00:53:31.639 --> 00:53:35.619
And<00:53:32.199><c> they'd</c><00:53:32.760><c> associated</c><00:53:33.360><c> themselves</c><00:53:34.119><c> with</c><00:53:34.940><c> the</c><00:53:35.139><c> people</c><00:53:35.400><c> of</c>

the<00:53:35.800><c> land.</c>

00:53:36.420 --> 00:53:39.559

00:53:49.579 --> 00:53:54.079
And<00:53:49.900><c> he</c><00:53:50.320><c> experienced</c><00:53:51.579><c> bitterness</c><00:53:52.280><c> as</c><00:53:52.639><c> a</c><00:53:52.840><c> result</c><00:53:53.079><c> of</c><00:53:53.280><c> it.</c>

00:53:56.039 --> 00:53:59.500
Abraham<00:53:57.019><c> experienced</c><00:53:57.800><c> the</c><00:53:58.039><c> famine</c><00:53:58.280><c> of</c><00:53:58.500><c> the</c><00:53:58.639><c> land</c><00:53:58.880><c> in</c><00:53:59.099><c> Genesis</c>

00:54:14.639 --> 00:54:20.219

00:54:20.500 --> 00:54:25.539
Lot<00:54:21.179><c> was</c><00:54:21.480><c> divided</c><00:54:21.960><c> in</c><00:54:22.159><c> his</c><00:54:22.460><c> loyalty</c><00:54:22.920><c> initially</c><00:54:23.719><c> between</c><00:54:24.880><c> the</c>

00:54:28.980 --> 00:54:33.159
There<00:54:29.079><c> was</c><00:54:29.260><c> all</c><00:54:29.559><c> kinds</c><00:54:29.920><c> of</c><00:54:30.800><c> difficulties</c><00:54:31.340><c> created,</c><00:54:32.239><c> bitternesses,</c>

00:54:36.300 --> 00:54:39.659
So<00:54:36.480><c> we</c><00:54:36.679><c> bring</c><00:54:36.920><c> these</c><00:54:37.260><c> things</c><00:54:37.480><c> upon</c><00:54:37.739><c> us</c><00:54:37.980><c> ourselves,</c><00:54:38.440><c> don't</c><00:54:38.699><c> we?</c>

00:54:39.920 --> 00:54:42.940
And<00:54:40.079><c> that's</c><00:54:40.260><c> the</c><00:54:40.500><c> teaching</c><00:54:40.820><c> of</c><00:54:41.059><c> this</c><00:54:41.300><c> parable.</c>

00:54:43.860 --> 00:54:48.000

00:58:37.579 --> 00:58:39.860
They<00:58:37.880><c> cast</c><00:58:38.159><c> up</c><00:58:38.480><c> mire</c><00:58:38.760><c> and</c><00:58:39.019><c> dirt.</c>

00:58:40.179 --> 00:58:47.780
And<00:58:40.579><c> we</c><00:58:40.760><c> have</c><00:58:41.320><c> a</c><00:58:41.460><c> number</c><00:58:41.800><c> of</c><00:58:43.920><c> references</c><00:58:44.440><c> to</c><00:58:44.820><c> nations</c><00:58:45.400><c> associated</c><00:58:46.380><c> with</c><00:58:46.760><c> water.</c>

00:58:48.900 --> 00:58:52.280
And<00:58:49.079><c> one</c><00:58:49.260><c> thing</c><00:58:49.500><c> that</c><00:58:49.699><c> Israel</c><00:58:50.000><c> is</c><00:58:50.139><c> being</c><00:58:50.500><c> taught</c><00:58:50.780><c> on</c><00:58:51.019><c> this</c><00:58:51.219><c> occasion</c>

00:58:52.360 --> 00:58:58.519
is<00:58:53.199><c> that</c><00:58:53.480><c> if</c><00:58:53.880><c> they</c><00:58:54.199><c> reach</c><00:58:54.579><c> out</c><00:58:55.440><c> for</c><00:58:56.159><c> the</c><00:58:56.400><c> waters</c><00:58:56.840><c> of</c><00:58:57.179><c> the</c><00:58:57.460><c> world,</c>

00:58:59.139 --> 00:59:04.400
they<00:58:59.280><c> will</c><00:58:59.539><c> always</c><00:59:00.000><c> experience</c><00:59:00.880><c> the</c><00:59:01.400><c> bitterness</c><00:59:01.900><c> that</c><00:59:02.480><c> it</c><00:59:03.400><c> brings.</c>

00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:07.719
That's<00:59:05.519><c> the</c><00:59:05.679><c> first</c><00:59:05.980><c> lesson</c><00:59:06.300><c> that</c><00:59:06.460><c> comes</c><00:59:06.699><c> out</c><00:59:07.000><c> of</c><00:59:07.440><c> this</c>

00:59:07.719 --> 00:59:10.079
particular<00:59:08.599><c> incident.</c>

00:59:11.920 --> 00:59:17.340
It<00:59:11.940><c> has</c><00:59:12.139><c> been</c><00:59:12.380><c> suggested</c><00:59:12.880><c> as</c><00:59:13.159><c> well</c><00:59:13.360><c> that</c><00:59:13.579><c> the</c><00:59:13.840><c> water</c><00:59:14.480><c> represented</c><00:59:15.739><c> the</c><00:59:16.039><c> old</c><00:59:16.300><c> covenant.</c>

00:59:19.360 --> 00:59:22.599
It<00:59:19.599><c> was</c><00:59:19.840><c> an</c><00:59:20.039><c> oasis</c><00:59:20.800><c> in</c><00:59:21.460><c> a</c><00:59:21.579><c> wilderness.</c>

00:59:22.860 --> 00:59:25.300
And<00:59:22.960><c> the</c><00:59:23.079><c> old</c><00:59:23.400><c> covenant</c><00:59:23.920><c> of</c><00:59:24.340><c> Israel,</c>

00:59:25.719 --> 00:59:30.099
they<00:59:25.920><c> were</c><00:59:26.039><c> being</c><00:59:26.300><c> reminded</c><00:59:26.760><c> that</c><00:59:27.219><c> that</c><00:59:27.679><c> was</c><00:59:28.019><c> not</c><00:59:28.619><c> in</c><00:59:29.840><c> the</c>

00:59:30.099 --> 00:59:31.880
final<00:59:30.420><c> analysis</c>

00:59:32.739 --> 00:59:35.639
the<00:59:33.360><c> covenant</c><00:59:33.699><c> which</c><00:59:33.940><c> would</c><00:59:34.179><c> give</c><00:59:34.400><c> life.</c>

00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:40.619
The<00:59:37.579><c> real</c><00:59:37.840><c> life</c><00:59:38.219><c> came</c><00:59:38.780><c> from</c><00:59:39.500><c> a</c><00:59:39.739><c> different</c><00:59:40.119><c> covenant,</c>

00:59:40.900 --> 00:59:43.480
a<00:59:41.099><c> covenant</c><00:59:41.400><c> which</c><00:59:41.659><c> had</c><00:59:41.920><c> preceded</c><00:59:42.480><c> it</c><00:59:42.840><c> in</c><00:59:43.079><c> promise</c>

00:59:43.480 --> 00:59:47.340
but<00:59:43.900><c> would</c><00:59:44.159><c> come</c><00:59:44.400><c> after</c><00:59:44.980><c> in</c><00:59:45.900><c> its</c><00:59:46.179><c> fulfillment.</c>

00:59:48.320 --> 00:59:52.159
So<00:59:48.519><c> Israel</c><00:59:48.900><c> looked</c><00:59:49.400><c> to</c><00:59:50.119><c> the</c><00:59:50.599><c> water</c><00:59:50.940><c> of</c><00:59:51.260><c> the</c><00:59:51.440><c> covenant</c><00:59:51.760><c> of</c><00:59:52.000><c> the</c>

00:59:52.159 --> 00:59:53.880
old<00:59:52.360><c> covenant</c><00:59:52.820><c> for</c><00:59:53.579><c> life</c>

00:59:53.880 --> 00:59:56.199
but<00:59:54.059><c> it</c><00:59:54.199><c> was</c><00:59:54.380><c> administration</c><00:59:54.980><c> of</c><00:59:55.239><c> death,</c>

00:59:56.320 --> 00:59:59.159
as<00:59:56.519><c> Paul</c><00:59:56.780><c> puts</c><00:59:57.079><c> it</c><00:59:57.280><c> in</c><00:59:57.400><c> 2</c><00:59:57.639><c> Corinthians</c><00:59:58.059><c> chapter</c><00:59:58.480><c> 3.</c>

00:59:59.159 --> 01:00:02.000
It<00:59:59.539><c> was</c><00:59:59.760><c> administration</c><01:00:00.420><c> of</c><01:00:00.760><c> death.</c>

01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:07.039
And<01:00:03.000><c> the</c><01:00:03.179><c> only</c><01:00:03.599><c> way</c><01:00:04.000><c> in</c><01:00:04.119><c> which</c><01:00:04.420><c> the</c><01:00:04.739><c> water</c><01:00:05.000><c> could</c><01:00:05.280><c> be</c><01:00:05.519><c> made</c><01:00:05.860><c> sweet</c>

01:00:07.619 --> 01:00:12.440
was<01:00:08.260><c> by</c><01:00:08.599><c> God</c><01:00:08.920><c> casting</c><01:00:09.539><c> a</c><01:00:10.000><c> tree</c><01:00:10.460><c> into</c><01:00:11.260><c> the</c><01:00:11.539><c> water.</c>

01:00:12.940 --> 01:00:14.420
Did<01:00:13.159><c> you</c><01:00:13.159><c> notice</c><01:00:13.500><c> that?</c>

01:00:15.179 --> 01:00:19.199
He<01:00:15.340><c> took</c><01:00:15.519><c> a</c><01:00:15.780><c> tree</c><01:00:16.239><c> and</c><01:00:17.760><c> he</c><01:00:17.960><c> cast</c><01:00:18.139><c> it</c><01:00:18.280><c> into</c><01:00:18.500><c> the</c><01:00:18.719><c> water</c><01:00:18.920><c> and</c><01:00:19.039><c> it</c>

01:00:19.199 --> 01:00:20.519
became<01:00:19.519><c> sweet.</c>

01:00:20.599 --> 01:00:23.280
It's<01:00:20.780><c> rather</c><01:00:21.000><c> interesting</c><01:00:21.539><c> when</c><01:00:21.699><c> you</c><01:00:21.840><c> look</c><01:00:22.039><c> at</c><01:00:22.179><c> that</c><01:00:22.400><c> word</c><01:00:22.639><c> tree.</c>

01:00:23.280 --> 01:00:26.380
If<01:00:23.599><c> you</c><01:00:24.400><c> go</c><01:00:24.519><c> to</c><01:00:24.659><c> the</c><01:00:24.780><c> book</c><01:00:24.940><c> of</c><01:00:25.219><c> Esther,</c>

01:00:28.719 --> 01:00:31.480
follow<01:00:28.820><c> it</c><01:00:29.039><c> through</c><01:00:29.159><c> in</c><01:00:29.360><c> a</c><01:00:29.579><c> concordance,</c>

Verse<01:00:43.840><c> 14,</c>

01:00:44.559 --> 01:00:49.219
Then<01:00:44.679><c> Zerush</c><01:00:45.179><c> his</c><01:00:45.400><c> wife</c><01:00:46.199><c> and</c><01:00:47.820><c> all</c><01:00:48.079><c> his</c><01:00:48.320><c> friends</c><01:00:48.679><c> and</c><01:00:49.079><c> said</c>

01:00:49.219 --> 01:00:50.300
unto<01:00:49.400><c> him,</c>

01:00:50.300 --> 01:00:53.639
Let<01:00:51.320><c> a</c><01:00:51.599><c> gallows</c><01:00:51.960><c> be</c><01:00:52.159><c> made</c><01:00:52.400><c> of</c><01:00:52.579><c> fifty</c><01:00:52.860><c> cubits</c><01:00:53.260><c> high,</c>

01:00:54.079 --> 01:00:56.380
and<01:00:54.239><c> tomorrow</c><01:00:54.579><c> speak</c><01:00:54.980><c> thou</c><01:00:55.179><c> unto</c><01:00:55.360><c> the</c><01:00:55.559><c> king</c><01:00:55.719><c> that</c><01:00:55.920><c> Mordecai</c>

01:00:56.380 --> 01:00:58.000
may<01:00:56.599><c> be</c><01:00:56.780><c> hanged</c><01:00:57.059><c> thereof.</c>

01:00:58.239 --> 01:01:01.820
That<01:00:58.639><c> word</c><01:00:58.920><c> gallows</c><01:00:59.739><c> is</c><01:01:00.380><c> the</c><01:01:00.539><c> word</c><01:01:00.760><c> tree.</c>

01:01:02.679 --> 01:01:06.960
It's<01:01:02.860><c> the</c><01:01:03.000><c> same</c><01:01:03.219><c> word</c><01:01:03.460><c> which</c><01:01:03.699><c> is</c><01:01:03.920><c> used</c><01:01:04.159><c> in</c><01:01:04.639><c> Exodus</c><01:01:05.099><c> chapter</c><01:01:05.760><c> 15.</c>

01:01:07.780 --> 01:01:11.760
So<01:01:07.980><c> what</c><01:01:08.199><c> we've</c><01:01:08.480><c> got</c><01:01:08.619><c> is</c><01:01:09.059><c> an</c><01:01:09.340><c> association</c><01:01:09.980><c> now</c><01:01:10.280><c> with</c><01:01:10.480><c> sacrifice.</c>

01:01:11.920 --> 01:01:14.000
We<01:01:12.340><c> build</c><01:01:12.619><c> a</c><01:01:12.820><c> picture,</c><01:01:13.139><c> we</c><01:01:13.300><c> ask</c><01:01:13.559><c> questions.</c>

01:01:14.420 --> 01:01:18.880
What<01:01:14.880><c> is</c><01:01:15.179><c> the</c><01:01:16.219><c> connection</c><01:01:16.800><c> between</c><01:01:17.239><c> a</c><01:01:17.559><c> tree</c><01:01:17.860><c> and</c><01:01:18.159><c> a</c><01:01:18.340><c> gallows?</c>

01:01:18.880 --> 01:01:20.760
Well,<01:01:19.780><c> it's</c><01:01:19.940><c> the</c><01:01:20.179><c> sacrifice.</c>

01:01:20.960 --> 01:01:22.880
And<01:01:21.239><c> where</c><01:01:21.400><c> does</c><01:01:21.559><c> the</c><01:01:21.820><c> tree</c><01:01:21.980><c> come</c><01:01:22.280><c> in?</c>

01:01:22.960 --> 01:01:24.320
In<01:01:23.340><c> Scripture.</c>

01:01:24.639 --> 01:01:29.380
It<01:01:24.760><c> was</c><01:01:25.000><c> the</c><01:01:25.300><c> tree</c><01:01:25.860><c> that</c><01:01:26.639><c> the</c><01:01:26.820><c> Lord</c><01:01:27.039><c> Jesus</c><01:01:27.559><c> Christ</c><01:01:27.880><c> was</c><01:01:28.199><c> nailed</c><01:01:28.539><c> to,</c>

01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:31.880
to<01:01:29.980><c> secure</c><01:01:30.400><c> our</c><01:01:30.739><c> salvation.</c>

01:01:33.360 --> 01:01:38.900
And<01:01:33.699><c> so</c><01:01:33.800><c> the</c><01:01:34.059><c> bitter</c><01:01:34.420><c> waters</c><01:01:34.940><c> of</c><01:01:35.239><c> life</c><01:01:35.900><c> are</c><01:01:37.300><c> made</c><01:01:37.739><c> sweet</c>

01:01:39.099 --> 01:01:42.780
by<01:01:39.739><c> the</c><01:01:40.039><c> sacrifice</c><01:01:40.539><c> of</c><01:01:40.780><c> the</c><01:01:40.920><c> Lord</c><01:01:41.079><c> Jesus</c><01:01:41.579><c> Christ,</c>

01:01:43.780 --> 01:01:45.059
His<01:01:43.960><c> death</c><01:01:44.260><c> upon</c><01:01:44.519><c> the</c><01:01:44.780><c> cross.</c>

01:01:45.059 --> 01:01:52.860
