You<00:06:55.120><c> know,</c><00:06:55.379><c> just</c><00:06:55.560><c> like</c><00:06:55.779><c> with</c><00:06:55.980><c> the</c><00:06:56.319><c> oaks</c><00:06:56.620><c> of</c><00:06:56.860><c> Bethel</c><00:06:57.160><c> and</c><00:06:57.259><c> the</c>

00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:00.879
significant<00:06:59.379><c> because</c><00:06:59.740><c> they</c><00:06:59.939><c> were</c><00:07:00.180><c> solitary</c><00:07:00.560><c> trees.</c>

00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.579
That's<00:07:06.379><c> why</c><00:07:06.540><c> they</c><00:07:06.779><c> were</c><00:07:07.120><c> obviously</c><00:07:07.639><c> markers</c><00:07:08.000><c> for</c><00:07:08.300><c> meeting</c>

00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:34.259
And<00:10:31.379><c> we</c><00:10:31.480><c> know</c><00:10:31.639><c> later</c><00:10:31.840><c> on</c><00:10:32.000><c> that</c><00:10:32.139><c> his</c><00:10:32.320><c> sister</c><00:10:32.539><c> came</c><00:10:32.799><c> into</c><00:10:32.960><c> the</c><00:10:33.240><c> truth.</c>

00:18:59.579 --> 00:19:03.299

00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:19.480
Well,<00:19:17.880><c> I've</c><00:19:18.140><c> got</c><00:19:18.220><c> to</c><00:19:18.339><c> go</c><00:19:18.440><c> to</c><00:19:18.619><c> Egypt.</c>

00:19:19.900 --> 00:19:22.180
Because<00:19:20.059><c> God</c><00:19:20.339><c> says</c><00:19:20.599><c> to</c><00:19:20.759><c> him,</c><00:19:20.920><c> he's</c><00:19:21.039><c> only</c><00:19:21.240><c> gone</c><00:19:21.400><c> as</c><00:19:21.660><c> far</c><00:19:21.799><c> as</c><00:19:22.019><c> Gira.</c>

00:19:22.259 --> 00:19:25.990

00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:36.460
It<00:19:34.519><c> was</c><00:19:34.660><c> very</c><00:19:34.960><c> tempting,</c><00:19:35.380><c> wasn't</c><00:19:35.480><c> it,</c><00:19:35.579><c> when</c><00:19:35.720><c> the</c><00:19:35.940><c> pressure's</c><00:19:36.359><c> on</c>

00:19:36.460 --> 00:19:39.059
and<00:19:36.559><c> life's</c><00:19:36.980><c> hard</c><00:19:37.420><c> to</c><00:19:37.680><c> think</c><00:19:37.880><c> that</c><00:19:38.019><c> we've</c><00:19:38.279><c> got</c><00:19:38.440><c> to</c><00:19:38.599><c> go</c><00:19:38.740><c> the</c><00:19:38.900><c> way</c>

00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.700

00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:51.839

00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:56.519
So<00:19:54.819><c> he</c><00:19:54.920><c> thought</c><00:19:55.079><c> of</c><00:19:55.359><c> compromises</c><00:19:55.859><c> in</c><00:19:56.039><c> verse</c><00:19:56.279><c> 6.</c>

00:23:16.339 --> 00:23:18.299
even<00:23:16.500><c> if</c><00:23:16.599><c> we</c><00:23:16.759><c> grew</c><00:23:16.880><c> up</c><00:23:17.039><c> in</c><00:23:17.180><c> the</c><00:23:17.359><c> truth.</c>

00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:22.500
Because<00:23:19.059><c> our</c><00:23:19.259><c> children</c><00:23:19.460><c> will</c><00:23:19.700><c> think,</c><00:23:19.920><c> oh</c><00:23:20.160><c> well,</c><00:23:20.619><c> they</c><00:23:20.819><c> did</c><00:23:21.000><c> it.</c>

00:23:22.779 --> 00:23:25.059
Instinctively<00:23:23.220><c> they</c><00:23:23.420><c> will</c><00:23:24.039><c> take</c><00:23:24.480><c> that</c><00:23:24.880><c> point</c>

00:23:25.059 --> 00:23:26.839

00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:32.819
And<00:23:30.119><c> for</c><00:23:30.279><c> some</c><00:23:30.539><c> reason</c><00:23:30.880><c> Isaac</c><00:23:31.400><c> resorted</c><00:23:31.779><c> to</c><00:23:32.039><c> exactly</c><00:23:32.539><c> the</c>

00:23:32.819 --> 00:23:34.000
same<00:23:33.079><c> strategy.</c>

00:23:34.140 --> 00:23:35.480
And<00:23:34.220><c> he</c><00:23:34.299><c> had</c><00:23:34.420><c> good</c><00:23:34.680><c> reason</c><00:23:34.880><c> to</c><00:23:35.019><c> be</c><00:23:35.240><c> afraid.</c>

00:23:35.579 --> 00:23:38.400
It<00:23:35.759><c> says</c><00:23:35.940><c> that</c><00:23:36.079><c> he</c><00:23:36.180><c> was</c><00:23:36.500><c> afraid</c><00:23:36.740><c> in</c><00:23:36.960><c> verse</c><00:23:37.200><c> 7.</c>

00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:42.180
He<00:23:38.759><c> feared</c><00:23:39.299><c> to</c><00:23:40.579><c> say,</c><00:23:40.859><c> she</c><00:23:40.880><c> is</c><00:23:41.039><c> my</c><00:23:41.279><c> wife.</c>

00:23:42.900 --> 00:23:44.559
I<00:23:43.099><c> always</c><00:23:43.220><c> wonder</c><00:23:43.420><c> how</c><00:23:43.599><c> these</c><00:23:43.740><c> women</c><00:23:43.940><c> must</c><00:23:44.200><c> have</c><00:23:44.380><c> felt</c>

00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:46.500
when<00:23:44.900><c> their</c><00:23:45.039><c> husband</c><00:23:45.339><c> was</c><00:23:45.619><c> afraid</c><00:23:45.960><c> to</c><00:23:46.059><c> tell</c><00:23:46.200><c> anybody</c>

00:23:46.500 --> 00:23:48.119
that<00:23:46.640><c> that</c><00:23:46.779><c> was</c><00:23:46.900><c> their</c><00:23:47.119><c> wife.</c>

00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:51.220
Couldn't<00:23:48.519><c> have</c><00:23:48.680><c> done</c><00:23:48.859><c> very</c><00:23:49.140><c> much</c><00:23:49.299><c> for</c><00:23:49.559><c> relationships</c><00:23:50.019><c> on</c><00:23:50.240><c> the</c><00:23:50.500><c> home.</c>

00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:56.019
But<00:23:53.779><c> his</c><00:23:54.099><c> fear</c><00:23:54.279><c> was</c><00:23:54.500><c> very</c><00:23:54.680><c> much</c><00:23:54.940><c> justified.</c>

00:23:56.859 --> 00:23:58.619
The<00:23:57.019><c> Philistines</c><00:23:57.460><c> were</c><00:23:57.720><c> not</c><00:23:57.980><c> moral</c><00:23:58.299><c> people</c>

00:23:58.619 --> 00:24:01.059

00:24:01.579 --> 00:24:02.619
They<00:24:01.779><c> were</c><00:24:02.019><c> violent</c><00:24:02.359><c> people.</c>

00:24:02.660 --> 00:24:04.700
They<00:24:02.819><c> kept</c><00:24:03.140><c> violently</c><00:24:03.680><c> stealing</c><00:24:04.180><c> the</c><00:24:04.460><c> wells</c>

00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:06.460

00:24:06.779 --> 00:24:09.660
They<00:24:07.019><c> were</c><00:24:07.380><c> hypocritical</c><00:24:08.079><c> liars</c><00:24:08.480><c> as</c><00:24:08.619><c> verse</c><00:24:08.839><c> 29</c><00:24:09.400><c> says.</c>

00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:12.660

00:24:12.660 --> 00:24:13.440
but<00:24:13.059><c> good.</c>

00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:16.720
You<00:24:14.000><c> know,</c><00:24:14.740><c> they'd</c><00:24:14.900><c> belted</c><00:24:15.119><c> up</c><00:24:15.259><c> his</c><00:24:15.480><c> servants</c><00:24:15.799><c> time</c><00:24:16.140><c> after</c><00:24:16.539><c> time</c>

00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:19.980
to<00:24:16.900><c> take</c><00:24:17.059><c> the</c><00:24:17.279><c> wells</c><00:24:17.440><c> off</c><00:24:17.660><c> him,</c><00:24:18.519><c> chased</c><00:24:18.700><c> him</c><00:24:18.960><c> away.</c>

00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:22.500
We've<00:24:21.500><c> sent</c><00:24:21.660><c> you</c><00:24:21.880><c> away</c><00:24:22.039><c> in</c><00:24:22.319><c> peace.</c>

00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:23.180
That<00:24:22.660><c> wasn't</c><00:24:22.940><c> true.</c>

00:24:23.539 --> 00:24:24.319
Isaac<00:24:23.539><c> sent</c><00:24:23.839><c> them</c><00:24:24.079><c> away.</c>

00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:26.460
Abraham<00:24:24.839><c> sent</c><00:24:25.180><c> them</c><00:24:25.420><c> away.</c>

00:24:26.619 --> 00:24:28.559
He<00:24:26.700><c> says,</c><00:24:26.839><c> we</c><00:24:26.920><c> don't</c><00:24:27.119><c> want</c><00:24:27.259><c> you</c><00:24:27.380><c> near</c><00:24:27.579><c> us.</c>

00:24:28.859 --> 00:24:31.819
They<00:24:29.039><c> would</c><00:24:29.220><c> have</c><00:24:29.480><c> loved</c><00:24:29.660><c> to</c><00:24:29.900><c> marry</c><00:24:30.099><c> into</c><00:24:30.259><c> the</c><00:24:30.460><c> family</c><00:24:30.680><c> of</c><00:24:30.920><c> Abraham.</c>

00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:34.559
They<00:24:32.859><c> were</c><00:24:33.079><c> in</c><00:24:33.220><c> veteran</c><00:24:33.480><c> alliance.</c>

00:24:35.500 --> 00:24:37.980
And<00:24:35.720><c> they</c><00:24:35.900><c> actually</c><00:24:36.180><c> admitted</c><00:24:36.440><c> in</c><00:24:36.680><c> verse</c><00:24:36.960><c> 10</c><00:24:37.200><c> that</c><00:24:37.359><c> very</c><00:24:37.680><c> likely</c>

00:24:37.980 --> 00:24:39.660
in<00:24:38.119><c> the</c><00:24:38.220><c> land</c><00:24:38.319><c> of</c><00:24:38.480><c> the</c><00:24:38.640><c> Philistines,</c>

00:24:40.059 --> 00:24:42.119
somebody<00:24:40.359><c> might</c><00:24:40.599><c> grab</c><00:24:40.799><c> your</c><00:24:41.000><c> wife</c><00:24:41.160><c> anyway.</c>

00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:45.359
He<00:24:43.079><c> had</c><00:24:43.240><c> very</c><00:24:43.519><c> good</c><00:24:43.720><c> reason</c><00:24:43.980><c> to</c><00:24:44.099><c> be</c><00:24:44.299><c> afraid</c><00:24:44.480><c> of</c><00:24:44.619><c> the</c><00:24:44.779><c> Philistines</c>

00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:46.700
but<00:24:45.640><c> he</c><00:24:45.740><c> should</c><00:24:45.900><c> never</c><00:24:46.079><c> have</c><00:24:46.259><c> been</c><00:24:46.460><c> there.</c>

00:24:46.819 --> 00:24:48.680
That's<00:24:47.099><c> the</c><00:24:47.279><c> point.</c>

00:24:48.980 --> 00:24:51.299
It<00:24:48.980><c> says</c><00:24:49.440><c> in</c><00:24:49.619><c> Proverbs</c><00:24:49.839><c> 29</c><00:24:50.380><c> and</c><00:24:50.559><c> verse</c><00:24:50.740><c> 25,</c>

the<00:24:51.579><c> fear</c><00:24:51.859><c> of</c><00:24:52.099><c> man</c><00:24:52.359><c> bringeth</c><00:24:52.720><c> a</c><00:24:53.119><c> sneer.</c>

00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:57.539

00:24:57.559 --> 00:24:59.740
And<00:24:57.720><c> that's</c><00:24:57.940><c> the</c><00:24:58.140><c> principle</c><00:24:58.400><c> Isaac</c><00:24:58.859><c> should</c><00:24:59.140><c> have</c><00:24:59.400><c> done.</c>

00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.119
Gone<00:25:00.339><c> out</c><00:25:00.599><c> there</c><00:25:00.720><c> in</c><00:25:00.819><c> the</c><00:25:00.960><c> wilderness</c><00:25:01.299><c> and</c><00:25:01.940><c> put</c><00:25:02.119><c> his</c><00:25:02.359><c> trust</c><00:25:02.619><c> in</c><00:25:02.880><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:25:03.140 --> 00:25:04.420
And<00:25:03.240><c> he</c><00:25:03.299><c> wouldn't</c><00:25:03.480><c> have</c><00:25:03.660><c> had</c><00:25:03.819><c> this</c><00:25:04.000><c> sort</c><00:25:04.099><c> of</c><00:25:04.279><c> problem.</c>

00:25:04.460 --> 00:25:06.859
He<00:25:04.539><c> was</c><00:25:04.819><c> in</c><00:25:05.099><c> Gera</c><00:25:05.400><c> and</c><00:25:05.559><c> he</c><00:25:05.720><c> should</c><00:25:05.940><c> not</c><00:25:06.140><c> have</c><00:25:06.319><c> been</c><00:25:06.519><c> there.</c>

00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:09.259

We<00:25:20.700><c> live</c><00:25:20.819><c> in</c><00:25:20.960><c> a</c><00:25:21.140><c> relatively</c><00:25:21.599><c> ordered</c><00:25:21.960><c> society</c>

00:25:37.220 --> 00:25:38.740
We<00:25:37.539><c> go</c><00:25:37.640><c> about</c><00:25:37.900><c> telling</c><00:25:38.220><c> half</c><00:25:38.599><c>-truths</c>

00:25:44.619 --> 00:25:46.059
A<00:25:44.740><c> bit</c><00:25:44.880><c> of</c><00:25:45.079><c> shame.</c>

00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:50.720
When<00:25:49.779><c> we</c><00:25:49.920><c> get</c><00:25:50.019><c> to</c><00:25:50.119><c> the</c><00:25:50.319><c> judgment</c><00:25:50.599><c> seat</c>

00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:56.420
He<00:25:55.099><c> might</c><00:25:55.359><c> say,</c>

00:25:57.180 --> 00:25:59.259
but<00:25:57.240><c> you</c><00:25:57.440><c> denied</c><00:25:57.700><c> you</c><00:25:57.920><c> ever</c><00:25:58.099><c> knew</c><00:25:58.220><c> me.</c>

00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:03.400
Your<00:26:01.099><c> whole</c><00:26:01.480><c> attitude</c><00:26:02.000><c> before</c><00:26:02.319><c> the</c><00:26:02.480><c> world</c><00:26:02.759><c> was</c>

00:26:06.779 --> 00:26:11.079

00:26:13.220 --> 00:26:15.380
He<00:26:13.380><c> was</c><00:26:13.660><c> in</c><00:26:13.839><c> fear</c><00:26:14.000><c> of</c><00:26:14.160><c> his</c><00:26:14.339><c> life.</c>

We're<00:26:17.200><c> not</c><00:26:17.279><c> really</c><00:26:17.480><c> under</c><00:26:17.660><c> that</c><00:26:17.839><c> much</c><00:26:18.039><c> pressure</c>

00:26:28.819 --> 00:26:30.259

00:26:30.299 --> 00:26:31.299
You<00:26:30.359><c> know,</c><00:26:30.539><c> just</c><00:26:30.799><c> providentially</c>

00:26:31.299 --> 00:26:33.400

00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:40.420
so<00:26:36.519><c> obviously</c><00:26:38.140><c> behaving</c><00:26:39.059><c> as</c><00:26:39.299><c> a</c><00:26:39.420><c> man</c><00:26:39.559><c> and</c><00:26:39.900><c> a</c><00:26:40.000><c> wife</c><00:26:40.240><c> would</c>
