9. 0:24family. Welcome to day 275 here on the
10. 0:27Bible department podcast. My name is Dr.
11. 0:30Manny Orango and we are ending book two
12. 0:34of the Psalms today. Typically we do
13. 0:37about three Psalms. We study, look at,
14. 0:40examine about three Psalms at a time,
15. 0:42but today we're going to look at four
16. 0:44Psalms because it is the end of book
17. 0:48two. So, tomorrow we'll be cracking open
18. 0:52cracking open book three of the Psalms.
19. 0:56So, hopefully you have read Psalm 69,
20. 1:0070, 71, and 72. Uh, Psalm 70. I'm pretty
21. 1:06sure it's Psalm 70. Yeah, Psalm 70 is
22. 1:08super super short. So, I hope that
23. 1:10you've done the reading. If you haven't
24. 1:11done the reading, I strongly urge you, I
25. 1:16encourage you to stop the video, pause
26. 1:18the audio, go get the reading done so
27. 1:20that you have proper context for what we
28. 1:23are going to discuss in today's episode.
29. 1:26All right, like every day, we're going
30. 1:28to start out with context clues and I'm
31. 1:31going to give you some nerdy nuggets.
32. 1:32And I'm always going to leave you with a
33. 1:33timeless truth because these are not
34. 1:36videos that are designed to be history
35. 1:38lessons. These videos are designed to
36. 1:41help you to understand the book that
37. 1:44we've been given by God called the Bible
38. 1:47and understand the author of said book.
39. 1:50So always will leave with a timeless
40. 1:53truth. So I'm going to give you context
41. 1:55as much context as I've got. Okay? I
42. 1:58can't create context for things that we
43. 2:00don't know the context for. So Psalm 69
44. 2:03is an individual lament of David. Now
45. 2:06that is all we know. We can try to make
46. 2:10a best guess, but all we know is that
47. 2:12this is an individual lament of David.
48. 2:15Psalm 70 is another individual lament.
49. 2:19However, this is also designed as a
50. 2:23memorial offering psalm. That's right. A
51. 2:27memorial offering psalm. There is a kind
52. 2:31of sacrifice in the Bible that's a
53. 2:34memorial sacrifice or a memorial portion
54. 2:37of certain sacrifices. You can get the
55. 2:40context for this in Leviticus 2:2,
56. 2:43Leviticus 2:9, Leviticus 2:16, Leviticus
57. 2:475:12, Leviticus 6:15, Leviticus 24:7,
58. 2:53and Numbers 5 26. Okay, there's a
59. 2:56memorial portion for certain sacrifices.
60. 2:59And not only is this an individual
61. 3:02lament, but one of the things that we're
62. 3:04supposed to lament is our own sin. And
63. 3:08so this psalm is supposed to accompany
64. 3:12an animal sacrifice or it's supposed to
65. 3:14accompany the grain offering that at
66. 3:17times accompanied an animal sacrifice or
67. 3:20even replacing them if the petitioner
68. 3:23could not afford to sacrifice an animal.
69. 3:26So in some cases if the person offering
70. 3:30their offering to the Lord couldn't
71. 3:33afford an animal, they would only give a
72. 3:35grand offering. And so that is the
73. 3:37memorial portion of the offering. It's
74. 3:39the grain. Okay? Never the actual fat
75. 3:42for the animal, but the grain. All
76. 3:44right? We'll get into why this is
77. 3:46important later, but that's Psalm 70.
78. 3:48Psalm 71. We've got another individual
79. 3:52lament. Now, a lot of people believe
80. 3:55that this is an old man. He's an unnamed
81. 3:59old man. He's he may be the old man from
82. 4:02the Cracker Barrel logo. Who knows? I
83. 4:04don't know. That's funny. We They We got
84. 4:07that old logo back. Okay, I know that.
85. 4:09Anyway, so this is an unnamed old man
86. 4:14that is recounting God's faithfulness.
87. 4:17That's what's happening in Psalm 71. And
88. 4:20then so we get three individual laments
89. 4:23back to back to back. Psalm 69, 70, and
90. 4:2671. And then to end book two, we are
91. 4:31going to get the first and only psalm of
92. 4:35King Solomon. That's right. The first
93. 4:38and only psalm of Solomon. And this is
94. 4:42going to be a royal psalm or as we have
95. 4:45grown to refer to these a messianic
96. 4:49psalm. Now messianic doesn't mean that
97. 4:52it's prophesying about the person of
98. 4:53Jesus. Messianic simply means that the
99. 4:56Messiah is God's anointed one aka the
100. 5:00king. Okay. So there's a capital M
101. 5:02messiah that is going to be Jesus the
102. 5:04Christ the anointed one. Okay. Christ
103. 5:08means king. Okay. Or lowercase M
104. 5:11messiah. Like there are multiple
105. 5:14lowercase M messiahs even though there's
106. 5:16only one uppercase M messiah. I think
107. 5:19you get the point. All right. So, that
108. 5:22is as much context as I can give for
109. 5:26these four Psalms that are concluding
110. 5:29book two. Let's dive into some nerdy
111. 5:31nuggets. Okay, Psalm 69 is going to get
112. 5:34quoted three times in the New Testament.
113. 5:37We're going to look at two of those uh
114. 5:39particular quotations. Okay, this long
115. 5:42psalm is an individual lament of David
116. 5:44who has faced much injustice in his life
117. 5:48but whose sense of injustice for others
118. 5:50is still strong. It contains two
119. 5:53particular lines that will be used by
120. 5:55the gospel writers centuries later about
121. 5:58the son of David. Okay, Psalm 69:9 says
122. 6:02this, "For zeal for your house has
123. 6:05consumed me." This is David's words.
124. 6:08Zeal for your house has consumed me.
125. 6:10This is going to get used in the book of
126. 6:12John, okay, by John the gospel writer in
127. 6:15chapter 2:1 17 when Jesus overturns the
128. 6:18tables of the money changers in the
129. 6:21temple. The disciples when they see him
130. 6:23do this, remember this line from King
131. 6:26David from Psalm 69 and see that Jesus
132. 6:31shares his great great great great
133. 6:33ancestors zeal for the house of Yahweh.
134. 6:38John sees this as David prophesying
135. 6:42through this psalm about the son of
136. 6:45Yahweh, okay? About the son of God and
137. 6:48about David's actual descendant named
138. 6:51Jesus. Now, here's a side note. Paul is
139. 6:54going to use the other half of that same
140. 6:56verse. It says this, "And the reproaches
141. 6:59of those who reproach you have fallen on
142. 7:02me." when writing of Jesus's example of
143. 7:05taking on the burdens of others in
144. 7:07Romans 15:3. But although Romans 15:3 is
145. 7:12in the New Testament, it's not one of
146. 7:14the gospels. Okay? So, two verses are
147. 7:18going to get used in the gospels and
148. 7:20that is for zeal for your house has
149. 7:22consumed me. And also Psalm 69:21
150. 7:26says this, "And for my thirst, they gave
151. 7:29me sour wine to drink." Now we're going
152. 7:32to get this one in all four gospel
153. 7:35accounts. This line is used by all four
154. 7:38gospel writers. This can be found in
155. 7:40Mark 15:23, Matthew 27:48, Luke 23:36,
156. 7:46and John 19 29. All of them use this
157. 7:51line as a prophecy when Jesus is given
158. 7:54sour wine to drink while he's on the
159. 7:57cross. It is another example then of the
160. 8:00words of David being reflected in the
161. 8:03life of Jesus. It underscores how
162. 8:06important David is to the whole biblical
163. 8:08story. It is in many ways his story as
164. 8:13it is the story of the son of David.
165. 8:17Okay. So much of who Jesus is as the
166. 8:19Messiah is set up by David. David is in
167. 8:23many ways the type and shadow of Jesus.
168. 8:26Okay. by uh David's kingship, by his
169. 8:30dynasty, by devotion and loyalty to
170. 8:31Yahweh as king, by zeal for the temple,
171. 8:34and by his worship and words that shape
172. 8:37the life and ministry of the son of the
173. 8:41king. Okay, so David's a big deal. Okay,
174. 8:44last thing I'll say about Psalm 69 and
175. 8:47then we'll keep it moving is that uh
176. 8:49Psalm 69:es 34-36 give us an insight
177. 8:53into how these psalms were sung and the
178. 8:56participation involved. Okay, this psalm
179. 9:00is an individual lament. It is one voice
180. 9:03yet it ends with a corporate voice.
181. 9:06Okay, with lines of corporate praise to
182. 9:08God. This was likely written so that
183. 9:11there would be a moment for the crowd to
184. 9:13join in the psalm making it
185. 9:16congregational in nature. The choir
186. 9:19would lead then all the people would end
187. 9:22the psalm praising God together. Okay,
188. 9:24here's a nerdy nugget from Psalm 70.
189. 9:26Okay, this is another individual event
190. 9:28and it is difficult to first see any
191. 9:30connection with the memorial offering
192. 9:33that we find in the title. There is
193. 9:36perhaps one part though that I think uh
194. 9:40we can see a connection. Chapter 70:5
195. 9:43Psalm 70:5 says this, "But I am poor and
196. 9:46needy. Hasten to me, oh God. You are my
197. 9:49help and my deliverer, oh Lord, do not
198. 9:52delay." Now, who is it who's going to
199. 9:56give a grain offering as opposed to an
200. 9:59animal sacrifice? That's right, the
201. 10:00poor. Okay. So, this little nugget right
202. 10:03here of I'm poor, the petitioner saying
203. 10:06I'm poor. I'm needy. And the heading
204. 10:09that says that this is connected to the
205. 10:11memorial offering in some way is how we
206. 10:14know that this memorial offering was
207. 10:18always a portion of a grain offering.
208. 10:20For many rituals and sacrifices, there
209. 10:22could be an element of grain that was
210. 10:25also offered. And for those a portion
211. 10:28would be burned on the altar as the
212. 10:30memorial portion, the part given totally
213. 10:32to Yahweh. But there would be another
214. 10:35important reason for offering grain and
215. 10:38that would be if you could not afford
216. 10:40the animal sacrifice that would be
217. 10:42necessary for that particular offering
218. 10:44for the particular offering that was
219. 10:46being made. The truly poor and needy
220. 10:48would offer grain as sacrifice and so a
221. 10:51portion would be given to Yahweh as a
222. 10:53memorial. Perhaps then that is why this
223. 10:56psalm is connected to being a memorial
224. 11:00offering but also being connected to
225. 11:03being poor and needy that they would be
226. 11:06remembered by Yahweh their salvation.
227. 11:09His salvation was not just available to
228. 11:11the rich and the powerful like David but
229. 11:14to all who are loyal to him. Man, that's
230. 11:17just beautiful that God allows poor
231. 11:21people, people who are truly
232. 11:23impoverished, to have an option so that
233. 11:25they could be included in the sacrifice.
234. 11:28I think that's just absolutely
235. 11:31incredible. One other thing that I want
236. 11:33to take note of, and we're going to go
237. 11:36back to Psalm 69. This is what makes
238. 11:38David so revolutionary is that although
239. 11:40he's living in the Old Covenant or an
240. 11:42Old Testament system and he's desiring
241. 11:45to build a temple where there's going to
242. 11:46be sacrifices, he begins to say things
243. 11:48like this. I will praise God's name in
244. 11:51song and glorify him with thanksgiving.
245. 11:55This will please the Lord more than an
246. 11:57ox, more than a bull with its horns and
247. 12:00hooves. What gives David the audacity to
248. 12:04think that he can please God by singing
249. 12:08as opposed to actually offering God
250. 12:10sacrifices? It's almost like two things
251. 12:13are happening. David knows like the
252. 12:15blood of lambs and bulls and goats don't
253. 12:17actually appease God. They appease our
254. 12:19guilt, but they don't appease God.
255. 12:21Second, like this is temporary. Like
256. 12:24there's going to be a day where we're
257. 12:25not going to offer animals anymore, but
258. 12:28we are going to continue to sing. And so
259. 12:30it's like David has this understanding
260. 12:32that what really pleases God is worship.
261. 12:36And even if worship is not the actual
262. 12:41sacrifice of a bull or an ox that
263. 12:44there's still a heart posture of worship
264. 12:47that pleases God. And it's verses like
265. 12:50this Psalm 69 30-31 that 100% drive me
266. 12:56to believe that um not to believe but to
267. 13:00understand why David is described as a
268. 13:04man after God's own heart. All right.
269. 13:06Psalm 71 is a psalm of individual
270. 13:09lament. Individual lament. And obviously
271. 13:13if you read it, it's written by an old
272. 13:15guy. We don't know what old guy, but
273. 13:17there are a couple clues here in Psalm
274. 13:1971 that the person writing it is pretty
275. 13:22old. Okay, number one, this is in verse
276. 13:249. Do not cast me away when I am old. I
277. 13:27don't think that's random. Like, I think
278. 13:30I think the man is like, "Hey, Lord, I
279. 13:32know I'm getting old. All right, don't
280. 13:33cast me away." All right. I was I I've
281. 13:36been praising you for a long time, but
282. 13:38now I'm getting old. I I still got I
283. 13:40still want to worship you, but don't
284. 13:41cast me away now that I'm old. Okay.
285. 13:43Then verse 17 says this, "Since my
286. 13:46youth, God, you have taught me, and to
287. 13:48this day I declare your marvelous deeds,
288. 13:51even when I am old and gray, do not
289. 13:53forsake me, my God, till I declare your
290. 13:56power to the next generation, your
291. 13:59mighty acts to all who are to come." And
292. 14:01honestly, I could give a timeless truth
293. 14:03right here. Like verse 22, I will praise
294. 14:06you with the harp for your faithfulness,
295. 14:08my God. I will pray sing praise to you
296. 14:10but the liar holy one of of Israel my
297. 14:13lips will shout for joy when I sing
298. 14:15praises to you I whom you have delivered
299. 14:19I mean I want to be an old man like in
300. 14:22church just skipping and laughing and
301. 14:25dancing and praising and singing like
302. 14:27and telling of God's works to the next
303. 14:30generation like I want to be this old
304. 14:33guy okay I want to be the old guy from
305. 14:35Psalm 71 and I think it's really really
306. 14:38special. Like uh I've been in a couple
307. 14:41of churches that are genuinely
308. 14:42intergenerational and multigenerational
309. 14:45and have generational diversity. And
310. 14:48when people in their 70s and 80s are
311. 14:50still like crying in God's presence and
312. 14:54still have a soft heart towards God, oh
313. 14:56my gosh, like it's so moving. It's so
314. 14:59moving that the the emotional part of
315. 15:04our relationship with the Lord has not
316. 15:06gotten stale for them. It's the same as
317. 15:08seeing old people who are still in love.
318. 15:10You're just kind of like, yo, man,
319. 15:12that's goals right there. Like, I want
320. 15:15to be old and still in love with my
321. 15:19wife. And in the same way, I want to be
322. 15:21old, still in love with the Lord. Okay,
323. 15:24family. The wait is over. My brand new
324. 15:28book, Crushing Chaos, is out now and
325. 15:31available everywhere books are sold.
326. 15:34Literally today, I walked into a Barnes
327. 15:37& Noble and I signed a bunch of copies
328. 15:40at a physical location. So, you can grab
329. 15:42this book at a physical Barnes & Noble
330. 15:45or you can go to a Books a Million or
331. 15:47Amazon or anywhere books are sold and
332. 15:50grab a copy. If you enjoy reading the
333. 15:53Bible from an ancient perspective, if
334. 15:56you understand that the beauty of
335. 15:58scripture is actually knowing it in
336. 16:00context, then you'll love this book. And
337. 16:03if there's any chaos in your personal
338. 16:05life, I think that reading the Bible
339. 16:08from an ancient perspective can actually
340. 16:10help to crush the chaos in your life. I
341. 16:13think this book is going to be a New
342. 16:14York Times bestseller. I really do. I
343. 16:16think we wrote a good one. I think you
344. 16:18should get a copy today. All right, back
345. 16:21to the episode. Psalm 72 is a royal
346. 16:24psalm celebrating the king and his
347. 16:27reign. And so Yahweh, the true king,
348. 16:29whose power and authority rest on the
349. 16:32king. Okay, so there's two layers of
350. 16:33meaning. Okay, the king is being
351. 16:36celebrated, but who's the real king?
352. 16:38Yahweh is the real king. Okay, the king
353. 16:40in question is Solomon. And as mentioned
354. 16:43above, it was either written for an
355. 16:46anniversary of his succession or in
356. 16:49preparation for his son's coronation.
357. 16:51Okay, those are the two events that
358. 16:53would have caused this to be written.
359. 16:54Now, one of the things that I want to
360. 16:56make really, really clear is obviously
361. 16:58the heading tells us that this is of
362. 17:01Solomon, okay? Right above Psalm 72. But
363. 17:05then verse 20 may be confusing because
364. 17:08says this concludes the prayers of
365. 17:10David, son of Jesse. So it's like, is
366. 17:12this psalm written by David, son of
367. 17:14Jesse, or is this psalm written by
368. 17:16Solomon? And the answer is the psalm is
369. 17:19written by Solomon. And that little
370. 17:22verse right there, verse 20, is actually
371. 17:25the verse that closes out book two. You
372. 17:28got to remember that book three is
373. 17:30Psalms 73 to 89. So there's a whole new
374. 17:35movement or book of the Psalms that's
375. 17:37about to start. So that little verse,
376. 17:39verse 20, is actually not closing out
377. 17:42Psalm 72. It's closing out the whole
378. 17:46entirety of book two. Okay, that was a
379. 17:48little confusing. I had to go on a a
380. 17:51search through a bunch of commentaries
381. 17:52to figure out what was going on in my
382. 17:54Bible. I literally wrote question mark
383. 17:56and I was like, "What is going on?" All
384. 17:59right, so here's what's happening. Psalm
385. 18:0272 is highlighting the fact that
386. 18:05Solomon's reign has been one of wealth
387. 18:08and power and fruitfulness. says this in
388. 18:11verses 8- 11. May he may Solomon have
389. 18:15dominion from sea to sea and from the
390. 18:18river to the ends of the earth. May
391. 18:20desert tribes bow down before him and
392. 18:22his enemies lick the dust. May the kings
393. 18:24of Tarses and of the coastlands render
394. 18:28him tribute. May the kings of Sheba and
395. 18:30Saba bring gifts. May all kings fall
396. 18:33down before him. All nations serve him.
397. 18:36These verses show what the obedience of
398. 18:39David in the early years of Solomon's
399. 18:42reign brought to Israel. Rest on all
400. 18:44sides, riches in power, just kings
401. 18:49redeeming their people. Like just I mean
402. 18:53not unjust, but just, right? Kings that
403. 18:55are just redeeming their people. The
404. 18:58nations flocking to Israel. This was
405. 19:00Israel as it was meant to be. That one
406. 19:04fleeting moment captured the glory of
407. 19:06Solomon in this psalm. This was how they
408. 19:10were meant to be. The priestly kingdom
409. 19:13that we looked at a couple psalms ago.
410. 19:15Okay, that Abrahamic psalm, that
411. 19:17priestly psalm, that harvest psalm that
412. 19:19we talked about, that was actually
413. 19:21Psalm, where is it? Psalm 67. All right,
414. 19:24this was Israel as it was meant to be.
415. 19:28Okay, this is how they were meant to be
416. 19:30the priestly kingdom, the center of the
417. 19:32world, the nations coming to Solomon and
418. 19:34learning about Yahweh. This is Israel
419. 19:37being a good witness. This is Israel
420. 19:40being so blessed that they are
421. 19:42attracting the attention of other
422. 19:44nations who want to now know how did you
423. 19:48accomplish this? The answer would be
424. 19:50faithfulness to Yahweh. Okay, this
425. 19:53immediately gets us into our Thomas
426. 19:55truth. There exist then two accounts of
427. 19:57the glory of Solomon's reign. Okay? One
428. 20:00in the first chapters of Kings and then
429. 20:03here in poetry form in Psalm 72. It is
430. 20:06good that we have both because part of
431. 20:09the Bible's job is to force us to hold
432. 20:13two truths in tension. Two truths don't
433. 20:17equal a contradiction. Two truths need
434. 20:19to be held in tension. That low-key
435. 20:21rhymes and so bars. It is good that
436. 20:25we've got both accounts as they give us
437. 20:27a more balanced picture of Solomon and
438. 20:32what we can learn from him. Kings is
439. 20:35going to paint a much more negative view
440. 20:38of Solomon's wealth and fame. The good
441. 20:41stories are there, but they are woven
442. 20:44into a larger narrative that tells us
443. 20:47about Solomon's downfall. His downfall
444. 20:50was based on his riches and his fame in
445. 20:52many marriages to the women or daughters
446. 20:57of kings of other nations, pagans. Yet
447. 20:59here in the Psalms, we see that same
448. 21:03those same riches and the same fame and
449. 21:06connection to the nations in a far more
450. 21:08positive light. In kings, Solomon's
451. 21:11wealth made him corrupt and brought
452. 21:13injustice to his people. But here that
453. 21:16same wealth brings blessing and
454. 21:18redemption. The message then is that it
455. 21:21is not the wealth, the fame, the success
456. 21:24or any accolades that bring downfall.
457. 21:27It's not large churches or mega churches
458. 21:29or book deals that bring a moral failure
459. 21:32to a pastor. That's that's not that's
460. 21:35not the problem. And sometimes in our
461. 21:37legalistic culture, it's like we're
462. 21:40leerary of anything that's like looks
463. 21:42like that. And I'm dealing with that
464. 21:43right now as a church planner. I won't
465. 21:46get into that, but seriously, I I'm
466. 21:48literally dealing with that exact thing.
467. 21:50So, it is not wealth, fame, success,
468. 21:55accolades that bring downfall. Those
469. 21:57things in and of themselves are not
470. 21:59inherently evil, but rather your
471. 22:02motives, why you got them in the first
472. 22:04place, and how you use them will dictate
473. 22:08whether they bring you down. And that's
474. 22:10not just true for Solomon. That's true
475. 22:12for me. That's true for you. A book deal
476. 22:16could be a massive blessing. A book deal
477. 22:18could ruin my life. The book deal is not
478. 22:21inherently sinful in any way, shape, or
479. 22:23form. But whether or not it's an idol
480. 22:26will be a test of whether or not that
481. 22:30thing grabbed my heart. So this how I
482. 22:33kind of I write things like in Google
483. 22:36Docs and I write them in my notes. is
484. 22:38the way that I write them in my notes is
485. 22:39like a little bit more devotional like
486. 22:42because it's literally I'm like I'm kind
487. 22:44of writing it for me. Holding the
488. 22:46tension between the account of Solomon
489. 22:48and Kings versus the one we have here in
490. 22:50Psalm 72 is a lesson that we have to
491. 22:54adopt for reading the Bible period
492. 22:56because the Bible is always going to
493. 22:57force us to hold things in tention.
494. 22:59Wealth is never inherently good or bad.
495. 23:02wealth, fame, accolades, success, a mega
496. 23:05church, none of that stuff is bad
497. 23:08inherently. It's not good or bad
498. 23:10inherently. Wealth is always a neutral
499. 23:14tool. It could be a hammer that builds
500. 23:16the life that God wants you to build, or
501. 23:19it could be a sledgehammer that
502. 23:21demolishes even the opportunity of
503. 23:24walking in the life that God has for
504. 23:26you. It is a tool or a weapon based on
505. 23:30how you choose to use it. I know there
506. 23:33are a lot of people who just throw the
507. 23:35baby out with the bath water. There are
508. 23:36a lot of people who were church hurt and
509. 23:38instead of realizing, hey, some
510. 23:41megaurches are toxic, some megaurches
511. 23:43are healthy, they are verbiages, I just
512. 23:45don't like megaurches at all. And it's
513. 23:47like, golly, man. Like, there's nothing
514. 23:50inherently wrong with a megaurch.
515. 23:51There's nothing inherently wrong with a
516. 23:53nice house. There's nothing inherently
517. 23:54wrong with a dope car. There's nothing
518. 23:56inherently wrong with a Rolex or a
519. 23:58luxury watch or anything. There's
520. 24:01nothing inherently wrong with anything.
521. 24:02However, if the thing is an idol, then
522. 24:06now we have a problem. And we get two
523. 24:09accounts here in the Bible. And I think
524. 24:11man, these two accounts help us to
525. 24:14actually see that the truth is somewhere
526. 24:16in the middle. And that middle is that
527. 24:18things are objectively neutral. and you
528. 24:22add positivity or negativity to it by
529. 24:25the way you engage with it. And that's
530. 24:27not just true for Solomon. That's true
531. 24:29for you. That's true for me. That is a
532. 24:32timeless truth. All right. Tomorrow
533. 24:34we're diving into book three of the
534. 24:36Psalms. We got Psalms 73, 74, and 75.
535. 24:41Can't wait to see you right here. Same
536. 24:43time, same place. I hope that you're on
537. 24:45a streak. If you are, I'm proud of you.

539. 24:48please. I love you guys so much. I'll
540. 24:50see you right here tomorrow. Peace.
