00:29:03.019 --> 00:29:04.640
I<00:29:03.140><c> don't</c><00:29:03.220><c> know</c><00:29:03.299><c> how</c><00:29:03.380><c> you</c><00:29:03.599><c> visualised</c><00:29:04.000><c> that</c><00:29:04.160><c> as</c><00:29:04.299><c> a</c><00:29:04.500><c> child,</c>

00:29:04.660 --> 00:29:06.559
but<00:29:04.779><c> I</c><00:29:04.960><c> grew</c><00:29:05.019><c> up</c><00:29:05.099><c> as</c><00:29:05.240><c> a</c><00:29:05.380><c> child</c><00:29:05.500><c> with</c><00:29:05.660><c> this</c><00:29:05.740><c> idea</c><00:29:05.859><c> of</c><00:29:05.980><c> this</c><00:29:06.140><c> big</c><00:29:06.319><c> hand</c>

00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:15.200
The<00:29:13.140><c> Yahweh</c><00:29:13.519><c> angel</c><00:29:13.779><c> was</c><00:29:14.000><c> there.</c>

00:29:15.619 --> 00:29:17.380
He'd<00:29:15.900><c> performed</c><00:29:16.220><c> an</c><00:29:16.420><c> operation</c><00:29:16.859><c> upon</c><00:29:17.160><c> Adam</c>

00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:24.680

00:29:30.619 --> 00:29:32.200
And<00:29:30.740><c> I</c><00:29:30.839><c> used</c><00:29:30.920><c> to</c><00:29:31.039><c> wonder</c><00:29:31.160><c> for</c><00:29:31.380><c> many</c><00:29:31.539><c> years,</c><00:29:31.759><c> how</c><00:29:31.920><c> could</c><00:29:32.099><c> a</c>

00:29:36.980 --> 00:29:38.460
But<00:29:37.099><c> you</c><00:29:37.160><c> see,</c><00:29:37.259><c> when</c><00:29:37.319><c> you</c><00:29:37.500><c> understand</c><00:29:37.900><c> that</c><00:29:38.059><c> it</c><00:29:38.140><c> was</c><00:29:38.279><c> the</c>

Yahweh<00:29:38.839><c> angel</c>

00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:42.140

00:29:42.339 --> 00:29:45.799
it<00:29:42.599><c> makes</c><00:29:42.880><c> sense</c><00:29:43.640><c> if</c><00:29:44.339><c> we</c><00:29:44.519><c> understand</c><00:29:44.880><c> the</c><00:29:45.059><c> principle</c><00:29:45.400><c> of</c><00:29:45.579><c> God</c>

00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:49.339
So<00:29:47.119><c> think</c><00:29:47.220><c> of</c><00:29:47.319><c> all</c><00:29:47.460><c> the</c><00:29:47.640><c> interesting</c><00:29:48.000><c> things</c><00:29:48.279><c> they</c><00:29:48.559><c> did.</c>

00:29:49.700 --> 00:29:51.559
Our<00:29:49.799><c> brother</c><00:29:49.980><c> spoke</c><00:29:50.259><c> about</c><00:29:50.500><c> the</c><00:29:50.799><c> cart</c><00:29:50.960><c> that</c><00:29:51.119><c> went</c><00:29:51.240><c> from</c><00:29:51.440><c> the</c>

00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:38.400
They<00:31:35.079><c> performed</c><00:31:35.539><c> the</c><00:31:35.720><c> will</c><00:31:35.799><c> of</c><00:31:35.960><c> God</c><00:31:36.440><c> upon</c><00:31:37.180><c> the</c><00:31:37.400><c> earth.</c>

00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:44.880
But<00:31:41.880><c> let's</c><00:31:42.059><c> look</c><00:31:42.220><c> more</c><00:31:42.519><c> closely</c><00:31:42.859><c> at</c><00:31:43.039><c> how</c><00:31:43.200><c> they</c><00:31:43.460><c> relate</c><00:31:43.720><c> to</c><00:31:43.880><c> God.</c>

00:31:45.859 --> 00:31:47.900
Psalm<00:31:46.019><c> 89,</c><00:31:46.519><c> I'd</c><00:31:46.680><c> like</c><00:31:46.740><c> you</c><00:31:46.880><c> to</c><00:31:47.019><c> come</c><00:31:47.140><c> to</c><00:31:47.319><c> Psalm</c><00:31:47.579><c> 89.</c>

00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:50.720
We<00:31:48.099><c> have</c><00:31:48.339><c> here</c><00:31:48.519><c> a</c><00:31:48.740><c> glimpse</c><00:31:49.000><c> of</c><00:31:49.240><c> heaven</c><00:31:49.559><c> itself.</c>

00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:53.319
Just<00:31:51.339><c> for</c><00:31:51.559><c> a</c><00:31:51.700><c> moment,</c><00:31:52.019><c> God</c><00:31:52.240><c> draws</c><00:31:52.539><c> back</c><00:31:52.819><c> the</c><00:31:53.000><c> curtain</c><00:31:53.160><c> and</c><00:31:53.240><c> says,</c>

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:55.960
look<00:31:53.519><c> at</c><00:31:53.680><c> how</c><00:31:53.799><c> I</c><00:31:54.000><c> operate</c><00:31:54.339><c> amongst</c><00:31:54.660><c> my</c><00:31:55.039><c> angels.</c>

00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:58.119
Psalm<00:31:56.720><c> 89</c><00:31:57.140><c> and</c><00:31:57.380><c> verse</c><00:31:57.559><c> 5</c><00:31:57.839><c> to</c><00:31:57.960><c> 7.</c>

00:31:58.140 --> 00:31:59.880
Now<00:31:58.259><c> I've</c><00:31:58.380><c> got</c><00:31:58.519><c> Rotherhem's</c><00:31:59.059><c> translation</c><00:31:59.500><c> up</c><00:31:59.640><c> here,</c><00:31:59.759><c> which</c>

00:31:59.880 --> 00:32:01.359
is<00:32:00.079><c> much</c><00:32:00.359><c> clearer.</c>

00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:05.059
So<00:32:03.299><c> we'll</c><00:32:03.480><c> read</c><00:32:03.640><c> from</c><00:32:03.839><c> Rotherhem.</c>

00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:07.519
Psalm<00:32:06.019><c> 89,</c><00:32:06.920><c> verse</c><00:32:07.160><c> 5.</c>

00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:11.539
So<00:32:07.700><c> shall</c><00:32:07.960><c> the</c><00:32:08.140><c> heavens</c><00:32:08.380><c> praise</c><00:32:08.839><c> thy</c><00:32:09.119><c> wondrousness,</c><00:32:10.039><c> O</c><00:32:10.059><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:32:11.660 --> 00:32:14.900
Yea<00:32:11.819><c> thy</c><00:32:12.220><c> faithfulness</c><00:32:12.940><c> in</c><00:32:13.200><c> the</c><00:32:13.500><c> convocation</c><00:32:14.099><c> of</c><00:32:14.440><c> holy</c><00:32:14.680><c> ones.</c>

00:32:14.900 --> 00:32:16.740
Now<00:32:15.059><c> that's</c><00:32:15.319><c> a</c><00:32:15.480><c> description</c><00:32:15.799><c> of</c><00:32:16.000><c> heaven.</c>

00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:19.579
If<00:32:17.559><c> you</c><00:32:17.700><c> want</c><00:32:17.799><c> to</c><00:32:17.900><c> put</c><00:32:18.019><c> a</c><00:32:18.240><c> title</c><00:32:18.440><c> upon</c><00:32:18.759><c> heaven,</c><00:32:19.079><c> that's</c><00:32:19.400><c> what</c>

00:32:19.579 --> 00:32:20.299
God<00:32:19.839><c> calls</c><00:32:20.160><c> it.</c>

00:32:20.299 --> 00:32:21.940
The<00:32:20.559><c> convocation</c><00:32:21.220><c> of</c><00:32:21.500><c> holy</c><00:32:21.720><c> ones.</c>

00:32:21.940 --> 00:32:24.940
And<00:32:22.099><c> the</c><00:32:22.160><c> word</c><00:32:22.420><c> convocation</c><00:32:23.039><c> is</c><00:32:23.240><c> the</c><00:32:23.319><c> word</c><00:32:23.559><c> Kadesh,</c><00:32:24.640><c> which</c><00:32:24.740><c> is</c>

00:32:24.940 --> 00:32:26.119
the<00:32:25.140><c> sanctuary.</c>

00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:29.119
Kadesh<00:32:27.039><c> Barney</c><00:32:27.380><c> was</c><00:32:27.579><c> the</c><00:32:27.839><c> sanctuary</c><00:32:28.140><c> of</c><00:32:28.299><c> the</c><00:32:28.440><c> wandering</c><00:32:28.759><c> sun.</c>

00:32:29.140 --> 00:32:31.960
So<00:32:29.299><c> it's</c><00:32:29.480><c> the</c><00:32:29.740><c> sanctuary</c><00:32:30.299><c> of</c><00:32:31.319><c> the</c><00:32:31.559><c> holy</c><00:32:31.779><c> ones.</c>

00:32:31.980 --> 00:32:33.319
So<00:32:32.140><c> that's</c><00:32:32.259><c> how</c><00:32:32.460><c> God</c><00:32:32.740><c> sees</c><00:32:33.059><c> heaven.</c>

00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:35.640
That's<00:32:33.960><c> God's</c><00:32:34.599><c> title</c><00:32:34.720><c> on</c><00:32:34.880><c> his</c><00:32:35.039><c> own</c><00:32:35.259><c> house.</c>

00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:38.059
The<00:32:36.299><c> sanctuary</c><00:32:36.680><c> of</c><00:32:36.859><c> the</c><00:32:37.019><c> holy</c><00:32:37.200><c> ones.</c>

00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:41.519
So<00:32:39.180><c> you</c><00:32:39.279><c> have</c><00:32:39.380><c> a</c><00:32:39.579><c> very</c><00:32:39.900><c> close</c><00:32:40.200><c> family</c><00:32:40.640><c> relationship</c><00:32:41.259><c> being</c>

00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:42.960
described<00:32:42.019><c> there.</c>

00:32:43.220 --> 00:32:45.240
But<00:32:43.640><c> it's</c><00:32:43.839><c> an</c><00:32:44.079><c> interesting</c><00:32:44.519><c> relationship.</c>

00:32:45.619 --> 00:32:47.359
For<00:32:45.720><c> who</c><00:32:45.880><c> in</c><00:32:46.019><c> the</c><00:32:46.220><c> skies</c><00:32:46.460><c> compare</c><00:32:46.819><c> unto</c><00:32:47.019><c> Yahweh,</c>

00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:51.259
who<00:32:47.640><c> can</c><00:32:48.299><c> liken</c><00:32:48.559><c> unto</c><00:32:48.779><c> Yahweh</c><00:32:49.180><c> among</c><00:32:49.519><c> the</c><00:32:49.839><c> sons</c><00:32:50.039><c> of</c><00:32:50.220><c> the</c><00:32:50.339><c> mighty?</c>

00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:56.099
And<00:32:52.319><c> here's</c><00:32:52.500><c> how</c><00:32:52.740><c> God</c><00:32:52.980><c> is</c><00:32:53.720><c> in</c><00:32:54.279><c> the</c><00:32:54.500><c> presence</c><00:32:54.720><c> of</c><00:32:54.900><c> his</c><00:32:55.059><c> angels.</c>

00:32:56.220 --> 00:33:02.940
A<00:32:56.519><c> God</c><00:32:57.119><c> inspiring</c><00:32:58.279><c> all</c><00:32:58.839><c> in</c><00:33:00.220><c> the</c><00:33:00.519><c> circle</c><00:33:00.720><c> of</c><00:33:00.900><c> the</c><00:33:01.039><c> holy</c><00:33:01.240><c> ones</c><00:33:01.539><c> exceedingly,</c>

00:33:03.460 --> 00:33:06.759
and<00:33:03.599><c> to</c><00:33:03.740><c> be</c><00:33:03.980><c> reverenced</c><00:33:04.279><c> above</c><00:33:04.559><c> all</c><00:33:04.880><c> who</c><00:33:05.099><c> are</c><00:33:05.279><c> round</c><00:33:05.539><c> about</c><00:33:05.839><c> him.</c>

00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:11.299
And<00:33:07.500><c> they</c><00:33:07.799><c> stand</c><00:33:08.059><c> around</c><00:33:08.400><c> the</c><00:33:08.700><c> Father,</c><00:33:09.559><c> awaiting</c><00:33:09.799><c> his</c><00:33:10.180><c> directions,</c>

00:33:12.380 --> 00:33:15.279
absolutely<00:33:12.759><c> delighted</c><00:33:13.279><c> in</c><00:33:13.480><c> his</c><00:33:13.720><c> eternal</c><00:33:14.180><c> infinite</c><00:33:14.579><c> wisdom,</c>

00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:19.079
as<00:33:16.039><c> he</c><00:33:16.299><c> gradually</c><00:33:16.680><c> unfolds</c><00:33:17.380><c> his</c><00:33:17.579><c> plan</c><00:33:17.799><c> before</c><00:33:18.180><c> them.</c>

00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:22.579
But<00:33:19.900><c> notice</c><00:33:20.119><c> the</c><00:33:20.319><c> word</c><00:33:20.480><c> there,</c><00:33:20.900><c> the</c><00:33:21.180><c> circle</c><00:33:21.660><c> of</c><00:33:21.980><c> the</c><00:33:22.160><c> holy</c><00:33:22.380><c> ones.</c>

00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:24.779
That's<00:33:22.900><c> a</c><00:33:23.019><c> very</c><00:33:23.240><c> unique</c><00:33:23.539><c> Hebrew</c><00:33:23.819><c> word.</c>

00:33:24.900 --> 00:33:28.539
It<00:33:25.059><c> means</c><00:33:25.299><c> a</c><00:33:25.579><c> gathering</c><00:33:25.859><c> in</c><00:33:26.339><c> secret</c><00:33:26.700><c> to</c><00:33:27.099><c> share</c><00:33:27.400><c> secrets.</c>

00:33:29.259 --> 00:33:33.119
So<00:33:29.400><c> there's</c><00:33:29.720><c> a</c><00:33:29.940><c> sharing</c><00:33:30.180><c> of</c><00:33:30.519><c> knowledge</c><00:33:30.759><c> that's</c><00:33:31.079><c> going</c><00:33:31.299><c> on</c><00:33:32.019><c> between</c><00:33:32.640><c> God</c>

00:33:33.119 --> 00:33:34.759
and<00:33:33.460><c> his</c><00:33:33.799><c> angels.</c>

00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:37.240
Now<00:33:35.339><c> let</c><00:33:35.440><c> me</c><00:33:35.519><c> just</c><00:33:35.740><c> show</c><00:33:35.839><c> you</c><00:33:35.940><c> an</c><00:33:36.099><c> example</c><00:33:36.380><c> of</c><00:33:36.500><c> this</c><00:33:36.660><c> in</c><00:33:36.839><c> operation.</c>

00:33:37.339 --> 00:33:39.740
Come<00:33:37.500><c> to</c><00:33:37.640><c> the</c><00:33:37.779><c> 1</c><00:33:37.980><c> Kings</c><00:33:38.380><c> 22.</c>

00:33:40.619 --> 00:33:42.819
This<00:33:40.799><c> is</c><00:33:41.000><c> the</c><00:33:41.119><c> vision</c><00:33:41.299><c> of</c><00:33:41.579><c> Micaiah</c><00:33:42.119><c> the</c><00:33:42.380><c> prophet.</c>

00:33:43.299 --> 00:33:45.819
Remember<00:33:43.779><c> he</c><00:33:43.900><c> was</c><00:33:44.099><c> the</c><00:33:44.200><c> man</c><00:33:44.400><c> that</c><00:33:44.559><c> was</c><00:33:44.779><c> dragged</c><00:33:45.019><c> out</c><00:33:45.240><c> by</c><00:33:45.559><c> Ahab</c>

00:33:45.819 --> 00:33:48.019
when<00:33:46.039><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:33:46.619><c> insisted</c><00:33:47.079><c> on</c><00:33:47.279><c> having</c><00:33:47.460><c> a</c><00:33:47.700><c> prophet</c><00:33:47.819><c> of</c>

00:33:48.019 --> 00:33:49.519
Yahweh's<00:33:48.440><c> opinion.</c>

00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:52.839
So<00:33:49.740><c> they</c><00:33:49.940><c> brought</c><00:33:50.099><c> out</c><00:33:50.299><c> from</c><00:33:50.440><c> the</c><00:33:50.619><c> dungeon</c><00:33:50.880><c> Micaiah</c><00:33:51.440><c> the</c><00:33:51.660><c> prophet.</c>

00:33:54.259 --> 00:33:55.720
Ahab<00:33:54.720><c> hated</c><00:33:55.059><c> him.</c>

00:33:56.059 --> 00:33:58.500
He<00:33:56.200><c> never</c><00:33:56.480><c> spoke</c><00:33:56.720><c> good</c><00:33:56.940><c> concerning</c><00:33:57.319><c> Ahab.</c>

00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.279
And<00:33:59.460><c> eventually</c><00:33:59.720><c> he</c><00:33:59.859><c> was</c><00:34:00.140><c> provoked</c><00:34:00.440><c> by</c><00:34:00.779><c> Ahab.</c>

00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:05.539
He<00:34:01.640><c> was</c><00:34:01.859><c> put</c><00:34:02.019><c> under</c><00:34:02.140><c> adoration</c><00:34:02.880><c> by</c><00:34:03.140><c> the</c><00:34:03.339><c> king</c><00:34:03.599><c> to</c><00:34:04.079><c> speak</c><00:34:04.339><c> the</c><00:34:04.619><c> truth.</c>

00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:09.800
And<00:34:06.140><c> in</c><00:34:06.220><c> the</c><00:34:06.319><c> 1</c><00:34:06.519><c> Kings</c><00:34:06.900><c> 22</c><00:34:07.460><c> and</c><00:34:07.640><c> verse</c><00:34:07.839><c> 19</c><00:34:08.199><c> he</c><00:34:08.380><c> said</c><00:34:08.579><c> this,</c>

00:34:09.820 --> 00:34:11.519
Hear<00:34:10.260><c> therefore</c><00:34:10.639><c> the</c><00:34:10.739><c> word</c><00:34:10.920><c> of</c><00:34:11.139><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:34:11.699 --> 00:34:14.480
I<00:34:11.739><c> saw</c><00:34:12.019><c> Yahweh</c><00:34:12.559><c> sitting</c><00:34:12.840><c> upon</c><00:34:13.179><c> his</c><00:34:13.539><c> throne,</c>

00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:17.559
and<00:34:15.159><c> all</c><00:34:15.400><c> the</c><00:34:15.579><c> hosts</c><00:34:15.780><c> of</c><00:34:15.980><c> heaven</c><00:34:16.239><c> standing</c><00:34:16.760><c> by</c><00:34:17.079><c> him</c><00:34:17.179><c> on</c><00:34:17.340><c> the</c>

00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:18.420
right<00:34:17.800><c> hand</c><00:34:17.960><c> and</c><00:34:18.059><c> the</c><00:34:18.219><c> left.</c>

00:34:18.460 --> 00:34:20.019
See<00:34:18.579><c> there's</c><00:34:19.000><c> a</c><00:34:19.500><c> standing</c><00:34:19.860><c> by.</c>

00:34:20.059 --> 00:34:21.400
You<00:34:20.139><c> want</c><00:34:20.239><c> to</c><00:34:20.380><c> start</c><00:34:20.559><c> colouring</c><00:34:20.920><c> these</c><00:34:21.079><c> in.</c>

00:34:21.699 --> 00:34:24.000
You'll<00:34:21.900><c> wear</c><00:34:21.980><c> your</c><00:34:22.199><c> pencil</c><00:34:22.400><c> out,</c><00:34:22.559><c> I</c><00:34:22.639><c> can</c><00:34:22.800><c> assure</c><00:34:23.099><c> you.</c>

00:34:24.099 --> 00:34:26.280
Standing<00:34:24.480><c> by</c><00:34:24.820><c> him</c><00:34:24.940><c> on</c><00:34:25.099><c> the</c><00:34:25.360><c> right</c><00:34:25.579><c> hand</c><00:34:25.760><c> and</c><00:34:25.900><c> the</c><00:34:26.039><c> left.</c>

00:34:26.780 --> 00:34:29.300
And<00:34:26.920><c> angels</c><00:34:27.099><c> will</c><00:34:27.300><c> always</c><00:34:27.559><c> stand</c><00:34:27.800><c> in</c><00:34:27.960><c> the</c><00:34:28.099><c> presence</c><00:34:28.320><c> of</c><00:34:28.559><c> God.</c>

00:34:29.460 --> 00:34:31.519
So<00:34:29.659><c> we're</c><00:34:29.780><c> getting</c><00:34:29.940><c> an</c><00:34:30.119><c> insight</c><00:34:30.460><c> into</c><00:34:30.659><c> heaven</c><00:34:31.019><c> through</c><00:34:31.239><c> the</c>

00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:32.940
eyes<00:34:31.719><c> of</c><00:34:31.960><c> Micaiah.</c>

00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:35.599
And<00:34:33.920><c> verse</c><00:34:34.159><c> 20,</c><00:34:34.659><c> Yahweh</c><00:34:35.119><c> says,</c>

00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:39.659
Who<00:34:36.199><c> shall</c><00:34:36.659><c> persuade</c><00:34:37.900><c> Ahab</c><00:34:38.460><c> that</c><00:34:38.619><c> he</c><00:34:38.739><c> may</c><00:34:38.940><c> go</c><00:34:39.139><c> up</c><00:34:39.320><c> to</c><00:34:39.500><c> battle</c>

00:34:39.659 --> 00:34:40.960
at<00:34:39.860><c> Ramoth</c><00:34:40.239><c> Gilead</c>

00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:44.340
where<00:34:41.480><c> he</c><00:34:41.639><c> was</c><00:34:42.219><c> due</c><00:34:42.480><c> to</c><00:34:42.780><c> fall</c><00:34:42.960><c> in</c><00:34:43.199><c> battle?</c>

00:34:44.460 --> 00:34:47.119
Now<00:34:44.619><c> bear</c><00:34:44.780><c> in</c><00:34:44.980><c> mind</c><00:34:45.159><c> God</c><00:34:45.420><c> wants</c><00:34:45.780><c> Ahab</c><00:34:46.179><c> to</c><00:34:46.340><c> go</c><00:34:46.480><c> Ramoth</c><00:34:46.860><c> Gilead,</c>

00:34:47.179 --> 00:34:53.460
but<00:34:47.239><c> he's</c><00:34:47.539><c> got</c><00:34:47.659><c> to</c><00:34:47.800><c> get</c><00:34:47.900><c> him</c><00:34:48.159><c> there</c><00:34:49.679><c> by</c><00:34:51.280><c> Ahab's</c><00:34:52.340><c> free</c><00:34:52.579><c> will.</c>

00:34:54.019 --> 00:34:56.119
See<00:34:54.119><c> God</c><00:34:54.320><c> just</c><00:34:54.639><c> didn't</c><00:34:54.840><c> grab</c><00:34:55.099><c> hold</c><00:34:55.219><c> of</c><00:34:55.380><c> Ahab</c><00:34:55.579><c> by</c><00:34:55.780><c> the</c><00:34:55.980><c> scruff</c>

00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:57.400
of<00:34:56.280><c> the</c><00:34:56.360><c> neck</c><00:34:56.480><c> and</c><00:34:56.639><c> dump</c><00:34:56.820><c> him</c><00:34:56.980><c> in</c><00:34:57.179><c> battle.</c>

00:34:57.820 --> 00:34:59.900
Ahab's<00:34:58.219><c> got</c><00:34:58.340><c> to</c><00:34:58.480><c> go</c><00:34:58.619><c> by</c><00:34:58.800><c> his</c><00:34:59.059><c> own</c><00:34:59.340><c> free</c><00:34:59.619><c> will.</c>

00:35:00.300 --> 00:35:03.539
So<00:35:00.460><c> God</c><00:35:00.639><c> says</c><00:35:00.840><c> to</c><00:35:01.000><c> the</c><00:35:01.179><c> angels,</c><00:35:01.440><c> how</c><00:35:01.559><c> are</c><00:35:01.739><c> we</c><00:35:01.800><c> going</c><00:35:01.880><c> to</c><00:35:02.179><c> accomplish</c><00:35:02.380><c> this?</c>

00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:07.219
Now<00:35:05.400><c> don't</c><00:35:05.619><c> you</c><00:35:05.800><c> think</c><00:35:05.940><c> God</c><00:35:06.159><c> knew?</c>

00:35:07.780 --> 00:35:09.300
Of<00:35:08.019><c> course</c><00:35:08.179><c> he</c><00:35:08.340><c> knew.</c>

00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:13.960
But<00:35:10.260><c> he</c><00:35:10.360><c> gave</c><00:35:10.599><c> the</c><00:35:10.920><c> angels</c><00:35:11.119><c> the</c><00:35:11.400><c> chance</c><00:35:11.880><c> to</c><00:35:12.400><c> offer</c><00:35:12.719><c> suggestions</c><00:35:13.320><c> and</c><00:35:13.539><c> to</c><00:35:13.760><c> use</c>

00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:15.199
their<00:35:14.199><c> initiative.</c>

00:35:15.659 --> 00:35:18.780
And<00:35:15.820><c> so</c><00:35:15.940><c> it</c><00:35:16.119><c> says</c><00:35:16.300><c> there,</c><00:35:16.599><c> and</c><00:35:16.639><c> one</c><00:35:16.900><c> said</c><00:35:17.039><c> on</c><00:35:17.239><c> this</c><00:35:17.579><c> manner</c><00:35:17.820><c> and</c>

00:35:18.780 --> 00:35:19.739
another<00:35:19.039><c> said</c><00:35:19.199><c> on</c><00:35:19.380><c> that</c><00:35:19.619><c> manner.</c>

00:35:19.780 --> 00:35:21.699
So<00:35:19.900><c> they</c><00:35:20.039><c> all</c><00:35:20.159><c> had</c><00:35:20.320><c> ideas.</c>

00:35:23.940 --> 00:35:25.880
But<00:35:24.380><c> they</c><00:35:24.559><c> weren't</c><00:35:24.739><c> all</c><00:35:24.940><c> right.</c>

00:35:26.980 --> 00:35:30.460
And<00:35:27.179><c> then</c><00:35:27.320><c> in</c><00:35:27.460><c> verse</c><00:35:27.639><c> 21,</c><00:35:28.199><c> there</c><00:35:28.260><c> came</c><00:35:28.599><c> forth</c><00:35:28.980><c> a</c><00:35:29.380><c> spirit,</c><00:35:30.199><c> and</c>

00:35:30.460 --> 00:35:31.139
that's<00:35:30.699><c> an</c><00:35:30.880><c> angel,</c>
