that<00:09:51.440><c> he</c><00:09:51.539><c> would</c><00:09:52.080><c> redeem</c><00:09:52.460><c> them</c><00:09:52.659><c> from</c><00:09:52.840><c> Israel</c>

00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.840
but<00:09:53.240><c> he</c><00:09:53.500><c> also</c><00:09:53.860><c> promised</c><00:09:54.179><c> that</c><00:09:54.340><c> he</c><00:09:54.460><c> would</c><00:09:54.980><c> give</c><00:09:55.200><c> them</c><00:09:55.440><c> a</c><00:09:55.600><c> land,</c>

00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.159
bring<00:09:56.100><c> them</c><00:09:56.299><c> into</c><00:09:56.480><c> the</c><00:09:56.659><c> land</c><00:09:56.860><c> of</c><00:09:57.179><c> promise.</c>

00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:00.620
And<00:09:59.100><c> here</c><00:09:59.299><c> it</c><00:09:59.460><c> was</c><00:09:59.639><c> happening.</c>

00:10:00.980 --> 00:10:04.820
The<00:10:01.639><c> second</c><00:10:02.019><c> part</c><00:10:02.299><c> of</c><00:10:02.500><c> God's</c><00:10:02.860><c> promise</c><00:10:03.120><c> was</c><00:10:03.360><c> being</c><00:10:03.659><c> fulfilled.</c>

00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:10.399
So<00:10:05.940><c> this</c><00:10:06.659><c> beautiful</c><00:10:07.879><c> structure</c><00:10:09.279><c> just,</c>

00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.340
and<00:10:10.740><c> the</c><00:10:10.919><c> lessons</c><00:10:11.240><c> that</c><00:10:11.539><c> come</c><00:10:11.720><c> from</c><00:10:12.139><c> like</c><00:10:12.580><c> seeing</c>

00:10:14.100 --> 00:10:16.639
the<00:10:14.759><c> way</c><00:10:15.419><c> that</c><00:10:15.580><c> it's</c><00:10:15.740><c> been</c><00:10:15.940><c> put</c><00:10:16.159><c> together</c>

00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:21.379
in<00:10:17.860><c> the</c><00:10:18.139><c> words</c><00:10:18.360><c> of</c><00:10:18.620><c> scripture</c><00:10:19.139><c> was</c><00:10:20.019><c> really</c><00:10:20.320><c> exciting</c><00:10:20.820><c> to</c><00:10:21.159><c> me</c>

00:10:21.379 --> 00:10:26.600
and<00:10:22.139><c> encouraging</c><00:10:22.860><c> and</c><00:10:24.580><c> it</c><00:10:25.740><c> meant</c><00:10:26.019><c> a</c><00:10:26.200><c> lot</c><00:10:26.320><c> to</c><00:10:26.500><c> me</c>

00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.659
to<00:10:27.220><c> have</c><00:10:28.279><c> this</c><00:10:28.580><c> revealed.</c>

00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:34.340
And<00:10:30.720><c> it</c><00:10:30.899><c> connects</c><00:10:31.480><c> to</c><00:10:32.679><c> a</c><00:10:32.879><c> biblical</c><00:10:33.200><c> feast,</c>

00:10:34.779 --> 00:10:37.919
the<00:10:34.879><c> feast</c><00:10:35.159><c> of</c><00:10:36.240><c> Rosh</c><00:10:36.500><c> Hashanah</c>

00:10:37.850 --> 00:10:41.240
which<00:10:38.360><c> literally</c><00:10:38.919><c> means</c><00:10:39.259><c> the</c><00:10:39.639><c> head</c><00:10:39.879><c> of</c><00:10:40.120><c> the</c><00:10:40.340><c> year.</c>

00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:47.179
But<00:10:42.059><c> interestingly,</c><00:10:43.539><c> that</c><00:10:44.360><c> name</c><00:10:45.320><c> is</c><00:10:46.299><c> nowhere</c><00:10:46.500><c> in</c><00:10:46.679><c> the</c><00:10:46.840><c> Bible</c>

00:10:47.179 --> 00:10:49.059
for<00:10:47.779><c> this</c><00:10:48.100><c> feast.</c>

00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:55.720
Instead<00:10:50.820><c> it's</c><00:10:51.120><c> called</c><00:10:51.379><c> the</c><00:10:52.240><c> day</c><00:10:52.820><c> of</c><00:10:53.779><c> remembering</c><00:10:54.379><c> a</c><00:10:55.220><c> blast</c>

00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.860
The<00:10:59.279><c> day</c><00:10:59.740><c> of</c><00:11:00.100><c> remembering</c><00:11:00.539><c> a</c><00:11:00.899><c> blast.</c>

00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.539
And<00:11:03.840><c> it's</c><00:11:04.940><c> interesting,</c><00:11:05.340><c> it</c><00:11:05.659><c> raises</c><00:11:06.059><c> the</c><00:11:06.279><c> question.</c>

00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:10.480
So<00:11:06.840><c> what</c><00:11:07.460><c> are</c><00:11:08.080><c> they</c><00:11:08.480><c> supposed</c><00:11:08.899><c> to</c><00:11:09.519><c> remember?</c>

00:11:11.100 --> 00:11:13.700
It's<00:11:11.740><c> spoken</c><00:11:11.899><c> of,</c><00:11:12.299><c> it's</c><00:11:12.360><c> very</c><00:11:12.679><c> short</c><00:11:13.159><c> descriptions</c>

00:11:13.700 --> 00:11:17.240

00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:20.279
where<00:11:17.840><c> it</c><00:11:18.139><c> says,</c><00:11:18.740><c> on</c><00:11:19.559><c> the</c><00:11:19.759><c> seventh</c><00:11:19.960><c> month,</c>

00:11:21.340 --> 00:11:23.200
you<00:11:21.460><c> shall</c><00:11:21.580><c> observe</c><00:11:21.899><c> a</c><00:11:22.059><c> day</c><00:11:22.259><c> of</c><00:11:22.580><c> solemn</c><00:11:22.799><c> rest,</c>

00:11:30.539 --> 00:11:32.299

00:11:49.419 --> 00:11:53.779

Again,<00:11:56.500><c> by</c><00:11:56.620><c> implication</c><00:11:57.159><c> of</c><00:11:57.399><c> the</c><00:11:57.600><c> trumpets.</c>

it<00:13:02.840><c> says</c><00:13:03.159><c> in</c><00:13:04.100><c> Job</c><00:13:04.500><c> 38,</c><00:13:05.120><c> I</c><00:13:05.279><c> believe,</c>

00:13:06.220 --> 00:13:08.480
when<00:13:06.580><c> they</c><00:13:06.899><c> saw</c><00:13:07.240><c> the</c><00:13:07.500><c> creation.</c>

00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.419
And<00:13:09.379><c> so</c><00:13:09.460><c> there's</c><00:13:09.740><c> that</c><00:13:10.019><c> aspect</c><00:13:10.460><c> of</c><00:13:10.639><c> it.</c>

00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:29.759

00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.360
they<00:13:29.960><c> were</c><00:13:30.139><c> supposed</c><00:13:30.460><c> to</c><00:13:30.639><c> be</c><00:13:31.379><c> remembering,</c>

00:14:23.460 --> 00:14:25.600
that's<00:14:23.840><c> kind</c><00:14:23.940><c> of</c><00:14:24.220><c> drawing</c><00:14:24.480><c> out</c><00:14:24.919><c> a</c><00:14:25.059><c> little</c><00:14:25.179><c> bit</c><00:14:25.379><c> more</c>

00:14:29.299 --> 00:14:34.879
And<00:14:29.299><c> sometimes</c><00:14:30.679><c> these</c><00:14:31.700><c> are</c><00:14:32.200><c> kind</c><00:14:32.519><c> of</c><00:14:32.720><c> bizarre</c><00:14:33.159><c> when</c><00:14:33.440><c> you</c><00:14:33.659><c> hear</c><00:14:33.820><c> them.</c>

00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:36.379

00:14:36.379 --> 00:14:40.220
And<00:14:36.960><c> sometimes</c><00:14:37.279><c> people</c><00:14:37.639><c> can't</c><00:14:38.580><c> get</c><00:14:38.820><c> past</c><00:14:39.159><c> that,</c>

00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:44.899
this<00:14:42.279><c> is</c><00:14:42.620><c> a</c><00:14:42.820><c> product</c><00:14:43.220><c> of</c><00:14:43.759><c> fanciful</c><00:14:44.279><c> imagination.</c>

00:14:45.179 --> 00:14:47.220
People<00:14:45.820><c> are</c><00:14:46.159><c> just</c><00:14:46.419><c> making</c><00:14:46.620><c> stuff</c><00:14:46.960><c> up.</c>

00:14:47.259 --> 00:14:48.759
This<00:14:47.480><c> isn't</c><00:14:47.659><c> in</c><00:14:47.860><c> the</c><00:14:48.000><c> Bible.</c>

00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.559
But<00:14:50.080><c> let</c><00:14:50.779><c> me</c><00:14:50.840><c> give</c><00:14:50.940><c> you</c><00:14:51.000><c> an</c><00:14:51.139><c> example</c>

00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.600

00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.600
We<00:14:56.720><c> talked</c><00:14:56.960><c> about</c><00:14:57.220><c> Moses</c><00:14:57.659><c> being</c><00:14:58.519><c> miraculously</c><00:14:59.139><c> saved</c>

from<00:15:00.220><c> the</c><00:15:00.460><c> proclamation</c><00:15:01.000><c> of</c><00:15:01.299><c> Pharaoh</c>

00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.639
to<00:15:01.679><c> be</c><00:15:01.919><c> thrown</c><00:15:02.200><c> into</c><00:15:04.539><c> the</c><00:15:04.779><c> Nile.</c>

00:15:05.860 --> 00:15:12.259
And<00:15:06.379><c> he</c><00:15:08.340><c> was</c><00:15:09.279><c> technically</c><00:15:10.279><c> put</c><00:15:10.679><c> in</c><00:15:11.179><c> the</c><00:15:11.340><c> Nile,</c>

00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:19.139
but<00:15:13.100><c> he</c><00:15:13.740><c> was</c><00:15:14.059><c> saved</c><00:15:14.340><c> from</c><00:15:14.740><c> death</c><00:15:15.379><c> by</c><00:15:16.919><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:15:18.220><c> daughter.</c>

00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:24.759
Now,<00:15:21.100><c> the</c><00:15:21.460><c> passage</c><00:15:21.799><c> where</c><00:15:22.019><c> it</c><00:15:22.259><c> describes</c><00:15:22.580><c> that</c><00:15:23.879><c> saving,</c>

00:15:25.059 --> 00:15:30.100
it<00:15:25.480><c> says</c><00:15:25.659><c> that</c><00:15:25.960><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:15:26.620><c> daughter</c><00:15:26.940><c> sent</c><00:15:27.379><c> forth</c><00:15:27.899><c> her</c><00:15:29.139><c> servant</c>

00:15:34.340 --> 00:15:37.799
Now,<00:15:35.700><c> the</c><00:15:35.820><c> midrash</c><00:15:36.179><c> of</c><00:15:36.340><c> that</c><00:15:36.580><c> is</c><00:15:36.740><c> a</c><00:15:36.940><c> very,</c>

the<00:15:38.320><c> first</c><00:15:38.500><c> time</c><00:15:38.679><c> I</c><00:15:38.820><c> heard</c><00:15:38.940><c> it</c><00:15:39.080><c> was</c><00:15:39.299><c> like</c><00:15:39.700><c> what?</c>

00:15:40.059 --> 00:15:41.519
That's<00:15:40.320><c> a</c><00:15:40.419><c> bit</c><00:15:40.539><c> bizarre.</c>

00:15:42.959 --> 00:15:47.900
The<00:15:43.439><c> midrash</c><00:15:43.919><c> is</c><00:15:44.220><c> that</c><00:15:44.519><c> the</c><00:15:44.740><c> word</c><00:15:45.039><c> for</c><00:15:46.539><c> servant</c><00:15:47.100><c> there</c>

00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.559
And<00:16:03.779><c> the</c><00:16:03.899><c> midrash</c><00:16:04.340><c> is</c><00:16:04.580><c> a</c><00:16:04.919><c> bit</c><00:16:05.200><c> bizarre.</c>

00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:11.179
It<00:16:05.759><c> says</c><00:16:06.000><c> that</c><00:16:06.559><c> miraculously</c><00:16:07.639><c> her</c><00:16:09.539><c> arm</c><00:16:10.399><c> lengthened</c>

00:16:18.580 --> 00:16:19.679
It<00:16:18.700><c> doesn't</c><00:16:18.940><c> say</c><00:16:19.139><c> that</c><00:16:19.240><c> in</c><00:16:19.360><c> the</c><00:16:19.460><c> Bible.</c>

00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:20.600
What<00:16:19.919><c> are</c><00:16:20.019><c> you</c><00:16:20.200><c> talking</c><00:16:20.379><c> about?</c>

00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:25.840
Yeah,<00:16:21.220><c> it's</c><00:16:21.480><c> the</c><00:16:21.639><c> same</c><00:16:21.840><c> word,</c><00:16:22.720><c> but</c><00:16:23.860><c> that</c><00:16:24.299><c> doesn't</c><00:16:24.500><c> make</c><00:16:24.740><c> any</c><00:16:24.919><c> sense.</c>

00:16:27.800 --> 00:16:29.980
But<00:16:28.360><c> the</c><00:16:28.659><c> thing</c><00:16:28.820><c> about</c><00:16:29.039><c> midrash</c><00:16:29.480><c> is</c>

00:16:29.980 --> 00:16:32.840
they're<00:16:30.240><c> not</c><00:16:30.519><c> supposed</c><00:16:30.779><c> to</c><00:16:30.919><c> be</c><00:16:31.120><c> taken</c><00:16:31.519><c> literally.</c>

00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:35.639
Really,<00:16:33.360><c> they're</c><00:16:33.720><c> meant</c><00:16:33.860><c> to</c><00:16:34.139><c> be</c><00:16:34.860><c> meditated</c><00:16:35.299><c> upon</c>

00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:39.720
to<00:16:35.860><c> think</c><00:16:36.080><c> about</c><00:16:37.159><c> a</c><00:16:38.200><c> symbolic</c><00:16:38.639><c> meaning.</c>

00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:43.779
And<00:16:41.179><c> the</c><00:16:42.179><c> symbol</c><00:16:42.399><c> of</c><00:16:42.600><c> her</c><00:16:42.799><c> doing</c><00:16:43.039><c> the</c><00:16:43.279><c> impossible</c>

00:16:43.779 --> 00:16:46.740
of<00:16:44.039><c> being</c><00:16:44.240><c> able</c><00:16:44.399><c> to</c><00:16:44.600><c> reach</c><00:16:45.419><c> 15</c><00:16:46.200><c> feet</c><00:16:46.500><c> away</c>

or<00:16:46.899><c> something</c><00:16:47.139><c> like</c><00:16:47.399><c> that</c><00:16:48.000><c> is</c><00:16:49.399><c> really</c><00:16:49.779><c> a</c><00:16:50.139><c> symbol</c>

00:16:51.319 --> 00:16:57.279
of<00:16:51.679><c> her</c><00:16:53.100><c> compassion</c><00:16:54.019><c> that</c><00:16:55.639><c> she</c><00:16:56.299><c> did</c><00:16:56.500><c> the</c><00:16:56.759><c> miraculous</c>

00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.720
considering<00:16:57.899><c> that</c><00:16:58.500><c> her</c><00:16:58.759><c> father's</c><00:16:59.379><c> decree</c>

00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.159
was<00:17:00.080><c> to</c><00:17:00.919><c> bring</c><00:17:01.279><c> death</c><00:17:01.620><c> upon</c><00:17:01.960><c> this</c><00:17:02.240><c> child.</c>

00:17:03.500 --> 00:17:06.079
But<00:17:03.679><c> she</c><00:17:03.840><c> took</c><00:17:04.140><c> that</c><00:17:05.000><c> risk,</c>

00:17:07.819 --> 00:17:09.660
the<00:17:07.980><c> fact</c><00:17:08.140><c> that</c><00:17:08.299><c> it's</c><00:17:08.640><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:17:09.099><c> daughter</c>

00:17:09.660 --> 00:17:13.440
taking<00:17:10.259><c> this</c><00:17:10.640><c> risk</c><00:17:11.079><c> of</c><00:17:11.859><c> reaching</c><00:17:12.180><c> out,</c>

00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:18.759
her<00:17:14.819><c> slave,</c><00:17:15.759><c> her</c><00:17:16.099><c> servant</c><00:17:16.359><c> was</c><00:17:16.799><c> an</c><00:17:16.980><c> extension</c><00:17:17.500><c> of</c><00:17:17.759><c> her</c><00:17:17.980><c> arm,</c>

00:17:18.859 --> 00:17:20.220
really,<00:17:19.079><c> by</c><00:17:19.259><c> sending</c><00:17:19.680><c> her</c><00:17:19.940><c> out</c>

00:17:20.220 --> 00:17:22.180
and<00:17:20.619><c> drawing</c><00:17:20.940><c> up</c><00:17:21.220><c> Moses</c><00:17:21.460><c> out</c><00:17:21.680><c> of</c><00:17:21.759><c> the</c><00:17:21.940><c> water.</c>

00:17:22.579 --> 00:17:24.599
That<00:17:22.779><c> was</c><00:17:23.000><c> a</c><00:17:23.220><c> miraculous</c><00:17:23.640><c> thing.</c>

00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:26.960
So<00:17:25.400><c> you</c><00:17:25.599><c> can</c><00:17:25.839><c> see</c><00:17:25.980><c> that</c><00:17:26.240><c> the</c><00:17:26.640><c> midrash</c>

00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:28.500
isn't<00:17:27.180><c> meant</c><00:17:27.380><c> to</c><00:17:27.500><c> be</c><00:17:27.660><c> taken</c><00:17:27.900><c> literally.</c>

00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:30.900
It's<00:17:28.740><c> meant</c><00:17:28.839><c> to</c><00:17:29.019><c> get</c><00:17:29.160><c> you</c><00:17:29.440><c> thinking.</c>

00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:33.680
So<00:17:32.240><c> with</c><00:17:32.940><c> that</c><00:17:33.059><c> as</c><00:17:33.180><c> an</c><00:17:33.339><c> introduction,</c>

00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.059
let<00:17:33.880><c> me</c><00:17:34.000><c> give</c><00:17:34.079><c> you</c><00:17:34.240><c> the</c><00:17:34.380><c> midrash</c><00:17:34.839><c> for</c><00:17:35.819><c> the</c><00:17:36.619><c> idea</c>

00:17:37.059 --> 00:17:42.240
of<00:17:37.440><c> the</c><00:17:37.720><c> shofar</c><00:17:38.440><c> blast</c><00:17:39.200><c> in</c><00:17:40.559><c> Rosh</c><00:17:41.039><c> Hashanah.</c>

00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:46.019
And<00:17:44.500><c> this,</c><00:17:44.859><c> again,</c><00:17:45.119><c> it</c><00:17:45.380><c> sounds</c><00:17:45.559><c> crazy,</c>

00:17:46.019 --> 00:17:48.240
but<00:17:46.259><c> give</c><00:17:46.420><c> it</c><00:17:46.559><c> a</c><00:17:46.740><c> chance</c><00:17:47.000><c> that</c><00:17:47.539><c> the</c><00:17:47.779><c> idea</c>

00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.220
that<00:17:48.460><c> this</c><00:17:48.640><c> goes</c><00:17:48.819><c> back</c><00:17:49.160><c> to</c><00:17:50.039><c> like</c><00:17:50.380><c> 1</c><00:17:50.619><c>,500</c><00:17:50.880><c> years</c><00:17:51.220><c> ago</c>

00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.160
that<00:17:53.039><c> they</c><00:17:53.299><c> said</c><00:17:53.599><c> that</c><00:17:54.259><c> the</c><00:17:54.619><c> shofar</c>

00:18:01.099 --> 00:18:04.460
Now,<00:18:02.059><c> the</c><00:18:02.319><c> Satan,</c><00:18:02.859><c> you</c><00:18:02.880><c> can</c><00:18:03.079><c> think</c><00:18:03.220><c> of</c><00:18:03.380><c> in</c><00:18:04.180><c> Job,</c>

00:18:04.460 --> 00:18:06.880
was<00:18:04.799><c> almost</c><00:18:05.039><c> like</c><00:18:05.259><c> a</c><00:18:05.559><c> prosecuting</c><00:18:06.200><c> attorney</c>

How<00:18:15.839><c> would</c><00:18:16.019><c> this</c><00:18:16.380><c> shofar</c><00:18:16.759><c> blast</c>

00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:59.039
Halfway<00:19:56.119><c> through</c><00:19:56.380><c> it</c><00:19:56.539><c> says,</c><00:19:57.119><c> whenever</c><00:19:57.119><c> a</c><00:19:57.440><c> man</c><00:19:57.720><c> or</c><00:19:57.940><c> animal,</c>

But<00:20:08.440><c> notice</c><00:20:08.759><c> what</c><00:20:08.920><c> it</c><00:20:09.039><c> says</c><00:20:09.220><c> next,</c>

they<00:20:30.200><c> say,</c><00:20:30.519><c> it</c><00:20:30.779><c> really</c><00:20:31.000><c> says</c><00:20:31.299><c> to</c><00:20:31.640><c> go</c><00:20:31.900><c> up</c><00:20:32.539><c> upon</c><00:20:33.160><c> the</c><00:20:33.440><c> mountain.</c>

00:20:35.299 --> 00:20:38.980
God<00:20:35.539><c> was</c><00:20:35.880><c> inviting,</c><00:20:37.640><c> if</c><00:20:38.059><c> you</c><00:20:38.220><c> take</c><00:20:38.400><c> that</c><00:20:38.680><c> literally,</c>

00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:45.440
God<00:20:39.279><c> was</c><00:20:39.480><c> inviting</c><00:20:39.900><c> the</c><00:20:40.220><c> people</c><00:20:40.880><c> to</c><00:20:41.680><c> come</c><00:20:42.000><c> up</c><00:20:42.759><c> upon</c><00:20:43.539><c> the</c><00:20:44.400><c> mountain,</c>

00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:55.660
So<00:20:50.680><c> approaching</c><00:20:50.980><c> God</c><00:20:51.480><c> cannot</c><00:20:51.799><c> just</c><00:20:52.059><c> be</c><00:20:52.319><c> done</c><00:20:53.079><c> on</c><00:20:54.420><c> our</c><00:20:54.920><c> own</c><00:20:55.200><c> terms.</c>

00:20:56.099 --> 00:20:57.859
God<00:20:56.359><c> sets</c><00:20:56.680><c> the</c><00:20:56.960><c> terms.</c>

00:20:58.019 --> 00:21:03.720
We<00:20:58.259><c> need</c><00:20:58.440><c> to</c><00:20:58.920><c> have</c><00:20:59.299><c> respect</c><00:20:59.900><c> for</c><00:21:00.619><c> God</c><00:21:01.099><c> and</c><00:21:01.660><c> his</c><00:21:02.660><c> great</c><00:21:03.299><c> might</c>

00:21:08.139 --> 00:21:14.539
But<00:21:08.539><c> God</c><00:21:09.059><c> invites</c><00:21:09.940><c> his</c><00:21:10.480><c> people</c><00:21:11.000><c> to</c><00:21:12.119><c> approach</c><00:21:12.500><c> him,</c><00:21:13.180><c> to</c><00:21:13.380><c> come</c><00:21:13.640><c> near.</c>

00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:18.440
And<00:21:15.380><c> it</c><00:21:15.440><c> was</c><00:21:16.599><c> happening,</c><00:21:17.240><c> that</c><00:21:17.460><c> invitation</c><00:21:17.940><c> was</c><00:21:18.200><c> happening</c>

00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:31.420
Well,<00:21:27.279><c> we</c><00:21:28.019><c> read</c><00:21:28.279><c> that</c><00:21:29.140><c> when</c><00:21:29.819><c> this</c><00:21:30.420><c> happened,</c>

00:21:33.420 --> 00:21:35.539
because<00:21:33.940><c> of</c><00:21:34.200><c> the</c><00:21:34.420><c> lightning</c><00:21:34.819><c> and</c><00:21:35.079><c> the</c><00:21:35.299><c> thunder</c>

00:21:35.539 --> 00:21:43.140

and<00:21:46.180><c> then</c><00:21:46.420><c> the</c><00:21:46.680><c> sound</c><00:21:46.900><c> of</c><00:21:47.059><c> the</c><00:21:47.240><c> trumpet</c><00:21:47.440><c> grew</c><00:21:47.700><c> louder</c><00:21:48.140><c> and</c><00:21:48.460><c> louder.</c>

00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.720
And<00:21:49.240><c> then</c><00:21:50.279><c> Moses</c><00:21:50.579><c> spoke</c><00:21:50.980><c> and</c><00:21:51.160><c> the</c><00:21:51.319><c> voice</c><00:21:51.539><c> of</c><00:21:51.700><c> God</c><00:21:51.960><c> answered</c><00:21:52.359><c> him</c>

00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:55.640

00:22:12.059 --> 00:22:15.359
So<00:22:12.579><c> at</c><00:22:13.099><c> first,</c><00:22:13.380><c> God</c><00:22:13.619><c> was</c><00:22:14.160><c> inviting</c><00:22:14.619><c> them</c><00:22:14.880><c> to</c><00:22:15.140><c> come.</c>

And<00:22:17.700><c> then</c><00:22:18.059><c> Moses</c><00:22:18.500><c> went</c><00:22:18.759><c> up.</c>

00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:22.720
The<00:22:21.000><c> interpretation</c><00:22:21.519><c> that</c><00:22:21.779><c> comes</c><00:22:21.980><c> when</c><00:22:22.140><c> you</c><00:22:22.319><c> consider</c>

00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:25.440
that<00:22:22.900><c> it's</c><00:22:23.319><c> go</c><00:22:23.539><c> up</c><00:22:23.859><c> onto</c><00:22:24.140><c> the</c><00:22:24.359><c> mountain</c><00:22:24.519><c> in</c><00:22:24.700><c> verse</c><00:22:24.859><c> 13</c>

00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:27.680
would<00:22:25.819><c> be</c><00:22:26.000><c> that</c><00:22:26.460><c> the</c><00:22:26.859><c> intention</c><00:22:27.220><c> God</c><00:22:27.460><c> had</c>

00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:32.200
was<00:22:28.140><c> to</c><00:22:29.380><c> draw</c><00:22:29.960><c> all</c><00:22:30.440><c> of</c><00:22:30.759><c> his</c><00:22:30.960><c> people</c><00:22:31.380><c> near</c><00:22:31.660><c> to</c><00:22:31.859><c> him.</c>

00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.599
But<00:22:33.180><c> fear</c><00:22:34.099><c> prevented</c><00:22:34.819><c> them.</c>

00:22:35.900 --> 00:22:40.359
And<00:22:36.099><c> Moses</c><00:22:36.619><c> went</c><00:22:37.019><c> up</c><00:22:37.400><c> as</c><00:22:37.700><c> the</c><00:22:37.920><c> intercessor</c><00:22:38.599><c> instead.</c>

00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:47.660
Out<00:22:42.319><c> of</c><00:22:42.599><c> fear,</c><00:22:44.480><c> people</c><00:22:45.059><c> were</c><00:22:46.519><c> prevented</c>

00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:53.599
or<00:22:51.000><c> just</c><00:22:51.480><c> missed</c><00:22:51.740><c> out</c><00:22:52.059><c> on</c><00:22:52.220><c> the</c><00:22:52.400><c> opportunity</c>

00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:55.460
to<00:22:53.920><c> fellowship</c><00:22:54.440><c> with</c><00:22:55.140><c> God.</c>

00:22:55.619 --> 00:22:59.059
And<00:22:55.619><c> that,</c><00:22:56.920><c> interestingly</c><00:22:57.140><c> enough,</c><00:22:57.819><c> parallels</c><00:22:58.140><c> another</c><00:22:58.619><c> time</c>

00:22:59.059 --> 00:23:06.500
when<00:22:59.279><c> the</c><00:22:59.619><c> sound,</c><00:23:01.359><c> a</c><00:23:01.920><c> sound</c><00:23:02.480><c> represented</c><00:23:04.339><c> God's</c><00:23:05.400><c> presence</c>

00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:10.680
and<00:23:07.099><c> the</c><00:23:07.299><c> people</c><00:23:07.539><c> feared</c><00:23:08.099><c> back</c><00:23:09.539><c> in</c><00:23:09.819><c> Eden.</c>

00:23:11.059 --> 00:23:15.480
The<00:23:11.339><c> fear</c><00:23:11.460><c> in</c><00:23:11.640><c> the</c><00:23:11.839><c> garden</c><00:23:12.299><c> when</c><00:23:13.839><c> the</c><00:23:14.200><c> voice</c><00:23:14.660><c> of</c><00:23:15.160><c> the</c><00:23:15.319><c> Lord</c>

00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:17.920
was<00:23:15.759><c> walking</c><00:23:16.160><c> in</c><00:23:16.380><c> the</c><00:23:16.460><c> midst</c><00:23:16.599><c> of</c><00:23:16.759><c> the</c><00:23:16.920><c> garden,</c>

00:23:18.180 --> 00:23:21.839
Adam<00:23:18.420><c> and</c><00:23:18.539><c> Eve</c><00:23:18.660><c> hid</c><00:23:18.940><c> themselves</c><00:23:20.099><c> out</c><00:23:20.700><c> of</c><00:23:20.960><c> fear.</c>

00:23:22.099 --> 00:23:26.359
Our<00:23:22.420><c> fear</c><00:23:23.500><c> keeps</c><00:23:24.160><c> us</c><00:23:24.960><c> from</c><00:23:25.259><c> drawing</c><00:23:25.559><c> near</c><00:23:25.859><c> to</c><00:23:26.099><c> God</c>

00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.339
when<00:23:26.579><c> God</c><00:23:26.920><c> wants</c><00:23:27.259><c> us</c><00:23:27.960><c> to</c><00:23:28.380><c> come</c><00:23:28.559><c> near</c><00:23:28.799><c> to</c><00:23:29.039><c> him.</c>

00:23:30.700 --> 00:23:35.059
Fear<00:23:31.039><c> prevents</c><00:23:31.720><c> our</c><00:23:32.900><c> fellowship</c><00:23:33.480><c> with</c><00:23:34.099><c> God.</c>

00:23:35.859 --> 00:23:39.640
As<00:23:36.460><c> a</c><00:23:36.660><c> result</c><00:23:36.859><c> of</c><00:23:37.079><c> that</c><00:23:37.440><c> fear,</c><00:23:38.700><c> we</c><00:23:39.160><c> hesitate,</c>

00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:45.000
we<00:23:39.960><c> wait</c><00:23:40.460><c> when</c><00:23:41.599><c> God</c><00:23:42.259><c> wishes</c><00:23:42.859><c> us</c><00:23:43.339><c> to</c><00:23:43.660><c> come</c><00:23:43.819><c> near</c><00:23:44.019><c> to</c><00:23:44.240><c> him.</c>

00:23:47.180 --> 00:23:49.640
Now,<00:23:47.980><c> think</c><00:23:48.240><c> about</c><00:23:48.559><c> this.</c>

00:23:49.980 --> 00:23:52.099
If<00:23:50.140><c> here</c><00:23:50.700><c> at</c><00:23:51.200><c> Sinai,</c><00:23:51.539><c> if</c><00:23:51.700><c> the</c><00:23:51.880><c> people,</c>

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:54.579
if<00:23:52.400><c> that</c><00:23:52.720><c> was</c><00:23:52.940><c> God's</c><00:23:53.359><c> intention</c><00:23:53.839><c> for</c><00:23:54.119><c> the</c><00:23:54.380><c> people</c>

00:23:54.579 --> 00:23:56.880
to<00:23:54.819><c> come</c><00:23:54.960><c> up</c><00:23:55.160><c> at</c><00:23:55.299><c> the</c><00:23:55.500><c> shofar</c><00:23:55.819><c> blast,</c>

00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:00.000
but<00:23:57.279><c> yet</c><00:23:57.480><c> they,</c><00:23:58.000><c> out</c><00:23:58.140><c> of</c><00:23:58.359><c> fear,</c><00:23:58.720><c> held</c><00:23:58.819><c> back,</c>

00:24:00.420 --> 00:24:04.359
Moses<00:24:00.920><c> went</c><00:24:01.259><c> up,</c><00:24:02.000><c> they</c><00:24:02.339><c> waited</c><00:24:02.619><c> at</c><00:24:02.859><c> the</c><00:24:03.039><c> base</c><00:24:03.279><c> of</c><00:24:03.440><c> the</c><00:24:03.579><c> mountain.</c>

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:11.220
What<00:24:05.939><c> happened</c><00:24:06.599><c> while</c><00:24:07.400><c> they</c><00:24:07.700><c> waited</c><00:24:08.099><c> and</c><00:24:09.079><c> waited</c><00:24:09.480><c> and</c><00:24:10.339><c> waited?</c>

00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:16.660
Eventually,<00:24:13.319><c> they</c><00:24:13.519><c> got</c><00:24:13.740><c> impatient</c><00:24:14.779><c> and</c><00:24:15.880><c> fearful,</c>

00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:20.859
fearful<00:24:17.420><c> that</c><00:24:18.200><c> something</c><00:24:18.500><c> had</c><00:24:18.779><c> happened</c><00:24:19.000><c> to</c><00:24:19.200><c> Moses,</c><00:24:19.920><c> perhaps.</c>

00:24:22.280 --> 00:24:24.980
And<00:24:22.880><c> they</c><00:24:23.119><c> said</c><00:24:23.440><c> to</c><00:24:23.980><c> Aaron,</c>

00:24:25.019 --> 00:24:28.740
why<00:24:25.319><c> don't</c><00:24:25.359><c> you</c><00:24:25.539><c> build</c><00:24:25.940><c> some</c><00:24:26.440><c> golden</c><00:24:26.759><c> calves</c><00:24:27.059><c> for</c><00:24:27.299><c> us</c>

00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:30.460
so<00:24:28.980><c> we</c><00:24:29.059><c> can</c><00:24:29.240><c> worship</c><00:24:29.539><c> God?</c>

00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:34.880
They<00:24:32.200><c> should</c><00:24:32.579><c> have</c><00:24:32.740><c> been</c><00:24:33.099><c> in</c><00:24:33.920><c> fellowship</c><00:24:34.339><c> with</c><00:24:34.660><c> God,</c>

00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:36.640
they<00:24:35.039><c> should</c><00:24:35.240><c> have</c><00:24:35.380><c> been</c><00:24:35.619><c> drawing</c><00:24:35.920><c> near</c><00:24:36.160><c> to</c><00:24:36.339><c> God,</c>

00:24:36.700 --> 00:24:39.039
but<00:24:36.839><c> instead</c><00:24:37.220><c> their</c><00:24:37.559><c> fear</c><00:24:38.140><c> held</c><00:24:38.720><c> them</c><00:24:38.920><c> back</c>

00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:41.200
and<00:24:39.200><c> that's</c><00:24:39.559><c> what</c><00:24:39.700><c> got</c><00:24:39.880><c> them</c><00:24:40.039><c> into</c><00:24:40.279><c> trouble.</c>

00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:43.799
That's<00:24:41.880><c> what</c><00:24:42.079><c> led</c><00:24:42.279><c> them</c><00:24:42.480><c> into</c><00:24:42.759><c> sin.</c>

00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:52.200
So,<00:24:47.859><c> back</c><00:24:48.519><c> to</c><00:24:48.680><c> that</c><00:24:48.900><c> midrash</c><00:24:49.359><c> of</c><00:24:50.500><c> confusing</c><00:24:51.099><c> the</c><00:24:51.440><c> Satan.</c>

00:24:53.740 --> 00:24:56.259
If<00:24:54.000><c> the</c><00:24:55.059><c> way</c><00:24:55.240><c> that</c><00:24:55.339><c> it</c><00:24:55.460><c> was</c><00:24:55.660><c> explained</c><00:24:55.940><c> to</c><00:24:56.099><c> me</c>

00:24:56.259 --> 00:24:59.460
was<00:24:56.500><c> that</c><00:24:57.880><c> what</c><00:24:58.319><c> that</c><00:24:58.579><c> was</c><00:24:58.779><c> to</c><00:24:59.119><c> teach</c>

00:24:59.460 --> 00:25:05.079
was<00:24:59.880><c> that</c><00:25:00.980><c> the</c><00:25:01.740><c> trumpet</c><00:25:02.220><c> was</c><00:25:02.700><c> the</c><00:25:02.960><c> call</c><00:25:03.160><c> to</c><00:25:03.420><c> draw</c><00:25:03.619><c> near</c><00:25:03.880><c> to</c><00:25:04.119><c> God</c>

00:25:05.420 --> 00:25:10.519
and<00:25:05.759><c> to</c><00:25:06.119><c> change</c><00:25:06.460><c> and</c><00:25:06.740><c> confuse</c><00:25:07.480><c> the</c><00:25:09.259><c> fear</c>

00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:14.460
and<00:25:11.480><c> instead,</c><00:25:12.880><c> which</c><00:25:13.579><c> naturally</c><00:25:13.940><c> causes</c><00:25:14.200><c> us</c>

00:25:14.460 --> 00:25:17.700
to<00:25:14.680><c> shrink</c><00:25:14.920><c> back</c><00:25:15.720><c> and</c><00:25:16.440><c> to</c><00:25:16.720><c> hide,</c>

00:25:18.259 --> 00:25:21.140
it<00:25:18.559><c> was</c><00:25:18.779><c> to</c><00:25:19.119><c> change</c><00:25:19.740><c> when</c><00:25:20.259><c> we</c><00:25:20.660><c> recognize</c>

00:25:21.140 --> 00:25:25.099
that<00:25:21.319><c> this</c><00:25:21.559><c> is</c><00:25:21.759><c> God's</c><00:25:22.359><c> compassionate</c><00:25:22.980><c> response</c><00:25:23.660><c> of</c><00:25:24.000><c> love.</c>

00:25:26.340 --> 00:25:29.140
It<00:25:26.680><c> would</c><00:25:26.960><c> cause</c><00:25:27.140><c> us</c><00:25:27.539><c> to</c><00:25:27.940><c> want</c><00:25:28.160><c> to</c><00:25:28.460><c> draw</c><00:25:28.680><c> near,</c>

00:25:49.619 --> 00:25:52.359
That<00:25:49.960><c> would</c><00:25:50.140><c> lead</c><00:25:50.319><c> to</c><00:25:50.680><c> awe</c><00:25:51.099><c> and</c><00:25:51.940><c> wonder</c>

would<00:25:58.359><c> be</c><00:25:59.180><c> just</c><00:26:00.000><c> an</c><00:26:00.299><c> amazing</c><00:26:00.740><c> sight</c>

00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:04.579
when<00:26:02.980><c> we</c><00:26:03.460><c> have</c><00:26:03.740><c> the</c><00:26:04.000><c> perspective</c>

00:26:04.579 --> 00:26:09.079

00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:13.700
It's<00:26:11.319><c> interesting</c><00:26:11.660><c> that</c><00:26:12.240><c> in</c><00:26:12.799><c> Hebrew,</c>

00:26:14.220 --> 00:26:18.019

00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:22.160
It's<00:26:20.019><c> a</c><00:26:20.059><c> bit</c><00:26:20.200><c> of</c><00:26:20.420><c> a</c><00:26:20.640><c> confusion.</c>

00:26:23.220 --> 00:26:32.059
Well,<00:26:23.740><c> look</c><00:26:23.740><c> at</c><00:26:25.200><c> Exodus</c><00:26:25.519><c> 20,</c><00:26:26.819><c> turn</c><00:26:26.980><c> the</c><00:26:27.180><c> page</c><00:26:27.980><c> in</c><00:26:29.140><c> verse</c><00:26:30.259><c> 18.</c>

00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:34.619
It<00:26:32.839><c> says,</c><00:26:33.099><c> when</c><00:26:33.200><c> the</c><00:26:33.420><c> people</c><00:26:33.640><c> saw</c><00:26:34.039><c> the</c><00:26:34.299><c> thunder</c>

00:26:36.099 --> 00:26:39.960

00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:42.700
They<00:26:40.779><c> stayed</c><00:26:41.119><c> at</c><00:26:41.440><c> a</c><00:26:41.579><c> distance</c><00:26:41.940><c> and</c><00:26:42.140><c> said</c><00:26:42.259><c> to</c><00:26:42.460><c> Moses,</c>

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:45.099

00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:47.940
but<00:26:45.519><c> do</c><00:26:45.720><c> not</c><00:26:45.839><c> have</c><00:26:46.019><c> God</c><00:26:46.319><c> speak</c><00:26:46.579><c> to</c><00:26:46.799><c> us</c><00:26:47.019><c> or</c><00:26:47.140><c> we</c><00:26:47.319><c> will</c><00:26:47.579><c> die.</c>

00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:52.740
Even<00:26:48.720><c> his</c><00:26:49.059><c> voice,</c><00:26:49.779><c> they</c><00:26:50.160><c> were</c><00:26:50.339><c> afraid,</c><00:26:51.420><c> would</c><00:26:51.599><c> kill</c><00:26:51.839><c> them.</c>

00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:57.519
In<00:26:54.019><c> verse</c><00:26:54.200><c> 20,</c><00:26:55.279><c> Moses</c><00:26:55.700><c> said</c><00:26:56.000><c> to</c><00:26:56.200><c> the</c><00:26:56.359><c> people,</c>

00:26:58.319 --> 00:27:00.880
do<00:26:58.799><c> not</c><00:26:59.279><c> be</c><00:26:59.900><c> afraid.</c>

00:27:01.900 --> 00:27:08.359
God<00:27:02.460><c> has</c><00:27:02.759><c> come</c><00:27:02.980><c> to</c><00:27:03.319><c> test</c><00:27:03.660><c> you</c><00:27:04.680><c> so</c><00:27:05.319><c> that</c><00:27:05.579><c> the</c><00:27:06.099><c> fear</c><00:27:06.779><c> of</c><00:27:07.920><c> God</c>

00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:11.799
will<00:27:08.579><c> be</c><00:27:08.839><c> with</c><00:27:09.160><c> you</c><00:27:09.839><c> to</c><00:27:10.180><c> keep</c><00:27:10.359><c> you</c><00:27:10.559><c> from</c><00:27:10.779><c> sinning.</c>

00:27:12.779 --> 00:27:14.440
Now,<00:27:13.019><c> wait</c><00:27:13.119><c> a</c><00:27:13.279><c> second,</c><00:27:13.640><c> Moses,</c><00:27:13.940><c> which</c><00:27:14.160><c> is</c><00:27:14.339><c> it?</c>

00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.200
Do<00:27:14.640><c> not</c><00:27:14.880><c> fear</c><00:27:15.500><c> or</c><00:27:16.200><c> God</c><00:27:16.680><c> is</c><00:27:17.680><c> testing</c><00:27:17.960><c> us</c>

00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:21.099
so<00:27:18.339><c> that</c><00:27:18.559><c> the</c><00:27:18.900><c> fear</c><00:27:19.119><c> of</c><00:27:19.319><c> God</c><00:27:19.539><c> will</c><00:27:19.720><c> be</c><00:27:19.900><c> with</c><00:27:20.099><c> us?</c>

00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:24.180
That<00:27:22.599><c> sounds</c><00:27:22.799><c> like</c><00:27:23.019><c> a</c><00:27:23.259><c> contradiction.</c>

00:27:25.600 --> 00:27:29.160
But<00:27:26.160><c> when</c><00:27:26.720><c> we</c><00:27:27.059><c> recognize</c><00:27:27.519><c> that</c><00:27:27.720><c> it's</c><00:27:28.019><c> the</c><00:27:28.299><c> two</c><00:27:28.720><c> meanings</c>

00:27:36.080 --> 00:27:44.859
as<00:27:36.640><c> in</c><00:27:37.619><c> be</c><00:27:38.779><c> afraid</c><00:27:39.299><c> that</c><00:27:39.779><c> God</c><00:27:40.380><c> is</c><00:27:42.000><c> there</c><00:27:42.460><c> to</c><00:27:43.140><c> kill</c><00:27:43.819><c> them,</c>

00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:49.279
that<00:27:45.160><c> God</c><00:27:45.299><c> is</c><00:27:45.599><c> there</c><00:27:46.039><c> in</c><00:27:47.259><c> angry</c><00:27:48.079><c> wrath,</c>

00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:56.740
but<00:27:49.980><c> they</c><00:27:50.359><c> were</c><00:27:50.660><c> instead</c><00:27:51.700><c> to</c><00:27:53.519><c> be</c><00:27:54.559><c> in</c><00:27:55.400><c> awe</c><00:27:55.940><c> of</c><00:27:56.359><c> God,</c>

00:27:56.740 --> 00:27:59.940
of<00:27:57.000><c> who</c><00:27:57.279><c> he</c><00:27:57.460><c> is</c><00:27:58.000><c> and</c><00:27:58.200><c> his</c><00:27:58.440><c> love</c><00:27:58.640><c> for</c><00:27:58.839><c> them.</c>

00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.700
So<00:28:03.500><c> the</c><00:28:03.799><c> sound</c><00:28:04.059><c> of</c><00:28:04.200><c> the</c><00:28:04.380><c> trumpet</c><00:28:04.579><c> was</c><00:28:04.799><c> to</c><00:28:05.140><c> draw</c><00:28:05.339><c> them</c><00:28:05.759><c> near</c><00:28:06.099><c> to</c><00:28:06.380><c> God,</c>

00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:29.160
So<00:28:24.799><c> another</c><00:28:25.559><c> aspect</c><00:28:26.099><c> of</c><00:28:26.720><c> Rosh</c><00:28:27.019><c> Hashanah</c><00:28:27.640><c> is</c><00:28:28.039><c> that</c>
