the<00:05:34.959><c> time</c><00:05:35.160><c> when</c><00:05:35.319><c> the</c><00:05:35.420><c> Lord</c><00:05:35.579><c> Jesus</c><00:05:35.980><c> Christ</c><00:05:36.339><c> first</c><00:05:36.800><c> returns.</c>

00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:41.639
For<00:05:37.579><c> example,</c><00:05:38.360><c> sometimes</c><00:05:38.680><c> we'll</c><00:05:38.939><c> hear</c><00:05:39.240><c> people</c><00:05:39.620><c> quoting</c><00:05:40.279><c> from</c>

00:05:44.980 --> 00:05:47.439
there'll<00:05:45.180><c> be</c><00:05:45.300><c> no</c><00:05:45.480><c> more</c><00:05:45.740><c> tears,</c><00:05:46.139><c> no</c><00:05:46.319><c> more</c><00:05:46.600><c> sighing,</c><00:05:46.939><c> no</c><00:05:47.160><c> more</c>

of<00:05:49.839><c> the</c><00:05:49.980><c> Lord</c><00:05:50.160><c> Jesus</c><00:05:50.620><c> Christ,</c><00:05:51.819><c> overlooking</c><00:05:52.180><c> the</c><00:05:52.379><c> fact</c><00:05:52.579><c> that</c>

00:05:52.779 --> 00:05:53.920
during<00:05:53.100><c> the</c><00:05:53.279><c> millennium,</c><00:05:53.600><c> of</c><00:05:53.800><c> course,</c>

00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.379
there<00:05:54.100><c> will</c><00:05:54.379><c> still</c><00:05:54.720><c> be</c><00:05:54.959><c> death</c><00:05:55.279><c> for</c><00:05:55.600><c> the</c><00:05:55.759><c> mortal</c><00:05:56.100><c> population.</c>

00:05:57.779 --> 00:06:02.899
So<00:05:58.100><c> it's</c><00:05:58.540><c> not</c><00:05:58.699><c> until</c><00:05:59.019><c> the</c><00:05:59.240><c> end</c><00:05:59.500><c> of</c><00:05:59.660><c> the</c><00:05:59.779><c> millennium</c><00:06:00.740><c> when</c><00:06:01.439><c> finally</c><00:06:02.379><c> all</c>

00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.660
And<00:06:20.120><c> then</c><00:06:20.319><c> there</c><00:06:20.439><c> will</c><00:06:20.600><c> be</c><00:06:20.720><c> no</c><00:06:20.920><c> more</c><00:06:21.139><c> death,</c><00:06:21.699><c> no</c><00:06:21.879><c> more</c><00:06:22.180><c> sorrow</c>

00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.100
But<00:06:24.759><c> clearly</c><00:06:25.139><c> during</c><00:06:25.480><c> that</c><00:06:25.800><c> thousand</c><00:06:26.259><c> year</c><00:06:26.540><c> reign</c><00:06:26.839><c> of</c><00:06:27.019><c> the</c>

00:06:29.620 --> 00:06:32.759
the<00:06:29.800><c> conditions</c><00:06:30.500><c> in</c><00:06:30.959><c> which</c><00:06:31.139><c> men</c><00:06:31.300><c> will</c><00:06:31.480><c> be</c><00:06:31.660><c> living</c><00:06:31.839><c> will</c><00:06:32.560><c> be</c>

00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.399
greatly<00:06:33.180><c> improved</c><00:06:33.980><c> and</c><00:06:34.379><c> those</c><00:06:34.759><c> blessings</c>

00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.319
that<00:06:35.519><c> were</c><00:06:35.740><c> promised</c><00:06:36.000><c> to</c><00:06:36.439><c> Abraham</c><00:06:37.019><c> that</c><00:06:37.420><c> would</c><00:06:37.699><c> flow</c><00:06:37.899><c> to</c><00:06:38.120><c> all</c>

00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:41.779
nations<00:06:38.959><c> will</c><00:06:39.420><c> certainly</c><00:06:39.759><c> make</c><00:06:40.220><c> a</c><00:06:40.459><c> big</c><00:06:40.699><c> difference.</c>

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.420
So<00:06:42.379><c> that's</c><00:06:42.579><c> what</c><00:06:42.720><c> we're</c><00:06:42.860><c> going</c><00:06:42.939><c> to</c><00:06:43.040><c> be</c><00:06:43.199><c> thinking</c><00:06:43.339><c> about</c><00:06:44.040><c> this</c>

00:06:44.420 --> 00:06:45.759
weekend,<00:06:44.819><c> because</c><00:06:45.100><c> it's</c><00:06:45.339><c> no</c><00:06:45.579><c> good</c>

00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.819
just<00:06:46.139><c> thinking</c><00:06:46.339><c> about</c><00:06:46.860><c> what</c><00:06:47.420><c> life</c><00:06:47.740><c> is</c><00:06:48.000><c> going</c><00:06:48.120><c> to</c><00:06:48.279><c> be</c><00:06:48.439><c> like</c><00:06:48.660><c> in</c>

00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.680
So<00:06:56.240><c> we'll</c><00:06:56.339><c> be</c><00:06:56.519><c> thinking</c><00:06:56.740><c> to</c><00:06:57.000><c> ourselves,</c><00:06:57.500><c> well,</c><00:06:57.959><c> first</c><00:06:58.180><c> of</c><00:06:58.360><c> all,</c><00:06:58.500><c> of</c>

00:06:58.680 --> 00:06:59.920
course,<00:06:58.899><c> it's</c><00:06:59.160><c> necessary</c><00:06:59.519><c> for</c><00:06:59.680><c> us</c><00:06:59.800><c> to</c>

00:10:58.340 --> 00:11:00.440
Nobody<00:10:58.679><c> said,</c><00:10:59.019><c> isn't</c><00:10:59.159><c> it</c><00:10:59.419><c> wonderful,</c><00:10:59.679><c> I</c><00:10:59.879><c> mean,</c><00:10:59.879><c> we</c><00:11:00.080><c> were</c><00:11:00.080><c> thinking</c><00:11:00.220><c> how</c>

00:17:45.099 --> 00:17:47.799
It's<00:17:45.279><c> also</c><00:17:45.539><c> worth</c><00:17:45.700><c> reflecting</c><00:17:46.059><c> on</c><00:17:46.259><c> the</c><00:17:46.339><c> fact</c><00:17:46.460><c> that</c><00:17:46.799><c> as</c><00:17:47.039><c> a</c><00:17:47.140><c> result</c><00:17:47.380><c> of</c>

00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:54.559
there's<00:17:50.619><c> much</c><00:17:50.859><c> more</c><00:17:51.039><c> opportunity</c><00:17:51.640><c> now</c><00:17:52.240><c> for</c><00:17:53.339><c> powers</c><00:17:53.740><c> like</c><00:17:54.059><c> Russia</c><00:17:54.440><c> and</c>

00:17:58.339 --> 00:18:02.319

00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:13.420

00:18:19.700 --> 00:18:23.339
And<00:18:19.799><c> there's</c><00:18:19.880><c> nothing</c><00:18:20.079><c> like</c><00:18:20.480><c> a</c><00:18:20.660><c> good</c><00:18:21.640><c> battle</c><00:18:22.299><c> against</c><00:18:22.839><c> some</c>

00:18:52.779 --> 00:18:57.319
When<00:18:53.339><c> the</c><00:18:53.880><c> British</c><00:18:54.200><c> were</c><00:18:54.480><c> having</c><00:18:54.660><c> a</c><00:18:54.839><c> go</c><00:18:55.019><c> in</c><00:18:55.799><c> Argentina,</c><00:18:57.160><c> then</c>

00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.180
in<00:18:57.380><c> a</c><00:18:57.579><c> sense</c><00:18:57.799><c> she</c><00:18:58.720><c> enjoyed</c><00:18:59.019><c> greater</c><00:18:59.460><c> popularity</c>

00:19:00.180 --> 00:19:03.400
then<00:19:00.759><c> than</c><00:19:01.140><c> I</c><00:19:01.160><c> think</c><00:19:01.460><c> probably</c><00:19:01.720><c> at</c><00:19:01.839><c> any</c><00:19:02.059><c> time</c><00:19:02.339><c> during</c><00:19:02.700><c> her</c><00:19:03.079><c> regime.</c>

00:19:03.539 --> 00:19:06.319
So<00:19:03.720><c> it</c><00:19:03.779><c> is</c><00:19:03.920><c> that</c><00:19:04.119><c> these</c><00:19:04.400><c> kind</c><00:19:04.599><c> of</c><00:19:05.019><c> adventures</c><00:19:05.480><c> overseas</c><00:19:06.059><c> where</c>

00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.720
I<00:19:12.259><c> think</c><00:19:12.519><c> the</c><00:19:12.839><c> British</c><00:19:13.079><c> were</c><00:19:13.359><c> quite</c><00:19:13.700><c> pleased</c><00:19:14.140><c> to</c><00:19:14.299><c> see</c><00:19:14.480><c> the</c><00:19:14.579><c> New</c>

00:19:19.460 --> 00:19:19.819

00:19:19.900 --> 00:19:23.500
So<00:19:20.039><c> we'd</c><00:19:20.279><c> like</c><00:19:20.299><c> to</c><00:19:20.420><c> see</c><00:19:20.640><c> foreigners</c><00:19:20.980><c> bashed</c><00:19:21.660><c> a</c><00:19:21.819><c> bit</c><00:19:22.099><c> if</c><00:19:22.380><c> we</c><00:19:22.660><c> possibly</c><00:19:23.079><c> can</c>

00:22:42.890 --> 00:22:43.829
them,<00:22:43.089><c> what</c><00:22:43.230><c> do</c><00:22:43.349><c> they</c><00:22:43.430><c> bring</c><00:22:43.609><c> them</c><00:22:43.730><c> to?</c>

00:22:43.930 --> 00:22:46.490
They're<00:22:44.130><c> bringing</c><00:22:44.269><c> them</c><00:22:44.529><c> to</c><00:22:44.710><c> the</c><00:22:44.890><c> place</c><00:22:45.150><c> of</c><00:22:45.490><c> judgment,</c><00:22:45.930><c> aren't</c><00:22:46.190><c> they?</c>

00:22:46.849 --> 00:22:50.630
And<00:22:46.990><c> Jesus</c><00:22:47.170><c> talks</c><00:22:47.410><c> about</c><00:22:47.730><c> one</c><00:22:48.049><c> being</c><00:22:48.369><c> taken</c><00:22:48.769><c> and</c><00:22:49.190><c> another</c><00:22:49.630><c> left.</c>

00:22:50.829 --> 00:22:57.869
So<00:22:51.130><c> my</c><00:22:51.809><c> own</c><00:22:52.210><c> view</c><00:22:52.410><c> is</c><00:22:53.029><c> that</c><00:22:54.329><c> Jesus</c><00:22:54.849><c> will</c><00:22:55.150><c> return</c><00:22:55.970><c> in</c><00:22:56.589><c> a</c><00:22:56.809><c> way</c><00:22:57.029><c> which</c><00:22:57.349><c> will</c><00:22:57.609><c> not</c>

00:23:01.789 --> 00:23:07.150
It<00:23:02.109><c> will</c><00:23:02.230><c> be</c><00:23:02.450><c> evident</c><00:23:02.769><c> to</c><00:23:03.029><c> those</c><00:23:03.470><c> who</c><00:23:03.789><c> are</c><00:23:04.170><c> called</c><00:23:04.529><c> to</c><00:23:04.890><c> judgment,</c><00:23:05.789><c> the</c><00:23:05.950><c> responsible.</c>

00:23:06.990 --> 00:23:13.470
Remember<00:23:07.309><c> how</c><00:23:07.970><c> Daniel</c><00:23:08.670><c> tells</c><00:23:09.250><c> us</c><00:23:09.509><c> that</c><00:23:09.750><c> many</c><00:23:10.950><c> who</c><00:23:12.829><c> sleep</c><00:23:13.190><c> in</c>

00:23:13.470 --> 00:23:16.109
the<00:23:13.650><c> dust</c><00:23:13.950><c> of</c><00:23:14.210><c> the</c><00:23:14.349><c> earth</c><00:23:14.690><c> shall</c><00:23:14.990><c> arise.</c>

00:23:16.289 --> 00:23:22.349
And<00:23:16.710><c> he</c><00:23:17.750><c> says</c><00:23:17.970><c> that</c><00:23:18.289><c> to</c><00:23:18.450><c> us,</c><00:23:19.250><c> incidentally,</c><00:23:19.589><c> just</c><00:23:19.809><c> in</c><00:23:20.009><c> the</c><00:23:20.210><c> context</c><00:23:20.849><c> of</c>

the<00:23:22.849><c> events</c><00:23:23.710><c> taking</c><00:23:24.109><c> place</c>

00:23:24.609 --> 00:23:28.369

00:23:28.369 --> 00:23:29.849
come<00:23:28.809><c> down.</c>

00:23:30.569 --> 00:23:33.890
Many<00:23:31.210><c> of</c><00:23:31.569><c> them</c><00:23:31.750><c> that</c><00:23:31.930><c> sleep</c><00:23:32.029><c> in</c><00:23:32.190><c> the</c><00:23:32.190><c> dust</c><00:23:32.329><c> of</c><00:23:32.450><c> the</c><00:23:32.450><c> earth</c><00:23:32.609><c> shall</c><00:23:33.049><c> awake,</c><00:23:33.569><c> some</c>

00:23:33.890 --> 00:23:34.809
to<00:23:34.109><c> everlasting</c><00:23:34.470><c> life</c>

00:23:34.809 --> 00:23:37.450
and<00:23:35.089><c> some</c><00:23:35.269><c> to</c><00:23:35.549><c> shame</c><00:23:35.789><c> and</c><00:23:36.109><c> everlasting</c><00:23:36.730><c> contempt.</c>

00:23:37.549 --> 00:23:40.670
So<00:23:37.670><c> not</c><00:23:37.769><c> everybody</c><00:23:38.170><c> that's</c><00:23:38.430><c> ever</c><00:23:38.750><c> died</c><00:23:39.369><c> knows</c><00:23:40.049><c> that</c><00:23:40.190><c> the</c><00:23:40.329><c> wicked</c><00:23:40.509><c> are</c>

00:23:40.670 --> 00:23:42.630

00:23:42.650 --> 00:23:45.250
So<00:23:42.829><c> those</c><00:23:43.089><c> who</c><00:23:43.329><c> die</c><00:23:43.569><c> in</c><00:23:43.750><c> ignorance</c><00:23:44.029><c> like</c><00:23:44.349><c> the</c><00:23:44.589><c> beasts,</c><00:23:45.009><c> then</c>

00:23:45.250 --> 00:23:47.029
that's<00:23:46.190><c> where</c><00:23:46.390><c> they</c><00:23:46.650><c> remain.</c>

00:23:47.470 --> 00:23:51.190
But<00:23:47.630><c> those</c><00:23:47.829><c> who</c><00:23:47.950><c> are</c><00:23:48.089><c> responsible</c><00:23:48.930><c> are</c><00:23:49.690><c> taken</c><00:23:50.089><c> to</c><00:23:50.509><c> the</c><00:23:50.809><c> place</c>

00:23:52.950 --> 00:23:57.250
And<00:23:53.230><c> we</c><00:23:53.809><c> know</c><00:23:54.130><c> again</c><00:23:54.509><c> how</c><00:23:55.369><c> there</c><00:23:56.230><c> are</c><00:23:56.269><c> many</c><00:23:56.490><c> passages</c><00:23:56.849><c> in</c><00:23:57.069><c> the</c>

00:25:03.910 --> 00:25:07.329

We<00:25:20.690><c> know</c><00:25:20.869><c> how,</c><00:25:21.309><c> again,</c><00:25:21.690><c> in</c><00:25:21.789><c> Daniel</c><00:25:22.250><c> chapter</c><00:25:22.670><c> 11,</c><00:25:22.970><c> we're</c><00:25:23.190><c> told</c>

00:25:29.529 --> 00:25:33.109

00:25:39.009 --> 00:25:45.430
This<00:25:39.009><c> is</c><00:25:39.089><c> Daniel</c><00:25:39.589><c> chapter</c><00:25:40.269><c> 11</c><00:25:40.710><c> and</c><00:25:40.950><c> verse</c><00:25:42.130><c> 41.</c>

00:25:45.430 --> 00:25:47.529
He<00:25:45.670><c> shall</c><00:25:45.849><c> enter</c><00:25:46.130><c> also</c><00:25:46.470><c> into</c><00:25:46.670><c> the</c><00:25:46.910><c> glorious</c><00:25:47.210><c> land.</c>

00:25:47.769 --> 00:25:49.589
Many<00:25:47.849><c> countries</c><00:25:48.170><c> should</c><00:25:48.369><c> be</c><00:25:48.529><c> overthrown,</c><00:25:49.049><c> but</c><00:25:49.130><c> these</c><00:25:49.369><c> shall</c>

00:25:49.589 --> 00:25:51.829

00:25:56.230 --> 00:26:01.069
And<00:25:56.630><c> he</c><00:25:57.750><c> stretches</c><00:25:58.230><c> forth</c><00:25:58.769><c> his</c><00:25:59.130><c> hand,</c><00:25:59.750><c> goes</c><00:26:00.190><c> down</c><00:26:00.549><c> as</c><00:26:00.710><c> far</c><00:26:00.930><c> as</c>

the<00:26:01.089><c> land</c><00:26:01.309><c> of</c><00:26:01.509><c> Egypt.</c>

00:26:01.869 --> 00:26:04.470
We<00:26:01.890><c> know</c><00:26:02.069><c> how</c><00:26:02.329><c> the</c><00:26:02.470><c> Libyans</c><00:26:02.849><c> and</c><00:26:03.089><c> the</c><00:26:03.329><c> Ethiopians,</c><00:26:03.849><c> it</c><00:26:04.109><c> says.</c>

00:26:04.910 --> 00:26:09.049
So<00:26:05.150><c> these</c><00:26:05.730><c> African</c><00:26:06.430><c> powers</c><00:26:07.130><c> are</c><00:26:08.230><c> at</c><00:26:08.430><c> his</c><00:26:08.710><c> steps.</c>

00:26:09.049 --> 00:26:13.769
And<00:26:09.569><c> you</c><00:26:09.690><c> remember</c><00:26:09.890><c> how</c><00:26:10.509><c> also</c><00:26:10.910><c> in</c><00:26:11.109><c> Ezekiel,</c><00:26:12.509><c> Persia</c><00:26:13.089><c> or</c><00:26:13.309><c> Iran,</c>

00:26:14.250 --> 00:26:15.990
and<00:26:14.250><c> I</c><00:26:14.250><c> suppose</c><00:26:14.549><c> ancient</c><00:26:15.390><c> Persia</c><00:26:15.789><c> would</c>

00:26:15.990 --> 00:26:21.509

00:26:22.250 --> 00:26:24.509
So<00:26:22.450><c> that's</c><00:26:22.849><c> taking</c><00:26:23.250><c> place.</c>

00:26:25.009 --> 00:26:31.190

00:28:11.990 --> 00:28:15.490
I<00:28:12.150><c> think</c><00:28:12.390><c> he</c><00:28:12.750><c> makes</c><00:28:13.009><c> the</c><00:28:13.250><c> point,</c><00:28:13.710><c> too,</c><00:28:13.849><c> that</c><00:28:14.430><c> they</c><00:28:14.930><c> should</c><00:28:15.190><c> not</c>

in<00:29:42.289><c> measure</c><00:29:42.609><c> and</c><00:29:42.809><c> will</c><00:29:43.069><c> not</c><00:29:43.349><c> leave</c><00:29:43.569><c> thee</c><00:29:43.809><c> altogether</c><00:29:44.410><c> unpunished.</c>

00:29:45.250 --> 00:29:50.269
So<00:29:46.009><c> I</c><00:29:46.109><c> don't</c><00:29:46.450><c> think</c><00:29:46.609><c> that</c><00:29:46.789><c> is</c><00:29:47.029><c> simply</c><00:29:47.450><c> referring</c><00:29:48.069><c> to</c><00:29:48.509><c> the</c><00:29:48.769><c> Holocaust</c><00:29:49.369><c> and</c>

00:29:57.309 --> 00:29:57.890
it<00:29:57.430><c> he</c><00:29:57.490><c> should</c><00:29:57.609><c> be</c><00:29:57.809><c> saved.</c>

00:29:57.990 --> 00:30:01.269
There<00:29:58.049><c> is</c><00:29:58.309><c> a</c><00:29:58.430><c> sense,</c><00:29:58.589><c> of</c><00:29:58.769><c> course,</c><00:29:58.930><c> of</c><00:29:59.029><c> which</c><00:29:59.289><c> out</c><00:29:59.549><c> of</c><00:29:59.710><c> the</c><00:29:59.890><c> Holocaust</c><00:30:00.430><c> the</c>

nation<00:30:01.630><c> of</c><00:30:01.769><c> Israel</c><00:30:02.349><c> were</c><00:30:02.670><c> able</c>

Israel<00:30:07.190><c> as</c><00:30:07.349><c> we</c><00:30:07.569><c> know</c><00:30:07.750><c> it.</c>

00:30:08.150 --> 00:30:12.230
But<00:30:08.569><c> in</c><00:30:09.250><c> the</c><00:30:09.589><c> deeper</c><00:30:09.910><c> sense</c><00:30:10.269><c> of</c><00:30:10.490><c> being</c><00:30:10.789><c> saved,</c><00:30:11.730><c> we</c><00:30:11.789><c> know</c><00:30:12.109><c> that</c>

they<00:30:12.630><c> are</c><00:30:13.089><c> some</c><00:30:13.410><c> way</c><00:30:13.910><c> from</c><00:30:14.450><c> being</c><00:30:15.049><c> saved.</c>

00:30:16.029 --> 00:30:24.190
And<00:30:16.069><c> we</c><00:30:16.150><c> know</c><00:30:16.470><c> too</c><00:30:18.049><c> that</c><00:30:19.869><c> part</c><00:30:20.170><c> of</c><00:30:20.369><c> that</c><00:30:20.670><c> being</c><00:30:21.009><c> saved</c><00:30:21.690><c> is</c><00:30:22.250><c> their</c><00:30:22.529><c> recognition</c><00:30:23.369><c> of</c>

00:30:24.190 --> 00:30:25.690
the<00:30:24.349><c> Lord</c><00:30:24.609><c> Jesus</c><00:30:25.109><c> Christ.</c>

00:30:26.190 --> 00:30:31.009
It's<00:30:26.410><c> the</c><00:30:26.589><c> Apostle</c><00:30:27.029><c> Paul</c><00:30:27.369><c> in</c><00:30:27.630><c> Romans</c><00:30:28.049><c> who</c><00:30:28.309><c> quotes</c><00:30:28.990><c> from</c><00:30:30.869><c> the</c>

00:30:49.650 --> 00:30:54.930
So<00:30:50.369><c> what</c><00:30:51.089><c> Paul</c><00:30:51.410><c> is</c><00:30:52.069><c> distinctly</c><00:30:52.710><c> signaling</c><00:30:53.049><c> here</c><00:30:53.509><c> is</c><00:30:53.930><c> that</c><00:30:54.450><c> when</c><00:30:54.809><c> the</c>

00:30:54.930 --> 00:30:56.130

00:30:56.470 --> 00:31:00.150
the<00:30:56.529><c> nation</c><00:30:56.769><c> of</c><00:30:56.970><c> Israel</c><00:30:57.230><c> will</c><00:30:57.589><c> be</c><00:30:57.910><c> in</c><00:30:58.069><c> an</c><00:30:58.450><c> ungodly</c><00:30:59.130><c> state.</c>

00:31:01.009 --> 00:31:04.930

that<00:31:06.910><c> God</c><00:31:07.109><c> having</c><00:31:07.369><c> to</c><00:31:07.690><c> put</c><00:31:07.890><c> his</c><00:31:08.190><c> laws</c><00:31:08.509><c> within</c><00:31:08.789><c> them.</c><00:31:09.829><c> Now</c><00:31:10.170><c> God,</c>

00:31:22.250 --> 00:31:25.170

00:31:56.230 --> 00:31:59.289
By<00:31:56.529><c> and</c><00:31:56.789><c> large,</c><00:31:57.230><c> that</c><00:31:57.269><c> could</c><00:31:57.549><c> not</c><00:31:57.849><c> be</c><00:31:58.069><c> a</c><00:31:58.170><c> description</c><00:31:58.750><c> of</c><00:31:59.190><c> the</c>

00:32:01.990 --> 00:32:04.710
