the<00:11:19.200><c> way</c><00:11:19.379><c> that</c><00:11:19.519><c> God</c><00:11:20.019><c> is</c><00:11:20.659><c> going</c><00:11:20.799><c> to</c><00:11:21.100><c> call</c><00:11:21.360><c> certain</c><00:11:21.720><c> people</c><00:11:22.019><c> to</c>

00:11:22.220 --> 00:11:22.759
the<00:11:22.419><c> kingdom.</c>

00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:27.080
And<00:11:23.320><c> it</c><00:11:23.419><c> was</c><00:11:23.720><c> always,</c><00:11:24.019><c> of</c><00:11:24.299><c> course,</c><00:11:24.600><c> to</c><00:11:24.779><c> the</c><00:11:25.059><c> Jew</c><00:11:25.399><c> first,</c><00:11:26.299><c> wasn't</c><00:11:26.500><c> it?</c>

00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:28.980
So<00:11:27.679><c> he</c><00:11:27.879><c> bade</c><00:11:28.220><c> many.</c>

00:11:29.220 --> 00:11:31.940
And<00:11:29.419><c> that</c><00:11:29.600><c> many</c><00:11:29.820><c> included</c><00:11:30.240><c> the</c><00:11:30.519><c> Jews</c><00:11:30.759><c> initially.</c>

00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:36.620
And<00:11:32.639><c> verse</c><00:11:32.860><c> 17,</c><00:11:33.559><c> he</c><00:11:33.799><c> sent</c><00:11:34.080><c> his</c><00:11:34.440><c> servant</c><00:11:34.679><c> at</c><00:11:35.100><c> the</c><00:11:35.440><c> supper</c><00:11:35.700><c> time.</c>

00:11:37.340 --> 00:11:39.220
The<00:11:37.580><c> servant</c><00:11:37.799><c> here,</c><00:11:38.379><c> brothers</c><00:11:38.480><c> and</c><00:11:38.740><c> sisters,</c>

00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:44.139
I<00:11:39.980><c> believe</c><00:11:40.159><c> was</c><00:11:40.340><c> both</c><00:11:40.620><c> the</c><00:11:40.919><c> prophets</c><00:11:41.299><c> and</c><00:11:42.240><c> the</c><00:11:42.419><c> Lord</c><00:11:42.580><c> Jesus</c><00:11:43.039><c> Christ.</c>

00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.860
Because<00:11:45.120><c> it</c><00:11:45.360><c> led</c><00:11:45.460><c> up</c><00:11:45.740><c> to</c><00:11:45.919><c> this</c><00:11:46.179><c> time,</c><00:11:46.460><c> didn't</c><00:11:46.720><c> it?</c>

00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.200
At<00:11:48.679><c> supper</c><00:11:49.159><c> time.</c>

00:11:50.340 --> 00:11:53.980
That,<00:11:51.179><c> brothers</c><00:11:51.200><c> and</c><00:11:51.480><c> sisters,</c><00:11:51.860><c> is</c><00:11:52.059><c> an</c><00:11:52.399><c> evening</c><00:11:52.960><c> meal.</c>

00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.840
So<00:11:55.379><c> the</c><00:11:55.659><c> hour</c><00:11:56.080><c> has</c><00:11:56.539><c> come.</c>

00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.000
The<00:11:59.200><c> clock</c><00:11:59.460><c> is</c><00:11:59.759><c> ticking</c><00:11:59.960><c> away.</c>

00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.759
The<00:12:01.379><c> time</c><00:12:01.639><c> of</c><00:12:01.799><c> the</c><00:12:01.960><c> great</c><00:12:02.240><c> supper</c><00:12:02.539><c> is</c><00:12:02.820><c> about</c><00:12:03.059><c> to</c><00:12:03.279><c> be</c><00:12:03.460><c> held.</c>

00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.379
It's<00:12:04.519><c> the</c><00:12:05.000><c> evening</c><00:12:05.519><c> meal,</c><00:12:06.019><c> brothers</c><00:12:06.120><c> and</c><00:12:06.379><c> sisters.</c>

00:12:07.659 --> 00:12:09.360
And<00:12:07.820><c> now</c><00:12:08.080><c> the</c><00:12:08.480><c> hour</c><00:12:08.740><c> has</c><00:12:09.080><c> come,</c>

00:12:09.779 --> 00:12:11.860
and<00:12:09.779><c> all</c><00:12:11.100><c> things</c><00:12:11.399><c> are</c><00:12:11.620><c> ready,</c>

00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:13.620

00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:15.860
But<00:12:13.840><c> look,</c><00:12:14.279><c> this</c><00:12:14.440><c> is</c><00:12:14.620><c> the</c><00:12:14.759><c> second</c><00:12:15.019><c> time</c><00:12:15.279><c> these</c><00:12:15.480><c> people</c><00:12:15.700><c> have</c>

00:12:15.860 --> 00:12:16.240
been<00:12:16.059><c> called.</c>

00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:17.960
This<00:12:16.620><c> is</c><00:12:16.799><c> not</c><00:12:16.940><c> the</c><00:12:17.120><c> initial</c><00:12:17.440><c> invitation.</c>

00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.340
They<00:12:18.279><c> had</c><00:12:18.500><c> the</c><00:12:18.679><c> invitation</c><00:12:19.179><c> before.</c>

00:12:20.500 --> 00:12:22.039
Look<00:12:20.620><c> what</c><00:12:20.820><c> it</c><00:12:20.899><c> says.</c>

00:12:22.259 --> 00:12:24.779
And<00:12:22.340><c> he</c><00:12:22.379><c> sent</c><00:12:22.659><c> his</c><00:12:22.879><c> servant,</c><00:12:23.259><c> verse</c><00:12:23.460><c> 17,</c><00:12:23.960><c> at</c><00:12:24.080><c> supper</c><00:12:24.320><c> time,</c>

00:12:24.980 --> 00:12:28.220
to<00:12:25.100><c> say</c><00:12:25.440><c> to</c><00:12:25.519><c> them</c><00:12:25.899><c> that</c><00:12:26.460><c> were</c><00:12:27.000><c> bidden.</c>

00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:32.860
Now<00:12:29.500><c> it's</c><00:12:29.620><c> not</c><00:12:29.799><c> as</c><00:12:30.000><c> if</c><00:12:30.179><c> at</c><00:12:30.480><c> the</c><00:12:30.639><c> last</c><00:12:30.980><c> hour,</c><00:12:31.500><c> brothers</c><00:12:31.600><c> and</c><00:12:31.879><c> sisters,</c>

00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.799
the<00:12:33.120><c> warning</c><00:12:33.419><c> came</c><00:12:34.120><c> that</c><00:12:34.799><c> the</c><00:12:35.080><c> supper</c><00:12:35.240><c> was</c><00:12:35.460><c> about</c><00:12:35.720><c> to</c><00:12:35.960><c> commence.</c>

00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.279
It<00:12:37.759><c> wasn't</c><00:12:38.059><c> as</c><00:12:38.259><c> if</c><00:12:38.360><c> it</c><00:12:38.460><c> was</c><00:12:38.620><c> the</c><00:12:38.720><c> last</c><00:12:39.039><c> hour.</c>

00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:43.200
These<00:12:39.960><c> people</c><00:12:40.340><c> had</c><00:12:40.620><c> known</c><00:12:40.860><c> that</c><00:12:41.279><c> long</c><00:12:41.700><c> time</c><00:12:42.039><c> before.</c>

00:12:44.059 --> 00:12:46.919
That's<00:12:44.279><c> why</c><00:12:44.480><c> I</c><00:12:44.620><c> think</c><00:12:44.820><c> the</c><00:12:45.120><c> servant</c><00:12:45.419><c> here</c><00:12:45.960><c> stretches</c><00:12:46.340><c> back</c>

00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:49.019

00:12:49.980 --> 00:12:52.279
That<00:12:50.240><c> invitation</c><00:12:50.740><c> had</c><00:12:50.940><c> been</c><00:12:51.159><c> out</c><00:12:51.340><c> for</c><00:12:51.720><c> centuries,</c>

00:12:54.980 --> 00:12:58.080
And<00:12:55.120><c> then</c><00:12:55.240><c> all</c><00:12:55.360><c> of</c><00:12:55.580><c> a</c><00:12:55.620><c> sudden</c><00:12:55.759><c> they're</c><00:12:56.019><c> told</c><00:12:56.500><c> it's</c><00:12:57.100><c> all</c><00:12:57.240><c> ready.</c>

00:12:58.259 --> 00:12:59.259
It's<00:12:58.440><c> ready.</c>

00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:01.960
Come<00:13:00.299><c> on,</c><00:13:01.000><c> it's</c><00:13:01.200><c> ready.</c>

00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:06.500
How<00:13:04.080><c> long</c><00:13:04.279><c> have</c><00:13:04.399><c> you</c><00:13:04.500><c> had</c><00:13:04.620><c> the</c><00:13:04.799><c> invitation,</c><00:13:05.360><c> brothers</c><00:13:05.500><c> and</c><00:13:05.580><c> sisters?</c>

00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.379
I've<00:13:08.639><c> had</c><00:13:08.799><c> it</c><00:13:09.519><c> 40</c><00:13:09.860><c> years.</c>

00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:15.340
It<00:13:13.779><c> shouldn't</c><00:13:13.940><c> be</c><00:13:14.080><c> any</c><00:13:14.220><c> surprise</c><00:13:14.679><c> to</c><00:13:14.860><c> any</c><00:13:15.059><c> of</c><00:13:15.159><c> us</c>

00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.419
that<00:13:18.120><c> when</c><00:13:18.279><c> the</c><00:13:18.539><c> angel</c><00:13:18.700><c> says,</c><00:13:19.200><c> hey,</c><00:13:19.320><c> it's</c><00:13:19.480><c> ready,</c>

00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.620
We<00:13:23.740><c> should</c><00:13:23.980><c> be</c><00:13:24.340><c> ready</c><00:13:24.679><c> immediately</c><00:13:25.679><c> when</c><00:13:25.919><c> that</c><00:13:26.200><c> call</c><00:13:26.360><c> comes.</c>

00:13:26.700 --> 00:13:30.799
We<00:13:26.840><c> should</c><00:13:27.340><c> absolutely</c><00:13:28.179><c> have</c><00:13:28.679><c> nothing</c><00:13:29.220><c> hindering</c><00:13:30.000><c> us</c><00:13:30.399><c> going</c>

00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.399
And<00:13:32.840><c> not</c><00:13:32.960><c> only</c><00:13:33.419><c> because</c><00:13:33.759><c> we're</c><00:13:34.299><c> commanded,</c><00:13:34.639><c> but</c><00:13:34.759><c> because</c><00:13:35.000><c> we</c>

00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:36.820
want<00:13:35.740><c> to</c><00:13:35.960><c> go.</c>

00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:40.820
And<00:13:38.259><c> you</c><00:13:38.379><c> see,</c><00:13:38.519><c> all</c><00:13:38.860><c> of</c><00:13:39.019><c> them</c><00:13:39.179><c> had</c><00:13:39.360><c> that</c><00:13:39.600><c> invitation</c><00:13:40.200><c> before,</c>

00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.919
So<00:13:43.879><c> they</c><00:13:44.100><c> should</c><00:13:44.399><c> have</c><00:13:44.559><c> been</c><00:13:44.879><c> prepared.</c>

00:13:46.659 --> 00:13:49.580
But<00:13:46.879><c> they</c><00:13:47.080><c> weren't.</c>

00:13:49.620 --> 00:13:51.720

What<00:18:58.240><c> about</c><00:18:58.400><c> those</c><00:18:58.640><c> that</c><00:18:58.779><c> are</c><00:18:58.900><c> not</c><00:18:59.059><c> here?</c>

00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:02.140

00:19:02.900 --> 00:19:04.039
What<00:19:03.119><c> would</c><00:19:03.240><c> they</c><00:19:03.640><c> say?</c>

00:19:04.220 --> 00:19:06.140

00:19:06.380 --> 00:19:08.019
It<00:19:06.599><c> would</c><00:19:06.680><c> be</c><00:19:06.859><c> a</c><00:19:07.000><c> pretext.</c>

00:19:09.099 --> 00:19:12.299
And<00:19:09.200><c> the</c><00:19:09.400><c> pretext</c><00:19:09.740><c> would</c><00:19:10.000><c> tell</c><00:19:10.220><c> you</c><00:19:11.079><c> that</c><00:19:11.380><c> they</c><00:19:11.579><c> would</c><00:19:11.740><c> consider</c><00:19:12.059><c> it</c>

00:19:12.299 --> 00:19:14.259

00:19:14.299 --> 00:19:15.200
But<00:19:14.460><c> you</c><00:19:14.599><c> don't</c><00:19:14.759><c> think</c><00:19:14.920><c> like</c><00:19:15.079><c> that.</c>

00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:16.319
In<00:19:15.279><c> other</c><00:19:15.380><c> words,</c><00:19:15.559><c> you</c><00:19:15.579><c> wouldn't</c><00:19:15.839><c> be</c><00:19:16.059><c> here.</c>

00:19:16.339 --> 00:19:18.519
You're<00:19:16.599><c> coming</c><00:19:16.759><c> because</c><00:19:17.039><c> you</c><00:19:17.299><c> love</c><00:19:17.460><c> that</c><00:19:17.740><c> book.</c>

00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:21.140
And<00:19:19.680><c> you</c><00:19:19.859><c> see,</c><00:19:20.099><c> it's</c><00:19:20.339><c> terrific,</c><00:19:20.859><c> isn't</c><00:19:20.920><c> it?</c>

00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:23.400
When<00:19:21.339><c> you</c><00:19:21.539><c> think</c><00:19:21.720><c> what</c><00:19:21.960><c> Yahweh's</c><00:19:22.319><c> going</c><00:19:22.460><c> to</c><00:19:22.640><c> do</c><00:19:22.779><c> in</c><00:19:22.920><c> that</c><00:19:23.140><c> kingdom,</c>

Who<00:19:26.539><c> wouldn't?</c>

00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:29.700
But<00:19:27.759><c> these</c><00:19:27.980><c> people</c><00:19:28.240><c> didn't.</c>

00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:33.920
And<00:19:29.960><c> they</c><00:19:30.160><c> had</c><00:19:30.380><c> their</c><00:19:31.000><c> inexcusable</c><00:19:32.279><c> excuses,</c><00:19:33.160><c> brethren</c><00:19:33.319><c> and</c><00:19:33.539><c> sisters.</c>

00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:36.559
And<00:19:34.839><c> they</c><00:19:34.980><c> went</c><00:19:35.140><c> like</c><00:19:35.440><c> this.</c>

00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:40.640
There<00:19:37.259><c> were</c><00:19:37.440><c> three</c><00:19:38.019><c> inexcusable</c><00:19:39.319><c> excuses.</c>

00:19:41.460 --> 00:19:43.460
And<00:19:41.740><c> they</c><00:19:41.940><c> were</c><00:19:42.019><c> all</c><00:19:42.140><c> in</c><00:19:42.259><c> the</c><00:19:42.359><c> nature</c><00:19:42.539><c> of</c><00:19:42.759><c> a</c><00:19:42.880><c> pretext,</c>

00:19:46.579 --> 00:19:50.339
The<00:19:47.119><c> first</c><00:19:47.539><c> fellow</c><00:19:47.900><c> advanced</c><00:19:48.480><c> a</c><00:19:48.740><c> pretended</c><00:19:49.200><c> necessity.</c>

00:19:54.779 --> 00:19:56.500
It<00:19:54.960><c> was</c><00:19:55.160><c> a</c><00:19:55.279><c> pretended</c><00:19:55.759><c> necessity.</c>

00:19:56.779 --> 00:19:59.819
It<00:19:56.880><c> wasn't</c><00:19:57.220><c> all</c><00:19:57.559><c> that</c><00:19:57.819><c> necessary</c><00:19:58.240><c> to</c><00:19:58.400><c> go</c><00:19:58.519><c> at</c><00:19:58.700><c> that</c><00:19:58.920><c> time.</c>

00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:02.960
The<00:20:01.579><c> second</c><00:20:01.779><c> set</c><00:20:02.059><c> forth</c><00:20:02.319><c> his</c><00:20:02.500><c> own</c><00:20:02.779><c> will.</c>

00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:05.200
I<00:20:03.359><c> go</c><00:20:03.599><c> to</c><00:20:03.859><c> prove</c><00:20:04.039><c> them</c><00:20:04.220><c> I'm</c><00:20:04.460><c> going</c><00:20:04.579><c> to</c><00:20:04.700><c> do</c><00:20:04.880><c> that.</c>

00:20:05.299 --> 00:20:07.299
That's<00:20:05.539><c> what</c><00:20:05.779><c> I'm</c><00:20:06.200><c> going</c><00:20:06.299><c> to</c><00:20:06.420><c> do.</c>

00:20:09.460 --> 00:20:11.480

00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:20.240
So<00:20:16.279><c> it's</c><00:20:16.539><c> either</c><00:20:17.720><c> a</c><00:20:18.539><c> pretended</c><00:20:18.960><c> necessity</c>

00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:35.960

He<00:34:28.659><c> thought</c><00:34:29.159><c> he</c><00:34:30.000><c> was</c><00:34:30.280><c> faced</c><00:34:30.420><c> with</c><00:34:30.599><c> an</c><00:34:30.820><c> impossibility,</c>

00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:33.059
brothers<00:34:31.900><c> and</c><00:34:32.079><c> sisters.</c>

00:34:33.300 --> 00:34:34.619
Why<00:34:33.820><c> did</c><00:34:34.019><c> he</c><00:34:34.039><c> think</c><00:34:34.300><c> that?</c>

00:34:35.099 --> 00:34:36.940
He<00:34:35.659><c> said,</c><00:34:35.840><c> I</c><00:34:36.059><c> can't</c><00:34:36.559><c> come.</c>

00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:38.880
Why<00:34:37.619><c> couldn't</c><00:34:37.900><c> he</c><00:34:38.159><c> come?</c>

00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:41.800
Well,<00:34:39.940><c> he</c><00:34:40.239><c> said,</c><00:34:40.420><c> because</c><00:34:40.719><c> I've</c><00:34:41.019><c> married</c><00:34:41.239><c> a</c><00:34:41.480><c> wife.</c>

00:34:42.099 --> 00:34:44.380
Therefore<00:34:42.679><c> I</c><00:34:42.980><c> cannot</c><00:34:43.340><c> come.</c>

00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:47.659
Now<00:34:45.219><c> why</c><00:34:45.300><c> would</c><00:34:45.460><c> he</c><00:34:45.559><c> be</c><00:34:45.679><c> so</c><00:34:46.039><c> confident</c><00:34:46.380><c> about</c><00:34:46.739><c> that?</c>

00:34:47.699 --> 00:34:49.860
What<00:34:47.980><c> makes</c><00:34:48.360><c> it</c><00:34:48.539><c> that</c><00:34:48.940><c> when</c><00:34:49.179><c> you</c><00:34:49.340><c> get</c><00:34:49.559><c> married</c>

00:34:49.860 --> 00:34:52.519
that<00:34:50.400><c> that</c><00:34:50.579><c> exempts</c><00:34:50.920><c> you</c><00:34:51.019><c> from</c><00:34:51.179><c> your</c><00:34:51.420><c> responsibilities</c><00:34:51.920><c> to</c><00:34:52.179><c> God?</c>

00:34:52.659 --> 00:34:53.780
Does<00:34:52.900><c> it?</c>

00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:56.599
Well,<00:34:54.340><c> I</c><00:34:54.659><c> believe</c><00:34:55.039><c> why</c><00:34:55.280><c> he</c><00:34:55.559><c> thought</c><00:34:55.760><c> that</c><00:34:56.079><c> was</c><00:34:56.280><c> because</c>

00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:59.280

00:35:00.139 --> 00:35:02.719
In<00:35:00.400><c> the</c><00:35:00.679><c> 24th</c><00:35:01.500><c> chapter</c><00:35:01.900><c> of</c><00:35:02.159><c> Deuteronomy,</c>

00:35:02.820 --> 00:35:07.239
that's<00:35:03.199><c> the</c><00:35:03.280><c> chapter</c><00:35:03.559><c> about</c><00:35:04.179><c> the</c><00:35:04.639><c> contract</c><00:35:05.039><c> of</c><00:35:05.440><c> so</c><00:35:05.699><c>-called</c><00:35:05.880><c> divorce,</c>

00:35:14.179 --> 00:35:18.300

00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:26.139
But<00:35:24.400><c> this</c><00:35:24.579><c> fellow</c><00:35:24.800><c> thought,</c><00:35:25.300><c> I</c><00:35:25.480><c> can't</c><00:35:25.940><c> come.</c>

00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:29.480

00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:32.199
Brothers<00:35:29.780><c> and</c><00:35:29.920><c> sisters,</c><00:35:31.179><c> that</c><00:35:31.360><c> verse</c><00:35:31.679><c> in</c><00:35:31.860><c> Deuteronomy</c>

00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:35.119

00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:37.940
It<00:35:35.679><c> never</c><00:35:36.059><c> said</c><00:35:36.239><c> he</c><00:35:36.340><c> was</c><00:35:36.699><c> exempt</c><00:35:36.960><c> from</c><00:35:37.159><c> the</c><00:35:37.360><c> invitation</c><00:35:37.760><c> of</c>

00:35:44.579 --> 00:35:50.960

00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:57.800
You<00:35:52.719><c> know,</c><00:35:53.000><c> the</c><00:35:53.159><c> very</c><00:35:53.420><c> fact</c><00:35:54.119><c> that</c><00:35:55.039><c> this</c><00:35:55.340><c> chap</c><00:35:55.519><c> saw</c><00:35:55.780><c> it</c><00:35:55.920><c> as</c><00:35:56.059><c> an</c><00:35:56.300><c> impossibility</c>

00:35:57.980 --> 00:35:59.559

00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:06.800
That's<00:36:05.380><c> how</c><00:36:05.500><c> he</c><00:36:05.699><c> viewed</c><00:36:05.820><c> it,</c>

00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:10.400
like<00:36:07.420><c> an</c><00:36:07.699><c> act</c><00:36:07.820><c> of</c><00:36:08.039><c> conscription</c><00:36:08.760><c> where</c><00:36:09.300><c> he</c><00:36:09.500><c> had</c><00:36:09.719><c> to</c><00:36:09.980><c> go.</c>

So<00:36:56.579><c> what?</c>

00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:02.380

Enormous<00:37:42.880><c> temptation.</c>

00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:46.340
You<00:37:44.679><c> think</c><00:37:44.880><c> about</c><00:37:45.159><c> that.</c>

And<00:38:35.159><c> some</c><00:38:35.300><c> people</c><00:38:35.539><c> say,</c>

00:38:36.019 --> 00:38:37.440
I<00:38:36.039><c> cannot</c><00:38:36.460><c> come.</c>

00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:41.360
And<00:38:38.719><c> they</c><00:38:39.079><c> think</c><00:38:39.460><c> they've</c><00:38:39.659><c> got</c><00:38:39.760><c> a</c><00:38:39.880><c> legitimate</c><00:38:40.260><c> excuse.</c>

00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:43.840
And<00:38:42.400><c> they</c><00:38:42.679><c> think</c><00:38:43.019><c> that</c><00:38:43.239><c> they</c><00:38:43.360><c> can</c><00:38:43.519><c> put</c>

00:38:46.219 --> 00:38:47.760
They<00:38:46.900><c> don't</c><00:38:47.019><c> put</c><00:38:47.179><c> it</c><00:38:47.280><c> like</c><00:38:47.500><c> that.</c>

00:38:47.900 --> 00:38:50.840
They<00:38:48.219><c> emphasize</c><00:38:48.820><c> their</c><00:38:49.219><c> need</c><00:38:49.739><c> of</c><00:38:50.260><c> each</c><00:38:50.519><c> other</c>

00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:54.659
And<00:38:52.519><c> it's</c><00:38:52.820><c> also</c><00:38:53.340><c> spiritual.</c>

00:38:55.519 --> 00:38:56.739
And<00:38:55.840><c> it</c><00:38:56.139><c> exempts</c><00:38:56.559><c> them</c>

00:38:56.739 --> 00:38:57.840

00:38:58.079 --> 00:38:59.320
Does<00:38:58.280><c> it?</c>

00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:01.579

They<00:41:45.559><c> are</c><00:41:45.880><c> stupid</c><00:41:46.320><c> people</c><00:41:46.739><c> who</c><00:41:46.920><c> he</c><00:41:47.119><c> calls</c>

00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:53.800
the<00:41:53.159><c> apathy</c>

00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:56.300
of<00:41:54.380><c> the</c><00:41:55.059><c> simpleton</c>

00:42:01.300 --> 00:42:03.650
is<00:42:01.940><c> why</c><00:42:02.179><c> they</c><00:42:02.320><c> didn't</c><00:42:02.559><c> turn</c><00:42:02.880><c> up.</c>

00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:07.320
So<00:42:05.400><c> there</c><00:42:05.539><c> was</c><00:42:05.900><c> apathy</c><00:42:06.440><c> because</c><00:42:06.860><c> people</c>

00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:09.139
were<00:42:07.739><c> stupid</c><00:42:08.260><c> and</c><00:42:08.800><c> didn't</c>

00:42:09.139 --> 00:42:11.519

00:42:11.960 --> 00:42:13.400
and<00:42:12.500><c> there</c><00:42:12.639><c> was</c><00:42:12.900><c> indifference</c>

00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:15.440
because<00:42:13.760><c> they</c><00:42:13.920><c> were</c><00:42:14.219><c> rich.</c>

00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:17.809
Well,<00:42:16.920><c> says</c><00:42:17.039><c> Yahweh,</c>

00:42:18.260 --> 00:42:19.539
whosoever<00:42:18.739><c> harkeneth</c><00:42:19.139><c> unto</c><00:42:19.280><c> me</c>

00:42:19.539 --> 00:42:21.239
shall<00:42:19.739><c> dwell</c><00:42:20.019><c> safely</c><00:42:20.480><c> and</c><00:42:20.659><c> shall</c><00:42:20.760><c> be</c><00:42:21.039><c> quiet</c>

00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:23.019
from<00:42:21.440><c> the</c><00:42:21.599><c> fear</c><00:42:21.739><c> of</c><00:42:21.980><c> evil.</c><00:42:22.420><c> I'll</c><00:42:22.619><c> look</c><00:42:22.800><c> after</c>

00:42:23.019 --> 00:42:24.519
those<00:42:23.340><c> who</c><00:42:23.539><c> listen.</c>

00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:27.280
But<00:42:25.019><c> they</c><00:42:25.239><c> don't</c><00:42:25.400><c> come</c><00:42:25.639><c> when</c><00:42:25.760><c> I</c><00:42:26.079><c> call,</c><00:42:26.480><c> I</c><00:42:26.820><c> don't</c><00:42:27.039><c> come</c>

00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:28.780
when<00:42:27.539><c> they</c><00:42:28.000><c> call.</c>

00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:31.139
And<00:42:30.079><c> so</c><00:42:30.260><c> Jesus</c><00:42:30.619><c> said</c>

00:42:31.139 --> 00:42:33.099

00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:46.179

01:03:33.960 --> 01:03:35.340
How<01:03:34.320><c> God</c><01:03:34.539><c> was</c><01:03:34.760><c> going</c><01:03:35.000><c> to</c><01:03:35.079><c> do</c><01:03:35.219><c> that?</c>

01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:37.260
How<01:03:35.639><c> can</c><01:03:35.860><c> we</c><01:03:36.059><c> ever</c><01:03:36.380><c> imagine</c><01:03:36.760><c> He</c><01:03:36.880><c> could</c><01:03:37.039><c> do</c><01:03:37.179><c> that?</c>

01:03:37.260 --> 01:03:39.679
Look<01:03:37.420><c> at</c><01:03:37.639><c> the</c><01:03:37.940><c> tragedies</c><01:03:38.420><c> of</c><01:03:38.719><c> the</c><01:03:38.960><c> present.</c>

The<01:03:40.300><c> little</c><01:03:40.619><c> boy</c><01:03:40.840><c> that</c><01:03:41.079><c> lost</c><01:03:41.239><c> his</c><01:03:41.519><c> life.</c>

01:03:42.239 --> 01:03:43.340
You'd<01:03:42.679><c> think</c><01:03:42.780><c> that</c><01:03:43.039><c> tears</c>

01:03:43.340 --> 01:03:44.699

01:03:44.760 --> 01:03:46.719
You'd<01:03:44.920><c> think,</c><01:03:45.139><c> what</c><01:03:45.159><c> could</c><01:03:45.380><c> He</c><01:03:45.659><c> do?</c><01:03:46.059><c> But</c><01:03:46.219><c> He</c><01:03:46.360><c> will.</c>

01:03:46.800 --> 01:03:48.099
That's<01:03:47.119><c> the</c><01:03:47.280><c> point.</c>

01:03:48.460 --> 01:03:50.360
We<01:03:48.900><c> don't</c><01:03:49.340><c> know</c><01:03:49.480><c> the</c><01:03:49.659><c> modus</c><01:03:49.940><c> operandi.</c>

01:03:50.360 --> 01:03:51.900
How<01:03:50.780><c> else</c><01:03:51.079><c> would</c><01:03:51.260><c> God</c><01:03:51.440><c> do</c><01:03:51.699><c> that?</c>

01:03:52.039 --> 01:03:53.820
How<01:03:52.219><c> could</c><01:03:52.400><c> He</c><01:03:52.519><c> erase</c><01:03:52.840><c> that?</c><01:03:53.159><c> We</c><01:03:53.340><c> don't</c><01:03:53.639><c> know.</c>

01:03:53.880 --> 01:03:56.000
But<01:03:54.000><c> He</c><01:03:54.139><c> will,</c><01:03:54.719><c> brothers</c><01:03:54.960><c> and</c><01:03:55.000><c> sisters.</c>

01:03:56.039 --> 01:03:58.579
Our<01:03:56.239><c> dear</c><01:03:56.460><c> sister,</c><01:03:57.260><c> who</c><01:03:57.260><c> we'll</c><01:03:57.440><c> hear</c><01:03:57.679><c> about,</c>

01:04:05.880 --> 01:04:06.820
Inexplicable.

01:04:06.920 --> 01:04:08.559
But<01:04:07.099><c> He</c><01:04:07.139><c> can</c><01:04:07.659><c> erase</c><01:04:08.099><c> the</c><01:04:08.360><c> memory</c>
