00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:19.919
Who?

00:12:20.779 --> 00:12:24.379
The<00:12:21.419><c> seed</c><00:12:22.000><c> of</c><00:12:23.159><c> the</c><00:12:23.480><c> woman.</c>

00:12:25.700 --> 00:12:28.320
The<00:12:26.019><c> seed</c><00:12:26.179><c> of</c><00:12:26.320><c> the</c><00:12:26.440><c> woman</c><00:12:26.720><c> who</c><00:12:26.940><c> is</c><00:12:26.980><c> in</c><00:12:27.139><c> that</c><00:12:27.440><c> ark.</c>

00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.759
And<00:12:35.860><c> we're</c><00:12:35.940><c> going</c><00:12:36.019><c> to</c><00:12:36.139><c> see</c><00:12:36.200><c> this</c><00:12:36.379><c> throughout</c><00:12:36.720><c> scripture.</c>

00:12:37.779 --> 00:12:41.700

00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:43.620
It<00:12:42.080><c> goes</c><00:12:42.200><c> all</c><00:12:42.539><c> the</c><00:12:42.600><c> way</c><00:12:42.759><c> along</c><00:12:42.980><c> time.</c>

00:12:43.620 --> 00:12:50.259
And<00:12:44.139><c> then</c><00:12:44.320><c> it</c><00:12:44.539><c> focuses</c><00:12:44.919><c> and</c><00:12:45.179><c> centers</c><00:12:45.460><c> around</c><00:12:46.259><c> the</c><00:12:46.820><c> Lord</c><00:12:47.539><c> Jesus</c><00:12:48.440><c> Christ.</c>

00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:52.720
So<00:12:51.240><c> with</c><00:12:51.419><c> those</c><00:12:51.659><c> thoughts</c><00:12:51.919><c> in</c><00:12:52.139><c> mind,</c>

00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:56.120
the<00:12:53.240><c> hope</c><00:12:53.419><c> of</c><00:12:53.580><c> Eden</c><00:12:53.720><c> wasn't</c><00:12:54.019><c> lost</c><00:12:54.340><c> by</c><00:12:54.519><c> the</c><00:12:54.600><c> time</c><00:12:54.759><c> we</c><00:12:54.840><c> come</c><00:12:55.019><c> to</c><00:12:55.200><c> Abraham.</c>

00:12:56.940 --> 00:13:00.639
It<00:12:57.279><c> comes</c><00:12:57.279><c> reinstalled</c><00:12:58.259><c> under</c><00:12:58.519><c> Noah</c><00:12:58.960><c> and</c><00:12:59.419><c> the</c><00:12:59.539><c> seed</c><00:12:59.620><c> of</c><00:12:59.740><c> the</c><00:12:59.820><c> woman.</c>

00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.279
But<00:13:00.860><c> now</c><00:13:01.039><c> I</c><00:13:01.100><c> want</c><00:13:01.220><c> us</c><00:13:01.360><c> to</c><00:13:01.480><c> go</c><00:13:01.580><c> to</c><00:13:01.740><c> Genesis</c><00:13:02.019><c> 14.</c>

00:13:03.460 --> 00:13:05.460
The<00:13:03.620><c> focus</c><00:13:03.879><c> of</c><00:13:04.059><c> today's</c><00:13:04.460><c> study.</c>

00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:08.759
And<00:13:06.059><c> here</c><00:13:06.440><c> I</c><00:13:06.679><c> want</c><00:13:06.899><c> us</c><00:13:07.139><c> to</c><00:13:07.299><c> embrace</c><00:13:07.899><c> this</c><00:13:08.320><c> subject</c>

00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:13.899
because<00:13:09.259><c> here</c><00:13:09.840><c> before</c><00:13:10.279><c> us</c><00:13:10.620><c> is</c><00:13:11.059><c> the</c><00:13:11.340><c> compassionate</c><00:13:12.200><c> high</c><00:13:13.059><c> priest.</c>

00:13:14.059 --> 00:13:18.980
400<00:13:14.639><c> years</c><00:13:15.500><c> before</c><00:13:16.120><c> the</c><00:13:16.500><c> Aaronic</c><00:13:17.240><c> priesthood</c><00:13:17.720><c> was</c><00:13:18.240><c> established.</c>

00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:23.860
And<00:13:19.679><c> why</c><00:13:20.120><c> I</c><00:13:20.440><c> feel</c><00:13:20.720><c> this</c><00:13:20.980><c> is</c><00:13:21.240><c> so</c><00:13:21.779><c> central</c><00:13:22.240><c> to</c><00:13:22.460><c> the</c><00:13:22.620><c> word</c><00:13:22.740><c> of</c><00:13:23.019><c> God.</c>

00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:25.200
It's<00:13:24.320><c> not</c><00:13:24.539><c> an</c><00:13:24.779><c> enigma.</c>

00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:26.799
It<00:13:25.580><c> is</c><00:13:25.840><c> not</c><00:13:26.059><c> a</c><00:13:26.220><c> paradox.</c>

00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:29.600
It's<00:13:27.740><c> not</c><00:13:27.940><c> a</c><00:13:28.159><c> point</c><00:13:28.320><c> of</c><00:13:28.600><c> confusion.</c>

00:13:29.940 --> 00:13:34.340
Melchizedek<00:13:30.559><c> comes</c><00:13:30.899><c> at</c><00:13:31.100><c> the</c><00:13:31.519><c> right</c><00:13:31.799><c> time</c><00:13:32.379><c> in</c><00:13:32.740><c> the</c><00:13:33.000><c> right</c><00:13:33.279><c> way.</c>

00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:36.220
Because<00:13:35.120><c> he's</c><00:13:35.480><c> the</c><00:13:35.779><c> antidote.</c>

00:13:36.220 --> 00:13:37.080
He's<00:13:36.620><c> the</c><00:13:36.820><c> answer.</c>

00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:42.419

00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:21.819
And<00:21:18.779><c> the</c><00:21:18.779><c> Lord</c><00:21:19.200><c> appeared</c><00:21:19.480><c> unto</c><00:21:19.720><c> him,</c><00:21:20.319><c> Isaac,</c><00:21:20.380><c> the</c><00:21:20.599><c> same</c><00:21:20.799><c> night,</c><00:21:21.220><c> and</c><00:21:21.220><c> said,</c>

00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:25.880
I<00:21:22.440><c> am</c><00:21:22.799><c> the</c><00:21:23.359><c> God</c><00:21:24.039><c> of</c><00:21:24.559><c> Abraham</c><00:21:25.079><c> thy</c><00:21:25.460><c> father.</c>

And<00:21:45.119><c> he</c><00:21:45.319><c> builded</c><00:21:46.140><c> an</c><00:21:46.380><c> altar</c><00:21:46.720><c> there,</c><00:21:47.599><c> and</c><00:21:47.619><c> called</c><00:21:48.140><c> upon</c><00:21:48.920><c> the</c><00:21:49.400><c> name</c><00:21:49.619><c> of</c><00:21:49.819><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:08.640

00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:12.700
I<00:22:09.539><c> want</c><00:22:09.720><c> to</c><00:22:09.980><c> translate</c><00:22:10.559><c> in</c><00:22:10.980><c> the</c><00:22:11.160><c> literal</c><00:22:11.559><c> Hebrew,</c>

00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:23.960
It<00:22:16.900><c> literally</c><00:22:17.279><c> means</c><00:22:18.059><c> to</c><00:22:19.059><c> invoke</c><00:22:19.960><c> in</c><00:22:21.299><c> the</c><00:22:21.519><c> name</c><00:22:22.359><c> of</c><00:22:22.819><c> Yahweh.</c>

Or,<00:22:25.400><c> alternatively,</c><00:22:26.920><c> this</c><00:22:27.119><c> is</c><00:22:27.259><c> not</c><00:22:27.440><c> academic,</c><00:22:27.920><c> it's</c><00:22:28.039><c> beautiful,</c><00:22:28.640><c> it's</c>

00:22:29.859 --> 00:22:36.019
It<00:22:30.700><c> literally</c><00:22:31.079><c> means</c><00:22:31.640><c> to</c><00:22:32.299><c> invoke</c><00:22:32.839><c> Yahweh</c><00:22:33.920><c> in</c><00:22:34.640><c> the</c><00:22:34.920><c> name</c><00:22:35.220><c> of</c><00:22:35.519><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:38.240
Now<00:22:36.460><c> that's</c><00:22:36.599><c> not</c><00:22:36.759><c> just</c><00:22:36.940><c> a</c><00:22:37.019><c> play</c><00:22:37.099><c> on</c><00:22:37.279><c> words,</c><00:22:37.539><c> brothers</c><00:22:37.720><c> and</c><00:22:37.940><c> sisters.</c>

00:22:45.819 --> 00:22:50.460
We<00:22:45.980><c> could</c><00:22:46.500><c> interpret</c><00:22:47.059><c> that</c><00:22:47.400><c> as</c><00:22:47.859><c> invoking</c><00:22:48.759><c> God</c><00:22:49.480><c> through</c><00:22:50.059><c> the</c>

00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:02.740
Can<00:22:58.019><c> you</c><00:22:58.460><c> see</c><00:22:59.180><c> how</c><00:23:00.119><c> Abraham</c><00:23:00.579><c> now</c><00:23:00.880><c> is</c><00:23:01.160><c> beginning</c><00:23:01.700><c> to</c><00:23:02.240><c> recognize</c>

00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.140
He<00:23:16.180><c> invokes</c><00:23:16.500><c> Yahweh</c><00:23:16.920><c> in</c><00:23:17.079><c> the</c><00:23:17.279><c> name</c><00:23:17.539><c> of</c><00:23:17.779><c> Yahweh.</c>

This<00:23:24.160><c> is</c><00:23:24.400><c> 1800</c><00:23:24.880><c> years</c><00:23:25.539><c> before</c><00:23:25.880><c> Jesus</c><00:23:26.380><c> Christ</c><00:23:26.779><c> is</c><00:23:27.140><c> born.</c>

00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:39.079
And<00:23:29.980><c> Abraham,</c><00:23:30.880><c> understanding</c><00:23:31.480><c> the</c><00:23:31.940><c> seed,</c><00:23:34.099><c> he</c><00:23:34.380><c> calls</c><00:23:34.640><c> upon</c><00:23:35.119><c> the</c><00:23:35.500><c> name</c><00:23:36.680><c> of</c><00:23:37.819><c> Yahweh</c>

00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:42.960
in<00:23:39.680><c> that</c><00:23:40.039><c> seed,</c><00:23:41.519><c> which</c><00:23:41.660><c> would</c><00:23:41.859><c> be</c><00:23:42.059><c> centered</c><00:23:42.319><c> in</c><00:23:42.519><c> his</c><00:23:42.759><c> Son.</c>

00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:45.779
So<00:23:43.180><c> with</c><00:23:43.359><c> those</c><00:23:43.619><c> thoughts,</c><00:23:44.079><c> let's</c><00:23:44.339><c> go</c><00:23:44.599><c> to</c><00:23:44.759><c> John</c><00:23:45.019><c> chapter</c><00:23:45.380><c> 8.</c>

00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:49.180
And<00:23:46.240><c> suddenly,</c><00:23:47.039><c> John</c><00:23:47.240><c> chapter</c><00:23:47.539><c> 8</c><00:23:47.920><c> takes</c><00:23:48.240><c> on</c><00:23:48.700><c> a</c><00:23:48.900><c> slightly</c>

00:23:49.180 --> 00:23:50.240
different<00:23:49.640><c> perspective.</c>

00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:53.019
It's<00:23:50.599><c> worth</c><00:23:50.799><c> linking</c><00:23:51.119><c> these</c><00:23:51.400><c> two</c><00:23:51.619><c> verses.</c>

00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:55.220
John<00:23:53.759><c> chapter</c><00:23:54.119><c> 8.</c>

00:23:55.500 --> 00:23:58.440
This<00:23:55.599><c> is</c><00:23:55.720><c> a</c><00:23:55.720><c> short</c><00:23:55.940><c> verse,</c><00:23:56.259><c> a</c><00:23:56.420><c> verse</c><00:23:56.579><c> we</c><00:23:56.740><c> all</c><00:23:56.859><c> know</c><00:23:56.960><c> so</c><00:23:57.240><c> well.</c>

00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:04.319
John<00:24:00.099><c> chapter</c><00:24:00.480><c> 8,</c><00:24:01.559><c> verse</c><00:24:01.859><c> 56,</c><00:24:02.539><c> and</c><00:24:02.700><c> this</c><00:24:02.839><c> is</c><00:24:02.940><c> where</c><00:24:03.119><c> I</c><00:24:03.460><c> believe</c>

00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:08.339
the<00:24:04.859><c> Gospel</c><00:24:05.279><c> writer</c><00:24:05.819><c> is</c><00:24:06.259><c> referring</c><00:24:06.980><c> to.</c>

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:17.720
Your<00:24:10.220><c> father</c><00:24:10.940><c> Abraham</c><00:24:11.740><c> rejoiced</c><00:24:13.259><c> to</c><00:24:13.640><c> see</c><00:24:14.079><c> my</c><00:24:14.500><c> day,</c><00:24:15.619><c> and</c><00:24:15.859><c> he</c><00:24:16.240><c> saw</c><00:24:16.480><c> it,</c><00:24:17.019><c> and</c><00:24:17.359><c> it</c>

00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:19.200
was<00:24:18.079><c> glad.</c>

00:24:21.779 --> 00:24:25.559
The<00:24:22.359><c> seed,</c><00:24:22.779><c> brothers</c><00:24:23.079><c> and</c><00:24:23.359><c> sisters,</c><00:24:23.960><c> is</c><00:24:24.180><c> becoming</c><00:24:24.700><c> real.</c>

00:24:25.819 --> 00:24:30.359
It's<00:24:26.220><c> becoming</c><00:24:26.619><c> a</c><00:24:27.140><c> reality</c><00:24:27.640><c> in</c><00:24:28.079><c> this</c><00:24:28.440><c> man</c><00:24:28.799><c> of</c><00:24:29.240><c> faith's</c><00:24:30.099><c> mind.</c>

00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:32.420
But<00:24:30.779><c> we're</c><00:24:30.980><c> not</c><00:24:31.200><c> there</c><00:24:31.480><c> yet.</c>

00:24:32.779 --> 00:24:35.259
The<00:24:33.079><c> penny</c><00:24:33.420><c> still</c><00:24:33.980><c> has</c><00:24:34.259><c> not</c><00:24:34.539><c> dropped</c><00:24:34.700><c> with</c><00:24:34.940><c> Abraham,</c>

00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:36.759
and<00:24:35.460><c> I'm</c><00:24:35.559><c> going</c><00:24:35.640><c> to</c><00:24:35.720><c> show</c><00:24:35.880><c> you</c><00:24:36.019><c> that</c><00:24:36.160><c> in</c><00:24:36.259><c> a</c><00:24:36.400><c> moment.</c>

00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:39.319
It<00:24:37.420><c> requires</c><00:24:37.900><c> Melchizedek.</c>

00:24:39.579 --> 00:24:43.559
Melchizedek<00:24:40.259><c> is</c><00:24:40.539><c> absolutely</c><00:24:41.519><c> pivotal</c><00:24:42.039><c> in</c><00:24:42.220><c> the</c><00:24:42.339><c> life</c><00:24:42.500><c> of</c><00:24:42.759><c> Abraham.</c>

00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:45.420
Pivotal!

00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:50.519
But<00:24:47.880><c> flesh</c><00:24:48.279><c> now</c><00:24:48.579><c> is</c><00:24:48.839><c> forming</c><00:24:49.119><c> upon</c><00:24:49.460><c> the</c><00:24:49.680><c> bones.</c>

00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:53.299
The<00:24:51.180><c> picture</c><00:24:51.500><c> now</c><00:24:51.779><c> is</c><00:24:51.940><c> being</c><00:24:52.279><c> drawn.</c>

00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:56.579
The<00:24:53.700><c> seed</c><00:24:53.980><c> now</c><00:24:54.319><c> is</c><00:24:54.599><c> taking</c><00:24:54.920><c> on</c><00:24:55.339><c> substance.</c>

00:24:57.460 --> 00:24:59.380
It's<00:24:57.680><c> not</c><00:24:57.859><c> a</c><00:24:58.019><c> notion</c><00:24:58.319><c> from</c><00:24:58.539><c> Eden.</c>

00:24:59.420 --> 00:25:06.519
It's<00:24:59.740><c> becoming</c><00:25:00.180><c> a</c><00:25:00.940><c> reality,</c><00:25:01.640><c> a</c><00:25:01.880><c> reality</c><00:25:02.539><c> in</c><00:25:03.240><c> the</c><00:25:03.440><c> life</c><00:25:04.240><c> of</c><00:25:05.500><c> Abraham.</c>

00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:09.920
So<00:25:08.059><c> with</c><00:25:08.240><c> this</c><00:25:08.460><c> background</c><00:25:08.859><c> then,</c>

00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:14.019
so<00:25:10.559><c> with</c><00:25:10.680><c> this</c><00:25:10.900><c> background</c><00:25:11.220><c> we</c><00:25:11.380><c> come</c><00:25:11.599><c> to</c><00:25:12.240><c> Genesis</c><00:25:12.619><c> chapter</c><00:25:12.960><c> 14.</c>

00:25:14.339 --> 00:25:19.240
Now<00:25:14.480><c> remember,</c><00:25:15.480><c> we've</c><00:25:15.819><c> seen</c><00:25:16.000><c> a</c><00:25:16.259><c> fearful</c><00:25:16.859><c> fiery</c><00:25:18.000><c> cherubim</c><00:25:18.940><c> at</c>

the<00:25:19.480><c> east</c><00:25:19.880><c> of</c><00:25:20.700><c> Eden.</c>

00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:24.799
So<00:25:21.480><c> the</c><00:25:21.680><c> first</c><00:25:22.619><c> cherubim</c><00:25:23.259><c> or</c><00:25:23.480><c> the</c><00:25:23.559><c> first</c><00:25:23.980><c> priest</c><00:25:24.299><c> that</c><00:25:24.500><c> we</c><00:25:24.680><c> saw</c>

00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:25.759

geography,<00:25:29.220><c> and</c><00:25:29.359><c> it's</c><00:25:29.680><c> Eden.</c>

00:25:31.940 --> 00:25:33.000
And<00:25:32.279><c> what</c><00:25:32.440><c> was</c><00:25:32.700><c> Eden?</c>

00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:36.900
Well,<00:25:34.019><c> it</c><00:25:34.039><c> was</c><00:25:34.279><c> Eden,</c><00:25:34.599><c> it</c><00:25:34.619><c> was</c><00:25:34.779><c> a</c><00:25:34.980><c> garden,</c><00:25:35.359><c> it</c><00:25:35.380><c> was</c><00:25:35.559><c> a</c><00:25:35.700><c> paradise,</c><00:25:36.700><c> but</c><00:25:36.779><c> it</c>

00:25:36.900 --> 00:25:40.359
was<00:25:37.059><c> God's</c><00:25:38.559><c> dwelling</c><00:25:38.819><c> place.</c>

00:25:41.420 --> 00:25:43.759
So<00:25:41.559><c> the</c><00:25:41.880><c> cherubim,</c><00:25:42.380><c> brothers</c><00:25:42.500><c> and</c><00:25:42.759><c> sisters,</c><00:25:43.059><c> think</c><00:25:43.319><c> about</c><00:25:43.539><c> this.</c>

00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:49.940
The<00:25:44.319><c> cherubim</c><00:25:45.160><c> is</c><00:25:45.539><c> the</c><00:25:45.880><c> priest</c><00:25:46.460><c> of</c><00:25:47.700><c> God's</c><00:25:48.400><c> dwelling</c><00:25:48.599><c> place,</c>

00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:56.319
and<00:25:50.980><c> the</c><00:25:51.220><c> cherubim</c><00:25:51.619><c> stood</c><00:25:52.039><c> outside</c><00:25:53.380><c> God's</c><00:25:55.019><c> dwelling</c><00:25:55.200><c> place</c>

00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:00.619
and<00:25:56.839><c> abode</c><00:25:57.220><c> with</c><00:25:57.500><c> Adam</c><00:25:57.920><c> and</c><00:25:58.240><c> Eve</c><00:25:58.740><c> and</c><00:25:59.299><c> their</c><00:25:59.579><c> family.</c>

00:26:00.779 --> 00:26:05.480
We're<00:26:01.420><c> going</c><00:26:01.519><c> to</c><00:26:01.599><c> see</c><00:26:01.720><c> something</c><00:26:01.940><c> very</c><00:26:02.240><c> similar</c><00:26:02.460><c> now</c><00:26:03.079><c> in</c><00:26:03.519><c> Genesis</c><00:26:03.880><c> chapter</c><00:26:04.200><c> 14.</c>

00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:08.440
Well,<00:26:06.380><c> the</c><00:26:06.480><c> first</c><00:26:06.660><c> thing</c><00:26:06.839><c> that</c><00:26:07.039><c> distinguishes</c><00:26:07.559><c> this</c><00:26:07.940><c> priest</c>

00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:10.660
from<00:26:09.059><c> the</c><00:26:09.279><c> priest</c><00:26:09.519><c> of</c><00:26:09.799><c> the</c><00:26:10.079><c> cherubim</c>

00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:14.079
is<00:26:11.279><c> that</c><00:26:11.519><c> this</c><00:26:11.759><c> is</c><00:26:11.940><c> a</c><00:26:12.259><c> king</c><00:26:12.799><c> and</c><00:26:13.400><c> priest.</c>

00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:19.480
We<00:26:14.640><c> know</c><00:26:15.059><c> that</c><00:26:15.400><c> this</c><00:26:15.640><c> would</c><00:26:15.859><c> be</c><00:26:16.039><c> an</c><00:26:16.299><c> intertwining</c><00:26:16.900><c> between</c><00:26:17.799><c> the</c><00:26:18.319><c> royal</c><00:26:18.619><c> line</c><00:26:18.900><c> of</c><00:26:19.220><c> Judah</c>

His<00:26:23.960><c> name</c><00:26:24.299><c> means,</c><00:26:24.819><c> Melchizedek,</c><00:26:25.579><c> the</c><00:26:25.759><c> king</c><00:26:26.200><c> of</c><00:26:27.059><c> righteousness.</c>

00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:32.700

00:31:57.079 --> 00:31:59.599
so<00:31:57.299><c> that</c><00:31:57.440><c> if</c><00:31:57.660><c> a</c><00:31:57.799><c> man</c><00:31:58.000><c> can</c><00:31:58.319><c> number</c><00:31:58.519><c> the</c><00:31:58.720><c> dust</c><00:31:58.859><c> of</c><00:31:59.019><c> the</c><00:31:59.119><c> earth,</c>

00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:01.740
then<00:32:00.140><c> shall</c><00:32:00.440><c> thy</c><00:32:00.740><c> seed</c><00:32:01.039><c> also</c><00:32:01.359><c> be</c><00:32:01.579><c> numbered.</c>

00:32:01.779 --> 00:32:06.519
So<00:32:02.019><c> God,</c><00:32:02.440><c> then,</c><00:32:02.819><c> implants</c><00:32:03.039><c> within</c><00:32:03.279><c> the</c><00:32:03.400><c> mind</c><00:32:03.619><c> of</c><00:32:04.099><c> Abraham</c><00:32:04.099><c> the</c><00:32:05.119><c> promise.</c>

00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:09.480
Arise,<00:32:08.119><c> Abraham,</c><00:32:08.380><c> walk</c><00:32:08.700><c> through</c><00:32:08.880><c> the</c><00:32:09.000><c> land</c><00:32:09.099><c> in</c><00:32:09.279><c> the</c><00:32:09.339><c> length</c>

00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:09.700
of<00:32:09.599><c> it,</c>

00:32:09.700 --> 00:32:13.420
in<00:32:09.839><c> the</c><00:32:09.920><c> breadth</c><00:32:10.059><c> of</c><00:32:10.140><c> it,</c><00:32:10.259><c> for</c><00:32:10.420><c> I</c><00:32:10.619><c> will</c><00:32:10.920><c> give</c><00:32:11.099><c> it</c><00:32:11.700><c> unto</c><00:32:12.259><c> thee.</c>

00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:16.380
Then,<00:32:14.720><c> notice,</c><00:32:15.220><c> Abraham</c><00:32:15.579><c> removed</c><00:32:15.940><c> his</c><00:32:16.200><c> tent</c>

00:32:16.380 --> 00:32:18.140
and<00:32:16.579><c> came</c><00:32:16.779><c> and</c><00:32:17.000><c> dwelt</c><00:32:17.140><c> in</c><00:32:17.279><c> the</c><00:32:17.420><c> plain</c><00:32:17.559><c> of</c><00:32:17.759><c> Mamre,</c>

00:32:18.420 --> 00:32:21.480
which<00:32:18.559><c> is</c><00:32:18.740><c> in</c><00:32:18.940><c> Hebron,</c><00:32:19.519><c> and</c><00:32:19.759><c> built</c><00:32:19.900><c> there</c><00:32:20.240><c> an</c><00:32:20.480><c> altar</c><00:32:20.819><c> unto</c><00:32:21.180><c> the</c><00:32:21.380><c> Lord.</c>

00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:23.079
So<00:32:21.599><c> what's</c><00:32:21.819><c> going</c><00:32:21.980><c> on</c><00:32:22.160><c> here?</c>

00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:26.200
We've<00:32:24.359><c> already</c><00:32:24.500><c> seen</c><00:32:24.720><c> that</c><00:32:24.859><c> a</c><00:32:24.980><c> garden</c><00:32:25.240><c> was</c><00:32:25.440><c> going</c><00:32:25.559><c> to</c><00:32:25.700><c> be</c><00:32:25.859><c> lost.</c>

00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:29.700
It's<00:32:26.559><c> likened</c><00:32:26.759><c> here</c><00:32:26.960><c> to</c><00:32:27.079><c> Sodom</c><00:32:27.400><c> and</c><00:32:27.480><c> Gomorrah,</c><00:32:27.920><c> there</c><00:32:28.000><c> in</c><00:32:28.119><c> verse</c><00:32:28.380><c> 10.</c>

00:32:31.099 --> 00:32:36.180
But<00:32:31.299><c> God</c><00:32:31.619><c> promises</c><00:32:32.180><c> Abraham,</c><00:32:33.079><c> here,</c><00:32:33.740><c> a</c><00:32:33.900><c> land</c><00:32:34.500><c> that</c><00:32:35.339><c> he</c><00:32:35.819><c> and</c>

00:32:36.180 --> 00:32:36.839
his<00:32:36.579><c> seed,</c>

00:32:36.900 --> 00:32:43.460
his<00:32:37.259><c> promised</c><00:32:37.500><c> seed,</c><00:32:38.400><c> could</c><00:32:38.720><c> walk</c><00:32:39.220><c> through</c><00:32:39.819><c> and</c><00:32:40.940><c> inhabit</c><00:32:41.579><c> forever.</c>

00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:49.299
Now<00:32:44.000><c> remember,</c><00:32:45.720><c> Abraham</c><00:32:46.339><c> is</c><00:32:47.420><c> going</c><00:32:47.559><c> to</c><00:32:47.859><c> walk</c><00:32:48.140><c> the</c><00:32:48.440><c> length</c><00:32:48.799><c> and</c>

00:32:49.299 --> 00:32:51.480
breadth<00:32:49.700><c> of</c><00:32:50.119><c> this</c><00:32:50.380><c> land.</c>

00:32:52.380 --> 00:32:55.339
Adam<00:32:52.700><c> and</c><00:32:52.920><c> Eve,</c><00:32:54.099><c> they</c><00:32:54.359><c> were</c><00:32:54.579><c> cast</c><00:32:54.920><c> out.</c>

00:32:55.339 --> 00:33:01.960
No<00:32:56.000><c> longer</c><00:32:56.579><c> could</c><00:32:57.039><c> they</c><00:32:58.039><c> walk</c><00:32:58.900><c> in</c><00:32:59.779><c> that</c><00:33:00.160><c> land,</c><00:33:01.119><c> that</c><00:33:01.539><c> fenced</c>

00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:03.220
off<00:33:02.240><c> place,</c>

00:33:03.299 --> 00:33:06.720
the<00:33:03.579><c> place</c><00:33:04.140><c> where</c><00:33:04.660><c> God</c><00:33:05.599><c> resided.</c>

00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:09.960
They<00:33:07.619><c> were</c><00:33:08.619><c> dying.</c>

00:33:11.099 --> 00:33:14.220
I'm<00:33:11.299><c> going</c><00:33:11.400><c> to</c><00:33:11.500><c> suggest</c><00:33:11.839><c> here</c><00:33:12.240><c> that</c><00:33:12.440><c> in</c><00:33:12.559><c> these</c><00:33:12.839><c> closing</c><00:33:13.319><c> verses</c><00:33:13.920><c> of</c>

Genesis,<00:33:15.519><c> here,</c>

00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.700
that<00:33:17.220><c> we're</c><00:33:17.640><c> seeing</c><00:33:18.319><c> Eden</c><00:33:19.380><c> restored.</c>

00:33:20.700 --> 00:33:24.579
Look<00:33:21.099><c> at</c><00:33:21.319><c> the</c><00:33:21.740><c> meanings</c><00:33:22.059><c> of</c><00:33:22.299><c> the</c><00:33:22.480><c> names</c><00:33:22.779><c> here</c><00:33:23.440><c> at</c><00:33:23.720><c> the</c><00:33:24.200><c> closing</c>

00:33:30.059 --> 00:33:33.259
After<00:33:30.319><c> Abraham</c><00:33:30.920><c> is</c><00:33:31.200><c> told</c><00:33:31.559><c> that</c><00:33:31.759><c> he</c><00:33:31.859><c> will</c><00:33:32.039><c> have</c><00:33:32.220><c> a</c><00:33:32.519><c> seed</c><00:33:32.880><c> that</c>

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:34.299
will<00:33:33.460><c> inherit</c><00:33:33.720><c> the</c><00:33:33.940><c> land,</c>

00:33:34.539 --> 00:33:36.839
that<00:33:34.660><c> will</c><00:33:34.920><c> walk</c><00:33:35.279><c> through</c><00:33:35.460><c> it,</c><00:33:35.720><c> all</c><00:33:36.039><c> the</c><00:33:36.400><c> antidotes,</c>

00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:38.779
they're<00:33:37.119><c> all</c><00:33:37.279><c> the</c><00:33:37.480><c> antidotes</c><00:33:37.880><c> of</c><00:33:38.099><c> Eden,</c>

00:33:38.859 --> 00:33:42.660
these<00:33:39.119><c> are</c><00:33:39.359><c> the</c><00:33:39.480><c> very</c><00:33:39.759><c> things</c><00:33:40.180><c> that</c><00:33:41.079><c> Adam</c><00:33:41.440><c> and</c><00:33:41.839><c> his</c><00:33:42.099><c> wife</c><00:33:42.380><c> Eve</c>

00:33:42.660 --> 00:33:45.740
could<00:33:43.039><c> not</c><00:33:43.440><c> do</c><00:33:44.019><c> with</c><00:33:44.759><c> God.</c>

00:33:47.299 --> 00:33:50.440
This<00:33:47.680><c> is</c><00:33:47.900><c> a</c><00:33:48.000><c> reversal</c><00:33:48.599><c> of</c><00:33:48.880><c> the</c><00:33:48.980><c> Edenic</c><00:33:49.380><c> curse.</c>

00:33:53.140 --> 00:33:56.299
And<00:33:53.799><c> Abraham</c><00:33:54.140><c> doesn't</c><00:33:54.559><c> fail</c><00:33:54.940><c> to</c><00:33:55.160><c> notice</c><00:33:55.480><c> that.</c>

00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:59.119
So,<00:33:56.700><c> verse</c><00:33:56.819><c> 18,</c><00:33:58.059><c> then.</c>

00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:04.619
Once<00:34:00.519><c> Abraham</c><00:34:01.039><c> had</c><00:34:01.299><c> listened</c><00:34:01.680><c> to</c><00:34:01.940><c> these</c><00:34:02.180><c> words,</c><00:34:02.819><c> then,</c><00:34:03.460><c> in</c><00:34:03.779><c> response</c><00:34:04.359><c> to</c>

00:34:04.619 --> 00:34:05.579
God's<00:34:05.119><c> message,</c>

00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:09.960
he<00:34:06.059><c> goes</c><00:34:06.339><c> there</c><00:34:06.920><c> and</c><00:34:07.960><c> he</c><00:34:08.380><c> removes</c><00:34:08.679><c> his</c><00:34:08.980><c> tent</c><00:34:09.159><c> and</c><00:34:09.360><c> he</c><00:34:09.599><c> dwells</c>

00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:15.840
The<00:34:12.639><c> meaning</c><00:34:12.920><c> of</c><00:34:13.159><c> the</c><00:34:13.219><c> name</c><00:34:13.480><c> Mamre</c><00:34:14.019><c> is</c><00:34:14.420><c> fatness.</c>

00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:21.559
And<00:34:16.440><c> I</c><00:34:16.599><c> know</c><00:34:16.860><c> we</c><00:34:17.039><c> all</c><00:34:17.360><c> know</c><00:34:17.579><c> the</c><00:34:17.659><c> meaning</c><00:34:17.960><c> of</c><00:34:18.199><c> Hebron,</c><00:34:20.420><c> fellowship.</c>

00:34:22.260 --> 00:34:26.079
Eden,<00:34:23.519><c> it</c><00:34:23.639><c> was</c><00:34:23.820><c> a</c><00:34:23.920><c> land</c><00:34:24.119><c> of</c><00:34:24.360><c> fatness,</c><00:34:24.760><c> of</c><00:34:25.139><c> good</c><00:34:25.500><c> things,</c>

00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:38.079
God,<00:34:36.679><c> speaking</c><00:34:37.039><c> to</c><00:34:37.320><c> Abraham,</c>

00:34:38.579 --> 00:34:46.239
God<00:34:39.179><c> then</c><00:34:39.780><c> moves</c><00:34:40.300><c> Abraham</c><00:34:40.739><c> here</c><00:34:41.739><c> to</c><00:34:42.440><c> dwell</c><00:34:42.860><c> in</c><00:34:43.260><c> Mamre</c><00:34:43.719><c> and</c><00:34:44.380><c> in</c><00:34:45.619><c> Hebron,</c>

00:34:49.300 --> 00:34:52.559
So<00:34:49.460><c> I</c><00:34:49.599><c> feel,</c><00:34:50.019><c> then,</c><00:34:50.199><c> the</c><00:34:50.400><c> closing</c><00:34:50.760><c> verse,</c><00:34:51.079><c> verse</c><00:34:51.360><c> 18,</c><00:34:51.860><c> is</c><00:34:52.159><c> of</c>

00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:02.380
And<00:35:00.760><c> so</c><00:35:00.940><c> then,</c><00:35:01.019><c> when</c><00:35:01.099><c> we</c><00:35:01.280><c> come</c><00:35:01.420><c> to</c><00:35:01.539><c> chapter</c><00:35:01.780><c> 14,</c>

they're<00:35:05.719><c> all</c><00:35:05.960><c> known</c><00:35:06.199><c> by</c><00:35:06.420><c> Abraham.</c>

00:35:08.219 --> 00:35:09.500
So<00:35:08.360><c> then,</c><00:35:08.500><c> when</c><00:35:08.579><c> we</c><00:35:08.659><c> come</c><00:35:08.800><c> to</c><00:35:08.860><c> chapter</c><00:35:09.079><c> 14,</c>

00:35:09.539 --> 00:35:12.900
there's<00:35:09.840><c> a</c><00:35:10.000><c> powerful</c><00:35:10.579><c> coalition</c><00:35:11.139><c> between</c><00:35:11.539><c> the</c><00:35:11.760><c> four</c><00:35:12.039><c> eastern</c><00:35:12.519><c> kings,</c>

00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:18.579
And<00:35:16.119><c> it's</c><00:35:16.320><c> a</c><00:35:16.500><c> great</c><00:35:16.699><c> scene</c><00:35:16.920><c> of</c><00:35:17.179><c> faith,</c><00:35:17.400><c> isn't</c><00:35:17.519><c> it?</c>

00:35:20.059 --> 00:35:24.440
The<00:35:20.320><c> kings</c><00:35:20.679><c> there,</c><00:35:21.519><c> they</c><00:35:21.519><c> steal</c><00:35:22.039><c> the</c><00:35:23.280><c> booty,</c><00:35:23.800><c> the</c><00:35:24.000><c> wealth</c><00:35:24.239><c> of</c>

00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:31.320
And<00:35:28.780><c> so</c><00:35:29.079><c> then,</c><00:35:29.800><c> Abraham</c><00:35:30.139><c> summons</c><00:35:30.639><c> his</c><00:35:30.960><c> faith</c>

00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:33.659
and<00:35:31.679><c> he</c><00:35:31.860><c> gathers</c><00:35:32.019><c> to</c><00:35:32.179><c> himself</c><00:35:32.519><c> 318</c><00:35:33.380><c> men</c>

00:35:33.659 --> 00:35:36.800
and<00:35:33.739><c> then</c><00:35:33.820><c> he</c><00:35:33.880><c> goes</c><00:35:34.219><c> out</c><00:35:34.619><c> to</c><00:35:34.840><c> retrieve</c><00:35:35.500><c> the</c><00:35:35.760><c> booty</c><00:35:36.039><c> and</c><00:35:36.599><c> to</c>

retrieve<00:35:37.260><c> lot.</c>

00:35:37.619 --> 00:35:40.579
It<00:35:37.619><c> was</c><00:35:37.880><c> a</c><00:35:38.360><c> wonderful</c><00:35:38.840><c> act</c><00:35:39.099><c> of</c><00:35:39.400><c> faith.</c>

00:35:41.099 --> 00:35:47.420
318<00:35:41.639><c> men</c><00:35:42.179><c> against</c><00:35:43.360><c> these</c><00:35:43.739><c> four</c><00:35:44.460><c> northern</c><00:35:45.340><c> great</c><00:35:45.980><c> kings.</c>

00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:52.360
Now,<00:35:50.219><c> as</c><00:35:50.340><c> we</c><00:35:50.500><c> build</c><00:35:50.639><c> up</c><00:35:50.820><c> to</c><00:35:50.920><c> chapter</c><00:35:51.159><c> 14,</c>

00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:55.840
we're<00:35:52.900><c> going</c><00:35:52.980><c> to</c><00:35:53.280><c> see</c><00:35:54.000><c> Eden</c><00:35:54.480><c> Watermark,</c>

00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:58.099
the<00:35:56.539><c> way</c><00:35:56.659><c> that</c><00:35:56.860><c> Abraham</c><00:35:57.139><c> is</c><00:35:57.340><c> now</c><00:35:57.699><c> thinking.</c>

00:35:58.400 --> 00:35:59.780
And<00:35:58.500><c> he</c><00:35:58.539><c> had</c><00:35:58.699><c> to</c><00:35:58.840><c> be</c><00:35:59.179><c> thinking</c><00:35:59.380><c> in</c><00:35:59.539><c> this</c><00:35:59.639><c> way.</c>

00:35:59.780 --> 00:36:02.500
God<00:36:00.179><c> wanted</c><00:36:00.619><c> him</c><00:36:00.840><c> to</c><00:36:00.920><c> be</c><00:36:01.280><c> thinking</c><00:36:01.619><c> in</c><00:36:02.039><c> this</c><00:36:02.280><c> way</c>

00:36:02.500 --> 00:36:06.260
before<00:36:02.860><c> he</c><00:36:03.159><c> meets</c><00:36:03.559><c> Melchizedek.</c>

00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:09.300
So<00:36:06.420><c> the</c><00:36:06.559><c> first</c><00:36:06.780><c> little</c><00:36:07.000><c> clue</c><00:36:07.179><c> here,</c><00:36:08.199><c> notice,</c>

00:36:09.380 --> 00:36:15.780
in<00:36:09.460><c> verse</c><00:36:10.159><c> 12,</c><00:36:12.500><c> Lot</c><00:36:12.500><c> is</c><00:36:12.880><c> described</c><00:36:13.500><c> as</c><00:36:14.079><c> Abraham's</c><00:36:15.099><c> brother's</c><00:36:15.699><c> son.</c>

00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:16.940
Now<00:36:15.960><c> we</c><00:36:16.000><c> know</c><00:36:16.179><c> that,</c><00:36:16.420><c> don't</c><00:36:16.519><c> we?</c>

00:36:17.179 --> 00:36:18.579
So<00:36:17.380><c> who</c><00:36:17.539><c> was</c><00:36:17.699><c> Lot?</c>

00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:21.159
He<00:36:19.099><c> was</c><00:36:19.320><c> the</c><00:36:19.579><c> nephew</c><00:36:19.940><c> of</c><00:36:20.179><c> Abraham.</c>

00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:26.639
But<00:36:24.039><c> how</c><00:36:24.239><c> is</c><00:36:24.300><c> he</c><00:36:24.619><c> described</c><00:36:24.940><c> in</c><00:36:25.099><c> verse</c><00:36:25.340><c> 14?</c>

00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:31.059
When<00:36:28.000><c> Abraham</c><00:36:28.679><c> summons</c><00:36:29.460><c> his</c><00:36:29.780><c> 318</c><00:36:30.719><c> men</c>

00:36:31.059 --> 00:36:33.619
and<00:36:31.239><c> he</c><00:36:31.380><c> goes</c><00:36:31.599><c> up</c><00:36:31.880><c> north</c><00:36:32.159><c> to</c><00:36:32.400><c> retrieve</c><00:36:32.820><c> Lot,</c>

00:36:35.139 --> 00:36:39.099
And<00:36:35.159><c> when</c><00:36:35.460><c> Abraham</c><00:36:35.980><c> heard</c><00:36:36.599><c> that</c><00:36:37.119><c> his</c><00:36:37.400><c> brother</c><00:36:37.800><c> was</c><00:36:38.159><c> taken</c><00:36:38.599><c> captive,</c>

00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:41.400

00:36:45.380 --> 00:36:46.059
Isn't<00:36:45.559><c> that</c><00:36:45.599><c> interesting?</c>

00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:50.320
He's<00:36:46.500><c> described</c><00:36:46.880><c> as</c><00:36:47.739><c> his</c><00:36:49.119><c> brother.</c>

00:36:50.340 --> 00:36:55.079
Why<00:36:50.920><c> am</c><00:36:52.340><c> I</c><00:36:52.760><c> my</c><00:36:53.159><c> brother's</c><00:36:54.139><c> keeper?</c>

00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:02.039
And<00:36:59.659><c> he</c><00:36:59.920><c> was,</c><00:37:00.559><c> in</c><00:37:00.760><c> a</c><00:37:00.940><c> flash,</c><00:37:01.320><c> brothers</c><00:37:01.400><c> and</c><00:37:01.659><c> sisters.</c>

In<00:37:04.360><c> a</c><00:37:04.539><c> great</c><00:37:04.719><c> scene</c><00:37:04.920><c> of</c><00:37:05.159><c> faith,</c><00:37:05.860><c> he</c><00:37:06.039><c> summons</c><00:37:06.260><c> the</c><00:37:06.480><c> men.</c>

00:37:07.059 --> 00:37:10.860
Off<00:37:07.260><c> he</c><00:37:07.420><c> goes</c><00:37:08.019><c> to</c><00:37:08.539><c> get</c><00:37:09.239><c> his</c><00:37:10.380><c> brother</c>

00:37:10.860 --> 00:37:13.940
because<00:37:11.320><c> he's</c><00:37:11.579><c> already</c><00:37:11.960><c> invoked</c><00:37:12.420><c> Yahweh</c><00:37:12.880><c> in</c><00:37:13.059><c> the</c><00:37:13.280><c> name</c><00:37:13.500><c> of</c><00:37:13.760><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:16.820
This<00:37:14.239><c> is</c><00:37:14.420><c> a</c><00:37:14.519><c> brother</c><00:37:14.679><c> in</c><00:37:14.940><c> Christ,</c><00:37:15.260><c> brothers</c><00:37:15.539><c> and</c><00:37:15.820><c> sisters.</c>

00:37:18.260 --> 00:37:21.360
What<00:37:18.559><c> a</c><00:37:18.719><c> beautiful</c><00:37:19.079><c> scene</c><00:37:19.320><c> we</c><00:37:19.480><c> have</c><00:37:19.599><c> before</c><00:37:19.920><c> us.</c>

00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:26.400
You'd<00:37:24.159><c> think</c><00:37:24.280><c> at</c><00:37:24.440><c> this</c><00:37:24.659><c> stage</c><00:37:24.900><c> Abraham's</c><00:37:25.380><c> got</c><00:37:25.639><c> nothing</c><00:37:26.059><c> to</c><00:37:26.300><c> learn.</c>

00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:30.440
He's<00:37:26.900><c> got</c><00:37:27.000><c> to</c><00:37:27.159><c> learn</c><00:37:27.300><c> something</c><00:37:27.719><c> of</c><00:37:28.199><c> such</c><00:37:28.440><c> import</c><00:37:28.840><c> from</c><00:37:29.079><c> Melchizedek.</c>

00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:33.079
But<00:37:31.579><c> he's</c><00:37:31.760><c> getting</c><00:37:31.980><c> there.</c>

00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:36.079
He's<00:37:34.099><c> developing</c><00:37:34.519><c> the</c><00:37:34.780><c> mind</c><00:37:34.980><c> of</c><00:37:35.260><c> God.</c>

00:37:38.219 --> 00:37:41.800
And<00:37:38.440><c> so</c><00:37:38.639><c> then,</c><00:37:39.559><c> Abraham</c><00:37:40.019><c> rescues</c><00:37:41.500><c> Lot.</c>

00:37:41.940 --> 00:37:44.460
He<00:37:42.179><c> secures</c><00:37:42.739><c> a</c><00:37:43.179><c> huge</c><00:37:43.519><c> spoil.</c>

00:41:11.900 --> 00:41:13.239
How<00:41:12.099><c> lovely</c><00:41:12.239><c> to</c><00:41:12.360><c> think</c><00:41:12.519><c> about</c><00:41:12.820><c> Daniel</c>

00:41:18.460 --> 00:41:19.539
But<00:41:18.579><c> brothers</c><00:41:18.739><c> and</c><00:41:18.980><c> sisters,</c>

what<00:41:20.019><c> do</c><00:41:20.119><c> you</c><00:41:20.139><c> think</c><00:41:20.320><c> about</c><00:41:20.539><c> this</c><00:41:20.900><c> meal?</c>

00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:26.940
This<00:41:23.420><c> meal,</c><00:41:24.239><c> which</c><00:41:24.480><c> is</c><00:41:25.099><c> bread</c><00:41:25.599><c> and</c><00:41:26.480><c> wine.</c>

I'm<00:41:27.360><c> going</c><00:41:27.420><c> to</c><00:41:27.480><c> make</c><00:41:27.739><c> a</c><00:41:27.940><c> suggestion</c><00:41:28.320><c> to</c><00:41:28.639><c> you.</c>

00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:32.019
I<00:41:29.280><c> will</c><00:41:29.480><c> suggest</c><00:41:29.900><c> that</c><00:41:30.179><c> this</c><00:41:30.599><c> is</c>

00:41:32.019 --> 00:41:36.900

00:41:39.860 --> 00:41:42.000
Now<00:41:40.460><c> we</c><00:41:40.559><c> can</c><00:41:40.780><c> connect</c><00:41:41.000><c> this</c><00:41:41.239><c> idea</c><00:41:41.519><c> immediately.</c>

00:41:42.099 --> 00:41:43.460
Think<00:41:42.300><c> about</c><00:41:42.519><c> the</c><00:41:42.619><c> Lord</c><00:41:42.860><c> Jesus</c><00:41:43.179><c> Christ</c>

And<00:41:44.980><c> he</c><00:41:45.079><c> said</c><00:41:45.219><c> to</c><00:41:45.400><c> his</c><00:41:45.599><c> disciples,</c>

with<00:41:48.320><c> desire,</c>

00:41:49.820 --> 00:41:54.760
I<00:41:50.119><c> desire</c><00:41:50.820><c> to</c><00:41:52.059><c> drink</c><00:41:52.579><c> this</c><00:41:53.179><c> cup</c><00:41:53.480><c> with</c><00:41:53.820><c> you.</c>

00:41:55.340 --> 00:41:57.320
And<00:41:55.659><c> he</c><00:41:55.820><c> tells</c><00:41:56.019><c> them</c><00:41:56.219><c> that</c><00:41:56.340><c> it</c><00:41:56.480><c> wouldn't</c><00:41:56.719><c> take</c><00:41:57.019><c> place</c>

00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:00.480
until<00:41:57.980><c> the</c><00:41:58.619><c> establishment</c><00:41:59.179><c> of</c><00:41:59.500><c> the</c><00:41:59.639><c> Kingdom</c><00:41:59.900><c> of</c><00:42:00.099><c> God.</c>

00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:03.059
So<00:42:01.639><c> here</c><00:42:02.039><c> then</c><00:42:02.300><c> in</c><00:42:02.400><c> the</c><00:42:02.579><c> last</c><00:42:02.780><c> supper,</c>

00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:08.920
Now<00:42:07.079><c> when</c><00:42:07.219><c> he</c><00:42:07.559><c> spoke</c><00:42:07.880><c> to</c><00:42:08.019><c> his</c><00:42:08.280><c> disciples,</c>

00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:11.960
as<00:42:09.440><c> they</c><00:42:09.719><c> assembled</c><00:42:10.119><c> together</c><00:42:10.500><c> in</c><00:42:10.739><c> the</c><00:42:10.860><c> upper</c><00:42:11.099><c> room,</c>

00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:19.219
No,<00:42:16.380><c> it</c><00:42:16.380><c> was</c><00:42:16.480><c> later</c><00:42:16.659><c> that</c><00:42:16.880><c> day,</c><00:42:17.159><c> wasn't</c><00:42:17.380><c> it?</c>

00:42:20.059 --> 00:42:22.800
When<00:42:20.420><c> Jesus</c><00:42:20.880><c> would</c><00:42:21.179><c> die</c><00:42:21.380><c> upon</c><00:42:21.619><c> a</c><00:42:21.900><c> train.</c>

00:42:56.719 --> 00:43:01.800
Just<00:42:57.119><c> as</c><00:42:57.320><c> Jesus</c><00:42:57.699><c> Christ</c><00:42:58.000><c> offered</c><00:42:58.519><c> bread</c><00:42:59.280><c> and</c><00:43:00.559><c> wine.</c>

00:43:04.059 --> 00:43:06.800
It<00:43:04.179><c> is</c><00:43:04.460><c> a</c><00:43:04.639><c> covenant</c><00:43:04.940><c>-making</c><00:43:05.739><c> meal.</c>

00:43:07.420 --> 00:43:09.360

00:43:09.420 --> 00:43:11.619
We're<00:43:09.539><c> going</c><00:43:09.619><c> to</c><00:43:09.679><c> come</c><00:43:09.860><c> across</c><00:43:10.119><c> this</c><00:43:10.320><c> in</c><00:43:10.460><c> a</c><00:43:10.599><c> moment.</c>

00:43:12.260 --> 00:43:16.559
But<00:43:12.360><c> it's</c><00:43:12.539><c> in</c><00:43:12.619><c> that</c><00:43:12.880><c> same</c><00:43:13.219><c> day,</c><00:43:15.019><c> there</c><00:43:15.300><c> we</c><00:43:15.519><c> read,</c>

a<00:43:18.500><c> covenant</c><00:43:18.900><c> was</c><00:43:19.139><c> made</c><00:43:19.380><c> with</c><00:43:19.639><c> Abraham.</c>

00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:25.800
And<00:43:22.639><c> it's</c><00:43:23.239><c> the</c><00:43:23.440><c> cutting</c><00:43:23.920><c> of</c><00:43:24.440><c> pieces.</c>

00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:29.460

00:43:31.300 --> 00:43:34.119
What<00:43:31.519><c> would</c><00:43:31.840><c> Jesus</c><00:43:32.340><c> symbolize</c><00:43:33.119><c> upon</c><00:43:33.519><c> the</c><00:43:33.840><c> tree?</c>

00:43:36.659 --> 00:43:38.280
We'll<00:43:36.800><c> look</c><00:43:36.920><c> at</c><00:43:36.980><c> that</c><00:43:37.119><c> in</c><00:43:37.199><c> a</c><00:43:37.320><c> moment.</c>

00:43:38.460 --> 00:43:40.219
But<00:43:38.579><c> it</c><00:43:38.639><c> was</c><00:43:38.800><c> a</c><00:43:38.960><c> precursor.</c>

00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:43.460
There's<00:43:40.659><c> a</c><00:43:40.860><c> meal</c><00:43:41.360><c> and</c><00:43:42.639><c> there's</c><00:43:43.000><c> a</c><00:43:43.199><c> covenant.</c>

00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:45.599
And<00:43:43.699><c> this</c><00:43:43.920><c> is</c><00:43:44.139><c> a</c><00:43:44.239><c> very</c><00:43:44.739><c> special</c><00:43:45.179><c> covenant.</c>

00:43:45.900 --> 00:43:48.119
It's<00:43:46.139><c> a</c><00:43:46.320><c> covenant</c><00:43:46.500><c> that</c><00:43:46.880><c> God</c><00:43:47.159><c> makes</c><00:43:47.460><c> with</c><00:43:47.699><c> Abraham.</c>

00:43:48.119 --> 00:43:50.900
And<00:43:48.539><c> we'll</c><00:43:48.679><c> look</c><00:43:48.860><c> at</c><00:43:48.960><c> that</c><00:43:49.519><c> in</c><00:43:49.679><c> a</c><00:43:49.860><c> moment.</c>

00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:45.920
Yet<00:44:40.559><c> this</c><00:44:41.440><c> was</c><00:44:41.760><c> not</c><00:44:42.400><c> a</c><00:44:43.000><c> fiery</c><00:44:43.679><c> cherubimic</c><00:44:44.699><c> priest,</c><00:44:45.219><c> was</c><00:44:45.400><c> it,</c>

00:44:57.059 --> 00:45:01.340
This<00:44:57.940><c> was</c><00:44:58.539><c> a</c><00:44:58.800><c> high</c><00:44:59.099><c> priest,</c><00:44:59.820><c> yes,</c>

00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:11.679
He<00:45:09.739><c> stood</c><00:45:09.980><c> as</c><00:45:10.239><c> a</c><00:45:10.480><c> cherubim,</c>

00:45:12.019 --> 00:45:14.679

00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:19.139
He<00:45:16.559><c> was</c><00:45:17.239><c> a</c><00:45:17.420><c> king</c><00:45:17.659><c> and</c><00:45:17.800><c> a</c><00:45:18.079><c> priest.</c>

00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:21.780
So<00:45:20.619><c> then,</c><00:45:21.179><c> brothers</c><00:45:21.239><c> and</c><00:45:21.480><c> sisters,</c>

00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:27.260

Abraham<00:45:27.780><c> is</c><00:45:28.280><c> greeted</c><00:45:28.800><c> by</c><00:45:29.559><c> the</c><00:45:29.780><c> king.</c>

00:45:30.940 --> 00:45:32.360
And<00:45:31.199><c> we've</c><00:45:31.360><c> already</c><00:45:31.500><c> read</c><00:45:31.840><c> those</c><00:45:32.099><c> verses,</c>

What's<00:49:44.519><c> so</c><00:49:44.699><c> important</c><00:49:44.860><c> about</c><00:49:45.099><c> that,</c><00:49:45.400><c> brothers</c><00:49:45.460><c> and</c><00:49:45.699><c> sisters?</c>

00:49:47.659 --> 00:49:49.639
Well,<00:49:48.420><c> as</c><00:49:48.559><c> I've</c><00:49:48.739><c> already</c><00:49:49.000><c> suggested,</c>

00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:51.420
Melchizedek<00:49:50.619><c> is</c><00:49:50.940><c> instrumental.</c>

00:49:51.500 --> 00:49:53.039
He's<00:49:51.820><c> almost</c><00:49:52.119><c> like</c><00:49:52.460><c> the</c><00:49:52.739><c> fulcrum.</c>

00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:55.500
He's<00:49:53.480><c> the</c><00:49:53.739><c> pivot,</c><00:49:54.400><c> not</c><00:49:54.599><c> only</c><00:49:54.820><c> in</c><00:49:55.019><c> Abraham's</c><00:49:55.400><c> life,</c>

00:49:55.539 --> 00:49:58.059
I<00:49:55.780><c> would</c><00:49:55.960><c> suggest</c><00:49:56.219><c> in</c><00:49:56.400><c> the</c><00:49:56.619><c> whole</c><00:49:56.860><c> of</c><00:49:57.159><c> scripture.</c>

How<00:49:59.699><c> can</c><00:49:59.800><c> I</c><00:49:59.860><c> be</c><00:50:00.000><c> so</c><00:50:00.179><c> dramatic?</c>

00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:04.199
Genesis<00:50:02.820><c> 13,</c><00:50:03.400><c> verse</c><00:50:03.500><c> 16.</c>

00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:10.940
Your<00:50:06.800><c> seed,</c><00:50:07.880><c> Abraham,</c><00:50:08.280><c> is</c><00:50:08.500><c> going</c><00:50:08.659><c> to</c><00:50:08.880><c> be</c><00:50:09.420><c> as</c><00:50:09.699><c> the</c><00:50:09.800><c> dust</c><00:50:09.900><c> of</c><00:50:10.079><c> the</c><00:50:10.199><c> earth.</c>

00:50:18.519 --> 00:50:21.559
Dying<00:50:19.019><c> thou</c><00:50:19.519><c> shalt</c><00:50:20.320><c> die.</c>

00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:23.280
You're<00:50:22.099><c> going</c><00:50:22.139><c> to</c><00:50:22.159><c> have</c><00:50:22.320><c> a</c><00:50:22.519><c> seed,</c>

00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:29.519
Melchizedek<00:50:28.659><c> comes</c><00:50:29.000><c> along</c>

00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:31.980
as<00:50:30.079><c> a</c><00:50:30.159><c> man</c><00:50:30.300><c> who's</c><00:50:30.460><c> going</c><00:50:30.619><c> to</c><00:50:30.699><c> unlock</c><00:50:31.059><c> Eden.</c>

How<00:50:36.900><c> are</c><00:50:37.000><c> they</c><00:50:37.159><c> described?</c>

00:50:39.340 --> 00:50:42.840

00:50:43.139 --> 00:50:44.980
Imagine<00:50:43.360><c> that,</c><00:50:44.019><c> a</c><00:50:44.199><c> childless</c><00:50:44.579><c> man</c>

00:50:44.980 --> 00:50:47.820

00:50:50.780 --> 00:50:52.360
You<00:50:51.019><c> imagine</c><00:50:51.320><c> that.</c>

00:50:52.539 --> 00:50:55.300
The<00:50:52.840><c> gripping</c><00:50:53.380><c> experience</c><00:50:54.239><c> of</c><00:50:54.440><c> Abraham.</c>

00:51:03.320 --> 00:51:06.260
They're<00:51:04.079><c> going</c><00:51:04.139><c> to</c><00:51:04.280><c> be</c><00:51:04.599><c> raised.</c>

00:51:07.579 --> 00:51:10.860
Raised<00:51:08.340><c> to</c><00:51:08.880><c> immortality.</c>

00:51:11.380 --> 00:51:15.119
Exhibiting<00:51:12.059><c> the</c><00:51:12.440><c> glory</c><00:51:12.960><c> of</c><00:51:13.199><c> God</c><00:51:13.539><c> in</c><00:51:13.760><c> the</c><00:51:13.960><c> heavens.</c>

00:51:28.340 --> 00:51:29.239
It<00:51:28.519><c> requires</c><00:51:28.679><c> the</c><00:51:28.860><c> resurrection.</c>

00:51:29.519 --> 00:51:30.800

The<00:53:42.059><c> first</c><00:53:42.219><c> time</c><00:53:42.320><c> we</c><00:53:42.460><c> come</c><00:53:42.619><c> across</c><00:53:42.880><c> the</c><00:53:43.039><c> word</c><00:53:43.179><c> believed,</c>

00:54:03.239 --> 00:54:08.000
God<00:54:03.480><c> had</c><00:54:03.940><c> spoken</c><00:54:04.280><c> to</c><00:54:04.519><c> him</c><00:54:05.179><c> and</c><00:54:05.800><c> he</c><00:54:05.980><c> will</c><00:54:06.179><c> listen</c><00:54:06.619><c> and</c><00:54:07.000><c> obey.</c>

00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:18.460
And<00:54:15.400><c> now</c><00:54:15.679><c> God</c><00:54:15.920><c> is</c><00:54:16.119><c> no</c><00:54:16.380><c> longer</c><00:54:16.599><c> his</c><00:54:16.920><c> Lord</c><00:54:17.179><c> and</c><00:54:17.440><c> Master,</c><00:54:18.280><c> he's</c>

00:56:07.360 --> 00:56:08.659
And<00:56:07.480><c> it</c><00:56:07.539><c> makes</c><00:56:07.739><c> sense,</c><00:56:08.139><c> doesn't</c><00:56:08.300><c> it,</c>

00:56:43.920 --> 00:56:46.460
And<00:56:44.119><c> God</c><00:56:44.300><c> is</c><00:56:44.639><c> so</c><00:56:44.960><c> moved,</c><00:56:45.340><c> I</c><00:56:45.539><c> would</c><00:56:45.719><c> suggest,</c>
