00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:54.160

00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:56.559

00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:07.019
and<00:18:03.319><c> they</c><00:18:03.420><c> would</c><00:18:03.559><c> be</c><00:18:03.859><c> scattered</c><00:18:04.140><c> into</c><00:18:04.440><c> all</c><00:18:04.740><c> parts</c><00:18:05.200><c> of</c><00:18:05.839><c> the</c><00:18:06.039><c> world.</c>

00:18:10.660 --> 00:18:11.619
So<00:18:10.779><c> he</c><00:18:10.920><c> breaks</c><00:18:11.099><c> beauty.</c>

00:18:12.059 --> 00:18:14.859
That's<00:18:12.400><c> a</c><00:18:12.519><c> symbol</c><00:18:12.700><c> of</c><00:18:12.880><c> their</c><00:18:13.079><c> relationship</c><00:18:13.619><c> with</c><00:18:13.880><c> God.</c>

00:18:15.259 --> 00:18:17.240
He<00:18:15.720><c> breaks</c><00:18:16.160><c> bands.</c>

00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.180
That's<00:18:17.640><c> a</c><00:18:17.740><c> symbol</c><00:18:17.900><c> of</c><00:18:18.019><c> their</c><00:18:18.220><c> relationship</c><00:18:18.740><c> with</c><00:18:18.940><c> each</c><00:18:19.200><c> other.</c>

00:18:31.819 --> 00:18:33.220
What<00:18:31.940><c> do</c><00:18:32.059><c> you</c><00:18:32.119><c> have?</c>

Two<00:18:38.160><c> sticks.</c>

00:18:39.660 --> 00:18:41.140

00:18:44.900 --> 00:18:47.859
In<00:18:45.240><c> a</c><00:18:45.460><c> remarkable</c><00:18:46.220><c> fulfillment</c><00:18:46.680><c> of</c><00:18:47.019><c> prophecy,</c>

They're<00:19:31.619><c> separated.</c>

00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.599

Beauty,<00:20:26.259><c> you</c><00:20:26.640><c> will</c><00:20:26.859><c> recall,</c>

00:20:27.339 --> 00:20:29.640
represented<00:20:27.619><c> the</c><00:20:27.960><c> fellowship</c><00:20:28.279><c> that</c><00:20:28.460><c> they</c><00:20:28.660><c> had</c><00:20:28.880><c> with</c><00:20:29.180><c> their</c><00:20:29.400><c> God.</c>

00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:31.460
When<00:20:30.099><c> he</c><00:20:30.339><c> broke</c><00:20:30.579><c> that</c><00:20:30.839><c> over</c><00:20:31.019><c> his</c><00:20:31.259><c> knee,</c>

00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:33.619
the<00:20:31.960><c> fellowship</c><00:20:32.339><c> with</c><00:20:32.559><c> God</c><00:20:32.779><c> was</c><00:20:33.240><c> destroyed.</c>

00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:35.880
But<00:20:34.019><c> look</c><00:20:34.140><c> at</c><00:20:34.259><c> verse</c><00:20:34.440><c> 27.</c>

00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.000
My<00:20:38.200><c> tabernacle</c><00:20:38.720><c> also</c><00:20:39.079><c> shall</c><00:20:39.279><c> be</c><00:20:39.440><c> with</c><00:20:39.740><c> them.</c>

00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.059
Yea,<00:20:41.359><c> I</c><00:20:41.619><c> will</c><00:20:41.799><c> be</c><00:20:42.000><c> their</c><00:20:42.180><c> God</c><00:20:42.400><c> and</c><00:20:42.480><c> they</c><00:20:42.660><c> shall</c><00:20:42.759><c> be</c><00:20:42.880><c> my</c><00:20:43.119><c> people.</c>

00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.200
And<00:20:44.240><c> the</c><00:20:44.420><c> heathen</c><00:20:44.700><c> shall</c><00:20:44.880><c> know</c><00:20:45.160><c> that</c><00:20:45.500><c> I</c><00:20:45.819><c> Yahweh</c><00:20:46.079><c> do</c><00:20:46.259><c> sanctify</c><00:20:46.819><c> Israel</c>

00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:50.779
when<00:20:47.420><c> my</c><00:20:47.740><c> sanctuary</c><00:20:48.420><c> shall</c><00:20:49.079><c> be</c><00:20:49.319><c> in</c><00:20:49.519><c> the</c><00:20:49.599><c> midst</c><00:20:49.839><c> of</c><00:20:50.059><c> them</c><00:20:50.240><c> forevermore.</c>

00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:53.680
He's<00:20:51.339><c> just</c><00:20:51.859><c> healed</c><00:20:52.519><c> bands.</c>

00:20:54.220 --> 00:20:56.099
So<00:20:54.420><c> Zechariah</c><00:20:54.940><c> breaks</c><00:20:55.359><c> them</c><00:20:55.640><c> in</c><00:20:55.880><c> two.</c>

00:20:56.339 --> 00:20:57.480
They're<00:20:56.599><c> separate.</c>

00:20:57.559 --> 00:20:59.519
But<00:20:57.720><c> Ezekiel</c><00:20:58.019><c> says</c><00:20:58.259><c> the</c><00:20:58.420><c> day</c><00:20:58.579><c> is</c><00:20:58.700><c> gonna</c><00:20:58.859><c> come</c>

00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:01.660
when<00:21:00.099><c> they</c><00:21:00.220><c> will</c><00:21:00.400><c> be</c><00:21:00.559><c> brought</c><00:21:00.680><c> back</c><00:21:00.980><c> together</c>

00:21:01.660 --> 00:21:05.859
into<00:21:02.500><c> one</c><00:21:02.940><c> stick,</c><00:21:03.859><c> beauty</c><00:21:04.259><c> and</c><00:21:05.259><c> bands.</c>

00:21:06.190 --> 00:21:07.660
Isn't<00:21:06.579><c> that</c><00:21:06.799><c> remarkable?</c>

00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:09.900
Remarkable<00:21:08.740><c> fulfillment</c><00:21:09.059><c> of</c><00:21:09.259><c> that</c><00:21:09.460><c> prophecy</c>

00:21:09.900 --> 00:21:12.240
between<00:21:10.640><c> Zechariah</c><00:21:11.339><c> and</c><00:21:11.960><c> Ezekiel.</c>

00:21:12.259 --> 00:21:15.500
Let's<00:21:12.400><c> come</c><00:21:12.619><c> back</c><00:21:12.839><c> to</c><00:21:13.559><c> Zechariah</c><00:21:13.920><c> chapter</c><00:21:14.240><c> 11.</c>

00:21:26.349 --> 00:21:29.839
It<00:21:26.740><c> appears</c><00:21:26.980><c> that</c><00:21:27.240><c> Zechariah</c><00:21:27.559><c> had</c><00:21:27.759><c> three</c><00:21:28.099><c> particular</c><00:21:28.619><c> groups</c>

00:21:29.990 --> 00:21:31.859
that<00:21:30.380><c> opposed</c><00:21:30.779><c> him.</c>

00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:34.480
11<00:21:33.140><c> verse</c><00:21:33.420><c> eight</c><00:21:33.619><c> says,</c>

00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.940
three<00:21:34.519><c> shepherds</c><00:21:34.980><c> also</c><00:21:35.400><c> will</c><00:21:35.599><c> I</c><00:21:35.859><c> cut</c><00:21:36.099><c> off</c><00:21:36.660><c> in</c><00:21:37.380><c> one</c><00:21:37.740><c> month.</c>

00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:39.380
The<00:21:38.079><c> word</c><00:21:38.180><c> cut</c><00:21:38.400><c> off</c><00:21:38.519><c> there</c><00:21:38.660><c> means</c><00:21:38.940><c> to</c><00:21:39.180><c> disown.</c>

00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:40.880
He<00:21:39.660><c> fired</c><00:21:40.019><c> them.</c>

00:21:41.140 --> 00:21:45.339
He<00:21:41.359><c> fired</c><00:21:41.579><c> these</c><00:21:41.920><c> three</c><00:21:42.220><c> shepherds</c><00:21:42.859><c> in</c><00:21:43.480><c> one</c><00:21:44.400><c> month.</c>

00:21:45.380 --> 00:21:50.720
And<00:21:45.420><c> my</c><00:21:45.819><c> soul</c><00:21:46.339><c> loathed</c><00:21:46.960><c> them</c><00:21:47.380><c> and</c><00:21:47.599><c> their</c><00:21:48.039><c> soul</c><00:21:48.960><c> abhorred</c><00:21:50.240><c> me.</c>

00:21:51.059 --> 00:21:52.759
Three<00:21:51.400><c> shepherds</c><00:21:51.799><c> that</c><00:21:51.940><c> I</c><00:21:52.039><c> think</c><00:21:52.160><c> are</c><00:21:52.299><c> the</c><00:21:52.460><c> references</c>

00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:04.440

00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:06.900
Earlier<00:22:05.160><c> in</c><00:22:05.299><c> his</c><00:22:05.539><c> ministry</c><00:22:05.759><c> he</c><00:22:05.960><c> said,</c>

00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:09.859
they'd<00:22:07.480><c> be</c><00:22:07.539><c> blind</c><00:22:07.839><c> leaders</c><00:22:08.099><c> of</c><00:22:08.279><c> the</c><00:22:08.460><c> blind,</c><00:22:08.640><c> let</c><00:22:08.819><c> them</c><00:22:09.000><c> alone.</c>

But<00:22:10.759><c> in</c><00:22:10.960><c> that</c><00:22:11.220><c> last</c><00:22:11.660><c> month</c><00:22:11.980><c> particularly,</c>

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:14.819
he<00:22:12.900><c> went</c><00:22:13.079><c> at</c><00:22:13.339><c> them</c><00:22:13.539><c> time</c><00:22:13.960><c> and</c><00:22:14.180><c> time</c><00:22:14.460><c> again.</c>

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:16.960
And<00:22:15.259><c> they</c><00:22:15.400><c> were</c><00:22:15.619><c> thoroughly</c><00:22:15.940><c> cut</c><00:22:16.220><c> off,</c><00:22:16.519><c> were</c><00:22:16.559><c> they</c><00:22:16.740><c> not?</c>

00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:19.539
They<00:22:17.680><c> could</c><00:22:18.000><c> not</c><00:22:18.279><c> answer</c><00:22:18.619><c> him</c><00:22:19.039><c> anymore.</c>

00:22:20.019 --> 00:22:21.900

00:22:21.900 --> 00:22:24.460
because<00:22:22.119><c> he</c><00:22:22.339><c> had</c><00:22:23.059><c> cut</c><00:22:23.319><c> them</c><00:22:23.559><c> off</c><00:22:23.720><c> as</c><00:22:23.880><c> it</c><00:22:24.039><c> were</c>

00:22:27.900 --> 00:22:30.660
Three<00:22:28.240><c> shepherds</c><00:22:28.680><c> he</c><00:22:28.799><c> would</c><00:22:29.019><c> cut</c><00:22:29.220><c> off</c><00:22:29.819><c> in</c><00:22:30.220><c> one</c><00:22:30.420><c> month</c>

00:22:33.019 --> 00:22:35.299
The<00:22:33.180><c> word</c><00:22:33.359><c> loath</c><00:22:33.700><c> means</c><00:22:33.900><c> to</c><00:22:34.200><c> grow</c><00:22:34.460><c> weary.</c>

00:22:35.619 --> 00:22:37.920
And<00:22:35.799><c> the</c><00:22:35.920><c> word</c><00:22:36.059><c> abhorred</c><00:22:36.480><c> there</c><00:22:36.640><c> means</c><00:22:36.940><c> to</c><00:22:37.279><c> detest.</c>

00:22:38.259 --> 00:22:43.519
Now<00:22:38.420><c> you</c><00:22:38.539><c> notice</c><00:22:38.720><c> it</c><00:22:39.259><c> doesn't</c><00:22:39.759><c> say</c><00:22:40.059><c> that</c><00:22:40.339><c> Zechariah</c><00:22:41.940><c> detested</c><00:22:42.599><c> them.</c>

00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:47.019
It<00:22:44.839><c> says</c><00:22:45.019><c> they</c><00:22:45.420><c> detested</c><00:22:46.039><c> him.</c>

00:22:48.140 --> 00:22:52.539
It<00:22:48.359><c> says</c><00:22:48.480><c> that</c><00:22:48.720><c> Zechariah</c><00:22:49.480><c> grew</c><00:22:49.859><c> weary</c><00:22:50.519><c> of</c><00:22:51.740><c> them,</c>

00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.400

00:22:56.339 --> 00:23:01.180
It<00:22:56.779><c> says</c><00:22:57.019><c> that</c><00:22:57.539><c> they</c><00:22:58.660><c> abhorred</c><00:23:00.259><c> him.</c>

00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:03.240
Now<00:23:01.519><c> you</c><00:23:01.559><c> think</c><00:23:01.680><c> about</c><00:23:01.900><c> the</c><00:23:02.059><c> attitude</c><00:23:02.220><c> of</c><00:23:02.380><c> the</c><00:23:02.500><c> Lord</c><00:23:02.640><c> Jesus</c><00:23:02.940><c> Christ.</c>

00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:06.819
He<00:23:03.400><c> didn't</c><00:23:03.720><c> hate</c><00:23:04.920><c> the</c><00:23:06.259><c> Jewish</c><00:23:06.500><c> people.</c>

00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:07.980
He<00:23:06.940><c> said,</c><00:23:07.140><c> Father</c><00:23:07.460><c> forgive</c><00:23:07.799><c> them</c>

00:23:07.980 --> 00:23:10.019

00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:13.200

who<00:32:44.599><c> made</c><00:32:44.759><c> him</c><00:32:44.960><c> one</c><00:32:45.160><c> of</c><00:32:45.259><c> his</c><00:32:45.480><c> 12</c><00:32:46.099><c> disciples.</c>

00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:48.740
He<00:32:47.359><c> worked</c><00:32:47.539><c> with</c><00:32:47.779><c> Judas</c><00:32:47.940><c> over</c><00:32:48.299><c> and</c><00:32:48.440><c> over</c><00:32:48.579><c> again.</c>

00:32:48.740 --> 00:32:51.200
And<00:32:48.859><c> he</c><00:32:48.859><c> tried</c><00:32:49.180><c> rebukes,</c><00:32:50.119><c> he</c><00:32:50.279><c> tried</c><00:32:50.559><c> compassion.</c>

00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:54.420
He<00:32:51.480><c> tried</c><00:32:51.619><c> all</c><00:32:51.880><c> kinds</c><00:32:52.160><c> of</c><00:32:52.279><c> things,</c><00:32:52.420><c> but</c><00:32:52.539><c> it</c><00:32:52.779><c> just</c><00:32:53.079><c> wouldn't</c><00:32:53.359><c> work.</c>

00:32:55.220 --> 00:32:57.480
And<00:32:55.400><c> Judas</c><00:32:55.519><c> betrayed</c><00:32:55.900><c> him</c><00:32:56.019><c> for</c><00:32:56.420><c> 30</c><00:32:56.720><c> pieces</c><00:32:57.099><c> of</c><00:32:57.359><c> silver.</c>

00:32:57.539 --> 00:32:59.819
Now,<00:32:57.680><c> where</c><00:32:57.859><c> did</c><00:32:58.079><c> Judas</c><00:32:58.319><c> end</c><00:32:58.619><c> up?</c>

00:33:00.339 --> 00:33:02.700
Well,<00:33:00.559><c> he</c><00:33:00.619><c> ended</c><00:33:00.720><c> up</c><00:33:01.099><c> hanging</c><00:33:01.480><c> himself.</c>

00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:04.400
But<00:33:03.279><c> as</c><00:33:03.539><c> he</c><00:33:03.680><c> was</c><00:33:03.880><c> hanging</c><00:33:04.079><c> himself,</c>

00:33:04.460 --> 00:33:06.400
we<00:33:04.519><c> know</c><00:33:04.660><c> from</c><00:33:04.799><c> Acts</c><00:33:05.000><c> chapter</c><00:33:05.240><c> one</c><00:33:05.420><c> that</c><00:33:05.539><c> the</c><00:33:05.759><c> rope</c><00:33:05.920><c> snapped</c>

00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:10.339
and<00:33:06.779><c> he</c><00:33:07.220><c> fell</c><00:33:07.420><c> down</c><00:33:07.759><c> headlong</c><00:33:08.079><c> and</c><00:33:08.180><c> he</c><00:33:08.279><c> was</c><00:33:08.640><c> smashed</c><00:33:09.019><c> in</c><00:33:09.319><c> pieces</c>

00:33:10.980 --> 00:33:14.059
just<00:33:11.500><c> like</c><00:33:12.019><c> the</c><00:33:12.559><c> potter's</c><00:33:13.099><c> vessel.</c>

00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:18.299
And<00:33:14.420><c> so</c><00:33:14.559><c> was</c><00:33:14.779><c> fulfilled</c><00:33:15.180><c> the</c><00:33:15.400><c> words</c><00:33:15.619><c> of</c><00:33:16.279><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:33:17.720><c> the</c><00:33:17.900><c> prophet.</c>

00:33:18.299 --> 00:33:19.700
Even<00:33:18.640><c> though</c><00:33:18.799><c> he's</c><00:33:19.019><c> quoting</c><00:33:19.259><c> Zechariah,</c>

00:33:19.779 --> 00:33:21.220
it's<00:33:19.859><c> all</c><00:33:20.059><c> based</c><00:33:20.259><c> upon</c><00:33:20.500><c> Jeremiah</c><00:33:20.859><c> 18.</c>

00:33:21.259 --> 00:33:22.680
He<00:33:21.339><c> went</c><00:33:21.440><c> down</c><00:33:21.640><c> to</c><00:33:21.819><c> the</c><00:33:21.960><c> potter's</c><00:33:22.319><c> house</c>

00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:26.019
and<00:33:23.079><c> he</c><00:33:23.240><c> saw</c><00:33:23.319><c> those</c><00:33:23.599><c> vessels</c><00:33:23.900><c> that</c><00:33:24.099><c> wouldn't</c><00:33:24.299><c> work</c><00:33:24.440><c> being</c><00:33:24.900><c> smashed.</c>

00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:29.180
And<00:33:27.180><c> Judas</c><00:33:27.319><c> ended</c><00:33:27.539><c> up</c><00:33:27.819><c> just</c><00:33:28.160><c> like</c><00:33:28.400><c> one</c><00:33:28.559><c> of</c><00:33:28.720><c> them,</c>

00:33:29.380 --> 00:33:32.799
a<00:33:29.559><c> potter's</c><00:33:29.900><c> vessel</c><00:33:30.059><c> that</c><00:33:30.460><c> smashed</c><00:33:31.200><c> in</c><00:33:31.900><c> the</c><00:33:32.059><c> valley.</c>

00:33:33.700 --> 00:33:35.460
So<00:33:33.859><c> let's</c><00:33:33.960><c> come</c><00:33:34.160><c> back</c><00:33:34.420><c> to</c><00:33:34.960><c> Zechariah</c><00:33:35.319><c> 11,</c>

00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:39.480
but<00:33:35.599><c> don't</c><00:33:35.859><c> lose</c><00:33:36.359><c> Matthew</c><00:33:36.900><c> because</c><00:33:38.160><c> we'll</c><00:33:38.400><c> finish</c><00:33:38.640><c> there.</c>

00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:41.039
So<00:33:39.900><c> before</c><00:33:40.160><c> you</c><00:33:40.380><c> go,</c><00:33:40.720><c> Zechariah,</c>

00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:42.960
I<00:33:41.079><c> want</c><00:33:41.200><c> you</c><00:33:41.339><c> to</c><00:33:41.460><c> do</c><00:33:41.559><c> one</c><00:33:41.759><c> more</c><00:33:41.960><c> thing.</c>

00:33:43.700 --> 00:33:50.220
I<00:33:44.220><c> want</c><00:33:44.380><c> you</c><00:33:44.539><c> to</c><00:33:44.779><c> take</c><00:33:46.440><c> bands</c><00:33:47.160><c> and</c><00:33:48.339><c> break</c><00:33:48.599><c> it</c><00:33:48.779><c> over</c><00:33:48.900><c> your</c><00:33:49.099><c> knee.</c>

00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:54.299
Verse<00:33:51.400><c> 14,</c><00:33:51.980><c> then</c><00:33:52.180><c> I</c><00:33:52.359><c> cut</c><00:33:52.480><c> asunder</c><00:33:52.779><c> my</c><00:33:52.940><c> other</c><00:33:53.200><c> staff,</c><00:33:53.599><c> even</c><00:33:53.859><c> bands,</c>

00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:57.359
that<00:33:54.779><c> I</c><00:33:54.940><c> might</c><00:33:55.140><c> break</c><00:33:55.579><c> the</c><00:33:55.900><c> brotherhood</c><00:33:56.319><c> between</c><00:33:56.660><c> Judah</c><00:33:56.940><c> and</c><00:33:57.160><c> Israel.</c>

00:33:57.759 --> 00:33:59.740
That's<00:33:58.279><c> now</c><00:33:58.599><c> gone,</c><00:33:58.839><c> the</c><00:33:59.059><c> brotherhood</c><00:33:59.380><c> of</c><00:33:59.539><c> Israel.</c>

00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:01.359
Brother<00:34:00.099><c> could</c><00:34:00.299><c> no</c><00:34:00.559><c> longer</c><00:34:00.759><c> live</c><00:34:00.960><c> with</c><00:34:01.220><c> brother.</c>

00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:04.660
They<00:34:01.519><c> were</c><00:34:01.880><c> scattered</c><00:34:02.960><c> throughout</c><00:34:03.680><c> everywhere.</c>

00:34:05.339 --> 00:34:07.240
So<00:34:05.519><c> he</c><00:34:05.680><c> breaks</c><00:34:06.000><c> grace.</c>

00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:10.340
Their<00:34:07.539><c> relationship</c><00:34:07.980><c> with</c><00:34:08.179><c> God</c><00:34:08.480><c> is</c><00:34:08.699><c> now</c><00:34:08.880><c> destroyed,</c><00:34:09.300><c> it's</c><00:34:09.599><c> over.</c>

00:34:10.659 --> 00:34:12.920
He<00:34:11.099><c> breaks</c><00:34:11.539><c> bands.</c>

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:17.079
Their<00:34:13.539><c> relationship</c><00:34:14.079><c> with</c><00:34:14.320><c> each</c><00:34:14.619><c> other</c><00:34:15.280><c> is</c><00:34:16.500><c> now</c><00:34:16.760><c> finished,</c>

00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:18.239
it's<00:34:17.380><c> over.</c>

00:34:19.300 --> 00:34:20.320
And<00:34:19.440><c> then</c><00:34:19.539><c> he</c><00:34:19.559><c> says</c><00:34:19.780><c> to</c><00:34:19.960><c> Zechariah,</c>

00:34:20.340 --> 00:34:23.099
I<00:34:20.400><c> want</c><00:34:20.559><c> you</c><00:34:20.739><c> to</c><00:34:20.940><c> go</c><00:34:21.119><c> home</c><00:34:21.260><c> and</c><00:34:21.340><c> I</c><00:34:21.380><c> want</c><00:34:21.500><c> you</c><00:34:21.619><c> to</c><00:34:21.840><c> change.</c>

00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:27.320

00:34:56.139 --> 00:34:58.039
He's<00:34:56.440><c> a</c><00:34:56.800><c> worthless</c><00:34:57.559><c> shepherd.</c>

00:34:58.219 --> 00:35:00.179

That's<00:40:30.340><c> Zechariah</c><00:40:30.659><c> chapter</c><00:40:30.980><c> 13.</c>

00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:35.219
So<00:40:32.500><c> the</c><00:40:32.659><c> prophecy</c><00:40:32.900><c> of</c><00:40:33.099><c> Zechariah</c><00:40:33.579><c> is</c><00:40:33.719><c> on</c><00:40:33.840><c> his</c><00:40:34.059><c> mind</c><00:40:34.260><c> here.</c>

00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:00.300
Remarkable.

00:41:00.940 --> 00:41:02.760
The<00:41:01.119><c> question</c><00:41:01.360><c> that</c><00:41:01.480><c> we</c><00:41:01.559><c> have</c><00:41:01.719><c> to</c><00:41:01.880><c> ask</c><00:41:01.980><c> ourselves</c><00:41:02.360><c> this</c><00:41:02.599><c> morning,</c>

00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:18.679

Well,<00:41:20.739><c> that</c><00:41:20.900><c> question,</c><00:41:21.300><c> brothers</c><00:41:21.440><c> and</c><00:41:21.679><c> sisters,</c><00:41:21.980><c> is</c><00:41:22.139><c> answered</c>

00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:32.920
How<00:41:28.440><c> much</c><00:41:28.699><c> value</c><00:41:29.340><c> does</c><00:41:30.900><c> this</c><00:41:31.119><c> man</c><00:41:31.360><c> have</c><00:41:31.780><c> to</c><00:41:32.039><c> you?</c>

00:41:33.880 --> 00:41:36.179
Is<00:41:34.360><c> he</c><00:41:34.559><c> 30</c><00:41:34.800><c> pieces</c><00:41:35.159><c> of</c><00:41:35.400><c> silver?</c>

00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:40.500
Do<00:41:37.420><c> we</c><00:41:37.539><c> see</c><00:41:37.699><c> the</c><00:41:37.940><c> truth</c><00:41:38.079><c> as</c><00:41:38.260><c> a</c><00:41:38.420><c> burden</c><00:41:38.900><c> that</c><00:41:39.820><c> inhibits</c><00:41:40.280><c> us</c>

00:41:40.500 --> 00:41:42.280
from<00:41:40.659><c> doing</c><00:41:40.840><c> what</c><00:41:40.980><c> we'd</c><00:41:41.300><c> rather</c><00:41:41.480><c> do?</c>

00:41:44.000 --> 00:41:45.840
Or<00:41:44.480><c> is</c><00:41:44.659><c> it</c><00:41:44.960><c> all</c><00:41:45.159><c> of</c><00:41:45.300><c> our</c><00:41:45.480><c> life?</c>

00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:50.320
Do<00:41:46.000><c> we</c><00:41:46.980><c> give</c><00:41:47.300><c> the</c><00:41:47.780><c> truth,</c><00:41:48.119><c> all</c><00:41:48.219><c> of</c><00:41:48.360><c> our</c><00:41:48.519><c> heart</c><00:41:49.000><c> and</c><00:41:49.699><c> all</c><00:41:49.860><c> of</c><00:41:49.980><c> our</c><00:41:50.159><c> soul?</c>

00:41:50.420 --> 00:41:51.559
You<00:41:50.480><c> know,</c><00:41:50.599><c> if</c><00:41:50.860><c> we've</c><00:41:51.000><c> learned</c><00:41:51.119><c> nothing</c><00:41:51.360><c> else</c>

00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:55.000
from<00:41:52.340><c> the</c><00:41:52.619><c> prophecy</c><00:41:52.880><c> of</c><00:41:53.099><c> Zechariah,</c><00:41:54.199><c> we</c><00:41:54.519><c> learn</c><00:41:54.699><c> this.</c>

00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:57.519
The<00:41:55.559><c> truth's</c><00:41:55.860><c> either</c><00:41:56.119><c> everything</c><00:41:56.440><c> or</c><00:41:56.579><c> it's</c><00:41:56.820><c> nothing.</c>

00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:02.320

00:42:02.340 --> 00:42:05.659
We<00:42:02.539><c> are</c><00:42:02.659><c> either</c><00:42:02.880><c> in</c><00:42:03.139><c> the</c><00:42:03.360><c> truth</c><00:42:03.780><c> or</c><00:42:04.199><c> we're</c><00:42:04.360><c> in</c><00:42:04.579><c> the</c><00:42:04.780><c> world.</c>

00:42:05.980 --> 00:42:07.980
We're<00:42:06.139><c> either</c><00:42:06.420><c> in</c><00:42:06.719><c> light</c><00:42:07.000><c> or</c><00:42:07.179><c> we're</c><00:42:07.400><c> in</c><00:42:07.659><c> darkness.</c>

00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:10.019
We<00:42:08.139><c> either</c><00:42:08.400><c> have</c><00:42:08.760><c> love</c><00:42:09.119><c> or</c><00:42:09.320><c> we</c><00:42:09.460><c> have</c><00:42:09.760><c> hate.</c>

00:42:10.099 --> 00:42:11.420
There<00:42:10.280><c> is</c><00:42:10.659><c> no</c><00:42:10.880><c> middle</c><00:42:11.079><c> ground.</c>

00:42:11.500 --> 00:42:14.059
It's<00:42:11.679><c> either</c><00:42:12.019><c> everything</c><00:42:12.599><c> or</c><00:42:13.179><c> nothing.</c>

00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:17.119
We<00:42:15.840><c> ask</c><00:42:16.139><c> ourselves,</c><00:42:16.659><c> brothers</c><00:42:16.679><c> and</c><00:42:16.920><c> sisters,</c>

00:42:17.300 --> 00:42:25.079
