we I have a this this class came out of um actually brothers brother's class um yes uh Wednesday where you know we um we did the readings after we had some dinner and it was what was it John nine Jim is that what it is yeah John chapter n and and one of the things and we we may get into this today you know the major topic really the whole chapter is about the blind man the UN and he has no name but he showed tremendous faith and um you know he even spoke out against the leaders of that of that time the scribes and Pharisees like went after them about their hypocrisy but we don't know his name but he showed this tremendous love of God and so I thought that you know just kind of thinking about it it's like how many other noname individuals in scripture um are there where an individual does something or is mentioned in the Bible whether good or bad right we're going to look at people that have no names and they did really great things and people that have no names did some really wicked things and so you know I think there's a lot of lessons in in involved in looking at these people the no names of scripture right um who were these people why are they in scripture why are their actions in scripture but not their names um you know why why did God in his wisdom you know have have their actions recorded but you know not their names we may not know that but I just think it's it's interesting um and so you know the question is are there lessons from their lives that we can apply to our lives of course there are right the answer is yes that's the whole purpose of the Bible is looking at uh commands and statements but also looking at the events of men and women of Faith evil men and women right back in uh the Old Testament and the New Testament as well so um with that said let's uh let's take a look at some of these things so we go way way back right what we got for time okay when we go Way Way Back Into Genesis um there's a lot of people that are not mentioned that obviously played an important part in the spreading of people across uh across the world let's just look at uh take a take a look at Genesis the fth chapter here um you know like for instance verse four of the fifth chapter of Genesis and the days of Adam after he begat Seth were 800 years and he begat sons and daughters so some people are mentioned like Seth of course Cain and Abel are mentioned uh Enoch is mentioned as well um and this you know Cain and our mention but I always found it interesting you know beat Sons and Daughters right the they they're unnamed people that were born other children that were born to Adam and Eve other other people through the generations that you know lived and died who are these people right you know from a historical point of view there's always in the back of my mind you want to know more like we always want to know more we always want more information and you know knowledge and that's really was was the thing you know for Adam and Eve they wanted you know they wanted to have that knowledge of Good and Evil it's always been this kind of you know this this struggle to gain more knowledge you know human beings just the way that we are constituted we can never just accept reality as it is we're always looking for something else and this is where invention comes in this is where we do you know we do experiments and we figure things out you know just for instance um you know like the whole SpaceX thing right if you remember like five years ago they were trying to you know have you know make this rocket hover and land and all this kind of stuff and now in 2024 they got this massive rocket coming down it hovers a little bit and comes down and they they grab it with two you know the the the Chopsticks right so this is this is our mentality there's always something more to know and that's that can be a good thing but it's it also can be a bad thing right you know go uh what does Solomon say God has made man upright but he has sought out many inventions and that's that that can be a struggle sometimes all right so anyway so Sons and Daughters of of Adam and Eve and the rest of them in Genesis 5 no names given to them but obviously they existed uh you know they had children so on and so forth and you know one of the reasons why I think too is you know we go further and further back in time like you know for like genesis 5 there's certain people that are mentioned right that I think were probably kept in the minds of Israelites you know the major people and they told these stories orally um and then eventually you know they were written down God's hand being in obviously involved in this um but the further and further you go back in time and it's even true today the less information you have just the way it is we lose things human beings love to tell stories and to tell information but sometimes you know things are lost now we have everything that we need obviously for salvation but I'd love to know a little more information about what was going on before the flood right what was going on before the flood because um you know we have a lot of unanswered questions even from archaeology you know we there's a lot of things that people don't know in fact um you know they keep on finding these civilizations that they didn't know existed like there's a massive civilization they just found in ancient turkey you know go go Becky Tey you know whe I don't want to get into it but anyways they it's a massive complex that they didn't even know existed until they found it like in I think 1990 they found it and they've been digging um and trying to figure out exactly who these people were so anyways um Noah is mentioned of course but Noah's wife not mentioned all right um You we're going to find to brothers and sisters and this may be a cultural thing early on but you know a lot of the women are not going to be mentioned okay and that isn't obviously that it God didn't care about women but in a cultural sense the man and the man's name was as far as genealogies are concerned that's where the line is passed through but it is interesting according to Jewish um tradition that uh you know you are not a Jew unless your mother is a Jew all right is that correct Jason thank you all right uh so the line uh of uh you know you know the bloodline for Jewish people go goes through the mother all right let's take a look at um you know lots L uh lot in uh his wife because Jesus is going to mention the uh Lot's wife again do we do we know her name we do not know her name but she is the foundation of um a teaching of Jesus as we're going to see um so Genesis 19 I you know we know the story uh but it's good to kind of recollect things um Abraham and lot uh were nephew and uncle and uh they were having trouble because they were so wealthy and so prosperous because of God's grace and goodness that there was Strife uh fighting between the Shepherds of lot and the Shepherds of Abraham for pasture and for watering you know for Wells and that type of thing and so Abraham's like look you know I don't want fighting this is craziness you pick the land where you wanted to go and scripture tells us that lot looked right he saw and saw it was well watered the plains where Sodom and Gomorrah was so he turned his attention to there and that's where he went Abraham went in the other direction and so lot slowly gets sucked in into the the Sodom and Gomorrah because it says that he pitched his tent toward Sodom and then he what he was sitting in the gate of Sodom so he had a position of authority within the city of Sodom and it was a slow process and so here here he is him and his family in a in a wicked and detestable City and we know from second Peter uh the second chapter that it grieved him right it upset him every single day to see everything that was going on and we wonder brothers and sisters what was going through um you know lot's mind you know with his children you know his daughters that type of thing what type of environment it wasn't a great environment at all to kind of you know uh raise a family in the gospel raise a family in the truth wasn't great and we find out that unfortunately the thinking of Sodom infected his family and so these individuals are not mentioned we don't know the names of Lot's wife but Jesus what does Jesus say in uh Luke 17:28 let's look at the context of that because it's important in uh Luke 17 in um verse 28 well we can we can um start in verse 26 as it was in the days of Noah so shall it be also in the days of the son of man they did eat they drank they married wise they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all likewise also as it was in the days of lot they did eat they drank they bought they sold they planted they build it but the same day that lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all and so uh it goes down in verse 32 remember Lot's wife whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it so Lot's wife we don't know her name but it is a she is a cautionary tale that Jesus uses about turning back turning back to wickedness away from the things of God turning back from salvation and that's what lot Lot's wife turned back she couldn't leave those things for whatever reason her whole life was there she had friends her family was there right uh a lot of her family was still there and they fled but she in her heart her heart was still in Sodom and so that I think that's an important Le lesson right where where's our heart there our heart every single day are we turning back to the things of the world to the corruption that we see in the world godlessness in the world God has no place in a lot of people's minds in society and we can see it there is not a foundation uh of of God God is Not not the foundation of people unfortunately particularly in this area you know I was just looking at some stats and you know it's like 50 to 60% of people uh about 40% of people in New England are not sure whether God exists or not okay like that is the that is a baseline that's not a great Baseline okay in other parts of the country obviously it's a lot more but that's this is the area that we live in okay we're not a very religious people in New England we used to be but we're becoming much much more SE and um and that that brings along with it a host of issues that we have to just just be mindful of they're not Guided by God people of Sodom and Gomorrah were not B uh Guided by Yahweh they weren't by their own lust their own deviance drove them in their lack of love for the less fortunate because if we look at uh Ezekiel along with the sexual immorality there was also um an oppression of the poor and needy because Ezekiel said neither did you give bread to the poor and needy in other words you didn't care about the less fortunate you were concerned about yourself your own lusts and desires and that's why Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed um and then along with that story without getting into it lot's daughters you when we talk about you know sexual immorality well it it rubbed off unfortunately on lot's daughters didn't it and you know there's there's obviously you know more you know lessons than that but lot we don't know the names of Lot's daughters do we we don't cautionary tail right a lesson from God to us hey these people don't have names but look at their behavior what did they do uh you know were they followers after God or did they do other things in this case lot and lot's daughters tragedy very tragic that what happened a lot just because really of one of one decision you know a well wanted area you know he was just looking at the surface and on the surface he was a th% correct I'm going to do very well in this area and he did do very well but at the cost of his family his family was destroyed right um so so that you know that's an example right that's an example of what I'm talking about is we don't have the names of these individuals but we have their actions we have their thought process and here's the thing in this case we have the outcome outcome is not good okay we can definitely apply the events of lot and Sodom and gomorra and Lot's wife and lot's daughters absolutely to our lives uh Jesus talks about you know the end you know be in the days of Noah people went on with their lives as if nothing was happening with lot people with went on with their lives as if everything was going to continue on as it was until the Reigns came and until the fire and brimstone came and destroyed Sodom so questions comments will we go on yes Bob hold on we got a mic for you we got a microphone yeah this is Big Time Around Here Bob all right do not have names yes but uh when you stop and think all these people had a father and a mother yes and the father and the mother must have named their children yes so they have names but God in his wisdom uh hid the name prevented you and me from knowing these individuals right now I I absolutely agree with that Bob and you know um we don't have the names but they did have a name as you said right the names were very important in the Bible they had specific meaning a lot of times so I guess that's what kind of got me thinking names are so important even the name of the Lord Yahweh is very important it represents something more so why you know why are these people nameless in scripture I don't know but I just find it interesting but they absolutely had names yes oh I got text coming in hold on oh got it all right um let's let's switch gears for a little bit here um we don't have to turn turn to it in Genesis 39 what do we got for time beep up beep up um all right part of 's wife we don't know who what what her name was another cautionary tale another lesson in scripture for all of us um resisting temptation being put into situations that we may have trouble getting out of thankfully Joseph did get out of it but um yeah Piper's wife is going to change the whole trajectory of of Joseph's life right it's almost you know he was uh you know his whole life he's taken and he sold by his own Brothers despite the fact that he was wailing and weeping don't do this to me sent them down anyways as luck would have it and as the hand of God would have it he's got a pretty good gig in P Piper's house he's running the show he's the head servant um and you know it's like it's almost like hey this is the perfect job this is a perfect situation doing very well but you know things can change in a moment and this is what happens because of his position he's going to he's going to you know the eye of Piper's wife is going to be upon him and he did the right thing but he was punished for it he ran away from that situation but he was still punished for it and so you know often times we can that can be a tough thing right you in your mind you know we've done everything you know what you're supposed to do but the outcome doesn't match what you wanted it to be God has other plans for us you know Joseph on Joseph had to suffer he had to go through that struggle being in jail for you know a couple years as an innocent man as an innocent man falsely Accused by this woman unnamed cautionary tale right about and also just perseverance through struggle perseverance through life's challenges remaining faithful to God not despairing Joseph never despaired even though he had every right to he always hoped in God his salvation his Rock his Fortress and eventually he's brought out of prison and brought to Pharaoh he is Redeemed by God himself and brought up um to pharaoh and being second in command so again this whole thing happened with Piper's wife don't know who she is but she's part of the story isn't she about Redemption and also she's part of the story of God saving his people by bringing them down into Egypt from the famine so I just find a lot of that stuff really really interesting um and then along those lines you know even Pharaoh right the Pharaoh in The Exodus we're not we're not told who he is now historians have tried to put together you know who this was the you know and most historians say tentatively that it was probably Ramsey II but we you know we're not told like for instance Pharaoh Nico we're told about phoh noo right he's the one that killed Josiah okay he has a name uh Pharaoh Shack he came up against rone remember so they have names but not not a name for the Pharaoh of The Exodus number one but also Pharaoh's daughter we don't know who Pharaoh's daughter is okay she's not given a name but here's something interesting let's look at this so in Exodus 2 Pharaoh's daughter draws Moses out of one of the tributaries of uh or one of the canals of the Nile draws them out she he is adopted into the Royal household which is incredible wow but let's take a look at this um in first chonicles the 4th chapter now fourth the fourth uh chapter here first Chronicles uh you know we have a lot of genealogies um again there's a lot of history in genealogies that sometimes we can Overlook but any anyways this is interesting fourth chapter of first chonicles we're talking about the sons of Judah now and in the 18th chapter uh 18th verse for is this it right here yeah in the 18th verse of the fourth chapter of first corini uh Chronicles his wife je I'm not going to read all these names but go on okay and these are the sons of biia the daughter of pharaoh which mired took beia the daughter of pharaoh now is this Phar is this daughter here is it referring back to the the daughter of pharaoh here of exus I I don't know but it it seems to indicate that the daughter of pharaoh biia has children with Israelites in that 18th verse Bia is it the same daughter of Egypt uh daughter of pharaoh don't know I just find it extremely interesting right and um you know it is that is Pharaoh's daughter mentioned here in 1 Chronicles uh part of the story of Mo Moses and how does that all fit in how does that fit in with um you know we're talking about CA you know the Caleb and Judah these are the descendants of these individuals and and it looks like the Royal they married into the Royal household of pharaoh or something whatever that process was I don't know but she's mentioned viia daughter of pharaoh same Pharaoh same daughter Pharaoh's daughter of Moses don't know very interesting stuff though all right Brady how we doing buddy all right okay um few other people Jeff's daughter don't know her name incredible amount of Faith right she gave up her life and gave up um you know having children and a family and all that because of the oath that Jeff the took um you know this is kind of like one of these deals where what happened to Jeff Jeff's daughter you know was she was she uh burnt literally as a sacrifice I I don't believe so that was abhorent to God it would be abhorent to ancient Israel as well I believe she became part one of the uh the the Tabernacle women who um who helped with the Tabernacle who uh some of the you know the female um the female attendants that were part of it if you remember with Eli and his and his sons what were they doing sexual immorality with the female workers of the Tabernacle and so some have suggested that jeepa Jeep's daughter would have consecrated herself to service to God at the Tabernacle in some capacity and there there is a connection as well around this time where Samuel is going to be born and some have suggested that um Jeff's daughter unnamed was one of the women that would have help you know would have raised uh Samuel in this area so something to think about a woman of great faith who um put her own life's ambition on the back burner because of her faith in God don't know her name tremendous woman of Faith though the witched Endor you don't know her name um but obviously plays an important part with Saul and Samuel towards the end obviously of Saul's life God was not answering Saul through the traditional means right through prayer Visions the urum and the thorum that type of thing had withdrawn himself from Saul because he refused to listen it was always it was always Saul was always always doing something extra right or he wasn't doing enough uh I feel for all I really I really do but anyways um and so you know he he's like I got to find out what's going on this is important you know remember the massive um massive Army of Philistines are coming and um you know he goes to the witch of Endor and he's scared out of his mind right because Samuel does a vision of Samuel appears and everyone's freaked out uh and unfortunately him and his sons die on Mount gilboa during this time and a connection um you know this this this uh the Philistines are really just kind of driving uh kind of SP trying to split Israel into two that's why the battle happened up in Gilbo which up which is up in the north they were trying to kind of split Israel into two and you know make it you know just kind of wither wither it away you know um but anyways um here here's something something interesting in First Kings the 13th chapter the whole chapter is about two unnamed guys the man of God and the prophet don't know their names let's take a look at it uh First Kings 13 this is in the time of riobo and Jobo um verse 1 13th chapter first king K and behold there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord unto bethl and Jobo stood by the altar to burn incense and he cried against the altar in the word of the Lord and said oh altar altar thus saith the Lord Behold a child shall be born unto the House of David Josiah by name and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee and men's bone shall be PR on thee he goes on Behold The Altar shall be rent and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out so this man of God don't know his name passes judgment upon uh Jobo and the northern tribes because of their false worship of Yahweh they worshiped Yahweh brothers and sisters but they worshiped them in their own in their own way and they worship other gods as well okay so when we think they had their own Temple and everything in Samaria um but you know know it says that Jobo took people from the base you know the basis of the people and made them priests and changed the location of worship allowed high places to go on didn't allow the Levites to be part of um part of service which was commanded by God in other words he made up his own religion the name was still the same they still worship Yahweh but in their own way right it's another cautionary tale by an unnamed individual right man of God Comes This altar is going to be destroyed by Josiah he's mentioned by name so very important prophecy by this man of God there's another individual that he comes in contact with called The Prophet um let's see yeah answer the king the god uh yeah in verse 11 remember he's told not he's he's told not to stop anywhere you got to just boom you got to go do your job and then go but this in verse 11 now there dwelt an old prophet in bethl another unnamed guy but this Prophet is going to lie to the man of God's face and say no no no God said to come on in let's let's enjoy a meal together you know this Prophet wanted the blessing from this man of God okay it was very important to get a blessing um and so he lied to this guy and this the man of God is going to end up being um killed by a lion I believe right he's going to be killed um so anyways there's a whole chapter in scripture about two guys that have we don't know their names the whole chapter the man of God and the and the old Prophet okay lot of lessons in this in this chapter though isn't there even though we don't know the names of these two individuals lot of lessons life lessons for us okay um oh this is a good one this is one I like here in uh 2 Samuel uh 20 yeah this is a real good one people all right yeah and um so this is this is all unfortunately during the time of upheaval and chaos and Rebellion this is David right right after the rebellion of Absalom where really all Israel turned on David towards his son um Absalom but after that war after Absalom is killed and that kind of settles down there's another upheaval too this guy named uh this uh individual named uh he was a man of bile Sheba all right he was a Tribe of Benjamin right there's that connection with the house of Saul right the house of Saul is still kind of myth that David kind of took over everything and so there's still individual uals from the house of Saul from The Tribe of Benjamin that are interested in getting power back so everything was not all hunky dory in in um in David's Kingdom as we know there's a lot of ups and downs anyways um in where's this chapter here yeah this is where like a Mesa am Mesa was given uh control of the army by David because of what joab did he didn't listen to David to you know spear Absalom Jo's like nah and he ends up killing you know puts three dots in him and then sends his body God onto Absalom attack him to death um anyways he goes up to amesa right amesa has been given the captain ship um of the army of Israel joab wants it back so he goes up to amesa right are you in health my brother are you doing good how you how's your health sow right got the right under the fifth rib and just the treachery of joab right we know these guys names we don't know this wise woman though of AEL I was looking at it uh where is this yeah in verse 15 and they came and besieged in Abel this is where Sheba goes he goes and he kind of to this place uh unto Abel into Beth Maya and so he's hiding out here it was a fortress City it had a tower it was it was a fortress City and it was fortified and so in order to get Sheba out of there they were going to have to go through this very long Siege okay it was going to take time people were going to starve to death people were going to get killed all right so one woman again we don't know her name gave wise advice to joab okay verse 16 yeah in verse 15 and they cast up a bank against the city and it stood in the trench and all the people that were with joah battered the wall to throw it down all right this is it's getting real they dug trenches fortifications they're slamming you know they're trying to slam the walls down with battering rams it's it's not good verse 16 then tried a wise woman out of the city and pretty much without getting into it she says are you going to destroy to joab you going to destroy everybody in this in this city you going to wipe everybody out and joab's like no no no I don't I don't want to do that I don't want to swallow up everybody I don't want to destroy everyone Abel was a very it was a respected city as well okay it was a city that um that was respect respected within the community of Israelites I'm not 100% sure on why that is but it was an important city and so what she said was is um uh yeah in verse 18 they were want to speak in Old Times saying they shall surely ask counsel at Abel and so they ended the matter in other words Abel was a place where they would go to um to mediate big problems okay it was a kind of like a I don't know like a sacred city or a City where people would come that everyone knew we're going to try to mediate problems before it turned violent okay and Abel was one of those cities um and so yeah in verse 19 I am one of them that are Peaceable and faithful in Israel thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel why will thou swallow up the inheritance of the Lord so she's speaking really for all the innocent people in the city I'm faithful I I haven't turned on David all these people are faithful we're Peaceable people why do you want to destroy us just to get to this one guy and joab agrees because I don't want to do that at all and so the woman says hey I'll take care of it and then the next day sheba's head gets tossed over the wall so again great you know great little story here not mention what her name was a wise woman I if I if I was in scripture as a wise man I'd take it right but I still I still want to know like what's what's This Woman's name what's her backstory she's a wise woman that's what God calls her and she gave wise advice to joab along the same lines Brothers and Sisters of the wise advice that um Abigail gave David remember kind of the same a little same situation David's all like he's he was disrespected by nabal and all this and he's like that's it I'm going to I'm wiping everything out right and um you know Abigail's like whoa whoa whoa whoa hey take it easy we know Abigail's name but very similar this wise woman gave a lot of very similar advice right let's calm things down let's let's think about this there's got to be a better solution and I think when we have to be ready to listen to good advice this was good advice and joab took that advice and so for all of joab's faults and there were a lot he he usually made the right decision when it came to battle okay and this was the right decision he knew this was going to be a long drawn out Affair a lot of people were going to get killed it was it was going to be brutal and he he made the right decision and he says I just want the guy I just want Shea that's all I want and that's and that's what happened thanks to um the wise woman of Abel not knowing don't know her name but she did a great job in in saving a lot of innocent people in able all right where we got all right uh this will be our last uh our last slide so it's going to be a two-parter then it's a two-parter I think all right the last two here the Queen of Sheba uh now extra biblical sources particularly the Ethiopian Christian Church uh has a whole history with uh the queen of shebra and Solomon it's really fascinating I'm going to give you the cliff notes the Queen of Sheba goes up to see Solomon in all his glory okay um they are intimate with each other and from that Union uh she Shea gives birth to a line of kings that started there and goes all the way up to Holly kassi I think his name is and and that's a modern he was a modern you know if you guys know about like ree music and Bob Molly and stuff like that um this is where a lot of this comes comes from is they they believe that the descendants of Solomon and sheba are the Messiah okay this family Ethiopian royal family Bob Molly talks about a lot of that kind you know um and that's really was like part of his kind of spiritual religious Outlook was you know we're going to we're going to bring this this Messiah to the world from Ethiopia right so anyways R say again rosarian correct thank you Jim yes um now last one we're going to take a look at and this is kind of this is one of my favorites I think because it's so you know and it it involves you know a lot of different people that is interesting what do we got okay yeah I'm GNA do this quick in Second Kings the 5th chapter uh Second Kings 5 Cino all right so let's take a look at these uh couple verses here in verse one now Naaman captain of the host of the king of Syria first of all that's that's a very powerful position this guy was the general of all the forces of Syria okay no joke very powerful guy was a great man with his master and honorable because by him the Lord had given Deliverance unto Syria he was also a mighty man in Valor but he was a leper just as an aside he's not going to be the only leper Commander that history knows about during the Middle Ages um King Baldwin who was a king in Jerusalem the C the the Europeans are going to control Jerusalem for about a 100 years there's going to be one king his name's King Baldwin he's only going to live to like be 25 he had leprosy if you ever seen King the movie Kingdom of Heaven uh he's the he's the king that wears kind of like a silver mask uh in order to kind of cover up the the lesions and so forth on his face true story he was a leper great king very respected but he had leprosy and it's going to end up killing him same with Naaman he's a great man but he's got leprosy and we all know leprosy is and I often think about this how could he do his job right he's got leprosy but he's he's leading a bunch of men to battle maybe he it was just you know he maybe he had just gotten it or it wasn't like Advanced leprosy you're not doing anything you're in constant pain it's awful awful anyways um verse two I'll take a look at this in the syrians okay non non's um soldiers and the syrians had gone out by companies raiding parties and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid and she waited on naaman's wife a little maid from Israel don't know her name and not only don't do we not know her name she was forcibly taken from her family and her country and her people to serve syrians to serve non's wife as a female slave she was a female slave okay live now listen this there were different types of slave categories all right this was a pretty this was a very nice job okay you're in a very wealthy home um waiting on the Mistress of the house they were a lot worse slave jobs but just think about that mentality what type of like mindset would we have where your enemy the head enemy of your people has leprosy the enemy that took you from your own family to live up in Syria what would your mindset be well let's see what this little Maid does oh here's my opportunity I'm gonna Stick it to this guy he's got it coming all right here's this verse three and she said unto her mistress would go God my Lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria for he would recover him of his leprosy wow she she's actually concerned about non and about you know the leprosy that I think just manifested itself I think the leprosy really just kind of just manifested itself and so they're trying to figure out well how how are we going to how are we going to deal with this situation and so this little girl no name has the faith in the wherewithal to say Hey you know there's a guy in Samaria a prophet of God he would absolutely heal you of your leprosy little girl that was taken away to her enemy but still has this faith in God that God can help help my enemy this Syrian we don't know her name but is because of her faith and really her her love and care for her fellow human being even though they had caused such upset in her life still has the wherewithal on the faith to say go go see go go see the prophet in Samaria and because of that naan is going to be healed he's going to be healed of his leprosy um and I think that's a great example of an unnamed named individual making the right decision showing love uh having faith in God despite their circumstances um and so like you know these these types of things just kind of make me think you know and they um and I love stories like this because you know we don't we're not given all the information but we're given enough information to have it work on ourselves to have it work on our hearts so we can apply these lessons good and bad to our lives forever in these uh types of situations so we'll stop there uh we next
