00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:25.199
You<00:03:20.939><c> can't</c><00:03:21.400><c> read</c><00:03:21.659><c> the</c><00:03:21.800><c> Old</c><00:03:21.979><c> Testament</c><00:03:22.360><c> without</c><00:03:22.680><c> being</c><00:03:23.139><c> continually</c><00:03:23.560><c> conscious</c><00:03:24.020><c> of</c><00:03:24.180><c> Jesus.</c>

00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.599
Well,<00:03:44.719><c> when</c><00:03:44.979><c> Job</c><00:03:45.539><c> justifies</c><00:03:47.280><c> himself,</c>

00:03:55.780 --> 00:03:59.879
But<00:03:56.000><c> we</c><00:03:56.139><c> know</c><00:03:56.439><c> that</c><00:03:56.599><c> what</c><00:03:56.719><c> he</c><00:03:57.000><c> said</c><00:03:57.780><c> wasn't</c><00:03:58.639><c> right</c><00:03:59.520><c> and</c><00:03:59.639><c> he</c><00:03:59.740><c> had</c>

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.419

But<00:09:44.080><c> so</c><00:09:44.320><c> did</c><00:09:44.500><c> Israel</c><00:09:44.840><c> lie</c><00:09:45.100><c> in</c><00:09:45.320><c> wickedness,</c><00:09:45.879><c> and</c><00:09:45.879><c> yet</c><00:09:46.139><c> Jeremiah</c>

00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:48.220

00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.039
Jeremiah<00:09:49.279><c> cared</c><00:09:49.799><c> about</c><00:09:50.279><c> his</c><00:09:50.519><c> wicked</c><00:09:50.899><c> Israel.</c>

00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.799
And<00:09:52.639><c> we</c><00:09:52.799><c> ought</c><00:09:52.960><c> to</c><00:09:53.259><c> care</c><00:09:53.919><c> about</c><00:09:54.779><c> this</c><00:09:55.059><c> wicked</c><00:09:55.340><c> world,</c>

00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:58.980

00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:04.120
consists<00:09:59.600><c> of</c><00:09:59.980><c> people,</c><00:10:01.039><c> people</c><00:10:01.519><c> like</c><00:10:02.080><c> you</c><00:10:02.539><c> and</c><00:10:03.139><c> me.</c>

00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:07.299
People<00:10:04.580><c> with</c><00:10:04.899><c> feelings,</c><00:10:05.559><c> people</c><00:10:05.820><c> with</c><00:10:06.080><c> emotions,</c><00:10:07.039><c> people</c>

00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:14.379
Now<00:10:11.700><c> hearts</c><00:10:12.039><c> should</c><00:10:12.360><c> bleed</c><00:10:12.740><c> for</c><00:10:13.059><c> mankind,</c>

00:10:15.299 --> 00:10:17.279
just<00:10:15.580><c> as</c><00:10:15.720><c> Jeremiah's</c><00:10:16.519><c> bled</c><00:10:16.679><c> for</c><00:10:16.919><c> Israel,</c>

00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.960

kind<00:10:21.120><c> of</c><00:10:21.419><c> a</c><00:10:21.720><c> microcosm,</c>

00:10:23.299 --> 00:10:26.000

00:10:26.620 --> 00:10:29.820
And<00:10:26.779><c> God</c><00:10:26.919><c> didn't</c><00:10:27.100><c> only</c><00:10:27.340><c> love</c><00:10:27.559><c> Israel,</c><00:10:28.080><c> God</c><00:10:28.399><c> so</c><00:10:28.679><c> loved</c><00:10:28.840><c> the</c><00:10:29.139><c> world,</c>

00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.320
that<00:10:30.460><c> he</c><00:10:30.620><c> gave</c><00:10:30.759><c> his</c><00:10:30.960><c> only</c><00:10:31.179><c> begotten</c><00:10:31.580><c> son,</c><00:10:31.779><c> and</c><00:10:31.899><c> that</c><00:10:32.000><c> is</c><00:10:32.159><c> the</c>

00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.899
So<00:10:34.580><c> that</c><00:10:34.659><c> it</c><00:10:34.779><c> is</c><00:10:35.019><c> right</c><00:10:35.379><c> that</c><00:10:35.779><c> we</c><00:10:35.980><c> should</c><00:10:36.159><c> read</c><00:10:36.659><c> Jeremiah's</c><00:10:37.519><c> words</c><00:10:37.700><c> in</c>

00:10:37.899 --> 00:10:38.940
the<00:10:38.039><c> light</c><00:10:38.159><c> of</c><00:10:38.320><c> the</c><00:10:38.419><c> New</c><00:10:38.620><c> Testament,</c>

00:10:38.940 --> 00:10:41.820
where<00:10:39.179><c> the</c><00:10:39.500><c> Gentiles</c><00:10:40.120><c> are</c><00:10:40.360><c> brought</c><00:10:40.500><c> into</c><00:10:40.700><c> the</c><00:10:40.919><c> picture.</c>

00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.759
And<00:10:42.000><c> when</c><00:10:42.139><c> we</c><00:10:42.519><c> read</c><00:10:42.940><c> sad</c><00:10:43.399><c> words</c><00:10:43.919><c> coming</c><00:10:44.519><c> rung</c><00:10:45.139><c> from</c><00:10:45.379><c> the</c><00:10:45.580><c> heart</c>

00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:46.960
of<00:10:46.000><c> Jeremiah,</c>

00:10:47.259 --> 00:10:50.980
we<00:10:47.559><c> should</c><00:10:47.840><c> share</c><00:10:48.259><c> his</c><00:10:48.679><c> mood</c><00:10:49.340><c> toward</c><00:10:49.840><c> Israel.</c>

00:10:51.419 --> 00:10:54.919
Only<00:10:51.779><c> our</c><00:10:52.220><c> mood</c><00:10:52.460><c> should</c><00:10:52.659><c> be</c><00:10:52.899><c> toward</c><00:10:53.139><c> all</c><00:10:53.539><c> mankind.</c>

00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.080
So<00:10:56.600><c> that's</c><00:10:57.100><c> a</c><00:10:57.179><c> very</c><00:10:57.440><c> important</c><00:10:57.879><c> thing</c><00:10:58.360><c> as</c><00:10:58.799><c> we</c><00:10:58.960><c> go</c><00:10:59.139><c> along.</c>

00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:06.059
And<00:11:01.779><c> all</c><00:11:01.940><c> the</c><00:11:02.120><c> time</c><00:11:02.440><c> the</c><00:11:02.679><c> Lord</c><00:11:02.960><c> Jesus</c><00:11:03.460><c> Christ</c><00:11:03.840><c> himself</c><00:11:04.399><c> is</c><00:11:04.700><c> the</c><00:11:05.539><c> crucible,</c>

00:11:06.059 --> 00:11:09.639
the<00:11:06.059><c> crucible</c><00:11:06.120><c> which</c><00:11:06.600><c> transforms</c><00:11:07.639><c> all</c><00:11:08.019><c> experience.</c>

00:11:09.700 --> 00:11:13.960
The<00:11:09.879><c> Old</c><00:11:10.139><c> Testament</c><00:11:10.559><c> is</c><00:11:10.779><c> the</c><00:11:11.039><c> key</c><00:11:11.480><c> to</c><00:11:12.340><c> that</c><00:11:12.860><c> crucible</c><00:11:13.360><c> we</c><00:11:13.720><c> are</c>

00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:15.539
led<00:11:14.220><c> to</c><00:11:14.500><c> Jesus.</c>

00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.299
Now<00:11:16.519><c> the</c><00:11:16.639><c> other</c><00:11:16.799><c> thing</c><00:11:17.059><c> that</c><00:11:17.220><c> I</c><00:11:17.320><c> want</c><00:11:17.419><c> to</c><00:11:17.580><c> say</c><00:11:17.779><c> before</c><00:11:18.059><c> getting</c>

00:11:18.299 --> 00:11:20.179
into<00:11:18.559><c> the</c><00:11:18.759><c> topic</c><00:11:19.259><c> fully,</c>

00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:22.820
I<00:11:20.779><c> thought</c><00:11:20.840><c> it</c><00:11:20.960><c> was</c><00:11:21.080><c> worthwhile</c><00:11:21.399><c> just</c><00:11:21.659><c> making</c><00:11:21.860><c> these</c><00:11:22.159><c> general</c><00:11:22.500><c> points,</c>

00:11:22.940 --> 00:11:24.379
though<00:11:23.019><c> we'll</c><00:11:23.519><c> often</c><00:11:23.759><c> come</c><00:11:24.039><c> back</c><00:11:24.240><c> to</c><00:11:24.240><c> them.</c>

00:11:24.419 --> 00:11:26.480
I'll<00:11:24.539><c> probably</c><00:11:24.700><c> have</c><00:11:24.840><c> that</c><00:11:25.080><c> piece</c><00:11:25.200><c> of</c><00:11:25.360><c> paper</c><00:11:25.580><c> in</c><00:11:25.779><c> front</c><00:11:25.919><c> of</c><00:11:26.080><c> me</c>

00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.200
and<00:11:26.899><c> come</c><00:11:27.240><c> back</c><00:11:27.460><c> to</c><00:11:27.620><c> these</c><00:11:27.840><c> thoughts</c><00:11:28.039><c> from</c><00:11:28.299><c> time</c><00:11:28.519><c> to</c><00:11:28.720><c> time.</c>

00:11:29.700 --> 00:11:32.240
But<00:11:29.940><c> there's</c><00:11:30.039><c> just</c><00:11:30.179><c> one</c><00:11:30.279><c> or</c><00:11:30.320><c> two</c><00:11:30.460><c> other</c><00:11:30.679><c> points</c><00:11:31.259><c> that</c><00:11:31.879><c> I</c><00:11:32.120><c> want</c>

00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:32.899
to<00:11:32.440><c> make,</c>

00:11:32.899 --> 00:11:38.659

00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:40.539
He<00:11:39.039><c> was</c><00:11:39.340><c> a</c><00:11:39.659><c> poet.</c>

00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:45.000
And<00:11:41.340><c> when</c><00:11:41.620><c> you</c><00:11:42.159><c> have</c><00:11:42.519><c> truth</c><00:11:42.919><c> expressed</c><00:11:43.539><c> in</c><00:11:43.919><c> poetry,</c>

00:11:45.019 --> 00:11:50.100
you<00:11:45.259><c> have</c><00:11:45.440><c> it</c><00:11:45.840><c> expressed</c><00:11:46.519><c> in</c><00:11:47.200><c> a</c><00:11:47.399><c> way</c><00:11:47.679><c> where</c><00:11:48.179><c> you</c><00:11:48.580><c> can't</c><00:11:49.360><c> use</c><00:11:49.679><c> it</c>

00:11:50.100 --> 00:11:52.320
with<00:11:50.440><c> lawyer</c><00:11:50.779><c>-like</c><00:11:51.200><c> precision.</c>

00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.659
This<00:11:52.700><c> is</c><00:11:52.820><c> a</c><00:11:52.919><c> mistake</c><00:11:53.220><c> that</c><00:11:53.980><c> theological</c><00:11:54.519><c> people</c><00:11:55.139><c> arguing</c>

00:11:55.659 --> 00:11:56.500
sometimes<00:11:56.279><c> make.</c>

00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.340
They<00:11:56.720><c> take</c><00:11:56.980><c> a</c><00:11:57.159><c> piece</c><00:11:57.320><c> of</c><00:11:57.580><c> divine</c><00:11:58.000><c> poetry</c>

00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.840
and<00:11:59.879><c> they</c><00:12:00.059><c> treat</c><00:12:00.360><c> it</c><00:12:00.539><c> as</c><00:12:00.700><c> if</c><00:12:00.799><c> it</c><00:12:00.879><c> was</c><00:12:01.159><c> legalistic</c><00:12:01.759><c> prose.</c>

00:12:03.179 --> 00:12:04.279

00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.139
Well,<00:12:10.559><c> we</c><00:12:10.679><c> all</c><00:12:10.919><c> know</c><00:12:11.039><c> just</c><00:12:11.279><c> what</c><00:12:11.440><c> that</c><00:12:11.700><c> means.</c>

00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:13.919
It's<00:12:12.679><c> the</c><00:12:12.759><c> same</c><00:12:12.879><c> with</c><00:12:13.019><c> the</c><00:12:13.139><c> book</c><00:12:13.220><c> of</c><00:12:13.440><c> Revelation.</c>

00:12:17.419 --> 00:12:20.659
because<00:12:18.179><c> we</c><00:12:18.460><c> haven't</c><00:12:18.899><c> recognized</c><00:12:19.480><c> sufficiently</c><00:12:20.039><c> that</c><00:12:20.259><c> it</c><00:12:20.440><c> is</c>

To<00:12:23.899><c> recognize</c><00:12:24.320><c> that</c><00:12:24.600><c> from</c><00:12:24.799><c> time</c><00:12:25.000><c> to</c><00:12:25.200><c> time,</c>

00:12:25.419 --> 00:12:26.879
we'll<00:12:25.639><c> need</c><00:12:25.740><c> to</c><00:12:25.860><c> come</c><00:12:26.039><c> back</c><00:12:26.179><c> to</c><00:12:26.360><c> that</c><00:12:26.600><c> point.</c>

00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.960
And<00:12:27.639><c> as</c><00:12:27.799><c> I</c><00:12:27.980><c> say,</c><00:12:28.240><c> be</c><00:12:28.379><c> prepared</c><00:12:28.720><c> to</c><00:12:28.960><c> find</c><00:12:29.120><c> that</c><00:12:29.340><c> Jeremiah</c><00:12:29.720><c> said</c>

00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:31.659
some<00:12:30.220><c> wrong</c><00:12:30.480><c> things.</c>

00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:37.740
And<00:12:32.799><c> part</c><00:12:32.919><c> of</c><00:12:33.100><c> our</c><00:12:33.379><c> test</c><00:12:33.860><c> as</c><00:12:34.519><c> we</c><00:12:34.779><c> study</c><00:12:35.100><c> is</c><00:12:35.559><c> to</c><00:12:36.019><c> be</c><00:12:36.200><c> thinking</c><00:12:36.419><c> around</c><00:12:36.779><c> it</c>

00:12:38.419 --> 00:12:41.600
and<00:12:38.899><c> be</c><00:12:39.379><c> sympathetic</c><00:12:40.179><c> to</c><00:12:40.539><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:12:42.580 --> 00:12:45.100
In<00:12:42.779><c> other</c><00:12:42.879><c> words,</c><00:12:43.379><c> when</c><00:12:43.580><c> Jeremiah</c><00:12:44.039><c> does</c><00:12:44.360><c> say</c><00:12:44.600><c> something</c><00:12:44.899><c> wrong,</c>

00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:46.879
say,<00:12:45.559><c> oh,</c><00:12:45.580><c> well,</c><00:12:45.700><c> we</c><00:12:45.840><c> know</c><00:12:46.000><c> better</c><00:12:46.220><c> than</c><00:12:46.460><c> him.</c>

00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:51.100
If<00:12:47.559><c> we</c><00:12:47.779><c> know</c><00:12:47.960><c> better</c><00:12:48.179><c> than</c><00:12:48.379><c> him,</c><00:12:48.500><c> it's</c><00:12:48.799><c> because</c><00:12:49.139><c> his</c><00:12:49.539><c> life</c><00:12:49.759><c> is</c><00:12:50.120><c> recorded.</c>

00:12:51.539 --> 00:12:53.399
And<00:12:52.019><c> it's</c><00:12:52.399><c> quite</c><00:12:52.539><c> a</c><00:12:52.740><c> wonderful</c><00:12:52.919><c> thing,</c><00:12:53.139><c> I</c><00:12:53.279><c> think,</c>

00:12:53.399 --> 00:13:00.000
as<00:12:53.559><c> we</c><00:12:53.740><c> try</c><00:12:53.940><c> to</c><00:12:55.779><c> explore</c><00:12:56.740><c> the</c><00:12:57.559><c> labyrinths</c><00:12:58.120><c> of</c><00:12:58.360><c> another</c><00:12:58.559><c> human</c><00:12:58.919><c> mind.</c>

00:13:00.580 --> 00:13:05.159
Now,<00:13:00.840><c> because</c><00:13:01.139><c> Jeremiah</c><00:13:01.740><c> stands</c><00:13:02.279><c> in</c><00:13:02.519><c> the</c><00:13:02.799><c> collapse</c><00:13:03.139><c> of</c><00:13:03.379><c> this</c><00:13:03.740><c> age</c>

00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.299
where<00:13:06.200><c> Judah's</c><00:13:06.700><c> kingdom</c><00:13:06.960><c> was</c><00:13:07.179><c> going</c><00:13:07.279><c> to</c><00:13:07.500><c> be</c><00:13:08.039><c> destroyed,</c>

00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:14.100
I<00:13:09.720><c> think</c><00:13:10.100><c> we</c><00:13:10.460><c> can</c><00:13:10.759><c> say</c><00:13:11.139><c> that</c><00:13:11.360><c> the</c><00:13:11.620><c> future</c><00:13:12.120><c> of</c><00:13:13.139><c> God's</c><00:13:13.600><c> religion</c>

00:13:14.100 --> 00:13:17.320
and<00:13:15.120><c> therefore</c><00:13:15.559><c> the</c><00:13:16.100><c> future</c><00:13:16.379><c> of</c><00:13:16.620><c> Christianity</c>

00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:30.139
Baruch<00:13:28.620><c> was</c><00:13:28.840><c> his</c><00:13:29.080><c> short</c><00:13:29.320><c>-hand</c><00:13:29.539><c> typist.</c>

00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:31.559
Well,<00:13:30.539><c> that's</c><00:13:30.700><c> what</c><00:13:30.799><c> he'd</c><00:13:30.980><c> have</c><00:13:31.059><c> been</c><00:13:31.179><c> today.</c>

00:13:31.740 --> 00:13:34.919
He<00:13:31.740><c> was</c><00:13:32.419><c> a</c><00:13:33.019><c> menuensis,</c><00:13:33.799><c> I</c><00:13:33.919><c> think</c><00:13:34.159><c> is</c><00:13:34.320><c> the</c><00:13:34.500><c> word</c><00:13:34.700><c> used.</c>

00:13:34.940 --> 00:13:38.080
He<00:13:35.179><c> used</c><00:13:35.279><c> to</c><00:13:35.460><c> write</c><00:13:35.580><c> it</c><00:13:35.779><c> down</c><00:13:36.019><c> when</c><00:13:36.659><c> Jeremiah</c><00:13:37.320><c> said</c><00:13:37.559><c> it</c><00:13:37.779><c> all</c>

00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:39.659
and<00:13:38.440><c> then</c><00:13:38.559><c> he'd</c><00:13:38.779><c> write</c><00:13:38.860><c> it</c><00:13:39.100><c> out</c><00:13:39.259><c> neatly</c>

00:13:43.899 --> 00:13:46.820
Jeremiah<00:13:44.379><c> and</c><00:13:44.820><c> Baruch</c><00:13:45.720><c> stood</c><00:13:46.139><c> alone</c>

00:13:46.820 --> 00:13:52.820

00:14:41.179 --> 00:14:45.039
And<00:14:42.200><c> all</c><00:14:43.899><c> we're</c><00:14:44.120><c> going</c><00:14:44.120><c> to</c><00:14:44.240><c> do</c><00:14:44.340><c> now</c>

00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.940
is<00:14:45.700><c> really</c><00:14:46.259><c> just</c><00:14:46.740><c> get</c><00:14:47.039><c> our</c><00:14:47.779><c> bearings.</c>

00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:51.899
You<00:14:50.840><c> could</c><00:14:51.019><c> say</c><00:14:51.259><c> in</c><00:14:51.480><c> a</c><00:14:51.620><c> sense</c>

00:14:51.899 --> 00:14:54.039
that<00:14:52.080><c> this</c><00:14:52.279><c> is</c><00:14:52.460><c> not</c><00:14:52.580><c> going</c><00:14:52.740><c> to</c><00:14:52.879><c> be</c><00:14:52.960><c> the</c><00:14:53.120><c> most</c><00:14:53.379><c> interesting</c><00:14:53.840><c> of</c>

00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:55.179
the<00:14:54.240><c> talks,</c>

00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:56.960
but<00:14:55.740><c> without</c><00:14:56.159><c> this</c><00:14:56.559><c> talk,</c>

00:14:57.460 --> 00:15:00.159
we<00:14:57.580><c> shan't</c><00:14:57.840><c> be</c><00:14:58.059><c> able</c><00:14:58.240><c> to</c><00:14:58.519><c> sort</c><00:14:58.620><c> our</c><00:14:58.919><c> way</c><00:14:59.159><c> through.</c>

00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:04.159
Jeremiah<00:15:01.860><c> was</c><00:15:02.460><c> born</c><00:15:03.100><c> in</c><00:15:03.720><c> the</c><00:15:03.879><c> year</c>

00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:07.960
approximately<00:15:04.840><c> 642</c><00:15:05.919><c> years</c><00:15:06.419><c> before</c><00:15:06.860><c> Christ.</c>

00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:11.139
He<00:15:09.120><c> was</c><00:15:09.460><c> called</c><00:15:09.759><c> to</c><00:15:09.940><c> the</c><00:15:10.179><c> ministry,</c>

00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:13.360
while<00:15:11.740><c> quite</c><00:15:12.019><c> a</c><00:15:12.200><c> young</c><00:15:12.320><c> man,</c>

00:15:13.620 --> 00:15:17.759
in<00:15:13.779><c> the</c><00:15:13.980><c> year</c><00:15:14.340><c> approximately</c><00:15:15.320><c> 626.</c>

00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.279
Now<00:15:18.340><c> that's</c><00:15:18.740><c> really</c><00:15:19.059><c> quite</c><00:15:19.299><c> young,</c><00:15:19.559><c> isn't</c><00:15:19.700><c> it?</c>

00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.879
What's<00:15:20.840><c> it</c><00:15:20.980><c> make,</c><00:15:21.259><c> 6</c><00:15:21.500><c> from</c><00:15:21.639><c> 12</c><00:15:21.940><c> is</c><00:15:22.419><c> 16,</c><00:15:23.659><c> isn't</c><00:15:23.919><c> it?</c>

00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:26.759
It<00:15:25.399><c> really</c><00:15:25.639><c> is</c><00:15:25.840><c> young.</c>

00:15:27.139 --> 00:15:28.940
That's<00:15:27.279><c> when</c><00:15:27.379><c> he's</c><00:15:27.659><c> first</c><00:15:27.940><c> called</c><00:15:28.179><c> and</c><00:15:28.360><c> he</c><00:15:28.659><c> says,</c>

00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:30.279
look,<00:15:29.240><c> I'm</c><00:15:29.519><c> too</c><00:15:29.759><c> young</c><00:15:29.919><c> for</c><00:15:30.159><c> this.</c>

00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:32.779
You<00:15:30.399><c> can</c><00:15:30.600><c> understand</c><00:15:30.919><c> him</c><00:15:31.120><c> saying</c><00:15:31.320><c> it,</c><00:15:31.539><c> can't</c><00:15:31.820><c> you?</c>

00:15:33.539 --> 00:15:36.779
And<00:15:33.980><c> he</c><00:15:34.379><c> was</c><00:15:34.879><c> called</c><00:15:35.519><c> at</c><00:15:36.159><c> a</c><00:15:36.460><c> time</c>

00:15:36.779 --> 00:15:39.220
when<00:15:37.019><c> the</c><00:15:37.240><c> whole</c><00:15:37.419><c> of</c><00:15:37.600><c> the</c><00:15:37.700><c> Middle</c><00:15:37.940><c> East</c>

00:15:39.620 --> 00:15:42.740
was<00:15:39.960><c> in</c><00:15:40.320><c> a</c><00:15:41.639><c> state</c><00:15:41.860><c> of</c><00:15:42.340><c> threat</c>

00:15:42.740 --> 00:15:44.759
from<00:15:43.120><c> a</c><00:15:43.320><c> northern</c><00:15:43.600><c> invader.</c>

00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:47.460
And<00:15:45.320><c> this</c><00:15:45.659><c> northern</c><00:15:46.279><c> invader</c>

00:15:47.460 --> 00:15:49.279
was<00:15:48.080><c> the</c><00:15:48.419><c> Scythians,</c>

00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:51.460
Gog<00:15:49.799><c> of</c><00:15:49.980><c> the</c><00:15:50.159><c> land</c><00:15:50.460><c> of</c><00:15:50.679><c> Magog,</c>

00:15:51.860 --> 00:15:54.100
Rosh,<00:15:52.779><c> Meshach</c><00:15:53.240><c> and</c><00:15:53.639><c> Tubal.</c>

00:15:54.539 --> 00:15:57.220
We've<00:15:54.759><c> all</c><00:15:54.879><c> heard</c><00:15:55.019><c> of</c><00:15:55.159><c> those</c><00:15:55.620><c> from</c><00:15:56.539><c> Ezekiel.</c>

00:15:57.500 --> 00:15:58.580
These<00:15:57.700><c> are</c><00:15:57.860><c> the</c><00:15:58.019><c> Scythians.</c>

00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:00.879
We<00:15:59.059><c> call</c><00:15:59.179><c> them</c><00:15:59.320><c> the</c><00:15:59.500><c> Russians</c><00:15:59.879><c> today.</c>

00:16:00.980 --> 00:16:03.279
And<00:16:01.200><c> they</c><00:16:01.379><c> were</c><00:16:01.559><c> a</c><00:16:01.779><c> barbarian</c><00:16:02.679><c> horde</c>

00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:05.340
who<00:16:03.600><c> came</c><00:16:04.360><c> hurtling</c><00:16:04.960><c> down</c>

00:16:05.340 --> 00:16:08.340
around<00:16:05.600><c> about</c><00:16:05.820><c> the</c><00:16:06.000><c> year</c><00:16:06.539><c> 630</c><00:16:07.759><c> and</c><00:16:07.980><c> onwards</c>

00:16:08.340 --> 00:16:10.700
onto<00:16:08.840><c> the</c><00:16:09.100><c> whole</c><00:16:09.279><c> of</c><00:16:09.460><c> the</c><00:16:09.500><c> Middle</c><00:16:09.679><c> East.</c>

00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.860
They<00:16:11.059><c> even</c><00:16:11.279><c> caused</c><00:16:11.500><c> trouble</c><00:16:11.840><c> to</c><00:16:12.139><c> Assyria.</c>

00:16:13.340 --> 00:16:14.679
And<00:16:13.600><c> it</c><00:16:13.700><c> was</c><00:16:13.879><c> through</c><00:16:14.100><c> that</c><00:16:14.399><c> trouble</c>

00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:18.279
that<00:16:14.919><c> the</c><00:16:15.139><c> Scythians</c><00:16:15.620><c> caused</c><00:16:16.039><c> to</c><00:16:17.440><c> Assyria</c>

00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:20.720
that<00:16:19.000><c> Assyria</c><00:16:19.559><c> really</c><00:16:19.860><c> went</c><00:16:20.000><c> out</c><00:16:20.220><c> of</c><00:16:20.320><c> the</c><00:16:20.460><c> picture</c>

00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:22.200
and<00:16:20.879><c> Babylon</c><00:16:21.279><c> came</c><00:16:21.740><c> in.</c>

00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.320
And<00:16:22.879><c> they</c><00:16:23.019><c> came</c><00:16:23.179><c> right</c><00:16:23.500><c> down</c><00:16:23.740><c> the</c><00:16:23.940><c> seacoast</c><00:16:24.480><c> of</c><00:16:24.679><c> Palestine</c>

00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:28.320
and<00:16:25.860><c> right</c><00:16:26.039><c> to</c><00:16:26.240><c> the</c><00:16:26.379><c> gates</c><00:16:26.679><c> of</c><00:16:27.279><c> Egypt.</c>

00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:29.820
And<00:16:28.860><c> all</c><00:16:29.100><c> Jerusalem</c><00:16:29.580><c> said,</c>

00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:31.100
oh<00:16:30.080><c> dear,</c><00:16:30.240><c> they're</c><00:16:30.500><c> coming</c><00:16:30.740><c> here.</c>

00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.419
But<00:16:31.299><c> in</c><00:16:31.559><c> fact,</c><00:16:32.299><c> they</c><00:16:32.500><c> didn't</c><00:16:32.720><c> come</c><00:16:32.960><c> up</c>

00:16:33.419 --> 00:16:35.320
into<00:16:33.600><c> the</c><00:16:33.840><c> hills</c><00:16:34.100><c> of</c><00:16:34.320><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.740
So<00:16:36.220><c> that</c><00:16:36.419><c> was</c><00:16:36.679><c> the</c><00:16:36.899><c> Scythian</c><00:16:37.460><c> invasion.</c>

00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:41.159
And<00:16:39.379><c> Jeremiah</c><00:16:39.820><c> has</c><00:16:40.220><c> a</c><00:16:40.340><c> lot</c><00:16:40.480><c> to</c><00:16:40.840><c> say</c>

00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:43.419
about<00:16:41.820><c> the</c><00:16:42.159><c> Scythian</c><00:16:42.700><c> invasion</c>

00:16:43.419 --> 00:16:46.159
when<00:16:44.019><c> he</c><00:16:44.320><c> talks</c><00:16:44.820><c> in</c><00:16:45.240><c> his</c><00:16:45.500><c> early</c><00:16:45.799><c> chapters</c>

00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:49.159
about<00:16:47.100><c> the</c><00:16:47.460><c> northern</c><00:16:48.000><c> invader.</c>

00:16:49.259 --> 00:16:51.399
It<00:16:49.620><c> was</c><00:16:50.080><c> the</c><00:16:50.940><c> Scythians</c>

00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:53.059
that<00:16:51.539><c> he</c><00:16:51.639><c> was</c><00:16:51.820><c> talking</c><00:16:52.100><c> about.</c>

00:16:53.220 --> 00:16:55.500
In<00:16:53.460><c> fact,</c><00:16:53.740><c> they</c><00:16:53.980><c> didn't</c><00:16:54.360><c> come.</c>

00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.159
And<00:16:56.559><c> people</c><00:16:56.879><c> therefore</c><00:16:57.240><c> said</c><00:16:57.440><c> to</c><00:16:57.679><c> Jeremiah,</c>

00:16:58.299 --> 00:17:02.559
Jeremiah,<00:17:00.080><c> you</c><00:17:00.379><c> said</c><00:17:00.639><c> the</c><00:17:00.960><c> Scythians</c><00:17:01.419><c> were</c><00:17:01.659><c> coming.</c>

00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.519
They<00:17:02.960><c> didn't,</c><00:17:03.440><c> did</c><00:17:03.620><c> they?</c>

00:17:04.900 --> 00:17:06.819
So<00:17:05.059><c> he</c><00:17:05.160><c> was</c><00:17:05.299><c> made</c><00:17:05.460><c> to</c><00:17:05.579><c> look</c><00:17:05.660><c> a</c><00:17:05.759><c> bit</c><00:17:05.940><c> silly.</c>

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:08.660
But<00:17:07.299><c> he</c><00:17:07.359><c> hadn't</c><00:17:07.559><c> actually</c><00:17:07.839><c> said</c><00:17:08.059><c> the</c><00:17:08.319><c> Scythians.</c>

00:17:08.660 --> 00:17:10.700
He'd<00:17:08.980><c> said</c><00:17:09.059><c> the</c><00:17:09.279><c> northern</c><00:17:10.259><c> hosts,</c>

00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:12.259
as<00:17:10.859><c> I'll</c><00:17:11.099><c> show</c><00:17:11.220><c> you</c><00:17:11.339><c> tomorrow.</c>

00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:14.700
He'd<00:17:13.099><c> said</c><00:17:13.119><c> the</c><00:17:13.319><c> northern</c><00:17:13.579><c> hosts.</c>

00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:17.819
And<00:17:16.680><c> so</c><00:17:17.079><c> later</c><00:17:17.359><c> on,</c>

00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:19.500
twenty<00:17:18.079><c> years</c><00:17:18.400><c> later,</c>

00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:21.380
he<00:17:19.880><c> was</c><00:17:20.099><c> able</c><00:17:20.220><c> to</c><00:17:20.440><c> say,</c>

00:17:21.539 --> 00:17:23.079
when<00:17:21.700><c> Babylon</c><00:17:22.099><c> came</c><00:17:22.460><c> down,</c><00:17:22.740><c> there</c><00:17:22.839><c> you</c><00:17:22.980><c> are,</c>

00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:25.019
I<00:17:23.240><c> told</c><00:17:23.440><c> you</c><00:17:23.559><c> the</c><00:17:23.740><c> northern</c><00:17:24.019><c> hosts</c><00:17:24.319><c> would</c><00:17:24.500><c> come</c><00:17:24.740><c> down.</c>

00:17:25.099 --> 00:17:26.539
You<00:17:25.279><c> just</c><00:17:25.500><c> thought</c><00:17:25.619><c> I</c><00:17:25.759><c> meant</c><00:17:25.880><c> the</c><00:17:26.099><c> Scythians.</c>

00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:27.599
I<00:17:26.799><c> didn't</c><00:17:26.980><c> know</c><00:17:27.119><c> what</c><00:17:27.279><c> I</c><00:17:27.460><c> meant</c>

00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:28.839
because<00:17:27.740><c> I</c><00:17:27.880><c> was</c><00:17:28.059><c> speaking</c><00:17:28.299><c> for</c><00:17:28.539><c> God.</c>

00:17:29.099 --> 00:17:30.460
Now<00:17:29.400><c> we</c><00:17:29.519><c> know</c><00:17:29.700><c> what</c><00:17:29.880><c> I</c><00:17:30.140><c> meant.</c>

00:17:30.460 --> 00:17:32.880
Because<00:17:31.099><c> the</c><00:17:31.359><c> Babylonians</c><00:17:32.000><c> came</c><00:17:32.339><c> down.</c>

00:17:33.140 --> 00:17:33.980
Twenty<00:17:33.380><c> years.</c>

00:17:34.420 --> 00:17:35.559
There's<00:17:34.519><c> a</c><00:17:34.640><c> lesson</c><00:17:34.779><c> there</c><00:17:34.980><c> somewhere,</c><00:17:35.440><c> isn't</c><00:17:35.460><c> there?</c>

00:17:35.619 --> 00:17:37.599
When<00:17:35.759><c> we</c><00:17:35.920><c> reckon</c><00:17:36.059><c> we</c><00:17:36.180><c> know</c><00:17:36.339><c> all</c><00:17:36.519><c> about</c><00:17:36.680><c> the</c><00:17:36.880><c> signs</c><00:17:37.039><c> of</c><00:17:37.200><c> the</c><00:17:37.380><c> times</c>

00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:39.119
and<00:17:37.700><c> we've</c><00:17:37.920><c> got</c><00:17:38.019><c> the</c><00:17:38.200><c> answers,</c>

00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:40.900
we<00:17:39.500><c> haven't</c><00:17:39.599><c> always</c><00:17:39.839><c> got</c><00:17:39.980><c> the</c><00:17:40.119><c> right</c><00:17:40.400><c> answers</c>

00:17:40.900 --> 00:17:42.859
because<00:17:41.279><c> the</c><00:17:41.519><c> mills</c><00:17:41.779><c> of</c><00:17:41.859><c> God</c><00:17:42.079><c> grind</c><00:17:42.400><c> slowly</c>

00:17:42.859 --> 00:17:45.240
but<00:17:43.059><c> they</c><00:17:43.440><c> grind</c><00:17:43.660><c> exceeding</c><00:17:44.259><c> shore.</c>

00:17:45.339 --> 00:17:47.180
And<00:17:45.420><c> so</c><00:17:45.640><c> although</c><00:17:46.000><c> Jeremiah</c><00:17:46.420><c> looked</c><00:17:46.640><c> a</c><00:17:46.779><c> bit</c><00:17:46.920><c> silly</c>

00:17:47.180 --> 00:17:49.079
because<00:17:47.460><c> everybody</c><00:17:47.880><c> thought</c><00:17:48.099><c> he</c><00:17:48.279><c> meant</c><00:17:48.400><c> the</c><00:17:48.640><c> Scythians</c>

00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:52.039
when<00:17:49.700><c> he</c><00:17:49.900><c> said</c><00:17:50.039><c> these</c><00:17:50.339><c> northern</c><00:17:50.839><c> armies</c><00:17:51.259><c> were</c><00:17:51.440><c> coming</c><00:17:51.700><c> down,</c>

00:17:52.299 --> 00:17:54.079
in<00:17:52.559><c> fact,</c><00:17:52.980><c> it</c><00:17:53.160><c> was</c><00:17:53.279><c> the</c><00:17:53.519><c> Babylonians</c>

00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:55.539
and<00:17:54.160><c> that</c><00:17:54.359><c> was</c><00:17:54.779><c> twenty</c><00:17:55.019><c> years</c><00:17:55.299><c> later.</c>

00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:56.500
So<00:17:55.779><c> bear</c><00:17:55.839><c> that</c><00:17:56.039><c> in</c><00:17:56.259><c> mind</c>

00:17:56.500 --> 00:18:00.019
because<00:17:56.980><c> this</c><00:17:57.359><c> is</c><00:17:57.539><c> what</c><00:17:58.279><c> gave</c><00:17:58.619><c> him</c><00:17:58.779><c> such</c><00:17:58.940><c> a</c><00:17:59.099><c> bad</c><00:17:59.259><c> reputation</c>

00:18:00.019 --> 00:18:01.920
and<00:18:00.940><c> so</c><00:18:01.240><c> upset</c><00:18:01.720><c> him</c>

00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:03.200
when<00:18:02.099><c> the</c><00:18:02.339><c> people</c><00:18:02.599><c> he</c><00:18:02.960><c> loved</c>

00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.059
showed<00:18:03.640><c> such</c><00:18:03.960><c> an</c><00:18:04.460><c> unhappy</c><00:18:04.799><c> attitude</c><00:18:05.380><c> to</c><00:18:05.599><c> him.</c>

00:18:06.259 --> 00:18:10.700
So<00:18:06.480><c> there</c><00:18:06.619><c> he</c><00:18:06.799><c> was</c><00:18:07.220><c> in</c><00:18:07.680><c> this</c><00:18:08.339><c> collapsing</c><00:18:09.220><c> civilization.</c>

00:18:12.259 --> 00:18:14.799
And<00:18:12.440><c> on</c><00:18:13.339><c> the</c><00:18:13.779><c> sheet</c><00:18:14.119><c> which</c><00:18:14.539><c> says</c>

00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:17.599
possible<00:18:15.420><c> order</c><00:18:15.880><c> of</c><00:18:16.079><c> the</c><00:18:16.200><c> book</c><00:18:16.359><c> of</c><00:18:16.599><c> Jeremiah,</c>

00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:21.839
you've<00:18:18.640><c> got</c><00:18:19.119><c> an</c><00:18:20.680><c> approximate</c><00:18:21.200><c> list</c>

00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:25.039
of<00:18:22.339><c> the</c><00:18:22.640><c> right</c><00:18:22.960><c> order</c><00:18:23.339><c> of</c><00:18:23.519><c> the</c><00:18:23.640><c> book</c><00:18:23.819><c> of</c><00:18:24.079><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:18:25.259 --> 00:18:28.119
Now<00:18:25.460><c> that</c><00:18:25.660><c> I'm</c><00:18:25.900><c> going</c><00:18:26.039><c> to</c><00:18:26.400><c> explain,</c><00:18:26.740><c> that's</c><00:18:27.099><c> a</c><00:18:27.240><c> problem.</c>

00:18:28.259 --> 00:18:31.460
You<00:18:28.740><c> see,</c><00:18:29.920><c> if</c><00:18:30.059><c> there's</c><00:18:30.319><c> any</c><00:18:30.680><c> book</c><00:18:30.880><c> of</c><00:18:31.039><c> the</c><00:18:31.220><c> Bible</c>

00:18:31.460 --> 00:18:32.380
that's<00:18:31.720><c> in</c><00:18:31.819><c> the</c><00:18:31.980><c> wrong</c><00:18:32.140><c> order,</c>

00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:33.880
it's<00:18:32.599><c> the</c><00:18:32.660><c> book</c><00:18:32.799><c> of</c><00:18:33.000><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:18:34.019 --> 00:18:35.480
It's<00:18:34.500><c> hopeless.</c>

00:18:36.140 --> 00:18:37.859
But<00:18:36.299><c> I'll</c><00:18:36.519><c> tell</c><00:18:36.599><c> a</c><00:18:36.680><c> little</c><00:18:36.960><c> story</c><00:18:37.259><c> about</c><00:18:37.579><c> it</c>

00:18:37.859 --> 00:18:40.400
which<00:18:38.259><c> perhaps</c><00:18:38.920><c> if</c><00:18:39.079><c> in</c><00:18:39.160><c> the</c><00:18:39.339><c> kingdom</c><00:18:39.579><c> we</c><00:18:39.779><c> meet</c><00:18:39.980><c> Baruch</c>

00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.700
we'll<00:18:40.619><c> be</c><00:18:40.720><c> able</c><00:18:40.839><c> to</c><00:18:41.059><c> find</c><00:18:41.279><c> out</c><00:18:41.539><c> whether</c><00:18:41.700><c> my</c><00:18:42.019><c> theory</c><00:18:42.259><c> is</c><00:18:42.440><c> right.</c>

00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:44.859
But<00:18:43.380><c> I</c><00:18:43.559><c> guess</c><00:18:43.759><c> to</c><00:18:43.940><c> get</c><00:18:44.140><c> the</c><00:18:44.400><c> feeling</c>

00:18:44.859 --> 00:18:48.599
that<00:18:45.440><c> Baruch</c><00:18:45.819><c> had</c><00:18:46.059><c> been</c><00:18:46.380><c> putting</c><00:18:46.920><c> all</c><00:18:47.279><c> the</c><00:18:47.940><c> sheets</c><00:18:48.160><c> together,</c>

00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:50.779
collating<00:18:49.200><c> them,</c><00:18:49.400><c> I</c><00:18:49.460><c> think</c><00:18:49.720><c> Donald</c><00:18:50.099><c> calls</c><00:18:50.420><c> it,</c>

00:18:51.180 --> 00:18:53.740
he<00:18:51.279><c> used</c><00:18:51.400><c> that</c><00:18:51.660><c> word</c><00:18:51.799><c> to</c><00:18:52.000><c> me</c><00:18:52.140><c> last</c><00:18:52.400><c> night,</c><00:18:52.660><c> anyway,</c>

00:18:53.980 --> 00:18:56.339
and<00:18:54.460><c> he'd</c><00:18:54.759><c> been</c><00:18:54.940><c> collating</c><00:18:55.400><c> all</c><00:18:55.700><c> these</c><00:18:55.980><c> sheets</c>

00:18:56.339 --> 00:18:57.200
that<00:18:56.500><c> he'd</c><00:18:56.799><c> written</c><00:18:56.960><c> on</c>

00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:59.319
of<00:18:57.400><c> all</c><00:18:57.539><c> various</c><00:18:57.920><c> Jeremiah's</c><00:18:58.799><c> experiences</c>

00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:01.339
and<00:18:59.660><c> prophecies</c><00:19:00.079><c> and</c><00:19:00.299><c> so</c><00:19:00.480><c> on.</c>

00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:03.799
And<00:19:01.920><c> he</c><00:19:02.319><c> put</c><00:19:02.440><c> them</c><00:19:02.579><c> all</c><00:19:02.700><c> on</c><00:19:02.900><c> the</c><00:19:03.099><c> table</c><00:19:03.420><c> there</c>

00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:04.980
in<00:19:04.119><c> the</c><00:19:04.339><c> right</c><00:19:04.579><c> order,</c>

00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:07.480
and<00:19:05.539><c> then</c><00:19:05.619><c> he</c><00:19:05.759><c> went</c><00:19:05.839><c> out</c><00:19:06.200><c> to</c><00:19:06.400><c> see</c><00:19:06.599><c> somebody</c><00:19:06.920><c> or</c><00:19:07.140><c> something</c>

00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.000
and<00:19:08.200><c> left</c><00:19:08.359><c> the</c><00:19:08.579><c> door</c><00:19:08.740><c> open</c><00:19:08.980><c> and</c><00:19:09.140><c> a</c><00:19:09.279><c> wind</c><00:19:09.460><c> came.</c>

00:19:10.460 --> 00:19:12.079
And<00:19:10.619><c> it</c><00:19:10.839><c> blew</c><00:19:11.019><c> them</c><00:19:11.160><c> all</c><00:19:11.299><c> over</c><00:19:11.500><c> the</c><00:19:11.740><c> place.</c>

00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:13.480
He<00:19:12.319><c> comes</c><00:19:12.619><c> and</c><00:19:12.720><c> says,</c><00:19:12.779><c> oh</c><00:19:13.019><c> dear,</c><00:19:13.220><c> oh</c><00:19:13.400><c> dear,</c>

00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:15.160
and<00:19:13.619><c> I've</c><00:19:13.819><c> just</c><00:19:14.039><c> got</c><00:19:14.180><c> those</c><00:19:14.319><c> in</c><00:19:14.420><c> the</c><00:19:14.599><c> right</c><00:19:14.819><c> order.</c>

00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:17.700
The<00:19:15.700><c> trouble</c><00:19:15.880><c> is</c><00:19:16.059><c> I</c><00:19:16.099><c> can't</c><00:19:16.400><c> remember</c><00:19:16.680><c> the</c><00:19:16.900><c> right</c><00:19:17.119><c> order</c><00:19:17.339><c> now.</c>

00:19:18.019 --> 00:19:21.500

00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:24.240
and<00:19:22.859><c> that's</c><00:19:23.279><c> how</c><00:19:23.519><c> the</c><00:19:23.619><c> book</c><00:19:23.740><c> of</c><00:19:23.920><c> Jeremiah</c>

00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:25.460
got<00:19:24.420><c> in</c><00:19:24.579><c> the</c><00:19:24.759><c> order</c><00:19:24.940><c> it</c><00:19:25.180><c> was.</c>

00:19:25.460 --> 00:19:26.940
Well,<00:19:25.680><c> I</c><00:19:25.759><c> wouldn't</c><00:19:26.079><c> know.</c>

00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:28.259
But<00:19:27.180><c> it's</c><00:19:27.380><c> like</c><00:19:27.700><c> that.</c>

00:19:28.700 --> 00:19:30.839
And<00:19:29.140><c> that</c><00:19:29.319><c> wouldn't</c><00:19:29.460><c> be</c><00:19:29.640><c> against</c><00:19:29.900><c> inspiration,</c><00:19:30.519><c> you</c><00:19:30.720><c> see,</c>

00:19:30.940 --> 00:19:33.339
because<00:19:31.140><c> God</c><00:19:31.319><c> hasn't</c><00:19:32.119><c> arranged</c>

00:19:33.339 --> 00:19:35.359
to<00:19:33.859><c> give</c><00:19:33.980><c> us</c><00:19:34.180><c> books</c><00:19:34.359><c> in</c><00:19:34.519><c> the</c><00:19:34.660><c> right</c><00:19:34.880><c> order.</c>

00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:36.900
Neither<00:19:36.039><c> has</c><00:19:36.220><c> he</c><00:19:36.359><c> always</c><00:19:36.619><c> arranged</c>

00:19:36.900 --> 00:19:38.940
to<00:19:37.119><c> tell</c><00:19:37.220><c> us</c><00:19:37.460><c> who</c><00:19:37.799><c> wrote</c><00:19:38.039><c> them.</c>

00:19:39.099 --> 00:19:41.380
For<00:19:39.359><c> example,</c><00:19:39.839><c> the</c><00:19:39.920><c> Epistle</c><00:19:40.079><c> to</c><00:19:40.240><c> the</c><00:19:40.359><c> Hebrews,</c>

00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:44.619
somebody<00:19:43.160><c> asked</c><00:19:43.539><c> once</c><00:19:43.900><c> who</c><00:19:44.140><c> wrote</c><00:19:44.440><c> it,</c>

00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:46.900
and<00:19:44.799><c> somebody</c><00:19:45.000><c> else</c><00:19:45.220><c> said</c><00:19:45.299><c> God</c><00:19:45.539><c> only</c><00:19:45.920><c> knows.</c>

00:19:47.140 --> 00:19:49.539
Because<00:19:47.480><c> we</c><00:19:47.619><c> always</c><00:19:48.099><c> say,</c><00:19:48.599><c> because</c><00:19:48.720><c> our</c><00:19:48.940><c> Bible</c><00:19:49.200><c> says,</c>

00:19:49.539 --> 00:19:50.859
the<00:19:49.700><c> Epistle</c><00:19:49.960><c> of</c><00:19:50.160><c> Paul</c><00:19:50.299><c> to</c><00:19:50.460><c> the</c><00:19:50.579><c> Hebrews,</c>

00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:53.099
but<00:19:51.059><c> I</c><00:19:51.059><c> think</c><00:19:51.180><c> most</c><00:19:51.380><c> of</c><00:19:51.460><c> us</c><00:19:51.539><c> realize</c><00:19:52.019><c> that</c><00:19:52.259><c> it's</c>

00:19:53.099 --> 00:19:55.400
probably<00:19:53.339><c> unlikely</c><00:19:53.880><c> that</c><00:19:54.140><c> Paul</c><00:19:54.319><c> wrote</c><00:19:54.700><c> it,</c>

00:19:55.460 --> 00:19:57.099
and<00:19:55.460><c> there's</c><00:19:55.460><c> some</c><00:19:55.599><c> influence</c><00:19:56.019><c> on</c><00:19:56.200><c> it,</c><00:19:56.279><c> but</c><00:19:56.359><c> it</c><00:19:56.480><c> doesn't</c><00:19:56.640><c> matter.</c>

00:19:57.380 --> 00:19:58.940
God<00:19:57.559><c> wanted</c><00:19:57.859><c> that</c><00:19:58.140><c> Epistle</c><00:19:58.420><c> to</c><00:19:58.559><c> be</c><00:19:58.759><c> sent,</c>

00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:00.400
and<00:19:59.079><c> it's</c><00:19:59.220><c> a</c><00:19:59.279><c> very</c><00:19:59.500><c> important</c><00:20:00.000><c> Epistle.</c>

00:20:00.740 --> 00:20:01.799
So<00:20:00.880><c> it</c><00:20:00.960><c> is</c><00:20:01.079><c> with</c><00:20:01.259><c> the</c><00:20:01.480><c> Psalms.</c>

00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.740
We<00:20:01.900><c> know</c><00:20:02.119><c> that</c><00:20:02.279><c> only</c><00:20:02.460><c> a</c><00:20:03.359><c> minority</c><00:20:03.940><c> of</c><00:20:04.180><c> the</c><00:20:04.400><c> Psalms</c>

00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:05.980
probably<00:20:05.079><c> are</c><00:20:05.220><c> written</c><00:20:05.339><c> by</c><00:20:05.599><c> David.</c>

00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:10.059
So<00:20:06.220><c> God</c><00:20:06.359><c> hasn't</c><00:20:06.660><c> arranged</c><00:20:07.279><c> for</c><00:20:08.039><c> things</c><00:20:08.259><c> like</c><00:20:08.619><c> authorship</c><00:20:09.160><c> and</c><00:20:09.559><c> order,</c>

00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:12.599
to<00:20:10.559><c> be</c><00:20:10.799><c> right,</c><00:20:11.079><c> but</c><00:20:11.200><c> he's</c><00:20:11.500><c> arranged</c><00:20:11.920><c> for</c><00:20:12.140><c> us</c><00:20:12.279><c> to</c><00:20:12.460><c> have</c>

00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:13.819
what<00:20:12.740><c> he</c><00:20:12.920><c> wanted</c><00:20:13.099><c> us</c><00:20:13.319><c> to</c><00:20:13.539><c> have.</c>

00:20:14.259 --> 00:20:16.099
And<00:20:14.460><c> I</c><00:20:14.619><c> reckon</c><00:20:14.779><c> there's</c><00:20:15.019><c> a</c><00:20:15.299><c> challenge</c><00:20:15.660><c> in</c><00:20:15.920><c> things</c>

00:20:16.099 --> 00:20:17.940
being<00:20:16.359><c> in</c><00:20:16.519><c> the</c><00:20:16.680><c> wrong</c><00:20:16.859><c> order,</c>

00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:20.359
because<00:20:18.400><c> it</c><00:20:18.559><c> makes</c><00:20:18.680><c> you</c><00:20:18.859><c> look</c><00:20:18.980><c> at</c><00:20:19.140><c> the</c><00:20:19.519><c> internal</c><00:20:19.859><c> hints.</c>

00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.779
It<00:20:20.579><c> makes</c><00:20:20.839><c> you</c><00:20:21.420><c> engage</c><00:20:21.839><c> in</c><00:20:22.079><c> a</c><00:20:22.339><c> spiritual</c><00:20:22.660><c> detective</c><00:20:23.279><c> work</c>

They're<00:23:46.359><c> not</c><00:23:46.539><c> coming</c><00:23:46.779><c> back</c><00:23:47.140><c> properly.</c>

00:23:52.059 --> 00:23:54.079
For<00:23:52.240><c> today,</c><00:23:52.519><c> I'd</c><00:23:52.660><c> better</c><00:23:52.720><c> use</c><00:23:52.940><c> my</c><00:23:53.119><c> King</c><00:23:53.319><c> James</c><00:23:53.660><c> a</c><00:23:53.859><c> bit,</c>

00:23:54.140 --> 00:23:58.619
because<00:23:54.579><c> I'm</c><00:23:56.259><c> going</c><00:23:56.359><c> to</c><00:23:56.500><c> use</c><00:23:56.640><c> the</c><00:23:57.319><c> Living</c><00:23:57.539><c> Bible</c><00:23:57.940><c> paraphrase</c>

00:24:00.940 --> 00:24:02.319
so<00:24:01.039><c> that</c><00:24:01.079><c> you</c><00:24:01.200><c> get</c><00:24:01.339><c> the</c><00:24:01.579><c> feel</c><00:24:01.759><c> of</c><00:24:02.000><c> things.</c>

00:24:02.740 --> 00:24:05.519

00:24:20.339 --> 00:24:23.519
Let's<00:24:20.779><c> go</c><00:24:21.000><c> to</c><00:24:21.140><c> verse</c><00:24:21.259><c> 8,</c><00:24:21.660><c> chapter</c><00:24:21.900><c> 3,</c><00:24:22.359><c> verse</c><00:24:22.440><c> 8.</c>

00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:26.859
I<00:24:24.839><c> might</c><00:24:25.059><c> cross</c><00:24:25.339><c>-reference</c><00:24:25.680><c> to</c><00:24:25.859><c> here</c><00:24:25.960><c> if</c><00:24:26.119><c> I</c><00:24:26.180><c> think</c><00:24:26.359><c> it</c><00:24:26.559><c> comes</c>

00:24:26.859 --> 00:24:28.539
over<00:24:27.180><c> well.</c>

00:24:33.180 --> 00:24:37.660
Yeah,<00:24:33.819><c> I</c><00:24:33.880><c> think</c><00:24:34.019><c> I</c><00:24:34.140><c> will</c><00:24:34.259><c> have</c><00:24:34.440><c> this</c><00:24:35.039><c> Kenneth</c><00:24:35.500><c> Taylor</c><00:24:35.819><c> version,</c><00:24:36.359><c> verse</c><00:24:36.559><c> 8.</c>

00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:41.740
Yet<00:24:39.319><c> she,</c><00:24:40.099><c> Judah,</c><00:24:40.359><c> took</c><00:24:40.579><c> no</c><00:24:40.880><c> heed,</c>

00:24:41.900 --> 00:24:45.500
even<00:24:42.279><c> though</c><00:24:42.500><c> she</c><00:24:42.759><c> saw</c><00:24:43.039><c> that</c><00:24:43.220><c> I</c><00:24:43.440><c> divorced</c><00:24:43.859><c> faithless</c><00:24:44.460><c> Israel.</c>

00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:50.019
But<00:24:45.819><c> now</c><00:24:46.200><c> Judah</c><00:24:46.660><c> too</c><00:24:47.039><c> has</c><00:24:47.299><c> left</c><00:24:47.599><c> me,</c><00:24:48.140><c> and</c><00:24:48.339><c> given</c><00:24:48.519><c> herself</c><00:24:48.920><c> to</c><00:24:49.240><c> harlotry,</c>

00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:53.019
for<00:24:50.440><c> she</c><00:24:50.619><c> has</c><00:24:50.799><c> gone</c><00:24:51.099><c> to</c><00:24:51.359><c> other</c><00:24:51.599><c> gods</c><00:24:51.920><c> to</c><00:24:52.200><c> worship</c><00:24:52.599><c> them.</c>

00:24:53.460 --> 00:24:55.539
She<00:24:53.839><c> treated</c><00:24:54.140><c> it</c><00:24:54.480><c> all</c><00:24:54.720><c> so</c><00:24:55.079><c> lightly.</c>

00:24:55.980 --> 00:24:58.019
To<00:24:56.319><c> her</c><00:24:56.859><c> it</c><00:24:57.180><c> was</c><00:24:57.579><c> nothing</c><00:24:58.019><c> at</c><00:24:58.019><c> all,</c>

00:24:58.019 --> 00:25:04.259
that<00:24:59.220><c> she</c><00:24:59.779><c> should</c><00:25:00.019><c> worship</c><00:25:00.619><c> idols</c><00:25:01.259><c> made</c><00:25:01.880><c> of</c><00:25:02.099><c> wood</c><00:25:02.519><c> and</c><00:25:03.220><c> stone.</c>

00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:08.359
And<00:25:04.740><c> so</c><00:25:04.900><c> the</c><00:25:05.140><c> land</c><00:25:05.559><c> was</c><00:25:05.960><c> greatly</c><00:25:06.440><c> polluted</c><00:25:07.299><c> and</c><00:25:07.819><c> defiled.</c>

00:25:08.420 --> 00:25:11.599
That<00:25:08.559><c> was</c><00:25:08.779><c> the</c><00:25:08.960><c> situation</c><00:25:09.319><c> that</c><00:25:09.519><c> had</c><00:25:09.759><c> existed</c><00:25:10.019><c> in</c><00:25:10.220><c> the</c><00:25:10.359><c> Manasseh</c><00:25:10.799><c> time.</c>

00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:13.599
Then<00:25:12.039><c> afterwards,</c><00:25:12.880><c> verse</c><00:25:13.059><c> 10,</c>

00:25:14.059 --> 00:25:17.720
this<00:25:14.440><c> faithless</c><00:25:14.980><c> one</c><00:25:15.319><c> returned</c><00:25:16.359><c> to</c><00:25:16.720><c> me.</c>

00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:20.000
This<00:25:18.200><c> is</c><00:25:18.339><c> the</c><00:25:18.460><c> Josiah</c><00:25:18.880><c> Reformation.</c>

00:25:20.059 --> 00:25:23.019
But<00:25:20.319><c> her</c><00:25:20.740><c> sorrow</c><00:25:21.059><c> was</c><00:25:21.359><c> only</c><00:25:21.900><c> faked,</c>

00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:24.640
the<00:25:23.640><c> Lord</c><00:25:23.819><c> God</c><00:25:24.079><c> says.</c>

00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:26.279
Well,<00:25:25.200><c> it</c><00:25:25.279><c> comes</c><00:25:25.500><c> over,</c><00:25:25.900><c> doesn't</c><00:25:26.000><c> it?</c>

00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:28.420
Her<00:25:26.759><c> sorrow</c><00:25:26.980><c> was</c><00:25:27.240><c> only</c><00:25:27.660><c> faked.</c>

00:25:28.819 --> 00:25:29.960
What's<00:25:29.000><c> it</c><00:25:29.119><c> say</c><00:25:29.200><c> in</c><00:25:29.319><c> the</c><00:25:29.440><c> King</c><00:25:29.599><c> James?</c>

00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:32.160
She<00:25:30.500><c> didn't</c><00:25:30.779><c> turn</c><00:25:31.019><c> to</c><00:25:31.180><c> me</c><00:25:31.240><c> with</c><00:25:31.480><c> her</c><00:25:31.700><c> whole</c><00:25:31.920><c> heart,</c>

00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:35.059
but<00:25:32.660><c> feignedly,</c><00:25:34.400><c> said</c><00:25:34.460><c> the</c><00:25:34.700><c> Lord.</c>

00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:38.640
So<00:25:35.700><c> there</c><00:25:35.819><c> was</c><00:25:36.039><c> a,</c><00:25:36.519><c> as</c><00:25:36.599><c> far</c><00:25:36.779><c> as</c><00:25:36.960><c> most</c><00:25:37.220><c> people</c><00:25:37.599><c> were</c><00:25:38.299><c> concerned,</c>

00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:41.279
the<00:25:38.880><c> King</c><00:25:39.140><c> said</c><00:25:39.339><c> you've</c><00:25:39.599><c> got</c><00:25:39.680><c> to</c><00:25:39.900><c> turn,</c><00:25:40.440><c> so</c><00:25:40.619><c> they</c><00:25:40.880><c> turned.</c>

00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:43.460
But<00:25:41.599><c> it</c><00:25:41.660><c> was</c><00:25:41.819><c> only</c><00:25:42.440><c> faked.</c>

00:25:43.539 --> 00:25:45.900
It<00:25:43.880><c> hadn't</c><00:25:44.200><c> gone</c><00:25:44.579><c> to</c><00:25:44.920><c> the</c><00:25:45.359><c> heart.</c>

00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:49.380
Which<00:25:46.319><c> of</c><00:25:46.400><c> course</c><00:25:46.460><c> is</c><00:25:46.599><c> the</c><00:25:46.720><c> whole</c><00:25:46.880><c> message</c><00:25:47.380><c> of</c><00:25:48.359><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:25:49.859 --> 00:25:53.200
And<00:25:50.140><c> so,</c><00:25:51.599><c> the</c><00:25:51.839><c> Reformation</c><00:25:52.279><c> went</c><00:25:52.559><c> on,</c>

00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:58.019
and<00:25:54.079><c> eventually</c><00:25:54.859><c> a</c><00:25:56.500><c> book</c><00:25:56.859><c> was</c><00:25:57.500><c> found,</c>

And<00:26:01.579><c> this</c><00:26:01.900><c> scroll</c><00:26:02.359><c> was</c><00:26:02.660><c> the</c><00:26:02.900><c> scroll</c>

00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:05.460
which<00:26:03.460><c> included</c><00:26:03.819><c> much</c><00:26:04.079><c> of</c><00:26:04.279><c> Deuteronomy.</c>

00:26:06.140 --> 00:26:08.819
The<00:26:06.339><c> King</c><00:26:06.700><c> said,</c><00:26:07.059><c> why</c><00:26:07.299><c> this</c><00:26:07.480><c> is</c><00:26:07.779><c> marvelous.</c>

00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:10.500
Don't<00:26:09.380><c> know</c><00:26:09.380><c> how</c><00:26:09.599><c> long</c><00:26:09.700><c> it</c><00:26:09.779><c> had</c><00:26:09.900><c> been</c><00:26:10.099><c> there,</c>

but<00:26:10.880><c> there</c><00:26:11.039><c> it</c><00:26:11.240><c> was,</c><00:26:11.519><c> this</c><00:26:11.700><c> scroll</c><00:26:11.960><c> of</c><00:26:12.119><c> Deuteronomy,</c>

00:26:12.539 --> 00:26:14.160
they'd<00:26:12.819><c> forgotten</c><00:26:12.980><c> all</c><00:26:13.220><c> about</c><00:26:13.500><c> it.</c>

00:26:14.619 --> 00:26:16.400
When<00:26:14.740><c> he</c><00:26:14.900><c> read</c><00:26:15.059><c> it,</c><00:26:15.200><c> he</c><00:26:15.259><c> said</c><00:26:15.359><c> it</c><00:26:15.500><c> wasn't</c><00:26:15.759><c> so</c><00:26:15.980><c> marvelous,</c>

00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:19.839
because<00:26:16.759><c> it</c><00:26:17.000><c> said</c><00:26:17.200><c> that</c><00:26:18.140><c> Israel</c><00:26:18.559><c> were</c><00:26:18.799><c> in</c><00:26:19.079><c> real</c><00:26:19.359><c> trouble,</c>

00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:22.720
because<00:26:20.319><c> as</c><00:26:20.759><c> they</c><00:26:20.940><c> had</c><00:26:21.119><c> so</c><00:26:21.460><c> far</c><00:26:21.759><c> turned</c><00:26:22.079><c> from</c><00:26:22.339><c> God,</c>

00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:24.200
there<00:26:23.200><c> wasn't</c><00:26:23.259><c> much</c><00:26:23.500><c> hope</c><00:26:23.799><c> for</c><00:26:24.059><c> them.</c>

00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:26.779
That's<00:26:24.380><c> what</c><00:26:24.500><c> it</c><00:26:24.680><c> looked</c><00:26:24.839><c> like</c><00:26:25.059><c> as</c><00:26:25.200><c> he</c><00:26:25.339><c> read</c><00:26:25.500><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:26:26.019><c> 28.</c>

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:29.079
And<00:26:27.099><c> so</c><00:26:27.200><c> the</c><00:26:27.420><c> King</c><00:26:27.640><c> put</c><00:26:27.880><c> aside</c><00:26:28.200><c> all</c><00:26:28.400><c> his</c><00:26:28.599><c> dignity,</c>

00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:38.960
He<00:26:36.940><c> really</c><00:26:37.559><c> rubbed</c><00:26:38.000><c> it</c><00:26:38.180><c> home</c><00:26:38.319><c> to</c><00:26:38.480><c> them</c><00:26:38.680><c> all,</c>

00:26:42.460 --> 00:26:45.559
It<00:26:42.599><c> was</c><00:26:42.759><c> a</c><00:26:43.059><c> great</c><00:26:43.299><c> period</c><00:26:43.759><c> of</c><00:26:43.980><c> spiritual</c><00:26:44.380><c> activity.</c>

00:26:45.940 --> 00:26:48.819

00:26:54.779 --> 00:26:57.819
I<00:26:54.799><c> think</c><00:26:54.940><c> we</c><00:26:55.140><c> read</c><00:26:55.339><c> about</c><00:26:55.660><c> it</c><00:26:55.900><c> in</c><00:26:56.119><c> chapter...</c>

00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:11.240
Well,<00:27:09.180><c> never</c><00:27:09.400><c> mind</c><00:27:09.579><c> which</c><00:27:09.799><c> chapter</c><00:27:10.079><c> it</c><00:27:10.220><c> is.</c>

00:27:13.019 --> 00:27:14.819
I<00:27:13.119><c> must</c><00:27:13.259><c> resist</c><00:27:13.519><c> the</c><00:27:13.660><c> temptation</c><00:27:14.039><c> to</c><00:27:14.200><c> look</c><00:27:14.319><c> into</c><00:27:14.460><c> too</c><00:27:14.640><c> many</c>

00:27:17.500 --> 00:27:21.359
In<00:27:17.920><c> one</c><00:27:18.059><c> of</c><00:27:18.180><c> those</c><00:27:18.859><c> early</c><00:27:19.099><c> chapters,</c><00:27:20.140><c> around</c><00:27:20.140><c> 8,</c><00:27:20.559><c> 9,</c><00:27:20.839><c> 10,</c><00:27:21.039><c> 11,</c>

00:27:21.779 --> 00:27:25.299
he<00:27:22.019><c> goes</c><00:27:22.339><c> round</c><00:27:22.799><c> and</c><00:27:23.059><c> he</c><00:27:23.480><c> says</c><00:27:23.740><c> to</c><00:27:23.960><c> all</c><00:27:24.119><c> the</c><00:27:24.319><c> people,</c>

00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:32.019
So<00:27:27.700><c> Jeremiah</c><00:27:28.099><c> did</c><00:27:28.779><c> join,</c><00:27:29.579><c> oh</c><00:27:29.779><c> yes</c><00:27:29.960><c> it</c><00:27:29.980><c> is,</c><00:27:30.519><c> it's</c><00:27:30.779><c> chapter</c><00:27:31.039><c> 11.</c>

00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:35.720
The<00:27:32.339><c> word</c><00:27:32.660><c> that</c><00:27:32.859><c> came</c><00:27:33.019><c> to</c><00:27:33.220><c> Jeremiah</c><00:27:33.700><c> from</c><00:27:34.039><c> the</c><00:27:34.220><c> Lord</c><00:27:34.700><c> saying,</c>

00:27:36.019 --> 00:27:38.180

00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:42.119
and<00:27:40.680><c> speak</c><00:27:41.039><c> unto</c><00:27:41.220><c> the</c><00:27:41.400><c> men</c><00:27:41.559><c> of</c><00:27:41.799><c> Judah,</c>

and<00:27:42.500><c> to</c><00:27:42.619><c> the</c><00:27:42.779><c> inhabitants</c><00:27:43.160><c> of</c><00:27:43.420><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:45.500
and<00:27:44.519><c> say</c><00:27:44.720><c> thou</c><00:27:44.900><c> unto</c><00:27:45.099><c> them,</c>

00:27:45.500 --> 00:27:48.980
Thus<00:27:46.059><c> saith</c><00:27:46.640><c> the</c><00:27:47.000><c> Lord</c><00:27:47.339><c> God</c><00:27:47.559><c> of</c><00:27:47.680><c> Israel,</c>

00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:53.640
Cursed<00:27:49.420><c> be</c><00:27:49.740><c> the</c><00:27:49.960><c> man</c><00:27:50.180><c> that</c><00:27:50.420><c> obeyeth</c><00:27:50.880><c> not</c><00:27:51.140><c> the</c><00:27:51.319><c> words</c><00:27:51.759><c> of</c><00:27:52.079><c> this</c><00:27:52.660><c> covenant.</c>

00:27:53.740 --> 00:27:56.500
So<00:27:54.000><c> Jeremiah</c><00:27:54.299><c> does</c><00:27:54.779><c> join</c><00:27:55.319><c> in.</c>

00:27:57.099 --> 00:28:00.220
Does<00:27:57.700><c> join</c><00:27:58.019><c> in</c><00:27:58.619><c> trying</c><00:27:58.960><c> to</c><00:27:59.119><c> get</c><00:27:59.259><c> people</c><00:27:59.519><c> to</c><00:27:59.680><c> come</c><00:27:59.839><c> back</c><00:28:00.059><c> to</c>

this<00:28:00.480><c> covenant.</c>

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:06.140
But<00:28:02.299><c> he</c><00:28:02.660><c> just</c><00:28:02.920><c> doesn't</c><00:28:03.180><c> seem</c><00:28:03.359><c> to</c><00:28:03.500><c> be</c><00:28:03.819><c> so</c><00:28:04.119><c> prominent</c><00:28:04.480><c> as</c><00:28:04.779><c> you'd</c><00:28:05.259><c> expect.</c>

00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:08.640
And<00:28:06.680><c> Josiah</c><00:28:07.019><c> must</c><00:28:07.200><c> have</c><00:28:07.319><c> been</c><00:28:07.440><c> a</c><00:28:07.539><c> little</c><00:28:07.700><c> disappointed</c><00:28:08.259><c> to</c><00:28:08.480><c> hear</c>

00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:15.480
Because<00:28:11.240><c> it</c><00:28:11.380><c> wasn't</c><00:28:11.619><c> faked</c><00:28:11.880><c> as</c><00:28:12.119><c> far</c><00:28:12.359><c> as</c><00:28:13.859><c> Josiah</c><00:28:14.759><c> was</c><00:28:15.059><c> concerned.</c>

00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:18.680
But<00:28:15.740><c> as</c><00:28:16.000><c> far</c><00:28:16.119><c> as</c><00:28:16.259><c> most</c><00:28:16.380><c> of</c><00:28:16.519><c> the</c><00:28:16.660><c> people</c><00:28:16.880><c> were</c><00:28:17.119><c> concerned</c><00:28:17.339><c> it</c><00:28:17.579><c> was.</c>

00:28:19.140 --> 00:28:22.119
Well<00:28:19.240><c> then</c><00:28:19.460><c> great</c><00:28:19.680><c> things</c><00:28:19.900><c> were</c><00:28:20.119><c> happening</c><00:28:20.359><c> on</c><00:28:20.539><c> the</c><00:28:20.680><c> political</c><00:28:21.039><c> scene.</c>

00:28:30.700 --> 00:28:34.279
And<00:28:30.920><c> he</c><00:28:31.140><c> decides</c><00:28:31.559><c> he's</c><00:28:31.880><c> going</c><00:28:31.940><c> to</c><00:28:32.079><c> do</c><00:28:32.299><c> battle</c><00:28:32.720><c> with</c><00:28:33.220><c> the</c><00:28:33.420><c> Chaldeans.</c>

00:31:43.700 --> 00:31:48.180
By<00:31:43.980><c> not</c><00:31:44.420><c> paying</c><00:31:44.799><c> wages,</c><00:31:46.299><c> you</c><00:31:46.440><c> are</c><00:31:46.680><c> building</c><00:31:47.079><c> injustice</c><00:31:47.819><c> into</c>

00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:57.680
You<00:31:53.819><c> say,</c><00:31:54.319><c> I</c><00:31:54.819><c> will</c><00:31:55.099><c> build</c><00:31:55.359><c> a</c><00:31:55.619><c> magnificent</c><00:31:56.180><c> palace</c><00:31:56.720><c> with</c><00:31:57.079><c> huge</c>

00:31:57.680 --> 00:31:59.440

lovely<00:32:03.980><c> red.</c>

00:32:05.380 --> 00:32:08.720
Then<00:32:05.579><c> verse</c><00:32:05.799><c> 15</c><00:32:06.200><c> is</c><00:32:06.460><c> absolutely</c><00:32:06.839><c> a</c><00:32:07.119><c> magnificent</c><00:32:07.599><c> verse</c>

00:32:09.700 --> 00:32:13.119
and<00:32:10.259><c> I</c><00:32:10.380><c> think</c><00:32:10.500><c> the</c><00:32:10.640><c> way</c><00:32:10.720><c> it's</c><00:32:11.059><c> translated</c><00:32:11.339><c> in</c><00:32:11.579><c> this</c><00:32:11.799><c> paraphrase</c><00:32:12.319><c> is</c><00:32:12.539><c> marvelous.</c>

00:32:13.619 --> 00:32:16.099
Having<00:32:13.900><c> said</c><00:32:14.079><c> this,</c><00:32:14.400><c> you</c><00:32:14.480><c> say</c><00:32:14.680><c> to</c><00:32:14.819><c> yourself</c><00:32:15.200><c> that</c><00:32:15.440><c> you're</c><00:32:15.880><c> going</c><00:32:16.000><c> to</c>

00:32:16.099 --> 00:32:18.240
have<00:32:16.180><c> it</c><00:32:16.400><c> paneled</c><00:32:16.920><c> with</c><00:32:17.240><c> fragrant</c><00:32:17.759><c> cedar</c>

00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:22.920
He<00:32:20.140><c> then</c><00:32:20.259><c> goes</c><00:32:20.480><c> on,</c><00:32:21.039><c> but</c><00:32:21.140><c> a</c><00:32:21.400><c> beautiful</c><00:32:21.839><c> palace</c><00:32:22.240><c> does</c><00:32:22.579><c> not</c><00:32:22.799><c> make</c>

00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:24.380
a<00:32:23.180><c> great</c><00:32:23.359><c> king.</c>

00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:27.299
Why<00:32:25.160><c> did</c><00:32:25.359><c> your</c><00:32:25.539><c> father</c><00:32:25.859><c> Josiah</c><00:32:26.460><c> reign</c><00:32:26.700><c> so</c><00:32:27.079><c> long?</c>

00:32:27.299 --> 00:32:32.259
Because<00:32:27.960><c> he</c><00:32:28.180><c> was</c><00:32:28.579><c> just</c><00:32:29.279><c> and</c><00:32:30.019><c> fair</c><00:32:30.460><c> in</c><00:32:30.900><c> all</c><00:32:31.319><c> his</c><00:32:31.700><c> dealings.</c>

00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:35.579
Was<00:32:32.640><c> not</c><00:32:33.200><c> this</c><00:32:33.700><c> to</c><00:32:34.039><c> know</c><00:32:34.740><c> God?</c>

00:32:36.019 --> 00:32:37.619
That's<00:32:36.220><c> lovely,</c><00:32:36.619><c> isn't</c><00:32:36.779><c> it?</c>

00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:43.519
See<00:32:37.880><c> the</c><00:32:37.980><c> actions</c><00:32:38.500><c> of</c><00:32:38.779><c> Josiah,</c><00:32:40.039><c> fair</c><00:32:40.500><c> dealing,</c><00:32:41.700><c> concern</c><00:32:42.059><c> for</c><00:32:42.400><c> others.</c>

00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:46.819
He<00:32:43.980><c> saw</c><00:32:44.259><c> to</c><00:32:44.480><c> it</c><00:32:44.660><c> that</c><00:32:44.900><c> justice</c><00:32:45.359><c> and</c><00:32:45.680><c> help</c><00:32:45.900><c> was</c><00:32:46.180><c> given</c><00:32:46.400><c> to</c><00:32:46.599><c> the</c>

00:32:46.819 --> 00:32:48.460
poor<00:32:47.180><c> and</c><00:32:47.720><c> the</c><00:32:47.920><c> needy</c>

00:32:48.460 --> 00:32:50.720
and<00:32:48.660><c> all</c><00:32:48.960><c> went</c><00:32:49.200><c> well</c><00:32:49.539><c> for</c><00:32:49.799><c> him.</c>

00:32:50.779 --> 00:32:53.720
This<00:32:51.299><c> is</c><00:32:51.539><c> how</c><00:32:51.779><c> a</c><00:32:51.960><c> man</c><00:32:52.240><c> lives</c><00:32:52.640><c> close</c><00:32:53.160><c> to</c><00:32:53.359><c> God.</c>

00:32:53.819 --> 00:32:55.720
Was<00:32:54.079><c> not</c><00:32:54.420><c> this</c><00:32:54.680><c> to</c><00:32:55.019><c> know</c><00:32:55.240><c> me?</c>

00:32:55.720 --> 00:33:00.339
So<00:32:56.880><c> that's</c><00:32:57.420><c> Josiah</c><00:32:57.880><c> being</c><00:32:58.259><c> contrasted</c><00:32:58.799><c> with</c><00:32:58.920><c> this</c><00:32:59.099><c> new</c><00:32:59.339><c> king</c><00:32:59.539><c> Jehoiakim</c>

00:33:00.339 --> 00:33:05.880
who<00:33:00.759><c> just</c><00:33:01.160><c> concerned</c><00:33:01.720><c> himself</c><00:33:02.259><c> with</c><00:33:02.779><c> building</c><00:33:03.160><c> up</c><00:33:03.660><c> a</c><00:33:03.799><c> luxurious</c><00:33:04.720><c> palace</c>

00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:06.940
for<00:33:06.119><c> himself.</c>

00:33:07.900 --> 00:33:11.519
And<00:33:08.079><c> all</c><00:33:08.299><c> the</c><00:33:08.599><c> time</c><00:33:08.940><c> the</c><00:33:09.259><c> Babylonians</c><00:33:10.119><c> were</c><00:33:10.420><c> knocking</c><00:33:10.740><c> at</c><00:33:10.960><c> the</c><00:33:11.180><c> door</c>

00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:14.619
and<00:33:12.039><c> the</c><00:33:12.220><c> nation</c><00:33:12.500><c> was</c><00:33:12.920><c> doomed</c><00:33:13.440><c> and</c><00:33:13.619><c> he</c><00:33:13.819><c> knew</c><00:33:14.059><c> it.</c>

00:33:14.740 --> 00:33:18.339
Instead<00:33:15.039><c> of</c><00:33:15.299><c> recalling</c><00:33:15.859><c> them</c><00:33:16.019><c> to</c><00:33:16.279><c> God,</c><00:33:16.720><c> he</c><00:33:16.940><c> just</c><00:33:17.240><c> got</c><00:33:17.420><c> on</c><00:33:17.880><c> with</c>

00:33:18.339 --> 00:33:20.259
his<00:33:18.619><c> own</c><00:33:19.140><c> selfish</c><00:33:19.559><c> interests.</c>

00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:23.019
So<00:33:20.640><c> that's</c><00:33:20.960><c> Jehoiakim.</c>

00:33:23.460 --> 00:33:28.440
And<00:33:23.779><c> in</c><00:33:25.460><c> the</c><00:33:25.660><c> time</c><00:33:25.880><c> of</c><00:33:26.099><c> Jehoiakim,</c><00:33:26.700><c> right</c><00:33:26.960><c> at</c><00:33:27.160><c> the</c><00:33:27.359><c> beginning,</c>

00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:31.220
Jeremiah<00:33:28.960><c> really</c><00:33:29.440><c> starts</c><00:33:29.759><c> getting</c><00:33:30.119><c> prominent.</c>

00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:34.980
In<00:33:31.579><c> chapter</c><00:33:31.819><c> 7</c><00:33:32.220><c> tells</c><00:33:32.519><c> you</c><00:33:32.859><c> how</c><00:33:33.079><c> he</c><00:33:33.220><c> goes</c><00:33:33.519><c> and</c><00:33:33.859><c> stands</c><00:33:34.200><c> one</c><00:33:34.599><c> day</c>

00:33:34.980 --> 00:33:36.779
outside<00:33:35.579><c> the</c><00:33:35.859><c> temple.</c>

00:33:37.819 --> 00:33:42.160
You<00:33:37.980><c> know,</c><00:33:38.240><c> what</c><00:33:38.400><c> would</c><00:33:38.599><c> happen</c><00:33:38.920><c> if</c><00:33:40.019><c> somebody</c><00:33:40.500><c> came</c><00:33:40.880><c> and</c><00:33:41.200><c> stood</c><00:33:41.380><c> outside</c><00:33:41.900><c> your</c>

00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:43.460
meeting<00:33:42.539><c> room?</c>

00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:48.380
A<00:33:44.039><c> brother</c><00:33:44.660><c> said,</c><00:33:46.700><c> but</c><00:33:46.920><c> not</c><00:33:47.119><c> put</c><00:33:47.279><c> any</c><00:33:47.559><c> ecclesias</c><00:33:48.119><c> in,</c>

00:33:48.420 --> 00:33:50.460
otherwise<00:33:48.799><c> you</c><00:33:49.259><c> might</c><00:33:49.440><c> think</c><00:33:49.579><c> I'm</c><00:33:49.779><c> getting</c><00:33:50.059><c> at</c><00:33:50.240><c> somebody.</c>

00:33:50.460 --> 00:33:52.940
So<00:33:50.900><c> he</c><00:33:51.240><c> went</c><00:33:51.420><c> and</c><00:33:51.640><c> said,</c>

00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:56.619
ex<00:33:53.740><c>-land</c><00:33:54.000><c> ecclesia</c><00:33:54.680><c> is</c><00:33:55.500><c> corrupt.</c>

00:33:58.059 --> 00:34:00.059
And<00:33:58.200><c> you</c><00:33:58.380><c> came</c><00:33:58.559><c> and</c><00:33:58.740><c> found</c><00:33:58.880><c> somebody</c><00:33:59.240><c> outside</c><00:33:59.599><c> your</c><00:33:59.799><c> meeting</c>

00:34:00.059 --> 00:34:00.839
saying<00:34:00.299><c> that.</c>

00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:02.500
I<00:34:01.079><c> think</c><00:34:01.160><c> the</c><00:34:01.359><c> arranging</c><00:34:01.640><c> brethren</c><00:34:01.880><c> would</c><00:34:02.039><c> soon</c><00:34:02.200><c> be</c><00:34:02.319><c> on</c><00:34:02.460><c> to</c>

00:34:02.500 --> 00:34:02.700
him<00:34:02.579><c> and</c><00:34:02.640><c> say,</c>

00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:05.579
you<00:34:02.819><c> go</c><00:34:03.059><c> away</c><00:34:03.279><c> and</c><00:34:03.700><c> don't</c><00:34:04.099><c> interrupt</c><00:34:04.380><c> with</c><00:34:04.599><c> our</c><00:34:04.759><c> worship.</c>

00:34:06.140 --> 00:34:08.260
Well<00:34:06.359><c> actually</c><00:34:06.559><c> that's</c><00:34:06.759><c> what</c><00:34:06.960><c> Jeremiah</c><00:34:07.359><c> did.</c>

00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:11.260
Or<00:34:08.860><c> to</c><00:34:09.059><c> put</c><00:34:09.199><c> it</c><00:34:09.340><c> on</c><00:34:09.659><c> another</c><00:34:10.000><c> plane,</c>

00:34:11.500 --> 00:34:14.239
St<00:34:11.579><c> Paul's</c><00:34:11.960><c> Cathedral</c><00:34:12.400><c> is</c><00:34:12.679><c> a</c><00:34:12.800><c> very</c><00:34:13.019><c> big</c><00:34:13.340><c> church</c><00:34:13.820><c> that</c><00:34:14.039><c> you've</c>

00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:20.219
Well<00:34:17.679><c> it's</c><00:34:17.860><c> something</c><00:34:18.039><c> like</c><00:34:18.280><c> Billy</c><00:34:18.559><c> Graham</c><00:34:18.880><c> going</c><00:34:19.119><c> and</c><00:34:19.400><c> standing</c><00:34:19.519><c> outside</c><00:34:20.039><c> St</c>

00:34:24.820 --> 00:34:26.380
You<00:34:25.079><c> know,</c><00:34:25.320><c> and</c><00:34:25.440><c> they</c><00:34:25.539><c> wouldn't</c><00:34:25.739><c> like</c><00:34:26.039><c> it.</c>

00:34:26.579 --> 00:34:28.699
He<00:34:26.719><c> can</c><00:34:26.860><c> do</c><00:34:26.940><c> that</c><00:34:27.139><c> all</c><00:34:27.300><c> right</c><00:34:27.460><c> at</c><00:34:27.659><c> the</c><00:34:27.880><c> White</c><00:34:28.039><c> City</c><00:34:28.320><c> Stadium,</c>

00:34:29.860 --> 00:34:31.860

00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:36.760

00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:50.800
Well<00:34:48.980><c> you</c><00:34:49.139><c> see,</c><00:34:49.500><c> Josiah</c><00:34:49.800><c> had</c><00:34:49.940><c> got</c><00:34:50.039><c> them</c><00:34:50.159><c> into</c><00:34:50.300><c> the</c><00:34:50.480><c> habit</c><00:34:50.639><c> of</c>

00:34:51.940 --> 00:34:53.739
and<00:34:52.199><c> so</c><00:34:52.300><c> they</c><00:34:52.420><c> were</c><00:34:52.559><c> still</c><00:34:52.800><c> going.</c>

00:34:54.099 --> 00:34:55.980
And<00:34:54.239><c> he</c><00:34:54.420><c> says,</c><00:34:55.280><c> verse</c><00:34:55.420><c> 3,</c>

00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:58.739
The<00:34:56.360><c> Lord</c><00:34:56.579><c> of</c><00:34:56.760><c> hosts,</c><00:34:57.579><c> the</c><00:34:57.719><c> God</c><00:34:57.820><c> of</c><00:34:57.960><c> Israel</c><00:34:58.320><c> says,</c>

00:34:59.179 --> 00:35:02.719
even<00:34:59.519><c> yet,</c><00:35:00.820><c> if</c><00:35:01.019><c> you</c><00:35:01.360><c> quit</c><00:35:01.639><c> your</c><00:35:01.920><c> evil</c><00:35:02.260><c> ways,</c>

00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:04.960
I'll<00:35:02.980><c> let</c><00:35:03.199><c> you</c><00:35:03.480><c> stay</c><00:35:03.860><c> in</c><00:35:04.039><c> your</c><00:35:04.320><c> own</c><00:35:04.519><c> lands.</c>

00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:08.780
Don't<00:35:05.920><c> be</c><00:35:06.380><c> fooled</c><00:35:06.940><c> by</c><00:35:07.260><c> those</c><00:35:07.679><c> who</c><00:35:08.019><c> lie</c><00:35:08.239><c> to</c><00:35:08.480><c> you,</c>

and<00:35:09.239><c> say</c><00:35:09.519><c> that</c><00:35:09.760><c> since</c><00:35:10.099><c> the</c><00:35:10.400><c> temple</c><00:35:10.639><c> of</c><00:35:10.800><c> the</c><00:35:10.980><c> Lord</c><00:35:11.300><c> is</c><00:35:11.619><c> here,</c>

00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:14.699
God<00:35:12.239><c> will</c><00:35:12.559><c> never</c><00:35:12.860><c> let</c><00:35:13.159><c> Jerusalem</c><00:35:13.699><c> be</c><00:35:14.019><c> destroyed.</c>

00:35:15.019 --> 00:35:16.320
That's<00:35:15.119><c> what</c><00:35:15.179><c> people</c><00:35:15.400><c> were</c><00:35:15.500><c> saying,</c><00:35:15.760><c> it's</c><00:35:15.800><c> all</c><00:35:15.940><c> right,</c><00:35:16.159><c> the</c>

temple's<00:35:16.760><c> here,</c>

00:35:17.340 --> 00:35:18.699
so<00:35:17.500><c> everything's</c><00:35:17.800><c> going</c><00:35:17.920><c> to</c><00:35:18.000><c> be</c><00:35:18.159><c> all</c><00:35:18.340><c> right.</c>

00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:20.960
It's<00:35:19.199><c> all</c><00:35:19.380><c> right,</c><00:35:19.699><c> we're</c><00:35:19.840><c> Christadelphians,</c><00:35:20.519><c> so</c><00:35:20.659><c> we're</c><00:35:20.780><c> going</c><00:35:20.880><c> to</c>

00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:22.400

See,<00:35:23.360><c> Jeremiah</c><00:35:23.659><c> pricks</c><00:35:24.199><c> the</c><00:35:24.500><c> bubble</c><00:35:24.699><c> of</c><00:35:24.980><c> religious</c><00:35:25.380><c> self</c><00:35:25.760><c>-confidence.</c>

00:35:26.539 --> 00:35:28.159
That's<00:35:26.739><c> what</c><00:35:26.840><c> Jeremiah</c><00:35:27.280><c> does.</c>

00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:30.960
He<00:35:28.699><c> could</c><00:35:28.820><c> do</c><00:35:28.900><c> it</c><00:35:29.039><c> for</c><00:35:29.159><c> us,</c><00:35:29.440><c> but</c><00:35:29.559><c> sometimes</c><00:35:29.860><c> we</c><00:35:30.019><c> need</c><00:35:30.199><c> that</c><00:35:30.579><c> bubble</c><00:35:30.739><c> to</c>

00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:33.940
Trust<00:35:32.599><c> ye</c><00:35:32.800><c> not</c><00:35:32.920><c> in</c><00:35:33.199><c> lying</c><00:35:33.380><c> words,</c><00:35:33.800><c> saying,</c>

00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:36.639
The<00:35:34.280><c> temple</c><00:35:34.559><c> of</c><00:35:34.699><c> the</c><00:35:34.860><c> Lord,</c><00:35:35.460><c> the</c><00:35:35.699><c> temple</c><00:35:35.960><c> of</c><00:35:36.079><c> the</c><00:35:36.260><c> Lord,</c>

the<00:35:36.860><c> temple</c><00:35:37.139><c> of</c><00:35:37.239><c> the</c><00:35:37.360><c> Lord</c><00:35:37.619><c> of</c><00:35:37.780><c> these,</c><00:35:38.079><c> we're</c><00:35:38.239><c> all</c><00:35:38.440><c> right.</c>

00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:40.179
Do<00:35:38.800><c> you</c><00:35:38.800><c> remember</c><00:35:38.920><c> how</c><00:35:39.059><c> the</c><00:35:39.239><c> disciples</c><00:35:39.579><c> said</c><00:35:39.739><c> to</c><00:35:39.900><c> Jesus,</c>

00:35:40.179 --> 00:35:42.360
Look<00:35:40.860><c> at</c><00:35:41.039><c> this</c><00:35:41.260><c> temple,</c><00:35:41.780><c> and</c><00:35:41.920><c> Jesus</c><00:35:42.159><c> said,</c>

00:35:42.500 --> 00:35:45.119
One<00:35:42.619><c> stone</c><00:35:42.940><c> won't</c><00:35:43.139><c> be</c><00:35:43.360><c> left</c><00:35:43.719><c> upon</c><00:35:44.159><c> another.</c>

00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:48.480
That's<00:35:46.920><c> how</c><00:35:47.119><c> he</c><00:35:47.360><c> started.</c>

00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:52.260
Well,<00:35:49.539><c> for</c><00:35:49.980><c> that,</c><00:35:50.480><c> because</c><00:35:50.639><c> you</c><00:35:50.780><c> also</c><00:35:51.000><c> read</c><00:35:51.260><c> about</c><00:35:51.559><c> this</c><00:35:51.920><c> in</c>

00:35:55.420 --> 00:35:57.539
They<00:35:55.559><c> said</c><00:35:55.659><c> it</c><00:35:55.820><c> was</c><00:35:56.139><c> treason,</c><00:35:56.519><c> they</c><00:35:56.599><c> said</c><00:35:56.739><c> it</c><00:35:56.880><c> was</c><00:35:57.159><c> blasphemy</c>

00:35:59.059 --> 00:36:01.780
But<00:35:59.219><c> he's</c><00:35:59.400><c> still</c><00:35:59.500><c> got</c><00:35:59.679><c> enough</c><00:36:00.000><c> friends</c><00:36:00.519><c> to</c><00:36:01.219><c> stop</c><00:36:01.360><c> him</c><00:36:01.579><c> from</c>

being<00:36:02.019><c> executed.</c>

00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:05.760
And<00:36:03.739><c> so</c><00:36:03.920><c> he</c><00:36:04.159><c> escaped</c><00:36:04.539><c> from</c><00:36:04.800><c> being</c><00:36:05.019><c> executed,</c><00:36:05.400><c> and</c><00:36:05.500><c> he</c><00:36:05.539><c> had</c><00:36:05.659><c> to</c>

00:36:07.579 --> 00:36:10.619
Then,<00:36:08.119><c> what</c><00:36:08.280><c> he</c><00:36:08.460><c> did,</c><00:36:09.079><c> but</c><00:36:09.139><c> he</c><00:36:09.239><c> got</c><00:36:09.360><c> hold</c><00:36:09.480><c> of</c><00:36:09.739><c> Baruch.</c>

00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:14.320
He<00:36:11.019><c> said</c><00:36:11.179><c> to</c><00:36:11.380><c> Baruch,</c><00:36:11.739><c> Look,</c><00:36:11.960><c> I</c><00:36:12.300><c> want</c><00:36:12.639><c> you</c><00:36:12.900><c> to</c><00:36:13.659><c> sit</c><00:36:13.920><c> down</c><00:36:14.179><c> there</c>

00:36:18.260 --> 00:36:20.360
So<00:36:18.440><c> he</c><00:36:18.500><c> took</c><00:36:18.679><c> down</c><00:36:18.960><c> all</c><00:36:19.300><c> the</c><00:36:19.480><c> things</c><00:36:19.619><c> that</c><00:36:19.760><c> he'd</c><00:36:19.960><c> said</c><00:36:20.039><c> in</c><00:36:20.199><c> the</c>

00:36:24.300 --> 00:36:25.179
of<00:36:24.480><c> Jehoahaz,</c>

00:36:25.380 --> 00:36:27.679

00:36:30.099 --> 00:36:32.139
And<00:36:30.340><c> Baruch</c><00:36:30.539><c> wrote</c><00:36:30.780><c> them</c><00:36:30.920><c> all</c><00:36:31.139><c> down.</c>

00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:36.900
Now,<00:36:33.719><c> says</c><00:36:33.719><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:36:34.219><c> you</c><00:36:34.699><c> toddle</c><00:36:35.000><c> off</c><00:36:35.260><c> to</c><00:36:35.539><c> the</c><00:36:36.320><c> temple</c><00:36:36.619><c> area</c>

00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:42.840

00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:50.019
You're<00:36:46.820><c> still</c><00:36:47.019><c> wicked,</c><00:36:47.380><c> you're</c><00:36:47.599><c> still</c><00:36:47.760><c> evil,</c><00:36:48.420><c> you</c><00:36:48.619><c> still</c><00:36:49.139><c> think</c><00:36:49.420><c> you're</c><00:36:49.679><c> all</c><00:36:49.820><c> right,</c>

00:36:52.739 --> 00:36:54.920
Those<00:36:52.920><c> are</c><00:36:53.079><c> the</c><00:36:53.239><c> chapters</c><00:36:53.480><c> that</c><00:36:53.659><c> sometimes</c><00:36:54.000><c> seem</c><00:36:54.260><c> so</c><00:36:54.599><c> tedious,</c>

00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:56.940
as<00:36:55.079><c> you</c><00:36:55.260><c> read</c><00:36:55.440><c> them</c><00:36:55.579><c> one</c><00:36:55.719><c> after</c><00:36:55.920><c> the</c><00:36:56.119><c> other.</c>

00:36:57.139 --> 00:37:00.059
All<00:36:57.320><c> the</c><00:36:57.480><c> people</c><00:36:57.699><c> say,</c><00:36:58.119><c> anybody</c><00:36:58.480><c> know</c><00:36:58.679><c> what</c><00:36:58.920><c> Baruch's</c><00:36:59.380><c> up</c><00:36:59.500><c> to</c><00:36:59.679><c> here?</c>

00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:02.760
I<00:37:00.840><c> wonder</c><00:37:00.940><c> why</c><00:37:01.099><c> they</c><00:37:01.199><c> let</c><00:37:01.260><c> him</c><00:37:01.380><c> get</c><00:37:01.539><c> away</c><00:37:01.699><c> with</c><00:37:01.940><c> that.</c>

00:37:02.860 --> 00:37:04.820
And<00:37:03.039><c> then</c><00:37:03.139><c> the</c><00:37:03.300><c> rulers</c><00:37:03.539><c> came</c><00:37:03.860><c> along.</c>

00:37:04.860 --> 00:37:06.840
They<00:37:05.079><c> listened.</c><00:37:05.539><c> They</c><00:37:05.699><c> said,</c><00:37:05.820><c> you</c><00:37:05.980><c> know,</c><00:37:06.039><c> this</c><00:37:06.219><c> is</c><00:37:06.480><c> serious,</c>

00:37:06.940 --> 00:37:07.940
this<00:37:07.139><c> is.</c>

00:37:08.139 --> 00:37:10.380
Because<00:37:08.280><c> if</c><00:37:08.400><c> he's</c><00:37:08.679><c> right,</c><00:37:08.960><c> we're</c><00:37:09.159><c> in</c><00:37:09.300><c> for</c><00:37:09.500><c> trouble.</c>

00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:12.159
So<00:37:11.039><c> they</c><00:37:11.179><c> went</c><00:37:11.260><c> after</c><00:37:11.460><c> the</c><00:37:11.760><c> king.</c>

00:37:12.340 --> 00:37:14.579
They<00:37:12.460><c> said,</c><00:37:12.780><c> Baruch,</c><00:37:12.960><c> you</c><00:37:13.199><c> come</c><00:37:13.360><c> with</c><00:37:13.579><c> us.</c>

00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:17.780
And<00:37:15.880><c> so,</c><00:37:16.340><c> before</c><00:37:16.679><c> they</c><00:37:16.820><c> went</c><00:37:16.900><c> to</c><00:37:17.019><c> the</c><00:37:17.139><c> king,</c><00:37:17.239><c> they</c><00:37:17.320><c> got</c><00:37:17.420><c> him</c><00:37:17.579><c> to</c>

00:37:17.780 --> 00:37:19.320
read<00:37:17.900><c> it</c><00:37:18.099><c> again</c><00:37:18.300><c> to</c><00:37:18.500><c> them.</c>

00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:22.219
And<00:37:20.119><c> they</c><00:37:20.199><c> said,</c><00:37:20.380><c> look,</c><00:37:20.519><c> Baruch,</c><00:37:21.340><c> they</c><00:37:21.420><c> went</c><00:37:21.519><c> too</c><00:37:21.800><c> bad,</c><00:37:21.960><c> you</c>

00:37:22.219 --> 00:37:23.239
see,<00:37:22.340><c> they</c><00:37:22.480><c> were</c><00:37:22.619><c> half</c><00:37:22.840><c> and</c><00:37:23.059><c> half.</c>

00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:25.619
You<00:37:23.719><c> just</c><00:37:24.000><c> make</c><00:37:24.179><c> yourself</c><00:37:24.500><c> scarce,</c><00:37:24.940><c> you</c><00:37:25.159><c> disappear.</c>

00:37:25.739 --> 00:37:27.639
You<00:37:25.840><c> go</c><00:37:26.019><c> and</c><00:37:26.159><c> find</c><00:37:26.300><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:37:26.760><c> and</c><00:37:26.900><c> both</c><00:37:27.019><c> of</c><00:37:27.159><c> you</c><00:37:27.280><c> clear</c><00:37:27.440><c> out</c>

00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:29.440
and<00:37:27.840><c> hide</c><00:37:27.980><c> in</c><00:37:28.119><c> the</c><00:37:28.260><c> country</c><00:37:28.559><c> somewhere.</c>

00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:31.960
You<00:37:30.280><c> just</c><00:37:30.500><c> get</c><00:37:30.679><c> out</c><00:37:30.840><c> of</c><00:37:30.940><c> the</c><00:37:31.079><c> way.</c>

00:37:32.099 --> 00:37:33.659
They<00:37:32.239><c> just</c><00:37:32.420><c> gave</c><00:37:32.539><c> him</c><00:37:32.659><c> an</c><00:37:32.820><c> hour</c><00:37:32.940><c> to</c><00:37:33.059><c> get</c><00:37:33.159><c> out</c><00:37:33.340><c> of</c><00:37:33.440><c> the</c><00:37:33.539><c> way,</c>

00:37:33.679 --> 00:37:35.559
and<00:37:33.780><c> then</c><00:37:33.860><c> they</c><00:37:33.960><c> went</c><00:37:34.059><c> to</c><00:37:34.199><c> the</c><00:37:34.340><c> king</c><00:37:34.500><c> and</c><00:37:34.559><c> said,</c><00:37:34.800><c> look,</c><00:37:35.300><c> we've</c>

We<00:37:38.000><c> read</c><00:37:38.139><c> about</c><00:37:38.380><c> this</c><00:37:38.519><c> in</c><00:37:38.639><c> the</c><00:37:38.920><c> 36th</c><00:37:39.480><c> chapter.</c>

And<00:37:44.019><c> he</c><00:37:44.159><c> sat</c><00:37:44.320><c> there.</c><00:37:45.360><c> I</c><00:37:45.500><c> often</c><00:37:45.639><c> wonder</c><00:37:45.840><c> what</c><00:37:46.239><c> sort</c><00:37:46.460><c> of</c><00:37:46.639><c> a</c><00:37:46.719><c> look</c>

00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:55.239

Or<00:38:02.980><c> did</c><00:38:03.099><c> he</c><00:38:03.340><c> just,</c><00:38:03.780><c> I</c><00:38:04.139><c> think,</c><00:38:04.579><c> probably</c><00:38:04.760><c> this</c><00:38:04.900><c> is</c><00:38:05.000><c> what</c><00:38:05.079><c> he</c><00:38:05.280><c> did.</c>

00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:19.539
I<00:38:17.059><c> think</c><00:38:17.280><c> that's</c><00:38:17.460><c> what</c><00:38:17.599><c> he</c><00:38:17.780><c> did,</c><00:38:18.019><c> because</c><00:38:18.179><c> he</c><00:38:18.280><c> got</c><00:38:18.420><c> his</c><00:38:18.679><c> penknife</c><00:38:19.139><c> out,</c>

00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:34.059
Men<00:38:32.679><c> have</c><00:38:32.980><c> tried</c><00:38:33.179><c> to</c><00:38:33.440><c> again</c><00:38:33.599><c> and</c><00:38:33.760><c> again,</c>

00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:40.659
You<00:38:38.219><c> can't</c><00:38:38.679><c> get</c><00:38:38.900><c> rid</c><00:38:39.099><c> of</c><00:38:39.340><c> God's</c><00:38:39.780><c> Word.</c>

00:38:41.940 --> 00:38:45.920
Because<00:38:42.460><c> Jeremiah</c><00:38:42.980><c> and</c><00:38:43.260><c> Baruch,</c><00:38:43.920><c> in</c><00:38:44.099><c> their</c><00:38:44.280><c> hiding</c><00:38:44.639><c> place,</c>

00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:48.519
Jeremiah<00:38:47.059><c> just</c><00:38:47.340><c> dictated</c><00:38:47.739><c> it</c><00:38:47.940><c> all</c><00:38:48.099><c> again,</c>

and<00:38:51.760><c> he</c><00:38:52.000><c> added</c><00:38:52.260><c> much</c><00:38:52.699><c> more</c><00:38:53.059><c> also.</c>

00:38:54.539 --> 00:38:56.320
There's<00:38:55.019><c> humor</c><00:38:55.280><c> in</c><00:38:55.440><c> the</c><00:38:55.619><c> Bible,</c><00:38:55.840><c> you</c><00:38:56.079><c> see,</c>

and<00:38:56.820><c> he</c><00:38:57.000><c> added</c><00:38:57.239><c> much</c><00:38:57.639><c> more</c><00:38:57.940><c> also.</c>

00:38:58.340 --> 00:39:00.780
Many<00:38:58.699><c> like</c><00:38:59.079><c> words</c><00:38:59.599><c> thereunto.</c>

00:39:02.380 --> 00:39:05.360
And<00:39:02.860><c> that,</c><00:39:03.340><c> I</c><00:39:03.579><c> think,</c><00:39:03.900><c> really,</c><00:39:04.500><c> that</c><00:39:04.900><c> scroll,</c>

00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:08.340
is<00:39:06.019><c> how</c><00:39:06.300><c> the</c><00:39:06.460><c> book</c><00:39:06.659><c> of</c><00:39:06.860><c> Jeremiah</c><00:39:07.239><c> came</c><00:39:07.639><c> to</c><00:39:07.840><c> be</c><00:39:08.079><c> written,</c>

00:39:08.420 --> 00:39:10.179
because<00:39:08.659><c> all</c><00:39:08.840><c> of</c><00:39:08.920><c> it</c><00:39:09.019><c> was</c><00:39:09.280><c> spoken</c><00:39:09.579><c> at</c><00:39:09.860><c> first.</c>

00:39:10.380 --> 00:39:14.099
This<00:39:10.639><c> gives</c><00:39:10.880><c> us</c><00:39:11.059><c> little</c><00:39:11.219><c> hints</c><00:39:11.619><c> as</c><00:39:11.780><c> to</c><00:39:12.079><c> how</c><00:39:12.320><c> the</c><00:39:12.539><c> Bible</c><00:39:12.800><c> came</c><00:39:13.119><c> together.</c>

00:39:14.260 --> 00:39:16.380
So<00:39:14.460><c> it</c><00:39:14.659><c> all</c><00:39:14.860><c> got</c><00:39:15.079><c> written</c><00:39:15.380><c> down.</c>

00:39:17.099 --> 00:39:20.699
Well,<00:39:18.380><c> Jeremiah</c><00:39:18.820><c> sends</c><00:39:19.039><c> a</c><00:39:19.239><c> few</c><00:39:19.360><c> messages</c><00:39:19.739><c> to</c><00:39:19.980><c> Jehoiakim</c><00:39:20.500><c> then,</c>

00:39:20.699 --> 00:39:22.400
and<00:39:20.820><c> says,</c><00:39:20.960><c> you're</c><00:39:21.179><c> going</c><00:39:21.219><c> to</c><00:39:21.300><c> have</c><00:39:21.480><c> a</c><00:39:21.659><c> donkey's</c><00:39:22.139><c> funeral,</c>

00:39:23.820 --> 00:39:25.519
When<00:39:24.340><c> you</c><00:39:24.440><c> put</c><00:39:24.559><c> it</c><00:39:24.659><c> in</c><00:39:24.760><c> that</c><00:39:24.940><c> sort</c><00:39:25.079><c> of</c><00:39:25.219><c> language,</c>

00:39:25.539 --> 00:39:28.739
you<00:39:25.679><c> realize</c><00:39:26.059><c> the</c><00:39:26.280><c> kind</c><00:39:26.500><c> of</c><00:39:26.739><c> living</c><00:39:27.139><c> courageous</c><00:39:28.119><c> things</c><00:39:28.559><c> that</c>

00:39:28.739 --> 00:39:29.820
were<00:39:28.960><c> said,</c>

00:39:30.019 --> 00:39:32.420
and<00:39:30.159><c> they</c><00:39:30.280><c> weren't</c><00:39:30.380><c> all</c><00:39:30.679><c> that</c><00:39:30.800><c> very</c><00:39:31.099><c> polite</c><00:39:31.420><c> either.</c>

00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:35.760
Needless<00:39:34.039><c> to</c><00:39:34.199><c> say,</c><00:39:34.480><c> Jehoiakim</c><00:39:34.900><c> wasn't</c><00:39:35.139><c> very</c><00:39:35.500><c> pleased</c>

00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.300

00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:44.900
And<00:39:40.280><c> nevertheless,</c><00:39:41.179><c> he</c><00:39:41.219><c> never</c><00:39:41.519><c> got</c><00:39:42.039><c> him.</c>

00:39:54.139 --> 00:39:59.380
And<00:39:54.579><c> the</c><00:39:55.019><c> king</c><00:39:55.480><c> of</c><00:39:56.400><c> Babylon,</c><00:39:58.539><c> Nebuchadnezzar,</c>

00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:03.179

00:40:04.019 --> 00:40:05.920
I<00:40:04.400><c> may</c><00:40:04.519><c> have</c><00:40:04.639><c> got</c><00:40:04.719><c> my</c><00:40:04.960><c> relationships</c><00:40:05.500><c> wrong</c><00:40:05.780><c> there,</c>

00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:06.900
we'll<00:40:06.059><c> have</c><00:40:06.119><c> to</c><00:40:06.139><c> look</c><00:40:06.320><c> that</c><00:40:06.500><c> up</c><00:40:06.639><c> anyway.</c>

00:40:06.980 --> 00:40:09.039

00:40:13.420 --> 00:40:15.639
Now,<00:40:13.920><c> we've</c><00:40:14.239><c> all</c><00:40:14.360><c> heard</c><00:40:14.539><c> of</c><00:40:14.599><c> Zedekiah</c><00:40:15.059><c> because</c><00:40:15.280><c> he</c><00:40:15.400><c> was</c><00:40:15.599><c> the</c>

We<00:40:16.719><c> all</c><00:40:16.980><c> remember,</c><00:40:18.119><c> for</c><00:40:18.480><c> a</c><00:40:18.619><c> little</c><00:40:18.760><c> while,</c><00:40:19.000><c> just</c><00:40:19.159><c> for</c><00:40:19.280><c> three</c><00:40:19.460><c> months,</c>

00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:27.460
That's<00:40:26.280><c> got</c><00:40:26.360><c> it</c><00:40:26.519><c> right.</c>

Don't<00:42:03.539><c> fight</c><00:42:03.920><c> Babylon,</c><00:42:04.320><c> he</c><00:42:04.599><c> said.</c>

Sir,<00:42:23.239><c> this</c><00:42:23.500><c> fellow</c><00:42:23.699><c> must</c><00:42:24.019><c> die.</c>

So<00:42:36.559><c> King</c><00:42:36.900><c> Zedekiah</c><00:42:37.659><c> agreed.</c>

All<00:42:40.360><c> right,</c><00:42:40.659><c> he</c><00:42:40.840><c> said,</c>

00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:48.659
What<00:42:46.079><c> a</c><00:42:46.219><c> thing</c><00:42:46.320><c> for</c><00:42:46.500><c> a</c><00:42:46.579><c> king</c><00:42:46.699><c> to</c><00:42:46.960><c> say,</c><00:42:47.380><c> I</c><00:42:47.579><c> can't</c><00:42:47.900><c> stop</c><00:42:48.139><c> you.</c>

00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:51.760
And<00:42:49.159><c> then</c><00:42:49.519><c> in</c><00:42:49.780><c> comes</c><00:42:50.119><c> bounding</c><00:42:50.940><c> Ibed</c><00:42:51.360><c>-Melech,</c>

00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:04.940
That's<00:43:03.480><c> the</c><00:43:03.659><c> character</c><00:43:04.059><c> of</c><00:43:04.280><c> Zedekiah.</c>

00:43:05.179 --> 00:43:07.119
He<00:43:05.460><c> means</c><00:43:05.880><c> well.</c>

00:43:07.659 --> 00:43:09.659
As<00:43:08.139><c> one</c><00:43:08.420><c> person</c><00:43:08.780><c> said,</c>

00:43:09.820 --> 00:43:12.320
he<00:43:09.860><c> was</c><00:43:10.079><c> all</c><00:43:10.320><c> wishbone</c><00:43:10.840><c> and</c><00:43:10.980><c> no</c><00:43:11.239><c> backbone.</c>

00:43:14.059 --> 00:43:15.139
I<00:43:14.179><c> thought</c><00:43:14.280><c> that</c><00:43:14.380><c> was</c><00:43:14.539><c> rather</c><00:43:14.739><c> good,</c>

00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:17.500
all<00:43:15.679><c> wishbone</c><00:43:16.139><c> and</c><00:43:16.300><c> no</c><00:43:16.539><c> backbone.</c>

00:43:18.059 --> 00:43:20.239
And<00:43:18.119><c> you</c><00:43:18.280><c> know,</c><00:43:19.119><c> one</c><00:43:19.300><c> feels</c><00:43:19.460><c> sorry</c><00:43:19.820><c> for</c><00:43:20.079><c> him,</c>

00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:21.699
and<00:43:20.380><c> yet</c><00:43:20.460><c> there</c><00:43:20.659><c> it</c><00:43:20.900><c> is.</c>

00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:23.880
If<00:43:22.320><c> he</c><00:43:22.480><c> hadn't</c><00:43:22.619><c> got</c><00:43:22.820><c> much</c><00:43:23.119><c> backbone</c><00:43:23.460><c> of</c><00:43:23.599><c> his</c><00:43:23.760><c> own,</c>

00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:25.539
he<00:43:23.940><c> should</c><00:43:24.119><c> have</c><00:43:24.280><c> surrounded</c><00:43:24.699><c> himself</c><00:43:25.099><c> with</c><00:43:25.260><c> people</c>

00:43:25.539 --> 00:43:28.300
who<00:43:25.780><c> had</c><00:43:25.980><c> got</c><00:43:26.320><c> backbone,</c><00:43:27.179><c> so</c><00:43:27.380><c> that</c><00:43:27.480><c> they</c><00:43:27.599><c> could</c><00:43:27.920><c> sort</c><00:43:28.099><c> of</c>

00:43:28.300 --> 00:43:30.380
help<00:43:28.440><c> him</c><00:43:28.679><c> and</c><00:43:28.920><c> strengthen</c><00:43:29.199><c> his</c><00:43:29.519><c> hands.</c>

00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:34.119
He<00:43:31.679><c> was</c><00:43:31.920><c> always</c><00:43:32.260><c> a</c><00:43:32.440><c> bit</c><00:43:32.679><c> careful</c><00:43:33.239><c> about</c><00:43:33.619><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:36.059
When<00:43:34.559><c> Jeremiah</c><00:43:34.940><c> was</c><00:43:35.159><c> in</c><00:43:35.400><c> prison,</c>

00:43:36.619 --> 00:43:38.619
they<00:43:36.619><c> would</c><00:43:36.619><c> call</c><00:43:36.619><c> him</c><00:43:36.860><c> to</c><00:43:37.300><c> come</c><00:43:37.599><c> and</c><00:43:37.940><c> give</c><00:43:38.039><c> him</c><00:43:38.260><c> advice.</c>

00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:40.900
Well,<00:43:38.880><c> the</c><00:43:39.039><c> Babylonians</c><00:43:40.019><c> were</c><00:43:40.500><c> there,</c>

00:43:41.179 --> 00:43:42.659
and<00:43:41.300><c> they</c><00:43:41.380><c> would</c><00:43:41.719><c> come</c><00:43:42.000><c> to</c><00:43:42.179><c> the</c><00:43:42.320><c> gates,</c>

00:43:42.860 --> 00:43:44.699
and<00:43:42.940><c> then</c><00:43:43.039><c> they'd</c><00:43:43.219><c> go</c><00:43:43.400><c> back</c><00:43:43.619><c> because</c><00:43:43.900><c> of</c><00:43:44.079><c> some</c><00:43:44.300><c> problem.</c>

00:43:45.019 --> 00:43:48.159
Every<00:43:45.239><c> time</c><00:43:45.380><c> they</c><00:43:45.480><c> went</c><00:43:45.679><c> back,</c><00:43:46.539><c> all</c><00:43:46.820><c> the</c><00:43:47.380><c> Jews</c><00:43:47.639><c> in</c><00:43:47.900><c> Jerusalem</c>

00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:49.559
say,<00:43:48.800><c> oh,</c><00:43:48.920><c> Jeremiah's</c><00:43:49.400><c> wrong.</c>

00:43:49.780 --> 00:43:51.159
After<00:43:49.900><c> all,</c><00:43:50.039><c> they've</c><00:43:50.340><c> gone.</c>

00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:52.599
Jeremiah<00:43:51.500><c> says,</c><00:43:51.699><c> don't</c><00:43:51.900><c> you</c><00:43:51.980><c> be</c><00:43:52.199><c> too</c><00:43:52.460><c> sure.</c>

00:43:52.619 --> 00:43:54.199
Don't<00:43:52.800><c> count</c><00:43:53.059><c> your</c><00:43:53.219><c> chickens</c><00:43:53.519><c> before</c><00:43:53.840><c> they</c><00:43:54.079><c> hatch.</c>

00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:55.840
They're<00:43:54.440><c> coming</c><00:43:54.739><c> back.</c>

00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:58.900
Of<00:43:56.099><c> course,</c><00:43:56.400><c> back</c><00:43:56.500><c> they</c><00:43:56.679><c> did</c><00:43:56.900><c> come,</c><00:43:57.159><c> and</c><00:43:57.360><c> eventually,</c>

00:43:59.099 --> 00:44:05.260
Jerusalem<00:43:59.539><c> fell</c><00:43:59.980><c> in</c><00:44:00.800><c> the</c><00:44:01.019><c> year</c><00:44:01.360><c> 587</c><00:44:03.400><c> or</c><00:44:03.820><c> 586.</c>

00:44:05.260 --> 00:44:08.179
In<00:44:06.119><c> that</c><00:44:06.280><c> very</c><00:44:06.480><c> year,</c><00:44:06.940><c> Jeremiah</c><00:44:07.219><c> showed</c><00:44:07.539><c> his</c><00:44:07.840><c> faith</c>

00:44:08.179 --> 00:44:10.780
in<00:44:08.739><c> ultimate</c><00:44:09.079><c> restoration</c><00:44:09.659><c> by</c><00:44:09.960><c> buying</c><00:44:10.159><c> a</c><00:44:10.440><c> field</c>

00:44:10.780 --> 00:44:12.659
just<00:44:11.099><c> outside</c><00:44:11.579><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:44:13.860 --> 00:44:16.519
Jeremiah<00:44:14.179><c> was</c><00:44:14.420><c> in</c><00:44:14.539><c> and</c><00:44:14.679><c> out</c><00:44:14.820><c> of</c><00:44:14.960><c> prison</c><00:44:15.139><c> all</c><00:44:15.360><c> the</c><00:44:15.579><c> time.</c>

00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:18.460
The<00:44:17.099><c> Babylonians</c><00:44:17.559><c> were</c><00:44:17.760><c> backwards</c><00:44:17.980><c> and</c><00:44:18.260><c> forwards,</c>

00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:20.579
but<00:44:18.659><c> at</c><00:44:18.840><c> last,</c><00:44:19.199><c> in</c><00:44:19.420><c> 586</c><00:44:20.199><c> BC,</c>

00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:22.460
Jerusalem<00:44:21.179><c> was</c><00:44:21.460><c> captured.</c>

00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:24.219
Jeremiah's<00:44:23.239><c> sons</c><00:44:23.460><c> were</c><00:44:23.760><c> slain,</c>

00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:25.900
his<00:44:24.639><c> eyes</c><00:44:24.920><c> were</c><00:44:25.139><c> put</c><00:44:25.380><c> out,</c>

00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:29.300
and<00:44:26.239><c> he</c><00:44:26.340><c> was</c><00:44:26.619><c> taken</c><00:44:26.960><c> blind</c><00:44:27.579><c> to</c><00:44:28.000><c> the</c><00:44:28.119><c> city</c><00:44:28.340><c> of</c><00:44:28.599><c> Babylon.</c>

00:44:29.579 --> 00:44:31.940
And<00:44:29.780><c> just</c><00:44:29.980><c> a</c><00:44:30.300><c> few</c><00:44:30.539><c> Jews</c><00:44:30.940><c> were</c><00:44:31.159><c> left</c><00:44:31.440><c> there</c>

00:44:31.940 --> 00:44:35.179
under<00:44:32.639><c> a</c><00:44:32.820><c> sort</c><00:44:33.000><c> of</c><00:44:33.219><c> governor</c><00:44:33.460><c> named</c><00:44:33.800><c> Gedaliah.</c>

00:44:35.260 --> 00:44:38.260
And<00:44:35.440><c> there</c><00:44:35.559><c> was</c><00:44:35.760><c> a</c><00:44:35.940><c> rotten</c><00:44:36.159><c> man</c><00:44:36.460><c> named</c><00:44:37.400><c> Ishmael.</c>

00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:42.860
You<00:44:38.619><c> read</c><00:44:38.800><c> about</c><00:44:39.019><c> this</c><00:44:39.239><c> in</c><00:44:39.460><c> 40,</c><00:44:39.900><c> 41,</c><00:44:40.340><c> 42,</c><00:44:40.840><c> 43,</c><00:44:41.420><c> 44</c><00:44:41.920><c> of</c><00:44:42.360><c> Jeremiah,</c>

00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:45.059
who<00:44:43.380><c> assassinated</c><00:44:44.099><c> Gedaliah.</c>

00:44:45.500 --> 00:44:47.960
And<00:44:45.639><c> all</c><00:44:45.820><c> the</c><00:44:46.000><c> Jews</c><00:44:46.219><c> that</c><00:44:46.719><c> remained</c><00:44:47.280><c> took</c><00:44:47.639><c> fright.</c>

00:44:48.079 --> 00:44:49.039
Jeremiah<00:44:48.360><c> says,</c><00:44:48.679><c> don't</c><00:44:48.760><c> worry.</c>

00:44:49.059 --> 00:44:49.840
You<00:44:49.260><c> just</c><00:44:49.500><c> stay</c><00:44:49.679><c> here.</c>

00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:51.139
It'll<00:44:50.000><c> be</c><00:44:50.179><c> all</c><00:44:50.340><c> right.</c>

00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:52.059
Oh,<00:44:51.800><c> no.</c>

00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:52.920
But<00:44:52.219><c> you</c><00:44:52.340><c> see,</c><00:44:52.420><c> the</c><00:44:52.500><c> trouble</c><00:44:52.699><c> was,</c>

00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:55.119
Jeremiah<00:44:53.340><c> didn't</c><00:44:53.519><c> get</c><00:44:53.679><c> an</c><00:44:53.900><c> answer</c><00:44:54.139><c> for</c><00:44:54.340><c> about</c><00:44:54.559><c> a</c><00:44:54.760><c> week,</c>

00:44:55.539 --> 00:44:57.079
and<00:44:55.659><c> they</c><00:44:55.780><c> got</c><00:44:55.960><c> impatient</c><00:44:56.400><c> during</c><00:44:56.719><c> that</c><00:44:56.940><c> week,</c>

00:44:57.099 --> 00:44:58.139
so<00:44:57.219><c> they</c><00:44:57.420><c> mobilized</c><00:44:57.840><c> themselves,</c>

00:44:58.159 --> 00:45:00.280
and<00:44:58.260><c> they</c><00:44:58.360><c> all</c><00:44:58.539><c> ran</c><00:44:58.719><c> down</c><00:44:59.000><c> to</c><00:44:59.300><c> Egypt.</c>

00:45:00.539 --> 00:45:03.000
And<00:45:00.860><c> that's</c><00:45:01.119><c> where</c><00:45:01.280><c> we</c><00:45:01.519><c> lose</c><00:45:01.739><c> sight</c><00:45:02.119><c> of</c><00:45:02.380><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:04.780
Still<00:45:03.780><c> saying,</c>

00:45:05.019 --> 00:45:07.179
why<00:45:05.219><c> is</c><00:45:05.539><c> it</c><00:45:05.739><c> that</c><00:45:06.019><c> down</c><00:45:06.320><c> here</c><00:45:06.619><c> in</c><00:45:06.840><c> Egypt</c>

00:45:07.179 --> 00:45:09.400
you<00:45:07.380><c> have</c><00:45:07.619><c> to</c><00:45:07.800><c> do</c><00:45:07.900><c> what</c><00:45:08.119><c> the</c><00:45:08.460><c> Egyptians</c><00:45:09.000><c> do?</c>

00:45:09.579 --> 00:45:11.599
Why<00:45:09.980><c> can't</c><00:45:10.380><c> you</c><00:45:10.679><c> stick</c><00:45:11.000><c> to</c><00:45:11.320><c> God,</c>

00:45:11.920 --> 00:45:13.500
even<00:45:12.320><c> though</c><00:45:12.559><c> you're</c><00:45:12.820><c> in</c><00:45:13.019><c> captivity?</c>

00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:15.500
You<00:45:14.019><c> haven't</c><00:45:14.260><c> got</c><00:45:14.500><c> a</c><00:45:14.739><c> temple</c><00:45:15.059><c> now,</c>

00:45:15.699 --> 00:45:18.880
but<00:45:15.900><c> you</c><00:45:16.159><c> could</c><00:45:16.460><c> have</c><00:45:16.900><c> God</c><00:45:17.260><c> dwelling</c><00:45:17.639><c> in</c><00:45:18.000><c> your</c><00:45:18.539><c> heart.</c>

00:45:18.940 --> 00:45:21.579
