Today is the 14th day of November.

Center, almost center of the 11th month of the year. I'm Brian.

It's great to be here with you today.

And later, after we spend our time in the scriptures,

Jill and I are back for whatever this is.

A little debriefing of the grand adventure that we were on, so stay tuned for that.

It's been chilly here on the Rolling Hills of Tennessee since we got back.

So the global campfire, like in the the summertime like it's a place of comfort where

we're roasting our marshmallows but in this time the days get short and um and the year gets busy

the warmth of this campfire ah it, it is my safe place, and I am grateful to be here with you today.

As we take the next step forward.

And that next step forward leads us back into the book of Ezekiel today.

Chapters 29 and 30. In the 10th year, in the tenth month.

On the twelfth day, the word of the Lord came to me, Son of man.

Set your face against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all

Egypt.

Speak to him and say, this is what the sovereign Lord says.

I am against you, Pharaoh, King of Egypt.

You great monster, lying among your streams.

You say the Nile belongs to me.

I made it for myself.

But I will put hooks in your jaws and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales.
