00:03:33.099 --> 00:03:39.479
And<00:03:33.460><c> why</c><00:03:33.680><c> when</c><00:03:34.500><c> the</c><00:03:35.159><c> Revelation</c><00:03:35.840><c> of</c><00:03:37.219><c> the</c><00:03:37.439><c> Ecclesia</c><00:03:37.800><c> at</c><00:03:38.199><c> Philadelphia</c><00:03:38.840><c> was</c><00:03:39.180><c> given,</c>

00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.360
because<00:03:43.960><c> it</c><00:03:44.159><c> seems</c><00:03:44.439><c> that</c><00:03:44.680><c> that</c><00:03:44.860><c> Ecclesia</c><00:03:45.199><c> was</c><00:03:45.439><c> able</c><00:03:45.680><c> to</c><00:03:46.020><c> assess</c><00:03:46.780><c> where</c>

00:03:49.180 --> 00:03:52.680
But<00:03:49.460><c> that</c><00:03:49.740><c> was</c><00:03:50.340><c> not</c><00:03:50.960><c> the</c><00:03:51.360><c> usual</c><00:03:51.680><c> case.</c>

00:03:53.300 --> 00:03:56.360
We<00:03:53.539><c> saw</c><00:03:53.900><c> Ephesus</c><00:03:54.520><c> being</c><00:03:54.939><c> condemned</c><00:03:55.460><c> because</c><00:03:55.939><c> although</c><00:03:56.199><c> they</c>

00:04:04.060 --> 00:04:06.659
That's<00:04:04.419><c> a</c><00:04:04.639><c> rather</c><00:04:04.879><c> common</c><00:04:05.259><c> experience</c><00:04:05.800><c> where</c><00:04:06.020><c> for</c><00:04:06.400><c> periods</c>

00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.139
we<00:04:07.780><c> can</c><00:04:08.020><c> almost</c><00:04:08.259><c> just</c><00:04:08.599><c> go</c><00:04:08.860><c> through</c><00:04:09.060><c> the</c><00:04:09.219><c> routine.</c>

00:04:11.180 --> 00:04:13.319
We're<00:04:11.379><c> just</c><00:04:11.539><c> sort</c><00:04:11.699><c> of</c><00:04:12.000><c> following</c><00:04:12.240><c> others</c><00:04:12.620><c> in</c><00:04:12.800><c> the</c><00:04:13.020><c> truth.</c>

00:04:13.819 --> 00:04:15.860

00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:32.640

00:19:48.740 --> 00:19:52.839
Yea,<00:19:49.299><c> I</c><00:19:49.519><c> think</c><00:19:49.759><c> it</c><00:19:49.980><c> neat,</c><00:19:50.319><c> as</c><00:19:50.460><c> long</c><00:19:50.680><c> as</c><00:19:50.819><c> I</c><00:19:50.920><c> am</c><00:19:51.059><c> in</c><00:19:51.180><c> this</c><00:19:51.400><c> tabernacle,</c><00:19:52.119><c> to</c><00:19:52.460><c> stir</c>

00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:13.980
So<00:20:08.759><c> it's</c><00:20:09.039><c> not</c><00:20:09.359><c> stirring</c><00:20:09.660><c> up</c><00:20:10.039><c> by</c><00:20:11.019><c> speaking</c><00:20:11.440><c> something</c><00:20:11.900><c> new,</c><00:20:13.079><c> but</c><00:20:13.220><c> it's</c><00:20:13.420><c> just</c><00:20:13.700><c> by</c>

They've<00:27:26.779><c> all</c><00:27:27.000><c> been</c><00:27:27.319><c> converted</c><00:27:27.700><c> to</c><00:27:27.900><c> the</c><00:27:28.119><c> truth.</c>

00:27:29.259 --> 00:27:34.140
So<00:27:29.400><c> it's</c><00:27:29.539><c> not</c><00:27:29.720><c> a</c><00:27:29.839><c> matter</c><00:27:30.079><c> of</c><00:27:31.299><c> considering</c><00:27:32.240><c> new</c><00:27:32.660><c> things</c><00:27:33.059><c> necessarily,</c><00:27:33.900><c> but</c>

00:27:34.140 --> 00:27:37.180
just<00:27:35.480><c> considering</c><00:27:36.000><c> their</c><00:27:36.279><c> ways.</c>

00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:39.420
Going<00:27:37.779><c> back</c><00:27:38.119><c> over</c><00:27:38.359><c> their</c><00:27:38.579><c> life.</c>

00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:43.500
What<00:27:40.359><c> I</c><00:27:40.579><c> think</c><00:27:40.720><c> is</c><00:27:40.880><c> so</c><00:27:41.160><c> helpful</c><00:27:41.400><c> in</c><00:27:41.599><c> Haggai</c><00:27:42.079><c> is</c><00:27:42.380><c> that</c><00:27:42.960><c> you</c><00:27:43.200><c> have</c>

00:27:46.460 --> 00:27:50.019
the<00:27:46.799><c> very</c><00:27:47.099><c> next</c><00:27:47.460><c> element</c><00:27:47.819><c> of</c><00:27:48.440><c> Revelation</c><00:27:48.799><c> 3</c><00:27:49.079><c> verse</c><00:27:49.259><c> 5,</c><00:27:49.579><c> and</c><00:27:49.660><c> that</c><00:27:49.779><c> is</c>

00:27:51.619 --> 00:27:54.880
So<00:27:51.759><c> we</c><00:27:52.000><c> find</c><00:27:52.180><c> in</c><00:27:52.359><c> Haggai</c><00:27:52.880><c> 1</c><00:27:53.319><c> verse</c><00:27:53.660><c> 4,</c>

00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:58.440
Is<00:27:55.759><c> it</c><00:27:56.000><c> time</c><00:27:56.200><c> for</c><00:27:56.500><c> you,</c><00:27:56.799><c> O</c><00:27:57.099><c> you,</c><00:27:57.440><c> to</c><00:27:57.579><c> dwell</c><00:27:57.759><c> in</c><00:27:57.920><c> your</c><00:27:58.160><c> sealed</c>

00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:06.240
Now<00:28:02.039><c> therefore,</c><00:28:02.819><c> thus</c><00:28:02.819><c> saith</c><00:28:03.220><c> Yahweh</c><00:28:03.619><c> of</c><00:28:03.859><c> hosts,</c><00:28:04.619><c> consider</c><00:28:05.099><c> your</c><00:28:05.420><c> ways,</c><00:28:05.920><c> which</c><00:28:06.079><c> I</c>

00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:08.539

00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:12.920
He<00:28:09.819><c> says</c><00:28:10.000><c> you've</c><00:28:10.440><c> sown</c><00:28:10.599><c> much,</c><00:28:11.420><c> you</c><00:28:11.619><c> bring</c><00:28:11.859><c> in</c><00:28:12.079><c> little.</c>

You<00:28:15.200><c> drink,</c><00:28:15.480><c> but</c><00:28:15.680><c> you</c><00:28:15.839><c> are</c><00:28:15.980><c> not</c><00:28:16.200><c> filled</c><00:28:16.440><c> with</c><00:28:16.700><c> drink.</c>

00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:19.259
You<00:28:17.619><c> clothe</c><00:28:17.920><c> you,</c><00:28:18.140><c> but</c><00:28:18.259><c> there</c><00:28:18.480><c> is</c><00:28:18.640><c> none</c><00:28:18.839><c> warm.</c>

00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:22.339
And<00:28:19.759><c> he</c><00:28:19.880><c> that</c><00:28:20.059><c> earneth</c><00:28:20.420><c> wages,</c><00:28:21.019><c> earneth</c><00:28:21.259><c> wages</c><00:28:21.579><c> to</c><00:28:21.819><c> put</c><00:28:22.000><c> in</c><00:28:22.160><c> a</c>

00:28:24.420 --> 00:28:27.380
Thus<00:28:24.599><c> saith</c><00:28:24.819><c> Yahweh</c><00:28:25.180><c> of</c><00:28:25.339><c> hosts,</c><00:28:25.579><c> consider</c><00:28:26.099><c> your</c><00:28:26.359><c> ways.</c>

00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:30.619

00:28:32.940 --> 00:28:33.940
saith<00:28:33.119><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:28:34.099 --> 00:28:36.099
You<00:28:34.279><c> look</c><00:28:34.500><c> for</c><00:28:34.720><c> much,</c><00:28:35.000><c> and</c><00:28:35.160><c> lo,</c><00:28:35.259><c> it</c><00:28:35.380><c> came</c><00:28:35.619><c> to</c><00:28:35.819><c> little.</c>

00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:38.440
And<00:28:36.539><c> when</c><00:28:36.640><c> you</c><00:28:36.859><c> brought</c><00:28:37.059><c> it</c><00:28:37.220><c> home,</c><00:28:37.299><c> I</c><00:28:37.480><c> did</c><00:28:37.640><c> blow</c><00:28:37.859><c> upon</c><00:28:38.140><c> it.</c>

00:28:38.700 --> 00:28:41.140
Why,<00:28:39.759><c> saith</c><00:28:39.920><c> Yahweh</c><00:28:40.240><c> of</c><00:28:40.400><c> hosts?</c>

00:28:41.339 --> 00:28:44.420
Because<00:28:41.700><c> of</c><00:28:42.000><c> mine</c><00:28:42.160><c> house</c><00:28:42.519><c> that</c><00:28:42.740><c> is</c><00:28:42.920><c> waste,</c><00:28:43.299><c> and</c><00:28:43.440><c> you</c><00:28:43.680><c> run</c><00:28:43.880><c> every</c><00:28:44.180><c> man</c>

00:28:46.500 --> 00:28:51.019
So<00:28:46.779><c> you</c><00:28:46.920><c> can</c><00:28:47.220><c> see</c><00:28:47.420><c> what</c><00:28:48.220><c> the</c><00:28:48.660><c> Spirit</c><00:28:48.900><c> was</c><00:28:49.359><c> drawing</c><00:28:49.740><c> to</c><00:28:50.319><c> the</c><00:28:50.559><c> attention</c><00:28:50.839><c> of</c>

00:28:57.779 --> 00:29:00.059
You<00:28:57.920><c> haven't</c><00:28:58.099><c> been</c><00:28:58.359><c> building</c><00:28:59.140><c> God's</c><00:28:59.759><c> house.</c>

00:29:00.539 --> 00:29:03.900
You've<00:29:00.799><c> been</c><00:29:00.940><c> building</c><00:29:01.319><c> your</c><00:29:01.660><c> house,</c><00:29:02.099><c> but</c><00:29:02.539><c> to</c><00:29:03.099><c> look</c><00:29:03.240><c> at</c><00:29:03.460><c> his</c>

00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:08.220

You<00:32:09.640><c> think</c><00:32:09.799><c> of</c><00:32:09.960><c> all</c><00:32:10.119><c> the</c><00:32:10.279><c> things</c><00:32:10.460><c> that</c><00:32:10.660><c> the</c><00:32:10.859><c> Apostle</c><00:32:11.279><c> Paul</c><00:32:11.539><c> endured</c><00:32:12.099><c> as</c>

00:34:18.260 --> 00:34:26.760
Finally,<00:34:19.159><c> the</c><00:34:19.260><c> Lord</c><00:34:19.400><c> said,</c><00:34:20.739><c> if</c><00:34:20.820><c> you</c><00:34:21.059><c> don't</c><00:34:21.400><c> repent,</c><00:34:23.559><c> I'll</c><00:34:24.380><c> remove</c><00:34:25.219><c> your</c><00:34:26.019><c> lampstand</c><00:34:26.539><c> out</c>

00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:37.659
Well,<00:34:33.199><c> I</c><00:34:33.340><c> think</c><00:34:33.559><c> it</c><00:34:33.760><c> means</c><00:34:34.320><c> that</c><00:34:35.940><c> there</c><00:34:36.159><c> is</c><00:34:36.380><c> going</c><00:34:36.500><c> to</c><00:34:36.599><c> be</c><00:34:36.760><c> a</c><00:34:36.880><c> real</c><00:34:37.139><c> time</c><00:34:37.440><c> of</c>

00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:26.539
You<00:35:23.099><c> remember</c><00:35:23.440><c> Daniel</c><00:35:23.760><c> 4.</c><00:35:24.500><c> This</c><00:35:24.679><c> is</c><00:35:24.920><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:35:25.619><c> who</c><00:35:25.820><c> walked</c><00:35:26.019><c> upon</c><00:35:26.320><c> his</c>

00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:33.010
God<00:35:31.300><c> was</c><00:35:31.519><c> not</c><00:35:31.739><c> pleased</c><00:35:32.019><c> with</c><00:35:32.219><c> him.</c>

00:35:34.340 --> 00:35:39.480
And<00:35:34.619><c> when</c><00:35:35.380><c> Daniel</c><00:35:36.059><c> understood</c><00:35:37.199><c> this</c><00:35:37.619><c> dream,</c><00:35:38.860><c> he</c><00:35:39.000><c> gave</c><00:35:39.239><c> this</c>

00:36:03.059 --> 00:36:07.320
Maybe<00:36:03.539><c> that's</c><00:36:05.039><c> just</c><00:36:05.340><c> an</c><00:36:05.900><c> awkward</c><00:36:06.260><c> way</c><00:36:06.519><c> to</c><00:36:06.780><c> translate</c><00:36:07.139><c> what</c>

00:43:16.940 --> 00:43:19.139

And<00:43:22.559><c> what</c><00:43:22.659><c> he</c><00:43:22.860><c> said</c><00:43:23.019><c> was,</c><00:43:23.340><c> if</c><00:43:23.340><c> you</c><00:43:23.519><c> don't</c><00:43:25.460><c> repent,</c><00:43:26.539><c> I'll</c><00:43:26.920><c> remove</c><00:43:27.159><c> your</c>

00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:51.559

00:45:57.199 --> 00:46:01.639
He<00:45:57.360><c> says</c><00:45:57.559><c> in</c><00:45:57.659><c> verse</c><00:45:57.900><c> 14,</c><00:45:58.300><c> I</c><00:45:58.460><c> have</c><00:45:58.659><c> a</c><00:45:58.880><c> few</c><00:45:59.019><c> things</c><00:45:59.300><c> against</c><00:45:59.800><c> thee,</c><00:46:00.559><c> still</c><00:46:00.840><c> talking</c><00:46:01.260><c> to</c>

00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:09.260
But<00:46:05.559><c> it</c><00:46:05.760><c> was</c><00:46:06.019><c> because</c><00:46:06.440><c> thou</c><00:46:06.719><c> hast</c><00:46:07.320><c> there</c><00:46:08.179><c> them.</c>

00:46:10.340 --> 00:46:14.960
So<00:46:10.579><c> he</c><00:46:10.719><c> was</c><00:46:11.099><c> concentrating</c><00:46:11.579><c> on</c><00:46:12.219><c> these</c><00:46:12.659><c> people</c><00:46:13.400><c> in</c><00:46:13.639><c> that</c><00:46:13.880><c> Ecclesia</c><00:46:14.300><c> who</c>

00:46:20.780 --> 00:46:24.079
I<00:46:20.960><c> suppose</c><00:46:21.239><c> it's</c><00:46:21.480><c> possible</c><00:46:22.159><c> a</c><00:46:22.559><c> group</c><00:46:22.699><c> could</c><00:46:22.880><c> have</c><00:46:23.059><c> held</c><00:46:23.219><c> both.</c>

00:46:24.320 --> 00:46:28.900
Then<00:46:24.480><c> he</c><00:46:24.699><c> says,</c><00:46:25.260><c> repent,</c><00:46:26.900><c> or</c><00:46:27.079><c> else</c><00:46:27.199><c> I</c><00:46:27.519><c> will</c><00:46:27.699><c> come</c><00:46:27.900><c> unto</c><00:46:28.139><c> thee</c>

00:46:28.900 --> 00:46:31.280
and<00:46:29.380><c> will</c><00:46:29.619><c> fight</c><00:46:29.820><c> against</c><00:46:30.219><c> them.</c>

00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:35.059
Now<00:46:33.440><c> you</c><00:46:33.579><c> think</c><00:46:33.800><c> that's</c><00:46:34.559><c> rude.</c>

00:46:36.900 --> 00:46:39.500
And<00:46:37.019><c> if</c><00:46:37.460><c> you're</c><00:46:37.719><c> on</c><00:46:37.840><c> an</c><00:46:38.000><c> arranging</c><00:46:38.400><c> board</c><00:46:38.719><c> and</c><00:46:38.920><c> you've</c><00:46:39.119><c> had</c><00:46:39.219><c> a</c>

00:46:39.500 --> 00:46:42.380
difficult<00:46:39.800><c> time</c><00:46:40.159><c> with</c><00:46:40.360><c> a</c><00:46:40.519><c> group</c><00:46:40.639><c> in</c><00:46:40.820><c> the</c><00:46:40.980><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:46:43.099 --> 00:46:46.280
and<00:46:43.539><c> it</c><00:46:43.980><c> may</c><00:46:44.199><c> be</c><00:46:44.539><c> in</c><00:46:44.679><c> your</c><00:46:44.900><c> own</c><00:46:45.119><c> mind</c><00:46:45.340><c> actually</c><00:46:45.739><c> an</c><00:46:45.920><c> desirable</c>

00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:48.820
thing<00:46:46.659><c> that</c><00:46:46.920><c> the</c><00:46:47.079><c> Lord</c><00:46:47.219><c> would</c><00:46:47.460><c> deal</c><00:46:47.659><c> with</c><00:46:47.900><c> them,</c>

00:46:48.880 --> 00:46:51.840
then<00:46:49.019><c> you</c><00:46:49.159><c> could</c><00:46:49.280><c> say,</c><00:46:49.519><c> well,</c><00:46:49.559><c> what's</c><00:46:49.800><c> wrong</c><00:46:50.000><c> with</c><00:46:50.219><c> that?</c><00:46:50.480><c> That</c><00:46:50.820><c> might</c><00:46:51.019><c> even</c><00:46:51.219><c> be</c><00:46:51.500><c> desirable.</c>

00:46:51.980 --> 00:46:55.480
Yet<00:46:52.239><c> the</c><00:46:52.619><c> Lord</c><00:46:52.840><c> is</c><00:46:53.079><c> saying</c><00:46:53.260><c> that</c><00:46:53.579><c> as</c><00:46:53.840><c> an</c><00:46:54.360><c> or</c><00:46:54.619><c> else.</c>

00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:58.139
In<00:46:56.440><c> other</c><00:46:56.519><c> words,</c><00:46:56.679><c> don't</c><00:46:56.980><c> think</c><00:46:57.199><c> this</c><00:46:57.400><c> is</c><00:46:57.619><c> not</c><00:46:57.800><c> going</c><00:46:57.940><c> to</c><00:46:58.039><c> be</c>

00:46:58.139 --> 00:46:58.920
without<00:46:58.420><c> pain.</c>

00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:03.199
He's<00:46:59.760><c> saying,</c><00:47:00.579><c> or</c><00:47:00.579><c> else</c><00:47:00.960><c> I</c><00:47:01.260><c> will</c><00:47:01.480><c> come</c><00:47:01.719><c> unto</c><00:47:01.960><c> thee</c><00:47:02.400><c> and</c><00:47:02.860><c> fight</c>

00:47:03.199 --> 00:47:04.800
against<00:47:03.739><c> them.</c>

00:47:07.099 --> 00:47:09.199
Now<00:47:07.360><c> it</c><00:47:07.500><c> would</c><00:47:07.719><c> seem</c><00:47:07.920><c> to</c><00:47:08.079><c> me,</c><00:47:08.420><c> brothers</c><00:47:08.519><c> and</c><00:47:08.699><c> sisters,</c><00:47:08.920><c> this</c>

00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:10.880
tests<00:47:09.539><c> our</c><00:47:09.980><c> spirit.</c>

00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:17.539
In<00:47:13.219><c> the</c><00:47:13.519><c> Ecclesia</c><00:47:13.980><c> we</c><00:47:14.599><c> can</c><00:47:15.019><c> very</c><00:47:15.579><c> easily</c><00:47:16.000><c> become</c><00:47:16.380><c> polarized.</c>

00:47:18.420 --> 00:47:21.800
You<00:47:18.760><c> know</c><00:47:18.980><c> that.</c><00:47:20.239><c> I</c><00:47:20.519><c> know</c><00:47:20.780><c> that.</c>

00:47:22.260 --> 00:47:26.980
Quite<00:47:22.579><c> often</c><00:47:23.019><c> the</c><00:47:23.400><c> polarization</c><00:47:24.019><c> is</c><00:47:24.400><c> just</c><00:47:24.980><c> almost</c><00:47:25.380><c> naturally</c><00:47:25.920><c> there.</c>

00:47:27.219 --> 00:47:30.000
And<00:47:27.619><c> almost</c><00:47:28.000><c> every</c><00:47:28.519><c> issue</c><00:47:28.860><c> that</c><00:47:29.059><c> comes</c><00:47:29.300><c> up</c><00:47:29.539><c> where</c><00:47:29.719><c> people</c>

00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:30.940
have<00:47:30.239><c> different</c><00:47:30.539><c> opinions,</c>

00:47:31.059 --> 00:47:34.719
the<00:47:31.239><c> Ecclesia</c><00:47:31.500><c> seems</c><00:47:31.800><c> to</c><00:47:32.019><c> be</c><00:47:32.119><c> in</c><00:47:32.280><c> the</c><00:47:32.440><c> same</c><00:47:33.199><c> divided</c><00:47:33.659><c> camp.</c>

00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:37.679
You<00:47:35.420><c> know,</c><00:47:35.539><c> whether</c><00:47:35.719><c> it's</c><00:47:36.139><c> this</c><00:47:36.460><c> issue,</c><00:47:36.820><c> well,</c><00:47:37.199><c> you</c><00:47:37.280><c> know,</c><00:47:37.480><c> it</c>

00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:38.539
divides<00:47:37.840><c> right</c><00:47:38.119><c> down</c><00:47:38.340><c> there.</c>

00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:41.099
This<00:47:38.860><c> group</c><00:47:39.019><c> will</c><00:47:39.239><c> always</c><00:47:39.480><c> say</c><00:47:39.719><c> that.</c><00:47:40.019><c> This</c><00:47:40.199><c> group</c><00:47:40.400><c> will</c><00:47:40.599><c> always</c><00:47:40.840><c> say</c><00:47:40.980><c> that.</c>

00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:44.559
The<00:47:41.280><c> next</c><00:47:41.579><c> issue,</c><00:47:42.219><c> boy,</c><00:47:42.679><c> it</c><00:47:42.900><c> divides</c><00:47:43.139><c> the</c><00:47:43.380><c> same</c><00:47:43.559><c> way</c><00:47:43.760><c> again.</c>

00:47:45.860 --> 00:47:48.219
Now<00:47:46.059><c> it</c><00:47:46.159><c> can</c><00:47:46.360><c> almost</c><00:47:46.579><c> put</c><00:47:46.760><c> you</c><00:47:46.900><c> in</c><00:47:47.000><c> the</c><00:47:47.219><c> spirit</c><00:47:47.380><c> of</c><00:47:47.559><c> saying,</c><00:47:47.699><c> well,</c><00:47:47.840><c> wouldn't</c><00:47:48.019><c> it</c>

00:47:48.219 --> 00:47:51.079
be<00:47:48.360><c> better</c><00:47:48.579><c> if</c><00:47:48.760><c> that</c><00:47:48.940><c> Ecclesia</c><00:47:49.199><c> just</c><00:47:49.420><c> went</c><00:47:49.519><c> off</c><00:47:49.679><c> and</c><00:47:49.780><c> had</c><00:47:49.900><c> their</c><00:47:50.039><c> own</c><00:47:50.219><c> Ecclesia?</c>

00:47:51.940 --> 00:47:53.440
Where<00:47:52.199><c> do</c><00:47:52.320><c> you</c><00:47:52.400><c> get</c><00:47:52.559><c> that</c><00:47:52.820><c> from</c><00:47:53.019><c> here?</c>

00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:57.420
Except<00:47:54.260><c> that,</c><00:47:54.579><c> one</c><00:47:54.739><c> would</c><00:47:55.039><c> say</c><00:47:55.619><c> that</c><00:47:56.420><c> the</c><00:47:56.579><c> judgment</c><00:47:56.940><c> that</c><00:47:57.199><c> the</c>

Lord<00:47:57.739><c> said</c><00:47:58.019><c> he</c><00:47:58.260><c> would</c><00:47:58.519><c> put</c><00:47:58.800><c> upon</c><00:47:59.159><c> these</c><00:47:59.420><c> people</c><00:47:59.980><c> would</c><00:48:00.320><c> be</c><00:48:00.559><c> a</c>

00:48:00.739 --> 00:48:02.699
desirable<00:48:01.179><c> one</c><00:48:01.460><c> for</c><00:48:01.699><c> everybody.</c>

00:48:03.260 --> 00:48:06.159
It<00:48:03.260><c> can't</c><00:48:03.480><c> be</c><00:48:03.699><c> that.</c><00:48:04.699><c> He</c><00:48:04.880><c> was</c><00:48:05.039><c> talking</c><00:48:05.280><c> about</c><00:48:05.599><c> chastening.</c>

00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:09.199
He<00:48:06.800><c> was</c><00:48:07.039><c> saying,</c><00:48:07.300><c> repent</c><00:48:07.920><c> or</c><00:48:08.320><c> else.</c>

00:48:09.460 --> 00:48:13.840
So<00:48:09.679><c> we</c><00:48:09.860><c> must</c><00:48:10.179><c> see</c><00:48:10.400><c> this</c><00:48:10.719><c> comment</c><00:48:11.199><c> as</c><00:48:11.900><c> bringing</c><00:48:12.280><c> pain</c><00:48:12.780><c> and</c><00:48:13.199><c> suffering</c><00:48:13.559><c> to</c>

00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:15.260
the<00:48:14.059><c> whole</c><00:48:14.300><c> group.</c>

00:48:16.059 --> 00:48:18.960
And<00:48:16.199><c> I</c><00:48:16.360><c> dare</c><00:48:16.519><c> say,</c><00:48:16.840><c> if</c><00:48:17.019><c> our</c><00:48:17.300><c> mindset</c><00:48:17.760><c> is</c><00:48:18.219><c> right,</c><00:48:18.500><c> that's</c><00:48:18.840><c> the</c>

00:48:18.960 --> 00:48:21.139
way<00:48:19.079><c> it</c><00:48:19.300><c> must</c><00:48:19.579><c> be,</c><00:48:19.980><c> brothers</c><00:48:20.039><c> and</c><00:48:20.300><c> sisters.</c>

00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:25.420
We're<00:48:22.480><c> told</c><00:48:22.940><c> in</c><00:48:23.300><c> 2</c><00:48:23.519><c> Peter</c><00:48:23.719><c> 3</c><00:48:24.139><c> that</c><00:48:24.340><c> the</c><00:48:24.519><c> Lord</c><00:48:24.719><c> is</c><00:48:24.980><c> not</c><00:48:25.219><c> willing</c>

00:48:25.420 --> 00:48:29.239
that<00:48:25.739><c> any</c><00:48:25.980><c> should</c><00:48:26.239><c> perish,</c><00:48:27.539><c> but</c><00:48:27.679><c> that</c><00:48:27.860><c> all</c><00:48:28.039><c> should</c><00:48:28.239><c> come</c><00:48:28.500><c> unto</c><00:48:28.719><c> repentance.</c>

00:48:29.380 --> 00:48:33.239
And<00:48:29.460><c> the</c><00:48:29.699><c> question</c><00:48:30.099><c> to</c><00:48:30.340><c> ask</c><00:48:30.719><c> us</c><00:48:30.940><c> is,</c><00:48:31.400><c> do</c><00:48:31.500><c> we</c><00:48:31.679><c> feel</c><00:48:31.900><c> the</c><00:48:32.059><c> same</c><00:48:32.239><c> way?</c>

00:48:34.340 --> 00:48:36.539
Or<00:48:34.539><c> are</c><00:48:34.699><c> we</c><00:48:34.840><c> really,</c><00:48:35.079><c> in</c><00:48:35.219><c> our</c><00:48:35.320><c> own</c><00:48:35.539><c> minds,</c><00:48:35.800><c> quite</c><00:48:36.019><c> happy</c><00:48:36.300><c> that</c>

00:54:38.719 --> 00:54:41.219

00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:02.219
In<00:55:00.159><c> fact,</c><00:55:00.460><c> if</c><00:55:00.539><c> the</c><00:55:00.699><c> pasture's</c><00:55:01.079><c> got</c><00:55:01.239><c> too</c><00:55:01.519><c> high</c><00:55:01.760><c> before</c><00:55:02.019><c> they've</c>

00:55:05.739 --> 00:55:07.920
So<00:55:05.880><c> it's</c><00:55:06.039><c> very</c><00:55:06.199><c> accurate</c><00:55:06.480><c> what</c><00:55:06.599><c> he's</c><00:55:06.880><c> saying</c><00:55:06.960><c> here.</c>

the<00:55:12.980><c> edge</c><00:55:13.099><c> and</c><00:55:13.559><c> just,</c><00:55:13.639><c> you</c><00:55:13.699><c> know,</c><00:55:14.300><c> slip</c><00:55:14.380><c> their</c><00:55:14.579><c> little</c><00:55:15.059><c> noses</c>

00:55:16.480 --> 00:55:20.599
But<00:55:16.719><c> they</c><00:55:17.000><c> rush</c><00:55:17.239><c> right</c><00:55:17.659><c> in,</c><00:55:18.239><c> you</c><00:55:18.519><c> know,</c><00:55:18.800><c> and</c><00:55:19.539><c> what</c><00:55:19.820><c> animals</c><00:55:20.099><c> do</c>

00:55:27.519 --> 00:55:32.159
He's<00:55:28.079><c> not</c><00:55:28.219><c> talking</c><00:55:28.500><c> about</c><00:55:28.719><c> animals.</c><00:55:30.440><c> He's</c><00:55:30.820><c> talking</c><00:55:31.019><c> about</c><00:55:31.380><c> brethren.</c>

00:55:34.119 --> 00:55:37.860
And<00:55:34.260><c> God</c><00:55:34.420><c> says,</c><00:55:34.760><c> I</c><00:55:34.760><c> won't</c><00:55:34.980><c> overlook</c><00:55:35.420><c> that.</c><00:55:36.280><c> I</c><00:55:36.519><c> will</c><00:55:36.699><c> judge</c><00:55:36.940><c> that.</c>

00:55:55.619 --> 00:55:58.480
The<00:55:55.739><c> Lord</c><00:55:56.019><c> knows</c><00:55:56.440><c> what's</c><00:55:56.760><c> going</c><00:55:57.039><c> on</c><00:55:57.219><c> in</c><00:55:57.360><c> this</c><00:55:57.519><c> Ecclesia.</c>

Because<01:01:19.360><c> there</c><01:01:19.579><c> was</c><01:01:19.800><c> no</c><01:01:20.119><c> proof</c><01:01:20.539><c> that</c><01:01:21.159><c> capital</c><01:01:21.559><c> punishment</c><01:01:21.980><c> was</c><01:01:22.260><c> a</c>

01:01:22.380 --> 01:01:24.340
deterrent<01:01:23.219><c> to</c><01:01:23.539><c> murder.</c>

01:01:24.920 --> 01:01:27.760
And<01:01:25.480><c> yet</c><01:01:25.679><c> in</c><01:01:25.940><c> our</c><01:01:26.139><c> Bibles</c><01:01:26.519><c> we're</c><01:01:26.880><c> clearly</c><01:01:27.260><c> taught.</c>

01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:31.039
That<01:01:28.260><c> unless</c><01:01:28.519><c> people</c><01:01:29.139><c> deal</c><01:01:29.639><c> in</c><01:01:29.860><c> that</c><01:01:30.079><c> severe</c><01:01:30.480><c> way.</c>

01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:34.199
With<01:01:31.619><c> the</c><01:01:31.900><c> problem</c><01:01:32.219><c> of</c><01:01:32.500><c> presumptuous</c><01:01:33.159><c> behavior.</c>

01:01:34.340 --> 01:01:37.320
That<01:01:34.500><c> in</c><01:01:34.780><c> fact</c><01:01:35.039><c> it</c><01:01:35.460><c> would</c><01:01:35.699><c> continue</c><01:01:36.199><c> and</c><01:01:36.480><c> flourish.</c>

01:01:38.360 --> 01:01:40.260
So<01:01:38.639><c> again</c><01:01:38.980><c> brothers</c><01:01:39.239><c> and</c><01:01:39.480><c> sisters.</c>

01:01:40.800 --> 01:01:44.539
If<01:01:41.360><c> we're</c><01:01:41.579><c> not</c><01:01:42.260><c> focused</c><01:01:43.159><c> on</c><01:01:43.699><c> the</c><01:01:43.920><c> word</c><01:01:44.039><c> of</c><01:01:44.300><c> God.</c>

01:01:44.599 --> 01:01:47.599
But<01:01:44.860><c> let</c><01:01:45.039><c> other</c><01:01:45.420><c> things</c><01:01:45.880><c> influence</c><01:01:46.460><c> our</c><01:01:46.800><c> reasoning.</c>

01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:50.519
We<01:01:47.980><c> just</c><01:01:48.239><c> can't</c><01:01:48.679><c> carry</c><01:01:48.940><c> out</c><01:01:49.159><c> the</c><01:01:49.300><c> will</c><01:01:49.420><c> of</c><01:01:49.619><c> our</c><01:01:49.780><c> God.</c>

01:01:51.059 --> 01:01:53.639
We<01:01:51.260><c> needed</c><01:01:51.440><c> a</c><01:01:51.579><c> little</c><01:01:51.780><c> more</c><01:01:52.059><c> time</c><01:01:52.340><c> to</c><01:01:52.579><c> just</c><01:01:52.780><c> finish</c><01:01:53.000><c> this</c><01:01:53.320><c> off.</c>

01:01:53.900 --> 01:01:56.920
Lord<01:01:54.280><c> willing</c><01:01:54.539><c> we'll</c><01:01:55.039><c> do</c><01:01:55.159><c> that</c><01:01:55.500><c> in</c><01:01:55.699><c> tomorrow's</c><01:01:56.420><c> session.</c>
