00:08:01.259 --> 00:08:04.040
No<00:08:01.480><c> doubt</c><00:08:01.740><c> whatsoever</c><00:08:02.300><c> that</c><00:08:02.759><c> they</c><00:08:02.939><c> were</c><00:08:03.120><c> built</c><00:08:03.259><c> at</c><00:08:03.480><c> the</c><00:08:03.759><c> same</c>

00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:11.139
it<00:08:07.120><c> was</c><00:08:07.500><c> brilliantly</c><00:08:08.120><c> executed</c><00:08:08.819><c> and</c><00:08:09.180><c> it</c><00:08:09.399><c> comes</c><00:08:09.579><c> from</c><00:08:09.779><c> the</c><00:08:09.939><c> time</c><00:08:10.079><c> of</c><00:08:10.339><c> Solomon.</c>

00:08:11.699 --> 00:08:16.699
So<00:08:11.860><c> we</c><00:08:12.019><c> have</c><00:08:12.379><c> an</c><00:08:12.879><c> archaeological</c><00:08:13.519><c> evidence</c><00:08:14.100><c> here</c><00:08:14.480><c> that</c><00:08:14.899><c> supports</c><00:08:15.379><c> in</c><00:08:15.560><c> fact</c><00:08:15.720><c> what</c><00:08:15.939><c> the</c><00:08:16.100><c> first</c><00:08:16.300><c> of</c><00:08:16.500><c> Kings</c>

00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:23.120
Now<00:08:18.399><c> the</c><00:08:18.560><c> remarkable</c><00:08:18.980><c> thing</c><00:08:19.259><c> about</c><00:08:19.500><c> those</c><00:08:19.779><c> buildings</c><00:08:20.139><c> was</c><00:08:20.620><c> that</c><00:08:21.160><c> the</c><00:08:21.660><c> stonework</c><00:08:22.439><c> was</c><00:08:22.819><c> of</c>

00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:24.399
amazingly<00:08:23.899><c> good</c>

00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:24.839
quality.

00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.319
In<00:08:25.300><c> fact,</c><00:08:25.740><c> so</c><00:08:25.980><c> good</c><00:08:26.220><c> were</c><00:08:26.459><c> the</c><00:08:26.839><c> stones</c><00:08:27.220><c> in</c><00:08:27.600><c> these</c><00:08:27.860><c> buildings</c>

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.379
that<00:08:28.779><c> they</c><00:08:29.120><c> used</c><00:08:29.319><c> no</c><00:08:29.720><c> cement</c><00:08:30.100><c> or</c><00:08:30.459><c> plaster.</c>

00:08:31.629 --> 00:08:34.620
The<00:08:31.939><c> stones</c><00:08:32.340><c> were</c><00:08:32.620><c> so</c><00:08:32.960><c> carefully</c><00:08:33.559><c> crafted</c><00:08:34.019><c> that</c><00:08:34.240><c> they</c><00:08:34.399><c> were</c>

00:08:34.620 --> 00:08:37.379
simply<00:08:34.919><c> locked</c><00:08:35.320><c> together</c><00:08:35.799><c> as</c><00:08:36.259><c> stones</c>

00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.740
and<00:08:37.879><c> so</c><00:08:38.279><c> well</c><00:08:38.740><c>-crafted</c><00:08:39.220><c> were</c><00:08:39.480><c> they</c><00:08:39.700><c> that</c><00:08:39.899><c> eventually</c><00:08:40.580><c> the</c><00:08:41.200><c> walls</c><00:08:41.480><c> in</c>

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:48.600
good.

00:08:49.059 --> 00:08:51.000
Who<00:08:49.200><c> do</c><00:08:49.340><c> you</c><00:08:49.399><c> think</c><00:08:49.519><c> did</c><00:08:49.659><c> the</c><00:08:49.919><c> stonework?</c>

The<00:14:20.500><c> wisdom</c><00:14:20.960><c> that</c><00:14:21.259><c> God</c><00:14:21.500><c> had</c><00:14:21.799><c> given</c><00:14:21.980><c> him</c><00:14:22.480><c> displayed</c><00:14:23.000><c> itself</c><00:14:23.440><c> in</c>

00:14:35.379 --> 00:14:37.820
Now<00:14:35.720><c> one</c><00:14:36.019><c> of</c><00:14:36.139><c> the</c><00:14:36.220><c> reasons</c><00:14:36.519><c> why</c><00:14:36.799><c> we</c><00:14:36.860><c> know</c><00:14:37.120><c> that</c><00:14:37.259><c> the</c><00:14:37.379><c> first</c><00:14:37.600><c> of</c>

Kings<00:14:38.059><c> chapter</c><00:14:38.440><c> 10</c><00:14:39.059><c> is</c><00:14:39.620><c> set</c><00:14:40.039><c> against</c><00:14:40.419><c> that</c>

backdrop<00:14:41.120><c> is</c><00:14:41.980><c> that</c><00:14:42.879><c> the</c><00:14:43.220><c> record</c><00:14:43.559><c> tells</c><00:14:43.899><c> us</c><00:14:44.259><c> that</c><00:14:44.700><c> Queen</c><00:14:44.940><c> of</c><00:14:45.179><c> Sheba</c><00:14:45.360><c> saw</c><00:14:45.679><c> the</c><00:14:45.919><c> house</c><00:14:46.460><c> of</c>

00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:48.240
Solomon<00:14:47.559><c> and</c>

00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.600
also<00:14:48.840><c> the</c><00:14:49.080><c> house</c><00:14:49.440><c> of</c><00:14:49.940><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:14:51.059 --> 00:14:54.120
We're<00:14:51.299><c> told</c><00:14:51.500><c> that</c><00:14:51.740><c> she</c><00:14:51.860><c> saw</c><00:14:52.100><c> the</c><00:14:52.320><c> King's</c><00:14:52.779><c> house</c><00:14:53.000><c> in</c><00:14:53.259><c> verse</c><00:14:53.559><c> 4</c>

00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:57.519

00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:02.500
So<00:14:58.139><c> obviously</c><00:14:58.679><c> both</c><00:14:59.320><c> those</c><00:14:59.720><c> buildings</c><00:15:00.120><c> were</c><00:15:00.580><c> completed</c><00:15:01.240><c> before</c><00:15:02.159><c> the</c>

Queen<00:15:02.679><c> of</c><00:15:03.059><c> Sheba</c><00:15:03.299><c> made</c><00:15:03.580><c> her</c><00:15:03.840><c> visit.</c>

00:15:04.710 --> 00:15:09.440
That<00:15:05.000><c> means</c><00:15:05.399><c> that</c><00:15:05.659><c> she</c><00:15:05.879><c> could</c><00:15:06.159><c> not</c><00:15:06.320><c> have</c><00:15:06.519><c> made</c><00:15:06.700><c> this</c><00:15:06.980><c> visit</c><00:15:07.179><c> before</c><00:15:07.600><c> the</c><00:15:07.860><c> 24th</c><00:15:08.940><c> year</c><00:15:09.220><c> of</c>

00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:14.059
And<00:15:10.980><c> so</c><00:15:11.100><c> what</c><00:15:11.259><c> we're</c><00:15:11.480><c> suggesting</c><00:15:11.980><c> is</c><00:15:12.460><c> that</c><00:15:12.840><c> it</c><00:15:12.899><c> is</c><00:15:13.139><c> most</c><00:15:13.480><c> likely</c><00:15:13.840><c> that</c>

00:15:14.059 --> 00:15:15.200

00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:21.740

00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:26.379
Because<00:16:23.980><c> you</c><00:16:24.320><c> see</c><00:16:24.419><c> we're</c><00:16:24.639><c> told</c><00:16:24.919><c> concerning</c><00:16:25.440><c> this</c><00:16:25.860><c> fleet</c><00:16:26.080><c> of</c>

00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:34.179
And<00:16:29.480><c> they</c><00:16:29.700><c> came</c><00:16:30.320><c> to</c><00:16:30.659><c> Ophir</c><00:16:31.279><c> and</c><00:16:32.360><c> fetched</c><00:16:33.120><c> from</c><00:16:33.240><c> thence</c><00:16:33.799><c> gold</c>

00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:41.500
And<00:16:36.899><c> when</c><00:16:37.340><c> the</c><00:16:37.720><c> Queen</c><00:16:38.059><c> of</c><00:16:38.379><c> Sheba</c><00:16:38.779><c> heard</c><00:16:39.460><c> of</c><00:16:40.120><c> the</c><00:16:40.279><c> fame</c><00:16:40.440><c> of</c><00:16:40.700><c> Solomon.</c>

00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.440
Now<00:16:42.039><c> you</c><00:16:42.179><c> see</c><00:16:42.320><c> the</c><00:16:42.559><c> careful</c><00:16:43.120><c> juxtaposition</c><00:16:44.080><c> of</c><00:16:44.820><c> these</c><00:16:45.240><c> two</c>

00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:46.100
chapters<00:16:45.759><c> here.</c>

00:16:46.299 --> 00:16:48.100
Where<00:16:46.519><c> was</c><00:16:46.820><c> Ophir</c><00:16:47.299><c> by</c><00:16:47.539><c> the</c><00:16:47.659><c> way?</c>

00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:50.039
What<00:16:48.720><c> was</c><00:16:48.919><c> Ophir?</c>

00:16:53.379 --> 00:16:57.259
You<00:16:53.899><c> don't</c><00:16:54.419><c> know</c><00:16:54.679><c> what</c><00:16:54.980><c> Ophir</c><00:16:55.580><c> was?</c>

00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:04.139
Sorry?

00:17:09.980 --> 00:17:12.339
No,<00:17:10.099><c> we</c><00:17:10.240><c> were</c><00:17:10.319><c> saying</c><00:17:10.559><c> where</c><00:17:10.819><c> was</c><00:17:11.079><c> Ophir</c><00:17:11.420><c> itself?</c>

00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:17.380
Well,<00:17:14.119><c> that's</c><00:17:14.640><c> true,</c><00:17:15.119><c> but</c><00:17:15.240><c> Ophir,</c><00:17:16.119><c> there's</c><00:17:16.460><c> a</c><00:17:16.519><c> number</c><00:17:16.680><c> of</c><00:17:16.940><c> differences</c><00:17:17.200><c> of</c>

00:17:17.380 --> 00:17:18.799
course<00:17:17.539><c> as</c><00:17:17.720><c> to</c><00:17:17.779><c> where</c><00:17:18.000><c> Ophir</c><00:17:18.400><c> was.</c>

00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.319
We<00:17:19.240><c> do</c><00:17:19.500><c> know</c><00:17:19.660><c> of</c><00:17:19.779><c> course</c><00:17:19.960><c> that</c><00:17:20.079><c> they</c><00:17:20.240><c> went</c><00:17:20.420><c> and</c><00:17:20.680><c> fetched</c><00:17:21.220><c> gold</c>

00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:21.839
from<00:17:21.559><c> it.</c>

00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.720
And<00:17:22.160><c> the</c><00:17:22.339><c> suggestion</c><00:17:22.779><c> is</c><00:17:23.039><c> that</c><00:17:23.220><c> ultimately</c><00:17:23.720><c> the</c><00:17:24.200><c> ships</c><00:17:24.500><c> that</c>

00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.359
went<00:17:24.900><c> to</c><00:17:25.119><c> Ophir</c><00:17:25.460><c> went</c><00:17:25.720><c> beyond</c><00:17:26.180><c> the</c><00:17:26.420><c> Arabian</c><00:17:26.900><c> Peninsula</c>

00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:31.180
And<00:17:27.940><c> probably</c><00:17:28.519><c> ultimately</c><00:17:29.380><c> to</c><00:17:29.700><c> India</c><00:17:30.039><c> itself.</c>

00:17:31.220 --> 00:17:32.259
Why<00:17:31.339><c> do</c><00:17:31.500><c> we</c><00:17:31.660><c> conclude</c><00:17:32.000><c> that?</c>

00:17:32.619 --> 00:17:37.839
Well,<00:17:32.740><c> if</c><00:17:32.940><c> we</c><00:17:33.059><c> come</c><00:17:33.240><c> over</c><00:17:33.480><c> the</c><00:17:33.720><c> page</c><00:17:34.200><c> to</c><00:17:34.920><c> verse</c><00:17:35.279><c> 22,</c><00:17:36.539><c> we're</c><00:17:36.799><c> told</c><00:17:37.059><c> that</c><00:17:37.400><c> the</c>

00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:39.720
navy<00:17:38.140><c> that</c><00:17:38.380><c> went</c><00:17:38.599><c> to</c><00:17:38.819><c> Ophir</c>

00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:42.799
Was<00:17:40.299><c> the</c><00:17:40.819><c> the</c><00:17:40.880><c> king</c><00:17:41.099><c> had</c><00:17:41.259><c> at</c><00:17:41.420><c> sea</c><00:17:41.539><c> a</c><00:17:41.680><c> navy</c><00:17:41.880><c> of</c><00:17:42.240><c> Tarshish</c><00:17:42.579><c> with</c>

00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:44.079
the<00:17:42.980><c> navy</c><00:17:43.200><c> of</c><00:17:43.500><c> Hiram.</c>

00:17:44.140 --> 00:17:47.779
Once<00:17:44.519><c> in</c><00:17:44.819><c> three</c><00:17:45.180><c> years</c><00:17:45.759><c> came</c><00:17:46.119><c> the</c><00:17:46.279><c> navy</c><00:17:46.539><c> of</c><00:17:46.720><c> Tarshish</c><00:17:47.119><c> bringing</c><00:17:47.380><c> gold</c>

00:17:50.420 --> 00:17:55.140
And<00:17:51.220><c> when</c><00:17:51.900><c> we</c><00:17:52.160><c> actually</c><00:17:52.460><c> look</c><00:17:52.680><c> at</c><00:17:53.019><c> the</c><00:17:53.759><c> various</c><00:17:54.119><c> things</c><00:17:54.559><c> that</c>

00:17:55.140 --> 00:17:58.240

00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:02.400
The<00:17:59.160><c> suggestion</c><00:17:59.660><c> has</c><00:17:59.900><c> been</c><00:18:00.200><c> made</c><00:18:00.619><c> that</c><00:18:01.200><c> in</c><00:18:01.359><c> fact</c><00:18:01.680><c> India</c><00:18:02.099><c> is</c>

00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.160
the<00:18:02.599><c> most</c><00:18:03.019><c> likely</c><00:18:03.500><c> destination.</c>

00:18:04.380 --> 00:18:06.980
Peacocks<00:18:04.660><c> of</c><00:18:04.880><c> course</c><00:18:05.099><c> are</c><00:18:05.359><c> native</c><00:18:05.700><c> to</c><00:18:05.940><c> India.</c>

00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:12.660
And<00:18:07.359><c> the</c><00:18:07.579><c> terms</c><00:18:07.900><c> for</c><00:18:08.460><c> ivory</c><00:18:08.819><c> and</c><00:18:09.140><c> apes</c><00:18:09.460><c> here</c><00:18:09.779><c> are</c><00:18:10.019><c> both</c><00:18:10.539><c> Sanskrit</c><00:18:11.339><c> words.</c>

They're<00:18:13.119><c> Hebrew</c><00:18:13.400><c> words</c><00:18:13.680><c> here</c><00:18:13.880><c> of</c><00:18:14.059><c> course,</c><00:18:14.700><c> but</c><00:18:14.819><c> they're</c><00:18:15.059><c> both</c>

00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.920

00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.200
In<00:18:19.079><c> other</c><00:18:19.259><c> words</c><00:18:19.460><c> what's</c><00:18:19.880><c> happened</c><00:18:20.059><c> here</c><00:18:20.259><c> is</c><00:18:20.380><c> the</c><00:18:20.539><c> very</c><00:18:20.779><c> terms</c>

00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:25.119

00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:31.339
So<00:18:27.599><c> also</c><00:18:28.000><c> is</c><00:18:28.240><c> the</c><00:18:28.440><c> term</c><00:18:28.799><c> al</c><00:18:29.440><c>-mug</c><00:18:29.839><c> trees</c><00:18:30.240><c> that</c><00:18:30.519><c> is</c><00:18:30.759><c> found</c><00:18:31.019><c> in</c>

00:18:33.099 --> 00:18:36.839
It's<00:18:33.279><c> a</c><00:18:33.380><c> reference</c><00:18:33.660><c> to</c><00:18:33.920><c> a</c><00:18:34.140><c> type</c><00:18:34.299><c> of</c><00:18:34.599><c> sandalwood</c><00:18:35.259><c> that</c><00:18:35.720><c> is</c><00:18:36.079><c> native</c><00:18:36.420><c> to</c>

00:18:39.420 --> 00:18:41.940
So<00:18:39.839><c> what</c><00:18:40.180><c> we're</c><00:18:40.440><c> saying</c><00:18:40.660><c> is</c><00:18:40.859><c> well</c><00:18:41.019><c> let's</c><00:18:41.240><c> just</c><00:18:41.480><c> put</c><00:18:41.599><c> it</c><00:18:41.740><c> on</c><00:18:41.859><c> a</c>

He<00:41:29.519><c> made</c><00:41:29.800><c> a</c><00:41:30.099><c> balustrade</c><00:41:30.860><c> with</c><00:41:31.199><c> them.</c>

00:41:35.619 --> 00:41:36.760

00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:07.820

00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:12.659

00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:33.340
The<00:42:30.320><c> word</c><00:42:30.500><c> literally</c><00:42:30.820><c> means</c><00:42:31.239><c> here</c><00:42:31.599><c> a</c><00:42:32.239><c> staircase.</c>

00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:38.380
Now<00:42:36.739><c> where</c><00:42:36.920><c> did</c><00:42:37.059><c> the</c><00:42:37.320><c> staircase</c><00:42:37.820><c> go</c><00:42:38.199><c> to?</c>

00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:04.239

00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:52.300

00:43:52.780 --> 00:43:55.940
In<00:43:52.860><c> other</c><00:43:53.000><c> words,</c><00:43:53.199><c> we're</c><00:43:53.900><c> not</c><00:43:54.159><c> arguing</c><00:43:54.480><c> about</c><00:43:54.840><c> exact</c><00:43:55.179><c> location</c><00:43:55.760><c> here.</c>

00:43:55.960 --> 00:43:57.539
We're<00:43:56.119><c> talking</c><00:43:56.260><c> about</c><00:43:56.420><c> the</c><00:43:56.639><c> principle.</c>

00:43:57.619 --> 00:44:02.280
There<00:43:57.780><c> was</c><00:43:58.079><c> a</c><00:43:58.460><c> staircase</c><00:43:58.940><c> that</c><00:43:59.320><c> led</c><00:43:59.659><c> to</c><00:44:00.280><c> the</c><00:44:00.460><c> temple</c><00:44:00.960><c> or</c><00:44:02.059><c> to</c>

00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:02.739
the<00:44:02.500><c> palace,</c>

00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:04.840
depending<00:44:03.119><c> on</c><00:44:03.300><c> whether</c><00:44:03.440><c> one</c><00:44:03.599><c> was</c><00:44:03.760><c> going</c><00:44:03.920><c> up</c><00:44:04.179><c> the</c><00:44:04.380><c> steps</c><00:44:04.619><c> or</c>

00:44:05.420 --> 00:44:07.320
Why<00:44:05.639><c> would</c><00:44:05.780><c> you</c><00:44:05.900><c> go</c><00:44:06.019><c> up</c><00:44:06.179><c> the</c><00:44:06.360><c> steps</c><00:44:06.619><c> to</c><00:44:06.800><c> the</c><00:44:06.900><c> palace?</c>

00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:08.139
Sorry.

00:44:08.539 --> 00:44:11.079
Why<00:44:08.739><c> would</c><00:44:08.900><c> you</c><00:44:09.000><c> go</c><00:44:09.139><c> up</c><00:44:09.300><c> the</c><00:44:09.539><c> steps</c><00:44:09.780><c> to</c><00:44:10.059><c> the</c><00:44:10.239><c> temple?</c>

00:44:13.059 --> 00:44:14.800
Because<00:44:13.579><c> the</c><00:44:13.800><c> temple</c><00:44:14.000><c> area</c><00:44:14.159><c> was</c><00:44:14.400><c> higher,</c>

00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:16.599
because<00:44:15.360><c> that's</c><00:44:15.679><c> on</c><00:44:15.860><c> Mount</c><00:44:16.079><c> Moriah,</c>

00:44:17.019 --> 00:44:18.780
the<00:44:17.320><c> palace</c><00:44:17.579><c> area</c><00:44:17.840><c> was</c><00:44:18.039><c> on</c><00:44:18.320><c> Ophel,</c>

00:44:19.099 --> 00:44:21.300
and<00:44:19.340><c> below</c><00:44:19.539><c> that</c><00:44:19.719><c> again</c><00:44:19.880><c> is</c><00:44:20.019><c> the</c><00:44:20.099><c> city</c><00:44:20.280><c> of</c><00:44:20.420><c> David</c><00:44:20.639><c> on</c><00:44:20.940><c> Zion.</c>

00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:24.800
So<00:44:21.519><c> we've</c><00:44:21.739><c> got</c><00:44:21.880><c> three</c><00:44:22.559><c> terrace</c><00:44:22.920><c>-like</c><00:44:23.300><c> stages,</c><00:44:24.260><c> haven't</c><00:44:24.500><c> we?</c>

00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:28.880
And<00:44:25.460><c> so</c><00:44:25.679><c> the</c><00:44:26.159><c> palace</c><00:44:26.559><c> area</c><00:44:27.039><c> is</c><00:44:27.579><c> actually</c><00:44:28.039><c> physically</c><00:44:28.500><c> lower</c>

00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:30.559
than<00:44:29.260><c> the</c><00:44:29.500><c> temple</c><00:44:29.760><c> which</c><00:44:29.960><c> is</c><00:44:30.219><c> higher</c><00:44:30.400><c> up,</c>

00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:32.659
so<00:44:30.699><c> there's</c><00:44:30.940><c> a</c><00:44:31.199><c> staircase</c><00:44:31.659><c> that</c><00:44:31.920><c> leads</c><00:44:32.219><c> to</c><00:44:32.460><c> it,</c>

00:44:32.820 --> 00:44:36.400
but<00:44:33.000><c> the</c><00:44:33.260><c> staircase</c><00:44:33.619><c> goes</c><00:44:33.940><c> between</c><00:44:34.420><c> the</c><00:44:34.860><c> temple</c><00:44:35.239><c> and</c><00:44:35.800><c> the</c><00:44:36.099><c> palace.</c>

00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:39.360
Now,<00:44:37.119><c> this</c><00:44:37.400><c> is</c><00:44:38.000><c> Solomon's</c><00:44:38.920><c> ascent,</c>

00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:42.900
and<00:44:39.860><c> I</c><00:44:40.340><c> believe</c><00:44:40.639><c> that</c><00:44:40.840><c> that's</c><00:44:41.280><c> the</c><00:44:41.860><c> point</c><00:44:42.199><c> of</c><00:44:42.400><c> the</c><00:44:42.599><c> phrase</c>

00:44:42.900 --> 00:44:47.059

00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:52.079
that<00:44:47.239><c> when</c><00:44:47.460><c> it</c><00:44:47.760><c> says</c><00:44:47.960><c> therefore</c><00:44:48.519><c> that</c><00:44:49.260><c> she</c><00:44:49.639><c> saw</c><00:44:50.159><c> the</c><00:44:51.480><c> ascent</c>

00:44:57.780 --> 00:44:59.800
In<00:44:57.960><c> other</c><00:44:58.159><c> words,</c><00:44:58.840><c> what</c><00:44:59.000><c> are</c><00:44:59.099><c> we</c><00:44:59.199><c> being</c><00:44:59.440><c> told?</c>

We're<00:45:00.219><c> being</c><00:45:00.559><c> told</c><00:45:00.800><c> that</c><00:45:01.219><c> there</c><00:45:01.440><c> was</c><00:45:01.739><c> a</c><00:45:02.260><c> special,</c><00:45:03.760><c> private,</c>

00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:12.579
Now,<00:45:11.059><c> do</c><00:45:11.119><c> you</c><00:45:11.119><c> know</c><00:45:11.219><c> what</c><00:45:11.260><c> that</c><00:45:11.440><c> tells</c><00:45:11.659><c> us?</c>

00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:14.400

00:45:18.719 --> 00:45:20.400
There's<00:45:18.800><c> something</c><00:45:19.099><c> unique</c><00:45:19.639><c> about</c><00:45:19.940><c> his</c><00:45:20.179><c> reign,</c>

00:46:18.739 --> 00:46:22.880
Now<00:46:18.860><c> look</c><00:46:18.960><c> what</c><00:46:19.119><c> Ezekiel</c><00:46:19.579><c> says</c><00:46:19.960><c> in</c><00:46:20.300><c> chapter</c><00:46:20.579><c> 44</c><00:46:21.119><c> verses</c><00:46:21.500><c> 1</c><00:46:21.760><c> to</c><00:46:21.900><c> 3.</c>

00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:55.460
So<00:46:53.199><c> you</c><00:46:53.199><c> see</c><00:46:54.400><c> what</c><00:46:54.559><c> Ezekiel</c><00:46:54.980><c> tells</c><00:46:55.239><c> us?</c>

00:47:05.320 --> 00:47:09.159

00:47:12.579 --> 00:47:16.320

00:47:21.019 --> 00:47:24.260
It<00:47:21.019><c> was</c><00:47:21.239><c> the</c><00:47:21.539><c> royal</c><00:47:21.980><c> ascent</c><00:47:22.440><c> of</c><00:47:22.699><c> the</c><00:47:22.940><c> king</c><00:47:23.199><c> from</c><00:47:23.500><c> the</c><00:47:23.840><c> palace</c>

00:47:34.699 --> 00:47:36.800
Now<00:47:34.920><c> there</c><00:47:35.079><c> is</c><00:47:35.260><c> a</c><00:47:35.360><c> difference</c><00:47:35.619><c> of</c><00:47:35.840><c> course</c><00:47:36.099><c> in</c><00:47:36.360><c> the</c><00:47:36.500><c> temple</c><00:47:36.659><c> of</c>

00:47:49.380 --> 00:47:52.500
The<00:47:49.659><c> buildings</c><00:47:50.179><c> have</c><00:47:50.619><c> become</c><00:47:50.880><c> one</c><00:47:51.059><c> and</c><00:47:51.199><c> the</c><00:47:51.380><c> same.</c>

because<00:57:29.019><c> if</c><00:57:29.260><c> you</c><00:57:29.320><c> go</c><00:57:29.480><c> to</c><00:57:29.639><c> Isaiah</c><00:57:29.860><c> 60</c><00:57:30.219><c> and</c><00:57:30.340><c> have</c><00:57:30.519><c> a</c><00:57:30.579><c> look</c><00:57:30.679><c> at</c><00:57:30.760><c> it,</c>

00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:32.880
you'll<00:57:31.099><c> find</c><00:57:31.239><c> it</c><00:57:31.380><c> isn't</c><00:57:31.539><c> just</c><00:57:31.960><c> Sheba,</c><00:57:32.239><c> it's</c><00:57:32.400><c> Midian,</c>

00:57:33.159 --> 00:57:35.780
Ether,<00:57:33.900><c> Sheba,</c><00:57:34.760><c> Kedar,</c><00:57:35.420><c> Nebeoth,</c>

00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:39.960
the<00:57:36.099><c> whole</c><00:57:36.780><c> Arab</c><00:57:37.179><c> group</c><00:57:37.440><c> is</c><00:57:37.679><c> enumerated</c><00:57:38.199><c> there</c><00:57:38.559><c> of</c><00:57:39.000><c> which</c><00:57:39.400><c> Sheba</c><00:57:39.780><c> is</c>

00:57:39.960 --> 00:57:40.599
only<00:57:40.320><c> one.</c>

00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:44.519
But<00:57:41.219><c> who</c><00:57:41.440><c> does</c><00:57:41.579><c> the</c><00:57:41.860><c> queen</c><00:57:42.300><c> of</c><00:57:42.739><c> Sheba</c><00:57:43.480><c> represent,</c><00:57:44.000><c> do</c><00:57:44.179><c> you</c><00:57:44.239><c> think,</c><00:57:44.380><c> in</c>

00:57:44.519 --> 00:57:45.639
this<00:57:44.719><c> chapter?</c>

00:57:47.380 --> 00:57:48.300
Sorry?

00:57:49.800 --> 00:57:51.920
The<00:57:49.980><c> queen</c><00:57:50.219><c> of</c><00:57:50.500><c> England,</c><00:57:51.539><c> yes?</c>

00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:57.059
Yes,<00:57:52.420><c> the</c><00:57:52.840><c> sons</c><00:57:52.840><c> of</c><00:57:56.099><c> the</c><00:57:56.840><c> stranger.</c>

00:57:57.059 --> 00:58:01.000
Yes,<00:57:57.059><c> the</c><00:57:57.059><c> sons</c><00:57:57.059><c> of</c><00:57:59.880><c> the</c><00:58:00.119><c> stranger.</c>

00:58:01.480 --> 00:58:04.360
So<00:58:01.480><c> we've</c><00:58:02.000><c> got</c><00:58:02.260><c> two</c><00:58:02.500><c> quite</c><00:58:02.760><c> divergent</c><00:58:03.360><c> views</c><00:58:03.719><c> here.</c>

00:58:04.800 --> 00:58:06.280
Well,<00:58:05.139><c> perhaps</c><00:58:05.340><c> not</c><00:58:05.500><c> altogether</c><00:58:05.860><c> divergent.</c>

00:58:06.320 --> 00:58:09.460
Any<00:58:06.519><c> other</c><00:58:07.900><c> prototypes</c><00:58:08.480><c> here?</c>

00:58:11.519 --> 00:58:14.460
Who<00:58:11.639><c> does</c><00:58:11.980><c> the</c><00:58:12.219><c> queen</c><00:58:12.380><c> of</c><00:58:12.599><c> Sheba</c><00:58:12.820><c> represent</c><00:58:13.239><c> in</c><00:58:13.400><c> the</c><00:58:13.579><c> chapter?</c>

00:58:15.420 --> 00:58:16.280
Gentile<00:58:15.920><c> nations.</c>

00:58:16.639 --> 00:58:18.719
Gentile<00:58:17.239><c> nations,</c><00:58:18.300><c> yes.</c>

00:58:18.719 --> 00:58:21.920
So<00:58:18.980><c> let's</c><00:58:19.199><c> put</c><00:58:19.400><c> all</c><00:58:19.539><c> that</c><00:58:19.679><c> together</c><00:58:20.320><c> and</c><00:58:20.599><c> say</c><00:58:21.079><c> yes,</c><00:58:21.559><c> yes,</c><00:58:21.719><c> yes</c>

00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:23.599
to<00:58:22.099><c> all</c><00:58:22.260><c> three</c><00:58:22.460><c> of</c><00:58:22.619><c> them.</c>

00:58:23.719 --> 00:58:26.099
And<00:58:23.900><c> then</c><00:58:24.099><c> no</c><00:58:24.260><c> one's</c><00:58:24.539><c> offended,</c><00:58:24.860><c> so</c><00:58:25.059><c> that's</c><00:58:25.340><c> good.</c>

00:58:26.559 --> 00:58:29.099
But<00:58:26.760><c> I</c><00:58:26.920><c> think</c><00:58:27.099><c> that</c><00:58:27.260><c> the</c><00:58:27.400><c> point</c><00:58:27.579><c> here</c><00:58:27.800><c> is</c><00:58:27.980><c> that,</c><00:58:28.260><c> you</c><00:58:28.440><c> see,</c><00:58:28.619><c> what</c><00:58:28.860><c> the</c>

00:58:29.099 --> 00:58:30.599
chapter<00:58:29.360><c> is</c><00:58:29.679><c> about,</c>

00:58:30.900 --> 00:58:35.400
it's<00:58:31.179><c> a</c><00:58:31.340><c> chapter</c><00:58:31.739><c> about</c><00:58:32.539><c> Solomon</c><00:58:33.159><c> the</c><00:58:33.699><c> noble</c><00:58:34.300><c> statesman</c>

00:58:35.400 --> 00:58:41.960
receiving<00:58:36.340><c> the</c><00:58:37.019><c> homage</c><00:58:37.559><c> and</c><00:58:38.480><c> allegiance</c><00:58:39.179><c> of</c><00:58:39.780><c> other</c><00:58:40.639><c> monarchs.</c>

00:58:42.079 --> 00:58:45.519
And<00:58:42.340><c> the</c><00:58:42.559><c> queen</c><00:58:42.739><c> of</c><00:58:43.059><c> Sheba</c><00:58:43.320><c> here</c><00:58:43.619><c> becomes</c><00:58:43.960><c> the</c><00:58:44.480><c> prototype</c><00:58:44.940><c> therefore,</c>

00:58:45.739 --> 00:58:47.139
and<00:58:45.920><c> I'm</c><00:58:46.039><c> going</c><00:58:46.139><c> to</c><00:58:46.260><c> say</c><00:58:46.340><c> this</c><00:58:46.500><c> quite</c><00:58:46.780><c> carefully,</c>

00:58:47.139 --> 00:58:53.460
of<00:58:48.099><c> those</c><00:58:48.980><c> other</c><00:58:49.780><c> powers</c><00:58:50.380><c> who</c><00:58:51.400><c> in</c><00:58:51.860><c> the</c><00:58:52.159><c> age</c><00:58:52.500><c> to</c><00:58:52.840><c> come</c>

00:58:53.460 --> 00:58:58.159
will<00:58:54.340><c> choose</c><00:58:55.159><c> to</c><00:58:55.820><c> give</c><00:58:56.059><c> their</c><00:58:56.400><c> allegiance</c><00:58:56.860><c> to</c><00:58:57.099><c> the</c><00:58:57.260><c> king.</c>

00:58:58.519 --> 00:59:00.719
It<00:58:58.679><c> won't</c><00:58:58.900><c> all</c><00:58:59.179><c> be</c><00:58:59.400><c> like</c><00:58:59.539><c> that,</c><00:58:59.900><c> will</c><00:58:59.900><c> it?</c>

00:59:01.019 --> 00:59:02.280
Because<00:59:01.300><c> Isaiah</c><00:59:01.659><c> 60</c><00:59:02.000><c> says,</c>

00:59:02.380 --> 00:59:04.699
The<00:59:02.380><c> nation</c><00:59:02.739><c> and</c><00:59:02.940><c> the</c><00:59:03.099><c> kingdom</c><00:59:03.340><c> that</c><00:59:03.559><c> will</c><00:59:03.840><c> not</c><00:59:04.260><c> serve</c><00:59:04.519><c> thee</c>

00:59:04.699 --> 00:59:05.320
shall<00:59:04.940><c> perish.</c>

00:59:05.539 --> 00:59:07.800
And<00:59:05.719><c> there</c><00:59:05.840><c> will</c><00:59:06.019><c> be</c><00:59:06.199><c> some</c><00:59:06.500><c> kings</c><00:59:06.760><c> and</c><00:59:06.960><c> some</c><00:59:07.260><c> rulers,</c><00:59:07.539><c> in</c><00:59:07.719><c> the</c>

00:59:07.800 --> 00:59:08.699
words<00:59:08.000><c> of</c><00:59:08.280><c> Psalm</c><00:59:08.500><c> 2,</c>

00:59:08.920 --> 00:59:12.320
who<00:59:09.059><c> set</c><00:59:09.320><c> themselves</c><00:59:10.000><c> against</c><00:59:10.800><c> Yahweh</c><00:59:11.199><c> and</c><00:59:11.440><c> against</c><00:59:11.780><c> His</c><00:59:12.019><c> anointed,</c>

00:59:12.599 --> 00:59:14.480
saying,<00:59:12.920><c> Let</c><00:59:13.059><c> us</c><00:59:13.300><c> break</c><00:59:13.500><c> their</c><00:59:13.780><c> bands</c><00:59:14.079><c> asunder.</c>

00:59:14.480 --> 00:59:21.380
So<00:59:14.960><c> the</c><00:59:15.179><c> queen</c><00:59:15.380><c> of</c><00:59:15.739><c> Sheba</c><00:59:15.940><c> is</c><00:59:16.219><c> a</c><00:59:16.440><c> prototype</c><00:59:16.860><c> only</c><00:59:17.500><c> of</c><00:59:17.800><c> those</c><00:59:18.460><c> monarchs</c>

00:59:21.380 --> 00:59:26.179
who<00:59:21.940><c> voluntarily,</c><00:59:24.260><c> who</c><00:59:24.780><c> willingly,</c>

00:59:26.880 --> 00:59:30.039
yield<00:59:27.159><c> their</c><00:59:27.679><c> allegiance</c><00:59:28.199><c> to</c><00:59:28.519><c> the</c><00:59:28.699><c> Lord</c><00:59:28.980><c> in</c><00:59:29.239><c> the</c><00:59:29.400><c> age</c><00:59:29.619><c> to</c><00:59:29.820><c> come.</c>

00:59:30.239 --> 00:59:31.360
Now<00:59:30.460><c> who</c><00:59:30.619><c> will</c><00:59:30.860><c> they</c><00:59:31.119><c> be?</c>

00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:34.260
The<00:59:31.760><c> answer</c><00:59:32.079><c> is</c><00:59:32.300><c> we</c><00:59:32.420><c> believe</c><00:59:32.739><c> they</c><00:59:32.920><c> will</c><00:59:33.099><c> be</c><00:59:33.340><c> probably</c><00:59:33.820><c> drawn</c>

00:59:34.260 --> 00:59:35.519
in<00:59:34.880><c> the</c><00:59:35.199><c> main</c>

00:59:35.519 --> 00:59:38.559
from<00:59:36.139><c> the</c><00:59:36.440><c> two</c><00:59:36.659><c> communities</c><00:59:37.119><c> that</c><00:59:37.360><c> we</c><00:59:37.559><c> mentioned</c><00:59:37.820><c> last</c><00:59:38.260><c> night.</c>

00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:42.639
From<00:59:39.079><c> the</c><00:59:39.480><c> entire</c><00:59:39.920><c> community</c><00:59:40.820><c> that</c><00:59:41.619><c> will</c><00:59:41.840><c> be</c><00:59:42.079><c> largely</c>

English<00:59:43.300><c>-speaking</c><00:59:43.800><c> nations,</c>

00:59:44.800 --> 00:59:46.760
and<00:59:44.800><c> perhaps</c><00:59:45.039><c> we</c><00:59:45.159><c> should</c><00:59:45.340><c> be</c><00:59:45.539><c> careful</c><00:59:45.800><c> there</c><00:59:46.000><c> because,</c><00:59:46.579><c> by</c>

00:59:46.760 --> 00:59:47.000
the<00:59:46.880><c> way,</c>

00:59:47.019 --> 00:59:49.019
the<00:59:47.119><c> fact</c><00:59:47.280><c> that</c><00:59:47.420><c> they</c><00:59:47.699><c> speak</c><00:59:47.900><c> English</c><00:59:48.199><c> doesn't</c><00:59:48.559><c> make</c><00:59:48.800><c> them</c>

00:59:49.019 --> 00:59:50.179
really<00:59:49.460><c> anything</c><00:59:49.739><c> special.</c>

00:59:50.460 --> 00:59:52.820
It's<00:59:50.719><c> probably</c><00:59:51.000><c> more</c><00:59:51.360><c> their</c><00:59:51.659><c> Protestant</c><00:59:52.199><c> background</c>

00:59:57.000 --> 01:00:01.780
