That's<00:17:12.720><c> the</c><00:17:12.839><c> warfare</c><00:17:13.240><c> of</c><00:17:13.480><c> Amalek,</c><00:17:13.859><c> brethren</c><00:17:13.980><c> and</c><00:17:14.240><c> sisters.</c>

00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:56.859
And<00:17:55.099><c> it's</c><00:17:55.339><c> a</c><00:17:55.460><c> warfare</c><00:17:55.779><c> of</c><00:17:56.099><c> faith.</c>

00:17:56.940 --> 00:17:58.319
It's<00:17:57.259><c> a</c><00:17:57.380><c> warfare</c><00:17:57.740><c> of</c><00:17:58.059><c> faith.</c>

00:17:58.740 --> 00:18:01.440

was<00:18:05.440><c> Mordecai.</c>

00:18:07.180 --> 00:18:08.200
Why?

00:18:08.779 --> 00:18:10.700
Because<00:18:09.160><c> he</c><00:18:09.460><c> feared</c><00:18:09.920><c> him.</c>

00:18:11.819 --> 00:18:12.859
Because<00:18:12.339><c> Mordecai</c>

00:18:12.859 --> 00:18:14.839

00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:16.619
And<00:18:16.000><c> that's</c><00:18:16.359><c> the</c><00:18:16.519><c> one</c>

00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:20.960
He<00:18:19.019><c> just</c><00:18:19.339><c> detested</c><00:18:19.900><c> him.</c>

00:18:21.059 --> 00:18:22.640
And<00:18:21.160><c> he's</c><00:18:21.460><c> always</c><00:18:21.900><c> detested</c><00:18:22.339><c> those</c>

00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:28.900

00:18:29.059 --> 00:18:31.259
And<00:18:29.200><c> he</c><00:18:29.259><c> can</c><00:18:29.420><c> only</c><00:18:29.759><c> devise</c><00:18:30.420><c> means</c><00:18:30.740><c> to</c><00:18:30.960><c> get</c><00:18:31.059><c> them</c>

00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:35.240
But<00:18:33.539><c> he</c><00:18:33.720><c> can't</c><00:18:34.160><c> get</c><00:18:34.359><c> to</c><00:18:34.480><c> them.</c>

00:18:35.380 --> 00:18:37.240
He<00:18:35.599><c> hates</c><00:18:35.940><c> that</c><00:18:36.259><c> sort,</c><00:18:36.759><c> brethren</c><00:18:36.759><c> and</c><00:18:37.000><c> sisters.</c>

And<00:18:43.940><c> we'll</c><00:18:44.099><c> have</c><00:18:44.200><c> to</c><00:18:44.359><c> slip</c><00:18:44.559><c> through</c><00:18:44.819><c> these</c><00:18:45.059><c> two</c><00:18:45.259><c> chapters</c>

00:18:45.539 --> 00:18:47.480
picking<00:18:45.819><c> out</c><00:18:46.019><c> the</c><00:18:46.240><c> main</c><00:18:46.380><c> issues,</c><00:18:46.819><c> brethren</c><00:18:46.940><c> and</c><00:18:47.240><c> sisters.</c>

00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:49.440
And<00:18:47.900><c> they're</c><00:18:48.079><c> wonderful</c><00:18:48.500><c> issues.</c>

00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:51.319
And<00:18:49.680><c> we</c><00:18:49.779><c> know</c><00:18:49.960><c> the</c><00:18:50.200><c> story.</c>

00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:53.160
Haman<00:18:51.880><c> was</c><00:18:52.220><c> advanced</c><00:18:52.799><c> by</c>

00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.319

00:18:57.319 --> 00:18:59.079
But<00:18:57.420><c> he</c><00:18:57.599><c> had,</c><00:18:57.700><c> of</c><00:18:57.900><c> course,</c>

00:18:59.140 --> 00:19:00.579

00:19:00.579 --> 00:19:02.819
And<00:19:01.359><c> he</c><00:19:01.480><c> was</c><00:19:01.759><c> advanced.</c>

00:19:03.059 --> 00:19:05.079
And<00:19:03.059><c> you</c><00:19:03.220><c> know,</c><00:19:03.519><c> the</c><00:19:03.640><c> pride</c><00:19:03.920><c> of</c><00:19:04.059><c> this</c><00:19:04.279><c> man,</c><00:19:04.579><c> brethren</c><00:19:04.720><c> and</c><00:19:04.940><c> sisters</c>

00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:06.460
is<00:19:05.299><c> almost</c><00:19:05.660><c> beyond</c><00:19:05.960><c> description.</c>

00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:08.700
We'll<00:19:06.960><c> come</c><00:19:07.140><c> to</c><00:19:07.200><c> that</c><00:19:07.339><c> in</c><00:19:07.480><c> the</c><00:19:07.559><c> latter</c><00:19:07.720><c> chapter.</c>

00:19:08.740 --> 00:19:10.299
To<00:19:08.900><c> see</c><00:19:09.039><c> the</c><00:19:09.319><c> pride</c><00:19:09.539><c> of</c><00:19:09.720><c> this</c><00:19:09.980><c> man.</c>

00:19:10.700 --> 00:19:12.700
It<00:19:10.779><c> just</c><00:19:11.000><c> absolutely,</c><00:19:11.740><c> he</c><00:19:12.019><c> went</c><00:19:12.279><c> mad</c>

00:19:12.700 --> 00:19:14.079
and<00:19:13.099><c> crazy</c><00:19:13.359><c> with</c><00:19:13.700><c> pride.</c>

00:19:14.500 --> 00:19:16.859
So<00:19:14.839><c> proud</c><00:19:15.140><c> was</c><00:19:15.359><c> this</c><00:19:15.660><c> man</c><00:19:16.019><c> that</c><00:19:16.339><c> his</c><00:19:16.559><c> hatred</c>

00:19:18.900 --> 00:19:20.579
You<00:19:18.980><c> know,</c><00:19:19.319><c> a</c><00:19:19.460><c> man</c><00:19:19.599><c> is</c><00:19:19.839><c> terribly</c><00:19:20.259><c> beaten</c>

00:19:20.579 --> 00:19:22.720
by<00:19:20.819><c> himself</c><00:19:21.359><c> when</c><00:19:21.900><c> he</c><00:19:22.099><c> can't</c><00:19:22.339><c> enjoy</c>

00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:24.619
life<00:19:23.200><c> while</c><00:19:23.519><c> anyone</c><00:19:23.920><c> stands</c><00:19:24.279><c> above</c>

00:19:24.619 --> 00:19:26.140
the<00:19:24.839><c> ground</c><00:19:24.980><c> that</c><00:19:25.119><c> he</c><00:19:25.380><c> can't</c><00:19:25.880><c> stand.</c>

00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:28.619
A<00:19:26.680><c> man</c><00:19:26.839><c> whose</c><00:19:27.039><c> hatred,</c><00:19:27.400><c> brethren</c><00:19:27.720><c> and</c><00:19:27.980><c> sisters,</c><00:19:28.259><c> exceeds</c>

00:19:28.619 --> 00:19:30.539
his<00:19:29.180><c> ambition</c><00:19:29.240><c> is</c><00:19:29.480><c> a</c><00:19:29.519><c> man</c><00:19:29.779><c> whose</c><00:19:30.059><c> pride</c>

00:19:30.539 --> 00:19:32.460
is<00:19:30.960><c> just</c><00:19:31.220><c> impossible.</c>

00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:33.779
And<00:19:32.680><c> that's</c><00:19:32.839><c> what</c><00:19:33.039><c> this</c><00:19:33.259><c> man</c><00:19:33.440><c> was.</c>

00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:35.680
He<00:19:34.259><c> had</c><00:19:34.460><c> the</c><00:19:34.660><c> world</c><00:19:34.880><c> laid</c><00:19:35.079><c> at</c><00:19:35.200><c> his</c><00:19:35.460><c> feet.</c>

00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:37.140
He<00:19:35.960><c> had</c><00:19:36.160><c> everything</c><00:19:36.420><c> but</c><00:19:36.619><c> the</c><00:19:36.819><c> kingship.</c>

00:19:37.259 --> 00:19:38.539
And<00:19:37.339><c> he</c><00:19:37.680><c> desired</c><00:19:38.000><c> that</c><00:19:38.319><c> even.</c>

00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:41.279
But<00:19:39.000><c> he</c><00:19:39.119><c> had</c><00:19:39.400><c> everything</c><00:19:39.920><c> that</c><00:19:40.240><c> mortal</c><00:19:40.480><c> man</c><00:19:40.779><c> could</c><00:19:41.079><c> want.</c>

00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:43.420
And<00:19:41.519><c> he</c><00:19:41.779><c> just</c><00:19:42.059><c> couldn't</c><00:19:42.380><c> hardly</c><00:19:42.680><c> dare</c><00:19:42.980><c> to</c><00:19:43.200><c> live</c>

00:19:43.420 --> 00:19:45.480
because<00:19:43.940><c> Mordecai</c><00:19:44.539><c> was</c><00:19:44.819><c> above</c><00:19:45.059><c> the</c><00:19:45.279><c> earth.</c>

00:19:45.859 --> 00:19:48.799
That<00:19:46.099><c> man</c><00:19:46.359><c> is</c><00:19:46.680><c> eaten</c><00:19:46.859><c> out</c><00:19:47.180><c> as</c><00:19:47.440><c> a</c><00:19:47.779><c> skeleton,</c><00:19:48.359><c> brethren</c><00:19:48.480><c> and</c><00:19:48.680><c> sisters,</c>

00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:49.980
with<00:19:49.039><c> hatred.</c>

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:52.000
That's<00:19:50.539><c> the</c><00:19:50.660><c> sort</c><00:19:50.819><c> of</c><00:19:50.960><c> man</c><00:19:51.119><c> that</c><00:19:51.339><c> Haman</c><00:19:51.519><c> was.</c>

00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:54.240
And<00:19:52.740><c> he's</c><00:19:52.980><c> introduced</c><00:19:53.279><c> to</c><00:19:53.519><c> us</c>

00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.339
as<00:19:54.599><c> the</c><00:19:54.900><c> Jew's</c><00:19:55.539><c> enemy.</c>

00:19:56.420 --> 00:19:58.400
And<00:19:56.900><c> Haman,</c><00:19:57.500><c> or</c><00:19:57.619><c> rather</c><00:19:57.880><c> Mordecai,</c>

00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:00.019
would<00:19:58.700><c> not</c><00:19:58.980><c> bow</c><00:19:59.220><c> and</c><00:19:59.500><c> reverence</c><00:19:59.779><c> him.</c>

00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:02.440
And<00:20:00.619><c> every</c><00:20:00.799><c> time</c><00:20:01.000><c> he</c><00:20:01.180><c> passed</c><00:20:01.480><c> through</c><00:20:01.700><c> the</c><00:20:01.839><c> king's</c><00:20:02.180><c> gate</c>

00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:04.160
the<00:20:02.880><c> servants</c><00:20:03.099><c> would</c><00:20:03.440><c> stand</c><00:20:04.000><c> up</c>

00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:05.119
and<00:20:04.400><c> bow</c><00:20:04.660><c> and</c><00:20:04.880><c> reverence.</c>

00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:08.339
And<00:20:05.660><c> he</c><00:20:05.839><c> never</c><00:20:06.220><c> even</c><00:20:06.779><c> noticed</c><00:20:07.259><c> Mordecai</c>

00:20:08.420 --> 00:20:09.880
failing<00:20:08.839><c> to</c><00:20:09.119><c> bow.</c>

00:20:10.940 --> 00:20:12.059
You<00:20:11.140><c> often</c><00:20:11.299><c> wonder</c><00:20:11.579><c> about</c><00:20:11.859><c> that,</c>

00:20:12.299 --> 00:20:13.339
brethren<00:20:12.339><c> and</c><00:20:12.599><c> sisters.</c>

00:20:13.619 --> 00:20:15.700
But<00:20:13.740><c> you</c><00:20:13.819><c> know,</c><00:20:13.940><c> I</c><00:20:14.160><c> believe</c><00:20:14.420><c> that</c><00:20:14.579><c> the</c><00:20:14.680><c> reason</c><00:20:14.880><c> he</c><00:20:14.960><c> never</c><00:20:15.180><c> noticed</c><00:20:15.420><c> it</c><00:20:15.539><c> was</c>

00:20:15.700 --> 00:20:17.980
because<00:20:15.799><c> he</c><00:20:15.920><c> went</c><00:20:16.019><c> through</c><00:20:16.140><c> the</c><00:20:16.279><c> gate</c><00:20:16.400><c> like</c><00:20:16.700><c> this.</c>

00:20:19.220 --> 00:20:21.859
He<00:20:19.700><c> never</c><00:20:20.099><c> even</c><00:20:20.460><c> saw</c><00:20:20.759><c> him.</c>

00:20:22.180 --> 00:20:23.980
Until<00:20:22.660><c> they</c><00:20:23.000><c> went</c><00:20:23.240><c> and</c><00:20:23.519><c> told</c>

00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:25.579
him<00:20:24.259><c> that</c><00:20:24.359><c> he</c><00:20:24.480><c> wasn't</c><00:20:24.779><c> bowing.</c>

00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:27.180
And<00:20:26.019><c> then</c><00:20:26.140><c> he</c><00:20:26.279><c> looked.</c>

00:20:28.819 --> 00:20:30.079
Then<00:20:29.000><c> he</c><00:20:29.200><c> looked.</c>

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:31.519
And<00:20:30.500><c> you</c><00:20:30.599><c> know,</c><00:20:30.940><c> brethren</c><00:20:31.039><c> and</c><00:20:31.319><c> sisters,</c>

00:20:31.900 --> 00:20:34.960
there<00:20:32.039><c> was</c><00:20:32.319><c> a</c><00:20:32.519><c> great</c><00:20:32.720><c> discussion</c><00:20:33.259><c> when</c><00:20:33.480><c> on</c><00:20:33.579><c> that</c><00:20:33.839><c> king's</c><00:20:34.240><c> gate.</c>

Verse<00:20:35.180><c> 3.</c>

00:20:36.460 --> 00:20:38.140
The<00:20:36.460><c> king's</c><00:20:37.160><c> servants,</c><00:20:37.420><c> which</c><00:20:37.599><c> were</c><00:20:37.759><c> in</c><00:20:37.839><c> the</c>

king's<00:20:38.599><c> gate,</c><00:20:38.900><c> said</c><00:20:38.960><c> unto</c><00:20:39.220><c> Mordecai,</c>

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:42.480
Why<00:20:40.200><c> transgresseth</c><00:20:40.920><c> thou</c><00:20:41.140><c> the</c><00:20:41.359><c> king's</c><00:20:41.940><c> commandment?</c>

00:20:42.700 --> 00:20:43.680
Three<00:20:43.119><c> times</c>

00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:46.400
we<00:20:44.160><c> are</c><00:20:44.339><c> told</c><00:20:44.519><c> that</c><00:20:44.720><c> things</c><00:20:44.920><c> relate</c><00:20:45.200><c> to</c><00:20:45.359><c> the</c><00:20:45.619><c> king.</c>

00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:47.900

00:20:47.900 --> 00:20:50.059
Mordecai<00:20:48.579><c> was,</c><00:20:49.380><c> not</c><00:20:49.500><c> as</c><00:20:49.660><c> whether</c><00:20:49.759><c> they</c>

Mordecai's<00:22:50.099><c> hatred</c><00:22:50.400><c> was</c><00:22:50.619><c> because</c><00:22:51.000><c> of</c><00:22:51.160><c> his</c>

But<00:22:53.940><c> he</c><00:22:54.000><c> didn't</c><00:22:54.259><c> hate</c><00:22:54.400><c> him</c><00:22:54.519><c> to</c><00:22:54.619><c> the</c><00:22:54.799><c> extent</c>

00:23:04.299 --> 00:23:05.420
But<00:23:04.519><c> nonetheless,</c><00:23:05.019><c> the</c><00:23:05.160><c> hatred</c>

00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:17.599
One,<00:23:16.059><c> because</c><00:23:16.299><c> as</c><00:23:16.599><c> a</c><00:23:16.799><c> Jew,</c><00:23:17.119><c> he</c><00:23:17.119><c> was</c><00:23:17.319><c> told</c>

the<00:23:17.819><c> first</c><00:23:18.140><c> commandment</c><00:23:18.740><c> was</c>

00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:21.579
that<00:23:19.500><c> he</c><00:23:19.599><c> was</c><00:23:19.779><c> to</c><00:23:19.940><c> worship</c><00:23:20.380><c> none,</c><00:23:21.079><c> and</c><00:23:21.180><c> to</c><00:23:21.400><c> bow</c>

00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:25.240
Peter<00:23:23.660><c> wouldn't</c><00:23:23.920><c> have</c><00:23:24.079><c> it</c><00:23:24.200><c> from</c><00:23:24.420><c> Cornelius,</c><00:23:25.119><c> would</c><00:23:25.119><c> he?</c>

Stand<00:23:25.619><c> up,</c><00:23:25.819><c> he</c><00:23:25.900><c> said,</c><00:23:26.019><c> I'm</c><00:23:26.240><c> a</c><00:23:26.420><c> man.</c>

00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:29.680
When<00:23:28.140><c> Cornelius</c><00:23:28.579><c> wanted</c><00:23:28.759><c> to</c><00:23:28.940><c> bow</c><00:23:29.079><c> before</c><00:23:29.420><c> Peter,</c>

00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:31.200
Peter<00:23:29.920><c> wouldn't</c><00:23:30.180><c> have</c><00:23:30.380><c> it.</c>

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:33.200
Being<00:23:31.519><c> a</c><00:23:31.759><c> Jew,</c><00:23:31.940><c> he</c><00:23:32.039><c> understood</c><00:23:32.319><c> the</c><00:23:32.500><c> first</c><00:23:32.799><c> commandment.</c>

00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:35.599
You<00:23:33.299><c> don't</c><00:23:33.480><c> worship</c><00:23:33.880><c> anyone</c><00:23:34.259><c> except</c><00:23:34.599><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:23:35.859 --> 00:23:37.859
That's<00:23:36.220><c> the</c><00:23:36.440><c> first</c><00:23:36.720><c> reason</c><00:23:36.960><c> he</c><00:23:37.059><c> wouldn't</c><00:23:37.319><c> worship</c><00:23:37.660><c> him.</c>

00:23:38.099 --> 00:23:39.799
The<00:23:38.339><c> second</c><00:23:38.539><c> one</c><00:23:38.779><c> was,</c><00:23:39.200><c> brethren</c><00:23:39.299><c> and</c><00:23:39.579><c> sisters,</c>

00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:42.420
because<00:23:40.440><c> he</c><00:23:40.619><c> was,</c><00:23:40.960><c> of</c><00:23:41.140><c> course,</c><00:23:41.519><c> an</c><00:23:41.680><c> agogite.</c>

00:23:43.500 --> 00:23:45.400
He<00:23:43.759><c> was</c><00:23:43.980><c> a</c><00:23:44.140><c> Jew's</c><00:23:44.500><c> enemy.</c>

00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:48.119
Haman<00:23:45.640><c> would</c><00:23:45.920><c> not</c><00:23:46.220><c> bow</c><00:23:46.380><c> in</c><00:23:46.599><c> reverence</c><00:23:46.900><c> such</c><00:23:47.140><c> a</c><00:23:47.319><c> man.</c>

00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:49.859
And<00:23:48.359><c> so</c><00:23:48.480><c> there</c><00:23:48.599><c> were</c><00:23:49.019><c> those</c><00:23:49.240><c> two</c><00:23:49.539><c> reasons.</c>

00:23:50.019 --> 00:23:51.839
And<00:23:50.220><c> the</c><00:23:50.420><c> third</c><00:23:50.619><c> reason</c><00:23:50.900><c> was,</c><00:23:51.440><c> because</c>

00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:54.460
God<00:23:52.160><c> had</c><00:23:52.579><c> cursed</c><00:23:53.059><c> the</c><00:23:53.259><c> Amalekites.</c>

00:23:55.259 --> 00:23:57.099
So<00:23:55.559><c> he</c><00:23:55.700><c> was</c><00:23:55.920><c> a</c><00:23:56.019><c> man</c><00:23:56.220><c> of</c><00:23:56.339><c> God's</c><00:23:56.779><c> curse,</c>

00:23:57.259 --> 00:23:59.339
he<00:23:57.400><c> was</c><00:23:57.579><c> the</c><00:23:57.759><c> Jew's</c><00:23:58.160><c> enemy,</c><00:23:58.400><c> and</c><00:23:58.539><c> he</c><00:23:58.619><c> was</c><00:23:58.920><c> a</c><00:23:59.140><c> man</c>

00:23:59.339 --> 00:24:01.819
and<00:23:59.539><c> not</c><00:23:59.880><c> God.</c><00:24:00.519><c> And</c><00:24:00.759><c> therefore,</c><00:24:01.079><c> being</c><00:24:01.460><c> a</c><00:24:01.680><c> Jew,</c>

00:24:01.980 --> 00:24:03.960
he<00:24:02.019><c> had</c><00:24:02.400><c> sound</c><00:24:02.839><c> religious</c><00:24:03.579><c> reasons</c>

00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:06.420
why<00:24:04.200><c> he</c><00:24:04.279><c> would</c><00:24:04.559><c> not</c><00:24:04.839><c> bow</c><00:24:05.099><c> to</c><00:24:05.299><c> that</c><00:24:05.539><c> man.</c>

00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:09.779
And<00:24:07.839><c> of</c><00:24:08.059><c> course,</c><00:24:08.259><c> when</c><00:24:08.400><c> they</c><00:24:08.660><c> told</c><00:24:08.880><c> Haman</c>

00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:12.059
that<00:24:10.759><c> not</c><00:24:11.000><c> only</c><00:24:11.380><c> was</c><00:24:11.640><c> Mordecai</c>

00:24:12.059 --> 00:24:14.480
refusing<00:24:12.539><c> to</c><00:24:12.799><c> bow,</c><00:24:12.980><c> but</c><00:24:13.059><c> he</c><00:24:13.140><c> was</c><00:24:13.400><c> a</c><00:24:13.640><c> Jew,</c>

00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:23.859
And<00:24:21.579><c> we</c><00:24:21.799><c> read</c><00:24:22.019><c> these</c><00:24:22.339><c> words</c><00:24:22.599><c> in</c><00:24:22.839><c> verse</c><00:24:23.099><c> 6</c>

wherefore<00:24:32.000><c> Haman</c><00:24:32.400><c> sought</c><00:24:32.660><c> to</c><00:24:32.900><c> destroy</c>
