We<00:02:07.180><c> could</c><00:02:07.540><c> not</c><00:02:07.840><c> possibly</c><00:02:08.620><c> decipher</c><00:02:09.319><c> that</c><00:02:09.620><c> from</c><00:02:09.800><c> his</c><00:02:10.099><c> writing</c>

00:24:03.539 --> 00:24:07.500
Peter<00:24:03.819><c> quotes</c><00:24:04.220><c> that</c><00:24:04.960><c> in</c><00:24:05.500><c> chapter</c><00:24:05.819><c> 2</c><00:24:06.119><c> of</c><00:24:06.299><c> his</c><00:24:06.500><c> epistle.</c>

00:24:07.859 --> 00:24:09.200
And<00:24:08.160><c> why?</c>

00:24:09.339 --> 00:24:11.319
He's<00:24:09.480><c> got</c><00:24:09.599><c> every</c><00:24:09.940><c> reason</c><00:24:10.319><c> to,</c><00:24:10.640><c> hasn't</c><00:24:10.940><c> he?</c>

00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.980
Because<00:24:12.079><c> he</c><00:24:12.259><c> has</c><00:24:12.460><c> experienced</c><00:24:13.619><c> the</c><00:24:14.240><c> deliverance</c><00:24:14.700><c> of</c><00:24:14.940><c> God.</c>

00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:18.940
Acts<00:24:16.980><c> chapter</c><00:24:17.220><c> 12</c><00:24:17.500><c> is</c><00:24:17.740><c> interesting</c><00:24:18.119><c> in</c><00:24:18.339><c> another</c><00:24:18.559><c> respect,</c>

00:24:18.940 --> 00:24:21.700
because<00:24:19.319><c> after</c><00:24:20.119><c> the</c><00:24:20.299><c> incident</c><00:24:20.599><c> of</c><00:24:20.900><c> Peter,</c>

00:24:22.259 --> 00:24:27.099
the<00:24:22.359><c> angel</c><00:24:22.720><c> goes</c><00:24:23.059><c> and</c><00:24:23.400><c> smites</c><00:24:23.799><c> Herod</c><00:24:24.319><c> and</c><00:24:26.099><c> kills</c><00:24:26.680><c> him.</c>

00:24:27.539 --> 00:24:29.400
The<00:24:27.619><c> angel</c><00:24:27.920><c> of</c><00:24:28.140><c> the</c><00:24:28.279><c> Lord</c><00:24:28.500><c> smokes</c><00:24:28.920><c> him</c>

00:24:32.700 --> 00:24:35.519
That<00:24:32.960><c> happens</c><00:24:33.279><c> sometime</c><00:24:33.920><c> after</c><00:24:34.460><c> Peter's</c><00:24:35.079><c> imprisonment,</c>

00:24:35.579 --> 00:24:37.880

00:24:37.900 --> 00:24:38.400
Why?

00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:41.900
Because<00:24:39.140><c> it's</c><00:24:39.440><c> the</c><00:24:39.619><c> second</c><00:24:39.859><c> half</c><00:24:40.160><c> of</c><00:24:40.380><c> Psalm</c><00:24:40.599><c> 34.</c>

00:24:42.539 --> 00:24:43.920
Psalm<00:24:42.859><c> 34</c><00:24:43.440><c> says,</c>

00:24:44.259 --> 00:24:47.000
The<00:24:44.279><c> eyes</c><00:24:44.660><c> of</c><00:24:44.900><c> the</c><00:24:45.099><c> Lord</c><00:24:45.420><c> are</c><00:24:45.799><c> upon</c><00:24:46.259><c> the</c><00:24:46.500><c> righteous,</c>

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:49.440
and<00:24:47.500><c> his</c><00:24:47.720><c> ears</c><00:24:48.019><c> are</c><00:24:48.279><c> open</c><00:24:48.460><c> unto</c><00:24:48.700><c> their</c><00:24:49.019><c> cry.</c>

00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:53.440
The<00:24:50.220><c> face</c><00:24:50.519><c> of</c><00:24:50.740><c> the</c><00:24:50.859><c> Lord</c><00:24:51.059><c> is</c><00:24:51.400><c> against</c><00:24:51.940><c> them</c><00:24:52.500><c> that</c><00:24:52.740><c> do</c><00:24:52.960><c> evil,</c>

00:24:53.660 --> 00:24:58.039
to<00:24:53.839><c> cut</c><00:24:54.039><c> off</c><00:24:54.259><c> the</c><00:24:54.640><c> remembrance</c><00:24:55.140><c> of</c><00:24:55.799><c> them</c><00:24:56.400><c> from</c><00:24:56.980><c> the</c><00:24:57.220><c> earth.</c>

00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:01.079
And<00:24:58.579><c> why</c><00:24:58.920><c> was</c><00:24:59.359><c> Herod</c><00:24:59.660><c> cut</c><00:25:00.039><c> off?</c>

00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:04.920
Because<00:25:01.839><c> he</c><00:25:02.000><c> gave</c><00:25:02.400><c> not</c><00:25:02.700><c> God</c><00:25:03.380><c> the</c><00:25:03.859><c> glory.</c>

00:25:05.099 --> 00:25:07.259
And<00:25:05.339><c> Psalm</c><00:25:05.559><c> 34</c><00:25:06.099><c> begins,</c>

00:25:07.299 --> 00:25:10.680
I<00:25:07.299><c> will</c><00:25:07.619><c> bless</c><00:25:08.140><c> Yahweh</c><00:25:08.700><c> at</c><00:25:09.140><c> all</c><00:25:09.599><c> times.</c>

00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:15.299
My<00:25:11.920><c> soul</c><00:25:12.460><c> shall</c><00:25:12.819><c> make</c><00:25:13.099><c> her</c><00:25:13.359><c> boast</c><00:25:13.839><c> in</c><00:25:14.740><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:25:15.299 --> 00:25:17.420
And<00:25:15.660><c> it's</c><00:25:15.799><c> because</c><00:25:16.140><c> Herod</c><00:25:16.380><c> didn't</c><00:25:16.700><c> do</c><00:25:17.019><c> that,</c>

00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:18.539
that<00:25:17.759><c> he</c><00:25:17.839><c> was</c><00:25:18.059><c> cut</c><00:25:18.319><c> off.</c>

00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:21.140
So<00:25:18.859><c> we've</c><00:25:19.079><c> got</c><00:25:19.200><c> the</c><00:25:19.400><c> goodness</c><00:25:19.720><c> and</c><00:25:19.980><c> the</c><00:25:20.180><c> severity</c><00:25:20.680><c> of</c><00:25:20.920><c> God</c>

00:25:21.140 --> 00:25:24.000
in<00:25:21.400><c> Psalm</c><00:25:21.579><c> 34</c><00:25:22.400><c> and</c><00:25:22.740><c> in</c><00:25:22.900><c> Acts</c><00:25:23.039><c> chapter</c><00:25:23.339><c> 12.</c>

00:25:24.380 --> 00:25:26.359
And<00:25:24.460><c> it's</c><00:25:24.720><c> a</c><00:25:24.880><c> stepping</c><00:25:25.160><c> stone</c><00:25:25.480><c> into</c><00:25:25.720><c> the</c><00:25:25.980><c> epistles,</c>

00:25:26.779 --> 00:25:30.319
where<00:25:26.920><c> he</c><00:25:27.160><c> now</c><00:25:27.740><c> exhorts</c><00:25:28.200><c> you</c><00:25:28.440><c> and</c><00:25:28.720><c> I</c><00:25:29.019><c> to</c><00:25:29.500><c> taste</c><00:25:29.880><c> and</c><00:25:30.220><c> see,</c>

00:25:30.339 --> 00:25:33.200
to<00:25:30.519><c> put</c><00:25:30.619><c> our</c><00:25:30.900><c> trust</c><00:25:31.420><c> in</c><00:25:32.859><c> God.</c>

00:25:33.380 --> 00:25:34.000
So<00:25:33.519><c> when</c><00:25:33.660><c> it</c><00:25:33.859><c> says,</c>

00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:35.880
The<00:25:34.160><c> eyes</c><00:25:34.480><c> of</c><00:25:34.660><c> the</c><00:25:34.799><c> Lord</c><00:25:34.920><c> are</c><00:25:35.180><c> upon</c><00:25:35.480><c> the</c><00:25:35.720><c> righteous,</c>

00:25:35.940 --> 00:25:38.859
this<00:25:36.180><c> is</c><00:25:36.259><c> talking</c><00:25:36.539><c> about</c><00:25:36.839><c> the</c><00:25:37.140><c> angelic</c><00:25:37.700><c> protection,</c>

00:25:39.740 --> 00:25:44.119
which<00:25:39.900><c> is</c><00:25:40.220><c> there</c><00:25:41.079><c> under</c><00:25:41.559><c> the</c><00:25:41.940><c> guidance</c><00:25:42.420><c> of</c><00:25:42.980><c> the</c><00:25:43.180><c> Father.</c>

00:25:44.619 --> 00:25:48.539
The<00:25:45.240><c> eyes</c><00:25:45.700><c> of</c><00:25:45.960><c> the</c><00:25:46.059><c> Lord</c><00:25:46.559><c> are</c><00:25:46.920><c> upon</c><00:25:47.220><c> the</c><00:25:47.440><c> righteous.</c>

00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.359
So<00:25:52.200><c> let's</c><00:25:52.440><c> see</c><00:25:52.680><c> how</c><00:25:52.900><c> this</c><00:25:53.819><c> works</c><00:25:54.319><c> out</c><00:25:54.640><c> then</c><00:25:54.940><c> in</c><00:25:55.380><c> the</c><00:25:55.640><c> Acts.</c>

00:25:56.799 --> 00:25:59.519
In<00:25:56.980><c> chapter</c><00:25:57.579><c> 26</c><00:25:58.500><c> of</c><00:25:58.960><c> Acts,</c>

00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:02.819
there's<00:26:00.099><c> a</c><00:26:00.240><c> very,</c><00:26:00.680><c> very</c><00:26:01.140><c> interesting</c><00:26:01.660><c> reference.</c>

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:07.839
The<00:26:04.720><c> Apostle</c><00:26:05.180><c> Paul</c><00:26:06.039><c> is</c><00:26:07.279><c> explaining</c>

what<00:26:08.039><c> has</c><00:26:08.400><c> happened</c><00:26:08.619><c> to</c><00:26:08.799><c> him</c><00:26:09.359><c> at</c><00:26:09.720><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:21.599
Acts<00:26:19.119><c> chapter</c><00:26:19.460><c> 26.</c>

00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:26.400
And<00:26:24.319><c> in</c><00:26:24.480><c> verse</c><00:26:24.660><c> 21</c><00:26:25.160><c> he</c><00:26:25.339><c> says,</c>

00:26:26.660 --> 00:26:31.079
For<00:26:26.839><c> these</c><00:26:27.380><c> causes</c><00:26:28.039><c> the</c><00:26:28.440><c> Jews</c><00:26:28.839><c> caught</c><00:26:29.440><c> me</c><00:26:29.940><c> in</c><00:26:30.119><c> the</c><00:26:30.380><c> temple</c>

00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:34.440
and<00:26:31.619><c> went</c><00:26:31.920><c> about</c><00:26:32.220><c> to</c><00:26:32.440><c> kill</c><00:26:32.660><c> me.</c>

00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:38.559
Having<00:26:35.140><c> therefore</c><00:26:35.700><c> obtained</c><00:26:36.500><c> help</c><00:26:37.140><c> of</c><00:26:37.460><c> God,</c>

00:26:38.700 --> 00:26:41.640
I<00:26:38.839><c> continue</c><00:26:39.619><c> unto</c><00:26:40.039><c> this</c><00:26:40.420><c> day,</c>

00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:44.059

and<00:26:46.859><c> Moses</c><00:26:47.599><c> did</c><00:26:48.019><c> say</c><00:26:48.359><c> should</c><00:26:48.660><c> come.</c>

00:26:51.220 --> 00:26:53.319
He's<00:26:51.539><c> referring</c><00:26:51.779><c> to</c><00:26:52.000><c> the</c><00:26:52.160><c> time</c><00:26:52.359><c> that</c><00:26:52.579><c> Jews</c><00:26:52.720><c> caught</c><00:26:53.039><c> him</c><00:26:53.160><c> in</c>

00:26:57.059 --> 00:26:59.299
but<00:26:57.619><c> he</c><00:26:57.980><c> was</c><00:26:58.259><c> delivered.</c>

00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:02.519

00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:52.980
But<00:29:49.960><c> no,</c><00:29:50.420><c> he</c><00:29:50.599><c> immediately</c><00:29:51.099><c> took</c><00:29:51.319><c> the</c><00:29:51.579><c> soldiers</c><00:29:51.880><c> and</c><00:29:52.160><c> sent</c><00:29:52.339><c> troops</c><00:29:52.519><c> and</c>

00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:56.619
If<00:29:54.180><c> he'd</c><00:29:54.519><c> walked,</c><00:29:54.980><c> Paul</c><00:29:54.980><c> would</c><00:29:55.180><c> have</c><00:29:55.319><c> been</c><00:29:55.599><c> dead.</c>

00:29:57.839 --> 00:29:59.660
But<00:29:58.039><c> he</c><00:29:58.180><c> was</c><00:29:58.339><c> in</c><00:29:58.500><c> a</c><00:29:58.660><c> hurry.</c>

00:30:02.460 --> 00:30:06.839

00:30:08.140 --> 00:30:10.220

00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:15.160
But<00:30:13.920><c> they</c><00:30:14.079><c> didn't.</c>

00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:17.980
They<00:30:15.700><c> saw</c><00:30:15.940><c> the</c><00:30:16.160><c> chief</c><00:30:16.380><c> captain</c><00:30:16.839><c> and</c><00:30:17.319><c> they</c><00:30:17.400><c> must</c><00:30:17.559><c> have</c><00:30:17.720><c> realized</c>

00:30:17.980 --> 00:30:21.559
if<00:30:18.160><c> we</c><00:30:18.299><c> kill</c><00:30:18.539><c> Paul</c><00:30:18.819><c> and</c><00:30:19.000><c> he</c><00:30:19.200><c> sees</c><00:30:19.440><c> us,</c><00:30:19.980><c> we're</c><00:30:20.180><c> in</c><00:30:20.380><c> big</c><00:30:20.599><c> trouble.</c>

So<00:30:21.759><c> you'd</c><00:30:22.019><c> better</c><00:30:22.039><c> let</c><00:30:22.220><c> him</c><00:30:22.420><c> go.</c>

00:30:24.980 --> 00:30:27.259

Ezra<00:34:51.719><c> and</c><00:34:51.860><c> Nehemiah</c><00:34:52.300><c> recognized</c><00:34:53.079><c> when</c><00:34:53.639><c> they</c><00:34:53.880><c> returned</c><00:34:54.260><c> to</c><00:34:54.500><c> build</c><00:34:54.699><c> the</c><00:34:54.880><c> house</c><00:34:55.139><c> of</c>

God<00:34:55.480><c> and</c><00:34:55.639><c> the</c><00:34:55.800><c> city</c><00:34:56.019><c> of</c><00:34:56.300><c> God.</c>

00:34:58.940 --> 00:35:01.340
So<00:34:59.159><c> we</c><00:34:59.340><c> can</c><00:34:59.579><c> walk</c><00:34:59.800><c> with</c><00:35:00.099><c> confidence.</c>

00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:05.360
Not<00:35:02.579><c> tempting</c><00:35:03.139><c> God,</c><00:35:03.760><c> we</c><00:35:03.900><c> will</c><00:35:04.119><c> not</c><00:35:04.400><c> tempt</c><00:35:04.800><c> God.</c>

00:35:05.860 --> 00:35:07.500
We<00:35:06.019><c> are</c><00:35:06.059><c> not</c><00:35:06.159><c> to</c><00:35:06.300><c> put</c><00:35:06.440><c> God</c><00:35:06.699><c> to</c><00:35:06.900><c> the</c><00:35:07.119><c> test.</c>

Let's<00:35:08.079><c> see</c><00:35:08.300><c> if</c><00:35:08.380><c> God</c><00:35:08.619><c> will</c><00:35:08.920><c> save</c><00:35:09.139><c> me</c><00:35:09.320><c> now</c><00:35:09.460><c> if</c><00:35:09.579><c> I</c><00:35:09.719><c> walk</c><00:35:09.900><c> down</c><00:35:10.119><c> that</c><00:35:10.400><c> road.</c>

00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:18.300
We<00:35:15.880><c> would</c><00:35:15.980><c> be</c><00:35:16.139><c> foolish</c><00:35:16.360><c> to</c><00:35:16.619><c> do</c><00:35:16.739><c> that,</c><00:35:17.119><c> wouldn't</c><00:35:17.119><c> we?</c>

00:54:36.599 --> 00:54:40.579
Oh,<00:54:36.960><c> six</c><00:54:39.019><c> weeks,</c><00:54:39.360><c> I</c><00:54:39.519><c> don't</c><00:54:39.679><c> know.</c>

00:54:45.420 --> 00:54:47.980
Once<00:54:45.679><c> a</c><00:54:45.840><c> week,</c><00:54:46.300><c> is</c><00:54:46.400><c> that</c><00:54:46.599><c> doing</c><00:54:46.840><c> them?</c>

Prayers,<00:54:50.019><c> okay,</c><00:54:50.400><c> what</c><00:54:50.960><c> should</c><00:54:51.079><c> I</c><00:54:51.380><c> say</c>

00:54:51.559 --> 00:54:53.139

00:54:53.400 --> 00:54:55.500
And<00:54:53.679><c> we</c><00:54:53.800><c> can</c><00:54:54.099><c> take</c><00:54:54.380><c> that</c><00:54:54.659><c> approach</c><00:54:55.019><c> to</c><00:54:55.239><c> the</c><00:54:55.360><c> truth,</c>

00:59:12.920 --> 00:59:16.139
We<00:59:13.300><c> wonder</c><00:59:13.619><c> whether</c><00:59:13.860><c> we</c><00:59:14.199><c> pay</c><00:59:14.360><c> sufficient</c><00:59:14.840><c> attention</c>

Of<00:59:17.920><c> course</c><00:59:18.219><c> we</c><00:59:18.460><c> have</c><00:59:19.000><c> a</c><00:59:19.219><c> second</c><00:59:19.500><c> series</c><00:59:19.860><c> of</c><00:59:20.119><c> studies</c>

00:59:24.039 --> 00:59:27.539

00:59:27.900 --> 00:59:30.199

There<00:59:40.500><c> certainly</c><00:59:40.820><c> will</c><00:59:41.019><c> be</c><00:59:41.280><c> trials</c><00:59:41.639><c> and</c><00:59:42.039><c> challenges.</c>
