Good<00:00:28.160><c> morning.</c>

00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.939
Let's<00:00:33.880><c> just</c><00:00:34.140><c> begin</c><00:00:34.299><c> with</c><00:00:34.479><c> a</c><00:00:34.560><c> quick</c><00:00:34.679><c> recap</c><00:00:35.039><c> of</c><00:00:35.259><c> what</c><00:00:35.500><c> we</c><00:00:35.740><c> did,</c>

what<00:00:36.299><c> we</c><00:00:36.579><c> discussed</c><00:00:36.859><c> yesterday.</c>

00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:43.000
So<00:00:38.159><c> we</c><00:00:39.079><c> found,</c><00:00:39.380><c> didn't</c><00:00:39.579><c> we,</c><00:00:40.500><c> that</c><00:00:40.679><c> there</c><00:00:41.840><c> are</c><00:00:42.039><c> some</c><00:00:42.219><c> problems</c>

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.759
We<00:00:54.719><c> need</c><00:00:54.920><c> a</c><00:00:55.179><c> context</c><00:00:55.740><c> for</c><00:00:56.020><c> understanding</c><00:00:56.759><c> Ecclesiastes,</c>

00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:01.219
and<00:00:58.159><c> we</c><00:00:58.320><c> have</c><00:00:58.479><c> a</c><00:00:58.799><c> context</c><00:00:59.060><c> supplied</c><00:00:59.500><c> by</c><00:00:59.759><c> our</c><00:00:59.939><c> knowledge</c><00:01:00.140><c> of</c><00:01:00.340><c> the</c><00:01:00.460><c> rest</c><00:01:00.640><c> of</c><00:01:00.859><c> scripture</c>

00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:09.680
But<00:01:05.540><c> we</c><00:01:05.739><c> also</c><00:01:05.980><c> have</c><00:01:06.180><c> a</c><00:01:06.379><c> context</c><00:01:06.819><c> within</c><00:01:07.140><c> the</c><00:01:07.359><c> book</c><00:01:07.540><c> of</c><00:01:07.780><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:01:08.780><c> itself,</c>

00:03:21.419 --> 00:03:23.360
I<00:03:21.560><c> mean,</c><00:03:21.659><c> there's</c><00:03:21.879><c> several</c><00:03:22.240><c> different</c><00:03:22.719><c> metaphors</c><00:03:23.060><c> we</c><00:03:23.219><c> could</c>

00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:24.039
use,<00:03:23.620><c> I</c><00:03:23.740><c> suppose.</c>

00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:27.960
We<00:03:24.400><c> could</c><00:03:24.560><c> say</c><00:03:24.719><c> it</c><00:03:24.860><c> gives</c><00:03:25.039><c> us</c><00:03:25.319><c> a</c><00:03:25.479><c> lens</c><00:03:26.080><c> through</c><00:03:27.120><c> which</c><00:03:27.439><c> to</c><00:03:27.719><c> look</c>

00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.280
at<00:03:28.400><c> the</c><00:03:28.979><c> words</c><00:03:29.379><c> of</c><00:03:29.740><c> the</c><00:03:29.939><c> preacher.</c>

00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.060
So<00:03:30.840><c> we</c><00:03:30.960><c> might</c><00:03:31.120><c> be</c><00:03:31.340><c> able</c><00:03:31.439><c> to</c><00:03:31.659><c> interpret</c><00:03:32.000><c> the</c><00:03:32.180><c> words</c><00:03:32.300><c> of</c><00:03:32.460><c> the</c><00:03:32.580><c> preacher</c><00:03:32.800><c> in</c>

different<00:03:34.460><c> ways.</c>

00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:39.379
But<00:03:35.900><c> when</c><00:03:36.360><c> we</c><00:03:36.520><c> look</c><00:03:36.659><c> at</c><00:03:36.780><c> it</c><00:03:36.979><c> through</c><00:03:37.300><c> the</c><00:03:37.520><c> lens</c><00:03:38.039><c> of</c><00:03:38.699><c> the</c><00:03:38.979><c> frame,</c>

00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.219
then<00:03:40.060><c> that</c><00:03:40.400><c> takes</c><00:03:40.680><c> us</c><00:03:40.819><c> in</c><00:03:40.960><c> a</c><00:03:41.139><c> particular</c><00:03:41.520><c> direction</c><00:03:42.199><c> and</c><00:03:42.639><c> leads</c><00:03:42.939><c> us</c>

00:03:43.219 --> 00:03:45.240
to<00:03:43.460><c> look</c><00:03:43.740><c> for</c><00:03:44.199><c> certain</c><00:03:44.580><c> messages</c>

00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.800
when<00:03:45.840><c> we</c><00:03:46.159><c> read</c><00:03:46.740><c> the</c><00:03:47.120><c> Book</c><00:03:47.319><c> of</c><00:03:47.500><c> Ecclesiastes.</c>

00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:51.319
Or<00:03:49.719><c> we</c><00:03:49.780><c> could</c><00:03:49.939><c> use</c><00:03:50.120><c> the</c><00:03:50.240><c> idea</c><00:03:50.460><c> of</c><00:03:50.620><c> a</c><00:03:50.919><c> control.</c>

00:03:51.620 --> 00:03:56.060
Now,<00:03:51.780><c> I'm</c><00:03:51.840><c> not</c><00:03:53.120><c> a</c><00:03:53.360><c> scientist</c><00:03:53.860><c> at</c><00:03:54.120><c> all</c><00:03:54.240><c> by</c><00:03:54.439><c> any</c><00:03:54.680><c> stretch</c><00:03:54.840><c> of</c><00:03:54.979><c> the</c><00:03:55.080><c> imagination.</c>

00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.319
I<00:03:56.360><c> was</c><00:03:56.539><c> an</c><00:03:56.599><c> arts</c><00:03:56.800><c> and</c><00:03:56.979><c> languages</c><00:03:57.240><c> person</c><00:03:58.039><c> and</c><00:03:58.659><c> a</c><00:03:58.759><c> bit</c><00:03:58.879><c> of</c><00:03:59.060><c> maths.</c>

00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.120
But,<00:04:00.460><c> you</c><00:04:01.300><c> know,</c><00:04:01.620><c> for</c><00:04:01.900><c> those</c><00:04:02.080><c> people</c><00:04:02.259><c> who</c><00:04:02.400><c> do</c><00:04:02.620><c> experiments,</c>

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:07.159
there<00:04:03.500><c> is</c><00:04:03.719><c> this</c><00:04:03.919><c> idea</c><00:04:04.280><c> of</c><00:04:05.039><c> having</c><00:04:05.259><c> a</c><00:04:05.680><c> control</c><00:04:05.879><c> in</c><00:04:06.099><c> the</c><00:04:06.280><c> experiment,</c><00:04:06.780><c> isn't</c><00:04:06.900><c> there?</c>

00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:12.960
And<00:04:07.939><c> in</c><00:04:08.120><c> a</c><00:04:08.259><c> way,</c><00:04:08.780><c> the</c><00:04:09.080><c> frame,</c><00:04:09.680><c> the</c><00:04:09.819><c> narrator's</c><00:04:10.400><c> voice,</c><00:04:10.960><c> provides</c><00:04:11.319><c> a</c><00:04:11.599><c> control</c><00:04:12.159><c> for</c><00:04:12.539><c> us</c>

00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:17.199
in<00:04:13.439><c> how</c><00:04:13.800><c> we</c><00:04:14.139><c> read</c><00:04:14.419><c> the</c><00:04:14.699><c> words</c><00:04:14.879><c> of</c><00:04:15.099><c> the</c><00:04:15.219><c> preacher</c><00:04:15.580><c> that</c><00:04:16.019><c> come</c><00:04:16.160><c> in</c><00:04:16.439><c> between.</c>

00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.959
And<00:04:19.500><c> we</c><00:04:20.060><c> looked</c><00:04:20.240><c> at</c><00:04:20.399><c> the</c><00:04:20.639><c> opening</c><00:04:20.959><c> words,</c><00:04:21.319><c> didn't</c><00:04:21.560><c> we?</c>

00:04:23.939 --> 00:04:27.480
And<00:04:24.399><c> what</c><00:04:24.560><c> we</c><00:04:24.720><c> need</c><00:04:24.819><c> to</c><00:04:25.000><c> do</c><00:04:25.139><c> now</c><00:04:25.519><c> is</c><00:04:25.720><c> look</c><00:04:26.040><c> at</c><00:04:26.399><c> the</c><00:04:26.860><c> concluding</c><00:04:27.240><c> frame,</c>

00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.800
because<00:04:27.639><c> it's</c><00:04:27.920><c> that</c><00:04:28.060><c> that's</c><00:04:28.300><c> really</c><00:04:28.579><c> the</c><00:04:28.860><c> key</c><00:04:29.199><c> in</c><00:04:30.279><c> terms</c><00:04:30.540><c> of</c>

00:04:56.699 --> 00:04:59.660
So,<00:04:57.180><c> there's</c><00:04:57.660><c> the</c><00:04:57.939><c> concluding</c><00:04:58.300><c> frame</c><00:04:58.680><c> in</c><00:04:58.879><c> 12</c><00:04:59.180><c> verse</c><00:04:59.399><c> 8,</c>

00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:01.300
vanity<00:05:00.060><c> of</c><00:05:00.259><c> vanities</c><00:05:00.639><c> set</c><00:05:00.879><c> the</c><00:05:01.060><c> preacher.</c>

00:05:01.379 --> 00:05:02.040
All<00:05:01.540><c> is</c><00:05:01.720><c> vanity.</c>

00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.139
And<00:05:02.220><c> now</c><00:05:02.620><c> the</c><00:05:03.680><c> narrator</c><00:05:04.040><c> says</c><00:05:04.339><c> this</c><00:05:04.660><c> to</c><00:05:04.860><c> us.</c>

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:10.819
And<00:05:05.360><c> moreover,</c><00:05:08.439><c> because</c><00:05:08.699><c> the</c><00:05:09.040><c> preacher</c><00:05:09.339><c> was</c><00:05:09.740><c> wise,</c>

00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.779
he<00:05:11.399><c> still</c><00:05:11.879><c> taught</c><00:05:12.160><c> the</c><00:05:12.399><c> people</c><00:05:12.759><c> knowledge.</c>

00:05:15.420 --> 00:05:18.800
So,<00:05:17.040><c> there's</c><00:05:17.300><c> some</c><00:05:17.579><c> interesting</c><00:05:17.879><c> things</c><00:05:18.139><c> going</c><00:05:18.379><c> on</c><00:05:18.560><c> here.</c>

00:05:18.899 --> 00:05:20.720
So,<00:05:19.079><c> the</c><00:05:19.180><c> preacher</c><00:05:19.399><c> was</c><00:05:19.699><c> wise.</c>

00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:27.800
So,<00:05:21.939><c> that's</c><00:05:22.379><c> telling</c><00:05:22.540><c> us</c><00:05:23.000><c> that,</c><00:05:25.740><c> you</c><00:05:26.480><c> know,</c><00:05:27.120><c> what</c><00:05:27.399><c> he</c><00:05:27.620><c> said,</c>

00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:29.720
the<00:05:28.000><c> words</c><00:05:28.079><c> of</c><00:05:28.220><c> the</c><00:05:28.300><c> preacher</c><00:05:28.459><c> were</c><00:05:28.660><c> not</c><00:05:28.839><c> stupid.</c>

00:05:29.740 --> 00:05:31.699
You<00:05:30.139><c> know,</c><00:05:30.339><c> we're</c><00:05:30.540><c> not</c><00:05:30.660><c> meant</c><00:05:30.839><c> to</c><00:05:31.060><c> read</c><00:05:31.199><c> the</c><00:05:31.339><c> words</c><00:05:31.459><c> of</c><00:05:31.600><c> the</c>

00:05:31.699 --> 00:05:32.160
preacher<00:05:31.920><c> and</c><00:05:32.079><c> say,</c>

00:05:32.300 --> 00:05:34.959
oh,<00:05:32.360><c> well,</c><00:05:32.600><c> you</c><00:05:33.120><c> know,</c><00:05:33.560><c> this</c><00:05:33.779><c> is</c><00:05:34.000><c> like</c><00:05:34.139><c> reading</c><00:05:34.379><c> the</c><00:05:34.579><c> words</c><00:05:34.699><c> of</c>

00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:36.040
Job's<00:05:35.279><c> friends.</c>

00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:37.319
Just<00:05:36.560><c> forget</c><00:05:36.939><c> it</c><00:05:37.180><c> all.</c>

00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.379
You<00:05:37.439><c> know,</c><00:05:37.620><c> that's</c><00:05:37.920><c> actually</c><00:05:38.199><c> what</c><00:05:38.339><c> you're</c><00:05:38.519><c> not</c><00:05:38.720><c> supposed</c><00:05:38.980><c> to</c><00:05:39.180><c> believe.</c>

00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:41.360
And<00:05:39.720><c> some</c><00:05:39.839><c> people</c><00:05:40.000><c> have</c><00:05:40.139><c> actually</c><00:05:40.319><c> done</c><00:05:40.500><c> that</c><00:05:40.699><c> with</c><00:05:40.899><c> Ecclesiastes.</c>

00:05:41.459 --> 00:05:45.779
Some<00:05:41.639><c> people</c><00:05:41.860><c> have</c><00:05:42.240><c> seen</c><00:05:42.540><c> the</c><00:05:42.759><c> words</c><00:05:42.879><c> of</c><00:05:43.060><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:05:43.920><c> as</c><00:05:44.540><c> being</c><00:05:44.939><c> the</c><00:05:45.399><c> words</c><00:05:45.579><c> of</c>

00:05:45.779 --> 00:05:46.699
a<00:05:45.980><c> skeptic</c>

00:05:46.699 --> 00:05:49.939
who<00:05:47.040><c> sort</c><00:05:47.259><c> of</c><00:05:47.439><c> took</c><00:05:47.560><c> the</c><00:05:47.819><c> opposite</c><00:05:48.139><c> position</c><00:05:48.579><c> to</c><00:05:48.899><c> Proverbs.</c>

00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:55.720
And<00:05:49.959><c> then</c><00:05:50.519><c> they</c><00:05:51.100><c> sort</c><00:05:51.300><c> of</c><00:05:51.560><c> created</c><00:05:51.879><c> this</c><00:05:53.180><c> idea</c><00:05:53.680><c> that,</c><00:05:54.259><c> you</c><00:05:54.379><c> know,</c>

00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.779
these<00:05:56.879><c> words</c><00:05:57.079><c> of</c><00:05:57.220><c> the</c><00:05:57.379><c> preacher</c><00:05:57.560><c> were</c><00:05:57.860><c> unearthed</c><00:05:58.439><c> somewhere.</c>

00:05:58.779 --> 00:06:00.879
And<00:05:59.019><c> so,</c><00:05:59.279><c> well,</c><00:05:59.639><c> maybe</c><00:05:59.759><c> we</c><00:05:59.899><c> should</c><00:05:59.980><c> put</c><00:06:00.160><c> these</c><00:06:00.379><c> into</c><00:06:00.579><c> Scripture,</c>

00:06:00.939 --> 00:06:03.980
but<00:06:01.060><c> we</c><00:06:01.180><c> need</c><00:06:01.379><c> to</c><00:06:01.540><c> put</c><00:06:01.639><c> this</c><00:06:02.639><c> appendix</c><00:06:03.160><c> on</c><00:06:03.319><c> that</c><00:06:03.579><c> contradicts</c>

00:06:03.980 --> 00:06:04.199
it<00:06:04.079><c> all</c>

00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:05.740
and<00:06:04.339><c> says</c><00:06:04.500><c> that</c><00:06:04.639><c> it's</c><00:06:04.800><c> not</c><00:06:05.000><c> true.</c>

00:06:05.860 --> 00:06:07.480
But<00:06:06.100><c> that</c><00:06:06.540><c> just</c><00:06:06.699><c> doesn't</c><00:06:06.939><c> work</c><00:06:07.160><c> at</c><00:06:07.379><c> all.</c>

00:06:07.660 --> 00:06:09.000
That's<00:06:07.740><c> just</c><00:06:07.959><c> completely...</c>

00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.959
I<00:06:09.259><c> just</c><00:06:09.439><c> don't</c><00:06:09.560><c> see</c><00:06:09.680><c> how</c><00:06:09.819><c> people</c><00:06:10.060><c> can</c><00:06:10.639><c> read</c><00:06:10.779><c> it</c><00:06:10.879><c> that</c><00:06:11.120><c> way</c><00:06:11.519><c> at</c><00:06:11.699><c> all.</c>

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.560
The<00:06:12.759><c> narrator</c><00:06:13.139><c> here</c><00:06:13.500><c> is</c><00:06:13.699><c> telling</c><00:06:13.899><c> us</c><00:06:14.139><c> very</c><00:06:14.500><c> clearly</c><00:06:14.879><c> that</c><00:06:15.339><c> the</c>

00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.060
preacher<00:06:15.779><c> was</c><00:06:16.079><c> wise.</c>

00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:19.879
And<00:06:17.759><c> the</c><00:06:17.920><c> preacher,</c><00:06:18.160><c> of</c><00:06:18.319><c> course,</c><00:06:18.680><c> studied</c><00:06:18.899><c> wisdom,</c><00:06:19.439><c> didn't</c><00:06:19.660><c> he?</c>

00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.060
And<00:06:20.399><c> he</c><00:06:20.620><c> saw</c><00:06:20.839><c> the</c><00:06:21.160><c> advantages</c><00:06:21.500><c> of</c><00:06:21.759><c> wisdom,</c>

00:06:22.060 --> 00:06:25.360
and<00:06:22.220><c> he</c><00:06:22.319><c> also</c><00:06:22.560><c> saw</c><00:06:22.759><c> the</c><00:06:23.019><c> limitations</c><00:06:23.600><c> of</c><00:06:24.420><c> wisdom.</c>

00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.980
But<00:06:26.060><c> even</c><00:06:26.660><c> after</c><00:06:27.819><c> looking</c><00:06:28.160><c> at</c><00:06:28.360><c> the</c><00:06:28.540><c> limitations</c><00:06:29.120><c> of</c><00:06:29.560><c> wisdom,</c>

00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.079
he<00:06:30.600><c> still</c><00:06:30.819><c> persisted</c><00:06:31.459><c> in</c><00:06:31.639><c> being</c><00:06:31.939><c> wise</c><00:06:32.319><c> and</c><00:06:32.579><c> in</c><00:06:32.680><c> valuing</c><00:06:33.060><c> wisdom.</c>

00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.600
So<00:06:35.920><c> even</c><00:06:36.600><c> after</c><00:06:36.899><c> all</c><00:06:37.160><c> the</c><00:06:37.300><c> skeptical</c><00:06:37.660><c> things</c><00:06:38.079><c> that</c><00:06:38.259><c> are</c><00:06:38.439><c> said</c>

00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:39.959
about<00:06:38.879><c> wisdom</c><00:06:39.259><c> in</c><00:06:39.480><c> the</c><00:06:39.639><c> book,</c>

00:06:40.420 --> 00:06:44.480
the<00:06:40.560><c> bottom</c><00:06:40.879><c> line</c><00:06:41.339><c> is</c><00:06:41.860><c> that</c><00:06:42.699><c> the</c><00:06:43.060><c> preacher</c><00:06:43.420><c> still</c><00:06:44.079><c> believed</c>

00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:45.639
in<00:06:44.740><c> wisdom.</c>

00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.699
He<00:06:46.620><c> saw</c><00:06:46.819><c> its</c><00:06:47.040><c> limits,</c><00:06:47.519><c> but</c><00:06:48.220><c> he</c><00:06:48.480><c> still</c><00:06:48.740><c> believed</c><00:06:49.079><c> in</c><00:06:49.279><c> it.</c>

00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:52.939
Because<00:06:50.480><c> the</c><00:06:50.740><c> preacher</c><00:06:50.939><c> was</c><00:06:51.259><c> wise,</c><00:06:51.699><c> he</c><00:06:51.980><c> still</c><00:06:52.420><c> taught</c><00:06:52.680><c> the</c>

00:06:52.939 --> 00:06:53.800
people<00:06:53.259><c> knowledge.</c>

00:06:53.800 --> 00:07:00.259
So<00:06:54.680><c> some</c><00:06:56.120><c> people</c><00:06:56.480><c> regard</c><00:06:57.540><c> the</c><00:06:58.379><c> preacher</c><00:06:58.660><c> as</c><00:06:58.879><c> being</c><00:06:59.079><c> such</c><00:06:59.360><c> a</c><00:06:59.540><c> skeptic</c>

00:07:00.259 --> 00:07:02.100
that<00:07:00.620><c> you</c><00:07:00.759><c> might</c><00:07:00.920><c> think,</c><00:07:01.100><c> well,</c><00:07:01.240><c> he</c><00:07:01.379><c> may</c><00:07:01.500><c> as</c><00:07:01.620><c> well</c><00:07:01.740><c> just</c><00:07:02.079><c> slit</c>

00:07:02.100 --> 00:07:03.899
his<00:07:02.379><c> wrists</c><00:07:02.699><c> and</c><00:07:02.879><c> end</c><00:07:03.040><c> it</c><00:07:03.300><c> now,</c>

00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.959
because<00:07:04.759><c> life</c><00:07:05.079><c> is</c><00:07:05.339><c> just</c><00:07:05.600><c> so</c><00:07:05.860><c> miserable,</c>

00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.480
and<00:07:07.600><c> it's</c><00:07:07.879><c> all</c><00:07:08.100><c> going</c><00:07:08.300><c> to</c><00:07:08.420><c> end</c><00:07:08.600><c> in</c><00:07:08.839><c> death</c><00:07:09.019><c> anyway,</c>

00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.540
so<00:07:10.040><c> why</c><00:07:10.319><c> don't</c><00:07:10.399><c> I</c><00:07:10.600><c> just</c><00:07:10.819><c> sit</c><00:07:11.000><c> down</c><00:07:11.279><c> and</c><00:07:11.459><c> quit</c><00:07:11.639><c> bothering?</c>

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:17.120
And<00:07:14.160><c> here,</c><00:07:15.100><c> the</c><00:07:15.480><c> narrator</c><00:07:15.800><c> is</c><00:07:16.060><c> telling</c><00:07:16.180><c> us</c><00:07:16.319><c> that's</c><00:07:16.639><c> not</c><00:07:16.899><c> the</c>

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:18.360
conclusion<00:07:17.459><c> that</c><00:07:17.660><c> the</c><00:07:17.819><c> preacher</c><00:07:18.060><c> drew,</c>

00:07:18.420 --> 00:07:19.560
and<00:07:18.600><c> that's</c><00:07:18.819><c> not</c><00:07:18.980><c> what</c><00:07:19.120><c> he</c><00:07:19.300><c> did.</c>

00:07:19.899 --> 00:07:21.899
So<00:07:20.079><c> he</c><00:07:20.220><c> observed</c><00:07:20.620><c> all</c><00:07:20.819><c> these</c><00:07:21.060><c> things</c><00:07:21.259><c> about</c><00:07:21.540><c> life</c>

00:07:21.899 --> 00:07:25.740
and<00:07:22.819><c> collected</c><00:07:23.459><c> these</c><00:07:24.439><c> observations,</c>

00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:30.220
and<00:07:27.160><c> he</c><00:07:27.800><c> still</c><00:07:28.259><c> taught</c><00:07:28.560><c> the</c><00:07:28.819><c> people</c><00:07:29.100><c> knowledge.</c>

00:07:33.259 --> 00:07:35.079
And<00:07:33.420><c> do</c><00:07:33.519><c> you</c><00:07:33.519><c> notice</c><00:07:33.839><c> who</c><00:07:34.040><c> it</c><00:07:34.180><c> is</c><00:07:34.319><c> that</c><00:07:34.480><c> he</c><00:07:34.639><c> teaches?</c>

00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:37.060
He's<00:07:35.519><c> not</c><00:07:35.759><c> some</c><00:07:36.019><c> academic,</c><00:07:36.680><c> is</c><00:07:36.800><c> he?</c>

00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:41.800

No,<00:08:31.439><c> he</c><00:08:31.480><c> didn't</c><00:08:31.720><c> do</c><00:08:31.899><c> any</c><00:08:32.120><c> of</c><00:08:32.240><c> those</c><00:08:32.480><c> things.</c>

00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:45.759
Now<00:08:44.100><c> we</c><00:08:44.200><c> know</c><00:08:44.379><c> someone</c><00:08:44.580><c> who</c><00:08:44.700><c> did</c><00:08:44.799><c> that,</c><00:08:45.200><c> don't</c><00:08:45.220><c> we?</c>

00:08:53.659 --> 00:08:57.440
The<00:08:53.759><c> preacher</c><00:08:54.299><c> sought</c><00:08:54.740><c> to</c><00:08:55.019><c> find</c><00:08:55.259><c> out</c><00:08:55.580><c> acceptable</c><00:08:56.240><c> words,</c>

00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:14.379
And<00:10:12.100><c> when</c><00:10:12.200><c> we</c><00:10:12.500><c> present</c><00:10:12.779><c> the</c><00:10:13.000><c> results</c><00:10:13.240><c> of</c><00:10:13.480><c> our</c><00:10:13.659><c> Bible</c><00:10:13.960><c> study,</c>

00:10:14.620 --> 00:10:17.820
you<00:10:15.220><c> can't</c><00:10:15.559><c> really</c><00:10:15.899><c> have</c><00:10:16.059><c> the</c><00:10:16.279><c> attitude</c><00:10:16.620><c> of,</c><00:10:17.279><c> well,</c><00:10:17.320><c> I'm</c><00:10:17.600><c> just</c>

00:10:17.820 --> 00:10:20.720
going<00:10:18.059><c> to</c><00:10:18.860><c> do</c><00:10:19.759><c> my</c><00:10:20.019><c> Bible</c><00:10:20.299><c> study,</c>

00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:24.080
and<00:10:21.320><c> I'm</c><00:10:21.580><c> not</c><00:10:21.759><c> going</c><00:10:21.919><c> to</c><00:10:22.100><c> think</c><00:10:22.299><c> about</c><00:10:22.600><c> how</c><00:10:22.799><c> it's</c><00:10:23.120><c> presented.</c>

00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.460
The<00:10:25.139><c> preacher</c><00:10:25.539><c> here</c><00:10:25.960><c> gave</c><00:10:26.559><c> good</c><00:10:27.039><c> heed,</c><00:10:27.500><c> he</c><00:10:27.720><c> paid</c><00:10:27.919><c> attention,</c>

00:10:28.460 --> 00:10:35.139
he<00:10:28.840><c> sought</c><00:10:29.139><c> to</c><00:10:29.399><c> find</c><00:10:29.620><c> out</c><00:10:29.940><c> pleasing</c><00:10:30.360><c> words,</c><00:10:31.120><c> words</c><00:10:31.440><c> that</c><00:10:31.639><c> would</c><00:10:31.860><c> actually</c><00:10:32.879><c> reach</c><00:10:34.820><c> out</c>

00:10:35.139 --> 00:10:36.039
to<00:10:35.340><c> an</c><00:10:35.519><c> audience,</c>

00:10:36.139 --> 00:10:37.759
because<00:10:36.299><c> he</c><00:10:36.379><c> was</c><00:10:36.580><c> a</c><00:10:36.720><c> preacher,</c><00:10:37.299><c> wasn't</c><00:10:37.399><c> he,</c>

00:10:37.860 --> 00:10:41.500
that<00:10:38.000><c> would</c><00:10:38.159><c> reach</c><00:10:38.440><c> out</c><00:10:38.679><c> to</c><00:10:38.799><c> an</c><00:10:39.000><c> audience</c><00:10:39.340><c> and</c><00:10:40.399><c> draw</c><00:10:40.960><c> them</c><00:10:41.200><c> in</c>

00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:42.840
and<00:10:41.899><c> inspire</c><00:10:42.399><c> them</c>

00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.879
and<00:10:43.100><c> motivate</c><00:10:43.659><c> them</c><00:10:43.919><c> to</c><00:10:44.100><c> go</c><00:10:44.259><c> out</c><00:10:44.519><c> and</c><00:10:44.639><c> live</c><00:10:44.860><c> differently.</c>

00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.899
And<00:10:46.799><c> that's</c><00:10:47.039><c> what</c><00:10:47.340><c> we</c><00:10:48.220><c> should</c><00:10:48.360><c> be</c><00:10:48.539><c> trying</c><00:10:48.679><c> to</c><00:10:48.840><c> do.</c>

00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.620
We<00:10:49.039><c> should</c><00:10:49.639><c> be</c><00:10:49.840><c> giving</c><00:10:50.019><c> attention,</c><00:10:50.440><c> obviously,</c><00:10:50.879><c> to</c><00:10:51.000><c> the</c><00:10:51.159><c> content</c><00:10:51.460><c> of</c>

00:10:51.620 --> 00:10:53.919
what<00:10:51.759><c> we're</c><00:10:51.980><c> saying,</c><00:10:52.440><c> shouldn't</c><00:10:52.639><c> we,</c><00:10:53.659><c> brethren,</c>

00:10:54.059 --> 00:10:55.720
when<00:10:54.460><c> we</c><00:10:54.639><c> teach</c><00:10:54.899><c> and</c><00:10:55.039><c> when</c><00:10:55.179><c> we</c><00:10:55.399><c> preach.</c>

00:10:55.720 --> 00:11:01.440
But<00:10:56.080><c> we</c><00:10:56.299><c> also</c><00:10:56.679><c> need</c><00:10:57.019><c> to</c><00:10:57.259><c> spend</c><00:10:57.480><c> time</c><00:10:57.919><c> to</c><00:10:58.139><c> think</c><00:10:58.399><c> about</c><00:10:59.179><c> how</c><00:11:00.019><c> we're</c><00:11:00.340><c> presenting</c><00:11:00.700><c> the</c><00:11:01.000><c> teachings</c>

00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:04.299
and<00:11:01.840><c> to</c><00:11:02.000><c> make</c><00:11:02.139><c> sure</c><00:11:02.320><c> that</c><00:11:02.480><c> we're</c><00:11:02.620><c> doing</c><00:11:02.879><c> that</c><00:11:03.139><c> to</c><00:11:03.759><c> the</c><00:11:03.899><c> best</c><00:11:04.100><c> of</c>

00:11:04.299 --> 00:11:05.440
our<00:11:04.460><c> ability.</c>

00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.500
Now,<00:11:07.059><c> then</c><00:11:07.179><c> he</c><00:11:07.299><c> says</c><00:11:07.419><c> something</c><00:11:07.799><c> in</c><00:11:08.100><c> verse</c><00:11:08.460><c> 11.</c>

00:11:18.980 --> 00:11:21.460
Now,<00:11:19.539><c> that's</c><00:11:20.100><c> a</c><00:11:20.159><c> bit</c><00:11:20.240><c> of</c><00:11:20.419><c> a</c><00:11:20.519><c> complicated</c><00:11:20.980><c> verse,</c>

00:11:21.500 --> 00:11:24.899
and<00:11:22.000><c> there's</c><00:11:22.480><c> some</c><00:11:22.720><c> debate</c><00:11:23.059><c> about</c><00:11:23.379><c> how</c><00:11:23.639><c> exactly</c><00:11:23.980><c> to</c><00:11:24.259><c> translate</c><00:11:24.639><c> it,</c>

00:11:24.899 --> 00:11:28.600
but<00:11:25.179><c> I</c><00:11:25.379><c> think</c><00:11:26.139><c> the</c><00:11:26.419><c> essential</c><00:11:26.799><c> ideas</c><00:11:27.340><c> here</c><00:11:27.860><c> are</c><00:11:28.259><c> actually</c>

00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:29.980
quite<00:11:28.980><c> clear.</c>

00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.519
And<00:11:30.679><c> there</c><00:11:31.159><c> are</c><00:11:31.299><c> two</c><00:11:31.600><c> images</c><00:11:32.000><c> that</c><00:11:32.240><c> are</c><00:11:32.360><c> being</c><00:11:32.639><c> used,</c><00:11:33.080><c> both</c><00:11:33.320><c> of</c>

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:34.419
which<00:11:33.700><c> are</c><00:11:34.039><c> related.</c>

00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:36.799
So<00:11:35.100><c> the</c><00:11:35.200><c> words</c><00:11:35.379><c> of</c><00:11:35.559><c> the</c><00:11:35.759><c> wise</c><00:11:35.980><c> are</c><00:11:36.220><c> as</c><00:11:36.460><c> goads.</c>

00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:40.879
Now,<00:11:37.139><c> that's</c><00:11:38.139><c> a</c><00:11:38.259><c> fairly</c><00:11:38.379><c> straightforward</c><00:11:39.159><c> bit,</c><00:11:40.139><c> then.</c>

00:11:41.740 --> 00:11:43.139
What's<00:11:42.259><c> a</c><00:11:42.360><c> goad?</c>

00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.679
Well,<00:11:43.879><c> it's</c><00:11:44.279><c> like</c><00:11:44.519><c> a</c><00:11:44.740><c> cattle</c><00:11:44.940><c> prod,</c><00:11:45.240><c> isn't</c><00:11:45.399><c> it?</c>

00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:50.059
It's<00:11:46.080><c> the</c><00:11:46.279><c> thing</c><00:11:46.460><c> that</c><00:11:46.659><c> is</c><00:11:46.899><c> used</c><00:11:47.220><c> to</c><00:11:47.500><c> make</c><00:11:47.679><c> the</c><00:11:48.019><c> ox</c><00:11:48.419><c> do</c><00:11:49.059><c> something.</c>

00:11:53.679 --> 00:12:00.840
So<00:11:54.320><c> here,</c><00:11:55.360><c> the</c><00:11:55.960><c> editor</c><00:11:56.360><c> or</c><00:11:56.679><c> the</c><00:11:56.860><c> narrator</c><00:11:57.279><c> is</c><00:11:58.820><c> telling</c><00:11:59.080><c> us</c><00:11:59.639><c> that</c><00:12:00.440><c> the</c>

00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:01.759
words<00:12:01.000><c> of</c><00:12:01.200><c> the</c><00:12:01.360><c> preacher,</c>

00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:06.120
as<00:12:02.279><c> one</c><00:12:02.480><c> of</c><00:12:02.659><c> the</c><00:12:02.899><c> wise</c><00:12:03.320><c> men</c><00:12:03.899><c> of</c><00:12:04.600><c> the</c><00:12:04.820><c> ancient</c><00:12:05.139><c> world,</c>

00:12:07.500 --> 00:12:12.360
has<00:12:07.740><c> brought</c><00:12:07.980><c> these</c><00:12:08.299><c> words</c><00:12:08.659><c> together</c><00:12:09.419><c> to</c><00:12:10.820><c> be</c><00:12:10.980><c> like</c><00:12:11.240><c> a</c><00:12:11.419><c> cattle</c><00:12:11.620><c> prod.</c>

00:12:13.340 --> 00:12:15.679
And<00:12:13.580><c> we</c><00:12:13.720><c> are</c><00:12:13.899><c> the</c><00:12:14.039><c> people</c><00:12:14.279><c> that</c><00:12:14.440><c> he's</c><00:12:14.700><c> prodding.</c>

00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.559
We're<00:12:16.399><c> meant</c><00:12:16.620><c> to</c><00:12:16.919><c> read</c><00:12:17.179><c> the</c><00:12:17.340><c> book</c><00:12:17.519><c> of</c><00:12:17.799><c> Ecclesiastes</c>

00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.919

00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.440
We're<00:12:21.700><c> meant</c><00:12:21.799><c> to</c><00:12:22.039><c> be</c><00:12:22.299><c> different</c><00:12:22.679><c> people</c><00:12:23.299><c> because</c><00:12:24.000><c> of</c><00:12:24.220><c> having</c>

00:12:27.259 --> 00:12:29.940
It's<00:12:27.480><c> meant</c><00:12:27.659><c> to</c><00:12:27.919><c> be</c><00:12:28.259><c> a</c><00:12:28.419><c> goad</c><00:12:28.519><c> for</c><00:12:28.779><c> us,</c><00:12:28.940><c> just</c><00:12:29.139><c> like</c><00:12:29.460><c> the</c><00:12:29.600><c> book</c><00:12:29.740><c> of</c>

that<00:12:36.059><c> should</c><00:12:36.379><c> be</c><00:12:37.019><c> motivating</c><00:12:37.519><c> us</c><00:12:37.840><c> and</c><00:12:38.059><c> prodding</c><00:12:38.379><c> us</c><00:12:39.039><c> into</c><00:12:40.000><c> action,</c>

00:12:48.779 --> 00:12:51.799
And<00:12:48.960><c> then</c><00:12:49.100><c> the</c><00:12:49.179><c> second</c><00:12:49.419><c> bit,</c><00:12:49.679><c> then,</c><00:12:49.740><c> which</c><00:12:49.860><c> is</c><00:12:50.000><c> the</c><00:12:50.100><c> more</c><00:12:50.379><c> complicated</c><00:12:50.860><c> bit.</c>

00:12:51.940 --> 00:13:02.299
And<00:12:52.080><c> the</c><00:12:52.240><c> idea</c><00:12:52.580><c> here</c><00:12:53.100><c> is</c><00:12:53.860><c> that</c><00:12:54.960><c> a</c><00:13:00.419><c> master</c><00:13:00.860><c> of</c><00:13:01.320><c> assemblies</c>

The<00:13:05.259><c> word</c><00:13:05.480><c> master</c><00:13:05.779><c> there</c><00:13:05.960><c> is</c><00:13:06.080><c> actually</c><00:13:06.299><c> the</c><00:13:06.500><c> word</c><00:13:06.700><c> bail,</c><00:13:07.139><c> the</c>

00:13:08.899 --> 00:13:13.960
The<00:13:09.539><c> idea</c><00:13:09.960><c> here,</c><00:13:10.759><c> I</c><00:13:11.019><c> think,</c><00:13:11.440><c> is</c><00:13:11.639><c> of</c><00:13:11.940><c> someone</c><00:13:12.340><c> who</c><00:13:12.580><c> is</c><00:13:13.080><c> an</c><00:13:13.360><c> expert</c><00:13:13.639><c> in</c>

00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:33.960
Now,<00:13:30.059><c> you</c><00:13:30.360><c> could</c><00:13:30.600><c> think</c><00:13:30.860><c> of</c><00:13:30.980><c> that</c><00:13:31.279><c> as</c><00:13:31.820><c> putting</c><00:13:32.539><c> nails</c><00:13:33.039><c> in</c><00:13:33.240><c> a</c><00:13:33.419><c> fence</c><00:13:33.679><c> to</c>

00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.720
More<00:13:37.799><c> probably,</c><00:13:38.600><c> this</c><00:13:38.679><c> is</c><00:13:38.960><c> a</c><00:13:39.299><c> nail</c><00:13:39.539><c> fastened</c><00:13:39.980><c> on</c><00:13:40.159><c> the</c><00:13:40.279><c> end</c><00:13:40.460><c> of</c>

00:13:43.259 --> 00:13:47.379
So<00:13:43.580><c> rather</c><00:13:44.460><c> like</c><00:13:44.799><c> the</c><00:13:45.100><c> goad,</c><00:13:45.440><c> it's</c><00:13:46.379><c> more</c><00:13:46.600><c> or</c><00:13:46.700><c> less</c><00:13:46.840><c> a</c><00:13:47.059><c> synonym</c>

00:14:36.179 --> 00:14:39.139
Yes,<00:14:36.580><c> we</c><00:14:36.820><c> study</c><00:14:36.960><c> because</c><00:14:37.220><c> we</c><00:14:37.460><c> want</c><00:14:37.659><c> to</c><00:14:37.840><c> know</c><00:14:37.960><c> and</c><00:14:38.139><c> we</c><00:14:38.279><c> want</c><00:14:38.500><c> to</c><00:14:38.720><c> understand.</c>

00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:37.559
And<00:15:36.080><c> there's</c><00:15:36.539><c> no</c><00:15:36.740><c> end</c><00:15:36.899><c> to</c><00:15:37.080><c> writing</c><00:15:37.279><c> books.</c>

00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.360
We<00:15:37.740><c> talked</c><00:15:37.919><c> about</c><00:15:38.120><c> all</c><00:15:38.320><c> those</c><00:15:38.460><c> books</c><00:15:38.659><c> that</c><00:15:38.860><c> had</c><00:15:38.980><c> been</c><00:15:39.139><c> written</c>

00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:42.480
about<00:15:39.700><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:15:40.820><c> yesterday.</c>

00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:49.259
There's<00:15:44.840><c> all</c><00:15:45.039><c> kinds</c><00:15:45.419><c> of</c><00:15:46.299><c> theory,</c><00:15:47.340><c> of</c><00:15:47.740><c> opinion,</c><00:15:48.440><c> of</c><00:15:48.720><c> debate</c>

00:15:49.259 --> 00:15:52.940
out<00:15:51.879><c> there,</c>

00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.700
but<00:15:54.480><c> we</c><00:15:54.960><c> don't</c><00:15:55.240><c> indulge</c><00:15:55.799><c> in</c><00:15:55.960><c> that</c><00:15:56.139><c> for</c><00:15:56.379><c> its</c><00:15:56.580><c> own</c><00:15:56.779><c> sake.</c>

00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:00.360
You<00:15:57.799><c> know,</c><00:15:57.820><c> like,</c><00:15:58.580><c> you</c><00:15:59.299><c> know,</c><00:15:59.379><c> there's</c><00:15:59.620><c> a</c><00:15:59.759><c> certain</c><00:15:59.899><c> part</c><00:16:00.139><c> of</c>

00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:00.980
academic<00:16:00.659><c> life,</c>

00:16:01.059 --> 00:16:02.360
there's<00:16:01.220><c> just</c><00:16:01.480><c> about</c><00:16:01.759><c> that,</c><00:16:02.039><c> isn't</c><00:16:02.159><c> it?</c>

00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.519
You<00:16:02.460><c> know,</c><00:16:02.639><c> like,</c><00:16:02.980><c> how</c><00:16:03.120><c> many</c><00:16:03.299><c> footnotes</c><00:16:03.620><c> were</c><00:16:03.759><c> in</c><00:16:03.860><c> your</c><00:16:04.080><c> PhD?</c>

00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:07.919
You<00:16:05.100><c> know,</c><00:16:05.100><c> oh,</c><00:16:05.340><c> well,</c><00:16:05.480><c> I</c><00:16:06.019><c> had</c><00:16:06.159><c> more</c><00:16:06.399><c> footnotes</c><00:16:06.820><c> than</c><00:16:06.980><c> you.</c>

00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:10.000
And,<00:16:08.500><c> you</c><00:16:08.580><c> know,</c><00:16:08.700><c> I've</c><00:16:09.039><c> been</c><00:16:09.200><c> there</c><00:16:09.419><c> and</c><00:16:09.500><c> I've</c><00:16:09.720><c> done</c><00:16:09.799><c> that.</c>

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.460
I've<00:16:10.179><c> done</c><00:16:10.299><c> my</c><00:16:10.519><c> share</c><00:16:10.740><c> of</c><00:16:10.919><c> footnotes.</c>

00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:14.600
You<00:16:12.620><c> know,</c><00:16:12.799><c> I've</c><00:16:12.980><c> served</c><00:16:12.980><c> my</c><00:16:13.659><c> time.</c>

00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:19.139
But,<00:16:16.019><c> you</c><00:16:16.419><c> know,</c><00:16:16.720><c> it's</c><00:16:16.940><c> just</c><00:16:17.639><c> a</c><00:16:18.659><c> lot</c><00:16:18.840><c> of</c><00:16:18.960><c> it.</c>

00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:20.320
It's<00:16:19.519><c> just</c><00:16:19.759><c> so</c><00:16:20.019><c> meaningless.</c>

00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:22.559
A<00:16:20.559><c> lot</c><00:16:20.659><c> of</c><00:16:20.799><c> it</c><00:16:21.000><c> is,</c><00:16:21.299><c> you</c><00:16:21.440><c> know,</c><00:16:21.580><c> and</c><00:16:21.740><c> really</c><00:16:21.860><c> it's</c><00:16:22.059><c> about</c><00:16:22.220><c> the</c>

00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:23.600
conclusion,<00:16:23.039><c> isn't</c><00:16:23.200><c> it?</c>

00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:26.759
You<00:16:23.840><c> know,</c><00:16:24.240><c> what</c><00:16:25.000><c> are</c><00:16:25.159><c> we</c><00:16:25.320><c> actually</c><00:16:25.620><c> learning</c><00:16:26.000><c> from</c><00:16:26.340><c> this</c><00:16:26.580><c> and</c>

00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:28.820
what<00:16:27.019><c> difference</c><00:16:27.259><c> is</c><00:16:27.399><c> it</c><00:16:27.580><c> going</c><00:16:27.700><c> to</c><00:16:27.960><c> make?</c>

00:16:29.419 --> 00:16:31.539
That's<00:16:29.820><c> the</c><00:16:30.080><c> question</c><00:16:30.440><c> that</c><00:16:30.620><c> we</c><00:16:30.799><c> should</c><00:16:30.940><c> be,</c><00:16:31.360><c> you</c><00:16:31.399><c> know,</c>

00:16:31.539 --> 00:16:35.539
that<00:16:31.919><c> we</c><00:16:32.059><c> should</c><00:16:32.220><c> have</c><00:16:32.440><c> at</c><00:16:32.580><c> the</c><00:16:32.700><c> back</c><00:16:32.820><c> of</c><00:16:33.000><c> our</c><00:16:33.179><c> mind</c><00:16:33.559><c> as</c><00:16:34.019><c> we</c><00:16:34.279><c> do</c>

00:16:35.539 --> 00:16:36.620
our<00:16:35.779><c> study.</c>

00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.539
So,<00:16:39.399><c> really,</c><00:16:39.679><c> there's</c><00:16:40.019><c> a</c><00:16:40.200><c> sense</c><00:16:40.360><c> in</c><00:16:40.480><c> which</c><00:16:40.679><c> the</c><00:16:40.840><c> narrator</c><00:16:41.139><c> is</c><00:16:41.360><c> saying,</c>

00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:44.440
okay,<00:16:41.799><c> so</c><00:16:41.980><c> we've</c><00:16:42.179><c> had</c><00:16:42.320><c> our</c><00:16:42.600><c> time</c><00:16:42.779><c> now</c><00:16:43.179><c> thinking</c><00:16:43.600><c> about</c><00:16:43.879><c> the</c><00:16:44.080><c> words</c><00:16:44.240><c> of</c>

00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:45.460
the<00:16:44.600><c> preacher.</c>

00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.639
We've<00:16:46.139><c> had</c><00:16:46.220><c> our</c><00:16:46.519><c> time</c><00:16:47.019><c> considering</c><00:16:47.559><c> the</c><00:16:47.879><c> human</c><00:16:48.080><c> condition</c>

00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:53.039
and<00:16:48.940><c> the</c><00:16:49.179><c> various</c><00:16:49.539><c> incongruities</c><00:16:50.379><c> and</c><00:16:50.600><c> difficulties</c><00:16:51.179><c> and</c><00:16:51.399><c> frustrations</c><00:16:51.960><c> and</c><00:16:52.220><c> vanities</c><00:16:52.580><c> in</c><00:16:52.840><c> life.</c>

00:16:53.179 --> 00:16:57.019
And<00:16:53.399><c> now</c><00:16:53.519><c> it's</c><00:16:53.679><c> time</c><00:16:53.779><c> to</c><00:16:53.980><c> get</c><00:16:54.100><c> out</c><00:16:54.340><c> there</c><00:16:54.700><c> and</c><00:16:54.860><c> get</c><00:16:56.039><c> back</c><00:16:56.259><c> on</c><00:16:56.440><c> with</c><00:16:56.519><c> it</c><00:16:56.740><c> again.</c>

00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.519
You<00:16:57.360><c> know,</c><00:16:57.500><c> we're</c><00:16:57.620><c> not</c><00:16:57.779><c> going</c><00:16:57.960><c> to</c><00:16:58.100><c> sit</c><00:16:58.279><c> around</c><00:16:58.899><c> bemoaning.</c>

00:16:59.700 --> 00:17:02.279
We're<00:17:00.019><c> going</c><00:17:00.120><c> to</c><00:17:00.200><c> go</c><00:17:00.379><c> out</c><00:17:00.580><c> there</c><00:17:00.799><c> and</c><00:17:01.000><c> live</c><00:17:01.139><c> our</c><00:17:01.419><c> lives</c><00:17:01.659><c> to</c><00:17:01.960><c> God</c>

00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:09.279
And<00:17:05.480><c> do</c><00:17:05.640><c> you</c><00:17:05.700><c> see</c><00:17:05.799><c> how</c><00:17:06.880><c> the</c><00:17:07.619><c> narrator</c><00:17:07.940><c> here,</c><00:17:08.160><c> this</c><00:17:08.339><c> voice,</c><00:17:09.039><c> is</c>

00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:11.460
sort<00:17:09.480><c> of</c><00:17:09.799><c> drawing</c><00:17:10.099><c> us</c><00:17:10.319><c> all</c><00:17:10.559><c> together</c><00:17:10.980><c> now</c>

00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:15.880
and<00:17:11.740><c> saying,</c><00:17:12.440><c> you</c><00:17:12.539><c> know,</c><00:17:13.519><c> it's</c><00:17:14.559><c> a</c><00:17:14.759><c> shame</c><00:17:14.960><c> that</c><00:17:15.140><c> we</c><00:17:15.259><c> have</c><00:17:15.460><c> to</c><00:17:15.599><c> live</c><00:17:15.740><c> in</c>

00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.420
this<00:17:16.220><c> vain</c><00:17:16.440><c> world</c><00:17:16.819><c> because</c><00:17:17.240><c> of</c><00:17:17.579><c> human</c><00:17:17.819><c> sinfulness,</c>

00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.599
but<00:17:18.859><c> that's</c><00:17:19.180><c> how</c><00:17:19.380><c> it</c><00:17:19.559><c> is</c><00:17:19.759><c> by</c><00:17:20.019><c> God's</c><00:17:20.440><c> design</c><00:17:20.900><c> and</c><00:17:21.619><c> by</c><00:17:21.920><c> God's</c><00:17:22.259><c> grace</c><00:17:22.440><c> we</c>

00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:23.960
have<00:17:22.819><c> a</c><00:17:22.920><c> hope</c><00:17:23.059><c> for</c><00:17:23.279><c> something</c><00:17:23.559><c> better.</c>

00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:29.140
So<00:17:24.500><c> let's</c><00:17:24.839><c> now</c><00:17:25.339><c> get</c><00:17:25.640><c> out</c><00:17:25.920><c> there,</c><00:17:26.339><c> you</c><00:17:26.500><c> know,</c><00:17:27.059><c> and</c><00:17:28.200><c> go</c><00:17:28.440><c> out</c><00:17:28.859><c> and</c>

00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:35.779
Let<00:17:32.819><c> us</c><00:17:33.079><c> hear</c><00:17:33.180><c> the</c><00:17:33.500><c> conclusion</c><00:17:34.019><c> of</c><00:17:34.440><c> the</c><00:17:34.640><c> whole</c><00:17:34.819><c> matter.</c>

00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:39.859
Fear<00:17:36.359><c> God</c><00:17:36.759><c> and</c><00:17:37.359><c> keep</c><00:17:37.559><c> his</c><00:17:37.759><c> commandments,</c><00:17:38.539><c> for</c><00:17:38.740><c> this</c><00:17:39.200><c> is</c><00:17:39.640><c> the</c>

00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:46.200
Or<00:17:44.039><c> this</c><00:17:44.299><c> is</c><00:17:44.940><c> every</c><00:17:45.339><c> man.</c>

00:17:47.859 --> 00:17:51.380
And,<00:17:47.859><c> you</c><00:17:48.500><c> know,</c><00:17:48.519><c> the</c><00:17:48.680><c> idea</c><00:17:49.039><c> of</c><00:17:49.700><c> that</c><00:17:50.000><c> really</c><00:17:50.359><c> is</c><00:17:50.740><c> that's</c><00:17:51.240><c> what</c>

00:17:51.380 --> 00:17:52.839
it's<00:17:51.619><c> all</c><00:17:51.859><c> about.</c>

00:17:53.579 --> 00:17:54.680
That's<00:17:53.960><c> what</c><00:17:54.140><c> really</c><00:17:54.440><c> matters.</c>

00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:58.660
At<00:17:54.920><c> the</c><00:17:55.039><c> end</c><00:17:55.180><c> of</c><00:17:55.359><c> the</c><00:17:55.480><c> day,</c><00:17:55.960><c> the</c><00:17:56.180><c> bottom</c><00:17:56.440><c> line</c><00:17:56.779><c> is</c><00:17:57.420><c> we</c><00:17:58.480><c> should</c>

00:17:58.660 --> 00:18:01.779
be<00:17:58.920><c> fearing</c><00:17:59.180><c> God</c><00:17:59.579><c> and</c><00:18:00.119><c> keeping</c><00:18:00.400><c> his</c><00:18:00.660><c> commandments.</c>

00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:06.240
Now,<00:18:02.920><c> some</c><00:18:03.059><c> people</c><00:18:03.259><c> say,</c><00:18:03.460><c> well,</c><00:18:03.559><c> how</c><00:18:03.700><c> can</c><00:18:03.880><c> you</c><00:18:04.039><c> get</c><00:18:04.200><c> that</c><00:18:04.460><c> message</c><00:18:04.799><c> from</c><00:18:05.359><c> Ecclesiastes?</c>

00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:08.900
Well,<00:18:07.099><c> from</c><00:18:07.500><c> the</c><00:18:07.700><c> words</c><00:18:07.819><c> of</c><00:18:08.000><c> the</c><00:18:08.140><c> preacher.</c>

00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:13.579
Well,<00:18:09.599><c> this</c><00:18:11.039><c> is</c><00:18:11.319><c> the</c><00:18:11.519><c> lens</c><00:18:11.960><c> through</c><00:18:12.359><c> which</c><00:18:12.579><c> we</c><00:18:12.799><c> should</c><00:18:12.900><c> be</c><00:18:13.119><c> reading</c><00:18:13.359><c> the</c>

words<00:18:13.700><c> of</c><00:18:13.900><c> the</c><00:18:14.039><c> preacher.</c>

00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:20.200
We<00:18:15.380><c> should</c><00:18:15.880><c> be</c><00:18:16.180><c> looking</c><00:18:16.559><c> to</c><00:18:17.839><c> extract</c><00:18:18.740><c> that</c><00:18:19.319><c> message</c><00:18:19.700><c> from</c><00:18:19.980><c> it.</c>

00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:22.500
And<00:18:20.619><c> once</c><00:18:20.779><c> we</c><00:18:20.940><c> look</c><00:18:21.059><c> at</c><00:18:21.160><c> it</c><00:18:21.259><c> through</c><00:18:21.420><c> that</c><00:18:21.640><c> lens,</c><00:18:21.900><c> the</c><00:18:22.019><c> book</c><00:18:22.099><c> makes</c><00:18:22.359><c> a</c>

whole<00:18:22.619><c> lot</c><00:18:22.740><c> of</c><00:18:22.940><c> sense,</c><00:18:23.420><c> I</c><00:18:23.779><c> think.</c>

00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:27.480
And<00:18:25.000><c> it</c><00:18:25.240><c> has</c><00:18:25.759><c> a</c><00:18:26.019><c> huge</c><00:18:26.180><c> amount</c><00:18:26.400><c> of</c><00:18:26.640><c> beauty.</c>

00:18:32.019 --> 00:18:38.420
You<00:18:32.539><c> know,</c><00:18:33.319><c> sometimes</c><00:18:33.680><c> we</c><00:18:34.380><c> use</c><00:18:35.079><c> just</c><00:18:37.400><c> this</c><00:18:37.599><c> idea.</c>

00:18:38.539 --> 00:18:40.920
You'll<00:18:39.059><c> notice</c><00:18:39.079><c> there</c><00:18:39.279><c> that</c><00:18:39.440><c> the</c><00:18:39.579><c> word</c><00:18:39.759><c> duty</c><00:18:40.079><c> is</c><00:18:40.299><c> in</c><00:18:40.519><c> italics</c>

00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:41.940
if<00:18:41.119><c> you</c><00:18:41.240><c> have</c><00:18:41.299><c> a</c><00:18:41.460><c> King</c><00:18:41.640><c> James.</c>

00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:46.240
So<00:18:42.319><c> literally,</c><00:18:42.680><c> this</c><00:18:42.880><c> is</c><00:18:43.079><c> the</c><00:18:43.299><c> whole</c><00:18:43.559><c> man</c><00:18:43.859><c> or</c><00:18:44.019><c> this</c><00:18:44.720><c> is</c><00:18:45.039><c> every</c><00:18:45.380><c> man.</c>

00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.339
And<00:18:47.960><c> that's</c><00:18:48.480><c> an</c><00:18:48.599><c> interesting</c><00:18:49.079><c> idea.</c>

00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:53.119
You<00:18:49.480><c> know,</c><00:18:49.579><c> we</c><00:18:49.740><c> have</c><00:18:49.859><c> the</c><00:18:50.039><c> expression,</c><00:18:50.960><c> I'm</c><00:18:51.059><c> all</c><00:18:51.279><c> ears,</c><00:18:52.119><c> don't</c><00:18:52.319><c> we?</c>

00:18:53.539 --> 00:18:55.079
Now,<00:18:53.720><c> we</c><00:18:53.839><c> don't</c><00:18:54.039><c> literally</c><00:18:54.380><c> mean</c><00:18:54.640><c> that.</c>

00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:59.599
You<00:18:55.380><c> know,</c><00:18:55.519><c> if</c><00:18:55.700><c> I</c><00:18:55.940><c> say</c><00:18:56.079><c> I'm</c><00:18:56.319><c> all</c><00:18:56.500><c> ears,</c><00:18:56.759><c> I</c><00:18:56.859><c> don't</c><00:18:56.980><c> literally</c><00:18:57.259><c> mean</c><00:18:57.500><c> I've</c><00:18:57.819><c> turned</c><00:18:57.960><c> into</c><00:18:58.259><c> some</c><00:18:58.480><c> huge</c><00:18:58.819><c> pair</c><00:18:59.079><c> of</c><00:18:59.299><c> ears.</c>

00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:04.420
We<00:19:00.220><c> mean</c><00:19:00.700><c> that</c><00:19:01.460><c> right</c><00:19:01.839><c> now,</c><00:19:02.180><c> in</c><00:19:02.420><c> this</c><00:19:02.680><c> moment,</c><00:19:03.700><c> I'm</c><00:19:03.980><c> totally</c>

00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:07.119
I'm<00:19:05.680><c> listening</c><00:19:06.140><c> and</c><00:19:06.380><c> there's</c><00:19:06.660><c> nothing</c><00:19:06.859><c> else.</c>

00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:08.720
There's<00:19:07.299><c> no</c><00:19:07.480><c> distraction.</c><00:19:07.980><c> There's</c><00:19:08.140><c> nothing</c><00:19:08.299><c> else</c><00:19:08.539><c> I'm</c>

00:19:12.380 --> 00:19:13.859
I'm<00:19:12.799><c> all</c><00:19:13.039><c> ears.</c>

00:19:18.490 --> 00:19:22.660
I<00:19:18.759><c> think</c><00:19:19.220><c> the</c><00:19:20.400><c> A</c><00:19:20.700><c>.V.</c><00:19:20.960><c> says,</c><00:19:21.660><c> I</c><00:19:21.660><c> am</c><00:19:21.880><c> for</c><00:19:22.160><c> peace.</c>

00:19:23.099 --> 00:19:24.839
But<00:19:23.180><c> they</c><00:19:23.680><c> are,</c><00:19:24.140><c> you</c><00:19:24.319><c> know,</c><00:19:24.460><c> they're</c><00:19:24.660><c> not.</c>

00:19:24.859 --> 00:19:27.700
They're<00:19:25.019><c> just</c><00:19:25.240><c> interested</c><00:19:25.640><c> in</c><00:19:25.900><c> having</c><00:19:26.019><c> a</c><00:19:26.240><c> fight</c><00:19:26.460><c> or</c><00:19:26.799><c> causing</c><00:19:27.240><c> trouble.</c>

That's<00:19:48.920><c> what</c><00:19:49.079><c> we</c><00:19:49.339><c> should.</c>

00:19:50.099 --> 00:19:51.980

00:20:25.019 --> 00:20:29.900
There's<00:20:25.319><c> our</c><00:20:25.519><c> control</c><00:20:26.180><c> as</c><00:20:26.900><c> we</c><00:20:27.099><c> go</c><00:20:27.400><c> back</c><00:20:27.799><c> now</c><00:20:28.440><c> inside</c><00:20:29.240><c> the</c><00:20:29.559><c> words</c><00:20:29.700><c> of</c>

00:20:29.900 --> 00:20:30.420
the<00:20:30.039><c> preacher</c>

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:35.640
and<00:20:31.359><c> start</c><00:20:31.680><c> to</c><00:20:32.059><c> consider</c><00:20:32.559><c> what</c><00:20:33.000><c> it</c><00:20:33.240><c> is</c><00:20:33.700><c> that</c><00:20:34.279><c> in</c><00:20:34.759><c> some</c><00:20:35.039><c> more</c><00:20:35.259><c> detail,</c>

00:20:35.700 --> 00:20:38.779
some<00:20:35.900><c> of</c><00:20:36.059><c> the</c><00:20:36.299><c> observations</c><00:20:36.980><c> that</c><00:20:37.599><c> he</c><00:20:37.920><c> draws.</c>

00:20:40.539 --> 00:20:43.660
Just<00:20:40.980><c> a</c><00:20:41.180><c> couple</c><00:20:41.339><c> of</c><00:20:41.519><c> things</c><00:20:41.720><c> I</c><00:20:41.900><c> want</c><00:20:42.019><c> to</c><00:20:42.180><c> do</c><00:20:42.259><c> real</c><00:20:42.559><c> quick</c><00:20:42.740><c> before</c><00:20:43.480><c> we</c>

00:20:43.660 --> 00:20:44.980
get<00:20:43.859><c> into</c><00:20:44.180><c> that.</c>

00:20:45.539 --> 00:20:48.500
So<00:20:46.099><c> we</c><00:20:46.259><c> talked</c><00:20:46.480><c> about</c><00:20:46.680><c> the</c><00:20:46.859><c> expression</c><00:20:47.180><c> vanity</c><00:20:47.799><c> yesterday,</c>

00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:49.599
didn't<00:20:48.779><c> we?</c>

00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:52.420
And<00:20:50.400><c> we</c><00:20:50.619><c> talked</c><00:20:50.799><c> about</c><00:20:51.000><c> what</c><00:20:51.220><c> that</c><00:20:51.579><c> meant.</c>

00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:57.859
And<00:20:54.039><c> there</c><00:20:54.400><c> was</c><00:20:54.559><c> another</c><00:20:54.839><c> expression</c><00:20:55.579><c> which</c><00:20:56.019><c> is</c><00:20:56.319><c> characteristic</c><00:20:56.819><c> of</c><00:20:57.079><c> Ecclesiastes,</c>

00:20:57.940 --> 00:21:01.759
which<00:20:58.119><c> is</c><00:20:58.440><c> the</c><00:20:58.700><c> expression</c><00:20:59.680><c> vexation</c><00:21:00.480><c> of</c><00:21:00.839><c> spirit.</c>

00:21:02.099 --> 00:21:03.319
What<00:21:02.380><c> about</c><00:21:02.779><c> that?</c>

00:21:03.819 --> 00:21:09.619
Well,<00:21:05.839><c> there's</c><00:21:05.940><c> a</c><00:21:06.000><c> number</c><00:21:06.140><c> of</c><00:21:06.400><c> different</c><00:21:07.460><c> ways</c><00:21:08.220><c> that</c><00:21:09.259><c> we</c><00:21:09.359><c> can</c>

00:21:09.619 --> 00:21:10.220
understand<00:21:10.019><c> that.</c>

00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:12.380
You<00:21:10.359><c> know</c><00:21:10.519><c> the</c><00:21:10.619><c> word</c><00:21:10.740><c> for</c><00:21:11.079><c> spirit</c><00:21:11.339><c> and</c><00:21:11.619><c> the</c><00:21:11.740><c> word</c><00:21:11.859><c> for</c><00:21:12.099><c> wind.</c>

00:21:12.380 --> 00:21:13.579
It's<00:21:12.680><c> the</c><00:21:12.859><c> same</c><00:21:13.140><c> word.</c>

00:21:13.579 --> 00:21:21.579
So<00:21:14.359><c> we</c><00:21:16.160><c> might</c><00:21:16.440><c> think</c><00:21:16.740><c> of</c><00:21:16.960><c> this,</c><00:21:17.220><c> this</c><00:21:17.559><c> word</c><00:21:17.880><c> vexation,</c><00:21:20.519><c> it</c><00:21:21.380><c> can</c>

00:21:21.579 --> 00:21:22.880
mean<00:21:21.759><c> pursuit.</c>

00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:26.299
So<00:21:24.119><c> the</c><00:21:24.480><c> pursuit</c><00:21:25.099><c> of</c><00:21:25.420><c> wind.</c>

00:21:26.539 --> 00:21:28.259
Well,<00:21:26.680><c> that</c><00:21:26.859><c> sounds</c><00:21:26.960><c> pretty</c><00:21:27.259><c> pointless,</c><00:21:27.700><c> doesn't</c><00:21:27.960><c> it?</c>

00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:29.400
You<00:21:28.420><c> know,</c><00:21:28.539><c> why</c><00:21:28.740><c> would</c><00:21:28.880><c> you</c><00:21:28.980><c> do</c><00:21:29.140><c> that?</c>

00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.259
It's<00:21:29.559><c> like,</c><00:21:29.700><c> oh,</c><00:21:29.859><c> here</c><00:21:29.980><c> I</c><00:21:30.099><c> am</c><00:21:30.220><c> running</c><00:21:30.440><c> around</c><00:21:30.859><c> blowing</c><00:21:31.500><c> a</c><00:21:31.799><c> gale</c><00:21:31.980><c> out</c><00:21:32.140><c> there</c>

00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:35.259
and<00:21:32.319><c> I'm</c><00:21:32.440><c> running</c><00:21:32.619><c> around</c><00:21:32.859><c> trying</c><00:21:33.059><c> to</c><00:21:33.220><c> catch</c><00:21:33.400><c> the</c><00:21:33.599><c> wind</c><00:21:33.819><c> and</c><00:21:34.279><c> I</c>

00:21:35.259 --> 00:21:37.059
can't<00:21:35.559><c> ever</c><00:21:35.839><c> do</c><00:21:36.079><c> it.</c>

00:21:37.099 --> 00:21:39.480
You<00:21:37.279><c> see</c><00:21:37.420><c> how</c><00:21:37.579><c> that</c><00:21:37.900><c> fits</c><00:21:38.059><c> with</c><00:21:38.299><c> the</c><00:21:38.480><c> idea</c><00:21:38.759><c> of</c><00:21:39.079><c> vanity.</c>

00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:42.339
Another<00:21:40.059><c> way</c><00:21:40.299><c> people</c><00:21:40.619><c> understand</c><00:21:41.079><c> this</c><00:21:41.339><c> word</c><00:21:41.539><c> or</c><00:21:41.880><c> another</c><00:21:42.079><c> meaning</c>

00:21:42.339 --> 00:21:45.279
that<00:21:42.460><c> this</c><00:21:42.680><c> word</c><00:21:42.900><c> vexation</c><00:21:43.359><c> can</c><00:21:43.579><c> have</c><00:21:43.680><c> is</c><00:21:44.039><c> the</c><00:21:44.200><c> meaning</c><00:21:44.400><c> of</c><00:21:44.660><c> shepherding.</c>

00:21:45.740 --> 00:21:46.700
Shepherding<00:21:46.160><c> the</c><00:21:46.380><c> wind.</c>

00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.599
And<00:21:47.279><c> again,</c><00:21:47.400><c> you</c><00:21:47.539><c> can</c><00:21:47.720><c> imagine</c><00:21:48.039><c> a</c><00:21:48.259><c> shepherd</c><00:21:48.519><c> and</c><00:21:48.960><c> instead</c><00:21:49.420><c> of</c>

00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:50.539
prodding<00:21:49.940><c> the</c><00:21:50.079><c> sheep</c><00:21:50.279><c> around,</c>

00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:52.380
you're<00:21:50.779><c> trying</c><00:21:50.880><c> to</c><00:21:51.079><c> prod</c><00:21:51.200><c> the</c><00:21:51.420><c> wind</c><00:21:51.599><c> and</c><00:21:51.740><c> get</c><00:21:51.839><c> it</c><00:21:52.019><c> to</c><00:21:52.160><c> go</c><00:21:52.240><c> where</c>

00:21:52.380 --> 00:21:52.880

00:21:54.460 --> 00:21:55.640
And<00:21:54.680><c> of</c><00:21:54.880><c> course</c><00:21:54.980><c> you</c><00:21:55.079><c> can't</c><00:21:55.339><c> do</c><00:21:55.480><c> it.</c>

00:21:55.759 --> 00:22:00.339
And<00:21:55.920><c> as</c><00:21:56.039><c> soon</c><00:21:56.160><c> as</c><00:21:56.299><c> you</c><00:21:56.519><c> do</c><00:21:56.980><c> contain</c><00:21:57.519><c> some</c><00:21:57.819><c> wind,</c><00:21:58.460><c> it's</c><00:21:58.700><c> not</c><00:21:58.819><c> wind</c><00:21:59.019><c> anymore,</c><00:21:59.380><c> is</c><00:21:59.539><c> it?</c>

00:22:00.700 --> 00:22:04.819
It's<00:22:01.119><c> just</c><00:22:01.400><c> air</c><00:22:01.779><c> just</c><00:22:02.099><c> sat</c><00:22:02.319><c> there</c><00:22:02.819><c> and</c><00:22:03.640><c> it</c><00:22:03.920><c> ceases</c><00:22:04.180><c> to</c><00:22:04.440><c> be</c><00:22:04.640><c> wind.</c>

00:22:04.859 --> 00:22:07.500
You<00:22:05.019><c> can't</c><00:22:05.339><c> ever</c><00:22:05.640><c> get</c><00:22:05.839><c> hold</c><00:22:06.079><c> of</c><00:22:06.299><c> it.</c>

00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:44.160
just<00:22:43.680><c> like</c><00:22:43.980><c> that.</c>

00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:48.640
It<00:22:44.319><c> doesn't</c><00:22:44.559><c> have</c><00:22:44.819><c> any</c><00:22:45.160><c> ultimate</c><00:22:46.319><c> significance</c><00:22:47.180><c> or</c><00:22:47.819><c> meaning.</c>

You<00:22:58.759><c> know,</c><00:22:59.039><c> some</c><00:22:59.140><c> people</c><00:22:59.380><c> are</c><00:22:59.599><c> quite</c><00:22:59.740><c> into</c><00:23:00.019><c> that</c><00:23:00.279><c> topic,</c>

00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:00.859
aren't<00:23:00.740><c> they?</c>

00:23:00.940 --> 00:23:03.880
And<00:23:01.079><c> some</c><00:23:01.259><c> people</c><00:23:01.559><c> think</c><00:23:01.799><c> it's</c><00:23:02.460><c> contrived.</c>

00:23:05.579 --> 00:23:09.680
And<00:23:06.259><c> I</c><00:23:06.940><c> suppose</c><00:23:07.220><c> I'm</c><00:23:07.539><c> somewhere</c><00:23:07.799><c> in</c><00:23:08.880><c> between</c><00:23:09.200><c> the</c><00:23:09.500><c> two.</c>

00:23:10.019 --> 00:23:16.420
Sometimes<00:23:10.579><c> I</c><00:23:11.079><c> hear</c><00:23:11.480><c> examples</c><00:23:12.119><c> of</c><00:23:13.119><c> supposed</c><00:23:13.779><c> or</c><00:23:15.960><c> alleged</c>

00:23:16.420 --> 00:23:17.579
numerical<00:23:17.140><c> patterns.</c>

00:23:18.019 --> 00:23:20.980
And<00:23:18.359><c> I</c><00:23:18.440><c> do</c><00:23:18.720><c> find</c><00:23:19.019><c> it</c><00:23:19.460><c> contrived</c><00:23:19.960><c> and</c><00:23:20.160><c> far</c><00:23:20.380><c>-fetched.</c>

00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:25.400
But<00:23:21.859><c> there</c><00:23:22.039><c> are</c><00:23:22.119><c> other</c><00:23:22.259><c> cases</c><00:23:22.559><c> that</c><00:23:22.759><c> I</c><00:23:22.839><c> think</c><00:23:23.180><c> are</c><00:23:23.720><c> just</c><00:23:23.900><c> amazing</c><00:23:24.259><c> and</c><00:23:24.500><c> wonderful.</c>

00:23:26.619 --> 00:23:32.819
And<00:23:27.299><c> there's</c><00:23:27.980><c> no</c><00:23:28.180><c> proof</c><00:23:28.460><c> either</c><00:23:28.799><c> way,</c><00:23:29.119><c> is</c><00:23:29.279><c> there,</c><00:23:31.119><c> in</c><00:23:31.799><c> this</c><00:23:32.039><c> stage</c><00:23:32.259><c> of</c><00:23:32.519><c> life.</c>

00:23:32.819 --> 00:23:35.339
And<00:23:33.220><c> so,</c><00:23:33.559><c> you</c><00:23:33.680><c> know,</c><00:23:33.859><c> we</c><00:23:34.180><c> take</c><00:23:34.420><c> a</c><00:23:34.559><c> look</c><00:23:34.640><c> at</c><00:23:34.799><c> the</c><00:23:34.960><c> evidence</c><00:23:35.180><c> and</c>

00:23:35.339 --> 00:23:36.700
we<00:23:35.539><c> take</c><00:23:35.779><c> our</c><00:23:35.960><c> view.</c>

00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:38.380
Let<00:23:37.359><c> me</c><00:23:37.460><c> just</c><00:23:37.700><c> share</c><00:23:37.819><c> these</c><00:23:38.019><c> with</c><00:23:38.220><c> you.</c>

00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:40.220
And,<00:23:38.640><c> you</c><00:23:38.819><c> know,</c><00:23:38.900><c> I'll</c><00:23:39.019><c> just</c><00:23:39.119><c> put</c><00:23:39.240><c> these</c><00:23:39.460><c> out</c><00:23:39.680><c> there</c><00:23:39.859><c> on</c><00:23:40.019><c> the</c>

table<00:23:40.539><c> and,</c><00:23:41.059><c> you</c><00:23:41.240><c> know,</c>

00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:44.839
they're<00:23:41.559><c> interesting</c><00:23:42.059><c> and</c><00:23:42.299><c> you</c><00:23:42.480><c> can</c><00:23:42.819><c> sort</c><00:23:43.059><c> of</c><00:23:43.420><c> take</c><00:23:44.140><c> them</c><00:23:44.400><c> or</c>

00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:45.380
leave<00:23:45.119><c> them.</c>

00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.900
The<00:23:45.920><c> numerical</c><00:23:46.279><c> value</c><00:23:46.700><c> of</c><00:23:46.859><c> the</c><00:23:47.000><c> word</c><00:23:47.160><c> vanity</c><00:23:47.619><c> is</c><00:23:48.180><c> 37.</c>

00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:51.839
Guess<00:23:49.380><c> how</c><00:23:49.579><c> many</c><00:23:49.740><c> times</c><00:23:49.980><c> it</c><00:23:50.220><c> occurs</c><00:23:50.460><c> in</c><00:23:50.680><c> Ecclesiastes?</c>

00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:54.319
Don't<00:23:52.720><c> need</c><00:23:52.819><c> me</c><00:23:52.980><c> to</c><00:23:53.200><c> tell</c><00:23:53.319><c> you.</c>

00:23:54.420 --> 00:24:01.339
Well,<00:23:56.380><c> there</c><00:23:56.819><c> are</c><00:23:57.039><c> a</c><00:23:57.119><c> couple</c><00:23:57.279><c> of</c><00:23:57.500><c> other</c><00:23:58.119><c> occurrences</c><00:23:58.819><c> actually</c><00:23:59.680><c> as</c><00:24:00.180><c> well,</c>

00:24:04.539 --> 00:24:07.880
which<00:24:05.140><c> I</c><00:24:05.740><c> thought</c><00:24:06.000><c> I</c><00:24:06.180><c> had</c><00:24:06.359><c> written</c><00:24:06.559><c> down</c><00:24:06.980><c> and</c><00:24:07.140><c> now</c><00:24:07.380><c> I</c><00:24:07.500><c> can't</c>

00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:09.740
see<00:24:08.039><c> them.</c>

00:24:14.980 --> 00:24:16.779
I've<00:24:15.480><c> got</c><00:24:15.559><c> them</c><00:24:15.700><c> written</c><00:24:15.799><c> down</c><00:24:15.980><c> somewhere.</c>

00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:21.299
There<00:24:17.920><c> are</c><00:24:18.140><c> a</c><00:24:18.240><c> couple</c><00:24:18.380><c> of</c><00:24:18.539><c> other</c><00:24:18.720><c> occurrences</c><00:24:19.220><c> as</c><00:24:19.599><c> well</c><00:24:20.259><c> that,</c>

00:24:21.299 --> 00:24:21.480
you<00:24:21.420><c> know,</c>

00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:24.579
there's<00:24:22.400><c> textual</c><00:24:22.940><c> debate</c><00:24:23.319><c> about</c><00:24:23.720><c> between</c><00:24:24.180><c> scholars.</c>

00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:28.420
And<00:24:25.000><c> it's</c><00:24:25.279><c> generally</c><00:24:25.539><c> accepted</c><00:24:26.039><c> that</c><00:24:26.299><c> they're</c><00:24:26.619><c> not</c><00:24:27.180><c> authentic</c><00:24:27.759><c> to</c><00:24:27.980><c> the</c><00:24:28.160><c> text.</c>

00:24:28.460 --> 00:24:30.220
And<00:24:28.599><c> that's</c><00:24:28.799><c> how</c><00:24:28.880><c> you</c><00:24:29.000><c> get</c><00:24:29.180><c> to</c><00:24:29.319><c> the</c><00:24:29.460><c> 37.</c>

00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.980
But<00:24:30.480><c> someone</c><00:24:30.880><c> could</c><00:24:31.160><c> say,</c><00:24:31.460><c> actually,</c><00:24:31.779><c> I</c><00:24:31.960><c> think</c><00:24:32.140><c> there</c><00:24:32.319><c> are</c><00:24:32.500><c> 39</c><00:24:32.980><c> occurrences.</c>

00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:37.539
So,<00:24:34.140><c> you</c><00:24:34.259><c> know,</c><00:24:34.480><c> it's</c><00:24:35.480><c> one</c><00:24:35.660><c> of</c><00:24:35.759><c> those</c><00:24:36.099><c> things</c><00:24:36.960><c> where</c><00:24:37.259><c> you</c><00:24:37.400><c> have</c>

00:24:37.539 --> 00:24:38.119
to<00:24:37.720><c> take</c><00:24:37.819><c> the</c><00:24:38.000><c> view</c>

00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:40.559
and<00:24:38.259><c> then</c><00:24:38.420><c> you</c><00:24:38.579><c> say</c><00:24:38.680><c> to</c><00:24:38.839><c> yourself,</c><00:24:39.380><c> well,</c><00:24:39.500><c> is</c><00:24:39.740><c> it</c><00:24:39.940><c> worth</c><00:24:40.119><c> my</c>

00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:42.039
time<00:24:41.099><c> spending</c><00:24:41.640><c> hours</c>

00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:46.920
and<00:24:42.200><c> hours</c><00:24:42.759><c> researching,</c><00:24:43.880><c> you</c><00:24:44.079><c> know,</c><00:24:44.720><c> the</c><00:24:44.839><c> textual,</c><00:24:46.579><c> those</c>

00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:48.119
textually<00:24:47.380><c> doubtful</c><00:24:47.759><c> cases</c>

00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:50.019
and<00:24:48.339><c> coming</c><00:24:48.519><c> to</c><00:24:48.720><c> a</c><00:24:48.920><c> definitive</c><00:24:49.240><c> view</c><00:24:49.500><c> on</c><00:24:49.779><c> this.</c>

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:53.259
And,<00:24:50.480><c> you</c><00:24:51.019><c> know,</c><00:24:51.059><c> that's</c><00:24:51.339><c> an</c><00:24:51.460><c> example</c><00:24:51.779><c> for</c><00:24:52.000><c> me</c><00:24:52.180><c> where</c><00:24:52.339><c> I</c><00:24:52.460><c> think,</c><00:24:52.619><c> well,</c>

00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:55.980
there's<00:24:54.440><c> probably</c><00:24:54.619><c> more</c><00:24:54.900><c> profitable</c><00:24:55.299><c> study</c><00:24:55.519><c> to</c><00:24:55.720><c> be</c><00:24:55.839><c> done</c>

00:24:55.980 --> 00:24:57.200
than<00:24:56.200><c> that.</c>

00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:01.759
But,<00:24:57.720><c> you</c><00:24:57.920><c> know,</c><00:24:59.480><c> let's</c><00:25:00.319><c> just</c><00:25:00.599><c> pursue</c><00:25:00.839><c> this</c><00:25:01.140><c> a</c><00:25:01.240><c> little</c><00:25:01.480><c> bit</c>

longer<00:25:02.160><c> though.</c>

00:25:04.579 --> 00:25:08.440
So<00:25:05.140><c> vanity</c><00:25:05.440><c> of</c><00:25:05.700><c> vanities,</c><00:25:06.720><c> all</c><00:25:06.980><c> is</c><00:25:07.339><c> vanity.</c>

00:25:08.779 --> 00:25:11.859
Of<00:25:09.039><c> course,</c><00:25:10.039><c> the</c><00:25:10.099><c> word</c><00:25:10.299><c> vanity</c><00:25:10.640><c> there</c><00:25:10.980><c> occurs</c><00:25:11.180><c> three</c><00:25:11.480><c> times,</c>

00:25:14.220 --> 00:25:18.700
If<00:25:14.440><c> you</c><00:25:14.619><c> add</c><00:25:14.720><c> that</c><00:25:14.980><c> together,</c><00:25:15.359><c> you</c><00:25:15.480><c> get</c><00:25:15.660><c> 111,</c><00:25:16.980><c> three</c><00:25:17.539><c> 37s.</c>

00:25:18.700 --> 00:25:24.019
Take<00:25:19.359><c> 111</c><00:25:20.180><c> verses</c><00:25:20.660><c> into</c><00:25:21.059><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:25:22.039><c> and</c><00:25:22.420><c> you</c><00:25:22.559><c> get</c><00:25:22.720><c> the</c><00:25:22.920><c> precise</c><00:25:23.359><c> midpoint</c><00:25:23.859><c> of</c>

the<00:25:24.180><c> book,</c>

00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:45.200
Better<00:25:43.099><c> is</c><00:25:43.319><c> the</c><00:25:43.500><c> sight</c><00:25:43.640><c> of</c><00:25:43.839><c> the</c><00:25:44.019><c> eyes</c><00:25:44.380><c> than</c><00:25:44.579><c> the</c><00:25:44.779><c> wandering</c><00:25:45.000><c> of</c>

00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:45.779
the<00:25:45.440><c> desire.</c>

00:25:45.779 --> 00:25:49.299
This<00:25:46.480><c> also</c><00:25:46.859><c> is</c><00:25:47.119><c> vanity</c><00:25:47.500><c> and</c><00:25:47.720><c> vexation</c><00:25:48.220><c> of</c><00:25:48.460><c> spirit.</c>

00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:51.779
So<00:25:50.180><c> that's</c><00:25:50.440><c> a</c><00:25:50.539><c> kind</c><00:25:50.640><c> of</c><00:25:50.759><c> an</c><00:25:50.900><c> appropriate</c><00:25:51.200><c> thing,</c><00:25:51.700><c> isn't</c><00:25:51.700><c> it?</c>

00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:53.579
This<00:25:52.000><c> also</c><00:25:52.299><c> is</c><00:25:52.480><c> vanity</c><00:25:52.759><c> and</c><00:25:52.900><c> vexation</c><00:25:53.299><c> of</c><00:25:53.460><c> spirit.</c>

00:25:53.700 --> 00:25:55.519
That's<00:25:53.920><c> quite</c><00:25:54.039><c> an</c><00:25:54.240><c> appropriate</c><00:25:54.519><c> thing</c><00:25:54.740><c> as</c><00:25:54.920><c> the</c><00:25:55.039><c> midpoint</c><00:25:55.359><c> of</c>

00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:55.900
the<00:25:55.660><c> book.</c>

00:25:56.259 --> 00:25:58.720
Now<00:25:56.460><c> it</c><00:25:56.559><c> turns</c><00:25:56.799><c> out,</c><00:25:57.339><c> if</c><00:25:57.440><c> you</c><00:25:57.619><c> count</c><00:25:57.819><c> the</c><00:25:57.960><c> number</c><00:25:58.160><c> of</c><00:25:58.380><c> words</c>

00:25:58.720 --> 00:25:59.839
before<00:25:59.079><c> that</c><00:25:59.319><c> expression,</c>

00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:01.880
this<00:26:00.299><c> also</c><00:26:00.539><c> is</c><00:26:00.680><c> vanity</c><00:26:00.920><c> and</c><00:26:01.039><c> vexation</c><00:26:01.420><c> of</c><00:26:01.619><c> spirit,</c>

00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:04.279
and<00:26:02.299><c> you</c><00:26:02.400><c> count</c><00:26:02.559><c> the</c><00:26:02.660><c> number</c><00:26:02.839><c> of</c><00:26:02.980><c> words</c><00:26:03.220><c> after</c><00:26:03.579><c> that</c><00:26:03.839><c> expression,</c>

00:26:04.299 --> 00:26:08.779
to<00:26:04.460><c> the</c><00:26:04.559><c> end</c><00:26:04.680><c> of</c><00:26:04.839><c> the</c><00:26:04.980><c> book,</c><00:26:05.220><c> you</c><00:26:06.200><c> get</c><00:26:07.339><c> exactly</c><00:26:07.660><c> the</c><00:26:07.799><c> same</c><00:26:07.940><c> number.</c>

00:26:08.819 --> 00:26:11.140
So<00:26:09.039><c> this</c><00:26:09.180><c> is</c><00:26:09.299><c> the</c><00:26:09.420><c> midpoint</c><00:26:09.740><c> of</c><00:26:09.920><c> the</c><00:26:10.019><c> book</c><00:26:10.160><c> in</c><00:26:10.279><c> terms</c><00:26:10.539><c> of</c><00:26:10.740><c> verses.</c>

00:26:11.380 --> 00:26:14.240
It's<00:26:11.519><c> also</c><00:26:11.700><c> the</c><00:26:11.859><c> midpoint</c><00:26:12.200><c> of</c><00:26:12.380><c> the</c><00:26:12.519><c> book</c><00:26:12.680><c> in</c><00:26:12.839><c> terms</c><00:26:13.119><c> of</c><00:26:13.339><c> words.</c>

00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:17.720
I<00:26:15.720><c> think</c><00:26:15.960><c> that's</c><00:26:16.119><c> pretty</c><00:26:16.319><c> interesting.</c>

00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:25.339
What<00:26:24.799><c> else?</c>

00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:28.380
Well,<00:26:26.299><c> if</c><00:26:26.440><c> you</c><00:26:26.700><c> take,</c><00:26:26.980><c> let's</c><00:26:27.059><c> take</c><00:26:27.259><c> our</c><00:26:27.539><c> frame</c><00:26:27.799><c> expression,</c>

00:26:31.460 --> 00:26:36.400

00:26:36.779 --> 00:26:41.319
If<00:26:37.059><c> you</c><00:26:37.380><c> count</c><00:26:37.559><c> 216</c><00:26:38.460><c> verses</c><00:26:38.740><c> from</c><00:26:39.000><c> the</c><00:26:39.160><c> beginning</c><00:26:39.359><c> of</c><00:26:39.539><c> the</c><00:26:39.700><c> book,</c><00:26:40.579><c> guess</c><00:26:40.759><c> where</c><00:26:41.059><c> you</c>

end<00:26:41.660><c> up?</c>

00:26:42.019 --> 00:26:45.680
You<00:26:42.400><c> end</c><00:26:42.660><c> up</c><00:26:43.059><c> with</c><00:26:43.319><c> vanity</c><00:26:43.619><c> of</c><00:26:43.799><c> vanities,</c><00:26:44.319><c> said</c><00:26:44.380><c> the</c><00:26:44.579><c> preacher,</c><00:26:44.980><c> all</c><00:26:45.059><c> is</c><00:26:45.240><c> vanity.</c>

00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:50.119
You<00:26:46.099><c> get</c><00:26:46.279><c> to</c><00:26:46.420><c> the</c><00:26:46.619><c> concluding</c><00:26:47.000><c> frame</c><00:26:47.279><c> in</c><00:26:47.440><c> 12</c><00:26:47.720><c> verse</c><00:26:48.000><c> 8,</c><00:26:49.440><c> which</c>

00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:57.279
So<00:26:51.900><c> I'm</c><00:26:51.940><c> not</c><00:26:52.299><c> going</c><00:26:52.660><c> anywhere</c><00:26:53.019><c> with</c><00:26:53.259><c> this,</c><00:26:53.619><c> I</c><00:26:53.660><c> just,</c><00:26:53.980><c> you</c><00:26:54.180><c> know,</c><00:26:54.660><c> this</c>

both<00:28:03.500><c> ends.</c>

00:28:03.940 --> 00:28:07.259
So<00:28:04.460><c> we're</c><00:28:04.720><c> going</c><00:28:04.740><c> to</c><00:28:04.799><c> go</c><00:28:04.960><c> just</c><00:28:05.279><c> inside</c><00:28:05.660><c> the</c><00:28:05.920><c> frame</c><00:28:06.160><c> at</c><00:28:06.460><c> one</c><00:28:06.640><c> verse</c><00:28:06.859><c> two</c>

00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:12.680

00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:15.220
We're<00:28:12.880><c> going</c><00:28:12.940><c> to</c><00:28:13.119><c> step</c><00:28:13.339><c> in</c><00:28:13.579><c> from</c><00:28:13.779><c> the</c><00:28:14.059><c> end</c><00:28:14.359><c> frame</c><00:28:14.640><c> in</c><00:28:14.839><c> 12</c><00:28:15.000><c> verse</c>

to<00:28:17.000><c> seven.</c>

00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:19.720
And<00:28:17.720><c> we'll</c><00:28:17.900><c> probably</c><00:28:18.059><c> do</c><00:28:18.220><c> the</c><00:28:18.460><c> first</c><00:28:18.720><c> part,</c><00:28:19.039><c> the</c><00:28:19.220><c> chapter</c><00:28:19.460><c> one</c>

00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:21.119
part<00:28:19.960><c> today,</c><00:28:20.299><c> and</c><00:28:20.440><c> we'll</c><00:28:20.619><c> do</c><00:28:20.759><c> the</c><00:28:20.900><c> chapter</c>

00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:27.140
12<00:28:21.380><c> part</c><00:28:21.660><c> tomorrow,</c><00:28:22.460><c> I</c><00:28:22.940><c> think,</c><00:28:23.420><c> if</c><00:28:23.839><c> the</c><00:28:23.960><c> time</c><00:28:24.299><c> goes</c><00:28:24.660><c> as</c><00:28:25.700><c> I</c><00:28:26.339><c> as</c>

00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:28.519
my<00:28:27.319><c> best</c><00:28:27.619><c> guess.</c>

00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:35.119
So<00:28:30.039><c> let's</c><00:28:30.880><c> then</c><00:28:31.339><c> now,</c><00:28:32.380><c> for</c><00:28:33.299><c> probably</c><00:28:34.299><c> the</c><00:28:34.480><c> remainder</c><00:28:34.740><c> of</c><00:28:34.940><c> our</c>

00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:37.880
time,<00:28:35.440><c> look</c><00:28:35.700><c> at</c><00:28:36.500><c> the</c><00:28:36.720><c> passage</c><00:28:37.099><c> that</c><00:28:37.400><c> begins</c>

00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.559
in<00:28:38.119><c> chapter</c><00:28:38.420><c> one</c><00:28:39.039><c> and</c><00:28:39.579><c> verse</c><00:28:39.940><c> three.</c>

00:28:52.859 --> 00:28:59.839
What<00:28:53.619><c> profit,</c><00:28:54.380><c> athaman,</c><00:28:56.019><c> of</c><00:28:56.240><c> all</c><00:28:56.500><c> his</c><00:28:56.740><c> labour,</c><00:28:57.660><c> which</c><00:28:57.819><c> he</c><00:28:58.079><c> taketh</c><00:28:58.559><c> under</c><00:28:59.259><c> the</c><00:28:59.559><c> sun?</c>

00:29:00.339 --> 00:29:03.619
So<00:29:00.720><c> that's</c><00:29:01.180><c> the</c><00:29:01.440><c> opening</c><00:29:02.119><c> question</c><00:29:03.000><c> then.</c>

00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:06.980
What<00:29:04.299><c> profit</c><00:29:04.900><c> is</c><00:29:06.079><c> there?</c>

00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:09.000
Now,<00:29:07.420><c> profit,</c><00:29:08.000><c> what,</c><00:29:08.099><c> you</c><00:29:08.220><c> know,</c><00:29:08.279><c> what</c><00:29:08.460><c> is</c><00:29:08.700><c> profit?</c>

00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:12.079
Well,<00:29:09.599><c> I'm</c><00:29:10.720><c> sure</c><00:29:10.799><c> there</c><00:29:11.039><c> are</c><00:29:11.039><c> some</c><00:29:11.240><c> accountants</c><00:29:11.700><c> in</c><00:29:11.920><c> here.</c>

00:29:12.220 --> 00:29:17.019
We<00:29:12.440><c> did</c><00:29:12.680><c> pretty</c><00:29:13.000><c> well</c><00:29:13.220><c> with</c><00:29:14.019><c> Brother</c><00:29:14.279><c> Simon's</c><00:29:14.819><c> financial</c><00:29:15.079><c> stuff</c><00:29:15.380><c> last</c><00:29:15.660><c> night,</c><00:29:15.859><c> didn't</c><00:29:16.000><c> we?</c>

00:29:17.299 --> 00:29:21.019
So,<00:29:18.740><c> you</c><00:29:18.819><c> know,</c><00:29:18.980><c> obviously</c><00:29:19.420><c> you</c><00:29:19.740><c> have</c><00:29:19.960><c> your</c><00:29:20.259><c> sales,</c><00:29:20.640><c> don't</c><00:29:20.880><c> you?</c>

00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:22.720
And<00:29:21.119><c> then</c><00:29:21.259><c> you</c><00:29:21.380><c> have</c><00:29:21.500><c> your</c><00:29:21.779><c> costs.</c>

00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:25.259
And<00:29:22.960><c> what's</c><00:29:23.440><c> left</c><00:29:23.619><c> over</c><00:29:23.900><c> at</c><00:29:24.059><c> the</c><00:29:24.259><c> end</c><00:29:24.559><c> is</c><00:29:24.859><c> the</c><00:29:24.980><c> profit.</c>

00:29:25.299 --> 00:29:26.259
That's<00:29:25.599><c> what's</c><00:29:25.859><c> left</c><00:29:26.079><c> over.</c>

00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:28.579
And<00:29:26.400><c> that's</c><00:29:26.519><c> what</c><00:29:26.640><c> you</c><00:29:26.880><c> take</c><00:29:27.119><c> away</c><00:29:27.380><c> with</c><00:29:27.619><c> you,</c><00:29:28.160><c> isn't</c><00:29:28.299><c> it?</c>

00:29:28.940 --> 00:29:32.019
Well,<00:29:29.079><c> what</c><00:29:29.240><c> is</c><00:29:29.400><c> it</c><00:29:29.500><c> that</c><00:29:29.640><c> we</c><00:29:29.819><c> take</c><00:29:30.099><c> away</c><00:29:30.339><c> with</c><00:29:30.500><c> us</c><00:29:30.660><c> from</c><00:29:30.859><c> this</c><00:29:31.079><c> life?</c>

00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:34.579
Well,<00:29:32.980><c> it's</c><00:29:33.119><c> not</c><00:29:33.279><c> a</c><00:29:33.380><c> lot,</c><00:29:33.559><c> is</c><00:29:33.660><c> it?</c>

00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:35.539
It's<00:29:34.920><c> not</c><00:29:35.099><c> a</c><00:29:35.259><c> lot.</c>

00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:38.299
And<00:29:35.900><c> we</c><00:29:36.059><c> are</c><00:29:36.299><c> certain</c><00:29:36.480><c> that</c><00:29:36.700><c> we</c><00:29:36.880><c> can</c><00:29:37.220><c> carry</c><00:29:37.500><c> nothing</c><00:29:37.799><c> with</c><00:29:38.059><c> us.</c>

00:29:38.299 --> 00:29:40.440
That's<00:29:38.460><c> a</c><00:29:38.579><c> scriptural</c><00:29:39.039><c> quote,</c><00:29:39.339><c> isn't</c><00:29:39.599><c> it,</c><00:29:39.799><c> that</c><00:29:40.079><c> Paul,</c><00:29:40.279><c> we</c>

00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:42.400
brought<00:29:40.640><c> nothing</c><00:29:40.880><c> into</c><00:29:41.160><c> this</c><00:29:41.480><c> world.</c>

00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:44.640
And<00:29:42.539><c> it's</c><00:29:42.819><c> certain</c><00:29:42.920><c> that</c><00:29:43.119><c> we</c><00:29:43.259><c> won't</c><00:29:43.339><c> be</c><00:29:43.519><c> taking</c><00:29:43.680><c> anything</c><00:29:43.980><c> away</c><00:29:44.319><c> with</c><00:29:44.500><c> us</c>

00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:45.319
when<00:29:44.779><c> we</c><00:29:45.059><c> go,</c>

00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:48.140
for<00:29:45.740><c> all</c><00:29:45.960><c> the</c><00:29:46.119><c> pharaoh's</c><00:29:46.480><c> attempts</c><00:29:46.700><c> to</c><00:29:46.940><c> do</c><00:29:47.160><c> so.</c>

00:29:49.619 --> 00:29:51.400
So<00:29:50.039><c> what</c><00:29:50.259><c> will</c><00:29:50.460><c> there</c><00:29:50.640><c> be</c><00:29:50.799><c> left</c><00:29:51.099><c> over?</c>

00:29:51.619 --> 00:29:53.039
What<00:29:51.880><c> profit</c><00:29:52.240><c> will</c><00:29:52.519><c> there</c><00:29:52.740><c> be?</c>

00:29:53.099 --> 00:29:56.140
And<00:29:53.240><c> that</c><00:29:53.539><c> is</c><00:29:53.700><c> literally</c><00:29:54.119><c> what</c><00:29:55.119><c> this</c><00:29:55.359><c> Hebrew</c><00:29:55.579><c> word</c><00:29:55.819><c> means.</c>

00:29:56.259 --> 00:29:58.980
It<00:29:56.259><c> means</c><00:29:56.519><c> that</c><00:29:56.940><c> which</c><00:29:57.119><c> goes</c><00:29:57.480><c> beyond,</c><00:29:58.079><c> that</c><00:29:58.240><c> which</c><00:29:58.420><c> is</c><00:29:58.680><c> left</c>

00:29:58.980 --> 00:30:01.700
over,<00:29:59.500><c> that</c><00:29:59.660><c> which</c><00:29:59.900><c> extends</c><00:30:00.519><c> beyond.</c>

00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:04.380
Nothing.

00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:07.980
But<00:30:07.160><c> it's</c><00:30:07.400><c> a</c><00:30:07.440><c> rhetorical</c><00:30:07.720><c> question.</c>

00:30:07.980 --> 00:30:09.140
He<00:30:08.119><c> actually</c><00:30:08.519><c> doesn't</c><00:30:08.720><c> answer</c><00:30:09.019><c> that.</c>

00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:11.039
He<00:30:09.240><c> just</c><00:30:09.440><c> asked</c><00:30:09.619><c> the</c><00:30:09.799><c> question</c><00:30:10.039><c> at</c><00:30:10.200><c> this</c><00:30:10.400><c> point,</c><00:30:10.680><c> doesn't</c><00:30:10.900><c> he?</c>

00:30:11.259 --> 00:30:16.900
What<00:30:11.519><c> profit</c><00:30:11.859><c> hath</c><00:30:12.019><c> a</c><00:30:12.180><c> man</c><00:30:12.299><c> of</c><00:30:12.480><c> all</c><00:30:12.619><c> his</c><00:30:12.819><c> labor</c><00:30:13.339><c> which</c><00:30:13.799><c> he</c><00:30:14.119><c> taketh</c><00:30:14.779><c> under</c><00:30:15.599><c> the</c><00:30:16.140><c> sun?</c>

00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:23.980
So<00:30:19.579><c> he's</c><00:30:20.019><c> going</c><00:30:20.180><c> to</c><00:30:20.400><c> examine</c><00:30:20.960><c> then</c><00:30:21.799><c> the</c><00:30:23.079><c> various</c><00:30:23.339><c> activities</c>

00:30:23.980 --> 00:30:26.160
that<00:30:24.240><c> men</c><00:30:24.440><c> and</c><00:30:24.599><c> women</c><00:30:24.759><c> get</c><00:30:25.000><c> up</c><00:30:25.259><c> to</c><00:30:25.339><c> in</c><00:30:25.539><c> their</c><00:30:25.799><c> lives.</c>

00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.680
And<00:30:26.359><c> he's</c><00:30:26.559><c> going</c><00:30:26.680><c> to</c><00:30:26.920><c> show</c><00:30:27.359><c> that</c><00:30:27.799><c> for</c><00:30:28.059><c> each</c><00:30:28.279><c> of</c><00:30:28.480><c> them,</c><00:30:28.740><c> no</c><00:30:28.839><c> matter</c><00:30:29.079><c> where</c><00:30:29.339><c> we</c>

00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:31.819
turn,<00:30:30.359><c> there</c><00:30:30.440><c> is</c><00:30:30.640><c> nothing</c><00:30:30.960><c> that</c><00:30:31.200><c> goes</c><00:30:31.500><c> beyond.</c>

00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:33.799
There<00:30:32.059><c> is</c><00:30:32.279><c> nothing</c><00:30:32.819><c> left</c><00:30:33.359><c> over.</c>

00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:38.819
Again,<00:30:34.740><c> looked</c><00:30:34.940><c> at</c><00:30:35.140><c> in</c><00:30:35.279><c> the</c><00:30:35.500><c> context</c><00:30:36.119><c> of</c><00:30:36.779><c> life</c><00:30:37.240><c> here</c><00:30:37.799><c> and</c><00:30:38.039><c> now.</c>

00:30:40.700 --> 00:30:47.140
So<00:30:41.400><c> what</c><00:30:41.819><c> he</c><00:30:42.059><c> does</c><00:30:42.480><c> is</c><00:30:42.779><c> to</c><00:30:43.019><c> make</c><00:30:43.440><c> a</c><00:30:44.119><c> contrast</c><00:30:44.440><c> now</c><00:30:44.799><c> or</c><00:30:45.039><c> a</c><00:30:45.279><c> comparison</c><00:30:45.779><c> between</c><00:30:46.559><c> man's</c>

00:30:47.140 --> 00:30:52.579
experience<00:30:47.839><c> and</c><00:30:48.619><c> the</c><00:30:48.920><c> various</c><00:30:49.400><c> processes</c><00:30:50.079><c> and</c><00:30:50.500><c> cycles</c><00:30:51.039><c> of</c><00:30:51.680><c> nature.</c>

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:55.440
One<00:30:53.079><c> generation</c><00:30:53.539><c> passeth</c><00:30:54.000><c> away</c><00:30:54.339><c> and</c><00:30:54.559><c> another</c><00:30:54.779><c> generation</c>

00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:58.599
cometh,<00:30:56.180><c> but</c><00:30:56.400><c> the</c><00:30:56.700><c> earth</c><00:30:57.440><c> abideth</c><00:30:58.200><c> forever.</c>

00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:00.759
So<00:30:58.859><c> this</c><00:30:59.319><c> is</c><00:30:59.539><c> a</c><00:30:59.660><c> contrast</c><00:31:00.059><c> then,</c><00:31:00.259><c> isn't</c><00:31:00.460><c> it?</c>

00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:04.819
There's<00:31:01.140><c> a</c><00:31:01.240><c> contrast</c><00:31:01.480><c> between</c><00:31:01.839><c> the</c><00:31:02.160><c> earth,</c><00:31:02.740><c> which</c><00:31:02.839><c> is</c><00:31:03.079><c> just</c><00:31:03.539><c> there.</c>

00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:10.599
And<00:31:06.680><c> it</c><00:31:07.240><c> sits</c><00:31:07.579><c> there</c><00:31:08.140><c> and</c><00:31:08.500><c> it</c><00:31:08.740><c> has</c><00:31:09.000><c> sat</c><00:31:09.259><c> there.</c>

00:31:10.900 --> 00:31:15.759
And<00:31:10.900><c> that's</c><00:31:13.779><c> sort</c><00:31:14.079><c> of</c><00:31:14.180><c> the</c><00:31:14.319><c> best</c><00:31:14.599><c> approximation</c><00:31:15.160><c> we</c><00:31:15.359><c> can</c><00:31:15.579><c> get</c>

00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:18.420
for<00:31:16.019><c> eternity,</c><00:31:16.619><c> isn't</c><00:31:16.799><c> it?</c>

00:31:18.500 --> 00:31:21.660
Until<00:31:18.980><c> we</c><00:31:19.180><c> start</c><00:31:19.400><c> thinking</c><00:31:19.740><c> about</c><00:31:20.119><c> God,</c><00:31:20.819><c> something</c><00:31:21.119><c> that</c><00:31:21.380><c> is</c>

00:31:21.660 --> 00:31:23.920
permanent,<00:31:22.259><c> something</c><00:31:22.440><c> that</c><00:31:22.640><c> is</c><00:31:22.900><c> definite,</c><00:31:23.400><c> something</c><00:31:23.700><c> that</c>

00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:25.900
is<00:31:24.220><c> solid,</c><00:31:24.799><c> that's</c><00:31:24.940><c> not</c><00:31:25.180><c> going</c><00:31:25.460><c> anywhere.</c>

00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:26.880
It's<00:31:26.380><c> just</c><00:31:26.640><c> there.</c>

00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:31.680
In<00:31:27.119><c> contrast</c><00:31:27.539><c> to</c><00:31:27.880><c> the</c><00:31:28.180><c> thereness</c><00:31:28.880><c> of</c><00:31:29.319><c> the</c><00:31:29.500><c> earth,</c><00:31:30.440><c> as</c><00:31:31.299><c> far</c><00:31:31.519><c> as</c>

00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:34.619
going<00:31:33.519><c> to</c><00:31:33.619><c> be</c><00:31:33.799><c> there.</c>

00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:37.380
We're<00:31:35.359><c> just</c><00:31:35.599><c> passing</c><00:31:35.920><c> along,</c><00:31:36.380><c> aren't</c><00:31:36.539><c> we?</c>

00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:40.319
One<00:31:37.700><c> generation</c><00:31:38.200><c> passeth,</c><00:31:39.039><c> another</c><00:31:39.319><c> generation</c><00:31:39.940><c> goeth.</c>

00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:42.480
It's<00:31:40.799><c> like</c><00:31:41.019><c> lemmings,</c><00:31:41.539><c> isn't</c><00:31:41.700><c> it?</c>

00:31:42.900 --> 00:31:46.619
Just<00:31:43.339><c> sort</c><00:31:43.519><c> of</c><00:31:44.000><c> going</c><00:31:44.299><c> by</c><00:31:44.960><c> and</c><00:31:45.519><c> we're</c><00:31:45.720><c> just</c><00:31:45.960><c> watching</c><00:31:46.319><c> them.</c>

00:31:46.819 --> 00:31:49.180
One<00:31:47.059><c> of</c><00:31:47.220><c> them's</c><00:31:47.519><c> born</c><00:31:47.819><c> and</c><00:31:48.079><c> it</c><00:31:48.259><c> comes</c><00:31:48.480><c> up.</c>

00:31:49.259 --> 00:31:50.779
I<00:31:49.460><c> remember</c><00:31:49.680><c> our</c><00:31:49.819><c> brother</c><00:31:50.059><c> Alfred</c><00:31:50.380><c> Norris.</c>

00:31:50.940 --> 00:31:53.539
Has<00:31:51.279><c> brother</c><00:31:51.460><c> Alfred</c><00:31:51.700><c> Norris</c><00:31:51.920><c> ever</c><00:31:52.119><c> spoken</c><00:31:52.359><c> at</c><00:31:52.500><c> this</c><00:31:52.640><c> Bible</c><00:31:52.859><c> school?</c>

00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:54.160
Yeah.

00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:58.740
Well,<00:31:54.640><c> I</c><00:31:54.779><c> remember</c><00:31:55.019><c> him</c><00:31:55.240><c> talking</c><00:31:55.440><c> about</c><00:31:55.599><c> this,</c><00:31:56.059><c> one</c><00:31:56.059><c> of</c><00:31:56.559><c> the</c><00:31:56.880><c> talks</c><00:31:57.140><c> that</c><00:31:57.579><c> I</c><00:31:58.480><c> remember.</c>

00:31:58.819 --> 00:32:00.339
It<00:31:58.839><c> was</c><00:31:58.900><c> just</c><00:31:59.019><c> a</c><00:31:59.019><c> fantastic</c><00:31:59.500><c> talk.</c>

00:32:00.420 --> 00:32:03.359
And<00:32:00.660><c> he</c><00:32:00.900><c> talked</c><00:32:01.119><c> about</c><00:32:01.619><c> a</c><00:32:01.900><c> little</c><00:32:02.119><c> baby</c><00:32:02.440><c> being</c><00:32:02.759><c> born</c><00:32:03.119><c> and</c><00:32:03.299><c> the</c>

00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:08.980
baby<00:32:06.920><c> was</c><00:32:07.799><c> born</c><00:32:08.000><c> and</c><00:32:08.160><c> he</c><00:32:08.220><c> makes</c><00:32:08.339><c> his</c><00:32:08.539><c> first</c><00:32:08.700><c> cry.</c>

00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:11.940
It<00:32:09.559><c> begins</c><00:32:09.700><c> to</c><00:32:10.079><c> crawl</c><00:32:10.339><c> across</c><00:32:10.619><c> the</c><00:32:10.900><c> stage</c><00:32:11.119><c> and</c><00:32:11.240><c> then</c><00:32:11.380><c> it</c><00:32:11.579><c> stands</c><00:32:11.740><c> on</c>

00:32:12.579 --> 00:32:15.859
And<00:32:12.740><c> then</c><00:32:12.859><c> by</c><00:32:13.059><c> the</c><00:32:13.240><c> time</c><00:32:13.440><c> it's</c><00:32:13.819><c> in</c><00:32:13.880><c> its</c><00:32:14.119><c> teens</c><00:32:14.299><c> or</c><00:32:14.480><c> its</c><00:32:14.619><c> twenties,</c><00:32:14.819><c> it's</c><00:32:14.980><c> like,</c><00:32:15.160><c> look</c><00:32:15.279><c> at</c><00:32:15.519><c> me.</c>

00:32:15.900 --> 00:32:16.660
Aren't<00:32:16.099><c> I</c><00:32:16.279><c> great?</c>

00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:21.380
And<00:32:17.319><c> then</c><00:32:18.180><c> he</c><00:32:18.500><c> gets</c><00:32:18.680><c> into</c><00:32:18.940><c> his</c><00:32:19.220><c> thirties</c><00:32:19.460><c> and</c><00:32:19.579><c> it</c><00:32:19.819><c> realises</c><00:32:20.220><c> things</c><00:32:20.500><c> aren't</c><00:32:20.660><c> working</c><00:32:20.980><c> quite</c><00:32:21.220><c> as</c>

well<00:32:21.519><c> as</c><00:32:21.599><c> they</c><00:32:21.799><c> used</c><00:32:22.059><c> to,</c><00:32:22.599><c> which</c><00:32:22.920><c> is</c><00:32:23.480><c> the</c><00:32:23.700><c> stage</c><00:32:23.920><c> I'm</c><00:32:24.140><c> in.</c>

00:32:24.140 --> 00:32:27.019
And<00:32:24.859><c> then</c><00:32:25.019><c> we</c><00:32:25.180><c> get</c><00:32:25.460><c> and</c><00:32:25.619><c> then</c><00:32:25.759><c> we</c><00:32:25.920><c> get</c><00:32:26.000><c> into</c><00:32:26.200><c> our</c><00:32:26.440><c> forties</c><00:32:26.880><c> and</c>

00:32:27.019 --> 00:32:29.619
I<00:32:27.160><c> can</c><00:32:27.299><c> only</c><00:32:27.460><c> imagine</c><00:32:27.900><c> what</c><00:32:28.259><c> happens</c><00:32:28.500><c> then.</c>

00:32:31.980 --> 00:32:36.299
And<00:32:32.500><c> you</c><00:32:33.019><c> know,</c><00:32:33.799><c> and</c><00:32:34.059><c> this</c><00:32:34.880><c> creature</c><00:32:35.299><c> that</c><00:32:35.519><c> began</c><00:32:35.740><c> so</c><00:32:36.059><c> small</c>

00:32:36.299 --> 00:32:41.079
and<00:32:36.480><c> then</c><00:32:36.660><c> became</c><00:32:36.920><c> so</c><00:32:37.240><c> big</c><00:32:37.619><c> now</c><00:32:38.140><c> starts</c><00:32:38.519><c> to</c><00:32:40.039><c> decline</c><00:32:40.440><c> until</c>

00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:42.799

All<00:35:12.960><c> the</c><00:35:13.099><c> rivers</c><00:35:13.239><c> run</c><00:35:13.440><c> into</c><00:35:13.619><c> the</c><00:35:13.900><c> sea,</c><00:35:14.119><c> yet</c><00:35:14.199><c> the</c><00:35:14.440><c> sea</c><00:35:14.579><c> is</c><00:35:14.780><c> not</c>

00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:21.619
There<00:35:18.639><c> they</c><00:35:19.079><c> return</c><00:35:20.079><c> again.</c>

00:35:22.659 --> 00:35:24.380
So<00:35:22.719><c> he</c><00:35:22.800><c> looks</c><00:35:22.880><c> at</c><00:35:23.019><c> these</c><00:35:23.219><c> different</c><00:35:23.559><c> cycles,</c><00:35:24.079><c> doesn't</c><00:35:24.239><c> he?</c>

00:35:24.380 --> 00:35:26.900
He<00:35:24.500><c> looks</c><00:35:24.579><c> at</c><00:35:24.719><c> the</c><00:35:24.900><c> cycle</c><00:35:25.139><c> of</c><00:35:25.320><c> the</c><00:35:25.539><c> sun</c><00:35:25.780><c> and</c><00:35:26.199><c> he</c><00:35:26.320><c> looks</c><00:35:26.519><c> at</c><00:35:26.659><c> the</c>

00:35:30.300 --> 00:35:31.900
And<00:35:30.699><c> there's</c><00:35:30.860><c> all</c><00:35:31.000><c> this</c><00:35:31.179><c> activity</c><00:35:31.579><c> going</c><00:35:31.820><c> on.</c>

00:35:32.019 --> 00:35:33.440
There<00:35:32.059><c> are</c><00:35:32.119><c> all</c><00:35:32.260><c> these</c><00:35:32.460><c> cycles.</c>

00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:35.980
And<00:35:33.699><c> he's</c><00:35:34.119><c> looked</c><00:35:34.340><c> at</c><00:35:34.500><c> the</c><00:35:34.719><c> human</c><00:35:34.980><c> cycle,</c><00:35:35.519><c> hasn't</c><00:35:35.760><c> he?</c>

00:35:36.059 --> 00:35:38.280
Verse<00:35:36.199><c> four,</c><00:35:36.519><c> one</c><00:35:36.659><c> generation</c><00:35:37.139><c> passeth</c><00:35:37.519><c> away,</c><00:35:38.079><c> another</c>

00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:40.000
generation<00:35:38.900><c> cometh.</c>

00:35:40.139 --> 00:35:42.699
And<00:35:40.480><c> you</c><00:35:40.760><c> see</c><00:35:41.199><c> they're</c><00:35:41.920><c> similar,</c><00:35:42.320><c> aren't</c><00:35:42.460><c> they?</c>

00:35:42.780 --> 00:35:45.679
So<00:35:43.000><c> we've</c><00:35:43.219><c> got</c><00:35:43.480><c> we've</c><00:35:43.739><c> got</c><00:35:43.840><c> the</c><00:35:44.079><c> sun</c><00:35:44.320><c> going</c><00:35:44.619><c> round</c><00:35:45.099><c> and</c><00:35:45.380><c> round.</c>

00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:48.179
So<00:35:45.920><c> we're</c><00:35:46.199><c> going</c><00:35:46.260><c> around</c><00:35:46.460><c> the</c><00:35:46.639><c> sun,</c><00:35:46.880><c> but</c><00:35:46.980><c> you</c><00:35:47.079><c> know</c><00:35:47.139><c> what</c><00:35:47.300><c> I</c><00:35:47.460><c> mean.</c>

00:35:48.659 --> 00:35:51.860
And<00:35:48.960><c> then</c><00:35:49.239><c> you've</c><00:35:49.579><c> got</c><00:35:49.739><c> the</c><00:35:50.019><c> wind</c><00:35:50.360><c> blowing</c><00:35:50.739><c> round</c><00:35:51.179><c> and</c><00:35:51.420><c> round</c>

00:35:51.860 --> 00:35:56.039
and<00:35:52.460><c> you've</c><00:35:52.860><c> got</c><00:35:53.139><c> the</c><00:35:53.800><c> water</c><00:35:54.460><c> going</c><00:35:55.000><c> round</c><00:35:55.460><c> and</c><00:35:55.739><c> round.</c>

00:35:56.219 --> 00:35:58.900
It's<00:35:56.340><c> all</c><00:35:56.519><c> very</c><00:35:56.780><c> wonderful</c><00:35:57.139><c> to</c><00:35:57.400><c> see</c><00:35:57.519><c> all</c><00:35:57.719><c> these</c><00:35:57.920><c> cycles</c><00:35:58.380><c> going</c><00:35:58.699><c> on.</c>

00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:02.079
And<00:35:59.219><c> you've</c><00:35:59.460><c> got</c><00:35:59.519><c> the</c><00:35:59.739><c> generations</c><00:36:00.219><c> of</c><00:36:00.519><c> men</c><00:36:00.739><c> going</c><00:36:01.219><c> round</c><00:36:01.639><c> and</c><00:36:01.860><c> round.</c>

00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:03.380
But<00:36:02.239><c> there's</c><00:36:02.440><c> a</c><00:36:02.679><c> difference,</c><00:36:03.039><c> isn't</c><00:36:03.199><c> there?</c>

00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:05.500
And<00:36:03.519><c> this</c><00:36:03.659><c> again</c><00:36:03.860><c> is</c><00:36:04.099><c> Brother</c><00:36:04.320><c> Alfred's</c><00:36:04.780><c> point.</c>

00:36:06.219 --> 00:36:11.599
It's<00:36:06.579><c> the</c><00:36:06.820><c> same</c><00:36:07.099><c> sun</c><00:36:07.679><c> that</c><00:36:08.840><c> goes</c><00:36:09.139><c> round</c><00:36:09.559><c> and</c><00:36:09.820><c> round</c><00:36:10.260><c> and</c><00:36:11.139><c> it's</c>

00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:14.840
the<00:36:11.880><c> same</c><00:36:12.579><c> wind</c><00:36:13.139><c> that</c><00:36:13.599><c> goes</c><00:36:13.840><c> round</c><00:36:14.159><c> and</c><00:36:14.420><c> round.</c>

00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:18.139
And<00:36:15.340><c> it's</c><00:36:15.599><c> the</c><00:36:15.739><c> same</c><00:36:16.019><c> water</c><00:36:16.360><c> that</c><00:36:16.599><c> is</c><00:36:16.920><c> recycled</c><00:36:17.500><c> round</c><00:36:17.920><c> and</c>

00:36:18.139 --> 00:36:18.800
round,<00:36:18.440><c> isn't</c><00:36:18.579><c> it?</c>

00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:23.239
But<00:36:19.360><c> is</c><00:36:19.500><c> it</c><00:36:19.619><c> the</c><00:36:19.780><c> same</c><00:36:19.960><c> generation</c><00:36:20.579><c> that</c><00:36:21.320><c> goes</c><00:36:21.579><c> round</c><00:36:21.880><c> and</c><00:36:22.079><c> round</c><00:36:22.239><c> and</c><00:36:22.420><c> round?</c>

00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:24.039
No,<00:36:23.519><c> it's</c><00:36:23.679><c> not.</c>

00:36:24.460 --> 00:36:26.800
We<00:36:24.579><c> only</c><00:36:24.820><c> make</c><00:36:24.960><c> one</c><00:36:25.260><c> trip</c><00:36:25.400><c> across</c><00:36:25.679><c> that</c><00:36:25.940><c> stage,</c><00:36:26.179><c> don't</c><00:36:26.400><c> we?</c>

00:36:27.219 --> 00:36:28.559
And<00:36:27.400><c> that's</c><00:36:27.619><c> the</c><00:36:27.739><c> end.</c>

00:36:28.780 --> 00:36:31.960
And<00:36:28.780><c> in</c><00:36:29.760><c> a</c><00:36:29.940><c> sense,</c><00:36:30.500><c> there's</c><00:36:30.599><c> something</c><00:36:30.880><c> pathetic</c><00:36:31.360><c> about</c><00:36:31.719><c> that</c>

00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:35.039
So<00:36:34.019><c> why</c><00:36:34.280><c> is</c><00:36:34.480><c> it</c><00:36:34.639><c> that</c><00:36:34.800><c> then?</c>

00:36:35.219 --> 00:36:37.440
Why<00:36:35.360><c> is</c><00:36:35.539><c> it</c><00:36:35.679><c> if</c><00:36:35.800><c> we're</c><00:36:36.019><c> the</c><00:36:36.219><c> pinnacle</c><00:36:36.519><c> of</c><00:36:36.699><c> God's</c><00:36:37.099><c> creation,</c>

00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:54.039
Well,<00:36:52.019><c> we</c><00:36:52.179><c> know</c><00:36:52.340><c> why</c><00:36:52.519><c> that</c><00:36:52.760><c> is,</c><00:36:52.920><c> don't</c><00:36:53.119><c> we?</c>

00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:03.960

00:42:20.579 --> 00:42:21.460
and<00:42:20.699><c> we're</c><00:42:20.900><c> busy</c><00:42:21.039><c> with</c><00:42:21.280><c> that.</c>

00:42:21.699 --> 00:42:24.139
And<00:42:21.800><c> we</c><00:42:21.940><c> don't</c><00:42:22.199><c> think</c><00:42:22.480><c> about</c><00:42:22.760><c> the</c><00:42:23.000><c> emptiness</c><00:42:23.340><c> of</c><00:42:23.639><c> it</c><00:42:23.840><c> all.</c>

00:42:24.460 --> 00:42:26.219
But<00:42:24.619><c> when</c><00:42:24.780><c> we</c><00:42:25.019><c> do</c><00:42:25.219><c> stop</c><00:42:25.400><c> to</c><00:42:25.599><c> think</c><00:42:25.780><c> about</c><00:42:26.039><c> it,</c>

00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:40.519
And<00:42:39.159><c> then</c><00:42:39.639><c> I</c><00:42:39.780><c> look</c><00:42:39.940><c> at</c><00:42:40.000><c> my</c><00:42:40.219><c> own</c><00:42:40.380><c> life</c>

00:42:43.440 --> 00:42:44.360
And<00:42:43.619><c> we're</c><00:42:43.780><c> all</c><00:42:43.980><c> doing</c><00:42:44.159><c> that.</c>

00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:46.559
Every<00:42:44.679><c> one</c><00:42:44.820><c> of</c><00:42:44.860><c> us</c><00:42:45.059><c> is</c><00:42:45.239><c> doing</c><00:42:45.380><c> that</c><00:42:45.599><c> in</c><00:42:45.739><c> our</c><00:42:45.940><c> lives,</c><00:42:46.119><c> isn't</c><00:42:46.360><c> it?</c>

And<00:42:46.840><c> the</c><00:42:46.980><c> challenge</c><00:42:47.340><c> is,</c><00:42:47.800><c> can</c><00:42:48.099><c> we</c><00:42:48.420><c> stop?</c>

00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:54.119

00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:07.380
the<00:43:04.519><c> things</c><00:43:04.719><c> that</c><00:43:05.079><c> transcend</c><00:43:06.000><c> this</c><00:43:06.840><c> vanity</c>

00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:38.260
I<00:43:36.239><c> think</c><00:43:36.239><c> it's</c><00:43:36.380><c> a</c><00:43:36.579><c> deliberate</c><00:43:36.880><c> contrast</c><00:43:37.539><c> there.</c>

00:43:38.639 --> 00:43:42.940
If<00:43:38.980><c> this</c><00:43:39.340><c> life</c><00:43:39.599><c> is</c><00:43:39.880><c> vanity,</c><00:43:40.900><c> God</c><00:43:41.239><c> can</c><00:43:41.780><c> produce</c><00:43:42.320><c> in</c><00:43:42.579><c> our</c><00:43:42.699><c> lives</c>

00:43:42.940 --> 00:43:46.219

00:43:48.820 --> 00:43:52.420

00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:02.880
The<00:44:59.420><c> sun</c><00:45:00.139><c> goes</c><00:45:00.800><c> and</c><00:45:01.300><c> returns</c><00:45:01.800><c> to</c><00:45:02.059><c> its</c><00:45:02.320><c> place,</c>

00:45:03.380 --> 00:45:05.159
and<00:45:03.559><c> there</c><00:45:03.760><c> it</c><00:45:03.880><c> goes</c><00:45:04.159><c> again</c><00:45:04.579><c> from</c><00:45:04.920><c> there,</c>

00:45:05.260 --> 00:45:06.280
and<00:45:05.400><c> you</c><00:45:05.480><c> see</c><00:45:05.619><c> where</c><00:45:05.719><c> this</c><00:45:05.940><c> is</c><00:45:06.099><c> going.</c>

00:45:06.539 --> 00:45:09.980
This<00:45:06.739><c> is</c><00:45:07.619><c> so</c><00:45:08.000><c> powerful,</c><00:45:08.659><c> isn't</c><00:45:08.659><c> it?</c>

00:45:10.099 --> 00:45:11.659
I<00:45:10.219><c> just</c><00:45:10.440><c> think</c><00:45:10.780><c> this</c><00:45:11.039><c> is</c><00:45:11.199><c> amazing.</c>

00:45:11.659 --> 00:45:14.199
And<00:45:12.000><c> the</c><00:45:12.199><c> wind</c><00:45:12.519><c> has</c><00:45:12.760><c> its</c><00:45:13.139><c> circuits,</c>

00:45:14.340 --> 00:45:16.400
and<00:45:14.699><c> that's</c><00:45:15.340><c> the</c><00:45:15.539><c> place</c><00:45:15.719><c> for</c><00:45:15.920><c> the</c><00:45:16.059><c> wind,</c>

00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:18.380
and<00:45:16.820><c> it</c><00:45:16.960><c> goes</c><00:45:17.219><c> round</c><00:45:17.539><c> on</c><00:45:17.940><c> those</c><00:45:18.179><c> circuits.</c>

00:45:18.420 --> 00:45:21.059
It<00:45:18.539><c> doesn't</c><00:45:18.739><c> come</c><00:45:18.940><c> off</c><00:45:19.099><c> the</c><00:45:19.260><c> rails,</c><00:45:19.760><c> it</c><00:45:19.920><c> goes</c><00:45:20.179><c> on</c><00:45:20.360><c> its</c><00:45:20.599><c> circuits.</c>

00:45:21.500 --> 00:45:24.760
And<00:45:21.940><c> the</c><00:45:22.340><c> water</c><00:45:22.739><c> has</c><00:45:23.139><c> this</c><00:45:23.420><c> cycle,</c><00:45:23.940><c> it</c><00:45:24.039><c> has</c><00:45:24.219><c> its</c><00:45:24.559><c> place,</c>

00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:28.320
and<00:45:24.940><c> it</c><00:45:25.139><c> returns</c><00:45:25.579><c> to</c><00:45:25.820><c> the</c><00:45:26.019><c> sea,</c><00:45:26.440><c> and</c><00:45:26.599><c> then</c><00:45:26.719><c> it</c><00:45:26.860><c> goes</c><00:45:27.079><c> round</c><00:45:27.380><c> again.</c>

00:45:29.219 --> 00:45:31.320
One<00:45:29.400><c> generation</c><00:45:30.000><c> cometh</c><00:45:30.539><c> and</c><00:45:31.019><c> goes.</c>

00:45:31.719 --> 00:45:35.179
And<00:45:32.239><c> what</c><00:45:32.519><c> chapter</c><00:45:32.820><c> 1</c><00:45:33.099><c> doesn't</c><00:45:33.460><c> say</c><00:45:33.940><c> is</c><00:45:34.300><c> where</c><00:45:34.559><c> the</c><00:45:34.780><c> place</c><00:45:34.980><c> of</c>

00:45:35.179 --> 00:45:36.460
man<00:45:35.320><c> is.</c>

00:45:37.099 --> 00:45:38.880
And<00:45:37.420><c> that's</c><00:45:37.840><c> held</c><00:45:37.960><c> out</c><00:45:38.219><c> in</c><00:45:38.460><c> suspense,</c>

00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:42.320
and<00:45:39.119><c> we</c><00:45:39.159><c> don't</c><00:45:39.440><c> find</c><00:45:39.780><c> what</c><00:45:40.019><c> our</c><00:45:40.320><c> place</c><00:45:40.559><c> is</c><00:45:41.260><c> until</c><00:45:41.659><c> we</c><00:45:41.880><c> get</c><00:45:42.139><c> to</c>

00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:43.199
chapter<00:45:42.599><c> 12.</c>

00:45:43.420 --> 00:45:49.139
And<00:45:43.579><c> it</c><00:45:43.820><c> says,</c><00:45:45.000><c> because</c><00:45:45.000><c> a</c><00:45:45.440><c> man</c><00:45:45.699><c> is</c><00:45:46.099><c> going</c><00:45:46.420><c> to</c><00:45:47.000><c> his</c><00:45:47.460><c> eternal</c><00:45:48.159><c> home,</c>

00:45:49.619 --> 00:45:52.400
his<00:45:49.880><c> eternal</c><00:45:50.460><c> place,</c><00:45:51.599><c> where's</c><00:45:51.860><c> that</c><00:45:52.119><c> place?</c>

00:45:52.460 --> 00:45:53.639
That<00:45:52.699><c> place</c><00:45:52.920><c> is</c><00:45:53.159><c> the</c><00:45:53.360><c> grave.</c>

00:45:54.019 --> 00:45:57.500
That<00:45:54.199><c> is</c><00:45:54.460><c> the</c><00:45:54.619><c> most</c><00:45:54.960><c> tragic</c><00:45:55.960><c> ending,</c><00:45:57.099><c> isn't</c><00:45:57.099><c> it?</c>

00:45:57.880 --> 00:46:00.639
If<00:45:58.139><c> we</c><00:45:58.400><c> don't</c><00:45:58.559><c> have</c><00:45:58.800><c> God,</c><00:45:59.679><c> that's</c><00:46:00.039><c> all</c><00:46:00.239><c> we</c><00:46:00.500><c> have.</c>

00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:02.860
That's<00:46:00.960><c> the</c><00:46:01.119><c> only</c><00:46:01.400><c> place,</c><00:46:01.860><c> that's</c><00:46:02.099><c> the</c><00:46:02.280><c> only</c><00:46:02.539><c> home</c>

00:46:02.860 --> 00:46:05.099
that<00:46:03.039><c> we</c><00:46:03.239><c> have</c><00:46:03.440><c> to</c><00:46:03.599><c> look</c><00:46:03.860><c> forward</c><00:46:04.199><c> to.</c>

00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:09.400
But<00:46:06.099><c> thanks</c><00:46:06.539><c> be</c><00:46:06.739><c> to</c><00:46:06.920><c> God,</c><00:46:07.659><c> and</c><00:46:07.920><c> praise</c><00:46:08.139><c> be</c><00:46:08.420><c> to</c><00:46:08.539><c> him,</c>

00:46:09.699 --> 00:46:12.880
that<00:46:10.079><c> we</c><00:46:10.519><c> now</c><00:46:11.039><c> have</c><00:46:11.739><c> another</c><00:46:12.079><c> home.</c>

00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:18.099
Our<00:46:13.659><c> home</c><00:46:13.880><c> now</c><00:46:14.440><c> is</c><00:46:15.280><c> about</c><00:46:15.579><c> heavenly</c><00:46:15.900><c> places</c><00:46:16.280><c> in</c><00:46:16.559><c> Christ,</c><00:46:16.940><c> isn't</c><00:46:17.079><c> it?</c>
