00:00:36.820 --> 00:00:42.039

00:00:42.899 --> 00:00:46.880
But<00:00:43.100><c> it's</c><00:00:44.200><c> wonderful</c><00:00:44.640><c> to</c><00:00:44.799><c> be</c><00:00:44.979><c> back</c><00:00:45.359><c> once</c><00:00:45.679><c> more</c><00:00:45.799><c> with</c><00:00:46.039><c> you.</c>

00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.219
Since<00:00:47.219><c> then</c><00:00:47.539><c> we've</c><00:00:48.079><c> shifted</c><00:00:48.340><c> to</c><00:00:48.600><c> the</c><00:00:48.640><c> Ecclesiastes,</c><00:00:49.020><c> not</c>

00:00:57.579 --> 00:00:58.539
there.

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:01.299
And<00:00:59.179><c> except</c><00:00:59.340><c> for</c><00:00:59.500><c> that</c><00:00:59.740><c> move,</c><00:01:00.179><c> I'm</c><00:01:00.340><c> sure</c><00:01:00.479><c> my</c><00:01:00.719><c> wife</c><00:01:00.960><c> would</c><00:01:01.140><c> have</c>

00:01:01.299 --> 00:01:03.240
been<00:01:02.119><c> here</c><00:01:02.500><c> with</c><00:01:02.740><c> me.</c>

00:01:03.659 --> 00:01:07.620
But<00:01:04.099><c> as</c><00:01:04.760><c> wives</c><00:01:05.019><c> know,</c><00:01:05.519><c> it's</c><00:01:06.239><c> a</c><00:01:06.239><c> little</c><00:01:06.500><c> unsettling</c><00:01:07.299><c> shifting,</c>

00:01:07.739 --> 00:01:08.079
isn't<00:01:07.840><c> it?</c>

00:01:08.459 --> 00:01:09.980
So<00:01:08.620><c> that's</c><00:01:08.859><c> the</c><00:01:08.939><c> only</c><00:01:09.099><c> reason</c><00:01:09.359><c> why.</c>

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.819

That's<00:07:03.560><c> what</c><00:07:03.680><c> happens</c><00:07:04.000><c> to</c><00:07:04.180><c> brothers</c><00:07:04.399><c> and</c><00:07:04.620><c> sisters</c><00:07:04.899><c> who</c><00:07:05.060><c> get</c>

00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.100
overwhelmed<00:07:05.620><c> and</c><00:07:05.759><c> they</c><00:07:05.980><c> don't</c><00:07:06.360><c> believe</c>

00:07:07.100 --> 00:07:09.800
that<00:07:07.379><c> God</c><00:07:07.579><c> can</c><00:07:07.839><c> save</c><00:07:08.079><c> them.</c>

00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:13.720
There's<00:07:10.699><c> 185</c><00:07:11.439><c>,000</c><00:07:11.819><c> Assyrians</c><00:07:12.300><c> around</c><00:07:12.879><c> our</c><00:07:13.459><c> walls.</c>

00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.040
Our<00:07:14.019><c> problems</c><00:07:14.339><c> may</c><00:07:14.600><c> feel</c><00:07:14.819><c> like</c><00:07:15.139><c> that.</c>

00:07:16.100 --> 00:07:18.360
I<00:07:16.279><c> don't</c><00:07:16.399><c> want</c><00:07:16.540><c> to</c><00:07:16.639><c> say</c><00:07:16.819><c> to</c><00:07:16.939><c> you</c><00:07:17.019><c> that</c><00:07:17.540><c> your</c><00:07:17.860><c> problems</c><00:07:18.139><c> aren't</c>

00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.000
anything<00:07:18.660><c> like</c><00:07:18.980><c> what</c><00:07:19.199><c> Israel</c><00:07:19.519><c> were</c><00:07:19.699><c> facing.</c>

00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.079
I<00:07:20.519><c> say</c><00:07:20.660><c> that</c><00:07:20.779><c> to</c><00:07:20.939><c> myself.</c>

00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:29.279
But<00:07:23.040><c> you</c><00:07:23.180><c> may</c><00:07:23.379><c> feel</c><00:07:23.560><c> like</c><00:07:24.360><c> they</c><00:07:24.680><c> are</c><00:07:25.399><c> like</c><00:07:26.339><c> 185</c><00:07:27.240><c>,000</c><00:07:28.220><c> Assyrians</c>

00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.500
bent<00:07:29.980><c> on</c><00:07:30.120><c> your</c><00:07:30.360><c> destruction,</c><00:07:31.079><c> besieging</c>

00:07:31.500 --> 00:07:32.920
you.

00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.360
That's<00:07:34.379><c> the</c><00:07:34.579><c> context</c><00:07:35.040><c> in</c><00:07:35.220><c> which</c><00:07:35.420><c> this</c><00:07:35.639><c> was</c><00:07:35.819><c> written</c><00:07:36.019><c> here.</c>

00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.240
Isaiah<00:07:36.899><c> 8</c><00:07:37.180><c> says</c><00:07:37.660><c> that</c><00:07:38.420><c> the</c><00:07:38.720><c> flood</c><00:07:39.019><c> had</c><00:07:39.279><c> come</c><00:07:39.459><c> all</c><00:07:39.819><c> the</c><00:07:39.939><c> way</c><00:07:40.060><c> to</c>

00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.040
the<00:07:40.399><c> neck</c><00:07:40.779><c> and</c><00:07:41.759><c> Israel</c><00:07:42.100><c> were</c><00:07:42.339><c> only</c><00:07:42.600><c> just</c>

00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:44.959
keeping<00:07:43.319><c> their</c><00:07:43.540><c> head</c><00:07:43.680><c> above</c><00:07:43.959><c> water.</c>

00:07:45.540 --> 00:07:49.379
The<00:07:45.819><c> archaeological</c><00:07:46.459><c> find,</c><00:07:46.939><c> Taylor's</c><00:07:47.519><c> Prism,</c><00:07:48.180><c> which</c><00:07:48.399><c> Sennacherib</c><00:07:49.079><c> wrote,</c>

00:07:49.579 --> 00:07:52.139
he<00:07:49.899><c> says</c><00:07:50.160><c> that</c><00:07:50.459><c> 46</c><00:07:51.160><c> fenced</c>

00:07:52.139 --> 00:07:57.079

00:07:57.980 --> 00:08:01.519
And<00:07:58.220><c> Isaiah</c><00:07:58.560><c> 38</c><00:07:59.079><c> tells</c><00:07:59.500><c> us</c><00:08:00.120><c> when</c><00:08:00.379><c> Rabbi</c><00:08:00.620><c> Shaker</c><00:08:00.939><c> stands</c><00:08:01.319><c> there</c>

00:08:03.459 --> 00:08:06.100
with<00:08:03.620><c> all</c><00:08:03.839><c> of</c><00:08:04.019><c> Israel,</c><00:08:04.319><c> he</c><00:08:04.319><c> says,</c><00:08:05.139><c> your</c><00:08:05.399><c> God's</c><00:08:05.639><c> not</c><00:08:05.800><c> going</c><00:08:05.920><c> to</c>

00:08:06.100 --> 00:08:06.980
save<00:08:06.279><c> you.</c>

00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.060
The<00:08:07.540><c> gods</c><00:08:07.800><c> of</c><00:08:08.620><c> Assyria</c><00:08:09.100><c> are</c><00:08:09.199><c> so</c><00:08:09.420><c> much</c><00:08:09.660><c> stronger.</c>

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:11.319
Here's<00:08:10.860><c> the</c><00:08:11.120><c> evidence.</c>

00:08:11.540 --> 00:08:13.399
The<00:08:11.660><c> statistics</c><00:08:12.199><c> are</c><00:08:12.500><c> stacked</c><00:08:12.680><c> against</c><00:08:13.060><c> you.</c>

00:08:13.779 --> 00:08:15.759
You<00:08:14.100><c> chose</c><00:08:14.459><c> the</c><00:08:14.699><c> wrong</c><00:08:14.879><c> God.</c>

00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.240
Did<00:08:17.220><c> we</c><00:08:17.420><c> choose</c><00:08:17.639><c> the</c><00:08:17.819><c> wrong</c><00:08:18.040><c> God,</c><00:08:18.800><c> brothers</c><00:08:19.019><c> and</c><00:08:19.240><c> sisters?</c>

00:08:23.180 --> 00:08:25.360
Did<00:08:23.560><c> we</c><00:08:23.819><c> choose</c><00:08:24.079><c> the</c><00:08:24.300><c> wrong</c><00:08:24.500><c> God?</c>

00:08:26.060 --> 00:08:27.639
How<00:08:26.439><c> could</c><00:08:26.600><c> they</c><00:08:26.759><c> get</c><00:08:26.920><c> out</c><00:08:27.079><c> of</c><00:08:27.180><c> this</c><00:08:27.399><c> one?</c>

00:08:27.939 --> 00:08:28.600
Well,<00:08:28.139><c> do</c><00:08:28.300><c> you</c><00:08:28.319><c> know</c><00:08:28.459><c> what?</c>

00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:29.360
They<00:08:28.779><c> can't.</c>

00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:31.019
It's<00:08:29.759><c> an</c><00:08:29.920><c> impossible</c><00:08:30.360><c> situation.</c>

00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:32.360
They<00:08:31.500><c> are</c><00:08:31.699><c> going</c><00:08:31.819><c> to</c><00:08:32.039><c> die.</c>

00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:37.000
There<00:08:32.980><c> is</c><00:08:33.220><c> no</c><00:08:33.500><c> way</c><00:08:33.779><c> in</c><00:08:33.919><c> the</c><00:08:34.100><c> world</c><00:08:34.440><c> that</c><00:08:35.179><c> Jerusalem</c><00:08:35.799><c> will</c><00:08:36.360><c> survive</c><00:08:36.740><c> the</c>

00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:40.019
Assyrian<00:08:37.480><c> onslaught.</c>

00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:47.059
That's<00:08:40.960><c> the</c><00:08:41.139><c> context</c><00:08:41.720><c> in</c><00:08:42.480><c> which</c><00:08:42.659><c> this</c><00:08:42.980><c> first</c><00:08:43.519><c> servant</c><00:08:43.840><c> prophecy</c><00:08:44.240><c> of</c><00:08:44.820><c> Isaiah</c><00:08:45.299><c> 41</c><00:08:45.879><c> appears.</c>

00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.039
Just<00:08:47.720><c> look</c><00:08:47.940><c> at</c><00:08:48.080><c> the</c><00:08:48.200><c> words.</c>

00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:57.139
I<00:08:56.000><c> apologize.</c>

00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.500
It's<00:08:57.639><c> a</c><00:08:57.799><c> small</c><00:08:58.179><c> grammatical</c><00:08:58.720><c> adjustment</c><00:08:59.039><c> you'll</c><00:08:59.240><c> have</c><00:08:59.320><c> to</c>

00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:05.360

I<00:09:08.899><c> took</c><00:09:09.080><c> from</c><00:09:09.279><c> the</c><00:09:09.419><c> ends</c><00:09:09.539><c> of</c><00:09:09.700><c> the</c><00:09:09.840><c> earth</c><00:09:10.200><c> and</c><00:09:10.519><c> called</c><00:09:10.820><c> you</c><00:09:10.980><c> from</c>

basically<00:24:22.359><c> all</c><00:24:22.559><c> there</c><00:24:22.839><c> are.</c>

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.160
Think<00:24:25.339><c> about</c><00:24:25.640><c> that,</c><00:24:25.980><c> brothers</c><00:24:26.079><c> and</c><00:24:26.299><c> sisters.</c>

00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:28.740
That's<00:24:27.839><c> Israel.</c>

00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:31.900
Israel<00:24:29.640><c> itself,</c><00:24:30.180><c> as</c><00:24:30.420><c> a</c><00:24:30.500><c> nation,</c><00:24:30.819><c> are</c><00:24:30.980><c> a</c><00:24:31.079><c> miracle.</c>

00:24:33.420 --> 00:24:35.500
Some<00:24:33.619><c> of</c><00:24:33.759><c> you</c><00:24:33.839><c> may</c><00:24:34.000><c> have</c><00:24:34.099><c> heard</c><00:24:34.299><c> this</c><00:24:34.500><c> little</c><00:24:34.779><c> quotation</c><00:24:35.240><c> by</c>

00:24:35.500 --> 00:24:36.200
Mark<00:24:35.900><c> Twain.</c>

00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:38.779
I<00:24:36.279><c> just</c><00:24:36.440><c> want</c><00:24:36.539><c> to</c><00:24:36.660><c> read</c><00:24:36.779><c> it</c><00:24:36.980><c> to</c><00:24:37.059><c> you,</c><00:24:37.559><c> put</c><00:24:37.740><c> it</c><00:24:38.119><c> in</c><00:24:38.299><c> more</c><00:24:38.480><c> of</c><00:24:38.680><c> a</c>

perspective,<00:24:39.380><c> deepen</c><00:24:39.500><c> it.</c>

00:24:40.900 --> 00:24:48.380
He<00:24:41.539><c> said,</c><00:24:43.420><c> this</c><00:24:43.779><c> is</c><00:24:44.000><c> against</c><00:24:44.319><c> all</c><00:24:44.619><c> the</c><00:24:44.759><c> odds</c><00:24:44.920><c> that</c><00:24:45.180><c> if</c><00:24:45.380><c> the</c><00:24:46.500><c> statistics</c><00:24:47.039><c> are</c><00:24:47.400><c> correct,</c>

00:24:48.819 --> 00:24:53.559
and<00:24:49.440><c> they</c><00:24:49.640><c> are,</c><00:24:50.759><c> that</c><00:24:50.880><c> the</c><00:24:51.059><c> Jews</c><00:24:51.279><c> constitute</c><00:24:52.039><c> about</c><00:24:52.720><c> 1</c><00:24:53.079><c>%</c><00:24:53.400><c> of</c>

00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:55.019
the<00:24:53.680><c> human</c><00:24:53.839><c> race.</c>

00:24:55.460 --> 00:24:59.319
The<00:24:55.859><c> Egyptian,</c><00:24:56.539><c> the</c><00:24:56.700><c> Babylonian</c><00:24:57.359><c> and</c><00:24:57.579><c> the</c><00:24:57.839><c> Persian</c><00:24:58.200><c> rose,</c>

00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:02.140
filled<00:24:59.740><c> the</c><00:24:59.980><c> planet</c><00:25:00.119><c> with</c><00:25:00.339><c> sound</c><00:25:00.559><c> and</c><00:25:00.880><c> splendour,</c>

00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:05.180
then<00:25:02.559><c> faded</c><00:25:02.759><c> to</c><00:25:03.039><c> dream</c><00:25:03.339><c> stuff</c><00:25:03.599><c> and</c><00:25:03.799><c> passed</c><00:25:04.160><c> away.</c>

00:25:05.259 --> 00:25:09.140
The<00:25:05.480><c> Greek</c><00:25:05.619><c> and</c><00:25:05.759><c> the</c><00:25:05.900><c> Roman</c><00:25:06.079><c> followed</c><00:25:06.579><c> and</c><00:25:07.079><c> made</c><00:25:07.279><c> a</c><00:25:07.480><c> vast</c><00:25:07.900><c> noise.</c>

00:25:09.259 --> 00:25:10.519
And<00:25:09.819><c> they</c><00:25:10.079><c> are</c><00:25:10.319><c> gone.</c>

00:25:10.619 --> 00:25:13.359
Other<00:25:10.859><c> peoples</c><00:25:11.180><c> have</c><00:25:11.440><c> sprung</c><00:25:11.619><c> up</c><00:25:11.839><c> and</c><00:25:12.039><c> held</c><00:25:12.220><c> their</c><00:25:12.460><c> torch</c><00:25:12.720><c> high</c><00:25:13.099><c> for</c>

00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:14.519
a<00:25:13.539><c> time.</c>

00:25:14.660 --> 00:25:18.200
But<00:25:14.799><c> it</c><00:25:15.019><c> burned</c><00:25:15.279><c> out</c><00:25:15.740><c> and</c><00:25:16.180><c> they</c><00:25:16.519><c> sit</c><00:25:16.680><c> in</c><00:25:16.980><c> twilight</c><00:25:17.339><c> now,</c><00:25:17.640><c> or</c>

00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:21.180
have<00:25:19.579><c> vanished</c><00:25:20.160><c> away.</c>

00:25:21.900 --> 00:25:23.359
The<00:25:22.099><c> Jews</c><00:25:22.220><c> saw</c><00:25:22.579><c> them.</c>

00:25:23.859 --> 00:25:25.839
The<00:25:24.059><c> Jews</c><00:25:24.200><c> saw</c><00:25:24.420><c> them</c><00:25:24.640><c> all,</c><00:25:25.279><c> beat</c><00:25:25.460><c> them</c><00:25:25.680><c> all.</c>

00:25:25.940 --> 00:25:28.940
All<00:25:26.259><c> things</c><00:25:26.500><c> are</c><00:25:27.059><c> mortal</c><00:25:27.579><c> but</c><00:25:27.900><c> the</c><00:25:28.180><c> Jew.</c>

00:25:29.019 --> 00:25:31.299
All<00:25:29.259><c> other</c><00:25:29.500><c> forces</c><00:25:30.000><c> pass.</c>

00:25:31.339 --> 00:25:32.660
But<00:25:31.619><c> he</c><00:25:32.079><c> remains.</c>

00:25:33.140 --> 00:25:36.079
What<00:25:33.400><c> is</c><00:25:33.660><c> the</c><00:25:33.960><c> secret</c><00:25:34.380><c> of</c><00:25:35.059><c> his</c><00:25:35.359><c> immortality?</c>

00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:39.500
The<00:25:36.599><c> answer</c><00:25:36.980><c> is</c><00:25:37.140><c> what</c><00:25:37.319><c> we've</c><00:25:37.539><c> just</c><00:25:37.799><c> said,</c><00:25:38.519><c> what</c><00:25:38.819><c> we've</c><00:25:39.200><c> seen.</c>

00:25:39.859 --> 00:25:43.019
There<00:25:39.920><c> is</c><00:25:40.160><c> no</c><00:25:40.420><c> other</c><00:25:40.660><c> God</c><00:25:40.819><c> that</c><00:25:40.940><c> can</c><00:25:41.140><c> save</c><00:25:41.440><c> besides</c><00:25:41.900><c> our</c><00:25:42.220><c> God.</c>

00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.339
It's<00:25:45.640><c> an</c><00:25:45.740><c> easy</c><00:25:46.259><c> excitation,</c><00:25:46.900><c> isn't</c><00:25:47.099><c> it?</c>

00:25:49.420 --> 00:25:51.319
You've<00:25:49.940><c> probably</c><00:25:50.319><c> filled</c><00:25:50.579><c> it</c><00:25:50.759><c> in</c><00:25:50.859><c> your</c><00:25:51.019><c> own</c><00:25:51.180><c> minds.</c>

00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:58.460
If<00:25:51.460><c> God</c><00:25:51.640><c> can</c><00:25:51.920><c> save</c><00:25:52.119><c> Abraham,</c><00:25:56.599><c> then</c><00:25:56.680><c> he</c><00:25:56.779><c> can</c><00:25:56.980><c> save</c><00:25:57.180><c> us.</c>

00:25:59.460 --> 00:26:04.180
And<00:25:59.880><c> if</c><00:26:00.299><c> God</c><00:26:00.519><c> could</c><00:26:01.220><c> get</c><00:26:01.619><c> Isaac</c><00:26:02.160><c> through</c><00:26:02.759><c> his</c><00:26:03.119><c> life,</c>

00:26:05.700 --> 00:26:08.359
then<00:26:05.799><c> he</c><00:26:05.900><c> can</c><00:26:06.119><c> save</c><00:26:06.579><c> you</c><00:26:07.140><c> through</c><00:26:07.460><c> your</c><00:26:07.740><c> life.</c>

00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:09.819
Jacob's<00:26:09.180><c> life</c><00:26:09.380><c> is</c><00:26:09.500><c> amazing.</c>

00:26:09.859 --> 00:26:13.339
We<00:26:10.019><c> would</c><00:26:10.200><c> stand</c><00:26:10.359><c> back</c><00:26:10.680><c> and</c><00:26:11.059><c> almost</c><00:26:11.359><c> blown</c><00:26:11.799><c> away</c><00:26:12.099><c> by</c><00:26:12.359><c> it.</c>

00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:16.079
But<00:26:13.700><c> if</c><00:26:13.859><c> God</c><00:26:14.000><c> could</c><00:26:14.180><c> do</c><00:26:14.400><c> that,</c><00:26:15.059><c> and</c><00:26:15.220><c> Jacob</c><00:26:15.480><c> could</c><00:26:15.740><c> stand</c><00:26:15.920><c> at</c>

00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:16.319
the<00:26:16.160><c> end</c>

00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:17.819
and<00:26:16.400><c> say,</c><00:26:16.640><c> few</c><00:26:16.660><c> an</c><00:26:16.859><c> evil</c><00:26:17.079><c> have</c><00:26:17.279><c> been</c><00:26:17.359><c> my</c><00:26:17.619><c> days,</c>

00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:20.299
but<00:26:18.039><c> it's</c><00:26:18.180><c> God</c><00:26:18.359><c> that's</c><00:26:18.559><c> done</c><00:26:18.720><c> it</c><00:26:18.900><c> all,</c><00:26:19.779><c> then</c><00:26:19.859><c> he</c><00:26:19.960><c> could</c><00:26:20.140><c> save</c>

00:26:20.299 --> 00:26:22.579
our<00:26:21.160><c> souls</c><00:26:21.480><c> as</c><00:26:21.740><c> well.</c>

00:26:23.180 --> 00:26:26.259
And<00:26:23.339><c> when</c><00:26:23.460><c> you</c><00:26:23.599><c> point</c><00:26:23.799><c> out</c><00:26:23.980><c> to</c><00:26:24.079><c> people</c><00:26:24.380><c> that</c><00:26:24.559><c> Israel,</c><00:26:25.319><c> it's</c><00:26:25.740><c> impossible.</c>

00:26:26.259 --> 00:26:27.619
We<00:26:26.700><c> just</c><00:26:26.920><c> came</c><00:26:27.140><c> from</c><00:26:27.279><c> Israel.</c>

00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:28.859
The<00:26:28.200><c> Jews</c><00:26:28.400><c> are</c><00:26:28.579><c> in</c><00:26:28.640><c> the</c><00:26:28.759><c> land.</c>

00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:30.539
They<00:26:29.019><c> shouldn't</c><00:26:29.220><c> be</c><00:26:29.440><c> in</c><00:26:29.539><c> the</c><00:26:29.700><c> land.</c>

00:26:32.339 --> 00:26:35.279
A<00:26:32.519><c> librarian</c><00:26:32.940><c> at</c><00:26:33.119><c> my</c><00:26:33.279><c> old</c><00:26:33.500><c> school</c><00:26:33.859><c> painted</c><00:26:34.500><c> this</c><00:26:34.740><c> picture</c><00:26:34.980><c> to</c><00:26:35.140><c> him.</c>

00:26:35.339 --> 00:26:35.920
He<00:26:35.400><c> said,</c><00:26:35.599><c> look</c><00:26:35.680><c> at</c><00:26:35.799><c> that.</c>

00:26:36.099 --> 00:26:37.059
It's<00:26:36.259><c> prophesied</c><00:26:36.599><c> in</c><00:26:36.740><c> the</c><00:26:36.880><c> Bible.</c>

00:26:37.099 --> 00:26:38.660
They've<00:26:37.339><c> got</c><00:26:37.440><c> their</c><00:26:37.700><c> own</c><00:26:38.140><c> nationality.</c>

00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:40.440
They've<00:26:39.019><c> got</c><00:26:39.160><c> their</c><00:26:39.319><c> own</c><00:26:39.519><c> place</c><00:26:39.680><c> to</c><00:26:39.920><c> worship</c><00:26:40.220><c> again.</c>

00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:41.380
And<00:26:40.599><c> they</c><00:26:40.859><c> speak</c><00:26:41.079><c> Hebrew.</c>

00:26:41.420 --> 00:26:43.380
That's<00:26:41.660><c> never</c><00:26:41.880><c> happened</c><00:26:42.160><c> in</c><00:26:42.319><c> the</c><00:26:42.460><c> history</c><00:26:42.740><c> of</c><00:26:42.900><c> the</c><00:26:43.039><c> world.</c>

00:26:43.619 --> 00:26:44.779
And<00:26:43.759><c> he</c><00:26:43.880><c> says,</c><00:26:44.000><c> yeah,</c><00:26:44.160><c> it's</c><00:26:44.359><c> amazing.</c>

00:26:44.940 --> 00:26:46.460
It's<00:26:45.200><c> not</c><00:26:45.319><c> amazing.</c>

00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:48.599
