 Well, this is the time where we decide it is up to us to put into practice or to demonstrate what we know, what we've covered. We have covered a pretty good amount of information thus far. Some we've covered more in depth. Some we've kind of skimmed over. Some things we did not cover, but we said, make sure that you cover certain things. And just before we give this pop quiz, because what kind of student will we be if we never are tested on what it is we've covered, right? We want to know if we can answer the questions God gives us the Bible. We should be able to recall what the Bible says. So before we do that, I want to cover a couple of things. Remember how we've done this. We have covered thus far Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Joshua, Judges, first and second Samuel. Those are the chronological books. We've also covered the complementary books, some more in depth than others, Job, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Ruth. We've also have for our disposal first and second Chronicles. So that being the case, who's ready for a pop quiz? I was never ready for a pop quiz in school. As a matter of fact, if I had heads up, I would do one or two things. I would be sick or I would try to find someone that was in the preceding class and ask them, hey, what was on the questions? What were the test questions like? Do you have some answers? Well, fortunately, this is an open book test, so you should be able to do OK. So that being the case, I want to go ahead and jump into it. We won't be, well, I don't know. I was going to say we won't be too long. We might be long. We might be long. We're not going to go in depth on all of the answers, but some of them we will. Some of them are trick questions, sort of, not really, maybe, possibly, but no, we haven't skipped any books in the Bible just yet. This is what I'm talking about. This is what I'm talking about. We got we got people already. Listen to this. We skipped some books of the Bible, which books have we skipped? Haven't skipped any of them thus far. Let's put it back on the screen. I see that I see this kid. He's going to go to principal's office. He's got to go to principal's office already. Here are the books we've covered. We've covered Genesis. We've read, we've literally read out of Genesis. Exodus, Numbers, Joshua, Judges, 1st and 2nd Samuel. We read out of Job. We read out of Leviticus, Deuteronomy. We've read out of Ruth. And we have read a little bit out of 1st and 2nd Chronicles. And here's what he says. Did we read every scripture? No, did you read every scripture? Were you responsible to read every scripture? Yes. I'll never forget when I went to college. The teacher told us, you have some. You have some professors that would tell you, here's your syllabus. You are responsible for what's in it. That's it. If you come to class, hey, it's up to you. If you read the material, it's up to you. If you do the homework, it's up to you. But that's the same way. And truth be told, honestly, truth be told, it really is the same way for all of us. In life, the material, here's your syllabus, here's your Bible. It is up to you to read it. Thankfully, we've got brothers and sisters that will kind of work with us and we can ask questions and so forth. So again, and the good part is, the good part is, Mr. 1689, this is an open book quiz. So that being said, let me go to my little tab that I have over here. I don't want to tell you how many questions there are thus far, because I don't want to scare you. Not a lot. It's not a lot. It's not a lot. But here's the first question. By the way, before I get to the first question, do you all remember what was one of the first questions if not the very first question? I'm not sure if it was the first question, but one of the first questions that we covered at the very beginning of this class. And even every time I do this, I always leave off either with this question or as one of the earlier questions. The question is, and it's not designed even to be known, the question is, for example, when were angels created? Were angels created before us or after we were created? At the same time, a second question that's similar to it, when was Satan cast down to the earth? The reason why I ask those questions is because the answer for both of those questions is, I don't know. I'm not sure, okay? Because there are times where you're not sure, but now you can give an educated guess as to what the answer to the question is. I think it's this, but I'm not totally sure, okay? So the reason for that, and the reason why I put the chart up there is to remember, all we're covering thus far is what we've done thus far. So is Christ the key to understanding what we've read so far? I can't answer that question. Christ, who is Christ? I think I've heard that name before. But don't remember, we won't cover anything that we have not yet read thus far. So to kind of answer, you have to answer questions. So what's the first question? Dog on a course of pop quiz, let's go ahead with the quiz. Pop it out, why don't you? Here it is, first question. In the very beginning, in the beginning of the Bible, where it says in the beginning refers to when? A, the very beginning of everything, B, the beginning of time, or C, in A beginning, not the beginning, but in A beginning. But you all look at it again, does it refer to in the very beginning of everything, the beginning of time, or in A beginning? And so as I'm looking at some of these, I see, you know what I need to do. I need to actually have this set up over here. Let me go ahead and pull this up over here on my other screen so I can make sure that as I'm looking at you guys, that I can remember what it is I actually pulled up in the first place. So where is it, where is it, where is it? There it is, click on that. And then why don't I just do this? Give me one second, guys, so I can go ahead and move it down here, put it on this screen. Thank you, sir, thank you, computer. Okay, give me one second, because A, A, A, I see C, D, okay. Now let me pull it up over here. Come on, why is this computer going slow? There it is. Even though I've got to begin tabs up, still shouldn't go this slow. All right, so the question is in the beginning, is it A in the very beginning? B, the beginning of time? C in A beginning, not the beginning. Well, the answer to the question is C. It's not the beginning, how do we know so? Well, let's go to the screen. Now we won't go over all the questions like this, but we've covered this before. As a matter of fact, we probably spent, we spent more time in the first part of Genesis than probably in any other part of the Bible. In the beginning, here we see over here, this better sheet, which is beginning, by the way, the Hebrew word for this book is called better sheet, which is in the beginning. And it's not the definite article, this literally means in a beginning. A particular beginning, not sure, but it's not the very beginning of everything. Certainly not the beginning of God's existence because we don't have such a thing. And oh, by the way, when we read this, we're gonna find out that when he says, let there be light, we said questions coming up, when we see let there be light, there was something there for him to say, let there be light on. So that being the case, that was the first one. Don't know how you guys did on that one. By the way, it's the honor system. So you have to judge yourself. You have to give your own, the right question, score yourself. Second question. What likely happened on day one? A, the earth began rotating or turning, that is, if it already wasn't. B, time began a 24 hour day. C, light shone from the sun. Or D, A and B. Read again. On the first day, day one, what happened? The earth began rotating, turning. If it already wasn't. B began, time began, 24 hour time began. C, light shone from the sun. D, A and B. So what say you guys? Is it A, B, C or D? And some folks you're gonna have to probably just rewind this, rewind the tape and then make sure you say, okay, I got that right, I got that wrong. And then you know what? Give this quiz to someone else. The correct answer is D. The earth began rotating, that is, if it wasn't rotating before it is now. And then B, time began, light shone from the sun. It could not have been C because there was no sun created. The sun had not yet been created. So the answer was D, A and B. All right, next question. What were the stars, planets and other celestial bodies made for? What were the stars, planets and other celestial bodies made for? This is the Hebrew word that we have, Kokavim, and that word didn't refer to just the stars. It refers to the stars, the planets, meteor, meteorites, what I'm saying. No, meteors, I guess meteorites if it comes into the atmosphere. Meteors, planets, comments. What were they made for? Put it on the screen again. What were those stars, planets and other celestial bodies made for? And here we go. CG, Cephas Rod have it correctly. It is signs, signs. They were made for signs, for signs and for seasons. Remember, think back to the navigators at that time. They could know and understand what was happening when the seasons were where they were going and so forth because they looked up. So when someone asked, what's the point and purpose of all these different stars and so forth, at least the ones that we can see, they are for a time and for a season. Some of the things that we can't see, we have seen, they've just disappeared. They've gone out of orbit or what have you or they come back. They are at the Bible says they are for a time for signs and for season. And as Chao Yuncat puts, the sun wasn't created until day four, correct? So anyone that's saying that the other question, that the sun, I mean that the light that was shining was from the sun, the sun had not been created. That's the S-U-N, the S-U-N. All right, next question. Where did Cain get his wife? Cite scriptural backing. Where did Cain get his wife? Cite scriptural backing. Either at A, a sister, B, niece, C, some other people God created or D, A, or B. Okay, where did Cain get his wife? Either A, a niece, B, I mean A, a sister, B, a niece. C, some other people that God created or D, A, or B. And the answer is A or B. So he either got her from his wife was either his sister or a niece. Now, real briefly, can anyone cite a reason how we can know that there were no other created people that Cain could have possibly gotten his wife from? Would anyone be able to, man, I'm glad I was getting ready to drink my coffee and my lid was not on. Can anyone give a, and matter of fact, even if you don't know the exact scripture, just throw out the reference, even if you don't know the scripture, where you could find or where you could prove that Cain could not have gotten his wife from somebody else. In other words, that there were other people created. How you could know this is one, Adam named his wife and her name is Eve. She is the mother of all living. And then also the Bible says that Cain entered the world through Adam. Now we haven't gotten there yet to that particular citing but Cain comes in through Adam. And so all those that died died Adam. So that would mean that if there's some other people they could not have been judged for sin because they didn't have sin if there were other people because all sin entered through Adam. Well, if there's some other people, and by the way where Cain is going, they were sinful people. That meant that their sin also comes about through Adam. Amen. Now, by the way, the questions are as we get further, one, they're going further into the book that we've read but then some of the questions are going to be a little bit more difficult. Okay. That was number, what number was that? That was four, are we on four? So now we're on number five, number five. When man ate of the fruit, how did he die? A, spiritually, B, physically, C, morally, D, all the above, E, none of the above. When man ate the fruit, how did he die? Spiritually, B, physically, C, morally, D, all the above, E, none of the above. And I think just about all of you guys got that part right. None of the above, I mean none of the above, all the above. He did die spiritually, that disconnection between God and man. B, physically, he began the process of dying. God says, from the earth you come from the ground, that's where you're going. And then C, guilt. Matter of fact, the first sign that we see was he hides from God. I was naked and afraid, I'm sorry, naked and afraid. Naked and ashamed, there's a show naked and afraid. Naked and ashamed, why are you ashamed? What's going on, Adam? Did you eat from the fruit? So the answer to that was, I cheated. No, no, no, no, you didn't cheat. If you look, this, by the way, you can even look on someone else's, this is one of those quizzes you can peek over and look on someone else's question or you can go to the book. So, in this case, cheating is easy, cheating is okay. You know, what's funny? That was a test taking strategy of mine back in the day. If all the answers were D, did y'all ever do that? Anybody ever do that? You try to figure out maybe there's some sort of pattern. They had one, I don't know if they do scantrons anymore. A, C, D, kind of thought there was a pattern, like it was Pac-Man, like there was a pattern to it. I was a horrible test taking it. Not that I was dumb, I'm just trying to figure stuff out or just was lazy, didn't feel like reading, but anyway. Next question, what number are we on? Six, we already did five. Yeah, so now we're on six. Number six, what covenant has the Bible named thus far? What covenant has the Bible named thus far? What covenants has the, yeah, the Christmas tree scantron. What covenants, do they still take scantrons? I should ask my wife that question, she's a teacher. Do they still do scantron? I don't know. And if you didn't fill the box in correctly, and I never knew one kid got it, got it in the argument with a teacher because he didn't finish answering all the questions. Well, I will make sure I filled in all the boxes correctly. So anyway, you still take scantrons? Okay, so what are the named covenants thus far? Dirk says noeik, noeik, noeik, Davidic, Abrahamic, and land and descendants, okay. Scarlett says Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David, okay. The federal says they were not named. Abraham is mosaic, noeik, okay. Thus far, up to this point, we have the noeik covenant name. We have the covenant with Abraham named. We have this covenant with Moses. We call it the old covenant. And then now we have the Davidic covenant named. Now, are they called the Davidic? Is it called the Davidic covenant? The Bible does call it the Davidic covenant they made with David. And it does say the covenant that I made with your father, Abraham. And then he refers to the old covenant as the old covenant or the covenant with Moses. And then with Noah, he calls it a covenant himself. Some might wanna say that there's an Abrahamic, I'm sorry, Abrahamic, an Adamic covenant. There was a covenant made with Adam. I don't have a problem if you say that that was a covenant also. The only problem is that's why I used the terminology that it was just not named. That's why I said what covenant has the Bible named thus far? In other words, what covenant did the Bible call it a covenant, I'm making a covenant with you. Where the word better sheet is actually brought up. I'm sorry, not better sheet, better eat. And so that's the point. If you wanna consider the covenant that he makes for the Adamic covenant, you wanna consider that? I don't have a problem, I really don't. I really don't. Just so that the named ones, the ones where he himself calls it a covenant. Amen? All right, number seven. What was the first prohibition given to Noah after the flood? What was the first prohibition given to Noah after the flood? Don't eat anything with blood. Don't shed blood. Have no other God. All of the above or A and B. Live up there for you, C. Don't eat anything with blood. B, don't shed blood. C, have no other God. D, all of the above or E, A and B. What say you? I see A, I see D. Let me pull up myself so I can remember what I'm looking at. I see A, I see D, a couple of D's. I see A and B. Let's see, Jenae says E. The correct answer, ladies and gentlemen, Jenae gets it, it's A and B. Don't eat anything with blood and don't shed blood. Right where he says that, he's talking about the value of blood. He says, do not eat anything with blood and don't shed blood and there will be a penalty for the person that sheds blood. He didn't say have no other God just yet. At least to Noah at that point in time. So it would be A and B. Now, let's go to number eight. Number eight. True or false? The no-a covenant was a conditional covenant. Guys, I'm gonna go out on a limb and tell you that this should be a pretty easy answer. The no-a covenant was a conditional covenant. True or false? What say you? Was the no-a covenant true or false? I mean, a conditional covenant, true or false? It was not a conditional covenant. There's no conditioned put on the covenant. By the way, and the reason why this is important about whether there's a condition put on it is because as we go through the Bible, guys, we're gonna see people add conditions at the Bible doesn't. And so you wanna make sure, again, say what it says. What it doesn't say, don't say, okay? Then there are times where you can add, you can kinda guess, I believe this. And then if you cite other scriptures because of this, because of this, okay, fine. But also be honest sometimes where you know what, I can see this, but I'm not totally sure. Now, if you're not totally sure, you wanna be careful not to base a doctrine or theological argument off of, I'm not sure. I just feel this way, okay, fine, feel this way. But don't put people in heaven or hell because they don't feel the same way you feel because scriptures don't say so, amen? And so there are times where folks are gonna say that certain things are a condition and they're not. Cover that just recently where they're even scholars will put on a particular condition and we read the passages and we just look and look and look either in the English or the Greek and there is just no condition. So let's go to number, number nine. What is a covenant? He said, this is awfully long for a quiz. This is a full blown test. No, this is a quiz. This is a quiz, I see, this is a quiz. What is a covenant? What is a covenant? I'm not necessarily looking forward to the exact definition, but if you know the ballpark, Andrea says, contract agreement. Sheila says, promise agreement. Covenant means, CIVA says covenant means agreement. These are multiple, no, not all are multiple shorts. No, as a matter of fact, as a matter of fact, listen, we've got some true, false, we've got some almost essays and some true, false, I mean, some multiple choice. Agreement, promise, contract. So let's put up for you guys what a covenant is. One, a covenant is an agreement, binding. And the definition of that's also used from this word, bereave, is a cutting, shedding of blood, passing through flesh. Now, the reason why I put that on there, this word, a cutting, a shedding of blood, passing through flesh. Remember how God kind of gives us one of the first covenants that he can put, and he didn't call it covenant, but it should be treated that way. And by the way, it should be an unconditional covenant. It is an unconditional bilateral covenant. We'll talk about that in a second. And that is the marriage covenant. There's no agreement. There's no conditions to it. Hey, honey, if you do this, I do that. You buy me this, I'll take out the trash. That is not how that works. If the person does not keep their end of the bargain, you still keep yours because it's an unconditional covenant. And so this word, bereave, is to, it's a cutting, a shedding of blood, a passing through flesh. And so you think about it how it is in the, once the consummation of the marriage is put together, especially if both of those, the male and the female, are both virgins as God intended, well then you'll also see the shedding of blood. Not to be too graphic, but that's what happens. And we're gonna see this actually shown or described in the Bible in just a little bit. And so that's what the covenant, that's what the covenant is. And there are, with the covenant, there are types of covenant. There's a unilateral covenant where one person is responsible for the terms and conditions of the covenant. There's a by, and they're affected one person. Bilateral, both parties and multiple parties are responsible for maintaining the covenant. Conditional, based on a set of conditions, if this, then that, and then an unconditional covenant where there is no condition given or set for the covenant. Okay, so now that being the case, we need to go to the next question. I think that is number, no, not that one, it is, I'm sorry, here it is. When was the Abrahamic covenant made? A, in Genesis 12, one through three. B, Genesis 15, one through eight. C, Genesis 18, one through 15. D, Genesis three, 15, or E, all of the above. Was it made in A, Genesis 12, one through three? B, Genesis 15. C, Genesis 18. D, Genesis three. D, Genesis three. E, all of the above. Now, guys, I went over this with all of you. And this where it can be a little bit tricky. I always refer to two pastors. I said these two pastors, get them tattooed, if you like tattoos, tattoo these two pastors. If you want to put something on the wall, put these two pastors and I would always say Genesis three. And then always we refer back to Genesis 12. Genesis 12 is the covenant of covenants. Obviously, the no way of covenant, there's no planet here, then you can't have any covenants. But the covenant of covenants is the no way of covenant because it's covering everybody. It's even covering Israel's conditional covenant and their mess ups. It covers everybody who is going to be in Christ, everybody. So I pointed to Genesis 12, but Genesis 12 is not that the covenant when it was given. Why do I say so? So Genesis 12, Genesis 12, Genesis 12 knows what it says. It says, now the Lord said to even go from your country and from your relatives and from your father's house to a language I will show you and I will make you a great nation. I will bless you. I'll make your name great. And so you shall be a blessing and I will be a blessing to those who bless you and to those who curse you, I will curse and in all the families of earth will be blessed. Well, that seems to be the covenant court, but that's not the covenant. The covenant actually isn't, and the correct answer is B. Genesis 15, let's go to Genesis 15. This is the covenant. After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abraham in a vision saying, do not fear Abraham. I am a shield to you. Your reward shall be very great. Abraham said, oh Lord, what will you give me since I am childless and the heir of my house at the Azar of Damascus? And Abraham said, since you have given me no offspring, one more of my house is my heir. Then behold, the word of the Lord came to him saying, this man will not be your heir, but one who will come forth from your own body. He shall be your heir. And he took him outside and said, now look towards the heaven and count the stars if you are able to count them. And he said to him, so shall your descendants be, then he believed in the Lord. Interesting. That's when the Bible says he believed the Lord. It says, and he said, I am the Lord who brought you out of the, out of the cow deans to give you this land to possess. He said, oh Lord God, how may I know that I will possess it? So he said to him, bring me a three-year-old heifer and a three-year-old female gold, a three-year-old ram, two turtle doves, three French hens that, I'm sorry, and a parched in a pear tree. Anyway, then he brought all of these to him and cut them into and laid each half opposite the other, but he did not cut the birch. The birds of prey came down upon the carcasses and Abraham drove them away. Here we go. Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram and behold a terror and great darkness fell upon him, God said to Abram, know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not there where they will be enslaved and oppressed for 40 years. But I will also judge the nation whom they will serve, 15. As for you, you should possess, you should go to your father's in peace and be buried at old age. Then the fourth generation, they will return for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete, verse 17. Then it came about when the sun had set that it was very dark and behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a flaming torch which passed between the pieces. On that day, on that day, the Lord made a covenant with Abram. Now remember, what did we say a covenant was? Let's put this back on the screen so we can see what a covenant is. It is a cutting. We see that here, a shedding of blood and a passing through of flesh. This is one of the few times in the Bible where we actually get to see a covenant ratified and acted. And because God is the one that's doing it, normally the both parties or the parties that are involved in the covenant will walk through, in this case, just one because it's just God. Abram, get over here and go to sleep. He puts him in the sleep, puts him to sleep and then God walks through signifying his ratification of the covenant. Genesis 12 and Genesis three, for that matter, and Genesis 18 and other parts give information about the covenant. Similarly, when we have the old covenant, the Mosaic covenant, what do we have? We have information about it, but then we get further detail as we go through different books and different chapters and so forth. And so to answer that question is number, letter B. I'm sorry, I said number B, letter B. All right, let's go to the next one. I think it's this slide. Yeah, who is Abraham's covenant for? Who is Abraham's covenant for? A, Abraham, B, the Jews. C, the families of the earth or the world. D, all of the world, I mean, all of the above. Who is Abraham's covenant for? A, Abraham, B, the Jews. C, the families of the world. Or D, all of the above. I think everybody will get this one. It is D, all of the above is for Abraham because he literally cites Abraham. It is for the Jews. And it is for all the families of the world because he says the very last part and that's the part that we need to hang our hat on because that's for us. I might, so my core, you might be a Jew. I might be a, if I am, if I'm a Jew, I'm not a very good Jew. To all the Hebrew Israelites that are listening. If I'm a Jew, I'm not a very good one. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm not keeping any attendance of it. Don't know this was not passed down to me. And oh, by the way, God has not put me back in the land. So as far as I know, I'm a Gentile. So all the way, I'm sorry, all of the above is the correct answer. So let's go to the next one. The next one would be who is responsible for keeping Abraham's covenant? That's the question. Who is responsible for keeping Abraham's covenant? A, Abraham. B, Abraham's descendants. C, the families of the world. D, all of the above. Or E, God. Who's responsible for keeping it? A, Abraham. B, Abraham's descendants, meaning this is Jews, the physical descendants. C, the families of the world. D, all of the above. Or E, God. Everybody's getting this. E, God. God is responsible. Remember, this is an unconditional covenant. God alone sets the terms. This is, by the way, now this is a unilateral covenant. One person's keeping it. It's for the benefit of other people though, but one person's keeping the terms of it. And he alone is responsible for it. He didn't, he put no dictates on Abraham or anyone else to be a part of this covenant. He is going to do this. This is all God. And because it's all God, we can all say amen. All right, next one. Listen, we're moving through this pretty quickly guys. We are moving pretty quickly. What kind of covenant was the Abrahamic covenant? Even though I just got through saying it, I should not have said it earlier. But what kind of covenant is the Abrahamic covenant? Is it A, unconditional? B, unilateral? C, conditional? D, bilateral? E, A and B? Or D, C and D? This is confusing, so I'm gonna leave it for a while. What is it? Is it A, unconditional? B, unilateral? Now, the answer is it's gonna be two of them, okay? It's gonna be two of them. So it's either going to be A and B, E or D, which will be C and D. Is this confusing? It should be confusing. So what is the answer? Well, it is A, unconditional covenant, and unilateral covenant. So the answer, the correct answer to this one is E. You gotta keep your letters straight. A, B, C, D, you gotta keep them all straight, okay? Sorry for the confusion. But you guys, listen, all of you guys are smart. All of you guys are intelligent. All of you guys. So, all right, next question. Was it 14, that's 15, I think I'm on. No, 16, I'm sorry, 16, slide 16. What are the elements of the Abrahamic covenant? What are the elements of the Abrahamic covenant? A, people, God promised to give descendants. B, land, God promised to give land. C, kingdom, a nation ruled by a king or leader. D, all the above. This is what I think would be pretty, I think this is fairly easy for you guys. This is fairly easy. Now, there are some people, some ministries, some channels where I just know the majority of the people listening, watching, would not do well. You guys will do well. You guys will do well. So, what are the elements? It's D, all the above. God in this promise. Now, does he specifically and explicitly say so upfront? No, some he does, he kind of alludes to, especially the kingdom, but implicit in that, there has to be people, there has to be land, there has to be kingdom, okay? And so, all of the above. Now, he's gonna further, the Bible's gonna further flesh these out in greater detail as we move throughout the scriptures, but those are the elements of that particular covenant. Next, why was Israel put into slavery? This is a good one. Why was Israel put into slavery? A, because Egypt was fearful of their numbers. B, as a sign to prove God's covenant with Abram. C, to bring about a king for Israel. D, all the above, or E, just A and B. Let me leave it up there for a second. I want you to think about this. Israel went into slavery because of Egypt was fearful of their numbers. B, as a sign to prove God's covenant with Abram. C, to bring about a king for Israel. D, all the above, or E, A and B. This one, I think a lot, I think a good number of folks are probably gonna get this one incorrect. The answer to this, guys, is D, all the above. God takes them into slavery for one. Egypt mentions that there's just too many of these people. So A is correct, but then B, as a sign to prove God's covenant, we just read in Genesis 15, how will I know? How will I know? And what does God say? Well, fine, I'll show you how you'll know. Now, it won't be for you. You'll die and go live with your fathers at a good old age, but your descendants will be with these people for 400 years. And then C, to bring about a king for Israel. We even find this even more so as we read while they're in captivity that this is what God has done and the scepter shall not depend, no more trick questions. The scepter is not going to, remember implicit in this covenant is there's going to be rulership. There's gonna be a king coming out of this. So that part is important. Oh, by the way, that Genesis 315 does loom over this because what is God trying to do? God is going to glorify his son in all of this, whether it be the Noaic Covenant, whether it be the Abrahamic Covenant, whether it be the Mosaic Covenant, or that certainly the Davidic Covenant because the Davidic Covenant speaks of him, whether it be the New Covenant, whether it be anything he is always going to and trying to glorify the son. And since the son is never glorified by himself, so to his father, that's a whole another conversation which we won't, we'll talk about a little bit, touch on a little bit. But anyway, so the correct answer is all of the above. Now I'll go to the next slide, which will be the Mosaic Covenant was conditional. Did God believe that Israel could keep it? The Mosaic Covenant was a conditional covenant, but did God believe that Israel would or could keep it? Did God believe that Israel would, I'm sorry, could keep it? Not that he believed that they would keep it, but did he believe that they could keep it? The answer is no, not that they could or would, not that they could or would. As a matter of fact, in Deuteronomy 30, he talks about, now he says if you do this previously in Deuteronomy 15, that you'll have these blessings. But then he goes on to say that you can't and you won't. He tells them, get your heart right, fix yourself and you won't. As a matter of fact, he says and now remember, this is even before they go into the land, he tells them before they go into the land, I'm gonna kick you out of the land. Wait a minute, God, hold it, wait a second. Run that by me again. You're taking us to a land that you're gonna put us out of? Yep, you don't have the ability to do so. And so God, now, even though the covenant was unattainable, God's point was not so much in having a covenant that's unattainable. That was not really his issue. The issue was again, bringing about something or should I say someone, amen? Next one would be, oh, this is a good one. I know a lot of folks that would get this. I don't know how many of you guys would get this wrong. I don't think you all would get this wrong or many of you would, but let's see. Which animals are unclean? According to the Bible, which animals are unclean? A, animals that chew the cut, but no divided hoof. B, pigs divided hoof, but does not chew the cut. C, seafood without scales and fins. D, eagles, hawks, vultures, ostrich. E, all the above. Or why do I do that? Or D, none of the above. Which guys would you say? Would you say A, B, C, D, E, all the above? Or D, none of the above? I wanna let this play a little bit. I wanna see if you guys get this one. Put it back on the screen again. This was, and for some reason, I accidentally shrunk this thing. Why'd you do that, Corey? There it is. So what's the answer? Some of you most are saying E. You know what, I'm sorry. That last one should not be D. The last one should be F. I'm sorry, I've got two D's on here. D, eagles, E, all the above, or F. I'm sorry, F, F, none of the above. None of the above. I'm sorry, guys, I messed up. The answer to this is F, none of the above. God does not call those animals unclean. Wait a minute, Corey, we literally read the Bible calls them unclean. Yeah, he says unclean to you. He does not call those animals that he created unclean. He says unclean to you, to Israel. We'll read another book later on where he says, don't call anything that I've created unclean or uncommon. So the correct answer is F, which I incorrectly added or did not put correctly. So let's go to the next one. We're almost through, guys, by the way, we're almost through. Why will God expel Israel from the land? You guys know this one. I know for a fact that you guys know this one. Why will God expel Israel from the land? The land. You guys know this. Why will God expel Israel from the land? The reason why, which answer? Did I earn the answer? Which one are you talking about, Andrea? The reason why God will expel Israel from the land because of the land Sabbath. He doesn't do it, yes, they're disobedient, but he tells us literally that in Leviticus 25 and 26, he speaks about them being dishonorable towards him, following after other guys, but this one particular, he goes after, he says, I'm putting you out of the land because you did not give the land at Sabbath. And so in doing so, what does he say the reason or the land is gonna do while they're out? The land is going to get their rest. And how many times did Israel disobey the seven year land Sabbath? Seventy times. That's interesting because they'd be trippin'. I like that, Karen. He's putting them out of the land for disobeying the land Sabbath portion of his. Now they disobey a lot of stuff. They disobey a lot. They go after other gods and so forth. Well, putting them out of the land is not because of the gods. That's them, their other punishments, but being taken out of the land because when he comes back, where is he going coming back to, to that land? He says, because you have disobeyed, I'm taking you out of the land and that way the land will get it Sabbath. Oh, by the way, how many times they disobeyed the seven year land Sabbath? Seventy times. So they get put out for 70 years and then he comes back later. We haven't gotten there yet where he's gonna say there's gonna be 77s that are gonna be prophesied to you. And then Jesus does, even though we haven't earned the right to say the name Jesus yet because we haven't covered Jesus yet, but he says, we asked how many times shall I forgive my neighbor? Seventy times seven. What is that? Well, that's how many times I'm forgiving you for your disobedience. So anyway, next one, number, the next slide will be, and we're almost, we're almost finished guys. What command does God give that he states that he will ultimately do for them? What command does God give that he states that he will ultimately do for them? God gives a command for them to do. Either you can say they can't do it, they don't do it, but ultimately God states also that he will do it for them. And this is an important one too. We've covered this a lot. God wants them to do it for themselves. Some will say they can't do it. Some will say they won't do it either or, but it's something that God states that he will do for them. And we cover this a lot. When I say we cover this, this part a lot, we cover this a lot. It's a command that God, matter of fact, it's not a command, just one book. He constantly tells them to do this. But then he goes on and tells us that, multiple choices, he goes on and tells us though, really the first time they tell, the first book that he tells them to do it, he comes back and says, I will do it. There it is. Charles and Arsenault say it. Change your heart, fix your heart, circumcise your heart. He tells them in Deuteronomy 10, circumcise your heart, get your heart right. But then he comes back in 30 before they even been brought into the land and have violated it. He says, I will circumcise your heart. And then we see it repeated in other passages, in other books we see it in Jeremiah, we see it in Ezekiel, we see it in Hosea, we see it I think in Lamentations. And so we see this, what God is gonna do with the heart. You do it. Now, the question is gonna be, we will not address this later. I mean, we won't address it today, we'll address it later. But the question is the argument is gonna be, they don't circumcise their heart either because they can't do it or they won't do it. Without starting a big argument, we won't address that just yet, we'll address it later. But it does command them to do so. Ah, let's go to slide 22. From what we've read thus far, who is the angel of the Lord? This is important from what we've read thus far. Guys, who is the angel of the Lord? A, Jesus, B, God, C, just an important angel. D, A, and B. What we've read thus far, who is the angel of the Lord? A, Jesus, B, God, C, an important angel. D, A, and B. All right, I see, I see A, I see B, I see A, people saying it's Jesus. I see people saying the angel of the Lord is God. I see C, no, I'm sorry, I don't see any C. And I see D, A, and B. I said I'll give you a few trick questions. The answer, guys, is not A. The answer is not D. The answer is, yes, A, right, this is a trick question. The answer is B. Wait a minute, Corey, I'm unsubscribing, you're a heretic. Are you trying to tell me that's not Jesus? That's not what I'm saying. That is not what I've said. We put it back on the screen. Let me read the question before you all dismiss me. Let me put it back on the screen. I want you to read the question. The question is, from what we've read thus far, from what we've read thus far. So I'm not saying that God, I mean that Jesus is not the angel of the Lord. I'm not saying that at all. We have not found, we don't know who Jesus is thus far. Is Jesus the angel of the Lord? Sure he is. Is God then sure he is? But we don't know that thus far. All we've read, all we know about, we know about God. We know about the Lord. We know about the angel of the Lord. We know about the angel of God. We don't know about Jesus just yet. Once we get there, we'll find out that it is Jesus also. So I don't want you all to, that's why I said what we've read thus far. All right? 23, 23, that's slide 23. From what we read thus far. There it is again, what we've read thus far. Has God only chosen Israel? No, David, you've not been hoodwinked or maybe you have. From what we've read thus far, has God only chosen Israel? From what we've read thus far, has God only chosen Israel? What say you guys? What say you guys? From what we've read thus far, has God only chosen Israel? Alrighty, I see a bunch of yeses and I see some noes. Yes, he's only chosen Israel. No, he's not only chosen Israel. Let me see a few more. Barry Bull says no. Arsenal says no. Kim says yes. Thayou says yes. Shek says yes. It's not a midterm. Tony says, yeah, Denise says yes. C.G. says yes. Arsenal says so far, yes. The answer is no. He has not chosen only Israel. He's chosen one nation, but he has only just chosen that nation. How do I know? Let's just back up a little bit. Just even speaking of Israel. When Israel is getting ready to go into the land, the land as promised to Abraham, who brings back the favorable report? Who are the two spies that go and bring back the favorable report? One is Joshua. The other is Caleb. Caleb is not Israel. Caleb is not a Jew now. He lives and dwells with them. As a matter of fact, he stays with Judah, but Caleb is not by birth ethnically a Jew. Interestingly enough, we've covered before that Caleb's name actually means dog. He is not. He is a kinesite. Number 32 tells us he's a kinesite. He's not a Jew. Then we go and see other people that are also brought in. Some of you all have heard of, I gotta. Rahab, what about Ruth? What about who Abraham kept with him? Some guy by the name of Eleazar. We don't know much about Eleazar, but there were provisions made for even the soldiers to come with him. So it's not just necessarily the Jews or Israel, but anybody who wants, and this is important guys, this would be something else. Anyone who wants to accept that God is God. Think about this. Because folks ask, well, why did God kill all these people? The Kenanites, the Hittites, the Jebusites, the Parasites. Anybody, if your last four of your nationality ended with ight, you were killed. Why? Well, it wasn't as though that they didn't have a chance. They all had a chance. They all had a shot. But what would they do? The Philistines, think about them. They knew about God. They knew about his hand on them, and they would steal. They would steal, go against them. Rahab was smart. She said, wait a second. We know about what's happening, what God has been doing. And so not only was she saved, but so too was her family. Amen. He does choose Israel, but they're not the only ones that he chose. They're the only nation that God has promised to do something with. But that didn't exclude everyone else who also wants to follow God. Amen. He has a plan that he's gonna do with that nation specifically, but I wouldn't wanna be a part. Personally, guys, I would not want to be part of that nation. Not right now, I wouldn't. I just wouldn't. Because it's gonna get pretty rough for them. All right, we are almost finished. We are almost finished. And I say dog on it because I feel bad. I don't wanna be almost finished. I want 40 more questions. Next question. What is the importance of Genesis 49-10? Which means I'm gonna have to go and put it on the screen. What is the importance of Genesis 49-10? Now, it's vitally important. Vitally important for Genesis 40 that's to understand what's happening with Genesis 49-10. What's the importance? What's put on the screen? This is where Jacob is blessing the boys. He comes to Judah and he says, the separate shall not depart from Judah nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet. That's important, guys, until Shiloh comes and to him shall be the obedience of the people. I think that's important to even see that of the people's plural and not of his people singular. I think that's vitally important, as a matter of fact. He ties the cold, I mean, a fall to the vine and his donkey's cult, the cult, amen, to the choice vine, I think that's important. So what is the importance of Genesis 49-10? It speaks about the main thing or the main person. That is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. We don't know, we haven't heard this name yet. So when we hear about this in Genesis 49, there's no way in the world that they could know. No way in the world, by the way, again, I say, people say, well, do they know that they place their faith in Jesus? If they did and to never mention him would be kind of odd, right? To know of Jesus and what he's gonna do and never mention, they didn't know. They have no idea. All they're doing, guys, all they're doing is what we should do, place their faith in God. We don't know where you're taking us, but the fact that we're on the bus with you, good enough. Where are we going, God, today? Don't worry about it, sit back and write, amen, Father. What are we gonna, how are we gonna get through this, God? Don't worry about it, amen. Glad to know you're taking us through it. God, I got a toothache, so what, I'm with you. Amen, Father. And then in, remember it, Genesis three. Genesis three kind of sets the tone. Speaking about her seed, this singular seed. Well, he is going to be the one that's gonna put an end to the enemy, not us, which by the way, by the way, it doesn't, we don't have to go too far in the Bible to realize the power is not on us, it's on him. He is gonna be the one that's gonna defeat the enemy. So all this, ooh, Satan, I bind you, I rebuke you, get behind me, no, no, no, no, no. You're not rebuking him, you're not binding him, you're not stepping on his head, all of those things, you are literally putting yourself in the place of God. Even the angels themselves would not bring a reviling accusation against Satan. He says instead, not from Michael or anyone, other angel who's more powerful than you, the Lord rebuking. So this does center about Jesus, which we get to the New Testament, he says that, you read about it, and all this is about me. So that's the importance of Genesis 49-10, even though we haven't gotten there yet, scripturally, we haven't earned that yet, but because we do know the end of the story, we do know who is speaking of, that this rulership is gonna come. And again, what this sets up is, we can see the importance of God's word. He says the separate should not depart Judah. And then what do we see happening? Well, the people, there's no kingdom that they know of yet, then they decide we want a king, like every other nation. And God says, well, listen, don't, don't, same thing, don't get upset because they reject, they're not rejecting you. They're rejecting me, but listen, it's okay. It's A-okay, it all works out. God does not predict. God is not Las Vegas where he's predicting something. He's not laying odds, know what he's doing is, he's telling you what is going to happen. If anybody says it shall be, or it will be, or what have you, bank on it if it's God. If it's anybody else, I'm not too sure. Take it with a grain of salt. But if he says it, if it's written in your Bible, it is what it is. Amen. So that's the important importance of Genesis 49-10. And then when we see, even when we see the old covenant show up, when we see the new or when we see the Davidic covenant, Jesus is highlighted in all of this. Amen. All right, we are almost there. We are almost there. What was the last one? I think it was, I can't remember which the last one was. Just click on this. It wasn't that one. Wasn't that one? Yeah, I'm sorry for a 24. Slide 24, give an example of God coming down, speaking with the people. Give an example of God coming down, speaking with the people. This is where I'm going to look at you guys, look in the chat and see your examples. You don't have to put the exact scripture. You don't have to put the, it was Exodus 15-7. No, just whatever scripture, by the way, Exodus 15-7 is not the answer. But give an example of God coming down, speaking with people. I said that almost 30 minutes ago, I did, didn't I? I see, yep, the burning bush. He heaped Moses. Amen. Adam, thank you for someone saying that. Mars bars. Adam, where are you? That's God coming down, speaking to him. Gideon, amen. Where else? Don't forget Hagar. Hagar, mountain Zion, amen. Joshua, matter of fact, Abraham. Thank you, Carol of Abraham. Isaac, same thing with him. Jacob, same with him. Joshua, Gideon, we see God showing up. We see God showing up in the old, just the Old Testament God, we haven't gotten there yet. We see God showing up. Thank you, Eclipse, when God comes down and with the two angels, one of those who's speaking there, one of these three angels, or these three messengers is God himself, because two go on, one stays. Yeah, we haven't gotten there to Elijah just yet though, Carol of, so, and oh, you know what? Yeah, Denise, because when he's speaking to them, the people that are sitting there looking at Moses go up, they recognize that that's God. They call him God, so yes. So, next question, next question. I knew you guys would get that. Though there'll be some people who say that wasn't God. That wasn't God, okay? So that was, okay, next one. What is, wait a second, oh, I skipped it. That's what I did. I thought, okay, I skipped it. Next one, why was the scepter to come to and not depart Judah? Why was the scepter to come to and not depart Judah? What was the reason the portents, why did the scepter go to Judah and not depart him? Now, this is where I'm gonna have to look in the chats and look at you guys' answers. Why did the scepter go, why did he go to Judah? What's so special about Judah? Cause Judah is not the firstborn or the second or the third, he's not even the youngest. But like Dutch says, the older brothers lost their lineage rights, they did. That's why they messed up, they messed up. Let's put it on the screen. Ruben, you're my firstborn, but you got a problem, Ruben. Ruben, we got issues with you. Now, by the way, let me just say this in case you don't know. My wife didn't know this and I had to help her out. I had to help her sister out. I had to help her wife out. I had to introduce her to the Ruben sandwiches. Delicious. If you haven't had a Ruben, go get your Ruben. Delicious. Ruben had issues, but making sandwiches wasn't one of them, amen, amen. Ruben, he messed up. It's because you went to your father's bed. Then you defiled it, he went up to my couch. Nope, Ruben. Sorry, you were gone. Simeon and Levi, I understand you were trying to help your sister out. Dinah, you were trying to venture, but sorry, you messed up and so, next in line comes Judah. That's it. Nothing really special. Nothing really deep. And that's why the promise is made to Judah. We're in, almost there, almost there. Thus far, here it is guys. Thus far, how many times have we seen the devil? How many times have we heard of or read about the devil? Thus far, let me leave it up there again. I want you guys to see this. Thus far, how many times have we seen or read about or heard about the devil? Now, is that a little bit tricky? I see, let's put it on the screen. One time, two times, twice. Okay, okay, this is, I don't know. I see what you're doing. I see what you're doing. Two and a half, two and a half times. Someone says zero, how many times? How many times, huh? The answer is, ladies and gentlemen, three times. Wait a minute, Corey. In the garden, that's one, it's one time. Then in Job, that's two. Where's this third time at, Corey? Let me help you guys out. These are the books that we've read or responsible for reading. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 13 books thus far. Even though we haven't covered all of them, 13 thus far. So let's go to one of the books that we have not read a lot of, but you're responsible for reading. That would be First Chronicles 21 and one. Then Satan stood up against Israel and moved David to number Israel. So David said to Joab and the presence of the princes go and number Israel. So here we have this happening. When we read First and Second Samuel, particularly Second Samuel, we didn't see that. We didn't see that, but we see it here because again, we have these on the screen, we have these complimentary books. First and Second Chronicles is a complimentary book to First and Second Samuel and First and Second Kings. So therefore, if we were to read First and Second Chronicles, because remember all we're doing is we are putting ourselves on the ground right there with them. And so just because we're reading Exodus, if we wanna know what all is taking place in Exodus and the law being given, we also have to read Deuteronomy, Leviticus and Numbers. So therefore, we have it also a third time where he's brought up, okay? So I told you, we can be a little bit tricky. We can be a little bit tricky. All right, I think there's only a couple more and then I think there's, is this it? No, all right, next one is, the next question is, what are the similarities between the Abrahamic and the Davidic Covenant? What are the similarities between the Abrahamic and the Davidic Covenant? What are the similarities between the Abrahamic and the Davidic Covenant? Well, think about, if even if you're not fully sure of what's going on with the Davidic Covenant, think about the Abrahamic Covenant. Yes, that's one, they both are unconditional, but what else? What else? Let's do this, let's go to the Davidic Covenant, 2 Samuel 7 and let's start in verse eight. And you're gonna see some things that are also brought up, that is mentioned as it relates to the Abrahamic Covenant. And before we get there, let me just tell you what they are. The land element is mentioned, the people and then the king just like in the Abrahamic Covenant. So let's go to 2 Samuel 7, 8. Thus there, now therefore, thus you should say to my people, my servant David, thus as the Lord of hosts, I took you from the pastor from following the sheep to be ruler over my people. Isn't that also kind of reminiscent of when he says, thus the Lord, I took you from her of the Chaldeans to this land? Same thing, I took you from here to there. So I'm the one responsible for this. I have been with you wherever you have gone and have cut off all your enemies before you. Also kind of reminiscent that anyone that's against you, I'll be against that person too, I'll bless those that bless you and curse with curse you. But here it is. And I will make your name great or make you a great name. Just like what he said with Abraham, I like the names of the great men who are on the earth. I will also appoint a place for my people. There's a land part with Israel. I will plant them and they will live in their own country and not be disturbed again, nor will the wicked afflict them. Let's drop down even from the day that I commanded judge over my people, Israel. I will give you rest from all your enemies. The Lord also declares to you that the Lord will make a house for you and when your days are complete and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up the sentence after you. These are the descendants after you who will come forth from you and I will establish his kingdom and he shall build a house for my name and I will establish the throne. So there's this kingdom, all of these things. So it's not that God has, you know what, let me tweak that Abrahamic covenant and do something that didn't know because as we covered before when we talked about the different covenants how they do flow beautifully right into the next. Even with the old, the Mosaic covenant, how it's not intrusive and violating of the Abrahamic covenant. No, it just kind of, it leads to what the Abrahamic covenant wants to have happen using, utilizing the Davidic covenant. And so you see all of these things that are spelled out in Abrahamic covenant, they're also spelled out once again in the Davidic covenant, okay? Two more and then we are through, two more. Is it two more? I think it's two more, wait a second. Doggone it. Yeah, here it is. How were people saved, atoned for or justified thus far? No, there's no school bill, Esau. What did the teacher say? What did the teacher say? You're not dismissed till I dismiss you. I'll never get my teacher saying that. The bell rang, I got my stuff together, I'm leaving, where are you going? You're not dismissed till I dismiss you, okay? But how were people saved or atoned for or justified thus far, thus far? Now remember, we're not, because what ends up happening is we think about just what we're reading right now. First and second, Samuel, first and second, Chronicles. No, what about in earlier parts? What about in Genesis? How are they justified? What about in Exodus? What about in Job? How were they justified? Were they justified by the sacrifices and offerings? There you go, faith, by faith, by faith. Whatever God is telling to do, faith in that. That's how. Now, we do have the day of atonement. We do have that. The day of atonement, there were people that were also saved or justified or atoned for prior to the day of atonement. Job didn't have a day of atonement. Enoch never had a day of atonement, okay? Abraham did not have a day of atonement. So how does it happen? The Bible says, like with Abraham, he believed and when in Genesis 15, it was accounted in faith. Abraham, I mean not Abraham, Enoch, faith. His faith was accounted in righteousness. Same thing with, with Job. Same thing with Cain, okay? It's just your faith, your trust in God. Whatever God tells you to trust in, that's what your faith ought to be in. In our case, it's the cross. In their case, under the law, what was it? It was the atonement. And that's gonna take us to the last part. And this is important. What are the elements of atonement? Is it A, y'all thought that we were through with the multiple choice. What are the elements of atonement? A, covering, B, counseling, C, reconciliation. And I meant to put D, all the above. Matter of fact, I just butchered that whole question. I did it incorrectly. So let's just leave it there. The answer to this question is, all of them. The elements of the atonement is a covering, which is the sin covered, not being seen, gone away. Not that you didn't sin, just gone away. B, canceling, canceling the debt. The offended party is made whole. The offended party's like, okay, I'm good now. C, reconciliation. The offender is then placed in right standing. There is fellowship. So remember this. So when we see before the law, there was this offering that was given. Remember in Genesis five, there was no day of atonement. There was no law. There was no cross. But God made a way for them to bring about an offering and then there was a right and a wrong way to do it. We don't know all the particulars of details, but there clearly was a wrong way because Cain did it the wrong way. And God says, if you just do the right thing, then you'll be okay. But if you don't, then sin will be at your door. But as it relates to the atonement, whatever you have done, it's covered. It's gone. So in the day of atonement, the scapegoat, all the sins are confessed on the head of the scapegoat and then that goat is sent away. We're going to find out later that Jesus is going to play the part of the scapegoat. Also, there is a canceling of the debt that's owed. We owe a debt. Someone pays the debt. Once the debt is paid, you owe me nothing else. And because I don't see your sin, I don't regard your sin anymore. I know your sin. I know what you did. He's God, but he didn't regard him anymore. The debt, the offense that was there between us, it's gone. What you stole has been made whole, all of those things. And then the whole point is reconciliation. You are in right standing. The reason why, guys, that is so important is because that's how God works. That's how he operates. If you are in right standing with him, if he has justified you, no one else can come against you and say, ah, you still owe something. How dare a person come and say that, yes, God has justified me, but I still think you owe something. Yes, I stand in right standing before God, but you sin so much, you're no longer in right standing. I know we haven't earned that yet. We haven't gotten there yet, but there's a book that's written by one of God's apostles. And in chapter eight of that book in Romans, he says, if he has justified you, who then can bring a charge against one of God's elect? If it is God who justifies, not you, not me, not some of the boob on YouTube or at some church somewhere on the street corner, no, it is God who justifies. And if he justifies you, they can't say nothing. If he sees you in right standing, not that you're a right person, not that you're righteous in and of yourself, but he treats you as right. To be justified is to be declared right and treated as such. Maybe not by mankind, but by God. If God has to determine, and he has, if he's determined by your faith to treat you right, as though you have done nothing wrong, though you have, treat you right, you are in right standing, you are justified. If the debt has been paid, and it has been because Colossians tells us that, and Jesus on the cross says so, it has been finished, the debt is paid, then guess what? You are justified. How long? Not like the Old Covenant, not like in the day of Atonement where you are justified for a period of time, and you have to repeat this cycle year after year after year and also intermingle with that these different offerings, no more. There's no command for yearly Atonements. There's no more commands for offerings year after year as often as you know. Nope, there's no command for that. What you do have is this one time, as he says he did it once for all, and then set down at the Father's side, that's that. You have been justified once. One time, that's all required. And if he justifies you, nobody. Or as they say in the South, Kate, nobody unjustified you. Amen. So guys, I think this was fun. Hope it was fun. Hope it was fun. Sure, there gonna be some folks on. I disagree with this question, this answer. That's fine. And if we're wrong, then fine. We'll go back and say, yeah, you know what? That answer was wrong or that question was written improperly. But the goal is to make sure that we don't lean to our own understanding. But what does the text say? Amen. Amen.
