00:02:20.900 --> 00:02:25.099
And<00:02:21.240><c> he</c><00:02:21.419><c> sent</c><00:02:21.680><c> those</c><00:02:22.120><c> angels</c><00:02:22.479><c> to</c><00:02:22.879><c> tell</c><00:02:23.419><c> Abraham</c><00:02:24.039><c> what</c><00:02:24.580><c> he</c><00:02:24.819><c> was</c>

00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.819
The<00:02:44.800><c> Lord</c><00:02:45.000><c> should</c><00:02:45.219><c> pick</c><00:02:45.400><c> that</c><00:02:45.620><c> up</c><00:02:45.939><c> from</c><00:02:46.199><c> the</c><00:02:46.360><c> life</c><00:02:46.500><c> of</c><00:02:46.680><c> this</c>

Well,<00:12:25.779><c> the</c><00:12:25.899><c> reason</c><00:12:26.159><c> is</c><00:12:26.460><c> this,</c><00:12:28.919><c> that</c><00:12:29.059><c> in</c><00:12:29.379><c> Hebrews</c><00:12:29.700><c> 11,</c><00:12:31.740><c> it</c><00:12:31.860><c> says,</c><00:12:32.620><c> therefore</c><00:12:32.620><c> he</c>

00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:21.559
He<00:25:20.079><c> said,</c><00:25:20.259><c> salvation</c><00:25:20.880><c> to</c><00:25:21.079><c> the</c><00:25:21.279><c> Jews.</c>

Isn't<00:25:24.740><c> that</c><00:25:24.980><c> incredible?</c>

00:25:26.420 --> 00:25:28.319
And<00:25:26.519><c> you</c><00:25:26.599><c> know,</c><00:25:26.859><c> brothers</c><00:25:27.000><c> and</c><00:25:27.240><c> sisters,</c>

00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:38.000
When<00:25:36.660><c> Jotham,</c><00:25:37.299><c> the</c><00:25:37.420><c> son</c><00:25:37.559><c> of</c><00:25:37.740><c> Gideon,</c>

00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:47.420
if<00:25:44.460><c> you</c><00:25:44.759><c> have</c><00:25:45.019><c> done</c><00:25:45.299><c> truly</c><00:25:45.799><c> and</c><00:25:46.359><c> sincerely.</c>

00:25:48.740 --> 00:25:51.079
And<00:25:48.920><c> right</c><00:25:49.279><c> there</c><00:25:49.599><c> Jesus</c><00:25:49.920><c> said</c><00:25:50.119><c> to</c><00:25:50.240><c> the</c><00:25:50.279><c> woman</c><00:25:50.519><c> of</c><00:25:50.720><c> Samaria,</c>

00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:59.339
And<00:25:56.680><c> so</c><00:25:56.819><c> there</c><00:25:56.960><c> was</c><00:25:57.180><c> a</c><00:25:57.579><c> monumental</c><00:25:58.200><c> principle</c><00:25:58.740><c> established</c>

00:25:59.339 --> 00:26:01.299

You've<00:26:13.299><c> got</c><00:26:13.359><c> to</c><00:26:13.440><c> do</c><00:26:13.539><c> it</c><00:26:13.759><c> sincerely</c><00:26:14.200><c> and</c><00:26:14.700><c> truly.</c>

00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:17.640
And<00:26:16.119><c> so</c><00:26:16.259><c> Abraham</c><00:26:16.559><c> made</c><00:26:16.799><c> up</c><00:26:16.980><c> his</c><00:26:17.180><c> mind,</c><00:26:17.539><c> didn't</c><00:26:17.579><c> he?</c>

00:26:36.579 --> 00:26:39.000
And<00:26:36.779><c> so</c><00:26:36.940><c> that's</c><00:26:37.380><c> what</c><00:26:37.700><c> Shechem</c><00:26:38.160><c> stood</c><00:26:38.539><c> for.</c>

And<00:31:32.740><c> it's</c><00:31:32.859><c> not</c><00:31:33.059><c> until</c><00:31:33.279><c> he</c><00:31:33.460><c> came</c><00:31:33.740><c> to</c><00:31:34.519><c> Bethel,</c>

00:31:35.420 --> 00:31:38.900
the<00:31:35.779><c> house</c><00:31:36.099><c> of</c><00:31:36.680><c> God</c><00:31:37.160><c> that</c><00:31:37.720><c> we</c><00:31:37.900><c> have</c><00:31:38.099><c> first</c><00:31:38.460><c> mentioned,</c>

00:31:39.019 --> 00:31:40.420
of<00:31:39.220><c> his</c><00:31:39.539><c> tent.</c>

00:31:41.259 --> 00:31:43.740
Now,<00:31:41.440><c> that's</c><00:31:41.779><c> not</c><00:31:42.099><c> just</c><00:31:42.680><c> done</c><00:31:42.980><c> coincidentally,</c>

00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:45.539
brothers<00:31:43.980><c> and</c><00:31:44.240><c> sisters,</c><00:31:44.420><c> that's</c><00:31:44.759><c> to</c><00:31:44.960><c> tell</c><00:31:45.099><c> us</c>

00:31:45.539 --> 00:31:47.319
that<00:31:45.740><c> this</c><00:31:45.980><c> was</c><00:31:46.200><c> the</c><00:31:46.460><c> spirit</c><00:31:46.660><c> of</c><00:31:46.839><c> that</c><00:31:47.059><c> man.</c>

00:31:47.579 --> 00:31:51.039
So<00:31:47.740><c> having</c><00:31:47.940><c> made</c><00:31:48.220><c> his</c><00:31:48.500><c> decision</c><00:31:49.180><c> up</c><00:31:49.799><c> there</c><00:31:49.980><c> in</c><00:31:50.240><c> Shechem,</c>

00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:53.200
he<00:31:51.259><c> decided</c><00:31:51.779><c> that</c><00:31:52.000><c> he'd</c><00:31:52.160><c> live</c><00:31:52.380><c> as</c><00:31:52.680><c> a</c><00:31:52.859><c> pilgrim.</c>

00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:57.900
And<00:31:53.460><c> the</c><00:31:53.960><c> first</c><00:31:54.740><c> mention</c><00:31:55.160><c> of</c><00:31:55.420><c> that</c><00:31:55.619><c> is</c><00:31:55.799><c> in</c><00:31:56.000><c> the</c><00:31:56.259><c> house</c><00:31:56.559><c> of</c><00:31:57.039><c> God.</c>

00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:00.279
And<00:31:58.259><c> that's</c><00:31:58.599><c> really</c><00:31:59.099><c> interesting.</c>

00:32:01.099 --> 00:32:03.500
But<00:32:01.240><c> he</c><00:32:01.359><c> went</c><00:32:01.500><c> on</c><00:32:01.799><c> journeying,</c><00:32:02.259><c> we</c><00:32:02.420><c> read,</c><00:32:02.740><c> in</c><00:32:02.880><c> verse</c><00:32:03.099><c> 9,</c>

00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:07.640

00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:11.420
So<00:32:09.519><c> he</c><00:32:09.680><c> had</c><00:32:09.900><c> departed</c><00:32:10.299><c> out</c><00:32:10.559><c> of</c><00:32:10.700><c> Erechol</c><00:32:11.140><c> Des,</c>

00:32:11.420 --> 00:32:14.380

00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:17.619
he'd<00:32:14.619><c> come</c><00:32:14.759><c> into</c><00:32:14.880><c> the</c><00:32:15.140><c> land,</c><00:32:15.640><c> and</c><00:32:15.779><c> he's</c><00:32:15.980><c> journeying</c><00:32:16.559><c> ever</c><00:32:16.980><c> southward</c>

00:32:17.619 --> 00:32:20.200
until<00:32:17.940><c> he</c><00:32:18.119><c> comes</c><00:32:18.400><c> towards</c><00:32:18.880><c> the</c><00:32:19.299><c> south.</c>

00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:22.359
And<00:32:20.599><c> the</c><00:32:20.759><c> Hebrew</c><00:32:20.960><c> word</c><00:32:21.140><c> for</c><00:32:21.420><c> south</c><00:32:21.619><c> is</c><00:32:21.880><c> neger,</c>

00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:27.779
And<00:32:26.079><c> there's</c><00:32:26.339><c> trials</c><00:32:26.680><c> ahead,</c><00:32:27.200><c> brothers</c><00:32:27.259><c> and</c><00:32:27.500><c> sisters,</c>

00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:33.680
We<00:32:31.200><c> read</c><00:32:31.440><c> in</c><00:32:31.619><c> verse</c><00:32:31.839><c> 10,</c><00:32:32.099><c> and</c><00:32:32.240><c> it</c><00:32:32.359><c> came</c><00:32:32.539><c> to</c><00:32:32.779><c> pass,</c>

00:40:41.380 --> 00:40:42.360
Unbelievable.
