is<00:00:27.420><c> the</c><00:00:27.620><c> fact</c><00:00:27.879><c> that</c><00:00:28.679><c> there</c><00:00:28.960><c> is</c><00:00:30.239><c> a</c><00:00:30.660><c> differentiation</c><00:00:31.379><c> or</c><00:00:32.079><c> a</c><00:00:32.399><c> difference</c><00:00:32.740><c> in</c>

00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.500
And<00:00:35.619><c> why</c><00:00:35.939><c> is</c><00:00:36.159><c> it</c><00:00:36.380><c> so</c><00:00:36.679><c> hard</c><00:00:36.920><c> to</c><00:00:37.840><c> have</c><00:00:38.060><c> a</c><00:00:38.439><c> definite</c><00:00:38.780><c> chronology</c>

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:44.380
Well,<00:00:41.479><c> there's</c><00:00:41.700><c> a</c><00:00:41.880><c> divine</c><00:00:42.179><c> reason</c><00:00:42.579><c> for</c><00:00:42.820><c> this.</c>

Mainly<00:00:45.439><c> is</c><00:00:45.859><c> that</c><00:00:46.039><c> it's</c><00:00:46.759><c> a</c><00:00:46.899><c> mark</c><00:00:47.060><c> of</c><00:00:47.340><c> divinity.</c>

00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.119
It's<00:00:48.000><c> a</c><00:00:48.119><c> mark</c><00:00:48.259><c> of</c><00:00:48.579><c> inspiration,</c><00:00:49.219><c> really.</c>

00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.560

00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.379
But<00:01:10.879><c> you</c><00:01:11.040><c> see,</c><00:01:11.159><c> it's</c><00:01:11.400><c> not</c><00:01:11.620><c> meant</c><00:01:11.819><c> to</c><00:01:12.040><c> be</c><00:01:12.180><c> that</c><00:01:12.480><c> way.</c>

00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.840
Could<00:01:22.120><c> anybody</c><00:01:22.760><c> tell</c><00:01:23.280><c> me</c><00:01:23.620><c> how</c><00:01:24.019><c> old</c><00:01:24.480><c> Adam</c><00:01:24.900><c> and</c><00:01:25.159><c> Eve</c><00:01:25.319><c> were</c><00:01:25.659><c> when</c>

00:03:55.780 --> 00:03:59.120
You<00:03:56.000><c> can</c><00:03:56.300><c> check</c><00:03:56.580><c> Genesis</c><00:03:57.099><c> and</c><00:03:57.300><c> you</c><00:03:57.479><c> will</c><00:03:57.780><c> find</c><00:03:58.199><c> from</c><00:03:58.699><c> the</c><00:03:58.879><c> day</c>

00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:19.120

00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:48.360

00:05:48.779 --> 00:05:53.399
And<00:05:49.579><c> this</c><00:05:49.980><c> earth</c><00:05:50.360><c> was</c><00:05:50.720><c> completely</c><00:05:51.579><c> immersed</c><00:05:52.180><c> in</c><00:05:52.459><c> water.</c>

00:05:54.180 --> 00:05:57.579
Actually<00:05:54.639><c> that</c><00:05:55.120><c> earth</c><00:05:55.579><c> was</c><00:05:55.980><c> baptized.</c>

00:05:57.939 --> 00:05:59.959
Now<00:05:58.160><c> this</c><00:05:58.379><c> is</c><00:05:58.560><c> Peter's</c><00:05:59.040><c> argument.</c>

00:06:01.379 --> 00:06:05.540

00:06:16.420 --> 00:06:19.959
And<00:06:17.100><c> that's</c><00:06:17.540><c> exactly</c><00:06:18.000><c> what</c><00:06:18.360><c> happened</c><00:06:18.620><c> in</c><00:06:18.819><c> the</c><00:06:19.060><c> flood.</c>

00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.899
The<00:06:20.920><c> flood</c><00:06:21.139><c> completely</c><00:06:21.860><c> baptized</c><00:06:22.519><c> the</c><00:06:22.879><c> earth</c><00:06:23.040><c> and</c><00:06:23.399><c> sinners</c>

were<00:06:24.319><c> destroyed.</c>

00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:33.839
Now<00:06:30.000><c> thirdly,</c><00:06:31.300><c> baptism</c><00:06:31.759><c> represents</c><00:06:32.660><c> a</c><00:06:32.980><c> death.</c>

00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.000
It<00:06:35.319><c> represents</c><00:06:35.759><c> a</c><00:06:36.120><c> burial.</c>

00:06:37.740 --> 00:06:40.019
It<00:06:38.079><c> represents</c><00:06:38.519><c> a</c><00:06:38.819><c> resurrection.</c>

00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:43.439
That's<00:06:41.519><c> what</c><00:06:41.819><c> happened</c><00:06:42.100><c> in</c><00:06:42.319><c> the</c><00:06:42.579><c> flood.</c>

00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:48.259
A<00:06:44.160><c> death,</c><00:06:45.639><c> a</c><00:06:45.819><c> burial,</c><00:06:46.899><c> and</c><00:06:47.160><c> resurrection.</c>

00:06:49.420 --> 00:06:51.199
We<00:06:49.759><c> started</c><00:06:50.220><c> new.</c>

00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.220

That's<00:06:57.000><c> exactly</c><00:06:57.519><c> what</c><00:06:57.899><c> happened</c><00:06:58.199><c> to</c><00:06:58.439><c> the</c><00:06:58.620><c> earth.</c>

00:07:01.420 --> 00:07:06.000

00:08:23.379 --> 00:08:24.240

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.699
that<00:08:24.720><c> is</c><00:08:25.180><c> a</c><00:08:25.279><c> source</c><00:08:25.540><c> of</c><00:08:25.819><c> exhortation</c><00:08:26.399><c> to</c><00:08:26.639><c> us.</c>

00:08:28.540 --> 00:08:30.740
You<00:08:28.699><c> remember</c><00:08:29.000><c> when</c><00:08:29.160><c> we</c><00:08:29.379><c> come</c><00:08:29.579><c> into</c><00:08:29.800><c> the</c><00:08:29.899><c> book</c><00:08:30.100><c> of</c><00:08:30.240><c> the</c><00:08:30.420><c> Genesis</c>

00:08:30.740 --> 00:08:35.159
that<00:08:31.060><c> we</c><00:08:31.300><c> read</c><00:08:32.080><c> that</c><00:08:32.620><c> the</c><00:08:32.879><c> sons</c><00:08:33.159><c> of</c><00:08:33.500><c> God</c><00:08:33.960><c> saw</c><00:08:34.539><c> the</c><00:08:34.820><c> daughters</c>

00:08:45.379 --> 00:08:48.480
it<00:08:45.500><c> is</c><00:08:45.779><c> unfounded</c><00:08:46.259><c> completely,</c><00:08:47.220><c> that</c><00:08:47.440><c> these</c><00:08:47.700><c> sons</c><00:08:47.980><c> of</c><00:08:48.179><c> God</c>

Now<00:13:30.940><c> before</c><00:13:31.240><c> we</c><00:13:31.419><c> go</c><00:13:31.740><c> on</c><00:13:31.980><c> to</c><00:13:32.259><c> this</c><00:13:32.919><c> dawn</c><00:13:33.159><c> of</c><00:13:33.340><c> a</c><00:13:33.440><c> new</c><00:13:33.580><c> creation,</c>

00:13:36.379 --> 00:13:39.720
Because<00:13:36.700><c> we're</c><00:13:36.860><c> going</c><00:13:37.080><c> to</c><00:13:37.200><c> go</c><00:13:37.480><c> slowly</c><00:13:37.840><c> and</c><00:13:38.519><c> watch</c><00:13:38.879><c> the</c><00:13:39.100><c> nations</c><00:13:39.419><c> of</c><00:13:39.600><c> the</c>

00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:43.440
What<00:13:41.440><c> an</c><00:13:41.700><c> interesting</c><00:13:42.080><c> thing</c><00:13:42.340><c> that</c><00:13:42.559><c> is</c><00:13:42.740><c> when</c><00:13:42.879><c> we</c><00:13:43.059><c> come</c><00:13:43.220><c> to</c><00:13:43.379><c> the</c>

tenth<00:13:43.700><c> chapter.</c>

00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:48.059
We're<00:13:45.039><c> also</c><00:13:45.360><c> going</c><00:13:45.679><c> to</c><00:13:45.840><c> look</c><00:13:46.039><c> at</c><00:13:46.299><c> Noah's</c><00:13:46.779><c> sin</c><00:13:46.899><c> for</c><00:13:47.120><c> a</c><00:13:47.340><c> moment.</c>

00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:50.580
But<00:13:48.480><c> I</c><00:13:48.620><c> want</c><00:13:48.759><c> us</c><00:13:48.899><c> to</c><00:13:48.940><c> go</c><00:13:49.179><c> back</c><00:13:49.360><c> for</c><00:13:49.600><c> just</c><00:13:49.860><c> a</c><00:13:50.059><c> moment</c><00:13:50.240><c> and</c><00:13:50.379><c> look</c>

at<00:13:50.740><c> that</c><00:13:51.059><c> ark.</c>

00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:56.080
Because<00:13:52.740><c> that</c><00:13:53.100><c> ark</c><00:13:53.379><c> is</c><00:13:53.620><c> much</c><00:13:53.980><c> more</c><00:13:54.360><c> class</c><00:13:54.740><c> than</c><00:13:54.960><c> that</c><00:13:55.360><c> boat</c><00:13:55.559><c> that's</c><00:13:55.919><c> on</c>

00:13:58.659 --> 00:14:01.600
There's<00:13:58.899><c> no</c><00:13:59.159><c> question,</c><00:13:59.659><c> in</c><00:13:59.940><c> our</c><00:14:00.179><c> mind</c><00:14:00.440><c> at</c><00:14:00.639><c> least,</c><00:14:01.240><c> but</c><00:14:01.460><c> what</c>

it<00:14:01.779><c> is</c><00:14:01.960><c> there.</c>

00:14:02.820 --> 00:14:08.940
So<00:14:03.299><c> when</c><00:14:03.539><c> we</c><00:14:03.700><c> come</c><00:14:03.919><c> to</c><00:14:04.120><c> that</c><00:14:04.340><c> ark,</c><00:14:06.039><c> we</c><00:14:06.139><c> find</c><00:14:06.379><c> first</c><00:14:06.759><c> of</c><00:14:06.960><c> all</c><00:14:07.600><c> that</c><00:14:08.700><c> it</c>

00:14:08.940 --> 00:14:11.139
was<00:14:09.279><c> a</c><00:14:09.460><c> divine</c><00:14:09.940><c> provision.</c>

00:14:11.860 --> 00:14:14.220
Has<00:14:12.100><c> you</c><00:14:12.259><c> ever</c><00:14:12.539><c> stopped</c><00:14:12.799><c> to</c><00:14:13.019><c> think</c><00:14:13.159><c> what</c><00:14:13.340><c> it</c><00:14:13.480><c> would</c><00:14:13.620><c> have</c><00:14:13.779><c> happened</c><00:14:14.000><c> to</c>

00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:15.100
Noah<00:14:14.379><c> and</c><00:14:14.559><c> his</c><00:14:14.740><c> family</c>

00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:18.159
had<00:14:15.340><c> God</c><00:14:15.679><c> not</c><00:14:16.440><c> provided</c><00:14:16.919><c> an</c><00:14:17.279><c> ark?</c>

00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:21.379
And<00:14:18.759><c> we</c><00:14:18.919><c> have</c><00:14:19.080><c> the</c><00:14:19.279><c> glorious</c><00:14:19.659><c> counterpart</c><00:14:20.240><c> of</c><00:14:20.440><c> that,</c><00:14:20.779><c> of</c><00:14:20.960><c> course,</c><00:14:21.259><c> in</c>

00:14:21.379 --> 00:14:22.919
Revelation<00:14:21.840><c> 13</c><00:14:22.399><c> and</c><00:14:22.620><c> 8,</c>

00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:26.580
where<00:14:23.379><c> we</c><00:14:23.580><c> are</c><00:14:23.779><c> told</c><00:14:24.000><c> that</c><00:14:24.320><c> God</c><00:14:24.659><c> has</c><00:14:24.980><c> provided</c><00:14:25.379><c> us</c><00:14:25.720><c> an</c><00:14:25.899><c> ark</c><00:14:26.039><c> of</c><00:14:26.279><c> safety,</c>

00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:29.960
where<00:14:27.100><c> He</c><00:14:27.379><c> has</c><00:14:27.679><c> given</c><00:14:27.980><c> us</c><00:14:28.480><c> a</c><00:14:28.580><c> way</c><00:14:28.779><c> of</c><00:14:29.059><c> escape.</c>

00:14:29.950 --> 00:14:31.759
Now<00:14:30.379><c> note</c><00:14:30.840><c> the</c><00:14:31.200><c> analogy.</c>

00:14:31.980 --> 00:14:35.399
The<00:14:32.299><c> analogy</c><00:14:32.759><c> is</c><00:14:33.259><c> absolutely</c><00:14:34.080><c> perfect.</c>

00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:42.080
God<00:14:37.480><c> provided</c><00:14:38.419><c> only</c><00:14:40.360><c> the</c><00:14:40.759><c> knowledge.</c>

00:14:43.179 --> 00:14:44.820
Now<00:14:43.580><c> remember</c><00:14:43.799><c> that.</c>

00:14:45.220 --> 00:14:48.480
God<00:14:45.480><c> didn't</c><00:14:45.779><c> build</c><00:14:46.019><c> the</c><00:14:46.299><c> ark</c><00:14:46.419><c> for</c><00:14:46.740><c> Noah,</c><00:14:47.480><c> did</c><00:14:47.620><c> He?</c>

00:14:48.820 --> 00:14:51.320
He<00:14:49.179><c> did</c><00:14:49.519><c> not</c><00:14:49.820><c> build</c><00:14:50.080><c> that</c><00:14:50.419><c> ark.</c>

00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:56.480
God<00:14:52.080><c> provided</c><00:14:53.220><c> the</c><00:14:53.860><c> knowledge,</c><00:14:54.500><c> and</c><00:14:54.759><c> that's</c><00:14:55.019><c> so</c><00:14:55.500><c> important,</c>

00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.440
Now<00:15:02.419><c> if</c><00:15:02.659><c> Noah</c><00:15:02.879><c> had</c><00:15:03.259><c> not</c><00:15:03.659><c> used</c><00:15:04.059><c> that</c><00:15:04.399><c> knowledge,</c>

00:15:13.500 --> 00:15:15.299
what<00:15:14.120><c> would</c><00:15:14.320><c> have</c><00:15:14.480><c> happened?</c>

00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:17.759
He<00:15:16.059><c> would</c><00:15:16.259><c> have</c><00:15:16.399><c> been</c><00:15:16.600><c> destroyed,</c><00:15:17.539><c> wouldn't</c><00:15:17.539><c> He?</c>

00:15:18.019 --> 00:15:20.200
I<00:15:18.159><c> want</c><00:15:18.360><c> you</c><00:15:18.539><c> to</c><00:15:18.700><c> look</c><00:15:18.840><c> with</c><00:15:19.000><c> me</c><00:15:19.179><c> for</c><00:15:19.399><c> just</c><00:15:19.679><c> a</c><00:15:19.899><c> moment</c>

00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:23.159
to<00:15:20.500><c> the</c><00:15:20.700><c> glorious</c><00:15:21.080><c> counterpart</c><00:15:21.480><c> of</c><00:15:21.720><c> that</c><00:15:21.980><c> in</c><00:15:22.200><c> 2</c><00:15:22.500><c> Corinthians</c>

00:15:24.659 --> 00:15:28.279
And<00:15:25.320><c> the</c><00:15:25.759><c> analogy</c><00:15:26.240><c> is</c><00:15:26.740><c> absolutely</c><00:15:27.240><c> perfect.</c>

00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.559
Never<00:15:33.899><c> let</c><00:15:34.139><c> us</c><00:15:34.360><c> forget</c><00:15:34.759><c> the</c><00:15:35.080><c> significance</c><00:15:35.879><c> and</c><00:15:36.840><c> the</c><00:15:37.320><c> meaning</c>

00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:38.379
of<00:15:37.879><c> this</c><00:15:38.240><c> ark.</c>

00:15:38.419 --> 00:15:41.000
And<00:15:38.759><c> remember,</c><00:15:39.460><c> the</c><00:15:39.679><c> ark</c><00:15:39.899><c> was</c><00:15:40.159><c> there</c><00:15:40.440><c> to</c><00:15:40.779><c> save.</c>

00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:42.700
It<00:15:41.240><c> wasn't</c><00:15:41.580><c> for</c><00:15:41.779><c> any</c><00:15:42.039><c> other</c><00:15:42.299><c> purpose.</c>

00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.059
It<00:15:42.860><c> was</c><00:15:43.159><c> not</c><00:15:43.639><c> for</c><00:15:43.919><c> navigation.</c>

00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.559
The<00:15:45.519><c> ark</c><00:15:45.759><c> was</c><00:15:46.019><c> simply</c><00:15:46.480><c> for</c><00:15:46.940><c> quotation,</c>

00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:46.779
I<00:18:45.259><c> am</c><00:18:45.460><c> doing</c><00:18:45.759><c> that.</c>

So<00:18:47.380><c> God</c><00:18:47.799><c> instructs</c><00:18:48.660><c> Noah</c><00:18:48.900><c> to</c><00:18:49.460><c> take</c><00:18:49.859><c> God's</c><00:18:50.599><c> creation</c>

00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:57.519
Now,<00:18:55.180><c> before</c><00:18:55.579><c> Noah</c><00:18:55.980><c> could</c><00:18:56.319><c> take</c><00:18:56.619><c> God's</c><00:18:57.220><c> creation</c>

Now,<00:19:07.359><c> that's</c><00:19:07.759><c> interesting.</c>

00:19:08.980 --> 00:19:11.660
That<00:19:09.359><c> tree</c><00:19:09.720><c> had</c><00:19:10.119><c> to</c><00:19:10.420><c> die</c>

00:23:50.099 --> 00:23:52.640
Bear<00:23:50.299><c> in</c><00:23:50.619><c> mind</c><00:23:50.940><c> that</c><00:23:51.160><c> the</c><00:23:51.380><c> thing</c><00:23:51.539><c> that</c><00:23:51.859><c> caused</c><00:23:52.140><c> the</c><00:23:52.380><c> trouble</c>

00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.940
in<00:23:52.859><c> the</c><00:23:52.980><c> days</c><00:23:53.220><c> of</c><00:23:53.500><c> Noah</c><00:23:53.819><c> was</c><00:23:54.500><c> the</c><00:23:54.799><c> vast</c><00:23:55.380><c> population</c><00:23:56.240><c> explosion.</c>

00:23:57.059 --> 00:23:58.599
It<00:23:57.180><c> was</c><00:23:57.440><c> everywhere.</c>

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:02.799
And<00:24:00.119><c> men</c><00:24:00.259><c> were</c><00:24:00.480><c> thinking</c><00:24:00.700><c> about</c><00:24:01.039><c> everything</c><00:24:01.519><c> but</c><00:24:01.799><c> God.</c>

00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:04.819
They<00:24:03.099><c> turned</c><00:24:03.500><c> away</c><00:24:03.819><c> from</c><00:24:04.019><c> him</c><00:24:04.240><c> completely.</c>

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:08.019
They<00:24:05.539><c> were</c><00:24:05.839><c> absorbed</c><00:24:06.279><c> in</c><00:24:06.460><c> their</c><00:24:06.720><c> own</c><00:24:07.079><c> pleasure.</c>

00:24:09.539 --> 00:24:11.579
Now,<00:24:09.940><c> in</c><00:24:10.039><c> the</c><00:24:10.119><c> midst</c><00:24:10.319><c> of</c><00:24:10.539><c> a</c><00:24:10.640><c> condition</c><00:24:11.019><c> like</c><00:24:11.339><c> that,</c>

00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:15.000
Isaiah<00:24:12.039><c> tells</c><00:24:12.380><c> us</c><00:24:12.859><c> that</c><00:24:13.079><c> we're</c><00:24:13.339><c> going</c><00:24:13.500><c> to</c><00:24:13.700><c> receive</c><00:24:13.920><c> the</c><00:24:14.180><c> call.</c>

00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.059
Look<00:24:15.640><c> at</c><00:24:15.819><c> this</c><00:24:15.960><c> small</c><00:24:16.259><c> group</c><00:24:16.500><c> here</c><00:24:16.700><c> this</c><00:24:16.960><c> afternoon.</c>

00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:20.440
Separated<00:24:19.099><c> from</c><00:24:19.279><c> the</c><00:24:19.500><c> world,</c>

00:24:20.740 --> 00:24:24.400
we<00:24:20.819><c> could</c><00:24:21.019><c> be</c><00:24:21.279><c> very</c><00:24:21.880><c> well</c><00:24:22.619><c> likened</c><00:24:23.079><c> unto</c><00:24:23.400><c> those</c><00:24:23.880><c> eight</c>

00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:26.640
who<00:24:25.180><c> went</c><00:24:25.319><c> into</c><00:24:25.519><c> that</c><00:24:25.859><c> ark.</c>

00:24:26.940 --> 00:24:29.000
God<00:24:27.299><c> never</c><00:24:27.819><c> deals</c><00:24:28.220><c> with</c><00:24:28.519><c> quantities.</c>

00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:30.019
Remember<00:24:29.559><c> that.</c>

00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:31.680
So<00:24:30.559><c> many</c><00:24:30.880><c> times</c><00:24:31.259><c> we're</c><00:24:31.460><c> asked,</c>

00:24:31.819 --> 00:24:33.180
well,<00:24:31.920><c> why</c><00:24:32.019><c> aren't</c><00:24:32.259><c> the</c><00:24:32.460><c> Christ</c><00:24:32.700><c> of</c><00:24:32.799><c> Delphiens</c>

00:24:33.180 --> 00:24:34.500
a<00:24:33.380><c> large</c><00:24:33.740><c> group</c><00:24:33.980><c> of</c><00:24:34.240><c> people?</c>

00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:36.759
God<00:24:35.160><c> has</c><00:24:35.359><c> never</c><00:24:35.599><c> operated</c><00:24:36.000><c> like</c><00:24:36.319><c> that</c><00:24:36.480><c> before.</c>

00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:38.920
Why<00:24:37.019><c> should</c><00:24:37.240><c> he</c><00:24:37.420><c> operate</c><00:24:37.660><c> like</c><00:24:37.920><c> that</c><00:24:38.079><c> now?</c>

00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:41.940
God's<00:24:40.000><c> never</c><00:24:40.319><c> appealed</c><00:24:40.680><c> to</c><00:24:40.859><c> the</c><00:24:41.039><c> masses.</c>

00:24:42.140 --> 00:24:42.920
Straight<00:24:42.319><c> as</c><00:24:42.539><c> the</c><00:24:42.720><c> gate,</c>

00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:45.319
narrow<00:24:43.220><c> as</c><00:24:43.480><c> the</c><00:24:43.640><c> way</c><00:24:43.799><c> that</c><00:24:44.019><c> leads</c><00:24:44.220><c> to</c><00:24:44.440><c> life,</c>

00:24:45.420 --> 00:24:46.759
and<00:24:45.579><c> few</c><00:24:45.720><c> there</c><00:24:45.940><c> be</c><00:24:46.079><c> that</c><00:24:46.359><c> find</c><00:24:46.559><c> it.</c>

00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:47.740
Why?

00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:50.799
Because<00:24:48.700><c> it's</c><00:24:48.900><c> not</c><00:24:49.140><c> an</c><00:24:49.339><c> easy</c><00:24:49.660><c> path</c><00:24:50.000><c> to</c><00:24:50.299><c> travel.</c>

00:24:50.980 --> 00:24:51.839
That's<00:24:51.299><c> why.</c>

00:24:52.019 --> 00:24:55.039
The<00:24:52.279><c> easiest</c><00:24:52.559><c> path</c><00:24:52.920><c> is</c><00:24:53.140><c> to</c><00:24:53.299><c> let</c><00:24:53.500><c> yourself</c><00:24:53.960><c> go.</c>

00:24:55.660 --> 00:24:57.440
I'm<00:24:55.940><c> sure</c><00:24:56.160><c> in</c><00:24:56.299><c> this</c><00:24:56.420><c> very</c><00:24:56.740><c> warm</c><00:24:56.940><c> afternoon</c>

00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:58.759
it'd<00:24:57.720><c> be</c><00:24:57.880><c> much</c><00:24:58.160><c> more</c><00:24:58.480><c> pleasant</c>

00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:00.880
out<00:24:58.980><c> the</c><00:24:59.140><c> ocean</c><00:24:59.500><c> would</c><00:24:59.720><c> be</c><00:24:59.960><c> here.</c>

00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:03.500
And<00:25:01.640><c> yet</c><00:25:01.759><c> here</c><00:25:02.000><c> is</c><00:25:02.200><c> where</c><00:25:02.380><c> our</c><00:25:02.660><c> heart</c><00:25:02.859><c> is</c>

00:25:03.500 --> 00:25:05.599
around<00:25:04.059><c> the</c><00:25:04.240><c> Word</c><00:25:04.380><c> of</c><00:25:04.519><c> God.</c>

00:25:06.500 --> 00:25:09.019
And<00:25:06.859><c> Noah's</c><00:25:07.279><c> heart</c><00:25:07.599><c> was</c><00:25:07.980><c> building</c><00:25:08.299><c> that</c><00:25:08.700><c> ark,</c>

00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:11.839
was<00:25:09.559><c> obeying</c><00:25:09.980><c> God</c><00:25:10.220><c> because</c><00:25:10.559><c> he</c><00:25:10.720><c> had</c><00:25:10.940><c> complete</c><00:25:11.359><c> faith</c>

00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.440
that<00:25:12.160><c> what</c><00:25:12.420><c> God</c><00:25:12.799><c> had</c><00:25:13.140><c> said</c><00:25:13.400><c> would</c><00:25:13.819><c> come</c><00:25:14.059><c> to</c><00:25:14.299><c> pass.</c>

00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:20.500
I<00:25:16.839><c> want</c><00:25:17.259><c> you</c><00:25:17.500><c> to</c><00:25:17.759><c> notice</c><00:25:18.200><c> that</c>

00:25:20.500 --> 00:25:23.519
that<00:25:21.000><c> ark</c><00:25:21.259><c> was</c><00:25:21.660><c> a</c><00:25:21.940><c> place</c><00:25:22.140><c> of</c><00:25:22.559><c> security.</c>

00:25:25.180 --> 00:25:27.079
We<00:25:25.380><c> read,</c><00:25:25.819><c> as</c><00:25:25.940><c> we</c><00:25:26.180><c> mentioned</c><00:25:26.460><c> the</c><00:25:26.640><c> other</c><00:25:26.839><c> week,</c>

00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:28.680
that<00:25:27.299><c> that</c><00:25:27.519><c> ark</c><00:25:27.700><c> was</c><00:25:27.980><c> to</c><00:25:28.180><c> be</c><00:25:28.420><c> pitched</c>

00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:30.720

00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:32.359
And<00:25:31.140><c> I</c><00:25:31.339><c> mentioned</c><00:25:31.640><c> at</c><00:25:31.859><c> the</c><00:25:32.059><c> time</c>

00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:35.440

00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:39.500

00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:42.880
It's<00:25:40.759><c> translated</c><00:25:41.480><c> that</c><00:25:41.980><c> way</c>

00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:45.880

Translated<00:25:47.039><c> atonement.</c>

00:25:48.940 --> 00:25:51.059
And<00:25:49.099><c> it</c><00:25:49.319><c> finds</c><00:25:49.700><c> its</c><00:25:50.039><c> grand</c><00:25:50.420><c> counterpart</c>

00:25:51.059 --> 00:25:53.000

00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:15.660

00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:15.700
Christ<00:27:13.220><c> thanks</c><00:27:13.640><c> his</c><00:27:13.940><c> Heavenly</c><00:27:14.380><c> Father</c>

00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:25.059

00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.160
or<00:27:30.579><c> some</c><00:27:30.920><c> of</c><00:27:31.200><c> our</c><00:27:31.539><c> dear</c><00:27:31.900><c> brethren</c><00:27:32.279><c> and</c><00:27:32.519><c> sisters,</c>

00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:37.880
there's<00:27:37.039><c> anyone</c><00:27:37.400><c> in</c><00:27:37.700><c> here</c>

00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:40.400

00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:42.460
by<00:27:40.640><c> the</c><00:27:40.839><c> way</c><00:27:41.059><c> it</c><00:27:41.319><c> sometimes,</c>

00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.000
and<00:27:42.700><c> we</c><00:27:42.819><c> let</c><00:27:42.900><c> our</c><00:27:43.140><c> readings</c><00:27:43.440><c> slip</c><00:27:43.799><c> a</c><00:27:43.920><c> little</c><00:27:44.279><c> bit,</c>

00:27:45.299 --> 00:27:46.859
and<00:27:45.480><c> we</c><00:27:45.960><c> fade</c><00:27:46.319><c> back,</c>

00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.579
but<00:27:47.519><c> then</c><00:27:47.720><c> God</c><00:27:48.000><c> pulls</c><00:27:48.380><c> us</c><00:27:48.740><c> back.</c>

00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:51.319
Now<00:27:50.180><c> remember</c><00:27:50.559><c> what</c><00:27:50.799><c> Christ</c><00:27:51.079><c> said</c>

00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:52.819

00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:55.079
It's<00:27:53.119><c> not</c><00:27:53.319><c> for</c><00:27:53.480><c> us</c><00:27:53.680><c> to</c><00:27:53.960><c> judge,</c>

00:27:57.700 --> 00:28:00.359
because<00:27:58.299><c> Christ</c><00:27:58.900><c> tells</c><00:27:59.700><c> God</c>

00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:02.480

00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:19.079
You're<00:28:16.220><c> going</c><00:28:16.440><c> to</c><00:28:16.579><c> see</c><00:28:16.720><c> that</c><00:28:16.880><c> I</c><00:28:16.960><c> haven't</c><00:28:17.279><c> lost</c><00:28:17.599><c> a</c><00:28:17.779><c> one</c><00:28:17.920><c> of</c><00:28:18.160><c> them.</c>

00:28:20.900 --> 00:28:22.240
Noah<00:28:21.140><c> didn't</c><00:28:21.440><c> lose</c><00:28:21.720><c> anything</c>

00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:24.220

00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:28.619
Now<00:28:25.000><c> that's</c><00:28:25.240><c> been</c><00:28:25.500><c> a</c><00:28:25.779><c> great</c><00:28:26.000><c> source</c><00:28:26.339><c> of</c><00:28:26.660><c> consolation</c><00:28:27.200><c> to</c><00:28:27.380><c> me,</c><00:28:27.759><c> class.</c>

00:28:28.690 --> 00:28:33.900
It<00:28:28.960><c> finds</c><00:28:30.039><c> its</c><00:28:30.299><c> counterpart</c><00:28:30.940><c> in</c><00:28:31.440><c> John</c><00:28:31.720><c> 18</c><00:28:32.160><c> and</c><00:28:32.400><c> 9.</c>

00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:38.059

00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:48.180
You<00:28:46.299><c> couldn't</c><00:28:46.539><c> come</c><00:28:46.799><c> in</c><00:28:46.940><c> the</c><00:28:47.059><c> back</c><00:28:47.259><c> door</c><00:28:47.420><c> of</c><00:28:47.519><c> the</c><00:28:47.720><c> tabernacle</c>

00:28:48.180 --> 00:28:50.380
because<00:28:48.519><c> there</c><00:28:48.680><c> wasn't</c><00:28:48.980><c> any</c><00:28:49.220><c> back</c><00:28:49.440><c> door</c><00:28:49.579><c> of</c><00:28:49.680><c> the</c><00:28:49.880><c> tabernacle.</c>

00:28:50.619 --> 00:28:53.380
There<00:28:50.779><c> was</c><00:28:50.980><c> only</c><00:28:51.259><c> one</c><00:28:51.519><c> entrance</c><00:28:51.759><c> into</c><00:28:51.960><c> that</c><00:28:52.240><c> tabernacle.</c>

00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:56.859
Now<00:28:54.079><c> Christ</c><00:28:54.319><c> says,</c><00:28:54.839><c> I</c><00:28:54.839><c> am</c><00:28:55.380><c> that</c><00:28:55.720><c> door.</c>

00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:03.420
He<00:29:01.460><c> says,</c><00:29:01.759><c> if</c><00:29:01.819><c> any</c><00:29:02.079><c> man</c><00:29:02.279><c> comes</c><00:29:02.599><c> in</c><00:29:02.799><c> any</c><00:29:02.980><c> other</c><00:29:03.279><c> way,</c>

You<00:29:14.420><c> know,</c><00:29:15.140><c> we</c><00:29:15.339><c> get</c><00:29:15.579><c> these</c><00:29:15.839><c> little</c><00:29:16.140><c> Sunday</c><00:29:16.519><c> school</c><00:29:16.880><c> cards,</c>

00:32:17.539 --> 00:32:19.099
And<00:32:17.740><c> that</c><00:32:17.819><c> we're</c><00:32:18.039><c> all</c><00:32:18.240><c> familiar</c><00:32:18.579><c> with</c><00:32:18.779><c> the</c><00:32:18.900><c> fact</c>

00:32:19.099 --> 00:32:21.680
that<00:32:19.299><c> the</c><00:32:19.519><c> ark</c><00:32:19.680><c> was</c><00:32:19.960><c> equipped</c><00:32:20.259><c> with</c><00:32:20.619><c> rooms.</c>

00:32:22.099 --> 00:32:25.279
Now,<00:32:23.440><c> each</c><00:32:23.859><c> animal</c><00:32:24.359><c> didn't</c><00:32:24.680><c> have</c><00:32:24.940><c> a</c><00:32:25.119><c> room.</c>

00:32:25.339 --> 00:32:28.359
You'd<00:32:25.619><c> have</c><00:32:25.859><c> a</c><00:32:26.019><c> little,</c><00:32:26.599><c> very</c><00:32:27.039><c> small</c><00:32:27.359><c> room</c><00:32:27.619><c> for</c><00:32:27.880><c> a</c><00:32:28.119><c> snail</c>

00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:29.799
and<00:32:28.579><c> a</c><00:32:28.740><c> huge</c><00:32:28.960><c> room</c><00:32:29.140><c> for</c><00:32:29.339><c> an</c><00:32:29.559><c> elephant.</c>

00:32:30.180 --> 00:32:32.019
It<00:32:30.380><c> doesn't</c><00:32:30.759><c> mean</c><00:32:31.079><c> that.</c>

00:32:32.059 --> 00:32:34.240
But<00:32:32.200><c> if</c><00:32:32.380><c> you</c><00:32:32.559><c> look</c><00:32:32.759><c> in</c><00:32:32.920><c> the</c><00:32:33.160><c> margin</c><00:32:33.559><c> of</c><00:32:33.759><c> your</c><00:32:33.960><c> Bible,</c>

00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:36.099
you'll<00:32:34.640><c> find</c><00:32:34.799><c> something</c><00:32:35.119><c> very</c><00:32:35.559><c> interesting</c>

00:32:36.099 --> 00:32:40.240
because<00:32:36.779><c> that</c><00:32:37.359><c> word</c><00:32:37.740><c> room</c><00:32:38.140><c> is</c><00:32:38.559><c> translated</c><00:32:39.140><c> in</c><00:32:39.359><c> the</c><00:32:39.579><c> margin,</c>

00:32:46.259 --> 00:32:51.920
And<00:32:46.539><c> it</c><00:32:46.799><c> speaks</c><00:32:47.119><c> of</c><00:32:47.400><c> something</c><00:32:47.859><c> that</c><00:32:48.200><c> is</c><00:32:49.420><c> a</c><00:32:50.400><c> resting</c><00:32:50.740><c> place.</c>

00:32:52.619 --> 00:32:55.339
It<00:32:52.799><c> speaks</c><00:32:53.079><c> of</c><00:32:53.339><c> something</c><00:32:53.660><c> where,</c><00:32:54.759><c> for</c><00:32:55.019><c> instance,</c>

00:32:55.380 --> 00:32:58.960
a<00:32:55.660><c> mother</c><00:32:55.940><c> bird</c><00:32:56.539><c> gives</c><00:32:57.000><c> protection</c><00:32:57.700><c> to</c><00:32:57.940><c> her</c><00:32:58.140><c> young.</c>

00:32:59.099 --> 00:33:01.359
That's<00:32:59.480><c> so</c><00:32:59.779><c> interesting</c><00:33:00.160><c> because</c><00:33:00.599><c> Christ</c><00:33:01.000><c> says,</c>

00:33:01.660 --> 00:33:04.039
how<00:33:01.819><c> often</c><00:33:02.299><c> would</c><00:33:02.500><c> I</c><00:33:02.759><c> gather</c><00:33:03.059><c> thee</c><00:33:03.279><c> together</c>

00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:07.019
as<00:33:04.599><c> a</c><00:33:04.880><c> hen</c><00:33:05.059><c> gathers</c><00:33:05.500><c> her</c><00:33:05.799><c> chickens</c><00:33:06.119><c> under</c><00:33:06.420><c> her</c><00:33:06.720><c> wings,</c>

00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:08.480
and<00:33:07.240><c> you</c><00:33:07.359><c> would</c><00:33:07.619><c> not.</c>

00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:10.200
And<00:33:08.759><c> in</c><00:33:08.960><c> the</c><00:33:09.039><c> 91st</c><00:33:09.700><c> Psalm,</c>

00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:13.920
that<00:33:10.779><c> he</c><00:33:11.380><c> shall</c><00:33:11.559><c> hide</c><00:33:12.039><c> thee</c><00:33:12.160><c> under</c><00:33:12.440><c> his</c><00:33:12.819><c> feathers.</c>

00:33:14.619 --> 00:33:18.140
And<00:33:14.920><c> so</c><00:33:15.160><c> God</c><00:33:15.500><c> actually</c><00:33:16.200><c> prepared</c><00:33:16.859><c> nests,</c>

00:33:18.599 --> 00:33:20.539
a<00:33:18.940><c> nest</c><00:33:19.160><c> of</c><00:33:19.440><c> protection.</c>

00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:23.819
And<00:33:21.160><c> the</c><00:33:21.400><c> same</c><00:33:21.779><c> thought</c><00:33:22.019><c> is</c><00:33:22.180><c> in</c><00:33:22.279><c> the</c><00:33:22.440><c> 14th</c><00:33:23.079><c> chapter</c><00:33:23.339><c> of</c><00:33:23.539><c> John</c>

00:33:23.819 --> 00:33:24.940
where<00:33:24.019><c> we</c><00:33:24.240><c> read</c><00:33:24.420><c> that,</c>

00:33:25.019 --> 00:33:27.940
in<00:33:25.220><c> my</c><00:33:25.680><c> father's</c><00:33:26.180><c> house</c><00:33:26.579><c> are</c><00:33:26.880><c> many</c><00:33:27.279><c> mansions</c>

00:33:27.940 --> 00:33:31.880
or<00:33:28.460><c> many</c><00:33:28.839><c> abiding</c><00:33:29.400><c> places</c><00:33:30.039><c> or</c><00:33:30.660><c> many</c><00:33:31.059><c> nests</c>

00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:34.339
where<00:33:32.299><c> I</c><00:33:32.519><c> will</c><00:33:32.779><c> care</c><00:33:33.119><c> for</c><00:33:33.339><c> you.</c>

00:33:34.740 --> 00:33:38.519
And<00:33:34.839><c> this,</c><00:33:35.200><c> of</c><00:33:35.240><c> course,</c><00:33:35.500><c> is</c><00:33:35.640><c> our</c><00:33:35.900><c> security</c><00:33:36.619><c> in</c><00:33:37.359><c> Jesus.</c>

00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:42.799
Now,<00:33:40.579><c> this</c><00:33:40.779><c> Hebrew</c><00:33:41.160><c> word</c><00:33:41.480><c> for</c><00:33:41.819><c> pitch,</c>

00:33:42.980 --> 00:33:45.619
I'd<00:33:43.200><c> like</c><00:33:43.319><c> to</c><00:33:43.359><c> come</c><00:33:43.640><c> back</c><00:33:43.859><c> to</c><00:33:43.920><c> that</c><00:33:44.119><c> for</c><00:33:44.299><c> just</c><00:33:44.599><c> a</c><00:33:44.759><c> moment.</c>

00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:48.940
If<00:33:45.880><c> you</c><00:33:46.740><c> would</c><00:33:47.019><c> like</c><00:33:47.299><c> a</c><00:33:47.480><c> little</c><00:33:47.920><c> study</c><00:33:48.359><c> in</c><00:33:48.640><c> this,</c>

00:33:49.220 --> 00:33:52.579
you'll<00:33:49.420><c> find</c><00:33:49.740><c> that</c><00:33:49.960><c> that</c><00:33:50.180><c> is</c><00:33:50.420><c> not</c><00:33:50.700><c> the</c><00:33:50.940><c> common</c><00:33:51.339><c> one,</c><00:33:51.900><c> zenith,</c>

00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:55.019
but<00:33:53.299><c> it's</c><00:33:53.579><c> used</c><00:33:53.720><c> for</c><00:33:54.019><c> bitumen</c><00:33:54.420><c> products,</c>

00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:58.680
but<00:33:55.539><c> rather</c><00:33:55.839><c> it's</c><00:33:56.339><c> safer,</c><00:33:57.039><c> C</c><00:33:57.160><c>-A</c><00:33:57.359><c>-P</c><00:33:57.839><c>-H</c><00:33:58.220><c>-E</c><00:33:58.500><c>-R,</c>

00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:01.539
and<00:33:58.859><c> you'll</c><00:33:59.200><c> excuse</c><00:33:59.559><c> my</c><00:34:00.259><c> pronunciation</c><00:34:01.000><c> of</c><00:34:01.279><c> Hebrew</c>

00:34:01.539 --> 00:34:03.940
because<00:34:01.980><c> I'm</c><00:34:02.140><c> not</c><00:34:02.460><c> a</c><00:34:02.660><c> Hebrew</c><00:34:02.920><c> scholar.</c>

00:34:04.140 --> 00:34:06.980
We<00:34:04.259><c> have</c><00:34:04.539><c> stolen</c><00:34:04.839><c> these</c><00:34:05.180><c> words</c><00:34:05.559><c> from</c><00:34:06.099><c> the</c><00:34:06.420><c> concordance,</c>

00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:09.000
but<00:34:07.700><c> that's</c><00:34:08.059><c> what</c><00:34:08.179><c> you</c><00:34:08.340><c> will</c><00:34:08.619><c> find.</c>

00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:11.019
This<00:34:09.500><c> word</c><00:34:09.739><c> is</c><00:34:10.000><c> zafer,</c>

00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:14.679
and<00:34:11.219><c> 70</c><00:34:12.579><c> times</c><00:34:12.980><c> we've</c><00:34:13.219><c> said</c><00:34:13.420><c> before</c><00:34:13.840><c> in</c><00:34:14.000><c> the</c><00:34:14.099><c> Old</c><00:34:14.320><c> Testament,</c>

00:34:14.739 --> 00:34:16.619
it's<00:34:15.019><c> translated</c><00:34:15.460><c> atonement.</c>

00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:20.079
Now,<00:34:18.099><c> what</c><00:34:18.260><c> does</c><00:34:18.539><c> atonement</c><00:34:19.059><c> mean?</c>

00:34:20.820 --> 00:34:23.260
Atonement<00:34:21.460><c> means</c><00:34:21.980><c> to</c><00:34:22.400><c> cover.</c>

00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:27.360
In<00:34:24.780><c> other</c><00:34:25.000><c> words,</c><00:34:25.440><c> when</c><00:34:25.679><c> we</c><00:34:26.019><c> are</c><00:34:26.320><c> atoned</c><00:34:26.679><c> for</c>

00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:29.340
through<00:34:27.980><c> the</c><00:34:28.179><c> Lord</c><00:34:28.400><c> Jesus</c><00:34:28.820><c> Christ,</c>

00:34:29.340 --> 00:34:32.019
our<00:34:30.099><c> sins</c><00:34:30.559><c> are</c><00:34:31.099><c> covered.</c>

00:34:32.659 --> 00:34:34.639
Adam<00:34:32.880><c> and</c><00:34:33.139><c> Eve</c><00:34:33.239><c> were</c><00:34:33.639><c> atoned</c><00:34:34.059><c> for</c>

00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:37.019
by<00:34:35.300><c> the</c><00:34:35.659><c> animal</c><00:34:36.059><c> that</c><00:34:36.360><c> was</c><00:34:36.679><c> slain,</c>

00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:38.719
and<00:34:37.199><c> they</c><00:34:37.400><c> were</c><00:34:37.760><c> covered.</c>

00:34:39.099 --> 00:34:41.360
The<00:34:39.300><c> fig</c><00:34:39.519><c> leaf</c><00:34:39.780><c> covering</c><00:34:40.099><c> was</c><00:34:40.440><c> not</c><00:34:40.719><c> sufficient</c>

00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:45.519
because<00:34:42.480><c> it</c><00:34:43.000><c> did</c><00:34:43.400><c> not</c><00:34:43.679><c> require</c><00:34:44.300><c> a</c><00:34:44.619><c> death.</c>

00:34:45.659 --> 00:34:49.199
It<00:34:45.820><c> in</c><00:34:45.960><c> no</c><00:34:46.360><c> way</c><00:34:46.619><c> signified</c><00:34:47.320><c> the</c><00:34:47.559><c> destruction</c><00:34:48.059><c> of</c><00:34:48.440><c> sin.</c>

00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:52.300
So,<00:34:50.039><c> atonement</c><00:34:50.539><c> is</c><00:34:50.940><c> to</c><00:34:51.239><c> cover.</c>

00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:56.099
And<00:34:52.920><c> so,</c><00:34:53.400><c> not</c><00:34:53.599><c> only</c><00:34:54.239><c> was</c><00:34:54.619><c> the</c><00:34:54.920><c> art</c><00:34:55.199><c> pitched</c><00:34:55.679><c> within</c>

00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:46.219
We<00:37:41.659><c> find</c><00:37:42.320><c> one</c><00:37:42.699><c> of</c><00:37:42.860><c> his</c><00:37:43.159><c> sons</c><00:37:43.679><c> and</c><00:37:44.099><c> one</c><00:37:44.320><c> of</c><00:37:44.500><c> his</c><00:37:44.699><c> sons'</c><00:37:45.019><c> sons</c>

00:37:46.219 --> 00:37:52.079
committing<00:37:47.139><c> the</c><00:37:47.599><c> first</c><00:37:48.239><c> act</c><00:37:48.699><c> of</c><00:37:49.059><c> homosexualism</c><00:37:50.059><c> we</c><00:37:50.340><c> have</c><00:37:50.500><c> on</c><00:37:50.860><c> record.</c>

00:37:52.980 --> 00:37:54.539
Noah<00:37:53.099><c> was</c><00:37:53.480><c> naked.</c>

00:37:55.340 --> 00:37:56.940
And<00:37:55.539><c> that</c><00:37:55.659><c> was</c><00:37:55.920><c> the</c><00:37:56.099><c> beginning.</c>

00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.679
And<00:37:57.820><c> Noah</c><00:37:58.119><c> woke</c><00:37:58.440><c> from</c><00:37:58.639><c> his</c><00:37:58.920><c> sleep</c><00:37:59.099><c> and</c><00:37:59.360><c> he</c><00:37:59.599><c> realized</c><00:38:00.139><c> what</c><00:38:00.380><c> had</c>

00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:02.159
been<00:38:00.960><c> done.</c>

00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:08.460
And<00:38:03.260><c> evidently,</c><00:38:03.860><c> most</c><00:38:04.460><c> of</c><00:38:05.500><c> that</c><00:38:05.800><c> act</c><00:38:06.000><c> had</c><00:38:06.199><c> been</c><00:38:06.579><c> conducted</c><00:38:07.059><c> by</c>

Ham's<00:38:08.920><c> son</c><00:38:09.519><c> Canaan.</c>

00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:14.840
And<00:38:11.739><c> so</c><00:38:11.920><c> there's</c><00:38:12.119><c> a</c><00:38:12.400><c> curse</c><00:38:12.579><c> that</c><00:38:12.619><c> comes</c><00:38:12.880><c> on</c><00:38:13.239><c> Canaan.</c>

00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:17.860
He<00:38:16.039><c> used</c><00:38:16.199><c> to</c><00:38:16.280><c> be</c><00:38:16.420><c> a</c><00:38:16.639><c> servant</c><00:38:16.840><c> of</c><00:38:17.099><c> all.</c>

00:38:21.260 --> 00:38:24.079
And<00:38:21.360><c> we</c><00:38:21.480><c> have</c><00:38:21.659><c> heard</c><00:38:21.840><c> many</c><00:38:22.199><c> times,</c><00:38:22.840><c> and</c><00:38:23.159><c> wrongly</c><00:38:23.760><c> so,</c>

00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:27.360
that<00:38:24.980><c> that</c><00:38:25.340><c> curse</c><00:38:25.679><c> was</c><00:38:25.980><c> against</c><00:38:26.300><c> the</c><00:38:26.539><c> Negro.</c>

This<00:38:28.119><c> is</c><00:38:28.360><c> not</c><00:38:28.579><c> true.</c>

00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:32.300
If<00:38:29.019><c> you'll</c><00:38:29.320><c> examine</c><00:38:29.699><c> the</c><00:38:29.980><c> Hebrew</c><00:38:30.440><c> text</c><00:38:30.920><c> real</c><00:38:31.320><c> carefully,</c>

00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:34.920
you<00:38:32.320><c> will</c><00:38:32.639><c> find</c><00:38:32.920><c> that</c><00:38:33.139><c> color</c><00:38:33.460><c> has</c><00:38:33.880><c> nothing</c><00:38:34.219><c> to</c><00:38:34.539><c> do,</c>

00:38:37.139 --> 00:38:41.199
That<00:38:37.500><c> curse</c><00:38:37.900><c> was</c><00:38:38.599><c> not</c><00:38:38.880><c> concerning</c><00:38:39.340><c> the</c><00:38:39.679><c> pigment</c><00:38:39.940><c> of</c><00:38:40.139><c> the</c><00:38:40.380><c> skin.</c>

00:38:42.940 --> 00:38:46.639
It's<00:38:43.300><c> interesting</c><00:38:43.800><c> as</c><00:38:44.019><c> we</c><00:38:44.340><c> begin</c><00:38:44.639><c> to</c><00:38:45.099><c> follow</c><00:38:45.500><c> the</c><00:38:45.920><c> sons</c><00:38:46.280><c> of</c>

00:38:51.179 --> 00:38:55.039
From<00:38:51.619><c> this</c><00:38:52.119><c> man</c><00:38:52.599><c> cursed,</c><00:38:53.340><c> whose</c><00:38:53.519><c> name</c><00:38:53.760><c> was</c><00:38:54.099><c> Canaan,</c>

00:38:55.539 --> 00:38:59.699
you<00:38:55.920><c> have</c><00:38:56.280><c> one</c><00:38:56.699><c> of</c><00:38:57.019><c> the</c><00:38:57.260><c> most</c><00:38:57.840><c> severe</c><00:38:58.539><c> enemies</c><00:38:59.000><c> of</c><00:38:59.239><c> Israel,</c>

the<00:39:00.340><c> Canaanite.</c>

00:39:01.099 --> 00:39:05.500
And<00:39:02.179><c> the</c><00:39:02.460><c> Canaanite</c><00:39:03.159><c> becomes</c><00:39:03.699><c> a</c><00:39:04.079><c> symbol</c><00:39:04.519><c> of</c><00:39:04.739><c> that</c><00:39:05.039><c> which</c><00:39:05.239><c> we</c>

00:39:05.500 --> 00:39:07.659

00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:10.099
Not<00:39:07.820><c> that</c><00:39:07.980><c> we</c><00:39:08.079><c> go</c><00:39:08.260><c> out</c><00:39:08.460><c> and</c><00:39:08.599><c> kill</c><00:39:08.820><c> people,</c><00:39:09.239><c> I</c><00:39:09.420><c> don't</c><00:39:09.699><c> mean</c><00:39:09.880><c> that,</c>

00:39:19.659 --> 00:39:24.480
Canaan<00:39:20.260><c> actually</c><00:39:20.860><c> is</c><00:39:21.519><c> the</c><00:39:21.719><c> beginning</c><00:39:22.119><c> of</c><00:39:22.840><c> homosexuals</c>

00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:26.340
that<00:39:24.760><c> we</c><00:39:24.960><c> hear</c><00:39:25.139><c> so</c><00:39:25.440><c> much</c><00:39:25.639><c> about</c><00:39:25.940><c> today,</c>

00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:29.940
and<00:39:26.699><c> incidentally</c><00:39:27.719><c> is</c><00:39:28.139><c> that</c><00:39:28.440><c> which</c><00:39:28.719><c> becomes</c><00:39:29.039><c> so</c><00:39:29.539><c> prominent</c>

00:39:29.940 --> 00:39:36.059

00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:38.920
This<00:39:36.760><c> was</c><00:39:37.019><c> the</c><00:39:37.280><c> reason</c><00:39:37.579><c> for</c><00:39:37.840><c> the</c><00:39:38.039><c> fall</c><00:39:38.239><c> of</c><00:39:38.519><c> Rome.</c>

00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:42.360
It<00:39:39.099><c> was</c><00:39:39.420><c> the</c><00:39:39.760><c> reason</c><00:39:39.960><c> for</c><00:39:40.159><c> the</c><00:39:40.320><c> fall</c><00:39:40.519><c> of</c><00:39:40.880><c> Babylon</c><00:39:41.219><c> and</c><00:39:41.539><c> Medo</c><00:39:41.900><c>-Persia.</c>

00:39:42.619 --> 00:39:44.179
That<00:39:42.800><c> is</c><00:39:43.019><c> from</c><00:39:43.219><c> a</c><00:39:43.340><c> natural</c><00:39:43.719><c> standpoint.</c>

00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:46.400
Of<00:39:44.460><c> course,</c><00:39:44.679><c> God</c><00:39:45.000><c> had</c><00:39:45.360><c> decreed.</c>

that<00:39:59.619><c> the</c><00:40:00.500><c> Canaanites</c><00:40:01.119><c> were</c><00:40:01.380><c> absolutely</c><00:40:02.179><c> eaten</c><00:40:02.500><c> up</c><00:40:02.800><c> with</c>

venereal<00:40:03.480><c> disease.</c>

00:40:04.539 --> 00:40:06.920
So<00:40:04.840><c> God</c><00:40:05.219><c> knew</c><00:40:05.619><c> what</c><00:40:05.780><c> he</c><00:40:05.880><c> was</c><00:40:06.079><c> talking</c><00:40:06.380><c> about.</c>

00:40:07.260 --> 00:40:12.900

00:40:16.699 --> 00:40:20.519
And<00:40:16.800><c> God</c><00:40:17.239><c> points</c><00:40:17.760><c> to</c><00:40:18.000><c> them</c><00:40:18.340><c> and</c><00:40:19.139><c> tells</c><00:40:19.440><c> Israel</c><00:40:19.760><c> to</c><00:40:19.840><c> stay</c><00:40:20.119><c> away</c>

00:43:57.099 --> 00:44:00.739

00:44:03.480 --> 00:44:08.179
So<00:44:03.780><c> Nimrod</c><00:44:04.360><c> built</c><00:44:04.699><c> these</c><00:44:05.500><c> cities</c><00:44:05.960><c> with</c><00:44:06.599><c> great</c><00:44:06.940><c> walls</c><00:44:07.480><c> around</c><00:44:07.940><c> them</c>

00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:25.940

00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:40.940
Now<00:44:38.440><c> let's</c><00:44:38.679><c> carry</c><00:44:39.000><c> it</c><00:44:39.239><c> a</c><00:44:39.280><c> little</c><00:44:39.539><c> bit</c><00:44:39.800><c> further.</c>

He<00:48:51.920><c> had</c><00:48:52.099><c> to</c><00:48:52.300><c> cleanse</c><00:48:52.500><c> the</c><00:48:52.739><c> earth.</c>

00:48:53.460 --> 00:48:56.460
And<00:48:53.559><c> he</c><00:48:53.659><c> looks</c><00:48:53.940><c> down</c><00:48:54.159><c> upon</c><00:48:54.500><c> it,</c><00:48:54.659><c> and</c><00:48:54.780><c> he</c><00:48:54.960><c> sees</c><00:48:55.139><c> the</c><00:48:55.460><c> hearts</c><00:48:55.679><c> that</c><00:48:55.840><c> are</c><00:48:56.019><c> deceitful</c>

00:48:56.460 --> 00:48:58.360
above<00:48:56.679><c> all</c><00:48:57.000><c> things</c><00:48:57.179><c> and</c><00:48:57.420><c> desperately</c><00:48:57.860><c> wicked</c>

00:48:58.360 --> 00:49:01.800
going<00:48:58.820><c> in</c><00:48:59.099><c> identically</c><00:48:59.639><c> the</c><00:48:59.880><c> same</c><00:49:00.119><c> pattern</c><00:49:00.380><c> as</c><00:49:00.559><c> they</c><00:49:00.719><c> went</c><00:49:00.840><c> before.</c>

00:49:02.820 --> 00:49:05.019
But<00:49:03.159><c> God</c><00:49:03.440><c> is</c><00:49:03.760><c> determined.</c>

00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:09.179
God<00:49:06.119><c> had</c><00:49:06.380><c> made</c><00:49:06.519><c> a</c><00:49:06.780><c> promise</c><00:49:07.079><c> that</c><00:49:07.440><c> one</c><00:49:07.880><c> day</c>

00:49:09.300 --> 00:49:13.360
that<00:49:09.860><c> seed</c><00:49:10.019><c> of</c><00:49:10.199><c> the</c><00:49:10.380><c> woman</c><00:49:10.579><c> was</c><00:49:10.860><c> going</c><00:49:11.099><c> to</c><00:49:11.380><c> bruise</c><00:49:11.699><c> that</c><00:49:11.980><c> serpent's</c><00:49:12.480><c> head.</c>

00:49:14.539 --> 00:49:19.400
So<00:49:14.719><c> he</c><00:49:14.900><c> looks</c><00:49:15.219><c> down,</c><00:49:15.980><c> and</c><00:49:16.039><c> he</c><00:49:16.320><c> comes</c><00:49:16.679><c> now</c><00:49:17.079><c> to</c><00:49:17.800><c> the</c><00:49:18.059><c> 12th</c><00:49:18.519><c> chapter</c><00:49:18.800><c> of</c><00:49:19.039><c> Genesis,</c>

00:49:19.420 --> 00:49:24.239
which<00:49:19.699><c> has</c><00:49:20.099><c> to</c><00:49:20.340><c> be</c><00:49:20.760><c> one</c><00:49:21.039><c> of</c><00:49:21.159><c> the</c><00:49:21.300><c> most</c><00:49:21.840><c> important</c><00:49:23.139><c> chapters</c><00:49:23.940><c> in</c>

all<00:49:24.380><c> the</c><00:49:24.579><c> Bible.</c>

00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:28.860
Because<00:49:26.340><c> God</c><00:49:26.699><c> goes</c><00:49:27.039><c> in</c><00:49:27.300><c> the</c><00:49:27.480><c> midst</c><00:49:27.679><c> of</c><00:49:27.880><c> this</c><00:49:28.139><c> idolatry,</c>

00:49:28.940 --> 00:49:32.139
and<00:49:29.079><c> he</c><00:49:29.239><c> finds</c><00:49:29.719><c> a</c><00:49:30.079><c> man</c><00:49:30.280><c> that</c><00:49:30.559><c> had</c><00:49:30.780><c> the</c><00:49:31.199><c> qualifications</c><00:49:31.900><c> that</c>

00:49:32.139 --> 00:49:33.219
he<00:49:32.360><c> wanted.</c>

00:49:33.440 --> 00:49:37.980
He<00:49:33.820><c> found</c><00:49:34.079><c> a</c><00:49:34.340><c> man</c><00:49:34.480><c> that</c><00:49:34.699><c> had</c><00:49:34.980><c> faith</c><00:49:35.360><c> just</c><00:49:35.739><c> like</c><00:49:36.000><c> faithful</c><00:49:36.500><c> Noah</c><00:49:36.880><c> had.</c>

00:49:38.300 --> 00:49:40.199
And<00:49:38.780><c> he</c><00:49:38.960><c> says</c><00:49:39.219><c> to</c><00:49:39.460><c> Abram,</c>

00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:45.639
Get<00:49:40.500><c> thee</c><00:49:40.760><c> out</c><00:49:41.000><c> of</c><00:49:41.139><c> thy</c><00:49:41.340><c> country,</c><00:49:43.699><c> and</c><00:49:43.960><c> from</c><00:49:44.139><c> thy</c><00:49:44.440><c> kindred,</c>

00:49:46.179 --> 00:49:49.340
and<00:49:46.360><c> come</c><00:49:46.539><c> into</c><00:49:46.780><c> a</c><00:49:47.019><c> land</c><00:49:47.219><c> that</c><00:49:47.440><c> I</c><00:49:47.760><c> will</c><00:49:48.019><c> show</c><00:49:48.360><c> thee.</c>

00:49:51.179 --> 00:49:52.559
Now<00:49:51.539><c> stop</c><00:49:51.699><c> and</c><00:49:51.920><c> think</c><00:49:52.039><c> for</c><00:49:52.260><c> a</c><00:49:52.360><c> moment.</c>

00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:55.000
That's<00:49:53.079><c> more</c><00:49:53.360><c> than</c><00:49:53.519><c> just</c><00:49:53.900><c> words.</c>

00:49:56.079 --> 00:50:00.599
That's<00:49:56.480><c> what</c><00:49:56.500><c> God</c><00:49:56.880><c> said</c><00:49:57.139><c> to</c><00:49:57.320><c> you</c><00:49:57.539><c> and</c><00:49:57.639><c> to</c><00:49:57.820><c> me</c><00:49:58.199><c> when</c><00:49:58.400><c> we</c><00:49:58.599><c> went</c><00:49:58.760><c> through</c><00:49:58.980><c> the</c><00:49:59.119><c> waters</c><00:49:59.340><c> of</c><00:49:59.599><c> baptism.</c>

00:50:01.340 --> 00:50:05.519
Come<00:50:01.719><c> out</c><00:50:02.039><c> of</c><00:50:02.219><c> thy</c><00:50:02.460><c> country,</c><00:50:04.179><c> come</c><00:50:04.320><c> into</c><00:50:04.500><c> a</c><00:50:04.780><c> land</c><00:50:04.940><c> that</c><00:50:05.139><c> I</c><00:50:05.280><c> will</c>

show<00:50:05.780><c> thee.</c>

00:50:06.219 --> 00:50:09.360
We<00:50:07.079><c> were</c><00:50:07.360><c> at</c><00:50:07.460><c> one</c><00:50:07.860><c> time</c><00:50:08.119><c> in</c><00:50:08.280><c> the</c><00:50:08.380><c> land</c><00:50:08.599><c> of</c><00:50:08.840><c> sin</c><00:50:08.940><c> and</c><00:50:09.179><c> death.</c>

00:50:09.460 --> 00:50:11.699
We<00:50:09.559><c> read</c><00:50:09.739><c> this</c><00:50:09.940><c> in</c><00:50:10.099><c> the</c><00:50:10.179><c> second</c><00:50:10.380><c> chapter</c><00:50:10.739><c> of</c><00:50:10.940><c> Ephesians,</c>

00:50:19.260 --> 00:50:20.619
God<00:50:19.480><c> made</c><00:50:19.719><c> a</c><00:50:19.980><c> covenant</c><00:50:20.139><c> with</c><00:50:20.500><c> Noah.</c>

00:50:20.619 --> 00:50:22.960

00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:24.119
the<00:50:23.179><c> covenants.</c>

00:50:24.139 --> 00:50:26.519
That<00:50:24.340><c> was</c><00:50:24.559><c> a</c><00:50:24.739><c> tremendous</c><00:50:25.219><c> covenant</c><00:50:25.599><c> he</c><00:50:25.800><c> made</c><00:50:25.980><c> with</c><00:50:26.260><c> Noah.</c>

00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:30.940
But<00:50:27.159><c> we'll</c><00:50:27.460><c> come</c><00:50:27.639><c> to</c><00:50:27.760><c> that</c><00:50:27.980><c> as</c><00:50:28.139><c> we</c><00:50:28.400><c> summarize</c><00:50:28.860><c> all</c><00:50:29.179><c> the</c><00:50:29.400><c> covenants</c><00:50:29.679><c> of</c><00:50:29.860><c> the</c><00:50:30.019><c> Bible.</c>

00:50:32.039 --> 00:50:33.760
God<00:50:32.460><c> made</c><00:50:32.719><c> a</c><00:50:33.019><c> covenant</c><00:50:33.179><c> with</c><00:50:33.519><c> Noah,</c>

00:50:41.940 --> 00:50:44.420

When<00:51:17.099><c> you</c><00:51:17.320><c> went</c><00:51:17.519><c> through</c><00:51:17.800><c> the</c><00:51:17.980><c> waters</c><00:51:18.239><c> of</c><00:51:18.559><c> baptism,</c>

00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:24.039
you<00:51:19.619><c> became</c><00:51:20.039><c> a</c><00:51:20.360><c> Hebrew</c><00:51:20.820><c> because</c><00:51:21.739><c> you</c><00:51:21.980><c> were</c><00:51:22.179><c> a</c><00:51:22.380><c> crosser</c><00:51:23.099><c> over.</c>

00:51:24.260 --> 00:51:26.659
You<00:51:24.539><c> came</c><00:51:24.820><c> into</c><00:51:25.019><c> the</c><00:51:25.239><c> land</c><00:51:25.460><c> of</c><00:51:25.780><c> life.</c>

00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:31.659
Now<00:51:27.920><c> when</c><00:51:28.179><c> Abram</c><00:51:28.519><c> comes</c><00:51:28.820><c> into</c><00:51:29.079><c> this</c><00:51:29.380><c> land</c><00:51:29.719><c> of</c><00:51:30.000><c> life,</c>

00:51:31.760 --> 00:51:35.360
God<00:51:32.219><c> tells</c><00:51:32.679><c> him</c><00:51:33.059><c> exactly</c><00:51:33.840><c> what</c><00:51:34.099><c> he</c><00:51:34.320><c> told</c><00:51:34.659><c> you</c><00:51:34.960><c> and</c><00:51:35.159><c> me</c>

00:51:35.360 --> 00:51:38.820
when<00:51:35.500><c> we</c><00:51:35.800><c> came</c><00:51:36.679><c> out</c><00:51:37.179><c> of</c><00:51:37.260><c> the</c><00:51:37.400><c> waters</c><00:51:37.619><c> of</c><00:51:37.900><c> baptism.</c>

00:51:39.579 --> 00:51:42.079
He<00:51:39.820><c> says</c><00:51:39.920><c> you've</c><00:51:40.300><c> started</c><00:51:40.539><c> a</c><00:51:40.739><c> new</c><00:51:40.960><c> life.</c>

00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:44.900
Now<00:51:42.760><c> I</c><00:51:42.780><c> want</c><00:51:43.000><c> you</c><00:51:43.159><c> to</c><00:51:43.239><c> look</c><00:51:43.400><c> to</c><00:51:43.619><c> the</c><00:51:43.860><c> north,</c>

00:51:53.420 --> 00:51:56.380
God<00:51:53.900><c> is</c><00:51:54.260><c> telling</c><00:51:54.500><c> us</c><00:51:54.719><c> something,</c><00:51:55.239><c> isn't</c><00:51:55.460><c> he?</c>

00:51:56.460 --> 00:51:58.340
He's<00:51:56.820><c> saying</c><00:51:56.820><c> for</c><00:51:57.000><c> all</c><00:51:57.320><c> the</c><00:51:57.480><c> land</c><00:51:57.679><c> that</c><00:51:57.860><c> thou</c><00:51:58.000><c> seest,</c>

00:52:05.320 --> 00:52:07.019
He's<00:52:05.780><c> telling</c><00:52:05.860><c> us</c><00:52:06.059><c> to</c><00:52:06.199><c> bring</c><00:52:06.340><c> our</c><00:52:06.579><c> children</c><00:52:06.840><c> up</c>

00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:12.460
He's<00:52:10.840><c> telling</c><00:52:11.019><c> us</c><00:52:11.300><c> to</c><00:52:11.539><c> guide</c><00:52:11.780><c> and</c><00:52:12.000><c> direct,</c>

00:52:12.719 --> 00:52:15.219
that<00:52:12.880><c> one</c><00:52:13.159><c> day</c><00:52:13.460><c> we're</c><00:52:13.699><c> going</c><00:52:13.880><c> to</c><00:52:14.059><c> be</c><00:52:14.440><c> participants</c>

00:52:23.179 --> 00:52:25.300
The<00:52:23.320><c> class,</c><00:52:23.679><c> before</c><00:52:23.920><c> we</c><00:52:24.059><c> can</c><00:52:24.280><c> ever</c><00:52:24.500><c> do</c><00:52:24.699><c> that,</c>

00:52:25.699 --> 00:52:29.699
we<00:52:25.960><c> have</c><00:52:26.239><c> to</c><00:52:26.440><c> forget</c><00:52:27.380><c> that</c><00:52:28.500><c> old</c><00:52:28.719><c> country.</c>

00:52:30.280 --> 00:52:33.019
You<00:52:30.460><c> see,</c><00:52:30.719><c> when</c><00:52:30.920><c> Abram</c><00:52:31.420><c> came</c><00:52:31.760><c> out</c><00:52:32.219><c> of</c><00:52:32.480><c> the</c><00:52:32.619><c> land</c>

00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:35.820
and<00:52:35.179><c> it's</c><00:52:35.420><c> interesting,</c>

00:52:36.059 --> 00:52:37.940
the<00:52:36.199><c> spate</c><00:52:36.360><c> of</c><00:52:36.559><c> the</c><00:52:36.820><c> archaeologists</c><00:52:37.400><c> has</c><00:52:37.699><c> proven</c>

00:52:37.940 --> 00:52:40.300
beyond<00:52:38.239><c> any</c><00:52:38.519><c> question</c><00:52:38.860><c> of</c><00:52:39.159><c> doubt</c>

00:52:40.460 --> 00:52:44.300
that<00:52:40.940><c> Ur</c><00:52:41.300><c> of</c><00:52:41.420><c> the</c><00:52:41.619><c> Chaldees</c><00:52:42.079><c> was</c><00:52:42.280><c> a</c><00:52:42.440><c> very</c><00:52:42.860><c> rich</c><00:52:43.139><c> community.</c>

00:52:45.119 --> 00:52:46.619
Don't<00:52:45.380><c> let</c><00:52:45.579><c> us</c><00:52:45.800><c> ever</c><00:52:45.980><c> get</c><00:52:46.139><c> the</c><00:52:46.320><c> idea</c>

00:52:46.619 --> 00:52:49.539
that<00:52:46.880><c> those</c><00:52:47.019><c> people</c><00:52:47.320><c> were</c><00:52:47.579><c> ignorant</c><00:52:47.840><c> back</c><00:52:48.119><c> at</c><00:52:48.380><c> that</c><00:52:48.619><c> time.</c>

00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:50.980
These<00:52:50.079><c> people</c><00:52:50.360><c> were</c><00:52:50.579><c> brilliant.</c>

00:52:51.059 --> 00:52:53.280
They<00:52:51.179><c> had</c><00:52:51.400><c> a</c><00:52:51.519><c> tremendous</c><00:52:51.980><c> education.</c>

00:52:53.900 --> 00:52:55.739
And<00:52:54.159><c> excavations</c><00:52:54.679><c> in</c><00:52:54.900><c> Ur</c><00:52:55.000><c> of</c><00:52:55.139><c> the</c><00:52:55.300><c> Chaldees</c>

00:52:55.739 --> 00:52:58.519
have<00:52:56.000><c> proven</c><00:52:56.179><c> that</c><00:52:56.380><c> it</c><00:52:56.440><c> was</c><00:52:56.699><c> a</c><00:52:56.800><c> very</c><00:52:57.159><c> modern</c><00:52:57.539><c> city.</c>

00:52:59.780 --> 00:53:01.219
They<00:53:00.039><c> weren't</c><00:53:00.199><c> suffering</c><00:53:00.639><c> back</c><00:53:00.960><c> there</c>

00:53:01.219 --> 00:53:05.179
because<00:53:01.780><c> of</c><00:53:03.380><c> primitive</c><00:53:03.820><c> conditions.</c>

00:53:05.519 --> 00:53:08.079
The<00:53:05.599><c> fact</c><00:53:05.659><c> is</c><00:53:05.840><c> they</c><00:53:05.980><c> were</c><00:53:06.179><c> living</c><00:53:06.380><c> it</c><00:53:06.599><c> up,</c><00:53:06.780><c> so</c><00:53:06.980><c> to</c><00:53:07.219><c> speak.</c>

00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:11.420
And<00:53:08.519><c> Sarah</c><00:53:08.679><c> left</c><00:53:09.239><c> a</c><00:53:10.039><c> home</c><00:53:10.260><c> of</c><00:53:10.559><c> comfort,</c>

00:53:11.699 --> 00:53:13.619
and<00:53:12.000><c> Abram</c><00:53:12.340><c> left</c><00:53:12.619><c> a</c><00:53:12.800><c> home</c><00:53:13.099><c> of</c><00:53:13.360><c> comfort,</c>

00:53:13.619 --> 00:53:15.460
and<00:53:13.820><c> they</c><00:53:14.059><c> went</c><00:53:14.260><c> and</c><00:53:14.519><c> journeyed</c><00:53:14.820><c> into</c><00:53:15.039><c> the</c><00:53:15.239><c> desert</c>

00:53:15.460 --> 00:53:16.619
and<00:53:15.780><c> dwelt</c><00:53:15.920><c> in</c><00:53:16.219><c> tents</c>

00:53:16.619 --> 00:53:19.159
because<00:53:17.360><c> they</c><00:53:17.539><c> had</c><00:53:17.719><c> faith</c><00:53:18.039><c> in</c><00:53:18.300><c> God.</c>

00:53:19.719 --> 00:53:22.280
So<00:53:19.860><c> this</c><00:53:20.119><c> is</c><00:53:20.300><c> why</c><00:53:20.460><c> people</c><00:53:20.840><c> have</c><00:53:21.239><c> laughed</c><00:53:21.639><c> at</c><00:53:21.920><c> the</c><00:53:22.179><c> ark.</c>

00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:25.559
They<00:53:22.619><c> think</c><00:53:22.840><c> of</c><00:53:23.500><c> Noah</c><00:53:23.699><c> as</c><00:53:24.059><c> some</c><00:53:24.480><c> ignorant</c><00:53:24.880><c> individual</c>

00:53:25.559 --> 00:53:28.239
that<00:53:26.239><c> was</c><00:53:27.420><c> scratching</c><00:53:27.800><c> his</c><00:53:28.099><c> head</c>

00:53:28.239 --> 00:53:31.039
out<00:53:28.480><c> of</c><00:53:28.579><c> the</c><00:53:28.579><c> middle</c><00:53:28.760><c> of</c><00:53:28.940><c> the</c><00:53:29.079><c> ark,</c><00:53:29.980><c> far</c><00:53:30.239><c> be</c><00:53:30.460><c> it.</c>

00:53:31.239 --> 00:53:34.099
Noah<00:53:31.619><c> was</c><00:53:31.900><c> a</c><00:53:32.059><c> very</c><00:53:32.480><c> brilliant</c><00:53:32.880><c> man.</c>

00:53:34.579 --> 00:53:38.480
And<00:53:34.780><c> he</c><00:53:34.960><c> built</c><00:53:35.139><c> an</c><00:53:35.420><c> ark</c><00:53:35.599><c> the</c><00:53:35.880><c> size</c><00:53:36.099><c> of</c><00:53:36.300><c> a</c><00:53:36.480><c> present</c><00:53:36.739><c>-day</c><00:53:37.000><c> battleship.</c>

00:53:39.239 --> 00:53:42.599
And<00:53:39.539><c> it</c><00:53:39.820><c> folded</c><00:53:40.039><c> for</c><00:53:40.360><c> a</c><00:53:40.539><c> year</c><00:53:41.039><c> and</c><00:53:41.760><c> carried</c><00:53:41.960><c> them</c><00:53:42.199><c> safely.</c>

00:53:42.599 --> 00:53:43.780
So<00:53:43.519><c> he</c><00:53:43.599><c> said,</c>

00:53:43.920 --> 00:53:45.920
let's<00:53:44.000><c> don't</c><00:53:44.300><c> get</c><00:53:44.480><c> the</c><00:53:44.639><c> wrong</c><00:53:44.900><c> conception</c><00:53:45.320><c> of</c><00:53:45.519><c> these</c><00:53:45.699><c> people.</c>

00:53:45.940 --> 00:53:47.380
They<00:53:46.059><c> were</c><00:53:46.340><c> brilliant.</c>

00:53:48.119 --> 00:53:54.980
Egypt<00:53:48.380><c> was</c><00:53:48.679><c> a</c><00:53:48.940><c> place</c><00:53:49.179><c> of</c><00:53:50.380><c> a</c><00:53:51.699><c> very,</c><00:53:52.460><c> very</c><00:53:53.460><c> highly</c><00:53:53.800><c> educated</c><00:53:54.400><c> people.</c>

00:53:55.420 --> 00:53:56.320
And<00:53:55.559><c> so</c><00:53:55.699><c> was</c><00:53:56.000><c> Babylon.</c>

00:53:56.400 --> 00:53:58.820
Babylon<00:53:56.800><c> was</c><00:53:57.079><c> probably</c><00:53:57.340><c> one</c><00:53:57.539><c> of</c><00:53:57.579><c> the</c><00:53:57.719><c> most</c><00:53:57.900><c> illustrious</c><00:53:58.300><c> cities</c><00:53:58.599><c> in</c>

00:53:58.820 --> 00:53:59.820
the<00:53:58.940><c> world.</c>

00:53:59.880 --> 00:54:03.099
So<00:54:00.039><c> let's</c><00:54:00.380><c> think</c><00:54:00.699><c> of</c><00:54:00.880><c> them</c><00:54:01.039><c> in</c><00:54:01.219><c> terms</c><00:54:01.579><c> of</c><00:54:01.780><c> our</c><00:54:02.039><c> modern</c><00:54:02.320><c> civilization.</c>

00:54:03.840 --> 00:54:06.579
And<00:54:04.280><c> modern</c><00:54:04.460><c> man</c><00:54:04.780><c> thinks</c><00:54:05.059><c> he's</c><00:54:05.400><c> quite</c><00:54:05.659><c> something.</c>

00:54:06.940 --> 00:54:08.320
But<00:54:07.159><c> they</c><00:54:07.400><c> knew</c><00:54:07.559><c> things</c><00:54:07.840><c> back</c><00:54:08.159><c> there</c>

00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:11.019
that<00:54:08.519><c> modern</c><00:54:08.840><c> man</c><00:54:09.320><c> has</c><00:54:09.920><c> no</c><00:54:10.119><c> idea</c><00:54:10.519><c> of</c><00:54:10.699><c> today.</c>

00:54:11.019 --> 00:54:14.360
So<00:54:11.559><c> Abraham</c><00:54:11.880><c> left</c><00:54:12.260><c> the</c><00:54:12.460><c> lot</c><00:54:12.599><c> when</c><00:54:12.780><c> he</c><00:54:12.920><c> came</c><00:54:13.699><c> out</c>

00:54:14.360 --> 00:54:17.860
and<00:54:14.639><c> went</c><00:54:14.880><c> into</c><00:54:15.119><c> that</c><00:54:15.519><c> land</c><00:54:15.800><c> of</c><00:54:16.800><c> hope.</c>

00:54:18.079 --> 00:54:20.599
And<00:54:18.260><c> yet,</c><00:54:18.699><c> to</c><00:54:18.820><c> Abraham,</c><00:54:19.079><c> it</c><00:54:19.139><c> was</c><00:54:19.360><c> a</c><00:54:19.500><c> land</c><00:54:19.659><c> of</c><00:54:19.940><c> desolation</c><00:54:20.400><c> for</c>

00:54:20.599 --> 00:54:20.940
a<00:54:20.760><c> while.</c>

00:54:21.039 --> 00:54:23.539
He<00:54:21.059><c> wanted</c><00:54:21.360><c> up</c><00:54:21.679><c> and</c><00:54:21.940><c> down,</c><00:54:22.340><c> waiting</c><00:54:22.639><c> and</c><00:54:22.920><c> waiting</c><00:54:23.139><c> and</c><00:54:23.380><c> waiting</c>

00:54:23.539 --> 00:54:25.639
for<00:54:23.760><c> that</c><00:54:24.019><c> promise</c><00:54:24.239><c> to</c><00:54:24.460><c> be</c><00:54:24.619><c> fulfilled.</c>

00:54:26.280 --> 00:54:27.920
Well,<00:54:26.519><c> class,</c><00:54:26.719><c> we've</c><00:54:27.059><c> got</c><00:54:27.260><c> five</c><00:54:27.579><c> minutes,</c>

00:54:27.980 --> 00:54:30.099
and<00:54:28.360><c> I'm</c><00:54:28.659><c> not</c><00:54:28.820><c> going</c><00:54:29.099><c> on</c><00:54:29.300><c> because</c><00:54:29.519><c> next</c><00:54:29.900><c> week</c>

00:54:30.099 --> 00:54:32.639
we're<00:54:30.260><c> going</c><00:54:30.480><c> to</c><00:54:30.699><c> enlarge</c><00:54:30.960><c> on</c><00:54:31.119><c> that</c><00:54:31.340><c> covenant</c><00:54:31.639><c> promise.</c>

00:54:32.780 --> 00:54:34.659
I<00:54:33.059><c> want</c><00:54:33.219><c> us</c><00:54:33.420><c> to</c><00:54:33.739><c> really</c><00:54:34.000><c> look</c><00:54:34.280><c> at</c><00:54:34.460><c> it</c>

00:54:34.659 --> 00:54:36.280
like<00:54:34.840><c> we've</c><00:54:35.099><c> never</c><00:54:35.280><c> looked</c><00:54:35.500><c> at</c><00:54:35.619><c> it</c><00:54:35.780><c> before</c>

00:54:36.280 --> 00:54:38.639
because<00:54:37.000><c> it</c><00:54:37.260><c> concerns</c><00:54:37.760><c> you</c><00:54:38.079><c> and</c><00:54:38.320><c> me.</c>

00:54:38.639 --> 00:54:42.119
But<00:54:39.420><c> I</c><00:54:39.699><c> hope</c><00:54:39.920><c> that</c><00:54:40.139><c> we're</c><00:54:40.380><c> getting</c><00:54:40.679><c> kind</c><00:54:41.119><c> of</c><00:54:41.260><c> a</c><00:54:41.559><c> background</c>

00:54:42.119 --> 00:54:43.139
of<00:54:42.320><c> this</c><00:54:42.539><c> whole</c><00:54:42.860><c> thing.</c>

00:54:43.320 --> 00:54:45.880
And<00:54:43.619><c> remember,</c><00:54:44.000><c> that</c><00:54:44.239><c> promise</c><00:54:44.739><c> came</c><00:54:45.599><c> after</c>

00:54:46.260 --> 00:54:50.380
and<00:54:46.599><c> during</c><00:54:47.179><c> a</c><00:54:47.980><c> time</c><00:54:48.179><c> of</c><00:54:48.460><c> trouble</c><00:54:48.699><c> such</c><00:54:48.980><c> as</c><00:54:49.139><c> never</c><00:54:49.440><c> was.</c>

00:54:50.619 --> 00:54:54.460
It<00:54:50.940><c> came</c><00:54:51.179><c> in</c><00:54:51.400><c> the</c><00:54:51.659><c> midst</c><00:54:51.960><c> of</c><00:54:52.980><c> a</c><00:54:53.099><c> earth</c><00:54:53.280><c> that</c><00:54:53.579><c> had</c><00:54:53.900><c> departed</c>

00:54:54.460 --> 00:54:55.739
from<00:54:54.780><c> God.</c>

00:54:56.500 --> 00:54:59.639
And<00:54:56.719><c> that</c><00:54:56.900><c> glorious</c><00:54:57.260><c> promise</c><00:54:57.719><c> is</c><00:54:57.980><c> going</c><00:54:58.159><c> to</c><00:54:58.380><c> be</c><00:54:58.559><c> fulfilled</c><00:54:59.019><c> today</c>

00:54:59.639 --> 00:55:02.599
in<00:55:00.420><c> a</c><00:55:00.699><c> condition</c><00:55:01.039><c> that</c><00:55:01.239><c> is</c><00:55:01.619><c> exactly</c><00:55:02.139><c> the</c><00:55:02.440><c> same</c>

00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:04.539
as<00:55:02.739><c> it</c><00:55:02.920><c> was</c><00:55:03.019><c> in</c><00:55:03.219><c> the</c><00:55:03.360><c> days</c><00:55:03.519><c> of</c><00:55:03.780><c> Noah,</c>

00:55:04.599 --> 00:55:06.340
as<00:55:04.780><c> it</c><00:55:05.079><c> was</c><00:55:05.239><c> in</c><00:55:05.420><c> the</c><00:55:05.559><c> days</c><00:55:05.719><c> of</c><00:55:06.019><c> Abraham</c>

00:55:06.340 --> 00:55:08.219
when<00:55:06.559><c> he</c><00:55:06.659><c> came</c><00:55:06.800><c> out</c><00:55:07.000><c> of</c><00:55:07.119><c> the</c><00:55:07.340><c> college.</c>

00:55:08.599 --> 00:55:11.280
Now,<00:55:08.880><c> do</c><00:55:08.980><c> we</c><00:55:09.079><c> have</c><00:55:09.199><c> any</c><00:55:09.480><c> comment</c><00:55:09.739><c> or</c><00:55:10.000><c> questions?</c>

00:55:14.579 --> 00:55:15.039
Yes.

00:55:33.820 --> 00:55:35.039
That's<00:55:34.320><c> right.</c>

00:55:53.219 --> 00:55:55.679
That's<00:55:53.659><c> a</c><00:55:54.099><c> beautiful</c><00:55:54.460><c> thought,</c><00:55:55.179><c> Nora.</c>

00:55:56.019 --> 00:55:59.119
For<00:55:56.460><c> the</c><00:55:56.679><c> sake</c><00:55:56.880><c> of</c><00:55:57.519><c> those</c><00:55:57.780><c> of</c><00:55:57.940><c> you</c><00:55:58.099><c> who</c><00:55:58.239><c> might</c><00:55:58.519><c> not</c><00:55:58.719><c> have</c><00:55:58.880><c> heard,</c>

00:55:59.300 --> 00:56:01.159
did<00:55:59.760><c> all</c><00:56:00.019><c> of</c><00:56:00.159><c> you</c><00:56:00.280><c> hear</c><00:56:00.500><c> what</c><00:56:00.719><c> Nora</c><00:56:00.900><c> said,</c>

00:56:01.500 --> 00:56:03.679
that<00:56:01.579><c> we</c><00:56:01.820><c> might</c><00:56:02.099><c> have</c><00:56:02.340><c> a</c><00:56:02.400><c> choice</c><00:56:02.820><c> whether</c><00:56:03.019><c> we</c><00:56:03.139><c> want</c><00:56:03.380><c> to</c><00:56:03.679><c> leave</c>

00:56:03.679 --> 00:56:04.199
this<00:56:03.960><c> land</c>

00:56:04.199 --> 00:56:05.940
or<00:56:04.380><c> not</c><00:56:04.460><c> when</c><00:56:04.659><c> Christ</c><00:56:04.960><c> comes?</c>

00:56:05.980 --> 00:56:07.300
You<00:56:06.139><c> know,</c><00:56:06.780><c> if</c><00:56:06.960><c> that</c><00:56:07.059><c> was,</c>

00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:09.940
if<00:56:08.139><c> the</c><00:56:08.440><c> pattern</c><00:56:08.679><c> remains</c><00:56:09.139><c> the</c><00:56:09.360><c> same,</c><00:56:09.739><c> Nora,</c>

00:56:09.960 --> 00:56:11.800
that<00:56:10.179><c> could</c><00:56:10.320><c> very</c><00:56:10.539><c> well</c><00:56:10.699><c> be</c><00:56:10.940><c> true.</c>

00:56:11.940 --> 00:56:13.900
Lot<00:56:12.059><c> and</c><00:56:12.219><c> his</c><00:56:12.380><c> family</c><00:56:12.659><c> had</c><00:56:12.880><c> a</c><00:56:13.119><c> choice,</c><00:56:13.460><c> didn't</c><00:56:13.679><c> they?</c>

00:56:14.280 --> 00:56:15.019
They<00:56:14.480><c> had</c><00:56:14.699><c> a</c><00:56:14.880><c> choice</c><00:56:15.019><c> to</c><00:56:15.019><c> leave</c><00:56:15.019><c> this</c><00:56:15.019><c> land</c>

00:56:15.019 --> 00:56:18.260
in<00:56:15.079><c> the</c><00:56:15.320><c> days</c><00:56:15.440><c> of</c><00:56:15.719><c> Noah,</c><00:56:16.980><c> and</c><00:56:17.280><c> Abraham</c><00:56:17.619><c> had</c><00:56:17.840><c> a</c><00:56:18.019><c> choice.</c>

00:56:18.360 --> 00:56:20.559
Abraham<00:56:18.699><c> could</c><00:56:18.920><c> have</c><00:56:19.019><c> said</c><00:56:19.219><c> no</c><00:56:19.460><c> to</c><00:56:19.639><c> God.</c>

00:56:37.260 --> 00:56:37.659
And...

00:56:37.659 --> 00:56:45.159
You<00:56:38.059><c> know,</c><00:56:43.699><c> the</c><00:56:43.900><c> more</c><00:56:44.079><c> we</c><00:56:44.380><c> had,</c>

00:56:45.440 --> 00:56:48.119
the<00:56:45.579><c> harder</c><00:56:45.920><c> it</c><00:56:46.159><c> would</c><00:56:46.199><c> be</c><00:56:46.400><c> to</c><00:56:46.440><c> leave</c><00:56:46.619><c> if</c><00:56:46.880><c> our</c><00:56:47.000><c> heart</c><00:56:47.159><c> was</c><00:56:47.440><c> ill.</c>

00:56:50.059 --> 00:56:51.260
That's<00:56:50.380><c> right,</c><00:56:50.920><c> yeah.</c>

00:56:51.599 --> 00:56:53.460
That's<00:56:51.900><c> a</c><00:56:52.039><c> very</c><00:56:52.199><c> good</c><00:56:52.500><c> thought.</c>

00:56:54.119 --> 00:56:56.559
Would<00:56:54.119><c> anybody</c><00:56:54.380><c> like</c><00:56:54.760><c> to</c><00:56:54.760><c> comment</c><00:56:55.159><c> on</c><00:56:55.420><c> that?</c>

00:56:57.199 --> 00:56:59.019
