00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:56.059
He<00:08:50.720><c> says</c><00:08:51.059><c> that</c><00:08:53.159><c> Jeconiah</c><00:08:53.620><c> was</c><00:08:54.000><c> treated</c><00:08:54.559><c> faithfully</c><00:08:55.179><c> and</c><00:08:55.500><c> well</c>

lifted<00:09:00.299><c> up.</c>

00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.879
We<00:09:02.019><c> generally</c><00:09:02.279><c> think</c><00:09:02.480><c> that</c><00:09:02.820><c> Ezekiel</c><00:09:03.279><c> was</c><00:09:03.559><c> taken</c><00:09:04.100><c> captive</c><00:09:04.539><c> at</c>

00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:23.980
I'll<00:09:21.460><c> just</c><00:09:21.600><c> put</c><00:09:21.700><c> this</c><00:09:21.919><c> little</c><00:09:22.200><c> chart</c><00:09:22.440><c> on</c><00:09:23.159><c> the</c><00:09:23.360><c> screen</c><00:09:23.659><c> there</c>

00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.820
It's<00:09:28.539><c> worth</c><00:09:28.860><c> just</c><00:09:29.539><c> making</c><00:09:29.820><c> sure</c><00:09:30.220><c> we've</c><00:09:30.620><c> got</c><00:09:30.840><c> it.</c>

00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:33.799
You<00:26:31.400><c> can</c><00:26:31.819><c> still</c><00:26:32.279><c> survive</c><00:26:32.960><c> this,</c><00:26:33.299><c> Zedekiah.</c>

00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:36.900
You<00:26:34.539><c> need</c><00:26:34.779><c> to</c><00:26:35.299><c> follow</c><00:26:35.599><c> the</c><00:26:35.819><c> will</c><00:26:35.920><c> of</c><00:26:36.119><c> the</c><00:26:36.299><c> all</c><00:26:36.440><c>-mighty,</c>

00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:44.519
So<00:26:42.180><c> this</c><00:26:42.319><c> is</c><00:26:42.519><c> Jeremiah's</c><00:26:43.160><c> conversation</c><00:26:43.680><c> with</c><00:26:43.900><c> Zedekiah</c>

00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:02.920
This<00:27:01.059><c> is</c><00:27:01.240><c> a</c><00:27:01.339><c> difficult</c><00:27:01.660><c> chapter,</c><00:27:02.160><c> isn't</c><00:27:02.279><c> it?</c>

00:27:03.059 --> 00:27:09.539
Because<00:27:03.900><c> false</c><00:27:04.380><c> prophets</c><00:27:05.000><c> are</c><00:27:05.619><c> trying</c><00:27:06.059><c> to</c><00:27:06.680><c> decry</c><00:27:08.140><c> Jeremiah,</c>

This<00:28:14.359><c> is</c><00:28:14.539><c> what</c><00:28:14.720><c> the</c><00:28:14.960><c> Lord</c><00:28:15.200><c> says.</c>

00:28:17.420 --> 00:28:19.079
I<00:28:17.660><c> wonder</c><00:28:17.779><c> if</c><00:28:17.880><c> you've</c><00:28:18.079><c> ever</c><00:28:18.299><c> encountered</c><00:28:18.759><c> that,</c>

00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:22.720
where<00:28:19.240><c> you're</c><00:28:19.859><c> faced</c><00:28:20.220><c> with</c><00:28:20.559><c> two</c><00:28:20.839><c> things</c><00:28:21.119><c> which</c><00:28:21.500><c> seem</c><00:28:21.779><c> to</c><00:28:22.079><c> be</c>

00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:23.759
God's<00:28:23.380><c> instruction.</c>

00:28:24.140 --> 00:28:25.880
Which<00:28:24.559><c> does</c><00:28:24.779><c> the</c><00:28:24.920><c> Lord</c><00:28:25.019><c> want</c><00:28:25.200><c> me</c><00:28:25.380><c> to</c><00:28:25.519><c> do</c><00:28:25.700><c> here?</c>

00:28:25.900 --> 00:28:28.700
Which<00:28:26.119><c> one's</c><00:28:26.559><c> right?</c><00:28:27.059><c> Which</c><00:28:27.259><c> one</c><00:28:27.460><c> is</c><00:28:27.759><c> truth?</c>

00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:32.339
And<00:28:29.299><c> of</c><00:28:29.460><c> course,</c><00:28:29.599><c> one</c><00:28:29.720><c> can</c><00:28:29.880><c> only</c><00:28:30.140><c> think</c><00:28:31.140><c> that</c><00:28:31.519><c> on</c><00:28:31.660><c> a</c><00:28:31.859><c> time</c><00:28:32.059><c> such</c>

00:28:32.339 --> 00:28:33.119
as<00:28:32.680><c> this,</c>

00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.299
they<00:28:33.619><c> would</c><00:28:33.859><c> have</c><00:28:34.059><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:28:34.940><c> 18</c><00:28:35.680><c> in</c><00:28:36.019><c> mind.</c>

00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:39.099
If<00:28:36.680><c> it</c><00:28:36.839><c> comes</c><00:28:37.119><c> to</c><00:28:37.400><c> pass,</c><00:28:37.680><c> if</c><00:28:37.920><c> what</c><00:28:38.099><c> the</c><00:28:38.319><c> prophet</c><00:28:38.480><c> says</c><00:28:38.819><c> comes</c>

00:28:39.099 --> 00:28:39.740
to<00:28:39.359><c> pass,</c>

00:28:39.740 --> 00:28:41.539
then<00:28:40.440><c> he</c><00:28:40.720><c> is</c><00:28:41.000><c> speaking</c><00:28:41.259><c> truth.</c>

00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:46.319
If<00:28:41.700><c> it</c><00:28:41.940><c> doesn't</c><00:28:42.160><c> come</c><00:28:42.440><c> to</c><00:28:42.640><c> pass,</c><00:28:43.319><c> then</c><00:28:43.599><c> he</c><00:28:43.859><c> is</c><00:28:44.119><c> not</c><00:28:44.640><c> speaking</c><00:28:45.240><c> truth.</c>

00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:51.200
And<00:28:46.700><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:28:48.279><c> in</c><00:28:48.519><c> verse</c><00:28:48.839><c> 6,</c><00:28:49.240><c> once</c><00:28:49.440><c> he's</c><00:28:49.740><c> listened</c><00:28:50.059><c> to</c><00:28:50.359><c> Hananiah</c><00:28:50.920><c> and</c>

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:52.099
his<00:28:51.500><c> message,</c>

00:28:52.460 --> 00:28:55.480
he<00:28:52.599><c> says,</c><00:28:53.619><c> even</c><00:28:53.819><c> the</c><00:28:54.000><c> prophet</c><00:28:54.180><c> Jeremiah</c><00:28:54.619><c> said,</c>

00:28:55.779 --> 00:28:57.720
Amen,<00:28:56.460><c> the</c><00:28:56.720><c> Lord</c><00:28:57.119><c> do</c><00:28:57.460><c> so.</c>

00:28:57.940 --> 00:29:01.539
The<00:28:57.940><c> Lord</c><00:28:58.319><c> perform</c><00:28:58.880><c> thy</c><00:28:59.220><c> words</c><00:28:59.880><c> which</c><00:29:00.400><c> thou</c><00:29:00.640><c> hast</c><00:29:00.920><c> prophesied</c>

00:29:01.539 --> 00:29:03.819
to<00:29:01.740><c> bring</c><00:29:01.940><c> again</c><00:29:02.240><c> the</c><00:29:02.460><c> vessels</c><00:29:02.799><c> of</c><00:29:03.339><c> the</c><00:29:03.500><c> Lord's</c><00:29:03.779><c> house.</c>

00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:06.480
Now<00:29:04.000><c> that's</c><00:29:04.160><c> not</c><00:29:04.299><c> Jeremiah</c><00:29:04.759><c> suddenly</c><00:29:05.079><c> falling</c><00:29:05.440><c> in</c><00:29:05.660><c> line</c><00:29:05.799><c> with</c><00:29:06.019><c> Hananiah</c>

00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:07.440
and<00:29:06.660><c> changing</c><00:29:06.900><c> his</c><00:29:07.160><c> message.</c>

00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:09.960
That's<00:29:08.140><c> Jeremiah</c><00:29:08.460><c> saying,</c><00:29:09.140><c> well,</c><00:29:09.200><c> it</c><00:29:09.259><c> would</c><00:29:09.440><c> be</c><00:29:09.640><c> great</c><00:29:09.819><c> if</c>

00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:10.759
that<00:29:10.180><c> was</c><00:29:10.440><c> so.</c>

00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:12.640
I'd<00:29:11.259><c> love</c><00:29:11.400><c> it</c><00:29:11.640><c> if</c><00:29:11.720><c> it</c><00:29:11.920><c> was</c><00:29:12.079><c> like</c><00:29:12.420><c> that.</c>

00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:16.500
I'd<00:29:13.000><c> be</c><00:29:13.359><c> over</c><00:29:14.059><c> the</c><00:29:14.259><c> moon</c><00:29:14.640><c> if</c><00:29:15.240><c> it</c><00:29:15.460><c> was</c><00:29:15.660><c> just</c><00:29:15.960><c> two</c><00:29:16.240><c> years</c>

00:29:16.500 --> 00:29:18.700
and<00:29:16.660><c> everyone</c><00:29:16.900><c> was</c><00:29:17.180><c> back</c><00:29:17.400><c> and</c><00:29:17.480><c> it</c><00:29:17.599><c> was</c><00:29:17.799><c> all</c><00:29:18.000><c> sorted</c><00:29:18.240><c> out.</c>

00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:20.099
That's<00:29:19.160><c> what</c><00:29:19.339><c> Jeremiah</c><00:29:19.779><c> says.</c>

00:29:20.299 --> 00:29:22.440
But<00:29:20.480><c> that's</c><00:29:20.779><c> not</c><00:29:21.000><c> what</c><00:29:21.140><c> the</c><00:29:21.279><c> word</c><00:29:21.400><c> of</c><00:29:21.539><c> the</c><00:29:21.680><c> Lord</c><00:29:21.819><c> is</c><00:29:22.019><c> about.</c>

00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:25.720
That's<00:29:23.000><c> not</c><00:29:23.180><c> what</c><00:29:23.319><c> the</c><00:29:23.480><c> word</c><00:29:23.599><c> of</c><00:29:23.779><c> the</c><00:29:23.940><c> Lord</c><00:29:24.200><c> is</c><00:29:24.859><c> saying</c><00:29:25.200><c> to</c><00:29:25.500><c> us.</c>

00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:31.660
So<00:29:26.259><c> Jeremiah</c><00:29:26.859><c> makes</c><00:29:27.500><c> it</c><00:29:27.700><c> absolutely</c><00:29:28.160><c> clear</c><00:29:28.980><c> that</c><00:29:29.720><c> the</c><00:29:29.920><c> people,</c><00:29:31.339><c> sorry,</c>

00:29:31.779 --> 00:29:34.519
that<00:29:31.900><c> this</c><00:29:32.140><c> captivity</c><00:29:32.539><c> would</c><00:29:32.960><c> come</c><00:29:33.200><c> and</c><00:29:33.559><c> will</c><00:29:33.759><c> be</c><00:29:34.019><c> lasting</c>

00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:39.480
and<00:29:35.099><c> the</c><00:29:35.400><c> people</c><00:29:36.299><c> should</c><00:29:36.940><c> judge</c><00:29:37.619><c> by</c><00:29:38.359><c> what</c><00:29:38.720><c> happens.</c>

00:29:39.980 --> 00:29:43.259
If<00:29:40.140><c> Hananiah's</c><00:29:41.039><c> prophecy</c><00:29:41.240><c> comes</c><00:29:41.660><c> true,</c><00:29:42.299><c> then</c><00:29:42.460><c> so</c><00:29:42.680><c> be</c><00:29:42.880><c> it.</c>

00:29:43.500 --> 00:29:45.099
If<00:29:43.640><c> Jeremiah's</c><00:29:44.240><c> prophecy</c><00:29:44.519><c> come</c><00:29:44.779><c> true,</c>

00:29:45.180 --> 00:29:47.480
then<00:29:45.279><c> they</c><00:29:45.460><c> would</c><00:29:45.660><c> know</c><00:29:45.799><c> he</c><00:29:45.980><c> was</c><00:29:46.200><c> speaking</c><00:29:46.559><c> the</c><00:29:46.779><c> word</c><00:29:47.000><c> of</c><00:29:47.180><c> the</c><00:29:47.339><c> Lord.</c>

00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:51.619
And<00:29:47.640><c> that's</c><00:29:47.819><c> what</c><00:29:49.019><c> he</c><00:29:49.319><c> lays</c><00:29:49.480><c> before</c><00:29:49.880><c> them</c><00:29:50.039><c> in</c><00:29:50.220><c> verse</c><00:29:50.559><c> 9,</c><00:29:51.000><c> this</c><00:29:51.259><c> choice.</c>

00:29:52.099 --> 00:29:54.160
The<00:29:52.220><c> prophet</c><00:29:52.539><c> which</c><00:29:53.079><c> prophesieth</c><00:29:53.579><c> of</c><00:29:53.900><c> peace,</c>

00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:57.359
when<00:29:54.440><c> the</c><00:29:54.619><c> word</c><00:29:54.779><c> of</c><00:29:54.960><c> the</c><00:29:55.180><c> prophet</c><00:29:55.359><c> shall</c><00:29:55.579><c> come</c><00:29:56.019><c> to</c><00:29:56.359><c> pass,</c>

00:29:57.380 --> 00:29:59.839
then<00:29:57.599><c> shall</c><00:29:57.839><c> the</c><00:29:58.059><c> prophet</c><00:29:58.259><c> be</c><00:29:58.519><c> known</c><00:29:58.700><c> that</c><00:29:58.920><c> the</c><00:29:59.099><c> Lord</c><00:29:59.319><c> has</c>

00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:01.900
truly<00:30:00.359><c> sent</c><00:30:00.920><c> him.</c>

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:06.180
So<00:30:03.519><c> Jeremiah</c><00:30:04.059><c> is</c><00:30:04.359><c> laying</c><00:30:04.579><c> before</c><00:30:04.980><c> these</c><00:30:05.240><c> people</c><00:30:05.640><c> Deuteronomy</c>

00:30:06.180 --> 00:30:06.859
chapter<00:30:06.559><c> 18.</c>

00:30:07.019 --> 00:30:11.119
We've<00:30:07.079><c> already</c><00:30:07.339><c> said</c><00:30:07.539><c> how</c><00:30:08.380><c> influential</c><00:30:09.920><c> the</c><00:30:10.119><c> book</c><00:30:10.299><c> of</c><00:30:10.460><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:30:10.900><c> was</c>

00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:12.339
in<00:30:11.299><c> the</c><00:30:11.480><c> prophecy</c><00:30:11.740><c> of</c><00:30:12.019><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:30:12.500 --> 00:30:13.480
Here<00:30:12.619><c> he's</c><00:30:12.759><c> laying</c><00:30:12.940><c> it</c><00:30:13.119><c> before</c><00:30:13.319><c> them.</c>

00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:16.019
Well,<00:30:13.900><c> if</c><00:30:14.000><c> he's</c><00:30:14.319><c> speaking</c><00:30:14.559><c> peace</c><00:30:14.880><c> and</c><00:30:15.039><c> peace</c><00:30:15.259><c> comes</c><00:30:15.500><c> to</c><00:30:15.740><c> pass,</c>

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:18.380
then<00:30:16.400><c> you</c><00:30:16.519><c> know</c><00:30:16.660><c> he's</c><00:30:16.980><c> speaking</c><00:30:17.359><c> truth.</c>

00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:21.579
You<00:30:19.599><c> might</c><00:30:19.779><c> remember</c><00:30:20.039><c> the</c><00:30:20.339><c> drama</c><00:30:20.680><c> of</c><00:30:20.980><c> the</c><00:30:21.160><c> moment.</c>

00:30:21.819 --> 00:30:26.059
Hananiah<00:30:22.259><c> then</c><00:30:22.539><c> comes</c><00:30:22.859><c> along</c><00:30:23.259><c> and</c><00:30:23.440><c> he</c><00:30:23.720><c> breaks</c><00:30:24.000><c> this</c><00:30:24.380><c> yoke</c><00:30:24.940><c> off</c>

00:30:26.059 --> 00:30:27.059
Jeremiah's<00:30:26.900><c> neck,</c>

00:30:27.220 --> 00:30:30.200
this<00:30:27.599><c> self</c><00:30:27.940><c>-imposed</c><00:30:28.640><c> yoke</c><00:30:29.019><c> where</c><00:30:29.259><c> Jeremiah</c><00:30:29.640><c> was</c><00:30:29.940><c> saying</c>

00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:31.599
we're<00:30:30.460><c> going</c><00:30:30.619><c> to</c><00:30:30.740><c> be</c><00:30:30.900><c> in</c><00:30:31.059><c> bondage.</c>

00:30:31.819 --> 00:30:33.740
Well,<00:30:31.960><c> Hananiah</c><00:30:32.259><c> removes</c><00:30:32.680><c> it</c><00:30:32.900><c> and</c><00:30:33.079><c> breaks</c><00:30:33.299><c> it</c><00:30:33.539><c> and</c><00:30:33.579><c> says,</c>

00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:36.940
there<00:30:33.980><c> you</c><00:30:34.220><c> are,</c><00:30:34.460><c> you</c><00:30:34.539><c> see,</c><00:30:34.980><c> this</c><00:30:35.240><c> captivity</c><00:30:35.720><c> will</c><00:30:35.920><c> be</c><00:30:36.119><c> broken.</c>

00:30:37.019 --> 00:30:39.640
So<00:30:37.180><c> Jeremiah</c><00:30:37.579><c> replaces</c><00:30:38.079><c> them</c><00:30:38.319><c> with</c><00:30:38.680><c> iron</c><00:30:39.099><c> ones</c>

00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:41.740

00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:44.240
this<00:30:42.480><c> is</c><00:30:42.740><c> how</c><00:30:42.940><c> secure</c><00:30:43.279><c> it's</c><00:30:43.559><c> going</c><00:30:43.740><c> to</c><00:30:44.000><c> be.</c>

00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:48.799

00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:57.779
And,<00:30:55.200><c> of</c><00:30:55.400><c> course,</c><00:30:55.539><c> we're</c><00:30:55.839><c> introduced</c><00:30:56.220><c> to</c><00:30:56.400><c> him</c><00:30:56.539><c> in</c><00:30:56.799><c> the</c><00:30:57.299><c> fifth</c>

00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:02.559
So<00:30:59.480><c> over</c><00:30:59.920><c> a</c><00:31:00.119><c> two</c><00:31:00.240><c>-month</c><00:31:00.480><c> period</c><00:31:01.039><c> Hananiah</c><00:31:01.859><c> doesn't</c><00:31:02.200><c> even</c><00:31:02.420><c> get</c>

00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:14.319
So<00:31:10.960><c> this</c><00:31:11.640><c> is</c><00:31:11.880><c> the</c><00:31:12.160><c> kind</c><00:31:12.480><c> of</c><00:31:12.720><c> thing</c><00:31:12.920><c> that</c><00:31:13.220><c> Jeremiah</c><00:31:13.539><c> was</c><00:31:13.779><c> up</c><00:31:13.980><c> against,</c>

populist<00:31:19.160><c> message.</c>

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:23.940
And<00:31:20.480><c> the</c><00:31:20.680><c> crowd</c><00:31:20.940><c> would</c><00:31:21.240><c> be</c><00:31:21.559><c> really</c><00:31:22.500><c> swayed</c><00:31:23.059><c> towards</c><00:31:23.559><c> the</c>

00:31:23.940 --> 00:31:25.279
popular<00:31:24.539><c> message</c>

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:28.539
and<00:31:25.940><c> it</c><00:31:26.119><c> would</c><00:31:26.339><c> be</c><00:31:26.539><c> difficult</c><00:31:26.900><c> for</c><00:31:27.200><c> Jeremiah</c><00:31:27.559><c> to</c><00:31:27.799><c> hold</c><00:31:28.140><c> on</c><00:31:28.380><c> to</c>

00:31:28.539 --> 00:31:29.380
the<00:31:28.700><c> word</c><00:31:28.900><c> of</c><00:31:29.220><c> truth</c>

00:31:29.380 --> 00:31:33.460

00:31:33.940 --> 00:31:36.299
And<00:31:34.119><c> perhaps</c><00:31:34.279><c> we</c><00:31:34.460><c> can</c><00:31:34.640><c> all</c><00:31:34.880><c> relate</c><00:31:35.220><c> to</c><00:31:35.460><c> that.</c>

00:31:36.339 --> 00:31:40.000

00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:40.779

00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:42.480

00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:43.740
This<00:31:42.799><c> is</c><00:31:42.960><c> what</c><00:31:43.079><c> he's</c><00:31:43.440><c> revealed.</c>

00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:46.059
This<00:31:44.099><c> is</c><00:31:44.259><c> what</c><00:31:44.400><c> we</c><00:31:44.559><c> must</c><00:31:44.779><c> communicate.</c>

00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:47.500
And<00:31:46.619><c> Jeremiah</c><00:31:47.059><c> blessed</c><00:31:47.319><c> him.</c>

00:31:47.700 --> 00:31:50.460
He<00:31:47.700><c> stuck</c><00:31:47.920><c> with</c><00:31:48.160><c> that</c><00:31:48.480><c> task</c><00:31:48.960><c> through</c><00:31:49.619><c> thick</c><00:31:49.880><c> and</c><00:31:50.220><c> thin</c>

00:31:50.460 --> 00:31:53.400

00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:59.559
We<00:31:55.079><c> then</c><00:31:55.359><c> get</c><00:31:55.599><c> into</c><00:31:56.559><c> the</c><00:31:56.799><c> ninth</c><00:31:57.240><c> year</c><00:31:57.839><c> of</c><00:31:58.180><c> Zedekiah's</c><00:31:58.940><c> reign.</c>

00:31:59.579 --> 00:32:03.240
Seemingly<00:32:00.099><c> there's</c><00:32:00.660><c> a</c><00:32:00.960><c> quiet</c><00:32:01.200><c> period</c><00:32:01.720><c> now</c><00:32:02.079><c> from</c><00:32:02.319><c> these</c><00:32:02.940><c> early</c>

00:32:33.180 --> 00:32:35.059
Perhaps<00:32:33.480><c> God</c><00:32:33.720><c> didn't</c><00:32:34.000><c> really</c><00:32:34.359><c> mean</c><00:32:34.519><c> it.</c>

00:32:35.460 --> 00:32:38.420
And<00:32:35.799><c> we</c><00:32:35.940><c> can</c><00:32:36.099><c> get</c><00:32:36.380><c> a</c><00:32:36.599><c> little</c><00:32:36.759><c> bit</c><00:32:37.000><c> relaxed</c><00:32:37.380><c> and</c><00:32:37.559><c> a</c><00:32:37.680><c> little</c><00:32:37.839><c> bit</c><00:32:38.140><c> soft</c>

00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:44.359

Maybe<00:32:53.420><c> it</c><00:32:54.380><c> led</c><00:32:54.640><c> to</c><00:32:54.900><c> people</c><00:32:55.180><c> thinking,</c>

00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:58.299
well,<00:32:56.480><c> perhaps</c><00:32:56.700><c> we</c><00:32:56.799><c> don't</c><00:32:56.980><c> have</c><00:32:57.200><c> to</c><00:32:57.359><c> worry</c><00:32:57.599><c> about</c><00:32:57.980><c> Babylon.</c>

00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:02.759
Perhaps,<00:32:58.839><c> actually,</c><00:32:59.380><c> if</c><00:32:59.559><c> we</c><00:32:59.700><c> just</c><00:33:00.599><c> gathered</c><00:33:01.799><c> our</c><00:33:02.140><c> resources</c>

00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:05.599
and<00:33:03.359><c> organized</c><00:33:03.839><c> ourselves,</c><00:33:04.539><c> we</c><00:33:04.720><c> could</c><00:33:05.039><c> rebel.</c>

00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:09.380
And<00:33:06.319><c> we</c><00:33:06.460><c> could</c><00:33:06.740><c> repel</c><00:33:07.099><c> any</c><00:33:07.400><c> particular</c><00:33:07.960><c> invasion</c><00:33:08.619><c> that</c><00:33:08.960><c> came</c>

00:33:09.380 --> 00:33:10.740
from<00:33:10.119><c> Babylon.</c>

00:33:10.740 --> 00:33:15.740
And<00:33:11.460><c> indeed,</c><00:33:12.740><c> in</c><00:33:12.920><c> the</c><00:33:13.099><c> latter</c><00:33:13.920><c> years</c><00:33:14.859><c> of</c><00:33:15.160><c> Zedekiah's</c><00:33:15.599><c> reign,</c>

00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:16.960
there<00:33:15.960><c> was</c><00:33:16.319><c> rebellion.</c>

00:33:17.099 --> 00:33:19.759
People<00:33:17.460><c> saying,</c><00:33:17.880><c> no,</c><00:33:18.079><c> no,</c><00:33:18.220><c> we</c><00:33:18.299><c> don't</c><00:33:18.539><c> want</c><00:33:18.720><c> to</c><00:33:18.839><c> fall</c><00:33:19.119><c> in</c><00:33:19.259><c> with</c><00:33:19.480><c> Babylon.</c>

00:33:19.859 --> 00:33:22.559
We<00:33:19.920><c> don't</c><00:33:20.079><c> want</c><00:33:20.200><c> to</c><00:33:20.279><c> be</c><00:33:20.680><c> a</c><00:33:20.940><c> vassal</c><00:33:21.440><c> state</c><00:33:21.799><c> for</c><00:33:22.079><c> Babylon.</c>

00:33:22.859 --> 00:33:25.240
We<00:33:23.200><c> can</c><00:33:23.400><c> do</c><00:33:23.539><c> this</c><00:33:23.680><c> on</c><00:33:23.900><c> our</c><00:33:24.180><c> own.</c>

00:33:25.619 --> 00:33:26.640
Independence.

00:33:26.740 --> 00:33:29.359
We<00:33:26.880><c> are</c><00:33:27.059><c> very</c><00:33:27.259><c> familiar</c><00:33:27.579><c> with</c><00:33:27.859><c> independence</c><00:33:28.500><c> in</c><00:33:28.759><c> the</c><00:33:28.900><c> UK</c><00:33:29.160><c> at</c>

00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:30.380
the<00:33:29.500><c> moment.</c>

00:33:30.420 --> 00:33:32.759
That<00:33:30.460><c> was</c><00:33:31.299><c> the</c><00:33:31.480><c> sentiment</c><00:33:31.920><c> going</c><00:33:32.220><c> on</c><00:33:32.519><c> here.</c>

00:33:33.019 --> 00:33:35.920
We'll<00:33:33.440><c> vote</c><00:33:33.759><c> to</c><00:33:34.059><c> break</c><00:33:34.299><c> away</c><00:33:34.579><c> from</c><00:33:34.920><c> Babylon.</c>

00:33:35.980 --> 00:33:39.759
Is<00:33:36.500><c> this</c><00:33:36.799><c> a</c><00:33:36.900><c> Jexit?</c><00:33:37.539><c> I</c><00:33:37.799><c> don't</c><00:33:38.019><c> know,</c><00:33:38.279><c> but</c><00:33:38.500><c> here</c><00:33:38.740><c> we</c><00:33:38.940><c> are.</c>

00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:42.079
And<00:33:40.839><c> here</c><00:33:41.480><c> they</c><00:33:41.720><c> are</c><00:33:41.900><c> then.</c>

00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:46.200
They're<00:33:42.220><c> not</c><00:33:42.380><c> going</c><00:33:42.480><c> to</c><00:33:42.559><c> have</c><00:33:42.700><c> anything</c><00:33:42.980><c> to</c><00:33:43.240><c> do</c><00:33:43.839><c> with</c><00:33:45.160><c> Babylon.</c>

00:33:46.940 --> 00:33:52.140
So,<00:33:47.480><c> eventually,</c><00:33:48.279><c> Nebuchadnezzar,</c><00:33:49.500><c> he</c><00:33:49.980><c> loses</c><00:33:50.400><c> his</c><00:33:50.940><c> patience</c>

00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:58.160
and<00:33:55.559><c> he</c><00:33:56.200><c> starts</c><00:33:56.839><c> to</c><00:33:57.119><c> come</c><00:33:57.240><c> against</c><00:33:57.640><c> the</c><00:33:57.859><c> land.</c>

00:33:58.500 --> 00:34:01.359
And<00:33:58.619><c> if</c><00:33:58.700><c> we</c><00:33:58.799><c> go</c><00:33:58.940><c> back</c><00:33:59.099><c> to</c><00:33:59.279><c> chapter</c><00:33:59.599><c> 21,</c><00:34:00.960><c> please,</c>

00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:07.960
Zedekiah<00:34:02.220><c> is</c><00:34:02.460><c> now</c><00:34:02.880><c> rather</c><00:34:03.380><c> alarmed</c><00:34:04.680><c> that</c><00:34:06.119><c> Babylon</c><00:34:07.380><c> is</c><00:34:07.680><c> coming</c>

00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:11.340
against<00:34:09.099><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:15.539
And<00:34:12.320><c> he</c><00:34:12.420><c> goes</c><00:34:12.639><c> to</c><00:34:12.920><c> seek</c><00:34:13.159><c> Jeremiah's</c><00:34:13.980><c> opinion,</c><00:34:14.519><c> doesn't</c><00:34:14.980><c> he?</c>

00:34:15.900 --> 00:34:17.340
In<00:34:16.280><c> private.</c>

00:34:17.579 --> 00:34:19.400
Jeremiah<00:34:18.019><c> 21.</c>

00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:35.559
For<00:34:32.920><c> Nebuchadnezzar,</c><00:34:33.460><c> king</c><00:34:33.619><c> of</c><00:34:33.780><c> Babylon,</c><00:34:34.400><c> maketh</c><00:34:34.539><c> war</c><00:34:34.880><c> against</c><00:34:35.280><c> us,</c>

00:34:35.780 --> 00:34:38.679
if<00:34:36.019><c> so</c><00:34:36.280><c> be</c><00:34:36.519><c> that</c><00:34:36.739><c> the</c><00:34:36.980><c> Lord</c><00:34:37.179><c> will</c><00:34:37.519><c> deal</c><00:34:37.760><c> with</c><00:34:37.960><c> us</c><00:34:38.119><c> according</c><00:34:38.420><c> to</c>

00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:39.980
all<00:34:38.840><c> his</c><00:34:39.099><c> wondrous</c><00:34:39.579><c> works,</c>

00:34:39.980 --> 00:34:42.280
that<00:34:40.159><c> he</c><00:34:40.360><c> may</c><00:34:40.559><c> go</c><00:34:40.800><c> up</c><00:34:41.059><c> from</c><00:34:41.340><c> us.</c>

00:34:42.659 --> 00:34:45.980
So,<00:34:43.059><c> having</c><00:34:43.219><c> rebelled,</c><00:34:44.380><c> and</c><00:34:44.760><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:34:45.440><c> is</c><00:34:45.559><c> now</c><00:34:45.760><c> making</c>

a<00:34:46.239><c> move</c><00:34:46.480><c> towards</c><00:34:47.179><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:53.460
Zedekiah<00:34:50.000><c> sends</c><00:34:50.440><c> to</c><00:34:50.679><c> Jeremiah</c><00:34:51.159><c> saying,</c><00:34:51.519><c> will</c><00:34:51.739><c> the</c><00:34:51.940><c> Lord</c><00:34:52.119><c> save</c><00:34:52.480><c> us?</c>

00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:57.719
Maybe<00:34:54.179><c> he</c><00:34:54.360><c> was</c><00:34:54.539><c> looking</c><00:34:54.900><c> for</c><00:34:55.320><c> or</c><00:34:55.559><c> hoping</c><00:34:55.900><c> for</c><00:34:56.340><c> some</c><00:34:56.659><c> kind</c><00:34:57.119><c> of</c>

Hezekiah<00:34:58.500><c> moment</c>

00:34:59.019 --> 00:35:03.199
where<00:34:59.639><c> the</c><00:35:00.280><c> city</c><00:35:00.619><c> is</c><00:35:00.960><c> surrounded</c><00:35:01.440><c> and</c><00:35:02.119><c> the</c><00:35:02.320><c> Lord</c><00:35:02.539><c> intervenes.</c>

00:35:03.239 --> 00:35:05.699
Maybe<00:35:03.460><c> he</c><00:35:03.599><c> was</c><00:35:03.780><c> looking</c><00:35:04.019><c> for</c><00:35:04.239><c> something</c><00:35:04.559><c> like</c><00:35:04.940><c> that.</c>

00:35:05.820 --> 00:35:09.659
And<00:35:06.000><c> Jeremiah</c><00:35:06.300><c> has</c><00:35:06.579><c> this</c><00:35:07.280><c> message</c><00:35:07.760><c> which</c><00:35:08.059><c> he</c><00:35:08.539><c> shares</c><00:35:08.960><c> with</c><00:35:09.340><c> him,</c>

00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:12.199
which<00:35:10.480><c> is</c><00:35:10.699><c> very</c><00:35:11.000><c> uncompromising,</c><00:35:12.000><c> isn't</c><00:35:12.119><c> it?</c>

00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:16.579
We're<00:35:12.320><c> not</c><00:35:12.420><c> going</c><00:35:12.559><c> to</c><00:35:12.739><c> read</c><00:35:12.880><c> it</c><00:35:13.059><c> all</c><00:35:13.179><c> now,</c><00:35:13.460><c> but</c><00:35:13.579><c> you'll</c><00:35:13.800><c> probably</c><00:35:13.980><c> be</c><00:35:14.219><c> familiar</c><00:35:14.559><c> from</c><00:35:14.760><c> verse</c><00:35:15.119><c> 4</c><00:35:15.500><c> onwards.</c>

00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:19.719
Jeremiah<00:35:17.119><c> is</c><00:35:17.460><c> saying,</c><00:35:18.460><c> fight</c><00:35:18.920><c> with</c><00:35:19.380><c> you?</c>

So<00:35:48.980><c> Jeremiah</c><00:35:49.539><c> is</c><00:35:50.559><c> saying</c><00:35:50.960><c> to</c><00:35:51.860><c> Zedekiah,</c>

00:35:52.739 --> 00:35:58.360
this<00:35:53.300><c> is</c><00:35:53.519><c> not</c><00:35:53.639><c> going</c><00:35:53.820><c> to</c><00:35:54.039><c> end</c><00:35:54.539><c> until</c><00:35:55.880><c> Jerusalem</c><00:35:56.619><c> is</c><00:35:56.900><c> taken</c><00:35:57.239><c> captive.</c>

00:35:59.099 --> 00:36:03.059
Come<00:35:59.219><c> with</c><00:35:59.340><c> me</c><00:35:59.460><c> to</c><00:35:59.500><c> chapter</c><00:35:59.820><c> 34,</c><00:36:00.780><c> then,</c><00:36:00.960><c> please,</c><00:36:01.400><c> would</c><00:36:01.579><c> you?</c>

00:36:10.300 --> 00:36:15.440
This<00:36:10.480><c> is</c><00:36:10.619><c> quite</c><00:36:10.780><c> a</c><00:36:12.059><c> lovely</c><00:36:12.400><c> little</c><00:36:13.500><c> section</c><00:36:14.059><c> of</c><00:36:14.460><c> scripture,</c><00:36:14.920><c> actually,</c>

00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:19.579
because<00:36:15.519><c> as</c><00:36:15.960><c> we</c><00:36:16.079><c> get</c><00:36:16.320><c> to</c><00:36:16.559><c> this,</c><00:36:17.500><c> well,</c><00:36:18.500><c> dark</c><00:36:18.800><c> point</c><00:36:19.280><c> in</c>

00:36:19.579 --> 00:36:21.320
Judah's<00:36:20.199><c> history</c>

00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:24.320
where<00:36:21.519><c> Jerusalem</c><00:36:22.139><c> is</c><00:36:22.460><c> besieged,</c><00:36:23.099><c> all</c><00:36:23.360><c> nations</c><00:36:23.940><c> gathered</c>

00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:26.039

00:36:26.199 --> 00:36:28.780
that's<00:36:27.159><c> familiar</c><00:36:27.559><c> language</c><00:36:28.059><c> to</c><00:36:28.260><c> us,</c><00:36:28.539><c> isn't</c><00:36:28.659><c> it?</c>

00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:32.679
That<00:36:29.039><c> verse</c><00:36:29.440><c> 1,</c><00:36:30.539><c> the</c><00:36:30.980><c> word</c><00:36:31.239><c> which</c><00:36:31.460><c> came</c><00:36:31.719><c> unto</c><00:36:31.900><c> Jeremiah</c><00:36:32.420><c> from</c>

00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:33.059
the<00:36:32.880><c> Lord</c>

00:36:33.059 --> 00:36:36.219
when<00:36:33.280><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:36:34.039><c> king</c><00:36:34.300><c> of</c><00:36:34.480><c> Babylon</c><00:36:34.780><c> and</c><00:36:35.199><c> all</c><00:36:35.519><c> his</c><00:36:35.920><c> army</c>

00:36:36.219 --> 00:36:40.159
and<00:36:36.559><c> all</c><00:36:37.019><c> the</c><00:36:37.300><c> kingdoms</c><00:36:37.800><c> of</c><00:36:38.119><c> the</c><00:36:38.340><c> earth</c><00:36:38.619><c> of</c><00:36:39.000><c> his</c><00:36:39.360><c> dominion</c>

00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:43.780

00:36:43.780 --> 00:36:44.980
the<00:36:43.980><c> cities</c><00:36:44.199><c> thereof.</c>

00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:50.380
So<00:36:45.760><c> this</c><00:36:46.360><c> great</c><00:36:47.219><c> amassing</c><00:36:47.960><c> of</c><00:36:48.440><c> nations</c><00:36:48.980><c> against</c><00:36:49.659><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:36:50.619 --> 00:36:52.519
This<00:36:50.760><c> is</c><00:36:51.000><c> a</c><00:36:51.019><c> real</c><00:36:51.280><c> low</c><00:36:51.579><c> point.</c>

00:36:52.980 --> 00:36:57.019
And<00:36:53.119><c> of</c><00:36:53.360><c> course,</c><00:36:54.219><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:36:55.019><c> this</c><00:36:55.340><c> faithful</c><00:36:55.800><c> man,</c><00:36:56.579><c> has</c><00:36:56.699><c> the</c>

00:36:58.219 --> 00:37:03.920
He<00:36:58.380><c> knows</c><00:36:58.639><c> what</c><00:36:58.840><c> needs</c><00:36:59.059><c> to</c><00:36:59.260><c> be</c><00:36:59.420><c> done</c><00:36:59.659><c> in</c><00:37:00.139><c> order</c><00:37:00.400><c> that</c><00:37:00.739><c> individuals</c><00:37:01.500><c> can</c><00:37:02.239><c> be</c><00:37:02.920><c> saved.</c>

00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:08.619
Jeremiah<00:37:04.800><c> repeats</c><00:37:05.239><c> his</c><00:37:05.559><c> message</c><00:37:06.219><c> from</c><00:37:07.079><c> verses</c><00:37:07.480><c> 2</c><00:37:07.900><c> to</c><00:37:08.099><c> 4.</c>

00:37:08.619 --> 00:37:10.960
He<00:37:09.239><c> says</c><00:37:09.480><c> exactly</c><00:37:09.980><c> what's</c><00:37:10.340><c> going</c><00:37:10.460><c> to</c><00:37:10.699><c> happen.</c>

00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:14.820
He<00:37:11.219><c> has</c><00:37:11.420><c> the</c><00:37:11.699><c> answer,</c><00:37:12.500><c> if</c><00:37:12.739><c> only</c><00:37:13.019><c> men</c><00:37:13.280><c> will</c><00:37:13.559><c> listen</c><00:37:13.920><c> to</c><00:37:14.239><c> it.</c>

00:37:15.219 --> 00:37:21.239
And<00:37:15.420><c> all</c><00:37:16.039><c> cities</c><00:37:16.800><c> are</c><00:37:18.159><c> surrounded</c><00:37:18.860><c> and</c><00:37:19.679><c> taken</c><00:37:20.159><c> in</c><00:37:20.679><c> Judah,</c>

00:37:21.699 --> 00:37:24.219
apart<00:37:21.960><c> from</c><00:37:22.260><c> Jerusalem,</c><00:37:22.940><c> which</c><00:37:23.099><c> is</c><00:37:23.380><c> besieged.</c>

00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:29.780
And<00:37:24.780><c> then</c><00:37:24.920><c> in</c><00:37:25.099><c> verse</c><00:37:25.380><c> 7,</c><00:37:25.860><c> you</c><00:37:25.960><c> can</c><00:37:26.179><c> see</c><00:37:26.300><c> also</c><00:37:26.739><c> that</c><00:37:27.159><c> Lekish</c><00:37:27.880><c> and</c><00:37:28.539><c> Azekar,</c>

00:37:29.780 --> 00:37:35.760
these<00:37:30.519><c> were</c><00:37:30.980><c> also</c><00:37:31.599><c> defenced</c><00:37:32.420><c> cities</c><00:37:33.000><c> that</c><00:37:33.840><c> remained</c><00:37:34.559><c> untaken.</c>

00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:40.360
So<00:37:36.260><c> at</c><00:37:36.440><c> this</c><00:37:36.699><c> stage,</c><00:37:37.599><c> Jerusalem,</c><00:37:38.360><c> Lekish,</c><00:37:39.280><c> Azekar</c><00:37:39.840><c> are</c><00:37:40.179><c> the</c>

only<00:37:40.760><c> three</c><00:37:41.119><c> cities</c>

00:37:41.500 --> 00:37:43.280
that<00:37:41.780><c> have</c><00:37:42.079><c> not</c><00:37:42.340><c> yet</c><00:37:42.539><c> been</c><00:37:42.900><c> taken.</c>

00:37:43.500 --> 00:37:47.280
All<00:37:43.800><c> besieged,</c><00:37:44.800><c> all</c><00:37:45.119><c> surrounded</c><00:37:45.579><c> by</c><00:37:46.039><c> a</c><00:37:46.360><c> Babylonian</c><00:37:46.900><c> army</c>

00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:51.039
and<00:37:47.599><c> the</c><00:37:48.320><c> army</c><00:37:48.559><c> of</c><00:37:48.719><c> all</c><00:37:48.820><c> these</c><00:37:49.000><c> other</c><00:37:49.199><c> nations</c><00:37:49.559><c> that</c><00:37:49.760><c> have</c><00:37:50.000><c> swept</c><00:37:50.179><c> through</c><00:37:50.420><c> the</c><00:37:50.639><c> land</c>

00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:54.079
and<00:37:51.659><c> have</c><00:37:52.059><c> taken</c><00:37:52.619><c> control.</c>

00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:59.139
And<00:37:54.519><c> it's</c><00:37:54.699><c> a</c><00:37:54.820><c> real</c><00:37:55.599><c> panic</c><00:37:56.219><c> stations</c><00:37:56.880><c> moment</c><00:37:57.539><c> now,</c><00:37:57.960><c> isn't</c><00:37:58.179><c> it?</c>

00:37:59.460 --> 00:38:00.760
What<00:37:59.719><c> are</c><00:37:59.880><c> they</c><00:38:00.039><c> going</c><00:38:00.280><c> to</c><00:38:00.579><c> do?</c>

00:38:00.900 --> 00:38:03.079
What<00:38:01.099><c> can</c><00:38:01.360><c> the</c><00:38:01.539><c> people</c><00:38:01.800><c> of</c><00:38:02.059><c> Jerusalem</c><00:38:02.639><c> do</c>

00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:07.000
if<00:38:03.320><c> now</c><00:38:03.320><c> they</c><00:38:03.500><c> are</c><00:38:03.719><c> surrounded</c><00:38:04.460><c> by</c><00:38:05.239><c> this</c><00:38:05.960><c> army?</c>

00:38:07.179 --> 00:38:10.619
And<00:38:07.460><c> it's</c><00:38:07.739><c> at</c><00:38:08.000><c> this</c><00:38:08.260><c> point</c><00:38:08.860><c> that</c><00:38:09.300><c> they</c><00:38:09.500><c> have</c><00:38:09.719><c> been</c><00:38:10.079><c> brought</c><00:38:10.360><c> to</c>

00:38:10.619 --> 00:38:12.139
their<00:38:10.920><c> knees</c>

00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:15.460
where<00:38:12.960><c> they</c><00:38:13.260><c> decide</c><00:38:13.619><c> they</c><00:38:13.800><c> will</c><00:38:14.199><c> convert.</c>

00:38:16.460 --> 00:38:18.900
Why<00:38:16.719><c> don't</c><00:38:16.840><c> we</c><00:38:17.079><c> become</c><00:38:17.380><c> godly</c><00:38:17.860><c> people?</c>

00:38:19.260 --> 00:38:21.480
Why<00:38:19.639><c> don't</c><00:38:19.860><c> we</c><00:38:20.079><c> do</c><00:38:20.539><c> God's</c><00:38:21.199><c> laws?</c>

00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:24.280
Why<00:38:21.780><c> don't</c><00:38:22.039><c> we</c><00:38:22.480><c> walk</c><00:38:22.800><c> in</c><00:38:22.960><c> his</c><00:38:23.219><c> ways?</c>

00:38:24.539 --> 00:38:27.980
And<00:38:24.760><c> then</c><00:38:24.960><c> maybe,</c><00:38:25.599><c> maybe,</c><00:38:26.119><c> even</c><00:38:26.400><c> at</c><00:38:26.619><c> this</c><00:38:26.980><c> 11th</c><00:38:27.500><c> hour</c><00:38:27.739><c> and</c>

00:38:27.980 --> 00:38:29.320
59th<00:38:28.739><c> minute,</c>

00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:33.400
there<00:38:29.840><c> might</c><00:38:30.119><c> be</c><00:38:30.300><c> some</c><00:38:30.559><c> intervention</c><00:38:31.340><c> to</c><00:38:32.159><c> save</c><00:38:32.420><c> us.</c>

00:38:33.500 --> 00:38:35.179
And<00:38:34.019><c> that's</c><00:38:34.300><c> exactly</c><00:38:34.559><c> what</c><00:38:34.739><c> they</c><00:38:34.980><c> do.</c>

00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:39.800
And<00:38:35.719><c> it's</c><00:38:37.239><c> a</c><00:38:37.320><c> sentiment</c><00:38:37.800><c> that</c><00:38:38.019><c> we're</c><00:38:38.199><c> all</c><00:38:38.380><c> familiar</c><00:38:38.800><c> with.</c>

00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:43.300
It's<00:38:40.400><c> well</c><00:38:40.639><c> known,</c><00:38:40.900><c> isn't</c><00:38:41.059><c> it,</c><00:38:41.199><c> that</c><00:38:41.360><c> even</c><00:38:41.619><c> the</c><00:38:42.159><c> staunchest</c><00:38:42.800><c> atheist</c>
