00:14:54.460 --> 00:14:58.000
Yes,<00:14:55.740><c> so</c><00:14:56.200><c> that</c><00:14:56.480><c> is</c><00:14:56.700><c> what</c><00:14:56.919><c> Jesus</c><00:14:57.179><c> said</c><00:14:57.279><c> you</c><00:14:57.419><c> were</c><00:14:57.559><c> just</c><00:14:57.820><c> like</c>

It<00:14:59.539><c> causes</c><00:14:59.779><c> you</c><00:15:00.059><c> to</c><00:15:00.360><c> vomit</c>

00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:06.120

00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:10.779
Well,<00:15:06.940><c> this</c><00:15:07.080><c> wasn't</c><00:15:07.379><c> hot</c><00:15:07.700><c> after</c><00:15:08.080><c> having</c><00:15:08.419><c> gone</c><00:15:08.659><c> through</c><00:15:09.019><c> a</c><00:15:09.159><c> pipe</c><00:15:09.500><c> over</c><00:15:09.860><c> five</c><00:15:10.220><c> kilometers.</c><00:15:10.559><c> It</c>

00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:19.620
And<00:15:17.279><c> it</c><00:15:17.399><c> represented</c><00:15:17.740><c> the</c><00:15:18.000><c> Ecclesia</c><00:15:18.500><c> but</c><00:15:18.940><c> now</c><00:15:19.220><c> from</c><00:15:19.440><c> another</c>

00:15:22.419 --> 00:15:28.139
Here<00:15:22.759><c> we</c><00:15:23.000><c> are</c><00:15:23.559><c> in</c><00:15:24.539><c> a</c><00:15:24.840><c> theater</c><00:15:25.399><c> and</c><00:15:25.799><c> you</c><00:15:25.919><c> look</c><00:15:26.080><c> out</c><00:15:26.419><c> at</c><00:15:27.000><c> the</c><00:15:27.299><c> valley</c><00:15:27.580><c> of</c>

the<00:15:28.340><c> Lycus</c><00:15:28.559><c> valley</c>

00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:32.440
And<00:15:29.419><c> Colossus</c><00:15:29.740><c> is</c><00:15:29.899><c> just</c><00:15:30.080><c> right</c><00:15:30.279><c> here.</c><00:15:31.159><c> You</c><00:15:31.299><c> can</c><00:15:31.460><c> see</c><00:15:31.639><c> Colossus</c>

00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:34.879
from<00:15:33.600><c> Laodicea</c>

00:15:34.940 --> 00:15:38.899
So<00:15:35.500><c> here</c><00:15:35.759><c> we</c><00:15:36.159><c> went</c><00:15:36.399><c> to</c><00:15:36.600><c> Colossus,</c><00:15:36.940><c> it</c><00:15:37.080><c> was</c><00:15:37.080><c> difficult</c><00:15:37.419><c> to</c><00:15:37.700><c> find,</c><00:15:38.440><c> it's</c>

00:15:38.899 --> 00:15:42.559
right<00:15:39.159><c> behind</c><00:15:39.580><c> this</c><00:15:40.240><c> snow</c><00:15:40.620><c>-capped</c><00:15:41.120><c> mount</c><00:15:41.559><c> Holmas</c><00:15:42.000><c> as</c><00:15:42.200><c> it</c><00:15:42.419><c> is</c>

called<00:15:42.720><c> nowadays</c>

00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.960
And<00:15:43.840><c> this</c><00:15:44.000><c> is</c><00:15:44.220><c> the</c><00:15:44.419><c> unexcavated</c><00:15:45.379><c> mount</c><00:15:45.720><c> of</c><00:15:45.960><c> Colossus</c>

00:15:47.740 --> 00:15:50.779
So<00:15:48.299><c> there</c><00:15:48.360><c> wasn't</c><00:15:48.740><c> very</c><00:15:49.159><c> much</c><00:15:49.379><c> to</c><00:15:49.620><c> see</c><00:15:49.779><c> apart</c><00:15:50.100><c> from</c><00:15:50.340><c> the</c><00:15:50.539><c> site,</c>

00:15:51.059 --> 00:15:55.080
the<00:15:51.200><c> whole</c><00:15:51.580><c> top</c><00:15:52.000><c> is</c><00:15:52.519><c> a</c><00:15:53.000><c> field</c><00:15:53.139><c> where</c><00:15:53.320><c> they</c><00:15:53.500><c> grow</c><00:15:53.639><c> barley</c><00:15:54.059><c> at</c><00:15:54.360><c> the</c><00:15:54.480><c> moment</c><00:15:54.679><c> when</c><00:15:54.840><c> we</c>

00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:55.600
were<00:15:55.279><c> there</c>

00:15:55.600 --> 00:16:02.519
But<00:15:56.159><c> its</c><00:15:56.700><c> water</c><00:15:57.519><c> came</c><00:15:58.360><c> from</c><00:15:58.519><c> the</c><00:15:58.659><c> mountain,</c><00:15:59.840><c> it</c><00:15:59.840><c> was</c><00:16:00.179><c> icy</c><00:16:00.519><c> cold,</c><00:16:01.679><c> very</c><00:16:01.940><c> refreshing</c>

00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:06.320
So<00:16:03.519><c> here</c><00:16:03.840><c> you</c><00:16:03.980><c> can</c><00:16:04.220><c> see</c><00:16:04.440><c> the</c><00:16:05.000><c> water,</c><00:16:05.440><c> it's</c><00:16:05.639><c> a</c><00:16:05.740><c> tributary</c><00:16:06.120><c> of</c>

00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:07.080
the<00:16:06.539><c> Lycus</c><00:16:06.820><c> valley</c>

00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:12.480
This<00:16:07.500><c> was</c><00:16:07.659><c> the</c><00:16:07.899><c> water</c><00:16:08.120><c> supply</c><00:16:08.700><c> for</c><00:16:09.320><c> Colossus,</c><00:16:10.220><c> ice</c><00:16:10.620><c> cold,</c><00:16:11.360><c> refreshing</c><00:16:11.879><c> to</c><00:16:12.200><c> drink</c>

00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:17.480
When<00:16:12.940><c> you</c><00:16:13.059><c> get</c><00:16:13.200><c> a</c><00:16:13.460><c> drink</c><00:16:13.860><c> you</c><00:16:14.299><c> want</c><00:16:14.460><c> to</c><00:16:14.580><c> have</c><00:16:15.139><c> a</c><00:16:15.620><c> nice</c><00:16:16.980><c> glass</c><00:16:17.220><c> of</c>

00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:20.120
cold<00:16:17.779><c> water</c><00:16:18.240><c> or</c><00:16:18.840><c> a</c><00:16:19.100><c> hot</c><00:16:19.399><c> cup</c><00:16:19.600><c> of</c><00:16:19.840><c> tea</c>

00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:24.000
But<00:16:20.480><c> you</c><00:16:20.620><c> don't</c><00:16:20.720><c> want</c><00:16:21.000><c> a</c><00:16:21.259><c> lukewarm</c><00:16:21.720><c> cup</c><00:16:22.000><c> of</c><00:16:22.179><c> coffee,</c><00:16:23.059><c> it's</c><00:16:23.279><c> distasteful</c>

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:28.940
So<00:16:24.779><c> obviously</c><00:16:25.480><c> they</c><00:16:25.700><c> were</c><00:16:25.820><c> cold,</c><00:16:26.399><c> like</c><00:16:26.500><c> these</c><00:16:26.679><c> refreshing</c><00:16:27.240><c> waters</c><00:16:27.700><c> of</c><00:16:28.460><c> Colossus</c>

00:16:28.940 --> 00:16:33.840
But<00:16:29.460><c> then</c><00:16:30.000><c> from</c><00:16:30.220><c> this</c><00:16:30.500><c> theater</c><00:16:31.019><c> in</c><00:16:31.779><c> Laodicea</c><00:16:32.779><c> you</c><00:16:33.139><c> can</c><00:16:33.360><c> look</c>

00:19:09.579 --> 00:19:13.160
So<00:19:10.099><c> they</c><00:19:10.359><c> were</c><00:19:10.599><c> very</c><00:19:11.000><c> wealthy</c><00:19:11.359><c> also,</c><00:19:11.839><c> but</c><00:19:12.079><c> it</c><00:19:12.359><c> affected</c><00:19:12.759><c> their</c>

00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:18.140
They<00:19:14.740><c> were</c><00:19:14.900><c> rich</c><00:19:15.079><c> in</c><00:19:15.220><c> their</c><00:19:15.480><c> own</c><00:19:15.700><c> eyes,</c><00:19:16.019><c> but</c><00:19:16.259><c> blind</c><00:19:16.579><c> to</c><00:19:16.819><c> the</c><00:19:16.960><c> things</c><00:19:17.160><c> of</c><00:19:17.440><c> God</c>

00:19:18.140 --> 00:19:22.180
So<00:19:18.559><c> Jesus</c><00:19:18.819><c> prefers</c><00:19:19.640><c> people</c><00:19:20.299><c> that</c><00:19:20.539><c> are</c><00:19:20.859><c> poor</c><00:19:21.200><c> in</c><00:19:21.460><c> the</c><00:19:21.700><c> eyes</c><00:19:21.940><c> of</c>

00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:29.000
But<00:19:24.460><c> when</c><00:19:24.579><c> he</c><00:19:24.619><c> spoke</c><00:19:24.839><c> of</c><00:19:25.000><c> gold,</c><00:19:25.460><c> he</c><00:19:25.460><c> knew</c><00:19:26.099><c> what</c><00:19:26.660><c> he</c><00:19:27.519><c> was</c><00:19:27.740><c> talking</c><00:19:28.019><c> about</c>

00:19:35.579 --> 00:19:39.700
Well,<00:19:36.619><c> they</c><00:19:36.700><c> were</c><00:19:36.779><c> described</c><00:19:37.200><c> as</c><00:19:37.380><c> being</c><00:19:37.720><c> wretched</c><00:19:37.980><c> and</c><00:19:38.420><c> pitiful</c><00:19:38.859><c> and</c><00:19:39.299><c> blind</c>

Take<00:21:24.059><c> the</c><00:21:24.359><c> word</c><00:21:24.559><c> of</c><00:21:25.039><c> truth</c><00:21:25.180><c> that</c><00:21:25.380><c> comes</c><00:21:25.599><c> out</c><00:21:25.880><c> of</c><00:21:26.000><c> the</c><00:21:26.180><c> mouth</c><00:21:26.420><c> of</c><00:21:26.619><c> Jesus</c>

00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.339
Put<00:21:27.119><c> it</c><00:21:27.220><c> on</c><00:21:27.319><c> your</c><00:21:27.579><c> eyes</c><00:21:28.160><c> so</c><00:21:28.480><c> you</c><00:21:28.599><c> can</c><00:21:28.839><c> actually</c><00:21:29.259><c> properly</c><00:21:29.720><c> see,</c>

00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:31.980
spiritually<00:21:31.019><c> see</c>

00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:35.019
But<00:21:32.579><c> the</c><00:21:32.779><c> believers</c><00:21:32.960><c> did</c><00:21:33.200><c> not</c><00:21:33.380><c> realize</c><00:21:33.880><c> that</c><00:21:34.019><c> they</c><00:21:34.160><c> were</c><00:21:34.359><c> naked</c><00:21:34.700><c> and</c>

00:21:35.019 --> 00:21:37.519
they<00:21:35.019><c> were</c><00:21:35.359><c> poor</c><00:21:35.740><c> and</c><00:21:36.140><c> they</c><00:21:36.200><c> were</c><00:21:36.519><c> blind</c>

00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.039
Despite,<00:21:38.400><c> and</c><00:21:38.559><c> they</c><00:21:38.640><c> were</c><00:21:38.859><c> naked</c><00:21:39.180><c> because</c><00:21:40.079><c> actually</c><00:21:40.759><c> the</c>

00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:41.519
area<00:21:41.180><c> produced</c>

00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:47.079
the<00:21:41.740><c> beautiful</c><00:21:42.299><c> garments</c><00:21:42.779><c> from</c><00:21:43.200><c> black</c><00:21:43.579><c> wool</c><00:21:43.859><c> that</c><00:21:44.000><c> was</c><00:21:44.559><c> highly</c><00:21:45.019><c> prized,</c><00:21:45.440><c> especially</c><00:21:45.900><c> in</c><00:21:46.759><c> Rome</c>

00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.900
So<00:21:47.559><c> Jesus</c><00:21:47.960><c> knew</c><00:21:48.400><c> exactly</c><00:21:49.019><c> their</c><00:21:49.180><c> situations</c>

00:21:49.900 --> 00:21:52.079
They<00:21:50.440><c> knew</c><00:21:50.640><c> how</c><00:21:51.059><c> wealthy</c><00:21:51.339><c> they</c><00:21:51.660><c> were</c>

00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:55.299
They<00:21:52.440><c> knew</c><00:21:52.640><c> how</c><00:21:53.400><c> lukewarm</c><00:21:53.740><c> and</c><00:21:53.920><c> how</c><00:21:54.279><c> blind</c><00:21:54.539><c> they</c><00:21:54.819><c> were</c>

00:21:55.299 --> 00:21:57.740
Despite<00:21:55.859><c> the</c><00:21:56.079><c> fact</c><00:21:56.180><c> that</c><00:21:56.319><c> they</c><00:21:56.480><c> were</c><00:21:56.640><c> in</c><00:21:56.980><c> a</c><00:21:57.059><c> center</c><00:21:57.259><c> that</c><00:21:57.480><c> was</c>

00:21:57.740 --> 00:21:58.359
very<00:21:58.039><c> rich</c>

00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:02.220
and<00:21:58.759><c> that</c><00:21:58.940><c> was</c><00:21:59.220><c> a</c><00:21:59.519><c> very</c><00:21:59.799><c> famous</c><00:22:00.299><c> center</c><00:22:00.799><c> for</c><00:22:01.539><c> health</c>

00:22:02.220 --> 00:22:08.660
And<00:22:03.279><c> therefore</c><00:22:03.700><c> Jesus</c><00:22:04.640><c> says,</c><00:22:05.880><c> I</c><00:22:05.880><c> stand</c><00:22:06.500><c> at</c><00:22:06.920><c> a</c><00:22:07.099><c> door</c><00:22:07.460><c> and</c><00:22:08.299><c> knock</c>

00:22:08.660 --> 00:22:12.119
Well,<00:22:09.480><c> he</c><00:22:09.559><c> doesn't</c><00:22:09.740><c> stand</c><00:22:10.059><c> at</c><00:22:10.339><c> literal</c><00:22:10.640><c> doors</c><00:22:11.200><c> and</c><00:22:11.660><c> knocking</c><00:22:11.880><c> there</c>

00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:15.460
but<00:22:12.279><c> he</c><00:22:12.920><c> knocks</c><00:22:13.319><c> at</c><00:22:13.920><c> the</c><00:22:14.119><c> door</c><00:22:14.579><c> of</c><00:22:14.819><c> our</c><00:22:15.079><c> heart</c>

00:22:15.460 --> 00:22:18.980
And<00:22:16.259><c> he</c><00:22:16.440><c> wants</c><00:22:16.759><c> us</c><00:22:17.160><c> to</c><00:22:17.440><c> hear</c><00:22:17.900><c> his</c><00:22:18.480><c> voice</c>

00:22:18.980 --> 00:22:24.160
He<00:22:19.720><c> wants</c><00:22:19.960><c> to</c><00:22:20.240><c> react</c><00:22:20.700><c> in</c><00:22:21.299><c> a</c><00:22:21.619><c> hot</c><00:22:21.799><c> way,</c><00:22:22.380><c> in</c><00:22:22.640><c> a</c><00:22:22.759><c> cold</c><00:22:22.980><c> way,</c><00:22:23.460><c> but</c><00:22:23.599><c> not</c><00:22:23.880><c> in</c>

00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:25.759
a<00:22:24.440><c> lukewarm</c><00:22:24.859><c> way</c>

00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:29.440
It<00:22:26.099><c> is</c><00:22:26.799><c> despicable,</c><00:22:27.859><c> distasteful</c>

00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:33.859
So<00:22:30.079><c> when</c><00:22:30.299><c> we</c><00:22:30.420><c> read</c><00:22:31.259><c> the</c><00:22:31.480><c> Bible,</c><00:22:32.460><c> the</c><00:22:32.579><c> word</c><00:22:32.779><c> of</c><00:22:33.000><c> God,</c><00:22:33.299><c> we</c><00:22:33.539><c> listen</c>

00:22:33.859 --> 00:22:34.700
to<00:22:34.059><c> his</c><00:22:34.220><c> voice</c>

00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:40.059
And<00:22:35.180><c> we</c><00:22:35.299><c> need</c><00:22:35.480><c> to</c><00:22:35.660><c> respond</c><00:22:36.420><c> to</c><00:22:37.140><c> that</c><00:22:37.720><c> word</c><00:22:38.240><c> by</c><00:22:38.740><c> opening</c><00:22:39.200><c> up</c><00:22:39.779><c> our</c>

00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:48.460
And<00:22:42.940><c> so</c><00:22:45.019><c> after</c><00:22:45.400><c> having</c><00:22:45.799><c> delivered</c><00:22:46.119><c> that</c><00:22:46.339><c> letter,</c><00:22:47.619><c> the</c><00:22:47.779><c> Apostle</c><00:22:48.140><c> John</c>

because<00:22:58.000><c> you</c><00:22:58.420><c> can</c><00:22:58.799><c> see</c><00:22:59.460><c> this</c><00:22:59.839><c> little</c><00:23:00.119><c> valley,</c><00:23:00.480><c> we</c><00:23:00.480><c> are</c><00:23:00.599><c> still</c>

There<00:23:02.579><c> was</c><00:23:02.839><c> a</c><00:23:02.980><c> straight</c><00:23:03.519><c> line</c><00:23:04.019><c> coming</c><00:23:04.640><c> through</c><00:23:05.119><c> this</c><00:23:05.460><c> valley</c><00:23:05.640><c> here</c>

00:23:06.099 --> 00:23:10.980
And<00:23:06.539><c> then</c><00:23:07.019><c> this</c><00:23:07.220><c> was</c><00:23:07.440><c> the</c><00:23:07.579><c> city</c><00:23:07.839><c> gate</c><00:23:08.019><c> which</c><00:23:08.640><c> led</c><00:23:08.880><c> out</c><00:23:09.460><c> to</c><00:23:09.980><c> Ephesus</c><00:23:10.559><c> on</c>

00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:13.660
That<00:23:11.940><c> was</c><00:23:12.220><c> the</c><00:23:12.420><c> longest</c><00:23:12.799><c> journey</c><00:23:13.200><c> of</c><00:23:13.440><c> all</c>

00:23:13.660 --> 00:23:17.119
And<00:23:14.420><c> so</c><00:23:14.819><c> here</c><00:23:15.279><c> we</c><00:23:15.579><c> see,</c><00:23:16.019><c> we</c><00:23:16.180><c> are</c><00:23:16.200><c> still</c><00:23:16.339><c> in</c><00:23:16.539><c> Laodicea</c>

00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:19.640

00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:29.359
You<00:23:27.299><c> would</c><00:23:27.420><c> have</c><00:23:27.480><c> left</c><00:23:27.700><c> the</c><00:23:27.940><c> gate,</c><00:23:28.420><c> go</c><00:23:28.559><c> over</c><00:23:28.859><c> the</c><00:23:29.059><c> bridge,</c>

Lo,<00:26:40.180><c> Yahweh,</c><00:26:40.559><c> thou</c><00:26:40.680><c> knowest</c><00:26:41.019><c> it</c><00:26:41.279><c> all</c><00:26:41.559><c> together</c>
