  the

  Dwelling

  Place
• 0:01
  from
• 0:01
  Entrusted
• 0:01
  Ministries,
• 0:02
  and
• 0:02
  we
• 0:03
  believe
• 0:03
  that
• 0:03
  what
• 0:03
  really
• 0:04
  transforms
• 0:04
  our
• 0:04
  homes
• 0:05
  is
• 0:05
  the
• 0:05
  presence
• 0:05
  of
• 0:06
  the
• 0:06
  Lord.
• 0:06
  I'm

  Stephanie
• 0:07
  Cock,
• 0:07
  and
• 0:08
  today
• 0:08
  we're
• 0:08
  diving
• 0:08
  in
• 0:09
  on
• 0:09
  one
• 0:09
  of
• 0:09
  my
• 0:09
  favorite,
• 0:10
  barely
• 0:10
  known
• 0:11
  characters
• 0:11
  in
• 0:11
  the
• 0:11
  Bible.
• 0:12
  We're
• 0:12
  also
• 0:13
  going
• 0:13
  to
• 0:13
  continue
• 0:13
  to
• 0:13
  look
• 0:14
  at
• 0:14
  Baum's
• 0:14
  story
• 0:15
  and
• 0:15
  see
• 0:15
  if
• 0:15
  he'll
• 0:16
  finally
• 0:16
  give
• 0:16
  in
• 0:16
  to
• 0:17
  Bailiff's
• 0:17
  request
• 0:18
  to
• 0:18
  curse
• 0:18
  the
• 0:18
  Israelites.
• 0:19
  I'm
• 0:19
  gonna
• 0:19
  give
• 0:20
  a
• 0:20
  sensitive
• 0:20
  ear
• 0:20
  warning
• 0:21
  on
• 0:21
  this
• 0:21
  episode.
• 0:22
  It'll
• 0:22
  be
• 0:22
  best
• 0:23
  for
• 0:23
  moms
• 0:23
  to
• 0:23
  listen
• 0:23
  to
• 0:24
  alone.
• 0:24
  We
• 0:24
  are
• 0:24
  looking
• 0:25
  at
• 0:25
  numbers
• 0:25
  Chapter
• 0:26
  24
• 0:26
  through
• 0:27
  26,
• 0:27
  chapter
• 0:28
  23,
• 0:29
  closed
• 0:29
  with
• 0:29
  Baum,
• 0:29
  blessing
• 0:30
  the
• 0:30
  Israelites
• 0:30
  once
• 0:31
  again,
• 0:31
  and
• 0:31
  Baic
• 0:32
  the
• 0:32
  king
• 0:32
  of
• 0:32
  Moab,
• 0:33
  getting
• 0:33
  frustrated
• 0:34
  and
• 0:34
  saying,
• 0:35
  maybe
• 0:35
  if
• 0:35
  I
• 0:35
  let
• 0:35
  you
• 0:36
  look
• 0:36
  at
• 0:36
  them
• 0:36
  from
• 0:36
  a
• 0:36
  different
• 0:37
  angle,
• 0:37
  you'll
• 0:37
  change
• 0:37
  your
• 0:38
  mind.
• 0:38
  I
• 0:38
  mean,
• 0:39
  this
• 0:39
  bait
• 0:39
  guy
• 0:40
  is
• 0:40
  relentless,
• 0:41
  but
• 0:41
  he's
• 0:41
  pretty
• 0:41
  dense.
• 0:42
  He's
• 0:42
  just
• 0:43
  not
• 0:43
  figuring
• 0:43
  it
• 0:43
  out.
• 0:44
  And
• 0:44
  in
• 0:44
  chapter
• 0:44
  24,
• 0:45
  where
• 0:45
  our
• 0:45
  reading
• 0:46
  begins
• 0:46
  today.
• 0:47
  It
• 0:47
  says,
• 0:47
  and
• 0:48
  the
• 0:48
  spirit
• 0:48
  of
• 0:48
  God
• 0:49
  came
• 0:49
  upon
• 0:49
  him,
• 0:50
  and
• 0:50
  Baam
• 0:50
  took
• 0:51
  up
• 0:51
  his
• 0:51
  discourse,
• 0:52
  and
• 0:52
  he
• 0:52
  blesses
• 0:53
  the
• 0:53
  Israelites
• 0:53
  once
• 0:54
  again
• 0:54
  let's
• 0:54
  start
• 0:55
  at
• 0:55
  verse
• 0:55
  10,
• 0:56
  and
• 0:56
  Bali's
• 0:56
  anger
• 0:57
  was
• 0:57
  kindled
• 0:57
  against
• 0:58
  Balaam
• 0:58
  and
• 0:58
  he
• 0:58
  struck
• 0:59
  his
• 0:59
  hands
• 0:59
  together
• 1:00
  and
• 1:00
  Balik
• 1:01
  said
• 1:01
  to
• 1:01
  Baam,
• 1:01
  I
• 1:02
  called
• 1:02
  you
• 1:02
  to
• 1:02
  curse
• 1:03
  my
• 1:03
  enemies.
• 1:03
  And
• 1:04
  behold,
• 1:04
  you
• 1:05
  have
• 1:05
  blessed
• 1:05
  them
• 1:06
  these
• 1:06
  three
• 1:06
  times.
• 1:07
  Therefore,
• 1:08
  now
• 1:08
  flee
• 1:08
  to
• 1:08
  your
• 1:09
  own
• 1:09
  place.
• 1:10
  I
• 1:10
  said
• 1:10
  I
• 1:11
  will
• 1:11
  certainly
• 1:11
  honor
• 1:11
  you,
• 1:12
  but
• 1:12
  the
• 1:12
  Lord
• 1:12
  has
• 1:13
  held
• 1:13
  you
• 1:13
  back
• 1:13
  from
• 1:13
  honor
• 1:14
  and
• 1:14
  Baam
• 1:15
  said
• 1:15
  to
• 1:15
  Balik,
• 1:16
  did
• 1:16
  I
• 1:16
  not
• 1:16
  tell
• 1:16
  your
• 1:16
  messengers
• 1:17
  whom
• 1:17
  you
• 1:17
  sent
• 1:18
  to
• 1:18
  me?
• 1:18
  If
• 1:18
  Balik
• 1:19
  should
• 1:19
  give
• 1:19
  me
• 1:19
  his
• 1:20
  house
• 1:20
  full
• 1:20
  of
• 1:20
  silver
• 1:21
  and
• 1:21
  gold,
• 1:21
  I
• 1:22
  would
• 1:22
  not
• 1:22
  be
• 1:22
  able
• 1:22
  to
• 1:23
  go
• 1:23
  beyond
• 1:23
  the
• 1:24
  word
• 1:24
  of
• 1:24
  the
• 1:24
  Lord
• 1:24
  to
• 1:25
  do
• 1:25
  either
• 1:25
  good
• 1:26
  or
• 1:26
  bad
• 1:26
  of
• 1:26
  my
• 1:26
  own
• 1:27
  will.
• 1:27
  What
• 1:27
  the
• 1:27
  Lord
• 1:28
  speaks
• 1:28
  that
• 1:29
  will
• 1:29
  I
• 1:29
  speak
• 1:30
  and
• 1:30
  now
• 1:30
  behold,
• 1:30
  I'm
• 1:31
  going
• 1:31
  to
• 1:31
  my
• 1:31
  people
• 1:32
  come.
• 1:33
  I
• 1:33
  will
• 1:33
  let
• 1:33
  you
• 1:33
  know
• 1:33
  what
• 1:33
  this
• 1:34
  people
• 1:34
  will
• 1:34
  do
• 1:34
  to
• 1:34
  your
• 1:34
  people
• 1:35
  in
• 1:35
  the
• 1:35
  latter
• 1:35
  days.
• 1:36
  And
• 1:36
  he
• 1:36
  took
• 1:36
  up
• 1:37
  his
• 1:37
  discourse
• 1:37
  and
• 1:37
  said,
• 1:38
  the
• 1:38
  oracle
• 1:39
  of
• 1:39
  Baam,
• 1:39
  the
• 1:40
  son
• 1:40
  of
• 1:40
  bor,
• 1:41
  the
• 1:41
  oracle
• 1:41
  of
• 1:42
  the
• 1:42
  man
• 1:42
  whose
• 1:42
  eye
• 1:42
  is
• 1:43
  opened,
• 1:43
  the
• 1:43
  oracle
• 1:44
  of
• 1:44
  him
• 1:44
  who
• 1:45
  hears
• 1:45
  the
• 1:45
  words
• 1:45
  of
• 1:46
  God.
• 1:46
  And
• 1:46
  knows
• 1:47
  the
• 1:47
  knowledge
• 1:47
  of
• 1:47
  the
• 1:47
  most
• 1:48
  high.
• 1:48
  Who
• 1:48
  sees
• 1:49
  the
• 1:49
  vision
• 1:49
  of
• 1:49
  the
• 1:49
  Almighty
• 1:50
  falling
• 1:51
  down
• 1:51
  with
• 1:51
  his
• 1:51
  eyes
• 1:51
  uncovered?
• 1:52
  I
• 1:52
  see
• 1:53
  him,
• 1:53
  but
• 1:53
  not
• 1:54
  now.
• 1:54
  I
• 1:54
  behold
• 1:55
  him,
• 1:55
  but
• 1:55
  not
• 1:56
  near.
• 1:56
  A
• 1:56
  star
• 1:57
  shall
• 1:57
  come
• 1:57
  out
• 1:57
  of
• 1:57
  Jacob,
• 1:58
  and
• 1:58
  a
• 1:58
  scepter
• 1:59
  shall
• 1:59
  rise
• 1:59
  out
• 1:59
  of
• 2:00
  Israel.
• 2:00
  It
• 2:01
  shall
• 2:01
  crush
• 2:01
  the
• 2:01
  forehead
• 2:02
  of
• 2:02
  Moab
• 2:03
  and
• 2:03
  break
• 2:03
  down
• 2:03
  all
• 2:04
  the
• 2:04
  sons
• 2:04
  of
• 2:04
  Sheth.
• 2:05
  Edem
• 2:05
  shall
• 2:05
  be
• 2:05
  dispersed
• 2:06
  seer
• 2:07
  also,
• 2:07
  his
• 2:07
  enemies
• 2:08
  shall
• 2:08
  be
• 2:08
  dispossessed.
• 2:09
  Israel
• 2:10
  is
• 2:10
  doing
• 2:10
  valiantly,
• 2:11
  and
• 2:11
  one
• 2:11
  from
• 2:12
  Jacob
• 2:12
  shall
• 2:12
  exercise
• 2:13
  dominion
• 2:14
  and
• 2:14
  destroy
• 2:14
  the
• 2:15
  survivors
• 2:15
  of
• 2:15
  cities.
• 2:16
  Perhaps
• 2:17
  it's
• 2:17
  helpful
• 2:17
  For
• 2:17
  a
• 2:17
  little
• 2:18
  review
• 2:18
  that
• 2:18
  the
• 2:19
  Moabites
• 2:19
  are
• 2:20
  the
• 2:20
  descendants
• 2:20
  from
• 2:20
  lot
• 2:21
  and
• 2:21
  his
• 2:21
  oldest
• 2:21
  daughter,
• 2:22
  the
• 2:22
  Amalekites
• 2:23
  are
• 2:23
  descendants
• 2:24
  from
• 2:24
  Esau
• 2:24
  and
• 2:24
  the
• 2:25
  Midianites
• 2:25
  descendant
• 2:26
  from
• 2:26
  Abraham's
• 2:27
  second
• 2:27
  wife.
• 2:27
  It's
• 2:28
  interesting
• 2:28
  that
• 2:28
  they're
• 2:28
  called
• 2:29
  to
• 2:29
  defeat
• 2:29
  them
• 2:29
  as
• 2:29
  well,
• 2:30
  I
• 2:30
  kind
• 2:30
  of
• 2:31
  get
• 2:31
  a
• 2:31
  kick
• 2:31
  out
• 2:31
  of
• 2:31
  it.
• 2:31
  When
• 2:32
  we
• 2:32
  read
• 2:32
  that
• 2:32
  Balik
• 2:33
  was
• 2:33
  so
• 2:33
  angry,
• 2:34
  he
• 2:34
  struck
• 2:34
  his
• 2:34
  hands
• 2:35
  together.
• 2:35
  You
• 2:36
  can
• 2:36
  almost
• 2:36
  picture
• 2:36
  him
• 2:36
  stomping
• 2:37
  his
• 2:37
  feet,
• 2:37
  can't
• 2:38
  you?
• 2:38
  I
• 2:38
  Perhaps
• 2:39
  that
• 2:39
  prophecy,
• 2:40
  a
• 2:40
  star
• 2:40
  shall
• 2:40
  come
• 2:41
  out
• 2:41
  of
• 2:41
  Jacob
• 2:41
  and
• 2:41
  a
• 2:42
  scepter
• 2:42
  shall
• 2:42
  rise
• 2:42
  out
• 2:43
  of
• 2:43
  Israel
• 2:43
  is
• 2:44
  familiar
• 2:44
  to
• 2:44
  you
• 2:44
  about
• 2:45
  Jesus,
• 2:45
  but
• 2:45
  you
• 2:45
  didn't
• 2:46
  realize
• 2:46
  that
• 2:47
  they
• 2:47
  came
• 2:47
  from
• 2:47
  a
• 2:47
  pagan
• 2:48
  prophet.
• 2:49
  The
• 2:49
  star
• 2:49
  was
• 2:50
  related
• 2:50
  to
• 2:50
  royalty
• 2:51
  and
• 2:51
  the
• 2:51
  scepter
• 2:51
  showed
• 2:52
  power
• 2:52
  and
• 2:52
  authority.
• 2:53
  Baum
• 2:53
  seems
• 2:54
  so
• 2:54
  honorable
• 2:54
  when
• 2:55
  he
• 2:55
  says,
• 2:55
  even
• 2:56
  if
• 2:56
  you'd
• 2:56
  give
• 2:56
  me
• 2:56
  a
• 2:56
  house
• 2:57
  full
• 2:57
  of
• 2:57
  silver
• 2:57
  and
• 2:57
  gold,
• 2:58
  I
• 2:58
  can't
• 2:59
  go
• 2:59
  beyond
• 2:59
  the
• 2:59
  word
• 3:00
  of
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  Lord,
• 3:00
  but
• 3:00
  we
• 3:01
  get
• 3:01
  a
• 3:01
  reality
• 3:01
  check
• 3:02
  in
• 3:02
  the
• 3:02
  next
• 3:02
  chapter
• 3:03
  that
• 3:03
  he
• 3:03
  actually
• 3:04
  provoked
• 3:04
  to
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  Israelites
• 3:05
  to
• 3:06
  become
• 3:06
  sexually
• 3:06
  immoral
• 3:07
  with
• 3:07
  the
• 3:08
  daughters
• 3:08
  of
• 3:08
  Moab.
• 3:09
  So
• 3:09
  just
• 3:09
  because
• 3:10
  the
• 3:10
  Lord
• 3:10
  uses
• 3:11
  him
• 3:11
  to
• 3:11
  give
• 3:11
  one
• 3:11
  of
• 3:11
  the
• 3:12
  clearest
• 3:12
  foretelling
• 3:13
  of
• 3:13
  Christ
• 3:13
  in
• 3:14
  the
• 3:14
  Pentateuch.
• 3:14
  This
• 3:15
  Messenger
• 3:15
  is
• 3:15
  still
• 3:16
  not
• 3:16
  our
• 3:16
  guy.
• 3:16
  We
• 3:17
  look
• 3:17
  forward
• 3:17
  to
• 3:18
  the
• 3:18
  perfect
• 3:18
  Messiah
• 3:18
  to
• 3:19
  come.
• 3:19
  In
• 3:19
  chapter
• 3:20
  25,
• 3:20
  beginning
• 3:21
  in
• 3:21
  verse
• 3:21
  one,
• 3:22
  we're
• 3:22
  told.
• 3:23
  While
• 3:23
  Israel
• 3:23
  lived
• 3:24
  in
• 3:24
  shit
• 3:24
  him
• 3:24
  that
• 3:24
  people
• 3:25
  began
• 3:25
  to
• 3:25
  whore
• 3:26
  with
• 3:26
  the
• 3:26
  daughters
• 3:26
  of
• 3:26
  Moab.
• 3:27
  These
• 3:27
  invited
• 3:28
  the
• 3:28
  people
• 3:28
  to
• 3:28
  the
• 3:28
  sacrifices
• 3:29
  of
• 3:29
  their
• 3:29
  gods,
• 3:30
  and
• 3:30
  the
• 3:30
  people
• 3:31
  ate
• 3:31
  and
• 3:31
  bowed
• 3:32
  down
• 3:32
  to
• 3:32
  their
• 3:32
  gods.
• 3:33
  So
• 3:33
  Israel
• 3:33
  yoked
• 3:34
  himself
• 3:34
  to
• 3:34
  Baal
• 3:35
  of
• 3:35
  P,
• 3:36
  and
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  anger
• 3:36
  of
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  Lord
• 3:37
  was
• 3:37
  kindled
• 3:38
  against
• 3:38
  Israel.
• 3:39
  And
• 3:39
  the
• 3:39
  Lord
• 3:39
  said
• 3:39
  to
• 3:39
  Moses,
• 3:40
  take
• 3:40
  all
• 3:41
  the
• 3:41
  chiefs
• 3:41
  of
• 3:41
  the
• 3:41
  people
• 3:42
  and
• 3:42
  hang
• 3:42
  them
• 3:43
  in
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  sun
• 3:43
  before
• 3:43
  the
• 3:44
  Lord,
• 3:44
  that
• 3:44
  the
• 3:44
  fierce
• 3:45
  anger
• 3:45
  of
• 3:45
  the
• 3:45
  Lord
• 3:46
  may
• 3:46
  turn
• 3:46
  away
• 3:46
  from
• 3:46
  Israel.
• 3:47
  And
• 3:47
  Moses
• 3:48
  said
• 3:48
  to
• 3:48
  the
• 3:48
  judges
• 3:48
  of
• 3:48
  Israel,
• 3:49
  each
• 3:49
  of
• 3:49
  you
• 3:50
  kill
• 3:50
  those
• 3:50
  of
• 3:50
  his
• 3:51
  men
• 3:51
  who
• 3:51
  have
• 3:51
  yoked
• 3:52
  themselves
• 3:52
  to
• 3:52
  Baal
• 3:53
  of
• 3:53
  P.
• 3:53
  And
• 3:54
  behold,
• 3:54
  one
• 3:55
  of
• 3:55
  the
• 3:55
  people
• 3:55
  of
• 3:55
  Israel
• 3:56
  came
• 3:56
  and
• 3:57
  brought
• 3:57
  a
• 3:57
  Midianite
• 3:57
  woman
• 3:58
  to
• 3:58
  his
• 3:58
  family
• 3:59
  in
• 3:59
  the
• 3:59
  sight
• 3:59
  of
• 3:59
  Moses
• 4:00
  and
• 4:00
  in
• 4:00
  the
• 4:01
  sight
• 4:01
  of
• 4:01
  the
• 4:01
  whole
• 4:01
  congregation
• 4:02
  of
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  people
• 4:03
  of
• 4:03
  Israel
• 4:03
  while
• 4:04
  they
• 4:04
  were
• 4:04
  weeping
• 4:05
  in
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  entrance
• 4:05
  of
• 4:05
  the
• 4:06
  tent
• 4:06
  of
• 4:06
  meeting.
• 4:06
  When
• 4:07
  Phineas,
• 4:07
  the
• 4:07
  son
• 4:08
  of
• 4:08
  Azar,
• 4:09
  son
• 4:09
  of
• 4:09
  Aaron,
• 4:09
  the
• 4:09
  priest,
• 4:10
  saw
• 4:10
  it.
• 4:10
  He
• 4:11
  rose
• 4:11
  and
• 4:11
  left
• 4:11
  the
• 4:12
  congregation
• 4:12
  and
• 4:12
  took
• 4:13
  a
• 4:13
  spear
• 4:13
  in
• 4:13
  his
• 4:13
  hand
• 4:14
  and
• 4:14
  went
• 4:14
  after
• 4:15
  the
• 4:15
  man
• 4:15
  of
• 4:15
  Israel
• 4:16
  into
• 4:16
  the
• 4:16
  chamber
• 4:17
  and
• 4:17
  pierced
• 4:17
  both
• 4:18
  of
• 4:18
  them,
• 4:18
  the
• 4:18
  man
• 4:19
  of
• 4:19
  Israel
• 4:19
  and
• 4:19
  the
• 4:19
  woman
• 4:20
  through
• 4:20
  her
• 4:20
  belly.
• 4:21
  Thus,
• 4:21
  the
• 4:21
  plague
• 4:22
  on
• 4:22
  the
• 4:22
  people
• 4:22
  of
• 4:22
  Israel
• 4:23
  was
• 4:23
  stopped.
• 4:23
  Nevertheless,
• 4:24
  those
• 4:25
  who
• 4:25
  died
• 4:25
  by
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  plague
• 4:26
  were
• 4:26
  24,000.
• 4:27
  And
• 4:28
  the
• 4:28
  Lord
• 4:28
  said
• 4:28
  to
• 4:28
  Moses
• 4:29
  Phineas,
• 4:29
  the
• 4:30
  son
• 4:30
  of
• 4:30
  Azar,
• 4:31
  son
• 4:31
  of
• 4:31
  Aaron,
• 4:32
  the
• 4:32
  priest,
• 4:32
  has
• 4:33
  turned
• 4:33
  back
• 4:33
  my
• 4:34
  wrath
• 4:34
  from
• 4:34
  the
• 4:34
  people
• 4:35
  of
• 4:35
  Israel
• 4:35
  and
• 4:35
  that
• 4:36
  he
• 4:36
  was
• 4:36
  jealous
• 4:37
  with
• 4:37
  my
• 4:37
  jealousy
• 4:38
  among
• 4:38
  them
• 4:38
  so
• 4:39
  that
• 4:39
  I
• 4:39
  did
• 4:39
  not
• 4:39
  consume
• 4:40
  the
• 4:40
  people
• 4:40
  of
• 4:40
  Israel
• 4:41
  and
• 4:41
  my
• 4:41
  jealousy.
• 4:41
  Therefore
• 4:42
  say,
• 4:43
  behold,
• 4:43
  I
• 4:44
  give
• 4:44
  to
• 4:44
  him
• 4:44
  my
• 4:44
  covenant
• 4:45
  of
• 4:45
  peace.
• 4:46
  And
• 4:46
  it
• 4:46
  shall
• 4:46
  be
• 4:46
  to
• 4:46
  him
• 4:47
  and
• 4:47
  to
• 4:47
  his
• 4:47
  descendants
• 4:48
  after
• 4:48
  him,
• 4:48
  the
• 4:48
  covenant
• 4:49
  of
• 4:49
  a
• 4:49
  perpetual
• 4:50
  priesthood
• 4:51
  because
• 4:51
  he
• 4:52
  was
• 4:52
  jealous
• 4:52
  for
• 4:52
  his
• 4:53
  God
• 4:53
  and
• 4:53
  made
• 4:54
  atonement
• 4:54
  for
• 4:54
  the
• 4:54
  people
• 4:55
  of
• 4:55
  Israel.
• 4:56
  Okay.
• 4:56
  like
• 4:57
  I
• 4:57
  said,
• 4:57
  this
• 4:57
  is
• 4:57
  my
• 4:57
  boy.
• 4:58
  I
• 4:58
  love
• 4:59
  Phineas.
• 4:59
  Because
• 5:00
  he
• 5:00
  is
• 5:00
  zealous
• 5:00
  for
• 5:01
  righteousness.
• 5:01
  I
• 5:01
  mean,
• 5:02
  this
• 5:02
  is
• 5:02
  bold
• 5:03
  and
• 5:03
  brazen
• 5:04
  sin.
• 5:05
  While
• 5:05
  people
• 5:06
  are
• 5:06
  being
• 5:06
  killed.
• 5:06
  for
• 5:07
  sexual
• 5:07
  impurity.
• 5:08
  Ziri
• 5:08
  has
• 5:09
  the
• 5:09
  gall
• 5:09
  to
• 5:09
  take
• 5:10
  a
• 5:10
  woman
• 5:10
  into
• 5:10
  his
• 5:11
  tent
• 5:11
  while
• 5:12
  everyone
• 5:12
  is
• 5:12
  weeping
• 5:13
  and
• 5:13
  in
• 5:13
  the
• 5:14
  sight
• 5:14
  of
• 5:14
  everyone
• 5:15
  Vinia
• 5:15
  sees
• 5:15
  it
• 5:15
  and
• 5:16
  he
• 5:16
  acts
• 5:16
  definitively.
• 5:17
  I
• 5:17
  don't
• 5:18
  mean
• 5:18
  to
• 5:18
  be
• 5:18
  graphic
• 5:18
  here,
• 5:19
  but
• 5:19
  if
• 5:19
  you
• 5:19
  are
• 5:19
  going
• 5:20
  to
• 5:20
  take
• 5:20
  a
• 5:20
  spear
• 5:21
  and
• 5:21
  pierce
• 5:21
  it
• 5:21
  through
• 5:21
  a
• 5:21
  man
• 5:22
  and
• 5:22
  a
• 5:22
  woman
• 5:22
  through
• 5:22
  their
• 5:23
  belly
• 5:23
  at
• 5:23
  the
• 5:23
  same
• 5:23
  time,
• 5:24
  it's
• 5:24
  clear
• 5:24
  what's
• 5:25
  happening.
• 5:26
  Baal
• 5:26
  of
• 5:26
  P
• 5:27
  is
• 5:27
  not
• 5:27
  the
• 5:27
  exact
• 5:28
  same
• 5:28
  Baal
• 5:28
  as
• 5:28
  the
• 5:29
  Canaanite
• 5:29
  God,
• 5:30
  but
• 5:30
  the
• 5:30
  Pagan
• 5:30
  practices
• 5:31
  to
• 5:31
  worship
• 5:31
  him
• 5:32
  were
• 5:32
  very
• 5:32
  similar
• 5:33
  to
• 5:33
  that
• 5:33
  of
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  Canaanite,
• 5:34
  Baal,
• 5:34
  and
• 5:35
  a
• 5:35
  Mole.
• 5:35
  There
• 5:36
  were
• 5:36
  often
• 5:36
  sexual
• 5:37
  fertility
• 5:38
  practices
• 5:38
  and
• 5:39
  even
• 5:39
  eating
• 5:40
  sacrifices
• 5:40
  of
• 5:41
  the
• 5:41
  dead.
• 5:42
  On
• 5:42
  a
• 5:42
  much
• 5:42
  more
• 5:43
  palatable
• 5:43
  note,
• 5:44
  there
• 5:44
  are
• 5:44
  five
• 5:45
  covenants
• 5:45
  in
• 5:45
  scripture
• 5:46
  that
• 5:46
  are
• 5:46
  originated
• 5:47
  by
• 5:47
  God
• 5:48
  that
• 5:48
  are
• 5:48
  described
• 5:48
  as
• 5:49
  everlasting.
• 5:50
  And
• 5:50
  this
• 5:50
  is
• 5:50
  one
• 5:50
  of
• 5:50
  them.
• 5:51
  God
• 5:51
  had
• 5:51
  already
• 5:52
  promised
• 5:52
  to
• 5:52
  establish
• 5:53
  the
• 5:53
  priesthood
• 5:54
  through
• 5:54
  Aaron's
• 5:54
  line,
• 5:55
  but
• 5:55
  it's
• 5:55
  not
• 5:55
  until
• 5:56
  Phineas,
• 5:56
  his
• 5:56
  grandson,
• 5:57
  that
• 5:57
  God
• 5:57
  says
• 5:58
  this
• 5:58
  will
• 5:59
  be
• 5:59
  a
• 5:59
  perpetual
• 6:00
  and
• 6:00
  everlasting
• 6:00
  covenant.
• 6:01
  It's
• 6:01
  even
• 6:02
  going
• 6:02
  to
• 6:02
  last
• 6:02
  through
• 6:02
  the
• 6:03
  millennial
• 6:03
  reign.
• 6:03
  God
• 6:04
  blesses
• 6:04
  his
• 6:05
  zeal
• 6:05
  and
• 6:05
  sees
• 6:06
  the
• 6:06
  purity
• 6:06
  of
• 6:06
  his
• 6:06
  heart.
• 6:07
  PHUs
• 6:08
  is
• 6:08
  seeing
• 6:08
  how
• 6:08
  the
• 6:08
  sin
• 6:09
  of
• 6:09
  some
• 6:09
  can
• 6:10
  affect
• 6:10
  the
• 6:10
  whole
• 6:10
  congregation,
• 6:11
  and
• 6:12
  he
• 6:12
  says,
• 6:12
  I'll
• 6:13
  cut
• 6:13
  it
• 6:13
  off
• 6:13
  right
• 6:13
  now.
• 6:14
  The
• 6:14
  Lord
• 6:14
  is
• 6:14
  referring
• 6:15
  to
• 6:15
  Phineas
• 6:15
  in
• 6:16
  Malachi
• 6:16
  two,
• 6:17
  five
• 6:17
  through
• 6:17
  seven
• 6:18
  when
• 6:18
  he
• 6:18
  says,
• 6:19
  my
• 6:19
  covenant
• 6:19
  with
• 6:20
  him
• 6:20
  was
• 6:20
  one
• 6:20
  of
• 6:20
  life
• 6:21
  and
• 6:21
  peace,
• 6:21
  and
• 6:22
  I
• 6:22
  gave
• 6:22
  them
• 6:22
  to
• 6:22
  him.
• 6:23
  It
• 6:23
  was
• 6:23
  a
• 6:23
  covenant
• 6:24
  of
• 6:24
  fear,
• 6:24
  and
• 6:24
  he
• 6:24
  feared
• 6:25
  me.
• 6:25
  He
• 6:25
  stood
• 6:25
  in
• 6:26
  awe
• 6:26
  of
• 6:26
  my
• 6:26
  name.
• 6:27
  True
• 6:27
  instruction
• 6:28
  was
• 6:28
  in
• 6:28
  his
• 6:28
  mouth
• 6:29
  and
• 6:29
  no
• 6:29
  wrong
• 6:29
  was
• 6:30
  found
• 6:30
  on
• 6:30
  his
• 6:30
  lips.
• 6:31
  He
• 6:31
  walked
• 6:31
  with
• 6:31
  me
• 6:31
  in
• 6:32
  peace
• 6:32
  and
• 6:32
  a
• 6:32
  brightness,
• 6:33
  and
• 6:33
  he
• 6:33
  turned
• 6:34
  many
• 6:34
  from
• 6:34
  iniquity.
• 6:35
  Isn't
• 6:35
  it
• 6:36
  awesome
• 6:36
  that
• 6:36
  by
• 6:36
  this
• 6:37
  act
• 6:37
  he
• 6:38
  turned
• 6:38
  many
• 6:38
  away
• 6:39
  from
• 6:39
  sin
• 6:39
  and
• 6:40
  he
• 6:40
  followed
• 6:40
  the
• 6:40
  priestly
• 6:41
  duties
• 6:41
  to
• 6:41
  give
• 6:41
  wise
• 6:42
  instruction?
• 6:43
  It
• 6:43
  makes
• 6:43
  perfect
• 6:43
  sense
• 6:44
  because
• 6:44
  it
• 6:44
  says
• 6:45
  he
• 6:45
  feared
• 6:45
  me.
• 6:46
  We
• 6:46
  know
• 6:46
  that
• 6:46
  the
• 6:47
  fear
• 6:47
  of
• 6:47
  the
• 6:47
  Lord
• 6:48
  is
• 6:48
  the
• 6:48
  beginning
• 6:48
  of
• 6:48
  wisdom.
• 6:49
  And
• 6:49
  he
• 6:49
  guards
• 6:49
  his
• 6:50
  mouth
• 6:50
  from
• 6:50
  wrong
• 6:50
  because
• 6:51
  he's
• 6:51
  zealous
• 6:51
  to
• 6:52
  honor
• 6:52
  the
• 6:52
  Lord
• 6:52
  with
• 6:52
  his
• 6:52
  words.
• 6:53
  I'm
• 6:53
  just
• 6:53
  so
• 6:54
  inspired
• 6:55
  that
• 6:55
  in
• 6:55
  spite
• 6:55
  of
• 6:55
  all
• 6:56
  the
• 6:56
  sin
• 6:56
  going
• 6:56
  on
• 6:56
  around
• 6:57
  him,
• 6:57
  that
• 6:57
  Phineas
• 6:58
  was
• 6:58
  uncompromising
• 6:59
  in
• 6:59
  his
• 6:59
  purity.
• 7:00
  And
• 7:01
  I
• 7:01
  definitely
• 7:01
  don't
• 7:01
  want
• 7:01
  my
• 7:02
  son
• 7:02
  spearing
• 7:02
  anyone,
• 7:03
  but
• 7:03
  I
• 7:03
  pray
• 7:04
  that
• 7:04
  they
• 7:04
  would
• 7:04
  have
• 7:04
  that
• 7:05
  same
• 7:05
  fear
• 7:05
  of
• 7:05
  the
• 7:05
  Lord
• 7:06
  and
• 7:06
  desire
• 7:06
  for
• 7:06
  righteousness,
• 7:07
  and
• 7:07
  it
• 7:08
  would
• 7:08
  set
• 7:08
  them
• 7:08
  apart
• 7:08
  in
• 7:09
  this
• 7:09
  world.
• 7:09
  Seriously,
• 7:10
  why
• 7:10
  don't
• 7:11
  we
• 7:11
  have
• 7:11
  more
• 7:11
  sermons
• 7:11
  on
• 7:11
  this
• 7:11
  guy?
• 7:12
  in
• 7:12
  case
• 7:13
  you're
• 7:13
  curious
• 7:13
  about
• 7:14
  what
• 7:14
  those
• 7:14
  other
• 7:14
  everlasting
• 7:15
  covenants
• 7:16
  in
• 7:16
  scripture
• 7:16
  are.
• 7:16
  The
• 7:17
  first
• 7:17
  we've
• 7:17
  already
• 7:17
  read
• 7:18
  about
• 7:18
  it
• 7:18
  was
• 7:18
  the
• 7:18
  NOIC
• 7:19
  Covenant
• 7:20
  in
• 7:20
  Genesis
• 7:20
  nine.
• 7:21
  When
• 7:21
  God
• 7:21
  gave
• 7:21
  the
• 7:21
  sign
• 7:22
  of
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  rainbow.
• 7:22
  The
• 7:23
  second
• 7:23
  is
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  Abrahamic
• 7:24
  covenant
• 7:25
  in
• 7:25
  Genesis
• 7:25
  17
• 7:26
  with
• 7:26
  the
• 7:26
  sin
• 7:26
  of
• 7:27
  circumcision.
• 7:27
  This
• 7:28
  is
• 7:28
  the
• 7:28
  third,
• 7:29
  the
• 7:29
  priestly
• 7:29
  covenant,
• 7:30
  and
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  fourth
• 7:30
  will
• 7:30
  be
• 7:31
  coming
• 7:31
  with
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  Davidic
• 7:32
  covenant.
• 7:32
  And
• 7:32
  the
• 7:33
  fifth
• 7:33
  is
• 7:33
  the
• 7:33
  new
• 7:34
  covenant
• 7:34
  described
• 7:35
  in
• 7:35
  Jeremiah
• 7:35
  32
• 7:36
  40.
• 7:36
  In
• 7:37
  chapter
• 7:37
  26,
• 7:38
  God
• 7:38
  tells
• 7:38
  them
• 7:38
  to
• 7:39
  take
• 7:39
  a
• 7:39
  census
• 7:39
  of
• 7:40
  the
• 7:40
  second
• 7:40
  generation.
• 7:41
  I
• 7:41
  understand
• 7:42
  it
• 7:42
  takes
• 7:42
  a
• 7:42
  little
• 7:43
  bit
• 7:43
  to
• 7:43
  dig
• 7:43
  out
• 7:43
  some
• 7:44
  insights,
• 7:44
  but
• 7:44
  if
• 7:45
  we
• 7:45
  look
• 7:45
  for
• 7:45
  it,
• 7:45
  we'll
• 7:45
  see
• 7:45
  some
• 7:46
  really
• 7:46
  cool
• 7:46
  things
• 7:47
  amidst
• 7:47
  these
• 7:47
  numbers,
• 7:48
  the
• 7:48
  tribes
• 7:49
  on
• 7:49
  the
• 7:49
  southern
• 7:49
  side
• 7:50
  of
• 7:50
  the
• 7:50
  tabernacle
• 7:51
  decreased
• 7:51
  the
• 7:51
  most.
• 7:52
  The
• 7:52
  tribe
• 7:53
  of
• 7:53
  Simeon
• 7:53
  was
• 7:54
  37,000.
• 7:55
  Lower
• 7:55
  this
• 7:55
  time.
• 7:56
  And
• 7:56
  the
• 7:56
  tribe
• 7:56
  of
• 7:56
  Manasses
• 7:57
  has
• 7:57
  the
• 7:57
  most
• 7:57
  gain.
• 7:58
  It's
• 7:58
  up
• 7:58
  by
• 7:59
  20,000.
• 8:00
  Overall,
• 8:00
  it's
• 8:01
  only
• 8:01
  about
• 8:01
  2000
• 8:02
  different
• 8:02
  than
• 8:02
  the
• 8:02
  first
• 8:03
  census,
• 8:03
  and
• 8:04
  Judah
• 8:04
  still
• 8:04
  has
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  most
• 8:05
  i'm
• 8:05
  so
• 8:06
  encouraged
• 8:06
  by
• 8:06
  numbers
• 8:07
  26
• 8:07
  11
• 8:08
  where
• 8:08
  it
• 8:08
  tells
• 8:08
  us,
• 8:09
  but
• 8:09
  the
• 8:09
  sons
• 8:09
  of
• 8:09
  Cora
• 8:10
  did
• 8:10
  not
• 8:10
  die.
• 8:11
  This
• 8:11
  is
• 8:11
  referring
• 8:12
  to
• 8:12
  Cora's
• 8:12
  Rebellion
• 8:13
  when
• 8:13
  the
• 8:13
  Earth
• 8:14
  opened
• 8:14
  up
• 8:14
  its
• 8:14
  mouth
• 8:15
  and
• 8:15
  swallowed
• 8:15
  them
• 8:15
  up.
• 8:15
  But
• 8:16
  guess
• 8:16
  what?
• 8:16
  It's
• 8:16
  saying
• 8:17
  that
• 8:17
  the
• 8:17
  sons
• 8:18
  and
• 8:18
  the
• 8:18
  children
• 8:18
  were
• 8:18
  not
• 8:19
  punished
• 8:19
  for
• 8:20
  their
• 8:20
  father's
• 8:20
  sin.
• 8:21
  in
• 8:21
  the
• 8:21
  midst
• 8:21
  of
• 8:21
  all
• 8:22
  these
• 8:22
  numbers,
• 8:23
  we
• 8:23
  can
• 8:23
  see
• 8:23
  the
• 8:23
  grace
• 8:24
  and
• 8:24
  the
• 8:24
  goodness
• 8:24
  of
• 8:24
  God.
• 8:25
  At
• 8:25
  the
• 8:25
  end
• 8:25
  of
• 8:25
  this
• 8:26
  chapter,
• 8:26
  in
• 8:26
  verses
• 8:26
  52
• 8:27
  through
• 8:27
  54,
• 8:28
  the
• 8:28
  Lord
• 8:28
  spoke
• 8:29
  to
• 8:29
  Moses
• 8:29
  saying.
• 8:30
  Among
• 8:30
  these,
• 8:31
  the
• 8:31
  land
• 8:31
  shall
• 8:31
  be
• 8:31
  divided
• 8:32
  for
• 8:32
  inheritance
• 8:33
  according
• 8:33
  to
• 8:33
  the
• 8:33
  number
• 8:34
  of
• 8:34
  names.
• 8:34
  To
• 8:35
  a
• 8:35
  large
• 8:35
  tribe,
• 8:36
  you
• 8:36
  shall
• 8:36
  give
• 8:36
  a
• 8:36
  large
• 8:36
  inheritance
• 8:37
  and
• 8:38
  to
• 8:38
  a
• 8:38
  small
• 8:38
  tribe,
• 8:39
  you
• 8:39
  shall
• 8:39
  give
• 8:39
  a
• 8:39
  small
• 8:40
  inheritance.
• 8:40
  Every
• 8:41
  tribe
• 8:41
  shall
• 8:41
  be
• 8:41
  given
• 8:42
  its
• 8:42
  inheritance
• 8:43
  in
• 8:43
  proportion
• 8:44
  to
• 8:44
  its
• 8:44
  size.
• 8:45
  This
• 8:45
  is
• 8:45
  so
• 8:46
  fair
• 8:46
  and
• 8:46
  it
• 8:46
  reminds
• 8:47
  me
• 8:47
  about
• 8:47
  how
• 8:48
  our
• 8:48
  House
• 8:48
  of
• 8:48
  Representatives
• 8:49
  is
• 8:49
  set
• 8:49
  up
• 8:49
  and
• 8:50
  verses
• 8:50
  64
• 8:50
  and
• 8:51
  65,
• 8:52
  but
• 8:52
  among
• 8:52
  these,
• 8:53
  there
• 8:53
  was
• 8:53
  not
• 8:53
  one
• 8:54
  of
• 8:54
  those
• 8:54
  listed
• 8:54
  by
• 8:54
  Moses
• 8:55
  and
• 8:55
  Aaron.
• 8:55
  The
• 8:55
  priest
• 8:56
  who
• 8:56
  had
• 8:56
  listed
• 8:57
  the
• 8:57
  people
• 8:57
  of
• 8:58
  Israel
• 8:58
  in
• 8:58
  the
• 8:58
  wilderness
• 8:59
  of
• 8:59
  Sinai,
• 8:59
  for
• 9:00
  the
• 9:00
  Lord
• 9:00
  had
• 9:00
  said
• 9:00
  of
• 9:01
  them,
• 9:01
  they
• 9:01
  shall
• 9:02
  die
• 9:02
  in
• 9:02
  the
• 9:02
  wilderness.
• 9:03
  Now,
• 9:03
  one
• 9:03
  of
• 9:03
  them
• 9:04
  was
• 9:04
  left
• 9:04
  except
• 9:05
  Caleb,
• 9:05
  the
• 9:05
  son
• 9:06
  of
• 9:06
  Jah,
• 9:06
  and
• 9:06
  Joshua,
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  son
• 9:07
  of
• 9:07
  none.
• 9:08
  We
• 9:08
  serve
• 9:09
  a
• 9:09
  God
• 9:09
  who
• 9:09
  does
• 9:10
  what
• 9:10
  he
• 9:10
  says
• 9:10
  he
• 9:10
  will
• 9:11
  do,
• 9:11
  and
• 9:11
  he
• 9:11
  greatly
• 9:12
  rewards
• 9:12
  our
• 9:12
  faith.
• 9:13
  Let's
• 9:13
  pray.
• 9:14
  Heavenly
• 9:14
  Father,
• 9:15
  we
• 9:15
  thank
• 9:15
  you
• 9:16
  for
• 9:16
  these
• 9:16
  examples
• 9:17
  even
• 9:17
  when
• 9:17
  they
• 9:18
  were
• 9:18
  in
• 9:18
  a
• 9:18
  crooked
• 9:18
  and
• 9:18
  depraved
• 9:19
  generation,
• 9:20
  how
• 9:20
  they
• 9:20
  were
• 9:20
  zealous
• 9:21
  for
• 9:21
  your
• 9:21
  name.
• 9:22
  Teach
• 9:22
  us
• 9:22
  how
• 9:22
  to
• 9:22
  winsomely
• 9:23
  stand
• 9:23
  for
• 9:23
  you
• 9:24
  that
• 9:24
  our
• 9:24
  example
• 9:25
  could
• 9:25
  turn
• 9:25
  many
• 9:25
  away
• 9:26
  from
• 9:26
  iniquity
• 9:27
  And
• 9:27
  we
• 9:27
  pray
• 9:27
  that
• 9:27
  you
• 9:28
  would
• 9:28
  protect
• 9:28
  our
• 9:28
  lips
• 9:29
  and
• 9:29
  our
• 9:29
  children's
• 9:30
  lips
• 9:30
  from
• 9:30
  evil.
• 9:31
  May
• 9:31
  wisdom
• 9:32
  be
• 9:32
  on
• 9:32
  our
• 9:32
  tongues.
• 9:33
  Teach
• 9:33
  us
• 9:33
  to
• 9:33
  walk
• 9:34
  with
• 9:34
  you
• 9:34
  and
• 9:35
  peace
• 9:35
  and
• 9:35
  uprightness.
• 9:36
  We
• 9:36
  understand
• 9:37
  that's
• 9:38
  the
• 9:38
  fruit
• 9:38
  of
• 9:38
  dwelling
• 9:38
  with
• 9:39
  you,
• 9:39
  and
• 9:39
  we
• 9:39
  want
• 9:39
  it
• 9:39
  for
• 9:40
  our
• 9:40
  kids
• 9:40
  so
• 9:40
  much.
• 9:41
  We
• 9:41
  ask
• 9:41
  for
• 9:42
  protection
• 9:42
  for
• 9:42
  wherever
• 9:43
  you
• 9:43
  have
• 9:43
  them,
• 9:44
  whether
• 9:44
  they're
• 9:44
  still
• 9:44
  at
• 9:44
  home.
• 9:45
  Or
• 9:45
  being
• 9:45
  homeschooled
• 9:46
  or
• 9:46
  in
• 9:46
  private
• 9:47
  school,
• 9:47
  public
• 9:48
  school,
• 9:49
  or
• 9:49
  grown
• 9:49
  and
• 9:49
  on
• 9:49
  their
• 9:50
  own.
• 9:50
  Protect
• 9:51
  them
• 9:51
  Lord,
• 9:51
  and
• 9:51
  keep
• 9:52
  their
• 9:52
  hearts
• 9:52
  pure
• 9:52
  before
• 9:53
  you.
• 9:53
  Thank
• 9:53
  you
• 9:53
  Jesus,
• 9:54
  that
• 9:54
  you
• 9:54
  modeled
• 9:54
  righteousness
• 9:55
  so
• 9:55
  perfectly
• 9:56
  for
• 9:56
  us.
• 9:56
  It's
• 9:56
  in
• 9:57
  your
• 9:57
  holy
• 9:57
  name
• 9:57
  we
• 9:57
  pray.
• 9:58
  Amen.
