0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary
0:07.2	spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and
0:13.4	Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:25.3	All right, day five, the last two sayings of Christ on the cross.
0:33.2	John 1930. And when Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, it is finished. And he bowed his head and he gave up his spirit. Luke 23, 44, and following, it was now about the sixth hour,
0:38.5	and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, while the sun's light failed,
0:43.5	and the curtain of the temple was torn into, and then Jesus, calling out in a loud voice,

1:37.1	So the question when Jesus says, what is finished?
1:39.7	Or the question is, what is finished?
1:42.7	When Jesus says it is finished, this is what he means that he came
1:47.1	and accomplished everything that the father had sent him to accomplish in genesis chapter three
1:52.2	god says to to to eve i'm going to put enmity between your offspring and this serpent this devil
1:58.3	this satan this trickster this this, this rebellious one.
2:02.4	And one day there will come somebody from your line and this enemy is going to bruise his heel
2:09.0	and in so doing he's going to get his head crushed. When Jesus says it is finished, he is dealing
