The posture of every unbeliever is similar to the posture of Pharaoh. He was both fearful and arrogant in the midst of the Ten Plagues. And so too is every believer in the face of fear and arrogance.

00:00:17.060 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.
00:00:30.000 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:35.820 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:40.100 The position of Jericho is the position of every individual human being apart from the saving grace of God.
00:00:48.800 This is the posture, what I'm saying, brothers and sisters, 1.00
00:00:52.540 this is the mentality and heart posture of every unbeliever. 0.98
00:00:57.700 that the unbeliever is fearful
00:01:01.780 and yet at the same time arrogant. 1.00
00:01:05.900 This was a posture of Pharaoh.
00:01:08.400 With Pharaoh, there was a sense in which 0.93
00:01:10.260 he wasn't just stubborn and arrogant and prideful.
00:01:14.040 There was also a sense in which Pharaoh was afraid. 0.91
00:01:18.360 Pharaoh had seen Moses take down all of his magicians.
00:01:23.280 that the power of Yahweh was superior to the dark arts and power of his magicians. And for the 0.97
00:01:30.500 record, I don't believe that it was merely smoke and mirrors and sleight of hand. The devil is real
00:01:35.820 and I believe that these magicians in Egypt were performing supernatural works by their allegiance 0.95
00:01:43.780 with Satan and false gods. So it's not as though they were doing tricks, mere party tricks, but
00:01:51.060 Moses was doing signs supernaturally by God. No, they were doing signs and supernatural works by
00:01:57.840 the power of the devil, but that the power of Yahweh was infinitely superior to the power of
00:02:04.100 the devil. And Pharaoh witnessed all of this. And there was a sense in which Pharaoh was afraid.
00:02:11.040 And yet the headline of the story, and this isn't to say that there was no fear in Pharaoh,
00:02:15.540 But it's simply to say that the headline of the story was not fear, but pride.
00:02:20.960 That again and again, after each one of these ten plagues,
00:02:25.380 Pharaoh, instead of making a treatise for peace,
00:02:29.300 not because he wasn't afraid, not because he was confident,
00:02:32.840 but that in the midst of his fear, he was also stubborn.
00:02:36.160 Instead of making peace, he chooses to harden his heart.
00:02:40.880 And we know that this is something that, on the one hand,
00:02:43.660 Pharaoh consciously decides to do, and on the other hand, God supernaturally ensures that this
00:02:50.500 takes place. God hardened his heart, and Pharaoh hardened his heart. Both of these things are true.
00:02:57.500 So Pharaoh is afraid in the one sense, but also arrogant and stubborn in the other sense. He's
00:03:04.340 afraid because he knows that all the power of Egypt is inferior to the power of Yahweh, 0.87
00:03:10.420 but he's also arrogant in the sense that he has ten opportunities
00:03:15.420 to make peace with Yahweh, and yet he refuses. 0.59
00:03:20.160 And so too it is with Jericho, and so too it is with every unbeliever. 1.00
00:03:26.000 This is the heart state of every non-Christian, 1.00
00:03:30.220 that in the one sense, they know there is a God in heaven. 1.00
00:03:34.200 Romans chapter 1 says this explicitly,
00:03:36.680 that God has revealed his divine power and eternal nature to all people,
00:03:44.220 that he has clearly manifested himself by what he has made,
00:03:48.100 so that all people are without an excuse,
00:03:51.180 that every single person, all unbelievers, not just Christians, 0.65
00:03:55.600 but non-Christians as well,
00:03:57.720 they instinctively know that there is a God in heaven
00:04:00.260 and that he is holy, holy, holy,
00:04:03.300 and that they owe him their eternal allegiance,
00:04:06.680 submission to his law. And the law of God is not abstract, and it's not obscure. But the law of God,
00:04:14.640 according to Romans 1, and then furthermore, Romans 2, has actually been written on their hearts.
00:04:20.300 Not just written on the hearts of Christians, but written on the hearts of all people.
00:04:24.100 All right, hold up. You're not going to want to miss this. I'm going to tell you exactly how our
00:04:27.580 spring 2024 conference is going to go down. Here's the title of the conference, Blueprints for
00:04:33.220 Christendom 2.0. Subtitle, Seven Doctrines for Ruling the World. We're going to have seven
00:04:39.120 primary sessions covering each of these doctrines for ruling the world righteously. Number one,
00:04:46.020 Reformed Confessionalism. That's going to be Pastor Doug Wilson preaching on that topic. Then
00:04:51.120 we've got Covenant Theology with Pastor Brian Sauve. Then we've got Biblical Patriarchy with 0.51
00:04:56.740 Pastor Michael Foster. Then we've got Presuppositionalism with Dr. Joseph Boot. Then we've
00:05:02.620 got Kuyperianism, All of Christ for All of Life, where we're going to welcome Pastor Doug Wilson
00:05:08.080 back for a second session. Then we've got General Equity Theonomy. We're going to have Dr. Joseph
00:05:14.000 Boot come and do a second session on that topic. And then lastly, we'll have Pastor Dale Partridge
00:05:19.220 on Post-Millennial Eschatology. In addition to these seven sessions, we're also going to have
00:05:24.840 not one, but two live podcasts. On the first day of the conference, that's Friday, March 1st,

00:05:36.020 discussion with Douglas Wilson, Michael Foster, and Eric Kahn from It's Good to Be a Man.
00:05:41.520 The topic is going to be all about biblical patriarchy. We're going to specifically be
00:05:46.580 parsing out, distinguishing the biblical doctrinal differences between patriarchy
00:05:51.880 and complementarianism. Again, that's Friday, March 1st, the first day of the conference,
00:05:56.960 a live theology applied podcast on biblical patriarchy then we're going to have the next day

00:06:18.100 underneath the surface of the earth and chasms of the deep it's going to be wacky it's going to be
00:06:22.740 weird, but it will also be thoroughly biblical and incredibly unhinged. So you're not going to
00:06:28.300 want to miss these two live podcasts, Theology Applied, on Friday, March 1st, the first day of
00:06:33.940 the conference on biblical patriarchy with Doug Wilson, Michael Foster, Eric Kahn, and myself.
