00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:51.660
the<00:20:48.059><c> temple</c><00:20:48.240><c> wasn't</c><00:20:48.579><c> destroyed</c><00:20:49.160><c> until</c><00:20:49.519><c> 585.</c><00:20:50.940><c> So</c><00:20:51.220><c> really</c><00:20:51.559><c> we</c>

00:20:51.660 --> 00:20:55.339
can't<00:20:52.200><c> start</c><00:20:52.440><c> the</c><00:20:52.740><c> temple</c><00:20:52.940><c> until</c><00:20:53.240><c> 515.</c><00:20:54.819><c> So</c><00:20:54.960><c> they</c><00:20:55.200><c> said</c>

00:20:55.339 --> 00:20:59.039
there's<00:20:55.839><c> actually</c><00:20:56.220><c> two</c><00:20:56.579><c> 70</c><00:20:56.940><c>-year</c><00:20:57.140><c> periods</c><00:20:57.599><c> going</c><00:20:57.920><c> here</c><00:20:58.460><c> and</c>

00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:01.640
it's<00:20:59.259><c> the</c><00:20:59.500><c> second</c><00:20:59.700><c> one</c><00:20:59.859><c> we</c><00:21:00.000><c> have</c><00:21:00.220><c> to</c><00:21:00.400><c> wait</c><00:21:00.700><c> for.</c>

00:21:02.779 --> 00:21:08.700
So<00:21:03.259><c> until</c><00:21:03.700><c> 515,</c><00:21:04.400><c> they</c><00:21:04.680><c> said,</c><00:21:04.960><c> we</c><00:21:05.160><c> will</c><00:21:05.900><c> go</c><00:21:06.400><c> home</c><00:21:06.660><c> and</c><00:21:06.839><c> build</c><00:21:06.960><c> our</c><00:21:07.220><c> houses.</c><00:21:07.680><c> And</c><00:21:07.740><c> that's</c><00:21:07.940><c> why</c><00:21:07.940><c> God</c><00:21:08.140><c> was</c><00:21:08.420><c> so</c>

00:21:08.700 --> 00:21:09.059
upset<00:21:08.940><c> with</c>

00:21:09.059 --> 00:21:12.660
them<00:21:09.220><c> because</c><00:21:09.980><c> you</c><00:21:10.279><c> see</c><00:21:10.440><c> their</c><00:21:10.619><c> houses</c><00:21:10.920><c> was</c><00:21:11.180><c> destroyed</c><00:21:11.519><c> in</c><00:21:11.799><c> 585</c><00:21:12.359><c> as</c>

00:21:12.660 --> 00:21:15.160
well.<00:21:13.859><c> So</c><00:21:13.940><c> if</c><00:21:14.079><c> you</c><00:21:14.160><c> can't</c><00:21:14.480><c> build</c><00:21:14.619><c> the</c><00:21:14.759><c> temple</c><00:21:14.940><c> of</c>

00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.140
God,<00:21:15.380><c> you</c><00:21:15.440><c> can't</c><00:21:15.779><c> build</c><00:21:15.920><c> your</c><00:21:16.119><c> own</c><00:21:16.299><c> houses.</c><00:21:18.039><c> And</c><00:21:18.339><c> that's</c><00:21:18.940><c> why</c>

00:21:19.140 --> 00:21:21.680
they<00:21:19.400><c> said</c><00:21:19.619><c> the</c><00:21:19.940><c> time</c><00:21:20.279><c> is</c><00:21:20.480><c> not</c><00:21:20.759><c> right.</c><00:21:21.039><c> The</c><00:21:21.180><c> time</c><00:21:21.460><c> is</c>

00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:24.720
not<00:21:21.920><c> right.</c><00:21:22.400><c> And</c><00:21:22.480><c> they</c><00:21:22.740><c> justified</c><00:21:23.259><c> their</c><00:21:23.640><c> apathy</c><00:21:23.880><c> and</c><00:21:24.079><c> indifference</c><00:21:24.420><c> of</c><00:21:24.579><c> the</c>

00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:27.059
house<00:21:24.920><c> of</c><00:21:25.160><c> God</c><00:21:25.839><c> by</c><00:21:26.579><c> appealing</c><00:21:26.859><c> to</c>

00:21:27.059 --> 00:21:30.579
70<00:21:27.440><c> years</c><00:21:28.359><c> as</c><00:21:28.779><c> saying</c><00:21:28.940><c> the</c><00:21:29.160><c> time</c><00:21:29.380><c> is</c><00:21:30.400><c> not</c><00:21:30.400><c> right.</c><00:21:30.420><c> But</c><00:21:30.460><c> there</c>

00:21:30.579 --> 00:21:33.279
was<00:21:30.779><c> much</c><00:21:31.019><c> wrong</c><00:21:31.259><c> with</c><00:21:31.460><c> the</c><00:21:31.599><c> spirit</c><00:21:31.819><c> of</c><00:21:32.000><c> those</c><00:21:32.240><c> using</c><00:21:32.539><c> it.</c>

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:35.599
And<00:21:34.000><c> we</c><00:21:34.099><c> ought</c><00:21:34.200><c> never</c><00:21:34.339><c> to</c><00:21:34.640><c> justify,</c><00:21:35.180><c> brethren</c><00:21:35.240><c> and</c><00:21:35.500><c> sisters,</c>

00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:38.680
indifference,<00:21:36.859><c> slackness</c><00:21:37.279><c> on</c><00:21:37.480><c> the</c><00:21:37.640><c> basis</c>

00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:43.400
of<00:21:39.519><c> the</c><00:21:39.680><c> words</c><00:21:39.880><c> of</c><00:21:40.059><c> God.</c><00:21:41.740><c> And</c><00:21:41.920><c> you</c><00:21:42.019><c> hear</c><00:21:42.160><c> sometimes</c><00:21:42.559><c> people</c><00:21:42.839><c> saying,</c><00:21:43.180><c> well,</c><00:21:43.299><c> we</c>

00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:44.220
really<00:21:43.660><c> shouldn't</c><00:21:43.900><c> start</c>

00:21:44.220 --> 00:21:47.180
this<00:21:44.500><c> project.</c><00:21:45.200><c> It's</c><00:21:45.640><c> really</c><00:21:45.920><c> no</c><00:21:46.160><c> good</c><00:21:46.299><c> planning</c><00:21:46.640><c> ahead</c><00:21:46.960><c> for</c>

00:21:47.180 --> 00:21:48.859
Bible<00:21:47.519><c> schools</c><00:21:47.859><c> or</c><00:21:48.059><c> building</c><00:21:48.359><c> halls</c>

00:21:48.859 --> 00:21:52.880
because<00:21:49.539><c> the</c><00:21:49.740><c> Lord</c><00:21:49.859><c> might</c><00:21:50.099><c> be</c><00:21:50.279><c> here</c><00:21:50.400><c> tomorrow.</c><00:21:51.779><c> If</c><00:21:52.259><c> that's</c><00:21:52.599><c> used</c><00:21:52.660><c> as</c>

00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:54.019
an<00:21:52.960><c> excuse</c><00:21:53.200><c> to</c><00:21:53.380><c> do</c><00:21:53.539><c> nothing,</c>

00:21:54.019 --> 00:21:56.779
then<00:21:54.640><c> we've</c><00:21:54.859><c> got</c><00:21:54.960><c> a</c><00:21:55.059><c> problem</c><00:21:55.319><c> with</c><00:21:55.559><c> God</c><00:21:55.799><c> because</c><00:21:56.200><c> the</c><00:21:56.440><c> time</c><00:21:56.619><c> is</c>

00:21:56.779 --> 00:21:58.599
always<00:21:57.200><c> right</c><00:21:57.400><c> to</c><00:21:57.559><c> do</c><00:21:57.680><c> the</c><00:21:57.819><c> work</c><00:21:57.960><c> of</c><00:21:58.200><c> God</c>

00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:01.900
and<00:21:59.279><c> to</c><00:21:59.519><c> plan</c><00:21:59.700><c> and</c><00:21:59.859><c> to</c><00:22:00.019><c> build</c><00:22:00.200><c> and</c><00:22:00.420><c> to</c><00:22:00.980><c> try</c><00:22:01.180><c> and</c><00:22:01.420><c> make</c><00:22:01.559><c> things</c>

00:22:01.900 --> 00:22:03.140
better<00:22:02.180><c> for</c><00:22:02.400><c> God.</c>

00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:08.900
So<00:22:05.900><c> they</c><00:22:06.079><c> justified</c><00:22:06.599><c> their</c><00:22:06.859><c> apathy</c><00:22:07.240><c> and</c><00:22:07.559><c> they</c><00:22:07.740><c> did</c><00:22:07.880><c> nothing.</c>

00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:12.619
And<00:22:09.700><c> then</c><00:22:09.880><c> came</c><00:22:10.119><c> the</c><00:22:10.339><c> revival</c><00:22:10.680><c> in</c><00:22:10.880><c> the</c><00:22:10.980><c> year</c><00:22:11.220><c> 520</c>

00:22:13.460 --> 00:22:18.839
