00:00:05.980 --> 00:00:11.000
We<00:00:05.980><c> have,</c><00:00:06.740><c> I</c><00:00:07.320><c> have</c><00:00:07.540><c> previously</c><00:00:08.439><c> dealt</c><00:00:09.560><c> with</c><00:00:10.119><c> some</c><00:00:10.359><c> aspects</c><00:00:10.800><c> of</c>

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:12.500
the<00:00:11.119><c> Book</c><00:00:11.300><c> of</c><00:00:11.500><c> Proverbs</c>

00:00:12.619 --> 00:00:15.900

00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:19.359
Probably<00:00:16.760><c> everybody's</c><00:00:17.359><c> forgotten</c><00:00:17.640><c> all</c><00:00:17.800><c> of</c><00:00:17.920><c> much</c><00:00:18.079><c> as</c><00:00:18.300><c> I</c><00:00:18.519><c> have.</c>

00:00:19.699 --> 00:00:20.699
So<00:00:19.760><c> you've</c><00:00:20.039><c> got</c><00:00:20.160><c> my</c><00:00:20.460><c> feelings.</c>

00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:22.620
You<00:00:21.339><c> have?</c><00:00:21.660><c> That's</c><00:00:22.179><c> very</c><00:00:22.379><c> good.</c>

00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:24.500
You<00:00:23.100><c> know</c><00:00:23.339><c> the</c><00:00:23.480><c> last</c><00:00:23.660><c> questions,</c><00:00:24.339><c> don't</c><00:00:24.339><c> you?</c>

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:26.719
Good,<00:00:25.260><c> good.</c>

00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:31.199
And<00:00:28.640><c> I'm</c><00:00:29.239><c> taking</c><00:00:29.519><c> a</c><00:00:29.920><c> somewhat</c><00:00:30.120><c> different</c><00:00:30.440><c> approach</c><00:00:30.780><c> this</c><00:00:31.039><c> time.</c>

00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.780
Some<00:00:31.440><c> of</c><00:00:31.559><c> the</c><00:00:31.699><c> material</c><00:00:32.020><c> will</c><00:00:32.340><c> obviously</c><00:00:32.740><c> be</c><00:00:32.979><c> the</c><00:00:33.140><c> same,</c>

00:00:34.219 --> 00:00:37.219
because<00:00:34.219><c> there</c><00:00:34.799><c> are</c><00:00:34.939><c> some</c><00:00:35.140><c> things</c><00:00:35.359><c> that</c><00:00:35.619><c> simply</c><00:00:35.880><c> don't</c><00:00:36.079><c> change.</c>

00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.200
But<00:00:38.119><c> I'm</c><00:00:38.579><c> looking</c><00:00:38.859><c> at</c><00:00:39.079><c> things</c><00:00:39.320><c> from</c><00:00:39.640><c> a</c><00:00:39.700><c> slightly</c><00:00:39.960><c> different</c><00:00:40.200><c> angle.</c>

00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:46.439
And<00:00:41.700><c> this</c><00:00:41.920><c> is</c><00:00:42.200><c> why</c><00:00:42.420><c> I</c><00:00:42.679><c> stand</c><00:00:42.939><c> off</c><00:00:43.219><c> in</c><00:00:44.299><c> Job</c><00:00:44.520><c> chapter</c><00:00:44.920><c> 28</c><00:00:45.380><c> tonight.</c>

00:00:52.299 --> 00:00:54.479
that<00:00:52.659><c> God</c><00:00:53.100><c> knows</c><00:00:53.500><c> everything.</c>

00:00:54.899 --> 00:01:01.320
That<00:00:55.619><c> God's</c><00:00:56.340><c> wisdom</c><00:00:57.000><c> is</c><00:00:59.579><c> unsearchable.</c>

00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:07.760
That<00:01:01.960><c> he</c><00:01:02.280><c> has</c><00:01:02.560><c> done</c><00:01:02.820><c> things</c><00:01:03.280><c> that</c><00:01:04.540><c> are</c><00:01:05.640><c> simple</c><00:01:06.000><c> for</c><00:01:06.239><c> him</c><00:01:06.640><c> and</c>

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.159
very<00:01:08.260><c> deep</c><00:01:08.579><c> and</c><00:01:09.040><c> incomprehensible</c><00:01:09.939><c> for</c><00:01:10.180><c> us.</c>

00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:16.019
And<00:01:11.840><c> we</c><00:01:12.019><c> can't</c><00:01:12.359><c> understand</c><00:01:13.060><c> all</c><00:01:13.340><c> of</c><00:01:13.560><c> the</c><00:01:13.819><c> things</c><00:01:13.859><c> that</c><00:01:14.739><c> we</c><00:01:15.340><c> perhaps</c><00:01:15.659><c> should</c><00:01:15.840><c> be</c>

00:01:32.859 --> 00:01:37.799

00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:42.780
It's<00:01:38.359><c> a</c><00:01:38.439><c> path</c><00:01:38.780><c> which</c><00:01:39.099><c> no</c><00:01:39.840><c> fowler,</c><00:01:40.620><c> the</c><00:01:40.780><c> vulture's</c><00:01:41.379><c> eyes</c><00:01:41.859><c> haven't</c><00:01:42.579><c> seen</c>

00:10:24.980 --> 00:10:26.139
But<00:10:25.179><c> God</c><00:10:25.360><c> knows</c><00:10:25.720><c> it.</c>

00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.080

00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.019
Because<00:10:28.840><c> he</c><00:10:29.039><c> looks</c><00:10:29.259><c> to</c><00:10:29.440><c> the</c><00:10:29.559><c> ends</c><00:10:29.759><c> of</c><00:10:29.980><c> the</c><00:10:30.139><c> earth</c><00:10:30.320><c> and</c><00:10:30.539><c> he</c><00:10:30.759><c> sees</c>

00:10:48.179 --> 00:10:51.720
And<00:10:48.500><c> I</c><00:10:48.759><c> calculated</c><00:10:49.379><c> the</c><00:10:49.659><c> amount</c><00:10:50.039><c> of</c><00:10:50.360><c> weight</c><00:10:50.620><c> in</c><00:10:50.940><c> the</c><00:10:51.159><c> clouds</c>

00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:45.480

And<00:12:18.720><c> so</c><00:12:18.899><c> that</c><00:12:19.120><c> really</c><00:12:19.600><c> is</c><00:12:19.899><c> our</c><00:12:20.100><c> introduction</c><00:12:20.720><c> to</c><00:12:21.600><c> the</c><00:12:21.700><c> book</c><00:12:21.899><c> of</c><00:12:22.139><c> Proverbs.</c>

00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.120
So<00:12:23.559><c> return</c><00:12:23.899><c> now</c><00:12:24.159><c> to</c><00:12:24.340><c> Proverbs</c><00:12:24.659><c> chapter</c><00:12:24.980><c> 1.</c>

00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:29.720
That's<00:12:26.799><c> interesting</c><00:12:27.100><c> about</c><00:12:27.480><c> that,</c><00:12:27.679><c> the</c><00:12:27.840><c> fear</c><00:12:27.840><c> of</c><00:12:29.019><c> the</c><00:12:29.340><c> Lord,</c>

00:12:30.139 --> 00:12:31.980
the<00:12:30.480><c> fear</c><00:12:30.480><c> of</c><00:12:30.480><c> Yahweh,</c><00:12:30.960><c> the</c><00:12:31.059><c> fear</c><00:12:31.100><c> of</c><00:12:31.200><c> your</c><00:12:31.320><c> wisdom,</c>

00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:34.259
because<00:12:32.379><c> you're</c><00:12:32.539><c> about</c><00:12:32.659><c> to</c><00:12:32.799><c> say</c><00:12:32.960><c> Proverbs</c><00:12:33.399><c> begins</c><00:12:33.879><c> with</c><00:12:34.159><c> that,</c>

00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:36.720
not<00:12:34.539><c> even</c><00:12:35.320><c> completely</c><00:12:35.659><c> actually</c><00:12:35.919><c> sort</c><00:12:36.200><c> of</c><00:12:36.279><c> ends</c><00:12:36.419><c> with</c><00:12:36.620><c> that,</c>

00:12:36.899 --> 00:12:37.600
doesn't<00:12:36.899><c> it?</c>

00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:40.679
It's<00:12:38.220><c> the</c><00:12:38.279><c> whole</c><00:12:38.539><c> of</c><00:12:38.700><c> man,</c><00:12:38.980><c> fear</c><00:12:39.120><c> God,</c><00:12:39.720><c> and</c><00:12:39.960><c> it</c><00:12:40.100><c> keeps</c><00:12:40.139><c> coming</c><00:12:40.419><c> up.</c>

00:12:41.100 --> 00:12:46.720
It's<00:12:41.600><c> actually</c><00:12:42.000><c> a</c><00:12:42.580><c> very</c><00:12:43.039><c> common</c><00:12:43.419><c> theme</c><00:12:43.919><c> in</c><00:12:44.720><c> the</c><00:12:44.860><c> Old</c><00:12:45.039><c> Testament</c><00:12:45.419><c> in</c><00:12:45.759><c> particular.</c>

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:56.259
You<00:12:47.399><c> see</c><00:12:47.759><c> this</c><00:12:48.340><c> as</c><00:12:49.200><c> the</c><00:12:53.399><c> beginning</c><00:12:53.799><c> and</c><00:12:54.059><c> ending</c><00:12:54.440><c> of</c><00:12:55.220><c> faith.</c>

00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.720
But<00:12:58.159><c> there</c><00:12:59.460><c> is</c><00:13:00.960><c> a</c><00:13:01.059><c> conundrum</c><00:13:01.539><c> here,</c><00:13:02.360><c> or</c><00:13:02.600><c> a</c><00:13:02.659><c> paradox,</c>

00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:08.259
and<00:13:05.000><c> we'll</c><00:13:05.200><c> see</c><00:13:05.440><c> that</c><00:13:05.620><c> in</c><00:13:05.720><c> a</c><00:13:05.879><c> moment,</c><00:13:06.200><c> how</c><00:13:06.480><c> puzzling</c><00:13:07.000><c> it</c><00:13:07.220><c> is.</c>

00:13:09.539 --> 00:13:13.899
The<00:13:09.779><c> fear</c><00:13:10.059><c> of</c><00:13:10.360><c> Yahweh</c><00:13:11.139><c> is</c><00:13:11.860><c> the</c><00:13:12.100><c> beginning</c><00:13:12.519><c> of</c><00:13:12.799><c> wisdom.</c>

00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:15.919
Now,<00:13:15.039><c> hang</c><00:13:15.039><c> on.</c>

00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:18.139
Why<00:13:16.620><c> fear</c><00:13:16.980><c> Yahweh?</c>

00:13:18.899 --> 00:13:21.039
Well,<00:13:19.259><c> fear</c><00:13:19.559><c> is</c><00:13:19.879><c> reverence.</c>

00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:23.200
Why<00:13:21.480><c> do</c><00:13:21.700><c> you</c><00:13:21.860><c> revere</c><00:13:22.340><c> him?</c>

00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:29.580
Because<00:13:27.200><c> he</c><00:13:27.620><c> is</c><00:13:27.679><c> of</c><00:13:27.940><c> the</c><00:13:28.179><c> fear</c><00:13:28.440><c> of</c><00:13:28.779><c> the</c><00:13:28.899><c> Lord.</c>

00:13:29.620 --> 00:13:32.799
Yes,<00:13:30.779><c> but</c><00:13:30.879><c> how</c><00:13:31.159><c> do</c><00:13:31.279><c> you</c><00:13:31.519><c> know</c><00:13:31.840><c> that?</c>

00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.240
He<00:13:33.820><c> first</c><00:13:34.039><c> had</c><00:13:34.220><c> wisdom.</c>

00:13:35.379 --> 00:13:38.659
The<00:13:35.679><c> first</c><00:13:35.940><c> guy</c><00:13:36.200><c> had</c><00:13:36.419><c> wisdom,</c><00:13:37.299><c> that's</c><00:13:37.519><c> right.</c>

00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:40.620
Yeah.

00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:42.700
See?

00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:46.799
And<00:13:43.440><c> we'll</c><00:13:43.659><c> look</c><00:13:43.820><c> at</c><00:13:43.919><c> that</c><00:13:44.620><c> in</c><00:13:44.799><c> a</c><00:13:44.799><c> little</c><00:13:45.159><c> more</c><00:13:45.340><c> detail</c><00:13:45.659><c> in</c><00:13:45.820><c> a</c><00:13:45.919><c> moment.</c>

00:13:47.379 --> 00:13:49.639
You've<00:13:47.580><c> got</c><00:13:47.620><c> to</c><00:13:47.720><c> have</c><00:13:47.840><c> something</c><00:13:48.159><c> to</c><00:13:48.419><c> start</c><00:13:48.639><c> with.</c>

00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.539
And<00:13:51.840><c> you</c><00:13:52.340><c> have</c><00:13:53.340><c> to</c><00:13:53.539><c> keep</c><00:13:53.700><c> the</c><00:13:53.860><c> place</c><00:13:54.039><c> here</c><00:13:54.220><c> in</c><00:13:54.440><c> Proverbs.</c>

00:13:54.659 --> 00:13:56.480
Well,<00:13:54.779><c> we</c><00:13:54.919><c> haven't</c><00:13:55.019><c> really</c><00:13:55.279><c> started</c><00:13:55.500><c> in</c><00:13:55.659><c> Proverbs</c><00:13:56.039><c> one</c><00:13:56.240><c> yet,</c>

00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:04.360
but<00:13:56.879><c> we'll</c><00:13:57.179><c> go</c><00:13:57.399><c> to</c><00:13:57.600><c> Ecclesiastes,</c><00:14:02.580><c> Chapter</c><00:14:03.000><c> 3.</c>

00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:11.539
So<00:14:06.179><c> much</c><00:14:06.500><c> of</c><00:14:06.659><c> this</c><00:14:06.879><c> is</c><00:14:07.139><c> all</c><00:14:07.440><c> related</c><00:14:07.980><c> through</c><00:14:08.840><c> Proverbs</c><00:14:09.259><c> and</c><00:14:09.440><c> Ecclesiastes.</c>

00:14:13.539 --> 00:14:17.240
In<00:14:13.679><c> Verse</c><00:14:13.940><c> 11,</c><00:14:14.600><c> the</c><00:14:14.820><c> translation</c><00:14:15.480><c> in</c><00:14:15.740><c> the</c><00:14:15.940><c> Authorised</c><00:14:16.299><c> Version</c><00:14:16.679><c> is</c><00:14:17.120><c> a</c>

00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:18.360
little<00:14:17.500><c> defective,</c>

00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.940
and<00:14:19.059><c> I'll</c><00:14:19.279><c> tell</c><00:14:19.440><c> you</c><00:14:19.539><c> what</c><00:14:19.720><c> it</c><00:14:19.919><c> should</c><00:14:20.139><c> read.</c>

00:14:21.220 --> 00:14:24.759
It<00:14:21.340><c> says,</c><00:14:21.720><c> He</c><00:14:21.740><c> hath</c><00:14:22.139><c> made</c><00:14:22.399><c> everything</c><00:14:22.980><c> beautiful</c><00:14:23.539><c> in</c><00:14:24.159><c> His</c><00:14:24.460><c> time.</c>

00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:26.559
That<00:14:24.940><c> is,</c><00:14:25.340><c> God's</c><00:14:25.679><c> creation.</c>

00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:29.240
Also,<00:14:27.279><c> He</c><00:14:27.480><c> hath</c><00:14:27.720><c> set</c><00:14:27.840><c> the</c><00:14:28.179><c> world</c><00:14:28.340><c> in</c><00:14:28.559><c> their</c><00:14:28.840><c> heart</c>

00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:33.200
so<00:14:29.620><c> that</c><00:14:29.879><c> no</c><00:14:30.120><c> man</c><00:14:30.320><c> can</c><00:14:30.600><c> find</c><00:14:30.820><c> out</c><00:14:31.100><c> the</c><00:14:31.259><c> work</c><00:14:31.440><c> that</c><00:14:31.659><c> God</c><00:14:31.879><c> made</c><00:14:32.220><c> from</c><00:14:32.539><c> the</c><00:14:32.740><c> beginning</c><00:14:32.980><c> to</c>

00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:33.759
the<00:14:33.360><c> end.</c>

00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:38.639
Now,<00:14:34.779><c> the</c><00:14:34.960><c> word</c><00:14:35.120><c> world</c><00:14:36.399><c> should</c><00:14:36.899><c> be</c><00:14:37.299><c> eternity.</c>

00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.320
God<00:14:39.799><c> has</c><00:14:40.100><c> set</c><00:14:40.279><c> eternity</c><00:14:41.139><c> in</c><00:14:41.879><c> their</c><00:14:42.179><c> heart.</c>

00:14:43.700 --> 00:14:48.360
And<00:14:44.000><c> so</c><00:14:44.379><c> that</c><00:14:45.000><c> should</c><00:14:45.340><c> be</c><00:14:45.639><c> translated</c><00:14:46.419><c> without</c><00:14:47.399><c> wish.</c>

00:14:50.059 --> 00:14:52.120
So<00:14:50.740><c> it</c><00:14:50.799><c> should</c><00:14:51.139><c> read</c><00:14:51.299><c> this</c><00:14:51.639><c> way.</c>

00:14:52.580 --> 00:14:56.279
God<00:14:53.000><c> has</c><00:14:53.440><c> set</c><00:14:53.740><c> eternity</c><00:14:54.580><c> in</c><00:14:54.980><c> the</c><00:14:55.220><c> heart</c><00:14:55.460><c> of</c><00:14:55.700><c> man</c>

00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:00.980
without<00:14:57.179><c> which</c><00:14:57.519><c> no</c><00:14:58.879><c> man</c><00:14:59.159><c> can</c><00:14:59.399><c> find</c><00:14:59.659><c> out</c><00:14:59.919><c> the</c><00:15:00.000><c> work</c><00:15:00.220><c> that</c><00:15:00.440><c> God</c>

00:15:00.980 --> 00:15:04.000
maketh<00:15:01.460><c> from</c><00:15:01.840><c> the</c><00:15:02.139><c> beginning</c><00:15:02.379><c> to</c><00:15:02.600><c> the</c><00:15:02.879><c> end.</c>

00:15:05.659 --> 00:15:11.700
That<00:15:05.860><c> eternity</c><00:15:06.360><c> in</c><00:15:06.679><c> the</c><00:15:06.820><c> heart</c><00:15:07.460><c> is</c><00:15:08.980><c> not</c><00:15:09.220><c> only</c><00:15:09.539><c> a</c><00:15:09.940><c> longing</c><00:15:10.460><c> for</c>

00:15:11.700 --> 00:15:13.259
eternal<00:15:12.059><c> life,</c>

00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:22.419
but<00:15:14.519><c> it's</c><00:15:15.000><c> some</c><00:15:15.700><c> sense</c><00:15:16.659><c> that</c><00:15:18.179><c> God</c><00:15:18.539><c> is</c><00:15:18.820><c> in</c><00:15:19.100><c> control</c><00:15:20.000><c> and</c><00:15:21.639><c> can</c>

00:15:22.419 --> 00:15:24.440
provide<00:15:23.279><c> eternal</c><00:15:23.860><c> life.</c>

00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:27.220
That's<00:15:25.139><c> what</c><00:15:25.340><c> that</c><00:15:25.600><c> verse</c><00:15:25.759><c> is</c><00:15:25.960><c> all</c><00:15:26.139><c> about.</c>

00:15:28.299 --> 00:15:31.059

00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:13.679

00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.600
And<00:16:22.919><c> obviously</c><00:16:23.480><c> He</c><00:16:23.759><c> would</c><00:16:23.980><c> not</c><00:16:24.200><c> do</c><00:16:24.399><c> it</c><00:16:24.539><c> for</c><00:16:24.720><c> nothing.</c>

00:16:26.179 --> 00:16:27.860
He<00:16:26.399><c> would</c><00:16:26.600><c> have</c><00:16:26.820><c> a</c><00:16:26.860><c> purpose.</c>

00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:31.840
And<00:16:29.059><c> just</c><00:16:29.259><c> with</c><00:16:29.440><c> that</c><00:16:29.639><c> thought,</c><00:16:29.840><c> that's</c><00:16:30.159><c> eternity</c><00:16:30.519><c> in</c><00:16:30.740><c> your</c><00:16:30.940><c> heart.</c>

00:16:32.220 --> 00:16:37.159
With<00:16:32.399><c> that</c><00:16:32.679><c> thought</c><00:16:32.919><c> in</c><00:16:33.200><c> your</c><00:16:33.460><c> mind,</c><00:16:35.000><c> you</c><00:16:35.139><c> then</c><00:16:35.519><c> have</c><00:16:36.000><c> a</c><00:16:36.279><c> groundwork</c><00:16:36.860><c> to</c>

00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:38.179
start<00:16:37.379><c> on.</c>

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:43.820
So,<00:16:41.899><c> we're</c><00:16:41.980><c> going</c><00:16:42.080><c> to</c><00:16:42.200><c> the</c><00:16:42.399><c> problems</c><00:16:42.759><c> now.</c>

00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:50.720
And<00:16:44.440><c> I</c><00:16:44.799><c> suggest</c><00:16:45.159><c> that</c><00:16:45.559><c> chapters</c><00:16:45.940><c> 1</c><00:16:46.700><c> to</c><00:16:47.039><c> 4</c><00:16:47.879><c> could</c><00:16:48.679><c> really</c><00:16:49.019><c> be</c><00:16:49.179><c> read</c><00:16:49.360><c> without</c><00:16:49.659><c> a</c><00:16:49.919><c> break.</c>

00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:53.860
The<00:16:51.620><c> chapter</c><00:16:51.799><c> breaks</c><00:16:52.120><c> are</c><00:16:52.379><c> very</c><00:16:52.700><c> arbitrary,</c>

00:16:55.019 --> 00:17:01.960
and<00:16:55.720><c> it</c><00:16:56.399><c> flows</c><00:16:57.240><c> beautifully</c><00:16:58.440><c> without</c><00:16:59.919><c> any</c><00:17:00.299><c> break</c><00:17:00.559><c> between</c><00:17:01.139><c> the</c><00:17:01.399><c> beginning</c><00:17:01.679><c> of</c>

00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:14.359
Even<00:17:06.079><c> the</c><00:17:06.380><c> first</c><00:17:06.759><c> couple</c><00:17:08.900><c> of</c><00:17:09.119><c> verses</c><00:17:09.380><c> of</c><00:17:11.039><c> chapter</c><00:17:11.480><c> 5</c><00:17:12.119><c> really</c><00:17:12.940><c> belong</c><00:17:13.299><c> with</c><00:17:13.640><c> chapter</c><00:17:13.940><c> 4</c>

00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:15.900
as<00:17:14.680><c> well.</c>

00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:21.680
Anyway,<00:17:17.240><c> let's</c><00:17:17.539><c> look</c><00:17:17.940><c> at</c><00:17:18.039><c> what</c><00:17:18.319><c> Solomon</c><00:17:18.720><c> is</c><00:17:20.220><c> saying</c><00:17:20.660><c> here.</c>

00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:24.880
Solomon,<00:17:22.579><c> just</c><00:17:22.819><c> like</c><00:17:23.059><c> he</c><00:17:23.180><c> did</c><00:17:23.380><c> in</c><00:17:23.579><c> Ecclesiastes,</c>

00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:28.319
Solomon<00:17:25.420><c> didn't</c><00:17:25.859><c> sit</c><00:17:26.119><c> down</c><00:17:26.460><c> and</c><00:17:26.640><c> write</c><00:17:27.059><c> without</c><00:17:27.759><c> a</c><00:17:28.019><c> purpose</c>

00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:28.980
in<00:17:28.640><c> mind.</c>

00:17:28.980 --> 00:17:34.680
In<00:17:29.980><c> Ecclesiastes,</c><00:17:30.779><c> he</c><00:17:30.920><c> set</c><00:17:31.140><c> out</c><00:17:31.460><c> to</c><00:17:32.140><c> work</c><00:17:32.420><c> out</c><00:17:33.359><c> what</c><00:17:34.259><c> life</c><00:17:34.519><c> is</c>

00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:35.880
all<00:17:34.880><c> about.</c>

00:17:36.579 --> 00:17:38.759
What's<00:17:36.920><c> the</c><00:17:37.059><c> purpose</c><00:17:37.460><c> of</c><00:17:37.799><c> life?</c>

00:17:39.619 --> 00:17:44.519
And<00:17:39.759><c> is</c><00:17:40.000><c> there</c><00:17:40.200><c> any</c><00:17:41.039><c> value</c><00:17:41.440><c> in</c><00:17:41.619><c> that</c><00:17:42.019><c> without</c><00:17:42.359><c> God</c><00:17:42.759><c> being</c><00:17:43.119><c> taken</c><00:17:43.380><c> into</c><00:17:43.640><c> account?</c>

00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.059
That's<00:17:45.720><c> basically</c><00:17:46.160><c> what</c><00:17:46.400><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:17:47.039><c> is</c><00:17:47.279><c> about.</c>

And<00:18:41.400><c> then</c><00:18:41.539><c> he's</c><00:18:41.700><c> saying</c><00:18:41.980><c> again,</c><00:18:42.400><c> I</c><00:18:42.640><c> wrote</c><00:18:42.940><c> this</c><00:18:43.299><c> to</c><00:18:43.640><c> understand,</c>

00:18:45.700 --> 00:18:48.400
the<00:18:45.740><c> Proverb</c><00:18:46.000><c> and</c><00:18:46.220><c> the</c><00:18:46.380><c> interpretation,</c><00:18:47.539><c> the</c><00:18:47.660><c> words</c><00:18:47.940><c> of</c><00:18:48.200><c> the</c>

00:18:51.339 --> 00:18:54.220
So<00:18:52.079><c> this</c><00:18:52.380><c> is</c><00:18:52.619><c> his</c><00:18:52.759><c> objective.</c>

00:18:55.000 --> 00:19:01.319
In<00:18:55.059><c> verses</c><00:18:55.420><c> 1</c><00:18:55.740><c>-6,</c><00:18:56.759><c> his</c><00:18:56.799><c> objective</c><00:18:57.559><c> is</c><00:18:58.720><c> to</c><00:18:59.779><c> make</c><00:19:00.279><c> it</c><00:19:00.539><c> possible</c>

00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:09.079
But<00:19:05.539><c> you'll</c><00:19:05.759><c> notice</c><00:19:06.359><c> now</c><00:19:06.880><c> this</c><00:19:07.720><c> paradox,</c>

00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:16.619
because<00:19:11.680><c> in</c><00:19:12.180><c> verse</c><00:19:12.500><c> 4,</c><00:19:14.400><c> he</c><00:19:14.539><c> says</c><00:19:14.759><c> he</c><00:19:14.880><c> wants</c><00:19:15.180><c> to</c><00:19:15.359><c> give</c><00:19:15.700><c> subtlety</c>

00:19:19.819 --> 00:19:22.579
But<00:19:20.400><c> then</c><00:19:20.559><c> he</c><00:19:20.680><c> says</c><00:19:20.859><c> a</c><00:19:21.180><c> wise</c><00:19:21.420><c> man</c><00:19:21.619><c> will</c><00:19:21.900><c> hear.</c>

00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:28.339
These<00:19:24.339><c> are</c><00:19:24.500><c> one</c><00:19:24.640><c> and</c><00:19:24.759><c> the</c><00:19:24.940><c> same</c><00:19:25.140><c> person,</c><00:19:26.599><c> the</c><00:19:26.880><c> simple</c><00:19:27.180><c> and</c><00:19:28.059><c> the</c>

wise<00:19:28.599><c> man.</c>

00:19:30.299 --> 00:19:32.319
They<00:19:30.440><c> are</c><00:19:30.519><c> one</c><00:19:30.700><c> and</c><00:19:30.920><c> the</c><00:19:31.039><c> same.</c>

00:19:32.660 --> 00:19:43.019
Now<00:19:32.880><c> the</c><00:19:33.019><c> simple</c><00:19:33.640><c> is</c><00:19:35.920><c> a</c><00:19:36.420><c> person</c><00:19:36.859><c> who</c><00:19:37.339><c> is</c><00:19:41.579><c> seducible.</c>

00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:46.819
They<00:19:44.779><c> are</c><00:19:44.920><c> silly,</c><00:19:45.880><c> is</c><00:19:46.099><c> the</c><00:19:46.099><c> primary</c><00:19:46.460><c> meaning.</c>

00:19:46.819 --> 00:19:49.279
The<00:19:47.799><c> person</c><00:19:48.140><c> is</c><00:19:48.420><c> silly.</c>

00:19:50.180 --> 00:19:55.240
And<00:19:50.480><c> that's</c><00:19:50.940><c> no</c><00:19:51.220><c> different</c><00:19:51.500><c> to</c><00:19:51.619><c> what</c><00:19:51.779><c> Paul</c><00:19:52.059><c> says</c><00:19:52.640><c> about</c><00:19:53.660><c> those</c><00:19:54.079><c> who,</c>

00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:04.819
If<00:20:01.259><c> you</c><00:20:01.640><c> look</c><00:20:01.859><c> at,</c><00:20:02.579><c> and</c><00:20:03.539><c> please</c><00:20:03.940><c> keep</c><00:20:04.059><c> the</c><00:20:04.299><c> place</c><00:20:04.480><c> here,</c><00:20:04.779><c> we're</c>

00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:26.099
In<00:20:19.079><c> Psalm</c><00:20:19.240><c> 19</c><00:20:19.799><c> and</c><00:20:20.279><c> verse</c><00:20:20.559><c> 7,</c><00:20:23.960><c> we</c><00:20:24.099><c> read</c><00:20:24.240><c> that</c><00:20:24.500><c> the</c><00:20:24.660><c> law</c><00:20:24.960><c> of</c><00:20:25.279><c> Yahweh</c><00:20:25.619><c> is</c>

00:20:29.859 --> 00:20:35.579
The<00:20:30.000><c> testimony</c><00:20:30.619><c> of</c><00:20:31.019><c> Yahweh</c><00:20:31.460><c> is</c><00:20:31.900><c> sure,</c><00:20:32.960><c> making</c><00:20:33.400><c> wise</c><00:20:34.180><c> the</c><00:20:34.579><c> simple.</c>

That<00:20:36.519><c> is,</c><00:20:37.200><c> the</c><00:20:37.319><c> silly,</c><00:20:38.539><c> or</c><00:20:38.839><c> the</c><00:20:39.220><c> seducible.</c>

00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:49.680
Eve.

00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:51.259
Yes.

00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:57.039
See,<00:20:52.940><c> she</c><00:20:53.099><c> was</c><00:20:53.400><c> the</c><00:20:53.619><c> simple,</c><00:20:54.859><c> the</c><00:20:54.980><c> very</c><00:20:55.359><c> first</c><00:20:55.619><c> of</c><00:20:55.819><c> the</c><00:20:55.980><c> simple.</c>

simple<00:21:03.900><c> ones.</c>

00:21:05.660 --> 00:21:10.920
Ones<00:21:06.259><c> whose</c><00:21:06.579><c> minds</c><00:21:07.119><c> can</c><00:21:07.559><c> be</c><00:21:07.799><c> seduced</c><00:21:09.019><c> away</c><00:21:09.700><c> from</c><00:21:10.240><c> the</c><00:21:10.519><c> wisdom</c>

00:21:14.900 --> 00:21:17.000
It's<00:21:15.099><c> because</c><00:21:15.259><c> she</c><00:21:15.420><c> did</c><00:21:15.740><c> it</c><00:21:15.839><c> by</c><00:21:16.019><c> the</c><00:21:16.200><c> first</c><00:21:16.400><c> part</c><00:21:16.599><c> of</c><00:21:16.799><c> verse,</c>

00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:20.259
That's<00:21:19.839><c> right.</c>

00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:21.880
Yes,<00:21:20.799><c> that's</c><00:21:21.000><c> right.</c>

He<00:21:42.059><c> made</c><00:21:42.299><c> man</c><00:21:42.559><c> upright.</c>

00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:45.119

And<00:25:28.720><c> what</c><00:25:28.920><c> it</c><00:25:29.140><c> is,</c><00:25:30.039><c> is</c><00:25:30.299><c> this</c><00:25:30.579><c> desire</c><00:25:31.160><c> for</c><00:25:31.440><c> the</c><00:25:31.599><c> things</c><00:25:31.880><c> of</c><00:25:32.119><c> God.</c>

00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:41.400
So<00:25:37.180><c> those</c><00:25:37.819><c> who</c><00:25:38.039><c> heard</c><00:25:38.240><c> the</c><00:25:38.559><c> parables</c><00:25:38.980><c> were</c><00:25:39.779><c> in</c><00:25:39.980><c> two</c><00:25:40.240><c> classes.</c>

00:25:42.460 --> 00:25:46.539
There<00:25:42.539><c> were</c><00:25:42.720><c> those</c><00:25:43.200><c> who</c><00:25:43.579><c> feared</c><00:25:43.859><c> God,</c><00:25:45.799><c> they</c><00:25:46.039><c> were</c><00:25:46.180><c> the</c><00:25:46.259><c> ones</c>

00:25:46.539 --> 00:25:48.019
that<00:25:46.980><c> hath,</c>

00:25:48.259 --> 00:25:51.559
and<00:25:48.660><c> there</c><00:25:48.700><c> were</c><00:25:48.859><c> those</c><00:25:49.119><c> who</c><00:25:49.380><c> feared</c><00:25:49.579><c> not</c><00:25:49.900><c> God,</c><00:25:51.160><c> they</c><00:25:51.380><c> were</c>

00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:54.299
the<00:25:51.680><c> ones</c><00:25:52.339><c> who</c><00:25:53.160><c> hath</c><00:25:53.420><c> not.</c>

00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:58.819
So<00:25:55.980><c> the</c><00:25:56.119><c> ones</c><00:25:56.319><c> that</c><00:25:56.579><c> feared</c><00:25:56.779><c> God,</c><00:25:57.900><c> they</c><00:25:58.019><c> would</c><00:25:58.220><c> understand</c>

00:25:58.819 --> 00:25:59.740
the<00:25:59.259><c> parables.</c>

00:25:59.740 --> 00:26:02.759
That's<00:26:00.460><c> why</c><00:26:00.680><c> Jesus</c><00:26:01.099><c> spoke</c><00:26:01.519><c> in</c><00:26:01.819><c> parables.</c>

00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:06.799
And<00:26:03.859><c> those</c><00:26:04.079><c> that</c><00:26:04.220><c> didn't</c><00:26:04.519><c> fear</c><00:26:04.740><c> God,</c><00:26:05.480><c> to</c><00:26:05.819><c> them</c><00:26:06.119><c> it</c><00:26:06.299><c> was</c><00:26:06.599><c> pure</c>

00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:08.140
and<00:26:06.920><c> utter</c><00:26:07.119><c> nonsense.</c>

00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:13.819
And<00:26:10.299><c> so</c><00:26:10.720><c> they</c><00:26:12.000><c> lost</c><00:26:12.380><c> what</c><00:26:12.660><c> little</c><00:26:12.819><c> they</c><00:26:13.140><c> had.</c>

00:26:13.980 --> 00:26:15.839
Where's<00:26:14.480><c> the</c><00:26:14.579><c> rest</c><00:26:14.700><c> of</c><00:26:14.819><c> their</c><00:26:14.980><c> lives?</c>

00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:19.839
When<00:26:17.359><c> they</c><00:26:17.640><c> went</c><00:26:17.819><c> to</c><00:26:17.980><c> the</c><00:26:18.180><c> grave,</c><00:26:18.420><c> that</c><00:26:18.579><c> was</c><00:26:18.779><c> the</c><00:26:18.900><c> end</c><00:26:19.039><c> of</c><00:26:19.140><c> them.</c>

00:26:21.019 --> 00:26:26.599
So<00:26:21.579><c> there</c><00:26:22.140><c> is</c><00:26:22.640><c> the</c><00:26:23.480><c> answer</c><00:26:23.880><c> to</c><00:26:24.160><c> this</c><00:26:25.440><c> strange</c><00:26:25.819><c> paradox</c><00:26:26.400><c> that</c>

00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:28.279
we<00:26:26.799><c> have</c><00:26:26.960><c> at</c><00:26:27.220><c> the</c><00:26:27.339><c> beginning</c><00:26:27.559><c> of</c><00:26:27.880><c> Proverbs,</c>

00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:31.740
that<00:26:28.980><c> you've</c><00:26:29.180><c> got</c><00:26:29.299><c> to</c><00:26:29.400><c> be</c><00:26:29.579><c> wise</c><00:26:29.880><c> if</c><00:26:30.119><c> you're</c><00:26:30.240><c> going</c><00:26:30.440><c> to</c><00:26:30.539><c> get</c><00:26:30.660><c> wisdom.</c>

00:26:32.940 --> 00:26:36.700
And<00:26:33.140><c> that</c><00:26:33.240><c> wisdom</c><00:26:33.559><c> that</c><00:26:33.740><c> you</c><00:26:33.940><c> start</c><00:26:34.240><c> with</c><00:26:35.140><c> is,</c><00:26:36.019><c> as</c><00:26:36.259><c> the</c><00:26:36.440><c> next</c>

00:26:36.700 --> 00:26:39.440
verse<00:26:36.839><c> shows</c><00:26:37.200><c> us,</c><00:26:38.799><c> the</c><00:26:39.039><c> fear.</c>

00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:42.160
That's<00:26:39.940><c> verse</c><00:26:40.079><c> seven</c><00:26:40.420><c> of</c><00:26:40.720><c> Proverbs</c><00:26:41.039><c> one.</c>

00:26:42.299 --> 00:26:46.599
The<00:26:42.500><c> fear</c><00:26:43.220><c> that</c><00:26:43.880><c> is</c><00:26:44.099><c> the</c><00:26:44.380><c> reverence</c><00:26:45.140><c> of</c><00:26:45.500><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:26:47.140 --> 00:26:50.339
That<00:26:47.519><c> is</c><00:26:47.980><c> the</c><00:26:48.180><c> beginning</c><00:26:48.680><c> of</c><00:26:49.099><c> knowledge.</c>

00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:00.759
You<00:26:56.359><c> know,</c><00:26:57.099><c> it's</c><00:26:57.299><c> interesting</c><00:26:57.660><c> to</c><00:26:57.920><c> see</c><00:26:58.019><c> what</c><00:26:58.200><c> they</c><00:26:58.440><c> will</c><00:26:58.660><c> learn.</c>

00:27:05.740 --> 00:27:09.740
They<00:27:06.420><c> will</c><00:27:06.740><c> get</c><00:27:07.500><c> wise</c><00:27:07.819><c> counsels.</c>

00:27:11.779 --> 00:27:14.859
They<00:27:12.420><c> will</c><00:27:13.059><c> receive</c><00:27:14.039><c> understanding.</c>

00:27:15.380 --> 00:27:20.359
The<00:27:15.680><c> ability</c><00:27:16.079><c> to</c><00:27:17.380><c> understand</c><00:27:18.180><c> things</c><00:27:18.500><c> that</c><00:27:18.740><c> others</c><00:27:18.880><c> can't</c><00:27:19.259><c> understand.</c>

00:27:21.259 --> 00:27:24.220
We're<00:27:21.460><c> not</c><00:27:21.539><c> any</c><00:27:21.819><c> smarter</c><00:27:22.220><c> than</c><00:27:22.420><c> the</c><00:27:22.680><c> average</c><00:27:22.900><c> person,</c>

00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:29.880
but<00:27:26.160><c> we</c><00:27:26.799><c> have</c><00:27:27.079><c> a</c><00:27:27.339><c> huge</c><00:27:27.559><c> advantage</c><00:27:28.099><c> over</c><00:27:28.420><c> the</c><00:27:28.740><c> average</c><00:27:29.059><c> person,</c>

00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:35.759
in<00:27:31.400><c> that</c><00:27:31.619><c> because</c><00:27:32.440><c> we</c><00:27:33.380><c> have,</c><00:27:34.579><c> in</c><00:27:34.880><c> effect</c><00:27:35.059><c> we've</c><00:27:35.339><c> gotten</c><00:27:35.539><c> along</c>

00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:38.019
with<00:27:35.880><c> what</c><00:27:36.079><c> God</c><00:27:36.359><c> says</c><00:27:36.799><c> and</c><00:27:37.039><c> what</c><00:27:37.220><c> God</c><00:27:37.500><c> wants,</c>

00:27:38.019 --> 00:27:42.240
He<00:27:39.359><c> shows</c><00:27:39.779><c> us</c><00:27:40.119><c> what</c><00:27:40.319><c> He</c><00:27:40.420><c> wants</c><00:27:40.960><c> in</c><00:27:41.460><c> more</c><00:27:41.680><c> detail.</c>

00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:44.900
We<00:27:42.680><c> begin</c><00:27:42.960><c> to</c><00:27:43.240><c> understand</c><00:27:43.640><c> it</c><00:27:43.920><c> more.</c>

00:27:44.980 --> 00:27:50.440
And<00:27:45.559><c> it</c><00:27:46.180><c> leads</c><00:27:46.480><c> us</c><00:27:46.920><c> in</c><00:27:47.380><c> that</c><00:27:47.680><c> way</c><00:27:48.200><c> that</c><00:27:48.660><c> He</c><00:27:48.720><c> wants</c><00:27:48.960><c> us</c><00:27:49.200><c> to</c><00:27:49.380><c> walk</c><00:27:49.579><c> in.</c>

00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:57.339
But<00:27:51.799><c> you'll</c><00:27:52.039><c> note</c><00:27:52.339><c> the</c><00:27:55.359><c> meaning,</c><00:27:55.779><c> and</c><00:27:55.960><c> it's</c><00:27:56.099><c> an</c><00:27:56.220><c> interesting</c><00:27:56.920><c> word,</c>

00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:03.640
this<00:27:57.700><c> wise</c><00:27:58.000><c> counsels</c><00:27:58.740><c> that</c><00:27:59.680><c> a</c><00:27:59.779><c> person</c><00:28:00.180><c> gains</c><00:28:00.660><c> if</c><00:28:01.900><c> they</c><00:28:02.200><c> increase</c><00:28:02.759><c> their</c>

00:28:06.619 --> 00:28:12.039
Because<00:28:07.380><c> wise</c><00:28:07.799><c> counsels</c><00:28:09.059><c> is</c><00:28:09.819><c> actually</c><00:28:10.359><c> a</c><00:28:10.619><c> sailing</c><00:28:10.940><c> term.</c>

00:28:12.619 --> 00:28:17.119
It's<00:28:13.380><c> relating</c><00:28:13.779><c> to</c><00:28:14.240><c> a</c><00:28:14.960><c> ship</c><00:28:15.180><c> in</c><00:28:15.759><c> full</c><00:28:16.119><c> sail.</c>

00:28:18.740 --> 00:28:23.299
And<00:28:19.500><c> you</c><00:28:20.259><c> think</c><00:28:20.539><c> a</c><00:28:20.740><c> ship</c><00:28:21.039><c> is</c><00:28:21.619><c> steered</c><00:28:22.000><c> just</c><00:28:22.319><c> by</c><00:28:22.539><c> the</c><00:28:22.740><c> rudder.</c>

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:26.180
Well,<00:28:24.000><c> it's</c><00:28:24.119><c> not</c><00:28:24.500><c> only</c><00:28:25.180><c> steered</c><00:28:25.500><c> by</c><00:28:25.660><c> the</c><00:28:25.859><c> rudder.</c>

00:28:26.500 --> 00:28:28.579
It's<00:28:26.839><c> steered</c><00:28:27.079><c> by</c><00:28:27.380><c> the</c><00:28:27.519><c> sails.</c>

00:28:28.619 --> 00:28:31.880
And<00:28:28.839><c> the</c><00:28:29.039><c> sails</c><00:28:29.359><c> are</c><00:28:29.700><c> regulated</c><00:28:30.299><c> by</c><00:28:30.960><c> ropes.</c>

00:28:32.380 --> 00:28:37.920
So<00:28:32.980><c> the</c><00:28:33.299><c> ropes</c><00:28:33.619><c> determine</c><00:28:34.420><c> the</c><00:28:35.059><c> direction</c><00:28:35.500><c> in</c><00:28:35.660><c> which</c><00:28:35.880><c> the</c><00:28:36.119><c> sails</c><00:28:36.420><c> are</c><00:28:36.900><c> set,</c>

00:28:38.180 --> 00:28:40.779
the<00:28:38.380><c> height</c><00:28:38.680><c> of</c><00:28:38.920><c> them</c><00:28:39.240><c> and</c><00:28:39.839><c> whatever,</c>

00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:43.640
and<00:28:41.019><c> which</c><00:28:41.180><c> sails</c><00:28:41.539><c> go</c><00:28:41.779><c> up</c><00:28:41.920><c> and</c><00:28:42.039><c> which</c><00:28:42.259><c> ones</c><00:28:42.440><c> come</c><00:28:42.720><c> down</c><00:28:43.019><c> and</c><00:28:43.279><c> so</c><00:28:43.400><c> on.</c>

00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:49.299
So<00:28:44.519><c> this</c><00:28:45.240><c> is</c><00:28:46.000><c> a</c><00:28:46.440><c> word,</c><00:28:46.660><c> this</c><00:28:46.880><c> is</c><00:28:47.119><c> a</c><00:28:47.240><c> sailing</c><00:28:47.480><c> term</c><00:28:47.880><c> as</c><00:28:48.180><c> wise</c><00:28:48.460><c> counsels.</c>

00:28:49.619 --> 00:28:54.140
And<00:28:49.859><c> it</c><00:28:50.019><c> actually</c><00:28:50.380><c> means</c><00:28:51.480><c> steerage</c><00:28:52.720><c> through</c><00:28:53.460><c> the</c><00:28:53.720><c> management</c>

00:28:54.140 --> 00:28:55.359
of<00:28:54.460><c> ropes.</c>

00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:02.960
And<00:28:58.119><c> you</c><00:28:58.500><c> think</c><00:28:58.740><c> of</c><00:28:58.940><c> a</c><00:28:59.119><c> ship</c><00:28:59.400><c> in</c><00:29:00.019><c> those</c><00:29:00.259><c> days</c><00:29:00.960><c> on</c><00:29:01.619><c> Solomon's</c><00:29:01.839><c> Road.</c>

00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:05.680
You<00:29:03.359><c> think</c><00:29:03.559><c> of</c><00:29:03.700><c> these</c><00:29:04.079><c> tiny</c><00:29:04.500><c> little</c><00:29:04.779><c> ships</c><00:29:05.119><c> that</c><00:29:05.420><c> you</c><00:29:05.519><c> could</c>

00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:10.200
fit<00:29:05.819><c> inside</c><00:29:06.279><c> this</c><00:29:07.440><c> house,</c><00:29:08.599><c> end</c><00:29:09.119><c> to</c><00:29:09.299><c> end.</c>

00:29:10.980 --> 00:29:14.900
And<00:29:11.119><c> there</c><00:29:11.259><c> it</c><00:29:11.339><c> is</c><00:29:11.519><c> carrying</c><00:29:11.859><c> maybe,</c><00:29:12.240><c> what,</c><00:29:12.779><c> 50</c><00:29:12.960><c> to</c><00:29:13.119><c> 100</c><00:29:13.400><c> people.</c>

00:29:15.420 --> 00:29:19.099
And<00:29:15.900><c> it's</c><00:29:15.920><c> bobbing</c><00:29:16.240><c> around</c><00:29:16.599><c> on</c><00:29:17.779><c> the</c><00:29:17.940><c> Mediterranean.</c>

00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:23.019
And<00:29:20.319><c> the</c><00:29:20.559><c> storms</c><00:29:21.099><c> come</c><00:29:21.720><c> up</c><00:29:21.940><c> and</c><00:29:22.079><c> the</c><00:29:22.220><c> winds</c><00:29:22.519><c> blow,</c>

00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:27.960
and<00:29:24.000><c> they</c><00:29:24.220><c> keep</c><00:29:24.480><c> it</c><00:29:24.900><c> under</c><00:29:25.180><c> control</c><00:29:25.700><c> by</c><00:29:26.400><c> manipulating</c><00:29:27.180><c> all</c>

the<00:29:28.099><c> ropes.</c>

00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:35.220
And<00:29:30.339><c> if</c><00:29:30.559><c> they</c><00:29:31.319><c> do</c><00:29:31.839><c> their</c><00:29:32.059><c> job</c><00:29:32.319><c> well,</c><00:29:34.279><c> then</c><00:29:34.420><c> they</c><00:29:34.640><c> get</c><00:29:34.920><c> safely</c>

00:29:35.220 --> 00:29:36.640
through<00:29:35.579><c> the</c><00:29:35.880><c> storm.</c>

00:29:37.380 --> 00:29:42.000
That's<00:29:37.759><c> the</c><00:29:37.920><c> picture</c><00:29:38.259><c> that</c><00:29:39.160><c> Solomon</c><00:29:39.420><c> is</c><00:29:39.759><c> painting</c><00:29:40.160><c> for</c><00:29:40.420><c> us</c><00:29:40.799><c> here,</c>

00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:45.279
about<00:29:42.660><c> being</c><00:29:43.539><c> wise</c><00:29:43.940><c> and</c><00:29:44.259><c> listening,</c>

00:29:45.859 --> 00:29:50.039
and<00:29:46.099><c> therefore</c><00:29:46.380><c> increasing</c><00:29:46.940><c> our</c><00:29:47.880><c> understanding</c><00:29:48.700><c> and</c><00:29:49.519><c> our</c><00:29:49.660><c> learning.</c>

00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:56.299
And<00:29:51.240><c> we</c><00:29:51.240><c> will</c><00:29:51.559><c> attain</c><00:29:52.220><c> that</c><00:29:53.200><c> steerage</c><00:29:54.480><c> through</c><00:29:55.140><c> the</c><00:29:55.359><c> storms.</c>

00:29:57.220 --> 00:29:59.339
We<00:29:57.339><c> will</c><00:29:57.500><c> make</c><00:29:57.680><c> our</c><00:29:57.839><c> way</c><00:29:58.160><c> safely.</c>

00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:04.019
So<00:30:00.920><c> yes,</c><00:30:01.339><c> as</c><00:30:01.720><c> we</c><00:30:02.380><c> have</c><00:30:02.640><c> seen</c><00:30:02.740><c> already,</c><00:30:03.220><c> the</c><00:30:03.339><c> fear</c><00:30:03.599><c> of</c><00:30:03.779><c> Yahweh</c>

00:30:04.019 --> 00:30:06.099
is<00:30:04.259><c> the</c><00:30:04.480><c> beginning</c><00:30:04.819><c> of</c><00:30:05.180><c> knowledge.</c>

00:30:06.700 --> 00:30:09.220
But<00:30:06.880><c> look</c><00:30:07.000><c> at</c><00:30:07.119><c> the</c><00:30:07.279><c> other</c><00:30:07.500><c> half</c><00:30:07.779><c> of</c><00:30:08.019><c> that</c><00:30:08.279><c> verse.</c>

00:30:09.619 --> 00:30:15.259
But<00:30:09.839><c> fools</c><00:30:10.680><c> despise</c><00:30:12.200><c> wisdom</c><00:30:12.960><c> and</c><00:30:14.680><c> instruction.</c>

00:30:15.259 --> 00:30:22.240
It<00:30:16.220><c> is</c><00:30:17.319><c> in</c><00:30:17.559><c> fact</c><00:30:17.779><c> a</c><00:30:18.039><c> very</c><00:30:18.960><c> deliberate</c><00:30:20.420><c> choice.</c>

00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:28.440
There<00:30:22.799><c> is</c><00:30:23.059><c> a</c><00:30:23.180><c> choice,</c><00:30:24.420><c> and</c><00:30:25.160><c> we</c><00:30:25.680><c> will</c><00:30:26.299><c> see</c><00:30:26.559><c> that</c><00:30:27.200><c> in</c><00:30:28.000><c> a</c><00:30:28.079><c> bit</c><00:30:28.220><c> more</c>

00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:32.420
We'll<00:30:29.519><c> come</c><00:30:29.640><c> back</c><00:30:29.880><c> to</c><00:30:30.059><c> that</c><00:30:30.180><c> idea</c><00:30:30.819><c> that</c><00:30:31.519><c> yes,</c><00:30:31.900><c> there</c><00:30:32.059><c> is</c><00:30:32.319><c> a</c>

00:30:32.420 --> 00:30:34.119
deliberate<00:30:32.900><c> choice.</c>

00:30:34.140 --> 00:30:38.420
These<00:30:34.299><c> fools</c><00:30:34.619><c> actually</c><00:30:35.279><c> despise</c><00:30:36.180><c> wisdom</c><00:30:36.779><c> and</c><00:30:37.420><c> instruction.</c>

00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:43.559
These<00:30:39.319><c> are</c><00:30:39.519><c> scoffers,</c><00:30:41.299><c> and</c><00:30:41.559><c> there</c><00:30:41.799><c> are</c><00:30:41.920><c> plenty</c><00:30:42.259><c> of</c><00:30:42.420><c> those</c><00:30:42.579><c> about.</c>

00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:49.500
The<00:30:46.559><c> son</c><00:30:46.980><c> appeals</c><00:30:48.059><c> in</c><00:30:48.440><c> verse</c><00:30:48.720><c> 8,</c>

Hear<00:30:50.000><c> the</c><00:30:50.339><c> instruction</c><00:30:50.880><c> of</c><00:30:51.240><c> thy</c><00:30:51.420><c> father,</c><00:30:52.519><c> and</c><00:30:52.779><c> forsake</c><00:30:53.339><c> not</c>

00:30:53.539 --> 00:30:55.559
the<00:30:53.859><c> law</c><00:30:54.059><c> of</c><00:30:54.319><c> thy</c><00:30:54.500><c> mother.</c>

00:30:55.859 --> 00:30:59.319
For<00:30:56.000><c> they</c><00:30:56.259><c> shall</c><00:30:56.400><c> be</c><00:30:56.640><c> an</c><00:30:56.839><c> ornament</c><00:30:57.140><c> of</c><00:30:57.380><c> grace</c><00:30:57.759><c> unto</c><00:30:58.059><c> thy</c><00:30:58.440><c> head,</c>

00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:05.180
Now<00:31:01.980><c> James</c><00:31:02.119><c> has</c><00:31:02.519><c> probably</c><00:31:02.559><c> got</c><00:31:02.759><c> in</c><00:31:02.920><c> the</c><00:31:03.079><c> margin</c><00:31:03.400><c> what</c><00:31:03.940><c> the</c><00:31:04.380><c> chains</c><00:31:04.599><c> about</c><00:31:04.859><c> thy</c>

00:31:05.180 --> 00:31:06.799

00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:09.940
You<00:31:07.900><c> haven't?</c><00:31:08.740><c> You</c><00:31:08.980><c> must</c><00:31:09.319><c> rather</c><00:31:09.539><c> be</c><00:31:09.779><c> listening.</c>

00:31:09.940 --> 00:31:14.960
I<00:31:10.480><c> don't</c><00:31:10.480><c> know</c><00:31:10.640><c> why</c><00:31:10.740><c> I've</c><00:31:11.039><c> been</c><00:31:11.380><c> there</c><00:31:11.779><c> that</c><00:31:12.059><c> time.</c>

00:31:15.059 --> 00:31:17.859
I<00:31:15.059><c> think</c><00:31:15.220><c> I've</c><00:31:15.420><c> heard</c><00:31:15.460><c> something</c><00:31:15.720><c> there,</c><00:31:16.539><c> maybe</c><00:31:16.779><c> that.</c>

00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:23.160
That's<00:31:19.400><c> a</c><00:31:19.460><c> good</c><00:31:19.700><c> verse.</c><00:31:20.960><c> There's</c><00:31:21.420><c> a</c><00:31:21.619><c> knife</c><00:31:21.880><c> on</c><00:31:22.279><c> each</c><00:31:22.660><c> of</c><00:31:22.660><c> them.</c>

00:31:25.180 --> 00:31:27.240
That's<00:31:25.640><c> got</c><00:31:25.799><c> Daniel</c><00:31:26.059><c> and</c><00:31:26.180><c> Joseph.</c>

00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:28.480
Ah,<00:31:27.960><c> right.</c>

00:31:28.539 --> 00:31:29.140
That's<00:31:28.819><c> all</c><00:31:28.940><c> I've</c><00:31:29.019><c> got.</c>

00:31:29.539 --> 00:31:30.039
Yes.

00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.380
So<00:31:30.440><c> let's</c><00:31:30.660><c> just</c><00:31:30.839><c> look</c><00:31:30.920><c> at</c><00:31:30.940><c> Joseph.</c><00:31:31.420><c> James</c><00:31:31.720><c> has</c><00:31:31.940><c> kept</c><00:31:32.059><c> recording</c><00:31:32.480><c> one.</c>

00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:35.799
Yes.

00:31:43.289 --> 00:31:49.420
And<00:31:43.920><c> this</c><00:31:45.180><c> is</c><00:31:45.960><c> when</c><00:31:46.259><c> Joseph,</c><00:31:46.839><c> after</c><00:31:47.200><c> years</c><00:31:47.920><c> of</c><00:31:48.319><c> suffering,</c>

and<00:32:05.119><c> Pharaoh</c><00:32:05.339><c> took</c><00:32:05.660><c> off</c><00:32:05.839><c> his</c><00:32:06.140><c> ring</c><00:32:06.359><c> from</c><00:32:06.640><c> his</c><00:32:06.980><c> hand,</c><00:32:07.960><c> and</c><00:32:08.039><c> put</c>

00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:45.140
It<00:32:38.319><c> is</c><00:32:38.519><c> because</c><00:32:39.619><c> he</c><00:32:40.619><c> had</c><00:32:42.220><c> heard</c><00:32:43.099><c> the</c><00:32:43.420><c> instruction</c><00:32:43.759><c> of</c><00:32:43.960><c> his</c><00:32:44.160><c> father,</c>

00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:55.900
You<00:32:48.279><c> see,</c><00:32:48.740><c> his</c><00:32:49.059><c> behaviour</c><00:32:49.700><c> was</c><00:32:51.299><c> a</c><00:32:51.440><c> result</c><00:32:51.960><c> of</c><00:32:52.339><c> his</c><00:32:53.319><c> godly</c><00:32:54.859><c> attitude.</c>

00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:08.839

00:33:20.380 --> 00:33:23.519

00:33:52.339 --> 00:33:58.200

00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:55.059

00:37:31.380 --> 00:37:33.480
The<00:37:31.519><c> fear</c><00:37:31.719><c> of</c><00:37:31.860><c> Yahweh</c><00:37:32.119><c> is</c><00:37:32.280><c> not</c><00:37:32.420><c> in</c><00:37:32.579><c> them.</c>

00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:44.360
They<00:37:43.159><c> rejected</c><00:37:43.619><c> him.</c>

00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:27.659
But,<00:42:26.039><c> you</c><00:42:26.159><c> just</c><00:42:26.320><c> look</c><00:42:26.460><c> what</c><00:42:26.679><c> verses</c><00:42:27.000><c> one</c><00:42:27.300><c> to</c><00:42:27.500><c> four</c>

00:42:33.179 --> 00:42:34.860
It's<00:42:33.460><c> not</c><00:42:33.659><c> just</c><00:42:34.119><c> saying,</c><00:42:34.579><c> you</c><00:42:34.739><c> know,</c>

00:42:34.860 --> 00:42:39.619
I<00:42:34.920><c> wish</c><00:42:35.099><c> I</c><00:42:35.400><c> knew</c><00:42:36.039><c> what</c><00:42:36.599><c> the</c><00:42:36.860><c> purpose</c><00:42:37.199><c> of</c><00:42:37.500><c> life</c><00:42:37.739><c> is.</c>

00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:43.599
You<00:42:40.360><c> know,</c><00:42:40.960><c> is</c><00:42:41.260><c> there</c><00:42:41.579><c> really</c><00:42:41.920><c> life</c><00:42:42.239><c> after</c><00:42:42.699><c> death?</c>

00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:46.760
I<00:42:44.139><c> mean,</c><00:42:44.460><c> how</c><00:42:44.539><c> often</c><00:42:44.719><c> do</c><00:42:44.920><c> you</c><00:42:44.940><c> hear</c><00:42:45.139><c> that</c><00:42:45.460><c> sort</c><00:42:45.639><c> of</c><00:42:45.820><c> question?</c>

00:42:48.420 --> 00:42:53.400
But<00:42:48.659><c> there's</c><00:42:48.980><c> got</c><00:42:49.099><c> to</c><00:42:49.260><c> be</c><00:42:49.519><c> an</c><00:42:49.780><c> earnest</c><00:42:50.139><c> and</c><00:42:51.219><c> energetic</c><00:42:52.139><c> search.</c>

00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:59.619
And<00:42:55.880><c> that,</c><00:42:56.940><c> unfortunately,</c><00:42:57.719><c> is</c><00:42:58.340><c> usually</c><00:42:58.699><c> lacking.</c>

00:43:00.059 --> 00:43:05.019
But<00:43:00.860><c> just</c><00:43:01.460><c> look</c><00:43:01.599><c> at</c><00:43:01.719><c> the</c><00:43:01.920><c> rewards</c><00:43:02.480><c> that</c><00:43:02.780><c> come</c><00:43:03.019><c> from</c><00:43:03.300><c> it.</c>

of<00:43:22.400><c> that</c><00:43:23.019><c> energetic</c><00:43:23.599><c> and</c><00:43:24.019><c> earnest</c><00:43:24.320><c> search</c><00:43:25.440><c> for</c><00:43:26.539><c> wisdom.</c>

00:43:26.920 --> 00:43:29.199
You<00:43:27.420><c> know</c><00:43:27.699><c> what</c><00:43:27.800><c> he</c><00:43:27.960><c> says,</c><00:43:28.320><c> like</c><00:43:28.460><c> in</c><00:43:28.599><c> verse</c><00:43:28.880><c> four,</c>

00:43:32.019 --> 00:43:33.219

00:43:33.260 --> 00:43:35.260
like<00:43:33.559><c> gold</c><00:43:34.039><c> prospectors,</c>

00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:37.280
they're<00:43:35.639><c> never</c><00:43:35.800><c> going</c><00:43:36.000><c> to</c><00:43:36.039><c> find</c><00:43:36.199><c> gold</c><00:43:36.579><c> sitting</c><00:43:36.840><c> around</c>

00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:37.880
or<00:43:37.440><c> on</c><00:43:37.500><c> the</c><00:43:37.719><c> top.</c>

00:43:38.380 --> 00:43:45.400
They've<00:43:38.900><c> got</c><00:43:38.900><c> to</c><00:43:42.119><c> dig</c><00:43:42.619><c> and</c><00:43:42.900><c> dig</c><00:43:43.159><c> and</c><00:43:43.940><c> lots</c><00:43:44.219><c> of</c><00:43:44.460><c> back</c><00:43:44.719><c>-breaking</c><00:43:45.039><c> work</c>

00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:46.340
together.

00:43:46.599 --> 00:43:47.500
That's<00:43:46.739><c> right.</c>

00:43:48.940 --> 00:43:50.599
I<00:43:49.039><c> wish</c><00:43:49.260><c> I</c><00:43:49.380><c> could</c><00:43:49.559><c> find</c><00:43:49.679><c> some</c><00:43:49.940><c> gold</c><00:43:50.300><c> there.</c>

Some<00:43:51.099><c> people</c><00:43:51.260><c> have</c><00:43:51.480><c> been</c><00:43:51.639><c> lucky.</c>

00:43:52.219 --> 00:43:54.900
I<00:43:52.659><c> like</c><00:43:52.920><c> this</c><00:43:53.199><c> fellow</c><00:43:53.420><c> who's</c><00:43:53.840><c> been</c><00:43:53.960><c> along</c><00:43:54.280><c> this</c><00:43:54.619><c> road</c>

00:43:54.900 --> 00:43:58.519
and<00:43:55.159><c> had</c><00:43:56.400><c> this</c><00:43:56.820><c> huge,</c><00:43:57.380><c> this</c><00:43:57.739><c> little...</c>

00:43:59.139 --> 00:44:00.199
Nugget,<00:43:59.519><c> yeah.</c>

00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:05.760
You<00:44:02.360><c> know,</c><00:44:02.860><c> that's</c><00:44:03.980><c> the</c><00:44:04.019><c> exception</c><00:44:04.780><c> rather</c><00:44:05.380><c> than</c><00:44:05.619><c> the</c><00:44:05.679><c> rule,</c>

00:44:05.980 --> 00:44:06.139
isn't<00:44:06.099><c> it?</c>

00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:06.539
Absolutely.

00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:09.780
The<00:44:07.019><c> rule</c><00:44:07.300><c> is</c><00:44:07.619><c> that</c><00:44:07.800><c> you</c><00:44:07.920><c> can't</c><00:44:08.360><c> just</c><00:44:08.679><c> walk</c><00:44:09.019><c> along</c>

00:44:09.780 --> 00:44:12.099
with<00:44:10.179><c> your</c><00:44:10.360><c> eyes</c><00:44:10.539><c> sort</c><00:44:10.739><c> of</c><00:44:10.960><c> half</c><00:44:11.260><c> closed</c>

00:44:12.780 --> 00:44:14.539
and<00:44:13.340><c> just</c><00:44:13.639><c> dumb</c><00:44:13.760><c> walk</c><00:44:13.900><c> on</c><00:44:14.139><c> a</c><00:44:14.280><c> nugget.</c>

00:44:14.579 --> 00:44:15.719
That's<00:44:14.920><c> right.</c>

00:44:16.780 --> 00:44:19.679
You<00:44:17.340><c> don't</c><00:44:17.639><c> stub</c><00:44:17.780><c> your</c><00:44:18.059><c> toe</c><00:44:18.199><c> on</c><00:44:18.340><c> them</c><00:44:18.460><c> every</c><00:44:18.739><c> day.</c>

00:44:22.380 --> 00:44:26.579
So<00:44:23.000><c> that</c><00:44:23.559><c> tremendous</c><00:44:24.099><c> effort,</c><00:44:24.460><c> you</c><00:44:24.760><c> see,</c><00:44:25.139><c> is</c><00:44:25.440><c> really</c><00:44:25.960><c> rewarding</c>

00:44:26.579 --> 00:44:30.440
because<00:44:27.780><c> you'll</c><00:44:28.360><c> not</c><00:44:28.500><c> only</c><00:44:28.699><c> understand</c><00:44:29.420><c> the</c><00:44:29.760><c> fear</c><00:44:29.980><c> of</c><00:44:30.159><c> Yahweh</c>

and<00:44:30.659><c> find</c><00:44:30.739><c> the</c><00:44:30.920><c> knowledge</c><00:44:31.139><c> of</c><00:44:31.380><c> God,</c>

00:44:32.739 --> 00:44:34.340

00:44:35.260 --> 00:44:39.320
and<00:44:35.880><c> He</c><00:44:36.500><c> can</c><00:44:36.739><c> give</c><00:44:36.940><c> you</c><00:44:37.579><c> knowledge</c><00:44:37.920><c> and</c><00:44:38.219><c> understanding.</c>

00:44:40.420 --> 00:44:43.139
He<00:44:40.780><c> lays</c><00:44:41.199><c> up,</c><00:44:41.980><c> that</c><00:44:42.139><c> is,</c><00:44:42.420><c> He</c><00:44:42.539><c> preserves,</c>

00:44:43.219 --> 00:44:47.460
He<00:44:43.360><c> keeps</c><00:44:43.639><c> it</c><00:44:43.960><c> aside</c><00:44:44.519><c> for</c><00:44:46.219><c> a</c><00:44:46.440><c> special</c><00:44:46.760><c> purpose.</c>

00:44:47.460 --> 00:44:51.659
He<00:44:48.219><c> lays</c><00:44:48.639><c> up</c><00:44:49.059><c> sound</c><00:44:49.380><c> wisdom</c><00:44:49.840><c> for</c><00:44:50.280><c> the</c><00:44:50.599><c> righteous.</c>

00:44:52.699 --> 00:44:55.239
And<00:44:52.820><c> He's</c><00:44:53.059><c> a</c><00:44:53.199><c> buckler</c><00:44:53.519><c> to</c><00:44:53.639><c> them</c><00:44:53.880><c> that</c><00:44:54.099><c> walk</c><00:44:54.300><c> uprightly.</c>

00:44:55.719 --> 00:44:58.159
That<00:44:56.119><c> is,</c><00:44:56.380><c> He's</c><00:44:56.639><c> a</c><00:44:56.639><c> defense</c><00:44:57.019><c> to</c><00:44:57.280><c> them.</c>

00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:00.800
And<00:44:58.780><c> He</c><00:44:59.000><c> keeps</c><00:44:59.400><c> the</c><00:44:59.739><c> paths</c><00:45:00.059><c> of</c><00:45:00.360><c> judgment</c>

00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:03.900

00:45:04.139 --> 00:45:06.099
Don't<00:45:04.400><c> forget</c><00:45:04.639><c> when</c><00:45:04.840><c> you're</c><00:45:05.059><c> reading</c><00:45:05.380><c> these</c><00:45:05.780><c> things,</c>

00:45:13.099 --> 00:45:15.760
But<00:45:13.380><c> when</c><00:45:13.860><c> the</c><00:45:14.920><c> Scriptures</c><00:45:15.199><c> talk</c><00:45:15.519><c> about</c>

00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:18.599
I<00:45:15.920><c> will</c><00:45:16.219><c> dwell</c><00:45:16.500><c> in</c><00:45:16.639><c> the</c><00:45:16.920><c> land,</c><00:45:17.260><c> for</c><00:45:17.559><c> example,</c>

00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:20.940
it's<00:45:18.940><c> talking</c><00:45:19.139><c> about</c><00:45:19.360><c> eternal</c><00:45:19.699><c> life.</c>

00:45:22.780 --> 00:45:25.679
When<00:45:23.159><c> it</c><00:45:23.679><c> talks</c><00:45:24.039><c> about</c><00:45:24.360><c> prosperity</c>

and<00:45:42.500><c> diligently</c><00:45:43.000><c> seeks</c><00:45:43.500><c> out</c><00:45:43.760><c> wisdom.</c>

00:45:47.980 --> 00:45:50.519
Verse<00:45:48.699><c> 9,</c><00:45:49.179><c> you'll</c><00:45:49.659><c> understand</c><00:45:50.059><c> righteousness</c>

00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:11.519
from<00:46:08.579><c> the</c><00:46:08.719><c> man</c><00:46:08.880><c> that</c><00:46:09.219><c> speaketh</c><00:46:10.139><c> ferocious</c><00:46:10.679><c> things.</c>

00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:14.599
That<00:46:12.500><c> is,</c><00:46:13.239><c> a</c><00:46:13.260><c> scoffer.</c>

00:46:15.139 --> 00:46:17.320
Those<00:46:15.639><c> are</c><00:46:16.059><c> people</c><00:46:16.380><c> who,</c><00:46:17.039><c> verse</c><00:46:17.039><c> 13,</c>

00:46:17.340 --> 00:46:19.659

00:46:19.659 --> 00:46:22.699
to<00:46:20.079><c> walk</c><00:46:20.500><c> in</c><00:46:20.780><c> the</c><00:46:20.960><c> ways</c><00:46:21.360><c> of</c><00:46:21.659><c> darkness.</c>

00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:26.260
You<00:46:23.860><c> see,</c><00:46:24.260><c> they</c><00:46:24.719><c> don't</c><00:46:24.920><c> like</c><00:46:25.159><c> the</c><00:46:25.380><c> light.</c>

00:46:26.280 --> 00:46:28.820
They<00:46:26.480><c> prefer</c><00:46:26.900><c> to</c><00:46:27.199><c> walk</c><00:46:27.460><c> in</c><00:46:27.760><c> darkness.</c>

00:46:29.820 --> 00:46:31.940
It's<00:46:30.019><c> a</c><00:46:30.099><c> very</c><00:46:30.320><c> strange</c><00:46:30.599><c> thing,</c><00:46:31.059><c> isn't</c><00:46:31.059><c> it,</c><00:46:31.260><c> really?</c>

00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:34.039
When<00:46:32.260><c> you've</c><00:46:32.420><c> seen</c><00:46:32.719><c> the</c><00:46:33.000><c> light</c>

00:46:34.619 --> 00:46:37.940
and<00:46:35.179><c> you</c><00:46:35.739><c> have</c><00:46:36.019><c> learnt</c><00:46:36.139><c> to</c><00:46:36.380><c> walk</c><00:46:36.599><c> in</c><00:46:36.800><c> the</c><00:46:36.980><c> light,</c>

00:46:38.179 --> 00:46:40.239
it's<00:46:38.400><c> almost</c><00:46:38.719><c> incomprehensible</c><00:46:39.659><c> to</c><00:46:39.980><c> us</c>

00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:42.119
to<00:46:40.239><c> think</c><00:46:41.199><c> that</c><00:46:41.460><c> a</c><00:46:41.659><c> person</c>

00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:44.519
can<00:46:42.440><c> prefer</c><00:46:42.840><c> to</c><00:46:43.039><c> walk</c><00:46:43.239><c> in</c><00:46:43.519><c> darkness.</c>

00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:45.800
But<00:46:45.119><c> that's...</c>

00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:47.119
That<00:46:46.440><c> is</c><00:46:46.679><c> the</c><00:46:46.860><c> point.</c>

00:46:47.380 --> 00:46:49.260
That<00:46:47.659><c> is,</c><00:46:48.300><c> yes.</c>

00:46:49.539 --> 00:46:51.320
And<00:46:49.900><c> they</c><00:46:50.280><c> rejoice</c><00:46:50.579><c> in</c><00:46:50.820><c> doing</c><00:46:50.960><c> evil</c>

00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:53.860
and<00:46:51.519><c> delight</c><00:46:51.840><c> in</c><00:46:52.019><c> the</c><00:46:52.179><c> ferociousness</c><00:46:52.739><c> of</c><00:46:52.860><c> the</c><00:46:52.980><c> wicked.</c>

00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:55.340
Their<00:46:54.039><c> ways</c><00:46:54.280><c> are</c><00:46:54.579><c> crooked.</c>

00:46:55.400 --> 00:46:56.780
Well,<00:46:56.119><c> you</c><00:46:56.239><c> might</c><00:46:56.420><c> remember</c>

00:46:56.780 --> 00:46:59.739
when<00:46:57.699><c> I</c><00:46:58.159><c> mentioned</c><00:46:58.480><c> Ecclesiastes,</c>

00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:01.340
where<00:47:00.219><c> God</c><00:47:00.440><c> made</c><00:47:00.699><c> man</c><00:47:00.940><c> upright</c>

00:47:01.340 --> 00:47:03.039
and<00:47:01.599><c> man</c><00:47:01.800><c> sought</c><00:47:02.019><c> out</c><00:47:02.239><c> many</c><00:47:02.420><c> devices.</c>

00:47:03.340 --> 00:47:05.500
That's<00:47:03.659><c> why</c><00:47:03.780><c> his</c><00:47:04.079><c> path</c><00:47:04.320><c> is</c><00:47:04.599><c> crooked.</c>

00:47:07.099 --> 00:47:10.440
And<00:47:07.860><c> they're</c><00:47:08.619><c> throwed</c><00:47:08.880><c> in</c><00:47:09.099><c> their</c><00:47:09.440><c> paths.</c>

00:47:11.199 --> 00:47:15.920
They're<00:47:11.699><c> not</c><00:47:12.099><c> willing</c><00:47:12.440><c> to</c><00:47:13.599><c> accept</c><00:47:14.340><c> guidance.</c>

00:47:16.900 --> 00:47:18.719
They<00:47:17.380><c> want</c><00:47:17.599><c> to</c><00:47:17.719><c> make</c><00:47:17.860><c> their</c><00:47:18.059><c> own</c><00:47:18.280><c> way.</c>

00:47:19.179 --> 00:47:19.900

00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:30.760
and<00:56:29.199><c> keep</c><00:56:29.639><c> His</c><00:56:30.019><c> commandments,</c>

00:56:30.760 --> 00:56:35.039
for<00:56:31.960><c> this</c><00:56:32.460><c> is</c><00:56:32.960><c> the</c><00:56:33.320><c> whole</c><00:56:33.760><c> man.</c>

00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:38.400
If<00:56:37.320><c> you</c><00:56:37.539><c> want</c><00:56:37.639><c> to</c><00:56:37.739><c> be</c><00:56:37.880><c> whole,</c>

00:56:38.860 --> 00:56:40.599
that<00:56:38.920><c> is</c><00:56:39.400><c> perfect.</c>

00:56:41.280 --> 00:56:43.159
It<00:56:41.460><c> means</c><00:56:41.579><c> the</c><00:56:41.739><c> same</c><00:56:41.940><c> thing.</c>

00:56:43.539 --> 00:56:45.199
Then<00:56:43.739><c> you</c><00:56:43.960><c> fear</c><00:56:44.239><c> God,</c>

00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:47.460
and<00:56:45.940><c> keep</c><00:56:46.179><c> His</c><00:56:46.420><c> commandments.</c>

00:56:48.059 --> 00:56:49.920
That<00:56:48.440><c> is</c><00:56:48.860><c> wisdom.</c>

00:56:50.940 --> 00:56:52.079
Next,<00:56:51.280><c> Max.</c>

00:56:52.659 --> 00:56:54.400
OK,<00:56:53.079><c> thanks</c><00:56:53.340><c> for</c><00:56:53.480><c> the</c><00:56:53.619><c> light.</c>

00:56:55.639 --> 00:56:59.019
Anyone<00:56:55.940><c> want</c><00:56:56.159><c> to</c><00:56:56.260><c> make</c><00:56:56.440><c> any</c><00:56:56.739><c> more</c><00:56:57.139><c> comments</c><00:56:57.639><c> or</c><00:56:57.940><c> questions?</c>

00:57:06.659 --> 00:57:09.780
I<00:57:07.219><c> think</c><00:57:07.780><c> what</c><00:57:07.920><c> comes</c><00:57:08.179><c> out</c><00:57:08.360><c> in</c><00:57:08.519><c> that</c><00:57:08.880><c> wisdom</c><00:57:09.139><c> is</c><00:57:09.500><c> that</c>

00:57:09.780 --> 00:57:13.179
it's<00:57:10.179><c> not</c><00:57:10.320><c> really</c><00:57:10.679><c> talking</c><00:57:12.039><c> about</c><00:57:12.340><c> mental</c><00:57:12.679><c> capacity,</c>

00:57:13.340 --> 00:57:14.840
but<00:57:13.400><c> rather</c><00:57:13.579><c> mental</c><00:57:13.940><c> attitude,</c><00:57:14.559><c> isn't</c><00:57:14.559><c> it?</c>

00:57:14.880 --> 00:57:16.059
It<00:57:15.139><c> is.</c>

00:57:16.079 --> 00:57:19.179
Because<00:57:16.420><c> you</c><00:57:17.199><c> can</c><00:57:17.460><c> be</c><00:57:18.320><c> wholly</c><00:57:18.519><c> intelligent,</c>

00:57:19.480 --> 00:57:20.800
by<00:57:19.659><c> worldly</c><00:57:19.880><c> standards,</c>

00:57:20.900 --> 00:57:22.059
but<00:57:20.940><c> despite</c><00:57:21.300><c> the</c><00:57:21.500><c> word</c><00:57:21.619><c> of</c><00:57:21.900><c> God,</c>

00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:25.079
others<00:57:22.440><c> can</c><00:57:22.699><c> be</c><00:57:23.639><c> not</c><00:57:23.980><c> very</c><00:57:24.239><c> intelligent,</c>

00:57:25.099 --> 00:57:28.579
but<00:57:25.199><c> be</c><00:57:25.519><c> keen</c><00:57:25.739><c> to</c><00:57:26.980><c> learn</c><00:57:27.340><c> from</c><00:57:27.780><c> the</c><00:57:27.940><c> word</c><00:57:28.000><c> of</c><00:57:28.239><c> God.</c>

00:57:28.579 --> 00:57:30.199
And<00:57:28.840><c> they're</c><00:57:29.059><c> the</c><00:57:29.139><c> ones</c><00:57:29.300><c> that</c><00:57:29.800><c> got</c><00:57:29.920><c> a</c><00:57:30.099><c> lot.</c>

00:57:30.340 --> 00:57:31.940
Now,<00:57:30.579><c> you</c><00:57:30.719><c> reported</c><00:57:31.059><c> that</c><00:57:31.340><c> as</c><00:57:31.480><c> an</c><00:57:31.639><c> ingredient,</c>

00:57:32.019 --> 00:57:33.579
that<00:57:32.320><c> not</c><00:57:32.500><c> many</c><00:57:32.760><c> wives</c>

00:57:33.579 --> 00:57:37.320
after<00:57:34.539><c> this</c><00:57:35.659><c> world</c><00:57:36.320><c> come</c><00:57:36.780><c> true.</c>

00:57:37.539 --> 00:57:38.400
Princess?

00:57:39.300 --> 00:57:41.920
Isn't<00:57:39.980><c> it</c><00:57:40.500><c> interesting</c><00:57:41.039><c> how</c><00:57:41.539><c> quick,</c>

00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:45.199
after<00:57:42.500><c> all</c><00:57:42.699><c> the</c><00:57:43.139><c> IPs</c><00:57:43.719><c> were</c><00:57:43.980><c> saved,</c>

00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:50.119
that<00:57:47.239><c> afterwards</c><00:57:48.039><c> all</c><00:57:48.659><c> this</c><00:57:49.039><c> can</c><00:57:49.320><c> begin</c><00:57:49.679><c> again,</c>

00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:54.079
you<00:57:50.239><c> know,</c><00:57:51.039><c> all</c><00:57:51.039><c> the</c><00:57:52.019><c> corruption</c><00:57:52.719><c> and...</c>

00:57:54.940 --> 00:57:57.300
But<00:57:55.500><c> I</c><00:57:55.679><c> saw</c><00:57:55.960><c> that</c><00:57:56.500><c> the</c><00:57:56.739><c> other</c><00:57:57.039><c> people,</c>

00:57:57.539 --> 00:57:58.059
which<00:57:57.599><c> were</c><00:57:57.880><c> saved,</c>

00:57:58.260 --> 00:57:59.719
were<00:57:58.380><c> instilled</c><00:57:58.920><c> in</c><00:57:59.179><c> the</c><00:57:59.280><c> letter,</c>

00:57:59.860 --> 00:58:01.599
and<00:58:00.039><c> from</c><00:58:00.199><c> there</c><00:58:00.599><c> they</c><00:58:00.940><c> were</c><00:58:01.079><c> actually</c><00:58:01.219><c> beginning,</c>

00:58:01.820 --> 00:58:03.760
but<00:58:01.980><c> eventually</c><00:58:02.380><c> it</c><00:58:02.639><c> was</c><00:58:02.679><c> left</c><00:58:02.880><c> again.</c>

00:58:05.960 --> 00:58:07.079
Yes,<00:58:06.519><c> absolutely.</c>

00:58:07.159 --> 00:58:08.980
Well,<00:58:08.139><c> exactly</c><00:58:08.440><c> right,</c><00:58:08.840><c> Jan,</c>

00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:09.980
because,<00:58:09.420><c> in</c><00:58:09.719><c> fact,</c>

00:58:10.119 --> 00:58:12.940
God<00:58:10.340><c> said</c><00:58:10.559><c> something</c><00:58:10.920><c> along</c><00:58:11.179><c> those</c><00:58:11.460><c> lines</c>

00:58:13.800 --> 00:58:16.079
immediately<00:58:14.360><c> after</c><00:58:14.820><c> the</c><00:58:15.079><c> flight.</c>

00:58:16.840 --> 00:58:18.440
In<00:58:16.900><c> Genesis</c><00:58:17.360><c> 9,</c>

00:58:20.199 --> 00:58:22.920
where<00:58:20.760><c> the</c><00:58:21.320><c> ark</c><00:58:21.480><c> came</c><00:58:21.820><c> to</c><00:58:22.159><c> rest,</c>

00:58:23.239 --> 00:58:25.739
and<00:58:23.760><c> Noah</c><00:58:24.039><c> and</c><00:58:24.239><c> his</c><00:58:24.360><c> family</c><00:58:24.719><c> came</c><00:58:25.059><c> out,</c>

00:58:26.199 --> 00:58:27.820
the<00:58:26.380><c> first</c><00:58:26.679><c> thing</c><00:58:26.900><c> they</c><00:58:27.119><c> did</c>

00:58:27.820 --> 00:58:29.340
was<00:58:28.659><c> to</c><00:58:28.840><c> build</c><00:58:29.019><c> an</c><00:58:29.239><c> altar</c>

00:58:29.340 --> 00:58:31.599
and<00:58:29.519><c> offer</c><00:58:29.699><c> a</c><00:58:29.820><c> sacrifice</c><00:58:30.420><c> to</c><00:58:30.639><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:34.579
And<00:58:32.519><c> God</c><00:58:32.980><c> responded</c><00:58:33.719><c> by</c><00:58:34.139><c> saying</c>

00:58:34.579 --> 00:58:36.519
that<00:58:35.219><c> I</c><00:58:35.320><c> know</c><00:58:35.579><c> that</c><00:58:35.760><c> the</c><00:58:35.980><c> heart</c><00:58:36.179><c> of</c><00:58:36.360><c> man</c>

00:58:36.519 --> 00:58:38.539
is<00:58:36.780><c> only</c><00:58:37.059><c> evil</c><00:58:37.420><c> continually.</c>

00:58:39.559 --> 00:58:40.480
You<00:58:39.719><c> know?</c>

00:58:40.559 --> 00:58:42.239
And<00:58:41.000><c> that's</c><00:58:41.260><c> the</c><00:58:41.400><c> problem.</c>

00:58:43.280 --> 00:58:45.699
And<00:58:43.800><c> if</c><00:58:44.000><c> we</c><00:58:44.239><c> would</c><00:58:44.360><c> just</c><00:58:44.599><c> follow</c><00:58:44.800><c> our</c><00:58:45.079><c> own</c><00:58:45.320><c> way,</c>

00:58:46.119 --> 00:58:48.179
you<00:58:46.320><c> know,</c><00:58:46.400><c> the</c><00:58:46.539><c> heart</c><00:58:46.800><c> of</c><00:58:46.900><c> man</c><00:58:47.179><c> way,</c>

00:58:49.159 --> 00:58:50.619
then<00:58:49.400><c> we've</c><00:58:49.920><c> seen</c><00:58:50.039><c> the</c><00:58:50.219><c> result.</c>

00:58:50.619 --> 00:58:55.119
Yes,<00:58:53.980><c> I</c><00:58:54.079><c> remember</c><00:58:54.340><c> actually,</c>

00:58:55.599 --> 00:58:57.719
Noah,<00:58:56.599><c> there</c><00:58:56.719><c> was</c><00:58:56.800><c> an</c><00:58:56.940><c> article</c>

00:58:58.159 --> 00:58:59.340
in<00:58:58.719><c> the</c><00:58:58.719><c> Testimony,</c>

00:58:59.559 --> 00:59:01.300
which<00:58:59.780><c> actually</c><00:59:00.159><c> showed</c><00:59:00.380><c> even</c><00:59:00.639><c> that,</c>

00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:02.739
the<00:59:01.480><c> incident</c><00:59:01.760><c> in</c><00:59:01.980><c> Genesis</c><00:59:02.099><c> 9</c><00:59:02.380><c> about,</c>

00:59:02.739 --> 00:59:04.840
you<00:59:02.820><c> know,</c><00:59:03.059><c> the</c><00:59:03.179><c> sin</c><00:59:03.320><c> that</c><00:59:03.500><c> Noah's</c><00:59:04.159><c> sin,</c>

00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:06.539
and<00:59:05.480><c> there's</c><00:59:05.780><c> a</c><00:59:05.780><c> lot</c><00:59:06.039><c> of</c><00:59:06.260><c> parallels</c>

00:59:06.539 --> 00:59:08.940
between<00:59:07.159><c> that</c><00:59:07.639><c> and</c><00:59:07.820><c> the</c><00:59:08.099><c> first</c><00:59:08.400><c> sin,</c>

00:59:09.300 --> 00:59:11.599
like<00:59:09.519><c> it</c><00:59:09.519><c> talks</c><00:59:09.820><c> about</c><00:59:10.260><c> nakedness,</c>

00:59:11.860 --> 00:59:16.300
and<00:59:12.000><c> there's</c><00:59:12.340><c> fruit</c><00:59:12.679><c> of</c><00:59:13.599><c> the</c><00:59:15.340><c> wine</c><00:59:15.659><c> involved,</c>

00:59:16.300 --> 00:59:18.760
probably<00:59:17.099><c> some</c><00:59:17.880><c> particular</c><00:59:18.260><c> sin</c><00:59:18.460><c> there,</c>

00:59:18.800 --> 00:59:22.300
I<00:59:18.800><c> think,</c><00:59:19.119><c> would</c><00:59:19.159><c> be</c><00:59:20.579><c> his</c><00:59:20.940><c> grandson</c><00:59:21.260><c> or</c><00:59:21.460><c> grandson.</c>

00:59:22.760 --> 00:59:25.159
So<00:59:23.239><c> there's</c><00:59:23.719><c> almost</c><00:59:23.719><c> that</c><00:59:24.000><c> parallel</c>

00:59:25.199 --> 00:59:26.599
of<00:59:25.679><c> the</c><00:59:26.079><c> new</c><00:59:26.260><c> beginning</c>

00:59:26.599 --> 00:59:27.880
and<00:59:26.920><c> sin</c><00:59:27.119><c> coming</c><00:59:27.340><c> to</c><00:59:27.559><c> the</c><00:59:27.659><c> world,</c>

00:59:28.039 --> 00:59:29.440
and<00:59:28.280><c> everything.</c>

00:59:35.920 --> 00:59:38.360
