| 0:00.0 | Hi, my name's Father Mike Schmitz and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast, |
| 0:07.3 | where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. |
| 0:10.8 | The Bible in a year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. |
| 0:13.5 | Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, |
| 0:17.7 | discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. |
| 0:21.1 | It is day 100 and 47. We're reading from 1st Kings chapter 5, 2nd Chronicles, chapters 7 and 8. |
| 0:27.4 | We're also praying today, Psalm 66. As always, the Bible translation that I'm reading from |
| 0:32.2 | is the revised standard version. It's the second Catholic edition. And I am using the great |
| 0:36.1 | adventure Bible from Ascension to download your own Bible in a year reading plan. You can visit ascensionpress.com |
| 0:41.4 | slash Bible in a year. And if you have not yet subscribed to this podcast, you can subscribe |
| 0:45.9 | to this podcast. Like clicking subscribe. Very simple, very easy. As I said, it's day 147. |
| 0:51.7 | And that means, not only does it mean that we're almost to day 150, |
| 0:56.7 | which means halfway to day 300, which means closer to day 365, but it also means that shortly |
| 1:03.0 | after this, and maybe I would say roughly, I don't know, let's say, give or take seven days from |
| 1:07.9 | now, we're going to be having our second messianic checkpoint in seven days from now. So one week from today, we're having our second messianic checkpoint with the gospel of Mark. You would know this if you had downloaded the Bible in the air reading plan, but if you didn't, now you do. And it is awesome because we're going to get the chance, just like we did a while back with the Gospel of John. We're going to be able to walk |
| 1:27.6 | through this gospel in the middle of this whole story, right, with Solomon and the temple in Solomon |
| 1:32.3 | and building things in Solomon's wisdom. We're going to take a break and we're going to jump ahead |
| 1:36.6 | to Jesus and see how he is the fulfillment of everything that God has wanted his people to know |
| 1:42.9 | and not just to know, but to be. Oh, so that's where we're at now, |
| 1:47.1 | and that's where we're going to be in just a week from today. But as I said, it's day 147. We're reading |
| 1:52.2 | 1st Kings 5, 2nd Chronicle 7 and 8 in Psalm 66. The first book of kings chapter 5. Preparations and materials for the temple. |
