with meaning as he takes you on a chapter by chapter verse by verse study of God's letter to you the Bible and now here is pastor Dennis Murray good day to you god bless you welcome to shepherd's chapel welcome to this family Bible study our ready to get back into our father's word here at the chapel we invite you to get your Bible and join us if you'd care to we're gonna pick it up today first Kings chapter 8 verse 64 I invite you to come with us to 9:10 BC and the temple of the Lord has now been constructed and Solomon has just concluded his dedicatory prayer which was an overlay if you will of Leviticus chapter 26 and Deuteronomy chapter 28 do things God's Way receive His blessings you don't do things God's Way receive his cursings and they had just begun the solomon and the people of israel to make sacrifice to the Lord and it states in verse 63 Solomon offered peace offerings twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep and I'll remind you the peace offering often referred to as a thank offering the law given concerning peace offerings in Leviticus chapter three and it was for peace enjoyed thanks it could also be pulled into it but it was a sacrificial meal some of the offerings such as the burnt offering the whole animal basically and with a few exceptions and it was placed on the altar of burnt-offering not so in the case of the peace offerings just the fat was offered on the alter the rest was prepared for a sacrificial meal and that's what they're doing is having a feast unto the Lord and and offering thanks up for the dedication of the temple having come to pass after seven years and seven and a half years actually have been in construction so with that let's ask that word of wisdom in Yeshua Jesus precious name father we ask you to open eyes open ears this day let's pick it up today first Kings chapter 8 verse 64 and it reads the same day did the king of Solomon of course hollow or sanctify the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord for there he offered burnt offerings and meat offerings and the fat of the peace offerings because the brazen altar that being the altar of burnt-offering that was before the Lord in the inner court was too little to receive the burnt offerings and meat offerings and the fat of the peace offerings no doubt they set up additional altars I mean 22,000 of the oxen and 120,000 sheep that's a lot of the sacrifice that was made to the Lord even if you just dude the fat so what Solomon did was had the priest no doubt then states here that he offered burnt offerings and that's you know the way it was but of course that's not to be taken that he personally performed the office of the priest Solomon would not have even thought of doing this at this point in his life it was the priest who who made these offerings but he was the one making the offering for sixty-five and at that time Solomon held a feast and all Israel with him a great congregation from the entering in of hey math which is the extreme northern part of Israel under the river of Egypt which would be symbolic of the meaning the extreme southern portion of Israel before the Lord our God seven days and seven days even 14 days so we had the dedicatory Feast would have been in the seventh month history and the eighth through the 14th and those of you familiar with the law know that there was an event that happened the tenth of Tishri every year that was the day of atonement and it's not written how they handled that - being that if they skipped the day of atonement that year because of this dedicatory prayer Feast of the temple or what it's just not written but then following that in the the seventh month - Surrey and would have had the Feast of Tabernacles Saku 'the in the hebrew language that would have been the 15th through the 21st of Tishri being the seventh month on the hebrew calendar verse 66 on the eighth day he sent the people away and they blessed the kings probably that they kneeled before him and went unto their tents they went home joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the Lord had done for David his servant and for Israel his people and the reference to David their meaning the promises that God had made to the seed of David which included of course Solomon now he would not have sent them away the eighth day of Tishri and Leviticus chapter 23 verse 30 9 there's another feast the last feast of the cycle of Feast of the Hebrew calendar in the Hebrew tongue that's called out surrett and it was a Sabbath and it would have been unlawful for Solomon to send the people away on the eighth day travel was prohibited or at least very limited on a Sabbath second chronicles chapter 7 verse 10 makes it very clear that Solomon sent the people home on the 23rd of history and now this joyful and glad of heart I couldn't help but think about how we feel after we have had Passover and a very special time a spiritual renewal if you will and and being able to commune with people of like minds and then of course the highlight of the Passover the taking of the Passover table which of course is the Holy Communion and then on the way home I thought how how joyful and glad we feel no doubt this is how the people of Israel felt having participated in such a special joyous time chapter 9 we come to and and we're gonna have the second appearance of Yaakov a to Solomon the first occurred back in chapter 3 you may recall when the Lord asked Solomon asked what you will of me and I will give it to you and that's when Solomon using wisdom requested wisdom so that he could rule so great a people as Israel but we're gonna jump ahead some 13 years this would put us probably a little over halfway through the rain of Solomon Solomon reigned for a total of 40 years this would be about year 23 24 of his reign chapter 9 verse 1 and it came to pass when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord and the King's house and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do now of course the house of the Lord that was ordained by God he wrote the design our Father did of the temple on David and then David communicated it to Solomon Solomon's personal house the house of the forest of Lebanon the Pharaoh's daughter's house the house of pillars where day in the throne where David's throne was established and where he greeted foreign dignitaries and also passed judgment all was not by God's design but was by man's design and took a lot of years in a lot of hours man hours a lot of resources to complete but all is finished seven and a half years for the temple 13 years for Solomon's own personal buildings so were some 23 or 24 years into his reign at this point verse 2 that the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time as he appeared unto him at Gibeon and Solomon had gone to Gibeon which was the location of the mosaic Tabernacle the tent of Moses and the Lord appeared to him there as well in a dream and the same method that he prepared appeared before Solomon before he chose to appear to him again in a dream verse 3 and the Lord said unto him to Solomon I have heard thy prayer and supplication supplication is an entreaty or request for favor that thou has made before me I have hallowed this means to to pronounce or make clean or holy this house referring to Solomon's Temple which thou has built and to put my name there forever and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually this word perpetually in the Hebrew is Kol and it means whole as wh o le holy or continually well so would probably be a good way to think of this now actually God you know he consumed the offering some thirteen years before he appeared to Solomon that was the initial response or acceptance of our Heavenly Father of the temple and the offerings of the people was the fire that came from heaven and consumed the burnt offerings verse four and if the Lord continues and here we have a condition don't don't overlook the condition thou will walk before me as David thy father walked in integrity of heart and in uprightness to do according to all that I have commanded thee and will keep my statutes and my judgment Solomon will have a problem keeping the conditions of this we'll see when we get to chapter 11 and David the integrity of David's heart was David perfect of course not we had the matter with the adulterous affair with Bathsheba and then him trying to cover it up by calling her husband Uriah the Hittite from the war another words if she slept with her husband then no one would know whose child it was that she was carrying Uriah would not go in to his wife and the comforts of his own home when his men were in the field in battle after the second attempt by David to cover up his adulterous affair he sent a note with your ayah to Joab that Joab was to order Uriah to the hottest point of battle in other words he had Uriah carry his own death sentence to Joab but my point is that David had integrity of heart as far as his loyalty to the Lord not once did David fall into idolatry worshipping other gods small G as many of the kings of Israel and Judah that followed David would do verse 5 then the Lord continues I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever and do to Solomon's idolatry Israel is about to become two nations very soon it would be under his son Rehoboam that we have the nation of Judah split from the nation of Israel the ten tribes to the north as I promised to David thy father saying there shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel and that was a covenant of salt that the Lord made with David that means that it was irrevocable it cannot be changed and although Solomon fell away into idolatry and many of his descendants afterwards that promise that God made to David ultimately will be fulfilled in Messiah when Jesus Christ returns that the second had been not as a babe in swaddling clothes this time but as the king of kings and Lord of lords you see he's not going to be wrapped in swaddling clothes he's gonna be riding a white warhorse if you're not familiar with that you can read about it in Revelation chapter 19 then he will reign forever verse 6 but if you shall at all turn from following me ye or your children and will not keep my Commandments in my statutes which I have set before you but go and serve other gods and worship them the first commandment of Exodus chapter 20 verse 3 thou shalt have no other gods before me in Exodus chapter 34 verse 14 God says you'll have no other gods in place of me my name is jealous jealous with a capital J and you know God makes it so simple for man to understand if we will just listen to him he laid it all out for us right here in the word and Solomon had he met the conditions God would have kept his promise Solomon did not meet the conditions as and not to be hard on Solomon we even in this time have trouble following God's commandments verse 7 then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them and you know what if you ever think that you own a piece of property you're mistaken God owns all the land as it's written in Exodus chapter 19 verse 5 if you will obey my voice and keep my covenant then you'll be a peculiar people to me and [Music] me above all people for all the earth is mine the earth is our heavenly father's he loaned it to the people of Israel but they didn't meet the conditions and this house referring to the temple which I have hallowed for my name will I cast out of my sight and Israel shall be a proverb in a by word that means a joke among all people what this is saying is that when people of other nations walk by and see the calamity that has come upon the house that God cast out of his sight and the fact that the calamity extended through out the nation of Israel they'll laugh this is a form of scorn that the people of the land and you know even today the the people of Israel for the most part don't have a clue who they are they don't know about the ten tribes of Israel that went north over the Caucasus Mountains settling in Europe and later migrating to the United States many of the Gentiles of the earth laugh at Israel today verse eight and this end and at this house which is high a high on Mount Moriah every one that passeth by it shall be astonished everyone will see it and be astonished and shall hiss and they shall say why hath the Lord done thus unto this land into this house to hiss is to is an act of showing scorn in other words if you do things God's Way receive His blessings you don't do things his way you can expect the cursings he tells it like it is right here in the word this would come to pass and we'll see when we get to the end of the second book of Kings verse nine as these walk by and hiss at the house of God and they shall answer because they forsook the Lord their God who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt and have taken hold upon other gods small G and have worshiped them and served them therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil all this calamity and and God allowed it but actually when you think about it it wasn't God that brought this evil or calamity upon them they brought it upon themselves and you know other gods we think of that you know well I wouldn't worship other gods small G but you know we have idols today and I'm not talking about rocks that someone whittled some ears that can't hear and some eyes that can't see and I'm talking about people who for example have a house that they have to work two jobs to make the monthly payments on it and to make ends meet otherwise as a result they don't have time even a little bit of time each day for their heavenly father and I tell you this beloved anything that comes between you and your relationship with your heavenly father is an idol you've allowed it to become an idol it might be a car it might be an airplane it might be a boat but again anything that you allow to become more important in your life than your relationship with your heavenly father you've allowed it to become an idol God doesn't like it he's very jealous Exodus chapter 34 verse 14 his name he's jealous his name is jealous with a capital J thus the second appearance of the Lord having appeared to Solomon ends and we move on verse 10 and it came to pass at the end of twenty years seven years for the temple thirteen years for building his own palatial complex when Solomon had built the two houses the house of the Lord and the king's house verse 11 now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees as most likely cypress trees and with gold now nothing was said in chapter 5 when Solomon made this league or covenant with Hiram the king of Tyre back in chapter 5 the only thing that was mentioned was cedar and cypress wood which would be traded for food and oil according to all his desire as much as he needed that then King Solomon gave Hiram 20 cities in the land of Galilee probably as security for the loan of the gold etc now this the problem with these 20 cities is that they were occupied by Canaanites that were left in the land verse 12 and Hiram came out from tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him and they pleased him not they were not right in his eyes as what the translation should be in Hebrew the the Canaanites that lived there had probably allowed the city to come into ruin and it was dirty wasn't kept up right verse 13 and he this being Hiram king of Tyre said what cities are these which thou has given me my brother and of course Hiram was not of Israel so he's not claiming to be an actual brother of Solomon but Hiram was the king of tyre Solomon was the king of Israel that is the relationship that he can make claim that he was his brother and he called them the twenty cities the land of Kabul unto this day Kabul if the the etymology of the word means pond like you would take a ring to a pawn shop or good-for-nothing as another meaning displeasing or dirty and Hiram sent to the King six core talents 120 talents that is of gold now it's written in second chronicles chapter 8 verse 2 that Hiram gave these cities back to Solomon and that Solomon had Israelites move in and occupy the cities and improve them verse 15 and this is the reason of the levy which King Solomon raised for to build the house of the Lord and his own house and meelo and the wall of Jerusalem and haze or which was an old Canaanite his town and Megiddo which was about eleven miles from Nazareth the critical position as it had a good overlook of a pass that went from the north country into the hill country of the south and Geezer and you've heard people saying well he's an old geezer well geezer was an ancient Canaanite city of canaan now this levy that's talking about here is a tribute or taxation if you will of men a forced labor you know there will be one that was and these the the people of Israel Solomon was not able to place them in bondage now the Canaanites yeah we're gonna see in a minute he could put them under bondage the Israelites it was unlawful to make a fellow Israelite a slave or a bondsman but this levy he would allow them to would force them actually to work on these various building projects and it was this levy that was placed on the people of Israel that eventually partially led to the split of the nation you see the men of Israel could have been farming their own lands or whatever it was whatever they made a living doing they could have been doing that rather than working on the building projects of Solomon there'll be one by the name of Jeroboam who led a rebellion he was a man of ephraim and while they were rebuilding the walls of Milot he was contacted by a prophet and told that he would take ten of the tribes of israel and be their king verse sixteen for pharaoh king of egypt had gone up and taken Geezer and burn it with fire and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city and given it for a present unto his daughter Solomon's wife were seventeen and Solomon built Geezer and beth horon before and another one situated on the road from Gibeon to assic the nether beth warned the nether there were two the upper and the lower which another word is nether now when we say Solomon built geezer that MIT is misleading he didn't actually build geezer geezer had been around for centuries when Solomon was born what this word built means is that he fortified them and you know we think of Solomon as being very peaceful not much of a military man but we're gonna see here he was thinking that big stick of Defense sometime avoids attacks from the enemy so he's positioning troops and supplies and Arsenal if you will weapons around the nation in the event that they were attacked verse eighteen and bail off which was in the tribe of Dan and Tadmor in the wilderness in the land and again fortified and set up Arsenal's with weapons and troops important for the defense of the nation Tadmor the hebrew word many of you are familiar with Tamar which means palm trees this was also called palm IRA later because of the palm trees it was important because it lied lay on the transport the caravan between the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf you see at this time the Suez Canal was non-existent and if you wanted to go by water from the Mediterranean Sea to the Gulf the Persian Gulf you had to go all the way around the Horn of Africa or what they would do is put the ships into port for example on the Mediterranean Sea and then the camels the caravan would come take their goods and transport them across the the peninsula to the Persian or vice versa see and that's the way that they avoided the trip the lengthy trip all the way around the Horn of Africa verse 19 and all the cities of store that Solomon had and the cities for his chariots and cities for his horsemen and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land of his Dominion and they would actually make warehouses to store all the goods and then also the military aspect as well verse 20 and all the people that were left of the amorite s' hittites perizzites hivites and Jebusites which were not of the children of israel these tribes just mentioned made up the Canaanite II nations that's Cain a with a C not to be confused with Ken night with a cave now he said God instructed his royal Deuteronomy chapter 7 to wipe out the Canaanites why he said if your daughters become the wives of their sons or you give your daughters to their sons to take the wife then you're gonna start worshipping their gods and that came to pass as we'll see verse 21 their children this is of the the Canaanite his peoples that were left after them in the land whom the children of Israel also were not able to utterly to destroy upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bond service unto this day you remember he had over a hundred thousand workers who at one point or another were working on the and his various building projects he forced these people that were not of Israel into work bond work slavery verse 22 and we'll stop for the day but if the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondman Leviticus 25 brethren were prohibited from putting other brethren into bondage but they were men of war and his servants and his princes and his captains and rulers of his chariots and his horsemen I couldn't help but think about 1st Samuel chapter 8 verse 11 and the following verses as I read that last verse you say God knew what it was going to happen and that the people of Israel first of all God wanted to be their King but no they had to have a man king like the heathen nations that they could see while samuel told them in 1st Samuel chapter 8 what was going to happen and according to the word of the Lord and the Lord told the people of Israel at that time you want a man king to fight your battles for you but let me tell you what a man King will do he'll take 10% of everything that you have your olive yards your vineyards and he'll give it to his servants he's going to take your daughters and make them bakers and confectionaries perfumers if you will he's going to put your children to work for him he's gonna take your sons and have them be in his military fighting his battles not the king fighting your battles but he's going to have your sons fighting his battles so as always God was right and that's exactly what came to pass well we'll come back in solomon has in our next lecture a very special visitor the queen of sheba is about to arrive - she's heard about the wisdom and the fame and the fortune of solomon and she couldn't believe what that it was true so she's gonna make a visit to Solomon to see if what she has heard is true or not don't miss our next lecture we got a short message we'll ask you to listen a moment

name Amen and thank you Father all right let's get to some questions see what's on the mind of folks first up today we have Buffy in California sarah in washington i guess for me i don't know friends or sisters my mom and i there we go mom and daughter we're wondering who was with god in genesis chapter 11 verse 7 where god says let us go down and give them different languages who is he referring to when he says us he's referring to the same entities as us as he did in genesis chapter 1 verse 26 when he said let us make man in our image of course he was referring to his children the angels if you will job chapter 1 I think it's verse 6 it states there that the sons of God and God were in heaven the angels and you see we're here on earth in the flesh but a very short period of time and this the second earth and have an age and no one dies the flesh dies but their soul is still alive so there are angels spiritual bodies with God that are waiting to be born in the flesh there are some with God who have already been in the flesh and have passed away so no one including Satan is dead at this point in time now there comes a point in time after the great white throne judgment of Revelation chapter 20 the Satan and those who choose to follow him go into the lake of fire that is hell that is the second death Bessy and Alabama I am an 88 year old female with arthritis well god bless you what will our spiritual bodies be made of nothing that arthritis has any impact over or ability over what will we be doing during in a spiritual body in the Millennium where some of us will be teaching there are people who are going to need our help in the Eternity what will spiritual bodies be doing well what's written about that you'll find in Revelation chapter 21 and 22 what comes at the end of the millennium well the lake of fire for those who Satan and those who follow him or the Eternity that's God's kingdom for those who make it Kevin in Arkansas question I believe mark 16 verses 17 and 18 speaks of signs of those who believe I have done none of these things I still continue to smoke cigarettes and I curse out of habit not cool trying to stop both do you have any advice concerning my place in life I want to serve Jesus well repent and believe on him and be saved mark 16:15 States go ye into the world and preach the gospel and this is very much incorrectly taught in mark 16 17 and 18 in Luke chapter 10 verses 17 and 18 we learned that Jesus gives us power over all of our enemies and the word tongues there in mark 16 17 and 18 is languages and it's there it's talking about taking up serpents and drinking anything deadly that and it won't have any effect on you well you know and people teach that we should actually have serpents poisonous snakes in church and we should be able to pick them up and handle them with our hands you know I don't know of no rattlesnake or Copperhead that red mark 16 verses 17 and 18 and if you go picking them up in a wrong way they will bite you and you will suffer the consequences that's symbolic in mark 16 17 and 18 which we have power over all of our enemies including the serpent that's that's what out of the point I was trying to get to a moment ago also as far as drinking anything deadly is that our character is good enough to stand on its own no matter who's attacking us or what poison there is coming out of their mouth concerning us we can take it Ronald from Tennessee someone told me that blacks were here on earth first is this true or false I am confused on this yes the races other than those who descended from Earth ha Adam I'm speaking the Hebrew for the Adam that was created in Genesis chapter 2 were created in Genesis chapter 1 and you know when God said to the angels let us make man in our image and he created man male and female and told them to go forth and multiply be fruitful and multiply and in the last verse of Genesis chapter 1 it states that God saw everything that he had made and it was very good he was very pleased with what he had created Daniel in Texas I have one question I'm not sure about God's elect do they have to be alive in this flesh body when our Lord Jesus Christ steps foot on the earth at the second Advent or will God's elect get to teach with G in this flesh body expires before he comes you know yes but you know God promised that he would always have a remnant and the remnant are those who keep the truth alive from generation to generation throughout the course of history and there is a remnant here on earth right now that keep the truth coming to be God's elect by definition you do have to be here in the flesh to witness against the Antichrist when he appears but also remember that there's an army that comes by to earth with Jesus Christ you can read about him in Revelation chapter 19 verse 14 what an honor to serve in that army and I know many of our relatives who have passed on are going to be right there with Jesus and his army there's one sergeant that I know fairly well Julie in Washington yes we have a physical cherry I'm curious do we have a physical church which day do you consider the Sabbath yes we have a physical church in fact is if you'll watch the end of the program closely there's a picture there a video of our our church which is located in Gravett Arkansas which day do we Sabbath well Sabbath means rest read Hebrews chapter four and we here at Shepherd's chapel put our rest in Jesus Christ every day Donna in Texas I was just wondering out of curiosity if once we live with Christ and God in heaven in our heavenly bodies will we ever need to rest or sleep and would we ever need shelter from anything such as rain etc well spiritually we take refuge from anything negative in the sanctuary and I'm not talking about a temple made with man's hands I'm talking about the relationship with your Heavenly Father as far as sleep or rest as I mentioned of course earning the Sabbath here at the chapel we rest in Jesus Christ every day Linda and you know he talked about eating as well in Revelation chapter 22 it reads that there are leaves for healing that the people partake of once a month Linda and Tennessee is it true that Ephesus is the church that we are to like what is the true church that we should be like well I think you're thinking about the two churches of Revelation chapter 2 and 3 that Christ found no fault with and it wasn't Ephesus the Ephesians it was the Church of Smyrna in Revelation chapter 2 and Philadelphia in Revelation chapter 3 and what do those two churches have in common well they thought and then that's a church that you should be a member of is a church that teaches who those who claim to be of our brother Judah but do lie and are of the synagogue of Satan and of course we're talking about the Kenites they teach who the Kenites are if you don't attend a church that teaches the who the Kenites are I'm sorry according to Revelation chapter two and three you don't attend a church that Christ would find pleasing Terry in California I watch you every night and thank you for your kind comments let me get your question since I am NOT any Vangelis type is my prayer for others accepted as good works I pray for many on social media and on the news I feed the needy when I get a chance I feel like hey wood and stubble well you know yes those are good works that you're talking about but you know supporting a ministry that teaches truth is a good work as well not everyone you know we're a mini membered body not everyone can be the mouthpiece of the body where would we be you without arms and hands to do work for the ministry where would we be without feet we would be immobile if we didn't have any feet so in supporting ministry that teaches God's truth you are doing good works we are feeding the hungry in this ministry as well I speak on a spiritual level I do have a question and this is Melinda in Arkansas concerning the Antichrist return do you think Satan will have the same crucifixion marks as our precious Savior the Lord Jesus Christ I believe he will Satan is the father of all lies you're right John chapter 8 verse 44 and he is a great imposter you got that right you know and you notice one thing about Satan's MO as you study God's Word he's an imposter Christ returns on a white horse he's going to return on a white horse Revelation chapter 6 Antichrist on a white horse revelation 19 Christ on a white horse he claims to be Lucifer Lucifer is the the Morningstar and Christ of course is the Morningstar so anything that you think Jesus Jesus is going to return to Jerusalem where do you think the Antichrist is going to return of course he's going to return to Jerusalem and he's going to set his throne up on the north side as it's written in Isaiah chapter 14 so don't be fooled by looks it would be pretty easy for him to have some marks in his hand and say this is where they drove the spikes through my hands what you want to do in Christ taught us this in Matthew chapter 7 verse 16 he says you shall know them by their fruits so don't be confused or deceived by looks judge the the entity by the fruit that he produces if it's good fruit it's of our Father if it's bad fruit fits naughty figs evil figs then it's probably of Satan excuse me Jessie and Oklahoma please explain excuse me please explain James chapter 5 verses 14 and 15 well that it's talking about when we are ill to go before the elders of the church and request that they anoint us and of course what we anoint with we anoint with the oil of our people olive oil what Christians anoint I've never heard of such a thing well you're not familiar with the name Christ in the Greek is Christos and what does that mean it means The Anointed One excuse me Desiree in Arkansas I really enjoy watching shepherd's chapel Network I do believe that you worship our Father in spirit and in truth thank you for that and your question is very simple you said do you partner or know of any other pastors that teach preach in the same manner as you and pastor Dennis and you're reading writing this to Arnold of course the reason why I asked it is because I want to be a part of a church excuse me that has a sound doctrine as I grow in the word I see that most churches people ministers are carried away with traditions I hate it so for my only option so far my only option is to move to grab it and become a member of your church please let me know other ministers that teach and preach in the same manner as you accept shepherd's chapel well we have no affiliate churches we can't be responsible for what others are preaching where we're non-denominational Christian but you know one needn't move to grab it to be a member of shepherd's chapel God puts
