Why Solomon Was History_s Richest Man (5 Hidden Lessons) · Bible Ascent

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What if the single greatest wealth building blueprint in human
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: history has been sitting in your Bible this entire time
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and nobody told you. What if the man who cracked
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the code on abundance lived three thousand years ago, never
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: owned a smartphone, never read a finance book, never attended
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a business school, and still built a fortune so massive
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: that every billionaire alive today combined cannot touch it. What
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: if the reason you are struggling financially has nothing to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: do with your circumstances, your education, your neighborhood, or your opportunities,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and everything to do with five operating principles You have
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: simply never been taught. Stop scrolling, because what you are
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: about to hear is going to change the way you
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: think about money, wisdom, and the life God actually designed
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: for you. We are talking about King Solomon, and before
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: you assume this is just a Sunday school recap, let
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: me give you one number that will reset everything. Historians
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and economists who specialize in ancient Near Eastern trade have
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: estimated that Solomon's total accumulated wealth converted into today's purchasing
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: power exceeded two trillion dollars. That is not a rounding error.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: That is not symbolic language. Two trillion dollars, real assets,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: real infrastructure, real trade networks, real income streams flowing into
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Jerusalem every single year. Elon Musk at his highest recorded
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: net worth sits at roughly three hundred forty billion. Jeff
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Bezos peaked around two hundred eleven billion. If you added
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: every single billionaire on the Forbes list together, you would
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: still fall short of what one man in ancient Israel
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: built without electricity, without the Internet, and without a venture
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: capital firm backing him. So the question that should be
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: burning in your mind right now is how, not how
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: in a theological sense, how practically and specifically did this happen?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: What was Solomon actually doing that we have completely missed?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Today on Bible Assent, we are breaking open five hidden
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: lessons from Solomon's life, five principles that formed the architecture
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of the most extraordinary wealth creation in human history. These
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: are not motivational platitudes. These are operational truths pulled directly
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: from the text of Scripture. And by the end of
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: this video you are going to see that the gap
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: between your current reality and the abundance God designed for
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you is smaller than you think. Before we go in.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: If this channel has ever shifted something in your thinking,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: do one thing for me right now, hit subscribe and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: ring that notification bell. Every week we go deep into
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: scripture and pull out the principles meant to transform every
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: dimension of your life. You do not want to miss
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: what is coming next. And drop the word wisdom in
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the comments below, Just that one word. It is a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: declaration and I want to see it. Let us go.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Picture this. Solomon is twenty two years old. His father, David,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: has just died. He has inherited the most powerful kingdom
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in the region, and he is terrified. He knows he
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: is not ready. He knows the weight of the crown
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: is heavier than he can carry alone. And in the night,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: in a dream, God appears to him and says five
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: words that would define the rest of his life. Ask
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: what I shall give you blank check, no conditions, no limit.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: The creator of the universe, the one who owns the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: cattle on a thousand hills, the one who breathed the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: galaxies into existence, looks at this young, overwhelmed king and says,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: name it. What would you ask for? Most of us,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: if we are honest, would stumble towards something comfortable, safety
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: for our family. Enough money to stop worrying may be
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: an end to a specific problem we have been carrying
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: for years. Solomon asked for none of those things. He
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: asked for wisdom, specifically an understanding heart. The Hebrew word
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: is lev shomeia, a listening heart, so that he could
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: discern between good and evil and govern his people well.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: And here is what God said in response. He said,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: because you asked for this, instead of long life, instead
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: of riches, instead of the destruction of your enemies, I
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: am giving you wisdom beyond any human being who has
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: ever lived. And then I am also giving you riches
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and honor that no other king will match in your lifetime.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: The sequence is not decoration. The sequence is the lesson.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Here is the hidden principle. Money is always a by
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: product of wisdom, always without exception. Think of wisdom as
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: source code and money as the compile program. If you
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: have the source code, you can compile it on any machine,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: in any language, in any environment and produce a working program.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: But if someone just hands you the compiled output the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: money without teaching you the code, you cannot reproduce it,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: You cannot scale it, you cannot defend it when the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: environment changes. This is exactly exactly why seventy percent of
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: lottery winners are broke within five years. They received the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: output without the source code, and the system collapsed the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: moment conditions shifted. Stop chasing income, start chasing capability. The
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: wealth you can hold at any given moment is always
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: proportional to the wisdom you carry. If your mind can
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: only hold ten thousand dollars worth of strategy, no amount
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: of hustle will keep you above that ceiling for long.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: The most important financial question you can ask yourself tonight
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: is not how do I make more money? It is
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: what level of wisdom am I currently operating at? And
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: what would it cost me to go one level higher?
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: That question changes everything, And once you see how Solomon
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: applied that wisdom in practice, the next lesson is going
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to hit you like a freight train. Because what he
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: built was something most modern entrepreneurs are only now beginning
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to understand. Most people imagine ancient kings as regional figures,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: powerful within their borders, largely irrelevant beyond them. Solomon obliterated
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that model so completely that historians are still studying how
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: he did it first Kings, Chapter ten, verse twenty two.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Solomon had a fleet of ships of Tarsish. Every three years,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: those ships returned carrying gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Most scholars place Tarsish somewhere in the western Mediterranean, possibly
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: modern in Spain or the island of Sardinia. That means
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Solomon's commercial reach extended from the Persian Gulf to the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: far western edge of the known world. But here is
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: what most people miss. The fleet was only the outbound layer.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Solomon also positioned Israel as the world's non negotiable trade hub. Geographically,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Israel sat at the exact junction between Africa, Asia, and Europe.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Every merchant caravan moving between Egypt and Mesopotamia between the
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: two dominant superpowers of the ancient world, passed through Solomon's territory,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: every single one. He did not just tolerate that traffic,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: He monetized it systematically. He built cities at strategic points
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: along the routes. He established garrisons, He taxed the flow
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of goods in both directions. He made Jerusalem so central
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to international commerce that bypassing it was not a viable option.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Here is the hidden principle Solomon did not ask who
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: in my neighborhood will buy from me? He asked what
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: does the entire world have that my people need? And
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: what does my kingdom have that the entire world wants.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: That single reframe is the mental leap that separates every
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: middle income earner from every wealth builder in history. Now
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: stop and consider the world you actually live in. Right now,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you have in your pocket a device that connects you
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: instantly to eight billion people across every continent. You can
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: sell a digital product to someone in Japan before breakfast.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: You can run a consulting call with a client in
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Germany at noon. You can collect a payment from Brazil
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: before you go to bed. The infrastructure Solomon built with
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: armies and shipyards, you have it in an app. The
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: question is not whether the global marketplace is accessible. The
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: question is whether your mindset is still stuck inside a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: local boundary that no longer exists. Are you still thinking
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: like a corner store when you have a Tarsish fleet
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: sitting in your pocket? And that leads directly into lesson three,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: which is where Solomon's genius becomes almost uncomfortable, because he
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: figured out something that most people spend their entire career
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: never learning. This is the lesson that business school professors
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: would pay to have discovered. First. First Kings, Chapter four,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: verse seven. Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel who
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: provided food for the king and his household. Each man
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: had to make provision for one month in the year.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Read that. Slowly, Solomon built a twelve district administrative system
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: where each regional governor was responsible for supplying the royal
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: household for exactly one month per year, one month. The
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: burden rotated. The system was self balancing. It ran continuously
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: feeding thousands of people every single day, without Solomon making
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: a single daily decision about logistics. His the household ran itself.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: And this was just the domestic layer. He had separate
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: systems for construction with over one hundred and fifty thousand
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: workers organized into divisions with foremen and supervisors. Separate systems
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: for the military, separate systems for temple operations, separate systems
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: for trade, each with its own chain of accountability, its
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: own processes, its own reporting structure. Here is the hidden principle.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Solomon was not working hard. He was building architecture. There
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: is a profound difference between those two things that most
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: people never grasp until they have lost years to the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: wrong approach. Working hard means trading your time and energy
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: for output. The equation is linear, more hours, more output,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: but your hours are capped. Your energy is capped. Therefore
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: your output is capped. You can optimize within that ceiling,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: but you cannot escape it. Building architecture means designing systems
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that produce output independent of your time and energy. The
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: equation becomes exponential. The system runs while you sleep, It
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: runs while you are sick, It runs while you are traveling,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: It runs after you are gone. Here is the uncomfortable truth.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: You cannot achieve meaningful, lasting wealth by working harder within
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: your current structure. You can only achieve it by redesigning
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the structure itself. That is not laziness. That is the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: highest level of strategic intelligence applied to the problem of scale.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Ask yourself one question right now, and I want you
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to take this seriously. If you disappeared for two weeks
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: with no phone and no communication, what in your work
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: life would fall apart? Whatever your honest answer is, that
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: is exactly where your next architectural investment needs to go.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Solomon built Systems in nine hundred BC without a single
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: management book he arrived at systems thinking because wisdom, when
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: consistently applied to real world problems, always converges on leverage always.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: But here is where it gets wild, because lesson four
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: is the one that should make every content creator, every teacher,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: every consultant, and every professional completely rethink what they are
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: actually selling for. First Kings, Chapter ten, verse twenty four.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Read this carefully, and the whole earth sought the presence
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: in his heart. Every one of them brought his present
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: articles of silver and gold, garments, armor, spices, horses, and mules,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: at a rate year by year, year by year, not
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: one time, not occasionally. Annually, people from every name on
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Earth made a recurring pilgrimage to Jerusalem, specifically exclusively to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: hear Solomon speak. And they brought payment, not payment for goods,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: not payment for military alliance or political protection, payment for
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: access to his mind. First Kings, Chapter four tells us
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Solomon spoke three thousand proverbs and composed one thousand and
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: five songs. He taught on botany, on zoology, on human psychology,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: on governance, on philosophy, on architecture, and queen's kings and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: merchants traveled thousands of miles across deserts and overseas to
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: sit in his presence and listen. Here is the hidden principle.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Solomon invented the knowledge economy thirty centuries before we named it.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Think about the significance of that in an era when
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: wealth was measured entirely in physical assets land, animals, metals, grain.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Solomon created a category that did not exist before him.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: He packaged his thinking into transferable wisdom, and he made
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: it so valuable, so uniquely concentrated, that the demand created
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: itself without a single advertisement. We have a name for
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: what Solomon was doing. We call it consulting, coaching, online education,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: content creation, speaking, publishing, the platform economy, the creator economy.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: The mechanism is three thousand years more sophisticated. The principle
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: is identical. Your knowledge, the specific, unique combination of experience, insight, perspective,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and understanding that only you possess, is an asset. It
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: can be packaged, It can be reproduced. It can reach
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: people you will never personally meet. It can generate income
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: completely disconnected from your physical presence or labor. The barrier
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: between you and a knowledge based income is not credentials.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: It is not audience size. It is not equipment or
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: technology or connections. It is the failure to believe that
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: your particular experience has a value worth packaging. Solomon did
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: not wait for validation. He did not wait for someone
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: to tell him his wisdom was marketable. He simply operated
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: at such a consistently high level that the demand appeared
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: on its own. The world came to him. And that
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: brings us to the final lesson, which is the one
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I believe is most misunderstood, most underestimated, and most immediately actionable,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: because what Solomon understood about excellence will completely rewire the
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: way you think about your own work. The Queen of
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Sheba was not easily impressed. She was a sovereign ruler
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: in her own right. She controlled one of the wealthiest
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: trade regions in the ancient world modern Yemen and Ethiopia.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: She had seen palaces, she had hosted at ambassadors. She
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: knew what power looked like, and when she heard the
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: reports about Solomon, his wisdom, his wealth, his kingdom, her
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: first instinct was skepticism. So she came herself. She arrived
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: with a massive entourage, camels loaded with spices, enormous quantities
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: of gold and precious stones. She came with hard questions
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: designed to test whether the reputation matched the reality. First Kings,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Chapter ten, verses four and five describe what happened when
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: she saw Solomon's operation with her own eyes. She saw
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the food on his table. She saw the seating arrangement
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: of his servants. She saw the way his attendants were dressed,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: every detail of their appearance coordinated and deliberate. She saw
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: his cupbearers and the manner in which they served. She
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: saw the burnt offerings he made at the temple, and
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the text says that there was no more spirit in
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: her Original Hebrew suggests she was breathless, that the sheer,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: unrelenting excellence of everything around her left her momentarily emptied
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: of herself. That is what excellence does. It does not
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: just impress people, it disarms them. Here is the hidden principle.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Excellence is not an esthetic preference. It is a financial strategy.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Every detail in Solomon's court was intentional, not because he
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: was obsessive, not because he was trying to show off,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Because he understood at the deepest level that the quality
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: of what surrounds you communicates the quality of what you
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: are capable of producing, and that communication, silent, immediate, impossible
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: to fake, determines what level of resources, opportunities, and people
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you attract into your life. Think about the last time
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: you paid premium for something, not because you had to,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: because you wanted to, because something about the experience felt different.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: What was it? Almost certainly it was attention to detail.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: It was the sense that someone cared deeply about every
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: element of what they were delivering. That care communicated competence.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: That competence justified the price. Now think about your own work,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: your business, your content, your service, your craft. Would someone
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: who encountered it for the first time feel what the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Queen of Sheba felt? Or would they feel something closer
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: to this? Is fine? I guess. Fine does not earn
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: a premium. Fine does not get talked about. Fine does
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: not cause a queen to travel across a desert and
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: then give you everything she brought with her. Excellence does
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: The application is direct and uncomfortable. Mediocrity is expensive in disguise,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: every cut corner, every good enough decision, every detail you
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: let slide because no one will notice. Those are not savings.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: They are investments in a ceiling that keeps your income
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: exactly where it is. When you raise the standard of
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: what you produce, you raise the level of client, partner
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and opportunity you attract. And when you raise the level
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: of what surrounds you, everything shifts, not gradually dramatically. Let
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: us step back and look at the complete picture. Solomon
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: built his two trillion dollar legacy on five operating principles.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Wisdom before wealth because the source code matters more than
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the output, global thinking, because there is no geographic limit
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: on the value you can create or deliver. Scalable systems
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: because your ceiling is always set by your structure, never
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: your effort alone, packaged intellectual property because your knowledge is
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: a currency waiting to be minted, and relentless excellence because
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the atmosphere you create determines the resources you attract. Five principles,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: one operating system available to you right now. But here
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: is the thing that I have to say before we close,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: because without this, everything else is just financial strategy detached
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: from its source. Solomon's two trillion dollar legacy began in
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the dark, alone, in a dream, with a prayer of humility,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: not ambition. Humility. I do not know how to lead
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: this people, I am not wise enough. Give me an
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: understanding heart. That prayer, that posture was the seed, and
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: God's response to that seed was wealth. So staggering that
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: three thousand years later we are still doing math trying
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: to understand it. The prosperity you are looking for is
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: not going to come from a better strategy. It is
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: not going to come from a harder work ethic or
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: a more optimized morning routine. It is going to come
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: from the same place it came for Solomon, from aligning
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: your heart with the source of all wisdom and saying, honestly,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I do not fully know what I am doing. Teach
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: me that is not weakness. That is the activation key
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: for everything. Now Here is what I want you to
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: do right now. If you have not already, type the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: word wisdom in the comments below, not as a ritual,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: as a declaration. You are saying, I am choosing the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: wisdom first path. Starting today, I am going to invest
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: in my mind, build my systems, expand my reach package
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: what I know, and raise my standard of excellence. Type
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: it right now. I read every single comment on this channel,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and I want to see your declaration. Second, share this
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: video with one person today one person you believe is
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: ready to hear this. You never know whose trajectory you
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: change by simply forwarding a link. And if you are
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: not yet subscribed to Bible Assent, what are you waiting for?
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Every single week we go deep into scripture and pull
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: out the principles that are meant to reshape not just
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: your theology, but your entire life. Hit subscribe, turn on
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the notification bell, come back next week. Solomon asked for
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: wisdom quietly in the dark, when no one was watching.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Heaven moved on his behalf in ways that history still
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: cannot fully explain. Your moment might be right now, do
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: not waste it.
