00:08:10.540 --> 00:08:13.939
Why<00:08:10.899><c> does</c><00:08:11.180><c> John</c><00:08:11.540><c> start</c><00:08:12.279><c> off</c><00:08:12.540><c> like</c><00:08:12.879><c> this?</c>

00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:21.240
very<00:08:19.959><c> profound.</c>

00:08:25.100 --> 00:08:27.720
I<00:08:25.100><c> would</c><00:08:25.279><c> like,</c><00:08:25.519><c> if</c><00:08:25.600><c> I</c><00:08:25.779><c> may,</c><00:08:26.339><c> to</c><00:08:26.439><c> put</c><00:08:26.600><c> it</c><00:08:26.740><c> in</c><00:08:26.839><c> the</c><00:08:27.040><c> form</c><00:08:27.339><c> of</c><00:08:27.600><c> a</c>

and<00:09:21.799><c> they</c><00:09:21.980><c> came</c><00:09:22.200><c> to</c><00:09:22.360><c> us</c><00:09:23.000><c> on</c><00:09:23.360><c> the</c><00:09:23.519><c> waveband</c><00:09:23.840><c> of</c><00:09:24.159><c> sight,</c><00:09:26.019><c> but</c><00:09:26.159><c> on</c>

00:09:26.379 --> 00:09:27.600
none<00:09:26.500><c> of</c><00:09:26.659><c> the</c><00:09:26.759><c> others.</c>

00:09:28.139 --> 00:09:31.840
So,<00:09:28.879><c> by</c><00:09:29.019><c> reason</c><00:09:29.200><c> of</c><00:09:29.299><c> that</c><00:09:29.500><c> one</c><00:09:29.720><c> waveband,</c><00:09:30.139><c> we</c><00:09:30.340><c> were</c><00:09:30.620><c> aware</c><00:09:31.120><c> of</c>

00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.019
the<00:09:32.120><c> existence</c><00:09:32.659><c> of</c><00:09:33.320><c> those</c><00:09:33.559><c> heavenly</c><00:09:33.899><c> bodies.</c>

00:09:36.620 --> 00:09:40.539
Other<00:09:36.879><c> things</c><00:09:37.259><c> come</c><00:09:37.539><c> through</c><00:09:37.779><c> very</c><00:09:38.139><c> powerfully</c><00:09:38.440><c> on</c><00:09:38.600><c> all</c><00:09:38.879><c> five</c><00:09:39.299><c> wavebands.</c>

00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.080
Thus,<00:09:41.700><c> there</c><00:09:41.700><c> can</c><00:09:41.919><c> be</c><00:09:42.879><c> a</c><00:09:43.679><c> pan</c><00:09:43.860><c> full</c><00:09:44.080><c> of</c><00:09:44.379><c> stew</c><00:09:44.539><c> bubbling</c><00:09:44.840><c> there</c>

00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:45.759
on<00:09:45.240><c> the</c><00:09:45.480><c> stove,</c>

00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.840
and<00:09:46.299><c> we</c><00:09:47.340><c> can</c><00:09:47.860><c> see</c><00:09:48.220><c> it,</c><00:09:48.500><c> and</c><00:09:48.679><c> we</c><00:09:48.799><c> can</c><00:09:49.320><c> smell</c><00:09:49.559><c> it,</c><00:09:49.799><c> and</c><00:09:49.980><c> we</c><00:09:50.100><c> can</c><00:09:50.440><c> hear</c><00:09:50.620><c> it</c>

00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.340
bubbling<00:09:51.080><c> there,</c><00:09:51.480><c> and</c><00:09:51.580><c> we</c><00:09:51.720><c> can</c><00:09:52.279><c> touch</c><00:09:52.519><c> it,</c><00:09:52.740><c> and</c><00:09:52.840><c> we</c><00:09:53.000><c> can</c><00:09:53.360><c> taste</c><00:09:53.600><c> it.</c>

00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:57.139
And<00:09:55.120><c> so</c><00:09:55.179><c> that</c><00:09:55.340><c> comes</c><00:09:55.600><c> through</c><00:09:55.799><c> very</c><00:09:56.120><c> powerfully.</c>

00:09:58.100 --> 00:09:59.620
But<00:09:58.299><c> if</c><00:09:58.399><c> something</c><00:09:58.600><c> doesn't</c><00:09:58.799><c> come</c><00:09:59.080><c> through</c><00:09:59.159><c> on</c><00:09:59.299><c> any</c><00:09:59.460><c> one</c><00:09:59.559><c> of</c>

those<00:09:59.879><c> five</c><00:10:00.159><c> wavebands,</c><00:10:00.659><c> then</c><00:10:00.779><c> to</c><00:10:00.940><c> us,</c><00:10:01.179><c> the</c><00:10:01.360><c> natural</c><00:10:01.620><c> man,</c><00:10:02.080><c> it</c>

00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:08.639
Whereas<00:10:04.940><c> by</c><00:10:05.500><c> faith,</c><00:10:06.519><c> we</c><00:10:06.799><c> would</c><00:10:06.960><c> all</c><00:10:07.259><c> agree</c><00:10:07.500><c> that</c><00:10:07.700><c> it</c><00:10:07.879><c> could</c><00:10:08.100><c> well</c><00:10:08.379><c> be</c>

To<00:10:16.000><c> the</c><00:10:16.179><c> natural</c><00:10:16.500><c> man,</c><00:10:17.159><c> he</c><00:10:17.299><c> isn't</c><00:10:17.559><c> there.</c>

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.000
Albeit,<00:10:19.340><c> we</c><00:10:19.620><c> believe</c><00:10:19.960><c> that</c><00:10:20.220><c> the</c><00:10:20.539><c> angel</c><00:10:20.779><c> of</c><00:10:20.919><c> the</c><00:10:21.019><c> Lord</c><00:10:21.200><c> encampeth</c><00:10:21.799><c> about</c>

00:10:25.299 --> 00:10:31.779
Now,<00:10:26.139><c> I</c><00:10:26.299><c> would</c><00:10:26.539><c> like</c><00:10:26.960><c> you</c><00:10:27.559><c> to</c><00:10:28.039><c> follow</c><00:10:28.259><c> through</c><00:10:28.539><c> this</c><00:10:28.740><c> little</c><00:10:28.980><c> parable</c><00:10:29.279><c> in</c><00:10:30.019><c> the</c><00:10:30.100><c> form</c><00:10:30.259><c> of</c><00:10:30.460><c> a</c><00:10:30.559><c> hypothesis.</c>

00:10:32.899 --> 00:10:37.679
Let<00:10:33.100><c> us</c><00:10:33.259><c> say</c><00:10:33.480><c> that</c><00:10:33.639><c> a</c><00:10:33.799><c> young</c><00:10:34.039><c> child</c><00:10:34.460><c> was</c><00:10:34.840><c> born</c><00:10:35.139><c> who</c><00:10:35.360><c> very</c><00:10:35.799><c> tragically</c><00:10:36.620><c> had</c>

00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:58.380
He<00:29:55.160><c> wasn't</c><00:29:55.539><c> just</c><00:29:56.299><c> an</c><00:29:56.640><c> ordinary</c><00:29:57.180><c> carpenter.</c>

00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:02.859

00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:06.660
Now<00:30:03.640><c> let's</c><00:30:03.819><c> just</c><00:30:04.160><c> take</c><00:30:04.500><c> from</c><00:30:05.059><c> those</c><00:30:05.380><c> verses</c><00:30:05.619><c> we've</c><00:30:06.000><c> quoted</c>

just<00:30:08.339><c> one.</c>

00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:14.779
I<00:30:10.440><c> know</c><00:30:10.839><c> some</c><00:30:12.259><c> speakers</c><00:30:12.579><c> have</c><00:30:12.859><c> a</c><00:30:13.640><c> naughty</c><00:30:13.859><c> habit</c><00:30:14.200><c> of</c><00:30:14.579><c> picking</c>

00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:18.859
Well,<00:30:16.700><c> we'll</c><00:30:17.079><c> try</c><00:30:17.299><c> and</c><00:30:17.400><c> be</c><00:30:17.539><c> honest</c><00:30:17.759><c> and</c><00:30:17.960><c> pick</c><00:30:18.279><c> what</c><00:30:18.559><c> we</c><00:30:18.740><c> think</c>

00:30:18.859 --> 00:30:20.339
is<00:30:19.240><c> the</c><00:30:19.420><c> most</c><00:30:19.619><c> difficult</c>

00:30:20.380 --> 00:30:23.119
and<00:30:20.819><c> look</c><00:30:21.000><c> at</c><00:30:21.160><c> that</c><00:30:21.400><c> verse</c><00:30:21.599><c> together</c><00:30:22.119><c> and</c><00:30:22.480><c> we</c><00:30:22.619><c> can</c><00:30:22.740><c> talk</c><00:30:22.900><c> about</c>

the<00:30:23.279><c> others</c><00:30:23.599><c> in</c><00:30:24.079><c> our</c><00:30:24.319><c> time</c><00:30:24.539><c> together.</c>

00:30:25.380 --> 00:30:30.779
Let's<00:30:25.519><c> go</c><00:30:25.700><c> back</c><00:30:25.900><c> to</c><00:30:26.039><c> that</c><00:30:26.200><c> one</c><00:30:26.339><c> in</c><00:30:26.579><c> John</c><00:30:26.819><c> chapter</c><00:30:27.180><c> 6</c><00:30:28.680><c> and</c><00:30:29.220><c> verse</c><00:30:29.460><c> 62.</c>

00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:34.119
Perhaps<00:30:32.539><c> you</c><00:30:32.660><c> don't</c><00:30:32.880><c> think</c><00:30:33.039><c> this</c><00:30:33.259><c> is</c><00:30:33.380><c> the</c><00:30:33.480><c> most</c><00:30:33.720><c> difficult</c><00:30:33.960><c> of</c>

00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:40.420
Jesus<00:30:38.900><c> says</c><00:30:39.160><c> there,</c>

00:30:40.779 --> 00:30:47.259
What<00:30:40.819><c> and</c><00:30:41.259><c> if</c><00:30:41.640><c> ye</c><00:30:41.900><c> shall</c><00:30:42.119><c> see</c><00:30:42.880><c> the</c><00:30:43.559><c> Son</c><00:30:43.839><c> of</c><00:30:44.099><c> Man</c><00:30:44.880><c> ascend</c><00:30:45.500><c> up</c><00:30:46.259><c> where</c><00:30:46.920><c> he</c>

00:30:47.259 --> 00:30:49.220
was<00:30:47.799><c> before?</c>

00:30:50.819 --> 00:30:57.799
Now<00:30:51.380><c> we</c><00:30:51.940><c> can</c><00:30:52.200><c> look</c><00:30:52.480><c> in</c><00:30:53.059><c> any</c><00:30:53.500><c> translation,</c><00:30:55.400><c> in</c><00:30:55.579><c> any</c><00:30:55.920><c> commentaries,</c><00:30:56.400><c> we</c><00:30:56.480><c> can</c><00:30:56.759><c> look</c><00:30:56.980><c> at</c><00:30:57.279><c> concordances,</c>

00:30:57.900 --> 00:31:00.220
we<00:30:58.000><c> can</c><00:30:58.160><c> do</c><00:30:58.240><c> what</c><00:30:58.420><c> we</c><00:30:58.720><c> like</c><00:30:58.960><c> and</c><00:30:59.160><c> we</c><00:30:59.240><c> can</c><00:30:59.539><c> wriggle</c><00:30:59.799><c> and</c><00:31:00.019><c> twist</c>

00:31:00.220 --> 00:31:01.119
this<00:31:00.579><c> way</c><00:31:00.740><c> and</c><00:31:00.940><c> that,</c>

00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:04.380
but<00:31:01.599><c> that's</c><00:31:01.960><c> what</c><00:31:02.160><c> it</c><00:31:02.440><c> means.</c><00:31:02.720><c> It's</c><00:31:02.960><c> a</c><00:31:03.059><c> good</c><00:31:03.220><c> translation.</c>

00:31:07.619 --> 00:31:13.059
So<00:31:08.220><c> how</c><00:31:08.559><c> could</c><00:31:08.799><c> Jesus</c><00:31:09.140><c> say</c><00:31:09.799><c> that</c><00:31:11.039><c> when</c><00:31:11.460><c> he</c><00:31:11.960><c> ascended</c><00:31:12.259><c> to</c><00:31:12.460><c> his</c><00:31:12.680><c> father,</c>

00:31:13.380 --> 00:31:17.759
he<00:31:13.539><c> was</c><00:31:13.839><c> ascending</c><00:31:14.700><c> to</c><00:31:15.420><c> where</c><00:31:15.720><c> he</c><00:31:15.980><c> was</c><00:31:16.339><c> before?</c>

00:31:21.819 --> 00:31:25.119
I<00:31:22.000><c> suppose</c><00:31:22.299><c> it</c><00:31:22.740><c> would</c><00:31:22.859><c> be</c><00:31:23.059><c> possible</c><00:31:23.380><c> to</c><00:31:23.579><c> become</c><00:31:23.839><c> extremely</c><00:31:24.339><c> complicated</c><00:31:24.900><c> at</c>

00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:25.779
this<00:31:25.359><c> stage</c>

00:31:25.779 --> 00:31:29.680
and<00:31:26.720><c> if</c><00:31:26.859><c> we</c><00:31:27.039><c> did</c><00:31:27.160><c> I</c><00:31:27.380><c> assure</c><00:31:27.559><c> you</c><00:31:27.759><c> I'd</c><00:31:27.940><c> be</c><00:31:28.059><c> going</c><00:31:28.160><c> out</c><00:31:28.339><c> of</c><00:31:28.539><c> my</c><00:31:28.720><c> depth.</c>

00:31:29.819 --> 00:31:34.200
But<00:31:30.339><c> let's</c><00:31:30.640><c> try</c><00:31:30.839><c> and</c><00:31:30.980><c> let</c><00:31:31.119><c> Scripture</c><00:31:31.819><c> answer</c><00:31:32.839><c> Scripture</c>

00:31:34.380 --> 00:31:38.039

00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:42.140
and<00:31:39.039><c> I'll</c><00:31:39.279><c> confess</c><00:31:39.579><c> to</c><00:31:39.740><c> Brother</c><00:31:39.900><c> Harry</c><00:31:40.140><c> afterwards</c><00:31:40.519><c> that</c><00:31:40.779><c> I</c><00:31:40.960><c> have</c><00:31:41.660><c> quoted</c><00:31:41.940><c> a</c>

00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:49.180
But<00:31:46.319><c> it</c><00:31:46.480><c> is</c><00:31:46.720><c> needful</c><00:31:47.079><c> that</c><00:31:47.200><c> we</c><00:31:47.359><c> just</c><00:31:47.559><c> look</c><00:31:47.720><c> at</c><00:31:47.900><c> this</c><00:31:48.160><c> one.</c>

00:31:49.380 --> 00:31:53.039

00:36:01.940 --> 00:36:08.139
Levi<00:36:02.699><c> didn't</c><00:36:03.000><c> pre</c><00:36:03.300><c>-exist</c><00:36:03.880><c> as</c><00:36:07.059><c> a</c><00:36:07.199><c> person.</c>

00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:23.059

00:36:24.099 --> 00:36:29.360

00:36:53.920 --> 00:37:00.539
He<00:36:54.699><c> was</c><00:36:55.559><c> and</c><00:36:56.440><c> is</c><00:36:57.340><c> the</c><00:36:57.820><c> Son</c><00:36:58.059><c> of</c><00:36:58.340><c> God</c><00:36:58.579><c> and</c><00:36:58.900><c> all</c><00:36:59.159><c> that</c><00:36:59.340><c> that</c><00:36:59.599><c> meant.</c>

00:37:00.619 --> 00:37:04.380
And<00:37:00.900><c> that's</c><00:37:01.099><c> how</c><00:37:01.440><c> powerful</c><00:37:01.940><c> this</c><00:37:02.219><c> teaching</c><00:37:02.559><c> of</c><00:37:02.800><c> Jesus</c><00:37:03.059><c> is.</c>

00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:09.920
This<00:37:05.980><c> verse</c><00:37:06.340><c> in</c><00:37:06.719><c> John</c><00:37:07.000><c> 6</c><00:37:07.619><c> depends</c><00:37:08.400><c> and</c><00:37:08.659><c> hangs</c><00:37:08.940><c> upon</c><00:37:09.179><c> the</c><00:37:09.460><c> fact</c>

00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:12.780
that<00:37:10.820><c> he</c><00:37:10.900><c> was</c><00:37:11.059><c> the</c><00:37:11.219><c> only</c><00:37:11.380><c> begotten</c><00:37:11.820><c> of</c><00:37:11.960><c> the</c><00:37:12.119><c> Son</c><00:37:12.280><c> of</c><00:37:12.480><c> God,</c>

00:37:12.900 --> 00:37:17.960
just<00:37:13.119><c> as</c><00:37:13.460><c> surely</c><00:37:13.800><c> as</c><00:37:14.440><c> in</c><00:37:14.659><c> a</c><00:37:14.780><c> natural</c><00:37:15.099><c> sense</c><00:37:15.579><c> in</c><00:37:16.659><c> Hebrews</c><00:37:17.059><c> 7,</c>

00:37:28.579 --> 00:37:33.000
So<00:37:29.139><c> it</c><00:37:29.699><c> is</c><00:37:29.880><c> very</c><00:37:30.300><c> powerful,</c><00:37:31.239><c> his</c><00:37:31.300><c> being</c><00:37:31.579><c> the</c><00:37:31.760><c> Son</c><00:37:31.900><c> of</c><00:37:32.119><c> God.</c>

What<00:37:34.539><c> difference</c><00:37:35.099><c> did</c><00:37:35.400><c> it</c><00:37:35.739><c> make</c><00:37:36.360><c> in</c><00:37:37.599><c> his</c><00:37:38.000><c> teaching?</c>

00:37:39.179 --> 00:37:43.420
This<00:37:39.559><c> one</c><00:37:39.920><c> who</c><00:37:40.159><c> was</c><00:37:40.400><c> the</c><00:37:40.760><c> Word</c><00:37:41.360><c> made</c><00:37:42.079><c> flesh.</c>

00:37:44.940 --> 00:37:46.800

00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:49.440
I'm<00:37:48.039><c> really</c><00:37:48.320><c> taking</c><00:37:48.500><c> too</c><00:37:48.639><c> much</c><00:37:48.840><c> license</c><00:37:49.199><c> there.</c>

00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:54.380
This<00:37:49.739><c> one</c><00:37:49.880><c> who</c><00:37:50.179><c> was</c><00:37:50.460><c> the</c><00:37:50.880><c> image</c><00:37:51.579><c> of</c><00:37:53.179><c> his</c><00:37:53.400><c> father.</c>
