00:00:58.820 --> 00:01:04.120
Very<00:00:59.100><c> often</c><00:00:59.600><c> we</c><00:01:00.219><c> lose</c><00:01:00.619><c> sight</c><00:01:00.820><c> of</c><00:01:01.020><c> the</c><00:01:01.159><c> fact</c><00:01:01.359><c> that</c><00:01:01.600><c> we</c><00:01:01.780><c> have</c><00:01:02.000><c> something</c><00:01:02.539><c> that</c><00:01:03.079><c> nobody</c><00:01:03.479><c> on</c>

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:20.299
Right?

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:25.000
If<00:01:20.780><c> you</c><00:01:20.879><c> took</c><00:01:21.060><c> all</c><00:01:21.420><c> the</c><00:01:21.859><c> self</c><00:01:22.280><c>-help</c><00:01:22.680><c> books</c><00:01:23.120><c> in</c><00:01:23.939><c> the</c><00:01:24.120><c> world,</c>

00:01:29.219 --> 00:01:31.939
And<00:01:29.379><c> that's</c><00:01:30.219><c> obvious</c><00:01:30.540><c> to</c><00:01:30.760><c> all</c><00:01:30.920><c> of</c><00:01:31.060><c> us.</c>

00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:35.120

00:01:41.980 --> 00:01:44.400
And<00:01:42.200><c> sometimes</c><00:01:42.519><c> we</c><00:01:42.939><c> just</c><00:01:43.140><c> don't</c><00:01:43.359><c> think</c><00:01:43.579><c> of</c><00:01:43.700><c> these</c><00:01:43.920><c> things,</c><00:01:44.239><c> we</c>

00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:45.739
lose<00:01:44.620><c> sight</c><00:01:44.799><c> of</c><00:01:44.939><c> that.</c>

00:01:45.739 --> 00:01:50.219
And<00:01:46.799><c> sometimes</c><00:01:47.120><c> we</c><00:01:47.359><c> think</c><00:01:47.959><c> that</c><00:01:48.340><c> man's</c><00:01:48.780><c> ways</c><00:01:49.079><c> are</c><00:01:49.700><c> better</c>

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:55.480
Even<00:01:52.280><c> we</c><00:01:52.540><c> think</c><00:01:52.719><c> that,</c><00:01:52.900><c> even</c><00:01:53.079><c> though</c><00:01:53.239><c> we</c><00:01:53.379><c> have</c><00:01:53.599><c> this</c><00:01:54.000><c> great</c><00:01:54.519><c> privilege.</c>

00:01:55.959 --> 00:02:02.359
Well,<00:01:56.099><c> God</c><00:01:56.260><c> makes</c><00:01:56.519><c> this</c><00:01:56.840><c> point</c><00:01:57.480><c> to</c><00:01:58.439><c> Judah</c><00:01:58.939><c> through</c><00:01:59.859><c> both</c><00:02:00.319><c> Isaiah</c><00:02:00.900><c> and</c><00:02:01.540><c> Micah.</c>

that's<00:02:35.659><c> one</c><00:02:35.819><c> of</c><00:02:35.919><c> the</c><00:02:36.080><c> pillars</c><00:02:36.319><c> of</c><00:02:36.560><c> our</c><00:02:36.780><c> society,</c><00:02:37.340><c> that</c><00:02:37.500><c> that</c><00:02:37.780><c> has</c><00:02:37.960><c> a</c>

00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.659
And<00:02:38.800><c> that's</c><00:02:39.500><c> causing</c><00:02:39.860><c> a</c><00:02:39.939><c> lot</c><00:02:40.120><c> of</c><00:02:40.379><c> difficulties</c><00:02:40.919><c> in</c><00:02:41.460><c> our</c><00:02:41.620><c> society.</c>

00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.219

00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:52.819
We<00:02:51.099><c> look</c><00:02:51.300><c> at</c><00:02:51.439><c> Isaiah</c><00:02:51.740><c> chapter</c><00:02:52.139><c> 2.</c>

00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:59.860

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.580
So<00:03:06.960><c> Isaiah</c><00:03:07.240><c> was</c><00:03:07.439><c> saying</c><00:03:07.979><c> that</c><00:03:09.060><c> soon</c><00:03:09.740><c> all</c><00:03:10.479><c> the</c><00:03:10.659><c> nations</c><00:03:10.939><c> are</c><00:03:11.159><c> going</c><00:03:11.280><c> to</c>

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.500
And<00:06:03.319><c> we</c><00:06:03.399><c> know</c><00:06:03.560><c> ultimately</c><00:06:04.019><c> they</c><00:06:04.259><c> do</c><00:06:04.519><c> refer</c><00:06:04.819><c> to</c><00:06:05.540><c> the</c><00:06:05.860><c> return</c><00:06:06.079><c> of</c><00:06:06.259><c> Christ,</c>

00:06:27.500 --> 00:06:29.939
He<00:06:27.639><c> gave</c><00:06:27.879><c> them</c><00:06:28.139><c> a</c><00:06:28.339><c> part</c><00:06:28.660><c> in</c><00:06:29.019><c> the</c><00:06:29.160><c> vision.</c>

00:06:30.540 --> 00:06:34.339
He<00:06:30.939><c> built</c><00:06:31.279><c> an</c><00:06:31.620><c> urgency</c><00:06:32.079><c> to</c><00:06:32.439><c> act</c><00:06:32.800><c> in</c><00:06:33.139><c> them</c><00:06:33.300><c> by</c><00:06:33.600><c> explaining</c><00:06:34.079><c> the</c>

00:06:36.379 --> 00:06:38.800
He<00:06:36.899><c> inspired</c><00:06:37.240><c> them</c><00:06:37.560><c> with</c><00:06:37.819><c> scriptures.</c>

00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.779
And<00:06:39.439><c> when</c><00:06:39.519><c> he</c><00:06:39.579><c> did</c><00:06:39.699><c> this,</c><00:06:40.040><c> the</c><00:06:40.120><c> vision</c><00:06:40.360><c> spread</c><00:06:40.939><c> and</c><00:06:41.379><c> spread.</c>

So<00:07:30.399><c> 2</c><00:07:30.639><c> Chronicles</c><00:07:31.079><c> 30,</c><00:07:33.699><c> and</c><00:07:33.939><c> we</c><00:07:34.000><c> look</c><00:07:34.139><c> at</c><00:07:34.319><c> the</c><00:07:34.560><c> very</c><00:07:34.779><c> first</c><00:07:35.019><c> verse.</c>

00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:35.579
So<00:07:35.300><c> it</c><00:07:35.300><c> says,</c>

00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:52.420
So<00:07:35.920><c> Hezekiah</c><00:07:50.439><c> decides</c><00:07:50.899><c> what</c><00:07:51.639><c> we're</c><00:07:51.800><c> going</c><00:07:51.959><c> to</c><00:07:52.100><c> do</c><00:07:52.199><c> is</c><00:07:52.360><c> we're</c>

00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.199

00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:06.740
So<00:08:03.620><c> why</c><00:08:04.600><c> would</c><00:08:04.759><c> you</c><00:08:04.860><c> think</c><00:08:04.959><c> he</c><00:08:05.079><c> would</c><00:08:05.319><c> want</c><00:08:05.459><c> to</c><00:08:05.720><c> keep</c><00:08:06.199><c> the</c>

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:14.720
Why<00:08:11.300><c> do</c><00:08:11.500><c> you</c><00:08:11.519><c> think</c><00:08:11.620><c> his</c><00:08:11.899><c> focus</c><00:08:12.240><c> was</c><00:08:12.639><c> on</c><00:08:13.379><c> the</c><00:08:13.860><c> Passover?</c>

00:08:15.379 --> 00:08:18.120
And<00:08:15.540><c> I</c><00:08:15.620><c> guess</c><00:08:15.980><c> they</c><00:08:16.240><c> were</c><00:08:16.439><c> already</c><00:08:16.699><c> a</c><00:08:16.839><c> couple</c><00:08:16.980><c> days</c><00:08:17.259><c> late</c><00:08:17.759><c> for</c>

Pentecost,<00:08:23.040><c> right?</c>

00:08:23.259 --> 00:08:25.779
Let's<00:08:23.459><c> go</c><00:08:23.600><c> to</c><00:08:23.740><c> the</c><00:08:23.879><c> next</c><00:08:24.180><c> feast,</c><00:08:24.439><c> and</c><00:08:24.560><c> let's</c><00:08:24.819><c> use</c><00:08:25.019><c> that</c><00:08:25.319><c> as</c><00:08:25.579><c> the</c>

00:08:28.259 --> 00:08:31.560
Why<00:08:28.540><c> do</c><00:08:28.699><c> you</c><00:08:28.800><c> think</c><00:08:28.899><c> he</c><00:08:29.199><c> wanted</c><00:08:29.439><c> to</c><00:08:29.720><c> keep</c><00:08:30.220><c> the</c><00:08:30.680><c> Passover?</c>

00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:35.860
Interesting,<00:08:35.620><c> right?</c>

00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.139
Well,<00:08:36.179><c> the</c><00:08:36.399><c> Passover</c><00:08:36.639><c> was</c><00:08:36.899><c> the</c><00:08:37.100><c> most</c><00:08:37.360><c> important</c><00:08:37.820><c> of</c><00:08:38.080><c> all</c><00:08:38.419><c> the</c><00:08:38.620><c> feasts.</c>

the<00:10:02.320><c> children</c><00:10:02.620><c> would</c><00:10:02.860><c> ask,</c>

00:10:04.259 --> 00:10:06.519
What<00:10:04.379><c> mean</c><00:10:04.759><c> ye</c><00:10:05.019><c> by</c><00:10:05.279><c> this</c><00:10:05.500><c> service?</c>

00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.100
What<00:10:06.779><c> is</c><00:10:07.000><c> this</c><00:10:07.360><c> all</c><00:10:07.679><c> about?</c>

00:10:08.580 --> 00:10:11.320
And<00:10:08.720><c> so</c><00:10:08.799><c> what</c><00:10:08.919><c> would</c><00:10:09.100><c> the</c><00:10:09.220><c> topic</c><00:10:09.639><c> of</c><00:10:10.500><c> that</c><00:10:11.019><c> week</c>

00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:14.340
that<00:10:11.480><c> they</c><00:10:11.679><c> spent</c><00:10:11.899><c> together</c><00:10:12.259><c> at</c><00:10:12.419><c> the</c><00:10:12.580><c> feast</c><00:10:12.779><c> be</c><00:10:13.159><c> all</c><00:10:13.500><c> about?</c>

00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.279
It<00:10:15.500><c> would</c><00:10:15.659><c> be</c><00:10:15.840><c> about</c><00:10:16.059><c> the</c><00:10:16.259><c> sacrifice</c><00:10:16.720><c> of</c><00:10:16.960><c> Christ.</c>

00:10:17.659 --> 00:10:19.419
It<00:10:17.860><c> would</c><00:10:18.039><c> be</c><00:10:18.259><c> about</c><00:10:18.519><c> deliverance</c><00:10:18.940><c> from</c><00:10:19.139><c> Egypt.</c>

00:10:19.659 --> 00:10:21.460
It<00:10:19.799><c> would</c><00:10:20.000><c> be</c><00:10:20.200><c> about</c><00:10:20.519><c> taking</c><00:10:20.860><c> the</c><00:10:21.139><c> blood</c>

00:10:23.259 --> 00:10:27.080
to<00:10:24.120><c> signify</c><00:10:24.620><c> that</c><00:10:24.919><c> you</c><00:10:25.399><c> were</c><00:10:25.740><c> a</c><00:10:25.860><c> part</c><00:10:26.000><c> of</c><00:10:26.179><c> God's</c><00:10:26.580><c> house,</c>

00:10:27.460 --> 00:10:29.759
and<00:10:27.620><c> you</c><00:10:27.759><c> were</c><00:10:27.960><c> not</c><00:10:28.159><c> a</c><00:10:28.240><c> part</c><00:10:28.600><c> of</c><00:10:28.779><c> the</c><00:10:28.940><c> house</c><00:10:29.179><c> of</c><00:10:29.460><c> Egypt,</c>

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.000
the<00:10:30.539><c> house</c><00:10:30.840><c> of</c><00:10:31.000><c> Egypt</c><00:10:31.200><c> that</c><00:10:31.340><c> was</c><00:10:31.539><c> going</c><00:10:31.720><c> to</c><00:10:31.879><c> be</c><00:10:32.000><c> destroyed.</c>

00:10:33.340 --> 00:10:37.179
And<00:10:33.419><c> so</c><00:10:33.539><c> God</c><00:10:33.779><c> was</c><00:10:34.820><c> trying</c><00:10:35.259><c> to</c><00:10:35.500><c> illustrate</c><00:10:35.899><c> that</c><00:10:36.159><c> to</c><00:10:36.340><c> them.</c>

00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:38.960
But<00:10:37.559><c> you</c><00:10:37.659><c> know</c><00:10:37.720><c> what</c><00:10:37.759><c> else</c><00:10:37.960><c> he</c><00:10:38.059><c> was</c><00:10:38.259><c> doing?</c>

00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:43.919
He<00:10:39.539><c> was</c><00:10:39.759><c> making</c><00:10:40.059><c> the</c><00:10:40.399><c> Passover</c><00:10:40.799><c> into</c><00:10:41.419><c> a</c><00:10:41.759><c> Bible</c><00:10:42.059><c> school,</c><00:10:43.639><c> right?</c>

00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.419
He<00:10:44.139><c> was</c><00:10:44.340><c> making</c><00:10:44.620><c> it</c><00:10:44.820><c> into</c><00:10:45.000><c> a</c><00:10:45.240><c> week,</c>

00:10:45.500 --> 00:10:48.399
just<00:10:45.720><c> like</c><00:10:46.000><c> we</c><00:10:46.639><c> have</c><00:10:46.879><c> here</c><00:10:47.419><c> right</c><00:10:47.879><c> now,</c>

00:10:48.700 --> 00:10:49.899
where<00:10:48.860><c> they</c><00:10:48.980><c> would</c><00:10:49.179><c> come</c><00:10:49.399><c> together</c>

00:10:49.899 --> 00:10:53.440
and<00:10:50.259><c> they</c><00:10:50.419><c> would</c><00:10:50.700><c> focus</c><00:10:51.259><c> probably</c><00:10:52.039><c> in</c><00:10:52.759><c> rooms</c><00:10:52.919><c> like</c><00:10:53.240><c> this</c>

00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:55.419
or<00:10:54.279><c> tents</c><00:10:54.580><c> like</c><00:10:54.919><c> this,</c>

00:10:55.779 --> 00:10:58.139
and<00:10:55.940><c> they</c><00:10:56.059><c> would</c><00:10:56.320><c> focus</c><00:10:56.740><c> on</c><00:10:57.039><c> the</c><00:10:57.340><c> different</c><00:10:57.559><c> attributes</c>

00:10:58.139 --> 00:10:59.759
of<00:10:58.700><c> the</c><00:10:58.919><c> Passover.</c>

00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.779
And<00:11:00.120><c> so</c><00:11:00.299><c> Hezekiah</c><00:11:00.779><c> saw</c><00:11:01.019><c> this</c><00:11:01.200><c> as</c><00:11:01.340><c> this</c><00:11:01.519><c> is</c><00:11:01.759><c> the</c><00:11:02.019><c> exact</c><00:11:02.820><c> perfect</c><00:11:03.500><c> thing</c>

00:11:03.779 --> 00:11:06.960
for<00:11:03.960><c> us</c><00:11:04.159><c> to</c><00:11:04.360><c> do</c><00:11:04.860><c> based</c><00:11:05.259><c> upon</c><00:11:05.580><c> our</c><00:11:05.879><c> circumstances.</c>

00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:08.179
What<00:11:07.740><c> else</c><00:11:07.879><c> did</c><00:11:08.000><c> they</c><00:11:08.139><c> do?</c>

00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.799
What<00:11:08.379><c> other</c><00:11:08.620><c> feast</c><00:11:08.879><c> was</c><00:11:09.320><c> tied</c><00:11:09.580><c> up</c><00:11:09.820><c> right</c><00:11:10.080><c> with</c>

00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.279
the<00:11:10.980><c> feast</c><00:11:11.120><c> of</c><00:11:11.279><c> the</c><00:11:11.460><c> Passover?</c>

00:11:13.419 --> 00:11:14.580
The<00:11:13.539><c> unleavened</c><00:11:13.980><c> bread,</c><00:11:14.100><c> right?</c>

00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.200
Okay,<00:11:15.580><c> so</c><00:11:15.779><c> now</c><00:11:15.940><c> you've</c><00:11:16.240><c> got</c><00:11:16.399><c> the</c><00:11:16.720><c> Passover,</c>

00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.980
and<00:11:17.639><c> then</c><00:11:17.779><c> you</c><00:11:17.899><c> had</c><00:11:18.100><c> the</c><00:11:18.340><c> seven</c><00:11:18.519><c> days</c><00:11:18.820><c> without</c><00:11:19.240><c> leaven.</c>

00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.259
So<00:11:20.500><c> there</c><00:11:20.659><c> was</c><00:11:20.860><c> also</c><00:11:21.080><c> the</c><00:11:21.460><c> removal</c><00:11:21.759><c> of</c><00:11:22.159><c> the</c><00:11:22.399><c> things</c><00:11:22.600><c> of</c><00:11:22.779><c> the</c><00:11:22.980><c> world.</c>

00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:25.940
So<00:11:23.899><c> again,</c><00:11:24.100><c> we</c><00:11:24.200><c> have</c><00:11:24.360><c> a</c><00:11:24.519><c> picture</c><00:11:24.720><c> of</c><00:11:25.120><c> a</c><00:11:25.259><c> Bible</c><00:11:25.559><c> school,</c>

00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:27.320
a<00:11:26.600><c> time</c><00:11:26.779><c> of</c><00:11:27.039><c> learning,</c>

00:11:27.620 --> 00:11:31.159
a<00:11:27.799><c> time</c><00:11:27.960><c> where</c><00:11:28.120><c> the</c><00:11:28.360><c> world</c><00:11:28.559><c> was</c><00:11:28.899><c> totally</c><00:11:29.360><c> removed,</c><00:11:30.779><c> right?</c>

00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:32.580
And<00:11:31.539><c> the</c><00:11:31.679><c> people</c><00:11:31.840><c> came</c><00:11:32.139><c> together,</c>

00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:35.600
and<00:11:33.039><c> they</c><00:11:33.159><c> were</c><00:11:33.360><c> able</c><00:11:33.559><c> to</c><00:11:33.779><c> then</c><00:11:34.080><c> study</c><00:11:34.320><c> the</c><00:11:34.519><c> Word</c><00:11:34.620><c> of</c><00:11:34.840><c> God.</c>

00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:38.279
So<00:11:36.059><c> it</c><00:11:36.120><c> was</c><00:11:36.340><c> perfect</c><00:11:36.580><c> timing</c><00:11:36.899><c> then</c><00:11:37.279><c> for</c><00:11:37.759><c> the</c><00:11:37.980><c> Passover,</c>

00:11:38.539 --> 00:11:40.580
at<00:11:38.600><c> least</c><00:11:38.980><c> almost</c><00:11:39.299><c> perfect</c><00:11:39.639><c> timing,</c><00:11:40.200><c> I</c><00:11:40.340><c> guess,</c>

00:11:40.580 --> 00:11:42.340
and<00:11:40.740><c> we'll</c><00:11:40.820><c> look</c><00:11:41.000><c> at</c><00:11:41.039><c> that</c><00:11:41.240><c> in</c><00:11:41.320><c> just</c><00:11:41.500><c> a</c><00:11:41.639><c> minute.</c>

00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:44.320
So<00:11:43.000><c> Hezekiah</c><00:11:43.440><c> then,</c>

00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:48.080
he<00:11:44.620><c> decides</c><00:11:44.960><c> he's</c><00:11:45.200><c> going</c><00:11:45.340><c> to</c><00:11:45.679><c> continue</c><00:11:46.019><c> to</c><00:11:46.440><c> spread</c><00:11:46.740><c> the</c><00:11:47.039><c> vision</c>

00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:50.480
beyond<00:11:49.059><c> Jerusalem</c><00:11:49.559><c> and</c><00:11:49.860><c> beyond</c><00:11:50.240><c> Judah,</c>

00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.240
which<00:11:50.720><c> he</c><00:11:50.879><c> had</c><00:11:51.000><c> already</c><00:11:51.259><c> influenced.</c>

00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:54.320
And<00:11:52.679><c> so</c><00:11:52.740><c> what</c><00:11:52.820><c> he</c><00:11:53.000><c> decides</c><00:11:53.220><c> he's</c><00:11:53.379><c> going</c><00:11:53.580><c> to</c><00:11:53.720><c> do,</c><00:11:54.019><c> first</c><00:11:54.080><c> of</c><00:11:54.220><c> all,</c>

00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:59.360
is<00:11:54.460><c> to</c><00:11:54.639><c> invite</c><00:11:54.860><c> Judah</c><00:11:55.460><c> and</c><00:11:56.240><c> Israel</c><00:11:56.700><c> to</c><00:11:56.980><c> a</c><00:11:57.240><c> Passover</c><00:11:57.620><c> at</c><00:11:58.320><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:11:59.500 --> 00:12:02.220
And<00:11:59.659><c> the</c><00:11:59.759><c> reason</c><00:11:59.919><c> he</c><00:12:00.120><c> wanted</c><00:12:00.279><c> to</c><00:12:00.480><c> do</c><00:12:00.539><c> this</c><00:12:00.759><c> was</c><00:12:00.960><c> he</c><00:12:01.179><c> wanted</c><00:12:01.539><c> to</c>

00:12:02.220 --> 00:12:03.659
educate<00:12:02.720><c> them.</c>

00:12:03.899 --> 00:12:07.399
So<00:12:04.059><c> there</c><00:12:04.460><c> was</c><00:12:04.639><c> an</c><00:12:04.899><c> enthusiasm</c><00:12:05.399><c> that</c><00:12:05.600><c> was</c><00:12:05.779><c> building</c><00:12:06.240><c> in</c><00:12:06.740><c> Judah</c><00:12:06.899><c> already,</c>

00:12:07.820 --> 00:12:11.559
and<00:12:08.059><c> that</c><00:12:08.320><c> enthusiasm</c><00:12:08.879><c> was</c><00:12:09.320><c> largely</c><00:12:09.899><c> emotional</c><00:12:10.779><c> to</c><00:12:11.360><c> start</c>

00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:12.000
out<00:12:11.799><c> with.</c>

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:15.100
And<00:12:12.740><c> so</c><00:12:12.899><c> what</c><00:12:13.240><c> Hezekiah</c><00:12:13.720><c> decided</c><00:12:14.080><c> that</c><00:12:14.360><c> had</c><00:12:14.500><c> to</c><00:12:14.779><c> happen</c>

00:12:15.100 --> 00:12:18.480
was<00:12:15.500><c> he</c><00:12:15.620><c> had</c><00:12:15.820><c> to</c><00:12:16.100><c> build</c><00:12:16.299><c> some</c><00:12:16.779><c> intellectual</c><00:12:17.679><c> understanding</c>

00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:19.379
on<00:12:18.759><c> top</c><00:12:18.879><c> of</c><00:12:19.059><c> that.</c>

00:12:19.659 --> 00:12:21.200
And<00:12:19.840><c> so</c><00:12:19.940><c> the</c><00:12:20.159><c> Passover,</c><00:12:20.460><c> again,</c><00:12:20.740><c> would</c><00:12:20.860><c> have</c><00:12:20.960><c> been</c><00:12:21.120><c> the</c>

00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:22.360
perfect<00:12:21.419><c> choice.</c>

00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:24.940
So<00:12:23.240><c> we</c><00:12:23.480><c> come</c><00:12:23.600><c> down</c><00:12:23.759><c> to</c><00:12:23.860><c> verse</c><00:12:24.039><c> 2.</c>

00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:26.720
2<00:12:25.399><c> Chronicles</c><00:12:25.820><c> 30,</c><00:12:26.139><c> verse</c><00:12:26.299><c> 2,</c><00:12:26.460><c> it</c><00:12:26.600><c> says,</c>

00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.679
For<00:12:26.879><c> the</c><00:12:27.059><c> king</c><00:12:27.740><c> had</c><00:12:28.139><c> taken</c><00:12:28.419><c> counsel</c><00:12:29.019><c> and</c><00:12:29.960><c> his</c><00:12:30.200><c> princes</c>

00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.120
and<00:12:31.279><c> all</c><00:12:31.679><c> the</c><00:12:31.940><c> congregation</c><00:12:32.419><c> in</c><00:12:32.620><c> Jerusalem</c>

00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.299
to<00:12:33.879><c> keep</c><00:12:34.179><c> the</c><00:12:34.519><c> Passover</c><00:12:35.019><c> in</c><00:12:35.860><c> the</c><00:12:36.059><c> second</c><00:12:36.460><c> month.</c>

00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.179
So<00:12:38.200><c> this</c><00:12:38.340><c> is</c><00:12:38.539><c> an</c><00:12:38.919><c> interesting</c><00:12:39.299><c> story</c><00:12:39.600><c> for</c><00:12:39.779><c> us,</c><00:12:39.940><c> I</c><00:12:40.059><c> think.</c>

00:12:40.179 --> 00:12:44.200
So<00:12:40.360><c> they</c><00:12:40.980><c> sat</c><00:12:41.279><c> down,</c><00:12:42.480><c> the</c><00:12:42.600><c> leaders</c><00:12:42.860><c> with</c><00:12:43.120><c> Hezekiah,</c>

00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.059
and<00:12:45.320><c> they</c><00:12:45.799><c> took</c><00:12:45.980><c> counsel.</c>

00:12:47.820 --> 00:12:50.639
The<00:12:47.879><c> word</c><00:12:48.080><c> counsel</c><00:12:48.480><c> there</c><00:12:48.720><c> means</c><00:12:49.000><c> to</c><00:12:49.220><c> take</c><00:12:49.580><c> advice.</c>

00:12:51.179 --> 00:12:55.220
So<00:12:51.340><c> Hezekiah</c><00:12:51.940><c> gets</c><00:12:52.320><c> advice</c><00:12:52.840><c> from</c><00:12:53.700><c> the</c><00:12:54.559><c> other</c><00:12:54.799><c> leaders</c>

00:12:55.220 --> 00:12:56.960
about<00:12:56.000><c> what</c><00:12:56.159><c> they</c><00:12:56.340><c> should</c><00:12:56.500><c> do.</c>

00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.940
And<00:12:57.519><c> they</c><00:12:57.620><c> have</c><00:12:57.720><c> this</c><00:12:57.919><c> idea</c><00:12:58.159><c> about</c><00:12:58.460><c> keeping</c><00:12:58.779><c> the</c><00:12:59.059><c> Passover.</c>

00:13:00.019 --> 00:13:04.440
And<00:13:00.120><c> to</c><00:13:00.220><c> get</c><00:13:00.320><c> the</c><00:13:00.600><c> Passover</c><00:13:01.019><c> Bible</c><00:13:01.419><c> school,</c><00:13:01.860><c> if</c><00:13:02.139><c> you</c><00:13:02.360><c> will,</c><00:13:03.259><c> started</c><00:13:03.379><c> up</c><00:13:03.639><c> again.</c>

00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:06.320
And<00:13:05.460><c> in</c><00:13:05.559><c> the</c><00:13:05.559><c> third</c><00:13:05.740><c> verse</c><00:13:05.960><c> it</c><00:13:06.039><c> says,</c>

00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:09.340
For<00:13:06.500><c> they</c><00:13:06.639><c> could</c><00:13:06.879><c> not</c><00:13:07.120><c> keep</c><00:13:07.360><c> it</c><00:13:07.700><c> at</c><00:13:07.899><c> that</c><00:13:08.259><c> time,</c>

00:13:09.460 --> 00:13:14.259
because<00:13:09.639><c> the</c><00:13:09.940><c> priests</c><00:13:10.379><c> had</c><00:13:10.740><c> not</c><00:13:11.120><c> sanctified</c><00:13:11.679><c> themselves</c><00:13:12.679><c> sufficiently.</c>

00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:16.320
So,<00:13:14.740><c> of</c><00:13:14.860><c> course,</c><00:13:15.000><c> what</c><00:13:15.120><c> he's</c><00:13:15.299><c> telling</c><00:13:15.500><c> us</c><00:13:15.740><c> here</c><00:13:15.899><c> is</c><00:13:16.059><c> that,</c>

00:13:16.379 --> 00:13:18.840
you<00:13:16.519><c> remember</c><00:13:16.759><c> yesterday</c><00:13:17.100><c> we</c><00:13:17.299><c> looked</c><00:13:17.500><c> at</c><00:13:17.639><c> how</c><00:13:17.820><c> the</c><00:13:18.019><c> priests</c>

00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:21.220
cleaned<00:13:19.519><c> the</c><00:13:19.940><c> temple</c><00:13:20.259><c> part</c>

00:13:21.059 --> 00:13:25.220
and<00:13:21.360><c> the</c><00:13:21.519><c> Levites</c><00:13:21.879><c> cleaned</c><00:13:22.580><c> the</c><00:13:23.460><c> area</c><00:13:23.740><c> outside</c><00:13:24.240><c> the</c><00:13:24.480><c> temple.</c>

00:13:25.460 --> 00:13:29.960
Well,<00:13:25.879><c> the</c><00:13:26.059><c> priests</c><00:13:26.220><c> hadn't</c><00:13:26.620><c> sanctified</c><00:13:27.299><c> themselves</c><00:13:28.320><c> quickly</c><00:13:29.120><c> enough</c>

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:34.600
or<00:13:30.720><c> in</c><00:13:31.019><c> enough</c><00:13:31.200><c> numbers</c><00:13:31.700><c> to</c><00:13:32.200><c> get</c><00:13:32.379><c> the</c><00:13:32.620><c> temple</c><00:13:32.960><c> cleaned</c><00:13:33.500><c> on</c><00:13:34.120><c> time</c>

00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:37.200
for<00:13:35.019><c> the</c><00:13:35.299><c> Passover</c><00:13:35.659><c> to</c><00:13:35.919><c> have</c><00:13:36.100><c> been</c><00:13:36.360><c> kept.</c>

00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:41.120
So<00:13:38.279><c> the</c><00:13:38.720><c> problem</c><00:13:38.940><c> they</c><00:13:39.139><c> ran</c><00:13:39.360><c> into</c><00:13:39.559><c> then</c><00:13:39.779><c> was</c><00:13:39.960><c> that</c><00:13:40.200><c> they</c><00:13:40.559><c> couldn't</c><00:13:40.899><c> keep</c>

00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:41.779
the<00:13:41.419><c> Passover</c>

00:13:41.779 --> 00:13:44.620
because<00:13:42.240><c> it</c><00:13:42.340><c> was</c><00:13:42.500><c> now</c><00:13:42.720><c> the</c><00:13:42.960><c> 16th</c><00:13:43.740><c> of</c><00:13:43.860><c> the</c><00:13:44.000><c> first</c><00:13:44.240><c> month</c>

00:13:44.620 --> 00:13:47.120
instead<00:13:45.139><c> of</c><00:13:45.299><c> the</c><00:13:45.419><c> 14th</c><00:13:45.860><c> of</c><00:13:46.000><c> the</c><00:13:46.120><c> first</c><00:13:46.340><c> month.</c>

00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:48.759
Well,<00:13:47.519><c> he</c><00:13:47.639><c> gives</c><00:13:47.759><c> us</c><00:13:47.960><c> another</c><00:13:48.200><c> problem</c><00:13:48.559><c> here.</c>

00:13:48.820 --> 00:13:51.200
He<00:13:48.860><c> says,</c><00:13:49.480><c> Neither</c><00:13:49.679><c> had</c><00:13:49.879><c> the</c><00:13:50.080><c> people</c><00:13:50.299><c> gathered</c><00:13:50.659><c> themselves</c>

00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.340
together<00:13:51.799><c> to</c><00:13:52.360><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:56.399
So<00:13:54.000><c> it</c><00:13:54.240><c> seems</c><00:13:54.419><c> like</c><00:13:54.620><c> it</c><00:13:54.679><c> was</c><00:13:54.840><c> Hezekiah's</c><00:13:55.519><c> intent,</c><00:13:55.879><c> his</c><00:13:56.100><c> goal</c>

00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.340
to<00:13:56.679><c> hold</c><00:13:57.139><c> the</c><00:13:57.500><c> Passover,</c>

00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:00.820
but<00:13:58.899><c> they</c><00:13:59.220><c> couldn't</c><00:13:59.460><c> do</c><00:13:59.679><c> it</c><00:13:59.879><c> because</c><00:14:00.059><c> they</c><00:14:00.240><c> just</c><00:14:00.460><c> didn't</c><00:14:00.620><c> get</c>

00:14:00.820 --> 00:14:02.299
things<00:14:01.080><c> done</c><00:14:01.419><c> quickly</c><00:14:01.820><c> enough</c>

00:14:02.299 --> 00:14:05.700
because<00:14:03.120><c> the</c><00:14:03.980><c> priests</c><00:14:04.340><c> hadn't</c><00:14:04.639><c> sanctified</c><00:14:05.159><c> themselves</c>

00:14:05.700 --> 00:14:08.659
and<00:14:06.259><c> because</c><00:14:06.480><c> the</c><00:14:06.639><c> people</c><00:14:06.779><c> couldn't</c><00:14:07.100><c> travel</c><00:14:07.500><c> far</c><00:14:07.759><c> enough.</c>

00:14:09.740 --> 00:14:12.019
So<00:14:09.940><c> they</c><00:14:10.039><c> were</c><00:14:10.159><c> going</c><00:14:10.259><c> to</c><00:14:10.299><c> have</c><00:14:10.500><c> to</c><00:14:10.679><c> keep</c><00:14:11.100><c> the</c><00:14:11.460><c> Passover</c><00:14:11.759><c> then</c>

00:14:12.019 --> 00:14:13.259
in<00:14:12.200><c> the</c><00:14:12.320><c> second</c><00:14:12.500><c> month.</c>

00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.059
Now,<00:14:14.320><c> there</c><00:14:14.440><c> was</c><00:14:14.600><c> a</c><00:14:14.759><c> provision</c><00:14:15.000><c> for</c><00:14:15.240><c> this.</c>

00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:22.139
You<00:14:16.620><c> remember</c><00:14:16.899><c> the</c><00:14:17.100><c> provision</c><00:14:17.399><c> in</c><00:14:18.600><c> Numbers</c><00:14:20.039><c> 10,</c><00:14:21.279><c> verses</c><00:14:21.659><c> 10</c>

00:14:22.139 --> 00:14:22.639
and<00:14:22.299><c> 11.</c>

00:14:22.940 --> 00:14:26.860
We<00:14:23.200><c> have</c><00:14:23.379><c> the</c><00:14:23.620><c> provision</c><00:14:24.100><c> for</c><00:14:25.419><c> keeping</c><00:14:25.779><c> the</c><00:14:26.039><c> Passover</c><00:14:26.399><c> in</c><00:14:26.679><c> the</c>

00:14:26.860 --> 00:14:27.940
second<00:14:27.080><c> month.</c>

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:29.899
It<00:14:28.120><c> says,</c><00:14:28.580><c> Speak</c><00:14:28.600><c> to</c><00:14:28.779><c> the</c><00:14:28.899><c> children</c><00:14:29.159><c> of</c><00:14:29.279><c> Israel,</c><00:14:29.580><c> saying,</c>

So<00:14:37.620><c> here</c><00:14:37.759><c> was</c><00:14:37.919><c> the</c><00:14:38.120><c> first</c><00:14:38.399><c> reason</c><00:14:38.679><c> that</c><00:14:38.840><c> you</c><00:14:38.940><c> could</c><00:14:39.120><c> keep</c><00:14:39.320><c> the</c>

00:14:46.379 --> 00:14:49.000

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:54.919
The<00:14:53.379><c> priests</c><00:14:53.600><c> hadn't</c><00:14:53.879><c> sanctified</c><00:14:54.460><c> themselves.</c>

00:14:55.019 --> 00:14:55.759
They<00:14:55.159><c> weren't</c><00:14:55.340><c> clean.</c>

00:14:55.759 --> 00:15:00.179
And<00:14:56.120><c> the</c><00:14:56.279><c> second</c><00:14:56.559><c> reason</c><00:14:56.919><c> was</c><00:14:57.519><c> that</c><00:14:58.179><c> they</c><00:14:59.379><c> had</c><00:14:59.559><c> to</c><00:14:59.779><c> travel</c><00:15:00.019><c> in</c>

00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.519
So<00:15:01.460><c> they</c><00:15:01.580><c> were</c><00:15:01.740><c> able</c><00:15:01.860><c> to</c><00:15:02.019><c> keep</c><00:15:02.120><c> it</c><00:15:02.240><c> in</c><00:15:02.379><c> the</c><00:15:02.539><c> 14th</c><00:15:03.000><c> day</c><00:15:03.139><c> of</c><00:15:03.279><c> the</c>

second<00:15:03.740><c> month</c>

00:15:03.940 --> 00:15:06.179
that<00:15:04.240><c> even</c><00:15:04.480><c> they</c><00:15:05.019><c> were</c><00:15:05.179><c> able</c><00:15:05.299><c> to</c><00:15:05.480><c> keep</c><00:15:05.639><c> it</c>

00:15:06.179 --> 00:15:09.059

00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.580
So<00:15:09.399><c> it's</c><00:15:09.580><c> a</c><00:15:09.720><c> curious</c><00:15:09.960><c> thing</c><00:15:10.200><c> that</c><00:15:10.580><c> both</c><00:15:11.039><c> exceptions</c><00:15:11.860><c> that</c><00:15:12.460><c> were</c><00:15:12.659><c> allowed</c><00:15:12.860><c> by</c><00:15:13.220><c> law</c>

00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.639
And<00:15:15.919><c> they</c><00:15:16.039><c> had</c><00:15:16.139><c> to</c><00:15:17.279><c> follow</c><00:15:17.539><c> this</c><00:15:17.799><c> rule.</c>

00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.940
So<00:15:20.080><c> having</c><00:15:20.519><c> this</c><00:15:21.580><c> Passover</c><00:15:21.980><c> in</c><00:15:22.200><c> the</c><00:15:22.419><c> second</c><00:15:22.700><c> month</c>

00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.899

00:15:33.460 --> 00:15:36.360
it<00:15:33.700><c> would</c><00:15:33.840><c> have</c><00:15:33.899><c> been</c><00:15:34.120><c> impossible</c><00:15:34.700><c> to</c><00:15:35.080><c> invite</c><00:15:35.559><c> anybody</c><00:15:36.100><c> from</c>

00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:46.659
the<00:15:45.899><c> possibility</c>

00:15:46.659 --> 00:15:51.740

They're<00:16:23.860><c> the</c><00:16:23.960><c> ones</c><00:16:24.059><c> that</c><00:16:24.379><c> killed</c><00:16:25.080><c> my</c><00:16:25.700><c> brother.</c>

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:31.539
They're<00:16:28.659><c> the</c><00:16:28.779><c> ones</c><00:16:28.899><c> that</c><00:16:29.179><c> took</c><00:16:29.460><c> the</c><00:16:29.820><c> 200</c><00:16:30.100><c>,000</c><00:16:30.580><c> captive.</c>

00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:37.100
They're<00:16:32.659><c> the</c><00:16:32.740><c> ones</c><00:16:32.860><c> that</c><00:16:33.179><c> tried</c><00:16:33.360><c> to</c><00:16:33.899><c> exterminate</c><00:16:35.440><c> my</c><00:16:36.000><c> father,</c><00:16:36.879><c> right?</c>

00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:38.940

00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.720
Why<00:16:52.740><c> would</c><00:16:52.879><c> you</c><00:16:53.080><c> want</c><00:16:53.179><c> to</c><00:16:53.399><c> invite</c><00:16:53.919><c> those</c><00:16:54.419><c> guys</c><00:16:54.700><c> that</c><00:16:54.879><c> have</c><00:16:55.019><c> done</c><00:16:55.200><c> that</c><00:16:55.500><c> to</c><00:16:55.720><c> us?</c>

00:16:56.860 --> 00:16:59.539
That<00:16:57.100><c> was</c><00:16:57.259><c> only</c><00:16:57.480><c> a</c><00:16:57.659><c> few</c><00:16:57.779><c> years</c><00:16:58.039><c> ago</c><00:16:58.259><c> that</c><00:16:58.379><c> they</c><00:16:58.539><c> did</c><00:16:58.740><c> that.</c>

00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.019
You<00:16:59.919><c> think</c><00:17:00.000><c> we</c><00:17:00.120><c> should</c><00:17:00.340><c> invite</c><00:17:00.639><c> them</c><00:17:00.840><c> to</c><00:17:01.000><c> the</c><00:17:01.200><c> Passover?</c>

00:17:03.620 --> 00:17:06.000
Would<00:17:04.380><c> you</c><00:17:04.660><c> have</c><00:17:05.039><c> done</c><00:17:05.220><c> like</c><00:17:05.480><c> Hezekiah</c>

00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:10.039
and<00:17:07.160><c> invited</c><00:17:07.460><c> them</c><00:17:08.200><c> to</c><00:17:09.000><c> the</c><00:17:09.200><c> Passover?</c>

00:17:11.339 --> 00:17:12.619
But<00:17:11.619><c> he</c><00:17:11.740><c> does.</c>

00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:15.940
We<00:17:13.660><c> see</c><00:17:13.759><c> the</c><00:17:14.079><c> compassion,</c><00:17:14.480><c> I</c><00:17:14.619><c> think,</c><00:17:15.000><c> of</c><00:17:15.259><c> Hezekiah.</c>

00:17:16.299 --> 00:17:19.460
He<00:17:16.299><c> wants</c><00:17:16.700><c> to</c><00:17:17.640><c> further</c><00:17:18.140><c> God's</c><00:17:18.980><c> work,</c>

00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.640
and<00:17:20.099><c> he's</c><00:17:20.440><c> willing</c><00:17:20.740><c> because</c><00:17:21.200><c> he</c><00:17:21.579><c> recognizes</c><00:17:22.000><c> how</c><00:17:22.440><c> wicked</c><00:17:22.740><c> Judah</c><00:17:23.039><c> had</c><00:17:23.299><c> been.</c>

00:17:24.019 --> 00:17:29.400
He's<00:17:24.160><c> willing</c><00:17:24.339><c> to</c><00:17:24.740><c> include</c><00:17:25.420><c> Israel</c><00:17:26.480><c> in</c><00:17:27.259><c> the</c><00:17:27.519><c> call</c><00:17:27.900><c> as</c><00:17:28.440><c> well</c><00:17:28.680><c> as</c><00:17:29.119><c> Judah.</c>

00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:33.759
And<00:17:30.359><c> we</c><00:17:30.500><c> just</c><00:17:31.039><c> are</c><00:17:31.299><c> amazed,</c><00:17:31.680><c> I</c><00:17:31.819><c> think,</c><00:17:31.980><c> at</c><00:17:32.119><c> the</c><00:17:32.299><c> compassion</c><00:17:32.619><c> that</c><00:17:32.779><c> he</c><00:17:32.980><c> had.</c>

00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:38.019
And<00:17:34.000><c> it</c><00:17:34.099><c> turns</c><00:17:34.279><c> out</c><00:17:34.519><c> that</c><00:17:34.640><c> this</c><00:17:34.779><c> is</c><00:17:34.960><c> the</c><00:17:35.099><c> last</c><00:17:35.619><c> call</c><00:17:36.220><c> to</c><00:17:37.000><c> the</c><00:17:37.160><c> nation</c><00:17:37.460><c> of</c><00:17:37.640><c> Israel.</c>

00:17:38.460 --> 00:17:39.440
This<00:17:38.599><c> is</c><00:17:38.740><c> the</c><00:17:38.839><c> last</c><00:17:39.099><c> one.</c>

00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:43.259
Because<00:17:39.880><c> in</c><00:17:40.160><c> five</c><00:17:40.539><c> years,</c><00:17:41.799><c> they're</c><00:17:42.059><c> going</c><00:17:42.119><c> to</c><00:17:42.200><c> be</c><00:17:42.400><c> gone.</c>

00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:45.680
Five<00:17:43.960><c> years</c><00:17:44.220><c> later,</c><00:17:44.460><c> they</c><00:17:44.579><c> were</c><00:17:44.799><c> completely</c><00:17:45.380><c> gone.</c>

00:17:45.700 --> 00:17:47.319
They<00:17:45.779><c> were</c><00:17:45.980><c> taken</c><00:17:46.160><c> out</c><00:17:46.339><c> of</c><00:17:46.420><c> the</c><00:17:46.599><c> land.</c>

00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:52.299
It's<00:17:48.559><c> groundbreaking</c><00:17:49.039><c> too</c><00:17:49.420><c> because</c><00:17:49.859><c> the</c><00:17:50.559><c> Passover</c><00:17:50.880><c> had</c><00:17:51.220><c> never</c><00:17:51.519><c> been</c><00:17:51.819><c> kept</c>

00:17:52.299 --> 00:17:57.920
with<00:17:53.079><c> all</c><00:17:53.440><c> 12</c><00:17:53.720><c> tribes</c><00:17:54.039><c> together</c><00:17:54.859><c> since</c><00:17:55.640><c> the</c><00:17:55.900><c> days</c><00:17:56.380><c> of</c><00:17:57.059><c> Solomon.</c>

00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:01.279
So<00:17:59.380><c> I</c><00:17:59.480><c> think</c><00:17:59.619><c> you</c><00:17:59.720><c> can</c><00:17:59.940><c> imagine</c><00:18:00.299><c> maybe</c><00:18:00.579><c> the</c><00:18:00.799><c> dynamics,</c>

00:18:01.700 --> 00:18:04.119
a<00:18:01.720><c> bit</c><00:18:01.900><c> of</c><00:18:02.059><c> the</c><00:18:02.319><c> dynamics</c><00:18:02.539><c> of</c><00:18:02.720><c> that</c><00:18:02.960><c> meeting</c><00:18:03.319><c> as</c><00:18:03.799><c> they</c><00:18:03.920><c> were</c>

00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:05.000
talking<00:18:04.420><c> about</c>

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:11.019
inviting<00:18:05.700><c> these</c><00:18:07.200><c> heathens,</c><00:18:08.079><c> if</c><00:18:08.380><c> you</c><00:18:08.599><c> will,</c><00:18:09.859><c> from</c><00:18:10.039><c> Israel.</c>

00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:13.319
But<00:18:12.160><c> they</c><00:18:12.359><c> decide</c><00:18:12.559><c> to</c><00:18:12.720><c> do</c><00:18:12.819><c> it.</c>

00:18:13.619 --> 00:18:15.079
They<00:18:13.859><c> decide</c><00:18:14.200><c> to</c><00:18:14.519><c> invite</c><00:18:14.759><c> them.</c>

00:18:15.460 --> 00:18:17.359
And<00:18:15.539><c> you</c><00:18:15.619><c> know,</c><00:18:16.240><c> some</c><00:18:16.359><c> people</c><00:18:16.559><c> have</c><00:18:16.720><c> looked</c><00:18:16.839><c> at</c><00:18:16.940><c> this</c><00:18:17.140><c> chapter</c>

00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:21.259
and<00:18:17.480><c> said</c><00:18:17.539><c> this</c><00:18:17.740><c> chapter</c><00:18:18.059><c> is</c><00:18:18.220><c> really</c><00:18:18.440><c> just</c><00:18:18.680><c> a</c><00:18:18.859><c> big</c><00:18:19.039><c> picture</c><00:18:19.420><c> of</c><00:18:20.140><c> compromise,</c>

00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:24.140
and<00:18:21.619><c> it's</c><00:18:22.160><c> kind</c><00:18:22.299><c> of</c><00:18:22.420><c> a</c><00:18:22.599><c> scary</c><00:18:22.880><c> chapter</c><00:18:23.200><c> to</c><00:18:23.420><c> look</c><00:18:23.640><c> at</c><00:18:23.819><c> because</c>

00:18:24.140 --> 00:18:24.980
of<00:18:24.299><c> the</c><00:18:24.500><c> compromise.</c>

00:18:24.980 --> 00:18:28.200
But<00:18:25.779><c> as</c><00:18:25.980><c> you</c><00:18:26.039><c> look</c><00:18:26.240><c> through</c><00:18:26.619><c> this</c><00:18:26.940><c> chapter,</c><00:18:27.259><c> as</c><00:18:27.400><c> we</c><00:18:27.480><c> look</c><00:18:27.619><c> through</c><00:18:27.740><c> it</c><00:18:27.920><c> together,</c>

00:18:28.259 --> 00:18:33.579
what<00:18:28.380><c> we're</c><00:18:28.539><c> going</c><00:18:28.700><c> to</c><00:18:28.960><c> see</c><00:18:29.279><c> is</c><00:18:29.799><c> that</c><00:18:30.839><c> a</c><00:18:31.099><c> very</c><00:18:32.039><c> firm</c><00:18:32.839><c> stand</c><00:18:33.359><c> for</c>

00:18:33.579 --> 00:18:34.259
the<00:18:33.859><c> truth</c>

00:18:34.259 --> 00:18:39.700
is<00:18:34.900><c> made</c><00:18:35.319><c> by</c><00:18:35.660><c> Hezekiah</c><00:18:36.240><c> and</c><00:18:36.599><c> by</c><00:18:37.000><c> Judah</c><00:18:37.299><c> in</c><00:18:38.200><c> inviting</c><00:18:39.059><c> these</c>

00:18:39.700 --> 00:18:40.599
from<00:18:39.900><c> the</c><00:18:40.019><c> other</c><00:18:40.200><c> tribes.</c>

00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:42.960
A<00:18:41.279><c> very</c><00:18:41.619><c> firm</c><00:18:41.980><c> stand</c><00:18:42.339><c> is</c><00:18:42.680><c> made.</c>

00:18:43.180 --> 00:18:45.299
And<00:18:43.359><c> they</c><00:18:43.480><c> do</c><00:18:43.680><c> things</c><00:18:44.039><c> by</c><00:18:44.440><c> the</c><00:18:44.640><c> letter</c><00:18:44.779><c> of</c><00:18:44.940><c> the</c><00:18:45.079><c> law.</c>

00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:47.819
And<00:18:45.700><c> you'll</c><00:18:45.880><c> see</c><00:18:45.980><c> already</c><00:18:46.299><c> that</c><00:18:46.480><c> they've</c><00:18:46.799><c> done</c><00:18:46.960><c> a</c><00:18:47.140><c> couple</c><00:18:47.319><c> of</c><00:18:47.519><c> things</c>

00:18:47.819 --> 00:18:49.259
by<00:18:48.279><c> the</c><00:18:48.539><c> letter</c><00:18:48.740><c> of</c><00:18:48.920><c> the</c><00:18:49.039><c> law.</c>

00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:52.059
Even<00:18:49.660><c> moving</c><00:18:49.960><c> it</c><00:18:50.119><c> to</c><00:18:50.240><c> the</c><00:18:50.400><c> second</c><00:18:50.619><c> month</c><00:18:50.880><c> was</c><00:18:51.240><c> by</c><00:18:51.599><c> the</c><00:18:51.759><c> letter</c>

of<00:18:52.440><c> the</c><00:18:52.559><c> law.</c>

00:18:53.579 --> 00:18:56.900
So<00:18:54.059><c> let's</c><00:18:54.259><c> look</c><00:18:54.460><c> at</c><00:18:54.599><c> 2</c><00:18:54.740><c> Chronicles</c><00:18:55.299><c> 30,</c><00:18:56.039><c> verse</c><00:18:56.220><c> 5.</c>

00:18:57.099 --> 00:18:58.400
We'll<00:18:57.160><c> go</c><00:18:57.319><c> back.</c>

00:18:59.900 --> 00:19:01.480
It<00:18:59.940><c> says,</c><00:19:00.299><c> So</c><00:19:00.299><c> they</c><00:19:00.500><c> established</c><00:19:00.980><c> a</c><00:19:01.220><c> decree.</c>

00:19:01.500 --> 00:19:03.099
So<00:19:01.619><c> they</c><00:19:01.819><c> decided,</c><00:19:02.319><c> yes,</c><00:19:02.460><c> we're</c><00:19:02.640><c> going</c><00:19:02.759><c> to</c><00:19:02.819><c> do</c><00:19:02.980><c> it.</c>

00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:05.460
We're<00:19:03.220><c> going</c><00:19:03.420><c> to</c><00:19:03.480><c> invite</c><00:19:03.779><c> everyone</c><00:19:04.220><c> from</c><00:19:04.400><c> the</c><00:19:04.579><c> northern</c><00:19:04.839><c> ten</c><00:19:05.059><c> tribes</c>

00:19:07.019 --> 00:19:10.859

00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.039
So<00:19:14.819><c> they</c><00:19:15.079><c> established</c><00:19:15.440><c> a</c><00:19:15.660><c> decree</c><00:19:15.960><c> to</c><00:19:16.180><c> make</c><00:19:16.359><c> a</c><00:19:16.559><c> proclamation</c>

00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:18.299
throughout<00:19:17.440><c> all</c><00:19:17.839><c> Israel,</c>

00:19:18.779 --> 00:19:20.660
from<00:19:18.940><c> Beersheba</c><00:19:19.559><c> even</c><00:19:19.960><c> to</c><00:19:20.240><c> Dan,</c>

00:19:20.660 --> 00:19:23.579
that<00:19:21.259><c> they</c><00:19:21.440><c> should</c><00:19:21.599><c> come</c><00:19:21.839><c> to</c><00:19:22.059><c> keep</c><00:19:22.160><c> the</c><00:19:22.440><c> Passover</c><00:19:22.779><c> unto</c><00:19:23.119><c> Yahweh,</c>

00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:25.819
God<00:19:23.839><c> of</c><00:19:24.000><c> Israel,</c><00:19:24.500><c> at</c><00:19:24.819><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:30.579
For<00:19:26.240><c> they</c><00:19:26.359><c> had</c><00:19:26.599><c> not</c><00:19:26.880><c> done</c><00:19:27.039><c> it</c><00:19:27.339><c> of</c><00:19:27.500><c> a</c><00:19:27.720><c> long</c><00:19:28.019><c> time</c><00:19:28.759><c> in</c><00:19:30.019><c> such</c><00:19:30.220><c> sort</c>

00:19:30.579 --> 00:19:31.579
as<00:19:31.059><c> it</c><00:19:31.200><c> was</c><00:19:31.380><c> written.</c>

00:19:31.660 --> 00:19:35.039
So<00:19:31.799><c> they</c><00:19:31.900><c> hadn't</c><00:19:32.140><c> done</c><00:19:32.319><c> that</c><00:19:32.519><c> for</c><00:19:32.720><c> a</c><00:19:32.799><c> long</c><00:19:33.059><c> time</c><00:19:33.319><c> since</c><00:19:33.599><c> the</c><00:19:33.839><c> times</c><00:19:34.039><c> of</c><00:19:34.259><c> Solomon.</c>

00:19:35.259 --> 00:19:37.960
And<00:19:35.420><c> it</c><00:19:35.519><c> says</c><00:19:35.640><c> that</c><00:19:35.859><c> they</c><00:19:36.700><c> invited</c><00:19:36.960><c> them</c><00:19:37.140><c> to</c><00:19:37.299><c> come</c><00:19:37.420><c> up</c><00:19:37.579><c> to</c><00:19:37.779><c> keep</c>

00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:39.660
the<00:19:39.160><c> Passover</c>

00:19:40.779 --> 00:19:46.119
unto<00:19:41.259><c> Yahweh,</c><00:19:41.859><c> God</c><00:19:42.519><c> of</c><00:19:42.759><c> Israel,</c><00:19:43.799><c> at</c><00:19:45.000><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:47.619
And<00:19:46.440><c> that's</c><00:19:46.579><c> an</c><00:19:46.839><c> important</c><00:19:47.099><c> phrase.</c>

00:19:47.619 --> 00:19:51.160
Because<00:19:48.579><c> Jerusalem</c><00:19:49.119><c> comes</c><00:19:49.480><c> to</c><00:19:49.700><c> represent</c><00:19:50.039><c> what</c><00:19:50.220><c> we</c><00:19:50.460><c> saw</c><00:19:50.740><c> back</c>

00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:52.940

00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:55.500
That's<00:19:53.619><c> the</c><00:19:53.859><c> place</c><00:19:54.099><c> where</c><00:19:54.319><c> the</c><00:19:54.640><c> truth</c><00:19:55.000><c> was.</c>

00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:58.839
That's<00:19:56.359><c> the</c><00:19:56.559><c> place</c><00:19:56.799><c> that</c><00:19:57.000><c> the</c><00:19:57.200><c> nations</c><00:19:57.500><c> would</c><00:19:57.819><c> come</c><00:19:58.059><c> to.</c>

00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:01.680
That's<00:19:59.339><c> the</c><00:19:59.480><c> place</c><00:19:59.680><c> that</c><00:19:59.859><c> in</c><00:19:59.960><c> this</c><00:20:00.200><c> case</c><00:20:00.599><c> Israel</c><00:20:01.059><c> comes</c><00:20:01.359><c> to</c>

00:20:07.940 --> 00:20:08.920
You<00:20:07.980><c> think</c><00:20:08.140><c> about</c><00:20:08.380><c> it.</c>

00:20:09.180 --> 00:20:10.779
It<00:20:09.259><c> would</c><00:20:09.339><c> have</c><00:20:09.400><c> been</c><00:20:09.500><c> hard</c><00:20:09.740><c> if</c><00:20:09.880><c> you</c><00:20:10.019><c> were</c><00:20:10.119><c> in</c><00:20:10.319><c> the</c><00:20:10.440><c> northern</c>

00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:14.500
as<00:20:12.220><c> this</c><00:20:12.559><c> invitation</c><00:20:13.160><c> came</c><00:20:13.799><c> to</c><00:20:14.019><c> you.</c>

00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:17.819
It<00:20:15.039><c> would</c><00:20:15.200><c> have</c><00:20:15.319><c> been</c><00:20:15.400><c> hard</c><00:20:15.700><c> for</c><00:20:15.880><c> you</c><00:20:15.960><c> to</c><00:20:16.099><c> put</c><00:20:16.240><c> aside</c><00:20:16.539><c> the</c><00:20:16.819><c> pride.</c>

00:20:18.660 --> 00:20:21.680
Brother<00:20:18.839><c> Richard</c><00:20:19.420><c> looked</c><00:20:19.660><c> at</c><00:20:19.920><c> a</c><00:20:20.039><c> couple</c><00:20:20.160><c> days</c><00:20:20.380><c> ago</c><00:20:20.700><c> about</c><00:20:21.140><c> the</c>

Samaritan<00:20:22.140><c> woman,</c><00:20:22.420><c> right?</c>

00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:26.119
All<00:20:23.680><c> the</c><00:20:23.799><c> way</c><00:20:24.000><c> forward</c><00:20:24.319><c> in</c><00:20:24.599><c> Christ's</c><00:20:25.180><c> time,</c>

00:20:26.380 --> 00:20:28.960
the<00:20:26.500><c> question</c><00:20:26.819><c> was</c><00:20:27.099><c> still</c><00:20:27.400><c> there,</c><00:20:27.920><c> should</c><00:20:28.099><c> we</c><00:20:28.319><c> worship</c><00:20:28.640><c> God</c>

00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:30.319
in<00:20:29.240><c> Samaria?</c>

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:32.980
Or<00:20:30.519><c> should</c><00:20:30.660><c> we</c><00:20:30.819><c> worship</c><00:20:31.079><c> God</c><00:20:31.660><c> in</c><00:20:31.980><c> Jerusalem?</c>

00:20:33.099 --> 00:20:35.220
Or<00:20:33.259><c> I</c><00:20:33.339><c> guess</c><00:20:33.539><c> it</c><00:20:33.599><c> was</c><00:20:33.799><c> Gerizim,</c><00:20:34.539><c> where</c><00:20:34.640><c> they</c><00:20:34.779><c> would</c><00:20:34.960><c> worship.</c>

00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:39.799
Those<00:20:35.740><c> were</c><00:20:35.920><c> the</c><00:20:36.059><c> two</c><00:20:36.279><c> mounts</c><00:20:36.559><c> that</c><00:20:36.740><c> they</c><00:20:36.900><c> were</c><00:20:37.059><c> looking</c><00:20:37.380><c> towards</c><00:20:37.900><c> worshiping</c><00:20:38.759><c> God</c><00:20:39.039><c> in.</c>

00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:41.920
And<00:20:40.079><c> that</c><00:20:40.259><c> question</c><00:20:40.559><c> was</c><00:20:40.819><c> still</c><00:20:41.079><c> there</c><00:20:41.259><c> and</c><00:20:41.339><c> that</c><00:20:41.480><c> was</c><00:20:41.680><c> still</c>

00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:43.619
a<00:20:42.180><c> debate</c><00:20:42.500><c> between</c><00:20:42.960><c> the</c><00:20:43.160><c> two</c><00:20:43.339><c> groups.</c>

00:20:43.619 --> 00:20:46.619
It's<00:20:44.339><c> as</c><00:20:44.480><c> if</c><00:20:44.519><c> they</c><00:20:44.660><c> had</c><00:20:44.920><c> formed</c><00:20:45.240><c> two</c><00:20:45.599><c> sides.</c>

00:20:46.779 --> 00:20:49.799
And<00:20:46.940><c> it</c><00:20:47.059><c> wasn't</c><00:20:47.359><c> about,</c><00:20:48.200><c> as</c><00:20:48.380><c> Christ</c><00:20:48.640><c> points</c><00:20:49.000><c> out,</c><00:20:49.359><c> worshiping</c>

in<00:20:50.019><c> spirit</c><00:20:50.339><c> and</c><00:20:50.579><c> in</c><00:20:50.819><c> truth.</c>

00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:54.500
It<00:20:52.000><c> was</c><00:20:52.220><c> about</c><00:20:52.440><c> which</c><00:20:52.839><c> side</c><00:20:53.240><c> are</c><00:20:53.539><c> you</c><00:20:53.779><c> on?</c>

00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:00.700
So<00:20:58.500><c> there</c><00:20:58.599><c> would</c><00:20:58.779><c> have</c><00:20:58.859><c> been</c><00:20:58.960><c> some</c><00:20:59.180><c> apprehension</c><00:20:59.680><c> then</c><00:20:59.859><c> if</c><00:20:59.920><c> you</c><00:21:00.079><c> were</c><00:21:00.220><c> in</c><00:21:00.279><c> Israel</c>

00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:20.660

He's<00:21:56.099><c> very</c><00:21:56.339><c> direct.</c>

00:21:57.660 --> 00:22:00.019

00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:05.839
It's<00:22:02.779><c> quite</c><00:22:02.900><c> an</c><00:22:03.119><c> interesting</c><00:22:03.359><c> way</c><00:22:03.599><c> to</c><00:22:03.839><c> invite</c><00:22:04.140><c> somebody</c><00:22:04.680><c> to</c><00:22:05.539><c> a</c>

00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:27.279
but<00:22:24.319><c> when</c><00:22:24.519><c> we</c><00:22:24.819><c> teach</c><00:22:25.079><c> the</c><00:22:25.319><c> truth</c><00:22:25.559><c> we'll</c><00:22:26.579><c> water</c><00:22:26.759><c> it</c><00:22:27.039><c> down,</c>

00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:39.619
when<00:22:35.900><c> you</c><00:22:36.259><c> put</c><00:22:36.480><c> the</c><00:22:36.720><c> truth</c><00:22:36.900><c> against</c><00:22:37.839><c> false</c><00:22:38.539><c> teaching,</c>

00:22:39.980 --> 00:22:42.019

00:22:59.700 --> 00:23:01.259

00:23:07.619 --> 00:23:11.180
So<00:23:08.140><c> now</c><00:23:08.660><c> He</c><00:23:08.759><c> says,</c><00:23:09.700><c> don't</c><00:23:09.759><c> trespass,</c><00:23:10.359><c> don't</c><00:23:10.519><c> be</c><00:23:10.740><c> like</c><00:23:10.880><c> those</c>

00:23:46.619 --> 00:23:49.599

The<00:27:20.440><c> second</c><00:27:20.579><c> reason</c><00:27:20.859><c> was</c><00:27:21.180><c> because</c><00:27:21.720><c> of</c><00:27:22.259><c> the</c><00:27:22.460><c> crisis.</c>

00:27:23.700 --> 00:27:27.460
It<00:27:23.900><c> was</c><00:27:24.059><c> a</c><00:27:24.240><c> terrible</c><00:27:24.519><c> crisis</c><00:27:25.079><c> because</c><00:27:25.720><c> they</c><00:27:26.240><c> were</c><00:27:26.480><c> even</c><00:27:26.839><c> closer</c><00:27:27.220><c> in</c>

00:27:27.460 --> 00:27:28.519
the<00:27:27.619><c> northern</c><00:27:27.839><c> ten</c><00:27:28.039><c> tribes</c>

00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:31.940
to<00:27:28.980><c> facing</c><00:27:29.279><c> Assyria</c><00:27:30.059><c> than</c><00:27:30.640><c> Judah</c><00:27:30.940><c> was.</c>

00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:36.680
Also,<00:27:33.259><c> they</c><00:27:33.339><c> had</c><00:27:33.500><c> respect</c><00:27:33.859><c> for</c><00:27:34.099><c> Hezekiah,</c><00:27:36.180><c> right?</c>

00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:40.220
They<00:27:37.220><c> had</c><00:27:37.460><c> heard</c><00:27:37.799><c> a</c><00:27:38.039><c> little</c><00:27:38.279><c> bit</c><00:27:38.400><c> about</c><00:27:38.599><c> Hezekiah</c><00:27:39.099><c> by</c><00:27:39.339><c> now.</c>

00:27:40.460 --> 00:27:44.140
They<00:27:40.640><c> had</c><00:27:40.799><c> seen</c><00:27:40.980><c> that</c><00:27:41.119><c> he</c><00:27:41.259><c> was</c><00:27:41.539><c> different</c><00:27:42.200><c> from</c><00:27:42.920><c> the</c><00:27:43.079><c> other</c><00:27:43.220><c> kings.</c>

00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:49.180
And<00:27:44.920><c> there</c><00:27:45.019><c> were</c><00:27:45.259><c> still</c><00:27:45.579><c> some</c><00:27:46.000><c> in</c><00:27:46.380><c> Israel</c><00:27:46.819><c> that</c><00:27:47.240><c> were</c><00:27:48.099><c> righteous.</c>

00:27:49.299 --> 00:27:51.119
There<00:27:49.420><c> were</c><00:27:49.619><c> still</c><00:27:49.799><c> some,</c><00:27:50.059><c> obviously,</c><00:27:50.539><c> that</c><00:27:50.660><c> were</c><00:27:50.819><c> righteous.</c>

00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:54.839
We<00:27:51.660><c> actually</c><00:27:52.019><c> saw</c><00:27:52.299><c> that</c><00:27:53.019><c> in</c><00:27:53.900><c> the</c><00:27:54.079><c> story</c><00:27:54.279><c> of</c><00:27:54.500><c> Ahaz.</c>

00:27:55.259 --> 00:27:57.259
We<00:27:55.460><c> didn't</c><00:27:55.660><c> see</c><00:27:55.799><c> it</c><00:27:55.940><c> in</c><00:27:56.000><c> these</c><00:27:56.220><c> classes,</c><00:27:56.539><c> but</c><00:27:56.700><c> we</c><00:27:56.859><c> see</c><00:27:56.980><c> that</c><00:27:57.200><c> in</c>

00:27:57.259 --> 00:27:58.500
the<00:27:57.420><c> story</c><00:27:57.640><c> of</c><00:27:57.839><c> Ahaz.</c>

00:27:58.500 --> 00:28:02.160
You<00:27:58.839><c> know,</c><00:27:59.599><c> when</c><00:27:59.819><c> the</c><00:27:59.980><c> children</c><00:28:00.220><c> of</c><00:28:00.420><c> Israel,</c><00:28:01.160><c> when</c><00:28:01.299><c> the</c><00:28:01.519><c> Israelites</c><00:28:01.880><c> from</c>

00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:03.099

00:28:03.099 --> 00:28:07.779
took<00:28:03.420><c> captive</c><00:28:03.799><c> the</c><00:28:04.099><c> 200</c><00:28:04.740><c>,000</c><00:28:06.200><c> women</c><00:28:06.759><c> and</c><00:28:07.220><c> children,</c>

00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:10.819
when<00:28:08.420><c> they</c><00:28:08.599><c> took</c><00:28:08.740><c> them</c><00:28:09.000><c> captive,</c><00:28:09.859><c> there</c><00:28:09.980><c> was</c><00:28:10.160><c> a</c><00:28:10.359><c> prophet</c><00:28:10.579><c> that</c>

00:28:10.819 --> 00:28:11.559
went<00:28:10.940><c> out.</c>

00:28:11.980 --> 00:28:15.079
And<00:28:12.119><c> the</c><00:28:12.299><c> prophet</c><00:28:12.539><c> said</c><00:28:12.779><c> to</c><00:28:12.859><c> them,</c><00:28:13.799><c> we're</c><00:28:14.039><c> crazy.</c>

00:28:15.299 --> 00:28:19.599
We<00:28:15.519><c> need</c><00:28:15.700><c> to</c><00:28:15.920><c> send</c><00:28:16.039><c> them</c><00:28:16.299><c> back</c><00:28:16.940><c> because</c><00:28:17.619><c> we</c><00:28:18.220><c> are</c><00:28:18.500><c> just</c><00:28:18.740><c> as</c><00:28:19.019><c> bad</c>

00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:21.099
as<00:28:20.240><c> Judah</c><00:28:20.519><c> is.</c>

00:28:21.500 --> 00:28:24.079
And<00:28:21.680><c> he</c><00:28:21.880><c> recognized</c><00:28:22.319><c> this.</c>

00:28:27.819 --> 00:28:31.279
Second<00:28:28.319><c> Chronicles</c><00:28:28.720><c> chapter</c><00:28:29.059><c> 28</c><00:28:29.579><c> and</c><00:28:29.900><c> verse</c><00:28:30.140><c> 13.</c>

00:28:31.859 --> 00:28:34.960
This<00:28:31.940><c> is</c><00:28:32.079><c> the</c><00:28:32.200><c> words</c><00:28:32.339><c> of</c><00:28:32.599><c> Oded</c><00:28:32.839><c> the</c><00:28:33.059><c> prophet</c><00:28:33.519><c> to</c><00:28:34.279><c> Ahaz</c>

00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:39.839
when<00:28:35.559><c> they</c><00:28:35.680><c> had</c><00:28:35.920><c> taken</c><00:28:36.099><c> the</c><00:28:36.339><c> 200</c><00:28:36.740><c>,000</c><00:28:37.799><c> Jews,</c><00:28:38.799><c> men</c><00:28:39.099><c> or</c><00:28:39.319><c> the</c><00:28:39.480><c> women</c><00:28:39.680><c> and</c>

00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:40.460
children<00:28:40.079><c> captive.</c>

00:28:40.700 --> 00:28:45.099
He<00:28:40.700><c> said</c><00:28:41.759><c> unto</c><00:28:41.940><c> them,</c><00:28:42.500><c> ye</c><00:28:42.660><c> shall</c><00:28:42.859><c> not</c><00:28:43.220><c> bring</c><00:28:43.519><c> in</c><00:28:43.819><c> the</c><00:28:44.079><c> captives</c><00:28:44.700><c> hither.</c>

00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:47.180
So<00:28:45.460><c> they</c><00:28:45.660><c> brought</c><00:28:45.859><c> them</c><00:28:46.079><c> to</c><00:28:46.259><c> Samaria</c><00:28:46.599><c> and</c><00:28:46.660><c> he</c><00:28:46.799><c> said,</c><00:28:46.980><c> don't</c>

00:28:47.180 --> 00:28:48.619

00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.359
For<00:28:48.880><c> whereas</c><00:28:49.359><c> we</c><00:28:49.839><c> have</c><00:28:50.039><c> offended</c><00:28:50.480><c> against</c><00:28:51.140><c> Yahweh</c><00:28:51.700><c> already,</c>

00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:58.039
ye<00:28:53.519><c> intend</c><00:28:54.000><c> to</c><00:28:54.299><c> add</c><00:28:54.559><c> more</c><00:28:54.940><c> to</c><00:28:55.220><c> our</c><00:28:55.539><c> sins</c><00:28:55.980><c> and</c><00:28:56.819><c> to</c><00:28:57.000><c> our</c><00:28:57.220><c> trespass.</c>

00:28:58.579 --> 00:29:03.079
For<00:28:58.779><c> our</c><00:28:59.079><c> trespass</c><00:28:59.720><c> is</c><00:29:00.079><c> great</c><00:29:00.640><c> and</c><00:29:01.599><c> there</c><00:29:01.900><c> is</c><00:29:02.220><c> fierce</c><00:29:02.579><c> wrath</c>

00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:04.839
against<00:29:03.900><c> Israel.</c>

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:07.700
So<00:29:05.200><c> you</c><00:29:05.339><c> see,</c><00:29:06.220><c> there</c><00:29:06.319><c> were</c><00:29:06.539><c> some</c><00:29:06.720><c> in</c><00:29:06.859><c> Israel</c><00:29:07.160><c> in</c><00:29:07.319><c> the</c><00:29:07.460><c> northern</c>

ten<00:29:07.880><c> tribes</c>

00:29:08.140 --> 00:29:11.359
that<00:29:08.460><c> already</c><00:29:09.000><c> recognized</c><00:29:09.599><c> the</c><00:29:09.799><c> situation</c><00:29:10.339><c> completely.</c>

00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:16.579
And<00:29:11.779><c> you</c><00:29:11.880><c> know</c><00:29:11.960><c> the</c><00:29:12.079><c> beauty</c><00:29:12.319><c> of</c><00:29:12.500><c> this</c><00:29:12.819><c> story</c><00:29:13.240><c> here</c><00:29:13.920><c> is</c><00:29:14.759><c> they</c><00:29:14.960><c> listened</c><00:29:15.240><c> to</c><00:29:15.480><c> Oded.</c>

00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:20.160
They<00:29:17.519><c> listened</c><00:29:17.839><c> to</c><00:29:18.059><c> Oded</c><00:29:18.380><c> and</c><00:29:18.599><c> they</c><00:29:18.940><c> brought</c><00:29:19.319><c> the</c><00:29:19.779><c> captives</c>

00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:21.339
back<00:29:20.599><c> to</c><00:29:20.880><c> Jericho</c>

00:29:21.339 --> 00:29:23.720
and<00:29:22.160><c> they</c><00:29:22.299><c> fed</c><00:29:22.539><c> them</c><00:29:22.839><c> and</c><00:29:22.940><c> they</c><00:29:23.119><c> gave</c><00:29:23.240><c> them</c><00:29:23.480><c> clothes.</c>

00:29:23.980 --> 00:29:27.000
So<00:29:23.980><c> there</c><00:29:24.440><c> was</c><00:29:24.819><c> an</c><00:29:25.039><c> understanding</c><00:29:25.539><c> here</c><00:29:25.859><c> by</c><00:29:26.099><c> some</c><00:29:26.339><c> in</c><00:29:26.579><c> Israel</c>

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:28.859
that<00:29:27.740><c> they</c><00:29:28.000><c> needed</c><00:29:28.240><c> to</c><00:29:28.440><c> do</c><00:29:28.599><c> something</c>

00:29:28.859 --> 00:29:31.680
and<00:29:29.079><c> that</c><00:29:29.240><c> the</c><00:29:29.460><c> judgments</c><00:29:29.759><c> that</c><00:29:29.940><c> were</c><00:29:30.140><c> coming</c><00:29:30.500><c> had</c><00:29:31.000><c> come</c><00:29:31.299><c> at</c>

00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:33.039
the<00:29:31.839><c> hands</c><00:29:31.980><c> of</c><00:29:32.240><c> God.</c>

00:29:33.660 --> 00:29:35.619
So<00:29:33.759><c> that's</c><00:29:34.000><c> one</c><00:29:34.160><c> of</c><00:29:34.279><c> the</c><00:29:34.420><c> other</c><00:29:34.579><c> reasons</c><00:29:34.900><c> why</c><00:29:35.119><c> Hezekiah</c><00:29:35.420><c> was</c>

00:29:35.619 --> 00:29:36.779
able<00:29:35.819><c> to</c><00:29:36.059><c> say</c><00:29:36.180><c> what</c><00:29:36.299><c> he</c><00:29:36.500><c> did</c>

00:29:36.779 --> 00:29:39.779
and<00:29:37.140><c> why</c><00:29:37.319><c> the</c><00:29:37.480><c> response</c><00:29:37.880><c> was</c><00:29:38.279><c> what</c><00:29:38.440><c> it</c><00:29:38.640><c> was.</c>

00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:43.900
Proverbs<00:29:41.200><c> chapter</c><00:29:41.500><c> 27</c><00:29:42.119><c> verse</c><00:29:42.420><c> 6</c><00:29:42.740><c> I</c><00:29:42.900><c> think</c><00:29:43.000><c> is</c><00:29:43.140><c> a</c><00:29:43.359><c> great</c><00:29:43.500><c> one</c><00:29:43.680><c> for</c><00:29:43.779><c> us</c>

00:29:43.900 --> 00:29:45.539
to<00:29:44.140><c> consider</c><00:29:44.299><c> at</c><00:29:44.460><c> this</c><00:29:44.680><c> point.</c>

00:29:46.579 --> 00:29:48.220
So<00:29:46.779><c> Hezekiah</c><00:29:47.220><c> is</c><00:29:47.460><c> very</c><00:29:47.700><c> direct.</c>

00:29:48.220 --> 00:29:51.519
He<00:29:48.839><c> gets</c><00:29:49.119><c> right</c><00:29:49.559><c> to</c><00:29:49.740><c> the</c><00:29:49.980><c> point</c><00:29:50.200><c> and</c><00:29:50.400><c> he</c><00:29:50.599><c> tells</c><00:29:50.740><c> them</c><00:29:50.960><c> exactly</c>

00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:53.359
how<00:29:51.980><c> it</c><00:29:52.299><c> is.</c>

00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:56.880
You<00:29:53.660><c> ever</c><00:29:53.799><c> have</c><00:29:53.920><c> a</c><00:29:54.220><c> friend</c><00:29:54.519><c> that</c><00:29:55.740><c> does</c><00:29:56.000><c> that</c><00:29:56.299><c> with</c><00:29:56.480><c> you,</c><00:29:56.700><c> right?</c>

00:29:56.940 --> 00:29:59.059
You've<00:29:57.259><c> done</c><00:29:57.420><c> something</c><00:29:57.759><c> wrong</c><00:29:58.039><c> and</c><00:29:58.200><c> your</c><00:29:58.440><c> friend</c><00:29:58.579><c> comes</c><00:29:58.859><c> to</c>

00:29:59.059 --> 00:30:00.279
you<00:29:59.259><c> and</c><00:29:59.420><c> says,</c>

00:30:00.460 --> 00:30:02.700
you<00:30:00.539><c> know,</c><00:30:00.640><c> you</c><00:30:00.680><c> shouldn't</c><00:30:00.859><c> have</c><00:30:01.019><c> done</c><00:30:01.140><c> that</c><00:30:01.619><c> or</c><00:30:02.420><c> you're</c><00:30:02.579><c> not</c>

00:30:02.700 --> 00:30:03.660
doing<00:30:02.900><c> that</c><00:30:03.220><c> right</c>

00:30:03.660 --> 00:30:07.359
or<00:30:04.359><c> that</c><00:30:04.859><c> wasn't</c><00:30:05.119><c> very</c><00:30:05.420><c> nice,</c><00:30:07.119><c> right?</c>

00:30:07.539 --> 00:30:13.180
Proverbs<00:30:07.900><c> says</c><00:30:08.460><c> faithful</c><00:30:09.200><c> are</c><00:30:09.519><c> the</c><00:30:09.740><c> wounds</c><00:30:10.359><c> of</c><00:30:11.259><c> a</c><00:30:11.500><c> friend,</c><00:30:12.839><c> right?</c>

00:30:13.180 --> 00:30:14.839
Because<00:30:13.519><c> they're</c><00:30:13.940><c> there</c><00:30:14.140><c> to</c><00:30:14.480><c> help</c><00:30:14.680><c> you.</c>

00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:16.200
They're<00:30:15.180><c> telling</c><00:30:15.359><c> you</c><00:30:15.700><c> honestly.</c>

00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:20.000
They're<00:30:16.779><c> telling</c><00:30:17.000><c> you</c><00:30:17.400><c> directly</c><00:30:18.160><c> the</c><00:30:19.279><c> problems</c><00:30:19.559><c> that</c><00:30:19.779><c> you've</c>

00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:21.779
made<00:30:20.299><c> or</c><00:30:20.539><c> that</c><00:30:20.720><c> you've</c><00:30:21.059><c> had.</c>

00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:23.180
And<00:30:22.180><c> the</c><00:30:22.339><c> truth</c><00:30:22.480><c> sometimes</c><00:30:22.980><c> hurts.</c>

00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:26.279
That's<00:30:23.359><c> why</c><00:30:23.500><c> it</c><00:30:23.660><c> says</c><00:30:23.779><c> the</c><00:30:24.039><c> wounds</c><00:30:24.539><c> of</c><00:30:25.319><c> a</c><00:30:25.519><c> friend.</c>

00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:31.099
He<00:30:26.680><c> says,</c><00:30:27.019><c> but</c><00:30:27.019><c> the</c><00:30:27.240><c> kisses</c><00:30:27.559><c> of</c><00:30:27.839><c> an</c><00:30:28.099><c> enemy</c><00:30:28.500><c> are</c><00:30:29.799><c> deceitful.</c>

00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:35.180
So<00:30:31.680><c> it's</c><00:30:31.859><c> much</c><00:30:32.099><c> better</c><00:30:32.299><c> to</c><00:30:32.579><c> have</c><00:30:32.980><c> the</c><00:30:33.400><c> truth</c><00:30:33.940><c> than</c><00:30:34.599><c> it</c><00:30:34.759><c> is</c><00:30:34.960><c> to</c>

00:30:35.180 --> 00:30:36.819
have<00:30:35.839><c> deceitful</c><00:30:36.500><c> affection</c>

00:30:36.819 --> 00:30:40.200
or<00:30:37.000><c> someone</c><00:30:37.259><c> that</c><00:30:37.980><c> commends</c><00:30:38.299><c> you</c><00:30:38.619><c> anyway</c><00:30:39.059><c> even</c><00:30:39.720><c> though</c><00:30:39.940><c> they</c>

00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:41.579
know<00:30:40.400><c> you've</c><00:30:40.640><c> done</c><00:30:40.759><c> the</c><00:30:40.980><c> wrong</c><00:30:41.160><c> thing</c>

00:30:41.579 --> 00:30:44.039
and<00:30:42.000><c> they</c><00:30:42.160><c> don't</c><00:30:42.319><c> take</c><00:30:42.519><c> the</c><00:30:42.640><c> opportunity</c><00:30:43.099><c> to</c><00:30:43.400><c> correct</c><00:30:43.640><c> you.</c>

00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:46.359
Here's<00:30:44.960><c> Hezekiah,</c><00:30:46.059><c> right?</c>

00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:52.579
He's<00:30:46.940><c> faithful</c><00:30:47.480><c> and</c><00:30:48.359><c> he's</c><00:30:48.859><c> wounding</c><00:30:49.759><c> his</c><00:30:50.160><c> friends,</c><00:30:51.519><c> the</c><00:30:51.720><c> Israelites.</c>

00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:55.460
Again,<00:30:53.599><c> remember</c><00:30:53.980><c> what</c><00:30:54.119><c> they've</c><00:30:54.339><c> done</c><00:30:54.500><c> to</c><00:30:54.740><c> him</c><00:30:54.900><c> and</c><00:30:55.119><c> remember</c>

00:30:55.460 --> 00:30:58.900
the<00:30:56.440><c> difficulty</c><00:30:56.960><c> that</c><00:30:57.140><c> he</c><00:30:57.240><c> must</c><00:30:57.400><c> have</c><00:30:57.559><c> had</c><00:30:57.680><c> in</c><00:30:57.859><c> doing</c><00:30:58.019><c> that.</c>

00:30:59.779 --> 00:31:02.279
Okay,<00:31:00.119><c> 2</c><00:31:00.299><c> Chronicles</c><00:31:00.859><c> 30</c><00:31:01.180><c> verse</c><00:31:01.420><c> 10.</c>

00:31:02.420 --> 00:31:06.019
So<00:31:02.640><c> the</c><00:31:02.759><c> posts</c><00:31:03.160><c> passed</c><00:31:03.579><c> from</c><00:31:03.880><c> city</c><00:31:04.140><c> to</c><00:31:04.319><c> city</c><00:31:04.779><c> through</c><00:31:05.339><c> the</c><00:31:05.539><c> country</c><00:31:05.779><c> of</c>

00:31:06.019 --> 00:31:11.319
Ephraim<00:31:06.579><c> and</c><00:31:07.299><c> Manasseh</c><00:31:07.940><c> even</c><00:31:08.259><c> to</c><00:31:08.539><c> Zebulun.</c>

00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:20.799
But<00:31:12.220><c> they</c><00:31:12.440><c> laughed</c><00:31:12.720><c> them</c><00:31:14.140><c> to</c><00:31:14.680><c> scorn</c><00:31:15.460><c> and</c><00:31:17.019><c> they</c><00:31:17.220><c> mocked</c><00:31:17.480><c> them.</c>

00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:22.240
Pride.

00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:32.920
Because<00:31:25.680><c> of</c><00:31:25.799><c> their</c><00:31:25.960><c> pride,</c><00:31:27.799><c> these</c><00:31:27.960><c> people</c><00:31:28.539><c> would</c><00:31:28.940><c> not</c><00:31:29.099><c> be</c><00:31:29.380><c> saved</c><00:31:30.019><c> from</c><00:31:31.539><c> the</c><00:31:31.940><c> Assyrians.</c>

00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.140
Maybe<00:31:35.019><c> they</c><00:31:35.240><c> thought</c><00:31:35.440><c> that</c><00:31:35.660><c> they</c><00:31:35.859><c> were</c><00:31:36.019><c> on</c><00:31:36.279><c> the</c><00:31:36.480><c> Israel</c><00:31:36.859><c> team</c>

00:31:37.140 --> 00:31:41.079
and<00:31:37.339><c> the</c><00:31:37.539><c> Israel</c><00:31:37.859><c> team</c><00:31:38.180><c> doesn't</c><00:31:38.539><c> work</c><00:31:38.859><c> with</c><00:31:39.200><c> the</c><00:31:39.440><c> Judah</c><00:31:39.619><c> team.</c>

00:31:43.140 --> 00:31:46.019
They<00:31:43.160><c> wouldn't</c><00:31:43.460><c> concede</c><00:31:44.059><c> at</c><00:31:44.480><c> this</c><00:31:44.660><c> point</c><00:31:44.859><c> in</c><00:31:45.039><c> time</c><00:31:45.220><c> that</c><00:31:45.519><c> Judah</c><00:31:45.740><c> was</c>

00:31:46.019 --> 00:31:48.140
doing<00:31:46.420><c> right.</c>

00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:52.140
So<00:31:50.380><c> they</c><00:31:50.460><c> wouldn't</c><00:31:50.960><c> go.</c>

00:31:52.539 --> 00:31:56.740
They<00:31:52.819><c> laughed</c><00:31:53.299><c> and</c><00:31:55.259><c> they</c><00:31:55.420><c> wouldn't</c><00:31:55.559><c> be</c><00:31:55.799><c> saved.</c>

00:31:57.539 --> 00:32:01.039
Sometimes<00:31:58.019><c> that</c><00:31:58.220><c> happens</c><00:31:58.539><c> in</c><00:31:58.819><c> the</c><00:31:59.059><c> truth</c><00:31:59.220><c> too,</c><00:31:59.559><c> I</c><00:31:59.559><c> think,</c><00:32:00.000><c> where</c><00:32:00.319><c> pride</c><00:32:00.619><c> gets</c><00:32:00.839><c> in</c>

00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:03.460
the<00:32:01.099><c> way</c><00:32:01.279><c> of</c><00:32:01.539><c> us</c><00:32:01.740><c> doing</c><00:32:01.960><c> the</c><00:32:02.119><c> right</c><00:32:02.319><c> thing.</c>

00:32:04.539 --> 00:32:06.680
The<00:32:04.680><c> real</c><00:32:04.859><c> danger,</c><00:32:05.240><c> of</c><00:32:05.420><c> course,</c><00:32:05.700><c> is</c><00:32:05.819><c> that</c><00:32:05.980><c> pride</c><00:32:06.200><c> can</c><00:32:06.440><c> get</c><00:32:06.500><c> in</c>

00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:13.039
the<00:32:06.779><c> way</c><00:32:07.140><c> and</c><00:32:07.559><c> cause</c><00:32:07.799><c> some</c><00:32:08.200><c> not</c><00:32:08.740><c> to</c><00:32:09.000><c> be</c><00:32:09.500><c> saved</c><00:32:10.039><c> or</c><00:32:10.900><c> to</c><00:32:11.019><c> be</c><00:32:11.119><c> in</c><00:32:11.240><c> the</c><00:32:11.319><c> Kingdom</c><00:32:11.480><c> of</c><00:32:11.640><c> God.</c>

00:32:14.339 --> 00:32:25.160
Nevertheless,<00:32:15.779><c> divers</c><00:32:16.180><c> of</c><00:32:16.440><c> Asher</c><00:32:16.900><c> and</c><00:32:17.119><c> Manasseh</c><00:32:17.859><c> and</c><00:32:18.160><c> Zebulun</c><00:32:19.859><c> humbled</c><00:32:20.460><c> themselves</c><00:32:21.400><c> and</c><00:32:22.799><c> they</c><00:32:23.039><c> came</c><00:32:23.519><c> to</c><00:32:24.079><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:32:27.299 --> 00:32:31.980
They<00:32:27.900><c> said,</c><00:32:28.319><c> yes,</c><00:32:30.400><c> we're</c><00:32:30.619><c> wretched</c><00:32:30.880><c> people.</c>

00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:34.759
Yes,<00:32:32.619><c> we</c><00:32:32.799><c> know</c><00:32:33.119><c> that</c><00:32:33.319><c> we've</c><00:32:33.519><c> done</c><00:32:33.720><c> wrong.</c>

00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:39.859
Yes,<00:32:36.039><c> we</c><00:32:36.099><c> know</c><00:32:36.519><c> that</c><00:32:36.900><c> judgment</c><00:32:37.359><c> is</c><00:32:37.819><c> upon</c><00:32:38.140><c> us</c><00:32:38.420><c> because</c><00:32:38.720><c> of</c><00:32:38.900><c> that.</c>

00:32:40.740 --> 00:32:44.880
And<00:32:40.920><c> we</c><00:32:41.000><c> see</c><00:32:41.119><c> something</c><00:32:41.420><c> good</c><00:32:41.640><c> is</c><00:32:41.819><c> happening</c><00:32:42.079><c> here</c><00:32:43.099><c> in</c><00:32:43.839><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:50.359

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:53.240
Ahaz<00:33:50.319><c> had</c><00:33:50.579><c> shut</c><00:33:50.819><c> up</c><00:33:51.039><c> the</c><00:33:51.180><c> doors</c><00:33:51.400><c> of</c><00:33:51.579><c> the</c><00:33:51.599><c> house</c><00:33:51.819><c> of</c><00:33:52.079><c> Yahweh</c><00:33:52.420><c> and</c>

00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:04.920
Every<00:34:02.000><c> man</c><00:34:02.220><c> can</c><00:34:02.440><c> worship</c><00:34:02.759><c> God</c><00:34:03.279><c> how</c><00:34:03.819><c> he</c><00:34:04.079><c> sees</c><00:34:04.299><c> fit.</c>

Well,<00:34:34.679><c> in</c><00:34:34.780><c> Judah</c><00:34:34.980><c> they</c><00:34:35.159><c> went</c><00:34:35.519><c> and</c><00:34:36.280><c> they</c><00:34:36.380><c> got</c><00:34:36.460><c> rid</c><00:34:36.579><c> of</c><00:34:36.739><c> all</c><00:34:36.880><c> of</c><00:34:37.019><c> those.</c>

00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:40.300
They<00:34:38.239><c> got</c><00:34:38.440><c> rid</c><00:34:38.639><c> of</c><00:34:38.840><c> everything</c><00:34:39.139><c> except</c><00:34:39.559><c> for</c><00:34:39.739><c> the</c><00:34:39.900><c> worship</c><00:34:40.139><c> of</c>

00:34:41.860 --> 00:34:45.420
It<00:34:41.940><c> was</c><00:34:42.079><c> looking</c><00:34:42.300><c> more</c><00:34:42.619><c> and</c><00:34:42.719><c> more</c><00:34:42.820><c> like</c><00:34:43.099><c> Isaiah</c><00:34:43.440><c> chapter</c><00:34:43.800><c> 2.</c>

00:34:53.780 --> 00:34:56.920
His<00:34:53.940><c> intent</c><00:34:54.360><c> was</c><00:34:54.940><c> to</c><00:34:55.260><c> educate</c><00:34:55.860><c> everyone.</c>

00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:00.739
He<00:34:58.820><c> removed</c><00:34:59.400><c> the</c><00:34:59.900><c> competing</c><00:35:00.260><c> religions.</c>

00:35:00.739 --> 00:35:07.099
He<00:35:01.519><c> got</c><00:35:01.739><c> rid</c><00:35:01.900><c> of</c><00:35:02.179><c> all</c><00:35:02.420><c> the</c><00:35:02.599><c> leaven</c><00:35:03.219><c> in</c><00:35:03.579><c> the</c><00:35:03.739><c> land</c><00:35:04.360><c> so</c><00:35:06.639><c> they</c><00:35:06.739><c> could</c><00:35:06.900><c> keep</c>

00:35:07.099 --> 00:35:08.360

In<00:35:10.360><c> verse</c><00:35:10.519><c> 15</c><00:35:10.940><c> it</c><00:35:11.079><c> says,</c>

Then<00:35:12.000><c> they</c><00:35:12.260><c> killed</c><00:35:12.519><c> the</c><00:35:12.800><c> Passover</c><00:35:13.260><c> on</c><00:35:13.840><c> the</c><00:35:14.059><c> fourteenth</c><00:35:14.559><c> day</c>

And<00:35:18.679><c> the</c><00:35:18.860><c> priests</c><00:35:19.320><c> and</c><00:35:19.840><c> the</c><00:35:19.980><c> Levites</c><00:35:20.340><c> were</c><00:35:20.659><c> ashamed</c><00:35:21.139><c> and</c>

00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:23.820
sanctified<00:35:23.179><c> themselves</c>

for<00:37:57.219><c> everyone</c><00:37:57.659><c> who</c><00:37:57.880><c> was</c><00:37:58.139><c> unclean</c><00:37:58.940><c> to</c><00:37:59.440><c> sanctify</c><00:38:00.000><c> the</c><00:38:00.239><c> lambs</c><00:38:01.139><c> of</c>

00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:02.159
the<00:38:01.400><c> Lord.</c>

00:38:02.260 --> 00:38:06.519
So<00:38:02.820><c> the</c><00:38:03.019><c> Levites</c><00:38:03.300><c> then</c><00:38:03.539><c> were</c><00:38:03.800><c> standing</c><00:38:04.119><c> in</c><00:38:04.300><c> and</c><00:38:04.380><c> they</c><00:38:04.500><c> were</c><00:38:04.699><c> handing</c><00:38:04.900><c> the</c><00:38:05.199><c> blood</c><00:38:05.460><c> to</c>

00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:07.260
the<00:38:06.880><c> priests</c>

00:38:07.260 --> 00:38:11.739
because<00:38:08.199><c> there</c><00:38:08.380><c> were</c><00:38:08.559><c> many</c><00:38:08.840><c> people</c><00:38:09.340><c> that</c><00:38:09.820><c> weren't</c><00:38:10.840><c> clean.</c>

00:38:12.099 --> 00:38:13.320
Now<00:38:12.239><c> that's</c><00:38:12.380><c> kind</c><00:38:12.500><c> of</c><00:38:12.619><c> interesting</c><00:38:12.960><c> I</c><00:38:13.159><c> think.</c>

00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:16.760
So<00:38:13.679><c> they</c><00:38:14.320><c> recognized</c><00:38:14.980><c> that</c><00:38:15.099><c> there</c><00:38:15.280><c> was</c><00:38:15.440><c> a</c><00:38:15.679><c> problem</c><00:38:16.079><c> already.</c>

00:38:17.179 --> 00:38:20.280
And<00:38:17.500><c> they</c><00:38:17.699><c> did</c><00:38:18.099><c> something</c><00:38:18.539><c> about</c><00:38:19.539><c> it,</c><00:38:19.739><c> didn't</c><00:38:19.940><c> they?</c>

00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:22.659
They<00:38:21.159><c> acted</c><00:38:21.420><c> to</c><00:38:21.679><c> try</c><00:38:21.820><c> to</c><00:38:22.019><c> correct</c><00:38:22.199><c> that</c><00:38:22.460><c> problem.</c>

00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:25.099
And<00:38:23.239><c> you've</c><00:38:23.619><c> got</c><00:38:23.639><c> to</c><00:38:23.800><c> commend</c><00:38:23.980><c> the</c><00:38:24.179><c> Levites</c><00:38:24.500><c> here</c><00:38:24.679><c> once</c><00:38:24.900><c> again</c>

00:38:25.099 --> 00:38:25.380
I<00:38:25.199><c> think</c>

00:38:25.380 --> 00:38:28.039
because<00:38:25.599><c> once</c><00:38:25.860><c> again</c><00:38:26.039><c> the</c><00:38:26.219><c> Levites</c><00:38:26.800><c> stand</c><00:38:27.280><c> up</c><00:38:27.460><c> and</c><00:38:27.599><c> they</c><00:38:27.880><c> fill</c>

00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:29.940
in<00:38:28.599><c> where</c><00:38:28.780><c> other</c><00:38:29.019><c> people</c><00:38:29.199><c> can't.</c>

00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:32.039
So<00:38:30.599><c> let's</c><00:38:30.699><c> go</c><00:38:30.800><c> to</c><00:38:30.940><c> the</c><00:38:31.000><c> next</c><00:38:31.199><c> verse,</c><00:38:31.400><c> verse</c><00:38:31.639><c> 18.</c>

00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:37.000
He<00:38:32.639><c> says,</c><00:38:32.920><c> For</c><00:38:32.920><c> a</c><00:38:33.199><c> multitude</c><00:38:33.559><c> of</c><00:38:33.840><c> people,</c><00:38:34.619><c> even</c><00:38:34.920><c> many</c><00:38:35.239><c> of</c><00:38:35.500><c> Ephraim</c><00:38:35.920><c> and</c><00:38:36.239><c> Manasseh,</c>

00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:40.139
Issachar<00:38:37.519><c> and</c><00:38:37.679><c> Zebulon</c><00:38:38.179><c> had</c><00:38:38.380><c> not</c><00:38:38.679><c> cleansed</c><00:38:39.139><c> themselves.</c>

00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:43.039
And<00:38:41.280><c> here</c><00:38:41.440><c> comes</c><00:38:41.639><c> the</c><00:38:41.860><c> problem.</c>

00:38:43.420 --> 00:38:47.000
Yet<00:38:43.559><c> did</c><00:38:43.760><c> they</c><00:38:43.980><c> eat</c><00:38:44.199><c> the</c><00:38:44.519><c> Passover</c><00:38:44.860><c> otherwise</c><00:38:45.639><c> than</c><00:38:45.920><c> it</c><00:38:46.039><c> was</c><00:38:46.239><c> written.</c>

00:38:47.179 --> 00:38:49.460
So<00:38:47.360><c> they</c><00:38:47.480><c> shouldn't</c><00:38:47.699><c> have</c><00:38:47.960><c> eaten</c><00:38:48.099><c> the</c><00:38:48.360><c> Passover,</c><00:38:49.039><c> eaten</c><00:38:49.300><c> of</c>

00:38:49.460 --> 00:38:51.139
the<00:38:49.739><c> Passover</c><00:38:49.980><c> either.</c>

00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:52.900
And<00:38:51.739><c> yet</c><00:38:51.820><c> they</c><00:38:52.079><c> did.</c>

00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:56.000
But<00:38:53.320><c> it</c><00:38:53.440><c> seems</c><00:38:53.599><c> that</c><00:38:53.739><c> they</c><00:38:53.860><c> were</c><00:38:54.099><c> trying</c><00:38:54.679><c> to</c><00:38:55.420><c> correct</c><00:38:55.619><c> the</c><00:38:55.840><c> one</c>

00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:58.599
part<00:38:56.219><c> by</c><00:38:56.400><c> having</c><00:38:56.579><c> the</c><00:38:56.739><c> Levites</c><00:38:57.099><c> stand</c><00:38:57.420><c> in</c><00:38:57.599><c> for</c><00:38:57.760><c> them.</c>

00:38:58.860 --> 00:39:01.940
But<00:38:59.019><c> then</c><00:38:59.679><c> when</c><00:39:00.340><c> it</c><00:39:00.500><c> came</c><00:39:00.639><c> to</c><00:39:00.840><c> eating</c><00:39:01.000><c> the</c><00:39:01.239><c> Passover,</c><00:39:01.559><c> they</c><00:39:01.719><c> ate</c><00:39:01.820><c> of</c>

00:39:01.940 --> 00:39:03.360
the<00:39:02.159><c> Passover.</c>

00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:05.820
Otherwise<00:39:04.559><c> than</c><00:39:04.760><c> it</c><00:39:04.880><c> was</c><00:39:05.079><c> written.</c>

00:39:07.019 --> 00:39:09.280
So<00:39:07.460><c> what</c><00:39:07.559><c> does</c><00:39:07.739><c> Hezekiah</c><00:39:08.239><c> do</c><00:39:08.500><c> in</c><00:39:08.659><c> this</c><00:39:08.820><c> situation?</c>

00:39:09.619 --> 00:39:14.820
The<00:39:09.840><c> situation</c><00:39:10.400><c> was</c><00:39:10.900><c> very</c><00:39:11.320><c> urgent</c><00:39:11.639><c> because</c><00:39:11.920><c> there</c><00:39:12.079><c> was</c><00:39:12.260><c> an</c><00:39:12.599><c> error</c><00:39:12.980><c> that</c><00:39:13.420><c> had</c><00:39:13.599><c> been</c><00:39:13.800><c> made</c><00:39:14.460><c> by</c>

00:39:14.820 --> 00:39:15.860
the<00:39:15.019><c> people.</c>

00:39:16.420 --> 00:39:18.280
And<00:39:16.519><c> I</c><00:39:16.619><c> think</c><00:39:16.800><c> that</c><00:39:17.119><c> probably</c><00:39:17.460><c> at</c><00:39:17.599><c> this</c><00:39:17.760><c> point</c><00:39:17.940><c> in</c><00:39:18.059><c> time</c><00:39:18.159><c> there</c>

00:39:18.280 --> 00:39:19.840
would<00:39:18.420><c> have</c><00:39:18.519><c> been</c><00:39:18.599><c> some</c><00:39:18.900><c> that</c><00:39:19.039><c> would</c><00:39:19.199><c> have</c><00:39:19.320><c> been</c><00:39:19.480><c> saying,</c>

00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:22.900
I<00:39:20.440><c> told</c><00:39:20.719><c> you</c><00:39:20.860><c> we</c><00:39:20.980><c> shouldn't</c><00:39:21.219><c> have</c><00:39:21.400><c> invited</c><00:39:21.659><c> those</c><00:39:22.000><c> guys.</c>

00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:25.820
I<00:39:23.880><c> knew</c><00:39:24.019><c> we</c><00:39:24.239><c> shouldn't</c><00:39:24.400><c> have</c><00:39:24.539><c> done</c><00:39:24.659><c> that.</c>

00:39:26.760 --> 00:39:29.159
But<00:39:26.920><c> Hezekiah</c><00:39:27.280><c> wanted</c><00:39:27.539><c> to</c><00:39:27.820><c> please</c><00:39:28.019><c> God.</c>

00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:31.440
And<00:39:29.400><c> they</c><00:39:29.480><c> wanted</c><00:39:29.659><c> to</c><00:39:29.840><c> do</c><00:39:29.920><c> what</c><00:39:30.079><c> was</c><00:39:30.360><c> right.</c>

00:39:32.019 --> 00:39:34.940
But<00:39:32.199><c> it</c><00:39:32.400><c> wasn't</c><00:39:32.719><c> right</c><00:39:33.260><c> for</c><00:39:33.579><c> them</c><00:39:34.300><c> to</c><00:39:34.739><c> eat.</c>

00:39:34.940 --> 00:39:38.679
It<00:39:35.079><c> wasn't</c><00:39:35.460><c> right</c><00:39:35.739><c> for</c><00:39:36.500><c> them</c><00:39:36.679><c> to</c><00:39:36.860><c> have</c><00:39:37.039><c> fellowship</c><00:39:37.579><c> when</c><00:39:38.539><c> they</c>

00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:40.500
were<00:39:38.880><c> unclean.</c>

00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:43.699
And<00:39:40.659><c> so</c><00:39:40.699><c> when</c><00:39:40.880><c> Hezekiah</c><00:39:41.260><c> becomes</c><00:39:41.699><c> aware</c><00:39:42.079><c> of</c><00:39:42.300><c> this,</c>

00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:50.360
immediately<00:39:44.619><c> Hezekiah</c><00:39:45.460><c> prays</c><00:39:46.219><c> to</c><00:39:46.420><c> God</c><00:39:46.820><c> that</c><00:39:47.500><c> they</c><00:39:47.659><c> might</c><00:39:47.880><c> be</c><00:39:48.139><c> pardoned.</c>

00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:52.039
Verse<00:39:50.860><c> 19.</c>

00:39:52.219 --> 00:39:53.099
He<00:39:52.219><c> says,</c>

00:40:03.380 --> 00:40:06.139
So<00:40:03.860><c> He</c><00:40:04.340><c> instantly</c><00:40:04.960><c> prays</c><00:40:05.360><c> for</c><00:40:05.460><c> them.</c>

00:40:06.500 --> 00:40:10.179
And<00:40:06.579><c> He</c><00:40:06.760><c> prays</c><00:40:07.000><c> for</c><00:40:07.079><c> those</c><00:40:07.500><c> that</c><00:40:07.760><c> had</c><00:40:08.039><c> prepared</c><00:40:08.719><c> their</c><00:40:09.780><c> heart</c>

00:40:10.179 --> 00:40:12.760
to<00:40:11.280><c> seek</c><00:40:11.719><c> God.</c>

00:40:13.380 --> 00:40:14.199
Now<00:40:13.519><c> why</c><00:40:13.599><c> does</c><00:40:13.780><c> He</c><00:40:13.840><c> do</c><00:40:14.000><c> this?</c>

00:40:14.260 --> 00:40:18.300
Why<00:40:14.420><c> does</c><00:40:14.659><c> He</c><00:40:15.460><c> think</c><00:40:15.860><c> that</c><00:40:16.099><c> this</c><00:40:16.260><c> will</c><00:40:16.500><c> be</c><00:40:17.119><c> acceptable</c><00:40:17.519><c> to</c><00:40:17.739><c> God</c>

00:40:18.300 --> 00:40:19.719
to<00:40:18.900><c> do</c><00:40:19.059><c> this</c><00:40:19.260><c> in</c><00:40:19.380><c> this</c><00:40:19.579><c> case?</c>

00:40:19.739 --> 00:40:21.780
And<00:40:19.880><c> why</c><00:40:19.960><c> does</c><00:40:20.099><c> He</c><00:40:20.179><c> think</c><00:40:20.360><c> that</c><00:40:20.519><c> God</c><00:40:20.739><c> will</c><00:40:21.139><c> forgive</c><00:40:21.440><c> them?</c>

00:40:22.139 --> 00:40:22.579
Now,<00:40:22.579><c> He</c><00:40:22.579><c> says,</c>

00:40:22.579 --> 00:40:25.460
We<00:40:23.260><c> need</c><00:40:23.420><c> to</c><00:40:23.559><c> make</c><00:40:23.659><c> sure</c><00:40:23.840><c> that</c><00:40:24.000><c> we</c><00:40:24.159><c> recognize</c><00:40:24.579><c> that</c><00:40:24.800><c> this</c><00:40:25.039><c> was</c>

00:40:25.460 --> 00:40:26.860
a<00:40:25.719><c> problem,</c><00:40:26.039><c> what</c><00:40:26.159><c> they</c><00:40:26.340><c> were</c><00:40:26.480><c> doing,</c>

00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:30.380
and<00:40:27.539><c> that</c><00:40:27.820><c> Him</c><00:40:28.119><c> praying</c><00:40:28.579><c> was</c><00:40:29.260><c> the</c><00:40:29.460><c> right</c><00:40:29.639><c> thing</c><00:40:29.820><c> to</c><00:40:30.000><c> do.</c>

00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:32.880
And<00:40:30.860><c> we</c><00:40:30.960><c> know</c><00:40:31.179><c> that</c><00:40:31.300><c> it</c><00:40:31.380><c> was</c><00:40:31.579><c> the</c><00:40:31.719><c> right</c><00:40:31.920><c> thing</c><00:40:32.079><c> to</c><00:40:32.260><c> do</c><00:40:32.400><c> because</c>

00:40:37.059 --> 00:40:39.539
So<00:40:37.260><c> God</c><00:40:37.440><c> shows</c><00:40:37.699><c> us</c><00:40:37.980><c> clearly</c><00:40:38.260><c> that</c><00:40:38.480><c> this</c><00:40:38.860><c> was</c><00:40:39.079><c> the</c><00:40:39.239><c> right</c><00:40:39.380><c> thing</c>

00:40:39.539 --> 00:40:41.159

00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:45.239
But<00:40:42.599><c> why</c><00:40:43.039><c> was</c><00:40:43.519><c> it</c><00:40:43.679><c> all</c><00:40:43.840><c> right</c><00:40:44.159><c> for</c><00:40:44.599><c> Hezekiah</c><00:40:44.940><c> to</c><00:40:45.119><c> pray?</c>

00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:48.780
Why<00:40:45.500><c> did</c><00:40:45.659><c> he</c><00:40:45.900><c> think</c><00:40:46.159><c> that</c><00:40:46.380><c> God</c><00:40:46.639><c> would</c><00:40:47.559><c> forgive</c><00:40:47.820><c> them?</c>

00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:51.920
And<00:40:49.280><c> of</c><00:40:49.400><c> course</c><00:40:49.519><c> it</c><00:40:49.619><c> had</c><00:40:49.820><c> to</c><00:40:50.019><c> do</c><00:40:50.219><c> with</c><00:40:50.780><c> their</c><00:40:51.039><c> hearts,</c><00:40:51.400><c> didn't</c><00:40:51.539><c> it?</c>

00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:54.480
Their<00:40:52.599><c> hearts</c><00:40:53.079><c> were</c><00:40:53.539><c> right.</c>

00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:58.659
You<00:40:54.679><c> see,</c><00:40:55.420><c> coming</c><00:40:55.840><c> to</c><00:40:56.480><c> the</c><00:40:56.659><c> Passover,</c><00:40:57.159><c> coming</c><00:40:57.400><c> to</c><00:40:57.579><c> the</c><00:40:57.780><c> Temple,</c>

00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:01.420
if<00:40:59.019><c> you</c><00:40:59.360><c> cleansed</c><00:40:59.820><c> yourself,</c><00:41:00.219><c> that</c><00:41:00.380><c> was</c><00:41:00.679><c> a</c><00:41:00.880><c> preparation.</c>

00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:05.940
It<00:41:01.760><c> was</c><00:41:01.960><c> to</c><00:41:02.139><c> represent</c><00:41:02.699><c> the</c><00:41:03.360><c> preparation</c><00:41:03.860><c> of</c><00:41:04.199><c> your</c><00:41:04.559><c> mind</c><00:41:05.039><c> for</c>

00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:09.019
Right?

00:41:09.260 --> 00:41:13.579
So<00:41:09.760><c> it</c><00:41:10.179><c> was</c><00:41:10.420><c> to</c><00:41:10.619><c> represent</c><00:41:11.000><c> this</c><00:41:11.360><c> ritual</c><00:41:12.019><c> of</c><00:41:12.360><c> cleansing</c><00:41:12.719><c> yourself,</c>

00:41:13.739 --> 00:41:17.300

00:41:20.699 --> 00:41:24.539
Their<00:41:21.280><c> minds</c><00:41:21.860><c> had</c><00:41:22.980><c> already</c><00:41:23.219><c> been</c><00:41:23.460><c> changed,</c><00:41:24.019><c> hadn't</c><00:41:24.019><c> they?</c>

00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:28.039
Their<00:41:25.159><c> hearts</c><00:41:25.460><c> were</c><00:41:25.760><c> already</c><00:41:26.179><c> in</c><00:41:26.460><c> the</c><00:41:26.719><c> right</c><00:41:26.960><c> place</c><00:41:27.539><c> when</c>

00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:29.139
they<00:41:28.280><c> came.</c>

00:41:29.500 --> 00:41:31.599
And<00:41:29.599><c> so</c><00:41:29.679><c> when</c><00:41:29.820><c> Hezekiah</c><00:41:30.239><c> prays</c><00:41:30.780><c> for</c><00:41:30.960><c> them,</c>

00:41:31.900 --> 00:41:35.059
he<00:41:32.119><c> prays</c><00:41:32.920><c> that</c><00:41:33.079><c> those</c><00:41:33.380><c> that</c><00:41:33.659><c> prepared</c><00:41:34.059><c> their</c><00:41:34.380><c> heart</c><00:41:34.639><c> to</c><00:41:34.880><c> seek</c>

00:41:35.059 --> 00:41:37.679
God<00:41:35.860><c> would</c><00:41:36.440><c> be</c><00:41:36.719><c> cleansed</c>

00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:40.380

00:41:40.699 --> 00:41:43.500
Because<00:41:41.079><c> they</c><00:41:41.280><c> weren't</c><00:41:41.679><c> cleansed</c><00:41:42.119><c> according</c><00:41:42.300><c> to</c><00:41:42.480><c> the</c><00:41:42.559><c> purification</c><00:41:42.900><c> of</c><00:41:43.059><c> the</c><00:41:43.199><c> sanctuary,</c>

00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:47.760
And<00:41:45.119><c> of</c><00:41:45.300><c> course,</c><00:41:45.739><c> what</c><00:41:45.880><c> happens,</c><00:41:46.800><c> the</c><00:41:46.920><c> key</c><00:41:47.159><c> to</c><00:41:47.340><c> the</c><00:41:47.500><c> outcome</c>

is<00:41:47.940><c> in</c><00:41:48.039><c> verse</c><00:41:48.219><c> 20,</c>

00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:53.300

00:41:54.260 --> 00:41:57.440
You<00:41:54.380><c> know,</c><00:41:54.440><c> it's</c><00:41:54.559><c> almost</c><00:41:54.760><c> like</c><00:41:55.320><c> when</c><00:41:55.559><c> Paul</c><00:41:55.760><c> talks</c><00:41:56.039><c> about</c><00:41:56.239><c> in</c><00:41:56.539><c> Romans</c><00:41:56.840><c> chapter</c><00:41:57.179><c> 2</c>

00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:00.320
how<00:41:57.940><c> the</c><00:41:58.300><c> Gentiles</c><00:41:58.820><c> did</c><00:41:59.079><c> the</c><00:41:59.320><c> things</c><00:41:59.619><c> of</c><00:41:59.860><c> the</c><00:42:00.019><c> law.</c>

00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:04.380
They<00:42:01.260><c> were</c><00:42:01.519><c> actually</c><00:42:02.119><c> exhibiting</c><00:42:03.340><c> the</c><00:42:03.679><c> character</c><00:42:04.000><c> the</c><00:42:04.179><c> law</c>

00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:07.679

00:42:08.139 --> 00:42:09.559
And<00:42:08.340><c> he</c><00:42:08.500><c> commends</c><00:42:08.800><c> them</c><00:42:09.039><c> for</c><00:42:09.239><c> that.</c>

00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:10.300
Right?

00:42:10.300 --> 00:42:10.920
He<00:42:10.760><c> says,</c>

00:42:11.059 --> 00:42:14.659
For<00:42:11.059><c> when</c><00:42:11.219><c> the</c><00:42:11.420><c> Gentiles</c><00:42:11.860><c> which</c><00:42:12.039><c> have</c><00:42:12.280><c> not</c><00:42:12.559><c> the</c><00:42:12.719><c> law</c><00:42:12.920><c> do</c><00:42:13.099><c> by</c><00:42:13.280><c> nature</c><00:42:13.519><c> the</c><00:42:13.719><c> things</c><00:42:13.960><c> contained</c><00:42:14.480><c> in</c>

the<00:42:14.800><c> law,</c>

00:42:15.780 --> 00:42:19.639
these<00:42:16.099><c> having</c><00:42:16.380><c> not</c><00:42:16.800><c> the</c><00:42:17.000><c> law</c><00:42:17.400><c> are</c><00:42:17.900><c> a</c><00:42:18.019><c> law</c><00:42:18.340><c> to</c><00:42:18.539><c> themselves.</c>

00:42:19.659 --> 00:42:19.820
Right?

00:42:19.820 --> 00:42:22.619
They're<00:42:19.980><c> actually</c><00:42:20.380><c> doing</c><00:42:20.719><c> the</c><00:42:20.960><c> things</c><00:42:21.119><c> that</c><00:42:21.320><c> the</c><00:42:21.460><c> law</c><00:42:21.579><c> was</c><00:42:21.800><c> supposed</c><00:42:22.059><c> to</c><00:42:22.300><c> teach,</c>

00:42:23.019 --> 00:42:25.780
even<00:42:23.219><c> though</c><00:42:23.400><c> they</c><00:42:23.519><c> weren't</c><00:42:23.739><c> keeping</c><00:42:24.019><c> the</c><00:42:24.260><c> law</c><00:42:24.599><c> itself.</c>

00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:27.820
And<00:42:26.139><c> that's,</c><00:42:26.360><c> I</c><00:42:26.360><c> think,</c><00:42:26.559><c> the</c><00:42:26.679><c> principle</c><00:42:26.980><c> that</c><00:42:27.400><c> was</c><00:42:27.559><c> taking</c>

00:42:27.820 --> 00:42:29.079
place<00:42:28.159><c> here.</c>

00:42:29.139 --> 00:42:33.679
So<00:42:29.280><c> Hezekiah</c><00:42:29.699><c> prays,</c><00:42:30.940><c> and</c><00:42:31.079><c> God</c><00:42:31.300><c> heals</c><00:42:31.659><c> them</c><00:42:32.219><c> in</c><00:42:32.519><c> this</c><00:42:32.679><c> situation.</c>

00:42:34.519 --> 00:42:35.380
So<00:42:34.760><c> what</c><00:42:34.880><c> happens</c><00:42:35.179><c> then?</c>

00:42:35.539 --> 00:42:38.360
Let's<00:42:36.019><c> bring</c><00:42:36.260><c> ourselves</c><00:42:36.539><c> up</c><00:42:36.699><c> to</c><00:42:36.860><c> speed</c><00:42:37.059><c> then</c><00:42:37.599><c> on</c><00:42:37.980><c> the</c><00:42:38.219><c> sharing</c>

00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:38.860

00:42:38.860 --> 00:42:41.579
So<00:42:39.679><c> he</c><00:42:39.860><c> invited</c><00:42:40.159><c> them</c><00:42:40.340><c> to</c><00:42:40.500><c> the</c><00:42:40.719><c> Passover.</c>
