00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:05.820
first<00:00:03.640><c> of</c><00:00:04.120><c> seven</c><00:00:04.440><c> nights</c><00:00:04.759><c> on</c><00:00:05.080><c> the</c><00:00:05.500><c> Ministry</c>

of<00:00:05.980><c> the</c><00:00:06.219><c> Prophets.</c>

00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:10.199
It's<00:00:07.700><c> to</c><00:00:07.940><c> take</c><00:00:08.060><c> us</c><00:00:08.240><c> up</c><00:00:08.380><c> to</c><00:00:08.539><c> the</c><00:00:08.599><c> end</c><00:00:08.720><c> of</c><00:00:08.859><c> the</c><00:00:09.000><c> year,</c><00:00:09.560><c> and</c><00:00:09.679><c> I'd</c><00:00:09.939><c> like</c><00:00:10.039><c> to</c>

00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:11.279
tell<00:00:10.320><c> you</c><00:00:10.460><c> one</c><00:00:10.619><c> of</c><00:00:10.800><c> the</c><00:00:10.839><c> two</c><00:00:10.919><c> reasons</c>

00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:13.179
why<00:00:11.539><c> we</c><00:00:11.740><c> chose</c><00:00:12.019><c> this</c><00:00:12.240><c> subject.</c>

00:00:13.779 --> 00:00:17.519
First<00:00:13.980><c> of</c><00:00:14.160><c> all,</c><00:00:14.359><c> because</c><00:00:14.699><c> we</c><00:00:15.099><c> felt</c><00:00:15.300><c> that</c><00:00:15.759><c> after</c><00:00:16.079><c> the</c><00:00:16.359><c> long</c><00:00:16.899><c> and</c>

00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:19.079
protracted<00:00:18.000><c> study</c><00:00:18.280><c> on</c><00:00:18.539><c> Romans,</c><00:00:18.879><c> which</c>

00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:23.079
was<00:00:19.339><c> rather</c><00:00:19.980><c> heavy,</c><00:00:20.760><c> we</c><00:00:20.820><c> believe,</c><00:00:21.320><c> for</c><00:00:21.460><c> many</c><00:00:21.600><c> of</c><00:00:21.800><c> you,</c><00:00:22.539><c> it</c><00:00:22.679><c> would</c><00:00:22.879><c> be</c>

00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:24.120
a<00:00:23.260><c> relief,</c><00:00:23.519><c> perhaps,</c><00:00:23.859><c> that</c><00:00:24.039><c> we</c>

00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:26.839
could<00:00:24.399><c> consider</c><00:00:24.620><c> something</c><00:00:24.980><c> historical,</c><00:00:26.160><c> something</c><00:00:26.460><c> more</c>

00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:28.940
practical,<00:00:27.899><c> and</c><00:00:28.059><c> something</c><00:00:28.320><c> more</c><00:00:28.679><c> simple,</c>

00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:31.219
that<00:00:29.079><c> we</c><00:00:29.100><c> could</c><00:00:29.280><c> all</c><00:00:29.760><c> simply</c><00:00:30.120><c> grasp</c><00:00:30.460><c> on</c><00:00:30.699><c> the</c><00:00:30.800><c> earth,</c><00:00:30.980><c> remember</c>

00:00:31.219 --> 00:00:32.359
that<00:00:31.440><c> chart</c><00:00:31.660><c> immediately,</c><00:00:32.119><c> you</c><00:00:32.240><c> look</c>

00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.479
at<00:00:32.460><c> it,</c><00:00:32.920><c> it's</c><00:00:33.259><c> very</c><00:00:33.439><c> simple,</c><00:00:34.420><c> but</c><00:00:34.740><c> that's</c><00:00:35.179><c> what</c><00:00:35.240><c> we</c><00:00:35.359><c> thought</c>

00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:36.740
we'd<00:00:35.759><c> do,</c><00:00:35.880><c> we'd</c><00:00:36.159><c> choose</c><00:00:36.280><c> something</c><00:00:36.560><c> that's</c>

00:00:36.740 --> 00:00:39.000
more<00:00:36.979><c> historical</c><00:00:37.539><c> and</c><00:00:37.799><c> more</c><00:00:38.079><c> simple,</c><00:00:38.359><c> and</c><00:00:38.520><c> down</c><00:00:38.659><c> the</c><00:00:38.880><c> road,</c>

00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:41.219
that<00:00:39.159><c> we</c><00:00:39.579><c> can</c><00:00:39.840><c> literally</c><00:00:40.140><c> grasp,</c><00:00:41.119><c> and</c>

00:00:41.219 --> 00:00:43.859
only<00:00:41.380><c> having</c><00:00:41.640><c> seven</c><00:00:41.920><c> nights</c><00:00:42.179><c> to</c><00:00:42.380><c> do</c><00:00:42.520><c> it,</c><00:00:42.659><c> of</c><00:00:42.880><c> course,</c><00:00:43.100><c> that</c><00:00:43.219><c> means</c><00:00:43.439><c> we've</c><00:00:43.719><c> got</c><00:00:43.740><c> to</c>

00:00:43.859 --> 00:00:44.820
give<00:00:43.939><c> you</c><00:00:44.240><c> an</c><00:00:44.500><c> overview</c>

00:00:44.820 --> 00:00:48.640
of<00:00:45.060><c> it,</c><00:00:45.640><c> which</c><00:00:45.880><c> many</c><00:00:46.140><c> people</c><00:00:46.439><c> appreciate</c><00:00:47.079><c> as</c><00:00:47.700><c> a</c><00:00:47.840><c> making</c><00:00:47.979><c> a</c><00:00:48.219><c> basis</c><00:00:48.420><c> of</c>

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.340
their<00:00:48.759><c> own</c><00:00:48.920><c> individual</c><00:00:49.380><c> study.</c>

00:00:51.619 --> 00:00:54.780
Again,<00:00:52.020><c> we</c><00:00:52.119><c> thought,</c><00:00:52.500><c> too,</c><00:00:52.579><c> it</c><00:00:52.640><c> was</c><00:00:52.820><c> very</c><00:00:53.119><c> appropriate,</c><00:00:53.500><c> because</c><00:00:53.899><c> during</c><00:00:54.219><c> November</c><00:00:54.619><c> and</c>

00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:56.159
December,<00:00:55.219><c> we</c><00:00:55.380><c> will</c>

00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:01.939
So<00:00:56.840><c> we</c><00:00:57.119><c> hope</c><00:00:57.359><c> that</c><00:00:57.600><c> the</c><00:00:57.799><c> class</c><00:00:58.060><c> will</c><00:00:58.320><c> help</c><00:00:58.500><c> with</c><00:00:58.679><c> your</c><00:00:58.899><c> daily</c><00:00:59.140><c> readings,</c><00:01:00.920><c> and</c><00:01:01.179><c> last,</c><00:01:01.780><c> I</c>

00:01:01.939 --> 00:01:02.799
suppose,<00:01:02.439><c> and</c><00:01:02.520><c> not</c>

00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:05.939
by<00:01:03.020><c> least,</c><00:01:03.740><c> I've</c><00:01:03.920><c> got</c><00:01:03.979><c> to</c><00:01:04.079><c> do</c><00:01:04.140><c> it</c><00:01:04.239><c> for</c><00:01:04.379><c> youth,</c><00:01:04.680><c> but</c><00:01:04.680><c> at</c><00:01:04.859><c> any</c><00:01:05.019><c> rate,</c><00:01:05.780><c> so</c>

00:01:14.019 --> 00:01:16.879

that,<00:10:32.000><c> where</c><00:10:32.259><c> God,</c><00:10:32.679><c> of</c><00:10:33.019><c> course,</c><00:10:33.519><c> wanted</c><00:10:33.659><c> this</c><00:10:33.960><c> man,</c><00:10:35.139><c> and</c><00:10:35.159><c> he</c>

00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:36.559
stretched<00:10:35.600><c> out</c><00:10:35.840><c> and</c><00:10:35.960><c> he</c><00:10:36.059><c> took</c><00:10:36.159><c> him</c><00:10:36.340><c> and</c><00:10:36.419><c> he</c>

00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:38.059
sent<00:10:36.659><c> him</c><00:10:36.820><c> to</c><00:10:36.919><c> Israel.</c>

00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:43.659
And<00:10:40.779><c> here</c><00:10:40.980><c> it</c><00:10:41.179><c> very</c><00:10:41.399><c> graphically</c><00:10:41.899><c> describes</c><00:10:42.480><c> that</c><00:10:42.879><c> point.</c>

00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:47.879
Now,<00:10:45.500><c> you</c><00:10:45.960><c> might</c><00:10:46.179><c> think</c><00:10:46.360><c> this</c><00:10:46.539><c> is</c><00:10:46.740><c> important,</c><00:10:47.019><c> but</c><00:10:47.139><c> it</c><00:10:47.259><c> is</c><00:10:47.480><c> important.</c>

00:10:48.059 --> 00:10:51.899
You<00:10:48.299><c> look</c><00:10:48.500><c> at</c><00:10:48.659><c> this,</c><00:10:49.519><c> Ezekiel</c><00:10:50.080><c> 3</c><00:10:50.379><c> and</c><00:10:50.539><c> verse</c><00:10:50.779><c> 14.</c>

00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.580
So<00:10:52.519><c> the</c><00:10:52.840><c> Spirit</c><00:10:53.139><c> lifted</c><00:10:53.679><c> me</c><00:10:53.980><c> up</c><00:10:54.279><c> and</c><00:10:54.460><c> took</c><00:10:54.820><c> me</c><00:10:55.080><c> away,</c><00:10:55.539><c> and</c><00:10:55.600><c> I</c><00:10:55.879><c> went</c><00:10:56.179><c> in</c>

00:10:56.580 --> 00:10:57.960
bitterness<00:10:56.840><c> in</c><00:10:57.159><c> the</c><00:10:57.360><c> heat</c><00:10:57.480><c> of</c><00:10:57.679><c> my</c>

00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:02.139

00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.840
So<00:11:02.899><c> you</c><00:11:03.059><c> see</c><00:11:03.200><c> here</c><00:11:03.480><c> in</c><00:11:03.580><c> Ezekiel</c><00:11:04.000><c> chapter</c><00:11:04.360><c> 3</c><00:11:04.559><c> and</c><00:11:04.740><c> verse</c><00:11:04.960><c> 14,</c><00:11:05.740><c> we</c>

00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.919
have<00:11:05.980><c> the</c><00:11:06.240><c> prophet</c><00:11:06.500><c> being</c><00:11:06.879><c> lifted</c><00:11:07.399><c> up</c><00:11:07.659><c> by</c>

00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:13.039
the<00:11:08.179><c> Spirit,</c><00:11:09.419><c> and</c><00:11:09.600><c> his</c><00:11:09.879><c> spirit</c><00:11:10.100><c> in</c><00:11:10.299><c> him</c><00:11:10.440><c> is</c><00:11:10.759><c> a</c><00:11:10.980><c> spirit</c><00:11:11.159><c> of</c><00:11:11.379><c> bitterness</c><00:11:11.659><c> and</c><00:11:11.980><c> anger.</c>

00:11:13.299 --> 00:11:17.980
There<00:11:13.500><c> was</c><00:11:13.779><c> in</c><00:11:13.980><c> Ezekiel</c><00:11:14.559><c> some</c><00:11:16.000><c> turmoil</c><00:11:16.679><c> of</c><00:11:17.039><c> thinking</c><00:11:17.299><c> and</c><00:11:17.500><c> of</c><00:11:17.740><c> mind.</c>

00:11:18.100 --> 00:11:20.659
He<00:11:18.240><c> was</c><00:11:18.539><c> caught</c><00:11:18.720><c> up</c><00:11:18.840><c> in</c><00:11:18.960><c> a</c><00:11:19.200><c> turmoil</c><00:11:19.500><c> of</c><00:11:19.779><c> emotion,</c><00:11:20.059><c> and</c><00:11:20.240><c> he</c><00:11:20.360><c> wondered</c><00:11:20.500><c> what</c>

00:11:20.659 --> 00:11:21.159
he<00:11:20.840><c> should</c><00:11:20.960><c> do.</c>

00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:23.740
But<00:11:21.379><c> Yahweh's</c><00:11:21.879><c> hand</c><00:11:22.000><c> was</c><00:11:22.440><c> strong</c><00:11:22.840><c> on</c><00:11:22.940><c> him</c><00:11:23.139><c> as</c><00:11:23.259><c> you're</c><00:11:23.460><c> going</c>

00:11:23.740 --> 00:11:24.440
that<00:11:24.039><c> way.</c>

00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:27.080
So<00:11:24.700><c> that</c><00:11:24.899><c> the</c><00:11:25.080><c> prophets,</c><00:11:26.019><c> therefore,</c><00:11:26.360><c> was</c><00:11:26.480><c> the</c><00:11:26.659><c> minister</c><00:11:26.940><c> of</c>

00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.100
the<00:11:27.279><c> prophets,</c><00:11:27.600><c> was</c><00:11:27.759><c> Yahweh's</c><00:11:28.340><c> hand</c><00:11:28.580><c> upon</c><00:11:28.840><c> that</c>

00:11:29.100 --> 00:11:29.840
prophet.

00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:31.980
Now<00:11:30.259><c> you</c><00:11:30.320><c> say,</c><00:11:30.440><c> why</c><00:11:30.639><c> is</c><00:11:30.820><c> that</c><00:11:30.980><c> so</c><00:11:31.179><c> important</c><00:11:31.480><c> to</c><00:11:31.779><c> stress?</c>

00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:34.399
Well,<00:11:32.519><c> you</c><00:11:32.620><c> see,</c><00:11:32.980><c> brethren</c><00:11:33.080><c> and</c><00:11:33.340><c> sisters,</c><00:11:33.559><c> you</c><00:11:33.820><c> ask</c><00:11:34.080><c> yourself</c>

00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.220
the<00:11:34.600><c> question,</c><00:11:35.120><c> why</c><00:11:35.720><c> did</c><00:11:36.179><c> God</c><00:11:36.539><c> require</c>

00:11:37.220 --> 00:11:38.179
prophets?

00:11:39.940 --> 00:11:42.299
Why<00:11:40.360><c> do</c><00:11:40.519><c> we</c><00:11:40.659><c> have</c><00:11:40.940><c> prophets</c><00:11:41.200><c> in</c><00:11:41.419><c> the</c><00:11:41.580><c> Bible?</c>

00:11:42.740 --> 00:11:44.620
You<00:11:42.940><c> might</c><00:11:43.120><c> say,</c><00:11:43.379><c> well,</c><00:11:43.379><c> it's</c><00:11:43.539><c> obvious,</c><00:11:43.860><c> isn't</c><00:11:44.039><c> it?</c>

00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:49.120
Look,<00:11:46.059><c> was</c><00:11:46.259><c> it</c><00:11:46.480><c> not</c><00:11:46.639><c> the</c><00:11:47.039><c> priests</c><00:11:47.539><c> who</c><00:11:47.879><c> were</c><00:11:48.120><c> selected</c><00:11:48.480><c> by</c><00:11:48.820><c> God</c>

00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:50.740
from<00:11:49.299><c> the</c><00:11:49.460><c> very</c><00:11:49.679><c> beginning</c><00:11:50.059><c> of</c><00:11:50.279><c> Israel's</c>

00:11:50.740 --> 00:11:53.580
history<00:11:51.019><c> that</c><00:11:51.139><c> they</c><00:11:51.379><c> should</c><00:11:51.580><c> be</c><00:11:51.820><c> custodians</c><00:11:52.320><c> of</c><00:11:52.480><c> his</c><00:11:52.679><c> word?</c>

00:11:55.299 --> 00:11:57.500
Was<00:11:55.500><c> it</c><00:11:55.679><c> not</c><00:11:55.840><c> the</c><00:11:56.080><c> priests</c><00:11:56.340><c> whom</c><00:11:56.539><c> God</c><00:11:56.779><c> worked</c><00:11:57.120><c> through?</c>

00:11:57.960 --> 00:11:59.659
Of<00:11:58.299><c> course</c><00:11:58.600><c> it</c><00:11:58.759><c> was.</c>

00:11:59.740 --> 00:12:02.539
And<00:11:59.980><c> we</c><00:12:00.259><c> learn</c><00:12:00.500><c> from</c><00:12:00.639><c> the</c><00:12:00.820><c> scriptures,</c><00:12:01.299><c> from</c><00:12:01.460><c> Malachi's</c><00:12:02.019><c> prophecy,</c><00:12:02.379><c> and</c>

00:12:02.539 --> 00:12:03.860
from<00:12:02.899><c> various</c><00:12:03.179><c> other</c><00:12:03.480><c> sections</c>

00:12:03.860 --> 00:12:08.759
that<00:12:04.320><c> the</c><00:12:04.679><c> priests'</c><00:12:05.120><c> lips</c><00:12:05.379><c> should</c><00:12:05.720><c> keep</c><00:12:06.039><c> knowledge,</c><00:12:07.259><c> and</c><00:12:07.600><c> they</c><00:12:07.779><c> should</c><00:12:08.059><c> seek</c><00:12:08.460><c> the</c>

00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:10.019
word<00:12:09.059><c> Yahweh</c><00:12:09.480><c> at</c><00:12:09.700><c> his</c>

00:12:10.019 --> 00:12:10.340
mouth.

00:12:10.580 --> 00:12:12.740
Why<00:12:10.960><c> would</c><00:12:11.179><c> God</c><00:12:11.460><c> want</c><00:12:11.740><c> prophets?</c>

00:12:13.419 --> 00:12:15.519
Because<00:12:13.840><c> the</c><00:12:14.240><c> priesthood</c><00:12:14.639><c> became</c><00:12:15.139><c> corrupt.</c>

00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:16.139
That's<00:12:15.899><c> why.</c>

00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.220
And<00:12:16.360><c> so</c><00:12:16.480><c> God</c><00:12:16.720><c> stressed</c><00:12:17.000><c> out</c><00:12:17.179><c> and</c><00:12:17.320><c> said,</c><00:12:17.320><c> I</c><00:12:17.399><c> want</c><00:12:17.740><c> you.</c>

00:12:18.220 --> 00:12:21.720
And<00:12:19.179><c> so</c><00:12:19.379><c> he</c><00:12:19.580><c> stretched</c><00:12:19.779><c> his</c><00:12:20.019><c> hand</c><00:12:20.299><c> out,</c><00:12:20.940><c> he</c><00:12:21.139><c> stretched</c><00:12:21.399><c> it</c><00:12:21.580><c> to</c>

00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:23.399
an<00:12:21.860><c> aristocrat,</c><00:12:22.759><c> Isaiah,</c><00:12:22.919><c> he</c><00:12:22.980><c> said,</c><00:12:23.120><c> I</c><00:12:23.139><c> want</c>

00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:23.759
you.

00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.779
He<00:12:24.399><c> went</c><00:12:24.559><c> to</c><00:12:24.720><c> a</c><00:12:24.879><c> country</c><00:12:25.179><c> man,</c><00:12:25.620><c> Micah,</c><00:12:25.840><c> he</c><00:12:25.960><c> said,</c><00:12:26.100><c> I</c><00:12:26.120><c> want</c><00:12:26.399><c> you.</c>

00:12:27.059 --> 00:12:29.679
He<00:12:27.200><c> went</c><00:12:27.360><c> to</c><00:12:27.580><c> a</c><00:12:27.840><c> herdsman</c><00:12:28.159><c> in</c><00:12:28.360><c> Amos</c><00:12:28.620><c> and</c><00:12:28.759><c> said,</c><00:12:28.860><c> I</c><00:12:28.980><c> want</c><00:12:29.259><c> you.</c>

00:12:30.059 --> 00:12:31.879
He<00:12:30.159><c> went</c><00:12:30.340><c> to</c><00:12:30.620><c> Jonah,</c><00:12:30.840><c> he</c><00:12:30.860><c> said,</c><00:12:31.039><c> I</c><00:12:31.100><c> want</c><00:12:31.379><c> you.</c>

00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:34.460
Because,<00:12:32.639><c> brethren</c><00:12:32.940><c> and</c><00:12:33.259><c> sisters,</c><00:12:33.539><c> the</c><00:12:33.740><c> priesthood</c><00:12:34.120><c> had</c>

And<00:12:43.559><c> there</c><00:12:43.720><c> was</c><00:12:43.879><c> a</c><00:12:44.080><c> necessity</c><00:12:44.740><c> for</c><00:12:45.200><c> the</c><00:12:45.419><c> ministry</c><00:12:45.960><c> of</c><00:12:46.320><c> the</c><00:12:46.600><c> prophets.</c>

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:50.500
God<00:12:47.720><c> was</c><00:12:47.980><c> reaching</c><00:12:48.399><c> out</c><00:12:48.860><c> and</c><00:12:49.100><c> saying,</c><00:12:49.379><c> I</c><00:12:49.379><c> want</c><00:12:49.620><c> you,</c><00:12:49.980><c> I</c><00:12:50.059><c> want</c><00:12:50.259><c> you.</c>

00:12:50.580 --> 00:12:53.279
And<00:12:50.720><c> he</c><00:12:50.799><c> selected</c><00:12:51.080><c> them</c><00:12:51.259><c> from</c><00:12:51.539><c> all</c><00:12:51.840><c> walks</c><00:12:52.100><c> of</c><00:12:52.379><c> life,</c><00:12:53.179><c> from</c>

00:12:58.679 --> 00:12:59.899
He<00:12:58.799><c> said,</c><00:12:59.159><c> I</c><00:12:59.159><c> just</c><00:12:59.460><c> selected</c><00:12:59.659><c> them.</c>

00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.480
And<00:13:00.340><c> 16</c><00:13:00.779><c> of</c><00:13:00.960><c> them</c><00:13:01.080><c> he</c><00:13:01.259><c> selected</c><00:13:01.600><c> that</c><00:13:01.860><c> wrote</c><00:13:02.000><c> books,</c><00:13:02.600><c> and</c><00:13:02.779><c> about</c><00:13:03.039><c> 18</c>

00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:17.519
And<00:13:13.200><c> there</c><00:13:13.379><c> was</c><00:13:13.679><c> scarcely</c><00:13:14.100><c> a</c><00:13:14.340><c> period</c><00:13:14.580><c> from</c><00:13:14.820><c> the</c><00:13:15.019><c> time</c><00:13:15.179><c> the</c><00:13:15.399><c> kingdom</c><00:13:15.659><c> divided</c><00:13:16.320><c> between</c><00:13:16.840><c> Jehadiah</c><00:13:17.340><c> and</c>

00:13:22.980 --> 00:13:26.139
And<00:13:23.159><c> we</c><00:13:23.299><c> might</c><00:13:23.480><c> therefore</c><00:13:23.919><c> say</c><00:13:24.299><c> that</c><00:13:24.480><c> the</c><00:13:24.700><c> prophet</c><00:13:25.039><c> was</c><00:13:25.899><c> like</c>

00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:30.480
There<00:13:28.620><c> the</c><00:13:28.700><c> kingdom</c><00:13:28.940><c> was</c><00:13:29.220><c> organized</c><00:13:29.639><c> with</c><00:13:29.799><c> its</c><00:13:30.000><c> kings</c><00:13:30.299><c> and</c>

00:13:32.820 --> 00:13:35.299
All<00:13:33.120><c> of</c><00:13:33.240><c> that</c><00:13:33.360><c> was</c><00:13:33.639><c> officially</c><00:13:34.159><c> organized.</c>

00:13:36.059 --> 00:13:39.620
But<00:13:36.340><c> there</c><00:13:36.480><c> was</c><00:13:36.740><c> no</c><00:13:37.259><c> real</c><00:13:37.940><c> official</c><00:13:38.440><c> organization</c><00:13:39.139><c> with</c><00:13:39.340><c> the</c>

00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:44.559
I'll<00:13:41.279><c> show</c><00:13:41.500><c> you</c><00:13:41.639><c> in</c><00:13:41.740><c> a</c><00:13:41.779><c> moment</c><00:13:41.899><c> that</c><00:13:42.000><c> there</c><00:13:42.240><c> was</c><00:13:42.419><c> a</c><00:13:42.559><c> sort</c><00:13:42.679><c> of</c><00:13:42.899><c> organization,</c><00:13:44.019><c> but</c><00:13:44.220><c> not</c><00:13:44.379><c> in</c>

00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:44.879
the<00:13:44.700><c> sense</c>

00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.500
of<00:13:45.059><c> the</c><00:13:45.320><c> kings</c><00:13:45.580><c> and</c><00:13:45.720><c> the</c><00:13:45.960><c> priests</c><00:13:46.159><c> and</c><00:13:46.340><c> the</c><00:13:46.580><c> Levites.</c>

00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:51.539
So<00:13:48.220><c> it's</c><00:13:48.360><c> why</c><00:13:48.500><c> God</c><00:13:48.799><c> set</c><00:13:49.059><c> up</c><00:13:49.240><c> a</c><00:13:49.379><c> kingdom</c><00:13:50.379><c> with</c><00:13:50.980><c> all</c><00:13:51.240><c> its</c>

00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:54.019
And<00:13:53.500><c> it</c><00:13:53.639><c> went</c><00:13:53.720><c> wrong.</c>

00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.120
He<00:13:54.200><c> said</c><00:13:54.299><c> to</c><00:13:54.399><c> that</c><00:13:54.519><c> man,</c><00:13:54.700><c> I</c><00:13:54.860><c> want</c><00:13:55.139><c> you</c><00:13:55.460><c> to</c><00:13:55.620><c> go</c><00:13:55.759><c> and</c><00:13:55.940><c> tell</c><00:13:56.039><c> them</c>

00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:57.460
where<00:13:56.279><c> they've</c><00:13:56.559><c> gone</c><00:13:56.600><c> wrong.</c>

00:13:58.299 --> 00:14:01.460
Now<00:13:58.440><c> in</c><00:13:58.600><c> the</c><00:13:58.740><c> 2nd</c><00:13:58.960><c> of</c><00:13:59.059><c> Chronicles</c><00:13:59.340><c> 36,</c><00:14:00.360><c> that's</c><00:14:00.700><c> exactly</c><00:14:01.059><c> how</c>

this<00:14:01.759><c> word</c><00:14:02.059><c> of</c><00:14:02.159><c> God</c><00:14:02.379><c> presents</c><00:14:02.820><c> it.</c>

00:14:03.059 --> 00:14:05.620
That's<00:14:03.259><c> why</c><00:14:03.480><c> God</c><00:14:03.799><c> brought</c><00:14:04.080><c> forth</c><00:14:04.379><c> the</c><00:14:04.659><c> prophets.</c>

But<00:14:59.980><c> they</c><00:15:00.340><c> mocked</c><00:15:00.879><c> the</c><00:15:01.000><c> messengers</c><00:15:01.320><c> of</c><00:15:01.539><c> God,</c><00:15:02.580><c> despised</c><00:15:03.019><c> his</c>

00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:10.940
Now<00:15:10.100><c> why</c><00:15:10.299><c> did</c><00:15:10.559><c> he</c><00:15:10.559><c> send</c><00:15:10.740><c> them?</c>

00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.580
Because<00:15:11.500><c> verse</c><00:15:11.840><c> 14</c><00:15:12.159><c> says,</c><00:15:12.700><c> moreover,</c><00:15:13.139><c> all</c><00:15:13.480><c> the</c><00:15:13.779><c> chief</c><00:15:13.940><c> of</c><00:15:14.279><c> the</c>

very<00:15:16.759><c> much.</c>

00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:20.399

Now<00:22:35.799><c> you</c><00:22:36.000><c> think</c><00:22:36.140><c> of</c><00:22:36.279><c> that</c><00:22:36.460><c> message</c><00:22:36.799><c> to</c><00:22:37.000><c> Israel,</c><00:22:37.960><c> it</c><00:22:38.160><c> was</c><00:22:38.579><c> death</c>

And<00:22:47.119><c> you</c><00:22:47.279><c> can</c><00:22:47.460><c> imagine</c><00:22:47.779><c> that</c><00:22:48.119><c> poor</c><00:22:48.319><c> man,</c><00:22:49.279><c> going</c><00:22:49.500><c> to</c><00:22:49.700><c> his</c><00:22:49.940><c> people,</c><00:22:50.660><c> who</c>

00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:10.420
But<00:23:04.920><c> it</c><00:23:04.920><c> was</c><00:23:05.119><c> in</c><00:23:05.240><c> his</c><00:23:05.460><c> bones,</c><00:23:07.720><c> burning</c><00:23:08.039><c> in</c><00:23:08.900><c> him,</c><00:23:09.079><c> and</c><00:23:09.140><c> he</c><00:23:09.299><c> couldn't</c><00:23:09.720><c> hold</c><00:23:10.160><c> out.</c>

00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:11.700
That's<00:23:11.099><c> inspiration.</c>

00:23:12.019 --> 00:23:13.440
But<00:23:12.079><c> it</c><00:23:12.299><c> affected</c><00:23:12.519><c> him.</c>

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:15.400
He<00:23:14.079><c> wasn't</c><00:23:14.339><c> a</c><00:23:14.539><c> robot.</c>

00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:17.619
If<00:23:15.660><c> he'd</c><00:23:15.880><c> have</c><00:23:16.000><c> had</c><00:23:16.059><c> his</c><00:23:16.339><c> way,</c><00:23:16.480><c> he'd</c><00:23:16.700><c> have</c><00:23:16.799><c> turned</c><00:23:16.980><c> it</c><00:23:17.200><c> off.</c>

00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:20.339
But<00:23:18.059><c> it</c><00:23:18.079><c> was</c><00:23:18.299><c> in</c><00:23:18.380><c> his</c><00:23:18.660><c> bones</c><00:23:18.900><c> like</c><00:23:19.160><c> a</c><00:23:19.460><c> fire.</c>

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:23.099
He<00:23:20.700><c> couldn't</c><00:23:21.079><c> withhold</c><00:23:21.440><c> it</c><00:23:21.599><c> because</c><00:23:21.779><c> it</c><00:23:21.880><c> was</c><00:23:22.160><c> God's</c><00:23:22.619><c> word,</c><00:23:22.759><c> and</c><00:23:22.880><c> he</c>

00:23:23.099 --> 00:23:24.480
loved<00:23:23.319><c> it</c><00:23:23.480><c> as</c><00:23:23.779><c> much</c><00:23:24.079><c> as</c><00:23:24.240><c> it</c><00:23:24.380><c> brought</c>

00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:25.519
him<00:23:24.700><c> into</c><00:23:24.960><c> disrepute.</c>

00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:28.640
He<00:23:25.920><c> loved</c><00:23:26.220><c> that</c><00:23:26.519><c> word,</c><00:23:26.640><c> and</c><00:23:26.839><c> he</c><00:23:27.180><c> spoke</c><00:23:27.359><c> it</c><00:23:27.599><c> forth</c><00:23:27.720><c> with</c><00:23:27.980><c> great</c><00:23:28.240><c> fulness.</c>

00:23:29.059 --> 00:23:31.680
Now<00:23:29.220><c> that's</c><00:23:29.519><c> an</c><00:23:29.599><c> illustration</c><00:23:30.259><c> of</c><00:23:30.819><c> how</c><00:23:31.000><c> the</c><00:23:31.339><c> prophets</c><00:23:31.420><c> were</c>

00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:33.960

00:23:36.619 --> 00:23:40.140

00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:55.019
I<00:23:51.559><c> want</c><00:23:51.680><c> to</c><00:23:51.779><c> show</c><00:23:51.920><c> you</c><00:23:52.140><c> two</c><00:23:52.359><c> references</c><00:23:52.880><c> about</c><00:23:53.599><c> those</c><00:23:53.859><c> limitations.</c>

He<00:25:17.440><c> didn't</c><00:25:17.960><c> speak</c><00:25:18.420><c> so</c><00:25:18.799><c> much</c><00:25:19.160><c> what</c><00:25:19.359><c> God</c><00:25:19.619><c> told</c><00:25:19.940><c> him</c><00:25:20.119><c> to</c><00:25:20.299><c> speak</c><00:25:20.519><c> in</c>

00:25:20.700 --> 00:25:22.799
that<00:25:20.980><c> sense,</c><00:25:21.740><c> but</c><00:25:21.980><c> that</c><00:25:22.140><c> God</c><00:25:22.440><c> spoke</c>

00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:23.920
in<00:25:23.099><c> him.</c>

00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:27.160
The<00:25:24.799><c> prophets</c><00:25:25.019><c> never</c><00:25:25.380><c> really</c><00:25:26.299><c> showed</c><00:25:26.559><c> God</c><00:25:26.779><c> to</c><00:25:26.880><c> the</c><00:25:27.019><c> people</c>

00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:27.740
like<00:25:27.480><c> that.</c>

00:25:27.740 --> 00:25:29.539
They<00:25:27.900><c> might</c><00:25:28.140><c> have</c><00:25:28.279><c> spoke</c><00:25:28.500><c> on</c><00:25:28.680><c> behalf</c><00:25:29.079><c> of</c><00:25:29.339><c> God.</c>

00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:32.500
They<00:25:29.960><c> may</c><00:25:30.200><c> have</c><00:25:30.420><c> demonstrated</c><00:25:30.940><c> certain</c><00:25:31.380><c> characteristics</c><00:25:31.980><c> of</c><00:25:32.200><c> God.</c>

00:25:32.740 --> 00:25:36.079
But<00:25:32.960><c> never</c><00:25:33.299><c> could</c><00:25:33.500><c> it</c><00:25:33.680><c> be</c><00:25:33.880><c> said</c><00:25:34.059><c> of</c><00:25:34.240><c> any</c><00:25:34.539><c> prophet</c><00:25:34.779><c> that</c><00:25:35.019><c> God</c><00:25:35.339><c> spoke</c><00:25:35.700><c> in</c>

00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:37.299
him<00:25:36.380><c> like</c><00:25:36.599><c> he</c><00:25:36.779><c> spoke</c><00:25:37.019><c> about</c>

00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:37.700
that<00:25:37.500><c> one.</c>

00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:42.299
So<00:25:38.380><c> the</c><00:25:38.539><c> many</c><00:25:38.759><c> parts</c><00:25:39.140><c> and</c><00:25:39.319><c> the</c><00:25:39.440><c> many</c><00:25:39.640><c> ways</c><00:25:40.019><c> all</c><00:25:40.339><c> over</c><00:25:40.539><c> the</c><00:25:40.759><c> place,</c><00:25:41.200><c> piecemeal,</c><00:25:41.579><c> a</c><00:25:41.700><c> bit</c><00:25:41.779><c> here</c><00:25:41.980><c> and</c><00:25:42.059><c> a</c><00:25:42.220><c> bit</c>

00:25:42.299 --> 00:25:45.319
there,<00:25:42.940><c> all</c><00:25:43.220><c> came</c><00:25:43.460><c> together</c><00:25:43.799><c> and</c><00:25:44.099><c> there</c><00:25:44.299><c> it</c><00:25:44.519><c> was.</c>

00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:49.299
So<00:25:46.180><c> what</c><00:25:46.380><c> the</c><00:25:46.640><c> prophets'</c><00:25:46.900><c> message</c><00:25:47.079><c> is</c><00:25:47.279><c> all</c><00:25:47.460><c> about</c><00:25:47.740><c> is</c><00:25:48.019><c> God's</c><00:25:48.519><c> Son.</c>

00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:52.160
Now,<00:25:50.559><c> there's</c><00:25:50.740><c> their</c><00:25:50.880><c> limitations,</c><00:25:51.460><c> but</c><00:25:51.599><c> when</c><00:25:51.680><c> you</c><00:25:51.819><c> put</c><00:25:51.920><c> them</c>

00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:54.119
together,<00:25:53.380><c> there's</c><00:25:53.559><c> the</c><00:25:53.799><c> completion</c>

00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:57.660

00:25:57.940 --> 00:26:04.980
Now,<00:25:58.160><c> the</c><00:25:58.319><c> 1</c><00:25:58.519><c> Peter</c><00:25:58.880><c> 1</c><00:25:59.259><c> also</c><00:26:00.059><c> is</c><00:26:00.400><c> another</c><00:26:00.640><c> reference</c><00:26:00.960><c> which</c><00:26:01.240><c> mentions</c><00:26:02.000><c> certain</c><00:26:02.559><c> limitations</c><00:26:03.700><c> of</c><00:26:04.700><c> the</c>

00:26:04.980 --> 00:26:05.920

00:26:08.299 --> 00:26:10.619
And<00:26:08.480><c> it's</c><00:26:08.700><c> necessary</c><00:26:08.940><c> for</c><00:26:09.160><c> us</c><00:26:09.319><c> to</c><00:26:09.500><c> observe</c><00:26:09.859><c> these</c><00:26:10.200><c> things</c><00:26:10.420><c> in</c>

00:26:10.619 --> 00:26:11.619

00:26:11.619 --> 00:26:15.900
we<00:26:11.859><c> make</c><00:26:12.339><c> fundamental</c><00:26:12.759><c> mistakes</c><00:26:13.240><c> in</c><00:26:13.400><c> trying</c><00:26:13.599><c> to</c><00:26:13.859><c> understand</c><00:26:14.259><c> them.</c>

Unto<00:26:45.460><c> whom</c><00:26:45.779><c> it</c><00:26:46.039><c> was</c><00:26:46.299><c> revealed</c><00:26:47.039><c> that</c><00:26:48.400><c> not</c><00:26:48.960><c> unto</c><00:26:49.140><c> themselves,</c>

00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:10.819
Let<00:27:04.900><c> me</c><00:27:05.019><c> read</c><00:27:05.220><c> verse</c><00:27:05.460><c> 12</c><00:27:05.720><c> again,</c><00:27:06.799><c> and</c><00:27:07.460><c> I'll</c><00:27:07.740><c> try</c><00:27:07.980><c> and</c><00:27:09.200><c> paraphrase</c><00:27:09.619><c> this</c><00:27:09.819><c> a</c><00:27:09.980><c> bit.</c>

00:27:11.259 --> 00:27:15.559
The<00:27:11.619><c> prophets</c><00:27:12.019><c> were</c><00:27:12.319><c> told</c><00:27:12.900><c> that</c><00:27:14.299><c> their</c><00:27:14.559><c> message</c><00:27:14.799><c> was</c><00:27:15.059><c> really</c>

00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:19.359
not<00:27:16.220><c> intended</c><00:27:16.900><c> for</c><00:27:17.420><c> them</c><00:27:17.839><c> in</c><00:27:18.099><c> its</c><00:27:18.339><c> entirety,</c>

00:27:19.859 --> 00:27:25.559

00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:28.700
you<00:27:25.980><c> by</c><00:27:26.319><c> the</c><00:27:26.579><c> apostles</c><00:27:27.220><c> to</c><00:27:28.559><c> whom</c>

00:27:28.700 --> 00:27:30.359
it<00:27:28.839><c> has</c><00:27:29.000><c> all</c><00:27:29.160><c> been</c><00:27:29.380><c> revealed.</c>

00:27:30.900 --> 00:27:33.980
So<00:27:31.279><c> the</c><00:27:31.640><c> prophets</c><00:27:31.839><c> were</c><00:27:32.200><c> given</c><00:27:32.440><c> to</c><00:27:32.799><c> understand</c><00:27:33.359><c> that</c><00:27:33.640><c> they</c>

00:27:33.980 --> 00:27:37.000
had<00:27:34.180><c> limitations,</c><00:27:35.559><c> and</c><00:27:36.019><c> they</c><00:27:36.240><c> knew</c><00:27:36.539><c> that.</c>

00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:41.500
Now<00:27:38.079><c> what</c><00:27:38.319><c> did</c><00:27:38.539><c> those</c><00:27:38.799><c> limitations</c><00:27:39.519><c> mainly</c><00:27:40.059><c> consist</c><00:27:40.599><c> of?</c>

00:27:42.019 --> 00:27:47.019
Well<00:27:42.119><c> Peter</c><00:27:42.279><c> says</c><00:27:42.539><c> it</c><00:27:42.640><c> was</c><00:27:43.019><c> what</c><00:27:43.660><c> or</c><00:27:45.019><c> what</c><00:27:45.579><c> manner</c><00:27:45.839><c> of</c><00:27:46.180><c> time.</c>

00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:51.700
So<00:27:47.980><c> they</c><00:27:48.319><c> didn't</c><00:27:48.819><c> get</c><00:27:49.099><c> the</c><00:27:49.380><c> whole</c><00:27:49.740><c> story,</c><00:27:50.819><c> that</c><00:27:50.960><c> is</c><00:27:51.380><c> one</c>

00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:54.799
He<00:27:53.759><c> didn't</c><00:27:53.759><c> get</c><00:27:53.900><c> the</c><00:27:54.160><c> whole</c><00:27:54.440><c> story.</c>

00:27:55.180 --> 00:27:57.119
There<00:27:55.259><c> were</c><00:27:55.500><c> certain</c><00:27:56.259><c> limitations.</c>

00:27:57.500 --> 00:27:59.059

00:41:09.099 --> 00:41:10.300
That's<00:41:09.320><c> what</c><00:41:09.460><c> that</c><00:41:09.679><c> woman</c><00:41:09.840><c> had</c><00:41:10.000><c> to</c><00:41:10.139><c> do.</c>

00:41:10.300 --> 00:41:13.280
So<00:41:10.780><c> you</c><00:41:10.980><c> find</c><00:41:11.280><c> therefore</c><00:41:11.579><c> that</c><00:41:11.920><c> Samuel</c><00:41:12.179><c> commenced</c><00:41:12.579><c> a</c><00:41:12.820><c> movement</c><00:41:13.000><c> which</c>

00:41:22.219 --> 00:41:24.320
The<00:41:22.400><c> first</c><00:41:22.619><c> thing</c><00:41:22.760><c> God</c><00:41:23.039><c> knows</c><00:41:23.239><c> is</c><00:41:23.400><c> what</c><00:41:23.639><c> have</c><00:41:23.920><c> you</c><00:41:23.920><c> got</c><00:41:24.099><c> in</c>

00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:29.400
Before<00:41:27.500><c> we</c><00:41:27.760><c> start</c><00:41:27.940><c> talking</c><00:41:28.159><c> about</c><00:41:28.360><c> what</c><00:41:28.500><c> the</c><00:41:28.599><c> accluse</c><00:41:28.940><c> or</c><00:41:29.119><c> God</c>

And<00:41:33.019><c> when</c><00:41:33.139><c> we</c><00:41:33.380><c> share</c><00:41:33.559><c> that,</c><00:41:33.900><c> we'll</c><00:41:33.980><c> have</c><00:41:34.139><c> sufficient</c><00:41:34.519><c> to</c><00:41:34.639><c> live</c><00:41:34.840><c> on.</c>

00:41:35.380 --> 00:41:38.760
That's<00:41:35.619><c> what</c><00:41:35.820><c> God</c><00:41:36.039><c> told</c><00:41:36.340><c> that</c><00:41:36.559><c> woman,</c><00:41:37.000><c> and</c><00:41:37.179><c> that</c><00:41:37.420><c> was</c><00:41:37.599><c> the</c><00:41:37.800><c> message</c><00:41:37.960><c> that</c><00:41:38.179><c> came</c><00:41:38.420><c> home</c><00:41:38.619><c> to</c>

00:41:43.059 --> 00:41:46.380
And<00:41:43.199><c> when</c><00:41:43.380><c> they</c><00:41:43.679><c> did,</c><00:41:44.000><c> they</c><00:41:44.340><c> lived,</c><00:41:45.539><c> and</c><00:41:45.699><c> they</c><00:41:45.880><c> lived</c><00:41:46.099><c> well.</c>

00:41:46.659 --> 00:41:48.199

00:41:48.380 --> 00:41:50.380
They<00:41:48.480><c> might</c><00:41:48.679><c> not</c><00:41:48.820><c> have</c><00:41:49.000><c> always</c><00:41:49.199><c> had</c><00:41:49.519><c> comforts</c><00:41:50.000><c> in</c><00:41:50.119><c> life,</c>

00:41:53.239 --> 00:41:53.980
God<00:41:53.519><c> was</c><00:41:53.780><c> with</c><00:41:53.920><c> them,</c>

00:41:54.019 --> 00:41:56.079

00:41:58.380 --> 00:42:00.280
It<00:41:58.440><c> was</c><00:41:58.679><c> a</c><00:41:58.840><c> wonderful</c><00:41:59.219><c> ministry.</c>

00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:40.619
Now,<00:43:38.460><c> I</c><00:43:38.599><c> hear</c><00:43:38.699><c> that</c><00:43:38.920><c> word</c><00:43:39.360><c> deliberately</c><00:43:39.880><c> because</c><00:43:40.199><c> I</c><00:43:40.380><c> think</c><00:43:40.500><c> we</c>

00:43:43.659 --> 00:43:46.679
Israel<00:43:43.940><c> was</c><00:43:44.179><c> described</c><00:43:44.579><c> as</c><00:43:44.800><c> the</c><00:43:44.980><c> Ecclesia</c><00:43:45.360><c> in</c><00:43:45.599><c> the</c><00:43:45.760><c> wilderness.</c>

00:43:47.500 --> 00:43:49.380
And<00:43:47.619><c> if</c><00:43:47.760><c> Israel</c><00:43:48.059><c> were</c><00:43:48.300><c> in</c><00:43:48.340><c> the</c><00:43:48.519><c> wilderness,</c><00:43:48.920><c> we're</c><00:43:49.019><c> described</c>

00:43:51.099 --> 00:43:54.099
then<00:43:51.280><c> the</c><00:43:51.659><c> Hebrews</c><00:43:52.000><c> could</c><00:43:52.420><c> actually</c><00:43:53.000><c> be</c><00:43:53.340><c> described</c><00:43:53.760><c> as</c><00:43:53.920><c> the</c>

00:43:55.119 --> 00:43:57.739
It's<00:43:55.860><c> still</c><00:43:56.119><c> the</c><00:43:56.280><c> same</c><00:43:56.480><c> accretion,</c><00:43:56.920><c> it's</c><00:43:57.059><c> under</c><00:43:57.179><c> a</c><00:43:57.280><c> different</c>

00:44:00.219 --> 00:44:01.960
So,<00:44:00.400><c> you</c><00:44:00.460><c> know,</c><00:44:00.519><c> there's</c><00:44:00.719><c> a</c><00:44:00.860><c> great</c><00:44:01.059><c> lesson</c><00:44:01.300><c> in</c><00:44:01.460><c> all</c><00:44:01.639><c> this</c><00:44:01.760><c> for</c>

00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:06.719
Matter<00:44:04.400><c> of</c><00:44:04.519><c> fact,</c><00:44:04.840><c> I</c><00:44:04.880><c> would</c><00:44:05.119><c> say</c><00:44:05.280><c> that</c><00:44:05.800><c> the</c><00:44:06.000><c> lessons,</c><00:44:06.400><c> I'm</c><00:44:06.559><c> now</c>

00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:07.599
going<00:44:06.860><c> to</c><00:44:07.000><c> point</c><00:44:07.139><c> out</c><00:44:07.300><c> to</c><00:44:07.440><c> you,</c>

00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:10.639

00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:13.260
They<00:44:11.340><c> really</c><00:44:11.860><c> are</c><00:44:12.320><c> vital.</c>

00:44:13.579 --> 00:44:16.960
Because<00:44:13.840><c> when</c><00:44:14.099><c> that</c><00:44:14.340><c> kingdom</c><00:44:14.539><c> became</c><00:44:14.920><c> divided,</c><00:44:16.679><c> we've</c><00:44:16.840><c> gone</c>

00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:17.739
into<00:44:17.199><c> the</c><00:44:17.480><c> law,</c>

00:44:17.940 --> 00:44:20.400
Jeroboam<00:44:18.420><c> took</c><00:44:18.860><c> the</c><00:44:19.159><c> majority</c><00:44:19.559><c> of</c><00:44:19.760><c> the</c><00:44:19.920><c> people,</c><00:44:20.139><c> didn't</c><00:44:20.260><c> he,</c>

00:44:20.500 --> 00:44:21.519

00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:23.619
He<00:44:22.139><c> got,</c><00:44:22.280><c> of</c><00:44:22.440><c> course,</c><00:44:22.599><c> the</c><00:44:22.800><c> ten</c><00:44:23.099><c> tribes.</c>

00:44:23.619 --> 00:44:27.059
And<00:44:24.679><c> wouldn't</c><00:44:25.019><c> the</c><00:44:25.300><c> three</c><00:44:25.480><c> of</c><00:44:25.599><c> them</c><00:44:25.719><c> in</c><00:44:25.880><c> the</c><00:44:26.039><c> south</c><00:44:26.480><c> have</c><00:44:26.860><c> left</c>

00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:33.800
So<00:44:30.500><c> when</c><00:44:30.679><c> it</c><00:44:30.880><c> started</c><00:44:31.119><c> out,</c><00:44:32.579><c> with</c><00:44:32.599><c> Israel</c><00:44:32.960><c> numerically</c><00:44:33.599><c> at</c>

00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:46.079
Now,<00:44:44.280><c> this</c><00:44:44.460><c> is</c><00:44:44.780><c> very</c><00:44:45.139><c> interesting.</c>

00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:49.119
This<00:44:47.719><c> is</c><00:44:47.840><c> what</c><00:44:48.059><c> happened.</c>

00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:55.579
There<00:44:51.139><c> was</c><00:44:51.340><c> a</c><00:44:51.559><c> joy</c><00:44:51.800><c> in</c><00:44:52.039><c> Judah,</c><00:44:54.320><c> and</c><00:44:54.400><c> a</c><00:44:54.619><c> cause</c><00:44:54.820><c> for</c><00:44:55.039><c> the</c><00:44:55.280><c> decline</c>

When<00:50:24.480><c> you</c><00:50:24.659><c> come</c><00:50:24.920><c> to</c><00:50:25.019><c> your</c><00:50:25.199><c> ecclesial</c><00:50:25.599><c> ballot,</c><00:50:27.480><c> we</c><00:50:27.639><c> say</c><00:50:27.900><c> we're</c>

00:50:28.780 --> 00:50:30.500
going<00:50:28.880><c> to</c><00:50:29.019><c> manifest</c><00:50:29.340><c> God</c><00:50:29.699><c> in</c><00:50:29.900><c> the</c><00:50:29.980><c> coming</c><00:50:30.179><c> age.</c>

00:50:30.699 --> 00:50:32.400
We<00:50:30.940><c> say</c><00:50:31.059><c> we're</c><00:50:31.159><c> going</c><00:50:31.280><c> to</c><00:50:31.400><c> manifest</c><00:50:31.739><c> God</c><00:50:32.000><c> today.</c>

00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:35.719
You<00:50:33.019><c> don't</c><00:50:33.360><c> find</c><00:50:33.679><c> God</c><00:50:33.940><c> telling</c><00:50:34.199><c> you</c><00:50:34.400><c> in</c><00:50:34.500><c> the</c><00:50:34.599><c> Bible</c><00:50:34.760><c> to</c><00:50:34.960><c> give</c><00:50:35.099><c> everyone</c><00:50:35.360><c> a</c><00:50:35.599><c> go.</c>

00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:38.860
You<00:50:36.280><c> go</c><00:50:36.480><c> back</c><00:50:36.679><c> to</c><00:50:36.840><c> God's</c><00:50:37.260><c> law</c><00:50:37.440><c> and</c><00:50:37.659><c> you</c><00:50:37.920><c> see</c><00:50:38.019><c> who</c><00:50:38.199><c> he</c><00:50:38.440><c> selected.</c>

00:50:39.219 --> 00:50:40.440
He<00:50:39.380><c> got</c><00:50:39.579><c> a</c><00:50:39.659><c> body</c><00:50:39.920><c> of</c><00:50:40.179><c> men.</c>

00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:41.760
We<00:50:40.699><c> don't</c><00:50:40.860><c> do</c><00:50:41.079><c> this</c><00:50:41.360><c> either.</c>

00:50:41.980 --> 00:50:43.699
And<00:50:42.099><c> I</c><00:50:42.260><c> don't</c><00:50:42.440><c> think</c><00:50:42.500><c> we</c><00:50:42.699><c> should</c><00:50:42.880><c> because</c><00:50:43.079><c> we're</c><00:50:43.280><c> not</c><00:50:43.480><c> called</c>

00:50:43.699 --> 00:50:44.280
upon<00:50:43.920><c> to</c><00:50:44.059><c> do</c><00:50:44.139><c> this.</c>

00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:45.699
But<00:50:44.400><c> this</c><00:50:44.579><c> is</c><00:50:44.679><c> what</c><00:50:44.800><c> he</c><00:50:45.039><c> did.</c>

00:50:45.739 --> 00:50:48.760
He<00:50:45.900><c> got</c><00:50:46.099><c> a</c><00:50:46.500><c> tribe</c><00:50:46.840><c> and</c><00:50:47.239><c> he</c><00:50:47.460><c> said</c><00:50:47.579><c> to</c><00:50:48.059><c> the</c><00:50:48.059><c> rest</c><00:50:48.340><c> of</c><00:50:48.500><c> Israel,</c>

00:50:48.820 --> 00:50:50.440
I<00:50:48.920><c> want</c><00:50:49.199><c> a</c><00:50:49.440><c> tenth</c><00:50:49.599><c> of</c><00:50:49.800><c> all</c><00:50:49.920><c> your</c><00:50:50.099><c> income.</c>

00:50:50.739 --> 00:50:52.420
I<00:50:50.880><c> want</c><00:50:51.019><c> to</c><00:50:51.159><c> keep</c><00:50:51.300><c> them</c><00:50:51.480><c> out</c><00:50:51.599><c> of</c><00:50:51.760><c> work.</c>

00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:55.119
And<00:50:53.099><c> he</c><00:50:53.400><c> set</c><00:50:53.699><c> them</c><00:50:53.940><c> to</c><00:50:54.179><c> work</c><00:50:54.320><c> in</c><00:50:54.579><c> his</c><00:50:54.820><c> word.</c>

00:50:55.579 --> 00:50:58.800
And<00:50:55.699><c> he</c><00:50:55.800><c> put</c><00:50:55.960><c> them</c><00:50:56.159><c> in</c><00:50:56.340><c> 48</c><00:50:56.719><c> cities</c><00:50:57.179><c> all</c><00:50:57.500><c> over</c><00:50:57.659><c> Israel.</c>

00:50:59.039 --> 00:51:02.159
So<00:50:59.519><c> there</c><00:50:59.820><c> wasn't</c><00:51:00.199><c> a</c><00:51:00.400><c> brother</c><00:51:00.619><c> or</c><00:51:00.820><c> a</c><00:51:00.980><c> sister</c><00:51:01.260><c> who</c><00:51:01.539><c> didn't</c><00:51:01.900><c> have</c>

00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:03.860
access<00:51:02.500><c> to</c><00:51:02.739><c> a</c><00:51:03.000><c> student</c><00:51:03.260><c> of</c><00:51:03.440><c> the</c><00:51:03.599><c> word.</c>

00:51:04.280 --> 00:51:06.940
Now,<00:51:04.619><c> although</c><00:51:04.960><c> they</c><00:51:05.179><c> became</c><00:51:05.519><c> corrupt,</c><00:51:05.920><c> that</c><00:51:06.019><c> wasn't</c><00:51:06.320><c> God's</c><00:51:06.760><c> fault.</c>

00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:08.519
He<00:51:07.219><c> didn't</c><00:51:07.500><c> design</c><00:51:07.800><c> them</c><00:51:07.920><c> to</c><00:51:08.099><c> do</c><00:51:08.199><c> that.</c>

00:51:08.820 --> 00:51:12.159
He<00:51:09.139><c> designed</c><00:51:09.579><c> the</c><00:51:09.840><c> Levites</c><00:51:10.159><c> in</c><00:51:10.420><c> 48</c><00:51:10.900><c> cities,</c><00:51:11.579><c> but</c><00:51:11.659><c> they</c><00:51:11.920><c> might</c>

00:51:12.159 --> 00:51:13.519
be<00:51:12.440><c> men</c><00:51:12.599><c> who</c><00:51:12.780><c> didn't</c><00:51:13.059><c> go</c><00:51:13.199><c> to</c><00:51:13.360><c> work,</c>

00:51:13.579 --> 00:51:16.079
but<00:51:13.719><c> who</c><00:51:13.960><c> poured</c><00:51:14.119><c> over</c><00:51:14.380><c> that</c><00:51:14.659><c> book</c><00:51:14.900><c> so</c><00:51:15.320><c> that</c><00:51:15.460><c> when</c><00:51:15.659><c> the</c><00:51:15.940><c> men</c>

00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:16.340
came<00:51:16.239><c> and</c><00:51:16.340><c> said,</c>

00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:17.079
what<00:51:16.519><c> does</c><00:51:16.719><c> this</c><00:51:16.980><c> mean?</c>

00:51:17.139 --> 00:51:18.380
It<00:51:17.159><c> means</c><00:51:17.500><c> that.</c>

00:51:18.679 --> 00:51:20.619
Thank<00:51:19.000><c> you,</c><00:51:19.199><c> brother,</c><00:51:19.480><c> very,</c><00:51:19.780><c> very</c><00:51:19.960><c> much</c><00:51:20.179><c> indeed.</c>

00:51:20.900 --> 00:51:21.480
What<00:51:21.099><c> does</c><00:51:21.219><c> this</c><00:51:21.400><c> mean?</c>

00:51:21.500 --> 00:51:22.519
It<00:51:21.599><c> means</c><00:51:21.760><c> exactly</c><00:51:22.179><c> that.</c>

00:51:22.980 --> 00:51:23.739
Oh,<00:51:23.179><c> that's</c><00:51:23.519><c> interesting.</c>

00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:24.960
Thank<00:51:24.199><c> you</c><00:51:24.360><c> very</c><00:51:24.579><c> much.</c>

00:51:25.460 --> 00:51:27.179
And<00:51:25.699><c> they</c><00:51:25.860><c> should</c><00:51:26.019><c> have</c><00:51:26.119><c> been</c><00:51:26.340><c> equipped</c><00:51:26.679><c> for</c><00:51:26.920><c> that.</c>

00:51:27.179 --> 00:51:29.360
That<00:51:27.559><c> was</c><00:51:27.960><c> God's</c><00:51:28.599><c> method.</c>

00:51:29.539 --> 00:51:31.639
But<00:51:29.699><c> Jeroboam</c><00:51:30.139><c> says,</c><00:51:30.780><c> well,</c><00:51:31.019><c> I'm</c><00:51:31.139><c> a</c><00:51:31.340><c> communist.</c>

00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:32.880
We'll<00:51:32.199><c> give</c><00:51:32.239><c> them</c><00:51:32.400><c> all</c><00:51:32.579><c> a</c><00:51:32.679><c> go.</c>

00:51:33.300 --> 00:51:35.260
We'll<00:51:33.539><c> give</c><00:51:33.659><c> the</c><00:51:33.900><c> common</c><00:51:34.079><c> people</c><00:51:34.380><c> that.</c>

00:51:35.460 --> 00:51:37.199
Joe,<00:51:36.019><c> boy,</c><00:51:36.119><c> that's</c><00:51:36.380><c> not</c><00:51:36.500><c> a</c><00:51:36.699><c> talk</c><00:51:36.860><c> for</c><00:51:37.059><c> the</c><00:51:37.139><c> world.</c>

00:51:37.260 --> 00:51:38.039
Can<00:51:37.380><c> you</c><00:51:37.539><c> speak</c><00:51:37.800><c> now?</c>

00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:39.099
But<00:51:38.179><c> you</c><00:51:38.420><c> deserve</c><00:51:38.719><c> a</c><00:51:38.940><c> go.</c>

00:51:39.139 --> 00:51:42.940
So<00:51:39.280><c> he</c><00:51:39.320><c> got</c><00:51:39.480><c> up</c><00:51:39.579><c> and</c><00:51:39.699><c> he</c><00:51:39.860><c> said,</c><00:51:40.900><c> well,</c><00:51:41.980><c> we</c><00:51:42.099><c> don't</c><00:51:42.199><c> really</c><00:51:42.579><c> study</c>

00:51:42.940 --> 00:51:44.099
this<00:51:43.280><c> chapter.</c>

00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:47.420
Brother<00:51:45.900><c> Sanjo</c><00:51:46.360><c> said</c><00:51:46.599><c> it</c><00:51:46.820><c> means</c><00:51:47.059><c> that.</c>

00:51:47.699 --> 00:51:49.980
But,<00:51:48.019><c> well,</c><00:51:48.380><c> it</c><00:51:48.679><c> could</c><00:51:48.840><c> mean</c><00:51:49.079><c> this.</c>

00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:52.500
And<00:51:50.699><c> his</c><00:51:50.880><c> opinion</c><00:51:51.260><c> says</c><00:51:51.619><c> that.</c>

00:51:53.139 --> 00:51:54.840
You<00:51:53.559><c> take</c><00:51:53.880><c> your</c><00:51:54.059><c> pick.</c>

00:51:56.019 --> 00:51:59.840
And<00:51:56.579><c> the</c><00:51:56.960><c> class</c><00:51:57.219><c> goes</c><00:51:57.579><c> whoosh,</c><00:51:58.980><c> whoosh.</c>

00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:02.519
There<00:52:00.719><c> was</c><00:52:00.880><c> a</c><00:52:01.039><c> half</c><00:52:01.139><c> a</c><00:52:01.280><c> dozen</c><00:52:01.420><c> people</c><00:52:01.679><c> probably</c><00:52:01.980><c> left</c><00:52:02.239><c> in</c><00:52:02.400><c> the</c>

00:52:02.519 --> 00:52:04.079
early<00:52:02.719><c> in</c><00:52:02.940><c> skeletons,</c>

00:52:04.739 --> 00:52:06.380

00:52:06.559 --> 00:52:08.119
That's<00:52:06.699><c> what</c><00:52:06.960><c> Jeroboam</c><00:52:07.239><c> did.</c>

00:52:08.199 --> 00:52:09.320
And<00:52:08.340><c> damn,</c><00:52:08.719><c> they</c><00:52:08.840><c> contributed.</c>

00:52:09.619 --> 00:52:10.579
Scores<00:52:10.039><c> of</c><00:52:10.300><c> them.</c>

00:52:10.840 --> 00:52:11.780
Scores<00:52:11.300><c> of</c><00:52:11.539><c> them.</c>

00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:13.940
800<00:52:12.559><c>,000</c><00:52:13.119><c> Jeroboam</c><00:52:13.619><c> had.</c>

50<00:52:14.579><c> years</c><00:52:14.860><c> later,</c><00:52:15.800><c> I</c><00:52:15.980><c> had</c><00:52:16.139><c> to</c><00:52:16.260><c> send</c><00:52:16.420><c> out</c><00:52:16.579><c> in</c><00:52:16.679><c> the</c><00:52:16.780><c> field</c><00:52:16.900><c> 10</c><00:52:17.219><c>,000</c>

00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:28.199
But<00:52:25.880><c> a</c><00:52:26.119><c> lot</c><00:52:26.219><c> of</c><00:52:26.340><c> those</c><00:52:26.519><c> just</c><00:52:26.780><c> said</c><00:52:26.900><c> we've</c><00:52:27.099><c> had</c><00:52:27.179><c> enough.</c>

00:52:28.679 --> 00:52:30.219

00:52:30.219 --> 00:52:31.420
over<00:52:30.360><c> the</c><00:52:30.579><c> world.</c>

00:52:32.260 --> 00:52:34.099

00:52:34.139 --> 00:52:36.719
Nobody's<00:52:34.579><c> asking</c><00:52:35.000><c> that</c><00:52:35.280><c> we</c><00:52:35.420><c> should</c><00:52:35.619><c> open</c><00:52:35.780><c> our</c><00:52:36.000><c> platform,</c><00:52:36.559><c> one</c>

00:52:39.400 --> 00:52:42.619
But<00:52:39.599><c> that's</c><00:52:39.940><c> what</c><00:52:40.119><c> happens</c><00:52:40.360><c> when</c><00:52:40.639><c> Jeroboam's</c><00:52:41.239><c> policy</c><00:52:41.519><c> is</c><00:52:41.760><c> implemented.</c>

00:52:42.900 --> 00:52:45.019
And<00:52:43.059><c> if</c><00:52:43.139><c> we</c><00:52:43.340><c> got</c><00:52:43.579><c> that</c><00:52:44.019><c> sort</c><00:52:44.179><c> of</c><00:52:44.340><c> thing,</c><00:52:44.559><c> we're</c><00:52:44.739><c> going</c><00:52:44.800><c> to</c><00:52:44.900><c> have</c>

01:01:21.610 --> 01:01:25.150
who<01:01:21.849><c> maintained</c><01:01:22.349><c> certain</c><01:01:22.750><c> standards</c><01:01:23.190><c> of</c><01:01:23.489><c> truth</c><01:01:23.929><c> and</c><01:01:24.530><c> of</c><01:01:24.650><c> knowledge</c><01:01:24.869><c> in</c>

01:01:25.150 --> 01:01:26.170
their<01:01:25.250><c> kingdom.</c>

01:01:26.949 --> 01:01:32.809
So<01:01:27.250><c> then,</c><01:01:27.869><c> having</c><01:01:28.070><c> said</c><01:01:28.349><c> that,</c><01:01:29.969><c> the</c><01:01:30.210><c> prophets</c><01:01:30.750><c> were</c><01:01:31.389><c> like</c><01:01:31.650><c> that.</c>

01:01:34.989 --> 01:01:40.590
These<01:01:35.429><c> are</c><01:01:35.650><c> the</c><01:01:35.769><c> prophets</c><01:01:36.050><c> that</c><01:01:36.329><c> prophesied</c><01:01:36.849><c> of</c><01:01:36.989><c> Israel,</c><01:01:38.730><c> Hosea</c><01:01:39.170><c> and</c><01:01:39.449><c> Amos.</c>

01:01:40.809 --> 01:01:44.969
Now,<01:01:40.969><c> up</c><01:01:41.230><c> here</c><01:01:41.530><c> on</c><01:01:41.769><c> our</c><01:01:42.010><c> chart,</c><01:01:43.269><c> you'll</c><01:01:43.429><c> see</c><01:01:43.590><c> that</c><01:01:43.789><c> our</c><01:01:44.329><c> brethren</c><01:01:44.650><c> have</c>

01:01:44.969 --> 01:01:47.670
put<01:01:45.710><c> Jonah</c><01:01:46.210><c> in</c><01:01:46.449><c> that</c><01:01:46.610><c> category,</c>

01:01:47.809 --> 01:01:51.309

01:01:52.389 --> 01:01:55.469
They<01:01:52.730><c> put</c><01:01:53.289><c> the</c><01:01:53.570><c> yellow</c><01:01:53.849><c> band</c><01:01:54.170><c> there</c><01:01:54.429><c> and</c><01:01:54.710><c> linked</c><01:01:54.869><c> them</c><01:01:55.170><c> with</c>

01:01:55.469 --> 01:01:57.610
Hosea<01:01:56.090><c> and</c><01:01:56.289><c> Amos</c><01:01:56.670><c> in</c><01:01:56.849><c> the</c><01:01:57.010><c> Northern</c><01:01:57.250><c> Kingdom,</c>

01:01:57.949 --> 01:02:00.030
because<01:01:58.210><c> they</c><01:01:58.469><c> did</c><01:01:58.730><c> come</c><01:01:59.090><c> to</c><01:01:59.210><c> the</c><01:01:59.349><c> Northern</c><01:01:59.670><c> Kingdom.</c>

01:02:00.030 --> 01:02:03.590
I've<01:02:00.909><c> excluded</c><01:02:01.190><c> them</c><01:02:01.369><c> from</c><01:02:01.550><c> this</c><01:02:01.710><c> little</c><01:02:01.969><c> conspiracy</c><01:02:02.409><c> because</c><01:02:02.949><c> they</c>

01:02:03.590 --> 01:02:05.929
didn't<01:02:03.789><c> actually</c><01:02:04.190><c> prophesy</c><01:02:04.889><c> to</c><01:02:05.369><c> Israel,</c>

01:02:06.309 --> 01:02:09.909
though<01:02:06.429><c> they</c><01:02:06.690><c> came</c><01:02:06.929><c> out</c><01:02:07.269><c> of</c><01:02:07.389><c> Israel.</c><01:02:07.909><c> That's</c><01:02:08.090><c> why</c><01:02:08.210><c> they're</c><01:02:08.429><c> not</c><01:02:08.510><c> on</c><01:02:08.730><c> here.</c>

01:02:10.550 --> 01:02:14.750
Hosea<01:02:10.849><c> and</c><01:02:11.030><c> Amos</c><01:02:11.650><c> were</c><01:02:12.309><c> the</c><01:02:12.369><c> only</c><01:02:12.690><c> two</c><01:02:12.849><c> of</c><01:02:12.949><c> the</c><01:02:13.090><c> minor</c><01:02:13.289><c> prophets</c><01:02:14.210><c> whose</c>

01:02:14.750 --> 01:02:17.289

01:02:17.929 --> 01:02:22.929
So,<01:02:18.050><c> Judah,</c><01:02:19.090><c> Isaiah,</c><01:02:19.889><c> Jeremiah,</c><01:02:20.489><c> Joel,</c><01:02:20.969><c> Micah,</c><01:02:21.369><c> Habakkuk,</c><01:02:21.889><c> Zephaniah.</c>

01:02:23.449 --> 01:02:26.409
That<01:02:23.710><c> makes</c><01:02:23.909><c> two,</c><01:02:24.269><c> four,</c><01:02:24.590><c> six,</c><01:02:24.769><c> eight.</c><01:02:25.809><c> So,</c><01:02:25.949><c> we</c><01:02:26.030><c> go</c><01:02:26.150><c> back</c><01:02:26.269><c> to</c>

01:02:26.409 --> 01:02:27.309
the<01:02:26.510><c> team.</c>

01:02:29.050 --> 01:02:31.769
Grave<01:02:29.650><c> will</c><01:02:29.849><c> produce</c><01:02:30.369><c> all</c><01:02:30.590><c> these.</c><01:02:30.730><c> I</c><01:02:30.969><c> love</c><01:02:31.130><c> promising</c><01:02:31.489><c> things</c>

01:02:31.769 --> 01:02:33.489
on<01:02:31.969><c> behalf</c><01:02:32.250><c> of</c><01:02:32.449><c> Grave</c><01:02:32.750><c> Hill.</c>

01:02:33.690 --> 01:02:36.030
He'll<01:02:33.949><c> produce</c><01:02:34.210><c> all</c><01:02:34.409><c> of</c><01:02:34.510><c> these</c><01:02:34.610><c> for</c><01:02:34.789><c> you.</c><01:02:35.010><c> No</c><01:02:35.190><c> worries.</c>

01:02:37.329 --> 01:02:40.369
The<01:02:37.929><c> other</c><01:02:38.230><c> prophets</c><01:02:38.570><c> were</c><01:02:38.869><c> like</c><01:02:39.110><c> this.</c>

01:02:42.269 --> 01:02:45.650
Now,<01:02:42.489><c> here,</c><01:02:42.829><c> we've</c><01:02:43.170><c> got</c><01:02:43.329><c> Jonah</c><01:02:43.730><c> and</c><01:02:44.409><c> Naaman.</c>

01:02:45.909 --> 01:02:50.489
Jonah<01:02:46.269><c> prophesied</c><01:02:46.889><c> to</c><01:02:47.250><c> Nineveh,</c><01:02:49.070><c> and</c><01:02:49.170><c> Naaman</c><01:02:49.849><c> prophesied</c>

01:02:50.489 --> 01:02:52.090
against<01:02:51.030><c> Nineveh.</c>

01:02:52.449 --> 01:02:55.690
So,<01:02:53.010><c> they</c><01:02:53.130><c> were</c><01:02:53.289><c> two</c><01:02:53.610><c> prophets</c><01:02:53.889><c> out</c><01:02:54.250><c> of</c><01:02:54.349><c> Israel,</c><01:02:54.690><c> but</c><01:02:54.789><c> they</c><01:02:54.909><c> were</c><01:02:55.150><c> sent</c><01:02:55.429><c> to</c>

01:02:55.690 --> 01:02:57.210
a<01:02:55.829><c> foreign</c><01:02:56.030><c> power.</c>

01:02:58.210 --> 01:03:00.550
Now,<01:02:58.389><c> one</c><01:02:58.550><c> of</c><01:02:58.710><c> them,</c><01:02:58.909><c> that</c><01:02:59.150><c> makes</c><01:02:59.389><c> ten.</c>

01:03:01.250 --> 01:03:04.710
The<01:03:01.489><c> other</c><01:03:01.730><c> two,</c><01:03:02.190><c> which</c><01:03:02.349><c> make</c><01:03:02.489><c> twelve,</c><01:03:03.010><c> was</c><01:03:03.230><c> Ezekiel</c><01:03:03.769><c> and</c><01:03:03.889><c> Daniel,</c><01:03:04.349><c> who</c>

01:03:04.710 --> 01:03:09.090
prophesied<01:03:05.750><c> when</c><01:03:06.289><c> Judah</c><01:03:06.769><c> was</c><01:03:07.250><c> in</c><01:03:07.489><c> captivity</c><01:03:07.969><c> in</c><01:03:08.329><c> Babylon.</c>

01:03:10.170 --> 01:03:12.989
So,<01:03:10.329><c> that's</c><01:03:10.650><c> where</c><01:03:10.929><c> Ezekiel</c><01:03:11.369><c> and</c><01:03:11.429><c> Daniel</c><01:03:11.789><c> fit</c><01:03:12.050><c> in.</c><01:03:12.130><c> You'll</c><01:03:12.429><c> see</c><01:03:12.550><c> them,</c><01:03:12.769><c> of</c>

01:03:12.989 --> 01:03:14.150
course,<01:03:13.349><c> down</c><01:03:13.650><c> here</c><01:03:13.849><c> somewhere.</c>

01:03:14.190 --> 01:03:18.869
Here<01:03:14.309><c> they</c><01:03:14.510><c> are,</c><01:03:15.070><c> Ezekiel</c><01:03:15.590><c> and</c><01:03:15.710><c> Daniel.</c><01:03:16.070><c> They're</c><01:03:16.389><c> prophesying</c><01:03:17.010><c> at</c><01:03:17.369><c> the</c><01:03:17.570><c> time</c><01:03:17.769><c> when</c><01:03:18.030><c> Judah</c><01:03:18.309><c> is</c>

01:03:18.869 --> 01:03:20.090
in<01:03:19.050><c> captivity.</c>

01:03:22.469 --> 01:03:24.809
Eladurah<01:03:22.909><c> was</c><01:03:23.349><c> a</c><01:03:23.489><c> gangtena.</c>

01:03:25.690 --> 01:03:29.489
So,<01:03:25.829><c> he's</c><01:03:26.170><c> a</c><01:03:26.250><c> prophet</c><01:03:26.369><c> from</c><01:03:26.690><c> Judah,</c><01:03:27.250><c> but</c><01:03:27.409><c> he</c><01:03:27.650><c> prophesied</c><01:03:28.530><c> against</c><01:03:28.889><c> the</c><01:03:29.050><c> gangtena.</c>

01:03:29.570 --> 01:03:32.670
So,<01:03:29.750><c> his</c><01:03:29.889><c> words</c><01:03:30.110><c> were</c><01:03:30.289><c> not</c><01:03:30.489><c> directed</c><01:03:30.989><c> towards</c><01:03:31.429><c> Israel</c><01:03:31.889><c> or</c><01:03:32.090><c> Judah,</c><01:03:32.510><c> but</c>

01:03:32.670 --> 01:03:35.829
like<01:03:32.909><c> Naaman</c><01:03:33.369><c> and</c><01:03:33.670><c> Jonah,</c><01:03:34.130><c> to</c><01:03:34.289><c> a</c><01:03:34.409><c> foreign</c><01:03:34.670><c> power.</c>

01:03:36.849 --> 01:03:39.250
And<01:03:37.070><c> out</c><01:03:37.170><c> on</c><01:03:37.369><c> the</c><01:03:37.469><c> sea</c><01:03:37.630><c> here,</c><01:03:38.170><c> which</c><01:03:38.349><c> they</c><01:03:38.570><c> don't</c><01:03:38.670><c> really</c><01:03:38.889><c> belong</c><01:03:39.090><c> to</c>

01:03:39.250 --> 01:03:39.869
the<01:03:39.429><c> sea,</c>

01:03:40.150 --> 01:03:44.329
the<01:03:40.289><c> three</c><01:03:40.510><c> prophets,</c><01:03:41.610><c> these</c><01:03:41.829><c> three</c><01:03:42.070><c> prophets</c><01:03:42.349><c> here,</c><01:03:42.650><c> Haggai,</c><01:03:43.010><c> Zechariah,</c><01:03:43.650><c> and</c><01:03:43.750><c> Malachi,</c>

01:03:44.329 --> 01:03:47.969
who<01:03:44.849><c> were</c><01:03:45.070><c> prophets</c><01:03:45.570><c> when</c><01:03:46.469><c> the</c><01:03:46.809><c> tribes</c><01:03:47.130><c> had</c><01:03:47.369><c> all</c><01:03:47.570><c> returned</c>

01:03:47.969 --> 01:03:51.449
from<01:03:48.349><c> Babylon,</c><01:03:49.250><c> seventy</c><01:03:49.550><c> years</c><01:03:49.909><c> after</c><01:03:50.130><c> the</c><01:03:50.389><c> captivity.</c>

01:03:52.949 --> 01:03:54.590
Would<01:03:53.030><c> you</c><01:03:53.110><c> like</c><01:03:53.230><c> me</c><01:03:53.329><c> to</c><01:03:53.409><c> put</c><01:03:53.489><c> those</c><01:03:53.750><c> three</c><01:03:53.869><c> again?</c>

01:03:55.210 --> 01:04:00.309
So,<01:03:55.489><c> here</c><01:03:55.690><c> they</c><01:03:55.849><c> are,</c><01:03:56.650><c> here</c><01:03:57.130><c> they</c><01:03:59.329><c> are.</c>

01:11:40.050 --> 01:11:42.449

01:11:43.829 --> 01:11:46.029
We<01:11:43.930><c> don't</c><01:11:44.109><c> want</c><01:11:44.229><c> to</c><01:11:44.350><c> fight</c><01:11:44.470><c> for</c><01:11:44.630><c> this</c><01:11:44.770><c> country.</c><01:11:44.970><c> We</c><01:11:45.050><c> don't</c><01:11:45.250><c> even</c><01:11:45.489><c> know</c><01:11:45.649><c> it.</c>

01:11:55.189 --> 01:11:58.350

01:12:08.270 --> 01:12:10.189
And<01:12:08.289><c> they</c><01:12:08.390><c> led</c><01:12:08.489><c> across</c><01:12:08.789><c> to</c><01:12:08.949><c> the</c><01:12:09.029><c> east,</c><01:12:09.329><c> over</c><01:12:09.470><c> here.</c>

01:12:22.789 --> 01:12:25.529
Before<01:12:23.149><c> that,</c><01:12:23.390><c> the</c><01:12:23.430><c> people</c><01:12:23.550><c> came</c><01:12:23.909><c> back</c><01:12:24.149><c> there,</c><01:12:24.369><c> the</c><01:12:24.630><c> lions</c><01:12:24.890><c> multiplied.</c>

01:12:25.970 --> 01:12:27.729

Because<01:13:24.449><c> she</c><01:13:24.590><c> was</c><01:13:24.729><c> all</c><01:13:24.890><c> mixed</c><01:13:25.149><c> up.</c><01:13:25.630><c> Assyria</c><01:13:25.850><c> had</c><01:13:25.970><c> done</c><01:13:26.210><c> that.</c>

01:13:27.989 --> 01:13:29.949
That's<01:13:28.210><c> what</c><01:13:28.350><c> Assyria</c><01:13:28.710><c> did</c><01:13:28.909><c> for</c><01:13:29.130><c> Israel.</c>

01:13:30.229 --> 01:13:33.609
The<01:13:30.590><c> mentality</c><01:13:30.949><c> of</c><01:13:31.170><c> mixing</c><01:13:31.409><c> them</c><01:13:31.630><c> all</c><01:13:31.810><c> up,</c><01:13:32.050><c> that's</c><01:13:32.250><c> what</c><01:13:32.350><c> Assyria</c><01:13:32.729><c> became</c><01:13:33.050><c> very</c><01:13:33.409><c> poor,</c>

01:13:33.829 --> 01:13:36.609
as<01:13:34.010><c> they</c><01:13:34.210><c> were</c><01:13:34.310><c> the</c><01:13:34.529><c> king</c><01:13:34.649><c> of</c><01:13:34.869><c> Assyria,</c><01:13:35.369><c> causing</c><01:13:35.869><c> the</c><01:13:36.310><c> rod</c><01:13:36.409><c> of</c>

01:13:36.609 --> 01:13:38.069
Yahweh's<01:13:37.050><c> anger.</c>

01:13:38.789 --> 01:13:40.850
Then<01:13:38.949><c> Assyria</c><01:13:39.270><c> arrived</c><01:13:39.529><c> at</c><01:13:39.710><c> the</c><01:13:39.750><c> throne</c><01:13:39.850><c> of</c><01:13:39.869><c> God,</c><01:13:40.069><c> Babylon.</c>

01:13:42.010 --> 01:13:44.130
This<01:13:42.189><c> region</c><01:13:42.470><c> here.</c>

01:13:44.329 --> 01:13:47.270
When<01:13:44.449><c> it</c><01:13:44.770><c> comes</c><01:13:45.029><c> to</c><01:13:45.329><c> the</c><01:13:45.470><c> last</c><01:13:45.869><c> king</c><01:13:46.069><c> of</c><01:13:46.189><c> Assyria,</c><01:13:47.149><c> and</c><01:13:47.189><c> then</c>

01:13:47.270 --> 01:13:48.770
the<01:13:47.409><c> God</c><01:13:47.550><c> of</c><01:13:47.689><c> the</c><01:13:47.829><c> empire</c><01:13:48.130><c> takes</c><01:13:48.489><c> over,</c>

01:13:48.989 --> 01:13:51.189
and<01:13:49.010><c> we</c><01:13:49.109><c> come</c><01:13:49.250><c> to</c><01:13:49.390><c> meet</c><01:13:49.489><c> the</c><01:13:49.609><c> king</c><01:13:49.770><c> of</c><01:13:49.869><c> Assyria,</c><01:13:50.829><c> the</c><01:13:50.930><c> one</c><01:13:51.090><c> that</c>

we<01:13:51.229><c> know</c><01:13:51.510><c> so</c><01:13:51.789><c> well,</c>

01:13:51.989 --> 01:13:54.329
and<01:13:52.109><c> we</c><01:13:52.250><c> dress</c><01:13:52.390><c> him</c><01:13:52.529><c> up</c><01:13:52.750><c> and</c><01:13:53.170><c> put</c><01:13:53.270><c> him</c><01:13:53.390><c> on</c><01:13:53.510><c> a</c><01:13:53.670><c> transversal</c><01:13:54.149><c> with</c>

01:13:54.329 --> 01:13:55.470
his<01:13:54.529><c> gold</c><01:13:54.710><c> and</c><01:13:54.829><c> black</c><01:13:54.970><c> and</c><01:13:55.170><c> silver,</c>

01:13:55.869 --> 01:13:57.850
and<01:13:56.029><c> meet</c><01:13:56.170><c> the</c><01:13:56.250><c> king</c><01:13:56.510><c> of</c><01:13:56.850><c> Assyria,</c><01:13:57.189><c> the</c><01:13:57.289><c> king</c><01:13:57.529><c> of</c><01:13:57.750><c> Babylon,</c>

01:13:59.630 --> 01:14:01.850
at<01:13:59.649><c> the</c><01:13:59.649><c> year</c><01:13:59.909><c> 1686</c><01:14:00.789><c> onwards.</c>

01:14:02.270 --> 01:14:03.529
And<01:14:02.409><c> what</c><01:14:02.510><c> was</c><01:14:02.710><c> that</c><01:14:02.829><c> we</c><01:14:03.029><c> were</c><01:14:03.109><c> made</c><01:14:03.210><c> to</c><01:14:03.409><c> do?</c>

01:14:03.689 --> 01:14:08.970
A<01:14:03.810><c> powerful,</c><01:14:05.649><c> superstitious</c><01:14:06.189><c> empire</c><01:14:07.229><c> whom</c><01:14:07.590><c> Jeremiah</c><01:14:08.149><c> calls</c>

01:14:08.970 --> 01:14:10.470
my<01:14:09.529><c> servant.</c>

01:14:11.529 --> 01:14:13.590
And<01:14:11.649><c> God</c><01:14:11.890><c> saw</c><01:14:12.109><c> him</c><01:14:12.310><c> as</c><01:14:12.890><c> my</c><01:14:13.270><c> servant.</c>

01:14:13.970 --> 01:14:17.310
So<01:14:14.329><c> Assyria</c><01:14:14.449><c> was</c><01:14:14.770><c> the</c><01:14:14.949><c> right</c><01:14:15.149><c> finger,</c><01:14:16.390><c> and</c><01:14:16.689><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c>

01:14:17.310 --> 01:14:18.909
was<01:14:17.609><c> my</c><01:14:17.989><c> servant.</c>

01:14:19.670 --> 01:14:21.029
Not<01:14:19.909><c> the</c><01:14:20.130><c> servant,</c><01:14:20.609><c> though,</c><01:14:20.829><c> you</c><01:14:20.850><c> see,</c>

01:14:21.109 --> 01:14:23.909
in<01:14:21.250><c> the</c><01:14:21.529><c> sense</c><01:14:21.710><c> that</c><01:14:21.909><c> he</c><01:14:22.130><c> served</c><01:14:22.350><c> God</c><01:14:22.670><c> in</c><01:14:22.989><c> truth</c><01:14:23.130><c> and</c><01:14:23.369><c> righteousness,</c><01:14:23.710><c> because</c>

01:14:23.909 --> 01:14:25.029
he<01:14:24.029><c> didn't.</c>

01:14:25.029 --> 01:14:28.189
He<01:14:25.369><c> was</c><01:14:25.569><c> a</c><01:14:25.789><c> heathen</c><01:14:26.270><c> idolater.</c>

01:14:28.289 --> 01:14:32.050
But<01:14:28.369><c> he</c><01:14:28.710><c> served</c><01:14:28.909><c> God</c><01:14:29.310><c> unwittingly</c><01:14:30.569><c> by</c><01:14:31.250><c> the</c><01:14:31.449><c> blind</c><01:14:31.710><c> providence</c>

01:14:32.050 --> 01:14:33.390
and<01:14:32.250><c> the</c><01:14:32.510><c> signs</c><01:14:32.649><c> of</c><01:14:32.810><c> the</c><01:14:33.010><c> times,</c>

01:14:33.789 --> 01:14:38.010
and<01:14:33.909><c> God</c><01:14:34.210><c> gave</c><01:14:34.489><c> him</c><01:14:34.770><c> the</c><01:14:35.050><c> world,</c><01:14:36.369><c> and</c><01:14:36.489><c> he</c><01:14:36.829><c> conquered</c><01:14:37.029><c> the</c><01:14:37.329><c> great</c><01:14:37.529><c> nations</c><01:14:37.829><c> that</c>

01:14:38.010 --> 01:14:38.770
were<01:14:38.170><c> around</c><01:14:38.350><c> about</c><01:14:38.609><c> him,</c>

01:14:38.869 --> 01:14:41.930
and<01:14:38.909><c> he</c><01:14:39.170><c> ruled</c><01:14:39.289><c> the</c><01:14:39.550><c> world,</c><01:14:39.970><c> and</c><01:14:40.109><c> he</c><01:14:40.350><c> ruled</c><01:14:40.569><c> Judah,</c><01:14:41.090><c> too.</c>

01:14:42.630 --> 01:14:44.689
And<01:14:42.750><c> there</c><01:14:42.850><c> was</c><01:14:42.970><c> God's</c><01:14:43.470><c> message</c><01:14:43.649><c> to</c><01:14:43.930><c> Judah</c><01:14:44.069><c> as</c><01:14:44.210><c> the</c><01:14:44.329><c> subject</c>

01:14:44.689 --> 01:14:45.729
to<01:14:44.890><c> him.</c>

01:14:45.930 --> 01:14:49.170
Now<01:14:46.130><c> what</c><01:14:46.390><c> could</c><01:14:46.670><c> a</c><01:14:46.770><c> nation</c><01:14:46.989><c> like</c><01:14:47.229><c> Israel</c><01:14:47.630><c> do</c><01:14:47.810><c> for</c><01:14:47.989><c> Israel</c><01:14:48.550><c> who</c>

01:14:49.170 --> 01:14:51.210
was<01:14:49.430><c> superstitious?</c>

01:14:51.210 --> 01:14:56.289
Babylon's<01:14:52.369><c> brothers</c><01:14:52.609><c> and</c><01:14:52.670><c> sisters</c><01:14:53.289><c> did</c><01:14:53.770><c> for</c><01:14:54.050><c> Israel</c><01:14:54.430><c> what</c><01:14:55.109><c> nothing</c><01:14:55.569><c> else</c><01:14:55.949><c> could</c><01:14:56.149><c> do</c>

01:14:56.289 --> 01:14:58.029
for<01:14:56.470><c> Israel.</c>

01:14:59.550 --> 01:15:04.850
God<01:14:59.729><c> tried</c><01:15:00.050><c> everything,</c><01:15:02.229><c> and</c><01:15:02.489><c> Babylon</c><01:15:02.850><c> accomplished</c><01:15:03.590><c> a</c><01:15:03.970><c> miracle.</c>

01:15:06.029 --> 01:15:10.109
Do<01:15:06.210><c> you</c><01:15:06.289><c> know,</c><01:15:06.449><c> it</c><01:15:06.609><c> is</c><01:15:06.829><c> a</c><01:15:06.909><c> historical</c><01:15:07.710><c> fact,</c><01:15:09.250><c> a</c><01:15:09.590><c> fact</c><01:15:09.829><c> of</c>

profound<01:15:10.510><c> history,</c>

01:15:11.710 --> 01:15:16.390
that<01:15:11.909><c> Israel</c><01:15:12.210><c> had</c><01:15:12.489><c> never</c><01:15:13.010><c> been</c><01:15:13.449><c> idolatrous</c><01:15:14.210><c> since</c><01:15:14.649><c> the</c><01:15:14.850><c> captivity</c><01:15:15.270><c> in</c><01:15:15.550><c> Babylon.</c>

01:15:17.569 --> 01:15:20.130
God<01:15:17.890><c> sent</c><01:15:18.109><c> them</c><01:15:18.409><c> prophet</c><01:15:18.670><c> after</c><01:15:19.109><c> prophet.</c>

01:15:20.729 --> 01:15:23.970
He<01:15:21.210><c> pleaded</c><01:15:21.689><c> with</c><01:15:21.930><c> them.</c><01:15:22.649><c> He</c><01:15:23.029><c> gave</c><01:15:23.289><c> them</c><01:15:23.550><c> the</c><01:15:23.710><c> law.</c>

01:15:24.350 --> 01:15:27.369
He<01:15:24.489><c> did</c><01:15:24.869><c> everything</c><01:15:25.329><c> possible,</c><01:15:26.470><c> and</c><01:15:26.550><c> they</c><01:15:26.710><c> went</c><01:15:26.829><c> on</c><01:15:27.090><c> being</c>

01:15:28.750 --> 01:15:31.909
and<01:15:28.829><c> he</c><01:15:28.850><c> said,</c><01:15:29.449><c> I've</c><01:15:29.590><c> had</c><01:15:29.750><c> enough.</c><01:15:30.210><c> Go</c><01:15:30.569><c> to</c><01:15:30.829><c> that</c><01:15:31.029><c> place.</c>

01:15:32.310 --> 01:15:34.229
And<01:15:32.510><c> they</c><01:15:32.710><c> came</c><01:15:32.970><c> out</c><01:15:33.189><c> of</c><01:15:33.329><c> Babylon,</c><01:15:33.729><c> brethren</c><01:15:33.810><c> and</c><01:15:34.069><c> sisters,</c>

01:20:17.250 --> 01:20:21.250
But<01:20:17.409><c> those</c><01:20:17.630><c> gods,</c><01:20:19.569><c> how</c><01:20:19.729><c> did</c><01:20:19.869><c> they</c><01:20:19.949><c> affect</c><01:20:20.149><c> Israel?</c>

01:20:21.350 --> 01:20:24.810

So<01:20:25.489><c> unclean,</c><01:20:26.050><c> they</c><01:20:26.229><c> were</c><01:20:26.369><c> called</c><01:20:27.010><c> the</c><01:20:27.390><c> uncircumcised.</c>

01:20:28.649 --> 01:20:31.170
Not<01:20:29.130><c> because</c><01:20:29.470><c> they</c><01:20:29.590><c> were</c><01:20:29.689><c> the</c><01:20:29.829><c> only</c><01:20:29.949><c> ones</c><01:20:30.149><c> uncircumcised.</c>

01:20:36.850 --> 01:20:39.229
So<01:20:37.069><c> the</c><01:20:37.189><c> four</c><01:20:37.350><c> sides</c><01:20:37.529><c> weren't</c><01:20:37.850><c> the</c><01:20:38.109><c> only</c><01:20:38.470><c> uncircumcised.</c>

01:20:39.229 --> 01:20:42.229
But<01:20:39.569><c> because</c><01:20:39.970><c> they</c><01:20:40.170><c> had</c><01:20:40.430><c> such</c><01:20:40.850><c> filthy</c><01:20:41.229><c> habits,</c>

01:20:42.689 --> 01:20:44.710

01:20:59.529 --> 01:21:03.109
But<01:20:59.689><c> he</c><01:20:59.789><c> stood</c><01:20:59.869><c> up</c><01:20:59.989><c> and</c><01:21:00.090><c> said,</c><01:21:00.350><c> the</c><01:21:00.510><c> Philistines</c><01:21:01.010><c> would</c><01:21:01.229><c> be</c><01:21:01.390><c> ashamed</c><01:21:01.649><c> of</c><01:21:01.789><c> you.</c>

01:21:03.310 --> 01:21:04.569

01:24:13.710 --> 01:24:14.489
and<01:24:13.789><c> have</c><01:24:13.989><c> her</c><01:24:14.090><c> all</c><01:24:14.289><c> eaten.</c>

01:24:14.489 --> 01:24:16.850
And<01:24:14.750><c> it</c><01:24:14.989><c> was</c><01:24:15.090><c> written</c><01:24:15.189><c> that</c><01:24:15.390><c> the</c><01:24:15.529><c> kings</c><01:24:15.649><c> were</c><01:24:15.869><c> outside</c><01:24:16.270><c> the</c><01:24:16.569><c> wall,</c>

01:24:17.050 --> 01:24:19.229
and<01:24:17.210><c> he</c><01:24:17.430><c> put</c><01:24:17.689><c> forth</c><01:24:18.010><c> his</c><01:24:18.289><c> reform.</c>

01:24:19.510 --> 01:24:20.770
So<01:24:19.670><c> it</c><01:24:19.850><c> was</c><01:24:20.010><c> interesting</c><01:24:20.409><c> that</c>

01:24:20.770 --> 01:24:23.310
the<01:24:21.369><c> contemporaries</c><01:24:21.810><c> were</c><01:24:22.050><c> so</c><01:24:22.310><c> different,</c>

01:24:23.409 --> 01:24:25.270
their<01:24:23.529><c> message</c><01:24:23.810><c> was</c><01:24:24.109><c> cast</c><01:24:24.310><c> in</c><01:24:24.489><c> different</c><01:24:24.770><c> terms,</c>

01:24:25.710 --> 01:24:28.010
and<01:24:25.710><c> yet</c><01:24:26.289><c> what</c><01:24:26.550><c> the</c><01:24:26.729><c> king</c><01:24:26.869><c> didn't</c><01:24:27.189><c> hear</c><01:24:27.310><c> in</c><01:24:27.510><c> some</c><01:24:27.729><c> places,</c>

01:24:28.250 --> 01:24:29.470
he<01:24:28.390><c> heard</c><01:24:28.489><c> in</c><01:24:28.689><c> the</c><01:24:28.770><c> case</c><01:24:28.930><c> of</c><01:24:29.189><c> Micah,</c>

01:24:29.710 --> 01:24:31.510
and<01:24:29.829><c> it</c><01:24:29.949><c> was</c><01:24:30.069><c> the</c><01:24:30.229><c> cause</c><01:24:30.390><c> of</c><01:24:30.590><c> tremendous</c><01:24:31.069><c> reform</c>

01:24:31.510 --> 01:24:32.789
in<01:24:31.670><c> that</c><01:24:31.829><c> nation.</c>

01:24:32.949 --> 01:24:34.250
He<01:24:33.069><c> called</c><01:24:33.270><c> Jonah,</c>

01:24:34.489 --> 01:24:36.029
well<01:24:34.630><c> I'm</c><01:24:34.850><c> here</c><01:24:34.970><c> because</c><01:24:35.189><c> he's</c><01:24:35.390><c> in</c><01:24:35.510><c> another</c><01:24:35.710><c> country,</c>

01:24:36.029 --> 01:24:37.590
in<01:24:36.270><c> transparency,</c><01:24:36.989><c> but</c><01:24:37.130><c> he's</c><01:24:37.250><c> up</c><01:24:37.409><c> here,</c>

01:24:37.649 --> 01:24:39.489
so<01:24:37.789><c> how</c><01:24:38.029><c> is</c><01:24:38.390><c> Jonah?</c>

01:24:40.189 --> 01:24:40.949
Certainly<01:24:40.630><c> well.</c>

01:24:40.949 --> 01:24:42.609
Yes,<01:24:41.869><c> certainly</c><01:24:42.029><c> he</c><01:24:42.350><c> is.</c>

01:24:42.670 --> 01:24:45.409
He<01:24:43.149><c> started</c><01:24:43.329><c> down</c><01:24:43.590><c> here</c><01:24:43.750><c> in</c><01:24:43.930><c> the</c><01:24:43.930><c> days</c><01:24:44.090><c> of</c><01:24:44.329><c> Jeremiah</c><01:24:44.590><c> the</c><01:24:44.949><c> second.</c>

01:24:45.630 --> 01:24:47.869
Now,<01:24:46.130><c> he's</c><01:24:46.510><c> absolutely</c><01:24:46.869><c> unique.</c>

01:24:49.189 --> 01:24:51.130
There's<01:24:49.390><c> no</c><01:24:49.630><c> prophecy</c><01:24:49.909><c> about</c><01:24:50.149><c> Jonah.</c>

01:24:51.789 --> 01:24:53.130
Out<01:24:51.930><c> of</c><01:24:52.090><c> the</c><01:24:52.250><c> sixteen</c><01:24:52.710><c> chapters,</c>

01:24:53.470 --> 01:24:54.470
there's<01:24:53.689><c> nothing</c><01:24:53.989><c> like</c><01:24:54.289><c> him,</c>

01:24:54.470 --> 01:24:56.510
because<01:24:54.729><c> it's</c><01:24:54.989><c> a</c><01:24:55.130><c> story</c><01:24:55.270><c> about</c><01:24:55.470><c> a</c><01:24:55.609><c> man</c><01:24:55.770><c> doing.</c>

01:24:57.029 --> 01:24:58.789
It's<01:24:57.270><c> not</c><01:24:57.390><c> a</c><01:24:57.569><c> prophecy</c><01:24:57.770><c> at</c><01:24:58.029><c> all.</c>

01:24:59.789 --> 01:25:00.970
You<01:24:59.850><c> don't</c><01:25:00.090><c> read</c><01:25:00.210><c> how</c><01:25:00.470><c> he</c><01:25:00.729><c> exists.</c>

01:25:01.149 --> 01:25:02.390
They<01:25:01.310><c> won't</c><01:25:01.510><c> read</c><01:25:01.529><c> what</c><01:25:01.630><c> he</c><01:25:02.029><c> actually</c><01:25:02.029><c> said.</c>

01:25:02.729 --> 01:25:05.250
It<01:25:02.909><c> wasn't</c><01:25:03.050><c> a</c><01:25:03.369><c> prophecy</c><01:25:03.609><c> in</c><01:25:03.890><c> the</c><01:25:03.909><c> sense</c><01:25:04.050><c> that</c><01:25:04.529><c> he</c><01:25:04.670><c> has</c><01:25:04.789><c> his</c><01:25:05.069><c> message.</c>

01:25:05.310 --> 01:25:06.369
You<01:25:05.470><c> don't</c><01:25:05.630><c> read</c><01:25:05.810><c> about</c><01:25:05.989><c> his</c><01:25:06.210><c> message.</c>

01:25:06.670 --> 01:25:08.109
You<01:25:06.829><c> read</c><01:25:06.970><c> about</c><01:25:07.189><c> what</c><01:25:07.430><c> happened</c><01:25:07.590><c> to</c><01:25:07.810><c> him.</c>

01:25:08.109 --> 01:25:09.090
He's<01:25:08.109><c> unique.</c>

01:25:09.229 --> 01:25:12.050
So<01:25:09.609><c> Jonah,</c><01:25:10.189><c> let's</c><01:25:10.550><c> say,</c><01:25:10.729><c> is</c><01:25:10.909><c> unique</c><01:25:11.250><c> in</c><01:25:11.449><c> the</c><01:25:11.750><c> prophets.</c>

01:25:12.489 --> 01:25:14.510
So<01:25:12.569><c> you've</c><01:25:12.869><c> found</c><01:25:12.909><c> something</c><01:25:13.149><c> else</c><01:25:13.350><c> about</c><01:25:13.569><c> him.</c>

01:25:14.789 --> 01:25:16.289
And<01:25:14.949><c> we're</c><01:25:15.090><c> going</c><01:25:15.109><c> to</c><01:25:15.210><c> learn</c><01:25:15.289><c> about</c><01:25:15.489><c> Hosea.</c>

01:25:16.710 --> 01:25:18.510
And<01:25:16.890><c> what</c><01:25:17.310><c> tragic</c>

01:25:18.510 --> 01:25:20.130
marriage<01:25:18.909><c> circumstances.</c>

01:25:20.489 --> 01:25:23.109
But<01:25:20.649><c> he</c><01:25:20.829><c> wasn't</c><01:25:21.250><c> allowed</c><01:25:21.609><c> to</c><01:25:21.850><c> get</c><01:25:21.949><c> a</c><01:25:22.130><c> divorce.</c>

01:25:24.750 --> 01:25:26.029
And<01:25:25.130><c> he</c><01:25:25.369><c> had</c><01:25:25.609><c> a</c><01:25:25.810><c> wife,</c>

01:25:26.189 --> 01:25:27.989
brothers<01:25:26.369><c> and</c><01:25:26.590><c> sisters,</c><01:25:27.409><c> if</c><01:25:27.590><c> ever</c>

01:25:27.989 --> 01:25:30.010
there<01:25:28.170><c> was</c><01:25:28.329><c> a</c><01:25:28.510><c> man</c><01:25:28.689><c> who</c><01:25:28.869><c> was</c><01:25:28.949><c> just</c><01:25:29.109><c> about</c><01:25:29.369><c> to</c><01:25:29.489><c> get</c><01:25:29.569><c> a</c><01:25:29.689><c> divorce,</c>

01:25:30.210 --> 01:25:33.189
he<01:25:30.329><c> wasn't</c><01:25:30.890><c> allowed</c><01:25:31.750><c> to</c><01:25:31.989><c> do</c><01:25:32.250><c> that.</c>

01:25:33.630 --> 01:25:35.829
And<01:25:33.989><c> he</c><01:25:34.250><c> lived</c><01:25:34.470><c> it</c><01:25:34.970><c> out</c><01:25:35.189><c> there</c>

01:25:35.829 --> 01:25:37.829
to<01:25:36.170><c> teach</c><01:25:36.409><c> Israel</c><01:25:36.750><c> that</c><01:25:36.989><c> lesson.</c>

01:25:37.909 --> 01:25:40.010
And<01:25:38.050><c> so</c><01:25:38.149><c> I</c><01:25:38.229><c> could</c><01:25:38.350><c> go,</c><01:25:38.550><c> oh,</c><01:25:38.829><c> no,</c><01:25:39.050><c> no,</c><01:25:39.250><c> no,</c><01:25:39.350><c> about</c><01:25:39.489><c> these</c><01:25:39.710><c> prophets.</c>

01:25:40.130 --> 01:25:41.789
But<01:25:40.229><c> let's</c><01:25:40.449><c> take</c><01:25:40.710><c> them</c><01:25:40.850><c> one</c><01:25:40.970><c> by</c><01:25:41.250><c> one,</c>

01:25:42.149 --> 01:25:43.050
set<01:25:42.250><c> them</c><01:25:42.510><c> in</c><01:25:42.609><c> their</c><01:25:42.670><c> history,</c>

01:25:43.510 --> 01:25:44.989
see<01:25:43.609><c> what</c><01:25:43.750><c> the</c><01:25:43.970><c> kings</c><01:25:44.149><c> of</c><01:25:44.270><c> Israel</c><01:25:44.590><c> were</c><01:25:44.770><c> doing,</c>

01:25:45.470 --> 01:25:46.750
see<01:25:45.689><c> what</c><01:25:45.909><c> the</c><01:25:46.069><c> nations</c><01:25:46.310><c> were</c><01:25:46.489><c> doing,</c>

01:25:46.970 --> 01:25:48.909
and<01:25:47.170><c> then</c><01:25:47.329><c> take</c><01:25:47.449><c> the</c><01:25:47.710><c> providence</c><01:25:48.130><c> to</c><01:25:48.369><c> their</c><01:25:48.569><c> future</c>

01:25:48.909 --> 01:25:50.869
and<01:25:49.170><c> let</c><01:25:49.390><c> them</c><01:25:49.689><c> find</c><01:25:49.869><c> out</c><01:25:50.069><c> about</c><01:25:50.189><c> Israel,</c>

01:25:51.109 --> 01:25:53.130
his<01:25:51.229><c> indictments</c><01:25:51.729><c> of</c><01:25:51.869><c> his</c><01:25:52.090><c> encouragement</c><01:25:52.430><c> to</c><01:25:52.729><c> Judah</c><01:25:52.869><c> when</c><01:25:53.029><c> it</c>

01:25:53.130 --> 01:25:54.350
was<01:25:53.310><c> necessary.</c>

01:25:54.470 --> 01:25:55.609
And<01:25:54.590><c> if</c><01:25:54.649><c> we</c><01:25:54.729><c> can</c><01:25:54.909><c> put</c><01:25:55.029><c> that</c><01:25:55.289><c> together</c>

01:25:55.609 --> 01:25:56.789
in<01:25:55.989><c> a</c><01:25:56.130><c> general</c><01:25:56.350><c> way,</c>

01:25:57.050 --> 01:25:58.409

01:25:58.670 --> 01:26:00.829
we<01:25:58.789><c> can</c><01:25:58.989><c> sit</c><01:25:59.229><c> down</c><01:25:59.350><c> with</c><01:25:59.489><c> our</c><01:25:59.649><c> children</c><01:25:59.850><c> in</c><01:26:00.069><c> the</c><01:26:00.170><c> daily</c><01:26:00.350><c> meetings</c><01:26:00.630><c> and</c>

01:26:00.829 --> 01:26:02.109
make<01:26:00.989><c> them</c><01:26:01.289><c> leave.</c>

01:26:02.569 --> 01:26:03.529
And<01:26:02.710><c> have</c><01:26:02.850><c> those</c><01:26:03.109><c> kings</c>

01:26:03.529 --> 01:26:05.970
stand<01:26:03.930><c> down</c><01:26:04.109><c> on</c><01:26:04.210><c> that</c><01:26:04.369><c> record</c><01:26:04.590><c> with</c><01:26:04.829><c> their</c><01:26:05.069><c> prophets</c>

01:26:06.369 --> 01:26:07.609
and<01:26:06.850><c> earnest</c><01:26:07.250><c> endeavor</c>

01:26:07.609 --> 01:26:09.409
