But<00:22:51.619><c> that</c><00:22:51.779><c> means</c><00:22:52.019><c> man's</c><00:22:52.400><c> frustrated.</c>

00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:59.200
Because<00:22:54.359><c> he's</c><00:22:54.680><c> not</c><00:22:55.700><c> living</c><00:22:55.960><c> in</c><00:22:57.559><c> eternal</c><00:22:57.980><c> creation.</c>

00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:02.480
And<00:22:59.660><c> things</c><00:22:59.819><c> have</c><00:23:00.079><c> limitations</c><00:23:00.759><c> far,</c><00:23:01.380><c> far</c><00:23:01.680><c> more</c><00:23:01.940><c> constraining</c>

00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:04.019
than<00:23:02.660><c> his</c><00:23:02.920><c> imagination.</c>

00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:06.380
And<00:23:04.279><c> that</c><00:23:04.500><c> frustrates</c><00:23:05.019><c> him.</c>

00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:08.380
Well,<00:23:07.279><c> why</c><00:23:07.539><c> is</c><00:23:07.700><c> life</c><00:23:07.920><c> like</c><00:23:08.220><c> that?</c>

00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:10.500
Solomon<00:23:08.759><c> says</c><00:23:09.000><c> in</c><00:23:09.079><c> verse</c><00:23:09.279><c> 10,</c>

00:23:11.180 --> 00:23:13.319
why<00:23:11.680><c> are</c><00:23:12.180><c> we</c><00:23:12.359><c> going</c><00:23:12.539><c> through</c><00:23:12.839><c> this</c><00:23:13.079><c> travail?</c>

00:23:13.420 --> 00:23:14.640
What<00:23:13.599><c> is</c><00:23:13.779><c> the</c><00:23:14.039><c> point</c><00:23:14.259><c> of</c><00:23:14.440><c> this?</c>

00:23:15.019 --> 00:23:16.880
Oh<00:23:15.259><c> yes,</c><00:23:15.480><c> the</c><00:23:15.619><c> point</c><00:23:15.839><c> is</c><00:23:15.980><c> that</c><00:23:16.059><c> we're</c><00:23:16.200><c> created</c><00:23:16.519><c> like</c><00:23:16.740><c> that.</c>

00:23:16.940 --> 00:23:19.359
Why<00:23:17.240><c> are</c><00:23:17.579><c> we</c><00:23:17.779><c> created</c><00:23:18.200><c> like</c><00:23:18.539><c> that?</c>

00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:20.539
And<00:23:19.819><c> here's</c><00:23:19.960><c> the</c><00:23:20.119><c> answer.</c>

00:23:20.539 --> 00:23:21.880
I'll<00:23:21.279><c> read</c><00:23:21.400><c> it</c><00:23:21.599><c> to</c><00:23:21.680><c> you.</c>

00:23:22.180 --> 00:23:25.039
Acts<00:23:22.180><c> 17,</c><00:23:23.559><c> verses</c><00:23:23.700><c> 26</c><00:23:24.400><c> and</c><00:23:24.640><c> 27.</c>

00:23:25.299 --> 00:23:27.240
Take<00:23:25.380><c> a</c><00:23:25.519><c> note</c><00:23:25.619><c> of</c><00:23:25.700><c> it</c><00:23:25.859><c> because</c><00:23:26.039><c> it's</c><00:23:26.259><c> a</c><00:23:26.319><c> very</c><00:23:26.460><c> good</c><00:23:26.660><c> verse.</c>

00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:28.400
Or<00:23:27.720><c> a</c><00:23:27.880><c> pair</c><00:23:27.880><c> of</c><00:23:28.039><c> verses.</c>

00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:31.299
Acts<00:23:28.839><c> 17,</c><00:23:29.319><c> verses</c><00:23:29.440><c> 26</c><00:23:29.940><c> and</c><00:23:30.140><c> 27.</c>

00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:35.380
God<00:23:32.079><c> has</c><00:23:32.460><c> made</c><00:23:32.720><c> of</c><00:23:32.940><c> one</c><00:23:33.200><c> blood</c><00:23:33.859><c> all</c><00:23:34.440><c> nations</c><00:23:34.859><c> of</c><00:23:35.119><c> men,</c>

00:23:35.579 --> 00:23:37.440
for<00:23:35.579><c> to</c><00:23:35.799><c> dwell</c><00:23:35.940><c> on</c><00:23:36.180><c> all</c><00:23:36.420><c> the</c><00:23:36.640><c> face</c><00:23:36.819><c> of</c><00:23:37.000><c> the</c><00:23:37.160><c> earth,</c>

00:23:37.779 --> 00:23:41.400
and<00:23:38.079><c> has</c><00:23:38.400><c> determined</c><00:23:39.059><c> the</c><00:23:39.819><c> times</c><00:23:40.319><c> before</c><00:23:40.819><c> appointed</c>

00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:43.799
and<00:23:42.140><c> the</c><00:23:42.480><c> bounds</c><00:23:42.700><c> of</c><00:23:42.900><c> their</c><00:23:43.079><c> habitation.</c>

00:23:44.140 --> 00:23:45.160
Why?

00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:47.440
That<00:23:46.019><c> they</c><00:23:46.259><c> should</c><00:23:46.480><c> seek</c><00:23:46.779><c> the</c><00:23:47.000><c> Lord,</c>

00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:52.599
if<00:23:48.400><c> happily</c><00:23:48.720><c> they</c><00:23:48.940><c> might</c><00:23:49.160><c> reach</c><00:23:49.500><c> out</c><00:23:49.740><c> to</c><00:23:49.839><c> Him</c><00:23:50.299><c> and</c><00:23:51.039><c> find</c><00:23:51.359><c> Him.</c>

00:23:52.859 --> 00:23:54.700
We've<00:23:53.039><c> got</c><00:23:53.240><c> eternity</c><00:23:53.660><c> in</c><00:23:53.839><c> our</c><00:23:54.099><c> hearts,</c>

00:23:55.019 --> 00:23:57.960
so<00:23:55.240><c> that</c><00:23:55.440><c> we</c><00:23:55.619><c> will</c><00:23:56.220><c> seek</c><00:23:56.799><c> God.</c>

00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:00.140
He's<00:23:59.200><c> an</c><00:23:59.359><c> eternal</c><00:23:59.619><c> being.</c>

00:24:00.619 --> 00:24:02.259
He<00:24:00.799><c> relies</c><00:24:01.079><c> upon</c><00:24:01.420><c> eternal</c><00:24:01.779><c> principles.</c>

00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.480
We<00:24:02.700><c> have</c><00:24:03.019><c> to</c><00:24:03.200><c> be</c><00:24:03.279><c> able</c><00:24:03.440><c> to</c><00:24:03.640><c> appreciate</c><00:24:03.960><c> those</c><00:24:04.279><c> things.</c>

00:24:04.539 --> 00:24:07.359
That's<00:24:04.900><c> why</c><00:24:05.220><c> we</c><00:24:05.400><c> are</c><00:24:05.619><c> created</c><00:24:06.019><c> like</c><00:24:06.380><c> this.</c>

00:24:07.420 --> 00:24:08.700
The<00:24:07.599><c> same</c><00:24:07.740><c> in</c><00:24:07.920><c> verse</c><00:24:08.119><c> 14.</c>

00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:10.519
I<00:24:09.039><c> know</c><00:24:09.259><c> that</c><00:24:09.480><c> whatsoever</c><00:24:09.859><c> God</c><00:24:10.240><c> doeth,</c>

00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:13.400
it<00:24:10.799><c> shall</c><00:24:11.019><c> be</c><00:24:11.359><c> for</c><00:24:11.680><c> eternity,</c><00:24:12.440><c> forever.</c>

00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:15.480
Nothing<00:24:13.720><c> can</c><00:24:13.920><c> be</c><00:24:14.079><c> put</c><00:24:14.279><c> to</c><00:24:14.460><c> it</c><00:24:14.599><c> or</c><00:24:14.779><c> taken</c><00:24:15.019><c> away.</c>

00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:20.559
God<00:24:16.180><c> doeth</c><00:24:16.480><c> it</c><00:24:16.720><c> that</c><00:24:17.059><c> men</c><00:24:17.599><c> should</c><00:24:18.119><c> fear</c><00:24:18.619><c> before</c><00:24:19.440><c> Him.</c>

00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:22.960
So<00:24:21.380><c> we're</c><00:24:21.640><c> created</c><00:24:21.940><c> like</c><00:24:22.200><c> this,</c><00:24:22.380><c> you</c><00:24:22.599><c> see,</c>

00:24:23.460 --> 00:24:25.680
to<00:24:23.640><c> be</c><00:24:23.779><c> able</c><00:24:23.920><c> to</c><00:24:24.160><c> appreciate</c><00:24:24.660><c> spiritual</c><00:24:25.180><c> things.</c>

00:24:25.779 --> 00:24:28.079
If<00:24:25.880><c> it</c><00:24:26.059><c> wasn't</c><00:24:26.359><c> for</c><00:24:26.660><c> this</c><00:24:26.880><c> feeling,</c>

00:24:28.619 --> 00:24:30.440
none<00:24:28.660><c> of</c><00:24:28.700><c> us</c><00:24:28.819><c> would</c><00:24:28.960><c> ever</c><00:24:29.200><c> seek</c><00:24:29.380><c> God.</c>

00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:32.539
There<00:24:31.460><c> would</c><00:24:31.640><c> be</c><00:24:31.880><c> no</c><00:24:32.140><c> religion.</c>

00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:35.359
We<00:24:32.720><c> would</c><00:24:32.940><c> be</c><00:24:33.380><c> just</c><00:24:33.779><c> like</c><00:24:34.059><c> the</c><00:24:34.279><c> brute</c><00:24:34.440><c> beasts.</c>

00:24:35.460 --> 00:24:38.039
We<00:24:35.680><c> would</c><00:24:35.880><c> be</c><00:24:36.079><c> brute</c><00:24:36.380><c> beasts,</c><00:24:36.859><c> wouldn't</c><00:24:37.000><c> we?</c>

00:24:38.339 --> 00:24:41.019
But<00:24:38.740><c> there's</c><00:24:38.900><c> a</c><00:24:39.079><c> balance</c><00:24:39.220><c> in</c><00:24:39.460><c> creation,</c><00:24:39.740><c> you</c><00:24:40.079><c> see.</c>

00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.920
If<00:24:42.059><c> everything</c><00:24:42.339><c> always</c><00:24:42.920><c> went</c><00:24:43.299><c> man's</c><00:24:43.839><c> way</c><00:24:44.259><c> in</c><00:24:44.859><c> life,</c>

00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:48.400
he'd<00:24:46.460><c> be</c><00:24:46.640><c> so</c><00:24:46.859><c> free</c><00:24:47.140><c> from</c><00:24:47.440><c> trial</c>

00:24:48.450 --> 00:24:50.059
that<00:24:48.700><c> he'd</c><00:24:48.799><c> never</c><00:24:49.019><c> ever</c><00:24:49.220><c> pursue</c><00:24:49.519><c> religion.</c>

00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:51.140
Not<00:24:50.519><c> that</c><00:24:50.660><c> he</c><00:24:50.799><c> couldn't,</c>

00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:52.539
he<00:24:51.400><c> just</c><00:24:51.599><c> would</c><00:24:51.700><c> never</c><00:24:51.859><c> be</c><00:24:52.079><c> moved</c><00:24:52.359><c> to,</c>

00:24:52.539 --> 00:24:53.859
because<00:24:52.880><c> he</c><00:24:53.160><c> would</c><00:24:53.240><c> have</c><00:24:53.359><c> no</c><00:24:53.619><c> need.</c>

00:24:53.859 --> 00:24:56.099
He<00:24:53.980><c> could</c><00:24:54.160><c> solve</c><00:24:54.319><c> all</c><00:24:54.519><c> his</c><00:24:54.720><c> problems</c><00:24:55.059><c> himself.</c>

00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:57.440
By<00:24:56.880><c> the</c><00:24:57.039><c> same</c><00:24:57.200><c> token,</c>

00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:00.019
if<00:24:57.660><c> nothing</c><00:24:57.920><c> ever</c><00:24:58.259><c> went</c><00:24:58.539><c> well</c><00:24:58.839><c> for</c><00:24:59.099><c> man,</c>

00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:01.480
and<00:25:00.240><c> he</c><00:25:00.279><c> was</c><00:25:00.539><c> continually</c><00:25:00.920><c> frustrated,</c>

00:25:01.539 --> 00:25:02.420
he'd<00:25:01.759><c> become</c><00:25:01.960><c> depressed,</c>

00:25:02.500 --> 00:25:03.259
he'd<00:25:02.700><c> become</c><00:25:02.920><c> bitter,</c>

00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:04.980
and<00:25:03.759><c> he'd</c><00:25:04.019><c> never</c><00:25:04.200><c> pursue</c><00:25:04.559><c> religion,</c>

00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:07.480
because<00:25:05.460><c> what</c><00:25:06.059><c> would</c><00:25:06.240><c> be</c><00:25:06.380><c> the</c><00:25:06.539><c> point?</c>

00:25:07.819 --> 00:25:10.480
And<00:25:08.299><c> therefore</c><00:25:08.619><c> God</c><00:25:08.920><c> gives</c><00:25:09.160><c> man</c><00:25:09.400><c> influence,</c>

00:25:10.660 --> 00:25:12.839
but<00:25:10.740><c> He</c><00:25:10.859><c> doesn't</c><00:25:11.140><c> give</c><00:25:11.319><c> him</c><00:25:11.519><c> control,</c>

00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:14.579
doesn't<00:25:13.839><c> He?</c>

00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:16.200
We've<00:25:14.859><c> got</c><00:25:15.019><c> influence,</c><00:25:15.619><c> brothers</c><00:25:15.799><c> and</c><00:25:15.980><c> sisters,</c>

00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:17.180
but<00:25:16.500><c> we</c><00:25:16.599><c> don't</c><00:25:16.759><c> have</c><00:25:16.940><c> control,</c>

00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:18.700

00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:22.180
but<00:25:19.319><c> we've</c><00:25:19.599><c> got</c><00:25:19.819><c> some</c><00:25:20.119><c> variation</c><00:25:20.579><c> within</c><00:25:20.940><c> those</c><00:25:21.259><c> limits.</c>

00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:23.579
The<00:25:22.859><c> taste,</c><00:25:23.140><c> if</c><00:25:23.279><c> you</c><00:25:23.380><c> like,</c>

00:25:24.779 --> 00:25:27.119
And<00:25:25.000><c> that's</c><00:25:25.319><c> how</c><00:25:25.559><c> life</c><00:25:25.839><c> is,</c>

00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:29.819
that<00:25:27.599><c> man</c><00:25:27.819><c> might</c><00:25:28.140><c> seek</c><00:25:28.380><c> Him</c><00:25:28.640><c> as</c><00:25:28.839><c> access.</c>

00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:32.000
That's<00:25:30.940><c> the</c><00:25:31.039><c> purpose</c><00:25:31.259><c> of</c><00:25:31.420><c> our</c><00:25:31.559><c> creation,</c>

00:25:32.380 --> 00:25:34.160

00:25:34.859 --> 00:25:38.319
That's<00:25:35.740><c> why</c><00:25:36.099><c> the</c><00:25:36.359><c> world</c><00:25:36.640><c> is</c><00:25:36.779><c> what</c><00:25:36.920><c> it</c><00:25:37.079><c> is.</c>

00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:40.839
And<00:25:38.500><c> therefore</c><00:25:38.819><c> Solomon</c><00:25:39.140><c> concludes</c><00:25:39.720><c> in</c><00:25:39.960><c> verse</c><00:25:40.180><c> 12.</c>

00:25:40.940 --> 00:25:42.359
Well,<00:25:41.140><c> he</c><00:25:41.339><c> says,</c>

00:25:53.380 --> 00:25:55.960
because<00:25:53.720><c> it</c><00:25:53.980><c> is</c><00:25:54.220><c> the</c><00:25:54.480><c> gift</c><00:25:54.839><c> of</c><00:25:55.140><c> God.</c>

00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:59.240
There<00:25:56.480><c> is</c><00:25:56.720><c> nothing</c><00:25:57.019><c> better</c><00:25:57.480><c> for</c><00:25:57.759><c> a</c><00:25:57.940><c> man,</c><00:25:58.119><c> he</c><00:25:58.400><c> says,</c>

00:26:02.259 --> 00:26:04.859
And<00:26:03.259><c> that's</c><00:26:03.519><c> the</c><00:26:03.680><c> point,</c><00:26:04.000><c> isn't</c><00:26:04.079><c> it?</c>

00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:07.579
This<00:26:05.539><c> life</c><00:26:05.940><c> will</c><00:26:06.259><c> not</c><00:26:06.680><c> give</c><00:26:07.000><c> you</c>

00:26:09.500 --> 00:26:11.259
It's<00:26:09.740><c> not</c><00:26:09.960><c> designed</c><00:26:10.420><c> to.</c>

00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:12.220
It's<00:26:11.539><c> not</c><00:26:11.660><c> designed</c><00:26:12.079><c> to.</c>

00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:13.119
It's<00:26:12.400><c> only</c><00:26:12.740><c> designed,</c>

00:26:13.380 --> 00:26:15.759
God<00:26:13.660><c> only</c><00:26:14.220><c> promises</c><00:26:14.660><c> temporal</c><00:26:15.220><c> rewards</c>

Realize<00:26:22.359><c> it.</c>

00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:23.440
Come<00:26:22.740><c> to</c><00:26:22.920><c> grips</c><00:26:23.079><c> with</c><00:26:23.299><c> that.</c>

where<00:33:50.460><c> John</c><00:33:52.039><c> says</c><00:33:52.339><c> that</c><00:33:52.559><c> Christ</c><00:33:52.960><c> knew</c><00:33:54.180><c> what</c><00:33:54.940><c> was</c><00:33:55.240><c> in</c><00:33:55.440><c> man.</c>

That's<00:34:04.319><c> what</c><00:34:04.420><c> it's</c><00:34:04.619><c> saying.</c>

00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:07.259
There's<00:34:05.480><c> no</c><00:34:05.680><c> mystery</c><00:34:05.980><c> about</c><00:34:06.180><c> it</c><00:34:06.319><c> whatsoever.</c>

00:34:32.659 --> 00:34:36.579
Concluding<00:34:33.099><c> of</c><00:34:33.280><c> course</c><00:34:34.079><c> exactly</c><00:34:34.840><c> the</c><00:34:35.059><c> same</c><00:34:35.280><c> way</c><00:34:35.420><c> in</c><00:34:35.579><c> chapter</c><00:34:35.840><c> 3</c>

00:42:51.780 --> 00:42:53.500
It's<00:42:52.059><c> too</c><00:42:52.440><c> hard.</c>

00:42:53.800 --> 00:42:54.480
It's<00:42:53.960><c> too</c><00:42:54.300><c> hard.</c>
