We<00:09:48.159><c> go</c><00:09:48.419><c> back</c><00:09:48.620><c> and</c><00:09:48.759><c> we</c><00:09:48.940><c> trace</c><00:09:49.320><c> what</c><00:09:49.659><c> happens</c><00:09:50.019><c> on</c><00:09:50.220><c> the</c><00:09:50.379><c> fourth</c><00:09:50.639><c> year</c><00:09:50.779><c> of</c><00:09:50.919><c> Jehoiakim.</c>

00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:55.620
If<00:09:52.000><c> we</c><00:09:52.179><c> turn</c><00:09:52.419><c> back</c><00:09:52.700><c> to</c><00:09:52.860><c> Jeremiah</c><00:09:53.320><c> chapter</c><00:09:53.759><c> 25</c><00:09:54.360><c> and</c><00:09:54.559><c> verse</c><00:09:54.840><c> 1,</c>

00:09:56.700 --> 00:09:59.200
we<00:09:56.759><c> read</c><00:09:57.039><c> that</c><00:09:57.200><c> it</c><00:09:57.259><c> was</c><00:09:57.519><c> in</c><00:09:57.700><c> the</c><00:09:57.840><c> fourth</c><00:09:58.200><c> year</c><00:09:58.440><c> of</c><00:09:58.639><c> Jehoiakim,</c>

00:09:59.299 --> 00:10:01.679
the<00:09:59.419><c> son</c><00:09:59.639><c> of</c><00:09:59.779><c> Josiah,</c><00:10:00.240><c> king</c><00:10:00.500><c> of</c><00:10:00.720><c> Judah,</c>

00:10:01.899 --> 00:10:04.620
that<00:10:02.000><c> was</c><00:10:02.240><c> the</c><00:10:02.419><c> first</c><00:10:02.799><c> year</c><00:10:03.200><c> of</c><00:10:03.539><c> Nebuchadnezzar.</c>

00:10:05.460 --> 00:10:09.980
So<00:10:05.740><c> the</c><00:10:05.940><c> second</c><00:10:06.299><c> year</c><00:10:06.500><c> of</c><00:10:06.539><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:10:07.639><c> would</c><00:10:07.879><c> be</c><00:10:08.139><c> the</c><00:10:08.299><c> fifth</c><00:10:08.720><c> year</c><00:10:09.000><c> of</c><00:10:09.120><c> Jehoiakim.</c>

00:10:10.379 --> 00:10:13.860
I<00:10:10.519><c> have</c><00:10:10.720><c> quoted</c><00:10:10.960><c> from</c><00:10:11.220><c> Jeremiah</c><00:10:11.700><c> chapter</c><00:10:12.080><c> 25</c><00:10:12.779><c> and</c><00:10:13.240><c> verse</c><00:10:13.559><c> 1.</c>

00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.600
You<00:10:14.179><c> did</c><00:10:14.419><c> not</c><00:10:14.639><c> catch</c><00:10:15.179><c> the</c><00:10:15.659><c> quotation.</c>

00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.299
This<00:10:17.100><c> is</c><00:10:17.299><c> a</c><00:10:17.320><c> very</c><00:10:17.740><c> important</c><00:10:18.399><c> verse</c><00:10:18.779><c> actually.</c>

00:10:19.299 --> 00:10:22.639
It<00:10:19.860><c> is</c><00:10:20.080><c> the</c><00:10:20.379><c> one</c><00:10:20.700><c> verse</c><00:10:21.159><c> in</c><00:10:21.500><c> the</c><00:10:21.679><c> Bible</c>

00:10:22.899 --> 00:10:27.100
where<00:10:23.299><c> we</c><00:10:23.519><c> can</c><00:10:23.759><c> determine</c><00:10:24.240><c> the</c><00:10:24.519><c> chronology</c><00:10:25.659><c> of</c><00:10:26.179><c> Gentile</c><00:10:26.720><c> times</c>

00:10:27.100 --> 00:10:31.460
in<00:10:27.700><c> relationship</c><00:10:28.460><c> to</c><00:10:29.139><c> the</c><00:10:29.399><c> chronology</c><00:10:30.200><c> of</c><00:10:30.860><c> the</c><00:10:31.059><c> Bible.</c>

00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:34.159
Because<00:10:32.159><c> here</c><00:10:32.340><c> are</c><00:10:32.539><c> two</c><00:10:32.799><c> points</c><00:10:33.159><c> converging.</c>

00:10:34.659 --> 00:10:36.000
But<00:10:34.779><c> that's</c><00:10:35.120><c> merely</c><00:10:35.320><c> by</c><00:10:35.580><c> the</c><00:10:35.779><c> way.</c>

00:10:36.299 --> 00:10:38.179
It<00:10:36.519><c> was</c><00:10:36.679><c> in</c><00:10:36.820><c> the</c><00:10:37.000><c> fourth</c><00:10:37.220><c> year</c><00:10:37.399><c> of</c><00:10:37.559><c> Jehoiakim</c>

00:10:38.179 --> 00:10:41.399
that<00:10:38.700><c> was</c><00:10:38.960><c> the</c><00:10:39.100><c> first</c><00:10:39.419><c> year</c><00:10:39.940><c> of</c><00:10:40.320><c> Nebuchadnezzar.</c>

00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:44.279
And<00:10:41.940><c> therefore</c><00:10:42.340><c> the</c><00:10:42.700><c> fifth</c><00:10:43.039><c> year</c><00:10:43.220><c> of</c><00:10:43.360><c> Jehoiakim</c>

00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:46.580
was<00:10:44.700><c> the</c><00:10:44.980><c> second</c><00:10:45.279><c> year</c><00:10:45.500><c> of</c><00:10:45.659><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c>

00:10:46.580 --> 00:10:48.539
when<00:10:46.940><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:10:47.659><c> had</c><00:10:47.840><c> that</c><00:10:48.179><c> dream.</c>

00:10:48.539 --> 00:10:53.799
Now<00:10:49.360><c> if</c><00:10:49.600><c> we</c><00:10:49.740><c> turn</c><00:10:49.919><c> to</c><00:10:50.100><c> the</c><00:10:50.179><c> 36th</c><00:10:50.860><c> chapter</c><00:10:51.460><c> of</c><00:10:51.799><c> Jeremiah</c><00:10:52.259><c> and</c><00:10:52.980><c> verse</c><00:10:53.279><c> 9,</c>

00:10:54.059 --> 00:10:56.679
we<00:10:54.240><c> shall</c><00:10:54.460><c> see</c><00:10:54.679><c> what</c><00:10:55.019><c> happened</c><00:10:55.259><c> in</c><00:10:55.500><c> that</c><00:10:55.720><c> year.</c>

00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:02.799

00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.500
You<00:11:22.840><c> see</c><00:11:22.980><c> in</c><00:11:23.159><c> the</c><00:11:23.299><c> earlier</c><00:11:23.600><c> part</c><00:11:23.879><c> of</c><00:11:24.039><c> this</c><00:11:24.259><c> chapter,</c>

00:11:25.740 --> 00:11:27.539
Yahweh<00:11:25.980><c> had</c><00:11:26.299><c> called</c><00:11:26.460><c> upon</c><00:11:26.860><c> Jeremiah</c>

00:11:31.779 --> 00:11:34.620
He<00:11:32.000><c> called</c><00:11:32.279><c> for</c><00:11:32.519><c> his</c><00:11:32.759><c> friend</c><00:11:33.019><c> Barak</c><00:11:33.519><c> the</c><00:11:33.820><c> scribe.</c>

00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:38.120

Those<00:14:44.460><c> princes</c><00:14:44.860><c> had</c><00:14:45.100><c> come</c><00:14:45.320><c> into</c><00:14:45.539><c> the</c><00:14:45.740><c> presence</c><00:14:45.960><c> of</c><00:14:46.200><c> the</c><00:14:46.340><c> king</c>

00:14:49.259 --> 00:14:52.019
because<00:14:49.620><c> of</c><00:14:49.820><c> the</c><00:14:49.899><c> words</c><00:14:50.139><c> of</c><00:14:50.399><c> Jeremiah</c><00:14:50.799><c> they</c><00:14:51.080><c> had</c><00:14:51.279><c> heard.</c>

00:14:53.659 --> 00:14:55.840
They<00:14:53.799><c> wanted</c><00:14:54.039><c> to</c><00:14:54.360><c> impress</c><00:14:54.759><c> the</c><00:14:55.039><c> king</c>

00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:58.259
and<00:14:56.639><c> therefore</c><00:14:56.940><c> they</c><00:14:57.200><c> read</c><00:14:57.279><c> it</c><00:14:57.500><c> before</c><00:14:57.779><c> the</c><00:14:58.039><c> king.</c>

00:14:58.480 --> 00:14:59.960
But<00:14:58.639><c> the</c><00:14:58.820><c> king</c><00:14:59.039><c> eaten</c><00:14:59.259><c> up</c><00:14:59.500><c> with</c><00:14:59.720><c> pride</c>

00:14:59.960 --> 00:15:02.379
is<00:15:00.139><c> not</c><00:15:00.340><c> going</c><00:15:00.440><c> to</c><00:15:00.580><c> be</c><00:15:00.700><c> of</c><00:15:00.840><c> that</c><00:15:01.139><c> sort</c><00:15:01.340><c> of</c><00:15:01.519><c> language.</c>

00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:04.899
And<00:15:02.740><c> he</c><00:15:02.860><c> also</c><00:15:03.120><c> wants</c><00:15:03.419><c> to</c><00:15:03.639><c> demonstrate</c><00:15:04.120><c> to</c><00:15:04.340><c> his</c><00:15:04.559><c> princes</c>

00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:09.759
He<00:15:07.940><c> doesn't</c><00:15:08.259><c> believe</c><00:15:08.559><c> his</c><00:15:08.860><c> words.</c>

00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:12.700
So<00:15:10.740><c> he</c><00:15:10.919><c> grabs</c><00:15:11.299><c> that</c><00:15:11.740><c> scroll,</c><00:15:12.080><c> that</c><00:15:12.340><c> scroll,</c>

00:15:13.100 --> 00:15:15.799

00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:19.360
That's<00:15:16.399><c> what</c><00:15:16.480><c> I</c><00:15:16.679><c> think</c><00:15:16.820><c> of</c><00:15:17.080><c> Jeremiah</c><00:15:17.539><c> and</c><00:15:18.000><c> all</c><00:15:18.220><c> his</c><00:15:18.559><c> words.</c>

00:15:19.580 --> 00:15:21.960

00:15:25.779 --> 00:15:27.539
Rejecting<00:15:26.360><c> the</c><00:15:26.460><c> voice</c><00:15:26.700><c> of</c><00:15:26.919><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:24:57.140 --> 00:24:59.259
Nebuchadnezzar<00:24:57.700><c> gathered</c><00:24:58.019><c> together</c><00:24:58.440><c> all</c><00:24:58.700><c> the</c><00:24:58.859><c> people</c><00:24:59.099><c> of</c>

00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:12.579
He<00:25:07.079><c> proclaimed</c><00:25:07.799><c> the</c><00:25:09.339><c> insurrection</c><00:25:10.859><c> that</c><00:25:11.079><c> they</c><00:25:11.279><c> had</c><00:25:11.500><c> been</c><00:25:11.720><c> guilty</c><00:25:12.000><c> of.</c>

00:25:12.980 --> 00:25:15.960
And<00:25:13.079><c> then</c><00:25:13.200><c> he</c><00:25:13.539><c> shrewd</c><00:25:13.779><c> them</c><00:25:13.920><c> before</c><00:25:14.420><c> the</c><00:25:14.799><c> eyes</c><00:25:15.160><c> of</c><00:25:15.380><c> the</c><00:25:15.539><c> others.</c>

00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:18.619
Then<00:25:16.519><c> he</c><00:25:16.759><c> roasted</c><00:25:17.119><c> them</c><00:25:17.380><c> in</c><00:25:17.559><c> the</c><00:25:17.700><c> fire.</c>

00:25:25.339 --> 00:25:28.000

So<00:26:10.059><c> he</c><00:26:10.180><c> says</c><00:26:10.420><c> in</c><00:26:10.559><c> verse</c><00:26:10.839><c> 14,</c>

00:26:11.500 --> 00:26:14.539
Is<00:26:11.859><c> it</c><00:26:12.079><c> true,</c><00:26:12.500><c> O</c><00:26:12.799><c> Chadrach,</c><00:26:13.180><c> Meshach,</c><00:26:13.539><c> and</c><00:26:13.740><c> Abignigo,</c>

00:26:14.900 --> 00:26:18.299
that<00:26:15.220><c> you</c><00:26:15.440><c> do</c><00:26:15.660><c> not</c><00:26:15.920><c> serve</c><00:26:16.160><c> my</c><00:26:16.460><c> gods</c><00:26:16.759><c> nor</c><00:26:17.019><c> worship</c><00:26:17.380><c> the</c><00:26:17.559><c> golden</c><00:26:17.859><c> image</c>

00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:23.339
And<00:26:21.240><c> then</c><00:26:21.400><c> he</c><00:26:21.440><c> gives</c><00:26:21.660><c> them</c><00:26:21.880><c> another</c><00:26:22.180><c> opportunity.</c>

00:26:23.859 --> 00:26:26.400
And<00:26:24.000><c> really</c><00:26:24.299><c> in</c><00:26:24.440><c> the</c><00:26:24.720><c> Hebrew</c><00:26:25.039><c> word,</c><00:26:25.519><c> is</c><00:26:25.519><c> it</c><00:26:25.720><c> true?</c>

00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:27.779
Is<00:26:26.839><c> it</c><00:26:27.039><c> on</c><00:26:27.400><c> purpose?</c>

00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:29.559
Is<00:26:28.299><c> this</c><00:26:28.519><c> deliberate?</c>

00:26:29.579 --> 00:26:31.099
Or<00:26:29.700><c> have</c><00:26:29.799><c> you</c><00:26:29.859><c> made</c><00:26:30.039><c> a</c><00:26:30.220><c> mistake?</c>

00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:32.720
Look,<00:26:31.900><c> don't</c><00:26:32.200><c> do</c><00:26:32.440><c> it.</c>

00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:34.519
I'll<00:26:33.200><c> give</c><00:26:33.359><c> you</c><00:26:33.519><c> another</c><00:26:33.819><c> opportunity.</c>

00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:39.980

00:26:48.619 --> 00:26:50.859
We're<00:26:48.960><c> not</c><00:26:49.180><c> careful</c><00:26:49.480><c> to</c><00:26:49.740><c> answer</c><00:26:49.980><c> thee,</c><00:26:50.240><c> and</c><00:26:50.319><c> that's</c><00:26:50.640><c> a</c><00:26:50.660><c> matter.</c>

Our<00:27:13.779><c> God</c><00:27:14.059><c> can</c><00:27:14.299><c> save</c><00:27:14.619><c> us,</c><00:27:15.799><c> and</c><00:27:16.059><c> perhaps</c><00:27:16.440><c> he</c><00:27:16.640><c> will.</c>

His<00:40:17.179><c> conquest</c><00:40:17.559><c> took</c><00:40:17.860><c> place</c><00:40:18.280><c> all</c><00:40:18.699><c> around</c><00:40:19.039><c> Babylon</c>

00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:21.260

00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:23.440
And<00:40:21.719><c> there</c><00:40:21.739><c> must</c><00:40:21.980><c> have</c><00:40:22.119><c> been</c><00:40:22.340><c> extreme</c><00:40:22.760><c> frustration</c>

00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:26.219
in<00:40:23.980><c> the</c><00:40:24.159><c> heart</c><00:40:24.360><c> of</c><00:40:24.659><c> Daniel</c><00:40:24.940><c> and</c><00:40:25.139><c> the</c><00:40:25.320><c> rest</c><00:40:25.559><c> of</c><00:40:25.719><c> them</c><00:40:25.840><c> as</c><00:40:25.940><c> they</c>

saw<00:40:26.460><c> this</c>

00:40:26.699 --> 00:40:29.820
but<00:40:26.960><c> he</c><00:40:27.139><c> doesn't</c><00:40:27.380><c> come</c><00:40:27.679><c> towards</c><00:40:28.019><c> the</c><00:40:28.239><c> city</c><00:40:28.519><c> of</c><00:40:28.760><c> Babylon.</c>

00:40:29.860 --> 00:40:31.219

00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:32.780
We<00:40:31.659><c> see</c><00:40:31.860><c> Russia</c><00:40:32.300><c> rising.</c>

00:40:33.059 --> 00:40:34.780

00:40:34.940 --> 00:40:37.900
We<00:40:35.139><c> see</c><00:40:35.420><c> signs</c><00:40:35.840><c> here</c><00:40:36.139><c> and</c><00:40:36.380><c> signs</c><00:40:36.699><c> there</c><00:40:37.039><c> and</c><00:40:37.219><c> we</c><00:40:37.340><c> say</c><00:40:37.500><c> look</c>

00:40:37.900 --> 00:40:40.400
we're<00:40:38.239><c> living</c><00:40:38.539><c> in</c><00:40:38.780><c> the</c><00:40:38.980><c> epoch</c><00:40:39.340><c> of</c><00:40:39.519><c> Christ's</c><00:40:40.059><c> return.</c>

00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:44.420
Surely<00:40:41.420><c> God</c><00:40:41.719><c> will</c><00:40:41.920><c> be</c><00:40:42.239><c> manifested</c><00:40:42.800><c> in</c><00:40:43.119><c> some</c><00:40:43.480><c> short</c><00:40:43.880><c> time</c>

00:40:44.420 --> 00:40:46.239

00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:50.340

00:40:50.820 --> 00:40:52.960
And<00:40:51.039><c> we</c><00:40:51.239><c> can't</c><00:40:51.519><c> become</c><00:40:51.780><c> a</c><00:40:51.860><c> little</c><00:40:52.159><c> bit</c><00:40:52.400><c> frustrated</c>

00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:56.519

00:40:56.719 --> 00:40:58.880
They<00:40:56.980><c> did</c><00:40:57.119><c> it</c><00:40:57.260><c> in</c><00:40:57.420><c> the</c><00:40:57.519><c> days</c><00:40:57.719><c> of</c><00:40:57.880><c> Daniel</c>

00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:01.380

period<00:41:01.780><c> now.</c>

00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:06.119
And<00:41:03.199><c> suddenly</c><00:41:03.599><c> and</c><00:41:03.980><c> unexpectedly</c><00:41:04.559><c> it</c><00:41:05.199><c> happened</c>

00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:09.659
and<00:41:06.639><c> the</c><00:41:06.800><c> forces</c><00:41:07.039><c> of</c><00:41:07.440><c> Cyrus</c><00:41:07.840><c> marched</c><00:41:08.300><c> against</c><00:41:08.699><c> Babylon</c>

00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:05.460
we<00:42:01.639><c> read</c><00:42:02.000><c> how</c><00:42:02.280><c> that</c><00:42:02.460><c> he</c><00:42:02.559><c> was</c><00:42:02.840><c> mourning</c><00:42:03.340><c> three</c><00:42:03.980><c> full</c><00:42:04.380><c> weeks.</c>

00:42:05.659 --> 00:42:08.820
He<00:42:06.000><c> was</c><00:42:06.400><c> mourning</c><00:42:06.800><c> three</c><00:42:07.360><c> full</c><00:42:07.780><c> weeks.</c>

00:42:11.519 --> 00:42:17.179
This<00:42:12.199><c> was</c><00:42:12.880><c> the</c><00:42:13.119><c> third</c><00:42:13.659><c> year</c><00:42:13.920><c> of</c><00:42:14.239><c> Cyrus</c><00:42:14.579><c> and</c><00:42:16.300><c> something</c><00:42:16.739><c> caused</c>

00:42:17.179 --> 00:42:17.739
him<00:42:17.380><c> to</c><00:42:17.559><c> mourn</c>

00:42:17.739 --> 00:42:19.739

00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:21.840
What<00:42:20.219><c> was</c><00:42:20.519><c> it?</c>

00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:25.179
Now<00:42:23.159><c> there's</c><00:42:23.599><c> Cyrus</c><00:42:23.840><c> in</c><00:42:24.219><c> power.</c>

00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:28.360
It's<00:42:26.179><c> the</c><00:42:26.340><c> third</c><00:42:26.619><c> year</c><00:42:26.840><c> of</c><00:42:27.199><c> Cyrus.</c>

Two<00:42:28.719><c> years</c><00:42:29.099><c> he's</c><00:42:30.079><c> reigned</c><00:42:30.340><c> jointly</c><00:42:30.840><c> with</c><00:42:31.099><c> Darius.</c>

00:42:32.380 --> 00:42:36.420
Now<00:42:32.719><c> it's</c><00:42:34.579><c> the</c><00:42:34.719><c> first</c><00:42:34.900><c> year</c><00:42:35.159><c> of</c><00:42:35.360><c> his</c><00:42:35.599><c> sole</c><00:42:35.880><c> reign.</c>

00:42:36.860 --> 00:42:37.880
But<00:42:37.059><c> Daniel</c><00:42:37.340><c> is</c><00:42:37.619><c> mourning.</c>

00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:38.539
Why?

00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:39.559
Babylon's<00:42:39.360><c> fallen.</c>

00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:41.139
Why<00:42:40.119><c> mourn?</c>

00:42:41.760 --> 00:42:44.539
Because<00:42:42.099><c> he's</c><00:42:42.340><c> waiting</c><00:42:42.619><c> for</c><00:42:42.920><c> the</c><00:42:43.099><c> decree</c><00:42:43.360><c> that</c><00:42:43.539><c> should</c><00:42:43.760><c> come</c>

00:48:33.119 --> 00:48:34.199
There's<00:48:33.280><c> no</c><00:48:33.480><c> doubt</c><00:48:33.659><c> about</c><00:48:33.980><c> it.</c>

00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:36.280
He<00:48:34.420><c> says,</c><00:48:34.639><c> I</c><00:48:34.679><c> can't</c><00:48:35.099><c> fault</c><00:48:35.260><c> it.</c>

But<00:48:36.519><c> he</c><00:48:36.639><c> says,</c><00:48:36.920><c> I'm</c><00:48:37.059><c> too</c><00:48:37.400><c> committed.</c>

00:48:37.980 --> 00:48:39.500

00:48:39.639 --> 00:48:41.199
I<00:48:39.860><c> am</c><00:48:40.139><c> too</c><00:48:40.360><c> committed.</c>

00:48:41.420 --> 00:48:44.119
And<00:48:41.840><c> he</c><00:48:42.019><c> said</c><00:48:42.159><c> to</c><00:48:42.340><c> me,</c><00:48:42.500><c> I</c><00:48:42.699><c> actually</c><00:48:43.139><c> brought</c><00:48:43.360><c> in</c><00:48:43.619><c> legislation</c>

00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:49.920
in<00:48:44.400><c> favour</c><00:48:44.599><c> of</c><00:48:44.780><c> Israel</c><00:48:45.300><c> in</c><00:48:45.699><c> view</c><00:48:45.820><c> of</c><00:48:46.719><c> what</c><00:48:47.059><c> we've</c><00:48:47.760><c> been</c><00:48:48.719><c> stressing</c>

00:48:49.920 --> 00:48:51.079
in<00:48:50.159><c> the</c><00:48:50.300><c> lectures.</c>

00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:53.760
But<00:48:51.340><c> he</c><00:48:51.480><c> says,</c><00:48:51.780><c> I'm</c><00:48:51.940><c> far</c><00:48:52.119><c> too</c><00:48:52.280><c> committed</c><00:48:52.760><c> to</c><00:48:53.199><c> do</c><00:48:53.300><c> what</c><00:48:53.460><c> I</c><00:48:53.639><c> know</c>

00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:55.880
that<00:48:53.940><c> you</c><00:48:54.119><c> would</c><00:48:54.380><c> say</c><00:48:54.599><c> I</c><00:48:54.920><c> ought</c><00:48:55.079><c> to</c><00:48:55.239><c> do.</c>

00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:58.900
Now,<00:48:56.159><c> I</c><00:48:56.159><c> think</c><00:48:56.400><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:48:57.139><c> is</c><00:48:57.519><c> in</c><00:48:57.760><c> that</c><00:48:57.960><c> position</c><00:48:58.380><c> as</c><00:48:58.659><c> well.</c>

00:48:59.239 --> 00:49:01.699
I<00:48:59.380><c> think</c><00:48:59.619><c> that</c><00:48:59.760><c> he</c><00:48:59.900><c> has</c><00:49:00.119><c> brought</c><00:49:00.280><c> to</c><00:49:00.460><c> a</c><00:49:00.639><c> state</c><00:49:00.780><c> of</c><00:49:01.119><c> responsibility</c>

00:49:01.699 --> 00:49:04.300
there<00:49:02.019><c> because</c><00:49:02.400><c> he</c><00:49:02.719><c> acknowledges</c><00:49:03.260><c> God</c><00:49:03.519><c> for</c><00:49:03.719><c> what</c><00:49:03.840><c> he</c><00:49:04.039><c> is.</c>

00:49:04.659 --> 00:49:06.639
But<00:49:04.880><c> there</c><00:49:05.039><c> was</c><00:49:05.239><c> something</c><00:49:05.500><c> that</c><00:49:05.699><c> he</c><00:49:05.900><c> had</c><00:49:06.099><c> to</c><00:49:06.280><c> do,</c>

00:49:06.820 --> 00:49:09.159
and<00:49:06.920><c> that</c><00:49:07.059><c> is</c><00:49:07.320><c> to</c><00:49:07.559><c> acknowledge</c><00:49:07.800><c> him</c><00:49:07.980><c> in</c><00:49:08.119><c> the</c><00:49:08.420><c> completer</c><00:49:08.739><c> sense</c>

00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:12.980
was<00:49:09.559><c> to,</c><00:49:09.780><c> of</c><00:49:09.920><c> course,</c><00:49:11.159><c> separate</c><00:49:11.460><c> himself</c><00:49:11.840><c> from</c><00:49:12.159><c> that</c><00:49:12.340><c> way</c><00:49:12.519><c> of</c><00:49:12.780><c> life.</c>

00:49:13.260 --> 00:49:14.699
This<00:49:13.400><c> he</c><00:49:13.539><c> did</c><00:49:13.780><c> not</c><00:49:14.039><c> do.</c>

00:49:15.139 --> 00:49:18.079
So<00:49:15.199><c> it's</c><00:49:15.739><c> better</c><00:49:16.139><c> to</c><00:49:16.519><c> leave</c><00:49:16.800><c> with</c><00:49:17.039><c> the</c><00:49:17.199><c> hands</c><00:49:17.400><c> of</c><00:49:17.679><c> the</c><00:49:17.860><c> judge</c>

00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:22.440
The<00:49:19.659><c> judge</c><00:49:19.880><c> of</c><00:49:20.099><c> all</c><00:49:20.260><c> the</c><00:49:20.420><c> earth,</c><00:49:20.659><c> he</c><00:49:20.800><c> shall</c><00:49:20.960><c> be</c><00:49:21.219><c> right</c><00:49:21.699><c> in</c><00:49:21.940><c> that</c><00:49:22.199><c> day.</c>

00:49:22.820 --> 00:49:24.960
