We begin our work of building an observational outline for Isaiah 42

WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.399 --> 00:00:06.599
All right, Isaiah chapter forty two. Isaiah chapter forty two

2
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:11.199
is where we begin today now, just to show you

3
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.000
what we're going to be dealing with. I wish I

4
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:16.679
had a bluetooth speaker, but I'm gonna play this hopefully

5
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:18.000
you can hear it. I'll hold it up to the

6
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:19.839
lapel mic where people on the internet will be able

7
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:23.039
to hear it. I'm on the way here. I was

8
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:25.719
listening to this copter. Isaiah chapter forty two.

9
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:30.199
We read, or we find the first of what has

10
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.960
been called servant songs. There are four of them, according

11
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:43.920
to most commentators, four servant songs glorious descriptions of God

12
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:49.359
choosing and sending a royal servant to accomplish his task.

13
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.880
The other servant songs are Isaiah forty nine one through thirteen,

14
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:02.439
Isaiah fifty four through eleven, and then Isaiah not fifty three,

15
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.599
but that passage should begin three verses earlier. Isaiah fifty

16
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:13.159
two thirteen through all of chapter fifty three. These servant

17
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.480
songs are talking about our Lord Jesus Christ.

18
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.519
As soon as I heard that, as I was driving here,

19
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.439
I stopped. I was like, okay, well, I'm not going

20
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.560
to listen to the rest of this sermon because this

21
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:27.400
is one of the major issues we're getting ready to

22
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.599
deal with. Right. So his argument is that all the

23
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:35.079
servant songs in Isaiah are about whom Jesus. Now, as

24
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:40.000
just anyone reading Isaiah forty through fifty five, what immediately

25
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:44.680
should you be asking, well, if these four servant songs

26
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:48.040
and Isaiah forty through fifty five are about Jesus, what

27
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:49.840
in the world is that going to do for the

28
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.120
people that this is being written to? Because who is

29
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.439
it being written to. Chapter thirty nine five to the

30
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.439
end of chapter thirty nine tells us those who are

31
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:04.480
in babylon captivity. Chapter forty in opens with what words

32
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:10.400
comfort ye, comfort ye my people? Which people Israel? Who's

33
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.680
in captivity? So forty through fifty five is also that

34
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.759
section is known as the Book of Comfort or the

35
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.879
Book of Consolation because it's comfort to those in Babylonian captivity.

36
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.840
If you have four servant songs, four or five servant

37
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:31.719
songs in Isaiah forty through fifty five that are are

38
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:36.199
all about Jesus, then that the question is what is

39
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.840
that going to do for them? Right? They're what seven

40
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.919
hundred years removed from the coming of Christ around seven

41
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.960
hundred years somewhere there. Jesus is not going to do

42
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.840
anything for them at this point in time, right, So

43
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.000
what in the world is going on? And so I

44
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:58.080
am very very very very very very very much challenging

45
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.319
to say all of these are about Jesus because I've

46
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:06.280
just it just makes no sense to me in any capacity.

47
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.360
So we're going to be challenging that. And what we're

48
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.520
going to be doing today is the whole goal today

49
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:17.680
really is chapter forty two observational outline. That's our goal. Isaiah.

50
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.400
Chapter forty two all about observational outline. Now, we last

51
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.039
week we talked about the transition between forty one and

52
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.439
forty two, and what was the big subject of that

53
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:34.479
transitional discussion? What was the big topic of discussion last week?

54
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.479
And are looking at Isaiah forty one through forty two

55
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:43.080
the transition. I just mentioned it. The servant, right, We

56
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.120
talked about all the servant passages, right, and we kept

57
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.159
looking at it, looking at it, looking at it, and

58
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.319
we said, what are our options and how do we

59
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.520
understand who the servant is? And we looked at all

60
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.759
of our different options. Okay, so that's going to become

61
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.080
another major issue here as we go through here, especially

62
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.919
in forty two, because in forty two, everybody, I want

63
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:06.759
everyone to focus on this. There are two servants and

64
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.919
forty two we're gonna look at these two servants and

65
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.719
then so we're gonna do an observational outline. Then we're

66
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.400
gonna compare the two servants. Then we're gonna get into

67
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.360
a whole discussion about the servant issue, and then I'm

68
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.000
going to make my argument that and how we should

69
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:26.360
possibly understand the servant in forty two. Everyone, Last week

70
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.680
I played a brief part of a sermon that immediately

71
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.519
identifies the servant in Isaiah forty two at the very

72
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.040
beginning as being Jesus. And again I reject that in

73
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.000
forty two almost outright. However, I know why, what the

74
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.199
argument's going to be. But we'll talk about all of that.

75
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.399
So everybody ready for an observational outline. This is gonna

76
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.199
take a lot of work. Now, just so that you know,

77
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:54.600
I have probably five different observational outlines that were created

78
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.920
on Isah Isaiah forty two this week. The reason there

79
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.519
are five is me and artificial intelligence could not agree

80
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.000
on how to do. I don't know what happened here?

81
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.319
AI had all kinds of problems and doing an observational

82
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.519
outline on forty two, I don't know why. It had

83
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.839
no problem doing an observational outline from forty to fifty five,

84
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.240
which we covered, had no problem doing an observational outline

85
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:22.240
for chapter forty one specifically, or chapter forty two or

86
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:24.639
forty one, But when it got to forty two, AI

87
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:28.560
was just like, I don't know what happened. It's like

88
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.279
it was just kept malfunctioning and it was having it

89
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.720
was having hallucinations. I don't know what was going on.

90
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:36.839
So we kept going back and forth and back and forth.

91
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.000
So even though this is the one I'm going to

92
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:40.920
go with, I don't even know if I'm truly happy

93
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.040
with this one. But we'll just see if it suits

94
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.560
its purpose. Right, what's the main goal for an observational outline?

95
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:49.839
Just to help us try to see what's here, right

96
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.240
without trying to offer any interpretation. And if AI tries

97
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.439
to give you interpretation, I give it. I think it.

98
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.920
I'm gonna read it's opening paragraph and I already have

99
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.120
issues here, but I got to arguing with it, all right,

100
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.360
So are you ready? Here we go all right, Isaiah.

101
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:09.800
Forty two continues the flow of divine revelation from chapter

102
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.439
forty one by shifting the focus. Now, listen to how

103
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.439
it states this from shifting the focus from God's challenge

104
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.519
to Idols. Now, I got no problem with that. Forty

105
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.800
one ended with the courtroom drama, right, Okay, we remember that,

106
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.680
So it shifts the focus from God's challenge to Idols

107
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:33.399
and his use of Cyrus. Cyrus. We do believe Cyrus

108
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.639
was being mentioned specifically in forty one, right, the man

109
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.800
from the North or the East, right, depending on which passage. Okay,

110
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.399
from his challenge to Idols and his use of Cyrus

111
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:54.279
to a powerful unveiling of God's true servant. Now, why

112
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:59.240
is my issue with this? Because AI is already making

113
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.800
an assumption here, right, that the true sermon is different

114
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:08.079
than whom Cyrus. And there's where I struggle, because if

115
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.920
Cyrus is already being mentioned in forty one, alluded to,

116
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:12.240
and all of a sudden we get to forty two,

117
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.879
how did we all of a sudden just throw Cyrus out?

118
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:17.680
How did Cyrus already get thrown out? Because Cyrus is

119
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:21.079
going to be mentioned again later on, right, at least

120
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:23.959
two more times by name I believe in Isaiah forty

121
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:28.279
through fifty five, So oh, I don't like that. Now.

122
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.920
Is there a shift in focus from his challenge to Idols? Yes,

123
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.079
I don't know if he's moving his focus from Cyrus

124
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.199
to now this other person. That's where I'm gonna be

125
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.800
hesitant here. So and me and AI have long debates

126
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:45.120
over this all week, and you're gonna probably get to

127
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.279
hear me read a large portion of that. All right,

128
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:53.079
So here we go. The chapter moves from the presentation

129
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.800
of the servant. Everyone look at Isaiah forty two, right,

130
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.720
look at verse one, two, three or four. Just skal one, two, three,

131
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:07.879
and four. Would everyone say, that's the presentation of the servant,

132
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.560
all right, that's the presentation to the servant, So it says,

133
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.079
the chapter moves from the presentation of the servant, which

134
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:19.399
we agree with, to a global call to praise to

135
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:25.920
God's warrior like intervention. And finally, listen carefully to these words,

136
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:33.519
a sobering rebuke of Israel the blind and deaf servant.

137
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.440
So everyone find in Isaiah forty two, where it now

138
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:47.159
mentions the second servant that's blind and death verse nineteen.

139
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:51.000
What's the exact wording used in the translation you have

140
00:08:51.080 --> 00:09:02.399
in front of it, in front of you. All right,

141
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:05.399
So there's referred to as servant, and it's blind and deaf,

142
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.039
so we'll call this the blind and deaf servant, right,

143
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.080
very different than the servant and verses one through four?

144
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.519
Is it not? All right? So just say that? So

145
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:18.879
forty two could be the chapter of two servants. Now

146
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:24.279
Ai is already AI identifies this servant as whom AI

147
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.240
identifies the second servant as whom Israel. Do you see

148
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:44.480
anything in the text that identifies it as Israel? Okay?

149
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:50.879
All right, that's something we'll have to look out for, right,

150
00:09:51.320 --> 00:10:02.559
But speaking to someone someone, okay, Right, So maybe there's

151
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.159
some things that would help us come to that conclusion.

152
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.759
I just didn't like how Ai was already throwing it

153
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:10.600
out there, because it's almost to me becoming a little

154
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:13.440
too interpretive. Right to me, what should be said? We

155
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.000
have the servant and one through four that seems to

156
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.279
be we can pick some words to describe it, and

157
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.639
then we have the blind and death servant in nineteen.

158
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:23.159
I'm not going to identify yet who they are. Does

159
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:28.679
that make sense? You see where I'm kind of going here,

160
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:33.000
but Ai wanted to immediately identify the second one as Israel.

161
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.840
So the structure of forty two then contrasts the faithful

162
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:43.559
servant who brings justice with the unfaithful servant, preparing the

163
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.799
way for the later servant songs. Now, I changed some

164
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.840
words because AI wanted to say. They didn't want Ai

165
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:53.360
did not want to call it the unfaithful servant. They

166
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:56.080
wanted to call it unfaithful Israel. But I thought that

167
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.720
was too interpretive. Right, I still think we should just

168
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.320
say we could state it this way Isaiah forty two.

169
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.559
The first part gives us can we call it the

170
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:09.919
faithful servant? What do you think? Do you think the

171
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:12.679
first servant? Can we call it faithful? What would be

172
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.200
a descriptive word that we could use that's coming from

173
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:21.720
the text. Look at verses one through four. God's chosen servant? Okay?

174
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:25.120
Is that a better word than faithful? Or? Am my

175
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.960
Faithful's too much of an assumption? Is it not? Or

176
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:33.960
shall not fail? Okay? My successful servant, God's successful servant

177
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:37.919
is chosen servant. Alright, you could pick a word. And

178
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.639
then the second servant is the blind and deaf servant?

179
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:44.200
All right, that's the way I would like to describe them. Now,

180
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:48.480
all right? Is that fair? Is that fair? Because we, well, again, observation,

181
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:50.399
what do we want to do? We just want to

182
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:51.960
see what's in the text. We don't want to start

183
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.320
imposing anything on the text. Why am I so like

184
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.759
adamant about that? Because ninety nine percent of everything that

185
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:02.600
has happens in American Christianity and sermon after sermony is

186
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:06.000
everyone reading something into the text. And the only way

187
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:08.879
to combat that is what spend all of the time

188
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:12.519
doing the observational work. So the minute someone introduces something

189
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:14.840
into the text, what can you do? You'll immediately know

190
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:17.519
whoa wha wha, Wait a minute. The text doesn't say

191
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:20.600
that the text because if you sit in church, you're

192
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:22.960
constantly told what's in the text, even though it's not

193
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:26.039
really there, And you're told what's there, then they read

194
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:27.600
it from it and you're like, well, of course, well

195
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.080
that makes sense. Well, because someone just told you what's there,

196
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.519
you can't That's not the way we do Bible study, right.

197
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.159
The way you do Bible study is observing the text.

198
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.960
So we're just gonna call this Isaiah forty two, The

199
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.559
Tell of Two Servants, The chosen one the well, however

200
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.159
you would like to describe the first one, and the

201
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:49.159
second one is easy to describe. The blind and death fair,

202
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.879
all right? And then this prepares the way for the

203
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:58.240
later servants songs. So that's now, that's important, right. If

204
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.960
the later sermon song really are kind of being set

205
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:05.240
up with Isaiah forty two, then Isaiah forty two is

206
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:10.240
it's critical hermeneutically speaking, because if we're gonna interpret the

207
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:13.960
later sermons songs somehow based off this, we've got to

208
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.879
get this one down perfectly, right? Does that make sense?

209
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.840
I hope? So? All right, So let's break it down

210
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.600
section number one. If you look at your Bible, some

211
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:28.919
of your bibles break it down into sections. Does any

212
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:34.639
of your bibles break down the first section one through four?

213
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:37.440
Everyone breaks it down my Bible? Does? I think all

214
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.200
of them do? All? Right? Now, again, when you break

215
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:43.000
them down into sections, remember that's people doing that because

216
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.960
the original was all just one you run together. So

217
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.879
but almost everyone says the first section is one through four.

218
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:58.759
So what should we call the first section? Okay? Right, well,

219
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:01.360
what's the one thing we should not call the first section?

220
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.000
We should not say anything about Jesus in this first section. Okay,

221
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:08.639
even though every I know I already hear. Look the

222
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:12.480
people listening online, just put down your phone, stop typing.

223
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:14.279
I already know they're gonna try to send me across

224
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.480
reference to the Book of Matthew. We're gonna get there.

225
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.279
I'm not ignoring that. I know what's where you're going.

226
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:23.440
But we'll get there. Right. We're doing observational work, right.

227
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:25.200
We don't go run somewhere else and read it back

228
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.960
into the text. We're just observing what's here. I'm gonna

229
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.440
call forty two one through four, and AI agreed with me. Well,

230
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:34.759
me and AI had some disagreement here the presentation of

231
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:38.440
the servant A I wanted to add a little extra.

232
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:41.519
I don't really want to the presentation of the servant

233
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.600
forty two one through four, or you could say the

234
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.279
introduction of the servant or introduction to the servant. Does

235
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:50.039
that make sense, however you would like to write it? Right?

236
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.600
Everyone can see that. Right now, I'm gonna break AI

237
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.120
did broke this down into three parts. Remember that's typically

238
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.679
how AI likes to do things. Break it down into

239
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:04.519
three sections. Right, So here's how it breaks it down.

240
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.120
So the presentation of the servant or the introduction to

241
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:11.720
the servant. Verses one through four, and then there's one

242
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:15.360
through four is broken into three parts. Verse one, God's

243
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.519
now this, see, this is why Ai, me and Ai

244
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:21.159
again went back and forth. I want to call it

245
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:23.559
the introduction of the servant. It wants to call it

246
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:25.600
the presentation of the servant. And the reason it wanted

247
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:27.840
to call it the presentation of the servant is the

248
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:32.159
very first part, this first subpoint. It wants to call

249
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:35.399
this God's introduction of his servant, which is verse one.

250
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.039
So it wants to give the total section called the

251
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.080
presentation of the servant because the first sub point is

252
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:47.039
God's introduction of his servant. So you can see, and

253
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:49.600
that's okay, however you would like to word it all right,

254
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:53.080
So verse one is God's introduction of his servant. So

255
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:56.320
let's look at verse one. What do we see? Behold

256
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.159
my servant. You can see why you want to call

257
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:02.200
that the presentation or the reduction. Right, So they're just

258
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:06.240
drawing a distinction in words presentation because the very first

259
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:10.840
sub point is introduction. Either way, behold my servant, right,

260
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:16.000
whom I uphold mine elect and whom my soul delighteth

261
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.840
I have put my spirit upon him. He shall bring

262
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:24.279
forth judgment to the gentiles. Right, everybody see this, So

263
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:28.759
this is God's introduction of his servant. Really three things

264
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:32.519
we need to see here about this introduction. Behold my servant,

265
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:36.240
whom I uphold, my chosen, and who my soul delights

266
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:41.080
depending on your translation, right, Basically it wants us to

267
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:46.679
see in this introduction this is whose servant. God's servant,

268
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:52.879
and he does what he upholds, He has chosen and

269
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:58.120
he delights in. He upholds this person. He has chosen

270
00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:05.559
this person, and he delights in this person. Usually yes,

271
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.480
all you have to I will put my spirit upon him. Yes,

272
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.640
or I have right I have is I think the

273
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.079
king James says I have the NIV I think, says

274
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.279
I will. Now the wine is the and I and

275
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:22.160
now you see this becomes very This is where we

276
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.000
get a lot can happen here. Right. If it's I will,

277
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:30.079
then you're looking for what something future. If I have,

278
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:42.759
then it's someone who's already. That's that's big. That's really big, right,

279
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:47.799
true at the time it was written, right, that's true.

280
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:52.400
Good point. So then all right, I was thinking, well,

281
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.519
at the time and the flow of the book. Cyrus

282
00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:59.079
has already mentioned, but you're right this has been written

283
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.400
before that they even go into captivity. So yeah, all right,

284
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:14.079
that doesn't that's a good point. Yeah, exactly right before four. Yeah,

285
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:24.160
so then I will can work either way, right, and

286
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:27.960
the and the current historical setting, right, Okay, that's that's

287
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:29.559
a good point though. I'm glad Sarah just brought that

288
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.480
up because I was like, ooh, I have there makes

289
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:34.480
but it doesn't really have the same impact as I

290
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:38.240
thought based on that. All right, So breaking this introduction down,

291
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:41.079
behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, and whom

292
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:46.319
my soul delights. God announces his servant using language of support, election,

293
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:49.799
and delight. Can we agree with that? And the servant

294
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:54.519
is spirit empowered and will bring justice to the nations,

295
00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:56.960
is how Ai likes to say it. The King James

296
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.799
says to the Gentiles, as the NIV have it to

297
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.200
the nations. I think when you say the Gentiles, you're

298
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.160
just referring to all the other nations other than Israel, right,

299
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:11.480
and that would be the Gentiles, So that fits either way. Okay,

300
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.559
So basically, the introduction of the servant Hey, behold my servant,

301
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.799
whom I uphold, my chosen, whom my soul delights. God

302
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.079
announced this servant using language of support, election, and delight.

303
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:25.920
And the servant is spirit empowered and will bring justice

304
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:30.160
to the nations. And we talked about all of that

305
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:34.519
last week, and at least we considered who that can

306
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:36.119
apply to. We're not going to go there now for

307
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:39.839
the observational outline, but we will talk about it in

308
00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:42.440
great detail at some point. Right, So there's the first part,

309
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:45.559
verse one, God's introduction. Right, this is in the section

310
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.000
the presentation of the Servant, which just goes verses one

311
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:52.279
through four. First sub point God's introduction verse one, verses

312
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:55.559
two through three is the second subpoint. What do we

313
00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:59.839
see in verses two through three? We read it his voice.

314
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.599
He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his

315
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:06.359
voice to be heard in the street. A bruised read

316
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:09.720
shall he not break, And the smoking flax shall he

317
00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:14.400
not quench. He shall bring forth judgment unto truth. What

318
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:16.000
do we see in verses two through four?

319
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:17.920
Do what?

320
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:22.640
Okay, we'll call it his character, but that's good. His character.

321
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:26.160
We see the servant's gentle character. Do we want to

322
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.480
add that meek character. All right, and we're gonna break

323
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:32.880
this down, all right, So we have the first up

324
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:35.960
point was God's introduction of a servant verse one. Second

325
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:39.480
the servant's character Versus two through three. He will not

326
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:44.920
cry aloud a bruise read, he will not break this

327
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:51.000
described as a quiet, non violent, and deeply compassionate individual.

328
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:56.480
He brings justice without crushing the week or extinguishing the feint.

329
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:02.599
That's the way this person is being described. Everybody got that,

330
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:06.720
all right? The third section, obviously, then there's only one

331
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:09.640
verse left is verse four. What should we call this?

332
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.720
He shall not fail nor be discouraged till he have

333
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:18.359
set judgment in the earth, and the aisles shall wait

334
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:26.240
for his law. All right, persistence? How about the servant's perseverance?

335
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:31.119
Do you like that? We could add perseverance and his

336
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:35.880
global mission because it sounds more global. But okay, he

337
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:38.440
will not grow faint or be discouraged until you have

338
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:43.559
established justice. His law instruction will reach the distant coast lands.

339
00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:47.720
And justice is emphasized three times and verses one through

340
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:52.079
four justice or judgment. I think the idea is mentioned

341
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:58.880
multiple times here. All right. So the first thing is

342
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:02.839
the presentation of the serf three parts, the introduction of

343
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:06.839
that servant, the servant's character, and the servant's perseverance and mission.

344
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.039
I think we have that. Does that sound pretty good? Everybody?

345
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:14.960
Okay with that? Now, what did we not do? We

346
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:19.000
did not try to identify, because to identify would be

347
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.680
to interpret. We're not gonna do that yet. Okay. Now,

348
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:25.640
I understand if you go to any church anywhere in

349
00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:28.079
America on any given Sunday and they say open your

350
00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:30.519
Bibles to isaamh forty two, they don't even I mean,

351
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:32.640
we just heard the beginning of that sermon. Hey, didn't

352
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.920
even get into the sermon, and already he told everyone

353
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:39.640
who was about right, it's about Jesus. Everyone's gonna tell

354
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:41.279
you it's about Jesus. If you go to a church

355
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:43.720
and say that's not Jesus, you're gonna be viewed as

356
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:48.599
possibly a heretic. Okay, everyone's gonna tell you that. Okay.

357
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:54.559
My issue is, if that's Jesus, then what does that

358
00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:58.039
bring any comfort to them? Hey? Someone, and just let's

359
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:00.279
just interpret it that way. Soone by the Him and

360
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:02.200
Jesus is gonna show up and do all of this.

361
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.440
We're gonna all be dead. Okay, yeah, you have five

362
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:10.240
hundred years or so from this point that he's gonna

363
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:12.640
show up and do this. Well, great, that's great. My

364
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:15.759
great great great great great great great grandkids can know.

365
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.519
And even when he shows up, he doesn't really do

366
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:21.720
all of this in a physical way. Even then, does

367
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:25.559
he Does he do all those things in his first coming? No,

368
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:37.480
So that means it hasn't even happened yet. Go ahead, Oh,

369
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:40.799
it may have implications to both, but I'm just saying

370
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:46.839
in this context, if it's about Jesus and and and

371
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:49.240
even if you apply this to Jesus, you can't really

372
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:51.200
get mad at the Jews when Jesus shows up and

373
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:56.039
they're like, okay, get rid of the Romans, establish your law.

374
00:23:57.640 --> 00:23:59.920
Do it. Well, he didn't. Well, if you're not going

375
00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:01.720
to do it, then get rid of you, because you're

376
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:04.319
not the person you can see why then if they

377
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:08.200
would have understood that to be so either way, it

378
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:10.839
just makes no sense because Jesus didn't even do that

379
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:13.200
in his first coming, So, meaning these words would have

380
00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:16.680
given been given all of those years ago and still

381
00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:19.880
they have not occurred. It just for a section that's

382
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.880
supposed to be comforting people to give them words that

383
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.880
have not yet even happened today. That's not even a

384
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.799
comfort to Israel today. So like you know, like I,

385
00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:33.480
that's where I struggle. But for now we're not going

386
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:38.160
to identify it. Right you ready? Now the next section, right,

387
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:40.400
the next major section goes from versus. Where do you

388
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:45.839
think your Bible's probably break it down? Oh, five to sixteen,

389
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:49.720
your breaks your breaks it way down. Okay, five to

390
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:51.839
nine is where most goes, all right, So we're going

391
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:54.480
to break it down five through nine. Right? What should

392
00:24:54.519 --> 00:25:00.319
we call five through nine to Summari or skim it? Oh?

393
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:14.039
His call? Okay, Thus says the Lord God, he that

394
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:18.440
created the heavens and stretched them out, He that spread

395
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:20.960
forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it,

396
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:23.319
He that giveth breath and to the people upon it,

397
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:26.119
and spirit to them that walk therein. I the Lord

398
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:34.039
have called thee and righteousness. Who's the the Okay? Why

399
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:40.160
would you assume it's the servant? There we go, I

400
00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:42.400
need I see someone to say it the correct way.

401
00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:44.680
You get to the antecedent? And who do you go back? Okay?

402
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:48.640
All of that wonderful stuff. So this is how many Now,

403
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:52.440
just so you know not everyone's going to agree on this,

404
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:57.839
because look what my Bible does. Now, my Bible says,

405
00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:07.799
this is God's call calling is and righteousness. Okay, so yeah,

406
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:10.599
I'm like, where did the Bible get this? Now? Just

407
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:14.839
note all the This is what makes Bible study maddening.

408
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:17.799
You're just sitting in a pew. You go to work

409
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:20.240
Monday through Friday, you do your life, you come, you

410
00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:22.799
open your Bible to read, and you're trying to figure

411
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:25.799
all of this out. And your Bible immediately labels this

412
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:29.200
section God calling Israel. Wait a minute, Wait a minute.

413
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:31.799
We just went from a servant now we're talking about Israel.

414
00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:34.920
What just happened? So you're supposed to figure this out.

415
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:38.599
This is where the Protestant idea that the Bible is

416
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:42.039
simple and can be basically understood by anyone drives me

417
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:47.039
mad a little bit, right because I don't even agree

418
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:50.640
with this heading in my Bible. Ai doesn't agree with

419
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:54.279
the heading in my Bible, right because Ai and I

420
00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:57.559
know this is where we did agree. We both agreed.

421
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:03.640
This seems to be God's commissioning of the servant. This

422
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:07.279
seems to be him commissioning or calling the servant whom

423
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.119
he just introduced. If you just spent verses one through

424
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:16.480
four introducing the servant, right then, if you're going to

425
00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:19.480
immediately start in five through nine, it sounds like you're

426
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:21.880
gonna still be talking about that sermon unless there's a

427
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:27.880
clear break. I think it's the servant being called or commissioned.

428
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:30.279
Who's missioned and verses one through four. I'm not saying

429
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:32.920
who that servant is, but I think this has to

430
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:37.640
be that servant. That's my argument. All right, I the

431
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:41.160
Lord have called Thee and righteousness, I will hold thine hand.

432
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:44.519
I will keep THEE and give thee A give THEE

433
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:47.640
for a covenant of the people, for a light of

434
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:54.160
the gentiles. Right, So there, I think it goes back

435
00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:59.240
to the servant. I mean just from a reading comprehension,

436
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:01.200
that's what you were doing. Like if you were to

437
00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:04.160
do a reading comprehension test, how would you probably write

438
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:06.359
the questions, Sarah? If you were doing a reading comprehension

439
00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:12.480
test about who's being spoken of in verse six, you

440
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:16.519
would probably expect your students to do what to look

441
00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:21.359
back to look before it, which would then be servant.

442
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:25.119
So if if six, if all of a sudden, verse

443
00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:27.559
six is referring to Israel, then that would mean the

444
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:33.559
servant in verse one, would it is whom Israel? Well,

445
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:40.000
that's no. So we talked about this last week. Right,

446
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:43.599
then we have like three options of identifying whenever we

447
00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:47.119
see the word servant. What were three options last week

448
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:50.079
that Israel can refer I'm sorry, I just gave it

449
00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:59.000
the answer, servant can refer to Israel, Sorrus, or possibly Jesus. Right,

450
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:02.279
So there's no way I'm gonna go back to forty

451
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.039
two and say that that's reverencing forty two to one

452
00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:07.640
through four and say that's Israel. That makes literally no

453
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:11.720
sense to me none. So I'm going to say six

454
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:16.480
is the same servant being commissioned, all right, and this

455
00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:19.319
goes through five through nine. Now AI is gonna break

456
00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:21.759
five through now and nine down into how many parts?

457
00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:26.920
Three because that's what it always does almost always. Okay,

458
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:30.519
five through nine, So the first section is five. What

459
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:32.400
do you see in verse five? What do you think

460
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:40.240
we should call this sub section? What's say emphasis in five?

461
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:46.240
He's the creator? Right? So the way this is the

462
00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:51.920
way AI says it, the Creator God speaks. Does that

463
00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:57.759
seem fair? Because that starts with Thus saith God, the Lord,

464
00:29:58.039 --> 00:30:03.880
he that created. So everyone see that. So, thus says God,

465
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:06.759
the Lord who created the heavens. God's authority as creator

466
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:10.759
undergirds the servant's mission. He gives breath and spirit, his

467
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:15.079
power and sovereignty affirmed. So basically, the idea is God's

468
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:18.720
getting ready to commission this servant whom he identified or

469
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:21.680
introduced in verses one through four. But he's the one

470
00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:26.319
doing it, and he's emphasizing his authority to call this servant,

471
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.640
to choose this servant, to commission this servant, and to

472
00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:34.359
empower this servant. This servant is being utilized, commissioned, and

473
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:38.480
strengthened by whom God, the creator of heaven and earth.

474
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:45.039
So meaning that the servant's mission will want. The servant's

475
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:49.319
mission will succeed because God, the creator of the universe,

476
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:52.519
is the one calling and commissioning him to do something.

477
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:56.279
Does that make sense all right? So the creator, God

478
00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:59.200
speaks in verse five, what happens in verses six through seven,

479
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:03.319
I have called the Lord. I have I the Lord

480
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:06.559
have called THEE in righteousness, and will hold thine hand,

481
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:09.440
will keep THEE, will give THEE for a covenant of

482
00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:11.839
the people, for a light of the gentiles. Now please

483
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.519
note all these things God is going to do. I will,

484
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.880
I will, God is going to do these things. Verse

485
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:22.319
five is significant because who's the God who's doing these things?

486
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.720
Is the creator of heaven and earth. Right, So verse

487
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:32.799
six through seven is the servant's divine call and roll right.

488
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:36.240
Verse five is the creator God speaks. Verse six through

489
00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:39.720
seven is the servant's divine call. I have called you

490
00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:44.319
in righteousness. I will give you as a covenant the servant.

491
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:47.240
Now look what Ai says here. Okay, now wait, oh,

492
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:51.400
we got to stop here. I will, I will, and

493
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:54.519
I will give thee for a covenant of the people.

494
00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:02.039
Who's the people? Right? If the servant is given as

495
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:04.640
a covenant of the people, then the servant can't be Israel.

496
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:10.559
Everybody see that. If the servant is given as a

497
00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:13.119
covenant of the people, and the people is Israel, then

498
00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:16.480
the servant in Israel must be seen as separate. Why

499
00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:19.640
does my Bible and its headline are in the subject

500
00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.480
line here and seem to imply that the servant here

501
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.880
is Israel. It makes no sense just from a reading

502
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:28.880
comprehension perspective. Do you agree with that there? Or am

503
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:32.519
I stating that correctly or incorrectly, all right, because I

504
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:35.839
want to be Look, this gets very nuanced here, and

505
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:37.599
I want to make sure I'm not in any way

506
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:40.559
messing up in basic reading rules or grammar rules or

507
00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:44.720
anything there. Okay, all right, I want to make sure

508
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:46.759
that I'm because I got no problem being corrected here,

509
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:49.079
because we want to get this right. Okay, all right,

510
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:52.880
So and give thee a covenant of the people for

511
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:55.000
a light of the gentile. So the servant is a

512
00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:58.680
covenant to Israel and a light to the nations, two

513
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:03.720
separate functions. To Israel, he's a covenant for them. To

514
00:33:03.799 --> 00:33:06.400
the gentiles, he is going to serve as a light,

515
00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:19.160
two separate things. Right. What happens in verse seven to

516
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:21.960
open the blind eyes to bring out the prisoners from

517
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:24.839
the prison and them that sit in darkness out of

518
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:28.200
the prison's house, now the blind eyes. If he's a

519
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:31.920
covenant to Israel, this, I'm just gonna say, the mission

520
00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:36.240
here includes opening blind eyes and freeing captives. That's his

521
00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:43.559
mission right now. Almost inevitably, preachers will take verse seven

522
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:47.119
about opening blind eyes. I've already listened to what three

523
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:50.079
sermons that do this, and immediately go to Jesus and

524
00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:52.440
John nine when he heals the blind man, and you're like,

525
00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:58.119
what just happened here? How did we Jesus healing a

526
00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:01.119
blind man and John nine is no comfort to the

527
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:07.240
people sitting in Babylonian captivity. It makes no sense to

528
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:10.880
I don't understand preachers. I don't understand preachers. I don't

529
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:14.119
get it, like I don't. You could have You could

530
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:16.880
have one hundred preachers, and I would not fit in

531
00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:18.639
in any way, shape or form, because I would just

532
00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:21.800
meet looking at him like what this is the old? Hey,

533
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:25.559
we go to church. What's the answer to everything? Jesus not?

534
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:28.639
My answer is wait a minute, who are the blind?

535
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:31.719
And who are the ones in captivity? Well? The one

536
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:37.000
in captivity be should be simple Judah, right, the blind? Well,

537
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:38.719
if we go back, is that a reference to the

538
00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:41.280
gentiles because he's going to be a what to the gentiles?

539
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:45.559
A light? Okay? How does that work? All? I don't know.

540
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:47.880
We'll have to get into discussion here. We're trying not

541
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:51.320
to do too much interpretation, all right. So this section

542
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:54.000
is called the Lord's Commissioning of a Servant. The first

543
00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:56.639
part is the creator God speaks in verse five for

544
00:34:56.760 --> 00:35:01.159
six through seven is what the servants divine his role?

545
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:03.639
All right, Now, what do we have in verse eight

546
00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:14.199
and nine the third section? What I'm in the verse

547
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:19.760
eight and nine, I am the Lord. That is my

548
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:22.480
name and my glory. I will not give to another,

549
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:25.960
neither my praise to graven images. Behold, the former things

550
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:28.599
are come to pass, and new things do I declare

551
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:36.079
before they spring forth? I tell you of them. It's

552
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:39.920
a reminder. He's once again doing what here? All right, Well,

553
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:45.079
he's once again he's condemning idolatry, he's establishing he gets

554
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:48.079
the glory, and he's just saying new, something new is

555
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:52.280
about the happeners happening. Okay, So I don't know what

556
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:55.719
to do with this. When the section, I'm just gonna

557
00:35:55.760 --> 00:36:00.000
call this God's glory and prophetic power because he's gonna

558
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:02.599
speak of those things which are to come. Right, So

559
00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:06.000
I'm just gonna say God's exclusive glory or God's glory

560
00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:09.480
and God's prophetic power. This is verse eight through nine.

561
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:10.920
I know that's not a great time. I don't know

562
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:24.440
what to call this section. Do what? Okay? All right,

563
00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:29.880
that's that's good. You could go with that, right, you could.

564
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:32.519
I don't have a good idea here. I'm just gonna

565
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:34.239
be I didn't know. I had no clue, I had

566
00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:36.320
no idea. I'm like, I don't I don't know what.

567
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:46.760
I don't know. God's glory and the authentic, the authenticy, Well, yeah, authenticity,

568
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:52.559
maybe I don't know. U. He's a way to demonstrate

569
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.199
the real the truthfulness of it. I don't know how

570
00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:56.800
you would want to go with it, but you can

571
00:36:57.280 --> 00:36:59.320
just Verse eight and nine is kind of its own section.

572
00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:01.599
So if we break it down verse eight and nine,

573
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:05.800
I am the Lord, obviously, that's the significance thing, right,

574
00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:10.199
and that and and that is my name and my glory.

575
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:13.039
I will not give to another, neither my praise to

576
00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:18.880
graven images. Yeah, well, it seems like he's kind of

577
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:22.760
and it's kind of weird when you read verse eight, right,

578
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:25.320
because verse one two seven has been all about basically

579
00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:30.000
whom the servant right, and so all all of a sudden,

580
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:34.039
it's almost like God is making sure that hey, don't

581
00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:38.519
be don't put your focus or your faith and the

582
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:42.599
servant put it in me. Do you kind of see

583
00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:51.840
a distinction here that? Does that seem fair? Because what

584
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:57.760
does he immediately do in verse eight, I am the Lord.

585
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:06.119
That is my name. Yeah, I am. It's me self,

586
00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:10.639
existing one focus on me, and I don't give my

587
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:14.519
name to anybody. That seemingly to imply I'm not giving

588
00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:19.280
my name to whom the servant because he mentions, he mentions,

589
00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:23.880
I'm not gonna give my name to another, neither my

590
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:28.599
praise to graven images. Alright, I'm sorry. I want to

591
00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:31.639
give my glory. I will not give to another. Thank you,

592
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:33.800
thank you. I want to give my glory to another.

593
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:37.159
So I'm not gonna give my glory to this servant.

594
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:41.320
And I'm not gonna give no prayer. What's the exact words,

595
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:47.119
No my praise or my praise to graven images. So

596
00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:49.559
I'm not gonna give my glory to another and no

597
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:54.599
praise to graven images. Like it seems just a weird

598
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:57.880
thing to say, but to me in context, it makes

599
00:38:57.880 --> 00:39:01.039
some sense, right, because well, were the two So what

600
00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:03.800
could be two temptations that could be facing those in

601
00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:09.199
Babylonian captivity. We've already established one. Oh, well, first about

602
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:11.639
the idols, right, he re mentions the idols. We talked

603
00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:13.400
about that over and over that could be drawn to

604
00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:16.920
these idols drawn to this idolatry. But what else, sir,

605
00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:21.639
Whoever the servant is, they'll start worship with the servant. Now,

606
00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:24.840
if this is a way to warn them, hey, don't

607
00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:27.760
do that to the servant, then that immediately destroys the

608
00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:35.920
idea that the servant is whom Like this verse, this verse,

609
00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:39.360
I'm gonna argue that, at least so far in the book,

610
00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:45.119
that verse verse eight maybe the most significant verse up

611
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:49.719
to this point, because that's a weird verse to put

612
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:53.119
in there. Right after all of this talk about the servant,

613
00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:56.440
It's almost immediately God is trying to establish I am

614
00:39:56.519 --> 00:40:00.239
greater than the servant. Don't focus on the servant, folks

615
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:02.719
on me. In fact, even before that day, is he

616
00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:06.119
not kind of already trying to establish that he is

617
00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:13.360
the one doing all of this. Yeah, I'm the Lord.

618
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:17.599
I created the heavens and the earth. Right he does

619
00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:22.079
that back in verse five, Thus says the God, the Lord.

620
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:25.599
There's a capital l O r D again, right, the

621
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:29.320
self existent Jehovah yahweh depending how we say it. Right,

622
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:34.320
he that created the heavens and stretched them out. And

623
00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:39.920
verse five, he once again is establishing me me. Now,

624
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:42.480
I'm gonna do this with this servant, But it's about me.

625
00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:45.159
And then what does he doing? Immediately in verse eight,

626
00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:50.639
I'm the Lord. That is my name and my glory.

627
00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:53.360
I'm not gonna give to another, neither my praise to

628
00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:57.280
graven images. It seems to be doubling down on this concept.

629
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:06.840
That's man. That Oh, if that's what's happening here, then

630
00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:10.480
clearly the servant is not Jesus. Not in this context.

631
00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:14.599
There's no way because if it's Jesus and he Jesus,

632
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:19.639
he has the same glory. You know, he's one with

633
00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:24.119
the Father. So I mean, like you do, I yeah,

634
00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:28.599
his creator exactly right, all right? So that one is

635
00:41:29.159 --> 00:41:31.239
I don't know. And then what happens at the end

636
00:41:31.239 --> 00:41:35.679
of that verse or nine? Behold, the former things are

637
00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:37.920
come to pass? What is the former things in the

638
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:43.079
context their captivity has come to an end? And what's

639
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:51.719
the next part? And new things do I declare before

640
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:54.719
they spring forth? I tell you of them, I tell

641
00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:59.719
who I think this is. I tell Israel of the

642
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:02.559
I'm gonna tell you what's coming to pass. That's the

643
00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:06.119
whole point of this section. Right now. Let me make

644
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:11.960
it very you do you know how man, how many

645
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:17.280
pastors take this section and say God is always gonna

646
00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:23.840
let us know what's coming in the future, that this

647
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:27.800
is not about us. It's not a promise that God

648
00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:31.400
is gonna tell you or me. You know how many

649
00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:35.000
pastors say this God is doing a new thing is

650
00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:39.239
You know how many devotionals that are for January the

651
00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:42.920
first well or December the thirty first will quote things

652
00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:45.239
from Isaiah to talk about doing a new thing and

653
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:48.119
say God's going to do a new thing in twenty

654
00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:52.039
twenty five. When us, when you go to church and

655
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:54.039
you hear that, just get up and leave the church.

656
00:42:54.199 --> 00:42:56.880
You'd be better going to the local bar. Okay, there's

657
00:42:56.920 --> 00:42:58.639
no point in going to church when they're saying that

658
00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:00.559
kind of stuff. This is not about God doing a

659
00:43:00.599 --> 00:43:02.599
new thing for you, is not about God doing a

660
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:04.880
new thing for me. It's not about God telling me.

661
00:43:05.199 --> 00:43:08.039
It's about God doing a new thing for whom. For

662
00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:10.800
those in Babylonian captivity, and what is going to be

663
00:43:10.880 --> 00:43:14.599
that new thing. God is going to raise up a

664
00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:21.559
pagan king that's going to set them free and allow them.

665
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:23.960
He's doing more than just saying you can go back.

666
00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:27.920
He prepares the way, He gives them what they need,

667
00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:31.119
and he gives a decree that they can go back

668
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:35.199
and rebuild not only Jerusalem but the Temple. That's a

669
00:43:35.239 --> 00:43:43.199
new thing, considering them been in captivity for seventy stinking years. Ah,

670
00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:47.239
it's so maddening to see how churches handle this. There's

671
00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:51.639
nothing complicated about that part, all right? So do we

672
00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:52.039
have that?

673
00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:53.239
All right?

674
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:56.760
And I'm sorry that that last section, I don't know

675
00:43:56.760 --> 00:43:59.400
what to call it other than God's glory. He's a

676
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:05.039
prophetic power or he's you know, I don't know. I

677
00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:06.679
don't know what to do with that, but you can

678
00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:08.639
do whatever you want. So there we go. So we've

679
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:12.519
got the major sections are first the presentation or the

680
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:15.559
presentation of the servant as the verses one through four.

681
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:18.440
We broke that down into three parts. Then the Lord's

682
00:44:18.440 --> 00:44:21.679
commissioning of the servant verses five through nine, the Creator

683
00:44:21.719 --> 00:44:25.599
God speaks, the servant's divine call, and then the Lord's

684
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:29.000
glory and prophetic power. All right. That brings us to

685
00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:31.039
the next section, which goes from where to where?

686
00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:42.199
All right?

687
00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:48.599
Okay, mine breaks it to ten to twelve. Ten to twelve, Yeah,

688
00:44:48.679 --> 00:44:52.199
that's where. And AI liked the ten to twelve argument.

689
00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:57.159
I didn't like any of the others, right, So we're

690
00:44:57.159 --> 00:44:59.760
gonna go with the ten to twelve right now, Remember

691
00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:02.039
all how we break it down is not near as

692
00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:05.800
important as simply what what's there? Just making sure we

693
00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:09.039
know what's there. The breaking it down sometimes can be arbitrary,

694
00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:12.840
and we can always argue, well, this fits to this,

695
00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:15.519
this fits to this. The main thing is by doing

696
00:45:15.559 --> 00:45:17.400
all of that arguing and trying to figure out what

697
00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:20.639
are we doing, we're becoming more familiar with what's there.

698
00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:22.920
That's the goal of this, all right. The goal is

699
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:25.679
not whether we get the outline perfectly or imperfectly. The

700
00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:27.760
key is, by the time we're done doing the outline,

701
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:30.679
what do we know everything that's in the chapter, so

702
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:33.199
that from the next three, four, five weeks or whatever

703
00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:35.320
it takes to get through forty two when I ask

704
00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:37.920
review questions, you're all experts because you know what's there.

705
00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:40.760
That's the goal, right, everybody got it? Now? What do

706
00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:47.400
we call ten through twelve a call to a song?

707
00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:51.039
That's good? Did you come up with that? That's pretty good?

708
00:45:51.079 --> 00:45:54.599
All right? Well, look at the very first words verse ten,

709
00:45:56.280 --> 00:45:59.280
singing to the Lord a new song and its praise

710
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:02.000
from the end of the earth, yay that go down

711
00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:04.360
to the sea and all that is therein the isles,

712
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:07.239
and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities

713
00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:10.639
therefore lift up their voice. The village that kid are

714
00:46:10.920 --> 00:46:13.840
doth in habit, Let the inhabitants of the rock seeing,

715
00:46:14.039 --> 00:46:16.280
let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let

716
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:19.079
them give glory into the Lord and declare his praise

717
00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:22.400
in the islands. Now, I'm just gonna be honest, from

718
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:24.800
reading this, this seems like what in the world is

719
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:27.800
just what's happening here? And it is that I seem

720
00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:30.480
a little like what's going on? I'm still trying to

721
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:32.239
figure out who the sermon is. The next thing, you know,

722
00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:36.880
everyone's having a concert like what happened? Right? So I

723
00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:44.320
Sarah called it, what again? Call to a song? I

724
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:46.960
like it. I'm gonna go with what. I'm gonna go

725
00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:57.039
with that, A call to a song? Yeah, this new

726
00:46:57.079 --> 00:46:59.360
thing is what they're supposed to be praying. Yeah, clearly,

727
00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:01.639
I guess it just seems weird to me because I'm

728
00:47:01.639 --> 00:47:04.480
trying to figure out, Wait a minute, okay, who's the servant? Wait,

729
00:47:04.519 --> 00:47:06.760
what's going on? And then all of a sudden. It's

730
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:09.440
as Sarah says, I call to a song, And I

731
00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:11.280
got no problem saying that I call to a song

732
00:47:11.480 --> 00:47:13.719
or a call to praise, if someone would like to

733
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:15.679
put it that way, all right, but it's a call.

734
00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:19.000
This goes from ten through twelve, and we're this time though,

735
00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:21.639
we're not gonna break it into three parts. Aren't gonna

736
00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:25.000
break it into two parts? Right? So the first part

737
00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:28.920
verse ten, what do we want to call with verse ten?

738
00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:32.480
I'm gonna say a new song for the whole earth

739
00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:39.920
because it says a new song, and the other earth

740
00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:42.400
you go, is that I'm not very creative. All right,

741
00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:44.440
there we go, all right, a new song for the

742
00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:48.719
whole earth? Verse ten. Right, So sing the Lord a

743
00:47:48.760 --> 00:47:50.719
new song from the end of the earth. The newness

744
00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:53.719
of the song corresponds to the new thing God is doing.

745
00:47:53.800 --> 00:47:58.320
There you go, Stephen, it's a new song for a

746
00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:02.840
new thing, all right, inclusion of the sea, coastlands, and

747
00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:07.239
distant people. Right now, I think the song then if

748
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:09.039
it's the new thing, and I think the new thing

749
00:48:09.119 --> 00:48:12.079
is they're about to be delivered from Babylon captivity. This

750
00:48:12.239 --> 00:48:15.920
is called to a song to celebrate what is getting

751
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:20.000
ready to happen. I think that makes sense, right, And

752
00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:22.440
I can't believe we're already after eleven. Okay, I wasn't

753
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:24.800
paying any attention to the time. So we'll ally's finish

754
00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:27.199
this section and then we'll pause, and then we'll come

755
00:48:27.239 --> 00:48:31.119
back and finish the outline. All right, So, and then

756
00:48:31.320 --> 00:48:33.519
second is verses eleven through twelve. What do we have

757
00:48:33.599 --> 00:48:43.519
in verses eleven through twelve? I think here just specific

758
00:48:43.599 --> 00:48:47.400
regions are now named identified. Is that I'm just gonna

759
00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:51.599
call it specific regions called the praise? It kind of

760
00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:57.760
does true, yeah, but if we want to just for yeah,

761
00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:00.519
it really it really does start in ten, So I

762
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:02.960
guess you could go ten A and then ten B,

763
00:49:03.400 --> 00:49:05.199
eleven and twelve. I don't know if you want to

764
00:49:05.239 --> 00:49:08.960
do it that way. But what are the specific regions?

765
00:49:08.960 --> 00:49:11.519
What are the specific areas? In verse eleven and twelve,

766
00:49:12.119 --> 00:49:20.519
you have the wilderness cities, the villages, a kr death

767
00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:25.880
inhabit the inhabitants of the rock. They let them shout

768
00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:30.239
from the top of the mountains. Yeah, all these different

769
00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:39.480
all these different areas, right, uh yeah, see La that's

770
00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:43.760
KIDR or Sila. I guess there is references to different ways, right, no, no,

771
00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:51.119
it's okay, Oh okay, Yeah, the praise spreads to the wilderness,

772
00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:53.719
mountaintops and far off peoples. The Lord is to be

773
00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:58.119
glorified universally, all right, So this is just a call

774
00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:00.360
for praise, and the praise seems to flow from the

775
00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:05.559
new thing. Right, Nothing very difficult about that section, all right.

776
00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:07.320
The only thing it just seems like, wait a minute,

777
00:50:07.320 --> 00:50:09.440
it seems a little bit out of place, all right.

778
00:50:09.800 --> 00:50:13.159
Then that will bring us to the next the next

779
00:50:13.360 --> 00:50:21.280
major section verse starting in verse thirteen to what all right, Well,

780
00:50:21.480 --> 00:50:24.239
this is where we're going to have some disagreements. And

781
00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:27.800
AI never agreed on this. AI argued and argued, it

782
00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:31.840
has to go from thirteen to seventeen. It has to

783
00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:35.880
go thirteen to seventeen. Right, that's and we'll cover that

784
00:50:36.039 --> 00:50:38.480
here in a minute when we start again. So any

785
00:50:38.599 --> 00:50:43.000
questions about all of that, pretty good lots of work.

786
00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:48.840
I know it's tedious, but I will justify how tedious

787
00:50:48.880 --> 00:50:52.280
this is. How just like I know, but what are

788
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:55.480
we ultimately doing through all of this section by section?

789
00:50:55.599 --> 00:50:58.960
You know now what's there? Right? You know? Now at

790
00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:03.079
least from verse one to what twelve? You now know

791
00:51:03.119 --> 00:51:06.280
what's there? Correct? So now if you hear a sermon

792
00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:08.840
and someone says anything about verses one through twelve, you

793
00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:11.920
should immediately go, wait a minute, I know that's not there,

794
00:51:12.519 --> 00:51:14.920
but you are asserting that you're reading that into the text.

795
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:18.360
I did an entire observational outline. It's kind of the

796
00:51:18.440 --> 00:51:22.039
idea of studying real money so that you can immediately

797
00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:25.760
spot the counterfeit. Right, I want you to study. I

798
00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:28.119
want you to see the real text, so that all

799
00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:31.159
the texts that somehow show up in sermons, well, you

800
00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:34.679
can immediately go what that? How did we just started

801
00:51:34.760 --> 00:51:36.800
We started this by listening to a sermon that immediately

802
00:51:36.880 --> 00:51:40.239
identified what that forty two is about Jesus. Well, we

803
00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:44.519
already found a possible textual problem with that. Right, If

804
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:48.119
it's Jesus, then why does God seem to separate My

805
00:51:48.320 --> 00:51:50.440
glory is not going to go to this person? Well

806
00:51:50.480 --> 00:51:53.239
wait a minute, that makes no sense. All right, that

807
00:51:53.320 --> 00:51:57.079
makes no sense, right, because when we behold Jesus, we

808
00:51:57.159 --> 00:52:01.599
behold the glory. How does it? What is it? John?

809
00:52:01.679 --> 00:52:03.880
Chapter one? Is it verse fourteen? Someone look at it.

810
00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:08.159
I think it's John chapter one, verse fourteen, and the

811
00:52:08.199 --> 00:52:15.079
word yeah, that's verse one. But I think verse fourteen.

812
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:18.320
I could. I don't know exactly how it reads, don't

813
00:52:18.599 --> 00:52:31.400
I don't want to misquote it. Okay, So there refers

814
00:52:31.440 --> 00:52:34.480
to his glory, and then Jesus talks about how I

815
00:52:34.519 --> 00:52:37.159
think in John seventeen I think, or somewhere later in

816
00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:39.920
John about please give me the glory that I had

817
00:52:39.960 --> 00:52:42.000
when I was with you, meaning that he had the

818
00:52:42.039 --> 00:52:45.480
same glory. Now he laid aside that glory in the incarnation.

819
00:52:45.800 --> 00:52:48.480
But so he has that glory. So wait a minute,

820
00:52:48.679 --> 00:52:50.719
be honest, like, I'm not gonna give my glory. Well,

821
00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:53.079
because he's not gonna give his glory to another. That

822
00:52:53.239 --> 00:52:56.880
another means that that glory is not the only begotten

823
00:52:56.920 --> 00:52:59.360
of the sun. It's not the only begotten son of God,

824
00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:03.119
meaning that then has to be someone different than Jesus.

825
00:53:03.239 --> 00:53:08.119
That how did I don't understand, like to say, I

826
00:53:08.159 --> 00:53:10.840
don't understand why it's so complicated, But all right, I

827
00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:14.559
think sermons, I'm telling you that the problem sermons are

828
00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:17.360
the problem of everything. All right, So we'll stop, then

829
00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:19.360
we'll come back, and then we'll try to finish this

830
00:53:19.400 --> 00:53:21.480
observation online. Right, let's probably look how we come before

831
00:53:21.480 --> 00:53:24.719
you this morning. Thank you for a place that we

832
00:53:24.760 --> 00:53:26.960
can do this. Forgive us for all the ways we've

833
00:53:26.960 --> 00:53:30.400
mishandled this section of scripture, and as we work on this,

834
00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:33.400
even in the next hour, help us just try to

835
00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:36.039
continue to find the truth about this. And we asked

836
00:53:36.039 --> 00:53:37.519
this in Jesus name, and GOS people said
