00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:24.960
Okay.

00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.780
Right,<00:00:25.699><c> now</c><00:00:25.820><c> we're</c><00:00:25.960><c> going</c><00:00:26.120><c> to</c><00:00:26.379><c> come</c><00:00:26.660><c> back</c><00:00:26.879><c> with</c><00:00:27.120><c> Abraham</c><00:00:27.500><c> now</c>

00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:28.320
from<00:00:28.019><c> Egypt.</c>

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:32.280
Remember,<00:00:28.820><c> he</c><00:00:29.000><c> went</c><00:00:29.199><c> down</c><00:00:29.420><c> into</c><00:00:29.620><c> Egypt,</c><00:00:30.420><c> driven</c><00:00:30.660><c> there</c><00:00:30.960><c> by</c><00:00:31.239><c> the</c><00:00:31.440><c> fact</c><00:00:31.579><c> that</c><00:00:31.719><c> there</c><00:00:31.859><c> was</c><00:00:32.039><c> a</c>

00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:33.619
famine<00:00:32.439><c> in</c><00:00:32.659><c> the</c><00:00:32.799><c> land.</c>

00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.100
And<00:00:33.899><c> of</c><00:00:34.119><c> course,</c><00:00:34.659><c> the</c><00:00:34.659><c> Canaanite</c><00:00:35.039><c> was</c><00:00:35.179><c> in</c><00:00:35.340><c> the</c><00:00:35.460><c> land</c><00:00:35.640><c> also.</c>

00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.079
And<00:00:36.420><c> we</c><00:00:36.679><c> noted,</c><00:00:37.240><c> brothers</c><00:00:37.240><c> and</c><00:00:37.500><c> sisters,</c><00:00:37.759><c> that</c><00:00:38.420><c> here</c><00:00:38.719><c> was</c><00:00:38.960><c> the</c>

00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:40.399
land<00:00:39.219><c> of</c><00:00:39.560><c> promise.</c>

00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.380
And<00:00:40.700><c> yet,</c><00:00:40.979><c> it</c><00:00:41.060><c> would</c><00:00:41.240><c> appear</c><00:00:41.460><c> to</c><00:00:41.719><c> Abraham</c><00:00:41.960><c> now</c><00:00:42.240><c> there</c><00:00:42.420><c> was</c><00:00:42.700><c> anything</c><00:00:43.179><c> but</c>

00:00:43.380 --> 00:00:44.920
the<00:00:43.579><c> land</c><00:00:43.759><c> of</c><00:00:44.039><c> promise.</c>

00:00:45.179 --> 00:00:47.799
And<00:00:45.439><c> so</c><00:00:45.579><c> he</c><00:00:45.700><c> was</c><00:00:45.979><c> forced</c><00:00:46.200><c> by</c><00:00:46.579><c> circumstances</c><00:00:47.179><c> into</c><00:00:47.500><c> Egypt.</c>

00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:50.840
And<00:00:48.000><c> that's</c><00:00:48.420><c> always</c><00:00:48.840><c> a</c><00:00:49.259><c> dangerous</c><00:00:49.840><c> practice.</c>

00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:53.759
When<00:00:51.299><c> you</c><00:00:51.460><c> go</c><00:00:51.659><c> down</c><00:00:51.979><c> into</c><00:00:52.219><c> Egypt,</c><00:00:52.640><c> you</c><00:00:52.859><c> really</c><00:00:53.100><c> go</c><00:00:53.359><c> down.</c>

00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.579
And<00:00:54.619><c> we</c><00:00:54.759><c> know</c><00:00:54.920><c> what</c><00:00:55.119><c> happened</c><00:00:55.380><c> there,</c><00:00:55.759><c> the</c><00:00:55.960><c> circumstances</c>

00:00:56.579 --> 00:00:58.280
with<00:00:57.219><c> his</c><00:00:57.439><c> wife,</c><00:00:58.039><c> Sarah.</c>

00:00:58.700 --> 00:01:03.179
And<00:00:58.859><c> of</c><00:00:59.039><c> course,</c><00:00:59.219><c> what</c><00:00:59.380><c> happened</c><00:00:59.719><c> out</c><00:01:00.060><c> of</c><00:01:00.179><c> that,</c><00:01:00.719><c> that</c><00:01:00.899><c> God</c><00:01:01.119><c> delivered</c><00:01:01.460><c> him</c><00:01:01.640><c> from</c><00:01:01.780><c> that</c><00:01:02.039><c> circumstance,</c><00:01:02.820><c> and</c><00:01:03.020><c> he</c>

00:01:03.179 --> 00:01:04.159
made<00:01:03.420><c> his</c><00:01:03.619><c> way</c><00:01:03.820><c> back.</c>

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:10.579
Now<00:01:04.540><c> look,</c><00:01:05.299><c> when</c><00:01:05.480><c> we</c><00:01:05.799><c> read</c><00:01:06.019><c> the</c><00:01:06.239><c> early</c><00:01:06.500><c> verses</c><00:01:06.920><c> of</c><00:01:07.140><c> Genesis</c><00:01:07.519><c> 13,</c><00:01:08.219><c> they</c><00:01:08.500><c> are</c><00:01:09.239><c> full</c><00:01:09.579><c> of</c><00:01:09.879><c> meaning.</c>

00:01:11.060 --> 00:01:11.920
They<00:01:11.319><c> really</c><00:01:11.700><c> are.</c>

00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:16.280
Almost<00:01:12.379><c> every</c><00:01:12.900><c> phrase</c><00:01:13.219><c> here</c><00:01:13.640><c> is</c><00:01:14.099><c> pregnant</c><00:01:14.459><c> with</c><00:01:14.739><c> meaning,</c><00:01:15.099><c> because</c><00:01:15.480><c> Abraham</c><00:01:16.000><c> is</c>

00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:17.159
coming<00:01:16.500><c> back,</c>

00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:20.799
he<00:01:17.640><c> commands</c><00:01:18.140><c> not</c><00:01:18.519><c> to</c><00:01:18.760><c> make</c><00:01:18.900><c> that</c><00:01:19.140><c> mistake</c><00:01:19.519><c> again,</c><00:01:20.640><c> although</c>

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:22.120
later<00:01:21.040><c> on</c><00:01:21.159><c> he</c><00:01:21.359><c> did.</c>

00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:24.739
But<00:01:22.859><c> now</c><00:01:23.120><c> he's</c><00:01:23.280><c> coming</c><00:01:23.560><c> back</c><00:01:23.819><c> with</c><00:01:23.980><c> a</c><00:01:24.099><c> new</c><00:01:24.280><c> attitude.</c>

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.420
And<00:01:25.079><c> when</c><00:01:25.180><c> we</c><00:01:25.359><c> pick</c><00:01:25.500><c> up</c><00:01:25.640><c> the</c><00:01:25.819><c> record</c><00:01:26.060><c> in</c><00:01:26.260><c> Genesis</c><00:01:26.599><c> 13,</c><00:01:27.560><c> brothers</c><00:01:27.560><c> and</c><00:01:27.799><c> sisters,</c><00:01:28.040><c> which</c><00:01:28.200><c> I</c>

00:01:28.420 --> 00:01:30.000

00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.599
And<00:01:33.700><c> just</c><00:01:34.040><c> see</c><00:01:34.299><c> the</c><00:01:34.519><c> determination</c><00:01:35.079><c> of</c><00:01:35.379><c> Abraham</c><00:01:35.719><c> here</c><00:01:36.159><c> as</c><00:01:36.400><c> he</c>

00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.719
came<00:01:36.819><c> back</c><00:01:37.219><c> to</c><00:01:37.680><c> make</c><00:01:37.879><c> amends</c><00:01:38.239><c> for</c><00:01:38.480><c> that</c><00:01:38.640><c> mistake.</c>

00:01:40.620 --> 00:01:43.599
And<00:01:40.760><c> we</c><00:01:40.900><c> read</c><00:01:41.019><c> that</c><00:01:41.280><c> Abraham</c><00:01:41.739><c> went</c><00:01:42.200><c> up</c><00:01:42.719><c> out</c><00:01:43.040><c> of</c><00:01:43.239><c> Egypt.</c>

00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.859
It's<00:01:50.359><c> always</c><00:01:50.640><c> the</c><00:01:50.920><c> case.</c>

00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:56.599

00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:25.480

00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:41.180
And<00:07:38.000><c> that's</c><00:07:38.600><c> exactly</c><00:07:39.019><c> what</c><00:07:39.240><c> is</c><00:07:39.420><c> happening</c><00:07:39.740><c> here</c><00:07:39.980><c> with</c><00:07:40.259><c> Abraham.</c>

00:07:42.819 --> 00:07:45.759
Now,<00:07:43.019><c> the</c><00:07:43.220><c> time</c><00:07:43.420><c> came</c><00:07:43.759><c> for</c><00:07:43.959><c> a</c><00:07:44.019><c> decision</c><00:07:44.339><c> to</c><00:07:44.519><c> be</c><00:07:44.740><c> made.</c>

00:07:46.259 --> 00:07:48.899
Because<00:07:46.639><c> we</c><00:07:46.879><c> read</c><00:07:47.060><c> in</c><00:07:47.240><c> verse</c><00:07:47.500><c> 5,</c>

00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.899
And<00:07:49.459><c> Lot</c><00:07:49.639><c> also,</c><00:07:50.259><c> which</c><00:07:50.579><c> went</c><00:07:50.759><c> with</c><00:07:50.980><c> Abraham,</c><00:07:51.420><c> had</c><00:07:51.680><c> flocks</c><00:07:52.240><c> and</c>

00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.980
So<00:07:56.480><c> both</c><00:07:56.779><c> men</c><00:07:57.740><c> are</c><00:07:58.319><c> growing</c><00:07:58.540><c> very</c><00:07:59.000><c> great.</c>

00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:04.480
And<00:08:00.759><c> the</c><00:08:00.920><c> record</c><00:08:01.199><c> says,</c><00:08:01.639><c> and</c><00:08:01.639><c> the</c><00:08:01.800><c> land</c><00:08:02.300><c> was</c><00:08:02.660><c> not</c><00:08:02.920><c> able</c><00:08:03.800><c> to</c>

00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:05.560

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:10.620
The<00:08:06.579><c> land</c><00:08:07.100><c> was</c><00:08:08.259><c> not</c><00:08:08.540><c> able</c><00:08:09.160><c> to</c><00:08:10.000><c> bear</c><00:08:10.220><c> them.</c>

00:08:10.620 --> 00:08:15.600
But<00:08:11.279><c> God</c><00:08:11.579><c> is</c><00:08:11.759><c> going</c><00:08:11.879><c> to</c><00:08:11.980><c> tell</c><00:08:12.160><c> this</c><00:08:12.480><c> man,</c><00:08:13.660><c> under</c><00:08:13.660><c> thy</c><00:08:14.180><c> seed</c><00:08:14.800><c> will</c><00:08:15.399><c> I</c>

00:08:16.660 --> 00:08:19.839
And<00:08:17.000><c> he's</c><00:08:17.199><c> going</c><00:08:17.379><c> to</c><00:08:17.560><c> tell</c><00:08:17.699><c> him</c><00:08:18.180><c> that</c><00:08:18.459><c> this</c><00:08:18.879><c> seed</c><00:08:19.220><c> is</c><00:08:19.600><c> going</c><00:08:19.720><c> to</c>

00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:25.699
And<00:08:22.240><c> he</c><00:08:22.379><c> has</c><00:08:22.519><c> two</c><00:08:22.839><c> families</c><00:08:23.360><c> and</c><00:08:23.839><c> the</c><00:08:24.180><c> land</c><00:08:24.519><c> is</c><00:08:24.980><c> not</c><00:08:25.160><c> able</c><00:08:25.439><c> to</c>

00:08:28.220 --> 00:08:31.920
Now<00:08:28.399><c> you</c><00:08:28.540><c> just</c><00:08:28.920><c> think</c><00:08:29.480><c> of</c><00:08:30.240><c> the</c><00:08:30.500><c> test</c><00:08:30.740><c> upon</c><00:08:31.040><c> Abraham's</c><00:08:31.759><c> face</c>

00:08:37.100 --> 00:08:41.360
Now<00:08:37.580><c> he's</c><00:08:37.820><c> come</c><00:08:38.080><c> back</c><00:08:38.279><c> with</c><00:08:38.539><c> Lot</c><00:08:38.779><c> and</c><00:08:39.240><c> just</c><00:08:39.679><c> two</c><00:08:40.139><c> families</c><00:08:40.759><c> and</c>

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.679
Oh<00:09:08.159><c> we</c><00:09:08.360><c> glibly</c><00:09:08.679><c> say</c><00:09:08.919><c> we</c><00:09:09.179><c> believe</c><00:09:09.480><c> it.</c>

00:09:09.820 --> 00:09:12.559

00:09:13.700 --> 00:09:17.279
It<00:09:13.879><c> seems</c><00:09:14.139><c> that</c><00:09:14.320><c> everything</c><00:09:14.480><c> is</c><00:09:14.919><c> so</c><00:09:15.320><c> real</c><00:09:15.559><c> today</c><00:09:16.039><c> and</c><00:09:16.399><c> unreal</c><00:09:16.779><c> tomorrow.</c>

And<00:17:26.619><c> if</c><00:17:26.740><c> we're</c><00:17:26.980><c> stupid</c><00:17:27.319><c> enough</c><00:17:27.740><c> to</c><00:17:28.119><c> divide</c><00:17:28.380><c> on</c><00:17:28.599><c> issues</c><00:17:28.799><c> where</c>

00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:34.519
I'm<00:17:33.500><c> not</c><00:17:33.660><c> talking</c><00:17:33.960><c> about</c><00:17:34.220><c> them.</c>

00:17:42.900 --> 00:17:44.980
Then<00:17:43.099><c> we</c><00:17:43.319><c> deserve</c><00:17:43.619><c> all</c><00:17:43.839><c> we</c><00:17:44.079><c> get.</c>

the<00:19:16.839><c> truth</c><00:19:16.980><c> as</c><00:19:17.180><c> we</c><00:19:17.380><c> have</c><00:19:17.480><c> it.</c>

00:19:17.779 --> 00:19:19.180
In<00:19:18.039><c> the</c><00:19:18.279><c> covenants</c><00:19:18.579><c> of</c><00:19:18.859><c> promise.</c>

00:19:19.539 --> 00:19:21.500
An<00:19:19.799><c> absolute</c><00:19:20.279><c> disaster.</c>

00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:24.779
Well<00:19:23.920><c> how</c><00:19:24.119><c> did</c><00:19:24.240><c> Lot</c><00:19:24.480><c> separate?</c>

00:19:24.859 --> 00:19:25.759
Why<00:19:25.079><c> did</c><00:19:25.259><c> he</c><00:19:25.460><c> separate?</c>

00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:31.099
It's<00:19:26.880><c> very</c><00:19:27.119><c> interesting</c><00:19:27.619><c> to</c><00:19:27.880><c> follow</c><00:19:28.039><c> the</c><00:19:28.539><c> retrogression</c><00:19:29.720><c> of</c><00:19:30.420><c> Lot.</c>

00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:33.480
Look<00:19:31.900><c> for</c><00:19:32.099><c> example</c><00:19:32.460><c> in</c><00:19:32.740><c> verse</c><00:19:32.960><c> 7.</c>

00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:36.160
First<00:19:33.960><c> of</c><00:19:34.160><c> all</c><00:19:34.299><c> brothers</c><00:19:34.539><c> and</c><00:19:34.779><c> sisters</c><00:19:35.039><c> the</c><00:19:35.259><c> first</c><00:19:35.619><c> step</c><00:19:35.900><c> in</c>

00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:39.200
the<00:19:36.319><c> process</c><00:19:36.880><c> is</c><00:19:38.059><c> strife.</c>

00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:42.259
It<00:19:39.900><c> always</c><00:19:40.339><c> begins</c><00:19:40.920><c> with</c><00:19:41.319><c> strife.</c>

00:19:43.099 --> 00:19:47.259
And<00:19:43.200><c> when</c><00:19:43.279><c> there's</c><00:19:43.500><c> strife</c><00:19:43.920><c> of</c><00:19:44.160><c> course</c><00:19:45.180><c> then</c><00:19:45.599><c> it</c><00:19:45.839><c> becomes</c><00:19:46.160><c> discontent.</c>

00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:49.539
And<00:19:48.359><c> we</c><00:19:48.619><c> separate.</c>

00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:52.059
And<00:19:50.740><c> then</c><00:19:50.859><c> in</c><00:19:51.079><c> verse</c><00:19:51.279><c> 10.</c>

00:19:52.059 --> 00:19:56.839
He<00:19:53.039><c> lifted</c><00:19:53.400><c> up</c><00:19:53.680><c> his</c><00:19:53.940><c> eyes</c><00:19:54.180><c> and</c><00:19:54.480><c> he</c><00:19:54.720><c> beheld</c><00:19:55.500><c> all</c><00:19:55.839><c> the</c><00:19:56.059><c> plain</c><00:19:56.240><c> of</c><00:19:56.500><c> Jordan.</c>

00:19:57.180 --> 00:20:01.200
So<00:19:57.339><c> the</c><00:19:57.680><c> sight</c><00:19:57.960><c> of</c><00:19:58.180><c> his</c><00:19:58.420><c> eyes</c><00:19:59.180><c> begin</c><00:19:59.700><c> to</c><00:19:59.960><c> lead</c><00:20:00.059><c> him</c><00:20:00.299><c> away.</c>

00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:03.619
So<00:20:01.880><c> this</c><00:20:02.160><c> strife.</c>

00:20:03.660 --> 00:20:06.160
There's<00:20:04.000><c> the</c><00:20:04.200><c> lifting</c><00:20:04.420><c> up</c><00:20:04.660><c> of</c><00:20:04.799><c> his</c><00:20:05.019><c> eyes.</c>

00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:07.779
And<00:20:06.339><c> then</c><00:20:06.480><c> in</c><00:20:06.660><c> verse</c><00:20:06.859><c> 11.</c>

00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.000
Lot<00:20:07.799><c> chose</c><00:20:08.640><c> all</c><00:20:09.380><c> the</c><00:20:09.640><c> plain</c><00:20:09.799><c> of</c><00:20:10.079><c> Jordan.</c>

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:14.839
And<00:20:13.200><c> verse</c><00:20:13.440><c> 12.</c>

00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:17.359
It<00:20:15.539><c> says</c><00:20:15.700><c> at</c><00:20:15.940><c> the</c><00:20:16.019><c> end</c><00:20:16.140><c> of</c><00:20:16.240><c> that</c><00:20:16.480><c> verse.</c>

00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:20.900
He<00:20:17.700><c> pitched</c><00:20:18.019><c> his</c><00:20:18.400><c> tent</c><00:20:19.079><c> toward</c><00:20:20.220><c> Sodom.</c>

00:20:20.900 --> 00:20:23.799
So<00:20:21.180><c> he's</c><00:20:21.339><c> only</c><00:20:21.559><c> just</c><00:20:21.880><c> going</c><00:20:22.119><c> in</c><00:20:22.500><c> that</c><00:20:22.859><c> direction</c><00:20:23.299><c> you</c><00:20:23.579><c> see.</c>

00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:26.220
And<00:20:24.000><c> he's</c><00:20:24.319><c> still</c><00:20:24.599><c> got</c><00:20:25.079><c> a</c><00:20:25.440><c> tent.</c>

00:20:27.299 --> 00:20:30.839
And<00:20:27.480><c> he</c><00:20:27.599><c> just</c><00:20:27.880><c> pitches</c><00:20:28.079><c> his</c><00:20:28.460><c> tent</c><00:20:28.779><c> in</c><00:20:29.400><c> that</c><00:20:29.759><c> direction.</c>

00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:35.000
But<00:20:32.279><c> down</c><00:20:32.599><c> there</c><00:20:32.799><c> brothers</c><00:20:33.079><c> and</c><00:20:33.359><c> sisters</c><00:20:33.759><c> are</c><00:20:34.200><c> dreadful</c><00:20:34.740><c> people.</c>

00:20:35.059 --> 00:20:36.720
But<00:20:35.180><c> it's</c><00:20:35.400><c> a</c><00:20:35.720><c> beautiful</c><00:20:36.200><c> country.</c>

00:20:37.019 --> 00:20:38.599
And<00:20:37.240><c> it</c><00:20:37.440><c> offers</c><00:20:37.680><c> great</c><00:20:38.140><c> prospects.</c>

00:20:38.940 --> 00:20:41.859
The<00:20:39.059><c> Jordan</c><00:20:39.359><c> Valley</c><00:20:39.640><c> then</c><00:20:39.940><c> was</c><00:20:40.180><c> not</c><00:20:40.420><c> like</c><00:20:40.579><c> it</c><00:20:40.700><c> is</c><00:20:40.880><c> now.</c>

00:20:42.940 --> 00:20:45.599
And<00:20:43.119><c> so</c><00:20:43.319><c> Lot's</c><00:20:43.700><c> decline</c><00:20:44.279><c> continued.</c>

00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.880
And<00:20:45.819><c> as</c><00:20:46.000><c> he</c><00:20:46.140><c> went</c><00:20:46.380><c> towards</c><00:20:47.039><c> Sodom</c><00:20:47.359><c> to</c><00:20:47.819><c> pitch</c><00:20:48.099><c> his</c><00:20:48.539><c> tent.</c>

00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.019
It<00:20:49.339><c> wasn't</c><00:20:49.759><c> long</c><00:20:50.059><c> until</c><00:20:50.259><c> we</c><00:20:50.359><c> come</c><00:20:50.559><c> to</c><00:20:50.700><c> chapter</c><00:20:51.000><c> 19</c><00:20:51.460><c> and</c><00:20:51.700><c> verse</c>

00:20:52.019 --> 00:20:53.819
1<00:20:52.319><c> when</c><00:20:52.480><c> we</c><00:20:52.759><c> read.</c>

00:20:54.059 --> 00:20:56.460
And<00:20:54.140><c> there</c><00:20:54.339><c> came</c><00:20:54.579><c> two</c><00:20:54.960><c> angels</c><00:20:55.339><c> to</c><00:20:55.700><c> Sodom</c><00:20:55.940><c> and</c><00:20:56.119><c> even.</c>

00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.140
And<00:20:56.960><c> Lot</c><00:20:57.259><c> sat</c><00:20:57.740><c> in</c><00:20:58.059><c> the</c><00:20:58.359><c> gate</c><00:20:58.640><c> of</c><00:20:59.039><c> Sodom.</c>

00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:04.779
So<00:21:02.180><c> he's</c><00:21:02.480><c> among</c><00:21:02.759><c> the</c><00:21:03.059><c> rulers</c><00:21:03.359><c> of</c><00:21:03.559><c> that</c><00:21:03.799><c> country.</c>

00:21:05.420 --> 00:21:07.759
As<00:21:05.579><c> a</c><00:21:05.680><c> matter</c><00:21:05.799><c> of</c><00:21:05.960><c> fact</c><00:21:06.079><c> the</c><00:21:06.299><c> Sodomites</c><00:21:06.759><c> accused</c><00:21:07.140><c> him</c><00:21:07.339><c> of</c><00:21:07.559><c> that.</c>

00:21:08.019 --> 00:21:09.500
He<00:21:08.160><c> has</c><00:21:08.440><c> grown</c><00:21:08.619><c> to</c><00:21:08.839><c> great</c><00:21:09.099><c> prominence.</c>

00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:12.519
Such<00:21:09.980><c> great</c><00:21:10.359><c> prominence</c><00:21:10.779><c> that</c><00:21:11.079><c> his</c><00:21:11.420><c> wife</c><00:21:11.720><c> is</c><00:21:12.000><c> caught</c><00:21:12.200><c> up</c><00:21:12.400><c> in</c>

00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:14.000
the<00:21:12.759><c> social</c><00:21:13.059><c> aspect</c><00:21:13.380><c> of</c><00:21:13.539><c> that</c><00:21:13.759><c> city.</c>

Her<00:21:14.740><c> heart</c><00:21:15.019><c> is</c><00:21:15.380><c> entwined</c><00:21:15.859><c> in</c><00:21:16.039><c> that</c><00:21:16.240><c> wickedness</c><00:21:16.640><c> brothers</c><00:21:16.880><c> and</c><00:21:17.180><c> sisters.</c>

00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:20.539
And<00:21:17.920><c> she</c><00:21:18.079><c> settled</c><00:21:18.460><c> down</c><00:21:18.940><c> in</c><00:21:19.220><c> a</c><00:21:19.420><c> luxurious</c><00:21:19.920><c> situation.</c>

00:21:23.259 --> 00:21:26.440
And<00:21:23.480><c> poor</c><00:21:23.759><c> Lot</c><00:21:24.039><c> has</c><00:21:25.339><c> walked</c><00:21:25.680><c> into</c><00:21:25.940><c> disaster.</c>

00:21:26.539 --> 00:21:29.579
You<00:21:26.599><c> know</c><00:21:27.319><c> Peter's</c><00:21:27.920><c> comment</c><00:21:28.160><c> concerning</c><00:21:28.599><c> Lot</c><00:21:28.900><c> that</c><00:21:29.039><c> he</c><00:21:29.160><c> is</c><00:21:29.359><c> a</c>

He<00:21:30.519><c> becks</c><00:21:30.819><c> his</c><00:21:31.160><c> soul.</c>

00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:33.700
Lot<00:21:31.720><c> will</c><00:21:32.019><c> be</c><00:21:32.220><c> in</c><00:21:32.359><c> the</c><00:21:32.519><c> kingdom</c><00:21:32.740><c> of</c><00:21:32.960><c> God</c><00:21:33.160><c> I</c><00:21:33.380><c> believe.</c>

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:36.980

00:21:41.019 --> 00:21:44.259
But<00:21:41.160><c> he</c><00:21:41.359><c> hung</c><00:21:41.500><c> on</c><00:21:41.660><c> to</c><00:21:41.799><c> his</c><00:21:42.059><c> faith</c><00:21:42.240><c> even</c><00:21:42.539><c> in</c><00:21:42.799><c> those</c><00:21:43.000><c> circumstances.</c>

00:21:44.539 --> 00:21:46.579

00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:02.480
It's<00:25:01.619><c> like</c><00:25:01.779><c> the</c><00:25:01.960><c> garden</c><00:25:02.180><c> of</c><00:25:02.380><c> Eden.</c>

00:25:02.740 --> 00:25:03.660

And<00:33:56.880><c> what</c><00:33:57.079><c> happened?</c>

00:33:57.759 --> 00:33:59.039
Hundreds<00:33:57.960><c> of</c><00:33:58.240><c> people.</c>

00:33:59.099 --> 00:34:00.680
Thousands<00:33:59.319><c> of</c><00:33:59.539><c> people</c><00:33:59.759><c> believed</c><00:34:00.099><c> the</c><00:34:00.380><c> truth.</c>

00:34:01.180 --> 00:34:03.759
And<00:34:01.380><c> they</c><00:34:01.759><c> sprang</c><00:34:02.079><c> up</c><00:34:02.400><c> like</c><00:34:02.700><c> reeds</c><00:34:02.980><c> of</c><00:34:03.140><c> the</c><00:34:03.299><c> water</c><00:34:03.559><c> course.</c>

00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:05.119
Like<00:34:04.279><c> rushes</c><00:34:04.619><c> of</c><00:34:04.720><c> the</c><00:34:04.839><c> river.</c>

From<00:34:06.799><c> the</c><00:34:07.019><c> dust</c><00:34:07.339><c> of</c><00:34:07.579><c> the</c><00:34:07.740><c> earth.</c>

00:34:08.059 --> 00:34:10.179
And<00:34:08.679><c> those</c><00:34:08.960><c> same</c><00:34:09.340><c> people.</c>

00:34:10.500 --> 00:34:11.900
As<00:34:10.639><c> they</c><00:34:10.920><c> develop</c><00:34:11.139><c> in</c><00:34:11.280><c> their</c><00:34:11.500><c> faith.</c>

00:34:12.260 --> 00:34:15.159
One<00:34:12.500><c> day</c><00:34:12.760><c> brothers</c><00:34:13.019><c> and</c><00:34:13.300><c> sisters</c><00:34:13.480><c> will</c><00:34:13.739><c> shine</c><00:34:14.059><c> like</c><00:34:14.519><c> stars</c><00:34:14.960><c> of</c>

00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:16.239
the<00:34:15.300><c> firmament.</c>

00:34:16.659 --> 00:34:18.500
It<00:34:16.699><c> was</c><00:34:16.900><c> a</c><00:34:17.039><c> wonderful</c><00:34:17.480><c> promise.</c>

00:34:19.179 --> 00:34:20.619
But<00:34:19.340><c> it's</c><00:34:19.719><c> conditional.</c>

00:34:23.340 --> 00:34:24.639
It's<00:34:23.659><c> conditional.</c>

00:34:25.699 --> 00:34:28.480
And<00:34:25.820><c> here</c><00:34:26.000><c> comes</c><00:34:26.780><c> a</c><00:34:27.260><c> marvellous</c><00:34:27.679><c> thing.</c>

00:34:29.300 --> 00:34:32.500
You<00:34:29.440><c> see</c><00:34:29.860><c> Abraham</c><00:34:30.599><c> was</c><00:34:30.840><c> told</c><00:34:31.079><c> brothers</c><00:34:31.380><c> and</c><00:34:31.619><c> sisters.</c>

Now<00:34:37.599><c> that</c><00:34:37.820><c> wasn't</c><00:34:38.219><c> said</c><00:34:38.519><c> idly.</c>

00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:43.079
I<00:34:40.199><c> want</c><00:34:40.380><c> to</c><00:34:40.539><c> show</c><00:34:40.679><c> you</c><00:34:40.860><c> now</c><00:34:41.119><c> how</c><00:34:41.239><c> that</c><00:34:41.460><c> ran</c><00:34:41.659><c> through</c><00:34:41.880><c> the</c><00:34:42.039><c> Bible.</c>

00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:51.099
And<00:34:49.960><c> the</c><00:34:50.119><c> apostle</c><00:34:50.420><c> tells</c><00:34:50.719><c> us.</c>

00:34:51.219 --> 00:34:52.940
And<00:34:51.340><c> I'm</c><00:34:51.460><c> not</c><00:34:51.639><c> turning</c><00:34:51.820><c> these</c><00:34:52.099><c> references</c><00:34:52.420><c> up.</c>

00:34:53.139 --> 00:34:53.940
Because<00:34:53.320><c> you</c><00:34:53.440><c> know</c><00:34:53.619><c> them</c><00:34:53.840><c> well.</c>

00:34:54.059 --> 00:34:55.880
I<00:34:54.099><c> understand</c><00:34:54.460><c> you</c><00:34:54.639><c> know</c><00:34:54.760><c> them</c><00:34:55.000><c> well.</c>

00:34:55.900 --> 00:35:00.179
He<00:34:55.960><c> says</c><00:34:56.119><c> Abraham</c><00:34:56.699><c> is</c><00:34:57.619><c> not</c><00:34:57.820><c> only</c><00:34:58.599><c> the</c><00:34:59.039><c> father</c><00:34:59.340><c> of</c><00:34:59.519><c> the</c><00:34:59.760><c> circumcision.</c>

00:35:03.500 --> 00:35:05.699
He<00:35:03.599><c> said</c><00:35:03.679><c> he's</c><00:35:03.840><c> not</c><00:35:04.039><c> only</c><00:35:04.320><c> the</c><00:35:04.579><c> father</c><00:35:04.780><c> of</c><00:35:04.960><c> the</c><00:35:05.159><c> circumcision.</c>

00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:35.699
He<00:35:33.239><c> was</c><00:35:33.460><c> saying</c><00:35:33.679><c> brothers</c><00:35:33.960><c> and</c><00:35:34.239><c> sisters</c><00:35:34.500><c> that</c><00:35:34.840><c> this</c><00:35:35.260><c> promise</c>

And<00:35:38.519><c> Abraham's</c><00:35:39.139><c> participation</c><00:35:39.679><c> would</c><00:35:39.960><c> be</c><00:35:40.199><c> dependent</c><00:35:40.619><c> on</c><00:35:41.019><c> where</c><00:35:41.460><c> his</c>

00:36:41.059 --> 00:36:42.440
What<00:36:41.239><c> a</c><00:36:41.400><c> wonderful</c><00:36:41.639><c> thing</c><00:36:41.840><c> that</c><00:36:42.079><c> was.</c>

00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:44.860
Now<00:36:42.840><c> let</c><00:36:42.980><c> me</c><00:36:43.079><c> tell</c><00:36:43.219><c> you</c><00:36:43.280><c> how</c><00:36:43.400><c> that</c><00:36:43.599><c> worked</c><00:36:43.840><c> out.</c>

00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:59.539
It<00:36:56.719><c> was</c><00:36:56.940><c> dependent</c><00:36:57.340><c> upon</c><00:36:57.739><c> faith</c><00:36:58.199><c> in</c><00:36:58.460><c> action.</c>

00:37:04.179 --> 00:37:06.219
Then<00:37:04.340><c> Abraham</c><00:37:04.679><c> removed</c><00:37:05.119><c> his</c><00:37:05.440><c> tent.</c>

00:37:11.099 --> 00:37:14.260
Immediately<00:37:11.699><c> after</c><00:37:12.300><c> the</c><00:37:12.599><c> promise</c><00:37:12.840><c> of</c><00:37:13.019><c> the</c><00:37:13.159><c> land</c><00:37:13.360><c> he</c><00:37:13.619><c> removed</c>

his<00:37:14.639><c> tent.</c>

00:37:15.900 --> 00:37:18.719
He<00:37:16.159><c> pulled</c><00:37:16.320><c> up</c><00:37:16.619><c> the</c><00:37:17.280><c> pegs</c><00:37:17.719><c> and</c><00:37:18.119><c> the</c><00:37:18.320><c> ropes.</c>

And<00:37:20.139><c> off</c><00:37:20.280><c> he</c><00:37:20.539><c> went.</c>

00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:24.719
And<00:37:22.360><c> finally</c><00:37:22.699><c> came</c><00:37:23.000><c> down</c><00:37:23.300><c> through</c><00:37:23.880><c> past</c><00:37:24.219><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:37:24.780 --> 00:37:27.519
About<00:37:24.980><c> 20</c><00:37:25.280><c> miles</c><00:37:25.619><c> south</c><00:37:25.940><c> of</c><00:37:26.119><c> Jerusalem</c><00:37:26.480><c> to</c><00:37:26.800><c> Hebron.</c>

00:37:31.579 --> 00:37:33.219
Now<00:37:31.739><c> just</c><00:37:31.920><c> think</c><00:37:32.119><c> of</c><00:37:32.280><c> this.</c>

00:37:33.300 --> 00:37:36.639
And<00:37:33.400><c> so</c><00:37:33.559><c> Paul</c><00:37:33.739><c> says</c><00:37:34.039><c> we</c><00:37:34.360><c> also</c><00:37:34.820><c> walk</c><00:37:35.239><c> in</c><00:37:35.420><c> the</c><00:37:35.619><c> steps</c><00:37:35.780><c> of</c><00:37:36.019><c> that</c><00:37:36.280><c> faith</c><00:37:36.460><c> of</c>

00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:48.500
Caleb<00:37:45.920><c> I</c><00:37:46.519><c> believe</c><00:37:46.800><c> was</c><00:37:47.000><c> a</c><00:37:47.119><c> Gentile.</c>

00:37:48.760 --> 00:37:51.159

00:37:51.500 --> 00:37:53.559
And<00:37:51.659><c> his</c><00:37:51.820><c> name</c><00:37:52.019><c> means</c><00:37:52.480><c> a</c><00:37:52.760><c> dog.</c>

00:37:56.480 --> 00:37:58.500
You<00:37:56.599><c> remember</c><00:37:56.739><c> the</c><00:37:56.840><c> woman</c><00:37:57.059><c> of</c><00:37:57.320><c> Syropenicia?</c>

00:38:05.699 --> 00:38:08.480
And<00:38:05.960><c> if</c><00:38:06.119><c> we</c><00:38:06.300><c> read</c><00:38:06.500><c> the</c><00:38:06.679><c> record</c><00:38:07.099><c> correctly</c><00:38:07.679><c> as</c><00:38:07.900><c> the</c><00:38:08.039><c> Hebraists</c>

00:38:19.340 --> 00:38:21.179
So<00:38:19.400><c> old</c><00:38:19.659><c> Caleb</c><00:38:19.820><c> you</c><00:38:20.000><c> know</c><00:38:20.079><c> was</c><00:38:20.239><c> a</c><00:38:20.360><c> pretty</c><00:38:20.539><c> rough</c><00:38:20.760><c> old</c><00:38:20.980><c> diamond.</c>

And<00:38:22.599><c> he</c><00:38:22.679><c> came</c><00:38:22.900><c> from</c><00:38:23.000><c> among</c><00:38:23.260><c> the</c><00:38:23.460><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:26.519
But<00:38:24.659><c> he</c><00:38:24.760><c> had</c><00:38:24.960><c> a</c><00:38:25.019><c> towering</c><00:38:25.679><c> faith</c><00:38:25.920><c> brothers</c><00:38:26.199><c> and</c><00:38:26.420><c> sisters.</c>

And<00:38:26.639><c> he</c><00:38:26.880><c> believed</c><00:38:27.159><c> in</c><00:38:27.460><c> God.</c>

00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:30.519
