Good<00:00:09.720><c> morning,</c><00:00:23.839><c> my</c><00:00:23.879><c> beloved</c><00:00:24.239><c> brethren</c><00:00:24.519><c> and</c><00:00:24.780><c> sisters.</c>

00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.420
It<00:00:28.300><c> is</c><00:00:29.199><c> a</c><00:00:29.300><c> good</c><00:00:29.519><c> morning.</c>

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:37.259
Yea,<00:00:32.759><c> all</c><00:00:33.159><c> that</c><00:00:33.359><c> will</c><00:00:33.600><c> live</c><00:00:33.840><c> godly</c><00:00:34.200><c> in</c><00:00:34.420><c> Christ</c><00:00:34.799><c> Jesus</c><00:00:35.700><c> shall</c>

00:00:37.259 --> 00:00:39.560
suffer<00:00:37.979><c> persecution.</c>

00:00:40.659 --> 00:00:46.799
But<00:00:41.020><c> evil</c><00:00:41.420><c> men</c><00:00:41.820><c> and</c><00:00:42.060><c> seducers</c><00:00:42.640><c> shall</c><00:00:42.960><c> wax</c><00:00:43.420><c> worse</c><00:00:44.460><c> and</c><00:00:45.420><c> worse,</c>

00:00:47.299 --> 00:00:49.960
deceiving<00:00:47.700><c> and</c><00:00:48.259><c> being</c><00:00:48.700><c> deceived.</c>

00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:53.399
But<00:00:50.880><c> continue</c><00:00:51.399><c> thou</c><00:00:51.659><c> in</c><00:00:51.820><c> the</c><00:00:51.979><c> things</c><00:00:52.140><c> which</c><00:00:52.340><c> thou</c><00:00:52.539><c> hast</c><00:00:52.820><c> learned,</c><00:00:53.320><c> and</c>

00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.100
hast<00:00:53.600><c> been</c><00:00:53.780><c> assured</c><00:00:54.159><c> of</c><00:00:54.320><c> knowing</c><00:00:54.859><c> of</c><00:00:55.100><c> them</c><00:00:55.399><c> of</c><00:00:55.740><c> whom</c><00:00:55.920><c> thou</c>

00:00:56.100 --> 00:00:57.619
hast<00:00:56.320><c> learned</c><00:00:56.560><c> them.</c>

00:00:57.859 --> 00:01:03.219
In<00:00:57.960><c> other</c><00:00:58.039><c> words,</c><00:00:58.939><c> we're</c><00:00:59.200><c> going</c><00:00:59.259><c> to</c><00:00:59.320><c> have</c><00:00:59.479><c> troubles,</c><00:01:01.039><c> but</c><00:01:01.340><c> just</c><00:01:01.899><c> remember</c><00:01:02.340><c> what</c><00:01:02.560><c> you've</c><00:01:02.899><c> learned</c><00:01:03.079><c> and</c>

where<00:01:03.380><c> you've</c><00:01:03.600><c> learned</c><00:01:03.780><c> it.</c>

00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.140
Why?<00:01:04.420><c> Because</c><00:01:04.719><c> all</c><00:01:05.180><c> scripture</c><00:01:05.680><c> is</c><00:01:06.099><c> given</c><00:01:06.299><c> by</c><00:01:06.519><c> inspiration</c><00:01:06.959><c> of</c>

00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:10.840
God<00:01:07.540><c> and</c><00:01:07.700><c> is</c><00:01:07.980><c> profitable</c><00:01:08.359><c> for</c><00:01:08.680><c> doctrine,</c><00:01:09.840><c> for</c><00:01:09.920><c> reproof,</c><00:01:10.599><c> for</c>

00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.959
correction,<00:01:11.299><c> for</c><00:01:11.459><c> instruction</c><00:01:11.799><c> in</c><00:01:12.019><c> righteousness.</c>

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.299
That's<00:01:15.519><c> what</c><00:01:15.659><c> we're</c><00:01:15.859><c> doing.</c>

00:01:16.299 --> 00:01:20.500
We're<00:01:17.340><c> studying</c><00:01:17.700><c> the</c><00:01:17.959><c> scriptures</c><00:01:18.540><c> so</c><00:01:19.480><c> that</c><00:01:19.620><c> we</c><00:01:19.719><c> may</c><00:01:19.959><c> be</c><00:01:20.140><c> this</c>

00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:26.719
man<00:01:20.680><c> of</c><00:01:20.939><c> God,</c><00:01:23.260><c> and</c><00:01:23.400><c> we</c><00:01:23.540><c> may</c><00:01:23.819><c> be</c><00:01:24.099><c> complete,</c><00:01:25.920><c> furnished</c><00:01:26.340><c> unto</c>

00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:28.099
all<00:01:26.939><c> good</c><00:01:27.159><c> works.</c>

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:34.040
So,<00:01:30.120><c> as</c><00:01:30.340><c> we</c><00:01:30.439><c> go</c><00:01:30.640><c> back</c><00:01:30.879><c> to</c><00:01:31.040><c> the</c><00:01:31.099><c> book</c><00:01:31.319><c> of</c><00:01:31.480><c> Nehemiah,</c><00:01:33.000><c> we</c><00:01:33.200><c> find</c><00:01:33.560><c> that</c><00:01:33.799><c> he</c>

00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.980

00:01:38.980 --> 00:01:44.159
men<00:01:39.379><c> did</c><00:01:40.340><c> increase</c><00:01:41.480><c> and</c><00:01:42.439><c> abound</c><00:01:42.840><c> in</c><00:01:43.019><c> his</c><00:01:43.299><c> day.</c>

00:01:45.939 --> 00:01:48.959
They<00:01:46.620><c> made</c><00:01:46.959><c> fun</c><00:01:47.180><c> of</c><00:01:47.340><c> him.</c>

00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:51.840
Have<00:01:49.980><c> you</c><00:01:50.000><c> ever</c><00:01:50.159><c> been</c><00:01:50.280><c> made</c><00:01:50.620><c> fun</c><00:01:50.799><c> of?</c>

00:01:52.299 --> 00:01:56.159
What<00:01:52.840><c> do</c><00:01:53.140><c> these</c><00:01:53.819><c> feeble</c><00:01:54.500><c> Jews</c><00:01:55.379><c> do?</c>

00:01:56.500 --> 00:02:01.079
When<00:01:56.799><c> Sambalat,</c><00:01:58.659><c> the</c><00:01:58.900><c> Horonite,</c><00:01:59.439><c> and</c><00:01:59.560><c> Tobiah</c><00:01:59.980><c> the</c><00:02:00.299><c> servant,</c>

00:02:04.819 --> 00:02:06.780
laughed<00:02:05.180><c> us</c><00:02:05.540><c> to</c><00:02:05.920><c> scorn.</c>

00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.879
What<00:02:07.819><c> is</c><00:02:08.139><c> this</c><00:02:08.419><c> thing</c><00:02:08.639><c> that</c><00:02:08.900><c> you</c><00:02:09.159><c> do?</c>

00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:13.439
Well,<00:02:10.860><c> you</c><00:02:11.099><c> rebel</c><00:02:11.479><c> against</c><00:02:11.919><c> the</c><00:02:12.240><c> king.</c>

00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:18.460
Who<00:02:15.080><c> do</c><00:02:15.300><c> you</c><00:02:15.560><c> think</c><00:02:15.780><c> you</c><00:02:16.180><c> are,</c><00:02:16.500><c> you</c><00:02:16.840><c> feeble</c><00:02:17.340><c> Jews?</c>

00:02:24.620 --> 00:02:28.900
How<00:02:25.139><c> can</c><00:02:25.439><c> you</c><00:02:25.659><c> be</c><00:02:26.099><c> right?</c><00:02:26.580><c> There</c><00:02:26.719><c> are</c><00:02:26.719><c> so</c><00:02:27.240><c> many</c><00:02:27.539><c> of</c><00:02:27.900><c> us.</c>

00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:33.060
You're<00:02:29.800><c> a</c><00:02:29.939><c> Christadelphian</c><00:02:30.539><c> and</c><00:02:30.659><c> you</c><00:02:30.860><c> think</c><00:02:31.000><c> you're</c><00:02:31.219><c> the</c><00:02:31.419><c> only</c><00:02:31.699><c> ones?</c><00:02:32.680><c> Ho,</c>

Are<00:02:40.879><c> you</c><00:02:41.060><c> ashamed</c><00:02:41.800><c> of</c><00:02:42.020><c> the</c><00:02:42.219><c> gospel</c><00:02:42.719><c> of</c><00:02:42.939><c> Christ?</c>

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:51.379
What<00:02:45.740><c> was</c><00:02:46.060><c> Nehemiah's</c><00:02:47.199><c> answer</c><00:02:47.759><c> to</c><00:02:48.719><c> those</c><00:02:49.219><c> who</c><00:02:49.460><c> made</c><00:02:49.780><c> fun</c><00:02:50.060><c> of</c><00:02:50.219><c> him?</c>

00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:56.780
We're<00:02:52.099><c> looking</c><00:02:52.400><c> at</c><00:02:52.659><c> Nehemiah</c><00:02:53.340><c> chapter</c><00:02:53.780><c> 2</c><00:02:54.520><c> in</c><00:02:55.000><c> the</c><00:02:55.060><c> last</c><00:02:55.560><c> verse.</c>

00:02:57.060 --> 00:03:01.219
The<00:02:57.819><c> God</c><00:02:58.199><c> of</c><00:02:58.439><c> heaven,</c><00:02:59.099><c> he</c><00:02:59.099><c> will</c><00:02:59.319><c> prosper</c><00:02:59.800><c> us.</c>

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.439
Therefore,<00:03:01.900><c> we</c><00:03:02.139><c> his</c><00:03:02.460><c> servants</c><00:03:02.780><c> will</c><00:03:03.340><c> arise</c><00:03:03.879><c> and</c><00:03:04.319><c> build.</c>

We<00:03:06.180><c> can</c><00:03:06.460><c> do</c><00:03:06.699><c> it.</c>

00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:16.719
But<00:03:08.759><c> ye</c><00:03:09.280><c> have</c><00:03:09.699><c> no</c><00:03:10.180><c> portion,</c><00:03:11.699><c> nor</c><00:03:12.259><c> right,</c><00:03:13.099><c> nor</c><00:03:13.360><c> memorial,</c><00:03:14.979><c> in</c><00:03:15.400><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:20.939
We<00:03:17.740><c> might</c><00:03:18.039><c> think,</c><00:03:18.419><c> oh,</c><00:03:18.860><c> Nehemiah,</c><00:03:19.400><c> you're</c><00:03:19.599><c> being</c><00:03:19.979><c> kind</c><00:03:20.280><c> of</c><00:03:20.539><c> hard</c><00:03:20.740><c> on</c>

And<00:06:03.579><c> Nehemiah</c><00:06:03.959><c> is</c><00:06:04.279><c> expressing</c><00:06:04.639><c> that</c><00:06:05.220><c> right</c><00:06:05.759><c> here</c>

00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.860
and<00:06:06.540><c> we</c><00:06:06.699><c> want</c><00:06:06.879><c> to</c><00:06:07.040><c> learn</c><00:06:07.160><c> the</c><00:06:07.399><c> lesson</c><00:06:07.680><c> and</c><00:06:07.959><c> never</c><00:06:08.240><c> forget</c><00:06:08.600><c> it.</c>

00:06:08.860 --> 00:06:13.439
The<00:06:09.639><c> same</c><00:06:09.879><c> thing</c><00:06:10.100><c> happened</c><00:06:10.680><c> in</c><00:06:11.939><c> Ezra's</c><00:06:12.420><c> day.</c>

00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:17.600
Because<00:06:14.100><c> in</c><00:06:14.360><c> Ezra</c><00:06:14.579><c> chapter</c><00:06:14.959><c> 4,</c><00:06:16.399><c> they</c><00:06:16.620><c> even</c><00:06:16.939><c> wanted</c><00:06:17.100><c> to</c><00:06:17.399><c> join</c>

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:18.899

00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.360
And<00:06:19.319><c> they</c><00:06:19.540><c> said,</c><00:06:20.079><c> let</c><00:06:20.279><c> us</c><00:06:20.560><c> build</c><00:06:20.800><c> with</c><00:06:21.180><c> you.</c>

00:06:21.379 --> 00:06:23.220
This<00:06:21.560><c> is</c><00:06:21.740><c> Ezra</c><00:06:22.019><c> 4</c><00:06:22.300><c> and</c><00:06:22.420><c> verse</c><00:06:22.699><c> 2.</c>

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:28.579
For<00:06:23.660><c> we</c><00:06:24.839><c> seek</c><00:06:25.120><c> your</c><00:06:25.399><c> God</c><00:06:25.759><c> as</c><00:06:26.019><c> you</c><00:06:26.279><c> do,</c><00:06:27.120><c> we</c><00:06:27.379><c> do</c><00:06:27.579><c> sacrifice</c><00:06:28.279><c> under</c>

him,<00:06:29.240><c> let</c><00:06:29.500><c> us</c><00:06:29.800><c> help</c><00:06:30.100><c> you.</c>

00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:33.439
And<00:06:32.120><c> what</c><00:06:32.240><c> was</c><00:06:32.579><c> Ezra's</c><00:06:33.199><c> answer?</c>

00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:40.339
He<00:06:33.699><c> has</c><00:06:34.019><c> nothing</c><00:06:34.459><c> to</c><00:06:34.699><c> do</c><00:06:34.800><c> with</c><00:06:35.040><c> us</c><00:06:36.300><c> to</c><00:06:36.699><c> build</c><00:06:36.899><c> a</c><00:06:37.160><c> house</c><00:06:37.779><c> to</c><00:06:39.060><c> our</c><00:06:39.360><c> God.</c>

00:06:41.259 --> 00:06:45.000
So<00:06:41.459><c> we</c><00:06:41.740><c> cannot</c><00:06:42.300><c> join</c><00:06:42.899><c> in</c><00:06:43.300><c> with</c><00:06:43.620><c> the</c><00:06:43.959><c> enemies</c><00:06:44.279><c> of</c><00:06:44.500><c> the</c><00:06:44.639><c> Lord,</c>

00:06:50.180 --> 00:06:55.339
We<00:06:50.379><c> just</c><00:06:50.680><c> cannot</c><00:06:50.939><c> be</c><00:06:51.360><c> linked</c><00:06:52.300><c> together</c><00:06:53.420><c> with</c><00:06:54.259><c> unbelievers</c><00:06:55.120><c> in</c>

00:07:02.339 --> 00:07:05.379
Sandblatt,<00:07:03.079><c> the</c><00:07:03.319><c> Horonite.</c>

00:07:06.779 --> 00:07:10.759
And<00:07:07.000><c> Aramaic</c><00:07:07.680><c> Papyrus</c><00:07:08.360><c> identifies</c><00:07:09.040><c> him</c><00:07:09.259><c> as</c><00:07:09.420><c> the</c><00:07:09.740><c> governor</c><00:07:10.100><c> of</c><00:07:10.399><c> Samaria.</c>

00:07:10.980 --> 00:07:14.519
He<00:07:11.100><c> had</c><00:07:11.399><c> an</c><00:07:11.699><c> army.</c><00:07:12.000><c> He</c><00:07:12.120><c> was</c><00:07:12.399><c> a</c><00:07:12.579><c> powerful</c><00:07:13.199><c> man.</c>

00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.259
Tobiah<00:07:16.319><c> was</c><00:07:16.579><c> an</c><00:07:16.779><c> Ammonite.</c>

00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.879
The<00:07:17.620><c> Ammonites</c><00:07:18.100><c> descended</c><00:07:18.620><c> from</c><00:07:19.019><c> Lot.</c>

00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:24.079
And<00:07:20.100><c> they</c><00:07:20.180><c> were</c><00:07:20.459><c> almost</c><00:07:20.819><c> always</c><00:07:21.259><c> the</c><00:07:21.579><c> bitter</c><00:07:21.899><c> enemies</c><00:07:22.360><c> of</c><00:07:22.579><c> the</c><00:07:22.839><c> Jews.</c>

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:26.160
Gishim<00:07:25.139><c> was</c><00:07:25.379><c> an</c><00:07:25.680><c> Arabian.</c>

00:07:26.180 --> 00:07:28.860
He<00:07:26.259><c> was</c><00:07:26.439><c> probably</c><00:07:26.740><c> a</c><00:07:27.019><c> chief</c><00:07:27.220><c> of</c><00:07:27.379><c> an</c><00:07:27.579><c> Arabian</c><00:07:28.160><c> tribe.</c>

00:07:28.860 --> 00:07:33.579
And<00:07:29.800><c> although</c><00:07:30.160><c> these</c><00:07:30.600><c> may</c><00:07:30.959><c> not</c><00:07:31.199><c> have</c><00:07:31.439><c> been</c><00:07:32.100><c> natural</c><00:07:32.860><c> friends,</c>

00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.740
because<00:07:34.379><c> they</c><00:07:34.519><c> had</c><00:07:34.740><c> an</c><00:07:35.079><c> enemy,</c><00:07:35.480><c> which</c><00:07:35.620><c> they</c><00:07:35.959><c> all</c><00:07:36.360><c> considered</c>

an<00:07:36.980><c> enemy,</c>

00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.779

against<00:07:40.199><c> Christ.</c>

00:07:41.980 --> 00:07:44.360
Just<00:07:42.339><c> as</c><00:07:42.560><c> they</c><00:07:42.699><c> will</c><00:07:42.860><c> against</c><00:07:43.240><c> us.</c>

00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.139
You<00:07:44.899><c> will</c><00:07:45.180><c> find</c><00:07:45.459><c> members</c><00:07:45.939><c> of</c><00:07:46.199><c> other</c><00:07:46.439><c> churches</c><00:07:47.000><c> binding</c><00:07:47.459><c> together,</c><00:07:47.920><c> even</c>

00:07:52.779 --> 00:08:01.819
Because<00:07:53.300><c> they</c><00:07:53.600><c> do</c><00:07:53.879><c> not</c><00:07:54.120><c> understand</c><00:07:55.240><c> the</c><00:07:56.339><c> truth</c><00:07:56.980><c> as</c><00:07:58.220><c> it</c><00:07:58.360><c> is</c><00:07:59.279><c> in</c><00:08:00.839><c> Scripture.</c>

00:08:02.699 --> 00:08:05.379
Now<00:08:02.819><c> I</c><00:08:02.839><c> was</c><00:08:03.060><c> very</c><00:08:03.480><c> thankful</c><00:08:03.759><c> and</c><00:08:04.079><c> pleased</c><00:08:04.300><c> when</c><00:08:04.480><c> Brother</c><00:08:04.720><c> Glenn</c><00:08:04.959><c> asked</c><00:08:05.220><c> me</c>

00:08:10.420 --> 00:08:13.279
And<00:08:10.620><c> maybe</c><00:08:10.860><c> as</c><00:08:11.180><c> you</c><00:08:11.680><c> heard</c><00:08:11.839><c> it</c><00:08:12.100><c> being</c><00:08:12.300><c> read,</c><00:08:12.800><c> and</c><00:08:12.959><c> was</c><00:08:13.139><c> read</c>

00:08:47.779 --> 00:08:51.320
Now<00:08:48.379><c> Eliashiv</c><00:08:48.980><c> was</c><00:08:49.340><c> the</c><00:08:49.720><c> high</c><00:08:50.179><c> priest.</c>

00:08:51.580 --> 00:08:56.019
The<00:08:51.779><c> work</c><00:08:51.960><c> began</c><00:08:52.799><c> at</c><00:08:53.539><c> the</c><00:08:53.820><c> sheep</c><00:08:54.019><c> gate,</c><00:08:54.600><c> the</c><00:08:54.820><c> way</c><00:08:54.980><c> of</c><00:08:55.360><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.620
It<00:08:56.539><c> was</c><00:08:56.840><c> appropriate</c><00:08:57.379><c> that</c><00:08:57.600><c> the</c><00:08:57.799><c> high</c><00:08:58.100><c> priest</c><00:08:58.759><c> should</c><00:08:59.539><c> be</c><00:08:59.799><c> involved</c><00:09:00.620><c> in</c>

00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:02.759
the<00:09:01.700><c> beginning</c><00:09:02.000><c> of</c><00:09:02.240><c> the</c><00:09:02.399><c> work,</c>

00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.860
and<00:09:03.240><c> it</c><00:09:03.379><c> should</c><00:09:03.600><c> begin</c><00:09:04.059><c> at</c><00:09:04.360><c> the</c><00:09:04.659><c> sheep</c><00:09:04.940><c> gate.</c>

00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.879

00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:12.259

00:09:12.259 --> 00:09:21.960
In<00:09:12.379><c> John</c><00:09:12.720><c> chapter</c><00:09:13.220><c> 5,</c><00:09:14.419><c> we</c><00:09:15.000><c> have</c><00:09:15.279><c> recorded</c><00:09:16.299><c> the</c><00:09:17.200><c> fact</c><00:09:17.460><c> that</c><00:09:18.460><c> Jesus</c><00:09:19.299><c> came</c><00:09:21.799><c> to</c>

00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:22.480
the<00:09:22.139><c> sheep</c><00:09:22.279><c> gate.</c>

00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:25.460
Now<00:09:22.679><c> there</c><00:09:22.779><c> was</c><00:09:23.019><c> at</c><00:09:23.179><c> Jerusalem</c><00:09:23.559><c> chapter</c><00:09:24.019><c> 5,</c><00:09:24.460><c> verse</c><00:09:24.679><c> 2,</c><00:09:25.000><c> by</c><00:09:25.220><c> the</c>

sheep<00:09:25.799><c> market.</c>

00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.399
Now<00:09:26.419><c> if</c><00:09:26.500><c> you</c><00:09:26.620><c> notice</c><00:09:26.879><c> in</c><00:09:27.039><c> your</c><00:09:27.240><c> Bible,</c><00:09:27.559><c> the</c><00:09:27.620><c> word</c><00:09:27.860><c> market</c><00:09:28.179><c> is</c>

00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:29.519
in<00:09:28.519><c> italics,</c>

00:09:29.740 --> 00:09:31.860
and<00:09:29.879><c> in</c><00:09:29.940><c> my</c><00:09:30.240><c> Bible</c><00:09:30.519><c> there's</c><00:09:30.759><c> a</c><00:09:30.899><c> little</c><00:09:31.080><c> three</c><00:09:31.379><c> and</c><00:09:31.480><c> you</c><00:09:31.639><c> go</c><00:09:31.740><c> to</c>

00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:33.220
the<00:09:32.039><c> margin</c><00:09:32.299><c> and</c><00:09:32.440><c> it</c><00:09:32.600><c> says</c><00:09:32.799><c> gate.</c>

00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.759
So<00:09:33.559><c> there</c><00:09:33.740><c> is</c><00:09:33.919><c> at</c><00:09:34.080><c> Jerusalem</c><00:09:34.480><c> by</c><00:09:34.720><c> the</c><00:09:34.980><c> sheep</c><00:09:35.240><c> gate,</c><00:09:35.860><c> and</c><00:09:36.059><c> no</c><00:09:36.220><c> doubt</c><00:09:36.360><c> the</c><00:09:36.659><c> sheep</c><00:09:36.899><c> market</c><00:09:37.299><c> was</c><00:09:37.559><c> at</c>

00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:38.460
the<00:09:37.960><c> sheep</c><00:09:38.200><c> gate,</c>

00:09:38.500 --> 00:09:40.879
so<00:09:38.759><c> both</c><00:09:39.120><c> market</c><00:09:39.379><c> and</c><00:09:39.639><c> gate</c><00:09:39.740><c> would</c><00:09:40.000><c> both</c><00:09:40.220><c> be</c><00:09:40.539><c> correct.</c>

00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:48.259
There<00:09:41.460><c> was</c><00:09:41.759><c> a</c><00:09:42.059><c> pool,</c><00:09:42.879><c> which</c><00:09:43.039><c> is</c><00:09:43.299><c> called</c><00:09:43.580><c> in</c><00:09:43.679><c> the</c><00:09:43.940><c> Hebrew</c><00:09:44.220><c> tongue,</c><00:09:45.299><c> Bethesda,</c><00:09:46.159><c> having</c><00:09:46.500><c> five</c><00:09:46.919><c> porches.</c>

00:09:48.340 --> 00:09:53.259
And<00:09:48.600><c> this</c><00:09:48.799><c> is</c><00:09:49.019><c> where</c><00:09:49.200><c> Jesus</c><00:09:50.139><c> healed</c><00:09:50.940><c> a</c><00:09:51.639><c> crippled</c><00:09:52.080><c> man.</c>

00:09:55.379 --> 00:09:58.519
So<00:09:55.700><c> Jesus</c><00:09:56.120><c> was</c><00:09:56.379><c> familiar</c><00:09:56.779><c> with</c><00:09:57.059><c> the</c><00:09:57.360><c> sheep</c><00:09:57.559><c> gate.</c>

00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:03.100
He<00:09:59.159><c> may</c><00:09:59.360><c> have</c><00:09:59.460><c> used</c><00:09:59.620><c> it</c><00:09:59.779><c> many</c><00:10:00.059><c> times</c><00:10:00.679><c> going</c><00:10:01.039><c> in</c><00:10:01.320><c> and</c><00:10:01.460><c> out</c><00:10:01.580><c> of</c><00:10:01.740><c> the</c><00:10:01.840><c> city</c><00:10:02.019><c> of</c><00:10:02.240><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:08.960
It<00:10:04.000><c> would</c><00:10:04.179><c> be</c><00:10:04.360><c> the</c><00:10:04.600><c> gate</c><00:10:04.879><c> that</c><00:10:05.100><c> you</c><00:10:05.220><c> would</c><00:10:05.519><c> use</c><00:10:05.759><c> to</c><00:10:05.960><c> go</c><00:10:06.139><c> from</c><00:10:06.360><c> Jerusalem</c><00:10:06.740><c> down</c><00:10:07.480><c> to</c><00:10:07.820><c> Jericho.</c>

00:10:09.419 --> 00:10:13.419
In<00:10:09.899><c> the</c><00:10:10.080><c> book</c><00:10:10.259><c> of</c><00:10:10.440><c> Nehemiah</c><00:10:10.860><c> there</c><00:10:11.000><c> are</c><00:10:11.340><c> 12</c><00:10:11.840><c> gates</c><00:10:12.240><c> mentioned.</c>

00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.179
Ten<00:10:13.960><c> of</c><00:10:14.120><c> them</c><00:10:14.220><c> are</c><00:10:14.440><c> in</c><00:10:14.539><c> chapter</c><00:10:14.919><c> 3.</c>

00:10:16.340 --> 00:10:19.440
Two<00:10:16.580><c> of</c><00:10:16.720><c> the</c><00:10:16.899><c> gates</c><00:10:17.080><c> are</c><00:10:17.340><c> mentioned</c><00:10:17.559><c> in</c><00:10:17.720><c> chapter</c><00:10:18.059><c> 12,</c><00:10:18.440><c> verse</c><00:10:18.740><c> 39.</c>

00:10:19.580 --> 00:10:23.059
The<00:10:19.779><c> other</c><00:10:20.000><c> two,</c><00:10:20.299><c> the</c><00:10:20.399><c> gate</c><00:10:20.559><c> of</c><00:10:20.740><c> Ephraim</c><00:10:21.740><c> and</c><00:10:22.159><c> the</c><00:10:22.360><c> prison</c><00:10:22.700><c> gate.</c>

00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:27.179
Now<00:10:23.779><c> it's</c><00:10:23.960><c> very</c><00:10:24.539><c> appropriate</c><00:10:25.179><c> that</c><00:10:25.460><c> the</c><00:10:25.659><c> high</c><00:10:25.980><c> priest</c><00:10:26.519><c> should</c>

00:10:27.179 --> 00:10:28.100
begin<00:10:27.480><c> the</c><00:10:27.720><c> work</c>

00:10:28.100 --> 00:10:30.639
and<00:10:28.759><c> that</c><00:10:28.820><c> he</c><00:10:28.960><c> should</c><00:10:29.159><c> begin</c><00:10:29.440><c> it</c><00:10:29.659><c> at</c><00:10:29.899><c> this</c><00:10:30.139><c> spot,</c>

00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:35.659
but<00:10:31.480><c> unfortunately</c><00:10:32.440><c> this</c><00:10:32.759><c> high</c><00:10:33.100><c> priest</c><00:10:33.639><c> was</c><00:10:34.980><c> not</c><00:10:35.220><c> a</c><00:10:35.320><c> very</c>

00:10:35.659 --> 00:10:38.220
good<00:10:36.679><c> high</c><00:10:37.259><c> priest.</c>

00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:42.259
We<00:10:38.639><c> flip</c><00:10:38.840><c> over</c><00:10:39.159><c> to</c><00:10:39.700><c> Nehemiah</c><00:10:40.379><c> chapter</c><00:10:40.779><c> 13</c><00:10:41.379><c> and</c><00:10:41.539><c> verse</c><00:10:41.860><c> 4.</c>

00:10:42.460 --> 00:10:46.620
We<00:10:42.460><c> find</c><00:10:42.779><c> that</c><00:10:43.059><c> before</c><00:10:43.419><c> this</c><00:10:43.820><c> Eliasheb,</c><00:10:45.480><c> that's</c><00:10:45.659><c> the</c><00:10:45.799><c> high</c><00:10:46.139><c> priest,</c>

00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.840
having<00:10:47.240><c> the</c><00:10:47.580><c> oversight</c><00:10:48.039><c> of</c><00:10:48.340><c> the</c><00:10:48.559><c> chamber</c><00:10:48.879><c> of</c><00:10:49.120><c> the</c><00:10:49.360><c> house</c><00:10:49.600><c> of</c>

our<00:10:50.059><c> God</c><00:10:50.279><c> was</c><00:10:50.840><c> what?</c>

00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.279
He<00:10:53.220><c> was</c><00:10:53.600><c> allied</c><00:10:54.120><c> unto</c><00:10:55.500><c> Tobiah.</c>

00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:01.659

Can<00:11:02.399><c> you</c><00:11:02.600><c> believe</c><00:11:02.919><c> it?</c>

00:11:04.620 --> 00:11:06.000
It<00:11:04.980><c> happened.</c>

00:11:06.460 --> 00:11:08.100
It's<00:11:06.860><c> tragic.</c>

00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.799
Chapter<00:11:09.500><c> 13,</c><00:11:10.320><c> verse</c><00:11:10.480><c> 28.</c>

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:16.179
And<00:11:12.340><c> one</c><00:11:12.600><c> of</c><00:11:12.740><c> the</c><00:11:12.759><c> sons</c><00:11:13.179><c> of</c><00:11:13.740><c> Juada,</c><00:11:14.899><c> the</c><00:11:15.080><c> son</c><00:11:15.240><c> of</c><00:11:15.460><c> Eliasheb,</c>

00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.600
the<00:11:16.759><c> high</c><00:11:17.100><c> priest,</c><00:11:17.580><c> was</c><00:11:17.820><c> son</c><00:11:18.139><c>-in</c><00:11:18.360><c>-law</c><00:11:18.659><c> to</c><00:11:19.019><c> Sanballat</c><00:11:19.759><c> the</c><00:11:20.139><c> Horonite.</c>

00:11:20.620 --> 00:11:22.320
Therefore<00:11:20.899><c> I</c><00:11:21.159><c> chased</c><00:11:21.440><c> him</c><00:11:21.700><c> from</c><00:11:21.960><c> me.</c>

00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.700
That's<00:11:23.120><c> what</c><00:11:23.279><c> you</c><00:11:23.419><c> ought</c><00:11:23.600><c> to</c><00:11:23.720><c> do</c><00:11:23.879><c> with</c><00:11:24.039><c> people</c><00:11:24.299><c> who</c><00:11:25.139><c> will</c><00:11:25.500><c> not</c>

00:11:25.700 --> 00:11:26.879

There's<00:22:20.019><c> a</c><00:22:20.180><c> story</c><00:22:20.319><c> I</c><00:22:20.519><c> like</c><00:22:20.680><c> about</c><00:22:20.920><c> a</c><00:22:21.299><c> young</c><00:22:21.700><c> brother</c><00:22:22.140><c> who</c><00:22:22.359><c> was</c>

00:22:26.779 --> 00:22:28.799
Oh,<00:22:27.099><c> he</c><00:22:27.279><c> was</c><00:22:27.619><c> so</c><00:22:27.960><c> anxious</c><00:22:28.299><c> to</c><00:22:28.579><c> give</c><00:22:28.700><c> it.</c>

00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:31.740
He<00:22:29.400><c> just</c><00:22:29.700><c> knew</c><00:22:29.880><c> he</c><00:22:30.000><c> was</c><00:22:30.220><c> going</c><00:22:30.319><c> to</c><00:22:30.460><c> do</c><00:22:30.579><c> a</c><00:22:30.920><c> marvelous</c><00:22:31.339><c> job.</c>

00:22:31.740 --> 00:22:34.420

00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:38.059
He<00:22:34.980><c> stood</c><00:22:35.200><c> up</c><00:22:35.420><c> on</c><00:22:35.559><c> the</c><00:22:35.839><c> platform</c><00:22:36.279><c> like</c><00:22:36.599><c> a</c><00:22:36.720><c> little</c><00:22:36.960><c> bany</c><00:22:37.220><c> rooster.</c>

00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:41.519
Just<00:22:38.819><c> puffed</c><00:22:39.220><c> out,</c><00:22:39.400><c> and</c><00:22:39.539><c> he</c><00:22:39.680><c> was</c><00:22:39.900><c> really</c><00:22:40.279><c> going</c><00:22:40.539><c> to</c><00:22:41.240><c> tell</c><00:22:41.359><c> him</c>

00:22:54.759 --> 00:23:00.339
He<00:22:55.059><c> realized</c><00:22:55.680><c> how</c><00:22:56.019><c> poorly</c><00:22:56.279><c> he</c><00:22:56.440><c> did,</c><00:22:58.700><c> and</c><00:22:59.400><c> he</c><00:22:59.740><c> came</c><00:22:59.940><c> down</c><00:23:00.200><c> from</c>

00:23:08.579 --> 00:23:14.420
A<00:23:09.359><c> wise</c><00:23:09.799><c> old</c><00:23:10.160><c> sister</c><00:23:10.559><c> who</c><00:23:10.799><c> had</c><00:23:11.000><c> known</c><00:23:11.160><c> him</c><00:23:11.519><c> since</c><00:23:11.779><c> he</c><00:23:11.859><c> was</c><00:23:12.079><c> a</c><00:23:12.259><c> baby</c><00:23:13.099><c> walked</c><00:23:14.099><c> up</c>

00:23:32.099 --> 00:23:37.720
And<00:23:32.819><c> God</c><00:23:33.140><c> will</c><00:23:34.059><c> exalt</c><00:23:34.759><c> the</c><00:23:35.079><c> humble</c><00:23:35.519><c> and</c><00:23:36.000><c> abase</c><00:23:36.500><c> the</c><00:23:36.859><c> proud.</c>

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:42.039
And<00:23:38.920><c> so</c><00:23:39.039><c> let's</c><00:23:39.440><c> remember</c><00:23:40.059><c> that</c><00:23:41.039><c> in</c><00:23:41.240><c> the</c><00:23:41.400><c> work</c><00:23:41.559><c> we're</c><00:23:41.799><c> doing</c>

00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:48.400
and<00:23:44.720><c> we're</c><00:23:45.000><c> just</c><00:23:45.819><c> thankful</c><00:23:46.279><c> that</c><00:23:46.619><c> we</c><00:23:47.460><c> have</c><00:23:47.660><c> the</c><00:23:47.900><c> privilege</c><00:23:48.200><c> of</c>

being<00:23:48.660><c> workers</c><00:23:49.119><c> together</c><00:23:49.640><c> with</c><00:23:49.880><c> God.</c>

00:23:50.420 --> 00:23:56.299
It's<00:23:51.380><c> his</c><00:23:51.720><c> work,</c><00:23:52.339><c> and</c><00:23:52.400><c> he</c><00:23:52.579><c> will</c><00:23:52.839><c> bless</c><00:23:53.079><c> it,</c><00:23:55.519><c> and</c><00:23:55.819><c> only</c><00:23:56.039><c> bless</c>

00:24:01.859 --> 00:24:06.220
The<00:24:02.099><c> Dung</c><00:24:02.339><c> Gate</c><00:24:02.500><c> is</c><00:24:02.779><c> next,</c><00:24:04.099><c> and</c><00:24:04.279><c> the</c><00:24:04.380><c> Dung</c><00:24:04.599><c> Gate</c><00:24:04.759><c> was</c><00:24:05.059><c> repaired</c>

00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:13.640
And<00:24:08.559><c> again,</c><00:24:08.940><c> this</c><00:24:09.079><c> would</c><00:24:09.279><c> be</c><00:24:09.460><c> an</c><00:24:09.680><c> act</c><00:24:09.980><c> of</c><00:24:10.380><c> humility,</c><00:24:12.099><c> because</c>

00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:17.440
the<00:24:14.220><c> Dung</c><00:24:14.460><c> Gate</c><00:24:14.680><c> was</c><00:24:14.960><c> not</c><00:24:15.220><c> the</c><00:24:15.299><c> most</c><00:24:15.619><c> favorite</c><00:24:16.039><c> place,</c>

But<00:24:20.819><c> it</c><00:24:20.940><c> was</c><00:24:21.160><c> a</c><00:24:21.299><c> necessary</c><00:24:21.819><c> gate,</c><00:24:23.160><c> and</c><00:24:24.380><c> there</c><00:24:24.779><c> are</c><00:24:24.980><c> necessary</c>

We<00:24:33.240><c> are</c><00:24:33.759><c> so</c><00:24:34.359><c> fortunate</c><00:24:34.839><c> in</c><00:24:35.119><c> just,</c><00:24:35.700><c> we're</c><00:24:35.900><c> like</c><00:24:36.099><c> children</c><00:24:36.259><c> with</c>

00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:47.559

00:26:23.539 --> 00:26:29.460
If<00:26:23.900><c> we</c><00:26:24.140><c> confess</c><00:26:24.559><c> our</c><00:26:24.960><c> sins,</c><00:26:27.220><c> He</c><00:26:27.319><c> is</c><00:26:27.559><c> faithful</c><00:26:27.920><c> and</c><00:26:28.240><c> just</c><00:26:28.519><c> to</c><00:26:28.859><c> forgive</c><00:26:29.160><c> us</c>

You'll<00:34:47.039><c> do</c><00:34:47.199><c> it</c><00:34:47.519><c> someday,</c><00:34:48.480><c> sometime</c><00:34:49.179><c> when.</c>

00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:57.280
These<00:34:53.320><c> brothers</c><00:34:53.719><c> and</c><00:34:54.000><c> sisters</c><00:34:54.900><c> didn't</c><00:34:55.659><c> know</c><00:34:55.860><c> how</c><00:34:56.079><c> to</c><00:34:56.340><c> build.</c>

00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:01.360

00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:06.380
because<00:35:01.800><c> they</c><00:35:01.980><c> were</c><00:35:02.539><c> goldsmiths</c><00:35:03.679><c> and</c><00:35:03.800><c> apothecaries</c><00:35:04.820><c> and</c><00:35:05.260><c> they</c><00:35:05.360><c> were</c><00:35:05.699><c> girls</c><00:35:06.199><c> and</c>

00:35:07.940 --> 00:35:11.980
But<00:35:08.179><c> they</c><00:35:08.480><c> did</c><00:35:08.780><c> what</c><00:35:09.000><c> they</c><00:35:09.380><c> could</c><00:35:09.579><c> with</c><00:35:09.820><c> what</c><00:35:10.059><c> they</c><00:35:10.440><c> had</c><00:35:10.900><c> over</c>

There's<00:35:23.159><c> someone</c><00:35:23.619><c> who</c><00:35:23.920><c> can</c><00:35:24.139><c> do</c><00:35:24.360><c> it</c><00:35:24.639><c> better</c><00:35:24.960><c> than</c><00:35:25.239><c> you.</c>

I<00:37:36.019><c> don't.</c>

00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:40.300
And<00:37:38.139><c> the</c><00:37:38.260><c> answer</c><00:37:38.460><c> is</c><00:37:38.619><c> none</c><00:37:38.780><c> of</c><00:37:38.920><c> my</c><00:37:39.099><c> business.</c>

00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:43.699
But<00:37:41.760><c> the</c><00:37:42.460><c> lesson</c><00:37:42.900><c> is</c><00:37:43.260><c> this.</c>

00:37:43.699 --> 00:37:48.519
When<00:37:43.980><c> we</c><00:37:44.239><c> leave</c><00:37:44.619><c> this</c><00:37:44.960><c> Bible</c><00:37:45.400><c> school,</c><00:37:46.440><c> let's</c><00:37:46.679><c> leave</c><00:37:46.900><c> this</c><00:37:47.260><c> Bible</c><00:37:47.500><c> school</c><00:37:47.699><c> resolved</c><00:37:48.380><c> to</c>

00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:54.260
go<00:37:48.719><c> out</c><00:37:49.059><c> and</c><00:37:49.320><c> do</c><00:37:49.579><c> our</c><00:37:50.199><c> best</c><00:37:50.780><c> every</c><00:37:51.639><c> day</c><00:37:52.380><c> for</c><00:37:52.679><c> him,</c><00:37:53.380><c> the</c><00:37:53.639><c> best</c><00:37:54.039><c> we</c>

00:37:54.260 --> 00:37:55.860
can<00:37:54.599><c> do.</c>

00:37:56.199 --> 00:37:57.420
And<00:37:56.300><c> he'll</c><00:37:56.480><c> be</c><00:37:56.719><c> satisfied</c><00:37:57.059><c> with</c><00:37:57.280><c> that.</c>

00:37:57.500 --> 00:38:01.139
Even<00:37:57.719><c> though</c><00:37:57.940><c> it's</c><00:37:58.179><c> a</c><00:37:58.320><c> very</c><00:37:59.239><c> feeble</c><00:37:59.639><c> effort,</c><00:38:00.400><c> he</c><00:38:00.599><c> will</c><00:38:00.880><c> know</c>

00:38:01.139 --> 00:38:01.940
we<00:38:01.500><c> tried.</c>

00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:06.980
And<00:38:02.440><c> the</c><00:38:02.840><c> ones</c><00:38:03.000><c> he</c><00:38:03.300><c> cannot</c><00:38:03.699><c> tolerate</c><00:38:04.260><c> are</c><00:38:04.420><c> those</c><00:38:04.940><c> who</c><00:38:05.340><c> won't</c><00:38:05.780><c> try.</c>

00:38:07.860 --> 00:38:10.099
Sometimes<00:38:08.300><c> we</c><00:38:08.519><c> find</c><00:38:08.800><c> someone</c><00:38:09.139><c> who</c><00:38:09.300><c> won't</c><00:38:09.500><c> even</c><00:38:09.780><c> come</c><00:38:09.960><c> into</c>

00:38:10.099 --> 00:38:12.059
the<00:38:10.360><c> truth</c><00:38:10.559><c> because</c><00:38:10.880><c> they</c><00:38:11.099><c> won't</c><00:38:11.480><c> try.</c>

00:38:12.059 --> 00:38:14.619
They<00:38:12.800><c> say,</c><00:38:12.940><c> oh,</c><00:38:13.280><c> I</c><00:38:13.380><c> could</c><00:38:13.619><c> never</c><00:38:13.960><c> live</c><00:38:14.179><c> it.</c>

00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:16.539
Nobody<00:38:15.460><c> has</c><00:38:15.760><c> ever</c><00:38:16.059><c> lived</c><00:38:16.340><c> it.</c>

00:38:16.619 --> 00:38:18.099
But<00:38:16.880><c> Jesus.</c>

00:38:18.699 --> 00:38:20.599
But<00:38:18.920><c> you</c><00:38:19.039><c> can</c><00:38:19.340><c> try.</c>

00:38:21.860 --> 00:38:24.000
You<00:38:22.059><c> can</c><00:38:22.260><c> give</c><00:38:22.360><c> it</c><00:38:22.760><c> your</c><00:38:22.980><c> best.</c>

00:38:24.059 --> 00:38:27.099
And<00:38:24.239><c> don't</c><00:38:24.500><c> worry</c><00:38:24.719><c> if</c><00:38:24.840><c> someone</c><00:38:25.159><c> is</c><00:38:25.440><c> better</c><00:38:25.679><c> than</c><00:38:25.940><c> you.</c>

00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:30.340
When<00:38:27.539><c> they</c><00:38:27.739><c> run</c><00:38:27.880><c> these</c><00:38:28.219><c> marathons</c><00:38:28.719><c> now,</c><00:38:29.300><c> the</c><00:38:29.579><c> idea</c><00:38:29.920><c> is</c><00:38:30.099><c> to</c>

00:38:30.340 --> 00:38:30.739
finish<00:38:30.539><c> them.</c>

00:38:30.739 --> 00:38:32.079
I'm<00:38:30.940><c> not</c><00:38:31.139><c> involved</c><00:38:31.599><c> in</c><00:38:31.820><c> that.</c>

00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:35.539
But<00:38:32.639><c> we</c><00:38:33.000><c> have</c><00:38:33.159><c> a</c><00:38:33.320><c> man</c><00:38:33.440><c> out</c><00:38:33.619><c> our</c><00:38:33.760><c> way</c><00:38:33.860><c> who</c><00:38:34.059><c> has</c><00:38:34.320><c> no</c><00:38:34.699><c> feet.</c>

00:38:36.420 --> 00:38:39.480
He<00:38:36.739><c> runs</c><00:38:37.099><c> marathons</c><00:38:37.820><c> with</c><00:38:38.119><c> no</c><00:38:38.559><c> feet.</c>

00:38:39.980 --> 00:38:42.679
He<00:38:40.500><c> never</c><00:38:40.900><c> has</c><00:38:41.280><c> won</c><00:38:41.659><c> one.</c>

00:38:43.099 --> 00:38:47.940
But<00:38:43.380><c> he</c><00:38:43.659><c> is</c><00:38:44.139><c> in</c><00:38:44.380><c> his</c><00:38:44.800><c> way,</c><00:38:45.340><c> which</c><00:38:45.619><c> he</c><00:38:45.800><c> thinks</c><00:38:46.039><c> is</c><00:38:46.860><c> an</c><00:38:47.320><c> important</c><00:38:47.719><c> thing.</c>

00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:50.940
I<00:38:48.079><c> don't</c><00:38:48.300><c> think</c><00:38:48.500><c> running</c><00:38:48.960><c> marathons</c><00:38:49.480><c> is</c><00:38:49.699><c> that</c><00:38:49.920><c> important.</c>

00:38:50.980 --> 00:38:53.320
Because<00:38:51.199><c> bodily</c><00:38:51.539><c> exercise</c><00:38:52.199><c> profiteth</c><00:38:52.860><c> little.</c>

00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:56.219
And<00:38:53.659><c> godliness</c><00:38:53.960><c> is</c><00:38:54.320><c> profitable</c><00:38:54.559><c> unto</c><00:38:54.860><c> all</c><00:38:55.179><c> things,</c><00:38:55.900><c> having</c><00:38:56.019><c> a</c>

00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:02.559
But<00:38:58.960><c> this</c><00:38:59.340><c> man</c><00:38:59.579><c> is</c><00:38:59.900><c> doing</c><00:39:00.119><c> his</c><00:39:00.559><c> best</c><00:39:00.820><c> to</c><00:39:01.039><c> run</c><00:39:01.239><c> with</c><00:39:01.500><c> no</c><00:39:01.760><c> feet.</c>

00:39:03.039 --> 00:39:05.699
We<00:39:03.280><c> might</c><00:39:03.519><c> say</c><00:39:03.719><c> if</c><00:39:03.840><c> we</c><00:39:04.000><c> have</c><00:39:04.119><c> no</c><00:39:04.440><c> feet,</c><00:39:04.639><c> I</c><00:39:04.860><c> can't</c><00:39:05.159><c> do</c><00:39:05.380><c> it.</c>
