boy on babel
srh 8.11.24 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4WdYDCsEK0] – daniel 4
37 min – tower of babel.. gen 11:1-9 – one language and common speech.. to not be scattered.. they think if pool all knowledge, strength, understanding.. they’ll be able to do something great for themselves.. if continue nothing will be impossible.. let us confuse them so don’t understand each other
intellectness as cancerous distraction
39 min – why – scared their glory will be so great.. and/or .. why doesn’t he do that more now
55 min – better to have division than collective apostasy.. better that everyone scattered than collectively going in wrong direction
need idiosyncratic jargon for detox to get us back to us.. language as control/enclosure et al
1:02 – daniel 4:37 – those who walk in pride he is able to humble
1:03 – aslan: i’m telling you your story.. not theirs.. dan 4:25 – gives them to anyone he wishes – any kingdom don’t hold their own cards.. none have such power that reach to the heavens – he is sovereign over all things regardless of ‘who wins’
1:05 – daniel 4:37 – he is able to humble.. greatest king on earth can humble him.. humbles anyone he chooses to.. doesn’t do it to all.. but has power to.. as we look at all evil in world.. that should be so comforting
1:07 – sins of babylon reaching to heaven..
ezra 9:6 – not just for those far from god – our guilt has reached to the heavens.. our sins.. our sins are higher than our heads.. not just babylon.. evil/corrupt politicians.. our sins have reached to the heavens
1:08 – not that all the affairs of the world are ok.. but there are sins w/in our own heart we can do something about.. our sins are that tower.. not just a note for those far from him.. a note for us as well
1:09 – so much power that he can humble anyone.. but also so much grace.. ie: wait 12 mos et al.. so much grace in the patience of the lord.. also so much grace in that he does cut down.. ie: because cut down ness is sometimes exactly what we need
1:10 – rock of ages.. wash me savior .. or i die
1:11 – only way scales come off (aslan to eustace).. cut w/claw cut to very heart.. as tough as those times feel.. can we see those as just as gracious as his patience
1:12 – the lord came down.. vs people trying to work up.. he redeems even the most lost things.. our sins piled up to heaven cancelled because the lord comes down
