00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.060
yes,<00:02:29.800><c> we</c><00:02:30.000><c> were</c><00:02:30.460><c> working</c><00:02:30.780><c> on</c><00:02:31.099><c> something</c><00:02:31.439><c> which</c><00:02:32.280><c> we</c><00:02:32.620><c> would</c><00:02:32.819><c> say</c>

00:02:35.060 --> 00:02:39.419
But<00:02:35.479><c> we've</c><00:02:36.000><c> had</c><00:02:36.159><c> a</c><00:02:36.400><c> crisis</c><00:02:36.919><c> in</c><00:02:37.659><c> our</c><00:02:37.900><c> community</c><00:02:38.360><c> for</c><00:02:38.719><c> the</c><00:02:38.919><c> last</c>

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:47.159
And<00:02:43.919><c> it</c><00:02:44.099><c> has</c><00:02:44.280><c> reached</c><00:02:44.539><c> such</c><00:02:44.900><c> proportions</c><00:02:45.500><c> that</c><00:02:45.780><c> it's</c><00:02:46.039><c> requiring</c><00:02:46.580><c> every</c>

00:02:56.659 --> 00:03:01.300
And<00:02:57.219><c> we</c><00:02:57.780><c> apologize</c><00:02:58.639><c> for</c><00:02:58.879><c> maybe</c><00:02:59.080><c> not</c><00:02:59.340><c> doing</c><00:02:59.599><c> as</c><00:03:00.139><c> thorough</c><00:03:00.599><c> a</c><00:03:00.900><c> job</c><00:03:01.099><c> as</c>

00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:12.560
Now,<00:03:06.300><c> I'd</c><00:03:06.620><c> like</c><00:03:06.699><c> to</c><00:03:07.020><c> start</c><00:03:07.219><c> in</c><00:03:07.599><c> Psalm</c><00:03:08.219><c> 103,</c><00:03:09.539><c> and</c><00:03:11.759><c> we're</c><00:03:12.379><c> going</c>

00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:37.620
But<00:03:22.460><c> there</c><00:03:24.020><c> are</c><00:03:24.460><c> good</c><00:03:25.020><c> summary</c><00:03:25.439><c> verses</c><00:03:25.919><c> about</c><00:03:26.280><c> this,</c><00:03:27.419><c> where</c><00:03:27.539><c> you</c><00:03:27.800><c> see</c><00:03:28.580><c> that</c><00:03:29.659><c> the</c><00:03:30.120><c> way</c><00:03:30.340><c> the</c><00:03:30.740><c> writer</c><00:03:31.039><c> has</c><00:03:31.379><c> put</c><00:03:31.560><c> it</c><00:03:31.759><c> in</c><00:03:32.159><c> one</c><00:03:32.439><c> little</c><00:03:33.419><c> phrase</c><00:03:33.939><c> or</c><00:03:34.400><c> one</c><00:03:34.960><c> sentence</c><00:03:35.400><c> or</c><00:03:35.620><c> one</c><00:03:35.960><c> paragraph</c><00:03:36.400><c> is</c><00:03:37.300><c> a</c>

00:03:39.460 --> 00:03:47.800
So<00:03:40.620><c> it</c><00:03:40.840><c> says</c><00:03:41.139><c> in</c><00:03:41.419><c> Psalm</c><00:03:41.800><c> 103</c><00:03:42.500><c> verse</c><00:03:42.939><c> 19,</c><00:03:45.860><c> Yahweh</c><00:03:46.439><c> has</c><00:03:47.139><c> prepared</c>

00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:13.419
That's<00:04:08.939><c> where</c><00:04:09.099><c> His</c><00:04:09.360><c> throne</c><00:04:09.560><c> is.</c><00:04:11.460><c> And</c><00:04:11.560><c> His</c><00:04:11.759><c> dominion,</c><00:04:12.520><c> His</c><00:04:12.780><c> power,</c><00:04:13.180><c> His</c>

So<00:12:44.559><c> that's</c><00:12:44.919><c> the</c><00:12:45.080><c> first</c><00:12:45.259><c> thing,</c><00:12:45.860><c> that</c><00:12:46.080><c> the</c><00:12:47.580><c> comfort</c><00:12:47.960><c> was</c><00:12:48.379><c> that</c>

00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:52.200
Daniel<00:12:49.259><c> could</c><00:12:49.799><c> see</c><00:12:50.419><c> that</c><00:12:51.139><c> God</c><00:12:51.500><c> knew</c><00:12:51.820><c> this.</c>

00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:55.639
He<00:12:52.500><c> had</c><00:12:52.720><c> the</c><00:12:53.000><c> ability</c><00:12:53.419><c> to</c><00:12:53.899><c> see</c><00:12:54.320><c> what</c><00:12:54.659><c> was</c><00:12:54.919><c> going</c><00:12:55.059><c> to</c><00:12:55.299><c> happen</c><00:12:55.460><c> in</c>

00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:58.700
the<00:12:55.779><c> future,</c><00:12:56.620><c> and</c><00:12:56.799><c> that</c><00:12:57.000><c> he</c><00:12:57.440><c> intervened</c><00:12:58.220><c> to</c><00:12:58.480><c> do</c><00:12:58.600><c> it.</c>

00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:02.059
It<00:12:58.860><c> wasn't</c><00:12:59.019><c> just</c><00:12:59.340><c> that</c><00:12:59.559><c> God</c><00:12:59.820><c> knew</c><00:13:00.019><c> the</c><00:13:00.220><c> future,</c><00:13:01.500><c> but</c><00:13:01.740><c> that</c><00:13:01.919><c> he</c>

00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:13.720
Again,<00:13:09.500><c> in</c><00:13:09.740><c> Daniel</c><00:13:10.080><c> 2,</c><00:13:11.919><c> you</c><00:13:12.019><c> know,</c><00:13:12.139><c> the</c><00:13:12.279><c> verse</c><00:13:12.480><c> that</c><00:13:12.679><c> we</c><00:13:12.899><c> make</c>

00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:20.120
so<00:13:14.159><c> much</c><00:13:14.720><c> of</c><00:13:15.620><c> is</c><00:13:15.960><c> Daniel</c><00:13:16.379><c> 2</c><00:13:16.899><c> verse</c><00:13:17.220><c> 44,</c><00:13:19.120><c> saying</c><00:13:19.440><c> essentially</c>

00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:21.659
the<00:13:20.399><c> same</c><00:13:20.659><c> thing.</c>

00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:26.120
That<00:13:21.980><c> in</c><00:13:22.139><c> the</c><00:13:22.379><c> days</c><00:13:22.620><c> of</c><00:13:22.940><c> these</c><00:13:23.259><c> kings</c><00:13:23.919><c> shall</c><00:13:25.059><c> the</c><00:13:25.259><c> God</c><00:13:25.480><c> of</c><00:13:25.639><c> heaven</c><00:13:25.879><c> set</c>

00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:29.500
up<00:13:26.299><c> a</c><00:13:26.519><c> kingdom</c><00:13:26.779><c> which</c><00:13:27.139><c> shall</c><00:13:27.419><c> never</c><00:13:27.980><c> be</c><00:13:28.419><c> destroyed.</c>

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.100
The<00:13:30.240><c> kingdom</c><00:13:30.460><c> shall</c><00:13:30.740><c> not</c><00:13:31.080><c> be</c><00:13:31.299><c> left</c><00:13:31.440><c> to</c><00:13:31.639><c> other</c><00:13:31.820><c> people.</c><00:13:32.159><c> It</c><00:13:32.299><c> shall</c><00:13:32.500><c> break</c><00:13:32.820><c> in</c>

00:13:33.100 --> 00:13:36.600
pieces<00:13:33.419><c> and</c><00:13:33.720><c> consume</c><00:13:34.360><c> all</c><00:13:35.419><c> these</c><00:13:35.700><c> kingdoms,</c><00:13:36.100><c> and</c><00:13:36.259><c> it</c><00:13:36.419><c> shall</c>

00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:38.059
stand<00:13:36.980><c> forever.</c>

00:13:39.860 --> 00:13:46.039
Now,<00:13:40.440><c> isn't</c><00:13:40.740><c> it</c><00:13:41.159><c> interesting</c><00:13:41.620><c> that</c><00:13:43.600><c> God</c><00:13:45.159><c> sees</c><00:13:45.500><c> the</c><00:13:45.700><c> only</c><00:13:45.860><c> way</c>

00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.740
to<00:13:46.200><c> deal</c><00:13:46.399><c> with</c><00:13:46.620><c> this</c><00:13:46.820><c> issue</c><00:13:47.059><c> is</c><00:13:47.299><c> to</c><00:13:47.580><c> break</c><00:13:47.799><c> these</c><00:13:48.120><c> other</c><00:13:48.340><c> kingdoms</c><00:13:48.659><c> up?</c>

00:13:50.779 --> 00:13:54.820
It's<00:13:51.360><c> a</c><00:13:51.480><c> violent</c><00:13:51.919><c> picture.</c><00:13:52.620><c> It</c><00:13:52.799><c> shall</c><00:13:53.039><c> break</c><00:13:53.659><c> in</c><00:13:54.139><c> pieces</c><00:13:54.440><c> and</c>

00:13:54.820 --> 00:13:56.820
consume<00:13:55.399><c> all</c><00:13:55.679><c> these</c><00:13:55.919><c> kingdoms.</c>

00:13:57.379 --> 00:14:01.580
It<00:13:57.480><c> wasn't</c><00:13:57.700><c> that</c><00:13:57.940><c> God</c><00:13:58.120><c> will</c><00:13:58.419><c> convert</c><00:13:58.759><c> them,</c><00:14:00.200><c> but</c><00:14:00.759><c> the</c><00:14:01.019><c> conversion</c><00:14:01.399><c> would</c>

00:14:01.580 --> 00:14:02.120
be<00:14:01.840><c> there.</c>

00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:04.600
You<00:14:02.299><c> can</c><00:14:02.580><c> see</c><00:14:02.759><c> that</c><00:14:02.960><c> in</c><00:14:03.159><c> other</c><00:14:03.460><c> prophecies</c><00:14:03.960><c> about</c><00:14:04.200><c> how</c><00:14:04.379><c> things</c>

00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:08.320
will<00:14:04.860><c> finally</c><00:14:05.179><c> work</c><00:14:05.500><c> out.</c><00:14:06.240><c> We</c><00:14:06.480><c> have</c><00:14:06.659><c> to</c><00:14:06.860><c> break</c><00:14:07.019><c> them</c><00:14:07.200><c> in</c><00:14:07.399><c> pieces.</c>

00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:11.980
Now,<00:14:08.779><c> why</c><00:14:09.059><c> is</c><00:14:09.299><c> it</c><00:14:09.440><c> that</c><00:14:09.600><c> God</c><00:14:09.860><c> must</c><00:14:10.159><c> do</c><00:14:10.340><c> this</c><00:14:10.799><c> violently?</c>

00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:16.240
Now,<00:14:13.000><c> to</c><00:14:13.139><c> bring</c><00:14:13.259><c> the</c><00:14:13.460><c> nations</c><00:14:13.740><c> to</c><00:14:14.039><c> their</c><00:14:14.299><c> knees</c><00:14:14.659><c> through</c><00:14:14.899><c> that</c><00:14:15.179><c> violence.</c>

00:14:16.460 --> 00:14:21.039
And<00:14:16.679><c> I</c><00:14:16.820><c> think</c><00:14:16.980><c> the</c><00:14:17.240><c> answer</c><00:14:17.460><c> is</c><00:14:17.820><c> given</c><00:14:18.039><c> in</c><00:14:18.320><c> Isaiah</c><00:14:18.639><c> 26,</c><00:14:20.679><c> where</c>

00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:26.279
we're<00:14:21.559><c> told</c><00:14:22.799><c> something</c><00:14:23.559><c> we</c><00:14:23.879><c> would</c><00:14:24.220><c> probably</c><00:14:24.740><c> never</c><00:14:25.340><c> know.</c>

00:14:27.059 --> 00:14:29.480
Certainly<00:14:27.600><c> there</c><00:14:27.759><c> would</c><00:14:27.960><c> be</c><00:14:28.039><c> a</c><00:14:28.120><c> lot</c><00:14:28.259><c> of</c><00:14:28.460><c> argument</c><00:14:28.679><c> around</c><00:14:28.960><c> it,</c>

00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:32.509
but<00:14:30.120><c> here</c><00:14:30.340><c> it</c><00:14:30.500><c> is.</c><00:14:31.200><c> We're</c><00:14:31.440><c> told</c><00:14:31.740><c> this.</c>

00:14:34.179 --> 00:14:38.000
And<00:14:34.179><c> in</c><00:14:34.360><c> Isaiah</c><00:14:34.639><c> 26</c><00:14:35.340><c> verse</c><00:14:35.659><c> 9,</c><00:14:36.500><c> with</c><00:14:36.580><c> my</c><00:14:37.000><c> soul</c><00:14:37.220><c> have</c><00:14:37.399><c> I</c><00:14:37.679><c> desired</c>

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.899

I<00:14:41.200><c> seek</c><00:14:41.360><c> thee</c><00:14:41.580><c> early.</c>

00:14:42.860 --> 00:14:47.519
For<00:14:43.100><c> when</c><00:14:43.399><c> thy</c><00:14:43.700><c> judgments</c><00:14:44.360><c> are</c><00:14:45.039><c> in</c><00:14:45.220><c> the</c><00:14:45.379><c> earth,</c><00:14:46.460><c> the</c><00:14:46.679><c> inhabitants</c><00:14:47.100><c> of</c><00:14:47.320><c> the</c>

00:14:49.889 --> 00:14:54.629
Now,<00:14:51.889><c> you've</c><00:14:52.070><c> got</c><00:14:52.110><c> to</c><00:14:52.210><c> get</c><00:14:52.309><c> that</c><00:14:52.549><c> order.</c><00:14:53.830><c> It's</c><00:14:53.970><c> not</c><00:14:54.210><c> that</c><00:14:54.370><c> they</c>

00:14:56.629 --> 00:15:00.129

00:15:00.129 --> 00:15:01.730
then<00:15:00.629><c> learn</c><00:15:01.049><c> righteousness.</c>

00:15:02.049 --> 00:15:06.409
Verse<00:15:02.210><c> 10,</c><00:15:03.110><c> let</c><00:15:03.490><c> favor</c><00:15:04.090><c> be</c><00:15:04.409><c> showed</c><00:15:04.610><c> to</c><00:15:04.830><c> the</c><00:15:04.990><c> wicked,</c><00:15:06.149><c> yet</c><00:15:06.250><c> he</c>

So<00:15:14.690><c> you</c><00:15:14.850><c> can</c><00:15:15.110><c> do</c><00:15:15.350><c> as</c><00:15:15.830><c> much</c><00:15:16.090><c> as</c><00:15:16.250><c> you</c><00:15:16.409><c> like</c><00:15:16.789><c> of</c><00:15:17.129><c> good</c><00:15:17.350><c> to</c><00:15:17.669><c> people</c>

00:15:48.370 --> 00:15:51.730
It's<00:15:48.470><c> because</c><00:15:48.769><c> God</c><00:15:49.190><c> sees</c><00:15:49.629><c> the</c><00:15:49.950><c> only</c><00:15:50.350><c> way</c><00:15:50.769><c> to</c><00:15:51.009><c> deal</c><00:15:51.269><c> with</c><00:15:51.509><c> the</c>

00:18:32.950 --> 00:18:37.190
And<00:18:33.109><c> then</c><00:18:33.730><c> and</c><00:18:34.230><c> then</c><00:18:34.390><c> in</c><00:18:34.490><c> verse</c><00:18:34.670><c> 10,</c><00:18:35.230><c> now</c><00:18:35.269><c> the</c><00:18:35.549><c> queen</c><00:18:35.829><c> by</c><00:18:36.069><c> reason</c><00:18:36.490><c> of</c><00:18:36.750><c> the</c><00:18:36.890><c> words</c><00:18:37.029><c> of</c>

00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:25.940
I<00:25:21.519><c> just</c><00:25:21.759><c> think</c><00:25:21.880><c> that's</c><00:25:22.200><c> the,</c><00:25:22.420><c> you</c><00:25:22.599><c> know,</c><00:25:22.660><c> the</c><00:25:22.799><c> worst</c><00:25:23.140><c> situation,</c><00:25:24.220><c> maybe</c><00:25:24.539><c> maybe</c><00:25:24.720><c> the</c><00:25:24.839><c> last</c><00:25:25.079><c> situation</c><00:25:25.660><c> of</c>

a<00:25:37.980><c> God.</c>

00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:40.880
So<00:25:38.839><c> when</c><00:25:39.079><c> God</c><00:25:39.339><c> speaks</c><00:25:39.619><c> to</c><00:25:39.779><c> you,</c><00:25:39.859><c> you'll</c><00:25:40.099><c> fight</c><00:25:40.220><c> against</c><00:25:40.599><c> him.</c>

00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:44.420
That<00:25:41.299><c> must</c><00:25:41.519><c> be</c><00:25:41.680><c> the</c><00:25:41.819><c> ultimate</c><00:25:42.220><c> then</c><00:25:42.500><c> into</c><00:25:42.720><c> the</c><00:25:42.839><c> vexation</c><00:25:43.259><c> of</c><00:25:43.519><c> spirit.</c>

00:25:44.819 --> 00:25:47.960
It<00:25:44.940><c> is</c><00:25:45.019><c> an</c><00:25:45.240><c> interesting</c><00:25:45.519><c> that</c><00:25:45.680><c> in</c><00:25:45.920><c> Acts</c><00:25:46.140><c> chapter</c><00:25:46.539><c> 10,</c><00:25:47.279><c> that</c><00:25:47.460><c> was</c><00:25:47.680><c> kind</c><00:25:47.859><c> of</c>

00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.359

00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:20.339

Thus<00:27:34.319><c> saith</c><00:27:34.619><c> Yahweh</c><00:27:35.039><c> to</c><00:27:35.319><c> his</c><00:27:35.539><c> anointed,</c><00:27:36.700><c> to</c><00:27:37.039><c> Cyrus,</c><00:27:38.140><c> whose</c><00:27:38.319><c> right</c><00:27:38.720><c> hand</c><00:27:39.039><c> I</c>

00:27:42.420 --> 00:27:45.640
And<00:27:42.519><c> I</c><00:27:42.680><c> will</c><00:27:42.960><c> loose</c><00:27:43.240><c> the</c><00:27:43.480><c> loins</c><00:27:43.759><c> of</c><00:27:44.059><c> kings,</c><00:27:44.839><c> to</c><00:27:44.980><c> open</c><00:27:45.220><c> before</c>

00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:53.400
And<00:27:50.640><c> I</c><00:27:50.779><c> will</c><00:27:50.920><c> go</c><00:27:51.200><c> before</c><00:27:51.619><c> thee</c><00:27:51.779><c> and</c><00:27:51.920><c> make</c><00:27:52.059><c> the</c><00:27:52.359><c> crooked</c><00:27:52.579><c> places</c><00:27:53.019><c> straight.</c>

00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:56.839
And<00:27:53.579><c> I</c><00:27:53.660><c> will</c><00:27:54.099><c> break</c><00:27:54.359><c> in</c><00:27:54.599><c> pieces</c><00:27:54.839><c> the</c><00:27:55.119><c> gates</c><00:27:55.319><c> of</c><00:27:55.599><c> brass</c><00:27:56.000><c> and</c><00:27:56.599><c> cut</c>

And<00:27:58.920><c> I</c><00:27:59.059><c> will</c><00:27:59.299><c> give</c><00:27:59.519><c> thee</c><00:27:59.759><c> the</c><00:28:00.000><c> treasures</c><00:28:00.359><c> of</c><00:28:00.619><c> darkness,</c><00:28:01.440><c> hidden</c><00:28:01.619><c> riches</c><00:28:01.920><c> of</c><00:28:02.220><c> secret</c><00:28:02.519><c> places,</c><00:28:03.400><c> that</c><00:28:03.519><c> thou</c><00:28:03.720><c> mayest</c><00:28:04.119><c> know</c><00:28:04.319><c> that</c><00:28:04.599><c> I,</c>

00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:08.759
Yahweh,<00:28:05.819><c> which</c><00:28:06.119><c> call</c><00:28:06.380><c> thee</c><00:28:06.579><c> by</c><00:28:06.900><c> name,</c><00:28:07.220><c> am</c><00:28:07.299><c> the</c><00:28:07.460><c> God</c><00:28:07.619><c> of</c><00:28:07.759><c> Israel.</c>

00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:12.819
Can<00:28:09.779><c> you</c><00:28:09.960><c> imagine</c><00:28:10.339><c> actually</c><00:28:11.099><c> having</c><00:28:11.480><c> done</c><00:28:11.940><c> that?</c>

00:28:14.339 --> 00:28:19.900
And<00:28:14.559><c> possibly</c><00:28:15.380><c> Daniel</c><00:28:16.200><c> or</c><00:28:17.640><c> someone</c><00:28:18.000><c> else</c><00:28:18.680><c> going</c><00:28:19.140><c> and</c><00:28:19.619><c> taking</c>

00:28:19.900 --> 00:28:22.599

00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:26.519
The<00:28:22.880><c> man</c><00:28:23.099><c> may</c><00:28:23.299><c> not</c><00:28:23.440><c> have</c><00:28:23.519><c> been</c><00:28:23.640><c> able</c><00:28:23.839><c> to</c><00:28:24.039><c> read</c><00:28:24.259><c> the</c><00:28:24.460><c> Hebrew,</c><00:28:25.460><c> but</c><00:28:25.640><c> for</c><00:28:25.920><c> someone</c><00:28:26.160><c> to</c>

00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:29.700
read<00:28:26.799><c> to</c><00:28:27.039><c> him</c><00:28:27.220><c> what</c><00:28:27.380><c> it</c><00:28:27.660><c> said,</c><00:28:27.960><c> and</c><00:28:28.079><c> there's</c><00:28:28.339><c> his</c><00:28:28.759><c> name.</c>

00:28:29.740 --> 00:28:30.839
There's<00:28:30.079><c> what</c><00:28:30.220><c> he</c><00:28:30.500><c> did.</c>

00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:34.319
There's<00:28:31.279><c> how</c><00:28:31.500><c> he</c><00:28:31.720><c> overthrew</c><00:28:32.220><c> this</c><00:28:32.559><c> land,</c><00:28:32.839><c> all</c><00:28:33.119><c> written</c><00:28:33.380><c> out.</c>

00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:37.400
It<00:28:35.039><c> must</c><00:28:35.259><c> have</c><00:28:35.400><c> been</c><00:28:35.539><c> pretty</c><00:28:36.279><c> impressive.</c>

00:28:37.859 --> 00:28:40.039
And<00:28:38.119><c> Cyrus</c><00:28:38.480><c> came</c><00:28:39.180><c> true.</c>

00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:43.420
It<00:28:40.480><c> wasn't</c><00:28:40.759><c> that</c><00:28:41.319><c> he</c><00:28:42.259><c> really</c><00:28:42.539><c> had</c><00:28:42.680><c> much</c><00:28:43.000><c> choice.</c>

00:28:43.420 --> 00:28:46.099
It<00:28:43.579><c> seemed</c><00:28:43.819><c> to</c><00:28:43.980><c> me</c><00:28:44.079><c> that</c><00:28:44.240><c> God</c><00:28:44.500><c> said</c><00:28:44.759><c> exactly</c><00:28:45.160><c> what</c><00:28:45.339><c> he</c><00:28:45.519><c> would</c><00:28:45.680><c> do.</c>

00:28:46.500 --> 00:28:48.839
And<00:28:46.900><c> he</c><00:28:47.500><c> did</c><00:28:47.700><c> it.</c>

00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:52.420
He<00:28:49.740><c> allowed</c><00:28:49.900><c> his</c><00:28:50.200><c> people</c><00:28:50.420><c> to</c><00:28:50.619><c> come</c><00:28:50.759><c> back.</c>

00:28:53.619 --> 00:28:58.619
So<00:28:53.859><c> we</c><00:28:54.259><c> see</c><00:28:54.819><c> in</c><00:28:55.920><c> this</c><00:28:56.140><c> little</c><00:28:56.400><c> bit</c><00:28:56.579><c> of</c><00:28:57.599><c> searching</c><00:28:57.880><c> through</c><00:28:58.380><c> the</c>

00:28:58.619 --> 00:29:01.160
record<00:28:58.779><c> of</c><00:28:59.059><c> Daniel</c><00:28:59.259><c> and</c><00:28:59.700><c> other</c><00:29:00.059><c> records</c><00:29:00.359><c> associated</c><00:29:00.940><c> with</c>

00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:03.319
it,<00:29:01.299><c> God</c><00:29:01.480><c> has</c><00:29:01.720><c> his</c><00:29:01.900><c> way</c><00:29:02.039><c> amongst</c><00:29:02.299><c> the</c><00:29:02.559><c> nations.</c>

00:29:03.779 --> 00:29:06.420
It<00:29:03.900><c> doesn't</c><00:29:04.140><c> matter</c><00:29:04.380><c> what</c><00:29:04.579><c> the</c><00:29:04.880><c> nations</c><00:29:05.220><c> think.</c>

00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:08.940
It's<00:29:07.400><c> what</c><00:29:07.720><c> God</c><00:29:08.019><c> thinks.</c>

00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:14.400
If<00:29:09.700><c> you</c><00:29:09.859><c> go</c><00:29:10.039><c> to</c><00:29:10.259><c> Daniel</c><00:29:10.559><c> chapter</c><00:29:11.079><c> six,</c><00:29:12.920><c> I</c><00:29:13.220><c> think</c><00:29:13.500><c> here's</c><00:29:14.140><c> the</c>

00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:16.460
testimony,<00:29:14.880><c> which</c><00:29:15.140><c> is</c><00:29:15.619><c> really</c><00:29:15.940><c> significant.</c>

00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:23.940
And<00:29:16.640><c> I</c><00:29:16.720><c> think</c><00:29:16.859><c> it</c><00:29:17.140><c> ties</c><00:29:17.259><c> in</c><00:29:17.599><c> quite</c><00:29:17.839><c> nicely</c><00:29:18.160><c> with</c><00:29:19.960><c> the</c><00:29:20.640><c> talk</c><00:29:21.039><c> that</c><00:29:21.980><c> we</c>

00:29:23.940 --> 00:29:25.140
heard<00:29:24.319><c> first.</c>

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:33.420
You<00:29:25.660><c> go</c><00:29:25.779><c> to</c><00:29:26.059><c> Daniel</c><00:29:26.500><c> chapter</c><00:29:27.480><c> six,</c><00:29:30.819><c> verses</c><00:29:31.440><c> 19</c><00:29:32.559><c> to</c><00:29:32.960><c> 22.</c>

00:29:33.420 --> 00:29:37.200
Now,<00:29:33.839><c> you</c><00:29:33.940><c> will</c><00:29:34.640><c> recall</c><00:29:35.200><c> the</c><00:29:35.400><c> record</c><00:29:35.779><c> of</c><00:29:36.079><c> Daniel</c><00:29:36.359><c> being</c><00:29:36.779><c> thrown</c><00:29:37.059><c> in</c>

00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:38.680
the<00:29:37.400><c> lion's</c><00:29:37.900><c> den.</c>

00:29:40.740 --> 00:29:44.559
And<00:29:41.180><c> the</c><00:29:41.619><c> king,</c><00:29:42.380><c> we</c><00:29:43.299><c> are</c><00:29:43.440><c> surprised,</c><00:29:44.119><c> I</c><00:29:44.299><c> think.</c>

00:29:44.700 --> 00:29:47.619
I<00:29:44.960><c> would</c><00:29:45.160><c> say</c><00:29:45.380><c> I</c><00:29:45.599><c> would</c><00:29:45.700><c> be</c><00:29:45.960><c> surprised</c><00:29:46.480><c> by</c><00:29:46.720><c> thinking</c><00:29:46.940><c> of</c><00:29:47.140><c> this</c><00:29:47.359><c> king.</c>

00:29:47.779 --> 00:29:52.099
It<00:29:47.920><c> doesn't</c><00:29:48.259><c> tell</c><00:29:48.500><c> us</c><00:29:48.680><c> that</c><00:29:48.960><c> Daniel</c><00:29:49.160><c> had</c><00:29:49.339><c> any</c><00:29:49.519><c> relationship</c><00:29:50.079><c> to</c><00:29:50.259><c> this</c><00:29:50.460><c> king,</c><00:29:51.079><c> but</c><00:29:51.119><c> he</c><00:29:51.480><c> must</c><00:29:51.700><c> have</c><00:29:51.819><c> had</c><00:29:51.920><c> a</c>

00:29:53.700 --> 00:29:54.779
concerned<00:29:54.039><c> about</c><00:29:54.319><c> Daniel.</c>

00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.319
And<00:29:55.359><c> Daniel</c><00:29:55.579><c> would</c><00:29:55.720><c> have</c><00:29:55.819><c> been</c><00:29:55.940><c> an</c><00:29:56.059><c> old</c><00:29:56.319><c> man.</c>

00:29:57.460 --> 00:30:02.779
So<00:29:58.059><c> we</c><00:29:58.299><c> find</c><00:29:58.960><c> in</c><00:29:59.259><c> verse</c><00:29:59.480><c> 16,</c><00:30:00.279><c> the</c><00:30:00.339><c> king</c><00:30:00.559><c> commanded,</c><00:30:01.480><c> they</c><00:30:01.480><c> brought</c><00:30:01.779><c> Daniel,</c><00:30:02.519><c> cast</c>

00:30:02.779 --> 00:30:04.480

00:30:29.940 --> 00:30:32.019
Why<00:30:30.160><c> would</c><00:30:30.339><c> the</c><00:30:30.500><c> king</c><00:30:30.640><c> think</c><00:30:30.920><c> that</c><00:30:31.220><c> way?</c>

00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:53.539

00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:43.539
Why<00:33:39.480><c> would</c><00:33:39.940><c> this</c><00:33:40.480><c> king,</c><00:33:41.500><c> who's</c><00:33:41.680><c> only</c><00:33:42.019><c> maybe</c><00:33:42.359><c> come</c><00:33:42.559><c> to</c><00:33:42.680><c> know</c><00:33:42.880><c> Daniel</c><00:33:43.180><c> for</c><00:33:43.440><c> a</c>

00:33:48.380 --> 00:33:51.079
Like<00:33:48.599><c> what's</c><00:33:49.140><c> this</c><00:33:49.660><c> about</c><00:33:50.180><c> a</c><00:33:50.619><c> living</c><00:33:50.839><c> God?</c>

00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:52.000
He<00:33:51.200><c> never</c><00:33:51.440><c> saw</c><00:33:51.740><c> God.</c>

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:53.920
He<00:33:52.119><c> wouldn't</c><00:33:52.299><c> have</c><00:33:52.440><c> known</c><00:33:52.599><c> God</c><00:33:52.859><c> was</c><00:33:53.119><c> alive.</c>

00:33:54.660 --> 00:33:57.019

00:33:57.019 --> 00:33:57.599
the<00:33:57.240><c> case.</c>

00:33:58.059 --> 00:34:01.579

Because<00:36:56.500><c> you</c><00:36:56.699><c> think,</c><00:36:57.380><c> boy,</c><00:36:57.539><c> if</c><00:36:57.860><c> that's</c><00:36:58.480><c> really</c><00:36:59.039><c> the</c><00:36:59.340><c> way</c><00:36:59.440><c> they</c>

00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:02.559
felt<00:36:59.940><c> about</c><00:37:00.219><c> it,</c><00:37:00.880><c> that</c><00:37:01.019><c> you</c><00:37:01.119><c> can</c><00:37:01.360><c> see</c><00:37:01.539><c> how</c><00:37:01.739><c> that</c><00:37:02.179><c> influences</c>

00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:06.400
everything<00:37:03.139><c> you</c><00:37:03.440><c> do</c><00:37:03.579><c> and</c><00:37:03.719><c> all</c><00:37:03.860><c> your</c><00:37:04.079><c> thoughts</c><00:37:04.420><c> that</c><00:37:04.980><c> God's</c><00:37:05.840><c> alive.</c>

00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:09.099
He's<00:37:06.920><c> powerful</c><00:37:07.500><c> every</c><00:37:08.119><c> moment</c><00:37:08.380><c> of</c><00:37:08.559><c> the</c><00:37:08.719><c> day.</c>

00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:11.179
He's<00:37:09.559><c> always</c><00:37:09.860><c> there</c><00:37:10.079><c> to</c><00:37:10.280><c> listen</c><00:37:10.539><c> to</c><00:37:10.760><c> us.</c>

00:37:11.639 --> 00:37:15.099
If<00:37:11.820><c> we</c><00:37:12.079><c> pray</c><00:37:12.380><c> according</c><00:37:12.699><c> to</c><00:37:12.900><c> his</c><00:37:13.099><c> will,</c><00:37:13.260><c> he</c><00:37:13.519><c> grants</c><00:37:13.880><c> what</c><00:37:14.099><c> we</c><00:37:14.340><c> want.</c>

00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:17.440
That's<00:37:16.599><c> power.</c>

00:37:17.539 --> 00:37:20.579
And<00:37:17.760><c> talking</c><00:37:18.000><c> it</c><00:37:18.219><c> up</c><00:37:18.420><c> and</c><00:37:18.639><c> acting</c><00:37:19.000><c> it</c><00:37:19.260><c> out</c><00:37:19.760><c> would</c><00:37:20.079><c> be</c><00:37:20.239><c> to</c><00:37:20.480><c> show</c>

00:37:20.579 --> 00:37:23.639
other<00:37:20.900><c> people</c><00:37:21.219><c> that</c><00:37:21.420><c> we</c><00:37:21.659><c> worship</c><00:37:22.019><c> the</c><00:37:22.400><c> living</c><00:37:22.699><c> God.</c>

00:37:23.900 --> 00:37:27.500
So<00:37:24.099><c> for</c><00:37:24.239><c> this</c><00:37:24.539><c> foreign</c><00:37:24.900><c> king</c><00:37:25.320><c> to</c><00:37:25.519><c> come</c><00:37:25.699><c> to</c><00:37:25.900><c> that</c><00:37:26.039><c> understanding</c><00:37:26.500><c> just</c><00:37:27.000><c> by</c><00:37:27.199><c> the</c>

00:37:27.500 --> 00:37:31.739
testimony<00:37:27.900><c> of</c><00:37:28.179><c> someone</c><00:37:28.380><c> else's</c><00:37:29.559><c> words</c><00:37:29.920><c> and</c><00:37:30.380><c> life,</c><00:37:31.420><c> very,</c>

00:37:31.739 --> 00:37:33.199
very<00:37:32.059><c> commendable.</c>

00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:37.679
How<00:37:34.559><c> do</c><00:37:34.760><c> we</c><00:37:34.980><c> rate</c><00:37:35.159><c> with</c><00:37:35.440><c> the</c><00:37:36.219><c> authorities</c><00:37:36.519><c> in</c><00:37:36.860><c> Canada?</c>

00:37:39.340 --> 00:37:43.099
I<00:37:39.340><c> wonder</c><00:37:39.559><c> if</c><00:37:39.699><c> the</c><00:37:40.440><c> prime</c><00:37:40.639><c> minister</c><00:37:41.199><c> of</c><00:37:41.900><c> any</c><00:37:42.199><c> level</c><00:37:42.420><c> of</c><00:37:42.639><c> government</c><00:37:42.880><c> would</c>

00:37:43.099 --> 00:37:45.739
even<00:37:43.360><c> know</c><00:37:43.519><c> there</c><00:37:43.719><c> are</c><00:37:44.039><c> Christadelphians</c><00:37:44.639><c> in</c><00:37:44.920><c> Canada.</c>

00:37:46.619 --> 00:37:48.619
You<00:37:46.719><c> know,</c><00:37:46.820><c> you</c><00:37:46.940><c> might</c><00:37:47.139><c> happen</c><00:37:47.480><c> to</c><00:37:47.760><c> just</c><00:37:47.940><c> because</c><00:37:48.260><c> they</c><00:37:48.440><c> knew</c>

00:37:48.619 --> 00:37:50.059
someone<00:37:48.920><c> who</c><00:37:49.219><c> was.</c>

00:37:50.260 --> 00:37:52.599
But<00:37:50.440><c> I</c><00:37:50.639><c> wonder,</c><00:37:51.099><c> brothers</c><00:37:51.139><c> and</c><00:37:51.360><c> sisters,</c><00:37:51.699><c> sometimes</c><00:37:52.300><c> whether</c>

00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:54.739
our<00:37:52.980><c> testimony</c><00:37:53.380><c> is</c><00:37:53.619><c> very</c><00:37:53.980><c> weak.</c>

00:37:54.940 --> 00:37:56.760
Our<00:37:55.199><c> voice</c><00:37:55.539><c> is</c><00:37:55.880><c> so</c><00:37:56.280><c> small.</c>

00:37:56.860 --> 00:37:58.159
People<00:37:57.099><c> don't</c><00:37:57.380><c> hear</c><00:37:57.559><c> us.</c>

00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:00.800
It's<00:37:59.079><c> almost</c><00:37:59.300><c> as</c><00:37:59.539><c> if,</c><00:37:59.679><c> you</c><00:37:59.800><c> know,</c><00:38:00.000><c> we</c><00:38:00.099><c> don't</c><00:38:00.239><c> have</c><00:38:00.440><c> anything</c>

00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:04.559
that's<00:38:01.260><c> worth</c><00:38:01.820><c> shouting</c><00:38:02.179><c> out</c><00:38:02.599><c> so</c><00:38:02.920><c> everybody</c><00:38:03.300><c> can</c><00:38:03.579><c> hear.</c>

00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:08.320
And<00:38:05.599><c> these</c><00:38:05.800><c> are</c><00:38:05.960><c> the</c><00:38:06.139><c> things</c><00:38:06.280><c> that</c><00:38:06.599><c> test</c><00:38:06.900><c> us</c><00:38:07.159><c> when</c><00:38:07.280><c> we</c><00:38:07.559><c> come</c><00:38:07.860><c> to</c>

00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:10.480
consider<00:38:08.579><c> the</c><00:38:08.780><c> scriptures</c><00:38:09.059><c> together</c><00:38:09.460><c> and</c><00:38:09.639><c> see</c><00:38:09.800><c> what</c><00:38:10.059><c> happened</c><00:38:10.320><c> in</c>

00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:11.579
other<00:38:10.679><c> ages.</c>

00:38:11.639 --> 00:38:13.900
And<00:38:12.019><c> it</c><00:38:12.199><c> all</c><00:38:12.420><c> calls</c><00:38:12.699><c> us</c><00:38:13.019><c> to</c><00:38:13.300><c> greater</c><00:38:13.559><c> heights.</c>

00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:17.579
We<00:38:14.559><c> can't</c><00:38:14.920><c> lose</c><00:38:15.260><c> by</c><00:38:15.480><c> anything</c><00:38:15.719><c> like</c><00:38:16.019><c> that.</c>

00:38:19.940 --> 00:38:22.260
The<00:38:20.079><c> other</c><00:38:20.260><c> brother</c><00:38:20.659><c> had</c><00:38:20.840><c> a</c><00:38:20.940><c> little</c><00:38:21.119><c> trouble</c><00:38:21.340><c> with</c><00:38:21.639><c> time,</c><00:38:22.000><c> too,</c><00:38:22.079><c> and</c>

00:38:22.260 --> 00:38:24.719
it's<00:38:22.599><c> one</c><00:38:22.699><c> of</c><00:38:22.780><c> those</c><00:38:22.960><c> things</c><00:38:23.199><c> that's</c><00:38:23.460><c> difficult</c><00:38:23.860><c> to</c><00:38:24.079><c> deal</c><00:38:24.199><c> with.</c>

00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:28.219
We<00:38:25.579><c> go</c><00:38:25.739><c> to</c><00:38:25.940><c> Daniel,</c><00:38:26.320><c> Chapter</c><00:38:26.780><c> seven.</c>

00:38:28.539 --> 00:38:33.840
Now,<00:38:28.639><c> this</c><00:38:28.800><c> is</c><00:38:29.019><c> the</c><00:38:29.199><c> one</c><00:38:29.360><c> where</c><00:38:30.280><c> we</c><00:38:32.800><c> have</c><00:38:33.000><c> all</c><00:38:33.239><c> these</c><00:38:33.440><c> symbols.</c>

00:38:33.900 --> 00:38:37.860
And<00:38:34.059><c> as</c><00:38:34.280><c> was</c><00:38:34.619><c> alluded</c><00:38:35.199><c> to,</c><00:38:35.860><c> there</c><00:38:36.079><c> is</c><00:38:36.340><c> a</c><00:38:36.500><c> real</c><00:38:36.780><c> tie</c><00:38:37.179><c> in</c><00:38:37.420><c> between</c>

00:38:37.860 --> 00:38:46.960
Daniel,<00:38:38.340><c> Chapter</c><00:38:38.739><c> two</c><00:38:39.079><c> and</c><00:38:39.280><c> Daniel,</c><00:38:39.719><c> Chapter</c><00:38:40.219><c> seven,</c><00:38:41.320><c> how</c><00:38:41.900><c> God</c><00:38:42.320><c> sees</c><00:38:42.820><c> these</c><00:38:43.500><c> great</c><00:38:44.679><c> kingdoms</c><00:38:45.119><c> as</c><00:38:46.079><c> peace.</c>

00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:49.840
Now,<00:38:48.159><c> I</c><00:38:48.300><c> think</c><00:38:48.440><c> we</c><00:38:48.539><c> have</c><00:38:48.699><c> to</c><00:38:48.800><c> be</c><00:38:48.900><c> a</c><00:38:48.960><c> little</c><00:38:49.139><c> bit</c><00:38:49.360><c> careful</c><00:38:49.599><c> there</c>

00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:54.139
because<00:38:50.219><c> you</c><00:38:50.380><c> know</c><00:38:50.480><c> how</c><00:38:50.559><c> the</c><00:38:50.780><c> King</c><00:38:50.980><c> James</c><00:38:51.280><c> goes</c><00:38:51.559><c> into</c><00:38:52.019><c> the</c><00:38:53.639><c> Book</c><00:38:53.940><c> of</c>

00:38:54.139 --> 00:38:57.460
Revelation<00:38:54.659><c> and</c><00:38:55.340><c> talks</c><00:38:55.739><c> about</c><00:38:56.039><c> four</c><00:38:56.460><c> beasts.</c>

00:38:57.880 --> 00:38:59.420
No,<00:38:58.159><c> they're</c><00:38:58.380><c> not</c><00:38:58.619><c> four</c><00:38:59.000><c> beasts.</c>

00:38:59.539 --> 00:39:01.300
Not<00:38:59.820><c> the</c><00:38:59.960><c> way</c><00:39:00.119><c> we</c><00:39:00.340><c> normally</c><00:39:00.599><c> use</c><00:39:00.820><c> that</c><00:39:01.119><c> word.</c>

00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:04.059
We<00:39:01.539><c> say</c><00:39:01.699><c> they're</c><00:39:02.139><c> four</c><00:39:02.500><c> living</c><00:39:02.780><c> creatures.</c>

00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:12.019
OK,<00:39:05.480><c> because</c><00:39:05.739><c> we</c><00:39:05.980><c> see</c><00:39:06.139><c> these</c><00:39:06.400><c> living</c><00:39:06.860><c> creatures</c><00:39:07.500><c> being</c><00:39:08.340><c> representative</c><00:39:09.099><c> of</c><00:39:09.500><c> something</c><00:39:09.820><c> quite</c><00:39:10.219><c> spiritual,</c><00:39:10.900><c> not</c><00:39:11.139><c> representative</c><00:39:11.699><c> of</c>

00:39:12.019 --> 00:39:15.099
something<00:39:12.300><c> quite</c><00:39:12.820><c> on</c><00:39:13.739><c> the</c><00:39:13.860><c> other</c><00:39:14.079><c> end,</c><00:39:14.320><c> quite</c><00:39:14.519><c> natural.</c>

00:39:15.099 --> 00:39:17.460
Like<00:39:15.420><c> according</c><00:39:16.000><c> to</c><00:39:16.199><c> a</c><00:39:16.460><c> natural</c><00:39:16.519><c> beast.</c>

00:39:18.300 --> 00:39:24.159

Noble<00:41:40.940><c> in</c><00:41:41.139><c> the</c><00:41:41.300><c> sense</c><00:41:41.500><c> that</c><00:41:41.820><c> it</c><00:41:41.940><c> doesn't</c><00:41:42.280><c> react</c><00:41:42.679><c> with</c><00:41:42.880><c> other</c><00:41:43.059><c> things.</c>

00:41:43.539 --> 00:41:46.440
It's<00:41:43.659><c> a</c><00:41:44.219><c> metal</c><00:41:44.559><c> that</c><00:41:44.900><c> you</c><00:41:45.099><c> can</c><00:41:45.380><c> find</c><00:41:45.699><c> gold</c><00:41:46.000><c> nuggets.</c>

00:41:46.940 --> 00:41:49.820
You<00:41:47.059><c> can</c><00:41:47.260><c> go</c><00:41:47.420><c> out</c><00:41:47.539><c> and</c><00:41:48.059><c> pan</c><00:41:48.440><c> for</c><00:41:48.639><c> them</c><00:41:48.739><c> in</c><00:41:48.860><c> a</c><00:41:49.039><c> stream</c><00:41:49.260><c> and</c><00:41:49.460><c> expect</c><00:41:49.699><c> you</c>

00:41:49.820 --> 00:41:51.400
can<00:41:49.980><c> actually</c><00:41:50.239><c> find</c><00:41:50.460><c> gold</c><00:41:50.679><c> that</c><00:41:50.940><c> way.</c>

00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:53.980
Because<00:41:51.820><c> that's</c><00:41:51.980><c> the</c><00:41:52.059><c> way</c><00:41:52.119><c> people</c><00:41:52.340><c> have</c><00:41:52.519><c> always</c><00:41:52.780><c> found</c><00:41:53.039><c> gold.</c>

00:41:54.199 --> 00:41:55.900
The<00:41:54.380><c> gold</c><00:41:54.460><c> is</c><00:41:54.619><c> just</c><00:41:54.860><c> there.</c>

00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:01.099
It's<00:41:58.239><c> a</c><00:41:58.639><c> metal</c><00:41:58.880><c> that</c><00:41:59.139><c> God</c><00:41:59.340><c> has</c><00:41:59.659><c> made</c><00:42:00.159><c> so</c><00:42:00.519><c> that</c><00:42:00.719><c> you</c><00:42:00.900><c> wouldn't</c>

00:42:01.099 --> 00:42:02.659
have<00:42:01.380><c> to</c><00:42:01.559><c> refine</c><00:42:01.980><c> it.</c>

00:42:02.659 --> 00:42:07.380
Although<00:42:03.019><c> it</c><00:42:03.079><c> is</c><00:42:03.320><c> refined</c><00:42:03.739><c> because</c><00:42:04.199><c> I</c><00:42:04.579><c> suppose</c><00:42:05.059><c> that</c><00:42:06.019><c> in</c><00:42:06.599><c> various</c><00:42:07.000><c> ways</c>

00:42:07.380 --> 00:42:11.579
there<00:42:07.539><c> can</c><00:42:07.760><c> be</c><00:42:07.980><c> something</c><00:42:08.320><c> that</c><00:42:08.619><c> can</c><00:42:09.000><c> get</c><00:42:09.139><c> into</c><00:42:09.340><c> the</c><00:42:09.539><c> gold</c><00:42:10.199><c> by</c>

00:42:11.579 --> 00:42:12.980
the<00:42:11.639><c> way</c><00:42:11.739><c> it's</c><00:42:12.000><c> handled.</c>

00:42:13.820 --> 00:42:18.239
Now<00:42:14.219><c> silver</c><00:42:14.559><c> is</c><00:42:15.219><c> also</c><00:42:15.760><c> considered</c><00:42:16.139><c> to</c><00:42:16.320><c> be</c><00:42:16.619><c> a</c><00:42:16.840><c> noble</c><00:42:17.199><c> metal.</c>

00:42:18.460 --> 00:42:20.539
Not<00:42:18.699><c> as</c><00:42:19.239><c> noble,</c><00:42:19.500><c> if</c><00:42:19.639><c> you</c><00:42:19.840><c> like,</c><00:42:20.119><c> as</c><00:42:20.219><c> gold.</c>

00:42:20.699 --> 00:42:26.739
I<00:42:20.780><c> don't</c><00:42:20.960><c> mean</c><00:42:21.119><c> noble</c><00:42:21.380><c> in</c><00:42:21.559><c> the</c><00:42:21.639><c> way</c><00:42:22.000><c> of</c><00:42:22.619><c> nobles,</c><00:42:23.400><c> you</c><00:42:23.400><c> know,</c><00:42:23.820><c> people</c><00:42:24.059><c> that</c><00:42:24.300><c> are</c><00:42:24.820><c> high</c><00:42:25.619><c> in</c><00:42:26.019><c> esteem.</c>

00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:31.159
I<00:42:26.920><c> mean</c><00:42:27.139><c> noble</c><00:42:27.440><c> in</c><00:42:27.619><c> the</c><00:42:27.739><c> sense</c><00:42:27.980><c> that</c><00:42:28.300><c> it's</c><00:42:29.619><c> a</c><00:42:29.800><c> metal</c><00:42:30.019><c> that</c><00:42:30.420><c> doesn't</c><00:42:30.739><c> get</c>

00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:32.219
contaminated<00:42:31.719><c> easily.</c>

00:42:32.219 --> 00:42:35.300
It<00:42:32.320><c> doesn't</c><00:42:32.920><c> bond</c><00:42:33.420><c> with</c><00:42:33.579><c> other</c><00:42:33.800><c> materials</c><00:42:34.179><c> easily.</c>

00:42:36.099 --> 00:42:39.719
So<00:42:36.239><c> silver</c><00:42:36.500><c> is</c><00:42:37.039><c> considered</c><00:42:37.519><c> to</c><00:42:37.699><c> be</c><00:42:37.820><c> a</c><00:42:38.000><c> noble</c><00:42:38.179><c> metal</c><00:42:38.659><c> of</c><00:42:39.300><c> the</c>

00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:40.300
very<00:42:40.019><c> few.</c>

00:42:40.420 --> 00:42:42.860
So<00:42:40.619><c> you</c><00:42:40.760><c> got</c><00:42:40.900><c> gold</c><00:42:41.280><c> and</c><00:42:41.480><c> you</c><00:42:41.539><c> got</c><00:42:41.699><c> silver,</c><00:42:42.000><c> both</c><00:42:42.300><c> noble</c><00:42:42.579><c> metals.</c>

00:42:42.940 --> 00:42:44.800
Would<00:42:43.059><c> you</c><00:42:43.199><c> come</c><00:42:43.320><c> down</c><00:42:43.500><c> to</c><00:42:43.619><c> the</c><00:42:43.679><c> next</c><00:42:43.880><c> one?</c>

00:42:44.900 --> 00:42:48.099
Now<00:42:45.119><c> I</c><00:42:45.239><c> can't</c><00:42:45.559><c> be</c><00:42:45.820><c> sure,</c><00:42:46.639><c> and</c><00:42:46.860><c> I</c><00:42:47.000><c> don't</c><00:42:47.119><c> know</c><00:42:47.239><c> if</c><00:42:47.380><c> anybody</c><00:42:47.659><c> can,</c>

00:42:48.280 --> 00:42:50.300
if<00:42:48.699><c> people</c><00:42:49.119><c> can</c><00:42:49.719><c> be</c><00:42:49.920><c> sure</c><00:42:50.099><c> of</c><00:42:50.179><c> this.</c>

00:42:50.300 --> 00:42:54.219
I'd<00:42:50.559><c> like</c><00:42:50.559><c> to</c><00:42:50.739><c> know</c><00:42:50.880><c> how</c><00:42:51.119><c> you</c><00:42:51.320><c> can</c><00:42:51.519><c> be</c><00:42:51.760><c> sure</c><00:42:51.960><c> whether</c><00:42:52.320><c> brass</c><00:42:53.000><c> is</c>

00:42:54.219 --> 00:42:58.940
brass<00:42:54.840><c> or</c><00:42:55.639><c> whether</c><00:42:55.940><c> it's</c><00:42:56.360><c> bronze</c><00:42:56.980><c> or</c><00:42:57.519><c> whether</c><00:42:57.639><c> it's</c><00:42:57.960><c> copper.</c>

00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:01.739
Okay,<00:42:59.719><c> so</c><00:42:59.920><c> there's</c><00:43:00.159><c> three</c><00:43:00.480><c> metals</c><00:43:00.719><c> that</c><00:43:00.980><c> could</c><00:43:01.159><c> be</c><00:43:01.500><c> that's</c>

00:43:01.739 --> 00:43:02.619
being<00:43:01.920><c> described</c><00:43:02.340><c> there.</c>

00:43:02.619 --> 00:43:07.260
And<00:43:02.800><c> I</c><00:43:03.000><c> think</c><00:43:03.179><c> it's</c><00:43:03.920><c> probably</c><00:43:04.719><c> brass</c><00:43:05.219><c> or</c><00:43:05.480><c> bronze,</c><00:43:05.940><c> but</c><00:43:06.139><c> not</c><00:43:06.360><c> copper.</c>

00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:12.739
Now<00:43:08.300><c> copper</c><00:43:08.639><c> is</c><00:43:10.699><c> one</c><00:43:11.039><c> of</c><00:43:11.059><c> those</c><00:43:11.320><c> borderline</c><00:43:11.940><c> materials</c><00:43:12.400><c> which</c>

00:43:12.739 --> 00:43:14.400
is<00:43:13.679><c> mostly</c><00:43:14.059><c> noble.</c>

00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:17.079
It's<00:43:14.800><c> not</c><00:43:14.980><c> a</c><00:43:15.219><c> material</c><00:43:15.519><c> that</c><00:43:15.920><c> bonds</c><00:43:16.320><c> with</c><00:43:16.539><c> other</c><00:43:16.699><c> materials</c>

00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:20.360
largely,<00:43:17.599><c> so</c><00:43:18.039><c> it's</c><00:43:18.539><c> more</c><00:43:18.800><c> like</c><00:43:19.139><c> silver</c><00:43:19.639><c> and</c><00:43:20.099><c> gold.</c>

00:43:20.380 --> 00:43:22.900
And<00:43:20.639><c> some</c><00:43:20.880><c> textbooks</c><00:43:21.320><c> actually</c><00:43:21.780><c> call</c><00:43:22.099><c> it</c><00:43:22.260><c> one</c><00:43:22.420><c> of</c><00:43:22.500><c> the</c><00:43:22.679><c> noble</c>

00:43:22.900 --> 00:43:24.260
metals,<00:43:23.320><c> copper.</c>

00:43:24.860 --> 00:43:29.699
But<00:43:25.460><c> if</c><00:43:25.880><c> it's</c><00:43:26.219><c> bronze,</c><00:43:27.119><c> then</c><00:43:27.340><c> it's</c><00:43:27.800><c> alloyed</c><00:43:28.960><c> with</c><00:43:29.280><c> tin.</c>

00:43:29.860 --> 00:43:33.039
And<00:43:30.039><c> if</c><00:43:30.139><c> it's</c><00:43:30.440><c> brass,</c><00:43:31.420><c> it's</c><00:43:31.679><c> alloyed</c><00:43:32.059><c> with</c><00:43:32.239><c> zinc.</c>

00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:37.679
Now<00:43:34.139><c> spiritually,</c><00:43:35.300><c> how</c><00:43:35.539><c> does</c><00:43:35.739><c> an</c><00:43:36.059><c> alloy</c><00:43:36.420><c> stand</c><00:43:36.880><c> up</c><00:43:37.440><c> with</c>

00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:38.960
something<00:43:37.960><c> that's</c><00:43:38.199><c> pure?</c>

00:43:39.860 --> 00:43:43.360
Okay,<00:43:40.099><c> you've</c><00:43:40.380><c> degraded</c><00:43:40.800><c> spiritually</c><00:43:41.260><c> when</c><00:43:41.480><c> you</c><00:43:41.699><c> think</c><00:43:41.860><c> of</c><00:43:42.039><c> going</c><00:43:42.239><c> from</c><00:43:42.880><c> a</c>

00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:47.679
noble<00:43:43.679><c> pure</c><00:43:44.179><c> metal</c><00:43:44.559><c> to</c><00:43:44.980><c> a</c><00:43:45.760><c> not</c><00:43:45.960><c> maybe</c><00:43:46.400><c> so</c><00:43:46.960><c> noble</c><00:43:47.199><c> of</c><00:43:47.420><c> a</c><00:43:47.599><c> metal.</c>

00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:49.280
But<00:43:47.880><c> now</c><00:43:48.159><c> you've</c><00:43:48.400><c> got</c><00:43:48.519><c> to</c><00:43:48.719><c> a</c><00:43:48.880><c> mixture.</c>

00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:54.739
You've<00:43:50.039><c> actually</c><00:43:50.360><c> got</c><00:43:50.639><c> two</c><00:43:50.920><c> metals</c><00:43:51.219><c> that</c><00:43:51.440><c> are</c><00:43:51.500><c> being</c><00:43:51.860><c> put</c><00:43:52.139><c> together,</c><00:43:53.599><c> but</c>

00:43:54.739 --> 00:43:58.780
iron<00:43:55.260><c> never</c><00:43:56.139><c> found</c><00:43:56.659><c> in</c><00:43:57.400><c> nature</c><00:43:57.719><c> alone.</c>

00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:03.340
Iron<00:44:00.380><c> is</c><00:44:00.639><c> always</c><00:44:00.960><c> found</c><00:44:01.340><c> in</c><00:44:01.599><c> a</c><00:44:02.000><c> state</c><00:44:02.260><c> of</c><00:44:02.559><c> being</c><00:44:02.800><c> bonded</c><00:44:03.079><c> with</c>

00:44:03.340 --> 00:44:04.699
some<00:44:03.519><c> other</c><00:44:03.719><c> material.</c>

00:44:08.300 --> 00:44:11.780
Now<00:44:08.440><c> it's</c><00:44:08.599><c> an</c><00:44:08.800><c> element,</c><00:44:09.280><c> and</c><00:44:09.320><c> you</c><00:44:09.340><c> can</c><00:44:09.940><c> identify</c><00:44:10.360><c> it</c><00:44:10.500><c> as</c><00:44:10.639><c> an</c><00:44:10.780><c> element,</c><00:44:10.940><c> you</c><00:44:11.019><c> can</c><00:44:11.219><c> work</c><00:44:11.440><c> with</c><00:44:11.579><c> it</c>

00:44:11.780 --> 00:44:12.300
as<00:44:11.940><c> an</c><00:44:12.099><c> element,</c>

00:44:12.340 --> 00:44:15.559
but<00:44:12.500><c> you</c><00:44:12.659><c> would</c><00:44:12.940><c> never</c><00:44:13.460><c> dig</c><00:44:13.820><c> iron</c><00:44:14.199><c> out</c><00:44:14.440><c> of</c><00:44:14.880><c> the</c><00:44:15.179><c> ground</c><00:44:15.400><c> unless</c>

00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:17.320
it<00:44:15.619><c> was</c><00:44:16.139><c> a</c><00:44:16.300><c> tin</c><00:44:16.500><c> can</c><00:44:16.699><c> or</c><00:44:16.860><c> something.</c>

00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:20.920
Someone<00:44:17.980><c> had</c><00:44:18.219><c> already</c><00:44:18.539><c> done</c><00:44:18.780><c> the</c><00:44:19.099><c> processing</c><00:44:19.500><c> with</c><00:44:19.739><c> it.</c>

00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:23.860
That's<00:44:21.380><c> interesting</c><00:44:21.739><c> because</c><00:44:22.219><c> spiritually,</c><00:44:23.079><c> that's</c><00:44:23.280><c> exactly</c><00:44:23.699><c> the</c>

00:44:23.860 --> 00:44:25.360
way<00:44:23.880><c> those</c><00:44:24.260><c> metals</c><00:44:24.440><c> went.</c>

00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:30.619
The<00:44:26.079><c> fourth</c><00:44:26.380><c> beast</c><00:44:27.199><c> says</c><00:44:28.719><c> it</c><00:44:28.920><c> had</c><00:44:29.199><c> iron</c><00:44:29.679><c> teeth.</c>

00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:33.679
Now<00:44:31.599><c> there's</c><00:44:31.800><c> no</c><00:44:32.039><c> animal</c><00:44:32.320><c> with</c><00:44:32.539><c> iron</c><00:44:32.760><c> teeth.</c>

00:44:34.860 --> 00:44:37.420
There<00:44:35.079><c> might</c><00:44:35.280><c> be</c><00:44:35.579><c> animals</c><00:44:35.840><c> that</c><00:44:36.000><c> have</c><00:44:36.159><c> teeth</c><00:44:36.400><c> like</c><00:44:36.619><c> iron,</c><00:44:37.219><c> but</c>

00:44:37.420 --> 00:44:39.780
there's<00:44:37.739><c> no</c><00:44:37.980><c> animal</c><00:44:38.219><c> that</c><00:44:38.400><c> has</c><00:44:38.500><c> iron</c><00:44:38.800><c> teeth.</c>

00:44:40.380 --> 00:44:42.699
I<00:44:40.400><c> don't</c><00:44:40.440><c> know</c><00:44:40.519><c> what</c><00:44:41.300><c> they</c><00:44:41.380><c> put</c><00:44:41.579><c> in</c><00:44:41.679><c> these</c><00:44:41.940><c> things.</c>

00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:46.940
Normally,<00:44:44.960><c> iron</c><00:44:45.219><c> teeth</c><00:44:45.599><c> is</c><00:44:45.860><c> not</c><00:44:46.079><c> something</c><00:44:46.300><c> you</c><00:44:46.420><c> would</c><00:44:46.659><c> ever</c>

00:44:50.260 --> 00:44:51.659
That's<00:44:50.639><c> man</c><00:44:50.840><c>-made.</c>

00:44:52.019 --> 00:44:57.579
There's<00:44:52.340><c> something</c><00:44:52.579><c> about</c><00:44:52.920><c> this</c><00:44:53.420><c> whole</c><00:44:53.780><c> idea,</c><00:44:54.880><c> which</c><00:44:55.099><c> is</c><00:44:55.719><c> probably</c><00:44:56.480><c> closer</c><00:44:57.179><c> to</c>

00:44:57.579 --> 00:44:59.659
the<00:44:58.000><c> democratic</c><00:44:58.500><c> spirit,</c>

00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:18.619

00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:54.000
Okay,<00:45:53.219><c> well,</c><00:45:53.400><c> that's</c><00:45:53.659><c> the</c><00:45:53.780><c> reason.</c>

00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:58.760

00:46:33.420 --> 00:46:35.960

00:46:41.980 --> 00:46:43.880

00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:51.239

So<00:46:56.639><c> you</c><00:46:56.860><c> start</c><00:46:57.019><c> to</c><00:46:57.280><c> think</c><00:46:57.460><c> of</c><00:46:57.780><c> how</c><00:46:58.159><c> people</c><00:46:59.019><c> would</c><00:46:59.380><c> ever</c><00:46:59.639><c> survive</c><00:47:00.280><c> their</c>

00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:01.619
Jewish<00:47:01.000><c> thoughts.</c>

00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:05.079
Like<00:47:02.320><c> we</c><00:47:02.619><c> want</c><00:47:02.920><c> you</c><00:47:03.219><c> to</c><00:47:03.559><c> sing</c><00:47:03.760><c> us</c><00:47:03.980><c> one</c><00:47:04.119><c> of</c><00:47:04.239><c> the</c><00:47:04.340><c> songs</c><00:47:04.599><c> of</c><00:47:04.820><c> Zion</c>

00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:07.579
in<00:47:05.260><c> that</c><00:47:05.960><c> particular</c><00:47:06.420><c> situation.</c>

00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:12.940
And<00:47:08.000><c> now</c><00:47:08.340><c> the</c><00:47:09.940><c> persecution</c><00:47:10.639><c> is</c><00:47:11.179><c> coming</c><00:47:11.500><c> in</c><00:47:11.639><c> a</c><00:47:11.840><c> spiritual</c><00:47:12.360><c> sense,</c>

00:47:12.940 --> 00:47:16.980
because<00:47:13.780><c> the</c><00:47:14.059><c> people</c><00:47:14.300><c> over</c><00:47:14.619><c> them</c><00:47:15.280><c> were</c><00:47:15.820><c> people</c><00:47:16.199><c> that</c><00:47:16.579><c> didn't</c>

00:47:16.980 --> 00:47:18.400

00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:20.619
when<00:47:18.539><c> it</c><00:47:18.679><c> came</c><00:47:18.840><c> to</c><00:47:19.019><c> spiritual</c><00:47:19.400><c> things.</c>

00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:23.480
Okay,<00:47:21.579><c> just</c><00:47:21.780><c> moving</c><00:47:21.940><c> on.</c>

00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:28.340
We<00:47:26.039><c> got</c><00:47:26.139><c> about</c><00:47:26.300><c> three</c><00:47:26.500><c> minutes</c><00:47:26.860><c> or</c><00:47:27.099><c> so.</c>

00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:35.500
Just<00:47:30.800><c> let</c><00:47:31.000><c> me</c><00:47:31.280><c> find</c><00:47:32.300><c> a</c><00:47:33.440><c> couple</c><00:47:33.820><c> very</c><00:47:34.460><c> interesting</c><00:47:34.980><c> passages,</c>

00:47:35.500 --> 00:47:37.260
I<00:47:35.739><c> think,</c><00:47:36.039><c> in</c><00:47:36.199><c> Isaiah</c><00:47:36.539><c> here.</c>

00:47:38.980 --> 00:47:42.400
It's<00:47:39.440><c> always</c><00:47:39.880><c> impressed</c><00:47:40.380><c> me</c><00:47:40.679><c> when</c><00:47:40.860><c> God</c><00:47:41.159><c> speaks</c><00:47:41.480><c> of</c><00:47:41.679><c> the</c><00:47:41.880><c> nations</c><00:47:42.159><c> in</c>

Isaiah<00:47:42.739><c> chapter</c><00:47:43.159><c> 40.</c>

00:47:46.619 --> 00:47:49.260
This<00:47:46.820><c> is</c><00:47:47.079><c> God's</c><00:47:47.539><c> view</c><00:47:47.739><c> of</c><00:47:48.099><c> the</c><00:47:48.360><c> nations.</c>

00:47:51.860 --> 00:47:52.960
Verse<00:47:52.320><c> 15.</c>

00:47:53.320 --> 00:47:57.539
Behold,<00:47:53.860><c> the</c><00:47:54.059><c> nations</c><00:47:54.659><c> are</c><00:47:55.059><c> as</c><00:47:55.219><c> a</c><00:47:55.559><c> drop</c><00:47:55.960><c> of</c><00:47:56.500><c> a</c><00:47:56.699><c> bucket.</c>

00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:02.360
They're<00:47:58.679><c> counted</c><00:47:59.039><c> as</c><00:47:59.300><c> the</c><00:47:59.780><c> small</c><00:48:00.400><c> dust</c><00:48:00.900><c> of</c><00:48:01.119><c> the</c><00:48:01.360><c> balance.</c>

00:48:03.239 --> 00:48:05.820
He<00:48:03.539><c> taketh</c><00:48:03.699><c> up</c><00:48:03.880><c> the</c><00:48:04.119><c> isles</c><00:48:04.440><c> as</c><00:48:04.659><c> a</c><00:48:04.900><c> very</c><00:48:05.179><c> little</c><00:48:05.420><c> thing.</c>

00:48:05.820 --> 00:48:10.480
Lebanon<00:48:06.980><c> is</c><00:48:07.340><c> not</c><00:48:07.599><c> sufficient</c><00:48:08.039><c> to</c><00:48:08.340><c> burn,</c><00:48:08.800><c> nor</c><00:48:08.820><c> the</c><00:48:09.099><c> beasts</c><00:48:09.360><c> thereof</c><00:48:09.719><c> sufficient</c><00:48:10.199><c> for</c>

00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:11.780
a<00:48:10.639><c> burnt</c><00:48:10.820><c> offering.</c>

00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:15.159
All<00:48:12.500><c> nations</c><00:48:12.880><c> before</c><00:48:13.360><c> him</c><00:48:13.619><c> are</c><00:48:13.940><c> as</c><00:48:14.300><c> nothing.</c>

00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:20.380
They<00:48:16.039><c> are</c><00:48:16.280><c> counted</c><00:48:16.420><c> to</c><00:48:16.699><c> him</c><00:48:16.880><c> less</c><00:48:17.360><c> than</c><00:48:17.679><c> nothing</c><00:48:18.219><c> in</c><00:48:19.460><c> vanity.</c>

00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:29.559
Hence,<00:48:24.119><c> if</c><00:48:24.380><c> it</c><00:48:24.559><c> ever</c><00:48:25.239><c> comes</c><00:48:26.320><c> to</c><00:48:26.480><c> us</c><00:48:26.679><c> to</c><00:48:26.900><c> feel</c><00:48:27.719><c> proud</c><00:48:28.260><c> to</c><00:48:28.420><c> be</c><00:48:28.559><c> a</c><00:48:28.780><c> Canadian,</c>

00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:34.380
and<00:48:30.920><c> you</c><00:48:31.360><c> know,</c><00:48:31.500><c> sometimes</c><00:48:31.940><c> when</c><00:48:32.119><c> you're</c><00:48:32.380><c> in</c><00:48:32.500><c> other</c><00:48:32.679><c> countries</c><00:48:33.239><c> and</c><00:48:34.280><c> you</c>

00:48:34.380 --> 00:48:36.119
look<00:48:34.539><c> at</c><00:48:34.619><c> what</c><00:48:34.800><c> they</c><00:48:35.059><c> have,</c>

00:48:36.460 --> 00:48:39.380
you<00:48:36.679><c> really</c><00:48:36.900><c> do</c><00:48:37.179><c> feel</c><00:48:37.380><c> good</c><00:48:37.559><c> that</c><00:48:37.699><c> you</c><00:48:37.840><c> can</c><00:48:37.940><c> come</c><00:48:38.159><c> back</c><00:48:38.360><c> to</c><00:48:38.579><c> Canada.</c>

00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:42.360
I<00:48:40.059><c> might</c><00:48:40.280><c> think</c><00:48:40.400><c> it's</c><00:48:40.619><c> probably</c><00:48:40.920><c> the</c><00:48:41.099><c> best</c><00:48:41.739><c> country</c><00:48:42.079><c> in</c><00:48:42.239><c> the</c>

00:48:44.139 --> 00:48:46.119
in<00:48:44.239><c> terms</c><00:48:44.440><c> of</c><00:48:44.579><c> the</c><00:48:44.820><c> freedoms</c><00:48:45.039><c> that</c><00:48:45.239><c> we</c><00:48:45.380><c> have</c><00:48:45.559><c> here</c><00:48:45.840><c> and</c><00:48:45.960><c> what</c>

00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:47.699
we<00:48:46.340><c> have</c><00:48:46.480><c> here.</c>

00:48:48.679 --> 00:48:51.360
But<00:48:49.119><c> nations</c><00:48:49.559><c> mean</c><00:48:49.860><c> nothing</c><00:48:50.260><c> to</c><00:48:50.579><c> God.</c>

00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:54.619
You<00:48:51.880><c> know</c><00:48:52.019><c> how</c><00:48:52.219><c> you</c><00:48:52.460><c> despise</c><00:48:53.019><c> the</c><00:48:53.539><c> last</c><00:48:53.900><c> drop</c><00:48:54.099><c> in</c><00:48:54.280><c> the</c><00:48:54.440><c> bucket.</c>

00:48:55.119 --> 00:48:56.360
You<00:48:55.320><c> don't</c><00:48:55.480><c> even</c><00:48:55.699><c> bother</c><00:48:55.900><c> dumping</c><00:48:56.139><c> it</c><00:48:56.300><c> out.</c>

00:48:56.360 --> 00:48:59.239
You're<00:48:56.360><c> not</c><00:48:56.360><c> going</c><00:48:56.440><c> to</c><00:48:56.500><c> leave</c><00:48:56.619><c> it</c><00:48:56.780><c> in</c><00:48:57.119><c> because</c><00:48:57.360><c> you</c><00:48:57.480><c> know</c><00:48:57.599><c> it'll</c><00:48:57.880><c> evaporate</c><00:48:58.280><c> pretty</c><00:48:58.480><c> fast</c><00:48:58.820><c> anyway.</c>

00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:00.639
You<00:48:59.619><c> don't</c><00:48:59.719><c> even</c><00:48:59.880><c> bother</c><00:49:00.139><c> with</c><00:49:00.300><c> it.</c>

00:49:00.780 --> 00:49:03.079
The<00:49:01.039><c> small</c><00:49:01.280><c> dust</c><00:49:01.480><c> of</c><00:49:01.619><c> the</c><00:49:01.800><c> balance,</c><00:49:02.139><c> we</c><00:49:02.360><c> don't</c><00:49:02.539><c> even</c><00:49:02.800><c> bother</c>

00:49:03.079 --> 00:49:03.860
brushing<00:49:03.360><c> it</c><00:49:03.639><c> off.</c>

00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:06.960
We<00:49:04.260><c> just</c><00:49:04.519><c> weigh</c><00:49:04.760><c> on</c><00:49:05.139><c> because</c><00:49:05.380><c> it</c><00:49:05.599><c> means</c><00:49:05.760><c> so</c><00:49:06.119><c> little.</c>

00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:08.860
And<00:49:07.320><c> that's</c><00:49:07.460><c> what</c><00:49:07.659><c> God</c><00:49:07.880><c> is</c><00:49:08.199><c> trying</c><00:49:08.400><c> to</c><00:49:08.599><c> tell</c><00:49:08.699><c> us.</c>

00:49:08.900 --> 00:49:12.219
I<00:49:09.000><c> don't</c><00:49:09.280><c> believe</c><00:49:09.619><c> that</c><00:49:09.900><c> these</c><00:49:10.159><c> things</c><00:49:10.400><c> are</c><00:49:10.719><c> there</c><00:49:11.260><c> for</c><00:49:11.820><c> those</c>

00:49:13.860 --> 00:49:15.780
They<00:49:14.099><c> don't</c><00:49:14.340><c> read</c><00:49:14.579><c> those</c><00:49:14.900><c> things.</c>

00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:17.860
They<00:49:15.960><c> must</c><00:49:16.199><c> be</c><00:49:16.420><c> there</c><00:49:16.559><c> for</c><00:49:16.760><c> us.</c>

00:49:18.579 --> 00:49:22.079
That<00:49:18.699><c> if</c><00:49:18.840><c> ever</c><00:49:19.019><c> we</c><00:49:19.320><c> feel</c><00:49:19.980><c> threatened</c><00:49:20.579><c> or</c><00:49:20.900><c> intimidated</c><00:49:21.400><c> by</c><00:49:21.780><c> the</c>

00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:50.659
If<00:49:43.800><c> you</c><00:49:43.920><c> go</c><00:49:44.039><c> to</c><00:49:44.219><c> Acts</c><00:49:44.519><c> chapter</c><00:49:45.199><c> 10,</c><00:49:48.000><c> it's</c><00:49:48.420><c> not</c><00:49:48.599><c> that</c><00:49:49.599><c> God</c><00:49:50.119><c> just</c>

00:49:59.400 --> 00:50:01.760
God<00:49:59.659><c> does</c><00:50:00.079><c> care</c><00:50:00.699><c> about</c><00:50:01.179><c> a</c><00:50:01.420><c> person.</c>

00:50:02.059 --> 00:50:05.860
We<00:50:02.119><c> hope</c><00:50:02.480><c> we</c><00:50:03.280><c> are</c><00:50:03.619><c> one</c><00:50:03.820><c> of</c><00:50:03.920><c> those</c><00:50:04.179><c> people</c><00:50:04.599><c> with</c><00:50:05.179><c> a</c><00:50:05.400><c> humble</c><00:50:05.579><c> and</c>

And<00:50:07.880><c> God</c><00:50:08.059><c> does</c><00:50:08.280><c> look</c><00:50:08.619><c> favorably</c><00:50:09.199><c> and</c><00:50:09.480><c> blesses</c><00:50:09.880><c> those</c><00:50:10.139><c> people.</c>

00:52:23.679 --> 00:52:27.219
what<00:52:23.880><c> God</c><00:52:24.199><c> intends</c><00:52:24.579><c> to</c><00:52:24.820><c> do</c><00:52:24.940><c> for</c><00:52:25.159><c> those</c><00:52:25.480><c> who</c><00:52:25.739><c> hold</c><00:52:26.340><c> close</c><00:52:26.780><c> to</c><00:52:27.000><c> Him.</c>

00:52:27.219 --> 00:52:30.780
But<00:52:27.639><c> we</c><00:52:28.739><c> would</c><00:52:29.000><c> know</c><00:52:29.159><c> that</c><00:52:29.340><c> all</c><00:52:29.579><c> these</c><00:52:29.840><c> statements</c><00:52:30.139><c> are</c><00:52:30.480><c> bounced</c>

00:52:41.739 --> 00:52:43.320
It<00:52:41.920><c> would</c><00:52:42.059><c> never</c><00:52:42.300><c> happen.</c>

00:52:43.860 --> 00:52:46.460
If<00:52:43.980><c> someone</c><00:52:44.280><c> was</c><00:52:44.480><c> on</c><00:52:44.659><c> such</c><00:52:44.820><c> a</c><00:52:45.039><c> power</c><00:52:45.280><c> trip</c><00:52:45.500><c> that</c><00:52:45.659><c> they</c><00:52:45.920><c> joined</c>

and<00:52:50.880><c> then</c><00:52:51.059><c> they</c><00:52:51.219><c> would</c><00:52:51.320><c> go</c><00:52:51.440><c> out</c><00:52:51.559><c> and</c><00:52:51.719><c> be</c><00:52:51.820><c> who</c><00:52:51.980><c> they've</c><00:52:52.239><c> always</c>

that<00:52:58.119><c> way.</c>

00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:01.280
It's<00:52:58.699><c> not</c><00:52:58.920><c> that</c><00:52:59.079><c> God</c><00:52:59.320><c> would</c><00:52:59.579><c> just</c><00:52:59.880><c> want</c><00:53:00.059><c> people</c><00:53:00.420><c> to</c><00:53:00.599><c> be</c><00:53:00.780><c> having</c>

00:53:03.380 --> 00:53:06.480

00:53:18.780 --> 00:53:21.800
So<00:53:19.739><c> if</c><00:53:20.119><c> you</c><00:53:20.360><c> worked</c><00:53:20.659><c> under</c><00:53:21.039><c> the</c><00:53:21.179><c> name</c><00:53:21.300><c> of</c><00:53:21.559><c> God,</c>
