00:11:32.740 --> 00:11:37.080
surely<00:11:33.019><c> it</c><00:11:33.139><c> was</c><00:11:33.259><c> the</c><00:11:33.379><c> same</c><00:11:33.580><c> God</c><00:11:33.799><c> who</c><00:11:34.019><c> could,</c><00:11:34.340><c> in</c><00:11:34.620><c> fact,</c><00:11:35.519><c> provide</c><00:11:35.879><c> the</c><00:11:36.299><c> bread.</c>

00:11:39.139 --> 00:11:43.399
What<00:11:39.539><c> God</c><00:11:39.700><c> was</c><00:11:39.879><c> doing</c><00:11:40.080><c> was</c><00:11:40.320><c> trying</c><00:11:40.740><c> to</c><00:11:41.279><c> build</c><00:11:41.779><c> on</c><00:11:42.100><c> these</c><00:11:42.399><c> trials,</c>

00:11:44.940 --> 00:11:48.299

00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.200

00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.460

00:11:56.139 --> 00:11:58.620
And<00:11:56.340><c> sometimes</c><00:11:56.620><c> we</c><00:11:56.779><c> get</c><00:11:56.899><c> into</c><00:11:57.100><c> this</c><00:11:57.340><c> rut</c><00:11:57.460><c> where</c><00:11:58.019><c> the</c><00:11:58.440><c> trials</c>

00:11:58.620 --> 00:12:00.139
just<00:11:58.860><c> keep</c><00:11:59.019><c> repeating</c><00:11:59.500><c> themselves.</c>

00:12:00.460 --> 00:12:03.639
Have<00:12:00.559><c> you</c><00:12:00.580><c> ever</c><00:12:00.799><c> thought</c><00:12:00.940><c> that</c><00:12:01.460><c> that's</c><00:12:01.740><c> exactly</c><00:12:02.000><c> what</c><00:12:02.159><c> God</c><00:12:02.320><c> was</c><00:12:02.460><c> doing</c><00:12:02.580><c> to</c><00:12:02.759><c> Israel?</c>

00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:07.240
Too<00:12:04.460><c> much</c><00:12:04.659><c> water,</c><00:12:05.340><c> not</c><00:12:05.379><c> enough</c><00:12:05.580><c> water,</c><00:12:06.720><c> not</c><00:12:06.799><c> enough</c><00:12:07.000><c> bread,</c>

00:12:07.379 --> 00:12:08.659
then<00:12:07.519><c> too</c><00:12:07.679><c> much</c><00:12:07.840><c> bread.</c>

00:12:09.539 --> 00:12:12.559
Everything<00:12:09.779><c> is</c><00:12:09.960><c> being</c><00:12:10.240><c> controlled</c><00:12:10.799><c> to</c><00:12:11.259><c> gently</c><00:12:11.779><c> help</c><00:12:12.240><c> these</c>

00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:14.980

00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:19.139

00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:21.919
And<00:12:20.720><c> God</c><00:12:20.860><c> works</c><00:12:21.159><c> like</c><00:12:21.419><c> that.</c>

00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.080
We<00:12:22.519><c> call</c><00:12:22.639><c> it</c><00:12:22.840><c> deja</c><00:12:23.240><c> vu.</c>

00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:26.399
Hey,<00:12:24.620><c> I've</c><00:12:24.779><c> been</c><00:12:24.940><c> here</c><00:12:25.159><c> before.</c>

00:12:27.860 --> 00:12:29.919
Because<00:12:28.039><c> we</c><00:12:28.159><c> haven't</c><00:12:28.379><c> learnt</c><00:12:28.519><c> the</c><00:12:28.679><c> first</c><00:12:28.940><c> time,</c><00:12:29.159><c> or</c><00:12:29.299><c> the</c><00:12:29.460><c> second</c><00:12:29.659><c> time,</c><00:12:29.820><c> or</c>

00:12:32.500 --> 00:12:35.220
And<00:12:32.679><c> sometimes</c><00:12:32.960><c> the</c><00:12:33.240><c> trials</c><00:12:33.419><c> come</c><00:12:33.779><c> in</c><00:12:34.299><c> similar</c><00:12:34.639><c> fashion,</c><00:12:35.100><c> but</c>

00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.799
We<00:12:37.659><c> think</c><00:12:37.820><c> we've</c><00:12:38.019><c> got</c><00:12:38.139><c> past</c><00:12:38.320><c> the</c><00:12:38.500><c> first</c><00:12:38.679><c> one,</c><00:12:38.840><c> then</c><00:12:38.980><c> another</c><00:12:39.179><c> one</c><00:12:39.340><c> comes</c><00:12:39.500><c> with</c><00:12:39.679><c> a</c>

00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:43.820
and<00:12:41.019><c> we</c><00:12:41.240><c> need</c><00:12:41.419><c> another</c><00:12:42.179><c> bit</c><00:12:42.679><c> of</c><00:12:42.860><c> faith</c><00:12:43.039><c> there</c><00:12:43.179><c> to</c><00:12:43.299><c> do</c><00:12:43.419><c> that.</c>

00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:47.980
That's<00:12:44.299><c> what</c><00:12:44.440><c> God</c><00:12:44.620><c> was</c><00:12:44.799><c> doing,</c><00:12:45.919><c> managing</c><00:12:46.679><c> the</c><00:12:47.559><c> development</c>

00:13:10.299 --> 00:13:14.240
God<00:13:10.779><c> is</c><00:13:11.259><c> trying,</c><00:13:12.000><c> trying</c><00:13:12.600><c> desperately</c><00:13:13.139><c> to</c><00:13:13.679><c> get</c><00:13:13.879><c> these</c><00:13:14.080><c> people</c>

00:13:50.899 --> 00:13:54.980
It<00:13:51.039><c> is</c><00:13:51.279><c> my</c><00:13:51.539><c> purpose</c><00:13:51.860><c> to</c><00:13:52.159><c> develop</c><00:13:52.779><c> mighty</c><00:13:53.379><c> ones</c><00:13:53.740><c> who</c><00:13:54.100><c> are</c><00:13:54.360><c> descended</c><00:13:54.759><c> from</c>

00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:08.159

00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:02.359
And<00:22:59.200><c> those</c><00:22:59.400><c> memories</c><00:22:59.980><c> and</c><00:23:00.720><c> those</c><00:23:01.019><c> expositions</c><00:23:01.799><c> and</c><00:23:02.099><c> those</c>

00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.339
Otherwise<00:23:08.359><c> we</c><00:23:08.539><c> make</c><00:23:08.759><c> haste</c><00:23:09.019><c> to</c><00:23:09.160><c> forget</c><00:23:09.359><c> and</c><00:23:09.619><c> that</c><00:23:09.900><c> was</c><00:23:10.099><c> the</c><00:23:10.279><c> problem.</c>

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.400

00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:20.960
And<00:23:18.799><c> sometimes</c><00:23:19.079><c> life</c><00:23:19.319><c> can</c><00:23:19.519><c> make</c><00:23:19.599><c> us</c><00:23:19.759><c> do</c><00:23:19.839><c> the</c><00:23:20.059><c> same.</c>

00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:05.960
Why<00:24:04.400><c> do</c><00:24:04.559><c> you</c><00:24:04.660><c> tempt</c><00:24:04.799><c> God?</c>

00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:18.000
Wherefore<00:24:16.519><c> is</c><00:24:16.720><c> this</c><00:24:16.839><c> that</c><00:24:17.019><c> thou</c><00:24:17.160><c> hast</c><00:24:17.440><c> brought</c><00:24:17.559><c> us</c><00:24:17.700><c> up</c><00:24:17.839><c> out</c><00:24:17.980><c> of</c>

00:24:22.900 --> 00:24:26.319
I<00:24:23.160><c> think</c><00:24:23.240><c> those</c><00:24:23.420><c> are</c><00:24:23.539><c> the</c><00:24:23.619><c> most</c><00:24:23.900><c> saddest</c><00:24:24.220><c> words</c><00:24:24.460><c> in</c><00:24:24.619><c> this</c><00:24:24.779><c> chapter.</c>

00:24:29.740 --> 00:24:35.599
Has<00:24:30.420><c> God</c><00:24:31.099><c> called</c><00:24:32.880><c> us</c><00:24:33.079><c> from</c><00:24:33.259><c> the</c><00:24:33.420><c> nations</c><00:24:34.079><c> and</c><00:24:35.140><c> allowed</c><00:24:35.299><c> us</c><00:24:35.480><c> to</c>

00:24:41.619 --> 00:24:44.079
Think<00:24:41.819><c> about</c><00:24:42.039><c> that.</c><00:24:42.539><c> This</c><00:24:42.839><c> is</c><00:24:42.960><c> what</c><00:24:43.019><c> they're</c><00:24:43.200><c> saying.</c>

00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:47.599
That<00:24:44.299><c> God</c><00:24:44.460><c> has</c><00:24:44.799><c> delivered</c><00:24:45.119><c> us</c><00:24:45.619><c> to</c><00:24:45.880><c> kill</c><00:24:46.099><c> us.</c>

Are<00:24:51.380><c> we</c><00:24:51.799><c> called</c><00:24:52.180><c> to</c><00:24:52.579><c> be</c><00:24:52.960><c> destroyed?</c>

00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:59.500

00:25:00.980 --> 00:25:02.000
No.

00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:07.880
In<00:25:02.740><c> fact,</c><00:25:02.940><c> Peter</c><00:25:03.119><c> says</c><00:25:03.420><c> that</c><00:25:04.220><c> he's</c><00:25:04.559><c> created</c><00:25:05.119><c> an</c><00:25:05.839><c> abundant</c><00:25:06.420><c> entrance</c><00:25:07.160><c> into</c><00:25:07.720><c> the</c>

00:25:14.579 --> 00:25:16.759
Why<00:25:14.900><c> would</c><00:25:15.039><c> he</c><00:25:15.220><c> deliver</c><00:25:15.460><c> them</c><00:25:15.640><c> from</c><00:25:15.960><c> pharaohs</c><00:25:16.319><c> just</c><00:25:16.460><c> to</c><00:25:16.619><c> let</c>

00:25:17.619 --> 00:25:24.380
But<00:25:18.000><c> you</c><00:25:18.160><c> see,</c><00:25:18.440><c> the</c><00:25:18.660><c> natural</c><00:25:19.099><c> mind</c><00:25:19.460><c> can't</c><00:25:19.960><c> understand</c><00:25:21.000><c> the</c><00:25:21.440><c> purpose</c><00:25:21.740><c> behind</c><00:25:22.519><c> the</c><00:25:23.079><c> plan</c><00:25:23.380><c> and</c><00:25:23.740><c> promise</c><00:25:23.940><c> of</c><00:25:24.180><c> God.</c>

00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:26.799

He<00:32:26.619><c> certainly</c><00:32:27.000><c> is.</c>

00:32:28.420 --> 00:32:32.019
Now,<00:32:29.980><c> the</c><00:32:30.279><c> incident</c><00:32:30.599><c> isn't</c><00:32:31.019><c> closed.</c>

00:32:32.660 --> 00:32:33.859
There's<00:32:32.940><c> a</c><00:32:33.119><c> question.</c>

00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:37.819
In<00:32:34.299><c> the</c><00:32:34.519><c> sets,</c><00:32:35.039><c> it</c><00:32:35.039><c> seems,</c><00:32:35.279><c> I've</c><00:32:35.480><c> seen</c><00:32:35.900><c> before</c><00:32:36.359><c> the</c><00:32:36.539><c> era</c><00:32:36.799><c> of</c><00:32:36.960><c> the</c><00:32:37.079><c> rock</c><00:32:37.200><c> in</c><00:32:37.500><c> Horeb.</c>

00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:38.819
Yes?

00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:41.700
There<00:32:39.079><c> is</c><00:32:39.420><c> a</c><00:32:39.759><c> distance</c><00:32:40.619><c> between</c><00:32:40.779><c> Horeb</c><00:32:41.140><c> and</c><00:32:41.279><c> Rephidim.</c>

00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:46.519
Probably<00:32:42.259><c> around</c><00:32:42.519><c> about</c><00:32:43.119><c> 10,</c><00:32:43.500><c> 15</c><00:32:44.119><c> miles.</c>

00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:50.819
And<00:32:48.640><c> so</c><00:32:48.720><c> the</c><00:32:48.839><c> water</c><00:32:48.980><c> coming</c><00:32:49.180><c> out</c><00:32:49.299><c> was</c><00:32:49.440><c> enormous,</c><00:32:49.900><c> yeah.</c>

00:32:51.180 --> 00:32:53.960
To<00:32:51.319><c> flood</c><00:32:51.460><c> out,</c><00:32:51.940><c> down</c><00:32:51.980><c> that</c><00:32:52.180><c> channel,</c><00:32:52.900><c> miles</c><00:32:52.920><c> away.</c>

00:32:55.059 --> 00:32:56.839
Amazing<00:32:55.900><c> sign.</c>

00:32:57.380 --> 00:33:00.880
But<00:32:57.559><c> the</c><00:32:57.920><c> incident</c><00:32:58.519><c> hasn't</c><00:32:59.759><c> finished.</c>

00:33:01.980 --> 00:33:05.440

00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:10.779

00:33:10.900 --> 00:33:15.240
Now,<00:33:11.259><c> why</c><00:33:12.019><c> does</c><00:33:12.359><c> the</c><00:33:12.660><c> incident</c><00:33:13.119><c> make</c><00:33:14.559><c> that</c><00:33:14.980><c> link,</c>

00:33:15.299 --> 00:33:19.480

00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:27.829
God<00:33:22.539><c> rewards</c><00:33:23.319><c> us</c><00:33:24.359><c> in</c><00:33:25.319><c> the</c><00:33:25.539><c> way</c><00:33:25.839><c> in</c><00:33:26.039><c> which</c><00:33:26.180><c> we</c><00:33:26.420><c> reward</c><00:33:26.660><c> each</c><00:33:26.940><c> other.</c>

00:33:31.220 --> 00:33:34.000
They<00:33:31.220><c> had</c><00:33:31.740><c> striven</c><00:33:32.220><c> and</c><00:33:32.779><c> fought</c><00:33:33.059><c> against</c><00:33:33.559><c> God,</c>

00:33:35.180 --> 00:33:38.500
You<00:33:35.180><c> will</c><00:33:35.319><c> fight,</c><00:33:36.099><c> I</c><00:33:36.279><c> will</c><00:33:36.619><c> give</c><00:33:36.839><c> you</c><00:33:37.180><c> a</c><00:33:37.380><c> fight.</c>

00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:44.839
Amalek<00:33:42.299><c> fought</c><00:33:43.079><c> with</c><00:33:43.819><c> Israel.</c>

00:33:46.099 --> 00:33:49.740
This<00:33:46.680><c> was</c><00:33:47.119><c> the</c><00:33:47.859><c> punishment</c><00:33:48.400><c> which</c><00:33:48.640><c> God</c><00:33:48.819><c> gave,</c><00:33:49.119><c> which</c><00:33:49.400><c> matched</c>

00:33:49.740 --> 00:33:51.119
the<00:33:50.079><c> crime.</c>

00:33:52.660 --> 00:33:55.900
You<00:33:52.779><c> want</c><00:33:53.019><c> strife</c><00:33:53.400><c> and</c><00:33:53.640><c> fighting,</c><00:33:53.980><c> I</c><00:33:54.180><c> will</c><00:33:54.420><c> give</c><00:33:54.539><c> you</c><00:33:54.759><c> a</c><00:33:54.880><c> real</c><00:33:55.099><c> fight.</c>

00:33:58.880 --> 00:33:59.960
Amalek.

00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:03.960
They<00:34:01.339><c> were</c><00:34:01.619><c> a</c><00:34:02.059><c> cruel</c><00:34:02.759><c> people.</c>

00:34:05.859 --> 00:34:10.739
These<00:34:06.220><c> were</c><00:34:06.380><c> the</c><00:34:06.519><c> kind</c><00:34:06.680><c> of</c><00:34:06.880><c> people</c><00:34:07.160><c> that,</c><00:34:07.700><c> in</c><00:34:08.039><c> warfare,</c><00:34:09.099><c> in</c><00:34:09.219><c> the</c><00:34:09.340><c> book</c><00:34:09.460><c> of</c><00:34:09.699><c> Samuel,</c>

00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:23.480
They<00:34:20.300><c> were</c><00:34:20.559><c> cruel,</c><00:34:21.679><c> heartless</c><00:34:22.179><c> people.</c>

00:34:24.820 --> 00:34:28.159

00:40:31.219 --> 00:40:33.260

00:41:03.260 --> 00:41:06.260
So<00:41:03.440><c> verse</c><00:41:03.639><c> 10,</c><00:41:04.099><c> Joshua</c><00:41:04.380><c> did</c><00:41:04.699><c> as</c><00:41:04.880><c> Moses</c><00:41:05.179><c> had</c><00:41:05.440><c> said</c><00:41:05.619><c> to</c><00:41:05.820><c> him</c>

00:41:08.460 --> 00:41:12.980
And<00:41:08.579><c> Moses,</c><00:41:09.199><c> Aaron</c><00:41:09.280><c> and</c><00:41:09.559><c> Hur</c><00:41:09.860><c> went</c><00:41:10.320><c> up</c><00:41:10.539><c> to</c><00:41:10.719><c> the</c><00:41:10.820><c> top</c><00:41:11.260><c> of</c><00:41:11.940><c> the</c><00:41:12.199><c> hill.</c>

00:41:14.659 --> 00:41:16.960
Joshua<00:41:15.219><c> did</c><00:41:15.780><c> as</c><00:41:16.039><c> Moses</c><00:41:16.420><c> said,</c><00:41:16.820><c> you</c><00:41:16.960><c> know,</c>

00:41:17.019 --> 00:41:19.460
what<00:41:17.079><c> a</c><00:41:17.280><c> refreshing</c><00:41:17.519><c> change</c><00:41:17.860><c> that</c><00:41:18.099><c> is.</c>

00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:25.820
because<00:41:23.340><c> Israel</c><00:41:23.719><c> certainly</c><00:41:24.199><c> weren't.</c>

00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:29.860
But<00:41:27.599><c> Moses</c><00:41:27.860><c> takes</c><00:41:28.139><c> with</c><00:41:28.300><c> him</c><00:41:28.960><c> Aaron</c><00:41:29.340><c> and</c><00:41:29.679><c> Hur.</c>

00:41:29.900 --> 00:41:34.000
Aaron,<00:41:30.739><c> the</c><00:41:30.840><c> high</c><00:41:31.099><c> priest,</c><00:41:32.360><c> Hur</c><00:41:32.619><c> from</c><00:41:33.019><c> the</c><00:41:33.320><c> tribe</c><00:41:33.460><c> of</c><00:41:33.719><c> Judah</c>

And<00:41:47.340><c> when</c><00:41:47.440><c> he</c><00:41:47.579><c> let</c><00:41:47.719><c> down</c><00:41:47.960><c> his</c><00:41:48.199><c> hand,</c><00:41:49.340><c> Amalek</c><00:41:49.980><c> prevailed.</c>

00:41:53.219 --> 00:41:56.820
That<00:41:53.699><c> is</c><00:41:54.179><c> demonstrating</c><00:41:55.179><c> powerfully</c>

00:48:06.070 --> 00:48:09.110

So<00:48:48.710><c> of</c><00:48:48.969><c> his</c><00:48:49.230><c> own</c><00:48:49.829><c> initiative,</c><00:48:50.389><c> in</c><00:48:50.530><c> verse</c><00:48:50.710><c> 15,</c><00:48:51.550><c> he</c><00:48:51.889><c> built</c><00:48:52.269><c> an</c><00:48:52.730><c> altar.</c>

00:48:55.389 --> 00:48:57.210
Why<00:48:56.030><c> do</c><00:48:56.110><c> you</c><00:48:56.210><c> build</c><00:48:56.329><c> an</c><00:48:56.590><c> altar?</c>

00:48:58.050 --> 00:49:01.889

00:49:02.489 --> 00:49:07.349
But<00:49:02.929><c> also</c><00:49:03.230><c> he's</c><00:49:03.449><c> going</c><00:49:03.610><c> to</c><00:49:03.909><c> call</c><00:49:04.130><c> this</c><00:49:04.429><c> altar</c><00:49:04.789><c> by</c><00:49:05.230><c> a</c><00:49:05.670><c> specific</c><00:49:06.190><c> name.</c>

00:49:08.250 --> 00:49:12.190
He<00:49:08.610><c> called</c><00:49:08.949><c> this</c><00:49:09.269><c> altar</c><00:49:10.090><c> Yahweh</c><00:49:11.030><c> Nisai.</c>

00:49:12.550 --> 00:49:13.829
What<00:49:12.690><c> does</c><00:49:12.769><c> that</c><00:49:12.989><c> mean?</c>

00:49:14.750 --> 00:49:17.670

00:49:18.869 --> 00:49:23.710
So<00:49:19.429><c> he's</c><00:49:19.889><c> standing</c><00:49:20.409><c> up</c><00:49:20.989><c> on</c><00:49:21.269><c> the</c><00:49:21.510><c> rock</c><00:49:21.929><c> with</c><00:49:22.869><c> the</c><00:49:23.150><c> rod</c><00:49:23.269><c> of</c><00:49:23.510><c> God</c>

00:49:34.230 --> 00:49:36.650
And<00:49:34.289><c> so</c><00:49:34.429><c> Moses,</c><00:49:34.530><c> I</c><00:49:34.670><c> want</c><00:49:34.750><c> to</c><00:49:34.909><c> memorialize</c><00:49:35.449><c> this.</c>

00:49:37.369 --> 00:49:40.510
I<00:49:37.489><c> want</c><00:49:37.590><c> to</c><00:49:37.670><c> make</c><00:49:37.809><c> sure</c><00:49:38.010><c> that</c><00:49:38.269><c> everyone</c><00:49:38.510><c> knows</c><00:49:38.849><c> that</c><00:49:39.090><c> the</c><00:49:39.409><c> victory</c><00:49:40.050><c> on</c>

00:49:40.510 --> 00:49:42.110
this<00:49:40.710><c> occasion</c>

00:49:43.389 --> 00:49:45.469
has<00:49:43.949><c> been</c><00:49:44.150><c> due</c><00:49:44.289><c> to</c><00:49:44.409><c> the</c><00:49:44.710><c> power</c><00:49:44.909><c> of</c><00:49:45.250><c> God</c>

00:49:45.469 --> 00:49:50.469
and<00:49:45.750><c> therefore</c><00:49:46.130><c> this</c><00:49:46.449><c> altar</c><00:49:46.750><c> is</c><00:49:47.289><c> he</c><00:49:47.730><c> who</c><00:49:48.150><c> will</c><00:49:48.489><c> become</c><00:49:48.949><c> my</c><00:49:49.809><c> banner</c><00:49:50.110><c> or</c>

my<00:49:50.949><c> ensign.</c>

00:49:55.550 --> 00:49:57.489
For<00:49:55.590><c> he</c><00:49:55.869><c> said</c><00:49:55.989><c> in</c><00:49:56.170><c> verse</c><00:49:56.369><c> 16,</c>

00:50:01.670 --> 00:50:03.610
Now<00:50:01.809><c> I'm</c><00:50:01.929><c> going</c><00:50:01.989><c> to</c><00:50:02.030><c> read</c><00:50:02.210><c> to</c><00:50:02.309><c> you</c><00:50:02.389><c> the</c><00:50:02.590><c> Hebrew.</c>

Now<00:52:02.349><c> we</c><00:52:02.510><c> spoke</c><00:52:02.789><c> about</c><00:52:03.030><c> the</c><00:52:03.210><c> root</c><00:52:03.309><c> of</c><00:52:03.590><c> Jesse</c><00:52:03.710><c> in</c><00:52:03.849><c> our</c><00:52:04.070><c> atonement</c><00:52:04.409><c> classes.</c>

00:52:06.449 --> 00:52:07.690
Here<00:52:06.510><c> is</c><00:52:06.690><c> the</c><00:52:06.889><c> root</c><00:52:07.010><c> from</c><00:52:07.210><c> the</c><00:52:07.449><c> tree.</c>

00:52:07.969 --> 00:52:13.730
The<00:52:08.030><c> root</c><00:52:08.250><c> of</c><00:52:08.469><c> Jesse,</c><00:52:10.130><c> which</c><00:52:10.230><c> shall</c><00:52:10.550><c> stand</c><00:52:11.250><c> for</c><00:52:11.849><c> an</c><00:52:12.389><c> ensign</c><00:52:13.250><c> of</c>

00:52:13.730 --> 00:52:15.130
the<00:52:14.050><c> people,</c>

00:52:15.170 --> 00:52:20.489
to<00:52:15.389><c> it</c><00:52:15.690><c> shall</c><00:52:16.010><c> the</c><00:52:16.349><c> Gentiles</c><00:52:16.929><c> seek</c><00:52:17.250><c> and</c><00:52:17.610><c> his</c><00:52:17.969><c> rest</c><00:52:18.550><c> shall</c><00:52:18.929><c> be</c><00:52:19.329><c> glorious.</c>

00:52:25.090 --> 00:52:28.170
This<00:52:25.730><c> root,</c><00:52:26.510><c> this</c><00:52:26.710><c> gnarled</c><00:52:27.630><c> bit</c><00:52:27.829><c> of</c><00:52:28.050><c> root,</c>

this<00:52:28.610><c> shoot</c><00:52:28.750><c> from</c><00:52:28.949><c> the</c><00:52:29.210><c> tree,</c><00:52:29.809><c> now</c><00:52:30.030><c> becomes</c><00:52:30.429><c> this</c><00:52:30.849><c> massive</c><00:52:31.429><c> flagpole.</c>

00:52:33.809 --> 00:52:37.670
And<00:52:34.030><c> that</c><00:52:34.289><c> word</c><00:52:34.550><c> there,</c><00:52:35.130><c> ensign,</c><00:52:35.610><c> is</c><00:52:35.829><c> the</c><00:52:36.030><c> Hebrew</c><00:52:36.329><c> word</c><00:52:36.710><c> nisai.</c>

00:52:39.469 --> 00:52:42.909
He<00:52:40.010><c> who</c><00:52:40.309><c> will</c><00:52:40.550><c> become</c><00:52:41.090><c> my</c><00:52:41.670><c> ensign.</c>

00:52:43.190 --> 00:52:47.130
So<00:52:43.429><c> who</c><00:52:43.570><c> is</c><00:52:43.769><c> this</c><00:52:44.050><c> ensign</c><00:52:44.630><c> in</c><00:52:44.849><c> Isaiah</c><00:52:45.289><c> chapter</c><00:52:45.530><c> 11,</c><00:52:45.929><c> verse</c><00:52:46.150><c> 10?</c>

00:52:47.730 --> 00:52:49.719
Let's<00:52:47.929><c> come</c><00:52:48.130><c> to</c><00:52:48.289><c> Romans</c><00:52:48.590><c> chapter</c><00:52:48.929><c> 5.</c>

00:52:52.809 --> 00:52:55.469
Can't<00:52:53.110><c> read</c><00:52:53.250><c> my</c><00:52:53.429><c> notes,</c><00:52:53.650><c> Romans</c><00:52:53.909><c> 15,</c><00:52:54.429><c> I'm</c><00:52:54.690><c> sorry.</c>

00:52:55.610 --> 00:52:58.619
This<00:52:56.070><c> was</c><00:52:56.510><c> quoted</c><00:52:57.030><c> by</c><00:52:57.889><c> Paul.</c>

00:53:11.829 --> 00:53:13.250
Verse<00:53:12.289><c> 8.</c>

00:53:13.769 --> 00:53:16.250
Now<00:53:13.809><c> I</c><00:53:13.989><c> say</c><00:53:14.170><c> that</c><00:53:14.309><c> Jesus</c><00:53:14.630><c> Christ</c><00:53:14.989><c> was</c><00:53:15.170><c> a</c><00:53:15.329><c> minister</c><00:53:15.489><c> of</c><00:53:15.670><c> the</c><00:53:15.829><c> circumcision</c>

00:53:16.250 --> 00:53:18.469
for<00:53:16.429><c> the</c><00:53:16.630><c> truth</c><00:53:16.769><c> of</c><00:53:16.969><c> God</c><00:53:17.170><c> to</c><00:53:17.389><c> confirm</c><00:53:17.590><c> the</c><00:53:17.849><c> promises</c><00:53:18.090><c> made</c><00:53:18.349><c> to</c>

00:53:18.469 --> 00:53:19.530
the<00:53:18.650><c> fathers,</c>

00:53:19.650 --> 00:53:22.969
and<00:53:19.769><c> that</c><00:53:19.929><c> the</c><00:53:20.050><c> Gentiles</c><00:53:20.489><c> might</c><00:53:20.789><c> glorify</c><00:53:22.030><c> God</c><00:53:22.210><c> for</c><00:53:22.369><c> his</c><00:53:22.610><c> mercy</c>

00:53:22.969 --> 00:53:23.889
as<00:53:23.269><c> it</c><00:53:23.389><c> is</c><00:53:23.550><c> written.</c>

00:53:23.889 --> 00:53:26.329
And<00:53:24.369><c> he</c><00:53:24.530><c> quotes</c><00:53:24.929><c> a</c><00:53:25.130><c> number</c><00:53:25.349><c> of</c><00:53:25.630><c> quotations.</c>

00:53:26.670 --> 00:53:30.449
In<00:53:26.750><c> verse</c><00:53:27.030><c> 12,</c><00:53:29.329><c> again</c><00:53:29.590><c> Isaiah</c><00:53:30.010><c> says,</c>

00:53:30.690 --> 00:53:32.769
there<00:53:30.690><c> shall</c><00:53:30.969><c> be</c><00:53:31.230><c> a</c><00:53:31.429><c> root</c><00:53:31.550><c> of</c><00:53:31.809><c> Jesse,</c>

00:53:33.230 --> 00:53:36.809
and<00:53:33.289><c> he</c><00:53:33.869><c> that</c><00:53:34.190><c> shall</c><00:53:34.510><c> rise</c><00:53:34.949><c> to</c><00:53:35.309><c> reign</c><00:53:35.570><c> over</c><00:53:35.909><c> the</c><00:53:36.090><c> Gentiles,</c>

00:53:37.090 --> 00:53:39.449
in<00:53:37.429><c> him</c><00:53:37.889><c> shall</c><00:53:38.230><c> the</c><00:53:38.469><c> Gentiles</c><00:53:38.949><c> trust.</c>

00:53:39.750 --> 00:53:43.050
That's<00:53:40.090><c> the</c><00:53:40.269><c> quotation</c><00:53:40.809><c> from</c><00:53:41.070><c> Isaiah</c><00:53:41.570><c> chapter</c><00:53:41.869><c> 11,</c><00:53:42.289><c> verse</c><00:53:42.590><c> 10.</c>

00:53:43.489 --> 00:53:48.869
Who<00:53:43.809><c> is</c><00:53:44.250><c> the</c><00:53:44.570><c> ensign</c><00:53:45.389><c> to</c><00:53:45.849><c> which</c><00:53:46.030><c> the</c><00:53:46.349><c> Gentiles</c><00:53:47.110><c> will</c><00:53:47.489><c> come</c><00:53:47.909><c> and</c><00:53:48.409><c> trust?</c>

00:53:49.329 --> 00:53:51.550
The<00:53:49.550><c> answer</c><00:53:49.869><c> is</c><00:53:50.110><c> Jesus</c><00:53:50.550><c> Christ.</c>

00:53:52.909 --> 00:53:55.969
So<00:53:53.429><c> here's</c><00:53:53.809><c> the</c><00:53:53.969><c> development</c><00:53:54.309><c> of</c><00:53:54.550><c> the</c><00:53:54.690><c> theme.</c>

00:53:57.949 --> 00:53:59.869
Moses<00:53:58.050><c> seizes</c><00:53:58.389><c> the</c><00:53:58.530><c> opportunity</c><00:53:59.070><c> and</c><00:53:59.630><c> says,</c>

00:54:00.130 --> 00:54:02.369
I<00:54:00.130><c> understand,</c><00:54:00.690><c> I</c><00:54:00.789><c> understand,</c><00:54:01.250><c> I</c><00:54:01.329><c> know</c><00:54:01.489><c> what</c><00:54:01.690><c> Amalek</c><00:54:01.929><c> represents.</c>

00:54:02.429 --> 00:54:03.409
Amalek<00:54:02.710><c> represents</c><00:54:03.130><c> sin.</c>

00:54:03.650 --> 00:54:05.730
I<00:54:03.809><c> understand</c><00:54:04.090><c> that</c><00:54:04.269><c> God</c><00:54:04.409><c> will</c><00:54:04.590><c> eventually</c><00:54:04.869><c> destroy</c><00:54:05.409><c> sin.</c>

00:54:05.969 --> 00:54:08.389
So<00:54:06.150><c> I</c><00:54:06.349><c> will</c><00:54:06.570><c> establish</c><00:54:06.929><c> an</c><00:54:07.190><c> altar,</c><00:54:07.730><c> the</c><00:54:07.889><c> place</c><00:54:08.050><c> where</c><00:54:08.190><c> God</c>

00:54:08.389 --> 00:54:09.010
meets<00:54:08.650><c> man,</c>

00:54:09.329 --> 00:54:11.969
and<00:54:09.610><c> this</c><00:54:09.829><c> altar</c><00:54:10.070><c> will</c><00:54:10.230><c> be</c><00:54:10.409><c> called</c><00:54:10.530><c> Yahweh,</c><00:54:11.090><c> my</c><00:54:11.349><c> ensign</c><00:54:11.809><c> and</c>

00:54:11.969 --> 00:54:12.949
my<00:54:12.250><c> banner.</c>

00:54:13.269 --> 00:54:14.809
He<00:54:13.590><c> will</c><00:54:13.889><c> become</c><00:54:14.190><c> my</c><00:54:14.510><c> banner.</c>

00:54:15.210 --> 00:54:18.409
Isaiah<00:54:15.489><c> picks</c><00:54:15.750><c> it</c><00:54:15.869><c> up</c><00:54:15.969><c> and</c><00:54:16.110><c> says,</c><00:54:16.570><c> yes,</c><00:54:17.230><c> Jesus</c><00:54:17.630><c> Christ</c><00:54:17.989><c> is</c><00:54:18.210><c> the</c>

00:54:18.409 --> 00:54:19.170
root<00:54:18.550><c> of</c><00:54:18.869><c> Jesse.</c>

00:54:19.170 --> 00:54:21.670
He'll<00:54:19.889><c> become</c><00:54:20.289><c> the</c><00:54:20.829><c> banner.</c>

00:54:21.849 --> 00:54:26.969
But<00:54:22.130><c> this</c><00:54:22.409><c> time</c><00:54:22.650><c> he</c><00:54:22.829><c> says,</c><00:54:24.250><c> the</c><00:54:24.510><c> Gentiles</c><00:54:25.309><c> are</c><00:54:25.590><c> going</c><00:54:25.710><c> to</c><00:54:25.929><c> respond.</c>

00:54:27.449 --> 00:54:30.269
So<00:54:27.570><c> what</c><00:54:27.670><c> was</c><00:54:27.869><c> done</c><00:54:27.989><c> in</c><00:54:28.190><c> Israel</c><00:54:28.650><c> in</c><00:54:29.150><c> the</c><00:54:29.469><c> corner</c><00:54:29.630><c> of</c><00:54:29.849><c> the</c><00:54:29.889><c> wilderness,</c>

00:54:30.710 --> 00:54:33.949
Isaiah<00:54:30.969><c> says</c><00:54:31.269><c> the</c><00:54:31.590><c> world</c><00:54:32.449><c> will</c><00:54:32.829><c> respond.</c>

00:54:34.650 --> 00:54:36.909
What<00:54:34.750><c> an</c><00:54:34.949><c> amazing</c><00:54:35.309><c> perception</c><00:54:35.969><c> that</c><00:54:36.190><c> Moses</c><00:54:36.449><c> had,</c>

00:54:37.289 --> 00:54:40.429
that<00:54:37.389><c> one</c><00:54:37.590><c> day</c><00:54:37.730><c> the</c><00:54:37.889><c> whole</c><00:54:38.190><c> world</c><00:54:38.670><c> would</c><00:54:38.969><c> see</c><00:54:39.190><c> this</c><00:54:39.550><c> banner,</c>

00:54:40.730 --> 00:54:43.909
because<00:54:40.949><c> God</c><00:54:41.190><c> will</c><00:54:41.429><c> have</c><00:54:41.730><c> war</c><00:54:42.030><c> with</c><00:54:42.329><c> Amalek</c><00:54:42.789><c> from</c><00:54:43.369><c> generation</c>

00:54:43.909 --> 00:54:45.269
to<00:54:44.110><c> generation.</c>

00:54:46.050 --> 00:54:47.949
We'll<00:54:46.289><c> leave</c><00:54:46.369><c> our</c><00:54:46.590><c> study</c><00:54:46.710><c> at</c><00:54:46.849><c> that</c><00:54:47.050><c> point.</c>

00:54:49.449 --> 00:54:52.190
We<00:54:49.889><c> see</c><00:54:50.130><c> a</c><00:54:50.309><c> man</c><00:54:50.489><c> who</c><00:54:50.690><c> is</c><00:54:50.909><c> dependent</c><00:54:51.170><c> on</c><00:54:51.389><c> God</c><00:54:51.530><c> in</c><00:54:51.710><c> every</c><00:54:51.929><c> way,</c>

00:54:52.289 --> 00:54:55.769
a<00:54:52.349><c> man</c><00:54:53.250><c> frustrated</c><00:54:53.949><c> with</c><00:54:54.170><c> Israel</c><00:54:54.570><c> but</c><00:54:54.869><c> doing</c><00:54:55.170><c> everything</c><00:54:55.550><c> he</c>

00:54:55.769 --> 00:54:56.429
