00:01:42.700 --> 00:01:44.840
It<00:01:42.920><c> was</c><00:01:43.340><c> a</c><00:01:43.540><c> serious</c><00:01:43.840><c> business.</c>

00:01:45.980 --> 00:01:49.900

00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.640
So<00:01:50.579><c> although</c><00:01:51.040><c> initially</c><00:01:51.519><c> it</c><00:01:51.599><c> will</c><00:01:51.799><c> not</c><00:01:51.980><c> have</c><00:01:52.140><c> a</c><00:01:52.299><c> great</c><00:01:52.459><c> deal</c>

00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.939
She<00:02:32.659><c> had</c><00:02:32.819><c> in</c><00:02:32.960><c> hand</c><00:02:33.340><c> made</c><00:02:33.620><c> an</c><00:02:33.900><c> Egyptian</c><00:02:34.280><c> whose</c><00:02:34.599><c> name</c><00:02:34.800><c> was</c><00:02:35.060><c> Hagar.</c>

00:03:15.780 --> 00:03:19.060
We<00:03:15.840><c> might</c><00:03:16.539><c> guess,</c><00:03:17.000><c> if</c><00:03:17.120><c> you</c><00:03:17.319><c> like,</c><00:03:17.539><c> 14,</c><00:03:17.979><c> 15.</c>

00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:41.539
I'm<00:09:38.860><c> innocent,</c><00:09:39.419><c> I</c><00:09:39.460><c> knew</c><00:09:39.580><c> nothing</c><00:09:39.840><c> about</c><00:09:40.179><c> it.</c>

00:09:43.340 --> 00:09:45.720

and<00:10:10.879><c> the</c><00:10:11.019><c> Lord</c><00:10:11.179><c> had</c><00:10:11.460><c> protected</c><00:10:11.940><c> her</c><00:10:12.179><c> while</c><00:10:12.379><c> she</c><00:10:12.519><c> was</c><00:10:12.700><c> in</c><00:10:12.860><c> the</c><00:10:12.980><c> house</c>

00:10:16.740 --> 00:10:19.879
Although,<00:10:17.240><c> I</c><00:10:17.279><c> mean,</c><00:10:17.580><c> we're</c><00:10:18.080><c> adults,</c><00:10:18.460><c> let's</c><00:10:19.139><c> face</c><00:10:19.460><c> it,</c>

00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.440
he<00:10:20.340><c> wasn't</c><00:10:21.080><c> interested</c><00:10:21.580><c> in</c><00:10:21.940><c> holding</c><00:10:22.179><c> her</c><00:10:22.340><c> hand,</c>

00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:25.519
he<00:10:22.500><c> wanted</c><00:10:22.740><c> to</c><00:10:22.919><c> take</c><00:10:23.080><c> her</c><00:10:23.220><c> to</c><00:10:23.360><c> bed,</c><00:10:23.480><c> she</c><00:10:23.600><c> was</c><00:10:23.759><c> a</c><00:10:23.820><c> very</c><00:10:24.120><c> attractive</c><00:10:24.440><c> woman.</c>

00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:28.700
And<00:10:26.580><c> he</c><00:10:26.659><c> would</c><00:10:26.840><c> have</c><00:10:27.000><c> done,</c><00:10:27.419><c> had</c><00:10:27.620><c> not</c><00:10:27.779><c> the</c><00:10:27.899><c> Lord</c><00:10:28.120><c> intervened</c>

00:10:31.220 --> 00:10:33.000
He<00:10:31.460><c> says,</c><00:10:31.700><c> you</c><00:10:31.740><c> are</c><00:10:31.860><c> but</c><00:10:31.980><c> a</c><00:10:32.279><c> dead</c><00:10:32.460><c> man,</c>

00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.600
And<00:10:41.899><c> they</c><00:10:42.059><c> leave</c><00:10:42.379><c> and</c><00:10:42.580><c> go</c><00:10:42.820><c> away.</c>

00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.559
Now,<00:10:44.600><c> brethren</c><00:10:44.759><c> and</c><00:10:44.940><c> sisters,</c><00:10:45.200><c> what</c><00:10:45.399><c> we</c><00:10:45.679><c> don't</c><00:10:46.080><c> know</c>

00:10:52.940 --> 00:10:55.679
But<00:10:53.019><c> I</c><00:10:53.399><c> think</c><00:10:53.480><c> we'll</c><00:10:53.659><c> be</c><00:10:53.799><c> allowed</c><00:10:54.019><c> to</c><00:10:54.220><c> use</c><00:10:54.379><c> our</c><00:10:54.639><c> imagination</c><00:10:55.080><c> just</c><00:10:55.340><c> a</c><00:10:55.519><c> little.</c>

00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:57.259

And<00:16:03.759><c> men</c><00:16:03.980><c> servants,</c><00:16:04.700><c> and</c><00:16:04.879><c> maid</c><00:16:05.059><c> servants,</c><00:16:05.840><c> and</c><00:16:05.940><c> wealth</c><00:16:06.259><c> galore.</c>

00:16:07.419 --> 00:16:09.539
And<00:16:07.580><c> he</c><00:16:07.679><c> says,</c><00:16:07.940><c> well,</c><00:16:08.240><c> goodbye</c><00:16:08.440><c> Hagar,</c><00:16:09.039><c> he's</c><00:16:09.179><c> a</c><00:16:09.259><c> bottle</c><00:16:09.399><c> of</c>

00:16:09.539 --> 00:16:10.460
water<00:16:09.740><c> for</c><00:16:09.940><c> you.</c>

00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:12.320
That's<00:16:11.139><c> the</c><00:16:11.200><c> way</c><00:16:11.320><c> to</c><00:16:11.500><c> Egypt.</c>

00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.639
Strange,<00:16:14.320><c> isn't</c><00:16:14.320><c> it,</c><00:16:14.799><c> that,</c><00:16:14.899><c> I</c><00:16:15.019><c> mean,</c><00:16:15.240><c> there</c><00:16:15.519><c> must</c><00:16:15.720><c> be</c><00:16:15.860><c> an</c><00:16:16.039><c> answer</c><00:16:16.240><c> to</c><00:16:16.460><c> it.</c>

00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:19.080
Maybe<00:16:17.379><c> you</c><00:16:18.059><c> know</c><00:16:18.179><c> it</c><00:16:18.259><c> already.</c>

00:16:19.580 --> 00:16:23.039
But<00:16:19.980><c> it</c><00:16:20.379><c> seems</c><00:16:20.700><c> strange</c><00:16:21.179><c> that</c><00:16:21.440><c> Abraham</c><00:16:21.679><c> was</c><00:16:21.899><c> so</c><00:16:22.159><c> stingy</c>

00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:25.580
with<00:16:23.259><c> a</c><00:16:23.379><c> woman</c><00:16:23.580><c> whom</c><00:16:23.720><c> he'd</c><00:16:23.919><c> taken</c><00:16:24.100><c> as</c><00:16:24.299><c> his</c><00:16:24.460><c> wife,</c>

00:16:25.620 --> 00:16:27.940
whom<00:16:25.700><c> he</c><00:16:25.820><c> was</c><00:16:25.980><c> now</c><00:16:26.460><c> sending</c><00:16:27.080><c> out</c><00:16:27.299><c> of</c><00:16:27.399><c> his</c><00:16:27.620><c> camp,</c>

00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:30.679
with<00:16:28.639><c> a</c><00:16:28.840><c> son</c><00:16:28.940><c> whom</c><00:16:29.139><c> he</c><00:16:29.240><c> loved,</c><00:16:29.419><c> and</c><00:16:29.539><c> he</c><00:16:29.659><c> did</c><00:16:29.860><c> love</c><00:16:30.019><c> Ishmael.</c>

00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:32.700
The<00:16:31.039><c> word</c><00:16:31.240><c> tells</c><00:16:31.519><c> us</c><00:16:31.720><c> that</c><00:16:31.879><c> he</c><00:16:31.980><c> did.</c>

00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.320
Anyway,<00:16:33.940><c> she</c><00:16:34.139><c> goes,</c><00:16:34.559><c> and</c><00:16:34.720><c> she</c><00:16:34.840><c> goes</c><00:16:34.980><c> back</c><00:16:35.200><c> to</c><00:16:35.360><c> Egypt,</c>

00:16:36.340 --> 00:16:37.980
and<00:16:36.519><c> there</c><00:16:36.659><c> she</c><00:16:36.799><c> finds</c><00:16:37.080><c> a</c><00:16:37.279><c> wife</c><00:16:37.500><c> in</c><00:16:37.700><c> Egypt.</c>

00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:39.179
It's<00:16:38.360><c> come</c><00:16:38.519><c> to</c><00:16:38.620><c> full</c><00:16:38.759><c> circle.</c>

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.519
She<00:16:39.620><c> started</c><00:16:39.960><c> in</c><00:16:40.200><c> Egypt,</c><00:16:40.480><c> she</c><00:16:40.620><c> comes</c><00:16:40.799><c> out</c><00:16:41.039><c> of</c><00:16:41.159><c> Egypt,</c>

00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:43.500
she<00:16:42.220><c> marries</c><00:16:42.519><c> Abraham,</c><00:16:42.899><c> she</c><00:16:43.039><c> bears</c><00:16:43.200><c> his</c><00:16:43.419><c> son,</c>

00:16:43.500 --> 00:16:45.940
and<00:16:43.620><c> she's</c><00:16:43.740><c> back</c><00:16:43.940><c> in</c><00:16:44.120><c> Egypt,</c><00:16:44.580><c> and</c><00:16:44.659><c> she</c><00:16:44.840><c> finds</c><00:16:45.100><c> a</c><00:16:45.240><c> wife</c><00:16:45.500><c> in</c><00:16:45.659><c> Egypt</c>

00:16:45.940 --> 00:16:47.120
for<00:16:46.139><c> her</c><00:16:46.279><c> son</c><00:16:46.519><c> Ishmael.</c>

00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:48.360
He<00:16:47.399><c> marries</c><00:16:47.600><c> an</c><00:16:47.799><c> Egyptian</c><00:16:48.120><c> woman.</c>

00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:50.200
It's<00:16:48.820><c> slavery,</c><00:16:49.340><c> gone</c><00:16:49.460><c> back</c><00:16:49.679><c> to</c><00:16:49.860><c> slavery.</c>

00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.039
And<00:16:50.519><c> it's</c><00:16:50.679><c> very</c><00:16:50.960><c> important</c><00:16:51.399><c> that</c><00:16:51.539><c> we</c><00:16:51.720><c> understand</c><00:16:52.120><c> that.</c>

00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:55.100
Okay.

00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:58.879
Now<00:16:55.799><c> will</c><00:16:55.940><c> you</c><00:16:56.100><c> come</c><00:16:56.539><c> to</c><00:16:56.779><c> John,</c><00:16:57.039><c> chapter</c><00:16:57.279><c> 8,</c><00:16:57.799><c> please.</c>

00:17:01.899 --> 00:17:06.839
And<00:17:02.179><c> here</c><00:17:02.360><c> we</c><00:17:02.580><c> hear</c><00:17:02.779><c> the</c><00:17:03.039><c> discourse</c><00:17:03.639><c> which</c><00:17:05.599><c> the</c><00:17:05.759><c> Lord</c><00:17:05.920><c> Jesus</c><00:17:06.299><c> Christ</c>

00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:10.740
has<00:17:07.740><c> with</c><00:17:08.519><c> the</c><00:17:08.900><c> clever</c><00:17:09.140><c> people</c><00:17:09.819><c> of</c><00:17:10.279><c> his</c><00:17:10.500><c> day,</c>

00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:14.980
of<00:17:10.900><c> whom</c><00:17:11.460><c> Brother</c><00:17:12.000><c> John</c><00:17:12.220><c> has</c><00:17:12.420><c> been</c><00:17:12.660><c> talking</c><00:17:13.019><c> to</c><00:17:13.240><c> us.</c>

00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:22.200
John,<00:17:16.900><c> chapter</c><00:17:16.980><c> 8,</c><00:17:21.400><c> verse</c><00:17:21.539><c> 31,</c>

00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:25.960
Then<00:17:22.700><c> said</c><00:17:22.980><c> Jesus</c><00:17:23.400><c> to</c><00:17:23.599><c> those</c><00:17:23.920><c> Jews</c><00:17:24.160><c> which</c><00:17:24.500><c> believed</c><00:17:24.799><c> on</c><00:17:24.980><c> him,</c>

00:17:26.099 --> 00:17:30.220
If<00:17:26.200><c> ye</c><00:17:26.380><c> continue</c><00:17:26.880><c> in</c><00:17:27.039><c> my</c><00:17:27.339><c> word,</c><00:17:28.380><c> then</c><00:17:28.579><c> are</c><00:17:28.779><c> ye</c><00:17:28.900><c> my</c><00:17:29.079><c> disciples</c><00:17:29.599><c> indeed.</c>

00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.720
And<00:17:31.059><c> ye</c><00:17:31.279><c> shall</c><00:17:31.380><c> know</c><00:17:31.640><c> the</c><00:17:31.900><c> truth,</c><00:17:32.740><c> and</c><00:17:32.900><c> the</c><00:17:33.119><c> truth</c><00:17:33.299><c> shall</c><00:17:33.500><c> make</c>

00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:34.339
you<00:17:33.940><c> free.</c>

00:17:34.660 --> 00:17:35.859
Now<00:17:34.900><c> this</c><00:17:35.079><c> irritated</c><00:17:35.599><c> them.</c>

00:17:35.859 --> 00:17:38.660
They<00:17:36.019><c> said,</c><00:17:37.480><c> We</c><00:17:37.680><c> be</c><00:17:37.839><c> Abraham's</c><00:17:38.460><c> seed,</c>

00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:40.400
and<00:17:39.000><c> we're</c><00:17:39.160><c> never</c><00:17:39.380><c> in</c><00:17:39.559><c> bondage</c><00:17:39.859><c> to</c><00:17:40.059><c> any</c><00:17:40.240><c> man.</c>

00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:43.859
How<00:17:40.579><c> I</c><00:17:40.819><c> say</c><00:17:40.960><c> this</c><00:17:41.160><c> now,</c><00:17:42.140><c> ye</c><00:17:42.240><c> shall</c><00:17:42.400><c> be</c><00:17:42.599><c> made</c><00:17:42.799><c> free.</c>

00:17:44.380 --> 00:17:46.980
Verily,<00:17:44.700><c> verily,</c><00:17:45.019><c> I</c><00:17:45.200><c> say</c><00:17:45.359><c> unto</c><00:17:45.539><c> you,</c><00:17:45.779><c> said</c><00:17:45.880><c> Jesus,</c>

00:17:47.099 --> 00:17:49.339
Whosoever<00:17:47.539><c> committeth</c><00:17:47.900><c> sin</c><00:17:48.099><c> is</c><00:17:48.319><c> the</c><00:17:48.539><c> servant</c><00:17:48.819><c> of</c><00:17:49.059><c> sin,</c>

00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:51.559
and<00:17:49.759><c> the</c><00:17:49.960><c> servant</c><00:17:50.220><c> abideth</c><00:17:50.619><c> not</c><00:17:50.819><c> in</c><00:17:50.980><c> the</c><00:17:51.119><c> house</c><00:17:51.259><c> forever,</c>

00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:52.880
but<00:17:51.799><c> the</c><00:17:51.880><c> son</c><00:17:52.079><c> abideth</c><00:17:52.500><c> forever.</c>

00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:57.299
He's<00:17:53.460><c> talking</c><00:17:53.900><c> about</c><00:17:54.940><c> Ishmael</c><00:17:56.019><c> and</c><00:17:56.299><c> Isaac.</c>

00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:00.519
The<00:17:58.740><c> servant</c><00:17:59.160><c> didn't</c><00:17:59.559><c> abide</c><00:17:59.839><c> in</c><00:18:00.039><c> the</c><00:18:00.160><c> house.</c>

00:18:00.900 --> 00:18:03.039
The<00:18:01.220><c> servant</c><00:18:01.420><c> was</c><00:18:01.619><c> sent</c><00:18:01.880><c> out,</c>

00:18:03.140 --> 00:18:05.559
although<00:18:03.579><c> he</c><00:18:04.019><c> was</c><00:18:04.240><c> a</c><00:18:04.299><c> son</c><00:18:04.500><c> of</c><00:18:04.740><c> Abraham.</c>

00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:09.019
And<00:18:06.440><c> what</c><00:18:06.619><c> the</c><00:18:06.740><c> Lord</c><00:18:06.900><c> Jesus</c><00:18:07.299><c> Christ</c><00:18:07.579><c> is</c><00:18:07.759><c> saying</c><00:18:07.960><c> to</c><00:18:08.140><c> these</c><00:18:08.339><c> people</c><00:18:08.579><c> is</c><00:18:08.759><c> this,</c>

00:18:09.220 --> 00:18:11.359
I<00:18:09.440><c> know</c><00:18:09.700><c> you're</c><00:18:10.000><c> children</c><00:18:10.259><c> of</c><00:18:10.500><c> Abraham.</c>

00:18:11.500 --> 00:18:12.920
You<00:18:11.640><c> don't</c><00:18:11.799><c> need</c><00:18:11.940><c> to</c><00:18:12.220><c> tell</c><00:18:12.319><c> me</c><00:18:12.519><c> that.</c>

00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:15.819
I<00:18:13.440><c> know</c><00:18:13.579><c> you</c><00:18:13.740><c> can</c><00:18:14.039><c> trace</c><00:18:14.240><c> your</c><00:18:14.400><c> lineage</c><00:18:14.640><c> straight</c><00:18:15.000><c> back</c><00:18:15.259><c> to</c><00:18:15.400><c> him.</c>

00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:19.359
So<00:18:16.299><c> I</c><00:18:16.319><c> tell</c><00:18:16.440><c> you</c><00:18:16.599><c> this,</c><00:18:17.259><c> so</c><00:18:17.440><c> can</c><00:18:17.619><c> Ishmael.</c>

00:18:19.660 --> 00:18:20.839
Ishmael<00:18:20.099><c> could</c><00:18:20.279><c> as</c><00:18:20.519><c> well.</c>

00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:21.859

00:21:38.619 --> 00:21:39.400
This<00:21:38.839><c> is</c><00:21:38.960><c> why</c><00:21:39.099><c> they</c><00:21:39.259><c> said,</c>

Who's<00:21:42.839><c> your</c><00:21:42.980><c> father?</c>

00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:52.859
And<00:21:52.200><c> that's</c><00:21:52.380><c> why</c><00:21:52.519><c> they</c><00:21:52.720><c> said,</c>

They're<00:21:55.599><c> just</c><00:21:55.839><c> like</c><00:21:56.079><c> their</c><00:21:56.200><c> father.</c>

00:22:01.460 --> 00:22:04.180
And<00:22:01.640><c> then</c><00:22:01.799><c> Jesus</c><00:22:02.019><c> says</c><00:22:02.240><c> this</c><00:22:02.420><c> to</c><00:22:02.559><c> them.</c>

00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:02.480
Two<00:26:02.299><c> minutes.</c>

00:26:02.579 --> 00:26:03.680
Thank<00:26:02.740><c> you.</c>

00:26:06.180 --> 00:26:08.400
Of<00:26:06.740><c> course</c><00:26:06.960><c> they</c><00:26:07.140><c> wouldn't.</c>

00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:11.200
They<00:26:09.160><c> would</c><00:26:09.339><c> have</c><00:26:09.539><c> killed</c><00:26:09.759><c> him.</c>

00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.539
As<00:26:12.240><c> it</c><00:26:12.480><c> happened,</c><00:26:13.839><c> they</c><00:26:14.359><c> paid</c><00:26:14.539><c> the</c><00:26:14.700><c> price.</c>

00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:21.259
So<00:26:16.880><c> that</c><00:26:17.119><c> little</c><00:26:18.019><c> digression</c><00:26:19.440><c> took</c><00:26:19.900><c> up</c><00:26:20.019><c> a</c><00:26:20.119><c> little</c><00:26:20.259><c> more</c><00:26:20.480><c> time</c>

00:26:21.259 --> 00:26:23.579
than<00:26:21.740><c> I</c><00:26:22.500><c> really</c><00:26:22.819><c> planned.</c>

00:26:23.819 --> 00:26:25.500
Anyway,<00:26:24.220><c> I'm</c><00:26:24.299><c> glad</c><00:26:24.480><c> Sister</c><00:26:24.720><c> Carol</c><00:26:25.000><c> isn't</c><00:26:25.240><c> here.</c>

00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:28.980

00:26:28.980 --> 00:26:34.359
She<00:26:29.859><c> says</c><00:26:30.119><c> that</c><00:26:30.380><c> I'm</c><00:26:31.400><c> totally</c><00:26:32.319><c> unstructured</c><00:26:33.359><c> in</c><00:26:33.779><c> my</c><00:26:34.039><c> talks.</c>

00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:37.519

00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:47.839
which<00:26:46.160><c> are</c><00:26:46.339><c> nothing</c><00:26:46.519><c> to</c><00:26:46.720><c> do</c><00:26:46.759><c> with</c><00:26:46.920><c> the</c><00:26:47.039><c> subject.</c>

00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:50.039
Would<00:26:48.460><c> you</c><00:26:48.819><c> forgive</c><00:26:49.000><c> me,</c><00:26:49.279><c> please?</c>

00:26:50.420 --> 00:26:54.059
I'll<00:26:50.740><c> try</c><00:26:50.880><c> and</c><00:26:51.039><c> be</c><00:26:51.140><c> a</c><00:26:51.240><c> little</c><00:26:51.359><c> more</c><00:26:52.480><c> standard</c><00:26:53.160><c> in</c><00:26:53.880><c> future,</c>

00:26:54.059 --> 00:26:57.700
but<00:26:54.279><c> that</c><00:26:55.319><c> digression</c><00:26:55.980><c> took</c><00:26:56.859><c> a</c><00:26:57.000><c> little</c><00:26:57.160><c> longer</c><00:26:57.400><c> perhaps</c>

00:26:57.700 --> 00:27:00.079

00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:17.980
And<00:27:13.720><c> it's</c><00:27:14.039><c> the</c><00:27:14.220><c> second</c><00:27:14.440><c> book</c><00:27:14.619><c> of</c><00:27:14.779><c> Kings</c><00:27:14.940><c> We</c><00:27:15.140><c> Need,</c><00:27:16.660><c> Chapter</c><00:27:16.819><c> Two.</c>

00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:21.940
I<00:27:20.539><c> would</c><00:27:20.700><c> like</c><00:27:20.839><c> to</c><00:27:21.019><c> tell</c><00:27:21.119><c> you,</c><00:27:21.359><c> brethren</c><00:27:21.500><c> and</c><00:27:21.720><c> sisters,</c>

aren't<00:27:57.200><c> they?</c>

00:27:57.339 --> 00:28:00.180
We're<00:27:57.599><c> foolish</c><00:27:57.819><c> if</c><00:27:58.039><c> we</c><00:27:58.160><c> don't</c><00:27:58.299><c> get</c><00:27:58.480><c> our</c><00:27:58.660><c> heads</c><00:27:58.839><c> into</c><00:27:59.099><c> them.</c>

The<00:35:58.960><c> thinking</c><00:35:59.239><c> of</c><00:35:59.440><c> man</c><00:35:59.619><c> sounds</c><00:36:00.099><c> good,</c>

00:36:00.539 --> 00:36:02.440
but<00:36:00.739><c> when</c><00:36:00.880><c> it's</c><00:36:01.119><c> put</c><00:36:01.320><c> against</c><00:36:01.579><c> the</c><00:36:01.860><c> thinking</c><00:36:02.059><c> of</c><00:36:02.320><c> God,</c>

00:36:02.500 --> 00:36:03.840
which<00:36:02.619><c> is</c><00:36:03.000><c> contradictory,</c>

00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:05.980
we<00:36:04.460><c> must</c><00:36:04.639><c> put</c><00:36:04.900><c> down</c><00:36:05.139><c> the</c><00:36:05.360><c> thinking</c><00:36:05.659><c> of</c><00:36:05.860><c> men</c>

00:36:05.980 --> 00:36:07.420
and<00:36:06.199><c> embrace</c><00:36:06.460><c> the</c><00:36:06.719><c> thinking</c><00:36:06.940><c> of</c><00:36:07.139><c> God,</c>

00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:09.719
because<00:36:07.840><c> God</c><00:36:08.039><c> is</c><00:36:08.239><c> always</c><00:36:08.440><c> right</c><00:36:08.699><c> and</c><00:36:08.780><c> man</c><00:36:08.960><c> is</c><00:36:09.119><c> always</c><00:36:09.360><c> wrong,</c>

00:36:10.019 --> 00:36:16.880
and<00:36:10.139><c> we've</c><00:36:11.920><c> quoted</c><00:36:11.960><c> Jericho</c><00:36:13.960><c> to</c><00:36:15.420><c> evidence</c><00:36:15.780><c> that.</c>

00:36:18.019 --> 00:36:22.159
And<00:36:18.019><c> here</c><00:36:18.880><c> Elijah</c><00:36:19.739><c> says</c><00:36:20.019><c> something</c><00:36:20.360><c> which</c><00:36:20.579><c> is</c><00:36:20.780><c> very</c><00:36:21.099><c> strange.</c>

00:36:22.260 --> 00:36:25.159
He<00:36:22.340><c> says,</c><00:36:22.760><c> bring</c><00:36:22.860><c> me</c><00:36:23.139><c> a</c><00:36:23.300><c> new</c><00:36:23.579><c> cruise</c><00:36:23.840><c> and</c><00:36:24.079><c> put</c><00:36:24.340><c> salt</c><00:36:24.659><c> therein,</c>

00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:27.500
and<00:36:25.280><c> they</c><00:36:25.619><c> brought</c><00:36:25.840><c> it</c><00:36:26.199><c> to</c><00:36:26.500><c> him.</c>

00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:31.539
Now,<00:36:29.400><c> he's</c><00:36:29.880><c> going</c><00:36:30.099><c> to</c><00:36:30.280><c> tip</c><00:36:30.360><c> it</c><00:36:30.460><c> in</c><00:36:30.579><c> the</c><00:36:30.800><c> spring.</c>

00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:34.860
He<00:36:32.179><c> does</c><00:36:32.380><c> it</c><00:36:32.519><c> in</c><00:36:32.659><c> the</c><00:36:32.760><c> next</c><00:36:32.980><c> verse,</c><00:36:33.219><c> as</c><00:36:33.460><c> we</c><00:36:33.599><c> read</c><00:36:33.719><c> this</c><00:36:33.960><c> morning.</c>

00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:37.500
He<00:36:35.460><c> gets</c><00:36:35.719><c> this</c><00:36:35.920><c> new</c><00:36:36.219><c> cruise</c><00:36:36.400><c> of</c><00:36:36.659><c> salt,</c>

00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:38.719
and<00:36:37.900><c> he</c><00:36:37.980><c> goes</c><00:36:38.199><c> to</c><00:36:38.420><c> the</c><00:36:38.519><c> fountain.</c>

00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:40.599
I<00:36:38.840><c> mean,</c><00:36:39.420><c> the</c><00:36:39.440><c> water</c><00:36:39.699><c> was</c><00:36:39.960><c> abominable.</c>

00:36:41.099 --> 00:36:43.010
You<00:36:41.260><c> couldn't</c><00:36:41.559><c> drink</c><00:36:41.880><c> it.</c><00:36:42.039><c> It</c><00:36:42.260><c> stank.</c>

00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:44.920
It<00:36:43.539><c> was</c><00:36:43.820><c> polluted.</c>

00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:47.500
There's<00:36:45.400><c> nothing</c><00:36:45.639><c> like</c><00:36:46.159><c> stagnant</c><00:36:46.599><c> water,</c><00:36:46.980><c> is</c><00:36:47.239><c> there?</c>

00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:51.599
The<00:36:48.460><c> last</c><00:36:48.679><c> thing</c><00:36:48.840><c> you'd</c><00:36:49.099><c> do</c><00:36:49.199><c> is</c><00:36:49.500><c> cover</c><00:36:49.780><c> it</c><00:36:50.539><c> with</c><00:36:50.579><c> a</c><00:36:51.119><c> sort</c><00:36:51.480><c> of</c>

00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:52.360
green<00:36:51.900><c> algae,</c>

00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:55.320
and<00:36:53.059><c> you</c><00:36:53.400><c> wouldn't</c><00:36:53.619><c> want</c><00:36:53.760><c> to</c><00:36:54.139><c> have</c><00:36:54.559><c> a</c><00:36:54.679><c> drink</c><00:36:54.800><c> of</c><00:36:54.920><c> that,</c><00:36:55.219><c> would</c><00:36:55.320><c> you?</c>

00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:57.039
No,<00:36:55.519><c> I'm</c><00:36:55.639><c> sure</c><00:36:55.760><c> you</c><00:36:55.920><c> wouldn't.</c>

00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:00.280
And<00:36:57.780><c> Elijah</c><00:36:58.400><c> says,</c><00:36:58.739><c> just</c><00:36:58.840><c> give</c><00:36:58.980><c> me</c><00:36:59.119><c> the</c><00:36:59.519><c> cruise</c><00:36:59.760><c> of</c><00:37:00.079><c> salt,</c>

00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:04.559
and<00:37:00.719><c> he</c><00:37:00.980><c> poured</c><00:37:01.260><c> it</c><00:37:01.500><c> into</c><00:37:01.860><c> where</c><00:37:02.340><c> the</c><00:37:02.599><c> waters</c><00:37:02.880><c> were</c><00:37:03.960><c> emitting</c>

00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:05.820
from<00:37:04.800><c> the</c><00:37:05.019><c> rock.</c>

00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:09.320
Now,<00:37:07.079><c> from</c><00:37:07.260><c> man's</c><00:37:07.599><c> point</c><00:37:07.840><c> of</c><00:37:07.980><c> view,</c><00:37:08.099><c> that's</c><00:37:08.340><c> crazy.</c>

00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:12.320
That's<00:37:10.480><c> a</c><00:37:10.659><c> balmy</c><00:37:10.980><c> thing</c><00:37:11.219><c> to</c><00:37:11.460><c> do.</c>

00:37:12.820 --> 00:37:14.900
I<00:37:12.900><c> mean,</c><00:37:13.099><c> if</c><00:37:13.300><c> you</c><00:37:13.440><c> were</c><00:37:13.559><c> very</c><00:37:13.920><c> thirsty,</c>

00:37:15.179 --> 00:37:17.340
and<00:37:15.659><c> you</c><00:37:15.880><c> said,</c><00:37:16.119><c> I'm</c><00:37:16.480><c> dying</c><00:37:16.820><c> of</c><00:37:17.059><c> thirst,</c>

00:37:17.619 --> 00:37:20.239
and<00:37:17.699><c> you've</c><00:37:17.800><c> got</c><00:37:17.980><c> a</c><00:37:18.000><c> lovely</c><00:37:18.400><c> clear</c><00:37:18.760><c> glass</c><00:37:19.079><c> of</c><00:37:19.539><c> cold</c><00:37:19.900><c> water</c>

00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:23.219
with<00:37:20.579><c> ice</c><00:37:20.880><c> clinking</c><00:37:21.219><c> in</c><00:37:21.440><c> the</c><00:37:21.619><c> top,</c><00:37:21.980><c> oh,</c><00:37:22.260><c> and</c><00:37:22.400><c> you're</c><00:37:22.539><c> just</c><00:37:22.719><c> ready</c><00:37:22.880><c> for</c><00:37:23.039><c> that,</c>

00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:25.000
and<00:37:23.519><c> I</c><00:37:23.619><c> say,</c><00:37:23.800><c> just</c><00:37:23.880><c> before</c><00:37:24.119><c> you</c><00:37:24.219><c> have</c><00:37:24.360><c> it,</c><00:37:24.639><c> Sister</c><00:37:24.760><c> Sue,</c>

00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:27.219
I'll<00:37:25.440><c> just</c><00:37:25.559><c> put</c><00:37:25.679><c> a</c><00:37:25.780><c> couple</c><00:37:25.940><c> of</c><00:37:26.159><c> tablespoons</c><00:37:26.519><c> of</c><00:37:26.780><c> salt</c><00:37:26.960><c> in</c><00:37:27.099><c> this.</c>

00:37:27.500 --> 00:37:29.019
You'll<00:37:27.980><c> enjoy</c><00:37:28.219><c> that.</c>

00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:30.940
That's<00:37:29.960><c> madness.</c>

00:37:31.420 --> 00:37:35.519
Fancy<00:37:31.760><c> trying</c><00:37:32.159><c> to</c><00:37:32.480><c> cure</c><00:37:32.719><c> water</c><00:37:33.300><c> by</c><00:37:33.739><c> adding</c><00:37:34.000><c> a</c><00:37:34.260><c> pollutant.</c>

00:37:36.780 --> 00:37:39.039
But<00:37:36.920><c> we're</c><00:37:37.059><c> not</c><00:37:37.239><c> talking</c><00:37:37.579><c> about</c><00:37:37.840><c> man's</c><00:37:38.260><c> reasoning.</c>

00:37:39.380 --> 00:37:41.239
We're<00:37:39.559><c> talking</c><00:37:39.760><c> about</c><00:37:39.940><c> God's</c><00:37:40.360><c> reasoning.</c>

00:37:41.699 --> 00:37:43.800
And<00:37:41.840><c> God</c><00:37:42.039><c> says,</c><00:37:42.340><c> this</c><00:37:42.400><c> is</c><00:37:42.539><c> what</c><00:37:42.659><c> you</c><00:37:42.820><c> must</c><00:37:42.980><c> do.</c>

00:37:43.860 --> 00:37:45.199
Incidentally,<00:37:44.559><c> brethren</c><00:37:44.699><c> and</c><00:37:44.940><c> sisters,</c>

00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:47.340

00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:50.519
I<00:37:47.760><c> had</c><00:37:47.880><c> a</c><00:37:48.000><c> drink</c><00:37:48.119><c> from</c><00:37:48.320><c> there</c><00:37:48.500><c> not</c><00:37:48.780><c> very</c><00:37:49.519><c> long</c><00:37:49.739><c> ago.</c>

00:37:50.679 --> 00:37:52.599
The<00:37:51.079><c> very</c><00:37:51.380><c> same</c><00:37:51.599><c> water</c><00:37:51.780><c> is</c><00:37:51.940><c> still</c><00:37:52.139><c> pumping</c><00:37:52.380><c> out.</c>

00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:55.719
Men<00:37:53.179><c> have</c><00:37:53.880><c> added</c><00:37:54.139><c> an</c><00:37:54.380><c> electric</c><00:37:54.699><c> pump</c><00:37:54.940><c> to</c><00:37:55.099><c> get</c><00:37:55.199><c> it</c><00:37:55.340><c> out</c><00:37:55.440><c> a</c><00:37:55.539><c> bit</c>

00:37:55.719 --> 00:37:56.239
quicker<00:37:55.900><c> now.</c>

00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:58.400
But<00:37:56.679><c> it's</c><00:37:57.239><c> still</c><00:37:57.420><c> there</c><00:37:57.639><c> to</c><00:37:57.900><c> this</c><00:37:58.119><c> day.</c>

00:37:58.539 --> 00:38:01.440
I<00:37:58.539><c> mean,</c><00:37:59.019><c> the</c><00:37:59.159><c> writer</c><00:37:59.619><c> of</c><00:37:59.980><c> King</c><00:38:00.179><c> says</c><00:38:00.440><c> it's</c><00:38:00.659><c> there</c><00:38:00.800><c> to</c><00:38:00.960><c> this</c><00:38:01.179><c> day.</c>

00:38:01.659 --> 00:38:03.500
I<00:38:01.780><c> wonder</c><00:38:01.900><c> if</c><00:38:02.039><c> he</c><00:38:02.139><c> knew</c><00:38:02.199><c> it</c><00:38:02.360><c> would</c><00:38:02.500><c> still</c><00:38:02.639><c> be</c><00:38:02.820><c> there</c><00:38:03.019><c> 3</c><00:38:03.280><c>,000</c>

years<00:38:03.739><c> later.</c>

00:38:04.420 --> 00:38:08.840

00:38:25.139 --> 00:38:28.159
But<00:38:25.579><c> God</c><00:38:25.820><c> said,</c><00:38:26.219><c> do</c><00:38:26.219><c> it,</c><00:38:26.519><c> and</c><00:38:26.599><c> Elisha</c><00:38:26.900><c> did</c><00:38:27.079><c> it,</c><00:38:27.260><c> and</c><00:38:27.360><c> the</c><00:38:27.480><c> waters</c><00:38:27.719><c> were</c><00:38:27.980><c> cured.</c>

00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:31.099
We're<00:38:28.780><c> also</c><00:38:29.059><c> thinking</c><00:38:29.380><c> about</c><00:38:29.679><c> God</c><00:38:29.900><c> versus</c><00:38:30.280><c> Baal.</c>

00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:32.920
Now,<00:38:31.719><c> Baal</c><00:38:31.880><c> was</c><00:38:32.059><c> the</c><00:38:32.179><c> god</c><00:38:32.260><c> of</c><00:38:32.500><c> fruitfulness,</c>

This<00:38:37.059><c> ground</c><00:38:37.400><c> is</c><00:38:37.679><c> barren,</c><00:38:38.000><c> and</c><00:38:38.139><c> you're</c><00:38:38.380><c> a</c><00:38:38.460><c> god</c><00:38:38.579><c> of</c><00:38:38.820><c> fruitfulness.</c>

00:38:39.340 --> 00:38:40.960
Your<00:38:39.599><c> prophets</c><00:38:39.920><c> do</c><00:38:40.119><c> something</c><00:38:40.420><c> about</c><00:38:40.699><c> it.</c>

00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:49.659
And<00:38:44.619><c> so</c><00:38:45.420><c> Elisha</c><00:38:46.679><c> puts</c><00:38:46.920><c> the</c><00:38:47.119><c> salt</c><00:38:47.239><c> in</c><00:38:47.400><c> the</c><00:38:47.539><c> water,</c><00:38:48.300><c> and</c><00:38:48.619><c> it's</c><00:38:48.940><c> cured.</c>

00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:54.659
There's<00:38:50.960><c> a</c><00:38:51.099><c> bit</c><00:38:51.219><c> more</c><00:38:51.480><c> to</c><00:38:51.639><c> it</c><00:38:51.760><c> than</c><00:38:52.000><c> that,</c><00:38:52.380><c> I</c><00:38:53.179><c> suggest</c><00:38:53.559><c> to</c><00:38:53.840><c> you.</c>

Nevertheless,<00:39:52.800><c> we</c><00:39:53.099><c> must</c><00:39:53.360><c> hear</c><00:39:53.599><c> what</c><00:39:53.780><c> the</c><00:39:53.900><c> word</c><00:39:54.059><c> of</c><00:39:54.219><c> God</c><00:39:54.360><c> says.</c>

I<00:42:28.559><c> wonder</c><00:42:28.639><c> what</c><00:42:28.780><c> you</c><00:42:28.920><c> might</c><00:42:29.139><c> say.</c>

00:42:29.500 --> 00:42:31.320
Well,<00:42:30.280><c> I</c><00:42:30.500><c> think</c><00:42:30.639><c> you'd</c><00:42:30.840><c> say</c><00:42:30.960><c> love.</c>

00:44:32.500 --> 00:44:34.960
Next<00:44:32.739><c> generation</c><00:44:33.320><c> comes</c><00:44:33.579><c> along,</c><00:44:33.860><c> your</c><00:44:34.039><c> fathers</c><00:44:34.360><c> were</c><00:44:34.599><c> useless,</c>
