And<00:16:52.570><c> the</c><00:16:52.789><c> Lord</c><00:16:53.769><c> appeared</c><00:16:55.529><c> unto</c><00:16:57.370><c> Abraham.</c>

00:17:02.009 --> 00:17:05.170
So<00:17:02.809><c> there's</c><00:17:03.049><c> a</c><00:17:03.210><c> revelation</c><00:17:03.710><c> here.</c>

00:17:08.049 --> 00:17:10.329
Remember<00:17:08.750><c> when</c><00:17:09.450><c> Miriam</c>

00:17:17.210 --> 00:17:20.029
You<00:17:17.369><c> will</c><00:17:17.609><c> recall</c><00:17:18.170><c> that</c><00:17:18.849><c> moment.</c>

00:17:56.849 --> 00:17:59.630
God<00:17:57.069><c> fashioned</c><00:17:57.490><c> it</c><00:17:57.950><c> and</c><00:17:58.109><c> had</c><00:17:58.210><c> it</c><00:17:58.390><c> in</c><00:17:58.470><c> that</c><00:17:58.789><c> place</c><00:17:59.089><c> and</c><00:17:59.490><c> carried</c>

00:18:19.809 --> 00:18:23.470
here<00:18:20.269><c> as</c><00:18:20.549><c> far</c><00:18:20.730><c> as</c><00:18:21.210><c> this</c><00:18:21.410><c> land.</c><00:18:22.470><c> We</c><00:18:22.750><c> know</c><00:18:22.970><c> that</c><00:18:23.150><c> from</c><00:18:23.289><c> the</c>

00:18:26.569 --> 00:18:31.049
When<00:18:27.230><c> the</c><00:18:27.569><c> Lord</c><00:18:27.890><c> appeared,</c><00:18:28.789><c> notice</c><00:18:28.990><c> that</c><00:18:29.230><c> he</c><00:18:29.450><c> appeared,</c>

00:18:32.730 --> 00:18:39.450
he<00:18:32.970><c> made</c><00:18:33.250><c> himself</c><00:18:33.930><c> manifest</c><00:18:35.269><c> unto</c><00:18:36.630><c> Abraham</c><00:18:37.150><c> in</c><00:18:38.150><c> this</c><00:18:38.390><c> place.</c>

00:18:41.589 --> 00:18:45.930
This<00:18:41.769><c> would</c><00:18:41.970><c> be</c><00:18:42.910><c> the</c><00:18:43.250><c> angel</c><00:18:43.630><c> of</c><00:18:43.890><c> the</c><00:18:44.009><c> Lord.</c><00:18:45.109><c> No</c><00:18:45.309><c> man</c><00:18:45.509><c> has</c><00:18:45.710><c> seen</c>

00:18:49.930 --> 00:18:54.569
So<00:18:50.410><c> we</c><00:18:50.690><c> have</c><00:18:50.990><c> the</c><00:18:51.710><c> beginnings</c><00:18:52.109><c> of</c><00:18:52.529><c> our</c><00:18:52.769><c> understanding</c><00:18:53.549><c> of</c><00:18:54.309><c> the</c>

00:18:58.390 --> 00:19:00.470
But<00:18:58.529><c> this</c><00:18:58.670><c> isn't</c><00:18:58.869><c> the</c><00:18:59.029><c> manifestation</c><00:18:59.369><c> of</c><00:18:59.730><c> God,</c><00:19:00.089><c> is</c><00:19:00.150><c> it?</c><00:19:00.269><c> This</c>

00:19:07.930 --> 00:19:12.450

And<00:19:16.369><c> the</c><00:19:16.450><c> name</c><00:19:16.609><c> was</c><00:19:16.890><c> known</c><00:19:17.269><c> at</c><00:19:17.470><c> this</c><00:19:17.710><c> time.</c><00:19:19.490><c> It</c><00:19:19.930><c> hadn't</c><00:19:20.069><c> opened</c>

00:22:49.849 --> 00:22:54.769

00:22:57.789 --> 00:23:00.970
what<00:22:57.910><c> Abraham</c><00:22:58.109><c> did</c><00:22:58.950><c> in</c><00:22:59.630><c> this</c><00:22:59.890><c> place.</c>

00:23:09.009 --> 00:23:11.049
Wherever<00:23:09.269><c> Abraham</c><00:23:09.650><c> went</c><00:23:09.849><c> he</c><00:23:09.990><c> took</c><00:23:10.089><c> his</c><00:23:10.289><c> altar</c><00:23:10.490><c> with</c><00:23:10.750><c> him.</c>

00:23:11.190 --> 00:23:15.890
He<00:23:11.250><c> didn't</c><00:23:11.450><c> carry</c><00:23:11.670><c> the</c><00:23:11.890><c> actual</c><00:23:12.289><c> stones,</c><00:23:13.869><c> but</c><00:23:14.269><c> he</c><00:23:15.089><c> carried</c><00:23:15.450><c> with</c><00:23:15.690><c> him</c>

00:23:19.029 --> 00:23:22.950
And<00:23:19.450><c> then</c><00:23:19.829><c> he</c><00:23:20.029><c> expressed</c><00:23:20.690><c> it</c><00:23:20.910><c> in</c><00:23:20.990><c> what</c><00:23:21.150><c> he</c><00:23:21.250><c> had</c><00:23:21.430><c> to</c><00:23:21.710><c> do</c><00:23:22.130><c> according</c><00:23:22.529><c> to</c><00:23:22.730><c> the</c>

And<00:23:25.089><c> that</c><00:23:25.309><c> was</c><00:23:25.609><c> by</c><00:23:26.269><c> means</c><00:23:26.509><c> of</c><00:23:26.690><c> an</c><00:23:26.890><c> altar</c><00:23:27.049><c> and</c><00:23:27.289><c> by</c><00:23:27.490><c> means</c><00:23:27.630><c> of</c><00:23:27.930><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:23:30.210 --> 00:23:32.190

00:23:33.450 --> 00:23:35.210
Wherever<00:23:33.650><c> we</c><00:23:33.869><c> go</c><00:23:33.990><c> we've</c><00:23:34.150><c> got</c><00:23:34.230><c> to</c><00:23:34.369><c> take</c><00:23:34.490><c> our</c><00:23:34.690><c> altar</c><00:23:34.890><c> with</c><00:23:35.109><c> us.</c>

00:23:35.269 --> 00:23:36.869

00:23:40.029 --> 00:23:43.089
They<00:23:40.190><c> want</c><00:23:40.250><c> to</c><00:23:40.369><c> do</c><00:23:40.410><c> other</c><00:23:40.630><c> things,</c><00:23:42.450><c> hoping</c><00:23:42.670><c> their</c><00:23:42.849><c> altar</c><00:23:43.009><c> is</c>

00:23:43.089 --> 00:23:45.150
going<00:23:43.190><c> to</c><00:23:43.269><c> be</c><00:23:43.410><c> alright</c><00:23:43.549><c> when</c><00:23:43.670><c> they</c><00:23:43.789><c> get</c><00:23:43.990><c> back.</c>

00:23:46.309 --> 00:23:51.589
Now<00:23:46.710><c> you</c><00:23:46.710><c> can't</c><00:23:47.309><c> dispose</c><00:23:47.829><c> and</c><00:23:48.130><c> separate</c><00:23:48.529><c> yourself</c><00:23:49.130><c> from</c><00:23:50.329><c> the</c>

00:23:53.089 --> 00:23:56.190
For<00:23:53.150><c> the</c><00:23:53.309><c> altar</c><00:23:53.490><c> is</c><00:23:53.650><c> Christ.</c><00:23:54.490><c> He</c><00:23:54.490><c> says</c><00:23:54.589><c> Hebrews</c><00:23:54.809><c> 13.</c>

00:23:57.170 --> 00:23:59.569
You<00:23:57.269><c> can't</c><00:23:57.450><c> leave</c><00:23:57.609><c> Christ</c><00:23:57.869><c> at</c><00:23:58.089><c> home.</c>

00:24:00.690 --> 00:24:01.750
Girls<00:24:00.809><c> do</c><00:24:01.009><c> this</c><00:24:01.150><c> for</c><00:24:01.289><c> their</c><00:24:01.430><c> wedding.</c>

00:24:02.170 --> 00:24:03.890
They<00:24:02.289><c> get</c><00:24:02.450><c> all</c><00:24:02.869><c> dolled</c><00:24:03.109><c> up</c><00:24:03.190><c> for</c><00:24:03.289><c> their</c><00:24:03.509><c> wedding</c><00:24:03.670><c> and</c><00:24:03.769><c> they</c>

00:24:03.890 --> 00:24:05.670
don't<00:24:04.009><c> have</c><00:24:04.190><c> Christ</c><00:24:04.509><c> there.</c>

00:24:06.829 --> 00:24:08.490
Because<00:24:07.230><c> they</c><00:24:07.349><c> don't</c><00:24:07.509><c> think</c><00:24:07.690><c> about</c><00:24:07.930><c> him.</c>

00:24:08.930 --> 00:24:11.150
They<00:24:09.049><c> think</c><00:24:09.150><c> about</c><00:24:09.269><c> all</c><00:24:09.430><c> the</c><00:24:09.549><c> other</c><00:24:09.750><c> things</c><00:24:10.069><c> that</c><00:24:10.230><c> they</c><00:24:10.809><c> imagine</c><00:24:10.990><c> have</c>

00:24:11.150 --> 00:24:12.750

00:24:12.750 --> 00:24:16.150
And<00:24:12.869><c> then</c><00:24:13.170><c> perhaps</c><00:24:13.829><c> we'll</c><00:24:13.990><c> think</c><00:24:14.089><c> of</c><00:24:14.190><c> the</c><00:24:14.250><c> Lord</c><00:24:14.430><c> Jesus</c><00:24:14.769><c> Christ.</c>

00:24:16.930 --> 00:24:19.430
Now<00:24:17.210><c> we've</c><00:24:17.369><c> got</c><00:24:17.450><c> to</c><00:24:17.650><c> have</c><00:24:17.650><c> our</c><00:24:17.869><c> altar</c><00:24:18.049><c> right</c><00:24:18.509><c> in</c><00:24:18.730><c> the</c><00:24:19.049><c> center.</c>

00:24:19.490 --> 00:24:21.829
That's<00:24:19.809><c> the</c><00:24:19.890><c> whole</c><00:24:20.269><c> lesson</c><00:24:20.589><c> that's</c><00:24:20.869><c> here.</c>

00:24:23.430 --> 00:24:25.750
We<00:24:23.549><c> should</c><00:24:23.650><c> not</c><00:24:23.730><c> get</c><00:24:23.849><c> a</c><00:24:24.029><c> vision</c><00:24:24.210><c> of</c><00:24:24.369><c> God</c><00:24:24.569><c> by</c><00:24:24.890><c> direct</c><00:24:25.250><c> revelation.</c>

00:24:25.829 --> 00:24:28.009
But<00:24:25.910><c> we</c><00:24:26.029><c> should</c><00:24:26.190><c> certainly</c><00:24:26.410><c> get</c><00:24:26.589><c> a</c><00:24:26.710><c> vision</c><00:24:26.849><c> of</c><00:24:27.029><c> God</c><00:24:27.430><c> through</c>

the<00:24:59.069><c> Lord</c><00:24:59.470><c> who</c><00:24:59.710><c> appeared</c><00:24:59.990><c> unto</c><00:25:00.269><c> him.</c>

00:25:00.750 --> 00:25:05.809
Or<00:25:01.190><c> he</c><00:25:02.150><c> built</c><00:25:02.329><c> the</c><00:25:02.650><c> altar</c><00:25:03.089><c> unto</c><00:25:03.829><c> the</c><00:25:04.170><c> Lord</c><00:25:04.569><c> who</c><00:25:04.890><c> appeared</c><00:25:05.109><c> unto</c><00:25:05.369><c> him.</c>

00:25:06.109 --> 00:25:08.190
So<00:25:06.210><c> it</c><00:25:06.269><c> was</c><00:25:06.430><c> an</c><00:25:06.589><c> altar</c><00:25:06.730><c> that</c><00:25:06.849><c> was</c><00:25:07.009><c> given</c><00:25:07.190><c> a</c><00:25:07.349><c> name.</c>

00:25:09.690 --> 00:25:14.470
That<00:25:10.089><c> altar</c><00:25:10.450><c> was</c><00:25:10.750><c> for</c><00:25:10.950><c> the</c><00:25:11.089><c> Lord.</c><00:25:12.109><c> It</c><00:25:12.369><c> bore</c><00:25:12.529><c> the</c><00:25:12.769><c> covenant</c><00:25:13.009><c> name</c><00:25:13.269><c> of</c><00:25:13.490><c> God.</c>

00:25:14.809 --> 00:25:18.509
Not<00:25:14.990><c> yet</c><00:25:15.210><c> in</c><00:25:15.390><c> all</c><00:25:15.630><c> its</c><00:25:15.910><c> brilliant</c><00:25:16.410><c> fullness</c><00:25:17.009><c> that</c><00:25:17.789><c> would</c><00:25:17.950><c> emerge</c><00:25:18.289><c> when</c>

00:25:18.509 --> 00:25:21.049
God<00:25:18.789><c> made</c><00:25:18.990><c> himself</c><00:25:19.390><c> the</c><00:25:19.609><c> God</c><00:25:19.730><c> of</c><00:25:19.890><c> the</c><00:25:20.049><c> nation.</c>

00:25:21.470 --> 00:25:25.309
But<00:25:21.630><c> he</c><00:25:21.670><c> is</c><00:25:21.849><c> the</c><00:25:21.970><c> God</c><00:25:22.069><c> of</c><00:25:22.269><c> Abraham.</c><00:25:23.430><c> He</c><00:25:23.609><c> had</c><00:25:23.769><c> to</c><00:25:23.930><c> be</c><00:25:24.029><c> the</c><00:25:24.109><c> God</c><00:25:24.269><c> of</c><00:25:24.490><c> Abraham.</c>

00:25:25.890 --> 00:25:27.910
Because<00:25:26.089><c> the</c><00:25:26.250><c> only</c><00:25:26.430><c> God</c><00:25:26.609><c> that</c><00:25:26.750><c> will</c><00:25:26.930><c> raise</c><00:25:27.109><c> from</c><00:25:27.309><c> the</c><00:25:27.490><c> dead</c><00:25:27.609><c> is</c>

00:25:27.910 --> 00:25:29.910
the<00:25:28.109><c> God</c><00:25:28.269><c> of</c><00:25:28.410><c> the</c><00:25:28.529><c> covenant</c><00:25:28.750><c> name.</c>

00:25:30.609 --> 00:25:34.309

doesn't<00:25:34.569><c> do</c><00:25:34.750><c> it.</c>

00:25:36.230 --> 00:25:38.809
And<00:25:36.710><c> so</c><00:25:36.930><c> Abraham</c><00:25:37.170><c> was</c><00:25:37.349><c> in</c><00:25:37.470><c> that</c><00:25:37.710><c> name.</c>

00:25:39.569 --> 00:25:49.230
And<00:25:39.730><c> so</c><00:25:39.809><c> this</c><00:25:40.029><c> altar</c><00:25:40.250><c> was</c><00:25:41.890><c> everything</c><00:25:42.569><c> that</c><00:25:45.569><c> was</c><00:25:45.769><c> in</c><00:25:45.910><c> Abraham's</c><00:25:46.309><c> heart</c><00:25:47.069><c> and</c><00:25:48.329><c> that</c><00:25:48.450><c> was</c><00:25:48.589><c> now</c><00:25:48.829><c> planted</c><00:25:49.049><c> in</c>

00:25:49.230 --> 00:25:50.750
the<00:25:49.410><c> land.</c>

00:25:51.809 --> 00:25:56.589
We're<00:25:51.910><c> getting</c><00:25:52.069><c> the</c><00:25:52.309><c> things</c><00:25:52.630><c> concerning</c><00:25:53.150><c> the</c><00:25:53.369><c> kingdom</c><00:25:53.569><c> of</c><00:25:53.789><c> God</c><00:25:54.430><c> and</c><00:25:56.109><c> the</c><00:25:56.250><c> name</c><00:25:56.410><c> of</c>

00:25:56.589 --> 00:25:59.869
Jesus<00:25:56.890><c> Christ</c><00:25:58.150><c> brought</c><00:25:58.849><c> together.</c>

00:26:00.730 --> 00:26:02.650
This<00:26:01.130><c> is</c><00:26:01.450><c> the</c><00:26:01.630><c> gospel.</c>

00:26:04.390 --> 00:26:06.910
And<00:26:04.529><c> right</c><00:26:04.630><c> at</c><00:26:04.789><c> the</c><00:26:04.910><c> heart</c><00:26:05.029><c> of</c><00:26:05.190><c> the</c><00:26:05.289><c> gospel</c><00:26:05.609><c> there</c><00:26:05.789><c> is</c><00:26:05.950><c> an</c><00:26:06.170><c> altar.</c>

00:26:08.430 --> 00:26:11.549
And<00:26:08.630><c> that</c><00:26:08.769><c> altar</c><00:26:08.970><c> is</c><00:26:09.130><c> the</c><00:26:09.309><c> sacrifice</c><00:26:09.730><c> of</c><00:26:09.910><c> the</c><00:26:10.009><c> Lord</c><00:26:10.170><c> Jesus</c><00:26:10.450><c> Christ.</c>

00:26:12.430 --> 00:26:14.950
And<00:26:12.569><c> there</c><00:26:12.650><c> will</c><00:26:12.730><c> be</c><00:26:12.849><c> no</c><00:26:13.049><c> land</c><00:26:13.369><c> without</c><00:26:13.650><c> the</c><00:26:13.950><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:26:16.589 --> 00:26:19.130
There<00:26:16.750><c> will</c><00:26:16.869><c> be</c><00:26:16.990><c> no</c><00:26:17.230><c> crown</c><00:26:17.609><c> without</c><00:26:18.009><c> Calvary.</c>

00:26:20.490 --> 00:26:22.990
There<00:26:20.630><c> will</c><00:26:20.730><c> be</c><00:26:20.869><c> no</c><00:26:21.089><c> Abraham</c><00:26:21.450><c> in</c><00:26:21.630><c> the</c><00:26:21.750><c> kingdom</c><00:26:21.910><c> of</c><00:26:22.190><c> God.</c>

00:26:22.990 --> 00:26:26.329
We're<00:26:23.990><c> not</c><00:26:24.109><c> Christ</c><00:26:24.430><c> himself.</c>

00:26:26.710 --> 00:26:28.390

So<00:26:29.930><c> there</c><00:26:30.089><c> then</c><00:26:30.230><c> is</c><00:26:30.410><c> our</c><00:26:30.650><c> gentle</c><00:26:31.130><c> beginning.</c>

00:26:40.890 --> 00:26:43.390
And<00:26:41.029><c> we</c><00:26:41.130><c> can</c><00:26:41.289><c> learn</c><00:26:41.450><c> a</c><00:26:41.569><c> little</c><00:26:41.650><c> more</c><00:26:41.890><c> as</c><00:26:42.069><c> we</c><00:26:42.230><c> move</c><00:26:42.430><c> on.</c>

00:26:43.990 --> 00:26:48.349

00:26:56.789 --> 00:26:58.329
You'll<00:26:56.910><c> be</c><00:26:57.069><c> surprised</c><00:26:57.289><c> the</c><00:26:57.430><c> people</c><00:26:57.650><c> who</c><00:26:57.789><c> come</c><00:26:57.910><c> to</c><00:26:58.089><c> Shechem.</c>

Shechem,<00:27:34.690><c> the</c><00:27:34.950><c> town,</c><00:27:35.930><c> was</c><00:27:36.150><c> not</c><00:27:36.329><c> built</c><00:27:36.609><c> yet.</c>

00:27:38.490 --> 00:27:39.789
You<00:27:38.670><c> see</c><00:27:38.730><c> what</c><00:27:38.890><c> it</c><00:27:39.109><c> says</c><00:27:39.269><c> there?</c>

00:27:40.210 --> 00:27:41.910
Or<00:27:40.329><c> didn't</c><00:27:40.509><c> we</c><00:27:40.690><c> read</c><00:27:40.910><c> carefully?</c>

00:27:43.130 --> 00:27:45.690
I<00:27:43.490><c> suppose</c><00:27:43.769><c> we</c><00:27:43.930><c> didn't.</c>

00:27:46.490 --> 00:27:50.109
It<00:27:46.890><c> doesn't</c><00:27:47.089><c> say</c><00:27:47.289><c> he</c><00:27:47.369><c> came</c><00:27:47.609><c> to</c><00:27:47.809><c> Shechem,</c><00:27:48.109><c> does</c><00:27:48.289><c> it?</c>

00:27:52.150 --> 00:27:56.329
It<00:27:52.210><c> said</c><00:27:52.289><c> he</c><00:27:52.369><c> came</c><00:27:52.569><c> to</c><00:27:52.710><c> the</c><00:27:53.029><c> place</c><00:27:53.789><c> of</c><00:27:55.029><c> Shechem.</c>

00:27:57.329 --> 00:27:59.849
So<00:27:57.410><c> maybe</c><00:27:57.589><c> at</c><00:27:57.730><c> this</c><00:27:57.890><c> time</c><00:27:58.049><c> there</c><00:27:58.150><c> was</c><00:27:58.289><c> no</c><00:27:58.509><c> city</c><00:27:58.750><c> there.</c>

00:28:00.450 --> 00:28:02.289
It<00:28:00.650><c> was</c><00:28:00.890><c> a</c><00:28:01.109><c> place.</c>

00:28:04.009 --> 00:28:08.490
Not<00:28:04.230><c> yet</c><00:28:04.450><c> opened</c><00:28:04.630><c> out</c><00:28:04.890><c> into</c><00:28:05.150><c> all</c><00:28:05.369><c> its</c><00:28:06.990><c> later</c><00:28:07.250><c> history.</c>

00:28:08.950 --> 00:28:10.089
But<00:28:09.109><c> just</c><00:28:09.289><c> the</c><00:28:09.549><c> seeds</c><00:28:09.750><c> of</c><00:28:09.970><c> it.</c>

00:28:10.190 --> 00:28:12.670
But<00:28:10.309><c> be</c><00:28:10.430><c> that</c><00:28:10.569><c> as</c><00:28:10.710><c> it</c><00:28:10.890><c> may,</c><00:28:11.150><c> and</c><00:28:11.289><c> it</c><00:28:11.390><c> isn't</c><00:28:11.650><c> clear</c><00:28:12.089><c> whether</c><00:28:12.349><c> there</c><00:28:12.509><c> was</c>

00:28:12.670 --> 00:28:13.650
an<00:28:12.789><c> actual</c><00:28:13.130><c> place</c><00:28:13.450><c> there.</c>

00:28:13.650 --> 00:28:17.910
I<00:28:14.170><c> doubt</c><00:28:14.369><c> whether</c><00:28:14.670><c> this</c><00:28:14.950><c> man,</c><00:28:15.150><c> Abram,</c><00:28:15.930><c> came</c><00:28:16.210><c> to</c><00:28:16.750><c> a</c><00:28:16.990><c> place</c><00:28:17.269><c> as</c><00:28:17.630><c> such.</c>

00:28:17.990 --> 00:28:21.950
He's<00:28:18.289><c> a</c><00:28:18.410><c> pilgrim,</c><00:28:19.009><c> and</c><00:28:19.150><c> he</c><00:28:19.230><c> keeps</c><00:28:19.430><c> himself</c><00:28:20.210><c> marvelously</c><00:28:21.289><c> separate</c><00:28:21.730><c> in</c>

00:28:21.950 --> 00:28:23.329
all<00:28:22.130><c> his</c><00:28:22.329><c> ways.</c>

00:28:23.569 --> 00:28:24.829
He's<00:28:23.789><c> a</c><00:28:23.950><c> man,</c><00:28:24.369><c> really.</c>

00:28:25.009 --> 00:28:27.950
He's<00:28:25.490><c> a</c><00:28:25.710><c> giant</c><00:28:26.029><c> amongst</c><00:28:26.349><c> men</c><00:28:26.549><c> of</c><00:28:26.869><c> faith.</c>

00:28:28.410 --> 00:28:33.369
And<00:28:28.970><c> he</c><00:28:29.089><c> can</c><00:28:29.250><c> live</c><00:28:30.309><c> the</c><00:28:31.369><c> right</c><00:28:31.589><c> life</c><00:28:32.049><c> when</c><00:28:32.210><c> he's</c><00:28:32.470><c> alone.</c>

00:28:36.049 --> 00:28:38.970
He's<00:28:36.269><c> teaching</c><00:28:36.569><c> lot,</c><00:28:37.369><c> step</c><00:28:37.589><c> by</c><00:28:37.869><c> step.</c>

00:28:40.250 --> 00:28:42.529
And<00:28:40.470><c> Sarah's</c><00:28:40.769><c> going</c><00:28:40.970><c> with</c><00:28:41.170><c> him.</c>

00:28:43.650 --> 00:28:50.190
She<00:28:43.970><c> doesn't</c><00:28:44.250><c> emerge</c><00:28:44.670><c> yet,</c><00:28:45.150><c> and</c><00:28:46.490><c> it's</c><00:28:47.470><c> later</c><00:28:47.710><c> on</c><00:28:47.910><c> that</c><00:28:48.009><c> she</c><00:28:48.210><c> emerges.</c>

00:28:50.930 --> 00:28:54.490
It's<00:28:51.029><c> not</c><00:28:51.109><c> until</c><00:28:51.309><c> chapter</c><00:28:51.609><c> 17</c><00:28:52.170><c> that</c><00:28:52.369><c> it's</c><00:28:52.930><c> totally</c><00:28:53.349><c> clear</c><00:28:53.890><c> how</c>

00:28:54.490 --> 00:28:56.890
things<00:28:54.750><c> are</c><00:28:54.930><c> going</c><00:28:55.029><c> to</c><00:28:55.250><c> work</c><00:28:55.470><c> out.</c>

00:28:58.789 --> 00:29:02.529
And<00:28:58.950><c> that</c><00:28:59.210><c> Sarah</c><00:28:59.490><c> is</c><00:28:59.750><c> to</c><00:28:59.849><c> be</c><00:28:59.990><c> the</c><00:29:00.109><c> mother</c><00:29:00.490><c> of</c><00:29:01.450><c> the</c><00:29:01.690><c> seed.</c>

00:29:02.630 --> 00:29:04.329
It's<00:29:02.710><c> only</c><00:29:02.890><c> then</c><00:29:03.109><c> that</c><00:29:03.210><c> it's</c><00:29:03.430><c> mentioned.</c>

00:29:04.930 --> 00:29:08.349
It<00:29:05.450><c> develops</c><00:29:05.970><c> as</c><00:29:06.430><c> we</c><00:29:06.589><c> go</c><00:29:06.769><c> along</c><00:29:07.049><c> through</c><00:29:07.230><c> those</c><00:29:07.450><c> wonderful</c><00:29:07.809><c> chapters</c><00:29:08.130><c> of</c>

00:29:10.170 --> 00:29:16.029
Leading<00:29:11.089><c> us</c><00:29:11.309><c> onwards</c><00:29:11.609><c> to</c><00:29:11.829><c> chapter</c><00:29:12.029><c> 22,</c><00:29:12.930><c> which</c><00:29:12.930><c> is</c><00:29:13.150><c> the</c><00:29:13.670><c> culmination</c><00:29:14.470><c> of</c><00:29:14.670><c> this</c><00:29:15.309><c> revelation</c><00:29:15.769><c> of</c>

00:29:16.029 --> 00:29:17.849
God<00:29:16.230><c> to</c><00:29:16.470><c> Abram.</c>

00:29:17.930 --> 00:29:22.250
We're<00:29:18.029><c> going</c><00:29:18.130><c> now</c><00:29:18.369><c> to</c><00:29:18.569><c> his</c><00:29:20.349><c> grandson.</c>

00:29:24.470 --> 00:29:26.210
We're<00:29:24.829><c> going</c><00:29:24.910><c> to</c><00:29:25.130><c> Jacob.</c>

00:29:27.269 --> 00:29:29.930
Now,<00:29:27.569><c> interestingly</c><00:29:27.809><c> enough,</c><00:29:28.069><c> Jacob</c><00:29:28.430><c> is</c><00:29:28.710><c> the</c><00:29:28.869><c> man</c><00:29:29.109><c> who</c><00:29:29.730><c> goes</c>

00:29:29.930 --> 00:29:31.470
back<00:29:30.170><c> to</c><00:29:30.390><c> Haran.</c>

00:29:32.609 --> 00:29:36.549
And<00:29:32.809><c> spends</c><00:29:32.930><c> a</c><00:29:33.230><c> long</c><00:29:33.529><c> time</c><00:29:33.890><c> there,</c><00:29:34.230><c> all</c><00:29:34.569><c> those</c><00:29:34.809><c> years,</c><00:29:35.410><c> with</c><00:29:35.589><c> Laban.</c>

00:29:38.349 --> 00:29:43.890
And<00:29:38.930><c> finally</c><00:29:39.190><c> comes</c><00:29:39.410><c> into</c><00:29:39.609><c> the</c><00:29:39.869><c> land</c><00:29:40.109><c> again,</c><00:29:41.250><c> when</c><00:29:42.130><c> God</c><00:29:42.369><c> tells</c><00:29:42.690><c> him.</c>

00:29:44.569 --> 00:29:48.089
And<00:29:44.710><c> brings</c><00:29:44.890><c> with</c><00:29:45.089><c> him</c><00:29:45.390><c> his</c><00:29:45.630><c> two</c><00:29:45.910><c> wives,</c><00:29:46.589><c> Rachel</c><00:29:46.809><c> and</c><00:29:47.150><c> Leah.</c>

And<00:29:50.069><c> the</c><00:29:50.190><c> 11</c><00:29:50.430><c> children,</c><00:29:51.250><c> 12</c><00:29:51.710><c> if</c><00:29:51.890><c> you</c><00:29:52.089><c> count</c><00:29:52.309><c> Dinah.</c>

00:29:53.869 --> 00:29:57.269
And<00:29:54.009><c> they're</c><00:29:56.190><c> there.</c>

00:29:58.509 --> 00:30:00.829
They're<00:29:59.089><c> coming</c><00:29:59.410><c> down</c><00:29:59.990><c> in</c><00:30:00.190><c> their</c><00:30:00.390><c> journey.</c>

00:30:01.309 --> 00:30:04.369
They're<00:30:01.470><c> on</c><00:30:01.730><c> the</c><00:30:01.990><c> east</c><00:30:02.490><c> bank</c><00:30:02.849><c> of</c><00:30:03.069><c> the</c><00:30:03.150><c> River</c><00:30:03.410><c> Jordan.</c>

00:30:04.910 --> 00:30:11.730
And<00:30:05.390><c> there</c><00:30:05.630><c> are</c><00:30:07.529><c> some</c><00:30:07.990><c> major</c><00:30:09.029><c> water</c><00:30:09.849><c> courses</c><00:30:10.329><c> on</c><00:30:10.910><c> the</c><00:30:11.230><c> east</c><00:30:11.509><c> of</c>

00:30:12.890 --> 00:30:16.150
In<00:30:12.950><c> fact,</c><00:30:13.089><c> you</c><00:30:13.170><c> can</c><00:30:13.390><c> call</c><00:30:13.710><c> that</c><00:30:14.509><c> part</c><00:30:14.730><c> on</c><00:30:14.930><c> the</c><00:30:15.089><c> east</c><00:30:15.309><c> of</c><00:30:15.470><c> the</c><00:30:15.549><c> River</c><00:30:15.750><c> Jordan,</c><00:30:16.049><c> if</c>

00:30:18.569 --> 00:30:21.269
But<00:30:18.769><c> it's</c><00:30:18.950><c> over</c><00:30:19.130><c> the</c><00:30:19.329><c> water.</c><00:30:19.609><c> It's</c><00:30:19.809><c> over</c><00:30:20.009><c> the</c><00:30:20.170><c> River</c><00:30:20.390><c> Jordan.</c>

00:30:21.509 --> 00:30:25.289
This<00:30:21.690><c> is</c><00:30:22.150><c> the</c><00:30:22.430><c> area</c><00:30:23.069><c> that's</c><00:30:23.529><c> starting</c><00:30:23.710><c> in</c><00:30:23.930><c> the</c><00:30:24.069><c> south</c><00:30:24.329><c> is</c><00:30:24.869><c> Edom</c>

00:30:29.269 --> 00:30:31.730

00:30:31.730 --> 00:30:36.190
So,<00:30:32.390><c> looking</c><00:30:32.569><c> at</c><00:30:32.710><c> the</c><00:30:32.849><c> whole</c><00:30:33.170><c> map,</c><00:30:34.390><c> you</c><00:30:34.450><c> have</c><00:30:34.609><c> its</c><00:30:34.849><c> coastal</c><00:30:35.210><c> strip.</c>

He<00:33:17.630><c> had</c><00:33:17.849><c> the</c><00:33:18.049><c> vision</c><00:33:18.269><c> of</c><00:33:18.470><c> the</c><00:33:18.609><c> ladder</c><00:33:18.950><c> that</c><00:33:19.410><c> the</c><00:33:19.569><c> angels</c><00:33:19.750><c> of</c>

00:33:19.990 --> 00:33:21.750
God<00:33:20.170><c> are</c><00:33:20.369><c> sending</c><00:33:20.609><c> and</c><00:33:20.849><c> descending.</c>

00:33:22.690 --> 00:33:25.970
So,<00:33:22.950><c> the</c><00:33:23.109><c> angels</c><00:33:23.289><c> are</c><00:33:24.450><c> everywhere</c><00:33:24.910><c> present.</c>

00:33:27.509 --> 00:33:31.609
There<00:33:27.710><c> was</c><00:33:27.930><c> a</c><00:33:28.109><c> reason</c><00:33:28.250><c> for</c><00:33:28.450><c> that</c><00:33:28.650><c> and</c><00:33:29.329><c> a</c><00:33:29.670><c> reason</c><00:33:29.930><c> deep</c><00:33:30.569><c> in</c><00:33:31.329><c> the</c>

00:33:31.609 --> 00:33:33.769
experiences<00:33:31.930><c> of</c><00:33:32.130><c> Jacob,</c><00:33:32.569><c> no</c><00:33:32.710><c> doubt.</c>

00:33:34.609 --> 00:33:37.069
He<00:33:35.069><c> had</c><00:33:35.269><c> great</c><00:33:35.549><c> troubles.</c>

00:33:38.630 --> 00:33:41.710
And<00:33:38.789><c> right</c><00:33:38.910><c> through</c><00:33:39.069><c> the</c><00:33:39.289><c> prophets,</c><00:33:40.829><c> trouble</c><00:33:40.950><c> is</c><00:33:41.210><c> associated</c>

00:33:41.710 --> 00:33:42.849
with<00:33:41.990><c> Jacob.</c>

00:33:43.930 --> 00:33:48.990
In<00:33:44.109><c> fact,</c><00:33:44.289><c> it's</c><00:33:44.930><c> spoken</c><00:33:45.250><c> of</c><00:33:45.450><c> as</c><00:33:45.569><c> it</c><00:33:45.730><c> were</c><00:33:46.730><c> about</c><00:33:48.329><c> the</c><00:33:48.569><c> nation</c>

00:33:48.990 --> 00:33:52.410
that<00:33:49.230><c> God</c><00:33:49.509><c> will</c><00:33:49.970><c> deliver</c><00:33:50.289><c> Jacob</c><00:33:50.690><c> out</c><00:33:50.869><c> of</c><00:33:51.029><c> all</c><00:33:51.190><c> his</c><00:33:51.410><c> troubles.</c>

00:33:53.430 --> 00:33:56.849
And<00:33:53.690><c> when</c><00:33:53.789><c> we</c><00:33:53.950><c> have</c><00:33:54.049><c> great</c><00:33:54.309><c> troubles,</c><00:33:54.769><c> brethren</c><00:33:54.910><c> and</c><00:33:55.109><c> sisters,</c><00:33:55.349><c> in</c><00:33:55.569><c> life,</c>

00:33:58.309 --> 00:34:00.289
the<00:33:58.450><c> angels</c><00:33:58.650><c> of</c><00:33:58.849><c> God</c><00:33:58.970><c> are</c><00:33:59.190><c> always</c><00:33:59.410><c> about.</c>

00:34:02.750 --> 00:34:05.890
We<00:34:03.269><c> are</c><00:34:03.450><c> never</c><00:34:03.670><c> left</c><00:34:04.190><c> alone.</c>

00:34:07.809 --> 00:34:10.690
So,<00:34:07.910><c> if</c><00:34:07.990><c> you</c><00:34:08.050><c> think</c><00:34:08.190><c> you're</c><00:34:08.369><c> living</c><00:34:08.550><c> alone,</c><00:34:09.110><c> brother</c><00:34:09.309><c> or</c><00:34:09.610><c> sister,</c>

00:34:10.909 --> 00:34:14.010
when<00:34:11.070><c> you</c><00:34:11.230><c> enter</c><00:34:11.389><c> your</c><00:34:11.650><c> door,</c><00:34:13.250><c> there's</c><00:34:13.389><c> somebody</c><00:34:13.650><c> who's</c><00:34:13.829><c> gone</c>

00:34:14.010 --> 00:34:15.289
in<00:34:14.230><c> before</c><00:34:14.530><c> you.</c>

00:34:17.289 --> 00:34:19.969
God<00:34:17.489><c> never</c><00:34:17.730><c> leaves</c><00:34:18.010><c> his</c><00:34:18.309><c> children</c><00:34:18.710><c> alone.</c>

00:34:21.449 --> 00:34:24.050
The<00:34:21.610><c> angel</c><00:34:21.829><c> of</c><00:34:22.010><c> the</c><00:34:22.090><c> Lord</c><00:34:22.309><c> encampers</c><00:34:22.969><c> round</c><00:34:23.250><c> about</c><00:34:23.489><c> those</c><00:34:23.769><c> who</c>

00:34:24.050 --> 00:34:27.550
fear<00:34:24.250><c> him</c><00:34:25.449><c> and</c><00:34:25.989><c> delivereth</c><00:34:26.429><c> them.</c>

00:34:28.349 --> 00:34:32.150
Are<00:34:28.869><c> they</c><00:34:29.030><c> not</c><00:34:29.269><c> all</c><00:34:29.489><c> ministering</c><00:34:30.130><c> spirits</c><00:34:30.489><c> sent</c><00:34:30.869><c> forth</c><00:34:31.210><c> to</c><00:34:31.469><c> minister</c>

00:34:32.150 --> 00:34:34.809
to<00:34:33.130><c> them</c><00:34:33.329><c> who</c><00:34:33.489><c> should</c><00:34:33.650><c> be</c><00:34:33.809><c> heirs</c><00:34:34.050><c> of</c><00:34:34.309><c> salvation?</c>

00:34:34.909 --> 00:34:37.070
This<00:34:35.090><c> is</c><00:34:35.289><c> their</c><00:34:35.469><c> delight.</c>

00:34:37.650 --> 00:34:40.690
They're<00:34:37.929><c> longing</c><00:34:38.269><c> to</c><00:34:38.630><c> see</c><00:34:38.829><c> us</c><00:34:39.130><c> into</c><00:34:39.469><c> the</c><00:34:39.789><c> kingdom.</c>

00:34:40.789 --> 00:34:41.989
That's<00:34:41.170><c> their</c><00:34:41.409><c> work.</c>

00:34:42.309 --> 00:34:44.409
Then<00:34:42.650><c> they</c><00:34:42.869><c> hand</c><00:34:43.130><c> over.</c>

00:34:45.250 --> 00:34:47.250
For<00:34:45.389><c> the</c><00:34:45.570><c> age</c><00:34:45.730><c> to</c><00:34:45.949><c> come</c><00:34:46.070><c> has</c><00:34:46.269><c> not</c><00:34:46.409><c> been</c><00:34:46.570><c> put</c><00:34:46.730><c> into</c><00:34:46.909><c> the</c><00:34:47.110><c> hands</c>

00:34:47.250 --> 00:34:47.989
of<00:34:47.409><c> the</c><00:34:47.590><c> angels,</c>

00:34:48.150 --> 00:34:51.070
says<00:34:48.489><c> the</c><00:34:48.710><c> apostle</c><00:34:48.969><c> Paul</c><00:34:49.449><c> in</c><00:34:49.829><c> writing</c><00:34:50.110><c> about</c><00:34:50.389><c> this.</c>

00:34:51.550 --> 00:34:53.730
It's<00:34:51.809><c> put</c><00:34:51.989><c> into</c><00:34:52.090><c> the</c><00:34:52.250><c> hands</c><00:34:52.389><c> of</c><00:34:52.670><c> the</c><00:34:52.769><c> saints,</c><00:34:53.210><c> hasn't</c><00:34:53.429><c> it?</c>

00:34:53.730 --> 00:34:55.849
And<00:34:54.070><c> they</c><00:34:54.190><c> should</c><00:34:54.349><c> be</c><00:34:54.489><c> kings</c><00:34:54.769><c> and</c><00:34:55.030><c> priests</c><00:34:55.289><c> and</c><00:34:55.469><c> they</c><00:34:55.590><c> should</c>

00:34:55.849 --> 00:34:57.489
reign<00:34:56.150><c> with</c><00:34:56.369><c> Christ.</c>

00:34:57.610 --> 00:34:59.250
That's<00:34:57.869><c> how</c><00:34:57.969><c> it's</c><00:34:58.190><c> set</c><00:34:58.329><c> out</c><00:34:58.469><c> in</c><00:34:58.610><c> the</c><00:34:58.769><c> apocalypse.</c>

00:34:59.550 --> 00:35:02.449
So<00:34:59.710><c> meanwhile,</c><00:35:00.289><c> we</c><00:35:00.429><c> are</c><00:35:00.489><c> being</c><00:35:01.610><c> sheltered.</c>

00:35:02.489 --> 00:35:05.630
That<00:35:02.610><c> doesn't</c><00:35:02.829><c> mean</c><00:35:03.010><c> we're</c><00:35:03.250><c> delivered</c><00:35:03.809><c> from</c><00:35:04.889><c> evils</c>

00:35:05.630 --> 00:35:08.909
in<00:35:05.829><c> the</c><00:35:05.989><c> sense</c><00:35:06.250><c> that</c><00:35:06.849><c> we're</c><00:35:07.110><c> delivered</c><00:35:07.369><c> from</c><00:35:07.630><c> all</c><00:35:07.809><c> disease</c><00:35:08.610><c> or</c>

00:35:08.909 --> 00:35:09.670
even<00:35:09.130><c> from</c><00:35:09.449><c> death.</c>

00:35:09.690 --> 00:35:10.929
We're<00:35:09.989><c> not.</c>

00:35:11.010 --> 00:35:15.170
But<00:35:11.190><c> that</c><00:35:11.389><c> none</c><00:35:11.550><c> of</c><00:35:11.809><c> these</c><00:35:12.110><c> things</c><00:35:12.750><c> are</c><00:35:13.369><c> out</c><00:35:13.570><c> of</c><00:35:13.769><c> control.</c>

00:35:16.090 --> 00:35:19.010
They're<00:35:16.389><c> all</c><00:35:16.630><c> within</c><00:35:16.849><c> the</c><00:35:17.110><c> compass</c><00:35:17.449><c> of</c><00:35:17.710><c> God,</c><00:35:18.050><c> within</c><00:35:18.250><c> his</c><00:35:18.570><c> care.</c>

00:35:19.469 --> 00:35:21.949
There<00:35:19.590><c> was</c><00:35:19.730><c> a</c><00:35:19.889><c> moment</c><00:35:20.050><c> when</c><00:35:20.409><c> Moses</c><00:35:20.710><c> had</c><00:35:20.929><c> to</c><00:35:21.110><c> go</c><00:35:21.250><c> to</c><00:35:21.510><c> sleep.</c>

00:35:21.949 --> 00:35:26.710
His<00:35:22.969><c> eye</c><00:35:23.170><c> was</c><00:35:23.369><c> not</c><00:35:23.650><c> dimmed</c><00:35:23.949><c> and</c><00:35:24.090><c> his</c><00:35:24.610><c> strength</c><00:35:25.090><c> was</c><00:35:25.369><c> not</c><00:35:25.769><c> spent.</c>

00:35:26.829 --> 00:35:30.670
He<00:35:27.030><c> died</c><00:35:27.389><c> in</c><00:35:27.789><c> full</c><00:35:28.150><c> vigor,</c><00:35:28.550><c> even</c><00:35:28.949><c> though</c><00:35:29.130><c> he</c><00:35:29.190><c> was</c><00:35:29.389><c> 120.</c>

00:35:30.829 --> 00:35:33.849
But<00:35:31.070><c> there</c><00:35:31.230><c> was</c><00:35:31.389><c> a</c><00:35:31.610><c> time</c><00:35:32.170><c> when</c><00:35:32.809><c> that</c><00:35:33.010><c> had</c><00:35:33.150><c> to</c><00:35:33.349><c> take</c><00:35:33.570><c> place</c>

00:35:33.849 --> 00:35:35.730
and<00:35:33.969><c> it</c><00:35:34.070><c> will</c><00:35:34.170><c> happen</c><00:35:34.289><c> to</c><00:35:34.489><c> all</c><00:35:34.630><c> of</c><00:35:34.809><c> us.</c>

00:35:36.030 --> 00:35:37.750
It<00:35:36.210><c> must</c><00:35:36.530><c> happen.</c><00:35:36.829><c> That's</c><00:35:37.250><c> mortality.</c>

00:35:38.050 --> 00:35:40.690
Christ<00:35:38.349><c> came</c><00:35:38.610><c> to</c><00:35:38.909><c> deliver</c><00:35:39.130><c> us</c><00:35:39.349><c> from</c><00:35:39.550><c> this.</c>

00:35:42.230 --> 00:35:48.909
But<00:35:42.449><c> meanwhile,</c><00:35:42.829><c> on</c><00:35:43.050><c> the</c><00:35:43.210><c> way,</c><00:35:43.650><c> we</c><00:35:43.769><c> are</c><00:35:46.070><c> protected</c><00:35:46.610><c> by</c><00:35:47.050><c> the</c><00:35:47.230><c> host</c><00:35:47.469><c> of</c><00:35:47.730><c> God,</c>

00:35:49.909 --> 00:35:53.650
not<00:35:50.429><c> granted</c><00:35:50.949><c> visions</c><00:35:51.610><c> of</c><00:35:51.889><c> them</c><00:35:52.329><c> in</c><00:35:52.789><c> these</c><00:35:53.070><c> days</c>

00:35:53.650 --> 00:35:58.150
because<00:35:54.449><c> we've</c><00:35:54.769><c> seen</c><00:35:54.969><c> Christ</c><00:35:55.929><c> as</c><00:35:56.610><c> revealed</c><00:35:56.889><c> in</c><00:35:57.110><c> Scripture.</c>

00:35:58.329 --> 00:36:01.050

We're<00:38:44.989><c> all</c><00:38:45.170><c> the</c><00:38:45.369><c> same.</c>

00:38:46.710 --> 00:38:49.170

And<00:41:20.119><c> the</c><00:41:20.239><c> messengers</c><00:41:20.480><c> came</c><00:41:20.739><c> back</c><00:41:20.980><c> and</c><00:41:21.179><c> said,</c><00:41:21.719><c> Esau's</c><00:41:22.039><c> on</c><00:41:22.199><c> the</c>

00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:25.300
way<00:41:22.519><c> and</c><00:41:22.860><c> 400</c><00:41:23.559><c> armed</c><00:41:24.119><c> men.</c>

00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:31.639
So<00:41:28.780><c> there</c><00:41:28.940><c> they</c><00:41:29.199><c> were</c><00:41:29.559><c> in</c><00:41:29.920><c> verse</c><00:41:30.239><c> 6.</c>

00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:37.340
So<00:41:32.920><c> rather</c><00:41:33.340><c> than</c><00:41:34.500><c> Esau</c><00:41:34.980><c> arriving</c><00:41:35.699><c> in</c><00:41:36.179><c> quietness</c><00:41:36.800><c> and</c><00:41:37.000><c> with</c><00:41:37.159><c> a</c>

00:41:37.340 --> 00:41:38.940
spirit<00:41:37.519><c> of</c><00:41:37.760><c> reconciliation,</c>

00:41:38.980 --> 00:41:45.340
it<00:41:39.179><c> appears</c><00:41:39.559><c> that</c><00:41:39.760><c> now</c><00:41:40.039><c> he's</c><00:41:40.500><c> coming</c><00:41:40.739><c> on</c><00:41:41.000><c> 400</c><00:41:41.500><c> camels</c><00:41:42.699><c> with</c><00:41:44.159><c> men</c>

00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:49.000
against<00:41:46.179><c> Jacob</c><00:41:46.699><c> and</c><00:41:46.900><c> his</c><00:41:47.300><c> defenseless</c><00:41:47.920><c> household.</c>

00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:54.780
So<00:41:50.599><c> there</c><00:41:50.800><c> was</c><00:41:51.000><c> reason,</c><00:41:52.300><c> as</c><00:41:52.460><c> it</c><00:41:52.739><c> says</c><00:41:53.039><c> in</c><00:41:53.260><c> verse</c><00:41:53.480><c> 7.</c>

00:41:55.900 --> 00:42:03.940
Then<00:41:56.420><c> Jacob</c><00:41:56.940><c> was</c><00:41:58.579><c> greatly</c><00:41:58.960><c> afraid</c><00:41:59.880><c> and</c><00:42:02.300><c> distressed.</c>

00:42:04.500 --> 00:42:06.539
What's<00:42:04.980><c> he</c><00:42:05.119><c> going</c><00:42:05.320><c> to</c><00:42:05.559><c> do?</c>

00:42:07.420 --> 00:42:12.199
So<00:42:07.599><c> he</c><00:42:07.679><c> divides</c><00:42:07.880><c> up</c><00:42:08.059><c> his</c><00:42:10.039><c> flocks,</c><00:42:11.000><c> but</c><00:42:11.260><c> that's</c><00:42:11.519><c> not</c><00:42:11.780><c> how</c><00:42:12.019><c> he's</c>

00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:13.840
going<00:42:12.280><c> to</c><00:42:12.500><c> save</c><00:42:12.699><c> them.</c>

00:42:14.300 --> 00:42:17.840
He<00:42:14.480><c> calls</c><00:42:14.659><c> upon</c><00:42:14.860><c> something</c><00:42:15.119><c> that</c><00:42:15.739><c> Brother</c><00:42:16.000><c> Don</c><00:42:16.179><c> and</c><00:42:16.280><c> I</c><00:42:16.440><c> were</c><00:42:16.579><c> talking</c><00:42:16.800><c> about</c><00:42:17.019><c> last</c><00:42:17.300><c> evening</c><00:42:17.559><c> for</c><00:42:17.739><c> a</c>

00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:18.780
little<00:42:17.980><c> time.</c>

00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:23.500
In<00:42:20.880><c> verse</c><00:42:21.099><c> 10,</c><00:42:21.900><c> I</c><00:42:22.159><c> am</c><00:42:22.260><c> not</c><00:42:22.539><c> worthy.</c>

00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:26.260
Of<00:42:24.780><c> the</c><00:42:24.960><c> least.</c>

00:42:26.699 --> 00:42:29.860
Of<00:42:26.699><c> all</c><00:42:27.079><c> the</c><00:42:27.400><c> mercies</c><00:42:28.380><c> and</c><00:42:28.900><c> truth.</c>

00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:32.659
Those<00:42:31.019><c> are</c><00:42:31.179><c> the</c><00:42:31.280><c> covenant</c><00:42:31.500><c> words.</c>

00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:36.559
Those<00:42:32.960><c> are</c><00:42:33.079><c> picked</c><00:42:33.280><c> up</c><00:42:33.960><c> from</c><00:42:34.260><c> Abraham's</c><00:42:34.760><c> servant</c><00:42:34.940><c> in</c><00:42:35.119><c> chapter</c><00:42:35.340><c> 24.</c>

00:42:36.699 --> 00:42:38.760
And<00:42:36.800><c> they</c><00:42:36.980><c> carry</c><00:42:37.159><c> right</c><00:42:37.420><c> through</c><00:42:37.599><c> scripture.</c>

00:42:40.219 --> 00:42:42.280
And<00:42:40.340><c> they're</c><00:42:40.480><c> there</c><00:42:40.639><c> in</c><00:42:40.800><c> John</c><00:42:41.019><c> chapter</c><00:42:41.320><c> 1.</c>

00:42:42.780 --> 00:42:43.880
And<00:42:42.800><c> we</c><00:42:43.000><c> behold</c><00:42:43.219><c> his</c><00:42:43.500><c> glory.</c>

00:42:43.980 --> 00:42:46.440
The<00:42:44.159><c> glory</c><00:42:44.380><c> is</c><00:42:44.519><c> of</c><00:42:44.599><c> the</c><00:42:44.719><c> only</c><00:42:44.900><c> begotten</c><00:42:45.219><c> of</c><00:42:45.340><c> the</c><00:42:45.539><c> father,</c><00:42:46.280><c> full</c>

00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:48.639
of<00:42:47.460><c> grace,</c><00:42:48.159><c> mercies.</c>

00:42:48.860 --> 00:42:52.219
It's<00:42:49.380><c> the</c><00:42:49.500><c> chesed</c><00:42:49.880><c> word</c><00:42:50.239><c> which</c><00:42:50.480><c> we</c><00:42:50.940><c> were</c><00:42:51.039><c> discussing</c><00:42:51.480><c> last</c><00:42:51.960><c> evening.</c>

00:42:52.219 --> 00:42:53.920
That's<00:42:52.780><c> what's</c><00:42:53.139><c> implied</c><00:42:53.480><c> there.</c>

00:42:53.980 --> 00:42:55.519
And<00:42:54.360><c> truth.</c>

00:42:56.360 --> 00:43:00.719
Which,<00:42:56.960><c> as</c><00:42:57.000><c> Brother</c><00:42:57.199><c> Don</c><00:42:57.539><c> was</c><00:42:58.219><c> pointing</c><00:42:58.500><c> out,</c><00:42:58.820><c> was</c><00:42:58.980><c> then</c><00:42:59.179><c> in</c><00:42:59.780><c> Micah.</c>

00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:04.940
God<00:43:01.400><c> will</c><00:43:01.659><c> perform</c><00:43:02.340><c> the</c><00:43:02.599><c> mercy</c><00:43:02.900><c> to</c><00:43:03.300><c> Abraham</c><00:43:03.820><c> and</c><00:43:04.139><c> the</c><00:43:04.539><c> truth</c>

00:43:04.940 --> 00:43:05.840
unto<00:43:05.239><c> Jacob.</c>

00:43:06.139 --> 00:43:09.460
So<00:43:06.280><c> now</c><00:43:06.440><c> he</c><00:43:06.679><c> resorts</c><00:43:07.199><c> unto</c><00:43:07.780><c> the</c><00:43:08.059><c> prayer</c><00:43:08.360><c> to</c><00:43:08.639><c> the</c><00:43:08.820><c> covenant</c><00:43:09.039><c> God.</c>

00:43:09.699 --> 00:43:13.719
The<00:43:09.840><c> God</c><00:43:10.219><c> who</c><00:43:10.539><c> had</c><00:43:11.219><c> an</c><00:43:11.739><c> altar</c><00:43:11.980><c> built</c><00:43:12.179><c> to</c><00:43:12.380><c> him</c><00:43:12.519><c> in</c><00:43:12.739><c> Shechem.</c>

00:43:14.900 --> 00:43:16.719
And<00:43:15.099><c> seeks</c><00:43:15.380><c> the</c><00:43:15.619><c> blessing</c><00:43:15.900><c> of</c><00:43:16.719><c> God.</c>

00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:21.519
As<00:43:17.679><c> now</c><00:43:17.920><c> he</c><00:43:18.440><c> comes</c><00:43:18.719><c> to</c><00:43:18.960><c> pass</c><00:43:19.179><c> over</c><00:43:19.360><c> the</c><00:43:19.500><c> River</c><00:43:19.719><c> Jordan</c><00:43:20.260><c> with</c>

00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:22.699
all<00:43:21.739><c> his</c><00:43:21.920><c> family.</c>

00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:29.559
And<00:43:23.380><c> it's</c><00:43:23.559><c> then</c><00:43:24.059><c> that</c><00:43:24.340><c> the</c><00:43:24.500><c> Lord</c><00:43:25.559><c> sends</c><00:43:27.599><c> the</c><00:43:28.360><c> angel.</c>

00:43:30.659 --> 00:43:35.079
And<00:43:30.940><c> there</c><00:43:31.059><c> is</c><00:43:31.179><c> that</c><00:43:31.460><c> great</c><00:43:31.840><c> wrestling</c><00:43:32.420><c> throughout</c><00:43:32.960><c> the</c><00:43:33.219><c> night</c><00:43:33.539><c> until</c><00:43:33.840><c> the</c><00:43:34.159><c> dawn.</c>

00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:38.519
A<00:43:35.380><c> picture</c><00:43:35.639><c> that</c><00:43:35.840><c> you</c><00:43:36.000><c> can</c><00:43:36.400><c> open</c><00:43:36.639><c> out</c><00:43:36.880><c> into</c><00:43:37.559><c> the</c><00:43:37.840><c> life</c><00:43:38.019><c> of</c><00:43:38.239><c> every</c><00:43:38.400><c> one</c>

00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:38.820
of<00:43:38.659><c> us.</c>

00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:40.219
Every<00:43:39.320><c> man</c><00:43:39.519><c> is</c><00:43:39.800><c> afraid.</c>

00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:42.139
Every<00:43:40.760><c> man</c><00:43:40.960><c> is</c><00:43:41.260><c> afraid.</c>

00:43:42.300 --> 00:43:44.559
And<00:43:42.460><c> we've</c><00:43:42.719><c> finally</c><00:43:42.900><c> got</c><00:43:43.079><c> to</c><00:43:43.320><c> wrestle</c><00:43:43.519><c> with</c><00:43:43.760><c> our</c><00:43:44.019><c> fears.</c>

00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:47.199
That<00:43:45.219><c> they</c><00:43:45.380><c> might</c><00:43:45.599><c> be</c><00:43:45.920><c> resolved.</c>

00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:49.719
But<00:43:47.500><c> we've</c><00:43:47.719><c> got</c><00:43:47.800><c> to</c><00:43:47.940><c> do</c><00:43:48.019><c> it</c><00:43:48.139><c> by</c><00:43:48.260><c> means</c><00:43:48.400><c> of</c><00:43:48.780><c> prayer</c><00:43:49.099><c> and</c><00:43:49.360><c> trust</c>

00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:50.639
in<00:43:49.880><c> the</c><00:43:50.019><c> covenant</c><00:43:50.300><c> God.</c>

00:43:50.699 --> 00:43:53.519
The<00:43:50.760><c> God</c><00:43:50.900><c> of</c><00:43:51.099><c> mercy</c><00:43:51.559><c> and</c><00:43:51.960><c> the</c><00:43:52.019><c> God</c><00:43:52.179><c> of</c><00:43:52.500><c> truth.</c>

00:43:53.980 --> 00:43:55.840
And<00:43:54.059><c> the</c><00:43:54.219><c> truth</c><00:43:54.400><c> carries</c><00:43:54.699><c> right</c><00:43:54.940><c> through</c><00:43:55.139><c> scripture,</c><00:43:55.599><c> doesn't</c><00:43:55.699><c> it?</c>

00:43:55.860 --> 00:43:58.099
Because<00:43:56.079><c> it's</c><00:43:56.440><c> linked</c><00:43:56.719><c> with</c><00:43:56.920><c> the</c><00:43:57.119><c> amen.</c>

00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:01.079
It's<00:44:00.079><c> linked</c><00:44:00.300><c> with</c><00:44:00.500><c> the</c><00:44:00.679><c> amen.</c>

00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:03.340
The<00:44:01.659><c> very</c><00:44:01.940><c> word</c><00:44:02.260><c> amen.</c>

00:44:04.940 --> 00:44:07.800
So<00:44:05.460><c> that's</c><00:44:05.980><c> how</c><00:44:06.260><c> Jacob</c><00:44:06.780><c> enters</c><00:44:07.260><c> into</c><00:44:07.539><c> this.</c>

00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:11.699
He's<00:44:08.059><c> not</c><00:44:08.219><c> entering</c><00:44:08.420><c> into</c><00:44:08.940><c> it</c><00:44:09.119><c> by</c><00:44:09.679><c> strategy,</c><00:44:10.579><c> by</c><00:44:10.719><c> guile.</c>

00:44:12.420 --> 00:44:15.679
He's<00:44:12.860><c> entering</c><00:44:13.039><c> into</c><00:44:13.300><c> it</c><00:44:13.500><c> exercising</c><00:44:14.059><c> all</c><00:44:14.860><c> the</c><00:44:15.079><c> care</c><00:44:15.260><c> that</c><00:44:15.420><c> he</c>

00:44:16.860 --> 00:44:18.260
And<00:44:16.960><c> dividing</c><00:44:17.179><c> them</c><00:44:17.320><c> into</c><00:44:17.480><c> three</c><00:44:17.760><c> groups.</c>

00:44:18.519 --> 00:44:21.099
And<00:44:18.639><c> he's</c><00:44:18.719><c> going</c><00:44:18.860><c> to</c><00:44:19.039><c> do</c><00:44:19.219><c> that.</c>

00:44:21.219 --> 00:44:24.579
Cause<00:44:21.360><c> them</c><00:44:21.500><c> to</c><00:44:21.699><c> pass</c><00:44:21.880><c> over</c><00:44:22.900><c> the</c><00:44:23.679><c> River</c><00:44:23.920><c> Jabok.</c>

00:44:24.780 --> 00:44:27.559
And<00:44:25.079><c> then</c><00:44:25.440><c> to</c><00:44:25.699><c> encounter</c><00:44:26.380><c> Esau.</c>

00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:29.260
And<00:44:27.719><c> amongst</c><00:44:27.920><c> these</c><00:44:28.119><c> is</c><00:44:28.280><c> that</c><00:44:28.460><c> little</c><00:44:28.639><c> boy</c><00:44:28.860><c> Joseph.</c>

00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:30.159
He's<00:44:29.619><c> going</c><00:44:29.820><c> over.</c>

00:44:30.380 --> 00:44:32.119
Benjamin's<00:44:30.699><c> not</c><00:44:30.820><c> yet</c><00:44:31.059><c> born.</c>

00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:34.960
So<00:44:33.800><c> Joseph's</c><00:44:34.199><c> taking</c><00:44:34.340><c> all</c><00:44:34.579><c> this</c><00:44:34.739><c> in.</c>

00:44:34.980 --> 00:44:35.679
He's<00:44:35.219><c> got</c><00:44:35.380><c> two.</c>

00:44:35.780 --> 00:44:38.719
Because<00:44:35.940><c> by</c><00:44:36.159><c> the</c><00:44:36.199><c> time</c><00:44:36.539><c> he's</c><00:44:36.760><c> 17</c><00:44:37.059><c> he</c><00:44:37.139><c> never</c><00:44:37.360><c> sees</c><00:44:37.559><c> them</c><00:44:37.739><c> again.</c>

00:44:38.940 --> 00:44:41.719
Joseph<00:44:39.380><c> gets</c><00:44:39.619><c> all</c><00:44:39.780><c> his</c><00:44:39.940><c> instructions</c><00:44:40.340><c> as</c><00:44:40.519><c> a</c><00:44:40.539><c> young</c><00:44:40.719><c> man.</c>

00:44:46.340 --> 00:44:48.559
And<00:44:46.360><c> the</c><00:44:46.460><c> angel</c><00:44:46.659><c> of</c><00:44:46.820><c> the</c><00:44:46.880><c> Lord</c><00:44:47.119><c> and</c><00:44:47.860><c> Jacob</c><00:44:48.219><c> wrestle.</c>

00:44:48.719 --> 00:44:52.420
It's<00:44:48.920><c> not</c><00:44:49.139><c> part</c><00:44:49.480><c> of</c><00:44:49.699><c> our</c><00:44:50.179><c> account</c><00:44:50.639><c> to</c><00:44:51.199><c> go</c><00:44:51.400><c> into</c><00:44:51.820><c> the</c><00:44:52.199><c> meaning</c>

00:44:52.420 --> 00:44:53.559
of<00:44:52.659><c> this.</c>

00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:56.219
But<00:44:54.380><c> it's</c><00:44:54.599><c> certainly</c><00:44:54.760><c> a</c><00:44:55.019><c> wrestling</c><00:44:55.199><c> and</c><00:44:55.400><c> it's</c><00:44:55.559><c> the</c><00:44:55.739><c> time</c><00:44:56.000><c> of</c>

the<00:44:56.440><c> changing</c><00:44:56.760><c> of</c><00:44:57.000><c> the</c><00:44:57.239><c> name</c><00:44:57.860><c> of</c><00:44:58.719><c> Jacob.</c>

00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:02.000
There<00:44:59.420><c> it</c><00:44:59.619><c> is</c><00:45:00.280><c> in</c><00:45:01.039><c> verse</c><00:45:01.260><c> 22.</c>

Verse<00:45:02.480><c> 27.</c>

And<00:45:03.179><c> he</c><00:45:03.260><c> said</c><00:45:03.400><c> unto</c><00:45:03.579><c> him,</c><00:45:03.780><c> what</c><00:45:03.880><c> is</c><00:45:04.079><c> thy</c><00:45:04.219><c> name?</c>

00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:08.420
And<00:45:07.320><c> he</c><00:45:07.420><c> said</c><00:45:07.599><c> Jacob.</c>

00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:12.780
He<00:45:10.159><c> said</c><00:45:10.239><c> thy</c><00:45:10.400><c> name</c><00:45:10.639><c> shall</c><00:45:10.800><c> be</c><00:45:10.960><c> no</c><00:45:11.219><c> more</c><00:45:11.440><c> be</c><00:45:11.599><c> called</c><00:45:11.760><c> Jacob.</c>

00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:14.579
But<00:45:13.059><c> Israel.</c>

00:45:15.460 --> 00:45:18.420
For<00:45:15.539><c> as</c><00:45:15.800><c> a</c><00:45:16.039><c> prince</c><00:45:16.559><c> thou</c><00:45:16.820><c> hast</c><00:45:17.059><c> power</c><00:45:17.420><c> with</c><00:45:17.639><c> God.</c>

00:45:21.739 --> 00:45:23.820
And<00:45:22.260><c> with</c><00:45:22.539><c> men.</c>

00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:27.860
And<00:45:26.179><c> hast</c><00:45:26.460><c> prevailed.</c>

00:45:28.019 --> 00:45:30.440
So<00:45:28.199><c> here's</c><00:45:28.460><c> the</c><00:45:28.619><c> assurance</c><00:45:28.960><c> concerning</c><00:45:29.340><c> Esau.</c>

00:45:30.739 --> 00:45:32.460
It's<00:45:30.940><c> an</c><00:45:31.139><c> assurance</c><00:45:31.559><c> that's</c><00:45:31.860><c> been</c><00:45:32.059><c> given.</c>

00:45:32.460 --> 00:45:36.340
Despite<00:45:33.420><c> all</c><00:45:33.780><c> that</c><00:45:34.039><c> Laban</c><00:45:34.300><c> had</c><00:45:34.559><c> done</c><00:45:34.820><c> in</c><00:45:35.019><c> the</c><00:45:35.219><c> past.</c>

00:45:36.460 --> 00:45:38.150
He<00:45:36.500><c> had</c><00:45:36.719><c> prevailed</c><00:45:37.059><c> against</c><00:45:37.380><c> Laban.</c>

00:45:39.940 --> 00:45:42.780
And<00:45:40.019><c> now</c><00:45:40.159><c> as</c><00:45:40.280><c> he</c><00:45:40.360><c> comes</c><00:45:40.539><c> to</c><00:45:40.739><c> face</c><00:45:40.900><c> Esau</c><00:45:41.260><c> he</c><00:45:41.440><c> will</c><00:45:41.659><c> prevail.</c>

00:45:43.059 --> 00:45:44.210
You've<00:45:43.320><c> got</c><00:45:43.440><c> power.</c>

00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:45.380
You<00:45:44.340><c> see</c><00:45:44.400><c> this</c><00:45:44.579><c> word</c><00:45:44.800><c> here.</c>

00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:50.139
This<00:45:46.099><c> name</c><00:45:46.519><c> Israel</c><00:45:46.960><c> doesn't</c><00:45:47.260><c> just</c><00:45:47.679><c> mean</c><00:45:48.059><c> a</c><00:45:48.519><c> prince</c><00:45:48.880><c> with</c><00:45:49.159><c> God.</c>

00:45:51.380 --> 00:45:53.960
It<00:45:51.920><c> stems</c><00:45:52.300><c> from</c><00:45:53.179><c> contending.</c>

00:45:54.420 --> 00:45:55.989
That's<00:45:54.619><c> what</c><00:45:54.739><c> it</c><00:45:55.000><c> stems</c><00:45:55.219><c> from.</c>

00:45:57.710 --> 00:46:03.369
The<00:45:58.230><c> verb</c><00:45:58.590><c> means</c><00:45:59.309><c> to</c><00:45:59.909><c> contend</c><00:46:00.789><c> with</c><00:46:01.409><c> or</c><00:46:02.070><c> to</c><00:46:02.269><c> be</c><00:46:02.469><c> a</c><00:46:02.710><c> prince</c><00:46:03.010><c> with.</c>

00:46:03.630 --> 00:46:06.969
You<00:46:03.630><c> can</c><00:46:03.809><c> see</c><00:46:03.909><c> how</c><00:46:04.090><c> those</c><00:46:04.309><c> two</c><00:46:04.690><c> are</c><00:46:04.889><c> related</c><00:46:05.369><c> and</c><00:46:05.550><c> how</c><00:46:05.730><c> the</c><00:46:05.969><c> second</c><00:46:06.369><c> was</c>

00:46:06.969 --> 00:46:08.110
drawn<00:46:07.190><c> from</c><00:46:07.429><c> the</c><00:46:07.670><c> first.</c>

00:46:08.429 --> 00:46:10.889
The<00:46:08.449><c> man</c><00:46:08.630><c> who</c><00:46:08.849><c> prevailed</c><00:46:09.349><c> was</c><00:46:09.489><c> the</c><00:46:09.730><c> prince.</c>

00:46:10.929 --> 00:46:12.449
As<00:46:11.150><c> is</c><00:46:11.329><c> the</c><00:46:11.449><c> Lord</c><00:46:11.590><c> Jesus</c><00:46:11.829><c> Christ.</c>

00:46:12.949 --> 00:46:14.269
So<00:46:13.070><c> the</c><00:46:13.170><c> two</c><00:46:13.309><c> things</c><00:46:13.489><c> are</c><00:46:13.690><c> together</c><00:46:13.969><c> here.</c>

00:46:14.369 --> 00:46:19.869
And<00:46:14.489><c> Jacob's</c><00:46:14.889><c> name,</c><00:46:15.769><c> the</c><00:46:15.949><c> supplanter,</c><00:46:16.989><c> now</c><00:46:17.170><c> becomes</c><00:46:17.570><c> the</c><00:46:18.070><c> contender,</c><00:46:18.650><c> the</c><00:46:18.789><c> victor.</c>

00:46:20.230 --> 00:46:22.070
A<00:46:20.449><c> prince</c><00:46:20.789><c> with</c><00:46:21.070><c> God.</c>

00:46:22.269 --> 00:46:23.630
It's<00:46:22.610><c> the</c><00:46:22.670><c> name</c><00:46:22.849><c> of</c><00:46:23.030><c> Jesus.</c>

00:46:23.630 --> 00:46:25.269
Isn't<00:46:24.369><c> it?</c><00:46:24.530><c> In</c><00:46:24.710><c> another</c><00:46:24.889><c> form.</c>

00:46:25.329 --> 00:46:26.349
It<00:46:25.449><c> is</c><00:46:25.550><c> the</c><00:46:25.650><c> name</c><00:46:25.829><c> of</c><00:46:26.030><c> Jesus.</c>

00:46:26.489 --> 00:46:27.949
The<00:46:26.690><c> great</c><00:46:27.010><c> contender.</c>

00:46:28.449 --> 00:46:31.570
The<00:46:28.510><c> one</c><00:46:28.650><c> who</c><00:46:28.750><c> would</c><00:46:28.909><c> fulfill</c><00:46:29.309><c> Genesis</c><00:46:29.630><c> 3</c><00:46:29.909><c>.15.</c>

00:46:33.750 --> 00:46:36.349
And<00:46:33.929><c> overcome</c><00:46:34.250><c> sin</c><00:46:34.670><c> and</c><00:46:34.909><c> death.</c>

00:46:37.150 --> 00:46:39.849
And<00:46:37.230><c> now</c><00:46:37.329><c> being</c><00:46:37.570><c> highly</c><00:46:37.849><c> exalted</c><00:46:38.289><c> and</c><00:46:38.469><c> be</c><00:46:38.610><c> a</c><00:46:38.789><c> prince.</c>

00:46:41.170 --> 00:46:42.829
The<00:46:41.329><c> prince</c><00:46:41.489><c> of</c><00:46:41.710><c> peace.</c>

00:46:44.570 --> 00:46:47.369
And<00:46:44.690><c> so</c><00:46:44.769><c> the</c><00:46:44.949><c> angel</c><00:46:45.110><c> disappears</c><00:46:45.650><c> and</c><00:46:45.869><c> leaves</c><00:46:46.050><c> Jacob</c><00:46:46.369><c> behind.</c>

00:46:48.449 --> 00:46:51.610
Is<00:46:48.590><c> Jacob</c><00:46:48.829><c> better</c><00:46:49.090><c> than</c><00:46:49.230><c> he</c><00:46:49.409><c> was</c><00:46:49.650><c> or</c><00:46:49.809><c> is</c><00:46:49.949><c> he</c><00:46:50.110><c> worse</c><00:46:50.389><c> than</c><00:46:50.570><c> he</c><00:46:50.750><c> was?</c>

00:46:52.030 --> 00:46:54.489
Physically<00:46:52.510><c> he's</c><00:46:52.710><c> worse</c><00:46:52.949><c> than</c><00:46:53.130><c> he</c><00:46:53.309><c> was.</c>

00:46:54.929 --> 00:46:56.050
He's<00:46:55.170><c> lame.</c>

00:46:57.269 --> 00:46:59.389

00:47:37.789 --> 00:47:41.510
Now<00:47:37.989><c> just</c><00:47:38.130><c> think</c><00:47:38.369><c> of</c><00:47:38.610><c> four</c><00:47:38.789><c> hundred</c><00:47:39.070><c> men</c><00:47:39.869><c> riding</c><00:47:40.690><c> on</c><00:47:41.030><c> camels,</c>

00:48:06.250 --> 00:48:10.190

But<00:48:21.489><c> Esau's</c><00:48:22.010><c> hand</c><00:48:22.289><c> can</c><00:48:22.489><c> be</c><00:48:22.570><c> upon</c><00:48:23.190><c> the</c><00:48:23.510><c> hilt</c><00:48:23.650><c> of</c><00:48:23.769><c> his</c><00:48:24.030><c> sword.</c>

00:48:25.429 --> 00:48:28.690

00:48:39.949 --> 00:48:42.070
Esau<00:48:40.170><c> embraces</c><00:48:40.610><c> his</c><00:48:40.809><c> brother.</c>
