00:11:21.220 --> 00:11:22.639
Isn't<00:11:21.419><c> that</c><00:11:21.639><c> incredible?</c>

00:11:23.620 --> 00:11:24.659

00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:28.919

00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:04.100
We<00:13:02.019><c> need</c><00:13:02.159><c> to</c><00:13:02.399><c> ask</c><00:13:02.620><c> ourselves</c><00:13:03.080><c> this,</c><00:13:03.539><c> brethren</c><00:13:03.600><c> and</c><00:13:03.820><c> sisters,</c>

00:13:19.059 --> 00:13:23.620
That's<00:13:19.620><c> the</c><00:13:19.740><c> word,</c><00:13:20.840><c> that</c><00:13:21.059><c> we</c><00:13:21.179><c> should</c><00:13:21.399><c> not</c><00:13:21.799><c> serve</c><00:13:22.559><c> sin.</c>

00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:01.900
I<00:19:58.779><c> asked</c><00:19:58.980><c> you</c><00:19:59.180><c> already</c><00:19:59.559><c> what</c><00:19:59.720><c> the</c><00:19:59.920><c> most</c><00:20:00.599><c> famous</c><00:20:01.339><c> quote</c>

00:20:15.460 --> 00:20:16.259
this<00:20:15.700><c> day</c>

00:20:21.099 --> 00:20:24.619
Now,<00:20:21.660><c> that</c><00:20:21.920><c> doesn't</c><00:20:22.160><c> mean</c><00:20:22.359><c> they</c><00:20:22.460><c> were</c><00:20:22.640><c> just</c><00:20:23.319><c> kind</c><00:20:23.599><c> of</c><00:20:23.759><c> running</c><00:20:24.059><c> rampant</c>

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:28.980
but<00:20:26.140><c> what</c><00:20:26.299><c> it</c><00:20:26.460><c> means</c><00:20:26.660><c> is</c><00:20:26.900><c> during</c><00:20:27.200><c> their</c><00:20:27.480><c> wilderness</c><00:20:27.960><c> journeying,</c>

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:35.960

00:20:36.380 --> 00:20:37.740
They<00:20:36.519><c> hadn't</c><00:20:36.839><c> settled</c><00:20:37.180><c> in</c><00:20:37.440><c> anywhere.</c>

00:20:38.180 --> 00:20:41.200
The<00:20:38.480><c> tabernacle</c><00:20:39.119><c> would</c><00:20:39.299><c> be</c><00:20:39.599><c> moved</c><00:20:39.819><c> at</c><00:20:40.000><c> the</c><00:20:40.240><c> promptings</c><00:20:40.599><c> of</c><00:20:40.900><c> God</c>

and<00:20:41.559><c> they</c><00:20:41.680><c> would</c><00:20:41.960><c> set</c><00:20:42.079><c> up</c><00:20:42.259><c> again</c>

00:20:42.539 --> 00:20:44.259
and<00:20:42.759><c> the</c><00:20:43.160><c> offerings</c><00:20:43.460><c> would</c><00:20:43.720><c> take</c><00:20:44.000><c> place.</c>

00:20:44.460 --> 00:20:47.660
They<00:20:44.660><c> had</c><00:20:44.900><c> their</c><00:20:45.220><c> system</c><00:20:45.599><c> established</c><00:20:46.240><c> under</c><00:20:46.480><c> the</c><00:20:46.740><c> law,</c>

00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:52.019
where<00:20:50.119><c> it</c><00:20:50.220><c> would</c><00:20:50.460><c> no</c><00:20:50.700><c> longer</c><00:20:51.039><c> be</c><00:20:51.339><c> so</c><00:20:51.660><c> flexible.</c>

00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:54.920
It<00:20:52.180><c> would</c><00:20:52.480><c> settle</c><00:20:52.740><c> into</c><00:20:52.980><c> the</c><00:20:53.220><c> land</c><00:20:53.519><c> and</c><00:20:53.839><c> it</c><00:20:53.980><c> would</c><00:20:54.180><c> focus</c><00:20:54.599><c> upon</c>

a<00:20:55.279><c> place.</c>

00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:58.720
And<00:20:57.099><c> this</c><00:20:57.200><c> is</c><00:20:57.319><c> what</c><00:20:57.420><c> God</c><00:20:57.640><c> is</c><00:20:57.920><c> saying.</c>

00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:01.339
He<00:20:59.039><c> says</c><00:20:59.119><c> you're</c><00:20:59.539><c> not</c><00:20:59.779><c> when</c><00:20:59.960><c> you</c><00:21:00.160><c> get</c><00:21:00.299><c> to</c><00:21:00.500><c> that</c><00:21:00.740><c> place</c>

00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.559
Those<00:21:16.099><c> words</c><00:21:16.400><c> of</c><00:21:16.779><c> condemnation</c><00:21:17.480><c> four</c><00:21:18.000><c> times</c>

00:22:35.140 --> 00:22:37.579

00:22:40.779 --> 00:22:42.359

This<00:22:53.640><c> is</c><00:22:53.799><c> the</c><00:22:53.960><c> desire</c><00:22:54.240><c> of</c><00:22:54.420><c> the</c><00:22:54.619><c> Father</c><00:22:54.940><c> for</c><00:22:55.160><c> us,</c>

is<00:24:17.619><c> saying,</c><00:24:17.940><c> when</c><00:24:19.099><c> you're</c><00:24:19.359><c> there</c><00:24:19.700><c> and</c><00:24:19.980><c> they're</c><00:24:20.220><c> all</c><00:24:20.440><c> cut</c><00:24:20.680><c> off,</c>

00:24:21.140 --> 00:24:22.599
don't<00:24:21.460><c> follow</c><00:24:21.859><c> their</c><00:24:22.119><c> ways.</c>

00:24:23.059 --> 00:24:25.240
Well,<00:24:23.200><c> you</c><00:24:23.259><c> might</c><00:24:23.359><c> say,</c><00:24:23.500><c> well,</c><00:24:23.680><c> how</c><00:24:23.859><c> could</c><00:24:24.000><c> they</c><00:24:24.119><c> do</c><00:24:24.319><c> it?</c>

00:24:25.819 --> 00:24:27.839
If<00:24:26.000><c> they</c><00:24:26.140><c> were</c><00:24:26.200><c> just</c><00:24:26.519><c> faithful</c><00:24:26.859><c> and</c><00:24:27.099><c> obedient</c><00:24:27.460><c> to</c><00:24:27.660><c> God,</c>

00:24:27.859 --> 00:24:29.619
how<00:24:28.039><c> could</c><00:24:28.200><c> they</c><00:24:28.359><c> do</c><00:24:28.579><c> it?</c>

00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:31.220
And<00:24:30.000><c> of</c><00:24:30.140><c> course,</c><00:24:30.339><c> they</c><00:24:30.480><c> couldn't.</c>

00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:35.779
But<00:24:32.279><c> God</c><00:24:32.619><c> knows</c><00:24:32.940><c> how</c><00:24:33.200><c> the</c><00:24:33.740><c> propensities</c><00:24:34.559><c> work.</c>

00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.420
So<00:24:37.839><c> he</c><00:24:37.980><c> says</c><00:24:38.140><c> in</c><00:24:38.319><c> verse</c><00:24:39.039><c> 30,</c><00:24:39.680><c> as</c><00:24:39.759><c> we</c><00:24:39.920><c> continue</c><00:24:40.339><c> on,</c>

00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:46.619
take<00:24:42.240><c> heed</c><00:24:42.539><c> to</c><00:24:42.779><c> thyself</c><00:24:44.019><c> that</c><00:24:44.660><c> thou</c><00:24:44.880><c> be</c><00:24:45.079><c> not</c><00:24:45.359><c> snared</c><00:24:45.660><c> by</c><00:24:46.039><c> following</c><00:24:46.380><c> them</c>

00:24:46.619 --> 00:24:48.740
after<00:24:46.960><c> that</c><00:24:47.099><c> they</c><00:24:47.220><c> be</c><00:24:47.420><c> destroyed</c><00:24:47.859><c> from</c><00:24:48.099><c> before</c><00:24:48.500><c> thee,</c>

00:24:48.980 --> 00:24:52.059
and<00:24:49.140><c> that</c><00:24:49.319><c> thou</c><00:24:49.539><c> inquire</c><00:24:50.339><c> not</c><00:24:50.660><c> after</c><00:24:51.039><c> their</c><00:24:51.400><c> gods,</c>

00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:56.019
saying,<00:24:53.000><c> how</c><00:24:53.160><c> did</c><00:24:53.339><c> these</c><00:24:53.660><c> nations</c><00:24:54.160><c> serve</c><00:24:54.680><c> their</c><00:24:54.980><c> gods?</c>

00:24:56.140 --> 00:24:58.519
Even<00:24:56.480><c> so</c><00:24:56.759><c> will</c><00:24:56.900><c> I</c><00:24:57.079><c> do</c><00:24:57.299><c> likewise.</c>

00:24:59.380 --> 00:25:02.279
That's<00:24:59.859><c> an</c><00:25:00.019><c> amazing</c><00:25:00.559><c> statement,</c><00:25:01.420><c> isn't</c><00:25:01.539><c> it?</c>

00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:06.660
And<00:25:03.480><c> there's</c><00:25:03.660><c> the</c><00:25:03.980><c> curiosity</c><00:25:04.559><c> that's</c><00:25:05.480><c> built</c><00:25:05.740><c> right</c><00:25:06.079><c> into</c><00:25:06.400><c> us,</c>

00:25:06.779 --> 00:25:08.059
brethren<00:25:06.920><c> and</c><00:25:07.140><c> sisters.</c>

00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:09.839
And<00:25:08.759><c> you</c><00:25:08.960><c> settle</c><00:25:09.200><c> into</c><00:25:09.420><c> the</c><00:25:09.680><c> land</c>

00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:12.200
and<00:25:09.980><c> you</c><00:25:10.160><c> begin</c><00:25:10.319><c> to</c><00:25:10.920><c> make</c><00:25:11.180><c> your</c><00:25:11.339><c> way</c><00:25:11.480><c> about</c><00:25:11.720><c> the</c><00:25:11.980><c> land,</c>

00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:16.019
and<00:25:12.420><c> you</c><00:25:12.660><c> see</c><00:25:12.819><c> some</c><00:25:13.039><c> of</c><00:25:13.200><c> the</c><00:25:13.700><c> remnants</c><00:25:14.119><c> of</c><00:25:14.420><c> the</c><00:25:14.960><c> former</c><00:25:15.299><c> lifestyle</c>

00:25:16.019 --> 00:25:17.619
in<00:25:16.240><c> the</c><00:25:16.460><c> land,</c><00:25:17.180><c> and</c><00:25:17.400><c> you</c><00:25:17.519><c> say,</c>

00:25:17.819 --> 00:25:20.000
that's<00:25:17.920><c> an</c><00:25:18.160><c> interesting</c><00:25:18.599><c> thing,</c><00:25:18.900><c> isn't</c><00:25:19.099><c> it?</c>

00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:22.819
These<00:25:20.519><c> people</c><00:25:20.839><c> have</c><00:25:21.059><c> been</c><00:25:21.180><c> here</c><00:25:21.380><c> for</c><00:25:21.660><c> a</c><00:25:21.779><c> long</c><00:25:22.140><c> time,</c>

00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:26.140
well<00:25:23.680><c> established,</c><00:25:25.059><c> and</c><00:25:25.299><c> it's</c><00:25:25.500><c> a</c><00:25:25.640><c> good</c><00:25:25.819><c> land.</c>

00:25:26.140 --> 00:25:28.960
Obviously,<00:25:26.859><c> they're</c><00:25:27.039><c> doing</c><00:25:27.319><c> something</c><00:25:27.759><c> right.</c>

00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:31.759
I<00:25:29.619><c> wonder</c><00:25:29.759><c> how</c><00:25:29.940><c> they</c><00:25:30.140><c> worship</c><00:25:30.460><c> their</c><00:25:30.779><c> gods.</c>

00:25:32.380 --> 00:25:34.779
See,<00:25:32.599><c> there's</c><00:25:32.859><c> that</c><00:25:33.240><c> inherent</c><00:25:33.559><c> curiosity.</c>

00:25:36.059 --> 00:25:39.000
And<00:25:36.259><c> we</c><00:25:36.519><c> almost</c><00:25:36.740><c> look</c><00:25:36.940><c> at</c><00:25:37.119><c> it</c><00:25:37.259><c> as</c><00:25:37.359><c> though</c><00:25:37.500><c> we're</c><00:25:37.819><c> exploring</c><00:25:38.180><c> history</c><00:25:38.779><c> in</c>

00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:39.500
a<00:25:39.119><c> way.</c>

00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:41.539
I<00:25:40.099><c> wonder</c><00:25:40.240><c> how</c><00:25:40.420><c> they</c><00:25:40.660><c> worship</c><00:25:40.940><c> their</c><00:25:41.259><c> gods.</c>

00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:43.799
Maybe<00:25:42.180><c> we</c><00:25:42.359><c> ought</c><00:25:42.460><c> to</c><00:25:42.559><c> do</c><00:25:42.799><c> that.</c>

00:25:43.940 --> 00:25:47.039
I<00:25:44.180><c> mean,</c><00:25:44.180><c> after</c><00:25:44.480><c> all,</c><00:25:44.640><c> they</c><00:25:44.819><c> had</c><00:25:44.940><c> a</c><00:25:45.140><c> long</c><00:25:45.299><c> success</c><00:25:45.779><c> with</c><00:25:46.000><c> it.</c>

00:25:47.660 --> 00:25:50.099
And<00:25:47.799><c> God</c><00:25:47.920><c> says</c><00:25:48.140><c> they</c><00:25:48.500><c> shouldn't</c><00:25:48.720><c> even</c><00:25:48.980><c> be</c><00:25:49.200><c> there.</c>

00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:52.799
You<00:25:50.720><c> shouldn't</c><00:25:50.880><c> even</c><00:25:51.079><c> be</c><00:25:51.220><c> able</c><00:25:51.380><c> to</c><00:25:51.640><c> find</c><00:25:51.859><c> out</c><00:25:52.140><c> anything</c><00:25:52.480><c> about</c>

00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:54.599
their<00:25:53.079><c> gods</c><00:25:53.339><c> at</c><00:25:53.619><c> all.</c>

00:25:55.099 --> 00:25:58.519
But<00:25:55.619><c> he</c><00:25:55.779><c> recognizes</c><00:25:56.400><c> that</c><00:25:57.039><c> they're</c><00:25:57.359><c> going</c><00:25:57.480><c> to</c><00:25:57.680><c> inquire</c>

00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:01.240
and<00:25:58.980><c> say,</c><00:25:59.539><c> how</c><00:25:59.539><c> did</c><00:25:59.759><c> these</c><00:26:00.000><c> nations</c><00:26:00.339><c> serve</c><00:26:00.740><c> their</c><00:26:00.980><c> gods?</c>

00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:03.619
We<00:26:01.720><c> will</c><00:26:01.940><c> do</c><00:26:02.220><c> likewise.</c>

00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:07.339
Thou<00:26:04.140><c> shalt</c><00:26:04.339><c> not</c><00:26:04.720><c> do</c><00:26:05.019><c> so</c><00:26:05.740><c> unto</c><00:26:06.119><c> themselves.</c>

00:26:08.380 --> 00:26:10.420
Surely,<00:26:08.799><c> they</c><00:26:08.980><c> suffer</c><00:26:09.259><c> for</c><00:26:09.519><c> this.</c>

00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.779
But<00:26:11.559><c> thou</c><00:26:11.740><c> shalt</c><00:26:11.940><c> not</c><00:26:12.220><c> do</c><00:26:12.500><c> so</c><00:26:12.720><c> unto</c><00:26:12.900><c> the</c><00:26:13.140><c> Lord</c><00:26:13.400><c> thy</c><00:26:13.720><c> God.</c>

00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.240
For<00:26:15.480><c> every</c><00:26:15.839><c> abomination</c><00:26:16.480><c> to</c><00:26:16.680><c> the</c><00:26:16.859><c> Lord</c><00:26:17.019><c> which</c><00:26:17.240><c> he</c><00:26:17.539><c> hateth,</c>

00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:20.599
have<00:26:18.799><c> they</c><00:26:19.160><c> done</c><00:26:19.440><c> unto</c><00:26:19.759><c> their</c><00:26:20.119><c> gods,</c>

00:26:20.980 --> 00:26:23.319
for<00:26:21.160><c> even</c><00:26:21.380><c> their</c><00:26:21.700><c> sons</c><00:26:21.940><c> and</c><00:26:22.119><c> their</c><00:26:22.339><c> daughters</c><00:26:22.599><c> have</c><00:26:22.759><c> they</c><00:26:23.019><c> burnt</c><00:26:23.180><c> in</c>

00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:23.740
the<00:26:23.559><c> fire</c>

00:26:23.740 --> 00:26:27.299
for<00:26:23.859><c> their</c><00:26:24.160><c> gods,</c><00:26:25.619><c> what</c><00:26:25.880><c> things,</c><00:26:26.160><c> whoever</c><00:26:26.440><c> I</c><00:26:26.740><c> command</c><00:26:27.079><c> you,</c>

00:26:28.539 --> 00:26:33.079
thou<00:26:28.660><c> shalt</c><00:26:28.920><c> not</c><00:26:29.160><c> add</c><00:26:29.519><c> thereto</c><00:26:30.579><c> nor</c><00:26:31.119><c> diminish</c><00:26:31.779><c> from</c><00:26:32.279><c> it.</c>

00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:37.460
And<00:26:34.519><c> maybe</c><00:26:34.680><c> that's</c><00:26:34.980><c> a</c><00:26:35.079><c> pretty</c><00:26:35.279><c> good</c><00:26:35.740><c> definition</c><00:26:36.259><c> of</c><00:26:36.559><c> compromise,</c><00:26:37.319><c> brethren</c>

00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:44.259
When<00:26:39.579><c> we</c><00:26:39.799><c> take</c><00:26:39.980><c> the</c><00:26:40.140><c> word</c><00:26:40.279><c> of</c><00:26:40.579><c> God</c><00:26:41.140><c> and</c><00:26:42.819><c> we</c><00:26:43.119><c> add</c><00:26:43.420><c> thereto</c><00:26:43.920><c> or</c>

Yes,<00:34:48.769><c> they</c><00:34:48.909><c> were</c><00:34:49.230><c> stronger</c><00:34:49.630><c> and</c><00:34:49.809><c> they</c><00:34:49.889><c> were</c><00:34:50.190><c> mightier</c><00:34:50.590><c> and</c><00:34:50.690><c> they</c><00:34:50.829><c> were</c><00:34:51.349><c> the</c><00:34:51.670><c> bone</c><00:34:52.050><c> crunchers,</c><00:34:52.929><c> as</c>

00:34:53.070 --> 00:34:54.610
we<00:34:53.190><c> said</c><00:34:53.429><c> earlier.</c>

00:34:55.670 --> 00:35:02.030
But<00:34:55.829><c> Joshua</c><00:34:56.090><c> and</c><00:34:56.369><c> Caleb</c><00:34:56.630><c> knew</c><00:34:56.909><c> that</c><00:34:57.150><c> their</c><00:34:59.389><c> defenses</c><00:34:59.989><c> departed,</c><00:35:00.730><c> as</c><00:35:00.949><c> he</c><00:35:01.170><c> said.</c>

00:35:02.530 --> 00:35:03.989
They<00:35:02.750><c> were</c><00:35:02.989><c> helpless.</c>

00:35:06.170 --> 00:35:09.530
When<00:35:06.429><c> we</c><00:35:06.590><c> think</c><00:35:06.750><c> of</c><00:35:06.889><c> the</c><00:35:07.030><c> obstacles</c><00:35:07.409><c> that</c><00:35:07.590><c> we</c><00:35:07.710><c> have</c><00:35:07.929><c> to</c><00:35:08.590><c> face</c><00:35:08.869><c> ourselves,</c>

00:35:09.769 --> 00:35:14.309
and<00:35:09.769><c> we</c><00:35:10.250><c> just</c><00:35:11.070><c> kind</c><00:35:11.250><c> of</c><00:35:11.510><c> again</c><00:35:11.690><c> link</c><00:35:12.289><c> our</c><00:35:12.969><c> own</c><00:35:13.590><c> discipleship</c>

with<00:35:14.449><c> what</c><00:35:14.590><c> we're</c><00:35:14.750><c> reading</c><00:35:15.010><c> about</c><00:35:15.269><c> Israel,</c>

00:35:20.710 --> 00:35:26.929
though<00:35:21.690><c> it</c><00:35:23.309><c> is</c><00:35:23.690><c> greater</c><00:35:24.050><c> and</c><00:35:25.010><c> mightier</c><00:35:25.510><c> than</c><00:35:25.750><c> us,</c>

00:35:27.650 --> 00:35:32.130
just<00:35:27.889><c> as</c><00:35:28.150><c> it</c><00:35:28.170><c> was</c><00:35:28.389><c> with</c><00:35:29.010><c> the</c><00:35:29.150><c> perspective</c><00:35:29.650><c> of</c><00:35:30.250><c> Israel</c><00:35:30.730><c> concerning</c><00:35:31.250><c> the</c>

00:35:33.849 --> 00:35:36.909

00:35:37.489 --> 00:35:40.349
I<00:35:38.050><c> just</c><00:35:38.349><c> think</c><00:35:38.449><c> it's</c><00:35:38.610><c> a</c><00:35:38.730><c> wonderful</c><00:35:39.010><c> thing,</c><00:35:39.429><c> brethren</c><00:35:39.610><c> and</c><00:35:39.869><c> sisters,</c><00:35:40.050><c> that</c><00:35:40.210><c> we</c>

00:35:40.349 --> 00:35:42.230
don't<00:35:40.889><c> have</c><00:35:41.309><c> to</c><00:35:41.989><c> fight.</c>

00:35:42.269 --> 00:35:45.090
In<00:35:42.429><c> fact,</c><00:35:42.570><c> we're</c><00:35:42.750><c> not</c><00:35:42.969><c> asked</c><00:35:43.309><c> to</c><00:35:43.590><c> fight</c><00:35:43.929><c> the</c><00:35:44.389><c> good</c><00:35:44.650><c> fight</c><00:35:44.829><c> of</c>

00:35:45.090 --> 00:35:46.409
faith<00:35:45.309><c> alone.</c>

00:35:46.630 --> 00:35:49.670
If<00:35:47.150><c> we</c><00:35:47.449><c> were,</c><00:35:47.690><c> that's</c><00:35:47.929><c> a</c><00:35:48.090><c> formula</c><00:35:48.389><c> for</c><00:35:48.730><c> failure.</c>

00:35:49.849 --> 00:35:51.449
But<00:35:50.030><c> God</c><00:35:50.190><c> doesn't</c><00:35:50.409><c> ask</c><00:35:50.630><c> us</c><00:35:50.829><c> to</c><00:35:50.989><c> do</c><00:35:51.150><c> that.</c>

00:35:51.550 --> 00:35:53.469
Thankfully,<00:35:51.969><c> he</c><00:35:52.110><c> doesn't</c><00:35:52.349><c> ask</c><00:35:52.590><c> us</c><00:35:52.789><c> to</c><00:35:52.949><c> do</c><00:35:53.130><c> that.</c>

00:35:53.929 --> 00:35:56.409
And<00:35:54.110><c> we're</c><00:35:54.369><c> taught</c><00:35:54.530><c> in</c><00:35:54.789><c> scripture</c><00:35:55.050><c> that</c><00:35:55.269><c> we're</c><00:35:55.909><c> laborers</c>

00:35:56.409 --> 00:35:58.369
together<00:35:56.869><c> with</c><00:35:57.269><c> God.</c>

00:35:59.429 --> 00:36:02.090
And<00:35:59.750><c> we've</c><00:36:00.170><c> read</c><00:36:00.329><c> that</c><00:36:00.630><c> we</c><00:36:00.869><c> never</c><00:36:01.130><c> have</c><00:36:01.329><c> to</c><00:36:01.449><c> be</c><00:36:01.690><c> afraid.</c>

00:36:02.349 --> 00:36:05.349
Just<00:36:02.849><c> look</c><00:36:03.030><c> over</c><00:36:03.289><c> in</c><00:36:03.429><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:36:03.969><c> 31,</c><00:36:04.550><c> a</c><00:36:04.710><c> couple</c><00:36:04.889><c> of</c><00:36:05.070><c> pages</c>

00:36:08.429 --> 00:36:11.769
We<00:36:08.690><c> never</c><00:36:08.929><c> have</c><00:36:09.110><c> to</c><00:36:09.250><c> be</c><00:36:09.469><c> afraid</c><00:36:09.670><c> of</c><00:36:09.889><c> our</c><00:36:10.349><c> ability</c><00:36:10.789><c> to</c><00:36:11.070><c> succeed,</c>

00:36:12.250 --> 00:36:13.489

00:36:13.849 --> 00:36:18.610
Oh,<00:36:14.510><c> we</c><00:36:14.510><c> can</c><00:36:15.190><c> kind</c><00:36:15.449><c> of</c><00:36:15.969><c> shake</c><00:36:16.250><c> a</c><00:36:16.469><c> bit</c><00:36:16.590><c> over</c><00:36:16.949><c> the</c><00:36:17.750><c> magnitude</c><00:36:18.369><c> of</c>

00:36:18.610 --> 00:36:20.389
the<00:36:18.809><c> task</c><00:36:19.030><c> before</c><00:36:19.489><c> us.</c>

00:36:20.949 --> 00:36:24.809
But<00:36:21.130><c> we</c><00:36:21.269><c> know</c><00:36:21.469><c> we're</c><00:36:21.650><c> going</c><00:36:21.789><c> to</c><00:36:22.110><c> succeed</c><00:36:22.570><c> in</c><00:36:22.769><c> God's</c><00:36:23.369><c> good</c><00:36:23.630><c> grace.</c>

00:36:28.070 --> 00:36:30.050
Again,<00:36:28.369><c> he</c><00:36:28.469><c> says,</c><00:36:28.809><c> be</c><00:36:28.809><c> strong</c><00:36:29.230><c> and</c><00:36:29.349><c> of</c><00:36:29.469><c> good</c><00:36:29.710><c> courage.</c>

00:36:30.110 --> 00:36:32.710
This<00:36:30.289><c> time</c><00:36:30.489><c> it's</c><00:36:30.650><c> not</c><00:36:30.769><c> to</c><00:36:31.030><c> Joshua</c><00:36:31.349><c> so</c><00:36:31.670><c> much,</c><00:36:31.909><c> although</c><00:36:32.110><c> he'll</c>

00:36:37.530 --> 00:36:39.670
But<00:36:37.769><c> he</c><00:36:37.829><c> says,</c><00:36:38.030><c> be</c><00:36:38.269><c> strong</c><00:36:38.590><c> and</c><00:36:38.710><c> of</c><00:36:38.809><c> a</c><00:36:38.989><c> good</c><00:36:39.150><c> courage.</c>

00:36:42.250 --> 00:36:48.829
And<00:36:42.949><c> think</c><00:36:43.110><c> of</c><00:36:43.230><c> these</c><00:36:43.389><c> as</c><00:36:44.829><c> the</c><00:36:44.989><c> great</c><00:36:45.329><c> and</c><00:36:45.610><c> mighty</c><00:36:46.030><c> difficulties</c><00:36:46.829><c> of</c><00:36:47.090><c> life</c><00:36:47.389><c> that</c><00:36:47.590><c> we</c><00:36:47.869><c> face.</c>

For<00:36:53.130><c> the</c><00:36:53.309><c> Lord</c><00:36:53.590><c> thy</c><00:36:53.869><c> God,</c><00:36:54.969><c> he</c><00:36:55.349><c> it</c><00:36:55.570><c> is</c><00:36:55.849><c> that</c><00:36:56.110><c> doth</c><00:36:56.309><c> go</c><00:36:56.570><c> with</c><00:36:56.829><c> thee.</c>

00:36:58.070 --> 00:37:01.829

00:37:05.150 --> 00:37:11.409
Thankfully,<00:37:05.789><c> brethren</c><00:37:05.949><c> and</c><00:37:06.150><c> sisters,</c><00:37:07.570><c> we</c><00:37:09.550><c> take</c><00:37:09.809><c> hold</c><00:37:10.070><c> of</c><00:37:10.349><c> this.</c>

For<00:37:13.409><c> comfort,</c><00:37:16.329><c> for</c><00:37:16.449><c> strength,</c><00:37:18.030><c> for</c><00:37:18.250><c> courage.</c>

00:37:21.409 --> 00:37:26.630
In<00:37:21.530><c> our</c><00:37:21.730><c> battle</c><00:37:22.010><c> with</c><00:37:22.369><c> the</c><00:37:23.489><c> giants</c><00:37:23.869><c> of</c><00:37:24.090><c> the</c><00:37:24.289><c> land</c><00:37:24.550><c> and</c><00:37:24.809><c> the</c><00:37:25.210><c> walled</c><00:37:25.690><c> cities</c><00:37:25.929><c> and</c>

00:42:38.269 --> 00:42:39.789
land<00:42:38.449><c> of</c><00:42:38.789><c> Canaan.</c>

00:42:40.349 --> 00:42:43.389
And<00:42:40.530><c> it's</c><00:42:41.130><c> nice</c><00:42:41.429><c> and</c><00:42:41.809><c> tidy,</c><00:42:42.230><c> brethren</c><00:42:42.369><c> and</c><00:42:42.570><c> sisters.</c>

00:42:43.750 --> 00:42:47.590
It's<00:42:44.389><c> occupied</c><00:42:45.030><c> now</c><00:42:45.570><c> and</c><00:42:46.690><c> conquered.</c>

00:42:48.130 --> 00:42:51.090
And<00:42:48.309><c> again,</c><00:42:48.489><c> I</c><00:42:48.570><c> say</c><00:42:48.750><c> a</c><00:42:49.170><c> butt</c><00:42:49.710><c> has</c><00:42:50.130><c> got</c><00:42:50.230><c> to</c><00:42:50.349><c> be</c><00:42:50.510><c> worked</c><00:42:50.690><c> into</c><00:42:50.889><c> the</c>

00:42:51.809 --> 00:42:53.250
And<00:42:52.429><c> here's</c><00:42:52.769><c> the</c><00:42:53.050><c> tribes.</c>

00:42:53.670 --> 00:42:54.969
Remember<00:42:54.030><c> I</c><00:42:54.269><c> mentioned</c><00:42:54.610><c> Reuben.</c>

00:42:55.130 --> 00:42:56.710
This<00:42:55.329><c> is</c><00:42:55.510><c> the</c><00:42:55.610><c> River</c><00:42:55.829><c> Arnon</c><00:42:56.250><c> here.</c>

00:42:56.929 --> 00:43:01.469
Reuben,<00:42:57.610><c> Gad,</c><00:42:57.889><c> Manasseh</c><00:42:58.550><c> and</c><00:42:58.849><c> spilling</c><00:42:59.090><c> over</c><00:42:59.429><c> to</c><00:43:00.309><c> the</c><00:43:00.449><c> west</c><00:43:00.690><c> side.</c>

00:43:02.710 --> 00:43:04.750
Nice<00:43:03.030><c> boundaries,</c><00:43:04.130><c> clear</c><00:43:04.389><c> cut.</c>

00:43:05.130 --> 00:43:08.690
You<00:43:05.250><c> can</c><00:43:05.530><c> see</c><00:43:05.849><c> the</c><00:43:06.309><c> shapes</c><00:43:06.550><c> of</c><00:43:06.809><c> all</c><00:43:07.010><c> these</c><00:43:07.210><c> tribal</c><00:43:07.630><c> inheritances.</c>

00:43:09.050 --> 00:43:11.769
It's<00:43:09.190><c> nice</c><00:43:09.590><c> and</c><00:43:09.969><c> tidy</c><00:43:10.170><c> and</c><00:43:10.309><c> it's</c><00:43:10.510><c> all</c><00:43:10.789><c> finished.</c>

00:43:11.929 --> 00:43:13.610
So<00:43:11.949><c> you</c><00:43:11.969><c> have</c><00:43:12.170><c> Simeon,</c><00:43:12.690><c> Judah,</c><00:43:13.210><c> Dan.</c>

00:43:13.949 --> 00:43:15.309
And<00:43:14.130><c> Dan</c><00:43:14.250><c> doesn't</c><00:43:14.469><c> even</c><00:43:14.750><c> remain</c><00:43:15.090><c> here.</c>

00:43:15.329 --> 00:43:18.510
They<00:43:15.429><c> don't</c><00:43:15.590><c> even</c><00:43:15.909><c> conquer</c><00:43:16.190><c> this</c><00:43:16.489><c> area</c><00:43:16.969><c> ultimately</c><00:43:17.929><c> and</c><00:43:18.250><c> own</c><00:43:18.389><c> it.</c>

00:43:18.510 --> 00:43:19.449
It's<00:43:18.710><c> just</c><00:43:18.869><c> too</c><00:43:19.150><c> tough.</c>

00:43:19.449 --> 00:43:23.090
So<00:43:19.889><c> they</c><00:43:20.090><c> end</c><00:43:20.309><c> up</c><00:43:20.510><c> moving</c><00:43:20.789><c> way</c><00:43:21.150><c> up</c><00:43:21.369><c> to</c><00:43:21.510><c> the</c><00:43:21.690><c> north</c><00:43:22.010><c> and</c><00:43:22.690><c> that</c>

00:43:23.090 --> 00:43:25.510
becomes<00:43:23.469><c> their</c><00:43:23.989><c> tribal</c><00:43:24.809><c> area.</c>

00:43:25.550 --> 00:43:29.590
And<00:43:25.690><c> we</c><00:43:25.789><c> read</c><00:43:25.929><c> this</c><00:43:26.130><c> in</c><00:43:26.230><c> the</c><00:43:26.449><c> epilogue,</c><00:43:27.329><c> those</c><00:43:27.650><c> final</c><00:43:28.150><c> chapters</c><00:43:29.110><c> of</c><00:43:29.489><c> the</c>

00:43:29.590 --> 00:43:30.670
book<00:43:29.809><c> of</c><00:43:30.469><c> Judah,</c>

00:43:30.710 --> 00:43:33.090
which<00:43:30.889><c> I</c><00:43:31.130><c> say</c><00:43:31.230><c> should</c><00:43:31.449><c> really</c><00:43:31.750><c> be</c><00:43:31.909><c> at</c><00:43:32.030><c> the</c><00:43:32.190><c> beginning</c><00:43:32.429><c> of</c><00:43:32.630><c> the</c><00:43:32.789><c> book</c>

00:43:33.090 --> 00:43:35.510
because<00:43:33.570><c> they</c><00:43:33.829><c> set</c><00:43:33.929><c> the</c><00:43:34.190><c> stage</c><00:43:34.369><c> for</c><00:43:34.530><c> many</c><00:43:34.730><c> of</c><00:43:34.869><c> the</c><00:43:35.030><c> things</c><00:43:35.190><c> that</c><00:43:35.329><c> you</c>

00:43:35.510 --> 00:43:36.989
see<00:43:35.650><c> later</c><00:43:35.969><c> on.</c>

00:43:37.590 --> 00:43:42.670
But<00:43:38.030><c> it</c><00:43:38.469><c> looks</c><00:43:39.130><c> quite</c><00:43:39.809><c> complete</c><00:43:40.670><c> and</c><00:43:41.630><c> finished.</c>

00:43:44.510 --> 00:43:46.989
I<00:43:44.630><c> think</c><00:43:44.809><c> what</c><00:43:44.969><c> we</c><00:43:45.250><c> need,</c><00:43:45.949><c> brethren</c><00:43:46.090><c> and</c><00:43:46.309><c> sisters,</c><00:43:46.670><c> and</c><00:43:46.750><c> if</c><00:43:46.829><c> we</c>

00:43:46.989 --> 00:43:47.690
turn<00:43:47.130><c> to</c><00:43:47.349><c> Joshua,</c>

00:43:47.690 --> 00:43:49.869
we're<00:43:48.130><c> at</c><00:43:48.349><c> Joshua</c><00:43:48.730><c> 13</c><00:43:49.289><c> actually.</c>

00:43:50.010 --> 00:43:54.190
We<00:43:50.250><c> need</c><00:43:50.429><c> some</c><00:43:50.750><c> sort</c><00:43:51.030><c> of</c><00:43:52.130><c> reality</c><00:43:52.670><c> check</c><00:43:52.989><c> here</c>

00:43:54.329 --> 00:43:57.550
because<00:43:54.750><c> the</c><00:43:54.969><c> job</c><00:43:55.309><c> of</c><00:43:55.750><c> conquest</c><00:43:56.210><c> is</c><00:43:56.469><c> not</c><00:43:56.750><c> done.</c>

00:43:58.510 --> 00:43:59.550
Verse<00:43:58.750><c> 1.</c>

00:44:03.130 --> 00:44:06.650
Now<00:44:03.190><c> Joshua</c><00:44:03.630><c> was</c><00:44:03.969><c> old</c><00:44:04.590><c> and</c><00:44:05.090><c> stricken</c><00:44:05.389><c> in</c><00:44:05.670><c> years.</c>

00:44:06.889 --> 00:44:07.989
And<00:44:06.989><c> the</c><00:44:07.130><c> Lord</c><00:44:07.309><c> said</c><00:44:07.510><c> unto</c><00:44:07.730><c> him,</c>

00:44:08.010 --> 00:44:11.849
Thou<00:44:08.210><c> art</c><00:44:08.449><c> old</c><00:44:08.829><c> and</c><00:44:09.130><c> stricken</c><00:44:09.389><c> in</c><00:44:09.670><c> years</c><00:44:09.889><c> and</c><00:44:10.050><c> there</c><00:44:10.369><c> remaineth</c><00:44:10.769><c> yet</c><00:44:11.110><c> very</c>

00:44:11.849 --> 00:44:13.349
much<00:44:12.150><c> land</c><00:44:12.429><c> to</c><00:44:12.630><c> be</c><00:44:12.829><c> possessed.</c>

00:44:13.789 --> 00:44:15.750
So<00:44:14.050><c> they</c><00:44:14.269><c> conquered</c><00:44:14.610><c> the</c><00:44:14.909><c> land.</c>

00:44:15.789 --> 00:44:16.789
The<00:44:16.030><c> land</c><00:44:16.190><c> is</c><00:44:16.449><c> divided.</c>

00:44:16.789 --> 00:44:18.050
They've<00:44:17.230><c> settled</c><00:44:17.409><c> in</c><00:44:17.630><c> it.</c>

00:44:18.050 --> 00:44:20.210
And<00:44:18.230><c> yet</c><00:44:18.329><c> the</c><00:44:18.530><c> job</c><00:44:18.769><c> is</c><00:44:19.010><c> not</c><00:44:19.289><c> done.</c>

00:44:20.510 --> 00:44:25.010
There<00:44:20.710><c> remaineth</c><00:44:21.170><c> very</c><00:44:21.989><c> much</c><00:44:22.489><c> land</c><00:44:23.250><c> yet</c><00:44:23.989><c> to</c><00:44:24.210><c> be</c><00:44:24.409><c> possessed.</c>

00:44:25.269 --> 00:44:28.429
And<00:44:25.610><c> that's</c><00:44:25.909><c> the</c><00:44:26.130><c> task</c><00:44:26.389><c> before</c><00:44:26.750><c> God's</c><00:44:27.170><c> people</c><00:44:27.369><c> Israel.</c>

00:44:28.570 --> 00:44:33.369
They've<00:44:28.929><c> really</c><00:44:29.210><c> got</c><00:44:29.409><c> to</c><00:44:29.650><c> do</c><00:44:29.929><c> exactly</c><00:44:30.590><c> what</c><00:44:31.090><c> God</c><00:44:31.530><c> intended</c><00:44:32.130><c> of</c><00:44:32.429><c> them.</c>

00:44:33.829 --> 00:44:35.750
God<00:44:34.050><c> has</c><00:44:34.309><c> done</c><00:44:34.429><c> his</c><00:44:34.789><c> part.</c>

00:44:36.130 --> 00:44:38.710
He's<00:44:36.469><c> brought</c><00:44:36.590><c> them</c><00:44:36.789><c> in,</c><00:44:37.170><c> brethren</c><00:44:37.329><c> and</c><00:44:37.489><c> sisters.</c>

00:44:45.070 --> 00:44:47.210
God<00:44:45.670><c> has</c><00:44:45.909><c> done</c><00:44:46.050><c> his</c><00:44:46.409><c> part.</c>
