A<00:08:25.699><c> scornor</c><00:08:26.100><c> is</c><00:08:26.360><c> a</c><00:08:26.459><c> person</c><00:08:26.800><c> who</c><00:08:27.019><c> doesn't</c><00:08:27.279><c> really</c><00:08:28.399><c> value</c><00:08:29.420><c> wisdom.</c>

00:08:31.860 --> 00:08:34.220
And<00:08:32.379><c> he</c><00:08:32.620><c> says</c><00:08:32.779><c> he's</c><00:08:32.899><c> looking</c><00:08:33.240><c> for</c><00:08:33.539><c> it.</c>

00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:38.980
Now,<00:08:34.919><c> I</c><00:08:35.019><c> can</c><00:08:35.240><c> tell</c><00:08:35.379><c> you</c><00:08:35.960><c> an</c><00:08:36.500><c> experience</c><00:08:37.019><c> that</c><00:08:37.279><c> we</c><00:08:37.399><c> had</c><00:08:37.559><c> out</c><00:08:37.740><c> at</c><00:08:37.860><c> Coonaharrowan.</c>

00:08:39.460 --> 00:08:44.379
A<00:08:39.700><c> few</c><00:08:39.840><c> of</c><00:08:40.000><c> us</c><00:08:40.500><c> brethren</c><00:08:40.779><c> managed</c><00:08:41.200><c> to</c><00:08:42.639><c> get</c><00:08:42.879><c> to</c><00:08:43.360><c> have</c><00:08:43.519><c> a</c><00:08:43.639><c> discussion</c><00:08:44.120><c> with</c>

00:08:44.379 --> 00:08:49.700
and<00:08:44.559><c> we</c><00:08:44.720><c> were</c><00:08:44.980><c> invited</c><00:08:45.299><c> to</c><00:08:45.620><c> address</c><00:08:46.299><c> a</c><00:08:47.179><c> group</c><00:08:47.360><c> of</c><00:08:47.720><c> people</c><00:08:48.720><c> who</c>

00:08:49.700 --> 00:08:51.899
met<00:08:49.980><c> in</c><00:08:50.200><c> Mud</c><00:08:50.419><c> Hut</c>

00:08:57.980 --> 00:09:00.399
They<00:08:58.039><c> called</c><00:08:58.220><c> themselves</c><00:08:58.700><c> seekers</c><00:08:59.059><c> after</c><00:08:59.519><c> wisdom.</c>

00:09:00.700 --> 00:09:02.639
Seekers<00:09:00.879><c> after</c><00:09:01.120><c> truth,</c><00:09:01.379><c> I</c><00:09:01.580><c> should</c><00:09:01.759><c> say.</c>

00:09:03.580 --> 00:09:06.460
Now,<00:09:03.980><c> I</c><00:09:04.179><c> can</c><00:09:04.440><c> tell</c><00:09:04.639><c> you</c><00:09:05.519><c> that</c><00:09:05.679><c> obviously</c><00:09:05.960><c> they</c><00:09:06.139><c> were</c><00:09:06.240><c> not</c>

00:09:06.460 --> 00:09:08.080
seeking<00:09:06.759><c> after</c><00:09:07.080><c> truth.</c>

00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.820
They<00:09:08.720><c> were</c><00:09:08.980><c> seeking,</c><00:09:10.820><c> but</c><00:09:10.940><c> they</c><00:09:11.120><c> didn't</c><00:09:11.320><c> really</c><00:09:11.519><c> know</c><00:09:11.639><c> what</c>

00:09:11.820 --> 00:09:13.000
they<00:09:11.960><c> were</c><00:09:12.120><c> seeking.</c>

00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:17.159
And<00:09:14.080><c> they</c><00:09:14.639><c> were</c><00:09:14.799><c> really</c><00:09:15.179><c> all</c><00:09:15.820><c> little</c><00:09:16.200><c> philosophers.</c>

00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.539
Each<00:09:18.820><c> one</c><00:09:19.559><c> saw</c><00:09:19.799><c> themselves</c><00:09:20.100><c> as</c><00:09:20.840><c> a</c><00:09:21.039><c> Plato</c><00:09:21.299><c> or</c><00:09:21.580><c> Socrates.</c>

00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.960
And<00:09:24.120><c> the</c><00:09:24.759><c> truth</c><00:09:25.019><c> was</c><00:09:25.240><c> hitting</c><00:09:25.399><c> them</c><00:09:25.559><c> right</c><00:09:25.679><c> between</c><00:09:26.000><c> the</c><00:09:26.179><c> eyes</c>

00:09:27.460 --> 00:09:31.600
and<00:09:28.019><c> they</c><00:09:28.580><c> really</c><00:09:29.480><c> said,</c><00:09:29.980><c> like</c><00:09:30.240><c> those</c><00:09:30.440><c> on</c><00:09:30.820><c> Mars,</c>

00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.419
we'll<00:09:32.360><c> speak</c><00:09:32.700><c> to</c><00:09:32.820><c> them</c><00:09:32.919><c> more</c><00:09:33.139><c> about</c><00:09:33.320><c> this</c><00:09:33.539><c> matter.</c>

00:09:36.259 --> 00:09:37.379
And<00:09:36.820><c> so...</c>

00:09:37.379 --> 00:09:39.720
A<00:09:37.559><c> similar</c><00:09:37.700><c> thing</c><00:09:37.980><c> happened,</c><00:09:38.720><c> I</c><00:09:38.840><c> suppose,</c><00:09:39.200><c> in</c><00:09:39.320><c> the</c><00:09:39.399><c> middle.</c>

00:09:40.220 --> 00:09:42.320
A<00:09:40.679><c> group,</c><00:09:40.940><c> I</c><00:09:41.100><c> think</c><00:09:41.299><c> it</c><00:09:41.419><c> was</c><00:09:41.480><c> some</c><00:09:41.679><c> council</c><00:09:41.940><c> lecture,</c>

00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.000
and<00:09:42.580><c> they</c><00:09:42.740><c> asked</c><00:09:42.980><c> to</c><00:09:43.139><c> have</c><00:09:43.259><c> a</c><00:09:43.419><c> meeting</c><00:09:43.639><c> with</c><00:09:44.039><c> Paul</c><00:09:44.220><c> and</c><00:09:44.500><c> Mark</c><00:09:44.740><c> and</c><00:09:45.000><c> a</c>

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:46.179
couple<00:09:45.279><c> others.</c>

00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:50.220
They<00:09:47.559><c> do</c><00:09:47.840><c> reckon</c><00:09:48.080><c> that</c><00:09:48.279><c> they</c><00:09:48.460><c> were</c><00:09:48.600><c> trying</c><00:09:48.879><c> to</c><00:09:49.120><c> find</c><00:09:49.240><c> the</c><00:09:49.500><c> truth.</c>

00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.759
But<00:09:50.360><c> when</c><00:09:50.659><c> it</c><00:09:50.799><c> came</c><00:09:51.100><c> to</c><00:09:51.279><c> discussion,</c><00:09:51.799><c> they</c><00:09:52.059><c> all</c><00:09:52.279><c> had</c><00:09:52.460><c> already</c>

00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:53.460
informed<00:09:53.039><c> the</c><00:09:53.240><c> Finns</c>

00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:56.539
that<00:09:54.100><c> the</c><00:09:54.360><c> King</c><00:09:54.500><c> James</c><00:09:54.759><c> version</c><00:09:55.200><c> was</c><00:09:55.519><c> totally</c><00:09:55.919><c> unreliable</c>

00:09:56.539 --> 00:09:59.779
and<00:09:57.220><c> all</c><00:09:57.419><c> this</c><00:09:57.580><c> other</c><00:09:57.799><c> stuff</c><00:09:58.139><c> that</c><00:09:58.940><c> the</c><00:09:58.960><c> bank</c><00:09:59.279><c> is</c><00:09:59.519><c> carrying.</c>

00:09:59.899 --> 00:10:01.740
So<00:10:00.120><c> they</c><00:10:00.279><c> really</c><00:10:00.620><c> did</c><00:10:00.820><c> the</c><00:10:00.940><c> same</c><00:10:01.220><c> situation.</c>

00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:04.960
Remind<00:10:02.379><c> you</c><00:10:02.480><c> what</c><00:10:02.620><c> it</c><00:10:02.860><c> says</c><00:10:03.000><c> in</c><00:10:03.259><c> Timothy</c><00:10:04.059><c> of</c><00:10:04.320><c> ever</c><00:10:04.500><c> learning.</c>

00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.419
They<00:10:05.860><c> were</c><00:10:06.019><c> able</c><00:10:06.019><c> to</c><00:10:06.200><c> come</c><00:10:06.320><c> to</c><00:10:06.500><c> a</c><00:10:06.559><c> knowledge</c><00:10:06.860><c> of</c><00:10:07.059><c> the</c><00:10:07.200><c> truth.</c>

00:10:07.419 --> 00:10:08.519
That's<00:10:07.879><c> right,</c><00:10:08.059><c> yes.</c>

00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.379
But<00:10:08.740><c> that</c><00:10:09.100><c> group</c><00:10:09.519><c> did</c><00:10:09.899><c> not</c><00:10:10.539><c> support</c><00:10:11.000><c> that.</c>

00:10:11.539 --> 00:10:13.080
They<00:10:11.539><c> had</c><00:10:11.720><c> to</c><00:10:11.940><c> write</c><00:10:12.120><c> their</c><00:10:12.460><c> own</c><00:10:12.740><c> bias.</c>

00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:15.299
Oh,<00:10:13.899><c> I</c><00:10:14.059><c> agree</c><00:10:14.220><c> with</c><00:10:14.799><c> you.</c>

00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.059
You<00:10:15.679><c> see,</c><00:10:16.019><c> that's</c><00:10:16.360><c> the</c><00:10:16.559><c> philosopher's</c><00:10:17.259><c> approach.</c>

00:10:18.379 --> 00:10:23.240
The<00:10:18.600><c> philosopher</c><00:10:19.240><c> will</c><00:10:21.059><c> often</c><00:10:21.799><c> arrive</c><00:10:22.399><c> at</c><00:10:22.600><c> a</c><00:10:22.779><c> conclusion</c>

00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:25.580
and<00:10:23.559><c> then</c><00:10:23.820><c> work</c><00:10:24.080><c> out</c><00:10:24.240><c> how</c><00:10:24.419><c> to</c><00:10:24.539><c> get</c><00:10:24.740><c> there.</c>

00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.500
And<00:10:27.759><c> that's</c><00:10:28.360><c> what</c><00:10:28.600><c> those</c><00:10:28.879><c> people</c><00:10:29.139><c> are</c><00:10:29.320><c> used</c><00:10:29.580><c> to</c><00:10:29.740><c> like.</c>

00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:32.580
Okay.<00:10:31.259><c> They</c><00:10:31.519><c> agreed</c><00:10:31.720><c> to</c><00:10:32.019><c> pass</c><00:10:32.340><c> it.</c>

00:10:32.580 --> 00:10:33.179
...

00:10:37.899 --> 00:10:40.820
Do<00:10:38.379><c> you</c><00:10:38.779><c> think</c><00:10:39.639><c> Frank</c><00:10:39.779><c> liked</c><00:10:39.960><c> the</c><00:10:40.179><c> bottle?</c>

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:41.919
No.

00:10:42.379 --> 00:10:44.500
Frank<00:10:42.860><c> liked</c><00:10:43.100><c> it</c><00:10:43.279><c> in</c><00:10:43.440><c> the</c><00:10:43.480><c> way</c><00:10:43.820><c> that</c><00:10:44.059><c> they</c><00:10:44.279><c> could.</c>

00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:48.000
Frank<00:10:44.980><c> thought</c><00:10:45.700><c> it</c><00:10:46.679><c> was</c><00:10:46.860><c> on</c><00:10:47.039><c> fire,</c>

00:10:48.100 --> 00:10:52.340
because<00:10:48.580><c> he</c><00:10:48.779><c> didn't</c><00:10:49.159><c> like</c><00:10:49.419><c> that</c><00:10:49.740><c> which</c><00:10:49.940><c> was</c><00:10:50.500><c> commanded</c><00:10:51.000><c> in</c><00:10:51.279><c> it.</c>

00:10:53.779 --> 00:10:55.360
Was<00:10:54.259><c> that</c><00:10:54.519><c> a</c><00:10:54.659><c> novel?</c>

00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:57.980
Book<00:10:56.100><c> of</c><00:10:56.220><c> Mormon,</c><00:10:56.539><c> 10</c><00:10:56.759><c> days</c><00:10:56.919><c> in</c><00:10:57.159><c> a</c><00:10:57.340><c> novel</c><00:10:57.580><c> or</c><00:10:57.779><c> something?</c>

00:10:57.980 --> 00:10:59.080
It<00:10:58.799><c> is.</c>

00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.360
Although<00:10:59.580><c> what</c><00:11:00.039><c> he</c><00:11:00.139><c> did</c><00:11:00.440><c> was</c><00:11:01.000><c> to</c><00:11:01.820><c> pick</c><00:11:01.980><c> and</c><00:11:02.139><c> choose</c>

00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:03.899

00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:06.659
Because<00:11:04.259><c> we</c><00:11:04.299><c> have</c><00:11:04.500><c> slabs</c><00:11:04.940><c> of</c><00:11:05.580><c> the</c><00:11:05.820><c> book</c><00:11:05.919><c> of</c><00:11:05.919><c> Mormon</c>

00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:16.700
The<00:11:14.539><c> sad</c><00:11:14.700><c> thing</c><00:11:14.919><c> is</c><00:11:15.279><c> that</c><00:11:15.460><c> in</c><00:11:15.639><c> this</c><00:11:15.879><c> age</c><00:11:16.139><c> in</c><00:11:16.200><c> which</c><00:11:16.419><c> we</c><00:11:16.539><c> live,</c>

00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:18.980
we're<00:11:17.059><c> heavily</c><00:11:17.259><c> influenced</c><00:11:17.679><c> as</c><00:11:17.879><c> we</c><00:11:18.000><c> are</c><00:11:18.200><c> by</c><00:11:18.399><c> humanism,</c>

00:11:22.379 --> 00:11:25.320
rather<00:11:22.759><c> than</c><00:11:23.179><c> what</c><00:11:23.320><c> does</c><00:11:23.519><c> the</c><00:11:23.659><c> Bible</c><00:11:23.919><c> say</c><00:11:24.240><c> being</c><00:11:24.460><c> their</c><00:11:24.700><c> first</c><00:11:24.919><c> approach,</c>

00:11:25.379 --> 00:11:26.460
their<00:11:25.559><c> first</c><00:11:25.860><c> approach</c><00:11:26.220><c> is,</c>

00:11:26.460 --> 00:11:27.899
Well,<00:11:26.740><c> what</c><00:11:26.860><c> I</c><00:11:27.039><c> think</c><00:11:27.299><c> is...</c>

00:11:27.899 --> 00:11:28.440
Oh<00:11:28.179><c> yes.</c>

00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.000
And<00:11:28.840><c> then</c><00:11:29.220><c> it's</c><00:11:29.460><c> the</c><00:11:29.600><c> same</c><00:11:29.799><c> sort</c><00:11:30.039><c> of</c><00:11:30.259><c> thing,</c><00:11:30.580><c> isn't</c><00:11:30.580><c> it?</c>

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:32.720
It<00:11:31.019><c> doesn't</c><00:11:31.320><c> matter</c><00:11:31.600><c> what</c><00:11:31.820><c> we</c><00:11:32.059><c> have.</c>

00:11:33.059 --> 00:11:36.279
I<00:11:33.240><c> think</c><00:11:33.379><c> I</c><00:11:33.519><c> was</c><00:11:33.679><c> very</c><00:11:34.000><c> fortunate</c><00:11:34.360><c> when</c><00:11:35.480><c> I</c><00:11:35.759><c> would</c><00:11:36.000><c> come</c><00:11:36.139><c> in</c>

00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:40.139
to<00:11:36.399><c> go</c><00:11:36.500><c> into</c><00:11:36.700><c> Sunday</c><00:11:36.919><c> school</c><00:11:37.279><c> and</c><00:11:37.559><c> that</c><00:11:37.840><c> was</c><00:11:38.639><c> that</c><00:11:39.039><c> I</c><00:11:39.200><c> knew</c><00:11:39.299><c> nothing.</c>

00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:44.440
I<00:11:41.399><c> had</c><00:11:41.700><c> no</c><00:11:41.899><c> real</c><00:11:42.259><c> ideas</c><00:11:42.600><c> about</c><00:11:43.500><c> the</c><00:11:43.720><c> Bible.</c>

00:11:45.700 --> 00:11:47.639
I<00:11:46.179><c> suppose</c><00:11:46.399><c> I</c><00:11:46.559><c> was</c><00:11:46.700><c> just</c><00:11:46.899><c> curious.</c>

00:11:50.179 --> 00:11:54.179
Now<00:11:50.659><c> the</c><00:11:51.100><c> last</c><00:11:51.340><c> one</c><00:11:51.519><c> on</c><00:11:51.960><c> this</c><00:11:52.639><c> subject</c><00:11:53.200><c> of,</c><00:11:53.779><c> you</c><00:11:54.019><c> know,</c>

00:11:54.179 --> 00:11:55.360
only<00:11:54.460><c> the</c><00:11:54.740><c> wise</c><00:11:54.940><c> will</c><00:11:55.159><c> hear,</c>

00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:58.440
is<00:11:55.620><c> in</c><00:11:55.919><c> Proverbs</c><00:11:56.139><c> 25</c>

00:12:04.299 --> 00:12:06.019
and<00:12:04.840><c> verse</c><00:12:05.379><c> 2.</c>

00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:08.120
This<00:12:06.519><c> is</c><00:12:06.779><c> an</c><00:12:07.059><c> interesting</c><00:12:07.539><c> one.</c>

00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:10.019
It's<00:12:08.720><c> often</c><00:12:08.899><c> quoted,</c><00:12:09.360><c> isn't</c><00:12:09.480><c> it?</c>

00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:13.779
It<00:12:10.500><c> is</c><00:12:10.740><c> the</c><00:12:10.840><c> glory</c><00:12:11.179><c> of</c><00:12:11.440><c> God</c><00:12:11.679><c> to</c><00:12:11.960><c> consider</c><00:12:12.320><c> the</c><00:12:12.539><c> things,</c>

00:12:13.940 --> 00:12:18.240
but<00:12:14.039><c> the</c><00:12:14.259><c> honour</c><00:12:14.419><c> of</c><00:12:14.700><c> kings</c><00:12:15.080><c> is</c><00:12:16.100><c> to</c><00:12:16.360><c> search</c><00:12:16.620><c> out</c><00:12:16.960><c> for</c><00:12:17.200><c> matter.</c>

00:12:22.419 --> 00:12:28.580
There<00:12:23.399><c> are</c><00:12:24.379><c> various</c><00:12:24.679><c> translations</c><00:12:25.519><c> of</c><00:12:27.000><c> this</c><00:12:27.519><c> verse.</c>

00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:34.419
Generally<00:12:29.539><c> it's</c><00:12:30.279><c> stated</c><00:12:30.639><c> that</c><00:12:31.659><c> it</c><00:12:32.159><c> is</c><00:12:32.820><c> the</c><00:12:33.039><c> honour</c><00:12:33.240><c> of</c><00:12:34.100><c> those</c>

00:12:34.419 --> 00:12:36.360
who<00:12:34.659><c> would</c><00:12:34.899><c> be</c><00:12:35.299><c> kings.</c>

00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.480
It's<00:12:37.539><c> a</c><00:12:37.539><c> future</c><00:12:38.600><c> tense</c><00:12:39.360><c> apparently.</c>

00:12:42.220 --> 00:12:44.340
So,<00:12:42.539><c> you</c><00:12:42.539><c> know,</c><00:12:42.879><c> God</c><00:12:43.100><c> has</c><00:12:43.399><c> concealed</c><00:12:43.919><c> the</c><00:12:44.220><c> matter.</c>

00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:46.360
He's<00:12:44.720><c> concealed</c><00:12:45.240><c> the</c><00:12:45.720><c> truth.</c>

00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:50.200
It's<00:12:47.679><c> not</c><00:12:47.779><c> their</c><00:12:48.080><c> plan</c><00:12:48.299><c> as</c><00:12:48.559><c> long</c><00:12:48.740><c> as</c><00:12:48.820><c> Jesus</c><00:12:49.120><c> Christ</c><00:12:49.440><c> made</c><00:12:49.840><c> very</c>

clear<00:12:50.360><c> to</c><00:12:50.559><c> us.</c>

00:12:51.740 --> 00:12:56.799
It's<00:12:51.840><c> not</c><00:12:52.179><c> theirs</c><00:12:52.659><c> in</c><00:12:54.519><c> very</c><00:12:55.059><c> blunt</c><00:12:55.440><c> language</c>

00:12:57.139 --> 00:13:00.679
that<00:12:57.659><c> you</c><00:12:57.820><c> can</c><00:12:58.059><c> just</c><00:12:58.299><c> take</c><00:12:58.460><c> off</c><00:12:58.679><c> the</c><00:12:58.940><c> silver</c><00:12:59.139><c> plate</c><00:13:00.000><c> when</c><00:13:00.480><c> it's</c>

00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:01.539
dished<00:13:00.940><c> up</c><00:13:01.120><c> to</c><00:13:01.320><c> you.</c>

00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:03.679
You've<00:13:01.840><c> got</c><00:13:01.940><c> to</c><00:13:02.080><c> make</c><00:13:02.220><c> a</c><00:13:02.259><c> little</c><00:13:02.460><c> bit</c><00:13:02.659><c> of</c><00:13:02.720><c> an</c><00:13:02.879><c> effort.</c>

00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:08.580
And<00:13:04.360><c> that's</c><00:13:04.940><c> why</c><00:13:05.259><c> it</c><00:13:05.440><c> is</c><00:13:05.659><c> our</c><00:13:05.919><c> honour</c><00:13:06.220><c> if</c><00:13:06.500><c> we</c><00:13:06.720><c> would</c><00:13:07.000><c> be</c><00:13:07.279><c> kings</c>

00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:10.799

00:13:10.820 --> 00:13:13.679
Kings<00:13:11.179><c> and</c><00:13:11.480><c> priests</c><00:13:11.899><c> and</c><00:13:12.360><c> rain</c><00:13:12.500><c> on</c><00:13:12.720><c> the</c><00:13:12.899><c> earth.</c>

00:13:15.139 --> 00:13:18.500
It's<00:13:15.620><c> our</c><00:13:15.820><c> honour</c><00:13:15.960><c> to</c><00:13:16.320><c> search</c><00:13:16.899><c> these</c><00:13:17.259><c> things</c><00:13:17.659><c> out.</c>

00:13:18.820 --> 00:13:21.580
And<00:13:19.039><c> it's</c><00:13:19.220><c> only</c><00:13:19.539><c> those</c><00:13:19.899><c> who</c><00:13:20.100><c> have</c><00:13:20.279><c> that</c><00:13:20.539><c> attitude</c>

00:13:21.779 --> 00:13:24.759
who<00:13:22.259><c> will</c><00:13:22.600><c> actually</c><00:13:23.460><c> search</c><00:13:23.799><c> it</c><00:13:24.019><c> out.</c>

00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.840
Unlike<00:13:25.220><c> those</c><00:13:25.519><c> people</c><00:13:25.759><c> that</c><00:13:25.879><c> we've</c><00:13:26.039><c> just</c><00:13:26.299><c> been</c><00:13:26.539><c> talking</c><00:13:26.879><c> about.</c>

00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:30.679
We're<00:13:28.759><c> all</c><00:13:28.879><c> encamped</c><00:13:29.159><c> at</c><00:13:29.299><c> the</c><00:13:29.340><c> end</c><00:13:29.500><c> of</c><00:13:29.639><c> the</c><00:13:29.840><c> tunnel.</c>

00:13:30.980 --> 00:13:32.960
I<00:13:31.120><c> think</c><00:13:31.460><c> the</c><00:13:31.720><c> Master</c><00:13:31.960><c> said,</c>

00:13:33.820 --> 00:13:34.860
when<00:13:34.000><c> I'm</c><00:13:34.179><c> speaking</c><00:13:34.399><c> of</c><00:13:34.659><c> parables,</c>

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.200
he<00:13:35.080><c> said</c><00:13:35.139><c> I'm</c><00:13:35.360><c> speaking</c><00:13:35.600><c> of</c><00:13:35.860><c> parables</c><00:13:36.620><c> to</c><00:13:37.000><c> hide</c><00:13:37.220><c> the</c><00:13:37.419><c> truth.</c>

00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:39.860
Yes,<00:13:38.600><c> in</c><00:13:38.679><c> effect,</c><00:13:38.960><c> yes.</c>

00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:41.440
So<00:13:40.480><c> those</c><00:13:40.700><c> who</c><00:13:40.919><c> wanted</c><00:13:41.039><c> to</c><00:13:41.279><c> know,</c>

00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.799
they<00:13:41.600><c> can</c><00:13:41.899><c> make</c><00:13:42.019><c> an</c><00:13:42.220><c> effort</c><00:13:42.460><c> to</c><00:13:43.179><c> find</c><00:13:43.500><c> out</c><00:13:43.679><c> what</c><00:13:43.919><c> you</c><00:13:44.700><c> spoke</c><00:13:45.120><c> of.</c>

00:13:46.580 --> 00:13:50.460
It's<00:13:47.059><c> like</c><00:13:47.340><c> that</c><00:13:47.620><c> in</c><00:13:48.860><c> many</c><00:13:49.659><c> aspects</c><00:13:50.039><c> of</c><00:13:50.299><c> business.</c>

00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:52.460
I<00:13:50.759><c> remember</c><00:13:51.019><c> it</c><00:13:51.100><c> was</c><00:13:51.240><c> a</c><00:13:51.299><c> chemical</c><00:13:51.559><c> business.</c>

00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.100
I<00:13:52.639><c> knew</c><00:13:52.860><c> that</c><00:13:53.120><c> if</c><00:13:53.539><c> a</c><00:13:54.139><c> customer</c><00:13:54.480><c> asked</c><00:13:54.700><c> for</c><00:13:54.879><c> a</c><00:13:55.000><c> free</c><00:13:55.240><c> sample,</c>

00:13:56.820 --> 00:14:00.720
I'd<00:13:56.980><c> be</c><00:13:57.080><c> lucky</c><00:13:57.299><c> if</c><00:13:57.480><c> they</c><00:13:58.700><c> even</c><00:13:59.059><c> bothered</c><00:13:59.240><c> testing</c><00:13:59.659><c> it.</c>

00:14:00.820 --> 00:14:02.899
If<00:14:01.100><c> they</c><00:14:01.320><c> agreed</c><00:14:01.500><c> to</c><00:14:01.659><c> buy</c><00:14:01.919><c> a</c><00:14:02.159><c> sample,</c>

00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:06.879
then<00:14:04.100><c> I</c><00:14:04.360><c> knew</c><00:14:04.559><c> they</c><00:14:04.720><c> would</c><00:14:04.899><c> test</c><00:14:05.120><c> it.</c>

00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.799
There's<00:14:08.200><c> got</c><00:14:08.360><c> to</c><00:14:08.440><c> be</c><00:14:08.539><c> some</c><00:14:08.720><c> effort</c><00:14:08.960><c> in</c><00:14:09.360><c> that</c><00:14:09.639><c> case</c>

00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:11.340
for<00:14:10.100><c> them</c><00:14:10.299><c> to</c><00:14:10.379><c> have</c><00:14:10.379><c> it</c><00:14:10.519><c> in</c><00:14:10.620><c> their</c><00:14:10.659><c> pocket.</c>

00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:15.039
But,<00:14:12.720><c> you</c><00:14:12.940><c> know,</c><00:14:13.100><c> that's</c><00:14:13.440><c> the</c><00:14:13.580><c> same</c><00:14:13.740><c> principle,</c><00:14:14.159><c> isn't</c><00:14:14.279><c> it?</c>

00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:16.779
Okay,<00:14:15.360><c> let's</c><00:14:15.539><c> go</c><00:14:15.700><c> back</c><00:14:15.899><c> to</c><00:14:16.059><c> chapter</c><00:14:16.279><c> 8</c><00:14:16.500><c> then.</c>

00:14:16.899 --> 00:14:18.700
Oh,<00:14:17.220><c> no,</c><00:14:17.360><c> we</c><00:14:17.419><c> won't</c><00:14:17.580><c> go</c><00:14:17.720><c> to</c><00:14:17.840><c> chapter</c><00:14:18.059><c> 8</c><00:14:18.200><c> quite</c><00:14:18.480><c> yet</c>

00:14:18.700 --> 00:14:20.580
because<00:14:19.440><c> I</c><00:14:19.840><c> want</c><00:14:19.919><c> you</c><00:14:20.039><c> to</c><00:14:20.120><c> bear</c><00:14:20.279><c> in</c><00:14:20.480><c> mind</c>

00:14:20.580 --> 00:14:23.419
what<00:14:20.740><c> we</c><00:14:20.960><c> just</c><00:14:21.460><c> saw</c><00:14:21.659><c> in</c><00:14:21.879><c> chapter</c><00:14:22.159><c> 25</c><00:14:22.700><c> verse</c><00:14:22.960><c> 2</c>

00:14:23.419 --> 00:14:27.600
because<00:14:23.960><c> that</c><00:14:24.240><c> comes</c><00:14:24.700><c> into</c><00:14:25.639><c> consideration</c><00:14:26.340><c> at</c><00:14:26.559><c> chapter</c><00:14:26.799><c> 8.</c>

00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.639
But<00:14:28.659><c> the</c><00:14:29.019><c> big</c><00:14:30.240><c> concern</c><00:14:30.899><c> about</c><00:14:31.179><c> all</c><00:14:31.419><c> this</c>

00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.919
is<00:14:32.120><c> our</c><00:14:33.120><c> capability</c><00:14:33.960><c> to</c><00:14:34.340><c> deceive</c><00:14:34.620><c> ourselves.</c>

00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:38.500
You<00:14:37.059><c> know</c><00:14:37.299><c> the</c><00:14:37.559><c> classics.</c>

00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:42.120
The<00:14:39.539><c> hard</c><00:14:39.679><c> man</c><00:14:40.059><c> is</c>

00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.259
eager<00:14:42.460><c> about</c><00:14:42.740><c> all</c><00:14:42.899><c> things</c><00:14:43.179><c> and</c><00:14:43.440><c> desperately</c><00:14:43.860><c> with</c><00:14:44.139><c> it.</c>

00:14:44.259 --> 00:14:45.820
Who<00:14:44.419><c> can</c><00:14:44.700><c> know</c><00:14:44.840><c> it?</c>

00:14:46.059 --> 00:14:49.259
We<00:14:46.539><c> can</c><00:14:46.919><c> fool</c><00:14:47.000><c> ourselves</c><00:14:47.659><c> so</c><00:14:48.440><c> readily.</c>

00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:50.659
And<00:14:49.639><c> in</c><00:14:49.899><c> Proverbs</c><00:14:50.080><c> 12,</c>

00:14:50.820 --> 00:14:53.639
we'll<00:14:51.240><c> go</c><00:14:51.340><c> to</c><00:14:52.159><c> a</c><00:14:52.179><c> couple</c><00:14:52.460><c> of</c><00:14:52.700><c> places</c><00:14:52.879><c> here</c><00:14:53.220><c> in</c><00:14:53.399><c> Proverbs</c>

00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:58.840
and<00:14:53.899><c> we'll</c><00:14:54.100><c> see</c><00:14:55.159><c> how</c><00:14:56.080><c> Solomon</c><00:14:56.559><c> reinforces</c><00:14:57.500><c> this</c><00:14:57.840><c> idea.</c>

00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:02.799
In<00:15:00.159><c> Proverbs</c><00:15:00.600><c> 12</c><00:15:01.100><c> and</c><00:15:01.340><c> verse</c><00:15:01.559><c> 15</c><00:15:02.159><c> he</c><00:15:02.379><c> says,</c>

00:15:03.220 --> 00:15:06.399
the<00:15:03.220><c> way</c><00:15:03.539><c> of</c><00:15:03.700><c> a</c><00:15:03.919><c> fool</c><00:15:04.100><c> is</c><00:15:04.480><c> right</c><00:15:04.659><c> in</c><00:15:04.840><c> his</c><00:15:05.039><c> own</c><00:15:05.299><c> eyes,</c>

00:15:07.220 --> 00:15:10.679
but<00:15:07.379><c> he</c><00:15:07.519><c> that</c><00:15:07.679><c> harkeneth</c><00:15:08.200><c> unto</c><00:15:08.460><c> counsel</c><00:15:09.159><c> is</c><00:15:09.679><c> wise.</c>

00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:17.200
You<00:15:13.559><c> see,</c><00:15:15.000><c> the</c><00:15:15.379><c> fool,</c><00:15:15.860><c> the</c><00:15:15.860><c> one</c><00:15:15.980><c> who</c><00:15:16.080><c> knows</c><00:15:16.360><c> everything,</c>

00:15:18.299 --> 00:15:19.799
he's<00:15:18.820><c> wise.</c>

00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:21.320
He's<00:15:20.259><c> right.</c><00:15:20.480><c> He</c><00:15:20.559><c> can</c><00:15:20.720><c> never</c><00:15:20.919><c> be</c><00:15:21.120><c> wrong.</c>

00:15:21.379 --> 00:15:24.559
He<00:15:21.440><c> doesn't</c><00:15:21.700><c> need</c><00:15:22.019><c> instruction</c><00:15:22.600><c> and</c><00:15:22.980><c> he</c><00:15:23.059><c> doesn't</c><00:15:23.379><c> need</c><00:15:23.620><c> wisdom.</c>

00:15:25.059 --> 00:15:27.419
The<00:15:25.559><c> one</c><00:15:25.720><c> who's</c><00:15:25.879><c> willing</c><00:15:26.080><c> to</c><00:15:26.279><c> listen,</c>

00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:29.259
he's<00:15:27.899><c> actually</c><00:15:28.299><c> wise.</c>

00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:31.820
And<00:15:30.120><c> there's</c><00:15:30.220><c> that</c><00:15:30.419><c> principle</c><00:15:30.700><c> once</c><00:15:31.000><c> again</c>

00:15:31.820 --> 00:15:33.960
that<00:15:32.639><c> if</c><00:15:33.000><c> you</c><00:15:33.200><c> want</c><00:15:33.299><c> to</c><00:15:33.460><c> gain</c><00:15:33.620><c> wisdom,</c>

00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:35.600
you've<00:15:34.200><c> got</c><00:15:34.299><c> to</c><00:15:34.399><c> be</c><00:15:34.480><c> wise.</c>

00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:41.419
In<00:15:36.519><c> chapter</c><00:15:36.820><c> 14</c><00:15:38.019><c> and</c><00:15:40.139><c> verse</c><00:15:40.399><c> 12,</c>

00:15:41.899 --> 00:15:42.899
the<00:15:41.940><c> same</c><00:15:42.120><c> idea</c><00:15:42.500><c> is</c><00:15:42.700><c> stated.</c>

00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.059
There<00:15:43.179><c> is</c><00:15:43.460><c> a</c><00:15:43.620><c> way</c><00:15:43.799><c> which</c><00:15:44.059><c> seemeth</c><00:15:44.419><c> right</c><00:15:44.679><c> unto</c><00:15:44.919><c> a</c><00:15:45.159><c> man.</c>

00:15:46.460 --> 00:15:48.820
At<00:15:46.580><c> the</c><00:15:46.720><c> end</c><00:15:46.860><c> thereof</c><00:15:47.220><c> are</c><00:15:47.340><c> the</c><00:15:47.460><c> ways</c><00:15:47.639><c> of</c><00:15:47.879><c> death.</c>

00:15:49.340 --> 00:15:52.700
Now<00:15:49.659><c> how</c><00:15:49.840><c> many</c><00:15:50.220><c> countless</c><00:15:50.659><c> millions</c><00:15:51.179><c> of</c><00:15:51.539><c> people</c>

00:15:52.700 --> 00:15:57.639
believe<00:15:54.200><c> that</c><00:15:54.860><c> their</c><00:15:55.240><c> way</c><00:15:55.720><c> is</c><00:15:56.600><c> right</c>

00:15:57.700 --> 00:16:01.879

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:06.259
At<00:16:02.879><c> the</c><00:16:03.019><c> end</c><00:16:03.200><c> thereof</c><00:16:03.840><c> are</c><00:16:04.519><c> the</c><00:16:04.740><c> ways</c><00:16:05.039><c> of</c><00:16:05.419><c> death.</c>

00:16:06.820 --> 00:16:12.740
And<00:16:07.019><c> finally</c><00:16:07.320><c> chapter</c><00:16:07.580><c> 21</c><00:16:08.799><c> and</c><00:16:10.960><c> verse</c><00:16:11.419><c> 2,</c>

00:16:14.620 --> 00:16:17.879
every<00:16:14.820><c> way</c><00:16:15.320><c> of</c><00:16:15.639><c> a</c><00:16:15.820><c> man</c><00:16:16.059><c> is</c><00:16:16.480><c> right</c><00:16:16.759><c> in</c><00:16:17.000><c> his</c><00:16:17.279><c> own</c><00:16:17.500><c> eyes,</c>

00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:27.720
So<00:16:23.080><c> it's</c><00:16:23.220><c> not</c><00:16:24.080><c> our</c><00:16:26.120><c> idea</c><00:16:26.500><c> that</c><00:16:26.799><c> counts.</c>

00:16:28.940 --> 00:16:31.419

00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:33.480
It<00:16:32.419><c> is</c><00:16:32.779><c> God.</c>

00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.639
And<00:16:34.220><c> it</c><00:16:34.399><c> is</c><00:16:34.580><c> God's</c><00:16:34.919><c> prerogative,</c><00:16:35.440><c> therefore,</c>

00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:27.460
We<00:20:26.279><c> might</c><00:20:26.420><c> talk</c><00:20:26.640><c> about</c><00:20:26.779><c> the</c><00:20:27.019><c> strange</c><00:20:27.220><c> woman,</c>

00:20:27.539 --> 00:20:29.400

00:20:29.980 --> 00:20:33.700

00:20:34.059 --> 00:20:36.039

00:20:38.819 --> 00:20:42.339
It's<00:20:39.000><c> not</c><00:20:39.140><c> as</c><00:20:39.420><c> if,</c><00:20:40.400><c> it's</c><00:20:41.220><c> sort</c><00:20:41.359><c> of</c><00:20:41.500><c> whispering.</c>

00:20:42.619 --> 00:20:46.140
It's<00:20:42.839><c> not</c><00:20:42.980><c> as</c><00:20:43.160><c> if</c><00:20:43.180><c> it's</c><00:20:43.400><c> something</c><00:20:43.819><c> that</c><00:20:44.059><c> you've</c><00:20:44.299><c> got</c><00:20:44.500><c> a</c><00:20:44.619><c> strain</c><00:20:44.940><c> to</c><00:20:45.240><c> hear.</c>

00:20:46.339 --> 00:20:48.500
It's<00:20:46.700><c> not</c><00:20:46.839><c> as</c><00:20:47.019><c> if</c><00:20:47.079><c> it's</c><00:20:47.299><c> not</c><00:20:47.500><c> being</c><00:20:47.819><c> broadcast.</c>

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:52.519
In<00:20:49.079><c> fact,</c><00:20:49.559><c> she</c><00:20:49.799><c> stands</c><00:20:50.240><c> in</c><00:20:50.480><c> the</c><00:20:50.680><c> top</c><00:20:50.839><c> of</c><00:20:51.099><c> high</c><00:20:51.359><c> places,</c>

00:20:56.180 --> 00:21:00.339
This<00:20:56.819><c> cry</c><00:20:57.460><c> to</c><00:20:58.579><c> come</c><00:20:58.960><c> and</c><00:20:59.099><c> get</c><00:20:59.339><c> wisdom</c>

00:21:04.140 --> 00:21:06.220
It<00:21:04.460><c> is</c><00:21:04.759><c> loud</c><00:21:05.180><c> and</c><00:21:05.880><c> clear.</c>

00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:09.119
It<00:21:06.960><c> is</c><00:21:07.200><c> not</c><00:21:07.500><c> possible</c><00:21:07.900><c> to</c><00:21:08.180><c> miss</c><00:21:08.339><c> it</c>

00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:12.119
if<00:21:09.720><c> you</c><00:21:10.000><c> have</c><00:21:10.259><c> ears</c><00:21:10.759><c> to</c><00:21:11.160><c> hear.</c>

00:21:14.859 --> 00:21:17.119
And<00:21:15.460><c> the</c><00:21:15.940><c> appeal</c><00:21:16.200><c> is</c><00:21:16.460><c> going</c><00:21:16.700><c> out,</c>

00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:26.079
We<00:21:24.319><c> must</c><00:21:24.579><c> not</c><00:21:24.819><c> make</c><00:21:25.059><c> the</c><00:21:25.200><c> mistake</c><00:21:25.559><c> of</c><00:21:25.779><c> thinking</c>

00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:35.700

00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:56.660

And<00:26:59.960><c> we</c><00:27:00.819><c> move</c><00:27:01.019><c> on</c><00:27:01.200><c> then</c><00:27:01.319><c> to</c><00:27:01.500><c> 7</c><00:27:01.779><c> and</c><00:27:01.819><c> 8</c>

00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:05.640
and<00:27:02.319><c> we</c><00:27:02.599><c> see</c><00:27:03.140><c> what</c><00:27:04.220><c> is</c><00:27:04.400><c> being</c><00:27:04.740><c> taught.</c>

00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:08.819
My<00:27:06.480><c> mouth</c><00:27:06.859><c> shall</c><00:27:07.140><c> speak</c><00:27:07.599><c> truth</c>

00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:14.140
and<00:27:10.359><c> wickedness</c><00:27:11.000><c> is</c><00:27:11.559><c> an</c><00:27:11.880><c> abomination</c><00:27:12.599><c> to</c><00:27:12.940><c> my</c><00:27:13.140><c> lips.</c>

00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:17.339
All<00:27:15.079><c> the</c><00:27:15.259><c> words</c><00:27:15.519><c> of</c><00:27:15.720><c> my</c><00:27:15.960><c> mouth</c><00:27:16.160><c> are</c><00:27:16.480><c> in</c><00:27:16.740><c> righteousness.</c>

00:27:17.339 --> 00:27:20.900
There<00:27:17.920><c> is</c><00:27:18.160><c> nothing</c><00:27:18.579><c> foward</c><00:27:19.200><c> or</c><00:27:19.579><c> perverse</c><00:27:20.259><c> in</c><00:27:20.599><c> them.</c>

00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:25.640
Now<00:27:21.779><c> here</c><00:27:22.119><c> in</c><00:27:22.519><c> these</c><00:27:23.619><c> words</c><00:27:24.160><c> of</c><00:27:25.180><c> wisdom,</c>

00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:29.640
these<00:27:26.059><c> words</c><00:27:26.299><c> spoken</c><00:27:26.839><c> by</c><00:27:28.019><c> wisdom</c><00:27:28.400><c> the</c><00:27:28.640><c> woman,</c>

00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:35.839
we<00:27:31.460><c> see</c><00:27:32.319><c> an</c><00:27:33.279><c> absolute</c><00:27:33.660><c> interconnection</c><00:27:34.539><c> between</c>

00:27:41.220 --> 00:27:44.519
She's<00:27:42.299><c> proclaiming</c><00:27:43.380><c> wisdom,</c>

00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:47.980
but<00:27:45.519><c> she's</c><00:27:45.920><c> speaking</c><00:27:46.480><c> truth.</c>

00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:53.460
And<00:27:51.440><c> wickedness</c><00:27:51.960><c> is</c><00:27:52.319><c> an</c><00:27:52.440><c> abomination.</c>

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:56.740
That<00:27:54.599><c> doesn't</c><00:27:54.880><c> even</c><00:27:55.140><c> come</c><00:27:55.339><c> out</c><00:27:55.539><c> of</c><00:27:55.619><c> her</c><00:27:55.779><c> lips.</c>

00:27:57.660 --> 00:28:02.059
And<00:27:57.819><c> all</c><00:27:58.000><c> the</c><00:27:58.140><c> words</c><00:27:58.359><c> of</c><00:27:58.619><c> my</c><00:27:58.859><c> mouth</c><00:27:59.559><c> are</c><00:28:00.359><c> in</c><00:28:00.900><c> righteousness.</c>

00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:04.880
So<00:28:03.920><c> you</c><00:28:04.059><c> see</c><00:28:04.259><c> the</c><00:28:04.480><c> connection.</c>

00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:07.359
There<00:28:05.240><c> is</c><00:28:06.359><c> truth.</c>

00:28:08.220 --> 00:28:10.519
There<00:28:08.500><c> is</c><00:28:08.940><c> the</c><00:28:09.200><c> avoidance</c><00:28:09.640><c> of</c><00:28:09.839><c> wickedness.</c>

00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:14.839
There<00:28:11.660><c> is</c><00:28:12.319><c> righteousness</c><00:28:12.940><c> in</c><00:28:13.220><c> what</c><00:28:13.400><c> is</c><00:28:13.720><c> spoken</c><00:28:14.099><c> by</c><00:28:14.480><c> truth,</c>

00:28:15.059 --> 00:28:16.660
by<00:28:15.240><c> wisdom,</c><00:28:15.640><c> we</c><00:28:15.720><c> should</c><00:28:15.859><c> say.</c>

00:28:17.339 --> 00:28:21.740
And<00:28:17.740><c> there</c><00:28:18.279><c> are</c><00:28:18.900><c> two</c><00:28:19.140><c> interesting</c><00:28:19.720><c> words</c><00:28:20.039><c> here</c><00:28:20.319><c> in</c><00:28:20.480><c> verse</c><00:28:20.660><c> 8.</c>

00:28:22.099 --> 00:28:23.480
The<00:28:22.240><c> word</c><00:28:22.519><c> foward,</c>

00:28:23.859 --> 00:28:26.119
which<00:28:24.500><c> is</c><00:28:24.720><c> a</c><00:28:24.859><c> different</c><00:28:25.079><c> word</c><00:28:25.299><c> to</c><00:28:25.480><c> the</c><00:28:25.579><c> word</c><00:28:25.759><c> foward</c>

00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:27.980
that<00:28:26.319><c> appears</c><00:28:26.660><c> a</c><00:28:26.900><c> few</c><00:28:27.000><c> verses</c><00:28:27.420><c> later</c><00:28:27.740><c> on,</c>

00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:29.740
so<00:28:28.160><c> we</c><00:28:28.279><c> might</c><00:28:28.500><c> forget</c><00:28:28.900><c> that.</c>

00:28:30.859 --> 00:28:33.319
But<00:28:31.140><c> the</c><00:28:31.240><c> word</c><00:28:31.440><c> foward</c><00:28:31.920><c> here,</c>

00:28:33.420 --> 00:28:37.579
the<00:28:33.740><c> margin</c><00:28:34.519><c> in</c><00:28:36.440><c> this</c><00:28:36.799><c> case,</c>

00:28:37.579 --> 00:28:39.619
says<00:28:38.299><c> wreathed,</c>

00:28:39.980 --> 00:28:42.220
as<00:28:40.220><c> you</c><00:28:41.079><c> make</c><00:28:41.640><c> a</c><00:28:41.880><c> wreath.</c>

00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:47.799
You<00:28:42.920><c> make</c><00:28:43.140><c> a</c><00:28:43.299><c> wreath</c><00:28:43.539><c> by</c><00:28:44.539><c> twining</c><00:28:45.059><c> the</c><00:28:46.420><c> fronds</c><00:28:46.759><c> together.</c>

00:28:48.259 --> 00:28:52.779
And<00:28:48.519><c> it</c><00:28:48.720><c> actually</c><00:28:49.019><c> means</c><00:28:50.279><c> twine.</c>

00:28:53.220 --> 00:28:54.839
That's<00:28:53.619><c> the</c><00:28:53.700><c> primary</c><00:28:53.940><c> meaning</c><00:28:54.220><c> of</c><00:28:54.480><c> the</c><00:28:54.539><c> word.</c>

00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:57.799
The<00:28:55.539><c> word</c><00:28:55.720><c> foward</c><00:28:56.039><c> in</c><00:28:56.180><c> this</c><00:28:56.420><c> case,</c><00:28:57.039><c> twine,</c>

00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:00.319

00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.900
And<00:29:00.799><c> it's</c><00:29:00.900><c> made</c><00:29:01.079><c> by</c><00:29:01.339><c> twisting</c><00:29:02.380><c> the</c><00:29:03.180><c> fibers</c><00:29:03.380><c> together.</c>

00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:04.599
It's<00:29:04.299><c> twisted.</c>

00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:08.259
You<00:29:04.880><c> can't</c><00:29:05.819><c> see</c><00:29:06.480><c> a</c><00:29:06.700><c> straight</c><00:29:06.839><c> line</c><00:29:07.119><c> there</c><00:29:07.319><c> anywhere.</c>

00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:13.579
In<00:29:09.500><c> fact,</c><00:29:10.740><c> the</c><00:29:10.960><c> original</c><00:29:11.880><c> item</c><00:29:12.400><c> itself,</c>

00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:15.259
which<00:29:13.819><c> is</c><00:29:14.059><c> the</c><00:29:14.140><c> bit</c><00:29:14.259><c> of</c><00:29:14.440><c> hemp,</c>

00:29:17.299 --> 00:29:18.920
becomes<00:29:17.859><c> indistinguishable.</c>

00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:21.380
You<00:29:19.380><c> can</c><00:29:19.519><c> no</c><00:29:19.640><c> longer</c><00:29:19.900><c> identify</c><00:29:20.420><c> it.</c>

00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:23.900
And<00:29:21.920><c> in</c><00:29:22.039><c> fact,</c><00:29:22.279><c> the</c><00:29:22.279><c> word</c><00:29:22.539><c> perverse,</c>

00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:27.680
the<00:29:24.480><c> primary</c><00:29:24.880><c> meaning</c><00:29:25.259><c> is</c><00:29:25.799><c> distorted.</c>

00:29:28.900 --> 00:29:32.079
And<00:29:29.180><c> by</c><00:29:29.339><c> implication,</c><00:29:30.240><c> as</c><00:29:30.259><c> Paul</c><00:29:30.400><c> says,</c><00:29:30.920><c> it</c><00:29:30.920><c> means</c><00:29:31.140><c> false.</c>

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:39.680
So<00:29:34.400><c> this</c><00:29:35.279><c> obviously</c><00:29:36.279><c> is</c><00:29:37.859><c> dramatically</c><00:29:38.660><c> emphasizing</c>

00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:42.839
that<00:29:40.700><c> wisdom</c><00:29:41.279><c> is</c><00:29:41.779><c> truth.</c>

00:29:43.779 --> 00:29:48.019
There<00:29:43.859><c> is</c><00:29:44.119><c> no</c><00:29:46.619><c> wickedness.</c>

00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:50.799
There<00:29:48.160><c> is</c><00:29:48.420><c> no</c><00:29:49.519><c> strong,</c>

00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:52.619
he<00:29:51.279><c> says</c><00:29:51.279><c> by</c><00:29:51.539><c> the</c><00:29:51.619><c> way</c><00:29:51.700><c> that</c><00:29:51.880><c> by</c><00:29:52.000><c> implication</c>

00:29:52.619 --> 00:29:54.920
this<00:29:52.880><c> word</c><00:29:53.119><c> twine,</c><00:29:54.119><c> as</c><00:29:54.279><c> in</c><00:29:54.500><c> the</c><00:29:54.680><c> rope,</c>

00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:57.420
means<00:29:55.539><c> tortuous.</c>

00:29:58.539 --> 00:29:59.859
God<00:29:58.940><c> made</c><00:29:59.279><c> man</c><00:29:59.500><c> upright</c>

00:29:59.859 --> 00:30:02.319
and<00:29:59.859><c> man</c><00:30:00.220><c> has</c><00:30:00.460><c> sought</c><00:30:00.559><c> out</c><00:30:00.740><c> many</c><00:30:01.000><c> devices.</c>

00:30:02.460 --> 00:30:04.299
He's<00:30:02.779><c> made</c><00:30:03.079><c> the</c><00:30:03.339><c> rope</c><00:30:03.579><c> tortuous.</c>

00:30:04.460 --> 00:30:07.859
He's<00:30:04.460><c> made,</c><00:30:05.380><c> as</c><00:30:06.240><c> is</c><00:30:06.539><c> the</c><00:30:06.619><c> case</c><00:30:06.880><c> with</c><00:30:07.339><c> the,</c>

00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:08.960
not<00:30:08.140><c> so</c><00:30:08.279><c> many</c><00:30:08.519><c> doctrines,</c>

00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:11.539
but<00:30:09.160><c> the</c><00:30:09.339><c> doctrine</c><00:30:09.539><c> of</c><00:30:09.740><c> the</c><00:30:09.940><c> attainment</c><00:30:10.299><c> in</c><00:30:10.619><c> particular,</c>

00:30:11.740 --> 00:30:15.500
it<00:30:12.000><c> is</c><00:30:13.180><c> basically</c><00:30:13.799><c> a</c><00:30:13.960><c> fairly</c><00:30:14.140><c> simple</c><00:30:14.519><c> doctrine.</c>

00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:19.380
But<00:30:16.079><c> it's</c><00:30:16.240><c> not</c><00:30:16.440><c> complicated</c><00:30:17.079><c> enough</c><00:30:17.720><c> for</c><00:30:18.400><c> the</c><00:30:18.579><c> Greeks.</c>

00:30:20.059 --> 00:30:23.779
It's<00:30:20.660><c> too</c><00:30:21.000><c> simple</c><00:30:21.299><c> for</c><00:30:23.299><c> the</c><00:30:23.440><c> Jews.</c>

00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:26.119
They<00:30:24.279><c> want</c><00:30:24.460><c> to</c><00:30:24.660><c> complicate</c><00:30:25.039><c> it</c><00:30:25.259><c> more.</c>

00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:31.880

00:33:28.859 --> 00:33:30.779
And<00:33:28.960><c> in</c><00:33:29.079><c> verse</c><00:33:29.220><c> 25</c><00:33:29.920><c> Paul</c><00:33:30.240><c> says,</c>

00:33:30.779 --> 00:33:33.700
because<00:33:31.720><c> the</c><00:33:32.500><c> foolishness</c><00:33:33.039><c> of</c><00:33:33.240><c> God,</c>

00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:44.339
So<00:33:41.660><c> that's</c><00:33:41.900><c> why</c><00:33:42.220><c> when</c><00:33:42.359><c> we</c><00:33:42.460><c> come</c><00:33:42.660><c> back</c><00:33:42.839><c> now</c><00:33:43.019><c> to</c><00:33:43.160><c> Proverbs</c><00:33:43.480><c> chapter</c><00:33:43.859><c> 8,</c>

00:34:31.219 --> 00:34:33.800

00:36:35.139 --> 00:36:39.679
it<00:36:35.980><c> will</c><00:36:36.219><c> be</c><00:36:36.519><c> a</c><00:36:36.579><c> result</c><00:36:37.260><c> of</c><00:36:38.579><c> the</c><00:36:38.820><c> salvation</c>

00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:43.960
of<00:36:40.960><c> many,</c><00:36:41.739><c> many,</c><00:36:42.599><c> many</c><00:36:43.260><c> people</c>

00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:47.840
who<00:36:45.300><c> have</c><00:36:45.539><c> chosen</c><00:36:45.940><c> wisdom</c><00:36:46.300><c> as</c><00:36:46.659><c> their</c><00:36:46.900><c> way.</c>

00:36:51.659 --> 00:36:55.619
So,<00:36:52.639><c> the</c><00:36:52.760><c> fear</c><00:36:53.000><c> of</c><00:36:53.199><c> Yahweh</c><00:36:53.760><c> is</c><00:36:54.119><c> to</c><00:36:54.320><c> hate</c><00:36:54.500><c> evil,</c>

00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:58.500
pride<00:36:56.280><c> and</c><00:36:56.679><c> arrogance</c><00:36:57.119><c> and</c><00:36:57.480><c> evil</c><00:36:58.039><c> way,</c>

00:36:58.940 --> 00:37:01.460
and<00:36:59.179><c> the</c><00:36:59.440><c> foward</c><00:36:59.780><c> math</c><00:37:00.119><c> do</c><00:37:00.440><c> I</c><00:37:00.679><c> hate.</c>

00:37:01.579 --> 00:37:03.320
Here's<00:37:01.980><c> that</c><00:37:02.159><c> word,</c><00:37:02.679><c> foward</c><00:37:03.019><c> again,</c>

00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:05.119
but<00:37:03.519><c> it's</c><00:37:03.780><c> a</c><00:37:03.920><c> different</c><00:37:04.139><c> word</c><00:37:04.380><c> in</c><00:37:04.599><c> the</c><00:37:04.820><c> Hebrew.</c>

00:37:05.619 --> 00:37:08.460
In<00:37:05.820><c> this</c><00:37:06.059><c> case,</c><00:37:06.340><c> it</c><00:37:06.340><c> just</c><00:37:06.639><c> means</c><00:37:06.840><c> perverse,</c>

00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:13.000
whereas<00:37:09.000><c> back</c><00:37:09.679><c> in</c><00:37:09.860><c> verse</c><00:37:10.079><c> 8,</c><00:37:11.179><c> it</c><00:37:11.239><c> means</c><00:37:11.780><c> twine.</c>

00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:16.599
So,<00:37:14.440><c> this</c><00:37:14.699><c> is</c><00:37:14.940><c> the</c><00:37:15.159><c> influence</c><00:37:15.480><c> of</c><00:37:15.679><c> wisdom.</c>

00:37:17.739 --> 00:37:21.119
The<00:37:18.039><c> fear</c><00:37:18.280><c> of</c><00:37:18.500><c> Yahweh</c><00:37:18.980><c> leads</c><00:37:19.460><c> to</c><00:37:19.659><c> wisdom,</c><00:37:21.119><c> right?</c>

00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:24.119
And<00:37:21.400><c> so,</c><00:37:21.679><c> in</c><00:37:21.800><c> this</c><00:37:22.019><c> case,</c><00:37:22.380><c> the</c><00:37:22.440><c> fear</c><00:37:22.619><c> of</c><00:37:22.820><c> Yahweh</c><00:37:23.079><c> is</c><00:37:23.280><c> given</c><00:37:23.500><c> by</c>

00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:28.219
that<00:37:24.360><c> figure</c><00:37:24.539><c> of</c><00:37:24.760><c> speech</c><00:37:24.980><c> in</c><00:37:25.119><c> the</c><00:37:25.320><c> twine</c><00:37:25.980><c> for</c><00:37:26.719><c> wisdom</c><00:37:27.159><c> itself.</c>

00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:31.460
So,<00:37:29.199><c> wisdom</c><00:37:29.679><c> is</c><00:37:30.460><c> to</c><00:37:30.699><c> hate</c><00:37:30.980><c> evil.</c>

00:37:31.460 --> 00:37:36.039
And<00:37:32.760><c> I</c><00:37:33.980><c> hate,</c><00:37:34.460><c> she</c><00:37:34.699><c> says,</c><00:37:34.960><c> pride,</c><00:37:35.599><c> arrogance,</c>

00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:39.519
and<00:37:36.619><c> the</c><00:37:36.800><c> evil</c><00:37:37.099><c> way,</c><00:37:37.900><c> and</c><00:37:38.039><c> the</c><00:37:38.199><c> perverse</c><00:37:38.559><c> math.</c>

00:37:40.539 --> 00:37:43.199
But<00:37:40.699><c> on</c><00:37:40.900><c> the</c><00:37:41.039><c> contrary,</c><00:37:41.800><c> verse</c><00:37:41.960><c> 14,</c>

00:37:43.820 --> 00:37:47.960
counsel<00:37:44.320><c> is</c><00:37:45.139><c> mine</c><00:37:45.559><c> and</c><00:37:46.619><c> sound</c><00:37:46.960><c> wisdom.</c>

00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:50.679
I<00:37:48.980><c> am</c><00:37:49.559><c> understanding.</c>

00:37:50.940 --> 00:37:53.500
I<00:37:51.579><c> have</c><00:37:52.179><c> strength.</c>

00:37:54.260 --> 00:37:57.099
Words<00:37:54.519><c> again,</c><00:37:55.039><c> I'm</c><00:37:55.139><c> afraid,</c><00:37:56.059><c> counsel.</c>

00:37:57.900 --> 00:38:00.320
The<00:37:58.099><c> word</c><00:37:58.179><c> counsel</c><00:37:58.699><c> means</c><00:37:59.260><c> advice.</c>

00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:05.139
And<00:38:01.760><c> strong</c><00:38:02.139><c> sense</c><00:38:02.500><c> by</c><00:38:02.739><c> implication,</c><00:38:04.159><c> a</c><00:38:04.380><c> plan.</c>

00:38:06.579 --> 00:38:10.780
So,<00:38:06.940><c> the</c><00:38:07.059><c> plan,</c><00:38:07.619><c> you</c><00:38:07.900><c> see,</c><00:38:08.800><c> is</c><00:38:09.000><c> mine,</c><00:38:09.539><c> wisdom</c><00:38:09.760><c> says.</c>

00:38:11.940 --> 00:38:13.760
And<00:38:12.199><c> I</c><00:38:12.440><c> have</c><00:38:12.679><c> strength.</c>

00:38:14.059 --> 00:38:16.760
The<00:38:14.139><c> word</c><00:38:14.360><c> strength</c><00:38:14.820><c> is</c><00:38:15.679><c> force.</c>

00:38:17.380 --> 00:38:18.780
Very<00:38:17.619><c> famous</c><00:38:17.920><c> in</c><00:38:18.300><c> Star</c><00:38:18.579><c> Wars,</c>

00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:21.320
look<00:38:19.119><c> at</c><00:38:19.360><c> the</c><00:38:19.559><c> force</c><00:38:19.800><c> beneath</c><00:38:20.159><c> him.</c>

00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:30.519
And,<00:38:26.719><c> um,</c><00:38:28.920><c> makes</c><00:38:29.119><c> me</c><00:38:29.320><c> feel,</c><00:38:29.760><c> is</c><00:38:29.940><c> that</c><00:38:30.079><c> like</c><00:38:30.320><c> that?</c>

00:38:30.659 --> 00:38:31.699
Yeah,<00:38:30.820><c> maybe.</c>

00:38:32.179 --> 00:38:34.119
Should<00:38:32.659><c> we</c><00:38:32.840><c> write</c><00:38:32.980><c> that</c><00:38:33.159><c> in</c><00:38:33.260><c> the</c><00:38:33.420><c> margin?</c>

00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:38.719
It's<00:38:35.659><c> quite</c><00:38:36.000><c> much</c><00:38:36.599><c> there,</c><00:38:38.000><c> the</c><00:38:38.119><c> good</c><00:38:38.119><c> is</c><00:38:38.139><c> the</c><00:38:38.139><c> force.</c>

00:38:39.739 --> 00:38:41.460
It's<00:38:39.780><c> pretty</c><00:38:40.019><c> teachable.</c>

00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:44.860
Darth<00:38:42.679><c> Vader</c><00:38:42.840><c> was</c><00:38:43.059><c> on</c><00:38:43.280><c> the</c><00:38:43.480><c> dark</c><00:38:43.739><c> side.</c>

00:38:45.619 --> 00:38:46.460
The<00:38:45.719><c> name</c><00:38:45.920><c> is</c><00:38:46.179><c> different.</c>

00:38:46.460 --> 00:38:48.800
Oh,<00:38:47.460><c> well,</c><00:38:47.960><c> interesting</c><00:38:48.239><c> thing</c><00:38:48.599><c> there.</c>

00:38:48.940 --> 00:38:52.019
So,<00:38:49.159><c> that's,</c><00:38:49.739><c> um,</c><00:38:50.639><c> in</c><00:38:50.639><c> verse</c><00:38:50.960><c> 14,</c>

00:38:52.059 --> 00:38:55.019
it<00:38:52.360><c> says,</c><00:38:52.800><c> the</c><00:38:52.800><c> fear</c><00:38:53.000><c> of</c><00:38:53.179><c> the</c><00:38:53.280><c> hour</c><00:38:53.380><c> I</c><00:38:53.519><c> used</c><00:38:53.699><c> to</c><00:38:53.940><c> hate</c><00:38:54.000><c> evil,</c>

00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:57.559
whilst<00:38:55.440><c> the</c><00:38:55.619><c> full</c><00:38:55.760><c> definition</c><00:38:56.260><c> of</c><00:38:56.519><c> all</c><00:38:56.659><c> evil</c><00:38:56.880><c> is</c><00:38:57.099><c> not</c><00:38:57.380><c> there,</c>

00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:00.360
it<00:38:57.940><c> doesn't,</c><00:38:58.840><c> sort</c><00:38:59.199><c> of,</c><00:38:59.460><c> start</c><00:38:59.519><c> off</c><00:38:59.719><c> with</c><00:38:59.900><c> a</c><00:39:00.039><c> girlfriend,</c>

00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:01.719
or<00:39:00.619><c> an</c><00:39:00.820><c> occasion,</c><00:39:01.179><c> those</c><00:39:01.440><c> things.</c>

00:39:01.860 --> 00:39:03.420
It's<00:39:02.139><c> pride</c><00:39:02.300><c> and</c><00:39:02.559><c> arrogance.</c>

00:39:03.900 --> 00:39:08.000
Because<00:39:04.400><c> they're</c><00:39:04.760><c> the</c><00:39:04.860><c> very</c><00:39:05.059><c> things</c><00:39:05.360><c> that</c><00:39:05.500><c> will</c><00:39:05.800><c> stop</c><00:39:06.139><c> the</c><00:39:06.460><c> gaining</c><00:39:06.739><c> of</c><00:39:07.500><c> wisdom.</c>

00:39:08.300 --> 00:39:09.800
Yes,<00:39:08.619><c> yes.</c>

00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:13.159
And<00:39:10.659><c> I</c><00:39:10.940><c> think</c><00:39:11.260><c> in</c><00:39:11.579><c> this</c><00:39:12.059><c> course</c><00:39:12.400><c> of</c><00:39:12.920><c> studies,</c>

00:39:13.380 --> 00:39:14.760
I've<00:39:13.599><c> got</c><00:39:13.739><c> to</c><00:39:13.940><c> do</c><00:39:14.099><c> with</c><00:39:14.380><c> pride.</c>

00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:16.780
That's<00:39:15.000><c> a</c><00:39:15.119><c> subject</c><00:39:15.380><c> on</c><00:39:15.679><c> its</c><00:39:15.920><c> own.</c>

00:39:17.380 --> 00:39:20.349
Because,<00:39:18.920><c> at</c><00:39:19.079><c> least</c><00:39:19.239><c> to</c><00:39:19.440><c> me,</c>

00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:24.900
pride<00:39:21.199><c> is</c><00:39:21.840><c> probably</c><00:39:22.280><c> the</c><00:39:22.519><c> biggest</c><00:39:22.780><c> problem</c><00:39:23.219><c> that</c><00:39:23.460><c> we</c><00:39:23.719><c> face.</c>

00:39:26.139 --> 00:39:34.539
I<00:39:26.300><c> think</c><00:39:26.739><c> it</c><00:39:27.599><c> is</c><00:39:28.179><c> the</c><00:39:29.199><c> cause</c><00:39:29.780><c> of</c><00:39:30.420><c> an</c><00:39:30.739><c> enormous</c><00:39:31.139><c> amount</c><00:39:31.579><c> of</c><00:39:31.980><c> problems</c><00:39:32.300><c> of</c><00:39:33.400><c> mortality.</c>

00:39:35.420 --> 00:39:39.320
It<00:39:35.780><c> was</c><00:39:36.019><c> certainly</c><00:39:36.940><c> one</c><00:39:37.420><c> of</c><00:39:37.679><c> Eve's</c><00:39:38.079><c> major</c><00:39:38.340><c> problems.</c>

00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:42.360
She<00:39:40.320><c> wanted</c><00:39:40.639><c> to</c><00:39:40.760><c> be</c><00:39:40.900><c> equal</c><00:39:41.280><c> to</c><00:39:41.500><c> the</c><00:39:41.679><c> other.</c>

00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:46.280
Anyway,<00:39:45.460><c> that's</c><00:39:45.860><c> an</c><00:39:45.980><c> aggression.</c>

00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:48.119

00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:11.619
And<00:40:05.460><c> what</c><00:40:05.699><c> is</c><00:40:06.059><c> done</c><00:40:06.260><c> with</c><00:40:06.519><c> it</c><00:40:07.079><c> is</c><00:40:07.800><c> to</c><00:40:08.619><c> achieve</c><00:40:09.199><c> the</c><00:40:09.480><c> victory.</c>

00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:31.179

00:40:42.860 --> 00:40:46.159
So,<00:40:43.219><c> the</c><00:40:43.440><c> wisdom</c><00:40:43.599><c> says,</c><00:40:44.260><c> by</c><00:40:44.260><c> me</c><00:40:44.639><c> kings</c><00:40:45.139><c> reign,</c>

00:40:56.960 --> 00:41:00.820
Now,<00:40:57.639><c> there's</c><00:40:57.900><c> Revelation</c><00:40:58.300><c> chapter</c><00:40:58.780><c> 3,</c><00:40:59.960><c> verse</c><00:41:00.280><c> 10,</c>

00:41:06.219 --> 00:41:07.820
They<00:41:06.219><c> taught</c><00:41:06.320><c> me</c><00:41:06.480><c> that.</c>

00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:11.219
And<00:41:08.500><c> we</c><00:41:08.619><c> shall</c><00:41:08.780><c> reign</c><00:41:09.039><c> as</c><00:41:09.300><c> kings</c><00:41:09.519><c> and</c><00:41:09.780><c> priests</c><00:41:10.019><c> to</c><00:41:10.159><c> the</c><00:41:10.199><c> earth.</c>

00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:18.139
And<00:41:15.059><c> I</c><00:41:15.460><c> love</c><00:41:15.679><c> them</c><00:41:16.400><c> that</c><00:41:16.800><c> love</c><00:41:16.980><c> me,</c>

00:41:22.179 --> 00:41:23.940
Some<00:41:22.980><c> of</c><00:41:23.099><c> you</c><00:41:23.219><c> may</c><00:41:23.300><c> have</c><00:41:23.440><c> been</c><00:41:23.599><c> invited,</c>

00:41:24.239 --> 00:41:27.139

00:41:27.940 --> 00:41:29.079
Dawn.

00:41:29.219 --> 00:41:31.000
Soon<00:41:29.340><c> as</c><00:41:29.500><c> I</c><00:41:29.659><c> do</c><00:41:29.920><c> rise,</c>

00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:32.840
we<00:41:31.599><c> go</c><00:41:31.679><c> after</c><00:41:32.039><c> wisdom.</c>

00:41:33.860 --> 00:41:38.780
And<00:41:34.059><c> those</c><00:41:34.420><c> who</c><00:41:35.079><c> are</c><00:41:35.559><c> so</c><00:41:36.000><c> keen</c><00:41:36.480><c> on</c><00:41:37.579><c> wisdom,</c>

00:41:39.139 --> 00:41:42.219
that<00:41:39.199><c> they</c><00:41:39.380><c> will</c><00:41:39.699><c> start</c><00:41:39.980><c> their</c><00:41:40.360><c> labors</c><00:41:40.860><c> at</c><00:41:41.260><c> dawn,</c>

00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:45.500
will<00:41:43.139><c> certainly</c><00:41:43.739><c> find</c><00:41:44.440><c> wisdom.</c>

00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:50.199
But<00:41:47.559><c> I</c><00:41:47.659><c> think</c><00:41:47.739><c> it's</c><00:41:47.900><c> a</c><00:41:48.000><c> very</c><00:41:48.320><c> interesting</c><00:41:48.940><c> thing</c>

00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:54.420
that<00:41:53.139><c> wisdom</c><00:41:53.880><c> says,</c>

00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:59.420

00:41:59.940 --> 00:42:03.539
Now,<00:42:00.400><c> wisdom</c><00:42:00.460><c> is</c><00:42:01.239><c> a</c><00:42:01.360><c> concept,</c><00:42:02.099><c> it's</c><00:42:02.360><c> abstract,</c>

00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:07.420
it's<00:42:05.260><c> being</c><00:42:05.500><c> presented</c><00:42:05.880><c> to</c><00:42:06.099><c> us</c><00:42:06.179><c> as</c><00:42:06.380><c> a</c><00:42:06.559><c> woman,</c>

00:42:07.940 --> 00:42:09.000
and<00:42:08.079><c> this</c><00:42:08.260><c> woman</c><00:42:08.480><c> is</c><00:42:08.800><c> saying,</c>

I<00:42:09.280><c> love</c><00:42:09.579><c> you</c><00:42:10.539><c> if</c><00:42:11.059><c> you</c><00:42:11.219><c> love</c><00:42:11.340><c> me.</c>

00:42:13.460 --> 00:42:18.119
And<00:42:13.780><c> what</c><00:42:13.880><c> that</c><00:42:14.179><c> usually</c><00:42:14.599><c> implies</c><00:42:15.320><c> is</c><00:42:16.659><c> a</c><00:42:17.019><c> mutuality,</c>

00:42:18.119 --> 00:42:22.559
a<00:42:19.280><c> closeness,</c><00:42:20.800><c> a</c><00:42:20.960><c> oneness.</c>

00:42:26.559 --> 00:42:31.960

00:42:33.639 --> 00:42:36.019
I'm<00:42:33.820><c> jumping</c><00:42:33.980><c> a</c><00:42:34.059><c> little</c><00:42:34.280><c> bit</c><00:42:34.420><c> ahead</c><00:42:34.619><c> of</c><00:42:34.719><c> myself</c><00:42:35.099><c> here,</c>

00:42:36.019 --> 00:42:41.480

00:42:41.480 --> 00:42:48.599
was<00:42:42.900><c> the</c><00:42:43.300><c> manifestation</c><00:42:44.219><c> of</c><00:42:47.539><c> wisdom.</c>

00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:51.880
That<00:42:50.199><c> He</c><00:42:50.500><c> was</c><00:42:50.860><c> wisdom,</c>

00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:54.699

00:42:55.280 --> 00:42:57.360
He<00:42:55.440><c> loves</c><00:42:55.699><c> those</c><00:42:56.019><c> who</c><00:42:56.179><c> love</c><00:42:56.360><c> wisdom.</c>

00:42:57.980 --> 00:43:01.039
And<00:42:58.179><c> so</c><00:42:58.519><c> they</c><00:42:58.719><c> will</c><00:42:59.199><c> be</c><00:42:59.860><c> brought</c><00:42:59.960><c> together</c>

00:43:01.420 --> 00:43:05.500

00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:17.760
Now,<00:43:16.739><c> lay</c><00:43:16.940><c> not</c><00:43:17.179><c> aside,</c>

They<00:53:09.719><c> have</c><00:53:09.820><c> such</c><00:53:09.840><c> terrible</c><00:53:10.360><c> consequences.</c>

00:53:13.179 --> 00:53:14.880
It<00:53:13.699><c> contrasts</c><00:53:14.219><c> with</c><00:53:14.340><c> the</c><00:53:14.619><c> other,</c>

00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:18.280
with<00:53:15.179><c> those</c><00:53:15.860><c> who</c><00:53:16.179><c> love</c><00:53:16.360><c> wisdom</c><00:53:16.719><c> and</c><00:53:16.940><c> then</c><00:53:17.199><c> give</c><00:53:17.420><c> it</c><00:53:18.139><c> to</c><00:53:18.139><c> them.</c>

00:53:18.559 --> 00:53:21.400
It's<00:53:18.860><c> not</c><00:53:18.860><c> only</c><00:53:20.679><c> life,</c><00:53:21.119><c> you</c><00:53:21.239><c> know,</c>

00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:22.960
that's<00:53:22.260><c> all</c><00:53:22.619><c> there</c><00:53:22.800><c> is,</c>

00:53:23.019 --> 00:53:26.260
but<00:53:23.199><c> even</c><00:53:24.199><c> now</c><00:53:24.480><c> it's</c><00:53:24.719><c> life</c><00:53:25.000><c> with</c><00:53:25.239><c> Christ,</c><00:53:25.800><c> isn't</c><00:53:25.920><c> it?</c>

00:53:26.619 --> 00:53:28.639
It<00:53:26.820><c> is,</c><00:53:28.139><c> yes.</c>

00:53:31.300 --> 00:53:34.099
One<00:53:31.539><c> thing</c><00:53:31.739><c> that</c><00:53:32.019><c> really</c><00:53:33.139><c> struck</c><00:53:33.360><c> me</c><00:53:33.539><c> as</c><00:53:33.659><c> I</c><00:53:33.800><c> went</c><00:53:33.860><c> through</c>

00:53:34.099 --> 00:53:34.920
this<00:53:34.519><c> chapter</c>

00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:41.400
is<00:53:35.460><c> how</c><00:53:37.579><c> that</c><00:53:38.179><c> verse</c><00:53:38.599><c> says</c><00:53:39.280><c> that</c><00:53:39.579><c> it's</c><00:53:40.360><c> wrong</c><00:53:40.360><c> from</c><00:53:41.079><c> the</c><00:53:41.219><c> beginning.</c>

00:53:41.400 --> 00:53:44.699
There's<00:53:42.099><c> no</c><00:53:42.280><c> uncertainty,</c><00:53:43.019><c> there's</c><00:53:43.260><c> no</c><00:53:43.480><c> doubt.</c>

00:53:45.960 --> 00:53:51.480
Once<00:53:46.280><c> you</c><00:53:46.519><c> have</c><00:53:46.760><c> found</c><00:53:47.480><c> the</c><00:53:48.539><c> truth</c><00:53:48.880><c> and</c><00:53:49.179><c> the</c><00:53:49.400><c> wisdom</c><00:53:49.780><c> of</c><00:53:51.019><c> truth,</c>

00:53:51.780 --> 00:53:53.900
then<00:53:52.400><c> it's</c><00:53:53.500><c> straightforward.</c>

00:53:54.219 --> 00:53:57.579
It<00:53:54.420><c> is</c><00:53:56.099><c> absolutely</c><00:53:56.539><c> certain.</c>

00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:03.739
There<00:53:59.400><c> are,</c><00:54:00.219><c> I</c><00:54:00.440><c> mean,</c><00:54:00.739><c> it's</c><00:54:01.119><c> the</c><00:54:01.300><c> age</c><00:54:01.880><c> of</c><00:54:02.760><c> uncertainty,</c>

00:54:04.159 --> 00:54:07.099
the<00:54:04.320><c> age</c><00:54:04.519><c> when</c><00:54:04.719><c> people</c><00:54:05.539><c> are</c><00:54:06.079><c> afraid</c><00:54:06.360><c> to</c><00:54:06.659><c> say</c>

00:54:07.099 --> 00:54:10.659
that<00:54:08.559><c> they</c><00:54:08.960><c> know</c><00:54:09.260><c> what</c><00:54:09.480><c> is</c><00:54:09.699><c> true.</c>

00:54:13.219 --> 00:54:16.880
And<00:54:13.900><c> God</c><00:54:14.099><c> told</c><00:54:14.400><c> us</c><00:54:14.659><c> to</c><00:54:15.500><c> know.</c>

00:54:22.699 --> 00:54:26.000
So,<00:54:23.380><c> it's</c><00:54:24.059><c> starting</c><00:54:24.320><c> something</c><00:54:24.659><c> in</c><00:54:24.920><c> here.</c>

00:54:26.480 --> 00:54:27.619
It's<00:54:26.719><c> very</c><00:54:26.739><c> simple.</c>

00:54:27.900 --> 00:54:30.199
Somehow<00:54:28.260><c> it</c><00:54:28.519><c> seems</c><00:54:28.860><c> that</c><00:54:29.199><c> he</c><00:54:29.500><c> does</c><00:54:29.860><c> say,</c>

00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:32.500
the<00:54:30.460><c> Lord</c><00:54:30.639><c> preserves</c><00:54:31.239><c> the</c><00:54:31.539><c> simple.</c>

00:54:33.139 --> 00:54:35.639
I<00:54:33.320><c> was</c><00:54:33.599><c> brought</c><00:54:33.760><c> by</c><00:54:34.000><c> him,</c><00:54:34.579><c> he</c><00:54:34.579><c> helped</c><00:54:34.579><c> me.</c>

00:54:36.800 --> 00:54:38.260
You've<00:54:37.239><c> got</c><00:54:37.320><c> his</c><00:54:37.599><c> promise.</c>

00:54:38.260 --> 00:54:41.760
Open<00:54:38.800><c> then,</c><00:54:39.199><c> can</c><00:54:39.260><c> we</c><00:54:40.300><c> look</c><00:54:40.539><c> up</c><00:54:40.719><c> the</c><00:54:40.860><c> syllable?</c>

00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:45.659
It's<00:54:42.559><c> going</c><00:54:42.559><c> to</c><00:54:42.699><c> be</c><00:54:42.699><c> the</c><00:54:42.820><c> same</c><00:54:42.960><c> number,</c><00:54:43.659><c> the</c><00:54:43.739><c> same</c><00:54:44.079><c> one</c><00:54:44.360><c> too.</c>

00:54:49.639 --> 00:54:52.639
That<00:54:49.800><c> word,</c><00:54:50.820><c> that</c><00:54:50.960><c> is,</c><00:54:52.139><c> what</c><00:54:52.340><c> does</c><00:54:52.420><c> it</c><00:54:52.500><c> say?</c>

00:54:52.820 --> 00:54:54.239
Is<00:54:52.940><c> that</c><00:54:53.219><c> K</c><00:54:53.480><c>-sil?</c>

00:54:56.440 --> 00:55:01.699
In<00:54:56.920><c> Hebrew,</c><00:54:57.619><c> K</c><00:54:57.940><c>-e</c><00:54:59.420><c>-sil</c><00:55:00.159><c>-wa</c><00:55:00.320><c>-i</c><00:55:00.559><c>-i</c><00:55:00.739><c>-i.</c>

00:55:08.300 --> 00:55:10.639
Yeah,<00:55:08.860><c> yeah,</c><00:55:10.079><c> yeah.</c>

00:55:11.179 --> 00:55:13.480
That's<00:55:11.519><c> the</c><00:55:11.739><c> definition</c><00:55:12.079><c> of</c><00:55:12.440><c> silly.</c>

00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:18.260
It's<00:55:15.320><c> just</c><00:55:15.460><c> that</c><00:55:15.639><c> it</c><00:55:15.840><c> happens</c><00:55:16.059><c> to</c><00:55:16.340><c> be</c><00:55:16.920><c> used</c><00:55:17.199><c> in</c><00:55:17.380><c> the</c><00:55:17.679><c> Karmic,</c>

00:55:18.360 --> 00:55:19.179
you<00:55:18.480><c> know.</c>

00:55:19.940 --> 00:55:23.420
And<00:55:20.500><c> all</c><00:55:21.059><c> the</c><00:55:21.320><c> other</c><00:55:21.500><c> parts</c><00:55:21.820><c> seem</c><00:55:22.159><c> to</c><00:55:22.420><c> be</c><00:55:22.539><c> important.</c>

00:55:24.179 --> 00:55:26.900
Yeah,<00:55:24.780><c> well,</c><00:55:25.380><c> that's</c><00:55:26.360><c> in</c><00:55:26.659><c> keeping.</c>

00:55:27.099 --> 00:55:28.980
There's<00:55:27.340><c> no</c><00:55:27.760><c> problem</c><00:55:28.199><c> there</c><00:55:28.400><c> to</c><00:55:28.599><c> my</c><00:55:28.800><c> mind,</c>

00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:32.920
because<00:55:29.320><c> that's</c><00:55:29.679><c> in</c><00:55:29.820><c> keeping</c><00:55:30.059><c> with</c><00:55:30.440><c> the</c><00:55:32.079><c> words</c><00:55:32.360><c> of</c><00:55:32.559><c> the</c><00:55:32.699><c> master,</c>

00:55:32.920 --> 00:55:38.440
that<00:55:33.400><c> the</c><00:55:35.500><c> rain</c><00:55:36.000><c> is</c><00:55:36.400><c> probably</c><00:55:36.780><c> juster</c><00:55:37.340><c> than</c><00:55:37.519><c> unjust.</c>

00:55:39.539 --> 00:55:44.179
God<00:55:40.019><c> does</c><00:55:40.500><c> care</c><00:55:40.940><c> for</c><00:55:41.179><c> His</c><00:55:41.579><c> creation,</c><00:55:43.039><c> whoever</c><00:55:43.159><c> they</c><00:55:43.460><c> are.</c>

00:55:44.760 --> 00:55:46.460
When<00:55:44.940><c> I</c><00:55:45.119><c> asked</c><00:55:45.360><c> about</c><00:55:45.579><c> the</c><00:55:45.699><c> one</c><00:55:45.800><c> I</c><00:55:45.880><c> was</c><00:55:46.079><c> thinking</c><00:55:46.300><c> of,</c>

00:55:46.579 --> 00:55:49.380
it<00:55:46.599><c> was</c><00:55:46.599><c> over</c><00:55:46.880><c> the</c><00:55:47.079><c> page</c><00:55:47.440><c> in</c><00:55:48.179><c> chapter</c><00:55:48.460><c> 9.</c>

00:55:50.079 --> 00:55:52.880
What's<00:55:50.559><c> the</c><00:55:50.559><c> name</c><00:55:50.980><c> in?</c><00:55:51.380><c> What's</c><00:55:51.480><c> chapter</c><00:55:51.719><c> 9,</c><00:55:52.239><c> verse</c><00:55:52.500><c> 4?</c>

00:55:52.920 --> 00:55:54.880
Who<00:55:53.179><c> says</c><00:55:53.400><c> simple,</c><00:55:53.920><c> let</c><00:55:54.179><c> him</c><00:55:54.400><c> turn</c><00:55:54.599><c> into</c><00:55:54.739><c> evil?</c>

00:55:55.079 --> 00:55:55.920
Is<00:55:55.079><c> that</c><00:55:55.239><c> the</c><00:55:55.380><c> same?</c>

00:55:59.039 --> 00:56:01.840
Because<00:55:59.519><c> both</c><00:56:00.000><c> of</c><00:56:00.199><c> these</c><00:56:00.519><c> ones,</c><00:56:00.820><c> it's</c><00:56:01.039><c> down</c><00:56:01.300><c> there</c><00:56:01.500><c> again</c><00:56:01.699><c> in</c>

00:56:01.840 --> 00:56:02.360
verse<00:56:02.059><c> 13,</c>

00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:05.099
the<00:56:02.539><c> two</c><00:56:02.780><c> women</c><00:56:03.119><c> come</c><00:56:03.360><c> in</c><00:56:03.480><c> chapter</c><00:56:03.800><c> 9,</c><00:56:04.139><c> don't</c><00:56:04.360><c> they?</c>

00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:08.440
And<00:56:05.800><c> they</c><00:56:05.900><c> make</c><00:56:05.960><c> their</c><00:56:06.219><c> appeal</c><00:56:06.559><c> to</c><00:56:06.780><c> these</c><00:56:07.039><c> simple</c><00:56:07.380><c> ones.</c>

00:56:11.739 --> 00:56:15.340
So<00:56:11.920><c> obviously</c><00:56:12.280><c> those</c><00:56:12.840><c> that</c><00:56:13.039><c> are</c><00:56:13.099><c> simple</c><00:56:13.440><c> and</c><00:56:13.760><c> silly</c><00:56:13.960><c> have</c><00:56:14.280><c> to</c>

00:56:15.340 --> 00:56:16.380
give<00:56:15.639><c> heed,</c><00:56:16.139><c> don't</c><00:56:16.139><c> they?</c>

00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:20.699
Which<00:56:16.780><c> is</c><00:56:17.059><c> all</c><00:56:17.239><c> of</c><00:56:17.400><c> us,</c><00:56:18.460><c> without</c><00:56:19.239><c> wisdom.</c>

00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:25.039
Until<00:56:23.480><c> we</c><00:56:24.079><c> learn</c><00:56:24.280><c> something.</c>

00:56:25.900 --> 00:56:29.360
In<00:56:26.500><c> verse</c><00:56:26.800><c> 13</c><00:56:27.159><c> of</c><00:56:27.400><c> that,</c><00:56:28.059><c> Hebrews</c><00:56:28.059><c> 9</c><00:56:28.360><c> actually</c><00:56:28.739><c> says</c><00:56:28.900><c> that</c><00:56:29.199><c> the</c>

00:56:29.360 --> 00:56:30.900
foolish<00:56:29.599><c> woman</c><00:56:29.880><c> is</c><00:56:30.460><c> glamorous,</c>

00:56:30.900 --> 00:56:35.300
and<00:56:31.199><c> she</c><00:56:31.420><c> is</c><00:56:31.699><c> simple,</c><00:56:32.199><c> so</c><00:56:32.219><c> she's</c><00:56:32.539><c> both</c><00:56:32.820><c> foolish</c><00:56:33.340><c> and</c><00:56:33.860><c> simple.</c>

00:56:35.420 --> 00:56:38.780

01:00:27.019 --> 01:00:30.760
He<01:00:27.260><c> was</c><01:00:27.420><c> soft</c><01:00:27.900><c> and</c><01:00:29.420><c> knew</c><01:00:29.599><c> it</c><01:00:29.800><c> all.</c>

01:00:35.880 --> 01:00:38.559
That's<01:00:36.199><c> a</c><01:00:36.239><c> beautiful</c><01:00:36.599><c> chapter,</c><01:00:37.079><c> that</c><01:00:37.280><c> chapter,</c><01:00:37.840><c> isn't</c><01:00:37.840><c> it?</c>

01:00:38.579 --> 01:00:39.260
That<01:00:38.980><c> chapter.</c>

01:00:39.460 --> 01:00:40.599
Oh,<01:00:39.599><c> isn't</c><01:00:39.860><c> it?</c>

01:00:42.420 --> 01:00:46.599
I<01:00:43.059><c> look</c><01:00:43.699><c> at</c><01:00:43.880><c> a</c><01:00:44.039><c> chapter</c><01:00:44.260><c> like</c><01:00:44.579><c> that</c><01:00:44.860><c> and</c><01:00:45.000><c> I</c><01:00:45.199><c> think,</c>

01:00:47.659 --> 01:00:52.920
what<01:00:47.800><c> next</c><01:00:48.199><c> step</c><01:00:48.440><c> God</c><01:00:48.760><c> has</c><01:00:49.000><c> gone</c><01:00:49.320><c> to,</c><01:00:51.019><c> to</c><01:00:51.340><c> give</c><01:00:51.519><c> us</c><01:00:51.719><c> promises,</c>

01:00:53.340 --> 01:00:58.179
apart<01:00:53.679><c> from</c><01:00:55.380><c> those</c><01:00:56.179><c> obvious</c><01:00:56.940><c> passages,</c>

01:01:00.679 --> 01:01:04.239
where<01:01:00.780><c> we</c><01:01:01.019><c> hold</c><01:01:01.260><c> out,</c><01:01:01.619><c> you</c><01:01:01.619><c> know,</c><01:01:02.139><c> things</c><01:01:02.139><c> like</c><01:01:02.239><c> that,</c><01:01:03.260><c> you</c><01:01:03.320><c> know,</c>

01:01:08.260 --> 01:01:13.099
if<01:01:08.739><c> you</c><01:01:09.079><c> respond,</c><01:01:09.760><c> if</c><01:01:09.940><c> you</c><01:01:10.239><c> only</c><01:01:10.420><c> respond,</c><01:01:12.260><c> this</c><01:01:12.460><c> is</c><01:01:12.739><c> in</c><01:01:12.940><c> store</c>

01:01:13.099 --> 01:01:14.139
for<01:01:13.360><c> you.</c>

01:01:15.059 --> 01:01:17.400
I<01:01:15.199><c> was</c><01:01:15.400><c> thinking</c><01:01:15.639><c> even</c><01:01:15.900><c> of</c><01:01:16.019><c> it</c><01:01:16.139><c> from</c><01:01:16.340><c> the</c><01:01:16.539><c> natural</c><01:01:16.880><c> point</c><01:01:17.139><c> of</c><01:01:17.300><c> view,</c>

01:01:17.460 --> 01:01:21.119
all<01:01:17.659><c> these</c><01:01:17.820><c> things</c><01:01:18.139><c> to</c><01:01:18.340><c> do</c><01:01:18.460><c> with</c><01:01:18.679><c> nature,</c><01:01:20.440><c> you</c><01:01:20.460><c> know,</c>

01:01:21.280 --> 01:01:24.079
where<01:01:21.619><c> the</c><01:01:21.820><c> wisdom</c><01:01:22.059><c> of</c><01:01:22.239><c> God</c><01:01:22.420><c> is</c><01:01:22.940><c> seen</c><01:01:23.079><c> in</c><01:01:23.300><c> all</c><01:01:23.480><c> the</c><01:01:23.719><c> creations,</c>

01:01:24.400 --> 01:01:24.639
isn't<01:01:24.400><c> it?</c>

01:01:24.699 --> 01:01:28.960
Life,<01:01:25.059><c> small,</c><01:01:25.960><c> even</c><01:01:26.320><c> life</c><01:01:27.199><c> which</c><01:01:27.460><c> we</c><01:01:27.699><c> can't</c><01:01:27.920><c> see</c><01:01:28.139><c> with</c><01:01:28.420><c> our</c><01:01:28.659><c> eyes,</c>

01:01:29.199 --> 01:01:31.739
microscopic<01:01:29.800><c> life</c><01:01:30.159><c> in</c><01:01:30.420><c> droplets</c><01:01:30.760><c> of</c><01:01:31.039><c> water,</c>

01:01:32.039 --> 01:01:34.000
is<01:01:32.159><c> all</c><01:01:32.360><c> a</c><01:01:32.599><c> declaration</c><01:01:33.039><c> of</c><01:01:33.239><c> the</c><01:01:33.400><c> wisdom</c><01:01:33.599><c> of</c><01:01:33.860><c> God.</c>

01:01:34.000 --> 01:01:37.119
The<01:01:34.219><c> water</c><01:01:34.380><c> wouldn't</c><01:01:35.179><c> be</c><01:01:35.519><c> any</c><01:01:36.139><c> benefit</c><01:01:36.400><c> without</c><01:01:36.760><c> that.</c>

01:01:37.420 --> 01:01:38.179
Yes,<01:01:37.800><c> that's</c><01:01:38.139><c> right.</c>

01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:41.579
And<01:01:38.400><c> yet,</c><01:01:39.159><c> a</c><01:01:39.159><c> man</c><01:01:39.400><c> with</c><01:01:39.579><c> his</c><01:01:39.840><c> folly</c><01:01:40.199><c> turns</c><01:01:40.519><c> to</c><01:01:40.780><c> evolution</c><01:01:41.239><c> to</c>

01:01:41.579 --> 01:01:43.099
try<01:01:41.699><c> to</c><01:01:41.920><c> explain</c><01:01:42.340><c> that.</c>

01:01:43.539 --> 01:01:46.539
Again,<01:01:44.059><c> it's</c><01:01:44.360><c> a</c><01:01:44.480><c> blessing</c><01:01:44.760><c> of</c><01:01:45.000><c> wisdom</c><01:01:45.280><c> that</c><01:01:45.519><c> God</c><01:01:45.739><c> gives</c><01:01:46.039><c> to</c><01:01:46.260><c> those</c>

01:01:46.539 --> 01:01:48.400
who<01:01:46.980><c> just</c><01:01:47.320><c> want</c><01:01:47.539><c> to</c><01:01:47.719><c> see</c><01:01:47.900><c> that</c><01:01:48.039><c> he's</c><01:01:48.340><c> there.</c>

01:01:48.900 --> 01:01:51.000
And<01:01:49.159><c> it's</c><01:01:49.340><c> not</c><01:01:49.480><c> just</c><01:01:49.719><c> the</c><01:01:49.860><c> Christadelphians</c><01:01:50.480><c> who</c><01:01:50.719><c> see</c><01:01:50.840><c> that.</c>

01:01:51.000 --> 01:01:54.539
There's<01:01:51.199><c> plenty</c><01:01:51.480><c> of</c><01:01:51.619><c> people</c><01:01:51.880><c> in</c><01:01:52.039><c> the</c><01:01:52.239><c> world</c><01:01:52.480><c> that</c><01:01:52.820><c> can</c><01:01:53.460><c> see</c><01:01:53.780><c> that,</c>

01:01:55.599 --> 01:01:59.619
even<01:01:55.599><c> learned</c><01:01:55.860><c> doctors</c><01:01:56.380><c> and</c><01:01:56.639><c> things</c><01:01:56.840><c> sometimes</c><01:01:57.380><c> see</c><01:01:57.760><c> the</c><01:01:58.880><c> history</c><01:01:59.420><c> of</c>

01:01:59.619 --> 01:02:00.320
the<01:01:59.760><c> human</c><01:02:00.019><c> body</c>

01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:01.920
