[00:01:16] Welcome to Sacrilegious Discourse. I'm husband and I'm wife. Together we're reading the Bible

[00:01:20] for the very first time. We grew up without religion and wanted to know what all the fuss was about.

[00:01:26] Well, what have we learned so far? That God is a dick and apparently some people believe in talking

[00:01:31] donkeys. We're not trying to pass ourselves off as experts. Nope, we're just reading the Bible

[00:01:36] for the first time and giving our first take reaction. If you'd like to join us in this

[00:01:40] venture you might consider starting that episode one. Otherwise jump in wherever you like. All

[00:01:44] right, let's go read the Bible. Yeah, let's get to it.

[00:01:50] Husband. Wife. Do you remember what happened on Friday and where the hell we are today?

[00:01:55] Well, on Friday we covered Jeremiah chapter 50. We sure as fuck did. And in that chapter,

[00:02:03] God was going on and on and on about how Babylon sucks and he's going to,

[00:02:07] you know, demise them, fuck them up, kill them, murder them, you know, all the bad shit

[00:02:13] that God does to everybody all the fucking time. And we were questioning like, hey, God,

[00:02:20] you know, like you were using these fuckers as a tool and so why all the vengeance and why all the

[00:02:27] mean shit? We knew it was coming and it's even so it's still like really though. Yeah, it's just

[00:02:33] the way God uses people and then like abuses them after the fact is really just complete

[00:02:41] nut or bullshit. It really is like he's all happy to use Babylon as a tool, as a weapon,

[00:02:46] as a whatever to serve his purpose, right? And obviously because we're talking into the

[00:02:54] canon and we're talking in the Bible, he is controlling or at least influencing these

[00:03:00] people to do his bidding, right? Or allowing them to and encouraging them. Sure, sure.

[00:03:05] Whatever the case may be, he is utilizing them as a tool, quote unquote. His own words. Yeah. So

[00:03:14] I don't understand the need for all the vengeance at the end of it, right? Doesn't really make a

[00:03:19] whole lot of sense. It feels like he could just as easily make them a tool to go scatter

[00:03:25] themselves to the winds, right? You know, like, I mean, you're God, you have all the power,

[00:03:30] you can do whatever the fuck you want. Apparently, apparently you like killing people. Yeah,

[00:03:36] that's the one that's what I take from it. That's what I gather seems to have been the case through

[00:03:40] the whole Bible though. It really does. And that's one of those things that just constantly

[00:03:45] disturbs me about this God, about this Bible, about these words that he uses. So

[00:03:52] anyway, that was Jeremiah chapter 50. Shersfuck was which means that today we're getting into

[00:03:59] Jeremiah chapter 51. And I think you have some little aside here as to where we are in the Bible

[00:04:07] like an apology, maybe an apology, but at least a clarification. Okay, clarification and apology.

[00:04:14] For some reason, I thought that 51 was the final chapter of Jeremiah, but it turns out that

[00:04:20] there are 52 chapters, 52, 52, like a deck of cards. Right, right. So tomorrow, Tuesday,

[00:04:29] we will be doing Jeremiah chapter 52. And then doing all the special Q&A and then our

[00:04:36] Jeremiah ramp up and then our you're always wrong, which actually makes our week work

[00:04:42] perfect because it gets us to Friday with everything that we need to do this week. So

[00:04:46] and I think we're going to be doing this one in the same vein that we've been doing

[00:04:49] the rest of them last week. And just reading it without previously notes because we're going

[00:04:54] to these are long chapters, they're really involved with like all this country, vengeance,

[00:05:01] bullshit. So we're going to read through and then we'll get to the notes on let's see that

[00:05:05] Wednesday. Yeah. So all right, so we're heading into Jeremiah chapter 50.

[00:05:11] 51. 51. 51. Sorry. That was my bad. And yeah, you ready to do this? Yes. All right, let's do this.

[00:07:05] All right, Jeremiah chapter 51. Okay. Thus says the Lord does he now. Okay. Behold.

[00:07:13] Okay. I'm beholden. I will raise up against Babylon. We're still on Babylon? Yes. Oh my

[00:07:20] against those who dwell in leb Kami a destroying wind and more over. Yeah. Okay. I will send

[00:07:30] winnowers to Babylon who shall winnow her an empty her land. Winnow. Winnowers? If you winnow

[00:07:37] something down, you take it little by little. Okay. Okay. Until it's nothing. It's just

[00:07:41] a weird way to use that word like winnowers. Like, yeah. Okay. I would call them more like

[00:07:48] killers, murderers. Yeah. But maybe or even like, you know, what is

[00:07:53] slavers, right? Like they just come in and like steal your goods and show that. I don't know.

[00:07:56] Yeah. But it's a weird way to use that word. I totally agree. I totally agree.

[00:08:00] For in the day of doom, they shall be against all her. Oh, I read that wrong. They shall be

[00:08:06] against her all around. Okay. Okay. Against her, let the archer bend his bow

[00:08:13] and lift himself up against her in his armor. Do not spare her young men. Utterly destroy

[00:08:22] all her army. That's the loving God we know and love.

[00:08:27] Thus, the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaudians and those thrust through in her streets.

[00:08:34] Jesus. I love me some violent. I mean, don't you love thrusting?

[00:08:40] Not, no. Not like this. No. Oh, no. For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah by his God the Lord of hosts,

[00:08:51] though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. Okay. Yeah. Israel and Judah,

[00:08:58] he still loves them even though they fucked up royally. Of all the asshole humans on the

[00:09:04] planet. They're the best ones. They're the best. Yeah. Flea from the midst of Babylon and everyone

[00:09:11] save his life. Do not be cut off in her iniquity for this is the time of the Lord's vengeance.

[00:09:18] I still struggle with this idea that you can flee God's vengeance, right? Like you are

[00:09:26] wrong and bad because you're a Babylonian in his eyes, right? And yet if you flee,

[00:09:32] you can save yourself because why? You're still a Babylonian. Like, why do you get to flee and

[00:09:39] save yourself? Honestly, why are you giving them a heads up that you're coming? Right. There's that

[00:09:44] too. Like I'm giving you a heads up. Go ahead and flee if you want. Yeah. I'm coming to kill you.

[00:09:48] Yeah. Still in the next chapter. Yeah. He shall recompense her. And let's talk about

[00:09:55] the Lord's vengeance. I'm still never going to be okay with he's vengeful. Right. Like,

[00:10:01] that is a negative. That's a naughty word that we try not to be vengeful, right? That's ugly behavior.

[00:10:09] Right. I would think that most quote unquote good Christians would say that that's not a good

[00:10:14] trait. That's what I would think. That based on my naive understanding of what Christianity was

[00:10:22] prior to reading this podcast, you know, like, but what Christians claim is love and,

[00:10:28] you know, forgiveness and all these things. Right. So my idea of what a Christian quote unquote

[00:10:35] a Christian would be would be not for vengeance. It would be the exact opposite. Yeah. So it really

[00:10:42] strikes me as counter to the whole idea of Christianity, what God stands for through

[00:10:47] most of the Old Testament. Yeah. It's really just weird. It's very weird. And I don't love

[00:10:52] it. No. No, Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord's hand that made all the earth drunk.

[00:11:02] That's great poetry though. Yeah. That's great imagery. Right. The nations drink her wine.

[00:11:08] Therefore the nations are deranged. Okay. That's interesting. Yeah. Like,

[00:11:17] she influenced everybody else. They enjoyed her goods. Right. And so,

[00:11:23] well they seemed as far as conquerors go back in those days, they seemed pretty forgiving with

[00:11:28] regard to like if you let them conquer you, they let you live and they let you carry on.

[00:11:34] Yeah. For the most part. Just call us your boss and give us our tithes and tacks. Right.

[00:11:39] And you're good to go. Yeah. We just want this place and we want to call it ours.

[00:11:43] Yeah. We just want to put our flag on it. Yeah. That's fine. Right. They weren't like the old

[00:11:48] Israelites who literally destroyed people in totality and knocked over their buildings and

[00:11:55] yeah, took their women, piled their fucking animals and piles in the middle of the city and

[00:12:01] danced in the blood of the babies. Right. Yeah. Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed.

[00:12:07] Suddenly this has been happening for years now.

[00:12:12] Whale for her, take balm for her pain. Perhaps she may be healed.

[00:12:18] Perhaps. Perhaps. Do you know God? Right. Do you have the answer, God? I think that no.

[00:12:27] No he doesn't. No. We would have healed Babylon but she is not healed for

[00:12:33] sake her and let us go everyone to his own country. We would have healed Babylon but she is not healed.

[00:12:40] We would have healed her. What does we would have entailed? How did you try? But we decided

[00:12:45] not to. I don't know. Yeah. Maybe that's in a different book that we didn't get to read the

[00:12:51] copy of. But it sounds awfully like that you wanted to kill a lot of them so it doesn't

[00:12:55] really sound like healing, it sounds like murder. Yeah. Yeah. And now you're like

[00:12:58] everyone go back to your own house. This is like somebody that's stepping on you saying

[00:13:03] I tried to not hurt you. I mean come on. It's not my fault you got in the way of my knife.

[00:13:11] Right. I only stabbed you 26 times. That 27th, that was on you. Right. Sir. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:13:18] You should have seen that one coming. Duh asshole. For her judgment reaches to heaven

[00:13:24] and is lifted up to the skies. The Lord has revealed our righteousness. Come and let us declare

[00:13:31] in Zion the work of the Lord our God. We love me some good murder. Party on. Yeah. Right. I guess.

[00:13:40] I mean that loving this God killing people for vengeance. Yeah. You know I didn't really get

[00:13:46] that they dislike the Babylonians this much. Me neither. The Israelites that is. Right.

[00:13:51] You know like it seemed like they had a I mean they were they were going about their business.

[00:13:55] You know like it's just there were certain people that weren't but there were a lot of people who

[00:14:00] were. Yeah. Yeah. Make the arrows bright. Gather the shields. The Lord has raised up the spirit

[00:14:07] of the kings of the Medes for his plan is against Babylon to destroy it because it is

[00:14:13] the vengeance of the Lord the vengeance for his temple. Because they destroyed his temple.

[00:14:20] Yeah. That hurts. Yeah. You destroy God's house and you're fucked. He's going to kill you hard.

[00:14:27] That you see in this this but this strikes me as there was no there was no help for them. There

[00:14:33] was no recourse for them to not get killed. Right. God was going to kill him even though

[00:14:38] God was the one that made them destroy the temple and said for them to destroy the temple

[00:14:43] and that was his plan to begin with. So set up the standard on the walls of Babylon make the guard

[00:14:51] strong set up the watchmen prepare the ambushes going to war. Yeah. For the Lord has both devised

[00:15:00] and done what he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon but he's still got to send some other

[00:15:07] people to do the work. Yes. Yes. So. O you who dwell by many waters abundant in treasures

[00:15:15] your end has come the measure of your covetousness. What were they coveting? I mean they were taking

[00:15:23] over lots of lands that are probably stealing treasures from all these people and you know

[00:15:27] I mean the things you do as a conqueror you're you got to pay for your war campaign somehow

[00:15:32] which is usually through the spoils of war right. So. That's true. The Lord of hosts has sworn by

[00:15:39] himself surely I will fill you with men as with locusts and they shall lift up a shout against you.

[00:15:47] He has made the earth by his power he has established the world by his wisdom and

[00:15:52] stretched out the heaven by his understanding when he utters his voice his capital H.

[00:15:59] Yeah. Oh God. Yeah. There is a multitude of waters in the heavens he causes the vapors to ascend from

[00:16:08] the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain. He brings the wind out of his treasuries.

[00:16:15] He brings the wind out of his buttfarts. I mean this is so asinine and nonsensical and

[00:16:22] childish right. Everyone is dull hearted without knowledge. He dull hearted knowledgeless

[00:16:28] husband of mine. Wow. Just kidding love you. Yeah. Every metalsmith is put to shame by the

[00:16:36] carved image for his molded images falsehood and there is no breath in them because. Because

[00:16:42] idols again right yeah. Okay. They are futile a work of errors in the time of their punishment

[00:16:50] they shall perish. The portion of Jacob is not like them for he is the maker of all things

[00:16:57] and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance the Lord of hosts is his name. But those people had

[00:17:04] this the same fucking idol that's why he destroyed them in the first place right they had idols

[00:17:08] they worshiped idols they weren't following his word they were doing the exact same fucking things

[00:17:14] that the rest of these people in ancient times were doing but he liked them and not the others.

[00:17:19] Okay. Yeah that's why they're the chosen ones. All right yeah. They're the Harry Potters.

[00:17:24] All right. They don't have to do jack shit. All right. You are my battle axe and weapons of war

[00:17:32] for with you I will break the nation in pieces with you I will destroy kingdoms with you I will

[00:17:39] break in pieces the horse and its rider with you I will break in pieces the chariot and its rider

[00:17:47] with you also I will break in pieces man and woman with you I will break in pieces old and young

[00:17:55] with you I will break in pieces the young man and the maiden with you also I will break in pieces the

[00:18:02] shepherd and his flock oh my god. You're gonna break a lot of pieces. I will break in pieces

[00:18:07] the farmer and his yoke of oxen. I have a question though is he gonna break him out

[00:18:12] piece of that Kit Kat bar? He is. He is. All right. And with you I will break in pieces

[00:18:17] governors and rulers and Kit Kat bars. See? So it says in the Bible. It's in the hands of the

[00:18:23] right yeah totally. That is a lot of breaking shit. It really is. It really is. He's like

[00:18:29] I'm gonna break this I'm gonna break those fuck this fuck that fuck these fuck all of the things

[00:18:35] over there. Yeah look I'm not like a historian okay so I'm I'm qualifying this statement that

[00:18:42] I'm about to make but in all my studying of great conquerors that I've done through my schooling

[00:18:51] I never recall ever hearing about Israel or you know any yeah or Judah being a great conqueror

[00:18:59] right because never anything that was covered like yes I'm sure that they won some battles

[00:19:03] and that they know they got their land back multiple times after being conquered. I was gonna say what we

[00:19:08] know them for is being the downtrodden right they're the chosen people that always get screwed. Yeah yeah

[00:19:13] and and that that goes along with the man with a god like that but but the way he's talking about

[00:19:20] the way that God in this book here is talking about the Israelites right now is that they are

[00:19:23] this great force that's going to topple you know all these yeah topple nations and stuff

[00:19:29] and it's like oh you're so cute. I'm like that's not really what I know of history yeah I mean

[00:19:36] same I'm not saying you guys didn't hold on to your little spot of land kind of okay for a bit right

[00:19:42] but I mean you're not like known as great conquerors either so no because honestly there's not a lot

[00:19:47] of you at this point so you would think though that if God wanted to spread his word he would

[00:19:52] have chosen better warriors I mean honestly because he likes killing he obviously likes yes

[00:19:58] like no offense to those little Israelite guys right but they clearly weren't the best warriors

[00:20:04] out there no yeah so yeah he didn't necessarily choose. I don't think you have to be a good

[00:20:08] good warrior great warrior or anything to be a good person no me neither but God seems to think

[00:20:14] that that is a admirable trait yeah he seems to prefer war mongering over decent humanity

[00:20:23] so he chose wrong yeah right and I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for

[00:20:31] all the evil they have done in Zion in your sight says the Lord behold I'm against you oh

[00:20:37] destroying mountain who destroys all the earth says the Lord and I will stretch out my hand

[00:20:43] against you roll you down from the rocks and make you a burnt mountain yeah I'm gonna tell people

[00:20:50] when I get mad at them I am gonna push you down a mountain and I'm gonna make you a burnt mountain

[00:20:57] right I'm gonna push you down that hill I'm gonna roll you up you're gonna be a burnt mountain so

[00:21:03] just just a curiosity here because he's kind of talking about Israel being the ones that

[00:21:09] that take back their land in this this chapter right uh-huh but it seems to me in the last

[00:21:14] chapter he was talking about a force from the north being the force that took over yeah

[00:21:18] if I if I recall correctly I thought that that's because you were like

[00:21:22] I was like were they further north yeah because the Babylonians came from the north apparently

[00:21:26] yeah so like where is north of there I have no idea but now it's the Israelites the Israelites

[00:21:32] are getting big and strong again I guess so this seems like it's two separate stories even though

[00:21:37] they're in Egypt now right so well a lot of them are yeah yeah they shall not take from you

[00:21:44] a stone for a corner nor a stone for a foundation but you shall be desolate forever says the lord

[00:21:53] okay set up a banner in the land blow the trumpet among the nations prepare the nations against her

[00:22:01] call the kingdoms together against her okay here we go ready I'm ready here go some nations

[00:22:06] yeah okay Eirurat mini and Ashkenaz appoint a general against her cause the horses to come up

[00:22:14] like bristling locusts wow bristling locusts that's interesting ooh that reminds me have you did I

[00:22:23] already tell you this story have you heard that there are two sets of roots of cicadas yeah yeah

[00:22:28] that are coming around sorry cicadas yeah yeah right um and so the Christians are all losing their

[00:22:33] shit because they're like earthquakes and locusts and eclipse oh my you know what I mean yes yeah but

[00:22:40] what's really cool about these um two broods of locusts that are coming awake at the same time

[00:22:46] right is that there's this fungus that's attacking them and that among us it's going to be among

[00:22:51] them okay and if it gets in the food chain then it might be among us okay and scientists are not

[00:22:56] quite 100 positive how this fungus is going to impact the food chain because the two broods are coming

[00:23:05] together at the same time that's a lot of fucking locusts interesting yeah interesting and this

[00:23:11] low this um um fungus we learned about I don't know if it was like last year or the year before

[00:23:17] very recent like within the last few years um this fungus the last time that um locust came out

[00:23:23] so very recent right um it basically is this like white powdery thing isn't it psychedelic even

[00:23:31] like yes some psychedelic elements to it yes and it makes them lose their junk right and so their whole

[00:23:37] ass end falls off but there's like they're not in pain because of the the fungus that like

[00:23:42] cikes their brain out right right and they don't die they go around just trying to hump everything

[00:23:47] and so they're still trying to fuck yeah and mate and that can't yeah but that's how they spread it

[00:23:53] to each other oh yeah because they're like come here I don't have a penis and my guts are falling

[00:23:59] out but I totally want to fuck you so it's like psychedelic uh cicada zombies yes wow because

[00:24:05] they are kind of zombies right yeah and only they're fuck zombies right instead of wanting to

[00:24:10] eat each other they just want to fuck each other that would you know we talk about band names

[00:24:15] sometimes psychedelic cicada zombies would be a great band name or psychedelic fuck zombies

[00:24:19] right yeah yeah I like this the first one better but psychedelic cicada zombies yeah or locust zombies

[00:24:26] no cicada okay yeah yeah so anytime I see the word locust that's all I could think about is these

[00:24:32] zombie fucking um cicadas right right and honestly I cannot wait even though even though

[00:24:41] there is some question about how it will impact the food supply even just at the lowest level

[00:24:48] yeah so speaking of you you mentioned uh the end of the world and all the signs and all these

[00:24:53] things apocalypse yes go on yeah so um we're still coming up on one of the next apocalyptic days

[00:25:00] which is April 23rd that's right apparently the numerologists amongst the crazy

[00:25:06] think that that is going to be the next that's when the apocalypse was actually gonna happen not during

[00:25:13] it was supposed to be during the eclipse but then it didn't happen so they were like just kidding

[00:25:17] it's only coming up in a week or whatever right I mean we could totally have a like a whole podcast

[00:25:22] dedicated to like apocalypse watch the next apocalypse yeah like still not raptured I

[00:25:28] that should total somebody out there needs to make that podcast yeah I'll probably just call it

[00:25:32] apocalypse watch yeah well like I had um texted my parents when um Iran struck back at Israel

[00:25:40] yeah um this past weekend and was like um the fuck you know right I didn't say the fuck no yeah

[00:25:48] my parents are hardcore christians and sure I try not to they don't like the cusy cussing

[00:25:53] they really don't so I try not to say that shit around them so I was just like wow so that

[00:25:58] happened and then my dad was like yeah straight out of the bible and I was like shooting bombs at

[00:26:04] each other like um the potential to hit a nuclear um facility like yeah those things are in the bible

[00:26:13] huh no it's all about Israel and you know yeah it's all about Israel I know yeah it's just

[00:26:19] but it's not so right let's stop with that bullshit right right like every time something

[00:26:25] happens to Israel people are like it's in the bible and I'm like my god they breathed they breathed is

[00:26:32] that in the bible they breathed they moved they walked it's disturbing to me how much some of these

[00:26:38] people want these end time signs to actually be real well of course they do because they believe

[00:26:43] that they're going to get raptured and go straight to heaven right and meet Jesus and see all their

[00:26:48] dead relatives yeah like my mom but that's what makes it disturbing my mom says over and over

[00:26:53] she can't wait to see your daddy in heaven yeah and I'm like a from what I've heard I don't necessarily

[00:26:59] know that your daddy was a great guy I don't know that he wasn't right but like what makes you think

[00:27:03] he was going to heaven like is that just written in stone like my daddy's in heaven well yeah and

[00:27:08] then the other thing is that but I thought that it was supposed to be there like when you're in

[00:27:13] heaven that you don't give a shit about each other anymore or something like that who fucking

[00:27:18] knows there's not there's no way to know like even if heaven were real there's no way for anybody to

[00:27:24] know what it's actually like there there's not been any there's no there's no proof of any of this

[00:27:30] right so there's no accounting for what actually happened it's all just people hypothesizing what's

[00:27:35] gonna happen after they die they're so excited to die I'm like how are you guys not walking

[00:27:39] out into traffic every day hoping like oh I sure hope a car hits me because I can't commit

[00:27:44] suicide that would be wrong but if I just walk out into the street and a car hits me that's not my

[00:27:51] fault right if I just didn't look both ways before I cross the street yeah just give it to god you know

[00:27:56] right Jesus take the wheel I didn't buckle up today and I accidentally crashed into a fucking wall

[00:28:01] right you know right I just I kind of don't understand how are you so excited to die I gotta

[00:28:08] be honest I think that is the inherent doubt in the system yeah that they don't admit to themselves

[00:28:14] right because otherwise like why my parents are you know they're getting up there in age yeah why do

[00:28:19] you take your medications why do you go get your eyes checked why do you right why did you get all

[00:28:25] of your cancer things taking care of like if you're so excited to die and meet your Jesus and your

[00:28:32] daddy in heaven yeah why don't you just let Jesus take care of you yeah like and why why is all

[00:28:37] that stuff okay but the vaccination isn't right no none of it makes sense if none of it goes

[00:28:42] together and like how is um me saying that a person might have been born in the wrong body

[00:28:51] how is that a slap in God's face when we're talking about gender things but um if you know a child

[00:28:59] needs glasses like that's not a slap in the God's face saying oh my god Jesus really fucked up here

[00:29:05] he really messed that kid's eyes up or like people that are born um with any kind of physical

[00:29:12] ailment like oh man God really fucked this one up like we don't say that that's like why is

[00:29:21] okay I'm sorry I could just go on and on forever yeah so mad about this shit no and I so like you

[00:29:27] you mentioned um the getting mad about people born in the wrong bodies and stuff and there's

[00:29:32] a lot of people out there I this is this is this isn't the exact right conversation but it's one that

[00:29:37] I've had with people who don't understand trans or LGBTQ they don't even know that there are people

[00:29:46] out there that are intersex like that uh that have been born with both genitalia right you know like

[00:29:52] and that's they don't they don't understand that the flaw can happen from birth right you know

[00:29:57] and that not I shouldn't say flaw it's not a flaw no it's not a flaw but it's a perceived flaw

[00:30:03] by Christians right right and and then the doctor or the parents or both they just choose for the baby

[00:30:11] right which way it's gonna go and I've I've had I've had people who are religious stop and go

[00:30:16] huh I didn't know that you know and I'm not saying you're gonna fix the world by bringing

[00:30:21] that up but like there are a lot of people out there that just don't even know what they're

[00:30:25] talking about at all right and it's like so this kid was born with this thing what do you do right

[00:30:32] what do you do because God didn't make that mistake right God doesn't make mistakes except for you know

[00:30:38] every person who was born with some kind of handicap or ailment sure yeah you know those

[00:30:44] somehow aren't mistakes but my god you get between the legs and that is just an insult

[00:30:49] right my arms no my eyes no my ears no my nose no no those are challenges for you to overcome

[00:30:57] yes yes but no if we start talking about your crotch that is a mistake right and you cannot

[00:31:05] say God made a mistake and it's like I wasn't you were that's why it's not a point of discussion

[00:31:10] with them that's why they don't understand that that's why they don't even know that that exists

[00:31:13] right generally I'm not saying always but generally yeah they don't even know that that exists

[00:31:17] yeah well that's because they're ignorant and I do not like that no sorry that we rent way off

[00:31:25] okay locus bristling locus yeah that's how we got the horses the horses are going to be like

[00:31:30] bristling locus yes apologies let's read this chapter prepare against her the nations with the

[00:31:37] kings of the means it is governors and all its rulers all the land of his dominion

[00:31:44] and the land will tremble and sorrow oh that's interesting they're using sorrow as a verb it

[00:31:51] will tremble and sorrow not have sorrow right right that's interesting yeah for every purpose of the

[00:31:57] lord shall be performed against Babylon to make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant

[00:32:05] the mighty men of Babylon mighty men mighty morphine power rangers of Babylon have ceased

[00:32:12] fighting they have remained in their strongholds their might has failed uh oh they became like women

[00:32:21] oh my god does he really say that it literally says they became like women i hate the bible

[00:32:29] oh i hate it when men become like women oh that's the worst when men are like women

[00:32:35] i mean who wants to be like women oh there's there's your argument it says in the bible men

[00:32:40] become like women yeah so there you go i mean that's why they would see it as a mistake because who

[00:32:45] the fuck wants to be like a woman those pieces of shit um just for the record yeah that's not

[00:32:50] our point of view right i'm a woman right yes yes oh my god i hate this book they have burned

[00:32:57] her dwelling places the bars of her gate are broken one runner will run to meet another and one

[00:33:05] messenger to meet another to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on all sides

[00:33:12] because he can't see it from his castle looking out a farcoy fuck me that's a lot of smoke it's

[00:33:17] north southeast and west of me yeah the passages are blocked the reeds they have burned with fire

[00:33:23] and the men of war are terrified you're crying like little girls i mean much like when Jerusalem

[00:33:30] was surrounded by men of war that were closing in on them yeah i'm just saying right yeah like here's

[00:33:37] here's a thing guys um there is no shame in crying whether you're a man or a woman right and let us

[00:33:43] all feel the feels let us all get in touch with our emotions and be able to name them wouldn't

[00:33:49] that be a thing right if we didn't like make fun of men for crying or make fun of men for

[00:33:56] having more effeminate qualities like what is wrong with effeminate qualities i have them

[00:34:01] were you saying some shit about me do you want to say it to my fucking face like hello for thus says

[00:34:09] the lord of hosts the god of israel the daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor when it is

[00:34:15] time to thresh her i hate it when we thresh her yeah yet a little while and the time of her

[00:34:22] harvest will come oh they're gonna harvest that bench they're gonna harvest are so fucking hard

[00:34:28] they're gonna thrust and they're gonna harvest yes nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has

[00:34:36] devoured me yeah wait wait wait wait we're still in the time of nebuchadnezzar apparently because

[00:34:42] he devoured me he ate me baby okay oh well okay continue because i'm i'm curious because it

[00:34:50] was supposed to be 70 years later before you know the israelites were gonna come back right so is this

[00:34:56] saying that he is destroyed okay i'm confused do i look like a calendar no i know i know i know

[00:35:01] do i look like a bible planner keeper right nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me

[00:35:10] he has crushed me yeah he has he has made me an empty vessel okay he has swallowed me up like a

[00:35:19] monster slurp he has filled his stomach with my delicacies yeah he has spit me out turn your head

[00:35:29] now baby don't spit me out what is that song uh that is oh my god i cannot remember off the top of

[00:35:39] my head okay well somebody knows right somebody out there is yelling right on the tip of my tongue

[00:35:44] i i know i know the song i just let the violence done to me in my flesh be upon Babylon the inhabitant

[00:35:52] of Zion will say will he or is it you saying that god right i feel like maybe the people would not

[00:36:01] quite be so shittastic if you were not like drumming them up but then again you don't exist

[00:36:10] and they wrote this after so never mind they were just that shitty right my bad yeah and my blood

[00:36:18] be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea Jerusalem will say the will the other Jerusalem's gonna say

[00:36:25] they're gonna revel in all that blood okay they love it they love the blood

[00:36:30] therefore thus says the lord behold i will plead your case and take vengeance for you

[00:36:36] i will dry up her sea and make her springs dry babble he's gonna hump them dry

[00:36:42] Babylon shall become a heap a dwelling place for jackals an astonishment and a hissing

[00:36:49] hiss without an inhabitant there are like there must be literally nowhere to live in this this part

[00:36:55] of the world all because they're all fucking dried up and uh you know yeah every ple- every single

[00:37:01] city every single place at one point has been like nobody will ever live here again i'm starting

[00:37:06] to feel like this maybe all happened in like the sahara desert or something they shall roar together

[00:37:13] like lions they shall growl like lions welps in their excitement i will prepare their feasts

[00:37:20] i will make them drunk that they may rejoice and sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake oh says the

[00:37:27] lord okay he's gonna knock him out he's gonna poison them he's gonna he's gonna drug him i guess

[00:37:33] i will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter like rams with male goats like rams with male okay

[00:37:42] okay what is it like rams with male goats and i don't know do what do rams do to male goats i would

[00:37:49] imagine rams are more powerful than male goats so they probably destroy the male goats they ram

[00:37:54] them to death they ram them yeah okay and then and then so the male goats are like ow and then they

[00:38:00] die yeah i think i think that i think that tracks maybe okay i mean again i'm not an expert on goats

[00:38:07] yeah i don't know anything about animals yeah things but uh i'm i'm guessing that's where

[00:38:11] they're going with that okay so oh how she shesh is taken uh how the praise of the whole

[00:38:20] earth is seized how Babylon has become desolate among the nations the sea has come up over Babylon

[00:38:28] she is covered with the multitude of its waves her cities are a desolation a dry land and a

[00:38:35] wilderness wait so how did the seas come up i was wondering desolation and dry land it's wet and

[00:38:40] dry it's yeah it's wet and dry it's whatever fits at the given moment for a metaphor yeah

[00:38:46] so yeah it's perfect and awful yeah it's perfectly awful right a land where no one dwells

[00:38:53] through which no son of man passes well if nobody goes there then who cares what you do to it honestly

[00:38:59] go ahead i guess right i will punish bell in Babylon and i will bring out of his mouth what he has

[00:39:07] swallowed no don't make him pee that was a god right bell um i think so yeah okay and the nations

[00:39:16] shall not stream to him anymore yes the wall of Babylon shall fall my people go out of the midst

[00:39:25] of her and let everyone deliver himself from the fear singer of the lord unless your heart faints

[00:39:32] and you fear for the rumor that will be heard in the land a rumor that will come one year and after

[00:39:39] that in another year a rumor will come and violence in the land ruler against ruler that was parentheses

[00:39:46] voice okay therefore behold the days are coming that i will bring judgment on the carved images

[00:39:51] of Babylon at least that's the rumor that's what i heard her whole land shall be ashamed and all

[00:39:58] her slain shall fall in her midst but he just told them all to leave so right anybody who stays with

[00:40:05] all those rumors flying right yeah i mean they they told jay he coming so again i still feel like

[00:40:13] this stuff is propaganda like if you say my god's gonna destroy your god and all of a sudden

[00:40:19] you know if you can make people afraid enough to have some of them abandon their their

[00:40:25] strongholds right yeah that much easier for you to come in and take over so then you get to be like

[00:40:29] see told you right so if you if you write good a good enough story that's you know a fearful my god's

[00:40:35] going to destroy your god type thing yeah and maybe back in these times that worked you know like

[00:40:40] maybe that did get some people to flee and be like i don't want to be part of this fucking war i

[00:40:44] didn't pay the i didn't sign up for this shit i'm just a fucking farmer scary man yeah yeah he's

[00:40:49] gonna smite my ass right i'm out then the heavens and the earth and all that is in them shall sing

[00:40:56] joyously over babelon for the plunderers shall come to her from the north says the lord from

[00:41:03] there's from the north again yeah okay as babelon has caused the slain of israel to fall so at

[00:41:10] babelon the slain of all the earth shall fall you who have escaped the sword get away do not stand

[00:41:18] still remember the lord afar off and let jerusalem come to your mind we are ashamed because we have

[00:41:26] heard reproach shame has covered our faces shame shame right shame for strangers have come into

[00:41:34] the sanctuaries of the lord's house therefore behold the days are coming says the lord yeah

[00:41:42] that i will bring judgment on her carved images and throughout all her land the wounded shall

[00:41:47] grown oh my god this is repetitive yeah i'm coming i'm coming to get you i'm coming i'm still mad

[00:41:52] about idols too i'm getting your idols i'm getting your land i'm getting your buildings i'm getting

[00:41:56] your people right i'm coming yeah though babelon were to mount up to heaven and though she were

[00:42:03] to fortify the height of her strength yet from me plunderers would come to her says the lord

[00:42:09] so basically saying this city can't climb high enough right away from the shit i'm sending

[00:42:15] the sound of a cry comes from babelon and great destruction from the land of the chaldeans

[00:42:22] because the lord is plundering babelon and silencing her loud voice though her waves roar

[00:42:28] like great waters and the noise of their voice is uttered because the plunderer comes against her

[00:42:36] against babelon and her mighty men are taken you know this reminds me of when i was reading

[00:42:44] beowulf oh yeah yeah like the behold and her mighty men are taken like it just it's like a long

[00:42:52] epic right and i expect this long chapter about i'm coming i'm coming to get you the men they're

[00:42:58] strong they're strong men the strong men are strong and they're gonna die and i'm coming yeah

[00:43:04] like that kind of repetitive chapter i would expect in a beowulf sure not in chapter 51 of

[00:43:13] Jeremiah that it hasn't been like up until now right so this is weird yeah every one of the bows

[00:43:21] is broken for the lord is the god of recompense he will surely repay just to be clear you're

[00:43:28] saying that it's repetitive like over and over within the same yeah you know sections not even

[00:43:34] as opposed to like because i mean it's the messaging is something that's been repetitive throughout the

[00:43:39] right old testament but the way it's repetitive the way this chapter is repetitive in itself right

[00:43:45] i just wanted to clarify sorry yeah no you're fine and i will make oh my god it's still going

[00:43:51] i will make drunk her princes and wise men her governors her deputies and her mighty men

[00:43:59] and her mighty morphen power rangers and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep and not awake says the

[00:44:07] king whose name is the lord of hosts so again with the poison or whatever yeah thus says the lord of

[00:44:14] hosts the broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken remember that time i already said that

[00:44:20] still mean it right and her high gates shall be burned with fire fire you got it the people will

[00:44:28] labor in vain and the nations because of the fire and they shall be very weary okay yeah i'm always

[00:44:37] weary when people trying to kill my ass right i don't know that i would be i mean why would you be

[00:44:42] laboring when there's fire unless you're laboring to put out the fire that's what i think they

[00:44:46] okay okay but that would be hard to do when you're in a place where there's no water except for that

[00:44:51] there's lots of water so i mean i'm not sure which one of this dry and wet and dry and apparently

[00:44:56] they're probably not a lot of water there since they're struggling to put out the fire right

[00:45:02] so and it's in the middle of right now yeah no water the word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded

[00:45:09] saraya the son of naraya the son of messiah when he went with zedekiah the king of Judah

[00:45:15] to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign this should be a separate chapter oh yeah sorry

[00:45:21] and saraya was the quarter master so Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that would come upon

[00:45:27] Babylon all these words that are written against Babylon and Jeremiah said to saraya

[00:45:32] when you arrive in Babylon and see it and read all these words then you shall say oh lord

[00:45:38] you have spoken against this place to cut it off so that none shall remain in it neither man

[00:45:43] nor beast but it shall be desolate forever now it shall be when you have finished reading this book

[00:45:49] that you shall tie a stone to it and throw it out into the euphrates then you shall say

[00:45:55] thus Babylon shall sink and not rise from the catastrophe that i will bring upon her

[00:46:00] and they shall be weary thus far are the words of Jeremiah this sounds like he's so like okay

[00:46:08] zedekiah was taken to Babylon right remember like he was one of the wasn't even one of the

[00:46:12] ones that was taken as a captive or whatever yes and then they put his eyes out right after they

[00:46:17] killed his kids so apparently um Jeremiah sent him with these words to read i have no idea okay well

[00:46:25] i don't mean but no saraya oh saraya Jeremiah said that shit to saraya okay so i'm assuming

[00:46:32] that this is saraya was one of the captives that got taken to Babylon sure but remember

[00:46:36] how he was communicating with them and whatever what have you yeah this whole thing sounds like a

[00:46:41] spell yeah does it not it does like that you're gonna read the words out loud and then you're

[00:46:46] going to take a stone and wrap it around the words and throw it into the bottom of the euphrates

[00:46:50] yeah it sounds like a fucking curse slash spell it's a magic spell there's goddamn spells in the

[00:46:57] bible this is a magic spell that's a magic spell it's a curse the fuck is this shit this is a curse

[00:47:03] oh and they had to rip that's why it's so weirdly written and repetitive you are 100

[00:47:08] percent right and i hate myself for not realizing it i was so close when i was like this chapter is

[00:47:14] weird right it keeps it's saying shit that it's not normal yeah that's why it was it's a curse

[00:47:22] yeah they were writing down a curse for Jeremiah Jeremiah was writing down this curse for this

[00:47:27] kid saraya to go take up there and to throw into the river there are literal magic spells in

[00:47:32] the fucking bible yeah this is ridiculous well but now that i have this i have a list of people

[00:47:38] that i need to go copy this and i wonder if it has to be the euphrates or can i throw it in the

[00:47:44] Ohio river what do you think i i think i think that it's not gonna work i'm not asking for whole

[00:47:52] cities to go down right yeah just like certain individuals also i mean if we're counting on

[00:47:57] god to do this for us i even if god were real i don't think we'd be in his best you know um

[00:48:02] grace uh for having this happen so well maybe you just have to believe it real hard they're doing

[00:48:09] a magic spell i don't think that i think that they're not talking about the same god that they

[00:48:15] were talking about earlier i mean they are invoking god in the spell yeah it's just this feels more

[00:48:21] like um cobblest is there was a cow cabalists yeah as opposed to like yeah you know the other

[00:48:28] shit we've been reading so like this is very um spellish yeah i don't know what else to say like

[00:48:35] i like i want i want to rewrite this though and fill in the blank was like the names of certain

[00:48:41] people and then like sing it and like record it and then you know throw it in the Ohio river

[00:48:50] and then you know a year from then go back and be like so here's what happened why don't we

[00:48:56] i mean the great miami is closer we should just throw in the great miami is the well i was thinking

[00:49:01] that the Ohio river isn't bigger than the great miami yeah but that it's further drive you know

[00:49:05] we just the great miami is you know i well down the street you know i know it's just i was thinking

[00:49:10] like because it's the name of the state that it would have more weight and bearing you think

[00:49:14] yeah that this is the name of this the name of the the river matters well okay they were going

[00:49:20] with the euphrates that's a big and true they didn't go with no local stream you're right

[00:49:24] you're right i mean if that's the case we should go to the mississippi i was gonna say we honestly

[00:49:29] we should really go to the mississippi for this yeah that would make it work better sure okay no

[00:49:34] but it'd be fun though it'd be fun wrap a stone with it that should be like our first like uh

[00:49:42] our first actual event we should like do like a wrap a stone you know oh we should do spells

[00:49:48] to um to you know get rid of all the influence of of religious nutbags yeah and we should all wrap a

[00:49:56] stone around our scrolls that we write that's that's the things that we want to happen yeah and then

[00:50:01] we should all go to the mississippi river and just you know chuck it chant some things and

[00:50:05] then we'll just chuck them in the bottom of the river yeah i think that's a great event please

[00:50:09] don't let trump win again right chuck it but we got it we gotta like seeing all this stuff i

[00:50:18] that's the that's the best way right everybody knows that magic spells only work if you see them

[00:50:23] is that okay and the fact that they didn't include those instructions in this right tell me that

[00:50:27] you're a little disappointed well i think that they they already knew it oh it was so common

[00:50:32] okay that they didn't have to say it they just knew it i see okay i'm very excited about this plan

[00:50:38] i'm really excited to plan our first stone scroll event yeah that's what i'm saying i think

[00:50:42] that's the thing that we should do i'm very excited about this plan yeah yeah i agree okay um you put

[00:50:48] that together i think we need to put it down as an idea for later on yeah um and then something

[00:50:55] that we'll plan i wonder if we should get like special stones or special scrolls like it feels like
