Hello my name's Matt this is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast and I believe on other

occasions I've talked to you about my family's morbid enjoyment of videos

where things go horribly wrong on the internet and I believe I've also told you

before that we have a particular affinity for the instant karma genre of fail videos

that's the one where someone behaves in a way

they probably shouldn't and then just immediately it boomerangs on them.

Like somebody goes to kick a dog on some wet pavement. I saw this one the other day, but because the pavement's wet and they have

to go to the one leg to kick it, the standing leg goes out from under them and boom, they fall

down and the dog doesn't get kicked and you're like,'s just that's fantastic or the person who

behaves like a jerk in their car then is shaking their fist of people and

being rude I'm super sanitizing this for the youngsters and then they zip ahead to make a point

about how angry and inconvenience they are and they immediately like drive into a

pole or something. Yeah you get the idea. Well this instant karma, instant regret genre is one that's built

into the Bible. Whether you're new to the Bible and Christianity and all of these

stories or whether you've been around them for a long time, you can still

probably think of a few of these off the top of your head.

The super famous one is what happens in the exodus, right?

Pharaoh's like, we got gotta get these Hebrew slaves under control

and so we're gonna drown a bunch of their babies.

And then after the Egyptians,

kill all of the Hebrew male babies, of course, the final plague is the death of all of the Egyptian firstborn.

It boomerangs, it comes back around. The story of Esther with Hayman who creates some gallows and he's going to do some kind of mass execution and elimination of the Jewish people.
