00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:28.120
Today's<00:00:24.899><c> title</c><00:00:25.160><c> is,</c><00:00:25.820><c> The</c><00:00:26.000><c> Word</c><00:00:26.420><c> Became</c><00:00:26.899><c> Flesh.</c>

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:36.939
Good<00:00:35.439><c> morning</c><00:00:35.679><c> everyone.</c>

00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.240
You're<00:00:38.039><c> sounding</c><00:00:38.359><c> pretty</c><00:00:38.679><c> good</c><00:00:38.859><c> for</c><00:00:39.159><c> halfway</c><00:00:39.439><c> through</c><00:00:39.799><c> the</c><00:00:39.960><c> week,</c><00:00:40.219><c> I</c>

00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:40.979
have<00:00:40.420><c> to</c><00:00:40.619><c> say.</c>

00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:44.060
But<00:00:41.759><c> progressively</c><00:00:42.140><c> we</c><00:00:42.340><c> get</c><00:00:42.520><c> more</c><00:00:42.820><c> and</c><00:00:42.820><c> more</c><00:00:43.119><c> tired,</c><00:00:43.479><c> don't</c><00:00:43.759><c> we?</c>

00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:45.899
And<00:00:44.600><c> so</c><00:00:44.740><c> did</c><00:00:44.899><c> Israel.</c>

00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.979
You<00:00:46.380><c> remember</c><00:00:46.560><c> it</c><00:00:46.659><c> had</c><00:00:46.820><c> been</c><00:00:47.039><c> a</c><00:00:47.740><c> major</c><00:00:48.280><c> job</c><00:00:48.899><c> for</c><00:00:49.479><c> the</c><00:00:49.719><c> temple</c>

00:00:49.979 --> 00:00:50.820
to<00:00:50.200><c> be</c><00:00:50.460><c> built.</c>

00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:54.960
It<00:00:51.439><c> was</c><00:00:51.640><c> a</c><00:00:51.840><c> huge</c><00:00:52.439><c> civil</c><00:00:53.119><c> engineering</c><00:00:53.820><c> project.</c>

00:00:54.979 --> 00:00:58.859
It<00:00:55.240><c> took</c><00:00:55.640><c> the</c><00:00:56.100><c> gross</c><00:00:56.399><c> national</c><00:00:56.880><c> product</c><00:00:57.280><c> of</c><00:00:57.460><c> the</c><00:00:57.579><c> country</c><00:00:58.079><c> and</c>

00:00:58.859 --> 00:01:01.259
almost<00:00:59.219><c> drained</c><00:00:59.780><c> it</c><00:01:00.380><c> dry.</c>

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.079
But<00:01:01.740><c> of</c><00:01:01.939><c> course</c><00:01:02.039><c> it</c><00:01:02.140><c> was</c><00:01:02.380><c> worthwhile</c><00:01:02.859><c> because</c><00:01:03.359><c> what</c><00:01:03.700><c> they'd</c>

00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:05.879
got<00:01:04.239><c> at</c><00:01:04.480><c> the</c><00:01:04.620><c> end</c><00:01:04.799><c> of</c><00:01:04.959><c> that</c><00:01:05.219><c> process</c>

00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:10.680
was<00:01:06.680><c> an</c><00:01:07.299><c> exceedingly</c><00:01:08.180><c> magnificent</c><00:01:09.439><c> dwelling</c><00:01:09.980><c> place</c><00:01:10.400><c> for</c>

00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.060
Almighty<00:01:11.099><c> God.</c>

00:01:12.219 --> 00:01:15.579
All<00:01:12.500><c> those</c><00:01:13.120><c> years,</c><00:01:14.480><c> all</c><00:01:14.680><c> those</c><00:01:14.980><c> funds.</c>

00:01:15.579 --> 00:01:24.120
Now<00:01:16.540><c> at</c><00:01:16.799><c> last,</c><00:01:17.659><c> they</c><00:01:17.739><c> had</c><00:01:17.980><c> a</c><00:01:18.219><c> place</c><00:01:18.519><c> of</c><00:01:19.480><c> spiritual</c><00:01:20.519><c> reminiscence,</c><00:01:22.400><c> a</c><00:01:22.560><c> hall</c><00:01:22.700><c> of</c><00:01:23.019><c> memories.</c>

00:01:24.340 --> 00:01:28.280
Consider<00:01:24.700><c> for</c><00:01:24.900><c> a</c><00:01:25.099><c> moment,</c><00:01:25.739><c> as</c><00:01:25.879><c> you</c><00:01:26.359><c> walked</c><00:01:26.760><c> into</c><00:01:27.019><c> that</c><00:01:27.340><c> place,</c>

00:01:28.579 --> 00:01:33.019
you<00:01:28.760><c> walked</c><00:01:28.879><c> between</c><00:01:29.260><c> those</c><00:01:29.959><c> twin</c><00:01:30.340><c> pillars,</c><00:01:31.340><c> Jacob</c><00:01:31.620><c> and</c><00:01:31.900><c> Boaz.</c>

00:01:33.340 --> 00:01:35.700
He<00:01:33.700><c> shall</c><00:01:33.879><c> establish</c><00:01:34.540><c> in</c><00:01:34.799><c> it</c><00:01:35.000><c> his</c><00:01:35.280><c> strength.</c>

00:01:35.780 --> 00:01:39.280
But<00:01:36.319><c> what</c><00:01:36.579><c> do</c><00:01:36.700><c> you</c><00:01:36.719><c> think</c><00:01:36.840><c> it</c><00:01:37.079><c> was</c><00:01:37.319><c> that</c><00:01:37.599><c> for</c><00:01:37.799><c> them</c><00:01:38.140><c> they</c><00:01:38.500><c> thought</c><00:01:38.819><c> about</c>

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.000
as<00:01:40.000><c> the</c><00:01:40.280><c> priests</c><00:01:40.659><c> went</c><00:01:40.959><c> into</c><00:01:41.180><c> their</c><00:01:41.459><c> privileged</c><00:01:41.959><c> place?</c>

00:01:43.099 --> 00:01:45.420
Perhaps<00:01:43.599><c> it</c><00:01:43.780><c> was</c><00:01:43.959><c> that</c><00:01:44.120><c> they</c><00:01:44.280><c> remembered</c><00:01:44.680><c> the</c><00:01:44.900><c> pillars</c><00:01:45.219><c> that</c>

00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:47.159
had<00:01:45.640><c> once</c><00:01:45.879><c> been</c><00:01:46.099><c> with</c><00:01:46.299><c> them</c><00:01:46.439><c> in</c><00:01:46.599><c> the</c><00:01:46.739><c> wilderness,</c>

00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:49.700
the<00:01:47.760><c> pillar</c><00:01:47.959><c> of</c><00:01:48.260><c> cloud</c><00:01:48.480><c> and</c><00:01:48.659><c> the</c><00:01:48.780><c> pillar</c><00:01:49.019><c> of</c><00:01:49.319><c> fire,</c>

00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.180
and<00:01:50.340><c> remembered</c><00:01:50.640><c> that</c><00:01:50.840><c> they</c><00:01:51.000><c> had</c><00:01:51.260><c> been</c><00:01:51.400><c> there</c><00:01:51.659><c> before</c><00:01:52.060><c> and</c>

00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:53.159
they<00:01:52.340><c> were</c><00:01:52.519><c> there</c><00:01:52.760><c> now.</c>

00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.280
God,<00:01:53.799><c> as</c><00:01:53.959><c> it</c><00:01:54.140><c> were,</c><00:01:54.980><c> openly</c><00:01:55.400><c> manifest</c><00:01:56.099><c> as</c><00:01:56.379><c> encamped</c><00:01:56.900><c> amongst</c>

00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:58.519
his<00:01:57.560><c> people.</c>

00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.319
Or<00:01:59.200><c> perhaps</c><00:01:59.480><c> they</c><00:01:59.760><c> thought</c><00:01:59.920><c> of</c><00:02:00.079><c> that</c><00:02:00.260><c> time</c><00:02:00.439><c> when</c><00:02:00.659><c> Moses</c><00:02:01.040><c> had</c>

00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:03.159
gone<00:02:01.439><c> between</c><00:02:01.819><c> the</c><00:02:02.140><c> cleft</c><00:02:02.439><c> of</c><00:02:02.620><c> the</c><00:02:02.799><c> rock</c>

00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:06.700
and<00:02:03.840><c> had</c><00:02:04.099><c> entered</c><00:02:04.299><c> into</c><00:02:04.620><c> that</c><00:02:05.239><c> perception</c><00:02:05.939><c> of</c><00:02:06.140><c> the</c><00:02:06.379><c> character</c>

00:02:06.700 --> 00:02:07.200
of<00:02:06.980><c> God</c>

00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.759
and<00:02:07.379><c> had</c><00:02:07.920><c> heard</c><00:02:08.139><c> the</c><00:02:08.319><c> name</c><00:02:08.520><c> of</c><00:02:08.780><c> God</c><00:02:08.919><c> being</c><00:02:09.219><c> rehearsed</c>

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:14.060
and<00:02:09.900><c> his</c><00:02:10.020><c> character</c><00:02:10.520><c> being</c><00:02:11.080><c> displayed,</c><00:02:11.639><c> the</c><00:02:11.879><c> Lord,</c><00:02:12.400><c> the</c><00:02:12.639><c> Lord</c><00:02:13.060><c> God.</c>

00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:18.340
And<00:02:14.699><c> then</c><00:02:14.960><c> inside</c><00:02:15.900><c> the</c><00:02:16.460><c> holy</c><00:02:16.819><c> place</c><00:02:17.259><c> where</c><00:02:17.620><c> once</c><00:02:17.960><c> again</c><00:02:18.240><c> they</c>

00:02:18.340 --> 00:02:19.819
were<00:02:18.539><c> in</c><00:02:18.800><c> paradise,</c>

00:02:19.900 --> 00:02:24.280
there<00:02:20.219><c> were</c><00:02:20.439><c> the</c><00:02:21.060><c> visual</c><00:02:21.800><c> reminiscences</c><00:02:22.960><c> of</c><00:02:23.539><c> the</c><00:02:23.759><c> invisible</c>

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.139
presence<00:02:24.759><c> of</c><00:02:25.000><c> the</c><00:02:25.240><c> angels.</c>

00:02:26.180 --> 00:02:30.340
They<00:02:26.300><c> were</c><00:02:26.520><c> there</c><00:02:26.879><c> back</c><00:02:27.439><c> where</c><00:02:28.319><c> they</c><00:02:28.620><c> wanted</c><00:02:28.879><c> to</c><00:02:29.240><c> be</c><00:02:29.680><c> in</c><00:02:30.120><c> touch</c>

00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:31.539
with<00:02:30.620><c> God.</c>

00:02:32.419 --> 00:02:36.979
So<00:02:32.719><c> for</c><00:02:32.939><c> the</c><00:02:33.280><c> perceptive</c><00:02:33.939><c> mind,</c><00:02:34.939><c> there</c><00:02:35.080><c> were</c><00:02:35.319><c> all</c><00:02:35.639><c> sorts</c><00:02:36.039><c> of</c><00:02:36.340><c> insights</c>

00:02:36.979 --> 00:02:41.900
and<00:02:37.500><c> there</c><00:02:38.180><c> was</c><00:02:39.780><c> a</c><00:02:39.840><c> huge</c><00:02:40.180><c> amount</c><00:02:40.439><c> of</c><00:02:40.699><c> understanding</c><00:02:41.280><c> there</c><00:02:41.659><c> of</c>

00:02:41.900 --> 00:02:43.439
the<00:02:42.300><c> way</c><00:02:42.740><c> of</c><00:02:43.099><c> God</c>

00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.819
that<00:02:43.960><c> had</c><00:02:44.180><c> been</c><00:02:44.460><c> kept</c><00:02:44.819><c> and</c><00:02:45.039><c> had</c><00:02:45.319><c> been</c><00:02:45.620><c> preserved.</c>

00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:50.620
But<00:02:48.560><c> to</c><00:02:48.780><c> the</c><00:02:48.919><c> less</c><00:02:49.180><c> perceptive</c><00:02:49.719><c> mind</c><00:02:49.939><c> it</c><00:02:50.060><c> was</c><00:02:50.280><c> something</c>

00:02:50.620 --> 00:02:52.120

Of<00:08:28.879><c> course</c><00:08:29.000><c> God</c><00:08:29.240><c> wanted</c><00:08:29.600><c> the</c><00:08:29.939><c> outward</c><00:08:30.639><c> things</c>

00:09:16.620 --> 00:09:20.159

00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.960
Now<00:09:24.919><c> God</c><00:09:25.179><c> saw</c><00:09:25.460><c> that</c><00:09:25.700><c> this</c><00:09:25.960><c> place</c><00:09:26.200><c> was</c><00:09:26.779><c> being</c><00:09:27.299><c> profaned</c>

00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.580
So<00:09:31.679><c> God</c><00:09:31.980><c> purposed</c><00:09:32.500><c> that</c><00:09:32.700><c> it</c><00:09:32.840><c> would</c><00:09:33.500><c> be</c><00:09:34.259><c> overturned</c>

and<00:10:22.679><c> now</c><00:10:22.879><c> it</c><00:10:23.039><c> had</c><00:10:23.279><c> withered</c><00:10:23.759><c> and</c><00:10:24.179><c> died,</c>

00:10:25.899 --> 00:10:29.220
so<00:10:26.539><c> another</c><00:10:27.120><c> circle</c><00:10:27.620><c> had</c><00:10:27.940><c> begun.</c>

00:10:29.899 --> 00:10:33.700
God<00:10:30.220><c> had</c><00:10:30.539><c> called</c><00:10:30.759><c> Abram</c><00:10:31.159><c> alone</c><00:10:31.659><c> and</c><00:10:31.860><c> he</c><00:10:32.000><c> had</c><00:10:32.179><c> made</c><00:10:32.360><c> them</c><00:10:32.720><c> many</c>

00:10:33.620 --> 00:10:36.860
and<00:10:33.940><c> now,</c><00:10:34.700><c> because</c><00:10:34.960><c> of</c><00:10:35.120><c> their</c><00:10:35.440><c> disobedience,</c>

00:10:36.940 --> 00:10:41.659
they<00:10:37.259><c> returned</c><00:10:37.960><c> back</c><00:10:39.000><c> from</c><00:10:39.440><c> whence</c><00:10:40.000><c> Abram</c><00:10:40.480><c> came.</c>

00:10:42.100 --> 00:10:45.100
God<00:10:42.399><c> took</c><00:10:42.659><c> them</c><00:10:42.860><c> back</c><00:10:43.320><c> to</c><00:10:43.539><c> the</c><00:10:43.679><c> land</c><00:10:43.879><c> of</c><00:10:44.159><c> idolatry,</c>

00:10:45.580 --> 00:10:47.799
separated<00:10:46.019><c> them</c><00:10:46.279><c> from</c><00:10:46.500><c> the</c><00:10:46.799><c> place,</c>

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.340
made<00:10:48.360><c> them</c><00:10:48.620><c> sit</c><00:10:48.840><c> by</c><00:10:49.080><c> the</c><00:10:49.299><c> waters</c><00:10:49.600><c> of</c><00:10:49.899><c> Babylon</c>

00:10:50.340 --> 00:10:53.320
where<00:10:51.399><c> they</c><00:10:51.679><c> sat</c><00:10:51.879><c> down</c><00:10:52.220><c> and</c><00:10:52.500><c> wept.</c>

00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.600
They<00:10:54.259><c> couldn't</c><00:10:54.259><c> even</c><00:10:54.539><c> bring</c><00:10:54.679><c> themselves</c><00:10:55.120><c> to</c><00:10:55.580><c> think</c><00:10:56.120><c> about</c>

00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.259
the<00:10:56.879><c> songs</c><00:10:57.179><c> of</c><00:10:57.419><c> Zion</c><00:10:57.779><c> in</c><00:10:58.240><c> a</c><00:10:58.600><c> strange</c><00:10:58.980><c> country.</c>

00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:07.259
God<00:11:00.820><c> made</c><00:11:01.100><c> them</c><00:11:01.480><c> ponder</c><00:11:02.820><c> the</c><00:11:03.320><c> desolate</c><00:11:03.779><c> land</c><00:11:04.379><c> for</c><00:11:05.600><c> 70</c><00:11:06.019><c> years.</c>

00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.100
Sometimes<00:11:08.279><c> those</c><00:11:08.519><c> things</c><00:11:08.740><c> happen</c><00:11:09.000><c> in</c><00:11:09.159><c> our</c><00:11:09.360><c> own</c><00:11:09.519><c> lives,</c><00:11:09.799><c> don't</c><00:11:09.919><c> they?</c>

00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:13.240
Some<00:11:11.019><c> disruption,</c><00:11:11.679><c> some</c><00:11:12.039><c> separation.</c>

00:11:13.419 --> 00:11:14.919
Everything<00:11:13.740><c> seemed</c><00:11:14.000><c> to</c><00:11:14.179><c> be</c><00:11:14.279><c> going</c><00:11:14.460><c> smoothly.</c>

00:11:15.259 --> 00:11:17.019
We<00:11:15.679><c> were</c><00:11:15.919><c> taking</c><00:11:16.200><c> it</c><00:11:16.419><c> all</c><00:11:16.519><c> for</c><00:11:16.740><c> granted.</c>

00:11:17.139 --> 00:11:18.620
We<00:11:17.320><c> hadn't</c><00:11:17.539><c> given</c><00:11:17.740><c> it</c><00:11:17.940><c> a</c><00:11:18.039><c> second</c><00:11:18.299><c> thought</c>

00:11:18.620 --> 00:11:21.919
and<00:11:18.820><c> then</c><00:11:19.679><c> something</c><00:11:19.980><c> will</c><00:11:20.240><c> happen</c><00:11:20.440><c> to</c><00:11:20.919><c> disrupt</c><00:11:21.399><c> us,</c>

00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.179

00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.399
so<00:11:28.820><c> many</c><00:11:29.139><c> good</c><00:11:29.379><c> things</c><00:11:29.639><c> are</c><00:11:29.919><c> there</c><00:11:30.120><c> for</c><00:11:30.379><c> the</c><00:11:30.559><c> having</c>

00:14:34.980 --> 00:14:38.440
Haggai<00:14:35.159><c> was</c><00:14:35.320><c> asking</c><00:14:35.720><c> the</c><00:14:35.940><c> people</c><00:14:36.139><c> now</c><00:14:36.440><c> to</c><00:14:37.059><c> apply</c><00:14:37.480><c> their</c><00:14:37.840><c> minds</c>

So<00:14:40.600><c> they'd</c><00:14:40.860><c> gone</c><00:14:41.080><c> back.</c>

00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:29.500
God<00:16:26.799><c> spoke</c><00:16:27.100><c> to</c><00:16:27.279><c> him</c><00:16:27.399><c> as</c><00:16:27.639><c> a</c><00:16:28.159><c> friend</c><00:16:28.460><c> face</c><00:16:28.940><c> to</c><00:16:29.139><c> face</c>

of<00:17:47.980><c> what</c><00:17:48.180><c> had</c><00:17:48.380><c> once</c><00:17:48.619><c> been.</c>

00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:50.819
We<00:17:49.980><c> get</c><00:17:50.099><c> like</c><00:17:50.359><c> that,</c><00:17:50.559><c> don't</c><00:17:50.700><c> we?</c>

00:17:50.819 --> 00:17:52.579
In<00:17:50.819><c> our</c><00:17:51.319><c> older</c><00:17:51.660><c> age,</c><00:17:52.059><c> we</c><00:17:52.099><c> look</c><00:17:52.299><c> back,</c>

00:17:52.859 --> 00:17:54.920
and<00:17:53.000><c> boy,</c><00:17:53.240><c> it</c><00:17:53.319><c> was</c><00:17:53.539><c> wonderful</c><00:17:54.099><c> when</c><00:17:54.279><c> we</c><00:17:54.500><c> were</c><00:17:54.640><c> young.</c>

00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.220
When<00:17:55.440><c> we</c><00:17:55.720><c> were</c><00:17:55.960><c> young,</c><00:17:56.220><c> of</c><00:17:56.400><c> course,</c><00:17:56.519><c> it</c><00:17:56.599><c> was</c><00:17:56.779><c> terrible.</c>

00:17:57.420 --> 00:17:58.720
And<00:17:57.640><c> it</c><00:17:57.660><c> was</c><00:17:57.839><c> our</c><00:17:58.079><c> parents</c><00:17:58.339><c> who</c><00:17:58.500><c> were</c><00:17:58.559><c> saying</c>

00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:00.220

00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:02.859
But<00:18:00.559><c> that's</c><00:18:00.960><c> just</c><00:18:01.220><c> how</c><00:18:01.420><c> nostalgia</c><00:18:01.940><c> goes.</c>

00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:04.319
But<00:18:03.119><c> of</c><00:18:03.299><c> course,</c><00:18:03.460><c> in</c><00:18:03.599><c> this</c><00:18:03.799><c> instance,</c>

00:18:08.259 --> 00:18:10.299
What<00:18:08.440><c> they</c><00:18:08.680><c> wanted</c><00:18:09.099><c> was</c><00:18:09.500><c> the</c><00:18:09.900><c> rapport,</c>

00:18:10.380 --> 00:18:13.279
the<00:18:10.720><c> relationship</c><00:18:11.619><c> that</c><00:18:12.160><c> had</c><00:18:12.380><c> once</c><00:18:12.640><c> existed.</c>

00:18:13.700 --> 00:18:17.279
They<00:18:13.960><c> wanted</c><00:18:14.380><c> people</c><00:18:14.880><c> who</c><00:18:15.279><c> could</c><00:18:15.579><c> bring</c><00:18:15.940><c> them</c><00:18:16.299><c> close</c><00:18:16.660><c> to</c><00:18:16.900><c> God.</c>

00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:21.220
And<00:18:18.400><c> well,</c><00:18:19.220><c> it</c><00:18:19.460><c> all</c><00:18:19.640><c> got</c><00:18:19.859><c> pretty</c><00:18:20.200><c> elaborate.</c>

You<00:18:21.740><c> remember</c><00:18:21.900><c> as</c><00:18:22.119><c> time</c><00:18:22.420><c> passed,</c><00:18:23.119><c> 400</c><00:18:23.440><c> years</c><00:18:23.819><c> passed,</c>

00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:35.480
began<00:18:33.099><c> to</c><00:18:33.660><c> adorn</c><00:18:34.339><c> what</c><00:18:34.599><c> had</c><00:18:34.839><c> been</c><00:18:35.079><c> done.</c>

00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:38.400
Well,<00:18:36.319><c> Herod</c><00:18:36.519><c> the</c><00:18:36.759><c> Great,</c><00:18:37.039><c> I</c><00:18:37.099><c> say</c><00:18:37.380><c> great</c><00:18:37.819><c> architect,</c>

00:18:40.700 --> 00:18:46.000
But<00:18:40.920><c> there</c><00:18:41.160><c> he</c><00:18:41.339><c> was,</c><00:18:42.660><c> beautifying</c><00:18:43.500><c> what</c><00:18:44.400><c> had</c><00:18:44.880><c> once</c><00:18:45.299><c> been</c>

00:18:48.980 --> 00:18:52.640
And<00:18:49.240><c> now,</c><00:18:49.720><c> well,</c><00:18:50.859><c> they</c><00:18:50.980><c> were</c><00:18:51.180><c> full</c><00:18:51.380><c> of</c><00:18:51.700><c> awe.</c>

00:18:52.900 --> 00:18:55.319
They<00:18:53.339><c> marveled</c><00:18:54.119><c> at</c><00:18:54.259><c> the</c><00:18:54.420><c> beauty</c><00:18:54.700><c> of</c><00:18:54.920><c> it,</c>

00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:01.559
If<00:18:57.799><c> you</c><00:18:57.900><c> ever</c><00:18:58.460><c> have</c><00:18:58.980><c> the</c><00:18:59.160><c> opportunity</c><00:18:59.680><c> to</c><00:19:00.279><c> read</c><00:19:00.579><c> through</c><00:19:00.880><c> Josephus</c>

00:19:13.940 --> 00:19:16.579
It<00:19:14.400><c> filled</c><00:19:14.900><c> them</c><00:19:15.119><c> with</c><00:19:15.460><c> awe.</c>

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:18.720
And<00:19:17.119><c> you</c><00:19:17.380><c> see</c><00:19:17.599><c> the</c><00:19:17.799><c> danger</c><00:19:18.140><c> again.</c>

00:19:19.059 --> 00:19:20.900
Of<00:19:19.220><c> course,</c><00:19:19.339><c> it</c><00:19:19.359><c> was</c><00:19:19.599><c> big</c><00:19:19.839><c> business.</c>

00:19:20.940 --> 00:19:23.220
The<00:19:21.140><c> Sadducees</c><00:19:21.579><c> had</c><00:19:21.720><c> this</c><00:19:21.940><c> as</c><00:19:22.140><c> an</c><00:19:22.539><c> institution.</c>

It<00:19:23.359><c> was</c><00:19:23.579><c> a</c><00:19:23.680><c> real</c><00:19:23.920><c> moneymaker.</c>

00:19:25.339 --> 00:19:29.539
It<00:19:25.359><c> was</c><00:19:25.700><c> a</c><00:19:26.059><c> corporation</c><00:19:26.720><c> now,</c><00:19:27.359><c> a</c><00:19:27.660><c> spiritual</c><00:19:28.160><c> corporation.</c>

And<00:19:30.180><c> they</c><00:19:30.559><c> never</c><00:19:30.839><c> really</c><00:19:31.119><c> gave</c><00:19:31.339><c> attention</c>

00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:33.500
to<00:19:31.980><c> what</c><00:19:32.119><c> it</c><00:19:32.220><c> was</c><00:19:32.380><c> all</c><00:19:32.599><c> about.</c>

00:19:34.339 --> 00:19:37.640
They<00:19:34.519><c> never</c><00:19:34.779><c> really</c><00:19:35.180><c> perceived</c><00:19:35.880><c> that</c><00:19:36.200><c> in</c><00:19:36.440><c> the</c><00:19:36.720><c> center</c><00:19:37.019><c> of</c><00:19:37.279><c> it,</c>

00:19:39.859 --> 00:19:42.859
Remember<00:19:40.099><c> the</c><00:19:40.240><c> Roman</c><00:19:40.519><c> general</c><00:19:40.880><c> Pompey</c><00:19:41.259><c> went</c><00:19:41.640><c> into</c><00:19:42.160><c> the</c><00:19:42.380><c> holy</c><00:19:42.559><c> place,</c>

00:28:49.259 --> 00:28:53.819
So<00:28:49.380><c> in</c><00:28:49.920><c> all</c><00:28:50.559><c> of</c><00:28:51.000><c> the</c><00:28:51.160><c> life</c><00:28:51.359><c> of</c><00:28:51.559><c> the</c><00:28:51.680><c> Lord</c><00:28:51.900><c> Jesus,</c><00:28:52.359><c> the</c><00:28:52.500><c> life</c><00:28:52.700><c> was</c><00:28:53.000><c> manifested.</c>

00:28:54.259 --> 00:28:56.640
We<00:28:54.339><c> have</c><00:28:54.539><c> seen</c><00:28:54.759><c> it</c><00:28:54.980><c> and</c><00:28:55.140><c> bear</c><00:28:55.279><c> witness</c><00:28:55.680><c> and</c><00:28:55.920><c> show</c><00:28:56.140><c> unto</c><00:28:56.339><c> you</c>

00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:05.960
So<00:29:02.579><c> that's</c><00:29:02.900><c> the</c><00:29:02.980><c> very</c><00:29:03.180><c> process,</c><00:29:03.599><c> of</c><00:29:03.839><c> course,</c><00:29:04.559><c> of</c><00:29:04.660><c> God</c><00:29:05.180><c> manifestation</c>

00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:16.759
Again,<00:29:13.960><c> remember</c><00:29:14.299><c> when</c><00:29:14.759><c> the</c><00:29:15.200><c> writer</c><00:29:15.400><c> to</c><00:29:15.579><c> the</c><00:29:15.720><c> Hebrews</c><00:29:15.960><c> describes</c><00:29:16.579><c> the</c>

00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:53.359
now<00:30:49.559><c> the</c><00:30:49.740><c> whole</c><00:30:50.079><c> process</c><00:30:50.700><c> is</c><00:30:51.720><c> changed</c><00:30:52.339><c> about.</c>

00:30:55.819 --> 00:30:59.140
So<00:30:56.359><c> John</c><00:30:56.579><c> is</c><00:30:56.839><c> concerned</c><00:30:57.299><c> in</c><00:30:57.500><c> his</c><00:30:57.920><c> epistle</c><00:30:58.279><c> then</c><00:30:58.559><c> for</c><00:30:58.660><c> us</c><00:30:58.900><c> to</c>

00:31:05.460 --> 00:31:06.680
Remember<00:31:05.700><c> we</c><00:31:05.920><c> saw</c><00:31:06.019><c> it</c><00:31:06.220><c> in</c><00:31:06.299><c> Hebrews?</c>

00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:09.500
He<00:31:07.039><c> was</c><00:31:07.319><c> greater</c><00:31:07.660><c> than</c><00:31:07.900><c> the</c><00:31:08.140><c> prophets,</c><00:31:08.599><c> greater</c><00:31:08.859><c> than</c><00:31:09.059><c> the</c><00:31:09.240><c> angels,</c>

00:31:13.460 --> 00:31:16.359
He<00:31:13.720><c> was</c><00:31:13.980><c> the</c><00:31:14.400><c> greatest</c><00:31:14.940><c> who</c><00:31:15.440><c> has</c><00:31:15.619><c> ever</c><00:31:15.920><c> been.</c>

00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:18.839

00:31:18.859 --> 00:31:21.700
Well,<00:31:19.279><c> now</c><00:31:19.480><c> the</c><00:31:19.559><c> very</c><00:31:19.920><c> same</c><00:31:20.180><c> process</c><00:31:20.599><c> begins.</c>

00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:24.619
Now<00:31:22.140><c> you</c><00:31:22.259><c> get</c><00:31:22.539><c> precisely</c><00:31:23.119><c> that</c><00:31:23.400><c> very</c><00:31:23.660><c> pattern.</c>

00:31:24.700 --> 00:31:26.579
You<00:31:24.839><c> remember</c><00:31:25.000><c> the</c><00:31:25.220><c> law</c><00:31:25.539><c> came</c><00:31:25.819><c> by</c><00:31:26.099><c> Moses,</c>

00:31:26.579 --> 00:31:30.240
but<00:31:27.220><c> grace</c><00:31:27.799><c> and</c><00:31:28.140><c> truth</c><00:31:28.519><c> came</c><00:31:29.099><c> by</c><00:31:29.339><c> Jesus</c><00:31:29.759><c> Christ.</c>

00:31:30.579 --> 00:31:34.119
You<00:31:30.740><c> have,</c><00:31:31.059><c> says</c><00:31:31.099><c> Jesus,</c><00:31:31.700><c> those</c><00:31:32.000><c> who</c><00:31:32.500><c> preach</c><00:31:32.859><c> Moses</c><00:31:33.460><c> in</c><00:31:33.880><c> the</c>

00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:41.140
So<00:31:38.660><c> John</c><00:31:38.859><c> is</c><00:31:39.279><c> quietly</c><00:31:39.619><c> going</c><00:31:39.859><c> through</c><00:31:40.079><c> a</c><00:31:40.220><c> little</c><00:31:40.759><c> tick</c><00:31:40.940><c> list,</c>

Let's<00:31:49.180><c> have</c><00:31:49.319><c> a</c><00:31:49.359><c> look</c><00:31:49.480><c> at</c><00:31:49.579><c> John</c><00:31:49.819><c> chapter</c><00:31:50.119><c> 1</c><00:31:50.440><c> and</c><00:31:50.640><c> there</c><00:31:50.779><c> at</c><00:31:50.940><c> verse</c><00:31:51.140><c> 51.</c>

00:31:55.440 --> 00:32:00.759
Remember<00:31:56.000><c> that</c><00:31:56.240><c> passage</c><00:31:56.660><c> when</c><00:31:57.420><c> Jesus</c><00:31:58.000><c> encounters</c><00:31:59.059><c> Nathanael?</c>

00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:04.640

And<00:32:11.140><c> Jesus</c><00:32:11.460><c> says,</c><00:32:11.960><c> John</c><00:32:12.200><c> 1</c><00:32:12.420><c> and</c><00:32:12.519><c> verse</c><00:32:12.779><c> 50,</c>

00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:49.099
This<00:35:47.019><c> is</c><00:35:47.480><c> my</c><00:35:47.800><c> beloved</c><00:35:48.300><c> son,</c>

00:35:57.480 --> 00:35:59.800
And<00:35:57.820><c> there</c><00:35:58.019><c> was</c><00:35:58.239><c> the</c><00:35:58.380><c> Lord</c><00:35:58.579><c> Jesus</c><00:35:59.079><c> declaring</c>

00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:05.159

all<00:36:07.519><c> that</c><00:36:07.780><c> he</c><00:36:08.059><c> was,</c>

00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:11.719

00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:16.500
I<00:36:13.280><c> am</c><00:36:13.840><c> the</c><00:36:14.940><c> bread</c><00:36:15.159><c> of</c><00:36:15.400><c> life,</c>

So<00:36:29.260><c> step</c><00:36:29.619><c> by</c><00:36:29.860><c> step</c><00:36:30.079><c> in</c><00:36:30.239><c> those</c><00:36:30.519><c> I</c><00:36:30.840><c> am</c><00:36:31.139><c> sayings,</c>

00:36:31.820 --> 00:36:32.679
which<00:36:31.880><c> are</c><00:36:32.079><c> significant,</c>

00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:35.000
for<00:36:32.860><c> they</c><00:36:33.039><c> were</c><00:36:33.300><c> clearly</c><00:36:33.800><c> linking</c><00:36:34.539><c> back</c>

00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:36.679
to<00:36:35.119><c> what</c><00:36:35.380><c> God</c><00:36:35.619><c> had</c><00:36:35.900><c> said</c><00:36:36.019><c> of</c><00:36:36.199><c> himself.</c>

00:36:37.099 --> 00:36:39.139
I<00:36:37.239><c> don't</c><00:36:37.480><c> subscribe</c><00:36:37.980><c> to</c><00:36:38.179><c> the</c><00:36:38.320><c> view</c><00:36:38.460><c> that</c>

00:36:39.139 --> 00:36:41.599
the<00:36:39.980><c> declaration</c><00:36:40.599><c> of</c><00:36:40.800><c> the</c><00:36:41.000><c> memorial</c><00:36:41.360><c> name</c>

00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:43.380
was<00:36:41.920><c> merely</c><00:36:42.380><c> future.</c>

00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:44.639
It<00:36:43.659><c> certainly</c><00:36:43.940><c> was</c><00:36:44.300><c> future,</c>

00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:47.280
but<00:36:44.820><c> it</c><00:36:45.000><c> had</c><00:36:45.119><c> its</c><00:36:45.719><c> present</c><00:36:46.159><c> application</c><00:36:46.880><c> too.</c>

00:36:47.500 --> 00:36:50.239
The<00:36:47.679><c> bush</c><00:36:47.900><c> burned,</c><00:36:48.940><c> but</c><00:36:49.099><c> was</c><00:36:49.340><c> not</c><00:36:49.599><c> consumed.</c>

00:36:50.699 --> 00:36:53.300
The<00:36:51.019><c> eternal</c><00:36:51.480><c> was</c><00:36:51.780><c> manifesting</c><00:36:52.380><c> himself</c><00:36:52.880><c> there.</c>

00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:55.300
It<00:36:53.719><c> was</c><00:36:53.940><c> the</c><00:36:54.260><c> eternal</c><00:36:54.719><c> presence.</c>

00:36:55.300 --> 00:36:58.420
Now<00:36:56.059><c> the</c><00:36:56.280><c> Lord</c><00:36:56.460><c> was</c><00:36:56.780><c> tying</c><00:36:57.059><c> in</c><00:36:57.400><c> to</c><00:36:57.639><c> that</c><00:36:58.000><c> sense</c>

00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:02.539
and<00:37:00.260><c> using</c><00:37:00.519><c> those</c><00:37:01.139><c> seven</c><00:37:01.559><c> careful</c><00:37:02.079><c> statements.</c>

00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:04.139
And<00:37:02.920><c> even</c><00:37:03.119><c> as</c><00:37:03.260><c> he</c><00:37:03.460><c> made</c><00:37:03.760><c> them,</c>

00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:07.300
he<00:37:04.480><c> was</c><00:37:04.719><c> making</c><00:37:05.159><c> contrasts</c><00:37:05.920><c> and</c><00:37:06.139><c> comparisons.</c>

00:37:07.820 --> 00:37:10.659
There<00:37:08.059><c> at</c><00:37:08.360><c> the</c><00:37:08.820><c> front</c><00:37:09.139><c> of</c><00:37:09.840><c> Herod's</c><00:37:10.260><c> temple</c>

00:37:10.659 --> 00:37:13.760
was<00:37:10.920><c> a</c><00:37:11.119><c> magnificent</c><00:37:11.820><c> golden</c><00:37:12.719><c> vine.</c>

00:37:14.019 --> 00:37:16.940
And<00:37:14.360><c> of</c><00:37:14.559><c> course</c><00:37:14.739><c> it</c><00:37:14.860><c> was</c><00:37:15.280><c> fruitless,</c>

00:37:18.260 --> 00:37:22.440
quite<00:37:18.980><c> incapable</c><00:37:19.699><c> of</c><00:37:20.900><c> bearing</c><00:37:21.400><c> any</c><00:37:21.960><c> wine.</c>

00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:24.119
And<00:37:23.260><c> when</c><00:37:23.480><c> the</c><00:37:23.659><c> Lord</c><00:37:23.840><c> said,</c>

00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:27.159
I<00:37:24.559><c> am</c><00:37:24.960><c> the</c><00:37:25.380><c> true</c><00:37:25.980><c> vine,</c>

00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:29.239
necessarily<00:37:27.800><c> the</c><00:37:28.159><c> contrast</c><00:37:28.559><c> was</c><00:37:28.840><c> there.</c>

00:37:29.539 --> 00:37:30.380
Just<00:37:29.840><c> as</c><00:37:29.960><c> when</c><00:37:30.079><c> he</c><00:37:30.199><c> said,</c>

00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:31.960
I<00:37:30.780><c> am</c><00:37:31.000><c> the</c><00:37:31.260><c> good</c><00:37:31.519><c> shepherd,</c>

00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:34.800
the<00:37:32.480><c> comparison</c><00:37:32.940><c> between</c><00:37:33.280><c> the</c><00:37:33.559><c> false</c><00:37:33.900><c> shepherds</c>

00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:36.699
of<00:37:35.039><c> Ezekiel</c><00:37:35.480><c> 34</c><00:37:36.039><c> and</c><00:37:36.260><c> elsewhere</c>

00:37:36.699 --> 00:37:39.780
was<00:37:37.219><c> clearly</c><00:37:37.639><c> manifest</c><00:37:38.139><c> for</c><00:37:38.320><c> those</c><00:37:38.539><c> who</c><00:37:38.699><c> could</c><00:37:38.920><c> see.</c>

00:37:40.260 --> 00:37:41.860
And<00:37:40.460><c> John</c><00:37:40.619><c> was</c><00:37:40.820><c> therefore</c><00:37:41.199><c> unfolding</c>

00:37:41.860 --> 00:37:43.820
and<00:37:42.219><c> drawing</c><00:37:42.420><c> together</c><00:37:42.739><c> all</c><00:37:43.099><c> these</c><00:37:43.480><c> threads</c>

00:37:43.820 --> 00:37:46.360

00:37:47.099 --> 00:37:49.139
And<00:37:47.739><c> he</c><00:37:47.880><c> was</c><00:37:48.079><c> working</c><00:37:48.480><c> through</c>

00:37:49.139 --> 00:37:50.639
the<00:37:49.619><c> wilderness</c><00:37:50.059><c> pattern.</c>

00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:53.860
You've<00:37:51.820><c> only</c><00:37:51.980><c> got</c><00:37:52.139><c> to</c><00:37:52.340><c> see</c><00:37:52.539><c> the</c><00:37:53.019><c> structure</c><00:37:53.599><c> there</c>

00:37:53.860 --> 00:37:55.079
to<00:37:54.079><c> understand</c><00:37:54.559><c> at</c><00:37:54.800><c> once</c>

00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:57.360
what<00:37:55.599><c> John's</c><00:37:56.139><c> schematic</c><00:37:56.539><c> is.</c>

00:37:58.079 --> 00:37:58.940
Remember?

00:37:59.820 --> 00:38:01.099
The<00:37:59.880><c> word</c><00:38:00.199><c> was</c><00:38:00.440><c> made</c><00:38:00.800><c> flesh</c>

00:38:01.099 --> 00:38:03.460
and<00:38:01.480><c> tabernacled</c><00:38:02.219><c> among</c><00:38:02.519><c> us.</c>

00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:06.619
So<00:38:03.860><c> there</c><00:38:04.039><c> was</c><00:38:04.260><c> a</c><00:38:04.559><c> tabernacling</c><00:38:05.239><c> experience.</c>

00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:09.320
Behold,<00:38:07.639><c> said</c><00:38:07.820><c> John</c><00:38:08.199><c> the</c><00:38:08.360><c> Baptist,</c>

00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:10.739
the<00:38:09.699><c> lamb</c><00:38:10.079><c> of</c><00:38:10.420><c> God</c>

00:38:11.159 --> 00:38:13.480
that<00:38:11.699><c> taketh</c><00:38:12.000><c> away</c><00:38:12.300><c> the</c><00:38:12.579><c> sin</c><00:38:12.699><c> of</c><00:38:12.880><c> the</c><00:38:13.059><c> world.</c>

00:38:13.880 --> 00:38:16.199
He<00:38:14.039><c> was</c><00:38:14.300><c> the</c><00:38:14.559><c> Passover</c><00:38:15.039><c> lamb.</c>

00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:18.599
And<00:38:16.840><c> as</c><00:38:17.059><c> Moses</c><00:38:17.420><c> lifted</c><00:38:17.800><c> up</c><00:38:18.059><c> the</c><00:38:18.320><c> serpent</c>

00:38:22.860 --> 00:38:24.820

Sometimes<00:39:32.500><c> the</c><00:39:32.900><c> comparisons</c><00:39:33.300><c> are</c><00:39:33.559><c> not</c><00:39:34.260><c> immediate</c>

who<00:43:27.960><c> sought</c><00:43:28.320><c> to</c><00:43:28.980><c> stone</c><00:43:29.500><c> the</c><00:43:29.880><c> Lord</c><00:43:30.219><c> Jesus</c><00:43:30.679><c> Christ</c>

00:43:31.179 --> 00:43:33.239
if<00:43:31.559><c> they</c><00:43:31.760><c> could</c><00:43:31.980><c> but</c><00:43:32.219><c> have</c><00:43:32.440><c> done.</c>

00:43:33.380 --> 00:43:35.920
But<00:43:33.579><c> you</c><00:43:33.719><c> see,</c><00:43:33.960><c> John</c><00:43:34.099><c> is</c><00:43:34.440><c> really</c><00:43:34.760><c> not</c><00:43:35.059><c> simply</c><00:43:35.480><c> saying</c>

00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:37.880
that<00:43:36.679><c> here</c><00:43:36.860><c> was</c><00:43:37.079><c> a</c><00:43:37.280><c> pattern</c><00:43:37.559><c> then</c>

00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:39.579
and<00:43:38.059><c> it</c><00:43:38.199><c> had</c><00:43:38.340><c> all</c><00:43:38.559><c> been</c><00:43:38.860><c> foretold</c>

00:43:39.579 --> 00:43:41.360
and<00:43:39.980><c> now</c><00:43:40.239><c> it</c><00:43:40.380><c> was</c><00:43:40.559><c> working</c><00:43:40.960><c> out</c>

00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:42.719
and<00:43:41.539><c> that</c><00:43:41.719><c> this</c><00:43:41.940><c> was</c><00:43:42.119><c> a</c><00:43:42.400><c> structure</c>

00:43:42.719 --> 00:43:44.179
that<00:43:42.980><c> God</c><00:43:43.300><c> had</c><00:43:43.780><c> intended.</c>

00:43:44.420 --> 00:43:47.460
His<00:43:44.960><c> intent</c><00:43:45.420><c> was</c><00:43:45.719><c> greater</c><00:43:46.079><c> than</c><00:43:46.400><c> that.</c>

00:43:48.840 --> 00:43:52.880
God<00:43:49.559><c> had</c><00:43:49.920><c> come</c><00:43:50.340><c> to</c><00:43:50.699><c> draw</c><00:43:51.039><c> near</c><00:43:51.519><c> to</c><00:43:52.000><c> men</c><00:43:52.219><c> and</c><00:43:52.400><c> women.</c>

00:43:53.340 --> 00:43:55.260
He's<00:43:53.380><c> come</c><00:43:53.599><c> to</c><00:43:53.800><c> draw</c><00:43:53.940><c> near</c><00:43:54.179><c> to</c><00:43:54.360><c> us.</c>

00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:59.139
He<00:43:56.000><c> wanted</c><00:43:56.340><c> now</c><00:43:56.659><c> a</c><00:43:57.320><c> total</c><00:43:57.800><c> relationship.</c>

00:43:59.619 --> 00:44:01.880
All<00:43:59.760><c> the</c><00:44:00.019><c> previous</c><00:44:00.340><c> apparatus</c><00:44:01.000><c> had</c><00:44:01.300><c> been</c>

00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:03.800
full<00:44:02.260><c> of</c><00:44:02.559><c> meaning</c><00:44:02.920><c> and</c><00:44:03.260><c> significance.</c>

00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:07.219
It<00:44:03.980><c> was</c><00:44:04.539><c> a</c><00:44:04.840><c> gigantic</c><00:44:05.420><c> and</c><00:44:05.800><c> elaborate</c><00:44:06.260><c> visual</c><00:44:06.880><c> aid,</c>

00:44:07.420 --> 00:44:10.079
whether<00:44:07.579><c> as</c><00:44:08.119><c> a</c><00:44:08.300><c> tabernacle</c><00:44:08.739><c> or</c><00:44:08.960><c> a</c><00:44:09.159><c> temple.</c>

00:44:10.219 --> 00:44:12.000
But<00:44:10.460><c> now</c><00:44:10.739><c> God</c><00:44:10.940><c> was</c><00:44:11.179><c> saying</c><00:44:11.519><c> that</c>

00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:15.440
He<00:44:12.280><c> wanted</c><00:44:13.019><c> communion,</c><00:44:14.820><c> fellowship.</c>

00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:18.400
And<00:44:16.519><c> He</c><00:44:16.679><c> had</c><00:44:16.980><c> sent</c><00:44:17.159><c> His</c><00:44:17.420><c> high</c><00:44:17.840><c> priest</c>

00:44:18.400 --> 00:44:22.440
to<00:44:19.400><c> initiate</c><00:44:20.320><c> a</c><00:44:21.139><c> priesthood.</c>

00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:24.420
Just<00:44:23.760><c> take</c><00:44:24.000><c> for</c><00:44:24.179><c> a</c><00:44:24.300><c> moment</c>

00:44:24.420 --> 00:44:27.079
those<00:44:24.679><c> component</c><00:44:25.219><c> parts</c><00:44:25.559><c> of</c><00:44:25.760><c> the</c><00:44:25.940><c> tabernacle.</c>

00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:29.219
The<00:44:27.619><c> way</c><00:44:27.840><c> in,</c><00:44:28.000><c> for</c><00:44:28.219><c> example.</c>

00:44:29.599 --> 00:44:31.659
You<00:44:29.719><c> remember</c><00:44:29.880><c> the</c><00:44:30.159><c> screen</c><00:44:30.539><c> that</c><00:44:30.699><c> was</c><00:44:30.920><c> there</c>

00:44:31.659 --> 00:44:33.360
upon<00:44:32.239><c> the</c><00:44:32.480><c> pillars?</c>

00:44:33.960 --> 00:44:36.280
There<00:44:34.219><c> was</c><00:44:34.400><c> only</c><00:44:34.699><c> one</c><00:44:35.000><c> way</c><00:44:35.239><c> in.</c>

00:44:36.559 --> 00:44:37.559
Anybody<00:44:36.840><c> who</c><00:44:37.019><c> went</c><00:44:37.159><c> otherwise</c>

00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:39.820

00:44:40.059 --> 00:44:41.860
But<00:44:40.579><c> there</c><00:44:41.119><c> was</c><00:44:41.380><c> the</c><00:44:41.539><c> way.</c>

00:44:42.139 --> 00:44:43.199
I<00:44:42.400><c> am</c><00:44:42.559><c> the</c><00:44:42.739><c> way,</c>

00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:45.500
the<00:44:44.039><c> truth</c><00:44:44.460><c> and</c><00:44:45.000><c> the</c><00:44:45.119><c> life.</c>

00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:47.219
No<00:44:45.980><c> man</c><00:44:46.219><c> comes</c><00:44:46.480><c> to</c><00:44:46.679><c> the</c><00:44:46.860><c> Father</c>

00:44:47.219 --> 00:44:49.380
but<00:44:47.880><c> by</c><00:44:48.340><c> me.</c>

00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:52.219
And<00:44:50.019><c> there</c><00:44:50.179><c> had</c><00:44:50.420><c> to</c><00:44:50.579><c> be</c><00:44:50.760><c> a</c><00:44:50.980><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:44:53.239 --> 00:44:55.280
Well,<00:44:53.599><c> He</c><00:44:53.780><c> had</c><00:44:54.000><c> come</c><00:44:54.219><c> for</c><00:44:54.380><c> that</c><00:44:54.599><c> very</c><00:44:54.840><c> reason,</c>

00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:57.539
the<00:44:56.019><c> Lamb</c><00:44:56.340><c> of</c><00:44:56.639><c> God.</c>

00:44:57.920 --> 00:44:59.920
And<00:44:58.159><c> there</c><00:44:58.340><c> had</c><00:44:58.599><c> to</c><00:44:58.820><c> be</c><00:44:59.059><c> washing.</c>

00:45:00.219 --> 00:45:03.280
Remember<00:45:00.480><c> we</c><00:45:00.940><c> spotted</c><00:45:01.239><c> it</c><00:45:01.480><c> back</c><00:45:01.659><c> in</c><00:45:02.219><c> Exodus</c><00:45:02.579><c> 19</c>

00:45:03.280 --> 00:45:05.500
when<00:45:03.920><c> God</c><00:45:04.239><c> said</c><00:45:04.460><c> to</c><00:45:04.619><c> the</c><00:45:04.780><c> people</c><00:45:04.960><c> of</c><00:45:05.119><c> Israel,</c>

00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:07.159
right,<00:45:05.980><c> wash</c><00:45:06.280><c> and</c><00:45:06.500><c> be</c><00:45:06.780><c> clean.</c>

00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:10.460
I'm<00:45:07.739><c> coming</c><00:45:08.019><c> down</c><00:45:08.500><c> so</c><00:45:09.000><c> you</c><00:45:09.219><c> get</c><00:45:09.400><c> ready.</c>

00:45:11.179 --> 00:45:12.480
Developed<00:45:11.719><c> in</c><00:45:11.880><c> the</c><00:45:12.079><c> temple.</c>

00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:15.940
Then<00:45:13.079><c> there</c><00:45:13.300><c> were</c><00:45:13.699><c> not</c><00:45:14.000><c> only</c><00:45:14.199><c> the</c><00:45:15.079><c> huge</c><00:45:15.079><c> brazen</c><00:45:15.639><c> sea</c>

00:45:15.940 --> 00:45:20.460
but<00:45:16.099><c> there</c><00:45:16.300><c> were</c><00:45:16.480><c> the</c><00:45:16.920><c> ten</c><00:45:17.559><c> moveable</c><00:45:18.579><c> lavers</c><00:45:19.119><c> as</c><00:45:19.460><c> well.</c>

00:45:21.380 --> 00:45:23.920
So<00:45:21.599><c> what</c><00:45:22.000><c> now</c><00:45:22.440><c> is</c><00:45:22.880><c> happening</c><00:45:23.300><c> is</c><00:45:23.699><c> that</c>

00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:28.500
John<00:45:24.079><c> is</c><00:45:24.400><c> showing</c><00:45:24.699><c> us</c><00:45:25.260><c> that</c><00:45:26.320><c> we</c><00:45:27.000><c> need</c><00:45:27.440><c> to</c><00:45:27.699><c> be</c><00:45:28.019><c> washed,</c>

00:45:28.679 --> 00:45:30.559

00:45:33.800 --> 00:45:35.000
Remember<00:45:34.019><c> that</c><00:45:34.260><c> episode</c><00:45:34.679><c> there?</c>

00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:36.920
I'm<00:45:35.219><c> wondering</c><00:45:35.360><c> if</c><00:45:35.480><c> you've</c><00:45:36.019><c> seen</c><00:45:36.300><c> the</c><00:45:36.599><c> connection</c>

John<00:45:41.099><c> chapter</c><00:45:41.480><c> 13</c><00:45:42.039><c> and</c>

00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:49.219
there<00:45:45.019><c> is</c><00:45:45.280><c> the</c><00:45:45.480><c> Lord</c><00:45:46.079><c> washing</c><00:45:46.840><c> His</c><00:45:47.400><c> disciples'</c><00:45:48.360><c> feet.</c>

00:45:52.420 --> 00:45:54.420
He<00:45:52.619><c> riseth</c><00:45:52.900><c> from</c><00:45:53.179><c> supper,</c><00:45:53.519><c> verse</c><00:45:53.900><c> 4,</c>

00:45:56.280 --> 00:45:58.920
and<00:45:56.820><c> took</c><00:45:57.079><c> a</c><00:45:57.380><c> towel</c><00:45:57.659><c> and</c><00:45:57.980><c> girded</c><00:45:58.380><c> Himself.</c>

00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:02.440
After<00:45:59.699><c> that</c><00:45:59.900><c> He</c><00:46:00.119><c> poureth</c><00:46:00.599><c> water</c><00:46:01.039><c> into</c><00:46:01.280><c> a</c><00:46:01.519><c> basin,</c>

00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:04.559

00:46:08.679 --> 00:46:10.699
Well,<00:46:09.280><c> you</c><00:46:09.539><c> know</c><00:46:09.659><c> how</c><00:46:09.860><c> the</c><00:46:10.019><c> Lord</c><00:46:10.159><c> went</c><00:46:10.440><c> on</c>

God<00:48:49.820><c> is</c><00:48:50.099><c> concerned</c><00:48:50.480><c> about</c><00:48:50.719><c> what's</c><00:48:51.219><c> inside,</c>

00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:57.219
And<00:48:55.599><c> so</c><00:48:55.940><c> John</c><00:48:56.280><c> and</c><00:48:56.480><c> John</c><00:48:56.719><c> alone</c>

00:49:23.239 --> 00:49:24.900
Father,<00:49:23.480><c> the</c><00:49:23.519><c> hour</c><00:49:23.739><c> has</c><00:49:24.019><c> come.</c>

00:49:36.699 --> 00:49:39.960
Now<00:49:37.019><c> you</c><00:49:37.159><c> remember</c><00:49:37.340><c> he</c><00:49:37.480><c> begins</c><00:49:37.880><c> to</c><00:49:38.300><c> bind</c><00:49:38.780><c> together,</c>

00:49:40.059 --> 00:49:41.380
to<00:49:40.340><c> bring</c><00:49:40.780><c> together,</c>

00:49:41.840 --> 00:49:44.380

00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:47.460
He<00:49:45.340><c> had</c><00:49:45.599><c> already</c><00:49:45.980><c> that</c><00:49:46.260><c> unity</c><00:49:46.659><c> with</c><00:49:46.860><c> the</c><00:49:47.059><c> Father</c>

00:49:47.460 --> 00:49:50.619
just<00:49:48.320><c> as</c><00:49:48.539><c> the</c><00:49:48.719><c> Ark</c><00:49:48.840><c> of</c><00:49:49.000><c> the</c><00:49:49.179><c> Covenant</c><00:49:49.440><c> had</c><00:49:49.659><c> gone</c><00:49:49.880><c> in</c><00:49:50.179><c> there</c>

00:49:50.619 --> 00:49:55.199
and<00:49:51.019><c> had</c><00:49:51.320><c> gone</c><00:49:51.559><c> under</c><00:49:52.159><c> the</c><00:49:52.780><c> overarching</c><00:49:53.480><c> arms</c><00:49:53.960><c> of</c><00:49:54.159><c> the</c><00:49:54.400><c> Kerubim.</c>

00:49:55.480 --> 00:49:59.000
And<00:49:55.820><c> Father</c><00:49:56.000><c> and</c><00:49:56.320><c> Son</c><00:49:56.519><c> had</c><00:49:56.719><c> been</c><00:49:57.420><c> there</c><00:49:57.840><c> together,</c>

00:49:59.260 --> 00:50:02.599

00:50:02.940 --> 00:50:06.480
And<00:50:03.500><c> the</c><00:50:03.840><c> whole</c><00:50:04.239><c> unity</c><00:50:04.760><c> having</c><00:50:05.019><c> been</c><00:50:05.280><c> established.</c>

00:50:06.539 --> 00:50:07.719
So<00:50:06.739><c> now</c><00:50:06.940><c> Jesus</c><00:50:07.239><c> was</c><00:50:07.480><c> saying,</c>

00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:10.579
look,<00:50:08.139><c> that's</c><00:50:08.659><c> the</c><00:50:08.860><c> unity</c><00:50:09.119><c> that</c><00:50:09.360><c> God</c><00:50:09.599><c> wants.</c>

00:50:10.940 --> 00:50:12.460
What<00:50:11.179><c> happened</c><00:50:11.340><c> between</c><00:50:11.739><c> Father</c><00:50:12.039><c> and</c><00:50:12.300><c> Son</c>

00:50:12.460 --> 00:50:15.480
is<00:50:12.599><c> what</c><00:50:12.880><c> God</c><00:50:13.239><c> wants</c><00:50:13.760><c> in</c><00:50:14.320><c> the</c><00:50:14.519><c> body</c><00:50:14.760><c> of</c><00:50:15.079><c> believers.</c>

00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:17.460
God<00:50:16.139><c> wants</c><00:50:16.480><c> us</c><00:50:16.739><c> to</c><00:50:16.840><c> be</c><00:50:17.139><c> close.</c>

00:50:17.719 --> 00:50:21.639
He<00:50:18.119><c> wants</c><00:50:18.619><c> us</c><00:50:19.239><c> to</c><00:50:19.659><c> understand</c><00:50:20.219><c> and</c><00:50:20.460><c> to</c><00:50:20.739><c> perceive.</c>

00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:25.880
And<00:50:23.019><c> so</c><00:50:23.380><c> it</c><00:50:23.780><c> was</c><00:50:24.059><c> clear</c><00:50:24.340><c> then</c><00:50:24.699><c> that</c><00:50:25.000><c> what</c><00:50:25.219><c> had</c><00:50:25.519><c> happened</c>

00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:28.920
and<00:50:26.539><c> all</c><00:50:27.000><c> that</c><00:50:27.219><c> had</c><00:50:27.340><c> been</c><00:50:27.679><c> built</c><00:50:28.079><c> up</c><00:50:28.519><c> to</c>

00:50:28.920 --> 00:50:32.440
was<00:50:29.579><c> now</c><00:50:29.900><c> the</c><00:50:30.460><c> fulfilment</c><00:50:31.239><c> and</c><00:50:31.420><c> the</c><00:50:31.739><c> realisation</c>

00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:39.900

00:50:40.019 --> 00:50:41.480
There<00:50:40.119><c> had</c><00:50:40.199><c> been</c><00:50:40.420><c> echoes</c><00:50:40.739><c> before.</c>

00:50:41.820 --> 00:50:43.940
Now<00:50:42.099><c> there</c><00:50:42.219><c> was</c><00:50:42.420><c> the</c><00:50:42.659><c> realisation.</c>

00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:47.559
The<00:50:44.679><c> name</c><00:50:44.900><c> had</c><00:50:45.099><c> once</c><00:50:45.360><c> reposed,</c><00:50:45.900><c> remember,</c><00:50:46.239><c> in</c><00:50:46.400><c> an</c><00:50:46.599><c> angel.</c>

00:50:47.940 --> 00:50:50.000
It<00:50:48.079><c> had</c><00:50:48.300><c> lodged</c><00:50:48.559><c> in</c><00:50:48.699><c> a</c><00:50:49.000><c> place.</c>

00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:54.900
But<00:50:50.599><c> now</c><00:50:51.000><c> it</c><00:50:51.219><c> was</c><00:50:51.539><c> being</c><00:50:52.079><c> expressed</c><00:50:53.139><c> by</c><00:50:53.860><c> a</c><00:50:54.099><c> son.</c>
