last<00:03:15.879><c> two</c><00:03:16.219><c> sessions,</c>

00:03:17.340 --> 00:03:21.919
we've<00:03:17.620><c> looked</c><00:03:17.759><c> at</c><00:03:18.060><c> the</c><00:03:19.099><c> work</c><00:03:19.379><c> of</c><00:03:19.699><c> the</c><00:03:19.979><c> watchmen</c><00:03:20.840><c> in</c><00:03:21.219><c> the</c><00:03:21.379><c> latter</c><00:03:21.560><c> days</c>

00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:23.780
and<00:03:22.300><c> the</c><00:03:22.599><c> shepherds</c><00:03:22.939><c> in</c><00:03:23.099><c> the</c><00:03:23.280><c> latter</c><00:03:23.439><c> days.</c>

00:03:23.780 --> 00:03:27.020
And<00:03:24.080><c> they</c><00:03:24.280><c> have</c><00:03:24.460><c> been</c><00:03:24.699><c> essentially</c><00:03:25.199><c> very</c><00:03:25.900><c> personal</c><00:03:26.379><c> and</c><00:03:26.580><c> very</c>

00:03:29.099 --> 00:03:31.680
We've<00:03:29.340><c> suggested</c><00:03:29.740><c> that</c><00:03:30.180><c> it</c><00:03:30.319><c> is</c><00:03:30.560><c> most</c><00:03:30.780><c> appropriate</c><00:03:31.300><c> that</c><00:03:31.479><c> they</c>

00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.180
This<00:03:46.900><c> morning</c><00:03:47.300><c> I</c><00:03:47.500><c> want</c><00:03:47.780><c> to</c><00:03:47.960><c> cover</c><00:03:48.139><c> the</c><00:03:48.319><c> remaining</c><00:03:48.780><c> chapters</c>

00:03:55.340 --> 00:03:58.800
We<00:03:55.500><c> appreciate</c><00:03:56.039><c> there's</c><00:03:56.360><c> a</c><00:03:56.500><c> lot</c><00:03:56.659><c> of</c><00:03:56.879><c> material</c><00:03:57.259><c> in</c><00:03:57.560><c> those</c><00:03:57.840><c> chapters.</c>

00:03:59.180 --> 00:04:02.039
But<00:03:59.379><c> I</c><00:03:59.539><c> want</c><00:03:59.719><c> to</c><00:03:59.900><c> pick</c><00:04:00.039><c> up</c><00:04:00.219><c> the</c><00:04:00.520><c> particular</c><00:04:00.919><c> theme</c><00:04:01.219><c> which</c><00:04:01.419><c> I</c><00:04:01.639><c> mentioned</c><00:04:01.879><c> in</c>

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.860
the<00:04:04.259><c> principle</c><00:04:04.659><c> of</c><00:04:04.900><c> coming</c><00:04:05.159><c> to</c><00:04:05.439><c> know</c><00:04:05.740><c> God</c><00:04:06.180><c> and</c><00:04:07.039><c> to</c><00:04:07.319><c> understand</c>

00:04:07.860 --> 00:04:11.680
how<00:04:08.219><c> His</c><00:04:08.620><c> righteousness</c><00:04:09.300><c> must</c><00:04:10.419><c> be</c><00:04:10.740><c> declared.</c>

00:04:12.020 --> 00:04:15.919
Now<00:04:12.580><c> in</c><00:04:12.879><c> principle</c><00:04:13.280><c> each</c><00:04:13.580><c> one</c><00:04:13.759><c> of</c><00:04:13.879><c> us</c><00:04:14.020><c> who</c><00:04:14.180><c> have</c><00:04:14.340><c> been</c><00:04:14.580><c> baptised</c><00:04:15.439><c> have</c>

00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.079

00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.180
If<00:04:20.759><c> someone</c><00:04:21.079><c> were</c><00:04:21.300><c> to</c><00:04:21.480><c> say,</c><00:04:21.980><c> why</c><00:04:22.060><c> were</c><00:04:22.240><c> you</c><00:04:22.439><c> baptised?</c>

00:04:23.459 --> 00:04:26.500
As<00:04:23.519><c> we</c><00:04:23.680><c> mentioned</c><00:04:23.920><c> on</c><00:04:24.120><c> one</c><00:04:24.279><c> occasion,</c><00:04:25.120><c> some</c><00:04:25.319><c> might</c><00:04:25.600><c> say,</c><00:04:25.899><c> in</c><00:04:26.040><c> order</c><00:04:26.259><c> that</c><00:04:26.399><c> I</c>

00:04:28.300 --> 00:04:32.579
That<00:04:28.639><c> should</c><00:04:28.939><c> be</c><00:04:29.519><c> the</c><00:04:29.819><c> second</c><00:04:30.100><c> answer,</c><00:04:30.779><c> not</c><00:04:31.100><c> the</c><00:04:31.339><c> first</c><00:04:31.620><c> answer.</c>

00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:37.939
The<00:04:33.120><c> first</c><00:04:33.500><c> answer</c><00:04:34.000><c> should</c><00:04:34.319><c> be</c><00:04:34.920><c> that</c><00:04:35.720><c> I</c><00:04:35.980><c> might</c><00:04:36.360><c> declare</c><00:04:37.160><c> the</c>

symbolically<00:04:44.459><c> dying.</c>

00:04:45.180 --> 00:04:49.759
And<00:04:45.839><c> we</c><00:04:46.060><c> are</c><00:04:46.540><c> declaring</c><00:04:47.160><c> that</c><00:04:47.480><c> God</c><00:04:47.779><c> is</c><00:04:48.220><c> right</c><00:04:48.800><c> in</c><00:04:49.399><c> demanding</c>

00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:55.379
God<00:04:51.779><c> then</c><00:04:52.160><c> raises</c><00:04:52.579><c> us</c><00:04:53.180><c> up</c><00:04:53.459><c> out</c><00:04:53.759><c> of</c><00:04:53.899><c> the</c><00:04:54.040><c> waters</c><00:04:54.220><c> of</c><00:04:54.480><c> baptism.</c>

00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:00.339
He<00:04:56.779><c> imputes,</c><00:04:58.019><c> accounts,</c><00:04:58.899><c> reckons,</c><00:04:59.339><c> whichever</c><00:04:59.579><c> words</c><00:04:59.819><c> you</c><00:04:59.959><c> like</c><00:05:00.139><c> to</c>

00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:18.040
And<00:05:14.279><c> so</c><00:05:14.639><c> we</c><00:05:15.199><c> come</c><00:05:15.439><c> today</c><00:05:15.819><c> to</c><00:05:16.120><c> consider</c><00:05:16.540><c> what</c><00:05:16.759><c> we</c><00:05:17.019><c> might</c><00:05:17.360><c> call</c>

00:05:23.220 --> 00:05:26.860
The<00:05:23.439><c> national</c><00:05:24.199><c> doctrine</c><00:05:24.899><c> of</c><00:05:25.560><c> the</c><00:05:25.800><c> atonement.</c>

00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.939
And<00:05:27.279><c> it</c><00:05:27.480><c> commences</c><00:05:27.839><c> in</c><00:05:28.079><c> Ezekiel</c><00:05:28.519><c> chapter</c><00:05:28.899><c> 35.</c>

00:05:29.939 --> 00:05:39.100
Ezekiel<00:05:31.040><c> chapter</c><00:05:31.399><c> 35,</c><00:05:34.399><c> a</c><00:05:34.480><c> chapter</c><00:05:34.740><c> which</c><00:05:35.000><c> is</c><00:05:35.220><c> directed</c><00:05:35.759><c> against</c><00:05:37.019><c> latter</c><00:05:37.399><c>-day</c><00:05:37.839><c> Edom.</c>

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.899
Now<00:05:39.939><c> I</c><00:05:40.019><c> know</c><00:05:40.439><c> that</c><00:05:40.800><c> there</c><00:05:40.980><c> are</c><00:05:41.160><c> various</c><00:05:41.560><c> views</c><00:05:41.959><c> in</c><00:05:42.160><c> the</c><00:05:42.339><c> Brotherhood</c>

00:05:48.139 --> 00:05:51.660
And<00:05:48.360><c> there's</c><00:05:48.560><c> probably</c><00:05:48.939><c> no</c><00:05:49.300><c> section</c><00:05:49.699><c> of</c><00:05:50.000><c> the</c><00:05:50.620><c> latter</c><00:05:50.839><c>-day</c><00:05:51.040><c> prophecies</c>

00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.079
I'll<00:05:58.639><c> make</c><00:05:58.740><c> it</c><00:05:58.899><c> very</c><00:05:59.139><c> clear</c><00:05:59.339><c> right</c><00:05:59.560><c> from</c><00:05:59.779><c> the</c><00:05:59.899><c> outset</c><00:06:00.220><c> that</c><00:06:00.439><c> I</c>

So<00:13:58.399><c> when</c><00:13:58.779><c> Esau</c><00:13:59.279><c> came</c><00:13:59.600><c> in</c><00:13:59.820><c> from</c><00:13:59.960><c> the</c><00:14:00.159><c> field,</c><00:14:00.960><c> and</c><00:14:01.120><c> I'm</c><00:14:01.240><c> not</c><00:14:01.379><c> being</c><00:14:01.620><c> silly</c><00:14:01.860><c> when</c>

00:14:02.019 --> 00:14:02.639
I<00:14:02.220><c> say</c><00:14:02.360><c> this,</c>

00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:04.200
he<00:14:02.980><c> saw</c><00:14:03.279><c> red.</c>

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:08.379
He<00:14:05.019><c> said,</c><00:14:05.559><c> give</c><00:14:05.659><c> me</c><00:14:06.039><c> that</c><00:14:06.360><c> red,</c><00:14:06.860><c> give</c><00:14:07.220><c> me</c><00:14:07.500><c> that</c><00:14:07.779><c> red</c><00:14:08.080><c> stuff.</c>

00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:13.019
That's<00:14:08.799><c> what</c><00:14:08.960><c> I</c><00:14:09.179><c> want,</c><00:14:09.320><c> I</c><00:14:09.419><c> want</c><00:14:09.620><c> that</c><00:14:09.940><c> red</c><00:14:10.279><c> stuff,</c><00:14:11.399><c> that</c><00:14:11.679><c> red</c><00:14:12.080><c> thing.</c>

00:14:13.779 --> 00:14:17.259
It<00:14:13.940><c> was</c><00:14:14.460><c> some</c><00:14:14.759><c> form</c><00:14:14.879><c> of</c><00:14:15.139><c> pottage,</c><00:14:15.940><c> be</c><00:14:16.000><c> that</c><00:14:16.139><c> as</c><00:14:16.320><c> it</c><00:14:16.480><c> may.</c>

00:14:17.539 --> 00:14:21.240
Therefore,<00:14:18.000><c> we</c><00:14:18.220><c> are</c><00:14:18.419><c> told,</c><00:14:19.019><c> was</c><00:14:19.279><c> his</c><00:14:19.600><c> name</c><00:14:19.940><c> called</c><00:14:20.700><c> Edom?</c>

00:14:21.299 --> 00:14:23.580
Because<00:14:21.799><c> it</c><00:14:22.059><c> means</c><00:14:22.480><c> red.</c>

00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.600
And<00:14:24.899><c> so,</c><00:14:25.340><c> what</c><00:14:25.539><c> do</c><00:14:25.700><c> we</c><00:14:25.840><c> find?</c>

00:14:26.740 --> 00:14:30.019
We<00:14:26.960><c> find</c><00:14:27.220><c> that</c><00:14:27.399><c> his</c><00:14:27.600><c> name</c><00:14:27.860><c> was</c><00:14:28.200><c> called</c><00:14:28.779><c> Edom,</c>

00:14:30.019 --> 00:14:34.460
because<00:14:30.620><c> in</c><00:14:31.440><c> Hebrew,</c><00:14:32.120><c> the</c><00:14:32.179><c> word</c><00:14:32.779><c> Adam,</c><00:14:33.799><c> which</c><00:14:33.980><c> you</c><00:14:34.100><c> can</c><00:14:34.320><c> see</c>

00:14:34.460 --> 00:14:35.379
is<00:14:34.620><c> very</c><00:14:34.960><c> similar,</c>

00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.559
just<00:14:35.980><c> with</c><00:14:36.220><c> the</c><00:14:36.440><c> change</c><00:14:36.700><c> of</c><00:14:36.919><c> the</c><00:14:37.659><c> first</c><00:14:38.000><c> vowel</c><00:14:38.340><c> sound</c><00:14:38.639><c> there,</c>

00:14:39.779 --> 00:14:42.559
the<00:14:39.940><c> word</c><00:14:40.340><c> red,</c><00:14:41.159><c> and</c><00:14:41.360><c> it</c><00:14:41.519><c> literally</c><00:14:41.860><c> means</c><00:14:42.220><c> red.</c>

00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:47.200
So<00:14:43.139><c> he</c><00:14:43.600><c> said,</c><00:14:44.100><c> give</c><00:14:44.240><c> me</c><00:14:44.600><c> of</c><00:14:44.820><c> that</c><00:14:45.259><c> Adam,</c><00:14:46.220><c> of</c><00:14:46.379><c> that</c><00:14:46.759><c> Adam,</c>

00:14:47.700 --> 00:14:50.559
therefore<00:14:48.080><c> was</c><00:14:48.419><c> his</c><00:14:48.720><c> name</c><00:14:48.960><c> called</c><00:14:49.399><c> Edom.</c>

00:14:51.340 --> 00:14:54.679
And<00:14:52.019><c> of</c><00:14:52.200><c> course,</c><00:14:52.960><c> the</c><00:14:53.220><c> characteristic</c><00:14:53.720><c> that</c><00:14:53.919><c> he</c><00:14:54.159><c> manifested</c>

00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.460
was<00:14:55.299><c> nothing</c><00:14:55.580><c> new.</c>

00:14:56.659 --> 00:14:58.759
It<00:14:56.799><c> was</c><00:14:56.960><c> something</c><00:14:57.240><c> that</c><00:14:57.559><c> started</c><00:14:57.779><c> in</c><00:14:58.000><c> the</c><00:14:58.159><c> Garden</c><00:14:58.399><c> of</c><00:14:58.620><c> Eden,</c>

00:14:58.840 --> 00:14:59.399
wasn't<00:14:59.059><c> it?</c>

00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.639
It<00:14:59.779><c> was</c><00:14:59.980><c> something</c><00:15:00.379><c> that</c><00:15:00.759><c> started</c><00:15:01.019><c> when</c><00:15:01.320><c> God</c><00:15:01.700><c> gave</c><00:15:02.100><c> flesh</c>

00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:04.279
free<00:15:03.240><c> will,</c>

00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:07.919

00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:10.220
and<00:15:08.559><c> who</c><00:15:08.740><c> was</c><00:15:08.899><c> the</c><00:15:09.080><c> first</c><00:15:09.279><c> one</c><00:15:09.500><c> that</c><00:15:09.679><c> did</c><00:15:09.860><c> that?</c>

00:15:10.700 --> 00:15:13.740
Well,<00:15:11.139><c> the</c><00:15:11.299><c> first</c><00:15:11.500><c> one</c><00:15:11.639><c> of</c><00:15:11.759><c> the</c><00:15:11.960><c> human</c><00:15:12.120><c> race</c><00:15:12.360><c> was</c><00:15:12.539><c> a</c><00:15:12.659><c> man</c><00:15:12.820><c> called</c><00:15:13.179><c> Adam,</c>

00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:21.379
The<00:15:16.919><c> two</c><00:15:17.120><c> A's,</c><00:15:18.200><c> Adam,</c><00:15:18.740><c> sometimes</c><00:15:19.299><c> translated</c><00:15:19.840><c> man,</c><00:15:20.519><c> but</c><00:15:20.679><c> essentially</c><00:15:21.139><c> it</c>

00:15:21.379 --> 00:15:21.840
means<00:15:21.559><c> red.</c>

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.379
He<00:15:22.159><c> was</c><00:15:22.360><c> made</c><00:15:22.559><c> out</c><00:15:22.720><c> of</c><00:15:22.840><c> the</c><00:15:22.960><c> red</c><00:15:23.120><c> earth,</c>

00:15:23.580 --> 00:15:26.840
but<00:15:23.779><c> God</c><00:15:24.039><c> knew</c><00:15:24.259><c> what</c><00:15:24.419><c> he</c><00:15:24.580><c> was</c><00:15:24.759><c> doing</c><00:15:24.980><c> when</c><00:15:25.139><c> he</c><00:15:25.399><c> called</c><00:15:25.580><c> him</c><00:15:25.899><c> Adam.</c>

00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:33.740
And<00:15:27.960><c> so</c><00:15:28.460><c> Esau</c><00:15:29.580><c> said,</c><00:15:30.779><c> give</c><00:15:30.940><c> me</c><00:15:31.299><c> that</c><00:15:31.700><c> Adam,</c><00:15:32.379><c> that</c><00:15:32.679><c> Adam,</c>

00:15:50.659 --> 00:15:54.120
It's<00:15:50.879><c> a</c><00:15:51.080><c> parable</c><00:15:51.320><c> which</c><00:15:51.539><c> is</c><00:15:51.779><c> found</c><00:15:51.960><c> not</c><00:15:52.200><c> only</c><00:15:52.460><c> in</c><00:15:52.639><c> Ezekiel</c><00:15:53.059><c> chapter</c><00:15:53.440><c> 35,</c>

And<00:16:55.360><c> God</c><00:16:55.580><c> says</c><00:16:55.779><c> because</c><00:16:56.299><c> you</c><00:16:56.580><c> have</c><00:16:56.820><c> voluntarily,</c>

00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:13.759
Now<00:17:10.900><c> what</c><00:17:11.059><c> about</c><00:17:11.339><c> those</c><00:17:11.759><c> individuals,</c><00:17:12.839><c> or</c><00:17:13.039><c> as</c><00:17:13.220><c> we</c><00:17:13.420><c> shall</c><00:17:13.579><c> see</c>

00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:14.240
this<00:17:14.000><c> morning,</c>

00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:19.740
those<00:17:14.640><c> nations</c><00:17:15.460><c> that</c><00:17:16.759><c> refuse</c><00:17:17.460><c> to</c><00:17:17.740><c> declare</c><00:17:17.960><c> the</c><00:17:18.200><c> righteousness</c><00:17:18.559><c> of</c><00:17:18.839><c> God,</c>

00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:22.920
then<00:17:20.339><c> God's</c><00:17:20.980><c> righteousness</c><00:17:21.579><c> demands.</c>

00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:27.059
It<00:17:23.559><c> demands</c><00:17:24.220><c> that</c><00:17:24.779><c> their</c><00:17:25.059><c> blood</c><00:17:25.579><c> must</c><00:17:26.000><c> be</c><00:17:26.240><c> shed.</c>

00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:29.200
Therefore<00:17:27.859><c> I</c><00:17:28.059><c> submit,</c><00:17:28.619><c> brethren</c><00:17:28.680><c> and</c><00:17:28.940><c> sisters,</c>

00:17:56.299 --> 00:17:59.119
And<00:17:56.519><c> it's</c><00:17:56.680><c> going</c><00:17:56.799><c> to</c><00:17:56.960><c> take</c><00:17:57.079><c> us</c><00:17:57.220><c> from</c><00:17:57.420><c> chapter</c><00:17:57.720><c> 35</c><00:17:58.339><c> to</c><00:17:58.539><c> 39</c>

Perhaps<00:28:59.119><c> we</c><00:28:59.380><c> missed</c><00:28:59.559><c> the</c><00:28:59.799><c> point</c><00:29:00.039><c> that</c><00:29:00.240><c> the</c><00:29:00.480><c> obvious</c><00:29:00.799><c> fact</c><00:29:01.099><c> is</c>

00:29:01.740 --> 00:29:05.900
that<00:29:02.339><c> for</c><00:29:02.920><c> the</c><00:29:03.180><c> Gogian</c><00:29:03.680><c> host</c><00:29:04.059><c> to</c><00:29:04.359><c> invade</c><00:29:04.759><c> the</c><00:29:04.940><c> land</c><00:29:05.140><c> of</c><00:29:05.420><c> Israel</c>

necessitates<00:29:06.799><c> that</c><00:29:06.940><c> there</c><00:29:07.079><c> must</c><00:29:07.299><c> be</c><00:29:07.519><c> people</c><00:29:07.759><c> in</c><00:29:08.000><c> the</c><00:29:08.160><c> land</c><00:29:08.400><c> at</c>

that<00:29:09.079><c> time.</c>

00:29:09.819 --> 00:29:12.259
And<00:29:10.000><c> so</c><00:29:10.099><c> I</c><00:29:10.299><c> suppose</c><00:29:10.500><c> the</c><00:29:10.740><c> answer</c><00:29:10.980><c> really</c><00:29:11.299><c> is</c><00:29:11.480><c> very</c><00:29:11.759><c> simple.</c>

00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:15.259
But<00:29:12.859><c> all</c><00:29:13.059><c> of</c><00:29:13.200><c> those</c><00:29:13.359><c> other</c><00:29:13.619><c> well</c><00:29:13.980><c>-known</c><00:29:14.180><c> quotes</c><00:29:14.440><c> that</c><00:29:14.660><c> we</c><00:29:14.859><c> might</c><00:29:15.019><c> use</c>

00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:21.640

00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:30.740
And,<00:29:28.380><c> God</c><00:29:28.559><c> willing,</c><00:29:28.819><c> we</c><00:29:29.000><c> will</c><00:29:29.279><c> deal</c><00:29:29.700><c> briefly</c><00:29:30.140><c> with</c><00:29:30.400><c> that</c>

00:29:30.740 --> 00:29:32.720

00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:38.259
But<00:29:33.660><c> we</c><00:29:33.880><c> come</c><00:29:34.140><c> then</c><00:29:34.359><c> to</c><00:29:34.539><c> this</c><00:29:35.019><c> particular</c><00:29:35.559><c> event</c><00:29:35.880><c> in</c><00:29:36.440><c> Ezekiel</c><00:29:37.000><c> 38.</c>

00:29:38.579 --> 00:29:42.140
We<00:29:38.779><c> would</c><00:29:38.960><c> be</c><00:29:39.160><c> very</c><00:29:39.519><c> familiar</c><00:29:39.859><c> with</c><00:29:40.059><c> this</c><00:29:40.299><c> from</c><00:29:40.519><c> our</c><00:29:40.900><c> public</c><00:29:41.220><c> lectures.</c>

00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:44.460
In<00:29:42.519><c> that</c><00:29:42.779><c> sense,</c><00:29:43.180><c> therefore,</c><00:29:43.460><c> it's</c><00:29:43.640><c> not</c><00:29:43.880><c> my</c><00:29:44.059><c> intention</c>

00:29:44.460 --> 00:29:46.200
to<00:29:44.700><c> try</c><00:29:44.859><c> and</c><00:29:45.019><c> go</c><00:29:45.140><c> through</c><00:29:45.400><c> and</c><00:29:45.680><c> expound</c><00:29:45.980><c> this.</c>

00:29:46.500 --> 00:29:50.220
We<00:29:46.700><c> want</c><00:29:46.960><c> to</c><00:29:47.140><c> pick</c><00:29:47.319><c> up,</c><00:29:47.819><c> though,</c><00:29:47.859><c> the</c><00:29:48.019><c> theme</c><00:29:48.359><c> of</c><00:29:48.920><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:53.420
Now,<00:29:51.200><c> in</c><00:29:51.299><c> our</c><00:29:51.519><c> public</c><00:29:51.859><c> lectures</c><00:29:52.160><c> we</c><00:29:52.359><c> talk</c><00:29:52.619><c> about</c><00:29:52.920><c> the</c><00:29:53.140><c> fact</c>

00:29:53.420 --> 00:29:56.640
that<00:29:53.880><c> there</c><00:29:54.119><c> is</c><00:29:54.400><c> going</c><00:29:54.640><c> to</c><00:29:54.920><c> be</c><00:29:55.359><c> a</c><00:29:55.640><c> confederacy</c><00:29:56.119><c> of</c><00:29:56.319><c> nations.</c>

00:29:56.859 --> 00:29:59.500
I<00:29:57.019><c> know</c><00:29:57.279><c> from</c><00:29:57.519><c> time</c><00:29:57.779><c> to</c><00:29:57.960><c> time</c><00:29:58.599><c> people</c><00:29:59.119><c> are,</c>

00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:01.980
and<00:30:00.200><c> I</c><00:30:00.380><c> suggest</c><00:30:00.660><c> with</c><00:30:00.839><c> all</c><00:30:01.039><c> good</c><00:30:01.299><c> intentions,</c>

00:30:01.980 --> 00:30:05.079
look<00:30:02.700><c> at</c><00:30:03.279><c> current</c><00:30:03.559><c> events</c><00:30:03.859><c> a</c><00:30:04.039><c> little</c><00:30:04.240><c> too</c><00:30:04.640><c> closely.</c>

00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:07.420
I<00:30:05.619><c> think</c><00:30:05.660><c> it's</c><00:30:05.880><c> a</c><00:30:06.019><c> dangerous</c><00:30:06.460><c> thing.</c>

00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:10.019
Well,<00:30:08.099><c> I</c><00:30:08.460><c> suppose</c><00:30:08.700><c> it's</c><00:30:08.859><c> all</c><00:30:08.960><c> right</c><00:30:09.019><c> to</c><00:30:09.140><c> look</c><00:30:09.299><c> at</c><00:30:09.380><c> them</c><00:30:09.579><c> closely.</c>

00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:13.359
Just<00:30:10.640><c> be</c><00:30:10.900><c> careful,</c><00:30:11.380><c> though,</c><00:30:11.400><c> what</c><00:30:11.720><c> conclusions</c><00:30:12.299><c> we</c><00:30:12.599><c> come</c><00:30:12.799><c> to</c>

00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:16.359
when<00:30:13.720><c> we</c><00:30:13.900><c> are</c><00:30:14.039><c> looking</c><00:30:14.180><c> at</c><00:30:14.400><c> events</c><00:30:14.859><c> too</c><00:30:15.440><c> closely.</c>

00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:20.299
E<00:30:16.779><c>.g.,</c><00:30:17.839><c> Britain</c><00:30:18.160><c> will</c><00:30:18.400><c> never</c><00:30:18.619><c> join</c><00:30:18.859><c> the</c><00:30:19.119><c> common</c><00:30:19.299><c> market.</c>

00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:21.660
And<00:30:20.680><c> she</c><00:30:20.839><c> did.</c>

00:30:22.539 --> 00:30:24.980
Russia<00:30:22.920><c> will</c><00:30:23.279><c> take</c><00:30:23.819><c> Europe</c><00:30:24.279><c> by</c><00:30:24.619><c> force.</c>

00:30:25.180 --> 00:30:26.740
And<00:30:25.460><c> she</c><00:30:25.640><c> may</c><00:30:25.900><c> do.</c>

00:30:27.140 --> 00:30:29.000
But<00:30:27.299><c> I</c><00:30:27.400><c> think</c><00:30:27.599><c> many</c><00:30:27.880><c> people</c><00:30:28.140><c> were</c><00:30:28.380><c> surprised</c>

00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:32.740
when<00:30:29.500><c> we</c><00:30:29.720><c> found</c><00:30:29.980><c> how</c><00:30:30.339><c> quickly</c><00:30:30.940><c> Russia</c><00:30:31.819><c> was</c><00:30:32.160><c> prepared</c>

00:30:32.740 --> 00:30:35.400
to<00:30:33.059><c> hand</c><00:30:33.319><c> over</c><00:30:33.740><c> East</c><00:30:34.140><c> Germany</c><00:30:34.460><c> to</c><00:30:34.640><c> West</c><00:30:34.940><c> Germany.</c>

00:30:35.779 --> 00:30:37.640
And<00:30:36.079><c> probably</c><00:30:36.380><c> many</c><00:30:36.640><c> of</c><00:30:36.759><c> us</c><00:30:36.859><c> would</c><00:30:37.019><c> have</c><00:30:37.180><c> never</c><00:30:37.380><c> thought</c>

00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:39.859
it<00:30:37.779><c> would</c><00:30:37.940><c> happen</c><00:30:38.200><c> quite</c><00:30:38.500><c> like</c><00:30:38.839><c> that.</c>

00:30:40.740 --> 00:30:42.839
Because<00:30:41.160><c> of</c><00:30:41.359><c> the</c><00:30:41.519><c> fact</c><00:30:41.700><c> that</c><00:30:41.940><c> the</c><00:30:42.259><c> Palestinians,</c>

00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:45.160
it<00:30:43.140><c> seemed</c><00:30:43.259><c> to</c><00:30:43.440><c> be</c><00:30:43.579><c> making</c><00:30:43.740><c> a</c><00:30:43.839><c> lot</c><00:30:44.019><c> of</c><00:30:44.240><c> noise,</c>

00:30:45.460 --> 00:30:48.539
people<00:30:45.740><c> like</c><00:30:46.059><c> Saddam</c><00:30:46.500><c> Hussein</c><00:30:46.920><c> suddenly</c><00:30:47.559><c> come</c><00:30:47.759><c> into</c><00:30:47.940><c> the</c><00:30:48.099><c> limelight,</c>

00:30:48.819 --> 00:30:50.559
we<00:30:49.039><c> have</c><00:30:49.240><c> people</c><00:30:49.640><c> dashing</c><00:30:50.039><c> around</c><00:30:50.299><c> and</c><00:30:50.460><c> saying,</c>

00:30:50.819 --> 00:30:53.980
well,<00:30:50.819><c> couldn't</c><00:30:51.200><c> these</c><00:30:51.619><c> things</c><00:30:52.140><c> refer</c><00:30:52.700><c> to</c><00:30:52.900><c> the</c><00:30:53.200><c> Arabs?</c>

00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:57.160
Well,<00:30:54.880><c> there</c><00:30:55.079><c> are</c><00:30:55.259><c> Bible</c><00:30:55.559><c> prophecies</c><00:30:56.119><c> concerning</c><00:30:56.519><c> the</c><00:30:56.880><c> Arabs.</c>

00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:00.579
But<00:30:58.000><c> essentially,</c><00:30:58.720><c> the</c><00:30:58.799><c> Bible</c><00:30:59.140><c> prophecies</c><00:30:59.660><c> concerning</c><00:31:00.059><c> the</c><00:31:00.420><c> Arabs</c>

00:31:00.579 --> 00:31:03.519
tell<00:31:00.839><c> us</c><00:31:01.500><c> that</c><00:31:01.920><c> the</c><00:31:02.240><c> Arabs</c><00:31:02.440><c> are</c><00:31:02.759><c> going</c><00:31:02.940><c> to</c><00:31:03.160><c> be</c><00:31:03.319><c> there,</c>

and<00:36:03.519><c> what</c><00:36:03.659><c> we're</c><00:36:03.900><c> really</c><00:36:04.320><c> studying</c><00:36:04.519><c> at</c><00:36:04.760><c> this</c><00:36:04.940><c> Bible</c><00:36:05.300><c> school?</c>

00:36:06.940 --> 00:36:08.320
Well,<00:36:07.139><c> remember</c><00:36:07.400><c> our</c><00:36:07.679><c> theme</c><00:36:07.880><c> is,</c>

00:36:08.739 --> 00:36:10.179
they<00:36:08.980><c> shall</c><00:36:09.159><c> know</c><00:36:09.360><c> that</c><00:36:09.559><c> I</c><00:36:09.679><c> am</c><00:36:09.820><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:36:10.179 --> 00:36:13.119
How<00:36:10.599><c> is</c><00:36:10.880><c> the</c><00:36:11.099><c> world</c><00:36:11.320><c> going</c><00:36:11.619><c> to</c><00:36:11.820><c> come</c><00:36:11.980><c> to</c><00:36:12.159><c> know</c><00:36:12.460><c> Yahweh</c><00:36:12.820><c> out</c><00:36:13.019><c> of</c>

00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:13.679
all<00:36:13.260><c> of</c><00:36:13.420><c> this?</c>

00:36:14.139 --> 00:36:16.380
It's<00:36:14.420><c> not</c><00:36:14.679><c> just</c><00:36:14.940><c> a</c><00:36:15.039><c> matter</c><00:36:15.239><c> of</c><00:36:15.340><c> them</c><00:36:15.500><c> sitting</c><00:36:15.699><c> back</c><00:36:15.980><c> and</c><00:36:16.159><c> saying,</c>

00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:19.880
God<00:36:16.900><c> is</c><00:36:17.239><c> great</c><00:36:17.480><c> because</c><00:36:17.800><c> he's</c><00:36:18.179><c> destroyed</c><00:36:18.599><c> those</c><00:36:18.980><c> powers.</c>

00:36:20.500 --> 00:36:22.559
You<00:36:20.579><c> know,</c><00:36:20.639><c> that's</c><00:36:20.940><c> the</c><00:36:21.099><c> same</c><00:36:21.360><c> sort</c><00:36:21.599><c> of</c><00:36:21.820><c> thing</c><00:36:22.000><c> as</c><00:36:22.219><c> the</c><00:36:22.380><c> Lord</c>

00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:23.719
Jesus<00:36:22.980><c> Christ</c><00:36:23.400><c> had</c>

00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:27.000
when<00:36:24.500><c> he</c><00:36:24.699><c> had</c><00:36:24.860><c> people</c><00:36:25.219><c> following</c><00:36:25.619><c> him</c><00:36:25.860><c> because</c><00:36:26.099><c> he</c><00:36:26.280><c> did</c><00:36:26.420><c> miracles.</c>

00:36:27.219 --> 00:36:30.260
And<00:36:27.500><c> in</c><00:36:27.679><c> many</c><00:36:27.860><c> respects</c><00:36:28.260><c> they</c><00:36:28.460><c> were</c><00:36:28.639><c> more</c><00:36:28.960><c> of</c><00:36:29.099><c> an</c><00:36:29.380><c> embarrassment</c><00:36:29.860><c> to</c><00:36:30.139><c> him</c>

00:36:30.260 --> 00:36:32.039
than<00:36:30.400><c> the</c><00:36:30.679><c> Pharisees.</c>

00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:35.280
People<00:36:32.860><c> following</c><00:36:33.340><c> him</c><00:36:33.579><c> because</c><00:36:33.980><c> he</c><00:36:34.320><c> filled</c><00:36:34.519><c> their</c><00:36:34.840><c> stomachs</c>

00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:35.699
with<00:36:35.440><c> bread.</c>

00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:37.460
That's<00:36:36.099><c> what</c><00:36:36.199><c> he</c><00:36:36.420><c> told</c><00:36:36.559><c> them</c><00:36:36.719><c> in</c><00:36:36.900><c> John</c><00:36:37.159><c> 6.</c>

00:36:37.460 --> 00:36:41.440
He<00:36:37.800><c> says</c><00:36:37.940><c> you're</c><00:36:38.280><c> following</c><00:36:38.639><c> me</c><00:36:39.099><c> not</c><00:36:39.380><c> because</c><00:36:39.840><c> you</c><00:36:40.980><c> perceived</c>

00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:42.239
the<00:36:41.800><c> sign</c>

00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:45.800
but<00:36:43.320><c> because</c><00:36:43.719><c> I</c><00:36:44.000><c> filled</c><00:36:44.159><c> your</c><00:36:44.400><c> stomachs</c><00:36:44.780><c> with</c><00:36:44.920><c> bread.</c>

00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:48.760
So<00:36:46.219><c> God</c><00:36:46.500><c> doesn't</c><00:36:46.840><c> want</c><00:36:47.159><c> people</c><00:36:47.559><c> to</c><00:36:48.019><c> accept</c><00:36:48.420><c> him</c>

00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:52.599
just<00:36:49.559><c> because</c><00:36:49.960><c> he</c><00:36:50.099><c> was</c><00:36:50.320><c> able</c><00:36:50.480><c> to</c><00:36:50.699><c> use</c><00:36:50.940><c> power</c><00:36:51.380><c> to</c><00:36:51.780><c> destroy</c>

00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:54.099
Israel's<00:36:53.260><c> enemies.</c>

00:36:54.539 --> 00:36:57.059
He<00:36:54.880><c> wants</c><00:36:55.139><c> them</c><00:36:55.300><c> to</c><00:36:55.599><c> understand</c><00:36:56.039><c> what</c><00:36:56.199><c> it</c><00:36:56.320><c> was</c><00:36:56.460><c> all</c><00:36:56.679><c> about.</c>

00:36:57.340 --> 00:37:00.340
Now<00:36:57.539><c> that's</c><00:36:57.760><c> why</c><00:36:57.940><c> we</c><00:36:58.079><c> read</c><00:36:58.260><c> this</c><00:36:58.519><c> morning</c><00:36:58.760><c> Ezekiel</c><00:36:59.260><c> 39.</c>

00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:02.500
So<00:37:00.719><c> a</c><00:37:01.059><c> brief</c><00:37:01.239><c> coverage,</c><00:37:01.719><c> what</c><00:37:01.880><c> have</c><00:37:02.019><c> we</c><00:37:02.199><c> seen?</c>

00:37:02.500 --> 00:37:07.400
Ezekiel<00:37:03.699><c> 35</c><00:37:04.699><c> is</c><00:37:05.619><c> a</c><00:37:05.860><c> chapter</c><00:37:06.119><c> which</c><00:37:06.420><c> speaks</c><00:37:06.699><c> to</c><00:37:06.940><c> us</c>

00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:11.699
of<00:37:08.380><c> the</c><00:37:08.719><c> judgments</c><00:37:09.159><c> of</c><00:37:09.460><c> God</c><00:37:09.699><c> on</c><00:37:09.960><c> the</c><00:37:10.159><c> latter</c><00:37:10.320><c>-day</c><00:37:10.639><c> haters</c><00:37:10.980><c> of</c><00:37:11.139><c> Israel.</c>

00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:15.719
And<00:37:12.400><c> the</c><00:37:12.539><c> only</c><00:37:12.739><c> way</c><00:37:12.940><c> that</c><00:37:13.280><c> God's</c><00:37:13.800><c> judgment</c><00:37:14.179><c> and</c><00:37:14.780><c> God's</c><00:37:15.300><c> righteousness</c>

00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:20.260
can<00:37:16.099><c> be</c><00:37:16.280><c> vindicated</c><00:37:16.820><c> is</c><00:37:17.179><c> by</c><00:37:17.420><c> the</c><00:37:17.739><c> shedding</c><00:37:18.019><c> of</c><00:37:18.880><c> their</c><00:37:19.199><c> blood.</c>

00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:24.239
Blood<00:37:21.099><c> shedding</c><00:37:21.440><c> involves</c><00:37:22.559><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:27.119
So<00:37:24.739><c> what's</c><00:37:25.059><c> Ezekiel</c><00:37:25.460><c> chapter</c><00:37:25.780><c> 39</c><00:37:26.239><c> about?</c>

00:37:27.460 --> 00:37:30.019
It's<00:37:27.820><c> about</c><00:37:28.059><c> the</c><00:37:28.440><c> sacrifice</c><00:37:29.260><c> of</c><00:37:29.719><c> Gog.</c>

00:37:30.019 --> 00:37:32.360
The<00:37:31.039><c> sacrifice</c><00:37:31.900><c> of</c><00:37:32.280><c> Gog.</c>

00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:35.500
So<00:37:32.920><c> however</c><00:37:33.239><c> we</c><00:37:33.420><c> may</c><00:37:33.679><c> like</c><00:37:33.860><c> to</c><00:37:34.139><c> present</c><00:37:34.280><c> it</c><00:37:34.440><c> in</c><00:37:34.539><c> our</c><00:37:34.739><c> public</c><00:37:35.039><c> lectures,</c>

00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:38.059
and<00:37:36.000><c> of</c><00:37:36.179><c> course</c><00:37:36.320><c> there's</c><00:37:36.619><c> some</c><00:37:36.820><c> things</c><00:37:36.960><c> you</c><00:37:37.139><c> can't</c><00:37:37.480><c> tell</c><00:37:37.639><c> the</c><00:37:37.860><c> public</c>

00:37:38.059 --> 00:37:39.400
because<00:37:38.179><c> they're</c><00:37:38.420><c> not</c><00:37:38.539><c> ready</c><00:37:38.760><c> to</c><00:37:39.059><c> receive</c><00:37:39.260><c> it.</c>

00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:41.119
I<00:37:39.739><c> didn't</c><00:37:39.980><c> mention</c><00:37:40.300><c> anything</c><00:37:40.619><c> last</c><00:37:40.920><c> night.</c>

00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:43.260
Obviously<00:37:41.599><c> about</c><00:37:41.880><c> the</c><00:37:42.219><c> sacrifice</c><00:37:42.760><c> of</c><00:37:43.039><c> Gog</c>

00:37:43.260 --> 00:37:46.000
or<00:37:43.699><c> people</c><00:37:43.980><c> would</c><00:37:44.159><c> have</c><00:37:44.300><c> said</c><00:37:44.460><c> what</c><00:37:44.579><c> are</c><00:37:44.719><c> you</c><00:37:44.880><c> talking</c><00:37:45.119><c> about?</c>

00:37:46.179 --> 00:37:49.460
But<00:37:46.300><c> we're</c><00:37:46.539><c> talking</c><00:37:46.780><c> now</c><00:37:46.980><c> to</c><00:37:47.159><c> people</c><00:37:47.420><c> who</c><00:37:48.000><c> know</c><00:37:48.219><c> these</c><00:37:48.559><c> things.</c>

00:37:49.739 --> 00:37:53.039
We're<00:37:50.119><c> talking</c><00:37:50.260><c> about</c><00:37:50.619><c> people</c><00:37:50.900><c> who</c><00:37:51.159><c> understand</c><00:37:51.460><c> what's</c><00:37:51.900><c> going</c><00:37:51.980><c> to</c><00:37:52.239><c> happen.</c>

00:37:53.380 --> 00:37:57.019
Ezekiel<00:37:53.840><c> chapter</c><00:37:54.239><c> 39</c><00:37:54.699><c> is</c><00:37:54.980><c> all</c><00:37:55.260><c> about</c><00:37:55.599><c> a</c><00:37:56.460><c> sacrifice</c>

00:37:57.019 --> 00:38:02.199
and<00:37:57.579><c> it</c><00:37:57.739><c> involves</c><00:37:58.480><c> what</c><00:37:58.679><c> we've</c><00:37:59.079><c> called</c><00:37:59.340><c> the</c><00:37:59.659><c> national</c><00:38:00.579><c> doctrine</c><00:38:01.099><c> of</c><00:38:01.280><c> the</c><00:38:01.480><c> atonement.</c>

00:38:02.579 --> 00:38:05.480
Exactly<00:38:03.019><c> the</c><00:38:03.300><c> same</c><00:38:03.539><c> principles</c><00:38:03.980><c> that</c><00:38:04.179><c> have</c><00:38:04.360><c> involved</c><00:38:04.679><c> you</c><00:38:04.880><c> and</c><00:38:05.079><c> me</c>

00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:07.179
when<00:38:05.820><c> we</c><00:38:05.980><c> were</c><00:38:06.159><c> baptized.</c>

00:38:07.260 --> 00:38:12.079
Let's<00:38:07.519><c> pick</c><00:38:07.699><c> it</c><00:38:07.860><c> up</c><00:38:08.239><c> in</c><00:38:08.619><c> our</c><00:38:08.800><c> remaining</c><00:38:09.179><c> 10</c><00:38:09.420><c> minutes</c><00:38:09.739><c> from</c><00:38:09.960><c> Ezekiel</c><00:38:10.460><c> chapter</c><00:38:10.820><c> 39.</c>

00:38:13.219 --> 00:38:18.380
The<00:38:13.420><c> chapter</c><00:38:13.800><c> opens</c><00:38:14.300><c> with</c><00:38:14.760><c> the</c><00:38:15.460><c> prophet</c><00:38:15.800><c> being</c><00:38:16.159><c> told</c><00:38:16.500><c> to</c><00:38:16.739><c> direct</c><00:38:17.079><c> his</c><00:38:17.500><c> words</c>

00:38:18.380 --> 00:38:24.940

00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:06.940
What<00:41:03.940><c> Brother</c><00:41:04.199><c> Thomas</c><00:41:04.500><c> would</c><00:41:04.739><c> call</c><00:41:04.980><c> the</c><00:41:05.260><c> stone</c><00:41:05.820><c> kingdom</c><00:41:06.260><c> of</c><00:41:06.639><c> Judah,</c>

00:41:55.980 --> 00:41:59.739

00:42:10.460 --> 00:42:13.780

00:42:16.579 --> 00:42:20.340

00:45:26.719 --> 00:45:28.639
Well,<00:45:26.900><c> I</c><00:45:27.059><c> suppose</c><00:45:27.260><c> the</c><00:45:27.579><c> translators</c><00:45:28.039><c> made</c><00:45:28.300><c> a</c><00:45:28.480><c> guess</c>
