00:11:55.419 --> 00:11:56.159
I'm<00:11:55.759><c> concerned,</c>

00:15:25.659 --> 00:15:28.539
It<00:15:26.399><c> really,</c><00:15:26.679><c> in</c><00:15:26.799><c> my</c><00:15:27.019><c> opinion,</c><00:15:27.299><c> is</c><00:15:27.500><c> typical</c><00:15:27.840><c> of</c><00:15:27.980><c> the</c><00:15:28.200><c> entire</c>

I<00:15:48.240><c> don't</c><00:15:48.379><c> know</c><00:15:48.480><c> that</c><00:15:48.580><c> we'll</c><00:15:48.759><c> get</c><00:15:48.899><c> that</c><00:15:49.200><c> far,</c><00:15:49.580><c> but</c><00:15:50.559><c> that</c><00:15:51.299><c> really,</c><00:15:51.940><c> in</c><00:15:52.080><c> my</c>

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.480
Again,<00:16:07.600><c> just</c><00:16:07.820><c> to</c><00:16:08.000><c> set</c><00:16:08.139><c> this</c><00:16:08.340><c> up</c><00:16:08.440><c> a</c><00:16:08.679><c> different</c><00:16:08.840><c> way,</c><00:16:10.139><c> and</c><00:16:10.320><c> what</c>

00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:13.980

00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:23.279
It's<00:16:19.039><c> very</c><00:16:19.299><c> difficult</c><00:16:19.720><c> to</c><00:16:20.059><c> establish</c><00:16:20.379><c> the</c><00:16:20.659><c> precise</c><00:16:21.200><c> and</c><00:16:21.679><c> accurate</c><00:16:22.279><c> time</c><00:16:22.779><c> period.</c>

00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:45.860

00:26:49.619 --> 00:26:53.920
For<00:26:49.619><c> unto</c><00:26:49.960><c> us</c><00:26:50.500><c> was</c><00:26:50.740><c> the</c><00:26:50.980><c> gospel</c><00:26:51.380><c> preached,</c><00:26:51.980><c> as</c><00:26:52.319><c> well</c><00:26:52.519><c> as</c><00:26:52.680><c> unto</c><00:26:52.859><c> them.</c>

Yahweh<00:32:11.220><c> loved</c><00:32:11.779><c> you.</c>

00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:16.119
And<00:32:13.380><c> because</c><00:32:13.700><c> He</c><00:32:13.859><c> would</c><00:32:14.180><c> keep</c><00:32:14.579><c> the</c><00:32:14.980><c> oath</c><00:32:15.240><c> which</c><00:32:15.460><c> He</c><00:32:15.559><c> had</c><00:32:15.819><c> sworn</c>

00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:17.900
unto<00:32:16.299><c> your</c><00:32:16.559><c> fathers.</c>

00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:21.039
It's<00:32:19.099><c> marvelous,</c><00:32:19.720><c> brethren</c><00:32:19.859><c> and</c><00:32:20.019><c> sisters.</c>

00:32:21.180 --> 00:32:26.599
If<00:32:21.299><c> we</c><00:32:21.440><c> could</c><00:32:21.740><c> blend</c><00:32:22.559><c> our</c><00:32:23.380><c> hearts</c><00:32:23.759><c> and</c><00:32:23.960><c> our</c><00:32:24.240><c> minds</c><00:32:24.559><c> with</c><00:32:24.779><c> this</c><00:32:25.339><c> perspective,</c>

00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:31.059
we're<00:32:27.799><c> not</c><00:32:27.960><c> chosen</c><00:32:28.420><c> because</c><00:32:28.700><c> of</c><00:32:28.859><c> any</c><00:32:29.700><c> self</c><00:32:29.960><c>-importance</c><00:32:30.660><c> or</c>

00:32:31.059 --> 00:32:33.299
self<00:32:31.900><c>-value</c><00:32:32.579><c> that</c><00:32:32.839><c> God</c><00:32:33.140><c> says,</c>

00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:37.220
oh,<00:32:33.460><c> there's</c><00:32:34.180><c> one</c><00:32:34.359><c> that's</c><00:32:34.599><c> really</c><00:32:34.839><c> valuable</c><00:32:35.279><c> to</c><00:32:35.519><c> me,</c><00:32:36.859><c> because</c>

00:32:37.220 --> 00:32:39.099
He<00:32:37.359><c> loves</c><00:32:37.640><c> us.</c>

00:32:39.740 --> 00:32:43.799
He's<00:32:40.259><c> reached</c><00:32:40.480><c> out</c><00:32:40.700><c> and</c><00:32:40.839><c> just</c><00:32:41.099><c> touched</c><00:32:41.339><c> our</c><00:32:41.640><c> lives</c><00:32:41.859><c> and</c><00:32:42.119><c> called</c><00:32:42.420><c> us</c><00:32:42.960><c> according</c><00:32:43.519><c> to</c>

00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:45.359
His<00:32:44.059><c> purpose.</c>

00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:47.779
So<00:32:45.660><c> there's</c><00:32:45.819><c> a</c><00:32:45.980><c> purpose</c><00:32:46.220><c> for</c><00:32:46.400><c> us</c><00:32:46.559><c> in</c><00:32:46.680><c> the</c><00:32:46.880><c> truth,</c><00:32:47.380><c> as</c><00:32:47.599><c> there</c>

00:32:47.779 --> 00:32:49.099
was<00:32:47.940><c> for</c><00:32:48.240><c> Israel.</c>

00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:56.960
Now<00:32:53.059><c> maybe</c><00:32:53.180><c> we</c><00:32:53.500><c> just</c><00:32:54.779><c> don't</c><00:32:55.359><c> like</c><00:32:55.660><c> the</c><00:32:55.960><c> thought</c><00:32:56.079><c> of</c><00:32:56.200><c> what</c><00:32:56.339><c> Israel</c><00:32:56.700><c> had</c>

00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:57.819
to<00:32:57.220><c> do.</c>

00:32:58.240 --> 00:33:01.819
Maybe<00:32:58.380><c> it's</c><00:32:58.619><c> against</c><00:32:58.920><c> our</c><00:32:59.259><c> very</c><00:33:00.259><c> personalities</c><00:33:01.059><c> and</c><00:33:01.480><c> the</c><00:33:01.660><c> way</c>

00:33:01.819 --> 00:33:03.900
that<00:33:02.079><c> our</c><00:33:02.940><c> mindset</c><00:33:03.460><c> is,</c>

00:33:03.900 --> 00:33:07.460
that<00:33:04.059><c> they</c><00:33:04.180><c> were</c><00:33:04.299><c> to</c><00:33:04.480><c> go</c><00:33:04.660><c> in</c><00:33:05.019><c> and</c><00:33:05.720><c> utterly</c><00:33:06.039><c> destroy.</c>

00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:11.460
There's<00:33:09.279><c> an</c><00:33:09.420><c> expression</c><00:33:09.819><c> that's</c><00:33:10.140><c> used</c><00:33:10.359><c> in</c><00:33:10.579><c> the</c><00:33:10.880><c> psychology</c>

00:33:11.460 --> 00:33:13.799
of<00:33:11.660><c> this</c><00:33:11.940><c> world,</c><00:33:12.259><c> and</c><00:33:12.359><c> it's</c><00:33:12.599><c> called</c><00:33:12.759><c> denial.</c>

00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:15.819
I<00:33:14.940><c> think</c><00:33:15.039><c> it's</c><00:33:15.279><c> Christadelphian.</c>

00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:19.259
Sometimes<00:33:16.319><c> we</c><00:33:17.440><c> just</c><00:33:17.660><c> incorporate</c><00:33:18.180><c> that</c><00:33:18.460><c> into</c><00:33:18.619><c> our</c><00:33:18.839><c> own</c><00:33:19.059><c> thinking.</c>

00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:21.220
If<00:33:19.420><c> there's</c><00:33:19.619><c> something</c><00:33:19.839><c> that</c><00:33:20.000><c> we</c><00:33:20.099><c> don't</c><00:33:20.279><c> care</c><00:33:20.539><c> for</c><00:33:20.720><c> very</c><00:33:21.000><c> much,</c>

00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:24.960
we<00:33:21.579><c> just</c><00:33:21.799><c> enter</c><00:33:21.960><c> into</c><00:33:22.200><c> this</c><00:33:23.019><c> realm</c><00:33:23.339><c> of</c><00:33:23.680><c> denial</c><00:33:24.079><c> and</c><00:33:24.519><c> just</c><00:33:24.819><c> lay</c>

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:26.440
it<00:33:25.180><c> aside.</c>

00:33:27.099 --> 00:33:30.039
We<00:33:27.279><c> don't</c><00:33:27.279><c> physically</c><00:33:27.619><c> or</c><00:33:28.460><c> verbally</c><00:33:28.980><c> speak</c><00:33:29.380><c> against</c><00:33:29.819><c> it.</c>

00:33:30.500 --> 00:33:32.900
We<00:33:30.720><c> act</c><00:33:30.900><c> as</c><00:33:31.059><c> though</c><00:33:31.160><c> it</c><00:33:31.259><c> isn't</c><00:33:31.539><c> there,</c><00:33:31.779><c> like</c><00:33:31.920><c> it</c><00:33:32.059><c> doesn't</c><00:33:32.299><c> exist.</c>

00:33:32.900 --> 00:33:36.819
It's<00:33:33.359><c> part</c><00:33:33.680><c> of</c><00:33:34.259><c> God's</c><00:33:34.859><c> word,</c><00:33:35.180><c> because</c><00:33:35.279><c> it</c><00:33:36.079><c> just</c><00:33:36.299><c> kind</c><00:33:36.299><c> of</c><00:33:36.460><c> just</c>

00:33:36.819 --> 00:33:38.759
grates<00:33:37.119><c> against</c><00:33:37.539><c> our</c><00:33:38.059><c> personality</c>

00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:40.980
and<00:33:38.920><c> our</c><00:33:39.160><c> perspective</c><00:33:39.640><c> of</c><00:33:39.920><c> things</c><00:33:40.279><c> and</c><00:33:40.539><c> the</c><00:33:40.619><c> way</c><00:33:40.680><c> they</c><00:33:40.859><c> should</c>

00:33:40.980 --> 00:33:42.339
be<00:33:41.240><c> done.</c>

00:33:44.220 --> 00:33:45.539
Maybe<00:33:44.380><c> we</c><00:33:44.519><c> should</c><00:33:44.599><c> think</c><00:33:44.799><c> of</c><00:33:44.880><c> it</c><00:33:45.019><c> another</c><00:33:45.200><c> way.</c>

00:33:45.660 --> 00:33:50.519
Instead<00:33:45.839><c> of</c><00:33:46.019><c> going</c><00:33:46.279><c> in</c><00:33:46.680><c> and</c><00:33:47.980><c> God's</c><00:33:48.859><c> people</c><00:33:49.180><c> exterminating</c><00:33:50.220><c> a</c>

00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:52.079
people<00:33:50.759><c> that</c><00:33:51.119><c> existed</c><00:33:51.400><c> in</c><00:33:51.579><c> the</c><00:33:51.799><c> land,</c>

00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:55.619
think<00:33:52.519><c> of</c><00:33:52.680><c> it</c><00:33:52.799><c> as</c><00:33:53.119><c> the</c><00:33:53.740><c> extermination</c><00:33:54.359><c> of</c><00:33:54.740><c> sin.</c>

00:33:57.099 --> 00:33:59.440
And<00:33:57.359><c> when</c><00:33:57.440><c> we</c><00:33:57.599><c> think</c><00:33:57.700><c> of</c><00:33:57.819><c> it</c><00:33:57.920><c> this</c><00:33:58.160><c> way,</c><00:33:58.519><c> brethren</c><00:33:58.640><c> and</c><00:33:58.839><c> sisters,</c>

00:33:59.920 --> 00:34:03.099
perhaps<00:34:00.359><c> we</c><00:34:00.460><c> can</c><00:34:00.680><c> bring</c><00:34:00.880><c> it</c><00:34:01.000><c> into</c><00:34:01.160><c> our</c><00:34:01.380><c> own</c><00:34:01.619><c> experience.</c>

00:34:04.380 --> 00:34:06.980
Because<00:34:04.500><c> in</c><00:34:04.819><c> essence,</c><00:34:05.140><c> this</c><00:34:05.259><c> is</c><00:34:05.440><c> what</c><00:34:05.619><c> we</c><00:34:05.920><c> do</c><00:34:06.059><c> when</c><00:34:06.200><c> we</c><00:34:06.319><c> go</c><00:34:06.440><c> down</c><00:34:06.640><c> into</c><00:34:06.819><c> the</c>

00:34:09.940 --> 00:34:16.280
The<00:34:10.059><c> old</c><00:34:10.400><c> man</c><00:34:11.099><c> is</c><00:34:11.699><c> crucified,</c><00:34:13.460><c> killed,</c><00:34:15.420><c> dead</c><00:34:15.539><c> and</c><00:34:15.880><c> buried</c><00:34:16.099><c> in</c>

Extermination<00:34:23.619><c> of</c><00:34:23.880><c> sin.</c>

00:34:25.179 --> 00:34:26.980
And<00:34:25.380><c> this</c><00:34:25.500><c> is</c><00:34:25.599><c> what</c><00:34:25.639><c> we're</c><00:34:25.800><c> reading</c><00:34:26.039><c> about</c><00:34:26.340><c> in</c><00:34:26.500><c> Deuteronomy,</c>

00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:31.639
the<00:34:29.780><c> way</c><00:34:29.900><c> they</c><00:34:30.019><c> had</c><00:34:30.179><c> to</c><00:34:30.480><c> think.</c>

00:34:32.619 --> 00:34:35.579
They're<00:34:32.840><c> upholding</c><00:34:33.219><c> God's</c><00:34:33.800><c> standards,</c><00:34:34.239><c> brethren</c><00:34:34.360><c> and</c><00:34:34.519><c> sisters.</c>

00:34:36.940 --> 00:34:39.059
When<00:34:37.039><c> you</c><00:34:37.239><c> uphold</c><00:34:37.579><c> God's</c><00:34:38.199><c> standards,</c><00:34:38.480><c> it</c><00:34:38.539><c> means</c><00:34:38.760><c> that</c><00:34:38.940><c> there</c>

00:34:43.260 --> 00:34:45.000
