00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:26.519

00:02:37.259 --> 00:02:41.680

00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:35.939
We'll<00:03:34.360><c> look</c><00:03:34.460><c> at</c><00:03:34.560><c> that</c><00:03:34.719><c> in</c><00:03:34.860><c> a</c><00:03:34.960><c> moment.</c>

00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:40.740
Then<00:03:36.659><c> the</c><00:03:36.819><c> letters</c><00:03:37.159><c> themselves,</c><00:03:39.039><c> each</c><00:03:39.419><c> letter</c><00:03:39.740><c> ends</c><00:03:40.120><c> with</c><00:03:40.419><c> a</c>

00:03:40.740 --> 00:03:44.680

00:03:49.180 --> 00:03:55.520

Now<00:04:05.360><c> once</c><00:04:05.620><c> we</c><00:04:05.939><c> see</c><00:04:06.139><c> that</c><00:04:06.479><c> working</c><00:04:06.840><c> in</c><00:04:07.219><c> practice,</c><00:04:08.319><c> we'll</c><00:04:08.680><c> recognize</c><00:04:09.219><c> that</c>

00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:10.719

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.379
They're<00:04:15.860><c> so</c><00:04:16.060><c> important</c><00:04:16.779><c> that</c><00:04:17.180><c> they're</c><00:04:17.699><c> bound</c><00:04:18.019><c> into</c><00:04:18.399><c> the</c><00:04:18.620><c> whole</c><00:04:18.819><c> message</c><00:04:19.199><c> of</c>

00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.360

Being<00:05:22.579><c> turned,</c><00:05:23.139><c> I</c><00:05:23.339><c> saw</c><00:05:23.819><c> seven</c><00:05:24.300><c> golden</c><00:05:24.759><c> candlesticks,</c><00:05:26.120><c> and</c><00:05:26.319><c> in</c>

the<00:05:26.620><c> midst</c><00:05:26.839><c> of</c><00:05:27.000><c> the</c><00:05:27.160><c> seven</c><00:05:27.420><c> candlesticks,</c>

00:05:28.660 --> 00:05:33.259

00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:42.319
So<00:05:35.920><c> there</c><00:05:36.139><c> are</c><00:05:36.279><c> the</c><00:05:36.500><c> elements</c><00:05:37.139><c> taken</c><00:05:37.980><c> out</c><00:05:38.259><c> of</c><00:05:38.920><c> the</c><00:05:39.079><c> vision,</c><00:05:40.779><c> and</c><00:05:40.899><c> they</c><00:05:41.180><c> appear</c><00:05:41.819><c> in</c>

00:05:45.740 --> 00:05:48.199

was<00:05:51.040><c> alive,</c><00:05:51.579><c> that's</c><00:05:51.980><c> picking</c><00:05:52.160><c> up</c><00:05:52.420><c> information</c><00:05:52.860><c> from</c><00:05:53.079><c> verse</c>

00:05:55.980 --> 00:05:58.579
Or<00:05:56.180><c> the</c><00:05:56.339><c> introduction</c><00:05:56.620><c> to</c><00:05:56.860><c> Pergamus,</c><00:05:57.360><c> he</c><00:05:57.459><c> which</c><00:05:57.680><c> hath</c><00:05:57.860><c> the</c>

00:06:01.810 --> 00:06:04.829
there<00:06:02.110><c> in</c><00:06:02.290><c> verse</c><00:06:02.589><c> sixteen</c><00:06:03.209><c> of</c><00:06:03.410><c> Revelation</c><00:06:03.910><c> chapter</c><00:06:04.269><c> one,</c><00:06:04.610><c> out</c>

00:06:04.829 --> 00:06:07.209

00:06:07.209 --> 00:06:07.649
sword.

00:06:08.009 --> 00:06:11.430
And<00:06:08.209><c> so</c><00:06:08.290><c> we</c><00:06:08.370><c> can</c><00:06:08.610><c> relate</c><00:06:08.910><c> each</c><00:06:09.209><c> of</c><00:06:09.290><c> those</c><00:06:09.470><c> pieces</c><00:06:09.769><c> of</c><00:06:09.949><c> information</c><00:06:10.529><c> back</c><00:06:11.290><c> to</c>

the<00:06:11.649><c> introductory</c><00:06:12.110><c> vision.</c>

00:06:13.589 --> 00:06:17.209
So<00:06:13.790><c> we've</c><00:06:14.810><c> cemented</c><00:06:15.470><c> that</c><00:06:15.810><c> first</c><00:06:16.250><c> link.</c>

00:06:18.290 --> 00:06:21.509
The<00:06:18.550><c> information</c><00:06:18.930><c> in</c><00:06:19.410><c> the</c><00:06:19.629><c> introductory</c><00:06:20.069><c> vision</c><00:06:20.509><c> is</c><00:06:20.949><c> there</c>

00:06:21.509 --> 00:06:24.730
at<00:06:21.870><c> the</c><00:06:22.310><c> start</c><00:06:22.810><c> of</c><00:06:23.149><c> each</c><00:06:23.490><c> of</c><00:06:23.629><c> the</c><00:06:23.790><c> letters.</c>

00:06:24.970 --> 00:06:29.449
The<00:06:25.490><c> one</c><00:06:25.790><c> who</c><00:06:26.029><c> is</c><00:06:26.310><c> speaking</c><00:06:26.730><c> in</c><00:06:27.050><c> the</c><00:06:27.209><c> letters</c><00:06:27.649><c> is</c><00:06:28.649><c> the</c><00:06:28.910><c> one</c><00:06:29.290><c> who</c>

00:06:29.449 --> 00:06:30.910
was<00:06:29.769><c> seen</c><00:06:30.230><c> in</c><00:06:30.589><c> vision.</c>

00:06:31.389 --> 00:06:34.089
And<00:06:31.610><c> remember</c><00:06:31.850><c> that</c><00:06:32.009><c> the</c><00:06:32.129><c> one</c><00:06:32.290><c> who</c><00:06:32.370><c> is</c><00:06:32.589><c> seen</c><00:06:32.730><c> in</c><00:06:32.990><c> vision</c><00:06:33.449><c> is</c>

00:06:34.089 --> 00:06:36.610
the<00:06:34.290><c> Lord</c><00:06:34.550><c> Jesus</c><00:06:34.949><c> Christ,</c><00:06:35.629><c> united</c><00:06:36.009><c> with</c><00:06:36.290><c> his</c>

00:06:36.610 --> 00:06:37.610
sense.

00:06:38.009 --> 00:06:40.689
What<00:06:38.250><c> we</c><00:06:38.569><c> use,</c><00:06:38.750><c> and</c><00:06:38.829><c> this</c><00:06:39.050><c> is</c><00:06:39.189><c> Christadelphian</c><00:06:39.829><c> jargon,</c><00:06:40.509><c> what</c>

00:06:40.689 --> 00:06:43.529
we<00:06:40.949><c> call</c><00:06:41.129><c> the</c><00:06:41.430><c> multitudinous</c><00:06:42.329><c> Christ.</c>

00:06:43.910 --> 00:06:47.029
We're<00:06:44.430><c> familiar</c><00:06:44.810><c> with</c><00:06:45.009><c> the</c><00:06:45.170><c> language,</c><00:06:45.490><c> we</c><00:06:45.610><c> know</c><00:06:45.730><c> what</c><00:06:45.949><c> it</c><00:06:46.149><c> means.</c>

00:06:49.670 --> 00:06:52.430
So<00:06:49.910><c> we</c><00:06:50.029><c> can't</c><00:06:50.370><c> separate</c><00:06:50.689><c> the</c><00:06:50.930><c> letters</c><00:06:51.290><c> from</c><00:06:51.689><c> the</c><00:06:51.910><c> introduction.</c>

00:06:52.430 --> 00:06:55.930
That<00:06:52.970><c> link</c><00:06:54.329><c> is</c><00:06:54.730><c> forged.</c>

00:06:57.370 --> 00:07:00.370
Then<00:06:57.550><c> when</c><00:06:57.689><c> we</c><00:06:57.889><c> move</c><00:06:58.069><c> into</c><00:06:58.370><c> the</c><00:06:58.569><c> letters</c><00:06:58.889><c> themselves,</c><00:06:59.750><c> we</c><00:06:59.810><c> find</c><00:07:00.050><c> that</c><00:07:00.230><c> the</c>

00:07:03.610 --> 00:07:04.110
aspects.

00:07:04.230 --> 00:07:06.930
Let's<00:07:04.490><c> just</c><00:07:04.610><c> look</c><00:07:04.750><c> at</c><00:07:04.850><c> it</c><00:07:05.009><c> in</c><00:07:05.129><c> relation</c><00:07:05.649><c> to...</c>

00:07:15.189 --> 00:07:17.189
There's<00:07:15.689><c> the</c><00:07:15.810><c> first</c><00:07:16.050><c> part</c><00:07:16.290><c> that</c><00:07:16.470><c> we've</c><00:07:16.730><c> seen.</c>

00:07:17.189 --> 00:07:20.889
The<00:07:17.730><c> vision</c><00:07:17.970><c> in</c><00:07:18.110><c> chapter</c><00:07:18.529><c> one</c><00:07:19.329><c> carries</c><00:07:19.769><c> itself</c><00:07:20.230><c> through</c><00:07:20.610><c> into</c>

00:07:20.889 --> 00:07:23.649
the<00:07:21.149><c> beginning</c><00:07:21.550><c> of</c><00:07:23.069><c> the</c><00:07:23.250><c> letter,</c>

00:07:26.910 --> 00:07:28.970
Then<00:07:27.110><c> the</c><00:07:27.329><c> letter</c><00:07:27.509><c> concludes</c><00:07:28.149><c> with</c><00:07:28.370><c> a</c><00:07:28.670><c> promise.</c>

00:07:29.149 --> 00:07:31.910

00:07:40.529 --> 00:07:44.629

But<00:10:33.049><c> then</c><00:10:33.389><c> in</c><00:10:33.629><c> verse</c><00:10:33.850><c> four</c><00:10:34.169><c> there's</c><00:10:34.409><c> a</c><00:10:34.610><c> warning.</c>

00:10:36.269 --> 00:10:39.070
So<00:10:36.389><c> this</c><00:10:36.509><c> is</c><00:10:36.730><c> the</c><00:10:36.889><c> third</c><00:10:37.190><c> stage</c><00:10:37.710><c> of</c><00:10:38.110><c> the</c><00:10:38.269><c> letter.</c>

00:10:39.190 --> 00:10:43.049
We've<00:10:39.429><c> had</c><00:10:39.549><c> the</c><00:10:40.330><c> introduction,</c><00:10:41.929><c> the</c><00:10:42.029><c> one</c><00:10:42.210><c> who</c><00:10:42.409><c> is</c><00:10:42.590><c> speaking.</c>

00:10:43.429 --> 00:10:47.009
We've<00:10:43.629><c> had</c><00:10:43.730><c> the</c><00:10:44.090><c> assessment,</c><00:10:45.350><c> verses</c><00:10:45.789><c> two</c><00:10:46.250><c> and</c><00:10:46.350><c> three.</c>

00:10:47.269 --> 00:10:49.669
Now<00:10:47.509><c> we</c><00:10:47.649><c> have</c><00:10:47.809><c> the</c><00:10:48.110><c> warning</c><00:10:48.549><c> in</c><00:10:48.909><c> verse</c><00:10:49.230><c> four.</c>

00:10:49.769 --> 00:10:52.629
Nevertheless,<00:10:51.149><c> I</c><00:10:51.169><c> have</c><00:10:51.509><c> somewhat</c><00:10:51.769><c> against</c><00:10:52.210><c> thee,</c><00:10:52.409><c> because</c>

00:10:52.629 --> 00:10:55.710
thou<00:10:52.850><c> hast</c><00:10:53.090><c> left</c><00:10:53.649><c> thy</c><00:10:54.129><c> first</c><00:10:54.710><c> love.</c>

00:10:56.730 --> 00:10:59.110
So<00:10:57.009><c> the</c><00:10:57.289><c> assessment</c><00:10:57.629><c> said,</c><00:10:57.870><c> yes,</c><00:10:58.309><c> the</c><00:10:58.470><c> things</c><00:10:58.809><c> that</c><00:10:58.970><c> you're</c>

00:10:59.110 --> 00:11:00.730
doing<00:10:59.370><c> are</c><00:10:59.690><c> right.</c>

00:11:00.909 --> 00:11:04.110
But<00:11:01.529><c> there's</c><00:11:01.850><c> something</c><00:11:02.330><c> that</c><00:11:02.529><c> you're</c><00:11:02.750><c> not</c><00:11:03.169><c> doing.</c>

00:11:04.129 --> 00:11:04.830
Here's<00:11:04.269><c> the</c><00:11:04.470><c> warning.</c>

00:11:05.289 --> 00:11:08.529
You've<00:11:05.690><c> left</c><00:11:06.169><c> your</c><00:11:06.870><c> first</c><00:11:07.529><c> love.</c>

00:11:09.190 --> 00:11:11.149
Think<00:11:09.389><c> back</c><00:11:09.610><c> to</c><00:11:09.750><c> the</c><00:11:09.889><c> writings</c><00:11:10.090><c> of</c><00:11:10.269><c> the</c><00:11:10.409><c> Apostle</c><00:11:10.830><c> Paul</c>

00:11:11.149 --> 00:11:14.889
and<00:11:12.070><c> recognize</c><00:11:12.610><c> how</c><00:11:12.870><c> important</c><00:11:13.450><c> it</c><00:11:13.710><c> was</c><00:11:14.049><c> that</c><00:11:14.509><c> the</c><00:11:14.690><c> things</c>

00:11:14.889 --> 00:11:17.090
which<00:11:15.110><c> are</c><00:11:15.210><c> done</c><00:11:15.409><c> in</c><00:11:15.649><c> ecclesial</c><00:11:16.070><c> life</c><00:11:16.330><c> are</c><00:11:16.509><c> done</c><00:11:16.649><c> in</c><00:11:16.929><c> love.</c>

00:11:17.250 --> 00:11:20.690
It's<00:11:17.350><c> that</c><00:11:17.529><c> which</c><00:11:17.769><c> binds</c><00:11:18.149><c> everything</c><00:11:18.549><c> together</c><00:11:18.970><c> in</c><00:11:19.350><c> perfect</c><00:11:19.649><c> unity.</c>

00:11:20.789 --> 00:11:23.509
It<00:11:21.009><c> was</c><00:11:21.230><c> missing</c><00:11:21.730><c> from</c><00:11:22.470><c> the</c><00:11:22.669><c> Ecclesia</c><00:11:22.990><c> in</c><00:11:23.230><c> Ephesus.</c>

00:11:23.570 --> 00:11:28.090
They<00:11:23.690><c> were</c><00:11:23.889><c> doing</c><00:11:24.090><c> right</c><00:11:24.409><c> things,</c><00:11:25.970><c> but</c><00:11:26.289><c> the</c><00:11:26.629><c> motivation,</c>

00:11:28.529 --> 00:11:32.049
that<00:11:29.049><c> which</c><00:11:29.269><c> is</c><00:11:29.529><c> the</c><00:11:29.789><c> sort</c><00:11:29.950><c> of</c><00:11:30.250><c> capstone,</c><00:11:31.009><c> the</c><00:11:31.110><c> topstone</c><00:11:31.629><c> of</c><00:11:31.809><c> everything,</c>

00:11:32.169 --> 00:11:34.950
which<00:11:32.269><c> holds</c><00:11:32.470><c> it</c><00:11:32.690><c> all</c><00:11:32.870><c> together,</c><00:11:33.629><c> which</c><00:11:33.929><c> unifies</c><00:11:34.490><c> the</c><00:11:34.769><c> work,</c>

00:11:35.049 --> 00:11:38.269
makes<00:11:35.250><c> it</c><00:11:35.830><c> wholly</c><00:11:36.250><c> brotherly,</c><00:11:37.309><c> was</c><00:11:37.509><c> missing</c><00:11:37.870><c> in</c><00:11:38.129><c> the</c>

00:11:38.269 --> 00:11:39.070
Ephesian<00:11:38.669><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:11:39.149 --> 00:11:40.649
So<00:11:39.269><c> I</c><00:11:39.389><c> have</c><00:11:39.529><c> this</c><00:11:39.710><c> against</c><00:11:40.049><c> thee.</c>

00:11:40.870 --> 00:11:42.529
Thou<00:11:40.950><c> hast</c><00:11:41.090><c> left</c><00:11:41.309><c> thy</c><00:11:41.669><c> first</c><00:11:42.210><c> love.</c>

00:11:42.990 --> 00:11:46.450
Remember<00:11:43.309><c> therefore</c><00:11:43.710><c> from</c><00:11:43.929><c> whence</c><00:11:44.210><c> thou</c><00:11:44.289><c> art</c><00:11:44.509><c> fallen</c><00:11:44.730><c> and</c><00:11:44.970><c> repent.</c>

00:11:48.529 --> 00:11:51.529
Do<00:11:49.049><c> thy</c><00:11:49.570><c> first</c><00:11:50.409><c> works.</c>

00:11:52.070 --> 00:11:55.090
You're<00:11:52.350><c> different</c><00:11:52.750><c> now</c><00:11:53.070><c> from</c><00:11:53.269><c> how</c><00:11:53.549><c> you</c><00:11:53.769><c> were</c><00:11:53.909><c> at</c><00:11:54.090><c> the</c><00:11:54.269><c> beginning.</c>

00:11:55.690 --> 00:11:58.809
And<00:11:56.090><c> then</c><00:11:56.309><c> there's</c><00:11:56.429><c> the</c><00:11:56.669><c> promise</c><00:11:57.610><c> held</c><00:11:58.190><c> out,</c>

00:11:59.129 --> 00:12:00.789
the<00:11:59.330><c> promise</c><00:11:59.470><c> that</c><00:11:59.629><c> we</c><00:11:59.830><c> saw</c><00:12:00.009><c> at</c><00:12:00.230><c> the</c><00:12:00.370><c> end.</c>

00:12:01.230 --> 00:12:03.110
Verse<00:12:01.429><c> seven,</c><00:12:01.830><c> he</c><00:12:02.049><c> that</c><00:12:02.289><c> hath</c><00:12:02.450><c> an</c><00:12:02.629><c> ear,</c>

00:12:03.330 --> 00:12:05.370
let<00:12:03.490><c> him</c><00:12:03.649><c> hear</c><00:12:03.850><c> what</c><00:12:04.070><c> the</c><00:12:04.309><c> Spirit</c><00:12:04.529><c> saith</c><00:12:04.789><c> to</c><00:12:04.970><c> the</c><00:12:05.129><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:12:07.009 --> 00:12:10.070
And<00:12:07.230><c> that's</c><00:12:07.509><c> a</c><00:12:07.629><c> recurring</c><00:12:08.169><c> phrase</c><00:12:08.769><c> in</c><00:12:09.429><c> each</c><00:12:09.610><c> of</c><00:12:09.769><c> the</c><00:12:09.870><c> letters,</c>

00:12:10.110 --> 00:12:12.970
to<00:12:10.269><c> him</c><00:12:10.450><c> who</c><00:12:10.750><c> overcomes,</c><00:12:11.769><c> I</c><00:12:11.909><c> will</c><00:12:12.070><c> give</c><00:12:12.210><c> to</c><00:12:12.370><c> each</c><00:12:12.509><c> of</c><00:12:12.610><c> the</c><00:12:12.769><c> tree</c>

00:12:12.970 --> 00:12:13.389
of<00:12:13.149><c> life</c>

00:12:13.389 --> 00:12:15.950
which<00:12:13.529><c> is</c><00:12:13.669><c> in</c><00:12:13.809><c> the</c><00:12:13.889><c> midst</c><00:12:14.070><c> of</c><00:12:14.230><c> the</c><00:12:14.470><c> paradise</c><00:12:14.870><c> of</c><00:12:15.169><c> God.</c>

00:12:16.590 --> 00:12:17.769
So<00:12:16.830><c> we've</c><00:12:16.929><c> got</c><00:12:16.990><c> that</c><00:12:17.169><c> little</c><00:12:17.370><c> pattern.</c>

00:12:18.110 --> 00:12:21.590
And<00:12:18.250><c> that</c><00:12:18.450><c> pattern</c><00:12:18.690><c> is</c><00:12:18.950><c> there</c><00:12:19.169><c> in,</c><00:12:20.409><c> I</c><00:12:20.669><c> was</c><00:12:20.830><c> going</c><00:12:20.929><c> to</c><00:12:21.090><c> say</c><00:12:21.190><c> in</c>

00:12:21.590 --> 00:12:22.370
every<00:12:21.970><c> letter,</c>

00:12:22.370 --> 00:12:24.710
not<00:12:22.750><c> strictly</c><00:12:23.429><c> true.</c>

00:12:25.570 --> 00:12:30.389
There<00:12:26.029><c> is</c><00:12:26.250><c> an</c><00:12:26.429><c> Ecclesia</c><00:12:27.169><c> against</c><00:12:27.750><c> whom</c><00:12:28.210><c> there</c><00:12:28.750><c> are</c><00:12:28.950><c> no</c><00:12:29.509><c> words</c>

00:12:30.389 --> 00:12:32.149
of<00:12:30.909><c> rebuke.</c>

00:12:32.470 --> 00:12:35.169
But<00:12:32.690><c> with</c><00:12:32.990><c> that</c><00:12:33.149><c> exception,</c><00:12:33.789><c> the</c><00:12:33.929><c> pattern</c><00:12:34.129><c> is</c><00:12:34.350><c> there</c><00:12:34.610><c> for</c><00:12:34.870><c> all.</c>

00:12:35.649 --> 00:12:38.090
So<00:12:35.850><c> you've</c><00:12:36.009><c> got</c><00:12:36.110><c> the</c><00:12:36.309><c> introduction,</c><00:12:37.129><c> you've</c><00:12:37.250><c> got</c><00:12:37.370><c> the</c><00:12:37.649><c> assessment,</c>

00:12:38.450 --> 00:12:41.009
you've<00:12:38.570><c> got</c><00:12:38.710><c> the</c><00:12:38.909><c> warning,</c><00:12:39.490><c> you've</c><00:12:39.730><c> got</c><00:12:39.850><c> the</c><00:12:40.070><c> promise.</c>

00:12:43.269 --> 00:12:44.929
Well,<00:12:43.529><c> let's</c><00:12:43.769><c> just</c><00:12:43.909><c> ask</c><00:12:44.070><c> ourselves</c><00:12:44.309><c> this</c><00:12:44.549><c> question.</c>

00:12:44.929 --> 00:12:51.809
Why<00:12:45.330><c> is</c><00:12:45.490><c> it</c><00:12:46.590><c> that</c><00:12:47.169><c> the</c><00:12:47.389><c> messages</c><00:12:47.769><c> go</c><00:12:48.450><c> to</c><00:12:49.029><c> seven</c><00:12:49.450><c> Ecclesias</c><00:12:50.169><c> in</c><00:12:50.629><c> Asia?</c>

00:12:52.950 --> 00:12:54.870
I<00:12:52.950><c> mean,</c><00:12:53.169><c> there</c><00:12:53.230><c> were</c><00:12:53.389><c> brethren</c><00:12:53.610><c> and</c><00:12:53.830><c> sisters</c><00:12:54.070><c> elsewhere</c><00:12:54.610><c> at</c>

00:12:56.389 --> 00:13:00.750

00:14:12.029 --> 00:14:17.309
We<00:14:12.049><c> examine</c><00:14:12.549><c> ourselves</c><00:14:13.350><c> against</c><00:14:14.769><c> the</c><00:14:15.509><c> pattern</c><00:14:16.149><c> to</c><00:14:16.830><c> which</c><00:14:16.990><c> our</c>

It's<00:15:29.850><c> the</c><00:15:29.950><c> most</c><00:15:30.129><c> important</c><00:15:30.730><c> principle</c><00:15:31.230><c> of</c><00:15:31.450><c> all.</c>

00:15:31.570 --> 00:15:34.750
That's<00:15:31.830><c> why</c><00:15:31.950><c> it's</c><00:15:32.169><c> mentioned</c><00:15:32.629><c> in</c><00:15:33.009><c> the</c><00:15:33.330><c> first</c><00:15:33.690><c> letter.</c>

We<00:15:39.929><c> are</c><00:15:40.090><c> now</c><00:15:40.230><c> having</c><00:15:40.389><c> to</c><00:15:40.710><c> carry</c><00:15:40.929><c> out</c><00:15:41.190><c> this</c><00:15:41.509><c> assessment,</c>

00:17:59.210 --> 00:18:01.450
Well,<00:17:59.430><c> we</c><00:17:59.430><c> have,</c><00:17:59.890><c> in</c><00:17:59.990><c> verse</c><00:18:00.250><c> 13,</c>

00:18:20.670 --> 00:18:22.690
Well,<00:18:21.349><c> just</c><00:18:21.509><c> think</c><00:18:21.670><c> of</c><00:18:21.789><c> the</c><00:18:22.049><c> details</c>

We've<00:18:29.210><c> got,</c><00:18:29.450><c> for</c><00:18:29.690><c> example,</c><00:18:31.470><c> in</c><00:18:31.609><c> verse</c><00:18:31.950><c> 15,</c>

in<00:19:06.690><c> these</c><00:19:07.049><c> two</c><00:19:07.269><c> visions.</c>

00:19:12.150 --> 00:19:15.369
There's<00:19:12.450><c> a</c><00:19:12.609><c> whirlwind</c><00:19:12.930><c> in</c><00:19:13.089><c> verse</c><00:19:13.410><c> four,</c>

00:19:15.410 --> 00:19:17.130
fire<00:19:16.069><c> enfolding</c><00:19:16.730><c> itself.</c>

00:19:17.130 --> 00:19:18.869
Verse<00:19:17.450><c> five,</c><00:19:17.849><c> out</c><00:19:18.029><c> of</c><00:19:18.170><c> the</c><00:19:18.289><c> midst</c><00:19:18.490><c> thereof</c>

00:19:18.869 --> 00:19:21.490
came<00:19:19.089><c> the</c><00:19:19.349><c> likeness</c><00:19:19.750><c> of</c><00:19:20.009><c> four</c><00:19:20.170><c> living</c><00:19:20.490><c> creatures.</c>

00:19:21.569 --> 00:19:23.710
This<00:19:21.789><c> was</c><00:19:21.990><c> their</c><00:19:22.509><c> appearance.</c>

00:19:24.690 --> 00:19:27.150
And<00:19:24.849><c> we</c><00:19:25.009><c> perhaps</c><00:19:25.269><c> don't</c><00:19:25.470><c> sufficiently</c><00:19:25.910><c> focus</c><00:19:26.390><c> on</c><00:19:26.589><c> this</c><00:19:26.869><c> verse.</c>

00:19:27.250 --> 00:19:30.230
This<00:19:27.329><c> is</c><00:19:27.450><c> the</c><00:19:27.650><c> important</c><00:19:27.990><c> part</c><00:19:28.430><c> of</c><00:19:28.670><c> the</c><00:19:28.890><c> caravan,</c>

00:19:30.769 --> 00:19:32.630
probably<00:19:31.069><c> the</c><00:19:31.230><c> most</c><00:19:31.490><c> important</c><00:19:32.029><c> verse</c>

00:19:32.630 --> 00:19:35.990
in<00:19:33.130><c> this</c><00:19:33.650><c> vision</c><00:19:33.970><c> that</c><00:19:34.269><c> Ezekiel</c><00:19:34.670><c> had.</c>

00:19:37.910 --> 00:19:39.210
Sorry,<00:19:38.170><c> the</c><00:19:38.289><c> end</c><00:19:38.390><c> of</c><00:19:38.549><c> verse</c><00:19:38.730><c> five.</c>

00:19:39.289 --> 00:19:40.349
This<00:19:39.509><c> was</c><00:19:39.750><c> their</c><00:19:39.970><c> appearance.</c>

00:19:40.410 --> 00:19:43.930
They<00:19:40.589><c> have</c><00:19:40.809><c> the</c><00:19:41.150><c> likeness</c><00:19:42.309><c> of</c><00:19:42.650><c> a</c><00:19:42.950><c> man.</c>

00:19:45.250 --> 00:19:47.849
That's<00:19:45.750><c> where</c><00:19:45.990><c> the</c><00:19:46.130><c> emphasis</c><00:19:46.589><c> is.</c>

00:19:47.869 --> 00:19:49.769
Whatever<00:19:48.150><c> else</c><00:19:48.529><c> we</c><00:19:48.750><c> learn</c><00:19:48.990><c> about</c><00:19:49.250><c> the</c><00:19:49.490><c> caravan</c>

00:19:49.769 --> 00:19:52.069

00:19:53.049 --> 00:19:54.650
which,<00:19:53.289><c> of</c><00:19:53.369><c> course,</c><00:19:53.650><c> is</c><00:19:53.910><c> really</c><00:19:54.210><c> what</c><00:19:54.329><c> we</c><00:19:54.490><c> read</c>

00:19:54.650 --> 00:19:57.890

00:19:58.190 --> 00:20:00.490
Like<00:19:58.670><c> unto</c><00:19:59.170><c> the</c><00:19:59.450><c> Son</c><00:19:59.690><c> of</c><00:20:00.009><c> Man,</c>

00:20:04.670 --> 00:20:06.150
But<00:20:04.910><c> then</c><00:20:05.089><c> some</c><00:20:05.269><c> of</c><00:20:05.390><c> the</c><00:20:05.450><c> other</c><00:20:05.690><c> details,</c>

00:23:41.089 --> 00:23:44.269
It's<00:23:41.329><c> clear,</c><00:23:41.609><c> isn't</c><00:23:41.710><c> it,</c><00:23:41.869><c> that</c><00:23:41.990><c> we</c><00:23:42.150><c> need</c><00:23:42.410><c> to</c><00:23:42.569><c> have</c><00:23:42.670><c> a</c><00:23:42.890><c> working</c><00:23:43.230><c> knowledge</c>

00:23:47.509 --> 00:23:50.470
in<00:23:47.970><c> order</c><00:23:48.250><c> to</c><00:23:48.630><c> appreciate</c><00:23:49.250><c> the</c><00:23:50.049><c> imagery</c>

00:23:50.470 --> 00:23:53.069

00:23:53.069 --> 00:23:56.529
So<00:23:53.930><c> we've</c><00:23:54.190><c> not</c><00:23:54.390><c> only</c><00:23:54.730><c> created</c><00:23:55.190><c> a</c><00:23:55.490><c> link</c>

00:24:12.869 --> 00:24:16.950
but<00:24:13.009><c> we've</c><00:24:13.230><c> created</c><00:24:13.890><c> a</c><00:24:14.049><c> link</c><00:24:14.410><c> between</c><00:24:14.809><c> an</c><00:24:15.109><c> Old</c><00:24:15.349><c> Testament</c><00:24:15.849><c> vision</c>

So<00:24:23.509><c> the</c><00:24:23.690><c> letters,</c><00:24:24.609><c> I</c><00:24:24.990><c> suggest,</c>

00:24:41.369 --> 00:24:44.849
Dare<00:24:41.490><c> we</c><00:24:41.690><c> say</c><00:24:41.910><c> it,</c><00:24:42.289><c> it's</c><00:24:42.730><c> important</c><00:24:43.089><c> that</c><00:24:43.329><c> we</c><00:24:43.589><c> should</c><00:24:43.890><c> see</c><00:24:44.150><c> the</c><00:24:44.450><c> vision,</c>

00:24:49.029 --> 00:24:52.750

00:26:20.789 --> 00:26:22.369
And<00:26:20.930><c> there</c><00:26:21.089><c> is</c><00:26:21.349><c> something</c><00:26:21.609><c> to</c><00:26:21.930><c> overcome.</c>

00:26:22.869 --> 00:26:24.809
There<00:26:23.029><c> are</c><00:26:23.309><c> pressures</c><00:26:23.750><c> upon</c><00:26:24.069><c> us.</c>

00:26:25.230 --> 00:26:28.250
There<00:26:25.329><c> are</c><00:26:25.569><c> temptations</c><00:26:26.250><c> around</c><00:26:26.769><c> and</c><00:26:27.289><c> within.</c>

00:26:28.809 --> 00:26:31.029
All<00:26:29.089><c> of</c><00:26:29.269><c> those</c><00:26:29.490><c> things</c><00:26:29.789><c> have</c><00:26:30.009><c> to</c><00:26:30.190><c> be</c><00:26:30.609><c> overcome</c>

00:26:31.029 --> 00:26:35.569
if<00:26:31.309><c> ultimately</c><00:26:32.089><c> we</c><00:26:32.690><c> are</c><00:26:32.950><c> to</c><00:26:34.049><c> be</c><00:26:34.410><c> encompassed</c>

00:26:35.630 --> 00:26:38.230
when<00:26:36.109><c> that</c><00:26:36.509><c> vision</c><00:26:36.829><c> becomes</c><00:26:37.410><c> reality.</c>

00:26:38.670 --> 00:26:40.069
Well,<00:26:38.769><c> that's</c><00:26:38.970><c> the</c><00:26:39.170><c> importance</c><00:26:39.410><c> of</c><00:26:39.609><c> the</c><00:26:39.750><c> vision,</c>

00:26:40.390 --> 00:26:42.089
not<00:26:40.529><c> just</c><00:26:40.730><c> a</c><00:26:40.930><c> dream.</c>

00:26:42.569 --> 00:26:44.990
Nebuchadnezzar<00:26:43.049><c> didn't</c><00:26:43.190><c> just</c><00:26:43.450><c> see</c><00:26:43.670><c> a</c><00:26:43.890><c> dream,</c>

00:26:45.029 --> 00:26:47.009
even<00:26:45.250><c> though</c><00:26:45.390><c> he</c><00:26:45.490><c> did</c><00:26:45.750><c> see</c><00:26:46.009><c> a</c><00:26:46.170><c> dream,</c>

00:26:47.029 --> 00:26:49.750
what<00:26:47.210><c> he</c><00:26:47.410><c> saw</c><00:26:47.750><c> was</c><00:26:47.950><c> something</c><00:26:48.309><c> which</c><00:26:48.490><c> was</c><00:26:48.730><c> really</c><00:26:49.029><c> going</c><00:26:49.190><c> to</c><00:26:49.450><c> happen.</c>

00:26:50.210 --> 00:26:52.269
Daniel<00:26:50.349><c> didn't</c><00:26:50.569><c> just</c><00:26:50.789><c> see</c><00:26:50.990><c> a</c><00:26:51.230><c> dream.</c>

00:26:52.630 --> 00:26:55.150
Ezekiel<00:26:52.930><c> and</c><00:26:53.029><c> Daniel</c><00:26:53.349><c> in</c><00:26:53.569><c> their</c><00:26:53.750><c> visions</c><00:26:54.089><c> didn't</c><00:26:54.329><c> just</c><00:26:54.549><c> see</c><00:26:54.769><c> something</c>

00:26:55.150 --> 00:26:57.430
which<00:26:55.329><c> was</c><00:26:55.569><c> a</c><00:26:55.730><c> figment</c><00:26:56.029><c> of</c><00:26:56.250><c> imagination,</c>

00:26:58.930 --> 00:27:01.750
just<00:26:59.170><c> a</c><00:26:59.349><c> little</c><00:26:59.589><c> list</c><00:26:59.849><c> of</c><00:27:00.130><c> symbols</c><00:27:00.529><c> neatly</c><00:27:00.910><c> gathered</c><00:27:01.210><c> together.</c>

00:27:01.869 --> 00:27:03.829
It<00:27:02.069><c> was</c><00:27:02.329><c> a</c><00:27:02.589><c> reality.</c>

00:27:04.890 --> 00:27:09.869
Just<00:27:05.569><c> think</c><00:27:05.890><c> for</c><00:27:06.089><c> a</c><00:27:06.250><c> moment</c><00:27:06.490><c> of</c><00:27:07.069><c> Moses</c><00:27:07.670><c> and</c><00:27:09.150><c> of</c><00:27:09.410><c> David.</c>

00:27:10.049 --> 00:27:12.809
Both<00:27:10.390><c> of</c><00:27:10.609><c> them</c><00:27:10.750><c> were</c><00:27:11.029><c> shown</c><00:27:11.329><c> patterns.</c>

00:27:13.009 --> 00:27:16.109
Moses<00:27:13.250><c> was</c><00:27:13.490><c> shown</c><00:27:13.670><c> a</c><00:27:14.009><c> pattern</c><00:27:14.430><c> in</c><00:27:15.009><c> the</c><00:27:15.230><c> mount.</c>

00:27:16.970 --> 00:27:18.549
And<00:27:17.269><c> when</c><00:27:17.410><c> he</c><00:27:17.529><c> came</c><00:27:17.730><c> down</c><00:27:18.069><c> from</c><00:27:18.250><c> the</c><00:27:18.390><c> mount</c>

00:27:18.549 --> 00:27:22.710
and<00:27:18.670><c> gave</c><00:27:18.849><c> that</c><00:27:19.190><c> pattern</c><00:27:19.730><c> to</c><00:27:20.289><c> be</c><00:27:20.490><c> constructed</c><00:27:21.009><c> into</c><00:27:21.369><c> a</c><00:27:21.589><c> tabernacle,</c>

00:27:23.150 --> 00:27:25.609
it<00:27:23.250><c> wasn't</c><00:27:23.529><c> actually</c><00:27:23.890><c> the</c><00:27:24.250><c> tabernacle</c>

00:27:25.910 --> 00:27:28.990
which<00:27:26.589><c> Moses</c><00:27:26.970><c> had</c><00:27:27.250><c> really</c><00:27:27.630><c> been</c><00:27:28.009><c> shown.</c>

00:27:29.569 --> 00:27:35.089
What<00:27:30.450><c> he'd</c><00:27:30.710><c> been</c><00:27:31.069><c> shown</c><00:27:31.369><c> was</c><00:27:31.630><c> how</c><00:27:32.069><c> it</c><00:27:32.289><c> is</c><00:27:33.369><c> being</c><00:27:33.750><c> ordered</c><00:27:34.190><c> by</c><00:27:34.589><c> God</c>

00:27:35.089 --> 00:27:41.109
for<00:27:35.970><c> man</c><00:27:36.569><c> to</c><00:27:37.190><c> come</c><00:27:37.329><c> into</c><00:27:38.130><c> covenant</c><00:27:38.609><c> relationship</c><00:27:39.569><c> with</c><00:27:40.009><c> God.</c>

00:27:41.910 --> 00:27:44.910
And<00:27:42.029><c> the</c><00:27:42.250><c> tabernacle</c><00:27:42.730><c> continued</c><00:27:43.609><c> a</c><00:27:43.970><c> pattern.</c>

00:27:44.990 --> 00:27:46.529
There's<00:27:45.130><c> a</c><00:27:45.369><c> reality.</c>

00:27:47.549 --> 00:27:50.529
And<00:27:47.690><c> the</c><00:27:47.910><c> reality</c><00:27:48.410><c> is</c><00:27:48.630><c> when</c><00:27:48.829><c> man</c><00:27:49.069><c> is</c><00:27:49.430><c> finally</c><00:27:49.730><c> united</c>

00:27:50.529 --> 00:27:54.349
through<00:27:51.269><c> Christ</c><00:27:52.009><c> with</c><00:27:52.769><c> his</c><00:27:52.930><c> Heavenly</c><00:27:53.289><c> Father.</c>

00:27:54.890 --> 00:27:58.509
And<00:27:55.450><c> so</c><00:27:55.650><c> that's</c><00:27:56.009><c> the</c><00:27:56.170><c> message</c><00:27:56.529><c> which</c><00:27:57.210><c> Daniel</c><00:27:57.730><c> and</c><00:27:58.069><c> Ezekiel</c>

00:27:58.509 --> 00:27:59.309
were<00:27:58.670><c> being</c><00:27:58.970><c> granted.</c>

00:27:59.490 --> 00:28:01.369
It's<00:27:59.549><c> the</c><00:27:59.690><c> message</c><00:27:59.890><c> which</c><00:28:00.170><c> John</c><00:28:00.490><c> was</c><00:28:00.750><c> being</c><00:28:01.069><c> shown.</c>

00:28:01.470 --> 00:28:04.150
It's<00:28:01.589><c> the</c><00:28:01.769><c> message</c><00:28:02.009><c> which</c><00:28:02.230><c> we</c><00:28:02.470><c> need</c><00:28:02.630><c> to</c><00:28:02.930><c> try</c><00:28:03.089><c> and</c><00:28:03.369><c> grasp.</c>

00:28:04.250 --> 00:28:07.809
We're<00:28:04.390><c> being</c><00:28:04.789><c> called</c><00:28:05.089><c> to</c><00:28:05.289><c> something</c><00:28:05.690><c> marvelous</c><00:28:06.390><c> and</c><00:28:06.809><c> grand.</c>

00:28:08.450 --> 00:28:10.069
And<00:28:08.650><c> unless</c><00:28:08.890><c> we</c><00:28:09.190><c> recognize</c><00:28:09.710><c> that,</c>

00:28:10.289 --> 00:28:12.950
there's<00:28:10.490><c> no</c><00:28:10.789><c> hope</c><00:28:11.150><c> for</c><00:28:11.450><c> us</c><00:28:11.769><c> overcoming</c>

00:28:13.650 --> 00:28:15.730
because<00:28:14.210><c> we</c><00:28:14.369><c> won't</c><00:28:14.549><c> appreciate</c><00:28:14.990><c> what</c><00:28:15.150><c> it's</c><00:28:15.430><c> about.</c>

00:28:15.809 --> 00:28:19.569
We<00:28:15.950><c> won't</c><00:28:16.089><c> be</c><00:28:16.250><c> able</c><00:28:16.369><c> to</c><00:28:16.509><c> ask</c><00:28:16.750><c> for</c><00:28:17.009><c> assistance</c><00:28:17.690><c> in</c><00:28:18.609><c> overcoming.</c>

00:28:21.809 --> 00:28:25.710
So<00:28:22.450><c> here</c><00:28:22.690><c> we've</c><00:28:22.890><c> got</c><00:28:22.990><c> some</c><00:28:23.190><c> information</c><00:28:23.789><c> in</c><00:28:24.170><c> Daniel</c><00:28:24.509><c> chapter</c><00:28:24.890><c> 10.</c>

00:28:26.250 --> 00:28:28.250
We've<00:28:26.509><c> got</c><00:28:26.589><c> a</c><00:28:26.750><c> man</c><00:28:26.930><c> clothed</c><00:28:27.210><c> in</c><00:28:27.470><c> linen.</c>

00:28:29.509 --> 00:28:33.569
And<00:28:29.890><c> we</c><00:28:29.990><c> know</c><00:28:30.250><c> from</c><00:28:30.789><c> Revelation,</c><00:28:31.509><c> don't</c><00:28:31.710><c> we,</c><00:28:31.829><c> what</c><00:28:32.029><c> the</c><00:28:32.309><c> linen</c><00:28:32.630><c> is.</c>

00:28:33.950 --> 00:28:35.730
Linen<00:28:34.230><c> down</c><00:28:34.589><c> to</c><00:28:34.789><c> the</c><00:28:35.009><c> foot.</c>

00:28:36.049 --> 00:28:40.809
The<00:28:36.230><c> man</c><00:28:36.410><c> is</c><00:28:36.769><c> completely</c><00:28:37.430><c> covered</c><00:28:38.069><c> right</c><00:28:38.869><c> down</c><00:28:39.190><c> to</c><00:28:39.390><c> the</c><00:28:39.609><c> ground.</c>

00:28:41.869 --> 00:28:44.470
And<00:28:42.150><c> remember,</c><00:28:42.910><c> Revelation</c><00:28:43.329><c> tells</c><00:28:43.690><c> us</c>

00:28:44.470 --> 00:28:48.390
fine<00:28:44.869><c> linen</c><00:28:45.369><c> is</c><00:28:46.109><c> the</c><00:28:46.349><c> righteousness</c><00:28:46.809><c> of</c><00:28:47.309><c> saints.</c>

00:28:48.750 --> 00:28:51.029
So<00:28:49.269><c> here</c><00:28:49.650><c> the</c><00:28:49.890><c> vision</c><00:28:50.049><c> is</c><00:28:50.230><c> speaking</c><00:28:50.529><c> of</c><00:28:50.750><c> a</c><00:28:50.849><c> time</c>

00:28:51.029 --> 00:28:52.849
when<00:28:51.210><c> we</c><00:28:51.309><c> should</c><00:28:51.509><c> be</c><00:28:51.829><c> clothed</c><00:28:52.289><c> upon</c>

00:28:52.849 --> 00:28:56.470
with<00:28:53.490><c> the</c><00:28:53.690><c> righteousness</c><00:28:54.150><c> of</c><00:28:54.430><c> the</c><00:28:54.529><c> Lord</c><00:28:54.750><c> Jesus</c><00:28:55.150><c> Christ.</c>

00:28:56.609 --> 00:28:58.190
That's<00:28:56.809><c> what</c><00:28:56.950><c> we're</c><00:28:57.130><c> seeking</c><00:28:57.549><c> for.</c>

00:28:58.369 --> 00:28:59.990
Above<00:28:58.490><c> all</c><00:28:58.690><c> else,</c><00:28:59.029><c> that's</c><00:28:59.269><c> what</c><00:28:59.410><c> we</c><00:28:59.569><c> want.</c>

00:29:00.430 --> 00:29:01.990
No<00:29:00.630><c> righteousness</c><00:29:01.130><c> of</c><00:29:01.369><c> our</c><00:29:01.589><c> own</c>

00:29:01.990 --> 00:29:04.490

00:33:10.869 --> 00:33:13.710
It's<00:33:11.069><c> the</c><00:33:11.230><c> transfiguration,</c><00:33:12.329><c> do</c><00:33:12.650><c> you</c><00:33:12.650><c> remember?</c>

And<00:33:24.970><c> of</c><00:33:25.250><c> course,</c><00:33:26.430><c> what</c><00:33:26.609><c> flows</c><00:33:26.970><c> from</c><00:33:27.190><c> that</c><00:33:27.410><c> is</c><00:33:27.730><c> the</c><00:33:28.049><c> change</c>

00:33:30.089 --> 00:33:34.710
And<00:33:30.369><c> we</c><00:33:30.589><c> also,</c><00:33:31.349><c> being</c><00:33:31.750><c> changed</c><00:33:32.210><c> from</c><00:33:32.670><c> glory</c><00:33:33.150><c> to</c><00:33:33.549><c> glory,</c>

00:33:34.970 --> 00:33:39.130
when<00:33:35.109><c> we</c><00:33:35.369><c> behold</c><00:33:35.910><c> the</c><00:33:37.809><c> visage</c><00:33:38.269><c> of</c><00:33:38.509><c> the</c><00:33:38.670><c> Lord,</c>

00:33:39.130 --> 00:33:42.470

00:33:42.789 --> 00:33:43.630
So<00:33:42.890><c> that's</c><00:33:43.150><c> the</c><00:33:43.269><c> information.</c>

00:33:43.750 --> 00:33:44.970

We<00:33:45.089><c> need</c><00:33:45.269><c> to</c><00:33:45.369><c> be</c><00:33:45.650><c> changed</c><00:33:45.910><c> to</c><00:33:46.089><c> be</c><00:33:46.230><c> like</c><00:33:46.490><c> him</c>

00:33:46.829 --> 00:33:50.309

00:33:50.789 --> 00:33:52.650
That's<00:33:51.089><c> the</c><00:33:51.289><c> important</c><00:33:51.589><c> part.</c>

00:33:53.970 --> 00:33:58.210
Changed<00:33:54.349><c> to</c><00:33:54.529><c> be</c><00:33:54.690><c> like</c><00:33:55.289><c> the</c><00:33:55.569><c> son</c><00:33:55.829><c> of</c><00:33:56.049><c> man</c><00:33:56.410><c> made</c><00:33:56.990><c> perfect.</c>

00:33:58.970 --> 00:34:01.269
His<00:33:59.089><c> eyes</c><00:33:59.430><c> like</c><00:33:59.730><c> lamps</c><00:34:00.049><c> of</c><00:34:00.349><c> fire,</c>

00:34:04.410 --> 00:34:07.269
So<00:34:04.589><c> we're</c><00:34:04.869><c> reminded</c><00:34:05.289><c> there,</c><00:34:06.470><c> polished</c><00:34:06.730><c> brass,</c>

00:34:19.630 --> 00:34:21.989
But<00:34:19.809><c> this</c><00:34:20.110><c> isn't</c><00:34:20.409><c> just</c><00:34:20.889><c> brass.</c>

00:34:22.809 --> 00:34:25.849

00:35:02.969 --> 00:35:06.510

00:35:11.889 --> 00:35:14.230
It's<00:35:12.130><c> important</c><00:35:12.389><c> that</c><00:35:12.570><c> it's</c><00:35:12.710><c> the</c><00:35:12.909><c> feet,</c><00:35:13.150><c> of</c><00:35:13.289><c> course,</c>

00:35:14.610 --> 00:35:18.170

00:35:18.369 --> 00:35:20.210
It's<00:35:18.510><c> talking</c><00:35:18.789><c> about</c><00:35:19.030><c> the</c><00:35:19.329><c> things</c><00:35:19.670><c> that</c><00:35:19.929><c> we</c><00:35:20.070><c> do,</c>

00:35:22.510 --> 00:35:23.829
Remember<00:35:22.630><c> what</c><00:35:22.750><c> was</c><00:35:22.949><c> said</c><00:35:23.070><c> about</c><00:35:23.289><c> the</c><00:35:23.489><c> cherubim?</c>

00:35:26.769 --> 00:35:28.869
Now<00:35:26.949><c> that's</c><00:35:27.190><c> telling</c><00:35:27.309><c> us</c><00:35:27.510><c> two</c><00:35:27.769><c> things.</c>

00:35:29.170 --> 00:35:31.630

00:35:34.989 --> 00:35:35.750
leads<00:35:35.250><c> to</c><00:35:35.510><c> life</c>

00:40:15.269 --> 00:40:19.309

00:41:21.489 --> 00:41:24.030
because<00:41:21.650><c> we</c><00:41:21.889><c> normally</c><00:41:22.210><c> say,</c><00:41:22.590><c> well,</c><00:41:22.590><c> let's</c><00:41:22.809><c> try</c><00:41:23.030><c> and</c><00:41:23.269><c> find</c><00:41:23.469><c> out</c>

00:41:26.510 --> 00:41:29.090
Yes,<00:41:26.730><c> it</c><00:41:26.889><c> may</c><00:41:27.110><c> have</c><00:41:27.289><c> been</c><00:41:27.449><c> written</c><00:41:27.630><c> against</c><00:41:27.929><c> the</c><00:41:28.190><c> background</c><00:41:28.630><c> of,</c>

00:43:29.510 --> 00:43:31.610
Therefore<00:43:29.710><c> God,</c><00:43:30.349><c> thy</c><00:43:30.590><c> God,</c><00:43:30.849><c> has</c><00:43:31.050><c> anointed</c><00:43:31.429><c> thee</c>

00:43:42.030 --> 00:43:44.329
And<00:43:42.309><c> then</c><00:43:42.530><c> the</c><00:43:42.809><c> psalmist</c><00:43:43.130><c> changes.</c>

King's<00:43:58.869><c> daughters</c><00:43:59.469><c> are</c><00:44:00.409><c> among</c><00:44:00.670><c> thy</c><00:44:00.949><c> honorable</c><00:44:01.429><c> women.</c>

00:44:09.389 --> 00:44:13.210
the<00:44:09.670><c> same</c><00:44:09.929><c> word</c><00:44:10.210><c> that's</c><00:44:10.710><c> translated</c><00:44:11.429><c> youth</c><00:44:12.170><c> as.</c>

00:44:21.170 --> 00:44:23.710
So<00:44:21.590><c> it's</c><00:44:22.170><c> the</c><00:44:22.369><c> same</c><00:44:22.590><c> vision,</c>

00:46:03.989 --> 00:46:05.630
Well,<00:46:04.489><c> she</c><00:46:04.630><c> was</c><00:46:04.929><c> glorious</c><00:46:05.369><c> within.</c>

00:46:05.730 --> 00:46:07.909
She<00:46:05.769><c> wasn't</c><00:46:05.929><c> very</c><00:46:06.250><c> glorious</c><00:46:06.570><c> without.</c>

00:46:08.309 --> 00:46:10.389
Covered<00:46:08.610><c> with</c><00:46:08.730><c> badger</c><00:46:09.170><c> skins,</c>

But<00:46:13.469><c> within,</c><00:46:14.110><c> that's</c><00:46:14.349><c> where</c><00:46:14.590><c> the</c><00:46:14.789><c> beauty</c><00:46:15.110><c> was.</c>

00:46:15.610 --> 00:46:17.750

00:47:21.550 --> 00:47:23.429
That's<00:47:21.869><c> the</c><00:47:22.070><c> important</c><00:47:22.329><c> thing.</c>

00:47:23.630 --> 00:47:26.809
Because<00:47:24.030><c> it's</c><00:47:24.389><c> not</c><00:47:24.630><c> man</c><00:47:25.010><c> that</c><00:47:25.250><c> needs</c><00:47:25.449><c> to</c><00:47:25.710><c> see</c><00:47:25.869><c> it.</c>

00:47:26.869 --> 00:47:29.510
We're<00:47:27.309><c> doing</c><00:47:27.570><c> this</c><00:47:27.969><c> for</c><00:47:28.590><c> our</c><00:47:28.750><c> heavenly</c><00:47:29.130><c> father.</c>

00:47:34.849 --> 00:47:36.750
That's<00:47:35.210><c> the</c><00:47:35.449><c> important</c><00:47:35.730><c> part.</c>

00:47:37.309 --> 00:47:39.690
So<00:47:37.489><c> can</c><00:47:37.670><c> you</c><00:47:37.829><c> see</c><00:47:38.030><c> now</c><00:47:38.730><c> the</c><00:47:38.989><c> Apostle</c><00:47:39.429><c> John,</c>

This<00:47:53.150><c> is</c><00:47:53.250><c> the</c><00:47:53.349><c> most</c><00:47:53.610><c> important</c><00:47:53.989><c> vision</c><00:47:54.250><c> of</c><00:47:54.429><c> all.</c>

And<00:48:27.610><c> that's</c><00:48:27.809><c> where</c><00:48:27.969><c> the</c><00:48:28.250><c> strength</c><00:48:28.530><c> lies,</c><00:48:28.889><c> of</c><00:48:29.130><c> course.</c>

00:48:29.929 --> 00:48:35.449
That's<00:48:30.210><c> how</c><00:48:30.369><c> people</c><00:48:30.690><c> can</c><00:48:31.230><c> undergo</c><00:48:31.670><c> all</c><00:48:32.130><c> sorts</c><00:48:32.690><c> of</c><00:48:33.389><c> traumatic</c><00:48:33.929><c> experiences.</c>

00:48:39.090 --> 00:48:41.150
The<00:48:39.389><c> heart</c><00:48:39.650><c> is</c><00:48:39.829><c> the</c><00:48:39.869><c> most</c><00:48:40.170><c> important</c><00:48:40.630><c> part.</c>

00:48:41.570 --> 00:48:44.630
Our<00:48:41.889><c> relationship</c><00:48:42.489><c> of</c><00:48:42.710><c> our</c><00:48:42.989><c> mind</c><00:48:43.510><c> with</c><00:48:43.710><c> the</c><00:48:43.889><c> things</c><00:48:44.130><c> of</c><00:48:44.389><c> God</c>

00:48:44.630 --> 00:48:47.250
is<00:48:44.829><c> the</c><00:48:44.909><c> most</c><00:48:45.389><c> precious</c><00:48:45.849><c> gift</c><00:48:46.190><c> that</c><00:48:46.429><c> we</c><00:48:46.710><c> have.</c>

00:48:47.570 --> 00:48:48.989
We<00:48:47.789><c> have</c><00:48:47.969><c> to</c><00:48:48.190><c> sustain</c><00:48:48.630><c> it.</c>

00:48:48.989 --> 00:48:52.389
Though<00:48:49.789><c> the</c><00:48:50.329><c> outward</c><00:48:50.849><c> man</c><00:48:51.389><c> decays,</c>

00:48:52.389 --> 00:48:54.369
remember<00:48:52.730><c> the</c><00:48:52.929><c> apostle</c><00:48:53.230><c> Paul</c><00:48:53.530><c> said,</c>

00:48:54.429 --> 00:48:57.610
the<00:48:54.710><c> inward</c><00:48:55.250><c> man</c><00:48:55.590><c> is</c><00:48:55.809><c> being</c><00:48:56.130><c> renewed</c><00:48:56.590><c> day</c><00:48:56.929><c> by</c><00:48:57.269><c> day.</c>

00:48:57.650 --> 00:48:59.110
That's<00:48:57.929><c> the</c><00:48:58.050><c> message.</c>

00:48:59.650 --> 00:49:00.889
And<00:48:59.789><c> John</c><00:48:59.889><c> was</c><00:49:00.050><c> being</c><00:49:00.309><c> told,</c>

00:49:01.090 --> 00:49:03.889
prisoners<00:49:01.389><c> before</c><00:49:01.849><c> you</c><00:49:02.050><c> have</c><00:49:02.250><c> been</c><00:49:02.409><c> given</c><00:49:02.610><c> this</c><00:49:02.889><c> same</c><00:49:03.130><c> information.</c>

00:49:04.309 --> 00:49:06.949
Ezekiel<00:49:04.710><c> amongst</c><00:49:04.969><c> the</c><00:49:05.250><c> captives.</c>

00:49:07.190 --> 00:49:10.170
Daniel,<00:49:07.630><c> he</c><00:49:07.789><c> might</c><00:49:08.050><c> have</c><00:49:08.190><c> been</c><00:49:08.309><c> in</c><00:49:08.630><c> King's</c><00:49:09.130><c> palaces,</c>

00:49:10.690 --> 00:49:14.309
but<00:49:10.949><c> his</c><00:49:11.349><c> heart</c><00:49:11.809><c> was</c><00:49:12.050><c> in</c><00:49:12.369><c> the</c><00:49:12.769><c> King's</c><00:49:13.369><c> palace.</c>

00:49:14.349 --> 00:49:15.730
That<00:49:14.489><c> was</c><00:49:14.710><c> the</c><00:49:14.829><c> truth,</c><00:49:15.090><c> wasn't</c><00:49:15.250><c> it?</c>

00:49:16.130 --> 00:49:18.230
And<00:49:16.429><c> the</c><00:49:16.630><c> same</c><00:49:16.789><c> message</c><00:49:17.110><c> for</c><00:49:17.329><c> John.</c>

00:49:18.530 --> 00:49:19.869
Hold<00:49:19.150><c> on</c><00:49:19.409><c> to</c><00:49:19.550><c> that.</c>

00:49:20.150 --> 00:49:22.929
And<00:49:20.250><c> to</c><00:49:20.389><c> the</c><00:49:20.590><c> one</c><00:49:20.909><c> who</c><00:49:21.429><c> overcomes,</c>

00:49:23.969 --> 00:49:25.949
the<00:49:24.070><c> great</c><00:49:24.329><c> blessing</c><00:49:24.750><c> will</c><00:49:25.030><c> come.</c>

00:49:25.989 --> 00:49:27.429
The<00:49:26.230><c> great</c><00:49:26.469><c> blessing.</c>

00:49:28.409 --> 00:49:34.230
So,<00:49:28.829><c> what</c><00:49:28.989><c> were</c><00:49:29.130><c> the</c><00:49:29.329><c> people</c><00:49:29.590><c> to</c><00:49:29.889><c> do</c><00:49:30.610><c> who</c><00:49:32.309><c> read</c><00:49:33.210><c> this?</c>

00:49:37.309 --> 00:49:39.289
Well,<00:49:38.329><c> this</c><00:49:38.530><c> is</c><00:49:38.630><c> what</c><00:49:38.670><c> they</c><00:49:38.849><c> had</c><00:49:39.010><c> to</c><00:49:39.170><c> do.</c>

00:49:39.469 --> 00:49:41.170
How<00:49:39.590><c> do</c><00:49:39.769><c> we</c><00:49:39.869><c> finish</c><00:49:40.070><c> this</c><00:49:40.369><c> morning?</c>

00:49:45.070 --> 00:49:48.949
Because<00:49:45.550><c> they</c><00:49:45.989><c> knew</c><00:49:46.869><c> their</c><00:49:47.349><c> position</c><00:49:47.809><c> in</c><00:49:47.989><c> the</c><00:49:48.130><c> purpose</c><00:49:48.429><c> of</c><00:49:48.710><c> God.</c>

00:49:49.389 --> 00:49:51.829
We<00:49:49.590><c> know</c><00:49:49.809><c> our</c><00:49:50.070><c> position</c><00:49:50.389><c> in</c><00:49:50.550><c> the</c><00:49:50.730><c> purpose</c><00:49:50.969><c> of</c><00:49:51.250><c> God,</c>

00:49:52.090 --> 00:49:53.429
by<00:49:52.230><c> His</c><00:49:52.530><c> grace.</c>

00:49:54.230 --> 00:49:57.670
And<00:49:54.409><c> as</c><00:49:54.730><c> God's</c><00:49:55.170><c> purpose</c><00:49:55.449><c> is</c><00:49:55.690><c> unfolded</c><00:49:56.530><c> through</c><00:49:56.730><c> the</c><00:49:56.849><c> book</c><00:49:57.030><c> of</c><00:49:57.210><c> Revelation,</c>

00:49:57.909 --> 00:50:00.010
there's<00:49:57.969><c> something</c><00:49:58.289><c> that</c><00:49:58.469><c> we</c><00:49:58.590><c> have</c><00:49:58.809><c> to</c><00:49:59.010><c> do.</c>

00:50:00.570 --> 00:50:01.789
And<00:50:00.750><c> we</c><00:50:00.829><c> have</c><00:50:01.030><c> to</c><00:50:01.289><c> pray.</c>

00:50:01.789 --> 00:50:02.710
No.

00:50:03.849 --> 00:50:06.610
If<00:50:03.849><c> you</c><00:50:04.769><c> want</c><00:50:04.909><c> to,</c><00:50:05.050><c> you</c><00:50:05.050><c> can</c><00:50:05.250><c> turn</c><00:50:05.329><c> up</c><00:50:05.489><c> those</c><00:50:05.650><c> passages.</c>

00:50:07.789 --> 00:50:09.449
The<00:50:07.869><c> most</c><00:50:08.110><c> important</c><00:50:08.849><c> parts,</c>

00:50:09.449 --> 00:50:13.530
and<00:50:09.710><c> we</c><00:50:10.230><c> miss</c><00:50:10.650><c> them</c><00:50:11.349><c> if</c><00:50:12.710><c> we're</c><00:50:12.869><c> not</c><00:50:13.110><c> careful,</c>

00:50:13.590 --> 00:50:15.869
but<00:50:13.690><c> they're</c><00:50:13.869><c> the</c><00:50:13.969><c> most</c><00:50:14.250><c> important</c><00:50:14.650><c> parts,</c>

00:50:16.530 --> 00:50:19.289
is<00:50:16.670><c> that</c><00:50:16.809><c> the</c><00:50:17.210><c> incidents</c><00:50:17.829><c> in</c><00:50:18.269><c> the</c><00:50:18.409><c> book</c><00:50:18.570><c> of</c><00:50:18.769><c> Revelation</c>

00:50:19.289 --> 00:50:23.610
are<00:50:19.769><c> all</c><00:50:20.150><c> triggered</c><00:50:20.769><c> by</c><00:50:21.670><c> the</c><00:50:21.989><c> prayers</c><00:50:22.250><c> of</c><00:50:22.469><c> the</c><00:50:22.650><c> saints.</c>

00:50:25.989 --> 00:50:29.250
Look<00:50:26.190><c> at</c><00:50:26.329><c> that</c><00:50:26.489><c> first</c><00:50:26.789><c> one,</c><00:50:27.210><c> Revelation</c><00:50:27.690><c> chapter</c><00:50:28.110><c> 5.</c>

00:50:29.750 --> 00:50:31.489
And<00:50:30.269><c> there</c><00:50:30.630><c> would</c><00:50:30.809><c> be</c><00:50:30.909><c> no</c><00:50:31.190><c> point.</c>

00:50:31.969 --> 00:50:35.230
The<00:50:32.150><c> saints</c><00:50:32.329><c> would</c><00:50:32.610><c> not</c><00:50:32.889><c> pray</c><00:50:33.250><c> unless</c><00:50:33.550><c> they</c><00:50:33.889><c> recognized</c><00:50:34.369><c> their</c><00:50:34.650><c> own</c><00:50:34.969><c> part</c>

00:50:35.230 --> 00:50:36.869
in<00:50:35.369><c> the</c><00:50:35.530><c> purpose</c><00:50:35.789><c> of</c><00:50:36.050><c> God.</c>

00:50:36.949 --> 00:50:38.550
Unless<00:50:37.170><c> they</c><00:50:37.489><c> knew</c><00:50:37.769><c> that</c><00:50:38.010><c> in</c><00:50:38.230><c> the</c><00:50:38.389><c> end,</c>

00:50:38.550 --> 00:50:40.369
they're<00:50:38.809><c> going</c><00:50:38.909><c> to</c><00:50:39.010><c> be</c><00:50:39.269><c> part</c><00:50:39.469><c> of</c><00:50:39.590><c> the</c><00:50:39.849><c> one</c><00:50:40.110><c> man.</c>

00:50:40.389 --> 00:50:42.829
That's<00:50:40.570><c> what</c><00:50:40.650><c> they</c><00:50:40.869><c> want</c><00:50:41.030><c> more</c><00:50:41.250><c> than</c><00:50:41.429><c> anything</c><00:50:41.730><c> else.</c>

00:50:43.349 --> 00:50:44.449
That's<00:50:43.610><c> the</c><00:50:43.769><c> motivation,</c>

00:50:44.869 --> 00:50:47.250
to<00:50:45.150><c> be</c><00:50:45.429><c> united</c><00:50:45.769><c> with</c><00:50:46.010><c> the</c><00:50:46.150><c> Lord</c><00:50:46.329><c> Jesus</c><00:50:46.710><c> Christ.</c>

00:50:47.670 --> 00:50:49.730
And<00:50:47.849><c> if</c><00:50:47.949><c> we've</c><00:50:48.110><c> got</c><00:50:48.230><c> that,</c><00:50:48.889><c> clearly</c><00:50:49.190><c> in</c><00:50:49.449><c> our</c><00:50:49.610><c> mind,</c>

00:50:49.789 --> 00:50:51.929
we're<00:50:49.889><c> going</c><00:50:49.989><c> to</c><00:50:50.150><c> do</c><00:50:50.329><c> something</c><00:50:50.650><c> about</c><00:50:50.949><c> it.</c>

00:50:53.130 --> 00:50:54.690
So,<00:50:53.570><c> Revelation</c><00:50:53.690><c> 5</c><00:50:54.090><c> verse</c><00:50:54.369><c> 8,</c>

00:50:54.690 --> 00:50:58.750
when<00:50:55.530><c> the</c><00:50:56.510><c> lamb</c><00:50:56.690><c> has</c><00:50:56.949><c> taken</c><00:50:57.210><c> the</c><00:50:57.409><c> book,</c>

00:50:59.949 --> 00:51:02.469
the<00:51:00.110><c> four</c><00:51:00.409><c> beasts</c><00:51:00.869><c> and</c><00:51:01.130><c> the</c><00:51:01.269><c> four</c><00:51:01.590><c> and</c><00:51:01.769><c> twenty</c><00:51:02.070><c> elders</c>

00:51:02.469 --> 00:51:03.849
fall<00:51:02.809><c> down</c><00:51:03.110><c> before</c><00:51:03.429><c> the</c><00:51:03.670><c> lamb,</c>

00:51:05.710 --> 00:51:07.769

which<00:51:09.690><c> are</c><00:51:09.869><c> the</c><00:51:10.110><c> prayers</c><00:51:10.449><c> of</c><00:51:10.750><c> saints.</c>

00:51:15.150 --> 00:51:18.260

00:51:22.309 --> 00:51:24.869
They<00:51:22.530><c> cried</c><00:51:22.909><c> with</c><00:51:23.150><c> a</c><00:51:23.250><c> loud</c><00:51:23.449><c> voice.</c>

00:51:25.170 --> 00:51:26.530
How<00:51:25.309><c> long,</c><00:51:25.869><c> O</c><00:51:26.230><c> Lord,</c>

00:51:27.590 --> 00:51:30.210
dost<00:51:27.710><c> thou</c><00:51:27.949><c> not</c><00:51:28.210><c> judge</c><00:51:28.510><c> and</c><00:51:28.730><c> avenge</c><00:51:29.070><c> our</c><00:51:29.309><c> blood</c><00:51:29.550><c> on</c><00:51:29.769><c> them</c>

00:51:30.210 --> 00:51:32.190
that<00:51:30.610><c> dwell</c><00:51:30.730><c> on</c><00:51:30.949><c> the</c><00:51:31.150><c> earth?</c>

00:51:34.070 --> 00:51:35.809
And<00:51:34.409><c> God</c><00:51:34.630><c> says,</c>

00:51:36.610 --> 00:51:38.989
of<00:51:36.730><c> course</c><00:51:37.070><c> I</c><00:51:37.250><c> will</c><00:51:37.449><c> avenge</c><00:51:37.809><c> it.</c>

00:51:39.929 --> 00:51:43.369
And<00:51:40.190><c> so</c><00:51:40.449><c> the</c><00:51:41.329><c> judgments</c><00:51:41.849><c> begin</c><00:51:42.289><c> to</c><00:51:42.590><c> fall.</c>

00:51:43.670 --> 00:51:46.449
And<00:51:43.869><c> they</c><00:51:44.030><c> fall</c><00:51:44.170><c> first</c><00:51:44.530><c> of</c><00:51:44.670><c> all</c><00:51:44.809><c> on</c><00:51:45.570><c> pagan</c><00:51:45.849><c> Rome.</c>

00:51:51.170 --> 00:51:53.010
Another<00:51:51.610><c> angel</c><00:51:51.929><c> came</c><00:51:52.250><c> and</c><00:51:52.449><c> stood</c><00:51:52.590><c> at</c><00:51:52.730><c> the</c><00:51:52.869><c> altar</c>

00:51:53.010 --> 00:51:54.030

00:51:55.349 --> 00:51:56.429
that<00:51:55.489><c> he</c><00:51:55.610><c> should</c><00:51:55.750><c> offer</c><00:51:55.989><c> it</c>

00:51:56.429 --> 00:51:57.969
with<00:51:56.690><c> the</c><00:51:56.929><c> prayers</c><00:51:57.070><c> of</c><00:51:57.329><c> all</c><00:51:57.590><c> saints</c>

00:51:57.969 --> 00:51:58.889
upon<00:51:58.210><c> the</c><00:51:58.389><c> golden</c><00:51:58.650><c> altar</c>

00:51:58.889 --> 00:51:59.969
which<00:51:59.050><c> was</c><00:51:59.230><c> before</c><00:51:59.510><c> the</c><00:51:59.730><c> throne.</c>

00:52:00.449 --> 00:52:01.489
And<00:52:00.610><c> the</c><00:52:00.829><c> smoke</c><00:52:00.949><c> of</c><00:52:01.130><c> the</c><00:52:01.309><c> incense</c>

00:52:01.489 --> 00:52:03.070
which<00:52:01.769><c> came</c><00:52:02.030><c> with</c><00:52:02.210><c> the</c><00:52:02.409><c> prayers</c><00:52:02.550><c> of</c><00:52:02.710><c> the</c><00:52:02.849><c> saints</c>

00:52:03.070 --> 00:52:04.210
ascended<00:52:03.489><c> up</c><00:52:03.690><c> before</c><00:52:03.969><c> God</c>

00:52:04.210 --> 00:52:06.170
out<00:52:04.429><c> of</c><00:52:04.550><c> the</c><00:52:04.789><c> angel's</c><00:52:05.230><c> hand.</c>

00:52:06.349 --> 00:52:07.550
And<00:52:06.550><c> the</c><00:52:06.670><c> angel</c><00:52:06.789><c> took</c><00:52:06.989><c> the</c><00:52:07.250><c> censer</c>

00:52:07.550 --> 00:52:09.090
and<00:52:07.849><c> filled</c><00:52:07.989><c> it</c><00:52:08.150><c> with</c><00:52:08.329><c> fire</c><00:52:08.610><c> of</c><00:52:08.769><c> the</c><00:52:08.909><c> altar</c>

00:52:09.090 --> 00:52:10.510
and<00:52:09.309><c> cast</c><00:52:09.530><c> it</c><00:52:09.730><c> into</c><00:52:09.889><c> the</c><00:52:10.150><c> earth.</c>

00:52:10.750 --> 00:52:12.170
And<00:52:10.949><c> what</c><00:52:11.130><c> happens?</c>

00:52:12.690 --> 00:52:15.050
Well,<00:52:13.070><c> here</c><00:52:13.230><c> is</c><00:52:13.429><c> God</c><00:52:13.730><c> acting</c><00:52:14.150><c> in</c><00:52:14.469><c> response</c>

00:52:15.050 --> 00:52:17.090
to<00:52:15.309><c> the</c><00:52:15.590><c> prayers</c><00:52:15.789><c> of</c><00:52:16.010><c> the</c><00:52:16.150><c> saints.</c>

00:52:22.309 --> 00:52:23.929
Voices,<00:52:22.869><c> thunderings,</c>

00:52:24.530 --> 00:52:26.550
lightnings,<00:52:25.250><c> an</c><00:52:25.369><c> earthquake.</c>

00:52:27.090 --> 00:52:28.849
Think<00:52:27.250><c> of</c><00:52:27.369><c> the</c><00:52:27.590><c> pattern</c><00:52:27.849><c> that</c><00:52:28.030><c> we</c><00:52:28.230><c> saw</c>

00:52:28.849 --> 00:52:30.889
yesterday<00:52:29.530><c> in</c><00:52:29.789><c> Joshua.</c>

00:52:31.610 --> 00:52:34.909
And<00:52:31.769><c> that</c><00:52:32.349><c> pattern</c><00:52:32.690><c> was</c><00:52:32.889><c> going</c><00:52:33.050><c> to</c><00:52:33.190><c> be</c><00:52:33.349><c> there,</c><00:52:33.590><c> wasn't</c><00:52:33.809><c> it?</c>

00:52:34.929 --> 00:52:36.010
Right<00:52:35.230><c> at</c><00:52:35.389><c> the</c><00:52:35.570><c> end,</c>

00:52:36.349 --> 00:52:39.090
when<00:52:36.630><c> you're</c><00:52:36.929><c> told</c><00:52:37.230><c> to</c><00:52:37.510><c> shout,</c><00:52:38.210><c> shout!</c>

00:52:39.670 --> 00:52:41.210
And<00:52:40.130><c> the</c><00:52:40.309><c> walls</c><00:52:40.530><c> will</c><00:52:40.730><c> come</c><00:52:40.989><c> down.</c>

00:52:41.329 --> 00:52:43.610
There<00:52:41.449><c> was</c><00:52:41.610><c> a</c><00:52:41.809><c> part</c><00:52:42.030><c> that</c><00:52:42.210><c> they</c><00:52:42.349><c> like</c><00:52:42.550><c> to</c><00:52:42.809><c> play.</c>

00:52:44.829 --> 00:52:47.570
So<00:52:45.389><c> that</c><00:52:45.949><c> section</c><00:52:46.590><c> in</c><00:52:46.969><c> Revelation</c>

00:52:47.570 --> 00:52:51.989
is<00:52:48.429><c> critical,</c><00:52:49.809><c> critical</c><00:52:50.309><c> to</c><00:52:50.510><c> the</c><00:52:50.610><c> rest</c><00:52:50.849><c> of</c><00:52:51.030><c> the</c><00:52:51.130><c> book.</c>

00:52:52.989 --> 00:52:55.150
Each<00:52:53.289><c> letter</c><00:52:53.489><c> follows</c><00:52:53.769><c> the</c><00:52:54.010><c> same</c><00:52:54.210><c> pattern.</c>

00:52:57.489 --> 00:52:59.429
The<00:52:57.750><c> introduction</c><00:52:58.369><c> reminds</c>

00:52:59.429 --> 00:53:01.329
those<00:53:00.030><c> who</c><00:53:00.429><c> receive</c><00:53:00.670><c> the</c><00:53:00.869><c> letter</c>

00:53:01.329 --> 00:53:04.170
of<00:53:02.210><c> their</c><00:53:02.469><c> destiny,</c><00:53:03.150><c> their</c><00:53:03.329><c> ultimate</c><00:53:03.789><c> destiny</c>

00:53:04.170 --> 00:53:05.949
if<00:53:04.329><c> they</c><00:53:04.630><c> remain</c><00:53:04.849><c> true</c><00:53:05.130><c> to</c><00:53:05.309><c> the</c><00:53:05.449><c> things</c><00:53:05.630><c> of</c><00:53:05.849><c> God.</c>

00:53:06.050 --> 00:53:07.929
It<00:53:06.250><c> contains</c><00:53:06.409><c> aspects</c><00:53:07.130><c> of</c><00:53:07.329><c> that</c>

00:53:07.929 --> 00:53:08.909
son<00:53:08.210><c> of</c><00:53:08.389><c> man</c><00:53:08.610><c> vision,</c>

00:53:08.989 --> 00:53:10.690
which<00:53:09.110><c> is</c><00:53:09.309><c> a</c><00:53:09.409><c> vision</c><00:53:09.769><c> of</c><00:53:10.170><c> themselves</c>

00:53:10.690 --> 00:53:13.210
united<00:53:11.289><c> in</c><00:53:11.590><c> glory</c><00:53:11.869><c> with</c><00:53:12.070><c> the</c><00:53:12.190><c> Lord</c><00:53:12.369><c> Jesus</c><00:53:12.789><c> Christ,</c>

00:53:13.210 --> 00:53:14.769
the<00:53:13.969><c> Bride</c><00:53:14.190><c> of</c><00:53:14.449><c> Christ</c>

00:53:14.769 --> 00:53:17.150
ultimately<00:53:15.389><c> brought</c><00:53:15.730><c> to</c><00:53:15.929><c> his</c><00:53:16.230><c> son.</c>

00:53:17.389 --> 00:53:19.690
And<00:53:17.929><c> the</c><00:53:18.090><c> only</c><00:53:18.329><c> way</c><00:53:18.570><c> that</c><00:53:18.750><c> can</c><00:53:18.909><c> be</c><00:53:19.230><c> achieved</c>

00:53:19.690 --> 00:53:23.110
is<00:53:19.869><c> if</c><00:53:20.030><c> we</c><00:53:20.289><c> apply</c><00:53:20.849><c> those</c><00:53:21.210><c> next</c><00:53:21.670><c> four</c><00:53:21.989><c> points.</c>

00:53:23.670 --> 00:53:25.429
We<00:53:23.929><c> try</c><00:53:24.130><c> and</c><00:53:24.190><c> have</c><00:53:24.309><c> the</c><00:53:24.590><c> mind</c><00:53:24.829><c> of</c><00:53:25.130><c> Christ</c>

00:53:25.429 --> 00:53:28.510
to<00:53:25.690><c> make</c><00:53:25.849><c> a</c><00:53:26.250><c> true</c><00:53:26.570><c> and</c><00:53:26.929><c> right</c><00:53:27.190><c> assessment.</c>

00:53:28.670 --> 00:53:31.429
If<00:53:28.869><c> we</c><00:53:29.010><c> open</c><00:53:29.329><c> ourselves</c><00:53:29.829><c> up</c><00:53:30.170><c> to</c><00:53:30.349><c> the</c><00:53:30.530><c> Word</c><00:53:30.710><c> of</c><00:53:30.989><c> God</c>

00:53:31.429 --> 00:53:33.550
that<00:53:31.869><c> allowed</c><00:53:32.489><c> the</c><00:53:32.849><c> two</c><00:53:32.989><c>-edged</c><00:53:33.329><c> sword</c>

00:53:35.730 --> 00:53:36.710
there<00:53:35.889><c> will</c><00:53:36.050><c> be</c><00:53:36.269><c> assessments,</c>

00:53:36.909 --> 00:53:38.070
there<00:53:37.010><c> will</c><00:53:37.230><c> be</c><00:53:37.429><c> disapproval,</c>

00:53:38.150 --> 00:53:39.989
there<00:53:38.329><c> will</c><00:53:38.570><c> be</c><00:53:38.750><c> a</c><00:53:38.949><c> warning.</c>

00:53:41.090 --> 00:53:43.889
But<00:53:41.690><c> thankfully</c><00:53:42.289><c> there's</c><00:53:42.550><c> a</c><00:53:42.789><c> promise.</c>

00:53:45.829 --> 00:53:46.989
And<00:53:45.829><c> to</c><00:53:46.070><c> those</c><00:53:46.309><c> who</c><00:53:46.610><c> overcome,</c>

00:53:47.170 --> 00:53:49.909
