Ep 174 - Stop Being a Sheep - Zechariah Ch. 10

It's right here in the beginning.

It's very poetic, right? And the latter rain is also the spring rain.

That's also another term for it.

Yes,

yes.

And ask for rain in the time of the latter rain, in the springtime.

The Lord will make flashing clouds.

He will give them showers of rain, grass in the field for everyone.

Like, such a poetic promise there.

But to me, it speaks of something that I think a lot of people don't talk about, or we don't talk about a lot with God.

I think in America, or maybe, correct me if you think differently, but I think in America, we have this upward mobility idea of life.

You get this job, and then you get the better job, and you make the more money.

You see what I mean? We have this...

But the Bible talks about seasons.

Like you go through different seasons of life.

It's not just, it's not just this sort of upward, you know, it's always getting progressively better.

You're just going to go through different seasons.

I think for sure that there's this dominant voice or zeitgeist per se of that idea of up and to the right.

that keeps the, you know, lower middle class and really higher class kind of trapped and always longing for more and more and more.

I do agree that that's, that's a loud, very loud voice.

You know, I'm, I'm starting to wonder how, how, um, popular really is though, even though it's loud, you know what I'm saying? Like, cause I think people are starting to, listen a little bit deeper than just to the louder voice of that and they're actually starting to wake up that that loud voice of up and to the right isn't real you know it's like it so it's still very loud though

yes and i think that there's I think just – but I think it's – you may not think it's there among maybe even the poor, but I think it affects the poor.

Oh, for sure.

Like, oh, I'm not doing this.

Correct.
