WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.359 --> 00:00:05.040 To Sunday Service, episode seventy eight. I am your host, 2 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:07.639 Josh Monday. If you're no ma, I'm a Christian rapper, devoter, 3 00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:09.400 her husband, father, and Army veteran. This is brought to 4 00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:12.279 you by Cope of Conspiracy Podcast. Thank you so much 5 00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.720 for joining me so Like I always do, I like 6 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:16.600 to give out some shout outs from last week. Who 7 00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:20.280 commented We had a MDMP twenty two comment. We had 8 00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:23.480 j T linn Oh, you say you listened to the 9 00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:26.559 work You listen to all our readings, all your readings 10 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.280 during my workouts. Love them. Thank you so much, appreciate it. 11 00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:31.839 Like I said last week on Wednesday Service, Actually I 12 00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.600 do the same thing. I try to listen to some 13 00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.000 type of information that has to do with the Bible 14 00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.840 or you know younger older creation, or listen to you know, 15 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.200 pastors preach or whatever I can listen to as well, 16 00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.079 or I listen or I do it in complete silence. 17 00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:51.280 One of the two. Jordan Richmar, thank you, brother, appreciate you. 18 00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.159 V Wills, thank you. Whiskers White. Please pray for our family. 19 00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.079 Extremely busted already, but there still needs more praying for all. Right, 20 00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.840 Amen to that. I pray for that Angela Kelly, thank 21 00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.760 you so much, appreciate you, and then let me go 22 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.519 to Wednesday's service real quick. And as you can tell, 23 00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.000 my voice is a little rasped because I had just 24 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.760 got just getting over a cold NBMP twenty two. Thank you, 25 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.959 Jordan rich Meyer, thank you. You said, Hey, Josh, do 26 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.239 you believe the sun we see as a physical object 27 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:24.799 or is it possible the source of light is shining 28 00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.840 through the firmament, which could leave the possibility of the 29 00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:29.959 Sun being in two places at once. For example, if 30 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.680 you shine a laser pointer through a glass, there can 31 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.640 be two different points of light on the other side. 32 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.159 Curious on your thoughts about this. Much love to you, brother, 33 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:43.120 I appreciate your work. So in the biblical cosmology model, 34 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.799 what I've always thought is that the sun was within 35 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.040 the firmament, like under the firmament, and the moon and 36 00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.680 the Sun are moving underneath the firmament, not actually physically 37 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.840 above the firmament. Because God said he did place the 38 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:56.920 moon some of the stars in the firmament, and some 39 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.120 of the research that Rob Skiba did in Hebrew, when 40 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:04.200 it says in it could mean under okay, meaning it's 41 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.719 within the firmament. So that's what I believe. I believe 42 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:12.360 the sun is. Excuse me as far as like what 43 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.560 the sun is, I don't know exactly what the Sun is. 44 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.199 I know it's a light, you know, it's a God 45 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:19.360 created the greater light to rule the day, less delight 46 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:21.960 to rule the night. So there's only two great lights. 47 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:23.319 One of the lights is going to be the Sun. 48 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.919 The other light's going to be the moon. Right, so 49 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:28.159 the greater light to rule the day would be the Sun. 50 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.960 The less delight rule of the night is the moon. Okay, 51 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:35.080 So I don't believe God would be deceptive and have 52 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:40.599 the sun. Two different train of thoughts here. One of 53 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:43.439 the trade of thoughts would be that the way that 54 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:47.039 they made the globe was by what the the heavens 55 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:48.599 are doing, you know, what the sun and the moon 56 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.159 are doing. And some people say they reverse engineered what 57 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.159 the sky is doing to point out the globe. But 58 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:57.639 for the Sun to be a twenty four hour sun 59 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.000 in Antarctica, you know, and then a twenty four hours 60 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.719 sun in the Arctic, if we find the twenty four 61 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:04.639 our son in the Arctic, we wouldn't say anything about 62 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.639 the Sun being a reflection or anything like that. On 63 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.120 the only reason why someone is saying that is because 64 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.120 there's twenty four our son in Antarctica. That's why someone 65 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.240 would say that, because that Antarctica is supposed to be 66 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.560 around the outside brim of the flat earth. So I'm 67 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.240 not saying you're saying that because of that. I'm just 68 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.199 saying that through my research, I only see people saying 69 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.000 that about the outside rim. But just because the Sun 70 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.120 in the Arctic is doing what the flat earth calls for, 71 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.280 they're not going to say that about that. And then 72 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.199 the sun, you know, moving in the tropics, you know, 73 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.199 is the normal way of the sun, you know. So 74 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.800 we have no issue in the north. The issue that 75 00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:42.360 we have with the flat earth is going to be 76 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.319 in the south, all right, because the South is supposed 77 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:49.719 to expand, right, and it's supposed to cover the Antarctica 78 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.680 is supposed to cover the outside rim of the flat earth. Right, 79 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:56.000 That's what the normal concept of flat earth is. So 80 00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.319 when we have a issue with the Sun, now we 81 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.879 have to strike to go to deflecting to oh it 82 00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.400 might be shining through the firmament, it must be reflecting. 83 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.879 But apparently what these guys did when they were in 84 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.159 the final Experiment, whether you believe it or you don't 85 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.840 believe it. They said that they filmed the Sun's spots 86 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.720 and they match the sun spots on the Sun. So 87 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.240 it's a reflection, then it should be it should be different, 88 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:22.720 you know, the sunspots should be flipped or the Sun 89 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.519 should be flipped a different way because it's a reflection, right, 90 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.480 So it's not gonna be perfect sunspots that we see 91 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:29.920 on the actual Sun. So what they said is they 92 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.360 feel like, you know, they felt that they did that 93 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.000 so they could say that they film the actual Sun. Now, 94 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.240 some people don't believe the Final Experiment and think that 95 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.560 it's a lie and that it's filmed in a studio 96 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.160 and all this other stuff. So I really couldn't use 97 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.759 that as evidence because of the flat earth community not 98 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.959 accepting the Final Experiment. But I did, Jordan, I did 99 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.160 have a guy on my show that I met. I 100 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:56.680 met him. I met him actually through a friend that's 101 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.360 a flat Earth. They're one of my best friends from 102 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.519 high school, my friend Jared, and my friend Jared installs 103 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.680 garage doors and he met this guy who also in 104 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.879 stars garage doors in Orange County, right, California, and his 105 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.680 dad owns one of the largest groage Doro companies in 106 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:17.879 Orange County. So this gentleman, his name is Levi, he's 107 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:22.680 a Christian. He's gone to McMurdo Station, which is in Antarctica, 108 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:24.360 and he said there's a twenty four our son for 109 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:28.560 sure in Antarctica. So that's kind of like somebody that 110 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:30.800 has no skin in the game. He's not like a 111 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.319 glober where he's out fighting globe believe or flatter Earth 112 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.560 beliefs all day. No, he doesn't even I didn't even 113 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:38.240 mention flatter to him when I first talked to him. 114 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:39.360 I just said I want to talk to him about 115 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.079 the twenty four son in Antarctica. I wanted the conversation 116 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.319 to be completely organic, and it was. And when he 117 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:45.839 was on my show, he said, there's a twenty four 118 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.040 our son in Antarctica for sure, no question about it, 119 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:54.399 no doubt. Okay. So what I'm saying is, obviously my 120 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:56.920 friend Levi didn't film the sun and try to find 121 00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.519 the sunspots. But if the sun is doing a if 122 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.519 the Sun is doing a circle around you in Antarctica 123 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.000 in December and is doing a circle around you and 124 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.560 the Arctic, and then if the if you're in Antarctica 125 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.800 and the sun is south of you, right, and then 126 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.199 you call someone in Australia and say, hey, where's the 127 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.639 sun located, and in Australia they tell you that it's 128 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:22.160 over their head. Then obviously that's a problem for flat Earth. Okay, 129 00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.319 so because on a globe, the Australia would be on 130 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.920 the other side of the ball, right, So that's one thing. 131 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:32.439 So I haven't really I talked to Jaron from Jerinism 132 00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:36.040 about you know, did he contact anybody from Australia. He 133 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.399 said he did when he was in was in Antarctica. 134 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.120 I don't know who he contacted, but he said that 135 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.600 the sun was over you know, was over their heads 136 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.839 in Australia at the time that the sun was south 137 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.439 of him. So that's kind of obviously would be put 138 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.720 into you know, if you had three hats, one hat 139 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.680 for flat Earth, one that hat in the middle for globe, 140 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.360 and then one for flat end globe. Obviously there's some 141 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.920 evidences that you could put in each one, and long 142 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.000 distance photography and long distance what would be put in 143 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:05.759 like a flat earth, you know, if it does prove 144 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.920 the radius wrung, you know, something like that. But the 145 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.800 sun's movement is something that seems to match what the 146 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.560 globe is predicting in their claims. What I'm gonna do 147 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.439 is go to fifty three degrees north. Fifty three degrees 148 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.399 south put To Arena's Chili is going to be south. 149 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.360 So that's gonna be the most important for me. I'm 150 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.240 going to see what the sun does at fifty three 151 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.040 degrees south. So if you have a globe, ninety degrees 152 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.920 is obviously the top of the globe, right, they would 153 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.240 say the bottom of the globe in the south, and 154 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:34.079 then the equator would be in the middle. So between 155 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.000 the equator and ninety degrees is going to be fifty degrees. 156 00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:39.480 I can only go fifty three because it's in poot 157 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:42.160 To Arena's Chili, so it's right there on the edge, 158 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.879 so I can you know, it's right there on the beach, 159 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.120 so I can kind of see what's going on with 160 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.480 the sun a lot better than if I was at 161 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.480 fifty degrees, which would be kind of like an inland city. 162 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:54.120 Poot To Arenas is a better observation for me. So 163 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:56.920 that's why I chose fifty three degrees north, which is Edmonton, Canada, 164 00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.600 fifty three degrees south, which is put to Arena's chili 165 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:02.399 to film what the sun does, because on a flat Earth, 166 00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:05.759 it's supposed to be going clockwise over the flat earth, right, 167 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:07.240 So I need to find out what the sun is 168 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.600 doing in the south if the So as far as 169 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:13.759 your question there, I do believe the sun. We know 170 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.120 where the sun is at, you know, because we have 171 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:19.600 people that are that are able to see this where 172 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:21.079 the sun is at at all times, right, And I 173 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:24.240 believe there's only one sun, not too. Bible says great electrial, 174 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.560 the day, less, selectual the night. So to answer your question, 175 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:29.920 I don't know. I don't think it's shining through the 176 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.960 firmament unless the Sun is actually literally in the firmament. 177 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.360 But how does that work? Is the firmament moving? I 178 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.399 thought the fermat was solid and connected to the earth 179 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.399 on the flat earth. So are you trying to say 180 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.759 that that the sun is outside the firmament? Well, on 181 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:46.159 the in the biblical cosmology model, it's supposed to be 182 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.559 within the ferment or inside the ferment, and even on 183 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.799 the flat earth model, it's supposed to be moving inside 184 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.440 the fermament, not on top of the firmament. So I 185 00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.399 don't know how that would work, but it's something that 186 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.399 Joe Handy was trying to say that he he shined 187 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.279 a light. He was trying to use some model, but 188 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.919 I don't know if that is viable, if that makes 189 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:10.080 sense yet. So yeah, there's different changes of thoughts on that. 190 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.679 All right, Whiskers White, thank you for your comment. MJ 191 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:17.279 D seventy. Also, thank you MJD seventy. Thank you God 192 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:20.519 bless listening while driving keeps me calm awesome. Angelae Kelly, 193 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.519 thank you so much. Really appreciate you. But Jordana, you 194 00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:26.360 can always contact me bro. You have my Instagram, so 195 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.879 contact me with any questions. I have no problem answering them. 196 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.159 And when I go and this whole thing that I 197 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:35.519 set up, it was from me. This is not coming 198 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:38.159 from any other source. So I basically said I want 199 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.200 to do this, and I hit up Jared from Jerinism 200 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.519 because he made the claim he said that the Earth 201 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:45.679 is symmetrical and that the sun is going to in 202 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:49.559 the south is going to be going it's going to 203 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:53.200 be exactly mirrored on June twenty first and December twenty first, 204 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:57.320 on those specific degrees that the Sun's going to be mired, 205 00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:59.639 you know, but it's going to be like they're not 206 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:02.679 going to be so since it's doing a twenty four 207 00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:07.080 hour circuit in the Arctic during June twenty first, then 208 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:10.039 we're gonna see the sun basically rising and setting this way. 209 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:11.679 And then I don't know how to do it on 210 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.679 here because it might be reversed. But yeah, so we're 211 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:16.480 gonna just see what the sun does. I'm gonna film 212 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:18.279 it and then I'll let you guys know what I find. 213 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.120 And I'm also gonna film it and I'll put it 214 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.279 on my YouTube and then General put on his YouTube 215 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.240 and we'll have you know, we'll have some observations from 216 00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:27.759 the Earth of the Sun. God created the heavens and 217 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:29.919 the earth. God created the Sun, God created the moon, 218 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.360 so he's not going to be deceptive. So I want 219 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:34.600 to see what happens with it. And it's a flat 220 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:38.039 Earth experiment for me because I'm experimenting on the Earth 221 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:41.840 finding out what the sun does. Right, So basie what's 222 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:45.039 going on? And really appreciate you guys for commenting. Please 223 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.279 keep the comments coming. And I am gonna be you know, 224 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.679 just doing this because I've been trying to search this 225 00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:53.559 out for a long time. You know, this has kind 226 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:56.039 of been a thing for me to be searching, and 227 00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:58.559 I've been working on this for five years, you know, 228 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.960 doing biblical cosmology on plenty of shows, and I want 229 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:03.919 to make sure that I'm teaching correctly. So I want 230 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.720 to see what the sun is doing, whether it is 231 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.759 going away from you on a flat earth, doing a counterclockwise, 232 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:11.960 or it's doing something else. So I want to find 233 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.320 that out. So that's the whole point of it. But 234 00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:18.080 all right, so we're gonna be in First Chronicles chapter 235 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:25.240 ten today for Sunday service. Let me go over a introduction. 236 00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:28.720 So First Chronicles ten recounts the tragic and dramatic end 237 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:32.159 of King Saul and his sons. It illustrates the consequences 238 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:35.320 of disobedience and the repercussions of going against divine will. 239 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:38.600 It also marks a significant shift in Israel's history, setting 240 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.720 the stage for a new royal lineage. Okay, so obviously 241 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.279 we kind of went over this in Kings, but sometimes 242 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.720 in Chronicles it's actually more descriptive. All right, So let's 243 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:53.039 go ahead and check this out. So First Chronicles ten, 244 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:57.600 verse one. Now, the Philistines fought against Israel and the 245 00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:00.039 men of Israel fled from before the Philistines end and 246 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:04.120 fell slain on Mount Gilboa. Then the Philistines followed hard 247 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.120 after Saul and his sons, and the Philistines killed Jonathan, 248 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:13.240 Abinedab and Malchushua saw sons. The battle became fierce against Saul. 249 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:17.120 The archers hit him and he was wounded by the archers. 250 00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:19.879 Then Saul said to his arm bearer, draw your sword 251 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.399 and thrust me with it, lest their uncircumcised men come 252 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:27.000 and abuse me. But his arm bearer would not, for 253 00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:29.720 he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and 254 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.080 fell on it. And when his arm bearer saw Saul 255 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.240 was dead, he also fell on his sword and died. 256 00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:36.720 So Saul and his three sons died, and all his 257 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.480 house died together. And when all the men of Israel 258 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:42.519 who were in the valley saw they had fled and 259 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:46.000 Saul and his sons were dead, they force forsook their 260 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.480 cities and fled. Then the Philistines came and dwelt in them. Okay, 261 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.519 so we'll stop there real quick. So we have the 262 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.919 battle and defeat. So it says now the Philistines fought 263 00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.279 against Israel and the men of Israel fled before them, 264 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.960 and many for fell slain in Mount Gilboa, First Chronicles ten, 265 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.799 verse one. The chapter begins with the vivid depiction of 266 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:15.679 Israel's defeat, emphasizing the consequences of turning away from God. Okay, 267 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:19.120 hold on. So. The concept of battle and defeat is 268 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:21.960 a reoccurring theme throughout the Bible, illustrating both physical and 269 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:25.440 spiritual conflicts. These narratives often serve as metaphors for the 270 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:29.000 struggles between good and evil, obedience and rebellion, and faith 271 00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:32.159 in doubt. The Bible provides numerous accounts of battles, both 272 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:36.759 literal and figurative, that convey lessons about God's sovereignty, human frailty, 273 00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:42.120 and the human victory over divine purposes. Old Testament battles 274 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:44.360 the Battle of Jericho. One of the most famous battles 275 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.159 in the Old Testament is the Battle of Jericho, where 276 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:49.360 the Agilites, led by Joshua, conquered the city through divine intervention. 277 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:53.519 The walls of Jericho fell after Israel marched around them 278 00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:56.600 and for seven days as instructed by God. This event 279 00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:00.000 is recorded in Joshua six verse twenty. David and Galih 280 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.480 the encounter between David and Goliath is a quintessential example 281 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:08.639 of faith overcoming seemingly insumpt in some surmountable odds. David, 282 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:12.279 a young shepherd, defeats the giant Goliath with they sling 283 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.879 in a stone, demonstrating that victory comes from the Lord. 284 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:18.399 First Samuel seventeen, verse fifty, and then the defeat of 285 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.759 AI's interesting It's called Ai. Following the victory Jericho, the 286 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.639 Israelites face defeat at Ai due to arch and sin 287 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:31.000 of taking forbidden items. This defeat highlighted the importance of 288 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:34.279 obedience to God's commands, and this is recorded in Joshua seven, 289 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:41.279 verse five. New Testament New Testament spiritual battles. Jesus temptation 290 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:44.480 and the New Testament spiritual battles are emphasized, particularly in 291 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:47.120 Life of Jesus. His temptation in the wilderness by Satan 292 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.919 is a significant spiritual battle battle where Jesus uses scripture 293 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:55.000 to counter each temptation, and this is recorded in Matthew four, 294 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:59.720 verse ten, where Jesus' response was away from me, Satan, 295 00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:02.240 for it has written, worship the Lord your God, and 296 00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.159 serve him only the armor of God. The apostle Paul 297 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:08.240 speaks of spiritual warfare, and Ephesians six, verses ten through 298 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:10.960 eighteen urging believers to put on the full armor of 299 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.879 God to stand against the wiles of the devil, which 300 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.600 is the schemes of the devil, which is Ephesian six 301 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:21.320 twelve r sorry. Ephesian six to twelve explains for our 302 00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:23.720 struggles not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, 303 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:26.200 against the authorities, against the powers of the world's darkness, 304 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:30.720 and spiritual forces of evil in heavenly realms. The final battle. 305 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:34.200 The Book of Revelation describes the ultimate battle between good 306 00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:37.120 and evil, culminating the defeat of Satan. In Revelation twenty, 307 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:40.360 verse ten declares, and the devil who had deceived them 308 00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:42.200 was thrown into the lake of fire and soul. For 309 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:44.919 where the beast and the false prophet are, they will 310 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:47.960 be tormented day and night, forever and ever. Lessons from 311 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:50.840 battles and defeats Throughout the Biblical narrative, battles and defeats 312 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.879 serve as reminders of the consequences of sin, the necessity 313 00:15:54.919 --> 00:16:01.759 of faith, and the assurance of God's ultimate victory. They 314 00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:04.960 teach the reliance on God, adherence to his commands and 315 00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:09.279 spiritual vigilance and essential for overcoming both physical and spiritual adversities. 316 00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.519 The accounts of Bible and Defeat and the The accounts 317 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:15.080 of Battle and Defeat and the Bible underscores the belief 318 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.799 that while human strength is limited, divine power is boundless 319 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:24.720 and triumphant. Okay, So obviously in this example of Saul, 320 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:28.399 he was he was not being obedient to the Lord. 321 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:30.360 So this is, you know, this is kind of what 322 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.159 ends up happening here. And right before this, remember he 323 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.120 went to the witch of Orndor and was trying to 324 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:40.399 bring up Saul to speak to him because he was 325 00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:42.879 feeling alone, you know, didn't know what to do, and 326 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:46.799 he was he needed to speak to his old prophet, Saul, 327 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:50.000 I mean his old prophet Samuel. And he brought him up, 328 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:51.919 and Samuel let him know that the next day you're 329 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:54.399 going to be dying in battle. And that's what ended 330 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:59.759 up happening, so Saul's death. Saul's demise is described in 331 00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:02.559 verse three through six, where he critically wounded and ultimately 332 00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:05.000 takes his own life. This act underscores the despair and 333 00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:08.799 hopelessness that can result from a life lived in disobedience. 334 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:13.880 So Saul, the first King of Israel, met his tragic 335 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.359 end at Mount Gilboa, turning a battle against the Philistines 336 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.240 which we just went over. His death marked a significant 337 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:22.440 turning point in the history of Israel, paving the way 338 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:25.680 for David's ascension to the throne. The account of Saul's 339 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.400 death is recorded in the First Samuel thirty one. If 340 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.000 you guys want to go back and kind of read that, 341 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:31.880 see what that says about it, and then also in 342 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:34.920 First Chronicles ten, which we just wrote it read, providing 343 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.680 a somber narrative of the fall of a king who 344 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:40.799 was once chosen by God but later rejected due to 345 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:45.519 his disobedience. The Philistines, long standing enemies of Israel, engaged 346 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.880 in battle with the Israelites on Mount Gilboa. The conflict 347 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.319 was fierce and the Israelites were overwhelmed by the Philistines' forces. 348 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.200 As the battle intensified, the Philistines press hard against Saul 349 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.960 and his sons. The Philistines overtook Saul and his son 350 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:04.440 and they killed his sons, Jonathan, Benedab and mel Kushawa 351 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:08.880 kishiwa Archishawa. I guess you could say First Samuel thirty one, 352 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.680 verse two. As the battle rage, Saul found himself in 353 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:14.799 a dire situation. The artist targeted him and he was 354 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.400 critically wounded, which we just read in First Samuel thirty one, 355 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.119 verse four. So Saul took his own life and fell 356 00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:23.200 on it. The aftermath after Saul's death, as armor, Beard 357 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:25.839 also took his own life. The defeat was catastrophe for Israel, 358 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:29.319 and the army fled and the Philistines occupied in surrounded cities. 359 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:31.720 The Philistines found saw his body the next day, stripped 360 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:35.319 it and sent his armor to the Temple of the Idols. 361 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.839 They fastened his body to the wall of betha Shan, 362 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:40.559 and as a display of their victory, the men of 363 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:43.960 Jebish Gilead, in an act of loyalty and respect, retrieved 364 00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:46.480 the bodies of Salom and his sons, burned them and 365 00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:49.880 buried their bones under a tamaras tree in Jibesh, fasting 366 00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:52.559 for seven days. And that's in First Samuel thirty one, 367 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:55.920 verses eleventh through thirteen. It's good to kind of revisit 368 00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:58.480 this so you guys can see. Saul's death is often 369 00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:01.079 viewed through the lens of divine judge. His reign, which 370 00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:04.200 began with promise, was marred by disobedience and a failure 371 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.359 to fully submit to God's commands. The prophet Samuel had 372 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:10.319 previously declared to Saul, because you have rejected the word 373 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:12.720 of the Lord Yahweh, he has rejected you as king. 374 00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:16.559 Saul's demise serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences 375 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:20.319 of turning away from God's will. The death of Saul 376 00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:22.359 and his sons marked the end of his dynasty. In 377 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:25.160 the beginning of David's rise to power, David had been 378 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:28.079 anointed by Samuel as the future king, mourned the loss 379 00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:31.920 of Saul and Jonathan, composing a lamentation that expressed his 380 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.759 deep sorrown respect for the fallen king and his beloved 381 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.720 friend Jonathan. Second Samuel one Verses seventeen through twenty seven. 382 00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:42.039 Saul's death, while tragic, set the stage for the establishment 383 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:46.400 of a new era in Israel's history under King David's leadership. 384 00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:49.960 So yeah, so that's kind of good to go over. 385 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:51.759 So it kind of brings us back to Samuel. So 386 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.599 you see a couple things in there, and then let's 387 00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:57.480 go ahead and continue. Actually, yeah, let me get go 388 00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:01.119 out and continue here. Verse eight. Now is going to say, 389 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:03.680 so what happened the next So we're going to be 390 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:06.279 in First Chronicles ten, verse eight. So what happened the 391 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:08.680 next day? When the Philistines came to strip the slain. 392 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:11.359 They had found Saul and his sons fallen on Gilboa, 393 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:14.000 and they stripped him, took his head and his armor, 394 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:16.039 and sent the word throughout the land of Philistines, who 395 00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:18.000 proclaimed the news in the temple of the Idols and 396 00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:21.079 among the people they put his excuse me, they put 397 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:23.559 his armor in the temple of their gods, fastened his 398 00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:27.599 head to the temple of Dagon. That's crazy. And when 399 00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.559 all Jibesh Gilead heard all the Philistines had done to Saul, 400 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:32.839 all the valiant men arose and took the body of 401 00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:35.359
