Why Does the Lord Speak to Certain People? Chris Reed Explains
"The first question is, why do you think the lord speaks to certain people like you to tell us, here's what's coming in the future? I think a lot of people would say, you know what, I don't get that. Maybe it's true, but why would God speak to someone like Chris Reed to tell everybody that that's going to happen and that's going to happen? What would be the what would be the point of that? So maybe before we get into the predictions themselves, the prophecies I should say, talk a little bit about that because that to me is a big question for a lot of people. Yeah, well, I think one of the answers to that is an Amos chapter three. It says purely the lord will do nothing in the earth, except he reveal his secrets to his servants, the prophets. So I think that, you know, all of creation came into existence by spoken word. And it was the spirit of God. God is spirit. God spoke and when spirit speaks, it caused matter to come together. It caused, you know, creation to form. And so I think the principle is still true that when God's spirit speaks, things happen, you know, things are created and things are released into the atmosphere that can bring about his will or at least reveal what will happen if we don't praise. I think prophecy can be twofold. It can foretell the future, but can also tell us how to pray just for instance example agabus prophesied in the New Testament after the cross of a worldwide famine. And the disciples responded with disaster relief

"That's all. Evil and partisan. Amos Amos hosting. Consume height. Amos hostein Biden's energy adviser on CNBC today had tip right scoop. Is it anus? Anus, Amos hoxton, excuse me. Well, if the shoe fits, so to speak, Amos has seen, we're going to put it in. We're phasing out drilling, you know. Again, we do, but they keep lying about it, but not Amos costume. Biden's energy adviser. And by the way, how hard is it to be an energy adviser? Hey, let's eliminate energy independence and fossil fuels. Wow, what an expert. That guy's a mastermind. Cut four. He's asked questions by Joe kernan is actually quite good on MS excuse me on CNBC. Cut four go. It was ten days ago, the president again said. President Biden, maybe you try to talk him out of it. I don't know. I don't know what you do when he says it. But when he says we're going to end drilling domestically, that causes the major oil producers to not want to invest long-term. Can you give me, you say we like them? We want them to produce. Give me a number on how long. Do you want them to do it for 5 more years for ten more years? How long will we need these major oil producers to keep drilling? What does he mean? We're going to end grilling when? Well, eventually we are going to be phasing out the use of this. So stop. You're going to phase it out. So if you run a multi-billion dollar corporation whose job it is, whose purpose exists, whose mission statement and shareholders and everybody to drill oil.. What are you going to do, mister producer? Are you going to invest billions more? You're going to spend more on refinery, refining? No, you're going to spend more on developing? No. You're going to stop. You're going to do something else. That's your fiduciary duty. You have been told by the federal government. By no less than the putative president of the United States, and the pukes with whom he surrounds himself. That we're going to end your business. You don't say, oh, great. Let's spend more. It doesn't work that way. What they're trying to do is muscle their way through politically. Use propaganda and flat out lies to try and blame other people for what they're doing. And they're going to destroy our prosperity because they have no idea what they're doing. Go ahead. Because you're not going to want to invest any money in doing this if it's two or three years from now. Or even 5 years, almost. So I don't think we've talked about two or three years. We're talking about a longer than that. What time are longer than that? Who cares? They're not going to do it. They're not going to do it. Why should they? Cut 5, go. It just doesn't seem like you're quite the president really, all we hear about is profiteering and windfall profits taxes, and I'm going to end drilling. And I don't know what I would do if I were one of the I think the concept of windfall profit tax was the president said if there is not increased production, if we don't see prices coming down and we see record profits, we're going to have to do something about it. He didn't say that he was going to do it. He said. You blame it on Putin when it goes up, but then you say, well, they can lower it at any time. So that doesn't really make sense. Well, we're saying that we can increase production. SPR. Go ahead. I don't know if I'd invest money in trying to increase production if you're going to end drilling if you keep saying that. Tell them to stop saying that. You get to see them from time to time. I mean, it seems like he only listens to one side of the argument, the way out there side. Exactly right. Now he does it in a soft tone conversational tone, but he exposes the idiocy of this. And hopefully for the people who watch it, he's exposing why you're going to have shortages, why prices are going up and why the prosperity of the nation is going to plummet. And you know, it's not so easy to turn this around. Should we win the presidency in Congress next time? You're talking about massive industrial infrastructure. You're not talking about flipping hamburgers here. So just because you switch a policy, it doesn't make it easy. It's much easier to tear things down. It's much easier to stop things. It's much easier to prevent things than the rebuild them or build them up. It takes no intelligence to destroy things. It takes a lot of intelligence to build things. And so the Democrat party and their marxists, they're into destroying things, not building things. And so if a next administration, God willing, is a Republican conservative administration. With both houses of Congress without McConnell running the Senate and they reverse course and they're able to reverse course, it's going to take years to fix what these guys have done. Years. A little bit more Joe kernan host at CNBC today. With this guy, had sex go. He doesn't invite the Elon Musk when he President Biden when he's talking about EVs. He doesn't invite the major oil companies domestically to come to The White House to talk about increasing production. We go to Venezuela, these are the things that critics would say, don't make any sense. Joe, let's put some water in that. The Chevron licensed in Venezuela. Was an incentive really to kickstart the process, the political process at Mexico City, which is a huge breakthrough that we were able to achieve for the talks between the regime and the opposition, and that happened on. So this was really a, you know, a, an effort. This was the carrot. To get the mass murdering communist dictator, who has stolen $40 billion from his own people, to start to talk to the opposition, he's imprisoned the opposition, and actually millions of people have fled Venezuela. So that's what it is?

"Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical dot net. Amos chapter 7 versus four through 6. This is what the lord God showed me, behold, the lord God was calling for a judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and was eating up the land. Then I said, O lord God please cease. How can Jacob stand? He is so small, the lord relented, concerning this. This also shall not be, said the lord God. Did you catch that God just gave Amos a picture of judgment coming by fire upon his people, and aim is just stood in the gap and said, oh, lord God, please cease and verse 6 and Amos chapter 7 said the lord relented and said this shall not be the lord withheld the judgment, his people deserved in that moment because Amos interceded in that moment. What a picture of the power of prayer, the potential of prayer, the opportunity you and I have, that God has invited us into to stand in the gap on behalf of others and to ask for his help and his provision and his Salvation and his deliverance. Oh, we must be faithful to pray for others to intercede for people in need. I would just encourage you as soon as this podcast is over. Just spend time inner seat and think about people in need.

"Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical dot net. Amos chapter 5 versus 23 and 24. Take away from me, the noise of your songs, to the melody of your harps. I will not listen, but let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever flowing stream. Wow, what a picture. What imagery there in? Well, both verses versus 23 and 24 God is speaking to his people through the prophet Amos here, saying take away from me, the noise of your songs to the melody of your harps. I will not listen. Picture that picture being in a church gathering on Sunday and singing songs and playing instruments and God saying, take away the noise of your songs. I don't want to hear your instruments. What would lead God to say this in the picture here in Amos 5 is a picture of a people who were carrying on religious, ritual, offering religious observances, songs, the music of instruments while ignoring injustice and living in unrighteousness. So God says your songs, your instruments are not pleasing, glorifying, honoring to me. Justice brings honor to me, righteousness brings honor to me and not a little bit of justice here or there, or a little bit of righteousness here or there, but let justice roll down like waters versus 24 says and righteousness like an ever flowing stream. Don't you want these waters and this stream to flow from your life? Let justice roll down from your life, doing that which is right and good and just for others, particularly those in need, according to God's word and reflection of God's character, let righteousness that which is pure and holy and good and honoring to God and honoring to others. Let righteousness like that be in ever flowing stream. God we pray for this and our lives and our churches, gotta be pray that we would be marked by ever flowing righteousness and justice rolling down from our lives and our lips from our works like waters. God, we pray that you would keep us from seeing our songs and lifting our hands and worship and carrying on religious observances while ignoring injustice in the world. God we pray that you would help us to do justice and to love mercy and to live in righteousness. Gotta replay that particularly as we see people in need around us, God make us a people who are doing justice extravagantly, not just a little bit here and there, but in an overflowing way and God we pray that righteousness would be like an ever flowing stream in our lives. We pray specifically today for a loga people of Tanzania, small people group of 60, 2000 Muslims, a very reserved people, slow to receive outsiders who are farmers and often struggle with lack of water, God help us to do justice for the Allah people. We pray for justice for them for provision of clean water for their needs, and living water in the gospel for their souls, God we pray that they would be reached by the gospel, and we pray that that kind of gospel reaching needs meeting justice and righteousness would flow from our lives and our churches until all the nations know you, Jesus, the just ruler of all, and they are closed in your righteousness by faith in you. God help us to worship you truly in a way that is pleasing and honoring to you with our songs, our instruments and our lives in Jesus name we pray according to your word and Amos 5, 23 and 24, amen..

"Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical dot net. Amos chapter four versus one and two. Here this word, you cows of bachan, who are on the mountain of samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to your husband's bring that we may drink, the lord God has sworn by his holiness, the behold, the days are coming upon you, and they shall take you away with hooks, even the last of you with fish hooks, wow, these verses are filled with potent imagery and just kind of cut to the chase, the picture here is God is describing specifically the wealthy women of Israel, who had far more than what they needed, and in a sense could ever want. They had all this world could offer, and they were just soaking it up. But even that wasn't enough, they wanted more. They say to their husbands, bring more that we may drink. Meanwhile, they are oppressing the poor and crushing the needy. You see the picture, a people who had so much stuff who were enjoying all the things this world has to offer while turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to the poor and the needy around them. Actually, not even just turning a blind eye and deaf ear to them, but living in such a way that made life worse for the poor and the needy oppressing the poor and crushing the needy. And as I read that, I just thank God help us. God help every one of us and I put myself in front of the line here with all of the things we have in this world to use those things to help the poor to lift up the needy to do justice love mercy as we walk humbly with God in light of my chapter 6 God to help us not to oppress the poor. God help us, not to crush the needy, God help us not to be a people who have so much in this world and we just want more and we just want more and we want more God free us from the love of money, the pursuit of possessions and God use our lives and all the grace you give us the possessions you give us the resources you give us for the good of the poor for the good of those in need, God we pray that you would help us to do first Timothy chapter 6 to be generous and ready to share and invest our lives and what matters forever and people who are in need, physical needs, spiritual needs, God help us, not to do what your people were doing and Amos chapter four. God help us to make our lives count for the spread of your love in a world of urgent physical and spiritual need. We pray for the Coulomb people of Tajikistan who have little to no access to the gospel among almost a million people, 866,000 of them. God, we pray that you would help us to use our resources to get the gospel to the Colombian people. Intercede for them. But the spread of your grace and your mercy among them. Oh God, keep us from sitting back and just soaking in and getting more in this world. God help us to be generous with your grace and to work on behalf of poor and the needy, physically, spiritually, around us and around the world. And in this way, to bring great glory to your name as the one who defends the poor and lifts up the needy. And Jesus name we pray according to Amos chapter four, amen..

"As an example of their complete lack of mercy for those that are in need. And the lord says, and for 7, I will never forget any of their works. And then at the end of close to the end of that chapter, he says in first ten, I will turn your feast into mourning and your songs and a limitation, and then in verse 11, I will send a famine into the land, not a famine of bread or a thirst of water but to hear it, but of hearing the words of the lord. That lack of mercy is extremely problematic for people that profess to follow a loving and generous and liberal and tender God. However, of course, there is also a solution in a promise for relief here. I love the prophecy at the end of Amos chapter 9 where the lord says that the days shall come. This is verse 13 where the ploughman shall overtake the Reaper. And the treader of grapes him that soth seed, and the mountains shall drop sweet wine and all the hills shall melt. The imagery here is specific and beautiful. The ploughman overtaking the Reaper usually when you reap a field, you have to let it sit fallow. For a year or two before it can be re plowed. And the image here is the ground will be so abundant. The fruit will be so rich that the ploughmen will come right behind the Reaper and plow. That's how generous God is, is he'll make things that abundant. The mountains shall drop wine in the hills shall melt. And I, this is verse 14, will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel and they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards and drink the wine mirror. They shall also make gardens and eat the fruit thereof and I will plant them upon their land and they shall no more be pulled out of their land which I have given them sayeth the lord by God. This is, of course, the description of the lord's efforts. We talked about that last episode of what he's doing and how generous and loving he is. But then you get to obadiah, he calls out a similar problem. This is now 200 years later, and he's talking to edom or Esau, the descendants of Esau, who were there when Israel and Judah were being captured. And he accuses them in verse ten for violence against thy brother Jacob shall come shall cover thee and thou shalt be cut off forever. In the day thou stood us on the other side in the day that strangers carried away captive his, meaning Jacob's forces. And then at the end of the verse, you were as one of them. You should not have looked on in the day thy brother became a stranger, neither should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah. So there again, as I've call out of un mercy or an unmerciful action,

"That falls in also with these prophets from the scriptures and that us taking time of the problems that we have of not only maybe listening to our prophets, these latter day prophets that we have today, but also taking the time and attention to sit and sit and listen and understand profits of old, and also our own personal revelation of are we taking that time to really understand and know God personally. Which I think is what Amos means then in the kind of famous verse in chapter three where he says surely the lord God will do nothing but he reveals his secret unto his servants the prophets. I remember using that as a missionary, maybe you do too, and I don't know if I understood exactly what it meant. And I don't know if I fully understand what it means now, what the secrets of God are that are revealed through profits. I think as a missionary, I thought, you know, profits will tell us about heaven or prophets will tell us about temples, things that seem unknown or mysterious or secretive, which certainly they can do that or have done that. But I've wondered more recently if the role of a prophet is less about revealing some mysterious thing, and more about helping us understand the true character and nature of God. I love at the beginning of chapter three when Amos asks can two walk together except they be agreed. And in that context, what a prophet is doing is helping us to see the lord's perspective, his point of view, his character as nature. So that we can align ourselves with him so that we can walk together with the lord. That's the role of a prophet. Well, I totally agree with that and as we learn from the prophets about who God is and how he worked with his people through history we come to know who he is and how he works with us today. Well, I really like the idea of prophets keeping us in line. I believe so much how important it is for us to find our own speaking of missions, you know, the little triangle of revelation of prophets having their revelation that they give to us from God and the, but we have our own personal revelation. And I'm given a really bad description of it, but you probably know what I'm talking about because in the air with your hands. I do really good hand gestures. But you've probably at least known what I've talked about in some lessons somewhere. And I like this reminder that we get an Amos chapter four this almost like this repeated reminder from prophets, which we need because we need to know God. This is a problem that we have today just like they did. The reminder, chapter four verse 6, you did not return to me. And this is repeated over and over again verse 8, yet you did not return to me. This is the lord's declaration. Again in 9, yet you did not return to me. So they're reminding us you still didn't come back. You didn't know how to turn to me. And then he changes his tone as towards the end of chapter four verse 12. Israel prepared to meet your God. And in chapter 5 seek me and live seek the lord and live.

"And I feel like within just the past few weeks, we've brought this up a couple times of these being the two basic commandments, something that I think are the two basic commandments that Jesus gave because we still need to remember them hundreds and in this case thousands of years later. That we don't know who God is. Is that first problem? And I think we can see that today where we can really get caught up in maybe even in our own church caught up in the meetings and the rules and the. Meetings. The activities, all the things that are important, but maybe they can get in the way of why we're really there and what we're really doing. And that other the second problem brought up was that we don't know other people. And I think that's another one that can definitely get in the way as we think of the activities and the meetings and very well meaning often, but we forget that the individual is really the most important. So there's a lot of things relevant for us because I think today we can empathize with those problems because we've all experienced those same things. So I want to look at that first problem then this is Amos chapter two verse ten through 12. He says, speaking on behalf of the lord, also, I brought you up from the land of Egypt and led you 40 years through the wilderness to possess the land of the amorite. And I raised up of your son's prophets. And of your young man nazarites. Is it not even thus so you children of Israel said the lord, but you gave the nazarites wine to drink, which side note nazarites aren't supposed to do. They were the people that didn't cut their hair, didn't drink wine. And commanded the prophets saying prophesy not. So this is the first problem that Amos is going to point out that you have. And he's not unique in this. This is Isaiah and Jeremiah and Ezekiel and Jose, all of them with the same message, which is the lord has given profits and is continuing to give profits and yet you won't listen to the profits. And because you're not listening to the profits, you're growing further and further away from understanding who God is and what it is that he's doing. And unfortunately, a lot of these prophetic call outs fall on death ears, contemporary deaf ears later on in Israel's history, they'll look back and they'll see the wisdom in these prophets, but by then it's too late they're already a lost nation in a lost kingdom and they missed the chance to obey the lord and follow his prophets in the moment that they needed it most. So that's the first kind of problem that Amos sees.

"And not sacrifice. Now the reason I think that keys us into Amos is because Jose and Amos are contemporaries, they're preaching at the same time and they're looking at the same thing. The potential destruction of the northern Kingdom of Israel. And the reasons behind that destruction. So I want to read if I can borrow from last week just a little bit that verse and then read the verses and Amos that connect to it. So this is Hosea chapter 6 versus fourth or 6th. OE from what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do into thee? For your goodness is as a morning cloud and as the early do it goeth away. Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets I have slain them by the words of my mouth and my judgments are as the light that goeth forth. And then this is the verse that Jesus quotes. For I desired mercy. And not sacrifice. And the knowledge of God, more than burnt offerings. What this means essentially is that Israel has completely missed the point that the lord has been trying to get across to them for thousands of years. He invited them to command them to sacrifice so that they would learn to give up things that meant something to them and be more merciful and generous to others. They misunderstood it and got overly focused on the sacrifice. He commanded them to offer burnt offerings as a similitude of the offering of the son of God to help them better understand who God is. They oversimplified and just saw the burn offerings. And so his message to them is you missed it. Problem number one, you missed the call to be merciful and loving to others. Two, you missed the commandment to see me the lord in all things that you do. And because of that, you're in the problems that you are. Amos gives the almost the exact same description of what's happening. And Amos chapter one and two, he lists these different cities and gives them each a specific critique of what's going on. And to some of them, they critique he gives sounds really similar to Jose's. For example, chapter or verse 9 in verse chapter one, to tyrus, he says, you remembered not the brotherly covenant. And to eat them in verse 11, eat them are the descendants of Esau, so this is they should be the family of Abraham, they should be brothers at least to the Israelites. He says to them, you did cast off all pity and you kept wrath forever. And then lest Israel think it's just them, Amos turns his eye on Judah and Israel and in verse four in chapter two, he tells Israel. You despised the law of the lord, so there's that first problem you've misunderstood. You don't understand God. And then to Israel problem number two, you sold the righteous for silver in verse 6 and the poor for a pair of shoes. So what we want to look at in this episode is those two problems. Number one, that they misunderstood or stop looking for God, and number two, that they stopped or missed the commandment to be merciful and kind to others. Well, I think this is really relevant for us today.

"Hey there, welcome to this week's episode of the scripture study project. We are your host sack and Krista and we already said that in the intro because I forgot that we have a prerecorded thing. So we don't say that anymore because Zach made us get a cool intro. So I'll start over and just say that this week we are studying in Amos and obadiah and kind of a concise study just a few chapters and because even come follow me actually let us read all of the chapters. You know how sometimes it gives you gives us only selections. But we're excited to study with you this week and to get going. Yeah. We were talking I was relating a story to you before that I'll repeat here, but we were talking in one of my institute classes recently about how we treat people who feel marginalized for whatever reason. And I want to start with something we studied in class that I think has everything to do with what Amos is talking about. And also what obadiah is kind of seeing. These two prophets are separated by almost 200 years, most scholars believe Amos was pre exiled. So he's in the 8th century BC before Syria conquers Israel. And obadiah would then be at the end of the exile. So both Israel and Judah have been conquered, but they see the same thing. One a prophecy of what's coming and one a reflection on what has happened and then a prophecy of a solution that might come to it. But I want to actually start in Matthew chapter 9. of Matthew, the apostle. This is his narrative, the book of Matthew, the gospel of Matthew. And he's telling the story of how he was called, and it's pretty sparse, but I want to read it.
Live Behind The Veil
A highlight from Ears To Hear Are Created
"Welcome to live behind the veil and atmosphere where men and women of God speak his word to this age and bring his kingdom to this earth. Do you have ears to hear and eyes to see what God is doing in this hour? Let us join our host and the family's conversation as the Holy Spirit is unfolding. The word behind the veil hello, everyone. I'm Ron your host, and on this podcast, we'll be talking about hearing and speaking the word of God. Those who have a drive to bring God's kingdom to the earth. Must first have ears created in them to hear his word before they can speak a word from God. Let's listen in to the teaching of the Holy Spirit, and believed to have created within us ears to hear his word. What I understand of the early church is they did not expound scriptures, they believed and spoke by faith a word from God that changed people's hearts, framed in age, they had to listen to an apostolic word, had to listen to the prophet's speak, and then believe in the impartation of that and open their mouths and speak a word from God. Think about these people, what they were receiving had to come from a living epistle. Speaking the truth and love, that's the true thing of whether it's the word of the lord or not, is whether it's the truth, in love, and that authority of the lord coming through, and they could feel that. I'm sure they could tell the difference between somebody who was narrating just expose saying as opposed to somebody who was really sharing their heart with one another. Thing with Peter is so important because in X two he stood up with the 11, remember, and he started talking about Joel. He quoted from Joel too in the fact that he knew what the scripture said, but he also changed it slightly and kind of updated it for how it applied to their day. And that's the thing about what we call an apostolic word is it brings a live the scriptures for today. And that's what the true life is. I mean, you can read the word without the life without the truth in your heart, and it just becomes something you study. Just like any literature, but you have to have the life in your heart to get it imparted to you and to others while we're speaking about living epistles tonight, or speaking about the difference between what I would consider, I'm not putting down a scholar because there's nothing wrong with studying the word. And being a scholar of the word, but the spirit behind it without the relationship of Christ behind it without the relationship to the body of Christ and the members of the body, it's worthless. It's just a bunch of head knowledge and a pumping up of ego, like Paul, Paul is a perfect example, pharisee of the pharisees, but yet after he had his meeting with the lord. It changed his whole spirit. It changed his whole drive, his whole attitude, his heart, the relationship, that's where things are sparked. That's where things are alive. On that day of Pentecost, one word, save 3000 people. Today it takes 3000 words to save one. The word of God never grows old. Because it's always alive. Exactly, it should always be alive, no matter whose speaking it, they spoke a living word to one another. It was something that was alive. They shared an experience with Christ. Alan, were they better people than us? No, God, no. They had to be special. People because they were probably worse off than we are. They might have been more honest than the American person. Well, there's a truth right there. The point I'm making is we've been talking about the early church and then we're talking about today back and forth and we're talking about Christ. This is probably a controversial. I don't think Christ wanted to be put on a pedestal. Right. I think Christ wanted to be an example to people of how you can walk with God and how you can speak his word and have a relationship with the father to me without that, it's just religion, Christ is the first born of many brethren, and he is the example the pattern son that God sent to the earth to provide a way to be created into those people that God can use in the earth. I want to give a really good example and it's back in Ezekiel 37, but I want to emphasize verse four in chapter 37 again he said to me, prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the lord. Now, in Amos again, it talks about there is a famine for hearing the word. What did Jesus do when he was on earth? He spoke what he heard the father speaking. That's what Ezekiel did here. That's what he lied to do. That's what he likes it did. They are not special, even Elijah himself says, you know, basically I put my pants on one leg at a time just like you do. There are people just like we are. What we really should be hearing from this is that the father is looking for people to hear the words, so we speak that word, lord, loose ears to hear. Lord loose the people in America to hear the word of the lord. Loose the people in Africa, South America, the 7 continents. My God, loose the hearing of the word. Right. And loose those who have a prophetic word from God who are like Elijah, I stand in the presence of the lord, and by my word, it's not going to rain for three and a half years, right? That's what Elijah said. Alan, your speaking something, there's a key before you can speak a word from God. You have to have ears to hear a word from God. And if you think about think about it, what Christ said every time you spoke after as he would say, those who have ears to hear, yes, let them hear a word from God. There are a lot of people out there that are preaching. A lot of people out there that are quote speaking a word from God, and it's not a word from God, God has to create ears to hear. Our living word from God, every one of us sitting here didn't start out speaking the word of God. We sat under mentors and they were speaking a word from God, and it created the capacity within us to hear a word from God, exactly. Which then enabled us to begin to speak the word from God. Lord loose people to hear. Loose the hearing of your word father loose the hearing, and the understanding loose the hearts to understand what you're saying. Even the disciples, what did you say? They didn't get it either until after the day of Pentecost. Today there are so many men and women of God out there that are in churches and they're anointed men and women of God, and their speaking and anointed word. So here's two people sitting in the congregation. One person has ears, and when that word spoken, it hits them, it changes them. They walk in it. The other person, it goes right over their head. Yep. Same place, two different people. Well, on this podcast, we found out that having ears to hear God's word is crucial if we are those who are called to speak his word and bring his kingdom to this earth. Experiencing the impartation of God's word through his family is life. As this time in his presence blessed you, then please subscribe to our podcast at live behind the veil dot com.

Not teaching me the maneuvering of spiky slivers with my tongue. How to place the needles next to my plate, extract white meat clean. Ever since she appeals and holds skeletons above our meal, fossils before me. Still I am bad at pulling bone from fish, cutting skin from pears, which means I'll never get married.

"Creepy about trophy rooms. You know what. I'm talking about like that creepy. Look for to buy a house out your man. There was like more than a few houses that had like a really prominent trophy display. What the fuck do your building all duty yourself. They'll like your gas after what he wanted to someone's trophies like what's the healthy way to season what were you supposed to say. Wow you got a lot of trophies. I mean it it also reminds me unfortunately of like really disappointing sex because you know when entering that experienced that like in theory this could be one of the greatest feelings that the universe has to offer. And like you don't know why your brain is disassociating or not present enough but there's nothing you can do about it. There is nothing you can do. It can be someone that you're genuinely wildly attracted to but there's no words that come to mind nothing that can you explain the fact that you're just not in the zone at the moment. There's just nothing and all you know as that. This great thing is being squandered and insulted and disgrace experiences. Not going to happen is escaping you. You know yeah so. I think that things like themis or whatever anything like that you know whether people talk about you know meeting their heroes or whatever but just like the big moment the big guitar solo. That is one of the saddest things. Is that when you realize that that in itself ended up not being so great you know and that hurts the most because you have the hollywood theme in your head you have the whole story that mythology and your head so being able to throw away those connotations and those heights and those great experiences it makes perfect sense to me. Because you're just comparing things to that all the time you're young i mean if you're having sex you're comparing to the last time you did or or the better time or whatever you know it's like there's a demand insects in a in a fascinating way to be president.

It's not something i practice or anything. I'm usually thinking about something. You know something philosophical or something else you know and so they wanted to talk to me about something like that but but in that moment i'm sitting there with these human beings and something inside me knows. This is actually the performance. This new talking to them now. You know what i mean. It's not like it's not like they're they're talking about the show earlier but that's gone. I mean that's just so long ago and like now. I have a chance to influence. Maybe the way this person thinks. Because maybe i can hear in his voice that he's like so focused on this or that in that or this and it's like no we're here right now and like i'll get really animated like not necessarily like you're saying like really excited about what someone saying just to meet them halfway but like i'll just i'll just start talking shit and i was like you know if i've had a couple drinks i will talk shit and i guess later. They posted that they had like dropped. Our bases accidentally on the instagram. Like when they were kidding in it's really funny. They were super frigging sweet. I really liked these kids. and they They had dad posted that i was surprisingly testy. Oh jesus but no no no in a cool way. Though i the way i read it was fuck. Yeah like they encountered a punk. You know what i mean like. They they went to talk to someone and say you know. I really liked this drumming performance on this date or whatever and then what they got him. Return was like someone in real time that wanted to really be present with them and talk some shit and like dude. If i have people would have done that with me. When i was like looking up to it to him i would be so fucking stoked that they were like alive and like real and mutual and like president. And like it's like it's like you treat a child like like that you know like they're completely one hundred percent interesting in like an invaluable and i think that really like that empowers them. Do you know what. I mean man. Listen i think it's an just shows how cool you are. Because i like i i you know i just. I think there's something so lame about essentially doing a yelp about i wouldn't do a thing like okay like if i have like if i'm with one like let's say you and i are hanging out one night and then the next day you looking like dunkin. Why did you tweet testy last night. I'm like You know. I'm fan of you. I just thought. I'd just let the whole world know that you're testy last night because i'm a fan. You know what. I mean to so numbers. I think that i think your take on. It's cool but but the other thing. I love it. You're not falling for something. i think. A lot of people fall for. And i i. It's it's so are not too which is like. There's there's an implicit invitation to really put on a show. You know what i mean like. Try to like put out something that you're not at all and because you're like i don't wanna disappoint is this person like this person is imbued me with some kind of amazing thing and i of i would love to be that you know but i'm just not so if i but but it but it's but i could try to be that to this person you know and then you moment you do that you might as well just fuck and move to become a branch davidian. You know what. I mean start talking about opening seals and shit. I'm saying is cool that you like this. Had someone come up to me a while ago. Like at a grocery store and i was ironically wearing a fucking alumina johnny ring. The i found at thrift store and the guy recognized me and he looks at the ring. Any points assured it's got like a pentagram on and he's like you know i d magic to and i'm like no you don't this doesn't mean i'm realizing i i gotta sit here and explain it as person that like this ring. Look so dumb to me. And i bought it aaron and i were going to some place to address code and i wanted to make fun of it by having an alumina ring on and some pathetic attempt to fight the power in. But you know what i mean like i had to like i had to like it was awful wrestling match where i was essentially having to tell this person like i look. I'm just i'm just i'm not. I'm at the grocery store. I'm getting some coffee. I've got a kid i'm not. i don't. i'm not in the aluminum johnny. This secrets the euro pig. I have put. I want to be the person who has the secrets you know. That'd be fucking cool. Like i wish i had a magic bag reach. And but so it's kind of like to me that like if you managed to maintain some some honesty authenticity with someone who would really love it if you were there fantasy of you and then they have the audacity to go bitch about that. You know what i mean. That's really lame. Yeah i think we have a couple things going for us. But i mean as always mentioned i think i think that we failed this one word but but failed for so long or did what we did for so long. That like. it's hard for me to believe anybody really cares anyway. I don't think you've failed. I don't think i failed what he well. I'm saying it from the perspective of like the normal good capitalist out there like i was outside of the marketplace. You know what i mean. So what what i mean is that i did what i did for me for so long that one day i may have told you the story i was like in a cheese shop in a bushwick brooklyn and i'm got my headphones on listening to new like song. I'm trying to like review. Some of the mixing mistakes. I've made and i'm looking at the cheese. It's like really expensive and it's this place called foster sundry it's i should really good and i like look to my right and there's a couple and they're like looking at me and they're kind of waiting for me to take my headphones off like 'cause i'm in this world you know i don't i can't hear anything. I don't know if there's like an ambulance there. What's going on and i kind of slowly take my headphones. And they go. We're big fans..

What what what even was and i just. I realized what rotten friend. I was because i need. You're going to australia. But then i didn't know why i got married. I got divorced. Cry had a couple of kids now. I was locked in a penthouse for like two weeks on quarantine and then they just like let us out immediately and we played a festival. That's run by this Multimillionaire that had won all of his money gambling on horses while studying math in. Tasmania what yeah. He had devised. I'm not gonna go way into this like this is so fascinating it's just a it's just a. Yeah he's like kind of a richard branson type and he like he basically figured out some sort of approach to horse racing. That was statistically so successful that he's now i think it's up there around seven hundred fifty million dollars or something and He paid for us to come. Because he sort of conducts the underground culture in tasmania. I hope i'm not misrepresenting. Underground culture and tasmania but basically he sort of wanted to put us in the show with thurston moore in this legendary New zealand band called the dead sea and like a lot of other people and we We basically just flew over because we thought it might be the only money we might be getting through the whole pandemic and so we'd we'd agreed to do it. And then the government and guys with machine guns were like leading us down halls and it was extremely complicated. I think i did like you know. Twelve covert tests and like All sorts of regimented weird border shit. But i'm back now and you know i'm trying to get my head back in the game in like rediscover some of my organic sort of hunger for the things that i'm supposed to be doing the things that are for me. You know yes and I feel like music. Or what do you mean. Yeah like music and podcasting and everything i've done whether it's you know putting skateboard down on the pavement or or making a video or something. It's it's supposed to be for me you know and it has to be for me but like if you turn your life if you turn art into your job you're headed into a strange vortex and in order to do your job. Well you have to protect the the the zone you go to. That is a super personal place. Because if you don't Maintain the kind of integrity of the world. Then you're not going to be making the thing that's good that anybody wants you know and so if the car starts leading the donkey i think. That's probably the quickest way. I can understand like what happened to all your heroes. When you're growing up right. You watched i think rush or something like a band that starts out wanting to be zeppelin and then you fast forward and that like they're. Mtv attempts are pretty embarrassing. You know and like your you as a kid. You're like what happened. Like why does genius dissipate right. Yeah like every kid every little kid you start age twelve or whatever. You're studying the master right and you're like you're like what. Why is he dying inside. Yeah right and so. We're finally of this age where we can sort of. See the internal death beckoning you. I mean but you see like you have the kid in in you. That is truly the fan and that kid that is the fan is the guiding light in. I mean that's a that's a thorny subject right because you don't want the fans to guide the star wars franchise and yet at the same time. Maybe sometimes they know best you know and that part of you that is is so stringently looking at the details of the continuity of the of the mythology that part of you is probably a lot more wise than the cigar chomping executive. That's just like throwing stars in in the fray. Do you know what i mean. Yes yeah may i. It's i'm interested to know how you distinguish being in that place versus not being in that place. What are the symptoms of being in that place. Well i think you are super in touch with it even if you didn't Studied the science of inspiration growing up because see recording is sort of the great leveler. I suppose because as you're growing up in your like recording yourself you know when you're lying you know what i mean. Yeah because you can hear it immediately on playback right and so you can't get away with anything like you can learn to trick people but it won't stand the test of time and so as somebody who is a fan of other people who went to that zone when you hear yourself on playback like most people you hate yourself right you you hate the way you come off. I think if i could watch videos of myself behaving around my house or talking to my family i would probably be pretty disgusted and not for any great reason just the subtleties of viewing your own. Narcissism or whatever microscopically occurs in every little interaction. That that makes you so repulsed about yourself but that that level of like growing up with recording. You've got a mirror in front of you all the time so you are wrestling with this thing. Called yourself this thing that you either don't understand yet or you don't even like and in order to breakthrough in order to make something that has just a little bit of value. You have to experience a breakthrough and you can't force or manufacturer a breakthrough but the tape has to be rolling all the fucking time. You have to make so much stuff until something happens that you can stand back from objectively and say. I don't know how that happened but fuck. I am lucky that you know. I hit the vortex and like there's an integrity there. There is some sort of fundamental expression happening into enya. There's nothing cocky in that place. There's there's a there's a feeling of you being overcome by either emotion or inspiration in a way that you start to evaporate and the experience starts to be captured right right and in that place. That's where i know you've been when you get excited. And that is in part really that fan kid part of you when you see like say michael jordan like in mid air dunking in theory. He is feeling this. Great exaltation of humanity in this moment in theory. He's feeling what it looks like. But a lotta times as paul mccartney always sort of points out. That person is not feeling that at all. It's the little kid watching it. That's like holy fuck cool so that person job is to make that person feel that flame of existence in that sense in so you know. It's it's a symbiotic relationship right and you've got both of them inside you so you know. There's the technician that's trying to accomplish this incredibly complicated task. And then there's the person appreciates the push to work so hard to become something that's almost not it's almost not even human. It's almost beyond you know. And so like when michael jordan's doing that dunk that one. You see the silhouette of in the back of people's heads. It's not that he's necessarily fully feeling that thing. He's creating an image that we all celebrate. Do you know what. I mean yet. Okay so it's a real it's a it's a. It's an colt idea. Shows up in like a lot of different mystical traditions I just had a rabbi. I knew is saying there's a name in in in judaism. There's a name for the light that shines off of someone who is hanging out with like a realized being so it's the reflection of that beings light shining back onto the realized being. That's one idea the other idea. That's really trippy. Is like in the embarked yoga krishna. Kant because krishna like the that the thing that everything comes out of krishna is the one thing that can't really like love himself in the way other people can like because just that's just what that's what he is. That's what the so rata. His lover appears in. This produces the boxy. What's like the math for boxy to work as you have to have the thing. And then the other thing that loves it and the the reflection of those things produces this like ecstatic infinity mirror. Which is the sum. Total of bhakti yoga. Yeah so you're saying like that's what michael jordan is essentially like. He's this game. God knows what game for him and and who knows where he even is. When he's doing this stuff he might not be there at all. You know if he's really fully in the flow state. He's probably barely there. I get it. That's really cool man. And that's a really strange to realize that you might be looking when you if you if the if you're looking for that feeling of exaltation and to correct me if i'm misunderstanding if you're looking for that feeling of exaltation when you're creating you've misunderstood things is that what you mean like in the sense. That really that feeling of exaltation was more connected to you absorbing other great things like you might not ever get that that i get excited when stuff's coming together and feels in his good. I know what you mean but it is a different feeling. Then when i'm like absorbing someone else's art i wanna think better help for sponsoring this episode of friends something interfering with your happiness. That's.

The Bible Recap
"amos" Discussed on The Bible Recap
"Hey bible readers. I'm barely kabul. And i'm your host for the bible recap today. We've finished our nineteen th book of the bible. Congratulations all right. Let's wrap up the back. Half of amos. He starts by calling out the leaders of the land who relax into lives of luxury and pay no mind to the needy and poor and who fail to notice that they've gotten so far off track in their relationship with god he promises destruction for all the ways they forsaken god in chapter seven god shows amos three different images and they all foretell destruction twice amos leads with god to relent and he does remember how the prophet jona didn't want the people of nin- to repent and god pointed out how ridiculous that was amos is the opposite of jona. He begs god to stay his hand. But when the third vision appears amos starts to get the point that this is inevitable a necessary part of god's process to turn people's hearts back to himself. The first vision was of locus eating at the old and devouring all the farmer had to live on after had paid the king with the first portion of growth the second was a fire devouring everything and while both of those visions involved land. The third vision is a construction image. Amos sees a plumb line which is a tool used to make sure wallace street. It's like a level but vertical instead of horizontal if a wall isn't vertical. It's going to collapse eventually leaning tower of pisa. Your days are numbered. The metaphor god is setting up here. Is that the northern kingdom of israel is about to collapse because they're so far off the standard and can't be set right as you can imagine. None of this sits well with amazon. Who was the priest at. The time amazon goes to kim jerry to accuses amos of conspiring against him and twist the prophecies to help his point then amazon tries to deport amos. I can't imagine how this must feel for amos remember how he begged god to relent. Each just the messenger here and he's being targeted. I want to give him a hug. Obeying god doesn't mean everyone will understand your motives or honor your actions but despite amazon lies amos knows the truth. He knows who god is and he knows who he is to god. A humble servant sent to.
The Bible Recap
"amos" Discussed on The Bible Recap
"Today we drop in on a sheep herding fig farmer named amos who happens to be a minor profit in his spare time and one of my favorites at that not only. Do i like wool and pigs. But amos is also a brilliant writer. The timeline hasn't really moved ahead for us in a few days. We're just reading things. From various people written in the same era so a lot of what amos says is doubling down on what we read from isaiah yesterday lately. The people of israel have been doing really well financially and they think it's a sign of god's blessing they keep offering up meaningless sacrifices to him because they think it keeps them in good standing with him and they anticipate the day when he will rain down judgement on their enemies. However god is about to flip everything they think on its head as per amos. The book opens with eight separate statements from god. Here's how those breakdown. The first seven statements are against the nations surrounding the northern kingdom of israel of those seven the first six speak specifically to the nations. That don't know y'all way as their god. Despite not being in relationship with galway they're still held to his baseline moral standard but when it comes to the seventh nation it's the southern kingdom of judah. And they do know y'all way as their guide they've seen what he's capable up their in covenant with him so they probably think they get a pass since he obviously likes them so much on the contrary he says they're held to an even higher standard because of that they're accountable for what they know and god makes it clear through these chapters that in order for him to be a god of justice no one can escape judgment whether it's the base level judgment or the higher accountability judgment because we're all guilty specifically god says the first six nations are guilty of cruelty slave trade treachery harboring a grudge murder greed and desecrating a corpse when it comes to the seventh nation the southern kingdom of judah guide gives a more general word. You've rejected me. This has always been about the relationship between god and his people is accusations against them may sound far more humane or tame but they're also far more personal the punishment for all seven nations. Is that god promises to send judgment in the form of fire now that god has addressed all the nations surrounding the northern kingdom of israel with a few lines each. He addresses an eighth nation. This time he makes a lengthy diatribe against israel itself going into detail about their offenses. They sell people into debt. Slavery they are pressed the poor they ignore the afflicted. They're sexually immoral and exploited people for their own pleasure. They worship false. Gods and forget that y'all way is the one who rescued them when they were poor and afflicted at enslaved they broken the covenant as a result god is about to bring oppression and destruction their way as i mentioned earlier the way israel views itself is about to be flipped on its head not only is their power and wealth not evidence of god's blessing as it suspected but it's actually evidence to the contrary and as a result god is going to destroy it their strengthen riches won't be able to stand against him and yes they're right to think that god is going to judge the wickedness of their surrounding nations. But he's also going to judge their wickedness and their sacrifices aren't going to appease him because even those are done in a way that dishonors him their so called good deeds are tainted with pride and showy behavior and the sacrifices they bring are being offered away from jerusalem as god had ordained lest we think that god is being harsh with them or having some kind of knee jerk reaction. He says he's already used less severe methods to prompt their repentance drought famine locusts mildew disease death but none of it has turned their hearts. He has been so patient with them and did that list fill a little familiar. Can you see how they're sort of mirroring. Phero at this point all these things have come against them. And they haven't put two and two together that they have become the stubborn oppressor whose heart is hardened toward god the very thing god rescued them from god implores them to seek him and live. He begs them to repent and turn from oppressing the poor and seeking to build their own kingdoms he commands them to hate the evil things that break his heart and to love the things that align with his character he tells them that the day of the lord is coming which refers to the day of his judgment here judgment. That won't just fall on their enemies but on them as well by the way we've previously included a link to a short video with more info on the day of the lord but if you missed it then and are interested now will post that again in. Today's show notes. What was your god shot. Today mine was in three six. Where god reminds israel that he's where the buck stops he says does disaster come to a city unless the lord has done it. God takes ownership of disaster. Here is not always the active agent but he sovereign over all of it and this is a hard pill to swallow. Sometimes it's okay to wrestle with this or to feel the tension of it you're in good company but here's what's important to remember as we wrestle burst while it may seem comforting to think of tragedy as always coming only from the enemy of our souls. We don't actually want the enemy to have the upper hand do we. I certainly don't second guys judgment for sin is always deserved and often even delayed because he's patient third. We want a god who judges sin. You wouldn't be good trustworthy. God if he ignored evil and finally as we'll continue to see god's judgment on his people is ultimately for the purpose of restoration. This is not the end. He's preserving a remnant. God is faithful to his people even when they rebel against him. I love seeing that. Even our god of justice is also a god of mercy watching all his attributes interact with each other and seeing how complex and detailed his character is truly delights me. he's where the joy is no matter how long you've been doing tv.

Palestinians Face Eviction From Jerusalem Neighborhood to Make Way for Biblical Park
"By Jewish settlers, an archaeological park near ancient ruins. It could be the next focus of the conflict over Jerusalem, plans to evict Palestinians from another neighborhood shakes Jura helped spark the Israeli Palestinian violence. In May, NPR's Deborah Amos reports on the latest neighborhood developing as a flash point. Usually we begin a story like this in the neighborhoods that are the flashpoints, But first we're going back in time to an active archaeological site and a tourist destination. The city of David National Park, named for a biblical monarch who ruled here more than 3000 years ago. There are plans to expand this site to create a biblical theme park. In the valley below. There's an underground spring here to a water source for ancient Jerusalem, where Christians believe Jesus toured a blind man, James L. Rod works as a tour guide. It's an underground, my handmade carved tunnels. Over 3300 years ago. How many tourists come to see this? In 2019? A million visitors arrived to see The city of David sites. This tourist site is just outside the walls of the old city on the edge of Silwan, a Palestinian neighborhood in east Jerusalem, which Israel captured from Jordan in 1967 and annexed. But most countries still consider this occupied territory. Israel claims the city as its undivided capital. Palestinians want part of it for their capital, the city of David tourist complexes run by a settlers group, the Air David Foundation. That critics say weaponize archaeological findings to cement Jewish control in this part of the city. The most important archaeological sites in the country are controlled by the settlers of still one. That's

Behold! The Anus: An Evolutionary Marvel
"To peer into the soul of sea cucumber. Don't look to its face. It doesn't have one gently. Turn that blobby body around and gaze deep into it's marvelous multifunctional anus. This catherine woo a science writer. For the atlanta. The sea cucumber's posterior is so much more than an exit hole for waste. It has also a makeshift mouth. That gobbles up. Bits of algae a faux lung loudest with tubes that exchange gas but the surrounding water and a weapon that in the presence of danger can launch a sticky stringy web of internal organs entangle predators. And if you haven't guessed already this episode yes is about the anus because the amos is an evolutionary marvel and amos of a sea cucumber is a spectacular example it can even on occasion be home for shimmering pearl fish which wriggle inside the bum when it billows open to breathe. It would not be inaccurate to describe a secret number as an extraordinary amos that just so happens to have a body around it now needs doesn't get as much respect as it deserves partially because of our human taboos around them or is katie puts it. We've turned amos's across the tree of life into cultural underdogs and scientific one too. I imagine it's a little weird for some of these people to like. Go into a poster session and just be like hey. Do you want to look at pictures of all these businesses. I've been looking at in my lab. There's this huge taboo around it Just in general pop culture. And i think that definitely does bleed into science.

Morning Edition
'Coming 2 America' Goes Heavy On Nostalgia
"Too heavily on nostalgia. Unless you're a huge fan of Eddie Murphy's classic 1988 film coming to America, and lots of people are there's not going to be a lot for you, and it's less than inspired sequel Coming to America. We celebrated her 30 years absolute and prosperity. 30 Years of service. Well, great nation on 30 Years off Delicious fast food. The new film begins with Murphy's Prince Akeem Joe Fair, opening a fast food restaurant called McDowell's in the African Country of Amanda Devote ease of the first movie. No. This chain is owned by Akin's American father in law, played by John Amos, who denies his business is in any way a rip off of another well known burger joint. They've got egg mcmuffins way that a mixed up in this way are also celebrating my new beyond big mix burger, So there's no meat. There's no meat. Maybe we're getting much better with Pepsi Call Max here are subtle as a sledgehammer. This scene mostly gives us an excuse to see Amos and Louie Anderson, who also appeared in the first film, The Story of the original movie was a black centered fairytale. Murphy's a keen came to America, Queens, New York, of course, tow avoid an arranged marriage and find true love in the new movie. After the death of his father, King Akeem discovered he fathered a son unknowingly in America. Teams return to Queens brings one of the Sequels funniest moments when he revisits a local barber shop where movie magic allows Murphy and costar Arsenio Hall to play multiple parts. Just like in the first film can't be both famine and blood. Damn, Nelson Mandela and Winnie just discovered that I may have a bastard son here in this land conceived during my last visit. How much data supports you getting from the King pays no child support. No time for 30 years and you came back. You're the damn it. Comic Jermaine Fowler plays the sun. Lovell Johnson, who brings King a came home to meet his mother marry played by Saturday night Live alum Leslie Jones. My African I told you he was gonna come back. So you know this man. I definitely know this man. I know this man all the way live much as I love Leslie Jones, she and levels. Other American relatives, including Tracy Morgan, as his uncle Come off is uncomfortable stereotypes as King Akeem introduces his son to the moonda and pressures him into an arranged marriage. Comedy gets clunkier and more predictable, like a Mel Brooks style parody of the Black Panther of The Lion King and the first coming to America. Ultimately, this coming to America is mostly an excuse to bask in the glow of characters who's shown so much brighter and distinctively. 33 years ago. I'm Eric Deggans.

Bloomberg Daybreak
Pfizer's vaccine trial data holds up in the real world
"More again on the pandemic and the promising news about vaccines that Seems to continue to pile up of late. We're joined now by Dr Amos, a doll jah, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and a professor of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. It's always good to get your insights doctor and I want to get your take on this latest study out of Israel that seems to verify the clinical data we got on the Fizer vaccine that it seems to be Just about a super effective in the real world as it is in lab settings. What do you make of this pure reviewed study? This is great news because we always know that it's one thing when you're in a clinical trial, and you've got a lot of protocols and certain people who volunteer for those clinical trials, and then you move from that setting to the real world where things can be a little bit more messy. Are there a lot of variables that might not have been accounted for in the clinical trial, and that's what we really understand how effective the vaccine is moving from F ethical efficacy Studies to Real world Effective ists. I think this is good news, and it really cemented the fact that these vaccines are the passport and the way we get our lives back and put this pandemic to rest doesn't make you think that vaccines could get us to herd immunity that it'll be vaccines alone. That could get us to that step that we all want to see. Do you think that vaccines will eventually get us to herd immunity? But it won't be vaccines alone because already one third of the population in the U. S likely has some level of immunity from prior infection. Herd immunity, although it's a major milestone to reach. It's not the only thing I think to me the biggest The biggest milestone would be vaccinating are vulnerable populations completely so that this virus can never cause serious illness, hospitalization or death again that it could never threaten hospital capacity. I think we were will get there first. And then eventually herd immunity will will come. So I think the key is really taming this virus, making an unable to cause serious disease. And that's why our vaccine allocation process is geared towards those who are most likely to have severe disease. And I think we'll get there first. Before we hit hurted me. Did he speak about vulnerable populations? Doctor? I wonder if you're also thinking about the racial disparity that we continue to see in the vaccine distribution effort we saw Further evidence of that on the Bloomberg vaccine tracker just yesterday. What's it going to take to sort of bridge the gap between black populations receiving the vaccine and white populations? It's going to be very, very challenging. And I think that The more people that get back stated. The more people in those communities that are vaccine hesitant or afraid to get back there because they're on trusting of the of the vaccine or public health authorities. The more they see people get vaccinated and nothing untoward happened. I think the better it is. But I do think we need specific outreach to those programs to those individuals specific programs that really trying address their concerns almost on individual basis, because if that group does not get back stated they still represent they represent some of the people that are most risk for. Of your disease. They're disproportionately the ones who've died from this. We have to do better in order to put this pandemic to an end. And I think it's going to be challenging. And I think we're gonna need the innovative solutions. We're going to the community leaders to really Show people the data and be very transparent about how effective these vaccines have been in go through all of the safety data and hopefully persuade them to get vaccinated at much higher rates than they have been. Our last minute here. What's your level of concern about some of the latest variants we're seeing reports on with there's a New York Times report just this morning about a variant in New York City that seems to be spreading pretty rapidly and could blunt the effectiveness of vaccines. Yeah, it's hard to know exactly how to take all the news of the variance. We know that this virus has been making variants as soon as it jumped into humans and most very instead from made headlines have never made The New York Times Because they didn't change the way the virus behave. But there are some that appeared to have made the virus more contagious. Some that have Changed the way the virus interacts with the immune system and those air more concerning, But I do think when you look at our vaccine data against these areas, including ones that are more Troublesome like the one that they call the South African variant of the resilient variant. The vaccine's still do remarkably well on what matters. Preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death. So I do think that the goal when it comes to these variants is to stay ahead of them by accelerating vaccination programs to the fastest possibles rate. Some of these various don't pose a problem, but I think we need to do better attracting them and understanding them. But not everyone that you see is going to rise to prominence and I think we're getting better now at tracking them. Sequencing, and so you're going to hear more about various, but not all of them are going to be of the same important that it's gonna take some time. Specifically all of that.
