we<00:04:20.819><c> can't</c><00:04:21.000><c> go</c><00:04:21.139><c> any</c><00:04:21.279><c> further</c><00:04:21.519><c> here.</c>

00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.699
How<00:04:22.699><c> is</c><00:04:22.819><c> this</c><00:04:23.019><c> supposed</c><00:04:23.240><c> to</c><00:04:23.420><c> work?</c><00:04:23.839><c> And</c><00:04:23.980><c> he</c><00:04:24.160><c> opened</c><00:04:24.379><c> up</c><00:04:24.560><c> the</c>

00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:27.899
And<00:04:25.519><c> now</c><00:04:25.660><c> I</c><00:04:25.740><c> suggest</c><00:04:26.100><c> to</c><00:04:26.300><c> you</c><00:04:26.639><c> that</c><00:04:26.879><c> in</c><00:04:27.100><c> fact</c><00:04:27.259><c> what</c><00:04:27.399><c> we're</c><00:04:27.579><c> going</c><00:04:27.720><c> to</c>

00:04:27.899 --> 00:04:32.540
see<00:04:28.100><c> in</c><00:04:28.339><c> the</c><00:04:28.560><c> second</c><00:04:28.759><c> Exodus</c><00:04:29.100><c> is</c><00:04:29.519><c> in</c><00:04:29.680><c> fact</c><00:04:30.019><c> another</c><00:04:31.600><c> parting</c>

00:04:33.980 --> 00:04:38.699
And<00:04:34.459><c> Israel,</c><00:04:35.240><c> God's</c><00:04:35.560><c> people</c><00:04:35.879><c> walking</c><00:04:36.319><c> together</c><00:04:37.079><c> through</c><00:04:38.060><c> on</c>

00:04:38.699 --> 00:04:39.699
dry<00:04:38.839><c> land.</c>

00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:42.240
Now,<00:04:40.439><c> just</c><00:04:40.959><c> we</c><00:04:41.160><c> need</c><00:04:41.300><c> to</c><00:04:41.399><c> take</c><00:04:41.519><c> a</c><00:04:41.620><c> little</c><00:04:41.720><c> bit</c><00:04:41.899><c> of</c><00:04:41.939><c> time</c><00:04:42.079><c> here</c>

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.139
to<00:04:42.360><c> think</c><00:04:42.500><c> about</c><00:04:42.720><c> this</c><00:04:43.220><c> just</c><00:04:43.819><c> to</c><00:04:43.959><c> really</c><00:04:44.139><c> get</c><00:04:44.319><c> the</c><00:04:44.519><c> picture</c><00:04:44.819><c> as</c>

00:04:45.139 --> 00:04:46.459

00:04:46.699 --> 00:04:51.459
And<00:04:46.879><c> so</c><00:04:47.019><c> in</c><00:04:47.259><c> order</c><00:04:47.519><c> to</c><00:04:47.839><c> put</c><00:04:48.079><c> this</c><00:04:48.240><c> together</c><00:04:48.660><c> and</c><00:04:48.939><c> to</c><00:04:49.060><c> really</c><00:04:49.300><c> see</c><00:04:49.920><c> what</c><00:04:50.860><c> bodies</c><00:04:51.220><c> of</c>

00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:53.860
water<00:04:51.720><c> Israel</c><00:04:52.040><c> will</c><00:04:52.779><c> cross</c><00:04:52.959><c> over,</c>

00:04:54.500 --> 00:04:57.939
we're<00:04:54.939><c> going</c><00:04:55.120><c> to</c><00:04:55.160><c> put</c><00:04:55.360><c> a</c><00:04:55.620><c> few</c><00:04:55.839><c> passages</c><00:04:56.259><c> together</c><00:04:56.920><c> so</c><00:04:57.800><c> that</c><00:04:57.899><c> we</c>

00:04:57.939 --> 00:05:02.920
can<00:04:58.160><c> understand</c><00:04:58.740><c> the</c><00:04:59.240><c> boundaries</c><00:04:59.740><c> of</c><00:05:00.620><c> the</c><00:05:00.839><c> land</c><00:05:01.139><c> that</c><00:05:01.459><c> the</c><00:05:01.620><c> Lord</c><00:05:01.800><c> Jesus</c><00:05:02.139><c> rules</c><00:05:02.459><c> over</c><00:05:02.720><c> at</c>

00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:04.000
this<00:05:03.120><c> time.</c>

00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:06.779
So<00:05:04.779><c> come</c><00:05:05.040><c> back</c><00:05:05.220><c> with</c><00:05:05.360><c> me</c><00:05:05.439><c> to</c><00:05:05.560><c> Genesis</c><00:05:05.839><c> 15.</c><00:05:06.319><c> We're</c><00:05:06.500><c> going</c><00:05:06.579><c> to</c><00:05:06.639><c> go</c>

00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:08.399
all<00:05:06.939><c> the</c><00:05:07.000><c> way</c><00:05:07.120><c> back</c><00:05:07.300><c> to</c><00:05:07.420><c> the</c><00:05:07.620><c> promises.</c>

00:05:09.500 --> 00:05:11.759
Just<00:05:09.699><c> take</c><00:05:09.860><c> a</c><00:05:09.939><c> look</c><00:05:10.019><c> at</c><00:05:10.180><c> this.</c>

00:05:14.019 --> 00:05:18.199
Genesis<00:05:14.459><c> 15,</c><00:05:15.220><c> we're</c><00:05:15.519><c> fairly</c><00:05:15.819><c> familiar</c><00:05:16.160><c> with</c><00:05:16.300><c> these</c><00:05:16.519><c> promises,</c><00:05:17.360><c> but</c><00:05:18.040><c> at</c>

00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.319
least<00:05:18.379><c> for</c><00:05:18.560><c> me,</c><00:05:19.399><c> growing</c><00:05:19.660><c> up</c><00:05:19.939><c> and</c><00:05:20.240><c> just</c><00:05:20.519><c> doing</c><00:05:20.699><c> my</c><00:05:20.920><c> own</c><00:05:21.139><c> studies,</c>

00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.939
I<00:05:21.439><c> never</c><00:05:21.639><c> really</c><00:05:21.920><c> thought</c><00:05:22.199><c> much</c><00:05:22.600><c> about</c><00:05:23.019><c> exactly</c><00:05:23.480><c> what</c><00:05:23.800><c> territory</c><00:05:24.300><c> was</c><00:05:24.540><c> promised</c><00:05:24.819><c> to</c><00:05:25.060><c> Abraham.</c>

00:05:26.300 --> 00:05:28.680
So<00:05:26.339><c> as</c><00:05:26.600><c> we</c><00:05:26.860><c> read</c><00:05:27.040><c> through</c><00:05:27.199><c> this,</c><00:05:27.379><c> just</c><00:05:27.560><c> take</c><00:05:27.740><c> a</c><00:05:27.839><c> look.</c>

00:05:28.939 --> 00:05:32.660
Genesis<00:05:29.259><c> 15,</c><00:05:31.259><c> this</c><00:05:31.439><c> is</c><00:05:31.639><c> the</c><00:05:31.800><c> territory</c><00:05:32.120><c> that</c><00:05:32.240><c> was</c><00:05:32.480><c> promised</c>

00:05:32.660 --> 00:05:33.120
to<00:05:32.899><c> Abraham.</c>

00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.439
It's<00:05:33.360><c> there</c><00:05:33.600><c> in</c><00:05:33.959><c> verse</c><00:05:34.180><c> 18.</c>

00:05:35.779 --> 00:05:37.319
Genesis<00:05:36.079><c> 15</c><00:05:36.420><c> 18.</c>

00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.379
So<00:05:38.000><c> as</c><00:05:38.139><c> we</c><00:05:38.319><c> read,</c><00:05:39.100><c> look</c><00:05:39.199><c> for</c><00:05:39.560><c> the</c><00:05:39.800><c> northern</c><00:05:40.139><c> border</c><00:05:40.600><c> and</c><00:05:41.220><c> the</c>

00:05:41.379 --> 00:05:42.480
southern<00:05:41.519><c> border.</c>

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:44.480
Genesis<00:05:43.500><c> 15</c><00:05:43.860><c> 18.</c>

00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.639
In<00:05:45.040><c> the</c><00:05:45.259><c> same</c><00:05:45.439><c> day,</c><00:05:46.420><c> the</c><00:05:46.519><c> Lord</c><00:05:46.660><c> made</c><00:05:46.860><c> a</c><00:05:47.019><c> covenant</c><00:05:47.199><c> with</c><00:05:47.399><c> Abram</c>

00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.420
saying<00:05:48.180><c> unto</c><00:05:48.819><c> thy</c><00:05:49.180><c> seed</c><00:05:49.399><c> have</c><00:05:49.519><c> I</c><00:05:49.720><c> given</c><00:05:49.860><c> this</c><00:05:50.120><c> land</c><00:05:50.560><c> from</c><00:05:51.240><c> the</c>

00:05:51.420 --> 00:05:54.480
river<00:05:51.620><c> of</c><00:05:51.800><c> Egypt</c><00:05:52.199><c> unto</c><00:05:52.699><c> the</c><00:05:52.899><c> great</c><00:05:53.100><c> river,</c><00:05:53.680><c> the</c><00:05:53.740><c> river</c><00:05:54.000><c> Euphrates.</c>

00:05:54.660 --> 00:05:57.339
Now,<00:05:55.000><c> quick</c><00:05:55.180><c> question.</c><00:05:55.800><c> What</c><00:05:56.019><c> was</c><00:05:56.180><c> the</c><00:05:56.399><c> northern</c><00:05:56.699><c> border</c><00:05:57.079><c> of</c>

00:05:57.339 --> 00:05:58.480
this<00:05:57.540><c> land?</c>

00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:00.879
It's<00:05:59.480><c> going</c><00:05:59.560><c> to</c><00:05:59.660><c> be</c><00:05:59.759><c> the</c><00:05:59.860><c> Euphrates.</c>

00:06:00.939 --> 00:06:03.399
Now,<00:06:01.420><c> this</c><00:06:01.639><c> one's</c><00:06:01.819><c> a</c><00:06:01.899><c> little</c><00:06:02.019><c> bit</c><00:06:02.240><c> trickier.</c>

00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:06.360
Don't<00:06:05.060><c> answer</c><00:06:05.300><c> it</c><00:06:05.459><c> yet.</c>

00:06:07.379 --> 00:06:08.980
What<00:06:07.600><c> was</c><00:06:07.759><c> the</c><00:06:07.959><c> southern</c><00:06:08.180><c> border?</c>

00:06:09.420 --> 00:06:12.319
And<00:06:09.800><c> I</c><00:06:10.019><c> think</c><00:06:10.160><c> immediately</c><00:06:10.660><c> our</c><00:06:11.100><c> mind</c><00:06:11.279><c> says,</c><00:06:11.660><c> well,</c><00:06:11.819><c> look,</c><00:06:12.120><c> it</c>

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:13.620
says<00:06:12.600><c> the</c><00:06:12.879><c> river</c><00:06:13.120><c> of</c><00:06:13.300><c> Egypt.</c>

00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:16.579
Thus,<00:06:14.899><c> we</c><00:06:14.920><c> must</c><00:06:15.120><c> be</c><00:06:15.279><c> referring</c><00:06:15.480><c> to</c><00:06:15.620><c> the</c><00:06:15.740><c> Nile.</c>

00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:18.519
But<00:06:17.399><c> just</c><00:06:17.839><c> read</c><00:06:17.980><c> this</c><00:06:18.139><c> carefully.</c>

00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:20.259
And<00:06:18.939><c> there's</c><00:06:19.060><c> something</c><00:06:19.300><c> there</c><00:06:19.540><c> a</c><00:06:19.579><c> little</c><00:06:19.800><c> bit</c><00:06:20.060><c> strange.</c>

00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:23.060
The<00:06:20.540><c> wording</c><00:06:20.740><c> is</c><00:06:21.279><c> just</c><00:06:21.519><c> slightly</c><00:06:21.720><c> strange</c><00:06:22.279><c> if</c><00:06:22.639><c> this</c><00:06:22.839><c> really</c>

00:06:23.060 --> 00:06:24.660
is<00:06:23.220><c> talking</c><00:06:23.459><c> about</c><00:06:23.660><c> the</c><00:06:23.800><c> Nile.</c>

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.459
Now,<00:06:26.079><c> let's</c><00:06:26.279><c> read</c><00:06:26.379><c> it</c><00:06:26.500><c> again.</c>

00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.420
Unto<00:06:28.279><c> thy</c><00:06:28.519><c> seed</c><00:06:28.699><c> have</c><00:06:28.839><c> I</c><00:06:29.000><c> given</c><00:06:29.160><c> this</c><00:06:29.379><c> land</c><00:06:29.699><c> from</c><00:06:30.079><c> the</c><00:06:30.220><c> river</c>

00:06:30.420 --> 00:06:34.660
of<00:06:30.639><c> Egypt</c><00:06:30.920><c> unto</c><00:06:31.680><c> the</c><00:06:32.620><c> great</c><00:06:33.319><c> river,</c><00:06:33.860><c> the</c><00:06:34.079><c> river</c><00:06:34.240><c> Euphrates.</c>

00:06:34.819 --> 00:06:36.480
Now,<00:06:35.199><c> isn't</c><00:06:35.579><c> that</c><00:06:35.759><c> a</c><00:06:35.839><c> little</c><00:06:35.939><c> bit</c><00:06:36.139><c> odd?</c>

00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.319
And<00:06:37.100><c> if</c><00:06:37.220><c> we're</c><00:06:37.339><c> talking</c><00:06:37.459><c> about</c><00:06:37.620><c> the</c><00:06:37.819><c> Nile</c><00:06:37.939><c> here,</c><00:06:38.540><c> I</c><00:06:38.939><c> would</c><00:06:39.120><c> think</c><00:06:39.220><c> it</c>

00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:44.000
would<00:06:39.519><c> say</c><00:06:39.939><c> from</c><00:06:40.480><c> the</c><00:06:41.120><c> great</c><00:06:41.379><c> river</c><00:06:41.660><c> of</c><00:06:41.860><c> Egypt</c><00:06:42.180><c> to</c><00:06:43.060><c> the</c><00:06:43.439><c> river</c><00:06:43.620><c> Euphrates.</c>

00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.740
But<00:06:44.620><c> it's</c><00:06:45.060><c> backwards</c><00:06:45.500><c> as</c><00:06:46.100><c> to</c><00:06:46.199><c> what</c><00:06:46.279><c> we</c><00:06:46.399><c> would</c><00:06:46.560><c> think.</c>

00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:48.759
The<00:06:47.420><c> Nile</c><00:06:47.620><c> is</c><00:06:47.759><c> the</c><00:06:47.819><c> longest</c><00:06:48.079><c> river</c><00:06:48.279><c> in</c><00:06:48.420><c> the</c><00:06:48.500><c> world.</c>

00:06:49.019 --> 00:06:51.839
So<00:06:49.300><c> why</c><00:06:49.680><c> exactly</c><00:06:50.060><c> then</c><00:06:50.360><c> is</c><00:06:50.660><c> the</c><00:06:50.839><c> river</c><00:06:50.980><c> Euphrates</c><00:06:51.339><c> called</c><00:06:51.579><c> great?</c>

00:06:52.100 --> 00:06:54.740
And<00:06:52.339><c> I</c><00:06:52.480><c> suggest</c><00:06:52.879><c> that</c><00:06:53.279><c> I</c><00:06:53.339><c> think</c><00:06:53.579><c> the</c><00:06:53.779><c> reason</c><00:06:53.980><c> is,</c><00:06:54.379><c> in</c><00:06:54.600><c> fact,</c>

00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:56.839
we're<00:06:55.040><c> not</c><00:06:55.319><c> actually</c><00:06:55.660><c> talking</c><00:06:56.079><c> about</c><00:06:56.300><c> the</c><00:06:56.480><c> Nile.</c>

00:06:57.220 --> 00:06:58.680
This<00:06:57.620><c> is</c><00:06:57.740><c> just</c><00:06:57.920><c> my</c><00:06:58.060><c> suggestion</c><00:06:58.420><c> here.</c>

00:06:59.060 --> 00:07:01.279

00:07:27.860 --> 00:07:29.920
Now,<00:07:28.079><c> you</c><00:07:28.300><c> might</c><00:07:28.459><c> be</c><00:07:28.560><c> able</c><00:07:28.680><c> to</c><00:07:28.800><c> see</c><00:07:28.879><c> that</c><00:07:29.040><c> in</c><00:07:29.120><c> your</c><00:07:29.259><c> Bible,</c><00:07:29.560><c> Max,</c><00:07:29.800><c> in</c>

And<00:07:39.019><c> it</c><00:07:39.339><c> makes</c><00:07:39.660><c> almost</c><00:07:40.060><c> a</c><00:07:40.379><c> due</c><00:07:40.540><c> north</c><00:07:40.720><c> connection</c><00:07:41.060><c> here</c><00:07:41.220><c> with</c>

and<00:08:30.759><c> the</c><00:08:30.899><c> southernmost</c><00:08:31.379><c> was</c><00:08:31.660><c> perhaps</c><00:08:32.440><c> the</c><00:08:32.759><c> brook</c><00:08:32.919><c> of</c><00:08:33.039><c> Egypt.</c>

00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:36.639
So,<00:08:34.899><c> in</c><00:08:35.019><c> fact,</c><00:08:35.240><c> then</c><00:08:35.379><c> the</c><00:08:35.480><c> land</c><00:08:35.759><c> promised</c><00:08:36.080><c> to</c><00:08:36.259><c> Abraham</c><00:08:36.460><c> would</c>

00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:38.639
be<00:08:37.120><c> this</c><00:08:37.500><c> area</c><00:08:37.779><c> here.</c>

00:08:39.539 --> 00:08:40.580
That's<00:08:39.980><c> fairly</c><00:08:40.220><c> large.</c>

00:08:40.860 --> 00:08:42.980
Now,<00:08:41.059><c> I</c><00:08:41.100><c> don't</c><00:08:41.460><c> know</c><00:08:41.600><c> about</c><00:08:41.759><c> you,</c><00:08:41.980><c> but</c><00:08:42.080><c> when</c><00:08:42.259><c> I</c><00:08:42.460><c> used</c><00:08:42.659><c> to</c><00:08:42.799><c> think</c>

00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:43.759
promises<00:08:43.279><c> to</c><00:08:43.500><c> Abraham,</c>

00:08:43.779 --> 00:08:45.879
I<00:08:43.960><c> thought,</c><00:08:44.360><c> oh,</c><00:08:44.679><c> yeah,</c><00:08:44.840><c> you</c><00:08:44.980><c> know,</c><00:08:45.080><c> you'd</c><00:08:45.360><c> get</c><00:08:45.440><c> that</c><00:08:45.659><c> little</c>

00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:46.759
spot<00:08:46.139><c> here</c>

00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.639
that<00:08:47.299><c> Israel</c><00:08:47.539><c> conquered</c><00:08:47.860><c> back</c><00:08:48.039><c> in</c><00:08:48.200><c> 1948.</c>

00:08:48.899 --> 00:08:50.620
And,<00:08:49.039><c> in</c><00:08:49.159><c> fact,</c><00:08:49.240><c> that's</c><00:08:49.580><c> not</c><00:08:49.799><c> true.</c>

00:08:50.659 --> 00:08:52.539
Abraham<00:08:51.039><c> was</c><00:08:51.500><c> promised</c><00:08:51.799><c> this</c><00:08:51.980><c> huge</c><00:08:52.299><c> amount.</c>

00:08:52.539 --> 00:08:55.639
Now,<00:08:53.120><c> not</c><00:08:53.340><c> only</c><00:08:53.519><c> that,</c><00:08:54.019><c> but</c><00:08:54.179><c> it</c><00:08:54.220><c> wasn't</c><00:08:54.440><c> just</c><00:08:54.659><c> Abraham.</c>

00:08:56.059 --> 00:08:58.600
But<00:08:56.259><c> all</c><00:08:56.779><c> throughout</c><00:08:57.000><c> the</c><00:08:57.159><c> years,</c><00:08:57.639><c> this</c><00:08:57.779><c> was</c><00:08:58.000><c> the</c><00:08:58.139><c> land</c><00:08:58.340><c> that</c>

00:08:58.600 --> 00:08:59.899
God<00:08:58.860><c> promised</c><00:08:59.220><c> to</c><00:08:59.419><c> his</c><00:08:59.539><c> people.</c>

00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:02.360
So<00:09:00.279><c> just</c><00:09:00.600><c> turn</c><00:09:00.820><c> over</c><00:09:01.019><c> to</c><00:09:01.200><c> Exodus</c><00:09:01.500><c> 23.</c>

00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:04.700
And<00:09:02.879><c> so</c><00:09:02.980><c> now</c><00:09:03.100><c> we</c><00:09:03.259><c> see</c><00:09:03.440><c> Israel</c><00:09:03.820><c> coming</c><00:09:04.080><c> out</c><00:09:04.240><c> of</c><00:09:04.360><c> Egypt,</c>

00:09:04.940 --> 00:09:08.240
and<00:09:05.019><c> we're</c><00:09:05.159><c> actually</c><00:09:05.399><c> going</c><00:09:05.539><c> to</c><00:09:05.659><c> see</c><00:09:05.759><c> them</c><00:09:06.139><c> promise</c><00:09:06.620><c> the</c><00:09:07.039><c> same</c><00:09:07.279><c> land.</c>

00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:12.720
Exodus<00:09:11.779><c> 23.</c>

00:09:16.299 --> 00:09:18.379
We're<00:09:16.740><c> going</c><00:09:16.799><c> to</c><00:09:16.899><c> read</c><00:09:17.000><c> verse</c><00:09:17.200><c> 31.</c>

00:09:19.299 --> 00:09:20.720
So<00:09:19.440><c> this</c><00:09:19.539><c> is</c><00:09:19.700><c> Moses</c><00:09:19.919><c> telling</c><00:09:20.179><c> the</c><00:09:20.399><c> people,</c>

00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.500
you're<00:09:21.179><c> now</c><00:09:21.419><c> coming</c><00:09:21.639><c> out</c><00:09:21.799><c> of</c><00:09:21.860><c> the</c><00:09:21.960><c> land</c><00:09:22.100><c> of</c><00:09:22.279><c> Egypt.</c>

00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:25.779
This<00:09:22.980><c> is</c><00:09:23.139><c> the</c><00:09:23.279><c> land</c><00:09:23.399><c> that</c><00:09:23.539><c> God</c><00:09:23.700><c> is</c><00:09:23.879><c> going</c><00:09:23.980><c> to</c><00:09:24.100><c> give</c><00:09:24.200><c> to</c><00:09:24.360><c> you.</c>

00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.960
Exodus<00:09:26.200><c> 23,</c><00:09:26.820><c> verse</c><00:09:26.980><c> 31,</c><00:09:28.159><c> says,</c>

00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:43.399
Now,<00:09:42.120><c> quick</c><00:09:42.279><c> question.</c>

00:09:43.539 --> 00:09:47.120
He<00:09:43.759><c> says,</c><00:09:44.500><c> from</c><00:09:44.500><c> the</c><00:09:44.620><c> Red</c><00:09:44.840><c> Sea,</c><00:09:45.159><c> so</c><00:09:45.320><c> we</c><00:09:45.399><c> have</c><00:09:45.539><c> down</c><00:09:45.759><c> here,</c><00:09:46.320><c> Red</c><00:09:46.559><c> Sea,</c>

00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:48.559
to<00:09:47.679><c> the</c><00:09:47.799><c> Sea</c><00:09:47.919><c> of</c><00:09:48.019><c> the</c><00:09:48.159><c> Philistines,</c>

00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.919
Now,<00:09:48.720><c> what</c><00:09:48.840><c> do</c><00:09:48.940><c> you</c><00:09:48.940><c> think</c><00:09:49.139><c> the</c><00:09:49.220><c> Sea</c><00:09:49.399><c> of</c><00:09:49.480><c> the</c><00:09:49.620><c> Philistines</c><00:09:50.039><c> is?</c>

00:09:51.419 --> 00:09:51.820
Mediterranean.

00:09:51.940 --> 00:09:52.279
Mediterranean,<00:09:52.139><c> right?</c>

00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:53.720
The<00:09:52.440><c> Philistines</c><00:09:52.820><c> lived</c><00:09:53.000><c> right</c><00:09:53.240><c> around</c><00:09:53.440><c> here,</c>

00:09:53.860 --> 00:09:54.980
right<00:09:54.019><c> on</c><00:09:54.159><c> the</c><00:09:54.259><c> coast</c><00:09:54.419><c> of</c><00:09:54.519><c> the</c><00:09:54.639><c> Mediterranean.</c>

00:09:55.419 --> 00:09:57.759
So<00:09:55.779><c> God</c><00:09:56.179><c> promised</c><00:09:56.539><c> his</c><00:09:56.759><c> people,</c>

00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:02.500
your<00:09:58.059><c> land</c><00:09:58.419><c> will</c><00:09:58.679><c> stretch</c><00:09:58.940><c> from</c><00:09:59.600><c> the</c><00:10:00.600><c> Red</c><00:10:00.820><c> Sea</c><00:10:00.980><c> to</c><00:10:01.080><c> the</c><00:10:01.279><c> Mediterranean</c><00:10:01.600><c> Sea.</c>

00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:03.399
Isn't<00:10:02.980><c> that</c><00:10:03.120><c> interesting?</c>

00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.220
It's<00:10:03.840><c> the</c><00:10:04.120><c> same</c><00:10:04.340><c> boundary.</c>

00:10:05.340 --> 00:10:09.639
Then<00:10:05.500><c> he</c><00:10:05.620><c> says,</c><00:10:06.120><c> all</c><00:10:06.299><c> the</c><00:10:06.419><c> way,</c><00:10:06.679><c> then,</c><00:10:06.919><c> from</c><00:10:07.059><c> the</c><00:10:07.279><c> Mediterranean</c><00:10:07.580><c> Sea</c><00:10:08.000><c> to</c><00:10:08.659><c> the</c><00:10:08.779><c> river.</c>

00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:11.259
Same<00:10:10.340><c> place.</c>

00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:14.720
Now,<00:10:11.840><c> if</c><00:10:12.019><c> you</c><00:10:12.120><c> just</c><00:10:12.279><c> turn</c><00:10:12.460><c> over</c><00:10:12.620><c> to</c><00:10:12.759><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:10:13.240><c> chapter</c><00:10:13.600><c> 1,</c>

00:10:15.019 --> 00:10:17.340
take<00:10:15.220><c> a</c><00:10:15.340><c> look</c><00:10:15.440><c> and</c><00:10:15.639><c> see,</c><00:10:15.980><c> it's</c><00:10:16.460><c> the</c><00:10:16.600><c> same</c><00:10:16.799><c> land</c><00:10:16.980><c> again.</c>

00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:20.200
So,<00:10:18.700><c> between</c><00:10:19.139><c> Exodus</c><00:10:19.559><c> and</c><00:10:19.740><c> Deuteronomy,</c>

00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.980
the<00:10:20.340><c> children</c><00:10:20.539><c> of</c><00:10:20.639><c> Israel</c><00:10:20.860><c> had</c><00:10:21.019><c> to</c><00:10:21.179><c> wander</c><00:10:21.399><c> for</c><00:10:21.580><c> their</c><00:10:21.799><c> 40</c><00:10:21.960><c> years.</c>

00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.720
And<00:10:23.519><c> when</c><00:10:23.600><c> you</c><00:10:23.700><c> come</c><00:10:23.820><c> to</c><00:10:23.919><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:10:24.340><c> chapter</c><00:10:24.679><c> 1,</c>

00:10:25.820 --> 00:10:27.539
they're<00:10:26.019><c> now</c><00:10:26.259><c> about</c><00:10:26.519><c> to</c><00:10:26.720><c> enter</c><00:10:26.879><c> into</c><00:10:27.019><c> the</c><00:10:27.240><c> land,</c>

00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.360
and<00:10:28.100><c> Moses</c><00:10:28.360><c> now</c><00:10:28.779><c> reiterates</c><00:10:29.179><c> the</c><00:10:29.440><c> promise.</c>

00:10:31.259 --> 00:10:35.059
Deuteronomy<00:10:31.700><c> 1,</c><00:10:32.220><c> we're</c><00:10:32.379><c> going</c><00:10:32.480><c> to</c><00:10:32.679><c> start</c><00:10:32.940><c> at</c><00:10:33.059><c> verse</c><00:10:33.220><c> 7.</c>

00:10:36.820 --> 00:10:39.080
Deuteronomy<00:10:37.259><c> 1,</c><00:10:37.460><c> verse</c><00:10:37.620><c> 7.</c>

00:10:57.019 --> 00:11:00.299
And<00:10:57.460><c> so</c><00:10:57.899><c> he's</c><00:10:58.220><c> told,</c><00:10:59.340><c> basically,</c><00:10:59.659><c> your</c><00:10:59.659><c> boundary</c><00:11:00.019><c> is</c><00:11:00.100><c> going</c>

00:11:00.299 --> 00:11:01.720
to<00:11:00.460><c> be</c>

00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.399
all<00:11:02.500><c> the</c><00:11:02.679><c> seaside</c><00:11:03.440><c> to</c><00:11:03.620><c> the</c><00:11:03.740><c> land</c><00:11:03.860><c> of</c><00:11:04.000><c> the</c><00:11:04.139><c> Canaanites.</c>

00:11:04.419 --> 00:11:06.240
So<00:11:04.559><c> from</c><00:11:04.679><c> the</c><00:11:04.860><c> Mediterranean,</c><00:11:05.779><c> up</c><00:11:05.940><c> here,</c>

00:11:06.419 --> 00:11:08.980
through<00:11:06.700><c> the</c><00:11:06.820><c> land</c><00:11:06.940><c> of</c><00:11:07.080><c> the</c><00:11:07.179><c> Canaanites,</c><00:11:07.840><c> to</c><00:11:07.980><c> Lebanon,</c>

00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:11.840
to<00:11:10.139><c> the</c><00:11:10.440><c> great</c><00:11:10.659><c> river,</c><00:11:11.179><c> the</c><00:11:11.299><c> river</c><00:11:11.480><c> Euphrates.</c>

00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.940
So<00:11:12.320><c> he</c><00:11:12.419><c> would</c><00:11:12.539><c> have</c><00:11:12.639><c> this</c><00:11:12.879><c> area,</c><00:11:14.200><c> and</c><00:11:14.320><c> the</c><00:11:14.419><c> Euphrates</c><00:11:14.659><c> River.</c>

00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:16.419
It's<00:11:15.639><c> the</c><00:11:15.820><c> same</c><00:11:16.039><c> area.</c>

00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:17.320

00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:21.039
And<00:11:18.679><c> in</c><00:11:19.039><c> fact,</c><00:11:19.740><c> we</c><00:11:19.840><c> know</c><00:11:20.100><c> that</c><00:11:20.259><c> it's</c><00:11:20.419><c> the</c><00:11:20.519><c> same</c><00:11:20.700><c> area,</c>

00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:22.879
because<00:11:21.419><c> if</c><00:11:21.580><c> you</c><00:11:21.659><c> read</c><00:11:21.820><c> verse</c><00:11:22.059><c> 8,</c>

00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:25.820
notice<00:11:23.360><c> what</c><00:11:23.519><c> Moses</c><00:11:23.740><c> says</c><00:11:23.980><c> about</c><00:11:24.220><c> it.</c>

00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.299
So<00:11:36.679><c> Moses</c><00:11:37.019><c> actually</c><00:11:37.399><c> says,</c><00:11:38.059><c> by</c><00:11:38.200><c> the</c><00:11:38.379><c> way,</c>

00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:42.500
this<00:11:39.559><c> is</c><00:11:39.720><c> the</c><00:11:39.879><c> same</c><00:11:40.100><c> land</c><00:11:40.379><c> that</c><00:11:41.120><c> you</c><00:11:41.240><c> were</c><00:11:41.379><c> told</c><00:11:41.500><c> about</c><00:11:41.679><c> in</c><00:11:41.799><c> Genesis</c><00:11:42.059><c> 15.</c>

00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:43.659
So<00:11:42.840><c> we</c><00:11:42.980><c> see</c><00:11:43.059><c> it's</c><00:11:43.240><c> the</c><00:11:43.320><c> same</c><00:11:43.480><c> thing.</c>

00:11:43.779 --> 00:11:44.639
If<00:11:43.879><c> you</c><00:11:44.019><c> want</c><00:11:44.120><c> another</c><00:11:44.320><c> reference,</c>

00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:45.840
we're<00:11:44.779><c> not</c><00:11:44.919><c> going</c><00:11:45.080><c> to</c><00:11:45.200><c> look</c><00:11:45.279><c> this</c><00:11:45.480><c> one</c><00:11:45.600><c> up,</c>

00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:47.340

00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:51.580
Deuteronomy<00:11:47.899><c> 11,</c><00:11:48.399><c> 23,</c><00:11:48.860><c> and</c><00:11:48.980><c> 24</c><00:11:49.440><c> says</c><00:11:49.879><c> the</c><00:11:50.179><c> same</c><00:11:50.539><c> thing.</c>

00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:53.539

00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.820
God<00:11:53.899><c> promised</c><00:11:54.279><c> this</c><00:11:54.480><c> section</c><00:11:54.759><c> of</c><00:11:54.980><c> land</c><00:11:55.200><c> to</c><00:11:55.480><c> the</c><00:11:55.600><c> children</c><00:11:55.779><c> of</c><00:11:55.940><c> Israel.</c>

00:11:57.139 --> 00:11:59.539
And<00:11:57.299><c> so</c><00:11:57.379><c> once</c><00:11:57.580><c> again,</c><00:11:58.080><c> I</c><00:11:58.200><c> really</c><00:11:58.659><c> want</c><00:11:58.860><c> to</c><00:11:59.000><c> hammer</c><00:11:59.139><c> this</c><00:11:59.379><c> home,</c>

00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:01.019
because<00:11:59.740><c> I</c><00:11:59.879><c> don't</c><00:12:00.059><c> think</c><00:12:00.179><c> we</c><00:12:00.360><c> often</c><00:12:00.559><c> look</c><00:12:00.720><c> at</c><00:12:00.879><c> this.</c>

00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:02.840
Often<00:12:01.419><c> we</c><00:12:01.559><c> read</c><00:12:01.740><c> through</c><00:12:01.899><c> the</c><00:12:02.100><c> promises,</c><00:12:02.320><c> and</c><00:12:02.440><c> we</c><00:12:02.539><c> think,</c><00:12:02.679><c> oh,</c>

00:12:02.860 --> 00:12:03.840
the<00:12:03.000><c> Nile.</c>

00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.500
But<00:12:04.279><c> we're</c><00:12:04.460><c> actually</c><00:12:04.759><c> looking</c><00:12:05.039><c> at</c><00:12:05.700><c> directly</c><00:12:06.080><c> north</c><00:12:06.340><c> of</c><00:12:06.460><c> the</c>

00:12:11.779 --> 00:12:14.320

00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.299
There's<00:12:16.360><c> those</c><00:12:16.519><c> boundaries</c><00:12:16.860><c> that</c><00:12:17.080><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:12:17.419><c> 11</c><00:12:17.639><c> talks</c><00:12:17.940><c> about.</c>

00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.139
One<00:12:18.820><c> final</c><00:12:19.039><c> proof</c><00:12:19.220><c> of</c><00:12:19.340><c> this,</c><00:12:19.559><c> come</c><00:12:19.620><c> with</c><00:12:19.759><c> me</c><00:12:19.840><c> to</c><00:12:19.940><c> 1</c><00:12:20.100><c> Kings</c><00:12:20.279><c> 4.</c>

1<00:12:27.159><c> Kings</c><00:12:27.419><c> 4,</c>

00:12:30.419 --> 00:12:32.820
this<00:12:30.419><c> is</c><00:12:30.600><c> now</c><00:12:30.799><c> the</c><00:12:30.940><c> Kingdom</c><00:12:31.159><c> of</c><00:12:31.419><c> Solomon.</c>

00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:43.039
here's<00:12:40.620><c> what</c><00:12:40.759><c> we</c><00:12:40.960><c> read</c><00:12:41.299><c> about</c><00:12:41.679><c> his</c><00:12:41.919><c> territory.</c>

00:12:44.139 --> 00:12:46.860
1<00:12:44.659><c> Kings</c><00:12:44.860><c> 4,</c><00:12:45.100><c> verse</c><00:12:45.259><c> 21.</c>

00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:49.639
And<00:12:47.720><c> Solomon</c><00:12:47.980><c> reigned</c><00:12:48.259><c> over</c><00:12:48.519><c> all</c><00:12:48.779><c> kingdoms</c>

00:12:50.019 --> 00:12:54.360
from<00:12:50.539><c> the</c><00:12:50.940><c> river,</c><00:12:51.360><c> which</c><00:12:51.519><c> would</c><00:12:51.740><c> be</c><00:12:52.000><c> the</c><00:12:52.200><c> river</c><00:12:53.320><c> Euphrates,</c>

00:12:54.860 --> 00:12:57.299
from<00:12:55.080><c> the</c><00:12:55.279><c> river,</c><00:12:56.279><c> unto</c><00:12:56.360><c> the</c><00:12:56.519><c> land</c><00:12:56.659><c> of</c><00:12:56.799><c> the</c><00:12:56.899><c> Philistines,</c>

00:12:57.299 --> 00:12:58.940
so<00:12:57.559><c> back</c><00:12:57.759><c> to</c><00:12:57.879><c> the</c><00:12:58.019><c> Mediterranean,</c>

00:13:00.059 --> 00:13:02.179
and<00:13:00.500><c> unto</c><00:13:00.899><c> the</c><00:13:01.039><c> border</c><00:13:01.200><c> of</c><00:13:01.440><c> Egypt.</c>

00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:04.700
So<00:13:02.279><c> Solomon's</c><00:13:03.259><c> kingdom</c><00:13:03.679><c> was</c><00:13:04.039><c> the</c><00:13:04.220><c> same</c><00:13:04.399><c> place,</c>

00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:08.159
from<00:13:05.019><c> the</c><00:13:05.179><c> river,</c><00:13:06.000><c> to</c><00:13:06.120><c> the</c><00:13:06.299><c> Mediterranean,</c><00:13:07.639><c> to</c><00:13:07.779><c> Egypt,</c>

00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:10.860
to<00:13:08.799><c> where</c><00:13:09.200><c> the</c><00:13:09.360><c> brook</c><00:13:09.480><c> of</c><00:13:09.600><c> Egypt</c><00:13:09.779><c> would</c><00:13:09.980><c> be.</c>

00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:15.639
So,<00:13:13.500><c> over</c><00:13:13.539><c> and</c><00:13:13.740><c> over</c><00:13:13.940><c> and</c><00:13:13.980><c> over,</c><00:13:14.299><c> we</c><00:13:14.360><c> see</c><00:13:14.559><c> this</c><00:13:14.700><c> is</c><00:13:14.860><c> the</c><00:13:14.960><c> same</c><00:13:15.100><c> territory.</c>

00:13:16.019 --> 00:13:18.120
Now,<00:13:16.440><c> here's</c><00:13:16.679><c> what's</c><00:13:16.980><c> fascinating</c><00:13:17.299><c> about</c><00:13:17.559><c> all</c><00:13:17.720><c> of</c><00:13:17.840><c> this.</c>

00:13:18.620 --> 00:13:20.360
Here's<00:13:18.759><c> why</c><00:13:18.860><c> this</c><00:13:19.019><c> really</c><00:13:19.220><c> matters.</c>

00:13:22.220 --> 00:13:24.840
Were<00:13:22.320><c> the</c><00:13:22.460><c> promises</c><00:13:22.720><c> to</c><00:13:22.940><c> Abraham</c><00:13:23.200><c> fulfilled?</c><00:13:23.940><c> Everyone?</c>

00:13:25.379 --> 00:13:27.539
No.<00:13:26.220><c> Right?</c><00:13:26.700><c> They</c><00:13:27.019><c> weren't</c><00:13:27.259><c> fulfilled.</c>

00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:29.539
So<00:13:27.860><c> we</c><00:13:27.960><c> looked</c><00:13:28.139><c> for</c><00:13:28.279><c> their</c><00:13:28.460><c> fulfillment,</c><00:13:29.360><c> right?</c>

00:13:29.539 --> 00:13:33.159
We<00:13:29.659><c> looked</c><00:13:29.820><c> for</c><00:13:29.980><c> this</c><00:13:30.200><c> land</c><00:13:30.419><c> to</c><00:13:30.580><c> be</c><00:13:30.720><c> given</c><00:13:31.080><c> in</c><00:13:31.879><c> the</c><00:13:32.000><c> Kingdom</c><00:13:32.159><c> of</c><00:13:32.279><c> God.</c>

00:13:33.299 --> 00:13:36.500
Now,<00:13:33.460><c> on</c><00:13:33.620><c> top</c><00:13:33.720><c> of</c><00:13:33.919><c> that,</c><00:13:34.580><c> Solomon,</c><00:13:35.580><c> in</c><00:13:35.740><c> the</c><00:13:35.860><c> beginning</c><00:13:36.019><c> of</c><00:13:36.179><c> his</c><00:13:36.320><c> reign,</c>

00:13:36.740 --> 00:13:39.019
was<00:13:36.860><c> a</c><00:13:37.000><c> wonderful</c><00:13:37.399><c> picture</c><00:13:37.820><c> of</c><00:13:38.139><c> the</c><00:13:38.259><c> Lord</c><00:13:38.399><c> Jesus</c><00:13:38.700><c> Christ,</c>

00:13:39.019 --> 00:13:40.519

00:13:40.659 --> 00:13:42.220
So<00:13:40.659><c> we</c><00:13:40.679><c> have</c><00:13:40.879><c> Solomon</c><00:13:41.179><c> as</c><00:13:41.399><c> a</c><00:13:41.480><c> type,</c>

00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:45.179
we<00:13:42.700><c> have</c><00:13:43.100><c> this</c><00:13:43.600><c> land</c><00:13:43.840><c> promised</c><00:13:44.059><c> to</c><00:13:44.279><c> Abraham</c><00:13:44.480><c> never</c><00:13:44.740><c> was</c><00:13:44.960><c> given,</c>

00:13:45.299 --> 00:13:46.399
and<00:13:45.440><c> will</c><00:13:45.580><c> be</c><00:13:45.759><c> given</c><00:13:45.860><c> in</c><00:13:46.000><c> the</c><00:13:46.120><c> Kingdom,</c>

00:13:46.899 --> 00:13:49.860
and<00:13:47.100><c> so</c><00:13:47.460><c> what</c><00:13:48.120><c> I'm</c><00:13:48.299><c> trying</c><00:13:48.500><c> to</c><00:13:48.600><c> bring</c><00:13:48.720><c> out</c><00:13:48.919><c> here</c><00:13:49.120><c> is,</c>

00:13:50.139 --> 00:13:52.500

It's<00:16:27.860><c> the</c><00:16:28.019><c> same</c><00:16:28.220><c> territory</c><00:16:28.899><c> over</c><00:16:29.559><c> and</c><00:16:29.860><c> over</c><00:16:30.179><c> and</c><00:16:30.460><c> over</c><00:16:30.679><c> in</c><00:16:30.840><c> scripture.</c>

00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:34.740
We're<00:16:31.559><c> told</c><00:16:31.879><c> that</c><00:16:32.320><c> this</c><00:16:32.600><c> is</c><00:16:32.960><c> a</c><00:16:33.379><c> special</c><00:16:33.740><c> area</c><00:16:34.139><c> to</c><00:16:34.340><c> God,</c>

00:16:38.259 --> 00:16:41.159
This<00:16:38.419><c> will</c><00:16:38.539><c> be</c><00:16:38.639><c> the</c><00:16:38.820><c> territory</c><00:16:39.360><c> over</c><00:16:39.659><c> which</c><00:16:39.840><c> the</c><00:16:40.039><c> Lord</c><00:16:40.200><c> Jesus</c><00:16:40.539><c> reigns</c>

00:16:44.980 --> 00:16:46.539

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:58.620
we're<00:16:54.519><c> then</c><00:16:54.799><c> told</c><00:16:55.559><c> what</c><00:16:56.539><c> the</c><00:16:56.720><c> children</c><00:16:56.940><c> of</c><00:16:57.080><c> Israel</c><00:16:57.460><c> began</c><00:16:57.940><c> to</c><00:16:58.200><c> do</c>

Notice<00:17:12.359><c> this,</c><00:17:13.380><c> and</c><00:17:13.460><c> just</c><00:17:13.559><c> look</c><00:17:13.700><c> at</c><00:17:13.779><c> how</c><00:17:13.839><c> this</c><00:17:14.019><c> all</c><00:17:14.160><c> fits</c><00:17:14.299><c> together.</c>

00:17:18.380 --> 00:17:20.299
The<00:17:18.559><c> Jews</c><00:17:18.720><c> are</c><00:17:18.900><c> now</c><00:17:19.140><c> traveling</c><00:17:19.400><c> out</c><00:17:19.559><c> of</c><00:17:19.640><c> these</c><00:17:19.799><c> nations,</c>

00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:35.700
They<00:17:32.420><c> shall</c><00:17:32.619><c> tremble</c><00:17:33.359><c> as</c><00:17:33.940><c> a</c><00:17:34.180><c> bird</c><00:17:34.420><c> out</c><00:17:34.660><c> of</c><00:17:34.819><c> Egypt,</c>

You<00:18:57.019><c> know,</c><00:18:57.480><c> we</c><00:18:58.220><c> think</c><00:18:58.480><c> about</c><00:18:58.859><c> this</c><00:18:59.299><c> parting</c><00:18:59.539><c> of</c><00:18:59.720><c> the</c><00:18:59.779><c> Red</c><00:19:00.099><c> Sea</c>

00:19:01.819 --> 00:19:03.619
We<00:19:02.000><c> think</c><00:19:02.160><c> of</c><00:19:02.259><c> this</c><00:19:02.400><c> as</c><00:19:02.559><c> just</c><00:19:02.880><c> things</c><00:19:03.079><c> of</c><00:19:03.299><c> old</c>

00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:54.480
So<00:19:51.660><c> here</c><00:19:51.900><c> are</c><00:19:52.000><c> His</c><00:19:52.119><c> people</c><00:19:52.660><c> gathering</c><00:19:53.240><c> together</c><00:19:53.720><c> in</c><00:19:53.980><c> Egypt</c>

They're<00:19:57.819><c> waiting</c><00:19:58.079><c> and</c><00:19:58.339><c> suddenly</c>

and<00:21:16.539><c> the</c><00:21:16.680><c> scepter</c><00:21:16.900><c> of</c><00:21:17.019><c> Egypt</c><00:21:17.200><c> shall</c><00:21:17.380><c> depart</c><00:21:17.640><c> away.</c>

00:21:19.819 --> 00:21:22.019
And<00:21:20.039><c> here</c><00:21:20.160><c> we</c><00:21:20.319><c> have</c><00:21:20.440><c> the</c><00:21:20.640><c> people</c><00:21:20.819><c> of</c><00:21:21.019><c> God</c>

00:21:22.019 --> 00:21:25.759
being<00:21:22.680><c> saved</c><00:21:23.299><c> from</c><00:21:23.960><c> those</c><00:21:24.160><c> who</c><00:21:24.359><c> held</c><00:21:24.440><c> them</c><00:21:24.599><c> captive</c>

00:21:25.779 --> 00:21:27.960
and<00:21:26.220><c> now</c><00:21:26.500><c> entering</c><00:21:26.799><c> into</c><00:21:27.160><c> the</c><00:21:27.359><c> land</c>

00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:32.359
which<00:21:28.579><c> had</c><00:21:28.740><c> been</c><00:21:28.980><c> promised</c><00:21:29.480><c> to</c><00:21:30.119><c> their</c><00:21:30.319><c> fathers</c><00:21:30.640><c> for</c><00:21:30.859><c> thousands</c><00:21:31.160><c> of</c><00:21:31.359><c> years</c>

00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:36.759
and<00:21:33.279><c> is</c><00:21:33.460><c> now</c><00:21:33.660><c> in</c><00:21:33.839><c> control</c><00:21:34.619><c> of</c><00:21:35.079><c> their</c><00:21:35.220><c> messiah.</c>

00:21:37.619 --> 00:21:40.480
Now<00:21:38.099><c> we</c><00:21:38.500><c> just</c><00:21:38.720><c> have</c><00:21:38.799><c> this</c><00:21:38.980><c> beautiful</c><00:21:39.339><c> picture</c>

00:21:41.099 --> 00:21:43.079
and<00:21:41.579><c> yet</c><00:21:41.680><c> it's</c><00:21:41.819><c> not</c><00:21:42.019><c> over.</c>

00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:44.619
Because<00:21:43.900><c> as</c><00:21:44.079><c> we</c><00:21:44.259><c> read,</c>

00:21:44.980 --> 00:21:47.880
God<00:21:45.220><c> will</c><00:21:45.420><c> bring</c><00:21:45.559><c> them</c><00:21:45.720><c> out</c><00:21:45.880><c> with</c><00:21:46.119><c> fury</c><00:21:46.400><c> poured</c><00:21:46.660><c> out</c>

00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:50.980
and<00:21:48.400><c> he</c><00:21:48.480><c> will</c><00:21:48.640><c> bring</c><00:21:48.779><c> them</c><00:21:48.920><c> into</c><00:21:49.119><c> the</c><00:21:49.299><c> wilderness</c><00:21:49.579><c> of</c><00:21:49.740><c> the</c><00:21:49.900><c> people.</c>

00:21:52.059 --> 00:21:54.640
And<00:21:52.220><c> so</c><00:21:52.299><c> now</c><00:21:52.640><c> these</c><00:21:52.960><c> people</c><00:21:53.200><c> are</c><00:21:53.359><c> going</c><00:21:53.480><c> to</c><00:21:53.680><c> wander</c>

00:21:54.740 --> 00:21:56.400
through<00:21:55.220><c> the</c><00:21:55.400><c> wilderness</c>

00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:58.599
so<00:21:56.920><c> that</c><00:21:57.000><c> they</c><00:21:57.039><c> might</c><00:21:57.200><c> be</c><00:21:57.440><c> tried</c><00:21:57.759><c> and</c><00:21:58.200><c> tested</c>

00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:01.200
and<00:21:59.299><c> purged</c><00:21:59.839><c> for</c><00:22:00.019><c> their</c><00:22:00.160><c> God.</c>

00:22:02.140 --> 00:22:04.119
And<00:22:02.240><c> so</c><00:22:02.339><c> just</c><00:22:02.460><c> look</c><00:22:02.579><c> at</c><00:22:02.660><c> how</c><00:22:02.779><c> the</c><00:22:02.900><c> story</c><00:22:03.099><c> continues.</c>

00:22:04.619 --> 00:22:07.039
If<00:22:04.779><c> you</c><00:22:04.799><c> come</c><00:22:04.960><c> with</c><00:22:05.119><c> me</c><00:22:05.259><c> to</c><00:22:05.839><c> Jeremiah</c><00:22:06.220><c> chapter</c><00:22:06.559><c> 12,</c>

00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:09.440
I<00:22:07.420><c> think</c><00:22:07.740><c> one</c><00:22:08.059><c> thing</c><00:22:08.220><c> that's</c><00:22:08.400><c> important</c><00:22:08.700><c> for</c><00:22:08.819><c> us</c><00:22:09.019><c> to</c><00:22:09.200><c> do</c>

00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:13.599
is<00:22:09.859><c> really</c><00:22:10.079><c> just</c><00:22:10.299><c> establish</c><00:22:10.819><c> what</c><00:22:12.180><c> is</c><00:22:12.480><c> this</c><00:22:12.700><c> wilderness.</c>

00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:14.920
We're<00:22:14.079><c> going</c><00:22:14.140><c> to</c><00:22:14.240><c> spend</c><00:22:14.359><c> some</c><00:22:14.599><c> time</c><00:22:14.720><c> now,</c>

00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:16.519
it's<00:22:15.299><c> the</c><00:22:15.480><c> second</c><00:22:15.660><c> section</c><00:22:15.940><c> of</c><00:22:16.079><c> our</c><00:22:16.259><c> class,</c>

00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:18.819
just<00:22:16.940><c> looking</c><00:22:17.140><c> at</c><00:22:17.460><c> this</c><00:22:17.680><c> wilderness,</c><00:22:18.299><c> what</c><00:22:18.460><c> is</c><00:22:18.660><c> it,</c>

00:22:18.859 --> 00:22:21.799
how<00:22:19.119><c> long</c><00:22:19.259><c> are</c><00:22:19.380><c> they</c><00:22:19.519><c> there,</c><00:22:19.880><c> and</c><00:22:20.160><c> what</c><00:22:20.339><c> happens</c><00:22:20.619><c> to</c><00:22:20.779><c> them</c><00:22:20.920><c> there.</c>

00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:24.200
So<00:22:22.460><c> we're</c><00:22:22.660><c> in</c><00:22:23.019><c> Jeremiah</c><00:22:23.359><c> chapter</c><00:22:23.619><c> 12,</c>

00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:25.839
and<00:22:24.579><c> what</c><00:22:24.759><c> I'm</c><00:22:24.900><c> going</c><00:22:25.019><c> to</c><00:22:25.160><c> suggest</c><00:22:25.500><c> is,</c>

00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:27.940
I<00:22:26.140><c> actually</c><00:22:26.420><c> think</c><00:22:26.720><c> the</c><00:22:27.019><c> wilderness</c><00:22:27.400><c> here</c>

00:22:27.940 --> 00:22:29.099
that<00:22:28.319><c> God</c><00:22:28.500><c> is</c><00:22:28.660><c> talking</c><00:22:28.900><c> about,</c>

00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:31.460
the<00:22:29.240><c> wilderness</c><00:22:29.539><c> that</c><00:22:29.700><c> he's</c><00:22:29.819><c> going</c><00:22:29.960><c> to</c><00:22:30.099><c> bring</c><00:22:30.180><c> his</c><00:22:30.380><c> people</c><00:22:30.579><c> into</c>

00:22:31.660 --> 00:22:33.619
is<00:22:32.140><c> actually</c><00:22:32.619><c> this</c><00:22:32.980><c> land</c><00:22:33.160><c> of</c><00:22:33.380><c> Judah</c>

00:22:33.619 --> 00:22:35.819
that's<00:22:34.440><c> ruled</c><00:22:34.599><c> over</c><00:22:34.759><c> by</c><00:22:34.920><c> the</c><00:22:35.019><c> Lord</c><00:22:35.140><c> Jesus</c><00:22:35.460><c> Christ.</c>

00:22:36.140 --> 00:22:37.480
What<00:22:36.579><c> better</c><00:22:36.799><c> place</c><00:22:37.019><c> to</c><00:22:37.180><c> have</c><00:22:37.339><c> them?</c>

00:22:37.539 --> 00:22:40.019
Because<00:22:37.759><c> here</c><00:22:38.500><c> the</c><00:22:38.920><c> Lord</c><00:22:39.119><c> Jesus</c><00:22:39.460><c> is</c><00:22:39.779><c> ruling,</c>

00:22:40.019 --> 00:22:42.720
he<00:22:40.180><c> can</c><00:22:40.420><c> control</c><00:22:40.720><c> all</c><00:22:40.940><c> the</c><00:22:41.059><c> things</c><00:22:41.180><c> that</c><00:22:41.319><c> are</c><00:22:41.440><c> happening</c><00:22:41.680><c> to</c><00:22:41.880><c> them.</c>

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:44.579
And<00:22:43.480><c> on</c><00:22:43.799><c> top</c><00:22:43.960><c> of</c><00:22:44.160><c> that,</c>

00:22:44.819 --> 00:22:47.980
just<00:22:45.140><c> to</c><00:22:45.359><c> kind</c><00:22:45.480><c> of</c><00:22:46.180><c> back</c><00:22:46.319><c> this</c><00:22:46.480><c> up</c><00:22:46.599><c> a</c><00:22:46.700><c> little</c><00:22:46.859><c> bit,</c>

00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.099
this<00:22:48.200><c> area,</c><00:22:49.160><c> that</c><00:22:49.420><c> area</c><00:22:49.700><c> promised</c><00:22:50.019><c> to</c><00:22:50.259><c> Abraham,</c>

00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:55.720
is<00:22:52.160><c> always</c><00:22:52.680><c> called,</c><00:22:53.099><c> over</c><00:22:53.440><c> and</c><00:22:53.619><c> over,</c><00:22:54.779><c> wilderness.</c>

00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.779
So<00:22:56.319><c> just</c><00:22:56.660><c> take</c><00:22:56.839><c> a</c><00:22:56.980><c> look,</c><00:22:57.220><c> Jeremiah</c><00:22:57.460><c> 12,</c><00:22:57.940><c> and</c><00:22:57.940><c> it's</c><00:22:58.059><c> verse</c><00:22:58.220><c> 10.</c>

00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:01.640
It<00:23:00.160><c> says,</c><00:23:01.000><c> Jeremiah</c><00:23:01.000><c> 12</c><00:23:01.339><c>.10,</c>

00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:04.420
many<00:23:02.079><c> pastors</c><00:23:02.519><c> have</c><00:23:02.759><c> destroyed</c><00:23:03.200><c> my</c><00:23:03.480><c> vineyard.</c>

00:23:04.500 --> 00:23:06.339
They<00:23:04.680><c> have</c><00:23:04.880><c> trodden</c><00:23:05.180><c> my</c><00:23:05.460><c> portion</c><00:23:05.799><c> underfoot</c>

00:23:06.339 --> 00:23:08.200
to<00:23:06.779><c> the</c><00:23:06.980><c> land</c><00:23:07.119><c> here</c><00:23:07.240><c> of</c><00:23:07.359><c> Israel.</c>

00:23:08.299 --> 00:23:11.619
They<00:23:08.539><c> have</c><00:23:08.740><c> made</c><00:23:08.900><c> my</c><00:23:09.160><c> pleasant</c><00:23:09.500><c> portion</c><00:23:10.039><c> a</c><00:23:10.700><c> desolate</c><00:23:11.099><c> wilderness.</c>

00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:13.400
And<00:23:12.099><c> so</c><00:23:12.299><c> for</c><00:23:12.640><c> years</c><00:23:12.940><c> and</c><00:23:13.079><c> years,</c>

00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:15.900
that<00:23:13.740><c> area</c><00:23:14.200><c> was</c><00:23:14.660><c> just</c><00:23:14.859><c> a</c><00:23:14.980><c> wilderness.</c>

00:23:16.140 --> 00:23:18.900
Jeremiah<00:23:16.420><c> 23</c><00:23:16.880><c>.10</c><00:23:17.180><c> tells</c><00:23:17.400><c> us</c><00:23:17.579><c> the</c><00:23:17.700><c> same</c><00:23:17.859><c> thing.</c>

00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:27.599
Jeremiah<00:23:21.640><c> 23</c><00:23:22.079><c>.10</c><00:23:26.400><c> says,</c>

00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:29.940
For<00:23:28.220><c> the</c><00:23:28.380><c> land</c><00:23:28.640><c> is</c><00:23:28.819><c> full</c><00:23:29.019><c> of</c><00:23:29.200><c> adulterers.</c>

00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:32.019
For<00:23:30.440><c> because</c><00:23:30.660><c> of</c><00:23:30.920><c> swearing,</c><00:23:31.240><c> the</c><00:23:31.339><c> land</c><00:23:31.519><c> mourneth.</c>

00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:35.839
The<00:23:32.400><c> pleasant</c><00:23:32.680><c> places</c><00:23:33.099><c> of</c><00:23:33.740><c> the</c><00:23:34.359><c> wilderness</c><00:23:34.819><c> are</c><00:23:35.319><c> dried</c><00:23:35.519><c> up.</c>

00:23:36.099 --> 00:23:36.940
Their<00:23:36.279><c> course</c><00:23:36.480><c> is</c><00:23:36.680><c> evil.</c>

00:23:37.180 --> 00:23:38.279
Their<00:23:37.420><c> force</c><00:23:37.680><c> is</c><00:23:37.920><c> not</c><00:23:38.119><c> right.</c>

00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:39.079
And<00:23:38.579><c> so</c><00:23:38.660><c> once</c><00:23:38.839><c> again,</c>

00:23:39.259 --> 00:23:41.059
the<00:23:39.339><c> land</c><00:23:39.480><c> of</c><00:23:39.619><c> Israel</c><00:23:39.980><c> referred</c><00:23:40.420><c> to</c><00:23:40.539><c> as</c><00:23:40.660><c> a</c><00:23:40.779><c> wilderness.</c>

00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:43.019
And<00:23:41.559><c> you</c><00:23:42.039><c> might</c><00:23:42.240><c> think,</c><00:23:42.460><c> well,</c><00:23:42.599><c> wait</c><00:23:42.759><c> a</c><00:23:42.859><c> minute,</c>

00:23:43.380 --> 00:23:45.880
this<00:23:43.579><c> is</c><00:23:44.299><c> almost</c><00:23:44.579><c> a</c><00:23:44.980><c> punishment.</c>

00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:48.200
This<00:23:46.859><c> wilderness</c><00:23:47.400><c> was</c><00:23:47.779><c> a</c><00:23:47.920><c> time,</c>

00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:49.759
this<00:23:48.400><c> is</c><00:23:48.559><c> a</c><00:23:48.660><c> time</c><00:23:48.779><c> of</c><00:23:48.960><c> punishment</c><00:23:49.220><c> for</c><00:23:49.400><c> Israel</c>

00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:51.319
for<00:23:50.079><c> their</c><00:23:50.259><c> lack</c><00:23:50.420><c> of</c><00:23:50.680><c> faith</c><00:23:50.819><c> in</c><00:23:50.980><c> their</c><00:23:51.140><c> God.</c>

00:23:51.420 --> 00:23:54.259
So<00:23:51.480><c> he</c><00:23:51.599><c> turned</c><00:23:51.880><c> their</c><00:23:52.099><c> pleasant</c><00:23:52.500><c> land</c><00:23:52.819><c> into</c><00:23:53.279><c> a</c><00:23:53.440><c> wilderness.</c>

00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:56.640
But<00:23:54.720><c> we're</c><00:23:54.799><c> talking</c><00:23:55.059><c> now</c><00:23:55.240><c> about</c><00:23:55.380><c> the</c><00:23:55.519><c> kingdom</c><00:23:55.660><c> age.</c>

00:23:56.779 --> 00:23:58.559
We<00:23:57.180><c> can't</c><00:23:57.400><c> say</c><00:23:57.519><c> it</c><00:23:57.579><c> would</c><00:23:57.660><c> be</c><00:23:57.779><c> a</c><00:23:57.900><c> wilderness</c><00:23:58.119><c> anymore.</c>

just<00:24:21.319><c> for</c><00:24:21.519><c> context.</c>

00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:31.539
Ezekiel<00:24:27.859><c> 34,</c><00:24:28.920><c> verse</c><00:24:29.119><c> 24</c><00:24:29.839><c> says,</c>

00:26:23.180 --> 00:26:26.900
So<00:26:23.319><c> he</c><00:26:23.319><c> was</c><00:26:23.480><c> a</c><00:26:23.619><c> stone</c><00:26:23.720><c> of</c><00:26:23.900><c> stumbling</c><00:26:24.160><c> to</c><00:26:24.400><c> Judah</c><00:26:24.740><c> for</c><00:26:25.420><c> 40</c><00:26:25.640><c> years.</c>

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:40.460
I<00:26:37.640><c> put</c><00:26:37.779><c> to</c><00:26:37.960><c> you</c><00:26:38.339><c> that</c><00:26:38.740><c> here</c><00:26:39.059><c> is</c><00:26:39.259><c> where</c><00:26:39.500><c> now</c><00:26:39.900><c> the</c><00:26:40.000><c> Lord</c><00:26:40.180><c> Jesus</c>

00:26:45.259 --> 00:26:49.220
And<00:26:45.440><c> just</c><00:26:45.640><c> as</c><00:26:45.720><c> he</c><00:26:45.799><c> was</c><00:26:45.940><c> a</c><00:26:46.079><c> stone</c><00:26:46.200><c> of</c><00:26:46.359><c> stumbling</c><00:26:46.660><c> to</c><00:26:47.259><c> the</c><00:26:47.420><c> southern</c><00:26:47.599><c> kingdom</c><00:26:47.880><c> for</c><00:26:48.059><c> 40</c><00:26:48.279><c> years,</c>

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:52.099

00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:06.079

00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:09.740

00:30:06.140 --> 00:30:09.500
This<00:30:06.480><c> was</c><00:30:06.680><c> a</c><00:30:06.799><c> time</c><00:30:06.940><c> of,</c><00:30:07.140><c> can</c><00:30:07.400><c> you</c><00:30:07.559><c> just</c><00:30:07.779><c> imagine</c><00:30:08.119><c> living</c><00:30:08.400><c> in</c><00:30:08.660><c> this?</c>

him<00:45:44.099><c> again</c><00:45:44.400><c> and</c><00:45:44.539><c> he</c><00:45:44.619><c> said,</c><00:45:44.960><c> come</c><00:45:44.960><c> back.</c><00:45:45.599><c> And</c><00:45:45.679><c> now</c><00:45:45.920><c> finally</c>

00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:48.719
he<00:45:47.019><c> says,</c><00:45:47.420><c> come</c><00:45:47.719><c> back.</c>

00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:50.980
And<00:45:49.659><c> they</c><00:45:49.860><c> do.</c>

00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:54.659
And<00:45:52.119><c> here</c><00:45:52.280><c> they</c><00:45:52.440><c> are</c><00:45:52.579><c> now,</c><00:45:52.980><c> betrothed</c><00:45:53.239><c> unto</c><00:45:53.440><c> him</c>

00:45:55.300 --> 00:45:56.800

00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:02.219
of<00:46:00.300><c> it,</c><00:46:00.400><c> verse</c><00:46:00.619><c> 20,</c><00:46:01.179><c> I</c><00:46:01.320><c> will</c><00:46:01.539><c> even</c><00:46:01.820><c> betroth</c>

00:46:02.219 --> 00:46:04.019
thee<00:46:02.360><c> unto</c><00:46:02.619><c> me</c>

00:46:04.019 --> 00:46:06.320
in<00:46:04.800><c> faithfulness.</c>

00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:10.780
And<00:46:08.500><c> this</c><00:46:08.639><c> group</c><00:46:08.760><c> of</c><00:46:08.940><c> people</c><00:46:09.059><c> will</c><00:46:09.219><c> be</c><00:46:09.360><c> faithful</c><00:46:09.579><c> to</c><00:46:09.739><c> him.</c>

00:46:11.019 --> 00:46:12.550
And<00:46:11.360><c> they</c><00:46:11.440><c> will</c><00:46:11.619><c> follow</c><00:46:11.800><c> him.</c>

00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:16.440
Now<00:46:15.480><c> I</c><00:46:15.559><c> don't</c><00:46:15.719><c> know</c><00:46:15.800><c> if</c><00:46:15.880><c> you</c><00:46:15.980><c> noticed</c><00:46:16.159><c> where</c><00:46:16.300><c> this</c>

00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:18.019
all<00:46:16.559><c> takes</c><00:46:16.800><c> place.</c>

00:46:18.579 --> 00:46:19.780
It's<00:46:18.579><c> in</c><00:46:18.679><c> the</c><00:46:18.800><c> wilderness.</c>

00:46:20.599 --> 00:46:22.139
But<00:46:20.760><c> specifically</c><00:46:21.179><c> in</c><00:46:21.340><c> a</c><00:46:21.460><c> place</c><00:46:21.639><c> that's</c><00:46:21.980><c> called</c>

00:46:22.139 --> 00:46:23.579
in<00:46:22.260><c> verse</c><00:46:22.440><c> 15,</c>

the<00:46:24.340><c> Valley</c><00:46:24.559><c> of</c><00:46:24.760><c> Acre.</c>

00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:28.820
It's<00:46:27.380><c> just</c><00:46:27.579><c> a</c><00:46:27.639><c> quick</c><00:46:27.780><c> question.</c>

00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:30.079
Any<00:46:29.519><c> idea</c><00:46:29.840><c> what</c>

00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:32.059
happened<00:46:30.480><c> before</c><00:46:30.900><c> in</c><00:46:31.460><c> the</c><00:46:31.699><c> Valley</c><00:46:31.900><c> of</c>

00:46:32.059 --> 00:46:32.980
Acre?

00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:35.900
Acre.

00:46:36.780 --> 00:46:37.780
This<00:46:36.880><c> was</c><00:46:37.059><c> the</c><00:46:37.199><c> story</c><00:46:37.360><c> of</c><00:46:37.559><c> Acre.</c>

00:46:38.099 --> 00:46:39.440
Do<00:46:38.260><c> you</c><00:46:38.300><c> remember</c><00:46:38.440><c> the</c><00:46:38.639><c> story?</c>

00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:42.440
A<00:46:40.199><c> number</c><00:46:40.420><c> of</c><00:46:40.539><c> men</c><00:46:40.719><c> went</c><00:46:40.860><c> up</c><00:46:41.059><c> against</c><00:46:41.260><c> the</c><00:46:41.400><c> city</c><00:46:41.539><c> of</c><00:46:41.739><c> Ai</c>

00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:44.099
and<00:46:42.900><c> they</c><00:46:42.980><c> were</c><00:46:43.119><c> destroyed.</c>

00:46:44.460 --> 00:46:45.780
And<00:46:44.480><c> Joshua</c><00:46:44.699><c> came</c><00:46:44.920><c> back</c><00:46:45.119><c> to</c><00:46:45.219><c> God</c><00:46:45.440><c> and</c><00:46:45.559><c> he</c><00:46:45.639><c> says,</c>

00:46:45.980 --> 00:46:48.079
Lord,<00:46:47.239><c> you</c><00:46:47.460><c> said</c><00:46:47.619><c> that</c><00:46:47.760><c> you</c><00:46:47.800><c> would</c><00:46:47.900><c> be</c>

00:46:48.079 --> 00:46:50.059
with<00:46:48.199><c> us.</c><00:46:49.300><c> How</c><00:46:49.679><c> could</c><00:46:49.860><c> these</c>

00:46:50.059 --> 00:46:51.900
men<00:46:50.199><c> have</c><00:46:50.420><c> died?</c><00:46:51.320><c> 30</c><00:46:51.639><c> something</c>

00:46:51.900 --> 00:46:54.159
men.<00:46:52.480><c> How</c><00:46:52.619><c> could</c><00:46:52.739><c> they</c><00:46:52.860><c> have</c><00:46:52.980><c> all</c><00:46:53.099><c> lost</c><00:46:53.260><c> their</c><00:46:53.500><c> lives</c><00:46:53.699><c> from</c><00:46:53.900><c> this?</c>

00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:56.059
Why<00:46:54.679><c> did</c><00:46:54.800><c> we</c><00:46:54.940><c> lose</c><00:46:55.199><c> against</c><00:46:55.460><c> the</c><00:46:55.619><c> city?</c><00:46:55.820><c> And</c><00:46:55.900><c> God</c>

00:46:56.059 --> 00:46:58.300
says,<00:46:56.480><c> because</c><00:46:56.780><c> the</c><00:46:57.079><c> accursed</c><00:46:57.360><c> thing</c><00:46:57.579><c> is</c><00:46:57.760><c> among</c><00:46:57.920><c> you.</c>

00:46:58.699 --> 00:46:59.900
So<00:46:58.860><c> if</c><00:46:58.920><c> you</c><00:46:59.000><c> just</c><00:46:59.119><c> come</c><00:46:59.280><c> back</c><00:46:59.440><c> to</c><00:46:59.599><c> Joshua</c>

00:46:59.900 --> 00:47:02.460
chapter<00:47:00.219><c> 7,</c><00:47:01.039><c> just</c><00:47:01.179><c> take</c><00:47:01.360><c> a</c><00:47:01.420><c> look</c><00:47:01.500><c> at</c><00:47:01.639><c> this.</c>

00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:03.800
Joshua<00:47:03.420><c> 7,</c>

00:47:03.940 --> 00:47:06.079
God<00:47:04.159><c> says</c><00:47:04.300><c> the</c><00:47:04.480><c> accursed</c><00:47:04.780><c> thing</c><00:47:04.980><c> is</c><00:47:05.119><c> among</c><00:47:05.280><c> you.</c><00:47:05.699><c> Someone</c>

00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:08.019
took<00:47:06.659><c> some</c><00:47:07.059><c> of</c><00:47:07.119><c> the</c><00:47:07.280><c> spoils</c><00:47:07.539><c> of</c><00:47:07.699><c> Jericho</c>

00:47:08.019 --> 00:47:09.380
which<00:47:08.179><c> they</c><00:47:08.320><c> were</c><00:47:08.420><c> not</c><00:47:08.559><c> supposed</c><00:47:08.820><c> to</c><00:47:09.000><c> do.</c>

00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:11.179
So<00:47:10.239><c> he</c><00:47:10.340><c> says,</c>

00:47:11.739 --> 00:47:13.199
find<00:47:11.800><c> that</c><00:47:12.019><c> person</c>

00:47:13.900 --> 00:47:15.539
and<00:47:14.260><c> they</c><00:47:14.360><c> must</c><00:47:14.500><c> be</c><00:47:14.699><c> killed.</c>

00:47:16.139 --> 00:47:17.500
So<00:47:16.380><c> Joshua</c><00:47:16.599><c> eventually</c><00:47:17.000><c> goes</c><00:47:17.239><c> through</c>

00:47:17.500 --> 00:47:19.280
and<00:47:17.639><c> he</c><00:47:17.920><c> finds</c><00:47:18.139><c> out</c><00:47:18.320><c> that</c><00:47:18.440><c> it's</c><00:47:18.619><c> Achan.</c>

00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:21.440
And<00:47:19.840><c> so</c><00:47:19.940><c> we</c><00:47:20.059><c> read</c><00:47:20.159><c> at</c><00:47:20.300><c> the</c><00:47:20.340><c> end</c><00:47:20.460><c> of</c><00:47:20.559><c> the</c><00:47:20.659><c> chapter,</c><00:47:21.059><c> at</c><00:47:21.159><c> the</c><00:47:21.159><c> end</c><00:47:21.320><c> of</c>

00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:23.880
Joshua<00:47:21.719><c> 7,</c><00:47:23.039><c> verse</c><00:47:23.179><c> 25.</c>

00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:27.579
Actually,<00:47:25.900><c> let's</c><00:47:26.079><c> read</c><00:47:26.219><c> verse</c><00:47:26.400><c> 24.</c>

00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:28.840
Joshua<00:47:27.800><c> 7,</c><00:47:28.159><c> verse</c><00:47:28.300><c> 24.</c>

00:47:29.340 --> 00:47:31.360
And<00:47:29.480><c> Joshua</c><00:47:29.820><c> and</c><00:47:29.960><c> all</c><00:47:30.219><c> Israel</c><00:47:30.519><c> with</c><00:47:30.679><c> him</c><00:47:30.880><c> took</c><00:47:31.059><c> Achan,</c>

00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:37.300

00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:41.559
And<00:47:39.960><c> they</c><00:47:40.179><c> brought</c><00:47:40.400><c> them</c><00:47:40.840><c> onto</c><00:47:41.139><c> the</c><00:47:41.340><c> valley</c>

00:47:43.579 --> 00:47:46.119

And<00:47:46.900><c> Joshua</c><00:47:47.179><c> said,</c>

00:47:48.940 --> 00:47:49.880
Why<00:47:49.139><c> hast</c><00:47:49.460><c> thou</c><00:47:49.599><c> troubled</c>

00:47:59.559 --> 00:48:01.320
They<00:47:59.820><c> raised</c><00:48:00.059><c> over</c><00:48:00.219><c> him</c><00:48:00.380><c> a</c><00:48:00.519><c> great</c><00:48:00.619><c> heap</c><00:48:00.840><c> of</c><00:48:01.099><c> stones</c>

00:48:18.840 --> 00:48:19.780
Here<00:48:18.960><c> was</c><00:48:19.079><c> the</c><00:48:19.199><c> one</c><00:48:19.260><c> who</c><00:48:19.420><c> had</c><00:48:19.599><c> troubled</c>

00:48:24.219 --> 00:48:26.320

00:48:27.460 --> 00:48:27.900
But<00:48:27.599><c> did</c><00:48:27.699><c> you</c><00:48:27.780><c> see</c>

00:48:27.900 --> 00:48:29.739
what<00:48:28.079><c> Hosea</c><00:48:28.340><c> said</c><00:48:28.519><c> it</c><00:48:28.639><c> would</c><00:48:28.739><c> be</c><00:48:28.900><c> called?</c>

00:48:34.099 --> 00:48:35.719
And<00:48:34.500><c> he</c><00:48:34.639><c> says,</c>

00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:37.320
Hosea<00:48:36.119><c> 2</c><00:48:36.320><c> verse</c><00:48:36.500><c> 15,</c>

00:48:37.539 --> 00:48:40.039
And<00:48:37.780><c> I</c><00:48:37.780><c> will</c><00:48:38.000><c> give</c><00:48:38.159><c> her</c><00:48:38.380><c> her</c><00:48:38.539><c> vineyards</c><00:48:38.820><c> from</c><00:48:39.079><c> thence,</c>

00:48:46.619 --> 00:48:48.219
And<00:48:46.860><c> so</c><00:48:47.000><c> there</c><00:48:47.139><c> it</c><00:48:47.340><c> was.</c>

00:48:48.400 --> 00:48:50.500
The<00:48:48.579><c> first</c><00:48:48.760><c> time</c><00:48:48.960><c> they</c><00:48:49.059><c> had</c><00:48:49.219><c> gone</c><00:48:49.320><c> into</c><00:48:49.500><c> the</c><00:48:49.699><c> land.</c>

00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:52.300
They<00:48:50.960><c> had</c><00:48:51.039><c> gone</c><00:48:51.179><c> in</c><00:48:51.400><c> through</c><00:48:51.559><c> the</c><00:48:51.659><c> valley</c><00:48:51.840><c> of</c><00:48:52.039><c> Acor.</c>

00:48:52.420 --> 00:48:53.800
It<00:48:52.440><c> had</c><00:48:52.460><c> been</c><00:48:52.519><c> their</c><00:48:52.739><c> door</c><00:48:52.980><c> into</c><00:48:53.179><c> the</c><00:48:53.420><c> promised</c><00:48:53.639><c> land.</c>

00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:55.599
And<00:48:54.059><c> it</c><00:48:54.119><c> was</c><00:48:54.239><c> a</c><00:48:54.340><c> door</c><00:48:54.460><c> of</c><00:48:54.659><c> trouble.</c>

00:48:56.000 --> 00:48:57.539
It<00:48:56.059><c> was</c><00:48:56.119><c> a</c><00:48:56.219><c> place</c><00:48:56.380><c> where</c><00:48:56.760><c> the</c>

00:48:59.099 --> 00:49:00.619
Where<00:48:59.260><c> God</c><00:48:59.480><c> hadn't</c><00:48:59.719><c> been</c><00:48:59.880><c> with</c><00:49:00.099><c> them.</c>

00:49:00.619 --> 00:49:02.500
Because<00:49:01.199><c> they</c><00:49:01.360><c> had</c><00:49:01.480><c> taken</c><00:49:01.679><c> of</c><00:49:01.820><c> the</c><00:49:01.940><c> accursed</c><00:49:02.179><c> thing.</c>

00:49:02.579 --> 00:49:04.599
And<00:49:02.800><c> this</c><00:49:02.960><c> was</c><00:49:03.099><c> the</c><00:49:03.300><c> beginning</c><00:49:03.579><c> of</c><00:49:03.860><c> their</c><00:49:04.039><c> entrance</c><00:49:04.280><c> into</c><00:49:04.420><c> the</c>

00:49:05.059 --> 00:49:07.099
And<00:49:05.219><c> God</c><00:49:05.400><c> says,</c><00:49:06.019><c> no</c><00:49:06.139><c> more.</c>

00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:09.039
No<00:49:08.039><c> longer</c><00:49:08.280><c> will</c><00:49:08.440><c> it</c><00:49:08.539><c> be</c><00:49:08.659><c> that</c><00:49:08.860><c> way.</c>

00:49:09.119 --> 00:49:11.119
You'll<00:49:09.360><c> come</c><00:49:09.559><c> to</c><00:49:09.659><c> this</c><00:49:09.840><c> valley</c><00:49:10.039><c> of</c><00:49:10.260><c> trouble.</c>

00:49:12.500 --> 00:49:14.800
And<00:49:12.900><c> you're</c><00:49:13.059><c> going</c><00:49:13.139><c> to</c><00:49:13.300><c> call</c><00:49:13.380><c> it</c><00:49:13.500><c> the</c><00:49:13.599><c> door</c><00:49:13.719><c> of</c><00:49:13.860><c> hope.</c>

00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:16.860
Because<00:49:15.699><c> here</c><00:49:15.900><c> you</c><00:49:16.039><c> are</c><00:49:16.159><c> with</c><00:49:16.320><c> your</c><00:49:16.460><c> Lord.</c>

00:49:17.300 --> 00:49:18.960
You're<00:49:17.519><c> betrothed.</c>

00:49:18.960 --> 00:49:20.619
You're<00:49:19.300><c> betrothed</c><00:49:19.559><c> unto</c><00:49:19.679><c> him</c><00:49:19.820><c> in</c><00:49:20.019><c> righteousness</c><00:49:20.360><c> and</c>

00:49:20.619 --> 00:49:23.179

00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:24.880
And<00:49:24.139><c> you'll</c><00:49:24.360><c> walk</c><00:49:24.539><c> together</c>

00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:27.079
now<00:49:25.480><c> back</c>

00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:32.699
And<00:49:31.000><c> so</c><00:49:31.059><c> I</c><00:49:31.119><c> think</c><00:49:31.260><c> it's</c><00:49:31.420><c> at</c><00:49:31.500><c> this</c><00:49:31.679><c> point</c>

00:49:33.360 --> 00:49:34.840
that<00:49:33.719><c> we</c><00:49:33.880><c> begin</c><00:49:34.039><c> to</c><00:49:34.280><c> see</c><00:49:34.380><c> a</c><00:49:34.539><c> transfer</c>

00:49:34.840 --> 00:49:35.980
of<00:49:35.000><c> leadership.</c>

00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:38.159
Because<00:49:37.000><c> you</c><00:49:37.179><c> remember,</c>

00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:40.920
Moses<00:49:38.619><c> never</c><00:49:38.960><c> led</c><00:49:39.119><c> the</c><00:49:39.320><c> people</c><00:49:39.480><c> into</c><00:49:39.639><c> the</c><00:49:39.840><c> promised</c><00:49:40.079><c> land.</c>

00:49:41.400 --> 00:49:42.659
It<00:49:41.440><c> was</c><00:49:41.519><c> at</c><00:49:41.659><c> that</c><00:49:41.840><c> point,</c><00:49:42.019><c> as</c><00:49:42.119><c> they</c><00:49:42.260><c> were</c><00:49:42.380><c> about</c><00:49:42.539><c> to</c>

00:49:42.659 --> 00:49:44.539
go<00:49:42.820><c> in,</c>

00:49:44.579 --> 00:49:45.940
that<00:49:44.659><c> the</c><00:49:44.820><c> leadership</c><00:49:45.019><c> passed</c><00:49:45.300><c> over</c><00:49:45.440><c> to</c><00:49:45.639><c> Joshua.</c>

00:49:46.019 --> 00:49:48.579
And<00:49:46.119><c> it</c><00:49:46.119><c> was</c><00:49:46.300><c> Joshua</c><00:49:46.659><c> who</c><00:49:46.920><c> had</c><00:49:47.079><c> just</c><00:49:47.340><c> become</c><00:49:47.579><c> the</c><00:49:47.760><c> leader</c>

00:49:48.820 --> 00:49:50.480
at<00:49:49.179><c> the</c><00:49:49.300><c> valley</c><00:49:49.480><c> of</c><00:49:49.679><c> Acor.</c>

00:49:52.340 --> 00:49:55.139
And<00:49:52.699><c> so</c><00:49:52.800><c> now</c><00:49:52.960><c> I</c><00:49:53.059><c> suggest</c><00:49:53.380><c> to</c><00:49:53.500><c> you</c><00:49:53.619><c> that</c><00:49:54.079><c> Elijah,</c>

00:49:55.719 --> 00:49:57.320
the<00:49:55.840><c> latter</c><00:49:55.980><c> day</c><00:49:56.119><c> Moses,</c>

00:49:57.840 --> 00:49:58.840

00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:01.059
of<00:49:58.980><c> the</c><00:49:59.019><c> people</c><00:49:59.320><c> to</c><00:49:59.579><c> the</c><00:49:59.860><c> greater</c><00:50:00.099><c> Joshua,</c>

00:50:01.320 --> 00:50:03.340

But<00:54:57.340><c> I</c><00:54:57.460><c> will</c><00:54:57.639><c> save</c><00:54:57.920><c> them</c><00:54:58.119><c> out</c><00:54:58.239><c> of</c><00:54:58.340><c> all</c><00:54:58.480><c> their</c><00:54:58.619><c> dwelling</c><00:54:58.820><c> places</c>

00:54:59.239 --> 00:55:01.000
wherein<00:54:59.880><c> they</c><00:55:00.039><c> have</c><00:55:00.300><c> sinned,</c>

00:55:01.000 --> 00:55:03.239
and<00:55:01.199><c> will</c><00:55:01.400><c> cleanse</c><00:55:01.699><c> them.</c>

00:55:04.179 --> 00:55:06.139
So<00:55:04.420><c> shall</c><00:55:04.559><c> they</c><00:55:04.699><c> be</c><00:55:04.800><c> my</c><00:55:05.000><c> people,</c>

00:55:06.619 --> 00:55:08.329

00:55:10.179 --> 00:55:11.739
The<00:55:10.280><c> redemption</c><00:55:10.579><c> of</c><00:55:10.719><c> Israel.</c>

00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:15.579
I<00:55:13.380><c> think</c><00:55:13.500><c> the</c><00:55:13.639><c> amazing</c><00:55:13.960><c> thing</c><00:55:14.159><c> about</c><00:55:14.380><c> this,</c>

00:55:16.199 --> 00:55:18.639
and<00:55:16.280><c> the</c><00:55:16.360><c> real</c><00:55:16.559><c> power</c><00:55:16.960><c> that</c><00:55:17.179><c> comes</c><00:55:17.340><c> from</c><00:55:17.500><c> this</c><00:55:17.739><c> story,</c>

00:55:19.699 --> 00:55:21.500
is<00:55:19.800><c> that</c><00:55:19.940><c> not</c><00:55:20.099><c> only</c><00:55:20.239><c> is</c><00:55:20.360><c> it</c><00:55:20.460><c> the</c><00:55:20.579><c> future,</c>

00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:23.500
not<00:55:21.900><c> only</c><00:55:22.119><c> is</c><00:55:22.280><c> it</c><00:55:22.619><c> what</c><00:55:23.019><c> Lord</c><00:55:23.320><c> willing</c>

00:55:23.500 --> 00:55:25.239
we'll<00:55:23.639><c> be</c><00:55:23.760><c> able</c><00:55:23.920><c> to</c><00:55:24.099><c> see</c>

00:55:25.619 --> 00:55:27.679
and<00:55:26.039><c> experience</c><00:55:26.460><c> ourselves,</c>

00:55:29.059 --> 00:55:31.380
but<00:55:29.320><c> it's</c><00:55:29.440><c> what</c><00:55:29.579><c> we're</c><00:55:30.000><c> experiencing</c><00:55:30.320><c> today.</c>

00:55:33.039 --> 00:55:34.659
This<00:55:33.400><c> is</c><00:55:33.559><c> our</c><00:55:33.739><c> God,</c>

00:55:34.739 --> 00:55:36.880

00:55:44.019 --> 00:55:44.639
to<00:55:44.059><c> provide</c><00:55:44.340><c> for</c><00:55:44.460><c> them,</c>

00:55:44.820 --> 00:55:47.900
to<00:55:44.820><c> make</c><00:55:45.000><c> the</c><00:55:46.239><c> water</c><00:55:46.539><c> spring</c><00:55:46.940><c> forth</c>

00:55:48.079 --> 00:55:49.480
all<00:55:48.440><c> for</c><00:55:48.639><c> his</c><00:55:48.900><c> people,</c>

00:55:49.659 --> 00:55:51.400

00:55:54.179 --> 00:55:56.360
so<00:55:54.340><c> that</c><00:55:54.440><c> they</c><00:55:54.579><c> might</c><00:55:54.800><c> be</c><00:55:54.960><c> his</c><00:55:55.159><c> people</c>

00:55:56.760 --> 00:55:58.820
and<00:55:57.119><c> that</c><00:55:57.260><c> he</c><00:55:57.360><c> might</c><00:55:57.539><c> be</c><00:55:57.679><c> their</c><00:55:57.820><c> God.</c>

00:56:00.159 --> 00:56:03.099
And<00:56:00.639><c> that's</c><00:56:00.840><c> what</c><00:56:00.920><c> he</c><00:56:01.019><c> does</c><00:56:01.139><c> for</c><00:56:01.340><c> us.</c>

00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:06.519
All<00:56:04.400><c> throughout</c><00:56:04.679><c> this</c><00:56:04.980><c> time</c><00:56:05.239><c> of</c><00:56:05.420><c> our</c><00:56:05.599><c> lives,</c>

00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:08.639
when<00:56:07.340><c> we</c><00:56:07.480><c> feel</c><00:56:07.619><c> broken,</c>

00:56:09.059 --> 00:56:10.159
when<00:56:09.320><c> we're</c><00:56:09.599><c> walking</c><00:56:09.880><c> through</c>

00:56:10.159 --> 00:56:12.059
this<00:56:10.400><c> wilderness</c><00:56:10.760><c> of</c><00:56:10.980><c> our</c><00:56:11.119><c> lives,</c>

00:56:12.340 --> 00:56:14.400
and<00:56:12.559><c> we</c><00:56:12.760><c> feel</c><00:56:12.940><c> that</c><00:56:13.179><c> the</c><00:56:13.420><c> trials</c><00:56:13.599><c> are</c><00:56:13.760><c> too</c><00:56:14.019><c> hard</c>

00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:16.539
and<00:56:14.639><c> the</c><00:56:14.880><c> tests</c><00:56:15.059><c> are</c><00:56:15.420><c> frustrating,</c>

00:56:17.260 --> 00:56:19.039
that's<00:56:17.699><c> what</c><00:56:17.820><c> our</c><00:56:17.980><c> God's</c><00:56:18.260><c> doing.</c>

00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:21.179
Just<00:56:20.280><c> like</c><00:56:20.440><c> he</c><00:56:20.519><c> didn't</c><00:56:20.699><c> leave</c><00:56:20.860><c> Israel,</c>

00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:22.239
he<00:56:21.300><c> doesn't</c><00:56:21.500><c> leave</c><00:56:21.679><c> us.</c>

00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:23.480
And<00:56:22.820><c> he's</c><00:56:22.940><c> there,</c>

00:56:23.739 --> 00:56:25.239
and<00:56:23.860><c> he's</c><00:56:24.260><c> leading</c><00:56:24.519><c> us</c><00:56:24.820><c> through</c>

00:56:25.239 --> 00:56:27.880
these<00:56:25.820><c> 40,</c><00:56:26.559><c> 50,</c><00:56:26.900><c> 60</c><00:56:27.139><c> years</c>

00:56:29.800 --> 00:56:31.739
so<00:56:30.280><c> that</c><00:56:30.380><c> we</c><00:56:30.440><c> might</c><00:56:30.599><c> be</c><00:56:30.840><c> purged</c>

00:56:33.219 --> 00:56:34.679
and<00:56:33.699><c> redeemed.</c>

00:56:34.940 --> 00:56:36.340
And<00:56:35.179><c> that's</c><00:56:35.300><c> our</c><00:56:35.440><c> God.</c>

00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:39.260
That's<00:56:37.920><c> the</c><00:56:38.019><c> story</c><00:56:38.179><c> of</c><00:56:38.320><c> Israel.</c>

00:56:40.199 --> 00:56:41.519
And<00:56:40.340><c> by</c><00:56:40.420><c> his</c><00:56:40.619><c> mercy,</c>

00:56:41.960 --> 00:56:43.360
that's<00:56:42.260><c> our</c><00:56:42.440><c> story.</c>

00:56:44.400 --> 00:56:45.480
And<00:56:44.519><c> so</c><00:56:44.619><c> may</c><00:56:44.739><c> our</c><00:56:44.880><c> God</c><00:56:44.980><c> be</c><00:56:45.119><c> with</c><00:56:45.280><c> us</c>

00:56:45.480 --> 00:56:47.059
and<00:56:45.619><c> continue</c><00:56:45.860><c> to</c><00:56:46.059><c> lead</c><00:56:46.119><c> us</c>

00:56:47.059 --> 00:56:48.840
and<00:56:47.539><c> guide</c><00:56:47.780><c> us</c><00:56:47.980><c> each</c><00:56:48.199><c> day</c>

00:56:48.840 --> 00:56:50.239
closer<00:56:49.380><c> and</c><00:56:49.880><c> closer</c>

00:56:50.239 --> 00:56:53.760
to<00:56:51.159><c> that</c><00:56:51.320><c> city</c><00:56:51.519><c> of</c><00:56:51.719><c> peace.</c><00:56:52.960><c> Amen.</c>
