WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.620 Well, we come to the end of our story. 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:10.179 We're in our last few verses of the book of Job. 00:00:10.179 --> 00:00:16.179 and we finally come and have made it to kind of this happily ever after ending. 00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:21.440 Those of you who like happy endings, you're going to love today's message. 00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:27.179 But as a recap and as kind of a way to kind of catch us up 00:00:27.179 --> 00:00:30.420 and kind of get us in the flow of where we are, 00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:36.740 I want to read for you kind of this story of Job 00:00:36.740 --> 00:00:41.460 in, let's say, kind of like a fairy tale kind of a venue. 00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:42.119 Okay? 00:00:42.659 --> 00:00:44.840 So this will serve not only as a summary, 00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:50.120 but also help for some of you who this is like your first time coming into the series, 00:00:50.420 --> 00:00:52.060 kind of catch you up to where we are 00:00:52.060 --> 00:00:56.659 so it will make sense as we finish out our study for this morning. 00:00:57.179 --> 00:01:03.740 I asked Chet GPT for help in creating a fairy tale version of Job 00:01:03.740 --> 00:01:04.939 with the facts that are there, 00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:08.780 so bear with me as I read for us today. 00:01:09.780 --> 00:01:11.299 Once upon a time, 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.099 in a faraway land called Uz, 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:15.439 there lived a man named Job. 00:01:16.180 --> 00:01:19.099 He was the greatest and most respected man of the East, 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.599 known for his kindness, his wisdom, 00:01:22.019 --> 00:01:23.099 his devotion to God. 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:25.460 Job was blessed with a beautiful family, 00:01:25.459 --> 00:01:26.919 seven strong sons, 00:01:27.039 --> 00:01:28.000 and three lovely daughters. 00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:30.719 His household was filled with joy and laughter, 00:01:31.199 --> 00:01:33.319 and his children regularly celebrated together 00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:35.039 and met in each other's homes. 00:01:35.939 --> 00:01:39.399 Job faithfully pointed his children to God 00:01:39.399 --> 00:01:41.780 and was careful always to pray for them, 00:01:41.859 --> 00:01:44.199 offering sacrifices on their behalf. 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:46.639 Job was also exceedingly rich. 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.780 He owned 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 00:01:50.260 --> 00:01:52.760 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 donkeys. 00:01:53.460 --> 00:01:57.460 His fields and pastures stretched as far as the eye could see. 00:01:57.739 --> 00:02:01.340 His herds dotted the hillside like stars across the night sky. 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.599 Everyone in the land knew of Job's greatness, 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.639 but even more they knew of Job's devotion to God. 00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:10.939 Until one day, 00:02:11.859 --> 00:02:14.979 the sons of God came and presented themselves before the Lord, 00:02:15.119 --> 00:02:18.479 and Satan came before the throne of God. 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:19.959 And the Lord said, 00:02:20.099 --> 00:02:22.559 Have you considered my servant Job? 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.219 There is none like him on the earth. 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:26.099 Satan sneered and said, 00:02:26.179 --> 00:02:27.599 Of course he loves you. 00:02:27.819 --> 00:02:29.019 Haven't you given him everything? 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:30.899 Take away his blessings, 00:02:31.179 --> 00:02:33.739 and he will curse you to your face. 00:02:33.740 --> 00:02:36.680 And so it came to pass. 00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:39.000 That God allowed Satan to test Job. 00:02:39.379 --> 00:02:40.700 In one dreadful day, 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.340 Job's sheep were destroyed by a fire from heaven. 00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:46.740 His camels carried away by the Chaldeans from the north. 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.219 His oxen and donkeys were stolen by the Sabaeans from the south. 00:02:50.500 --> 00:02:51.480 And worst of all, 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:53.640 a great wind struck the house 00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:56.420 where his beloved sons and daughters were feasting, 00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:58.080 and they were taken from him. 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:00.939 Job tore his clothes and fell to the ground, 00:03:01.020 --> 00:03:03.020 yet whispered through his tears, 00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:04.080 the Lord gave. 00:03:04.659 --> 00:03:05.800 The Lord has taken away. 00:03:05.939 --> 00:03:08.719 Blessed be the name of the Lord. 00:03:09.820 --> 00:03:12.060 But Job's trial was not complete, 00:03:12.860 --> 00:03:15.000 for Satan was not finished tormenting him. 00:03:15.500 --> 00:03:17.700 Satan presented himself again before God and said, 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:18.660 Skin for skin, 00:03:19.060 --> 00:03:20.379 strike his health, 00:03:20.620 --> 00:03:22.879 and he will surely curse you to your face. 00:03:23.780 --> 00:03:25.480 So Job was struck with painful sores 00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:26.840 from the top of his head 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.660 to the soles of his feet. 00:03:28.660 --> 00:03:30.120 He sat in ashes, 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.800 scraping himself with a broken shard of pottery. 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:35.520 His friends came to comfort him, 00:03:35.659 --> 00:03:37.760 but instead of easing his sorrow, 00:03:38.200 --> 00:03:40.180 they accused him of hidden sins, 00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:42.400 making his suffering even heavier, 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:44.719 heaping pain upon pain. 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.080 When at last, 00:03:47.660 --> 00:03:50.680 the Lord himself came to Job, 00:03:51.100 --> 00:03:52.020 not with anger, 00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:53.740 but in a mighty whirlwind, 00:03:54.300 --> 00:03:56.780 he asked Job questions that no man could answer. 00:03:56.780 --> 00:03:59.560 Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.400 Do you give the horse its might? 00:04:01.659 --> 00:04:03.580 Do you command the storm and sea? 00:04:04.539 --> 00:04:05.680 In awe and humility, 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.199 Job placed his hand over his mouth 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.120 and repented in dust and ashes, 00:04:11.860 --> 00:04:12.180 saying, 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.520 I know that you can do all things. 00:04:16.779 --> 00:04:18.800 And so the Lord restored Job, 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.180 blessing him more than before. 00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:22.959 Job prayed for his friends 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.180 and offered a sacrifice for the repentance, 00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:27.019 and God forgave them. 00:04:27.540 --> 00:04:30.459 His fields once again filled with flocks and herds. 00:04:30.699 --> 00:04:32.300 His house rang with joy. 00:04:32.660 --> 00:04:34.319 He was given new sons and daughters 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.600 as beautiful as the morning light. 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:38.439 And so Job, 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.819 along with his friends and family, 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.399 lived happily ever after. 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.399 If you like happy endings, 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.780 this is a happy ending for you. 00:04:48.779 --> 00:04:50.079 But I wonder this morning, 00:04:50.219 --> 00:04:51.779 as we look into the scripture, 00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:53.039 as we fill this out, 00:04:53.539 --> 00:04:54.500 there's some questions 00:04:54.500 --> 00:04:56.039 that we need to answer for ourselves. 00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:58.159 We're left with this final question. 00:04:58.539 --> 00:05:00.959 What was actually the happy ending? 00:05:02.239 --> 00:05:03.279 What was the happy ending? 00:05:03.379 --> 00:05:05.779 What made Job so happy 00:05:05.779 --> 00:05:07.859 at the end of his life? 00:05:08.099 --> 00:05:09.759 What is the moral of the story? 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:11.099 What are we supposed to learn 00:05:11.099 --> 00:05:14.039 and embrace as followers of God 00:05:14.039 --> 00:05:16.399 and those who would devote ourselves 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:17.119 to worship him? 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.420 What should we learn from this book? 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.879 How does it impact our hearts 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:23.699 and influence our lives 00:05:23.699 --> 00:05:26.079 and our activities on Monday? 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:29.639 We come to Job chapter 42, 00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:31.139 beginning in verse 7. 00:05:31.500 --> 00:05:32.319 We're going to take it through 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.199 the end of the book this morning 00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:35.360 to verse 14. 00:05:35.459 --> 00:05:36.160 And we're going to see 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.759 God who shows up in two ways. 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:40.579 First, God is going to show up 00:05:40.579 --> 00:05:41.459 with his final word. 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.280 God's final word to Job and his friends. 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.060 It begins there in verse 7. 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:48.300 7 to 9. 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:49.399 Let me read that for us 00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:51.139 and we'll jump into our text 00:05:51.139 --> 00:05:51.800 for this morning. 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.160 After the Lord had spoken 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:55.939 these words to Job, 00:05:56.420 --> 00:05:57.959 the Lord said to Eliphaz, 00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:58.680 the Temanite, 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.560 My anger burns against you 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.240 and against your two friends. 00:06:03.819 --> 00:06:06.639 For you have not spoken of me, 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:07.319 what is right, 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:09.019 as my servant Job has. 00:06:09.740 --> 00:06:10.259 Now therefore, 00:06:10.699 --> 00:06:12.480 take seven bulls and seven rams 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:13.860 and go to my servant Job 00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:15.540 and offer up a burnt offering 00:06:15.540 --> 00:06:16.139 for yourselves 00:06:16.139 --> 00:06:17.939 and my servant Job 00:06:17.939 --> 00:06:19.300 shall pray for you. 00:06:20.139 --> 00:06:21.500 For I will accept his prayer 00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:23.360 not to deal with you 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:24.960 according to your folly. 00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:27.400 For you have not spoken of me 00:06:27.400 --> 00:06:27.960 what is right, 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:29.680 as my servant Job has. 00:06:30.460 --> 00:06:31.879 So Eliphaz the Temanite 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:33.180 and Bildad the Shuhite 00:06:33.180 --> 00:06:35.020 and Zophar the Namathite 00:06:35.020 --> 00:06:37.120 went and did what the Lord 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:37.980 had told them 00:06:37.980 --> 00:06:40.400 and the Lord accepted Job's prayer. 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.000 God will speak one more time 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:44.879 and he will provide this message 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:46.560 to Job's friends. 00:06:47.239 --> 00:06:48.159 And we're going to see 00:06:48.159 --> 00:06:49.219 three components 00:06:49.219 --> 00:06:51.159 to his word this morning. 00:06:51.259 --> 00:06:51.500 First, 00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:53.519 his righteous anger 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:54.399 that comes through. 00:06:55.219 --> 00:06:56.799 Notice that God leads with this, 00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.779 My anger burns against you 00:06:59.779 --> 00:07:01.000 and your two friends. 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.159 After the Lord spoke to Job, 00:07:04.239 --> 00:07:05.560 we get the impression 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:06.500 that now Job, 00:07:06.779 --> 00:07:08.719 or God turns to Job's friends 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.420 and continues this conversation. 00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:13.140 Having informed Job 00:07:13.140 --> 00:07:14.520 about how Job 00:07:14.520 --> 00:07:18.500 was ignorant towards God's will, 00:07:18.640 --> 00:07:20.080 God's truth in some ways 00:07:20.080 --> 00:07:22.620 and he darkened counsel of God, 00:07:22.780 --> 00:07:25.460 now God turns to Job's friends 00:07:25.460 --> 00:07:27.680 and he is clear about his anger. 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.660 His friends likely 00:07:31.660 --> 00:07:33.880 have participated in the hearing 00:07:33.880 --> 00:07:35.260 of what God said to Job. 00:07:36.260 --> 00:07:37.260 God has expounded 00:07:37.260 --> 00:07:38.600 the wonders of his creation 00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:40.300 God has helped to communicate 00:07:40.300 --> 00:07:43.480 the way that he intricately 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:45.780 created the world 00:07:45.780 --> 00:07:47.300 and cares for his creature. 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:48.540 God's sovereignty, 00:07:48.760 --> 00:07:49.460 his power, 00:07:49.760 --> 00:07:50.580 his majesty, 00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:51.800 all of those things 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:54.379 that certainly left Job 00:07:54.379 --> 00:07:55.660 breathless and silent 00:07:55.660 --> 00:07:58.300 has now left his friends 00:07:58.300 --> 00:07:59.280 also silent. 00:08:00.060 --> 00:08:01.280 We will not hear from them 00:08:01.280 --> 00:08:02.620 the rest of this book. 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:04.680 And the Lord addresses them 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:06.240 speaking to the friends 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:07.120 and he singles out 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:08.139 Eliphaz first. 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.139 Eliphaz who is the first speaker, 00:08:10.819 --> 00:08:11.680 likely the oldest, 00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:13.280 the most respected of the group. 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:15.220 He's the one who 00:08:15.220 --> 00:08:17.460 supposedly got this word 00:08:17.460 --> 00:08:19.319 that was brought stealthily 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:19.860 to his ear, 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:21.120 a spirit, remember, 00:08:21.379 --> 00:08:23.079 who glided past his face 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:24.160 and this word 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:24.920 that was delivered 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:25.980 to Eliphaz 00:08:25.980 --> 00:08:27.160 and then communicated 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:28.019 to Job. 00:08:29.060 --> 00:08:30.139 And God leads 00:08:30.139 --> 00:08:31.480 his communication, 00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:32.100 his word, 00:08:32.940 --> 00:08:33.879 with this statement, 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:35.139 my anger burns 00:08:35.139 --> 00:08:36.139 against you 00:08:36.139 --> 00:08:37.939 and against your two friends. 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:39.679 Remember, 00:08:39.939 --> 00:08:40.879 God did not say 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:41.799 that to Job. 00:08:42.700 --> 00:08:43.240 God's anger 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:44.460 did not burn against Job. 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:44.759 Well, 00:08:45.019 --> 00:08:46.399 God corrected Job 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:47.740 and God reminded Job 00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:48.840 of the ways 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:50.139 that he got things wrong. 00:08:50.740 --> 00:08:51.480 His anger 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:52.379 was directed 00:08:52.379 --> 00:08:53.879 towards Job's friends. 00:08:55.340 --> 00:08:56.419 One commentator says, 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:57.539 when we read 00:08:57.539 --> 00:08:58.960 of God's anger 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:00.139 against his friends, 00:09:00.139 --> 00:09:02.019 we have to reckon 00:09:02.019 --> 00:09:03.319 that their fault 00:09:03.319 --> 00:09:04.759 is no small one. 00:09:05.740 --> 00:09:06.720 If Job has been 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:08.179 obscuring the divine plan 00:09:08.179 --> 00:09:08.879 in some way, 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:10.159 they have been 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:12.080 actively assaulting it. 00:09:13.100 --> 00:09:13.419 Job, 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:13.840 in claiming 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:14.319 that the world 00:09:14.319 --> 00:09:14.899 is not governed 00:09:14.899 --> 00:09:15.679 by justice, 00:09:15.939 --> 00:09:16.759 though he meant it 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:17.559 as a complaint, 00:09:17.819 --> 00:09:18.580 had really put 00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:19.460 his finger 00:09:19.460 --> 00:09:20.259 on the truth 00:09:20.259 --> 00:09:20.740 of the matter. 00:09:21.539 --> 00:09:21.860 They, 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:22.139 though, 00:09:22.220 --> 00:09:22.860 in defending 00:09:22.860 --> 00:09:23.539 the doctrine 00:09:23.539 --> 00:09:24.939 of retribution, 00:09:25.439 --> 00:09:26.200 were advocates 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:27.120 of a theology 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:27.700 hostile 00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:29.480 to the divine design. 00:09:30.139 --> 00:09:30.840 And those of you 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:31.439 who are just 00:09:31.439 --> 00:09:32.240 kind of catching up, 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:33.419 this theology 00:09:33.419 --> 00:09:34.480 of retribution 00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:35.799 is a theology 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:37.019 of cause and effect 00:09:37.019 --> 00:09:38.860 that we reap 00:09:38.860 --> 00:09:39.960 what we sow. 00:09:40.299 --> 00:09:41.259 And that was 00:09:41.259 --> 00:09:42.240 the design 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:43.279 of the truth 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:43.580 that they, 00:09:43.659 --> 00:09:45.259 or the messages 00:09:45.259 --> 00:09:46.100 that they gave 00:09:46.100 --> 00:09:46.679 to Job. 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:49.019 And here God is. 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:50.620 His anger burns 00:09:50.620 --> 00:09:51.340 against them. 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:53.139 Those of you 00:09:53.139 --> 00:09:53.580 who have read 00:09:53.580 --> 00:09:54.279 the Old Testament 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:54.879 will know 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:56.399 that God's anger 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:57.399 is something 00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:58.460 that we are acquainted 00:09:58.460 --> 00:09:59.819 with on a regular basis 00:09:59.820 --> 00:10:01.060 especially through 00:10:01.060 --> 00:10:01.840 the Old Testament. 00:10:02.940 --> 00:10:03.680 That passage 00:10:03.680 --> 00:10:04.460 after passage 00:10:04.460 --> 00:10:05.340 we find that 00:10:05.340 --> 00:10:06.060 God's anger 00:10:06.060 --> 00:10:07.360 burns against 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:08.240 his people. 00:10:09.020 --> 00:10:09.960 But it is a 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:11.140 perfect anger, 00:10:11.280 --> 00:10:12.780 a righteous anger, 00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:14.600 an expected anger, 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:15.540 and I would say 00:10:15.540 --> 00:10:17.500 unnecessary anger 00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:18.840 that God has 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:20.000 against sin. 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:22.060 Yet what we'll find 00:10:22.060 --> 00:10:22.640 this morning 00:10:22.640 --> 00:10:23.400 as we look 00:10:23.400 --> 00:10:24.180 at this passage 00:10:24.180 --> 00:10:25.540 that God's anger 00:10:25.540 --> 00:10:26.460 is always 00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:27.160 accompanied 00:10:27.160 --> 00:10:28.260 by patience, 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:29.060 by endurance, 00:10:29.059 --> 00:10:30.000 by mercy, 00:10:30.119 --> 00:10:31.279 that in his anger 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:32.579 he invites 00:10:32.579 --> 00:10:33.239 those 00:10:33.239 --> 00:10:34.079 whom he's 00:10:34.079 --> 00:10:34.599 expressed 00:10:34.599 --> 00:10:35.179 his anger 00:10:35.179 --> 00:10:35.799 towards 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:37.179 to enjoy 00:10:37.179 --> 00:10:37.919 the benefits 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:38.959 of sacrifice 00:10:38.959 --> 00:10:39.959 and the provision 00:10:39.959 --> 00:10:40.979 that he's made 00:10:40.979 --> 00:10:41.399 for them 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:41.899 so they can 00:10:41.899 --> 00:10:42.719 enter in 00:10:42.719 --> 00:10:44.299 and be invited 00:10:44.299 --> 00:10:44.819 back 00:10:44.819 --> 00:10:45.939 to relationship 00:10:45.939 --> 00:10:46.639 and friendship 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:47.819 with God. 00:10:48.699 --> 00:10:49.399 We've seen 00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:50.099 God's anger 00:10:50.099 --> 00:10:51.059 and you're acquainted 00:10:51.059 --> 00:10:51.579 I'm sure 00:10:51.579 --> 00:10:52.759 with God's anger 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:53.859 in Exodus 32 00:10:53.859 --> 00:10:54.639 for example. 00:10:55.439 --> 00:10:56.219 That story 00:10:56.220 --> 00:10:57.220 of God 00:10:57.220 --> 00:10:57.879 who has led 00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:58.460 the children 00:10:58.460 --> 00:10:58.980 of Israel 00:10:58.980 --> 00:10:59.759 out of 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:00.820 this land 00:11:00.820 --> 00:11:01.420 of bondage 00:11:01.420 --> 00:11:02.139 out of Egypt 00:11:02.139 --> 00:11:02.960 and there 00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:03.480 they've made 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:03.940 their way 00:11:03.940 --> 00:11:05.320 to Mount Sinai 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:05.980 this mountain 00:11:05.980 --> 00:11:06.740 of God 00:11:06.740 --> 00:11:08.560 and God 00:11:08.560 --> 00:11:09.100 will speak 00:11:09.100 --> 00:11:09.639 to Moses 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:10.019 there 00:11:10.019 --> 00:11:11.180 and he'll speak 00:11:11.180 --> 00:11:12.379 to reestablish 00:11:12.379 --> 00:11:13.540 his covenant 00:11:13.540 --> 00:11:14.340 relationship 00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:15.180 with his people 00:11:15.180 --> 00:11:16.440 and while 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.040 Moses is there 00:11:18.040 --> 00:11:18.660 with God 00:11:18.660 --> 00:11:19.779 receiving these 00:11:19.779 --> 00:11:20.540 ten commandments 00:11:20.540 --> 00:11:21.560 you remember 00:11:21.560 --> 00:11:22.160 what the people 00:11:22.160 --> 00:11:22.500 of Israel 00:11:22.500 --> 00:11:22.960 are doing. 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:24.460 Rather than 00:11:24.460 --> 00:11:25.460 worshipping God 00:11:25.460 --> 00:11:26.800 they're worshipping 00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:27.480 a God 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:29.100 of a graven image 00:11:29.100 --> 00:11:30.620 this image 00:11:30.620 --> 00:11:32.040 of gold 00:11:32.040 --> 00:11:33.500 of a cow 00:11:33.500 --> 00:11:37.280 Moses is on 00:11:37.280 --> 00:11:38.180 the mountaintop 00:11:38.180 --> 00:11:39.480 and God's anger 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:39.879 burns 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:40.460 we see that 00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:41.460 in Exodus 32 00:11:41.460 --> 00:11:42.920 verses 9 and 10 00:11:42.920 --> 00:11:44.360 The Lord said 00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:44.780 to Moses 00:11:44.780 --> 00:11:45.700 I have seen 00:11:45.700 --> 00:11:46.300 this people 00:11:46.300 --> 00:11:46.840 behold 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:48.019 it is a stiff 00:11:48.019 --> 00:11:48.620 necked people 00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:49.900 now therefore 00:11:49.900 --> 00:11:50.620 let me alone 00:11:50.620 --> 00:11:52.320 that my wrath 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:53.220 may burn hot 00:11:53.220 --> 00:11:54.000 against them 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:54.800 and I may 00:11:54.800 --> 00:11:55.660 consume them 00:11:55.660 --> 00:11:56.120 in order 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:56.900 that I may 00:11:56.900 --> 00:11:57.760 make a great 00:11:57.760 --> 00:11:58.320 nation 00:11:58.320 --> 00:11:59.340 of you 00:11:59.340 --> 00:12:01.280 but as you 00:12:01.280 --> 00:12:01.580 remember 00:12:01.580 --> 00:12:02.520 Moses stood 00:12:02.520 --> 00:12:02.980 in the gap 00:12:02.980 --> 00:12:04.280 recognizing 00:12:04.280 --> 00:12:05.760 the proper 00:12:05.760 --> 00:12:06.700 and righteous 00:12:06.700 --> 00:12:07.940 anger of God 00:12:07.940 --> 00:12:08.660 but also 00:12:08.660 --> 00:12:10.120 reminding God 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:10.660 which God 00:12:10.660 --> 00:12:11.320 didn't need 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:11.980 to be reminded 00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:12.840 of but reminded 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:13.500 God of his 00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:14.000 promise 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:14.860 to Abraham
