Welcome to episode 176 of Bible Talk, a podcast brought you by Nine Marks.

Nine Marks exists to help pastors build healthy churches.

And this podcast is also brought you by Southern Seminary.

One of these days I'm going to get this.

Southern Seminary exists to educate, train, and equip gospel ministers for a lifetime of more faithful service. Two websites you could visit to learn more would be sbts.edu and nine marks.org slash talk. I mean, a few weeks ago, we repeated a chapter, so I feel like we're just losing my mind here. Is this a new hat? No. You got that when you went to the Masters. Yeah. When did you go? 23. I just read that that's like the hardest ticket to get in all of sports. Well, you can't get it. They give it to you. It's like the gospel. It's like forgiveness. How did you get someone to give you a ticket? Well, a friend of mine's boss is a member at Augusta. Oh, nice.

He hooked him up.

And we've been waiting for that hookup every year since. I've not received it, no. It starts this week. It starts today. It's a miracle I'm here. That's why you're wearing. Because I love you guys. Just kidding, Jonathan. I worked all day. Except when Louisville's in the FCAA tournament.

Louisville's in much madness.

We did not record that week. I worked all day. Except when Louisville's in the NCAA tournament.

Louisville's in March Madden.

We did not record that week.

That's all right.

John, that doesn't listen to this.

Okay.

There's a long lunch.

All right.

So here we go.

Before I get fired, today we're doing Isaiah 29.

And, you know, Isaiah 29 is really does dovetail obviously with the previous chapter so I want to just give us a quick

oh my goodness Israel and Ephraim right and this this week is more or less the same, but different.

That's a bad summary.
