[00:02:34] 21 no 20 through 25 21 through 25

[00:02:40] Okay, are you sure yes because okay?

[00:02:44] I was looking at a thing and

[00:02:46] That threw me off because it had different numbers than what my brain

[00:02:51] Okay, right my eyes and my brain were doing so Ezekiel chapters 21 through 25 that is correct

[00:02:57] And are you ready to go ahead and get into this or do you want to tell us a little bit about what we're doing or

[00:04:48] All right, we are doing our Q&A over Ezekiel chapters 21 through 25

[00:04:58] All right, and yes, we are going to discuss horse jizz or at least horse dick

[00:05:04] Okay, but before we do that before the horse dick and horse jizz. Yeah

[00:05:09] Yeah, let us let us step back a minute because that's not till chapter

[00:05:15] 24 I think okay, so we had a vague question in chapter 29

[00:05:21] Sorry one. Yep. Yeah, I'm so sorry my brain and my mouth are not connected today. Okay, so chapter 21

[00:05:30] Remember was called the sword song or the prophecy of the sword song of the sword. I thought yeah, okay

[00:05:37] Because it's the sword of the Lord right right, yeah, so

[00:05:42] There was a part I'm gonna read

[00:05:44] Versus 9 and 10. Okay kind of had a question about it. Sure

[00:05:48] Son of man you have me're human you fucking worm right prophecy and say this is what the Lord says a sword a sword

[00:05:56] Sharpened and polished sharpened for the slaughter polished to flash like lightning

[00:06:01] Shall we rejoice in the scepter of my royal son the sword despises every such stick?

[00:06:08] Okay, and we kind of had a question like what does he mean royal son and

[00:06:13] Like scepter and stick and we kind of figured I was probably talking about the puppet king or whatever

[00:06:19] Right, but we weren't for sure and we just kind of glossed over it. Yeah, right. We're like whatever sure

[00:06:25] So yeah, the son here probably does refer to the current ruler of Judah

[00:06:32] You know at that point is that a kaya? Okay, and it but it also might have referred to the nation itself

[00:06:39] God has

[00:06:40] His royal city or whatever is about to go down unless he doesn't like them then it's a whore. Yeah

[00:06:48] It's a royal whore

[00:06:50] Um God's sword of judgment had no regard for Zedekiah's right to reign which was Zedekiah's scepter

[00:06:59] Okay, sure

[00:07:01] I like how they say God but actually you know Ezekiel wrote this hypothetically and you know

[00:07:06] We have no corroboration as to whether God was actually involved or not other than you know Ezekiel's word

[00:07:12] You gotta take Ezekiel's word for it because yeah, I just want to make sure I said that because it's the one

[00:07:18] That got stapled into the book

[00:07:20] That's why yes, so I thought this was kind of interesting

[00:07:25] Somebody had written the spicing the king of Judah the sword of Babylon would turn Judah's scepter

[00:07:32] Into nothing but a stick

[00:07:34] Okay, so the sword of Babylon though, which I know is God using Babylon as his sword

[00:07:42] Babylon's sword is gonna turn Judah's scepter but that motherfucker back in Genesis

[00:07:48] He just conjured up some goddamn swords to swing back and forth in front of the Garden of Eden

[00:07:52] And now he has to use some other fucking people that aren't even his own

[00:07:56] Bring a sword against his people. I just feel like this is a weak-ass God, you know if he is a guy

[00:08:00] He's fucking piece of shit. Yeah, definitely awesome power over the right. Yeah

[00:08:05] Just magic doubt. I'm not impressed. You know me neither

[00:08:09] So then moving on in the same chapter to verse 26

[00:08:14] This is what the sovereign Lord says take off the turban remove the crown

[00:08:19] Okay, and we didn't really ask anything about that but we were just kind of like okay, whatever

[00:08:25] The turban or as it sometimes also called a mitre MIT er

[00:08:31] was the headdress of the high priest the crown of course belonged to the king and

[00:08:37] Priesthood and royalty were usually very closely related in Israel

[00:08:41] Yeah

[00:08:42] And so now they would both be set aside and all the emblems of royalty and leadership would be removed from Zedekiah

[00:08:49] Okay, which I mean yeah that makes yeah, I mean that tracks. Yeah, um

[00:08:54] I just like kind of clearing it up sure

[00:08:57] You know sure but I mean you know the point that I would make there is that that would track whether we were talking about a

[00:09:02] God or any invading force honestly

[00:09:05] Yeah, because the invading force is going to take out the leadership before it takes out the common people

[00:09:09] There is no use in taking out the common people unless you're using them for slaves or whatever

[00:09:13] Yeah, you know we're just getting them out of the way because you can't support them

[00:09:16] And you're doing you know what I mean like there's yeah the the king and the the priests and the higher-up leaders

[00:09:22] Those are the ones that you have to worry about

[00:09:24] Causing problems for you so to speak right so obviously anytime anybody is destroying another nation

[00:09:31] They're gonna be one of the first to go because that's just how it works

[00:09:35] Obviously, yeah

[00:09:36] Okay, so that finishes up chapter 21 sure

[00:09:41] We didn't have any questions or and I didn't have any notes for chapter 22

[00:09:46] Okay, and I was mistaken wasn't chapter 24 that had the horse jizz in it. It's chapter 23

[00:09:51] Yes, that's a bit of a longer one because I have two really good notes for that

[00:09:55] Then I'm just gonna put aside for a minute. So we're gonna skip chapter 23 and come back to it and come back to it

[00:10:01] Okay, okay

[00:10:02] Cuz cuz I don't want to do like awesome one and then be like, oh yeah leave the cliffhanger, right?

[00:10:07] Yeah, I'll leave the horse jizz for last obviously obviously

[00:10:09] Yeah, so let's put that let's put a pin in that and move on to chapter 24

[00:10:14] Or maybe a condom on it. Let's put a condom on that and move on to chapter 24

[00:10:19] Sure, okay, so I'm gonna read verses

[00:10:22] 26 and 27 okay on that day a fugitive will come to tell you the way wait wait wait

[00:10:27] 26 and 27 from what versus chapter 24. I literally said I'm sorry. I missed I apologize. I missed that

[00:10:35] Well, I was caught up in horse jizz, you know, I know you were

[00:10:40] Okay, so chapter 24 yes verses 26 and 27

[00:10:45] Okay, on that day a fugitive will come to tell you the news at that time your mouth will be open

[00:10:50] You will speak with him and will no longer be silent and we were like who the fuck

[00:10:55] What do you mean? Yeah, that was because I was right at the end of the chapter, right?

[00:10:58] And it ended off that way. We're like what is going on there today? Yeah

[00:11:01] Yeah, okay, so when someone escapes from Jerusalem and then arrives among the captives

[00:11:08] That person will inform them of the destruction of the city the temple the royal family and all the people at large

[00:11:13] Okay, okay, and that's when they will know for sure like oh fuck me

[00:11:19] Aziz he'll Aziz was telling us the truth

[00:11:23] Okay, okay, so until that moment. Yeah, is he kill must suppress his tears and lamentations for his wife having died

[00:11:31] Okay, then they're asking him what's up?

[00:11:34] And he's like because whereas I love and miss my wife

[00:11:37] Yeah, y'all are gonna be feeling it so much worse and y'all are gonna be feeling it so bad that

[00:11:43] In none of us gonna be crying

[00:11:45] Because we're all gonna be trying to figure out how the fuck we're gonna deal with this and they're like whatever dude

[00:11:51] And he's like no I'm telling you

[00:11:53] Jerusalem is going down and they're like it's not what I heard

[00:11:58] And again, I you know, I know we talked about this a lot during Jeremiah because we thought he was a double agent, right?

[00:12:03] Yeah, but even with Ezekiel right the priests of

[00:12:09] Israel or Judah

[00:12:11] Were higher up people and if if Babylon if Babylon was capturing them

[00:12:15] They might have had a higher place even amongst the captives right with regard to how they related to

[00:12:21] higher-up people clearly they did because Ezekiel had his own house and

[00:12:26] Right, the prisoner elders came to visit him

[00:12:29] So even if he wasn't collaborating with Babylon, he might have had insider information

[00:12:34] You know like you might have known they were going to go fuck up, you know

[00:12:37] That day or whatever exactly so I I don't I don't know that this is a big shock that he was aware that this was gonna happen

[00:12:45] You know, I it's always politics

[00:12:47] Again, there's no way that there's no way to know any of this and we just have to take them at these people who we know nothing about

[00:12:54] Thousands of years ago, right?

[00:12:55] We have to take their quote-unquote word and even if that that's been translated so many different times

[00:13:01] There's so many different languages that we can't possibly have any

[00:13:06] Inclinus to what they actually meant right we have to take that as fact if we want to believe in God

[00:13:12] Yeah, I that's crazy. It's crazy. That's silly. Yeah, it's foolish

[00:13:18] agreed

[00:13:20] He's saying

[00:13:21] That some somebody is gonna escape sure from Jerusalem and come up and tell them right and that until then he has to be quiet

[00:13:29] And he can't mourn his wife or nothing

[00:13:31] I guess that makes a little bit more sense sort of sort of well, there's a little bit more. I wasn't quite finished he murdered his wife

[00:13:38] That's my theory, but no, that's not what I was getting right right

[00:13:42] We're gonna learn in a future chapter. Yeah, probably not

[00:13:46] No, it won't be this coming week

[00:13:49] It might be the week after my math is really sure okay

[00:13:52] So in like a couple weeks

[00:13:54] We're gonna learn in one of those chapters that a person actually does escape from Jerusalem

[00:13:59] And then informs the prophet and his fellow captives that the city was smashed. Okay

[00:14:04] So that's a thing that will happen is he killed wrote about a prophet prophecy that was gonna happen

[00:14:09] And then the prophecy happened and so yay, he's right in his own book

[00:14:13] You know the Lord he wrote his own prophecy that he wrote it

[00:14:16] He wrote that his prophecy that he predicted was correct. Yeah Wow, right

[00:14:21] Yeah

[00:14:23] But I mean at least somebody addressed our question like what do you mean who the fuck?

[00:14:28] I don't understand somebody's gonna come what yeah, so now we know sure okay, so okay

[00:14:34] That's it for chapter 24 now. We're moving on to chapter 25

[00:14:38] Okay, and I'm gonna read verses eight and nine sure okay

[00:14:42] This is what the sovereign Lord says

[00:14:44] Because Moab and Seer said look Judah has become like all the other nations therefore I will explode

[00:14:52] expose

[00:14:54] The flank of Moab beginning at its frontier towns Beth just shemoth

[00:14:59] Baal meon and

[00:15:01] Kariah them the glory of that land. Okay, okay

[00:15:05] so I just like put together a little reminder of

[00:15:09] How the Moabites are kind of related as cousins, right?

[00:15:13] Okay, the ancestor of Moab came from the incestuous pairing of Lot and his daughter

[00:15:19] Okay, remember when she did a hop-on pop. Yep. Yeah, okay

[00:15:23] And then the Moabites feared Israel as they came from Egypt towards Canaan in the book of Numbers and

[00:15:30] Balak king of Moab hired Balaam to curse Israel. Yeah

[00:15:35] That was one of my favorite early on chapters

[00:15:39] That's another donkey right now and I want talk didn't come yeah

[00:15:44] We weren't talking about his dick and we were talking about his fucking mouth moving right right when Israel came into Canaan

[00:15:52] Sometimes Moab attacked and ruled over them even and that was in the book of judges. Okay. Yeah, and then later

[00:16:00] Ruth the Moabite was the great grandmother of King David

[00:16:04] Yeah, and David sent his parents to Moab for their own protection when Saul was hunting him in first Samuel

[00:16:10] I feel like one might even like in those days if you were Egypt or Babylon might even confuse them all as Israelites

[00:16:17] Yeah, you know what I mean? Like they seem very very closely related very

[00:16:22] Incessuously closely yeah. Yeah. I mean they're just like different states right like this one

[00:16:26] This one operates a little differently over here than that one does and obviously Israel was also worshiping idols

[00:16:32] So right and sacrificing children so there wasn't a lot of like there was a cultural differences between them

[00:16:38] They were like all frenemies right there. They like I hate you so much

[00:16:44] Stop touching me, but it's not breathing on me

[00:16:47] And then they're like oh fuck

[00:16:48] But we should really gang up together because Egypt is coming right

[00:16:51] But the only reason that was the case is because the Moabites probably had a different king than Judah did or Israel did or whatever

[00:16:58] Right, I mean it had to do again with politics not so much culture exactly

[00:17:03] Exactly so when he was king David fought against and defeated Moab in second Samuel

[00:17:10] And they became a vassal kingdom to Israel sometimes rebelling in second Kings. Yeah, I remember there was a lot of back

[00:17:16] Yeah, it was back and forth right yeah

[00:17:19] But I just I kind of needed that reminder of how they were related sure and then you know

[00:17:24] Like why is God going off on this group like I don't give a fuck about these people who are they again now?

[00:17:30] Yeah, I mean

[00:17:31] Does God really need a reason the God just goes off on people. He's you know there you go God go off, you know

[00:17:36] It's see that's his thing right it's true

[00:17:39] So on the other one that we mentioned

[00:17:42] Moab and Seir yeah

[00:17:44] Seir was a notable city of the Edomites who were also cousins to Israel being the descendants of

[00:17:52] Jacobs twin brother Esau right okay

[00:17:55] That's how they're really and Esau was the one that wrestled God in the desert I believe either

[00:18:01] God or the angel of the Lord right but wrestled something in the desert yeah that some people think is God yeah

[00:18:08] Which obviously isn't true, but in the Bible whatever you know and there are giants

[00:18:15] Sure. All right, so now we're gonna go back to chapter 23. All right. Okay. Yeah, I've got a few different things

[00:18:22] Okay, uh-huh

[00:18:23] So we're gonna start with verse 4 of chapter 23

[00:18:27] The older sister was named a hola and her sister was a holaba

[00:18:32] Okay, they were mine gods and gave birth to sons and daughters a hola is Samaria and a holaba is

[00:18:41] Jerusalem okay, so a whole lot okay now I'm done reading okay now. I'm in to my note. Yeah, okay a

[00:18:47] Whole law Samaria means her own tabernacle

[00:18:51] Meaning that she rejected that city that sister

[00:18:55] Rejected God's temple and the service that attended it okay that word literally transmits to her own tabernacle

[00:19:03] Got it, which that's what Samaria did they were like no

[00:19:07] Like God's tabernacle was not in Samaria right. I got it

[00:19:11] Okay, they're saying she had her own they decided they could do it without the tabernacle essentially

[00:19:16] Even though the tabernacle stopped being mentioned at some point right long ago exactly

[00:19:21] Um, I don't know if you were called to those in Samaria

[00:19:25] I forget which King it was that was like oh my god. I totally love that guys altar

[00:19:31] I'm totally gonna build one of my own at home. What was this? It was it was in one of the

[00:19:38] Kings or oh yeah

[00:19:41] Yeah, it was one of the kings decided that yeah

[00:19:44] It was like I thought it was Solomon actually maybe it wasn't Solomon. It wasn't Solomon it was like

[00:19:51] Hoas or I don't know who

[00:19:55] I have whatever who cares it doesn't really matter

[00:19:57] I know it wasn't Solomon and I know this because I almost put this in my notes and did it

[00:20:03] Is it Jehovah? Who knows is who knows yes, right okay, so that's Samaria

[00:20:09] Okay, yeah, hola means her own tabernacle got it. Okay a holaba

[00:20:14] Jerusalem means my tabernacle is in her okay

[00:20:19] And that's because she was home to God's temple and its service sure

[00:20:23] So that's why those sisters had those very straightforward names. Yeah, you know, yeah

[00:20:27] But again the tabernacle was not still there

[00:20:30] Like that I'm aware of like what happened was Samaria was called

[00:20:34] knows goes right and then

[00:20:37] Jerusalem was called choose somebody else, please

[00:20:42] All right, so now we're going to read verse 14 15 and 16

[00:20:47] Okay, which I said verse but I meant verse says yeah because plural right okay

[00:20:52] But she carried her prostitution still further. She saw men portrayed on a wall

[00:20:59] Figures and we had a question about that

[00:21:01] Figures of Chaldea and portrayed in red with belts around their waist and flowing turbans on their heads

[00:21:06] All of them look like Babylonian chariot officers

[00:21:10] Natives of Chaldea, okay as soon as she saw them she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea

[00:21:17] And we were like the fuck. Yeah, so that was basically like their town poster board

[00:21:23] Like facebook of the of the day

[00:21:25] Oh, okay. Yeah, so um base reliefs like statues and carvings and walls and stuff

[00:21:34] Yeah

[00:21:34] We're common decorations and Mesopotamian palaces and temples

[00:21:39] And so that's how they like told stories and passed legends on and so they saw these things and were like

[00:21:47] I want that city. I want those gods. That is what I want

[00:21:51] So like some traveler might have come through and like dropped this

[00:21:55] Whatever yeah travel

[00:21:58] pamphlet

[00:21:59] travel tablet

[00:22:02] It was a Jehovah's Witness come visit Chaldea. Yeah, it's great this time of year. Yeah, exactly

[00:22:08] You'll love the horses and the men on them. It's gonna be great

[00:22:13] It's gonna be great

[00:22:14] So um that took me to something else though

[00:22:18] There's this thing called the black obelisk of

[00:22:21] Chalmenazar the third. Wow. I like that. That's that's a fancy ass name for something. Yeah, that's great

[00:22:29] Yeah, I like it. Okay. It's a black limestone

[00:22:32] Neo Assyrian sculpture with many carved scenes and inscriptions in relief

[00:22:38] Have you ever been around a lot of sandstone?

[00:22:41] You're seeing sandstone like up close like when you're like out in the wild

[00:22:45] No, it's really cool rock. Okay. It's really I used to love rocks

[00:22:51] This isn't sandstone. This is limestone

[00:22:54] Yeah, it's similar similar similar ish

[00:22:57] So I think I could be wrong, but I think they're similar. I have no idea

[00:23:01] It's like sediment stone is what it boils down to so well

[00:23:05] This one is a giant like cylinder shaped thing and it's got carvings all around it. Okay. Okay. All right

[00:23:12] And his it's historically significant because it is thought to display

[00:23:18] The earliest ancient depiction of a biblical figure

[00:23:23] Jehu at the time the king of israel

[00:23:26] Prostrating himself before the Assyrian king and offering gifts

[00:23:31] Okay, the date picture would be about

[00:23:34] 840 bce

[00:23:36] At the beginning of j who's reign. So this is an actual historical

[00:23:40] Thing that exists. I did not get this off. Well, okay. Let me rephrase that

[00:23:45] I was doing my notes. You know how I examine many sources from many different perspectives

[00:23:49] I was on an apologist site and they mentioned this and I was like, hold up what right?

[00:23:54] And so then I was like, is this really a thing or is this them talking about right?

[00:23:58] So then that's how I rabbit hole, right? Is I verify things, right? Right? And no this I got this from an actual

[00:24:07] Source it is currently in a museum. Let me let me finish my notes. Sorry. Yeah, okay

[00:24:13] So, um, anyway the picture

[00:24:16] On the thing is from the beginning of j who's reign about 840 bce

[00:24:21] The object comes from nim rude

[00:24:23] Which is located in northerny rock. Okay and commemorates the deeds of king shall menazeer the third

[00:24:30] Which is why it's called that right who reigned about

[00:24:34] 858 to

[00:24:36] 824 bce

[00:24:38] And it is on display currently at the british museum in london

[00:24:43] And several other museums have cast replicas of it

[00:24:46] It really sounds like we're gonna have to make a trip over to europe at some point, right? Just to see some of this like the the biblical

[00:24:54] You know historical items that do exist, right? It would be really cool to like look

[00:25:00] I don't believe it. I don't believe in god, but I love history. Yeah, and like this aspect of it where you actually have

[00:25:08] Remnants of that time that are still in existence, right? It's really cool. Like you're talking about

[00:25:14] Thousands of years ago, right? That's why I had to include that. Yeah, that's pretty fucking amazing

[00:25:21] So we've got basically proof that a these two guys at least existed

[00:25:29] right and

[00:25:30] Be not only did they exist but this particular part of that story is correct that

[00:25:37] This guy did go over and prostrate himself to

[00:25:42] An assyrian king now

[00:25:43] I do want to say with regard to that

[00:25:46] And then we're us talking about the histop hysterasty of these items, right?

[00:25:51] And that's that a lot of um theists

[00:25:54] Christians that i've come across

[00:25:56] Will point to the fact that some of the things in the bible did actually happen historically and they have been proven to happen

[00:26:02] Historically so therefore

[00:26:04] Right

[00:26:05] The bible is true. Obviously obviously, right?

[00:26:08] That's so foolish because I could go on facebook or any number of websites and say

[00:26:15] Oh, well, I found something that said that the moon is made out of cheese

[00:26:19] Yeah, that doesn't mean that the moon is made out of cheese y'all

[00:26:23] No, you and I know that just the the mere fact of an artifact

[00:26:27] existing with regard to something that happened in the bible does not make the bible true

[00:26:31] Right

[00:26:31] It's merely an artifact that represents something from that time frame

[00:26:35] And lends to the fact that there are aspects of the bible that might yeah have some truth to them

[00:26:42] Right and legends do grow up around people. I mean think about like who is it?

[00:26:48] Washington and the the fucking apple tree or something cherry tree cherry tree

[00:26:52] That's what I said. Yeah, he's like I cannot tell a lie or whatever right and then there's like

[00:26:58] Um Lincoln and the wooden teeth

[00:27:01] Or something like that the wooden teeth was George Washington. Was it yeah, okay?

[00:27:05] I'm trying to remember which one is where I think

[00:27:08] Washington was the cherry tree, but there is there is something

[00:27:12] associated with Lincoln too and I can't remember

[00:27:14] I can't remember now what it is only thing I can think of as i'm sitting here is he's got a really tall fucking hat

[00:27:19] And you know supposedly for the times he was our civil war president and he got shot in a theater

[00:27:25] You know, he got the 14th amendment through and he got shot in a theater the guy that killed him was named ford

[00:27:30] But I can't think of what the the you know

[00:27:32] His party was called the republicans at the time. So now the republicans are like yeah, they claim we set the

[00:27:37] We set the slaves free and I'm like

[00:27:40] But you know what they try to claim martin luther king jr. Too. So I

[00:27:44] I see every time I'm like

[00:27:46] Get his name out your mouth

[00:27:49] What the fuck

[00:27:51] Fucking liars. Yeah. Yeah, okay. So now we're we're coming up on the horses. All right

[00:27:57] So let's hit verse 20. Okay

[00:28:00] There she lusted after her lovers whose genitals were like those of donkeys

[00:28:06] And whose emission was like that of horses. Wow

[00:28:10] Yeah, good stuff. Okay. So I was like the fuck is happening here. Right. Yeah. So first of all on the apologist

[00:28:19] I can't wait like like to can you imagine your job is being an apologist and then you're like, oh fuck

[00:28:26] Ezekiel chapter 23. What the okay? God damn it. I did not record any of it because it's whatever

[00:28:33] Yeah, nothing good to say except for

[00:28:35] Yes, this was very coarse language. It was meant to be shocking. Oh, of course. Yeah

[00:28:40] We're not supposed to use this type of language

[00:28:44] In our general discourse or even as a sermon it was meant to be shocking at the time and I'm like, right, right?

[00:28:51] Okay. Yeah, okay, and and also

[00:28:55] They were like

[00:28:56] I don't know whatever right. They were just like appalled and they were like you should never

[00:29:01] Yeah, yeah, and you know, we don't talk about that right stuff like that

[00:29:05] And I was like and that that's your fucking problem not that I want to talk about horses

[00:29:11] I don't but it's in your book. Yeah, and the biggest problem really is that most, you know

[00:29:17] Churches that you go to I shouldn't say most there are a lot of churches that people go to

[00:29:22] That if you start asking questions, they're gonna think less of you, right?

[00:29:27] You know, like it's not a good thing in in christianity in general

[00:29:32] To ask a lot of questions, right? Yeah, you get you get shunned you get looked down upon you

[00:29:36] You might even get cast out at some level even though like you could believe in all your heart and you're like

[00:29:43] But I want to understand right trying to get closer to god

[00:29:46] I want to you guys keep telling me this is his word and you could be like in all earnestness

[00:29:52] Yeah, and you could actually feel whatever it is that fucking believers feel. I don't know never felt it

[00:29:57] But people do I guess whatever well, I mean, I think and we've talked about that before too

[00:30:02] But in a group of people who are all very

[00:30:05] Fervorantly believing in

[00:30:07] Um, this one thing this god this uh this idea and they act as though it's real all together, right?

[00:30:14] It creates this like

[00:30:16] confirming circle of

[00:30:18] Uplifting, you know bullshit, right?

[00:30:21] And and they're all like yeah, it all exists and the reason that it all exists is because the next person next to them

[00:30:26] Says it all exists

[00:30:28] And that reason person's reason is because the person next to them says it all exists

[00:30:31] You know so on and so forth. Yeah, it's just a ever confirming circle of bs

[00:30:36] I call it a circle jerk of belief. Yeah, I like that. I sorry. I should have I should have stopped

[00:30:41] But I was in the middle of a rant. I couldn't stop. I was going forward with it

[00:30:45] So I was like, okay get the fuck out of here with all that

[00:30:48] And then they said something that like made me stop because they were like

[00:30:52] Blah blah blah symbolism and I was like, oh hang on. Okay. Okay. Hold on

[00:30:57] So the horse has been associated with numerous roles and magical gifts

[00:31:02] Throughout the ages and in all regions of the world

[00:31:06] Wherever horses have been sure making it the most symbolically charged animal along with the snake

[00:31:13] Okay horses and snakes. Sure. Okay. Yeah, and um, you know when you start talking about like what's so symbolic about horses

[00:31:21] Then you get into like mayors nightmares dreams. Yeah, um, you get into like

[00:31:26] The greek and roman stuff like fucking pegasus and unicorn and you know all that stuff

[00:31:32] I mean, how can you not?

[00:31:34] How could it not have been one of the biggest symbols in our in our history because it's a fucking giant beast with hair

[00:31:40] Yeah, that's gorgeous like by all rights. They're a beautiful animal, you know

[00:31:44] Some people don't I think you think they look like a fucking alien

[00:31:47] They do because they have triangle shaped heads

[00:31:50] Just like praying mantises, but but I recognize that they are majestic and do have a certain beauty to them

[00:31:56] And overall most people I would say on on average

[00:32:00] Would tend to say they're a beautiful majestic creature as opposed to an alien. So yes, I agree. I agree

[00:32:05] I just think um because they give you side-eye. They're a little too smart for

[00:32:10] Like I don't trust them. That's all and and also I've known two separate people

[00:32:15] Who were missing part of a finger? Yeah, because they got their hand close the wrong way and it accidentally chopped

[00:32:22] They can't help with that. Their fucking mouth is like a bear trap. No, I know but I can't help that two different people in my life

[00:32:29] Had their fucking finger munched off. Yeah, okay

[00:32:33] So anyway, yeah, the horse serves as a loyal ally to the hero and effort in epic tales

[00:32:40] Or as a tireless companion and cowboy adventures

[00:32:44] Sure and has become a symbol of war and political domination throughout history

[00:32:50] Like think of a lot of our statues have the guy on the horse. Yeah, you know

[00:32:55] Like I think if they died in battle like the horse is rearing and if they didn't die in battle

[00:33:00] They just are heroes. I actually didn't know that

[00:33:03] Is that is that actually a thing? I believe it is a thing. Don't quote me on it. I wasn't prepared to talk about that

[00:33:09] But I something you had heard before it. Yeah

[00:33:12] It's something I had heard before and and I can't remember which way it goes

[00:33:15] But I think if the horse if the statue

[00:33:19] Has the horse rearing up on his back legs that

[00:33:22] Um, the person being depicted died in battle. Okay, otherwise. It's just a hero

[00:33:28] And obviously, you know of time past they died, but it wasn't because of the battle right right

[00:33:32] So they're they're just a hero. Got it. So

[00:33:36] um

[00:33:37] anyway

[00:33:38] Political domination throughout history blah blah blah and they are a symbol of evil through its association with nightmares and demons

[00:33:46] And think of like satyrs. Um, yeah, like now we talk about satyrs being half goat, but at one time

[00:33:52] It was half horse and that gets into centaurs. Yep blah blah blah

[00:33:57] Um, there are a symbol of eroticism through the ambiguity of writing

[00:34:03] Okay, all right now the horse is a phallic animal

[00:34:08] The image of which stems from the proximity between the rider

[00:34:13] Who sits with the animal between his or her legs and moves with cadence movements

[00:34:20] so it's um the proximate proximity between the rider and the act of sex

[00:34:27] During which we experience all the exhilarations wet and sensations of a horse ride, right? And there are some girls who

[00:34:34] claim that um, they

[00:34:36] have

[00:34:37] Reached orgasm merely by riding a horse because it hit the right spot

[00:34:41] Got it. Um, there are others who claim they lost their cherry because they bounce too much and i'm like that's not how that works

[00:34:46] Bro, but whatever sure there is the popular

[00:34:49] um saying you know it's hung like a horse so and because they they have big dicks, right? Yeah, I mean not big

[00:34:57] Compared to horses like their horses their their dicks are exactly the size they should be

[00:35:02] For an animal right to have that is that size. Yeah. Yeah, but

[00:35:07] You know comparatively speaking. Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah huge

[00:35:11] So in egyptian hieroglyphics the horse represents a lustful person

[00:35:17] Asses and horses are proverbially

[00:35:20] Lustful okay, and it should be noted that as course as these verses read

[00:35:25] The original is even more rough than the translation

[00:35:30] Wow, so it's like you thought that was bad

[00:35:35] Just wait till you learn the other languages and read it and the

[00:35:39] You know whatever native tongue exactly some fucking herew or whatever

[00:35:46] That's almost makes me want to learn the

[00:35:48] You know, you know, whatever like I gotta know like what do you mean?

[00:35:52] Let me just learn the words in this specific not even chapter just this verse

[00:35:58] Yeah, and then and then I got to see what this is all about exactly. Yeah, so

[00:36:03] That's my that's my take on the horse and donkeys and jizz and dicks. Yeah

[00:36:11] Um, the girls were kind of an exciting week of uh,

[00:36:14] Ezekiel it really was because we had we had pulp fiction. We had horse jizz

[00:36:19] We had um, I mean there was a lot of things that had that wasn't it

[00:36:23] But I mean like there was a lot of things that it felt it felt

[00:36:26] Prostitutes. Yeah. Yeah, it just felt like we we did something this week, you know

[00:36:31] I

[00:36:32] Yeah, we were reiterated a lot of the same shit over and over and over again

[00:36:35] But we did get to be a little bit different. We got to mix up a little this week

[00:36:38] We talked a lot of sex this week. We did we did you think that we were gross but guys guys

[00:36:44] I mean, we're just reading the fucking Bible in our fault. I'm just telling you what's in the bible

[00:36:51] And what it means. I can't the best of my abilities. I can't help with the gods of pervert, you know

[00:36:56] I mean he's a murdery perv

[00:36:59] He is gross he really is he really is

[00:37:02] Donkey dicks in the fucking bible get the fuck out of here. Yeah, the holy book the good word

[00:37:09] Emissions semen come jizz the glory holy book. Oh my gosh
