And<00:01:13.579><c> maybe</c><00:01:14.079><c> this</c><00:01:14.459><c> explains</c><00:01:14.980><c> the</c><00:01:15.319><c> reaction</c><00:01:15.780><c> of</c><00:01:16.060><c> Josiah,</c><00:01:16.859><c> what</c>

00:01:16.980 --> 00:01:19.920

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:31.900
Verse<00:01:27.900><c> 3</c><00:01:28.379><c> of</c><00:01:29.260><c> Psalm</c><00:01:29.480><c> 51,</c><00:01:31.200><c> it</c><00:01:31.200><c> says,</c>

00:01:31.900 --> 00:01:35.459
For<00:01:32.019><c> I</c><00:01:32.280><c> acknowledge</c><00:01:32.859><c> my</c><00:01:33.319><c> transgressions,</c><00:01:34.500><c> and</c><00:01:34.680><c> my</c><00:01:35.040><c> sin</c><00:01:35.200><c> is</c>

00:01:35.459 --> 00:01:36.579
ever<00:01:35.680><c> before</c><00:01:36.120><c> me.</c>

00:01:36.939 --> 00:01:40.680
Against<00:01:37.280><c> thee,</c><00:01:38.200><c> thee</c><00:01:38.480><c> only</c><00:01:38.879><c> have</c><00:01:39.140><c> I</c><00:01:39.459><c> sinned,</c><00:01:40.040><c> and</c><00:01:40.239><c> done</c><00:01:40.379><c> that</c>

00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.879
which<00:01:40.859><c> is</c><00:01:41.180><c> evil</c><00:01:41.459><c> in</c><00:01:41.700><c> thy</c><00:01:41.900><c> sight,</c><00:01:42.719><c> that</c>

00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.299
thou<00:01:43.099><c> mayest</c><00:01:43.500><c> be</c><00:01:43.780><c> justified</c><00:01:44.459><c> when</c><00:01:44.700><c> thou</c><00:01:45.000><c> speakest,</c><00:01:45.840><c> and</c><00:01:45.980><c> be</c>

00:01:46.299 --> 00:01:48.019

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:55.340
So<00:01:49.280><c> David</c><00:01:49.719><c> was</c><00:01:50.120><c> very,</c><00:01:51.040><c> very</c><00:01:51.040><c> clear</c><00:01:51.560><c> about</c><00:01:53.060><c> exactly</c><00:01:54.120><c> who</c><00:01:55.019><c> was</c>

00:01:55.340 --> 00:01:57.400
affected<00:01:55.819><c> by</c><00:01:56.219><c> his</c><00:01:56.560><c> sin.</c>

00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:59.060
It<00:01:58.159><c> went</c><00:01:58.340><c> right</c><00:01:58.560><c> to</c><00:01:58.780><c> God.</c>

00:01:59.060 --> 00:02:02.079
There<00:01:59.319><c> were</c><00:01:59.599><c> lots</c><00:01:59.859><c> of</c><00:02:00.060><c> people</c><00:02:00.280><c> that</c><00:02:00.400><c> were</c><00:02:00.599><c> affected</c><00:02:00.980><c> by</c><00:02:01.280><c> David's</c><00:02:01.900><c> sin,</c>

00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.140
but<00:02:03.500><c> it</c><00:02:04.079><c> was</c><00:02:04.340><c> to</c><00:02:04.599><c> God</c><00:02:04.840><c> that</c><00:02:05.000><c> he</c>

00:02:05.140 --> 00:02:06.299
was<00:02:05.340><c> most</c><00:02:05.680><c> concerned.</c>

00:02:06.780 --> 00:02:10.879
And<00:02:07.099><c> so</c><00:02:07.280><c> as</c><00:02:07.620><c> the</c><00:02:07.840><c> nation</c><00:02:08.280><c> and</c><00:02:08.759><c> the</c><00:02:09.060><c> king</c><00:02:09.319><c> were</c><00:02:09.939><c> not</c><00:02:10.340><c> doing</c><00:02:10.620><c> the</c>

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.379
things<00:02:11.159><c> prescribed</c><00:02:11.719><c> in</c><00:02:11.919><c> the</c><00:02:12.120><c> law,</c><00:02:13.120><c> I</c>

00:02:13.379 --> 00:02:17.240
believe<00:02:13.680><c> that</c><00:02:13.939><c> Josiah</c><00:02:14.520><c> felt</c><00:02:14.860><c> that</c><00:02:15.120><c> that</c><00:02:15.280><c> was</c><00:02:15.500><c> a</c><00:02:15.780><c> personal</c><00:02:16.240><c> affront</c><00:02:16.759><c> to</c>

00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:18.439
his<00:02:17.560><c> God.</c>

00:02:18.659 --> 00:02:21.800
And<00:02:18.939><c> why</c><00:02:19.419><c> the</c><00:02:20.060><c> drastic</c><00:02:20.659><c> reaction?</c>

00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.479
Well<00:02:22.039><c> look</c><00:02:22.400><c> down</c><00:02:22.620><c> to</c><00:02:22.800><c> verse</c><00:02:23.000><c> 11</c><00:02:23.419><c> first.</c>

00:02:24.939 --> 00:02:29.939
He<00:02:25.539><c> says,</c><00:02:27.000><c> Cast</c><00:02:27.080><c> me</c><00:02:27.319><c> not</c><00:02:27.520><c> away</c><00:02:27.879><c> from</c><00:02:28.080><c> thy</c><00:02:28.340><c> presence,</c><00:02:29.439><c> and</c><00:02:29.639><c> take</c>

00:02:29.939 --> 00:02:32.819

00:02:33.979 --> 00:02:38.219
We've<00:02:34.340><c> heard</c><00:02:34.500><c> a</c><00:02:36.180><c> phrase</c><00:02:36.620><c> almost</c><00:02:36.979><c> exactly</c><00:02:37.479><c> the</c><00:02:37.699><c> same</c><00:02:37.879><c> as</c><00:02:38.080><c> this,</c>

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.060

00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:44.020
Where<00:02:40.539><c> was</c><00:02:40.800><c> it</c><00:02:40.960><c> that</c><00:02:41.159><c> Cain</c><00:02:41.460><c> went</c><00:02:42.080><c> after</c><00:02:42.819><c> his</c><00:02:43.139><c> sin?</c>

00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:49.639
It<00:02:44.800><c> was</c><00:02:45.280><c> out</c><00:02:45.639><c> of</c><00:02:45.780><c> the</c><00:02:46.000><c> presence</c><00:02:46.280><c> of</c><00:02:46.520><c> the</c><00:02:46.680><c> Lord,</c><00:02:47.180><c> and</c><00:02:48.240><c> there</c><00:02:49.099><c> he</c><00:02:49.300><c> went.</c>

00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.879
He<00:02:50.199><c> was</c><00:02:50.439><c> concerned</c><00:02:50.900><c> about</c><00:02:51.159><c> what</c><00:02:51.340><c> would</c><00:02:51.539><c> happen</c><00:02:51.819><c> to</c><00:02:52.060><c> him,</c><00:02:52.379><c> but</c>

00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.280

00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.360
So<00:07:25.139><c> he</c><00:07:25.639><c> thought</c><00:07:25.879><c> that</c><00:07:26.060><c> he</c><00:07:26.139><c> could</c><00:07:26.319><c> have</c><00:07:26.660><c> Bathsheba.</c>

00:07:41.259 --> 00:07:43.620
We<00:07:41.379><c> might</c><00:07:41.600><c> think</c><00:07:41.779><c> even</c><00:07:42.060><c> overreacted</c><00:07:42.839><c> as</c><00:07:42.920><c> we</c><00:07:43.100><c> look</c><00:07:43.199><c> at</c><00:07:43.379><c> the</c><00:07:43.480><c> end</c>

00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:59.699
We<00:07:55.240><c> almost</c><00:07:55.560><c> feel</c><00:07:55.860><c> like</c><00:07:56.060><c> he's</c><00:07:56.680><c> overreacting</c><00:07:57.480><c> in</c><00:07:58.319><c> some</c><00:07:58.660><c> instances.</c>

00:07:59.939 --> 00:08:04.600

00:08:09.420 --> 00:08:13.339

00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:27.360
You<00:08:24.420><c> have</c><00:08:24.620><c> to</c><00:08:24.839><c> take</c><00:08:25.079><c> care</c><00:08:25.259><c> of</c><00:08:25.439><c> a</c><00:08:25.639><c> problem</c><00:08:25.899><c> like</c><00:08:26.240><c> that</c><00:08:26.680><c> right</c><00:08:26.959><c> away.</c>

00:08:40.580 --> 00:08:41.940
But<00:08:40.820><c> I</c><00:08:40.960><c> think</c><00:08:41.120><c> that's</c><00:08:41.440><c> the</c><00:08:41.679><c> point.</c>

00:08:42.259 --> 00:08:45.019
We<00:08:42.659><c> don't</c><00:08:42.860><c> have</c><00:08:43.080><c> to</c><00:08:43.200><c> go</c><00:08:43.340><c> to</c><00:08:43.500><c> the</c><00:08:43.779><c> literalness</c><00:08:44.259><c> of</c><00:08:44.480><c> it,</c><00:08:44.879><c> but</c>

00:08:45.019 --> 00:08:47.360
it's<00:08:45.340><c> saying</c><00:08:45.639><c> that</c><00:08:46.059><c> without</c><00:08:46.759><c> that</c><00:08:47.179><c> sort</c>

00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:53.659
exactly<00:08:52.159><c> the</c><00:08:52.419><c> situation</c><00:08:52.820><c> we</c><00:08:53.059><c> put</c><00:08:53.200><c> ourselves</c>

00:08:53.659 --> 00:08:53.980

00:08:54.379 --> 00:08:57.940
And<00:08:54.539><c> so</c><00:08:54.659><c> in</c><00:08:54.860><c> Josiah's</c><00:08:55.500><c> estimation,</c><00:08:56.440><c> it</c><00:08:56.580><c> had</c><00:08:56.799><c> to</c><00:08:56.980><c> be</c><00:08:57.159><c> done,</c><00:08:57.720><c> and</c>

Now<00:09:09.659><c> what's</c><00:09:10.320><c> the</c><00:09:10.600><c> assessment</c><00:09:11.120><c> of</c><00:09:11.659><c> God</c><00:09:12.120><c> through</c><00:09:12.539><c> the</c><00:09:12.840><c> prophetess</c><00:09:13.639><c> as</c><00:09:14.159><c> far</c>

00:10:56.139 --> 00:11:00.220
Was<00:10:56.360><c> there</c><00:10:56.600><c> an</c><00:10:56.980><c> excitement</c><00:10:57.580><c> about</c><00:10:58.759><c> speaking</c><00:10:59.360><c> about</c><00:10:59.659><c> the</c><00:10:59.820><c> things</c><00:10:59.980><c> that</c>

00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:17.419

00:12:07.980 --> 00:12:10.000
That's<00:12:08.519><c> the</c><00:12:08.620><c> way</c><00:12:08.759><c> he</c><00:12:09.000><c> was.</c>

00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:34.059
They<00:12:30.840><c> shouldn't</c><00:12:31.159><c> be</c><00:12:31.639><c> burdensome</c><00:12:32.379><c> things</c><00:12:32.740><c> to</c><00:12:33.019><c> do</c><00:12:33.460><c> every</c><00:12:33.879><c> day</c>

00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.799
They<00:12:35.480><c> should</c><00:12:35.639><c> be</c><00:12:35.820><c> the</c><00:12:36.019><c> guiding</c><00:12:36.360><c> principles</c><00:12:37.000><c> of</c><00:12:37.200><c> our</c><00:12:37.440><c> life.</c>

00:12:38.139 --> 00:12:42.019
And<00:12:38.360><c> as</c><00:12:38.519><c> they</c><00:12:38.799><c> become</c><00:12:39.080><c> more</c><00:12:39.600><c> clear</c><00:12:39.840><c> to</c><00:12:40.100><c> us,</c><00:12:40.820><c> that's</c><00:12:41.159><c> how</c><00:12:41.379><c> we</c><00:12:41.659><c> grow.</c>

00:12:42.019 --> 00:12:46.320
We<00:12:42.720><c> immediately</c><00:12:43.799><c> react</c><00:12:44.659><c> to</c><00:12:45.179><c> the</c><00:12:45.379><c> things</c><00:12:45.559><c> that</c><00:12:45.820><c> we</c><00:12:46.000><c> know</c><00:12:46.159><c> and</c>

00:12:54.659 --> 00:12:57.820
I'm<00:12:54.840><c> not</c><00:12:55.039><c> sure</c><00:12:55.220><c> I</c><00:12:55.460><c> understand</c><00:12:56.019><c> verse</c><00:12:56.379><c> 20.</c>

00:12:58.980 --> 00:13:02.899
I<00:12:59.399><c> hope</c><00:12:59.779><c> that</c><00:13:00.259><c> it's</c><00:13:00.620><c> referring</c><00:13:00.960><c> to</c><00:13:01.320><c> eternal</c><00:13:01.779><c> things.</c>

00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:04.620
It<00:13:03.919><c> says,</c>

00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:17.860
That<00:13:13.379><c> didn't</c><00:13:14.059><c> happen</c><00:13:14.840><c> literally</c><00:13:15.620><c> in</c><00:13:16.460><c> the</c><00:13:16.539><c> life</c><00:13:16.840><c> of</c><00:13:17.039><c> Josiah.</c>

00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.120
It's<00:13:18.440><c> true</c><00:13:18.779><c> that</c><00:13:19.000><c> he</c><00:13:19.139><c> didn't</c><00:13:19.500><c> see</c><00:13:20.259><c> the</c><00:13:20.679><c> Babylonians</c><00:13:21.320><c> come</c><00:13:21.700><c> and</c>

00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:32.000
He<00:13:28.179><c> wasn't</c><00:13:28.500><c> alive</c><00:13:28.860><c> when</c><00:13:29.019><c> that</c><00:13:29.240><c> took</c><00:13:29.500><c> place,</c><00:13:30.379><c> but</c><00:13:31.039><c> he</c><00:13:31.480><c> certainly</c><00:13:31.779><c> didn't</c>

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.399

00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:37.080
He<00:13:33.960><c> went</c><00:13:34.100><c> out,</c><00:13:34.639><c> equipped</c><00:13:34.840><c> himself</c><00:13:35.379><c> in</c><00:13:35.820><c> battle</c><00:13:36.080><c> and</c><00:13:36.240><c> went</c><00:13:36.480><c> out</c>

00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:39.759

00:13:40.259 --> 00:13:44.720
But<00:13:40.539><c> I</c><00:13:40.720><c> wonder</c><00:13:40.919><c> if</c><00:13:41.179><c> this</c><00:13:41.440><c> is</c><00:13:41.720><c> speaking</c><00:13:42.000><c> about</c><00:13:42.940><c> eternal</c><00:13:43.620><c> things.</c>

00:15:04.340 --> 00:15:08.240

00:16:22.460 --> 00:16:28.980
You<00:16:22.539><c> realize,</c><00:16:23.000><c> because</c><00:16:23.120><c> I've</c><00:16:23.360><c> been</c><00:16:23.460><c> going</c><00:16:23.720><c> back</c><00:16:24.059><c> fairly</c><00:16:24.480><c> freely</c><00:16:24.720><c> between</c><00:16:25.519><c> 2</c><00:16:25.919><c> Kings</c><00:16:26.340><c> and</c><00:16:27.100><c> 2</c><00:16:27.779><c> Chronicles,</c>

00:16:29.100 --> 00:16:31.919
is<00:16:29.320><c> that</c><00:16:29.620><c> we</c><00:16:29.820><c> have</c><00:16:30.019><c> two</c><00:16:30.259><c> accounts,</c><00:16:30.580><c> obviously,</c><00:16:31.200><c> of</c><00:16:31.299><c> the</c><00:16:31.460><c> things</c><00:16:31.600><c> that</c>

00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:33.399
happened<00:16:32.159><c> in</c><00:16:32.620><c> Josiah's</c><00:16:33.240><c> life.</c>

00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:36.019
Many<00:16:34.000><c> times</c><00:16:34.259><c> we</c><00:16:34.360><c> can</c><00:16:34.460><c> go</c><00:16:34.580><c> to</c><00:16:34.700><c> the</c><00:16:34.840><c> prophets</c><00:16:35.120><c> and</c><00:16:35.340><c> actually</c><00:16:35.600><c> find</c><00:16:35.840><c> out</c>

00:16:36.019 --> 00:16:37.879
some<00:16:36.220><c> more</c><00:16:36.440><c> details</c><00:16:36.860><c> about</c><00:16:37.419><c> what</c><00:16:37.659><c> happened</c>

00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:38.879
in<00:16:38.059><c> Josiah's</c><00:16:38.700><c> life.</c>

00:16:39.259 --> 00:16:42.519
But<00:16:39.379><c> I</c><00:16:39.519><c> just</c><00:16:39.580><c> want</c><00:16:39.679><c> to</c><00:16:39.799><c> mention</c><00:16:40.000><c> there</c><00:16:40.179><c> is</c><00:16:40.639><c> an</c><00:16:40.960><c> emphasis</c><00:16:41.360><c> difference</c><00:16:41.960><c> when</c>

00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:44.240
we<00:16:42.820><c> read</c><00:16:43.100><c> Kings</c><00:16:43.580><c> and</c><00:16:43.899><c> when</c><00:16:43.980><c> we</c>

00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:45.080
read<00:16:44.500><c> Chronicles.</c>

00:16:45.299 --> 00:16:48.100
And<00:16:45.519><c> it</c><00:16:45.580><c> doesn't</c><00:16:45.840><c> come</c><00:16:46.059><c> out</c><00:16:46.299><c> any</c><00:16:46.600><c> more</c><00:16:46.860><c> clearly</c><00:16:47.340><c> than</c><00:16:47.820><c> in</c><00:16:47.960><c> the</c>

00:16:48.100 --> 00:16:49.059
life<00:16:48.299><c> of</c><00:16:48.559><c> Josiah.</c>

00:16:49.259 --> 00:16:51.139
Let<00:16:49.559><c> me</c><00:16:49.659><c> give</c><00:16:49.820><c> you</c><00:16:49.980><c> an</c><00:16:50.159><c> example.</c>

00:16:51.299 --> 00:16:54.460
First,<00:16:51.679><c> I'll</c><00:16:51.759><c> tell</c><00:16:52.000><c> you</c><00:16:52.100><c> what</c><00:16:52.259><c> I</c><00:16:52.460><c> feel</c><00:16:52.659><c> the</c><00:16:52.879><c> emphasis</c><00:16:53.220><c> difference</c><00:16:54.139><c> is.</c>

00:16:54.740 --> 00:16:58.740
And<00:16:54.899><c> then</c><00:16:55.179><c> as</c><00:16:55.419><c> we</c><00:16:55.580><c> look</c><00:16:55.779><c> at</c><00:16:56.139><c> how</c><00:16:56.360><c> it's</c><00:16:56.720><c> written</c><00:16:57.419><c> about</c><00:16:58.080><c> Josiah,</c>

00:16:58.820 --> 00:17:00.279
I<00:16:58.919><c> think</c><00:16:59.059><c> it</c><00:16:59.259><c> becomes</c><00:16:59.539><c> pretty</c><00:16:59.980><c> clear.</c>

00:17:00.740 --> 00:17:04.680
I<00:17:00.919><c> think</c><00:17:01.159><c> that</c><00:17:01.360><c> the</c><00:17:01.440><c> book</c><00:17:01.620><c> of</c><00:17:01.940><c> Kings,</c><00:17:02.740><c> Samuel</c><00:17:03.019><c> included</c><00:17:03.399><c> as</c><00:17:03.639><c> well,</c><00:17:04.000><c> our</c><00:17:04.160><c> books</c><00:17:04.420><c> of</c>

00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:05.480
Samuel<00:17:04.960><c> and</c><00:17:05.160><c> the</c><00:17:05.279><c> books</c>

00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:11.819
of<00:17:05.759><c> Kings,</c><00:17:07.319><c> I</c><00:17:07.640><c> believe</c><00:17:08.299><c> that</c><00:17:09.160><c> the</c><00:17:09.619><c> emphasis</c><00:17:10.059><c> there</c><00:17:10.519><c> is</c><00:17:10.920><c> on</c><00:17:11.460><c> the</c>

00:17:11.819 --> 00:17:13.240
prophets<00:17:12.220><c> and</c><00:17:12.660><c> prophecy.</c>

00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:21.160
But<00:17:13.819><c> most</c><00:17:14.279><c> especially,</c><00:17:15.500><c> the</c><00:17:15.640><c> fulfillment</c><00:17:16.539><c> of</c><00:17:17.299><c> God</c><00:17:17.720><c> of</c><00:17:18.519><c> prophecies</c><00:17:19.480><c> and</c><00:17:20.059><c> the</c><00:17:20.440><c> keeping</c><00:17:20.799><c> of</c>

00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:22.500
his<00:17:21.480><c> covenant.</c>

00:17:22.619 --> 00:17:25.799
That<00:17:22.900><c> seems</c><00:17:23.259><c> to</c><00:17:23.500><c> be</c><00:17:23.680><c> the</c><00:17:24.039><c> predominant</c><00:17:24.839><c> thing</c><00:17:25.180><c> when</c><00:17:25.400><c> you</c><00:17:25.619><c> read</c>

00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:27.079
through<00:17:26.019><c> the</c><00:17:26.259><c> Kings.</c>

00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:31.799
And<00:17:27.460><c> so</c><00:17:27.779><c> there's</c><00:17:28.279><c> an</c><00:17:29.019><c> overemphasis</c><00:17:29.779><c> almost</c><00:17:30.299><c> on</c><00:17:30.880><c> the</c><00:17:31.119><c> fact</c><00:17:31.319><c> that</c><00:17:31.579><c> God</c>

00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:33.619
has<00:17:32.140><c> said</c><00:17:32.299><c> something,</c><00:17:32.799><c> and</c><00:17:33.140><c> look,</c>

00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:35.160
he's<00:17:34.200><c> fulfilling</c><00:17:34.640><c> it.</c>

00:17:35.579 --> 00:17:38.039
And<00:17:35.880><c> so</c><00:17:35.980><c> when</c><00:17:36.119><c> you</c><00:17:36.279><c> read</c><00:17:36.440><c> through</c><00:17:36.680><c> Kings,</c><00:17:37.319><c> see</c><00:17:37.519><c> if</c><00:17:37.640><c> you</c><00:17:37.819><c> don't</c>

00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:39.619
get<00:17:38.259><c> a</c><00:17:38.420><c> feeling</c><00:17:38.680><c> in</c><00:17:39.039><c> that</c><00:17:39.339><c> way.</c>

00:17:39.619 --> 00:17:43.960
And<00:17:40.200><c> in</c><00:17:40.599><c> Chronicles,</c><00:17:41.339><c> we</c><00:17:41.660><c> seem</c><00:17:42.000><c> to</c><00:17:42.440><c> have</c><00:17:42.740><c> the</c><00:17:43.099><c> bent</c><00:17:43.400><c> towards</c>

00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:45.380
the<00:17:44.240><c> Levites.</c>

00:17:45.660 --> 00:17:49.420
When<00:17:45.759><c> you</c><00:17:46.339><c> read</c><00:17:46.759><c> the</c><00:17:47.960><c> accounting</c><00:17:48.259><c> Chronicles,</c><00:17:48.799><c> it</c><00:17:48.960><c> seems</c><00:17:49.240><c> to</c>

00:17:49.420 --> 00:17:50.759
be<00:17:49.539><c> from</c><00:17:49.740><c> their</c><00:17:50.039><c> point</c><00:17:50.339><c> of</c><00:17:50.539><c> view.</c>

00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:54.900
So<00:17:51.160><c> there's</c><00:17:51.460><c> a</c><00:17:51.640><c> great</c><00:17:51.859><c> concern</c><00:17:52.539><c> for</c><00:17:53.019><c> the</c><00:17:53.240><c> things</c><00:17:53.440><c> of</c><00:17:53.680><c> the</c><00:17:53.880><c> temple,</c><00:17:54.700><c> a</c>

great<00:17:55.079><c> concern</c><00:17:55.480><c> for</c><00:17:55.740><c> the</c><00:17:56.039><c> services</c>

00:17:57.259 --> 00:18:01.119
that<00:17:57.559><c> go</c><00:17:57.819><c> on</c><00:17:58.079><c> in</c><00:17:58.400><c> the</c><00:17:58.599><c> temple,</c><00:17:59.180><c> the</c><00:17:59.619><c> sacrifices,</c><00:18:00.660><c> the</c><00:18:00.859><c> things</c>

00:18:03.339 --> 00:18:06.200
do<00:18:03.880><c> to</c><00:18:04.400><c> help</c><00:18:04.619><c> the</c><00:18:04.859><c> people</c><00:18:05.140><c> of</c><00:18:05.420><c> God.</c>

00:18:06.220 --> 00:18:09.900
Now,<00:18:07.079><c> just</c><00:18:07.240><c> to</c><00:18:07.400><c> give</c><00:18:07.519><c> you</c><00:18:07.619><c> an</c><00:18:07.799><c> example</c><00:18:08.180><c> of</c><00:18:08.359><c> this,</c><00:18:09.500><c> take</c><00:18:09.660><c> a</c><00:18:09.779><c> look</c>

00:18:09.900 --> 00:18:12.140

00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:13.559
right<00:18:12.420><c> there.</c>

00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:19.099
In<00:18:14.480><c> 2</c><00:18:14.720><c> Kings</c><00:18:15.039><c> 23,</c><00:18:15.940><c> verses</c><00:18:16.200><c> 15</c><00:18:16.859><c> to</c><00:18:17.019><c> 20,</c><00:18:18.519><c> which</c><00:18:18.700><c> we're</c><00:18:18.859><c> going</c><00:18:19.000><c> to</c>

00:18:19.099 --> 00:18:22.079
take<00:18:19.279><c> a</c><00:18:19.380><c> look</c><00:18:19.579><c> at</c><00:18:20.140><c> tomorrow,</c><00:18:21.640><c> what</c><00:18:21.839><c> it</c>

is,<00:18:22.480><c> is</c><00:18:22.700><c> the</c><00:18:22.940><c> fulfillment</c><00:18:23.740><c> of</c><00:18:25.720><c> a</c><00:18:25.960><c> prophecy</c><00:18:26.339><c> that</c><00:18:26.559><c> had</c><00:18:26.720><c> been</c>

00:18:29.259 --> 00:18:32.140
Remember<00:18:29.500><c> when</c><00:18:29.680><c> the</c><00:18:29.819><c> man</c><00:18:30.019><c> of</c><00:18:30.240><c> God</c><00:18:30.400><c> out</c><00:18:30.640><c> of</c><00:18:30.819><c> Judah</c><00:18:31.019><c> came</c><00:18:31.400><c> and</c><00:18:31.599><c> he</c>

But<00:28:43.740><c> that's</c><00:28:44.160><c> really</c><00:28:44.420><c> not</c><00:28:44.640><c> important.</c>

00:28:45.619 --> 00:28:50.180
It's<00:28:45.980><c> the</c><00:28:46.259><c> first</c><00:28:47.140><c> month</c><00:28:47.880><c> when</c><00:28:48.539><c> we</c><00:28:48.839><c> make</c><00:28:49.019><c> a</c><00:28:49.220><c> new</c><00:28:49.440><c> beginning</c><00:28:49.900><c> of</c>

00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:55.539
And<00:28:52.240><c> so</c><00:28:52.519><c> they</c><00:28:52.880><c> celebrated,</c><00:28:53.559><c> as</c><00:28:53.799><c> according</c><00:28:54.140><c> to</c><00:28:54.359><c> the</c><00:28:54.559><c> law,</c><00:28:55.299><c> they</c>

00:28:55.539 --> 00:28:56.680
celebrated<00:28:55.960><c> the</c><00:28:56.240><c> Passover.</c>

00:28:57.059 --> 00:28:58.380
They<00:28:57.279><c> made</c><00:28:57.460><c> a</c><00:28:57.660><c> new</c><00:28:57.839><c> beginning.</c>

00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:00.160
And<00:28:58.880><c> that's</c><00:28:59.099><c> what</c><00:28:59.259><c> it</c><00:28:59.619><c> signifies.</c>

00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.859
It<00:29:00.839><c> certainly</c><00:29:01.180><c> was</c><00:29:01.460><c> a</c><00:29:01.619><c> new</c><00:29:01.819><c> beginning</c><00:29:02.299><c> for</c><00:29:02.779><c> the</c><00:29:02.960><c> children</c><00:29:03.220><c> of</c><00:29:03.400><c> Israel</c>

00:29:03.859 --> 00:29:08.940
that<00:29:04.460><c> had</c><00:29:04.680><c> experienced</c><00:29:05.579><c> that</c><00:29:06.240><c> first</c><00:29:06.640><c> Passover</c><00:29:07.180><c> when</c><00:29:08.180><c> they</c><00:29:08.380><c> were</c><00:29:08.579><c> told</c><00:29:08.759><c> to</c>

00:29:08.940 --> 00:29:09.920

00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:12.799
and<00:29:10.180><c> soon</c><00:29:10.480><c> would</c><00:29:10.680><c> be</c><00:29:10.900><c> leaving</c><00:29:11.240><c> Egypt,</c><00:29:11.779><c> out</c><00:29:11.960><c> of</c><00:29:12.099><c> the</c><00:29:12.339><c> darkness</c>

00:29:16.940 --> 00:29:18.579
It<00:29:17.160><c> was</c><00:29:17.359><c> a</c><00:29:17.440><c> new</c><00:29:17.640><c> beginning</c><00:29:17.980><c> for</c><00:29:18.240><c> them.</c>

00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:21.779
And<00:29:18.920><c> so</c><00:29:19.059><c> it</c><00:29:19.220><c> was</c><00:29:19.539><c> for</c><00:29:20.039><c> the</c><00:29:20.220><c> people</c><00:29:20.440><c> of</c><00:29:20.640><c> Israel,</c><00:29:21.359><c> or</c><00:29:21.480><c> I</c><00:29:21.559><c> should</c>

00:29:21.779 --> 00:29:23.539
say<00:29:21.940><c> for</c><00:29:22.119><c> the</c><00:29:22.259><c> people</c><00:29:22.460><c> of</c><00:29:22.759><c> Judah.</c>

00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:27.539
But<00:29:24.119><c> that</c><00:29:24.440><c> included</c><00:29:24.839><c> many</c><00:29:25.140><c> from</c><00:29:25.400><c> Israel</c><00:29:25.880><c> in</c><00:29:26.359><c> the</c><00:29:26.559><c> time</c><00:29:26.779><c> of</c><00:29:27.019><c> Josiah.</c>

00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:30.140
Let's<00:29:28.119><c> just</c><00:29:28.319><c> take</c><00:29:28.519><c> a</c><00:29:28.759><c> quick</c><00:29:29.000><c> look</c><00:29:29.380><c> at</c><00:29:29.579><c> the</c><00:29:29.819><c> Passover.</c>

00:29:30.140 --> 00:29:35.960
I<00:29:30.240><c> want</c><00:29:30.460><c> to</c><00:29:30.619><c> make</c><00:29:31.019><c> another</c><00:29:32.279><c> comparison</c><00:29:34.299><c> with</c><00:29:34.960><c> what</c><00:29:35.259><c> Hezekiah</c><00:29:35.759><c> did,</c>

00:29:36.140 --> 00:29:38.440
because<00:29:36.220><c> he</c><00:29:36.460><c> celebrated</c><00:29:36.900><c> a</c><00:29:37.019><c> wonderful</c><00:29:37.480><c> Passover</c><00:29:37.900><c> too.</c>

00:29:38.740 --> 00:29:40.859
Again,<00:29:39.019><c> he</c><00:29:39.140><c> had</c><00:29:39.319><c> to</c><00:29:39.440><c> do</c><00:29:39.559><c> the</c><00:29:39.720><c> same</c><00:29:39.900><c> thing</c><00:29:40.099><c> that</c><00:29:40.279><c> Josiah</c><00:29:40.680><c> did.</c>

00:29:40.940 --> 00:29:42.480
He<00:29:40.980><c> had</c><00:29:41.180><c> to</c><00:29:41.440><c> destroy</c><00:29:41.759><c> idolatry.</c>

00:29:42.740 --> 00:29:45.180
He<00:29:42.900><c> had</c><00:29:43.140><c> to</c><00:29:43.640><c> understand</c><00:29:44.039><c> exactly</c><00:29:44.500><c> what</c><00:29:44.680><c> the</c><00:29:44.799><c> word</c><00:29:44.920><c> of</c><00:29:45.019><c> the</c>

00:29:45.180 --> 00:29:45.680
Lord<00:29:45.380><c> was,</c>

00:29:45.740 --> 00:29:47.160

00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:50.579
And<00:29:47.640><c> then</c><00:29:48.140><c> the</c><00:29:48.480><c> first</c><00:29:48.720><c> thing</c><00:29:48.880><c> he</c><00:29:49.140><c> did</c><00:29:49.299><c> after</c><00:29:49.619><c> getting</c><00:29:49.920><c> the</c><00:29:50.119><c> people</c><00:29:50.339><c> to</c>

00:29:50.579 --> 00:29:51.519

00:29:54.819 --> 00:29:59.119
But<00:29:55.619><c> boy,</c><00:29:56.039><c> there</c><00:29:56.240><c> is</c><00:29:56.460><c> a</c><00:29:56.599><c> real</c><00:29:57.140><c> emphasis</c><00:29:57.660><c> difference</c><00:29:58.460><c> between</c>

00:30:03.740 --> 00:30:06.359
Let's<00:30:03.900><c> go</c><00:30:04.079><c> back</c><00:30:04.319><c> and</c><00:30:04.420><c> look</c><00:30:04.559><c> at</c><00:30:04.700><c> Hezekiah's</c><00:30:05.420><c> Passover</c><00:30:05.720><c> just</c>

00:30:10.579 --> 00:30:12.819
I<00:30:10.700><c> think</c><00:30:10.839><c> it's</c><00:30:11.200><c> wonderful</c><00:30:11.539><c> that</c><00:30:11.940><c> our</c><00:30:12.299><c> language,</c>

00:34:41.500 --> 00:34:42.579
She<00:34:41.699><c> laid</c><00:34:41.920><c> it</c><00:34:42.039><c> on</c><00:34:42.139><c> the</c><00:34:42.320><c> Lord.</c>

00:34:42.659 --> 00:34:43.699
He'll<00:34:42.980><c> take</c><00:34:43.179><c> care</c><00:34:43.360><c> of</c><00:34:43.519><c> it.</c>

00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:45.780
She<00:34:44.260><c> cast</c><00:34:44.539><c> in</c><00:34:44.719><c> her</c><00:34:44.880><c> two</c><00:34:45.059><c> mites.</c>

00:34:45.980 --> 00:34:49.059
But<00:34:46.159><c> the</c><00:34:46.440><c> Pharisee,</c><00:34:47.159><c> he</c><00:34:47.400><c> never</c><00:34:47.719><c> gave</c><00:34:47.960><c> his</c><00:34:48.159><c> heart</c><00:34:48.320><c> over</c><00:34:48.579><c> to</c><00:34:48.739><c> God.</c>

00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:50.619
Sure<00:34:49.639><c> looked</c><00:34:49.920><c> like</c><00:34:50.179><c> he</c><00:34:50.440><c> did.</c>

00:34:50.900 --> 00:34:52.360
Everybody<00:34:51.239><c> thought</c><00:34:51.699><c> he</c><00:34:52.039><c> had.</c>

00:34:52.659 --> 00:34:54.480

00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:56.980
He<00:34:55.039><c> may</c><00:34:55.260><c> have</c><00:34:55.420><c> just</c><00:34:55.699><c> come</c><00:34:55.900><c> in</c><00:34:56.159><c> from</c><00:34:56.360><c> the</c><00:34:56.699><c> street</c>

00:35:01.019 --> 00:35:03.460
or<00:35:01.179><c> maybe</c><00:35:01.480><c> he'd</c><00:35:01.679><c> just</c><00:35:02.019><c> given</c><00:35:02.199><c> one</c><00:35:02.420><c> in</c><00:35:02.559><c> the</c><00:35:02.739><c> temple</c><00:35:03.039><c> court,</c>

00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:13.920
And<00:35:11.079><c> he</c><00:35:11.280><c> never</c><00:35:11.579><c> put</c><00:35:12.019><c> anything</c><00:35:12.639><c> on</c><00:35:13.000><c> God.</c>

00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:18.119
He<00:35:14.440><c> was</c><00:35:14.719><c> sufficient</c><00:35:15.179><c> for</c><00:35:15.460><c> himself,</c><00:35:16.800><c> but</c><00:35:17.039><c> the</c><00:35:17.199><c> widow</c><00:35:17.340><c> gave</c><00:35:17.619><c> everything.</c>

One<00:35:23.599><c> had</c><00:35:23.900><c> given</c><00:35:24.199><c> themselves</c><00:35:24.760><c> to</c><00:35:25.039><c> God,</c><00:35:26.079><c> and</c><00:35:26.239><c> one</c><00:35:26.440><c> hadn't</c><00:35:26.719><c> even</c><00:35:27.039><c> tried.</c>

00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:33.380
And<00:35:28.400><c> so</c><00:35:28.760><c> we</c><00:35:29.179><c> find</c><00:35:29.500><c> here</c><00:35:30.159><c> that</c><00:35:30.719><c> Josiah</c><00:35:31.519><c> gave</c><00:35:32.159><c> of</c><00:35:32.480><c> his</c><00:35:32.739><c> sustenance.</c>

00:35:39.300 --> 00:35:42.380
That's<00:35:39.659><c> how</c><00:35:39.900><c> they</c><00:35:40.079><c> were</c><00:35:40.199><c> going</c><00:35:40.340><c> to</c><00:35:40.519><c> eat</c><00:35:40.739><c> and</c><00:35:40.960><c> so</c><00:35:41.099><c> on</c><00:35:41.260><c> and</c><00:35:41.400><c> so</c><00:35:41.619><c> forth.</c>

But<00:35:42.539><c> to</c><00:35:42.760><c> initiate</c><00:35:43.079><c> this</c><00:35:43.360><c> new</c><00:35:43.539><c> beginning,</c>

00:35:49.900 --> 00:35:54.659
Now,<00:35:51.460><c> we</c><00:35:51.679><c> realize</c><00:35:52.139><c> that</c><00:35:52.880><c> the</c><00:35:53.099><c> Passover</c><00:35:53.500><c> that</c><00:35:53.880><c> we</c><00:35:54.199><c> celebrate</c>

00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:09.280
As<00:36:05.820><c> I</c><00:36:06.340><c> considered</c><00:36:06.820><c> all</c><00:36:07.199><c> of</c><00:36:07.360><c> the</c><00:36:07.500><c> things</c><00:36:07.699><c> that</c><00:36:08.059><c> happened</c><00:36:08.340><c> to</c><00:36:08.619><c> Josiah,</c>

00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:15.760
It<00:36:11.059><c> seems</c><00:36:11.280><c> like</c><00:36:11.539><c> his</c><00:36:11.960><c> life</c><00:36:12.480><c> is</c><00:36:13.280><c> a</c><00:36:13.599><c> pattern</c><00:36:14.159><c> for</c><00:36:15.099><c> everyone</c>

00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:33.119
And<00:36:30.860><c> as</c><00:36:31.000><c> we</c><00:36:31.179><c> got</c><00:36:31.380><c> older</c><00:36:31.719><c> and</c><00:36:31.900><c> those</c><00:36:32.079><c> things</c><00:36:32.320><c> meant</c><00:36:32.699><c> something</c>

to<00:36:33.360><c> us,</c>

00:36:33.940 --> 00:36:37.360
we<00:36:34.179><c> took</c><00:36:34.380><c> hold</c><00:36:34.659><c> of</c><00:36:34.880><c> those</c><00:36:35.199><c> words</c><00:36:35.539><c> and</c><00:36:35.840><c> they</c><00:36:36.139><c> moved</c><00:36:36.440><c> us.</c>

00:36:37.420 --> 00:36:41.179
Or<00:36:37.800><c> maybe</c><00:36:38.199><c> a</c><00:36:38.619><c> friend</c><00:36:38.840><c> of</c><00:36:39.079><c> ours</c><00:36:39.500><c> told</c><00:36:40.179><c> us</c><00:36:40.440><c> about</c><00:36:40.739><c> the</c><00:36:41.000><c> things</c>

00:36:41.179 --> 00:36:44.420

00:36:44.420 --> 00:36:47.079
And<00:36:44.840><c> we</c><00:36:45.320><c> thought,</c><00:36:46.159><c> it's</c><00:36:46.159><c> really</c><00:36:46.380><c> important</c><00:36:46.780><c> to</c><00:36:46.980><c> them.</c>

And<00:36:49.179><c> it</c><00:36:49.320><c> seems</c><00:36:49.559><c> that</c><00:36:49.940><c> I</c><00:36:50.059><c> can</c><00:36:50.280><c> only</c><00:36:50.519><c> be</c><00:36:50.719><c> their</c><00:36:51.019><c> friend</c>

00:36:51.300 --> 00:36:52.760

00:36:53.059 --> 00:36:56.059
They<00:36:53.340><c> seem</c><00:36:53.760><c> to</c><00:36:54.039><c> not</c><00:36:54.280><c> want</c><00:36:54.420><c> to</c><00:36:54.559><c> have</c><00:36:54.679><c> anything</c><00:36:54.980><c> to</c><00:36:55.219><c> do</c><00:36:55.320><c> with</c><00:36:55.599><c> me</c>

00:37:00.219 --> 00:37:04.900

00:37:04.900 --> 00:37:09.000
and<00:37:05.539><c> you</c><00:37:06.420><c> embraced</c><00:37:06.840><c> them</c><00:37:07.139><c> and</c><00:37:07.460><c> the</c><00:37:07.679><c> word</c><00:37:08.019><c> moved</c><00:37:08.460><c> you.</c>

00:37:09.460 --> 00:37:12.440
Or<00:37:10.000><c> maybe</c><00:37:10.500><c> we</c><00:37:10.760><c> fell</c><00:37:10.940><c> in</c><00:37:11.139><c> love</c><00:37:11.280><c> with</c><00:37:11.559><c> someone</c>

00:37:12.780 --> 00:37:17.300
and<00:37:13.340><c> they</c><00:37:13.900><c> were</c><00:37:14.159><c> very,</c><00:37:14.559><c> very</c><00:37:15.519><c> concerned</c><00:37:16.119><c> about</c><00:37:16.920><c> the</c><00:37:17.119><c> things</c>

00:37:17.300 --> 00:37:17.880
of<00:37:17.599><c> God.</c>

00:37:18.139 --> 00:37:21.119
We<00:37:18.480><c> thought</c><00:37:18.860><c> that</c><00:37:19.059><c> they</c><00:37:19.340><c> loved</c><00:37:19.559><c> us</c><00:37:19.800><c> very</c><00:37:20.139><c> deeply,</c>

00:37:21.619 --> 00:37:24.739
but<00:37:21.800><c> they</c><00:37:22.119><c> sure</c><00:37:22.400><c> had</c><00:37:22.619><c> another</c><00:37:22.920><c> love</c><00:37:23.420><c> besides</c><00:37:23.960><c> me.</c>

00:37:25.739 --> 00:37:28.340
And<00:37:25.940><c> we</c><00:37:26.360><c> learned</c><00:37:26.800><c> about</c><00:37:27.260><c> their</c><00:37:27.619><c> other</c><00:37:27.920><c> love</c>

00:37:28.340 --> 00:37:30.599
and<00:37:28.800><c> it</c><00:37:29.000><c> became</c><00:37:29.260><c> the</c><00:37:29.460><c> thing</c><00:37:29.579><c> that</c><00:37:29.780><c> we</c><00:37:29.960><c> love</c><00:37:30.139><c> the</c><00:37:30.360><c> most</c>

00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:33.340
and<00:37:30.820><c> why</c><00:37:31.119><c> we</c><00:37:31.440><c> really</c><00:37:32.099><c> love</c><00:37:32.460><c> them</c><00:37:32.659><c> in</c><00:37:32.920><c> the</c><00:37:33.039><c> end.</c>

00:37:33.539 --> 00:37:37.059
However<00:37:33.800><c> it</c><00:37:34.019><c> was</c><00:37:34.360><c> that</c><00:37:34.739><c> maybe</c><00:37:35.019><c> you</c><00:37:35.239><c> found</c><00:37:35.400><c> a</c><00:37:35.659><c> pamphlet</c><00:37:36.000><c> in</c><00:37:36.460><c> a</c>

00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:38.900
I<00:37:38.000><c> heard</c><00:37:38.179><c> that</c><00:37:38.440><c> one</c><00:37:38.679><c> time.</c>

00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:40.739
However<00:37:39.500><c> it</c><00:37:39.780><c> came</c><00:37:40.059><c> to</c><00:37:40.300><c> you.</c>

00:37:40.739 --> 00:37:42.500
Then<00:37:41.139><c> the</c><00:37:41.500><c> process</c><00:37:41.860><c> began.</c>

00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:44.820
But<00:37:43.099><c> I</c><00:37:43.300><c> noticed</c><00:37:43.519><c> with</c><00:37:43.739><c> the</c><00:37:43.880><c> life</c><00:37:44.039><c> of</c><00:37:44.280><c> Josiah</c>

00:41:00.500 --> 00:41:02.500
We<00:41:00.679><c> begin</c><00:41:01.000><c> to</c><00:41:01.340><c> change</c><00:41:01.599><c> our</c><00:41:01.920><c> life</c>

00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:20.840
When<00:41:16.440><c> we</c><00:41:16.760><c> think</c><00:41:16.960><c> about</c><00:41:17.300><c> the</c><00:41:17.539><c> Lord</c><00:41:17.760><c> Jesus</c><00:41:18.480><c> and</c><00:41:19.139><c> him</c><00:41:19.460><c> crucified</c>

00:41:35.139 --> 00:41:39.940
When<00:41:35.280><c> it</c><00:41:35.579><c> becomes</c><00:41:36.019><c> personal</c><00:41:37.119><c> and</c><00:41:38.260><c> it's</c><00:41:38.739><c> important</c><00:41:39.179><c> to</c><00:41:39.500><c> us</c>

00:41:42.860 --> 00:41:47.179
And<00:41:43.000><c> so</c><00:41:43.159><c> just</c><00:41:43.380><c> like</c><00:41:43.619><c> Josiah</c><00:41:44.360><c> what</c><00:41:45.619><c> he</c><00:41:45.920><c> didn't</c><00:41:46.139><c> know</c><00:41:46.400><c> about</c><00:41:46.739><c> God</c>

00:41:47.179 --> 00:41:50.440
all<00:41:47.880><c> of</c><00:41:48.099><c> a</c><00:41:48.099><c> sudden</c><00:41:48.440><c> was</c><00:41:49.059><c> filled</c><00:41:49.360><c> in.</c>

00:41:50.820 --> 00:41:54.480
He<00:41:51.179><c> wanted</c><00:41:51.420><c> to</c><00:41:51.639><c> find</c><00:41:51.940><c> out</c><00:41:52.179><c> about</c><00:41:52.460><c> it</c><00:41:53.039><c> and</c><00:41:53.340><c> right</c><00:41:53.579><c> away</c><00:41:53.940><c> he</c><00:41:54.119><c> said</c>

00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:57.980

00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:00.679
And<00:41:58.480><c> so</c><00:41:58.699><c> it</c><00:41:59.079><c> became</c><00:41:59.460><c> personal.</c>

00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:01.980
He<00:42:01.119><c> sought</c><00:42:01.460><c> God.</c>

00:42:02.300 --> 00:42:03.719
He<00:42:02.519><c> learned</c><00:42:02.880><c> about</c><00:42:03.300><c> God.</c>

00:42:03.739 --> 00:42:08.460
He<00:42:04.099><c> changed</c><00:42:04.559><c> his</c><00:42:04.960><c> life</c><00:42:05.539><c> and</c><00:42:06.119><c> then</c><00:42:06.820><c> when</c><00:42:07.440><c> he</c><00:42:08.000><c> understood</c>

00:42:08.460 --> 00:42:12.800
the<00:42:08.760><c> whole</c><00:42:09.019><c> counsel</c><00:42:09.420><c> of</c><00:42:09.679><c> God</c><00:42:10.199><c> it</c><00:42:10.800><c> was</c><00:42:10.980><c> a</c><00:42:11.079><c> very</c><00:42:11.360><c> personal</c><00:42:11.860><c> matter</c>

00:42:12.739 --> 00:42:14.380
and<00:42:13.099><c> he</c><00:42:13.380><c> humbled</c><00:42:13.639><c> himself.</c>

00:42:14.460 --> 00:42:16.320
He<00:42:15.019><c> did</c><00:42:15.219><c> something</c><00:42:15.559><c> about</c><00:42:15.960><c> it.</c>

00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:21.940
So<00:42:16.340><c> I</c><00:42:18.000><c> hope</c><00:42:18.420><c> that</c><00:42:19.420><c> the</c><00:42:19.760><c> case</c><00:42:20.099><c> is</c><00:42:20.480><c> that</c><00:42:20.619><c> we</c><00:42:20.780><c> don't</c><00:42:21.159><c> just</c><00:42:21.599><c> ever</c>

get<00:42:22.280><c> baptized</c>

00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:27.000
because<00:42:24.039><c> we</c><00:42:24.320><c> think</c><00:42:24.500><c> it's</c><00:42:24.980><c> the</c><00:42:25.159><c> thing</c><00:42:25.300><c> we</c><00:42:25.480><c> need</c><00:42:25.679><c> to</c><00:42:25.920><c> do.</c>

00:42:27.719 --> 00:42:33.920
We<00:42:27.800><c> get</c><00:42:28.280><c> baptized</c><00:42:29.099><c> because</c><00:42:30.679><c> somehow</c><00:42:31.679><c> all</c><00:42:33.039><c> that's</c><00:42:33.380><c> gone</c><00:42:33.679><c> on</c>

00:42:33.920 --> 00:42:37.860

00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:43.159
Jesus<00:42:38.519><c> was</c><00:42:38.840><c> crucified</c><00:42:39.599><c> in</c><00:42:40.420><c> part</c><00:42:40.920><c> because</c><00:42:41.940><c> of</c><00:42:42.219><c> me.</c>

00:42:43.460 --> 00:42:46.380
And<00:42:43.739><c> then</c><00:42:44.239><c> the</c><00:42:44.980><c> process</c><00:42:45.420><c> was</c><00:42:45.780><c> complete.</c>

00:42:46.820 --> 00:42:49.880
If<00:42:47.039><c> we</c><00:42:47.159><c> go</c><00:42:47.400><c> to</c><00:42:47.619><c> 2</c><00:42:47.840><c> Kings</c><00:42:48.119><c> 23</c><00:42:48.699><c> very</c><00:42:49.039><c> quickly.</c>
