00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:26.000
So<00:03:22.479><c> as</c><00:03:23.120><c> brethren</c><00:03:23.400><c> and</c><00:03:23.620><c> sisters</c><00:03:23.919><c> in</c><00:03:24.259><c> the</c><00:03:24.419><c> Lord</c><00:03:24.539><c> Jesus</c><00:03:24.939><c> Christ,</c>

we<00:03:26.199><c> know</c><00:03:26.460><c> that</c><00:03:27.099><c> those</c><00:03:27.620><c> around</c><00:03:28.039><c> are</c><00:03:28.240><c> able</c><00:03:28.520><c> to</c><00:03:28.979><c> look</c><00:03:29.199><c> upon</c><00:03:29.479><c> us</c>

00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.819

00:03:35.500 --> 00:03:39.919
So<00:03:35.659><c> he's</c><00:03:35.879><c> extended</c><00:03:36.259><c> mercy</c><00:03:36.699><c> to</c><00:03:37.020><c> us</c><00:03:37.479><c> in</c><00:03:37.979><c> the</c><00:03:38.319><c> sight</c><00:03:38.800><c> of</c><00:03:39.479><c> those</c>

00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:45.219
That's<00:03:41.740><c> why</c><00:03:42.000><c> when</c><00:03:42.219><c> Brother</c><00:03:42.379><c> John</c><00:03:42.620><c> said</c><00:03:42.840><c> that</c><00:03:43.680><c> the</c><00:03:44.099><c> apostle</c><00:03:44.419><c> was</c><00:03:44.860><c> an</c>

00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:50.060
so<00:03:47.080><c> we</c><00:03:47.300><c> also</c><00:03:47.699><c> must</c><00:03:47.939><c> be</c><00:03:48.300><c> ambassadors</c><00:03:49.060><c> for</c><00:03:49.560><c> Christ.</c>

00:03:50.419 --> 00:03:53.699

00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:02.139

00:04:02.139 --> 00:04:07.580

00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:06.500
They'd<00:08:05.720><c> already</c><00:08:06.040><c> done</c><00:08:06.259><c> it.</c>

00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:11.319
They<00:08:06.680><c> were</c><00:08:07.180><c> on</c><00:08:07.480><c> their</c><00:08:07.600><c> way</c><00:08:07.819><c> back</c><00:08:08.379><c> to</c><00:08:09.480><c> the</c><00:08:09.800><c> land</c><00:08:10.040><c> of</c><00:08:10.339><c> Egypt.</c>

00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:13.740
Now<00:08:11.699><c> go</c><00:08:11.839><c> back</c><00:08:12.060><c> into</c><00:08:12.279><c> Nehemiah</c><00:08:12.720><c> 9,</c>

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.139
Now<00:08:43.019><c> we</c><00:08:43.100><c> need</c><00:08:43.259><c> to</c><00:08:43.480><c> remember</c><00:08:43.740><c> that.</c>

00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.100
We<00:08:45.120><c> need</c><00:08:45.340><c> to</c><00:08:45.500><c> set</c><00:08:45.600><c> that</c><00:08:45.799><c> in</c><00:08:45.980><c> front</c><00:08:46.159><c> of</c><00:08:46.299><c> us</c><00:08:46.419><c> all</c><00:08:46.659><c> the</c><00:08:46.759><c> while.</c>

00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:50.600
And<00:08:47.580><c> we</c><00:08:47.659><c> also</c><00:08:48.000><c> need</c><00:08:48.220><c> to</c><00:08:48.460><c> understand</c><00:08:49.019><c> that</c><00:08:49.460><c> this</c><00:08:49.659><c> was</c><00:08:49.860><c> the</c><00:08:50.039><c> situation</c>

00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:53.240
into<00:08:50.919><c> which</c><00:08:51.480><c> Israel</c><00:08:52.059><c> had</c><00:08:52.399><c> led</c><00:08:52.559><c> themselves,</c>

00:08:53.299 --> 00:08:56.159
that<00:08:53.440><c> they</c><00:08:53.639><c> were</c><00:08:53.899><c> returning</c><00:08:54.519><c> to</c><00:08:55.000><c> Egypt.</c>

00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:00.620
They'd<00:08:56.980><c> already</c><00:08:57.279><c> been</c><00:08:57.539><c> brought</c><00:08:57.799><c> out</c><00:08:58.639><c> by</c><00:08:59.159><c> the</c><00:08:59.360><c> mighty</c><00:08:59.720><c> hand</c><00:09:00.000><c> of</c><00:09:00.279><c> God.</c>

00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.460
They<00:09:01.259><c> had</c><00:09:01.559><c> seen</c><00:09:01.860><c> his</c><00:09:02.240><c> wonders,</c>

00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.960
not<00:09:03.740><c> only</c><00:09:04.000><c> in</c><00:09:04.179><c> the</c><00:09:04.259><c> land</c><00:09:04.539><c> of</c><00:09:04.940><c> Ham,</c><00:09:05.559><c> as</c><00:09:05.720><c> the</c><00:09:05.960><c> psalmist</c><00:09:06.240><c> tells</c><00:09:06.559><c> us,</c>

00:09:07.259 --> 00:09:09.720
but<00:09:07.379><c> they</c><00:09:07.539><c> had</c><00:09:07.659><c> seen</c><00:09:07.779><c> his</c><00:09:08.059><c> wonders</c><00:09:08.299><c> in</c><00:09:08.500><c> the</c><00:09:08.639><c> wilderness,</c>

00:09:09.899 --> 00:09:12.259
and<00:09:10.100><c> yet</c><00:09:10.220><c> they</c><00:09:10.360><c> were</c><00:09:10.539><c> on</c><00:09:10.720><c> their</c><00:09:10.860><c> way</c><00:09:11.120><c> back.</c>

00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:17.139
So<00:09:13.679><c> it's</c><00:09:14.039><c> fitting</c><00:09:14.299><c> that</c><00:09:14.919><c> we</c><00:09:15.299><c> should</c><00:09:15.899><c> look</c><00:09:16.360><c> at</c><00:09:16.559><c> these</c><00:09:16.799><c> things</c>

00:09:17.139 --> 00:09:18.440
as<00:09:17.440><c> well.</c>

00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.259
We<00:09:18.860><c> may</c><00:09:19.200><c> have</c><00:09:19.759><c> already</c><00:09:20.379><c> committed</c><00:09:20.899><c> ourselves</c>

00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.080

00:09:26.899 --> 00:09:30.940
but<00:09:27.220><c> there</c><00:09:27.379><c> will</c><00:09:27.519><c> be</c><00:09:27.759><c> times</c><00:09:28.240><c> in</c><00:09:28.539><c> the</c><00:09:28.700><c> life</c><00:09:28.940><c> of</c><00:09:29.159><c> each</c><00:09:29.399><c> one</c><00:09:29.600><c> of</c><00:09:29.779><c> us</c>

00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:34.919
when<00:09:31.960><c> we</c><00:09:32.259><c> will</c><00:09:32.399><c> be</c><00:09:32.639><c> tempted</c><00:09:33.120><c> to</c><00:09:33.919><c> appoint</c><00:09:34.220><c> a</c><00:09:34.480><c> captain</c>

00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.419
to<00:09:35.759><c> lead</c><00:09:35.879><c> us</c><00:09:36.159><c> back</c><00:09:36.320><c> into</c><00:09:36.620><c> bondage.</c>

00:09:37.419 --> 00:09:42.179
But<00:09:37.879><c> God</c><00:09:38.059><c> is</c><00:09:38.259><c> a</c><00:09:38.360><c> god</c><00:09:38.480><c> of</c><00:09:38.840><c> forgiveness,</c><00:09:40.120><c> a</c><00:09:40.220><c> god</c><00:09:40.419><c> of</c><00:09:40.820><c> pardons.</c>

00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:46.220
And<00:09:42.960><c> in</c><00:09:43.200><c> all</c><00:09:43.519><c> of</c><00:09:43.740><c> those</c><00:09:44.019><c> occasions,</c><00:09:44.820><c> each</c><00:09:45.159><c> one</c><00:09:45.379><c> of</c><00:09:45.580><c> them,</c>

00:09:46.700 --> 00:09:51.559
God<00:09:46.980><c> can</c><00:09:47.820><c> lead</c><00:09:48.120><c> us</c><00:09:48.740><c> back</c><00:09:49.580><c> to</c><00:09:50.500><c> him,</c>

00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.659
for<00:09:51.779><c> thou</c><00:09:51.919><c> art</c><00:09:52.039><c> a</c><00:09:52.179><c> god</c><00:09:52.320><c> ready</c><00:09:52.559><c> to</c><00:09:52.840><c> pardon.</c>

00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:56.500
And<00:09:53.980><c> then</c><00:09:54.399><c> the</c><00:09:54.700><c> name</c><00:09:54.980><c> of</c><00:09:55.220><c> God</c><00:09:55.360><c> himself.</c>

00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.960
It's<00:09:57.759><c> a</c><00:09:57.960><c> repetition</c><00:09:58.399><c> here</c><00:09:58.820><c> in</c><00:09:59.220><c> Nehemiah</c><00:09:59.700><c> 9</c>

00:09:59.960 --> 00:10:02.120
of<00:10:00.139><c> that</c><00:10:00.399><c> which</c><00:10:00.600><c> we</c><00:10:00.980><c> read</c><00:10:01.179><c> first</c><00:10:01.480><c> in</c><00:10:01.759><c> Exodus.</c>

00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:04.659
He<00:10:02.679><c> is</c><00:10:02.820><c> a</c><00:10:02.940><c> god</c><00:10:03.279><c> gracious</c><00:10:03.820><c> and</c><00:10:04.120><c> merciful,</c>

00:10:04.659 --> 00:10:08.000
slow<00:10:05.679><c> to</c><00:10:05.960><c> anger</c><00:10:06.159><c> and</c><00:10:06.299><c> of</c><00:10:06.480><c> great</c><00:10:06.720><c> kindness,</c>

00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:12.419
and<00:10:08.480><c> he</c><00:10:09.700><c> forsook</c><00:10:10.620><c> them</c><00:10:11.320><c> not,</c>

00:10:12.659 --> 00:10:15.080
just<00:10:12.960><c> as</c><00:10:13.100><c> God</c><00:10:13.299><c> will</c><00:10:13.480><c> never</c><00:10:13.659><c> forsake</c><00:10:14.019><c> us.</c>

00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:17.460
So<00:10:15.960><c> immediately,</c><00:10:16.500><c> as</c><00:10:16.559><c> we're</c><00:10:16.779><c> introduced</c><00:10:17.159><c> here</c>

00:10:20.539 --> 00:10:24.539
we're<00:10:20.720><c> also</c><00:10:21.019><c> introduced</c><00:10:21.620><c> to</c><00:10:22.019><c> the</c><00:10:22.299><c> means</c><00:10:22.740><c> for</c><00:10:23.159><c> their</c><00:10:23.419><c> release.</c>

00:10:24.980 --> 00:10:27.139
And<00:10:25.259><c> wherever</c><00:10:25.480><c> bondage</c><00:10:25.980><c> is</c><00:10:26.159><c> mentioned</c><00:10:26.440><c> in</c><00:10:26.700><c> Scripture,</c>

00:10:27.379 --> 00:10:30.539
we<00:10:27.559><c> are</c><00:10:27.700><c> also</c><00:10:28.039><c> told</c><00:10:28.419><c> about</c><00:10:28.879><c> release</c><00:10:29.399><c> from</c><00:10:29.759><c> bondage.</c>

00:10:30.940 --> 00:10:34.639
The<00:10:31.139><c> picture</c><00:10:31.399><c> is</c><00:10:31.600><c> never</c><00:10:31.779><c> so</c><00:10:32.139><c> black</c><00:10:32.559><c> that</c><00:10:33.000><c> it's</c><00:10:33.220><c> all</c><00:10:33.480><c> consuming.</c>

00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:36.820
And<00:10:35.379><c> as</c><00:10:35.919><c> the</c><00:10:36.220><c> Proverb</c><00:10:36.480><c> says,</c>

there<00:10:37.039><c> is</c><00:10:37.639><c> within</c><00:10:38.179><c> each</c><00:10:38.740><c> dark</c><00:10:39.179><c> cloud</c>

00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:53.799
Notice<00:14:51.940><c> we're</c><00:14:52.500><c> introduced</c><00:14:52.840><c> first</c><00:14:53.139><c> of</c><00:14:53.360><c> all</c>

00:14:58.179 --> 00:15:02.340

00:15:02.779 --> 00:15:05.399
You'll<00:15:03.100><c> recall</c><00:15:03.399><c> from</c><00:15:03.580><c> Romans</c><00:15:03.879><c> chapter</c><00:15:04.259><c> 1</c><00:15:04.559><c> that</c>

00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:14.580

00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:24.639
in<00:15:23.159><c> so</c><00:15:23.259><c> much</c><00:15:23.460><c> that</c><00:15:23.620><c> the</c><00:15:23.899><c> blind</c><00:15:24.220><c> and</c><00:15:24.460><c> dumb</c>

00:19:43.740 --> 00:19:45.819
Sin<00:19:43.940><c> is</c><00:19:44.259><c> a</c><00:19:44.500><c> heavy</c><00:19:44.740><c> burden.</c>

00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:49.160

00:20:45.940 --> 00:20:49.599

Now<00:20:55.079><c> if</c><00:20:55.180><c> we</c><00:20:55.359><c> could</c><00:20:55.660><c> see</c><00:20:56.240><c> sin</c><00:20:56.539><c> in</c><00:20:56.819><c> that</c><00:20:57.079><c> way,</c>

It's<00:24:41.180><c> not</c><00:24:41.400><c> just</c><00:24:41.920><c> talking</c><00:24:42.460><c> about</c><00:24:44.339><c> flippant</c><00:24:45.599><c> speech</c>

00:26:59.299 --> 00:27:00.839
That's<00:26:59.900><c> sin.</c>

Unrighteousness<00:28:15.339><c> is</c><00:28:15.740><c> sin.</c>

00:31:58.460 --> 00:32:00.460
And<00:31:58.819><c> let's</c><00:31:59.019><c> forget</c><00:31:59.279><c> that.</c>

00:32:00.700 --> 00:32:04.119
There<00:32:00.799><c> were</c><00:32:01.180><c> great</c><00:32:01.500><c> things</c><00:32:01.940><c> which</c><00:32:02.200><c> were</c><00:32:02.720><c> true</c><00:32:03.079><c> for</c><00:32:03.279><c> the</c><00:32:03.400><c> nation</c><00:32:03.680><c> of</c><00:32:03.819><c> Israel,</c>

00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:34.519

00:32:37.420 --> 00:32:41.900
That<00:32:37.759><c> sin</c><00:32:37.960><c> is</c><00:32:38.279><c> now</c><00:32:39.099><c> marked</c><00:32:39.480><c> out</c><00:32:39.900><c> as</c><00:32:40.160><c> being</c><00:32:40.599><c> universal.</c>

00:32:42.220 --> 00:32:46.440
All<00:32:42.500><c> of</c><00:32:42.759><c> creation</c><00:32:43.279><c> is</c><00:32:44.400><c> touched</c><00:32:45.000><c> by</c><00:32:45.420><c> sin.</c>

00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:49.039
And<00:32:47.779><c> the</c><00:32:47.980><c> first</c><00:32:48.259><c> use</c><00:32:48.460><c> in</c><00:32:48.740><c> Scripture,</c>

00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:53.460
I<00:32:49.279><c> wonder</c><00:32:49.519><c> whether</c><00:32:50.400><c> anyone</c><00:32:50.960><c> could</c><00:32:51.740><c> recall</c><00:32:52.460><c> the</c><00:32:52.720><c> first</c><00:32:52.980><c> occasion</c>

that<00:32:53.960><c> sin</c><00:32:54.180><c> is</c><00:32:54.500><c> mentioned</c><00:32:54.819><c> in</c><00:32:55.099><c> Scripture.</c>

00:32:55.539 --> 00:32:58.500
I'm<00:32:56.400><c> quite</c><00:32:56.519><c> happy</c><00:32:56.819><c> if</c><00:32:56.960><c> someone</c><00:32:57.259><c> feels</c><00:32:57.640><c> that</c><00:32:57.779><c> they're</c><00:32:58.000><c> able</c><00:32:58.220><c> to</c>

00:32:58.500 --> 00:32:58.940
shout<00:32:58.720><c> out</c>

a<00:32:59.140><c> chapter</c><00:32:59.420><c> in</c><00:32:59.579><c> the</c><00:32:59.700><c> verse</c><00:32:59.960><c> for</c><00:33:00.279><c> me.</c>

00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:07.859
The<00:33:05.279><c> word</c><00:33:05.880><c> sin</c><00:33:06.259><c> is</c><00:33:06.720><c> first</c><00:33:07.099><c> used</c><00:33:07.359><c> in</c><00:33:07.640><c> Scripture.</c>

00:33:07.980 --> 00:33:10.220
It's<00:33:08.079><c> not</c><00:33:08.240><c> Genesis</c><00:33:08.619><c> 3</c><00:33:08.960><c>-15.</c>

00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:13.599

00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:15.039
Thank<00:33:13.819><c> you,</c><00:33:13.980><c> Brother</c><00:33:14.160><c> Bart.</c>

00:33:18.259 --> 00:33:22.240
Now,<00:33:19.079><c> it's</c><00:33:19.380><c> a</c><00:33:19.700><c> remarkable</c><00:33:20.259><c> use</c><00:33:20.779><c> of</c><00:33:21.160><c> the</c><00:33:21.339><c> word</c><00:33:21.660><c> sin,</c>

00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:25.660
because<00:33:23.220><c> as</c><00:33:23.859><c> we've</c><00:33:24.119><c> already</c><00:33:24.460><c> discovered,</c>

00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:29.460
it's<00:33:26.380><c> not</c><00:33:26.599><c> just</c><00:33:27.079><c> bondage</c><00:33:27.839><c> that</c><00:33:28.019><c> is</c><00:33:28.279><c> mentioned,</c>

00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:33.099
but<00:33:30.299><c> release</c><00:33:31.019><c> from</c><00:33:31.460><c> bondage.</c>

00:33:33.539 --> 00:33:36.980
So<00:33:33.660><c> here</c><00:33:33.799><c> we</c><00:33:33.980><c> have</c><00:33:34.119><c> it,</c><00:33:34.480><c> Genesis</c><00:33:34.700><c> 4</c><00:33:35.240><c>-7.</c>

00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:45.900
And<00:33:38.680><c> it's</c><00:33:39.980><c> Kenneth</c><00:33:40.720><c> Cain</c><00:33:42.059><c> who</c><00:33:43.200><c> slew</c><00:33:44.599><c> his</c><00:33:45.000><c> brother.</c>

00:33:46.660 --> 00:33:51.180
Now,<00:33:48.359><c> reading</c><00:33:49.039><c> of</c><00:33:49.319><c> Scripture</c><00:33:49.500><c> must</c><00:33:49.680><c> be</c><00:33:49.920><c> so</c><00:33:50.180><c> careful,</c><00:33:50.579><c> mustn't</c><00:33:50.819><c> it?</c>

00:33:51.180 --> 00:33:54.220
Remember<00:33:52.019><c> that</c><00:33:52.900><c> passage</c><00:33:53.200><c> from</c><00:33:53.359><c> our</c><00:33:53.559><c> statement</c><00:33:53.799><c> of</c><00:33:54.059><c> faith,</c>

00:33:54.420 --> 00:33:56.599
the<00:33:54.500><c> plan</c><00:33:54.779><c> of</c><00:33:55.220><c> restoration.</c>

In<00:33:57.039><c> other</c><00:33:57.119><c> words,</c><00:33:57.380><c> it</c><00:33:57.640><c> was</c><00:33:57.900><c> a</c><00:33:58.200><c> reversal</c><00:33:58.779><c> of</c><00:33:59.559><c> the</c><00:33:59.859><c> trend</c>

00:34:00.180 --> 00:34:02.200

00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:04.119
Man<00:34:02.579><c> had</c><00:34:02.920><c> separated</c><00:34:03.400><c> from</c><00:34:03.740><c> God.</c>

00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:07.420
God<00:34:04.680><c> was</c><00:34:04.900><c> going</c><00:34:05.059><c> to</c><00:34:05.319><c> restore</c><00:34:05.880><c> man</c><00:34:06.240><c> to</c><00:34:06.599><c> him.</c>

00:34:07.619 --> 00:34:09.519
And<00:34:07.880><c> here,</c><00:34:08.099><c> when</c><00:34:08.280><c> we</c><00:34:08.500><c> read</c><00:34:08.639><c> this</c><00:34:08.880><c> about</c><00:34:09.199><c> Cain,</c>

00:34:09.659 --> 00:34:13.400
we<00:34:09.780><c> must</c><00:34:09.960><c> remember</c><00:34:10.639><c> that</c><00:34:11.099><c> there</c><00:34:11.320><c> is</c><00:34:12.019><c> also</c><00:34:12.659><c> going</c><00:34:12.860><c> to</c><00:34:13.079><c> be</c>

a<00:34:14.099><c> process</c><00:34:14.420><c> of</c><00:34:14.699><c> restoration.</c>

00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:20.079
So<00:34:17.400><c> Cain</c><00:34:18.039><c> slew</c><00:34:18.719><c> his</c><00:34:19.099><c> brother.</c>

00:34:20.420 --> 00:34:24.820
The<00:34:20.940><c> Lord</c><00:34:21.239><c> Jesus</c><00:34:21.659><c> Christ</c><00:34:22.079><c> is</c><00:34:22.340><c> going</c><00:34:22.460><c> to</c><00:34:22.659><c> give</c><00:34:22.860><c> life</c><00:34:23.280><c> to</c><00:34:23.539><c> his</c><00:34:23.860><c> brethren.</c>

00:34:25.579 --> 00:34:30.780
That's<00:34:26.099><c> the</c><00:34:26.619><c> reverse</c><00:34:27.300><c> side</c><00:34:27.980><c> of</c><00:34:28.579><c> the</c><00:34:28.800><c> story</c><00:34:29.059><c> of</c><00:34:29.420><c> Cain.</c>

00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:34.360
The<00:34:33.119><c> Lord</c><00:34:33.400><c> said</c><00:34:33.639><c> to</c><00:34:33.860><c> Cain,</c>

It's<00:34:52.559><c> picked</c><00:34:52.880><c> up</c><00:34:53.159><c> in</c><00:34:53.780><c> Hebrews</c><00:34:54.179><c> 11,</c>

where<00:34:55.800><c> we're</c><00:34:56.039><c> told</c><00:34:56.280><c> that</c><00:34:57.000><c> Abel</c><00:34:57.360><c> had</c><00:34:57.679><c> faith</c>

So<00:35:14.639><c> even</c><00:35:15.099><c> though</c><00:35:15.460><c> Cain</c><00:35:15.699><c> had</c><00:35:16.019><c> not</c><00:35:16.320><c> offered</c><00:35:16.599><c> a</c><00:35:16.800><c> more</c><00:35:17.099><c> excellent</c>

00:35:27.260 --> 00:35:29.519
And<00:35:27.460><c> he</c><00:35:27.539><c> could</c><00:35:27.840><c> still</c><00:35:28.139><c> be</c><00:35:28.460><c> accepted.</c>

00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:39.039
And<00:35:33.679><c> if</c><00:35:33.900><c> thou</c><00:35:34.619><c> doest</c><00:35:35.199><c> not</c><00:35:35.780><c> well,</c><00:35:37.920><c> sin</c><00:35:38.219><c> lieth</c><00:35:38.639><c> at</c><00:35:38.780><c> the</c><00:35:38.900><c> door.</c>
