00:06:06.420 --> 00:06:08.500
Well,<00:06:06.560><c> that's</c><00:06:06.699><c> what</c><00:06:06.879><c> Bartimaeus</c><00:06:07.480><c> is.</c>

when<00:14:38.179><c> he</c><00:14:38.340><c> heard</c><00:14:38.559><c> that</c><00:14:38.720><c> it</c><00:14:39.059><c> was</c><00:14:39.720><c> Jesus</c><00:14:40.519><c> of</c><00:14:41.039><c> Nazareth,</c>

00:14:42.899 --> 00:14:45.940
so<00:14:43.379><c> they</c><00:14:43.580><c> told</c><00:14:43.940><c> him</c><00:14:44.179><c> that</c><00:14:44.399><c> it</c><00:14:44.440><c> was</c><00:14:44.659><c> Jesus</c><00:14:44.980><c> of</c><00:14:45.299><c> Nazareth,</c><00:14:45.600><c> you</c><00:14:45.840><c> see.</c>

00:14:46.019 --> 00:14:48.620
And<00:14:46.100><c> when</c><00:14:46.240><c> he</c><00:14:46.360><c> heard</c><00:14:46.559><c> it</c><00:14:46.720><c> was</c><00:14:47.019><c> that</c><00:14:47.360><c> one,</c><00:14:47.820><c> brothers</c><00:14:48.100><c> and</c><00:14:48.379><c> sisters,</c>

So<00:16:36.700><c> he</c><00:16:36.840><c> had</c><00:16:37.159><c> seen</c><00:16:37.940><c> Jesus</c><00:16:38.679><c> of</c><00:16:39.399><c> Nazareth</c><00:16:40.879><c> as</c><00:16:41.720><c> the</c><00:16:41.980><c> King.</c>

00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:44.679
That's<00:16:43.440><c> how</c><00:16:43.620><c> he</c><00:16:43.700><c> saw</c><00:16:43.960><c> him.</c>

00:16:45.940 --> 00:16:47.860
But<00:16:46.120><c> it</c><00:16:46.159><c> wasn't</c><00:16:46.419><c> only</c><00:16:46.759><c> that,</c><00:16:47.179><c> brothers</c><00:16:47.299><c> and</c><00:16:47.539><c> sisters,</c>

00:16:47.899 --> 00:16:49.340
that<00:16:48.100><c> he</c><00:16:48.259><c> called</c><00:16:48.460><c> him</c><00:16:48.580><c> the</c><00:16:48.720><c> Son</c><00:16:48.899><c> of</c><00:16:49.059><c> David.</c>

00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.019
That<00:16:49.460><c> wasn't</c><00:16:49.740><c> the</c><00:16:49.860><c> only</c><00:16:50.120><c> reason.</c>

00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.700
He<00:16:52.080><c> was</c><00:16:52.279><c> to</c><00:16:52.480><c> call</c><00:16:52.639><c> that</c><00:16:52.879><c> out</c><00:16:53.120><c> twice,</c><00:16:53.860><c> and</c><00:16:53.980><c> not</c><00:16:54.139><c> only</c><00:16:54.340><c> twice,</c>

00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:56.519
but<00:16:55.139><c> as</c><00:16:55.259><c> the</c><00:16:55.460><c> record</c><00:16:55.639><c> will</c><00:16:55.820><c> have</c><00:16:55.879><c> us</c><00:16:56.019><c> to</c><00:16:56.179><c> understand,</c>

00:16:56.580 --> 00:16:59.299
he<00:16:56.659><c> was</c><00:16:56.919><c> to</c><00:16:57.259><c> keep</c><00:16:57.460><c> calling</c><00:16:57.759><c> it</c><00:16:57.960><c> out,</c><00:16:58.440><c> repetitively,</c>

00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:01.220
kept<00:16:59.580><c> calling</c><00:16:59.960><c> it</c><00:17:00.240><c> out</c><00:17:00.399><c> all</c><00:17:00.639><c> the</c><00:17:00.860><c> time.</c>

00:17:01.220 --> 00:17:04.640
But<00:17:01.720><c> he</c><00:17:01.940><c> linked</c><00:17:02.159><c> it</c><00:17:02.340><c> with</c><00:17:02.519><c> something</c><00:17:02.860><c> else,</c><00:17:04.000><c> too.</c>

00:17:05.059 --> 00:17:08.920
He<00:17:05.119><c> said,</c><00:17:05.500><c> Son</c><00:17:05.599><c> of</c><00:17:05.819><c> David,</c><00:17:07.299><c> have</c><00:17:07.440><c> mercy</c><00:17:07.799><c> on</c><00:17:08.079><c> me.</c>

00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:12.240
Now,<00:17:10.599><c> you</c><00:17:10.720><c> think</c><00:17:10.900><c> about</c><00:17:11.200><c> that.</c>

00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:16.319
This<00:17:12.960><c> blind</c><00:17:13.220><c> man</c><00:17:13.779><c> had</c><00:17:14.119><c> identified</c><00:17:14.660><c> him</c><00:17:14.960><c> with</c><00:17:15.119><c> a</c><00:17:15.319><c> disguised</c><00:17:15.819><c> carpenter,</c>

00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:18.500
yet<00:17:16.720><c> saw</c><00:17:17.019><c> him</c><00:17:17.140><c> as</c><00:17:17.319><c> the</c><00:17:17.579><c> King,</c>

00:17:19.500 --> 00:17:21.200
but<00:17:19.819><c> understood,</c><00:17:20.480><c> brothers</c><00:17:20.640><c> and</c><00:17:20.900><c> sisters,</c>

00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:25.279
that<00:17:21.359><c> there</c><00:17:21.460><c> was</c><00:17:21.640><c> something</c><00:17:21.960><c> about</c><00:17:22.400><c> David</c><00:17:22.880><c> that</c><00:17:23.779><c> spoke</c><00:17:24.059><c> about</c><00:17:24.420><c> mercy.</c>

00:17:25.740 --> 00:17:28.140
Now,<00:17:26.180><c> we</c><00:17:26.339><c> all</c><00:17:26.559><c> know</c><00:17:26.740><c> that's</c><00:17:27.119><c> true.</c>

00:17:28.579 --> 00:17:30.279
We're<00:17:28.880><c> all</c><00:17:29.019><c> well</c><00:17:29.220><c> aware,</c><00:17:29.640><c> brothers</c><00:17:29.720><c> and</c><00:17:30.039><c> sisters,</c>

00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.900
that<00:17:31.140><c> mercy</c><00:17:31.640><c> was</c><00:17:31.900><c> a</c><00:17:31.960><c> great</c><00:17:32.259><c> need</c><00:17:32.579><c> in</c><00:17:32.779><c> David's</c><00:17:33.420><c> personal</c><00:17:33.779><c> life.</c>

00:17:35.059 --> 00:17:37.500
But<00:17:35.059><c> did</c><00:17:35.259><c> you</c><00:17:35.420><c> ever</c><00:17:35.940><c> notice</c><00:17:36.539><c> in</c><00:17:36.740><c> the</c><00:17:36.900><c> Old</c><00:17:37.140><c> Testament</c>

00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:44.920
You<00:17:42.819><c> know</c><00:17:43.079><c> the</c><00:17:43.299><c> chapter</c><00:17:43.660><c> 2</c><00:17:44.019><c> Samuel</c><00:17:44.400><c> 7.</c>

00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:46.099
You<00:17:45.140><c> all</c><00:17:45.519><c> remember</c><00:17:45.880><c> that.</c>

00:17:46.099 --> 00:17:47.839
You<00:17:46.220><c> learned</c><00:17:46.420><c> that</c><00:17:46.579><c> at</c><00:17:46.700><c> your</c><00:17:46.880><c> baptism.</c>

00:17:47.859 --> 00:17:52.640
My<00:17:48.400><c> mercy</c><00:17:49.420><c> shall</c><00:17:50.119><c> not</c><00:17:50.579><c> depart</c><00:17:51.119><c> away</c><00:17:51.539><c> from</c><00:17:51.779><c> him.</c>

00:17:53.819 --> 00:17:57.559
That's<00:17:54.259><c> repeated</c><00:17:54.779><c> in</c><00:17:55.200><c> Psalm</c><00:17:55.599><c> 89,</c><00:17:56.559><c> brothers</c><00:17:56.880><c> and</c><00:17:57.079><c> sisters.</c>

00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.680
You<00:17:57.799><c> say,</c><00:17:59.640><c> oh,</c><00:17:59.799><c> well,</c><00:18:00.019><c> that's</c><00:18:00.359><c> okay.</c>

00:18:00.779 --> 00:18:02.299
What<00:18:00.920><c> about</c><00:18:01.180><c> this</c><00:18:01.420><c> one?</c>

00:18:03.019 --> 00:18:05.140
Isaiah<00:18:03.539><c> 55</c><00:18:04.059><c> and</c><00:18:04.259><c> verse</c><00:18:04.579><c> 3,</c>

00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:09.279
the<00:18:05.799><c> short</c><00:18:06.680><c> mercies</c><00:18:07.740><c> of</c><00:18:08.059><c> David.</c>

00:18:10.819 --> 00:18:12.400

00:18:13.579 --> 00:18:16.200
And<00:18:13.619><c> then</c><00:18:13.759><c> we</c><00:18:13.779><c> have</c><00:18:14.160><c> Isaiah,</c><00:18:14.720><c> sorry,</c><00:18:15.039><c> the</c><00:18:15.220><c> Psalm</c><00:18:15.460><c> 51,</c>

00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:18.720

00:18:18.819 --> 00:18:21.440
David<00:18:18.960><c> pathetically</c><00:18:19.700><c> called</c><00:18:20.059><c> on</c><00:18:20.259><c> the</c><00:18:20.380><c> Yahweh</c><00:18:20.579><c> to</c><00:18:20.759><c> have</c><00:18:21.039><c> mercy</c>

upon<00:18:21.740><c> him.</c>

00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:27.140
And<00:18:23.539><c> so</c><00:18:23.759><c> mercy</c><00:18:24.160><c> was</c><00:18:24.400><c> the</c><00:18:24.640><c> great</c><00:18:24.940><c> need</c><00:18:25.279><c> of</c><00:18:25.480><c> that</c><00:18:25.660><c> house,</c><00:18:26.180><c> brothers</c><00:18:26.319><c> and</c><00:18:26.599><c> sisters.</c>

00:18:27.140 --> 00:18:30.119
And<00:18:27.839><c> you</c><00:18:28.079><c> see</c><00:18:28.240><c> how</c><00:18:28.539><c> Yahweh</c><00:18:28.880><c> was</c><00:18:29.099><c> doing</c><00:18:29.380><c> this.</c>

00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.440
But<00:18:30.700><c> when</c><00:18:30.819><c> he</c><00:18:31.039><c> promised</c><00:18:31.359><c> mercy</c><00:18:31.660><c> through</c><00:18:31.900><c> the</c><00:18:32.059><c> promises</c><00:18:32.319><c> to</c><00:18:32.660><c> David,</c>

the<00:18:34.160><c> man</c><00:18:34.400><c> himself</c><00:18:34.920><c> had</c><00:18:35.319><c> had</c><00:18:35.440><c> experiences,</c><00:18:36.380><c> brothers</c><00:18:36.500><c> and</c><00:18:36.759><c> sisters.</c>

00:18:37.019 --> 00:18:39.299
Not<00:18:37.279><c> that</c><00:18:37.480><c> God</c><00:18:37.859><c> had</c><00:18:38.259><c> caused</c><00:18:38.440><c> him</c><00:18:38.599><c> to</c><00:18:38.720><c> do</c><00:18:38.819><c> these</c><00:18:39.140><c> things.</c>

00:18:39.460 --> 00:18:41.500
God<00:18:39.680><c> has</c><00:18:39.940><c> nothing</c><00:18:40.200><c> to</c><00:18:40.400><c> do</c><00:18:40.500><c> with</c><00:18:40.680><c> that.</c>

00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:43.700
But<00:18:41.960><c> God</c><00:18:42.200><c> knew</c><00:18:42.500><c> these</c><00:18:42.779><c> things</c><00:18:42.960><c> were</c><00:18:43.140><c> going</c><00:18:43.279><c> to</c><00:18:43.519><c> happen.</c>

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:45.559
The<00:18:44.119><c> things</c><00:18:44.299><c> did</c><00:18:44.579><c> happen.</c>

unjust<00:21:55.549><c> judge.</c>

00:21:56.410 --> 00:22:00.869
Will<00:21:56.569><c> not</c><00:21:56.970><c> God</c><00:21:57.430><c> respond</c><00:21:58.390><c> to</c><00:21:58.569><c> his</c><00:21:58.789><c> servants</c><00:21:59.210><c> who</c><00:21:59.690><c> said</c><00:21:59.829><c> that</c><00:22:00.130><c> parable</c><00:22:00.509><c> if</c>

00:22:00.869 --> 00:22:02.230
they<00:22:01.190><c> persist?</c>

00:22:02.809 --> 00:22:04.690
Brethren<00:22:03.329><c> and</c><00:22:03.549><c> sisters,</c><00:22:03.690><c> great</c><00:22:03.950><c> lesson</c><00:22:04.289><c> in</c><00:22:04.529><c> that.</c>

00:22:04.930 --> 00:22:08.190
Some<00:22:05.250><c> people</c><00:22:05.509><c> say,</c><00:22:05.930><c> oh,</c><00:22:06.230><c> I</c><00:22:06.450><c> prayed</c><00:22:06.650><c> to</c><00:22:06.890><c> God,</c><00:22:07.589><c> but</c><00:22:07.750><c> he</c><00:22:07.869><c> didn't</c>

00:22:08.190 --> 00:22:08.990
answer<00:22:08.430><c> my</c><00:22:08.730><c> prayer.</c>

00:22:09.049 --> 00:22:10.609
Or<00:22:09.170><c> if</c><00:22:09.309><c> he</c><00:22:09.450><c> did,</c><00:22:09.730><c> the</c><00:22:09.869><c> answer</c><00:22:10.089><c> was</c><00:22:10.329><c> no.</c>

00:22:10.789 --> 00:22:13.069
But<00:22:10.910><c> they</c><00:22:11.069><c> might</c><00:22:11.250><c> have</c><00:22:11.390><c> just</c><00:22:11.609><c> done</c><00:22:11.750><c> that</c><00:22:12.089><c> once.</c>

00:22:13.750 --> 00:22:16.589
How<00:22:14.309><c> often</c><00:22:14.650><c> do</c><00:22:14.829><c> we</c><00:22:14.950><c> pray,</c><00:22:15.390><c> brothers</c><00:22:15.549><c> and</c><00:22:15.809><c> sisters,</c><00:22:16.049><c> for</c><00:22:16.210><c> things</c><00:22:16.470><c> we</c>

00:22:16.589 --> 00:22:17.809
really<00:22:16.990><c> want?</c>

00:22:18.890 --> 00:22:21.150
Will<00:22:19.109><c> we</c><00:22:19.309><c> pray</c><00:22:19.609><c> according</c><00:22:19.950><c> to</c><00:22:20.130><c> our</c><00:22:20.329><c> need?</c>

00:22:21.789 --> 00:22:24.390
I'd<00:22:22.230><c> like</c><00:22:22.309><c> to</c><00:22:22.470><c> pray</c><00:22:22.589><c> for</c><00:22:22.750><c> a</c><00:22:22.869><c> better</c><00:22:23.009><c> throat</c><00:22:23.250><c> at</c><00:22:23.450><c> the</c><00:22:23.490><c> moment.</c>

00:22:25.170 --> 00:22:27.450
And<00:22:25.390><c> we've</c><00:22:26.069><c> got</c><00:22:26.150><c> to</c><00:22:26.289><c> be</c><00:22:26.470><c> rewarded,</c><00:22:26.809><c> brothers</c><00:22:27.150><c> and</c><00:22:27.369><c> sisters,</c>

00:22:27.529 --> 00:22:31.289
according<00:22:27.809><c> to</c><00:22:28.009><c> our</c><00:22:28.289><c> faith</c><00:22:28.710><c> and</c><00:22:30.210><c> our</c><00:22:30.829><c> persistence.</c>

00:22:31.430 --> 00:22:33.630
You<00:22:31.430><c> see,</c><00:22:31.950><c> faith</c><00:22:32.089><c> can</c><00:22:32.650><c> wax</c><00:22:32.990><c> and</c><00:22:33.430><c> wane.</c>

00:22:33.869 --> 00:22:35.009
Faith<00:22:34.170><c> can</c><00:22:34.450><c> fade</c><00:22:34.670><c> away.</c>

00:22:35.289 --> 00:22:37.910
It's<00:22:35.690><c> persistence</c><00:22:36.369><c> that's</c><00:22:36.809><c> required.</c>

00:22:38.529 --> 00:22:42.069
And<00:22:38.750><c> that</c><00:22:38.950><c> man</c><00:22:39.230><c> kept</c><00:22:39.650><c> calling</c><00:22:40.109><c> it</c><00:22:40.430><c> out</c><00:22:40.569><c> all</c><00:22:40.849><c> the</c><00:22:41.130><c> time.</c>

00:22:42.769 --> 00:22:48.490
In<00:22:43.009><c> the</c><00:22:43.269><c> finish,</c><00:22:44.849><c> Jesus</c><00:22:45.410><c> stood</c><00:22:46.170><c> still</c><00:22:47.190><c> and</c><00:22:47.650><c> commanded</c><00:22:48.130><c> him</c><00:22:48.329><c> to</c>

00:22:48.490 --> 00:22:48.990
be<00:22:48.769><c> called.</c>

00:22:48.990 --> 00:22:53.450
Now<00:22:49.289><c> that</c><00:22:49.430><c> is</c><00:22:49.809><c> the</c><00:22:49.809><c> most</c><00:22:50.210><c> unusual</c><00:22:51.069><c> thing</c><00:22:51.450><c> to</c><00:22:51.750><c> do</c><00:22:51.990><c> with</c><00:22:52.230><c> a</c><00:22:52.369><c> blind</c><00:22:52.569><c> man.</c>

00:22:54.210 --> 00:22:55.930
Would<00:22:54.430><c> you</c><00:22:54.630><c> ever</c><00:22:54.890><c> do</c><00:22:55.109><c> that?</c>

00:22:56.230 --> 00:23:00.730
Would<00:22:56.490><c> you</c><00:22:56.710><c> ever</c><00:22:57.509><c> stand</c><00:22:57.910><c> still</c><00:22:58.329><c> in</c><00:22:58.529><c> a</c><00:22:58.750><c> spot</c><00:22:59.069><c> and</c><00:22:59.710><c> call</c><00:23:00.210><c> a</c><00:23:00.509><c> blind</c>

00:23:00.730 --> 00:23:01.490
man<00:23:00.970><c> to</c><00:23:01.170><c> you?</c>

00:23:01.650 --> 00:23:02.750
Would<00:23:01.930><c> you?</c>

00:23:02.769 --> 00:23:04.549
It's<00:23:03.210><c> ridiculous.</c>

00:23:05.450 --> 00:23:07.769
You<00:23:05.710><c> would</c><00:23:06.069><c> never</c><00:23:06.390><c> do</c><00:23:06.690><c> that.</c>

00:23:08.170 --> 00:23:10.690
But<00:23:08.349><c> Jesus</c><00:23:08.930><c> stood</c><00:23:09.450><c> still,</c><00:23:10.329><c> it</c><00:23:10.329><c> says.</c>

00:23:10.690 --> 00:23:13.869
The<00:23:11.410><c> RSV</c><00:23:12.029><c> says</c><00:23:12.309><c> he</c><00:23:12.569><c> stopped.</c>

00:23:14.329 --> 00:23:17.170
Robaham<00:23:14.849><c> says</c><00:23:15.130><c> he</c><00:23:15.289><c> come</c><00:23:15.609><c> to</c><00:23:15.910><c> a</c><00:23:16.109><c> stand.</c>

00:23:18.089 --> 00:23:20.440
So<00:23:18.210><c> the</c><00:23:18.390><c> Greek</c><00:23:18.589><c> is</c><00:23:18.970><c> expressive</c><00:23:19.349><c> about</c><00:23:19.650><c> that.</c>

00:23:21.710 --> 00:23:23.490
He<00:23:21.890><c> stayed</c><00:23:22.109><c> where</c><00:23:22.430><c> he</c><00:23:22.490><c> was.</c>

00:23:24.029 --> 00:23:26.670
And<00:23:24.109><c> he</c><00:23:24.329><c> commanded</c><00:23:25.089><c> him</c><00:23:25.769><c> to</c><00:23:26.029><c> be</c><00:23:26.369><c> called.</c>

00:23:26.789 --> 00:23:28.130
Commanded<00:23:27.349><c> him</c><00:23:27.490><c> to</c><00:23:27.609><c> be</c><00:23:27.849><c> called.</c>

00:23:28.349 --> 00:23:29.849
Who<00:23:28.589><c> did</c><00:23:28.710><c> he</c><00:23:28.930><c> command?</c>

00:23:30.170 --> 00:23:33.569
Well,<00:23:30.349><c> he</c><00:23:30.529><c> commanded</c><00:23:30.869><c> the</c><00:23:31.109><c> many</c><00:23:31.329><c> who</c><00:23:31.509><c> told</c><00:23:31.829><c> him</c><00:23:31.990><c> to</c><00:23:32.150><c> hold</c><00:23:32.349><c> his</c><00:23:32.630><c> peace.</c>

00:23:34.650 --> 00:23:39.250
Jews<00:23:35.230><c> had</c><00:23:35.569><c> to</c><00:23:35.730><c> go</c><00:23:35.910><c> and</c><00:23:36.049><c> get</c><00:23:36.990><c> the</c><00:23:37.509><c> blind</c><00:23:38.009><c> man.</c>

00:23:39.589 --> 00:23:43.569
Son<00:23:40.109><c> of</c><00:23:40.230><c> the</c><00:23:40.589><c> filthy,</c><00:23:41.650><c> just</c><00:23:41.970><c> outside</c><00:23:42.269><c> of</c><00:23:42.470><c> Jericho</c><00:23:42.910><c> and</c><00:23:43.369><c> bring</c>

00:23:43.569 --> 00:23:44.970
them<00:23:43.710><c> to</c><00:23:43.829><c> Jesus.</c>

00:23:45.450 --> 00:23:46.869
Think<00:23:45.549><c> about</c><00:23:45.829><c> that.</c>

00:23:47.150 --> 00:23:49.210
You<00:23:47.190><c> know,</c><00:23:47.930><c> brethren</c><00:23:48.069><c> and</c><00:23:48.309><c> sisters,</c><00:23:48.589><c> have</c><00:23:48.630><c> you</c><00:23:48.650><c> ever</c><00:23:48.829><c> thought</c>

00:23:49.210 --> 00:23:50.549
that<00:23:49.490><c> in</c><00:23:49.690><c> Matthew</c><00:23:50.089><c> 28,</c>

00:23:50.569 --> 00:23:53.750
that<00:23:50.750><c> last</c><00:23:51.089><c> chapter</c><00:23:51.390><c> of</c><00:23:51.529><c> Matthew,</c><00:23:52.690><c> when</c><00:23:52.950><c> Jesus</c><00:23:53.309><c> said,</c>

00:23:54.250 --> 00:23:57.670
Go<00:23:54.450><c> ye</c><00:23:54.990><c> in</c><00:23:55.029><c> all</c><00:23:55.289><c> the</c><00:23:55.450><c> world</c><00:23:55.609><c> and</c><00:23:55.869><c> preach</c><00:23:56.089><c> the</c><00:23:56.329><c> gospel,</c><00:23:57.329><c> preach</c>

00:23:57.670 --> 00:23:59.589
the<00:23:57.890><c> gospel,</c><00:23:58.569><c> he</c><00:23:58.569><c> told</c><00:23:58.789><c> them.</c>

00:23:59.690 --> 00:24:02.910
But<00:23:59.950><c> if</c><00:24:00.049><c> you</c><00:24:00.190><c> come</c><00:24:00.390><c> back</c><00:24:00.630><c> to</c><00:24:00.849><c> Matthew</c><00:24:01.509><c> 28,</c><00:24:02.410><c> just</c><00:24:02.670><c> have</c><00:24:02.789><c> a</c><00:24:02.849><c> look</c>

00:24:02.910 --> 00:24:05.029
at<00:24:03.049><c> what</c><00:24:03.089><c> the</c><00:24:03.410><c> margin</c><00:24:03.670><c> says</c><00:24:03.990><c> about</c><00:24:04.269><c> that.</c>

00:24:06.369 --> 00:24:08.650
And<00:24:06.569><c> imagine</c><00:24:06.809><c> what</c><00:24:06.970><c> this</c><00:24:07.230><c> meant</c><00:24:07.410><c> to</c><00:24:07.670><c> a</c><00:24:07.869><c> Jew.</c>

00:24:09.589 --> 00:24:13.549
It<00:24:10.269><c> was</c><00:24:10.269><c> sent</c><00:24:10.490><c> with</c><00:24:10.690><c> this</c><00:24:10.890><c> commission</c><00:24:11.490><c> in</c><00:24:12.569><c> Matthew</c><00:24:12.910><c> 28</c><00:24:13.390><c> and</c>

00:24:13.549 --> 00:24:15.150
verse<00:24:13.829><c> 19.</c>

00:24:15.990 --> 00:24:17.750
Now<00:24:16.109><c> this</c><00:24:16.210><c> is</c><00:24:16.329><c> said</c><00:24:16.549><c> to</c><00:24:16.849><c> Jews.</c>

00:24:18.210 --> 00:24:21.789
Go<00:24:18.369><c> ye</c><00:24:18.609><c> therefore</c><00:24:19.069><c> and</c><00:24:19.630><c> teach</c><00:24:20.250><c> all</c><00:24:20.630><c> nations.</c>

00:24:22.049 --> 00:24:25.450
Now,<00:24:23.109><c> it's</c><00:24:23.289><c> not</c><00:24:23.710><c> very</c><00:24:24.150><c> difficult,</c><00:24:24.829><c> brethren</c><00:24:25.009><c> and</c><00:24:25.329><c> sisters,</c>

00:24:30.009 --> 00:24:36.109
Go<00:24:30.349><c> therefore</c><00:24:31.009><c> and</c><00:24:31.930><c> make</c><00:24:32.789><c> disciples</c><00:24:33.910><c> of</c><00:24:34.509><c> all</c><00:24:35.049><c> nations.</c>

00:24:36.349 --> 00:24:38.670
Now<00:24:36.730><c> just</c><00:24:37.009><c> ponder</c><00:24:37.329><c> that</c><00:24:37.490><c> for</c><00:24:37.690><c> a</c><00:24:37.829><c> moment.</c>

Not<00:24:41.890><c> very</c><00:24:42.329><c> difficult</c><00:24:42.650><c> to</c><00:24:42.809><c> give</c><00:24:42.930><c> a</c><00:24:43.069><c> lecture.</c>

00:24:45.009 --> 00:24:47.789
Fundamentals<00:24:45.430><c> of</c><00:24:45.589><c> the</c><00:24:45.809><c> truth,</c><00:24:46.190><c> they</c><00:24:46.190><c> should</c><00:24:46.329><c> be</c><00:24:46.470><c> at</c><00:24:46.549><c> the</c><00:24:46.710><c> fingertips</c><00:24:47.150><c> of</c>

00:24:51.630 --> 00:24:53.430
The<00:24:51.990><c> fundamentals,</c><00:24:52.369><c> I'm</c><00:24:52.589><c> saying.</c>

00:24:53.789 --> 00:24:55.569
It's<00:24:54.230><c> not</c><00:24:54.490><c> very</c><00:24:54.750><c> difficult,</c><00:24:55.130><c> is</c><00:24:55.329><c> it?</c>

00:25:03.190 --> 00:25:04.130
That's<00:25:03.609><c> not</c><00:25:03.809><c> difficult.</c>

00:25:04.390 --> 00:25:08.329
The<00:25:04.470><c> difficult</c><00:25:04.910><c> part</c><00:25:05.250><c> is,</c><00:25:07.150><c> for</c><00:25:07.329><c> somebody</c><00:25:07.670><c> in</c><00:25:07.829><c> the</c><00:25:08.009><c> audience,</c>

00:25:15.309 --> 00:25:17.089
That's<00:25:15.690><c> the</c><00:25:15.769><c> hard</c><00:25:16.029><c> part.</c>

00:25:18.329 --> 00:25:19.750
Make<00:25:18.849><c> them</c><00:25:19.130><c> a</c><00:25:19.289><c> disciple.</c>

00:25:20.009 --> 00:25:22.750
It's<00:25:20.190><c> all</c><00:25:20.349><c> right</c><00:25:20.549><c> telling</c><00:25:20.970><c> someone</c><00:25:21.329><c> about</c><00:25:21.589><c> the</c><00:25:21.809><c> truth,</c>

00:25:23.210 --> 00:25:26.210
but<00:25:23.490><c> the</c><00:25:23.690><c> commission</c><00:25:23.990><c> was,</c><00:25:24.910><c> make</c><00:25:25.250><c> them</c><00:25:25.569><c> disciples.</c>

00:25:26.650 --> 00:25:27.069
Who?

00:25:27.230 --> 00:25:27.950
The<00:25:27.430><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:25:28.369 --> 00:25:30.710
Mention<00:25:28.690><c> that</c><00:25:29.009><c> reaction</c><00:25:29.289><c> of</c><00:25:29.490><c> the</c><00:25:29.569><c> Jew</c><00:25:29.730><c> to</c><00:25:29.869><c> that.</c>

00:25:30.890 --> 00:25:32.750
Or<00:25:31.309><c> they'd</c><00:25:31.490><c> say,</c><00:25:31.730><c> well,</c><00:25:31.730><c> it's</c><00:25:31.809><c> difficult</c><00:25:32.089><c> enough</c><00:25:32.269><c> to</c><00:25:32.490><c> preach</c>

00:25:32.750 --> 00:25:34.289
to<00:25:32.950><c> the</c><00:25:33.049><c> Jews,</c><00:25:33.250><c> right?</c>

00:25:34.470 --> 00:25:36.329
But<00:25:34.690><c> how</c><00:25:34.890><c> are</c><00:25:34.970><c> you</c><00:25:34.970><c> going</c><00:25:35.109><c> to</c><00:25:35.289><c> make</c><00:25:35.569><c> disciples</c><00:25:35.990><c> of</c><00:25:36.130><c> people</c>

00:25:36.329 --> 00:25:36.730
like<00:25:36.569><c> that?</c>

00:25:36.849 --> 00:25:38.390
How<00:25:37.049><c> are</c><00:25:37.069><c> you</c><00:25:37.150><c> going</c><00:25:37.269><c> to</c><00:25:37.329><c> do</c><00:25:37.490><c> that?</c>

00:25:38.750 --> 00:25:41.269
That<00:25:39.309><c> would</c><00:25:39.470><c> be</c><00:25:39.609><c> an</c><00:25:39.950><c> exceedingly</c><00:25:40.490><c> difficult</c><00:25:40.910><c> task,</c>

00:25:46.069 --> 00:25:48.809
That's<00:25:46.210><c> why</c><00:25:46.390><c> Jesus</c><00:25:46.769><c> stood</c><00:25:47.069><c> still</c><00:25:47.289><c> and</c><00:25:47.410><c> said,</c><00:25:47.750><c> go</c><00:25:47.789><c> and</c><00:25:47.869><c> get</c><00:25:47.990><c> him.</c>

00:25:49.549 --> 00:25:51.589
And<00:25:49.829><c> you</c><00:25:49.930><c> can</c><00:25:50.069><c> imagine</c><00:25:50.390><c> the</c><00:25:50.529><c> reaction.</c>

00:25:52.190 --> 00:25:53.730
Come<00:25:52.329><c> back</c><00:25:52.450><c> to</c><00:25:52.609><c> Isaiah</c><00:25:52.990><c> 55.</c>

00:25:53.829 --> 00:25:55.869
Remember<00:25:54.009><c> the</c><00:25:54.289><c> sure</c><00:25:54.470><c> mercies</c><00:25:54.849><c> of</c><00:25:55.089><c> David?</c>

00:25:56.549 --> 00:25:58.390
What's<00:25:56.789><c> the</c><00:25:56.910><c> context</c><00:25:57.309><c> of</c><00:25:57.529><c> this?</c>

00:25:59.509 --> 00:26:02.130

Incline<00:26:09.430><c> your</c><00:26:09.789><c> ear</c><00:26:10.150><c> and</c><00:26:10.630><c> come</c><00:26:10.869><c> unto</c><00:26:11.089><c> me</c><00:26:11.410><c> here,</c><00:26:12.009><c> and</c><00:26:12.009><c> your</c><00:26:12.269><c> soul</c>

If<00:29:06.289><c> you</c><00:29:06.390><c> were</c><00:29:06.690><c> totally</c><00:29:07.029><c> blind,</c><00:29:08.049><c> you'd</c><00:29:08.289><c> be</c><00:29:08.470><c> hanging</c><00:29:08.630><c> onto</c><00:29:08.849><c> everything</c><00:29:09.130><c> you</c>

To<00:29:10.890><c> jump</c><00:29:11.410><c> to</c><00:29:11.589><c> your</c><00:29:11.829><c> feet</c><00:29:12.150><c> like</c><00:29:12.529><c> an</c><00:29:12.910><c> electric</c><00:29:13.049><c> shock,</c><00:29:13.710><c> whip</c>

00:29:18.450 --> 00:29:21.410
that<00:29:18.670><c> he'd</c><00:29:18.789><c> have</c><00:29:18.950><c> to</c><00:29:19.390><c> look</c><00:29:19.589><c> for</c><00:29:19.730><c> that</c><00:29:19.950><c> later</c><00:29:20.130><c> on</c><00:29:20.289><c> and</c><00:29:20.430><c> find</c><00:29:20.690><c> it.</c>

00:29:21.569 --> 00:29:23.049
Threw<00:29:21.829><c> it</c><00:29:22.009><c> away!</c>

00:29:23.849 --> 00:29:27.410
Because<00:29:24.289><c> he</c><00:29:24.450><c> saw</c><00:29:24.690><c> it</c><00:29:24.869><c> as</c><00:29:25.109><c> some</c><00:29:25.430><c> impediment</c><00:29:25.970><c> to</c><00:29:26.150><c> his</c><00:29:26.430><c> progress.</c>

00:29:28.329 --> 00:29:30.890
But<00:29:28.569><c> it's</c><00:29:28.670><c> a</c><00:29:28.730><c> little</c><00:29:28.950><c> detail</c><00:29:29.349><c> that's</c><00:29:29.630><c> added</c><00:29:29.769><c> there,</c><00:29:30.029><c> isn't</c><00:29:30.230><c> it,</c><00:29:30.430><c> of</c>

00:29:30.890 --> 00:29:32.490
what<00:29:31.130><c> was</c><00:29:31.349><c> in</c><00:29:31.430><c> his</c><00:29:31.690><c> mind.</c>

00:29:32.829 --> 00:29:35.589
And<00:29:33.269><c> he</c><00:29:33.509><c> flung</c><00:29:33.789><c> that</c><00:29:34.009><c> away</c><00:29:34.289><c> because</c><00:29:34.589><c> he</c><00:29:34.809><c> must</c><00:29:35.109><c> have</c><00:29:35.309><c> believed</c>

00:29:35.589 --> 00:29:37.990
that<00:29:36.049><c> he'd</c><00:29:36.390><c> find</c><00:29:36.569><c> it</c><00:29:36.710><c> later</c><00:29:37.069><c> on.</c>

00:29:38.150 --> 00:29:40.329
But<00:29:38.329><c> you</c><00:29:38.450><c> don't</c><00:29:38.630><c> see</c><00:29:38.970><c> blind</c><00:29:39.170><c> men</c><00:29:39.369><c> just</c><00:29:39.690><c> putting</c><00:29:39.869><c> things</c><00:29:40.130><c> out</c>

00:29:42.769 --> 00:29:45.230
Because<00:29:43.190><c> they</c><00:29:43.349><c> know</c><00:29:43.589><c> that</c><00:29:43.750><c> out</c><00:29:43.849><c> of</c><00:29:43.950><c> their</c><00:29:44.150><c> reach,</c><00:29:44.549><c> they've</c><00:29:44.789><c> just</c><00:29:45.029><c> got</c><00:29:45.130><c> to</c>

get<00:29:45.450><c> kicked</c><00:29:45.589><c> out</c><00:29:45.769><c> of</c><00:29:45.849><c> there</c>

00:29:46.049 --> 00:29:47.150
a<00:29:46.069><c> bit</c><00:29:46.230><c> further,</c><00:29:46.670><c> and</c><00:29:46.869><c> it's</c><00:29:46.990><c> gone.</c>

00:29:47.230 --> 00:29:49.269
They<00:29:47.430><c> wouldn't</c><00:29:47.690><c> know</c><00:29:47.890><c> where</c><00:29:48.130><c> it's</c><00:29:48.410><c> gone.</c>

00:29:49.470 --> 00:29:51.029
And<00:29:49.630><c> he</c><00:29:49.690><c> didn't</c><00:29:50.009><c> care.</c>

00:29:51.690 --> 00:29:53.910
And<00:29:51.849><c> he</c><00:29:52.049><c> springs</c><00:29:52.289><c> to</c><00:29:52.470><c> his</c><00:29:52.710><c> feet,</c><00:29:52.890><c> and</c><00:29:53.009><c> he</c><00:29:53.049><c> comes</c><00:29:53.329><c> to</c><00:29:53.509><c> the</c><00:29:53.650><c> Lord.</c>

00:29:54.269 --> 00:30:00.069
Now<00:29:54.430><c> the</c><00:29:54.490><c> Lord</c><00:29:54.970><c> asks</c><00:29:55.730><c> him</c><00:29:56.349><c> what</c><00:29:57.750><c> would</c><00:29:57.990><c> appear</c><00:29:58.289><c> to</c><00:29:58.470><c> us</c><00:29:58.710><c> to</c><00:29:58.950><c> be</c>

00:30:00.069 --> 00:30:02.130
such<00:30:00.549><c> an</c><00:30:00.789><c> obvious</c><00:30:01.089><c> question.</c>

00:30:02.150 --> 00:30:03.369
It's<00:30:02.630><c> so</c><00:30:03.009><c> obvious.</c>

00:30:03.490 --> 00:30:06.049
He<00:30:03.890><c> said</c><00:30:04.170><c> to</c><00:30:04.269><c> him</c><00:30:04.410><c> in</c><00:30:04.470><c> verse</c><00:30:04.809><c> 51,</c>

00:30:06.670 --> 00:30:10.710
What<00:30:07.150><c> wilt</c><00:30:07.630><c> thou</c><00:30:07.990><c> that</c><00:30:08.970><c> I</c><00:30:09.210><c> should</c><00:30:09.349><c> do</c><00:30:09.549><c> unto</c><00:30:09.869><c> thee?</c>

00:30:11.170 --> 00:30:15.430
Now<00:30:11.390><c> that</c><00:30:11.569><c> is</c><00:30:11.890><c> almost</c><00:30:12.549><c> so</c><00:30:13.990><c> obvious,</c><00:30:14.470><c> it's</c><00:30:14.609><c> almost</c><00:30:14.910><c> ridiculous.</c>

00:30:15.630 --> 00:30:18.789
It's<00:30:15.829><c> not</c><00:30:16.009><c> ridiculous,</c><00:30:16.450><c> of</c><00:30:16.710><c> course,</c><00:30:16.930><c> because</c><00:30:17.089><c> the</c><00:30:17.250><c> Lord</c><00:30:17.369><c> asked</c><00:30:17.690><c> the</c><00:30:17.829><c> question.</c>

00:30:18.890 --> 00:30:21.750
But,<00:30:19.390><c> you</c><00:30:19.569><c> know,</c><00:30:19.690><c> to</c><00:30:19.890><c> an</c><00:30:20.069><c> onlooker</c><00:30:20.490><c> who</c><00:30:20.630><c> didn't</c><00:30:20.869><c> know</c><00:30:21.069><c> who</c><00:30:21.250><c> he</c><00:30:21.430><c> was,</c>

00:30:21.990 --> 00:30:24.450
they'd<00:30:22.210><c> think</c><00:30:22.329><c> to</c><00:30:22.450><c> himself,</c><00:30:23.190><c> well,</c><00:30:23.289><c> for</c><00:30:23.490><c> crying</c><00:30:23.750><c> out</c><00:30:24.109><c> loud,</c>

00:30:24.890 --> 00:30:26.789
it's<00:30:25.250><c> obvious</c><00:30:25.549><c> what</c><00:30:25.769><c> he</c><00:30:25.950><c> wants,</c><00:30:26.250><c> isn't</c><00:30:26.490><c> it?</c>

00:30:27.190 --> 00:30:29.329
Well,<00:30:27.450><c> why</c><00:30:27.710><c> did</c><00:30:27.869><c> the</c><00:30:28.009><c> Lord</c><00:30:28.150><c> ask</c><00:30:28.430><c> that</c><00:30:28.650><c> question,</c><00:30:29.170><c> brothers</c>

00:30:29.329 --> 00:30:30.410
and<00:30:29.569><c> sisters?</c>

00:30:30.650 --> 00:30:33.089
You<00:30:31.049><c> see,</c><00:30:31.569><c> yes,</c><00:30:31.809><c> it</c><00:30:31.869><c> was</c><00:30:32.150><c> obvious.</c>

00:30:33.849 --> 00:30:37.630
But<00:30:33.990><c> what</c><00:30:34.170><c> was</c><00:30:34.450><c> not</c><00:30:34.650><c> obvious</c><00:30:35.289><c> was</c><00:30:36.650><c> whether</c><00:30:36.890><c> that</c><00:30:37.190><c> blind</c><00:30:37.349><c> man</c>

00:30:37.630 --> 00:30:39.450
believed<00:30:37.910><c> he</c><00:30:38.029><c> could</c><00:30:38.230><c> give</c><00:30:38.349><c> him</c><00:30:38.569><c> his</c><00:30:38.769><c> sight.</c>

00:30:39.990 --> 00:30:41.869
He<00:30:40.109><c> could</c><00:30:40.230><c> have</c><00:30:40.369><c> had</c><00:30:40.470><c> an</c><00:30:40.470><c> opportunity</c><00:30:40.950><c> to</c><00:30:41.130><c> ask</c><00:30:41.369><c> him</c><00:30:41.490><c> for</c><00:30:41.690><c> an</c>

00:30:41.869 --> 00:30:43.970
arms,<00:30:42.769><c> couldn't</c><00:30:42.970><c> he?</c>

00:30:44.390 --> 00:30:46.390
He<00:30:44.650><c> could</c><00:30:44.730><c> have</c><00:30:44.869><c> had</c><00:30:44.970><c> an</c><00:30:45.009><c> opportunity</c><00:30:45.470><c> to</c><00:30:45.650><c> ask</c><00:30:45.910><c> him</c><00:30:46.049><c> for</c><00:30:46.210><c> some</c>

00:30:46.390 --> 00:30:48.130
form<00:30:46.569><c> of</c><00:30:46.829><c> help</c><00:30:47.009><c> in</c><00:30:47.190><c> some</c><00:30:47.309><c> other</c><00:30:47.509><c> way,</c>

00:30:48.609 --> 00:30:51.470
not<00:30:48.930><c> believing</c><00:30:49.529><c> that</c><00:30:49.750><c> the</c><00:30:49.890><c> Lord</c><00:30:50.009><c> could</c><00:30:50.250><c> give</c><00:30:50.390><c> him</c><00:30:50.549><c> his</c><00:30:50.730><c> sight.</c>

00:30:51.650 --> 00:30:53.309
So<00:30:51.890><c> it</c><00:30:51.930><c> wasn't</c><00:30:52.250><c> a</c><00:30:52.450><c> ridiculous</c><00:30:52.910><c> question.</c>

00:30:53.410 --> 00:30:55.210
It<00:30:53.549><c> was</c><00:30:53.809><c> a</c><00:30:53.910><c> good</c><00:30:54.150><c> question.</c>

00:30:55.390 --> 00:30:57.930
Because<00:30:55.589><c> Jesus</c><00:30:55.970><c> wanted</c><00:30:56.250><c> to</c><00:30:56.490><c> know</c><00:30:56.750><c> whether</c><00:30:57.069><c> he</c><00:30:57.450><c> believed</c><00:30:57.869><c> he</c>

00:30:57.930 --> 00:30:59.390
could<00:30:58.089><c> get</c><00:30:58.269><c> his</c><00:30:58.509><c> sight.</c>

00:30:59.910 --> 00:31:03.809
It<00:31:00.329><c> was</c><00:31:00.630><c> obvious</c><00:31:00.930><c> what</c><00:31:01.170><c> he</c><00:31:01.369><c> needed,</c><00:31:02.369><c> but</c><00:31:02.609><c> did</c><00:31:02.910><c> he</c><00:31:03.130><c> believe</c><00:31:03.569><c> that</c><00:31:03.730><c> he</c>

00:31:03.809 --> 00:31:04.430
could<00:31:03.970><c> get</c><00:31:04.170><c> it?</c>

00:31:04.609 --> 00:31:06.450
That's<00:31:04.910><c> the</c><00:31:05.029><c> point,</c><00:31:05.390><c> isn't</c><00:31:05.529><c> it?</c>

00:31:06.529 --> 00:31:09.130
And,<00:31:06.609><c> you</c><00:31:06.730><c> know,</c><00:31:07.009><c> it's</c><00:31:07.269><c> all</c><00:31:07.430><c> very</c><00:31:07.690><c> well</c><00:31:07.829><c> to</c><00:31:08.049><c> say,</c><00:31:08.549><c> oh,</c><00:31:08.789><c> yes,</c><00:31:09.029><c> he</c>

00:31:09.130 --> 00:31:10.130
had<00:31:09.410><c> faith</c><00:31:09.630><c> and</c><00:31:09.769><c> all</c><00:31:09.970><c> that.</c>

00:31:10.289 --> 00:31:13.289
That's<00:31:10.589><c> okay,</c><00:31:11.109><c> brothers</c><00:31:11.210><c> and</c><00:31:11.470><c> sisters,</c><00:31:11.670><c> we've</c><00:31:11.849><c> got</c><00:31:11.990><c> all</c><00:31:12.190><c> our</c><00:31:12.410><c> faculties.</c>

00:31:14.009 --> 00:31:17.630
I<00:31:14.410><c> sometimes</c><00:31:14.730><c> wonder,</c><00:31:15.369><c> you</c><00:31:15.730><c> know,</c><00:31:16.130><c> we</c><00:31:16.470><c> talk</c><00:31:16.750><c> so</c><00:31:17.029><c> glibly</c><00:31:17.289><c> about</c>

00:31:17.630 --> 00:31:18.990
these<00:31:18.029><c> incidents</c><00:31:18.329><c> in</c><00:31:18.569><c> the</c><00:31:18.690><c> Bible,</c>

00:31:19.349 --> 00:31:21.970
but,<00:31:19.630><c> you</c><00:31:19.670><c> know,</c><00:31:19.910><c> you</c><00:31:20.089><c> put</c><00:31:20.269><c> yourself</c><00:31:20.589><c> in</c><00:31:20.809><c> these</c><00:31:21.109><c> people's</c><00:31:21.690><c> position.</c>

00:31:22.470 --> 00:31:26.730
You<00:31:22.809><c> take</c><00:31:23.150><c> people</c><00:31:23.470><c> today</c><00:31:23.910><c> with</c><00:31:25.190><c> great</c><00:31:25.470><c> disabilities.</c>

00:31:27.369 --> 00:31:29.410
It's<00:31:27.529><c> all</c><00:31:27.670><c> very</c><00:31:27.890><c> well</c><00:31:28.029><c> to</c><00:31:28.230><c> say</c><00:31:28.410><c> faith</c><00:31:28.710><c> is</c><00:31:28.950><c> necessary,</c>

00:31:29.410 --> 00:31:31.349
but<00:31:29.670><c> you</c><00:31:29.990><c> put</c><00:31:30.210><c> yourself</c><00:31:30.529><c> in</c><00:31:30.670><c> their</c><00:31:30.809><c> situation.</c>

00:31:31.529 --> 00:31:33.049
This<00:31:31.609><c> man</c><00:31:31.869><c> is</c><00:31:32.490><c> blind.</c>

00:31:33.130 --> 00:31:34.950
He<00:31:33.390><c> cannot</c><00:31:34.109><c> see.</c>

00:31:37.170 --> 00:31:39.849
The<00:31:37.309><c> question</c><00:31:37.730><c> comes</c><00:31:38.069><c> to</c><00:31:38.309><c> a</c><00:31:38.410><c> man</c><00:31:38.589><c> in</c><00:31:38.789><c> darkness.</c>

00:31:40.269 --> 00:31:41.750
What<00:31:40.410><c> do</c><00:31:40.549><c> you</c><00:31:40.549><c> want</c><00:31:40.710><c> me</c><00:31:40.910><c> to</c><00:31:41.049><c> do?</c>

00:31:43.130 --> 00:31:44.710
And<00:31:43.250><c> he</c><00:31:43.349><c> knows</c><00:31:43.630><c> what</c><00:31:43.930><c> the</c><00:31:44.170><c> Lord</c><00:31:44.329><c> means.</c>

00:31:45.069 --> 00:31:47.750
The<00:31:45.109><c> Lord</c><00:31:45.269><c> is</c><00:31:45.509><c> saying,</c><00:31:45.849><c> in</c><00:31:45.849><c> effect,</c><00:31:46.869><c> I</c><00:31:47.009><c> know</c><00:31:47.170><c> what</c><00:31:47.329><c> you</c><00:31:47.509><c> need.</c>

00:31:48.009 --> 00:31:49.309
I<00:31:48.130><c> know</c><00:31:48.250><c> what</c><00:31:48.410><c> your</c><00:31:48.589><c> great</c><00:31:48.869><c> need</c><00:31:49.049><c> is.</c>

00:31:49.450 --> 00:31:52.089
I<00:31:49.589><c> want</c><00:31:49.769><c> to</c><00:31:49.910><c> know</c><00:31:50.089><c> whether</c><00:31:50.329><c> you</c><00:31:50.630><c> believe</c><00:31:50.890><c> I</c><00:31:51.049><c> can</c><00:31:51.190><c> do</c><00:31:51.390><c> it.</c>

00:31:53.730 --> 00:31:56.210
And<00:31:53.910><c> it's</c><00:31:54.069><c> all</c><00:31:54.190><c> very</c><00:31:54.349><c> well</c><00:31:54.470><c> saying,</c><00:31:54.869><c> brothers</c><00:31:55.009><c> and</c><00:31:55.269><c> sisters,</c><00:31:55.490><c> well,</c>

of<00:31:56.529><c> course,</c><00:31:56.769><c> he'd</c><00:31:56.869><c> say</c><00:31:57.130><c> yes,</c><00:31:58.170><c> because</c><00:31:58.190><c> it</c><00:31:58.769><c> was</c><00:31:58.950><c> a</c><00:31:59.069><c> 50</c><00:31:59.329><c>-50</c><00:31:59.650><c> chance.</c>

00:32:00.089 --> 00:32:02.670
No,<00:32:00.490><c> it</c><00:32:00.490><c> wasn't,</c><00:32:01.170><c> because</c><00:32:01.490><c> if</c><00:32:01.650><c> he</c><00:32:01.710><c> didn't</c><00:32:01.950><c> really</c><00:32:02.269><c> believe</c><00:32:02.509><c> it,</c>

00:32:02.670 --> 00:32:04.190
he<00:32:02.710><c> wouldn't</c><00:32:02.910><c> have</c><00:32:03.049><c> got</c><00:32:03.170><c> his</c><00:32:03.490><c> sight.</c>

00:32:04.930 --> 00:32:06.430
And<00:32:05.130><c> you</c><00:32:05.230><c> know</c><00:32:05.349><c> what</c><00:32:05.430><c> he</c><00:32:05.509><c> did?</c>

00:32:07.549 --> 00:32:09.890
Before<00:32:08.029><c> he</c><00:32:08.329><c> asked</c><00:32:08.589><c> for</c><00:32:08.730><c> his</c><00:32:08.970><c> sight,</c><00:32:09.170><c> he</c><00:32:09.349><c> addressed</c><00:32:09.650><c> him.</c>

00:32:09.890 --> 00:32:10.809
He<00:32:10.029><c> gave</c><00:32:10.230><c> him</c><00:32:10.470><c> a</c><00:32:10.589><c> title.</c>

00:32:10.849 --> 00:32:13.349
He<00:32:10.990><c> called</c><00:32:11.250><c> him</c><00:32:12.369><c> Rabonai.</c>

00:32:16.670 --> 00:32:22.690
Now,<00:32:17.150><c> that's</c><00:32:17.589><c> rabbi,</c><00:32:18.910><c> but</c><00:32:19.089><c> it's</c><00:32:20.130><c> an</c><00:32:20.289><c> augmentation</c><00:32:21.009><c> of</c><00:32:21.710><c> rabbi.</c>

00:32:22.990 --> 00:32:25.009
It's<00:32:23.430><c> an</c><00:32:23.569><c> addition</c><00:32:23.970><c> to</c><00:32:24.269><c> it.</c>

00:32:25.150 --> 00:32:28.049
It's<00:32:25.589><c> not</c><00:32:25.789><c> just</c><00:32:26.210><c> rabbi,</c><00:32:26.750><c> brothers</c><00:32:26.950><c> and</c><00:32:27.150><c> sisters.</c>

00:32:28.230 --> 00:32:33.390
It's<00:32:28.529><c> a</c><00:32:28.750><c> term,</c><00:32:29.269><c> a</c><00:32:29.430><c> title</c><00:32:29.730><c> that's</c><00:32:29.950><c> only</c><00:32:30.289><c> used</c><00:32:31.130><c> twice</c><00:32:31.910><c> in</c><00:32:32.329><c> the</c><00:32:32.549><c> whole</c><00:32:32.869><c> life</c><00:32:33.170><c> of</c>

our<00:32:33.569><c> Lord</c>

00:32:37.809 --> 00:32:40.109
And<00:32:37.910><c> it</c><00:32:37.930><c> was</c><00:32:38.170><c> a</c><00:32:38.390><c> title</c><00:32:38.589><c> that</c><00:32:38.769><c> was</c><00:32:38.990><c> used</c><00:32:39.230><c> very</c><00:32:39.710><c> rarely.</c>

00:32:40.309 --> 00:32:42.269
Twice<00:32:40.690><c> we've</c><00:32:41.029><c> only</c><00:32:41.069><c> got</c><00:32:41.170><c> it</c><00:32:41.329><c> in</c><00:32:41.410><c> the</c><00:32:41.529><c> whole</c><00:32:41.769><c> of</c><00:32:41.930><c> the</c><00:32:41.990><c> Gospel</c>

00:32:44.130 --> 00:32:46.369
because<00:32:44.430><c> rabbi</c><00:32:45.250><c> is</c><00:32:45.509><c> teacher,</c><00:32:45.869><c> of</c><00:32:46.170><c> course.</c>

00:32:46.670 --> 00:32:49.589

00:32:57.369 --> 00:33:00.369
It's<00:32:57.369><c> only</c><00:32:57.690><c> used</c><00:32:57.990><c> by</c><00:32:58.250><c> people</c><00:32:58.569><c> who</c><00:32:59.089><c> really</c><00:32:59.589><c> felt</c><00:32:59.910><c> that</c><00:33:00.190><c> way.</c>

Gratitude<00:33:41.470><c> characterized</c><00:33:41.950><c> that</c><00:33:42.309><c> whole</c><00:33:42.569><c> woman's</c><00:33:43.029><c> life.</c>

00:33:44.769 --> 00:33:50.369
And<00:33:44.970><c> here's</c><00:33:45.170><c> a</c><00:33:45.390><c> man,</c><00:33:46.890><c> the</c><00:33:47.210><c> blind,</c><00:33:48.890><c> son</c><00:33:49.069><c> of</c><00:33:49.210><c> the</c><00:33:49.470><c> filthy,</c>

00:33:50.470 --> 00:33:52.690
outside<00:33:50.990><c> of</c><00:33:51.250><c> a</c><00:33:51.470><c> cursed</c><00:33:51.769><c> gentile</c><00:33:52.410><c> city.</c>

00:33:52.930 --> 00:33:55.390
And<00:33:52.930><c> he</c><00:33:53.170><c> believes</c><00:33:53.789><c> that</c><00:33:54.390><c> that</c><00:33:54.569><c> man</c><00:33:54.769><c> can</c><00:33:54.990><c> do</c><00:33:55.130><c> it.</c>

00:33:55.410 --> 00:33:58.609
So<00:33:55.609><c> much</c><00:33:55.869><c> so</c><00:33:56.269><c> that</c><00:33:56.670><c> he's</c><00:33:56.890><c> already</c><00:33:57.349><c> calling</c><00:33:57.670><c> a</c><00:33:57.809><c> rabbono</c><00:33:58.269><c> before</c>

00:33:58.609 --> 00:34:00.089
he's<00:33:58.869><c> got</c><00:33:58.970><c> his</c><00:33:59.309><c> sight.</c>

00:34:01.930 --> 00:34:03.490
That's<00:34:02.170><c> how</c><00:34:02.309><c> he</c><00:34:02.549><c> saw</c><00:34:02.730><c> it.</c>

00:34:05.210 --> 00:34:09.809
But<00:34:05.450><c> I</c><00:34:05.569><c> might</c><00:34:05.950><c> recover</c><00:34:06.609><c> my</c><00:34:07.309><c> sight,</c><00:34:08.590><c> says</c><00:34:08.730><c> the</c><00:34:09.010><c> Greek.</c>

00:34:10.349 --> 00:34:13.949
And<00:34:10.469><c> not</c><00:34:10.730><c> that</c><00:34:10.889><c> I</c><00:34:10.989><c> might</c><00:34:11.230><c> receive</c><00:34:11.550><c> it,</c><00:34:11.690><c> but</c><00:34:11.809><c> I</c><00:34:11.949><c> might</c><00:34:12.449><c> recover</c><00:34:13.190><c> it.</c>

00:34:14.829 --> 00:34:16.769
That's<00:34:15.190><c> a</c><00:34:15.329><c> prophecy,</c><00:34:15.710><c> isn't</c><00:34:15.869><c> it?</c>

00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:20.449
The<00:34:17.090><c> recovering</c><00:34:17.630><c> of</c><00:34:18.010><c> sight</c><00:34:18.130><c> of</c><00:34:18.269><c> the</c><00:34:18.449><c> blind</c><00:34:18.670><c> is</c><00:34:18.929><c> Isaiah</c><00:34:19.309><c> 61,</c>

00:34:21.550 --> 00:34:23.550
which<00:34:21.610><c> again</c><00:34:22.110><c> speaks</c><00:34:22.429><c> of</c><00:34:22.590><c> the</c><00:34:22.710><c> work</c><00:34:22.869><c> of</c><00:34:23.010><c> the</c><00:34:23.090><c> Messiah,</c>

00:34:23.889 --> 00:34:25.289
the<00:34:24.030><c> opening</c><00:34:24.289><c> new</c><00:34:24.590><c> eyes</c><00:34:24.750><c> of</c><00:34:24.889><c> the</c><00:34:25.090><c> blind,</c>

00:34:25.409 --> 00:34:27.849
evading<00:34:25.690><c> prisoners</c><00:34:26.090><c> out</c><00:34:26.289><c> of</c><00:34:26.389><c> the</c><00:34:26.570><c> prison</c><00:34:26.849><c> house,</c>

00:34:28.349 --> 00:34:31.190
or<00:34:28.630><c> planting</c><00:34:28.909><c> the</c><00:34:29.210><c> trees</c><00:34:29.429><c> of</c><00:34:29.710><c> righteousness</c><00:34:30.130><c> along</c><00:34:30.489><c> the</c><00:34:30.789><c> highway</c>

00:34:31.190 --> 00:34:32.869
that<00:34:31.510><c> leads</c><00:34:31.690><c> to</c><00:34:31.869><c> the</c><00:34:31.969><c> kingdom</c><00:34:32.289><c> of</c><00:34:32.449><c> God.</c>

00:34:33.170 --> 00:34:34.570
There's<00:34:33.409><c> another</c><00:34:33.730><c> prophecy</c><00:34:34.190><c> here.</c>

00:34:35.010 --> 00:34:36.809
And<00:34:35.050><c> the</c><00:34:35.230><c> blind</c><00:34:35.429><c> man</c><00:34:35.789><c> uses</c><00:34:36.110><c> that</c><00:34:36.369><c> expression,</c>

00:34:36.949 --> 00:34:39.630
to<00:34:37.250><c> recover</c><00:34:38.130><c> my</c><00:34:38.650><c> sight.</c>

00:34:41.590 --> 00:34:44.070
And<00:34:41.750><c> Jesus</c><00:34:42.250><c> said</c><00:34:42.750><c> unto</c><00:34:42.989><c> him,</c>

00:34:45.349 --> 00:34:47.150
go<00:34:45.869><c> your</c><00:34:46.389><c> way.</c>

00:34:48.769 --> 00:34:49.869
Go<00:34:48.769><c> thy</c><00:34:49.110><c> way.</c>

00:34:50.670 --> 00:34:52.389
Thy<00:34:50.869><c> faith</c><00:34:51.369><c> hath</c><00:34:51.650><c> made</c><00:34:51.909><c> thee</c><00:34:52.170><c> whole.</c>

00:34:52.409 --> 00:34:53.349
So<00:34:52.530><c> he</c><00:34:52.630><c> did</c><00:34:52.789><c> have</c><00:34:52.949><c> the</c><00:34:53.170><c> faith.</c>

00:34:53.389 --> 00:34:55.829
He<00:34:53.489><c> did</c><00:34:53.710><c> believe</c><00:34:54.070><c> it.</c>

00:34:56.570 --> 00:34:58.809
But<00:34:56.690><c> you</c><00:34:56.869><c> see,</c><00:34:57.130><c> he</c><00:34:57.130><c> didn't</c><00:34:57.389><c> do</c><00:34:57.630><c> what</c><00:34:57.789><c> the</c><00:34:57.949><c> Lord</c><00:34:58.090><c> said,</c><00:34:58.409><c> did</c><00:34:58.550><c> he?</c>

00:34:58.909 --> 00:35:00.829
But<00:34:59.090><c> did</c><00:34:59.210><c> he?</c>

00:35:00.849 --> 00:35:02.989
Go<00:35:01.369><c> thy</c><00:35:02.010><c> way.</c>

00:35:04.150 --> 00:35:07.050
And<00:35:04.670><c> immediately</c><00:35:05.190><c> he</c><00:35:06.110><c> received</c><00:35:06.530><c> his</c><00:35:06.889><c> sight</c>

00:35:07.050 --> 00:35:10.030
and<00:35:07.329><c> followed</c><00:35:07.789><c> Jesus</c><00:35:08.389><c> in</c><00:35:08.909><c> the</c><00:35:09.170><c> way.</c>

00:35:10.889 --> 00:35:12.389
But<00:35:11.050><c> Jesus</c><00:35:11.309><c> didn't</c><00:35:11.530><c> say</c><00:35:11.809><c> that,</c><00:35:12.010><c> did</c><00:35:12.190><c> he?</c>

00:35:12.389 --> 00:35:13.690
He<00:35:12.570><c> didn't</c><00:35:12.730><c> say,</c><00:35:13.130><c> follow</c><00:35:13.230><c> me.</c>

00:35:13.849 --> 00:35:15.090
He<00:35:13.869><c> said,</c><00:35:14.170><c> you</c><00:35:14.289><c> go</c><00:35:14.590><c> your</c><00:35:14.889><c> way.</c>

00:35:15.090 --> 00:35:16.650
Well,<00:35:15.289><c> where</c><00:35:15.409><c> was</c><00:35:15.650><c> that?</c>

00:35:17.550 --> 00:35:19.710
Well,<00:35:17.750><c> it</c><00:35:17.750><c> was</c><00:35:17.929><c> anywhere</c><00:35:18.269><c> that</c><00:35:18.469><c> he</c><00:35:18.550><c> wanted</c><00:35:18.829><c> to</c><00:35:19.090><c> choose</c><00:35:19.309><c> to</c><00:35:19.530><c> go,</c>

00:35:19.769 --> 00:35:21.010
wasn't<00:35:19.989><c> it?</c>

00:35:21.650 --> 00:35:22.449
Where<00:35:21.949><c> would</c><00:35:22.150><c> he</c><00:35:22.289><c> go?</c>

00:35:22.530 --> 00:35:25.389
I<00:35:22.530><c> mean,</c><00:35:22.889><c> he</c><00:35:23.110><c> would</c><00:35:23.349><c> probably</c><00:35:23.769><c> be</c><00:35:24.570><c> some</c><00:35:24.989><c> friend</c>

00:35:25.389 --> 00:35:26.989
or<00:35:25.769><c> maybe</c><00:35:26.269><c> he</c><00:35:26.309><c> slept</c><00:35:26.550><c> outdoors.</c>

00:35:27.070 --> 00:35:29.349
Who<00:35:27.230><c> knows</c><00:35:27.489><c> where</c><00:35:27.809><c> his</c><00:35:28.070><c> way</c><00:35:28.289><c> was?</c>

00:35:29.590 --> 00:35:31.150
But<00:35:29.769><c> now</c><00:35:29.929><c> he's</c><00:35:30.170><c> free</c><00:35:30.329><c> to</c><00:35:30.429><c> go</c><00:35:30.590><c> where</c><00:35:30.789><c> he</c><00:35:30.969><c> likes.</c>

00:35:31.190 --> 00:35:32.110
You<00:35:31.389><c> go</c><00:35:31.650><c> your</c><00:35:31.869><c> way.</c>

00:35:32.210 --> 00:35:33.929
And<00:35:32.309><c> he</c><00:35:32.389><c> followed</c><00:35:32.670><c> that</c><00:35:32.969><c> way.</c>

00:35:35.510 --> 00:35:36.849
Just<00:35:35.670><c> imagine,</c><00:35:36.289><c> brothers</c><00:35:36.389><c> and</c><00:35:36.630><c> sisters,</c>

00:35:36.889 --> 00:35:40.349
how<00:35:37.550><c> wonderful</c><00:35:37.909><c> that</c><00:35:38.150><c> was</c><00:35:38.409><c> for</c><00:35:38.530><c> him</c><00:35:38.690><c> to</c><00:35:38.929><c> follow</c><00:35:39.090><c> that</c><00:35:39.349><c> way.</c>

00:35:41.210 --> 00:35:43.530
And<00:35:41.650><c> it</c><00:35:41.809><c> was</c><00:35:42.030><c> monumental</c><00:35:42.530><c> what</c><00:35:42.710><c> happened</c><00:35:43.070><c> here.</c>

00:35:43.809 --> 00:35:45.469
Really<00:35:44.250><c> monumental.</c>

00:35:46.590 --> 00:35:49.170
He<00:35:46.750><c> followed</c><00:35:46.909><c> him</c><00:35:47.090><c> in</c><00:35:47.150><c> the</c><00:35:47.289><c> way</c><00:35:47.469><c> of</c><00:35:47.670><c> the</c><00:35:47.789><c> cross,</c><00:35:48.289><c> didn't</c><00:35:48.289><c> he?</c>

00:35:49.710 --> 00:35:52.130
Now,<00:35:49.949><c> I</c><00:35:50.170><c> told</c><00:35:50.409><c> you,</c><00:35:50.630><c> this</c><00:35:50.789><c> all</c><00:35:51.090><c> began</c>

00:35:52.170 --> 00:35:55.010
a<00:35:52.489><c> whole</c><00:35:52.869><c> series</c><00:35:53.190><c> of</c><00:35:53.409><c> events</c><00:35:53.630><c> that</c><00:35:53.809><c> are</c><00:35:54.090><c> absolutely</c><00:35:54.489><c> staggering</c>

00:35:55.010 --> 00:35:56.550
when<00:35:55.170><c> you</c><00:35:55.289><c> put</c><00:35:55.429><c> them</c><00:35:55.610><c> together.</c>

00:35:56.690 --> 00:35:59.250
So<00:35:56.809><c> what</c><00:35:56.949><c> I</c><00:35:57.030><c> want</c><00:35:57.130><c> to</c><00:35:57.210><c> do</c><00:35:57.349><c> now</c><00:35:57.690><c> for</c><00:35:58.469><c> the</c><00:35:58.489><c> next</c><00:35:58.769><c> few</c><00:35:58.929><c> minutes,</c>

00:35:59.250 --> 00:36:00.210
and<00:35:59.469><c> we</c><00:35:59.570><c> will</c><00:35:59.769><c> finish</c><00:36:00.010><c> early,</c>

00:36:00.309 --> 00:36:02.690
so<00:36:00.389><c> you</c><00:36:00.449><c> have</c><00:36:00.570><c> time</c><00:36:00.849><c> for</c><00:36:00.969><c> your</c><00:36:01.150><c> questions</c><00:36:01.389><c> and</c><00:36:01.690><c> comments.</c>

00:36:03.210 --> 00:36:04.789
I<00:36:03.369><c> want</c><00:36:03.610><c> to</c><00:36:03.650><c> show</c><00:36:03.889><c> you,</c><00:36:04.210><c> brothers</c><00:36:04.309><c> and</c><00:36:04.570><c> sisters,</c>

00:36:04.849 --> 00:36:06.050
what's<00:36:05.150><c> going</c><00:36:05.269><c> to</c><00:36:05.389><c> happen</c><00:36:05.590><c> now</c>

00:36:06.050 --> 00:36:07.989
as<00:36:06.369><c> we</c><00:36:06.550><c> go</c><00:36:06.750><c> on</c><00:36:06.889><c> in</c><00:36:06.989><c> our</c><00:36:07.210><c> class,</c><00:36:07.469><c> God</c><00:36:07.730><c> willing,</c>

00:36:07.989 --> 00:36:11.150

00:39:37.789 --> 00:39:39.349
Chariot<00:39:38.250><c> from</c><00:39:38.449><c> Ephraim,</c>

00:39:39.610 --> 00:39:40.530
horse<00:39:39.929><c> from</c><00:39:40.150><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:39:40.610 --> 00:39:42.050
You<00:39:40.750><c> see,</c><00:39:41.909><c> why?</c>

00:39:42.050 --> 00:39:44.369
Why<00:39:42.130><c> you</c><00:39:42.429><c> divide</c><00:39:42.650><c> the</c><00:39:42.889><c> chariot</c><00:39:43.090><c> from</c><00:39:43.269><c> the</c><00:39:43.469><c> horse?</c>

00:39:44.750 --> 00:39:46.449
The<00:39:44.969><c> chariot's</c><00:39:45.349><c> in</c><00:39:45.429><c> Ephraim</c><00:39:45.889><c> North,</c>

00:39:46.590 --> 00:39:47.670
horse<00:39:46.869><c> is</c><00:39:47.050><c> in</c><00:39:47.190><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:39:48.110 --> 00:39:48.570
Why?

00:39:48.869 --> 00:39:49.610
Because<00:39:49.190><c> you</c><00:39:49.409><c> see,</c>

00:39:49.829 --> 00:39:51.929
you<00:39:49.869><c> never</c><00:39:50.170><c> ever</c><00:39:50.570><c> read</c><00:39:50.750><c> about</c><00:39:51.070><c> chariot</c><00:39:51.489><c> warfare</c>

00:39:51.929 --> 00:39:53.510
in<00:39:52.190><c> and</c><00:39:52.329><c> around</c><00:39:52.510><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:39:53.610 --> 00:39:54.769
It's<00:39:53.809><c> impossible.</c>

00:39:54.909 --> 00:39:56.530
Because<00:39:55.130><c> of</c><00:39:55.309><c> the</c><00:39:55.510><c> confines</c><00:39:55.889><c> of</c><00:39:56.070><c> the</c><00:39:56.230><c> hills</c>

00:39:56.530 --> 00:39:57.690
are<00:39:56.829><c> so</c><00:39:57.030><c> close</c><00:39:57.289><c> together,</c>

00:39:58.030 --> 00:39:58.809
the<00:39:58.210><c> torturous</c><00:39:58.590><c> valley</c>

00:39:58.809 --> 00:40:00.090
wouldn't<00:39:59.050><c> allow</c><00:39:59.349><c> that</c><00:39:59.530><c> sort</c><00:39:59.710><c> of</c><00:39:59.869><c> fighting.</c>

00:40:00.090 --> 00:40:02.650
But<00:40:00.510><c> you</c><00:40:00.710><c> will</c><00:40:00.969><c> always</c><00:40:01.369><c> find</c><00:40:01.630><c> all</c><00:40:02.070><c> the</c><00:40:02.250><c> reference.</c>

00:40:02.849 --> 00:40:05.590
The<00:40:03.030><c> chariot</c><00:40:03.329><c> warfare</c><00:40:03.889><c> is</c><00:40:04.309><c> either</c><00:40:04.650><c> in</c><00:40:05.070><c> Samaria</c>

00:40:05.590 --> 00:40:07.269
or<00:40:05.909><c> North</c><00:40:06.230><c> on</c><00:40:06.530><c> the</c><00:40:06.829><c> Jezreel</c>

00:40:07.269 --> 00:40:09.070
or<00:40:07.469><c> right</c><00:40:07.610><c> up</c><00:40:07.750><c> in</c><00:40:07.969><c> Hatsor.</c>

00:40:09.869 --> 00:40:11.489
So<00:40:10.050><c> it's</c><00:40:10.269><c> the</c><00:40:10.429><c> chariot</c><00:40:10.690><c> from</c><00:40:10.889><c> Ephraim</c>

00:40:11.489 --> 00:40:12.690
and<00:40:11.630><c> the</c><00:40:11.809><c> horse</c><00:40:11.989><c> from</c><00:40:12.190><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:40:12.849 --> 00:40:14.690
So<00:40:13.070><c> accurate,</c><00:40:13.409><c> isn't</c><00:40:13.630><c> it?</c>

00:40:14.989 --> 00:40:16.309
And<00:40:15.150><c> then</c><00:40:15.250><c> it</c><00:40:15.329><c> says,</c>

00:40:16.409 --> 00:40:17.730
and<00:40:16.409><c> the</c><00:40:16.610><c> battle</c><00:40:16.869><c> bow</c><00:40:17.070><c> shall</c><00:40:17.250><c> be</c><00:40:17.469><c> cut</c><00:40:17.630><c> off.</c>

00:40:17.809 --> 00:40:20.309
Here's<00:40:18.010><c> a</c><00:40:18.070><c> man</c><00:40:18.230><c> that's</c><00:40:18.369><c> going</c><00:40:18.469><c> to</c><00:40:18.610><c> bring</c><00:40:18.730><c> an</c><00:40:18.909><c> end</c><00:40:19.170><c> to</c><00:40:19.409><c> war,</c>

00:40:20.329 --> 00:40:22.889
end<00:40:20.570><c> of</c><00:40:20.809><c> bloodshed,</c><00:40:21.449><c> end</c><00:40:21.750><c> of</c><00:40:22.010><c> suffering.</c>

00:40:23.750 --> 00:40:25.030
And<00:40:24.070><c> what's</c><00:40:24.329><c> he</c><00:40:24.329><c> going</c><00:40:24.429><c> to</c><00:40:24.610><c> do?</c>

00:40:25.269 --> 00:40:26.230
Why?

00:40:26.769 --> 00:40:32.190
He<00:40:27.449><c> shall</c><00:40:28.130><c> speak</c><00:40:28.809><c> peace</c><00:40:29.750><c> unto</c><00:40:30.849><c> the</c><00:40:31.849><c> heathen.</c>

00:40:32.469 --> 00:40:35.349
And<00:40:32.530><c> there</c><00:40:33.130><c> is</c><00:40:33.650><c> the</c><00:40:33.929><c> great</c><00:40:34.269><c> clue</c>

00:40:35.570 --> 00:40:36.869
that<00:40:35.929><c> we're</c><00:40:36.130><c> going</c><00:40:36.250><c> to</c><00:40:36.530><c> see</c>

00:40:36.869 --> 00:40:40.110
worked<00:40:37.269><c> out</c><00:40:37.690><c> in</c><00:40:37.849><c> these</c><00:40:38.590><c> gospel</c><00:40:38.949><c> records.</c>

00:40:40.510 --> 00:40:41.789
Purposes<00:40:40.929><c> the</c><00:40:41.130><c> Lord</c><00:40:41.369><c> had</c>

00:40:41.789 --> 00:40:43.289

00:40:43.289 --> 00:40:46.250
a<00:40:43.610><c> cult</c><00:40:43.769><c> that</c><00:40:43.909><c> had</c><00:40:44.230><c> never</c><00:40:44.730><c> ever</c><00:40:45.010><c> been</c><00:40:45.349><c> written</c>

00:40:46.289 --> 00:40:51.489
was<00:40:46.789><c> to</c><00:40:47.269><c> speak</c><00:40:47.849><c> peace</c><00:40:48.929><c> to</c><00:40:50.070><c> the</c><00:40:50.369><c> heathen.</c>

00:40:52.329 --> 00:40:53.710
Now<00:40:52.489><c> I</c><00:40:52.630><c> have</c><00:40:52.710><c> to</c><00:40:52.849><c> show</c><00:40:53.030><c> you</c><00:40:53.210><c> first</c><00:40:53.449><c> of</c><00:40:53.590><c> all</c>

00:40:55.730 --> 00:40:58.389
Where<00:40:56.130><c> the</c><00:40:56.710><c> title</c><00:40:57.070><c> of</c><00:40:57.389><c> peace</c>

00:40:58.599 --> 00:41:01.670

00:41:04.969 --> 00:41:08.170
It's<00:41:05.150><c> used</c><00:41:05.809><c> very</c><00:41:06.349><c> wonderfully</c><00:41:06.710><c> like</c><00:41:07.090><c> that.</c>

00:41:08.389 --> 00:41:10.789
These<00:41:08.630><c> three</c><00:41:08.929><c> references</c><00:41:09.349><c> will,</c><00:41:10.110><c> I</c><00:41:10.309><c> believe,</c>

it<00:50:30.670><c> says,</c>
