9. 0:24family. Welcome to day 285.
10. 0:27We are looking at Psalms 99
11. 0:31101
12. 0:33today. For the past couple of days,
13. 0:35we've been in this mini collection of
14. 0:38Yahweh reigns psalms. Psalms that are
15. 0:41really focused on the kingship of
16. 0:44Yahweh, on the throne of Yahweh, on the
17. 0:47reigning and ruling of Yahweh. The
18. 0:50connection or the context really has
19. 0:53been David's reentering of the presence
20. 0:56of God in Jerusalem, the rebuilding or
21. 1:00the reestablishing of the tabernacle and
22. 1:03bringing the ark of the covenant back
23. 1:06where it belongs. So today we are
24. 1:09actually going to end this kind of
25. 1:11miniseries about the psalms that are all
26. 1:15focused on Yahweh's reign. All right,
27. 1:17we're going to finish that section and
28. 1:20we're going to look at these final three
29. 1:22Psalms. Now, I'll give you a precursor,
30. 1:24just kind of like a heads up. Psalm 101
31. 1:27is not technically a part of this little
32. 1:29mini collection, right? Psalm 99 and
33. 1:32Psalm 100 are. I think I told you a
34. 1:34couple days ago, everything from Psalm
35. 1:3593 to Psalm 100 are a part of this
36. 1:38little mini collection. However, Psalm
37. 1:41101 fits perfectly
38. 1:45after this collection, and there's a
39. 1:48small part of me that would love I I
40. 1:50kind of want it to get grafted in. But
41. 1:52anyway, I get why it's not, but I'll
42. 1:55make a case for that in a little bit.
43. 1:56All right. If you have not done the
44. 1:58reading for the day, then stop the
45. 2:00video, pause the audio, go get the
46. 2:02reading done, and then come back. All
47. 2:04right. Uh if you have done the reading,
48. 2:07then let's dive in. Like every day, I'm
49. 2:10going to give you context clues to help
50. 2:11you understand and orient yourself to
51. 2:14what's being written or what's being
52. 2:16read rather. And then I'm going to give
53. 2:19you some nerdy nuggets, some things that
54. 2:20you wouldn't have been able to know just
55. 2:22by reading it on your own. And then I'm
56. 2:25going to leave the episode, end the
57. 2:26episode with a timeless truth. I'm
58. 2:28really excited about our timeless truth
59. 2:30today. Let's dive into context. All
60. 2:32right. The context is Yahweh's triumphal
61. 2:36entry into Jerusalem to reign from his
62. 2:39tent, from his tabernacle. These psalms,
63. 2:42Psalm 99, and 100, they make sense
64. 2:45without context, right? You could read
65. 2:48Psalm, you can read Psalm 93, 94, 95,
66. 2:5196, 97, 98, 99, and 100 and they'll make
67. 2:55sense. Like they're reasonable, they're
68. 2:57logical. But the moment that you know
69. 2:59that okay these psalms are most likely
70. 3:02being sung uh as the ark of the covenant
71. 3:06has been at Oed Edom's house the ark of
72. 3:09the covenant has not been in its proper
73. 3:12place and David is putting the ark of
74. 3:16the covenant back in the tabernacle so
75. 3:18that worship like could actually begin
76. 3:22to to function again in all three areas
77. 3:25of worship not just the singing but the
78. 3:27service and the sacrifice. Okay? So that
79. 3:30temp that tabernacle worship can
80. 3:32actually do what it needs to do. Okay?
81. 3:35So that's the context. With no context,
82. 3:37these psalms are clear. Once you have
83. 3:39context, they become even clearer. I
84. 3:41want you to think about these psalms as
85. 3:44Yahweh's triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
86. 3:46Remember in the Gospels, Jesus is going
87. 3:48to have a triumphal entry into
88. 3:50Jerusalem. And once you realize, oh wow,
89. 3:53there was a triumphal entry into
90. 3:55Jerusalem in the Old Testament as well,
91. 3:57you can begin to make some connections
92. 3:59between the Old and New Testaments or
93. 4:02covenants. All right, let's dive into
94. 4:03some nerdy nerdy nuggets. Okay, family,
95. 4:06the wait is over. My brand new book,
96. 4:09Crushing Chaos, is out now and available
97. 4:12everywhere books are sold. Literally
98. 4:16today, I walked into a Barnes & Noble
99. 4:18and I signed a bunch of copies at a
100. 4:21physical location. So, you can grab this
101. 4:23book at a physical Barnes & Noble or you
102. 4:26can go to a Books a Million or Amazon or
103. 4:29anywhere books are sold and grab a copy.
104. 4:32If you enjoy reading the Bible from an
105. 4:35ancient perspective, if you understand
106. 4:38that the beauty of scripture is actually
107. 4:40knowing it in context, then you'll love
108. 4:42this book. And if there's any chaos in
109. 4:45your personal life, I think that reading
110. 4:48the Bible from an ancient perspective
111. 4:50can actually help to crush the chaos in
112. 4:52your life. I think this book is going to
113. 4:54be a New York Times bestseller. I really
114. 4:56do. I think we wrote a good one. I think
115. 4:58you should get a copy today. All right,
116. 5:02back to the episode. Psalm 99.
117. 5:04Immediately, you know, we kind of get
118. 5:06that same theme that we've been getting
119. 5:09in verse one. The Lord reigns. Let the
120. 5:12nations tremble. Okay. Why do the
121. 5:14nations need to tremble if the Lord
122. 5:15reigns? Well, it's because he doesn't
123. 5:17just reign as king over Israel. He
124. 5:21reigns as supreme king over all the
125. 5:24earth. Okay? And if the nations have
126. 5:27been in rebellion against God and have
127. 5:30not been submitted to the lordship of
128. 5:32God, then yes, they should be trembling
129. 5:35with fear now that Yahweh reigns. Okay.
130. 5:38Um, so the people definitely saw that
131. 5:43putting Yahweh in his tabernacle didn't
132. 5:46just have implications for how the
133. 5:48people of Israel were to be affected by
134. 5:50Yahweh, but how the nations are to be
135. 5:52affected by Yahweh. Okay, so the Lord
136. 5:55reigns. Okay, we've seen that those
137. 5:57words, those three words repeated over
138. 5:59and over and over again in this
139. 6:01collection of Psalms, this mini
140. 6:02collection says this, he sits enthroned
141. 6:05between the cherubim. All right. So, you
142. 6:08may be wondering, all right, what what
143. 6:10what does that mean? What does enthroned
144. 6:13between the cherubim mean? Well, the ark
145. 6:16of the covenant is going to have a mercy
146. 6:19seat on it. And there are cherubim that
147. 6:21are facing each other on top of the ark
148. 6:23of the covenant. So, this is ark
149. 6:26language. Okay? When when it says he
150. 6:29sits enthroned between the cherubim,
151. 6:31this is the presence of God that rests
152. 6:34between the two cherubim on the lid of
153. 6:38the ark of the covenant. The essentially
154. 6:41this gold box that we know is the ark of
155. 6:43the covenant. Okay? And so Yahweh sits
156. 6:46enthroned between the cherubim. This is
157. 6:49the biggest clue that we are definitely
158. 6:52talking about the ark being brought back
159. 6:55into Jerusalem to rest in the
160. 6:56tabernacle. Okay. Uh so this is called
161. 7:00the mercy seat. Okay. The mercy seat.
162. 7:03The place where once a year the high
163. 7:06priest goes with the blood of the lamb
164. 7:09and sprinkles what? Sprinkles the mercy
165. 7:12seat. Okay. In the holy of holies and
166. 7:15makes atonement for Israel. the mercy
167. 7:18seat. Okay? Yahweh sits enthroned on the
168. 7:22mercy seat is is another way to say
169. 7:24between the cherubim because what's
170. 7:26between the cherubim? The manifest
171. 7:28presence of Yahweh on his mercy seat in
172. 7:31order for Yahweh to sit amongst us. It
173. 7:35requires mercy. Okay? He his holiness
174. 7:40wants to kill anything that is not holy.
175. 7:44But God in his mercy, instead of his
176. 7:48wrath being poured out on us, his mercy
177. 7:51begins to abate that wrath so that we
178. 7:54can experience the manifest presence of
179. 7:56Yahweh. It's actually an incredible
180. 7:57thing. Let the earth shake. Great is the
181. 8:00Lord in Zion. Remember Zion is
182. 8:02essentially Jerusalem. Okay, Jerusalem.
183. 8:05He is exalted over all the nations. Let
184. 8:07them praise your great and awesome name.
185. 8:10He is holy. All right. The king is
186. 8:14mighty. He loves justice. You have
187. 8:16established equity. And Jacob, you have
188. 8:18done what is just and right. Exalt the
189. 8:21Lord our God and worship at his
190. 8:24foottool. So now things flip. A moment
191. 8:26ago, the the ark was the throne or the
192. 8:31seat of Yahweh. And now it's the
193. 8:34foottool of Yahweh because Yahweh
194. 8:38essentially declares the the heaven is
195. 8:41my throne and the earth is my foottool.
196. 8:44So what we have is that in the
197. 8:46tabernacle we have two realms
198. 8:49overlapping. I love to use Narnia as an
199. 8:52example of an overlap between Earth and
200. 8:56Narnia. Well, the wardrobe is both. It's
201. 9:00both Narnia and earth. And then the same
202. 9:03way the tabernacle and then later the
203. 9:06temple is supposed to be like a ven
204. 9:08diagram where there's heaven on one side
205. 9:10and earth on the other side. Everything
206. 9:12that overlaps is heaven and earth. And
207. 9:14the temple is supposed to connect heaven
208. 9:17and earth. It's supposed to occupy or
209. 9:20both spaces. Both heaven and earth
210. 9:22occupy the temple. I was going to say
211. 9:24the temple occupy both spaces, but I
212. 9:26guess that's also true. But that overlap
213. 9:29is the temple. Okay, that space where
214. 9:32I'm in heaven, I'm also on earth is the
215. 9:34temple. And so it is both the throne,
216. 9:38but it's also the foottool. And then we
217. 9:40get this cool little part. Moses and
218. 9:43Aaron were among his priests. Samuel was
219. 9:47among those who called on his name. They
220. 9:49called on the Lord and he answered them.
221. 9:52Okay, so what what's going on? Why do we
222. 9:54get Moses and Aaron and Samuel mentioned
223. 9:58in this psalm? Well, I'll I'll just kind
224. 10:00of read it to you as I've got it in my
225. 10:02notes. Uh, well, the big idea before I
226. 10:05read it. The big idea is that Moses and
227. 10:07Aaron, the big idea is that Moses and
228. 10:10Aaron were a part of establishing the
229. 10:12original tabernacle, right? When God
230. 10:15first gave instructions that he wanted
231. 10:16to dwell amongst his people and they
232. 10:18should build him a tabernacle, aka a
233. 10:20tent. Okay? And so David is saying that
234. 10:23same authority that was on Moses and
235. 10:26Aaron is the same authority that I'm
236. 10:29walking in by reestablishing that
237. 10:31tabernacle, by rebuilding that
238. 10:33tabernacle, by reinstituting a
239. 10:36tabernacle worship system. Okay? He's
240. 10:39kind of saying, "Hey, like uh I'm
241. 10:42tipping my hat to Moses and Aaron and
242. 10:44Samuel because remember Samuel is this
243. 10:47hinge leader. Samuel, like Moses,
244. 10:51occupies three distinct spaces. He's a
245. 10:54prophet, he's a priest, and he's a king
246. 10:56figure. Okay? And so Samuel uh when the
247. 11:01tabernacle is destroyed, he as a person
248. 11:05acts as a mobile tabernacle. They can
249. 11:08perform sacrifices any place Samuel
250. 11:10goes, as long as Samuel's presiding over
251. 11:13the the sacrifice. All right, let me
252. 11:15kind of read it to you the way I've got
253. 11:16it here. David restoring the tabernacle
254. 11:19and bringing the ark to Jerusalem
255. 11:21connects him to a lineage of people that
256. 11:24have prioritized these same elements,
257. 11:27the tabernacle and the ark. Moses and
258. 11:30Aaron, especially Moses, were crucial in
259. 11:32setting up in the setting up of the
260. 11:35original tabernacle and placing the ark
261. 11:37within it. So, establishing Yahweh as
262. 11:39king in the center of Israel. Samuel is
263. 11:42mentioned alongside them as a Moses
264. 11:44figure. He like Moses was a prophet,
265. 11:47priest and king figure. He therefore had
266. 11:50the same authority and permission to
267. 11:53establish a tabernacle and place the ark
268. 11:56inside. He did it at a place called
269. 11:57Shiloh. He had anointed David to rule
270. 12:00like Saul before him. But Saul failed in
271. 12:03this task. So David rebuilding the
272. 12:05tabernacle and placing the ark inside of
273. 12:08it is sanctioned by Yahweh in the same
274. 12:10way as the original. Okay. So, uh, the
275. 12:14authority of his chosen priests set up
276. 12:17the original. Okay. The authority of
277. 12:19Yahweh's chosen priest set up the
278. 12:21original tabernacle. And now the
279. 12:23authority of his new chosen priest, aka
280. 12:26David, will set up the new tabernacle
281. 12:30through his chosen priest, David. All
282. 12:32right. So, th this psalm highlights
283. 12:35Moses, Aaron, and Samuel and Yahweh's
284. 12:37relationship, and that David is
285. 12:40continuing in that legacy. Okay, that's
286. 12:43really, really, really, really
287. 12:44important. This is a nerdy little
288. 12:46detail, but it gives us a clue about the
289. 12:49context of what's going on. All right,
290. 12:52Psalm 100. I spent so much time giving
291. 12:54you nerdy nuggets for Psalm 99. All
292. 12:56right, Psalm 100. Since Yahweh is now
293. 12:58back in his tabernacle, seated on his
294. 13:01throne, exalted as king over his people,
295. 13:06they are encouraged and invited to enter
296. 13:09his gates with thanksgiving and enter
297. 13:11his courts with praise. That's Psalm 100
298. 13:13vers4. Enter his court, sorry, enter his
299. 13:16gates with thanksgiving and his courts
300. 13:19with praise. Give thanks to him and
301. 13:21praise his name. Yeah, actually one of
302. 13:23my earliest memories as a kid, maybe
303. 13:25five, six years old, is uh I went to a
304. 13:28church that said that every single
305. 13:30Sunday, uh let us enter into his gates
306. 13:33with thanksgiving and enter into his
307. 13:36courts with praise. And so, one of these
308. 13:39days, maybe when we're done with our
309. 13:41year-long trek through the Bible, I'll
310. 13:43kind of do a lesson here on the podcast
311. 13:45of how I pray. Because part of the way
312. 13:49that I I learned to pray a couple years
313. 13:51ago was walking through the tabernacle.
314. 13:53And so when we think about enter into
315. 13:56his gates with thanksgiving when Jesus
316. 13:58taught us the Lord's prayer, it starts
317. 14:00out with hallowed be thy name. It starts
318. 14:02out with thanksgiving and praise. And
319. 14:04man, I could get into a timeless truth
320. 14:06here, but I won't. Uh but I'll give you
321. 14:08like a many timeless truth that a lot of
322. 14:10times gratitude, thanksgiving and
323. 14:14praise, if you if you start your prayers
324. 14:18with thanksgiving and praise, you'll
325. 14:20find out that uh the things you are
326. 14:23going to ask God for, by the time you're
327. 14:25done thanking him and praising him, you
328. 14:27begin to realize, I don't even need the
329. 14:29thing that I thought I needed.
330. 14:30Thanksgiving and praise should always
331. 14:32frontload your prayer. We don't want to
332. 14:35thank God after we've asked him for
333. 14:37stuff. I guess the formula that I've
334. 14:39always given people is praise should
335. 14:42preede petition. Praise should precede
336. 14:45petition. Of course, I could petition
337. 14:47God for all kinds of things. Of course,
338. 14:50I want to I there's things that I need.
339. 14:52There are things that I want. But man, I
340. 14:55want to enter into his gates with
341. 14:58thanksgiving. I want to enter into his
342. 15:00courts with praise. Actually the formula
343. 15:03that I always use is praise and then
344. 15:05petition and then prophecy. I want to
345. 15:08pro prophesy that these things are going
346. 15:10to happen and then I always end with
347. 15:12praise. So praise, petition, prophecy,
348. 15:15praise and then that the last the final
349. 15:17praise is a praise in advance. And I
350. 15:19believe that everything I've asked you
351. 15:21for is already done. All right. Psalm
352. 15:23100, I want you to put this verse that
353. 15:26you're probably very familiar with.
354. 15:28Enter his gates of thanksgiving. into
355. 15:30his court with praise in the context of
356. 15:33now that the tabernacle is set up, now
357. 15:35that the ark has been placed inside of
358. 15:37it. Now let us shout for joy to the Lord
359. 15:41all the earth. Worship the Lord with
360. 15:43gladness. Come before him with joyful
361. 15:45songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is
362. 15:48he who made us and we are his. We are
363. 15:51his people, the sheep of his pasture.
364. 15:53Enter his gates with thanksgiving and
365. 15:55his courts of praise. Give thanks to him
366. 15:57and praise his name. For the Lord is
367. 15:59good and his love endures forever. His
368. 16:01faithfulness continues through all
369. 16:03generations. Okay. Now that this whole
370. 16:06process from Psalm 93 all the way to
371. 16:09Psalm 99, the all of this work has been
372. 16:13established to bring the ark back to the
373. 16:15tabernacle to put it within the tent of
374. 16:19meeting in Jerusalem. Now that that's
375. 16:21all done, Psalm 100 is the culmination
376. 16:25or the response. And then we get to
377. 16:27Psalm 101. And all these Psalms from
378. 16:30Psalm 93 to Psalm 100 is all about how
379. 16:32Yahweh reigns. It's all about the reign
380. 16:34and the rule of Yahweh. Well, guess what
381. 16:36Psalm 101 is? Psalm 101 is almost like
382. 16:40it's a royal psalm. So, you need to know
383. 16:42that. Uh, but it's not royal in like
384. 16:45it's messianic that it prophesies about
385. 16:48Jesus the Messiah. It's it's royal in
386. 16:51that this is a psalm of David that
387. 16:54functions like a royal oath of office.
388. 16:57This is what the king of Israel would
389. 16:59swear to do in his role as king. This a
390. 17:03promise that King David is making. That
391. 17:05is this these verses is what he promises
392. 17:09he will do. Some scholars even think
393. 17:12that this was an oath put to song by
394. 17:15David but aimed at his descendants. So
395. 17:19they would swear this as they ascended
396. 17:21to the throne to to be coordinated as
397. 17:24king. This this psalm then is what it
398. 17:28means to be a king of Israel under the
399. 17:31authority of the true king Yahweh. So
400. 17:33Psalm 101 then is also like a response
401. 17:37to everything we've read from Psalm 93
402. 17:39to 100 or or really from Psalm 93 to
403. 17:41999. If Yahweh truly is enthroned on the
404. 17:46mercy seat, if he truly is enthroned
405. 17:48between the cherubim in the Holy of
406. 17:50Holies in his tabernacle in Jerusalem,
407. 17:54and since his rule and reign is the
408. 17:58center of life for the people of God,
409. 18:01then I should be leading in light of his
410. 18:05leadership. I should be ruling in light
411. 18:08of his rule. I should be reigning in
412. 18:10light of his reign. I should be
413. 18:12governing in light of his governance.
414. 18:15Okay, so this is the oath. We'll read
415. 18:17Psalm 101 together. I will sing of your
416. 18:20love and justice to you, Lord. I will
417. 18:22sing praise. I will be careful to lead a
418. 18:26blameless life. When will you come to
419. 18:28me? I will conduct the affairs of my
420. 18:31house with a blameless heart. I will not
421. 18:35look with approval on anything that is
422. 18:37vile. I hate what faithless people do. I
423. 18:41will have no part in it. And that's not
424. 18:44just faithless like I don't believe.
425. 18:46That's faithless like unfaithful would
426. 18:48be a probably a better word there. The
427. 18:51perverse of heart shall be far from me.
428. 18:53I will have nothing to do with what is
429. 18:55evil. Whoever slanders their neighbor in
430. 18:58secret, I will put to silence. Whoever
431. 19:00hasaughty eyes and a proud heart, I will
432. 19:03not tolerate. My eyes will be on the
433. 19:06faithful of the land, they may dwell
434. 19:08with me. The one whose walk is blameless
435. 19:11will minister to me. No one who
436. 19:13practices deceit will dwell in my house.
437. 19:16No one who speaks falsely will stand in
438. 19:19my presence every morning. I will put to
439. 19:22silence all the wicked in the land. I
440. 19:24will cut off every evildoer from the
441. 19:26city of the Lord. All right. That right
442. 19:28there is David's oath of office. That's
443. 19:31his promise. Yahweh, since you reign,
444. 19:35since we have enthroned you on your in
445. 19:41your tabernacle, aka your palace, where
446. 19:45you govern, I now must govern in light
447. 19:47of that. And these are the things I'm
448. 19:50oathing. I don't even know if that's a
449. 19:52word, promising, oathing to you,
450. 19:55declaring what I'm going to do. And this
451. 19:58moves effortlessly into our Thomas Truth
452. 20:02because this is actually just a good
453. 20:04blueprint for leaders everywhere. No one
454. 20:07should be leading as if God is not the
455. 20:09leader. I can only shepherd the people
456. 20:13that God's asked me to pastor in light
457. 20:16of how he shepherds. Like I can't be a
458. 20:20shepherd with different character or
459. 20:22different values than the chief
460. 20:24shepherd. I'm shephering in light of the
461. 20:28shepherd. And I've experienced this even
462. 20:31when I was a youth pastor. I wouldn't
463. 20:34give people advice that I didn't think
464. 20:35my senior pastor would give them. Okay?
465. 20:37My job is to lead in light of how my
466. 20:42leader leads. And for David, he's
467. 20:44saying, "Well, there's no one above me
468. 20:47in the org chart but Yahweh himself."
469. 20:50And so, since Yahweh leads a certain
470. 20:52way, I'm going to lead that way. And I
471. 20:54think it's good for all of us to
472. 20:55practice that same principle. I want to
473. 20:58lead like God leads. I want to lead like
474. 21:01Jesus. And let's even look at this,
475. 21:04okay? I will sing of your love and
476. 21:07justice to you, Lord. I will sing
477. 21:08praise. Guess what? I know as a senior
478. 21:10pastor. Doesn't matter who I eventually
479. 21:13recruit or hire to be a worship leader.
480. 21:16I'm the worship leader cuz I'm the
481. 21:18pastor of the church. And I don't have
482. 21:20to sing to be a worship leader. I just
483. 21:22have to be a leader who worships. Okay.
484. 21:24Next. I'll be careful to lead a
485. 21:26blameless life. When will you come to
486. 21:28me? Like, hey, I I'm going to I'm going
487. 21:30to live a pure life. Clean hands, pure
488. 21:32heart. I will conduct the affairs of my
489. 21:34house with a blameless heart. What good
490. 21:36am I to lead God's people if I can't
491. 21:38lead my own home well? I will not look
492. 21:41with approval on anything that is vile.
493. 21:43Oh, that's good, man. That's
494. 21:45self-explanatory.
495. 21:46I hate what unfaithful people do. I will
496. 21:49have no part in it. If you read through
497. 21:51Psalm 101, you begin to realize this
498. 21:53isn't just a good oath of office for
499. 21:55David. This is a good oath of office for
500. 21:58every leader. It's a good oath of office
501. 22:00for anyone who's in leadership. And the
502. 22:04bigger timeless truth here is that in
503. 22:08the same way that David needs to lead in
504. 22:10light of how God leads, you need to lead
505. 22:14in light of how God leads. I need to
506. 22:16lead in light of how God leads. And I
507. 22:19don't want to lead in such a way that
508. 22:21I'm actually leading people away from
509. 22:24the one who I'm supposed to be leading
510. 22:26them towards, which is the king of kings
511. 22:29and the lord of lords. He's king and
512. 22:31he's king of this king. I'm not a
513. 22:34literal king, but I'm a leader and he's
514. 22:37the leader of leaders and we lead in
515. 22:40light of his leadership style. And
516. 22:42that's not just true for David. That's
517. 22:44true for you. That's true for me. That's
518. 22:46timelessly true. I don't get to lead in
519. 22:48his name, but not lead the way that he's
520. 22:50asked me to lead. I follow his example
521. 22:53as I lead his people. We got a lot of
522. 22:56leaders who somewhere along the way
523. 22:58forgot to follow. And I'm not I'm not
524. 23:02able to lead until I am able to follow.
525. 23:06It's my ability to follow God's lead
526. 23:08well that actually enables me to lead
527. 23:12others well. And that is the blueprint
528. 23:14that David has outlined here in Psalm
529. 23:16101. And I think it's a good blueprint
530. 23:18for you and I. Tomorrow we've got day
531. 23:22286. We're going to be looking at Psalms
532. 23:25102 and 103. I can't wait. I'll be right
533. 23:28here. Same time, same place. We're going

538. 23:41that 80 days to go or something like
539. 23:43that. Something something. My math isn't
540. 23:45good. I didn't get a doctorate in math.
