Brother<00:00:39.479><c> Lloyd.</c>

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.640
Good<00:00:49.520><c> morning,</c><00:00:49.939><c> my</c><00:00:50.060><c> beloved</c><00:00:50.399><c> brothers</c><00:00:50.719><c> and</c><00:00:50.880><c> sisters.</c>

00:00:53.619 --> 00:00:55.920
Oh,<00:00:54.020><c> that's</c><00:00:54.320><c> so</c><00:00:54.740><c> weak.</c>

00:00:59.539 --> 00:01:00.679
We'll<00:00:59.740><c> do</c><00:00:59.840><c> it</c><00:01:00.039><c> once</c><00:01:00.380><c> more.</c>

00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:02.520
Good<00:01:01.020><c> morning.</c>

00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:05.239
Thank<00:01:04.299><c> you.</c>

00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:06.799

00:01:06.819 --> 00:01:09.280
It<00:01:06.939><c> is</c><00:01:07.120><c> the</c><00:01:07.239><c> morning</c><00:01:07.439><c> which</c><00:01:07.640><c> the</c><00:01:07.799><c> Lord</c><00:01:07.980><c> hath</c><00:01:08.219><c> made.</c>

00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:14.140
We've<00:01:09.840><c> come</c><00:01:10.040><c> here</c><00:01:10.319><c> to</c><00:01:10.680><c> make</c><00:01:11.260><c> new</c><00:01:11.620><c> friends</c><00:01:11.939><c> and</c><00:01:12.180><c> renew</c><00:01:12.599><c> old</c><00:01:13.019><c> friendships.</c>

00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.920
Sometimes<00:01:15.120><c> when</c><00:01:15.480><c> we</c><00:01:15.819><c> meet</c><00:01:16.040><c> a</c><00:01:16.680><c> person</c><00:01:16.959><c> for</c><00:01:17.260><c> the</c><00:01:17.379><c> first</c><00:01:17.719><c> time,</c>

00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:25.299
we're<00:01:19.819><c> not</c><00:01:20.239><c> naturally</c><00:01:20.879><c> drawn</c><00:01:21.319><c> to</c><00:01:21.519><c> them</c><00:01:22.439><c> by</c><00:01:23.400><c> our</c><00:01:23.799><c> first</c><00:01:24.159><c> impression.</c>

00:01:25.700 --> 00:01:32.620
It's<00:01:26.219><c> very</c><00:01:26.500><c> nice</c><00:01:26.700><c> to</c><00:01:26.939><c> make</c><00:01:27.180><c> a</c><00:01:27.459><c> good</c><00:01:27.680><c> first</c><00:01:28.000><c> impression</c><00:01:28.739><c> because</c><00:01:29.420><c> it's</c><00:01:29.700><c> one</c><00:01:29.879><c> of</c><00:01:30.000><c> the</c><00:01:30.219><c> things</c><00:01:30.420><c> that</c><00:01:30.640><c> you</c><00:01:30.920><c> never,</c><00:01:31.700><c> ever</c><00:01:32.040><c> get</c><00:01:32.340><c> a</c>

00:01:32.620 --> 00:01:34.420
second<00:01:32.900><c> chance</c><00:01:33.299><c> to</c><00:01:33.579><c> do.</c>

00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:37.379
And<00:01:34.879><c> that's</c><00:01:35.079><c> make</c><00:01:35.200><c> a</c><00:01:35.420><c> good</c><00:01:35.900><c> first</c><00:01:36.239><c> impression.</c>

00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.099
But<00:01:38.939><c> many</c><00:01:39.280><c> people</c><00:01:40.420><c> grow</c><00:01:40.840><c> on</c><00:01:41.060><c> us.</c>

00:01:42.819 --> 00:01:48.060
We<00:01:43.299><c> just</c><00:01:43.760><c> wonder</c><00:01:44.120><c> what</c><00:01:44.579><c> our</c><00:01:45.099><c> first</c><00:01:45.439><c> impression</c><00:01:46.560><c> might</c><00:01:47.760><c> have</c>

00:01:48.060 --> 00:01:53.060
been<00:01:48.620><c> of</c><00:01:50.260><c> the</c><00:01:50.480><c> Lord</c><00:01:51.480><c> Jesus</c><00:01:52.579><c> Christ.</c>

00:01:53.099 --> 00:01:58.219
If<00:01:53.219><c> we'd</c><00:01:53.459><c> just</c><00:01:53.640><c> been</c><00:01:54.019><c> one</c><00:01:54.480><c> of</c><00:01:54.620><c> the</c><00:01:54.799><c> people</c><00:01:55.959><c> in</c><00:01:56.439><c> the</c><00:01:56.680><c> throng,</c><00:01:57.599><c> what</c><00:01:57.859><c> would</c><00:01:58.060><c> we</c>

00:01:58.219 --> 00:02:02.219
have<00:01:58.540><c> thought</c><00:01:59.120><c> when</c><00:02:00.159><c> we</c><00:02:00.540><c> first</c><00:02:01.000><c> met</c><00:02:01.280><c> him?</c>

00:02:02.659 --> 00:02:07.599
He<00:02:03.299><c> hath</c><00:02:03.540><c> no</c><00:02:04.000><c> form</c><00:02:04.680><c> nor</c><00:02:06.439><c> comeliness.</c>

00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:14.639
And<00:02:08.479><c> when</c><00:02:08.659><c> we</c><00:02:08.939><c> see</c><00:02:09.199><c> him,</c><00:02:10.419><c> there</c><00:02:10.680><c> is</c><00:02:10.939><c> no</c><00:02:11.319><c> beauty</c><00:02:11.939><c> that</c><00:02:12.360><c> we</c><00:02:12.659><c> should</c><00:02:12.979><c> desire</c><00:02:13.539><c> him.</c>

00:02:15.539 --> 00:02:21.000
He<00:02:15.879><c> is</c><00:02:16.180><c> despised</c><00:02:17.240><c> and</c><00:02:17.479><c> rejected</c><00:02:18.000><c> of</c><00:02:18.259><c> men,</c><00:02:19.879><c> a</c><00:02:20.060><c> man</c><00:02:20.180><c> of</c><00:02:20.500><c> sorrows</c>

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.000
and<00:02:21.319><c> acquainted</c><00:02:21.560><c> with</c><00:02:21.879><c> grief.</c>

00:02:23.139 --> 00:02:25.939
And<00:02:23.500><c> we</c><00:02:23.719><c> hid,</c><00:02:23.840><c> as</c><00:02:24.020><c> it</c><00:02:24.159><c> were,</c><00:02:24.280><c> our</c><00:02:24.580><c> faces</c><00:02:24.979><c> from</c><00:02:25.259><c> him.</c>

00:02:25.939 --> 00:02:32.099
He<00:02:26.460><c> was</c><00:02:26.759><c> despised</c><00:02:27.800><c> and</c><00:02:28.080><c> we</c><00:02:29.360><c> esteemed</c><00:02:30.020><c> him</c><00:02:30.759><c> not.</c>

00:02:33.860 --> 00:02:36.460
Paul<00:02:34.199><c> might</c><00:02:34.460><c> not</c><00:02:34.699><c> have</c><00:02:34.840><c> made</c><00:02:35.000><c> a</c><00:02:35.080><c> very</c><00:02:35.419><c> good</c><00:02:35.620><c> first</c><00:02:35.939><c> impression</c>

00:02:36.460 --> 00:02:42.280
on<00:02:36.719><c> us,</c><00:02:37.520><c> for</c><00:02:37.520><c> we're</c><00:02:38.000><c> told</c><00:02:38.460><c> that</c><00:02:39.419><c> it</c><00:02:39.439><c> was</c><00:02:39.699><c> said</c><00:02:39.860><c> of</c><00:02:39.939><c> him</c><00:02:40.139><c> his</c><00:02:40.500><c> bodily</c><00:02:41.020><c> presence</c><00:02:41.699><c> is</c>

00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.500
weak<00:02:42.939><c> and</c><00:02:44.180><c> his</c><00:02:44.560><c> speech</c><00:02:44.919><c> contemptible.</c>

00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:51.439
How<00:02:48.120><c> thankful</c><00:02:48.539><c> we</c><00:02:48.819><c> are,</c><00:02:48.979><c> aren't</c><00:02:49.240><c> we,</c><00:02:49.419><c> that</c><00:02:50.520><c> God</c><00:02:50.860><c> looks</c><00:02:51.139><c> upon</c>

00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:52.680
our<00:02:51.780><c> hearts.</c>

00:02:53.060 --> 00:02:55.199
It<00:02:53.419><c> really</c><00:02:53.639><c> doesn't</c><00:02:53.860><c> matter</c><00:02:54.099><c> what</c><00:02:54.280><c> we</c><00:02:54.539><c> look</c><00:02:54.759><c> like.</c>

00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.319
Remember,<00:02:56.280><c> when</c><00:02:56.659><c> Samuel</c><00:02:57.099><c> went</c><00:02:57.340><c> to</c><00:02:57.539><c> pick</c><00:02:57.759><c> the</c><00:02:57.879><c> new</c><00:02:58.159><c> king</c><00:02:58.379><c> of</c><00:02:58.560><c> Israel,</c><00:02:58.979><c> oh,</c><00:02:59.259><c> he</c>

00:02:59.319 --> 00:02:59.960
saw<00:02:59.520><c> a</c><00:02:59.740><c> lion.</c>

00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:02.879
Oh,<00:03:01.020><c> that</c><00:03:01.520><c> must</c><00:03:01.780><c> be</c><00:03:02.020><c> him.</c>

00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.159
God<00:03:04.439><c> says,</c><00:03:04.939><c> no.</c>

00:03:07.219 --> 00:03:10.000
I<00:03:07.560><c> look</c><00:03:07.960><c> on</c><00:03:08.379><c> the</c><00:03:08.639><c> heart.</c>

00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:15.199
Although<00:03:11.900><c> you</c><00:03:12.219><c> can't</c><00:03:12.580><c> do</c><00:03:12.780><c> anything</c><00:03:13.080><c> about</c><00:03:13.599><c> your</c><00:03:14.080><c> outward</c><00:03:14.439><c> appearance,</c><00:03:15.159><c> oh,</c>

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.240
you<00:03:15.400><c> ladies,</c><00:03:15.639><c> I</c><00:03:15.780><c> know</c><00:03:15.939><c> you</c><00:03:16.280><c> try,</c>

00:03:19.180 --> 00:03:22.919
but<00:03:19.740><c> the</c><00:03:20.300><c> heart</c><00:03:20.580><c> is</c><00:03:20.740><c> something</c><00:03:20.960><c> you</c><00:03:21.060><c> can</c><00:03:21.259><c> do</c><00:03:21.419><c> something</c><00:03:21.699><c> about.</c>

00:03:23.699 --> 00:03:26.680
And<00:03:24.340><c> that's</c><00:03:24.620><c> what</c><00:03:24.819><c> God</c><00:03:25.080><c> cares</c><00:03:25.520><c> about.</c>

00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:28.780
Now,<00:03:26.860><c> our</c><00:03:27.020><c> subject</c><00:03:27.259><c> is</c><00:03:27.500><c> Nehemiah.</c>

00:03:29.259 --> 00:03:32.419
And<00:03:29.599><c> we</c><00:03:29.919><c> want</c><00:03:30.159><c> to</c><00:03:30.460><c> help</c><00:03:30.620><c> you</c><00:03:30.939><c> get</c><00:03:31.180><c> to</c><00:03:31.419><c> know</c><00:03:31.580><c> one</c><00:03:31.840><c> of</c><00:03:31.979><c> our</c>

00:03:32.419 --> 00:03:34.039
dearest<00:03:32.840><c> friends.</c>

00:03:35.659 --> 00:03:40.979
And<00:03:36.300><c> we</c><00:03:36.939><c> realize</c><00:03:37.539><c> that</c><00:03:37.719><c> you</c><00:03:37.879><c> may</c><00:03:38.080><c> already</c><00:03:38.419><c> know</c><00:03:38.800><c> more</c><00:03:39.240><c> about</c><00:03:39.560><c> him</c><00:03:40.240><c> than</c><00:03:40.639><c> I</c>

00:03:40.979 --> 00:03:41.800
ever<00:03:41.460><c> have.</c>

00:03:41.900 --> 00:03:45.340
But<00:03:42.300><c> I</c><00:03:42.719><c> have</c><00:03:42.919><c> a</c><00:03:43.139><c> confession</c><00:03:43.500><c> to</c><00:03:43.780><c> make.</c>

00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:47.159
And<00:03:46.099><c> this</c><00:03:46.280><c> is</c><00:03:46.539><c> it.</c>

00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:53.199
When<00:03:47.560><c> I</c><00:03:47.740><c> first</c><00:03:48.139><c> met</c><00:03:48.400><c> Nehemiah,</c><00:03:50.419><c> I</c><00:03:50.680><c> didn't</c><00:03:50.900><c> like</c><00:03:51.139><c> him</c><00:03:51.419><c> very</c><00:03:51.840><c> much.</c>

00:03:53.870 --> 00:03:57.900
But<00:03:54.219><c> it</c><00:03:54.340><c> was</c><00:03:54.479><c> because</c><00:03:54.979><c> I</c><00:03:55.159><c> didn't</c><00:03:55.520><c> really</c><00:03:56.180><c> know</c><00:03:56.500><c> him.</c>

00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:04.340
And<00:03:58.479><c> now</c><00:03:58.840><c> I'm</c><00:04:00.139><c> very,</c><00:04:00.659><c> very</c><00:04:00.900><c> fond</c><00:04:01.219><c> of</c><00:04:01.419><c> him,</c><00:04:02.419><c> because</c><00:04:02.819><c> now</c><00:04:03.159><c> I</c><00:04:03.340><c> have</c><00:04:03.860><c> gotten</c><00:04:04.080><c> to</c>

00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:06.199
know<00:04:04.479><c> him</c><00:04:05.360><c> so</c><00:04:05.620><c> much</c><00:04:05.860><c> better.</c>

00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:09.639
And<00:04:07.120><c> so</c><00:04:07.280><c> we</c><00:04:07.439><c> hope</c><00:04:07.659><c> that</c><00:04:07.900><c> this</c><00:04:08.080><c> week</c><00:04:08.340><c> our</c><00:04:08.599><c> studies</c><00:04:08.939><c> of</c><00:04:09.159><c> Nehemiah</c>

00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.080
will<00:04:10.680><c> help</c><00:04:10.860><c> us</c><00:04:11.159><c> all</c><00:04:11.500><c> to</c><00:04:12.020><c> love</c><00:04:12.280><c> him</c><00:04:12.539><c> more</c>

00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:18.420
and<00:04:14.000><c> be</c><00:04:14.539><c> more</c><00:04:14.960><c> comfortable</c><00:04:15.719><c> with</c><00:04:16.420><c> him,</c><00:04:17.620><c> because</c><00:04:17.860><c> we're</c><00:04:18.079><c> more</c>

00:04:18.420 --> 00:04:21.100
intimately<00:04:18.819><c> acquainted</c><00:04:19.500><c> with</c><00:04:20.920><c> what</c>

00:04:21.100 --> 00:04:24.420
he<00:04:21.300><c> stood</c><00:04:21.540><c> for</c><00:04:22.000><c> and</c><00:04:22.899><c> what</c><00:04:23.240><c> he</c><00:04:23.439><c> did.</c>

00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.019
Now,<00:04:25.199><c> what</c><00:04:25.360><c> do</c><00:04:25.439><c> we</c><00:04:25.540><c> know</c><00:04:25.740><c> about</c><00:04:25.939><c> Nehemiah?</c>

00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.240
Well,<00:04:28.120><c> we</c><00:04:28.319><c> don't</c><00:04:28.639><c> know</c><00:04:29.019><c> very</c><00:04:29.279><c> much</c><00:04:29.439><c> about</c><00:04:29.600><c> his</c><00:04:29.779><c> background,</c>

00:04:30.259 --> 00:04:30.879
do<00:04:30.459><c> we?</c>

00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:35.660
I<00:04:31.480><c> mean,</c><00:04:31.660><c> if</c><00:04:31.839><c> this</c><00:04:32.120><c> was</c><00:04:32.379><c> a</c><00:04:32.579><c> worldly</c><00:04:33.019><c> book</c><00:04:34.800><c> about</c><00:04:35.220><c> a</c><00:04:35.439><c> worldly</c>

00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:37.759
man,<00:04:36.259><c> you</c><00:04:36.540><c> would</c><00:04:36.699><c> know</c><00:04:36.800><c> all</c><00:04:37.180><c> about</c><00:04:37.439><c> what</c>

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.839
he<00:04:37.839><c> ate</c><00:04:38.000><c> for</c><00:04:38.279><c> breakfast</c><00:04:38.839><c> and</c><00:04:39.939><c> what</c><00:04:40.120><c> he</c><00:04:40.259><c> looked</c><00:04:40.560><c> like,</c><00:04:41.040><c> and</c><00:04:41.540><c> God</c>

00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:43.560
doesn't<00:04:42.240><c> tell</c><00:04:42.560><c> us</c><00:04:42.779><c> any</c><00:04:43.040><c> of</c><00:04:43.199><c> those</c><00:04:43.399><c> things</c>

00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:45.540
because<00:04:43.899><c> they're</c><00:04:44.160><c> not</c><00:04:44.439><c> important.</c>

00:04:46.019 --> 00:04:49.980
God<00:04:46.339><c> tells</c><00:04:46.720><c> us</c><00:04:48.139><c> what's</c><00:04:49.000><c> important.</c>

00:04:50.779 --> 00:04:56.319
So<00:04:51.060><c> we</c><00:04:51.180><c> know</c><00:04:51.579><c> really</c><00:04:52.060><c> nothing</c><00:04:52.420><c> about</c><00:04:52.759><c> his</c><00:04:52.959><c> background,</c><00:04:55.779><c> nothing</c><00:04:56.060><c> about</c>

00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.560
his<00:04:56.600><c> birth,</c><00:04:58.819><c> nothing</c><00:04:59.060><c> about</c><00:04:59.360><c> his</c>

early<00:04:59.819><c> life.</c>

00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.000
We<00:05:02.420><c> just</c><00:05:02.800><c> open</c><00:05:03.100><c> our</c><00:05:03.339><c> books</c><00:05:03.560><c> to</c><00:05:03.759><c> Nehemiah</c><00:05:04.220><c> chapter</c><00:05:04.600><c> one,</c><00:05:04.819><c> which</c>

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.100
I<00:05:05.160><c> hope</c><00:05:05.319><c> you</c><00:05:05.459><c> will</c><00:05:05.720><c> do,</c><00:05:06.540><c> and</c><00:05:06.720><c> that's</c>

00:05:07.100 --> 00:05:09.720
where<00:05:07.279><c> we</c><00:05:07.519><c> begin</c><00:05:07.759><c> to</c><00:05:08.000><c> learn</c><00:05:08.180><c> about</c><00:05:08.480><c> him,</c><00:05:08.720><c> but</c><00:05:08.899><c> we</c><00:05:09.139><c> don't</c><00:05:09.519><c> know</c>

00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.879
what<00:05:09.920><c> we</c><00:05:10.060><c> would</c><00:05:10.339><c> like</c><00:05:10.560><c> to</c><00:05:10.800><c> know.</c>

00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:21.360
His<00:05:14.000><c> name,</c><00:05:15.060><c> Nehemiah,</c><00:05:17.339><c> means</c><00:05:17.740><c> consolation</c><00:05:19.540><c> of</c><00:05:20.360><c> Yah.</c>

00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:26.959
His<00:05:22.399><c> name</c><00:05:22.560><c> was</c><00:05:22.860><c> indicative</c><00:05:23.319><c> of</c><00:05:23.579><c> his</c><00:05:24.939><c> experiences</c><00:05:25.620><c> in</c><00:05:25.879><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:31.480
And<00:05:27.779><c> many</c><00:05:28.120><c> times</c><00:05:28.500><c> he</c><00:05:28.740><c> referred</c><00:05:29.240><c> to</c><00:05:30.259><c> God's</c><00:05:30.819><c> county</c><00:05:31.060><c> providence.</c>

00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.399
He<00:05:31.740><c> believed</c><00:05:32.040><c> that</c><00:05:32.360><c> God</c><00:05:32.680><c> was</c><00:05:33.019><c> working</c><00:05:33.379><c> in</c><00:05:33.740><c> him</c><00:05:33.959><c> and</c><00:05:34.240><c> through</c>

00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.379
him<00:05:34.720><c> to</c><00:05:35.100><c> bring</c><00:05:35.319><c> about</c><00:05:35.740><c> what</c><00:05:36.019><c> was</c><00:05:36.199><c> happening.</c>

00:05:36.459 --> 00:05:39.459
And<00:05:36.600><c> every</c><00:05:36.800><c> time</c><00:05:37.019><c> Nehemiah</c><00:05:37.459><c> did</c><00:05:37.600><c> something</c><00:05:37.959><c> good,</c><00:05:39.100><c> he</c><00:05:39.279><c> gave</c>

00:05:39.459 --> 00:05:40.500
God<00:05:39.639><c> all</c><00:05:39.819><c> the</c><00:05:39.980><c> credit</c><00:05:40.160><c> for</c><00:05:40.420><c> it.</c>

00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:42.420
He<00:05:40.620><c> says,</c><00:05:40.779><c> God</c><00:05:41.000><c> gave</c><00:05:41.139><c> me</c><00:05:41.360><c> the</c><00:05:41.620><c> idea.</c>

00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.720
Sometimes<00:05:43.819><c> when</c><00:05:43.980><c> we</c><00:05:44.160><c> get</c><00:05:44.259><c> a</c><00:05:44.379><c> good</c><00:05:44.500><c> idea,</c><00:05:44.779><c> we</c><00:05:44.899><c> say,</c><00:05:45.199><c> boy,</c><00:05:45.480><c> do</c><00:05:45.660><c> I</c>

00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:47.100
have<00:05:45.860><c> a</c><00:05:45.980><c> good</c><00:05:46.139><c> idea.</c>

00:05:47.860 --> 00:05:49.660
Nehemiah<00:05:48.300><c> never</c><00:05:48.540><c> said</c><00:05:48.720><c> that.</c>

00:05:49.740 --> 00:05:52.319
He<00:05:49.860><c> says,</c><00:05:50.259><c> God</c><00:05:50.540><c> put</c><00:05:50.720><c> it</c><00:05:50.839><c> into</c><00:05:51.000><c> my</c><00:05:51.300><c> mind.</c>

00:05:52.620 --> 00:05:55.819
He<00:05:52.899><c> always</c><00:05:53.319><c> gave</c><00:05:53.800><c> God</c><00:05:54.439><c> the</c><00:05:54.839><c> credit.</c>

00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.240
For<00:05:57.160><c> whatever</c><00:05:57.620><c> good</c><00:05:58.339><c> he</c><00:05:58.800><c> accomplished.</c>

00:06:01.699 --> 00:06:05.540
So<00:06:01.800><c> the</c><00:06:02.019><c> consolation</c><00:06:02.680><c> of</c><00:06:02.939><c> Yah</c><00:06:03.319><c> is</c><00:06:03.860><c> the</c><00:06:03.980><c> meaning</c><00:06:04.160><c> of</c><00:06:04.339><c> his</c><00:06:04.579><c> name.</c>

00:06:07.699 --> 00:06:13.120
Like<00:06:08.000><c> Paul,</c><00:06:09.439><c> Nehemiah</c><00:06:09.720><c> could</c><00:06:09.939><c> have</c><00:06:10.120><c> said,</c><00:06:10.699><c> the</c><00:06:10.819><c> father</c><00:06:11.379><c> of</c><00:06:11.740><c> mercies</c><00:06:12.360><c> and</c><00:06:12.639><c> God</c><00:06:12.920><c> of</c>

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:14.319
all<00:06:13.360><c> comfort,</c>

00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:18.000
who<00:06:15.500><c> comforts</c><00:06:15.939><c> all</c><00:06:16.279><c> of</c><00:06:16.459><c> us</c><00:06:17.040><c> in</c><00:06:17.360><c> our</c><00:06:17.620><c> affliction.</c>

00:06:18.300 --> 00:06:22.500
Nehemiah<00:06:18.779><c> had</c><00:06:19.060><c> them,</c><00:06:19.279><c> but</c><00:06:20.279><c> God</c><00:06:21.000><c> comforted</c><00:06:21.560><c> him.</c>

00:06:22.699 --> 00:06:25.459
So<00:06:23.180><c> we</c><00:06:23.319><c> open</c><00:06:23.600><c> our</c><00:06:23.779><c> books</c><00:06:24.019><c> to</c><00:06:24.259><c> Nehemiah</c><00:06:24.680><c> chapter</c><00:06:25.000><c> one,</c><00:06:25.319><c> verse</c>

00:06:25.459 --> 00:06:27.899
one,<00:06:25.680><c> and</c><00:06:25.800><c> it</c><00:06:25.899><c> tells</c><00:06:26.120><c> us</c><00:06:26.300><c> the</c><00:06:26.459><c> words</c><00:06:26.699><c> of</c><00:06:26.879><c> Nehemiah,</c>

the<00:06:28.240><c> son</c><00:06:28.399><c> of</c><00:06:28.600><c> Hekaliah.</c>

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.339
So<00:06:30.680><c> we</c><00:06:31.180><c> know</c><00:06:31.339><c> who</c><00:06:31.560><c> his</c><00:06:31.699><c> father</c><00:06:32.040><c> was.</c>

00:06:32.379 --> 00:06:33.759
Well,<00:06:32.600><c> we</c><00:06:32.699><c> know</c><00:06:32.860><c> his</c><00:06:33.060><c> father's</c><00:06:33.560><c> name.</c>

00:06:33.779 --> 00:06:36.040

00:07:35.579 --> 00:07:40.000

So<00:09:11.240><c> these</c><00:09:11.419><c> were</c><00:09:11.620><c> people</c><00:09:12.080><c> that</c><00:09:12.500><c> were</c><00:09:13.039><c> living</c><00:09:13.200><c> at</c><00:09:13.360><c> the</c><00:09:13.600><c> same</c>

00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:15.840
time<00:09:14.080><c> that</c><00:09:14.299><c> Nehemiah</c><00:09:14.840><c> lived.</c>

00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:21.440
Now<00:09:17.519><c> we</c><00:09:17.879><c> go</c><00:09:18.259><c> to</c><00:09:19.340><c> the</c><00:09:19.500><c> opening</c><00:09:19.799><c> scene</c><00:09:20.220><c> of</c><00:09:20.419><c> the</c><00:09:20.559><c> book.</c>

00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:28.080
And<00:09:21.759><c> we</c><00:09:21.860><c> go</c><00:09:21.980><c> into</c><00:09:22.120><c> this</c><00:09:22.620><c> beautiful,</c><00:09:23.399><c> luxurious</c><00:09:24.299><c> palace,</c><00:09:26.940><c> Shushan.</c>

00:09:28.379 --> 00:09:32.639
It's<00:09:28.740><c> cold</c><00:09:29.519><c> outside,</c><00:09:31.139><c> not</c><00:09:31.379><c> here</c><00:09:31.960><c> then.</c>

00:09:33.059 --> 00:09:37.580
It's<00:09:33.779><c> December,</c><00:09:35.879><c> and</c><00:09:35.960><c> that's</c><00:09:36.399><c> wintertime</c><00:09:36.940><c> in</c><00:09:37.100><c> Israel,</c><00:09:37.399><c> but</c>

00:09:37.580 --> 00:09:39.440
not<00:09:37.799><c> in</c><00:09:37.960><c> South</c><00:09:38.200><c> Africa</c><00:09:38.620><c> there.</c>

00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.659
It's<00:09:40.539><c> the</c><00:09:40.580><c> middle</c><00:09:40.779><c> of</c><00:09:40.879><c> their</c><00:09:41.139><c> summer</c><00:09:41.500><c> when</c><00:09:41.740><c> we</c><00:09:41.940><c> have</c><00:09:42.080><c> our</c><00:09:42.720><c> winter.</c>

00:09:44.299 --> 00:09:49.039
Incidentally,<00:09:45.720><c> Shushan</c><00:09:46.259><c> the</c><00:09:46.440><c> palace</c><00:09:46.799><c> was</c><00:09:47.200><c> not</c><00:09:47.620><c> air</c><00:09:47.919><c>-conditioned.</c>

00:09:50.139 --> 00:09:52.940
In<00:09:50.279><c> fact,</c><00:09:50.500><c> they</c><00:09:50.679><c> didn't</c><00:09:50.799><c> even</c><00:09:51.100><c> have</c><00:09:51.259><c> electric</c><00:09:51.779><c> fans.</c>

00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:58.399
So<00:09:54.039><c> if</c><00:09:54.559><c> you</c><00:09:54.779><c> think</c><00:09:54.980><c> you're</c><00:09:55.299><c> suffering,</c><00:09:56.700><c> he</c><00:09:56.860><c> was</c><00:09:57.019><c> living</c><00:09:57.220><c> in</c><00:09:57.419><c> the</c><00:09:57.580><c> lap</c><00:09:57.740><c> of</c><00:09:58.039><c> luxury</c>

00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:05.100
and<00:09:58.679><c> he</c><00:09:58.820><c> was</c><00:09:59.039><c> not</c><00:09:59.259><c> enjoying</c><00:09:59.559><c> all</c><00:09:59.980><c> the</c><00:10:00.200><c> comforts</c><00:10:00.759><c> which</c><00:10:00.980><c> you</c><00:10:01.379><c> enjoy</c><00:10:01.960><c> here</c><00:10:03.039><c> at</c><00:10:04.039><c> Hanover.</c>

00:10:06.179 --> 00:10:09.600
Everything<00:10:06.399><c> is</c><00:10:06.620><c> going</c><00:10:06.860><c> really</c><00:10:07.399><c> well</c><00:10:07.940><c> for</c><00:10:08.259><c> Nehemiah.</c>

00:10:10.620 --> 00:10:12.379
He's<00:10:11.259><c> got</c><00:10:11.419><c> a</c><00:10:11.580><c> good</c><00:10:11.779><c> job.</c>

00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:14.419
He's<00:10:13.200><c> a</c><00:10:13.340><c> king's</c><00:10:13.720><c> cupbearer.</c>

00:10:14.419 --> 00:10:16.639
That's<00:10:14.720><c> a</c><00:10:14.840><c> highly</c><00:10:15.100><c> exalted</c><00:10:15.539><c> position.</c>

00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:18.659
It<00:10:17.200><c> wasn't</c><00:10:17.399><c> really</c><00:10:17.659><c> hard</c><00:10:18.059><c> work.</c>

00:10:19.100 --> 00:10:20.379
It<00:10:19.179><c> was</c><00:10:19.440><c> important</c><00:10:19.899><c> work.</c>

00:10:20.379 --> 00:10:24.480
He<00:10:21.240><c> probably</c><00:10:21.240><c> paid</c><00:10:21.659><c> very</c><00:10:22.179><c> well</c><00:10:23.000><c> for</c><00:10:23.580><c> the</c><00:10:23.759><c> amount</c><00:10:23.919><c> of</c><00:10:24.179><c> hours</c><00:10:24.379><c> he</c>

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:25.940
had<00:10:24.659><c> to</c><00:10:24.799><c> work</c><00:10:25.000><c> in</c><00:10:25.139><c> those</c><00:10:25.440><c> days.</c>

00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:29.480
He<00:10:26.659><c> got</c><00:10:27.019><c> to</c><00:10:27.299><c> live</c><00:10:27.419><c> in</c><00:10:27.620><c> a</c><00:10:27.899><c> wonderful</c><00:10:28.340><c> palace.</c>

00:10:29.500 --> 00:10:31.340
You<00:10:29.500><c> know,</c><00:10:29.879><c> Nehemiah</c><00:10:30.139><c> could</c><00:10:30.360><c> have</c><00:10:30.559><c> kind</c><00:10:30.879><c> of</c><00:10:30.919><c> patted</c><00:10:31.019><c> himself</c>

00:10:31.340 --> 00:10:32.019
on<00:10:31.539><c> the</c><00:10:31.679><c> back</c><00:10:31.820><c> and</c><00:10:31.899><c> said,</c>

00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:34.840
Nehemiah,<00:10:32.980><c> things</c><00:10:33.159><c> are</c><00:10:33.340><c> going</c><00:10:33.559><c> really</c><00:10:34.039><c> well</c><00:10:34.200><c> for</c><00:10:34.440><c> you.</c>

00:10:34.980 --> 00:10:37.000
You're<00:10:35.440><c> doing</c><00:10:35.740><c> all</c><00:10:36.139><c> right.</c>

00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:42.700
And<00:10:38.679><c> then</c><00:10:38.820><c> he</c><00:10:38.899><c> gets</c><00:10:39.399><c> a</c><00:10:40.840><c> visit</c><00:10:41.159><c> from</c><00:10:41.379><c> his</c><00:10:41.759><c> brothers.</c>

00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.019
Now,<00:10:44.820><c> when</c><00:10:45.059><c> we</c><00:10:45.360><c> have</c><00:10:45.559><c> someone</c><00:10:45.980><c> come</c><00:10:46.379><c> to</c><00:10:46.659><c> see</c><00:10:46.879><c> us</c><00:10:47.179><c> from</c><00:10:47.519><c> home,</c>

00:10:48.019 --> 00:10:51.220
the<00:10:48.960><c> first</c><00:10:49.299><c> thing</c><00:10:49.539><c> we</c><00:10:49.639><c> want</c><00:10:49.820><c> to</c><00:10:49.919><c> say</c><00:10:49.980><c> is,</c><00:10:50.519><c> how</c><00:10:50.559><c> are</c><00:10:50.879><c> things</c>

00:10:51.220 --> 00:10:52.679
back<00:10:51.659><c> home?</c>

00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.779
I<00:10:53.159><c> just</c><00:10:53.399><c> saw</c><00:10:53.899><c> John</c><00:10:54.440><c> Knowles.</c>

00:10:54.860 --> 00:10:57.080
I<00:10:54.960><c> would</c><00:10:55.120><c> have</c><00:10:55.259><c> been</c><00:10:55.440><c> gone</c><00:10:55.700><c> a</c><00:10:56.000><c> couple</c><00:10:56.279><c> of</c><00:10:56.460><c> days</c><00:10:56.639><c> myself.</c>

00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:00.000
How<00:10:57.600><c> were</c><00:10:57.840><c> things</c><00:10:58.340><c> up</c><00:10:58.840><c> in</c><00:10:59.019><c> Idelwild?</c>

00:11:00.019 --> 00:11:01.899
Because<00:11:00.240><c> he's</c><00:11:00.519><c> been</c><00:11:00.700><c> there</c><00:11:00.899><c> since</c><00:11:01.120><c> I</c><00:11:01.379><c> was</c><00:11:01.600><c> there.</c>

00:11:02.340 --> 00:11:05.100
If<00:11:02.519><c> someone</c><00:11:02.899><c> suddenly</c><00:11:03.240><c> arrived</c><00:11:03.620><c> this</c><00:11:03.879><c> afternoon</c><00:11:04.200><c> from</c><00:11:04.460><c> Adelaide,</c>

00:11:05.259 --> 00:11:07.080
he<00:11:05.360><c> and</c><00:11:05.480><c> Phyllis</c><00:11:05.639><c> would</c><00:11:05.779><c> be</c><00:11:05.960><c> right</c><00:11:06.159><c> over</c><00:11:06.340><c> saying,</c><00:11:06.779><c> how</c><00:11:06.919><c> are</c>

00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:07.700
things<00:11:07.299><c> back</c><00:11:07.600><c> home?</c>

00:11:07.700 --> 00:11:08.299
How<00:11:07.840><c> are</c><00:11:07.919><c> the</c><00:11:08.100><c> children?</c>

00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:09.620
What's<00:11:08.539><c> going</c><00:11:08.779><c> on?</c>

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.379
Because<00:11:10.320><c> that's</c><00:11:10.740><c> the</c><00:11:10.759><c> way</c><00:11:10.940><c> we</c><00:11:11.179><c> are.</c>

00:11:11.419 --> 00:11:14.299
We<00:11:11.539><c> want</c><00:11:11.799><c> to</c><00:11:11.940><c> know</c><00:11:12.059><c> what's</c><00:11:12.480><c> happening</c><00:11:12.720><c> back</c><00:11:13.159><c> where</c><00:11:13.340><c> we</c><00:11:13.600><c> came</c><00:11:13.840><c> from.</c>

00:11:14.299 --> 00:11:18.940
So<00:11:15.259><c> when</c><00:11:15.840><c> Hananiah</c><00:11:16.519><c> comes,</c><00:11:17.700><c> the</c><00:11:17.700><c> first</c><00:11:18.039><c> thing</c><00:11:18.279><c> Nehemiah</c><00:11:18.759><c> says,</c>

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:20.659
tell<00:11:19.360><c> me</c><00:11:19.519><c> what's</c><00:11:19.799><c> happening</c><00:11:20.080><c> in</c><00:11:20.299><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.940
I<00:11:20.820><c> want</c><00:11:21.019><c> to</c><00:11:21.159><c> know</c><00:11:21.240><c> what's</c><00:11:21.539><c> going</c><00:11:21.840><c> on.</c>

00:11:25.059 --> 00:11:29.759
But<00:11:25.340><c> the</c><00:11:25.600><c> news</c><00:11:26.059><c> was</c><00:11:28.179><c> bad</c><00:11:28.519><c> news.</c>

00:11:30.539 --> 00:11:32.200
Verse<00:11:30.879><c> 3.</c>

00:11:32.899 --> 00:11:37.039
I<00:11:32.899><c> asked</c><00:11:33.399><c> them</c><00:11:33.720><c> concerning</c><00:11:34.139><c> the</c><00:11:34.500><c> Jews</c><00:11:35.100><c> that</c><00:11:35.720><c> had</c><00:11:35.899><c> escaped,</c>

00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.519
which<00:11:37.340><c> were</c><00:11:37.559><c> left</c><00:11:37.799><c> of</c><00:11:37.980><c> the</c><00:11:38.159><c> captivity</c><00:11:38.639><c> concerning</c><00:11:39.080><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.500
And<00:11:39.700><c> they</c><00:11:39.860><c> said</c><00:11:40.039><c> unto</c><00:11:40.200><c> me,</c><00:11:41.840><c> oh,</c><00:11:41.940><c> things</c><00:11:42.299><c> are</c><00:11:42.639><c> awful.</c>

00:11:43.700 --> 00:11:46.559
The<00:11:44.000><c> remnant</c><00:11:44.399><c> which</c><00:11:44.620><c> are</c><00:11:44.840><c> left</c><00:11:45.220><c> of</c><00:11:45.419><c> the</c><00:11:45.679><c> captivity</c><00:11:46.100><c> there</c><00:11:46.440><c> in</c>

00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:47.120
the<00:11:46.820><c> province</c>

00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:51.559
are<00:11:47.440><c> in</c><00:11:48.720><c> great</c><00:11:49.360><c> affliction</c><00:11:50.340><c> and</c><00:11:50.820><c> reproach.</c>

00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:53.759
The<00:11:51.960><c> wall</c><00:11:52.259><c> of</c><00:11:52.440><c> Jerusalem</c><00:11:52.740><c> is</c><00:11:53.059><c> broken</c><00:11:53.399><c> down.</c>

00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:56.460
The<00:11:54.019><c> gates</c><00:11:54.240><c> are</c><00:11:54.460><c> ever</c><00:11:54.700><c> burned</c><00:11:54.879><c> with</c><00:11:55.259><c> fire.</c>

00:11:57.059 --> 00:11:59.919
Oh,<00:11:57.299><c> it's</c><00:11:57.639><c> terrible,</c><00:11:58.480><c> Nehemiah.</c>

00:12:01.340 --> 00:12:04.220
And<00:12:01.700><c> you</c><00:12:01.799><c> would</c><00:12:02.019><c> feel</c><00:12:02.200><c> that</c><00:12:02.519><c> way</c><00:12:02.759><c> too</c><00:12:03.120><c> if</c><00:12:03.320><c> you</c><00:12:03.580><c> found</c><00:12:03.840><c> someone</c>

00:12:04.220 --> 00:12:06.480
that<00:12:04.419><c> just</c><00:12:04.700><c> came</c><00:12:05.000><c> from</c><00:12:05.299><c> your</c><00:12:05.639><c> hometown</c><00:12:06.080><c> and</c><00:12:06.340><c> says,</c>

00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:09.759
you<00:12:06.679><c> won't</c><00:12:07.000><c> believe</c><00:12:07.279><c> what's</c><00:12:07.799><c> happened</c><00:12:08.759><c> back</c><00:12:09.500><c> home.</c>

00:12:09.779 --> 00:12:11.320
We<00:12:09.940><c> had</c><00:12:10.120><c> a</c><00:12:10.299><c> terrible</c><00:12:10.740><c> fire.</c>

00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:12.940
We<00:12:11.679><c> had</c><00:12:12.039><c> an</c><00:12:12.200><c> earthquake.</c>

00:12:13.139 --> 00:12:13.899
We<00:12:13.220><c> had</c><00:12:13.600><c> this.</c>

00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:14.639
We<00:12:14.059><c> had</c><00:12:14.279><c> that.</c>

00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:16.379
Your<00:12:15.100><c> house</c><00:12:15.440><c> has</c><00:12:15.620><c> been</c><00:12:15.840><c> destroyed.</c>

00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.799
There's<00:12:16.659><c> nothing</c><00:12:17.019><c> where</c><00:12:17.240><c> you</c><00:12:17.419><c> used</c><00:12:17.700><c> to</c><00:12:17.940><c> live.</c>

00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:20.580

00:12:20.659 --> 00:12:24.059
I<00:12:20.740><c> mean,</c><00:12:21.059><c> you</c><00:12:21.179><c> would</c><00:12:21.399><c> feel</c><00:12:21.580><c> terrible</c><00:12:22.000><c> if</c><00:12:22.159><c> you</c><00:12:22.279><c> heard</c><00:12:22.379><c> that</c><00:12:22.659><c> kind</c><00:12:22.860><c> of</c><00:12:23.120><c> news.</c>

00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:29.379
But<00:12:26.360><c> you</c><00:12:26.840><c> might</c><00:12:27.240><c> take</c><00:12:28.080><c> this</c><00:12:28.340><c> attitude.</c>

00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.159
Well,<00:12:31.620><c> what</c><00:12:31.799><c> can</c><00:12:31.980><c> I</c><00:12:32.159><c> do</c><00:12:32.299><c> about</c><00:12:32.600><c> it?</c>

00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.960

Thank<00:12:37.299><c> goodness</c><00:12:37.539><c> things</c><00:12:37.779><c> are</c><00:12:37.960><c> going</c><00:12:38.159><c> well</c><00:12:38.440><c> for</c><00:12:38.659><c> me.</c>

00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.960

00:12:45.220 --> 00:12:47.679

other<00:12:47.940><c> places?</c>

00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:53.960
For<00:12:49.980><c> example,</c><00:12:51.460><c> we</c><00:12:51.559><c> a</c><00:12:51.980><c> few</c><00:12:52.059><c> years</c><00:12:52.340><c> ago</c><00:12:52.600><c> were</c><00:12:52.779><c> reading</c><00:12:53.080><c> of</c><00:12:53.360><c> the</c>

00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:02.100
And<00:12:57.500><c> the</c><00:12:57.740><c> Project</c><00:12:58.100><c> Jamaica</c><00:12:58.639><c> was</c><00:12:59.059><c> established</c><00:12:59.779><c> to</c><00:13:00.179><c> send</c><00:13:01.240><c> help</c>

00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:08.399
You<00:13:07.360><c> were</c><00:13:07.559><c> not</c><00:13:07.860><c> suffering.</c>

00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:11.139
I'm<00:13:09.039><c> sorry</c><00:13:09.340><c> about</c><00:13:09.580><c> my</c><00:13:09.820><c> brothers</c><00:13:09.980><c> and</c><00:13:10.120><c> sisters</c><00:13:10.259><c> down</c><00:13:10.480><c> there,</c><00:13:10.679><c> but</c><00:13:10.759><c> what</c><00:13:10.919><c> can</c><00:13:11.059><c> I</c>

It's<00:13:12.059><c> what</c><00:13:12.220><c> you</c><00:13:12.399><c> could</c><00:13:12.559><c> have</c><00:13:12.740><c> said.</c>

00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:17.179
Some<00:13:14.460><c> of</c><00:13:14.600><c> you</c><00:13:14.779><c> really</c><00:13:15.200><c> did</c><00:13:15.460><c> something</c><00:13:15.720><c> about</c><00:13:16.059><c> it.</c>

00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.500
You<00:13:17.519><c> did</c><00:13:17.700><c> what</c><00:13:17.879><c> you</c><00:13:18.159><c> could</c><00:13:18.379><c> to</c><00:13:18.659><c> help.</c>

00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:22.799
We've<00:13:20.200><c> been</c><00:13:20.279><c> reading</c><00:13:20.519><c> of</c><00:13:20.679><c> the</c><00:13:20.960><c> problems</c><00:13:21.159><c> in</c><00:13:21.399><c> South</c><00:13:21.700><c> Africa.</c>

00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:27.919
And<00:13:23.720><c> now</c><00:13:23.919><c> we</c><00:13:24.019><c> have</c><00:13:24.220><c> Brother</c><00:13:24.539><c> Barry</c><00:13:24.919><c> and</c><00:13:25.159><c> Sister</c><00:13:25.379><c> Lynn</c><00:13:25.740><c> with</c><00:13:26.919><c> us.</c>

00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:32.179
And<00:13:29.279><c> I</c><00:13:29.759><c> suppose</c><00:13:30.000><c> if</c><00:13:30.200><c> we</c><00:13:30.440><c> read</c><00:13:30.659><c> about</c><00:13:31.000><c> bad</c><00:13:31.379><c> things</c><00:13:31.679><c> in</c><00:13:31.840><c> South</c>

Africa<00:13:32.460><c> after</c><00:13:32.740><c> this,</c>

00:13:33.059 --> 00:13:34.679
we'll<00:13:33.259><c> think</c><00:13:33.440><c> of</c><00:13:33.600><c> the</c><00:13:33.779><c> laws.</c>

00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:35.980
I<00:13:35.039><c> wonder</c><00:13:35.220><c> if</c><00:13:35.360><c> they're</c><00:13:35.580><c> all</c><00:13:35.820><c> right.</c>

00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:37.639
How<00:13:36.279><c> are</c><00:13:36.399><c> things</c><00:13:36.740><c> in</c><00:13:36.919><c> South</c><00:13:37.240><c> Africa?</c>

00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:40.039
But<00:13:38.100><c> we</c><00:13:38.320><c> could</c><00:13:38.399><c> say,</c><00:13:38.659><c> well,</c><00:13:39.220><c> thank</c><00:13:39.299><c> goodness</c><00:13:39.580><c> everything's</c>

00:13:42.419 --> 00:13:45.419
Can<00:13:42.620><c> I</c><00:13:43.240><c> do</c><00:13:43.399><c> about</c><00:13:43.600><c> what's</c><00:13:43.860><c> going</c><00:13:44.019><c> on</c><00:13:44.120><c> in</c><00:13:44.279><c> South</c><00:13:44.500><c> Africa?</c>

00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:47.279
I<00:13:46.039><c> can't</c><00:13:46.259><c> do</c><00:13:46.440><c> anything.</c>

00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.960
We<00:13:48.500><c> heard</c><00:13:48.620><c> about</c><00:13:48.879><c> things</c><00:13:49.080><c> in</c><00:13:49.419><c> Guyana.</c>

00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.600
Things<00:13:51.539><c> were</c><00:13:51.879><c> serious</c><00:13:52.500><c> there.</c>

00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:56.679
So<00:13:54.039><c> Brother</c><00:13:54.259><c> Herb</c><00:13:54.559><c> Wilkinson</c><00:13:54.919><c> goes</c><00:13:55.159><c> down</c><00:13:55.440><c> and</c><00:13:55.779><c> gets</c><00:13:55.960><c> them</c><00:13:56.139><c> a</c><00:13:56.399><c> tractor</c>

00:14:00.100 --> 00:14:02.080

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:05.440
I<00:14:02.419><c> mean,</c><00:14:03.320><c> you</c><00:14:03.539><c> think,</c><00:14:03.820><c> what</c><00:14:04.039><c> can</c><00:14:04.279><c> I</c><00:14:04.539><c> do?</c>

00:14:05.620 --> 00:14:08.100
What<00:14:06.100><c> if</c><00:14:06.419><c> Nehemiah</c><00:14:06.980><c> had</c><00:14:07.220><c> said</c><00:14:07.500><c> that?</c>

00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:11.440
What<00:14:08.700><c> if</c><00:14:08.799><c> Nehemiah</c><00:14:09.120><c> said,</c><00:14:09.320><c> well,</c><00:14:09.379><c> I've</c><00:14:09.539><c> got</c><00:14:09.600><c> a</c><00:14:09.740><c> very</c><00:14:10.039><c> good</c><00:14:10.340><c> job.</c>

00:14:14.259 --> 00:14:16.320
There's<00:14:14.500><c> nothing</c><00:14:14.700><c> I</c><00:14:14.860><c> can</c><00:14:15.000><c> really</c><00:14:15.299><c> do</c><00:14:15.539><c> for</c><00:14:15.740><c> those</c><00:14:16.059><c> folks.</c>

00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:20.500
I'm<00:14:16.720><c> sorry</c><00:14:16.919><c> it</c><00:14:17.159><c> happened,</c><00:14:17.940><c> but</c><00:14:19.320><c> the</c><00:14:19.960><c> king</c><00:14:20.059><c> wants</c><00:14:20.320><c> me.</c>

00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:23.059
Oh,<00:14:20.700><c> yes,</c><00:14:20.899><c> king,</c><00:14:21.080><c> I'll</c><00:14:21.259><c> be</c><00:14:21.399><c> right</c><00:14:21.500><c> there</c><00:14:21.620><c> with</c><00:14:21.720><c> your</c><00:14:21.899><c> cup</c><00:14:22.019><c> of</c><00:14:22.200><c> wine.</c>

00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:27.399
It's<00:14:25.559><c> not</c><00:14:25.700><c> his</c><00:14:25.860><c> attitude</c><00:14:26.240><c> at</c><00:14:26.480><c> all.</c>

00:14:27.460 --> 00:14:29.159
He<00:14:27.639><c> did</c><00:14:27.799><c> four</c><00:14:28.039><c> things.</c>

00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:33.720
He<00:14:32.620><c> wept.</c>

00:14:34.059 --> 00:14:35.700
It's<00:14:34.539><c> not</c><00:14:34.679><c> wrong</c><00:14:34.919><c> for</c><00:14:35.080><c> men</c><00:14:35.240><c> to</c><00:14:35.440><c> cry.</c>

00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:37.679
We<00:14:36.059><c> think</c><00:14:36.299><c> so</c><00:14:36.539><c> in</c><00:14:36.620><c> this</c><00:14:36.799><c> country,</c><00:14:36.960><c> but</c><00:14:37.059><c> it's</c><00:14:37.299><c> not.</c>

00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:41.600
God<00:14:38.299><c> did</c><00:14:38.500><c> not</c><00:14:38.700><c> make</c><00:14:38.879><c> a</c><00:14:39.059><c> mistake</c><00:14:39.379><c> when</c><00:14:39.519><c> he</c><00:14:39.639><c> put</c><00:14:39.820><c> tear</c><00:14:40.039><c> ducts</c><00:14:40.340><c> on</c><00:14:40.440><c> men.</c>

00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:45.700
He<00:14:44.720><c> mourned.</c>

00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:49.259
He<00:14:48.279><c> fasted.</c>

00:14:50.460 --> 00:14:51.700
And<00:14:50.600><c> he</c><00:14:50.879><c> prayed.</c>

00:14:52.379 --> 00:14:55.820
There<00:14:52.620><c> are</c><00:14:52.980><c> 11</c><00:14:53.399><c> prayers</c><00:14:54.159><c> in</c><00:14:54.379><c> 13</c><00:14:54.759><c> chapters</c><00:14:55.159><c> of</c><00:14:55.419><c> Nehemiah.</c>

00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:58.039
You<00:14:56.019><c> can</c><00:14:56.240><c> count</c><00:14:56.360><c> them</c><00:14:56.539><c> sometimes</c><00:14:56.840><c> if</c><00:14:56.980><c> you'd</c><00:14:57.220><c> like.</c>

00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:04.919
The<00:14:59.460><c> book</c><00:14:59.700><c> of</c><00:14:59.860><c> Nehemiah</c><00:15:01.799><c> is</c><00:15:02.220><c> divided</c><00:15:02.519><c> up</c><00:15:02.759><c> into</c><00:15:03.179><c> two</c><00:15:03.700><c> sections.</c>

00:15:05.500 --> 00:15:08.200
The<00:15:05.580><c> first</c><00:15:06.179><c> section</c><00:15:06.559><c> is</c><00:15:06.899><c> chapters</c><00:15:07.159><c> one</c><00:15:07.500><c> through</c><00:15:07.740><c> six,</c>

00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:11.700
and<00:15:08.399><c> it</c><00:15:09.059><c> has</c><00:15:09.360><c> to</c><00:15:09.539><c> do</c><00:15:09.620><c> with</c><00:15:09.799><c> the</c><00:15:09.940><c> rebuilding</c><00:15:10.279><c> of</c><00:15:10.519><c> the</c><00:15:10.779><c> wall.</c>

00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:16.299
The<00:15:12.679><c> second</c><00:15:12.940><c> section</c><00:15:13.379><c> has</c><00:15:13.899><c> to</c><00:15:14.279><c> do</c><00:15:14.399><c> with</c><00:15:14.639><c> the</c><00:15:14.860><c> rebuilding</c><00:15:15.559><c> of</c>

00:15:16.299 --> 00:15:16.940
the<00:15:16.539><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:15:17.059 --> 00:15:19.220
chapters<00:15:17.440><c> seven</c><00:15:17.840><c> through</c><00:15:18.059><c> 13.</c>

00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.899
Now,<00:15:21.340><c> some</c><00:15:21.519><c> people</c><00:15:21.740><c> are</c><00:15:21.940><c> good</c><00:15:22.059><c> at</c><00:15:22.220><c> one</c><00:15:22.440><c> thing</c><00:15:22.559><c> and</c><00:15:22.720><c> not</c><00:15:22.879><c> at</c><00:15:23.059><c> others.</c>

00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:27.740
For<00:15:24.399><c> example,</c><00:15:25.000><c> we</c><00:15:25.100><c> have</c><00:15:25.320><c> some</c><00:15:25.659><c> that</c><00:15:25.980><c> are</c><00:15:26.120><c> just</c><00:15:26.299><c> very</c><00:15:27.059><c> handy</c><00:15:27.539><c> at</c>

00:15:27.740 --> 00:15:28.419
building<00:15:28.039><c> things.</c>

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:29.620
And<00:15:28.620><c> you</c><00:15:28.659><c> have</c><00:15:28.820><c> a</c><00:15:29.059><c> project</c><00:15:29.320><c> to</c><00:15:29.539><c> do.</c>

00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:30.759
We've<00:15:29.820><c> got</c><00:15:29.879><c> to</c><00:15:30.120><c> repair</c><00:15:30.340><c> the</c><00:15:30.600><c> hall.</c>

00:15:30.820 --> 00:15:31.840
We're<00:15:31.000><c> going</c><00:15:31.100><c> to</c><00:15:31.240><c> build</c><00:15:31.419><c> a</c><00:15:31.620><c> hall.</c>

00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:33.340
Or<00:15:32.220><c> we</c><00:15:32.279><c> need</c><00:15:32.419><c> to</c><00:15:32.559><c> have</c><00:15:32.679><c> something</c><00:15:32.980><c> fixed.</c>

00:15:33.659 --> 00:15:34.740
And<00:15:33.860><c> they</c><00:15:33.960><c> say,</c><00:15:34.080><c> let</c><00:15:34.220><c> me</c><00:15:34.419><c> have</c><00:15:34.580><c> it.</c>

00:15:34.740 --> 00:15:36.799
And<00:15:34.860><c> they</c><00:15:35.059><c> grab</c><00:15:35.240><c> their</c><00:15:35.419><c> hammer</c><00:15:35.700><c> and</c><00:15:35.840><c> their</c><00:15:36.120><c> saw</c><00:15:36.299><c> and</c><00:15:36.440><c> their</c><00:15:36.639><c> tools,</c>

00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:40.059
and<00:15:37.000><c> they</c><00:15:37.039><c> go</c><00:15:37.159><c> and</c><00:15:37.279><c> everything</c><00:15:38.500><c> just</c><00:15:38.840><c> hums</c><00:15:39.100><c> along.</c>

00:15:42.340 --> 00:15:46.379
And<00:15:42.539><c> then</c><00:15:42.659><c> there</c><00:15:42.860><c> are</c><00:15:44.179><c> others</c><00:15:44.500><c> who</c><00:15:44.740><c> are</c><00:15:44.960><c> good</c><00:15:45.179><c> at</c><00:15:45.600><c> working</c><00:15:45.820><c> with</c><00:15:46.080><c> the</c><00:15:46.200><c> brethren</c>

00:15:46.379 --> 00:15:52.059
and<00:15:46.600><c> sisters</c><00:15:47.320><c> and</c><00:15:49.019><c> can</c><00:15:49.320><c> counsel</c><00:15:49.740><c> and</c><00:15:50.639><c> comfort</c><00:15:51.139><c> and</c><00:15:51.419><c> console.</c>

00:15:52.059 --> 00:15:54.179
But<00:15:52.620><c> you</c><00:15:52.759><c> give</c><00:15:52.899><c> them</c><00:15:53.059><c> a</c><00:15:53.279><c> hammer,</c><00:15:53.799><c> and</c><00:15:53.840><c> they</c><00:15:53.940><c> don't</c><00:15:54.059><c> know</c><00:15:54.179><c> what</c>

00:15:54.179 --> 00:15:55.639
to<00:15:54.360><c> do</c><00:15:54.460><c> with</c><00:15:54.700><c> it.</c>

00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.860
But<00:15:56.620><c> Nehemiah</c><00:15:57.120><c> seemed</c><00:15:57.379><c> to</c><00:15:57.539><c> be</c><00:15:57.679><c> one</c><00:15:57.879><c> of</c><00:15:57.940><c> those</c><00:15:58.360><c> rare,</c><00:15:59.139><c> blessed</c><00:15:59.360><c> people</c>

00:15:59.860 --> 00:16:01.620
that<00:16:00.120><c> was</c><00:16:00.299><c> good</c><00:16:00.460><c> at</c><00:16:00.639><c> everything.</c>

00:16:02.059 --> 00:16:05.559
He<00:16:02.220><c> was</c><00:16:02.480><c> wonderful</c><00:16:02.879><c> at</c><00:16:03.200><c> organizing</c><00:16:03.559><c> and</c><00:16:03.799><c> rebuilding</c><00:16:04.120><c> the</c><00:16:04.440><c> wall.</c>

00:16:05.659 --> 00:16:09.480
He<00:16:05.779><c> was</c><00:16:06.039><c> wonderful</c><00:16:06.720><c> at</c><00:16:07.259><c> helping</c><00:16:07.580><c> encourage</c><00:16:08.279><c> and</c><00:16:08.659><c> inspire</c><00:16:09.159><c> the</c>

00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:11.019
brethren<00:16:09.779><c> and</c><00:16:10.000><c> sisters.</c>

00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.860
He<00:16:12.480><c> put</c><00:16:12.820><c> it</c><00:16:13.000><c> all</c><00:16:13.240><c> together,</c><00:16:13.960><c> as</c><00:16:14.159><c> we</c><00:16:14.360><c> sometimes</c><00:16:14.840><c> say.</c>

00:16:16.500 --> 00:16:21.940
And<00:16:17.019><c> he</c><00:16:17.120><c> was</c><00:16:17.299><c> more</c><00:16:17.539><c> interested</c><00:16:17.980><c> in</c><00:16:18.179><c> the</c><00:16:18.399><c> welfare</c><00:16:19.220><c> of</c><00:16:20.799><c> his</c><00:16:21.019><c> brethren</c><00:16:21.279><c> and</c><00:16:21.519><c> sisters</c>

00:16:21.940 --> 00:16:26.899
than<00:16:22.159><c> he</c><00:16:22.320><c> was</c><00:16:22.580><c> his</c><00:16:22.779><c> own</c><00:16:23.480><c> comfort</c><00:16:24.240><c> and</c><00:16:25.840><c> happiness.</c>

00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:33.080
He<00:16:28.759><c> was</c><00:16:29.019><c> so</c><00:16:29.340><c> full</c><00:16:29.519><c> of</c><00:16:29.659><c> the</c><00:16:29.899><c> truth</c><00:16:30.200><c> that</c><00:16:30.419><c> that's</c><00:16:30.799><c> all</c><00:16:31.080><c> that</c><00:16:31.320><c> mattered</c><00:16:31.559><c> to</c><00:16:31.740><c> him.</c>

00:16:33.340 --> 00:16:36.720
And<00:16:33.519><c> he</c><00:16:33.600><c> made</c><00:16:33.860><c> great</c><00:16:34.340><c> sacrifices</c><00:16:35.100><c> because</c><00:16:35.600><c> of</c><00:16:35.799><c> it.</c>

00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:42.299
We<00:16:39.480><c> read</c><00:16:39.720><c> in</c><00:16:39.860><c> chapter</c><00:16:40.179><c> 1</c><00:16:40.440><c> and</c><00:16:40.600><c> verse</c><00:16:40.919><c> 4,</c>

00:16:42.299 --> 00:16:45.759
It<00:16:43.019><c> came</c><00:16:43.179><c> to</c><00:16:43.379><c> pass</c><00:16:43.539><c> when</c><00:16:43.700><c> I</c><00:16:43.779><c> heard</c><00:16:43.960><c> these</c><00:16:44.259><c> words</c><00:16:44.500><c> that</c><00:16:44.720><c> I</c><00:16:44.860><c> sat</c><00:16:45.100><c> down</c>

00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:52.899
and<00:16:46.100><c> wept</c><00:16:46.519><c> and</c><00:16:46.779><c> mourned</c><00:16:48.399><c> and</c><00:16:49.000><c> fasted</c><00:16:50.039><c> and</c><00:16:50.360><c> prayed</c><00:16:51.200><c> before</c><00:16:52.659><c> the</c>

00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:57.580

00:17:13.059 --> 00:17:15.880
He<00:17:13.579><c> mixed</c><00:17:13.740><c> his</c><00:17:14.079><c> faith</c><00:17:14.279><c> and</c><00:17:14.539><c> worked</c><00:17:14.740><c> together.</c>

00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:20.180

00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.460

00:17:56.460 --> 00:17:58.839

00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:02.160
Because<00:17:59.299><c> I</c><00:17:59.940><c> think</c><00:18:00.099><c> it's</c><00:18:00.319><c> better</c><00:18:00.599><c> to</c><00:18:00.859><c> use</c><00:18:01.160><c> someone</c><00:18:01.519><c> else's</c>

But<00:18:07.700><c> that</c><00:18:08.259><c> doesn't</c><00:18:08.740><c> mean</c><00:18:09.299><c> that</c><00:18:09.579><c> we</c><00:18:09.779><c> just</c><00:18:10.259><c> glibly</c><00:18:11.019><c> memorize</c><00:18:11.640><c> a</c>

00:18:12.299 --> 00:18:15.380

00:18:16.380 --> 00:18:20.920
But<00:18:16.619><c> if</c><00:18:16.819><c> we</c><00:18:17.019><c> can</c><00:18:17.400><c> feel</c><00:18:17.759><c> and</c><00:18:18.279><c> say,</c><00:18:19.019><c> and</c><00:18:19.220><c> as</c><00:18:19.440><c> you</c><00:18:19.619><c> read</c><00:18:19.779><c> this</c><00:18:20.039><c> prayer</c><00:18:20.200><c> of</c><00:18:20.380><c> Nehemiah,</c>

00:18:26.019 --> 00:18:29.059
but<00:18:26.420><c> the</c><00:18:26.819><c> prayer</c><00:18:27.019><c> is</c><00:18:27.200><c> coming</c><00:18:27.339><c> right</c><00:18:27.579><c> out</c><00:18:27.700><c> of</c><00:18:27.759><c> his</c><00:18:27.960><c> heart.</c>

00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:06.500
He<00:21:02.500><c> was</c><00:21:02.779><c> capturing</c><00:21:03.240><c> the</c><00:21:03.559><c> same</c><00:21:03.920><c> thought</c><00:21:04.240><c> that</c><00:21:04.559><c> Solomon</c><00:21:04.960><c> had</c><00:21:05.920><c> in</c>

his<00:21:06.880><c> prayer,</c>

00:21:09.380 --> 00:21:12.480
because<00:21:09.980><c> Nehemiah</c><00:21:10.579><c> had</c><00:21:10.819><c> read</c><00:21:10.980><c> Solomon's</c><00:21:11.599><c> prayer,</c>

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:14.660

00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:45.500
The<00:21:41.839><c> greatest</c><00:21:42.200><c> example</c><00:21:42.859><c> of</c><00:21:43.019><c> that</c><00:21:44.000><c> that</c><00:21:44.420><c> we</c><00:21:44.559><c> can</c><00:21:44.779><c> possibly</c><00:21:45.119><c> think</c><00:21:45.380><c> of</c>

00:30:40.940 --> 00:30:45.400
Now<00:30:41.420><c> that's</c><00:30:41.839><c> the</c><00:30:41.880><c> way</c><00:30:41.980><c> it</c><00:30:42.039><c> was</c><00:30:42.240><c> around</c><00:30:42.559><c> kings</c><00:30:43.039><c> because</c><00:30:44.259><c> the</c><00:30:44.720><c> king</c><00:30:44.900><c> didn't</c><00:30:45.140><c> want</c><00:30:45.259><c> to</c>

hear<00:30:45.500><c> about</c><00:30:45.779><c> your</c><00:30:46.000><c> troubles.</c>

00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:48.059
You<00:30:46.680><c> know</c><00:30:46.920><c> most</c><00:30:47.160><c> people</c><00:30:47.460><c> don't.</c>

00:30:48.180 --> 00:30:50.339
They<00:30:48.380><c> say</c><00:30:48.539><c> don't</c><00:30:48.759><c> tell</c><00:30:49.000><c> people</c><00:30:49.259><c> your</c><00:30:49.460><c> troubles</c><00:30:49.720><c> because</c><00:30:50.079><c> most</c>

00:30:50.339 --> 00:30:54.000
people<00:30:50.579><c> couldn't</c><00:30:50.859><c> care</c><00:30:51.180><c> less</c><00:30:51.740><c> and</c><00:30:52.180><c> the</c><00:30:52.319><c> rest</c><00:30:52.480><c> of</c><00:30:52.559><c> them</c><00:30:52.640><c> are</c><00:30:52.799><c> glad</c><00:30:53.000><c> of</c><00:30:53.240><c> it.</c>

00:30:55.700 --> 00:30:58.859
So<00:30:56.039><c> sometimes</c><00:30:56.539><c> we</c><00:30:56.720><c> go</c><00:30:56.920><c> around</c><00:30:57.119><c> telling</c><00:30:57.339><c> people</c><00:30:57.640><c> our</c><00:30:57.940><c> troubles</c>

00:30:58.859 --> 00:31:01.819
when<00:31:00.359><c> we</c><00:31:00.740><c> really</c><00:31:01.180><c> shouldn't.</c>

00:31:02.140 --> 00:31:05.220
But<00:31:02.420><c> Nehemiah</c><00:31:03.039><c> had</c><00:31:03.240><c> a</c><00:31:03.519><c> plan</c><00:31:03.740><c> and</c><00:31:03.940><c> there</c><00:31:04.059><c> was</c><00:31:04.200><c> a</c><00:31:04.460><c> purpose</c><00:31:04.759><c> behind</c><00:31:05.039><c> what</c>

00:31:05.220 --> 00:31:06.680
he<00:31:05.380><c> was</c><00:31:05.579><c> doing.</c>

00:31:07.339 --> 00:31:11.279
And<00:31:07.900><c> he</c><00:31:08.119><c> realized</c><00:31:08.660><c> he</c><00:31:08.839><c> needed</c><00:31:09.180><c> to</c><00:31:09.640><c> do</c><00:31:09.900><c> this</c><00:31:10.240><c> in</c><00:31:10.380><c> order</c><00:31:10.720><c> to</c><00:31:11.000><c> get</c>

00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:13.759
the<00:31:11.680><c> king's</c><00:31:13.220><c> attention.</c>

00:31:13.900 --> 00:31:16.759
So<00:31:14.119><c> he</c><00:31:14.339><c> took</c><00:31:14.579><c> a</c><00:31:14.799><c> calculated</c><00:31:15.339><c> risk.</c>

00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:18.759
Verse<00:31:17.380><c> one,</c><00:31:17.940><c> bottom</c><00:31:18.200><c> of</c><00:31:18.359><c> the</c><00:31:18.480><c> verse.</c>

00:31:19.099 --> 00:31:23.240
Now<00:31:19.259><c> I</c><00:31:19.539><c> had</c><00:31:19.819><c> not</c><00:31:20.099><c> been</c><00:31:20.400><c> before</c><00:31:20.819><c> time</c><00:31:21.160><c> sad</c><00:31:21.779><c> in</c><00:31:21.960><c> his</c><00:31:22.299><c> presence.</c>

00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:27.079
You<00:31:23.660><c> can</c><00:31:24.220><c> imagine</c><00:31:24.880><c> Nehemiah</c><00:31:25.700><c> almost</c><00:31:26.220><c> rehearsing.</c>

00:31:27.339 --> 00:31:31.700
He's<00:31:27.619><c> been</c><00:31:27.839><c> going</c><00:31:28.140><c> before</c><00:31:28.680><c> the</c><00:31:28.980><c> king</c><00:31:29.220><c> for</c><00:31:29.640><c> years,</c><00:31:30.700><c> smiling</c><00:31:31.000><c> every</c><00:31:31.420><c> time</c><00:31:31.599><c> he</c>

00:31:31.700 --> 00:31:32.480
went<00:31:31.779><c> to</c><00:31:31.960><c> see</c><00:31:32.119><c> the</c><00:31:32.319><c> king.</c>

00:31:32.539 --> 00:31:34.539
Good<00:31:32.740><c> morning</c><00:31:32.920><c> king,</c><00:31:33.180><c> here's</c><00:31:33.460><c> your</c><00:31:33.680><c> wine.</c>

00:31:34.619 --> 00:31:39.420
And<00:31:35.099><c> now</c><00:31:35.339><c> he's</c><00:31:35.720><c> got</c><00:31:35.880><c> to,</c><00:31:36.759><c> almost</c><00:31:36.980><c> by</c><00:31:37.240><c> force</c><00:31:37.400><c> of</c><00:31:37.720><c> habit</c><00:31:37.920><c> he</c><00:31:38.119><c> would</c><00:31:38.279><c> have</c><00:31:38.460><c> smiled.</c>

00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:42.180
Now<00:31:40.200><c> he</c><00:31:40.599><c> was</c><00:31:41.160><c> sad.</c>

00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:43.720
He<00:31:42.440><c> had</c><00:31:42.599><c> things</c><00:31:42.819><c> to</c><00:31:42.940><c> be</c><00:31:43.140><c> sad</c><00:31:43.380><c> about.</c>

00:31:43.779 --> 00:31:45.099
But<00:31:43.920><c> he'd</c><00:31:44.160><c> been</c><00:31:44.259><c> sad</c><00:31:44.519><c> before.</c>

00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:46.640
He'd<00:31:45.759><c> felt</c><00:31:45.880><c> poorly</c><00:31:46.220><c> before.</c>

00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:49.779
You<00:31:46.880><c> don't</c><00:31:47.079><c> always</c><00:31:47.440><c> feel</c><00:31:47.599><c> the</c><00:31:47.839><c> same</c><00:31:47.980><c> every</c><00:31:48.319><c> day,</c><00:31:48.839><c> do</c><00:31:48.940><c> you?</c>

00:31:50.299 --> 00:31:53.079
But<00:31:50.539><c> if</c><00:31:50.660><c> you're</c><00:31:50.799><c> before</c><00:31:51.039><c> the</c><00:31:51.279><c> king,</c><00:31:51.519><c> you</c><00:31:51.680><c> don't</c><00:31:52.000><c> tell</c><00:31:52.240><c> him</c><00:31:52.400><c> your</c><00:31:52.579><c> troubles</c><00:31:52.900><c> and</c>

00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:54.180
you<00:31:53.640><c> look</c><00:31:53.839><c> sad.</c>

00:31:54.220 --> 00:31:56.319
You<00:31:54.380><c> just</c><00:31:54.660><c> smile</c><00:31:55.059><c> and</c><00:31:55.279><c> go</c><00:31:55.380><c> in</c><00:31:55.500><c> and</c><00:31:55.579><c> do</c><00:31:55.680><c> your</c><00:31:55.880><c> work.</c>

00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:04.839
So<00:31:57.140><c> he,</c><00:31:57.900><c> on</c><00:31:58.339><c> purpose,</c><00:32:00.980><c> made</c><00:32:01.180><c> himself</c><00:32:02.339><c> feel</c><00:32:04.380><c> sad.</c>

00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.339
He<00:32:04.940><c> didn't</c><00:32:05.039><c> have</c><00:32:05.240><c> to</c><00:32:05.279><c> make</c><00:32:05.460><c> himself</c><00:32:05.720><c> feel</c><00:32:05.920><c> sad,</c><00:32:06.079><c> but</c><00:32:06.279><c> he</c><00:32:06.740><c> showed</c><00:32:07.099><c> how</c>

But<00:32:11.559><c> before</c><00:32:11.720><c> the</c><00:32:11.839><c> king</c><00:32:12.079><c> said</c><00:32:12.259><c> anything</c><00:32:12.420><c> to</c><00:32:12.420><c> him,</c>

00:32:13.180 --> 00:32:16.940
Why<00:32:13.299><c> is</c><00:32:13.559><c> thy</c><00:32:13.720><c> countenance</c><00:32:14.339><c> sad,</c><00:32:14.819><c> seeing</c><00:32:14.880><c> that</c><00:32:15.039><c> thou</c><00:32:15.259><c> art</c><00:32:15.400><c> not</c><00:32:15.759><c> sick?</c>

00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:20.259
Thou<00:32:18.259><c> art</c><00:32:18.480><c> not</c><00:32:18.579><c> okay</c><00:32:18.779><c> to</c><00:32:18.940><c> me,</c><00:32:19.359><c> Nehemiah,</c><00:32:19.480><c> what's</c><00:32:19.819><c> wrong?</c>

00:32:20.380 --> 00:32:22.519
There<00:32:20.559><c> is</c><00:32:20.640><c> nothing</c><00:32:20.940><c> else</c><00:32:21.279><c> but</c><00:32:21.579><c> sorrow</c><00:32:21.960><c> at</c><00:32:22.200><c> heart.</c>

00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:24.960
Oh,<00:32:24.160><c> this</c><00:32:24.519><c> is</c><00:32:24.700><c> that.</c>

00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:28.519
Nehemiah<00:32:25.460><c> said,</c><00:32:25.859><c> Then</c><00:32:26.079><c> I</c><00:32:26.420><c> was</c><00:32:26.420><c> I</c><00:32:26.900><c> so</c><00:32:27.220><c> afraid.</c>

00:32:29.180 --> 00:32:31.359
You<00:32:29.480><c> might</c><00:32:29.700><c> have</c><00:32:29.819><c> wondered,</c><00:32:30.059><c> why</c><00:32:30.359><c> would</c><00:32:30.619><c> you</c><00:32:30.740><c> just</c><00:32:30.960><c> be</c><00:32:31.220><c> afraid</c>

00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:31.819
if<00:32:31.460><c> somebody</c><00:32:31.680><c> said,</c>

00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:33.200
How<00:32:31.940><c> can</c><00:32:32.079><c> you</c><00:32:32.160><c> look</c><00:32:32.299><c> down</c><00:32:32.500><c> in</c><00:32:32.619><c> the</c><00:32:32.759><c> dumps</c><00:32:32.980><c> today?</c>

00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:35.599
I<00:32:33.359><c> mean,</c><00:32:33.720><c> if</c><00:32:33.859><c> someone</c><00:32:34.099><c> asked</c><00:32:34.400><c> that</c><00:32:34.539><c> to</c><00:32:34.700><c> you</c><00:32:34.799><c> at</c><00:32:34.960><c> this</c><00:32:35.160><c> Bible</c><00:32:35.420><c> school,</c>

00:32:35.779 --> 00:32:37.799
Boy,<00:32:36.059><c> you</c><00:32:36.539><c> look</c><00:32:36.700><c> like</c><00:32:36.900><c> a</c><00:32:37.059><c> sourpuss</c><00:32:37.380><c> today</c><00:32:37.640><c> to</c><00:32:37.720><c> you.</c>

00:32:38.259 --> 00:32:39.339
I'm<00:32:38.680><c> scared</c><00:32:38.839><c> to</c><00:32:39.039><c> death.</c>

00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:41.460
No,<00:32:40.019><c> you're</c><00:32:40.240><c> not</c><00:32:40.400><c> because,</c><00:32:40.779><c> you</c><00:32:40.799><c> know,</c><00:32:40.880><c> that</c><00:32:41.039><c> person</c><00:32:41.259><c> isn't</c>

00:32:41.460 --> 00:32:42.579
going<00:32:41.579><c> to</c><00:32:41.680><c> take</c><00:32:41.779><c> your</c><00:32:41.980><c> head</c><00:32:42.119><c> off.</c>

00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:44.940
We<00:32:43.059><c> don't</c><00:32:43.240><c> do</c><00:32:43.420><c> that</c><00:32:43.599><c> at</c><00:32:43.799><c> Bible</c><00:32:44.019><c> schools.</c>

00:32:46.180 --> 00:32:49.440
But<00:32:46.380><c> the</c><00:32:46.640><c> king</c><00:32:46.880><c> had</c><00:32:47.140><c> the</c><00:32:47.440><c> power</c><00:32:47.779><c> to</c><00:32:48.019><c> do</c><00:32:48.259><c> that.</c>

00:32:49.940 --> 00:32:51.700
And<00:32:50.220><c> Nehemiah</c><00:32:50.779><c> knew</c><00:32:51.019><c> it.</c>

00:32:51.700 --> 00:32:56.240
And<00:32:52.299><c> Nehemiah</c><00:32:53.460><c> was</c><00:32:53.740><c> doing</c><00:32:54.039><c> it</c><00:32:54.299><c> in</c><00:32:54.500><c> order</c><00:32:54.940><c> to</c><00:32:55.279><c> get</c><00:32:55.460><c> his</c><00:32:55.720><c> attention.</c>

00:32:56.339 --> 00:32:57.619
And<00:32:56.460><c> it</c><00:32:56.720><c> worked.</c>

00:32:58.180 --> 00:33:00.299
But<00:32:58.339><c> he</c><00:32:58.660><c> still</c><00:32:58.960><c> was</c><00:32:59.319><c> frightened.</c>

00:33:01.380 --> 00:33:04.319
And<00:33:01.559><c> so</c><00:33:01.759><c> he</c><00:33:01.859><c> says,</c><00:33:02.119><c> Oh,</c><00:33:02.859><c> king,</c><00:33:03.160><c> live</c><00:33:03.319><c> forever.</c>

00:33:04.779 --> 00:33:07.019
That's<00:33:05.059><c> that</c><00:33:05.220><c> was</c><00:33:05.420><c> a</c><00:33:05.599><c> salutation</c><00:33:06.099><c> that</c><00:33:06.279><c> they</c><00:33:06.460><c> always</c><00:33:06.720><c> had</c><00:33:06.859><c> in</c>

00:33:07.019 --> 00:33:07.480
those<00:33:07.240><c> days.</c>

00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:08.539
They<00:33:07.880><c> didn't</c><00:33:08.140><c> do</c><00:33:08.380><c> it.</c>

00:33:08.539 --> 00:33:10.000
The<00:33:08.680><c> king's</c><00:33:08.859><c> always</c><00:33:09.039><c> up</c><00:33:09.240><c> and</c><00:33:09.460><c> died</c><00:33:09.559><c> anyway.</c>

00:33:10.059 --> 00:33:11.960
But<00:33:10.180><c> they</c><00:33:10.359><c> always</c><00:33:10.539><c> said</c><00:33:10.700><c> to</c><00:33:10.839><c> live</c><00:33:10.940><c> forever.</c>

00:33:13.660 --> 00:33:16.640
He<00:33:13.779><c> said,</c><00:33:13.920><c> Why</c><00:33:14.240><c> should</c><00:33:14.500><c> not</c><00:33:14.680><c> my</c><00:33:14.960><c> countenance</c><00:33:15.240><c> be</c><00:33:15.559><c> sad</c><00:33:16.160><c> when</c>

00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:17.359
the<00:33:16.920><c> city,</c>

00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:20.680
The<00:33:18.180><c> place</c><00:33:18.460><c> of</c><00:33:18.660><c> my</c><00:33:18.819><c> father's</c><00:33:19.200><c> sepulchres</c><00:33:19.740><c> lieth</c><00:33:20.140><c> waste,</c>

00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:23.380
And<00:33:20.960><c> the</c><00:33:21.160><c> gates</c><00:33:21.400><c> thereof</c><00:33:21.660><c> are</c><00:33:21.859><c> consumed</c><00:33:22.160><c> with</c><00:33:22.380><c> fire?</c>

00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:26.400
Now,<00:33:24.359><c> kings</c><00:33:24.440><c> were</c><00:33:24.640><c> used</c><00:33:24.839><c> to</c><00:33:25.019><c> people</c><00:33:25.240><c> wanting</c><00:33:25.579><c> favors</c><00:33:26.039><c> from</c><00:33:26.279><c> them.</c>

00:33:26.460 --> 00:33:28.240
He<00:33:26.500><c> says,</c><00:33:26.740><c> All</c><00:33:26.900><c> right,</c><00:33:27.039><c> what</c><00:33:27.180><c> do</c><00:33:27.420><c> you</c><00:33:27.480><c> want?</c>

00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:29.240
That's<00:33:28.640><c> verse</c><00:33:28.799><c> four.</c>

00:33:29.579 --> 00:33:32.319
The<00:33:29.680><c> king</c><00:33:29.839><c> said</c><00:33:30.019><c> to</c><00:33:30.119><c> me,</c><00:33:30.240><c> For</c><00:33:30.400><c> what</c><00:33:30.599><c> dost</c><00:33:30.819><c> thou</c><00:33:30.920><c> make</c><00:33:31.180><c> the</c><00:33:31.339><c> request?</c>

00:33:32.500 --> 00:33:35.759
The<00:33:32.940><c> king</c><00:33:33.220><c> could</c><00:33:33.519><c> tell</c><00:33:33.700><c> he</c><00:33:34.319><c> was</c><00:33:34.500><c> after</c><00:33:34.839><c> something.</c>

00:33:36.339 --> 00:33:37.279
Nehemiah<00:33:36.779><c> had</c><00:33:37.099><c> prayed.</c>

00:33:37.500 --> 00:33:39.380
How<00:33:37.660><c> long</c><00:33:37.859><c> had</c><00:33:38.059><c> Nehemiah</c><00:33:38.579><c> prepared</c><00:33:38.940><c> for</c><00:33:39.140><c> this?</c>

00:33:39.740 --> 00:33:40.700
Four<00:33:40.180><c> months.</c>

00:33:40.700 --> 00:33:42.299
He<00:33:40.839><c> did</c><00:33:41.019><c> his</c><00:33:41.259><c> homework.</c>

00:33:42.579 --> 00:33:43.759
He<00:33:42.720><c> didn't</c><00:33:42.859><c> just</c><00:33:43.160><c> run</c><00:33:43.319><c> in</c><00:33:43.480><c> the</c><00:33:43.599><c> day.</c>

00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:47.000
He<00:33:44.039><c> heard</c><00:33:44.200><c> the</c><00:33:44.400><c> news</c><00:33:44.539><c> that</c><00:33:44.660><c> things</c><00:33:44.859><c> were</c><00:33:45.079><c> bad</c><00:33:45.339><c> in</c><00:33:46.539><c> Jerusalem</c>

00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:48.019
for<00:33:47.319><c> four</c><00:33:47.720><c> months.</c>

00:33:48.279 --> 00:33:50.579
He<00:33:48.279><c> prayed</c><00:33:48.880><c> and</c><00:33:49.460><c> asked</c><00:33:49.819><c> God's</c><00:33:50.299><c> help.</c>

00:33:50.819 --> 00:33:52.319
And<00:33:50.839><c> then</c><00:33:51.019><c> he</c><00:33:51.799><c> acted.</c>

00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:56.099
I'm<00:33:52.779><c> sure</c><00:33:53.079><c> everything</c><00:33:53.839><c> was</c><00:33:54.460><c> done</c><00:33:54.859><c> with</c><00:33:55.119><c> a</c><00:33:55.380><c> plan</c><00:33:55.559><c> in</c><00:33:55.859><c> mind.</c>

00:33:56.140 --> 00:33:57.980
And<00:33:56.240><c> he</c><00:33:56.319><c> was</c><00:33:56.539><c> trying</c><00:33:56.740><c> to</c><00:33:57.000><c> time</c><00:33:57.140><c> it</c><00:33:57.400><c> just</c><00:33:57.740><c> right.</c>

00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:02.019
And<00:33:58.359><c> God</c><00:33:58.619><c> worked</c><00:33:59.819><c> wonderfully</c><00:34:00.539><c> in</c><00:34:00.920><c> cooperating</c><00:34:01.519><c> with</c><00:34:01.799><c> the</c>

00:34:02.019 --> 00:34:03.920
plans<00:34:02.220><c> that</c><00:34:02.460><c> Nehemiah</c><00:34:02.819><c> had</c><00:34:03.140><c> asked.</c>

00:34:04.059 --> 00:34:06.519
So<00:34:04.299><c> this</c><00:34:04.640><c> king</c><00:34:04.839><c> says,</c><00:34:05.140><c> What</c><00:34:05.299><c> do</c><00:34:05.599><c> you</c><00:34:05.640><c> want?</c>

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:08.380
Well,<00:34:07.339><c> now,</c><00:34:07.440><c> what</c><00:34:07.539><c> does</c><00:34:07.680><c> Nehemiah</c><00:34:08.119><c> do?</c>

00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:10.480
He<00:34:08.900><c> starts</c><00:34:09.179><c> to</c><00:34:09.380><c> tell</c><00:34:09.480><c> him,</c><00:34:09.619><c> right?</c>

00:34:10.900 --> 00:34:11.719
No.

00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:13.219
He<00:34:12.579><c> prayed.</c>

00:34:13.219 --> 00:34:14.340
Did<00:34:13.500><c> you</c><00:34:13.639><c> see</c><00:34:13.840><c> that?</c>

00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:15.539
The<00:34:14.599><c> bottom</c><00:34:14.880><c> of</c><00:34:15.079><c> verse</c><00:34:15.260><c> four.</c>

00:34:15.739 --> 00:34:17.219
So<00:34:15.860><c> I</c><00:34:16.139><c> pray</c><00:34:16.400><c> to</c><00:34:16.519><c> the</c><00:34:16.679><c> God</c><00:34:16.800><c> of</c><00:34:16.980><c> heaven.</c>

00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:19.639

We'll<00:36:19.599><c> check</c><00:36:19.800><c> this</c><00:36:20.039><c> out</c><00:36:20.159><c> as</c><00:36:20.280><c> the</c><00:36:20.460><c> time</c><00:36:20.639><c> goes</c><00:36:20.840><c> on.</c>

00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:24.400
I<00:36:21.079><c> don't</c><00:36:21.260><c> want</c><00:36:21.380><c> to,</c><00:36:21.900><c> my</c><00:36:22.159><c> time</c><00:36:22.400><c> is</c><00:36:22.579><c> going</c><00:36:22.780><c> too</c><00:36:23.139><c> fast</c><00:36:23.420><c> this</c><00:36:23.679><c> morning.</c>

00:36:24.420 --> 00:36:26.619
They<00:36:24.820><c> have</c><00:36:24.820><c> fast</c><00:36:25.159><c> time</c><00:36:25.440><c> at</c><00:36:25.699><c> Midwest.</c>

00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:29.320
But<00:36:28.199><c> twelve</c><00:36:28.599><c> years.</c>

00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:32.880
Now,<00:36:30.940><c> just</c><00:36:31.260><c> think,</c><00:36:31.480><c> if</c><00:36:31.659><c> you're</c><00:36:31.860><c> the</c><00:36:32.059><c> king's</c><00:36:32.360><c> cup</c><00:36:32.519><c> bearer,</c>

for<00:36:35.320><c> twelve</c><00:36:35.639><c> years?</c>

00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:39.619
No.

00:36:39.780 --> 00:36:43.500
They<00:36:39.960><c> were</c><00:36:40.119><c> going</c><00:36:40.280><c> to</c><00:36:40.360><c> get</c><00:36:40.519><c> a</c><00:36:40.760><c> new</c><00:36:41.159><c> cup</c><00:36:41.460><c> bearer.</c>

00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:46.739
And<00:36:43.960><c> Nehemiah</c><00:36:44.559><c> risked</c><00:36:45.639><c> losing</c><00:36:46.059><c> his</c><00:36:46.340><c> job.</c>

00:36:47.139 --> 00:36:49.320
And<00:36:47.260><c> sometimes</c><00:36:47.500><c> you're</c><00:36:47.679><c> afraid</c><00:36:47.920><c> to</c><00:36:48.139><c> take</c><00:36:48.340><c> time</c><00:36:48.619><c> off</c><00:36:48.840><c> because</c>

00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:51.559

00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:53.119
So<00:36:51.900><c> I</c><00:36:52.000><c> better</c><00:36:52.199><c> not</c><00:36:52.420><c> go</c><00:36:52.579><c> to</c><00:36:52.719><c> Bible</c><00:36:52.980><c> school.</c>

00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:54.820
I<00:36:53.280><c> better</c><00:36:53.380><c> just</c><00:36:53.599><c> keep</c><00:36:53.800><c> working.</c>

00:36:56.460 --> 00:37:00.579
If<00:36:56.739><c> you</c><00:36:56.900><c> have</c><00:36:57.079><c> faith</c><00:36:57.380><c> in</c><00:36:57.599><c> God,</c><00:36:57.940><c> he's</c><00:36:58.199><c> a</c><00:36:58.320><c> provider</c><00:36:58.679><c> of</c><00:36:58.900><c> all</c><00:36:59.219><c> things.</c>

00:37:02.300 --> 00:37:05.320
And<00:37:02.699><c> Nehemiah</c><00:37:03.099><c> realized</c><00:37:03.760><c> that</c><00:37:03.920><c> if</c><00:37:04.000><c> he</c><00:37:04.099><c> was</c><00:37:04.219><c> doing</c><00:37:04.440><c> God's</c><00:37:04.880><c> work,</c>

00:37:05.380 --> 00:37:08.260
he<00:37:05.559><c> came</c><00:37:05.800><c> back</c><00:37:06.119><c> and</c><00:37:06.480><c> the</c><00:37:06.699><c> new</c><00:37:06.960><c> cup</c><00:37:07.119><c> bearer</c><00:37:07.500><c> replaced</c><00:37:07.860><c> him,</c>

00:37:08.539 --> 00:37:09.639
God<00:37:08.780><c> would</c><00:37:09.019><c> take</c><00:37:09.260><c> care</c><00:37:09.440><c> of</c><00:37:09.559><c> him.</c>

00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:11.340
He<00:37:09.739><c> didn't</c><00:37:09.980><c> have</c><00:37:10.260><c> to</c><00:37:10.360><c> be</c><00:37:10.460><c> the</c><00:37:10.659><c> cup</c><00:37:10.860><c> bearer.</c>

00:37:11.380 --> 00:37:13.980
But<00:37:11.559><c> you</c><00:37:11.719><c> could</c><00:37:11.920><c> have</c><00:37:11.980><c> said,</c><00:37:12.840><c> oh,</c><00:37:12.980><c> God,</c><00:37:13.139><c> I'd</c><00:37:13.480><c> like</c><00:37:13.599><c> to</c><00:37:13.719><c> go</c><00:37:13.820><c> to</c>

00:37:13.980 --> 00:37:14.619
Jerusalem<00:37:14.280><c> and</c><00:37:14.519><c> help,</c>

00:37:14.619 --> 00:37:16.960
but<00:37:14.820><c> I'm</c><00:37:15.119><c> the</c><00:37:15.300><c> king's</c><00:37:15.579><c> cup</c><00:37:15.760><c> bearer</c><00:37:16.059><c> and</c><00:37:16.159><c> you</c><00:37:16.360><c> can't</c><00:37:16.559><c> do</c><00:37:16.760><c> that</c>

00:37:18.179 --> 00:37:20.340
And<00:37:18.400><c> so</c><00:37:18.500><c> I</c><00:37:18.659><c> just</c><00:37:18.800><c> have</c><00:37:18.940><c> to</c><00:37:19.280><c> get</c><00:37:19.460><c> somebody</c><00:37:19.760><c> else</c><00:37:20.019><c> to</c><00:37:20.119><c> do</c><00:37:20.219><c> it</c><00:37:20.219><c> or</c>

00:37:20.340 --> 00:37:21.059
let<00:37:20.500><c> him</c><00:37:20.619><c> do</c><00:37:20.780><c> without</c>

00:37:24.059 --> 00:37:27.300
And<00:37:24.300><c> I've</c><00:37:24.599><c> got</c><00:37:24.699><c> to</c><00:37:24.760><c> look</c><00:37:24.980><c> after</c><00:37:25.500><c> myself.</c>

00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:32.500
And<00:37:28.159><c> that</c><00:37:28.340><c> wasn't</c><00:37:28.699><c> his</c><00:37:28.940><c> attitude</c><00:37:29.639><c> at</c><00:37:31.420><c> all.</c>

00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:41.659

00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:47.920
He<00:37:45.239><c> says,</c><00:37:45.539><c> I</c><00:37:46.059><c> need</c><00:37:46.199><c> a</c><00:37:46.400><c> letter</c><00:37:46.639><c> under</c><00:37:46.920><c> Asaph,</c><00:37:47.420><c> the</c><00:37:47.559><c> keeper</c><00:37:47.739><c> of</c>

That's<00:37:58.119><c> Asaph.</c><00:37:58.460><c> Good.</c>

He<00:38:22.139><c> didn't</c><00:38:22.219><c> say,</c><00:38:22.360><c> boy,</c><00:38:22.679><c> that</c><00:38:22.820><c> was</c><00:38:22.980><c> a</c><00:38:23.119><c> good</c><00:38:23.239><c> idea</c><00:38:23.500><c> I</c><00:38:23.699><c> had.</c>

00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:25.760
I<00:38:24.019><c> really</c><00:38:24.980><c> pulled</c><00:38:25.239><c> that</c><00:38:25.539><c> off.</c>

00:38:25.780 --> 00:38:28.619
That<00:38:25.940><c> was</c><00:38:26.179><c> not</c><00:38:26.460><c> his</c><00:38:26.679><c> attitude</c><00:38:27.099><c> at</c><00:38:27.480><c> all.</c>

00:38:29.539 --> 00:38:32.019
The<00:38:29.619><c> king</c><00:38:29.960><c> granted</c><00:38:30.280><c> me</c><00:38:30.599><c> according</c><00:38:30.900><c> to</c><00:38:31.139><c> the</c><00:38:31.320><c> good</c><00:38:31.480><c> hand</c><00:38:31.639><c> of</c><00:38:31.820><c> my</c>

00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:37.420
And<00:38:34.280><c> so</c><00:38:34.420><c> he</c><00:38:34.559><c> leaves</c><00:38:35.159><c> and</c><00:38:36.420><c> he</c><00:38:36.599><c> goes</c><00:38:36.780><c> to</c><00:38:37.000><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:41.179
And<00:38:37.619><c> we</c><00:38:37.719><c> think,</c><00:38:37.860><c> well,</c><00:38:38.519><c> we</c><00:38:38.880><c> left</c><00:38:39.099><c> home</c><00:38:39.280><c> and</c><00:38:39.440><c> we</c><00:38:39.619><c> came</c><00:38:39.860><c> to</c><00:38:40.739><c> Hanover.</c>

00:38:41.500 --> 00:38:44.579
Do<00:38:41.639><c> you</c><00:38:41.639><c> know</c><00:38:41.719><c> how</c><00:38:41.980><c> far</c><00:38:42.119><c> it</c><00:38:42.400><c> was</c><00:38:42.579><c> from</c><00:38:42.880><c> Shushan,</c><00:38:43.380><c> the</c><00:38:43.599><c> palace,</c>

00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:51.860
It<00:38:48.079><c> was</c><00:38:48.360><c> 650</c><00:38:50.480><c> miles.</c>

00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:55.519
Now,<00:38:53.500><c> Bob</c><00:38:53.500><c> Wilson</c><00:38:53.940><c> has</c><00:38:54.139><c> been</c><00:38:54.360><c> helping</c><00:38:54.659><c> me.</c>

00:38:55.800 --> 00:39:00.559
He<00:38:55.980><c> tells</c><00:38:56.239><c> me</c><00:38:56.480><c> that</c><00:38:56.679><c> Minneapolis</c><00:38:57.360><c> is</c><00:38:58.739><c> about</c><00:38:59.179><c> 650</c><00:38:59.800><c> miles</c><00:39:00.340><c> from</c>

00:39:04.179 --> 00:39:07.059
And<00:39:04.320><c> Henry</c><00:39:04.579><c> Turnit</c><00:39:04.820><c> took</c><00:39:05.099><c> the</c><00:39:05.360><c> time</c><00:39:05.539><c> to</c><00:39:05.800><c> take</c><00:39:05.920><c> his</c><00:39:06.260><c> map</c><00:39:06.480><c> and</c>

00:39:08.179 --> 00:39:13.059

00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:17.039
650<00:39:15.860><c> miles.</c>

00:39:17.420 --> 00:39:23.639
Would<00:39:17.960><c> you</c><00:39:18.139><c> have</c><00:39:18.340><c> come</c><00:39:18.619><c> to</c><00:39:18.880><c> Hanover</c><00:39:20.079><c> if</c><00:39:21.239><c> you</c><00:39:21.480><c> had</c><00:39:21.679><c> had</c><00:39:21.840><c> to</c><00:39:22.059><c> walk</c>

00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:28.960

00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:32.159
Would<00:39:29.519><c> you</c><00:39:29.679><c> have</c><00:39:29.840><c> said,</c><00:39:30.019><c> well,</c><00:39:30.860><c> Bible</c><00:39:30.960><c> school</c><00:39:31.199><c> is</c><00:39:31.420><c> nice,</c><00:39:31.960><c> but</c>

00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:36.619
that's<00:39:33.900><c> a</c><00:39:34.039><c> long</c><00:39:34.719><c> ways</c><00:39:35.239><c> to</c><00:39:35.559><c> go.</c>

00:39:38.179 --> 00:39:41.519
And<00:39:38.440><c> no</c><00:39:38.679><c> cars,</c><00:39:40.260><c> certainly</c><00:39:40.480><c> no</c><00:39:40.739><c> airplanes.</c>

00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:46.920
You<00:39:42.599><c> just</c><00:39:42.940><c> put</c><00:39:43.139><c> one</c><00:39:43.440><c> foot</c><00:39:44.019><c> in</c><00:39:44.300><c> front</c><00:39:44.500><c> of</c><00:39:44.619><c> the</c><00:39:44.739><c> other</c><00:39:45.260><c> for</c><00:39:45.860><c> four</c><00:39:46.320><c> months.</c>

00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:49.139
That's<00:39:47.480><c> how</c><00:39:47.619><c> long</c><00:39:47.739><c> it</c><00:39:47.800><c> took</c><00:39:47.960><c> Ezra</c><00:39:48.340><c> to</c><00:39:48.619><c> make</c><00:39:48.760><c> the</c><00:39:48.960><c> trip.</c>

00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:51.179
Four<00:39:50.119><c> long</c><00:39:50.800><c> months.</c>

00:39:51.300 --> 00:39:53.539
Up<00:39:51.500><c> every</c><00:39:51.820><c> morning,</c><00:39:52.199><c> walk</c><00:39:52.460><c> all</c><00:39:52.739><c> day,</c><00:39:52.960><c> go</c><00:39:53.079><c> to</c><00:39:53.300><c> bed.</c>

00:39:53.920 --> 00:40:00.579
Up<00:39:54.139><c> every</c><00:39:54.400><c> morning</c><00:39:54.880><c> for</c><00:39:55.460><c> four</c><00:39:55.780><c> months</c><00:39:56.380><c> to</c><00:39:57.539><c> go</c><00:39:58.099><c> to</c><00:39:58.900><c> do</c><00:39:59.159><c> God's</c><00:39:59.679><c> work.</c>

00:40:00.900 --> 00:40:05.460
How<00:40:01.059><c> many</c><00:40:01.280><c> of</c><00:40:01.460><c> us</c><00:40:01.739><c> would</c><00:40:02.019><c> find</c><00:40:02.420><c> something</c><00:40:02.760><c> else</c><00:40:03.059><c> to</c><00:40:03.340><c> do</c><00:40:04.039><c> if</c><00:40:04.739><c> that</c><00:40:05.139><c> was</c>

00:40:05.460 --> 00:40:08.440
what<00:40:06.099><c> was</c><00:40:06.860><c> required</c><00:40:07.159><c> of</c><00:40:07.320><c> us?</c>

00:40:09.420 --> 00:40:12.780
Nehemiah<00:40:09.900><c> did</c><00:40:10.079><c> everything</c><00:40:10.460><c> as</c><00:40:10.639><c> if</c><00:40:10.760><c> it</c><00:40:11.000><c> all</c><00:40:11.199><c> depended</c><00:40:11.480><c> upon</c><00:40:11.820><c> him.</c>

00:40:13.139 --> 00:40:15.820
And<00:40:13.260><c> yet,</c><00:40:13.380><c> when</c><00:40:13.500><c> it</c><00:40:13.639><c> went</c><00:40:13.820><c> well,</c><00:40:14.320><c> he</c><00:40:14.500><c> gave</c><00:40:14.659><c> God</c><00:40:14.960><c> the</c><00:40:15.239><c> credit</c>

00:40:15.820 --> 00:40:19.119
for<00:40:16.880><c> having</c><00:40:17.460><c> blessed</c><00:40:18.440><c> his</c><00:40:18.880><c> work.</c>

00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:25.219
Now,<00:40:19.719><c> when</c><00:40:19.820><c> he</c><00:40:19.920><c> gets</c><00:40:20.199><c> there,</c><00:40:22.480><c> you</c><00:40:22.539><c> would</c><00:40:22.800><c> think</c><00:40:23.000><c> that</c><00:40:23.900><c> God</c><00:40:24.239><c> wanted</c><00:40:24.420><c> this</c><00:40:24.699><c> work</c><00:40:24.840><c> done,</c><00:40:25.059><c> you</c>

00:40:25.219 --> 00:40:26.619
know<00:40:25.440><c> that.</c>

00:40:27.019 --> 00:40:30.019
And<00:40:27.260><c> you</c><00:40:27.340><c> would</c><00:40:27.519><c> think</c><00:40:27.719><c> that</c><00:40:28.800><c> things</c><00:40:29.079><c> would</c><00:40:29.280><c> go</c><00:40:29.380><c> really</c><00:40:29.699><c> well.</c>

00:40:30.019 --> 00:40:35.840
I<00:40:30.420><c> mean,</c><00:40:31.300><c> God</c><00:40:31.340><c> had</c><00:40:31.619><c> picked</c><00:40:31.800><c> this</c><00:40:33.639><c> event</c><00:40:34.199><c> to</c><00:40:34.980><c> start</c><00:40:35.340><c> counting</c>

00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:38.599
when<00:40:36.219><c> the</c><00:40:36.639><c> Savior</c><00:40:37.260><c> would</c><00:40:37.519><c> be</c><00:40:37.739><c> born.</c>

00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:41.500
The<00:40:38.940><c> wall</c><00:40:39.320><c> should</c><00:40:39.539><c> be</c><00:40:39.780><c> built</c><00:40:39.960><c> in</c><00:40:40.239><c> troubled</c><00:40:40.480><c> times,</c><00:40:40.980><c> said</c><00:40:41.119><c> Daniel.</c>

00:40:41.559 --> 00:40:45.260
You<00:40:41.780><c> start</c><00:40:42.039><c> counting</c><00:40:42.420><c> then,</c><00:40:42.780><c> and</c><00:40:42.920><c> you'll</c><00:40:43.139><c> know</c><00:40:43.300><c> when</c><00:40:43.559><c> the</c><00:40:43.719><c> Messiah</c><00:40:44.059><c> will</c><00:40:44.300><c> be</c><00:40:44.500><c> born.</c>

00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:48.480
So<00:40:45.840><c> Nehemiah</c><00:40:46.300><c> was</c><00:40:46.559><c> doing</c><00:40:46.840><c> an</c><00:40:47.159><c> important</c><00:40:47.719><c> work</c><00:40:48.059><c> that</c><00:40:48.280><c> needed</c>

00:40:48.480 --> 00:40:49.760
to<00:40:48.659><c> be</c><00:40:48.820><c> done.</c>

00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:50.599
And<00:40:49.860><c> he</c><00:40:50.019><c> arrives.</c>

00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:53.239
Then<00:40:51.059><c> I</c><00:40:51.219><c> came</c><00:40:51.480><c> to</c><00:40:51.639><c> the</c><00:40:51.840><c> governor</c><00:40:52.099><c> beyond</c><00:40:52.480><c> the</c><00:40:52.679><c> river,</c><00:40:52.920><c> verse</c>

00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:55.260
9,<00:40:53.679><c> and</c><00:40:53.800><c> gave</c><00:40:54.059><c> them</c><00:40:54.320><c> the</c><00:40:54.539><c> king's</c><00:40:54.940><c> letters.</c>

00:40:55.260 --> 00:41:00.239
Now,<00:40:56.679><c> the</c><00:40:56.800><c> king</c><00:40:56.960><c> gets</c><00:40:57.199><c> the</c><00:40:57.400><c> captains</c><00:40:58.159><c> of</c><00:40:58.539><c> the</c><00:40:58.699><c> army</c><00:40:58.940><c> and</c><00:40:59.139><c> horsemen</c><00:40:59.480><c> with</c><00:40:59.699><c> me.</c>

00:41:00.539 --> 00:41:04.199
And<00:41:00.679><c> if</c><00:41:00.840><c> we</c><00:41:01.019><c> check</c><00:41:01.239><c> that</c><00:41:01.539><c> out,</c><00:41:01.780><c> you'll</c><00:41:01.960><c> see</c><00:41:02.159><c> that</c><00:41:02.920><c> Ezra,</c><00:41:03.179><c> he</c><00:41:03.300><c> was</c><00:41:03.519><c> ashamed</c><00:41:03.900><c> to</c>

00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:05.460
ask<00:41:04.519><c> for</c><00:41:05.079><c> all</c><00:41:05.300><c> this.</c>

00:41:05.619 --> 00:41:09.500
