The Depths of God's Wisdom and Knowledge

Amen. Our text we find in Romans chapter 11. It's now a number of times that I've spoken on this Word in these days. Romans 11 verse 33. Oh, the depths of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!

How unsearchable His judgments and His paths beyond tracing out. We'll end reading there. Our text says, Oh, the depths of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments and His paths beyond tracing out.

God is great. He cannot fathom His ways, neither His judgments. And His riches, it's so broad, it's so deep. We'll never be able to fully understand and grasp it. And I said at the funeral as well that your animal, whether it be your dog, whatever animal of yours it might be, that animal will not be able to understand your ways.

And the same with us, only a thousand times more, we will never be able to understand and grasp God's ways. If a person tries to understand and grasp the heights and the depths and the width of God, that will only cause that person to go of his mind.

I remember a certain person coming to me one day saying, I know who has given me birth. And I know who has given them birth. And all the genealogies right back to Adam. How God created heaven and earth.

Now who has given God birth? How did God come about? Now our brains are so puny, so small, that we'll never be able to fathom the riches of God. If we would be able to understand everything about God, then he would just be like us, an ordinary human being on our level without any divinity.

One person said that if God would be according to your imagination and your thinking, your feelings, if you would fully understand him, and he would be exactly according to how you want him to be. He said, I wouldn't hesitate calling that God, the fool of your imagination.

And he even said, an idiot of your imagination. God is God. He is exalted, and you will not be able to fully fathom him. You are a worm of the earth, just like an ant on the earth. That's why the word says, know the depths of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God.

There are lakes that are crystal clear, pools of water where you can see right through to the bottom. But if you look at the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God, you cannot fathom those depths. He is much greater than that, much higher, much deeper.

Job Learns Humility Before God's Counsel

Job cried out when a messenger came to him and said, all your camels have been stolen. Your cattle, your sheep, they've all been stolen. And he received the message that all 10 of his children had passed away at the same time.

And he himself had boils and sores on his body, right from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet. And his wife said, why don't you just curse God and die? He said, you speak like a giving him sound advice.

In the meantime, they were just going along the sides, not hitting at the point. Speaking a lot of fairy tales, so to say. Some people are very quick in giving advice. It would have been better if they shut their mouths, because at the end, God said, I'll never forgive you speaking about those friends of Job, unless you go to him and ask him to pray for you.

We, people of the earth, we need advisors and counselors, and kings also need counselors and advisors. But who will be God's advisor and counselor? It was also so difficult for Job that eventually he said, Lord, it would have been better had my day of birth been cursed.

It would have been better had I perished in my mother's womb. Or maybe just after my birth had died, rather than meeting up with us. Confused, not knowing any longer where his head or tail. And then God replied to Job.

He said, Job, get up and girdle your loins like a man and reply me now. Answer to these questions that I put to you. He said, were you there the day I created the earth? Do you know what measurements I gave to the earth?

Do you know how I set things up? And God asked him simple things about crows, for example. Where they get their food. And where certain birds lay their eggs and how they bring them up. Asking him about certain animals and about the lions.

He said, brace yourself like a man and I'll question you. And you answer me now, because you are asking me certain questions as if you are finding fault with my ways. As if my ways are not perfect. And then Job repented.

He said, oh God, forgive me. I put my hand on my mouth and I won't say anything anymore. And he became wise. And we too. And we would much sooner put our hands on our mouths and shut our mouths, we'd also become wise.

Human Knowledge Compared With God's Wisdom

Oh the depths of the richness of the wisdom and knowledge of God are unsearchable, his judgments. If you look at the skies, at the stars, people today with their scientific knowledge can tell you the distance that the stars are from the earth.

They can tell you how they move in the skies. And they can tell you about their seasons and about their hours and even the minutes. They've even fathomed the depths of the sea at different places. They can tell you at this place the sea is so deep, at that place it's so deep.

Man's knowledge has increased. It's great. They can tell you all those things. But when it comes to the depths of the riches and the wisdom of God, man is an utter fool. He doesn't know anything. He's absolutely stupid.

He doesn't understand a thing. Nothing. Even though today you've got cars that go on their own, whereas in the past they had to be pulled by horse. In the year 1870 -1700, Pope Francis said, I don't know anything.

I don't know anything. I don't know anything. I don't know anything. In the 1700s, there was a woman that said she had seen a car that was going on its own. An automobile going on its own, not pulled by horses or by anything else, but just going on its own.

Eventually they put her in an asylum. But today, we have those cars all over. Those people that put her into the asylum, they should have been put in there. We would say that today. That is the scientific knowledge that there is today.

The Shoplifting Story and the Limits of Human Technology

Now, Uncle Ernie there in Dalton, in his stores, in his shops, he's got closed circuit television cameras that are there as a security precaution. And they record everything that everybody is doing in the shop.

And when people steal and they put things into their pockets, it records them. Now, a certain young man came into the shop. He looked around, didn't see anybody looking at him. So he started filling his pockets with stuff, with goods from the shop.

After he had filled all his pockets, he didn't have any space left anymore to put anything else in there. They went to him and they said to him, what is all that in your pockets? He said, what are you talking about?

There's nothing. They said, come with us. And they went into the office. And they switched on the video. And they showed him the whole video from the time he came into the shop, how it recorded his movements, how he put things into his pockets.

And he was just staring at this with his mouth aghast. And then the owner of the shop said, or the person said, what do you say now? He said, my, is technology already as advanced as this? And he said, now I want to hear what you've got to say.

He said, no, my, is technology as advanced as this? And that's all that he could say. He was just amazed at this technology. He didn't even say sorry about what he had done or anything about it. Yes, technology is advanced.

But if you take that knowledge of man and you take it to God, then you see that it is no better than the knowledge of a donkey about a man, if you compare our knowledge about God. All the depths of the riches of God.

Of the wisdom and knowledge of God and our unsearchable judgments. Job didn't realize that there was a battle, a war in heaven, where Satan appeared to God. And he said to God, have you not seen? Then God said to him, God said to the devil, did you see my servant on earth and how faithfully he is serving me?

And the devil said, yes. I've taken note of him, but one can understand that he serves you because after all you've blessed him mightily. You've given him wealth, you've given him these children and you've blessed him.

Well that's what people like, isn't that so? You tell people come to Jesus and then you'll be blessed. You'll have a motor car, you'll have this and that and people jump for that, that's what they want.

And God said, no, he's serving me with his heart. And the devil said, just allow me to take away his possessions and those blessings with which you've blessed him. To take away his children, all his wealth, to even enter into his wife that she becomes like a foolish woman and stands on Satan's side.

And then you'll see how he'll turn his back upon you. Let me take his three closest friends and that they turn against him and you'll see, he will forsake you. And Job's life became a battleground between God and Satan.

But Job didn't understand anything of that, he didn't know about it at all. And then eventually he put his hand on his mouth, we won't ever understand God's ways. All that is required of us is to humble ourselves, to submit ourselves underneath God's powerful hand.

God's Judgment in the Flood and Human Wickedness

And then it says, how unsearchable his judgments. God's judgments that are unfathomable. Let's look in the Bible about God's judgments with the coming of the flood. Before that time of Noah's flood, the people on the earth became utterly corrupted.

All their thinking, all their inventions, their imaginations, they were utterly evil and wicked before God. Everything that they were thinking about was sexually deprived. And then they sinned sexually in a way that goes above our understanding, but that caused God's anger and wrath to come down on them after they had given birth to giants.

Now we can ask today, how did they do it? How did it work? And one person says this, another person says that, but let it suffice that they were utterly corrupted, they had fallen very low in their sinning and their immorality and perversion before God.

And one person says this, another person says that, but let it suffice that they were utterly corrupted, they had fallen very low in their sinning and their immorality and perversion before God. In Romans 1 we read that although they knew God, they neither glorified God nor gave thanks to Him.

They didn't worship Him, and for that reason God gave them over to the sinful desires of their hearts, to sexual impurity, for degrading their bodies was one another. And they even exchanged the natural desires for where they started having the desire for the same sex.

If you don't serve God, then God will give you over to that, that you cannot think about anything else but sex from morning till night. Why do people fall into sin? Why do young people, you find girls speaking over their cell phones?

Boys and girls, even here at Sisyphus, it's not done. It's not done. A person who does it should go today, pack his clothes and go. You are over that devil. We don't do it here. We've got apartheid. But you'll find people all in the Christian life falling into sin.

Why? Because they don't serve God as they should. They look on and God hands them over to the lusts of the flesh. Because a person is lukewarm, God gives him over to those sexual lusts. And God said to Job, to Noah, in his grace, He said, Noah, I grieve that I have made men, and I'm going to wipe them from the face of the earth, but I'm going to give them 120 years to repent.

Noah's Ark and the Unsearchable Judgment of God

How unsearchable, his judgments. Look at that, God found only one man and his family on the whole earth that were righteous before him. God judges sin. He'll judge the sin that there is on the earth today, and He'll judge that sin in your life.

You won't escape that. Whether you're a Christian or no Christian, God will judge that sin. You don't break with that sin. The wrath of God is upon your life. For 120 years, God was patient with him. And then God commanded Noah to build that ark, and he started building it.

And the people came to him and said, Noah, what are you doing? He said, I'm building an ark. They said, my, here on dry ground, in the mountains where there is no sea. And they mocked Noah. They said, Noah, what are you doing?

He said, I'm building an ark. And God, however, trusted Noah trusted in God, and he believed God. And so, he completed that task God gave him, and then God sent the animals to come in. And eventually, Noah and his family also entered into the ark.

And then God locked the door. And then the fountains of the deep broke open from below and from above. The water spouted out and poured forth. And then all the people started coming there to the ark. And even Noah's own relatives started crying to him, saying, open for us, we want to enter.

And Noah said, I didn't close the door, God himself locked the door. And it was difficult for the ladies, the women that were in labor. Those that were pregnant with child. It was difficult for the older women.

The younger people, they started running up the mountains, maybe climbing up into the trees. And the water steadily rose all the time. The unsearchable judgments of God. Nobody ever could imagine that God would destroy the earth with a flood.

But Noah, the head of that family, together with his family, they were saved. Nobody could ever understand and fathom the judgments of God. How God would judge them and destroy them and wipe them out.

But only Noah and his family were saved and rescued. And eventually, after some years, Sodom and Gomorrah came about. And they were filled with lust towards the same sex, where they were homosexuals. And all they could speak about was, this person has now got an affair with that person.

And this person's got a relationship with that person. That's all they could speak about. The same thing that you find today, even at work, where people speak together. That's what they speak about. But today you find governments legalizing homosexuality, and even churches where they say, well, we will be prepared to marry men to men.

In some countries, if you speak against it, they'll even throw you into jail. That's how unsearchable the judgments of God. Because the storm clouds gathered together around Sodom and Gomorrah. But then it didn't rain down rain or hailstones, but fire.

Who would ever imagine that fire would rain down from heaven? But it happened there. Hell came down upon Sodom and Gomorrah. And where those sexual lusts arise in their bodies. Don't doubt about this.

That same fire that came down and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, will come down and destroy you as well. Unless you repent from that sin. How unsearchable is His judgments? And now we're expecting the final, the last judgment.

The judgment of the law and the judgment of the evil. The law will be revealed to them at the end of the world. But before that? But before it happens, the law is revealed to them. Just before the gates of hell open, and before the gates of hell open, new ones will come in.

And they will come in. And now we're expecting the final, the last judgment of God, as God judged the world in Noah's time by destroying it with a global flood, and he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with his judgment, when his judgment came down upon them, when he destroyed them by fire.

We're now expecting the final judgment of God, when God will judge and destroy the whole earth and all the elements with fire. Oh, how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways, his paths beyond tracing out.

Joseph's Suffering and God's Hidden Providence

Now let me stop with these unsearchable judgments, and I'll speak about his paths beyond tracing out. If we take in the Bible, for example, Joseph. Now, he cried to his brothers, and he said, please, don't sell me as a slave.

Don't sell me as a slave into a foreign land, into Egypt. Don't separate me from my home, from my family. But they hardened their hearts, and eventually they sold him off after they had first thrown him into a pit, and they wanted to kill him there.

And then he went to Egypt, and then he was found and bought by Potiphar. His wife, who was an evil, loose, immoral woman, she looked for opportunities to be alone with Joseph, to take him to bed with her, and eventually she got the opportunity where she grabbed hold of him.

And he said, but how can I sin against my boss, who trusts me so much, he's given me everything, but he's only withhold you from me, how can I sin against him like this? And he ran from her, he slipped like a slippery eel from between her fingers.

And he just left his cloak there, his mantle in her hands. And then when Potiphar came back, she said to him, just look at this, this is Joseph's jacket, his cloak, he wanted to rape me. And Potiphar was furious, and he threw Joseph into jail, he was going to stay there for the rest of his life.

The ways of God are beyond tracing out. Joseph was there in jail for many years, eventually he helped somebody there in jail, and then he said, when you get out, please don't tell Pharaoh that I'm in jail here, innocent, I'm not guilty at all.

But his friends went out and forgot about him. His paths are beyond tracing out, we cannot understand God's ways. Now probably Joseph said, well, that's the end of me, there's no hope. But in the meantime, God's ways were much greater.

Until God's time came. And then Pharaoh had a dream. Nobody could explain that dream. And then, that person whom Joseph had helped in jail, who was restored to his position as Kapera to Pharaoh, he then remembered Joseph.

And he said, oh, Pharaoh, our king, there's somebody there in jail who can explain dreams, he'll be able to help you. And then he had him fetched, Joseph came, he was able to explain the dream of the king, of Pharaoh, and then he was exalted to a position only second to Pharaoh himself in the whole country.

Egypt was a superpower at that time, as America is a superpower in the world today. His paths are beyond tracing out. Just look at how Joseph's brothers had treated him. How they had even tore apart that multicolored coat that he had, and they slaughtered a goat, and they poured some blood on it, and they took it to their father.

And he said, oh, do you see this, do you recognize this? He said, it's of my son Joseph. A wild animal must have torn him to pieces. How unsearchable God's judgments and his paths are beyond tracing out.

And he said, oh, Pharaoh, our king, there's somebody there in jail who can explain dreams, he'll be able to help you. Joseph cried, he said, oh, nobody is taking note of me, nobody cares for me. And he didn't understand that that was God's way of lifting him up and placing him as a ruler.

Eventually his own brothers came, they bowed down before him, his father. You men of God, don't say, well, this is the end of my life. You remain true to God. In the end, God will lift you up. Submit to God.

Be faithful to Him. Stay true to God. And in the end, you will laugh. In the end, you will be full of joy. It will be like you're floating in the air when you see what God does in your life. His paths are beyond tracing out.

You might be at an end to yourself, of yourself. You might not understand how things are going, whether you're going forwards or backwards. But don't forget, in the meantime, God has got the reins in His hands.

Christ's Crucifixion and the Cost of Redemption

He's in control, in full control. Let me come to the last point. Come with me. Let's go to Golgotha. And behold, the Son of God being crucified with His back being plowed open, so to say, like a field.

With His lungs visible from the back, nobody suffered like Him. God forsook Him to such an extent that He cried out, He said, My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me? Carrying, bearing Your sin. It was terrible.

It was difficult. It was beyond bearing. And even the sun covered its face and it became dark at midday. And even the earth trembled and shook. His paths are beyond tracing out. Jesus was red with blood.

Not human blood, but divine blood. That blood dripped to the ground. And that was the most evil and wicked thing that could have been done. That was the darkest time and period on earth. It was pitch black.

Never ever before and after that had anything so evil been done. But just look at God's unsearchable ways through that most evil thing that had been done. You and I are helped if you are helped. In 1 Peter chapter 1 verse 12, the last part it says, Even angels long to look into these things.

The Gospel Displayed in Transformed Lives

That is the gospel. That is the working of the blood of Jesus in our lives. That is God's working within us. Do you read this? Do you hear this? That it says even the angels long to look into these things.

They long to see the working of the gospel in the lives of men. If one is in heaven, there shouldn't be anything else that you would desire to see. Because you've got everything. That which no human eye has ever seen, that which no human ear has ever heard, is there in heaven.

The thing we can't understand, if you're in heaven, the glories of heaven, you shouldn't wish for anything else. But those in heaven desire to see in you what the grace of God can do. Those in heaven, see the best.

You shouldn't wish for anything else. No desire to see anything else. But they want to see in you what the blood of Jesus can do. What the grace of God can do. What the gospel can do. It's worth more to them than the glories of heaven.

To see what God can do in your livers. That is what you're going to see. And what's in your livers. What's in your livers that you may consist of unto your loved ones. What's in your livers. The glory of God in your lives is greater than the glory in heaven.

Because there the angels, the holy angels in heaven, They desire to see what the gospel of Jesus Christ can do. In your livers. In your livers. Shame upon you. If your life is a disgrace, you're fit for hell.

The angels want to see in your life the greatness of the gospel. As to how great the gospel is. In Ephesians it says that God wants to display the greatness of his glory to the heavenly angels in and through the church.

And the gospel in your life, young man, young woman. But what do they see? Do they see you defiling yourself with your own hands? What do they see in your life? Mother, do they see you taking the side of your child who's turned his back upon God?

As I say that Jesus will see of the travail of his soul and be satisfied. When Jesus sees what his death has done in your life. That he says it's been worth it all. It's been worth it all. And he'll be satisfied.

When Jesus looks at your life, dear brother, dear sister. Is he satisfied? As he, the here and now, your gate. Is it a freedom? That's the birth that has started on the cross. Then the holy angels come and say, we want to see as well.

Let me see in their lives. Let me see in Elo's life. In Mario's life. In David's life. In Christ's life. What the gospel can do. And what do they see? What do they see in your life? Those in heaven. The host of heaven.

The angelic host. What do they observe in your life? Is it gossip? Unkind words? Unfriendly deals? What can I call you? Man and woman of hell. Have I got to repeat that? Fall into sin. Carry on and then you fall into sin again.

Disgrace. Shame on you. Go to break gallons. Alcohol. And now barman the beer. Is Jesus satisfied? Is he happy? As he has seen. And the angels. Angels. Do they want to see that? If your life is not such that the holy angels want to see for you the holiness of God.

If it is not so. Then come to repentance today. Don't tell me that silly nonsense. I have accepted the Lord Jesus. I have accepted the Lord Jesus. I believe in the Lord. The devil also believes. No satan will call him.

No satan will call him. What do they see in your life? From the crown of your head to the soles of your feet. The gospel that is preached today is a cheap gospel. But let you repent today. And that it will be the day where you change.

Where your life will be different. I remember. Now this is meant for you ladies. The men know nothing about this. A certain woman almost died giving in childbirth. She had a terrible pain. We men know nothing of birth pangs.

But it is said that if the wife would give birth to the first child and the husband to the second. There won't ever be a third. They've got big families. And they said we want one child upon the other.

And I said what about your dear wife? It's nothing. If she dies I'll get another one. And she'll give birth to children like that as well. With no feeling. Russian men can be very hard. The Russian Christians.

Repentance as the Evidence of Christ's Travail

If you have to be a Christian. What do you do? That's what your wife said. If there is no wedding ceremony. What do you do? That is the worst thing to do. And that's not the way to do it. If you want to be a leader in your family.

God won't give birth to any child. That he will give birth to the third child. It has been worth it all. I spoke to that woman who almost died during childbirth, and I said to her, what was it like? She said it was terrible.

The pains were terrible. I thought it was the end. But when they brought my little baby to me, and I embraced that baby, it was like oil on the wounds. I said it was worth it all. Is that what Jesus says concerning you?

Such travail, pain you went through, such agony. He went down to hell, must have been hell to him for you. But when he looks at you today, does he smile? Is he well pleased? Say, I couldn't wish for anything better.

And the holy angels, when they see that smile, they say, Lord, we'd like to look into that life as well, and see what your glorious redemption and gospel can do. They look away from heavenly things, look onto this earth of sin, and they want to see the glory of God in your life, which they can't behold up there.

Oh, his paths are beyond tracing out. He's dying for you on the cross on Golgotha. So that through his ways, and those ways might be evident in your life, not the glories of heaven, but the glories of the gospel bringing about God's glory in your and my life.

They would like to see what unity and oneness is brought about by the blood of the Lord Jesus amongst the brethren, amongst God's people. But what do they see? Do they see people getting irritated with each other, people scandaling and slandering each other, going apart from each other?

Prayer for Spiritual Blindness to Be Removed

What do they see? I'm sorry, but my word has got Swiss lacquers. It's inexpressible. I'm sorry that I can't make it plainer and clearer to you. I can only pray, oh God, Holy Spirit, reveal it to these people.

Take the blindness away. Open their eyes that they know what it's all about. I'm sorry, but my word has got Swiss lacquers. It's inexpressible. I'm sorry that I can't make it plainer and clearer to you.

I can only pray, oh God, Holy Spirit, reveal it to these people. Take the blindness away. Open their eyes that they know what it's all about. I can only pray, oh God, Holy Spirit, reveal it to these people.

Open their eyes that they know what it's all about. I'm sorry, but my word has got Swiss lacquers. I'm sorry that I can't make it plainer and clearer to you. I can only pray, oh God, Holy Spirit, reveal it to these people.

Take the blindness away. Open their eyes that they know what it's all about. I'm sorry, but my word has got Swiss lacquers. I'm sorry that I can't make it plainer and clearer to you. I can only pray, oh God, Holy Spirit, reveal it to these people.

I pray that that which I can't say and express in words, that that will be visible when the heavenly angels look down on you, that they'll see it. The Bible says we can't attain what's up there. It's inexpressible.

And may that which your life is and what they see in your life, that it can't be expressed in words, that they'll see it and be satisfied. And the holy angels, when they desire to see that, that they'll see it and say, Oh, marvelous, Lord Jesus, we didn't know that your grace is so big.

We didn't know that your blood can sanctify and cleanse in such a way. The Bible says we can't attain what's up there. It's inexpressible. And may that which your life is and what they see in your life,.

And the holy angels, when they desire to see that, that it can't be expressed in words, that they'll see it and be satisfied. And the holy angels will say, Oh, marvelous Lord Jesus, we didn't know that your glory is so big.

We didn't know that your blood can sanctify and cleanse in such a way. The Bible says we can't attain what's up there. Communist dictator had killed many people. He had murdered millions through his life.

They were killed. But on his deathbed, it is said that those that came into the room, they saw him lying on his bed, pointing upwards, pointing upwards. I don't know what he saw there, whether he saw the wrath of God or whether he saw the grace of God.

But I would marvel at the grace of God if I would see Stalin in heaven one day. Say, oh, my God's grace is great, indescribable. But where do you come from? Think of your past sins. Think where you came from.

See how you have sinned, unless you are damned and you have never seen yourself as a sinner. And Jesus didn't come for you, but he came for sinners. Now our life should be such as when the angels look, that they say, my, the grace of God is great.

God's Grace and the Transformation of Sinners

Just look at, see it in his life, visible. The grace of God is great, indescribable. But where do you come from? Think of your past sins. Think where you came from. See how you have sinned, unless you are damned and you have never seen yourself as a sinner.

And Jesus didn't come for you, but he came for sinners. Oh, how unsearchable the judgments of God when people enter hell with their eyes open, alive, entering hell because of the judgment of God. But oh, how his ways are beyond tracing out when he takes a man of the earth, a sinful man, a man that is immoral, that's a thief, that's a murderer.

And he takes that person and he uses that person to show forth his glory. They say they want to see what this person is like, this African that lives an immoral life, brings about illegitimate children into the world.

And that person, that white, that Afrikaner, English, whatever nationality it might be, what is wrought by the gospel in that person's life? Forget about your husband. This is what God wants to see in you.

Forget about your wife, your children. This is what God will say in your living. And so it appears. I want to see what does the blood of Jesus bring about in a young person's life? Where a young girl is driven by lust, she just wants men, she wants to get married even before she's reached puberty, where that fire burns.

I want to see what is brought about when the blood of Jesus works in such a life. When the fire of hell burns on the lips, that's where it burns. Then women gossip and talk of things they shouldn't do.

And some men are inoculated by that as well. And they say, we want to see what the gospel does in the life of such a person. And if it's not like that, I fear that we are damned forever. As standards.

Shall we pray? Lord Jesus, may your gospel not be in vain to us. I ask you O Lord. May not one who calls himself your child, where your glory is not seen and evident in our lives. Amen.
