0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | Before we dig into our chapters today, let's zoom out a little on this situation to make |
0:17.2 | sure we're addressing some of the possible nuances of these prophecies. |
0:21.6 | Yesterday we left off with Edam being turned into a sticky, smelly |
0:24.7 | wasteland covered in weeds and birds. It represented a kind of undoing of |
0:29.6 | creation, much like the flood when God destroyed Earth 1.0 and then opened Earth 2.0 for business. |
0:36.0 | When God first made Earth 1.0, the words he used to describe it in Genesis 1, 22 were without form and void, |
0:43.8 | shapeless and empty, basically. |
0:46.1 | The Hebrew words used here are Tohu and Boohu. |
0:49.6 | And in yesterday's description of that wasteland in 3411, both of those words are used again. |

1:20.8 | the ransom captives are brought back to the land. |
1:24.0 | So to understand this section well, we have to ask, does this refer to the time around 700 |
1:28.6 | BC when this was written, or is this a future prophecy of the final days? |
1:33.0 | And if you had a chance to watch the short video we linked to about the day of the Lord, |
1:37.5 | you may be wondering, |
1:38.5 | is this A day of the Lord or is this The Day of the Lord? If you missed that video, we'll link to it again in today's show notes. |
1:46.0 | A popular opinion among scholars is that it's both. |
