00:03:51.060 --> 00:03:53.560
Because<00:03:51.259><c> we're</c><00:03:51.539><c> trying</c><00:03:51.740><c> to</c><00:03:51.919><c> do</c><00:03:52.000><c> the</c><00:03:52.180><c> same</c><00:03:52.379><c> thing</c><00:03:52.580><c> with</c><00:03:53.180><c> the</c>

And<00:09:03.500><c> there's</c><00:09:04.320><c> a</c><00:09:04.559><c> name.</c>

00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.919
It's<00:09:05.379><c> almost</c><00:09:05.600><c> as</c><00:09:05.820><c> it</c><00:09:05.980><c> were</c><00:09:06.320><c> a</c><00:09:06.779><c> new</c><00:09:07.039><c> name,</c><00:09:07.279><c> isn't</c><00:09:07.500><c> it,</c><00:09:07.700><c> that</c>

00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:09.100
Christ<00:09:08.159><c> has.</c>

00:09:09.259 --> 00:09:11.879
He<00:09:09.500><c> wasn't</c><00:09:09.759><c> called</c><00:09:10.000><c> these</c><00:09:10.240><c> things</c><00:09:10.460><c> when</c><00:09:10.580><c> he</c><00:09:10.659><c> was</c><00:09:10.799><c> on</c><00:09:10.980><c> the</c><00:09:11.139><c> earth.</c>

00:09:12.059 --> 00:09:14.799
But<00:09:12.259><c> these</c><00:09:12.480><c> are</c><00:09:12.620><c> the</c><00:09:12.740><c> things</c><00:09:12.860><c> that</c><00:09:13.000><c> he</c><00:09:13.100><c> will</c><00:09:13.279><c> be</c><00:09:13.679><c> called.</c>

00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.080
Then<00:09:15.620><c> he</c><00:09:15.779><c> will</c><00:09:15.960><c> be</c><00:09:16.139><c> God</c><00:09:16.419><c> with</c><00:09:16.639><c> us.</c>

00:09:17.539 --> 00:09:22.039
He<00:09:17.700><c> will</c><00:09:17.860><c> be</c><00:09:18.039><c> the</c><00:09:18.320><c> individual</c><00:09:18.820><c> who</c><00:09:19.740><c> perfectly</c><00:09:20.600><c> manifested</c><00:09:21.500><c> God.</c>

00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.559
He<00:09:22.919><c> perfectly</c><00:09:23.519><c> showed</c><00:09:24.080><c> God's</c><00:09:25.320><c> character.</c>

00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.779
And<00:09:26.799><c> the</c><00:09:26.919><c> way</c><00:09:27.100><c> that</c><00:09:27.259><c> he</c><00:09:27.539><c> thought,</c><00:09:27.940><c> the</c><00:09:28.059><c> way</c><00:09:28.279><c> that</c><00:09:28.480><c> he</c><00:09:28.840><c> spoke,</c>

00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:30.820
and<00:09:29.960><c> the</c><00:09:30.100><c> things</c><00:09:30.220><c> that</c><00:09:30.399><c> he</c><00:09:30.580><c> did.</c>

00:09:30.899 --> 00:09:35.240
When<00:09:30.980><c> he</c><00:09:31.100><c> is</c><00:09:31.240><c> on</c><00:09:31.440><c> the</c><00:09:31.620><c> earth,</c><00:09:32.559><c> there</c><00:09:32.820><c> is</c><00:09:33.059><c> the</c><00:09:33.360><c> perfect</c><00:09:33.980><c> manifestation</c><00:09:34.759><c> of</c><00:09:35.100><c> God</c>

00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:36.240
in<00:09:35.440><c> the</c><00:09:35.580><c> earth.</c>

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.559
That's<00:09:36.720><c> what</c><00:09:36.840><c> we</c><00:09:37.080><c> hope</c><00:09:37.179><c> to</c><00:09:37.360><c> do</c><00:09:37.480><c> likewise.</c>

00:09:38.580 --> 00:09:45.059
On<00:09:38.779><c> the</c><00:09:38.960><c> earth,</c><00:09:39.600><c> when</c><00:09:39.720><c> he</c><00:09:39.919><c> returns,</c><00:09:41.080><c> we</c><00:09:41.220><c> all</c><00:09:41.500><c> hope</c><00:09:41.639><c> to</c><00:09:42.139><c> perfectly</c><00:09:42.820><c> manifest</c><00:09:43.860><c> God's</c>

00:09:45.059 --> 00:09:47.679
character,<00:09:46.059><c> way</c><00:09:46.299><c> of</c><00:09:46.779><c> being.</c>

00:09:47.820 --> 00:09:51.000
And<00:09:48.179><c> these</c><00:09:48.580><c> things</c><00:09:48.820><c> are</c><00:09:49.039><c> all</c><00:09:49.240><c> connected</c><00:09:49.639><c> to,</c><00:09:50.000><c> or</c><00:09:50.399><c> associated</c>

00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:52.919
with,<00:09:51.700><c> the</c><00:09:52.039><c> throne</c><00:09:52.240><c> of</c><00:09:52.519><c> David.</c>

00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.399
Now<00:09:53.159><c> that</c><00:09:54.419><c> reminds</c><00:09:54.759><c> us</c><00:09:54.980><c> of</c><00:09:55.179><c> 2</c><00:09:55.419><c> Samuel</c><00:09:55.919><c> 7,</c><00:09:57.679><c> doesn't</c><00:09:57.860><c> it?</c>

00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:00.840
And<00:09:58.840><c> the</c><00:09:59.179><c> promises</c><00:09:59.419><c> made</c><00:09:59.820><c> to</c><00:10:00.059><c> David.</c>

00:10:01.220 --> 00:10:03.759
This<00:10:01.500><c> man</c><00:10:01.840><c> fulfills</c><00:10:02.419><c> those</c><00:10:02.740><c> promises.</c>

00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:08.500
The<00:10:04.519><c> key</c><00:10:04.799><c> to</c><00:10:05.000><c> the</c><00:10:05.220><c> promises,</c><00:10:06.679><c> well,</c><00:10:06.840><c> that</c><00:10:06.879><c> key</c><00:10:07.019><c> belongs</c><00:10:07.279><c> to</c><00:10:07.519><c> him.</c>

00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:12.059
But<00:10:09.559><c> surely</c><00:10:09.779><c> there's</c><00:10:10.080><c> another</c><00:10:10.320><c> chapter</c><00:10:10.700><c> that</c><00:10:10.980><c> your</c><00:10:11.740><c> center</c>

00:10:12.059 --> 00:10:13.720
margin<00:10:12.399><c> talks</c><00:10:12.740><c> about.</c>

00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.100
Yes,<00:10:17.059><c> Isaiah</c><00:10:17.460><c> 22.</c>

00:10:18.340 --> 00:10:19.720
Isaiah,<00:10:18.700><c> Isaiah,</c><00:10:19.340><c> Isaiah.</c>

00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:25.200
AI<00:10:20.299><c> in</c><00:10:20.740><c> Hebrew</c><00:10:21.179><c> is</c><00:10:21.700><c> pronounced</c><00:10:22.220><c> AI,</c><00:10:23.519><c> IE,</c><00:10:24.759><c> right?</c>

00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:29.200
So<00:10:25.639><c> the</c><00:10:25.720><c> city</c><00:10:25.919><c> of</c><00:10:26.120><c> AI</c><00:10:26.379><c> was</c><00:10:26.620><c> really</c><00:10:26.899><c> the</c><00:10:27.080><c> city</c><00:10:27.539><c> of</c><00:10:28.039><c> IE.</c>

00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.879
A<00:10:29.480><c> little</c><00:10:29.580><c> different</c><00:10:29.860><c> the</c><00:10:30.019><c> way</c><00:10:30.100><c> we</c><00:10:30.299><c> pronounce</c><00:10:30.639><c> it.</c>

00:10:32.220 --> 00:10:35.220
Isaiah,<00:10:32.679><c> Isaiah</c><00:10:33.159><c> chapter</c><00:10:33.480><c> 22.</c>

00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:42.340
And<00:10:40.740><c> at</c><00:10:40.919><c> verse</c><00:10:41.120><c> 22.</c>

00:10:42.389 --> 00:10:48.679
And<00:10:42.639><c> the</c><00:10:42.879><c> key</c><00:10:43.279><c> of</c><00:10:43.539><c> the</c><00:10:43.720><c> house</c><00:10:44.019><c> of</c><00:10:44.340><c> David</c><00:10:44.759><c> will</c><00:10:45.960><c> I</c><00:10:46.419><c> lay</c><00:10:46.639><c> upon</c><00:10:46.980><c> his</c><00:10:47.379><c> shoulder,</c>

00:10:48.779 --> 00:10:50.779
so<00:10:48.860><c> that</c><00:10:49.000><c> he</c><00:10:49.240><c> shall</c><00:10:49.399><c> open</c><00:10:49.720><c> and</c><00:10:49.960><c> none</c><00:10:50.139><c> shall</c><00:10:50.379><c> shut.</c>

00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.059
He<00:10:51.500><c> shall</c><00:10:51.679><c> shut,</c><00:10:52.720><c> none</c><00:10:52.879><c> shall</c><00:10:53.080><c> open.</c>

00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.600
Now,<00:10:55.259><c> how</c><00:10:55.539><c> can</c><00:10:55.720><c> you</c><00:10:55.919><c> lay</c><00:10:56.240><c> something</c><00:10:56.539><c> that's</c><00:10:56.919><c> small</c><00:10:57.159><c> on</c><00:10:57.399><c> your</c><00:10:57.620><c> shoulder?</c>

00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.059
Because<00:10:59.039><c> the</c><00:10:59.240><c> keys</c><00:10:59.360><c> were</c><00:10:59.539><c> really</c><00:10:59.820><c> very</c><00:11:00.240><c> big.</c>

00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:02.960
Locks<00:11:01.600><c> were</c><00:11:01.899><c> large.</c>

00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:04.480
And<00:11:03.539><c> a</c><00:11:03.679><c> key</c><00:11:03.740><c> was</c><00:11:03.940><c> a</c><00:11:04.100><c> big</c><00:11:04.299><c> thing.</c>

00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:07.879
It<00:11:04.679><c> could</c><00:11:04.899><c> be</c><00:11:05.179><c> laid</c><00:11:05.320><c> on</c><00:11:05.519><c> a</c><00:11:05.679><c> shoulder</c><00:11:05.960><c> in</c><00:11:06.620><c> these</c><00:11:06.919><c> times.</c>

00:11:08.220 --> 00:11:10.639
We're<00:11:08.360><c> not</c><00:11:08.519><c> going</c><00:11:08.639><c> to</c><00:11:08.740><c> look</c><00:11:08.860><c> at</c><00:11:08.980><c> this</c><00:11:09.139><c> chapter</c><00:11:09.419><c> in</c><00:11:09.700><c> detail.</c>

00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:14.299
But<00:11:10.840><c> let's</c><00:11:11.100><c> just</c><00:11:11.879><c> summarize</c><00:11:12.340><c> what</c><00:11:12.539><c> is</c><00:11:12.759><c> going</c><00:11:13.000><c> on.</c>

00:11:14.700 --> 00:11:20.620
This<00:11:15.059><c> chapter</c><00:11:15.500><c> recounts</c><00:11:16.700><c> the</c><00:11:17.159><c> rebuke</c><00:11:17.919><c> of</c><00:11:18.200><c> a</c><00:11:18.340><c> man</c><00:11:18.539><c> called</c><00:11:19.279><c> Shebna.</c>

00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:25.759
Now,<00:11:21.100><c> Shebna</c><00:11:21.659><c> was</c><00:11:22.039><c> the</c><00:11:22.480><c> treasurer,</c><00:11:23.820><c> prime</c><00:11:24.100><c> minister</c><00:11:24.940><c> during</c>

00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:27.480
Hezekiah's<00:11:26.519><c> reign.</c>

00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.139
There<00:11:28.220><c> was</c><00:11:28.539><c> faithlessness</c><00:11:29.200><c> in</c><00:11:29.419><c> the</c><00:11:29.500><c> midst</c><00:11:29.679><c> of</c><00:11:30.519><c> the</c><00:11:30.659><c> nation</c><00:11:30.940><c> at</c>

00:11:31.139 --> 00:11:32.259
this<00:11:31.379><c> time.</c>

00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:36.360
Remember,<00:11:32.639><c> they</c><00:11:32.779><c> were</c><00:11:33.320><c> surrounded</c><00:11:34.200><c> by</c><00:11:35.039><c> the</c><00:11:35.240><c> hostile</c><00:11:35.659><c> people</c>

00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:40.519
that<00:11:36.980><c> wanted</c><00:11:37.360><c> to</c><00:11:37.940><c> destroy</c><00:11:38.399><c> everybody</c><00:11:38.799><c> on</c><00:11:39.000><c> the</c><00:11:39.159><c> inside</c><00:11:39.360><c> of</c><00:11:39.539><c> the</c><00:11:39.639><c> city.</c>

00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:44.179
And<00:11:41.659><c> the</c><00:11:41.980><c> people</c><00:11:42.340><c> began</c><00:11:42.799><c> to</c><00:11:43.059><c> lose</c><00:11:43.240><c> heart.</c>

00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:47.240
The<00:11:44.620><c> people</c><00:11:44.899><c> whose</c><00:11:45.200><c> primary</c><00:11:45.580><c> responsibility</c><00:11:46.399><c> it</c><00:11:46.679><c> was</c>

00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:52.580
