00:17:31.539 --> 00:17:37.700
And<00:17:31.720><c> it's</c><00:17:31.859><c> difficult</c><00:17:32.400><c> to</c><00:17:32.759><c> find</c><00:17:33.019><c> out</c><00:17:33.500><c> who</c><00:17:33.839><c> these</c><00:17:34.259><c> people</c><00:17:34.799><c> are</c><00:17:35.140><c> descended</c><00:17:35.519><c> from,</c><00:17:36.359><c> because</c><00:17:36.519><c> the</c><00:17:36.680><c> only</c><00:17:36.880><c> name</c><00:17:37.039><c> that</c><00:17:37.440><c> I</c>

00:17:55.940 --> 00:18:01.640
So<00:17:56.160><c> we've</c><00:17:56.440><c> got</c><00:17:56.940><c> the</c><00:17:57.279><c> descendants</c><00:17:57.720><c> of</c><00:17:58.099><c> Shem</c><00:17:58.980><c> fighting</c><00:17:59.799><c> the</c><00:18:00.440><c> descendants</c><00:18:01.200><c> of</c>

00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:12.059

00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.160
That's<00:20:26.539><c> why</c><00:20:26.859><c> someone</c><00:20:27.200><c> was</c><00:20:27.440><c> asking</c><00:20:27.700><c> me</c><00:20:27.980><c> about,</c><00:20:28.559><c> did</c><00:20:28.700><c> Abraham</c>

00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:33.700
The<00:20:32.059><c> answer</c><00:20:32.279><c> is</c><00:20:32.420><c> yes,</c><00:20:32.599><c> he</c><00:20:32.759><c> did.</c>

00:20:34.259 --> 00:20:37.819

00:20:37.819 --> 00:20:42.000
Abraham<00:20:38.480><c> had</c><00:20:38.880><c> learned</c><00:20:39.259><c> from</c><00:20:39.940><c> Shem,</c><00:20:40.440><c> I</c><00:20:40.519><c> think,</c><00:20:41.240><c> about</c><00:20:41.660><c> God,</c>

00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.400
And<00:21:26.940><c> Abraham</c><00:21:27.140><c> says</c><00:21:27.359><c> to</c><00:21:27.539><c> the</c><00:21:27.599><c> king</c><00:21:27.799><c> of</c><00:21:28.019><c> Sodom,</c><00:21:28.980><c> I</c><00:21:29.819><c> have</c><00:21:30.140><c> lifted</c>

00:21:47.420 --> 00:21:49.960
Now,<00:21:48.119><c> what's</c><00:21:48.480><c> going</c><00:21:48.660><c> on</c><00:21:48.900><c> here?</c>

00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:57.119
Why<00:21:51.119><c> was</c><00:21:51.400><c> the</c><00:21:51.680><c> king</c><00:21:51.819><c> of</c><00:21:52.200><c> Sodom</c><00:21:53.119><c> so</c><00:21:54.880><c> interested</c><00:21:55.839><c> in</c><00:21:56.279><c> taking</c><00:21:56.660><c> all</c>

00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:05.339

00:22:08.619 --> 00:22:09.599
Yeah.

00:22:10.539 --> 00:22:12.400
Okay,<00:22:11.740><c> can</c><00:22:11.839><c> everybody</c><00:22:12.059><c> hear</c><00:22:12.240><c> that?</c>

00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:14.339
He<00:22:12.539><c> wants</c><00:22:12.880><c> Abraham's</c><00:22:13.460><c> loyalty.</c>

00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:15.640
That<00:22:14.660><c> might</c><00:22:14.960><c> be</c><00:22:15.180><c> one</c><00:22:15.460><c> thing.</c>

00:22:15.660 --> 00:22:18.500
He<00:22:15.799><c> sees</c><00:22:16.079><c> Abraham</c><00:22:16.500><c> here</c><00:22:16.759><c> as</c><00:22:17.039><c> a</c><00:22:17.259><c> great</c><00:22:17.460><c> fighting</c><00:22:18.000><c> man,</c>

00:22:18.940 --> 00:22:22.799
and<00:22:19.380><c> he</c><00:22:19.940><c> might</c><00:22:20.119><c> be</c><00:22:20.480><c> afraid</c><00:22:20.819><c> of</c><00:22:21.319><c> Abraham's</c><00:22:22.000><c> presence</c><00:22:22.220><c> in</c><00:22:22.420><c> the</c><00:22:22.579><c> land,</c>

00:22:22.819 --> 00:22:23.980
so<00:22:22.960><c> he's</c><00:22:23.079><c> going</c><00:22:23.220><c> to</c><00:22:23.400><c> buy</c><00:22:23.539><c> him</c><00:22:23.740><c> off.</c>

00:22:24.180 --> 00:22:25.599
Is<00:22:24.539><c> that</c><00:22:25.039><c> the</c><00:22:25.180><c> sort</c><00:22:25.319><c> of</c><00:22:25.460><c> idea?</c>

00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:26.819
That<00:22:25.640><c> might</c><00:22:26.400><c> be</c><00:22:26.660><c> true.</c>

00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:28.480
That<00:22:27.019><c> might</c><00:22:27.259><c> be</c><00:22:27.420><c> true,</c><00:22:27.519><c> yeah.</c>

00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:29.680
There's<00:22:28.640><c> another</c><00:22:28.839><c> reason.</c>

00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:34.019
Why<00:22:30.240><c> would</c><00:22:30.460><c> he</c><00:22:30.599><c> want</c><00:22:30.960><c> the</c><00:22:31.539><c> slaves</c><00:22:32.099><c> but</c><00:22:32.660><c> not</c><00:22:32.940><c> the</c><00:22:33.180><c> riches?</c>

00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:36.599
What<00:22:34.420><c> did</c><00:22:34.640><c> the</c><00:22:35.059><c> slaves</c><00:22:35.400><c> represent?</c>

00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:39.339
Yeah?

00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:45.819
Okay,<00:22:43.500><c> yeah,</c><00:22:43.720><c> there</c><00:22:43.819><c> were</c><00:22:44.700><c> slaves</c><00:22:45.279><c> in</c><00:22:45.539><c> Egypt.</c>

00:22:46.019 --> 00:22:48.220
There<00:22:46.180><c> is</c><00:22:46.420><c> a</c><00:22:46.599><c> link</c><00:22:46.759><c> there,</c><00:22:47.019><c> but</c><00:22:47.119><c> that's</c><00:22:47.400><c> not</c><00:22:47.740><c> quite</c><00:22:48.000><c> the</c><00:22:48.160><c> one</c>

00:22:48.220 --> 00:22:48.859
I'm<00:22:48.359><c> looking</c><00:22:48.619><c> for.</c>

00:22:48.900 --> 00:22:49.920
Someone<00:22:49.099><c> else?</c>

00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:43.519
We<00:33:40.539><c> look</c><00:33:40.640><c> at</c><00:33:40.799><c> the</c><00:33:40.900><c> name</c><00:33:41.000><c> Melchizedek,</c><00:33:42.720><c> and</c><00:33:43.039><c> we'll</c><00:33:43.160><c> come</c><00:33:43.359><c> back</c>

The<00:33:46.519><c> last</c><00:33:46.819><c> talk,</c><00:33:47.079><c> I</c><00:33:47.160><c> think,</c><00:33:47.380><c> when</c><00:33:47.519><c> we</c><00:33:47.640><c> look</c><00:33:47.779><c> at</c><00:33:48.000><c> Isaac,</c><00:33:50.519><c> because</c><00:33:50.880><c> that's</c>

00:33:51.099 --> 00:33:52.220

00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:47.739
was<00:34:47.460><c> king.</c>

00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:49.119
King<00:34:48.380><c> of</c><00:34:48.880><c> Salem.</c>

00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:53.179
It's<00:34:49.719><c> the</c><00:34:49.980><c> beginning</c><00:34:50.380><c> now</c><00:34:50.880><c> of</c><00:34:52.079><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:00.260
Yeah?

00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:10.800
We<00:35:04.519><c> don't</c><00:35:05.039><c> know.</c><00:35:05.619><c> It</c><00:35:05.619><c> says</c><00:35:05.960><c> Melchizedek</c><00:35:06.639><c> was</c><00:35:07.119><c> without</c><00:35:07.900><c> father,</c><00:35:08.539><c> without</c><00:35:08.920><c> mother,</c><00:35:09.579><c> without</c><00:35:09.900><c> end</c><00:35:10.179><c> of</c><00:35:10.440><c> days.</c>

00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:13.199
Now<00:35:11.139><c> clearly</c><00:35:11.420><c> he</c><00:35:11.539><c> was</c><00:35:11.719><c> a</c><00:35:11.900><c> man.</c><00:35:12.039><c> He</c><00:35:12.159><c> did</c><00:35:12.380><c> have</c><00:35:12.539><c> a</c><00:35:12.719><c> father</c><00:35:12.940><c> and</c><00:35:13.099><c> he</c>

00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:13.900

00:35:14.380 --> 00:35:16.800
What<00:35:14.539><c> it</c><00:35:14.980><c> means,</c><00:35:15.260><c> I</c><00:35:15.420><c> think,</c><00:35:15.699><c> is</c><00:35:15.840><c> Abraham</c><00:35:16.119><c> didn't</c><00:35:16.380><c> know</c><00:35:16.619><c> when</c>

00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:19.760
he<00:35:16.960><c> was</c><00:35:17.199><c> born,</c><00:35:18.280><c> who</c><00:35:18.599><c> his</c><00:35:18.840><c> parents</c><00:35:19.300><c> were,</c>

00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:22.400

00:35:23.260 --> 00:35:25.960
And<00:35:23.360><c> some</c><00:35:23.739><c> people</c><00:35:24.079><c> say</c><00:35:24.400><c> that</c><00:35:24.559><c> Melchizedek</c><00:35:25.079><c> was</c><00:35:25.360><c> Shem.</c>

00:35:26.219 --> 00:35:28.760
Some<00:35:26.400><c> people</c><00:35:26.659><c> say</c><00:35:26.880><c> that</c><00:35:27.039><c> Melchizedek</c><00:35:27.559><c> was</c><00:35:27.780><c> Eber.</c><00:35:27.960><c> We</c><00:35:28.139><c> don't</c><00:35:28.460><c> know.</c>

00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:30.920
The<00:35:29.099><c> Bible</c><00:35:29.380><c> deliberately</c><00:35:29.920><c> hides</c><00:35:30.219><c> it</c><00:35:30.480><c> from</c><00:35:30.679><c> us.</c>

00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:35.159
He's<00:35:31.659><c> a</c><00:35:31.800><c> type</c><00:35:31.980><c> of</c><00:35:32.159><c> the</c><00:35:32.320><c> Lord</c><00:35:32.500><c> Jesus.</c><00:35:32.860><c> He</c><00:35:33.000><c> just</c><00:35:33.239><c> appears</c><00:35:33.579><c> on</c><00:35:33.840><c> the</c><00:35:34.099><c> scene.</c>

00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:39.099
He's<00:35:35.460><c> without</c><00:35:36.519><c> antecedents.</c><00:35:37.380><c> He's</c><00:35:37.559><c> without</c><00:35:37.920><c> descendants.</c>

00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:41.239
He's<00:35:39.440><c> only</c><00:35:39.679><c> mentioned</c><00:35:40.059><c> three</c><00:35:40.360><c> times</c><00:35:40.679><c> in</c><00:35:40.940><c> scriptures.</c>

00:35:41.300 --> 00:35:45.280
There<00:35:41.480><c> in</c><00:35:41.619><c> Genesis</c><00:35:41.940><c> 14,</c><00:35:43.000><c> Psalm</c><00:35:43.159><c> 110,</c><00:35:43.840><c> and</c><00:35:44.139><c> here</c><00:35:44.400><c> in</c><00:35:44.780><c> the</c><00:35:44.920><c> letter</c><00:35:45.059><c> to</c>

00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:46.360
the<00:35:45.420><c> Hebrews.</c>

00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:48.679
Why<00:35:46.840><c> did</c><00:35:47.079><c> Abraham</c><00:35:47.500><c> respond</c><00:35:48.199><c> to</c><00:35:48.440><c> him?</c>

00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:52.480
Because<00:35:49.260><c> I</c><00:35:49.599><c> think</c><00:35:49.780><c> he</c><00:35:50.079><c> recognized</c><00:35:50.820><c> that</c><00:35:51.099><c> this</c><00:35:51.500><c> was</c><00:35:51.880><c> a</c><00:35:52.199><c> priest</c>

00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:54.500
of<00:35:52.800><c> the</c><00:35:53.059><c> most</c><00:35:53.599><c> high</c><00:35:54.059><c> God</c>

00:35:54.500 --> 00:35:57.380
and<00:35:54.980><c> that</c><00:35:55.139><c> he</c><00:35:55.239><c> could</c><00:35:55.420><c> have</c><00:35:55.719><c> fellowship</c><00:35:56.079><c> with</c><00:35:56.320><c> him.</c>

00:35:58.019 --> 00:36:02.119
The<00:35:58.159><c> only</c><00:35:58.340><c> one</c><00:35:58.480><c> he'd</c><00:35:58.699><c> met</c><00:35:58.840><c> in</c><00:35:59.820><c> the</c><00:36:00.000><c> land</c><00:36:00.159><c> of</c><00:36:00.460><c> Canaan</c><00:36:00.760><c> who</c><00:36:01.280><c> shared</c><00:36:01.679><c> those</c>

00:36:06.420 --> 00:36:12.519
And<00:36:06.679><c> so</c><00:36:06.960><c> God</c><00:36:07.239><c> now,</c><00:36:07.619><c> we</c><00:36:07.900><c> go</c><00:36:08.099><c> back</c><00:36:08.480><c> to</c><00:36:10.420><c> Genesis</c><00:36:10.940><c> in</c><00:36:11.139><c> chapter</c><00:36:11.400><c> 15,</c>

00:36:12.659 --> 00:36:16.019

00:36:16.019 --> 00:36:19.440
It's<00:36:16.460><c> another</c><00:36:16.820><c> great</c><00:36:17.340><c> test</c><00:36:17.699><c> of</c><00:36:17.960><c> Abraham's</c><00:36:18.579><c> faith.</c>

00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:23.320
Remember<00:36:20.019><c> this</c><00:36:20.280><c> talks</c><00:36:20.699><c> about</c><00:36:21.739><c> a</c><00:36:22.059><c> battle</c><00:36:22.400><c> and</c><00:36:22.760><c> a</c><00:36:23.000><c> blessing,</c>

00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:25.940
and<00:36:23.519><c> we've</c><00:36:23.760><c> looked</c><00:36:23.920><c> at</c><00:36:24.059><c> the</c><00:36:24.260><c> battle</c><00:36:24.619><c> and</c><00:36:25.139><c> how</c><00:36:25.280><c> it</c><00:36:25.400><c> was</c><00:36:25.579><c> a</c><00:36:25.739><c> test</c>

00:36:25.940 --> 00:36:26.980
of<00:36:26.179><c> Abraham's</c><00:36:26.840><c> faith.</c>

00:36:27.059 --> 00:36:29.340
Would<00:36:27.199><c> he</c><00:36:27.400><c> take</c><00:36:27.639><c> the</c><00:36:27.840><c> riches</c><00:36:28.059><c> for</c><00:36:28.260><c> himself?</c><00:36:28.760><c> No,</c><00:36:28.960><c> I</c><00:36:29.179><c> won't.</c>

00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:30.340
That's<00:36:29.659><c> not</c><00:36:29.840><c> God's</c><00:36:30.199><c> way.</c>

00:36:30.699 --> 00:36:33.739
God<00:36:30.940><c> blessed</c><00:36:31.360><c> him</c><00:36:31.739><c> through</c><00:36:32.440><c> Melchizedek.</c>

00:36:33.860 --> 00:36:39.280
And<00:36:34.039><c> if</c><00:36:34.159><c> you</c><00:36:34.320><c> go</c><00:36:34.420><c> on</c><00:36:34.579><c> down</c><00:36:34.760><c> to</c><00:36:34.960><c> chapter</c><00:36:35.300><c> 15,</c><00:36:37.619><c> God</c><00:36:37.860><c> appears</c><00:36:38.340><c> to</c><00:36:38.619><c> Abraham</c><00:36:39.019><c> in</c><00:36:39.139><c> a</c>

God<00:36:46.760><c> will</c><00:36:47.199><c> reward</c><00:36:47.480><c> him.</c>

00:36:48.260 --> 00:36:50.440
The<00:36:48.300><c> king</c><00:36:48.519><c> of</c><00:36:48.699><c> Sodom</c><00:36:48.960><c> had</c><00:36:49.099><c> wanted</c><00:36:49.340><c> to</c><00:36:49.599><c> reward</c><00:36:49.780><c> him,</c><00:36:49.980><c> hadn't</c><00:36:50.159><c> he?</c>

00:36:50.780 --> 00:36:52.800
Give<00:36:50.900><c> me</c><00:36:51.119><c> the</c><00:36:51.320><c> persons</c><00:36:51.619><c> and</c><00:36:51.780><c> take</c><00:36:52.000><c> the</c><00:36:52.179><c> goods</c><00:36:52.300><c> to</c><00:36:52.519><c> yourself.</c>

00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:55.960
That's<00:36:53.480><c> the</c><00:36:53.880><c> spoil</c><00:36:54.119><c> that</c><00:36:54.340><c> you</c><00:36:54.480><c> can</c><00:36:54.679><c> have</c><00:36:54.820><c> from</c><00:36:55.019><c> the</c><00:36:55.179><c> battle.</c>

00:36:56.039 --> 00:36:57.760
Abraham<00:36:56.239><c> says,</c><00:36:56.539><c> no,</c><00:36:56.739><c> I'm</c><00:36:56.780><c> not</c><00:36:57.000><c> going</c><00:36:57.139><c> to</c><00:36:57.340><c> take</c><00:36:57.519><c> it.</c>

00:36:57.980 --> 00:37:01.760
I<00:36:58.239><c> worship</c><00:36:58.739><c> the</c><00:36:59.539><c> most</c><00:36:59.860><c> high</c><00:37:00.039><c> God</c><00:37:00.300><c> who</c><00:37:00.579><c> possesses</c><00:37:01.340><c> not</c><00:37:01.539><c> just</c>

00:37:11.179 --> 00:37:14.440
The<00:37:11.659><c> word</c><00:37:12.059><c> of</c><00:37:12.260><c> the</c><00:37:12.280><c> Lord</c><00:37:12.559><c> came</c><00:37:12.880><c> to</c><00:37:13.000><c> him</c><00:37:13.159><c> in</c><00:37:13.300><c> a</c><00:37:13.380><c> vision,</c><00:37:13.940><c> saying,</c>
