In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month to 50,000

downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more positive reviews,

the more the algorithm picks us up. And more people are confronted by the law and gospel of Jesus

Rome is ours. It belongs to the Christian.

Babylon is ours. It belongs to the Christian.

And Canaan, it belonged to covenant Israel.

All that was there, there were certain things that God specified.

These devoted things belonged to my house.

Or these things should be burned with fire and destroyed.

But most of the plunder, God permitted Israel to take for themselves.

And so what we find as a principle is this. There are many treasures in Babylon or Canaan that are ripe for the Christian to plunder. Why? Because all truth is

God's truth. So whatever is true is true. Whether the church believed it or whether Babylon believed it.

If it's true, it's true.

Two plus two being four is true no matter what time or what place.

Because it's God's truth.

And if a particular place and a particular culture is good at engineering,

and Christians discover some of the things that they have learned and developed over decades or even centuries,

if those things are in fact true, we should take them.

So what we find at the end of verse 6 of our text today is unique.
