00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:21.599

00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:17.079
Now<00:06:15.319><c> you</c><00:06:15.399><c> know</c><00:06:15.560><c> the</c><00:06:15.699><c> story</c><00:06:15.980><c> pretty</c><00:06:16.300><c> well,</c><00:06:16.459><c> so</c><00:06:16.620><c> we</c><00:06:16.680><c> don't</c><00:06:16.899><c> need</c>

00:06:31.019 --> 00:06:34.160
How<00:06:31.100><c> old</c><00:06:31.339><c> are</c><00:06:31.459><c> they?</c><00:06:32.560><c> We</c><00:06:32.639><c> have</c><00:06:32.800><c> a</c><00:06:32.819><c> look</c><00:06:33.019><c> at</c><00:06:33.120><c> what</c><00:06:33.279><c> it</c><00:06:33.279><c> says</c><00:06:33.879><c> in</c>

00:06:36.699 --> 00:06:40.019
And<00:06:36.800><c> Joseph</c><00:06:37.220><c> brought</c><00:06:37.720><c> them</c><00:06:38.040><c> out</c><00:06:38.399><c> from</c><00:06:38.600><c> between</c><00:06:38.959><c> his</c><00:06:39.319><c> knees,</c>

00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.459
Well,<00:06:45.759><c> it</c><00:06:45.959><c> suggests</c><00:06:46.139><c> they're</c><00:06:46.259><c> quite</c><00:06:46.560><c> small,</c><00:06:47.339><c> doesn't</c><00:06:47.600><c> it?</c>

00:06:48.540 --> 00:06:50.319
Well,<00:06:48.819><c> forget</c><00:06:49.120><c> it.</c>

00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:54.899
I<00:06:50.600><c> mean,</c><00:06:51.680><c> Manasseh</c><00:06:51.779><c> was</c><00:06:52.019><c> probably</c><00:06:52.519><c> 21</c><00:06:53.060><c> or</c><00:06:53.360><c> 22</c><00:06:53.899><c> years</c><00:06:54.259><c> of</c><00:06:54.439><c> age,</c>

00:06:56.420 --> 00:06:59.879
So<00:06:56.959><c> these</c><00:06:57.199><c> are</c><00:06:57.519><c> fully</c><00:06:57.959><c> grown</c><00:06:58.879><c> men.</c>

00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:03.500
Now<00:07:00.000><c> the</c><00:07:00.019><c> reason</c><00:07:00.319><c> for</c><00:07:00.519><c> that</c><00:07:00.800><c> statement</c><00:07:01.279><c> is</c><00:07:01.800><c> that</c><00:07:02.399><c> Joseph</c><00:07:02.899><c> is</c>

00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:12.600
Joseph<00:07:08.540><c> is</c><00:07:08.920><c> determined</c><00:07:09.680><c> that</c><00:07:10.720><c> Manasseh</c><00:07:11.240><c> the</c><00:07:11.439><c> firstborn</c><00:07:12.100><c> will</c>

00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.379
And<00:07:15.959><c> we're</c><00:07:16.060><c> going</c><00:07:16.160><c> to</c><00:07:16.199><c> see</c><00:07:16.360><c> how</c><00:07:16.519><c> he</c><00:07:16.860><c> choreographs</c><00:07:17.560><c> it</c><00:07:17.720><c> to</c><00:07:17.819><c> ensure</c><00:07:18.160><c> that</c><00:07:18.459><c> happens.</c>

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.000
And<00:07:20.220><c> that's</c><00:07:20.399><c> why</c><00:07:20.620><c> when</c><00:07:20.779><c> you</c><00:07:21.040><c> read</c><00:07:21.240><c> in</c><00:07:21.420><c> verse</c><00:07:21.680><c> 1</c><00:07:22.060><c> that</c><00:07:22.180><c> he</c><00:07:22.319><c> brings</c><00:07:22.740><c> with</c>

So<00:10:09.159><c> he</c><00:10:09.279><c> carries</c><00:10:09.600><c> on</c><00:10:10.120><c> with</c><00:10:10.320><c> his</c><00:10:10.759><c> choreographing.</c>

00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:14.039
Now<00:10:11.879><c> have</c><00:10:11.980><c> a</c><00:10:12.100><c> look</c><00:10:12.179><c> at</c><00:10:12.340><c> what</c><00:10:12.340><c> happens,</c><00:10:12.720><c> verse</c><00:10:12.960><c> 13.</c>

00:10:14.899 --> 00:10:17.580
And<00:10:15.039><c> Joseph</c><00:10:15.379><c> took</c><00:10:15.620><c> them</c><00:10:15.899><c> both,</c><00:10:16.340><c> Ephraim</c><00:10:16.679><c> in</c><00:10:16.779><c> his</c><00:10:17.000><c> right</c><00:10:17.299><c> hand</c>

00:10:17.580 --> 00:10:19.679
towards<00:10:17.940><c> Israel's</c><00:10:18.519><c> left</c><00:10:18.919><c> hand,</c>

00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:25.679
and<00:10:20.240><c> Manasseh</c><00:10:22.519><c> in</c><00:10:22.779><c> his</c><00:10:22.940><c> left</c><00:10:23.360><c> hand</c><00:10:23.600><c> towards</c><00:10:23.879><c> Israel's</c><00:10:24.440><c> right</c><00:10:24.799><c> hand,</c>

00:10:25.700 --> 00:10:27.360
and<00:10:25.899><c> brought</c><00:10:26.120><c> them</c><00:10:26.419><c> near</c><00:10:26.639><c> unto</c><00:10:26.879><c> him.</c>

00:10:27.500 --> 00:10:29.059
So<00:10:27.620><c> this</c><00:10:27.740><c> is</c><00:10:27.899><c> why</c><00:10:28.059><c> this</c><00:10:28.279><c> picture's</c><00:10:28.720><c> up</c><00:10:28.879><c> here.</c>

00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:33.620
It<00:10:29.200><c> looks</c><00:10:32.460><c> a</c><00:10:32.700><c> little</c><00:10:32.899><c> bit</c><00:10:33.039><c> like</c><00:10:33.100><c> people,</c><00:10:33.440><c> doesn't</c><00:10:33.620><c> it?</c>

00:10:33.620 --> 00:10:35.620
Looking<00:10:33.779><c> down</c><00:10:34.120><c> from</c><00:10:34.620><c> up</c><00:10:34.820><c> top.</c>

00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.200
So<00:10:35.919><c> you've</c><00:10:36.059><c> got</c><00:10:36.200><c> Jacob</c><00:10:36.559><c> here,</c><00:10:36.779><c> the</c><00:10:36.879><c> old</c><00:10:37.179><c> man,</c><00:10:37.399><c> you've</c><00:10:37.519><c> got</c><00:10:37.679><c> Joseph.</c>

00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:40.440
He's<00:10:38.899><c> got</c><00:10:39.019><c> his</c><00:10:39.279><c> two</c><00:10:39.519><c> boys.</c>

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:42.580
So<00:10:41.200><c> he's</c><00:10:41.679><c> choreographing</c><00:10:42.299><c> it.</c>

00:10:42.700 --> 00:10:47.179
He<00:10:42.860><c> puts</c><00:10:43.139><c> the</c><00:10:43.399><c> younger</c><00:10:43.700><c> one,</c><00:10:44.279><c> Ephraim,</c><00:10:45.340><c> at</c><00:10:45.519><c> Joseph's</c><00:10:46.299><c> right</c><00:10:46.659><c> hand,</c>

00:10:47.179 --> 00:10:52.279
so<00:10:47.519><c> that</c><00:10:47.779><c> he</c><00:10:47.840><c> will</c><00:10:48.179><c> appear</c><00:10:48.519><c> directly</c><00:10:49.220><c> opposite</c><00:10:50.320><c> Jacob's</c><00:10:51.120><c> left</c><00:10:51.419><c> hand.</c>

00:10:53.139 --> 00:10:57.200
And<00:10:53.259><c> he</c><00:10:53.360><c> puts</c><00:10:53.659><c> the</c><00:10:53.879><c> older</c><00:10:54.100><c> boy,</c><00:10:54.639><c> Manasseh,</c><00:10:54.980><c> at</c><00:10:55.200><c> his</c><00:10:55.500><c> left</c><00:10:55.940><c> hand,</c>

00:10:57.620 --> 00:11:01.679
so<00:10:58.139><c> he</c><00:10:58.659><c> will</c><00:10:58.940><c> appear</c><00:10:59.200><c> directly</c><00:10:59.679><c> opposite</c><00:11:00.100><c> Jacob's</c><00:11:01.000><c> right</c><00:11:01.340><c> hand.</c>

00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:04.360
Now<00:11:02.299><c> the</c><00:11:02.419><c> right</c><00:11:02.720><c> hand,</c><00:11:02.919><c> of</c><00:11:03.080><c> course,</c><00:11:03.419><c> in</c><00:11:03.559><c> Scripture,</c><00:11:03.940><c> speaks</c>

00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:07.720
of<00:11:04.500><c> the</c><00:11:04.639><c> hand</c><00:11:04.899><c> of</c><00:11:05.379><c> authority</c><00:11:06.019><c> and</c><00:11:06.720><c> power.</c>

00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:10.820
The<00:11:08.399><c> left</c><00:11:08.779><c> hand,</c><00:11:09.179><c> sorry</c><00:11:09.480><c> if</c><00:11:09.600><c> anyone</c><00:11:09.899><c> here</c><00:11:10.059><c> is</c><00:11:10.179><c> a</c><00:11:10.399><c> left</c><00:11:10.580><c>-hander.</c>

00:11:11.299 --> 00:11:13.559
I<00:11:11.559><c> was</c><00:11:11.779><c> born</c><00:11:12.000><c> that</c><00:11:12.220><c> way,</c><00:11:12.360><c> they</c><00:11:12.580><c> tell</c><00:11:12.720><c> me,</c><00:11:12.879><c> but</c><00:11:13.080><c> they</c><00:11:13.299><c> insisted</c>

00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:14.759
I<00:11:13.820><c> use</c><00:11:14.159><c> my</c><00:11:14.399><c> right</c><00:11:14.620><c> hand,</c>

00:11:14.820 --> 00:11:16.360
so<00:11:14.899><c> I'm</c><00:11:15.080><c> ambidextrous.</c>

00:11:16.500 --> 00:11:21.039
Left<00:11:17.019><c> hand</c><00:11:17.440><c> in</c><00:11:17.580><c> the</c><00:11:17.820><c> Scripture</c><00:11:18.120><c> is</c><00:11:18.419><c> the</c><00:11:18.480><c> hand</c><00:11:18.799><c> of</c><00:11:19.059><c> mortal</c><00:11:19.340><c> weakness,</c><00:11:19.820><c> I'm</c><00:11:20.100><c> sorry.</c>

00:11:21.299 --> 00:11:22.159
But<00:11:21.320><c> that's</c><00:11:21.480><c> what</c><00:11:21.679><c> it</c><00:11:21.720><c> is.</c>

00:11:22.539 --> 00:11:24.779
So<00:11:22.679><c> the</c><00:11:22.759><c> left</c><00:11:23.059><c> hand</c><00:11:23.200><c> is</c><00:11:23.340><c> mortal</c><00:11:23.620><c> weakness,</c><00:11:24.159><c> the</c><00:11:24.240><c> right</c><00:11:24.580><c> hand</c>

00:11:24.779 --> 00:11:27.419
is<00:11:24.940><c> the</c><00:11:25.019><c> hand</c><00:11:25.299><c> of</c><00:11:25.519><c> authority</c><00:11:26.039><c> and</c><00:11:26.399><c> power.</c>

00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:29.879
So<00:11:27.899><c> you</c><00:11:28.019><c> see</c><00:11:28.200><c> what</c><00:11:28.399><c> Joseph's</c><00:11:28.799><c> doing,</c><00:11:29.399><c> aren't</c><00:11:29.580><c> you?</c>

00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:32.799
He's<00:11:30.700><c> got</c><00:11:30.820><c> this</c><00:11:31.159><c> carefully</c><00:11:31.519><c> worked</c><00:11:31.860><c> out.</c>

00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:34.480
And<00:11:33.120><c> his</c><00:11:33.340><c> father's</c><00:11:33.700><c> going</c><00:11:33.799><c> to</c><00:11:33.960><c> disappoint</c><00:11:34.320><c> him.</c>

00:11:34.580 --> 00:11:36.220
See<00:11:34.639><c> what</c><00:11:34.740><c> it</c><00:11:34.820><c> says</c><00:11:35.019><c> in</c><00:11:35.139><c> verse</c><00:11:35.340><c> 14?</c>

00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.480
And<00:11:37.200><c> Israel</c><00:11:37.600><c> stretched</c><00:11:37.980><c> out</c><00:11:38.220><c> his</c><00:11:38.399><c> right</c><00:11:38.740><c> hand</c><00:11:39.000><c> and</c><00:11:39.200><c> laid</c><00:11:39.340><c> it</c>

00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:40.960
upon<00:11:39.759><c> Ephraim's</c><00:11:40.659><c> head,</c>

00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.940
who<00:11:41.559><c> was</c><00:11:41.779><c> the</c><00:11:41.980><c> younger,</c><00:11:42.500><c> and</c><00:11:42.860><c> his</c><00:11:43.039><c> left</c><00:11:43.399><c> hand</c><00:11:43.580><c> upon</c><00:11:43.840><c> Manasseh's</c><00:11:44.639><c> head.</c>

00:11:44.940 --> 00:11:46.639
Now<00:11:45.639><c> was</c><00:11:45.799><c> this</c><00:11:46.000><c> a</c><00:11:46.100><c> mistake?</c>

00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:48.720
Was<00:11:47.320><c> he</c><00:11:47.519><c> half</c><00:11:47.779><c>-blind</c><00:11:48.179><c> or</c><00:11:48.299><c> whatever?</c>

00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:49.919
No.

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.419
We<00:11:50.139><c> know</c><00:11:50.279><c> this</c><00:11:50.419><c> was</c><00:11:50.559><c> his</c><00:11:50.679><c> greatest</c><00:11:51.039><c> act</c><00:11:51.279><c> of</c><00:11:51.559><c> faith.</c>

00:11:52.779 --> 00:11:54.200
He<00:11:52.860><c> does</c><00:11:53.100><c> this</c><00:11:53.340><c> quite</c><00:11:53.639><c> deliberately.</c>

00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:56.299
Now<00:11:54.779><c> it</c><00:11:54.779><c> wouldn't</c><00:11:54.960><c> have</c><00:11:55.120><c> been</c><00:11:55.240><c> easy</c><00:11:55.500><c> for</c><00:11:55.700><c> a</c><00:11:55.779><c> man</c><00:11:55.899><c> who's</c><00:11:56.059><c> about</c>

00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:13.279
He's<00:12:10.919><c> sort</c><00:12:11.100><c> of</c><00:12:11.299><c> all</c><00:12:12.379><c> tangled</c><00:12:12.840><c> up.</c>

00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:15.399
And<00:12:14.139><c> Joseph's</c><00:12:14.539><c> not</c><00:12:14.639><c> very</c><00:12:14.940><c> happy.</c>

00:12:15.700 --> 00:12:16.580
What<00:12:15.919><c> happens</c><00:12:16.320><c> here?</c>

00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:19.200
Come<00:12:16.879><c> down</c><00:12:17.179><c> to</c><00:12:17.299><c> verse</c><00:12:17.720><c> 17.</c>

00:12:19.379 --> 00:12:23.100
And<00:12:19.480><c> when</c><00:12:19.679><c> Joseph</c><00:12:20.059><c> saw</c><00:12:20.340><c> that</c><00:12:20.539><c> his</c><00:12:20.779><c> father</c><00:12:21.000><c> laid</c><00:12:21.240><c> his</c><00:12:21.440><c> right</c><00:12:21.740><c> hand</c><00:12:21.940><c> upon</c><00:12:22.200><c> the</c><00:12:22.340><c> head</c><00:12:22.480><c> of</c><00:12:22.659><c> Ephraim,</c>

00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:28.659
So<00:12:26.940><c> he</c><00:12:27.080><c> grabs</c><00:12:27.379><c> hold</c><00:12:27.700><c> of</c><00:12:27.899><c> Jacob's</c><00:12:28.440><c> hand.</c>

00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:30.519
He<00:12:29.259><c> says,</c><00:12:29.399><c> no</c><00:12:29.580><c> dad,</c><00:12:30.000><c> no,</c><00:12:30.139><c> no,</c><00:12:30.279><c> no.</c>

00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:33.080
You've<00:12:31.340><c> got</c><00:12:31.419><c> the</c><00:12:31.600><c> hand</c><00:12:31.759><c> on</c><00:12:31.879><c> the</c><00:12:32.039><c> wrong</c><00:12:32.240><c> head.</c>

00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:35.320
But<00:12:33.679><c> Jacob</c><00:12:33.820><c> says,</c><00:12:34.139><c> leave</c><00:12:34.200><c> me</c><00:12:34.480><c> alone.</c>

00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.759
You<00:12:36.059><c> leave</c><00:12:36.440><c> me</c><00:12:36.940><c> alone.</c>

00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.220
I<00:12:38.340><c> know</c><00:12:38.659><c> exactly</c><00:12:39.399><c> what</c><00:12:39.639><c> I'm</c><00:12:39.860><c> doing,</c><00:12:40.240><c> my</c><00:12:40.500><c> son.</c>

00:12:41.379 --> 00:12:45.120
So<00:12:41.940><c> you</c><00:12:42.080><c> read</c><00:12:42.299><c> on</c><00:12:42.440><c> in</c><00:12:42.559><c> the</c><00:12:42.639><c> record,</c><00:12:43.379><c> verse</c><00:12:43.820><c> 18.</c>

00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.240
Joseph<00:12:45.720><c> said,</c><00:12:46.220><c> not</c><00:12:46.340><c> so,</c><00:12:46.720><c> my</c><00:12:46.879><c> father,</c><00:12:47.120><c> for</c><00:12:47.259><c> this</c><00:12:47.500><c> is</c><00:12:47.700><c> the</c><00:12:47.840><c> firstborn,</c>

00:12:50.139 --> 00:12:53.860
And<00:12:50.240><c> his</c><00:12:50.480><c> father</c><00:12:50.840><c> refused</c><00:12:51.419><c> and</c><00:12:51.679><c> said,</c><00:12:52.259><c> I</c><00:12:52.559><c> know</c><00:12:52.779><c> it,</c><00:12:52.980><c> my</c><00:12:53.220><c> son,</c><00:12:53.659><c> I</c>

00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:54.879
know<00:12:54.100><c> it.</c>

00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:58.899
He,<00:12:56.539><c> and</c><00:12:56.720><c> he</c><00:12:56.899><c> means</c><00:12:57.179><c> by</c><00:12:57.480><c> this</c><00:12:57.879><c> Manasseh,</c>

he,<00:12:59.860><c> Manasseh</c><00:13:00.360><c> also,</c><00:13:00.879><c> shall</c><00:13:01.019><c> become</c><00:13:01.340><c> a</c><00:13:01.559><c> people,</c><00:13:02.659><c> and</c><00:13:02.779><c> he</c><00:13:03.000><c> shall</c><00:13:03.179><c> be</c><00:13:03.460><c> great.</c>

00:13:04.539 --> 00:13:09.799
But<00:13:04.879><c> truly</c><00:13:05.360><c> his</c><00:13:05.799><c> younger</c><00:13:06.259><c> brother</c><00:13:07.139><c> shall</c><00:13:07.860><c> be</c><00:13:08.279><c> greater</c><00:13:08.600><c> than</c><00:13:08.899><c> he.</c>

00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:13.139
Ephraim,<00:13:10.679><c> the</c><00:13:10.840><c> younger</c><00:13:11.200><c> one,</c><00:13:11.919><c> this</c><00:13:11.980><c> is</c><00:13:12.159><c> why</c><00:13:12.259><c> I've</c><00:13:12.399><c> got</c><00:13:12.460><c> my</c><00:13:12.639><c> right</c><00:13:12.899><c> hand</c><00:13:13.019><c> on</c>

00:13:17.019 --> 00:13:17.519
Why?

00:13:17.779 --> 00:13:19.600
Well,<00:13:18.039><c> he</c><00:13:18.120><c> gives</c><00:13:18.340><c> you</c><00:13:18.580><c> the</c><00:13:18.740><c> reason.</c>

00:13:19.820 --> 00:13:22.700
There<00:13:20.059><c> is</c><00:13:20.259><c> the</c><00:13:20.399><c> reason</c><00:13:20.600><c> at</c><00:13:20.820><c> the</c><00:13:20.940><c> end</c><00:13:21.159><c> of</c><00:13:21.299><c> verse</c><00:13:21.519><c> 19.</c>

00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:28.399
And<00:13:23.740><c> his</c><00:13:24.120><c> seed</c><00:13:24.700><c> shall</c><00:13:25.279><c> become</c><00:13:26.120><c> a</c><00:13:26.620><c> multitude</c><00:13:27.139><c> of</c><00:13:27.820><c> nations.</c>

00:13:28.860 --> 00:13:32.679
There's<00:13:29.000><c> Genesis</c><00:13:29.519><c> 17,</c><00:13:31.299><c> verse</c><00:13:31.519><c> 5.</c>

00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:37.120
So<00:13:33.059><c> this</c><00:13:33.179><c> is</c><00:13:33.399><c> about</c><00:13:33.600><c> the</c><00:13:33.860><c> Abrahamic</c><00:13:34.379><c> promises</c><00:13:34.700><c> being</c><00:13:35.059><c> fulfilled</c><00:13:35.620><c> through</c><00:13:36.139><c> Ephraim,</c>

not<00:13:37.840><c> through</c><00:13:38.720><c> Manasseh.</c>

00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:42.139
So<00:13:40.220><c> you</c><00:13:40.259><c> got</c><00:13:40.419><c> a</c><00:13:40.559><c> picture</c><00:13:40.779><c> of</c><00:13:40.940><c> that,</c><00:13:41.419><c> brothers</c><00:13:41.559><c> and</c><00:13:41.759><c> sisters?</c>

00:13:42.620 --> 00:13:46.200
This<00:13:42.860><c> is</c><00:13:43.120><c> why</c><00:13:43.279><c> this</c><00:13:43.460><c> is</c><00:13:43.779><c> Jacob's</c><00:13:44.419><c> greatest</c><00:13:44.700><c> act</c><00:13:45.100><c> of</c><00:13:45.399><c> faith.</c>

00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:49.019
He<00:13:46.720><c> guided</c><00:13:47.179><c> his</c><00:13:47.659><c> hands</c><00:13:48.159><c> wittingly.</c>

00:13:49.340 --> 00:13:51.860
He<00:13:49.419><c> knew</c><00:13:49.679><c> exactly</c><00:13:50.480><c> what</c><00:13:50.679><c> he</c><00:13:50.799><c> was</c><00:13:51.019><c> doing.</c>

00:13:52.220 --> 00:13:56.379
He<00:13:52.419><c> misses</c><00:13:52.779><c> Manasseh,</c><00:13:53.379><c> he</c><00:13:53.539><c> puts</c><00:13:53.779><c> his</c><00:13:54.580><c> left</c><00:13:54.940><c> hand</c><00:13:55.279><c> upon</c><00:13:55.559><c> Manasseh's</c><00:13:56.279><c> head,</c>

00:13:56.539 --> 00:13:58.500
because<00:13:56.759><c> Manasseh</c><00:13:57.240><c> means</c><00:13:57.600><c> causing</c><00:13:57.940><c> to</c><00:13:58.240><c> forget.</c>

00:13:58.659 --> 00:14:01.059
He<00:13:58.960><c> represents</c><00:13:59.580><c> natural</c><00:14:00.019><c> Israel.</c>

00:14:01.220 --> 00:14:02.259
But<00:14:01.460><c> who</c><00:14:01.659><c> was</c><00:14:01.879><c> he?</c>

00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:04.019
He<00:14:02.960><c> was</c><00:14:03.159><c> the</c><00:14:03.379><c> firstborn.</c>

00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:05.700
Well,<00:14:04.700><c> what</c><00:14:04.779><c> was</c><00:14:05.000><c> natural</c><00:14:05.240><c> Israel?</c>

00:14:05.700 --> 00:14:07.740
Exodus<00:14:06.620><c> 4,</c><00:14:07.019><c> 22.</c>

00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:11.799

00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:17.360
Yes,<00:14:13.039><c> natural</c><00:14:13.340><c> Israel</c><00:14:13.700><c> it</c><00:14:13.919><c> was,</c><00:14:14.500><c> Yahweh's</c><00:14:15.200><c> firstborn</c><00:14:16.279><c> nation.</c>

00:14:21.700 --> 00:14:22.879
No.

00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.220
Ephraim<00:14:23.600><c> means</c><00:14:23.980><c> fruitful</c><00:14:24.360><c> or</c><00:14:24.639><c> double</c><00:14:24.960><c> fruit.</c>

00:14:25.299 --> 00:14:28.139

00:16:22.139 --> 00:16:22.600
Why?

00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.059
Well<00:16:23.519><c> because</c><00:16:23.840><c> he</c><00:16:23.940><c> still</c><00:16:24.139><c> had</c><00:16:24.299><c> Syrians</c><00:16:24.740><c> in</c><00:16:25.220><c> his</c><00:16:25.500><c> encampment.</c>

00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:36.299

Could<00:16:50.919><c> she?</c>

00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:58.980
And<00:16:56.960><c> when</c><00:16:57.139><c> the</c><00:16:57.240><c> Jews</c><00:16:57.399><c> went</c><00:16:57.639><c> to</c><00:16:57.759><c> Babylon,</c><00:16:58.379><c> they</c><00:16:58.519><c> were</c><00:16:58.740><c> freed</c>

00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:15.220
They<00:17:12.099><c> were</c><00:17:12.380><c> freed</c><00:17:12.619><c> from</c><00:17:12.859><c> idolatry</c><00:17:13.319><c> by</c><00:17:13.539><c> going</c><00:17:13.680><c> to</c><00:17:13.859><c> the</c><00:17:13.900><c> very</c><00:17:14.220><c> centre</c><00:17:14.460><c> of</c><00:17:14.680><c> idolatry</c>

That's<00:17:37.420><c> the</c><00:17:37.640><c> way</c><00:17:37.920><c> the</c><00:17:38.180><c> Scripture</c><00:17:38.400><c> presents</c><00:17:38.880><c> this</c><00:17:39.180><c> matter.</c>

00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:42.759
But<00:17:40.119><c> I</c><00:17:40.220><c> was</c><00:17:40.319><c> going</c><00:17:40.440><c> to</c><00:17:40.519><c> make</c><00:17:40.700><c> this</c><00:17:40.960><c> point.</c>

00:17:44.859 --> 00:17:49.119
Yahweh<00:17:45.220><c> calls</c><00:17:45.920><c> Jacob,</c><00:17:46.599><c> Israel,</c><00:17:47.759><c> from</c><00:17:47.859><c> Genesis</c><00:17:48.240><c> 35</c><00:17:48.819><c> onwards.</c>

00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:54.299
But<00:17:49.740><c> then</c><00:17:50.000><c> the</c><00:17:50.279><c> Syrian</c><00:17:50.660><c> appears</c><00:17:51.299><c> in</c><00:17:51.420><c> his</c><00:17:51.680><c> family</c><00:17:51.980><c> again</c><00:17:52.319><c> in</c><00:17:52.500><c> the</c><00:17:52.579><c> form</c><00:17:52.819><c> of</c><00:17:53.180><c> Reuben.</c>

00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:56.240
He<00:17:54.819><c> acts</c><00:17:55.039><c> like</c><00:17:55.339><c> a</c><00:17:55.480><c> deceiver.</c>

00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:58.460
He<00:17:56.619><c> takes</c><00:17:56.880><c> his</c><00:17:57.119><c> father's</c><00:17:57.619><c> wife.</c>

00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.599
So<00:17:59.420><c> the</c><00:17:59.680><c> record</c><00:17:59.940><c> then</c><00:18:00.400><c> continues</c><00:18:00.900><c> to</c><00:18:01.240><c> mix</c><00:18:01.539><c> those</c><00:18:02.059><c> names</c><00:18:02.380><c> up.</c>

00:18:02.660 --> 00:18:06.180
Sometimes<00:18:03.099><c> he's</c><00:18:03.380><c> called</c><00:18:03.599><c> Jacob,</c><00:18:04.400><c> sometimes</c><00:18:04.839><c> he's</c><00:18:05.019><c> called</c><00:18:05.220><c> Israel.</c>

00:18:06.579 --> 00:18:11.859
But<00:18:07.140><c> when</c><00:18:07.700><c> you</c><00:18:07.920><c> get</c><00:18:08.519><c> to</c><00:18:08.819><c> this</c><00:18:09.079><c> last</c><00:18:09.779><c> picture</c><00:18:10.140><c> of</c><00:18:10.339><c> Jacob</c><00:18:10.740><c> in</c><00:18:10.920><c> Genesis</c><00:18:11.359><c> 48</c>

and<00:18:12.019><c> 49,</c>

00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.799

00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:20.440
Have<00:18:18.779><c> you</c><00:18:18.940><c> got</c><00:18:19.079><c> one</c><00:18:19.380><c> guess?</c>

00:18:21.259 --> 00:18:24.599
Jacob<00:18:21.700><c> is</c><00:18:21.920><c> there</c><00:18:22.420><c> seven</c><00:18:23.200><c> times.</c>

00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:29.059
And<00:18:25.480><c> Israel</c><00:18:25.880><c> is</c><00:18:26.119><c> there</c><00:18:26.940><c> 14</c><00:18:27.779><c> times.</c>

00:18:31.259 --> 00:18:34.119
The<00:18:31.460><c> true</c><00:18:31.839><c> firstborn</c><00:18:32.619><c> has</c><00:18:32.960><c> emerged.</c>

00:18:34.660 --> 00:18:37.359
The<00:18:34.799><c> Israel</c><00:18:35.599><c> of</c><00:18:36.279><c> God.</c>

00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:39.640
He<00:18:37.819><c> ceased</c><00:18:38.140><c> to</c><00:18:38.420><c> be</c><00:18:38.539><c> the</c><00:18:38.740><c> hill</c><00:18:39.019><c> catcher.</c>

00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:41.279
He's<00:18:40.019><c> now</c><00:18:40.259><c> the</c><00:18:40.420><c> prevailor</c><00:18:40.839><c> with</c><00:18:41.039><c> God.</c>

00:18:41.500 --> 00:18:42.579
He's<00:18:41.619><c> the</c><00:18:41.900><c> true</c><00:18:42.099><c> firstborn.</c>

00:18:42.660 --> 00:18:44.859
He<00:18:42.660><c> gets</c><00:18:42.920><c> a</c><00:18:43.140><c> double</c><00:18:43.859><c> portion.</c>

00:18:45.859 --> 00:18:49.400
That's<00:18:46.380><c> what</c><00:18:46.559><c> we</c><00:18:46.720><c> find</c><00:18:46.980><c> in</c><00:18:47.079><c> Genesis</c><00:18:47.579><c> 48</c><00:18:48.460><c> and</c><00:18:48.859><c> 49.</c>

00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:52.359
There's<00:18:49.660><c> no</c><00:18:50.299><c> accident</c><00:18:50.859><c> in</c><00:18:51.200><c> that.</c>

A<00:18:53.160><c> bit</c><00:18:53.279><c> off</c><00:18:53.500><c> the</c><00:18:53.640><c> track</c><00:18:53.799><c> there,</c><00:18:54.039><c> but</c><00:18:54.059><c> let's</c><00:18:54.259><c> get</c><00:18:54.480><c> back</c><00:18:54.740><c> to</c><00:18:55.279><c> the</c><00:18:55.319><c> story.</c>

00:18:57.220 --> 00:19:00.460
Let's<00:18:57.400><c> come</c><00:18:57.619><c> back</c><00:18:57.920><c> to</c><00:18:58.779><c> the</c><00:18:59.099><c> life</c><00:18:59.460><c> pattern</c><00:18:59.819><c> of</c><00:19:00.279><c> Judah.</c>

00:19:00.740 --> 00:19:04.519
So<00:19:00.920><c> what</c><00:19:01.259><c> brings</c><00:19:01.680><c> about</c><00:19:02.119><c> this</c><00:19:02.500><c> massive</c><00:19:03.319><c> change</c><00:19:03.859><c> in</c><00:19:04.099><c> the</c><00:19:04.319><c> life</c>

00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:05.519
of<00:19:04.700><c> Judah?</c>

00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:09.180
Well,<00:19:06.420><c> we</c><00:19:06.519><c> go</c><00:19:06.740><c> right</c><00:19:07.019><c> back</c><00:19:07.460><c> to</c><00:19:07.720><c> remind</c><00:19:08.099><c> you</c><00:19:08.240><c> what</c><00:19:08.339><c> we</c><00:19:08.599><c> considered</c><00:19:08.839><c> in</c><00:19:09.019><c> our</c>

first<00:19:09.420><c> study.</c>

00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:14.180
But<00:19:09.980><c> when</c><00:19:10.400><c> he</c><00:19:10.640><c> was</c><00:19:11.000><c> named</c><00:19:11.619><c> Judah,</c><00:19:12.839><c> Yahweh</c><00:19:13.119><c> was</c><00:19:13.559><c> praised</c><00:19:13.980><c> at</c>

his<00:19:14.460><c> birth.</c>

00:19:15.579 --> 00:19:19.640
But<00:19:15.579><c> sadly,</c><00:19:16.339><c> as</c><00:19:16.440><c> this</c><00:19:16.779><c> boy</c><00:19:16.960><c> grew</c><00:19:17.279><c> up,</c><00:19:18.359><c> he</c><00:19:18.460><c> let</c><00:19:18.740><c> Yahweh</c><00:19:19.279><c> down</c>

In<00:19:23.539><c> the</c><00:19:23.680><c> record</c><00:19:24.059><c> of</c><00:19:24.200><c> Genesis</c><00:19:24.640><c> 37</c><00:19:25.299><c> verses</c><00:19:25.559><c> 26</c><00:19:26.039><c> and</c><00:19:26.259><c> 27,</c>

00:19:26.819 --> 00:19:29.920
who<00:19:27.099><c> was</c><00:19:27.400><c> it</c><00:19:27.940><c> that</c><00:19:28.279><c> suggested</c><00:19:28.779><c> they</c><00:19:29.019><c> should</c><00:19:29.299><c> sell</c><00:19:29.539><c> Joseph</c>

00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:32.319
Judah.

00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:35.680
Or<00:19:32.779><c> yes,</c><00:19:32.920><c> he's</c><00:19:33.119><c> a</c><00:19:33.240><c> type</c><00:19:33.400><c> of</c><00:19:33.579><c> Judas</c><00:19:33.779><c> Iscariot,</c><00:19:34.400><c> to</c><00:19:34.539><c> be</c><00:19:34.759><c> sure.</c>

00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.059
And<00:19:38.619><c> we</c><00:19:38.779><c> know,</c><00:19:39.000><c> of</c><00:19:39.140><c> course,</c><00:19:39.599><c> the</c><00:19:39.599><c> disgusting</c><00:19:40.279><c> behaviour</c><00:19:40.799><c> of</c>

Shameful<00:19:44.119><c> behaviour</c><00:19:44.539><c> that</c><00:19:44.799><c> brought</c><00:19:45.180><c> dishonour</c><00:19:45.799><c> upon</c><00:19:46.099><c> his</c><00:19:46.420><c> family</c><00:19:46.799><c> and</c><00:19:47.019><c> upon</c><00:19:47.299><c> Yahweh</c><00:19:47.660><c> as</c><00:19:47.920><c> God.</c>

00:19:48.140 --> 00:19:50.079
What<00:19:48.259><c> do</c><00:19:48.380><c> you</c><00:19:48.380><c> think</c><00:19:48.559><c> the</c><00:19:48.859><c> Canaanites</c><00:19:49.240><c> thought</c><00:19:49.500><c> about</c><00:19:49.799><c> this</c>

00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:53.700
You<00:19:52.359><c> reckon</c><00:19:52.480><c> they</c><00:19:52.680><c> gave</c><00:19:52.960><c> honour</c><00:19:53.140><c> to</c><00:19:53.299><c> God?</c>

00:19:53.900 --> 00:19:55.180
Praised<00:19:54.259><c> him?</c>

00:19:55.220 --> 00:19:56.839
And<00:19:55.380><c> they</c><00:19:55.539><c> saw</c><00:19:55.640><c> this</c><00:19:55.900><c> character?</c>

There's<00:22:30.559><c> something</c><00:22:30.799><c> very</c><00:22:31.140><c> important</c><00:22:31.440><c> about</c><00:22:31.700><c> this.</c>

00:22:33.140 --> 00:22:36.339
When<00:22:33.339><c> you</c><00:22:33.640><c> come,</c><00:22:34.319><c> like</c><00:22:34.640><c> Judah</c><00:22:34.960><c> did,</c><00:22:35.460><c> to</c><00:22:35.559><c> the</c><00:22:35.740><c> realization</c>

00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:49.039
you<00:22:44.559><c> can</c><00:22:45.079><c> make</c><00:22:45.500><c> prodigious</c><00:22:46.619><c> changes</c><00:22:47.359><c> to</c><00:22:47.900><c> the</c><00:22:48.059><c> way</c><00:22:48.500><c> you</c><00:22:48.880><c> live</c>

your<00:22:49.319><c> life.</c>

00:22:49.660 --> 00:22:52.660
But<00:22:50.579><c> if</c><00:22:50.700><c> you</c><00:22:51.059><c> don't</c><00:22:51.460><c> see</c><00:22:51.759><c> the</c><00:22:51.880><c> hand</c><00:22:52.180><c> of</c><00:22:52.279><c> God,</c>

you're<00:22:53.140><c> not</c><00:22:53.359><c> likely</c><00:22:53.680><c> to</c><00:22:53.799><c> make</c><00:22:54.079><c> them.</c>

00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:56.700
Simple<00:22:56.140><c> as</c><00:22:56.400><c> that.</c>

00:22:57.099 --> 00:22:59.160
And<00:22:57.099><c> that's</c><00:22:57.539><c> what's</c><00:22:58.000><c> happened</c><00:22:58.200><c> here.</c>

00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:02.359
Judah<00:22:59.920><c> has</c><00:23:00.359><c> seen</c><00:23:00.720><c> how</c><00:23:01.059><c> God</c><00:23:01.359><c> is</c><00:23:01.579><c> at</c><00:23:01.740><c> work</c><00:23:01.900><c> in</c><00:23:01.960><c> his</c><00:23:02.140><c> life.</c>

00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.400
It's<00:23:05.099><c> in</c><00:23:05.279><c> Genesis</c><00:23:05.640><c> 44.</c>

00:23:07.900 --> 00:23:09.819
Now<00:23:08.000><c> again,</c><00:23:08.119><c> there's</c><00:23:08.299><c> a</c><00:23:08.400><c> very</c><00:23:08.680><c> large</c><00:23:09.019><c> slab</c><00:23:09.319><c> of</c><00:23:09.559><c> verses,</c>

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.339
But<00:23:15.099><c> look</c><00:23:15.299><c> how</c><00:23:15.480><c> many</c><00:23:15.720><c> times</c><00:23:16.099><c> the</c><00:23:16.359><c> man's</c><00:23:17.359><c> name</c><00:23:17.660><c> appears.</c>

00:23:18.339 --> 00:23:22.839
Read<00:23:19.279><c> verse</c><00:23:19.500><c> 14</c><00:23:19.980><c> of</c><00:23:20.180><c> Genesis</c><00:23:20.579><c> 44.</c><00:23:21.200><c> It</c><00:23:21.200><c> says</c><00:23:21.500><c> this.</c>

00:23:22.859 --> 00:23:26.420
And<00:23:22.980><c> Judah</c><00:23:23.599><c> and</c><00:23:24.000><c> his</c><00:23:24.319><c> brethren</c><00:23:24.779><c> came</c><00:23:25.559><c> to</c><00:23:25.759><c> Joseph's</c><00:23:26.160><c> house.</c>

00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.619
Now<00:23:26.799><c> this</c><00:23:26.980><c> is</c><00:23:27.099><c> in</c><00:23:27.319><c> the</c><00:23:27.500><c> wake,</c><00:23:27.920><c> just</c><00:23:28.259><c> to</c><00:23:28.259><c> fill</c><00:23:28.519><c> in</c><00:23:28.680><c> the</c><00:23:28.799><c> gaps.</c>

The<00:23:29.799><c> gap</c><00:23:30.019><c> is</c><00:23:30.200><c> this.</c>

00:23:30.940 --> 00:23:32.859
When<00:23:31.079><c> they</c><00:23:31.160><c> came</c><00:23:31.380><c> a</c><00:23:31.599><c> second</c><00:23:31.859><c> time,</c><00:23:32.119><c> you</c><00:23:32.220><c> know</c><00:23:32.319><c> what</c><00:23:32.500><c> happens?</c>

Why<00:23:44.059><c> have</c><00:23:44.200><c> you</c><00:23:44.339><c> stolen</c><00:23:44.599><c> Joseph's</c><00:23:45.220><c> silver</c><00:23:45.339><c> cup?</c>

00:23:45.339 --> 00:23:47.680
And<00:23:45.440><c> you</c><00:23:45.440><c> can</c><00:23:45.640><c> say,</c><00:23:45.839><c> Joseph,</c><00:23:46.299><c> why</c><00:23:46.480><c> have</c><00:23:46.599><c> you</c><00:23:46.720><c> stolen</c><00:23:46.920><c> my</c><00:23:47.200><c> silver</c><00:23:47.440><c> cup?</c>

00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:49.039
Why<00:23:47.680><c> have</c><00:23:47.680><c> you</c><00:23:48.079><c> stolen</c><00:23:48.380><c> it?</c>

So<00:23:51.240><c> they</c><00:23:51.319><c> start</c><00:23:51.599><c> with</c><00:23:51.859><c> Reuben</c><00:23:52.039><c> and</c><00:23:52.180><c> they</c><00:23:52.359><c> work</c><00:23:52.500><c> right</c><00:23:52.940><c> down.</c>

00:29:32.420 --> 00:29:33.400
Think<00:29:32.599><c> if</c><00:29:32.700><c> you</c><00:29:32.799><c> had</c><00:29:32.900><c> a</c><00:29:33.119><c> family</c>

00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:40.740
Think<00:29:40.119><c> about</c><00:29:40.359><c> that.</c>

00:29:41.180 --> 00:29:43.039
What<00:29:41.380><c> an</c><00:29:41.519><c> enterprise</c><00:29:41.920><c> that</c><00:29:42.099><c> is.</c><00:29:42.279><c> So</c><00:29:42.539><c> whom</c><00:29:42.660><c> are</c><00:29:42.660><c> you</c><00:29:42.799><c> going</c><00:29:42.880><c> to</c>

00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:45.900
An<00:29:44.660><c> unstable</c><00:29:45.039><c> boy</c><00:29:45.319><c> like</c><00:29:45.559><c> Reuben?</c>

00:29:45.900 --> 00:29:47.440
Normally<00:29:46.720><c> a</c><00:29:46.880><c> father</c><00:29:47.059><c> would</c><00:29:47.220><c> say,</c>

00:29:47.460 --> 00:29:49.180
well,<00:29:47.599><c> you're</c><00:29:47.779><c> the</c><00:29:47.880><c> oldest,</c><00:29:48.920><c> Reuben.</c>

00:29:49.579 --> 00:29:51.200
You're<00:29:49.839><c> the</c><00:29:49.940><c> one</c><00:29:50.059><c> who</c><00:29:50.180><c> can</c><00:29:50.400><c> organise</c><00:29:50.759><c> all</c><00:29:51.019><c> this.</c>

00:29:51.259 --> 00:29:53.740
Does<00:29:51.380><c> Reuben</c><00:29:51.619><c> get</c><00:29:51.839><c> the</c><00:29:52.000><c> job?</c><00:29:53.220><c> No.</c>

00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:56.579
Genesis<00:29:54.500><c> 46,</c><00:29:55.140><c> 28.</c>

00:29:57.099 --> 00:29:58.099

00:30:03.980 --> 00:30:05.619
And<00:30:04.119><c> they</c><00:30:04.299><c> came</c><00:30:04.559><c> into</c><00:30:04.759><c> the</c><00:30:04.839><c> land</c><00:30:05.039><c> of</c><00:30:05.279><c> Goshen.</c>

00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:08.039
Yes,<00:30:07.119><c> Jacob</c><00:30:07.559><c> commits</c>

00:30:12.700 --> 00:30:15.000
Puts<00:30:13.579><c> him</c><00:30:13.740><c> first.</c>

00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:16.940
So<00:30:15.519><c> this</c><00:30:15.900><c> is</c><00:30:16.359><c> testifying,</c>

00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:18.980
isn't<00:30:17.200><c> it?</c><00:30:17.420><c> A</c><00:30:17.880><c> massive</c><00:30:18.420><c> change</c>

00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:23.619
So<00:30:20.720><c> we</c><00:30:20.839><c> ask</c><00:30:21.039><c> the</c><00:30:21.160><c> question,</c><00:30:21.799><c> what</c><00:30:22.000><c> could</c><00:30:22.279><c> change</c><00:30:22.599><c> Judah?</c>

00:30:23.819 --> 00:30:24.420
Worldly?

00:30:24.819 --> 00:30:25.960
Covenant<00:30:25.079><c> breaker?</c>

00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:27.539
Fornicator?

An<00:30:33.779><c> attitude</c><00:30:34.180><c> and</c><00:30:34.460><c> character</c><00:30:34.900><c> change.</c>

You<00:30:42.400><c> know</c><00:30:42.480><c> what</c><00:30:42.720><c> altruism</c><00:30:43.380><c> is?</c>

00:30:44.660 --> 00:30:46.079
Altruism<00:30:45.259><c> is</c><00:30:45.440><c> where</c><00:30:45.640><c> you</c><00:30:45.839><c> do</c>

That's<00:31:02.680><c> altruism.</c><00:31:03.579><c> And</c><00:31:03.680><c> that's</c><00:31:03.779><c> what</c><00:31:03.900><c> we</c><00:31:04.099><c> see</c>

00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:52.940
Now<00:33:51.819><c> I</c><00:33:51.980><c> ask</c><00:33:52.180><c> you</c><00:33:52.400><c> a</c><00:33:52.420><c> question.</c>

00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:55.160
If<00:33:53.460><c> you</c><00:33:53.680><c> were</c><00:33:53.819><c> Reuben,</c><00:33:54.799><c> Simeon</c>

00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:57.319
and<00:33:55.440><c> Levi,</c><00:33:56.779><c> would</c><00:33:57.039><c> you</c>

00:33:57.319 --> 00:33:59.400
regard<00:33:57.859><c> what</c><00:33:58.220><c> Jacob</c><00:33:58.559><c> said</c><00:33:58.819><c> to</c><00:33:59.079><c> you</c>

00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:01.619
in<00:33:59.599><c> this</c><00:33:59.859><c> prophecy</c><00:34:00.279><c> as</c><00:34:00.759><c> a</c><00:34:00.839><c> blessing?</c>

00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:03.140
Would<00:34:02.339><c> you?</c>

00:34:03.619 --> 00:34:05.079
Well<00:34:03.759><c> let's</c><00:34:03.920><c> just</c><00:34:04.099><c> think</c><00:34:04.240><c> about</c><00:34:04.460><c> what</c><00:34:04.599><c> happens</c><00:34:04.900><c> here.</c>

00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:06.819
Let's<00:34:05.279><c> have</c><00:34:05.420><c> a</c><00:34:05.420><c> look</c><00:34:05.579><c> at</c><00:34:05.700><c> what</c><00:34:05.819><c> happens</c><00:34:06.059><c> to</c><00:34:06.299><c> Reuben,</c><00:34:06.720><c> Simeon</c>

00:34:06.819 --> 00:34:07.240
and<00:34:06.960><c> Levi.</c>

00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:08.920
They<00:34:07.880><c> might</c><00:34:08.079><c> have</c><00:34:08.320><c> questioned</c>

00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:10.460
that<00:34:09.440><c> this</c><00:34:09.679><c> was</c><00:34:09.920><c> a</c><00:34:10.119><c> blessing</c>

00:34:10.460 --> 00:34:13.019
but<00:34:11.000><c> it</c><00:34:11.280><c> was</c><00:34:11.719><c> a</c><00:34:11.980><c> blessing</c><00:34:12.199><c> as</c><00:34:12.340><c> we're</c><00:34:12.539><c> going</c><00:34:12.639><c> to</c><00:34:12.840><c> see.</c>

00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:15.860
Because<00:34:13.679><c> this</c><00:34:13.880><c> is</c><00:34:14.059><c> the</c><00:34:14.219><c> principle</c><00:34:14.480><c> brothers</c><00:34:14.760><c> and</c><00:34:15.039><c> sisters.</c>

00:34:16.260 --> 00:34:17.380
If<00:34:16.480><c> you're</c><00:34:16.739><c> like</c><00:34:17.000><c> Reuben,</c>

00:34:17.500 --> 00:34:19.039
Simeon<00:34:17.780><c> and</c><00:34:17.960><c> Levi</c><00:34:18.199><c> and</c><00:34:18.340><c> you've</c><00:34:18.539><c> got</c>

00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:21.159
characteristics<00:34:19.639><c> that</c><00:34:19.900><c> might</c><00:34:20.139><c> keep</c><00:34:20.380><c> you</c><00:34:20.539><c> from</c><00:34:20.719><c> the</c><00:34:20.940><c> kingdom</c>

00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:23.000
and<00:34:21.320><c> if</c><00:34:21.380><c> you're</c><00:34:21.619><c> doing</c><00:34:21.880><c> things</c><00:34:22.159><c> that</c><00:34:22.320><c> might</c><00:34:22.519><c> keep</c><00:34:22.739><c> you</c><00:34:22.880><c> from</c>

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:23.539
the<00:34:23.239><c> kingdom</c>

00:34:23.539 --> 00:34:25.599
and<00:34:24.079><c> God's</c><00:34:24.420><c> at</c><00:34:24.539><c> work</c><00:34:24.719><c> in</c><00:34:24.860><c> your</c><00:34:25.139><c> life</c>

00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:27.619
and<00:34:25.840><c> he</c><00:34:25.920><c> wants</c><00:34:26.179><c> to</c><00:34:26.440><c> bless</c><00:34:26.699><c> you</c>

00:34:27.619 --> 00:34:30.000
then<00:34:28.039><c> you</c><00:34:28.239><c> have</c><00:34:28.460><c> to</c><00:34:28.619><c> be</c><00:34:28.880><c> exposed</c>

00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:32.619
for<00:34:31.239><c> what</c><00:34:31.400><c> you</c><00:34:31.619><c> are.</c>

00:34:33.739 --> 00:34:36.079
And<00:34:33.920><c> that's</c><00:34:34.119><c> what</c><00:34:34.260><c> happens</c><00:34:34.579><c> to</c><00:34:34.780><c> these</c><00:34:35.000><c> three</c><00:34:35.219><c> boys.</c>

00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:37.400
They're<00:34:36.780><c> exposed</c>

00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:38.460
before<00:34:37.780><c> their</c><00:34:38.019><c> brothers</c>

00:34:38.460 --> 00:34:41.019
for<00:34:39.280><c> what</c><00:34:39.440><c> they</c><00:34:39.699><c> truly</c><00:34:40.059><c> are.</c>

00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:43.619
And<00:34:42.079><c> it's</c><00:34:42.480><c> far</c><00:34:42.900><c> better</c><00:34:43.159><c> to</c><00:34:43.380><c> be</c>

00:34:43.619 --> 00:34:45.699
exposed<00:34:44.239><c> and</c><00:34:44.460><c> to</c><00:34:44.679><c> repent</c>

00:34:46.019 --> 00:34:47.179
than<00:34:46.539><c> to</c><00:34:46.659><c> conceal</c>

00:34:47.179 --> 00:34:49.440
and<00:34:48.219><c> be</c><00:34:48.440><c> rejected.</c>

00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:52.039
Because<00:34:50.579><c> you</c><00:34:50.780><c> see</c><00:34:50.940><c> if</c><00:34:51.179><c> you</c>

00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:52.619
repent

00:34:52.619 --> 00:34:55.360
then<00:34:53.739><c> you</c><00:34:53.860><c> can</c><00:34:54.119><c> be</c><00:34:54.300><c> forgiven.</c>

00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:58.119
So<00:34:55.760><c> that</c><00:34:56.099><c> makes</c><00:34:56.480><c> it</c><00:34:56.820><c> a</c><00:34:56.960><c> true</c><00:34:57.199><c> blessing.</c>

00:34:58.699 --> 00:34:59.960
Now<00:34:59.079><c> you</c><00:34:59.280><c> and</c><00:34:59.480><c> I</c><00:34:59.599><c> know</c>

00:34:59.960 --> 00:35:01.960
and<00:35:00.019><c> it's</c><00:35:00.559><c> one</c><00:35:00.840><c> of</c><00:35:00.960><c> the</c><00:35:01.219><c> sad</c><00:35:01.420><c> things</c>

00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:04.360
about<00:35:02.599><c> our</c><00:35:03.000><c> latter</c><00:35:03.260><c> day</c><00:35:03.599><c> history</c>

00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:05.679
in<00:35:04.880><c> our</c><00:35:05.119><c> community</c>

00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:07.860
that<00:35:06.460><c> we've</c><00:35:06.719><c> had</c><00:35:06.820><c> some</c><00:35:07.179><c> very</c>

notable<00:35:08.380><c> brethren</c>

00:35:13.300 --> 00:35:14.280
and<00:35:14.000><c> brought</c>

00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:15.480
dishonour

00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:18.769

00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:25.360
You<00:35:23.559><c> know</c><00:35:23.780><c> I</c><00:35:23.920><c> am</c><00:35:24.260><c> familiar</c>

00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:26.980

00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:37.599
is<00:35:35.900><c> the</c><00:35:36.079><c> lack</c><00:35:36.300><c> of</c><00:35:36.599><c> repentance.</c>

00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:41.980
When<00:35:40.599><c> they</c><00:35:40.739><c> have</c><00:35:40.900><c> been</c><00:35:41.159><c> exposed</c>

00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:46.130
there<00:35:45.139><c> is</c><00:35:45.420><c> a</c><00:35:45.820><c> strong</c>

00:35:46.619 --> 00:35:48.739
resistance<00:35:47.239><c> through</c><00:35:47.719><c> human</c><00:35:48.139><c> pride</c>

00:35:52.940 --> 00:35:55.159
In<00:35:52.980><c> some</c><00:35:53.239><c> cases</c><00:35:53.780><c> after</c><00:35:54.480><c> a</c><00:35:54.739><c> while</c>

00:36:08.579 --> 00:36:10.559
It<00:36:08.699><c> is</c><00:36:09.300><c> far</c><00:36:09.940><c> better</c>

00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:12.559
to<00:36:11.000><c> be</c><00:36:11.300><c> exposed.</c>

00:36:12.900 --> 00:36:14.579
Paul<00:36:13.059><c> says</c><00:36:13.380><c> some</c><00:36:13.780><c> men's</c><00:36:14.260><c> sins</c>

00:36:14.579 --> 00:36:16.820

00:36:16.820 --> 00:36:19.099
They're<00:36:17.099><c> open</c><00:36:17.440><c> beforehand.</c>

00:36:19.500 --> 00:36:20.800
They<00:36:19.760><c> may</c><00:36:19.980><c> well</c><00:36:20.119><c> go</c><00:36:20.340><c> there</c>

00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:22.619
and<00:36:21.079><c> those</c><00:36:21.300><c> sins</c><00:36:21.480><c> won't</c><00:36:21.679><c> be</c><00:36:21.900><c> brought</c><00:36:22.019><c> up</c><00:36:22.239><c> against</c><00:36:22.480><c> them</c>

00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:25.800

00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:37.159
that's<00:36:35.880><c> not</c><00:36:36.199><c> going</c><00:36:36.380><c> to</c><00:36:36.639><c> be</c>

But<00:48:36.150><c> I'm</c><00:48:36.349><c> putting</c><00:48:36.610><c> you</c><00:48:36.889><c> next</c><00:48:37.369><c> door.</c>

00:48:38.449 --> 00:48:40.110
You're<00:48:38.690><c> closest</c><00:48:39.070><c> to</c><00:48:39.349><c> me.</c>

00:48:40.750 --> 00:48:41.489
Judah,

00:48:41.730 --> 00:48:43.710
you're<00:48:42.050><c> going</c><00:48:42.369><c> to</c><00:48:42.590><c> be</c><00:48:42.809><c> first.</c>

00:48:44.550 --> 00:48:45.690
That's<00:48:45.010><c> the</c><00:48:45.130><c> way</c><00:48:45.250><c> it</c><00:48:45.369><c> is</c><00:48:45.510><c> brothers</c>

00:48:45.690 --> 00:48:47.630
and<00:48:45.929><c> sisters.</c><00:48:47.170><c> And</c><00:48:47.309><c> that</c>

00:48:47.630 --> 00:48:49.710
all<00:48:48.130><c> comes</c><00:48:48.550><c> about</c><00:48:48.989><c> because</c><00:48:49.389><c> a</c>

00:48:49.710 --> 00:48:51.590
man<00:48:49.949><c> who</c><00:48:50.170><c> is</c><00:48:50.309><c> a</c><00:48:50.550><c> profligate</c>

00:48:51.590 --> 00:48:53.650
and<00:48:51.949><c> an</c><00:48:52.170><c> apostate</c>

00:48:53.650 --> 00:48:55.030
completely<00:48:54.530><c> turns</c>

00:48:55.030 --> 00:48:57.289
because<00:48:55.630><c> he</c><00:48:55.750><c> can</c><00:48:56.070><c> see</c><00:48:56.769><c> God</c>

00:48:57.289 --> 00:48:59.449
working<00:48:57.969><c> in</c><00:48:58.309><c> his</c><00:48:58.550><c> life.</c>

00:49:00.030 --> 00:49:00.969
And<00:49:00.110><c> when</c><00:49:00.269><c> he</c><00:49:00.489><c> turns</c>

00:49:00.969 --> 00:49:03.050
he<00:49:01.690><c> sets</c><00:49:02.050><c> out</c><00:49:02.349><c> to</c><00:49:02.730><c> turn</c>

00:49:03.050 --> 00:49:04.329
his<00:49:03.389><c> brothers.</c>

00:49:06.010 --> 00:49:07.050
And<00:49:06.070><c> then</c><00:49:06.289><c> we</c><00:49:06.409><c> learn</c><00:49:06.650><c> a</c><00:49:06.730><c> lesson</c>

00:49:07.050 --> 00:49:09.090
from<00:49:07.269><c> that.</c><00:49:08.550><c> You</c><00:49:08.690><c> know</c>

00:49:09.090 --> 00:49:10.710
you<00:49:09.389><c> want</c><00:49:09.530><c> to</c><00:49:09.630><c> be</c><00:49:09.829><c> first?</c>

00:49:11.630 --> 00:49:12.929
Then<00:49:11.889><c> as</c><00:49:12.210><c> Christ</c><00:49:12.429><c> says</c>

00:49:12.929 --> 00:49:15.090
get<00:49:13.690><c> in</c><00:49:13.969><c> there</c><00:49:14.289><c> and</c><00:49:14.750><c> serve</c>

00:49:15.090 --> 00:49:16.289
your<00:49:15.389><c> brethren.</c>

00:49:18.630 --> 00:49:19.210
Don't<00:49:18.949><c> think</c>

00:49:19.210 --> 00:49:20.769
anything<00:49:19.570><c> of</c><00:49:19.730><c> yourself.</c>

00:49:20.829 --> 00:49:22.829
Use<00:49:21.090><c> the</c><00:49:21.489><c> altruism</c><00:49:22.269><c> of</c><00:49:22.590><c> Judah.</c>

00:49:22.829 --> 00:49:24.250
Get<00:49:23.389><c> in</c><00:49:23.650><c> there.</c>

00:49:24.389 --> 00:49:26.489
Try<00:49:24.730><c> and</c><00:49:24.949><c> redeem</c><00:49:25.309><c> your</c><00:49:25.610><c> brethren.</c>

00:49:26.670 --> 00:49:28.769
Having<00:49:26.789><c> made</c><00:49:27.110><c> the</c><00:49:27.289><c> necessary</c><00:49:27.690><c> changes</c><00:49:28.110><c> in</c><00:49:28.349><c> your</c><00:49:28.550><c> own</c>

00:49:28.769 --> 00:49:30.690
life.<00:49:29.789><c> That's</c><00:49:30.250><c> why</c><00:49:30.469><c> this</c>

00:49:30.690 --> 00:49:32.030
comes<00:49:31.050><c> about.</c>

00:49:32.230 --> 00:49:34.349
So<00:49:32.269><c> let's</c><00:49:32.530><c> come</c><00:49:32.769><c> back</c><00:49:33.010><c> and</c><00:49:33.170><c> finish</c><00:49:33.469><c> off</c><00:49:33.690><c> on</c><00:49:33.869><c> the</c><00:49:34.070><c> line</c>

00:49:34.349 --> 00:49:37.429
of<00:49:34.590><c> the</c><00:49:34.789><c> tribe</c><00:49:34.989><c> of</c><00:49:35.230><c> Judah</c><00:49:35.389><c> in</c><00:49:35.630><c> Genesis</c><00:49:35.989><c> 49.</c>

00:49:41.010 --> 00:49:42.730
Now<00:49:41.349><c> my</c><00:49:41.789><c> little</c><00:49:42.530><c> clock</c>

00:49:42.730 --> 00:49:44.889
says<00:49:42.969><c> I've</c><00:49:43.449><c> been</c><00:49:43.610><c> speaking</c><00:49:43.889><c> for</c><00:49:44.110><c> 49</c><00:49:44.489><c> minutes</c>

00:49:44.889 --> 00:49:46.630
so<00:49:45.050><c> it's</c><00:49:45.230><c> appropriate</c><00:49:45.590><c> to</c><00:49:45.750><c> go</c><00:49:45.949><c> back</c><00:49:46.150><c> to</c><00:49:46.349><c> Genesis</c>

00:49:46.630 --> 00:49:48.230
49.<00:49:47.090><c> That's</c><00:49:47.309><c> just</c><00:49:47.489><c> to</c><00:49:47.610><c> remind</c><00:49:47.869><c> you</c><00:49:48.090><c> Matt</c>

00:49:48.230 --> 00:49:50.969
that<00:49:48.469><c> I'm</c><00:49:49.130><c> trying</c><00:49:49.329><c> to</c><00:49:49.510><c> keep</c><00:49:49.630><c> my</c><00:49:49.929><c> word</c><00:49:50.110><c> here.</c>

00:49:57.590 --> 00:50:00.230
We<00:49:58.389><c> can't</c><00:49:59.190><c> do</c><00:49:59.309><c> all</c><00:49:59.650><c> of</c><00:49:59.789><c> this</c>

00:50:00.230 --> 00:50:02.789
but<00:50:00.530><c> we'll</c><00:50:00.769><c> do</c><00:50:01.309><c> verses</c><00:50:01.809><c> 9</c>

00:50:02.789 --> 00:50:03.690
maybe

00:50:04.710 --> 00:50:07.949
9<00:50:05.510><c> and</c><00:50:05.829><c> 10</c><00:50:05.869><c> at</c><00:50:06.050><c> least.</c>

00:50:08.530 --> 00:50:10.309
So<00:50:08.690><c> verse</c><00:50:08.929><c> 9</c><00:50:09.289><c> of</c><00:50:09.469><c> Genesis</c><00:50:09.769><c> 49</c>

00:50:10.309 --> 00:50:11.889
Jacob<00:50:10.730><c> says</c><00:50:11.409><c> Judah</c>

00:50:11.889 --> 00:50:13.349
is<00:50:12.309><c> a</c><00:50:12.489><c> lion's</c><00:50:13.010><c> will</c>

00:50:13.349 --> 00:50:15.909
from<00:50:14.369><c> the</c><00:50:14.710><c> prey.</c><00:50:14.889><c> Notice</c><00:50:15.150><c> the</c><00:50:15.329><c> language</c>

00:50:15.909 --> 00:50:17.789
from<00:50:17.030><c> the</c><00:50:17.409><c> prey</c>

00:50:17.789 --> 00:50:19.269
my<00:50:18.469><c> son.</c>

00:50:19.750 --> 00:50:20.730
Thou<00:50:19.750><c> art</c><00:50:19.989><c> gone</c><00:50:20.289><c> up.</c>

00:50:20.730 --> 00:50:22.650
He<00:50:21.550><c> stooped</c><00:50:22.650><c> down.</c>

00:50:22.769 --> 00:50:25.110
He<00:50:23.050><c> couched</c><00:50:23.329><c> as</c><00:50:23.550><c> a</c><00:50:23.610><c> lion.</c><00:50:23.989><c> So</c><00:50:24.070><c> he's</c><00:50:24.269><c> lying</c><00:50:24.489><c> down.</c>

00:50:25.550 --> 00:50:26.710
And<00:50:25.630><c> as</c><00:50:25.789><c> an</c><00:50:26.090><c> old</c><00:50:26.369><c> lion</c>

00:50:28.550 --> 00:50:30.489
So<00:50:28.710><c> what's</c><00:50:29.010><c> this</c><00:50:29.210><c> a</c><00:50:29.349><c> prophecy</c><00:50:29.610><c> about?</c>

00:50:30.510 --> 00:50:32.809
Well<00:50:30.650><c> it's</c><00:50:30.710><c> actually</c><00:50:30.989><c> a</c><00:50:31.210><c> prophecy</c><00:50:31.469><c> about</c><00:50:31.730><c> the</c><00:50:31.909><c> victories</c><00:50:32.250><c> of</c><00:50:32.510><c> Christ</c>

00:50:32.809 --> 00:50:34.909
as<00:50:33.030><c> the</c><00:50:33.289><c> lion</c><00:50:33.630><c> of</c><00:50:34.309><c> the</c><00:50:34.550><c> tribe</c>

of<00:50:35.329><c> Judah.</c><00:50:35.889><c> So</c><00:50:36.110><c> Judah</c><00:50:36.369><c> is</c><00:50:36.610><c> a</c><00:50:36.809><c> lion's</c>

00:50:38.550 --> 00:50:40.369
The<00:50:38.809><c> word</c><00:50:38.969><c> means</c><00:50:39.230><c> a</c><00:50:39.489><c> cub</c><00:50:39.730><c> or</c><00:50:40.090><c> young.</c>

00:50:40.769 --> 00:50:42.969
And<00:50:40.989><c> the</c><00:50:41.090><c> young</c><00:50:41.409><c> lion</c><00:50:41.630><c> is</c><00:50:41.829><c> developing</c><00:50:42.210><c> into</c><00:50:42.469><c> his</c><00:50:42.710><c> full</c>

00:50:44.289 --> 00:50:46.730
And<00:50:44.630><c> the</c><00:50:44.789><c> ferocity</c><00:50:45.429><c> that</c><00:50:45.769><c> he</c><00:50:45.889><c> will</c><00:50:46.070><c> have</c><00:50:46.269><c> to</c><00:50:46.530><c> show</c>

00:50:46.730 --> 00:50:48.610
in<00:50:46.969><c> search</c><00:50:47.170><c> of</c><00:50:47.329><c> his</c><00:50:47.550><c> prey.</c><00:50:47.829><c> And</c><00:50:47.909><c> of</c><00:50:48.030><c> course</c><00:50:48.110><c> when</c><00:50:48.349><c> Christ</c>

00:50:48.610 --> 00:50:50.889
comes<00:50:48.849><c> he</c><00:50:49.050><c> is</c><00:50:49.349><c> going</c><00:50:49.630><c> to</c><00:50:49.949><c> use</c><00:50:50.210><c> that</c><00:50:50.570><c> strength</c>

00:50:50.889 --> 00:50:52.030
and<00:50:51.210><c> ferocity</c>

00:50:52.030 --> 00:50:54.570
to<00:50:52.530><c> overthrow</c><00:50:53.210><c> his</c><00:50:53.670><c> enemies.</c>

00:50:54.789 --> 00:50:56.429
But<00:50:54.829><c> once</c><00:50:55.150><c> the</c><00:50:55.309><c> job</c><00:50:55.610><c> is</c><00:50:56.010><c> done</c>

00:50:56.429 --> 00:50:59.070
he<00:50:57.230><c> can</c><00:50:57.429><c> go</c><00:50:57.710><c> up</c><00:50:58.150><c> from</c><00:50:58.530><c> the</c><00:50:58.789><c> prey.</c>

00:50:59.409 --> 00:51:00.489
So<00:50:59.409><c> to</c><00:50:59.610><c> speak.</c>

00:51:00.510 --> 00:51:02.869
The<00:51:00.630><c> grown</c><00:51:00.929><c> lion</c><00:51:01.309><c> has</c><00:51:01.750><c> caught</c><00:51:02.010><c> and</c><00:51:02.329><c> consumed</c>

00:51:02.869 --> 00:51:03.969
the<00:51:03.190><c> prey.</c>

00:51:04.269 --> 00:51:05.789
Now<00:51:04.570><c> he</c><00:51:04.750><c> returns.</c>

00:51:05.869 --> 00:51:07.610
He's<00:51:06.030><c> not</c><00:51:06.230><c> always</c><00:51:06.429><c> going</c><00:51:06.630><c> to</c><00:51:06.769><c> tear</c><00:51:06.929><c> and</c><00:51:07.269><c> wring.</c>

00:51:07.909 --> 00:51:10.469
So<00:51:08.150><c> this</c><00:51:08.289><c> is</c><00:51:08.489><c> about</c><00:51:08.809><c> Christ's</c><00:51:10.030><c> triumph</c>

00:51:10.469 --> 00:51:12.230
and<00:51:10.969><c> the</c><00:51:11.190><c> aftermath</c><00:51:11.670><c> of</c><00:51:11.909><c> it.</c>

00:51:12.389 --> 00:51:14.469
As<00:51:12.610><c> he</c><00:51:12.789><c> as</c><00:51:12.909><c> it</c><00:51:13.130><c> were</c><00:51:13.289><c> rests</c>

00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:16.469
because<00:51:14.670><c> it</c><00:51:14.989><c> says</c><00:51:15.230><c> he</c><00:51:15.530><c> couched</c>

00:51:16.469 --> 00:51:18.090
as<00:51:16.710><c> a</c><00:51:17.170><c> lion.</c>

00:51:18.309 --> 00:51:20.230
The<00:51:18.349><c> word</c><00:51:18.610><c> means</c><00:51:19.030><c> to</c><00:51:19.190><c> lie</c><00:51:19.369><c> down,</c><00:51:19.630><c> to</c><00:51:19.869><c> recline.</c>

00:51:20.389 --> 00:51:22.690
So<00:51:20.429><c> here</c><00:51:20.650><c> he</c><00:51:20.690><c> is</c><00:51:21.309><c> as</c><00:51:21.670><c> it</c><00:51:21.849><c> were</c><00:51:21.949><c> the</c><00:51:22.110><c> lion</c>

00:51:22.690 --> 00:51:24.250
of<00:51:23.010><c> the</c><00:51:23.190><c> tribe</c><00:51:23.389><c> of</c><00:51:23.610><c> Judah.</c>

00:51:24.369 --> 00:51:25.909
He's<00:51:24.610><c> won</c><00:51:24.849><c> the</c><00:51:25.070><c> battles.</c>

00:51:26.389 --> 00:51:28.269
The<00:51:26.510><c> earth</c><00:51:27.030><c> has</c><00:51:27.349><c> been</c><00:51:27.650><c> subdued</c>

00:51:28.269 --> 00:51:30.650
before<00:51:28.670><c> him.</c><00:51:29.670><c> He's</c><00:51:29.949><c> now</c><00:51:30.210><c> at</c><00:51:30.469><c> rest</c>

00:51:30.650 --> 00:51:32.590
in<00:51:30.989><c> peace.</c><00:51:31.789><c> But</c><00:51:31.929><c> he</c><00:51:32.010><c> won't</c><00:51:32.250><c> rest</c>

00:51:32.590 --> 00:51:34.130
of<00:51:32.789><c> course</c><00:51:33.030><c> until</c><00:51:33.449><c> the</c><00:51:33.730><c> nations</c>

00:51:34.130 --> 00:51:36.449
have<00:51:34.730><c> been</c><00:51:35.050><c> subdued.</c><00:51:35.489><c> And</c><00:51:35.630><c> that</c><00:51:35.690><c> will</c><00:51:35.869><c> take</c><00:51:36.110><c> 40</c>

00:51:36.449 --> 00:51:39.030
years<00:51:36.909><c> from</c><00:51:37.190><c> Armageddon</c><00:51:37.829><c> to</c><00:51:38.010><c> the</c><00:51:38.150><c> final</c>

00:51:39.269 --> 00:51:41.250
subjugation<00:51:39.809><c> of</c><00:51:40.170><c> the</c><00:51:40.329><c> nations.</c>

00:51:41.429 --> 00:51:42.829
But<00:51:41.550><c> then</c><00:51:41.630><c> it</c><00:51:41.750><c> says</c><00:51:41.909><c> this</c>

00:51:42.829 --> 00:51:43.889
in<00:51:43.190><c> verse</c><00:51:43.429><c> 9.</c>

00:51:43.889 --> 00:51:46.269
And<00:51:44.409><c> there's</c><00:51:44.670><c> an</c><00:51:44.809><c> old</c><00:51:45.309><c> lion.</c>

00:51:46.429 --> 00:51:48.030
Now<00:51:46.789><c> in</c><00:51:47.250><c> the</c><00:51:47.309><c> Hebrew</c>

00:51:48.030 --> 00:51:49.889
this<00:51:49.349><c> word</c>

00:51:49.889 --> 00:51:52.170
is<00:51:50.630><c> actually</c><00:51:51.329><c> in</c><00:51:51.489><c> the</c><00:51:51.789><c> feminine</c>

00:51:52.170 --> 00:51:53.630
gender.

00:51:54.590 --> 00:51:56.090
So<00:51:54.670><c> the</c><00:51:54.929><c> RV</c><00:51:55.289><c> and</c><00:51:55.550><c> others</c>

00:51:56.090 --> 00:51:57.389
correctly<00:51:56.750><c> translated</c>

00:51:57.389 --> 00:51:59.869
as<00:51:58.389><c> a</c><00:51:58.730><c> lioness.</c>

00:52:00.010 --> 00:52:02.230
So<00:52:00.190><c> why</c><00:52:00.530><c> is</c><00:52:00.769><c> a</c><00:52:01.010><c> lioness</c><00:52:01.650><c> introduced</c>

00:52:02.230 --> 00:52:03.289
here?

00:52:04.010 --> 00:52:05.869
Well<00:52:04.269><c> because</c><00:52:04.650><c> you</c><00:52:04.869><c> see</c>

00:52:05.889 --> 00:52:07.550
in<00:52:06.429><c> the</c><00:52:06.630><c> animal</c><00:52:06.989><c> kingdom</c>

00:52:07.550 --> 00:52:10.269
the<00:52:08.489><c> lioness</c><00:52:09.349><c> does</c><00:52:09.650><c> the</c><00:52:09.929><c> lion</c>

00:52:10.269 --> 00:52:12.289
share<00:52:10.730><c> of</c><00:52:11.030><c> capturing</c><00:52:11.530><c> the</c><00:52:11.969><c> prey.</c>

00:52:12.289 --> 00:52:14.539
You<00:52:12.469><c> know</c><00:52:13.710><c> it's</c><00:52:13.949><c> the</c><00:52:14.190><c> lioness</c>

00:52:14.949 --> 00:52:16.329
that<00:52:15.309><c> wants</c><00:52:15.530><c> to</c><00:52:15.909><c> feed</c>

00:52:16.329 --> 00:52:18.389
and<00:52:16.769><c> look</c><00:52:17.030><c> after</c><00:52:17.369><c> her</c><00:52:17.630><c> young.</c>

00:52:18.530 --> 00:52:19.969
So<00:52:18.710><c> she</c><00:52:18.909><c> captures</c><00:52:19.309><c> the</c><00:52:19.590><c> prey</c>

00:52:19.969 --> 00:52:23.190
and<00:52:20.809><c> she</c><00:52:21.090><c> will</c><00:52:21.349><c> protect</c><00:52:21.829><c> her</c><00:52:22.210><c> young</c>

00:52:23.610 --> 00:52:24.809
ferociously.

00:52:25.150 --> 00:52:26.429
So<00:52:25.349><c> it's</c><00:52:25.610><c> talking</c><00:52:25.849><c> about</c><00:52:26.230><c> that</c>

00:52:26.429 --> 00:52:28.329
aspect<00:52:26.929><c> of</c><00:52:27.369><c> fears</c><00:52:27.750><c> in</c><00:52:28.030><c> protecting</c>

00:52:34.230 --> 00:52:36.369
who<00:52:34.510><c> dares</c><00:52:35.130><c> rouse</c><00:52:35.590><c> him</c><00:52:35.849><c> up</c>

00:52:36.369 --> 00:52:38.369
none<00:52:36.929><c> will</c><00:52:37.670><c> challenge</c><00:52:38.170><c> the</c>

00:52:38.369 --> 00:52:40.469

00:52:40.469 --> 00:52:42.690
have<00:52:40.610><c> been</c><00:52:40.849><c> subjugated.</c><00:52:41.349><c> And</c><00:52:41.349><c> of</c><00:52:41.449><c> course</c><00:52:41.570><c> that</c><00:52:41.809><c> prophecy</c><00:52:42.130><c> is</c><00:52:42.389><c> repeated</c>

00:52:42.690 --> 00:52:44.730

00:52:47.210 --> 00:52:49.329
Then<00:52:47.469><c> it</c><00:52:47.550><c> says</c><00:52:47.809><c> this</c><00:52:48.070><c> in</c><00:52:48.190><c> verse</c><00:52:48.429><c> 10.</c>

00:52:49.949 --> 00:52:50.590
The<00:52:50.030><c> scepter</c><00:52:50.369><c> shall</c>

00:53:36.809 --> 00:53:38.710
the<00:53:36.809><c> lawgiver</c><00:53:37.389><c> not</c><00:53:37.610><c> of</c><00:53:37.909><c> Judah</c>

00:53:38.809 --> 00:53:40.269
but<00:53:39.190><c> of</c><00:53:39.449><c> Levi.</c>

00:53:41.550 --> 00:53:42.730
But<00:53:41.670><c> when</c><00:53:42.010><c> Shiloh</c><00:53:42.369><c> comes</c>

00:53:42.730 --> 00:53:44.809
as<00:53:42.909><c> the</c><00:53:43.070><c> lawgiver</c><00:53:43.469><c> of</c><00:53:43.590><c> Judah</c><00:53:43.929><c> then</c><00:53:44.250><c> the</c><00:53:44.489><c> law</c>

00:53:44.809 --> 00:53:46.829
shall<00:53:45.010><c> go</c><00:53:45.289><c> forth</c><00:53:45.550><c> from</c><00:53:45.809><c> Zion</c><00:53:46.130><c> and</c><00:53:46.329><c> the</c><00:53:46.369><c> word</c><00:53:46.550><c> of</c><00:53:46.690><c> the</c>

00:53:46.829 --> 00:53:49.469
Lord<00:53:47.230><c> from</c><00:53:48.269><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:53:49.710 --> 00:53:50.769
So<00:53:49.809><c> this</c><00:53:50.050><c> lawgiver</c>

00:53:50.769 --> 00:53:52.909
is<00:53:51.190><c> a</c><00:53:51.329><c> reference</c><00:53:51.929><c> to</c>

00:53:52.909 --> 00:53:54.710
one<00:53:53.269><c> who</c><00:53:53.489><c> rules.</c><00:53:53.969><c> Robbaham</c><00:53:54.429><c> says</c>

00:53:54.710 --> 00:53:56.650
it's<00:53:55.050><c> the</c><00:53:55.329><c> commander's</c><00:53:56.369><c> staff.</c>

00:53:57.050 --> 00:53:59.070
The<00:53:57.210><c> RV</c><00:53:57.449><c> says</c><00:53:57.690><c> it's</c><00:53:58.030><c> the</c><00:53:58.289><c> ruler's</c><00:53:58.949><c> staff.</c>

00:53:59.130 --> 00:54:00.489
So<00:53:59.289><c> when</c><00:53:59.550><c> ancient</c><00:53:59.849><c> kings</c>

00:54:00.489 --> 00:54:03.170
sat<00:54:01.329><c> to</c><00:54:01.630><c> dispense</c><00:54:02.050><c> law,</c><00:54:02.590><c> to</c><00:54:02.690><c> judge</c>

00:54:03.170 --> 00:54:04.489
they<00:54:03.869><c> had</c><00:54:04.070><c> a</c><00:54:04.210><c> rod.</c>

00:54:04.489 --> 00:54:07.530
And<00:54:05.809><c> they</c><00:54:05.969><c> would</c><00:54:06.210><c> put</c><00:54:06.369><c> it</c><00:54:06.449><c> between</c><00:54:06.849><c> their</c><00:54:07.090><c> knees</c>

00:54:07.530 --> 00:54:10.090
and<00:54:08.570><c> hold</c><00:54:09.010><c> it</c>

00:54:10.090 --> 00:54:11.550
stable<00:54:10.510><c> with</c><00:54:10.849><c> their</c><00:54:11.110><c> feet.</c>

00:54:11.949 --> 00:54:13.289
You<00:54:11.949><c> see</c><00:54:12.090><c> the</c><00:54:12.769><c> king</c><00:54:12.989><c> sitting?</c>

00:54:13.630 --> 00:54:15.590
He's<00:54:13.909><c> got</c><00:54:14.070><c> the</c><00:54:14.349><c> rod</c><00:54:14.530><c> between</c><00:54:14.889><c> his</c><00:54:15.190><c> knees</c>

00:54:15.590 --> 00:54:17.409
and<00:54:16.530><c> it's</c><00:54:16.889><c> held</c>

00:54:17.409 --> 00:54:19.349
between<00:54:18.150><c> his</c><00:54:18.469><c> feet.</c>

00:54:19.389 --> 00:54:20.489
So<00:54:19.570><c> it's</c><00:54:20.070><c> stable.</c>

00:54:20.809 --> 00:54:22.929
It<00:54:21.050><c> represented</c><00:54:21.570><c> his</c><00:54:22.230><c> authority</c>

00:54:22.929 --> 00:54:25.409
to<00:54:23.369><c> rule</c><00:54:23.829><c> and</c><00:54:24.469><c> to</c><00:54:24.650><c> judge.</c>

00:54:25.510 --> 00:54:28.010
That's<00:54:25.750><c> what</c><00:54:25.969><c> Christ</c><00:54:26.389><c> is</c><00:54:26.789><c> going</c><00:54:26.949><c> to</c><00:54:27.130><c> do.</c>

00:54:28.170 --> 00:54:28.909
He's<00:54:28.590><c> called</c>

00:54:28.909 --> 00:54:30.829
Shiloh.<00:54:30.130><c> It</c><00:54:30.309><c> says</c>

00:54:30.829 --> 00:54:32.989
in<00:54:31.130><c> verse</c><00:54:31.530><c> 10</c>

00:54:33.409 --> 00:54:34.949
until<00:54:34.010><c> Shiloh</c><00:54:34.610><c> come.</c>

00:54:35.070 --> 00:54:37.030
Now<00:54:35.170><c> there</c><00:54:35.210><c> were</c><00:54:35.389><c> two</c><00:54:35.710><c> Hebrew</c><00:54:36.090><c> words</c><00:54:36.510><c> used</c><00:54:36.809><c> there</c>

00:54:37.030 --> 00:54:38.570

00:54:38.869 --> 00:54:40.349
It's<00:54:39.110><c> at</c><00:54:39.469><c> key.</c>

00:54:40.590 --> 00:54:43.550
It<00:54:40.710><c> means</c><00:54:41.070><c> to</c><00:54:41.570><c> or</c><00:54:41.929><c> for</c><00:54:42.530><c> that.</c>

00:54:43.610 --> 00:54:44.989
Or<00:54:44.050><c> because.</c>

00:54:45.329 --> 00:54:46.829
So<00:54:45.489><c> Brother</c><00:54:45.670><c> Thomas</c><00:54:46.010><c> translates</c><00:54:46.489><c> it</c>

00:54:46.829 --> 00:54:48.989
because<00:54:47.869><c> Shiloh</c>

00:54:49.110 --> 00:54:49.909
shall<00:54:49.469><c> come.</c>

00:54:50.369 --> 00:54:52.690
And<00:54:50.630><c> he</c><00:54:50.769><c> is</c><00:54:51.030><c> going</c><00:54:51.210><c> to</c><00:54:51.389><c> take</c><00:54:51.630><c> up</c><00:54:52.210><c> that</c>

00:54:54.449 --> 00:54:56.309
we<00:54:54.550><c> know</c><00:54:54.750><c> Shiloh</c><00:54:55.909><c> means</c>

00:54:56.309 --> 00:54:58.210
tranquil<00:54:56.670><c> or</c><00:54:56.949><c> peace.</c><00:54:57.289><c> It's</c><00:54:57.449><c> the</c><00:54:57.550><c> title</c><00:54:57.730><c> of</c><00:54:57.949><c> Christ.</c>

00:54:58.329 --> 00:55:00.489
The<00:54:58.550><c> Prince</c><00:54:58.929><c> of</c><00:54:59.170><c> Peace</c><00:54:59.449><c> in</c><00:54:59.650><c> Isaiah</c><00:55:00.050><c> 9</c>

verse<00:55:01.469><c> 6.</c>

00:55:02.610 --> 00:55:04.969

means<00:55:09.130><c> obedience.</c>

00:55:10.750 --> 00:55:13.110
And<00:55:10.889><c> the</c><00:55:11.070><c> RV</c><00:55:11.309><c> translates</c><00:55:11.889><c> it</c><00:55:12.190><c> correctly.</c>

00:55:18.909 --> 00:55:20.809
Because<00:55:18.909><c> it's</c><00:55:19.809><c> talking</c><00:55:20.170><c> about</c><00:55:20.449><c> the</c><00:55:20.610><c> time</c>
