00:24:56.619 --> 00:24:58.900
He<00:24:56.819><c> wants</c><00:24:57.059><c> them</c><00:24:57.240><c> to</c><00:24:57.500><c> look</c><00:24:57.640><c> at</c><00:24:57.779><c> their</c><00:24:58.000><c> Bibles,</c>

00:24:58.960 --> 00:24:59.819
examine<00:24:59.279><c> the</c><00:24:59.519><c> passage.</c>

00:24:59.859 --> 00:25:02.299
It's<00:25:00.099><c> almost</c><00:25:00.319><c> like</c><00:25:00.539><c> the</c><00:25:00.779><c> parable</c><00:25:01.019><c> that</c><00:25:01.240><c> Nathan</c><00:25:01.480><c> told</c><00:25:01.759><c> to</c><00:25:02.039><c> David,</c>

00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:03.740
where<00:25:02.680><c> he</c><00:25:02.859><c> told</c><00:25:02.980><c> David</c><00:25:03.279><c> the</c><00:25:03.500><c> parable</c>

00:25:03.740 --> 00:25:05.339
so<00:25:03.900><c> they</c><00:25:04.039><c> could</c><00:25:04.200><c> at</c><00:25:04.299><c> least</c><00:25:04.500><c> look</c><00:25:04.680><c> at</c><00:25:04.819><c> the</c><00:25:05.039><c> story,</c>

00:25:05.579 --> 00:25:07.339
and<00:25:05.720><c> David</c><00:25:05.900><c> could</c><00:25:06.160><c> examine</c><00:25:06.519><c> the</c><00:25:06.740><c> situation</c>

00:25:07.339 --> 00:25:08.319
and<00:25:07.539><c> make</c><00:25:07.720><c> a</c><00:25:07.940><c> pronouncement,</c>

00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:09.579
and<00:25:08.519><c> look</c><00:25:08.700><c> at</c><00:25:08.859><c> it</c><00:25:08.940><c> for</c><00:25:09.099><c> its</c><00:25:09.319><c> merits,</c>

00:25:09.900 --> 00:25:11.900
and<00:25:10.019><c> then</c><00:25:10.119><c> he</c><00:25:10.240><c> realized,</c><00:25:10.720><c> you're</c><00:25:10.900><c> the</c><00:25:11.039><c> man!</c>

00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:14.180
Well,<00:25:12.619><c> Paul's</c><00:25:12.940><c> doing</c><00:25:13.079><c> the</c><00:25:13.279><c> same</c><00:25:13.420><c> thing</c><00:25:13.539><c> with</c><00:25:13.720><c> these</c><00:25:13.880><c> Hebrews.</c>

00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:16.240
He<00:25:14.500><c> hasn't</c><00:25:14.720><c> even</c><00:25:14.980><c> mentioned</c><00:25:15.279><c> the</c><00:25:15.380><c> name</c><00:25:15.559><c> of</c><00:25:15.740><c> Jesus</c><00:25:16.019><c> yet.</c>

00:25:16.339 --> 00:25:17.799
He'll<00:25:16.579><c> introduce</c><00:25:16.859><c> it</c><00:25:17.039><c> in</c><00:25:17.079><c> chapter</c><00:25:17.400><c> 2.</c>

00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:19.299
But<00:25:18.180><c> he</c><00:25:18.299><c> wants</c><00:25:18.579><c> them</c><00:25:18.740><c> to</c><00:25:18.960><c> realize</c>

00:25:19.299 --> 00:25:21.119
God<00:25:19.559><c> had</c><00:25:19.799><c> predicted</c><00:25:20.180><c> a</c><00:25:20.440><c> son</c><00:25:20.619><c> would</c><00:25:20.920><c> come.</c>

00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:23.619
Look<00:25:21.539><c> what</c><00:25:21.680><c> the</c><00:25:21.900><c> Bible</c><00:25:22.160><c> says</c><00:25:22.480><c> about</c><00:25:22.720><c> the</c><00:25:23.019><c> son</c><00:25:23.160><c> that's</c><00:25:23.460><c> coming.</c>

00:25:23.859 --> 00:25:25.839
Look<00:25:24.019><c> at</c><00:25:24.160><c> the</c><00:25:24.240><c> relationship</c><00:25:24.759><c> of</c><00:25:24.920><c> the</c><00:25:25.099><c> father</c><00:25:25.359><c> and</c><00:25:25.480><c> the</c><00:25:25.720><c> son</c>

00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:26.799

00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:31.779
and<00:25:27.279><c> then</c><00:25:27.539><c> watch</c><00:25:27.859><c> what</c><00:25:29.240><c> this</c><00:25:29.579><c> son</c><00:25:30.039><c> can</c><00:25:30.559><c> do</c><00:25:30.700><c> for</c><00:25:30.920><c> you.</c>

00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:33.279
And<00:25:32.339><c> the</c><00:25:32.440><c> son</c><00:25:32.680><c> in</c><00:25:32.819><c> verse</c><00:25:33.039><c> 8,</c>

00:25:35.660 --> 00:25:38.460
He<00:25:35.960><c> has</c><00:25:36.220><c> the</c><00:25:36.519><c> righteous</c><00:25:36.900><c> scepter,</c><00:25:37.460><c> the</c><00:25:37.619><c> scepter</c><00:25:37.880><c> of</c><00:25:38.000><c> his</c><00:25:38.200><c> kingdom.</c>

00:25:38.619 --> 00:25:40.859
He's<00:25:38.980><c> loved</c><00:25:39.259><c> righteousness</c><00:25:39.779><c> and</c><00:25:40.119><c> hated</c><00:25:40.359><c> iniquity.</c>

00:25:41.059 --> 00:25:42.539
He<00:25:41.140><c> hates</c><00:25:41.420><c> lawlessness.</c>

00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:45.019
This<00:25:42.819><c> is</c><00:25:43.140><c> the</c><00:25:43.559><c> characteristics</c><00:25:44.259><c> of</c><00:25:44.480><c> this</c><00:25:44.720><c> son.</c>

00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.160

00:25:48.579 --> 00:25:50.180
He's<00:25:48.839><c> not</c><00:25:49.059><c> just</c><00:25:49.299><c> going</c><00:25:49.420><c> to</c><00:25:49.539><c> be</c><00:25:49.700><c> a</c><00:25:49.900><c> priest.</c>

00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:40.859
In<00:27:38.900><c> the</c><00:27:39.119><c> Jewish</c><00:27:39.380><c> mind,</c><00:27:39.539><c> that</c><00:27:39.700><c> couldn't</c><00:27:39.960><c> happen.</c>

00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:43.700
A<00:27:42.339><c> father</c><00:27:42.519><c> could</c><00:27:42.859><c> never</c><00:27:43.119><c> say</c><00:27:43.259><c> of</c><00:27:43.400><c> a</c><00:27:43.579><c> son</c>

00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:48.660
But<00:27:47.039><c> in</c><00:27:47.220><c> Psalm</c><00:27:47.380><c> 110,</c><00:27:48.059><c> we</c><00:27:48.200><c> find</c><00:27:48.480><c> that</c>

that's<00:27:48.940><c> exactly</c><00:27:49.279><c> what</c><00:27:49.519><c> happens.</c>

00:27:50.700 --> 00:27:52.759
