00:08:03.540 --> 00:08:07.079
And<00:08:03.660><c> so</c><00:08:03.839><c> God</c><00:08:04.300><c> scrubs</c><00:08:04.819><c> them</c><00:08:05.019><c> out</c><00:08:05.560><c> of</c><00:08:05.779><c> the</c><00:08:05.920><c> line</c><00:08:06.060><c> of</c><00:08:06.300><c> David.</c>

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:15.700
Now<00:21:12.839><c> you</c><00:21:12.900><c> know</c><00:21:13.079><c> the</c><00:21:13.279><c> story,</c><00:21:13.579><c> verse</c><00:21:13.819><c> 9,</c><00:21:14.279><c> Exodus</c><00:21:14.480><c> 24.</c>

00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.420
Then<00:21:15.839><c> went</c><00:21:15.980><c> up</c><00:21:16.200><c> Moses</c><00:21:16.619><c> and</c><00:21:16.839><c> Aaron,</c><00:21:17.240><c> Nadab</c><00:21:17.539><c> and</c><00:21:17.640><c> Abihu</c><00:21:18.019><c> and</c><00:21:18.220><c> the</c>

The<00:21:47.680><c> greatest</c><00:21:47.960><c> of</c><00:21:48.200><c> them</c><00:21:48.420><c> is</c><00:21:48.680><c> the</c><00:21:48.819><c> man</c><00:21:48.940><c> we're</c><00:21:49.200><c> remembering.</c>

00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:53.680
So<00:21:51.680><c> we're</c><00:21:52.079><c> going</c><00:21:52.099><c> to</c><00:21:52.200><c> be</c><00:21:52.319><c> doing</c><00:21:52.480><c> exactly</c><00:21:52.880><c> the</c><00:21:52.980><c> same</c><00:21:53.279><c> thing.</c>

00:21:53.940 --> 00:21:55.319
You<00:21:54.000><c> know,</c><00:21:54.140><c> when</c><00:21:54.279><c> you're</c><00:21:54.420><c> in</c><00:21:54.519><c> the</c><00:21:54.680><c> presence</c><00:21:54.880><c> of</c><00:21:55.119><c> Christ,</c>

00:21:59.460 --> 00:22:03.079
you're<00:21:59.720><c> in</c><00:21:59.880><c> the</c><00:22:00.039><c> presence</c><00:22:00.259><c> of</c><00:22:00.519><c> God,</c><00:22:01.880><c> aren't</c><00:22:02.079><c> you?</c>

00:22:03.180 --> 00:22:05.160
You're<00:22:03.400><c> in</c><00:22:03.559><c> the</c><00:22:03.680><c> presence</c><00:22:03.880><c> of</c><00:22:04.099><c> God,</c>

00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:07.660

00:22:07.859 --> 00:22:10.180
And<00:22:08.079><c> that's</c><00:22:08.259><c> what's</c><00:22:08.400><c> happening</c><00:22:08.660><c> here,</c><00:22:09.099><c> these</c><00:22:09.420><c> seventy</c><00:22:09.859><c> elders.</c>

00:22:10.299 --> 00:22:11.980
Why<00:22:10.579><c> seventy,</c><00:22:10.799><c> do</c><00:22:10.940><c> you</c><00:22:11.059><c> think?</c>

00:22:12.579 --> 00:22:14.539
Well,<00:22:12.980><c> that's</c><00:22:13.380><c> the</c><00:22:13.420><c> number</c><00:22:13.579><c> of</c><00:22:13.700><c> the</c><00:22:13.900><c> nations,</c><00:22:14.140><c> you</c><00:22:14.400><c> see.</c>

00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:17.380
It<00:22:15.079><c> points</c><00:22:15.359><c> forward</c><00:22:15.700><c> to</c><00:22:15.880><c> the</c><00:22:16.039><c> gathering</c><00:22:16.359><c> in</c><00:22:16.559><c> of</c><00:22:16.720><c> all</c><00:22:16.920><c> peoples</c>

00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:24.980
Yeah,<00:22:23.500><c> but</c><00:22:23.640><c> then</c><00:22:23.799><c> what</c><00:22:23.960><c> happens?</c>

00:22:25.940 --> 00:22:26.859
Verse<00:22:26.400><c> 12.</c>

00:22:27.339 --> 00:22:28.220
Yahweh<00:22:27.519><c> said</c><00:22:27.680><c> unto</c><00:22:27.839><c> Moses,</c>

00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:30.400
Come<00:22:28.480><c> up</c><00:22:28.680><c> to</c><00:22:28.839><c> me</c><00:22:28.980><c> into</c><00:22:29.180><c> the</c><00:22:29.400><c> mount</c><00:22:29.599><c> and</c><00:22:29.740><c> be</c><00:22:30.079><c> there,</c>

00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:40.440
And<00:22:37.660><c> Moses</c><00:22:37.980><c> rose</c><00:22:38.299><c> up,</c><00:22:38.839><c> and</c><00:22:38.900><c> his</c><00:22:39.079><c> minister</c><00:22:39.420><c> Joshua,</c>

00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:42.960
and<00:22:41.000><c> Moses</c><00:22:41.539><c> went</c><00:22:41.740><c> up</c><00:22:42.059><c> into</c><00:22:42.259><c> the</c><00:22:42.460><c> mount</c><00:22:42.579><c> of</c><00:22:42.799><c> God.</c>

00:22:43.220 --> 00:22:45.559
Somewhere<00:22:43.519><c> halfway</c><00:22:43.900><c> up</c><00:22:44.119><c> he</c><00:22:44.220><c> left</c><00:22:44.440><c> Joshua,</c><00:22:45.099><c> of</c><00:22:45.339><c> course,</c>

00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:47.000
and<00:22:45.740><c> he</c><00:22:45.960><c> alone</c><00:22:46.200><c> went</c><00:22:46.400><c> on.</c>

00:22:47.299 --> 00:22:49.119
We<00:22:47.380><c> know</c><00:22:47.500><c> what</c><00:22:47.640><c> happened,</c><00:22:47.920><c> he</c><00:22:47.920><c> was</c><00:22:48.059><c> away</c><00:22:48.240><c> for</c><00:22:48.400><c> forty</c><00:22:48.599><c> days.</c>

00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:52.180
When<00:22:49.640><c> he</c><00:22:49.700><c> comes</c><00:22:50.000><c> back,</c><00:22:50.700><c> they've</c><00:22:51.220><c> built</c><00:22:51.339><c> a</c><00:22:51.599><c> golden</c><00:22:51.819><c> calf,</c>

00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:53.240
they're<00:22:52.440><c> dancing</c><00:22:52.779><c> around</c><00:22:53.099><c> it,</c>

00:22:53.259 --> 00:22:56.480

00:22:57.859 --> 00:22:59.740
Which<00:22:58.019><c> of</c><00:22:58.180><c> course</c><00:22:58.319><c> is</c><00:22:58.480><c> all</c><00:22:58.740><c> parabolic</c>

00:23:03.619 --> 00:23:06.519
When<00:23:03.779><c> he</c><00:23:03.799><c> comes</c><00:23:04.079><c> back,</c><00:23:04.380><c> is</c><00:23:04.440><c> he</c><00:23:04.460><c> going</c><00:23:04.599><c> to</c><00:23:04.660><c> find</c><00:23:04.859><c> his</c><00:23:05.039><c> ecclesia</c>

00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:09.160

00:23:09.819 --> 00:23:11.640
Is<00:23:09.940><c> he</c><00:23:09.940><c> going</c><00:23:10.099><c> to</c><00:23:10.180><c> find</c><00:23:10.380><c> a</c><00:23:10.539><c> brotherhood</c>

00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:13.920
all<00:23:12.140><c> doing</c><00:23:12.380><c> the</c><00:23:12.519><c> right</c><00:23:12.740><c> thing,</c><00:23:13.140><c> you</c><00:23:13.359><c> think?</c>

00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:16.539
Not<00:23:14.559><c> according</c><00:23:14.880><c> to</c><00:23:15.039><c> that</c><00:23:15.240><c> parable.</c>

00:23:17.339 --> 00:23:20.039
So<00:23:17.460><c> we've</c><00:23:17.680><c> got</c><00:23:17.700><c> to</c><00:23:17.920><c> take</c><00:23:18.079><c> that</c><00:23:18.319><c> message</c><00:23:18.599><c> on</c><00:23:18.839><c> board</c><00:23:19.059><c> too.</c>

00:23:20.259 --> 00:23:22.819
So<00:23:20.359><c> this</c><00:23:20.519><c> is</c><00:23:20.740><c> not</c><00:23:20.920><c> an</c><00:23:21.180><c> inconsiderable</c><00:23:22.119><c> absence,</c><00:23:22.720><c> is</c><00:23:22.779><c> it?</c>

00:23:22.819 --> 00:23:24.119
It's<00:23:22.960><c> forty</c><00:23:23.180><c> days.</c>

00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:26.480
We<00:23:24.700><c> read</c><00:23:24.880><c> this</c><00:23:25.119><c> in</c><00:23:25.220><c> verse</c><00:23:25.400><c> 14.</c>

00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:29.579
And<00:23:27.759><c> he</c><00:23:27.920><c> said</c><00:23:28.079><c> unto</c><00:23:28.279><c> the</c><00:23:28.559><c> elders,</c>

00:23:29.779 --> 00:23:32.480
Tarry<00:23:30.000><c> ye</c><00:23:30.140><c> here</c><00:23:30.359><c> for</c><00:23:30.579><c> us</c><00:23:30.900><c> until</c><00:23:31.279><c> we</c><00:23:31.539><c> come</c><00:23:31.799><c> again</c><00:23:32.119><c> unto</c><00:23:32.339><c> you.</c>

00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:34.220
He<00:23:32.559><c> means</c><00:23:32.779><c> himself</c><00:23:33.160><c> and</c><00:23:33.339><c> Joshua.</c>

00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:39.819
And<00:23:35.799><c> behold,</c><00:23:36.960><c> Aaron</c><00:23:37.140><c> and</c><00:23:37.640><c> her</c><00:23:37.940><c> are</c><00:23:38.440><c> with</c><00:23:38.720><c> you.</c>

00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:44.380
If<00:23:40.980><c> any</c><00:23:41.359><c> man</c><00:23:41.900><c> have</c><00:23:42.519><c> any</c><00:23:42.799><c> matters</c><00:23:42.960><c> to</c><00:23:43.240><c> do,</c>

00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:46.400
let<00:23:44.740><c> him</c><00:23:44.920><c> come</c><00:23:45.119><c> to</c><00:23:45.279><c> them.</c>

00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:51.079
So<00:23:47.440><c> Moses</c><00:23:47.920><c> gives</c><00:23:48.519><c> equal</c><00:23:49.140><c> authority</c><00:23:49.980><c> to</c><00:23:50.720><c> her</c>

00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:53.119
as<00:23:51.779><c> he</c><00:23:51.880><c> gives</c><00:23:52.119><c> to</c><00:23:52.420><c> Aaron.</c>

00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:56.099
Her<00:23:54.059><c> is</c><00:23:54.380><c> the</c><00:23:54.559><c> leader</c><00:23:55.059><c> of</c><00:23:55.400><c> Israel,</c>

00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:04.420
So<00:23:59.920><c> he's</c><00:24:00.119><c> no</c><00:24:00.759><c> mean</c><00:24:01.119><c> figure</c><00:24:01.640><c> in</c><00:24:02.480><c> the</c><00:24:02.740><c> scheme</c><00:24:03.140><c> of</c><00:24:03.480><c> things,</c>

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:10.200
So<00:24:07.480><c> with</c><00:24:07.740><c> that</c><00:24:07.859><c> as</c><00:24:07.980><c> a</c><00:24:08.019><c> bit</c><00:24:08.119><c> of</c><00:24:08.279><c> a</c><00:24:08.380><c> background,</c><00:24:08.859><c> brothers</c><00:24:08.980><c> and</c><00:24:09.240><c> sisters,</c>

00:24:10.980 --> 00:24:15.880

00:24:23.859 --> 00:24:27.299
Because<00:24:24.140><c> we're</c><00:24:24.339><c> going</c><00:24:24.400><c> to</c><00:24:24.519><c> meet</c><00:24:24.640><c> him</c><00:24:24.799><c> again</c><00:24:25.259><c> in</c><00:24:25.599><c> this</c><00:24:25.819><c> chapter.</c>

00:24:30.660 --> 00:24:35.759
Israel,<00:24:31.900><c> on</c><00:24:32.200><c> their</c><00:24:32.380><c> way</c><00:24:32.920><c> from</c><00:24:33.519><c> Egypt</c><00:24:33.920><c> to</c><00:24:34.220><c> the</c><00:24:34.279><c> land</c><00:24:34.579><c> of</c><00:24:34.799><c> promise,</c>

00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:48.480
We<00:24:44.259><c> read</c><00:24:44.440><c> of</c><00:24:44.539><c> the</c><00:24:44.640><c> record</c><00:24:44.980><c> in</c><00:24:45.200><c> Exodus</c><00:24:45.480><c> chapter</c><00:24:45.839><c> 17</c><00:24:46.359><c> and</c><00:24:46.519><c> at</c><00:24:46.660><c> verse</c><00:24:46.880><c> 1.</c>

00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:50.519
And<00:24:48.619><c> all</c><00:24:48.940><c> the</c><00:24:49.180><c> congregation</c><00:24:49.680><c> of</c><00:24:49.819><c> the</c><00:24:49.960><c> children</c><00:24:50.140><c> of</c><00:24:50.220><c> Israel</c>

00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:52.220
journeyed<00:24:51.000><c> from</c><00:24:51.099><c> the</c><00:24:51.259><c> wilderness</c><00:24:51.559><c> of</c><00:24:51.839><c> sin</c>

00:24:56.779 --> 00:25:00.039
Now<00:24:57.380><c> Rephidim</c><00:24:57.680><c> means</c><00:24:58.440><c> balustrades.</c>

00:25:00.259 --> 00:25:02.279
You<00:25:00.359><c> know</c><00:25:00.359><c> what</c><00:25:00.440><c> a</c><00:25:00.720><c> balustrade</c><00:25:01.200><c> is?</c>

00:25:04.259 --> 00:25:06.539
You're<00:25:04.740><c> going</c><00:25:05.000><c> up</c><00:25:05.180><c> a</c><00:25:05.180><c> set</c><00:25:05.380><c> of</c><00:25:05.519><c> stairs.</c>

00:25:06.660 --> 00:25:09.259
There's<00:25:07.079><c> a</c><00:25:07.240><c> railing,</c><00:25:08.200><c> or</c><00:25:08.339><c> you're</c><00:25:08.460><c> on</c><00:25:08.619><c> a</c><00:25:08.880><c> rooftop.</c>

00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:13.180
There's<00:25:09.960><c> a</c><00:25:10.119><c> balustrade,</c><00:25:10.700><c> it's</c><00:25:10.940><c> a</c><00:25:11.000><c> means</c><00:25:11.259><c> of</c><00:25:11.740><c> giving</c><00:25:12.019><c> support.</c>

00:25:13.859 --> 00:25:16.759
So<00:25:14.000><c> here</c><00:25:14.140><c> was</c><00:25:14.380><c> a</c><00:25:14.480><c> place</c><00:25:14.779><c> where</c><00:25:15.279><c> they</c><00:25:15.480><c> would</c><00:25:15.660><c> get</c><00:25:15.900><c> support</c><00:25:16.400><c> from</c>

00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:17.180
their<00:25:17.000><c> God,</c>

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:18.259
but<00:25:17.400><c> they're</c><00:25:17.720><c> tested</c><00:25:17.900><c> here.</c>

00:25:18.380 --> 00:25:19.900
We<00:25:18.539><c> know,</c><00:25:18.740><c> they're</c><00:25:18.920><c> tested.</c>

00:25:20.339 --> 00:25:23.019
Because<00:25:20.819><c> there's</c><00:25:21.160><c> no</c><00:25:21.579><c> water,</c><00:25:22.019><c> at</c><00:25:22.240><c> the</c><00:25:22.359><c> end</c><00:25:22.519><c> of</c><00:25:22.640><c> verse</c><00:25:22.839><c> 1,</c>

00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:27.220
And<00:25:24.140><c> they</c><00:25:24.339><c> chide</c><00:25:24.799><c> with</c><00:25:25.000><c> Moses</c><00:25:25.339><c> in</c><00:25:25.519><c> verse</c><00:25:25.859><c> 2.</c>

00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:28.700
And<00:25:27.480><c> we</c><00:25:27.539><c> know</c><00:25:27.759><c> what</c><00:25:27.960><c> happens.</c>

00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:30.759
Verse<00:25:29.240><c> 5.</c>

00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:32.500
And<00:25:31.279><c> Yahweh</c><00:25:31.599><c> said</c><00:25:31.799><c> unto</c><00:25:32.019><c> Moses,</c>

00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:34.240
Go<00:25:32.839><c> on</c><00:25:33.140><c> before</c><00:25:33.440><c> the</c><00:25:33.660><c> people,</c>

00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:38.000

00:25:43.339 --> 00:25:44.920
Let's<00:25:43.599><c> pause</c><00:25:43.920><c> there.</c>

00:25:45.579 --> 00:25:49.700
So<00:25:45.779><c> Moses</c><00:25:46.160><c> the</c><00:25:46.380><c> lawgiver,</c><00:25:47.900><c> as</c><00:25:48.059><c> he's</c><00:25:48.299><c> going</c><00:25:48.480><c> to</c><00:25:48.680><c> be,</c>

00:25:49.940 --> 00:25:51.299
takes<00:25:50.220><c> hold</c><00:25:50.619><c> of</c><00:25:50.900><c> the</c><00:25:51.099><c> rod.</c>

00:25:51.420 --> 00:25:53.059
Now<00:25:51.640><c> what</c><00:25:51.799><c> rod</c><00:25:52.000><c> was</c><00:25:52.220><c> this?</c>

00:25:53.460 --> 00:25:55.799
Well,<00:25:54.039><c> it's</c><00:25:54.160><c> the</c><00:25:54.279><c> one</c><00:25:54.440><c> that</c><00:25:54.539><c> he</c><00:25:54.799><c> cast</c><00:25:55.000><c> before</c><00:25:55.460><c> Pharaoh,</c>

00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:57.380
and<00:25:55.960><c> it</c><00:25:56.039><c> became</c><00:25:56.299><c> a</c><00:25:56.539><c> serpent.</c>

00:25:59.140 --> 00:26:00.960
Then<00:25:59.240><c> he</c><00:25:59.299><c> put</c><00:25:59.460><c> his</c><00:25:59.660><c> hand</c><00:25:59.819><c> on</c><00:25:59.960><c> its</c><00:26:00.160><c> tail</c><00:26:00.400><c> and</c><00:26:00.559><c> picked</c><00:26:00.720><c> it</c><00:26:00.839><c> up,</c>

00:26:01.019 --> 00:26:02.299
and<00:26:01.039><c> it</c><00:26:01.140><c> became</c><00:26:01.400><c> a</c><00:26:01.579><c> rod.</c>

00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:05.380
It's<00:26:03.920><c> a</c><00:26:04.099><c> serpent</c><00:26:04.460><c> rod.</c>

00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:09.160

The<00:26:11.099><c> instrument</c><00:26:11.660><c> of</c><00:26:12.079><c> crucifixion.</c>

00:26:13.700 --> 00:26:15.039
How<00:26:13.940><c> can</c><00:26:14.099><c> we</c><00:26:14.259><c> say</c><00:26:14.519><c> that?</c>

00:26:15.420 --> 00:26:18.039
Well,<00:26:15.599><c> we</c><00:26:15.660><c> can</c><00:26:15.900><c> say</c><00:26:16.059><c> it</c><00:26:16.220><c> because</c><00:26:16.380><c> we</c><00:26:16.599><c> read</c><00:26:16.759><c> the</c><00:26:16.880><c> next</c><00:26:17.099><c> verse.</c>

00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:21.400
The<00:26:18.839><c> next</c><00:26:19.119><c> verse,</c><00:26:19.400><c> verse</c><00:26:19.660><c> 6,</c><00:26:20.039><c> is</c><00:26:20.200><c> this.</c>

00:26:21.460 --> 00:26:24.599
Behold,<00:26:21.980><c> I</c><00:26:22.460><c> will</c><00:26:22.720><c> stand</c><00:26:23.059><c> before</c><00:26:23.480><c> thee</c><00:26:23.859><c> upon</c><00:26:24.140><c> the</c><00:26:24.359><c> rock.</c>

00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:26.900
So<00:26:25.200><c> here</c><00:26:25.359><c> is</c><00:26:25.559><c> the</c><00:26:25.680><c> angel</c><00:26:25.940><c> of</c><00:26:26.160><c> Yahweh's</c><00:26:26.660><c> presence</c>

00:26:26.900 --> 00:26:30.539
who's<00:26:27.079><c> going</c><00:26:27.200><c> to</c><00:26:27.400><c> stand</c><00:26:27.539><c> upon</c><00:26:27.799><c> the</c><00:26:27.980><c> rock</c><00:26:28.160><c> to</c><00:26:28.380><c> identify</c><00:26:28.920><c> with</c><00:26:29.160><c> it.</c>

00:26:30.619 --> 00:26:33.779
Now<00:26:30.720><c> this</c><00:26:30.839><c> word</c><00:26:31.079><c> rock</c><00:26:31.359><c> here,</c><00:26:31.660><c> as</c><00:26:31.779><c> you're</c><00:26:31.960><c> probably</c><00:26:32.299><c> aware,</c><00:26:32.980><c> is</c><00:26:32.980><c> zer.</c>

00:26:33.859 --> 00:26:38.000
It<00:26:33.900><c> means</c><00:26:34.119><c> a</c><00:26:34.440><c> huge</c><00:26:34.799><c> boulder</c><00:26:35.400><c> under</c><00:26:35.880><c> which</c><00:26:36.039><c> you</c><00:26:36.180><c> can</c><00:26:36.460><c> take</c><00:26:36.720><c> some</c><00:26:36.960><c> protection.</c>

00:26:44.660 --> 00:26:46.940
Now<00:26:44.940><c> you</c><00:26:45.119><c> recall</c><00:26:45.440><c> the</c><00:26:45.640><c> words,</c><00:26:45.859><c> don't</c><00:26:46.079><c> you,</c><00:26:46.180><c> brothers</c><00:26:46.400><c> and</c><00:26:46.640><c> sisters,</c>

00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:54.880
Why<00:26:52.779><c> don't</c><00:26:52.880><c> you</c><00:26:52.980><c> keep</c><00:26:53.200><c> your</c><00:26:53.420><c> hand</c><00:26:53.799><c> in</c><00:26:54.059><c> Exodus</c><00:26:54.339><c> 17,</c>

00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:12.420
1<00:27:10.380><c> Corinthians</c><00:27:10.759><c> 10,</c><00:27:11.099><c> in</c><00:27:11.200><c> verse</c><00:27:11.480><c> 1,</c>

00:27:12.539 --> 00:27:13.839
Paul<00:27:12.779><c> writing</c><00:27:13.019><c> to</c><00:27:13.180><c> the</c><00:27:13.319><c> Kryptonians</c><00:27:13.619><c> says,</c>

00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:16.480
Moreover,<00:27:14.579><c> brethren,</c><00:27:14.940><c> I</c><00:27:14.960><c> would</c><00:27:15.220><c> not</c><00:27:15.440><c> that</c><00:27:15.579><c> ye</c><00:27:15.779><c> should</c><00:27:15.920><c> be</c><00:27:16.140><c> ignorant</c>

00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:20.200
how<00:27:16.700><c> that</c><00:27:16.940><c> all</c><00:27:17.400><c> of</c><00:27:17.559><c> our</c><00:27:17.759><c> fathers</c><00:27:18.180><c> were</c><00:27:18.460><c> under</c><00:27:18.940><c> the</c><00:27:19.180><c> cloud,</c>

00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:23.279
and<00:27:20.779><c> all</c><00:27:21.240><c> passed</c><00:27:21.660><c> through</c><00:27:22.099><c> the</c><00:27:22.319><c> sea,</c>

00:27:23.740 --> 00:27:27.880
and<00:27:23.799><c> were</c><00:27:24.000><c> all</c><00:27:24.319><c> baptized</c><00:27:24.819><c> unto</c><00:27:25.099><c> Moses</c><00:27:25.759><c> in</c><00:27:26.400><c> the</c><00:27:26.539><c> cloud,</c><00:27:27.339><c> in</c><00:27:27.440><c> the</c><00:27:27.559><c> sea.</c>

00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:29.640
So<00:27:28.319><c> they</c><00:27:28.440><c> had</c><00:27:28.559><c> a</c><00:27:28.740><c> baptism.</c>

00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:32.359
Because<00:27:30.400><c> they</c><00:27:30.519><c> had</c><00:27:30.640><c> a</c><00:27:30.839><c> cloud,</c><00:27:31.220><c> which</c><00:27:31.339><c> is</c><00:27:31.519><c> water,</c><00:27:31.980><c> above,</c>

00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:34.339
they<00:27:32.859><c> had</c><00:27:33.039><c> the</c><00:27:33.259><c> walls</c><00:27:33.599><c> beside</c><00:27:34.079><c> them,</c>

00:27:34.420 --> 00:27:37.019
and<00:27:34.599><c> they</c><00:27:34.660><c> had</c><00:27:34.839><c> the</c><00:27:35.039><c> damp</c><00:27:35.279><c> sand</c><00:27:36.160><c> beneath</c><00:27:36.700><c> them.</c>

00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:38.880
They<00:27:37.480><c> were</c><00:27:37.660><c> surrounded</c><00:27:38.140><c> by</c><00:27:38.440><c> water.</c>

00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:44.140
They<00:27:39.799><c> were</c><00:27:40.119><c> baptized</c><00:27:40.720><c> in</c><00:27:40.940><c> the</c><00:27:41.119><c> Red</c><00:27:41.480><c> Sea</c><00:27:42.160><c> unto</c><00:27:43.180><c> Moses.</c>

00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:45.400
And<00:27:44.319><c> of</c><00:27:44.460><c> course,</c><00:27:44.680><c> it's</c><00:27:44.859><c> all</c><00:27:45.079><c> a</c><00:27:45.259><c> type.</c>

00:27:45.460 --> 00:27:47.660
He<00:27:45.599><c> says</c><00:27:45.799><c> in</c><00:27:45.940><c> this</c><00:27:46.119><c> chapter,</c><00:27:46.460><c> these</c><00:27:46.619><c> things</c><00:27:46.960><c> were</c><00:27:47.240><c> types.</c>

00:27:48.140 --> 00:27:51.640
They<00:27:48.200><c> were</c><00:27:48.440><c> designed</c><00:27:48.640><c> to</c><00:27:48.900><c> teach</c><00:27:49.079><c> you</c><00:27:49.299><c> something</c><00:27:49.599><c> about</c><00:27:50.619><c> your</c><00:27:51.160><c> life</c>

00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:55.700
in<00:27:52.119><c> the</c><00:27:52.259><c> wilderness</c><00:27:52.539><c> from</c><00:27:52.900><c> baptism</c><00:27:53.480><c> until</c><00:27:54.019><c> you</c><00:27:54.299><c> reach</c><00:27:54.579><c> the</c><00:27:54.839><c> land</c><00:27:55.099><c> of</c><00:27:55.420><c> promise.</c>

00:27:56.180 --> 00:27:58.920
But<00:27:56.259><c> then</c><00:27:56.359><c> he</c><00:27:56.420><c> goes</c><00:27:56.539><c> on</c><00:27:56.660><c> to</c><00:27:56.799><c> say</c><00:27:56.900><c> this,</c><00:27:57.720><c> verse</c><00:27:57.900><c> 3,</c>

00:27:59.339 --> 00:28:02.180
They<00:27:59.400><c> did</c><00:27:59.619><c> all</c><00:27:59.799><c> eat</c><00:28:00.000><c> the</c><00:28:00.220><c> same</c><00:28:00.559><c> spiritual</c><00:28:01.140><c> food,</c>

00:28:02.299 --> 00:28:05.140
and<00:28:02.819><c> did</c><00:28:03.000><c> all</c><00:28:03.259><c> drink</c><00:28:03.539><c> the</c><00:28:03.779><c> same</c><00:28:04.140><c> spiritual</c><00:28:04.660><c> drink.</c>

00:28:05.140 --> 00:28:11.660
For<00:28:06.019><c> they</c><00:28:06.220><c> drank</c><00:28:06.700><c> of</c><00:28:06.880><c> that</c><00:28:07.279><c> spiritual</c><00:28:08.140><c> rock</c><00:28:08.599><c> that</c><00:28:09.579><c> followed</c><00:28:10.339><c> them.</c>

00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.039
And<00:28:12.019><c> that</c><00:28:12.259><c> rock</c><00:28:12.900><c> was</c><00:28:13.799><c> Christ.</c>

00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:18.240
Now<00:28:15.920><c> there</c><00:28:16.019><c> are</c><00:28:16.180><c> some</c><00:28:16.339><c> who</c><00:28:16.440><c> believe</c><00:28:16.799><c> that</c><00:28:17.000><c> the</c><00:28:17.079><c> water</c><00:28:17.299><c> that</c><00:28:17.500><c> came</c><00:28:17.740><c> out</c><00:28:18.099><c> of</c>

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:18.599
the<00:28:18.380><c> rock</c>

00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:21.019
struck<00:28:18.940><c> at</c><00:28:19.140><c> Horeb</c><00:28:19.759><c> followed</c><00:28:20.019><c> Israel</c><00:28:20.380><c> through</c><00:28:20.619><c> the</c><00:28:20.759><c> wilderness.</c>

00:28:21.180 --> 00:28:23.740
I<00:28:21.259><c> don't</c><00:28:21.519><c> personally</c><00:28:22.039><c> subscribe</c><00:28:22.599><c> to</c><00:28:22.799><c> that.</c>

00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:26.579
I<00:28:24.640><c> believe</c><00:28:24.819><c> this</c><00:28:25.000><c> is</c><00:28:25.119><c> very</c><00:28:25.420><c> simple.</c>

00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:30.700
Because<00:28:27.220><c> you</c><00:28:27.279><c> see,</c><00:28:27.640><c> Israel's</c><00:28:28.480><c> history</c><00:28:28.799><c> was</c><00:28:29.259><c> bounded</c><00:28:29.680><c> by</c><00:28:30.079><c> two</c><00:28:30.400><c> rocks.</c>

00:28:30.779 --> 00:28:33.880
They<00:28:30.920><c> were</c><00:28:31.220><c> different</c><00:28:31.839><c> kinds</c><00:28:32.539><c> of</c><00:28:33.000><c> rock.</c>

00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:38.299
The<00:28:35.000><c> one</c><00:28:35.140><c> they</c><00:28:35.339><c> meet</c><00:28:35.500><c> here</c><00:28:35.740><c> at</c><00:28:35.960><c> Rephidim</c><00:28:36.480><c> is</c><00:28:37.279><c> a</c><00:28:37.579><c> zer.</c>

In<00:28:39.180><c> other</c><00:28:39.279><c> words,</c><00:28:39.420><c> it's</c><00:28:39.599><c> a</c><00:28:39.720><c> big</c><00:28:39.980><c> boulder,</c>

00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:43.400
but<00:28:40.500><c> you</c><00:28:40.660><c> can</c><00:28:40.880><c> walk</c><00:28:41.059><c> up</c><00:28:41.299><c> to</c><00:28:41.400><c> it</c><00:28:41.519><c> and</c><00:28:41.680><c> hit</c><00:28:41.819><c> it</c><00:28:41.960><c> with</c><00:28:42.140><c> a</c><00:28:42.319><c> stick.</c>

00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:45.559
All<00:28:44.599><c> right?</c>

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:48.319
But<00:28:46.279><c> 40</c><00:28:46.500><c> years</c><00:28:46.779><c> later,</c><00:28:47.079><c> they</c><00:28:47.279><c> come</c><00:28:47.480><c> to</c><00:28:47.680><c> another</c><00:28:47.920><c> one.</c>

00:28:48.700 --> 00:28:49.839
But<00:28:48.839><c> this</c><00:28:49.059><c> one's</c><00:28:49.279><c> not</c><00:28:49.460><c> a</c><00:28:49.619><c> zer.</c>

00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:51.619

There<00:32:14.660><c> was</c><00:32:14.859><c> a</c><00:32:15.000><c> representation</c><00:32:15.640><c> of</c><00:32:15.940><c> the</c><00:32:16.140><c> crucifixion</c><00:32:16.700><c> of</c><00:32:16.859><c> Christ.</c>

00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:19.259
Here<00:32:17.960><c> was</c><00:32:18.140><c> a</c><00:32:18.279><c> rock</c><00:32:18.420><c> that</c><00:32:18.539><c> could</c><00:32:18.740><c> be</c><00:32:19.059><c> struck.</c>

00:32:19.380 --> 00:32:20.940
It<00:32:19.460><c> was</c><00:32:19.819><c> struck</c><00:32:20.000><c> with</c><00:32:20.220><c> a</c><00:32:20.400><c> serpent</c><00:32:20.640><c> rod.</c>

00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:22.880
It<00:32:21.359><c> represents</c><00:32:21.740><c> the</c><00:32:22.000><c> crucifixion</c><00:32:22.480><c> of</c><00:32:22.579><c> Christ,</c>

00:32:23.019 --> 00:32:25.220
and<00:32:23.160><c> out</c><00:32:23.359><c> of</c><00:32:23.480><c> him</c><00:32:23.720><c> flows</c><00:32:23.980><c> living</c><00:32:24.259><c> water</c><00:32:24.579><c> to</c><00:32:24.779><c> give</c><00:32:24.900><c> life</c>

00:32:25.220 --> 00:32:27.279
to<00:32:25.339><c> those</c><00:32:25.599><c> who</c><00:32:25.720><c> would</c><00:32:25.900><c> come</c><00:32:26.039><c> to</c><00:32:26.119><c> him.</c>

00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:28.680
Got<00:32:27.700><c> it?</c>

00:32:29.180 --> 00:32:32.039
But<00:32:29.440><c> 40</c><00:32:29.660><c> years</c><00:32:29.880><c> later,</c><00:32:31.240><c> there's</c><00:32:31.460><c> a</c><00:32:31.660><c> Silah,</c>

00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:36.519
this<00:32:32.579><c> inaccessible</c><00:32:33.599><c> rock</c><00:32:33.819><c> that</c><00:32:34.000><c> has</c><00:32:34.160><c> to</c><00:32:34.359><c> be</c><00:32:34.700><c> spoken</c><00:32:35.039><c> to.</c>

00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:38.440
And<00:32:37.079><c> in</c><00:32:37.259><c> a</c><00:32:37.500><c> figure,</c><00:32:37.779><c> in</c><00:32:38.000><c> a</c><00:32:38.220><c> type,</c>

00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:42.680
Moses<00:32:39.019><c> crucifies</c><00:32:39.900><c> the</c><00:32:40.119><c> Son</c><00:32:40.319><c> of</c><00:32:40.480><c> God</c><00:32:41.099><c> afresh.</c>

00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:45.619
Now<00:32:43.960><c> you</c><00:32:44.019><c> can't</c><00:32:44.299><c> do</c><00:32:44.559><c> that.</c>

00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:48.180
You<00:32:46.720><c> can't</c><00:32:47.059><c> do</c><00:32:47.299><c> that.</c>

00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:50.200
And<00:32:48.940><c> so</c><00:32:49.140><c> Yahweh</c><00:32:49.380><c> says</c><00:32:49.619><c> to</c><00:32:49.740><c> him,</c>

00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:52.740
for<00:32:50.720><c> the</c><00:32:50.880><c> time</c><00:32:51.119><c> being,</c><00:32:51.359><c> you're</c><00:32:51.380><c> not</c><00:32:51.579><c> going</c><00:32:51.799><c> in.</c>

00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:54.619
You're<00:32:53.759><c> not</c><00:32:53.980><c> going</c><00:32:54.259><c> in.</c>

00:32:55.059 --> 00:32:57.779
And<00:32:55.200><c> he</c><00:32:55.299><c> was</c><00:32:55.480><c> repentant.</c><00:32:56.339><c> He</c><00:32:56.519><c> will</c><00:32:56.680><c> be</c><00:32:56.859><c> forgiven.</c>

00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:01.640
You<00:32:59.000><c> speak</c><00:32:59.119><c> a</c><00:32:59.279><c> word</c><00:32:59.420><c> against</c><00:32:59.720><c> God</c><00:33:00.339><c> and</c><00:33:00.960><c> the</c><00:33:01.079><c> Son</c><00:33:01.279><c> of</c><00:33:01.460><c> God,</c>

00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:03.900
and<00:33:01.720><c> you</c><00:33:01.720><c> can</c><00:33:01.880><c> be</c><00:33:02.140><c> forgiven.</c>

00:33:04.380 --> 00:33:05.259
Not<00:33:04.380><c> against</c><00:33:04.660><c> the</c><00:33:04.799><c> Holy</c><00:33:04.980><c> Spirit,</c>

00:33:05.339 --> 00:33:07.799
but<00:33:05.440><c> you</c><00:33:05.460><c> can</c><00:33:05.619><c> be</c><00:33:05.880><c> forgiven</c><00:33:06.140><c> speaking</c><00:33:06.480><c> a</c><00:33:06.640><c> word</c><00:33:06.759><c> against</c><00:33:07.039><c> God</c>

00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:09.420
by<00:33:08.440><c> acknowledgement.</c>

00:33:09.539 --> 00:33:10.880
And<00:33:09.680><c> that's</c><00:33:09.799><c> what</c><00:33:09.920><c> he</c><00:33:10.000><c> does.</c>

00:33:10.940 --> 00:33:12.859
So<00:33:11.059><c> he'll</c><00:33:11.160><c> be</c><00:33:11.220><c> there,</c><00:33:11.819><c> he'll</c><00:33:11.900><c> be</c><00:33:12.059><c> in</c><00:33:12.160><c> the</c><00:33:12.259><c> land</c><00:33:12.400><c> one</c><00:33:12.680><c> day,</c>

00:33:12.859 --> 00:33:14.140
but<00:33:13.019><c> he</c><00:33:13.240><c> couldn't</c><00:33:13.500><c> go</c><00:33:13.779><c> in.</c>

00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:15.759
He<00:33:14.599><c> destroyed</c><00:33:14.779><c> the</c><00:33:15.059><c> type.</c>

00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:18.859
So<00:33:17.259><c> that's</c><00:33:17.539><c> why</c><00:33:17.799><c> this</c><00:33:18.019><c> rock's</c><00:33:18.380><c> so</c><00:33:18.559><c> important.</c>

00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:21.420
It<00:33:19.039><c> was</c><00:33:19.299><c> there</c><00:33:19.500><c> at</c><00:33:19.720><c> the</c><00:33:19.799><c> beginning</c><00:33:20.160><c> and</c><00:33:20.799><c> it</c><00:33:20.819><c> was</c><00:33:20.960><c> there</c><00:33:21.119><c> at</c><00:33:21.259><c> the</c><00:33:21.319><c> end.</c>

00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:22.599
Guess<00:33:21.619><c> what,</c><00:33:21.900><c> brothers</c><00:33:22.059><c> and</c><00:33:22.279><c> sisters?</c>

00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:25.140
When<00:33:22.940><c> you</c><00:33:23.099><c> were</c><00:33:23.259><c> baptized,</c><00:33:23.779><c> there</c><00:33:23.940><c> was</c><00:33:24.099><c> a</c><00:33:24.220><c> rock</c><00:33:24.420><c> in</c><00:33:24.680><c> your</c><00:33:24.900><c> life.</c>

00:33:25.380 --> 00:33:26.420
That<00:33:25.640><c> rock</c><00:33:25.859><c> was</c><00:33:26.099><c> Christ.</c>

00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:27.480
He's<00:33:26.740><c> there</c><00:33:26.920><c> at</c><00:33:27.019><c> the</c><00:33:27.160><c> beginning.</c>

00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:29.500
When<00:33:28.220><c> you</c><00:33:28.359><c> get</c><00:33:28.519><c> to</c><00:33:28.619><c> the</c><00:33:28.779><c> judgment</c><00:33:29.059><c> seat,</c>

00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:31.839
he's<00:33:29.900><c> going</c><00:33:30.420><c> to</c><00:33:30.440><c> be</c><00:33:30.559><c> there</c><00:33:30.740><c> again.</c>

00:33:32.180 --> 00:33:33.799
That<00:33:32.200><c> rock</c><00:33:32.500><c> is</c><00:33:32.819><c> Christ.</c>

00:33:34.099 --> 00:33:34.680
He<00:33:34.160><c> followed</c><00:33:34.259><c> you.</c>

00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:36.440
He<00:33:34.960><c> followed</c><00:33:35.059><c> you</c><00:33:35.279><c> through</c><00:33:35.440><c> the</c><00:33:35.579><c> wilderness,</c>

00:33:36.779 --> 00:33:39.240
the<00:33:36.880><c> whole</c><00:33:37.059><c> way</c><00:33:37.500><c> on</c><00:33:38.240><c> this</c><00:33:38.420><c> journey.</c>

00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:41.240
So<00:33:39.740><c> when</c><00:33:39.880><c> you</c><00:33:39.980><c> come</c><00:33:40.180><c> back</c><00:33:40.420><c> to</c><00:33:40.559><c> Exodus</c><00:33:40.759><c> 17,</c>

00:33:41.380 --> 00:33:44.279
you<00:33:41.460><c> can</c><00:33:41.720><c> see</c><00:33:41.880><c> how</c><00:33:42.180><c> significant</c><00:33:42.640><c> this</c><00:33:42.940><c> rock</c><00:33:43.200><c> at</c><00:33:43.359><c> Rephidim</c><00:33:43.680><c> is.</c>

00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:46.660
But<00:33:44.859><c> that's</c><00:33:45.059><c> only</c><00:33:45.279><c> part</c><00:33:45.559><c> of</c><00:33:45.759><c> the</c><00:33:45.880><c> story.</c>

00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:50.539
That's<00:33:48.180><c> not</c><00:33:48.380><c> the</c><00:33:48.400><c> most</c><00:33:48.700><c> exciting</c><00:33:49.059><c> part</c><00:33:49.319><c> of</c><00:33:49.480><c> the</c><00:33:49.660><c> story.</c>

00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:53.000
The<00:33:51.519><c> exciting</c><00:33:51.779><c> part</c><00:33:52.019><c> follows.</c>

00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:57.960
Because<00:33:53.880><c> you</c><00:33:54.059><c> read</c><00:33:54.259><c> in</c><00:33:54.400><c> verse</c><00:33:54.640><c> 8</c><00:33:55.579><c> of</c><00:33:56.440><c> Exodus</c><00:33:56.759><c> 17,</c>

00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:02.640
then<00:33:59.640><c> came</c><00:34:00.079><c> Amalek</c><00:34:00.500><c> and</c><00:34:00.799><c> fought</c><00:34:00.920><c> with</c><00:34:01.140><c> Israel</c><00:34:01.460><c> in</c><00:34:01.779><c> Rephidim.</c>

00:34:03.019 --> 00:34:06.000
So<00:34:03.200><c> as</c><00:34:03.339><c> soon</c><00:34:03.480><c> as</c><00:34:03.640><c> the</c><00:34:03.819><c> water</c><00:34:04.000><c> of</c><00:34:04.240><c> life</c><00:34:04.539><c> is</c><00:34:04.779><c> given</c><00:34:05.119><c> to</c><00:34:05.500><c> Israel,</c>

00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:08.079
guess<00:34:06.299><c> who</c><00:34:06.380><c> wants</c><00:34:06.640><c> to</c><00:34:06.819><c> steal</c><00:34:06.920><c> it</c><00:34:07.099><c> away?</c>

00:34:08.460 --> 00:34:08.980
Amalek.

00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:12.199
Amalek<00:34:09.679><c> the</c><00:34:09.960><c> type</c><00:34:10.139><c> of</c><00:34:10.400><c> the</c><00:34:10.559><c> serpent</c><00:34:10.820><c> in</c><00:34:11.059><c> political</c><00:34:11.440><c> manifestation,</c>

00:34:12.260 --> 00:34:13.760
the<00:34:12.360><c> one</c><00:34:12.460><c> who</c><00:34:12.539><c> went</c><00:34:12.599><c> around</c><00:34:12.900><c> cutting</c><00:34:13.159><c> the</c><00:34:13.480><c> throats</c>

00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:16.159
of<00:34:14.039><c> straggling</c><00:34:14.400><c> Israelites</c><00:34:14.880><c> in</c><00:34:15.500><c> the</c><00:34:15.599><c> wilderness</c><00:34:15.940><c> journey.</c>

00:34:16.260 --> 00:34:17.659
Remember<00:34:16.579><c> him?</c>

00:34:18.179 --> 00:34:20.539
You<00:34:18.300><c> know,</c><00:34:18.380><c> if</c><00:34:18.519><c> you</c><00:34:18.699><c> fell</c><00:34:18.860><c> behind</c><00:34:19.300><c> the</c><00:34:19.500><c> multitude?</c>

00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:24.860
Oh,<00:34:22.519><c> it's</c><00:34:23.039><c> a</c><00:34:23.119><c> long</c><00:34:23.340><c> way</c><00:34:23.579><c> to</c><00:34:23.760><c> the</c><00:34:23.960><c> kingdom.</c>

00:34:25.260 --> 00:34:27.039
And<00:34:25.380><c> I'm</c><00:34:25.579><c> very</c><00:34:26.039><c> tired.</c>

00:34:27.619 --> 00:34:30.500
And<00:34:28.179><c> my</c><00:34:28.400><c> brethren</c><00:34:28.659><c> are</c><00:34:28.840><c> getting</c><00:34:29.059><c> out</c><00:34:29.380><c> of</c><00:34:29.500><c> sight.</c>

00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:33.000
You<00:34:31.099><c> stop</c><00:34:31.280><c> coming</c><00:34:31.519><c> to</c><00:34:31.639><c> the</c><00:34:31.800><c> meetings.</c>

00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:35.880
All<00:34:34.880><c> right?</c>

00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:38.719
And<00:34:37.860><c> then</c><00:34:38.039><c> all</c><00:34:38.139><c> of</c><00:34:38.320><c> a</c><00:34:38.380><c> sudden,</c>

00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:40.960
the<00:34:38.980><c> Amalekite</c><00:34:39.519><c> comes</c><00:34:39.760><c> out</c><00:34:40.000><c> from</c><00:34:40.199><c> behind</c><00:34:40.460><c> the</c><00:34:40.659><c> rock</c>

00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:42.900
and<00:34:42.059><c> cuts</c><00:34:42.199><c> your</c><00:34:42.480><c> throat</c>

00:34:42.900 --> 00:34:45.119
and<00:34:43.480><c> pitches</c><00:34:43.679><c> what</c><00:34:43.960><c> little</c><00:34:44.179><c> you</c><00:34:44.420><c> have.</c>

00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:50.099
That<00:34:47.039><c> happened</c><00:34:47.599><c> to</c><00:34:48.900><c> thousands</c><00:34:49.440><c> of</c><00:34:49.739><c> Israelites</c>

00:34:50.099 --> 00:34:52.000
in<00:34:50.599><c> the</c><00:34:50.760><c> wilderness</c><00:34:51.079><c> journey.</c>

00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:53.119
And<00:34:52.380><c> guess</c><00:34:52.659><c> what?</c>

00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:58.099
It's<00:34:54.179><c> happening</c><00:34:54.659><c> all</c><00:34:55.539><c> over</c><00:34:56.079><c> again.</c>

00:34:59.059 --> 00:34:59.800
Okay?

00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:03.340
Remember<00:35:01.139><c> what</c><00:35:01.619><c> Amalek</c><00:35:02.099><c> did</c><00:35:02.360><c> unto</c><00:35:02.639><c> you.</c>

00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:04.440
Deuteronomy<00:35:03.820><c> 25.</c>

00:35:04.780 --> 00:35:08.659
Don't<00:35:05.119><c> you</c><00:35:05.539><c> forget</c><00:35:06.039><c> it,</c><00:35:07.239><c> says</c><00:35:07.400><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:11.219
Wipe<00:35:09.000><c> out</c><00:35:09.199><c> his</c><00:35:09.500><c> remembrance</c><00:35:09.820><c> from</c><00:35:10.059><c> unto</c><00:35:10.239><c> heaven.</c>

00:35:12.019 --> 00:35:14.880
And<00:35:12.059><c> that</c><00:35:12.199><c> won't</c><00:35:12.360><c> happen</c><00:35:12.579><c> until</c><00:35:12.840><c> Revelation</c><00:35:13.239><c> 20.</c>

00:35:16.739 --> 00:35:18.659
Because<00:35:16.920><c> Revelation</c><00:35:17.239><c> 20</c><00:35:17.500><c> is</c><00:35:17.739><c> about</c><00:35:17.940><c> the</c><00:35:18.159><c> final</c><00:35:18.400><c> fulfillment</c>

00:35:18.659 --> 00:35:19.940

00:35:19.940 --> 00:35:23.980
and<00:35:20.139><c> that's</c><00:35:20.420><c> why</c><00:35:20.699><c> Amalek</c><00:35:21.079><c> is</c><00:35:21.260><c> in</c><00:35:21.380><c> Revelation</c><00:35:21.780><c> 20.</c>

00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:28.119
He's<00:35:24.539><c> there</c><00:35:24.820><c> in</c><00:35:24.920><c> the</c><00:35:24.940><c> form</c><00:35:25.239><c> of</c><00:35:25.539><c> Gog</c><00:35:25.659><c> and</c><00:35:26.760><c> Magog.</c>

00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:30.460
Agag.

00:35:30.579 --> 00:35:32.119
Numbers<00:35:30.820><c> 24.</c>

00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:37.440
Some<00:35:32.739><c> translations</c><00:35:33.579><c> translate</c><00:35:34.559><c> Gog</c><00:35:35.079><c> as</c><00:35:36.119><c> Agag.</c>

00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:38.860
He's<00:35:37.800><c> in</c><00:35:37.940><c> both</c><00:35:38.199><c> names.</c>

00:35:39.059 --> 00:35:41.659
Gog<00:35:39.519><c> and</c><00:35:40.539><c> Magog.</c>

00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:44.559
Amalek<00:35:42.579><c> is</c><00:35:42.880><c> there</c><00:35:43.239><c> alive</c><00:35:43.619><c> and</c><00:35:43.880><c> well</c><00:35:43.980><c> at</c><00:35:44.179><c> the</c><00:35:44.360><c> end,</c>

00:35:44.579 --> 00:35:46.400
and<00:35:44.760><c> the</c><00:35:44.940><c> serpent</c><00:35:45.400><c> that</c><00:35:45.639><c> he</c><00:35:45.920><c> represents</c>

00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:48.019
will<00:35:46.800><c> be</c><00:35:46.940><c> destroyed</c><00:35:47.380><c> in</c><00:35:47.559><c> the</c><00:35:47.699><c> events.</c>

00:35:48.519 --> 00:35:51.480
Those<00:35:48.920><c> final</c><00:35:49.320><c> events</c><00:35:49.780><c> of</c><00:35:50.059><c> that</c><00:35:50.280><c> chapter.</c>

00:35:52.019 --> 00:35:52.860
But<00:35:52.159><c> here</c><00:35:52.300><c> he</c><00:35:52.380><c> is.</c>

00:35:53.139 --> 00:35:54.440
Who<00:35:53.239><c> do</c><00:35:53.320><c> you</c><00:35:53.400><c> next</c><00:35:53.619><c> meet?</c>

00:35:55.739 --> 00:35:56.800
For<00:35:55.900><c> the</c><00:35:56.079><c> first</c><00:35:56.260><c> time</c><00:35:56.380><c> in</c><00:35:56.500><c> the</c><00:35:56.619><c> Bible?</c>

00:35:57.059 --> 00:35:58.400
That's<00:35:57.260><c> the</c><00:35:57.360><c> first</c><00:35:57.599><c> time</c><00:35:57.739><c> you</c><00:35:57.820><c> meet</c><00:35:58.000><c> Amalek.</c>

00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:00.639
Apart<00:35:58.760><c> from</c><00:35:58.920><c> the</c><00:35:59.000><c> reference</c><00:35:59.320><c> in</c><00:35:59.460><c> Genesis</c><00:35:59.780><c> 14,</c><00:36:00.280><c> verse</c><00:36:00.440><c> 4,</c>

to<00:36:00.760><c> the</c><00:36:00.880><c> land</c><00:36:01.039><c> of</c><00:36:01.159><c> the</c><00:36:01.260><c> Amalekites,</c>

00:36:01.860 --> 00:36:05.059
which<00:36:02.059><c> causes</c><00:36:02.460><c> Moses</c><00:36:02.880><c> rioting</c><00:36:03.519><c> well</c><00:36:03.820><c> after</c><00:36:04.039><c> the</c><00:36:04.199><c> event.</c>

00:36:06.139 --> 00:36:07.360
Apart<00:36:06.539><c> from</c><00:36:06.699><c> that</c><00:36:06.920><c> reference,</c>

00:36:07.860 --> 00:36:10.800
this<00:36:07.980><c> is</c><00:36:08.219><c> the</c><00:36:08.420><c> first</c><00:36:08.940><c> time</c><00:36:09.300><c> in</c><00:36:09.519><c> the</c><00:36:09.760><c> Bible</c><00:36:10.059><c> you</c><00:36:10.219><c> meet</c><00:36:10.440><c> Amalek.</c>

00:36:10.860 --> 00:36:13.900
But<00:36:11.000><c> it's</c><00:36:11.119><c> also</c><00:36:11.480><c> the</c><00:36:11.599><c> first</c><00:36:11.840><c> time</c><00:36:11.980><c> in</c><00:36:12.099><c> the</c><00:36:12.199><c> Bible</c><00:36:12.360><c> you</c><00:36:12.480><c> meet</c><00:36:12.639><c> Joshua.</c>

00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:16.119
And<00:36:15.559><c> Joshua</c><00:36:15.880><c> is</c><00:36:16.079><c> here.</c>

00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:19.159
You<00:36:16.139><c> know</c><00:36:16.300><c> how</c><00:36:16.500><c> many</c><00:36:16.519><c> times</c><00:36:16.800><c> the</c><00:36:16.940><c> name</c><00:36:17.219><c> Amalek</c><00:36:17.480><c> is</c><00:36:17.679><c> here,</c><00:36:17.840><c> brothers</c><00:36:18.019><c> and</c><00:36:18.260><c> sisters?</c>

00:36:19.739 --> 00:36:20.800
Seven.

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:26.139
This<00:36:22.059><c> is</c><00:36:22.199><c> all</c><00:36:22.380><c> about</c><00:36:22.780><c> the</c><00:36:22.960><c> great</c><00:36:23.219><c> covenant</c><00:36:23.559><c> of</c><00:36:23.820><c> Genesis</c><00:36:24.139><c> 3</c><00:36:24.460><c>.15.</c>

00:36:26.699 --> 00:36:29.340
And<00:36:26.820><c> we</c><00:36:27.199><c> find</c><00:36:27.500><c> Joshua</c><00:36:27.940><c> emerging</c><00:36:28.380><c> in</c><00:36:28.579><c> verse</c><00:36:28.800><c> 9.</c>

00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:31.699
And<00:36:29.579><c> Moses</c><00:36:29.920><c> said</c><00:36:30.119><c> unto</c><00:36:30.400><c> Joshua,</c>

00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:33.460
Yahshua,<00:36:32.519><c> Yahweh's</c><00:36:33.079><c> salvation,</c>

00:36:33.619 --> 00:36:36.699
choose<00:36:33.840><c> us</c><00:36:34.139><c> our</c><00:36:34.519><c> Enosh,</c><00:36:35.400><c> weak</c><00:36:35.739><c> mortal</c><00:36:36.300><c> men,</c>

00:36:36.980 --> 00:36:39.239
and<00:36:37.139><c> go</c><00:36:37.280><c> out</c><00:36:37.539><c> and</c><00:36:37.860><c> fight</c><00:36:38.059><c> with</c><00:36:38.320><c> Amalek.</c>

00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:41.780
That's<00:36:39.800><c> exactly</c><00:36:40.179><c> what</c><00:36:40.440><c> Yahshua</c><00:36:40.940><c> did.</c>

00:36:42.019 --> 00:36:45.739
He<00:36:42.219><c> chose</c><00:36:42.519><c> disciples,</c><00:36:43.460><c> and</c><00:36:43.719><c> he</c><00:36:43.900><c> set</c><00:36:44.039><c> out</c><00:36:44.260><c> to</c><00:36:44.519><c> fight</c><00:36:44.800><c> against</c><00:36:45.179><c> Amalek.</c>

00:36:45.739 --> 00:36:46.519
Didn't<00:36:46.139><c> he?</c>

00:36:46.820 --> 00:36:50.519
He<00:36:46.940><c> spent</c><00:36:47.539><c> 33</c><00:36:48.440><c> odd</c><00:36:48.920><c> years</c><00:36:49.559><c> doing</c><00:36:49.880><c> that.</c>

00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:52.940
The<00:36:50.840><c> last</c><00:36:51.159><c> three</c><00:36:51.360><c> and</c><00:36:51.519><c> a</c><00:36:51.539><c> half</c><00:36:51.699><c> years</c><00:36:52.019><c> very</c><00:36:52.420><c> intensely</c>

00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:00.239
So<00:36:57.619><c> here</c><00:36:57.760><c> we've</c><00:36:57.980><c> got</c><00:36:58.119><c> the</c><00:36:58.219><c> record</c><00:36:58.800><c> of</c><00:36:59.440><c> Christ's</c><00:36:59.880><c> battle</c>

00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:01.300
with<00:37:00.480><c> the</c><00:37:00.679><c> serpent</c><00:37:00.960><c> power,</c>

00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:04.300
which<00:37:01.519><c> he</c><00:37:01.820><c> of</c><00:37:01.820><c> course</c><00:37:02.159><c> bore</c><00:37:02.400><c> commonly</c><00:37:02.920><c> with</c><00:37:03.239><c> us</c><00:37:03.500><c> within.</c>

00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:08.480
Like<00:37:05.199><c> us,</c><00:37:06.079><c> he</c><00:37:06.280><c> was</c><00:37:06.579><c> born</c><00:37:06.920><c> with</c><00:37:07.539><c> what</c><00:37:07.679><c> you</c><00:37:07.840><c> might</c><00:37:08.019><c> call</c><00:37:08.260><c> a</c>

serpent<00:37:08.719><c> nature.</c>

00:37:09.460 --> 00:37:11.860
This<00:37:09.639><c> is</c><00:37:09.820><c> why</c><00:37:10.079><c> the</c><00:37:10.320><c> serpent</c><00:37:10.519><c> had</c><00:37:10.639><c> to</c><00:37:10.820><c> be</c><00:37:10.960><c> put</c><00:37:11.039><c> on</c><00:37:11.219><c> a</c><00:37:11.480><c> pole</c>

00:37:11.860 --> 00:37:14.199
and<00:37:12.619><c> crucified,</c><00:37:13.300><c> wasn't</c><00:37:13.619><c> it?</c>

00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:16.679
As<00:37:15.019><c> Moses</c><00:37:15.380><c> lifted</c><00:37:15.579><c> up</c><00:37:15.780><c> the</c><00:37:15.920><c> serpent</c><00:37:16.139><c> in</c><00:37:16.300><c> the</c><00:37:16.360><c> wilderness,</c>

00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:18.719
even<00:37:17.019><c> so</c><00:37:17.159><c> the</c><00:37:17.239><c> Son</c><00:37:17.440><c> of</c><00:37:17.579><c> Man</c><00:37:17.739><c> must</c><00:37:17.980><c> be</c><00:37:18.139><c> lifted</c><00:37:18.380><c> up.</c>

00:37:18.940 --> 00:37:20.539
He<00:37:19.019><c> had</c><00:37:19.159><c> a</c><00:37:19.320><c> serpent</c><00:37:19.579><c> nature.</c>

00:37:21.059 --> 00:37:23.460
The<00:37:21.099><c> difference</c><00:37:21.340><c> between</c><00:37:21.719><c> him</c><00:37:22.019><c> and</c><00:37:22.199><c> us,</c><00:37:22.460><c> of</c><00:37:22.639><c> course,</c>

00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:25.420
is<00:37:23.639><c> that</c><00:37:23.739><c> no</c><00:37:23.980><c> poison</c><00:37:24.300><c> ever</c><00:37:24.579><c> came</c><00:37:24.760><c> out</c><00:37:25.000><c> of</c><00:37:25.119><c> him.</c>

00:37:25.860 --> 00:37:27.059
No<00:37:26.119><c> poison.</c>

00:37:27.659 --> 00:37:30.019
He<00:37:27.800><c> was</c><00:37:28.019><c> like</c><00:37:28.400><c> that</c><00:37:28.619><c> inert</c><00:37:28.920><c> brass.</c>

00:37:30.659 --> 00:37:31.980
Couldn't<00:37:30.860><c> harm</c><00:37:31.079><c> anybody.</c>

00:37:32.460 --> 00:37:34.159
Whereas<00:37:32.579><c> you</c><00:37:32.760><c> and</c><00:37:32.920><c> I</c><00:37:33.000><c> got</c><00:37:33.159><c> too</c><00:37:33.400><c> much</c><00:37:33.639><c> poison</c>

00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:36.079
that<00:37:34.860><c> can</c><00:37:35.059><c> harm</c><00:37:35.219><c> others.</c>

00:37:37.019 --> 00:37:39.300
So<00:37:37.199><c> here</c><00:37:37.360><c> we've</c><00:37:37.659><c> got</c><00:37:37.860><c> this</c><00:37:38.079><c> wonderful</c><00:37:38.619><c> representation</c>

00:37:39.300 --> 00:37:40.920
of<00:37:39.500><c> the</c><00:37:39.599><c> work</c><00:37:39.739><c> of</c><00:37:39.940><c> our</c><00:37:40.059><c> Lord</c><00:37:40.179><c> Jesus</c><00:37:40.599><c> Christ.</c>

00:37:41.019 --> 00:37:42.800
And<00:37:41.119><c> look</c><00:37:41.460><c> what</c><00:37:41.719><c> it</c><00:37:41.900><c> does.</c>

00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:44.440
Moses<00:37:43.960><c> says,</c>

00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:47.039
You<00:37:44.980><c> choose</c><00:37:45.360><c> your</c><00:37:46.159><c> weak</c><00:37:46.380><c> mortal</c><00:37:46.659><c> men,</c>

00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:49.000
go<00:37:47.460><c> out</c><00:37:47.639><c> and</c><00:37:47.719><c> fight</c><00:37:47.900><c> with</c><00:37:48.119><c> Amalek,</c><00:37:48.519><c> verse</c><00:37:48.679><c> 9.</c>

00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:52.139
Tomorrow<00:37:49.579><c> I</c><00:37:49.820><c> will</c><00:37:50.039><c> stand</c><00:37:50.340><c> on</c><00:37:50.519><c> the</c><00:37:50.719><c> top</c><00:37:50.940><c> of</c><00:37:51.159><c> the</c><00:37:51.340><c> hill</c>

00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:55.260
with<00:37:52.320><c> the</c><00:37:52.639><c> rod</c><00:37:52.920><c> of</c><00:37:53.400><c> God</c><00:37:53.940><c> in</c><00:37:54.739><c> my</c><00:37:54.920><c> hand.</c>

00:37:55.260 --> 00:37:56.579
So<00:37:55.440><c> what's</c><00:37:55.659><c> this</c><00:37:55.900><c> rod?</c>

00:37:57.139 --> 00:37:58.980
Well,<00:37:57.380><c> it's</c><00:37:57.500><c> the</c><00:37:57.559><c> same</c><00:37:57.739><c> one</c><00:37:57.860><c> he</c><00:37:57.980><c> used</c><00:37:58.139><c> to</c><00:37:58.400><c> strike</c><00:37:58.539><c> the</c><00:37:58.739><c> rock.</c>

00:37:59.059 --> 00:38:00.559
It's<00:37:59.260><c> a</c><00:37:59.340><c> serpent</c><00:37:59.679><c> rod.</c>

00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:02.360
Now<00:38:01.019><c> if</c><00:38:01.159><c> it</c><00:38:01.599><c> struck</c><00:38:01.840><c> the</c><00:38:02.079><c> rock,</c>

00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:04.519
it<00:38:02.659><c> represents</c><00:38:03.019><c> the</c><00:38:03.280><c> cross</c><00:38:03.460><c> of</c><00:38:03.639><c> Christ,</c><00:38:03.980><c> doesn't</c><00:38:04.239><c> it?</c>

00:38:04.940 --> 00:38:06.320
So<00:38:05.079><c> this</c><00:38:05.880><c> is</c><00:38:06.059><c> Moses.</c>

00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:10.179
He's<00:38:06.639><c> going</c><00:38:06.679><c> to</c><00:38:06.739><c> take</c><00:38:07.059><c> the</c><00:38:07.340><c> cross</c><00:38:07.519><c> of</c><00:38:07.760><c> Christ</c><00:38:08.320><c> up</c><00:38:08.900><c> to</c><00:38:09.139><c> a</c><00:38:09.260><c> hill.</c>

00:38:10.679 --> 00:38:11.780
See<00:38:11.119><c> where</c><00:38:11.239><c> this</c><00:38:11.360><c> is</c><00:38:11.420><c> going?</c>

00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:13.719
He's<00:38:12.360><c> going</c><00:38:12.420><c> to</c><00:38:12.500><c> go</c><00:38:12.619><c> to</c><00:38:12.739><c> a</c><00:38:12.840><c> hill</c>

00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:16.659
so<00:38:14.559><c> he</c><00:38:14.579><c> can</c><00:38:14.719><c> be</c><00:38:14.940><c> seen</c><00:38:15.059><c> by</c><00:38:15.260><c> everyone.</c>

00:38:17.300 --> 00:38:20.039
And<00:38:17.340><c> then</c><00:38:17.460><c> we</c><00:38:17.579><c> read</c><00:38:17.780><c> this,</c><00:38:18.980><c> verse</c><00:38:19.159><c> 10.</c>

00:38:20.340 --> 00:38:22.360
So<00:38:20.480><c> Joshua</c><00:38:20.880><c> did</c><00:38:21.099><c> as</c><00:38:21.260><c> Moses</c><00:38:21.619><c> had</c><00:38:21.900><c> said</c><00:38:22.039><c> to</c><00:38:22.199><c> him,</c>

00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:23.960
and<00:38:22.619><c> fought</c><00:38:22.880><c> with</c><00:38:23.199><c> Amalek.</c>

00:38:24.380 --> 00:38:27.739
And<00:38:24.579><c> Moses,</c><00:38:25.760><c> Aaron,</c><00:38:26.320><c> and</c><00:38:26.800><c> Hur</c>

00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:29.159
went<00:38:28.199><c> up</c><00:38:28.579><c> to</c><00:38:28.739><c> the</c><00:38:28.920><c> hill,</c>

00:38:29.420 --> 00:38:30.500
to<00:38:29.559><c> the</c><00:38:29.739><c> top</c><00:38:29.920><c> of</c><00:38:30.119><c> the</c><00:38:30.280><c> hill.</c>

00:38:30.980 --> 00:38:33.219
So<00:38:31.099><c> there</c><00:38:31.239><c> are</c><00:38:31.480><c> three</c><00:38:31.800><c> men</c><00:38:32.039><c> up</c><00:38:32.300><c> there.</c>

00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:36.400
There's<00:38:34.679><c> Moses,</c><00:38:35.480><c> the</c><00:38:35.699><c> great</c><00:38:35.980><c> prophet,</c>

00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:37.760
and<00:38:36.800><c> the</c><00:38:36.900><c> Lord</c><00:38:37.079><c> Jesus</c><00:38:37.440><c> Christ</c>

00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:40.400
who<00:38:37.760><c> was</c><00:38:37.860><c> to</c><00:38:38.000><c> be</c><00:38:38.199><c> a</c><00:38:38.380><c> prophet</c><00:38:38.659><c> like</c><00:38:39.079><c> unto</c><00:38:39.280><c> Moses.</c>

00:38:40.539 --> 00:38:44.440
He<00:38:40.559><c> was</c><00:38:40.760><c> to</c><00:38:40.880><c> be</c><00:38:41.059><c> a</c><00:38:41.199><c> mediator</c><00:38:42.000><c> like</c><00:38:42.420><c> Moses,</c><00:38:43.320><c> wasn't</c><00:38:43.559><c> he?</c>

00:38:44.820 --> 00:38:46.780
But<00:38:45.260><c> he</c><00:38:45.340><c> had</c><00:38:45.559><c> two</c><00:38:45.820><c> other</c><00:38:46.000><c> men</c><00:38:46.139><c> with</c><00:38:46.300><c> him.</c>

00:38:47.139 --> 00:38:49.199
There<00:38:47.219><c> was</c><00:38:47.440><c> the</c><00:38:47.579><c> high</c><00:38:47.860><c> priest</c><00:38:48.099><c> elect,</c><00:38:48.940><c> Aaron,</c>

00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:51.300
and<00:38:49.639><c> he</c><00:38:49.719><c> wasn't</c><00:38:49.980><c> high</c><00:38:50.300><c> priest</c><00:38:50.480><c> yet.</c>

00:38:51.900 --> 00:38:54.300
And<00:38:52.159><c> there</c><00:38:52.340><c> was</c><00:38:52.539><c> the</c><00:38:52.659><c> prince</c><00:38:52.980><c> of</c><00:38:53.260><c> Judah,</c><00:38:54.039><c> Hur,</c>

00:38:54.739 --> 00:38:56.380
whose<00:38:54.880><c> name</c><00:38:55.079><c> means</c><00:38:55.360><c> white</c><00:38:55.599><c> linen.</c>

00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:58.280
They're<00:38:56.860><c> going</c><00:38:56.960><c> to</c><00:38:57.059><c> play</c><00:38:57.199><c> a</c><00:38:57.280><c> very</c><00:38:57.599><c> important</c><00:38:57.960><c> part</c>

00:38:58.280 --> 00:38:59.679
in<00:38:58.420><c> this</c><00:38:58.639><c> transaction.</c>

00:38:59.900 --> 00:39:01.079
So<00:39:00.019><c> let's</c><00:39:00.179><c> follow</c><00:39:00.420><c> that.</c>

00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:02.840
Verse<00:39:01.739><c> 11.</c>

00:39:03.539 --> 00:39:05.920
And<00:39:03.619><c> it</c><00:39:03.719><c> came</c><00:39:03.880><c> to</c><00:39:04.079><c> pass</c><00:39:04.260><c> when</c><00:39:04.440><c> Moses</c><00:39:04.860><c> held</c><00:39:05.079><c> up</c><00:39:05.300><c> his</c><00:39:05.539><c> hand,</c>

00:39:05.920 --> 00:39:08.480
notice<00:39:06.480><c> its</c><00:39:06.780><c> one</c><00:39:07.079><c> hand,</c>

00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:11.920
that<00:39:09.500><c> Israel</c><00:39:09.980><c> prevailed</c><00:39:10.599><c> unto</c><00:39:10.920><c> Joshua.</c>

00:39:12.500 --> 00:39:14.900
And<00:39:12.679><c> when</c><00:39:12.780><c> he</c><00:39:12.920><c> let</c><00:39:13.219><c> down</c><00:39:13.739><c> his</c><00:39:14.079><c> hand,</c>

00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:16.840
Amalek<00:39:15.659><c> prevailed.</c>

00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:19.760
So<00:39:17.059><c> while</c><00:39:17.500><c> the</c><00:39:17.820><c> cross</c><00:39:18.039><c> is</c><00:39:18.260><c> being</c><00:39:18.539><c> held</c><00:39:18.820><c> up</c>

00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:22.000
to<00:39:20.500><c> display</c><00:39:20.920><c> to</c><00:39:21.079><c> the</c><00:39:21.179><c> world</c><00:39:21.340><c> what</c><00:39:21.500><c> you</c><00:39:21.739><c> do</c>

00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:24.019
with<00:39:22.480><c> this</c><00:39:22.739><c> serpent</c><00:39:22.980><c> nature,</c>

00:39:24.780 --> 00:39:26.840
you<00:39:24.920><c> crucify</c><00:39:25.400><c> it</c><00:39:25.519><c> with</c><00:39:25.639><c> its</c><00:39:25.860><c> affections</c><00:39:26.239><c> and</c><00:39:26.460><c> lusts,</c>

00:39:26.840 --> 00:39:30.780
while<00:39:27.000><c> that's</c><00:39:27.219><c> being</c><00:39:27.500><c> done,</c><00:39:29.360><c> Israel</c><00:39:29.559><c> prevails.</c>

00:39:31.659 --> 00:39:34.139
But<00:39:31.860><c> when</c><00:39:32.079><c> through</c><00:39:32.380><c> tiredness</c>

00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:38.059
it's<00:39:34.639><c> let</c><00:39:34.860><c> down,</c><00:39:36.320><c> Amalek</c><00:39:36.559><c> prevails.</c>

00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:40.840
That's<00:39:38.460><c> how</c><00:39:38.619><c> it</c><00:39:38.639><c> works</c><00:39:38.860><c> in</c><00:39:39.000><c> my</c><00:39:39.219><c> life,</c><00:39:39.539><c> brothers</c><00:39:39.639><c> and</c><00:39:39.880><c> sisters.</c>

00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:47.880
If<00:39:42.739><c> I'm</c><00:39:43.099><c> conscious</c><00:39:43.800><c> of</c><00:39:44.260><c> Luke</c><00:39:44.400><c> 9</c><00:39:44.780><c>.24</c><00:39:45.320><c> in</c><00:39:46.360><c> my</c><00:39:46.619><c> daily</c><00:39:46.820><c> life,</c>

00:39:48.539 --> 00:39:51.320
take<00:39:48.659><c> up</c><00:39:48.880><c> your</c><00:39:49.079><c> cross</c><00:39:49.420><c> daily</c><00:39:49.900><c> and</c><00:39:50.719><c> follow</c><00:39:51.039><c> me,</c>

00:39:51.340 --> 00:39:53.699
the<00:39:51.519><c> words</c><00:39:51.679><c> mean</c><00:39:51.920><c> to</c><00:39:52.159><c> walk</c><00:39:52.360><c> in</c><00:39:52.519><c> my</c><00:39:52.800><c> steps,</c>

00:39:54.260 --> 00:39:56.179
then<00:39:54.380><c> I've</c><00:39:54.559><c> got</c><00:39:54.719><c> some</c><00:39:54.920><c> hope</c><00:39:55.219><c> of</c><00:39:55.440><c> dealing</c><00:39:55.599><c> with</c><00:39:55.820><c> Amalek,</c>

00:39:56.300 --> 00:39:57.519
the<00:39:56.519><c> serpent</c><00:39:56.760><c> within.</c>

00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:00.840
But<00:39:58.980><c> when</c><00:39:59.119><c> I</c><00:39:59.280><c> let</c><00:39:59.380><c> that</c><00:39:59.679><c> down</c>

00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:03.840
and<00:40:02.039><c> it</c><00:40:02.199><c> goes</c><00:40:02.460><c> out</c><00:40:02.760><c> of</c><00:40:02.940><c> sight,</c>

00:40:03.860 --> 00:40:06.119
guess<00:40:04.239><c> what</c><00:40:04.440><c> happens?</c>

00:40:07.900 --> 00:40:09.519
Amalek<00:40:08.460><c> prevails.</c>

00:40:09.780 --> 00:40:11.260
The<00:40:09.900><c> serpent</c><00:40:10.179><c> wins.</c>

00:40:12.300 --> 00:40:13.800
That's<00:40:12.559><c> the</c><00:40:12.719><c> story.</c>

00:40:14.539 --> 00:40:17.119
Let's<00:40:14.760><c> read</c><00:40:14.940><c> on,</c><00:40:15.519><c> verse</c><00:40:15.639><c> 12.</c>

00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:20.219
Now<00:40:17.760><c> we</c><00:40:17.920><c> were</c><00:40:18.000><c> at</c><00:40:18.059><c> about</c><00:40:18.320><c> a</c><00:40:18.579><c> hand</c><00:40:18.800><c> in</c><00:40:18.960><c> verse</c><00:40:19.239><c> 11.</c>

00:40:20.659 --> 00:40:22.639
In<00:40:20.760><c> verse</c><00:40:20.940><c> 12</c><00:40:21.239><c> it</c><00:40:21.440><c> changes.</c>

00:40:23.579 --> 00:40:26.420
But<00:40:23.719><c> Moses'</c><00:40:24.239><c> hands</c><00:40:24.940><c> were</c><00:40:25.480><c> heavy.</c>

00:40:27.300 --> 00:40:29.059
Now<00:40:27.460><c> what</c><00:40:27.559><c> that</c><00:40:27.820><c> means</c><00:40:28.039><c> probably</c><00:40:28.440><c> is,</c>

00:40:29.059 --> 00:40:32.039
initially<00:40:29.599><c> he</c><00:40:30.179><c> would</c><00:40:30.400><c> hold</c><00:40:30.579><c> up</c><00:40:30.800><c> the</c><00:40:30.900><c> rod</c><00:40:31.019><c> in</c><00:40:31.179><c> his</c><00:40:31.300><c> right</c><00:40:31.619><c> hand.</c>

00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:34.019
Can<00:40:32.320><c> you</c><00:40:32.320><c> try</c><00:40:32.460><c> that</c><00:40:32.579><c> for</c><00:40:32.719><c> a</c><00:40:32.860><c> while?</c>

00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:37.400
It<00:40:35.059><c> gets</c><00:40:35.320><c> tight,</c><00:40:35.900><c> so</c><00:40:36.099><c> swap</c><00:40:36.320><c> it</c><00:40:36.480><c> to</c><00:40:36.539><c> your</c><00:40:36.659><c> left.</c>

00:40:37.900 --> 00:40:39.480
Hold<00:40:38.059><c> up</c><00:40:38.260><c> your</c><00:40:38.440><c> left.</c>

00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:46.539
In<00:40:45.599><c> the</c><00:40:45.840><c> end,</c><00:40:46.260><c> you</c><00:40:46.260><c> think,</c>

00:40:46.539 --> 00:40:49.320
hey,<00:40:47.059><c> wouldn't</c><00:40:47.179><c> it</c><00:40:47.280><c> be</c><00:40:47.380><c> better</c><00:40:47.519><c> just</c><00:40:47.679><c> to</c><00:40:47.840><c> put</c><00:40:47.840><c> both</c><00:40:48.059><c> hands</c><00:40:48.300><c> on</c><00:40:48.460><c> it?</c>

00:40:50.780 --> 00:40:52.320
That's<00:40:51.199><c> what</c><00:40:51.340><c> he</c><00:40:51.420><c> does.</c>

00:40:52.739 --> 00:40:54.440
He<00:40:52.900><c> puts</c><00:40:53.239><c> both</c><00:40:53.739><c> hands</c><00:40:54.139><c> on</c><00:40:54.300><c> it.</c>

00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:56.559
Read<00:40:54.780><c> the</c><00:40:54.920><c> record</c><00:40:55.280><c> carefully.</c>

00:40:56.719 --> 00:40:59.119
Verse<00:40:57.239><c> 12,</c><00:40:57.539><c> but</c><00:40:57.820><c> Moses'</c><00:40:58.280><c> hands</c><00:40:58.619><c> were</c><00:40:58.880><c> heavy,</c>

00:40:59.219 --> 00:41:01.880
and<00:40:59.260><c> they</c><00:40:59.480><c> took</c><00:40:59.679><c> a</c><00:40:59.960><c> stone,</c><00:41:00.539><c> the</c><00:41:00.599><c> word</c><00:41:00.760><c> is</c><00:41:01.079><c> eben,</c>

00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:05.639
the<00:41:02.400><c> foundation</c><00:41:03.099><c> stone</c><00:41:03.460><c> of</c><00:41:03.619><c> the</c><00:41:03.760><c> house</c><00:41:03.980><c> of</c><00:41:04.260><c> God.</c>

00:41:05.820 --> 00:41:09.380
Behold,<00:41:06.559><c> Isaiah</c><00:41:06.679><c> 28</c><00:41:08.340><c> verse</c><00:41:08.599><c> 16</c><00:41:09.059><c> says,</c>

00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:14.000
I<00:41:09.699><c> lay</c><00:41:10.059><c> in</c><00:41:10.420><c> Zion</c><00:41:10.780><c> a</c><00:41:11.800><c> foundation</c><00:41:12.619><c> stone,</c><00:41:13.380><c> an</c><00:41:13.699><c> eben.</c>

00:41:14.179 --> 00:41:16.440
Here<00:41:14.320><c> they</c><00:41:14.539><c> sit,</c><00:41:14.739><c> Moses,</c><00:41:15.659><c> on</c><00:41:15.820><c> the</c><00:41:16.079><c> eben.</c>

00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:19.460
Eben,<00:41:18.280><c> this</c><00:41:18.460><c> is</c><00:41:18.599><c> how</c><00:41:18.699><c> you</c><00:41:18.820><c> build</c><00:41:19.000><c> a</c><00:41:19.219><c> family.</c>

00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:21.619
Ben<00:41:19.960><c> means</c><00:41:20.519><c> the</c><00:41:20.820><c> builder</c><00:41:21.039><c> of</c><00:41:21.260><c> a</c><00:41:21.400><c> family.</c>

00:41:21.699 --> 00:41:24.300
So<00:41:21.860><c> this</c><00:41:22.000><c> is</c><00:41:22.219><c> about</c><00:41:22.480><c> building</c><00:41:22.940><c> God's</c><00:41:23.860><c> family.</c>

00:41:24.300 --> 00:41:26.460
Sit<00:41:25.059><c> him</c><00:41:25.280><c> on</c><00:41:25.360><c> an</c><00:41:25.539><c> eben.</c>

00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:28.559
Then<00:41:27.320><c> what</c><00:41:27.579><c> happens?</c>

00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:32.960
And<00:41:29.440><c> he</c><00:41:29.579><c> sat</c><00:41:29.820><c> there</c><00:41:30.079><c> on,</c><00:41:30.400><c> and</c><00:41:30.699><c> Aaron</c><00:41:30.760><c> and</c><00:41:31.039><c> Hur</c><00:41:31.199><c> stayed</c><00:41:31.599><c> up</c><00:41:31.840><c> his</c><00:41:32.460><c> hands.</c>

00:41:33.019 --> 00:41:34.340
Notice<00:41:33.320><c> that?</c>

00:41:34.860 --> 00:41:38.420
So<00:41:35.199><c> both</c><00:41:35.780><c> hands</c><00:41:36.440><c> are</c><00:41:36.820><c> on</c><00:41:37.019><c> the</c><00:41:37.280><c> serpent</c><00:41:37.559><c> rod.</c>

00:41:39.460 --> 00:41:41.579
And<00:41:39.699><c> he's</c><00:41:39.920><c> got</c><00:41:40.079><c> a</c><00:41:40.239><c> man</c><00:41:40.440><c> either</c><00:41:40.679><c> side</c><00:41:40.980><c> of</c><00:41:41.099><c> him,</c>

00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:44.699
so<00:41:42.260><c> Aaron</c><00:41:42.579><c> is</c><00:41:42.820><c> propping</c><00:41:43.039><c> up</c><00:41:43.300><c> one</c><00:41:43.519><c> of</c><00:41:43.639><c> his</c><00:41:43.840><c> arms,</c>

00:41:45.059 --> 00:41:48.000
and<00:41:45.400><c> Hur</c><00:41:45.760><c> is</c><00:41:46.360><c> propping</c><00:41:46.579><c> up</c><00:41:46.800><c> the</c><00:41:46.960><c> other</c><00:41:47.219><c> arm.</c>

00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:50.579
So<00:41:48.739><c> the</c><00:41:48.960><c> imagery</c><00:41:49.219><c> you</c><00:41:49.500><c> get,</c><00:41:49.920><c> brothers</c><00:41:49.940><c> and</c><00:41:50.179><c> sisters,</c>

00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:02.420
And<00:42:00.579><c> Paul</c><00:42:00.739><c> says</c><00:42:01.019><c> in</c><00:42:01.179><c> Hebrews</c><00:42:01.480><c> 12,</c>

00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:05.079
for<00:42:02.800><c> the</c><00:42:03.039><c> joy</c><00:42:03.219><c> that</c><00:42:03.380><c> was</c><00:42:03.599><c> set</c><00:42:03.780><c> before</c><00:42:04.119><c> him,</c>

00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:09.860
he<00:42:05.539><c> endured</c><00:42:05.880><c> the</c><00:42:06.139><c> cross,</c><00:42:07.619><c> he</c><00:42:08.000><c> despised</c><00:42:08.539><c> the</c><00:42:08.800><c> shame,</c>

00:42:10.019 --> 00:42:12.039

00:42:12.400 --> 00:42:16.480
So<00:42:12.599><c> what</c><00:42:12.800><c> was</c><00:42:13.079><c> the</c><00:42:13.280><c> joy</c><00:42:14.000><c> set</c><00:42:14.400><c> before</c><00:42:14.780><c> him</c><00:42:15.199><c> for</c><00:42:15.400><c> this</c><00:42:15.699><c> great</c><00:42:16.019><c> prophet</c>

00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:19.800

00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:23.219
It<00:42:20.159><c> was</c><00:42:20.760><c> the</c><00:42:21.039><c> fact</c><00:42:21.420><c> that</c><00:42:21.840><c> the</c><00:42:21.960><c> day</c><00:42:22.139><c> would</c><00:42:22.400><c> come</c><00:42:22.619><c> when</c><00:42:22.820><c> he</c><00:42:22.980><c> would</c>

00:42:23.219 --> 00:42:23.960
be<00:42:23.440><c> king</c>

00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:26.199
and<00:42:24.460><c> he</c><00:42:24.480><c> would</c><00:42:24.760><c> be</c><00:42:24.960><c> priest.</c>

00:42:26.440 --> 00:42:28.480
And<00:42:26.579><c> Aaron</c><00:42:26.659><c> was</c><00:42:26.840><c> going</c><00:42:27.000><c> to</c><00:42:27.099><c> be</c><00:42:27.219><c> high</c><00:42:27.519><c> priest,</c>

00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:30.260
and<00:42:28.579><c> the</c><00:42:28.719><c> prince</c><00:42:29.079><c> of</c><00:42:29.360><c> Judah</c><00:42:29.659><c> Hur,</c>

00:42:30.579 --> 00:42:33.880
ultimately<00:42:31.099><c> one</c><00:42:31.320><c> of</c><00:42:31.420><c> his</c><00:42:31.619><c> descendants,</c><00:42:32.019><c> would</c><00:42:32.119><c> be</c><00:42:32.360><c> king</c><00:42:32.599><c> in</c><00:42:32.739><c> Israel.</c>

00:42:35.300 --> 00:42:37.219
He<00:42:35.519><c> would</c><00:42:35.780><c> become</c><00:42:36.199><c> king</c><00:42:36.599><c>-priest.</c>

00:42:37.539 --> 00:42:40.460
That<00:42:37.760><c> was</c><00:42:37.980><c> the</c><00:42:38.179><c> joy</c><00:42:38.659><c> set</c><00:42:39.139><c> before</c><00:42:39.480><c> him.</c>

00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:43.719
So<00:42:40.800><c> his</c><00:42:41.000><c> hands</c><00:42:41.480><c> were</c><00:42:41.800><c> locked</c><00:42:42.300><c> onto</c><00:42:42.679><c> the</c><00:42:42.940><c> cross.</c>

00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:46.260

00:42:46.260 --> 00:42:48.539
It<00:42:46.340><c> says</c><00:42:46.739><c> at</c><00:42:46.920><c> the</c><00:42:47.000><c> end</c><00:42:47.159><c> of</c><00:42:47.260><c> verse</c><00:42:47.460><c> 12,</c>

00:42:56.840 --> 00:43:01.239
his<00:42:57.079><c> hands</c><00:42:57.559><c> were</c><00:42:57.920><c> steady</c><00:42:58.460><c> until</c><00:42:59.380><c> the</c><00:42:59.619><c> going</c><00:42:59.880><c> down</c><00:43:00.079><c> of</c><00:43:00.260><c> the</c><00:43:00.440><c> sun,</c>

00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:05.920
Going<00:43:04.599><c> down</c><00:43:04.840><c> to</c><00:43:04.960><c> the</c><00:43:05.079><c> sun.</c>

00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:09.840
It<00:43:06.840><c> was</c><00:43:07.139><c> dark</c><00:43:07.619><c> for</c><00:43:08.059><c> three</c><00:43:08.320><c> hours,</c><00:43:08.639><c> then</c><00:43:08.820><c> he</c><00:43:08.960><c> died.</c>

00:43:10.860 --> 00:43:16.079
That's<00:43:11.239><c> the</c><00:43:11.360><c> picture</c><00:43:11.880><c> of</c><00:43:12.500><c> our</c><00:43:12.639><c> Lord</c><00:43:12.820><c> Jesus</c><00:43:13.260><c> Christ</c><00:43:14.079><c> at</c><00:43:14.739><c> Golgotha.</c>

00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:19.639
Now<00:43:16.960><c> verse</c><00:43:17.179><c> 13,</c><00:43:17.800><c> we</c><00:43:17.900><c> read</c><00:43:18.139><c> this.</c>

00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:22.780
And<00:43:19.920><c> Joshua</c><00:43:20.340><c> discomforted</c><00:43:21.199><c> Amalek</c><00:43:21.500><c> and</c><00:43:21.659><c> his</c><00:43:21.860><c> people</c><00:43:22.059><c> with</c><00:43:22.280><c> the</c><00:43:22.440><c> edge</c><00:43:22.599><c> of</c>

the<00:43:23.000><c> sword.</c>

00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:26.159
Yes,<00:43:24.659><c> the</c><00:43:24.659><c> spirit's</c><00:43:24.940><c> going</c><00:43:25.019><c> to</c><00:43:25.159><c> win,</c><00:43:25.880><c> isn't</c><00:43:26.039><c> it,</c>

00:43:30.579 --> 00:43:32.699
The<00:43:31.000><c> spirit</c><00:43:31.239><c> is</c><00:43:31.500><c> going</c><00:43:31.639><c> to</c><00:43:31.780><c> win.</c>

00:43:36.579 --> 00:43:37.820
And<00:43:36.719><c> Yahweh</c><00:43:36.980><c> said</c><00:43:37.179><c> unto</c><00:43:37.380><c> Moses,</c>

00:43:42.380 --> 00:43:44.079
Now<00:43:42.679><c> think</c><00:43:42.920><c> about</c><00:43:43.179><c> that,</c><00:43:43.480><c> brothers</c><00:43:43.539><c> and</c><00:43:43.719><c> sisters.</c>

00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:55.880
You've<00:43:54.139><c> been</c><00:43:54.300><c> there</c><00:43:54.480><c> so</c><00:43:54.760><c> long</c><00:43:54.900><c> your</c><00:43:55.059><c> hand</c><00:43:55.280><c> is</c><00:43:55.539><c> cleaving</c><00:43:55.719><c> to</c>

00:44:26.039 --> 00:44:28.000
with<00:44:26.179><c> the</c><00:44:26.400><c> joy</c><00:44:26.579><c> that</c><00:44:26.679><c> was</c><00:44:26.920><c> set</c><00:44:27.079><c> before</c><00:44:27.440><c> me.</c>

00:44:57.719 --> 00:44:59.699
That's<00:44:58.079><c> why</c><00:44:58.159><c> that's</c><00:44:58.480><c> there,</c>

00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:01.900
because<00:45:00.340><c> he's</c><00:45:00.719><c> the</c><00:45:00.880><c> one</c><00:45:01.039><c> who's</c><00:45:01.179><c> going</c><00:45:01.300><c> to</c><00:45:01.400><c> fulfil</c><00:45:01.679><c> this,</c>

00:45:02.739 --> 00:45:05.840
and<00:45:03.219><c> then</c><00:45:03.440><c> God</c><00:45:03.679><c> says</c><00:45:04.099><c> this</c><00:45:04.940><c> through</c><00:45:05.280><c> Moses,</c>

He<00:46:13.239><c> did.</c>

00:46:14.480 --> 00:46:17.340
He<00:46:14.860><c> destroyed</c><00:46:15.000><c> it</c><00:46:15.360><c> because</c><00:46:15.659><c> they</c><00:46:15.880><c> were</c><00:46:16.019><c> worshipping</c><00:46:16.320><c> it.</c>

00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:19.860
Why<00:46:17.880><c> did</c><00:46:18.059><c> he</c><00:46:18.199><c> destroy</c><00:46:18.559><c> it,</c><00:46:18.699><c> brothers</c><00:46:18.800><c> and</c><00:46:19.039><c> sisters?</c>

00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:31.420
That's<00:46:30.639><c> what</c><00:46:30.760><c> it</c><00:46:30.920><c> represents.</c>

00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:34.320
The<00:46:32.000><c> serpent</c><00:46:32.380><c> represents</c><00:46:33.039><c> the</c><00:46:33.360><c> flesh.</c>

00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:43.840
I'm<00:46:40.559><c> going</c><00:46:40.679><c> to</c><00:46:40.820><c> know</c><00:46:40.980><c> nothing</c><00:46:41.519><c> but</c><00:46:42.099><c> Jesus</c><00:46:42.619><c> Christ</c>

and<00:46:44.840><c> Him</c><00:46:45.360><c> crucified.</c>

00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:50.460
And<00:46:48.880><c> we</c><00:46:49.039><c> should</c><00:46:49.199><c> do</c><00:46:49.340><c> the</c><00:46:49.539><c> same.</c>

00:46:51.659 --> 00:46:54.320
We've<00:46:51.840><c> got</c><00:46:51.920><c> a</c><00:46:52.079><c> world</c><00:46:52.219><c> today</c><00:46:52.559><c> that's</c><00:46:52.920><c> very</c><00:46:53.280><c> Jesuistic,</c><00:46:54.039><c> isn't</c><00:46:54.199><c> it?</c>

00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:57.320
Its<00:46:54.579><c> religions</c><00:46:54.960><c> are</c><00:46:55.360><c> Jesuistic.</c>

00:46:57.800 --> 00:46:58.800
Because<00:46:57.960><c> they've</c><00:46:58.139><c> got</c><00:46:58.260><c> a</c><00:46:58.420><c> trinity.</c>

00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:00.800
They<00:46:59.400><c> think</c><00:46:59.699><c> that</c><00:46:59.880><c> Jesus</c><00:47:00.179><c> is</c><00:47:00.500><c> God.</c>

00:47:01.260 --> 00:47:02.619
We<00:47:01.460><c> know</c><00:47:01.699><c> better.</c>

We<00:47:03.440><c> know</c><00:47:03.780><c> that</c><00:47:03.980><c> our</c><00:47:04.139><c> Lord</c><00:47:04.320><c> Jesus</c><00:47:04.760><c> Christ</c>

00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:08.320
That<00:47:07.300><c> He</c><00:47:07.420><c> bore</c><00:47:07.659><c> our</c><00:47:07.940><c> nature.</c>

00:47:08.820 --> 00:47:10.340
That<00:47:08.980><c> the</c><00:47:09.179><c> real</c><00:47:09.559><c> Redeemer</c><00:47:10.000><c> here,</c>

the<00:47:10.699><c> real</c><00:47:11.099><c> Saviour,</c><00:47:11.960><c> is</c><00:47:12.199><c> Yahweh</c><00:47:12.460><c> Himself.</c>

00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:17.960
And<00:47:14.920><c> that's</c><00:47:15.059><c> what</c><00:47:15.199><c> you</c><00:47:15.400><c> read</c><00:47:15.539><c> at</c><00:47:15.739><c> the</c><00:47:15.820><c> end</c><00:47:16.199><c> of</c><00:47:16.380><c> Exodus</c><00:47:16.679><c> 17.</c>

00:47:18.340 --> 00:47:21.039
For<00:47:18.679><c> He</c><00:47:19.019><c> said,</c><00:47:19.260><c> this</c><00:47:19.480><c> is</c><00:47:19.659><c> Yahweh</c><00:47:20.139><c> saying,</c>

00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:24.940
because<00:47:22.820><c> Yahweh</c><00:47:23.400><c> has</c><00:47:23.780><c> sworn.</c>

00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:26.980
Sworn?

00:47:27.579 --> 00:47:28.199
Yeah.

00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:29.559
He's<00:47:28.380><c> sevened</c><00:47:28.539><c> Himself.</c>

00:47:31.059 --> 00:47:32.380
Yahweh<00:47:31.579><c> has</c><00:47:31.860><c> sworn</c>

00:47:32.380 --> 00:47:34.980
that<00:47:33.500><c> He</c><00:47:33.699><c> will</c><00:47:33.880><c> have</c><00:47:34.219><c> war</c>

00:47:34.980 --> 00:47:38.039
with<00:47:35.500><c> Amalek</c><00:47:35.960><c> from</c><00:47:36.219><c> generation</c><00:47:36.699><c> to</c><00:47:36.800><c> generation.</c>

00:47:38.079 --> 00:47:39.440
And<00:47:38.179><c> there's</c><00:47:38.260><c> not</c><00:47:38.460><c> a</c><00:47:38.639><c> mind</c><00:47:38.860><c> in</c><00:47:39.019><c> this</c><00:47:39.280><c> room</c>

00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:42.519
that's<00:47:39.599><c> not</c><00:47:39.820><c> back</c><00:47:40.039><c> in</c><00:47:40.159><c> Genesis</c><00:47:40.460><c> 3</c><00:47:40.800><c>.15.</c>

00:47:42.699 --> 00:47:43.840
Oh,<00:47:42.900><c> He</c><00:47:42.940><c> will</c><00:47:43.119><c> put</c><00:47:43.380><c> enmity</c>

00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:46.059
between<00:47:44.260><c> the</c><00:47:44.539><c> serpent</c><00:47:44.840><c> and</c><00:47:45.039><c> the</c><00:47:45.239><c> woman.</c>

00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:49.460
Between<00:47:46.780><c> the</c><00:47:47.380><c> serpent</c><00:47:47.639><c> seed</c><00:47:47.840><c> and</c><00:47:47.960><c> the</c><00:47:48.119><c> woman</c><00:47:48.460><c> seed.</c>

00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:52.099
He,<00:47:50.360><c> He</c><00:47:50.840><c> will</c><00:47:51.179><c> bruise</c><00:47:51.599><c> thy</c><00:47:51.840><c> head</c>

00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:53.780
in<00:47:52.960><c> His</c><00:47:53.179><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:47:54.219 --> 00:47:56.440
He<00:47:54.460><c> will</c><00:47:54.679><c> bruise</c><00:47:54.960><c> the</c><00:47:55.239><c> serpent's</c><00:47:55.679><c> head</c>

00:47:56.559 --> 00:47:58.539
when<00:47:57.079><c> He</c><00:47:57.260><c> died</c><00:47:57.400><c> on</c><00:47:57.599><c> the</c><00:47:57.760><c> cross.</c>

00:47:58.619 --> 00:47:59.800
The<00:47:58.739><c> serpent</c><00:47:59.019><c> at</c><00:47:59.199><c> the</c><00:47:59.340><c> same</c><00:47:59.599><c> time</c>

00:47:59.800 --> 00:48:02.820
would<00:48:00.079><c> bite</c><00:48:00.280><c> Him</c><00:48:01.099><c> with</c><00:48:01.480><c> a</c><00:48:01.639><c> temporary</c><00:48:01.880><c> wound.</c>

00:48:03.380 --> 00:48:06.480
There's<00:48:03.539><c> three</c><00:48:03.860><c> contests</c><00:48:04.380><c> in</c><00:48:04.559><c> Genesis</c><00:48:04.900><c> 3</c><00:48:05.219><c>.15.</c>

00:48:06.500 --> 00:48:08.400
There's<00:48:06.639><c> the</c><00:48:06.840><c> contest</c><00:48:07.079><c> between</c><00:48:07.420><c> two</c><00:48:07.679><c> ways</c><00:48:07.880><c> of</c><00:48:08.139><c> thinking.</c>

00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:10.239
There's<00:48:08.980><c> the</c><00:48:09.219><c> contest</c><00:48:09.480><c> between</c><00:48:09.860><c> Christ</c>

00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:11.380
and<00:48:10.380><c> those</c><00:48:10.619><c> who</c><00:48:10.840><c> murdered</c><00:48:11.039><c> Him,</c>

00:48:11.639 --> 00:48:12.480
the<00:48:11.780><c> seed</c><00:48:11.860><c> of</c><00:48:12.019><c> the</c><00:48:12.179><c> serpent.</c>

00:48:12.900 --> 00:48:14.480
And<00:48:13.059><c> there's</c><00:48:13.239><c> the</c><00:48:13.440><c> contest</c><00:48:13.739><c> that</c><00:48:13.940><c> went</c><00:48:14.039><c> on</c>

00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:17.300
within<00:48:14.760><c> Christ</c><00:48:15.400><c> in</c><00:48:15.980><c> taking</c><00:48:16.340><c> the</c><00:48:16.559><c> very</c><00:48:16.880><c> nature</c>

00:48:17.300 --> 00:48:20.099
that<00:48:17.480><c> He</c><00:48:17.579><c> has</c><00:48:17.840><c> in</c><00:48:17.980><c> common</c><00:48:18.199><c> with</c><00:48:18.380><c> you</c><00:48:18.500><c> and</c><00:48:18.659><c> me</c><00:48:18.780><c> to</c><00:48:18.960><c> the</c><00:48:19.079><c> cross.</c>

00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:23.179
That's<00:48:21.320><c> when</c><00:48:21.579><c> He</c><00:48:21.780><c> defeated</c><00:48:22.159><c> the</c><00:48:22.440><c> serpent.</c>

00:48:23.860 --> 00:48:26.199
And<00:48:23.940><c> that's</c><00:48:24.199><c> the</c><00:48:24.380><c> first</c><00:48:24.699><c> stage</c><00:48:25.059><c> of</c><00:48:25.420><c> three.</c>

00:48:26.460 --> 00:48:28.539
Our<00:48:26.760><c> turn's</c><00:48:27.079><c> about</c><00:48:27.340><c> to</c><00:48:27.579><c> come.</c>

00:48:28.780 --> 00:48:30.539
And<00:48:28.980><c> then</c><00:48:29.079><c> at</c><00:48:29.219><c> the</c><00:48:29.239><c> end</c><00:48:29.380><c> of</c><00:48:29.539><c> a</c><00:48:29.599><c> thousand</c><00:48:29.900><c> years,</c>

00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:34.340
the<00:48:31.159><c> serpent</c><00:48:31.420><c> is</c><00:48:31.719><c> going</c><00:48:31.860><c> to</c><00:48:32.019><c> be</c><00:48:32.239><c> eradicated</c><00:48:32.940><c> eternally.</c>

00:48:34.699 --> 00:48:38.300
And<00:48:34.880><c> Genesis</c><00:48:35.119><c> 3</c><00:48:35.400><c>.15</c><00:48:36.559><c> will</c><00:48:37.000><c> have</c><00:48:37.159><c> been</c><00:48:37.320><c> fulfilled.</c>

00:48:39.380 --> 00:48:41.679
So<00:48:39.820><c> who's</c><00:48:40.039><c> watching</c><00:48:40.280><c> all</c><00:48:40.539><c> these</c><00:48:40.739><c> things?</c>

00:48:43.300 --> 00:48:46.639
Who's<00:48:44.039><c> watching</c><00:48:44.340><c> all</c><00:48:44.599><c> these</c><00:48:44.860><c> things</c><00:48:45.420><c> happen?</c>

00:48:48.280 --> 00:48:49.119
Her.

00:48:50.920 --> 00:48:53.719
The<00:48:51.119><c> father</c><00:48:51.400><c> of</c><00:48:51.559><c> the</c><00:48:51.679><c> man</c><00:48:51.860><c> who</c><00:48:52.039><c> built</c><00:48:52.280><c> Bethlehem.</c>

00:48:53.800 --> 00:48:55.300
You<00:48:53.860><c> know</c><00:48:53.980><c> who</c><00:48:54.420><c> her</c><00:48:54.619><c> mother</c><00:48:54.900><c> was?</c>

00:48:55.420 --> 00:48:58.989
Who's<00:48:55.739><c> her</c><00:48:56.900><c> mother</c><00:48:58.119><c> was?</c>

00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:01.960
Ephrathah.

00:49:04.280 --> 00:49:06.260
Bethlehem<00:49:05.019><c> Ephrathah.</c>

00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:08.019
The<00:49:07.039><c> house</c><00:49:07.219><c> of</c><00:49:07.500><c> bread</c>

00:49:08.019 --> 00:49:10.099

00:49:10.099 --> 00:49:12.039
of<00:49:11.079><c> a</c><00:49:11.219><c> new</c><00:49:11.380><c> life</c>

00:49:12.039 --> 00:49:14.219
