00:08:55.899 --> 00:09:00.500
Can<00:08:56.019><c> you</c><00:08:56.159><c> imagine</c><00:08:56.580><c> him</c><00:08:56.899><c> not</c><00:08:57.799><c> being</c><00:08:58.379><c> jealous</c><00:08:58.919><c> over</c><00:08:59.899><c> what</c><00:09:00.179><c> has</c>

00:10:57.419 --> 00:10:58.799
I've<00:10:57.720><c> got</c><00:10:57.860><c> one.</c>

00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:01.620
Yes,<00:11:00.220><c> Uncle</c><00:11:00.460><c> Harold's</c><00:11:00.799><c> got</c><00:11:01.000><c> one</c><00:11:01.259><c> too.</c>

00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:02.559
Roger's<00:11:02.159><c> got</c><00:11:02.399><c> one.</c>

00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:03.419
Yes,<00:11:02.840><c> you've</c><00:11:03.120><c> got</c><00:11:03.259><c> one.</c>

00:11:03.539 --> 00:11:06.299
I<00:11:03.539><c> guess</c><00:11:03.980><c> it'll</c><00:11:04.620><c> be</c><00:11:04.799><c> the</c><00:11:04.980><c> same</c><00:11:05.179><c> as</c><00:11:05.419><c> mine.</c>

00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.759
The<00:11:07.240><c> quick</c><00:11:07.600><c> brown</c><00:11:08.100><c> fox</c><00:11:08.659><c> jumped</c><00:11:09.320><c> over</c><00:11:09.759><c> the</c><00:11:09.940><c> lazy</c><00:11:10.340><c> dog.</c>

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.259
So<00:11:11.299><c> what?</c>

00:11:12.940 --> 00:11:17.220
Who<00:11:13.220><c> cares</c><00:11:14.039><c> whether</c><00:11:15.000><c> the</c><00:11:15.299><c> quick</c><00:11:15.559><c> brown</c><00:11:15.919><c> fox</c><00:11:16.320><c> jumped</c><00:11:16.720><c> over</c><00:11:17.039><c> the</c>

00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:17.879
lazy<00:11:17.620><c> dog?</c>

00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:19.440
What<00:11:18.080><c> does</c><00:11:18.299><c> that</c><00:11:18.559><c> mean?</c>

00:11:20.139 --> 00:11:20.480
Dogs?

00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.840
Oh,<00:11:20.840><c> okay,</c><00:11:21.100><c> you've</c><00:11:21.279><c> got</c><00:11:21.299><c> to</c><00:11:21.399><c> have</c><00:11:21.500><c> that</c><00:11:21.820><c> too.</c>

00:11:25.100 --> 00:11:29.879
So,<00:11:26.480><c> I</c><00:11:26.519><c> mean,</c><00:11:27.500><c> okay,</c><00:11:27.879><c> we</c><00:11:28.059><c> can</c><00:11:28.320><c> create</c><00:11:28.659><c> a</c><00:11:28.960><c> sentence</c><00:11:29.279><c> that</c><00:11:29.559><c> uses</c>

00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.379
every<00:11:30.340><c> letter</c><00:11:30.559><c> on</c><00:11:30.759><c> the</c><00:11:30.940><c> keyboard</c>

00:11:31.379 --> 00:11:34.480
of<00:11:31.919><c> our</c><00:11:32.200><c> typewriters</c><00:11:32.840><c> or</c><00:11:33.419><c> computers,</c><00:11:34.059><c> can't</c><00:11:34.299><c> we?</c>

00:11:34.539 --> 00:11:36.200
But<00:11:34.700><c> what</c><00:11:34.919><c> does</c><00:11:35.120><c> it</c><00:11:35.240><c> really</c><00:11:35.659><c> mean?</c>

00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:37.559
Nothing.

00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:40.399
But<00:11:38.379><c> what</c><00:11:38.620><c> does</c><00:11:38.919><c> this</c><00:11:39.259><c> one</c><00:11:39.460><c> mean?</c>

00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:42.419
Everything.

00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:45.960
It<00:11:43.919><c> is</c><00:11:44.179><c> a</c><00:11:44.519><c> vital</c><00:11:44.899><c> verse.</c>

00:11:47.419 --> 00:11:51.460
There<00:11:47.580><c> are</c><00:11:47.940><c> 27</c><00:11:48.820><c> letters</c><00:11:49.460><c> of</c><00:11:50.580><c> the</c><00:11:50.720><c> Hebrew</c><00:11:51.000><c> alphabet.</c>

00:11:51.460 --> 00:11:52.799
They're<00:11:51.700><c> all</c><00:11:52.019><c> in</c><00:11:52.179><c> this</c><00:11:52.419><c> sentence.</c>

00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:54.840
Just<00:11:53.279><c> one</c><00:11:53.679><c> sentence.</c>

00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.299
And,<00:11:55.139><c> of</c><00:11:55.240><c> course,</c><00:11:55.539><c> 27</c><00:11:56.000><c> is</c><00:11:56.200><c> three</c><00:11:56.460><c> times</c><00:11:56.879><c> nine.</c>

00:11:57.799 --> 00:11:59.100
You<00:11:57.940><c> want</c><00:11:58.059><c> to</c><00:11:58.220><c> put</c><00:11:58.340><c> that</c><00:11:58.679><c> scripturally?</c>

00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:02.659
You<00:11:59.220><c> would</c><00:11:59.460><c> go</c><00:12:00.019><c> nine,</c><00:12:01.159><c> nine,</c><00:12:02.200><c> nine.</c>

00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:08.600
And<00:12:03.460><c> if</c><00:12:03.659><c> you</c><00:12:03.940><c> turn</c><00:12:04.159><c> it</c><00:12:04.379><c> upside</c><00:12:04.779><c> down,</c><00:12:05.360><c> you</c><00:12:05.419><c> get</c><00:12:05.740><c> six,</c><00:12:06.600><c> six,</c><00:12:07.440><c> six.</c>

00:12:09.740 --> 00:12:17.200
So<00:12:10.320><c> this</c><00:12:10.759><c> is</c><00:12:11.080><c> about</c><00:12:11.399><c> God</c><00:12:12.600><c> reversing,</c><00:12:14.379><c> overturning</c><00:12:15.039><c> what</c><00:12:15.779><c> Nimrod</c><00:12:16.240><c> did.</c>

00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:19.720
See<00:12:18.279><c> that,</c><00:12:18.639><c> bread</c><00:12:18.700><c> and</c><00:12:18.759><c> the</c><00:12:18.899><c> sisters?</c>

00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.720
It's<00:12:20.960><c> as</c><00:12:21.200><c> simple</c><00:12:21.480><c> as</c><00:12:21.740><c> that.</c>

00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:28.860
So<00:12:23.740><c> he's</c><00:12:23.879><c> going</c><00:12:23.980><c> to</c><00:12:24.179><c> assemble</c><00:12:24.779><c> the</c><00:12:24.980><c> nations</c><00:12:25.259><c> that</c><00:12:25.480><c> he</c><00:12:25.899><c> scattered</c><00:12:26.379><c> so</c><00:12:27.659><c> long</c><00:12:27.860><c> ago.</c>

00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.039
He'll<00:12:29.379><c> bring</c><00:12:29.659><c> them</c><00:12:29.879><c> together</c><00:12:30.320><c> into</c><00:12:30.580><c> his</c><00:12:30.899><c> land.</c>

00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.059
And<00:12:32.879><c> there</c><00:12:33.000><c> he</c><00:12:33.100><c> will</c><00:12:33.360><c> begin</c><00:12:33.600><c> to</c><00:12:33.840><c> deal</c><00:12:34.019><c> with</c><00:12:34.259><c> them.</c>

00:12:35.100 --> 00:12:38.899
And<00:12:35.440><c> 40</c><00:12:35.759><c> years</c><00:12:36.159><c> later,</c><00:12:37.200><c> he</c><00:12:37.360><c> will</c><00:12:37.519><c> have</c><00:12:37.759><c> finished</c><00:12:38.080><c> off</c><00:12:38.519><c> Babylon</c>

00:12:38.899 --> 00:12:40.059
the<00:12:39.240><c> Great.</c>

00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:44.580
And<00:12:40.840><c> Nimrod</c><00:12:41.299><c> will</c><00:12:41.740><c> be</c><00:12:42.019><c> dead</c><00:12:42.600><c> forever.</c>

00:12:45.740 --> 00:12:47.019
That's<00:12:46.379><c> what</c><00:12:46.519><c> he's</c><00:12:46.799><c> about.</c>

00:12:47.019 --> 00:12:51.039
This<00:12:47.639><c> is</c><00:12:47.860><c> why</c><00:12:48.120><c> this</c><00:12:48.460><c> verse</c><00:12:48.679><c> is</c><00:12:48.860><c> so</c><00:12:49.179><c> important</c><00:12:49.879><c> in</c><00:12:50.639><c> the</c><00:12:50.860><c> scheme</c>

00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:52.279
of<00:12:51.279><c> things.</c>

00:12:52.500 --> 00:12:54.940
Now,<00:12:52.519><c> how</c><00:12:52.620><c> do</c><00:12:52.720><c> you</c><00:12:52.759><c> get</c><00:12:52.960><c> 27</c><00:12:53.620><c> otherwise?</c>

00:12:55.860 --> 00:12:57.860
Well,<00:12:56.019><c> it's</c><00:12:56.240><c> 10</c><00:12:56.559><c> plus</c><00:12:56.899><c> 17.</c>

00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.559
What<00:12:58.100><c> does</c><00:12:58.299><c> that</c><00:12:58.600><c> mean</c><00:12:58.799><c> to</c><00:12:59.039><c> a</c><00:12:59.279><c> Hebrew</c><00:12:59.600><c> brain?</c>

00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.720
Ten<00:13:01.720><c> is</c><00:13:02.000><c> the</c><00:13:02.200><c> number</c><00:13:02.500><c> of</c><00:13:02.820><c> ordinal</c><00:13:03.159><c> perfection.</c>

00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.440
That's<00:13:04.039><c> why</c><00:13:04.179><c> we</c><00:13:04.360><c> have</c><00:13:04.539><c> 10</c><00:13:04.940><c> fingers,</c><00:13:05.500><c> 10</c><00:13:05.799><c> toes,</c><00:13:06.639><c> 10</c><00:13:06.960><c> commandments,</c>

00:13:07.659 --> 00:13:12.120
10<00:13:07.919><c> phrases</c><00:13:08.259><c> to</c><00:13:08.500><c> the</c><00:13:08.620><c> Lord's</c><00:13:09.019><c> Prayer,</c><00:13:09.500><c> 10</c><00:13:09.779><c> horns</c><00:13:10.120><c> on</c><00:13:10.340><c> the</c><00:13:10.539><c> beast,</c><00:13:11.139><c> 10,</c><00:13:11.440><c> 10.</c>

00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.240
It<00:13:12.600><c> stands</c><00:13:12.960><c> for</c><00:13:13.299><c> all.</c>

00:13:15.340 --> 00:13:18.379
And<00:13:15.960><c> 17</c><00:13:16.580><c> is</c><00:13:17.080><c> 10</c><00:13:17.399><c> plus</c><00:13:17.759><c> 7.</c>

00:13:18.500 --> 00:13:22.120
7,<00:13:18.799><c> of</c><00:13:19.000><c> course,</c><00:13:19.519><c> being</c><00:13:19.659><c> a</c><00:13:19.980><c> complete</c><00:13:20.200><c> number</c><00:13:20.480><c> to</c><00:13:20.659><c> the</c><00:13:20.840><c> Hebrew</c><00:13:21.080><c> mind.</c>

00:13:23.379 --> 00:13:30.659
So<00:13:23.539><c> you've</c><00:13:23.820><c> got</c><00:13:24.039><c> here</c><00:13:25.019><c> absolute</c><00:13:26.080><c> total</c><00:13:28.019><c> fullness</c><00:13:28.759><c> and</c><00:13:29.480><c> finality.</c>

00:13:31.259 --> 00:13:32.460
That's<00:13:31.539><c> what</c><00:13:31.759><c> God</c><00:13:31.980><c> is</c><00:13:32.159><c> saying.</c>

00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:36.279
He's<00:13:33.240><c> going</c><00:13:33.360><c> to</c><00:13:33.519><c> bring</c><00:13:33.639><c> it</c><00:13:34.820><c> to</c><00:13:35.259><c> an</c><00:13:35.399><c> end.</c>

00:13:36.820 --> 00:13:40.899
That<00:13:37.159><c> rebellion,</c><00:13:37.840><c> that</c><00:13:38.080><c> apostasy</c><00:13:38.639><c> that</c><00:13:38.799><c> goes</c><00:13:39.120><c> right</c><00:13:39.600><c> back</c><00:13:39.940><c> there</c><00:13:40.480><c> to</c>

00:13:40.899 --> 00:13:42.379
100<00:13:41.159><c> years</c><00:13:41.519><c> after</c><00:13:41.820><c> the</c><00:13:42.080><c> flood,</c>

00:13:42.379 --> 00:13:45.000
he<00:13:43.340><c> will</c><00:13:43.500><c> bring</c><00:13:43.779><c> to</c><00:13:44.000><c> an</c><00:13:44.139><c> end.</c>

00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:47.159
So<00:13:45.620><c> how</c><00:13:45.860><c> is</c><00:13:45.860><c> he</c><00:13:45.940><c> going</c><00:13:46.120><c> to</c><00:13:46.200><c> do</c><00:13:46.340><c> that?</c>

00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.279
Well,<00:13:48.360><c> he</c><00:13:48.440><c> started</c><00:13:48.779><c> with</c><00:13:48.980><c> one</c><00:13:49.159><c> man.</c>

00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:52.740

Your<00:13:59.240><c> fathers</c><00:14:00.340><c> dwelt</c><00:14:01.200><c> on</c><00:14:01.440><c> the</c><00:14:01.620><c> other</c><00:14:01.899><c> side</c><00:14:02.039><c> of</c><00:14:02.200><c> the</c><00:14:02.419><c> flood</c><00:14:02.580><c> in</c>

old<00:14:03.179><c> time,</c>

00:14:03.539 --> 00:14:08.100

00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:10.120
And<00:14:09.059><c> here</c><00:14:09.240><c> is</c><00:14:09.419><c> the</c><00:14:09.580><c> ziggurat.</c>

00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:15.379
They<00:14:10.840><c> think</c><00:14:11.120><c> that</c><00:14:11.320><c> the</c><00:14:11.480><c> Tower</c><00:14:11.659><c> of</c><00:14:11.919><c> Babel</c><00:14:12.080><c> was</c><00:14:12.340><c> probably</c><00:14:12.919><c> in</c><00:14:13.259><c> that</c><00:14:13.659><c> kind</c><00:14:14.200><c> of</c><00:14:14.539><c> shape.</c>

00:14:16.179 --> 00:14:17.620
So<00:14:16.259><c> here</c><00:14:16.539><c> it</c><00:14:16.659><c> is,</c><00:14:16.940><c> brethren</c><00:14:17.039><c> and</c><00:14:17.159><c> sisters.</c>

00:14:18.100 --> 00:14:22.039
God<00:14:18.460><c> is</c><00:14:18.679><c> going</c><00:14:18.820><c> to</c><00:14:19.059><c> take</c><00:14:19.360><c> one</c><00:14:19.759><c> man</c><00:14:20.179><c> from</c><00:14:20.480><c> the</c><00:14:20.720><c> very</c><00:14:21.360><c> heart</c><00:14:21.740><c> of</c>

Nimrud's<00:14:22.740><c> apostasy,</c>

00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:28.899
and<00:14:24.019><c> he's</c><00:14:24.139><c> going</c><00:14:24.320><c> to</c><00:14:24.679><c> start</c><00:14:25.360><c> the</c><00:14:25.700><c> process</c><00:14:26.299><c> to</c><00:14:26.919><c> reverse</c><00:14:27.320><c> everything</c><00:14:27.759><c> he</c><00:14:27.960><c> did.</c>

00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:31.440
So<00:14:30.759><c> here</c><00:14:30.879><c> it</c><00:14:31.019><c> is.</c>

00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:34.379
This<00:14:31.980><c> is</c><00:14:32.159><c> how</c><00:14:32.299><c> God</c><00:14:32.559><c> describes</c><00:14:33.299><c> what</c><00:14:33.500><c> he</c><00:14:33.600><c> did</c><00:14:33.740><c> with</c><00:14:33.919><c> Abraham.</c>

00:14:36.179 --> 00:14:39.460
Look<00:14:36.460><c> unto</c><00:14:36.740><c> Abraham,</c><00:14:37.379><c> your</c><00:14:37.519><c> father,</c><00:14:37.799><c> and</c><00:14:37.940><c> unto</c><00:14:38.159><c> Sarah</c><00:14:38.320><c> that</c><00:14:38.539><c> bear</c><00:14:38.679><c> you,</c><00:14:38.879><c> for</c><00:14:39.059><c> I</c>

00:14:39.460 --> 00:14:41.740
called<00:14:39.940><c> him</c><00:14:40.980><c> alone.</c>

00:14:41.860 --> 00:14:44.759
Now<00:14:42.120><c> God</c><00:14:42.340><c> wasn't</c><00:14:42.799><c> without</c><00:14:43.340><c> a</c><00:14:43.659><c> representative.</c>

00:14:45.100 --> 00:14:49.100
He<00:14:45.259><c> had</c><00:14:45.580><c> Melchizedek,</c><00:14:46.440><c> didn't</c><00:14:46.620><c> he,</c><00:14:46.799><c> in</c><00:14:47.039><c> Salem,</c><00:14:48.539><c> who</c><00:14:48.659><c> was</c><00:14:48.860><c> the</c>

00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.559
But<00:14:57.240><c> he</c><00:14:57.440><c> calls</c><00:14:58.039><c> this</c><00:14:58.399><c> man</c><00:14:58.840><c> alone,</c><00:15:00.039><c> and</c><00:15:00.200><c> he</c><00:15:00.460><c> blessed</c><00:15:00.720><c> him</c><00:15:01.240><c> and</c>

And<00:15:03.360><c> what</c><00:15:03.500><c> was</c><00:15:03.700><c> the</c><00:15:03.899><c> outcome?</c>

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:07.159
Well,<00:15:04.980><c> when</c><00:15:05.080><c> he</c><00:15:05.240><c> made</c><00:15:05.559><c> his</c><00:15:05.820><c> first</c><00:15:06.200><c> promise</c><00:15:06.519><c> to</c><00:15:06.799><c> him,</c>

00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.460

And<00:21:50.980><c> call</c><00:21:51.220><c> upon</c><00:21:51.559><c> his</c><00:21:51.900><c> name</c><00:21:52.400><c> in</c><00:21:52.819><c> purity.</c>

00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:04.960
That's<00:22:03.799><c> the</c><00:22:03.980><c> process.</c>

00:22:05.099 --> 00:22:06.400
It's<00:22:05.259><c> pretty</c><00:22:05.539><c> clear,</c><00:22:05.980><c> isn't</c><00:22:06.059><c> it?</c>

00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:09.380
And<00:22:06.759><c> most</c><00:22:07.000><c> of</c><00:22:07.160><c> us,</c><00:22:07.400><c> if</c><00:22:07.420><c> not</c><00:22:07.660><c> all</c><00:22:07.900><c> of</c><00:22:08.000><c> us</c><00:22:08.160><c> in</c><00:22:08.279><c> this</c><00:22:08.619><c> room,</c>

00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:15.799
And<00:22:12.740><c> so</c><00:22:13.119><c> will</c><00:22:13.339><c> everybody</c><00:22:13.700><c> else</c><00:22:14.059><c> who</c><00:22:14.180><c> comes</c><00:22:14.460><c> after</c><00:22:14.880><c> us,</c><00:22:15.160><c> brethren</c><00:22:15.259><c> and</c><00:22:15.440><c> sisters.</c>

00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:20.519
In<00:22:16.240><c> the</c><00:22:16.500><c> kingdom</c><00:22:16.700><c> age,</c><00:22:17.619><c> our</c><00:22:17.700><c> work</c><00:22:18.039><c> will</c><00:22:18.400><c> be</c><00:22:18.980><c> to</c><00:22:19.339><c> take</c><00:22:19.680><c> the</c><00:22:19.960><c> peoples</c><00:22:20.279><c> of</c>

this<00:22:20.799><c> earth</c>

00:22:21.059 --> 00:22:23.279
through<00:22:21.740><c> that</c><00:22:22.019><c> very</c><00:22:22.440><c> same</c><00:22:22.720><c> process,</c>

00:22:23.539 --> 00:22:27.920
when<00:22:24.140><c> God</c><00:22:24.619><c> has</c><00:22:24.960><c> expressed</c><00:22:25.480><c> his</c><00:22:25.940><c> fierce</c><00:22:26.339><c> anger</c><00:22:26.940><c> and</c><00:22:27.380><c> jealousy</c>

00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:35.720
and<00:22:29.079><c> eradicated</c><00:22:29.759><c> from</c><00:22:30.000><c> the</c><00:22:30.259><c> earth</c><00:22:30.660><c> every</c><00:22:31.440><c> steric</c><00:22:32.859><c> of</c><00:22:33.240><c> Nimrod's</c><00:22:33.920><c> rebellion</c><00:22:34.420><c> and</c><00:22:34.859><c> religion.</c>

00:22:36.019 --> 00:22:38.059
That's<00:22:36.319><c> what</c><00:22:36.460><c> he</c><00:22:36.599><c> means</c><00:22:36.940><c> in</c><00:22:37.160><c> verse</c><00:22:37.460><c> 9.</c>

00:22:38.059 --> 00:22:42.539
For<00:22:38.480><c> I</c><00:22:38.740><c> will</c><00:22:39.180><c> return</c><00:22:40.220><c> to</c><00:22:40.559><c> the</c><00:22:40.759><c> peoples</c><00:22:41.279><c> who</c><00:22:41.880><c> were</c><00:22:42.259><c> scattered</c>

back<00:22:42.900><c> there,</c>

00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:46.099

00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:49.619
That<00:22:46.440><c> they</c><00:22:46.660><c> might</c><00:22:46.880><c> all</c><00:22:47.359><c> call</c><00:22:47.640><c> upon</c><00:22:47.980><c> his</c><00:22:48.359><c> name,</c><00:22:48.700><c> his</c><00:22:49.140><c> Shem</c><00:22:49.400><c> as</c>

it<00:22:49.720><c> is</c><00:22:49.940><c> in</c><00:22:50.099><c> the</c><00:22:50.220><c> Hebrew,</c>

00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:56.819
to<00:22:51.759><c> serve</c><00:22:52.119><c> him</c><00:22:52.420><c> with</c><00:22:52.839><c> one</c><00:22:53.660><c> Shechem,</c><00:22:54.539><c> one</c><00:22:55.900><c> shoulder.</c>

00:22:57.900 --> 00:23:03.259
Well<00:22:58.160><c> then,</c><00:23:00.000><c> if</c><00:23:00.160><c> he</c><00:23:00.380><c> started</c><00:23:00.619><c> with</c><00:23:00.839><c> Abraham</c><00:23:01.359><c> and</c><00:23:02.180><c> called</c><00:23:02.480><c> him</c><00:23:02.720><c> alone,</c>

00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:08.339
why<00:23:03.940><c> wouldn't</c><00:23:04.319><c> he</c><00:23:04.579><c> use</c><00:23:04.779><c> the</c><00:23:05.079><c> same</c><00:23:05.759><c> method</c><00:23:06.359><c> with</c><00:23:06.920><c> Abraham's</c>

00:23:08.339 --> 00:23:11.900
nation,<00:23:09.460><c> his</c><00:23:09.680><c> family,</c><00:23:10.960><c> Israel?</c>

00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:14.440
So<00:23:12.359><c> here</c><00:23:12.599><c> is</c><00:23:12.759><c> God's</c><00:23:13.039><c> purpose</c><00:23:13.299><c> with</c><00:23:13.500><c> Israel.</c>

00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:15.859
Amos<00:23:14.920><c> 3</c><00:23:15.119><c> verse</c><00:23:15.400><c> 2,</c>

00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:19.559
You<00:23:16.059><c> only</c><00:23:16.480><c> have</c><00:23:16.660><c> I</c><00:23:16.900><c> known</c><00:23:17.099><c> of</c><00:23:17.319><c> all</c><00:23:17.859><c> the</c><00:23:18.099><c> families</c><00:23:18.420><c> of</c><00:23:18.619><c> the</c><00:23:18.799><c> earth,</c><00:23:19.140><c> he</c><00:23:19.200><c> says.</c>

00:23:20.059 --> 00:23:22.700
So<00:23:20.240><c> has</c><00:23:20.420><c> I</c><00:23:20.579><c> started</c><00:23:20.859><c> with</c><00:23:21.220><c> Abraham</c><00:23:21.660><c> alone?</c>

00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:27.500
You<00:23:23.319><c> as</c><00:23:23.559><c> a</c><00:23:23.700><c> nation,</c><00:23:24.740><c> I've</c><00:23:25.039><c> only</c><00:23:25.460><c> known</c><00:23:25.759><c> you</c><00:23:26.079><c> of</c><00:23:26.420><c> all</c><00:23:26.940><c> the</c><00:23:27.140><c> families</c><00:23:27.339><c> of</c>

00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:27.960
the<00:23:27.640><c> earth.</c>

00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:29.779
Numbers<00:23:28.519><c> 23</c><00:23:28.960><c> verse</c><00:23:29.339><c> 9,</c>

00:23:30.140 --> 00:23:32.119
The<00:23:30.240><c> people</c><00:23:30.619><c> shall</c><00:23:30.880><c> dwell</c><00:23:31.140><c> alone,</c><00:23:31.599><c> he</c><00:23:31.799><c> says.</c>

00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:33.299
He's<00:23:32.380><c> talking</c><00:23:32.599><c> about</c><00:23:32.839><c> Israel.</c>

00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:36.839
And<00:23:33.759><c> shall</c><00:23:34.039><c> not</c><00:23:34.500><c> be</c><00:23:34.799><c> reckoned</c><00:23:35.559><c> among</c><00:23:36.039><c> the</c><00:23:36.380><c> nations.</c>

00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:40.079
So<00:23:37.400><c> he</c><00:23:37.700><c> separated</c><00:23:38.200><c> Israel</c><00:23:38.819><c> for</c><00:23:39.380><c> a</c><00:23:39.640><c> purpose,</c>

00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:42.640
just<00:23:40.579><c> as</c><00:23:40.779><c> he</c><00:23:40.920><c> separated</c><00:23:41.299><c> Abraham,</c><00:23:41.980><c> brethren</c><00:23:42.119><c> and</c><00:23:42.279><c> sisters.</c>

00:23:43.019 --> 00:23:45.859
And<00:23:43.180><c> this</c><00:23:43.599><c> is</c><00:23:44.000><c> the</c><00:23:44.220><c> final</c><00:23:44.599><c> outcome.</c>

00:23:46.220 --> 00:23:50.980
When<00:23:46.339><c> Gabriel</c><00:23:46.880><c> came</c><00:23:47.559><c> to</c><00:23:47.940><c> Mary</c><00:23:48.240><c> in</c><00:23:48.480><c> Luke</c><00:23:48.759><c> chapter</c><00:23:49.140><c> 1</c><00:23:49.400><c> and</c><00:23:49.559><c> verse</c><00:23:49.819><c> 33,</c>

00:23:51.099 --> 00:23:54.559
this<00:23:51.180><c> was</c><00:23:51.519><c> part</c><00:23:51.779><c> of</c><00:23:51.920><c> the</c><00:23:52.160><c> promise</c><00:23:52.380><c> that</c><00:23:52.559><c> he</c><00:23:52.720><c> gave</c><00:23:52.960><c> to</c><00:23:53.180><c> her</c><00:23:53.420><c> concerning</c><00:23:53.980><c> the</c>

00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:55.359
Son<00:23:54.799><c> of</c><00:23:55.039><c> God.</c>

00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:58.759
He<00:23:55.960><c> shall</c><00:23:56.299><c> reign</c><00:23:56.779><c> over</c><00:23:57.160><c> the</c><00:23:57.480><c> house</c><00:23:57.799><c> of</c><00:23:58.279><c> Jacob.</c>

00:23:59.059 --> 00:24:00.980
That's<00:23:59.440><c> interesting,</c><00:23:59.839><c> he</c><00:23:59.880><c> doesn't</c><00:24:00.200><c> say</c><00:24:00.460><c> Israel.</c>

00:24:00.980 --> 00:24:04.559
Over<00:24:01.640><c> the</c><00:24:01.859><c> house</c><00:24:02.180><c> of</c><00:24:02.640><c> Jacob</c><00:24:03.160><c> forever.</c>

00:24:04.740 --> 00:24:07.400
So<00:24:04.839><c> this</c><00:24:05.099><c> is</c><00:24:05.420><c> natural</c><00:24:05.980><c> Israel.</c>

00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:09.519
Restored<00:24:08.200><c> to</c><00:24:08.420><c> the</c><00:24:08.619><c> land.</c>

00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:12.440
That's<00:24:10.220><c> a</c><00:24:10.319><c> work</c><00:24:10.460><c> of</c><00:24:10.640><c> 40</c><00:24:10.880><c> years</c><00:24:11.220><c> as</c><00:24:11.400><c> we</c><00:24:11.579><c> know.</c>

00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:15.480
But<00:24:12.559><c> when</c><00:24:12.720><c> that</c><00:24:13.000><c> work's</c><00:24:13.299><c> done</c><00:24:13.500><c> he</c><00:24:13.640><c> will</c><00:24:14.019><c> reign</c><00:24:14.440><c> over</c><00:24:14.779><c> the</c><00:24:14.940><c> house</c><00:24:15.200><c> of</c>

00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:17.519
Jacob<00:24:16.059><c> forever.</c>

00:24:18.140 --> 00:24:21.400
And<00:24:18.400><c> of</c><00:24:18.680><c> his</c><00:24:19.039><c> kingdom</c><00:24:19.440><c> there</c><00:24:19.779><c> shall</c><00:24:20.079><c> be</c><00:24:20.339><c> no</c><00:24:20.599><c> end.</c>

00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:24.039
We<00:24:21.759><c> need</c><00:24:21.880><c> to</c><00:24:22.140><c> stop</c><00:24:22.460><c> and</c><00:24:22.619><c> think</c><00:24:22.819><c> about</c><00:24:23.099><c> that.</c>

00:24:25.299 --> 00:24:29.819
Of<00:24:25.619><c> Christ's</c><00:24:26.259><c> kingdom</c><00:24:26.680><c> there</c><00:24:27.019><c> will</c><00:24:27.440><c> be</c><00:24:28.400><c> an</c><00:24:28.920><c> end.</c>

00:24:30.259 --> 00:24:33.359
We<00:24:31.019><c> are</c><00:24:31.299><c> told</c><00:24:31.640><c> that,</c><00:24:31.940><c> are</c><00:24:32.180><c> we</c><00:24:32.339><c> not?</c>

00:24:33.740 --> 00:24:36.259
In<00:24:33.779><c> 1</c><00:24:34.119><c> Corinthians</c><00:24:34.599><c> 15</c><00:24:35.180><c> and</c><00:24:35.400><c> verse</c><00:24:35.619><c> 24,</c>

00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:38.839
Then<00:24:36.880><c> cometh</c><00:24:37.599><c> the</c><00:24:37.920><c> end,</c>

00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:42.859
when<00:24:39.200><c> he,</c><00:24:39.759><c> Christ,</c><00:24:40.460><c> shall</c><00:24:40.700><c> deliver</c><00:24:41.039><c> up</c><00:24:41.359><c> the</c><00:24:41.519><c> kingdom</c><00:24:42.019><c> to</c><00:24:42.400><c> God.</c>

00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:47.940
So<00:24:43.380><c> his,</c><00:24:44.119><c> Christ's</c><00:24:44.940><c> kingdom,</c><00:24:45.880><c> does</c><00:24:46.460><c> have</c><00:24:47.400><c> an</c><00:24:47.680><c> end.</c>

00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:50.900
It<00:24:48.400><c> lasts</c><00:24:48.859><c> for</c><00:24:49.259><c> a</c><00:24:49.359><c> thousand</c><00:24:49.759><c> years.</c>

00:24:50.980 --> 00:24:54.940
And<00:24:51.200><c> then</c><00:24:51.380><c> he</c><00:24:51.559><c> gives</c><00:24:52.019><c> the</c><00:24:52.319><c> kingdom</c><00:24:53.039><c> back</c><00:24:53.720><c> to</c><00:24:53.980><c> God.</c>

00:24:55.099 --> 00:24:56.819
So<00:24:55.319><c> this</c><00:24:55.599><c> can't</c><00:24:55.960><c> mean</c><00:24:56.359><c> time.</c>

00:24:56.819 --> 00:25:00.700
This<00:24:57.759><c> promise</c><00:24:58.319><c> that</c><00:24:58.619><c> Gabriel</c><00:24:59.079><c> made</c><00:24:59.519><c> in</c><00:24:59.680><c> Luke</c><00:24:59.900><c> chapter</c><00:25:00.259><c> 1</c><00:25:00.400><c> is</c>

00:25:04.779 --> 00:25:06.819
It's<00:25:04.980><c> talking</c><00:25:05.319><c> about</c><00:25:05.660><c> extent.</c>

00:25:08.019 --> 00:25:09.960
And<00:25:08.079><c> if</c><00:25:08.180><c> you</c><00:25:08.259><c> want</c><00:25:08.380><c> to</c><00:25:08.500><c> know</c><00:25:08.619><c> how</c><00:25:08.880><c> to</c><00:25:09.059><c> prove</c><00:25:09.279><c> that,</c>

00:25:10.339 --> 00:25:14.940
this<00:25:10.599><c> promise</c><00:25:11.000><c> comes</c><00:25:11.339><c> from</c><00:25:11.579><c> Isaiah</c><00:25:12.019><c> chapter</c><00:25:12.420><c> 9</c><00:25:12.819><c> verses</c><00:25:13.180><c> 6</c><00:25:13.579><c> and</c><00:25:13.819><c> 7.</c>

00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:17.940
You<00:25:15.099><c> know</c><00:25:15.180><c> what</c><00:25:15.380><c> Isaiah</c><00:25:15.700><c> 9</c><00:25:16.079><c> verse</c><00:25:16.480><c> 7</c><00:25:17.000><c> says?</c>

00:25:18.460 --> 00:25:22.940
It<00:25:18.799><c> says</c><00:25:19.500><c> that</c><00:25:19.980><c> of</c><00:25:20.180><c> the</c><00:25:20.480><c> increase</c><00:25:21.160><c> of</c><00:25:21.460><c> his</c><00:25:21.740><c> government,</c>

00:25:28.059 --> 00:25:30.940
Now<00:25:28.299><c> how</c><00:25:28.539><c> do</c><00:25:28.640><c> you</c><00:25:28.839><c> increase</c><00:25:29.660><c> government?</c>

00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:35.299
Well<00:25:31.420><c> you</c><00:25:31.559><c> increase</c><00:25:32.359><c> government</c><00:25:33.000><c> by</c><00:25:33.359><c> increasing</c><00:25:34.359><c> the</c><00:25:34.960><c> number</c>

00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:44.359
So<00:25:41.960><c> when</c><00:25:42.140><c> we</c><00:25:42.359><c> read</c><00:25:42.579><c> here,</c><00:25:42.960><c> of</c><00:25:43.140><c> his</c><00:25:43.420><c> kingdom</c><00:25:43.740><c> there</c><00:25:43.980><c> shall</c><00:25:44.160><c> be</c>

00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:23.779

That's<00:26:52.180><c> the</c><00:26:52.240><c> principle</c><00:26:52.700><c> of</c><00:26:52.900><c> Luke</c><00:26:53.099><c> 1.</c>

00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:56.380

You<00:33:42.740><c> know,</c><00:33:42.819><c> it's</c><00:33:43.160><c> typical</c><00:33:43.480><c> of</c><00:33:43.720><c> our</c><00:33:43.920><c> God,</c><00:33:44.319><c> my</c><00:33:44.359><c> brothers</c><00:33:44.380><c> and</c><00:33:45.160><c> sisters,</c>

Firstly,<00:41:34.659><c> of</c><00:41:34.860><c> course,</c><00:41:35.199><c> we</c><00:41:35.199><c> need</c><00:41:35.420><c> to</c><00:41:35.519><c> look</c><00:41:35.719><c> at</c><00:41:35.760><c> that</c><00:41:36.000><c> millennial</c><00:41:36.480><c> period.</c>

00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:40.119
There<00:41:37.719><c> is</c><00:41:37.960><c> a</c><00:41:38.059><c> couple</c><00:41:38.300><c> of</c><00:41:38.599><c> periods</c><00:41:38.900><c> that</c><00:41:39.099><c> begin</c><00:41:39.480><c> and</c><00:41:39.699><c> end</c><00:41:39.880><c> it.</c>

00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:42.639
We've<00:41:40.719><c> been</c><00:41:40.900><c> talking</c><00:41:41.179><c> to</c><00:41:41.340><c> the</c><00:41:41.500><c> young</c><00:41:41.679><c> people</c><00:41:41.940><c> about</c><00:41:42.179><c> this</c><00:41:42.440><c> one</c>

00:41:51.380 --> 00:41:54.460
He<00:41:51.460><c> will</c><00:41:51.679><c> be</c><00:41:51.820><c> subdued</c><00:41:52.300><c> and</c><00:41:52.659><c> bound</c><00:41:53.059><c> for</c><00:41:53.519><c> a</c><00:41:53.639><c> thousand</c><00:41:53.980><c> years.</c>

00:41:54.659 --> 00:41:56.440

00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:48.039
We<00:42:45.099><c> know</c><00:42:45.320><c> this</c><00:42:45.500><c> from</c><00:42:45.719><c> Isaiah</c><00:42:46.179><c> 17</c><00:42:46.679><c> verses</c><00:42:47.099><c> 12</c><00:42:47.400><c> and</c><00:42:47.559><c> 13,</c>

00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:57.840
The<00:42:53.719><c> sea</c><00:42:54.320><c> represents</c><00:42:55.119><c> nations,</c><00:42:56.159><c> peoples,</c><00:42:56.639><c> and</c><00:42:56.860><c> tongues.</c>

00:42:59.380 --> 00:43:01.619
We<00:42:59.500><c> looked</c><00:42:59.780><c> at</c><00:42:59.940><c> this</c><00:43:00.360><c> in</c><00:43:00.679><c> one</c><00:43:00.860><c> of</c><00:43:00.980><c> our</c><00:43:01.219><c> studies.</c>

00:43:01.940 --> 00:43:06.079
In<00:43:01.960><c> Jeremiah</c><00:43:02.500><c> 30</c><00:43:02.960><c> verse</c><00:43:03.260><c> 11</c><00:43:03.639><c> and</c><00:43:03.940><c> 46,</c><00:43:04.539><c> 28,</c><00:43:05.300><c> God</c><00:43:05.300><c> said,</c>

00:43:15.820 --> 00:43:21.860
John<00:43:16.460><c> sees</c><00:43:17.099><c> a</c><00:43:18.400><c> situation</c><00:43:19.260><c> where</c><00:43:20.019><c> the</c><00:43:20.400><c> former</c><00:43:20.940><c> heavens</c><00:43:21.360><c> and</c><00:43:21.639><c> earth,</c>

the<00:43:22.179><c> millennial,</c><00:43:22.900><c> have</c><00:43:23.099><c> passed.</c>

00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:27.980
And<00:43:24.760><c> now</c><00:43:25.099><c> there</c><00:43:25.239><c> is</c><00:43:25.559><c> no</c><00:43:25.960><c> more</c><00:43:26.340><c> sea,</c><00:43:26.920><c> no</c><00:43:27.280><c> more</c><00:43:27.539><c> nations.</c>

There's<00:43:28.619><c> only</c><00:43:28.940><c> one</c><00:43:29.159><c> left.</c>

00:43:31.380 --> 00:43:33.860
And<00:43:31.460><c> that's</c><00:43:31.960><c> the</c><00:43:32.019><c> nation</c><00:43:32.500><c> of</c><00:43:32.800><c> Israel.</c>

00:43:37.980 --> 00:43:40.739
are<00:43:38.320><c> one</c><00:43:38.500><c> of</c><00:43:38.619><c> those</c><00:43:38.960><c> magnificent</c><00:43:39.719><c> pieces</c><00:43:40.079><c> of</c><00:43:40.320><c> Scripture</c>

00:43:40.739 --> 00:43:44.519
that<00:43:41.159><c> actually</c><00:43:41.719><c> takes</c><00:43:42.059><c> us</c><00:43:42.480><c> beyond</c><00:43:43.059><c> the</c><00:43:43.460><c> millennium.</c>

00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:47.420
The<00:43:45.300><c> balance</c><00:43:45.659><c> of</c><00:43:45.860><c> the</c><00:43:46.000><c> chapter</c><00:43:46.300><c> from</c><00:43:46.519><c> verse</c><00:43:46.780><c> 9</c><00:43:47.079><c> onwards</c>

00:43:47.420 --> 00:43:49.340
tells<00:43:47.760><c> you</c><00:43:48.280><c> how</c><00:43:48.579><c> we</c><00:43:48.780><c> get</c><00:43:49.039><c> there.</c>

00:43:49.340 --> 00:43:54.280
But<00:43:50.300><c> the</c><00:43:50.539><c> first</c><00:43:50.960><c> eight</c><00:43:51.340><c> verses</c><00:43:52.179><c> draw</c><00:43:53.099><c> aside</c><00:43:53.599><c> the</c><00:43:53.880><c> curtain</c>

00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:57.760
and<00:43:54.860><c> take</c><00:43:55.400><c> us</c><00:43:55.599><c> into</c><00:43:55.800><c> that</c><00:43:56.079><c> era</c><00:43:56.420><c> of</c><00:43:56.780><c> time,</c>

00:43:57.820 --> 00:44:01.400
which<00:43:57.840><c> Paul</c><00:43:58.199><c> said</c><00:43:58.500><c> was</c><00:43:58.760><c> almost</c><00:43:59.300><c> beyond</c><00:44:00.159><c> the</c><00:44:00.699><c> ability</c>

00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:03.900
of<00:44:01.880><c> human</c><00:44:02.139><c> beings</c><00:44:02.500><c> to</c><00:44:02.820><c> appreciate.</c>

00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:08.860
It's<00:44:04.400><c> just</c><00:44:05.139><c> too</c><00:44:05.960><c> wonderful,</c><00:44:06.920><c> too</c><00:44:07.539><c> supreme.</c>

00:44:09.420 --> 00:44:12.820
But<00:44:09.539><c> here</c><00:44:09.719><c> we've</c><00:44:10.059><c> got</c><00:44:10.300><c> a</c><00:44:10.500><c> glimpse</c><00:44:10.840><c> of</c><00:44:11.639><c> what</c><00:44:12.079><c> it</c><00:44:12.420><c> is</c>

00:44:12.820 --> 00:44:15.579
and<00:44:13.300><c> where</c><00:44:13.559><c> its</c><00:44:13.840><c> foundations</c><00:44:14.559><c> are.</c>

00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:19.579
It<00:44:16.280><c> is</c><00:44:16.760><c> the</c><00:44:17.000><c> perfected</c><00:44:18.059><c> nation</c><00:44:18.599><c> of</c><00:44:18.980><c> Israel.</c>

00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:21.159
That's<00:44:20.000><c> what</c><00:44:20.159><c> it</c><00:44:20.300><c> is,</c><00:44:20.559><c> brethren</c><00:44:20.699><c> and</c><00:44:20.840><c> sisters.</c>

00:44:21.579 --> 00:44:23.059
And<00:44:21.699><c> we</c><00:44:22.159><c> spoke</c><00:44:22.440><c> about</c><00:44:22.699><c> this,</c><00:44:22.920><c> didn't</c><00:44:23.000><c> we?</c>

00:44:23.059 --> 00:44:25.619
Just<00:44:23.280><c> as</c><00:44:23.500><c> a</c><00:44:23.679><c> reminder,</c><00:44:24.500><c> this</c><00:44:24.639><c> was</c><00:44:24.880><c> all</c><00:44:25.159><c> prefigured</c>

00:44:25.619 --> 00:44:27.059
by<00:44:25.880><c> the</c><00:44:26.079><c> Feast</c><00:44:26.280><c> of</c><00:44:26.539><c> Tabernacles,</c>

00:44:27.139 --> 00:44:29.460
the<00:44:27.380><c> feast</c><00:44:27.639><c> that</c><00:44:27.840><c> the</c><00:44:28.039><c> nations</c><00:44:28.260><c> will</c><00:44:28.500><c> keep</c><00:44:28.679><c> in</c><00:44:28.820><c> the</c><00:44:28.920><c> millennium.</c>

00:44:29.820 --> 00:44:32.039
So<00:44:30.000><c> for</c><00:44:30.320><c> a</c><00:44:30.460><c> thousand</c><00:44:30.920><c> years</c><00:44:31.219><c> they</c><00:44:31.360><c> will</c><00:44:31.579><c> come</c><00:44:31.800><c> up</c>

00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:34.239
and<00:44:32.280><c> keep</c><00:44:32.440><c> this</c><00:44:32.800><c> feast</c><00:44:33.079><c> every</c><00:44:33.820><c> year.</c>

00:44:34.420 --> 00:44:38.219
And<00:44:34.639><c> over</c><00:44:34.900><c> seven</c><00:44:35.179><c> days,</c><00:44:35.980><c> 70</c><00:44:36.340><c> bullocks,</c><00:44:37.679><c> 70,</c>

00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:41.059

00:44:41.239 --> 00:44:43.199
And<00:44:41.480><c> we</c><00:44:41.659><c> know</c><00:44:41.860><c> how</c><00:44:42.059><c> that</c><00:44:42.260><c> was</c><00:44:42.599><c> done.</c>

00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:45.320
Starting<00:44:43.719><c> with</c><00:44:43.960><c> 13</c><00:44:44.300><c> on</c><00:44:44.539><c> day</c><00:44:44.960><c> one,</c>

00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:47.719
going<00:44:45.760><c> down</c><00:44:46.159><c> one</c><00:44:46.360><c> each</c><00:44:46.679><c> day</c><00:44:46.900><c> to</c><00:44:47.079><c> day</c><00:44:47.320><c> seven,</c>

00:44:47.980 --> 00:44:50.820
coming<00:44:48.119><c> down</c><00:44:48.360><c> to</c><00:44:48.559><c> seven,</c><00:44:48.880><c> there</c><00:44:48.880><c> was</c><00:44:49.119><c> a</c><00:44:49.320><c> total</c><00:44:49.539><c> of</c><00:44:49.860><c> 70.</c>

00:44:50.980 --> 00:44:52.320
That's<00:44:51.260><c> the</c><00:44:51.360><c> number</c><00:44:51.539><c> of</c><00:44:51.659><c> the</c><00:44:51.880><c> nations,</c>

00:44:52.699 --> 00:44:54.420
as<00:44:52.900><c> we</c><00:44:53.119><c> saw</c><00:44:53.320><c> in</c><00:44:53.519><c> Genesis</c><00:44:53.900><c> 10.</c>

00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:56.679
So<00:44:54.840><c> the</c><00:44:55.039><c> nations</c><00:44:55.360><c> will</c><00:44:55.699><c> keep</c><00:44:56.000><c> this</c><00:44:56.440><c> feast.</c>

00:44:57.039 --> 00:45:00.239

00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:15.860
That,<00:45:14.639><c> brethren</c><00:45:14.800><c> and</c><00:45:15.099><c> sisters,</c>

00:46:21.059 --> 00:46:24.119
This<00:46:21.159><c> city</c><00:46:21.460><c> is</c><00:46:21.780><c> dominated</c><00:46:22.340><c> by</c><00:46:22.719><c> 12,</c><00:46:23.219><c> 12</c><00:46:23.659><c> gates,</c>

00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:32.019
In<00:46:29.239><c> fact,</c><00:46:30.099><c> if</c><00:46:30.280><c> you</c><00:46:30.519><c> like</c><00:46:30.739><c> to</c><00:46:30.960><c> be</c><00:46:31.159><c> a</c><00:46:31.239><c> little</c><00:46:31.480><c> bit</c><00:46:31.679><c> alas,</c>

00:46:32.019 --> 00:46:34.880
and<00:46:32.960><c> you</c><00:46:33.139><c> take</c><00:46:33.460><c> the</c><00:46:33.619><c> number</c><00:46:33.940><c> 144,</c>

00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:37.219
because<00:46:35.300><c> that's</c><00:46:35.659><c> the</c><00:46:35.719><c> height</c><00:46:35.920><c> of</c><00:46:36.079><c> the</c><00:46:36.300><c> wall,</c>

00:46:42.300 --> 00:46:44.320
So<00:46:42.500><c> can</c><00:46:42.719><c> we</c><00:46:42.960><c> just</c><00:46:43.179><c> have</c><00:46:43.320><c> a</c><00:46:43.380><c> little</c><00:46:43.619><c> bit</c><00:46:43.780><c> of</c><00:46:43.980><c> mercy</c>

and<00:46:44.699><c> say</c><00:46:44.860><c> that</c><00:46:45.039><c> that's</c><00:46:45.320><c> two</c><00:46:45.619><c> 12s?</c>

00:46:47.179 --> 00:46:49.260
If<00:46:47.639><c> so,</c><00:46:48.059><c> brethren</c><00:46:48.199><c> and</c><00:46:48.360><c> sisters,</c>

00:46:49.340 --> 00:46:54.239

00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:58.960
So<00:46:55.340><c> this</c><00:46:55.619><c> is</c><00:46:55.900><c> a</c><00:46:56.019><c> city,</c><00:46:56.980><c> but</c><00:46:57.219><c> it's</c><00:46:57.440><c> not</c><00:46:57.659><c> a</c><00:46:57.800><c> literal</c><00:46:58.039><c> city.</c>

00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:01.639
It<00:46:59.320><c> would</c><00:46:59.500><c> be</c><00:46:59.739><c> ludicrous</c><00:47:00.159><c> if</c><00:47:00.320><c> you</c><00:47:00.639><c> tried</c><00:47:00.860><c> to</c><00:47:01.119><c> build</c><00:47:01.239><c> a</c><00:47:01.460><c> city</c>

00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:06.940
It's<00:47:04.579><c> not</c><00:47:05.139><c> a</c><00:47:05.260><c> city</c><00:47:05.579><c> of</c><00:47:05.860><c> buildings.</c>

00:47:07.219 --> 00:47:08.619
It<00:47:07.239><c> is</c><00:47:07.519><c> a</c><00:47:07.619><c> city</c><00:47:07.940><c> of</c><00:47:08.260><c> people,</c>

00:47:11.860 --> 00:47:15.019
the<00:47:12.079><c> Israel</c><00:47:12.539><c> of</c><00:47:12.840><c> God</c><00:47:13.239><c> in</c><00:47:13.599><c> its</c><00:47:13.920><c> final</c><00:47:14.199><c> manifestation.</c>

00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:17.900
We<00:47:15.659><c> are</c><00:47:15.880><c> actually</c><00:47:16.199><c> told</c><00:47:16.760><c> in</c><00:47:16.960><c> Revelation</c><00:47:17.420><c> 21</c>

00:47:17.900 --> 00:47:21.099
that<00:47:18.019><c> it's</c><00:47:18.340><c> 12</c><00:47:18.980><c>,000</c><00:47:19.780><c> furlongs</c><00:47:20.719><c> square.</c>

00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:24.099
Now<00:47:21.619><c> that's</c><00:47:22.059><c> 2</c><00:47:22.599><c>,400</c><00:47:22.980><c> kilometers.</c>

00:47:24.820 --> 00:47:27.800
Of<00:47:25.139><c> course</c><00:47:25.440><c> it's</c><00:47:25.780><c> obvious</c><00:47:26.059><c> it's</c><00:47:26.500><c> not</c><00:47:26.800><c> literal.</c>

00:47:32.440 --> 00:47:36.380
This<00:47:33.039><c> represents</c><00:47:33.980><c> the</c><00:47:34.300><c> whole</c><00:47:35.119><c> family</c><00:47:35.599><c> of</c><00:47:35.780><c> Israel</c>

00:47:38.780 --> 00:47:40.400
That's<00:47:38.880><c> why</c><00:47:39.119><c> it's</c><00:47:39.400><c> a</c><00:47:39.719><c> cube.</c>
