00:25:53.299 --> 00:25:57.000
And<00:25:53.500><c> it's</c><00:25:54.359><c> the</c><00:25:54.559><c> space</c><00:25:55.000><c> of</c><00:25:55.599><c> a</c><00:25:55.839><c> comma,</c><00:25:56.259><c> between</c><00:25:56.539><c> a</c><00:25:56.740><c> comma</c><00:25:56.859><c> and</c>

we'll<00:26:06.160><c> have</c><00:26:06.299><c> two</c><00:26:06.519><c> sentences.</c>

00:26:08.339 --> 00:26:11.279
You<00:26:08.460><c> know,</c><00:26:08.680><c> and</c><00:26:09.180><c> I</c><00:26:09.299><c> think</c><00:26:09.460><c> that's</c><00:26:09.759><c> probably</c><00:26:09.960><c> true.</c><00:26:10.960><c> And</c><00:26:11.119><c> they</c>

00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:14.900
were<00:26:11.460><c> put</c><00:26:11.680><c> there</c><00:26:12.140><c> to</c><00:26:12.460><c> destroy</c><00:26:12.900><c> Hitler</c><00:26:13.319><c> and</c><00:26:14.059><c> to</c><00:26:14.279><c> allow</c><00:26:14.480><c> Israel</c>

00:26:17.339 --> 00:26:20.519
That's<00:26:17.779><c> one</c><00:26:18.000><c> sentence,</c><00:26:18.339><c> actually.</c><00:26:20.220><c> Geez.</c>

00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:23.579
Now<00:26:21.339><c> you</c><00:26:21.640><c> can't</c><00:26:22.019><c> accuse</c><00:26:22.259><c> me</c><00:26:22.500><c> of</c><00:26:22.559><c> being</c><00:26:22.859><c> short</c><00:26:23.079><c> of</c><00:26:23.259><c> words,</c><00:26:23.420><c> so</c>

00:26:23.579 --> 00:26:26.259
that<00:26:23.880><c> shows</c><00:26:24.160><c> you</c><00:26:24.319><c> how</c><00:26:24.599><c> unimportant</c><00:26:25.099><c> it</c><00:26:25.400><c> probably</c><00:26:25.640><c> will</c><00:26:25.900><c> be.</c>

00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:29.519
And<00:26:26.700><c> I</c><00:26:26.819><c> think</c><00:26:26.940><c> that's</c><00:26:27.259><c> the</c><00:26:27.460><c> truth.</c><00:26:28.019><c> I</c><00:26:28.099><c> think</c><00:26:28.319><c> all</c><00:26:28.660><c> of</c><00:26:29.180><c> Soviet</c>

00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:32.880

00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:35.460
condensed<00:26:33.240><c> that</c><00:26:34.059><c> small</c><00:26:34.539><c> space.</c>

00:26:35.619 --> 00:26:38.299
And<00:26:35.759><c> so</c><00:26:35.839><c> when</c><00:26:36.000><c> we</c><00:26:36.160><c> read</c><00:26:36.380><c> things</c><00:26:36.640><c> in</c><00:26:36.839><c> Scripture</c><00:26:37.299><c> and</c><00:26:38.079><c> they're</c>

00:26:38.299 --> 00:26:41.819
given<00:26:38.480><c> space,</c><00:26:39.079><c> there's</c><00:26:39.400><c> really</c><00:26:39.799><c> great</c><00:26:40.400><c> reason</c><00:26:40.880><c> for</c><00:26:41.160><c> it.</c>

00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:46.539
So<00:26:42.299><c> why</c><00:26:42.920><c> didn't</c><00:26:43.339><c> all</c><00:26:43.740><c> these</c><00:26:43.960><c> worldly</c><00:26:44.359><c> preparations</c><00:26:45.059><c> draw</c><00:26:45.980><c> the</c>

00:26:46.539 --> 00:26:48.000
ire<00:26:46.740><c> of</c><00:26:46.940><c> the</c><00:26:47.079><c> Lord</c><00:26:47.240><c> God</c><00:26:47.440><c> of</c><00:26:47.579><c> Israel?</c>

00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:54.220
And<00:26:49.240><c> the</c><00:26:49.400><c> answer</c><00:26:49.759><c> is,</c><00:26:50.700><c> because</c><00:26:51.200><c> they</c><00:26:51.940><c> were</c><00:26:52.240><c> all</c><00:26:52.579><c> done</c><00:26:53.079><c> in</c><00:26:54.000><c> the</c>

00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:09.859

fairly<00:32:51.319><c> badly.</c>

00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:53.920

knew<00:32:54.059><c> it.</c>

00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:56.920
But<00:32:54.700><c> then</c><00:32:54.980><c> after</c><00:32:55.240><c> that</c><00:32:55.480><c> time</c><00:32:55.619><c> everybody</c><00:32:56.039><c> mispronounced</c><00:32:56.680><c> that</c>

00:32:56.920 --> 00:32:58.779

00:33:03.299 --> 00:33:06.940
And<00:33:03.400><c> then</c><00:33:03.579><c> 15</c><00:33:03.940><c> years</c><00:33:04.319><c> ago</c><00:33:04.680><c> I</c><00:33:04.839><c> was</c><00:33:05.079><c> in</c><00:33:05.259><c> Leeds</c><00:33:05.819><c> and</c><00:33:06.119><c> I</c><00:33:06.259><c> was</c><00:33:06.440><c> talking</c><00:33:06.660><c> at</c><00:33:06.799><c> the</c>

00:33:10.299 --> 00:33:13.019
everybody<00:33:10.700><c> was</c><00:33:10.960><c> mispronouncing</c><00:33:11.759><c> the</c><00:33:12.099><c> word</c><00:33:12.279><c> the</c><00:33:12.460><c> same</c><00:33:12.680><c> way.</c>

00:33:13.299 --> 00:33:15.740
So<00:33:13.460><c> I</c><00:33:13.579><c> think</c><00:33:13.680><c> it</c><00:33:13.759><c> has</c><00:33:13.880><c> nothing</c><00:33:14.160><c> to</c><00:33:14.380><c> do,</c><00:33:14.720><c> it's</c><00:33:14.940><c> like</c><00:33:15.420><c> a</c><00:33:15.599><c> prophet</c>

00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:19.299
If<00:33:17.259><c> you're</c><00:33:17.519><c> the</c><00:33:17.680><c> visitor,</c><00:33:18.220><c> you</c><00:33:18.339><c> can</c><00:33:18.539><c> get</c><00:33:18.700><c> away</c><00:33:18.859><c> with</c><00:33:19.019><c> it.</c>

00:33:19.460 --> 00:33:23.240
But<00:33:19.680><c> I</c><00:33:20.000><c> really</c><00:33:20.319><c> don't</c><00:33:20.559><c> want</c><00:33:20.680><c> to</c><00:33:20.819><c> do</c><00:33:20.960><c> this,</c><00:33:21.200><c> I</c><00:33:21.420><c> can</c><00:33:21.619><c> do</c><00:33:21.859><c> coethites</c><00:33:22.339><c> and</c><00:33:22.539><c> Azariah</c><00:33:23.119><c> and</c>

00:33:26.099 --> 00:33:31.900
But<00:33:26.380><c> notice</c><00:33:26.980><c> everybody's</c><00:33:27.700><c> there,</c><00:33:29.019><c> the</c><00:33:29.259><c> coethites,</c><00:33:30.720><c> they're</c><00:33:30.940><c> there.</c>

00:33:33.099 --> 00:33:36.859

their<00:33:43.720><c> lives,</c><00:33:44.420><c> and</c><00:33:44.539><c> it's</c><00:33:45.039><c> Hezekiah</c><00:33:45.599><c> who</c><00:33:45.799><c> turns</c><00:33:46.019><c> them</c><00:33:46.259><c> over.</c>

00:33:47.980 --> 00:33:50.599
And<00:33:48.460><c> he</c><00:33:48.599><c> gathered</c><00:33:48.960><c> together</c><00:33:49.359><c> their</c><00:33:49.579><c> brethren</c><00:33:49.920><c> and</c><00:33:50.140><c> they</c>

00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:51.980
sanctified<00:33:51.160><c> themselves</c>

00:33:51.980 --> 00:33:56.200

00:33:58.380 --> 00:34:02.119
So<00:33:58.599><c> he</c><00:33:58.779><c> goes</c><00:33:59.099><c> back</c><00:33:59.619><c> and</c><00:33:59.900><c> he</c><00:34:00.099><c> must</c><00:34:00.380><c> have</c><00:34:00.599><c> got</c><00:34:00.940><c> the</c><00:34:01.319><c> scroll.</c>

00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:14.739
And<00:34:12.800><c> so</c><00:34:12.920><c> there's</c><00:34:13.159><c> another</c><00:34:13.440><c> I</c><00:34:13.599><c> think</c><00:34:13.760><c> important</c><00:34:14.320><c> lesson.</c>

I<00:39:30.519><c> looked</c><00:39:30.840><c> at</c><00:39:30.940><c> this</c><00:39:31.179><c> real</c><00:39:31.420><c> carefully</c><00:39:31.880><c> a</c><00:39:32.099><c> couple</c><00:39:32.260><c> of</c><00:39:32.380><c> weeks</c><00:39:32.559><c> ago</c>

00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.139

00:39:40.139 --> 00:39:41.460
usually<00:39:40.440><c> right.</c>

00:39:41.639 --> 00:39:51.019
And<00:39:41.699><c> so</c><00:39:42.119><c> either</c><00:39:43.500><c> those</c><00:39:43.880><c> border</c><00:39:44.179><c> guards</c><00:39:44.400><c> were</c><00:39:44.619><c> not</c><00:39:44.800><c> there</c><00:39:45.019><c> anymore</c><00:39:45.440><c> or</c><00:39:47.179><c> Assyria</c><00:39:48.039><c> must</c><00:39:48.280><c> have</c><00:39:48.480><c> already</c><00:39:49.019><c> been</c><00:39:49.619><c> in</c><00:39:50.679><c> a</c><00:39:50.860><c> mode</c>

00:39:51.019 --> 00:39:56.099
where<00:39:52.039><c> they</c><00:39:52.679><c> knew</c><00:39:52.940><c> that</c><00:39:53.440><c> attack</c><00:39:53.679><c> was</c><00:39:53.920><c> imminent</c><00:39:54.219><c> and</c><00:39:55.139><c> Hosea</c><00:39:55.480><c> had</c><00:39:55.699><c> given</c><00:39:55.840><c> up</c>

00:39:56.099 --> 00:39:57.639

00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:01.780
He<00:39:57.800><c> needed</c><00:39:58.039><c> every</c><00:39:58.400><c> last</c><00:39:59.460><c> troop</c><00:39:59.699><c> he</c><00:39:59.980><c> could</c><00:40:00.480><c> knowing</c><00:40:01.360><c> what</c><00:40:01.539><c> was</c>

00:40:05.940 --> 00:40:13.019
And<00:40:06.579><c> so</c><00:40:06.739><c> he</c><00:40:06.900><c> sends</c><00:40:07.099><c> these</c><00:40:07.420><c> letters</c><00:40:07.639><c> out</c><00:40:08.260><c> for</c><00:40:08.539><c> the</c><00:40:08.760><c> king</c><00:40:08.900><c> had</c><00:40:09.159><c> taken</c><00:40:09.420><c> counsel</c><00:40:09.960><c> and</c><00:40:10.199><c> his</c><00:40:10.420><c> princes</c><00:40:10.739><c> and</c><00:40:11.039><c> all</c><00:40:11.219><c> the</c><00:40:11.480><c> congregation</c><00:40:12.079><c> of</c><00:40:12.599><c> Jerusalem</c>

00:40:13.019 --> 00:40:16.440

00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:19.320
Uh<00:40:16.940><c> oh,</c><00:40:17.980><c> what's</c><00:40:18.320><c> wrong</c><00:40:18.500><c> here?</c>

00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:24.019
It's<00:40:22.679><c> the</c><00:40:22.820><c> wrong</c><00:40:23.059><c> month.</c>

00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:29.340
Now<00:40:25.460><c> the</c><00:40:25.599><c> reason</c><00:40:26.019><c> for</c><00:40:26.380><c> it</c><00:40:26.619><c> was</c><00:40:27.199><c> that</c><00:40:28.000><c> they</c><00:40:28.420><c> couldn't</c><00:40:28.699><c> purify</c>

00:40:29.340 --> 00:40:30.579
themselves<00:40:29.780><c> fast</c><00:40:30.219><c> enough.</c>

00:40:30.579 --> 00:40:36.780
There<00:40:31.199><c> was</c><00:40:31.539><c> so</c><00:40:32.099><c> much</c><00:40:33.860><c> transgression,</c><00:40:35.380><c> perversion,</c><00:40:36.099><c> and</c><00:40:36.179><c> filthiness</c><00:40:36.579><c> in</c>

00:40:36.780 --> 00:40:39.260
the<00:40:36.960><c> land</c><00:40:37.099><c> that</c><00:40:37.199><c> they</c><00:40:37.480><c> couldn't</c><00:40:37.780><c> get</c><00:40:38.099><c> ready</c><00:40:38.400><c> in</c><00:40:38.619><c> the</c><00:40:38.820><c> first</c><00:40:39.139><c> day.</c>

00:40:39.380 --> 00:40:43.099
Remember<00:40:39.519><c> it's</c><00:40:39.639><c> on</c><00:40:39.780><c> the</c><00:40:39.960><c> 14th</c><00:40:40.400><c> day</c><00:40:40.519><c> of</c><00:40:40.679><c> the</c><00:40:40.800><c> first</c><00:40:40.980><c> month,</c><00:40:41.320><c> Exodus</c><00:40:41.519><c> 12.</c>

00:40:44.139 --> 00:40:48.019
And<00:40:44.500><c> so</c><00:40:44.960><c> they</c><00:40:45.719><c> had</c><00:40:45.920><c> to</c><00:40:46.159><c> take</c><00:40:46.300><c> the</c><00:40:46.619><c> alternate</c><00:40:47.039><c> Passover.</c>

00:40:49.420 --> 00:40:55.039
They<00:40:49.860><c> had</c><00:40:50.039><c> to</c><00:40:50.199><c> do</c><00:40:50.280><c> the</c><00:40:50.559><c> alternate</c><00:40:51.000><c> Passover</c><00:40:51.480><c> and</c><00:40:52.300><c> it</c><00:40:53.619><c> is</c><00:40:53.780><c> so</c><00:40:54.059><c> wonderful</c><00:40:54.420><c> and</c><00:40:54.679><c> wise</c><00:40:54.880><c> of</c>

00:41:01.900 --> 00:41:03.400
Isn't<00:41:01.980><c> that</c><00:41:02.440><c> amazing?</c>

00:41:04.780 --> 00:41:09.900
God<00:41:05.000><c> is</c><00:41:05.199><c> more</c><00:41:05.719><c> flexible,</c><00:41:07.380><c> forgiving,</c><00:41:08.920><c> and</c><00:41:09.139><c> understanding</c><00:41:09.679><c> of</c>

00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:16.460
