1
00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:03,500
Second Samuel chapter 12, here's
we're going to do. 

2
00:00:03,508 --> 00:00:06,500
We just, we just prayed. 
I want us to pray again, and 

3
00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:11,500
just submit every faculty to 
this moment and ask the Lord to 

4
00:00:11,500 --> 00:00:15,600
really help you allow this word 
to reach your heart, and ask the

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,800
Lord to help me bring it from my
heart to you. 

6
00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:20,400
Lord, we do. 
Thank you. 

7
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:23,300
We believe that you are here, 
that your spirit has been given 

8
00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:27,000
to the church for many reasons. 
And one of those reasons is that

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,100
there would be boldness and 
courage and clarity. 

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,300
Your word says that we each have
the anointing residing within us

11
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:38,300
to know what it is that you have
to say to us me that anointing 

12
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:42,800
come into action as we come to 
the Sacred Scriptures. 

13
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,900
May there be power. 
May there be even a sense of 

14
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:48,600
precision in our own lives and 
its application. 

15
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:52,900
It may Lord you be glorified in 
the faithfulness of the 

16
00:00:52,908 --> 00:00:55,600
Declaration and The Obedience of
the application. 

17
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,800
This is our desire and Jesus 
name, amen? 

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,300
Who was here last week? 
Who's your not last week? 

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,300
Okay, if you were here last 
week, I'm just going to do this 

20
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:12,200
for the sake of remembrance and 
to remind ourselves that Nathan 

21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,900
has been sent by God to approach
David. 

22
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:20,300
He came to David with a parable 
with a story and we dissected 

23
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:23,600
that story to try to understand 
the method and the message 

24
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,000
behind it. 
And I trust that if you were 

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,600
here, if you listen from abroad,
you benefited greatly from just 

26
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,500
the first few verses of this 
chapter. 

27
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:35,900
But now tonight we are 
transitioning from this story. 

28
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:41,300
This allegory to plain speech, 
Nathan is going to go from 

29
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:45,700
veiling, his message to 
unveiling the message, and it's 

30
00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:49,300
going to be sharp. 
It's going to be strong, it's 

31
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:53,100
going to be confrontational. 
It's going to be clear and 

32
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:56,300
trusting that from last week to 
this week. 

33
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:59,800
We will believe that what we've 
gained from, then we will gain 

34
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,400
even more. 
Now, as we come To this text, we

35
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,600
will not complete this chapter 
which is okay, but we will take 

36
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,000
our time to look at Nathan 
second. 

37
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,200
Message to David. 
That is tied into the very 

38
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,800
reason why he came to him in the
first place. 

39
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Now, before you and I read these
verses before, we actually look 

40
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,700
at this text you and I have to 
also be reminded of the package,

41
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:26,800
in which it was delivered him. 
Look back at verse 1. 

42
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,400
With me quickly, I want you to 
be reminded who was that sent 

43
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,300
Nathan, and the Lord sent Nathan
to David, the Lord. 

44
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,300
The Lord sent Nathan. 
Nathan was not just Israel's 

45
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:46,700
profit, at least one of them. 
Nathan was a personal friend to 

46
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:51,700
David, And the fact that the 
Lord chose this instrument to 

47
00:02:51,700 --> 00:02:56,200
approach David teaches us, 
something not just about Nathan 

48
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,700
but about God, God sends a 
friend. 

49
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,500
To David a close companion. 
And we know that David had 

50
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,100
Nathan and high esteem, because 
with one of the sun's that 

51
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:15,700
Nathan rather David will have 
with Bathsheba. 

52
00:03:15,700 --> 00:03:20,000
He names him, Nathan. 
He's going to name one of his 

53
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,200
sons. 
After this Prophet, even up to 

54
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,300
the end of David's life, when he
is on his deathbed, their Nathan

55
00:03:27,300 --> 00:03:30,600
is watching over him and 
assuring that things will be put

56
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,800
into place before he departs 
into Glory. 

57
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:37,300
Why? 
So Nathan is a close friend to 

58
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:42,400
David and the Lord hand-picked 
Nathan to deliver the message. 

59
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:44,700
Why? 
Because the Lord wanted to 

60
00:03:44,708 --> 00:03:50,900
approach David as a friend. 
The Lord is going to expose this

61
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:56,700
men sin and a very scathing way,
but the Lord did not come to 

62
00:03:56,700 --> 00:04:02,700
David his servant as an enemy. 
He came as a trusted friend. 

63
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:09,000
And I think that is filled with 
instruction for us when 

64
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:12,700
especially for those who are 
passionate about the honor of 

65
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:15,100
Jesus Christ. 
Especially for those who are 

66
00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:19,500
passionate about God's people, 
walking straight and walking, 

67
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:22,800
according to the will of God and
and have no issue approaching 

68
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,200
somebody in correcting them or 
rebuking them. 

69
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:29,200
Are you going not just with the 
love for the truth? 

70
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,900
But for the love, for the person
who's going to receive that 

71
00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:34,400
truth. 
That makes all the difference 

72
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,600
because God, here shows that he 
comes to restore, didn't come to

73
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,800
bring down, it doesn't come to 
eradicate, all hope it doesn't 

74
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,500
come to prove a point and to win
an argument. 

75
00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:49,800
He comes to win the Hart, he 
comes to win the person and if 

76
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,200
we would be instrument in the 
hands of God and restoring 

77
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,800
brothers and sisters back to the
truth, then realized that the 

78
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,200
Lord looks for those who love 
people, not just Doctrine, not 

79
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,800
just the all G, not, not just 
being right and being pure in 

80
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,200
your beliefs, or in your conduct
for that matter, but to love the

81
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,200
person that you're giving the 
truth, too. 

82
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,500
There's much more that we can 
say in that, but we will 

83
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:20,200
continue because we don't have 
much time, but as we come to 

84
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,500
these verses, remember, the 
package in which it is going to 

85
00:05:22,508 --> 00:05:25,600
be delivered in, remember the 
instrument that God chose to 

86
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,500
bring it through? 
And we are going to organize our

87
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:32,400
thoughts in these next verses in
three different categories. 

88
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:40,500
The first category is going to 
be the error before the sin, the

89
00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:44,200
error before the sin Nathan is 
going. 

90
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:48,600
To reveal an error that led to 
the downfall of David. 

91
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,900
That's the first category. 
The second category is going to 

92
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:57,300
be the ruling of the sin. 
God is going to pronounce 

93
00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:03,500
judgment on David, and he is 
going to determine the verdict. 

94
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:09,800
And the reason for this judgment
Lastly, the last category are 

95
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,300
the consequences after the sin. 
So we have the error before the 

96
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:18,000
sin, the ruling of the sin. 
And then we're going to look at 

97
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,700
the consequences that follow 
this sin. 

98
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,400
And so we look at the first 
category in verse 7. 

99
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,000
And what do we see, Nathan said 
to David? 

100
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:34,900
You are the man I don't know, 
there's a lot of instances in 

101
00:06:34,900 --> 00:06:37,000
the scripture where I would like
to be to see and witness. 

102
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,600
I don't think this is one of 
them, you can just imagine what 

103
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,400
happened to the atmosphere. 
In that moment when he comes 

104
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,200
with this nice little Sunday, 
school story of a sheep of a 

105
00:06:47,207 --> 00:06:51,000
lamb of a rich man of a poor man
and it stirs David and David is 

106
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,700
in the place of the judge as he 
is hearing this and then all for

107
00:06:54,700 --> 00:07:00,000
a sudden the tables turn The 
tables turn on David from being 

108
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,200
positioned as the arbitrator to 
now the perpetrator. 

109
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,800
And now he's removed from the 
judgement seat and now he stands

110
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,600
before the Judgment seat. 
And he stands before a holy God,

111
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:16,700
it all changed with these words.
You are the man in the Hebrews. 

112
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:21,000
Only two words. 
But here we see, you are the man

113
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:27,300
and Nathan doesn't take a break.
He continues by saying thus says

114
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:30,900
the Lord. 
The god of Israel. 

115
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,800
I anointed you King over Israel.
And I delivered you out of the 

116
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,800
hand of Saul and I gave you your
Masters house and your Masters 

117
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,500
wives into your arms and gave 
you the house of Israel and of 

118
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:47,500
Judah. 
And if this were to little, I 

119
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:54,200
would add to you as much more. 
Those two verses are under the 

120
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,100
category of the air before this 
in, if you were here in second 

121
00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:01,200
Samuel, 11. 
Where this all started when 

122
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,300
David was on the rooftop, you 
will remember that we dissected 

123
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:09,700
and examine the failures before 
the ultimate downward spiral 

124
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
there were things before that 
contributed to David's ultimate 

125
00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:17,700
crash. 
One of those things was the 

126
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:20,700
failure to deal with passions 
early on in his life. 

127
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,800
This is not just something that 
appeared out of nowhere. 

128
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,000
It was something that was fed 
and nurtured over time. 

129
00:08:26,700 --> 00:08:30,800
The failure to conquer idleness,
the failure to take heed to 

130
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,299
God's warnings. 
All these different failures 

131
00:08:33,299 --> 00:08:37,000
were cracks in the foundation of
David's faith, and an ultimately

132
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,900
crumbled when the temperature 
was just right. 

133
00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:43,100
But when you, and I come to the 
words of Nathan here, we 

134
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:46,600
realized that there is yet 
another flaw that he surfaces 

135
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,300
something that we didn't see 
before, but now comes to our 

136
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:55,300
attention, it's another serious 
problem, prior to the undoing of

137
00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:57,800
this man. 
Now, as you look at those two 

138
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,400
verses and you just look at the 
summary of what is being said, 

139
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:05,300
what is the indicator, what can 
we pinpoint and seeing what was 

140
00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:10,300
a problem in David's life before
ultimately a manifest into the 

141
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:16,500
series of sin? 
And the idea What's the error 

142
00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:26,300
that the Lord highlights? 
He had forgotten. 

143
00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:30,200
God, yes. 
But more specifically Look What 

144
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,100
the Lord is saying to him. 
He could have said you have 

145
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:36,100
forgotten me. 
I gave you. 

146
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:41,100
Your Masters house I gave you 
your Masters wives. 

147
00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:46,800
I made you King over Israel. 
I made you and I presided your 

148
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,600
over my people. 
You know what, I see here. 

149
00:09:51,300 --> 00:09:53,800
David not only lost sight of 
God. 

150
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:59,000
David lost sight of the Lord's 
personal dealings in his life. 

151
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:05,500
What God had given him. 
What God had protected him from 

152
00:10:05,700 --> 00:10:09,600
what God had provided him in 
essence. 

153
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,600
David had become over time 
unmindful and he'd become. 

154
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,100
Yes forgetful. 
But more importantly, 

155
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:25,200
ungrateful. for what the Lord 
had done in his life and this 

156
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,000
led to a character issue who 
would have ever thought, this is

157
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,900
so important who would have ever
thought that ingratitude would 

158
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:39,400
have led to adultery who would 
have ever imagined that this 

159
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,500
deficiency in so many people's 
spirituality that we don't see 

160
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:47,300
the danger of who would have 
ever thought that ingratitude 

161
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:53,000
would have led to infidelity And
that is not an exaggeration. 

162
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,400
That is not a subjective 
interpretation of this. 

163
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,100
That is a scriptural. 
Testimony from cover to cover 

164
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,700
that there is serious spiritual 
trouble headed for the person 

165
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,100
who refuses or is negligent in 
the practice of giving God 

166
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:14,200
continual. 
Thanks. when you read that ugly 

167
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,500
description of humanity in 
Romans chapter 1, all the 

168
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:23,900
Warped, perversion all the 
Craziness and people's behavior 

169
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:27,200
and their sexuality, all these 
different perversions, all these

170
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,300
different things, they all stem 
from Romans 1:21 people forget 

171
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:37,000
that, that, that a people forgot
or refuse rather to give honor 

172
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,500
to God glory to God. 
And what else? 

173
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,000
Thanks to him. 
They refused to give, thanks to 

174
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,000
God and that was the Gateway for
all these other things to come 

175
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,500
crashing in all these plagues 
all this idolatry and all this 

176
00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:58,200
covetousness were allowed to 
come in. 

177
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,700
We're permitted to come in due 
to one failure among different 

178
00:12:01,700 --> 00:12:04,400
failures but one key 
foundational issue. 

179
00:12:04,700 --> 00:12:11,700
A refusal to acknowledge God. 
And so, what Thanksgiving does, 

180
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:14,800
you know what it does? 
It acknowledges God as The 

181
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:21,000
Sovereign provider, protector, 
positioner, Of everything in our

182
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,300
lives. 
That's what it does and it 

183
00:12:25,300 --> 00:12:30,000
causes us to joyfully admit and 
accept that everything you and I

184
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,700
have has been granted by a good 
father who knows exactly what we

185
00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:38,300
need for our joy and ultimately 
his glory. 

186
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,100
That is what gratitude does, 
it's more than just shooting 

187
00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:47,400
off, empty words just because 
it's the polite thing to do it. 

188
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,800
Gratitude is much more 
significant than making our 

189
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,900
children seem appreciative of 
things outside of themselves. 

190
00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:59,000
No, it will keep you in line. 
It will keep God in the place, 

191
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,400
his rightful place in our 
affections and in our worship 

192
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,900
and in our understanding of the 
events that take place in our 

193
00:13:04,908 --> 00:13:07,800
lives. 
And that is exactly what David 

194
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:13,300
is missing here. 
He did not keep before him, the 

195
00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:16,400
goodness of God. 
Personally, not not even just 

196
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,500
objectively what he's done. 
Universally that's important. 

197
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,600
God was specific. 
And I believe, the reason that 

198
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,700
God was specific here is also to
imply that we must be specific 

199
00:13:26,700 --> 00:13:30,700
with our Thanksgiving, like, 
detailed with what it is, that 

200
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:34,600
we are so thankful for or else. 
It won't have the full effect 

201
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,000
that it desires to have. 
But something else happens here 

202
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,500
in verse and it's in the last 
part of what the Lord says 

203
00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:44,300
before he continues, look at the
last phrase and if this were to 

204
00:13:44,300 --> 00:13:48,100
little, I would add to you as 
much more. 

205
00:13:49,900 --> 00:13:53,700
As much more. 
So more than just saying, David,

206
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:59,900
you were capable of doing this 
because you forgot how good I've

207
00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:03,900
been to you. 
You do not remember what it, 

208
00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:06,200
what it is that I've done for 
you more than that. 

209
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,300
He says, here that you've also 
failed to realize that 

210
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:15,400
everything you need is in me. 
See, the thing that led Davidson

211
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,400
was not just the ingratitude 
that ingratitude was step one. 

212
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,900
Step two was, I can find good 
outside of God. 

213
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,700
I can add value to my life, 
though. 

214
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:30,800
The value that is promised to me
is contrary to the contract that

215
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,800
I have with God. 
And it's as though, the Lord is 

216
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,700
saying David. 
If you if you really felt like 

217
00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:41,900
you were lacking if you really 
felt like you were missing 

218
00:14:41,900 --> 00:14:45,000
something, why didn't you come 
to me? 

219
00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:49,000
Why didn't you come to me? 
Because here's the promise of 

220
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,100
God that when you do honestly 
come to him. 

221
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:54,900
Even with that sense of 
irritation and frustration and 

222
00:14:54,900 --> 00:14:57,800
emptiness and loneliness. 
Whatever the case may be the 

223
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,700
Lord based on this and many 
other promises, the Lord assures

224
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:05,400
us that he will provide exactly 
what we need to experience 

225
00:15:05,500 --> 00:15:08,500
wholeness again. 
Exactly what we need. 

226
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,300
If that is not true of our God, 
then we're all doomed. 

227
00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:16,500
I assure you that we will all 
have our heads stuck in empty, 

228
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:19,200
broken dirty, cisterns for the 
rest of our lives. 

229
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,800
If this is not truth, if 
satisfied. 

230
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:24,800
Us faction in. 
God is a theory and not an 

231
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,200
experience. 
Then go eat and drink and be 

232
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,900
merry, we're just we're playing 
pretend here. 

233
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,900
But God's not playing pretend. 
He looks at his servant through 

234
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:38,500
Nathan's eyes. 
And he says, why didn't you just

235
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:41,300
come to me? 
Why didn't you just come to me? 

236
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:45,100
See, David for a moment believed
that if I'm with Bathsheba 

237
00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:48,400
something good will happen? 
I will know something that God 

238
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,200
could not offer, and that's 
precisely what James is 

239
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,900
referring to. 
In James 116. 

240
00:15:52,900 --> 00:15:54,900
You don't have to turn there. 
Do not be deceived. 

241
00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:59,400
My beloved Brothers for every 
good and perfect gift comes from

242
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,500
above. 
Again, that's not only to teach 

243
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:06,200
that we are to give God all the 
glory for every good and perfect

244
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,800
thing. 
That's also to convey that 

245
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,300
everything that you think is 
good and perfect will only come 

246
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:14,800
from above. 
You're not going to find it 

247
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,100
anywhere else, it's going to be 
sourced in God. 

248
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:19,300
It's going to be coming from 
God, it's going to be delivered 

249
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,000
by God and it's different. 
The the gifts are different, but

250
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,200
the giver is the same. 
If you go to anybody else, 

251
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,100
especially for those who are 
against God, contrary to his 

252
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:31,900
will then you're just inviting 
trouble into your life. 

253
00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:34,800
Now, it's worth mentioning as a 
side, note that some people have

254
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,300
trouble with what the Lord had 
said to David. 

255
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,300
What is troubling in that verse 
in verse a what sticks out to 

256
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:44,600
you something like really Lord, 
you are the one behind that any 

257
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:50,700
idea. 
Yes, did you hear it? 

258
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,700
Lord, you gave David. 
The plurality of wives that he 

259
00:16:57,700 --> 00:17:01,200
had. 
In fact, Muslims will use this 

260
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:06,300
against Christians to try to 
prove that our God accepts and 

261
00:17:06,300 --> 00:17:10,400
even condones and even provides 
a multiplicity of romantic 

262
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,300
relationships. 
And this, this this would be 

263
00:17:14,300 --> 00:17:19,400
harder to defend if the Lord 
isolated that statement and 

264
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,400
removed everything else, right? 
If he had said, why did you do 

265
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,599
this? 
I gave you multiple wives, then 

266
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,400
it's very difficult to see 
different interpretation other 

267
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,000
than you could have been 
satisfied with the roster of 

268
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,800
women you had in your Palace. 
Why did you go find somebody 

269
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,600
else's? 
And that's how even some 

270
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,000
Christians interpret this and 
they just appeal to mystery. 

271
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,700
I just I guess God, allow 
polygamy for a season and now he

272
00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:46,300
doesn't not True. 
Add to that, there's no sense of

273
00:17:46,300 --> 00:17:50,400
immediate judgment upon David or
anybody else in this time for 

274
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,100
that matter, for their different
relationships. 

275
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:55,900
And so now you're in some kind 
of a dilemma right? 

276
00:17:56,500 --> 00:18:02,500
Not so read it carefully. 
I gave you your Masters house 

277
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,400
and your Masters wives. 
Here's how people read it and I 

278
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,700
gave you your Masters house and 
your wives. 

279
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:16,800
Did he say, why? 
Good, your Masters wives. 

280
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:24,200
Who was David's master? 
Saul Saul? 

281
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:28,700
See again, if you leave that 
part in isolation, you might 

282
00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:31,000
have a case. 
But the fact that that statement

283
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:36,200
is preceded and followed by 
other elements that focus in on 

284
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:41,000
what saw had and the transfer of
Sol's possessions over to David 

285
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,300
on now, it makes sense. 
What the Lord is saying, is all 

286
00:18:45,300 --> 00:18:50,100
that, Saul had his kingdom, his 
authority, his possessions 

287
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:54,000
everything. 
I gave it to you without your 

288
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,000
effort without out your dabbling
without your intervention. 

289
00:18:58,100 --> 00:19:01,900
I'm the one who gave you the 
authority that you're enjoying. 

290
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,000
The Graces the gifts, all these 
things, I'm giving it over to 

291
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,200
you. 
And so the relationship with 

292
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,600
these Masters wives is something
that was common in that culture 

293
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,900
that when there is a succeeding 
king or a kingdom, you would 

294
00:19:14,900 --> 00:19:19,600
even have the previous owner so 
to speak and who ever lived with

295
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,600
him to be given over to the new 
king. 

296
00:19:22,700 --> 00:19:25,600
And so these women were just 
accommodations to the Palace. 

297
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,800
There is no indication that 
David had any sexual relations 

298
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,800
or married any of Saul's woman, 
they were just there. 

299
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:35,500
They were just there occupying, 
something and David had 

300
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:39,600
responsibility over them. 
There is no such thing as David 

301
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,300
being given multiple wives, by a
holy God, who had instituted, 

302
00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:44,700
what marriage was from the 
beginning. 

303
00:19:45,300 --> 00:19:47,000
That makes sense. 
Keep that. 

304
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,500
In mind when somebody tries to 
convince you of polygamy, for 

305
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:54,800
whatever strange reason. 
They are behind the sin. 

306
00:19:56,300 --> 00:19:59,800
If you want to know ultimate 
protection, if you want to have 

307
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,100
a flood gate against Temptation 
and covetousness and all these 

308
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,300
ugly things be thankful always 
even when it's hard to be. 

309
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,400
I can assure you, if you are 
living in America, you can have 

310
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,900
a list of 100 things to be 
thankful for every single day. 

311
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,600
Does it matter how difficult 
things are? 

312
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,600
Give God that do and watch. 
I will happen to your heart 

313
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,200
failed to do that. 
And I'm going to tell you from 

314
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,000
this point on, it will get very 
very interesting in terms of 

315
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,700
what you will be attracted to In
this life, they are behind this.

316
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:36,300
And let's go to the second 
credit category, the ruling of 

317
00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:39,100
the sin. 
Verse 9. 

318
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:44,300
Why have you despise the word of
the Lord to do? 

319
00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:48,600
What is evil in his sight? 
You have struck down Uriah. 

320
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,500
The hittite with the sword. 
And I've taken his wife to be 

321
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:57,700
your wife and have killed him 
with the sword of the ammonites.

322
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:04,400
In these verses you and I will 
see how the Lord judges sin, how

323
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,500
he judges. 
And we know, he judges sin but 

324
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:09,800
how does he judge sin? 
How did he determine someone's 

325
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,000
verdict? 
What does he look for? 

326
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,800
What kind of evidence is he 
constantly bringing before us? 

327
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:19,000
And that's important to know 
because man's Judgment of sin 

328
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,400
man's condemnation of wrong. 
And what he often Praises his 

329
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,800
skewed and Compares it to what 
God prizes. 

330
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,300
And what he, what he Does not 
approve of. 

331
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:33,100
And the the Lord being the judge
of all the Earth. 

332
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,100
Calls us to understand what it 
is, exactly. 

333
00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:40,200
He is judging And what using I 
see here in the first question 

334
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,500
is important, why have you 
despise the word of the Lord? 

335
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:47,800
Why have you despise the word of
the Lord? 

336
00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:51,600
The first thing that the Lord 
brings up in the ruling of this 

337
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,600
man's sin, is his attitude 
towards the word of God. 

338
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,800
Now, it is true. 
That David prove to despise the 

339
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,100
word of the Lord by breaking the
law. 

340
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:07,300
That's obvious But can we not 
say that David already had this 

341
00:22:07,300 --> 00:22:10,300
defiant attitude towards the 
word of God before? 

342
00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:12,700
Even he committed the sin. 
It was premeditated. 

343
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,100
It's obvious that in his 
contemplation, he cancelled out,

344
00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:19,100
totally God's opinion on the 
matter. 

345
00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:23,400
And so what led to this in was a
Defiance of the word of God. 

346
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,600
It wasn't just proven after 
everything happened. 

347
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,200
The seed of it was there, it's 
the very thing that encouraged 

348
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,900
him to break God's law. 
And that's important for us to 

349
00:22:32,900 --> 00:22:36,000
realize because the Lord did not
criticize David and say you did 

350
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,100
not know the word of the Lord. 
He already proved earlier by 

351
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,700
referring to Exodus 22:1 that he
knew the word of the Lord. 

352
00:22:43,700 --> 00:22:46,400
If you stole the Sheep you got 
to give back for that's in the 

353
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,900
law. 
So he knew the word of the Lord,

354
00:22:49,900 --> 00:22:56,400
the issue here is the attitude. 
And that means for us, that the 

355
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,600
estimation of the written word 
of God will ultimately determine

356
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,200
our submission to what it calls 
for our convictions around. 

357
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,900
This things will determine our 
conduct, it will not the 

358
00:23:09,900 --> 00:23:13,900
knowledge of it, your conviction
behind what you acquire, as 

359
00:23:13,900 --> 00:23:18,100
knowledge that is what will be 
the driver's seat of where we go

360
00:23:18,100 --> 00:23:20,600
in our growth and godliness, or 
in the other direction. 

361
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,500
And one way to have a high view 
of the word of God, if you 

362
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:27,300
really want to see the word of 
God, for what it is and allowed 

363
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:30,600
the Brilliance of it to have an 
effect on your soul, then you 

364
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,600
got to see what it says of 
itself and then believe it, can 

365
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,400
I show you how in this case, 
David failed to see the word of 

366
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,500
God for How Great and Mighty. 
It was look at verse 10 again. 

367
00:23:42,300 --> 00:23:46,000
Now, therefore the sword shall 
never depart from your house. 

368
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:51,200
Now look what he says, because 
you have despised me. 

369
00:23:52,900 --> 00:23:56,500
Verse 9. 
He says why have you despised 

370
00:23:56,500 --> 00:23:58,900
the word of the Lord? 
The Lord is still speaking of 

371
00:23:58,908 --> 00:24:01,900
verse 10. 
And then he goes on to say the 

372
00:24:01,900 --> 00:24:06,400
sword will never depart from 
your house because you despised 

373
00:24:06,700 --> 00:24:11,600
me. 
Here's the conclusion, you put 

374
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,400
those two statements together 
and this is what you have to 

375
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,200
despise. 
God's word is to despise God 

376
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,400
himself. 
To despise God's word is to 

377
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:24,500
despise himself. 
People have this strange idea 

378
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:29,400
that those two things are 
mutually exclusive that I can 

379
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,300
have my personal relationship 
with God, and God is pleased 

380
00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:33,800
with me. 
And he's happy with me and all 

381
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,900
these different things. 
And yet, they have zero regard 

382
00:24:36,900 --> 00:24:40,200
for the divine revelation that 
has been made available to all 

383
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,100
of us. 
With Nathan reveals shears that 

384
00:24:44,700 --> 00:24:47,900
you've despised. 
Not just the law, but the law 

385
00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:51,400
Giver because you cannot 
separate those two things. 

386
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,600
When a person says that they 
desire to know. 

387
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,400
God, do you know how you measure
that? 

388
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:57,800
What do they do with the word of
God? 

389
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,200
You read it, you study it, you 
examine it. 

390
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,400
You cherish you memorize it, you
talk about it. 

391
00:25:03,700 --> 00:25:09,200
Is that not right? 
Sure, in the beginning was the 

392
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,800
word and the Word was with God 
and the Word was God. 

393
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,200
Yes. 
You can't separate those two 

394
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,800
realities. 
You can't even separate the word

395
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,400
in the spirit. 
Jesus says, my words are spirit 

396
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,000
and life. 
So these people say, I'm not a, 

397
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:21,500
I'm not a word person. 
I'm a holy spirit person. 

398
00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:26,700
What are you talking about? 
But you see here among many 

399
00:25:26,700 --> 00:25:30,300
other things, we have another 
testimony that the the very 

400
00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:34,900
object in your hands right now. 
Is directly correlated to the 

401
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:38,500
person who gave it to us. 
So when a person says I want to 

402
00:25:38,508 --> 00:25:40,400
know the will of God well okay 
if you want to know the will of 

403
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,300
God then you'll take the time to
discover what his will is it's 

404
00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:47,100
not just some mystery thing that
you just kind of skip through 

405
00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:49,500
life with and interpret matters 
in your own hands. 

406
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:53,400
No no what a person says or 
claims that they are faithful to

407
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,200
God. 
Then they will equally have a 

408
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,500
view of the ultimate authority 
of the word of God. 

409
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,700
Show me a person's response and 
A ship to the word and I have 

410
00:26:04,700 --> 00:26:07,800
the substantial evidence to know
their walk with God. 

411
00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:12,600
The simple as that you can't 
separate those things, doesn't 

412
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,600
matter how beautiful they sing. 
Does it. 

413
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,000
Matter how emotional they are 
about spiritual realities. 

414
00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:24,300
The word, it's the word. 
You've not just despise the word

415
00:26:24,300 --> 00:26:27,100
of the Lord. 
You've despised the Lord. 

416
00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:31,800
David It's not draw you closer 
to the scriptures. 

417
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,400
I hope it does because this is 
the means by which we come to 

418
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:40,000
know our God and the Lords, 
indictment of David sins here. 

419
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,600
Perhaps we've noticed that there
was a particular summary because

420
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,100
when we read second Samuel 11, 
it was an extensive play, 

421
00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:52,200
Playbook of his craftiness and 
his scheme to sin, but when the 

422
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,800
Lord brings it to him, he 
summarizes it and just a verse 

423
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:01,200
or two. 
Because he sees pass through it 

424
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,700
pass through what the goal of 
David's ambition is second, 

425
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:07,300
Samuel 11 is really obvious. 
He wanted to distance himself as

426
00:27:07,300 --> 00:27:13,100
much as possible, from being A 
suspicious candidate for 

427
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:17,000
bathsheba's pregnancy and for 
the death of Uriah. 

428
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,200
He wanted to cover the tracks 
and he want to remove himself as

429
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,300
much as possible. 
So he gets job involved. 

430
00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:24,400
He gives them instructions to 
put you right in the front 

431
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:25,900
lines. 
He has the ammonites kill him, 

432
00:27:25,900 --> 00:27:29,500
make it look like an accident 
instead of an assassination and 

433
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:34,100
so with all of that the Lord 
comes now and directly says you 

434
00:27:34,100 --> 00:27:36,800
have killed him. 
You did it? 

435
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,900
Was in the ammonites. 
It wasn't a thing of War wasn't 

436
00:27:41,900 --> 00:27:43,600
joab. 
It wasn't anything other than 

437
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:48,000
the fact that you did it And 
that's important if we want to 

438
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,600
realize how the judge of the 
earth judges and how he will 

439
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,800
judge the world and know this, 
that so many people attempt to 

440
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:58,500
justify their wrong or lighten, 
the burden on their conscience 

441
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:02,600
by doing what by manipulating 
circumstances. 

442
00:28:02,700 --> 00:28:08,700
So that they are not the direct 
agents of the evil. so they 

443
00:28:08,700 --> 00:28:12,900
hire, they trick, they lie and 
they send, and they pay, and 

444
00:28:12,900 --> 00:28:14,900
they do all these things, 
because there's something 

445
00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:18,500
deceitful about our hearts that 
says, if I am not the, the 

446
00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:21,300
player holding the ball, if I'm 
just calling the shots from the 

447
00:28:21,300 --> 00:28:27,500
sidelines, then surely, I am not
as guilty as an accomplice From 

448
00:28:27,500 --> 00:28:29,000
an accomplice, another main 
actor. 

449
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,800
Surely my guilt is not as severe
and the Lord sees passed through

450
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,500
all that trickery, all the 
exploitation, And he puts the 

451
00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:39,500
pieces together. 
The all-knowing one and knows 

452
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:43,100
exactly the source, who knows 
exactly who is guilty he sees 

453
00:28:43,100 --> 00:28:46,600
past the, the facade and 
everything else that we try to 

454
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,200
deceive people with and he says,
you are the man. 

455
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,400
You're the man. 
Now, another thing that I see 

456
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,300
here is that David's Grievous 
sin, according to the heart of 

457
00:28:58,300 --> 00:28:59,800
God, that is grieved. 
Look what he says here. 

458
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,500
At the end of verse 9 and have 
killed them with the sword of 

459
00:29:02,500 --> 00:29:05,700
the ammonites. 
He brings that up. 

460
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:10,400
What grieved God's heart? 
Was that David cooperated with 

461
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,100
the Enemy? 
with the enemies of Israel with 

462
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:18,300
the enemies of the god of Israel
to kill who one of God's people 

463
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,000
to harm one of God's Own and not
just anybody a faithful man like

464
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,400
Uriah And so the Lord sees it as
a terrible thing, pay attention 

465
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:33,300
to this, when the people of God 
partner with the world to do 

466
00:29:33,300 --> 00:29:36,800
damage to the people of God. 
How is that possible today? 

467
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,700
I don't have a sword. 
We don't go to war, we don't 

468
00:29:38,700 --> 00:29:41,700
have ammonites. 
Oh, there's so many indications.

469
00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:43,500
An example of it. 
But you remember, I brought this

470
00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:48,400
up, not too long ago, when Paul 
was overwhelmed almost by the 

471
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,200
idea that a Believer was going 
out to those who have no 

472
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,100
standing in the church to 
determine Over another believer.

473
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,100
Is that any different than David
hiring? 

474
00:29:59,100 --> 00:30:02,000
The sort of the ammonites to 
kill one of the Israelites? 

475
00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:07,300
How is it that you are going to 
those who are not righteous to 

476
00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:12,500
determine the fate of the 
righteous better to take a loss?

477
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:16,800
Do you not trust in the wisdom 
of my word to determine and 

478
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,900
settle disputes? 
Do you not have any fear of God?

479
00:30:20,900 --> 00:30:23,700
To realize that there is a 
watching world that wants to see

480
00:30:23,700 --> 00:30:25,800
where I were different. 
And what we have to offer is 

481
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,300
different and that is just one 
example of many how it is 

482
00:30:29,300 --> 00:30:35,200
possible to hire the sword of 
those outside of the camp of God

483
00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:38,300
to the damage to those who 
reside in our own camp. 

484
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,500
So we see here that there are 
many examples and possibilities 

485
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:44,800
of how we can grieve God. 
And one of the ways that we 

486
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,700
grieve God is that when we get 
the world involved, with the 

487
00:30:47,700 --> 00:30:52,100
Affairs of the church with the 
people of God, it's serious. 

488
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:55,500
And he takes it into account, 
and he will discipline those who

489
00:30:55,500 --> 00:31:01,300
have no fear in this regard. 
We looked at the error behind 

490
00:31:01,300 --> 00:31:05,100
the sin. 
We looked at part, the ruling of

491
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:08,300
the sin and now we look at the 
consequences that followed the 

492
00:31:08,308 --> 00:31:11,200
sin and that's in the next few 
verses here. 

493
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:17,200
In verse 11, thus says the Lord 
Behold, I will raise up evil 

494
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,200
against you out of your own 
house. 

495
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,600
And I will take your wives 
before your eyes and give them 

496
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,800
to your neighbor and he shall 
lie with your wives in the sight

497
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:31,200
of his son of this son for you 
did it secretly, but I will do 

498
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,500
this thing before all Israel and
before the sun. 

499
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,300
We're going to look at David's 
response in a moment, but let's 

500
00:31:41,300 --> 00:31:44,900
break this down. 
We see here that the punishment 

501
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000
of the Kings evil is threefold 
depending on how you break it 

502
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,600
down, and the division is very 
obvious. 

503
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,800
When you look at verse 10, the 
first thing is this, therefore, 

504
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,100
the sword shall never depart 
from your house, and we've 

505
00:31:57,100 --> 00:32:00,800
touched on that that from this 
chapter, moving forward to the 

506
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,000
rest of this book. 
Even into First Kings chapter 

507
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,300
one, there will be internal 
strife to the point of death 

508
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,000
until David himself dies. 
And even after that, and we saw 

509
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,100
that with four of his own Sons, 
right? 

510
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,100
Who were the sons again? 
As a quiz. 

511
00:32:17,700 --> 00:32:19,100
Absalom is one? 
Yes. 

512
00:32:19,900 --> 00:32:21,300
I'm known as the one. 
Yes. 

513
00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:25,700
I didn't, I just a third and 
who's the last, the unnamed 

514
00:32:25,700 --> 00:32:27,200
baby? 
That's going to be inflicted 

515
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,000
with a disease in the next few 
verses. 

516
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,000
So the Lord even took David's 
measurement of judgment when he 

517
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,400
said that sheep should be given 
over with fourfold. 

518
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,300
Restitution, you want to you for
fold, then, here's four foot. 

519
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:40,800
I'm going to kill four of your 
Lambs. 

520
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,600
And four of the sons would 
receive Bloodshed and experience

521
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,100
Bloodshed you so Bloodshed you 
reap bloodshed. 

522
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:55,000
The second thing here that we 
see is that there would be evil 

523
00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:57,500
against you out of your own 
house. 

524
00:32:57,500 --> 00:32:59,500
Now isn't that the same thing, 
not necessarily? 

525
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:01,600
When do you believe that was 
fulfilled? 

526
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,600
Because it is fulfilled and 
found in the scriptures. 

527
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,000
When do we see evil arising 
within David's house to come 

528
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,000
against David himself? 
Good Absalom, the Revolt of his 

529
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,000
son who stole the hearts of the 
nation of Israel and himself to 

530
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,100
usurp the authority of the 
throne to capture the throne and

531
00:33:18,100 --> 00:33:20,200
to push his father out of the 
boundary. 

532
00:33:20,300 --> 00:33:23,000
Is of Israel and in declares 
civil war against him. 

533
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:29,800
So, David himself with know, the
pain of betrayal, David himself 

534
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,200
with taste, his own medicine of 
betrayal, not just Bloodshed, 

535
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,100
but betrayal. 
And lastly, we see something 

536
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:40,000
else mentioned here. 
It says that he, the neighbor 

537
00:33:40,300 --> 00:33:44,600
shall lie with your own wives 
and the sight of this son. 

538
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,600
You did it privately. 
I'm going to make this a public 

539
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,600
matter. 
When was that fulfilled? 

540
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,200
Good Absalom. 
Now I want you to see with your 

541
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,900
own eyes to see how precise the 
judgments of God are. 

542
00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:03,300
Look at 2nd Samuel here and 
verse 21 of chapter 16. 

543
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:14,000
Fast forward a few chapters. 
Look at 2nd Samuel 1621 I 

544
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:19,600
thoughtful said to Absalom. 
He said to Absalom. 

545
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,900
Go into your father's 
concubines, whom he has left to 

546
00:34:24,900 --> 00:34:28,800
keep the house and all Israel 
will hear what you have made 

547
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,600
yourself a stench that you have 
made yourself a stench to your 

548
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,800
father and the hands of all who 
are with, you will be 

549
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,600
strengthened. 
No, hesitation absalom's part. 

550
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,699
Look at verse 22. 
So they pitched a tent for 

551
00:34:41,699 --> 00:34:44,500
Absalom on the roof. 
And Absalom went into his 

552
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:46,500
father's. 
Concubines in the sight of all 

553
00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:51,900
Israel, very despicable public 
demonstration of one's depravity

554
00:34:51,900 --> 00:34:55,400
and disrespect, but it was a 
fulfillment of Prophecy was just

555
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,700
an eerily coincidental thing. 
God in his Providence, use the 

556
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:04,800
means of absalom's rebellion to 
chastise his servant David and 

557
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,300
it was so precise. 
Reread verse 22, what do we 

558
00:35:08,300 --> 00:35:10,300
read? 
So, they pitched a tent for 

559
00:35:10,300 --> 00:35:13,800
Absalom wear. 
Isn't that where all started? 

560
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:22,800
It all started on a roof. 
And here God is chastising even 

561
00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:25,900
on a roof. 
And it's even more, more 

562
00:35:25,900 --> 00:35:28,800
specific than that. 
You guys, if you're a few 

563
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,200
Maranatha school, will remember 
this, who was at the I felt 

564
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,700
full, is he a random counselor 
to David good? 

565
00:35:34,700 --> 00:35:36,600
He's not. 
Can I show you who he is? 

566
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,200
If you don't know for those who 
know, don't say, it don't ruin. 

567
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,000
The surprise. 
For those who don't know, if you

568
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,000
want to know who a he fell for 
Liz and you have to go to 2nd 

569
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,300
Samuel. 23:2 second Samuel 23 
briefly. 

570
00:35:48,700 --> 00:35:51,600
In this chapter, you have a list
of the Mighty Men of David. 

571
00:35:54,700 --> 00:35:58,900
Second Samuel 23. 
Look here down verse 34 and you 

572
00:35:58,900 --> 00:36:05,000
will see exactly who this man is
thoughtful is We read in verse 

573
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,200
34 at La Follette, the son of 
Akash by of Makkah. 

574
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,500
And I am the son of a heath 
offal. 

575
00:36:12,700 --> 00:36:18,600
So this mantle ayam is ranked 
among the Mighty Men of David. 

576
00:36:19,100 --> 00:36:27,000
This Alliance sound familiar Our
names important in the Bible. 

577
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,200
Oh yes there's a holy spirit, 
waste any word in the 

578
00:36:30,207 --> 00:36:32,300
scriptures. 
Absolutely not. 

579
00:36:33,700 --> 00:36:38,600
Well, I am the son of a heath. 
Offal was one of the Mighty Men 

580
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,200
of David second Samuel 11 again 
where it all started. 

581
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,500
Second Samuel, 11, Look at verse
2. 

582
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:54,400
It happened late one afternoon 
when David arose from his couch,

583
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,500
and was walking on the roof of 
the King's house that he saw 

584
00:36:57,500 --> 00:37:00,800
from the roof, a woman bathing. 
And the woman was very beautiful

585
00:37:00,900 --> 00:37:03,200
and David sent and inquired 
about the woman. 

586
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:10,500
And one said, is this not 
Bathsheba the daughter of lion. 

587
00:37:12,100 --> 00:37:17,000
The wife of Uriah, the hittite. 
A lion was one of the Mighty Men

588
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:23,400
of David al-ayam was also the 
father of Bathsheba a lion was 

589
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:30,300
the son of A heath offal a heath
olfa was bathsheba's Grandpa. 

590
00:37:33,500 --> 00:37:35,500
Is it? 
No wonder why he partnered with 

591
00:37:35,500 --> 00:37:42,100
Absalom to kill David. 
You touched my granddaughter and

592
00:37:42,100 --> 00:37:46,800
you killed her husband? 
I will make sure to crush you 

593
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:52,500
into fine powder. so I thought 
for knew about it and you're 

594
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:55,900
going to discover very important
lessons about bitterness we all 

595
00:37:55,900 --> 00:38:00,000
will when we come to a heath 
offal in the coming weeks So we 

596
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,400
see here, how precise God's 
chastisement is. 

597
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,800
Now we come back and we look at 
the list of things that David 

598
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,000
would have to endure. 
And part of us, part of us, 

599
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,700
looks at that. 
And we kind of, we kind of say, 

600
00:38:12,700 --> 00:38:16,200
yes, David deserves. 
He deserves to be disciplined, 

601
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,800
but this seems kind of intense. 
I mean he's going to endure for 

602
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,000
the rest of his life, one thing.
After the next it's not going to

603
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:30,400
be easy for David from this time
on And we might wonder is this 

604
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,500
too much. 
And I'll tell you the answer by 

605
00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:36,900
the end of the Bible study, but 
I also want to make mention of 

606
00:38:36,900 --> 00:38:39,100
this. 
We can debate all we want about 

607
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:41,600
what's going on here, but one 
thing is for certain from cover 

608
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,100
to cover. 
There is this law at work and 

609
00:38:44,107 --> 00:38:48,800
it's still at work today. 
That sins have different 

610
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,800
consequences, some are more 
lasting, some are not as 

611
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,800
permanent. 
And though, we might be able to 

612
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,300
predict some of the 
ramifications of our trespasses,

613
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:07,100
ultimately it is unpredictable 
to determine the full sequence 

614
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:13,000
of what our sin can produce in 
our lives, the outcome of it and

615
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,500
I think, yeah, again, you can, 
you can determine some level of 

616
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:18,800
it, the position of the person, 
the ministry of the person, the 

617
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,500
role of that, all these 
different things, but really, 

618
00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:25,100
you can't figure it out. 
And I think that puts a whole 

619
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,900
Holy fear in us, that should put
a fear in us because we want to 

620
00:39:29,900 --> 00:39:33,600
try to plan our sin and how we 
can limit the pain. 

621
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,000
We know that it's going to hurt 
things, we know it's going to 

622
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,700
hurt us, we know that and we try
to isn't that in a part of are 

623
00:39:38,700 --> 00:39:41,800
scheming to try to try to 
restrict as much of the 

624
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:46,000
collateral damage as possible. 
And God gives us so many 

625
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,600
examples of how that is not 
controllable on our part. 

626
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,300
And I want to show it to you. 
One example, I mean there's so 

627
00:39:51,300 --> 00:39:53,500
many examples, but let me give 
you one example. 

628
00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:56,600
The thing that came to mind was 
the ten plagues of Egypt saying,

629
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,600
huh, ten plagues of Egypt, why? 
So many lessons about the 10 

630
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,400
plagues? 
And one of the lessons that I 

631
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,400
took from it personally, was 
that the effects of each plagues

632
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,100
were different. 
Not always describe, but in some

633
00:40:09,100 --> 00:40:11,000
cases different from one 
another. 

634
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,200
So the plagues were not just 
different, but even the result 

635
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,800
of the Plagues on Egypt were 
different and I believe that's a

636
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,600
picture because those plagues 
were the acts of Judgment of God

637
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,200
Force. 
Pharaohs Rebellion. 

638
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,400
It's a picture of what happens 
with arson at times. 

639
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,900
Can I show it to you? 
Here's the plague, the eighth 

640
00:40:28,900 --> 00:40:33,200
plagued with the locusts. 
It's an exodus 10. 

641
00:40:34,700 --> 00:40:40,400
And when you see this, you're 
going to realize that's that's 

642
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,700
quite interesting. 
In Exodus, 10. 

643
00:40:44,100 --> 00:40:45,900
Farrell wants the Locust to 
leave. 

644
00:40:45,900 --> 00:40:49,200
I don't blame him and he says, 
in verse 17, it says here. 

645
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:53,700
Now, therefore, forgive my sin. 
Please only this once and plead 

646
00:40:53,700 --> 00:40:55,600
with the Lord. 
Your God, only to remove this 

647
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,500
death from me. 
So, here's a man, who's saying, 

648
00:40:57,500 --> 00:41:00,600
I want this out of here. 
I want to be removed from all of

649
00:41:00,607 --> 00:41:02,500
this chaos and all of this 
destruction. 

650
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:05,900
So, Verse 18, he went out from 
pharaoh and pleaded with the 

651
00:41:05,900 --> 00:41:10,200
Lord and the Lord turned the 
wind into a very strong West 

652
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,400
Wind. 
Now, what happens, which lifted 

653
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,700
the locusts and drove them into 
the Red Sea. 

654
00:41:15,700 --> 00:41:22,200
Not a single Locus was left in 
all the country of Egypt. 

655
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:27,100
That's the grace of God. 
The moment this man repents the 

656
00:41:27,100 --> 00:41:30,000
strong Supernatural. 
Wind picks up all these ugly 

657
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,500
bugs. 
And catapults them into the 

658
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:37,000
ocean in a moment. 
And we're told specifically not 

659
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:42,600
one, hideous Locust was found in
anybody shoe or covered nothing,

660
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,200
they're all dispelled. 
Did that happen with every 

661
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,800
plague? 
Go to the second plague in 

662
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,300
Exodus 8. 
We're not dealing with locusts. 

663
00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:55,000
You're now, we're dealing with 
frogs. 

664
00:41:56,700 --> 00:41:59,800
Equally questionable as a pet 
Maybe. 

665
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,100
In verse 13. 
What do you read of Exodus 8? 

666
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,600
Pharaoh wants to see these 
things go? 

667
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,300
I don't blame him. 
And in verse 13, we read and the

668
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:15,200
Lord did according to the word 
of Moses, the frogs died out in 

669
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:19,600
the houses, the courtyards and 
the fields, and they gather them

670
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,600
together and heaps and the land 
stank. 

671
00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:28,000
No, strong West Wind, no 
Supernatural. 

672
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,200
Force to clean up the 
courtyards, and the front yards 

673
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:38,900
and the driveways God allowed 
the frogs to die and for them to

674
00:42:38,900 --> 00:42:43,600
scoop it up themselves and it 
actually produced an odor, 

675
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:48,600
across the land, some sins will 
stink more than others. 

676
00:42:50,500 --> 00:42:52,900
Some sins will leave deeper 
scars and others. 

677
00:42:52,900 --> 00:42:57,600
Some sins will leave a deeper 
and a more potent odor than 

678
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:58,500
others. 
Others. 

679
00:42:58,500 --> 00:43:00,000
Well, how do I determine you 
can't? 

680
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,400
You can't just avoid all sin. 
That's a good idea. 

681
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,500
Isn't it? 
Just avoid all playing so we 

682
00:43:05,500 --> 00:43:10,100
don't want any of it. 
And so we see here that we 

683
00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:13,700
cannot forecast what this thing 
will lead us to. 

684
00:43:13,700 --> 00:43:17,100
So just avoid it altogether and 
in David's case. 

685
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,400
So, there are different 
adulterous of his time. 

686
00:43:19,500 --> 00:43:22,700
Different adulterous throughout 
scripture in his case, and God's

687
00:43:22,700 --> 00:43:26,500
perfect. 
Wisdom allowed things to stink. 

688
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,700
A little bit longer. 
Than one would wish. 

689
00:43:30,700 --> 00:43:37,000
For remember that you can never 
determine what sin will produce.

690
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,900
You don't know how long it will 
pollute, you don't know how long

691
00:43:39,900 --> 00:43:42,600
it is to deal with the damage 
that it causes. 

692
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,900
Sometimes it's years, sometimes 
overnight, it's as though 

693
00:43:45,900 --> 00:43:50,400
nothing had happened, the day 
before, And there is no 

694
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,600
instruction given to us. 
And I thank God for it because 

695
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,800
we are tricky with our flesh, to
show us how we can avoid the 

696
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:02,400
least amount of problems because
of our sin and David hears, all 

697
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,000
of this, he sees all of this, he
registers all of this. 

698
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,500
And after this blistering words,
that come from the mouth of this

699
00:44:09,500 --> 00:44:14,200
prophet, he is ready to respond.
And the way that David responds 

700
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,500
and this is how we're going to 
end is a wonderful glorious 

701
00:44:18,100 --> 00:44:22,200
instructional Elation of what 
true repentance looks like. 

702
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,200
What true repentance looks like 
and look at it with me here in 

703
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:34,900
verse 13 of chapter 12. 
David said to Nathan, I've 

704
00:44:34,900 --> 00:44:40,000
sinned against the Lord. 
That moved me when I read it 

705
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,000
today, that moved my heart to 
the core. 

706
00:44:43,900 --> 00:44:48,900
David said to Nathan. 
I've sinned against the Lord. 

707
00:44:49,300 --> 00:44:51,900
You want to see the fleshed-out 
version of that? 

708
00:44:51,900 --> 00:44:53,700
You know what, song to turn to 
right, you know, have to turn 

709
00:44:53,700 --> 00:44:55,100
there were not going to turn 
there tonight. 

710
00:44:55,100 --> 00:45:01,800
Psalm 1 Psalm 51. 
Psalm 51 is the journal entry of

711
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,100
verse 13. 
It's after David's, at back, and

712
00:45:05,100 --> 00:45:07,700
really thought and meditate, and
let that truth of the 

713
00:45:07,700 --> 00:45:12,300
chastisement of the Lord sitting
upon his soul and he, he just 

714
00:45:12,300 --> 00:45:17,200
writes out Psalm 51. 
Don't let the brevity of this 

715
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,700
confession fool. 
You don't let it cause you to 

716
00:45:20,700 --> 00:45:25,600
judge this man's sincerity. 
In fact, the brevity of it makes

717
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:30,500
it so beautiful, you know, 
sometimes we look at how people 

718
00:45:30,500 --> 00:45:33,600
respond to sin or their failure 
and we look for external 

719
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,800
evidence, right? 
We look for things that they do 

720
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:42,000
or things that they don't do and
things that they say, and the 

721
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,600
level of tears that they can 
gather up in a cup, whatever the

722
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:49,100
case may be, when you and I have
no idea what's going on in their

723
00:45:49,100 --> 00:45:52,600
hearts. 
See before the prophet, you know

724
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,000
what he does. 
He says one thing I have sinned 

725
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,900
against the Lord, you know, what
was happening in his heart? 

726
00:45:56,900 --> 00:45:59,900
Psalm 51. 
Psalm 51. 

727
00:46:00,500 --> 00:46:03,500
So you and I have to understand 
that the Lord the same way he 

728
00:46:03,500 --> 00:46:06,400
sees the motives of somebody 
send the reason for their sin. 

729
00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:11,300
He sees the repentance of that 
sin, just as clearly And I think

730
00:46:11,300 --> 00:46:13,100
what you see here is an 
encouragement. 

731
00:46:13,100 --> 00:46:16,900
Listen, if you are in sin 
tonight, what's not going to 

732
00:46:16,900 --> 00:46:20,600
impress, God's pardon in your 
life, is your poetic expression 

733
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,100
of how wrong you've been. 
It's not going to be the 

734
00:46:23,100 --> 00:46:26,400
duration of your dejection. 
It's not going to be anything 

735
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:30,000
other than the sincerity of the 
Contrition of your heart. 

736
00:46:30,300 --> 00:46:32,700
That is all that moves, the 
heart of the Lord. 

737
00:46:32,700 --> 00:46:35,400
That's it. 
And it's as plain as simple as 

738
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,200
that. 
And I praise God for that. 

739
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:44,400
And David here shows us that you
can be in one breath broken and 

740
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,400
when God's favor again, because 
God tells him, he assures him, 

741
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,100
you are pardoned. 
You are forgiven after one 

742
00:46:50,100 --> 00:46:55,300
statement, after one simple 
statement like that, And that 

743
00:46:55,300 --> 00:46:58,700
might offend people more than 
the actual discipline that God 

744
00:46:58,700 --> 00:47:01,200
gives to this, man. 
The fact that the Lord is 

745
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,200
willing to be so quick to 
forgive him. 

746
00:47:05,100 --> 00:47:06,400
Now, I'm going to get to in a 
moment. 

747
00:47:06,500 --> 00:47:08,900
What do you see in David's 
confession, it's one sentence, 

748
00:47:08,900 --> 00:47:10,900
but what do you see in it? 
That's so significant. 

749
00:47:20,500 --> 00:47:24,000
Yes. 
Sure. 

750
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,700
So you minted it to a person. 
Sure. 

751
00:47:31,900 --> 00:47:36,300
Yes. 
Against the Lord, I have sinned 

752
00:47:36,300 --> 00:47:39,600
against Uriah know. 
I've sinned against Bathsheba 

753
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:43,000
know, I've sinned against the 
government know, I've sinned 

754
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:49,200
against the Lord. 
The primary offender. 

755
00:47:50,300 --> 00:47:53,000
And the effendi here, rather is 
the Lord himself. 

756
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,100
So before, even not that he 
denied the fact that he sent 

757
00:47:55,100 --> 00:47:58,200
against other people. 
But here's the realization I 

758
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:03,800
violated and harmed and wounded,
The God Who made the Covenant of

759
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:08,500
marriage, I hurt. 
And I broke the law of the one 

760
00:48:08,700 --> 00:48:11,900
who gave life to her Uriah, who 
takes the life of man, and I 

761
00:48:11,900 --> 00:48:15,300
took that upon myself, I'm the 
one who stepped out of bounds 

762
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,100
with the one who gave me 
everything that I have. 

763
00:48:19,900 --> 00:48:25,900
True repentance primarily 
recognizes God being offended. 

764
00:48:28,100 --> 00:48:31,200
David here is not spilling his 
heart open because of what's 

765
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,700
going to come to him now. 
David here is not even as 

766
00:48:34,700 --> 00:48:37,600
disturbed about the fact that 
Uriah is gone in bathsheba's, 

767
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,900
not really his legitimate wife, 
that's not what burdens him, 

768
00:48:41,900 --> 00:48:45,200
build that is part of it. 
What consumes this man is I 

769
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:51,400
fractured my fellowship with 
almighty God and this broke him 

770
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:55,700
because he realized who God was 
and the grand scheme of 

771
00:48:55,700 --> 00:48:59,700
everything. 
And so here we see that true 

772
00:48:59,700 --> 00:49:05,300
repentance prioritises, the 
realization of what your sin is 

773
00:49:05,300 --> 00:49:07,500
done with the vertical 
relationship that you and I 

774
00:49:07,500 --> 00:49:11,800
cherish and love and enjoy. 
I've seen Christians that have 

775
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,800
repented and had nothing to do 
with God being offended. 

776
00:49:16,100 --> 00:49:19,700
I've seen it in their confession
in their testimonies is not 

777
00:49:19,700 --> 00:49:21,700
about God. 
It's about what they did to 

778
00:49:21,700 --> 00:49:25,000
their mom and how they 
disappointed, a dad growing up 

779
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,000
and how they heard this person 
and how they hurt their church. 

780
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,600
That's fine and dandy, Where's 
God? 

781
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,800
Where's God? 
And I'm telling you of God is 

782
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,300
not in the confession. 
That might be an insight to 

783
00:49:37,300 --> 00:49:39,700
prove that you didn't have God 
in mind when you sinned or 

784
00:49:39,700 --> 00:49:41,300
before you even considered 
sinning. 

785
00:49:42,700 --> 00:49:47,000
What do I mean by that? 
That this this is more than just

786
00:49:47,100 --> 00:49:50,900
law keeping and having a nice 
reputation among the church. 

787
00:49:51,500 --> 00:49:54,000
This is about my walk with 
almighty God. 

788
00:49:55,500 --> 00:49:58,000
And David realized that that's 
the first thing that comes to 

789
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,200
his mind. 
That's the first thing that 

790
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,400
comes out of his mouth but 
there's a second point that I 

791
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:08,400
want to draw to your attention, 
the brevity of it showcases The 

792
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:14,300
exclusion of excuses. 
I've sinned against the Lord 

793
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,800
compare that with Saul's 
repentance or supposed 

794
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,500
repentance, remember that Samuel
comes on the scene? 

795
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,300
I've obeyed the Lord then he 
justifies his partial obedience 

796
00:50:23,300 --> 00:50:26,000
then he says it again and have 
sacrificed this for the Lord, 

797
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,400
this is set apart for Lord and 
he just keeps going until 

798
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:29,600
finally says. 
Okay, fine. 

799
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,700
I've sinned against the Lord and
his word for I feared the people

800
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:33,800
now saying, oh can you come with
me? 

801
00:50:33,808 --> 00:50:36,500
So we go to the house of God and
it makes it look like they, you 

802
00:50:36,500 --> 00:50:38,500
know, you're actually in good 
terms with me and I'm in. 

803
00:50:38,500 --> 00:50:43,200
Good terms with God, it just 
Just the word vomit is so 

804
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:48,000
obvious and it's actually, it's 
actually a revelation of how his

805
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,600
heart was not really broken. 
He could say so much, because 

806
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:55,800
his heart was still so light. 
And David just has one 

807
00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:00,900
statement. 
And he says, I have no excuses. 

808
00:51:01,900 --> 00:51:03,500
You know what some people do? 
Well yeah. 

809
00:51:03,500 --> 00:51:08,900
I've sinned against the Lord but
wife's in But True Confession. 

810
00:51:08,900 --> 00:51:13,900
Never has the word butt in it. 
Never True Confession. 

811
00:51:14,300 --> 00:51:19,600
Never has the word butt in it. 
Yeah, okay, yeah, you're right. 

812
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:20,700
Nathan. 
But you know, she should have 

813
00:51:20,700 --> 00:51:22,300
been baiting like that. 
She knows that I go up on the 

814
00:51:22,308 --> 00:51:23,500
roof. 
She knows that I can see all 

815
00:51:23,500 --> 00:51:25,900
things from that point. 
She shouldn't have done, that's 

816
00:51:25,900 --> 00:51:27,900
kind of her fault. 
Yeah. 

817
00:51:27,900 --> 00:51:28,700
Okay. 
I did it. 

818
00:51:28,700 --> 00:51:32,100
Yeah. 
But, you know, I was hoping that

819
00:51:32,100 --> 00:51:34,500
the ammonites really wouldn't 
have killed the maybe wounded. 

820
00:51:34,500 --> 00:51:36,600
I don't know. 
Like, he didn't say anything of 

821
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:37,900
that. 
These, what about job? 

822
00:51:37,900 --> 00:51:40,200
You know, job kind of, was, was 
in the night, like, he didn't 

823
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,700
know the full thing, but he 
should have at least stood up to

824
00:51:42,707 --> 00:51:43,800
me. 
We should we get Joe. 

825
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,600
I've been to this conference 
about nothing. 

826
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,000
I've sinned against the Lord and
that's what our human nature 

827
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:51,800
wants to do. 
Right. 

828
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,400
It's ever since the beginning, 
we want to point the finger, we 

829
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,200
want to bounce the problems off 
of us and the full 

830
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,400
accountability and at least 
share it with somebody else. 

831
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,600
Here's the thing. 
When you have God in the 

832
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:08,600
equation, realize that it's your
sin, regardless of the sin, that

833
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:14,300
instigated you to sin it. 
Never justifies your sin and it 

834
00:52:14,300 --> 00:52:16,300
primarily your sin. 
Affects your vertical 

835
00:52:16,300 --> 00:52:18,300
relationship with the Lord. 
So let the Good deal with other 

836
00:52:18,300 --> 00:52:22,000
people's wrongs. 
Let the Lord deal with other 

837
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:26,000
people's wrongs, even if their 
wrongs was mixed into. 

838
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,300
Why you did that? 
And why you said that just just 

839
00:52:29,300 --> 00:52:32,000
cancel all of that and just 
realize. 

840
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:36,700
Okay, I sinned and it affected 
my relationship with the Lord. 

841
00:52:36,700 --> 00:52:39,500
Therefore I have sinned against 
the Lord. 

842
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:48,100
Isn't that refreshing to hear? 
And there is a beauty in the 

843
00:52:48,100 --> 00:52:51,400
Simplicity of this. 
There is just this this holy 

844
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,700
moment in the quietness of 
David. 

845
00:52:54,300 --> 00:52:56,600
Now I told you, I wouldn't have 
want to been there when he says 

846
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,000
you are the man, but I would 
like to peek my head. 

847
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,000
When David said, I have sinned 
against the Lord, I would have 

848
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,300
loved to just look through those
Royal curtains. 

849
00:53:04,300 --> 00:53:08,900
And see how he looked? 
Did he have his head down with 

850
00:53:08,900 --> 00:53:12,300
her tears? 
That he whispered that he 

851
00:53:12,300 --> 00:53:18,600
shouted. 
Here's Nathan and David and 

852
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:25,300
David says, I have sinned 
against the Lord. and what so 

853
00:53:25,300 --> 00:53:31,600
moves me not just how he does 
not include one other excuse, 

854
00:53:32,700 --> 00:53:37,000
But how Nathan responds and 
Nathan said to David in the same

855
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,700
verse, the Lord has also put 
away your sin, you shall not 

856
00:53:39,700 --> 00:53:42,000
die. 
How quick is that? 

857
00:53:43,500 --> 00:53:48,000
Are you offended by that? 
What are you offended by more? 

858
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,600
The list of judgments that were 
going to be on David's life 

859
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:55,600
until he went into Glory or how 
quick? 

860
00:53:56,700 --> 00:54:01,300
How swift forgiveness came to 
him, the moment he confessed. 

861
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,600
Some would be offended by that. 
It's just, that's all it takes. 

862
00:54:04,700 --> 00:54:09,100
I've sinned against the Lord. 
Yeah, if it's just lip service, 

863
00:54:09,100 --> 00:54:13,200
but if there's a Psalm 51 
roaring in your soul, that's a 

864
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,500
different story. 
I've sinned against the Lord, 

865
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,200
and right there, this Prophet 
who has these special antennas 

866
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,200
to hear from Heaven, gets a 
word. 

867
00:54:21,300 --> 00:54:24,600
You're forgiven. 
You're forgiven Dina, why? 

868
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,900
Because the same psalmist, who 
send penned in Psalm 86 5. 

869
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,600
Unfortunately, you won't see 
this in the ESV. 

870
00:54:32,900 --> 00:54:36,700
You'll see it in the King, 
James, new King, James and ASB. 

871
00:54:37,100 --> 00:54:42,000
We're told in Psalm 86 five that
the Lord is ready to forgive. 

872
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:45,800
The ESV says good and forgiving 
that's nice. 

873
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:50,000
But you look at the Hebrew ready
to forgive You know what? 

874
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,500
That tells me? 
He's waiting to forgive. 

875
00:54:53,300 --> 00:54:55,500
He's right there. 
Ready to swing the door open. 

876
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,100
Well, what is he waiting for the
knock of repentance on our end. 

877
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:04,700
That's what he's waiting for. 
So the Readiness to forgive is 

878
00:55:04,700 --> 00:55:07,800
triggered by our Readiness to 
repent. 

879
00:55:08,900 --> 00:55:15,000
Genuinely void of excuse void, 
of pointing the fingers void of 

880
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,600
the butts. 
And just saying it's obvious. 

881
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:23,000
It's clear. 
I've sinned against God and he 

882
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:29,200
says, in Psalm 51 against the in
the only have I sinned And the 

883
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,300
Lord is willing to forgive when 
a man comes broken like this 

884
00:55:32,300 --> 00:55:37,100
man, does no scene no pounding 
against the wall. 

885
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,800
No probation time on God's part,
by the way, I have sinned 

886
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,200
against the lord. 
Well, okay, good. 

887
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,200
That's nice and Danny go into 
that penalty box for 7 days and 

888
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,200
come back, and let's see if your
heart is just a smashed as it is

889
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:51,500
now. 
And then I'll determine if you 

890
00:55:51,500 --> 00:55:52,600
can have fellowship with me 
again. 

891
00:55:52,700 --> 00:55:56,900
That's not God. 
That's man, huh? 

892
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,400
We're just all a bunch of 
Jonah's, right? 

893
00:56:02,500 --> 00:56:05,800
Wanting to look at the city of 
Chicago and say, are all going 

894
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:10,400
to hell and you deserve it, and 
the Lord wants to save them and 

895
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,600
were like, Lord, you sure. 
Look at all the Bloodshed. 

896
00:56:12,900 --> 00:56:15,200
Look at all the abortion. 
Look at all the gangs 

897
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:19,200
slaughtering each other. 
And the whole point of the Book 

898
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,600
of John, I said there's many 
times and I can't stop saying it

899
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,300
because it moves me such a short
prophetic book, but it has such 

900
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,200
powerful implications. 
Though. 

901
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:31,600
The point of the Book of Jonah 
is men, even the greatest men, 

902
00:56:31,700 --> 00:56:34,700
even the greatest prophets are 
less merciful than our God is. 

903
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,500
They're less quick to forgive 
than our God. 

904
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:44,000
They are less tender and soft 
and inviting, and welcoming than

905
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,500
our God. 
And God is so tender, even in 

906
00:56:46,500 --> 00:56:49,600
the Book of Jonah itself. 
God, even mentions the death of 

907
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:53,800
the cattle. 
He even thinks about the life of

908
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,000
the animals. 
Now, I'm not advocating, animal 

909
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,300
rights here and sheep are on the
same level as humans. 

910
00:56:59,300 --> 00:57:01,500
And if a dog drowns in your 
neighbor's, Johnny, maybe you 

911
00:57:01,500 --> 00:57:04,100
can argue which one has more 
worth than that's crazy stuff, 

912
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,700
but God does have value in 
appreciation for life. 

913
00:57:07,700 --> 00:57:12,200
All life. 
And we see here that this man is

914
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:16,200
receiving that forgiveness, 
because God was ready to 

915
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,100
forgive. 
But look what happens here in 

916
00:57:19,107 --> 00:57:23,600
verse 14. 
Nevertheless, Nathan says, 

917
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:27,600
because by this deed, you have 
utterly scorned the Lord, the 

918
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:33,000
child who is born to you shall 
die. the Nathan went to his 

919
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:40,000
house, he talked about 
concluding his sermon, Talk 

920
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,600
about closing Friday, night 
bible study with that. 

921
00:57:45,700 --> 00:57:49,600
You're forgiven your sins. 
Put aside your son. 

922
00:57:50,500 --> 00:57:54,600
He's going to die. 
No apologies. 

923
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:59,400
No, lengthy explanation, no 
theological presentation of why 

924
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,500
God allows us though. 
We do have the rest of the Bible

925
00:58:01,500 --> 00:58:04,200
to determine why this is the 
case. 

926
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,600
Let me end on this thought and I
will end here because we're not 

927
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:14,700
going to touch any other verse. 
The Lord's, pardon for our sin 

928
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,900
is not his only goal in our 
sanctification. 

929
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:24,300
God eagerly desires to also deal
with the presence of sin in our 

930
00:58:24,300 --> 00:58:27,900
lives and it's power in our 
lives simultaneously. 

931
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:32,200
So when God wants to wipe away 
our sin, that is his chief and 

932
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:36,400
because that will bring us back 
to him and reconcile us to him. 

933
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:42,200
But as a good father he also 
wants to ensure and do what he 

934
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:46,500
needs to do so that we would not
repeat the offense and continue 

935
00:58:46,500 --> 00:58:49,600
to harm us and others. 
And more importantly Our walk 

936
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,900
with him. 
And so the Lord will take extra 

937
00:58:52,900 --> 00:58:58,900
measures to bring about 
preventive things in our lives 

938
00:58:58,900 --> 00:59:02,100
and very real ways. 
So that it becomes much more 

939
00:59:02,100 --> 00:59:05,800
difficult to repeat that very 
offense that got us in the mess 

940
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:09,800
to begin with. 
And the means by which God does 

941
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,000
this, this might shock you, but 
it's true. 

942
00:59:12,500 --> 00:59:15,700
The means by which God does, 
this is something called 

943
00:59:15,700 --> 00:59:19,300
discipline. 
Chastisement. 

944
00:59:20,100 --> 00:59:25,700
In other words, God permitting 
and even authoring painful 

945
00:59:25,700 --> 00:59:31,600
experiences in our lives, in 
connection to our sin. 

946
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:38,100
So that what we thought was 
sweet is actually sour, And just

947
00:59:38,100 --> 00:59:41,300
like when you discipline a 
child, after they do something 

948
00:59:41,300 --> 00:59:45,700
wrong, we make the connection 
with that wrong and realize, 

949
00:59:45,700 --> 00:59:48,700
this is what it's going to 
actually produce in my life and 

950
00:59:48,700 --> 00:59:52,200
it makes it less attractive than
what we thought it was before it

951
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:57,200
all happened. 
And so God as a father knows 

952
00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:02,700
exactly what to prescribe, he 
knows the right measure of pain 

953
01:00:02,700 --> 01:00:08,100
to implement in order for us to 
be repulsed by and if not 

954
01:00:08,100 --> 01:00:13,100
repulse totally, at least 
fearful of the thing that we did

955
01:00:13,100 --> 01:00:15,100
to fracture our fellowship with 
him. 

956
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,400
And in David's case, you know 
what it was. 

957
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:27,400
Have to kill your son. 
How do we feel about that? 

958
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,000
Here's the thing that you and I 
can be comforted with and 

959
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:37,800
comforted by the discipline of 
God is Not subject to potential 

960
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:41,900
error. 
Father's even Godly fathers are 

961
01:00:41,900 --> 01:00:45,200
capable of going too far when 
correcting their son. 

962
01:00:46,900 --> 01:00:50,100
When correcting their daughter 
and they are equally capable of 

963
01:00:50,100 --> 01:00:54,100
having too low of a standard 
when it comes to the growth in 

964
01:00:54,100 --> 01:00:56,200
the maturation of their 
children. 

965
01:00:57,500 --> 01:01:00,300
But the reason why you, and I 
can look at that and actually be

966
01:01:00,300 --> 01:01:02,400
comfortable with the decision of
the Lord. 

967
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:06,800
Ultimately, he's God, who can 
question his ways, but we can be

968
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,400
comforted to know that he's 
perfect in all of his ways, not 

969
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,200
just in his love, not just in 
his grace, not just in his gifts

970
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:15,200
also in his discipline, even in 
his discipline. 

971
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:19,100
Again, let me say it. 
He knows the right prescription 

972
01:01:19,100 --> 01:01:25,300
to give to create a procedure in
your heart that will uproot. 

973
01:01:25,300 --> 01:01:29,200
Those roots that have Simulated 
you all these years. 

974
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,800
You remember, David did not do 
this out of nowhere. 

975
01:01:32,300 --> 01:01:35,900
This was a deep-seated issue. 
He had no problem taking wives, 

976
01:01:35,900 --> 01:01:39,400
and taking more woman unto 
himself and it manifested this 

977
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:43,400
way in adultery and murder. 
But what was the root cause of 

978
01:01:43,408 --> 01:01:43,900
it? 
What was? 

979
01:01:43,900 --> 01:01:46,700
I can we learn early passions 
early on that. 

980
01:01:46,700 --> 01:01:49,100
He did not deal with. 
And God says, at this point, now

981
01:01:49,100 --> 01:01:52,200
we're going to deal with it. 
And the way we're going to deal 

982
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:56,000
with it is going to be painful 
but the pain is necessary to 

983
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,600
uproot that which keeps bringing
you back to this cycle. 

984
01:02:00,700 --> 01:02:03,600
A new believer. 
When you ask them how it is that

985
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,400
you believe that Jesus loves you
and they'll say, John, 3:16 for 

986
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:07,500
God. 
So loved the world that He Sent 

987
01:02:07,500 --> 01:02:10,400
His only begotten son. 
Right, mature. 

988
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,300
Christian who walks with the 
Lord will not necessarily quote.

989
01:02:13,300 --> 01:02:16,800
John 3:16 they will also, quote 
places like Revelation 3, where 

990
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:21,500
we are told whom I love. 
I discipline Who am I love? 

991
01:02:21,500 --> 01:02:26,500
I discipline. 
So as a father who loves the 

992
01:02:26,500 --> 01:02:31,100
expression of his love is not 
merely taking you deeper in the 

993
01:02:31,100 --> 01:02:34,100
depths of the truths of the 
Gospel, but it's also to 

994
01:02:34,100 --> 01:02:39,300
implement punishment to produce 
righteousness and Holiness in 

995
01:02:39,300 --> 01:02:42,000
US. 
And that's exactly what David 

996
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,100
would require. 
There's an interesting proverb. 

997
01:02:46,300 --> 01:02:49,100
And I love to see a proverb and 
then see biblical example for 

998
01:02:49,100 --> 01:02:51,900
it. 
Here's one, it's in Proverbs 20 

999
01:02:51,900 --> 01:02:53,900
verse 30. 
I'm going to quote the second 

1000
01:02:53,900 --> 01:02:58,200
part Strokes make clean the 
innermost Parts. 

1001
01:02:58,900 --> 01:03:02,800
The first part says blows that 
wound cleanse away, evil 

1002
01:03:03,100 --> 01:03:06,400
Strokes, may clean. 
That innermost Parts in other 

1003
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:14,300
words, often times painful means
do the deepest work of cleansing

1004
01:03:14,300 --> 01:03:17,500
and people. 
And Not only would the 

1005
01:03:17,500 --> 01:03:22,600
discipline of the Lord caused 
The Sinner, to be repulsed by 

1006
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,700
their sin will actually 
discourage observers from that 

1007
01:03:25,700 --> 01:03:28,300
very same sin. 
So that's Proverbs. 

1008
01:03:28,300 --> 01:03:32,500
Twenty Thirty listen to this in 
Proverbs 21, 11, when a scoffer 

1009
01:03:32,500 --> 01:03:38,600
is punished, the simple become 
wise When they scoffers somebody

1010
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:43,200
over there, who's a scoffer is 
punished whether by the law or 

1011
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:47,300
by God himself the simple, the 
unlearned the ones who are 

1012
01:03:47,300 --> 01:03:50,900
swayed, left and right. 
Those people when they observe 

1013
01:03:50,900 --> 01:03:57,500
that go home, an that's mishap. 
That's what happens when you do 

1014
01:03:57,500 --> 01:03:58,600
that. 
No, thank you. 

1015
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:02,400
I don't want it. 
And so there's a multi-faceted 

1016
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:06,100
purpose with God's discipline 
and even one person's life. 

1017
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:12,000
And David would be. 
Accepting of that punishment. 

1018
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,400
There is no protest. 
Here, there's no fist to the 

1019
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:19,700
skies. 
Just a broken willingness to 

1020
01:04:19,700 --> 01:04:22,500
embrace what's about to take 
place in his life. 

1021
01:04:24,300 --> 01:04:26,100
Here's how. 
And did I say that already? 

1022
01:04:28,100 --> 01:04:29,400
We have men's meeting in the 
morning. 

1023
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:31,400
Should we just stay up until 
then? 

1024
01:04:35,700 --> 01:04:37,800
There's a prophetic picture 
here. 

1025
01:04:41,300 --> 01:04:43,800
Isn't it, isn't it? 
An awesome thing to see prophecy

1026
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:48,000
or some Shadow depicted and 
obscure texts like this, I love 

1027
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:52,100
it. 
Your son is going to die. 

1028
01:04:54,800 --> 01:05:00,800
Is the sun innocent. 
Yeah, he is in us and in God's 

1029
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,000
wisdom. 
Who's the author? 

1030
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:12,200
of life and the Removal the 
author to remove life, he can do

1031
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,700
what he pleases and we have the 
joy of the same chapter to 

1032
01:05:14,700 --> 01:05:16,500
realize that this baby is going 
to be in heaven. 

1033
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:26,200
The death of your son, David is 
going to pay for your sins. 

1034
01:05:29,300 --> 01:05:31,700
And there is coming at this 
point. 

1035
01:05:32,900 --> 01:05:37,700
Another son of David. 
That would arrive several 

1036
01:05:37,700 --> 01:05:40,500
hundred years later. 
Who would do the same? 

1037
01:05:41,900 --> 01:05:46,700
not just for David, but for all 
of us, there is an innocent boy 

1038
01:05:46,700 --> 01:05:51,600
that will come from the seed of 
David who will in his death 

1039
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:58,600
cover, the sin of all mankind, 
So even in this dark picture 

1040
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:05,700
this heartbreaking scenario, we 
see a sliver of gospel truth. 

1041
01:06:05,700 --> 01:06:11,800
There is a son of David Who will
come and his death will cover 

1042
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:16,700
past present and future sin. 
Because that is the preciousness

1043
01:06:16,700 --> 01:06:18,800
of his blood. 
Let's pray. 

1044
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:38,700
Lord, we look to you tonight 
with all these truths. 

1045
01:06:40,300 --> 01:06:41,700
That have been presented before 
us. 

1046
01:06:41,700 --> 01:06:45,600
And we ask that it would cause 
us to worship you and Lord. 

1047
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,700
As we heard to despise your word
is to despise you. 

1048
01:06:48,700 --> 01:06:52,400
But to love your word is to love
you and we want to express our 

1049
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:56,200
love to you. 
Every Friday night as we come to

1050
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:59,800
your word. 
And we pray that as we sing. 

1051
01:07:02,900 --> 01:07:04,900
As we sing Lord, we would not 
sing. 

1052
01:07:06,100 --> 01:07:09,200
Divorce from the truth that we 
heard, but it would stimulate us

1053
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,900
to give you the praise and honor
that is due to you. 

1054
01:07:11,900 --> 01:07:14,400
Because you are the one who 
breathed this book into our 

1055
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:17,600
hands. 
We love you Lord we ask that you

1056
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:21,800
would indeed sanctifies as you 
see fit in Jesus name. 

1057
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:25,100
Amen. 
Let's stand as we close and I'll

1058
01:07:25,107 --> 01:07:30,400
let you go. 
Some of you look heavy, I'd But 

1059
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:33,000
give it what you have for the 
Lord Jesus before you head onto 

1060
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,900
your bed. 
And bless them in the night with

1061
01:07:35,900 --> 01:07:37,200
an evening sacrifice.
