And<00:05:44.920><c> here</c><00:05:45.079><c> we</c><00:05:45.439><c> have</c><00:05:45.740><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:05:47.300><c> associated</c><00:05:48.319><c> with</c><00:05:48.639><c> an</c><00:05:48.980><c> ox</c>

00:05:49.339 --> 00:05:50.800
and<00:05:49.819><c> with</c><00:05:50.060><c> an</c><00:05:50.339><c> eagle.</c>

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:55.939
And<00:05:51.480><c> here</c><00:05:51.759><c> this</c><00:05:52.160><c> image,</c><00:05:53.519><c> these</c><00:05:54.540><c> four</c><00:05:54.899><c> living</c><00:05:55.120><c> creatures</c><00:05:55.660><c> have</c>

00:05:55.939 --> 00:05:59.459
the<00:05:56.139><c> face</c><00:05:56.399><c> of</c><00:05:56.600><c> an</c><00:05:56.899><c> ox</c><00:05:57.220><c> and</c><00:05:57.680><c> the</c><00:05:57.879><c> face</c><00:05:58.120><c> of</c><00:05:58.319><c> an</c><00:05:58.560><c> eagle.</c>

00:05:59.779 --> 00:06:04.600
And<00:06:00.060><c> then</c><00:06:00.220><c> I</c><00:06:00.660><c> continue</c><00:06:01.120><c> that</c><00:06:01.519><c> further.</c><00:06:02.860><c> Remember,</c><00:06:03.139><c> there's</c><00:06:03.399><c> also</c><00:06:03.759><c> the</c><00:06:03.959><c> face</c><00:06:04.199><c> of</c><00:06:04.439><c> a</c>

00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:06.879
lion<00:06:04.939><c> and</c><00:06:05.199><c> the</c><00:06:05.459><c> face</c><00:06:05.660><c> of</c><00:06:05.899><c> a</c><00:06:06.019><c> man.</c>

00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:12.300
And<00:06:07.879><c> if</c><00:06:08.279><c> we</c><00:06:08.480><c> look</c><00:06:08.720><c> at</c><00:06:09.160><c> Daniel's</c><00:06:10.699><c> vision</c><00:06:11.180><c> in</c><00:06:11.399><c> Chapter</c><00:06:11.779><c> 7,</c><00:06:12.139><c> where</c>

00:06:12.300 --> 00:06:16.579
we<00:06:12.560><c> have</c><00:06:12.720><c> the</c><00:06:13.060><c> four</c><00:06:13.360><c> beasts,</c><00:06:15.139><c> we</c><00:06:16.079><c> read</c><00:06:16.300><c> this.</c>

00:06:16.579 --> 00:06:22.060
The<00:06:16.759><c> first</c><00:06:17.120><c> was</c><00:06:17.319><c> like</c><00:06:17.899><c> a</c><00:06:18.180><c> lion</c><00:06:18.540><c> and</c><00:06:19.060><c> had</c><00:06:19.540><c> eagle's</c><00:06:20.319><c> wings.</c><00:06:21.259><c> I</c><00:06:21.480><c> beheld</c><00:06:21.860><c> to</c>

00:06:22.060 --> 00:06:24.079
the<00:06:22.259><c> wings</c><00:06:22.660><c> thereof</c><00:06:23.240><c> replucked,</c>

00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.980
and<00:06:24.360><c> it</c><00:06:24.519><c> was</c><00:06:24.800><c> lifted</c><00:06:25.060><c> up</c><00:06:25.300><c> from</c><00:06:25.480><c> the</c><00:06:25.699><c> earth</c><00:06:25.939><c> and</c><00:06:26.439><c> made</c><00:06:26.720><c> stand</c><00:06:27.060><c> upon</c><00:06:27.379><c> the</c><00:06:27.620><c> feet</c><00:06:27.740><c> as</c>

00:06:27.980 --> 00:06:30.480
a<00:06:28.139><c> man,</c><00:06:28.540><c> and</c><00:06:28.759><c> a</c><00:06:28.920><c> man's</c><00:06:29.379><c> heart</c><00:06:29.660><c> was</c><00:06:29.959><c> given</c><00:06:30.160><c> to</c><00:06:30.379><c> it.</c>

00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.360
So<00:06:30.639><c> there</c><00:06:30.759><c> we've</c><00:06:31.120><c> got</c><00:06:31.560><c> the</c><00:06:31.879><c> lion</c><00:06:32.339><c> and</c><00:06:33.180><c> the</c><00:06:33.420><c> man.</c>

00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:43.040
And<00:06:36.600><c> the</c><00:06:36.939><c> first</c><00:06:37.420><c> of</c><00:06:38.160><c> those</c><00:06:38.600><c> beasts</c><00:06:39.120><c> in</c><00:06:39.560><c> Daniel's</c><00:06:41.160><c> vision</c><00:06:41.439><c> in</c><00:06:41.680><c> Chapter</c><00:06:42.100><c> 7</c>

00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:48.199
probably<00:06:44.120><c> coincides</c><00:06:45.220><c> with</c><00:06:45.579><c> the</c><00:06:45.899><c> four</c><00:06:46.199><c> metals</c><00:06:46.560><c> of</c><00:06:46.819><c> the</c><00:06:47.040><c> metallic</c><00:06:47.560><c> image</c>

00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:49.839
in<00:06:48.600><c> Chapter</c><00:06:49.060><c> 2.</c>

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:57.699
And<00:06:50.399><c> you</c><00:06:50.500><c> know</c><00:06:50.699><c> the</c><00:06:50.920><c> head</c><00:06:51.500><c> in</c><00:06:52.620><c> that</c><00:06:52.879><c> metallic</c><00:06:53.339><c> image</c><00:06:53.860><c> is</c><00:06:54.360><c> identified</c><00:06:55.180><c> as</c><00:06:55.660><c> Nebuchadnezzar,</c><00:06:57.180><c> and</c><00:06:57.519><c> so</c>

00:06:57.699 --> 00:06:58.379
the<00:06:57.980><c> lion.</c>

00:06:58.379 --> 00:07:06.480
And<00:06:58.980><c> that</c><00:06:59.199><c> seems</c><00:06:59.560><c> to</c><00:06:59.860><c> be</c><00:07:00.279><c> the</c><00:07:00.620><c> popular</c><00:07:01.079><c> interpretation</c><00:07:01.980><c> of</c><00:07:02.319><c> the</c><00:07:02.540><c> lion</c><00:07:02.740><c> and</c><00:07:03.100><c> certainly</c><00:07:03.540><c> the</c><00:07:04.740><c> correct</c><00:07:04.740><c> interpretation</c><00:07:05.819><c> of</c>

00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:07.079
the<00:07:06.759><c> head.</c>

00:07:07.500 --> 00:07:13.180
Remember<00:07:07.899><c> in</c><00:07:08.160><c> Chapter</c><00:07:08.459><c> 2</c><00:07:09.240><c> how</c><00:07:10.180><c> Daniel</c><00:07:10.779><c> identified</c><00:07:11.899><c> before</c><00:07:12.699><c> Nebuchadnezzar.</c>

00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.379
This<00:07:13.379><c> is</c><00:07:13.579><c> Nebuchadnezzar's</c><00:07:14.339><c> dream</c><00:07:14.500><c> and</c><00:07:14.680><c> he's</c><00:07:15.060><c> interpreting</c>

00:07:15.379 --> 00:07:19.000
it.<00:07:16.040><c> And</c><00:07:16.240><c> he</c><00:07:16.379><c> says</c><00:07:16.660><c> to</c><00:07:16.860><c> Nebuchadnezzar,</c><00:07:17.899><c> you</c><00:07:18.220><c> are</c><00:07:18.699><c> the</c><00:07:18.879><c> head</c>

00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:20.160
of<00:07:19.279><c> gold.</c>

00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:26.079
So<00:07:20.879><c> this</c><00:07:21.959><c> image</c><00:07:22.579><c> was</c><00:07:23.579><c> the</c><00:07:23.980><c> image</c><00:07:24.160><c> of</c><00:07:24.379><c> a</c><00:07:24.620><c> man.</c><00:07:25.139><c> The</c><00:07:25.199><c> metallic</c><00:07:25.540><c> image</c><00:07:25.860><c> is</c>

00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:27.439
an<00:07:26.319><c> image</c><00:07:26.519><c> of</c><00:07:26.740><c> a</c><00:07:27.000><c> man.</c>

00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:31.139
And<00:07:28.160><c> the</c><00:07:28.319><c> head</c><00:07:28.480><c> of</c><00:07:28.699><c> that</c><00:07:29.019><c> man</c><00:07:29.339><c> is</c><00:07:29.839><c> Nebuchadnezzar.</c><00:07:30.579><c> So</c><00:07:30.800><c> when</c>

00:07:31.139 --> 00:07:34.660
looking<00:07:31.399><c> at</c><00:07:31.639><c> that</c><00:07:31.839><c> metallic</c><00:07:32.300><c> image,</c><00:07:33.220><c> you're</c><00:07:33.459><c> looking</c><00:07:33.680><c> at</c><00:07:33.879><c> Nebuchadnezzar.</c>

00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.139
The<00:07:34.879><c> face</c><00:07:35.160><c> of</c><00:07:35.399><c> that</c><00:07:35.620><c> image</c><00:07:35.980><c> is</c><00:07:36.579><c> Nebuchadnezzar.</c><00:07:38.000><c> So</c><00:07:38.420><c> here</c><00:07:38.800><c> we</c>

00:07:39.139 --> 00:07:43.540
have<00:07:39.500><c> the</c><00:07:39.980><c> head</c><00:07:40.160><c> or</c><00:07:40.319><c> the</c><00:07:40.620><c> face,</c><00:07:41.019><c> as</c><00:07:41.360><c> it</c><00:07:41.620><c> were,</c><00:07:42.240><c> of</c><00:07:42.439><c> a</c><00:07:42.600><c> man.</c>

00:07:44.939 --> 00:07:48.500
And<00:07:45.399><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:07:46.040><c> thought</c><00:07:46.259><c> that</c><00:07:46.500><c> was</c><00:07:46.759><c> cool.</c><00:07:47.759><c> And</c><00:07:48.100><c> he</c><00:07:48.279><c> made</c>

00:07:48.500 --> 00:07:52.939
an<00:07:48.860><c> image</c><00:07:49.100><c> entirely</c><00:07:49.839><c> of</c><00:07:50.220><c> gold</c><00:07:50.439><c> of</c><00:07:50.759><c> himself</c><00:07:51.420><c> and</c><00:07:51.660><c> had</c><00:07:51.879><c> everybody</c><00:07:52.240><c> worship</c><00:07:52.699><c> it.</c>

00:07:52.939 --> 00:07:56.540
He<00:07:53.199><c> was</c><00:07:53.360><c> into</c><00:07:53.660><c> emperor</c><00:07:54.139><c> worship,</c><00:07:54.680><c> which</c><00:07:54.899><c> was</c><00:07:55.860><c> common</c><00:07:56.220><c> enough</c>

00:07:56.540 --> 00:07:58.259
in<00:07:56.680><c> biblical</c><00:07:57.040><c> times.</c>

00:07:58.339 --> 00:08:01.000
And<00:07:58.519><c> there's</c><00:07:58.720><c> probably</c><00:07:59.000><c> a</c><00:07:59.160><c> little</c><00:07:59.420><c> of</c><00:07:59.819><c> that</c><00:08:00.180><c> still</c><00:08:00.480><c> going</c><00:08:00.699><c> on</c>

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:04.199
this<00:08:01.240><c> day.</c><00:08:02.079><c> Emperors</c><00:08:02.339><c> seem</c><00:08:02.560><c> to</c><00:08:02.779><c> like</c><00:08:02.920><c> that.</c>

00:08:06.060 --> 00:08:12.639
So<00:08:06.740><c> I</c><00:08:07.420><c> saw</c><00:08:07.759><c> all</c><00:08:08.040><c> these</c><00:08:08.939><c> links</c><00:08:10.120><c> to</c><00:08:11.459><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:08:12.360><c> and</c>

00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:13.939
Daniel's<00:08:13.240><c> prophecy,</c>

00:08:13.939 --> 00:08:19.459
which<00:08:14.740><c> helped</c><00:08:15.980><c> me</c><00:08:16.259><c> start</c><00:08:16.540><c> forming</c><00:08:16.959><c> an</c><00:08:17.279><c> opinion</c><00:08:17.800><c> that</c><00:08:18.480><c> these</c>

00:08:19.459 --> 00:08:25.459
four<00:08:19.819><c> living</c><00:08:20.139><c> creatures</c><00:08:20.819><c> were</c><00:08:21.680><c> somehow</c><00:08:22.199><c> representative</c><00:08:23.120><c> of</c><00:08:23.699><c> Nebuchadnezzar.</c>

00:08:25.579 --> 00:08:28.740
And<00:08:25.860><c> it</c><00:08:26.000><c> just</c><00:08:26.220><c> seemed</c><00:08:26.439><c> to</c><00:08:26.740><c> fit</c><00:08:26.939><c> since</c><00:08:27.199><c> that's</c><00:08:27.540><c> the</c><00:08:27.779><c> context</c><00:08:28.339><c> of</c>

00:08:28.740 --> 00:08:30.319
Ezekiel's<00:08:29.379><c> prophecy.</c>

00:08:32.259 --> 00:08:35.759
And<00:08:32.620><c> then</c><00:08:32.820><c> I</c><00:08:32.940><c> looked</c><00:08:33.139><c> at</c><00:08:33.419><c> this</c><00:08:34.039><c> in</c><00:08:34.360><c> Ezekiel</c><00:08:34.820><c> 1</c><00:08:35.019><c> verse</c><00:08:35.320><c> 12</c><00:08:35.600><c> that</c>

00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:36.779
was<00:08:35.980><c> just</c><00:08:36.279><c> read.</c>

00:08:36.779 --> 00:08:38.120
It<00:08:37.860><c> said,</c>

00:08:38.299 --> 00:08:59.279
And<00:08:38.399><c> you</c><00:08:41.440><c> know</c><00:08:43.259><c> what</c><00:08:54.759><c> that</c><00:08:55.000><c> reminded</c><00:08:55.419><c> me</c><00:08:55.720><c> of</c><00:08:56.159><c> is</c><00:08:56.559><c> this</c><00:08:56.899><c> proverb,</c><00:08:57.659><c> Proverbs</c><00:08:58.159><c> 21.</c>

00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:13.620
So<00:09:08.840><c> I'm</c><00:09:09.460><c> just</c><00:09:10.019><c> kind</c><00:09:10.419><c> of</c><00:09:10.779><c> reviewing</c><00:09:11.299><c> the</c><00:09:12.299><c> train</c><00:09:12.580><c> of</c><00:09:12.960><c> thought</c><00:09:13.240><c> that</c><00:09:13.460><c> I</c>

00:09:13.620 --> 00:09:16.299
was<00:09:13.820><c> developing</c><00:09:14.340><c> as</c><00:09:14.600><c> I</c><00:09:14.759><c> was</c><00:09:14.940><c> looking</c><00:09:15.179><c> into</c><00:09:15.539><c> the</c><00:09:15.840><c> study.</c>

00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:22.679
And<00:09:16.940><c> I</c><00:09:17.080><c> was</c><00:09:17.340><c> coming</c><00:09:17.659><c> to</c><00:09:17.899><c> the</c><00:09:18.139><c> conclusion</c><00:09:18.899><c> that</c><00:09:20.740><c> this</c><00:09:21.120><c> was</c><00:09:21.700><c> a</c><00:09:21.980><c> vision</c><00:09:22.299><c> of</c>

00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:27.740
God<00:09:22.980><c> using</c><00:09:23.740><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:09:24.940><c> to</c><00:09:25.320><c> bring</c><00:09:25.620><c> judgment</c><00:09:26.159><c> on</c><00:09:26.600><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:31.080
And<00:09:28.600><c> that</c><00:09:28.860><c> shouldn't</c><00:09:29.080><c> come</c><00:09:29.340><c> as</c><00:09:29.519><c> too</c><00:09:29.820><c> strange</c><00:09:30.200><c> to</c><00:09:30.480><c> us.</c><00:09:30.639><c> We</c><00:09:30.820><c> all</c>

00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.779
know<00:09:31.299><c> about</c><00:09:31.539><c> the</c><00:09:31.840><c> Exodus</c><00:09:32.179><c> with</c><00:09:32.539><c> Pharaoh,</c><00:09:33.000><c> how</c><00:09:33.159><c> God</c><00:09:33.440><c> hardened</c>

00:09:33.779 --> 00:09:34.840
Pharaoh's<00:09:34.419><c> heart.</c>

00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:41.100
God<00:09:35.519><c> does</c><00:09:35.860><c> this</c><00:09:36.399><c> with</c><00:09:36.700><c> leaders.</c><00:09:37.019><c> He</c><00:09:37.179><c> can</c><00:09:37.840><c> move</c><00:09:38.259><c> them</c><00:09:39.019><c> in</c><00:09:39.299><c> whatever</c><00:09:39.620><c> direction</c><00:09:40.120><c> he</c><00:09:40.480><c> wants,</c><00:09:40.899><c> as</c>

00:09:41.100 --> 00:09:42.500
the<00:09:41.320><c> proverb</c><00:09:41.639><c> says.</c>

00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:47.399
So<00:09:43.820><c> since</c><00:09:44.220><c> the</c><00:09:44.480><c> prophecy</c><00:09:45.019><c> of</c><00:09:45.259><c> Ezekiel</c><00:09:45.659><c> is</c><00:09:45.879><c> about</c><00:09:46.100><c> the</c><00:09:46.440><c> destruction</c><00:09:47.019><c> God</c>

00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:49.019
would<00:09:47.700><c> bring</c><00:09:47.899><c> upon</c><00:09:48.220><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:52.779
it<00:09:49.679><c> makes</c><00:09:50.019><c> sense</c><00:09:50.419><c> that</c><00:09:50.639><c> the</c><00:09:50.940><c> introduction</c><00:09:51.519><c> to</c><00:09:51.860><c> this</c><00:09:52.179><c> prophecy</c>

00:09:52.779 --> 00:09:55.519
would<00:09:53.399><c> be</c><00:09:53.759><c> consistent</c><00:09:54.460><c> with</c><00:09:54.740><c> that</c><00:09:55.179><c> theme.</c>

00:09:55.879 --> 00:10:00.179
So<00:09:56.080><c> we</c><00:09:56.159><c> should</c><00:09:56.320><c> be</c><00:09:56.740><c> expecting</c><00:09:57.259><c> an</c><00:09:57.919><c> interpretation</c><00:09:58.639><c> like</c><00:09:59.580><c> the</c>

00:10:00.179 --> 00:10:01.299
one<00:10:00.299><c> I'm</c><00:10:00.580><c> offering</c><00:10:00.940><c> you,</c>

00:10:01.299 --> 00:10:07.899
that<00:10:01.940><c> we</c><00:10:02.159><c> should</c><00:10:02.360><c> see</c><00:10:02.639><c> these</c><00:10:03.019><c> four</c><00:10:03.240><c> living</c><00:10:03.500><c> creatures</c><00:10:04.139><c> as</c><00:10:04.759><c> representing</c><00:10:05.620><c> Nebuchadnezzar,</c><00:10:07.600><c> who</c>

00:10:07.899 --> 00:10:12.179
is<00:10:08.139><c> being</c><00:10:08.500><c> moved</c><00:10:09.059><c> by</c><00:10:09.500><c> God</c><00:10:10.120><c> against</c><00:10:10.840><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:10:15.719 --> 00:10:21.600
And<00:10:16.439><c> as</c><00:10:17.159><c> I'm</c><00:10:17.379><c> developing</c><00:10:17.940><c> this</c><00:10:18.320><c> idea,</c><00:10:19.379><c> I'm</c><00:10:19.559><c> wondering,</c><00:10:21.480><c> does</c>

00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:24.399
anybody<00:10:21.899><c> else</c><00:10:22.159><c> have</c><00:10:22.299><c> this</c><00:10:22.559><c> idea</c><00:10:22.940><c> on</c><00:10:23.179><c> Ezekiel</c><00:10:23.600><c> chapter</c><00:10:24.059><c> 1?</c>

00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.539
Is<00:10:24.960><c> there</c><00:10:25.159><c> support</c><00:10:25.480><c> for</c><00:10:25.679><c> this</c><00:10:25.899><c> idea</c><00:10:26.259><c> that</c><00:10:26.559><c> cherubim</c><00:10:27.240><c> can</c>

00:10:27.539 --> 00:10:30.820

00:10:31.179 --> 00:10:36.480
And<00:10:31.659><c> I</c><00:10:32.039><c> looked</c><00:10:32.159><c> out</c><00:10:32.379><c> on</c><00:10:32.559><c> the</c><00:10:32.799><c> internet</c><00:10:33.659><c> at</c><00:10:34.559><c> Ezekiel</c><00:10:35.059><c> chapter</c><00:10:35.580><c> 1,</c><00:10:36.120><c> and</c><00:10:36.320><c> I</c>

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.159
wasn't<00:10:36.779><c> finding</c><00:10:37.120><c> anything.</c>

00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:41.240
I<00:10:38.960><c> didn't</c><00:10:39.159><c> look</c><00:10:39.480><c> exhaustively,</c><00:10:40.200><c> but</c><00:10:40.379><c> I</c><00:10:40.559><c> looked</c><00:10:40.700><c> enough</c><00:10:41.019><c> where</c>

00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.899
I<00:10:41.440><c> thought</c><00:10:41.659><c> if</c><00:10:41.840><c> this</c><00:10:42.059><c> is</c><00:10:42.240><c> a</c><00:10:42.379><c> popular</c><00:10:42.799><c> idea,</c><00:10:43.360><c> it</c><00:10:43.360><c> ought</c><00:10:43.480><c> to</c><00:10:43.620><c> pop</c>

00:10:46.059 --> 00:10:50.500
And<00:10:46.299><c> I</c><00:10:46.399><c> wasn't</c><00:10:46.600><c> coming</c><00:10:46.860><c> up</c><00:10:47.059><c> with</c><00:10:47.259><c> anything.</c><00:10:47.980><c> So</c><00:10:48.379><c> I</c><00:10:49.220><c> did</c><00:10:49.480><c> what</c><00:10:49.659><c> I</c>

00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:51.500
haven't<00:10:50.759><c> done</c><00:10:50.980><c> in</c><00:10:51.200><c> a</c><00:10:51.320><c> while.</c>

00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:54.500
I<00:10:51.720><c> actually</c><00:10:52.059><c> took</c><00:10:52.320><c> a</c><00:10:52.639><c> book</c><00:10:52.899><c> off</c><00:10:53.240><c> one</c><00:10:53.379><c> of</c><00:10:53.519><c> my</c><00:10:53.799><c> bookshelves,</c><00:10:54.419><c> one</c>

00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:57.299

00:10:57.299 --> 00:11:03.639
I'll<00:10:58.019><c> have</c><00:10:58.179><c> to</c><00:10:58.399><c> confess</c><00:10:58.820><c> that</c><00:10:58.980><c> with</c><00:10:59.159><c> the</c><00:10:59.379><c> internet,</c><00:10:59.639><c> I've</c><00:11:00.019><c> gotten</c><00:11:00.320><c> awfully</c><00:11:00.879><c> lazy</c><00:11:01.340><c> about</c><00:11:01.720><c> opening</c><00:11:02.080><c> books</c><00:11:02.559><c> because</c><00:11:03.019><c> everything's</c><00:11:03.480><c> on</c>

00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:04.179
the<00:11:03.860><c> internet.</c>

00:11:04.299 --> 00:11:10.000
And<00:11:04.480><c> I</c><00:11:04.639><c> just</c><00:11:04.799><c> go</c><00:11:04.940><c> out</c><00:11:05.200><c> there</c><00:11:05.480><c> and</c><00:11:05.860><c> read</c><00:11:06.100><c> it.</c><00:11:08.299><c> And</c><00:11:08.299><c> the</c><00:11:09.580><c> good</c><00:11:09.740><c> old</c>

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.159

00:11:12.419 --> 00:11:15.759
Jameson,<00:11:12.899><c> Fawcett,</c><00:11:13.259><c> and</c><00:11:13.419><c> Brown</c><00:11:13.580><c> had</c><00:11:14.139><c> this</c><00:11:14.480><c> to</c><00:11:14.740><c> say</c><00:11:14.879><c> about</c><00:11:15.080><c> the</c><00:11:15.360><c> cherubim.</c>

00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:21.419
The<00:11:16.379><c> cherubim</c><00:11:17.039><c> probably</c><00:11:17.679><c> represent</c><00:11:18.519><c> the</c><00:11:19.120><c> ruling</c><00:11:19.759><c> powers</c><00:11:20.500><c> by</c>

00:11:21.419 --> 00:11:25.639
which<00:11:21.799><c> God</c><00:11:22.279><c> acts</c><00:11:22.799><c> in</c><00:11:23.080><c> the</c><00:11:23.320><c> natural</c><00:11:23.860><c> and</c><00:11:24.539><c> moral</c><00:11:25.039><c> world.</c>

00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:30.980
Okay,<00:11:26.860><c> so</c><00:11:27.259><c> when</c><00:11:27.539><c> I</c><00:11:27.779><c> saw</c><00:11:27.980><c> that,</c><00:11:28.500><c> I</c><00:11:28.559><c> felt</c><00:11:28.960><c> relieved,</c><00:11:30.259><c> like,</c><00:11:30.259><c> you</c>

00:11:30.980 --> 00:11:35.019
know,<00:11:31.740><c> I'm</c><00:11:32.580><c> probably</c><00:11:32.960><c> on</c><00:11:33.159><c> the</c><00:11:33.340><c> right</c><00:11:33.580><c> track</c><00:11:33.960><c> here.</c>

00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:42.340
So<00:11:36.299><c> much</c><00:11:36.500><c> of</c><00:11:36.639><c> the</c><00:11:36.879><c> study,</c><00:11:37.320><c> I'm</c><00:11:38.120><c> going</c><00:11:38.340><c> to</c><00:11:38.539><c> be</c><00:11:39.179><c> revealing</c><00:11:39.759><c> to</c><00:11:40.139><c> you</c><00:11:41.059><c> the</c><00:11:41.820><c> track</c><00:11:42.080><c> of</c>

00:11:42.340 --> 00:11:46.200
my<00:11:42.659><c> thought</c><00:11:42.980><c> process</c><00:11:43.779><c> and</c><00:11:44.659><c> supporting</c><00:11:45.299><c> evidence</c><00:11:45.720><c> for</c><00:11:45.960><c> coming</c>

to<00:11:46.419><c> this</c><00:11:46.659><c> conclusion.</c>

00:11:49.259 --> 00:11:55.159
We<00:11:49.980><c> also</c><00:11:50.700><c> have</c><00:11:50.960><c> in</c><00:11:51.120><c> Ezekiel</c><00:11:51.620><c> 28,</c><00:11:52.299><c> verse</c><00:11:52.559><c> 14,</c><00:11:53.600><c> the</c><00:11:53.840><c> anointed</c><00:11:54.320><c> cherub</c><00:11:54.820><c> is</c>

00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.679
being<00:12:26.879><c> referred</c><00:12:27.340><c> to</c><00:12:27.779><c> as</c><00:12:28.240><c> this</c><00:12:28.639><c> anointed</c><00:12:29.100><c> guardian</c><00:12:29.840><c> cherub.</c>

00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:34.200
I<00:12:31.419><c> suspect</c><00:12:31.980><c> that's</c><00:12:32.299><c> all</c><00:12:32.500><c> unwitting.</c><00:12:33.200><c> I</c><00:12:33.200><c> don't</c><00:12:33.440><c> think</c><00:12:33.720><c> king</c><00:12:33.980><c> of</c>

00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:36.779
Tyre<00:12:34.440><c> was</c><00:12:35.399><c> aware</c><00:12:35.399><c> of</c><00:12:35.899><c> that.</c>

00:12:37.419 --> 00:12:41.419
But<00:12:37.799><c> that</c><00:12:38.220><c> seemed</c><00:12:38.460><c> as</c><00:12:39.139><c> supporting</c><00:12:39.820><c> evidence</c><00:12:40.399><c> that</c><00:12:40.700><c> if</c><00:12:40.919><c> the</c><00:12:41.080><c> king</c><00:12:41.200><c> of</c>

00:12:41.419 --> 00:12:44.519
Tyre<00:12:41.639><c> can</c><00:12:41.799><c> be</c><00:12:41.980><c> called</c><00:12:42.100><c> a</c><00:12:42.340><c> cherub,</c><00:12:42.600><c> then</c><00:12:42.740><c> why</c><00:12:42.899><c> not</c><00:12:43.019><c> the</c><00:12:43.200><c> king</c><00:12:43.360><c> of</c><00:12:43.720><c> Babylon?</c>

00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:49.559
So<00:12:45.340><c> I</c><00:12:45.940><c> was</c><00:12:46.179><c> developing</c><00:12:46.799><c> evidence</c><00:12:47.399><c> to</c><00:12:47.700><c> support</c><00:12:48.080><c> this</c><00:12:48.419><c> idea</c><00:12:48.960><c> of</c>

00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:52.039
the<00:12:49.759><c> four</c><00:12:49.960><c> living</c><00:12:50.259><c> creatures,</c><00:12:50.980><c> these</c><00:12:51.379><c> cherubim.</c>

00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:55.919
That<00:12:52.340><c> seems</c><00:12:53.039><c> to</c><00:12:53.179><c> be</c><00:12:53.279><c> what</c><00:12:53.379><c> they</c><00:12:53.639><c> are,</c><00:12:54.000><c> cherubim.</c><00:12:55.279><c> In</c><00:12:55.460><c> Ezekiel</c>

00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.480
chapter<00:12:56.440><c> one,</c><00:12:56.879><c> represent</c><00:12:57.759><c> the</c><00:12:58.139><c> king</c><00:12:58.299><c> of</c><00:12:58.539><c> Babylon,</c>

00:12:59.539 --> 00:13:03.299
and<00:12:59.720><c> the</c><00:13:00.000><c> spirit</c><00:13:00.220><c> of</c><00:13:00.460><c> God</c><00:13:00.679><c> is</c><00:13:00.960><c> going</c><00:13:01.100><c> to</c><00:13:01.340><c> move</c><00:13:01.500><c> him</c><00:13:01.820><c> against</c><00:13:02.200><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:13:05.500 --> 00:13:12.080
There's<00:13:06.220><c> more.</c><00:13:07.500><c> The</c><00:13:07.899><c> prophecy</c><00:13:08.679><c> in</c><00:13:09.139><c> Ezekiel</c><00:13:09.580><c> 1,</c><00:13:09.779><c> you'll</c><00:13:10.120><c> notice</c><00:13:10.279><c> it</c><00:13:10.639><c> started</c><00:13:10.899><c> with</c><00:13:11.559><c> a</c>

00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:13.220
whirlwind<00:13:12.559><c> from</c><00:13:12.820><c> the</c><00:13:13.019><c> north.</c>

00:13:13.340 --> 00:13:18.539
Your<00:13:13.539><c> version</c><00:13:14.139><c> might</c><00:13:14.519><c> say</c><00:13:14.899><c> a</c><00:13:15.519><c> windstorm,</c><00:13:17.620><c> stormy</c><00:13:18.000><c> wind</c><00:13:18.259><c> from</c>

00:13:18.539 --> 00:13:19.220
the<00:13:18.759><c> north.</c>

00:13:19.220 --> 00:13:24.620
And<00:13:20.120><c> then</c><00:13:20.580><c> what</c><00:13:22.039><c> follows</c><00:13:22.620><c> is</c><00:13:22.940><c> the</c><00:13:23.659><c> description</c><00:13:24.120><c> of</c><00:13:24.320><c> the</c><00:13:24.480><c> four</c>

living<00:13:24.860><c> creatures.</c>

00:13:25.539 --> 00:13:29.679
So<00:13:25.759><c> it's</c><00:13:26.019><c> introduced</c><00:13:26.580><c> by</c><00:13:27.220><c> the</c><00:13:27.620><c> stormy</c><00:13:28.120><c> wind</c><00:13:28.299><c> from</c><00:13:28.600><c> the</c><00:13:28.820><c> north.</c>

00:13:30.779 --> 00:13:36.240
And<00:13:31.240><c> that</c><00:13:31.600><c> alone</c><00:13:32.240><c> indicates</c><00:13:33.159><c> that</c><00:13:33.419><c> what's</c><00:13:33.919><c> coming</c><00:13:34.220><c> is</c><00:13:35.419><c> a</c><00:13:35.820><c> vision</c><00:13:36.059><c> of</c>

00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:38.539
God's<00:13:36.879><c> judgment</c><00:13:37.200><c> on</c><00:13:37.759><c> Judah.</c>

00:13:39.580 --> 00:13:42.879
The<00:13:39.840><c> north</c><00:13:40.019><c> is</c><00:13:40.320><c> often</c><00:13:40.659><c> associated</c><00:13:41.519><c> with</c><00:13:42.080><c> God's</c><00:13:42.659><c> judgment</c>

00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.480

00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:03.940
that<00:13:59.639><c> God</c><00:14:00.039><c> was</c><00:14:00.340><c> about</c><00:14:00.600><c> to</c><00:14:00.899><c> bring</c><00:14:01.059><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:14:01.799><c> down</c><00:14:02.360><c> on</c><00:14:03.159><c> Jerusalem</c><00:14:03.679><c> to</c>

00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:27.899
For<00:14:25.019><c> behold,</c><00:14:25.419><c> I</c><00:14:25.620><c> am</c><00:14:25.759><c> calling</c><00:14:26.000><c> all</c><00:14:26.440><c> the</c><00:14:26.679><c> tribes</c><00:14:26.879><c> of</c><00:14:27.059><c> the</c><00:14:27.200><c> kingdoms</c><00:14:27.519><c> of</c><00:14:27.740><c> the</c>

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:32.579
And<00:23:29.359><c> we</c><00:23:29.599><c> have</c><00:23:29.920><c> the</c><00:23:30.359><c> flying</c><00:23:30.680><c> eagle</c><00:23:31.200><c> mentioned</c><00:23:31.680><c> again,</c><00:23:32.220><c> and</c><00:23:32.400><c> the</c>

00:23:36.859 --> 00:23:40.119
The<00:23:37.000><c> third</c><00:23:37.220><c> had</c><00:23:37.400><c> the</c><00:23:37.539><c> face</c><00:23:37.779><c> of</c><00:23:37.940><c> a</c><00:23:38.119><c> man,</c><00:23:39.059><c> and</c><00:23:39.359><c> the</c><00:23:39.579><c> fourth</c><00:23:39.859><c> beast</c>

00:23:44.040 --> 00:23:50.079
So<00:23:44.640><c> it</c><00:23:45.059><c> occurs</c><00:23:45.519><c> again</c><00:23:46.119><c> in</c><00:23:46.359><c> Revelation,</c><00:23:47.299><c> suggesting</c><00:23:47.960><c> to</c><00:23:48.259><c> me</c><00:23:48.400><c> there's</c><00:23:48.640><c> still</c><00:23:49.019><c> a</c>

00:23:52.380 --> 00:23:55.839
Now,<00:23:53.359><c> this</c><00:23:53.619><c> one's</c><00:23:53.880><c> a</c><00:23:54.000><c> little</c><00:23:54.180><c> different</c><00:23:54.640><c> in</c><00:23:54.900><c> that</c><00:23:55.160><c> the</c><00:23:55.539><c> second</c>

00:24:02.360 --> 00:24:08.380
So<00:24:02.960><c> I'm</c><00:24:03.559><c> wondering</c><00:24:04.099><c> if</c><00:24:04.660><c> this</c><00:24:05.160><c> isn't</c><00:24:06.019><c> a</c><00:24:06.880><c> future</c><00:24:07.440><c> application</c>

00:24:08.380 --> 00:24:09.400
of<00:24:08.740><c> this</c><00:24:09.019><c> prophecy.</c>

00:24:09.460 --> 00:24:13.440
You<00:24:09.619><c> know</c><00:24:09.759><c> the</c><00:24:09.880><c> Bible</c><00:24:10.180><c> works</c><00:24:10.519><c> in</c><00:24:10.759><c> repeating</c><00:24:11.140><c> patterns,</c><00:24:11.900><c> and</c><00:24:13.039><c> I</c>

00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:17.980
suspect<00:24:14.140><c> that</c><00:24:14.980><c> the</c><00:24:15.240><c> basic</c><00:24:15.779><c> model</c><00:24:16.240><c> of</c><00:24:16.460><c> Ezekiel</c><00:24:17.039><c> is</c><00:24:17.400><c> once</c><00:24:17.700><c> again</c>

00:24:17.980 --> 00:24:21.259
going<00:24:18.259><c> to</c><00:24:18.559><c> play</c><00:24:18.779><c> out</c><00:24:19.380><c> at</c><00:24:19.759><c> the</c><00:24:19.960><c> time</c><00:24:20.099><c> of</c><00:24:20.279><c> the</c><00:24:20.460><c> end.</c>

00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:28.339
But<00:24:23.160><c> when</c><00:24:23.640><c> the</c><00:24:23.960><c> Bible</c><00:24:24.259><c> repeats</c><00:24:24.880><c> itself,</c><00:24:25.339><c> when</c><00:24:25.500><c> you</c><00:24:25.680><c> have</c><00:24:26.400><c> these</c><00:24:27.079><c> patterns</c><00:24:27.539><c> repeating,</c><00:24:28.180><c> they</c>

00:24:28.339 --> 00:24:32.539
don't<00:24:28.599><c> repeat</c><00:24:28.980><c> exactly</c><00:24:29.640><c> the</c><00:24:29.980><c> same,</c><00:24:30.700><c> but</c><00:24:31.339><c> they</c><00:24:31.740><c> are</c><00:24:32.240><c> similar</c>

00:24:32.539 --> 00:24:34.779
enough<00:24:32.799><c> that</c><00:24:32.960><c> we</c><00:24:33.279><c> recognize</c><00:24:33.839><c> them.</c>

00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:37.880
It's<00:24:35.759><c> interesting</c><00:24:36.180><c> to</c><00:24:36.440><c> note</c><00:24:36.599><c> regarding</c><00:24:37.039><c> the</c><00:24:37.319><c> eagle</c><00:24:37.579><c> that</c><00:24:37.740><c> it</c>

00:24:42.339 --> 00:24:47.160
Isn't<00:24:43.299><c> that</c><00:24:43.559><c> interesting?</c><00:24:44.180><c> These</c><00:24:44.420><c> are</c><00:24:44.759><c> all</c><00:24:45.519><c> enemies</c><00:24:46.059><c> of</c><00:24:46.539><c> Israel.</c>

00:29:08.900 --> 00:29:13.019

00:29:16.339 --> 00:29:20.539

00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:31.559
He<00:29:28.380><c> goes</c><00:29:28.680><c> on</c><00:29:28.960><c> to</c><00:29:29.140><c> explain</c><00:29:29.720><c> that</c><00:29:30.259><c> was</c><00:29:30.539><c> written</c><00:29:30.759><c> about</c><00:29:31.160><c> us.</c>

00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:42.380
And<00:29:38.500><c> he's</c><00:29:38.980><c> trying</c><00:29:39.299><c> to</c><00:29:40.259><c> make</c><00:29:40.400><c> an</c><00:29:40.740><c> argument</c><00:29:41.220><c> that</c><00:29:41.559><c> you</c><00:29:41.920><c> need</c><00:29:42.160><c> to</c>

00:29:42.380 --> 00:29:46.079
be<00:29:42.579><c> supporters</c><00:29:43.319><c> of</c><00:29:43.759><c> those</c><00:29:44.119><c> who</c><00:29:44.480><c> preach</c><00:29:44.720><c> the</c><00:29:45.099><c> gospel.</c>

00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:49.180
You<00:29:46.539><c> know,</c><00:29:46.799><c> don't</c><00:29:47.200><c> muzzle</c><00:29:47.599><c> those</c><00:29:47.920><c> who</c><00:29:48.099><c> are</c><00:29:48.220><c> preaching</c><00:29:48.500><c> the</c><00:29:48.839><c> gospel.</c>

00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:51.579
You<00:29:49.359><c> need</c><00:29:49.559><c> to</c><00:29:50.140><c> provide</c><00:29:50.599><c> for</c><00:29:50.819><c> them.</c>

00:29:52.139 --> 00:29:57.519
So<00:29:52.799><c> the</c><00:29:53.460><c> ox</c><00:29:53.799><c> ultimately</c><00:29:54.720><c> is</c><00:29:55.480><c> symbolic</c><00:29:56.200><c> of</c><00:29:56.640><c> those</c><00:29:57.019><c> who</c><00:29:57.299><c> preach</c>

00:30:00.460 --> 00:30:06.680
And<00:30:00.819><c> an</c><00:30:01.059><c> ox</c><00:30:01.200><c> also</c><00:30:02.059><c> is</c><00:30:02.980><c> the</c><00:30:04.200><c> most</c><00:30:04.519><c> expensive</c><00:30:05.279><c> animal</c><00:30:05.819><c> sacrifice</c>

00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:09.400
you<00:30:07.180><c> could</c><00:30:07.460><c> make</c><00:30:08.079><c> under</c><00:30:08.559><c> the</c><00:30:08.740><c> law</c><00:30:08.880><c> of</c><00:30:09.119><c> Moses.</c>

00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:11.440
That<00:30:09.619><c> would</c><00:30:09.779><c> have</c><00:30:09.920><c> been</c><00:30:10.099><c> probably</c><00:30:10.420><c> your</c><00:30:10.640><c> most</c><00:30:10.880><c> expensive</c>

00:30:12.859 --> 00:30:16.500
So<00:30:13.039><c> with</c><00:30:13.200><c> all</c><00:30:13.319><c> this</c><00:30:13.579><c> positive</c><00:30:14.299><c> language</c><00:30:14.819><c> about</c><00:30:15.059><c> an</c><00:30:15.339><c> ox,</c><00:30:15.619><c> I</c><00:30:15.640><c> wonder,</c>

00:30:16.539 --> 00:30:20.079
why<00:30:16.900><c> is</c><00:30:17.220><c> that</c><00:30:17.900><c> one</c><00:30:18.119><c> of</c><00:30:18.279><c> the</c><00:30:18.500><c> faces</c><00:30:19.039><c> for</c><00:30:19.700><c> Nebuchadnezzar?</c>

00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:23.240
It<00:30:20.640><c> seemed</c><00:30:21.200><c> out</c><00:30:21.380><c> of</c><00:30:21.680><c> place</c><00:30:21.920><c> to</c><00:30:22.180><c> me.</c>

00:30:23.539 --> 00:30:25.980
And<00:30:23.819><c> then</c><00:30:23.980><c> I</c><00:30:24.140><c> thought,</c><00:30:24.400><c> wait</c><00:30:25.000><c> a</c><00:30:25.200><c> minute.</c>

00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:30.480

00:30:30.859 --> 00:30:33.440
It<00:30:31.240><c> says</c><00:30:31.539><c> in</c><00:30:31.720><c> Daniel</c><00:30:32.059><c> 4</c><00:30:32.420><c> verse</c><00:30:32.720><c> 34,</c>

00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:45.059
Remember<00:30:41.240><c> he</c><00:30:41.299><c> was</c><00:30:41.480><c> given</c><00:30:41.559><c> the</c><00:30:41.720><c> heart</c><00:30:41.839><c> of</c><00:30:42.059><c> a</c><00:30:42.220><c> beast</c><00:30:42.519><c> for</c><00:30:43.240><c> seven</c><00:30:43.680><c> years.</c>

00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:47.019

00:30:47.019 --> 00:30:49.960
So<00:30:47.440><c> he</c><00:30:47.579><c> says,</c><00:30:48.319><c> my</c><00:30:48.319><c> understanding</c><00:30:49.019><c> returned</c><00:30:49.500><c> unto</c><00:30:49.740><c> me,</c>

The<00:31:14.319><c> king</c><00:31:14.599><c> answered</c><00:31:14.980><c> and</c><00:31:15.160><c> said</c><00:31:15.299><c> to</c><00:31:15.519><c> Daniel,</c>

00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:21.200
Truly<00:31:16.579><c> your</c><00:31:17.319><c> God</c><00:31:17.799><c> is</c><00:31:18.359><c> God</c><00:31:18.660><c> of</c><00:31:18.900><c> gods</c><00:31:19.319><c> and</c><00:31:19.779><c> Lord</c><00:31:20.299><c> of</c><00:31:20.720><c> kings,</c>

00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:23.059
and<00:31:21.819><c> a</c><00:31:22.019><c> revealer</c><00:31:22.440><c> of</c><00:31:22.640><c> mysteries,</c>

00:31:23.380 --> 00:31:26.920
for<00:31:23.599><c> you</c><00:31:24.019><c> have</c><00:31:24.180><c> been</c><00:31:24.380><c> able</c><00:31:24.660><c> to</c><00:31:24.900><c> reveal</c><00:31:25.259><c> this</c><00:31:25.859><c> mystery.</c>

00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:31.819
So<00:31:27.200><c> he</c><00:31:27.380><c> commends</c><00:31:28.259><c> the</c><00:31:28.660><c> God</c><00:31:28.859><c> of</c><00:31:29.059><c> Daniel</c><00:31:29.480><c> here</c><00:31:29.819><c> in</c><00:31:30.019><c> chapter</c><00:31:30.359><c> 2.</c>

00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:35.200
And<00:31:33.200><c> this</c><00:31:33.559><c> comment</c><00:31:33.880><c> made</c><00:31:34.200><c> of</c><00:31:34.460><c> Belshazzar,</c>

00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:38.940
and<00:31:35.500><c> you,</c><00:31:35.980><c> his</c><00:31:36.180><c> son</c><00:31:36.420><c> Belshazzar,</c><00:31:37.240><c> have</c><00:31:37.420><c> not</c><00:31:37.839><c> humbled</c><00:31:38.160><c> your</c><00:31:38.500><c> heart,</c>

00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:42.740
though<00:31:39.420><c> you</c><00:31:39.779><c> knew</c><00:31:40.039><c> all</c><00:31:40.440><c> this,</c><00:31:41.000><c> that</c><00:31:41.200><c> is</c><00:31:41.420><c> the</c><00:31:41.599><c> humbling</c><00:31:41.900><c> of</c><00:31:42.119><c> his</c><00:31:42.400><c> father.</c>

00:31:42.740 --> 00:31:45.839
His<00:31:42.819><c> father</c><00:31:43.240><c> responded</c><00:31:43.960><c> like</c><00:31:44.259><c> he</c><00:31:44.799><c> should</c><00:31:45.099><c> have.</c>

00:31:45.859 --> 00:31:48.259
Belshazzar,<00:31:46.519><c> his</c><00:31:46.880><c> son,</c><00:31:47.079><c> did</c><00:31:47.380><c> not.</c>

00:31:50.100 --> 00:31:54.960
So<00:31:50.660><c> I'm</c><00:31:51.220><c> wondering</c><00:31:51.619><c> if</c><00:31:52.319><c> that's</c><00:31:53.400><c> why</c><00:31:53.700><c> the</c><00:31:53.960><c> ox</c><00:31:54.119><c> applies</c><00:31:54.660><c> to</c><00:31:54.859><c> him,</c>

00:31:54.980 --> 00:31:58.299
because<00:31:55.140><c> they</c><00:31:55.400><c> actually</c><00:31:55.680><c> became</c><00:31:55.980><c> an</c><00:31:56.480><c> advocate</c><00:31:56.940><c> for</c><00:31:57.720><c> the</c><00:31:57.920><c> God</c>

00:31:58.299 --> 00:31:58.920
of<00:31:58.619><c> Daniel,</c>

00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:00.460
the<00:31:59.119><c> God</c><00:31:59.339><c> of</c><00:31:59.539><c> Israel.</c>

00:32:01.779 --> 00:32:03.700
A<00:32:01.920><c> bit</c><00:32:02.099><c> of</c><00:32:02.299><c> speculation</c><00:32:02.819><c> on</c><00:32:03.000><c> my</c><00:32:03.259><c> part</c><00:32:03.420><c> there,</c>

00:32:03.700 --> 00:32:07.220
but<00:32:04.039><c> I'll</c><00:32:05.339><c> throw</c><00:32:05.480><c> it</c><00:32:05.660><c> out</c><00:32:05.839><c> for</c><00:32:06.099><c> what</c><00:32:06.240><c> it's</c><00:32:06.519><c> worth.</c>

00:32:08.019 --> 00:32:10.440
Now,<00:32:08.279><c> what</c><00:32:08.460><c> about</c><00:32:08.720><c> four?</c><00:32:09.180><c> Why</c><00:32:09.599><c> are</c><00:32:09.799><c> there</c><00:32:10.039><c> four?</c>

00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:11.740
Why<00:32:10.680><c> that</c><00:32:10.859><c> number</c><00:32:11.240><c> four?</c>

00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:13.240
And<00:32:12.240><c> I'm</c><00:32:12.380><c> not</c><00:32:12.700><c> sure,</c>

00:32:13.539 --> 00:32:16.900
but<00:32:13.920><c> maybe</c><00:32:14.279><c> it's</c><00:32:14.619><c> because</c><00:32:15.019><c> God's</c><00:32:15.579><c> judgment's</c><00:32:16.220><c> coming</c><00:32:16.420><c> forth</c>

00:32:16.900 --> 00:32:17.940
in<00:32:17.160><c> Ezekiel,</c>

00:32:18.099 --> 00:32:19.559
Ezekiel<00:32:18.619><c> 14,</c><00:32:19.019><c> 21,</c>

00:32:19.619 --> 00:32:20.900
for<00:32:19.740><c> thus</c><00:32:19.940><c> says</c><00:32:20.180><c> the</c><00:32:20.359><c> Lord</c><00:32:20.559><c> God,</c>

00:32:21.140 --> 00:32:23.819
How<00:32:21.400><c> much</c><00:32:21.759><c> more</c><00:32:22.140><c> when</c><00:32:22.339><c> I</c><00:32:22.599><c> send</c><00:32:22.700><c> upon</c><00:32:23.059><c> Jerusalem</c>

00:32:23.819 --> 00:32:27.680
my<00:32:24.579><c> four</c><00:32:25.200><c> disastrous</c><00:32:26.000><c> acts</c><00:32:26.400><c> of</c><00:32:26.680><c> judgment,</c>

00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:31.240
sword,<00:32:28.779><c> famine,</c><00:32:29.720><c> wild</c><00:32:30.039><c> beasts,</c><00:32:30.559><c> and</c><00:32:30.740><c> pestilence,</c>

00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:34.539
a<00:32:31.559><c> cut</c><00:32:31.819><c> off</c><00:32:32.460><c> from</c><00:32:32.640><c> it</c><00:32:32.980><c> man</c><00:32:33.220><c> and</c><00:32:33.619><c> beast?</c>

00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:36.759
Is<00:32:35.480><c> that</c><00:32:35.819><c> why?</c>

00:32:37.919 --> 00:32:40.539
In<00:32:38.599><c> Daniel,</c><00:32:39.059><c> we</c><00:32:39.279><c> have</c><00:32:39.559><c> the</c><00:32:39.799><c> metallic</c><00:32:40.200><c> image.</c>

00:32:40.700 --> 00:32:41.759
There<00:32:40.700><c> are</c><00:32:40.960><c> four</c><00:32:41.299><c> metals.</c>

00:32:42.099 --> 00:32:44.819
In<00:32:42.299><c> chapter</c><00:32:42.660><c> seven,</c><00:32:42.980><c> there</c><00:32:43.140><c> are</c><00:32:43.359><c> four</c><00:32:43.700><c> beasts,</c>

00:32:44.980 --> 00:32:48.019
and<00:32:45.279><c> they</c><00:32:45.500><c> represent</c><00:32:45.900><c> nations</c><00:32:46.420><c> that</c><00:32:46.680><c> would</c><00:32:47.039><c> dominate</c><00:32:47.559><c> Israel</c>

00:32:48.019 --> 00:32:49.839
because<00:32:48.380><c> of</c><00:32:48.539><c> their</c><00:32:48.740><c> sins.</c>

00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:53.960
So<00:32:50.480><c> we</c><00:32:51.380><c> see</c><00:32:51.680><c> that</c><00:32:51.940><c> number</c><00:32:52.220><c> four</c><00:32:52.779><c> appear,</c>

00:32:54.259 --> 00:32:57.700
again<00:32:54.619><c> in</c><00:32:54.799><c> Revelation,</c><00:32:55.500><c> the</c><00:32:55.660><c> four</c><00:32:55.819><c> living</c><00:32:56.079><c> creatures</c><00:32:56.480><c> again.</c>

00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:04.220
Now,<00:33:01.720><c> I</c><00:33:01.940><c> heard</c><00:33:02.180><c> this</c><00:33:02.500><c> suggestion</c><00:33:03.200><c> in</c><00:33:03.519><c> Genesis,</c>

00:33:04.220 --> 00:33:07.440
chapter<00:33:05.119><c> one,</c><00:33:05.900><c> in</c><00:33:06.099><c> verse</c><00:33:06.319><c> 14</c><00:33:06.779><c> to</c><00:33:06.920><c> 19,</c>

00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:12.000
day<00:33:07.960><c> four,</c><00:33:09.200><c> this</c><00:33:09.440><c> is</c><00:33:09.599><c> when</c><00:33:09.779><c> the</c><00:33:10.039><c> sun,</c><00:33:10.299><c> moon,</c><00:33:10.640><c> and</c><00:33:10.920><c> stars</c><00:33:11.200><c> are</c><00:33:11.480><c> created,</c>

00:33:12.420 --> 00:33:14.480
the<00:33:12.880><c> heavenly</c><00:33:13.299><c> bodies.</c>

00:33:15.140 --> 00:33:19.940
So<00:33:15.460><c> does</c><00:33:16.039><c> that</c><00:33:16.700><c> help</c><00:33:17.119><c> us</c><00:33:17.480><c> understand</c><00:33:18.220><c> why</c><00:33:19.099><c> there</c><00:33:19.519><c> are</c><00:33:19.779><c> four?</c>

00:33:19.940 --> 00:33:22.099
This<00:33:20.160><c> is</c><00:33:20.400><c> a</c><00:33:20.500><c> theophany</c><00:33:21.259><c> in</c><00:33:21.519><c> Ezekiel.</c>

00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:24.519
It's<00:33:22.920><c> a</c><00:33:23.220><c> heavenly</c><00:33:23.500><c> vision.</c>

00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:27.599
The<00:33:25.720><c> sun,</c><00:33:25.980><c> moon,</c><00:33:26.119><c> and</c><00:33:26.380><c> stars</c><00:33:26.680><c> are</c><00:33:26.900><c> heavenly</c><00:33:27.220><c> bodies.</c>

00:33:27.819 --> 00:33:29.660
They're<00:33:27.940><c> symbolic</c><00:33:28.500><c> of</c><00:33:29.000><c> Israel.</c>

00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:31.240
Remember<00:33:30.140><c> Joseph's</c><00:33:30.839><c> dream,</c>

00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:34.559
and<00:33:32.039><c> that's</c><00:33:32.339><c> because</c><00:33:32.839><c> Israel</c><00:33:33.380><c> has</c><00:33:33.700><c> a</c><00:33:33.900><c> heavenly</c><00:33:34.220><c> connection.</c>

00:33:34.980 --> 00:33:38.640
Israel's<00:33:35.660><c> destined</c><00:33:36.099><c> to</c><00:33:36.319><c> be</c><00:33:36.460><c> the</c><00:33:36.799><c> kingdom</c><00:33:37.259><c> of</c><00:33:37.759><c> heaven.</c>

00:33:39.579 --> 00:33:43.859
So<00:33:39.960><c> is</c><00:33:40.319><c> that</c><00:33:40.720><c> what</c><00:33:41.039><c> we</c><00:33:41.339><c> have</c><00:33:41.579><c> with</c><00:33:42.039><c> the</c><00:33:42.200><c> number</c><00:33:42.500><c> four</c><00:33:42.779><c> here,</c>

00:33:43.940 --> 00:33:47.779
an<00:33:44.220><c> emphasis</c><00:33:44.839><c> that</c><00:33:45.799><c> this</c><00:33:46.119><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:33:47.019><c> was</c><00:33:47.279><c> under</c>

00:33:47.779 --> 00:33:50.619
heavenly<00:33:48.420><c> control,</c><00:33:49.160><c> heavenly</c><00:33:49.480><c> guidance?</c>

00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:56.200
Or<00:33:51.819><c> is</c><00:33:52.079><c> it</c><00:33:52.279><c> like</c><00:33:52.960><c> I</c><00:33:53.619><c> said</c><00:33:53.759><c> in</c><00:33:54.019><c> the</c><00:33:54.279><c> first</c><00:33:55.319><c> passage</c><00:33:55.940><c> here</c>

00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:58.359
that<00:33:56.359><c> it's</c><00:33:56.700><c> because</c><00:33:57.180><c> there's</c><00:33:57.500><c> going</c><00:33:57.740><c> to</c><00:33:57.920><c> be</c><00:33:58.140><c> four</c>

00:33:58.359 --> 00:33:59.920
disastrous<00:33:59.019><c> acts</c><00:33:59.359><c> of</c><00:33:59.599><c> judgment?</c>

00:33:59.920 --> 00:34:04.180
I'm<00:34:00.079><c> not</c><00:34:00.440><c> sure,</c><00:34:01.279><c> but</c><00:34:01.640><c> there</c><00:34:01.880><c> are</c><00:34:01.960><c> some</c><00:34:02.200><c> ideas</c><00:34:02.559><c> I</c><00:34:02.839><c> put</c><00:34:02.960><c> out</c><00:34:03.220><c> there.</c>

00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:08.380
What<00:34:06.019><c> about</c><00:34:06.220><c> the</c><00:34:06.480><c> eyes,</c><00:34:06.779><c> the</c><00:34:06.980><c> eyes</c><00:34:07.200><c> and</c><00:34:07.359><c> the</c><00:34:07.579><c> wheels?</c>

00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:12.679
Now,<00:34:09.420><c> we</c><00:34:09.760><c> read</c><00:34:10.320><c> in</c><00:34:10.659><c> Ezekiel</c><00:34:11.119><c> 8,</c><00:34:11.480><c> verse</c><00:34:11.800><c> 12,</c>

00:34:13.139 --> 00:34:14.880
where<00:34:13.340><c> then</c><00:34:13.500><c> he</c><00:34:13.719><c> said</c><00:34:13.920><c> to</c><00:34:14.099><c> me,</c><00:34:14.239><c> son</c><00:34:14.440><c> of</c><00:34:14.599><c> man,</c>

00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:18.139
have<00:34:15.179><c> you</c><00:34:15.539><c> seen,</c><00:34:16.400><c> have</c><00:34:16.619><c> you</c><00:34:17.059><c> seen</c><00:34:17.480><c> what</c><00:34:17.679><c> the</c><00:34:17.940><c> elders</c>

00:34:18.139 --> 00:34:22.000
of<00:34:18.340><c> the</c><00:34:18.500><c> house</c><00:34:18.679><c> of</c><00:34:18.880><c> Israel</c><00:34:19.320><c> are</c><00:34:19.940><c> doing</c><00:34:20.300><c> in</c><00:34:20.659><c> the</c><00:34:20.880><c> dark,</c>

00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:24.820
each<00:34:22.980><c> in</c><00:34:23.119><c> his</c><00:34:23.320><c> room</c><00:34:23.500><c> of</c><00:34:23.800><c> pictures?</c>

00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:27.579
For<00:34:25.480><c> they</c><00:34:25.780><c> say</c><00:34:25.900><c> the</c><00:34:26.059><c> Lord</c><00:34:26.360><c> does</c><00:34:26.679><c> not</c><00:34:27.039><c> see</c><00:34:27.300><c> us.</c>

00:34:27.579 --> 00:34:30.239
The<00:34:27.840><c> Lord</c><00:34:28.039><c> has</c><00:34:28.360><c> forsaken</c><00:34:29.000><c> the</c><00:34:29.320><c> land.</c>

00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:34.860
So<00:34:31.880><c> people</c><00:34:32.480><c> in</c><00:34:33.059><c> Israel</c><00:34:33.639><c> were</c><00:34:34.300><c> doing</c><00:34:34.559><c> things</c>

00:34:35.099 --> 00:34:36.639
in<00:34:35.440><c> their</c><00:34:35.780><c> secret</c><00:34:36.159><c> places,</c>

00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:39.440
thinking<00:34:37.159><c> that</c><00:34:37.480><c> the</c><00:34:37.719><c> Lord</c><00:34:38.099><c> doesn't</c><00:34:38.739><c> see</c><00:34:39.179><c> them.</c>

00:34:39.460 --> 00:34:41.460
It's<00:34:39.739><c> kind</c><00:34:39.900><c> of</c><00:34:39.960><c> hard</c><00:34:40.099><c> to</c><00:34:40.420><c> understand.</c>

00:34:41.980 --> 00:34:43.320
We<00:34:42.119><c> all</c><00:34:42.280><c> know</c><00:34:42.440><c> God</c><00:34:42.699><c> sees</c><00:34:42.960><c> everything.</c>

00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:45.980
You<00:34:43.480><c> can't</c><00:34:44.679><c> hide</c><00:34:45.059><c> anything</c><00:34:45.440><c> from</c><00:34:45.679><c> the</c><00:34:45.820><c> Lord.</c>

00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:48.400
You<00:34:46.119><c> can't</c><00:34:46.460><c> find</c><00:34:46.659><c> a</c><00:34:46.900><c> place</c><00:34:47.099><c> that</c><00:34:47.260><c> the</c><00:34:47.480><c> Lord</c><00:34:47.659><c> won't</c><00:34:47.940><c> see,</c>

00:34:48.699 --> 00:34:50.960
but<00:34:48.940><c> apparently</c><00:34:49.400><c> they</c><00:34:49.699><c> did.</c>

00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:55.039
Did<00:34:52.760><c> they</c><00:34:52.980><c> not</c><00:34:53.380><c> know</c><00:34:53.659><c> that</c><00:34:53.860><c> God</c><00:34:54.099><c> could</c><00:34:54.460><c> see?</c>

00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:57.940
Ezekiel<00:34:56.219><c> 14,</c><00:34:56.739><c> verse</c><00:34:57.000><c> 23.</c>

00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:01.980
They<00:34:58.420><c> will</c><00:34:58.739><c> console</c><00:34:59.320><c> you</c><00:34:59.699><c> when</c><00:34:59.980><c> you</c><00:35:00.400><c> see</c><00:35:01.000><c> their</c><00:35:01.480><c> ways</c>

00:35:01.980 --> 00:35:04.300
and<00:35:02.239><c> their</c><00:35:02.599><c> deeds,</c><00:35:03.219><c> and</c><00:35:03.539><c> you</c><00:35:03.820><c> shall</c><00:35:04.000><c> know</c>

00:35:04.300 --> 00:35:06.159
that<00:35:04.519><c> I</c><00:35:04.699><c> have</c><00:35:04.880><c> not</c><00:35:05.119><c> done</c><00:35:05.300><c> without</c><00:35:05.719><c> cause</c>

00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:10.079
all<00:35:06.760><c> that</c><00:35:06.980><c> I</c><00:35:07.179><c> have</c><00:35:07.380><c> done</c><00:35:07.639><c> in</c><00:35:07.920><c> it,</c><00:35:08.320><c> declares</c><00:35:08.519><c> the</c><00:35:08.760><c> Lord</c><00:35:09.059><c> God.</c>

00:35:11.780 --> 00:35:15.099
So<00:35:12.179><c> here</c><00:35:12.400><c> again,</c><00:35:12.840><c> the</c><00:35:12.960><c> seeing</c><00:35:13.340><c> of</c><00:35:13.780><c> these</c><00:35:14.019><c> eyes</c><00:35:14.380><c> and</c><00:35:14.559><c> the</c><00:35:14.800><c> wheels,</c>

00:35:15.460 --> 00:35:18.780
I<00:35:15.760><c> think</c><00:35:15.960><c> are</c><00:35:16.280><c> probably</c><00:35:17.079><c> an</c><00:35:18.179><c> indication</c>

00:35:18.780 --> 00:35:21.039
that<00:35:19.099><c> I</c><00:35:19.579><c> see</c><00:35:19.880><c> everything.</c>

00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:23.159
There's<00:35:21.559><c> all</c><00:35:21.860><c> these</c><00:35:22.119><c> eyes,</c><00:35:22.500><c> like</c><00:35:22.659><c> eyes</c><00:35:22.960><c> everywhere.</c>

00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:26.300
And<00:35:23.239><c> almost</c><00:35:23.480><c> like</c><00:35:23.820><c> today</c><00:35:24.039><c> with</c><00:35:24.280><c> surveillance</c><00:35:24.860><c> cameras</c><00:35:25.199><c> everywhere.</c>

00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:27.679
Everything<00:35:26.699><c> is</c><00:35:27.019><c> seen</c><00:35:27.239><c> today.</c>

00:35:27.699 --> 00:35:29.380
You<00:35:27.840><c> can't</c><00:35:28.059><c> do</c><00:35:28.239><c> anything</c><00:35:28.539><c> without</c><00:35:28.880><c> it</c>

00:35:29.380 --> 00:35:30.559
appearing<00:35:29.519><c> on</c><00:35:29.820><c> a</c><00:35:29.920><c> surveillance</c><00:35:30.320><c> camera.</c>

00:35:30.940 --> 00:35:31.739
Well,<00:35:31.079><c> God's</c><00:35:31.400><c> like</c><00:35:31.599><c> that.</c>

00:35:31.739 --> 00:35:32.940
He<00:35:31.840><c> has</c><00:35:32.059><c> surveillance</c><00:35:32.500><c> everywhere.</c>

00:35:32.980 --> 00:35:34.820
He<00:35:33.260><c> sees</c><00:35:33.800><c> everything.</c>

00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:37.099
So<00:35:35.420><c> it</c><00:35:35.539><c> could</c><00:35:35.719><c> be</c><00:35:35.900><c> that</c><00:35:36.079><c> that's</c><00:35:36.420><c> the</c><00:35:36.539><c> whole</c><00:35:36.739><c> idea</c>

00:35:37.099 --> 00:35:41.300
between<00:35:37.559><c> the</c><00:35:38.800><c> eyes</c><00:35:39.360><c> of</c><00:35:40.400><c> this</c><00:35:41.039><c> vision</c>

00:35:41.300 --> 00:35:43.559
in<00:35:41.539><c> Ezekiel</c><00:35:42.119><c> chapter</c><00:35:42.599><c> one.</c>

00:35:44.539 --> 00:35:48.239
And<00:35:44.719><c> what's</c><00:35:45.179><c> interesting</c><00:35:45.619><c> is</c><00:35:45.980><c> that</c><00:35:46.559><c> the</c><00:35:46.920><c> Son</c><00:35:47.059><c> of</c><00:35:47.320><c> Man,</c><00:35:47.639><c> Ezekiel,</c>

00:35:48.239 --> 00:35:51.920
is<00:35:48.519><c> allowed</c><00:35:48.940><c> to</c><00:35:49.400><c> see</c><00:35:49.800><c> what</c><00:35:50.199><c> God</c><00:35:50.820><c> sees.</c>

00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:55.039
Of<00:35:52.400><c> course,</c><00:35:52.559><c> that</c><00:35:52.579><c> would</c><00:35:52.760><c> be</c><00:35:53.059><c> true</c><00:35:53.360><c> with</c><00:35:53.860><c> the</c><00:35:54.320><c> Son</c><00:35:54.559><c> of</c><00:35:54.820><c> Man,</c>

00:35:55.059 --> 00:35:56.219
the<00:35:55.199><c> Lord</c><00:35:55.340><c> Jesus</c><00:35:55.679><c> Christ.</c>

00:35:56.599 --> 00:36:00.059
He<00:35:56.860><c> would</c><00:35:57.039><c> be</c><00:35:57.300><c> able</c><00:35:57.460><c> to</c><00:35:57.679><c> see</c><00:35:57.820><c> what</c><00:35:58.019><c> God</c><00:35:58.340><c> sees</c><00:35:58.739><c> also.</c>

00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:04.280
And<00:36:01.139><c> it</c><00:36:01.719><c> seems</c><00:36:01.940><c> that</c><00:36:02.260><c> God</c><00:36:02.539><c> is</c><00:36:02.940><c> actually</c><00:36:03.500><c> appealing</c>

00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:06.719
to<00:36:05.139><c> the</c><00:36:05.320><c> Son</c><00:36:05.460><c> of</c><00:36:05.559><c> Man,</c><00:36:05.719><c> to</c><00:36:05.920><c> Ezekiel,</c>

00:36:06.900 --> 00:36:11.460
to<00:36:07.199><c> understand</c><00:36:08.000><c> why</c><00:36:08.659><c> he</c><00:36:08.960><c> has</c><00:36:09.360><c> to</c><00:36:09.659><c> be</c><00:36:09.940><c> so</c><00:36:10.400><c> severe.</c>

00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:13.559
He's<00:36:12.219><c> saying</c><00:36:12.400><c> they</c><00:36:12.559><c> will</c><00:36:12.860><c> console</c><00:36:13.300><c> you</c>

00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:16.360
when<00:36:13.780><c> you</c><00:36:14.320><c> see</c><00:36:14.719><c> their</c><00:36:15.179><c> ways</c><00:36:15.440><c> and</c><00:36:15.719><c> their</c><00:36:16.059><c> deeds,</c>

00:36:16.460 --> 00:36:19.440
and<00:36:16.599><c> you</c><00:36:16.820><c> shall</c><00:36:17.079><c> know</c><00:36:17.559><c> that</c><00:36:17.780><c> I</c><00:36:17.900><c> have</c><00:36:18.059><c> not</c><00:36:18.380><c> done</c><00:36:18.579><c> without</c><00:36:19.039><c> cause</c>

00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:23.019
all<00:36:20.099><c> that</c><00:36:20.360><c> I</c><00:36:20.519><c> have</c><00:36:20.800><c> done</c><00:36:21.139><c> in</c><00:36:21.480><c> it,</c><00:36:21.699><c> declares</c><00:36:22.000><c> the</c><00:36:22.239><c> Lord.</c>

00:36:23.420 --> 00:36:26.699
It's<00:36:23.679><c> though</c><00:36:24.119><c> God</c><00:36:25.139><c> wants</c><00:36:25.619><c> to</c><00:36:25.920><c> appeal</c><00:36:26.320><c> to</c><00:36:26.559><c> him</c>

00:36:26.699 --> 00:36:30.019
to<00:36:26.980><c> understand</c><00:36:27.699><c> why</c><00:36:28.019><c> he's</c><00:36:28.260><c> being</c><00:36:28.639><c> so</c><00:36:29.019><c> severe,</c>

00:36:30.380 --> 00:36:31.280
which<00:36:30.679><c> is</c><00:36:30.960><c> interesting,</c>

00:36:31.300 --> 00:36:33.719
a<00:36:31.420><c> very</c><00:36:31.820><c> interesting</c><00:36:32.239><c> relationship</c><00:36:32.940><c> going</c><00:36:33.219><c> on</c><00:36:33.519><c> here</c>

00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:36.639
between<00:36:34.619><c> God</c><00:36:35.219><c> and</c><00:36:35.559><c> Ezekiel.</c>

00:36:38.099 --> 00:36:43.019
So<00:36:38.739><c> that's</c><00:36:39.039><c> what</c><00:36:39.179><c> I</c><00:36:39.699><c> think</c><00:36:40.059><c> the</c><00:36:40.500><c> eyes</c><00:36:40.800><c> are</c><00:36:41.000><c> all</c><00:36:41.260><c> about</c><00:36:41.579><c> in</c><00:36:41.820><c> this</c><00:36:42.039><c> vision.</c>

00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:45.019
What<00:36:43.239><c> about</c><00:36:43.420><c> the</c><00:36:43.719><c> bronze</c><00:36:43.980><c> legs</c><00:36:44.420><c> and</c><00:36:44.880><c> feet?</c>

00:36:45.099 --> 00:36:47.659
Well,<00:36:45.420><c> I'm</c><00:36:45.760><c> not</c><00:36:46.659><c> quite</c><00:36:47.199><c> sure,</c>

00:36:47.659 --> 00:36:52.239
but<00:36:48.159><c> in</c><00:36:48.579><c> Ezekiel</c><00:36:49.079><c> 1</c><00:36:49.699><c> verse</c><00:36:49.980><c> 7,</c><00:36:50.300><c> it</c><00:36:50.440><c> says</c><00:36:50.699><c> their</c><00:36:50.900><c> legs</c><00:36:51.360><c> were</c><00:36:51.800><c> straight</c>

00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:54.780
and<00:36:52.440><c> the</c><00:36:52.659><c> soles</c><00:36:52.880><c> of</c><00:36:53.000><c> their</c><00:36:53.300><c> feet</c><00:36:53.539><c> were</c><00:36:53.760><c> like</c><00:36:53.940><c> the</c><00:36:54.179><c> soles</c><00:36:54.360><c> of</c><00:36:54.579><c> a</c>

cat's<00:36:55.179><c> foot,</c>

00:36:55.380 --> 00:36:58.440
and<00:36:55.880><c> they</c><00:36:56.400><c> sparkled</c><00:36:56.940><c> like</c><00:36:57.340><c> burnished</c><00:36:58.019><c> bronze.</c>

00:36:58.500 --> 00:37:00.900
I<00:36:58.679><c> don't</c><00:36:58.800><c> know</c><00:36:58.900><c> if</c><00:36:58.940><c> that</c><00:36:59.159><c> means</c><00:36:59.320><c> just</c><00:36:59.679><c> the</c><00:36:59.920><c> feet</c>

00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:04.960
or<00:37:01.519><c> if</c><00:37:01.880><c> it</c><00:37:02.139><c> means</c><00:37:02.739><c> the</c><00:37:03.780><c> legs</c><00:37:04.179><c> and</c><00:37:04.460><c> the</c><00:37:04.719><c> feet.</c>

00:37:05.099 --> 00:37:07.019
I'm<00:37:05.219><c> not</c><00:37:05.460><c> sure</c><00:37:05.599><c> what</c><00:37:05.860><c> they</c><00:37:06.420><c> refer</c><00:37:06.860><c> to.</c>

00:37:07.099 --> 00:37:07.820
They<00:37:07.360><c> sparkle.</c>

00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:11.099
Is<00:37:08.119><c> that</c><00:37:08.420><c> talking</c><00:37:08.599><c> about</c><00:37:08.780><c> just</c><00:37:09.039><c> the</c><00:37:09.260><c> legs</c><00:37:09.500><c> or</c><00:37:09.659><c> just</c><00:37:09.900><c> the</c><00:37:10.139><c> feet?</c>

00:37:11.659 --> 00:37:13.739
But<00:37:12.139><c> in</c><00:37:12.340><c> Daniel</c><00:37:12.599><c> 10</c><00:37:12.860><c> verse</c><00:37:13.119><c> 6,</c>

00:37:13.739 --> 00:37:17.000
the<00:37:14.579><c> arms</c><00:37:15.139><c> and</c><00:37:15.500><c> legs</c><00:37:15.800><c> of</c><00:37:16.079><c> the</c><00:37:16.400><c> angel</c>

00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:21.440
are<00:37:17.880><c> described</c><00:37:18.760><c> as</c><00:37:19.280><c> having</c><00:37:19.719><c> burnished</c><00:37:20.300><c> bronze.</c>

00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:26.179
And<00:37:22.960><c> in</c><00:37:23.179><c> Revelation</c><00:37:24.000><c> chapter</c><00:37:24.800><c> 1</c><00:37:25.059><c> verse</c><00:37:25.659><c> 15,</c>

00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:31.440
the<00:37:26.699><c> feet</c><00:37:26.840><c> of</c><00:37:27.139><c> Jesus</c><00:37:27.739><c> are</c><00:37:28.519><c> described</c><00:37:29.079><c> as</c><00:37:29.679><c> burnished</c><00:37:30.199><c> bronze.</c>

00:37:32.380 --> 00:37:34.820
So<00:37:33.139><c> I'm</c><00:37:33.340><c> not</c><00:37:33.619><c> sure</c><00:37:33.739><c> what</c><00:37:33.860><c> that's</c><00:37:34.159><c> all</c><00:37:34.440><c> about.</c>

00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:37.900
It<00:37:35.480><c> could</c><00:37:35.840><c> indicate</c><00:37:36.360><c> the</c><00:37:36.699><c> divine</c><00:37:37.139><c> foundation</c>

00:37:37.900 --> 00:37:39.820
and<00:37:38.219><c> motivation</c><00:37:38.739><c> of</c><00:37:39.000><c> these</c><00:37:39.239><c> creatures,</c>

00:37:39.820 --> 00:37:41.920
like<00:37:40.800><c> the</c><00:37:41.099><c> spirit</c><00:37:41.340><c> in</c><00:37:41.519><c> the</c><00:37:41.699><c> wheels.</c>

00:37:42.019 --> 00:37:45.559
Underneath<00:37:42.480><c> these</c><00:37:43.139><c> creatures</c><00:37:43.780><c> are</c><00:37:44.900><c> the</c><00:37:45.079><c> wheels,</c>

00:37:45.900 --> 00:37:48.159
and<00:37:46.119><c> the</c><00:37:46.440><c> spirit</c><00:37:46.679><c> is</c><00:37:46.920><c> in</c><00:37:47.059><c> the</c><00:37:47.239><c> wheels.</c>

00:37:48.780 --> 00:37:51.599
So<00:37:49.380><c> maybe</c><00:37:49.980><c> this</c><00:37:50.579><c> burnished</c><00:37:51.039><c> bronze</c>

00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:54.460
for<00:37:51.900><c> the</c><00:37:52.099><c> foundation</c><00:37:52.980><c> of</c><00:37:53.780><c> these</c><00:37:54.079><c> creatures,</c>

00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:56.039
the<00:37:54.900><c> feet</c><00:37:55.139><c> of</c><00:37:55.400><c> these</c><00:37:55.639><c> creatures,</c>

00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:57.840
the<00:37:56.340><c> legs</c><00:37:56.519><c> and</c><00:37:56.780><c> feet</c><00:37:56.920><c> of</c><00:37:57.099><c> these</c><00:37:57.320><c> creatures.</c>

00:37:58.199 --> 00:38:01.679
Maybe<00:37:58.519><c> it's</c><00:37:58.900><c> some</c><00:37:59.119><c> indication</c><00:37:59.820><c> of</c><00:38:00.159><c> a</c><00:38:00.500><c> divine</c><00:38:00.920><c> foundation.</c>

00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:03.340
Could<00:38:01.940><c> it</c><00:38:02.079><c> be</c><00:38:02.280><c> that?</c>

00:38:03.400 --> 00:38:05.099
And<00:38:03.780><c> maybe</c><00:38:04.099><c> it's</c><00:38:04.400><c> in</c><00:38:04.639><c> contrast</c>

00:38:05.099 --> 00:38:08.320
to<00:38:05.300><c> the</c><00:38:05.519><c> feet</c><00:38:05.639><c> of</c><00:38:05.820><c> the</c><00:38:06.000><c> metallic</c><00:38:06.420><c> image</c><00:38:06.780><c> of</c><00:38:07.039><c> Daniels,</c>

00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:09.320
of<00:38:08.659><c> iron</c><00:38:08.940><c> and</c><00:38:09.179><c> clay.</c>

00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:11.440
Remember<00:38:09.739><c> the</c><00:38:09.980><c> metallic</c><00:38:10.440><c> image?</c>

00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:13.460
It<00:38:11.780><c> didn't</c><00:38:12.000><c> have</c><00:38:12.260><c> feet</c><00:38:12.440><c> of</c><00:38:12.679><c> burnished</c><00:38:13.000><c> bronze.</c>

00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:15.260
It<00:38:13.800><c> had</c><00:38:13.980><c> feet</c><00:38:14.199><c> of</c><00:38:14.380><c> iron</c><00:38:14.559><c> and</c><00:38:14.860><c> clay,</c>

00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:17.019
and<00:38:15.679><c> that</c><00:38:15.860><c> was</c><00:38:16.340><c> a</c><00:38:16.539><c> weakness.</c>

00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:20.119
And<00:38:17.619><c> the</c><00:38:17.840><c> stone</c><00:38:18.239><c> cut</c><00:38:19.480><c> out</c><00:38:19.639><c> of</c><00:38:19.739><c> the</c><00:38:19.920><c> mountain,</c>

00:38:20.260 --> 00:38:22.679
with<00:38:20.480><c> human</c><00:38:20.820><c> hands,</c><00:38:21.420><c> strikes</c><00:38:21.659><c> the</c><00:38:21.980><c> image</c><00:38:22.119><c> of</c><00:38:22.340><c> the</c><00:38:22.519><c> feet,</c>

00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:26.280
and<00:38:23.159><c> the</c><00:38:23.659><c> image</c><00:38:23.860><c> just</c><00:38:24.300><c> collapses</c><00:38:24.840><c> and</c><00:38:25.099><c> is</c><00:38:25.320><c> totally</c><00:38:25.579><c> destroyed.</c>

00:38:26.659 --> 00:38:29.719
So<00:38:26.880><c> the</c><00:38:27.079><c> feet</c><00:38:27.219><c> of</c><00:38:27.760><c> the</c><00:38:28.260><c> metallic</c><00:38:28.599><c> image,</c>

00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:32.639
the<00:38:30.199><c> feet</c><00:38:30.360><c> of</c><00:38:31.780><c> Nebuchadnezzar,</c>

00:38:32.780 --> 00:38:35.179
if<00:38:32.880><c> that</c><00:38:33.079><c> image</c><00:38:33.340><c> looked</c><00:38:33.559><c> like</c><00:38:33.820><c> Nebuchadnezzar,</c>

00:38:35.179 --> 00:38:41.360
was<00:38:36.139><c> destroyed</c><00:38:37.900><c> because</c><00:38:39.579><c> of</c><00:38:39.780><c> its</c><00:38:40.380><c> weak</c><00:38:40.639><c> foundation,</c>

00:38:41.380 --> 00:38:43.840
its<00:38:42.039><c> iron</c><00:38:42.360><c> and</c><00:38:42.599><c> clay</c><00:38:42.920><c> feet.</c>

00:38:44.059 --> 00:38:47.579
So<00:38:44.539><c> I</c><00:38:45.039><c> just</c><00:38:45.280><c> wonder,</c><00:38:45.500><c> is</c><00:38:45.639><c> there</c><00:38:45.820><c> a</c><00:38:46.280><c> contrast</c><00:38:46.659><c> there?</c>

00:38:49.300 --> 00:38:53.239
Anyway,<00:38:50.059><c> I</c><00:38:50.480><c> think</c><00:38:50.900><c> this</c><00:38:52.360><c> is,</c><00:38:52.920><c> you</c><00:38:52.940><c> know,</c>

00:38:53.340 --> 00:38:55.099
conjecture,<00:38:53.980><c> a</c><00:38:54.059><c> bit</c><00:38:54.139><c> of</c><00:38:54.360><c> speculation,</c>

00:38:55.099 --> 00:38:58.159
and<00:38:55.679><c> it</c><00:38:55.880><c> doesn't</c><00:38:56.000><c> really</c><00:38:56.360><c> change</c><00:38:57.260><c> the</c><00:38:57.739><c> conclusions</c>

00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:00.920
I've<00:38:58.539><c> come</c><00:38:58.739><c> to</c><00:38:59.340><c> with</c><00:38:59.800><c> Ezekiel</c><00:39:00.340><c> chapter</c><00:39:00.739><c> 1.</c>

00:39:01.059 --> 00:39:03.239
I<00:39:01.079><c> still</c><00:39:01.480><c> think</c><00:39:01.940><c> the</c><00:39:02.380><c> important</c><00:39:02.719><c> thing</c>

00:39:03.239 --> 00:39:06.699
is<00:39:03.619><c> that</c><00:39:03.820><c> we</c><00:39:04.059><c> see</c><00:39:04.360><c> that</c><00:39:05.000><c> as</c><00:39:05.239><c> a</c><00:39:05.360><c> vision</c><00:39:05.639><c> of</c><00:39:05.920><c> Nebuchadnezzar,</c>

00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:10.199
whom<00:39:07.019><c> God</c><00:39:07.380><c> is</c><00:39:07.679><c> going</c><00:39:07.900><c> to</c><00:39:08.139><c> bring</c><00:39:08.320><c> down</c><00:39:08.880><c> against</c><00:39:09.519><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:13.239
And<00:39:10.900><c> all</c><00:39:11.059><c> these</c><00:39:11.260><c> other</c><00:39:11.599><c> things</c><00:39:11.860><c> I'm</c><00:39:12.079><c> adding</c><00:39:12.380><c> in</c><00:39:12.699><c> here</c>

00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:16.639
are,<00:39:13.880><c> you</c><00:39:14.500><c> know,</c><00:39:14.980><c> maybe</c><00:39:15.199><c> a</c><00:39:15.300><c> bit</c><00:39:15.460><c> of</c><00:39:15.679><c> speculation</c><00:39:16.239><c> there,</c>

00:39:16.739 --> 00:39:18.239
worthy<00:39:17.000><c> of</c><00:39:17.280><c> discussion.</c>

00:39:20.200 --> 00:39:22.340
Now,<00:39:20.800><c> here's</c><00:39:21.400><c> the</c><00:39:21.699><c> important</c><00:39:22.000><c> part,</c>

00:39:22.340 --> 00:39:23.980
and<00:39:22.519><c> this</c><00:39:22.679><c> is</c><00:39:22.860><c> the</c><00:39:23.059><c> lesson.</c>

00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:28.420
And<00:39:25.019><c> the</c><00:39:25.159><c> lesson</c><00:39:25.659><c> is</c><00:39:26.239><c> that</c><00:39:26.940><c> the</c><00:39:27.340><c> Spirit</c><00:39:27.679><c> of</c><00:39:27.900><c> God</c>

00:39:28.420 --> 00:39:30.199
moved<00:39:29.280><c> the</c><00:39:29.699><c> creatures.</c>

00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:33.300
So<00:39:30.820><c> though</c><00:39:31.099><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:39:31.840><c> was</c><00:39:32.059><c> a</c><00:39:32.340><c> conqueror,</c>

00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:36.239
God<00:39:33.860><c> was</c><00:39:34.440><c> in</c><00:39:34.940><c> control.</c>

00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:39.420
God<00:39:37.679><c> is</c><00:39:37.920><c> in</c><00:39:38.059><c> control</c><00:39:38.440><c> of</c><00:39:38.840><c> everything,</c>

00:39:39.500 --> 00:39:42.039
and<00:39:40.119><c> he</c><00:39:40.559><c> sees</c><00:39:40.920><c> everything.</c>

00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:45.039
That's<00:39:42.780><c> a</c><00:39:42.880><c> lesson</c><00:39:43.139><c> that</c><00:39:43.639><c> we</c><00:39:44.139><c> need</c><00:39:44.380><c> to</c><00:39:44.659><c> take</c><00:39:44.860><c> in</c>

00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:46.159
as<00:39:45.280><c> people</c><00:39:45.599><c> of</c><00:39:45.900><c> faith.</c>

00:39:46.179 --> 00:39:47.539
We<00:39:46.320><c> need</c><00:39:46.519><c> to</c><00:39:46.760><c> trust</c><00:39:47.079><c> that,</c>

00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:49.719
that<00:39:48.019><c> God</c><00:39:48.300><c> is</c><00:39:48.519><c> in</c><00:39:48.699><c> control</c><00:39:49.019><c> of</c><00:39:49.179><c> the</c><00:39:49.420><c> nations,</c>

00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:51.860
especially<00:39:50.800><c> any</c><00:39:51.219><c> of</c><00:39:51.360><c> the</c><00:39:51.519><c> nations</c>

00:39:51.860 --> 00:39:54.019
that<00:39:52.099><c> have</c><00:39:52.260><c> to</c><00:39:52.440><c> do</c><00:39:52.519><c> with</c><00:39:52.880><c> Israel.</c>

00:39:54.160 --> 00:39:55.579
He's<00:39:54.780><c> moving</c><00:39:55.139><c> them.</c>

00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:57.460
And<00:39:56.159><c> he</c><00:39:56.440><c> sees</c><00:39:56.780><c> everything,</c>

00:39:57.460 --> 00:40:00.380
sees<00:39:58.119><c> everything</c><00:39:58.579><c> in</c><00:39:58.800><c> the</c><00:39:58.980><c> lives</c><00:39:59.199><c> of</c><00:39:59.380><c> the</c><00:39:59.539><c> people</c><00:39:59.739><c> of</c><00:39:59.920><c> Israel</c>

00:40:00.380 --> 00:40:03.159
and<00:40:00.860><c> in</c><00:40:01.059><c> our</c><00:40:01.320><c> lives,</c><00:40:02.000><c> too.</c>

00:40:03.260 --> 00:40:04.880
Now,<00:40:03.400><c> that</c><00:40:03.579><c> may</c><00:40:03.900><c> seem</c><00:40:04.280><c> obvious,</c>

00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:06.840
but<00:40:05.159><c> it's,</c><00:40:06.059><c> you</c><00:40:06.500><c> know,</c>

00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:08.300
sometimes<00:40:07.320><c> I</c><00:40:07.519><c> think</c><00:40:07.639><c> we</c><00:40:07.800><c> can</c><00:40:08.019><c> behave</c>

00:40:08.300 --> 00:40:09.340
as<00:40:08.440><c> though</c><00:40:08.579><c> God</c><00:40:08.760><c> isn't</c><00:40:09.039><c> looking.</c>

00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:10.519
I<00:40:09.739><c> can</c><00:40:09.960><c> do</c><00:40:10.219><c> that.</c>

00:40:10.699 --> 00:40:13.500
I'll<00:40:10.780><c> think,</c><00:40:11.619><c> you</c><00:40:13.199><c> know,</c>

00:40:13.500 --> 00:40:14.219
what<00:40:13.679><c> am</c><00:40:13.820><c> I</c><00:40:13.920><c> doing?</c>

00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:17.380
God<00:40:15.000><c> knows</c><00:40:15.420><c> he</c><00:40:15.860><c> sees</c><00:40:16.199><c> this.</c>

00:40:17.659 --> 00:40:19.340
Maybe<00:40:18.000><c> you</c><00:40:18.199><c> have</c><00:40:18.300><c> that</c><00:40:18.500><c> experience,</c><00:40:19.179><c> too.</c>

00:40:19.340 --> 00:40:20.940
I<00:40:19.420><c> don't</c><00:40:19.639><c> know.</c>

00:40:22.820 --> 00:40:24.579
He<00:40:23.400><c> characterizes</c><00:40:23.980><c> the</c><00:40:24.280><c> leaders</c>

00:40:24.579 --> 00:40:28.340
of<00:40:24.719><c> the</c><00:40:24.880><c> Gentile</c><00:40:25.539><c> nations</c><00:40:26.079><c> as</c><00:40:27.039><c> beasts.</c>

00:40:28.980 --> 00:40:30.019
Okay?

00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:32.320
And<00:40:30.179><c> he</c><00:40:30.320><c> will</c><00:40:30.639><c> move</c><00:40:31.000><c> the</c><00:40:31.260><c> Gentile</c><00:40:31.940><c> leaders</c>

00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:34.420
to<00:40:32.739><c> do</c><00:40:33.000><c> his</c><00:40:33.440><c> will.</c>

00:40:36.099 --> 00:40:38.699
Ezekiel<00:40:36.539><c> 23</c><00:40:37.119><c> verse</c><00:40:37.420><c> 22.</c>

00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:41.000
Therefore,<00:40:40.260><c> O</c><00:40:40.260><c> Aholaba,</c>

00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:42.460
thus<00:40:41.360><c> says</c><00:40:41.699><c> the</c><00:40:41.940><c> Lord</c><00:40:42.139><c> God,</c>

00:40:42.500 --> 00:40:45.940
behold,<00:40:43.360><c> I</c><00:40:43.599><c> will</c><00:40:44.019><c> stir</c><00:40:44.539><c> up</c><00:40:45.099><c> against</c><00:40:45.579><c> you</c>

00:40:45.940 --> 00:40:50.500
your<00:40:46.500><c> lovers</c><00:40:47.320><c> from</c><00:40:48.340><c> whom</c><00:40:48.639><c> you</c><00:40:49.079><c> turned</c><00:40:49.400><c> in</c><00:40:49.940><c> disgust,</c>

00:40:50.659 --> 00:40:52.780
and<00:40:50.980><c> I</c><00:40:51.179><c> will</c><00:40:51.500><c> bring</c><00:40:51.880><c> them</c><00:40:52.139><c> against</c><00:40:52.559><c> you</c>

00:40:52.780 --> 00:40:53.639
from<00:40:53.019><c> every</c><00:40:53.360><c> side.</c>

00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:56.000
What's<00:40:54.079><c> this</c><00:40:54.340><c> idea</c><00:40:54.780><c> of</c><00:40:55.000><c> the</c><00:40:55.239><c> lovers?</c>

00:40:56.219 --> 00:40:58.739
Well,<00:40:56.400><c> that's</c><00:40:57.380><c> describing</c>

00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:01.500
the<00:40:59.960><c> adulterous</c><00:41:00.639><c> relationships</c>

00:41:01.500 --> 00:41:03.519
that<00:41:01.800><c> the</c><00:41:02.039><c> people</c><00:41:02.320><c> of</c><00:41:02.420><c> Israel</c><00:41:02.920><c> formed</c>

00:41:03.519 --> 00:41:05.760
with<00:41:03.760><c> the</c><00:41:03.940><c> Gentile</c><00:41:04.559><c> nations,</c>

00:41:06.059 --> 00:41:07.480
what<00:41:06.219><c> they</c><00:41:06.579><c> should</c><00:41:06.719><c> have</c><00:41:06.860><c> been</c><00:41:07.059><c> doing</c>

00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:09.400
as<00:41:07.960><c> repenting</c><00:41:08.579><c> of</c><00:41:08.760><c> their</c><00:41:08.960><c> sins</c>

00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:12.119
and<00:41:09.960><c> turning</c><00:41:10.360><c> to</c><00:41:10.639><c> God</c><00:41:10.960><c> for</c><00:41:11.119><c> their</c><00:41:11.400><c> security.</c>

00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:16.400
But<00:41:12.840><c> instead,</c><00:41:13.940><c> they</c><00:41:14.559><c> looked</c><00:41:14.900><c> to</c><00:41:15.119><c> the</c><00:41:15.260><c> Gentile</c><00:41:15.880><c> nations</c>

00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:19.559
and<00:41:16.659><c> made</c><00:41:16.860><c> their</c><00:41:17.219><c> alliances</c><00:41:17.659><c> and</c><00:41:17.960><c> their</c><00:41:18.239><c> deals</c><00:41:18.599><c> with</c><00:41:18.900><c> them,</c>

00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:23.019
and<00:41:20.039><c> they</c><00:41:20.420><c> followed</c><00:41:20.760><c> the</c><00:41:21.179><c> evil</c><00:41:21.420><c> ways</c><00:41:21.820><c> of</c><00:41:22.019><c> the</c><00:41:22.239><c> Gentiles,</c>

00:41:23.019 --> 00:41:24.800
all<00:41:23.500><c> of</c><00:41:23.659><c> their</c><00:41:23.900><c> evil</c><00:41:24.260><c> deeds,</c>

00:41:24.820 --> 00:41:27.699
and<00:41:25.039><c> they</c><00:41:25.239><c> formed</c><00:41:25.440><c> these</c><00:41:25.820><c> adulterous</c><00:41:26.380><c> relationships,</c>

00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:29.280
and<00:41:28.139><c> it</c><00:41:28.340><c> made</c><00:41:28.519><c> God</c><00:41:28.800><c> jealous,</c>

00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:32.139
and<00:41:29.460><c> it</c><00:41:29.619><c> made</c><00:41:29.739><c> him</c><00:41:29.880><c> very</c><00:41:30.420><c> angry</c><00:41:30.880><c> with</c><00:41:31.179><c> them.</c>

00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:34.260
So<00:41:32.739><c> God</c><00:41:33.400><c> would</c><00:41:33.820><c> stir</c><00:41:34.059><c> up.</c>

00:41:34.300 --> 00:41:34.940
Notice<00:41:34.619><c> that.</c>

00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:38.159
I<00:41:35.619><c> will</c><00:41:36.059><c> stir</c><00:41:36.440><c> up</c><00:41:36.800><c> against</c><00:41:37.280><c> you</c><00:41:37.559><c> your</c><00:41:37.860><c> lovers,</c>

00:41:38.260 --> 00:41:39.719
these<00:41:38.559><c> Gentile</c><00:41:39.199><c> nations.</c>

00:41:40.219 --> 00:41:43.440
I<00:41:40.820><c> will</c><00:41:41.219><c> bring</c><00:41:41.539><c> them</c><00:41:42.000><c> against</c><00:41:42.559><c> you.</c>

00:41:43.500 --> 00:41:43.699
See?

00:41:43.699 --> 00:41:46.579
I<00:41:43.820><c> think</c><00:41:43.980><c> that's</c><00:41:44.380><c> the</c><00:41:44.599><c> theme</c><00:41:44.940><c> of</c><00:41:45.219><c> Ezekiel</c><00:41:45.719><c> 1.</c>

00:41:46.699 --> 00:41:49.699
I<00:41:47.199><c> will</c><00:41:47.559><c> bring</c><00:41:47.739><c> them</c><00:41:48.159><c> against</c><00:41:48.739><c> you.</c>

00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:54.099
I<00:41:52.179><c> think</c><00:41:52.440><c> the</c><00:41:52.639><c> people</c><00:41:52.960><c> of</c><00:41:53.079><c> Israel</c><00:41:53.619><c> thought</c>

00:41:54.099 --> 00:41:56.039
they<00:41:54.340><c> could</c><00:41:54.659><c> manipulate</c><00:41:55.440><c> their</c><00:41:55.760><c> way,</c>

00:41:56.139 --> 00:41:57.900
they<00:41:56.239><c> could</c><00:41:56.460><c> make</c><00:41:56.820><c> deals,</c>

00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:00.099
they<00:41:58.500><c> could</c><00:41:58.719><c> make</c><00:41:58.940><c> their</c><00:41:59.179><c> own</c><00:41:59.480><c> peace,</c>

00:42:00.460 --> 00:42:03.000
and<00:42:00.900><c> they</c><00:42:01.039><c> wouldn't</c><00:42:01.219><c> have</c><00:42:01.619><c> to</c><00:42:02.539><c> resort</c>

00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:04.619
to<00:42:03.480><c> changing</c><00:42:03.920><c> their</c><00:42:04.239><c> ways</c>

00:42:04.619 --> 00:42:06.900
and<00:42:04.880><c> repenting</c><00:42:05.340><c> of</c><00:42:05.400><c> their</c><00:42:05.599><c> sins</c><00:42:05.800><c> and</c><00:42:06.019><c> turning</c><00:42:06.239><c> to</c><00:42:06.420><c> God.</c>

00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:09.639
I<00:42:07.539><c> think</c><00:42:07.719><c> they</c><00:42:07.980><c> felt</c><00:42:08.159><c> they</c><00:42:08.340><c> can</c><00:42:08.639><c> continue</c>

00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:11.780
working<00:42:10.420><c> things</c><00:42:10.739><c> out</c><00:42:11.039><c> on</c><00:42:11.199><c> their</c><00:42:11.480><c> own,</c>

00:42:12.219 --> 00:42:15.019
apart<00:42:12.460><c> from</c><00:42:12.719><c> God,</c><00:42:13.039><c> apart</c><00:42:13.400><c> from</c><00:42:13.659><c> following</c><00:42:13.980><c> His</c><00:42:14.340><c> ways.</c>

00:42:15.460 --> 00:42:18.300
So<00:42:15.659><c> I</c><00:42:15.699><c> think</c><00:42:15.940><c> that</c><00:42:16.380><c> is</c><00:42:16.699><c> the</c><00:42:17.159><c> real</c><00:42:17.440><c> important</c><00:42:17.960><c> lesson.</c>

00:42:18.300 --> 00:42:23.380
Look<00:42:18.519><c> at</c><00:42:18.699><c> this</c><00:42:18.860><c> next</c><00:42:19.199><c> passage</c><00:42:19.820><c> in</c><00:42:20.780><c> Ezekiel</c><00:42:21.260><c> 16,</c><00:42:21.860><c> verse</c><00:42:22.139><c> 37.</c>

00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:26.860
Therefore,<00:42:24.059><c> behold,</c><00:42:24.559><c> I</c><00:42:24.780><c> will</c><00:42:25.039><c> gather</c><00:42:25.460><c> all</c><00:42:25.880><c> your</c><00:42:26.280><c> lovers</c>

00:42:26.860 --> 00:42:29.579
with<00:42:27.360><c> whom</c><00:42:27.699><c> you</c><00:42:28.079><c> took</c><00:42:28.340><c> pleasure,</c>

00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:34.619
all<00:42:30.099><c> those</c><00:42:30.400><c> you</c><00:42:30.960><c> loved</c><00:42:31.460><c> and</c><00:42:32.300><c> all</c><00:42:32.780><c> those</c><00:42:33.159><c> you</c><00:42:33.780><c> hated.</c>

00:42:35.059 --> 00:42:38.820
I<00:42:35.460><c> will</c><00:42:35.760><c> gather</c><00:42:36.159><c> them</c><00:42:36.619><c> against</c><00:42:37.320><c> you</c><00:42:37.579><c> from</c><00:42:37.880><c> every</c><00:42:38.280><c> side</c>

00:42:38.820 --> 00:42:41.860
and<00:42:39.400><c> will</c><00:42:39.679><c> uncover</c><00:42:40.320><c> your</c><00:42:40.679><c> nakedness</c><00:42:41.260><c> to</c><00:42:41.460><c> them,</c>

00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:44.900
that<00:42:42.340><c> they</c><00:42:42.559><c> may</c><00:42:42.920><c> see</c><00:42:43.440><c> all</c><00:42:43.780><c> your</c><00:42:44.059><c> nakedness.</c>

00:42:44.900 --> 00:42:48.179
So<00:42:45.860><c> here</c><00:42:46.159><c> again,</c><00:42:47.519><c> they're</c><00:42:47.780><c> lovers,</c>

00:42:48.360 --> 00:42:52.340
these<00:42:48.800><c> Gentile</c><00:42:49.380><c> nations</c><00:42:49.880><c> they</c><00:42:50.159><c> made</c><00:42:50.380><c> their</c><00:42:50.739><c> alliances</c><00:42:51.199><c> with.</c>

00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:57.559
And<00:42:54.119><c> what</c><00:42:54.960><c> I</c><00:42:55.179><c> find</c><00:42:55.340><c> interesting</c><00:42:55.840><c> about</c><00:42:56.119><c> this</c><00:42:56.480><c> passage,</c>

00:42:57.860 --> 00:42:58.860
not<00:42:58.099><c> only</c><00:42:58.300><c> is</c><00:42:58.460><c> it</c><00:42:58.619><c> saying,</c>

00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:02.380
I<00:42:59.139><c> will</c><00:42:59.519><c> gather</c><00:43:00.039><c> your</c><00:43:00.460><c> lovers</c><00:43:00.960><c> with</c><00:43:01.460><c> whom</c><00:43:01.599><c> you</c><00:43:01.800><c> took</c><00:43:01.940><c> pleasure,</c>

00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:06.920
but<00:43:02.800><c> it's</c><00:43:03.099><c> those</c><00:43:03.500><c> you</c><00:43:04.260><c> loved</c><00:43:04.920><c> and</c><00:43:05.840><c> all</c><00:43:06.059><c> those</c><00:43:06.300><c> you</c><00:43:06.699><c> hated.</c>

00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:09.400
Now,<00:43:07.199><c> you</c><00:43:07.340><c> could</c><00:43:07.599><c> see</c><00:43:07.840><c> where</c><00:43:08.460><c> God</c><00:43:08.760><c> would</c><00:43:09.099><c> bring</c>

00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:12.800
the<00:43:10.039><c> enemies</c><00:43:10.599><c> against</c><00:43:11.400><c> them,</c><00:43:11.559><c> the</c><00:43:11.760><c> ones</c><00:43:11.980><c> they</c><00:43:12.440><c> hated,</c>

00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:17.519
but<00:43:13.599><c> He's</c><00:43:13.900><c> going</c><00:43:14.039><c> to</c><00:43:14.199><c> bring</c><00:43:14.360><c> all</c><00:43:14.719><c> those</c><00:43:14.960><c> you</c><00:43:15.539><c> loved</c><00:43:15.820><c> against</c><00:43:16.420><c> them.</c>

00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:23.039
When<00:43:21.000><c> the</c><00:43:21.239><c> Babylonian</c><00:43:21.940><c> invasion</c><00:43:22.480><c> came,</c>

00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:25.699
they<00:43:23.619><c> would</c><00:43:24.000><c> know</c><00:43:24.300><c> that</c><00:43:24.519><c> God</c><00:43:24.780><c> was</c><00:43:25.099><c> behind</c><00:43:25.460><c> it.</c>

00:43:25.820 --> 00:43:28.539
The<00:43:26.039><c> refrain</c><00:43:26.739><c> that</c><00:43:27.320><c> Ezekiel</c><00:43:27.699><c> is</c><00:43:27.900><c> known</c><00:43:28.139><c> for</c>

00:43:28.539 --> 00:43:30.559
is<00:43:28.860><c> they</c><00:43:29.059><c> will</c><00:43:29.340><c> know</c><00:43:29.639><c> that</c><00:43:29.900><c> I</c><00:43:30.000><c> am</c><00:43:30.159><c> the</c><00:43:30.360><c> Lord,</c>

00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:32.300
meaning<00:43:31.000><c> up</c><00:43:31.760><c> to</c><00:43:31.940><c> that</c><00:43:32.139><c> point,</c>

00:43:32.300 --> 00:43:34.039
they<00:43:32.420><c> don't</c><00:43:32.659><c> know</c><00:43:32.980><c> that</c><00:43:33.159><c> God</c><00:43:33.340><c> is</c><00:43:33.559><c> the</c><00:43:33.760><c> Lord.</c>

00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:36.059
They're<00:43:34.599><c> just</c><00:43:34.940><c> going</c><00:43:35.280><c> on</c><00:43:35.440><c> their</c><00:43:35.619><c> own</c><00:43:35.840><c> way,</c>

00:43:36.099 --> 00:43:37.940
so<00:43:36.260><c> God</c><00:43:36.500><c> didn't</c><00:43:36.780><c> exist.</c>

00:43:38.700 --> 00:43:43.059
But<00:43:39.260><c> once</c><00:43:39.800><c> the</c><00:43:40.079><c> Babylonian</c><00:43:40.880><c> invasion</c><00:43:41.500><c> came,</c>

00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:45.760
they<00:43:43.400><c> would</c><00:43:43.699><c> know</c><00:43:43.960><c> God</c><00:43:44.239><c> was</c><00:43:44.559><c> behind</c><00:43:45.159><c> it.</c>

00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:48.739
And<00:43:46.079><c> that's</c><00:43:46.380><c> really</c><00:43:46.719><c> the</c><00:43:46.880><c> purpose</c><00:43:47.199><c> of</c><00:43:47.420><c> this</c><00:43:47.659><c> prophecy,</c>

00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:50.820
because<00:43:50.119><c> Ezekiel's</c><00:43:50.679><c> told,</c>

00:43:50.900 --> 00:43:51.800
they're<00:43:50.960><c> not</c><00:43:51.119><c> going</c><00:43:51.239><c> to</c><00:43:51.300><c> listen</c><00:43:51.539><c> to</c><00:43:51.719><c> you,</c>

00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:53.280
they're<00:43:51.920><c> not</c><00:43:52.019><c> going</c><00:43:52.179><c> to</c><00:43:52.340><c> repent.</c>

00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:54.500
Well,<00:43:53.480><c> so</c><00:43:53.619><c> why</c><00:43:53.840><c> give</c><00:43:54.039><c> it</c><00:43:54.179><c> it</c><00:43:54.360><c> all?</c>

00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:55.880
And<00:43:54.719><c> I</c><00:43:54.840><c> think</c><00:43:55.000><c> this</c><00:43:55.219><c> is</c><00:43:55.500><c> why.</c>

00:43:56.099 --> 00:43:58.420
So<00:43:56.340><c> that</c><00:43:56.659><c> after</c><00:43:57.119><c> the</c><00:43:57.400><c> invasion</c><00:43:57.840><c> came,</c>

00:43:58.699 --> 00:44:01.360
then<00:43:58.840><c> they</c><00:43:58.980><c> would</c><00:43:59.179><c> say</c><00:43:59.719><c> Ezekiel</c><00:44:00.639><c> was</c><00:44:00.980><c> right.</c>

00:44:01.699 --> 00:44:05.500
This<00:44:02.079><c> was</c><00:44:02.559><c> God</c><00:44:02.880><c> who</c><00:44:03.139><c> brought</c><00:44:03.219><c> this</c><00:44:03.539><c> destruction</c><00:44:04.099><c> upon</c><00:44:04.539><c> us.</c>

00:44:06.600 --> 00:44:10.900
But<00:44:07.200><c> also,</c><00:44:08.820><c> they</c><00:44:08.960><c> would</c><00:44:09.300><c> know</c><00:44:09.820><c> that</c><00:44:10.340><c> therefore</c>

00:44:10.900 --> 00:44:13.340
Ezekiel's<00:44:11.860><c> promise</c><00:44:12.119><c> of</c><00:44:12.400><c> restoration</c>

00:44:13.340 --> 00:44:16.539
was<00:44:14.119><c> something</c><00:44:14.519><c> that</c><00:44:14.739><c> they</c><00:44:14.820><c> could</c><00:44:15.199><c> hope</c><00:44:15.519><c> for.</c>

00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:18.280
So<00:44:17.300><c> I</c><00:44:17.400><c> think</c><00:44:17.579><c> that's</c><00:44:17.960><c> important.</c>

00:44:18.340 --> 00:44:20.480
It<00:44:18.400><c> wasn't</c><00:44:18.639><c> just</c><00:44:18.980><c> so</c><00:44:19.260><c> that</c><00:44:19.579><c> they</c><00:44:19.880><c> could</c><00:44:20.159><c> say,</c>

00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:21.980
see,<00:44:20.980><c> I</c><00:44:21.199><c> told</c><00:44:21.460><c> you</c><00:44:21.679><c> so.</c>

00:44:22.019 --> 00:44:24.119
I<00:44:22.199><c> told</c><00:44:22.380><c> you</c><00:44:22.519><c> God</c><00:44:22.719><c> was</c><00:44:22.940><c> going</c><00:44:23.099><c> to</c><00:44:23.420><c> destroy</c><00:44:23.659><c> you.</c>

00:44:24.380 --> 00:44:27.460
It's<00:44:24.940><c> really</c><00:44:25.380><c> so</c><00:44:25.719><c> that</c><00:44:26.139><c> when</c><00:44:26.480><c> they</c><00:44:26.679><c> were</c><00:44:26.880><c> destroyed,</c>

00:44:27.539 --> 00:44:28.920
when<00:44:27.699><c> they</c><00:44:27.900><c> were</c><00:44:28.159><c> in</c><00:44:28.280><c> distress,</c>

00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:33.480
that<00:44:29.559><c> they</c><00:44:29.760><c> could</c><00:44:30.059><c> also</c><00:44:30.579><c> count</c><00:44:30.900><c> on</c><00:44:31.219><c> Ezekiel's</c><00:44:32.039><c> promise</c><00:44:32.340><c> of</c><00:44:32.659><c> restoration</c>

00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:36.019
that<00:44:33.920><c> you</c><00:44:34.159><c> see</c><00:44:34.440><c> later</c><00:44:34.880><c> on</c><00:44:35.260><c> in</c><00:44:35.440><c> his</c><00:44:35.579><c> prophecy,</c>

00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:39.260
which<00:44:36.519><c> is</c><00:44:36.840><c> typical</c><00:44:37.300><c> of</c><00:44:37.800><c> all</c><00:44:38.059><c> Bible</c><00:44:38.440><c> prophecy,</c>

00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:43.179
where<00:44:39.980><c> you</c><00:44:40.260><c> have</c><00:44:40.579><c> God's</c><00:44:41.139><c> judgment</c><00:44:41.420><c> on</c><00:44:41.619><c> the</c><00:44:41.780><c> people</c><00:44:42.019><c> of</c><00:44:42.179><c> Israel,</c>

00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:46.900
but<00:44:43.860><c> a</c><00:44:44.340><c> remnant</c><00:44:44.659><c> that</c><00:44:44.920><c> repents</c><00:44:45.559><c> is</c><00:44:46.219><c> restored,</c>

00:44:47.019 --> 00:44:48.840
and<00:44:47.239><c> then</c><00:44:47.420><c> their</c><00:44:47.659><c> enemies</c><00:44:47.940><c> are</c><00:44:48.219><c> destroyed.</c>

00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:52.260
That's<00:44:49.440><c> the</c><00:44:49.659><c> cycle</c><00:44:49.980><c> of</c><00:44:50.539><c> really</c><00:44:50.840><c> all</c><00:44:51.059><c> Bible</c><00:44:51.440><c> prophecy.</c>

00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:57.840
Consider<00:44:56.199><c> the</c><00:44:56.579><c> parallel</c><00:44:56.880><c> to</c><00:44:57.079><c> Israel</c><00:44:57.519><c> today,</c>

00:44:57.960 --> 00:45:00.599
making<00:44:58.380><c> alliances</c><00:44:58.980><c> with</c><00:44:59.300><c> their</c><00:44:59.500><c> Gentile</c><00:45:00.119><c> lovers.</c>

00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:03.639
Instead<00:45:01.360><c> of</c><00:45:01.619><c> repenting</c><00:45:02.139><c> and</c><00:45:02.239><c> turning</c><00:45:02.500><c> to</c><00:45:02.780><c> God.</c>

00:45:03.760 --> 00:45:04.920
That's<00:45:04.039><c> what</c><00:45:04.119><c> they're</c><00:45:04.320><c> doing</c><00:45:04.539><c> today.</c>

00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:09.619
It's<00:45:05.280><c> amazing</c><00:45:05.739><c> how</c><00:45:06.159><c> parallel</c><00:45:06.800><c> they</c><00:45:07.360><c> are</c><00:45:07.800><c> to</c><00:45:08.420><c> this</c><00:45:08.760><c> day.</c>

00:45:11.139 --> 00:45:13.000
You<00:45:11.400><c> know,</c><00:45:11.400><c> you</c><00:45:11.719><c> look</c><00:45:11.900><c> at</c><00:45:12.079><c> some</c><00:45:12.280><c> of</c><00:45:12.420><c> the</c><00:45:12.599><c> behavior</c>

00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:15.099
that<00:45:13.199><c> goes</c><00:45:13.380><c> on</c><00:45:13.679><c> in</c><00:45:13.960><c> Tel</c><00:45:14.219><c> Aviv.</c>

00:45:16.519 --> 00:45:20.400
You<00:45:17.119><c> look</c><00:45:17.340><c> at</c><00:45:17.539><c> their</c><00:45:17.980><c> fierce</c><00:45:18.340><c> opposition</c><00:45:19.000><c> really</c><00:45:19.420><c> to</c><00:45:19.659><c> Christianity.</c>

00:45:20.739 --> 00:45:23.239
They<00:45:21.019><c> kind</c><00:45:21.179><c> of</c><00:45:21.340><c> keep</c><00:45:21.500><c> a</c><00:45:21.679><c> lid</c><00:45:21.780><c> on</c><00:45:22.059><c> it,</c>

00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:29.280
but<00:45:24.920><c> they're</c><00:45:25.519><c> not</c><00:45:25.800><c> kind</c><00:45:26.440><c> to</c><00:45:26.719><c> fellow</c><00:45:26.980><c> Jews</c><00:45:27.460><c> who</c><00:45:28.179><c> become</c><00:45:28.480><c> Christians.</c>

00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:31.599
Rather<00:45:31.000><c> unpopular.</c>

00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:33.679
I'm<00:45:31.940><c> not</c><00:45:32.119><c> going</c><00:45:32.260><c> to</c><00:45:32.380><c> take</c><00:45:32.519><c> time</c><00:45:32.739><c> to</c><00:45:32.960><c> talk</c><00:45:33.119><c> about</c><00:45:33.320><c> that</c><00:45:33.519><c> much</c>

00:45:33.679 --> 00:45:34.139
right<00:45:33.940><c> now,</c>

00:45:34.139 --> 00:45:36.039
but<00:45:34.539><c> it's</c><00:45:35.159><c> true.</c>

00:45:36.119 --> 00:45:38.960
And<00:45:36.559><c> they're</c><00:45:36.719><c> doing</c><00:45:36.960><c> the</c><00:45:37.260><c> same</c><00:45:37.539><c> thing</c><00:45:37.800><c> that</c><00:45:38.000><c> their</c><00:45:38.320><c> ancestors</c><00:45:38.719><c> did.</c>

00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:41.920
They're<00:45:39.239><c> making</c><00:45:39.519><c> their</c><00:45:40.500><c> alliance</c><00:45:41.000><c> with</c><00:45:41.199><c> Gentile</c><00:45:41.699><c> lovers,</c>

00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:44.519
especially<00:45:42.599><c> with</c><00:45:42.880><c> the</c><00:45:43.000><c> United</c><00:45:43.360><c> States.</c>

00:45:44.920 --> 00:45:47.000
I<00:45:45.079><c> mean,</c><00:45:45.179><c> they're</c><00:45:45.440><c> really</c><00:45:45.780><c> counting</c><00:45:46.039><c> on</c><00:45:46.260><c> the</c><00:45:46.460><c> United</c><00:45:46.719><c> States</c>

00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:48.820
for<00:45:47.199><c> military</c><00:45:47.739><c> support.</c>

00:45:49.219 --> 00:45:52.659
And<00:45:49.739><c> I</c><00:45:50.000><c> just</c><00:45:50.340><c> can't</c><00:45:50.559><c> help</c><00:45:50.820><c> but</c><00:45:51.019><c> think</c><00:45:51.139><c> the</c><00:45:51.400><c> day</c><00:45:51.579><c> is</c><00:45:51.760><c> going</c><00:45:51.900><c> to</c><00:45:52.179><c> come</c>

00:45:52.659 --> 00:45:56.800
when<00:45:53.320><c> God</c><00:45:53.599><c> is</c><00:45:53.840><c> going</c><00:45:53.980><c> to</c><00:45:54.360><c> turn</c><00:45:54.900><c> their</c><00:45:55.559><c> lovers</c><00:45:56.000><c> against</c><00:45:56.579><c> them,</c>

00:45:56.800 --> 00:45:58.420
not<00:45:57.079><c> just</c><00:45:57.320><c> the</c><00:45:57.519><c> ones</c><00:45:57.699><c> they</c><00:45:58.079><c> hate,</c>

00:45:58.420 --> 00:46:00.699
but<00:45:59.019><c> the</c><00:45:59.219><c> ones</c><00:45:59.440><c> they</c><00:45:59.800><c> love.</c>

00:46:00.860 --> 00:46:02.300
The<00:46:01.420><c> friends</c><00:46:01.780><c> of</c><00:46:02.039><c> theirs.</c>

00:46:02.380 --> 00:46:04.599
God<00:46:02.619><c> is</c><00:46:02.820><c> going</c><00:46:02.980><c> to</c><00:46:03.219><c> turn</c><00:46:03.420><c> against</c><00:46:03.840><c> them.</c>

00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:07.280
So<00:46:05.179><c> that's</c><00:46:05.460><c> what</c><00:46:05.579><c> I</c><00:46:05.900><c> see</c><00:46:06.139><c> as</c><00:46:06.340><c> the</c><00:46:06.599><c> important</c><00:46:06.900><c> lesson</c>

00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:09.420
coming<00:46:07.599><c> out</c><00:46:07.940><c> of</c><00:46:08.219><c> Ezekiel</c><00:46:08.659><c> chapter</c><00:46:09.119><c> one.</c>

00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:14.039
We<00:46:09.840><c> need</c><00:46:10.099><c> to</c><00:46:10.400><c> understand</c><00:46:10.960><c> that</c><00:46:11.940><c> God</c><00:46:12.420><c> is</c><00:46:12.719><c> in</c><00:46:12.880><c> control</c><00:46:13.239><c> of</c><00:46:13.420><c> these</c><00:46:13.639><c> nations,</c>

00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:16.219
and<00:46:14.239><c> he</c><00:46:14.280><c> can</c><00:46:14.480><c> move</c><00:46:14.719><c> them</c><00:46:15.039><c> for</c><00:46:15.340><c> or</c><00:46:15.559><c> he</c><00:46:15.579><c> can</c><00:46:15.760><c> move</c><00:46:16.000><c> them</c>

00:46:16.219 --> 00:46:18.300
against<00:46:16.619><c> the</c><00:46:16.860><c> people</c><00:46:17.099><c> of</c><00:46:17.280><c> Israel.</c>

00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:21.820
And<00:46:19.679><c> so</c><00:46:19.920><c> we</c><00:46:20.280><c> shouldn't</c><00:46:20.579><c> just</c><00:46:21.039><c> look</c><00:46:21.360><c> at</c><00:46:21.559><c> events</c>

00:46:21.820 --> 00:46:25.059
and<00:46:22.380><c> talk</c><00:46:22.760><c> about</c><00:46:23.000><c> all</c><00:46:23.199><c> the</c><00:46:23.440><c> politics</c><00:46:24.039><c> behind</c><00:46:24.599><c> it,</c>

00:46:25.059 --> 00:46:28.460
the<00:46:25.800><c> good</c><00:46:26.039><c> policies</c><00:46:26.659><c> or</c><00:46:26.880><c> the</c><00:46:27.039><c> bad</c><00:46:27.280><c> policies.</c>

00:46:29.179 --> 00:46:30.559
This<00:46:29.559><c> is</c><00:46:29.900><c> God</c><00:46:30.099><c> at</c><00:46:30.360><c> work.</c>

00:46:30.860 --> 00:46:34.420
God<00:46:31.260><c> is</c><00:46:31.539><c> moving</c><00:46:31.860><c> these</c><00:46:32.280><c> nations</c><00:46:32.920><c> against</c><00:46:34.039><c> Israel.</c>

00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:38.199
So<00:46:34.940><c> when</c><00:46:35.239><c> we're</c><00:46:35.519><c> seeing</c><00:46:35.760><c> the</c><00:46:36.039><c> missiles</c><00:46:36.300><c> landing</c><00:46:36.980><c> on</c><00:46:37.679><c> Israel,</c>

00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:39.820
that's<00:46:39.000><c> God</c><00:46:39.340><c> doing</c><00:46:39.659><c> it.</c>

00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:42.380
The<00:46:40.000><c> people</c><00:46:40.260><c> of</c><00:46:40.420><c> Israel</c><00:46:40.780><c> should</c><00:46:41.059><c> know</c><00:46:41.400><c> that.</c>

00:46:43.119 --> 00:46:49.659
I<00:46:43.380><c> was</c><00:46:43.619><c> watching</c><00:46:43.960><c> just</c><00:46:45.179><c> about</c><00:46:46.679><c> two</c><00:46:46.920><c> weeks</c><00:46:47.179><c> ago</c><00:46:47.639><c> the</c><00:46:48.139><c> BBC</c><00:46:48.659><c> on</c><00:46:49.079><c> TV,</c>

00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:53.099
and<00:46:50.539><c> one</c><00:46:50.820><c> of</c><00:46:50.960><c> their</c><00:46:51.159><c> reporters</c><00:46:51.639><c> went</c><00:46:51.900><c> into</c><00:46:52.159><c> a</c><00:46:52.440><c> bomb</c><00:46:52.699><c> shelter</c>

00:46:53.099 --> 00:46:53.840
in<00:46:53.340><c> Tel</c><00:46:53.619><c> Aviv</c>

00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:56.679
while<00:46:54.099><c> their</c><00:46:54.679><c> missiles</c><00:46:54.920><c> are</c><00:46:55.159><c> falling</c><00:46:55.400><c> on</c><00:46:55.679><c> Tel</c><00:46:55.940><c> Aviv,</c>

00:46:56.980 --> 00:47:00.940
and<00:46:57.400><c> there</c><00:46:57.679><c> was</c><00:46:58.000><c> this</c><00:46:59.000><c> drag</c><00:46:59.739><c> queen,</c>

00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:03.199
this<00:47:01.679><c> man</c><00:47:02.079><c> dressed</c><00:47:02.360><c> as</c><00:47:02.579><c> a</c><00:47:02.780><c> woman,</c>

00:47:03.679 --> 00:47:06.099
and<00:47:03.960><c> dancing</c><00:47:04.420><c> with</c><00:47:04.760><c> the</c><00:47:05.000><c> people</c><00:47:05.179><c> in</c><00:47:05.380><c> the</c><00:47:05.599><c> bomb</c><00:47:05.800><c> shelter,</c>

00:47:06.139 --> 00:47:08.519
and<00:47:06.260><c> they're</c><00:47:06.519><c> celebrating</c><00:47:07.019><c> with</c><00:47:07.320><c> this</c><00:47:07.599><c> person.</c>

00:47:08.539 --> 00:47:10.280
And<00:47:08.780><c> I'm</c><00:47:09.000><c> thinking</c><00:47:09.300><c> to</c><00:47:09.460><c> myself,</c>

00:47:10.360 --> 00:47:12.059
don't<00:47:10.739><c> you</c><00:47:10.980><c> people</c><00:47:11.360><c> understand</c>

00:47:12.059 --> 00:47:15.519
this<00:47:12.300><c> is</c><00:47:12.619><c> why</c><00:47:12.900><c> you're</c><00:47:13.119><c> in</c><00:47:13.219><c> a</c><00:47:13.420><c> bomb</c><00:47:13.639><c> shelter</c><00:47:13.960><c> being</c><00:47:14.320><c> bombed?</c>

00:47:15.539 --> 00:47:18.280
This<00:47:15.760><c> is</c><00:47:16.139><c> God</c><00:47:16.420><c> putting</c><00:47:16.800><c> pressure</c><00:47:17.360><c> on</c><00:47:17.639><c> you.</c>

00:47:18.559 --> 00:47:20.559
But<00:47:18.840><c> just</c><00:47:19.139><c> like</c><00:47:19.300><c> in</c><00:47:19.500><c> the</c><00:47:19.639><c> days</c><00:47:19.840><c> of</c><00:47:20.139><c> Ezekiel,</c>

00:47:20.579 --> 00:47:23.139
they<00:47:20.960><c> don't</c><00:47:21.340><c> want</c><00:47:21.500><c> to</c><00:47:21.659><c> know,</c><00:47:21.800><c> they</c><00:47:22.079><c> don't</c><00:47:22.380><c> want</c><00:47:22.579><c> to</c><00:47:22.699><c> listen.</c>

00:47:23.139 --> 00:47:25.679
And<00:47:23.679><c> God</c><00:47:23.980><c> will</c><00:47:24.260><c> keep</c><00:47:24.440><c> turning</c><00:47:24.760><c> up</c><00:47:25.019><c> the</c><00:47:25.219><c> heat</c>

00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:29.179
until<00:47:26.559><c> they</c><00:47:26.880><c> really</c><00:47:27.340><c> get</c><00:47:27.920><c> destroyed.</c>

00:47:29.420 --> 00:47:31.760
I<00:47:29.980><c> think</c><00:47:30.119><c> that's</c><00:47:30.360><c> what</c><00:47:30.480><c> they're</c><00:47:30.639><c> heading</c><00:47:30.900><c> for.</c>

00:47:32.179 --> 00:47:34.519
So<00:47:32.599><c> I</c><00:47:33.079><c> just</c><00:47:33.320><c> find</c><00:47:33.519><c> it</c><00:47:33.699><c> so</c><00:47:33.960><c> amazing</c>

00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:38.039
to<00:47:35.260><c> see</c><00:47:35.860><c> what</c><00:47:36.039><c> was</c><00:47:36.300><c> going</c><00:47:36.619><c> on</c><00:47:36.780><c> in</c><00:47:36.940><c> the</c><00:47:37.119><c> days</c><00:47:37.280><c> of</c><00:47:37.559><c> Ezekiel</c>

00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:41.960
and<00:47:38.480><c> see</c><00:47:38.739><c> how</c><00:47:39.260><c> parallel</c><00:47:39.739><c> it</c><00:47:39.880><c> is</c><00:47:40.500><c> to</c><00:47:40.920><c> today</c><00:47:41.260><c> in</c><00:47:41.500><c> Israel.</c>

00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:45.179
So<00:47:42.500><c> I</c><00:47:42.619><c> see</c><00:47:42.760><c> the</c><00:47:43.019><c> lesson</c><00:47:43.280><c> here</c><00:47:43.639><c> is</c><00:47:43.900><c> very</c><00:47:44.219><c> relevant.</c>

00:47:45.579 --> 00:47:48.059
And<00:47:45.960><c> as</c><00:47:46.159><c> far</c><00:47:46.300><c> as</c><00:47:46.440><c> we're</c><00:47:46.699><c> concerned</c><00:47:46.960><c> as</c><00:47:47.239><c> Christenalphians,</c>

00:47:48.360 --> 00:47:50.219
we<00:47:48.679><c> need</c><00:47:48.880><c> to</c><00:47:49.079><c> take</c><00:47:49.199><c> that</c><00:47:49.500><c> lesson</c><00:47:49.780><c> too.</c>

00:47:50.219 --> 00:47:53.480
We<00:47:50.880><c> don't</c><00:47:51.239><c> make</c><00:47:51.559><c> alliances</c><00:47:52.099><c> with</c><00:47:52.400><c> the</c><00:47:52.559><c> Gentile</c><00:47:53.099><c> nations.</c>

00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:56.019
We<00:47:53.920><c> don't</c><00:47:54.239><c> get</c><00:47:54.519><c> involved</c><00:47:54.980><c> with</c><00:47:55.179><c> the</c><00:47:55.539><c> politics</c>

00:47:56.019 --> 00:47:59.280
and<00:47:56.360><c> rallying</c><00:47:56.800><c> behind</c><00:47:57.039><c> this</c><00:47:57.320><c> candidate</c><00:47:57.760><c> or</c><00:47:57.920><c> that</c><00:47:58.239><c> candidate.</c>

00:47:59.300 --> 00:48:01.559
Those<00:47:59.639><c> are</c><00:47:59.860><c> the</c><00:47:59.980><c> kingdoms</c><00:48:00.380><c> of</c><00:48:00.760><c> men.</c>

00:48:01.619 --> 00:48:03.940
We<00:48:01.800><c> don't</c><00:48:02.059><c> make</c><00:48:02.320><c> them</c><00:48:02.619><c> our</c><00:48:02.960><c> lovers.</c>

00:48:04.079 --> 00:48:07.639
God<00:48:04.400><c> is</c><00:48:04.760><c> just</c><00:48:05.099><c> pleased</c><00:48:05.340><c> with</c><00:48:06.260><c> natural</c><00:48:06.679><c> Israel</c><00:48:07.079><c> doing</c><00:48:07.400><c> that.</c>

00:48:07.659 --> 00:48:10.659
He's<00:48:07.820><c> not</c><00:48:08.019><c> going</c><00:48:08.139><c> to</c><00:48:08.219><c> be</c><00:48:08.440><c> pleased</c><00:48:08.619><c> with</c><00:48:08.840><c> New</c><00:48:09.000><c> Israel</c><00:48:09.440><c> doing</c><00:48:09.780><c> that.</c>

00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:15.780
Our<00:48:13.219><c> Lord's</c><00:48:13.699><c> kingdom</c><00:48:13.940><c> is</c><00:48:14.239><c> not</c><00:48:14.420><c> of</c><00:48:14.579><c> this</c><00:48:14.900><c> world.</c>

00:48:15.900 --> 00:48:19.500
We<00:48:16.039><c> don't</c><00:48:16.219><c> belong</c><00:48:16.559><c> to</c><00:48:16.760><c> this</c><00:48:17.059><c> world,</c><00:48:17.539><c> the</c><00:48:17.860><c> political</c><00:48:18.440><c> world.</c>

00:48:19.660 --> 00:48:22.360
And<00:48:20.260><c> we</c><00:48:20.420><c> know</c><00:48:20.639><c> God</c><00:48:20.940><c> is</c><00:48:21.139><c> in</c><00:48:21.300><c> control</c><00:48:21.679><c> of</c><00:48:21.820><c> it.</c>

00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:24.960
He'll<00:48:22.699><c> move</c><00:48:22.900><c> the</c><00:48:23.139><c> nations</c><00:48:23.480><c> in</c><00:48:23.679><c> the</c><00:48:23.900><c> direction</c><00:48:24.199><c> that</c><00:48:24.400><c> he</c><00:48:24.619><c> wants.</c>

00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:27.539
I<00:48:25.940><c> think</c><00:48:26.139><c> that's</c><00:48:26.480><c> especially</c><00:48:26.860><c> important</c><00:48:27.320><c> now</c>

00:48:27.539 --> 00:48:30.539
because<00:48:27.960><c> the</c><00:48:28.440><c> world</c><00:48:28.780><c> is</c><00:48:29.079><c> changing</c><00:48:29.480><c> fast.</c>

00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:34.000
We're<00:48:31.019><c> watching</c><00:48:31.360><c> the</c><00:48:31.659><c> world</c><00:48:31.940><c> order</c><00:48:32.300><c> changing</c><00:48:32.840><c> fast.</c>

00:48:34.539 --> 00:48:37.019
And<00:48:34.739><c> there's</c><00:48:35.000><c> all</c><00:48:35.219><c> kinds</c><00:48:35.380><c> of</c><00:48:35.760><c> commentary</c><00:48:36.219><c> going</c><00:48:36.599><c> on,</c>

00:48:37.019 --> 00:48:39.780
and<00:48:37.239><c> people</c><00:48:37.460><c> are</c><00:48:37.699><c> wondering</c><00:48:37.960><c> what's</c><00:48:38.539><c> going</c><00:48:38.820><c> on.</c>

00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:43.340
You<00:48:40.239><c> can</c><00:48:40.400><c> just</c><00:48:40.599><c> see</c><00:48:40.780><c> it</c><00:48:40.900><c> in</c><00:48:41.000><c> the</c><00:48:41.219><c> newscasters</c>

00:48:43.460 --> 00:48:46.179
struggling<00:48:44.059><c> with</c><00:48:44.380><c> the</c><00:48:44.579><c> rapid</c><00:48:44.940><c> changes</c><00:48:45.320><c> that</c><00:48:45.500><c> are</c><00:48:45.619><c> going</c><00:48:45.920><c> on.</c>

00:48:46.500 --> 00:48:48.800
We<00:48:46.840><c> as</c><00:48:47.179><c> believers</c><00:48:47.599><c> need</c><00:48:47.880><c> to</c><00:48:48.159><c> look</c><00:48:48.320><c> at</c><00:48:48.579><c> that</c>

00:48:52.579 --> 00:48:55.260
God<00:48:52.940><c> is</c><00:48:53.219><c> rapidly</c><00:48:53.760><c> changing</c><00:48:54.300><c> the</c><00:48:54.599><c> world</c><00:48:54.840><c> order.</c>

00:48:55.619 --> 00:48:58.300

00:49:00.460 --> 00:49:03.239
There<00:49:00.559><c> was</c><00:49:00.760><c> one</c><00:49:01.159><c> commentator</c><00:49:01.980><c> who</c><00:49:02.360><c> said,</c>

00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:07.940
who<00:49:05.460><c> said,</c><00:49:06.019><c> by</c><00:49:06.219><c> accident</c><00:49:06.820><c> of</c><00:49:07.320><c> geography,</c>

There's<00:49:10.300><c> no</c><00:49:10.599><c> accident.</c><00:49:12.159><c> God</c><00:49:12.659><c> made</c><00:49:13.059><c> that.</c>

00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:23.260
Whoever<00:49:21.880><c> could</c><00:49:22.119><c> have</c><00:49:22.280><c> predicted</c><00:49:22.659><c> that,</c>
