faith<00:15:39.059><c> is</c><00:15:39.620><c> in</c><00:15:39.860><c> accordance</c><00:15:40.139><c> with</c><00:15:40.340><c> the</c><00:15:40.519><c> quality</c><00:15:40.799><c> of</c><00:15:40.940><c> his</c><00:15:41.100><c> belief.</c>

00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:45.139
Faith<00:15:42.799><c> is</c><00:15:43.039><c> many</c><00:15:43.299><c> things.</c><00:15:43.879><c> It's</c><00:15:44.039><c> the</c><00:15:44.179><c> evidence</c><00:15:44.399><c> of</c><00:15:44.559><c> things</c><00:15:44.779><c> not</c>

00:15:45.139 --> 00:15:46.120
seen<00:15:45.379><c> in</c><00:15:45.600><c> the</c><00:15:45.799><c> past.</c>

00:15:46.500 --> 00:15:47.720
It's<00:15:46.659><c> the</c><00:15:46.919><c> vision</c><00:15:47.059><c> of</c><00:15:47.240><c> the</c><00:15:47.360><c> future.</c>

00:15:48.139 --> 00:15:50.639
It's<00:15:48.340><c> also,</c><00:15:48.779><c> brethren</c><00:15:48.919><c> and</c><00:15:49.159><c> sisters,</c><00:15:49.379><c> doing</c><00:15:49.659><c> exactly</c><00:15:50.419><c> what</c>

00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:51.399
God<00:15:50.860><c> has</c><00:15:51.159><c> said.</c>

00:15:51.779 --> 00:15:54.519
Because<00:15:52.059><c> the</c><00:15:52.399><c> object</c><00:15:52.740><c> of</c><00:15:52.899><c> our</c><00:15:53.139><c> faith</c><00:15:53.340><c> is</c><00:15:53.639><c> God.</c>

00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.419
Therefore<00:15:55.279><c> a</c><00:15:55.440><c> man</c><00:15:55.659><c> can</c><00:15:55.860><c> have,</c><00:15:56.059><c> he</c><00:15:56.179><c> can</c><00:15:56.299><c> look</c><00:15:56.500><c> back</c><00:15:56.720><c> and</c><00:15:56.860><c> see</c><00:15:56.940><c> the</c><00:15:57.100><c> evidence</c><00:15:57.259><c> of</c>

00:15:57.419 --> 00:15:57.840
the<00:15:57.580><c> past.</c>

00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.460
He<00:15:58.179><c> can</c><00:15:58.340><c> even</c><00:15:58.539><c> look</c><00:15:58.759><c> forward</c><00:15:59.039><c> and</c><00:15:59.299><c> close</c><00:15:59.440><c> the</c><00:15:59.659><c> future</c><00:15:59.860><c> with</c><00:16:00.100><c> substance.</c>

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.500
But<00:16:00.840><c> if</c><00:16:01.039><c> he</c><00:16:01.179><c> ignores</c><00:16:01.480><c> what</c><00:16:01.740><c> God</c><00:16:02.039><c> says</c><00:16:02.399><c> and</c><00:16:02.820><c> he</c><00:16:02.980><c> makes</c><00:16:03.200><c> a</c><00:16:03.399><c> vision</c>

00:16:03.500 --> 00:16:04.240
of<00:16:03.600><c> his</c><00:16:03.779><c> own</c><00:16:04.000><c> mind,</c>

00:16:04.340 --> 00:16:07.320
however<00:16:04.620><c> strong</c><00:16:04.899><c> his</c><00:16:05.159><c> faith</c><00:16:05.340><c> may</c><00:16:05.580><c> be</c><00:16:05.740><c> in</c><00:16:05.879><c> that,</c><00:16:06.080><c> it's</c><00:16:06.379><c> useless.</c>

00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.399
So<00:16:08.259><c> Noah</c><00:16:08.460><c> was</c><00:16:08.940><c> warned</c><00:16:09.259><c> of</c><00:16:09.559><c> God.</c>

00:16:10.460 --> 00:16:12.740
And<00:16:10.980><c> you</c><00:16:11.100><c> know,</c><00:16:11.399><c> brethren</c><00:16:11.580><c> and</c><00:16:11.759><c> sisters,</c><00:16:12.039><c> one's</c><00:16:12.299><c> only</c><00:16:12.440><c> got</c><00:16:12.600><c> to</c>

00:16:17.419 --> 00:16:19.440
with<00:16:17.659><c> a</c><00:16:17.899><c> devastating</c><00:16:18.379><c> message.</c>

00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:22.799
You<00:16:19.919><c> can't</c><00:16:20.240><c> imagine</c><00:16:20.840><c> the</c><00:16:21.139><c> impact</c><00:16:21.399><c> upon</c><00:16:21.620><c> Noah</c><00:16:21.879><c> of</c><00:16:22.179><c> these</c><00:16:22.399><c> words,</c>

00:16:23.299 --> 00:16:26.580
within<00:16:23.500><c> seven</c><00:16:23.840><c> days</c><00:16:24.299><c> I</c><00:16:24.580><c> will</c><00:16:24.840><c> cause</c><00:16:25.019><c> it</c><00:16:25.139><c> to</c><00:16:25.299><c> rain</c><00:16:25.399><c> upon</c><00:16:25.659><c> the</c><00:16:25.840><c> earth.</c>

00:16:27.539 --> 00:16:31.159
And<00:16:27.759><c> I</c><00:16:27.899><c> can</c><00:16:28.220><c> just</c><00:16:28.539><c> imagine</c><00:16:28.980><c> Noah</c><00:16:29.320><c> turning</c><00:16:29.679><c> around</c><00:16:30.179><c> and</c><00:16:30.759><c> looking</c><00:16:30.980><c> at</c>

00:16:33.259 --> 00:16:37.840

00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:49.320
It<00:16:47.740><c> would</c><00:16:47.940><c> be</c><00:16:48.179><c> impossible.</c>

00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:51.639

00:16:54.940 --> 00:16:57.320
As<00:16:55.100><c> Noah</c><00:16:55.200><c> would</c><00:16:55.340><c> have</c><00:16:55.500><c> looked</c><00:16:55.700><c> at</c><00:16:55.879><c> that</c><00:16:56.139><c> boat</c><00:16:56.340><c> and</c><00:16:56.840><c> ran</c><00:16:57.059><c> over</c>

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:08.880
Thus<00:17:05.559><c> did</c><00:17:05.880><c> Noah,</c><00:17:06.160><c> according</c><00:17:06.640><c> to</c><00:17:07.019><c> all</c><00:17:07.319><c> that</c><00:17:07.579><c> Yahweh</c><00:17:07.920><c> said,</c><00:17:08.519><c> so</c>

as<00:17:33.519><c> we've</c><00:17:33.740><c> got</c><00:17:33.799><c> to</c><00:17:33.900><c> do</c><00:17:33.980><c> all</c><00:17:34.220><c> the</c><00:17:34.359><c> time.</c>

00:17:34.539 --> 00:17:36.160
Every<00:17:34.819><c> Sunday</c><00:17:35.099><c> morning</c><00:17:35.319><c> we</c><00:17:35.480><c> turn</c><00:17:35.700><c> around</c><00:17:35.859><c> and</c><00:17:35.880><c> look</c><00:17:36.019><c> at</c><00:17:36.099><c> it.</c>

00:17:36.779 --> 00:17:38.000
Is<00:17:36.900><c> it</c><00:17:37.079><c> watertight?</c>

00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.279
Is<00:17:38.960><c> it</c><00:17:39.180><c> built</c><00:17:39.440><c> exactly</c><00:17:40.420><c> as</c><00:17:40.599><c> God</c><00:17:40.819><c> described?</c>

00:17:41.420 --> 00:17:42.720
Well,<00:17:41.599><c> we</c><00:17:41.740><c> know</c><00:17:41.900><c> it</c><00:17:42.059><c> isn't.</c>

00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:45.220
We<00:17:43.200><c> know</c><00:17:43.420><c> that</c><00:17:43.579><c> we</c><00:17:43.680><c> don't</c><00:17:43.859><c> do</c><00:17:44.160><c> all</c><00:17:44.539><c> that</c><00:17:44.640><c> God</c><00:17:44.880><c> has</c><00:17:45.099><c> said.</c>

00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.160
We<00:17:45.559><c> don't</c><00:17:45.819><c> exactly</c><00:17:46.319><c> perform</c><00:17:46.680><c> His</c><00:17:46.920><c> will.</c>

00:17:51.220 --> 00:17:55.319
We<00:17:51.359><c> can</c><00:17:51.579><c> go</c><00:17:51.880><c> away</c><00:17:52.180><c> from</c><00:17:52.420><c> time</c><00:17:52.720><c> to</c><00:17:52.940><c> time,</c><00:17:53.759><c> clean,</c><00:17:54.319><c> forgiven</c><00:17:54.579><c> people,</c><00:17:55.039><c> to</c>

00:17:59.220 --> 00:17:59.960
those<00:17:59.559><c> mistakes,</c>

00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:03.440

00:18:03.500 --> 00:18:05.259
And<00:18:03.559><c> that</c><00:18:03.700><c> ark</c><00:18:03.819><c> can</c><00:18:04.039><c> become</c><00:18:04.359><c> all</c><00:18:04.759><c> that</c><00:18:04.940><c> better.</c>

00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:08.680
But<00:18:05.759><c> there's</c><00:18:06.339><c> precious</c><00:18:06.740><c> little</c><00:18:07.059><c> time</c><00:18:07.319><c> left</c><00:18:07.519><c> to</c><00:18:07.700><c> do</c><00:18:07.859><c> that.</c>

00:18:08.700 --> 00:18:11.140
As<00:18:08.819><c> far</c><00:18:08.920><c> as</c><00:18:09.000><c> any</c><00:18:09.240><c> major</c><00:18:09.619><c> change</c><00:18:09.859><c> is</c><00:18:10.079><c> concerned,</c><00:18:10.539><c> brethren</c><00:18:10.619><c> and</c><00:18:10.880><c> sisters,</c>

00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:13.920
if<00:18:11.579><c> we've</c><00:18:11.799><c> got</c><00:18:11.880><c> to</c><00:18:12.000><c> make</c><00:18:12.119><c> any</c><00:18:12.279><c> major</c><00:18:12.640><c> change,</c><00:18:13.019><c> it's</c><00:18:13.380><c> high</c><00:18:13.660><c> time</c>

00:18:15.140 --> 00:18:16.960
We've<00:18:15.460><c> warned</c><00:18:15.680><c> of</c><00:18:15.940><c> God,</c><00:18:16.299><c> every</c><00:18:16.519><c> one</c><00:18:16.660><c> of</c><00:18:16.779><c> us.</c>

00:18:17.380 --> 00:18:18.640
And<00:18:17.599><c> Noah</c><00:18:17.740><c> was</c><00:18:17.980><c> warned</c><00:18:18.180><c> of</c><00:18:18.400><c> God.</c>

00:18:18.900 --> 00:18:24.059
And<00:18:19.019><c> he</c><00:18:19.119><c> was</c><00:18:19.319><c> warned</c><00:18:19.539><c> of</c><00:18:19.759><c> God</c><00:18:20.079><c> of</c><00:18:20.880><c> things</c><00:18:21.339><c> not</c><00:18:21.960><c> seen</c><00:18:22.519><c> as</c><00:18:23.220><c> yet.</c>

00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.240
The<00:18:25.220><c> word</c><00:18:25.640><c> medepo,</c><00:18:26.319><c> not</c><00:18:26.559><c> even</c><00:18:26.819><c> yet.</c>

00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:31.920
He<00:18:27.920><c> was</c><00:18:28.200><c> warned</c><00:18:28.440><c> of</c><00:18:29.099><c> things</c><00:18:29.460><c> not</c><00:18:30.119><c> even</c><00:18:30.519><c> yet</c><00:18:30.900><c> seen.</c>

00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.420
Now,<00:18:33.000><c> there's</c><00:18:33.240><c> rather</c><00:18:33.559><c> an</c><00:18:33.759><c> interesting</c><00:18:34.160><c> exposition</c><00:18:34.680><c> of</c><00:18:34.759><c> this,</c><00:18:35.079><c> given</c><00:18:35.160><c> by</c><00:18:35.480><c> some,</c>

00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:45.119
Now,<00:18:42.619><c> I'm</c><00:18:42.759><c> not</c><00:18:42.960><c> going</c><00:18:43.099><c> to</c><00:18:43.299><c> say</c><00:18:43.619><c> that</c><00:18:43.940><c> I'm</c><00:18:44.099><c> committed</c><00:18:44.400><c> to</c><00:18:44.619><c> that</c><00:18:44.819><c> belief.</c>

00:19:38.619 --> 00:19:39.799
that<00:19:39.059><c> God</c><00:19:39.319><c> described.</c>

00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:42.460

really<00:20:29.619><c> matter.</c>

00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:34.099
One<00:20:30.559><c> thing</c><00:20:30.759><c> had</c><00:20:31.019><c> not</c><00:20:31.240><c> been</c><00:20:31.619><c> seen,</c><00:20:31.799><c> and</c><00:20:31.980><c> that</c><00:20:32.200><c> was</c><00:20:32.380><c> a</c><00:20:32.680><c> universal</c><00:20:33.220><c> flood,</c>

00:20:34.819 --> 00:20:39.240
especially<00:20:35.299><c> in</c><00:20:35.779><c> the</c><00:20:36.019><c> highlands</c><00:20:36.440><c> of</c><00:20:36.700><c> Ararat,</c><00:20:37.279><c> where</c><00:20:38.000><c> obviously</c><00:20:38.500><c> Noah</c><00:20:38.720><c> was,</c><00:20:39.000><c> or</c>

universal<00:20:44.799><c> flood.</c>

00:20:45.259 --> 00:20:48.460
So<00:20:46.019><c> whichever</c><00:20:46.500><c> way</c><00:20:46.700><c> you</c><00:20:46.740><c> look</c><00:20:46.940><c> at</c><00:20:47.019><c> it,</c><00:20:47.400><c> he</c><00:20:47.660><c> certainly</c><00:20:48.099><c> moved</c>

with<00:20:48.740><c> fear</c><00:20:49.079><c> and</c><00:20:49.339><c> prepared</c>

00:20:49.779 --> 00:20:52.220
when<00:20:50.180><c> he</c><00:20:50.279><c> had</c><00:20:50.500><c> never</c><00:20:50.819><c> seen</c><00:20:51.119><c> the</c><00:20:51.299><c> things</c><00:20:51.460><c> that</c><00:20:51.700><c> God</c><00:20:51.940><c> had</c><00:20:52.160><c> said</c>

00:20:54.220 --> 00:20:57.680
As<00:20:54.359><c> verse</c><00:20:54.619><c> 3</c><00:20:54.920><c> says,</c><00:20:55.880><c> through</c><00:20:56.079><c> faith</c><00:20:56.400><c> we</c><00:20:56.579><c> understand</c><00:20:57.140><c> that</c><00:20:57.380><c> the</c>

00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:00.819

00:21:00.819 --> 00:21:05.980
so<00:21:01.660><c> that</c><00:21:01.779><c> from</c><00:21:02.059><c> things</c><00:21:02.420><c> not</c><00:21:03.140><c> then</c><00:21:03.440><c> seen,</c><00:21:03.920><c> the</c><00:21:03.980><c> things</c><00:21:04.259><c> now</c><00:21:04.799><c> made,</c><00:21:05.759><c> the</c>

00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:15.740
that<00:21:10.140><c> not</c><00:21:12.259><c> from</c><00:21:12.619><c> things</c><00:21:12.839><c> then</c><00:21:13.140><c> manifest,</c><00:21:13.680><c> the</c><00:21:13.759><c> things</c><00:21:14.079><c> now</c><00:21:14.539><c> seen</c><00:21:14.700><c> have</c><00:21:14.940><c> come</c><00:21:15.200><c> to</c><00:21:15.400><c> pass.</c>

00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:19.200
That's<00:21:16.599><c> the</c><00:21:16.660><c> commentary</c><00:21:16.960><c> upon</c><00:21:17.279><c> Noah's</c><00:21:17.680><c> faith,</c><00:21:18.700><c> that</c><00:21:18.880><c> not</c>

from<00:21:19.559><c> things</c><00:21:19.900><c> then</c><00:21:20.460><c> manifest,</c>

00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:24.240
the<00:21:21.420><c> things</c><00:21:21.880><c> now</c><00:21:22.400><c> seen</c><00:21:22.660><c> have</c><00:21:22.859><c> come</c><00:21:23.079><c> to</c><00:21:23.279><c> pass.</c>

00:21:24.259 --> 00:21:28.519
So<00:21:24.480><c> he</c><00:21:24.839><c> based</c><00:21:25.140><c> his</c><00:21:25.480><c> faith</c><00:21:25.700><c> upon</c><00:21:26.000><c> what</c><00:21:26.279><c> God</c><00:21:26.559><c> had</c><00:21:26.920><c> said</c><00:21:27.380><c> implicitly.</c>

00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:34.000
Now<00:21:28.980><c> we</c><00:21:29.160><c> say</c><00:21:29.460><c> Christ</c><00:21:29.839><c> is</c><00:21:30.079><c> coming,</c><00:21:32.259><c> but</c><00:21:32.400><c> where's</c><00:21:32.619><c> our</c><00:21:32.920><c> faith</c><00:21:33.140><c> based?</c>

00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:36.680
You<00:21:34.680><c> know,</c><00:21:34.900><c> brethren</c><00:21:35.079><c> and</c><00:21:35.339><c> sisters,</c><00:21:35.680><c> it's</c><00:21:35.920><c> scarcely</c><00:21:36.220><c> a</c><00:21:36.279><c> matter</c><00:21:36.480><c> of</c>

00:21:38.220 --> 00:21:40.700

00:21:59.339 --> 00:22:00.220
Incredible<00:21:59.839><c> things.</c>

00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.960
Now<00:22:00.799><c> Brother</c><00:22:01.019><c> Thomas</c><00:22:01.339><c> believed</c><00:22:01.799><c> them,</c><00:22:02.319><c> brethren</c><00:22:02.480><c> and</c><00:22:02.700><c> sisters,</c><00:22:03.819><c> when</c>

00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:06.259
they<00:22:04.160><c> were</c><00:22:04.440><c> not</c><00:22:04.940><c> then</c><00:22:05.539><c> manifest.</c>

00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:09.740
He<00:22:07.200><c> believed</c><00:22:07.599><c> it</c><00:22:07.839><c> so</c><00:22:08.039><c> much</c><00:22:08.299><c> so</c><00:22:08.460><c> that</c><00:22:08.579><c> he</c><00:22:08.839><c> evangelized</c><00:22:09.380><c> America</c>

00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.099
But<00:22:11.720><c> as</c><00:22:11.880><c> far</c><00:22:12.079><c> as</c><00:22:12.200><c> we're</c><00:22:12.539><c> concerned,</c><00:22:13.200><c> they've</c><00:22:13.519><c> come</c><00:22:13.779><c> to</c><00:22:14.099><c> pass.</c>

00:22:15.619 --> 00:22:17.640

00:22:17.859 --> 00:22:20.299
We<00:22:18.039><c> don't</c><00:22:18.240><c> have</c><00:22:18.460><c> to</c><00:22:18.720><c> really</c><00:22:19.000><c> have</c><00:22:19.200><c> the</c><00:22:19.400><c> faith</c><00:22:19.519><c> of</c><00:22:19.779><c> Noah</c><00:22:19.940><c> even.</c>

00:22:20.660 --> 00:22:23.079
I<00:22:20.779><c> mean,</c><00:22:21.039><c> our</c><00:22:21.200><c> faith</c><00:22:21.380><c> should</c><00:22:21.559><c> be</c><00:22:21.940><c> stronger,</c><00:22:22.599><c> if</c><00:22:22.759><c> anything.</c>

00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:25.599
Could<00:22:23.599><c> you</c><00:22:23.819><c> imagine</c><00:22:24.319><c> what</c><00:22:24.500><c> would</c><00:22:24.680><c> happen</c><00:22:24.900><c> if</c><00:22:25.099><c> Brother</c><00:22:25.359><c> Thomas</c>

00:22:27.980 --> 00:22:28.420
Incredible.

00:22:28.900 --> 00:22:30.940
And<00:22:29.019><c> that's</c><00:22:29.440><c> the</c><00:22:29.579><c> blessing</c><00:22:29.819><c> that</c><00:22:29.980><c> we</c><00:22:30.140><c> have,</c><00:22:30.420><c> brethren</c><00:22:30.579><c> and</c><00:22:30.779><c> sisters,</c>

00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:34.579
and<00:22:31.160><c> therefore</c><00:22:31.480><c> I</c><00:22:31.660><c> feel</c><00:22:32.039><c> that</c><00:22:32.319><c> there's</c><00:22:32.559><c> no</c><00:22:32.859><c> room</c><00:22:33.099><c> for</c><00:22:33.359><c> complacency</c><00:22:34.039><c> with</c><00:22:34.279><c> us.</c>

00:22:34.579 --> 00:22:39.259
The<00:22:35.339><c> things</c><00:22:35.640><c> were</c><00:22:35.900><c> not</c><00:22:36.160><c> yet</c><00:22:36.380><c> manifest</c><00:22:36.779><c> but</c><00:22:37.259><c> Noah</c><00:22:37.480><c> believed</c><00:22:38.079><c> them</c><00:22:38.680><c> and</c><00:22:39.000><c> he</c>

00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:43.660
He<00:22:41.859><c> moved</c><00:22:42.339><c> with</c><00:22:42.700><c> fear.</c>

00:22:43.859 --> 00:22:46.859
The<00:22:44.059><c> Greek</c><00:22:44.220><c> word</c><00:22:44.480><c> means</c><00:22:44.940><c> with</c><00:22:45.319><c> devout</c><00:22:45.859><c> care.</c>

00:22:47.259 --> 00:22:49.500
And<00:22:47.359><c> it's</c><00:22:47.559><c> exactly</c><00:22:47.920><c> the</c><00:22:48.180><c> same</c><00:22:48.359><c> as</c><00:22:48.559><c> that</c><00:22:48.740><c> word</c><00:22:48.940><c> which</c><00:22:49.099><c> was</c><00:22:49.339><c> used</c>

00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:54.000
when<00:22:51.380><c> it</c><00:22:51.599><c> says</c><00:22:51.740><c> that</c><00:22:52.000><c> through</c><00:22:52.259><c> strong</c><00:22:52.660><c> crying</c><00:22:52.960><c> and</c><00:22:53.359><c> tears</c><00:22:53.579><c> and</c>

00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:58.619
There<00:22:56.720><c> was</c><00:22:56.859><c> a</c><00:22:57.099><c> devout</c><00:22:57.579><c> care.</c>

00:22:59.140 --> 00:23:04.839
You<00:22:59.660><c> see,</c><00:23:00.019><c> brethren</c><00:23:00.160><c> and</c><00:23:00.359><c> sisters,</c><00:23:01.339><c> Noah</c><00:23:01.500><c> was</c><00:23:02.119><c> far</c><00:23:02.819><c> more</c><00:23:04.259><c> frightened,</c><00:23:04.680><c> you</c>

00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:05.319
might<00:23:05.059><c> say,</c>

00:23:05.339 --> 00:23:06.420
if<00:23:05.519><c> we</c><00:23:05.579><c> can</c><00:23:05.700><c> use</c><00:23:05.880><c> that</c><00:23:06.119><c> word.</c>

00:23:06.579 --> 00:23:09.200
He<00:23:06.779><c> was</c><00:23:07.000><c> far</c><00:23:07.319><c> more</c><00:23:07.680><c> fearful</c><00:23:08.019><c> of</c><00:23:08.319><c> the</c><00:23:08.519><c> Creator</c><00:23:08.700><c> than</c><00:23:08.839><c> he</c><00:23:08.980><c> ever</c>

00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:14.420
And<00:23:11.359><c> therefore</c><00:23:11.640><c> he</c><00:23:11.839><c> moved</c><00:23:12.180><c> with</c><00:23:12.759><c> devout</c><00:23:13.400><c> care.</c>

00:23:14.900 --> 00:23:17.740
And<00:23:15.079><c> one</c><00:23:15.259><c> can</c><00:23:15.579><c> see</c><00:23:15.740><c> him</c><00:23:15.940><c> going</c><00:23:16.220><c> about</c><00:23:16.599><c> supervising</c><00:23:17.220><c> the</c><00:23:17.400><c> building</c><00:23:17.599><c> of</c>

00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:10.340

00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:16.719
For<00:38:14.199><c> the</c><00:38:14.539><c> saving</c><00:38:14.840><c> of</c><00:38:15.079><c> our</c><00:38:15.300><c> house,</c><00:38:15.559><c> we</c><00:38:15.760><c> prepare</c><00:38:16.159><c> that</c><00:38:16.460><c> ark.</c>

00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:23.840
What<00:38:23.059><c> does</c><00:38:23.260><c> God</c><00:38:23.519><c> say?</c>

00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:25.579
That's<00:38:24.360><c> what</c><00:38:24.539><c> we</c><00:38:24.780><c> do.</c>

00:38:25.699 --> 00:38:28.559
And<00:38:25.820><c> Noah</c><00:38:25.980><c> did</c><00:38:26.219><c> that,</c><00:38:26.579><c> brethren</c><00:38:26.699><c> and</c><00:38:26.920><c> sisters,</c><00:38:27.420><c> so</c><00:38:27.719><c> assiduously</c><00:38:28.280><c> that</c><00:38:28.380><c> when</c>

00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:29.699
the<00:38:28.820><c> time</c><00:38:29.099><c> came,</c>

00:38:33.340 --> 00:38:35.320
Now,<00:38:33.500><c> there's</c><00:38:33.739><c> a</c><00:38:33.840><c> tremendous</c><00:38:34.460><c> warning</c><00:38:34.780><c> in</c><00:38:35.000><c> that.</c>

00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:37.639
He<00:38:35.960><c> practiced</c><00:38:36.360><c> what</c><00:38:36.559><c> he</c><00:38:36.780><c> preached.</c>

00:38:38.179 --> 00:38:39.360
You<00:38:38.219><c> know,</c><00:38:38.440><c> Paul</c><00:38:38.659><c> says</c><00:38:38.880><c> that.</c>

00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:41.420
He<00:38:39.719><c> says</c><00:38:39.820><c> he</c><00:38:39.980><c> condemned</c><00:38:40.340><c> the</c><00:38:40.599><c> world.</c>

00:38:41.940 --> 00:38:43.079
He<00:38:42.199><c> condemned</c><00:38:42.539><c> the</c><00:38:42.780><c> world.</c>

00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:44.119
How<00:38:43.380><c> did</c><00:38:43.480><c> he</c><00:38:43.579><c> condemn</c><00:38:43.840><c> the</c><00:38:44.039><c> world?</c>

00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:45.860
He<00:38:44.239><c> did</c><00:38:44.360><c> it</c><00:38:44.500><c> in</c><00:38:44.599><c> two</c><00:38:44.860><c> ways.</c>

00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:49.159
The<00:38:46.599><c> building</c><00:38:46.840><c> of</c><00:38:47.000><c> that</c><00:38:47.139><c> boat</c><00:38:47.260><c> was</c><00:38:47.500><c> a</c><00:38:47.639><c> condemnation</c><00:38:48.119><c> of</c><00:38:48.260><c> the</c><00:38:48.380><c> world.</c>

00:38:49.579 --> 00:38:51.599
He<00:38:49.699><c> said</c><00:38:49.860><c> to</c><00:38:49.960><c> the</c><00:38:50.119><c> world,</c><00:38:50.519><c> God</c><00:38:50.699><c> doesn't</c><00:38:50.960><c> like</c><00:38:51.159><c> the</c><00:38:51.239><c> way</c><00:38:51.400><c> you're</c>

00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:54.199
They<00:38:52.699><c> laughed</c><00:38:53.019><c> at</c><00:38:53.139><c> him.</c>

00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:56.699
And<00:38:55.059><c> he</c><00:38:55.219><c> started</c><00:38:55.460><c> hammering</c><00:38:55.900><c> nails</c><00:38:56.099><c> into</c><00:38:56.420><c> planks.</c>

00:38:56.820 --> 00:38:58.559
And<00:38:56.920><c> every</c><00:38:57.079><c> time</c><00:38:57.199><c> he</c><00:38:57.380><c> hammered</c><00:38:57.579><c> a</c><00:38:57.719><c> nail</c><00:38:57.880><c> in,</c><00:38:58.139><c> brethren</c><00:38:58.260><c> and</c><00:38:58.440><c> sisters,</c>

00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:00.460

00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:02.800
And<00:39:01.280><c> as</c><00:39:01.400><c> they</c><00:39:01.579><c> watched</c><00:39:01.760><c> those</c><00:39:02.079><c> planks</c><00:39:02.260><c> go</c><00:39:02.519><c> together,</c>

00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:05.159
they<00:39:03.119><c> were</c><00:39:03.280><c> watching</c><00:39:03.539><c> him</c><00:39:03.800><c> build</c><00:39:04.039><c> their</c><00:39:04.320><c> coffin.</c>

00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:06.599
He<00:39:05.579><c> condemned</c><00:39:06.059><c> the</c><00:39:06.320><c> world.</c>

00:39:06.820 --> 00:39:08.920
He<00:39:06.980><c> was</c><00:39:07.179><c> building</c><00:39:07.500><c> a</c><00:39:07.639><c> house</c><00:39:07.860><c> of</c><00:39:08.119><c> safety</c><00:39:08.380><c> for</c><00:39:08.579><c> himself,</c>

00:39:11.780 --> 00:39:13.159
Because<00:39:12.019><c> they</c><00:39:12.260><c> weren't</c><00:39:12.420><c> going</c><00:39:12.579><c> to</c><00:39:12.659><c> get</c><00:39:12.739><c> in</c><00:39:12.800><c> that</c><00:39:13.019><c> boat.</c>

00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:14.619
It<00:39:13.239><c> would</c><00:39:13.380><c> have</c><00:39:13.500><c> been</c><00:39:13.739><c> foolishness</c><00:39:14.159><c> to</c><00:39:14.280><c> do</c><00:39:14.400><c> that.</c>

00:39:14.619 --> 00:39:16.159
They<00:39:14.920><c> would</c><00:39:15.099><c> have</c><00:39:15.219><c> to</c><00:39:15.360><c> humiliate</c><00:39:15.800><c> themselves.</c>

00:39:16.219 --> 00:39:17.980
They'd<00:39:16.480><c> have</c><00:39:16.559><c> to</c><00:39:16.659><c> admit</c><00:39:16.840><c> that</c><00:39:16.980><c> he</c><00:39:17.139><c> was</c><00:39:17.340><c> right</c><00:39:17.480><c> and</c><00:39:17.539><c> they</c><00:39:17.659><c> were</c><00:39:17.860><c> wrong.</c>

00:39:18.039 --> 00:39:18.679
He's<00:39:18.340><c> a</c><00:39:18.500><c> loony.</c>

00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:20.400
You<00:39:18.880><c> don't</c><00:39:19.139><c> associate</c><00:39:19.559><c> with</c><00:39:19.739><c> a</c><00:39:19.940><c> lunatic.</c>

00:39:20.900 --> 00:39:22.940
He's<00:39:21.260><c> a</c><00:39:21.440><c> laughable</c><00:39:21.920><c> character.</c>

00:39:23.139 --> 00:39:26.079
And<00:39:23.320><c> everything</c><00:39:23.579><c> he</c><00:39:23.800><c> did</c><00:39:23.840><c> on</c><00:39:23.980><c> that</c><00:39:24.179><c> boat</c><00:39:24.280><c> was</c><00:39:24.639><c> a</c><00:39:24.780><c> standing</c><00:39:25.119><c> condemnation</c><00:39:25.900><c> to</c>

00:39:27.219 --> 00:39:30.380
And<00:39:27.420><c> Peter</c><00:39:27.619><c> says</c><00:39:27.900><c> he</c><00:39:28.000><c> was</c><00:39:28.219><c> a</c><00:39:28.500><c> preacher</c><00:39:28.920><c> of</c><00:39:29.460><c> righteousness.</c>

00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:32.219
So<00:39:30.800><c> he</c><00:39:30.980><c> condemned</c><00:39:31.199><c> the</c><00:39:31.400><c> world</c><00:39:31.500><c> in</c><00:39:31.719><c> two</c><00:39:31.880><c> ways.</c>

00:39:32.460 --> 00:39:34.579
He<00:39:32.719><c> condemned</c><00:39:32.960><c> them</c><00:39:33.119><c> by</c><00:39:33.300><c> his</c><00:39:33.500><c> actions</c><00:39:33.699><c> and</c><00:39:33.860><c> he</c><00:39:34.079><c> condemned</c><00:39:34.239><c> them</c><00:39:34.380><c> by</c>

we<00:42:00.920><c> would</c><00:42:01.260><c> say</c><00:42:01.579><c> that</c><00:42:01.820><c> that</c><00:42:02.039><c> man</c><00:42:02.440><c> was</c><00:42:03.059><c> righteous.</c>

00:42:03.659 --> 00:42:06.460
Paul<00:42:04.440><c> never</c><00:42:04.619><c> said</c><00:42:04.900><c> that.</c>

00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:09.719
He<00:42:07.159><c> said</c><00:42:07.360><c> he</c><00:42:07.480><c> became</c><00:42:07.940><c> the</c><00:42:08.679><c> heir.</c>

00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:11.619
What's<00:42:10.699><c> an</c><00:42:10.880><c> heir?</c>

00:42:15.340 --> 00:42:17.119
As<00:42:15.820><c> long</c><00:42:16.079><c> as</c><00:42:16.239><c> you</c><00:42:16.360><c> are</c><00:42:16.579><c> an</c><00:42:16.760><c> heir,</c>

00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:19.019
you<00:42:17.440><c> haven't</c><00:42:17.639><c> got</c><00:42:17.840><c> your</c><00:42:17.960><c> possession</c><00:42:18.380><c> and</c><00:42:18.559><c> your</c><00:42:18.699><c> inheritance.</c>

00:42:19.219 --> 00:42:19.719
Is<00:42:19.280><c> that</c><00:42:19.460><c> right?</c>

00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:21.659
If<00:42:20.179><c> you</c><00:42:20.420><c> have</c><00:42:20.619><c> entered</c><00:42:20.739><c> upon</c><00:42:21.059><c> an</c><00:42:21.340><c> inheritance,</c>

00:42:21.900 --> 00:42:23.519
then<00:42:22.039><c> you</c><00:42:22.159><c> are</c><00:42:22.360><c> no</c><00:42:22.619><c> longer</c><00:42:22.920><c> an</c><00:42:23.219><c> heir.</c>

00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:26.079
Here's<00:42:24.179><c> a</c><00:42:24.199><c> list</c><00:42:24.440><c> of</c><00:42:24.679><c> Noah's</c><00:42:25.079><c> actions</c><00:42:25.440><c> by</c><00:42:25.800><c> faith</c>

00:42:26.079 --> 00:42:31.280
and<00:42:26.340><c> he</c><00:42:26.579><c> is</c><00:42:27.000><c> still</c><00:42:28.199><c> the</c><00:42:29.980><c> heir</c><00:42:30.179><c> of</c><00:42:30.420><c> righteousness.</c>

00:42:31.579 --> 00:42:34.699
That<00:42:32.179><c> is</c><00:42:32.480><c> an</c><00:42:32.679><c> incredible</c><00:42:33.619><c> statement.</c>

00:42:35.300 --> 00:42:36.360
Why?

00:42:36.420 --> 00:42:38.980
Because<00:42:36.719><c> you</c><00:42:36.920><c> see,</c><00:42:37.320><c> all</c><00:42:37.920><c> that</c><00:42:38.260><c> Noah</c><00:42:38.380><c> did</c>

00:42:38.980 --> 00:42:43.019
was<00:42:39.820><c> based</c><00:42:40.239><c> upon</c><00:42:40.719><c> the</c><00:42:41.239><c> supreme</c><00:42:41.860><c> belief</c><00:42:42.360><c> in</c><00:42:42.719><c> somebody</c>

00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:46.280
higher<00:42:44.000><c> and</c><00:42:44.400><c> greater</c><00:42:44.860><c> than</c><00:42:45.139><c> himself.</c>

00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:49.159
And<00:42:47.099><c> until</c><00:42:47.400><c> the</c><00:42:47.599><c> great</c><00:42:47.900><c> confirmation</c><00:42:48.480><c> of</c><00:42:48.639><c> that</c><00:42:48.800><c> purpose</c>

00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:50.780
in<00:42:49.280><c> which</c><00:42:49.420><c> he</c><00:42:49.639><c> had</c><00:42:49.980><c> faith,</c>

00:42:51.139 --> 00:42:53.500
of<00:42:51.360><c> the</c><00:42:51.599><c> righteousness</c><00:42:52.000><c> for</c><00:42:52.239><c> which</c><00:42:52.380><c> he</c><00:42:52.639><c> looked</c><00:42:52.880><c> for,</c>

00:42:53.800 --> 00:42:56.659
then<00:42:53.940><c> Noah</c><00:42:54.119><c> could</c><00:42:54.360><c> be</c><00:42:54.579><c> nothing</c><00:42:54.800><c> else</c><00:42:55.099><c> but</c><00:42:55.440><c> the</c><00:42:55.800><c> heir.</c>

00:42:57.039 --> 00:42:59.360
But<00:42:57.239><c> the</c><00:42:57.500><c> incredible</c><00:42:58.059><c> part</c><00:42:58.340><c> about</c><00:42:58.519><c> that</c><00:42:58.699><c> thing</c><00:42:58.820><c> is</c><00:42:59.059><c> this,</c>

00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:01.880
that<00:42:59.739><c> the</c><00:42:59.940><c> Jews</c><00:43:00.099><c> would</c><00:43:00.300><c> look</c><00:43:00.519><c> upon</c><00:43:00.780><c> the</c><00:43:01.139><c> actions</c><00:43:01.480><c> of</c><00:43:01.800><c> Noah</c>

00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:03.659
in<00:43:02.119><c> a</c><00:43:02.219><c> completely</c><00:43:03.039><c> different</c><00:43:03.400><c> light.</c>

00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:05.500
They<00:43:03.800><c> would</c><00:43:03.960><c> list</c><00:43:04.179><c> all</c><00:43:04.500><c> the</c><00:43:04.639><c> wonderful</c><00:43:04.920><c> things</c><00:43:05.119><c> that</c><00:43:05.260><c> he</c><00:43:05.320><c> did</c>

00:43:05.500 --> 00:43:07.780
and<00:43:05.679><c> say</c><00:43:05.800><c> that</c><00:43:05.940><c> he</c><00:43:06.019><c> was</c><00:43:06.320><c> definitely</c><00:43:06.800><c> a</c><00:43:07.139><c> righteous</c><00:43:07.440><c> man.</c>

00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:09.239
So<00:43:08.179><c> he</c><00:43:08.360><c> was.</c>

00:43:09.260 --> 00:43:11.019
No<00:43:09.480><c> one's</c><00:43:09.780><c> disputing</c><00:43:10.139><c> that.</c>

00:43:11.099 --> 00:43:13.239
But<00:43:11.320><c> righteousness</c><00:43:11.800><c> to</c><00:43:12.039><c> them</c><00:43:12.280><c> and</c><00:43:12.480><c> righteousness</c><00:43:12.840><c> to</c><00:43:13.139><c> Paul</c>

00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:14.219
were<00:43:13.440><c> two</c><00:43:13.659><c> different</c><00:43:13.840><c> things.</c>

00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:16.159
And<00:43:14.659><c> after</c><00:43:15.019><c> all</c><00:43:15.460><c> the</c><00:43:15.579><c> things</c><00:43:15.739><c> that</c><00:43:15.880><c> he</c><00:43:15.960><c> did,</c>

00:43:16.179 --> 00:43:19.320
he<00:43:16.360><c> became</c><00:43:16.880><c> the</c><00:43:17.360><c> heir</c><00:43:17.679><c> of</c><00:43:18.059><c> the</c><00:43:18.239><c> righteousness</c><00:43:18.699><c> of</c><00:43:19.099><c> faith.</c>

00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:21.780
Now<00:43:19.840><c> I</c><00:43:19.900><c> want</c><00:43:20.000><c> to</c><00:43:20.099><c> show</c><00:43:20.219><c> you</c><00:43:20.320><c> what</c><00:43:20.480><c> Genesis</c><00:43:20.820><c> says.</c>

00:43:21.980 --> 00:43:23.719
You<00:43:22.059><c> look</c><00:43:22.199><c> at</c><00:43:22.340><c> this.</c>

00:43:26.139 --> 00:43:29.480
What<00:43:26.980><c> sort</c><00:43:27.360><c> of</c><00:43:27.599><c> righteousness</c><00:43:27.960><c> did</c><00:43:28.219><c> he</c><00:43:28.340><c> have?</c>

00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:32.659
Whose<00:43:30.059><c> righteousness</c><00:43:30.639><c> was</c><00:43:30.960><c> it?</c>

00:43:41.019 --> 00:43:44.119
In<00:43:41.860><c> Genesis</c><00:43:42.280><c> chapter</c><00:43:42.679><c> 7,</c>

00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:48.539
a<00:43:44.800><c> rather</c><00:43:45.760><c> important</c><00:43:46.780><c> expression</c><00:43:47.260><c> is</c><00:43:47.559><c> found.</c>

00:43:49.480 --> 00:43:52.139
I<00:43:49.679><c> believe</c><00:43:49.940><c> which</c><00:43:50.179><c> Paul</c><00:43:50.440><c> is</c><00:43:50.659><c> alluding</c><00:43:50.960><c> to.</c>

00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:54.380
Genesis<00:43:52.840><c> 7</c><00:43:53.219><c> and</c><00:43:53.400><c> verse</c><00:43:53.599><c> 1.</c>

00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:08.340
Now<00:44:02.360><c> he</c><00:44:03.239><c> doesn't</c><00:44:07.280><c> use</c><00:44:07.599><c> the</c><00:44:07.900><c> expression</c>

00:44:08.340 --> 00:44:13.179
because<00:44:08.940><c> you</c><00:44:09.599><c> are</c><00:44:10.360><c> righteous</c><00:44:10.920><c> in</c><00:44:11.900><c> yourself,</c>

00:44:13.460 --> 00:44:15.199
but<00:44:13.679><c> the</c><00:44:14.019><c> important</c><00:44:14.320><c> expression</c><00:44:14.760><c> is</c>

00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:18.219
I<00:44:15.559><c> have</c><00:44:16.280><c> seen</c><00:44:16.900><c> you</c><00:44:17.400><c> to</c><00:44:17.599><c> be</c><00:44:17.800><c> righteous</c>

00:44:18.219 --> 00:44:22.400

00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:25.139
So<00:44:23.360><c> Yahweh</c><00:44:23.679><c> observed</c><00:44:24.300><c> in</c><00:44:24.519><c> his</c><00:44:24.780><c> actions,</c>

00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:25.960
brethren<00:44:25.460><c> and</c><00:44:25.679><c> sisters,</c>

00:44:26.099 --> 00:44:28.119
not<00:44:26.440><c> the</c><00:44:26.679><c> actions</c><00:44:27.099><c> of</c><00:44:27.340><c> a</c><00:44:27.480><c> man</c>

00:44:28.119 --> 00:44:30.360
righteous<00:44:28.900><c> according</c><00:44:29.400><c> to</c><00:44:29.480><c> what</c><00:44:29.639><c> he</c><00:44:29.960><c> did</c>

00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:31.559
because<00:44:30.860><c> he</c><00:44:31.000><c> did</c><00:44:31.199><c> it,</c>

00:44:31.940 --> 00:44:34.239
but<00:44:32.219><c> the</c><00:44:32.500><c> actions</c><00:44:32.800><c> of</c><00:44:33.019><c> a</c><00:44:33.159><c> man</c><00:44:33.340><c> which</c><00:44:33.659><c> showed</c><00:44:33.860><c> his</c>

00:44:37.099 --> 00:44:38.539
A<00:44:37.340><c> completely</c><00:44:37.840><c> different</c><00:44:38.179><c> motive.</c>

00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:43.780
Therefore<00:44:39.320><c> Yahweh</c><00:44:39.920><c> seen</c><00:44:40.460><c> him</c><00:44:41.860><c> righteous</c><00:44:42.619><c> before</c><00:44:43.219><c> me.</c>

00:44:44.179 --> 00:44:47.099
Now<00:44:44.360><c> you</c><00:44:44.519><c> turn</c><00:44:44.739><c> back</c><00:44:44.980><c> a</c><00:44:45.159><c> page</c><00:44:45.420><c> and</c><00:44:45.619><c> listen</c><00:44:45.860><c> to</c><00:44:46.039><c> this.</c>

00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:50.260
Well,<00:44:48.579><c> invert</c><00:44:49.099><c> the</c><00:44:49.360><c> order</c><00:44:49.519><c> of</c><00:44:49.699><c> these</c><00:44:49.940><c> verses</c>

00:44:56.019 --> 00:44:59.119
Noah<00:44:56.380><c> was</c><00:44:56.780><c> a</c><00:44:57.340><c> just</c><00:44:57.719><c> man,</c>

he's<00:47:27.840><c> an</c><00:47:27.980><c> heir</c><00:47:28.159><c> and</c><00:47:28.340><c> nothing</c><00:47:28.519><c> more</c><00:47:28.800><c> than</c><00:47:29.000><c> an</c><00:47:29.000><c> heir</c>

00:47:29.099 --> 00:47:31.380
and<00:47:29.260><c> he</c><00:47:29.260><c> doesn't</c><00:47:29.639><c> differ</c><00:47:29.960><c> from</c><00:47:30.179><c> the</c><00:47:30.380><c> servant.</c>

00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:34.420
That's<00:47:32.260><c> Paul's</c><00:47:32.539><c> exposition</c><00:47:32.920><c> of</c><00:47:33.079><c> what</c><00:47:33.280><c> an</c><00:47:33.380><c> heir</c><00:47:33.460><c> is.</c>

00:47:34.820 --> 00:47:38.019
Now,<00:47:35.360><c> after</c><00:47:35.440><c> giving</c><00:47:36.199><c> all</c><00:47:36.780><c> the</c><00:47:36.980><c> things</c><00:47:37.139><c> that</c><00:47:37.360><c> Noah</c><00:47:37.500><c> did,</c>

00:47:38.460 --> 00:47:39.579
at<00:47:38.639><c> the</c><00:47:38.719><c> end</c><00:47:38.880><c> of</c><00:47:39.000><c> his</c><00:47:39.239><c> life,</c>

00:47:39.860 --> 00:47:43.679
he<00:47:40.000><c> became</c><00:47:40.739><c> then</c><00:47:41.179><c> an</c><00:47:41.500><c> heir,</c><00:47:42.900><c> then.</c>

00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:47.239
So<00:47:44.460><c> he's</c><00:47:44.639><c> still</c><00:47:45.099><c> not</c><00:47:45.420><c> commending</c><00:47:45.820><c> himself</c><00:47:46.420><c> in</c><00:47:46.679><c> God's</c><00:47:47.099><c> eyes</c>

00:47:47.239 --> 00:47:49.699
by<00:47:47.440><c> what</c><00:47:47.679><c> he</c><00:47:48.079><c> did</c><00:47:48.340><c> in</c><00:47:48.599><c> himself.</c>

00:47:50.059 --> 00:47:52.599
But<00:47:50.360><c> what</c><00:47:50.719><c> he</c><00:47:50.940><c> did,</c><00:47:51.179><c> Gordon,</c><00:47:51.679><c> was</c><00:47:51.840><c> an</c><00:47:52.099><c> expression</c>

00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:57.320
of<00:47:53.380><c> his</c><00:47:53.639><c> belief</c><00:47:54.139><c> in</c><00:47:54.519><c> somebody</c><00:47:55.000><c> greater</c><00:47:55.760><c> and</c><00:47:56.460><c> above</c><00:47:56.659><c> himself.</c>

00:47:57.320 --> 00:47:59.619
Do<00:47:57.760><c> you</c><00:47:58.360><c> understand</c><00:47:58.739><c> that?</c>

00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:03.679
See,<00:48:01.800><c> it's</c><00:48:02.280><c> a</c><00:48:02.280><c> completely</c><00:48:02.840><c> different</c><00:48:03.300><c> motive.</c>

00:48:04.059 --> 00:48:06.420
If<00:48:04.119><c> we</c><00:48:04.360><c> go</c><00:48:04.579><c> about</c><00:48:04.780><c> to</c><00:48:05.019><c> establish</c><00:48:05.380><c> our</c><00:48:05.719><c> own</c><00:48:06.059><c> righteousness,</c>

00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:08.440
then<00:48:06.780><c> we</c><00:48:07.079><c> say</c><00:48:07.219><c> that</c><00:48:07.420><c> at</c><00:48:07.519><c> a</c><00:48:07.559><c> given</c><00:48:07.739><c> point</c><00:48:08.019><c> of</c><00:48:08.239><c> time,</c>

00:48:08.579 --> 00:48:10.239
having<00:48:08.699><c> done</c><00:48:09.000><c> this,</c><00:48:09.420><c> this,</c><00:48:09.639><c> this</c><00:48:09.880><c> and</c><00:48:09.960><c> this,</c>

00:48:10.420 --> 00:48:12.019
we<00:48:10.579><c> are</c><00:48:10.920><c> righteous.</c>

00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:14.639
But<00:48:12.639><c> God</c><00:48:12.840><c> doesn't</c><00:48:13.179><c> see</c><00:48:13.460><c> it</c><00:48:13.599><c> that</c><00:48:13.780><c> way.</c>

00:48:15.139 --> 00:48:16.619
Simply<00:48:15.400><c> because</c><00:48:15.719><c> the</c><00:48:15.960><c> Creator,</c><00:48:16.260><c> of</c><00:48:16.500><c> course,</c>

00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:18.699
doesn't<00:48:16.900><c> make</c><00:48:17.139><c> any</c><00:48:17.840><c> allowance</c><00:48:18.280><c> for</c><00:48:18.579><c> sin.</c>

00:48:18.960 --> 00:48:20.739
The<00:48:19.260><c> Creator</c><00:48:19.500><c> makes</c><00:48:19.780><c> no</c><00:48:20.019><c> allowance</c><00:48:20.400><c> for</c><00:48:20.639><c> sin.</c>

00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:23.739
He<00:48:20.880><c> doesn't</c><00:48:21.039><c> look</c><00:48:21.239><c> upon</c><00:48:21.519><c> sin</c><00:48:21.679><c> with</c><00:48:21.860><c> any</c><00:48:22.039><c> degree</c><00:48:22.219><c> of</c><00:48:22.440><c> allowance,</c><00:48:22.739><c> whatever.</c>

00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:26.519
Therefore,<00:48:24.519><c> there</c><00:48:24.679><c> never</c><00:48:24.860><c> can</c><00:48:25.260><c> be</c><00:48:25.480><c> a</c><00:48:25.619><c> question</c><00:48:25.860><c> of</c><00:48:26.099><c> flesh</c>

00:48:26.519 --> 00:48:29.039
establishing<00:48:27.440><c> his</c><00:48:27.900><c> righteousness</c><00:48:28.239><c> before</c><00:48:28.679><c> God.</c>

00:48:29.380 --> 00:48:31.280
And<00:48:29.519><c> even</c><00:48:29.659><c> in</c><00:48:29.880><c> the</c><00:48:29.880><c> case</c><00:48:30.119><c> of</c><00:48:30.280><c> the</c><00:48:30.340><c> Lord</c><00:48:30.539><c> Jesus</c><00:48:30.960><c> Christ,</c>

00:48:31.340 --> 00:48:33.000
a<00:48:31.599><c> perfect</c><00:48:32.039><c> man,</c>

00:48:33.199 --> 00:48:35.719
he<00:48:33.340><c> never</c><00:48:33.619><c> claimed</c><00:48:33.880><c> it</c><00:48:34.000><c> in</c><00:48:34.119><c> this</c><00:48:34.239><c> stage</c><00:48:34.440><c> of</c><00:48:34.559><c> his</c><00:48:34.780><c> life,</c>

00:48:35.820 --> 00:48:36.840
to<00:48:36.019><c> be</c><00:48:36.320><c> righteous.</c>

00:48:37.099 --> 00:48:38.900
Why<00:48:37.360><c> call</c><00:48:37.579><c> us</c><00:48:37.739><c> thou</c><00:48:37.900><c> me</c><00:48:38.139><c> good?</c>

00:48:39.500 --> 00:48:40.980
But<00:48:39.679><c> he</c><00:48:39.840><c> was</c><00:48:40.059><c> good.</c>

00:48:41.340 --> 00:48:42.699
But<00:48:41.480><c> what</c><00:48:41.639><c> he</c><00:48:41.760><c> meant</c><00:48:41.860><c> by</c><00:48:42.139><c> that</c><00:48:42.400><c> was,</c>

00:48:42.860 --> 00:48:45.179
I<00:48:43.099><c> haven't</c><00:48:43.400><c> established</c><00:48:43.860><c> this</c><00:48:44.119><c> that</c><00:48:44.300><c> you</c><00:48:44.480><c> see</c><00:48:44.639><c> before</c><00:48:45.000><c> you</c>

00:48:45.179 --> 00:48:48.019
on<00:48:45.380><c> the</c><00:48:45.539><c> basis</c><00:48:45.760><c> of</c><00:48:45.940><c> my</c><00:48:46.079><c> own</c><00:48:46.380><c> strength,</c><00:48:46.719><c> my</c><00:48:46.840><c> own</c><00:48:47.119><c> belief,</c>

my<00:48:48.340><c> own</c><00:48:48.639><c> imagination,</c><00:48:50.179><c> my</c><00:48:50.420><c> own</c><00:48:50.679><c> power.</c>

00:48:51.019 --> 00:48:52.440
I've<00:48:51.280><c> not</c><00:48:51.500><c> done</c><00:48:51.639><c> any</c><00:48:51.820><c> of</c><00:48:51.900><c> those</c><00:48:52.119><c> things.</c>

00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:56.619
I<00:48:53.139><c> am</c><00:48:53.519><c> utterly</c><00:48:54.099><c> dependent</c><00:48:54.500><c> upon</c><00:48:54.760><c> all</c><00:48:55.019><c> that</c><00:48:55.119><c> God</c><00:48:55.420><c> said</c><00:48:55.900><c> and</c><00:48:56.179><c> does</c>

00:48:56.619 --> 00:48:58.960
and<00:48:56.940><c> his</c><00:48:57.199><c> influence</c><00:48:57.480><c> upon</c><00:48:57.760><c> me,</c><00:48:58.239><c> apart</c><00:48:58.480><c> from</c><00:48:58.699><c> which</c>

00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:00.860
there<00:48:59.239><c> is</c><00:48:59.619><c> none</c><00:48:59.940><c> good.</c>

00:49:01.099 --> 00:49:02.619
And<00:49:01.239><c> until</c><00:49:01.539><c> the</c><00:49:01.699><c> Lord</c><00:49:01.860><c> had</c><00:49:02.059><c> come</c><00:49:02.219><c> to</c><00:49:02.380><c> a</c><00:49:02.480><c> point,</c>

00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:04.840
brothers<00:49:02.860><c> and</c><00:49:03.000><c> sisters,</c><00:49:03.900><c> after</c><00:49:04.219><c> the</c><00:49:04.440><c> third</c><00:49:04.659><c> day</c>

00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:07.059
when<00:49:04.940><c> he</c><00:49:05.019><c> was</c><00:49:05.199><c> to</c><00:49:05.320><c> be</c><00:49:05.480><c> made</c><00:49:05.780><c> perfect</c><00:49:06.059><c> in</c><00:49:06.159><c> his</c><00:49:06.360><c> own</c><00:49:06.639><c> words,</c>

00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:10.840
then<00:49:07.619><c> he</c><00:49:08.719><c> was</c><00:49:09.119><c> an</c><00:49:09.460><c> heir</c><00:49:09.820><c> of</c><00:49:10.239><c> the</c><00:49:10.420><c> righteousness</c>

00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:12.320
which<00:49:11.139><c> is</c><00:49:11.300><c> of</c><00:49:11.519><c> faith.</c>

00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:15.800
But<00:49:13.619><c> he's</c><00:49:13.760><c> no</c><00:49:13.960><c> longer</c><00:49:14.139><c> the</c><00:49:14.380><c> heir</c><00:49:14.539><c> of</c><00:49:14.780><c> righteousness,</c>

which<00:49:16.400><c> is</c><00:49:16.599><c> of</c><00:49:16.780><c> faith.</c>

00:49:17.320 --> 00:49:18.380
He's<00:49:17.739><c> got</c><00:49:17.900><c> that.</c>

00:49:18.559 --> 00:49:20.360
Because<00:49:18.820><c> he</c><00:49:18.960><c> sits</c><00:49:19.179><c> at</c><00:49:19.320><c> the</c><00:49:19.519><c> Father's</c><00:49:19.880><c> right</c><00:49:20.099><c> hand,</c>

00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:21.980
he<00:49:21.019><c> is</c><00:49:21.019><c> crowned</c><00:49:21.079><c> with</c><00:49:21.239><c> the</c><00:49:21.420><c> Father's</c><00:49:21.780><c> nature.</c>

00:49:22.099 --> 00:49:23.420
And<00:49:22.159><c> all</c><00:49:22.519><c> that</c><00:49:22.719><c> the</c><00:49:22.840><c> Father</c><00:49:23.059><c> is,</c>

00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:28.519

it<00:49:28.880><c> can</c><00:49:29.139><c> be</c><00:49:29.360><c> said</c><00:49:29.460><c> with</c><00:49:29.699><c> the</c><00:49:29.920><c> greatest</c><00:49:30.179><c> degree</c><00:49:30.420><c> of</c><00:49:30.659><c> certainty</c>

that<00:49:31.119><c> he</c><00:49:31.320><c> is</c><00:49:31.579><c> righteous.</c>

00:49:33.300 --> 00:49:34.659
Because<00:49:33.619><c> he</c><00:49:33.780><c> has</c><00:49:34.039><c> now</c><00:49:34.340><c> there,</c>

00:49:34.780 --> 00:49:36.840

00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:39.860
as<00:49:37.280><c> one</c><00:49:37.559><c> whose</c><00:49:37.840><c> faith</c><00:49:38.179><c> was</c><00:49:38.599><c> crowned</c><00:49:39.059><c> by</c><00:49:39.300><c> God</c>

00:49:39.860 --> 00:49:42.380
with<00:49:40.380><c> the</c><00:49:40.579><c> immortality</c><00:49:41.039><c> that</c><00:49:41.139><c> was</c><00:49:41.400><c> promised</c><00:49:41.739><c> to</c><00:49:42.199><c> him</c>

00:49:42.380 --> 00:49:43.599
from<00:49:42.559><c> the</c><00:49:42.719><c> foundation</c><00:49:43.139><c> of</c><00:49:43.300><c> the</c><00:49:43.420><c> world.</c>

00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:45.980
Now<00:49:44.119><c> all</c><00:49:44.539><c> that</c><00:49:44.780><c> Noah</c><00:49:44.920><c> did</c><00:49:45.199><c> was</c><00:49:45.400><c> an</c><00:49:45.619><c> expression</c>

00:49:45.980 --> 00:49:47.280
of<00:49:46.219><c> his</c><00:49:46.539><c> hope</c><00:49:46.739><c> of</c><00:49:46.940><c> that.</c>

00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:49.659
And<00:49:48.239><c> therefore</c><00:49:48.679><c> what</c><00:49:49.000><c> Noah</c><00:49:49.219><c> did</c>

00:49:49.659 --> 00:49:52.739
did<00:49:50.019><c> not</c><00:49:50.239><c> commend</c><00:49:50.539><c> him</c><00:49:50.800><c> to</c><00:49:50.860><c> God</c><00:49:51.119><c> as</c><00:49:51.400><c> a</c><00:49:51.500><c> series</c><00:49:51.800><c> of</c><00:49:52.119><c> good</c><00:49:52.320><c> works,</c>

00:49:53.019 --> 00:49:56.780
but<00:49:53.179><c> as</c><00:49:53.340><c> an</c><00:49:53.500><c> expression</c><00:49:54.079><c> of</c><00:49:54.219><c> what</c><00:49:54.360><c> he</c><00:49:54.599><c> always</c><00:49:55.039><c> was</c><00:49:55.260><c> hoping</c><00:49:55.500><c> for.</c>

00:49:56.840 --> 00:49:59.619
When<00:49:57.159><c> Christ</c><00:49:57.519><c> comes,</c><00:49:57.900><c> he</c><00:49:57.900><c> won't</c><00:49:58.079><c> be</c><00:49:58.260><c> any</c><00:49:58.559><c> longer</c><00:49:58.800><c> the</c><00:49:59.139><c> heir.</c>

00:49:59.920 --> 00:50:02.019
He<00:50:00.119><c> will</c><00:50:00.320><c> actually</c><00:50:00.619><c> possess</c><00:50:00.980><c> that.</c>

00:50:03.619 --> 00:50:06.739
Now,<00:50:05.400><c> speaking</c><00:50:05.639><c> about</c><00:50:05.980><c> the</c><00:50:06.239><c> righteousness</c>

00:50:06.739 --> 00:50:09.380
which<00:50:07.219><c> is</c><00:50:07.400><c> by</c><00:50:07.719><c> faith,</c><00:50:08.480><c> of</c><00:50:08.800><c> course,</c>

00:50:09.840 --> 00:50:12.400
who<00:50:10.099><c> else</c><00:50:10.340><c> would</c><00:50:10.519><c> he</c><00:50:10.679><c> introduce</c><00:50:11.079><c> but</c><00:50:11.340><c> Abraham?</c>

00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:16.480
Now,<00:50:15.579><c> I</c><00:50:15.780><c> know</c><00:50:15.940><c> this</c><00:50:16.079><c> is</c><00:50:16.159><c> difficult,</c>

00:50:16.480 --> 00:50:18.440
brothers<00:50:16.739><c> and</c><00:50:16.940><c> sisters,</c><00:50:17.219><c> to</c><00:50:17.440><c> comprehend.</c>

00:50:18.500 --> 00:50:20.940
It<00:50:18.579><c> takes</c><00:50:18.820><c> more</c><00:50:19.079><c> thinking</c><00:50:19.380><c> about</c><00:50:19.719><c> than</c><00:50:19.860><c> anything</c><00:50:20.099><c> else.</c>

00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:24.000
But<00:50:21.699><c> I'll</c><00:50:21.900><c> illustrate</c><00:50:22.340><c> now</c><00:50:22.699><c> exactly</c><00:50:23.079><c> what</c><00:50:23.280><c> I</c><00:50:23.480><c> believe</c>

00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:25.500
Paul<00:50:24.320><c> was</c><00:50:24.539><c> illustrating</c><00:50:24.940><c> in</c><00:50:25.179><c> Noah.</c>

00:50:25.739 --> 00:50:28.900
How<00:50:26.119><c> is</c><00:50:26.360><c> a</c><00:50:26.480><c> person</c><00:50:26.800><c> seen</c><00:50:27.139><c> to</c><00:50:27.360><c> be</c><00:50:27.639><c> the</c><00:50:27.860><c> heir</c><00:50:28.159><c> of</c><00:50:28.460><c> righteousness</c>

00:50:28.900 --> 00:50:32.019
when<00:50:29.179><c> he</c><00:50:29.380><c> has</c><00:50:29.719><c> practiced</c><00:50:30.380><c> virtually</c><00:50:31.019><c> righteousness?</c>

00:50:32.559 --> 00:50:33.980
Now<00:50:32.880><c> you</c><00:50:33.039><c> have</c><00:50:33.260><c> a</c><00:50:33.340><c> look</c><00:50:33.460><c> at</c><00:50:33.619><c> this.</c>

00:50:34.340 --> 00:50:36.260
This,<00:50:34.739><c> I</c><00:50:34.840><c> believe,</c><00:50:35.159><c> is</c><00:50:35.300><c> absolutely</c><00:50:35.699><c> classic.</c>

00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:38.699
Having<00:50:37.019><c> spoken</c><00:50:37.380><c> of</c><00:50:37.559><c> the</c><00:50:37.820><c> heir</c><00:50:38.099><c> of</c><00:50:38.360><c> righteousness,</c>

00:50:38.820 --> 00:50:40.559
he<00:50:39.019><c> introduces</c><00:50:39.460><c> a</c><00:50:39.739><c> family</c><00:50:40.079><c> of</c><00:50:40.380><c> faith.</c>

00:50:40.619 --> 00:50:43.559
He<00:50:40.820><c> introduces</c><00:50:41.179><c> Abraham,</c><00:50:41.920><c> Sarah,</c><00:50:42.800><c> Isaac,</c><00:50:43.019><c> and</c><00:50:43.320><c> Jacob.</c>

00:50:44.059 --> 00:50:46.000
And<00:50:44.300><c> I</c><00:50:44.480><c> believe</c><00:50:44.760><c> this</c><00:50:44.940><c> is</c><00:50:45.199><c> a</c><00:50:45.340><c> singular</c><00:50:45.619><c> section</c>

00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:47.039
in<00:50:46.260><c> Hebrews</c><00:50:46.480><c> 11.</c>

00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:53.880
Simply<00:50:47.480><c> because</c><00:50:48.059><c> over</c><00:50:48.460><c> in</c><00:50:48.719><c> verse</c><00:50:49.119><c> 16,</c>

00:50:54.260 --> 00:50:55.440
halfway<00:50:54.599><c> through</c><00:50:54.860><c> the</c><00:50:55.019><c> verse</c><00:50:55.179><c> it</c><00:50:55.239><c> says,</c>

00:50:55.659 --> 00:50:58.639
God<00:50:55.659><c> is</c><00:50:55.880><c> not</c><00:50:56.059><c> ashamed</c><00:50:56.300><c> to</c><00:50:56.500><c> be</c><00:50:56.820><c> called</c><00:50:57.199><c> their</c><00:50:57.619><c> God.</c>

00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:01.159
Now,<00:50:59.539><c> in</c><00:50:59.780><c> that</c><00:51:00.099><c> verse</c><00:51:00.559><c> where</c><00:51:00.820><c> it</c><00:51:00.840><c> says</c>

00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:02.820

00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:07.579
the<00:51:03.019><c> word</c><00:51:03.380><c> in</c><00:51:03.559><c> the</c><00:51:03.739><c> Hebrew</c><00:51:04.260><c> for</c><00:51:05.260><c> called</c><00:51:05.639><c> is</c><00:51:06.000><c> really</c><00:51:06.659><c> surname.</c>

00:51:08.320 --> 00:51:13.880
Now,<00:51:08.719><c> God</c><00:51:09.320><c> surname</c><00:51:10.059><c> himself</c><00:51:11.480><c> specifically</c><00:51:12.579><c> upon</c><00:51:12.980><c> three</c><00:51:13.400><c> men.</c>

00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:18.440
I<00:51:14.860><c> am</c><00:51:15.420><c> the</c><00:51:15.719><c> God</c><00:51:15.980><c> of</c><00:51:16.260><c> Abraham,</c><00:51:17.260><c> Isaac,</c><00:51:17.800><c> and</c><00:51:18.039><c> Jacob.</c>

00:51:18.900 --> 00:51:21.420
And<00:51:19.079><c> those</c><00:51:19.420><c> three</c><00:51:19.699><c> were</c><00:51:20.099><c> singled</c><00:51:20.539><c> out,</c><00:51:20.820><c> I</c><00:51:21.119><c> believe,</c>

00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:22.840
for<00:51:21.599><c> a</c><00:51:21.780><c> specific</c><00:51:22.280><c> purpose,</c>

00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:25.920
and<00:51:23.340><c> God</c><00:51:23.980><c> surname</c><00:51:24.599><c> himself</c><00:51:25.199><c> upon</c><00:51:25.579><c> them.</c>

00:51:26.260 --> 00:51:28.380
Now,<00:51:26.559><c> Jesus</c><00:51:26.940><c> picked</c><00:51:27.179><c> that</c><00:51:27.400><c> up</c>

00:51:28.480 --> 00:51:30.219
when<00:51:28.900><c> he</c><00:51:29.019><c> was</c><00:51:29.179><c> challenged</c><00:51:29.420><c> by</c><00:51:29.639><c> the</c><00:51:29.800><c> Sadducees.</c>

00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:33.000
God<00:51:30.699><c> is</c><00:51:30.900><c> not</c><00:51:31.059><c> a</c><00:51:31.119><c> God</c><00:51:31.280><c> of</c><00:51:31.440><c> the</c><00:51:31.559><c> dead,</c><00:51:31.800><c> but</c><00:51:31.920><c> of</c><00:51:32.059><c> the</c><00:51:32.219><c> living.</c>

00:51:33.179 --> 00:51:35.340
And<00:51:33.380><c> God</c><00:51:33.599><c> having</c><00:51:33.860><c> linked</c><00:51:34.159><c> his</c><00:51:34.500><c> name</c><00:51:34.800><c> with</c><00:51:35.079><c> theirs,</c>

00:51:35.360 --> 00:51:36.719
there<00:51:35.519><c> never</c><00:51:35.739><c> could</c><00:51:35.940><c> be</c><00:51:36.159><c> a</c><00:51:36.280><c> question</c>

00:51:36.719 --> 00:51:38.579
that<00:51:37.179><c> those</c><00:51:37.460><c> men</c><00:51:37.619><c> were</c><00:51:37.820><c> ultimately</c><00:51:38.280><c> dead,</c>

00:51:38.639 --> 00:51:39.719
because<00:51:38.760><c> that's</c><00:51:39.119><c> not</c><00:51:39.320><c> possible.</c>

00:51:40.039 --> 00:51:42.159
Dead<00:51:40.280><c> though</c><00:51:40.460><c> they</c><00:51:40.679><c> are,</c><00:51:41.000><c> they're</c><00:51:41.199><c> not</c><00:51:41.380><c> ultimately</c><00:51:41.800><c> dead.</c>

00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:44.099
And<00:51:43.019><c> Jesus</c><00:51:43.380><c> made</c><00:51:43.639><c> that</c><00:51:43.920><c> point,</c>

00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:49.119
So<00:51:46.960><c> the</c><00:51:47.139><c> section</c><00:51:47.360><c> we've</c><00:51:47.639><c> got</c><00:51:47.780><c> now</c><00:51:48.099><c> is</c><00:51:48.260><c> a</c><00:51:48.519><c> special</c><00:51:48.760><c> section.</c>

00:51:52.679 --> 00:51:54.719

Immediately<00:52:11.059><c> you've</c><00:52:11.420><c> got</c><00:52:11.639><c> the</c><00:52:11.860><c> expression,</c>

00:52:17.079 --> 00:52:18.119
Why?

00:52:18.780 --> 00:52:21.780
Well<00:52:18.940><c> isn't</c><00:52:19.199><c> Abraham</c><00:52:20.119><c> the</c><00:52:20.900><c> pre</c><00:52:21.059><c>-eminent</c><00:52:21.340><c> example</c>

Genesis<00:52:26.559><c> 15.</c>

00:52:29.739 --> 00:52:33.559

00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:35.800
I<00:52:34.260><c> hope</c><00:52:34.539><c> the</c><00:52:34.860><c> cloud</c><00:52:35.079><c> will</c><00:52:35.360><c> lift.</c>

It<00:52:43.820><c> isn't</c><00:52:44.059><c> easy</c><00:52:44.320><c> because</c><00:52:44.579><c> it's</c><00:52:44.780><c> one</c><00:52:44.920><c> of</c><00:52:44.960><c> those</c>

00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:22.880

00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:39.420
God<00:53:37.579><c> says,</c><00:53:38.380><c> that's</c><00:53:38.639><c> righteousness.</c>

Now,<00:54:25.739><c> I</c><00:54:25.840><c> want</c><00:54:26.000><c> to</c><00:54:26.119><c> illustrate</c><00:54:26.440><c> it</c><00:54:26.659><c> further.</c>

00:54:28.119 --> 00:54:29.840
Abraham<00:54:28.519><c> believed</c><00:54:28.880><c> that</c><00:54:29.179><c> implicitly.</c>

00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:32.400
There<00:54:30.119><c> was</c><00:54:30.480><c> no</c><00:54:30.760><c> shadow</c><00:54:31.019><c> of</c><00:54:31.079><c> it</c><00:54:31.219><c> out</c><00:54:31.320><c> in</c><00:54:31.400><c> his</c><00:54:31.559><c> mind</c><00:54:31.739><c> about</c><00:54:32.059><c> it.</c>

00:54:32.400 --> 00:54:35.860
But<00:54:33.199><c> then</c><00:54:33.460><c> he</c><00:54:33.519><c> says,</c><00:54:34.659><c> whereby,</c><00:54:34.980><c> in</c><00:54:35.099><c> verse</c><00:54:35.320><c> 8,</c>

00:54:36.159 --> 00:54:39.659
whereby<00:54:36.579><c> shall</c><00:54:36.860><c> I</c><00:54:37.119><c> know</c><00:54:37.719><c> that</c><00:54:37.900><c> I</c><00:54:38.099><c> shall</c><00:54:38.280><c> inherit</c><00:54:38.719><c> it?</c>

00:54:40.239 --> 00:54:42.519
Which<00:54:40.420><c> was</c><00:54:40.659><c> not</c><00:54:40.820><c> an</c><00:54:40.980><c> expression</c><00:54:41.280><c> of</c><00:54:41.559><c> doubt,</c>

00:54:42.800 --> 00:54:47.500
but<00:54:42.900><c> he</c><00:54:43.079><c> wanted</c><00:54:43.360><c> to</c><00:54:43.659><c> know</c><00:54:44.039><c> how</c><00:54:44.579><c> God</c><00:54:45.079><c> could</c><00:54:45.880><c> give</c><00:54:46.079><c> unto</c><00:54:46.360><c> him</c>

00:54:47.500 --> 00:54:48.800
a<00:54:47.840><c> multitude</c><00:54:48.300><c> and</c><00:54:48.460><c> a</c><00:54:48.699><c> seed,</c>

00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:50.820
and<00:54:49.079><c> ultimately</c><00:54:49.480><c> establish</c><00:54:49.960><c> that</c><00:54:50.260><c> seed</c><00:54:50.460><c> forever</c>

00:54:50.820 --> 00:54:51.659
and<00:54:51.039><c> give</c><00:54:51.179><c> him</c><00:54:51.340><c> the</c><00:54:51.460><c> land,</c>

00:54:51.900 --> 00:54:55.300
he,<00:54:52.739><c> a</c><00:54:52.920><c> mortal</c><00:54:53.360><c> and</c><00:54:54.300><c> a</c><00:54:54.500><c> sinful</c><00:54:54.820><c> man,</c>

00:54:55.480 --> 00:54:56.880
a<00:54:55.599><c> man</c><00:54:55.820><c> who</c><00:54:56.000><c> had</c><00:54:56.260><c> sinned.</c>

00:54:57.019 --> 00:54:58.400
How<00:54:57.340><c> could</c><00:54:57.659><c> God</c><00:54:57.880><c> do</c><00:54:58.099><c> it?</c>

00:54:58.639 --> 00:55:00.739
God<00:54:58.940><c> showed</c><00:54:59.260><c> him</c><00:54:59.539><c> a</c><00:54:59.800><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:55:01.219 --> 00:55:03.239
But<00:55:01.739><c> then</c><00:55:01.980><c> I</c><00:55:02.019><c> want</c><00:55:02.179><c> you</c><00:55:02.300><c> to</c><00:55:02.420><c> notice</c><00:55:02.599><c> this.</c>

00:55:03.739 --> 00:55:06.239
That<00:55:03.800><c> when</c><00:55:04.000><c> Abraham</c><00:55:04.380><c> fell</c><00:55:04.619><c> into</c><00:55:04.820><c> a</c><00:55:04.940><c> deep</c><00:55:05.159><c> sleep,</c>

in<00:55:06.880><c> verse</c><00:55:07.119><c> 15,</c><00:55:07.559><c> we</c><00:55:07.699><c> take</c><00:55:07.940><c> up</c><00:55:08.139><c> the</c><00:55:08.300><c> record,</c>

00:55:09.340 --> 00:55:11.559
and<00:55:09.500><c> thou</c><00:55:09.679><c> shalt</c><00:55:09.940><c> go</c><00:55:10.300><c> to</c><00:55:10.460><c> thy</c><00:55:10.619><c> fathers</c><00:55:10.960><c> in</c><00:55:11.320><c> peace,</c>

00:55:11.659 --> 00:55:14.300
thou<00:55:11.860><c> shalt</c><00:55:12.059><c> be</c><00:55:12.380><c> buried</c><00:55:12.579><c> in</c><00:55:12.719><c> a</c><00:55:12.920><c> good</c><00:55:13.059><c> old</c><00:55:13.300><c> age.</c>

00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:16.739
But<00:55:15.139><c> in</c><00:55:15.460><c> the</c><00:55:15.699><c> fourth</c><00:55:16.019><c> generation</c>

00:55:16.739 --> 00:55:18.980
they<00:55:17.039><c> shall</c><00:55:17.260><c> come</c><00:55:17.539><c> hither</c><00:55:17.820><c> again,</c>

00:55:19.239 --> 00:55:25.119
for<00:55:19.460><c> the</c><00:55:19.880><c> iniquity</c><00:55:20.760><c> of</c><00:55:21.480><c> the</c><00:55:21.800><c> Amorites</c><00:55:22.340><c> is</c><00:55:22.860><c> not</c><00:55:23.420><c> yet</c><00:55:24.000><c> full.</c>

00:55:26.320 --> 00:55:28.559
Now,<00:55:26.739><c> don't</c><00:55:27.079><c> ever</c><00:55:27.440><c> believe,</c><00:55:27.920><c> brethren</c><00:55:28.099><c> and</c><00:55:28.400><c> sisters,</c>

00:55:28.559 --> 00:55:31.880
that<00:55:28.719><c> that's</c><00:55:29.019><c> merely</c><00:55:29.500><c> an</c><00:55:29.960><c> expression</c><00:55:30.360><c> of</c><00:55:30.579><c> an</c><00:55:30.800><c> historical</c><00:55:31.300><c> event,</c>

00:55:32.199 --> 00:55:34.059
because<00:55:32.360><c> it</c><00:55:32.519><c> isn't.</c>

00:55:34.239 --> 00:55:36.260
In<00:55:34.460><c> other</c><00:55:34.719><c> words,</c><00:55:35.019><c> what</c><00:55:35.119><c> Abraham</c><00:55:35.460><c> has</c><00:55:35.699><c> told</c><00:55:35.860><c> us</c><00:55:36.059><c> this,</c>

00:55:36.260 --> 00:55:38.280
and<00:55:36.380><c> I'll</c><00:55:36.559><c> go</c><00:55:36.780><c> through</c><00:55:36.980><c> it</c><00:55:37.159><c> very</c><00:55:37.460><c> simply.</c>

00:55:38.659 --> 00:55:41.800
Here<00:55:38.840><c> he</c><00:55:38.980><c> is,</c><00:55:39.239><c> a</c><00:55:39.400><c> man</c><00:55:39.679><c> who's</c><00:55:40.159><c> incapable</c><00:55:40.639><c> at</c><00:55:41.280><c> that</c><00:55:41.559><c> stage</c>

00:55:41.800 --> 00:55:43.559
of<00:55:42.019><c> producing</c><00:55:42.400><c> a</c><00:55:42.659><c> child.</c>

00:55:44.039 --> 00:55:46.099
He<00:55:44.219><c> stands</c><00:55:44.659><c> looking</c><00:55:44.960><c> at</c><00:55:45.139><c> the</c><00:55:45.280><c> heavens,</c>

00:55:46.139 --> 00:55:48.219
and<00:55:46.219><c> God</c><00:55:46.440><c> says,</c><00:55:46.900><c> so</c><00:55:47.179><c> shall</c><00:55:47.500><c> I</c><00:55:47.739><c> see</c><00:55:48.000><c> thee.</c>

00:55:48.420 --> 00:55:52.300
Paul<00:55:48.699><c> says</c><00:55:49.079><c> he</c><00:55:49.619><c> diligently</c><00:55:50.059><c> considered</c><00:55:50.400><c> his</c><00:55:50.599><c> own</c><00:55:50.840><c> body</c><00:55:51.039><c> now</c><00:55:51.440><c> dead,</c>

00:55:52.420 --> 00:55:54.739
but<00:55:52.820><c> he</c><00:55:53.159><c> believed</c><00:55:53.539><c> that</c><00:55:54.000><c> such</c><00:55:54.199><c> would</c><00:55:54.400><c> happen</c>

00:55:54.739 --> 00:55:57.539
because<00:55:55.340><c> God</c><00:55:55.880><c> could</c><00:55:56.139><c> do</c><00:55:56.280><c> what</c><00:55:56.480><c> he</c><00:55:56.739><c> could</c><00:55:57.059><c> not</c><00:55:57.300><c> do.</c>

00:55:57.539 --> 00:55:59.400
But<00:55:57.599><c> God</c><00:55:57.800><c> says</c><00:55:58.099><c> that's</c><00:55:58.559><c> righteousness.</c>

00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:02.659
Now<00:56:00.579><c> then,</c><00:56:01.159><c> Abraham</c><00:56:01.260><c> says,</c><00:56:01.940><c> how</c><00:56:02.099><c> am</c><00:56:02.300><c> I</c><00:56:02.300><c> going</c><00:56:02.400><c> to</c><00:56:02.539><c> know</c>

00:56:02.659 --> 00:56:05.019
that<00:56:02.780><c> I'm</c><00:56:02.900><c> going</c><00:56:03.139><c> to</c><00:56:03.300><c> inherit</c><00:56:03.480><c> this</c><00:56:03.880><c> great</c><00:56:04.079><c> land?</c>

00:56:05.519 --> 00:56:08.260
He<00:56:05.699><c> falls</c><00:56:05.960><c> into</c><00:56:06.219><c> a</c><00:56:06.340><c> deep</c><00:56:06.539><c> sleep,</c><00:56:06.880><c> he's</c><00:56:07.380><c> dead.</c>

00:56:08.280 --> 00:56:12.059
And<00:56:08.460><c> while</c><00:56:08.679><c> he's</c><00:56:09.019><c> dead,</c><00:56:09.820><c> God</c><00:56:10.360><c> goes</c><00:56:10.880><c> to</c><00:56:11.179><c> work.</c>

00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:14.940
What's<00:56:12.539><c> Abraham</c><00:56:12.900><c> doing</c><00:56:13.199><c> to</c><00:56:13.539><c> establish</c><00:56:13.920><c> the</c><00:56:14.159><c> kingdom?</c>

00:56:15.079 --> 00:56:16.519
He's<00:56:15.480><c> dead.</c>

00:56:17.360 --> 00:56:19.400
And<00:56:17.539><c> then</c><00:56:17.780><c> God</c><00:56:18.079><c> gives</c><00:56:18.380><c> him</c><00:56:18.659><c> the</c><00:56:18.960><c> reason</c>

00:56:19.400 --> 00:56:21.400
why<00:56:19.800><c> his</c><00:56:20.159><c> seed</c><00:56:20.360><c> will</c><00:56:20.619><c> come</c><00:56:20.760><c> into</c><00:56:20.880><c> that</c><00:56:21.099><c> land.</c>

00:56:21.559 --> 00:56:23.860
And<00:56:21.699><c> the</c><00:56:21.880><c> reason</c><00:56:22.159><c> is</c><00:56:22.400><c> not</c><00:56:22.659><c> that</c><00:56:22.820><c> they</c><00:56:22.940><c> are</c><00:56:23.059><c> the</c><00:56:23.179><c> seed</c><00:56:23.280><c> of</c><00:56:23.500><c> Abraham,</c>

00:56:26.619 --> 00:56:30.579

00:59:30.099 --> 00:59:32.019

00:59:34.619 --> 00:59:37.420
And<00:59:34.840><c> we</c><00:59:35.059><c> thank</c><00:59:35.239><c> him</c><00:59:35.380><c> for</c><00:59:35.559><c> that,</c><00:59:35.980><c> and</c><00:59:36.159><c> that's</c><00:59:36.300><c> all</c><00:59:36.559><c> we</c><00:59:36.780><c> do.</c>

We<00:59:41.340><c> don't</c><00:59:41.599><c> say</c><00:59:41.739><c> that</c><00:59:41.880><c> there's</c><00:59:42.039><c> something</c><00:59:42.260><c> in</c><00:59:42.380><c> us</c>

00:59:42.559 --> 00:59:44.199

00:59:44.199 --> 00:59:47.960
We<00:59:44.400><c> don't</c><00:59:44.780><c> know,</c><00:59:45.400><c> but</c><00:59:45.519><c> we</c><00:59:45.980><c> thank</c><00:59:46.179><c> him</c><00:59:46.440><c> profoundly</c><00:59:47.239><c> for</c><00:59:47.519><c> it,</c>

00:59:47.960 --> 00:59:51.239
and<00:59:48.139><c> we</c><00:59:48.380><c> act</c><00:59:48.639><c> in</c><00:59:48.780><c> a</c><00:59:48.960><c> manner</c><00:59:49.119><c> that</c><00:59:49.300><c> will</c><00:59:49.860><c> so</c><00:59:50.420><c> reflect</c><00:59:50.920><c> back</c><00:59:51.099><c> to</c>

00:59:51.239 --> 00:59:51.619
the<00:59:51.400><c> Creator</c>

00:59:51.619 --> 00:59:54.880
our<00:59:52.119><c> gratitude</c><00:59:52.579><c> for</c><00:59:53.139><c> a</c><00:59:53.460><c> call</c><00:59:53.539><c> that's</c><00:59:53.860><c> beyond</c><00:59:54.079><c> our</c><00:59:54.400><c> comprehension,</c>

00:59:55.260 --> 00:59:58.300
beyond<00:59:55.480><c> our</c><00:59:55.719><c> deserts,</c><00:59:56.699><c> beyond</c><00:59:56.980><c> our</c><00:59:57.320><c> understanding</c><00:59:57.920><c> even,</c>

00:59:58.639 --> 01:00:00.860
but<00:59:58.840><c> a</c><00:59:59.039><c> call,</c><00:59:59.219><c> brothers</c><00:59:59.460><c> and</c><00:59:59.639><c> sisters,</c><00:59:59.920><c> wonderful</c><01:00:00.380><c> nonetheless.</c>

01:00:01.239 --> 01:00:02.880
That's<01:00:01.599><c> the</c><01:00:01.699><c> attitude</c><01:00:01.860><c> of</c><01:00:02.059><c> a</c><01:00:02.139><c> true</c><01:00:02.260><c> Christadelphian.</c>

01:00:03.000 --> 01:00:04.519
That<01:00:03.320><c> is</c><01:00:03.639><c> righteousness.</c>

01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:06.860
That's<01:00:05.539><c> God's</c><01:00:06.039><c> righteousness.</c>

01:00:06.980 --> 01:00:08.699
And<01:00:07.099><c> if</c><01:00:07.320><c> a</c><01:00:07.460><c> great</c><01:00:07.679><c> man</c><01:00:07.940><c> like</c><01:00:08.239><c> Abraham</c>

01:00:08.699 --> 01:00:11.380
had<01:00:08.960><c> a</c><01:00:09.119><c> lesson</c><01:00:09.280><c> like</c><01:00:09.599><c> that</c><01:00:09.739><c> in</c><01:00:09.860><c> Genesis</c><01:00:10.199><c> 15,</c><01:00:10.800><c> to</c><01:00:10.980><c> him,</c>

01:00:11.539 --> 01:00:12.820
where<01:00:11.739><c> do</c><01:00:11.840><c> we</c><01:00:12.000><c> take</c><01:00:12.260><c> the</c><01:00:12.360><c> matter</c><01:00:12.539><c> up?</c>

01:00:12.820 --> 01:00:15.059
Now,<01:00:13.559><c> there's</c><01:00:13.960><c> the</c><01:00:14.119><c> righteousness</c><01:00:14.440><c> of</c><01:00:14.860><c> faith</c>

01:00:15.059 --> 01:00:18.800
and<01:00:15.519><c> implicit</c><01:00:15.980><c> belief</c><01:00:16.659><c> in</c><01:00:17.300><c> something</c><01:00:17.659><c> that</c><01:00:17.900><c> God</c><01:00:18.159><c> can</c><01:00:18.460><c> do</c>

01:00:18.800 --> 01:00:20.500
beyond<01:00:19.360><c> ourselves.</c>

01:00:20.579 --> 01:00:23.420
Therefore,<01:00:21.039><c> even</c><01:00:21.380><c> when</c><01:00:21.619><c> we</c><01:00:21.820><c> are</c><01:00:22.079><c> the</c><01:00:22.260><c> vehicles</c><01:00:22.539><c> of</c><01:00:22.739><c> the</c><01:00:22.960><c> performance,</c>

01:00:23.579 --> 01:00:26.400
what<01:00:23.800><c> is</c><01:00:23.980><c> it</c><01:00:24.119><c> but</c><01:00:24.300><c> the</c><01:00:24.579><c> extension</c><01:00:24.780><c> of</c><01:00:24.980><c> the</c><01:00:25.119><c> Creator's</c><01:00:25.579><c> power?</c>

01:00:26.719 --> 01:00:28.840
If<01:00:26.940><c> we</c><01:00:27.139><c> do</c><01:00:27.400><c> something</c><01:00:27.719><c> in</c><01:00:27.880><c> the</c><01:00:28.019><c> Creator's</c><01:00:28.539><c> service,</c>

01:00:29.079 --> 01:00:31.780
which<01:00:29.219><c> is</c><01:00:29.460><c> beyond</c><01:00:29.739><c> our</c><01:00:30.059><c> capabilities</c><01:00:30.460><c> very</c><01:00:30.920><c> often,</c>

01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:33.460
what<01:00:32.099><c> do</c><01:00:32.199><c> we</c><01:00:32.340><c> attribute</c><01:00:32.699><c> the</c><01:00:32.980><c> strength</c><01:00:33.239><c> to?</c>

01:00:33.940 --> 01:00:36.340
We<01:00:34.199><c> are</c><01:00:34.460><c> but</c><01:00:34.599><c> extensions,</c><01:00:35.219><c> brothers</c><01:00:35.539><c> and</c><01:00:35.679><c> sisters,</c><01:00:36.019><c> of</c><01:00:36.199><c> a</c>

01:00:36.340 --> 01:00:37.800
divine<01:00:36.780><c> force.</c>

01:00:38.099 --> 01:00:40.739
And<01:00:38.480><c> we</c><01:00:38.579><c> will</c><01:00:38.780><c> be</c><01:00:39.099><c> absorbed</c><01:00:39.480><c> into</c><01:00:39.780><c> that</c><01:00:40.099><c> same</c><01:00:40.500><c> force</c>

01:00:40.739 --> 01:00:42.900
in<01:00:40.960><c> accordance</c><01:00:41.340><c> with</c><01:00:41.559><c> our</c><01:00:41.780><c> faith</c><01:00:41.980><c> when</c><01:00:42.159><c> the</c><01:00:42.260><c> Lord</c><01:00:42.460><c> Jesus</c>

01:00:42.900 --> 01:00:44.099
Christ<01:00:43.179><c> comes.</c>

01:00:44.340 --> 01:00:47.099
And<01:00:44.460><c> there</c><01:00:44.639><c> the</c><01:00:45.079><c> righteousness</c><01:00:45.440><c> of</c><01:00:45.780><c> faith</c><01:00:46.179><c> will</c><01:00:46.719><c> see</c><01:00:46.880><c> to</c><01:00:47.000><c> be</c>

01:00:47.099 --> 01:00:48.219
in<01:00:47.159><c> its</c><01:00:47.440><c> fullness.</c>

01:00:48.719 --> 01:00:51.119
What<01:00:48.820><c> Noah</c><01:00:49.059><c> was</c><01:00:49.239><c> an</c><01:00:49.420><c> heir,</c><01:00:49.960><c> and</c><01:00:50.079><c> so</c><01:00:50.239><c> also</c><01:00:50.480><c> was</c><01:00:50.760><c> Abraham.</c>

01:00:51.559 --> 01:00:53.380
Incredible,<01:00:52.099><c> really,</c><01:00:52.380><c> the</c><01:00:52.420><c> way</c><01:00:52.619><c> that</c><01:00:52.840><c> Paul</c><01:00:52.960><c> deals</c><01:00:53.179><c> with</c>

these<01:00:53.599><c> matters.</c>

01:00:54.280 --> 01:00:55.960
And<01:00:54.420><c> you</c><01:00:54.480><c> know,</c><01:00:54.639><c> to</c><01:00:54.760><c> the</c><01:00:55.000><c> Jews</c><01:00:55.239><c> reading</c><01:00:55.579><c> this,</c>

01:00:56.460 --> 01:00:59.099
who<01:00:56.659><c> saw</c><01:00:56.900><c> those</c><01:00:57.179><c> men</c><01:00:57.380><c> completely</c><01:00:57.920><c> different</c><01:00:58.219><c> than</c><01:00:58.440><c> that,</c>

01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:00.920
had<01:00:59.559><c> to</c><01:00:59.800><c> reorient</c><01:01:00.219><c> their</c><01:01:00.539><c> thinking.</c>

01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:03.940
And<01:01:01.559><c> they</c><01:01:01.780><c> now</c><01:01:02.019><c> began</c><01:01:02.280><c> to</c><01:01:02.619><c> understand,</c><01:01:03.000><c> I</c><01:01:03.179><c> hope</c><01:01:03.380><c> they</c><01:01:03.639><c> did,</c>

01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:07.019
that<01:01:04.820><c> the</c><01:01:05.059><c> words</c><01:01:05.260><c> of</c><01:01:05.420><c> the</c><01:01:05.559><c> apostle</c><01:01:05.860><c> were</c><01:01:06.079><c> not</c><01:01:06.300><c> to</c><01:01:06.559><c> demonstrate</c>

01:01:07.019 --> 01:01:08.519
the<01:01:07.320><c> greatness</c><01:01:07.559><c> of</c><01:01:07.760><c> those</c><01:01:07.980><c> individuals,</c>

but<01:01:09.079><c> the</c><01:01:09.559><c> greatness</c><01:01:09.900><c> of</c><01:01:10.179><c> the</c><01:01:10.460><c> power,</c><01:01:11.019><c> brothers</c><01:01:11.079><c> and</c><01:01:11.159><c> sisters,</c>

01:01:11.559 --> 01:01:13.519
that<01:01:11.679><c> was</c><01:01:11.900><c> behind</c><01:01:12.239><c> their</c><01:01:12.539><c> lives.</c>

01:01:13.539 --> 01:01:16.860
And<01:01:13.699><c> if</c><01:01:13.780><c> we</c><01:01:14.000><c> can't</c><01:01:14.360><c> see</c><01:01:14.519><c> that,</c><01:01:15.159><c> we'll</c><01:01:15.420><c> never</c><01:01:15.639><c> see</c><01:01:15.860><c> the</c><01:01:16.059><c> kingdom,</c>

01:01:16.900 --> 01:01:18.679
because<01:01:17.159><c> that's</c><01:01:17.480><c> the</c><01:01:17.559><c> way</c><01:01:17.780><c> those</c><01:01:18.079><c> men</c><01:01:18.300><c> acted,</c>

01:01:21.420 --> 01:01:23.900
Now<01:01:21.559><c> let's</c><01:01:21.760><c> have</c><01:01:21.900><c> a</c><01:01:21.960><c> look,</c><01:01:22.139><c> therefore,</c><01:01:22.500><c> at</c><01:01:22.659><c> some</c><01:01:22.719><c> of</c><01:01:22.860><c> the</c><01:01:22.940><c> things</c><01:01:23.039><c> Abraham</c><01:01:23.480><c> did</c>

01:03:39.679 --> 01:03:42.199

01:03:42.500 --> 01:03:44.980

Even<01:03:51.699><c> though</c><01:03:51.920><c> his</c><01:03:52.119><c> father</c><01:03:52.300><c> was</c><01:03:52.619><c> dead,</c><01:03:53.179><c> his</c><01:03:53.360><c> father's</c><01:03:53.880><c> house</c>

01:03:55.920 --> 01:03:58.400
Abraham<01:03:56.400><c> had</c><01:03:56.619><c> to</c><01:03:57.039><c> wrench</c><01:03:57.300><c> himself</c><01:03:57.679><c> away</c><01:03:58.019><c> from</c><01:03:58.219><c> that.</c>

01:04:01.039 --> 01:04:02.460
And<01:04:01.099><c> he</c><01:04:01.260><c> still</c><01:04:01.480><c> abated.</c>

01:04:02.840 --> 01:04:04.260
And<01:04:02.980><c> he</c><01:04:03.019><c> left</c><01:04:03.260><c> his</c><01:04:03.500><c> father's</c><01:04:04.019><c> house.</c>

01:04:04.500 --> 01:04:06.559
That's<01:04:04.719><c> what</c><01:04:04.960><c> Paul's</c><01:04:05.199><c> trying</c><01:04:05.380><c> to</c><01:04:05.400><c> get</c><01:04:05.539><c> these</c><01:04:05.840><c> Hebrews</c><01:04:06.159><c> to</c><01:04:06.400><c> do,</c>

01:04:08.780 --> 01:04:13.780
And<01:04:08.920><c> then</c><01:04:09.099><c> he,</c><01:04:09.539><c> by</c><01:04:09.800><c> faith,</c><01:04:10.239><c> brothers</c><01:04:10.340><c> and</c><01:04:10.559><c> sisters,</c><01:04:10.980><c> he</c><01:04:11.179><c> sojourned</c><01:04:11.820><c> in</c><01:04:11.980><c> the</c><01:04:12.159><c> land</c><01:04:12.460><c> of</c><01:04:12.860><c> promise.</c>

01:04:15.619 --> 01:04:16.559
Now,<01:04:15.880><c> in</c><01:04:16.119><c> the...</c>

01:04:16.559 --> 01:04:17.980
Do<01:04:16.559><c> you</c><01:04:16.780><c> know</c><01:04:16.980><c> that</c><01:04:17.260><c> was</c><01:04:17.300><c> going</c><01:04:17.539><c> to</c><01:04:17.699><c> happen?</c>

01:04:18.260 --> 01:04:21.199
I<01:04:18.639><c> believe</c><01:04:18.920><c> he</c><01:04:19.139><c> would,</c><01:04:19.340><c> because</c><01:04:19.539><c> I'll</c><01:04:19.699><c> tell</c><01:04:19.800><c> you</c><01:04:19.940><c> why,</c><01:04:20.699><c> Arthur.</c>

01:04:21.219 --> 01:04:21.500
In<01:04:21.219><c> the...</c>

01:04:21.500 --> 01:04:23.679
He<01:04:21.500><c> was</c><01:04:21.579><c> right</c><01:04:21.739><c> to</c><01:04:21.960><c> write</c><01:04:22.219><c> in</c><01:04:22.460><c> the</c><01:04:22.599><c> Middle</c><01:04:23.360><c> Ages.</c>

01:04:23.880 --> 01:04:28.380
That's<01:04:24.340><c> right.</c><01:04:24.800><c> But</c><01:04:24.960><c> he</c><01:04:25.199><c> returned</c><01:04:25.559><c> with...</c>

01:04:28.380 --> 01:04:29.880
Do<01:04:28.820><c> you</c><01:04:29.460><c> remember?</c>

01:04:30.239 --> 01:04:32.619
Because<01:04:30.519><c> the</c><01:04:30.719><c> records</c><01:04:31.239><c> clearly</c><01:04:31.920><c> indicate</c><01:04:32.320><c> that</c><01:04:32.440><c> when</c><01:04:32.559><c> he</c>

01:04:32.619 --> 01:04:33.420
came<01:04:32.860><c> back</c><01:04:33.000><c> from</c><01:04:33.199><c> Egypt,</c>

01:04:33.539 --> 01:04:35.440
he<01:04:33.559><c> did</c><01:04:33.840><c> so</c><01:04:33.960><c> with</c><01:04:34.159><c> deliberate</c><01:04:34.460><c> intent,</c><01:04:34.840><c> knowing</c><01:04:35.119><c> that</c><01:04:35.239><c> he'd</c>

01:04:35.440 --> 01:04:36.440
left<01:04:35.559><c> that</c><01:04:35.820><c> particular</c><01:04:36.260><c> land,</c>

01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:37.159
and<01:04:36.599><c> he</c><01:04:36.719><c> shouldn't</c><01:04:36.960><c> have.</c>

01:04:37.460 --> 01:04:39.559
So<01:04:37.639><c> I</c><01:04:37.739><c> believe</c><01:04:37.900><c> it</c><01:04:37.960><c> was</c><01:04:38.219><c> clear</c><01:04:38.480><c> in</c><01:04:38.699><c> Abraham's</c><01:04:39.139><c> mind</c><01:04:39.219><c> at</c><01:04:39.340><c> that</c>

01:04:59.519 --> 01:05:01.840
The<01:04:59.599><c> point</c><01:04:59.800><c> he's</c><01:04:59.960><c> making</c><01:05:00.300><c> is</c><01:05:00.579><c> this.</c>

01:05:02.139 --> 01:05:03.920
Abraham's<01:05:02.699><c> faith</c><01:05:02.699><c> was</c><01:05:03.099><c> so</c><01:05:03.559><c> great...</c>

01:05:03.920 --> 01:05:05.440
Now,<01:05:04.119><c> you</c><01:05:04.320><c> try</c><01:05:04.559><c> and</c><01:05:04.760><c> imagine</c><01:05:05.000><c> this.</c>

Abraham's<01:05:06.500><c> faith</c><01:05:06.659><c> was</c><01:05:06.920><c> so</c><01:05:07.280><c> great</c><01:05:07.519><c> that</c><01:05:07.659><c> when</c><01:05:07.800><c> he</c><01:05:08.019><c> actually</c><01:05:08.420><c> arrived</c>

01:05:17.820 --> 01:05:20.599
Now,<01:05:18.019><c> think</c><01:05:18.139><c> of</c><01:05:18.239><c> the</c><01:05:18.380><c> implications</c><01:05:18.860><c> of</c><01:05:19.059><c> that.</c><01:05:19.239><c> Where's</c><01:05:19.519><c> his</c><01:05:19.780><c> faith?</c>

His<01:05:21.099><c> faith</c><01:05:21.239><c> is</c><01:05:21.539><c> not</c><01:05:21.780><c> based</c><01:05:22.099><c> upon</c><01:05:22.820><c> that</c><01:05:23.340><c> land</c><01:05:23.699><c> as</c><01:05:24.000><c> such.</c>

01:05:31.739 --> 01:05:33.599
Because<01:05:31.900><c> you</c><01:05:32.099><c> take</c><01:05:32.360><c> yourself,</c><01:05:32.980><c> alright,</c><01:05:33.239><c> God</c><01:05:33.400><c> says,</c>

01:05:35.840 --> 01:05:37.780
Right?<01:05:36.460><c> So</c><01:05:36.679><c> we</c><01:05:37.039><c> move</c><01:05:37.300><c> with</c><01:05:37.579><c> faith.</c>

01:05:37.900 --> 01:05:40.199

We<01:05:41.380><c> arrive</c><01:05:41.719><c> at</c><01:05:41.860><c> the</c><01:05:41.980><c> land</c><01:05:42.159><c> of</c><01:05:42.440><c> promise.</c>

01:05:42.719 --> 01:05:45.760
We're<01:05:42.940><c> told</c><01:05:43.440><c> this</c><01:05:43.739><c> is</c><01:05:44.000><c> the</c><01:05:44.079><c> land</c><01:05:44.340><c> of</c><01:05:44.659><c> the</c><01:05:44.940><c> promise.</c>

01:05:47.340 --> 01:05:50.039
Well,<01:05:47.820><c> instinctively,</c><01:05:48.579><c> naturally,</c><01:05:49.219><c> if</c><01:05:49.360><c> we're</c><01:05:49.500><c> not</c><01:05:49.679><c> careful,</c>

01:05:50.159 --> 01:05:50.840
we<01:05:50.260><c> would</c><01:05:50.500><c> say,</c>

01:05:50.840 --> 01:05:53.800
good,<01:05:52.019><c> the</c><01:05:52.179><c> end</c><01:05:52.320><c> of</c><01:05:52.440><c> the</c><01:05:52.539><c> road,</c><01:05:52.860><c> here</c><01:05:53.019><c> we</c><01:05:53.219><c> are,</c><01:05:53.480><c> the</c><01:05:53.599><c> promise</c>

01:05:54.260 --> 01:05:56.340
Abraham<01:05:54.519><c> never</c><01:05:54.760><c> thought</c><01:05:54.920><c> that</c><01:05:55.119><c> way.</c>

01:05:56.579 --> 01:05:57.599
Paul's<01:05:56.820><c> point</c><01:05:57.039><c> is</c><01:05:57.280><c> this.</c>

01:05:58.019 --> 01:06:00.659
But<01:05:58.179><c> even</c><01:05:58.360><c> when</c><01:05:58.539><c> he</c><01:05:58.699><c> arrived</c><01:05:59.159><c> at</c><01:05:59.320><c> the</c><01:05:59.579><c> point</c><01:05:59.760><c> that</c><01:05:59.940><c> God</c><01:06:00.119><c> had</c><01:06:00.360><c> said</c><01:06:00.440><c> to</c><01:06:00.559><c> him,</c>

01:06:04.119 --> 01:06:06.820
Because<01:06:04.480><c> Abraham's</c><01:06:05.159><c> faith</c><01:06:05.260><c> was</c><01:06:05.500><c> so</c><01:06:05.820><c> great,</c><01:06:06.139><c> brothers</c><01:06:06.199><c> and</c><01:06:06.300><c> sisters,</c>

01:06:07.219 --> 01:06:10.159
that<01:06:07.400><c> he</c><01:06:07.579><c> knew</c><01:06:07.800><c> that</c><01:06:08.079><c> the</c><01:06:08.239><c> mere</c><01:06:08.440><c> land</c><01:06:08.699><c> itself,</c><01:06:09.199><c> under</c><01:06:09.460><c> those</c><01:06:09.739><c> conditions,</c>

01:06:13.159 --> 01:06:15.059
He<01:06:13.420><c> looked</c><01:06:13.599><c> for</c><01:06:13.860><c> a</c><01:06:13.960><c> city,</c>

01:06:15.500 --> 01:06:17.480

01:06:17.900 --> 01:06:20.900
Even<01:06:18.500><c> in</c><01:06:19.099><c> the</c><01:06:19.260><c> land</c><01:06:19.519><c> of</c><01:06:19.800><c> the</c><01:06:20.000><c> promise,</c>

01:06:21.400 --> 01:06:24.480
his<01:06:21.579><c> faith</c><01:06:21.780><c> went</c><01:06:22.119><c> beyond</c><01:06:22.579><c> mere</c><01:06:23.400><c> materialism,</c><01:06:24.019><c> as</c><01:06:24.119><c> it</c><01:06:24.280><c> were,</c>

01:06:26.480 --> 01:06:30.380
Abraham<01:06:26.679><c> didn't</c><01:06:27.000><c> look</c><01:06:27.219><c> to</c><01:06:27.360><c> be</c><01:06:27.519><c> a</c><01:06:27.679><c> landholder</c><01:06:28.179><c> under</c><01:06:28.500><c> the</c><01:06:28.719><c> constitution</c><01:06:29.260><c> of</c><01:06:29.579><c> sin.</c>

01:06:31.219 --> 01:06:33.139
Abraham's<01:06:31.619><c> faith</c><01:06:31.860><c> went</c><01:06:32.159><c> right</c><01:06:32.500><c> beyond</c><01:06:32.820><c> that.</c>

01:06:33.420 --> 01:06:35.380
Alright,<01:06:33.679><c> this</c><01:06:33.880><c> is</c><01:06:34.099><c> the</c><01:06:34.179><c> land</c><01:06:34.340><c> of</c><01:06:34.559><c> the</c><01:06:34.679><c> promise.</c>

01:06:41.420 --> 01:06:42.239
Right?

01:06:42.260 --> 01:06:44.719
Immediately<01:06:42.699><c> after</c><01:06:43.000><c> that,</c><01:06:43.380><c> Abraham</c><01:06:43.719><c> sets</c><01:06:43.980><c> up</c><01:06:44.179><c> his</c><01:06:44.380><c> altar.</c>

01:06:47.960 --> 01:06:49.539
Right<01:06:48.099><c> alongside</c><01:06:48.579><c> that</c><01:06:48.900><c> Canaanite.</c>

01:06:49.920 --> 01:06:53.280
