Christ<00:11:41.980><c> and</c><00:11:42.139><c> his</c><00:11:42.299><c> Ecclesia</c><00:11:42.659><c> will</c><00:11:42.860><c> be</c><00:11:43.100><c> productive</c>

00:11:54.059 --> 00:11:57.279
I<00:11:54.720><c> have</c><00:11:55.379><c> to</c><00:11:55.539><c> be</c><00:11:55.659><c> very</c><00:11:56.100><c> careful,</c><00:11:56.639><c> brethren</c><00:11:56.779><c> and</c><00:11:57.059><c> sisters,</c>

00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:58.919
of<00:11:57.279><c> what</c><00:11:57.440><c> I</c><00:11:57.840><c> say</c><00:11:58.080><c> at</c><00:11:58.360><c> this</c><00:11:58.620><c> point.</c>

00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.559
I'm<00:11:59.440><c> very</c><00:11:59.759><c> anxious</c><00:12:00.139><c> that</c><00:12:00.340><c> I</c><00:12:00.500><c> should</c><00:12:00.720><c> not</c><00:12:00.899><c> be</c><00:12:01.139><c> misunderstood.</c>

00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:10.340
But<00:12:04.940><c> it</c><00:12:05.139><c> does</c><00:12:05.340><c> seem</c><00:12:05.580><c> to</c><00:12:05.740><c> me</c><00:12:06.039><c> that</c><00:12:07.320><c> God,</c><00:12:07.679><c> in</c><00:12:07.840><c> his</c><00:12:08.159><c> foreknowledge,</c>

00:12:16.059 --> 00:12:19.899

Now,<00:12:25.360><c> please,</c><00:12:25.799><c> I'm</c><00:12:26.019><c> not</c><00:12:26.299><c> by</c><00:12:26.539><c> any</c><00:12:26.799><c> means</c><00:12:27.200><c> suggesting</c>

00:12:31.500 --> 00:12:33.720
That,<00:12:31.879><c> of</c><00:12:31.980><c> course,</c><00:12:32.399><c> is</c><00:12:32.639><c> wrong.</c>

00:12:33.940 --> 00:12:36.559
Absolutely<00:12:34.580><c> and</c><00:12:34.700><c> utterly</c><00:12:34.960><c> wrong,</c><00:12:35.440><c> isn't</c><00:12:35.620><c> it?</c>

00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.779
There<00:12:37.559><c> is</c><00:12:38.179><c> no</c><00:12:38.360><c> way</c><00:12:38.580><c> that</c><00:12:38.840><c> God</c><00:12:39.279><c> planned</c><00:12:39.960><c> the</c><00:12:40.379><c> fall.</c>

00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.220
It<00:12:41.299><c> wasn't</c><00:12:41.679><c> his</c><00:12:42.139><c> failure.</c>

00:12:43.580 --> 00:12:46.899
It<00:12:43.759><c> was</c><00:12:44.120><c> man's</c><00:12:44.740><c> failure,</c><00:12:45.460><c> entirely</c><00:12:45.980><c> man's</c><00:12:46.559><c> failure.</c>

00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:49.759
I<00:12:47.379><c> don't</c><00:12:47.600><c> want</c><00:12:47.740><c> anyone,</c><00:12:48.059><c> please,</c><00:12:48.460><c> to</c><00:12:48.600><c> think</c><00:12:48.740><c> that</c><00:12:48.899><c> I'm</c><00:12:49.159><c> suggesting</c>

00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:53.320
that<00:12:50.039><c> God</c><00:12:50.639><c> in</c><00:12:50.820><c> any</c><00:12:51.120><c> way</c><00:12:51.379><c> engineered</c><00:12:51.860><c> the</c><00:12:52.200><c> fall</c><00:12:52.320><c> or</c><00:12:52.840><c> planned</c>

00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:59.799
That<00:12:57.679><c> would</c><00:12:57.899><c> certainly</c><00:12:58.200><c> not</c><00:12:58.440><c> be</c><00:12:58.600><c> the</c><00:12:58.759><c> case.</c>

00:13:01.179 --> 00:13:04.460
But<00:13:01.379><c> God</c><00:13:01.559><c> was</c><00:13:01.779><c> not</c><00:13:01.960><c> unaware</c><00:13:02.659><c> of</c><00:13:03.340><c> the</c><00:13:03.580><c> fall.</c>

00:13:04.539 --> 00:13:07.299
The<00:13:04.679><c> failure</c><00:13:04.940><c> of</c><00:13:05.139><c> man</c><00:13:05.279><c> didn't</c><00:13:05.580><c> take</c><00:13:05.919><c> God</c><00:13:06.179><c> by</c><00:13:06.539><c> surprise,</c>

00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:08.340
did<00:13:07.580><c> it,</c><00:13:07.799><c> brethren</c><00:13:07.980><c> and</c><00:13:08.179><c> sisters?</c>

00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.200
He<00:13:08.679><c> didn't</c><00:13:09.100><c> suddenly</c><00:13:09.600><c> have</c><00:13:09.879><c> to</c><00:13:10.059><c> think</c><00:13:10.179><c> of</c><00:13:10.340><c> a</c><00:13:10.480><c> salvation</c><00:13:10.919><c> plan</c>

00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:12.919
and<00:13:11.440><c> swing</c><00:13:11.639><c> into</c><00:13:11.899><c> operation</c><00:13:12.399><c> with</c><00:13:12.620><c> it.</c>

00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.299
God<00:13:13.759><c> in</c><00:13:13.919><c> his</c><00:13:14.179><c> foreknowledge</c><00:13:14.940><c> knew</c><00:13:15.539><c> exactly</c>

00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.500
what<00:13:16.879><c> Adam</c><00:13:17.139><c> and</c><00:13:17.299><c> Eve</c><00:13:17.399><c> would</c><00:13:17.639><c> do.</c>

00:13:18.500 --> 00:13:22.600
And<00:13:19.659><c> he'd</c><00:13:20.120><c> already</c><00:13:20.600><c> taken</c><00:13:20.919><c> that</c><00:13:21.200><c> on</c><00:13:21.500><c> board.</c>

00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.879
And<00:13:23.879><c> there</c><00:13:24.019><c> is</c><00:13:24.259><c> therefore</c><00:13:24.600><c> perhaps</c><00:13:25.039><c> a</c><00:13:25.299><c> way</c><00:13:25.740><c> in</c><00:13:26.039><c> which</c>

00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.419
let<00:13:27.659><c> us</c><00:13:28.000><c> make</c><00:13:28.299><c> man</c><00:13:28.639><c> in</c><00:13:28.919><c> our</c><00:13:29.120><c> image</c><00:13:29.679><c> was</c><00:13:30.179><c> fulfilled</c>

00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.220
by<00:13:32.860><c> the</c><00:13:33.120><c> creation</c><00:13:33.559><c> of</c><00:13:33.860><c> Adam</c>

00:13:34.220 --> 00:13:38.860
in<00:13:35.340><c> a</c><00:13:35.740><c> physical</c><00:13:36.379><c> and</c><00:13:37.059><c> a</c><00:13:37.240><c> mental</c><00:13:37.620><c> way.</c>

00:13:39.179 --> 00:13:42.059
Man<00:13:39.399><c> was</c><00:13:39.659><c> a</c><00:13:39.980><c> physical</c><00:13:40.379><c> and</c><00:13:40.639><c> a</c><00:13:40.879><c> mental</c><00:13:41.019><c> creature.</c>

00:13:44.220 --> 00:13:47.679
But<00:13:44.519><c> there</c><00:13:44.879><c> is</c><00:13:45.340><c> perhaps</c><00:13:45.860><c> also</c><00:13:46.580><c> in</c><00:13:46.879><c> those</c><00:13:47.179><c> words</c>

00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:49.980

00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:53.840
and<00:13:50.340><c> after</c><00:13:50.740><c> our</c><00:13:51.080><c> likeness</c><00:13:51.879><c> something</c><00:13:52.500><c> prophetic.</c>

00:13:54.659 --> 00:13:58.799
Again,<00:13:55.360><c> of</c><00:13:55.419><c> the</c><00:13:55.600><c> making,</c><00:13:56.399><c> the</c><00:13:56.539><c> creation</c><00:13:57.039><c> of</c><00:13:57.720><c> the</c><00:13:58.039><c> man</c>

00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.139
and<00:13:59.639><c> his</c><00:13:59.940><c> bride.</c>

00:14:01.580 --> 00:14:03.740
Not<00:14:01.899><c> now</c><00:14:02.179><c> a</c><00:14:02.360><c> physical</c><00:14:02.860><c> mental</c><00:14:03.320><c> creature,</c>

00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.279

00:14:08.259 --> 00:14:10.940
And<00:14:08.460><c> surely</c><00:14:08.679><c> the</c><00:14:08.899><c> purpose</c><00:14:09.240><c> of</c><00:14:09.519><c> God</c><00:14:09.679><c> always</c><00:14:10.100><c> intended</c>

00:14:10.940 --> 00:14:16.240
that<00:14:11.940><c> image</c><00:14:12.320><c> of</c><00:14:12.559><c> himself,</c><00:14:13.519><c> the</c><00:14:13.980><c> moral,</c><00:14:15.080><c> the</c><00:14:15.559><c> spiritual,</c>

00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:20.419
which<00:14:17.179><c> because</c><00:14:17.740><c> of</c><00:14:18.039><c> Adam's</c><00:14:18.639><c> sin</c><00:14:18.779><c> would</c><00:14:19.120><c> have</c><00:14:19.480><c> to</c><00:14:19.840><c> be</c>

00:14:20.419 --> 00:14:23.620
a<00:14:20.879><c> two</c><00:14:21.259><c>-stage</c><00:14:22.039><c> process.</c>

00:14:24.539 --> 00:14:27.559
In<00:14:24.720><c> his</c><00:14:25.019><c> foreknowledge,</c><00:14:26.019><c> God</c><00:14:26.059><c> knew</c><00:14:26.480><c> all</c><00:14:26.980><c> about</c><00:14:27.320><c> it,</c>

00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:29.159
brethren<00:14:27.820><c> and</c><00:14:28.059><c> sisters.</c>

00:14:29.539 --> 00:14:33.720
But<00:14:30.080><c> it</c><00:14:31.240><c> had</c><00:14:31.580><c> to</c><00:14:31.899><c> wait</c><00:14:32.059><c> its</c><00:14:32.500><c> time.</c>

00:14:35.980 --> 00:14:40.980
And<00:14:36.379><c> it</c><00:14:36.620><c> seems</c><00:14:37.179><c> that</c><00:14:37.899><c> because</c><00:14:38.440><c> of</c><00:14:38.720><c> the</c><00:14:39.039><c> failure</c><00:14:39.460><c> of</c><00:14:39.820><c> man,</c>

And<00:20:20.420><c> Noah</c><00:20:20.599><c> began</c><00:20:20.900><c> to</c><00:20:21.059><c> be</c><00:20:21.160><c> a</c><00:20:21.299><c> husband</c>

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:27.640
And<00:21:25.460><c> they</c><00:21:25.640><c> walk</c><00:21:25.839><c> backwards</c><00:21:26.339><c> and</c><00:21:26.720><c> cover</c><00:21:27.019><c> their</c><00:21:27.359><c> father</c>

00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:32.240
Now<00:21:30.759><c> those</c><00:21:30.960><c> are</c><00:21:31.180><c> remarkable</c><00:21:31.660><c> things,</c><00:21:31.980><c> aren't</c><00:21:32.160><c> they?</c>

00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:33.920
They're<00:21:32.460><c> not</c><00:21:32.720><c> there</c><00:21:32.900><c> by</c><00:21:33.200><c> coincidence.</c>

00:21:34.259 --> 00:21:35.660
One<00:21:34.519><c> of</c><00:21:34.720><c> them</c><00:21:34.839><c> we</c><00:21:34.960><c> might</c><00:21:35.180><c> have</c><00:21:35.359><c> allowed,</c>

That<00:21:58.339><c> his</c><00:21:58.740><c> failure</c><00:21:59.440><c> was</c><00:22:00.180><c> a</c><00:22:00.460><c> failure</c><00:22:00.759><c> which,</c>

00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:04.099

00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:06.599
It's<00:22:05.240><c> been</c><00:22:05.500><c> repeated,</c><00:22:06.039><c> brethren</c><00:22:06.160><c> and</c><00:22:06.420><c> sisters,</c>

00:22:15.859 --> 00:22:19.819
Every<00:22:16.259><c> one</c><00:22:16.519><c> of</c><00:22:16.720><c> us</c><00:22:17.200><c> is</c><00:22:17.700><c> a</c><00:22:17.980><c> sinner</c><00:22:18.200><c> before</c><00:22:18.619><c> God.</c>

00:22:20.859 --> 00:22:22.740
And<00:22:21.099><c> surely</c><00:22:21.279><c> that's</c><00:22:21.660><c> the</c><00:22:21.839><c> reason,</c><00:22:22.200><c> therefore,</c>

00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:18.519
It's<00:26:16.160><c> the</c><00:26:16.319><c> idea</c><00:26:16.700><c> of</c><00:26:16.960><c> God</c><00:26:17.240><c> ceasing</c><00:26:17.660><c> from</c><00:26:17.920><c> His</c><00:26:18.119><c> labors</c>

Genesis<00:26:46.200><c> chapter</c><00:26:46.599><c> 2</c><00:26:47.079><c> presents</c><00:26:47.480><c> us</c><00:26:47.640><c> with</c><00:26:47.779><c> a</c><00:26:47.960><c> problem</c>

00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:55.619
And<00:26:52.480><c> God</c><00:26:53.339><c> rested</c><00:26:53.980><c> the</c><00:26:54.299><c> seventh</c><00:26:54.539><c> day,</c>

00:26:56.140 --> 00:26:58.539

00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:00.559

00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:04.759
It<00:27:04.119><c> says</c><00:27:04.400><c> that,</c>

00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:28.079

the<00:28:09.460><c> Elohim</c><00:28:09.839><c> were</c><00:28:10.140><c> involved</c><00:28:10.579><c> in</c><00:28:10.859><c> creation,</c>

00:28:11.700 --> 00:28:13.700
and<00:28:11.799><c> the</c><00:28:12.099><c> angels</c><00:28:12.579><c> have</c><00:28:13.000><c> limitations,</c>

00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:15.579
and<00:28:14.220><c> perhaps</c><00:28:14.599><c> they</c><00:28:14.900><c> were</c><00:28:15.259><c> tired.</c>

00:28:15.660 --> 00:28:17.099
Perhaps<00:28:15.980><c> they</c><00:28:16.240><c> needed</c><00:28:16.519><c> a</c><00:28:16.759><c> rest.</c>

00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.420
We<00:28:17.619><c> know</c><00:28:17.900><c> that</c><00:28:18.140><c> angels</c><00:28:18.500><c> are</c><00:28:18.799><c> limited</c>

00:28:19.420 --> 00:28:22.900
in<00:28:20.019><c> their</c><00:28:20.319><c> power,</c><00:28:20.799><c> their</c><00:28:21.000><c> strength,</c><00:28:21.539><c> their</c><00:28:21.720><c> abilities.</c>

00:28:24.579 --> 00:28:25.940
Well,<00:28:24.759><c> that</c><00:28:24.920><c> is</c><00:28:25.140><c> so,</c><00:28:25.460><c> brethren</c><00:28:25.599><c> and</c><00:28:25.779><c> sisters,</c>

00:28:25.980 --> 00:28:27.259
but<00:28:26.099><c> it</c><00:28:26.259><c> really</c><00:28:26.500><c> won't</c><00:28:26.779><c> do.</c>

00:28:27.619 --> 00:28:28.920
Again,<00:28:27.900><c> you</c><00:28:28.019><c> needn't</c><00:28:28.339><c> turn</c><00:28:28.480><c> to</c><00:28:28.619><c> it</c><00:28:28.720><c> now.</c>

00:28:28.940 --> 00:28:30.779
We<00:28:29.079><c> shall</c><00:28:29.259><c> have</c><00:28:29.440><c> occasion</c><00:28:29.740><c> to</c><00:28:29.859><c> look</c><00:28:30.000><c> at</c><00:28:30.099><c> it</c><00:28:30.200><c> later</c><00:28:30.440><c> in</c><00:28:30.579><c> the</c><00:28:30.680><c> week,</c>

00:28:30.779 --> 00:28:31.240
God<00:28:31.019><c> willing.</c>

00:28:31.579 --> 00:28:34.200
But<00:28:31.799><c> Exodus</c><00:28:32.039><c> 31</c><00:28:32.619><c> and</c><00:28:32.819><c> 17</c><00:28:33.480><c> says</c><00:28:33.819><c> this.</c>

00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:35.980
The<00:28:34.799><c> Sabbath</c><00:28:35.140><c> is</c><00:28:35.359><c> a</c><00:28:35.640><c> sign</c>

00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:40.539
for<00:28:38.319><c> in</c><00:28:38.559><c> six</c><00:28:38.779><c> days</c><00:28:39.200><c> the</c><00:28:39.799><c> Lord,</c>

00:28:49.099 --> 00:28:51.619

00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:53.380
So<00:28:52.440><c> it</c><00:28:52.519><c> won't</c><00:28:52.720><c> do</c><00:28:52.880><c> to</c><00:28:53.099><c> say,</c>

00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:55.720

The<00:28:56.180><c> Elohim</c><00:28:56.700><c> required</c><00:28:57.480><c> refreshment.</c>

00:28:59.740 --> 00:29:01.900
Here<00:29:00.099><c> the</c><00:29:00.500><c> Sabbath</c><00:29:00.960><c> is</c><00:29:01.299><c> enjoined</c>

Thus<00:29:49.680><c> saith</c><00:29:50.000><c> the</c><00:29:50.359><c> LORD,</c>

00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:31.640
Heaven<00:30:29.000><c> and</c><00:30:29.240><c> earth</c><00:30:29.539><c> don't</c><00:30:29.819><c> restrict</c><00:30:30.220><c> me,</c><00:30:30.660><c> says</c><00:30:30.779><c> God.</c>

00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:57.000
That's<00:30:54.779><c> marvellous,</c><00:30:55.339><c> isn't</c><00:30:55.539><c> it,</c><00:30:55.680><c> brethren</c><00:30:55.900><c> and</c><00:30:56.180><c> sisters?</c>

00:30:57.920 --> 00:30:59.779
Here<00:30:58.319><c> is</c><00:30:58.700><c> God's</c><00:30:59.500><c> rest</c>

00:30:59.779 --> 00:31:03.180
in<00:31:00.779><c> a</c><00:31:01.119><c> people</c><00:31:01.460><c> who</c><00:31:01.779><c> love</c><00:31:01.940><c> Him,</c>

00:31:03.259 --> 00:31:05.000
a<00:31:03.539><c> people</c><00:31:03.740><c> who</c><00:31:04.180><c> know</c><00:31:04.380><c> His</c><00:31:04.680><c> word</c>

00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:07.680
and<00:31:05.400><c> tremble</c><00:31:06.059><c> because</c><00:31:06.480><c> of</c><00:31:06.720><c> it,</c>

00:31:08.099 --> 00:31:11.279
not<00:31:08.420><c> because</c><00:31:08.859><c> they</c><00:31:09.059><c> are</c><00:31:09.420><c> fearful</c><00:31:09.759><c> of</c><00:31:09.960><c> their</c><00:31:10.200><c> God,</c>

00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:15.400
but<00:31:11.660><c> because</c><00:31:12.180><c> they</c><00:31:12.559><c> rejoice</c><00:31:13.380><c> in</c><00:31:14.180><c> His</c><00:31:14.720><c> greatness</c>

00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:20.779
and<00:31:16.279><c> willingly</c><00:31:16.819><c> humble</c><00:31:17.480><c> themselves</c><00:31:18.440><c> before</c><00:31:19.579><c> Him.</c>

00:31:24.500 --> 00:31:26.079
Can<00:31:25.099><c> we</c><00:31:25.220><c> come</c><00:31:25.400><c> back,</c><00:31:25.740><c> then,</c>

00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:29.380
to<00:31:26.460><c> Genesis</c><00:31:26.839><c> chapter</c><00:31:27.440><c> 2</c><00:31:27.759><c> for</c><00:31:27.960><c> a</c><00:31:28.140><c> moment</c>

00:31:30.579 --> 00:31:32.559
and<00:31:31.220><c> just</c><00:31:31.539><c> look</c><00:31:31.759><c> at</c><00:31:31.900><c> the</c><00:31:32.039><c> implications</c>

00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:36.900
of<00:31:32.720><c> what</c><00:31:32.859><c> we've</c><00:31:33.279><c> said</c><00:31:34.079><c> here</c><00:31:35.119><c> in</c><00:31:35.319><c> Genesis</c><00:31:35.740><c> 2?</c>

00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:43.000
Now,<00:31:40.119><c> again,</c><00:31:40.599><c> I</c><00:31:40.880><c> don't</c><00:31:41.140><c> want</c><00:31:41.480><c> to</c><00:31:41.720><c> be</c><00:31:42.079><c> dogmatic</c><00:31:42.559><c> about</c><00:31:42.799><c> this.</c>

00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:44.599
Dogmatism<00:31:43.660><c> here,</c><00:31:43.920><c> brethren</c><00:31:44.180><c> and</c><00:31:44.380><c> sisters,</c>

00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:46.819
is<00:31:44.920><c> entirely</c><00:31:45.680><c> out</c><00:31:46.039><c> of</c><00:31:46.319><c> place.</c>

00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:49.019
I<00:31:47.539><c> want</c><00:31:47.700><c> you</c><00:31:47.859><c> to</c><00:31:48.039><c> know</c><00:31:48.240><c> that</c>

00:31:49.019 --> 00:31:52.480
and<00:31:49.500><c> to</c><00:31:49.640><c> be</c><00:31:49.819><c> aware</c><00:31:49.980><c> that</c><00:31:50.160><c> I</c><00:31:50.299><c> know</c><00:31:50.480><c> that,</c><00:31:51.980><c> too.</c>

00:31:54.140 --> 00:31:55.640
But<00:31:54.420><c> it</c><00:31:54.720><c> does</c><00:31:55.019><c> appear,</c>

00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:57.460
and<00:31:55.819><c> I'll</c><00:31:56.019><c> put</c><00:31:56.140><c> it</c><00:31:56.339><c> no</c><00:31:56.579><c> stronger</c><00:31:57.059><c> than</c><00:31:57.319><c> that,</c>

00:31:57.539 --> 00:32:02.279
it<00:31:57.599><c> does</c><00:31:57.900><c> appear</c><00:31:58.240><c> that</c><00:31:59.079><c> God</c><00:31:59.640><c> never</c><00:32:00.740><c> enjoyed</c><00:32:01.400><c> His</c><00:32:01.740><c> rest</c>

00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:05.119
here<00:32:03.380><c> in</c><00:32:03.579><c> Genesis</c><00:32:03.920><c> 2.</c>

00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:08.380
Ultimately,<00:32:06.279><c> we</c><00:32:06.460><c> know</c><00:32:06.660><c> that</c><00:32:06.839><c> that's</c><00:32:07.079><c> the</c><00:32:07.240><c> case.</c>

00:32:08.859 --> 00:32:12.740
The<00:32:09.140><c> issue,</c><00:32:09.640><c> perhaps,</c><00:32:10.140><c> is</c><00:32:10.460><c> for</c><00:32:10.940><c> how</c><00:32:11.220><c> long</c><00:32:11.480><c> God</c><00:32:11.759><c> rested.</c>

00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:15.380
We<00:32:13.640><c> have</c><00:32:13.880><c> read</c><00:32:14.099><c> Genesis</c><00:32:14.519><c> chapter</c><00:32:14.900><c> 2,</c>

00:32:15.539 --> 00:32:17.799
thus<00:32:15.940><c> the</c><00:32:16.240><c> heavens</c><00:32:16.559><c> and</c><00:32:16.779><c> the</c><00:32:16.980><c> earth</c><00:32:17.200><c> were</c><00:32:17.440><c> finished</c>

00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:18.740
and<00:32:18.000><c> the</c><00:32:18.180><c> host</c><00:32:18.380><c> of</c><00:32:18.579><c> them,</c>

00:32:19.019 --> 00:32:20.039
and<00:32:19.019><c> on</c><00:32:19.279><c> the</c><00:32:19.480><c> seventh</c><00:32:19.700><c> day,</c>

00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:21.980
God<00:32:20.380><c> ended</c><00:32:20.839><c> His</c><00:32:21.140><c> work</c><00:32:21.319><c> which</c><00:32:21.460><c> He</c><00:32:21.579><c> had</c><00:32:21.799><c> made,</c>

00:32:22.019 --> 00:32:23.720
and<00:32:22.099><c> He</c><00:32:22.339><c> rested</c><00:32:22.700><c> on</c><00:32:22.920><c> the</c><00:32:23.119><c> seventh</c><00:32:23.319><c> day</c>

00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:26.500
from<00:32:24.019><c> all</c><00:32:24.259><c> His</c><00:32:24.500><c> work</c><00:32:24.920><c> which</c><00:32:25.160><c> He</c><00:32:25.259><c> had</c><00:32:25.519><c> made.</c>

00:32:28.539 --> 00:32:30.539
I'd<00:32:28.980><c> like</c><00:32:28.980><c> to</c><00:32:29.200><c> suggest</c><00:32:29.500><c> to</c><00:32:29.599><c> you,</c><00:32:29.779><c> brethren</c><00:32:29.900><c> and</c><00:32:30.140><c> sisters,</c>

00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:32.440
and<00:32:31.160><c> I've</c><00:32:31.339><c> made</c><00:32:31.539><c> this</c><00:32:31.700><c> suggestion</c><00:32:32.039><c> before,</c>

00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:34.400
and<00:32:32.579><c> I</c><00:32:32.740><c> haven't</c><00:32:32.880><c> found</c><00:32:33.099><c> a</c><00:32:33.299><c> single</c><00:32:33.500><c> individual</c><00:32:33.960><c> who</c><00:32:34.200><c> agreed</c>

00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:34.720
with<00:32:34.599><c> me,</c>

00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:36.940
so<00:32:34.920><c> I</c><00:32:35.119><c> shan't</c><00:32:35.299><c> be</c><00:32:35.420><c> the</c><00:32:35.559><c> least</c><00:32:35.779><c> disappointed,</c>

00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:37.900
least<00:32:37.259><c> bit</c><00:32:37.440><c> disappointed,</c>

00:32:37.940 --> 00:32:39.000
if<00:32:38.059><c> you</c><00:32:38.240><c> all</c><00:32:38.380><c> want</c><00:32:38.539><c> to</c><00:32:38.799><c> disagree,</c>

00:32:39.019 --> 00:32:39.940
and<00:32:39.119><c> I'm</c><00:32:39.299><c> sure</c><00:32:39.480><c> you</c><00:32:39.700><c> will,</c>

00:32:39.940 --> 00:32:41.839
but<00:32:40.299><c> think</c><00:32:41.039><c> about</c><00:32:41.359><c> it.</c>

00:32:42.339 --> 00:32:44.759
It<00:32:42.579><c> seems</c><00:32:42.819><c> to</c><00:32:42.980><c> me</c><00:32:43.079><c> that</c><00:32:43.240><c> there</c><00:32:43.440><c> is</c><00:32:43.720><c> every</c><00:32:44.099><c> likelihood</c>

00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:47.799
that<00:32:45.180><c> Adam</c><00:32:45.420><c> and</c><00:32:45.740><c> Eve</c><00:32:46.339><c> sinned</c>

00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:50.660
on<00:32:48.299><c> that</c><00:32:48.640><c> very</c><00:32:49.039><c> first</c><00:32:49.700><c> Sabbath.</c>

00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:53.359
Now,<00:32:52.059><c> I</c><00:32:52.200><c> know</c><00:32:52.359><c> we're</c><00:32:52.559><c> not</c><00:32:52.680><c> used</c><00:32:52.920><c> to,</c>

00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:54.920
we're<00:32:53.740><c> not</c><00:32:53.880><c> accustomed</c><00:32:54.180><c> to</c><00:32:54.440><c> thinking</c><00:32:54.660><c> that.</c>

00:32:54.980 --> 00:32:57.220
We<00:32:55.240><c> generally</c><00:32:55.660><c> imagine</c><00:32:56.299><c> that</c><00:32:56.519><c> they</c><00:32:56.799><c> were</c>

00:32:57.220 --> 00:32:59.960
some<00:32:57.640><c> period</c><00:32:58.240><c> of</c><00:32:58.900><c> indeterminate</c><00:32:59.599><c> length</c>

00:32:59.960 --> 00:33:01.059
in<00:33:00.180><c> the</c><00:33:00.359><c> Garden</c><00:33:00.579><c> of</c><00:33:00.799><c> Eden,</c>

00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:03.440
but<00:33:01.779><c> that</c><00:33:01.980><c> they</c><00:33:02.119><c> were</c><00:33:02.339><c> there</c><00:33:02.519><c> for</c><00:33:02.740><c> a</c><00:33:03.019><c> time,</c>

00:33:03.500 --> 00:33:05.059
and<00:33:03.819><c> that</c><00:33:04.079><c> may</c><00:33:04.380><c> still</c><00:33:04.660><c> be</c><00:33:04.880><c> right.</c>

00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:07.059
Please,<00:33:05.460><c> that</c><00:33:05.740><c> might</c><00:33:06.039><c> still</c><00:33:06.279><c> be</c><00:33:06.500><c> the</c><00:33:06.619><c> case.</c>

00:33:07.059 --> 00:33:10.400
I'm<00:33:07.579><c> not</c><00:33:07.740><c> insisting</c><00:33:08.339><c> on</c><00:33:08.680><c> anything</c><00:33:09.019><c> different,</c>

00:33:11.460 --> 00:33:13.299
but<00:33:11.980><c> it</c><00:33:12.380><c> must,</c><00:33:12.819><c> it</c><00:33:12.819><c> seems</c><00:33:13.000><c> to</c><00:33:13.140><c> me,</c>

00:33:13.299 --> 00:33:17.299
have<00:33:13.539><c> been</c><00:33:13.920><c> a</c><00:33:14.240><c> fairly,</c><00:33:14.740><c> a</c><00:33:15.079><c> relatively</c><00:33:15.619><c> short</c><00:33:16.180><c> period</c>

00:33:17.579 --> 00:33:19.000
for<00:33:18.099><c> a</c><00:33:18.220><c> number</c><00:33:18.359><c> of</c><00:33:18.559><c> reasons,</c>

00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:21.279
and<00:33:19.660><c> I</c><00:33:19.740><c> think</c><00:33:19.980><c> Scripture</c><00:33:20.319><c> hints</c>

00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:25.019
one<00:33:22.220><c> or</c><00:33:22.359><c> two</c><00:33:22.539><c> reasons</c><00:33:22.839><c> why</c><00:33:23.039><c> that</c><00:33:23.259><c> might</c><00:33:23.440><c> have</c><00:33:23.579><c> been</c><00:33:23.720><c> the</c><00:33:23.880><c> case.</c>

00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:27.140
In<00:33:26.480><c> the</c><00:33:26.680><c> first</c><00:33:26.900><c> place,</c>

00:33:27.140 --> 00:33:29.859
you<00:33:27.279><c> would</c><00:33:27.460><c> expect</c><00:33:27.980><c> it</c><00:33:28.200><c> to</c><00:33:28.319><c> be</c><00:33:28.519><c> a</c><00:33:28.720><c> short</c><00:33:28.960><c> time</c>

00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:33.559

00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:18.579
But<00:39:17.519><c> Jesus</c><00:39:17.880><c> answered</c><00:39:18.300><c> them,</c>

00:39:18.820 --> 00:39:24.119
My<00:39:19.119><c> Father</c><00:39:19.739><c> worketh</c><00:39:20.159><c> hitherto,</c><00:39:22.639><c> and</c><00:39:22.940><c> I</c><00:39:23.199><c> work.</c>

00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:26.539
Now<00:39:24.500><c> just</c><00:39:24.679><c> think</c><00:39:24.860><c> about</c><00:39:25.059><c> the</c><00:39:25.260><c> force</c><00:39:25.440><c> of</c><00:39:25.619><c> those</c><00:39:25.800><c> words,</c><00:39:26.119><c> brethren</c><00:39:26.219><c> and</c><00:39:26.420><c> sisters.</c>

00:39:26.579 --> 00:39:30.679
My<00:39:26.800><c> Father</c><00:39:27.139><c> worketh</c><00:39:27.739><c> hither</c><00:39:28.219><c> too,</c><00:39:29.179><c> so</c><00:39:29.539><c> far.</c>

00:39:31.059 --> 00:39:32.980
God<00:39:31.380><c> had</c><00:39:31.599><c> to</c><00:39:31.699><c> go</c><00:39:31.960><c> back</c><00:39:32.199><c> to</c><00:39:32.500><c> work,</c>

00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:35.440
almost<00:39:33.860><c> immediately</c><00:39:34.440><c> it</c><00:39:34.619><c> seems</c><00:39:34.860><c> to</c><00:39:35.059><c> me.</c>

00:39:35.739 --> 00:39:36.519
Adam<00:39:36.000><c> and</c><00:39:36.139><c> Eve</c><00:39:36.280><c> sinned</c>

00:39:38.380 --> 00:39:40.719
And<00:39:38.480><c> He's</c><00:39:38.579><c> been</c><00:39:38.820><c> working</c><00:39:39.119><c> ever</c><00:39:39.579><c> since,</c><00:39:40.199><c> says</c><00:39:40.340><c> Jesus.</c>

00:39:40.940 --> 00:39:42.500
God<00:39:41.239><c> never</c><00:39:41.699><c> enjoyed</c><00:39:42.019><c> His</c><00:39:42.280><c> rest.</c>

00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:45.860
He<00:39:42.780><c> never</c><00:39:43.099><c> had</c><00:39:43.400><c> a</c><00:39:43.679><c> Sabbath</c><00:39:44.039><c> to</c><00:39:44.599><c> speak</c><00:39:44.860><c> of.</c>
