Join us for a rollicking ride through the biblical doom-fest that is Ezekiel Chapter 7, where the good book decides that subtlety is for the weak and goes all in with its favorite pastime: smiting with extreme prejudice. If you thought the Old Testament had run out of ways to express its divine rage, think again! This episode of our snark-filled podcast is a deep dive into the repetitious realm of holy fury and mortal screw-ups that would make even a Quentin Tarantino flick look like child's play.
Our hosts, the ever-skeptical duo armed with irreverence and a hefty dose of critical thinking, tackle the latest chapter of Ezekiel with the same enthusiasm one might reserve for a dental appointment without anesthesia. They wax eloquent on the ever-popular themes of God's anger management issues, the art of divine overkill, and the ancient Israelites' apparent hobby of collecting detestable practices like they're going out of style.
In this episode, we dissect the ancient prophet's colorful yet monotonous warnings that could give Groundhog Day a run for its money. The biblical writers hit us over the head with a 'the end is nigh' placard so many times, it's a wonder there's any head left to hit. We question the over-the-top depictions of a God who seems to have missed the memo on proportional response, as He dials the destruction up to eleven for offenses that, let's be honest, wouldn't even warrant a misdemeanor in today's courts.
We don't shy away from controversy either. Just when you thought mixing religion and politics was last season's faux pas, we take a stab at the current affairs like the proposed Billy Graham statue in the Capitol, proving that idolatry is alive and well, and living in Washington D.C. It's a conversation that promises to walk the line between the separation of church and state with the grace of a drunk tightrope walker.
For those of you who've grown numb to the biblical narrative's penchant for violence and retribution, you're in good company. Our hosts' commentary provides a refreshing alternative to the scripture's somber tone, turning what could be a snooze-fest into a laugh-out-loud critique of the text's more, shall we say, 'creative' moments.
But wait, there's more! If you enjoy the juxtaposition of ancient prophecies and modern-day musings, then you're in for a treat. We connect the dots between Ezekiel's end-of-days shenanigans and our own contemporary experiences, proving that some things, like bad decision-making and the consequences thereof, are timeless.

[00:01:59] Zekeal chapter 6 sure as fuck dead and in that episode
[00:02:04] God kind of was like I'm gonna kill y'all
[00:02:08] Basically, like you know those idols things that you got in the high places and the ravines and all the places
[00:02:14] Those are those are shitty places. They are shitty place. I'm gonna kill a lot of you
[00:02:19] Most of them like
[00:02:21] true
[00:02:21] I'm gonna lay you out in front of your idols and I'm gonna
[00:02:24] I'm gonna scatter your bones all over the fucking place right and that's and that's gross and cool
[00:02:30] It's cool. No, I'm being God. I'm oh, yeah to God. Yeah, God seems to think that's cool
[00:02:35] Yeah, right. I so we were a little I mean I
[00:02:40] Want to say we were a little disturbed by the imagery but at this point it's almost commonplace
[00:02:46] Yeah, and it's just like the regular. It's hard matter of fact. Yep. There goes God being God again
[00:02:51] So hard to pull up the like oh my goodness. I can't believe he's doing that. Yeah, how all the murder
[00:02:57] The shock is gone. Yeah, we've become in your do it

[00:05:52] All right the word of the Lord came to me did it again still yeah, I mean
[00:05:57] I mean that's what has been happening this whole time
[00:05:59] I suppose I wouldn't let I wouldn't keep lying on the floor for a year and a half if the word of God didn't keep coming to me
[00:06:06] Right, you know, I'd be like, you know, I feel like he's ignoring me at this point. I'm just gonna get up
[00:06:11] You're talking about how I'm in one of the previous chapters how he had to lay down on one of his sides
[00:06:17] Yeah, like several hundred days or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, it was like 400 some days. Yeah, that's crazy
[00:06:23] Yeah, okay, so this is what God saying okay ready? All right. I'm ready
[00:06:27] Son of man
[00:06:29] Mere human right yeah, yeah
[00:06:31] This is what the sovereign Lord says to the land of Israel and of course by Israel
[00:06:36] He actually means Judah cuz right right. I mean he's using the terms interchangeably
[00:06:42] But the tribes of Israel have all but been swallowed up. Yeah
[00:06:49] Right, yeah, but I mean it's still a generalization for that that area the people
[00:06:55] But I've always found it confusing like as we've been reading through it took me a really long time before I understood
[00:07:04] That Judah is actually the main character, right?
[00:07:08] Like, you know before we started reading the Bible. I always just thought Israel. It's Israel
[00:07:15] everything's about Israel and I didn't know that like only Judah actually kind of remained
[00:07:21] Yeah, but I think that ultimately the
[00:07:24] The end game is that Israel as a whole right is going to come back remember we talked about like the lost tribes
[00:07:31] Previously and things like that so I mean like there's always this thought that all 12 tribes are gonna come running back to
[00:07:37] Israel at some point it's gonna be the Israelites instead of just Judah, right?
[00:07:41] So like yes, Judah is all that remains currently, but that doesn't mean that that's what they're hoping
[00:07:47] They're hoping to regain all of their tribes I totally get that it's just as a person in
[00:07:53] 2024 or you know, we started this podcast in what 2022 2020
[00:07:59] Don't short us two years. No, sorry
[00:08:02] At any rate when we first started this podcast in 2020. Yeah, I had no idea
[00:08:08] Right. Well, I mean this is our first time reading that right, but that's that's my point though, right?
[00:08:13] Every time I see Israel. I'm like no, it's not right, right?
[00:08:17] But anyway that he means Judah sure he's saying
[00:08:20] To the land of Israel aka Judah the end the end is come upon the four corners of the land cuz you know flat earth
[00:08:31] The end is now upon you and I will unleash my anger against you as I do being he does
[00:08:38] Capricious mercurial gun and call me shocked here
[00:08:41] Mm-hmm. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices
[00:08:49] Right, okay
[00:08:52] This all the fucking time
[00:08:54] But here we go detestable practices do not
[00:08:58] Do not
[00:09:01] Equal murder yeah, like yeah, you know
[00:09:04] Don't get to because somebody has a goddamn statue doesn't mean you get to murder them now
[00:09:08] Did you hear about the statue that's going up in the the the national cap of the capital, you know the United States
[00:09:17] They're putting up as apparently this is not a breach of
[00:09:21] Church and state separation
[00:09:23] But there is something that is allowing some group to put up a
[00:09:28] Statue that cost $650,000 apparently I learned this from Heyman meta meta
[00:09:34] I can't remember how to pronounce the name exactly okay, but it's of Billy Graham
[00:09:39] Shut the fuck are you familiar with Billy Graham? Yeah, shut the fuck up
[00:09:43] Yeah, it's gonna be on our in our state capital apparently no and he's gonna be holding the Bible and pointing at some bullshit
[00:09:49] Oh my god
[00:09:49] I'm like really we have to suffer through Billy Graham at our fucking not our state capital at our national capital
[00:09:55] Sorry, that's I think I said worse. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's terrible. I I hate I hate
[00:10:02] Yeah, I mean you just stop right there. Yeah, okay, okay?
[00:10:06] Sorry, I got off again speaking of detestable practices
[00:10:09] Right. Yes, then you will know that I am the Lord. Oh, will we did you know?
[00:10:15] I'm the Lord. I actually don't know that he I have many questions about that if way I fair
[00:10:22] This is what the sovereign Lord says okay, I'm ready disaster
[00:10:28] Unheard of disaster
[00:10:30] See it comes does it it does it come okay? Yeah
[00:10:35] Gushes the end
[00:10:38] Has come the end has come this guy's falling this guy is falling
[00:10:44] Like okay, we have all the end is nigh people right yeah, and he's like the end is come right
[00:10:49] But we all know we all know that there's gonna be a remnant left, right?
[00:10:55] Like even according to the Bible right yeah, there's gonna be a remnant left and some of them will survive so it's not exactly the end
[00:11:01] He's just killing a lot of fucking people and then sending them back later, right?
[00:11:04] Like that's not the end. So is it like the end or is it like?
[00:11:09] Just the first book in the chapter of like 20 book series right? Yeah, that's not the end, bro
[00:11:16] If that's the if that's the case then we've hit many ends already
[00:11:20] So it has roused itself against you. Yeah, it did roused. I love it when a country arouses itself
[00:11:30] See it comes
[00:11:33] Doom has come upon you upon you who dwell in the land. Yeah, the time has come
[00:11:40] The day is near
[00:11:42] This is like he's saying the same thing just over and over again. Yeah, it's the end okay
[00:11:47] We get it. Yep, there is panic not joy on the mountains
[00:11:51] I mean if I'm being killed by a God, I suppose I'd be panicking and or people if I'm being killed period
[00:11:56] Yeah, I'm probably panicking and not joyful not joyful, right?
[00:12:01] I'm about to pour out my wrath on you and spend my anger against you
[00:12:06] Now I know we've heard that before because it's my favorite thing to say I'm about to
[00:12:12] So I know I said that yesterday. Yeah, I'm about to get you we're getting into some repetitive like
[00:12:19] Crazy every book just like we do in yeah every book every book
[00:12:22] It's like they they shoot their shot in the first three chapters
[00:12:26] You know what? I got by the time we get to like chapter four and five. They're like, oh, we're out of material
[00:12:30] But I gotta say Ezekiel did shoot a good shot
[00:12:33] He didn't that fucking that never dream of a fucking drug trip at the beginning of this book was crazy
[00:12:40] Yeah, actually just in case y'all missed it
[00:12:44] Over the weekend. We did a patreon episode about angels, but also fuck angels, right?
[00:12:49] And it was it was a good end. I think yeah, so y'all probably want to get up
[00:12:54] I'm inspired from Ezekiel chapter one. Yeah somewhat. Yeah, because supposedly he saw them things, you know, right?
[00:13:00] So just putting that out there. Yeah plug in plug in my good work. Yeah. No plug in my work
[00:13:06] Oh, well, yeah, you do put a lot of research into those. It's a good in. Yeah
[00:13:09] Okay, I will judge you according to your conduct says God and repay you for all your detestable practices
[00:13:17] I all that sex you be having up in those trees. I don't know if I want you to repay me man
[00:13:22] No, you know whatever we're good
[00:13:25] Keep the change bitch. I will not look on you with pity. Have you ever nobody thought you might right?
[00:13:32] I will not spare you. I mean, but you will though some you will spare some
[00:13:38] But that's what it means you're gonna spare some
[00:13:41] So you can't say I'm not gonna spare you as a nation and then do it and then say that the nation is gonna
[00:13:47] You know kind of survive a little right and there's not really a reason for because he still calls those people
[00:13:52] shitty too because he's gonna you're all bad
[00:13:55] But I'm gonna let some of you live so that later on 10 generations from now or whatever the fuck the time frame is
[00:14:00] I can get you guys can come back, you know
[00:14:03] And then at that point you'll be good for some reason because probably maybe
[00:14:07] Reasons I don't know well it's supposed to be that they learn their lesson and then they never do
[00:14:12] We still don't get down hardcore on the
[00:14:15] Practices. Yeah, but like we still there's not been a time in human history
[00:14:20] Where we followed God's law to the nth degree in any society because it's just dumb right
[00:14:27] Okay, so God keeps talking and he says I will repay you for your conduct and for the detestable
[00:14:34] Practices among you I'm about sick of the word detestable. I mean right, then
[00:14:40] You'll know that it is I the Lord who strikes you
[00:14:45] How are we gonna know that though? You're gonna tell us you're gonna show up you gonna let us you how we're gonna know
[00:14:50] I mean
[00:14:52] Got to see your dick what you're gonna show the rest of us, you know
[00:14:55] Yeah, they don't want us to talk about that so
[00:14:58] That's crazy don't tell anybody don't tell anybody but there's a God's dick in the Bible
[00:15:03] Yeah, that's loin and and that's really why is he geofill on his face
[00:15:08] See the day see it comes
[00:15:11] Do Ms. Burst forth the rod has been butted
[00:15:15] Irrigates his blossom
[00:15:16] See okay, you see it sure did you see I guess it's there right
[00:15:21] Violence has arisen a rod to punish the wicked
[00:15:26] Wait, is he talking about violence has arisen from God like him mm-hmm like that's the violence a rod to punish
[00:15:33] I got him arising the violence. Um, yeah, he's talking about
[00:15:37] The people from the north whoever they may be at his tool. Yeah, though. That's the rod
[00:15:42] He's using to punish the wicked. Okay. That's his rod. All right, whatever
[00:15:48] None of the people will be left none of that crowd none of their wealth nothing of value
[00:15:53] No, no, okay cuz he's gonna you know Babylon's gonna get over
[00:15:58] Yeah, right sure. That's what he's saying. Okay the time has come the day has arrived
[00:16:04] Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller grieve for my wrath is on the whole clock cloud crowd
[00:16:11] It's on the crowd. I'm in the cloud
[00:16:14] But my eyes on the buyers and sellers alike. They're all they're all screwed no buyers remorse and seller
[00:16:20] Where I don't know. No, ever that goes sure the seller will not recover the property that was sold as long as both buyer and seller live
[00:16:29] Okay for the vision concerning the whole crowd will not be reversed
[00:16:35] Because of their sins not one of them will preserve their life
[00:16:40] Okay, well, but some of them do so okay, that's kind of false
[00:16:45] Right, I'm like are you it's you're being very hyperbolic here? Are you like talking about?
[00:16:51] the Israelites cuz right you literally just got saying that you made a ziki
[00:16:58] You'll do a little show a little puppet show right talking about how some of them will live. Yeah. Yeah
[00:17:04] Are you talking about Babylon like what are you talking about?
[00:17:08] He's just being sometimes we like it to be everybody sometimes we're like no
[00:17:12] But some of you will make it so okay sometimes we like to redeem sometimes we like to kill everybody
[00:17:16] That's how it goes. That's how it's gone the whole way. All right, so they have blown the trumpet
[00:17:23] They have made all things ready, but no one will go into battle for my wrath is on the whole crowd
[00:17:34] Like my evil laughter. Yeah, it's pretty good pretty good outside as the sword inside our plague and famine
[00:17:42] Behind door three
[00:17:44] Those in the country will die by the sword those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague. Yeah, okay sounds about right
[00:17:51] Sure, okay, I mean that thing is gonna awful. I mean well, that's what happens in yeah
[00:17:57] That's the way they wore they close the city down right there's no surprises here
[00:18:02] This is how things go regardless of whether Yahweh is involved or not it doesn't really fucking matter
[00:18:08] This is how war went. Yeah, so I mean we already read in previous chapters in our research there that that was a
[00:18:16] Standard for how they got their enemies to capitulate. Yeah, they surrounded a city and
[00:18:23] Rather than just attacking the city outright and losing men of their own
[00:18:27] They would just starve them out. Yeah, I bet the Babylonians would have attacked another culture the exact same way
[00:18:33] They don't think they did I know
[00:18:36] The fugitives who escape will flee to the mountains like doves of the valleys they will all moan
[00:18:46] Each for their own sins
[00:18:48] Every hand will go limp. Hmm every leg will be wet with urine
[00:18:53] Oh, so you're gonna piss yourself before you die apparently don't be on my leg and tell me it's raining
[00:18:59] Don't piss up a wet rope right right they will put on sackcloth and be clothed with terror
[00:19:07] I mean that sounds like me every day that I have to get up and go out into the world
[00:19:13] Clothed in terror
[00:19:15] Like the best thing that ever happened to me was when grocery stores started doing their
[00:19:20] Click list or their like delivery. Yeah, like their curbside pickup or you know the delivery services
[00:19:27] Like it because it saves time, you know like the click list especially like you can still go there
[00:19:31] Not have to pay a delivery fee and like they just bring it out to you
[00:19:34] You just your car. Yeah, you don't have to do any frivolous shopping while you're doing it
[00:19:38] Yeah, just buy your shit sit in your car right. Yeah, I love curbside. It's great the best
[00:19:43] Yeah, I mean it does save time
[00:19:45] But for me it also allows me to not have to interact with other humans also very rarely when I'm sitting there in the
[00:19:51] Parking lot does God enact wrath on me. So it's great
[00:19:54] Yeah, all the things are just wonderful about it. I mean I love a day when God is not wrathing on me
[00:20:01] Yeah, no, it's it's a those are good days. Yeah
[00:20:03] Every face will be covered with shame and every head will be shaved, but will it be shaved with a sword?
[00:20:11] That's not doing it right unless you do it with a sword
[00:20:14] They will throw their silver into their streets and their gold will be treated as a thing unclean
[00:20:20] This is talking about the sacking of the city and the riches
[00:20:24] Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's wrath
[00:20:30] It will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs for it has caused them to stumble into sin
[00:20:37] So, you know, they're talking about they build idols. They're rich
[00:20:40] Yeah, blah blah blah and they lost their way because of it. Yeah, whatever
[00:20:43] Okay, then you'll have all the money in the world, but you still won't be able to eat
[00:20:47] And you'll be boiling your child or whatever
[00:20:49] I mean, let's let's just be honest here the thing that is stopping them from enjoying their lives is
[00:20:56] One of two things if we're in biblical canon, it's God, right? Yeah, or if we just go with
[00:21:03] Historical accounts. It's Babylon. Yeah, it's war. It's fucking the shit that happened to people in those days
[00:21:11] That there's just nothing real surprising about any of this nothing new as far as how
[00:21:17] People treated each other in ancient times. This is all I was gonna say speaking of that
[00:21:22] It would have been Babylon or whatever large culture at the time
[00:21:27] Whatever Empire was trying to spread out and take over the little guys. Yeah, I mean if it wasn't Babylon
[00:21:34] It was a Syria if it wasn't a Syria
[00:21:36] It would have been Egypt if it wasn't Egypt
[00:21:38] It was whoever else was big times back there the Canaanites or whatever, right? You know, yeah
[00:21:44] They took pride in their beautiful jewelry and used it to make their detestable idols
[00:21:51] They you know what we still do that today like sure
[00:21:54] I mean have you seen all those little pop-up stores on Facebook where women be selling their jewelry to each other and
[00:22:02] Like their leggings and stuff all those MLM. Yeah, the pop-up things like oh my god
[00:22:08] I mean, I'm not saying that is bad to like buy jewelry and buy leggings and buy candles and buy whatever but
[00:22:17] They're everywhere. It's very it makes me feel like this. You know what I mean?
[00:22:23] It makes me just go on a little chat words. This is detestable. This is
[00:22:28] Right. It just I don't know there's something about an MLM
[00:22:33] pop-up
[00:22:34] Selling jewelry. Yeah on Facebook live that just makes me feel like
[00:22:40] Y'all are like
[00:22:43] Judah, you know y'all are like that town like you're just asking for Babylon to come get you
[00:22:49] Hmm. I don't know about all that but okay. I understand like that that is a leap. I get it
[00:22:56] Yeah, I can't understand why my brain is making that connection
[00:23:01] I'm just telling you that my brain did make that connection. Okay, okay?
[00:23:06] Sometimes I see patterns with or aren't
[00:23:08] Just letting you know I cannot stand an MLM. Yeah
[00:23:13] Not just an MLM. Okay, I know I'm off-topic here. Okay, but it's not just an MLM
[00:23:17] It's an MLM that is like all in and everybody's for it
[00:23:21] And it's like really popular and like we're all just supposed to be like yeah, that's cool
[00:23:26] And I'm like looking at everybody around me buying makeup or buying candles and I'm like what the fuck is wrong with all of you
[00:23:34] Why are you guys all like?
[00:23:36] Yep, this is the one we're buying from this month. Like what's the what's the popular one this month? You know
[00:23:43] Like now that Tupperware has gone away, you know, there's just always a new one and it's just so weird to me
[00:23:50] People are weird. That's all I'm trying to say right right. All right
[00:23:53] They made it into vile images therefore I will make it a thing unclean for them
[00:23:59] I will give their wealth as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked of the earth who will defile it
[00:24:07] They're gonna defile that earth. Okay. Yep, I will turn my face away from the people, huh?
[00:24:14] And robbers will desecrate the place I treasure
[00:24:17] Okay, yeah, they will enter it and we'll defile it sounds great some more
[00:24:22] I guess I don't whatever. Oh good job. God always be defiling right never not be defiling
[00:24:29] Prepare chains for the land is full of bloodshed and the city is full of violence. Yeah, this is negative
[00:24:36] It I mean it's been negative for a few chapters. This is like really chilling my vibe
[00:24:41] Yeah, right. I will bring the most wicked of nations to take possession of their houses
[00:24:48] Yeah, we know right you will and they did yeah
[00:24:51] I will put it into the pride of the mighty and their sanctuaries will be
[00:24:56] Desecrated I mean there's just mean this leak actually is his sanctuary. It's the fucking temple, right?
[00:25:01] I'm like you're on purpose knocking down your own temple, right?
[00:25:06] That's like if like a Christian went and pooped on the stairs of their own church sure like why
[00:25:14] It makes no goddamn sense. Yeah, like I don't get it
[00:25:18] It's it's you know cutting off your nose despite your face, right?
[00:25:22] It's throwing out the baby with the bathwater right why you're doing it right right when terror comes
[00:25:28] They will seek peace in vain
[00:25:31] Calamity upon calamity will come and rumor upon rumor. I like calamity calamity
[00:25:38] And also oh
[00:25:41] They will go searching for a vision from the prophet the prophet is that like
[00:25:48] Maybe or the prophet of the time maybe I don't know
[00:25:51] I'm just curious because normally it says it would say all prophet
[00:25:55] But here's this the right but like this could be a generic insertion like this feels like a generic insertion into
[00:26:01] Ezekiel a little bit this whole this whole fire and brimstone. It doesn't really
[00:26:06] Follow up on anything. It's just adding it's the same message. We've been getting since Isaiah. I'm a getcha
[00:26:12] I'm a getcha. Yeah, so it could be insert in generic profit here, right?
[00:26:17] And you have you have you can put that in any of the fucking prophets that is true
[00:26:22] You know, it doesn't really matter
[00:26:24] They will go searching for a vision from the prophet
[00:26:27] Priestly instruction and the law will cease the council of the elders will come to an end
[00:26:34] So all the smarties will not be available. I mean again that happens when you get killed by an invading force
[00:26:41] I guess so yeah, the king will mourn
[00:26:45] And the prince will be clothed with despair and the hands of the people of the land will tremble
[00:26:52] Didn't the princes die? Yeah, actually I have a note about King and Prince. Yeah
[00:26:57] I'm not even gonna try to
[00:26:59] like
[00:27:01] Recite this from memory. So I'm just gonna tell you what this is. Okay, the king and the prince are both referring to Zedekhaya
[00:27:08] Okay, the reference to the king is missing in the Septuagint. That's the Greek
[00:27:14] Translation. Yeah, so it just says Prince
[00:27:18] According to the Jerusalem Bible
[00:27:20] This may be a later edition as reference to the king is exceptional in Ezekiel
[00:27:26] Okay, so it was basically just like some translator editor person added a word that they weren't supposed to and forgot to
[00:27:34] Remove the other one or something to that again this whole chapter felt very generic
[00:27:38] And like God's wrath God's wrath blah blah blah right well and again like
[00:27:44] Back in verse 25 when it said when terror comes they will seek peace in vain. Yeah
[00:27:50] The word terror is
[00:27:53] Destruction in other translations which we've heard both but also it could mean
[00:27:58] Shuddering or anguish which I'm like I really wish y'all would have changed this up and used one of those other words sure because
[00:28:05] Terror destruction destruction destruction terror. I'm like
[00:28:09] Can we get a thesaurus up in here? Yeah, okay? Anyway, so I'm about to finish
[00:28:14] I will deal with them according to their conduct and by their standards
[00:28:19] I will judge them then they will know that I am the Lord and the Lord
[00:28:25] knew that one I didn't even have to read the Bible
[00:28:29] Yeah, I got there before you got there. Oh, I paused I know
[00:28:35] The end got it. Yeah, so I
[00:28:39] Don't I don't think I have a lot to add just that this is a regurgitation of the same
[00:28:44] fire and brimstone God that we've seen throughout all the prophets that we've read so far and
[00:28:50] I'm a little like
[00:28:52] Board of it already. Yeah, well, I mean like I said as he killed started off really strong with the whole
[00:28:59] You know fever dream thing that happened with the angels and like that was that was some really
[00:29:04] Crazy imagery it was different too. It was very different. Yeah, that made it interesting
[00:29:09] No, I actually really liked those chapters because it was like what is going on here?
[00:29:14] This is really cool. Yeah. Yeah, so I was kind of excited for Ezekiel and maybe you know
[00:29:21] We still got some time to go sure but I don't know
[00:29:25] I don't know I'm kind of feeling very repetitive like okay Bible and I
[00:29:31] You got me again Bible. I just don't know. Well, we'll see
[00:29:34] Well, um, you could tell how boring this chapter was in that that's all the notes I had sure yeah
[00:29:41] Like that's it. We've covered all this kind of stuff before everything else is very straightforward
[00:29:45] God's gonna get you the yet nothing new to see here. No. Yeah, we could have skipped this chapter
[00:29:50] It's like a soap opera. We could have skipped this chapter and not missed a thing right? Yeah, and that to me is a bad story
[00:29:58] Yeah, it's true. I agree
[00:30:01] All right. Well, that was Ezekiel chapter 7 sure fuck was which means that we will be back tomorrow
