00:00:00.000 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04.300 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10.260 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23.480 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. Now, who is Og? Let's read
00:00:29.660 one more cross-reference to get a little bit more details over this King Og. He's the king
00:00:35.680 of Bashan. Deuteronomy chapter 3, verse 6 through 11, or I'm sorry, just focusing on verse 11,
00:00:41.900 says this now. For only Og, the king of Bashan, was left of the remnant of the Rephaim. Behold,
00:00:49.800 his bed was a bed of iron. It's because he's really heavy and it needs to be strong to support
00:00:55.400 him. It was a bed of iron. Is it not in Rabbah of the Ammonites? Nine cubits was its length and
00:01:04.880 four cubits its breadth, according to the common cubit. Now, a common cubit, just for reference,
00:01:10.680 is about a foot and a half, 18 inches. So when it says nine cubits was its length, we're looking at
00:01:16.080 13 and a half feet, 13.5 feet, and four cubits as its width, we're looking at six feet wide. And
00:01:23.340 again, the substance of the bed, not just its size, but its substance is made of iron. What
00:01:29.220 the Bible's telling us, right, and a lot of evangelicals are too sophisticated to believe
00:01:34.200 the Bible, but we do. We believe the Bible here at Covenant Bible Church. What the Bible's telling
00:01:39.700 us is this. There's a really big bed because Og is a giant. Not in the metaphorical proverbial
00:01:46.800 sense. He had a giant intellect or, you know, a Titan among men in terms of his, you know,
00:01:50.940 psychology and ability to contribute. No, no, no. I'm talking a giant, an actual giant. So we don't
00:01:58.100 know his exact height, but we know that his bed again was 13 and a half feet long. So you think
00:02:03.920 of that and just apply the same kind of concept and principle with our beds today, right? If you
00:02:09.460 have, you know, a typical bed, whether it's, you know, in terms of length, whether it's king or
00:02:13.440 queen or full or twin or whatever it might be, it's usually about 6.5 inches long. Or I'm sorry,
00:02:19.900 6.5 feet long. Six feet, five inches. Something a little bit over six feet. And a lot of people,
00:02:27.160 not all, but a lot of men are usually around 5'9", 5'10". That's a pretty much a common height for
00:02:33.780 men, 5'11". So you're only looking at a few inches longer than the height of the man who
00:02:38.980 be sleeping in that bed. It's very possible, very likely, that Og was a man who was about 13 feet
00:02:46.340 tall. 13 feet tall. Now, when you take that proportionally and put it in terms of weight,
00:02:53.940 if you got a guy who's 13 feet tall, he's not going to weigh twice the amount of somebody who's
00:02:58.920 six and a half feet tall, right? Six and a half times two, 13 feet. Well, he may be twice the
00:03:04.880 height, but he's going to be four, five, six times the weight of a man who is six and a half feet
00:03:11.340 tall. Because it's not just that he's double the height, but he's the same, you know, slender. I
00:03:16.420 mean, that would, you know, that'd be a beanpole. That'd be somebody who could just fall over with 0.99
00:03:19.500 a gust of wind. No, you're talking about a man of renown. You're talking about somebody who is
00:03:25.240 one of the descendants of the Nephilim. That's what the Rephaim actually are. They're a particular 0.99
00:03:32.620 tribe that were descendants of the Nephilim. The Nephilim, as we already talked about two weeks
00:03:37.820 ago, they were the hybrid demonic offspring of watchers, fallen angels, who saw the daughters 0.92
00:03:45.580 of men were beautiful and came into them and produced children. So you have angels that
00:03:50.740 rebelled against God. They fell from heaven in a great cosmic war. The archangel Michael passed
00:03:56.580 them down to the earth these fallen rebellious angels now attempting to pervert the messianic
00:04:03.000 line right underneath the command of lucifer who would be their commander the devil the one who was
00:04:09.400 there in the garden that day the serpent who knew that the promise was that there would be a seed
00:04:14.060 of the woman who would crush his head right he knew the game plan god told him ahead of time
00:04:19.200 this is what i'm gonna do you can know about what i'm gonna do i don't have to pull a fast one i
00:04:24.840 don't have to do it in secret. I'm going to tell you exactly what I'm going to do, and you're not
00:04:29.800 going to be able to stop it because I'm God. So God tells both Adam and Eve and the serpent
00:04:35.200 in the garden, Genesis chapter 3, when we have the fall take place, what is going to happen?
00:04:40.880 The serpent and his offspring will strike the heel of the seed of the woman, but the seed of
00:04:47.960 the woman, namely Christ, the Messiah, he will ultimately, in the end, crush the head of the
00:04:53.900 serpent. So Satan knows from that day forward that his ultimate end is going to be the serpent
00:05:01.500 crushing seed of the woman. So what is he trying to strategically do? Among many things, one thing
00:05:07.080 he's trying to do is to corrupt the line of the woman. He's trying to corrupt it. One of the ways 0.93
00:05:13.220 that you corrupt the line of humanity is by hybrid half fallen angel, half people, cryptid, weird, 1.00
00:05:22.840 wacko, perverted DNA. That's, that's one of the ways you do it, right? It may feel a little bit 1.00
00:05:29.020 on the nose, a little bit too simple, but that's one of Satan's strategies. And so what you have
00:05:35.000 is you have these fallen watchers, angels now in rebellion against God, who see the daughters of
00:05:40.620 men, that they are lovely and that they take them as wives. They produce a hybrid offspring. That's 0.98
00:05:45.900 not really human. This is the Nephilim or the Nephilim. And then the Nephilim, one of the 0.97
00:05:50.960 descendant tribes from them is the Rephaim. And King Og of Basham is one example of the Rephaim, 0.94
00:05:58.280 a sub-tribe of the Nephilim. And he's a giant because he has watered down at this point. It's 0.55
00:06:04.900 been multiple generations, but he still has this fallen angel. He's not 100% human. He's not 100%
00:06:12.480 in the image of God. He has this watered down, fallen angel BNA running through his blood, 1.00
00:06:19.220 giving him incredible, almost supernatural strength and stature, size. And one of the 0.83
00:06:26.380 things that God uses Israel to do in their time of wandering in the desert underneath the leadership 1.00
00:06:31.320 of Moses is to hunt these guys down and kill them. And that's also what God uses them to do 0.96
00:06:39.760 under Joshua's leadership after crossing the Jordan River and going into the land of Canaan.
