00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:36.220

00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:59.419
Well,<00:14:57.879><c> there</c><00:14:58.019><c> is</c><00:14:58.200><c> only</c><00:14:58.440><c> one.</c>

00:23:59.539 --> 00:24:05.039
That<00:23:59.759><c> seems</c><00:24:00.099><c> to</c><00:24:00.319><c> be</c><00:24:00.599><c> a</c><00:24:00.940><c> deliberate</c><00:24:01.420><c> attempt</c><00:24:02.039><c> to</c><00:24:02.839><c> challenge</c><00:24:03.359><c> the</c><00:24:03.759><c> symbolism</c><00:24:04.299><c> of</c><00:24:04.599><c> Scripture</c>

00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:11.740
Ironically,<00:24:09.980><c> of</c><00:24:10.119><c> course,</c><00:24:10.759><c> it</c><00:24:10.920><c> goes</c><00:24:11.160><c> against</c><00:24:11.559><c> them.</c>

00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:14.900
By<00:24:11.960><c> applying</c><00:24:12.380><c> Revelation</c><00:24:12.940><c> chapter</c><00:24:13.240><c> 12</c><00:24:13.599><c> to</c><00:24:13.779><c> themselves,</c><00:24:14.400><c> which</c><00:24:14.539><c> the</c>

00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:18.039

00:24:18.099 --> 00:24:21.660
Yes,<00:24:18.279><c> it</c><00:24:18.420><c> does</c><00:24:18.700><c> apply</c><00:24:19.059><c> to</c><00:24:19.240><c> them,</c><00:24:19.680><c> but</c><00:24:19.960><c> not</c><00:24:20.099><c> in</c><00:24:20.299><c> the</c><00:24:20.400><c> way</c><00:24:20.500><c> they</c><00:24:20.839><c> think.</c>

00:24:23.740 --> 00:24:26.779
