Well,<00:19:13.299><c> we</c><00:19:13.460><c> got</c><00:19:13.559><c> to</c><00:19:14.059><c> spend</c><00:19:14.259><c> some</c><00:19:14.480><c> time</c><00:19:14.720><c> developing</c><00:19:15.279><c> godly</c>

00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:16.539

00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:18.259
And<00:19:17.119><c> that's</c><00:19:17.380><c> the</c><00:19:17.539><c> other</c><00:19:17.759><c> side</c><00:19:18.039><c> to</c><00:19:18.180><c> it.</c>

00:19:18.259 --> 00:19:19.539
We've<00:19:18.500><c> got</c><00:19:18.539><c> to</c><00:19:18.680><c> forsake</c><00:19:19.140><c> our</c><00:19:19.339><c> way.</c>

00:19:19.579 --> 00:19:23.539
The<00:19:19.740><c> only</c><00:19:19.920><c> way</c><00:19:20.059><c> you</c><00:19:20.160><c> can</c><00:19:20.359><c> do</c><00:19:20.579><c> that</c><00:19:21.039><c> is</c><00:19:21.819><c> by</c><00:19:22.240><c> changing</c><00:19:22.819><c> the</c><00:19:23.200><c> way</c>

00:19:23.539 --> 00:19:24.660
you<00:19:23.920><c> think.</c>

00:19:24.779 --> 00:19:27.200
And<00:19:25.079><c> that's</c><00:19:25.339><c> what</c><00:19:25.539><c> God</c><00:19:25.799><c> wants</c><00:19:26.079><c> us</c><00:19:26.279><c> to</c><00:19:26.440><c> do.</c>

00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:29.859
The<00:19:27.740><c> people</c><00:19:27.980><c> around</c><00:19:28.279><c> us,</c><00:19:28.539><c> they're</c><00:19:28.759><c> going</c><00:19:28.799><c> to</c><00:19:28.980><c> think</c><00:19:29.160><c> we're</c><00:19:29.400><c> crazy.</c>

00:19:29.859 --> 00:19:30.940
They<00:19:30.160><c> do</c><00:19:30.339><c> anyway.</c>

00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:32.440
Look<00:19:31.319><c> at</c><00:19:31.420><c> my</c><00:19:31.619><c> tie</c><00:19:31.759><c> for</c><00:19:31.960><c> crying</c><00:19:32.079><c> out</c><00:19:32.259><c> loud.</c>

00:19:32.700 --> 00:19:34.700
I<00:19:32.720><c> mean,</c><00:19:32.940><c> like</c><00:19:33.160><c> they</c><00:19:33.259><c> do,</c><00:19:33.480><c> they</c><00:19:33.619><c> look</c><00:19:33.799><c> at</c><00:19:33.960><c> us</c><00:19:34.119><c> and</c><00:19:34.259><c> they</c><00:19:34.480><c> say,</c>

00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:36.200
we're<00:19:35.119><c> nuts</c><00:19:35.460><c> because</c>

00:19:38.259 --> 00:19:40.200
And<00:19:38.339><c> when</c><00:19:38.440><c> I</c><00:19:38.500><c> was</c><00:19:38.579><c> going</c><00:19:38.740><c> to</c><00:19:38.940><c> school,</c><00:19:39.500><c> we</c><00:19:39.579><c> used</c><00:19:39.740><c> to</c><00:19:39.880><c> go,</c><00:19:40.000><c> I</c><00:19:40.079><c> used</c>

49th<00:19:44.440><c> parallel.</c>

00:19:45.099 --> 00:19:46.319
So<00:19:45.259><c> we</c><00:19:45.420><c> were</c><00:19:45.519><c> up</c><00:19:45.680><c> in</c><00:19:45.819><c> the</c><00:19:46.079><c> sticks.</c>

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:49.480
I<00:19:46.519><c> mean,</c><00:19:46.619><c> we're</c><00:19:46.940><c> talking</c><00:19:47.200><c> 10</c><00:19:47.960><c> hour</c><00:19:48.279><c> drive</c><00:19:48.599><c> to</c><00:19:48.759><c> your</c><00:19:48.880><c> next</c><00:19:49.079><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:53.220
We<00:19:52.140><c> all</c><00:19:52.259><c> went</c><00:19:52.380><c> to</c><00:19:52.500><c> the</c><00:19:52.660><c> same</c><00:19:52.880><c> school.</c>

00:19:56.140 --> 00:19:57.140
She<00:19:56.359><c> was</c><00:19:56.539><c> my</c><00:19:56.779><c> sister.</c>

00:19:57.500 --> 00:19:59.339
Prospects<00:19:57.900><c> were</c><00:19:57.980><c> looking</c><00:19:58.180><c> pretty</c><00:19:58.559><c> grim.</c>

00:19:59.900 --> 00:20:02.799
So<00:20:00.299><c> we</c><00:20:00.700><c> used</c><00:20:00.920><c> to</c><00:20:01.039><c> have</c><00:20:01.160><c> to</c><00:20:01.380><c> travel</c><00:20:01.680><c> quite</c><00:20:01.960><c> a</c><00:20:02.140><c> bit</c><00:20:02.299><c> if</c><00:20:02.480><c> we</c><00:20:02.660><c> wanted</c>

00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:03.140

00:20:04.700 --> 00:20:07.200
In<00:20:04.819><c> fact,</c><00:20:05.019><c> I</c><00:20:05.160><c> met</c><00:20:05.279><c> my</c><00:20:05.500><c> wife</c><00:20:05.740><c> who</c><00:20:05.920><c> happened</c><00:20:06.099><c> to</c><00:20:06.220><c> be</c><00:20:06.319><c> from</c><00:20:06.460><c> Ontario</c><00:20:06.920><c> at</c><00:20:07.079><c> a</c>

So<00:24:19.119><c> this</c><00:24:19.319><c> is</c><00:24:19.559><c> the</c><00:24:19.660><c> person</c><00:24:20.119><c> who</c><00:24:20.440><c> is</c><00:24:20.660><c> speaking</c><00:24:20.920><c> to</c><00:24:21.180><c> us,</c><00:24:21.359><c> the</c><00:24:21.599><c> almighty</c><00:24:22.279><c> deity</c><00:24:22.880><c> who</c>

00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:24.460
created<00:24:24.079><c> the</c>

00:24:24.460 --> 00:24:27.000

00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:29.380
He<00:24:27.599><c> says,</c><00:24:28.140><c> this</c><00:24:28.220><c> is</c><00:24:28.420><c> what</c><00:24:28.559><c> I'm</c><00:24:28.779><c> telling</c><00:24:29.099><c> you.</c>

00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:31.200
I'm<00:24:29.720><c> this</c><00:24:30.019><c> is</c><00:24:30.240><c> my</c><00:24:30.400><c> resume.</c>

00:24:31.259 --> 00:24:34.480
I<00:24:31.480><c> have</c><00:24:31.819><c> created</c><00:24:32.279><c> the</c><00:24:32.559><c> heavens</c><00:24:32.779><c> and</c><00:24:33.039><c> the</c><00:24:33.180><c> earth,</c><00:24:33.660><c> and</c><00:24:33.759><c> that</c><00:24:33.980><c> should</c><00:24:34.119><c> make</c><00:24:34.299><c> us</c>

00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:35.099
pay<00:24:34.680><c> attention.</c>

00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:37.660
And<00:24:35.740><c> he</c><00:24:35.880><c> says,</c><00:24:36.019><c> this</c><00:24:36.180><c> is</c><00:24:36.420><c> why</c><00:24:36.759><c> I've</c><00:24:36.940><c> done</c><00:24:37.119><c> it.</c>

00:24:37.859 --> 00:24:39.160
He<00:24:38.059><c> has</c><00:24:38.279><c> established</c><00:24:38.980><c> it.</c>

00:24:39.220 --> 00:24:42.420
He<00:24:39.460><c> created</c><00:24:39.799><c> it,</c><00:24:40.039><c> not</c><00:24:40.180><c> in</c><00:24:40.480><c> vain,</c><00:24:40.900><c> not</c><00:24:41.079><c> just</c><00:24:41.279><c> on</c><00:24:41.460><c> a</c><00:24:41.660><c> wind</c><00:24:41.859><c> to</c><00:24:42.099><c> kind</c><00:24:42.200><c> of</c>

00:24:42.420 --> 00:24:43.240
wind<00:24:42.539><c> it</c><00:24:42.700><c> up</c><00:24:42.819><c> and</c><00:24:42.900><c> let</c><00:24:43.019><c> it</c>

00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:47.920
flow,<00:24:43.920><c> but</c><00:24:44.240><c> he</c><00:24:44.359><c> says</c><00:24:44.559><c> he</c><00:24:44.799><c> created</c><00:24:45.259><c> and</c><00:24:45.500><c> he</c><00:24:45.740><c> formed</c><00:24:45.900><c> it</c><00:24:46.099><c> to</c><00:24:46.359><c> be</c><00:24:46.819><c> inhabited.</c>

00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:50.980
I<00:24:48.420><c> am</c><00:24:48.740><c> the</c><00:24:49.000><c> Lord</c><00:24:49.319><c> and</c><00:24:49.460><c> there</c><00:24:49.599><c> is</c><00:24:49.819><c> none</c><00:24:50.019><c> else.</c>

00:24:53.380 --> 00:24:56.500
So<00:24:53.859><c> God</c><00:24:54.119><c> created</c><00:24:54.539><c> the</c><00:24:54.799><c> earth</c><00:24:55.180><c> to</c><00:24:55.900><c> be</c><00:24:56.059><c> inhabited.</c>

00:24:56.980 --> 00:24:59.680
Well,<00:24:57.440><c> we</c><00:24:57.519><c> asked</c><00:24:57.680><c> the</c><00:24:57.839><c> question,</c><00:24:58.799><c> inhabited</c><00:24:59.180><c> with</c><00:24:59.460><c> what?</c>

00:24:59.960 --> 00:25:01.339
Cause<00:25:00.099><c> you</c><00:25:00.220><c> look</c><00:25:00.400><c> around,</c><00:25:00.759><c> there's</c><00:25:00.799><c> lots</c><00:25:01.000><c> of</c><00:25:01.140><c> people.</c>

00:25:01.500 --> 00:25:03.779
Well,<00:25:01.500><c> maybe</c><00:25:01.700><c> his</c><00:25:01.960><c> purpose</c><00:25:02.279><c> is,</c><00:25:02.900><c> is</c><00:25:03.420><c> complete.</c>

00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:06.480
Cause<00:25:04.019><c> he's</c><00:25:04.480><c> inhabited</c><00:25:04.980><c> the</c><00:25:05.299><c> world</c><00:25:05.660><c> with</c><00:25:05.960><c> lots</c><00:25:06.140><c> of</c><00:25:06.359><c> people.</c>

00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:08.460
We've<00:25:06.599><c> got</c><00:25:06.660><c> the</c><00:25:06.859><c> biggest</c><00:25:07.079><c> population</c><00:25:07.680><c> that's</c><00:25:07.980><c> ever</c><00:25:08.119><c> existed</c>

00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:09.319
as<00:25:08.700><c> far</c><00:25:08.819><c> as</c><00:25:08.940><c> we</c><00:25:09.119><c> know.</c>

00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:11.359
So<00:25:09.779><c> therefore</c><00:25:10.200><c> that</c><00:25:10.440><c> must</c><00:25:10.660><c> be</c><00:25:10.880><c> it,</c><00:25:11.000><c> right?</c>

00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:14.109
Well,<00:25:11.920><c> no,</c><00:25:12.559><c> there's</c><00:25:12.660><c> a</c><00:25:12.740><c> little</c><00:25:12.859><c> bit</c><00:25:12.980><c> more</c><00:25:13.119><c> to</c><00:25:13.299><c> that.</c>

00:25:14.420 --> 00:25:19.519
Turn<00:25:14.619><c> back</c><00:25:14.880><c> over</c><00:25:15.099><c> the</c><00:25:15.220><c> page</c><00:25:15.440><c> to</c><00:25:15.619><c> Isaiah</c><00:25:15.920><c> 43</c><00:25:16.700><c> in</c><00:25:17.240><c> the</c><00:25:17.359><c> 21st</c><00:25:18.059><c> verse,</c><00:25:19.359><c> he</c>

00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:21.019
says<00:25:19.900><c> the</c><00:25:20.440><c> inhabitants</c>

00:25:21.019 --> 00:25:23.160
or<00:25:21.339><c> this</c><00:25:21.599><c> people</c><00:25:21.819><c> is</c><00:25:21.960><c> actually</c><00:25:22.200><c> talking</c><00:25:22.500><c> about</c><00:25:22.660><c> Israel,</c><00:25:23.059><c> but</c>

00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:24.619
it<00:25:23.279><c> gives</c><00:25:23.400><c> us</c><00:25:23.559><c> an</c><00:25:23.779><c> idea.</c>

00:25:24.779 --> 00:25:27.940
This<00:25:24.960><c> people</c><00:25:25.500><c> have</c><00:25:25.839><c> I</c><00:25:26.319><c> formed</c><00:25:26.640><c> for</c><00:25:26.960><c> myself.</c>

00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:29.339
Why?

00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:35.059
That<00:25:30.660><c> they</c><00:25:30.920><c> might</c><00:25:31.279><c> show</c><00:25:31.759><c> forth</c><00:25:32.539><c> my</c><00:25:33.900><c> praise.</c>

00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:36.440
That's<00:25:35.740><c> the</c><00:25:35.920><c> purpose.</c>

00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:39.839
He's<00:25:37.240><c> formed</c><00:25:37.380><c> the</c><00:25:37.640><c> earth</c><00:25:37.960><c> to</c><00:25:38.420><c> be</c><00:25:38.660><c> inhabited</c><00:25:39.119><c> with</c><00:25:39.319><c> a</c><00:25:39.500><c> people</c>

00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:42.079
to<00:25:40.400><c> show</c><00:25:40.700><c> forth</c><00:25:41.160><c> his</c><00:25:41.700><c> praise.</c>

00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:44.640
And<00:25:42.519><c> that's</c><00:25:42.740><c> what</c><00:25:42.859><c> we're</c><00:25:43.079><c> told</c><00:25:43.259><c> in</c><00:25:43.500><c> Habakkuk</c><00:25:43.779><c> chapter</c><00:25:44.160><c> two.</c>

00:25:44.940 --> 00:25:48.099
It's<00:25:45.119><c> one</c><00:25:45.240><c> of</c><00:25:45.299><c> those</c><00:25:45.559><c> memory</c><00:25:45.900><c> verses</c><00:25:46.299><c> that</c><00:25:46.519><c> we</c><00:25:46.720><c> learn</c><00:25:46.900><c> in</c><00:25:47.240><c> Sunday</c><00:25:47.599><c> school</c><00:25:47.940><c> that</c>

00:25:48.099 --> 00:25:48.920
is<00:25:48.359><c> a</c><00:25:48.680><c> proof</c>

00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:51.980
verse<00:25:49.339><c> and</c><00:25:49.839><c> really</c><00:25:50.160><c> it's,</c><00:25:50.519><c> it's</c><00:25:50.700><c> one</c><00:25:50.839><c> of</c><00:25:50.940><c> the</c><00:25:51.140><c> key</c><00:25:51.420><c> verses</c><00:25:51.779><c> in</c>

the<00:25:52.119><c> Bible.</c>

00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:55.059
If<00:25:53.059><c> I</c><00:25:53.119><c> can</c><00:25:53.319><c> find</c><00:25:53.500><c> Habakkuk,</c><00:25:54.059><c> we'll</c><00:25:54.180><c> be</c><00:25:54.319><c> doing</c><00:25:54.440><c> just</c><00:25:54.779><c> fine.</c>

00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:55.720
There<00:25:55.420><c> we</c><00:25:55.599><c> go.</c>

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:59.440
Habakkuk<00:25:56.200><c> chapter</c><00:25:56.539><c> two</c><00:25:56.940><c> and</c><00:25:57.500><c> the</c><00:25:57.759><c> 14th</c><00:25:58.420><c> verse</c><00:25:58.599><c> we</c><00:25:58.819><c> read</c><00:25:59.059><c> there.</c>

00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:04.619
The<00:26:00.079><c> earth</c><00:26:00.799><c> shall</c><00:26:01.240><c> be</c><00:26:01.740><c> filled</c><00:26:02.380><c> with</c><00:26:02.960><c> the</c><00:26:03.440><c> knowledge</c><00:26:03.940><c> of</c><00:26:04.299><c> the</c>

00:26:08.339 --> 00:26:10.700
That's<00:26:08.700><c> what</c><00:26:08.900><c> God</c><00:26:09.240><c> intends</c><00:26:09.619><c> to</c><00:26:09.880><c> do</c><00:26:10.019><c> with</c><00:26:10.240><c> this</c><00:26:10.440><c> earth.</c>

00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:17.200
That<00:26:11.420><c> is</c><00:26:11.720><c> his</c><00:26:11.900><c> purpose</c><00:26:12.440><c> to</c><00:26:12.980><c> fill</c><00:26:13.460><c> the</c><00:26:13.740><c> earth</c><00:26:14.180><c> with</c><00:26:15.000><c> an</c><00:26:15.559><c> understanding</c><00:26:16.400><c> of</c><00:26:16.880><c> his</c>

00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:20.059
the<00:26:18.759><c> waters</c><00:26:19.180><c> cover</c><00:26:19.559><c> the</c><00:26:19.839><c> sea.</c>

00:26:20.460 --> 00:26:25.480
Now<00:26:20.599><c> the</c><00:26:20.740><c> word</c><00:26:21.039><c> there</c><00:26:21.519><c> knowledge</c><00:26:22.119><c> is</c><00:26:22.720><c> the</c><00:26:22.920><c> Hebrew</c><00:26:23.299><c> word</c><00:26:23.819><c> Yadda,</c><00:26:24.740><c> which</c><00:26:24.940><c> basically</c>

00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:30.359
means<00:26:26.180><c> to</c><00:26:27.240><c> understand</c><00:26:28.359><c> by</c><00:26:29.019><c> experience.</c>

00:26:30.539 --> 00:26:32.019
Now<00:26:30.940><c> you</c><00:26:31.339><c> can</c><00:26:31.579><c> figure</c><00:26:31.740><c> that</c><00:26:31.920><c> out.</c>

00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:34.079

00:27:32.299 --> 00:27:33.359
And<00:27:32.339><c> I</c><00:27:32.440><c> don't</c><00:27:32.519><c> even</c><00:27:32.619><c> know</c><00:27:32.700><c> which</c><00:27:32.859><c> way</c><00:27:33.000><c> I'm</c><00:27:33.180><c> going.</c>

00:27:36.099 --> 00:27:38.140
So<00:27:36.259><c> I'm</c><00:27:36.460><c> double</c><00:27:36.720><c> dribbling</c><00:27:37.140><c> it</c><00:27:37.299><c> and</c><00:27:37.380><c> I'm</c><00:27:37.619><c> picking</c><00:27:37.740><c> it</c><00:27:38.000><c> up.</c>

00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:44.779
So<00:27:41.200><c> I've</c><00:27:41.599><c> watched</c><00:27:41.819><c> it</c><00:27:42.039><c> being</c><00:27:42.200><c> played,</c><00:27:43.200><c> but</c><00:27:43.660><c> I</c><00:27:43.799><c> don't</c><00:27:44.079><c> know</c><00:27:44.460><c> by</c>

Well,<00:28:02.119><c> what's</c><00:28:02.339><c> his</c><00:28:02.599><c> glory?</c>

00:28:03.579 --> 00:28:06.079
Let's<00:28:03.980><c> turn</c><00:28:04.160><c> back</c><00:28:04.380><c> to</c><00:28:04.539><c> Exodus</c><00:28:04.779><c> chapter</c><00:28:05.160><c> 33,</c><00:28:05.759><c> because</c><00:28:05.819><c> that's</c>

00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:07.700
what<00:28:06.599><c> Moses</c><00:28:06.940><c> asks</c><00:28:07.359><c> God.</c>

00:28:08.140 --> 00:28:09.900
And<00:28:08.259><c> it's</c><00:28:08.339><c> very</c><00:28:08.519><c> helpful</c><00:28:08.799><c> when</c><00:28:08.920><c> you</c><00:28:09.059><c> got</c><00:28:09.180><c> inquisitive</c><00:28:09.660><c> people</c>

So<00:30:17.240><c> we're</c><00:30:17.339><c> going</c><00:30:17.400><c> to</c><00:30:17.480><c> do</c><00:30:17.539><c> a</c><00:30:17.599><c> little</c><00:30:17.759><c> bit</c><00:30:17.900><c> of</c><00:30:18.099><c> Bible</c><00:30:18.420><c> algebra</c>

00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:20.019
now<00:30:19.099><c> where</c><00:30:19.240><c> you</c><00:30:19.440><c> take</c><00:30:19.579><c> all</c><00:30:19.799><c> the</c>

00:30:20.019 --> 00:30:21.920
facts<00:30:20.240><c> and</c><00:30:20.420><c> you</c><00:30:20.619><c> stick</c><00:30:20.740><c> them</c><00:30:20.900><c> all</c><00:30:21.079><c> together.</c>

00:30:22.140 --> 00:30:23.460
What's<00:30:22.460><c> the</c><00:30:22.619><c> purpose</c><00:30:22.920><c> of</c><00:30:23.200><c> God?</c>

00:30:23.460 --> 00:30:26.740
Well,<00:30:23.759><c> it's</c><00:30:23.960><c> to</c><00:30:24.160><c> fill</c><00:30:24.319><c> the</c><00:30:24.519><c> earth</c><00:30:24.720><c> with</c><00:30:25.279><c> the</c><00:30:25.480><c> knowledge</c><00:30:25.839><c> of</c><00:30:26.099><c> the</c><00:30:26.259><c> glory</c><00:30:26.559><c> of</c>

00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:27.220
the<00:30:26.900><c> Lord.</c>

00:30:27.700 --> 00:30:29.880
So<00:30:27.839><c> we</c><00:30:27.980><c> turn</c><00:30:28.140><c> around</c><00:30:28.359><c> and</c><00:30:28.380><c> say,</c><00:30:28.960><c> well,</c><00:30:29.259><c> we're</c><00:30:29.420><c> going</c><00:30:29.519><c> to</c><00:30:29.759><c> fill</c>

00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:32.839
it<00:30:30.339><c> with</c><00:30:30.759><c> glory,</c><00:30:31.819><c> which</c><00:30:31.960><c> is</c>

00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:35.680
God's<00:30:33.400><c> ways,</c><00:30:33.980><c> which</c><00:30:34.180><c> is</c><00:30:34.440><c> his</c><00:30:34.680><c> character.</c>

00:30:35.740 --> 00:30:40.339
So<00:30:35.900><c> taking</c><00:30:36.160><c> all</c><00:30:36.500><c> those</c><00:30:36.759><c> things</c><00:30:37.200><c> and</c><00:30:37.799><c> sticking</c><00:30:38.119><c> them</c><00:30:38.339><c> together,</c><00:30:39.359><c> we</c><00:30:39.400><c> basically</c><00:30:39.920><c> find</c>

00:30:40.339 --> 00:30:40.960
that<00:30:40.599><c> God</c>

00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:47.740
created<00:30:41.539><c> the</c><00:30:41.880><c> earth</c><00:30:42.319><c> to</c><00:30:43.319><c> be</c><00:30:43.660><c> inhabited</c><00:30:44.579><c> with</c><00:30:45.519><c> a</c><00:30:45.740><c> race</c><00:30:46.000><c> of</c><00:30:46.400><c> people</c><00:30:46.920><c> who</c>

00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:49.019
have<00:30:48.079><c> a</c><00:30:48.559><c> working</c>

00:30:49.019 --> 00:30:51.940
knowledge<00:30:49.819><c> or</c><00:30:50.480><c> an</c><00:30:51.059><c> understanding.</c>

00:30:51.940 --> 00:30:59.140
They<00:30:52.440><c> understand</c><00:30:53.359><c> by</c><00:30:53.720><c> experience</c><00:30:54.819><c> the</c><00:30:55.420><c> glory</c><00:30:56.220><c> or</c><00:30:56.920><c> the</c><00:30:57.380><c> character</c><00:30:58.019><c> of</c><00:30:58.720><c> God</c>

00:30:59.140 --> 00:31:00.420
and<00:30:59.740><c> demonstrate</c>

00:31:00.420 --> 00:31:02.079
it<00:31:00.619><c> and</c><00:31:00.779><c> reflect</c><00:31:01.200><c> it</c><00:31:01.359><c> in</c><00:31:01.460><c> their</c><00:31:01.700><c> lives.</c>

00:31:02.539 --> 00:31:03.839
That's<00:31:02.880><c> the</c><00:31:02.980><c> purpose</c><00:31:03.299><c> of</c><00:31:03.539><c> God.</c>

00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:06.480
And<00:31:04.519><c> it's</c><00:31:04.839><c> those</c><00:31:05.140><c> people</c><00:31:05.519><c> that</c><00:31:05.680><c> are</c><00:31:05.759><c> going</c><00:31:05.839><c> to</c><00:31:05.920><c> be</c><00:31:06.019><c> in</c><00:31:06.099><c> the</c><00:31:06.259><c> kingdom.</c>

00:31:06.859 --> 00:31:07.960
Let's<00:31:07.039><c> go</c><00:31:07.259><c> through</c><00:31:07.400><c> that</c><00:31:07.539><c> once</c><00:31:07.859><c> more.</c>

00:31:08.019 --> 00:31:09.500
We're<00:31:08.180><c> going</c><00:31:08.200><c> to</c><00:31:08.299><c> bring</c><00:31:08.400><c> this</c><00:31:08.579><c> up</c><00:31:08.720><c> several</c><00:31:09.039><c> times.</c>

00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:17.019
The<00:31:09.980><c> purpose</c><00:31:10.400><c> of</c><00:31:10.700><c> God</c><00:31:11.039><c> is</c><00:31:11.599><c> to</c><00:31:12.079><c> fill</c><00:31:12.380><c> the</c><00:31:12.700><c> earth</c><00:31:13.079><c> with</c><00:31:13.539><c> a</c><00:31:13.839><c> race</c><00:31:14.119><c> of</c><00:31:14.500><c> people</c><00:31:15.019><c> who</c><00:31:16.059><c> have</c><00:31:16.339><c> a</c><00:31:16.640><c> working</c>

00:31:17.019 --> 00:31:21.640
knowledge<00:31:17.380><c> or</c><00:31:17.579><c> an</c><00:31:18.059><c> experience</c><00:31:18.640><c> of</c><00:31:18.920><c> his</c><00:31:19.339><c> character</c><00:31:20.000><c> and</c><00:31:21.240><c> they</c>

00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:22.700
demonstrate<00:31:22.420><c> it.</c>

00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:26.019
And<00:31:23.160><c> he</c><00:31:23.259><c> wants</c><00:31:23.480><c> to</c><00:31:23.720><c> do</c><00:31:23.839><c> that</c><00:31:24.220><c> to</c><00:31:24.400><c> the</c><00:31:24.640><c> end</c><00:31:24.839><c> that</c><00:31:25.000><c> there'll</c><00:31:25.839><c> be</c>

00:31:26.019 --> 00:31:27.500
so<00:31:26.359><c> greatly</c><00:31:26.740><c> populating</c><00:31:27.279><c> the</c>

00:31:27.500 --> 00:31:29.559
earth<00:31:27.660><c> as</c><00:31:27.859><c> the</c><00:31:28.059><c> waters</c><00:31:28.279><c> cover</c><00:31:28.559><c> the</c><00:31:28.759><c> sea.</c>

00:31:29.779 --> 00:31:35.740
Now<00:31:30.140><c> that's</c><00:31:31.599><c> why</c><00:31:31.960><c> we're</c><00:31:32.539><c> here,</c><00:31:33.759><c> because</c><00:31:34.279><c> that's</c><00:31:34.579><c> what</c><00:31:34.740><c> God</c><00:31:34.960><c> wants</c><00:31:35.220><c> to</c><00:31:35.400><c> do.</c>

00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:38.519
And<00:31:36.339><c> the</c><00:31:36.480><c> way</c><00:31:36.619><c> he</c><00:31:36.799><c> intends</c><00:31:37.019><c> on</c><00:31:37.259><c> doing</c><00:31:37.420><c> it</c><00:31:37.619><c> is</c><00:31:37.779><c> by</c><00:31:38.079><c> telling</c><00:31:38.319><c> us</c>

00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:40.460
what<00:31:38.640><c> his</c><00:31:38.880><c> character</c><00:31:39.160><c> is,</c><00:31:40.119><c> by</c>

00:31:40.460 --> 00:31:43.619
telling<00:31:40.799><c> us</c><00:31:41.420><c> what</c><00:31:41.720><c> he</c><00:31:41.920><c> wants</c><00:31:42.200><c> from</c><00:31:42.519><c> us,</c><00:31:42.740><c> what</c><00:31:42.880><c> he's</c><00:31:43.180><c> desiring</c>

00:31:43.619 --> 00:31:45.579
us,<00:31:43.839><c> how</c><00:31:44.160><c> he</c><00:31:44.359><c> wants</c><00:31:44.640><c> us</c><00:31:44.980><c> to</c><00:31:45.259><c> walk.</c>

00:31:45.579 --> 00:31:47.539
Because<00:31:46.140><c> remember</c><00:31:46.579><c> what</c><00:31:46.700><c> he</c><00:31:46.819><c> tells</c><00:31:47.119><c> us?</c>

00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:53.720
His<00:31:48.099><c> ways</c><00:31:48.599><c> are</c><00:31:48.880><c> also,</c><00:31:49.319><c> or</c><00:31:49.500><c> his</c><00:31:49.759><c> character</c><00:31:50.240><c> or</c><00:31:50.500><c> his</c><00:31:50.700><c> name</c><00:31:50.900><c> is</c><00:31:51.119><c> also</c><00:31:51.440><c> his</c><00:31:51.720><c> ways,</c><00:31:53.200><c> the</c><00:31:53.359><c> way</c><00:31:53.559><c> in</c>

00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:55.420
which<00:31:53.859><c> he</c><00:31:54.059><c> conducts</c><00:31:54.559><c> himself.</c>

00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:58.880
So<00:31:56.099><c> it's</c><00:31:56.500><c> a</c><00:31:56.740><c> fundamental</c><00:31:57.380><c> principle</c><00:31:58.000><c> that</c><00:31:58.180><c> we've</c><00:31:58.480><c> got</c><00:31:58.579><c> to</c><00:31:58.740><c> get</c>

00:31:58.880 --> 00:31:59.500
through<00:31:59.140><c> our</c><00:31:59.319><c> heads.</c>

00:31:59.779 --> 00:32:02.160
It's<00:32:00.079><c> a</c><00:32:00.460><c> paradigm</c><00:32:00.779><c> shift</c><00:32:01.140><c> from</c><00:32:01.359><c> the</c><00:32:01.460><c> way</c><00:32:01.559><c> the</c><00:32:01.700><c> world</c><00:32:01.839><c> around</c>

us,<00:32:02.779><c> world</c><00:32:03.019><c> around</c><00:32:03.359><c> us.</c>

00:32:03.500 --> 00:32:04.759
Everybody<00:32:03.839><c> wants</c><00:32:04.079><c> to</c><00:32:04.240><c> be</c><00:32:04.519><c> saved.</c>

00:32:04.980 --> 00:32:07.000
You<00:32:04.980><c> know,</c><00:32:05.339><c> they</c><00:32:05.559><c> come</c><00:32:05.779><c> forward</c><00:32:06.039><c> and</c><00:32:06.200><c> they</c><00:32:06.559><c> smack</c><00:32:06.740><c> them</c><00:32:06.859><c> on</c>

00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:08.059
the<00:32:07.180><c> head</c><00:32:07.279><c> and</c><00:32:07.440><c> you're</c><00:32:07.759><c> saved.</c>

00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:09.259
You<00:32:08.240><c> know,</c><00:32:08.339><c> and</c><00:32:08.480><c> this</c><00:32:08.599><c> is</c><00:32:08.720><c> the</c><00:32:08.799><c> way</c><00:32:08.900><c> it</c><00:32:09.059><c> works.</c>

00:32:09.259 --> 00:32:11.240
And,<00:32:09.519><c> you</c><00:32:09.519><c> know,</c><00:32:09.839><c> it's</c><00:32:10.039><c> like,</c><00:32:10.180><c> if</c><00:32:10.279><c> it</c><00:32:10.380><c> was</c><00:32:10.539><c> that</c><00:32:10.819><c> easy,</c><00:32:11.099><c> why</c>

00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:12.200
don't<00:32:11.380><c> they</c><00:32:11.500><c> just</c><00:32:11.720><c> send</c><00:32:11.900><c> out</c><00:32:12.019><c> these</c>

00:32:13.859 --> 00:32:16.400
And<00:32:14.000><c> you</c><00:32:14.099><c> can</c><00:32:14.259><c> get</c><00:32:14.420><c> your</c><00:32:14.559><c> little</c><00:32:14.779><c> package</c><00:32:15.099><c> of</c><00:32:15.359><c> salvation</c><00:32:15.920><c> and</c>

00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:17.200
that's<00:32:16.700><c> the</c><00:32:16.779><c> way,</c><00:32:16.900><c> but</c><00:32:16.980><c> that</c>

00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:18.539

You<00:32:20.859><c> know,</c><00:32:20.980><c> I</c><00:32:21.220><c> accept</c><00:32:21.460><c> Jesus</c><00:32:21.839><c> as</c><00:32:22.019><c> the</c><00:32:22.279><c> savior</c><00:32:22.599><c> of</c><00:32:22.839><c> my</c><00:32:23.099><c> soul</c><00:32:23.359><c> and</c>

00:32:23.579 --> 00:32:24.799
I'm<00:32:23.920><c> saved</c><00:32:24.220><c> now,</c><00:32:24.579><c> once</c>

00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:27.880
saved<00:32:25.019><c> forever,</c><00:32:25.920><c> that's</c><00:32:26.319><c> not</c><00:32:26.559><c> the</c><00:32:26.680><c> way</c><00:32:26.799><c> it</c><00:32:26.980><c> works.</c>

00:32:28.500 --> 00:32:30.380
It's<00:32:28.759><c> not</c><00:32:28.960><c> about</c><00:32:29.420><c> our</c><00:32:29.839><c> salvation.</c>

00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:33.339
It's<00:32:31.059><c> about</c><00:32:31.380><c> God's</c><00:32:32.359><c> purpose.</c>

00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:39.779
God<00:32:35.000><c> has</c><00:32:35.480><c> a</c><00:32:35.700><c> purpose</c><00:32:36.420><c> and</c><00:32:37.460><c> it's</c><00:32:37.720><c> got</c><00:32:37.839><c> nothing</c><00:32:38.079><c> to</c><00:32:38.339><c> do</c><00:32:39.099><c> really</c>

00:32:42.980 --> 00:32:45.839

00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:53.059
He<00:32:46.940><c> has</c><00:32:47.640><c> designed</c><00:32:48.380><c> this</c><00:32:50.039><c> human</c><00:32:50.539><c> race</c><00:32:51.039><c> so</c><00:32:51.700><c> that</c><00:32:51.839><c> he</c><00:32:51.900><c> can</c><00:32:52.119><c> produce</c><00:32:52.599><c> out</c><00:32:52.900><c> of</c>

00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:13.160
So<00:33:08.400><c> what</c><00:33:08.539><c> he</c><00:33:08.700><c> does</c><00:33:09.140><c> is</c><00:33:09.460><c> he</c><00:33:09.619><c> offers</c><00:33:09.940><c> a</c><00:33:10.220><c> means</c><00:33:10.519><c> of</c><00:33:10.859><c> salvation</c><00:33:11.640><c> whereby</c><00:33:12.640><c> his</c>

00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:19.940
So<00:33:17.579><c> really</c><00:33:18.180><c> what</c><00:33:18.359><c> we're</c><00:33:18.539><c> looking</c><00:33:18.839><c> at</c><00:33:19.099><c> then</c><00:33:19.299><c> is</c><00:33:19.440><c> the</c><00:33:19.619><c> purpose</c>

00:33:23.539 --> 00:33:28.000

00:33:28.460 --> 00:33:31.259
It<00:33:28.740><c> is</c><00:33:29.200><c> a</c><00:33:29.519><c> means</c><00:33:29.920><c> to</c><00:33:30.200><c> an</c><00:33:30.420><c> end.</c>

00:33:31.299 --> 00:33:34.359
And<00:33:31.480><c> that</c><00:33:31.799><c> totally</c><00:33:32.099><c> takes</c><00:33:32.460><c> the</c><00:33:32.700><c> perspective</c><00:33:33.240><c> from</c><00:33:33.839><c> me,</c><00:33:34.259><c> me,</c>

00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:36.619
me,<00:33:34.539><c> me,</c><00:33:35.740><c> me</c><00:33:35.740><c> being</c><00:33:36.140><c> saved.</c>

00:33:36.619 --> 00:33:37.759
That's<00:33:37.000><c> what</c><00:33:37.180><c> it's</c><00:33:37.279><c> all</c><00:33:37.480><c> about.</c>

00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:38.599
No,<00:33:38.119><c> it's</c><00:33:38.220><c> not.</c>

00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:40.680
It's<00:33:39.160><c> about</c><00:33:39.339><c> God's</c><00:33:39.720><c> purpose.</c>

00:33:41.019 --> 00:33:47.440
And<00:33:41.099><c> if</c><00:33:41.279><c> I</c><00:33:41.519><c> align</c><00:33:41.880><c> myself</c><00:33:42.640><c> with</c><00:33:43.000><c> God's</c><00:33:43.480><c> purpose,</c><00:33:44.519><c> then</c><00:33:44.799><c> salvation</c><00:33:45.579><c> is</c><00:33:45.980><c> a</c><00:33:46.240><c> byproduct.</c>

00:33:47.660 --> 00:33:52.200
And<00:33:47.900><c> eventually,</c><00:33:49.359><c> if</c><00:33:49.519><c> we</c><00:33:49.940><c> follow</c><00:33:50.380><c> God's</c><00:33:50.920><c> plan,</c><00:33:51.579><c> who</c><00:33:51.759><c> intends</c>

00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:53.680
to<00:33:52.440><c> enthrone</c><00:33:52.759><c> himself</c><00:33:53.180><c> in</c><00:33:53.440><c> our</c>

00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:58.339

00:33:58.339 --> 00:33:59.160
the<00:33:58.500><c> things</c><00:33:58.740><c> we</c>

00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:02.720
think<00:33:59.500><c> and</c><00:33:59.799><c> in</c><00:33:59.940><c> the</c><00:34:00.059><c> way</c><00:34:00.240><c> that</c><00:34:00.480><c> we</c><00:34:00.720><c> walk</c><00:34:01.119><c> by</c><00:34:01.920><c> reading</c><00:34:02.279><c> God's</c>

00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:04.140
book,<00:34:02.980><c> when</c><00:34:03.180><c> he's</c><00:34:03.599><c> finished,</c>

00:34:04.140 --> 00:34:06.119
we<00:34:04.619><c> will</c><00:34:04.900><c> obtain</c><00:34:05.420><c> salvation.</c>

00:34:06.140 --> 00:34:10.219
We<00:34:06.339><c> will</c><00:34:06.500><c> be</c><00:34:06.680><c> part</c><00:34:06.960><c> of</c><00:34:07.259><c> the</c><00:34:07.700><c> great</c><00:34:08.119><c> divine</c><00:34:08.599><c> family</c><00:34:09.079><c> filling</c><00:34:09.480><c> the</c><00:34:09.739><c> earth</c><00:34:09.980><c> to</c>

00:34:10.219 --> 00:34:10.960
the<00:34:10.619><c> explosion</c>

00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:14.000
in<00:34:11.179><c> the</c><00:34:11.400><c> end</c><00:34:11.800><c> of</c><00:34:12.340><c> a</c><00:34:12.480><c> mortal</c><00:34:12.820><c> population.</c>

00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:19.599
But<00:34:14.639><c> we've</c><00:34:14.900><c> got</c><00:34:15.000><c> to</c><00:34:15.179><c> grasp</c><00:34:15.539><c> that,</c><00:34:16.380><c> that</c><00:34:16.559><c> it's</c><00:34:17.760><c> not</c><00:34:18.079><c> our</c><00:34:18.400><c> salvation.</c>

00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:21.280
That's<00:34:19.940><c> why</c><00:34:20.139><c> we're</c><00:34:20.360><c> here.</c>

00:34:21.500 --> 00:34:25.059
It's<00:34:22.179><c> God's</c><00:34:22.780><c> purpose</c><00:34:23.219><c> in</c><00:34:23.619><c> reflecting</c><00:34:24.059><c> himself</c><00:34:24.639><c> throughout</c>

through<00:34:25.400><c> us.</c>

00:34:26.099 --> 00:34:30.119
It's<00:34:26.699><c> a</c><00:34:26.880><c> byproduct</c><00:34:27.559><c> and</c><00:34:28.539><c> we're</c><00:34:29.159><c> thankful</c><00:34:29.340><c> for</c><00:34:29.699><c> that.</c>

00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:33.500
And<00:34:30.900><c> it's</c><00:34:31.099><c> part</c><00:34:31.320><c> of</c><00:34:31.460><c> what</c><00:34:31.639><c> he</c><00:34:31.840><c> has</c><00:34:32.059><c> designed</c><00:34:32.400><c> for</c><00:34:32.639><c> us</c><00:34:32.739><c> in</c><00:34:32.880><c> his</c><00:34:33.079><c> grace.</c>

00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:35.880
That's<00:34:34.320><c> not</c><00:34:34.500><c> why</c><00:34:34.679><c> we're</c><00:34:34.880><c> here.</c>

00:34:36.099 --> 00:34:37.619
That's<00:34:36.280><c> why</c><00:34:36.420><c> the</c><00:34:36.619><c> world</c><00:34:36.940><c> thinks</c><00:34:37.260><c> it's</c><00:34:37.400><c> there.</c>

00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:38.840
And<00:34:37.780><c> that's</c><00:34:37.960><c> why</c><00:34:38.099><c> they</c><00:34:38.280><c> can</c><00:34:38.519><c> design.</c>

00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:41.619
They<00:34:39.000><c> can</c><00:34:39.300><c> tailor</c><00:34:39.599><c> make</c><00:34:40.119><c> the</c><00:34:40.460><c> different</c><00:34:40.800><c> things</c><00:34:41.199><c> that</c><00:34:41.360><c> they</c>

00:34:43.139 --> 00:34:45.460
