00:11:08.070 --> 00:11:11.809
Perhaps<00:11:08.669><c> the</c><00:11:09.269><c> princes</c><00:11:09.710><c> didn't</c><00:11:10.110><c> think</c><00:11:10.330><c> Jehoiakim</c><00:11:10.929><c> was</c><00:11:11.330><c> worthy</c>

00:11:18.129 --> 00:11:24.370
So,<00:11:18.750><c> with</c><00:11:18.909><c> our</c><00:11:19.029><c> little</c><00:11:19.210><c> bit</c><00:11:19.370><c> of</c><00:11:19.629><c> mathematics,</c><00:11:21.610><c> he</c><00:11:21.929><c> had</c><00:11:22.350><c> two</c><00:11:22.929><c> years</c><00:11:23.250><c> longer</c><00:11:23.870><c> of</c>

00:11:44.110 --> 00:11:47.809
And<00:11:44.330><c> he</c><00:11:44.470><c> did</c><00:11:44.649><c> that,</c><00:11:44.950><c> which</c><00:11:45.110><c> was</c><00:11:45.370><c> evil</c><00:11:45.570><c> in</c><00:11:45.750><c> the</c><00:11:45.929><c> sight</c><00:11:46.049><c> of</c><00:11:46.309><c> Yahweh,</c><00:11:47.149><c> according</c><00:11:47.570><c> to</c>

00:11:52.809 --> 00:11:55.509
Now,<00:11:53.370><c> there's</c><00:11:53.649><c> a</c><00:11:53.830><c> saying</c><00:11:53.990><c> amongst</c><00:11:54.509><c> the</c><00:11:54.870><c> Jesuits,</c><00:11:55.309><c> isn't</c><00:11:55.470><c> there?</c>

Otherwise,<00:15:03.470><c> why</c><00:15:03.710><c> would</c><00:15:04.570><c> the</c><00:15:04.889><c> Lord</c><00:15:05.070><c> say</c><00:15:05.429><c> and</c><00:15:05.870><c> teach</c><00:15:06.090><c> them</c><00:15:06.210><c> to</c>

00:15:12.190 --> 00:15:15.289
Then<00:15:12.710><c> there</c><00:15:12.909><c> was</c><00:15:13.090><c> Jehoiachin,</c><00:15:13.909><c> who</c><00:15:13.950><c> was</c><00:15:14.149><c> Jehoiakim's</c><00:15:15.049><c> son.</c>

00:15:15.490 --> 00:15:20.029
And<00:15:15.690><c> we're</c><00:15:15.929><c> told</c><00:15:16.049><c> about</c><00:15:16.309><c> Jehoiachin</c><00:15:17.389><c> in</c><00:15:19.230><c> verse</c><00:15:19.490><c> 8</c><00:15:19.649><c> of</c><00:15:19.809><c> chapter</c>

00:15:21.389 --> 00:15:24.850
Jehoiachin<00:15:21.909><c> was</c><00:15:22.110><c> 18</c><00:15:22.549><c> years</c><00:15:22.850><c> old</c><00:15:23.070><c> when</c><00:15:23.210><c> he</c><00:15:23.429><c> began</c><00:15:23.690><c> to</c><00:15:24.029><c> reign.</c>

00:15:26.929 --> 00:15:30.070
So<00:15:27.070><c> if</c><00:15:27.210><c> you</c><00:15:27.210><c> take</c><00:15:27.389><c> the</c><00:15:27.610><c> 11</c><00:15:27.870><c> years</c><00:15:28.129><c> and</c><00:15:28.389><c> 60</c><00:15:28.590><c> months</c><00:15:28.850><c> off</c><00:15:29.169><c> that,</c>

00:15:39.470 --> 00:15:44.669
I<00:15:39.649><c> remember</c><00:15:40.049><c> my</c><00:15:40.330><c> grandfather,</c><00:15:42.649><c> he</c><00:15:42.649><c> died</c><00:15:42.850><c> when</c><00:15:42.970><c> I</c><00:15:43.129><c> was</c><00:15:43.269><c> about</c><00:15:43.529><c> 14.</c>

00:15:44.830 --> 00:15:47.190

00:15:47.210 --> 00:15:48.970

00:15:49.470 --> 00:15:51.129
Yeah,<00:15:49.990><c> I</c><00:15:50.289><c> do.</c>

00:15:52.649 --> 00:15:59.070
So<00:15:53.309><c> he</c><00:15:54.029><c> was</c><00:15:55.350><c> brought</c><00:15:55.669><c> up</c><00:15:55.850><c> Jehoiachin</c><00:15:56.490><c> in</c><00:15:57.450><c> the</c><00:15:57.830><c> full</c><00:15:58.250><c> flush</c><00:15:58.590><c> of</c>

00:16:00.590 --> 00:16:04.789
He<00:16:00.710><c> didn't</c><00:16:01.029><c> have</c><00:16:01.950><c> the</c><00:16:02.289><c> baggage</c><00:16:02.850><c> of</c><00:16:03.190><c> the</c><00:16:03.389><c> earlier</c><00:16:03.769><c> years</c><00:16:04.190><c> at</c><00:16:04.470><c> an</c>

00:16:07.090 --> 00:16:10.809
And<00:16:07.230><c> it's</c><00:16:07.429><c> interesting</c><00:16:07.889><c> that</c><00:16:08.190><c> Jehoiachin</c><00:16:09.470><c> isn't</c><00:16:10.169><c> actually</c>

00:16:14.090 --> 00:16:18.269
which<00:16:14.190><c> was</c><00:16:14.629><c> even</c><00:16:14.889><c> in</c><00:16:15.110><c> the</c><00:16:15.210><c> sight</c><00:16:15.350><c> of</c><00:16:15.629><c> Yahweh,</c><00:16:16.370><c> he</c><00:16:16.610><c> was</c><00:16:17.629><c> taken</c>

00:16:22.009 --> 00:16:25.470
And<00:16:22.230><c> ultimately,</c><00:16:22.789><c> he</c><00:16:22.970><c> was</c><00:16:23.210><c> taken</c><00:16:23.470><c> out</c><00:16:23.750><c> of</c><00:16:23.990><c> prison</c><00:16:24.330><c> and</c><00:16:24.809><c> gave</c><00:16:25.029><c> him</c><00:16:25.210><c> a</c>

00:16:28.610 --> 00:16:32.549
And<00:16:29.210><c> so</c><00:16:29.509><c> this</c><00:16:30.230><c> young</c><00:16:30.529><c> man</c><00:16:30.830><c> was</c><00:16:31.129><c> treated,</c><00:16:31.710><c> shall</c><00:16:31.990><c> we</c><00:16:32.129><c> say,</c><00:16:32.330><c> in</c><00:16:32.490><c> a</c>

00:24:07.450 --> 00:24:11.690

be<00:24:29.210><c> influenced.</c>

00:24:29.430 --> 00:24:33.430
Look<00:24:29.630><c> at</c><00:24:29.869><c> who</c><00:24:30.910><c> was</c><00:24:31.190><c> in</c><00:24:31.309><c> this</c><00:24:31.730><c> youth</c><00:24:31.950><c> group</c><00:24:32.130><c> that</c><00:24:32.410><c> Josiah</c><00:24:32.789><c> set</c><00:24:33.089><c> up.</c>

00:24:33.430 --> 00:24:37.670

00:24:48.809 --> 00:24:51.930
So<00:24:49.109><c> why</c><00:24:49.329><c> didn't</c><00:24:49.809><c> Daniel</c><00:24:50.289><c> follow</c><00:24:50.670><c> that</c><00:24:50.910><c> example?</c>

00:24:52.910 --> 00:24:55.029
Because<00:24:53.430><c> he</c><00:24:53.529><c> was</c><00:24:53.750><c> like</c><00:24:53.950><c> Josiah.</c>

00:25:02.710 --> 00:25:06.329

00:25:15.769 --> 00:25:17.670
That's<00:25:16.150><c> not</c><00:25:16.329><c> for</c><00:25:16.549><c> me.</c>

00:25:17.970 --> 00:25:21.329

00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:29.559
that's<00:29:26.740><c> the</c><00:29:26.940><c> quality</c><00:29:27.279><c> I'm</c><00:29:27.519><c> looking</c><00:29:27.859><c> for.</c>

00:29:31.420 --> 00:29:33.200
Loving<00:29:32.059><c> kindnesses.</c>

00:29:36.539 --> 00:29:40.440
This<00:29:36.759><c> man</c><00:29:37.359><c> was</c><00:29:37.960><c> like</c><00:29:38.220><c> the</c><00:29:38.400><c> Lord</c><00:29:38.579><c> Jesus</c><00:29:39.000><c> Christ.</c>

00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:46.200
He<00:29:42.539><c> judged</c><00:29:42.720><c> the</c><00:29:43.039><c> cause</c><00:29:43.339><c> of</c><00:29:43.559><c> the</c><00:29:43.799><c> poor</c><00:29:44.319><c> and</c><00:29:44.880><c> the</c><00:29:45.039><c> needy.</c>

00:29:46.660 --> 00:29:48.220
Then<00:29:46.759><c> it</c><00:29:46.859><c> was</c><00:29:47.119><c> well</c><00:29:47.420><c> worth</c><00:29:47.619><c> him.</c>

I<00:39:06.460><c> should</c><00:39:06.639><c> have</c><00:39:06.840><c> nice</c><00:39:07.019><c> windows.</c>

00:39:09.099 --> 00:39:12.940
Interesting<00:39:09.400><c> mention</c><00:39:09.780><c> in</c><00:39:09.980><c> verse</c><00:39:10.199><c> 14</c><00:39:10.659><c> of</c><00:39:11.340><c> the</c><00:39:11.559><c> windows,</c>

00:39:13.099 --> 00:39:13.880
cut<00:39:13.219><c> them</c><00:39:13.400><c> out</c><00:39:13.599><c> windows.</c>

00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:15.780
Doesn't<00:39:14.179><c> every</c><00:39:14.480><c> palace</c><00:39:14.780><c> have</c><00:39:15.000><c> windows?</c>

00:39:15.820 --> 00:39:17.519
What<00:39:16.159><c> was</c><00:39:16.699><c> special</c><00:39:17.059><c> about</c><00:39:17.280><c> this?</c>

00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:20.039
Well,<00:39:18.960><c> the</c><00:39:19.079><c> one</c><00:39:19.280><c> thing</c><00:39:19.380><c> that's</c><00:39:19.519><c> been</c><00:39:19.820><c> found,</c>

00:39:20.139 --> 00:39:22.019
now<00:39:20.280><c> whether</c><00:39:20.420><c> this</c><00:39:20.659><c> is</c><00:39:20.940><c> actually</c><00:39:21.420><c> the</c><00:39:21.840><c> palace,</c>

00:39:22.019 --> 00:39:23.460
I<00:39:22.019><c> think</c><00:39:22.219><c> it</c><00:39:22.340><c> probably</c><00:39:22.739><c> is.</c>

00:39:24.699 --> 00:39:25.800
It's<00:39:25.139><c> in</c><00:39:25.179><c> the</c><00:39:25.340><c> right</c><00:39:25.519><c> place.</c>

00:39:25.900 --> 00:39:28.219
It's<00:39:26.019><c> just</c><00:39:26.179><c> outside</c><00:39:26.780><c> Jerusalem,</c><00:39:27.579><c> near</c><00:39:27.699><c> Bethlehem.</c>

00:39:28.340 --> 00:39:30.539
This<00:39:28.360><c> is</c><00:39:28.599><c> the</c><00:39:28.699><c> kibbutzal</c><00:39:29.199><c> room</c><00:39:29.300><c> at</c><00:39:29.519><c> Rahel,</c>

00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:32.800
and<00:39:31.039><c> some</c><00:39:31.199><c> of</c><00:39:31.360><c> you</c><00:39:31.360><c> probably</c><00:39:31.559><c> have</c><00:39:31.760><c> walked</c><00:39:31.960><c> along</c><00:39:32.219><c> here.</c>

00:39:33.179 --> 00:39:34.179
There's<00:39:33.340><c> portraits</c><00:39:33.639><c> everywhere.</c>

00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:36.119
I've<00:39:34.400><c> got</c><00:39:34.480><c> one</c><00:39:34.599><c> at</c><00:39:34.719><c> home.</c>

00:39:39.340 --> 00:39:40.500
They're<00:39:39.659><c> everywhere.</c>

00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:44.059
Everywhere,<00:39:43.119><c> yeah.</c>

00:39:45.019 --> 00:39:46.579
And,<00:39:45.300><c> you</c><00:39:45.300><c> know,</c><00:39:45.340><c> you</c><00:39:45.440><c> can't</c><00:39:45.719><c> see</c><00:39:45.860><c> much</c><00:39:46.159><c> of</c><00:39:46.400><c> it.</c>

00:39:46.739 --> 00:39:48.760
It's<00:39:46.980><c> like</c><00:39:47.179><c> looking</c><00:39:47.440><c> through</c><00:39:47.679><c> the</c><00:39:47.900><c> trees</c><00:39:48.139><c> here,</c><00:39:48.500><c> isn't</c><00:39:48.639><c> it,</c>

00:39:48.760 --> 00:39:51.280
and<00:39:48.940><c> just</c><00:39:49.239><c> thinking</c><00:39:49.500><c> that</c><00:39:49.960><c> this</c><00:39:50.199><c> whole</c><00:39:50.480><c> campsite</c>

00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:53.280
used<00:39:51.719><c> to</c><00:39:51.900><c> be</c><00:39:52.079><c> a</c><00:39:52.260><c> palace</c>

00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:56.380
with<00:39:54.920><c> cedar</c><00:39:55.280><c> panels</c>

00:39:56.780 --> 00:39:58.800
and<00:39:57.380><c> special</c><00:39:57.719><c> windows.</c>

00:39:59.340 --> 00:40:01.260
No<00:39:59.440><c> wonder</c><00:39:59.940><c> you</c><00:40:00.280><c> had</c><00:40:00.400><c> to</c><00:40:00.559><c> exploit</c><00:40:00.860><c> the</c><00:40:01.119><c> poor.</c>

00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:02.599
These<00:40:01.900><c> special</c><00:40:02.260><c> windows,</c>

00:40:02.900 --> 00:40:04.460
they're<00:40:03.139><c> in</c><00:40:03.480><c> the</c><00:40:03.719><c> Israeli</c><00:40:04.019><c> Museum.</c>

00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:06.000
If<00:40:04.619><c> you</c><00:40:04.699><c> ever</c><00:40:04.900><c> get</c><00:40:05.239><c> to</c><00:40:05.699><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:07.460
have<00:40:06.099><c> a</c><00:40:06.139><c> look</c><00:40:06.340><c> at</c><00:40:06.519><c> the</c><00:40:07.039><c> windows,</c>

00:40:07.860 --> 00:40:09.699
because<00:40:08.059><c> they've</c><00:40:08.440><c> been</c><00:40:08.760><c> found.</c>

00:40:09.900 --> 00:40:10.440
That's<00:40:10.119><c> interesting.</c>

00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:12.519
It<00:40:10.840><c> should</c><00:40:10.960><c> be</c><00:40:11.119><c> mentioned</c><00:40:11.440><c> that</c><00:40:11.519><c> that's</c><00:40:11.900><c> what</c><00:40:11.900><c> was</c><00:40:12.099><c> found.</c>

00:40:12.820 --> 00:40:13.780
Wonderful.

00:40:14.699 --> 00:40:16.539
Do<00:40:14.860><c> you</c><00:40:14.860><c> know</c><00:40:15.079><c> what's</c><00:40:15.639><c> odd</c><00:40:15.739><c> about</c><00:40:15.920><c> these</c><00:40:16.159><c> windows?</c>

00:40:16.539 --> 00:40:19.440
They<00:40:17.559><c> are</c><00:40:17.920><c> a</c><00:40:17.940><c> copy</c><00:40:18.360><c> of</c><00:40:18.739><c> the</c><00:40:18.920><c> windows</c>

00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:22.639

00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:26.840
Why<00:40:25.199><c> did</c><00:40:25.519><c> Jeremiah</c><00:40:25.960><c> mention</c><00:40:26.420><c> windows?</c>

00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:29.559
Because<00:40:27.099><c> there</c><00:40:27.239><c> was</c><00:40:27.380><c> something</c><00:40:27.619><c> special</c><00:40:28.079><c> about</c><00:40:28.280><c> these</c><00:40:28.579><c> windows.</c>

00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:33.340
What's<00:40:31.460><c> special</c><00:40:31.659><c> about</c><00:40:31.780><c> Jezebel's</c><00:40:32.400><c> windows?</c>

00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:35.159
If<00:40:33.920><c> you</c><00:40:34.059><c> go</c><00:40:34.280><c> to</c><00:40:34.460><c> the</c><00:40:34.559><c> British</c><00:40:34.659><c> Museum,</c>

00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:37.300
you'll<00:40:35.579><c> see</c><00:40:35.760><c> a</c><00:40:35.980><c> woman</c><00:40:36.300><c> at</c><00:40:36.639><c> the</c><00:40:36.800><c> window,</c>

00:40:43.579 --> 00:40:45.699
How<00:40:43.820><c> did</c><00:40:44.199><c> Jezebel</c><00:40:44.719><c> end</c><00:40:45.099><c> her</c><00:40:45.340><c> life?</c>

00:40:45.699 --> 00:40:49.000
By<00:40:46.679><c> being</c><00:40:47.019><c> thrown</c><00:40:47.280><c> out</c><00:40:47.840><c> of</c><00:40:47.980><c> a</c><00:40:48.099><c> window.</c>

00:40:49.340 --> 00:40:52.400
This<00:40:49.460><c> window</c><00:40:49.739><c> was</c><00:40:49.980><c> part</c><00:40:50.300><c> of</c><00:40:50.679><c> the</c><00:40:51.260><c> religious</c><00:40:51.719><c> symbolism</c>

00:41:07.219 --> 00:41:07.940
And<00:41:07.380><c> what</c><00:41:07.500><c> influence</c>

00:41:11.280 --> 00:41:13.920
I'll<00:41:11.559><c> have</c><00:41:11.619><c> some</c><00:41:11.860><c> of</c><00:41:12.000><c> Jezebel's</c><00:41:12.559><c> windows,</c><00:41:12.900><c> please.</c>

00:41:14.539 --> 00:41:16.760
When<00:41:15.019><c> he's</c><00:41:15.219><c> looking</c><00:41:15.400><c> up</c><00:41:15.579><c> the</c><00:41:15.800><c> plans.</c>

00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:19.739
It's<00:41:18.260><c> clear</c><00:41:18.500><c> that</c><00:41:18.739><c> it</c><00:41:18.860><c> wasn't</c><00:41:19.019><c> just</c><00:41:19.300><c> a</c><00:41:19.559><c> palace.</c>

00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:21.519

00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:30.679
If<00:41:29.659><c> you</c><00:41:29.800><c> think</c><00:41:30.019><c> you're</c><00:41:30.340><c> a</c><00:41:30.460><c> king</c>

00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:32.820

00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:36.360
that's<00:41:35.000><c> all</c><00:41:35.119><c> that</c><00:41:35.340><c> remains.</c>

00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:38.699

00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:48.920
Is<00:41:47.400><c> that</c><00:41:47.480><c> what</c><00:41:47.599><c> makes</c><00:41:47.900><c> us</c>

So<00:45:01.320><c> what</c><00:45:01.500><c> had</c><00:45:01.719><c> gone</c><00:45:01.880><c> wrong?</c>

00:45:03.800 --> 00:45:05.900
What<00:45:03.960><c> had</c><00:45:04.199><c> gone</c><00:45:04.360><c> wrong</c><00:45:04.699><c> with</c>

00:45:08.260 --> 00:45:09.219
Jehoiakim?

00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:11.500
People<00:45:10.219><c> might</c><00:45:10.440><c> say,</c><00:45:10.800><c> well</c><00:45:10.800><c> his</c><00:45:10.960><c> father</c><00:45:11.260><c> was</c>

00:45:11.500 --> 00:45:13.179
way<00:45:11.679><c> too</c><00:45:11.960><c> much</c><00:45:12.159><c> on</c><00:45:12.320><c> the</c><00:45:12.440><c> ecclesial</c><00:45:12.760><c> business</c>

00:45:13.179 --> 00:45:15.760
and<00:45:13.340><c> he</c><00:45:13.460><c> wasn't</c><00:45:13.960><c> home</c><00:45:14.139><c> enough</c><00:45:14.579><c> to</c><00:45:15.260><c> instruct.</c>

00:45:16.260 --> 00:45:20.119
I<00:45:16.920><c> wouldn't</c><00:45:17.219><c> dare</c><00:45:17.460><c> make</c><00:45:17.719><c> such</c><00:45:17.980><c> a</c><00:45:18.119><c> criticism</c><00:45:18.619><c> of</c><00:45:19.139><c> Josiah.</c>

00:45:21.559 --> 00:45:23.019
I<00:45:21.840><c> think</c><00:45:22.039><c> Josiah</c><00:45:22.400><c> would</c><00:45:22.579><c> have</c><00:45:22.760><c> done</c>

00:45:23.019 --> 00:45:25.780
everything<00:45:23.639><c> required</c><00:45:24.340><c> of</c><00:45:24.559><c> him.</c>

00:45:26.460 --> 00:45:29.460
But<00:45:26.679><c> there</c><00:45:26.940><c> was</c><00:45:27.119><c> a</c><00:45:27.420><c> resistance</c><00:45:28.000><c> in</c><00:45:28.300><c> Jehoiakim.</c>

00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:32.539
That<00:45:30.579><c> was</c><00:45:30.900><c> Jehoiakim's</c><00:45:31.719><c> own.</c>

00:45:34.739 --> 00:45:36.300
And<00:45:34.920><c> Jeremiah</c>

00:45:36.739 --> 00:45:39.480
says<00:45:37.400><c> this</c><00:45:37.699><c> to</c><00:45:37.940><c> Jehoiakim,</c>

00:45:39.980 --> 00:45:41.380
verse<00:45:40.239><c> 21.</c>

00:45:41.880 --> 00:45:44.139
I<00:45:42.719><c> spake</c><00:45:43.260><c> unto</c><00:45:43.559><c> thee</c>

00:45:44.139 --> 00:45:46.179
in<00:45:44.679><c> thy</c><00:45:44.840><c> prosperity,</c>

00:45:47.599 --> 00:45:49.380
but<00:45:47.800><c> thou</c><00:45:48.099><c> saidst</c>

00:45:49.780 --> 00:45:52.739
I<00:45:49.880><c> will</c><00:45:50.539><c> not</c><00:45:51.400><c> hear.</c>

00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:55.280
I<00:45:54.000><c> will</c><00:45:54.300><c> not.</c>

00:45:56.280 --> 00:45:58.860
This<00:45:56.960><c> hath</c><00:45:57.440><c> been</c><00:45:57.820><c> thy</c><00:45:58.119><c> manner</c>

00:45:58.860 --> 00:46:01.300
from<00:45:59.719><c> thy</c><00:46:00.119><c> youth,</c>

00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:04.239
that<00:46:02.679><c> thou</c><00:46:02.960><c> obeyest</c><00:46:03.559><c> not</c>

00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:05.320
my<00:46:04.840><c> voice.</c>

00:46:05.800 --> 00:46:07.960
There<00:46:06.059><c> it</c><00:46:06.199><c> is,</c><00:46:06.780><c> there's</c><00:46:07.039><c> the</c><00:46:07.119><c> reason.</c>

00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:10.960
You're<00:46:09.519><c> not</c><00:46:09.599><c> listening</c><00:46:09.940><c> now.</c>

00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:14.820
Jehoiakim,<00:46:13.360><c> you've</c><00:46:13.639><c> never</c><00:46:13.900><c> listened.</c>

00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:18.519
You've<00:46:15.780><c> never</c><00:46:16.139><c> wanted</c><00:46:16.699><c> to</c><00:46:17.219><c> hear</c><00:46:17.380><c> the</c><00:46:17.639><c> word.</c>

00:46:20.340 --> 00:46:21.659
Did<00:46:20.500><c> I</c><00:46:20.699><c> start</c><00:46:20.920><c> too</c><00:46:21.139><c> late</c><00:46:21.280><c> with</c><00:46:21.480><c> you?</c>

00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:23.320
You're<00:46:21.920><c> already</c><00:46:22.239><c> twelve.</c>

00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:27.039
But<00:46:25.739><c> you</c><00:46:25.940><c> wouldn't</c><00:46:26.239><c> listen.</c>

00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:31.619
That<00:46:29.260><c> phrase,</c><00:46:30.139><c> thou</c><00:46:30.320><c> obeyest</c><00:46:30.960><c> not</c><00:46:31.119><c> my</c><00:46:31.420><c> voice,</c>

00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:34.320
is<00:46:31.940><c> a</c><00:46:32.079><c> quotation</c><00:46:32.559><c> from</c><00:46:32.880><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:46:33.480><c> chapter</c><00:46:33.860><c> five.</c>

00:46:34.380 --> 00:46:36.480
Well<00:46:34.579><c> it's</c><00:46:34.900><c> all</c><00:46:35.079><c> through</c><00:46:35.300><c> Deuteronomy,</c><00:46:36.019><c> isn't</c><00:46:36.039><c> it?</c>

00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:40.980
This<00:46:37.300><c> was</c><00:46:37.960><c> the</c><00:46:38.679><c> voice</c><00:46:39.019><c> of</c><00:46:39.280><c> God</c><00:46:39.519><c> from</c><00:46:39.800><c> Mount</c><00:46:40.099><c> Sinai.</c>

00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:43.039
Obey<00:46:42.400><c> the</c><00:46:42.619><c> voice.</c>

00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:44.159
Hear<00:46:43.679><c> the</c><00:46:43.860><c> voice.</c>

00:46:44.260 --> 00:46:46.199
Hear,<00:46:44.860><c> obey,</c><00:46:45.059><c> same</c><00:46:45.219><c> word.</c>

00:46:47.719 --> 00:46:49.440
Listen<00:46:48.099><c> to</c><00:46:48.320><c> the</c><00:46:48.500><c> voice.</c>

00:46:49.860 --> 00:46:50.739
You<00:46:50.059><c> never</c><00:46:50.380><c> would.</c>

00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:53.199
You<00:46:51.219><c> never</c><00:46:51.500><c> could</c><00:46:51.760><c> see</c><00:46:52.039><c> yourself,</c><00:46:52.400><c> Jehoiakim,</c>

00:46:53.340 --> 00:46:54.739
standing<00:46:53.719><c> at</c><00:46:53.940><c> the</c><00:46:54.079><c> foot</c><00:46:54.219><c> of</c><00:46:54.340><c> Mount</c><00:46:54.519><c> Sinai.</c>

00:46:54.820 --> 00:46:56.780
You<00:46:54.960><c> couldn't</c><00:46:55.320><c> feel</c><00:46:55.940><c> the</c><00:46:56.199><c> earth</c><00:46:56.380><c> shaking.</c>

00:46:56.880 --> 00:46:58.599
You<00:46:57.019><c> couldn't</c><00:46:57.340><c> see</c><00:46:57.579><c> the</c><00:46:57.880><c> smoking</c><00:46:58.199><c> mountain.</c>

00:46:58.840 --> 00:47:01.519
You<00:46:59.059><c> never</c><00:46:59.320><c> heard</c><00:46:59.619><c> the</c><00:46:59.920><c> thunder</c><00:47:00.300><c> speaking.</c>

00:47:03.300 --> 00:47:04.840
You<00:47:03.699><c> were</c><00:47:03.920><c> hardened</c><00:47:04.219><c> to</c><00:47:04.460><c> it.</c>

00:47:04.840 --> 00:47:07.340
You<00:47:05.199><c> were</c><00:47:05.460><c> deaf</c><00:47:05.679><c> to</c><00:47:05.900><c> it.</c>

00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:11.559
You<00:47:09.699><c> were</c><00:47:09.880><c> always</c><00:47:10.119><c> like</c><00:47:10.460><c> that.</c>

00:47:12.119 --> 00:47:13.639
We<00:47:12.360><c> could</c><00:47:12.599><c> tell.</c>

00:47:16.500 --> 00:47:18.760
And<00:47:16.679><c> you're</c><00:47:16.800><c> not</c><00:47:16.920><c> listening</c><00:47:17.219><c> now.</c>

00:47:20.380 --> 00:47:21.179
And<00:47:20.539><c> you're</c><00:47:20.679><c> going</c><00:47:20.760><c> to</c><00:47:20.960><c> die.</c>

00:47:21.300 --> 00:47:23.559
You're<00:47:21.420><c> going</c><00:47:21.480><c> to</c><00:47:21.619><c> be</c><00:47:21.900><c> buried</c><00:47:22.099><c> with</c><00:47:22.340><c> a</c><00:47:22.539><c> burial</c><00:47:22.760><c> of</c><00:47:23.000><c> an</c><00:47:23.219><c> ass,</c>

00:47:40.500 --> 00:47:42.900
His<00:47:40.800><c> mother</c><00:47:41.000><c> had</c><00:47:41.199><c> got</c><00:47:41.320><c> hold</c><00:47:41.480><c> of</c><00:47:41.659><c> him</c>

a<00:47:47.639><c> way</c><00:47:47.739><c> of</c><00:47:48.019><c> life</c><00:47:48.579><c> that</c><00:47:49.440><c> he</c><00:47:49.719><c> lusted</c><00:47:50.019><c> after.</c>

00:47:51.300 --> 00:47:55.420
And<00:47:51.440><c> when</c><00:47:51.539><c> he</c><00:47:51.679><c> was</c><00:47:51.940><c> king,</c><00:47:52.780><c> he</c><00:47:52.920><c> opened</c><00:47:53.059><c> the</c><00:47:53.260><c> windows</c><00:47:53.699><c> to</c><00:47:53.940><c> it.</c>

00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:01.820
For<00:47:58.960><c> him,</c><00:47:59.280><c> the</c><00:47:59.440><c> word</c><00:47:59.599><c> of</c><00:47:59.920><c> God</c><00:48:00.199><c> was</c><00:48:00.500><c> a</c><00:48:00.739><c> bonfire.</c>

00:48:03.699 --> 00:48:07.280
But<00:48:04.260><c> when</c><00:48:04.659><c> that</c><00:48:05.000><c> word</c><00:48:05.260><c> was</c><00:48:05.619><c> read</c><00:48:05.840><c> to</c><00:48:06.079><c> him,</c>

00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:10.719
let's<00:48:07.840><c> just</c><00:48:08.199><c> go</c><00:48:08.460><c> to</c><00:48:08.679><c> Jeremiah</c><00:48:09.079><c> chapter</c><00:48:09.460><c> 36,</c>

when<00:48:11.079><c> that</c><00:48:11.360><c> word</c><00:48:11.559><c> was</c><00:48:11.820><c> read</c><00:48:12.019><c> to</c><00:48:12.320><c> him,</c>

00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:18.320
he<00:48:15.559><c> took</c><00:48:15.699><c> a</c><00:48:16.019><c> penknife</c><00:48:16.460><c> and</c><00:48:16.679><c> he</c><00:48:16.880><c> cut</c><00:48:17.019><c> it</c><00:48:17.320><c> page</c><00:48:17.559><c> by</c><00:48:17.880><c> page</c>

00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:23.199
Jeremiah,<00:48:21.300><c> you</c><00:48:21.460><c> want</c><00:48:21.539><c> to</c><00:48:21.659><c> know</c><00:48:21.739><c> what</c><00:48:21.860><c> I</c><00:48:22.159><c> think</c><00:48:22.679><c> of</c><00:48:22.920><c> the</c><00:48:23.079><c> word</c>

of<00:48:23.440><c> God?</c>

00:48:24.380 --> 00:48:25.920
It's<00:48:24.900><c> rubbish.</c>

00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:27.099
It's<00:48:26.280><c> nothing.</c>

00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:29.019
There's<00:48:27.840><c> nothing</c><00:48:28.119><c> in</c><00:48:28.260><c> it</c><00:48:28.440><c> at</c><00:48:28.619><c> all.</c>

00:48:35.699 --> 00:48:38.079
It's<00:48:35.940><c> interesting</c><00:48:36.360><c> to</c><00:48:36.719><c> look</c><00:48:36.880><c> at</c><00:48:37.119><c> Jeremiah</c><00:48:37.440><c> 36</c>

00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:40.940
and<00:48:38.360><c> just</c><00:48:38.679><c> notice</c><00:48:39.059><c> the</c><00:48:39.519><c> key</c><00:48:39.719><c> words.</c>

00:48:41.920 --> 00:48:44.099
I'll<00:48:42.099><c> just</c><00:48:42.219><c> point</c><00:48:42.400><c> out</c><00:48:43.079><c> a</c><00:48:43.420><c> recurring</c><00:48:43.840><c> theme.</c>

Yahweh<00:48:47.059><c> tells</c><00:48:48.019><c> Jeremiah</c>

00:48:55.159 --> 00:48:58.760
And<00:48:55.579><c> then</c><00:48:56.159><c> Barak</c><00:48:56.480><c> is</c><00:48:56.760><c> to</c><00:48:57.039><c> read</c>

00:48:59.139 --> 00:49:02.079
Jeremiah's<00:48:59.739><c> prophecy</c><00:49:00.300><c> to</c><00:49:01.059><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:49:02.940 --> 00:49:05.679
And<00:49:03.340><c> what</c><00:49:03.559><c> recurs</c><00:49:03.980><c> is</c><00:49:04.239><c> this</c><00:49:04.980><c> concept,</c>

Now,<00:50:02.079><c> Josiah</c><00:50:02.260><c> had</c><00:50:02.500><c> his</c><00:50:02.920><c> discovery</c>

00:50:56.659 --> 00:50:58.280
