00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:45.320
Good<00:00:44.179><c> morning.</c>

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:53.799
One<00:00:48.820><c> night,</c><00:00:49.979><c> a</c><00:00:49.979><c> seven</c><00:00:50.259><c>-year</c><00:00:50.640><c>-old</c><00:00:50.899><c> girl</c><00:00:51.439><c> awoke</c><00:00:52.159><c> in</c><00:00:52.299><c> her</c><00:00:52.539><c> bed</c><00:00:52.759><c> vomiting.</c>

00:00:54.340 --> 00:00:58.460
Her<00:00:54.539><c> mother</c><00:00:55.340><c> came</c><00:00:56.020><c> and</c><00:00:56.240><c> remade</c><00:00:56.719><c> the</c><00:00:56.979><c> bed</c><00:00:57.219><c> and</c><00:00:57.920><c> put</c><00:00:58.140><c> her</c><00:00:58.299><c> back</c>

00:00:58.460 --> 00:00:58.939
to<00:00:58.740><c> sleep.</c>

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.719
And<00:00:59.399><c> as</c><00:00:59.579><c> she</c><00:00:59.719><c> was</c><00:00:59.920><c> doing</c><00:01:00.200><c> so,</c><00:01:01.560><c> the</c><00:01:01.719><c> little</c><00:01:01.960><c> girl</c><00:01:02.219><c> said</c><00:01:02.460><c> to</c><00:01:02.640><c> her</c>

00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.780
that<00:01:02.880><c> she</c><00:01:03.039><c> had</c><00:01:03.259><c> seen</c><00:01:03.439><c> a</c><00:01:03.619><c> big</c><00:01:03.859><c> snake.</c>

00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:08.200
And<00:01:05.120><c> her</c><00:01:05.219><c> mother</c><00:01:05.420><c> assured</c><00:01:05.879><c> her</c><00:01:06.180><c> that</c><00:01:06.680><c> it</c><00:01:07.000><c> was</c><00:01:07.400><c> just</c><00:01:07.659><c> a</c><00:01:07.900><c> dream.</c>

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:10.700
But<00:01:08.840><c> in</c><00:01:08.959><c> the</c><00:01:09.099><c> morning,</c><00:01:09.400><c> she</c><00:01:09.560><c> was</c><00:01:09.859><c> gravely</c><00:01:10.340><c> ill.</c>

00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:13.540
And<00:01:11.200><c> they</c><00:01:11.359><c> took</c><00:01:11.519><c> her</c><00:01:11.780><c> to</c><00:01:12.000><c> a</c><00:01:12.000><c> hospital</c><00:01:12.540><c> where</c><00:01:12.799><c> she</c><00:01:12.959><c> was</c><00:01:13.260><c> treated</c>

00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:18.329
with<00:01:14.420><c> a</c><00:01:14.640><c> general</c><00:01:15.439><c> anti</c><00:01:16.500><c>-venom</c><00:01:16.939><c> for</c><00:01:17.280><c> snake</c><00:01:17.560><c> bite.</c>

00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:22.079
And<00:01:19.719><c> tests</c><00:01:19.920><c> later</c><00:01:20.379><c> showed</c><00:01:20.760><c> that</c><00:01:20.959><c> she</c><00:01:21.140><c> had</c><00:01:21.379><c> been</c><00:01:21.560><c> bitten</c><00:01:21.700><c> by</c><00:01:22.000><c> a</c>

00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.900
tiger<00:01:22.400><c> snake,</c><00:01:22.799><c> and</c><00:01:22.859><c> she</c><00:01:23.040><c> recovered</c><00:01:23.379><c> a</c><00:01:23.579><c> few</c><00:01:23.659><c> days</c><00:01:23.959><c> later.</c>

00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:29.760
Her<00:01:25.620><c> father</c><00:01:25.879><c> went</c><00:01:26.099><c> home</c><00:01:26.500><c> and</c><00:01:27.060><c> checked</c><00:01:27.239><c> out</c><00:01:27.480><c> the</c><00:01:27.640><c> room</c><00:01:27.819><c> and</c><00:01:28.060><c> found</c><00:01:28.739><c> just</c><00:01:29.280><c> a</c>

00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.760
little<00:01:30.019><c> hole</c><00:01:30.579><c> in</c><00:01:31.200><c> the</c><00:01:31.439><c> cupboard</c>

00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.700
to<00:01:32.659><c> which</c><00:01:32.900><c> the</c><00:01:33.260><c> snake</c><00:01:33.459><c> had</c><00:01:33.760><c> entered</c><00:01:34.000><c> her</c><00:01:34.359><c> room.</c>

00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:39.260
It<00:01:35.500><c> doesn't</c><00:01:35.760><c> take</c><00:01:36.060><c> much</c><00:01:36.680><c> for</c><00:01:37.319><c> a</c><00:01:37.620><c> snake</c><00:01:37.840><c> to</c><00:01:38.239><c> enter</c><00:01:38.379><c> our</c><00:01:38.659><c> lives</c>

00:01:39.260 --> 00:01:41.599
and<00:01:40.040><c> even</c><00:01:40.239><c> our</c><00:01:40.519><c> homes.</c>

00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.379
And<00:01:41.900><c> I'm</c><00:01:42.000><c> not</c><00:01:42.180><c> talking</c><00:01:42.420><c> about</c><00:01:42.799><c> the</c><00:01:43.620><c> literal</c><00:01:43.920><c> snake</c><00:01:44.280><c> anymore.</c>

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:50.879
The<00:01:46.120><c> Bible</c><00:01:46.400><c> tells</c><00:01:46.840><c> us</c><00:01:47.299><c> that</c><00:01:48.359><c> we</c><00:01:49.019><c> should</c><00:01:49.260><c> be</c><00:01:49.640><c> wary</c><00:01:50.099><c> of</c><00:01:50.599><c> the</c>

00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.299
serpent's<00:01:51.920><c> subtlety.</c>

00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:58.920
And<00:01:54.379><c> there's</c><00:01:54.519><c> both</c><00:01:54.780><c> a</c><00:01:54.939><c> positive</c><00:01:55.560><c> and</c><00:01:55.920><c> a</c><00:01:56.200><c> negative</c><00:01:56.459><c> aspect</c><00:01:57.260><c> to</c><00:01:57.959><c> this.</c>

00:01:59.060 --> 00:02:02.439
The<00:01:59.340><c> idea</c><00:01:59.719><c> is</c><00:02:00.099><c> to</c><00:02:00.459><c> lay</c><00:02:00.799><c> bare</c><00:02:01.299><c> the</c><00:02:01.659><c> situation.</c>

00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:07.459
So<00:02:03.299><c> you</c><00:02:03.459><c> can</c><00:02:03.799><c> lay</c><00:02:04.040><c> bare</c><00:02:04.239><c> a</c><00:02:04.519><c> situation</c><00:02:05.060><c> for</c><00:02:05.420><c> good,</c><00:02:06.879><c> or</c><00:02:07.019><c> you</c><00:02:07.120><c> can</c>

00:02:07.459 --> 00:02:10.379
lay<00:02:07.680><c> bare</c><00:02:08.120><c> a</c><00:02:08.400><c> situation</c><00:02:09.039><c> for</c><00:02:09.439><c> evil.</c>

00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:15.740
And<00:02:11.099><c> so</c><00:02:11.340><c> the</c><00:02:11.699><c> serpent</c><00:02:12.180><c> in</c><00:02:12.759><c> the</c><00:02:12.979><c> garden</c><00:02:13.259><c> to</c><00:02:13.479><c> begin</c><00:02:13.780><c> with</c><00:02:14.060><c> was</c><00:02:14.340><c> called</c><00:02:15.139><c> a</c>

00:02:15.740 --> 00:02:16.639
subtle<00:02:16.099><c> serpent,</c>

00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.300
the<00:02:16.900><c> most</c><00:02:17.719><c> subtle</c><00:02:17.939><c> of</c><00:02:18.159><c> all</c><00:02:18.560><c> the</c><00:02:18.780><c> beasts</c><00:02:18.979><c> of</c><00:02:19.199><c> the</c><00:02:19.439><c> field.</c>

00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:27.199
Now<00:02:20.759><c> the</c><00:02:20.879><c> facts</c><00:02:21.180><c> are</c><00:02:22.000><c> the</c><00:02:23.139><c> modern</c><00:02:23.580><c> day</c><00:02:23.860><c> snake</c><00:02:24.360><c> has</c><00:02:25.439><c> very</c><00:02:25.919><c> poor</c><00:02:26.500><c> eyesight.</c>

00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:32.939
And<00:02:28.020><c> it's</c><00:02:28.319><c> interesting</c><00:02:28.860><c> that</c><00:02:29.360><c> so</c><00:02:29.680><c> do</c><00:02:30.360><c> its</c><00:02:30.759><c> spiritual</c><00:02:31.460><c> progeny.</c>

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.500
They<00:02:33.659><c> seeing</c><00:02:34.080><c> see</c><00:02:34.580><c> not.</c>

00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.759
And<00:02:35.939><c> also</c><00:02:36.280><c> the</c><00:02:36.560><c> hearing</c><00:02:36.780><c> is</c><00:02:37.639><c> almost</c><00:02:37.919><c> nonexistent</c><00:02:38.659><c> than</c><00:02:38.879><c> hearing</c><00:02:39.159><c> they</c>

00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:40.460
hear<00:02:40.000><c> not.</c>

00:02:40.900 --> 00:02:43.479
Matthew<00:02:41.240><c> 13</c><00:02:41.939><c> verse</c><00:02:42.319><c> 13.</c>

00:02:43.699 --> 00:02:46.379
It's<00:02:43.919><c> interesting</c><00:02:44.259><c> in</c><00:02:44.400><c> relation</c><00:02:44.699><c> to</c><00:02:44.939><c> the</c><00:02:45.139><c> eye</c><00:02:45.400><c> that</c><00:02:45.879><c> there</c><00:02:46.159><c> is</c>

00:02:46.379 --> 00:02:48.300
no<00:02:46.680><c> eyelid</c><00:02:47.080><c> in</c><00:02:47.900><c> a</c><00:02:48.139><c> snake,</c>

00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.819
but<00:02:48.860><c> there's</c><00:02:49.259><c> a</c><00:02:49.500><c> scale</c><00:02:49.699><c> that</c><00:02:49.979><c> covers</c><00:02:50.379><c> the</c><00:02:50.740><c> eye</c><00:02:50.879><c> and</c><00:02:50.979><c> it's</c><00:02:51.240><c> often</c><00:02:51.580><c> shed</c>

00:02:51.819 --> 00:02:54.599
with<00:02:52.080><c> the</c><00:02:52.319><c> rest</c><00:02:52.580><c> of</c><00:02:53.259><c> the</c><00:02:53.520><c> skin</c><00:02:53.740><c> that</c><00:02:53.939><c> is</c><00:02:54.219><c> shed.</c>

00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:58.659
So<00:02:55.400><c> they</c><00:02:55.520><c> don't</c><00:02:55.780><c> see</c><00:02:56.080><c> well</c><00:02:56.719><c> and</c><00:02:57.259><c> they</c><00:02:57.360><c> don't</c><00:02:57.560><c> hear.</c>

00:02:59.139 --> 00:03:02.219
So<00:02:59.280><c> in</c><00:02:59.479><c> fact</c><00:02:59.680><c> in</c><00:02:59.860><c> a</c><00:03:00.039><c> natural</c><00:03:00.439><c> situation</c><00:03:01.240><c> if</c><00:03:01.560><c> you</c><00:03:01.719><c> were</c><00:03:01.879><c> to</c><00:03:02.020><c> come</c>

00:03:02.219 --> 00:03:04.360

00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:08.639
the<00:03:04.960><c> best</c><00:03:05.219><c> thing</c><00:03:05.400><c> to</c><00:03:05.560><c> do</c><00:03:05.639><c> would</c><00:03:05.879><c> be</c><00:03:06.000><c> to</c><00:03:06.199><c> move</c><00:03:06.360><c> very</c><00:03:07.060><c> slowly</c><00:03:07.539><c> because</c><00:03:08.199><c> they</c><00:03:08.300><c> might</c><00:03:08.500><c> not</c>

00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:10.439
even<00:03:08.860><c> notice</c><00:03:09.199><c> you.</c>

00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.560
But<00:03:11.159><c> ladies</c><00:03:11.620><c> you</c><00:03:11.740><c> can</c><00:03:11.939><c> yell</c><00:03:12.120><c> all</c><00:03:12.340><c> you</c><00:03:12.599><c> want</c><00:03:12.900><c> because</c><00:03:13.360><c> they</c>

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.319
won't<00:03:13.780><c> hear</c><00:03:14.099><c> you.</c>

00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.699
Now<00:03:17.319><c> they're</c><00:03:17.460><c> not</c><00:03:17.719><c> very</c><00:03:18.159><c> smart</c><00:03:18.639><c> either.</c>

00:03:20.139 --> 00:03:23.520
The<00:03:20.800><c> initial</c><00:03:21.419><c> serpent</c><00:03:21.819><c> was</c><00:03:22.180><c> intelligent.</c>

00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:25.960
Snakes<00:03:24.580><c> today</c><00:03:24.879><c> really</c><00:03:25.199><c> aren't</c><00:03:25.360><c> that</c><00:03:25.680><c> smart.</c>

00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.020
As<00:03:26.240><c> one</c><00:03:26.620><c> person</c><00:03:27.060><c> put</c><00:03:27.259><c> it,</c><00:03:27.479><c> the</c><00:03:27.599><c> animal</c><00:03:27.919><c> snakes</c><00:03:28.300><c> eat</c><00:03:28.520><c> are</c><00:03:28.699><c> a</c><00:03:28.719><c> lot</c>

00:03:29.020 --> 00:03:33.280
smarter<00:03:29.599><c> than</c><00:03:29.919><c> they</c><00:03:30.259><c> are</c><00:03:31.080><c> as</c><00:03:31.419><c> if</c><00:03:31.780><c> they're</c><00:03:32.259><c> alive.</c>

00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:37.219
So<00:03:33.919><c> the</c><00:03:34.259><c> subtlety</c><00:03:34.740><c> of</c><00:03:35.060><c> speech,</c><00:03:35.560><c> this</c><00:03:35.740><c> intelligence</c><00:03:36.400><c> that</c><00:03:36.860><c> the</c>

00:03:37.219 --> 00:03:38.240
initial<00:03:37.560><c> serpent</c><00:03:37.939><c> had</c>

00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:42.340
has<00:03:38.460><c> really</c><00:03:38.680><c> been</c><00:03:38.900><c> replaced</c><00:03:39.419><c> by</c><00:03:39.900><c> a</c><00:03:40.180><c> deceptive</c><00:03:40.860><c> behavior</c><00:03:41.560><c> that</c>

00:03:42.340 --> 00:03:43.919
God<00:03:42.560><c> has</c><00:03:42.800><c> given</c><00:03:42.979><c> it.</c>

00:03:44.259 --> 00:03:46.280
Instincts<00:03:44.919><c> which</c><00:03:45.280><c> they</c><00:03:45.560><c> act</c><00:03:45.800><c> upon.</c>

00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.840
But<00:03:46.879><c> the</c><00:03:48.199><c> results</c><00:03:48.780><c> are</c><00:03:49.120><c> equally</c><00:03:49.819><c> deadly.</c>

00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:53.960
And<00:03:51.120><c> so</c><00:03:51.240><c> we</c><00:03:51.379><c> know</c><00:03:51.580><c> of</c><00:03:51.800><c> the</c><00:03:52.080><c> image</c><00:03:52.379><c> of</c><00:03:52.639><c> this</c><00:03:52.900><c> snake</c><00:03:53.080><c> which</c><00:03:53.520><c> shows</c>

00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:56.159
its<00:03:54.340><c> tail</c><00:03:54.819><c> above</c><00:03:55.419><c> the</c><00:03:55.780><c> ground,</c>

00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:59.000
looking<00:03:56.539><c> like</c><00:03:56.800><c> a</c><00:03:56.979><c> tasty</c><00:03:57.280><c> worm</c><00:03:57.680><c> for</c><00:03:57.939><c> the</c><00:03:58.159><c> prey.</c>

00:03:59.180 --> 00:04:00.979
The<00:03:59.379><c> prey</c><00:03:59.580><c> comes</c><00:03:59.939><c> and</c><00:04:00.159><c> is</c><00:04:00.400><c> deceived.</c>

00:04:01.340 --> 00:04:04.780
And<00:04:01.539><c> through</c><00:04:01.759><c> this</c><00:04:03.080><c> subtlety,</c><00:04:03.580><c> through</c><00:04:03.800><c> this</c><00:04:04.240><c> foresight,</c>

00:04:04.860 --> 00:04:06.360
through<00:04:05.020><c> this</c><00:04:05.280><c> crafty</c><00:04:05.939><c> means,</c>

00:04:06.620 --> 00:04:09.379
the<00:04:06.800><c> prey</c><00:04:07.020><c> is</c><00:04:07.259><c> lured</c><00:04:07.520><c> in</c><00:04:07.680><c> and</c><00:04:07.879><c> ultimately</c><00:04:08.340><c> taken.</c>

00:04:09.539 --> 00:04:15.699
Now<00:04:09.819><c> we</c><00:04:09.860><c> have</c><00:04:10.000><c> an</c><00:04:10.219><c> example</c><00:04:10.719><c> of</c><00:04:11.039><c> the</c><00:04:11.840><c> subtlety</c><00:04:12.919><c> in</c><00:04:13.719><c> 1</c><00:04:14.020><c> Samuel</c><00:04:14.560><c> chapter</c><00:04:15.120><c> 23</c>

00:04:15.699 --> 00:04:18.079
and<00:04:15.860><c> it's</c><00:04:16.160><c> referring</c><00:04:16.540><c> to</c><00:04:17.160><c> David.</c>

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.399
And<00:04:18.740><c> it</c><00:04:18.939><c> says</c><00:04:19.079><c> here</c><00:04:19.279><c> that</c><00:04:19.480><c> he</c><00:04:19.600><c> was</c><00:04:19.879><c> very</c><00:04:20.439><c> subtle.</c>

00:04:21.459 --> 00:04:24.639
In<00:04:21.620><c> the</c><00:04:21.819><c> Hebrew</c><00:04:22.100><c> it</c><00:04:22.360><c> is</c><00:04:23.360><c> subtly,</c><00:04:23.939><c> subtly.</c>

00:04:25.100 --> 00:04:29.120
So<00:04:25.420><c> let's</c><00:04:25.699><c> just</c><00:04:25.980><c> pick</c><00:04:26.160><c> up</c><00:04:26.399><c> on</c><00:04:26.639><c> that</c><00:04:26.939><c> here</c><00:04:27.300><c> in</c><00:04:27.439><c> this</c><00:04:27.740><c> passage</c><00:04:28.180><c> where</c><00:04:28.480><c> it</c><00:04:28.740><c> says,</c>

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.680
Know<00:04:29.720><c> and</c><00:04:30.139><c> see</c><00:04:30.420><c> his</c><00:04:30.860><c> place</c><00:04:31.180><c> where</c><00:04:31.439><c> his</c><00:04:31.639><c> haunt</c><00:04:31.899><c> is,</c><00:04:32.459><c> says</c><00:04:32.560><c> Saul.</c>

00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.480
For<00:04:34.779><c> it</c><00:04:34.959><c> is</c><00:04:35.180><c> told</c><00:04:35.459><c> me</c><00:04:35.879><c> that</c><00:04:36.160><c> he</c><00:04:36.379><c> dealeth</c><00:04:36.660><c> very</c><00:04:37.220><c> subtly.</c>

00:04:38.899 --> 00:04:42.740
This<00:04:39.160><c> was</c><00:04:39.379><c> the</c><00:04:39.620><c> characteristic</c><00:04:40.079><c> of</c><00:04:40.379><c> David</c><00:04:40.639><c> as</c><00:04:40.959><c> he</c><00:04:41.720><c> hid</c><00:04:41.939><c> from</c><00:04:42.279><c> Saul.</c>

00:04:42.740 --> 00:04:46.680
See<00:04:43.800><c> therefore</c><00:04:44.420><c> and</c><00:04:44.860><c> take</c><00:04:45.100><c> knowledge</c><00:04:45.500><c> of</c><00:04:45.740><c> all</c><00:04:46.079><c> the</c><00:04:46.300><c> lurking</c>

00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.300

00:04:49.980 --> 00:04:53.079
And<00:04:50.139><c> amidst</c><00:04:50.439><c> the</c><00:04:50.579><c> picture</c><00:04:50.899><c> behind</c><00:04:51.319><c> these</c><00:04:51.680><c> words</c><00:04:52.040><c> on</c><00:04:52.300><c> your</c><00:04:52.519><c> screen</c><00:04:52.839><c> is</c>

in<00:04:53.259><c> fact</c><00:04:53.560><c> a</c><00:04:53.860><c> snake,</c>

00:04:58.180 --> 00:05:02.560
And<00:04:58.480><c> David</c><00:04:58.879><c> was</c><00:04:59.300><c> very</c><00:04:59.839><c> subtle,</c><00:05:00.720><c> subtle,</c><00:05:01.100><c> subtle</c><00:05:01.560><c> in</c><00:05:02.220><c> hiding</c>

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:03.819
from<00:05:02.920><c> Saul.</c>

00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:07.000
We've<00:05:04.639><c> already</c><00:05:04.879><c> come</c><00:05:05.120><c> across</c><00:05:05.480><c> this</c><00:05:05.839><c> word</c><00:05:06.000><c> a</c><00:05:06.160><c> number</c><00:05:06.399><c> of</c><00:05:06.680><c> times.</c>

00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:11.019
For<00:05:07.259><c> example,</c><00:05:07.699><c> in</c><00:05:07.779><c> the</c><00:05:07.899><c> men</c><00:05:08.019><c> of</c><00:05:08.220><c> Gibeon</c><00:05:09.060><c> who</c><00:05:09.759><c> did</c><00:05:10.180><c> work</c><00:05:10.500><c> wildly</c>

00:05:11.019 --> 00:05:12.819
or<00:05:11.540><c> craftily,</c>

00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.439
they<00:05:13.199><c> had</c><00:05:13.639><c> some</c><00:05:14.060><c> foresight.</c>

00:05:15.860 --> 00:05:19.100
And<00:05:15.980><c> that</c><00:05:16.220><c> foresight</c><00:05:16.699><c> was</c><00:05:17.000><c> used</c><00:05:17.300><c> to</c><00:05:17.579><c> deceive</c><00:05:17.899><c> Joshua</c><00:05:18.500><c> and</c><00:05:18.639><c> the</c><00:05:18.819><c> people</c>

00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:21.779
so<00:05:19.360><c> that</c><00:05:19.500><c> they</c><00:05:19.759><c> themselves</c><00:05:20.259><c> would</c><00:05:20.480><c> be</c><00:05:20.740><c> protected.</c>

00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:28.220
We<00:05:22.800><c> also</c><00:05:23.339><c> have</c><00:05:23.560><c> it</c><00:05:24.319><c> in</c><00:05:24.920><c> Psalm</c><00:05:25.339><c> 83</c><00:05:26.040><c> verse</c><00:05:26.439><c> 3</c><00:05:27.240><c> where</c><00:05:27.779><c> it</c><00:05:28.040><c> speaks</c>

00:05:30.579 --> 00:05:36.639
There<00:05:31.180><c> we</c><00:05:31.699><c> have</c><00:05:31.980><c> the</c><00:05:32.199><c> words</c><00:05:32.480><c> they</c><00:05:32.720><c> have</c><00:05:33.000><c> taken</c><00:05:33.439><c> crafty</c><00:05:34.259><c> counsel</c><00:05:34.839><c> against</c><00:05:35.439><c> thy</c><00:05:35.899><c> people</c>

00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.319
The<00:05:41.980><c> Arabs</c><00:05:42.480><c> in</c><00:05:42.680><c> their</c><00:05:42.920><c> dealings</c><00:05:43.339><c> with</c><00:05:43.860><c> the</c><00:05:44.180><c> Jews</c><00:05:44.560><c> have</c><00:05:44.939><c> been</c>

00:05:49.660 --> 00:05:53.920

It's<00:05:55.699><c> interesting</c><00:05:56.120><c> to</c><00:05:56.300><c> look</c><00:05:56.540><c> at</c><00:05:56.839><c> the</c><00:05:57.519><c> symbols</c><00:05:58.180><c> for</c><00:05:58.839><c> each</c><00:05:59.100><c> of</c>

00:05:59.259 --> 00:06:00.420
the<00:05:59.420><c> groups,</c>

00:06:00.459 --> 00:06:01.879
and<00:06:00.519><c> we</c><00:06:00.639><c> won't</c><00:06:00.819><c> go</c><00:06:01.079><c> through</c><00:06:01.220><c> it</c><00:06:01.399><c> in</c><00:06:01.500><c> detail,</c>

00:06:01.939 --> 00:06:05.120
but<00:06:02.100><c> maybe</c><00:06:02.360><c> you</c><00:06:02.500><c> can</c><00:06:03.259><c> see</c><00:06:03.620><c> the</c><00:06:03.879><c> images</c><00:06:04.180><c> from</c><00:06:04.439><c> where</c><00:06:04.620><c> you</c><00:06:04.879><c> are</c>

00:06:05.899 --> 00:06:10.160
that<00:06:06.879><c> they</c><00:06:07.420><c> make</c><00:06:07.579><c> it</c><00:06:07.860><c> very</c><00:06:08.459><c> clear</c><00:06:08.740><c> that</c><00:06:08.939><c> they're</c><00:06:09.379><c> interested</c>

00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.300
That's<00:06:12.300><c> right</c><00:06:12.560><c> up</c><00:06:12.860><c> front</c><00:06:13.259><c> in</c><00:06:13.939><c> their</c><00:06:14.180><c> mission</c><00:06:14.540><c> statements</c><00:06:14.980><c> and</c>

00:06:17.579 --> 00:06:21.060
The<00:06:17.680><c> middle</c><00:06:17.959><c> one,</c><00:06:18.300><c> the</c><00:06:18.500><c> Palestine</c><00:06:18.879><c> Liberation</c><00:06:19.379><c> Organization,</c><00:06:20.480><c> you</c><00:06:20.639><c> can</c><00:06:20.879><c> see</c>

00:06:21.060 --> 00:06:22.860
the<00:06:21.220><c> land</c><00:06:21.620><c> of</c><00:06:21.839><c> Israel.</c>

00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:28.220
And<00:06:23.600><c> with</c><00:06:23.819><c> others</c><00:06:24.100><c> you</c><00:06:24.259><c> can</c><00:06:24.560><c> see</c><00:06:24.759><c> the</c><00:06:25.100><c> land</c><00:06:25.540><c> with</c><00:06:26.100><c> the</c><00:06:26.399><c> guns</c><00:06:26.920><c> across,</c>

00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.000
that<00:06:28.779><c> land</c><00:06:29.199><c> that</c><00:06:29.459><c> is</c><00:06:29.620><c> occupied</c><00:06:30.279><c> by</c><00:06:30.939><c> the</c><00:06:31.240><c> Jew.</c>

00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.920
And<00:06:32.920><c> so</c><00:06:33.120><c> on</c><00:06:33.360><c> one</c><00:06:33.660><c> front</c><00:06:33.920><c> it's</c><00:06:34.160><c> very</c><00:06:34.699><c> plain,</c><00:06:35.160><c> but</c><00:06:35.300><c> as</c><00:06:35.519><c> they</c><00:06:35.759><c> use</c>

00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.300
the<00:06:36.240><c> political</c><00:06:37.019><c> methods,</c>

00:06:38.740 --> 00:06:42.199
they're<00:06:38.939><c> able</c><00:06:39.120><c> to</c><00:06:39.379><c> complement</c><00:06:39.699><c> them</c><00:06:39.899><c> with</c><00:06:40.220><c> the</c><00:06:40.620><c> terrorist</c><00:06:41.040><c> activity.</c>

00:06:42.620 --> 00:06:45.819
And<00:06:43.220><c> you</c><00:06:43.519><c> can</c><00:06:43.800><c> see</c><00:06:44.000><c> how</c><00:06:44.240><c> you</c><00:06:44.420><c> can</c><00:06:44.639><c> move</c><00:06:44.839><c> public</c><00:06:45.259><c> opinion,</c>

00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:51.959
and<00:06:46.040><c> yet</c><00:06:46.360><c> still</c><00:06:46.980><c> make</c><00:06:47.860><c> inroads</c><00:06:48.860><c> into</c><00:06:50.420><c> taking</c><00:06:50.959><c> back</c><00:06:51.339><c> the</c><00:06:51.600><c> land</c>

00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.939
and<00:06:52.220><c> getting</c><00:06:52.439><c> the</c><00:06:53.399><c> ends</c><00:06:53.759><c> that</c><00:06:54.079><c> you</c><00:06:54.459><c> desire.</c>

00:06:55.139 --> 00:06:58.839
And<00:06:55.319><c> so</c><00:06:55.560><c> they</c><00:06:55.800><c> are</c><00:06:55.980><c> described</c><00:06:56.439><c> here</c><00:06:56.720><c> in</c><00:06:56.920><c> Psalm</c><00:06:57.139><c> 83</c><00:06:57.519><c> very</c><00:06:57.980><c> aptly,</c><00:06:58.600><c> even</c>

00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.240
in<00:06:59.040><c> relation</c><00:06:59.459><c> to</c><00:06:59.639><c> how</c><00:06:59.800><c> they</c><00:07:00.019><c> act</c><00:07:00.180><c> today.</c>

00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:06.120
They've<00:07:01.620><c> taken</c><00:07:01.939><c> crafty</c><00:07:03.420><c> counsel</c><00:07:04.079><c> against</c><00:07:04.879><c> thy</c><00:07:05.160><c> people.</c>

00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.420
And<00:07:06.920><c> how</c><00:07:07.199><c> relevant</c><00:07:07.480><c> is</c><00:07:07.720><c> that</c><00:07:07.920><c> when</c><00:07:08.060><c> we</c><00:07:08.259><c> think</c><00:07:08.399><c> of</c><00:07:08.579><c> the</c><00:07:08.800><c> two</c><00:07:09.199><c> seeds,</c>

00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:13.680
the<00:07:10.920><c> seed</c><00:07:11.040><c> of</c><00:07:11.199><c> the</c><00:07:11.360><c> woman</c><00:07:11.620><c> in</c><00:07:12.040><c> a</c><00:07:12.240><c> literal</c><00:07:12.439><c> sense</c><00:07:12.740><c> and</c><00:07:12.899><c> the</c><00:07:13.199><c> seed</c>

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.980
of<00:07:14.759><c> the</c><00:07:15.060><c> serpent.</c>

00:07:17.060 --> 00:07:19.680
Now<00:07:17.420><c> it's</c><00:07:17.600><c> also</c><00:07:17.939><c> a</c><00:07:18.240><c> positive</c><00:07:18.800><c> characteristic.</c>

00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:24.199
For<00:07:20.600><c> example,</c><00:07:21.759><c> the</c><00:07:21.779><c> whole</c><00:07:22.120><c> of</c><00:07:22.379><c> the</c><00:07:22.399><c> book</c><00:07:22.560><c> of</c><00:07:22.879><c> Proverbs</c><00:07:23.279><c> was</c><00:07:23.579><c> written</c><00:07:23.899><c> to</c>

00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.439
give<00:07:24.600><c> subtlety</c><00:07:25.800><c> to</c><00:07:26.279><c> the</c><00:07:26.639><c> simple.</c>

00:07:27.740 --> 00:07:33.180
Those<00:07:28.019><c> who</c><00:07:28.199><c> are</c><00:07:28.480><c> open</c><00:07:28.779><c> or</c><00:07:29.019><c> vulnerable</c><00:07:29.800><c> are</c><00:07:31.319><c> to</c><00:07:31.540><c> receive</c><00:07:32.160><c> this</c><00:07:32.759><c> subtlety,</c>

00:07:33.339 --> 00:07:37.420
this<00:07:33.660><c> foresight,</c><00:07:34.379><c> this</c><00:07:34.540><c> ability</c><00:07:34.959><c> to</c><00:07:35.660><c> take</c><00:07:36.000><c> heed</c><00:07:36.199><c> and</c><00:07:36.420><c> to</c><00:07:36.620><c> beware.</c>

00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.000
Now<00:07:38.220><c> there's</c><00:07:38.339><c> an</c><00:07:38.519><c> excellent</c><00:07:38.779><c> passage</c><00:07:39.240><c> on</c><00:07:39.500><c> this,</c><00:07:39.779><c> and</c><00:07:39.899><c> we're</c>

00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.459
only<00:07:40.220><c> going</c><00:07:40.480><c> to</c><00:07:41.639><c> look</c><00:07:42.259><c> at</c><00:07:42.399><c> the</c><00:07:42.620><c> one.</c>

00:07:45.139 --> 00:07:47.879
And<00:07:45.740><c> I</c><00:07:46.339><c> see</c><00:07:46.600><c> that</c><00:07:46.759><c> it's</c><00:07:47.000><c> out</c><00:07:47.100><c> of</c><00:07:47.319><c> place</c><00:07:47.579><c> here.</c>

00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.120
So<00:07:48.939><c> I'm</c><00:07:49.040><c> not</c><00:07:49.240><c> going</c><00:07:49.360><c> to</c><00:07:49.379><c> put</c><00:07:49.540><c> it</c><00:07:49.680><c> in</c><00:07:49.839><c> front</c><00:07:49.939><c> here.</c>

00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:54.740
You<00:07:50.259><c> probably</c><00:07:50.680><c> have</c><00:07:50.899><c> it</c><00:07:51.100><c> in</c><00:07:51.300><c> your</c><00:07:52.120><c> notes</c><00:07:52.720><c> where</c><00:07:53.779><c> it</c><00:07:54.060><c> speaks</c><00:07:54.420><c> of,</c>

00:07:54.980 --> 00:07:58.220
A<00:07:54.980><c> prudent</c><00:07:55.259><c> man</c><00:07:55.639><c> foreseeeth</c><00:07:56.480><c> the</c><00:07:56.639><c> evil</c><00:07:56.899><c> and</c><00:07:57.220><c> hideeth</c><00:07:57.560><c> himself,</c>

00:07:58.660 --> 00:08:01.740
but<00:07:58.899><c> the</c><00:07:59.160><c> simple</c><00:07:59.399><c> pass</c><00:07:59.800><c> on</c><00:08:00.100><c> and</c><00:08:00.339><c> are</c><00:08:00.600><c> punished.</c>

00:08:02.540 --> 00:08:07.519
The<00:08:02.879><c> idea</c><00:08:03.360><c> is</c><00:08:03.860><c> that</c><00:08:04.199><c> the</c><00:08:04.480><c> man</c><00:08:04.759><c> of</c><00:08:05.160><c> prudence</c><00:08:05.600><c> or</c><00:08:06.180><c> the</c><00:08:06.579><c> subtle</c><00:08:06.920><c> man,</c>

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:12.680
it's<00:08:07.899><c> the</c><00:08:08.060><c> same</c><00:08:08.259><c> Hebrew</c><00:08:08.579><c> word,</c><00:08:09.420><c> can</c><00:08:09.680><c> foresee</c><00:08:10.660><c> the</c><00:08:11.519><c> evil.</c>

00:08:12.860 --> 00:08:15.199
And<00:08:13.500><c> he</c><00:08:13.660><c> does</c><00:08:13.899><c> something</c><00:08:14.300><c> about</c><00:08:14.699><c> it,</c>

00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:19.319
but<00:08:15.459><c> the</c><00:08:15.699><c> simple,</c><00:08:16.779><c> they</c><00:08:16.779><c> pass</c><00:08:17.040><c> on</c><00:08:17.740><c> and</c><00:08:18.060><c> suffer</c><00:08:18.259><c> the</c><00:08:18.540><c> consequences,</c>

00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:21.800
and<00:08:19.800><c> in</c><00:08:19.899><c> this</c><00:08:20.160><c> case</c><00:08:20.439><c> are</c><00:08:20.759><c> punished.</c>

00:08:21.819 --> 00:08:27.259
So<00:08:22.019><c> it</c><00:08:22.100><c> is</c><00:08:22.560><c> in</c><00:08:22.740><c> the</c><00:08:22.899><c> natural</c><00:08:23.300><c> situation,</c><00:08:24.019><c> an</c><00:08:24.220><c> animal</c><00:08:24.600><c> that</c><00:08:25.180><c> comes</c><00:08:25.519><c> close</c><00:08:26.139><c> to</c>

00:08:27.259 --> 00:08:28.939
this<00:08:27.920><c> serpent,</c>

00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.759
snake<00:08:29.420><c> that's</c><00:08:29.899><c> disguised</c><00:08:30.519><c> in</c><00:08:30.720><c> any</c><00:08:31.040><c> form</c><00:08:31.240><c> or</c><00:08:31.480><c> another,</c>

00:08:32.100 --> 00:08:35.399

00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:19.679
You<00:40:15.679><c> can't</c><00:40:15.840><c> run</c><00:40:15.980><c> away</c><00:40:16.159><c> from</c><00:40:16.320><c> your</c><00:40:16.519><c> marriage</c><00:40:16.860><c> despite</c><00:40:17.420><c> difficult</c><00:40:18.159><c> situations</c><00:40:18.780><c> that</c><00:40:19.039><c> might</c><00:40:19.219><c> be</c><00:40:19.480><c> there.</c>

00:40:19.739 --> 00:40:22.800
That's<00:40:20.039><c> not</c><00:40:20.239><c> the</c><00:40:20.320><c> way</c><00:40:20.599><c> to</c><00:40:21.000><c> deal</c><00:40:21.159><c> with</c><00:40:21.380><c> that</c><00:40:21.579><c> situation.</c>

00:40:35.099 --> 00:40:39.599
Another<00:40:35.360><c> example</c><00:40:35.900><c> of</c><00:40:36.579><c> this</c><00:40:36.980><c> is</c><00:40:37.480><c> in</c><00:40:37.659><c> 1</c><00:40:37.840><c> Corinthians</c><00:40:38.260><c> 10</c><00:40:38.719><c>.14.</c>

00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:47.860
What<00:40:44.000><c> is</c><00:40:44.219><c> idolatry?</c><00:40:45.559><c> It</c><00:40:45.639><c> is</c><00:40:45.960><c> covetousness.</c>

00:40:48.440 --> 00:40:52.519
In<00:40:48.679><c> short,</c><00:40:49.300><c> service</c><00:40:49.599><c> to</c><00:40:49.980><c> things</c><00:40:50.440><c> other</c><00:40:50.900><c> than</c><00:40:51.340><c> God.</c>

00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:55.099
And<00:40:53.360><c> we</c><00:40:53.460><c> need</c><00:40:53.659><c> to</c><00:40:53.920><c> flee</c><00:40:54.219><c> from</c><00:40:54.599><c> this.</c>

00:40:55.099 --> 00:40:58.639
Now<00:40:56.139><c> we</c><00:40:56.400><c> believe</c><00:40:56.940><c> something</c><00:40:57.420><c> inherently.</c>

00:40:59.739 --> 00:41:01.179
And<00:40:59.940><c> we've</c><00:41:00.139><c> all</c><00:41:00.320><c> tried</c><00:41:00.619><c> it.</c>

00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:06.519
We<00:41:01.900><c> believe</c><00:41:02.420><c> that</c><00:41:02.639><c> if</c><00:41:02.820><c> we</c><00:41:03.300><c> feed</c><00:41:03.960><c> our</c><00:41:05.000><c> lust,</c><00:41:05.480><c> if</c><00:41:05.659><c> we</c><00:41:06.000><c> feed</c><00:41:06.280><c> our</c>

00:41:10.099 --> 00:41:13.460
But<00:41:10.280><c> as</c><00:41:10.500><c> it</c><00:41:10.619><c> turns</c><00:41:10.880><c> out,</c><00:41:11.800><c> it's</c><00:41:12.000><c> like</c><00:41:12.199><c> putting</c><00:41:12.440><c> another</c><00:41:12.820><c> log</c><00:41:13.199><c> on</c>

00:41:15.179 --> 00:41:19.179
As<00:41:15.420><c> opposed</c><00:41:15.880><c> to</c><00:41:16.059><c> the</c><00:41:16.340><c> appetite</c><00:41:16.659><c> going</c><00:41:16.900><c> away,</c><00:41:17.179><c> it</c><00:41:17.380><c> just</c><00:41:18.039><c> builds.</c>

00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:23.559
The<00:41:20.840><c> appetite</c><00:41:21.199><c> doesn't</c><00:41:21.519><c> go</c><00:41:21.820><c> away,</c><00:41:22.559><c> it</c><00:41:22.860><c> grows.</c>

00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:28.619
It's<00:41:24.380><c> a</c><00:41:24.500><c> good</c><00:41:24.679><c> passage</c><00:41:25.260><c> in</c><00:41:26.219><c> Proverbs</c><00:41:26.800><c> on</c><00:41:27.039><c> this.</c>

00:41:29.159 --> 00:41:33.039
Hell<00:41:29.199><c> and</c><00:41:29.539><c> destruction</c><00:41:30.079><c> are</c><00:41:30.440><c> never</c><00:41:30.800><c> full,</c><00:41:31.920><c> so</c><00:41:32.159><c> the</c><00:41:32.400><c> eyes</c><00:41:32.699><c> of</c>

00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:45.940
I<00:41:43.139><c> think</c><00:41:43.139><c> you'll</c><00:41:43.500><c> get</c><00:41:43.739><c> your</c><00:41:44.300><c> fill</c><00:41:44.539><c> of</c><00:41:44.780><c> it.</c>

00:41:46.340 --> 00:41:49.280
No,<00:41:47.460><c> they're</c><00:41:47.699><c> never</c><00:41:48.019><c> satisfied.</c>

00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:56.320
The<00:41:51.960><c> person</c><00:41:52.300><c> who</c><00:41:52.599><c> covets</c><00:41:52.920><c> clothing,</c><00:41:53.860><c> as</c><00:41:53.920><c> an</c><00:41:54.159><c> example,</c><00:41:56.099><c> needs</c>

00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:03.539

this<00:42:03.760><c> problem?</c>

00:42:06.900 --> 00:42:11.239
It<00:42:07.199><c> wouldn't</c><00:42:07.400><c> be</c><00:42:07.739><c> to</c><00:42:09.039><c> be</c><00:42:09.480><c> thinking</c><00:42:09.739><c> upon</c><00:42:10.219><c> it</c><00:42:10.539><c> all</c><00:42:10.780><c> the</c><00:42:11.000><c> time.</c>

00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:25.039
We<00:42:21.219><c> have</c><00:42:21.380><c> to</c><00:42:21.579><c> work</c><00:42:21.719><c> in</c><00:42:21.840><c> our</c><00:42:22.019><c> minds,</c><00:42:22.659><c> to</c><00:42:22.960><c> evolve</c><00:42:23.260><c> it</c><00:42:23.420><c> in</c><00:42:23.599><c> other</c><00:42:23.860><c> activity,</c>
