"Okay. Now we're going to read from God's word. We're reading in the book of Genesis. Tonight we're reading Genesis chapter 10. Now this is the genealogy of the sons of Noah Shem Ham and Japheth and sons were born to them after the flood. The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Medi, Javan, Tubal, Meshach, and Tiras. The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Rifath, and Togarmah. The sons of Javan were Elisha, Tarshish, Kitim, and Dodonim. From these the coastline peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands. Everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations. The sons of Ham were Kush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. The sons of Kush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Rahama, and Sabtahkah. And the sons of Rahama were Sheba and Dedon. Kush begot Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one on the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore, it is said, like Nimrod, the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erek, Akkad, and Calneh in the land of Shinar. From that land, he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth, Ur, Kala, and Rezin between Nineveh and Kala. That is the principal city. Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naftahim, Pothrasim, and Kazlihim, from whom came the Philistines and Kaftarim. Canaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth, the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Gergashite, the Hivite, the Archite, and the Sinai. The Avadite, the Zamorite, and the Hamathite. Afterward, the families of the Canaanites were dispersed, and the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza, then as you go towards Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, as far as Lasha. These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, and in their nations. The children were born also to Shem, and children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth, the elder. The sons of Shem were Elam, Asher, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram. The sons of Aram were Uz, Hol, Gether, and Mash. Arphaxad begot Salah, and Salah begot Eber, and Eber to Eber were born two sons. The name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan. Joktan begot Almadad, Sheleth, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadaram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal, Abba Ma'el, Sheba, Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan and their dwelling place was from Misha, as you go toward Siphar, the mountain of the east. These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, according to their nations. These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations, and from these nations were divided the earth after the flood. The word of the Lord. The passage that we're looking at tonight records a new era in humanity. You've got these three sons of Noah and from these three sons, all of the nations of the earth will emerge. Now, at first glance, this text looks like just a genealogy, lists of names of ancestors and their descendants, but when you look more closely, the passage is not attempting to present a full lineage. Not so much a lineage, but rather its focus is to present lands and languages and peoples and nations. You could sum up this passage like this. Noah is the father of all the nations. Noah is the father of all the nations. And so we'll look at three things tonight. First of all, we will look at how the world became diverse, how the world became diverse. And then secondly, how the world became divided, how the world became diverse, how the world became divided. And then thirdly, what reunites our divisions. Well, let's start with how the world became diverse. In verse one, Noah has three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Neither of any of them are popular today as names for children, but these were the three sons and sons were born to them after the flood. And so we start with this one family, one family, the three sons of Noah and the text lists descendants, some of the descendants from each son. You've got the descendants from Japheth, verses two through five, and then the descendants from Ham, six through 20, and then the descendants from Shem, verses 21 through 31. In verse two, Japheth, that's Noah's middle son. Japheth has seven sons. The genealogy here highlights only two of those seven sons. Gomer, verse three, Javan, verse four. Why only these two? Was it that the other ones had no children? It's not likely, but from these two sons, the peoples and the nations who would eventually populate the Mediterranean region, it's from those two sons that the Mediterranean nations and peoples develop. These names seem to map to today's coastal Turkey, today's Crete, today's coastal Greece, and even Italy, and maybe even Spain. From those two sons, those peoples and nations seem to emerge. Then verse five, it says something like that. From these, these two sons, the coastline people of the Gentiles were separated into their lands. Everyone, according to his language, according to their families into their nations. Now the other sons of Japheth, they spread to lands, not so much to the West, but more to the North, the modern nations of Turkey, the modern nations of Armenia and the region of Georgia. So towards the North and even the North East. And so some of the peoples there and the nations, that's where they came from, from this son, Japheth. And from Japheth, these ancient nations in the North, ancient nations in the West and the Mediterranean, that is the beginning. There were no nations there. There were no other peoples. Now verses six through 20, you've got Noah's youngest son, Ham. He has sons. Four of them are listed and his genealogy traces the development of people and nations in the land of Canaan and what would be the land of Israel. So kind of in the center of the map at that time. Some of the people and the nations listed there are in the region of Palestine. Others form people and nations, a few of them down in the Persian Gulf, some down in Egypt. So Japheth, fathers nations that are to the West and to the North, Ham fathers, nations that are central and somewhat to the South. Then verses 21 through 31, we've got nations and people from the eldest son, from Shem. From Shem, you have peoples and nations that are more to the East and somewhat to the North. They're the peoples and the nations that are in today's Syria, Iraq and Iran. And you can see that these genealogies that are listed here just in this chapter, they appear to be selective, focused not on lineage, but on nations and people. And some of them will be highlighted as we, as we look ahead tonight. The focus is on where the peoples and where the countries come from. Not so much on, well, who is George's great, great aunt? And who was Eleanor's great, great niece? It's more focusing on the peoples, the nations that emerged from this one first family. And so look at how for each genealogy, for each of these three sons, how each one of them, their little genealogy ends, not with a son, but with a state. Verse five, from these, the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands. Everyone according to his language, according to their families into their nations. Then with Japheth, these are lands, languages, families, clans, nations. It's the same for the other two sons though. The conclusion of Ham's genealogy. It's not a son. That you chain down to this list of grandfathers and great grandfathers and you come down to the father and the son. But the conclusion are again, it's states and nations. So Genesis 10, 20, these were the sons of Ham according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands and in their nations. And some of the names that are listed there, they don't seem to be people names. They seem to be people's names, not the name of a person, but a name of a clan, a tribe, a people that would emerge, even a nation. Verse 31, the same thing for this third, the oldest son, the third one listed here, Shem. You've got the same language formula and nation formula for the sons of Shem. And then you take this whole chapter and the very last verse after it's gone through all of these genealogies of these three sons, verse 32 sums up the point of this particular genealogy text. Genesis 10, 32, these were the families of the sons of Noah according to their generations in their nations. And from these, the nations were divided on the earth after the flood. And so as you look at this and you think, okay, I get it. I see what, what the writer is doing here. And okay, so we have all these nations that come from Noah and you, maybe you'll ask this, well, is, is the text presenting this positively? Is it presenting this negatively? Is this a good thing? Is the creation of many nations a good thing? Well, here's something to bring to consider that question. Recall earlier that both with Adam and also then again with Noah, God commanded people to be fruitful, to multiply and to fill the earth because God had made the earth or with Noah, he had cleansed the earth and God wants his image bearers to populate his creation, to populate the earth, to bring his image to all parts of creation. And so we see something positive about the spread of humanity into lands and into different nations. It's something of the fulfillment of the creation command that God gave to Adam and that God renewed and gave as a humanity mandate to Noah. And that mandate for humanity to spread and to fill the earth that has God's blessing. You recall just a chapter earlier after the flood, Genesis nine, one, God has saved Noah, saved his family from the destroying flood. And then it says God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. The blessing, the filling of the earth, that's God's good. That's what God wants. And so we see the spread of the peoples and the nations. It's part, it's part of this divine blessing. And Genesis nine verse seven, God kind of confirms this. God says to Noah and this charter for humanity and as for you, be fruitful and multiply, bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply in it. Then Genesis nine 19 these three, the sons of Noah, these three were the sons of Noah and from these the whole earth was populated. And so you see God's favor as humans spread and populated the lands across the whole planet. And this is confirmed in the new Testament acts 1726 it says, and God, he has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the faces of the earth and God has determined their pre appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings. And so that, that, that verse and acts kind of wraps up and then starts to crystallize some of how we as Christians view the existence of nations. How did we get to the place in this world today of having nearly 200 nations in the world? Well, we hear from from acts 17 is that what God made the nations God made from one blood, from, from Adam, from Noah, he made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth. God made the nations. It didn't just happen in some sort of anthropological evolutionary process, not some just geography of, of human spread. It wasn't just anthropology and geography working out, people migrating and marrying and mixing and developing new peoples and cultures. It says that God established every nation on the face of the earth. God determined the borders that form. God is behind the formation of nations, every nation, and Job reveals that it's the Lord God ultimately that causes a nation to rise. And he also reveals that it's the Lord God who ultimately causes a nation to fall. Job 12 31 he, God the Lord, he makes nations great and destroys them. He enlarges nations and guides them. And so are you someone who tends to worry about politics, what's going on with countries and how it's going to turn out and how will affect your country and how will this country be affected and how that country affect your country? Do you worry about the news? Are you the kind of person that worries maybe about not the country or the international news? Do you worry about your own people? Do you worry about your own community and you hear things that are going on at a deep level? You have to surrender all of that to God. God is the one who will make nations great and God is also the one who will make nations dust. The Lord God omnipotent reigns. It says in revelation 19 and some of that means that even at the smallest level, your own family, your own family stress, whatever's going on with your family or your own group where you live, maybe with other people in the same home, you worry about your people, your fears that you have about your children, your friends. You've got to, you've got to come again to this, this plain declaration. God is working out his good will. Proverbs 21 says the King's heart is in the hand of the Lord. Like the rivers of water, he turns it wherever he wishes. And so maybe for your situation, do you have someone in your situation in your family, someone who you, you could say they are, I have a chaos actor. There's this agent of chaos in my life. Someone who seems to be driving the bus that you're riding in and your, your loved ones are riding it. They seem to be driving the bus and they're driving the bus off the cliff. God can override and God can overrule the most highly placed human power in your life. It could be a King, it could just be a supervisor, it could be a husband. Look at how God molded the will and the disposition of emperors, world leaders. God hardened Pharaoh's heart. God softened Nebuchadnezzar's heart. And so that means for your situation, your chaos is not out of control. It means that you don't ultimately wrestle with flesh and blood. It means God in his heaven is working powerfully for you in the unseen realm. And so you can cry to him. You can, you can cast your cares on him believer because he does care for you. Now we've looked at how the world became diverse, the origin of many nations. Now let's look at how the world became divided. You've got these different nations, but they're not at peace with one another. The division and the scattering of the nations. The text makes plain the wrongness, not of the diversity, not the existence of the nations. The text makes plain the wrongness of divisions, divisions among people. Divisions ought not to exist. Why? Well, one of the points of this passage is to tell us, tell us all, all of us come from one father. We all descend from Noah. We all come from one father, Noah. Verse one, this is the account of Noah's sons. And then that's the first verse, the very last verse, verse 32, these were the families of the sons of Noah divided on the earth after the flood. The first, the last verses of this account state that Noah is our one father, but everything between those two verses speaks of the divisions and the separations that are to come that developed. Now, the original hearers of this text, Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible that we call them the Pentateuch. The original hearers and the readers were Israelites and they were, they were the people of Israel at the time when they were a baby nation. They were a new nation and this new nation had formed by their Exodus from an enemy nation. They were a new nation. They, they came out from an enemy nation that was Egypt and they were heading this new nation, Israel. They were heading and facing an engagement with another enemy nation, Canaan. You've got the hearers, Israel, and enemies on both sides, Egypt as they came out, Canaan as they went in and all through this genealogy, chapter 10 among the sons of Noah, those two enemy peoples appear in this chapter. Verse 13 Mizraim that's Egypt verses 15 through 18. Those are the enemy peoples of Canaan. And so among all the names and the nations, what you have listed here in chapter 10 in the genealogies of the sons of Noah, you have future enemy peoples and future enemy nations who will come. They're also listed Philistines, Assyrians, Babylonians. And so that's, that's part of the focus of this text. You look at this one hero that's pulled out and highlighted here, Nimrod, verses eight through 12. Nimrod, it says is the first mighty hunter on the earth and then he's not just a mighty hunter. He becomes this, this heroic figure, this father of great cities and peoples. And so you think this guy, he's, he's powerful. He's, he's established so many things. It would be like there was someone who was a great hunter. He was, he was a great business tycoon and he also founded the city of New York City and Detroit and Chicago and Los Angeles. You think, wow, what a guy. But what we see here is they will become enemies of Israel, Assyria, Babylon, Philistia. And so there's something painful about how the text highlights that the divisions that are to come. The only other individual that's highlighted in this chapter, verse 25, Peleg. Now why was he noted? Well, just for one thing, because in the days of Peleg, the earth was divided. His name means divided. And when he lived, when he was born, the earth was divided. And so, so here's what's running under the surface of this chapter. Because all humanity shares one father, Noah, we should be united. Every year should be the potential for this great big family reunion. And who's in that family reunion? Everyone on the planet. We all come from one father, but instead here's what's running underneath it. Instead from this one father, we're divided. Sons and grandsons, they'll become enemy nations who quarrel, who capture, who kill and mistreat one another. And the text repeats terms like scattered, divided, separated all throughout this chapter. And that all has negative connotations. You don't want to be scattered. You don't want to be divided from one another, from your brothers, from your cousins. You don't want to be separated. People are being separated from one another, geographically separated, the lands, the borders, linguistically separated, the languages are noted, relationally separated. They're at odds. There's enmity. There are family feuds that just chain down through generations among the sons and grandsons and great grandsons listed here. This is all negative. And isn't this something that all of us want to work against? Isn't this why just out in the world, businesses, they hire mediators to help two parties that are divided, try to negotiate and settle the differences they have. And isn't this why nations will convene summits? You've got the United Nations seeking diplomatic solutions to divisions and to try to work out disputes between different nations. And what we find that we're living in, in this life, the person, you've got a person in your life who's now an enemy. Something happened and now you've got an enemy or you've got a nation and you don't view them as a friendly nation. You, you have maybe a few nations in your mind which are now nemesis. The divisions in the world, they bring troubles and we're not just talking about it at a geopolitical level and we're not just talking at a local level. We're also talking about our personal relationships, aren't we? Jesus speaks to this. Matthew 12, 25. Jesus says, every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. And what we see here is that the sons of Noah's sons, they divide against one another. And so that's what we're living in now as a great, great, great, great, great descendants of the sons of Noah. Whether, whether it's a husband who will not stop attacking his wife or whether it's two church members who just, they can't stand each other. They can't be in the room with one another. We know that division, we know that enmity, it should not be. Now we've looked at how the world became diverse. We've looked at how the world became divided. Now let's, let's look at what reunites our divisions. What will bring the blessing of the Lord on the sons of Noah? What will bring the reunion of the nations, the reunion of the sons of Noah? What will bring unity and healing to divided families? What will end clan wars and family feuds? Well, you need to take this chapter and you need to see how this, this fits into the entire Bible. This passage is the beginning of one of the great themes that developed all through scripture and that theme is the healing of the nations, the reunion of the nations and bound in that is the reunion of our, our homes. Our text recounts, it's almost the birth of the nations and in many Bible references that you look at this, this chapter will be called the table of the nations. It's like the census, the first census where they were counting the countries. Next week we'll look at the decisive, the scattering. This is the formation of the nations. Next week we'll look more at the decisive scattering of the nations and their alienation from one another. But then from here, a few chapters later, we start to get a hint as this theme develops in the Bible. We get a hint of how is the Lord going to bring the nations of the world back together? They just seem to be drifting apart. Abraham, the father of the nation of Israel, just one nation. God selects him to become father of a nation, but it's almost just as a little tangential, sub promise. God promises to make Abraham and his people, his nation, a source of divine good for all of the nations, all the divided peoples. Genesis 12 three, he says to Abraham, in you, all the families of the earth shall be blessed. And then Genesis 22 18 in your offspring, all the nations of the earth shall be blessed because you have obeyed my voice. And then from Abraham, as you start working through the Bible, you see this theme working out. You see the story of, of God's dealings with, with just his nation, his people, and you see them getting both rising and falling. You see Assyria, one of these sons, one of the descendants of, of, of Noah. You see Assyria coming in and they trample Israel and they capture Israel. And then another one of the sons, the sending nations of, of Noah come Babylon at Assyria comes and then Babylon comes and tramples and captures Israel and in their darkest national moment, God reveals secrets from his, his plan that is unfolding even as it seems like everything is burning out. Not only will God save his own people, Israel from the enemy nations, God is still going to bring all of the nations, all of the sons of Noah into his nation. God is working. A reunion of the nations of the long divided sons of Noah. Isaiah two, starting at verse two, the Lord says, now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the Hills. So you've got God's, God's nation and his mountain established. And then he says, and all nations shall flow into it. Many people shall come and say, come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways and we shall walk in his paths for out of Zion. That's, that's, that's the capital of God's nation, Israel. For out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations and rebuke many people. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation. Neither shall they learn war anymore. And so you've got this picture of peace. You've got this picture of the nations of the earth all coming to the Lord flowing into the place and the peace of the Lord. Then it's repeated again, Isaiah 56 verse six and the Lord says also the sons of the foreigner, people who are, who are from other nations, people from the other sons of Noah, also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to the Lord to serve him and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants. Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath and holds fast my covenant, even them, I will bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations. The Lord God who gathers the outcasts of Israel says, yet I will gather to him others besides those who are gathered to him. And the vision that he's presenting here is this, all of the sons of Noah, all the nations coming into the house of God and immunizations now subdued and won over. They're now all allies. They come to worship God and his house is called a house of prayer for all nations. And isn't that exactly the zeal that Jesus had in the temple? When Jesus comes, that's his zeal that the scattered nations would be gathered in. Now how is that going to happen? How will the divided nations become reunited? It's through the gospel. The gospel is the climax of this theme of the divided nations coming back together in the gospel. Jesus himself is divided from his home land, from his heavenly land, and he goes, he leaves it and he goes to a distant land. It's as if he's scattered from his home country and in that foreign country, in that land, Jesus there is captured, he's subjugated and he slaughtered. Jesus endures the ultimate division from his people in two ways. He endures the ultimate division in terms of his divinity. He is the holy son of God, but he becomes man. And it's not just in terms of his divinity that he gets divided as if divided from the nations being divided. In terms of his holiness, also he becomes divided. The holy son of God, he becomes unholy. He becomes sin. It says, he who knew no sin became sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God in him. And so on the cross, what you see with Jesus, it's the ultimate separation. On the cross, Jesus embraced the ultimate division from his people. The holy son of heaven became our unholy transgressions. The unholy sin of an enemy people. And not just that, by his sinless life, Jesus gives to all who believe the door, the way back in to the one family, the entrance for outsiders and enemies to join his people by his garment of righteousness. You can enter and live by his death. He becomes the door for all of the nations to enter. And so this speaks not just to the nations, what God is doing at this, this huge cosmic universal global level. This also speaks to you as an individual by birth and by nature, you're children of wrath. You're from an enemy nation, enemy peoples, all of us. And the sad thing is church membership. It can't change that. That's just superficial. You need blood. You need his blood of cleansing from guilt. You need his blood that will give you a new family line inside yourself. You need blood union with him for your adoption. You need blood union with him for your new citizenship. And so the question for all of us, whether you're a child or whether you're retired, do you believe, do you believe, do you confess that you're on the outside and you need to come in, that you're a sinner and that you need Jesus to be your righteous covering. And this speaks to you not just as individuals. This speaks to you if you live in a divided family or if you live in a divided nation, maybe you, the state of your life is you're in a cold war. Maybe the, the, the, the missiles aren't flying and the bullets aren't flying, but you're in a cold war. The hostility is there and it's solidified and it's in steel and in concrete. You're in a cold war with someone and it's gone on for years. You're divided from each other and maybe, maybe there are some steps that you need to take. Maybe you need to leave your gift at the altar, go to them and be reconciled as Jesus teaches. But maybe, maybe you've already taken all of those steps and you've done it half a dozen times. You've taken all the steps to be reconciled, but they will not have it. They will not, if it's, if it's sin on their part, they will not repent. They will not change. They will not turn. And so they will not be reconciled to you. And sometimes that means maybe because of your own hard heart, but sometimes maybe because of the other person's hard heart, you can't be reconciled and you can't be restored today as much as you would love to see that happen. Well, here's hope for you. If you're a Christian, there is a day of reunion. You are headed for a day of reunion. When, when the enemy nations and the enemy peoples become one once again, when they all surround Jesus Christ in joy and in love for him and for each other. Revelation seven verse nine. Okay. After these things I looked and behold a great multitude which no one could number of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the lamb clothed with white robes and with Palm branches in their hands and crying out with a loud voice saying, salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne and to the lamb. That's a picture of all of the nations standing there, all the peoples, all the different languages. He will gather the divided peoples back together and that will be the day when all of the hurtful words are done. When we will lay down our arms, our weapons before the Prince of peace. When some who are enemies become brothers and sisters and friends again, and all of this is good news. Now this, this has implications not just for your own situation. This has implications for, for ministry. This has implications for missions. God is poor, has, has poured out his spirit to unite enemy people of the world. He's gathering in, but to accomplish that gathering in, there's one more scattering, one more spreading out that needs to happen. It's a scattering that unites Jesus. If you are a believer, Jesus sends you out outside of your borders, outside of where you are comfortable. Jesus is sending you to enter places that are foreign to you, people and places that feel strange and uncomfortable. Unfamiliar. Maybe to people who are richer, maybe to people who are poorer, maybe to people who seem like they're more pulled together and stable. Maybe the people who seem less stable and more topsy turvy. Jesus sends you to go and make disciples of all nations. Jesus tells you, if you're a believer, you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. And so the question for you is, are you willing, are you willing to go to other people just in your own city, to a different zip code, to a different subculture in the same Tidewater where we all live? Are you willing to go with the gospel, not just to other cultures, but also to other countries? Are you willing? He's scattering you. He's sending you out so that he can gather in all of the nations that are divided. And so Acts 2, 8, and we close with this. When God poured out his Holy Spirit on Pentecost, all these people from all these different nations were shocked at this next step and the unfolding of God's plan to bring in all of the divided nations. They said when they saw God's people filled with the spirit, how is it that we hear each in our own language in which we were born, Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya, adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs. We hear them speaking in our own tongues, the wonderful works of God. Can you go and tell someone about the wonderful works of God? Let's pray.Lord, we see this global picture that it's, it's really more than we with our finite minds can, can really all hold together. But we see that, that people, all of us, sons and daughters of Noah, all of us made in the image of God, we're scattered through the world and you have made the beautiful diversity of all the nations. But by our sin and the devil's handiwork, these many nations are divided. And we sense that at the national level and the interpersonal level. But we also see that Jesus Christ is the one reconciling, working for the reconciliation, reconciliation of all humanity. And truly he is the savior of the world. And he's our savior. And so Lord, we pray that you would use us to be ambassadors of the great reconciliation that Jesus Christ has established and is working out to completion. Would you put on our hearts a hope to enter into this and let us not be held back by fear or by by discouragement, but we would you empower us by your spirit and make us to be agents that live and bring peace wherever we go. We ask this in Jesus name. Amen.

"First Timothy chapter number six, we are discussing the evidence that there is for the inspiration of scripture. We believe the Bible to be the word of God written, pinned, written down, recorded by 40 different men in three languages over a period of 1600 years, but evidently with one author and that author being almighty God who created us to have relationship with him and loves us and so he's revealed himself to us in writing through what we call the Holy Bible. It's a book of books, 66 books, but all fits together and we believe it to be divinely inspired inerrant, meaning without error, it is pure, it is perfect, it is powerful and there are very few people who still believe that. The majority of people believe that the Bible came somewhat from God, but you know you can't really believe that every word is as God wants it to be. There are more people who think it's a myth and a fairy tale and a legend than who believe that it is the word of God and is to be taken literally. 415 times the Bible uses the phrase, thus saith the Lord, 313 times the Bible references the word of God or the word of the Lord and we believe that. I believe that. You've got to make up your mind whether or not you believe that. I trust that you do and so what we're covering is the evidence that we have to support that belief. God does not ask us, he does ask us to exercise faith. He does not ask us to exercise blind faith. Faith and reason are not mutually exclusive. Faith and evidence are not mutually exclusive. This is not a blind faith. This is a credible faith. There are reasons to believe that the Bible is the word of God and if the Bible is the word of God and if what it says is true, then it would behoove us to find out what it says and build our lives upon it. It has the answer to eternal life, life after death. It has the answer to salvation from sin in relationship with God. It has the answer for the best way to live upon this earth. We read in 2 Peter chapter 1, where into ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place and so while we study the evidence for the inspiration of scripture, there are two different benefits, primary benefits that we derive from this study. Number one, it bolsters our faith and confidence. Wherever that might be lacking, it gives us every reason to continue to believe that the Bible is the word of God and continue to attempt to build our lives upon the truth of scripture, but then what we also want to be able to do is to articulate these truths in conversation with lost people that we're trying to witness to, many of whom have no point of reference when we try to start in and give them the gospel and tell them about Jesus Christ and his death on the cross, his resurrection, how we can be forgiven. Well a lot of times we've got to go back to the very beginning and establish that God is the creator and he gave us his word and there are many who will oppose the truth that we believe that the Bible is divinely inspired and we want to be able to give some reasons for why we believe what we believe. We were in Pennsylvania a couple weeks ago, had youth camp all week long. On Saturday we went downtown Lancaster, Pennsylvania to do some street preaching and some witnessing and had a great time with a few brothers down there and right before we left I had this conversation with a man who came by and wanted to oppose what was happening and call us names and so you know how it goes. Most people want to make you know snide comments or smart comments but they do it while they're in motion and while they're almost out of earshot, you understand what I'm talking about? They don't come up to you and say something to your face so they can engage you in conversation, they try to just like lob a bomb right after they're out of reach and so you know I challenge in a friendly way I hope, in a nice way I challenge the individual, tell me what you believe, let's have a conversation. I walk over to him and he's cussing and he's being profane and he's you know calling me stupid and he believed in the big banks so I asked him for his evidence. He had absolutely none, he had absolutely no reason to believe what he believed other than, and he basically admitted this and I pointed out to him in the conversation excuse me, other than he didn't want God to tell him what to do. I've got some coffee, I need to cough, excuse me, okay that's better. So it's good to be able to and I went into some of these things about why we believe the Bible is the Word of God and it is we have reason to believe it and the next one this morning we talked about the continuity of Scripture, the unity of Scripture, how you could not replicate what we have in the Bible if you were to attempt to do this. These 40 different, 1600 years, three different languages and so many topics and it all fits together and no contradictions and then we talked about the endurance of Scripture, heaven or earth shall pass away but God's Word shall not pass away and this Bible has been attacked throughout history and yet it remains the best-selling book in all the world. We talked about fulfilled prophecy and we could go on and on and on talking about fulfilled prophecy and how it verifies the inspiration of Scripture, 351 Old Testament prophecies fulfilled in the first coming of Jesus Christ. But we'll continue this morning with scientific accuracy, scientific accuracy and I've misplaced my copy of the bulletin so I can follow along with your notes, there it is. First Timothy chapter 6 and verse number 20 is our first reference we'll look at, not sure how many of these references we can get to this morning but we'll try our best. First Timothy chapter 6 and in verse number 20 the Bible says, oh Timothy keep that which is committed I trust avoiding profane and vain battleings and oppositions of science falsely so-called. Now God anticipated the arguments that people would make against his word, God anticipated that people would say they don't believe in the Bible they believe in science, that was this individual that I spoke to a week ago yesterday. He claimed to believe in science, when I asked him what science he believed in he had no idea, he had no answer for why the Big Bang contradicted the scientific laws of thermodynamics, the scientific law of the conservation of angular momentum. Science and the Big Bang are incompatible. Now there are scientists who believe in the Big Bang because they don't want to believe in God but science is knowledge that is gained through observation and experimentation and nobody has observed anything like the Big Bang taking place. Nobody has observed the evolution of one species to another species, these are people who call people who call themselves scientists believe these things but that is science falsely so-called, it comes under the name of science but that is a misnomer, okay. It's not science at all, it's theory, it's belief, it's religion, it takes faith but people don't believe in the Bible because they believe in science. I believe in science, I believe in the water cycle, right, I believe in things that you can observe, I believe in germ theory, that's been demonstrated, right, I believe that a mask is about as helpful as a chain link fence, that's scientific, those are starting to come back out. Anyway scientific accuracy backs up the Bible, the Bible is not a science book but where it makes a scientific statement it is always accurate, in fact the Bible outpaces modern scientific discovery over and over and over again, there are things that began to be discovered in the 1800s that men thought this is modern scientific advancement and those things that were discovered beginning in the 1800s and on were in the Bible all along and how did these men who wrote thousands of years ago have this advanced scientific knowledge unless and here's where it is, I mean unless, unless God inspired what these men wrote, if the God who is the creator of heaven and earth, if the God who is the one who set up the laws that govern nature, if he's the one that gave the words, they don't make perfect sense that these men could have some advanced understanding of scientific principles and there are so many illustrations of this, we'll just take a few of them this morning, let's turn quickly, Job 26, Job is the oldest book in your Bible, I understand it does not come first sequentially but the book of Job was written prior to the book of Genesis, Job 26 and verse number 7, Job 26 and verse number 7, the Bible says in Job 26 7, he stretches out the north over the empty place and hangeth the earth upon nothing, here's what Job knew thousands of years ago that the Job understood what was theorized and demonstrated by Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton and modern scientists, Job understood the principles of gravity that the earth hangs upon nothing, that God stretched out the north over the empty place, that's a scientific fact in your Bible, Isaiah chapter 40 and verse 22, Isaiah 40 and verse number 22, the year 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue, he was going to arrive in the East Indies by sailing west, there was deep concern that he would fall off the edge of the earth, what they did not know at the time was that on the edges there were huge walls of ice and it would be impossible for Columbus to penetrate those and fall off over the edge, but no here's what Columbus believed that the earth was round, it was a sphere, you could go west and eventually circle back to the east, now it was a lot farther than he imagined that it was, he landed in the Caribbean and thought he was in the Indies or claimed them to be, so anyway you got the East Indies and the West Indies, but in Isaiah 40 and verse number 22 the Bible said in 712 BC, 712 years before Christ, it is he, God, that sitteth upon the circle of the earth and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers that stretched out the heavens as a curtain and spread them out as a tent to dwell in, the earth is spherical, that is a fact that was written many, many, many, many, many years before Galileo, Isaiah wrote down that the earth is round, Luke chapter 17, look at that one, no go to Job 25, Job 25, I've got some extra references in my notes that we didn't put in yours just because we have a limited amount of time, Job 25 and verse number 5, Job 25 verse 5, the Bible says behold even to the moon and it shineth not, yea the stars are not pure in his sight, so the moon does not shine, now in the sky at night it looks like it shines, especially on a clear night with a full moon, the moon is bright, you almost don't need a flashlight on a night like that to go out at night time and see because the moon is shining brightly except it's not, we understand now that the moon simply reflects the light of the sun, it does not shine at all of itself, which is a type of picture of the Christian, let your light so shine, well Jesus is the light of the world, he's in us, we're to reflect his light like the moon reflects the light of the sun, but here's a scientific fact, in the oldest book of the Bible, the moon does not shine, it reflects sunlight, look at first chronicles chapter 1, first chronicles chapter 1, verse 19, there's even science tucked into the genealogies, how many of you get real excited when you're reading your Bible and you come to first chronicles chapter number 1, here's my chance to learn how to pronounce all these weird names, first chronicles chapter 1 verse 19, and unto Eber were born two sons, name of them was Peleg, it's a weird name, I wonder if he tried to pronounce that differently because in his days the earth, I wonder if he had a dog, anyway because in his days the earth was divided and his brother's name, now come on wouldn't you be bitter if your name was Peleg and your brother had a cool name like Joktan, his brother's name was Joktan, but what happened in the days of Peleg, let's call him Peleg because in his days the earth was divided, continental drift theory, remember learn about that in science class, Pangea, the earth is all one land mass and then it splits apart and it moves apart and we have continents, listen the Bible wrote about that in the book of first chronicles, these events are 4000 BC or a little bit sooner and God gave the writer of first chronicles this scientific understanding of continental drift, look at Ecclesiastes chapter 1.

"First Timothy chapter number six, we are discussing the evidence that there is for the inspiration of scripture. We believe the Bible to be the word of God written, pinned, written down, recorded by 40 different men in three languages over a period of 1600 years, but evidently with one author and that author being almighty God who created us to have relationship with him and loves us and so he's revealed himself to us in writing through what we call the Holy Bible.

The Bible Recap
"peleg" Discussed on The Bible Recap
"Did it surprise you that we started another new book today? Welcome to first chronicles. We'll be popping in and out of this book over the next month. Then we'll drop in and out of second chronicles for the three months after that. These two books used to be one book, but they were divided because of scroll length. In our chronological timeline, we're currently at the time of David, which is roughly 1000 years BC, and these two books were written at roughly 500 BC to chronicle Israel's history, like the Bible recap, but before podcast and much more condensed. And on a scroll. So every time we drop into this book, we'll be getting a little bonus recap about something we just read. The purpose of chronicles is to remind Israel where they came from, which should also serve to give them hope for the future. In a few days, I'll tell you why it was so important for them to have this book and these genealogy specifically. The book starts us way back at the beginning. In fact, the first word of first chronicles one one is Adam. This is going to be such a good refresher for us and I believe it will really help us to commit more of this to memory as well as stir up a few things in our hearts. So don't tap out here of some of this feels repetitive. You don't want a little repetition to knock you off your game. In fact, Rhett's are how you develop strength. Keep looking for God and for new things each day even in the things that feel familiar or boring. But for what it's worth, chronicles does spice things up a bit. It adds in some new stories that aren't recorded elsewhere and it leaves a few things out as well. Typically chronicles adds positive stories and subtracts negative ones. That may sound deceptive but one thing I love about the Bible is that it doesn't let chronicles off the hook. God has given us other books to help flesh out the story more fully. If you read a story in second Samuel one day and then first chronicles the next day, sometimes there will be new details that jump off the page at you that weren't in the other account. Today we had two chapters of genealogies tracing the story of the family we've been following. And I know that for most people, those aren't super fun to read, but let's see what we can find out about who God is in the midst of all these impossible to pronounce names. On days like this, I like to have the Bible app read to me, that's when it becomes clear to me that half the name sound like diseases and the other half sound like medications, so it all works really well together. You probably noticed right away that the early genealogies are really compressed and some aren't even complete sentences. Describe was probably like, I have to write down 3500 years worth of people. So who has time for verbs? Nimrod may have caught your eye in one tin because the verse says he was the first person on earth to be a mighty man. We first read about nimrod and genesis ten, which mentions that he was a mighty hunter before the lord. Two things worth mentioning here. First, some commentators think this was an entire people group of hunter warriors, not just one person. Second, the name nimrod became a slang term for someone who was foolish. It was popularized by Bugs Bunny, who used it to refer to Elmer fudd, who was a hunter. So it just makes me think that the people over at Looney Tunes are better theologians than our old friends, the renaissance painters. Some cartoonist has been reading his Bible. Another person who caught my eye was peleg, because one 19 tells us that in his days the earth was divided. What's that about? We first met peleg briefly back in genesis ten 25, which was right before the Tower of Babel. The incident where God created multiple language which served to separate the people. It's likely but not certain that this is the division that text is referring us back to. However, some people think this points to continental drift theory and the way plate tectonics have impacted the globe. The second chapter has us mostly hovering over the lineage of the tribe of Judah. That's because David comes from this tribe, so the author naturally wants to highlight his family because there Israeli royalty. As these genealogies continue in the following chapters, some of the other tribes barely even get mentioned at all. Naphthalene gets a sentence fragment. Chapter two verse 7 mentions Aiken and refers to him as the traveler of Israel. We met him back in Joshua 7 after the Israelites made their first raid in the promised land and took the city of Jericho, Aiken is the one who stole some of the things devoted to God and hid them in his tent and how did that trouble the whole nation? You may remember that their next battle was against AI and they lost 36 men. God said it was because there was sin in the camp. Aiken confessed and they stoned him. 36 men and all of akins family died because of his greed. Trouble or indeed. God shots are hard on genealogy days, aren't they? I won't pretend it came to me right away. But after I zoomed out on this and saw what caught my attention, I tried to look at what those things indicated to me about who God is. The things that jumped out at me were those three people we just talked about. Nimrod the mighty hunter, peleg, who lived in the days when the earth was divided, and Aiken, the trouble of Israel. In this genealogy, we have someone who it seems as being praised, nimrod, the mighty hunter, then we have someone who is identified more by the things around them than by the things they've done personally, peleg, the wallflower maybe, and finally we have Aiken, who is known for bringing trouble and death to God's people with his idolatry. To me, this points out how God uses every story, from the great, to the terrible, to the person who never does anything that history considers significant. We're all written into his story of redemption. He sees us all one by one. And genealogies are a reminder of that. They may be boring, but he's not. He's where the joy is. When I mention the Trinity, what do you think about? Does it spark your interest, but then you feel overwhelmed because the Trinity can be so hard to understand? If so, great news, that's why I wrote a Bible study about the Trinity. It's called he's where the joy is, getting to know the captivating God of the Trinity. It's a 7 session study that will give you a greater understanding of who the persons of the Trinity are, and I really think that deeper understanding will help you fall even more in love with the father son and spirit..

"Mary Louise Kelly and I'm Ari Shapiro, During a Pride month event in Orlando last month of a secretary Denis McDonough, announced that the Department of Veterans Affairs will provide gender confirmation surgery for transgender veterans. This lifts a longstanding ban on such surgeries, and Secretary McDonagh joins us now to talk about it. Welcome. Thank you, Ari. There has been a push to lift this band for a long time, including during the Obama administration when you were White House chief of staff, So having been part of the conversations then and now tell us about what changed to make this happen. Oh, well, you know, Ari, the most important thing about this decision as it came to me as a uniform unanimous recommendation from the governing body that oversees What health services we provide at via, and they unanimously recommended that we begin to provide this service based on the simple finding that those transgender veterans who suffer from gender this for you and who get treated in this way, have a dramatically better I'll work on mental health and, uh as against serious questions like suicide than those who do not. So I think they thought this was best clinical outcome. Can you tell us about how President Biden's view on? This might have evolved since he was vice president when the VAD directive was that the Department quote does not provide sex reassignment surgery. You know, the president has been very clear since the moment he offered me the job here that I should be and fierce advocate for veterans, and when he said that, he said, for all veterans And that's the way he's run his administration. That's what he expects of me to make sure that we're doing the best that we can offering world class health care and timely access to benefits for all veterans. The they veterans of color or LGBT. Q. Plus veterans. Our job is to get them all the service and the care that they've earned. There are an estimated 134,000 transgender veterans in the U. S today, and another 15,000 serving in the armed forces. So when can these people expect to be able to use this policy? When will be implemented? Yes. So we're in the midst. Now we've begun the rulemaking process, Ari. That's important for a couple of reasons. One. We have to do this pursuant to statute and to we have to do it publicly subject to public comment, So we'll want to hear the public's comment on this and obviously will address those concerns as they are in those comments as they come. We anticipate that process will take us the next two years or so to be in a position to provide the care, and we estimate about 543 veterans annually will be eligible for the surgery. So we think these are both important numbers but manageable numbers inside our current budget envelope, For example, you mentioned the budget. The last push to reverse this ban in 2016 fell apart amid concerns about funding. Do you have an estimate of what the cost might be? You know, the cost projection is from anywhere from just over a million dollars a year to somewhere closer to $30 million a year. We also assassin might get a little bigger than that, because we assess that there may be as many as 3000 veterans who would have this care and if they could get it, the was waiting for it. So if that's the case, it could get up to as much as 71. Million dollars, all in by 2028. So these are obviously big numbers. We take great care to spend the taxpayer's money wisely, but we also think that these are manageable numbers. And over time, if we make this investment will save costs on things like mental health care, treatment and other healthcare problems that would result of our transgender vets, not having access to this care. If I could ask you one question on a different subject before we conclude the last U. S troops are leaving Afghanistan after 20 years, And I wonder what your message is to veterans of the war in Afghanistan who, seeing this might feel like their sacrifices were in vain. I would say this to our veterans. Thank you. We went to Afghanistan, as the president said today, not to nation build, but to bring justice to those who carried out 9 11 to bring justice to Osama bin Laden and to ensure that Afghanistan will never be used again as a training base to attack us. Our veterans who deployed their ensured that we met those objectives. And so we say, thank you if there are veterans who are feeling like they are struggling as a result of what they're seeing on the ground. I say to them, Please come. Tuva. We're here to help. We have services across the full range of questions that any of our vets may have. But the overwhelming thing I have to say to our veterans is thank you. And on top of that we're here to serve. As Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Denis McDonough. Thank you very much. Thanks so much, Terry. Fireworks are one of the flashiest summer light shows. But closer to ground is another quieter spectacle. That beautiful dance of light in the woods put on by fire flight. So next time you're out, try paying attention to something more the rhythm of their flashes because, like the best dancers, some swarms have plenty of it. The phenomenon of fireflies in sync has been known for hundreds of years, going back to the 15 hundreds when Sir Francis Drake And his crew are traveling around the world, and they saw the spectacular displays of Male fireflies on the river banks in Thailand and Malaysia gathered in mangrove trees, all flashing in perfect unison. All night Long. Steven Strogatz of Cornell, not a biologist but a mathematician. He came up with the first model to describe this phenomenon and mathematically it's very mysterious because In math terms were studying an enormous system of interacting so called oscillators things that have a rhythm that go through a cycle. And in this case, the cycle of flashing periodically, physicists from the University of Colorado Boulder wanted to investigate some of the mystery behind that effect. So they packed their cameras and headed to the Smoky Mountains in June last year to see one particularly rhythmic species put on its show, so it's a flash flash flash flash flash and then quiet for a few seconds And then again flash flash flash. And the flash parties is again in unison where many fireflies flash together. Oric, Peleg and her colleagues filmed those fireflies flashing in sync night after night. Then they created a three d reconstruction of that swarm and found that fireflies need to reach critical density before the rhythm kicks. In. Here's plugs co author Rafael Serfaty, the flashes tend to move Pretty rapidly, but not not instantly from one point of this forum to I know there, so it's really a propagation effects very similar to a wave a wave of flashing information or relay almost where the fireflies sink themselves with those nearby, sending waves of light through the forest where you know firefighters that are further away, start flashing in the birth and then a little bit closer to you and a little bit closer to you, and then they passed by and it can really experience this wave. That's just beautiful. The study was published in science advances. Now this light show is so complex. It's brought together the fields of math, physics and biology, and though it's rare among American species Serfaty recommends watching your nearby fireflies. And maybe you will notice something. You know that that is unexpected. Or maybe you'll feel like they are indeed, uh, on a dialogue sometimes and responding to.

He's the reason why everyone on twitter does or promote intermittent fasting But he does reverse pyramid training only like two to three times a week. So what that is is like you have You're heavy lifts. Your main lifts first and then you do like four to six reps for the first two sets and then you do a twelve reps for the second to set. So it's like a mixture of the strength in hypertrophy type train right not super specialized in one or the other and so. I took that because i really enjoy. I enjoy doing heavy lifts. Every time i go to the. I love doing the four to six range every single time. I go to the gym rather than like week or doing that. All the time for every lift And then both. So what were talking about any of the compound lifts so i do push peleg's so i took that from. I learned that from matt.

Lifts is dead lifts as like a leg slash full body workout So that's the thing i do push peleg's with reverse pyramid training so on the big lifts you do the low reps first and then you do the high reps and then you go onto one or two isolation exercises do that and then the way that actually do the reps so for the heavy heavy sets the forty six rep range.

You got a fancy job description you getting you know. There's a lot of positive reinforcement to let you know you're making progress. And meanwhile says the creative sat there in there. You know rented room looking at the laptop. What if i go to show for it and there's nobody there. There's no very few external markers to say. Yeah now you're a senior author or you're s make an intermediate channel clairol or whatever and yet the thing that i so i thought about us. What is the difference between the creative who has really made progress to the point. Where things get that bit easier where they're making more money with opportunity. Is there for them whether they're connecting with an audience and it struck me that there is a started with creative work. If you've got a portfolio of great work that can generate money just purely from the back catalogue sales in some cases out but also it can generate opportunity. People say oh you you were an ex show or you've got credit on x. Movie you've worked with these other clients. You can probably do a great job for me. There's also the intellectual property aspect of that and it struck me that these are assets in the sense of an asset. In the you know the traditional accounting sense is something that you you buy or you obtain or you create in order to generate ongoing values so you might buy a property and then rented how you might buy stock portfolio and then hopefully if the market goes the right way you get revenue back from it. And it's not a replacement for that but it struck me that if we think about our strategy for progressing our career and also finding fulfillment in terms of creating assets if you create great work if you smart about how you develop the intellectual property of that you can create social assets like a brand or a network a core website remaining list or even those social media followings You can you may have an artistic reputation within your field. You may be known as the person who does great work. You know you may not be known so well in the general public but people in your industry now you and you might have business assets as well you might have a a product you might have a accompany. You might have a team that you've developed and also the biggest asset of all as creative is you. You are the one who you're the. You're the goose that can produce the golden eggs all the learning all the knowledge or the skills or the experience. Even the suffering. But you have gone through that makes you uniquely you and that has shaped your talent and your ability to the point where you can do things. You couldn't do ten years ago. Even five years ago and this lifelong learning and personal development i think is so important for creative and so coming back to your original question. I always encourage clients to focus on. What assets are you going to create. That will put you on the map in your industry and your artistic field and also what. This is the kind of thing that's going to be reflected on your tombstone. The person who wrote x. Or who produced y you know again. This is where the market in the passion come together because in order to create something that is going to be truly valuable and original on some level. If you you're going to be passionate about that is connect express some truth about who you are as a person and the bad news is there's no guarantee so i mean we've all gone plenty of manuscripts. It didn't work or products it float to bishen showed ideas for careers that that never worked out. And the other thing is you know. There's this on any given day. There's no external reinforcement to tell you to do that. I mean you know this. That was the first day writing the book. There's nobody there to say gone. Go for it you get. You did the first page mean when you've published. Hopefully there are people who say. Isn't it great. You wrote a boat that's fantastic. You've gotta push on in that space where there are no guarantees and no external reinforcement. But you've got a hunch. I'm onto something here and i wanna do it. So probably you're going to have a few prototypes and failures in inverted commas. Before you develop your first real asset but way you want to get to is appoint way you've got a decent back. Catalog could portfolio a good network and audience a brand or reputation and maybe a starting to find license saying an otherwise exploiting the intellectual property. And at that point you get up in the morning. Your posted to kate bush. Who because she is who she is and she's done what she has done. Opportunity comes to her and things get easier It's funny because people always ask me about the benefits of writing a book. And i think the the funny thing and even having done this for years ago. I'm unemployable but i realized for having done the projects that i've done having built the show that had done if i went now back to a corporate role i would be able to bring so much value that i couldn't when i was younger. But the thing that i think struck me most. I realized there's a very high possibility that i'll never get to do another book with a publisher again but the greatest value that came from that process was to be able to look at a very very ambiguous idea. Work on it for a really long time and transform it into a reality. And i thought well. That's a skill. You can apply to damn near anything so you i mean it's funny because you know you just gave me an idea for another blog posts about the no two types of secretive should have tangible and intangible intangible assets for the ones that we tend to really undervalue a second woman yesterday who is in one of our unmistakable. Prime coaching program turned out that she was the brand manager for the american marketing association. And i was like. Do you have any idea how valuable your knowledge is like. Wait a minute seriously as like you should be teaching courses for us You know. I mean literally things. We tend to overlook that so often we overlook the intangible assets because we focus so much on a tangible absolutely and i look over my poetry for years. I remember talking to peleg top. My coach one day and he was going. What are you talk about your poetry. More and i was like well you know. Most people aren't really interested in poetry. And he he looked at me he said.

So happy back to keith. Keith is driving. His daughter puts a beanie baby over his shoulder for comfort. He said in their view. I noticed how the little beanie baby was hugging my shoulder and was staying put right there as drove. The first thing that came to my mind was what have you blanket. That was full with these little beads and the whole blanket would feel like it was hugging. That does sound nice. And so the first way to blink born do you know. Do you know which maybe it was. It was pugsley the pug so cute. Did you have any babies. my god. We're nineteen ninety-one say. Do you remember the whole. Mcdonald's beanie babies the middle east and then they were like they were replica. Sort of the bigger ones to pretend like they're the baby's yes. My dad went to get lunch at mcdonalds.

But i'm sure. What are you right on. Their chestnuts supposed to feel like your hand. Let's that hope. That helped me a lot of okay. Well let's get to know. Yeah and i mean. Toddler sleep in general just suck so there's a lot of alternatives to that. I agree to go. On to say a weighted blanket may also be unsuitable for people with certain conditions including obstructive sleep apnea which causes disrupted sent me which causes disrupted breathing during sleep asthma. Which can cause difficulty breathing at night and claustrophobia. Which tightness of a weighted blanket may trigger. Okay so those poor people things claustrophobia. Who would probably benefit from away blanket or a shame. I know right so assuming are got clean. Bill of hall green light to go wait a blanket. Considering purchasing i first thing to consider as the weight of the blanket and health flying goes on to say as a general rule. Awaited blanket should be five to ten percent of your body weight. The waited like also should fit snugly to the size of the bed which is interesting because a lot of them are just for your body. But we'll talk about that second. So adults can use medium to large weighted blankets ranging from twelve to thirty pounds. Twenty seventy on child. Small boyd blanket should be three to eight pounds. A thirty two hundred thirty pound child. A medium weight on blanket should waive from five to fifty amounts of older adults may want you small medium weighted blankets ranging from five pounds. So if i was going to get a little miss dotty here here puppy a waited like it. Have you heard of thunder all wrong talking about the killing it here right on the money now. So what are the. What are the price ranges I will say we could never get one because she is fourteen pounds of like the weight of our regular blankets probably enough Price ranges so the cheapest is all was target but stay typically range from wanna target with twenty five bucks and then a lot of times like i wanted a nicer ones. But like if you're if you're willing to put more money into it you can get if you wanted the boozy cocoon. Yes boozy cooking hashtag. Tm those range from like a hundred. Three hundred arbitrary. You could find some for more so yeah if you want. The product were blanket. Yes sizes are available. There are times so just like with anything though actually looking at size you're buying. I don't know if you have this problem at all. Buy something online and like no actually dimensions and it's bent news so some weighted blankets. Just cover your body and then some or for the size of your bed. Incoming defense say you're like i have a king size bed and my husband has sleep apnea so he uses a A cpac waited like it would not be that idea for him. I don't know. I don't 'cause like above the blanket so i think what set obstructive sleep here i the i wonder what they define as obstructive if he if he's like i do everything and i shouldn't have but i think it could work for. You are worried that you could just do the single just for you yes. So what are we to blake. It's made out while some are made from tiny glass beads that are the size of grains of sand and then some are made from plastic pellets. But there are some that had like a knitted look to them so it's it. They're less traditional than your average comforter. are there any that are terrible for the environment. Yeah yeah so. Please keep an eye out for products. That are ethically produced like luke where they are made they made from. What is i looked plastic pellets. Probably not great for the environment. So yeah i know. When i was looking to buy one there was one that was like it was so it was so it was river. Stones from river lake lakes rocks a small. I know and i was like i really at But it was really. Oh and then somebody gave me the plastic pallets that outside. It's free. it's me mega things. Should i keep in mind. I'm you should think about. What type of sleeper are you. Do you hot. Do you need more breathe ability. Do you want one with removable. Covers wash it. Yeah that makes sense especially if you have like animals to oh my god totally also look at the distribution of the weight. Like you don't want the wait to be distributed unevenly while you sleep on wonder why is all this like stopped by my feet and nothing. My face that makes sense that makes sense. Okay yeah feel like waking up and having like only a bunch of data on your feet could be. Oh yeah that's a very good point. Okay so what about pets and lincoln. According to jewish dot com similar to the weighted blanket recommendation for us humans blanket or weighted product. Your pet sleeps beneath should be less than ten percent of their body weight. So for example. A ten pound cat shouldn't be under more than weight. Shouldn't be under more than one pound in a twenty pound pup should only up under a blanket. That's two pounds or less okay. So i have some massive cats. they'd probably thinks alaska they'd be happy. Thirteen fourteen zero should probably offer daddy. Daddy diverging i'd be very scared.
