Proverbs 22:2
Rich and poor have this in common — Adonai made them both.


Genesis 47:1 Then Yosef went in and told Pharaoh, "My father and brothers have come from the land of Kena`an with their flocks, livestock and all their possessions; right now they are in the land of Goshen." 2 He took five of his brothers and presented them to Pharaoh. 3 Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" They answered Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, both we and our ancestors," 4 and added, "We have come to live in the land, because in the land of Kena`an there is no place to pasture your servant's flocks, the famine is so severe there. Therefore, please, let your servants live in the land of Goshen."

Genesis 47:5 Pharaoh said to Yosef, "Your father and brothers have come to you, 6 and the land of Egypt lies before you. Have your father and brothers live on the best property in the country — let them live in the land of Goshen. Moreover, if you know that some of them are particularly competent, put them in charge of my livestock."

Genesis 47:7 Yosef then brought in Ya`akov his father and presented him to Pharaoh, and Ya`akov blessed Pharaoh. 8 Pharaoh asked Ya`akov, "How old are you?" 9 and Ya`akov replied, "The time of my stay on earth has been 130 years; they have been few and difficult, fewer than the years my ancestors lived." 10 Then Ya`akov blessed Pharaoh and left his presence.

Genesis 47:11 Yosef found a place for his father and brothers and gave them property in the land of Egypt, in the best region of the country, in the land of Ra`amses, as Pharaoh had ordered. 12 Yosef provided food for his father, his brothers and all his father's household, taking full care of even the youngest.

Genesis 47:13 There was no food anywhere, for the famine was very severe, so that both Egypt and Kena`an grew weak from hunger. 14 Yosef collected all the money there was in Egypt and Kena`an in exchange for the grain they bought, and put the money in Pharaoh's treasury. 15 When all the money in Egypt had been spent, and likewise in Kena`an, all the Egyptians approached Yosef and said, "Give us something to eat, even though we have no money; why should we die before your eyes?" 

Genesis 47:16 Yosef replied, "Give me your livestock. If you don't have money, I will give you food in exchange for your livestock." 17 So they brought Yosef their livestock; and Yosef gave them food in exchange for the horses, flocks, cattle and donkeys — all that year he provided them with food in exchange for all their livestock.

Genesis 47:18 When that year was over, they approached Yosef again and said to him, "We won't hide from my lord that all our money is spent, and the herds of livestock belong to my lord. We have nothing left, as my lord can see, but our bodies and our land. 19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we and our land will be enslaved to Pharaoh. But also give us seed to plant, so that we can stay alive and not die, and so that the land won't become barren." 

Genesis 47:20 So Yosef acquired all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh, as one by one the Egyptians sold their fields, because the famine weighed on them so severely. Thus the land became the property of Pharaoh. 21 As for the people, he reduced them to serfdom city by city, from one end of Egypt's territory to the other. 22 Only the priests' land did he not acquire, because the priests were entitled to provisions from Pharaoh, and they ate from what Pharaoh provided them; therefore they did not sell their land.

Genesis 47:23 Then Yosef said to the people, "As of today I have acquired you and your land for Pharaoh. Here is seed for you to sow the land. 24 When harvest time comes, you are to give twenty percent to Pharaoh; eighty percent will be yours to keep for seed to plant in the fields, as well as for your food and for that of your households and your little ones."

Genesis 47:25 They replied, "You have saved our lives! So if it pleases my lord, we will be Pharaoh's slaves." 26 Yosef made it a law for the country of Egypt, valid to this day, that Pharaoh should have twenty percent. Only the property belonging to the priests did not become Pharaoh's.

Genesis 47:27 Isra'el lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. They acquired possessions in it and were productive, and their numbers multiplied greatly.

Genesis 47:28 Ya`akov lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; thus Ya`akov lived to be 147 years old. 29 The time came when Isra'el was approaching dea

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yes, visit lasershoplive dot com right now. Let them know.
Watson from Battle for Freedom sent you can, and of
course I don't have one with me but I will
share a couple more things.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Hello, I'm doctor Lee at horizontal hive dot com and
I keep this naturally.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
And then everything starts.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
By catching a local freeze swarm of honeybees. If you
put a small beehive like that on the tree in
the springtime, just as birds move into birthhouses, bees, we'll
move into a little high like that. After that, you
take the frames, put them in a bigger box. They expand,
they collect hany it from the flowers and make good
high from.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
You for you. And it can be as simple as that.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
No sugar fitting, no chemical treatments. I'm doing it for
a living, and there are so many people who do
the same thing. You can learn more in the book
keeping Vies with a smile, And that's exactly that, doing
natural beekeeping and smiling the same time.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
I see a couple of comments reviewsers, will hie out
to you over there Lisa in Facebook and Curtis and
Larry over in Facebook. Curtis says, ron is laser monster trucks.
Now you know what, anything, I've been out of the
loop for so long, anything could be possible. So enjoy that.

(03:31):
Enjoy that. It will go from there. Oh my goodness
was taking hilarious. He will kill me. So, you know,
technology is humbling and I love the I love the
experiences some well not all the live, painful experiences. But
it's really cool because of the fact that one of

(03:52):
the things it does is it kind of keeps us
humble when we think we have technology under underway and
under control. And so today when I go to you
from what I wanted to share on Wednesday, is this
idea from hunger to Hubris. Well, no hunger from Hubris,
condescensions cost see what we're gonna do here over the

(04:15):
next I don't know how long as we get ready
to go through this broadcast. It's a very interesting where
where in Genesis forty seven we had Joseph. You know,
Joseph was basically second in command. His father was destitute
because of his favoritism that he had. He loved, he

(04:36):
loved Rachel, he loved Rachel's children, and he almost acted
like the other children didn't exist. And if anything were
to happen to any of those kids, it would be
the end of his life. Well, his young his second youngest,
whom he loved with everything he had, ended up basically
being alive and their savior in Egypt, and now they've
moved down. But what happens is in the midst of

(04:58):
sometimes one of the things that happens in the midst
of tragedy. And we're grateful for the people who come
in and help us. But sometimes we get a little
bit too comfortable, and we think like tragedy will never
revisit us. We get too lax, we get too comfortable,

(05:19):
and we never learned from the first tragedy that overtook
us and made life very, very difficult. So let's look
into this, and let's cover a couple of different things here.
The first one I want to go over is this,
because this is I think one of the major costs
are major things that people should consider, is that regardless

(05:42):
of your socioeconomists, you know, this reminds me. This passage
reminds me of Glatians three twenty eight. Whether it says
there's neither Greek nor Jew, bond, nor free male nor female,
for we're all or man nor woman, for we're all
one in Christ. Right like this passage here with Proverbs
twenty two to two. It says rich and poor have

(06:04):
this in common, Ada, and I made them both. And
what I like about that is that what it does
is it says, you know. It reminds me of the
third part of Glatians three twenty eight. Listen, bond nor
free slave. I don't care what your sociodic economic status is.
You're all the same. It was one of the Christian

(06:25):
artists had a song we all bleed the same that
it's that, it's it's it's to basically keep us humble
to never what is it? Second was it Philippians two four.
I think it says, don't think more highly of yourself
than you ought. And another passage where your shoe is
basically says he he will he will exalt the humble,

(06:48):
and he will humble the exaltant. Because at the end
of the day, we're all the same. So when tragedy strikes,
and I think we saw something four or five years
ago during the pandemic where people were they saw themselves
as more important. There's stuff more valuable, they were hoarding stuff,

(07:12):
you know. I mean, I guess it's first come, first
serve basis. But I think when tragedy strikes, we all
automatically think that our lives are more important than other people.
We look down on people and in the end, the
Lord basically humbles us. I think this is what happens
as well in Yeah, because I wanted you to hear

(07:36):
something because it was very interesting as we get into
forty six, chapter forty seven, I wanted to read something
that was really key in the last verse of forty
six that really sets the stage for the humility that's
going to take place in this passage here. And it

(07:56):
was just this whole idea of Yakakov is taking his
family and Joseph's Joseph Joseph's siblings. And this is the
last verse. This is verse the vice two verses. This
is really key when we look at this passage. Now
verse thirty three. Now, when Pharaoh summons you and asks

(08:17):
what is your occupation verse thirty four, tell him your
servants have been keepers of the flock, flock of livestock
from our youth until now, both we and our ancestors.
This will ensure that you will live in the land
of Goshen. For any shepherd is abhorrent to the Egyptians.
And again you can see like there is this way
the Egyptians looked down at anyone who was a shepherd

(08:40):
as a second class citizen. They looked at looked at
them down, and looked down on him as a second
class citizen. And we have people who do that now
where they look at they look at Americans, they look
at whomever it is, and they have a very condescending
view of who that person is. Oh, you don't have
an education. I mean, what was it what we saw
covid If you didn't go to college, you you were

(09:02):
a Trump supporter. You were incestuous Trump supporter who basically
father sired many children. You know, someone's mother and mother
and father were brother, brother and sister. That was the condescension.
That was the language we heard from the people who
basically said that the science was more important than reality

(09:23):
and common sense. So we saw this negative behavior and
the Lord is going to yeah, that's right, curtis the
whole me me, me me generation and we don't care
about other people. So I saw this whole idea of
the shepherd's not being seen as human beings. It just

(09:46):
sat in the back of my head. So I was like, Okay,
let's work through that. Ada and I have made them both,
so let's continue with this. So let's get into this
where we're in genesis forty seven first one. Then Joseph
went in and told Pharaoh, my father and brothers have
come from the land of Cannon with their flocks, livestock,

(10:09):
and all their possessions. Right now they are in the
land of Goshen. He took five of his brothers and
presented them to Pharaoh. Pharaoh did said to his brothers,
what is your occupation? Then they said, They answered, Pharaoh,
your servants are shepherds, both we and our ancestors, and added,
we have come to live in the land because in
the land of Cantanon there is no place to pasture

(10:32):
your servants flocks. The famine is so severe there. Therefore,
please let your servants live in the land of Goshen.
And also just a quick comment too, I keep saying chapters.
There were no chapters in these books. We just created
the chapters. So this is a recurring This is a
continuing thought or understanding and dialogue from what happened in

(10:54):
the previous chapter. But is here this there, at this
moment where there Joseph is making a plead. He's pleading
for his kin. He understands he's in a position where
he has been blessed, but he doesn't want to take
his position for granted and assume he can just do whatever.
So he takes the ride of humility, because guess what,

(11:17):
he didn't have that route of humility before he went
through the situation with his brothers. But now over the year,
through basically betrayal, through false accusations and false imprisonment, he
finds himself in a position where he still has to
answer to Pharaoh, and he chooses the route of I

(11:39):
know I played a great part in helping the kingdom survive,
but I still want to respect the authority that's before me.
And that's I think that's Joseph, Joseph remaining humble before Pharaoh.
I think that there are times too that we sometimes

(12:00):
we get we get a little stuck up for ourselves
and put ourselves in this position where we think we're
all that in the bag of chips until the Lord
has to come in and humble us. So we watch
this thing unfold, and so Pharaoh decides that he's going
to be kind to them Versus five. Starting verse five,
Pharaoh said to Joseph, your father and your brothers have

(12:22):
come to you, and the land of Egypt lies before you.
Have your father and brothers live and the best property
in the country. Let them live in the land of Goshen. Moreover,
more more, moreover, if you forever, if you not, if
you not, if you know that some of them are

(12:43):
particularly competent, put them in charge of my livestock. So
he recognizes, Pharaoh recognizes you saved my bacon no pun intended.
He says, you say things for us. We could have
been in a really horrible situation, but you interpreted a

(13:03):
dream that helped me understand exactly what we're experiencing right now.
And if they're related to you and they're half as
good as what you are, you are, Oh, I want
I want your kin. I want anything that looks like
you to be in charge of the things that are
that are valuable to me. Okay, Because while the people

(13:26):
who are in decadence, the the the the uper elites
who sit there and they enjoy their drinks, their parties
and their their orgies and everything like that because they
think that they could do whatever whatever they have their
Epstein islands and everything like that going on. In Egypt,
we have this situation where they think that because they're

(13:47):
rich and they're powerful, that the company or the country's
success is because of their existence, not realizing there there
are workers, There are people who have to work and
provide for the very necessity that we take for granted
that others take for granted. And sometimes we even us,
whether we're in middle class or even lower class, we

(14:08):
take certain things for granted because we just always assume
that those things will be there, and we look down.
We look down on the people, the farmers who provide
our food, the law enforcement who provide our protection, the
service workers, you know, whether they're you know, in any
industry who provides needs that we look down on, saying, oh,

(14:32):
I never take that role. Ne would say never, But
Pharaoh realizes, if your brothers blessed me, there's a high
probability that there's someone in your group who can bless
me as well. So I'm going to continue to put,
because of my gratitude for what your brother's done for me,
what you've done for me, put any other person who

(14:53):
has the ability to do the same thing, in charge
of what's in valuable to me. Mice, mice, livestock, the very,
the very where I get my food from. You remember
in the dream that Joseph, Joseph had translated, I mean
between the what was it, the the the cup bearer

(15:17):
and the other individual, one loss is head and one
was restored to his position. That cup bearer position is
very key because you're you're you're not just eating drink,
giving him a drink, you're also taking a one on
one chance or fifty to fifty chance every time you
grab that that goblet that there could be poison in there.

(15:43):
But this is what Pharaoh was saying. I want your
family to be in charge of this. That's very very
very powerful. Pharaoh's being kind. Let's continue here. Let's see Yep,
nothing nothing yet, just check it. Oh there's left heylep.
Thank you for joining me being part of the program.
He comes on Sunday twelve pm some Standard time, twelve

(16:07):
pm some standard time on rumble dot com. What you
want to do is you want to go to rumble
dot com twelve pm on Sunday look for a program
called Ain't You a Peach? This week he's basically talking
about beers, bourbons, and booms. You want to you want
to talk about jacka tints Hey, if our country survives

(16:35):
the drama for tomorrow, maybe they'll be something to be
celebrating beers, bourbon and boobs. Oh I love it great,
happy part of the program left truly good. But we
sit there. We now get into this new phase where
there's gonna be gratitude on Yako because the fact he realizes,

(16:57):
you know what do you you oh this whole case
them as yours and you've kept the son that I
loved with everything I have alive, and now you're blessing
me and my family to live in the best land.
And think about that is the people who look down

(17:18):
at the shepherds. The people who look down the shepherds,
the king, the pharaoh, the highest ruler in the country,
saw great value in them because they controlled their livestock,
the food, what's consumed by the highest in order in
that country, and he puts them in the best land

(17:41):
in the country. Its just the people who understand our worth,
will recognize our worth and treat us with the due
respect or bless us the way that the Lord sees fit.
That's all I have to say with that respect to that,
So let us not get all caught up in ourselves

(18:01):
and have an a lack and attitude of gratitude. Joseph
brought brought in Yakakov his father and presented him to Pharaoh,
and Yakakov blessed Pharaoh. Pharaoh asked Yakov, how old are you?
And Yako replied, the time of my stay on earth
has been one hundred and thirty years. They have been
a few and difficult here than the years my answers lived.

(18:26):
Then Yakakov blessed Pharaoh and left his presence. He recognized that,
you know what, I've been on this earth, and you
know what, my answers lived a lot longer than this,
And so you know what I'm going to do is
I'm going to count my blessings being appreciative of what
I have. Again, try again. I think there's this hubris

(18:51):
that even in church Ianity, that's pushed I know if
I've heard it, I've I've bought into the lies I've
brought into the the unfortunate language has been pushed forward about.
You know, we could come before God with boldness and
and and we could just walk into and just call
him Maba, daddy, and and just and and literally have

(19:14):
no respect for the Lord. We could just show up,
show up to him and speak to him in any
way we want to. In prayer, we get too familiar
in our prayer and what happens is in our familiarity.
It breathed contempt. We showed disdain and disrespect to the
Lord and the way that we we remember. I saw

(19:36):
this video of that that uh they they took. It
was a pastor speaking in like the latest generation of
speak or I spoke as a millennial or a whatever,
and they just used all these terms and it was
just so irreverent. I know people are like, oh, you

(20:00):
gotta you gotta gotta reach people where they are and
you got to speak at a level that they can understand. No. No,
sometimes it's best that we raise people out of the
stupor we've left them in that they become more educated
and have better understanding of His word and most important,
reverence for the Lord. We get to we get we

(20:23):
get too comfortable. I think that that's something I will
say that I didn't I did not like is there
was times I was too comfortable and the things that
I thought, said, presumed and taught in church yanity and
I left I led people astray. I put people in

(20:44):
the positions that they were too difficult to bear because
it was based on fault of faultiness whereas if you
just look at Torah, the answers are right there. It is.
It is in hyper grace. Mentality is being pushed in Churchianity.

(21:10):
It is far easier to be out of line and
out of accordance with the will of the Lord. It's
much easier when you blur the lines, when you blur
the bound boundaries with hyper grace language. It's far easy.
When you have disasters of like what happened with the

(21:32):
Newsboys and Michael Tate, that we find out that there
is this double life of stuff going on, all of
us will be humbled. Could be one of the most
famous musical performers in create Churchianity, and the Lord will
humble us. All yeah, when we when when we when

(21:59):
we tree ministry as our stepping stone, stepping stone, and
we show no reverence, the Lord will humble us. So
he's looking for he's looking for you, humble people. He's
looking for humble people. Let's continue Verse thirteen. No, no,

(22:24):
not verse eleven. Yoseph found a place for his father
and brothers and gave them the property in the land
of Egypt and the best region of the country in
the land of Rameses. As Pharaoh had ordered Joseph or
provided food for his father and his brothers and all
his father's household, taking full care of even the youngest.

(22:49):
The Lord put him in a position. And now again
here's here's the danger of being put in the best land.
The land of Rameses was the best land, goshen Will
basically where I believe the shepherds would live. But still,
because even in decadence, there could be a level of

(23:10):
hubris and an attitude where, even even amongst the rich,
some people look, well you only have five cars, I
have twelve, Well you come for this kind of stock.
There's there's there's even hubris between old money and new money,
the people who have had money for generations versus someone
who got lucky in and ended up winning the lottery,

(23:34):
and that for some strange reason that that money, that
that value is not as important as those who have
had money for generations. It's unfortunate, but I mean, you
just we have a tendency to put more value on ourselves,
and we allow our things to identify us rather than
our creator. And the Lord humbles those who choose to

(23:57):
do to not show reverence to him and think that
it's all about us. So it's just it's just very interesting.
It's a humbling it's a humbling thing that we see,
and we watched this. But Israel is now eleven and twelve,
all right, so it did push up twelve and thirteen. Yep. Sorry,

(24:20):
I'll continue now even with this before we go to
a break, we'll do to uh, we'll continue fifteen. Yeah,
we'll do that before the break comes up. Shortly, there
was no food anywhere, for the famine was so severe.
It was very severe, so that both Egypt and Canon

(24:42):
grew weak from hunger. Joseph collected all the money there
was in Egypt and Cananan, and in exchange for the grain,
they bought and put the money in Pharaoh's treasury when
all the money in Egypt had been spent, And likewise
in Canon, all the Egyptians Protioseph and said, give us
something to eat, even though we have no money. Why

(25:04):
should we die before your eyes? So what happens is
all the money again, people were going off and they
were buying, They were buying, they were buying. They just
automatically assumed that the store was always going to be open,
and then they were always just be able to buy
something until they ran out of money, and I guess

(25:26):
here's the part about it for me that I guess
this is the part about it for me that really
sticks things out. And I'm trying to make sense of
this because they knew a famine was coming, and they
find themselves in a really bad prediction I mean predicament. Yes,
I know, it's it's not like something we can always control.

(25:48):
But I wonder sometimes, I wonder sometimes if we hey, hey, Brenda,
thank you for joining me being part of the program.
I wonder if we get so oh las we just think,
you know, like I just remember many of the countries
around the world over the last like two decades we
watched where the people in the country, like countries like

(26:12):
Greece and May even even Cyprus and others where the
people were so used to just going to the ATM
machine basically pulling out money, so there was no reason
to keep money under undneath your pillow, not like we
do that, because that's completely dumb. We'd even lose that
money if we did that. But but they don't put

(26:36):
money aside for worst case scenarios. They just automatically assume
the money's gonna be there. We have free access to it,
and there are times where it's like, hey, if we're
if we're not watching the numbers, things can go bad.
Things can go wrong if we're not watching the numbers.
And honestly, we should have. We should have been misers

(27:02):
during the last administration and we're better yet, we should
be misers now. We should be storing stuff away like
not tomorrow. I think the people they're getting a little
bit too overconfident. No, the prices are still high. Yeah,
the prices could potentially come down, but people are already

(27:22):
going back to normal and living. They're vacationing, they're doing
a whole lot of different things, almost like, hey, it's
only up from here. It's only up from here. That's
the mentality that they have with respect to how bad
things can get in this country. And they don't realize
we haven't hit rock bottom. We have not hit rock bottom.

(27:47):
I think there's a phrase in one of the movies
that we love, it's Bridesmaid, where the that's actually it's
a perfect example. The girl Annie I believe her name is,
that she plays in Bridesmaid, she just was living life
to its fullest and never thinking that the bill would

(28:10):
finally come do and it was like halfway through the
movie or three charters the way through the movie that
she finally hit rock bottom. We have not hit rock
bottom in the United States yet. I mean, what happened
during COVID the pandemic. That was low, but that was
a rock bottom. I think people need to recognize it's

(28:31):
tied to wake up because the worst is yet to come.
The worst is yet to come. We better wake up
because we were about to get humble in ways we
never could imagine. Let's do this, folks, Let's go to
a break. I'll talk to you amazing people on the
flip side some one Verse one, how blessed are those

(29:04):
who reject the advice of the wicked, don't stand on
the way of sinners, or sit where the scoffers sit.
I love this because it's basically saying that the person
does not want to associate with wickedness in any way,
from hearing, standing near associating, nor being comfortable enough to
rest in its presence. Verst two says their delight is

(29:27):
innatronized Torah on his tor They meditate day and night.
In other words, they love the teachings of God, and
this is what they think about day and night. They
are like trees planted by the streams. They bear their
fruit in season. They are leaves, never wither. Everything they
do succeeds. First tree is basically hinting that there's life

(29:49):
in them, and it's not murky, stagnant water that passes
by them or fills them. It's flowing, life giving, clean water.
But verse four said, not so the wicked, who are
like chaff driven by the wind. Chaff. It's a substitute
or it looks like or an imitation of wheat that
has no substance and has no value, and it's easily manipulated.

(30:11):
For this reason, the wicked won't stand up to the judgment,
nor will sinners at the gathering of the righteous. In
other words, there is no hope for those who reject
the teachings of Adenai, who reject his tora. They will
not be able to stand, even though they think that
their gods, the lord of creation, will humble them Verse six.
For Adenai watches over the way of the righteous, but

(30:34):
the way of the wicked is doomed. In other words,
if our goal is to reject Adenai his teachings, his torah,
his rule, his order, that means that we will suffer
the consequences of living in no order and complete chaos,
facing his wrath for eternity. Why because we rejected his truth,

(31:05):
triggering change one heartbeat at a time. Battle for Freedom.
Welcome back everyone. I'm your host Watson Premier from Battle
of Freedom on Modrefiber Radio. Oh there was a reverb. Okay,
thanks leap, I did not know that. I'll fix whatever

(31:27):
this audio problem is. Thank you very much for catching him.
Let me know I'll get that fixed. So here we
are once again. Oh yeah, I think I know what
it is. We're gonna turn that right there. Hopefully it'll
be gone now. Thank you, sir. I appreciate you. Yeah,

(31:56):
it's fun, a lot of fun. So, as we say,
we go through this whole process of just being humbled technology. Technology,
for those of us who do live radio, is always
humbling sometimes on what if it's just better just pre
record stuff and just push it out. But I love

(32:17):
I love this interaction though. I love the comments from
crazy people like Curtis over there, and amazing people like
Larry over there and everyone who leaves amazing comments. I
appreciate every last one of you. But it's always time
to be humbled. You know, the low will humble us.
And if we get too comfortable thinking that everything is

(32:37):
just going to work the way that we want to.
So we're here in Genesis forty seven and we're basically
talking about these challenges from hubris, hunger, from humors. How
we get there, and let's let's continue on this because
of the fact that this is where the rubber starts
beating the road. Verse thirteen through fifteen. Well, it didn't update.

(33:04):
Oh I did not do that. Oh I did everything
else except update all the passages and one of the
things weren't lining up. Yeah, those were for Firse forty six,
I mean chapter forty six. Let's let's read from here

(33:25):
and continue as fourth thirteen through fifteen. There's no food, yes,
so this is the early birth pangs. Okay, the birth
pangs were there was no hunger. I mean there was
no food in their experiencing hunger and they don't want
to die. We were talking about that before the break,
and then we start looking into verse sixteen through seven.

(33:47):
Yoseph replied, give me your livestock. If you don't have
any money, I will give you food in exchange for
your livestock. So they brought Yoseph their livestock, and Yoseph
gave them food in exchange for their horses, blocks, cattle,
and donkeys all the year, all that the year, he
all that year he provided them with food in exchange

(34:08):
for all their livestock. Now see this is again, this
is the part that I don't seem to understand. If
you have livestock, you have food. Think about that. If
you have livestock, you have food. Whether it's swine, whether

(34:30):
it's chicken, whether it's foul, whether it's cows with whether
it's goats, sheet whatever. If you have livestock, you actually
do have food. I don't think you hear what I'm saying.
If you have livestock, you have food in the midst

(34:52):
of a famine, because but here's a challenge. They were
too lazy to kill their livestock to survive. Listen, listen,
LISEI here this is this is really key. This is

(35:14):
this is this is important. They gave their livestock to
Joseph complaining about hunger and not having any money. They
didn't even recognize the value that they had because they
were too busy living extravagantly. HM it's kind of like how.

(35:36):
It's kind of like how when you see when people
turn around and they lived lavishly and then they end
up starting to not donate but pawn things off. They
start pawning the decadence off one by one, getting rid
of the those expensive things that it was fun to

(35:58):
have when they had everything and every life was perfect.
And then here it's this is this we get into
early asset forfeiture because the fact that they didn't think
beyond their next entertainment. They didn't. They didn't they didn't
imagine to perceive life and when it could be worse

(36:22):
and they ever could imagine. So here it is they're like,
oh we we we just hey, take our land. You
took all off our money. Not take our land, but
take our livestock again, the food that can that they
can sustain them. They are giving it up to take
the time to actually kill their own livestock. Or I'm

(36:46):
putting inst soil and green and honey and then in
the solar of it. No, speaking of solar otter, did
I do that one? Let's do that belief.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Hey, my name's Tripp, and I want to introduce you
the sun oven. This is our all American son Oven.
We've been making these for the last thirty five years.
We're in one hundred and twenty six different countries all
over the world. And basically we call this a solar
crock pot, and it's used to be able to just
put your food in there and slow cook it with
the power of the sun. You can never burn, sports
or dry anything out inside the sun Oven. Once you

(37:22):
put it in, the sun reflects all of these reflectors
in through the glass into the inner chamber, and it
reaches temperatures between three hundred and three hundred and fifty degrees. Really,
the design is very simple. It's like the greenhouse effect.
If you got in your car during the summer and
it's really really hot. That's what's happening inside the sun oven.
You know, anything you cook in your regular oven, you
can cook inside the sun Oven. You can use any

(37:43):
of your existing pots and pans if they'll fit in here,
you can cook with them in here, just like you
do in your regular oven. It's designed for you to
be able to cook your meal out with the power
of the sun. And literally the longer you keep stuff
in here, the more juicy and tender it is. So
that's a quick introduction to the sun open.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
Thank you. So here's a question readverb again. So yeah,
So I'm not gonna I'm gonna leave those ad spots
alone for now and just I'll just focus on just
talking to you until I can figure out what's going
on here. I need to get rid of some of
this equipment and maybe upgrading, do something different here. That's annoying,

(38:21):
that's unfortunate, but that's life and reality, and we're gonna
deal with it. So son of it, solar Urs, thank
you so much. Soilt greed. I haven't heard that coming
for you in a long time. I guess. I guess
that was due for that. Who we were due for
soilent greed. So sixty through seventeen, so they basically hand

(38:48):
over there as a forfeiture. This is the first phase.
Then we look in a little bit further. Let see, yeah,
verses eighteen nineteen. When that year was over, they approached
Shiosophica and said to him, we won't hide from my
Lord that all of our money is spent, and the
herds of livestock belong to my lord. We have nothing

(39:10):
not we have nothing, nothing, nothing left as my lord
can see. But our bodies and our land. Why should
we die before our eyes, both we and our land,
by us and our land for food, and we will
we and our land will be enslaved to Pharaoh. But
give us, give us seed to plant so that we

(39:32):
can stay alive and not die, and so that the
land won't become barren. This is this is this is
the part about what I don't understand is they had
the money, they had the livestock, they could have bought

(39:54):
the seed already to planned to have food. They see
because they're like, give a seed and we'll plant so
we'll have something to eat. Because they realized that, hey,
you have something that we didn't. What did you do? Oh,
we heard you were you were storing up. We heard
that you were you were preparing for this situation. Literally

(40:20):
when when so this is either year two, three, or
four when things are really bad, it's going to be
a seven year period. When when Pharaoh Joseph, Joseph was
basically stocking up the treasuries for for food, grain and
all these different things, didn't anyone stop and say, hey,

(40:41):
what's going on? Government's pretty quiet, What's what's going on?
Do we miss something? Is something happening here, But no,
they didn't turn around and do that. They just chose.
They just chose to They just Joseph just live is like,
I think they were having too much beers, beers, bourbon

(41:04):
and boobs. This Sunday, twelve pm. Beas just tend a
time on rubble check out check out eight uopeach and
guess what. They will not be an echo or reverberations
in his broadcast unless he intentionally puts it there to
make fun of me, which I deserve. But I just

(41:27):
I just find it very humorous. I'm like, why did
you just buy scene in the first place? But they
were too decadent to care. They were too decadent to care,
and in the end it came back and bit them
in the end because they just thought it was I'm
not lowering myself to that stuff Peans Yes, Verse twenty.

(41:51):
So Joseph acquired all the land in Egypt if for
Pharaoh as one by one the Egyptians sold their fields
because the famine waid on them so severely. Thus the
land became the property of Pharaoh. As for the people,
he reduced them to serfdom city by city from one
end of Egypt's territory to the other. Only the priest's land.

(42:14):
He didn't He did not acquire because the priests were
entitled to provisions from Pharaoh, and they ate from what
Pharaoh provided them. Therefore, they did not sell their land.
It's interesting. I find that very interesting, and that there
was a specific group of people who were kept from

(42:36):
who were kept from the poverty. And it's we know
that we know the rest of the story that happens
once we get into exodus. But I think that one
of the even in the higher up there's a level
in an area where you mill, there will be times
to be humbled. I find this very interesting is that

(42:59):
they they've now become slaves, serfs, They've they've become wards
of the state because of the fact that they chose
not to prepare for the worst case scenario. I think
this is a warning for all of us. I think books,
when the Lord writes something is we need to start

(43:22):
looking at the surrounding story. We need to understand the
context of what's happening. I think we focus too much
on the rescues. I think we I think it's one
of the biggest dangers of church uanity is that we
we focus on the mountaintops. But we never prepare people
for the valleys. We we we we we are always

(43:43):
looking for people jump from mountaintop experience the mountaintop experience.
Why do you think that we churched We hop so
much from church to church to church to church, because
we're constantly looking for this high experience, this high elevation.
We're looking for elevat should worship and and it's and
that is not so much elevate valuation worship as is

(44:07):
elevation fundship. Because we don't want to We don't want
to be anywhere where we're going to be challenged. We
don't want to be anywhere where where if the word
is presented to us that we're not living within the
confines of God's word. Oh gotta go, you're too much
in my business. I don't want to. I I'm done
with you. I've tolerated your foolishness long enough. And we

(44:33):
get very comfortable, We get very very comfortable, and then
the Lord sends he sends a wind, a terrible wind,
and we get very humbled, very very quickly. If we
keep thinking that there won't be any consequences to our actions,
it's a youth or uh verse twenty three. Thing you

(44:56):
also said to the to the people, as of today,
I have acquired you and your land for Pharaoh. Here
is the seed for you to sow the land. And
again this is we are maybe year three, somewhere between
year three and year five, and their seed that could

(45:19):
be planted in the land in the midst of a famine.
That means that there was always time. There was always
a chance for there to be growth if we put
forth the work. There was always a chance for sustenance.

(45:40):
If we're willing to put forth the work. There's always
a chance to store up if we're willing to put
forth the work. There was a famine, there was no food, okay,
but it didn't say there was a drought. And sometimes

(46:01):
we make it all the same that, oh there's nothing
I can do. Like I love this when when you
have kids they complain about being bored. My kids don't
do it as much now as they used to do
in the past. But you know, there's nothing for me
to do when you turn the TV off, nothing for

(46:23):
me to do, Like I'm sitting a thinking, like there's paper,
there's drawing. There are tons of books on the shelves,
you can read. Oh, certainly, baby, there are certain there
are things that can be done. And I just look
at this thing they turned out. He's like, I'll go

(46:46):
give you seat, you can go play it. And I'm
just kind of like, why warn't you planning from the beginning. Oh,
oh my goodness. It's just when we look at the stuff,
we start seeing the bigger picture. It's just it's it's

(47:06):
very funny when we watch the behavior of people. Ah,
let's see. Yeah, let's look like at twenty five, twenty six,
they replied, you have saved our lives, so if it
pleases my lord, we will be pharaoh slaves. Joseph made
it a law for the country a country of Egypt,

(47:28):
valid to this day, that pharaoh should have twenty percent
only the property belonging to the priests did not become pharaohs.
So this is this is basically a willingness to live
in slavery and a living tax. A living tax. The's
gonna have twenty percent of whatever they make from the seeds.

(47:51):
In other words, guess what, I'm going to let you
provide for yourself, but understand you are not going to
keep it all to yourself. See that's what you got.
You got you in the first place. That's what got
you in the first place, is that you just lived
like you were the only person that mattered. But what

(48:11):
we're going to do is we're going to teach you
stewards proper stewardship at a cost. We're going to teach
you to save up better at a cost because there
are other people, because not everybody in Egypt could have
money and livestock and land and property to sell. So

(48:36):
at the end of the day, even the rich people,
because the rich and the poor are this that the
ad and I made them both that now you have
the rich reduced to the same level as the poor.
The end, if you're in a position where you could have,

(48:58):
you could buy Who are the who are the new shepherds?
Who are the new farmers? The people who thought it
was beneath them to do the very work that they
despise and like looked at on Oh Lord, oh my goodness.

(49:20):
It's just it's just amazing when we sit there we
watch how the Lord just does things. It's just h yo, Lord,
help us. Just just I love it. I love the

(49:41):
the stuff is great. When you see people get humbled,
it's not not comfortable, but it is a humbling thing.
Let's first verse twenty seven. Here's your lived in the
land of Egypt seventeen years. They acquired possessions in it
and were productive, and their numbers multiplied greatly. Now here's
one of the ones where they were getting fat and happy. Okay.

(50:06):
And the reason why I say this is because of
the fact that, remember, the famine was only to be
seven years. They moved in in year two. So that
means that if they were there for seventeen years, that
means that they extended their stay twelve years too many.

(50:30):
I'll let you do the math later. It's not a
very difficult word word problem. But they overextended their stay
Verse twenty Eighthe if we look at this, Yakov lived
in the land of Egypt seventeen years. Thus Yakov lived

(50:50):
to be one hundred and forty seven years old. The
time came when Israel was finally approaching death. So he
called for his son Joseph. And this is this is
what I love about this, Okay. He over extended his stay. Right.
He saw that, he saw the he saw the people

(51:11):
for who they were. Check this out. So he called
for his son Joseph and said to him, if you
truly love me, Rauh, place your hand, Please put your
hands under my thigh, and pledge that out of consideration
for me, you will not bury me in Egypt. Rather,
when I sleep with my fathers, you are to carry

(51:33):
me out of Egypt and bury me where my where
they they are buried. He replied, I will do as
you have said. He said, swear to me, and he
swore to him. Then Israel bowed down at the head
of his bed. The grass wasn't greener in everything that
he lived on. He was appreciative that his son saved

(51:53):
him and saved that everybody when there was a famine
in the land. But now he spent seventeen years there,
five years through the remainder of the famine, but in
twelve more years added to that. And I'm sure that
while he was living in the best land in Egypt,
that he saw things and he said, oh, I can't

(52:15):
be buried here. There are things happening here that I
don't I don't want in my death to be associated
with Take my bones, bury me where my father's died,
because this land will be cursed. This land will suffer

(52:35):
greatly because of the hubris, the arrogance of the people
in charge. We went through famine, we didn't learn, we
didn't have appreciations and he appreciation for what was going
on and the provisions of the Lord. Yeah, I don't
want to be here when I die. I don't listen.

(52:55):
I don't know what my afterlife, after life will look like,
but I know I don't want this land tainting it nothing.
We get comfortable, we get very very comfortable, and we
don't think that we just we are so used to
experiencing greatness that we never even conceive of the idea

(53:17):
that there'll be time where the Lord will humble us
and make us be apprecied of of what we have.
And there are things that we just don't want to
be associated with anymore. I'm sorry, there are just certain
there are a lot of things in churching. I'm not sorry. Actually,
I'm grateful for the awakening that take place, you know,
more than thirteen months ago, and making the decision to

(53:38):
start following Torah, not oral Torah, not talmodic Torah for
those who are too quickly to dismiss reading the word
for what it says and trying to live within the
boundaries that have been establishing God's word. I think that
this here's a final passage I want to share with you,

(53:59):
and this is out of Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes eight fourteen through sixteen.
I think this passage helped makes me understand why people
are so indifferent apathetic. It's because of the fact that

(54:21):
here is his verse fourteen. There is something frustrating that
occurs on earth, namely that there are righteous people to
whom things will happen as if they were doing wicked deeds.
And again there are wicked people to whom things happen
as if they were doing righteous deeds. I say this
that say that this too is pointless, So I recommend enjoyment.

(54:46):
A person can do nothing better under the sun than eat, drink,
and enjoy himself. This is what should accompany him as
he does his work for as long as God, as
God gives him to live under the sun. When I
applied myself to gain wisdom and observe how people occupy
themselves on earth, that people's eyes don't see sleep, either

(55:09):
that by day or by night. I remember this passage
because it do this whole mentality of eat, drink and
be merry for tomorrow we die, and what happens is
like even during the pandemic, I think that people they shortsightedness,
they were just looking for immediate pleasure. They were looking

(55:32):
for quick satisfaction. And they're like, you know what, I'm
not gonna be help be held to a standard at
this particular point, because tomorrow is not guaranteed. I don't care.
I don't care about anything. I don't care about saving,
I don't care about putting anything away. There's no reason
for me to even consider doing what's necessary or what

(55:53):
it's prudent because tomorrow is not guaranteed. We take passages
like uh, matt was Matthew six thirty three, Seki versus
Kingdom and his righteousness and all those other things will
be added on to you that we we basically say, well,
I'm just going to focus on my holiness and I'm

(56:13):
not I'm too holy to do anything to prepare or
do anything that's required that I can be ready for
a coming cop apocalypse. As Christians, we've had sixty six books,
and the last Book of the Bible has told us
of severe tidings on the way in all honesty as

(56:38):
a Christian, as a follower, What steps have we taken?
All of us have must ask as this question myself
is myself included? What steps have we taken to prepare
for what seems horrible in revelation? See we they there

(56:59):
was a test run of the people who intend to
do wicked things in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, twenty
twenty two and beyond. My question is in light of
the fact that we have the rest of the story,
we know what's to come in the future, what are
we doing? Are we just oh, you know what, I'm
just gonna I'm gonna hit my bucket list. I'm gonna

(57:19):
enjoy my bucket list. I'm gonna do what's fun for
me and makes me happy. God knows my heart, and
God knows the things that I've gone through and that
I don't really want to invest into doing what's right
right now. I just I just want to have fun.

(57:40):
You know. I know, people probably shocked I would have one.
Michael Tait, a black guy from the Newsboys, there had
to be a point in his life where he finally
probably even justified his actions. Lord, look at all the
other different things I'm doing for you. Look at all

(58:01):
the things I'm doing. I've sung all these songs. I said,
God's not dead, He's truly alive. They're pulling the stations,
are pulling newsboys music, DC talk music. They're pulling the
music because they're offended by what he's done, by his actions,

(58:24):
the allegations. And I think that there was this, there
was this point where he looked at that eat, drink
and be merry passage and he took it to heart.
He took it to heart. And we're seeing the same patterns,
the same behaviors taking place even in the church today.

(58:48):
I remember one of the things that was key for
me is I changed my lifestyle and there were things
I know I couldn't eat anymore. Hey, Tricia, thank you
for joining being part of the program. You have a
you have an awesome weekend. I was often invited to
gatherings with Christian men, and I don't eat pork, not

(59:14):
a Muslim thing. I'm just trying to be healthy and
pork really messes me up. But I kept getting invited
to these events with Christian men eating pork, even though
I kept saying I don't eat pork. And I just

(59:35):
realized as I start seeing the gluttony the obesity and
which I was among in the church was because we
walked away from observing its principles because we were too
busy eating, drinking, and being married, or we don that's

(01:00:00):
a shame.
