So<00:01:44.719><c> we</c><00:01:44.879><c> got</c><00:01:45.140><c> to</c><00:01:46.140><c> somewhere</c><00:01:46.659><c> in</c><00:01:46.840><c> there.</c>

00:01:47.140 --> 00:01:47.840
Where<00:01:47.200><c> do</c><00:01:47.299><c> we</c><00:01:47.379><c> get</c><00:01:47.540><c> to?</c>

00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.680
Step<00:01:48.760><c> one,</c><00:01:49.799><c> the</c><00:01:50.239><c> mission.</c>

00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.299
Step<00:01:51.159><c> one,</c><00:01:51.780><c> you</c><00:01:51.879><c> start</c><00:01:52.120><c> looking</c><00:01:52.379><c> in</c><00:01:52.640><c> Zachariah</c><00:01:53.040><c> chapter</c><00:01:53.340><c> one.</c>

00:01:54.420 --> 00:01:56.859
And<00:01:54.599><c> that's</c><00:01:54.840><c> what</c><00:01:54.980><c> we'll</c><00:01:55.180><c> take</c><00:01:55.379><c> off</c><00:01:55.540><c> for</c><00:01:55.680><c> the</c><00:01:55.819><c> second</c><00:01:56.000><c> class.</c>

00:01:57.140 --> 00:01:59.319
In<00:01:57.260><c> Zachariah</c><00:01:57.659><c> chapter</c><00:01:57.959><c> one,</c><00:01:58.540><c> at</c><00:01:58.719><c> the</c><00:01:58.799><c> very</c><00:01:58.980><c> beginning,</c>

00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.319
the<00:01:59.620><c> very</c><00:01:59.959><c> first</c><00:02:00.219><c> thing</c><00:02:00.400><c> that</c><00:02:00.620><c> Zachariah</c><00:02:01.099><c> comes</c><00:02:01.400><c> back</c><00:02:01.739><c> in</c><00:02:01.980><c> is</c><00:02:02.200><c> that,</c>

00:02:02.420 --> 00:02:03.420

00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:06.040
If<00:02:04.299><c> we're</c><00:02:04.579><c> going</c><00:02:04.640><c> to</c><00:02:04.680><c> have</c><00:02:04.799><c> an</c><00:02:04.980><c> impact</c><00:02:05.239><c> on</c><00:02:05.459><c> these</c><00:02:05.659><c> people,</c>

00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.439
then<00:02:06.379><c> Zachariah</c><00:02:06.879><c> gets</c><00:02:07.159><c> the</c><00:02:07.980><c> message</c><00:02:08.319><c> right</c><00:02:08.699><c> from</c><00:02:08.900><c> the</c><00:02:09.099><c> beginning</c>

00:02:11.819 --> 00:02:13.500
We've<00:02:12.180><c> got</c><00:02:12.259><c> to</c><00:02:12.379><c> be</c><00:02:12.539><c> willing</c><00:02:12.719><c> to</c><00:02:12.879><c> come</c><00:02:13.099><c> back.</c>

00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:17.580
God<00:02:13.979><c> can't</c><00:02:14.379><c> work</c><00:02:14.599><c> with</c><00:02:14.800><c> people</c><00:02:15.259><c> who</c><00:02:15.460><c> are</c><00:02:15.639><c> not</c><00:02:16.180><c> looking</c><00:02:16.580><c> for</c><00:02:17.379><c> a</c>

00:02:18.819 --> 00:02:20.879
If<00:02:18.879><c> we've</c><00:02:19.280><c> wandered</c><00:02:19.460><c> away</c><00:02:19.699><c> and</c><00:02:19.860><c> we've</c><00:02:20.139><c> gotten</c><00:02:20.259><c> out</c><00:02:20.419><c> of</c><00:02:20.520><c> the</c><00:02:20.680><c> work,</c>

first<00:02:21.460><c> step</c><00:02:21.759><c> is</c><00:02:22.020><c> return</c><00:02:22.520><c> to</c><00:02:22.740><c> Me,</c><00:02:23.039><c> he</c><00:02:23.159><c> says,</c><00:02:23.580><c> in</c><00:02:23.740><c> Zachariah</c>

00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:24.759
chapter<00:02:24.460><c> one.</c>

00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:27.139
That<00:02:25.099><c> was</c><00:02:25.300><c> that</c><00:02:25.500><c> first</c><00:02:25.740><c> section</c><00:02:26.039><c> that</c><00:02:26.259><c> Brad</c><00:02:26.419><c> was</c><00:02:26.639><c> reading</c><00:02:26.919><c> in</c>

verse<00:02:27.379><c> three.</c>

00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.219
Thus<00:02:28.300><c> says</c><00:02:28.560><c> the</c><00:02:28.759><c> Lord</c><00:02:28.979><c> of</c><00:02:29.159><c> Hosts,</c><00:02:29.620><c> return</c><00:02:30.099><c> to</c><00:02:30.379><c> Me,</c><00:02:30.919><c> says</c><00:02:31.020><c> the</c>

00:02:31.219 --> 00:02:31.740
Lord<00:02:31.360><c> of</c><00:02:31.479><c> Hosts,</c>

00:02:31.740 --> 00:02:33.319
and<00:02:31.919><c> I</c><00:02:32.199><c> will</c><00:02:32.500><c> return</c><00:02:32.800><c> to</c><00:02:33.020><c> you.</c>

00:02:33.780 --> 00:02:36.219
And<00:02:33.960><c> you</c><00:02:34.039><c> could</c><00:02:34.219><c> see</c><00:02:34.400><c> how</c><00:02:34.620><c> that</c><00:02:34.840><c> would</c><00:02:35.039><c> come</c><00:02:35.280><c> across</c><00:02:35.599><c> to</c><00:02:35.879><c> people</c>

00:02:36.219 --> 00:02:39.360
who<00:02:36.719><c> realized</c><00:02:37.199><c> that</c><00:02:37.520><c> He</c><00:02:37.939><c> had</c><00:02:38.400><c> stopped</c><00:02:38.740><c> the</c><00:02:39.099><c> work.</c>

00:02:39.819 --> 00:02:40.599
He'd<00:02:40.259><c> stopped</c><00:02:40.460><c> it.</c>

00:02:40.620 --> 00:02:42.879
He'd<00:02:40.979><c> sent</c><00:02:41.080><c> a</c><00:02:41.300><c> king</c><00:02:41.419><c> who</c><00:02:41.580><c> came</c><00:02:41.759><c> in</c><00:02:41.939><c> there</c><00:02:42.020><c> at</c><00:02:42.159><c> that</c><00:02:42.400><c> period</c><00:02:42.659><c> there</c>

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:44.500
and<00:02:42.939><c> just</c><00:02:43.219><c> said,</c><00:02:43.479><c> you</c><00:02:43.580><c> can't</c><00:02:43.879><c> work</c><00:02:44.060><c> anymore.</c>

00:02:44.939 --> 00:02:47.819
But<00:02:45.000><c> if</c><00:02:45.280><c> you</c><00:02:45.500><c> return</c><00:02:45.879><c> to</c><00:02:46.060><c> Me,</c><00:02:46.479><c> I'll</c><00:02:46.860><c> return</c><00:02:47.139><c> back</c><00:02:47.379><c> to</c><00:02:47.560><c> you.</c>

00:02:48.259 --> 00:02:50.340
Actually,<00:02:48.659><c> that</c><00:02:48.840><c> same</c><00:02:49.120><c> message</c><00:02:49.439><c> had</c><00:02:49.580><c> been</c><00:02:49.800><c> delivered</c><00:02:50.060><c> back</c>

00:02:52.139 --> 00:02:55.120
It<00:02:52.360><c> was</c><00:02:52.580><c> the</c><00:02:52.919><c> same</c><00:02:53.180><c> consistent</c><00:02:53.780><c> message</c><00:02:54.240><c> that</c><00:02:54.419><c> had</c><00:02:54.539><c> come</c><00:02:54.759><c> along.</c>

in<00:02:58.680><c> Jeremiah</c>

00:02:59.139 --> 00:03:03.020
is<00:02:59.379><c> because</c><00:03:00.020><c> that</c><00:03:00.699><c> was</c><00:03:00.979><c> the</c><00:03:01.219><c> message</c><00:03:01.580><c> in</c><00:03:01.840><c> Jeremiah</c><00:03:02.219><c> three</c><00:03:02.780><c> and</c>

00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.319
That<00:03:06.000><c> was</c><00:03:06.300><c> the</c><00:03:06.520><c> message</c><00:03:06.960><c> God</c><00:03:07.280><c> had</c><00:03:07.599><c> delivered</c><00:03:08.099><c> before</c><00:03:09.000><c> they</c>

00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.379
And<00:03:11.159><c> His</c><00:03:11.400><c> warning</c><00:03:11.719><c> is,</c><00:03:12.180><c> you</c><00:03:12.439><c> might</c><00:03:12.659><c> think</c><00:03:12.860><c> you're</c><00:03:13.060><c> back</c><00:03:13.240><c> in</c>

00:03:13.379 --> 00:03:14.039

00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.319
and<00:03:16.460><c> you</c><00:03:16.539><c> might</c><00:03:16.740><c> think</c><00:03:16.919><c> that</c><00:03:17.159><c> 70</c><00:03:17.319><c>-year</c><00:03:17.479><c> captivity</c><00:03:17.919><c> was</c><00:03:18.099><c> just</c>

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:19.000
your<00:03:18.520><c> captivity,</c>

00:03:19.460 --> 00:03:21.340
but<00:03:19.639><c> don't</c><00:03:20.099><c> you</c><00:03:20.340><c> think</c><00:03:20.500><c> I</c><00:03:20.639><c> won't</c><00:03:20.780><c> do</c><00:03:20.900><c> it</c><00:03:21.020><c> again?</c>

00:03:21.699 --> 00:03:23.939
If<00:03:21.919><c> you</c><00:03:22.120><c> don't</c><00:03:22.280><c> return</c><00:03:22.599><c> to</c><00:03:22.780><c> Me,</c><00:03:23.259><c> that</c><00:03:23.500><c> captivity,</c>

00:03:25.780 --> 00:03:27.360
It's<00:03:26.000><c> all</c><00:03:26.300><c> going</c><00:03:26.460><c> to</c><00:03:26.659><c> happen</c><00:03:26.939><c> again.</c>

00:03:30.740 --> 00:03:33.419
It's<00:03:30.939><c> a</c><00:03:31.099><c> realistic</c><00:03:31.599><c> wake</c><00:03:31.819><c>-up</c><00:03:31.979><c> call</c><00:03:32.340><c> that</c><00:03:32.719><c> either</c><00:03:32.939><c> we</c><00:03:33.080><c> get</c><00:03:33.219><c> back</c>

evil<00:04:24.079><c> ways.</c>

00:04:24.899 --> 00:04:27.680
That's<00:04:25.279><c> actually</c><00:04:25.639><c> taken</c><00:04:26.040><c> from</c><00:04:26.399><c> 2</c><00:04:26.660><c> Kings</c><00:04:26.939><c> 17,</c>

00:04:28.100 --> 00:04:31.600
when<00:04:28.300><c> God</c><00:04:28.600><c> explained</c><00:04:29.379><c> why</c><00:04:29.860><c> He</c><00:04:30.100><c> had</c><00:04:30.279><c> to</c><00:04:30.600><c> remove</c><00:04:30.860><c> the</c><00:04:31.240><c> northern</c>

know<00:05:22.639><c> that,</c><00:05:22.800><c> you</c><00:05:22.879><c> know,</c>

00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.500
what<00:05:23.220><c> I</c><00:05:23.519><c> said,</c><00:05:23.819><c> it</c><00:05:23.920><c> happened,</c><00:05:24.399><c> it</c><00:05:24.600><c> did</c><00:05:24.939><c> overtake</c><00:05:25.360><c> your</c><00:05:25.579><c> fathers.</c>

00:05:26.620 --> 00:05:29.300
So<00:05:26.839><c> the</c><00:05:27.120><c> people</c><00:05:27.459><c> respond</c><00:05:28.120><c> halfway</c><00:05:28.480><c> through</c><00:05:28.740><c> verse</c><00:05:28.939><c> 6.</c>

00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:30.779
They<00:05:29.740><c> returned</c><00:05:30.180><c> and</c><00:05:30.319><c> they</c><00:05:30.579><c> said,</c>

00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.279
just<00:05:31.459><c> as</c><00:05:31.839><c> Yahweh</c><00:05:32.199><c> of</c><00:05:32.360><c> hosts</c><00:05:32.519><c> is</c><00:05:32.759><c> determined</c><00:05:33.100><c> to</c><00:05:33.300><c> do</c><00:05:33.360><c> to</c><00:05:33.560><c> us</c><00:05:33.699><c> according</c><00:05:34.040><c> to</c>

00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:34.680
our<00:05:34.420><c> ways</c>

00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.860
and<00:05:34.860><c> according</c><00:05:35.160><c> to</c><00:05:35.379><c> our</c><00:05:35.560><c> deeds,</c><00:05:36.360><c> so</c><00:05:36.660><c> He</c><00:05:36.939><c> has</c><00:05:37.259><c> dealt</c><00:05:37.439><c> with</c><00:05:37.639><c> us.</c>

00:05:37.939 --> 00:05:40.040
You're<00:05:38.120><c> right.</c><00:05:38.939><c> He</c><00:05:39.199><c> did.</c><00:05:39.439><c> He</c><00:05:39.560><c> warned</c><00:05:39.819><c> us.</c>

00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:42.480
He<00:05:40.199><c> said</c><00:05:40.360><c> this</c><00:05:40.560><c> is</c><00:05:40.660><c> what</c><00:05:40.779><c> was</c><00:05:40.939><c> going</c><00:05:41.019><c> to</c><00:05:41.240><c> happen,</c><00:05:41.480><c> and</c><00:05:41.680><c> He</c><00:05:41.899><c> did</c><00:05:42.139><c> it.</c>

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.680
He<00:05:43.079><c> did</c><00:05:43.300><c> it</c><00:05:43.480><c> in</c><00:05:43.600><c> the</c><00:05:43.740><c> captivity,</c><00:05:44.540><c> that</c><00:05:44.740><c> God</c><00:05:45.079><c> was</c><00:05:45.379><c> right.</c>

00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.620
And<00:05:46.259><c> so</c><00:05:46.360><c> now</c><00:05:46.579><c> the</c><00:05:46.800><c> people</c><00:05:47.160><c> admit</c><00:05:47.500><c> they've</c><00:05:47.779><c> made</c><00:05:47.920><c> their</c><00:05:48.120><c> mistakes.</c>

00:05:48.980 --> 00:05:51.160
Now<00:05:49.160><c> they're</c><00:05:49.339><c> ready</c><00:05:49.519><c> to</c><00:05:49.779><c> acknowledge</c><00:05:50.199><c> that</c><00:05:50.420><c> God</c><00:05:50.660><c> has</c><00:05:51.000><c> dealt</c>

00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:51.560
with<00:05:51.399><c> them</c>

00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:53.959
according<00:05:51.839><c> to</c><00:05:52.120><c> their</c><00:05:52.319><c> sins,</c><00:05:53.000><c> according</c><00:05:53.279><c> to</c><00:05:53.519><c> the</c><00:05:53.660><c> ways</c><00:05:53.779><c> that</c>

00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:54.519
they<00:05:54.079><c> were</c><00:05:54.199><c> acting,</c>

00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.360
and<00:05:54.839><c> now</c><00:05:55.199><c> there</c><00:05:55.360><c> is</c><00:05:55.579><c> a</c><00:05:55.860><c> basis</c><00:05:56.259><c> for</c><00:05:56.519><c> moving</c><00:05:56.740><c> forward.</c>

00:05:57.779 --> 00:05:59.600
And<00:05:58.019><c> so</c><00:05:58.139><c> we</c><00:05:58.240><c> get</c><00:05:58.379><c> the</c><00:05:58.579><c> first</c><00:05:58.779><c> vision.</c>

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:01.259
Everybody's<00:06:00.339><c> on</c><00:06:00.420><c> the</c><00:06:00.600><c> same</c><00:06:00.839><c> page.</c>

00:06:01.300 --> 00:06:04.240
We<00:06:01.459><c> realize</c><00:06:01.839><c> that</c><00:06:02.279><c> God</c><00:06:02.519><c> was</c><00:06:02.800><c> right.</c><00:06:03.199><c> This</c><00:06:03.459><c> could</c><00:06:03.600><c> happen</c><00:06:03.920><c> again.</c>

00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.540
If<00:06:04.439><c> we</c><00:06:04.620><c> don't</c><00:06:04.819><c> change</c><00:06:05.100><c> our</c><00:06:05.319><c> ways,</c><00:06:05.600><c> we're</c><00:06:05.720><c> going</c><00:06:05.800><c> to</c><00:06:05.860><c> go</c><00:06:06.040><c> right</c><00:06:06.360><c> back</c>

00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:08.579
where<00:06:06.699><c> we</c><00:06:06.860><c> had</c><00:06:07.120><c> started</c><00:06:07.300><c> in</c><00:06:07.500><c> the</c><00:06:07.639><c> captivity.</c>

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:10.860
And<00:06:08.759><c> so</c><00:06:08.899><c> now</c><00:06:09.240><c> He</c><00:06:09.480><c> gives</c><00:06:09.819><c> them,</c><00:06:10.060><c> in</c><00:06:10.319><c> one</c><00:06:10.600><c> night,</c>

00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.959
these<00:06:11.319><c> six</c><00:06:12.420><c> night</c><00:06:12.740><c> visions</c><00:06:13.060><c> that</c><00:06:13.360><c> come</c><00:06:13.579><c> across,</c>

00:06:14.180 --> 00:06:17.120
and<00:06:14.319><c> He</c><00:06:14.480><c> tries</c><00:06:14.740><c> to</c><00:06:14.980><c> get</c><00:06:15.120><c> them</c><00:06:15.339><c> motivated</c><00:06:15.839><c> to</c><00:06:16.060><c> get</c><00:06:16.300><c> working</c><00:06:16.540><c> again</c><00:06:16.899><c> in</c>

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:17.779
God's<00:06:17.519><c> temple.</c>

00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:20.740
Actually,<00:06:18.420><c> there</c><00:06:18.519><c> are</c><00:06:18.959><c> seven</c><00:06:19.240><c> of</c><00:06:19.319><c> them,</c><00:06:20.139><c> but</c><00:06:20.139><c> hopefully</c><00:06:20.420><c> we'll</c><00:06:20.560><c> look</c>

00:06:20.740 --> 00:06:21.800
at<00:06:20.879><c> all</c><00:06:21.079><c> seven.</c>

00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:24.920
So<00:06:22.519><c> in</c><00:06:22.660><c> chapter</c><00:06:22.980><c> 1,</c><00:06:23.519><c> when</c><00:06:23.699><c> Brad</c><00:06:23.920><c> read</c><00:06:24.040><c> through</c><00:06:24.259><c> that</c><00:06:24.379><c> in</c><00:06:24.480><c> verse</c><00:06:24.660><c> 7,</c>

00:06:25.019 --> 00:06:26.639

00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:28.920

00:06:28.980 --> 00:06:29.800
Here's<00:06:29.180><c> what</c><00:06:29.300><c> he</c><00:06:29.480><c> sees.</c>

00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.120
And<00:06:30.540><c> I</c><00:06:31.319><c> copied</c><00:06:31.720><c> these</c><00:06:32.120><c> out</c><00:06:32.240><c> of</c><00:06:32.360><c> some</c><00:06:32.540><c> notes</c><00:06:32.720><c> that</c><00:06:32.920><c> Brother</c>

Bart<00:06:33.339><c> Martholomew</c><00:06:33.879><c> did,</c>

00:06:34.139 --> 00:06:35.980
because<00:06:34.480><c> I</c><00:06:34.800><c> looked</c><00:06:34.959><c> in</c><00:06:35.120><c> our</c><00:06:35.220><c> Christodelfian</c><00:06:35.740><c> writings.</c>

00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.319
I<00:06:36.139><c> didn't</c><00:06:36.319><c> find</c><00:06:36.519><c> very</c><00:06:36.800><c> often</c><00:06:37.079><c> anybody</c><00:06:37.459><c> joining</c><00:06:37.720><c> pictures</c><00:06:38.139><c> of</c>

00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:39.379
these<00:06:38.519><c> visions.</c>

00:06:39.420 --> 00:06:42.000
I<00:06:39.579><c> even</c><00:06:39.699><c> searched</c><00:06:39.980><c> all</c><00:06:40.160><c> over</c><00:06:40.319><c> the</c><00:06:40.480><c> Internet</c><00:06:40.680><c> for</c><00:06:40.920><c> pictures</c><00:06:41.240><c> on</c><00:06:41.560><c> Zechariah.</c>

00:06:42.019 --> 00:06:44.019
I<00:06:42.100><c> didn't</c><00:06:42.139><c> really</c><00:06:42.399><c> find</c><00:06:42.600><c> much</c><00:06:42.839><c> at</c><00:06:43.019><c> all</c><00:06:43.199><c> on</c><00:06:43.339><c> Zechariah.</c>

00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.079
If<00:06:44.459><c> we</c><00:06:44.540><c> have</c><00:06:44.620><c> any</c><00:06:44.800><c> good</c><00:06:45.019><c> artists</c><00:06:45.379><c> in</c><00:06:45.560><c> the</c><00:06:45.720><c> community,</c>

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.360
see,<00:06:46.259><c> that</c><00:06:46.360><c> would</c><00:06:46.519><c> be</c><00:06:46.680><c> a</c><00:06:46.740><c> really</c><00:06:47.060><c> good</c><00:06:47.300><c> talent</c><00:06:47.680><c> if</c><00:06:47.839><c> we</c><00:06:48.000><c> got</c><00:06:48.120><c> some</c><00:06:48.360><c> people</c><00:06:48.540><c> that</c><00:06:48.699><c> can</c><00:06:48.860><c> draw.</c>

00:06:49.699 --> 00:06:51.660
Got<00:06:49.839><c> some</c><00:06:50.040><c> drawers</c><00:06:50.259><c> out</c><00:06:50.540><c> there,</c><00:06:50.819><c> some</c><00:06:51.000><c> of</c><00:06:51.139><c> the</c><00:06:51.199><c> younger</c><00:06:51.379><c> kids</c>

00:06:51.660 --> 00:06:52.740
in<00:06:51.779><c> the</c><00:06:51.939><c> audience</c><00:06:52.160><c> that</c><00:06:52.319><c> can</c><00:06:52.459><c> draw.</c>

00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.259
Draw<00:06:53.399><c> some</c><00:06:53.600><c> of</c><00:06:53.699><c> these</c><00:06:53.899><c> pictures,</c><00:06:54.319><c> you</c><00:06:54.519><c> see,</c><00:06:54.680><c> and</c><00:06:54.879><c> turn</c><00:06:54.980><c> them</c><00:06:55.160><c> in,</c>

00:06:55.259 --> 00:06:57.660
and<00:06:55.339><c> we</c><00:06:55.459><c> could</c><00:06:55.740><c> collect</c><00:06:56.060><c> pictures</c><00:06:56.459><c> of</c><00:06:56.699><c> the</c><00:06:56.860><c> visions.</c>

00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:59.699
So<00:06:58.079><c> if</c><00:06:58.240><c> I</c><00:06:58.360><c> ever</c><00:06:58.480><c> give</c><00:06:58.560><c> this</c><00:06:58.759><c> again,</c><00:06:59.160><c> I'll</c><00:06:59.180><c> have</c><00:06:59.199><c> some</c><00:06:59.439><c> better</c>

00:07:01.259 --> 00:07:02.839
But<00:07:01.660><c> that's</c><00:07:02.060><c> the</c><00:07:02.199><c> basic</c><00:07:02.500><c> idea.</c>

00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:04.079

00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.779
God<00:09:43.460><c> had</c><00:09:43.799><c> sent</c><00:09:43.960><c> his</c><00:09:44.279><c> angels</c><00:09:44.580><c> out</c><00:09:44.879><c> patrolling</c><00:09:45.259><c> the</c><00:09:45.539><c> earth.</c>

00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:03.659

00:26:20.859 --> 00:26:23.519
And<00:26:21.059><c> I</c><00:26:21.220><c> think</c><00:26:21.400><c> what's</c><00:26:21.779><c> happening</c><00:26:22.019><c> in</c><00:26:22.240><c> this</c><00:26:22.500><c> vision</c><00:26:22.779><c> is</c><00:26:23.019><c> God's</c>

And<00:26:56.480><c> you</c><00:26:56.579><c> can</c><00:26:56.759><c> imagine</c><00:26:57.140><c> how</c><00:26:57.319><c> that</c><00:26:57.460><c> would</c><00:26:57.619><c> have</c><00:26:57.700><c> gone</c><00:26:57.859><c> over.</c>

00:27:09.140 --> 00:27:11.279
you<00:27:09.180><c> would</c><00:27:09.400><c> start</c><00:27:09.539><c> seeing,</c><00:27:09.740><c> wow,</c><00:27:10.440><c> that's</c><00:27:10.640><c> just</c><00:27:10.779><c> what</c><00:27:10.839><c> he</c><00:27:11.039><c> said.</c>

00:27:11.579 --> 00:27:12.880
He<00:27:11.759><c> said</c><00:27:11.980><c> he'd</c><00:27:12.339><c> use</c><00:27:12.559><c> us.</c>

00:27:13.059 --> 00:27:15.019

00:27:15.220 --> 00:27:17.720
And<00:27:15.380><c> now</c><00:27:15.500><c> look,</c><00:27:15.900><c> they're</c><00:27:16.559><c> not</c><00:27:16.819><c> allowed</c><00:27:16.980><c> to</c><00:27:17.240><c> stop</c><00:27:17.380><c> the</c><00:27:17.599><c> work.</c>

00:27:17.779 --> 00:27:19.079
They<00:27:17.960><c> can't</c><00:27:18.200><c> even</c><00:27:18.460><c> bother</c><00:27:18.740><c> us.</c>

and<00:33:04.420><c> you</c><00:33:04.539><c> look</c><00:33:04.720><c> at</c><00:33:04.980><c> what</c><00:33:05.500><c> happens</c><00:33:05.880><c> in</c><00:33:06.059><c> this</c><00:33:06.279><c> vision</c><00:33:06.500><c> is</c><00:33:06.720><c> this</c>

00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:07.799
man<00:33:07.180><c> goes</c><00:33:07.420><c> out,</c>

00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:09.759
and<00:33:08.160><c> he's</c><00:33:08.259><c> all</c><00:33:08.420><c> excited,</c><00:33:08.660><c> he's</c><00:33:08.880><c> going</c><00:33:09.039><c> to</c><00:33:09.160><c> measure</c><00:33:09.359><c> Jerusalem</c>

00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:10.839
now,<00:33:09.920><c> he's</c><00:33:10.099><c> got</c><00:33:10.200><c> the</c><00:33:10.400><c> measuring</c><00:33:10.559><c> line.</c>

00:33:11.019 --> 00:33:12.819
We're<00:33:11.180><c> going</c><00:33:11.220><c> to</c><00:33:11.359><c> measure</c><00:33:11.460><c> this</c><00:33:11.799><c> side,</c><00:33:11.940><c> we're</c><00:33:12.039><c> going</c><00:33:12.099><c> to</c><00:33:12.200><c> measure</c><00:33:12.299><c> this</c><00:33:12.559><c> side,</c>

00:33:12.859 --> 00:33:15.339
and<00:33:13.039><c> he's</c><00:33:13.359><c> measuring</c><00:33:13.740><c> the</c><00:33:14.099><c> city</c><00:33:14.359><c> to</c><00:33:14.619><c> build</c><00:33:14.759><c> the</c><00:33:15.019><c> walls,</c>

00:33:15.380 --> 00:33:17.220
because<00:33:15.660><c> this</c><00:33:15.880><c> is</c><00:33:15.980><c> what</c><00:33:16.140><c> the</c><00:33:16.380><c> people</c><00:33:16.559><c> would</c><00:33:16.759><c> be</c><00:33:16.960><c> thinking.</c>

00:33:17.660 --> 00:33:20.200
So<00:33:17.880><c> it's</c><00:33:18.039><c> almost</c><00:33:18.259><c> like</c><00:33:18.460><c> the</c><00:33:18.599><c> Apostle</c><00:33:18.980><c> Paul</c><00:33:19.259><c> anticipating</c><00:33:19.900><c> the</c>

00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:25.339
God<00:33:22.900><c> gives</c><00:33:23.079><c> a</c><00:33:23.299><c> vision</c><00:33:23.500><c> anticipating</c><00:33:24.220><c> what</c><00:33:24.779><c> these</c><00:33:25.000><c> people</c><00:33:25.240><c> are</c>

00:33:25.339 --> 00:33:26.220
going<00:33:25.420><c> to</c><00:33:25.579><c> tell</c><00:33:25.700><c> Zechariah</c>

00:33:26.220 --> 00:33:28.019
that<00:33:26.460><c> we</c><00:33:26.740><c> don't</c><00:33:26.900><c> need</c><00:33:27.039><c> to</c><00:33:27.140><c> finish</c><00:33:27.299><c> the</c><00:33:27.519><c> temple,</c><00:33:27.680><c> we</c><00:33:27.759><c> need</c><00:33:27.920><c> to</c>

00:33:28.019 --> 00:33:28.579
build<00:33:28.119><c> the</c><00:33:28.299><c> walls.</c>

00:33:28.859 --> 00:33:31.099
And<00:33:28.980><c> so</c><00:33:29.099><c> right</c><00:33:29.319><c> up</c><00:33:29.539><c> front</c><00:33:29.640><c> he</c><00:33:29.740><c> says,</c><00:33:30.099><c> look,</c><00:33:30.259><c> you</c><00:33:30.400><c> don't</c><00:33:30.799><c> need</c>

00:33:31.099 --> 00:33:32.920
the<00:33:31.359><c> walls,</c><00:33:31.759><c> I'll</c><00:33:32.160><c> take</c><00:33:32.380><c> care</c><00:33:32.619><c> of</c><00:33:32.759><c> you.</c>

00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:34.359
And<00:33:33.079><c> that's</c><00:33:33.240><c> what</c><00:33:33.400><c> this</c><00:33:33.660><c> vision</c><00:33:33.799><c> was</c><00:33:34.059><c> about.</c>

00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:36.940
So<00:33:34.980><c> the</c><00:33:35.140><c> angel</c><00:33:35.339><c> goes</c><00:33:35.519><c> out,</c><00:33:35.880><c> and</c><00:33:35.880><c> you</c><00:33:35.880><c> see,</c><00:33:36.240><c> and</c><00:33:36.380><c> he</c><00:33:36.440><c> talks</c><00:33:36.740><c> with</c>

00:33:36.940 --> 00:33:38.119
another<00:33:37.160><c> angel</c><00:33:37.440><c> going</c><00:33:37.700><c> out,</c>

00:33:38.299 --> 00:33:40.859
and<00:33:38.380><c> he</c><00:33:38.500><c> says,</c><00:33:38.940><c> run</c><00:33:38.980><c> and</c><00:33:39.180><c> speak</c><00:33:39.400><c> to</c><00:33:39.539><c> that</c><00:33:39.720><c> young</c><00:33:39.960><c> man,</c><00:33:40.279><c> stop</c><00:33:40.599><c> him.</c>

00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:43.039
This<00:33:41.359><c> young</c><00:33:41.579><c> man</c><00:33:41.759><c> is</c><00:33:41.960><c> going</c><00:33:42.099><c> to</c><00:33:42.240><c> measure</c><00:33:42.480><c> Jerusalem</c><00:33:42.859><c> for</c>

these<00:33:43.259><c> walls,</c>

00:33:43.539 --> 00:33:46.079
and<00:33:43.680><c> he</c><00:33:43.819><c> says,</c><00:33:44.160><c> look,</c><00:33:44.519><c> you</c><00:33:44.799><c> tell</c><00:33:45.000><c> that</c><00:33:45.259><c> man,</c>

00:33:49.259 --> 00:33:52.200

00:33:52.259 --> 00:33:56.140
For<00:33:52.500><c> I,</c><00:33:53.339><c> says</c><00:33:53.440><c> the</c><00:33:53.740><c> Lord,</c><00:33:53.980><c> will</c><00:33:54.140><c> be</c><00:33:54.319><c> a</c><00:33:54.640><c> wall</c><00:33:54.859><c> of</c><00:33:55.119><c> fire</c><00:33:55.400><c> around</c><00:33:55.779><c> her,</c>

00:33:56.420 --> 00:33:59.000

00:33:59.019 --> 00:34:00.900
Now<00:33:59.240><c> you</c><00:33:59.299><c> see,</c><00:33:59.420><c> that</c><00:33:59.500><c> would</c><00:33:59.640><c> be</c><00:33:59.839><c> really</c><00:34:00.099><c> important</c><00:34:00.539><c> to</c><00:34:00.720><c> lay</c>

00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:03.920
You<00:34:02.500><c> don't</c><00:34:02.660><c> need</c><00:34:02.799><c> to</c><00:34:02.940><c> worry</c><00:34:03.059><c> about</c><00:34:03.299><c> building</c><00:34:03.420><c> these</c><00:34:03.640><c> walls.</c>

00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:05.359
I'm<00:34:04.339><c> going</c><00:34:04.500><c> to</c><00:34:04.579><c> take</c><00:34:04.740><c> care</c><00:34:04.900><c> of</c><00:34:04.980><c> the</c><00:34:05.119><c> walls.</c>

00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:09.639
And<00:34:09.159><c> he</c><00:34:09.360><c> did.</c>

00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:11.519
He<00:34:10.239><c> did</c><00:34:10.400><c> it</c><00:34:10.519><c> through</c><00:34:10.659><c> the</c><00:34:10.780><c> Persian</c><00:34:11.039><c> government.</c>

00:34:11.659 --> 00:34:13.760
And<00:34:11.739><c> he</c><00:34:11.860><c> set</c><00:34:12.059><c> up,</c><00:34:12.260><c> he</c><00:34:12.260><c> said,</c><00:34:12.500><c> look,</c><00:34:12.840><c> adversaries</c><00:34:13.239><c> can't</c><00:34:13.539><c> touch</c>

00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:14.420

00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:15.960
Whatever<00:34:14.880><c> they</c><00:34:15.119><c> need,</c><00:34:15.420><c> give</c><00:34:15.559><c> it</c><00:34:15.760><c> to</c><00:34:15.860><c> them.</c>

00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:18.400
Whatever<00:34:16.159><c> they</c><00:34:16.360><c> need</c><00:34:16.480><c> to</c><00:34:16.639><c> build</c><00:34:16.760><c> this</c><00:34:17.000><c> temple,</c><00:34:17.380><c> and</c><00:34:17.519><c> he</c><00:34:17.739><c> will</c><00:34:18.019><c> protect.</c>

00:34:18.780 --> 00:34:22.099
That<00:34:18.980><c> was</c><00:34:19.199><c> his</c><00:34:19.519><c> promise</c><00:34:19.880><c> back</c><00:34:20.119><c> here,</c><00:34:20.800><c> and</c><00:34:21.480><c> it</c><00:34:21.639><c> was</c><00:34:21.840><c> actually</c>

00:34:23.900 --> 00:34:26.780
So<00:34:24.059><c> this</c><00:34:24.239><c> is</c><00:34:24.440><c> all</c><00:34:24.719><c> happening</c><00:34:25.019><c> at</c><00:34:25.260><c> the</c><00:34:25.460><c> beginning</c><00:34:25.820><c> of</c><00:34:26.079><c> Ezra</c><00:34:26.340><c> 5,</c>

00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:36.179
So<00:34:33.480><c> immediately,</c><00:34:34.500><c> when</c><00:34:34.800><c> you</c><00:34:34.920><c> look</c><00:34:35.099><c> at</c><00:34:35.179><c> why</c><00:34:35.400><c> Jerusalem</c><00:34:35.760><c> doesn't</c><00:34:36.019><c> need</c>

00:34:37.380 --> 00:34:39.739
He's<00:34:37.639><c> going</c><00:34:37.900><c> to</c><00:34:38.039><c> bless</c><00:34:38.260><c> the</c><00:34:38.400><c> city</c><00:34:38.760><c> with</c><00:34:38.940><c> a</c><00:34:38.980><c> lot</c><00:34:39.119><c> of</c><00:34:39.320><c> people</c><00:34:39.579><c> and</c>

That<00:40:04.219><c> was</c><00:40:04.360><c> like</c><00:40:04.539><c> on</c><00:40:04.659><c> the</c><00:40:04.760><c> way</c><00:40:04.900><c> here.</c>

00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:06.760
You<00:40:05.320><c> know,</c><00:40:05.320><c> we</c><00:40:05.420><c> looked</c><00:40:05.579><c> and</c><00:40:05.699><c> we</c><00:40:05.820><c> said,</c><00:40:05.940><c> well,</c><00:40:06.159><c> the</c><00:40:06.219><c> halls</c><00:40:06.460><c> and</c>

00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:07.500
the<00:40:06.800><c> building</c><00:40:07.219><c> are</c><00:40:07.400><c> going,</c>

00:40:07.500 --> 00:40:08.119
it's<00:40:07.619><c> right</c><00:40:07.780><c> over</c><00:40:07.940><c> there.</c>

00:40:08.139 --> 00:40:10.059
It's<00:40:08.340><c> right</c><00:40:08.599><c> over</c><00:40:08.880><c> those</c><00:40:09.119><c> mountains,</c><00:40:09.559><c> you</c><00:40:09.820><c> see.</c>

00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:12.480
And<00:40:10.480><c> that's</c><00:40:10.760><c> not</c><00:40:10.980><c> real</c><00:40:11.159><c> easy</c><00:40:11.360><c> to</c><00:40:11.539><c> get</c><00:40:11.639><c> there</c><00:40:11.860><c> sometimes</c><00:40:12.340><c> when</c>

00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:13.480
it's<00:40:12.659><c> on</c><00:40:12.800><c> the</c><00:40:12.920><c> other</c><00:40:13.159><c> side.</c>

00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:15.559
This<00:40:13.960><c> is</c><00:40:14.219><c> all</c><00:40:14.420><c> desert</c><00:40:14.800><c> area</c><00:40:15.179><c> in</c><00:40:15.380><c> here.</c>

00:40:15.699 --> 00:40:17.900
And<00:40:15.780><c> so</c><00:40:15.900><c> you</c><00:40:16.079><c> had</c><00:40:16.179><c> to</c><00:40:16.460><c> follow</c><00:40:16.679><c> up</c><00:40:16.900><c> the</c><00:40:17.079><c> Euphrates</c><00:40:17.420><c> River.</c>

00:40:18.280 --> 00:40:20.599
And<00:40:18.519><c> they</c><00:40:18.739><c> think</c><00:40:18.840><c> of</c><00:40:18.980><c> what</c><00:40:19.159><c> happened</c><00:40:19.440><c> with</c><00:40:19.800><c> the</c><00:40:20.079><c> first</c><00:40:20.340><c> trip</c>

00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:22.079
with<00:40:21.260><c> with</c><00:40:21.400><c> just</c><00:40:21.599><c> once</c><00:40:21.760><c> rubble.</c>

00:40:22.099 --> 00:40:24.500
They<00:40:22.280><c> went</c><00:40:22.420><c> all</c><00:40:22.639><c> the</c><00:40:22.699><c> way</c><00:40:22.780><c> up</c><00:40:22.960><c> here</c><00:40:23.079><c> and</c><00:40:23.219><c> came</c><00:40:23.380><c> on</c><00:40:23.579><c> down</c><00:40:23.780><c> to</c><00:40:23.960><c> the</c><00:40:24.139><c> land,</c>

00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:26.719
sort<00:40:24.820><c> of</c><00:40:24.960><c> like</c><00:40:25.139><c> Abraham</c><00:40:25.579><c> did</c><00:40:25.780><c> when</c><00:40:25.920><c> he</c><00:40:26.159><c> stayed</c><00:40:26.239><c> up</c><00:40:26.420><c> in</c><00:40:26.579><c> here</c>

00:40:26.719 --> 00:40:27.800
and<00:40:26.860><c> then</c><00:40:27.000><c> came</c><00:40:27.139><c> down</c><00:40:27.340><c> this</c><00:40:27.619><c> way.</c>

00:40:27.820 --> 00:40:29.980
That<00:40:27.940><c> was</c><00:40:28.139><c> actually</c><00:40:29.000><c> a</c><00:40:29.539><c> longer</c><00:40:29.699><c> way.</c>

00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:32.739
But<00:40:30.139><c> it's</c><00:40:30.519><c> a</c><00:40:30.719><c> safer</c><00:40:30.900><c> way</c><00:40:31.199><c> because</c><00:40:31.500><c> it</c><00:40:31.860><c> was</c><00:40:32.039><c> a</c><00:40:32.320><c> safer</c><00:40:32.480><c> way.</c>

00:40:32.739 --> 00:40:34.900
And<00:40:32.860><c> there's</c><00:40:33.019><c> also</c><00:40:33.320><c> more</c><00:40:33.579><c> food</c><00:40:33.780><c> and</c><00:40:34.019><c> water</c><00:40:34.219><c> that</c><00:40:34.539><c> trip.</c>

00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:38.260
They<00:40:35.539><c> think</c><00:40:35.659><c> that</c><00:40:35.840><c> Ezra</c><00:40:36.119><c> actually</c><00:40:36.360><c> took</c><00:40:36.519><c> the</c><00:40:36.800><c> short</c><00:40:37.000><c> route</c><00:40:37.179><c> right</c><00:40:37.380><c> into</c><00:40:37.639><c> here</c><00:40:37.920><c> when</c><00:40:38.059><c> he</c>

00:40:38.260 --> 00:40:38.880
came<00:40:38.360><c> on</c><00:40:38.579><c> back.</c>

00:40:38.980 --> 00:40:40.360
It<00:40:39.179><c> was</c><00:40:39.340><c> a</c><00:40:39.559><c> dangerous</c><00:40:39.940><c> journey.</c>

00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:42.579
And<00:40:40.579><c> it</c><00:40:40.679><c> was</c><00:40:40.860><c> like</c><00:40:41.219><c> 400</c><00:40:41.619><c> to</c><00:40:41.860><c> 600</c><00:40:42.159><c> miles.</c>

00:40:42.579 --> 00:40:44.579
That<00:40:42.719><c> was</c><00:40:42.980><c> not</c><00:40:43.280><c> an</c><00:40:43.500><c> easy</c><00:40:43.719><c> trip.</c>

00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:47.340
So,<00:40:44.840><c> you</c><00:40:44.960><c> know,</c><00:40:44.980><c> you</c><00:40:45.119><c> wonder,</c><00:40:45.420><c> like,</c><00:40:45.579><c> why</c><00:40:45.800><c> did</c><00:40:45.940><c> they</c><00:40:46.099><c> have</c><00:40:46.340><c> trouble</c><00:40:46.659><c> convincing</c><00:40:47.079><c> the</c>

00:40:47.340 --> 00:40:48.059

00:40:48.360 --> 00:40:49.940
It<00:40:48.579><c> was</c><00:40:48.820><c> not</c><00:40:49.019><c> an</c><00:40:49.179><c> easy</c><00:40:49.360><c> trip</c><00:40:49.519><c> to</c><00:40:49.760><c> make.</c>

00:40:50.059 --> 00:40:52.619
No<00:40:50.199><c> nice</c><00:40:50.519><c> cars</c><00:40:50.880><c> and</c><00:40:51.199><c> all</c><00:40:51.500><c> this</c><00:40:51.639><c> kind</c><00:40:51.800><c> of</c><00:40:51.940><c> stuff</c><00:40:52.059><c> and</c><00:40:52.219><c> airplanes.</c>

00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:55.300
And<00:40:53.280><c> it</c><00:40:53.559><c> was</c><00:40:53.760><c> a</c><00:40:54.000><c> rough</c><00:40:54.159><c> journey</c><00:40:54.440><c> to</c><00:40:54.619><c> come</c><00:40:54.760><c> on</c><00:40:54.960><c> back.</c>

00:40:55.800 --> 00:40:58.199
So<00:40:55.960><c> why</c><00:40:56.300><c> didn't</c><00:40:56.500><c> these</c><00:40:56.760><c> Jews</c><00:40:56.940><c> want</c><00:40:57.159><c> to</c><00:40:57.320><c> return?</c>

00:40:58.219 --> 00:41:00.219
Well,<00:40:58.840><c> it's</c><00:40:58.940><c> a</c><00:40:58.940><c> lot</c><00:40:59.079><c> easier</c><00:40:59.400><c> to</c><00:40:59.619><c> stay</c><00:40:59.719><c> in</c><00:40:59.860><c> Persia.</c>

00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:02.860
They'd<00:41:00.679><c> been</c><00:41:00.780><c> up</c><00:41:00.960><c> there</c><00:41:01.159><c> 70</c><00:41:01.460><c> years</c><00:41:01.780><c> and</c><00:41:01.920><c> they</c><00:41:02.340><c> settled</c><00:41:02.579><c> into</c>

00:41:02.860 --> 00:41:03.960
the<00:41:03.099><c> land,</c>

00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:06.219
especially,<00:41:04.480><c> you</c><00:41:04.719><c> see,</c><00:41:05.079><c> the</c><00:41:05.260><c> Levites.</c>

00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:08.179
Why<00:41:06.559><c> would</c><00:41:06.719><c> the</c><00:41:06.940><c> Levites</c><00:41:07.260><c> settle</c><00:41:07.539><c> in</c><00:41:07.699><c> so</c><00:41:07.960><c> well?</c>

00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:10.400
They<00:41:08.619><c> were</c><00:41:08.800><c> the</c><00:41:09.059><c> educated</c><00:41:09.500><c> amongst</c><00:41:09.880><c> the</c><00:41:10.159><c> Jews.</c>

00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:13.639
They<00:41:11.000><c> were</c><00:41:11.199><c> the</c><00:41:11.320><c> ones</c><00:41:11.539><c> who</c><00:41:11.800><c> knew</c><00:41:12.039><c> and</c><00:41:12.300><c> they</c><00:41:12.500><c> were</c><00:41:12.719><c> in</c><00:41:13.059><c> demand</c>

And<00:41:15.860><c> they</c><00:41:15.980><c> had</c><00:41:16.300><c> gotten</c><00:41:16.480><c> themselves</c><00:41:16.980><c> into</c><00:41:17.199><c> really</c><00:41:17.559><c> nice</c><00:41:17.900><c> cushy</c><00:41:18.239><c> jobs.</c>
