00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.259
and<00:16:41.059><c> it</c><00:16:41.139><c> comes</c><00:16:41.279><c> from</c><00:16:41.480><c> a</c><00:16:41.720><c> root</c><00:16:41.960><c> word</c><00:16:42.419><c> meaning</c><00:16:42.940><c> to</c><00:16:43.600><c> amass,</c>

00:16:47.899 --> 00:16:52.019
And<00:16:48.159><c> then</c><00:16:48.259><c> you</c><00:16:48.360><c> look</c><00:16:48.480><c> at</c><00:16:48.659><c> the</c><00:16:48.899><c> heart,</c><00:16:49.399><c> and</c><00:16:49.600><c> you</c><00:16:49.879><c> see</c><00:16:50.379><c> that</c><00:16:51.120><c> it</c><00:16:51.379><c> comes</c><00:16:51.600><c> from</c><00:16:51.799><c> a</c>

00:16:52.019 --> 00:16:52.480
root<00:16:52.220><c> word</c>

00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:55.659
meaning<00:16:52.799><c> anything</c><00:16:53.320><c> strong,</c><00:16:54.299><c> a</c><00:16:54.440><c> chief,</c><00:16:55.179><c> politically,</c>

00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:05.259
And<00:16:59.639><c> it's</c><00:16:59.679><c> where</c><00:16:59.820><c> we</c><00:16:59.980><c> get</c><00:17:00.179><c> our</c><00:17:00.440><c> word</c><00:17:00.720><c> El,</c><00:17:02.820><c> a</c><00:17:03.059><c> name</c><00:17:03.279><c> of</c><00:17:03.600><c> God</c><00:17:03.860><c> from</c><00:17:04.299><c> also.</c>

00:17:05.500 --> 00:17:06.960
So<00:17:05.700><c> it's</c><00:17:06.400><c> kind</c><00:17:06.559><c> of</c><00:17:06.740><c> curious.</c>

00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.240
So<00:17:07.140><c> let's</c><00:17:07.299><c> put</c><00:17:07.519><c> these</c><00:17:07.799><c> things</c><00:17:08.039><c> together</c><00:17:08.640><c> and</c><00:17:09.380><c> see</c><00:17:09.640><c> how</c><00:17:09.880><c> these</c>

00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:21.339
So<00:17:16.819><c> first</c><00:17:17.119><c> of</c><00:17:17.380><c> which,</c><00:17:18.400><c> Jesus</c><00:17:18.859><c> Christ</c><00:17:19.339><c> is</c><00:17:19.599><c> known</c><00:17:19.819><c> for</c><00:17:20.039><c> his</c><00:17:20.339><c> grace,</c><00:17:20.819><c> isn't</c><00:17:21.019><c> he?</c>

00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:29.140
And<00:17:25.700><c> so</c><00:17:25.940><c> this</c><00:17:26.160><c> is</c><00:17:26.339><c> what</c><00:17:26.480><c> we</c><00:17:26.660><c> read</c><00:17:26.819><c> in</c><00:17:27.019><c> John</c><00:17:27.440><c> 1</c><00:17:27.900><c> and</c><00:17:28.039><c> verse</c><00:17:28.299><c> 14,</c>

where<00:17:30.180><c> he</c><00:17:30.339><c> says</c><00:17:30.880><c> that</c><00:17:31.539><c> the</c><00:17:31.680><c> word</c><00:17:32.059><c> was</c><00:17:32.259><c> made</c><00:17:32.519><c> flesh</c><00:17:32.880><c> and</c><00:17:33.140><c> dwelt</c>

00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:44.779
Well,<00:17:43.500><c> that</c><00:17:43.740><c> fits,</c><00:17:44.180><c> doesn't</c><00:17:44.299><c> it?</c>

00:17:45.019 --> 00:17:48.980
Or<00:17:45.180><c> in</c><00:17:45.420><c> 2</c><00:17:45.579><c> Corinthians</c><00:17:46.079><c> 10</c><00:17:46.480><c> and</c><00:17:46.700><c> verse</c><00:17:46.980><c> 1,</c><00:17:47.859><c> this</c><00:17:48.059><c> is</c><00:17:48.200><c> what</c><00:17:48.339><c> Paul</c><00:17:48.640><c> says,</c>

00:17:49.059 --> 00:17:52.539

00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:58.380
So<00:17:54.720><c> it's</c><00:17:54.880><c> like</c><00:17:55.059><c> a</c><00:17:55.279><c> row</c><00:17:55.400><c> of</c><00:17:55.519><c> young</c><00:17:55.680><c> hearts.</c><00:17:57.400><c> He's</c><00:17:57.880><c> gentle.</c>

00:17:58.740 --> 00:18:02.160
He's<00:17:59.019><c> beautiful.</c><00:18:00.119><c> He's</c><00:18:00.460><c> graceful.</c>

00:18:02.460 --> 00:18:06.180
And<00:18:02.619><c> Jesus</c><00:18:03.220><c> is</c><00:18:03.480><c> going</c><00:18:03.579><c> to</c><00:18:03.640><c> be</c><00:18:03.819><c> known</c><00:18:04.039><c> for</c><00:18:04.299><c> his</c><00:18:04.759><c> speed</c><00:18:05.059><c> in</c><00:18:05.299><c> pursuing</c><00:18:05.599><c> the</c><00:18:05.940><c> enemy</c>

00:18:19.059 --> 00:18:20.700
Thou<00:18:19.259><c> shalt</c><00:18:19.460><c> break</c><00:18:19.740><c> them</c><00:18:19.880><c> with</c><00:18:20.019><c> a</c><00:18:20.180><c> rod</c><00:18:20.279><c> of</c><00:18:20.519><c> iron.</c>

00:18:20.700 --> 00:18:24.519

00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:57.799
And<00:27:55.200><c> when</c><00:27:55.420><c> the</c><00:27:55.660><c> man</c><00:27:55.839><c> was</c><00:27:56.079><c> let</c><00:27:56.339><c> down</c><00:27:56.660><c> and</c><00:27:56.940><c> touched</c><00:27:57.299><c> the</c><00:27:57.559><c> bones</c>

00:29:10.329 --> 00:29:15.130
You<00:29:11.230><c> look</c><00:29:11.450><c> at</c><00:29:11.670><c> the</c><00:29:11.970><c> Hebrew</c><00:29:12.390><c> word,</c><00:29:13.529><c> it's</c><00:29:13.809><c> translated</c><00:29:14.329><c> as</c><00:29:14.829><c> take</c>

00:29:27.190 --> 00:29:32.490
But<00:29:27.349><c> you</c><00:29:27.869><c> turn</c><00:29:28.170><c> to</c><00:29:28.410><c> 1</c><00:29:28.690><c> Thessalonians</c><00:29:29.410><c> chapter</c><00:29:29.809><c> 4</c><00:29:30.170><c> in</c><00:29:30.309><c> verse</c><00:29:30.529><c> 14,</c><00:29:31.789><c> and</c><00:29:31.950><c> you</c><00:29:32.069><c> see</c><00:29:32.210><c> it</c>

00:29:40.329 --> 00:29:44.309
The<00:29:40.329><c> true</c><00:29:40.410><c> Jesus</c><00:29:40.849><c> will</c><00:29:41.250><c> lead</c><00:29:41.630><c> forth</c><00:29:42.210><c> with</c><00:29:42.730><c> him</c><00:29:43.630><c> those</c><00:29:44.069><c> who</c>

00:29:46.089 --> 00:29:50.289
But<00:29:46.329><c> lead</c><00:29:46.609><c> forth,</c><00:29:48.230><c> or</c><00:29:48.569><c> in</c><00:29:48.789><c> verse</c><00:29:49.009><c> 17,</c>

00:29:50.650 --> 00:29:54.349
Then<00:29:51.349><c> we</c><00:29:51.710><c> which</c><00:29:51.950><c> are</c><00:29:52.130><c> alive</c><00:29:52.490><c> and</c><00:29:52.730><c> remain</c><00:29:53.089><c> shall</c><00:29:53.309><c> be</c><00:29:53.930><c> caught</c><00:29:54.150><c> up</c>

00:29:58.269 --> 00:30:03.130
So<00:29:58.589><c> these</c><00:29:58.910><c> are</c><00:29:59.230><c> allusions</c><00:29:59.650><c> to</c><00:30:00.470><c> the</c><00:30:00.849><c> resurrection</c><00:30:01.549><c> themselves.</c>

00:30:04.170 --> 00:30:10.730

00:36:32.829 --> 00:36:37.050
since<00:36:33.070><c> the</c><00:36:33.429><c> creation</c><00:36:33.789><c> of</c><00:36:33.989><c> the</c><00:36:34.230><c> world</c><00:36:34.710><c> are</c><00:36:35.550><c> clearly</c><00:36:36.190><c> seen,</c>

00:36:48.590 --> 00:36:52.309
So<00:36:48.809><c> the</c><00:36:48.809><c> reality</c><00:36:49.130><c> is</c><00:36:49.550><c> the</c><00:36:49.829><c> invisible</c><00:36:50.429><c> things</c><00:36:51.150><c> from</c><00:36:51.530><c> the</c><00:36:51.730><c> creation</c><00:36:52.110><c> of</c>

00:36:55.369 --> 00:36:57.969
We<00:36:55.630><c> see</c><00:36:55.829><c> it</c><00:36:55.969><c> in</c><00:36:56.050><c> the</c><00:36:56.190><c> illustration</c><00:36:56.750><c> of</c><00:36:57.090><c> spring.</c>

00:36:58.489 --> 00:37:00.769
There's<00:36:58.969><c> a</c><00:36:59.230><c> spring</c><00:36:59.449><c> and</c><00:36:59.630><c> the</c><00:36:59.809><c> bud</c><00:36:59.929><c> pops</c><00:37:00.329><c> forth</c>

00:37:00.769 --> 00:37:04.889

00:37:04.909 --> 00:37:07.309
So<00:37:05.429><c> will</c><00:37:05.730><c> the</c><00:37:05.889><c> resurrection</c><00:37:06.329><c> be.</c>

00:37:07.409 --> 00:37:10.050
How<00:37:07.849><c> marvelous</c><00:37:08.230><c> is</c><00:37:08.429><c> the</c><00:37:08.630><c> wisdom</c><00:37:08.949><c> of</c><00:37:09.289><c> God.</c>

00:37:10.570 --> 00:37:13.130
It's<00:37:10.730><c> the</c><00:37:10.989><c> invisible</c><00:37:11.369><c> things</c><00:37:11.909><c> of</c><00:37:12.570><c> faith,</c>

The<00:37:38.309><c> budding</c><00:37:38.550><c> is</c><00:37:38.750><c> the</c><00:37:39.030><c> resuscitation</c><00:37:39.829><c> of</c><00:37:40.090><c> life</c><00:37:40.269><c> by</c><00:37:40.530><c> divine</c><00:37:40.869><c> power.</c>

00:37:41.809 --> 00:37:47.389
You<00:37:41.989><c> might</c><00:37:42.309><c> remember</c><00:37:43.269><c> Moses'</c><00:37:46.210><c> rod</c><00:37:46.550><c> that</c><00:37:46.989><c> budded.</c>

00:47:04.949 --> 00:47:07.670
So<00:47:05.070><c> in</c><00:47:05.250><c> conclusion</c><00:47:05.889><c> brothers</c><00:47:06.269><c> and</c><00:47:06.570><c> sisters</c>

00:47:08.150 --> 00:47:12.309
we<00:47:08.710><c> see</c><00:47:09.389><c> the</c><00:47:09.829><c> signs</c><00:47:10.190><c> of</c><00:47:10.550><c> Christ's</c><00:47:12.130><c> coming</c>

00:47:20.230 --> 00:47:23.789
Let<00:47:20.389><c> us</c><00:47:20.570><c> beware</c><00:47:21.550><c> of</c><00:47:22.150><c> becoming</c><00:47:22.630><c> insensitive</c>

00:47:23.789 --> 00:47:27.389
to<00:47:24.050><c> this</c><00:47:24.469><c> voice</c><00:47:24.909><c> of</c><00:47:25.170><c> this</c><00:47:25.469><c> row</c><00:47:25.710><c> or</c><00:47:26.010><c> young</c><00:47:26.210><c> heart</c>

00:47:28.010 --> 00:47:31.269
in<00:47:28.530><c> senses</c><00:47:28.829><c> that</c><00:47:29.090><c> the</c><00:47:29.369><c> signs</c><00:47:29.590><c> of</c><00:47:29.750><c> him</c><00:47:30.010><c> leaping</c><00:47:30.409><c> upon</c><00:47:30.650><c> the</c><00:47:30.889><c> mountains</c>

00:47:31.269 --> 00:47:33.289
and<00:47:31.630><c> skipping</c><00:47:31.869><c> upon</c><00:47:32.250><c> the</c><00:47:32.489><c> hills</c>

00:47:33.329 --> 00:47:38.449
lest<00:47:33.849><c> we</c><00:47:34.230><c> slumber</c><00:47:34.690><c> and</c><00:47:35.030><c> fail</c><00:47:35.230><c> to</c><00:47:35.449><c> make</c><00:47:35.869><c> preparations</c><00:47:36.510><c> to</c><00:47:36.829><c> meet</c><00:47:36.969><c> him.</c>

00:47:39.070 --> 00:47:40.090
Now<00:47:39.230><c> if</c><00:47:39.289><c> we</c><00:47:39.469><c> had</c><00:47:39.590><c> our</c><00:47:39.809><c> way</c>

00:47:40.090 --> 00:47:44.210
Jesus<00:47:40.670><c> Christ</c><00:47:41.050><c> would</c><00:47:41.210><c> be</c><00:47:41.429><c> here</c><00:47:41.590><c> this</c><00:47:41.929><c> very</c><00:47:42.190><c> moment.</c>

00:47:44.849 --> 00:47:47.170
This<00:47:45.070><c> way</c><00:47:45.210><c> would</c><00:47:45.389><c> spare</c><00:47:45.630><c> you</c><00:47:45.909><c> for</c><00:47:46.150><c> hearing</c><00:47:46.329><c> any</c><00:47:46.550><c> more</c><00:47:46.809><c> classes</c>

00:47:47.170 --> 00:47:48.329
this<00:47:47.409><c> weekend.</c>

00:47:48.829 --> 00:47:50.849
But<00:47:49.230><c> he'd</c><00:47:49.469><c> be</c><00:47:49.730><c> here.</c>

00:47:51.510 --> 00:47:53.349
But<00:47:51.710><c> you</c><00:47:51.829><c> know</c><00:47:52.010><c> we're</c><00:47:52.190><c> working</c><00:47:52.409><c> on</c><00:47:52.789><c> time.</c>

00:47:53.349 --> 00:47:55.690
God's<00:47:54.250><c> time</c><00:47:54.570><c> schedule.</c>

00:47:56.650 --> 00:47:57.889
And<00:47:56.650><c> as</c><00:47:56.989><c> much</c><00:47:57.150><c> as</c><00:47:57.349><c> we'd</c><00:47:57.670><c> want</c>

00:47:57.889 --> 00:47:58.969
and<00:47:58.110><c> as</c><00:47:58.269><c> much</c><00:47:58.269><c> as</c><00:47:58.449><c> we</c><00:47:58.590><c> desire</c>

00:47:58.969 --> 00:48:00.369
as<00:47:59.130><c> much</c><00:47:59.349><c> as</c><00:47:59.570><c> our</c><00:47:59.670><c> heart</c><00:47:59.949><c> burns</c>

00:48:00.369 --> 00:48:03.130
as<00:48:00.610><c> much</c><00:48:00.869><c> as</c><00:48:01.170><c> we</c><00:48:01.710><c> have</c><00:48:02.050><c> our</c><00:48:02.349><c> hope</c><00:48:02.570><c> deferred</c>

00:48:03.130 --> 00:48:04.309
that<00:48:03.289><c> makes</c><00:48:03.489><c> the</c><00:48:03.690><c> heart</c><00:48:03.869><c> sick</c>

00:48:04.309 --> 00:48:07.130
we<00:48:05.190><c> have</c><00:48:05.510><c> to</c><00:48:05.670><c> wait</c><00:48:05.869><c> for</c><00:48:06.110><c> him.</c>

00:48:07.949 --> 00:48:11.050
But<00:48:08.170><c> each</c><00:48:08.510><c> day</c><00:48:08.769><c> is</c><00:48:09.030><c> a</c><00:48:09.210><c> bundle</c><00:48:09.510><c> of</c><00:48:09.849><c> opportunity</c>

00:48:11.510 --> 00:48:14.690
because<00:48:12.070><c> the</c><00:48:12.329><c> long</c><00:48:12.570><c> suffering</c><00:48:12.929><c> of</c><00:48:13.250><c> our</c><00:48:13.510><c> God</c><00:48:13.789><c> is</c><00:48:14.050><c> salvation</c>

00:48:14.690 --> 00:48:15.969
we're<00:48:15.050><c> told.</c>

00:48:16.130 --> 00:48:18.110
And<00:48:16.369><c> he's</c><00:48:16.570><c> not</c><00:48:16.809><c> willing</c><00:48:17.030><c> that</c><00:48:17.309><c> any</c><00:48:17.510><c> should</c><00:48:17.750><c> perish</c>

00:48:18.110 --> 00:48:20.630
but<00:48:18.570><c> all</c><00:48:18.849><c> would</c><00:48:19.070><c> come</c><00:48:19.349><c> to</c><00:48:19.590><c> repentance.</c>

00:48:21.030 --> 00:48:25.170
That<00:48:21.329><c> we</c><00:48:21.510><c> know</c><00:48:21.949><c> that</c><00:48:22.230><c> Paul</c><00:48:22.469><c> says</c><00:48:22.909><c> that</c><00:48:23.210><c> this</c><00:48:23.449><c> is</c><00:48:23.750><c> the</c><00:48:24.190><c> accepted</c><00:48:24.710><c> time</c>

00:48:25.170 --> 00:48:27.250
this<00:48:25.469><c> is</c><00:48:25.730><c> the</c><00:48:26.030><c> day</c><00:48:26.349><c> of</c><00:48:26.590><c> salvation</c>

00:48:27.250 --> 00:48:29.309
what<00:48:27.510><c> we're</c><00:48:27.710><c> doing</c><00:48:27.869><c> right</c><00:48:28.210><c> now.</c>

00:48:29.949 --> 00:48:31.829
And<00:48:30.110><c> let</c><00:48:30.210><c> our</c><00:48:30.449><c> approach</c><00:48:30.809><c> then</c>

approach<00:48:32.550><c> our</c><00:48:32.829><c> Lord</c><00:48:32.989><c> then</c>

00:48:37.989 --> 00:48:39.269
because<00:48:38.349><c> he</c><00:48:38.530><c> is</c><00:48:38.670><c> like</c><00:48:38.889><c> a</c><00:48:39.070><c> row</c>

00:48:39.269 --> 00:48:41.130

00:48:41.130 --> 00:48:43.849
he<00:48:42.230><c> standeth</c><00:48:42.610><c> behind</c><00:48:43.150><c> our</c><00:48:43.570><c> wall</c>

00:48:43.849 --> 00:48:45.369
he<00:48:44.130><c> looketh</c><00:48:44.489><c> forth</c><00:48:44.690><c> through</c><00:48:44.929><c> the</c><00:48:45.110><c> windows</c>

00:48:47.969 --> 00:48:49.829
And<00:48:48.329><c> then</c><00:48:48.630><c> may</c><00:48:48.769><c> it</c><00:48:48.969><c> be</c><00:48:49.250><c> then</c>
