00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.539
Most<00:03:36.400><c> of</c><00:03:36.580><c> the</c><00:03:36.819><c> prophets</c><00:03:37.020><c> have</c><00:03:37.319><c> more</c><00:03:37.719><c> than</c><00:03:37.979><c> one</c><00:03:38.340><c> application.</c>

00:03:39.740 --> 00:03:42.560
I'm<00:03:40.099><c> not</c><00:03:40.400><c> saying</c><00:03:40.580><c> all</c><00:03:40.919><c> of</c><00:03:41.080><c> the</c><00:03:41.240><c> prophets</c><00:03:41.379><c> do</c><00:03:41.680><c> because</c><00:03:42.300><c> there</c>

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.240
are<00:03:42.740><c> many</c><00:03:43.099><c> specific</c><00:03:43.819><c> prophecies</c><00:03:44.300><c> which</c><00:03:44.819><c> apply</c><00:03:45.439><c> specifically</c>

to<00:03:46.819><c> specific</c><00:03:47.300><c> events.</c>

00:03:48.860 --> 00:03:54.099
But<00:03:48.979><c> generally</c><00:03:49.460><c> prophecies</c><00:03:50.020><c> like</c><00:03:50.360><c> Isaiah</c><00:03:50.960><c> and</c><00:03:52.240><c> in</c><00:03:52.560><c> many</c><00:03:52.759><c> parts</c><00:03:53.060><c> of</c><00:03:53.280><c> Ezekiel,</c>

00:03:59.099 --> 00:04:02.919
They<00:03:59.400><c> have</c><00:03:59.580><c> an</c><00:03:59.780><c> application</c><00:04:00.280><c> in</c><00:04:00.900><c> the</c><00:04:01.120><c> days</c><00:04:01.300><c> of</c><00:04:01.500><c> the</c><00:04:01.639><c> prophet</c><00:04:01.819><c> himself.</c>

00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.419
They<00:04:03.680><c> may</c><00:04:03.900><c> have</c><00:04:04.020><c> another</c><00:04:04.340><c> application</c><00:04:05.000><c> at</c><00:04:05.360><c> the</c><00:04:05.840><c> first</c><00:04:06.139><c> advent</c>

00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:13.000
And<00:04:08.639><c> almost</c><00:04:09.000><c> without</c><00:04:09.419><c> fail</c><00:04:09.699><c> they</c><00:04:09.900><c> will</c><00:04:10.159><c> have</c><00:04:10.419><c> a</c><00:04:10.680><c> latter</c><00:04:10.919><c> day</c><00:04:11.800><c> application.</c>

And<00:04:14.060><c> so</c><00:04:14.199><c> it</c><00:04:14.360><c> seems</c><00:04:14.659><c> very</c><00:04:15.099><c> appropriate,</c><00:04:15.800><c> brethren</c><00:04:15.900><c> and</c><00:04:16.120><c> sisters,</c>

00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.519
I<00:04:32.480><c> think</c><00:04:32.620><c> that's</c><00:04:32.939><c> something</c><00:04:33.240><c> we've</c><00:04:33.560><c> all</c><00:04:33.779><c> got</c><00:04:33.959><c> to</c><00:04:34.180><c> take</c><00:04:34.339><c> note</c>

the<00:13:38.600><c> word</c><00:13:38.919><c> wilderness</c><00:13:39.460><c> actually</c><00:13:40.200><c> means</c><00:13:40.559><c> the</c><00:13:40.840><c> place</c><00:13:41.039><c> of</c><00:13:41.320><c> shepherding.</c>

00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:43.419

00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:21.460
Yes,<00:14:19.179><c> we</c><00:14:19.360><c> might</c><00:14:19.600><c> talk</c><00:14:19.840><c> about</c><00:14:20.139><c> it</c><00:14:20.460><c> as</c><00:14:20.620><c> being</c><00:14:20.860><c> a</c><00:14:21.080><c> desert,</c>

00:14:32.019 --> 00:14:37.580
It's<00:14:32.220><c> a</c><00:14:32.340><c> term</c><00:14:32.600><c> therefore</c><00:14:33.139><c> that</c><00:14:33.500><c> implies</c><00:14:34.679><c> assistance,</c><00:14:36.379><c> attending</c><00:14:36.919><c> on</c><00:14:37.440><c> the</c>

Whatever<00:17:06.819><c> the</c><00:17:07.140><c> case,</c><00:17:07.900><c> they</c><00:17:08.160><c> were</c><00:17:08.400><c> feeding</c><00:17:08.819><c> on</c><00:17:09.359><c> the</c><00:17:09.579><c> sheep.</c>

00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:12.700
So<00:17:10.500><c> he</c><00:17:10.660><c> says,</c><00:17:11.039><c> let's</c><00:17:11.259><c> just</c><00:17:11.500><c> take</c><00:17:11.700><c> the</c><00:17:11.880><c> AV</c><00:17:12.099><c> for</c><00:17:12.319><c> the</c><00:17:12.480><c> moment.</c>

00:17:13.059 --> 00:17:14.480
You<00:17:13.220><c> eat</c><00:17:13.420><c> the</c><00:17:13.640><c> fat.</c>

00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.579
The<00:17:15.900><c> second</c><00:17:16.059><c> thing</c><00:17:16.279><c> is</c><00:17:16.880><c> you're</c><00:17:17.680><c> clothing</c><00:17:17.920><c> yourselves</c><00:17:18.380><c> with</c>

00:17:20.940 --> 00:17:26.900
And<00:17:21.180><c> the</c><00:17:21.319><c> third</c><00:17:21.559><c> thing</c><00:17:21.859><c> is</c><00:17:23.160><c> you</c><00:17:24.619><c> kill</c><00:17:24.940><c> them</c><00:17:25.599><c> that</c><00:17:25.960><c> are</c><00:17:26.160><c> fed.</c>

00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.859
So<00:17:27.579><c> the</c><00:17:27.960><c> well</c><00:17:28.240><c>-fed,</c><00:17:28.819><c> they</c><00:17:29.019><c> were</c><00:17:29.220><c> sacrificing.</c>

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.940
So<00:17:30.500><c> they</c><00:17:30.839><c> fed</c><00:17:31.039><c> and</c><00:17:31.240><c> they</c><00:17:31.680><c> clothed</c><00:17:32.140><c> themselves</c><00:17:32.900><c> on</c><00:17:33.740><c> the</c><00:17:33.980><c> sheep.</c>

00:17:40.059 --> 00:17:43.099
They<00:17:40.220><c> were</c><00:17:40.440><c> people</c><00:17:40.779><c> that</c><00:17:40.980><c> were</c><00:17:41.279><c> standing</c><00:17:41.539><c> up</c><00:17:41.859><c> and</c><00:17:42.059><c> with</c><00:17:42.299><c> their</c><00:17:42.599><c> mouths,</c>

00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:49.980
But<00:17:46.900><c> their</c><00:17:47.140><c> heart</c><00:17:47.380><c> was</c><00:17:47.599><c> going</c><00:17:47.839><c> after</c><00:17:48.099><c> their</c><00:17:48.339><c> own</c><00:17:48.640><c> covetousness.</c>

00:17:51.339 --> 00:17:54.059

00:21:43.339 --> 00:21:46.220
I<00:21:43.460><c> think</c><00:21:43.779><c> selfishness</c><00:21:44.440><c> is</c><00:21:44.779><c> in</c><00:21:44.980><c> fact</c><00:21:45.099><c> probably</c><00:21:45.519><c> the</c><00:21:45.759><c> basis</c><00:21:46.000><c> of</c>

00:21:50.619 --> 00:21:51.900
Well,<00:21:50.700><c> you</c><00:21:50.799><c> don't</c><00:21:51.039><c> suppress</c><00:21:51.400><c> it.</c>

00:21:52.099 --> 00:21:53.599
You<00:21:52.220><c> can't</c><00:21:52.579><c> just</c><00:21:52.819><c> destroy</c><00:21:53.220><c> it.</c>

00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:55.380

00:21:55.420 --> 00:21:57.440

But<00:22:40.460><c> that's</c><00:22:40.859><c> what</c><00:22:41.059><c> they</c><00:22:41.259><c> were</c><00:22:41.440><c> doing.</c>

00:22:43.059 --> 00:22:46.259
Is<00:22:43.220><c> it</c><00:22:43.380><c> possible</c><00:22:43.759><c> that</c><00:22:43.940><c> any</c><00:22:44.119><c> of</c><00:22:44.259><c> us</c><00:22:44.680><c> are</c><00:22:45.319><c> doing</c><00:22:45.519><c> just</c><00:22:45.920><c> that,</c>

00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:04.039
Don't<00:23:02.000><c> think</c><00:23:02.140><c> there's</c><00:23:02.319><c> any</c><00:23:02.599><c> doubt</c><00:23:02.839><c> about</c><00:23:03.140><c> that.</c>

00:26:38.140 --> 00:26:40.460
Come<00:26:38.319><c> to</c><00:26:38.480><c> think</c><00:26:38.579><c> of</c><00:26:38.680><c> it</c><00:26:38.759><c> I</c><00:26:38.819><c> haven't</c><00:26:39.119><c> seen</c><00:26:39.359><c> him</c><00:26:39.720><c> around</c><00:26:39.980><c> for</c><00:26:40.200><c> a</c><00:26:40.319><c> while</c>

00:26:40.460 --> 00:26:42.779
I<00:26:40.559><c> didn't</c><00:26:40.799><c> realise</c><00:26:41.099><c> it</c><00:26:41.279><c> had</c><00:26:41.319><c> been</c><00:26:41.539><c> that</c><00:26:41.839><c> long.</c>

00:26:47.220 --> 00:26:49.839
It's<00:26:47.700><c> quite</c><00:26:47.940><c> possible</c><00:26:48.460><c> they've</c><00:26:48.920><c> already</c><00:26:49.279><c> reached</c>

00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:56.000
Well<00:26:54.339><c> we</c><00:26:54.440><c> can</c><00:26:54.640><c> find</c><00:26:54.779><c> all</c><00:26:55.079><c> the</c><00:26:55.180><c> reasons</c><00:26:55.440><c> in</c><00:26:55.599><c> the</c><00:26:55.779><c> world</c>

00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:58.640
why<00:26:56.140><c> it's</c><00:26:56.240><c> their</c><00:26:56.480><c> fault</c><00:26:56.680><c> and</c><00:26:56.859><c> we</c><00:26:57.000><c> might</c><00:26:57.160><c> even</c><00:26:57.380><c> be</c><00:26:57.579><c> right.</c>

00:26:59.500 --> 00:27:02.279
But<00:26:59.680><c> you</c><00:26:59.859><c> know</c><00:27:00.039><c> that's</c><00:27:00.779><c> five</c><00:27:01.259><c> steps</c><00:27:01.680><c> at</c><00:27:02.000><c> least</c>

At<00:27:10.619><c> the</c><00:27:10.799><c> very</c><00:27:11.079><c> least</c><00:27:11.279><c> they're</c><00:27:11.500><c> at</c><00:27:11.599><c> step</c><00:27:11.799><c> number</c><00:27:12.099><c> five.</c>

00:27:15.099 --> 00:27:16.920
They're<00:27:15.559><c> driven</c><00:27:15.819><c> out.</c>

00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:20.259
So<00:27:18.200><c> you</c><00:27:18.500><c> see</c><00:27:18.660><c> the</c><00:27:18.799><c> situation,</c><00:27:19.440><c> brethren</c><00:27:19.680><c> and</c><00:27:19.960><c> sisters</c>

00:27:37.380 --> 00:27:40.099
So<00:27:37.559><c> if</c><00:27:37.700><c> the</c><00:27:37.920><c> watchman</c><00:27:38.299><c> tells</c><00:27:38.579><c> us</c><00:27:38.799><c> what</c><00:27:38.960><c> we've</c><00:27:39.279><c> got</c><00:27:39.380><c> to</c><00:27:39.599><c> do</c>

00:27:49.619 --> 00:27:52.200
And<00:27:50.039><c> I</c><00:27:50.160><c> do</c><00:27:50.400><c> believe</c><00:27:50.660><c> that</c><00:27:50.880><c> it's</c><00:27:51.039><c> the</c><00:27:51.180><c> most</c><00:27:51.440><c> insidious</c>

00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:54.779
it's<00:27:52.759><c> the</c><00:27:52.819><c> most</c><00:27:53.059><c> insidious</c><00:27:53.619><c> problem</c><00:27:53.960><c> that</c><00:27:54.240><c> any</c><00:27:54.440><c> one</c><00:27:54.559><c> of</c><00:27:54.660><c> us</c>

00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:23.000

00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:26.539
yes<00:46:23.460><c> we</c><00:46:23.719><c> want</c><00:46:23.980><c> the</c><00:46:24.280><c> protection</c><00:46:24.599><c> of</c><00:46:24.840><c> places</c><00:46:25.119><c> like</c><00:46:25.519><c> this</c>

00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:35.159

00:46:40.019 --> 00:46:41.900

00:46:41.900 --> 00:46:44.239
