Get ready to suspend your disbelief and embrace the absurdity of the divine in this snarky take on Jeremiah Chapter 33. Husband and Wife, the dynamic duo of skepticism, dissect the latest in prophet property dealings and the Almighty's apparent mood swings.
Starting off with a holy real estate transaction that would make even the Monopoly Man blush, Jeremiah's land grab is supposedly a sign of prophetic prowess. Our hosts unpack this bizarre biblical bargaining and its implications on divine foreclosures. Spoiler alert: buying land in the midst of impending doom is as logical as eating soup with a fork.
Next up, we grapple with the Almighty's temper tantrums and tender mercies. The episode slices through the heavenly haze, serving up a fresh plate of "God giveth, and God taketh away" with a side of human confusion. The hosts muse over the Lord's penchant for destruction and subsequent rebuilding plans, suggesting a possible side gig in demolition and construction.
The highlight reel continues with a deep dive into the murky waters of Judah, Israel, and their mysterious disappearing act. Are we talking about two tribes or a divine magic trick? The hosts take you on a historical detour, sprinkling in a dash of cultural confusion and a pinch of theological head-scratching.
Not content with past perplexities, the episode also tackles the hot potato of modern relevance. From biblical prophecies to internet conspiracy theories, our hosts expose the sensationalist salad tossed up by prophets and clickbait connoisseurs alike. They even offer a pro tip: start your fact-checking with the smart comments—because let's face it, sometimes the peanut gallery is full of PhDs.
Wrapping up with a flourish, the podcast zooms out to a celestial scale, pondering the divine's strange obsession with bloodline branding and sacrificial shindigs. As the hosts peel back the layers of divine dynasty drama, they ponder whether we're dealing with the ultimate case of nepotism or just an ancient episode of "Keeping Up with the Cosmos."
Join us for a rollicking ride through the rollercoaster of biblical bafflement, where sacred texts meet secular snark, and no holy cow is too sacred to tip. It's Jeremiah Chapter 33 like you've never heard it before—unless, of course, you've been eavesdropping on the man upstairs.
Don't forget to hit subscribe, leave a blasphemous like, and share with your fellow heathens. After all, it's not every day you get to hear prophets talk shop and deities deal in real estate!

[00:01:04] Sacrilegious Discourse. Welcome to Sacrilegious Discourse. I'm husband and I'm wife. Together we're
[00:01:20] reading the Bible for the very first time. We grew up without religion and wanted to know
[00:01:24] what all the fuss was about. Well, what have we learned so far? That God is a dick and apparently
[00:01:30] some people believe in talking donkeys. We're not trying to pass ourselves off as experts.
[00:01:34] Nope, we're just reading the Bible for the first time and giving our first take reaction.
[00:01:38] If you'd like to join us in this venture you might consider starting at episode one.
[00:01:42] Otherwise jump in wherever you like. Alright let's go read the Bible. Yeah let's get to it.
[00:01:50] Husband! Wife!
[00:01:52] Do you remember what happened yesterday and where the hell we are today? Well, yesterday
[00:01:56] we read Jeremiah chapter 32. We did. And in that chapter I recall that Jeremiah was God told
[00:02:07] him that he was going to buy a thing. It was a dream maybe they was going to end up buying
[00:02:11] a piece of land from his somebody, some family member. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.
[00:02:16] It was the witness. Yeah, no, I think it was like his uncle or some shit. Sure, whatever.
[00:02:20] Then it actually happened. Then it actually happened so that obviously proves that all the
[00:02:23] prophecies are correct because he bought the land. Yeah. You know, and then he had a dream about
[00:02:28] it so that makes everything correct and true. Is that how that works? He prophesied a prophecy.
[00:02:36] There you go. Did I do that right? I hope so because we just got done talking about this.
[00:02:40] Honestly, I can't remember because... I just don't know. See, you should be in our discord group
[00:02:47] Tuesdays at 10 and then you could correct me because I will get it wrong. Right. Yeah, yeah.
[00:02:55] And then I think God was promising that they all come back after they got destroyed and wonderful
[00:03:00] stuff was going to in two, right? Sure. Eventually, eventually, after all the terrible things.
[00:03:05] Right. And he's writing this. There's terrible things and then good things here. Right, but he's
[00:03:09] writing this from jail and Baruch is writing it too. Maybe. Yeah, and also Baruch took the deed
[00:03:20] from the sale of the land and put it in an earthen pot. I mean, they were supposed to at least.
[00:03:25] They said they were going to. Yeah. So that they could prove later that they cared enough to write
[00:03:30] it down. Something. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, that was Jeremiah chapter 32. Sure, it's fuck was. Which means
[00:03:36] that today we're getting into Jeremiah chapter 33. All right, let's do this. Okey dokey.
[00:03:50] All right, we are doing Jeremiah chapter 33. Okay. Are you ready for this? I'm ready for it.
[00:03:57] More over. More over. The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time. Not a second time.
[00:04:05] A second time. Is this only the second time? Well, the first time it was he's in jail and he's like
[00:04:10] buy some land. I thought God's been talking through him this whole time we've been reading this book.
[00:04:14] But in jail, this is the second time. Oh, so this is the second time in jail. Right. Okay. It didn't
[00:04:19] clarify that, but I'm going to guess that's what they mean. Okay, because otherwise we can't trust
[00:04:23] to do. Oh, I didn't finish the sentence. I'm sorry. In jail while he was still shut up in the court
[00:04:28] of the prison. Yep. Okay. Okay. That's the rest of the sentence. Okay. See, but I guessed correctly. You did.
[00:04:34] I'm awesome. Okay, saying the Lord says the Lord who made it made it. The Lord who formed it to
[00:04:43] establish it. It. The Lord is his name. That was parentheses voice. Okay. Yeah, I have notes about
[00:04:50] that. There's a question about like the fuck is it? I mean, the only one I am aware of is a clown
[00:04:55] that lives in the gutter. That would be Pennywise. Right. Yeah. It has a name. This it is not a clown
[00:05:04] and it's not an alien. It could be Jerusalem. More likely, it is the entire planet. But not
[00:05:13] in universe, not the universe, just the planet. They didn't know about the universe to it. It. Okay.
[00:05:20] Yeah. I think we should just from now forward call Earth it when I'm like, fuck it. Yeah.
[00:05:26] Then you guys know that I'm saying fuck Earth. What a beautiful it it is. Oh, what a beautiful
[00:05:34] yeah. Yeah. I love you all the way from the moon to it. Yeah. Yeah. And back again. And back. Right.
[00:05:42] Okay. So anyway, God's talking. Okay. After he formed it. Yeah. He says call to me and I will answer
[00:05:50] you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. Okay. I mean, for me on kind of
[00:05:58] dumb, I think so like everything I don't know is great and mighty. I feel like the great and mighty
[00:06:05] things he's going to show us are that we have to fear him and love him. Um, those are the things
[00:06:09] that we are they're going to show us that we don't know. Those things are not great and mighty. Not in
[00:06:14] my opinion, but I feel like that's what he's talking about because that's always what he's talking
[00:06:17] about. You have to fear me, you have to love me, you have to, you know, bow to me and cater to me
[00:06:22] and make and kill things for me and do shit for me. Um, when he said call to me and I will answer
[00:06:28] you, it made me think of the song by little not little nazx, um, call me by my name Montero. Okay.
[00:06:37] That's the one where he slides down the pole. Yeah. And lap dances on the devil. I fucking love that
[00:06:45] song and I love that video. Yeah. But my favorite one by little nazx is the one where he's a zombie.
[00:06:53] Um, I can't remember what it's called. It's so good. I'll try to remember to send it to you in
[00:06:57] the show notes. It's, it's so fucking good. All right. Okay. Anyway, yeah. Call me by my name.
[00:07:02] Right. Okay. Uh, call to me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which
[00:07:08] you do not know for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel concerning the houses of this city
[00:07:15] and the houses of the kings of Judah, which have been pulled down to fortify against the siege
[00:07:21] mounds and the sword. Okay. So that was all lead up to here's what I'm about to fucking say. Sure.
[00:07:27] Okay. They come to fight with the chaldeans but only to fill their places with the dead bodies of
[00:07:34] men whom I will slay in my anger and my fury. Oh, for those whose wickedness I have hidden my
[00:07:42] face from this city. Wait, who's he slaying? He's slaying the people fighting the Israelites
[00:07:48] or the people that are fighting against the child. Oh no, he's um, the people are coming to fight
[00:07:58] the chaldeans but only to um to get killed to get killed. Okay. Yeah. All right. Yeah. So he's
[00:08:05] still he's using the chaldeans as a tool who's going to kill all these wayward Israelites that
[00:08:12] are not following God's laws. The directs that were left behind that didn't get all right.
[00:08:16] All right. So he's still being an asshole to his people. Yes, yes. Okay. Behold, I will bring it
[00:08:22] health and healing. I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.
[00:08:28] So they're wait, I thought they were going to die. They are. He's going to heal death. No,
[00:08:34] the ones that are left over there. Oh, the ones that didn't quite die. He's going to heal them.
[00:08:40] They're over in Babylon. Oh, okay. Yeah. He's like, Yoke, come back now. Got it. I know it's all
[00:08:46] bloody here now but you'd be okay. But that's like 70 years from now though. Yeah, don't worry about
[00:08:51] it. Right. Yeah. And I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return see?
[00:08:57] Yeah. And we'll rebuild those places as at first. I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by
[00:09:05] which they have sinned against me and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned
[00:09:11] and by which they have transgressed against me. Then it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise
[00:09:21] and an honor before all nations of the earth who shall hear all the good that I do to them.
[00:09:28] They shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.
[00:09:34] Again, so I harp on this a lot but like I feel like he doesn't really care to change people's
[00:09:44] hearts as they stand. He's like a guy. And you have to follow the certain model or else he's going
[00:09:49] to turn his back on you, smite you, put you into slavery, turn his back on you for generations not
[00:09:55] just like you specifically but you and your kids. Yeah. And then maybe if you guys are able to change
[00:10:01] your ways like you know hundreds of years from now, he might love you until you decide to go against
[00:10:07] him again. Right. It just doesn't it just doesn't feel like a very healthy relationship. That's all.
[00:10:12] It's always the fear me or die but you totally have free will to choose whichever way you want.
[00:10:19] Yeah. No except for that except for that one way you know what this God hypothetically is going to
[00:10:27] murder you or send you away or cause you all kinds of problems and famine and whatever else.
[00:10:33] Testaments. So there's not really a choice here. No. And moreover it's just it's not a way like
[00:10:41] there's no relationship growth here. It's his way or the highway. Yeah. You know, you don't have
[00:10:47] a good choice here. There is no good choice. And I don't think that people you know the other
[00:10:51] thing is that I don't think these people actually know what their choice is. Right. So I still have
[00:10:56] questions about that. No matter how much he says he wrote it on their heart, I don't believe that
[00:10:59] based on what I'm hearing from what these people do. He has a written it down on their heart. But
[00:11:03] he's supposed to before they come back. Yeah. That's later. Yeah. We're not there yet. All right.
[00:11:07] That's in the next book. Okay. Loss says the Lord again. There shall be heard in this place
[00:11:15] of which you say it is desolate without man and without beast in the cities of Judah in the streets
[00:11:22] of Jerusalem that are desolate without man and without inhabitant and without beast. The voice
[00:11:28] of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride,
[00:11:34] the voice of those who will say I love these quotes within quotes within quotes. Praise the Lord
[00:11:40] of hosts for the Lord is good for his mercy and yours forever except his mercy doesn't endure
[00:11:46] forever. No, his mercy and yours only before he gets in a pissy mood. Right. And only if you're
[00:11:52] following things exactly to the letter or the law that he wants you to follow. Mercy is not
[00:11:57] only for when you behave. Mercy is supposed to extend to you even when you have fucked up. Right.
[00:12:04] Otherwise, it's not mercy. It's just being an easy shallow fair with her fan. I think they
[00:12:11] call that right? Right. Yeah. Like you only like your team when it's winning. Yeah. Yeah. That's
[00:12:16] like we even recognize now in today's society that rehabilitation is a better method than punishment.
[00:12:23] Right. Rehabilitation is much more successful. I mean, only the progressives do. Well, okay. The
[00:12:30] conservatives don't. But yeah, I'm just saying that there were there was none of these ideas which
[00:12:36] have been in my opinion proven to be accurate. Yes. We're not even attempted by this quote unquote
[00:12:42] God. Right. You know, like these weren't things that even occurred to happen back then. Right.
[00:12:46] And that that is part of what I can't wrap my head around with the idea of God and this Almighty
[00:12:54] being that's supposed to know everything can't even figure out how to people. Right. You know,
[00:12:58] like he just came in figure it out. Did you not know about the social sciences?
[00:13:03] Right. You would think he would know way more than we would. Like, hypothetically, he should know
[00:13:08] way more than we do. Yeah. And like his laws of living and life should reflect this knowledge that
[00:13:14] is way more than we currently knew back then. Right. Because he knew all the things that were best.
[00:13:21] And then there will be people who say, well, that's what Jesus did. And I'm like, okay, but we're
[00:13:25] not there yet. And why did God have to be all Jesus' see before he could be a good God? Right.
[00:13:33] It went even if you do, you know, take this and still believe in God, right? Yeah. I think you
[00:13:40] have to at some level admit that this God is not the most powerful, most almighty thing on the planet
[00:13:47] because he has flaws. Yeah. Like if we are to like, if we want to pretend like God exists, right? Sure.
[00:13:56] If I wanted to even wrap my head around that idea even a little bit, I would have to first
[00:14:03] accept the fact that that God that I am choosing to believe in has flaws. Yes. It is a flawed entity
[00:14:13] which automatically to me disqualifies it from being. Right. It opens up a whole other set of problems,
[00:14:20] right? Because the question then is what does it mean to be a God if a God has flaws? Right. That's
[00:14:26] not a God that's merely an alien that's more powerful than I am. You know what I mean? Like,
[00:14:34] yeah. You know, two pointed people, I would be considered a God and we all know I'm fucking flawed.
[00:14:41] Right. Yeah. So I ain't trying to walk around saying I'm God. Right. That's all I'm saying. No, yeah,
[00:14:48] it just the things that occur to me. That's all. Yeah. Yeah. Show our thoughts. Right. Back porch philosophy. Yes.
[00:14:54] And of those who will bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord for I will cause the
[00:15:00] captives of the land to return as at first says the Lord. Plus says the Lord of hosts in this place
[00:15:10] which is desolate without man and without beast. And in all its cities, there shall again be a dwelling
[00:15:16] place of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. Aw. Mm. It's cute. Yeah. In the cities of the
[00:15:24] mountains, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the south, in the land of Benjamin,
[00:15:29] in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flock shall again pass under the
[00:15:37] hands of him who counts them says the Lord. Wait, God's doing a count.
[00:15:42] He thinks we were allowed to count thing. Remember how we don't allow to count things sometimes?
[00:15:45] That's another time. There's not just people. We can count flocks and sheep and stuff. It just
[00:15:49] depends. Sometimes they do it. I'm just trying to make sure we gotta be clear. I might get
[00:15:53] smoked if I don't, if I count the wrong fucking thing, you know? Dude, if we were going to get
[00:15:57] smoked, we'd already be smoked. It's true. Behold, the days are coming says the Lord that I will perform
[00:16:05] that good thing, which I have promised to the House of Israel and to the House of Judah.
[00:16:10] I really find it interesting that he still refers to them separately. Yeah.
[00:16:14] There's some Judah over here and there's some Israel over there. That's just in case they want
[00:16:20] to expand their borders, you know? Like in case they ever get beyond the Jerusalem thing.
[00:16:25] We reserve the right to bring back in those other tribes and that of the land over there because,
[00:16:29] you know, I just find it interesting that there's still mentions separately instead of like all one.
[00:16:36] It is interesting. Yeah. I don't quite understand that distinction exactly, but it still speaks to
[00:16:42] the geography of the tribes as opposed to the people as a whole. Right. And obviously the
[00:16:51] prominence of the of Judah is much greater than any of the other tribes that are out there.
[00:16:56] Which is so weird to me. Like when I was first reading these with you, like when we were early days,
[00:17:02] I kept getting so confused because I thought Israel was where it's at.
[00:17:07] Well and they treated early on there was some distinction as to
[00:17:12] some more powerful than other tribes, right? But as far as being God's people,
[00:17:17] they were all treated equally early on. Yeah. And then it just kind of like, we just kind of lost,
[00:17:22] like, you know, they call them the last tribes, right? But we just started losing them.
[00:17:26] The ten. Oh shit. Yeah. We don't hear about them anymore. Yeah. They just wandered off
[00:17:31] yeah. Into the sunset. It was really weird. It's just like when we talk about the Jewish people today,
[00:17:39] I mean, I fully admit to my ignorance that I am not at all versed in anything relating to Judaism or
[00:17:51] the lands and the people. Okay. Other than what I've learned thus far. But before we started
[00:17:58] reading this, I never knew about a Judah. Sure. I only knew about Israel. Israel is the thing.
[00:18:06] That's what I knew. Right. And it just really surprises me reading this that, oh no, actually
[00:18:13] Israel's gone y'all. Like it's Judah. Judah's Judah's the the lasting tribe. Maybe but I think the
[00:18:20] reason that they refer to it as Israel now is because they want to be a restored Israel, right? That's
[00:18:26] the idea that they want to push forward in the world is that it is a restored Israel. And I get
[00:18:33] that. But that is not made clear to dumb, dumb like me who like should I don't I just I was very
[00:18:44] confused. Sure. I didn't understand. Right. I thought Judah or no, I didn't know anything about
[00:18:51] Judah. Right. I thought that Israel was the one. I didn't know that Israel, you know, it was a
[00:18:58] conglomeration of tribes that disappeared. Right. You know, I just I didn't understand that. Sure.
[00:19:04] How could I possibly have thought that? I mean, it requires learning about the culture. It
[00:19:08] requires learning about their their their religion. It requires learning more about them. So
[00:19:12] which is which is partly what we're doing here. Yes. I just I like I wonder how many other people
[00:19:17] like me had no idea that oh Israel is not actually. I mean, I don't know how true this is but I
[00:19:25] apparently I heard one time that there's like one in 10 people in the United States that can't even
[00:19:28] point out the United States on a fucking map. Oh, so I mean, I don't have a lot of faith in how much
[00:19:32] people are going to know about anything like that's true. That's true. Do you remember that one Jimmy
[00:19:37] Kimmelbit where they were asking people to identify the country and it was just the United States
[00:19:44] upside down. And they like had no idea what it was. That that was killing me. Yeah. Because I was
[00:19:52] like that's just the United States upside down, right? I was just like turning my head sideways.
[00:19:57] It actually made me feel kind of smartish for a minute. Sure. Yeah. Because nobody else was well
[00:20:02] I mean to be fair they pick on people. Oh sure. They're not going to show the ones that get it like
[00:20:06] that's yeah, like they probably ask like 500 people and they show like the five that are dumb. Yeah
[00:20:11] yeah. No, I get that in those days and at that time I will cause to grow up to David
[00:20:18] a branch of righteousness. Okay, okay. I grow up to David like not transcend down
[00:20:28] as descendants through David. Right. Well, he's I think the symbolism though is that he's planting
[00:20:34] the righteousness and it's going to grow from the land that he's replanting them in. Right. No,
[00:20:40] I get that but also that so what he's saying is remember that one time when I said that
[00:20:48] the branch would go through David, I was just kidding because actually I just like took away
[00:20:54] that possibility accidentally. Right. So now what I'm going to say is that I'm going to plant
[00:21:01] some people and they're just going to kind of like somehow magically be David of David without
[00:21:10] like genealogy wise. Well, I'm sure they could find a second cousin right whenever something
[00:21:17] that they can be like there we're going to stay there. There. That's the one. Yeah, but you see
[00:21:22] what I'm saying though he's like JK right. Like see God does change his mind and mess up and rewrite
[00:21:29] as long as we can pretend it's all okay. Yeah. You know, we just have to be able to it's just like any
[00:21:33] other conspiracy theory or anything else. You just have to have some basis in fact. And then over
[00:21:38] the rest of it, you can do right. Yeah exactly either overlook or bend your mind in pretzels,
[00:21:43] whichever is easy for you. I don't have a pretzel head. I have a potato head. He shall execute
[00:21:50] judgment and righteousness in the earth. The David is the branch of the righteous David
[00:21:56] growth thing. Yeah, the zombie David. Okay. Yeah. Who I have heard Jesus referred to as one of his
[00:22:06] nicknames is Mr. Righteousness. Oh really? I've never heard that not with the mister. I added that
[00:22:12] for fun. Yeah, okay. Yeah, one of his alternate names is righteousness really? Yeah. And so then
[00:22:19] they're like see see see see see and then they pointed this and they're like prophecy again,
[00:22:24] again, the book was written after all this shit that you could make it profite as much as they want to.
[00:22:29] Why did they call him righteousness? This was already written down right? Yeah. Yeah, like yeah,
[00:22:37] yes, I'm sure they did call him that didn't they? Right. Okay. Anyway, in those days Judah will be saved
[00:22:44] and Jerusalem will dwell safely. And this is the name by which she will be called. Are you ready?
[00:22:50] Is it another new name? No, it's the same name. Ready? Yeah. The Lord our righteousness all caps.
[00:22:56] That's what Israel is going to be called? Yeah, that's what no, the the Jerusalem Jerusalem is going to
[00:23:02] be called the Lord our righteousness. Yeah, that is a new name. Why would they call Jerusalem? The
[00:23:08] Lord is God now the city he planned it so much that he just kind of grew into the city. Yeah,
[00:23:14] his he planted himself. Yes, now you're getting it and then his righteousness grew out of the ground
[00:23:21] through David which is then Jesus right? Yeah, is that how that works? I think so. Okay, I mean,
[00:23:26] we're not there yet. So I could really sure how crop rotation works with with gods but I mean,
[00:23:31] I'm assuming you have to just water it just right and then you get a god that goes into a Messiah
[00:23:36] that then saves the world and everything's cool. Is that about it? Is that about the time that
[00:23:41] the Greeks had aqueducts? I don't know because I remember in sixth grade learning about
[00:23:50] Greek, archie, no architecture and like buildings and whatnot. Sure. And I remember that's where
[00:23:58] I learned the word aqueduct and that that was like an amazing feat. Right. And I don't know why
[00:24:06] that stuck with me. Also, the word not zeitgeist. What's the other one? Zayi something. Okay,
[00:24:14] I'll get back to you but it's like a pyramid. Okay, but it starts with a zigrat. Zigrat. Yeah. Yeah,
[00:24:21] we talked about that before. Yeah, not zeitgeist. I think one of the most amazing things to me actually
[00:24:26] about like, no, not at all. Okay. But the idea that so like we're very heavily enveloped in
[00:24:34] the whole biblical world right now, right? Sure. With what we're learning and everything right now.
[00:24:39] It's interesting to like I think that I think that it's easy for someone who is religious or
[00:24:44] believes in God to get very wrapped up in this one little place. But to step out like what really
[00:24:50] intrigues me about reading the Bible is to sometimes step outside of that biblical circle and say,
[00:24:57] oh these other things were going on. Yeah, like over here. What was happening in Greece and Rome
[00:25:01] and Asia or Italy, you know, all those other places? Right. Yeah. Like what were the other things
[00:25:07] happening in the world? Yeah. That we're happening at these same times. It's really neat to me to
[00:25:12] kind of understand that in context. Yeah. So I love I love to it just it makes the world seem bigger
[00:25:20] and and smaller at the same time like this seem smaller, right? Because you don't have because
[00:25:26] this idea is one idea of many in the world that existed at that one time. Yeah, that's what I'm
[00:25:30] in by bigger and smaller at the same time because it's like there's so much happening the world is huge
[00:25:35] but also like it's all on one little thing. Right. Right. The world's so small. It's cute. But it's
[00:25:43] yeah anyway, anyway, I had to say that for us says the Lord thus ready. Yep. David shall never
[00:25:50] lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel nor shall the priest the Levites lack a man
[00:25:57] to offer burnt offerings before me to Kindle grain offerings and to sacrifice continually. I see
[00:26:04] he's still about all that. So we're still yeah, we're still sacrificing. Yeah, we're still paganish.
[00:26:09] Yeah, right? And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah saying thus says the Lord. I like how he's like
[00:26:18] the Lord says this and then he's like, I'm the Lord and I see this. Right. Okay, call me your
[00:26:24] debts if you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night so that there will
[00:26:32] not be day and night in their season then my covenant may also be broken with David my servant
[00:26:40] so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne and with the Levites the priests my ministers.
[00:26:47] So so he's saying there's no way that this can be broken because you can't stop the day and the night.
[00:26:55] So I promise you well, I don't know have you heard all the conspiracy theories about the
[00:27:00] the solar eclipse that's happening on the eat the month of April yeah, I have heard so like
[00:27:05] that's like that's like the day stopping right in the middle of the day. That's what I hear. I mean it's
[00:27:10] not. I've heard I've heard from very unreputable sources like this is like the end is not
[00:27:20] a type thing you know like this is the first eclipse since way back there's all kinds of I mean
[00:27:24] like let me tell you something spoiler alert it's not no we just had on the clips like a few years ago
[00:27:30] but this is a big one what okay whatever yeah and it makes some sort of like X across America
[00:27:37] from the time. Except it does I'm except it does whatever I don't I don't really care like it's just
[00:27:42] it's they they've created this whole like conspiracy nutcase scenario where this means the end of the
[00:27:47] world and I'm like what in the hell like where do these people how do they who sits around and
[00:27:54] just like looks at these things and comes up with all these crazy scenarios that just can't be true
[00:28:02] right like who's doing it they have to know that they're doing this as a clickbait thing like they
[00:28:08] have to know that this is just sensationalism based on on you know incorrect information see what I
[00:28:17] like to do is scroll through the comments on those things not to read the hate comments and not
[00:28:23] to read the flamers but to read the people that are like this isn't true because and then they explain
[00:28:30] why it isn't true yeah and then that's where I start with my research because then I go look up
[00:28:37] the arguments and I'm like that argument was correct right and that's fun yeah like I don't go do
[00:28:44] I don't start at my own research I start with what are the smart people in the comments saying
[00:28:51] and that saves me from just like random searching sure you know yeah and then I go look that
[00:28:57] shit up and I'm like those commenters were correct this is bullshit which I knew but here's why yeah
[00:29:04] that's fun that's a lot of fun as the host of heaven cannot be numbered nor the sand of the sea
[00:29:12] measured hmm that's fun that's a throwback yep that's a b side right so will I multiply the descendants
[00:29:20] of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me well there you go but I bring them back the
[00:29:26] sands of the beach and all that but I heard that Jesus was not only an only child but also never
[00:29:32] fought that's what I heard yeah so what you mean what yeah I don't know because then I also heard
[00:29:40] like in those Dan Brown novels that he totally had siblings and dude totally fucked yeah
[00:29:48] and then in the movie dogma of course he had children because you know she was a descendant we
[00:29:52] certainly don't seem to maybe and maybe I'm wrong because I'm not in the Jewish community but it
[00:29:57] doesn't feel like the line of David is really a thing that we talk about or even Levites anymore yeah
[00:30:03] and and again I'm not in that community so I don't know that to be 100% certain we don't hear about
[00:30:08] it outside I don't I certainly yeah I don't from from the outside perspective I certainly don't have
[00:30:12] any idea that that is something that is still discussed as a ongoing thing right so I would be
[00:30:20] curious about that if it is still something that is talked about or cared about in any way yeah people
[00:30:27] that are familiar with contemporary Jewish law and law and happenings is I feel like this would
[00:30:36] make for a good like side you know episode like we could talk about like whatever happened to them
[00:30:44] Levi when like yeah they still discuss that stuff and today's you know and the current Jewish
[00:30:49] community right right that's still something that is happening so I would be curious about that
[00:30:53] I would as well yeah let's learn about Levites and David and David people
[00:30:59] Davidians the Davidians yeah right yeah branch Davidians but no that's something entirely different
[00:31:08] oh wife more over the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah saying have you not considered
[00:31:16] what these people have spoken saying the two families which the Lord has chosen he has also cast them
[00:31:22] off thus they have despised my people as if they should no more be a nation before them thus says
[00:31:31] the Lord if my covenant is not with day and night and if I am not appointed the ordinances of heaven
[00:31:38] and earth then I will cast away the descendants of Jacob and David my servant so that I will not take
[00:31:44] any of his descendants to be rulers over the descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob I'm
[00:31:51] all said Jason but no he's making a claw he's making a caveat here like if you guys fuck up
[00:31:59] I reserve the right to cancel this whole thing but I thought he's saying before there's no way
[00:32:05] it can be canceled because unless you can stop day or night or something like that which
[00:32:11] I guess probably he's saying that that can't be done yeah okay yeah all right fair enough yeah
[00:32:18] for I will cause their captives to return and we'll have mercy on them the end okay well yeah um
[00:32:27] I mean I don't really they're coming back he's gonna restore them and David there's
[00:32:34] going to be branches growing through David's line and I'll kind of tell you like I'm over Jeremiah
[00:32:40] I know we said this about every other yeah no it happens in every book that we're in we're like oh
[00:32:44] quiet is this gonna end soon like this guy he's too much and he's getting like the books are
[00:32:51] getting closer and closer to Jesus and so they're so Jesusy they are a bit yeah and I don't
[00:32:56] it makes me very antsy and uncomfortable but I have to say the reading that you you have to try
[00:33:03] to go to like another level to get the Jesus bit out of it right like I I from this perspective
[00:33:10] of the world know that that's what you know the people that wrote the New Testament were trying to
[00:33:15] get at yeah but I also know that they wrote that with the idea that this was already in the old
[00:33:19] testament so like right it doesn't like I'm trying to interpret it in such a way that it actually
[00:33:25] I'm trying to read it just with the eyes of the people as they wrote it right and it's really hard
[00:33:32] because you know where it's going sure because we've been told in luscious Jewish then it's not going
[00:33:38] fucking anywhere right but I'm neither Jewish nor uninformed of the Jesus story right you know
[00:33:45] and so it's hard to take those things out of my head and say okay just pretend like this is the
[00:33:51] only thing that you know but also from that perspective every time you have tried every time we
[00:33:57] have pointed out an instance where this is this is referring to Jesus possibly based on the New
[00:34:02] Testament what they say yeah I can also read it and say that makes no fucking like every single time
[00:34:08] yeah I can read that section and say I don't that they do that's a stretch that's that's a you're
[00:34:14] really trying you that's a try hard you're not you're not look the people that wrote the
[00:34:19] fucking New Testament clearly saw all these writings and they like they wrote post-ated checks
[00:34:27] yeah right they much like a lot of the stuff in the old testament yeah yeah a lot of the stuff
[00:34:33] was written to fit a current stuff that already was out there right yeah so like basically the
[00:34:40] story kept building on itself but backwards yeah yeah to backfill essentially that's correct yeah it's
[00:34:46] so dumb it's so childish it's so not the way a good story goes couldn't agree more and on that note
[00:34:56] that was Jeremiah chapter 33 sure spoke was which means that we will be back tomorrow with
[00:35:03] Jeremiah chapter 34 all right we'll see you then bye
