00:02:20.699 --> 00:02:24.539
We<00:02:20.860><c> think</c><00:02:21.000><c> about</c><00:02:21.719><c> where</c><00:02:22.219><c> we've</c><00:02:22.520><c> been,</c><00:02:23.080><c> what</c><00:02:23.259><c> we've</c><00:02:23.520><c> done.</c>

00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:28.159
We<00:02:25.060><c> examine</c><00:02:25.439><c> ourselves</c><00:02:25.879><c> before</c><00:02:26.180><c> we've</c><00:02:26.419><c> taken</c><00:02:26.659><c> the</c><00:02:26.979><c> emblems,</c>

00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.719

00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:41.159
and<00:02:36.259><c> we</c><00:02:36.560><c> resolve</c><00:02:37.080><c> to</c><00:02:38.360><c> renew</c><00:02:39.539><c> our</c><00:02:40.879><c> covenant</c>

00:02:51.740 --> 00:02:52.919
That's<00:02:51.979><c> life</c><00:02:52.159><c> in</c><00:02:52.259><c> the</c><00:02:52.419><c> truth,</c><00:02:52.699><c> isn't</c><00:02:52.840><c> it?</c>

00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:54.180
It's<00:02:53.159><c> a</c><00:02:53.319><c> struggle.</c>

00:02:54.740 --> 00:02:59.199
There<00:02:54.860><c> are</c><00:02:55.099><c> ups</c><00:02:55.360><c> and</c><00:02:55.659><c> downs,</c><00:02:57.520><c> but</c><00:02:57.680><c> you</c><00:02:57.780><c> know,</c><00:02:58.199><c> what</c><00:02:58.379><c> Samson</c><00:02:58.780><c> learned</c><00:02:59.039><c> is</c>

00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.300

00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.019
It's<00:06:02.000><c> boundless,</c><00:06:03.420><c> as</c><00:06:03.620><c> we</c><00:06:03.720><c> will</c><00:06:03.959><c> see</c><00:06:04.100><c> in</c><00:06:04.240><c> the</c><00:06:04.360><c> life</c><00:06:04.519><c> of</c><00:06:04.740><c> Samson</c>

00:06:06.660 --> 00:06:11.259

not<00:06:12.279><c> unconditional.</c>

00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.620
And<00:06:13.980><c> let</c><00:06:14.300><c> our</c><00:06:14.540><c> Lord</c><00:06:14.720><c> Jesus</c><00:06:15.220><c> Christ</c><00:06:15.720><c> make</c><00:06:16.120><c> that</c><00:06:16.459><c> very</c><00:06:16.759><c> clear</c><00:06:17.199><c> in</c>

00:06:17.620 --> 00:06:18.100
our<00:06:17.879><c> lives.</c>

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.740
In<00:06:18.300><c> John</c><00:06:18.560><c> chapter</c><00:06:18.839><c> 15,</c><00:06:19.379><c> He</c><00:06:19.500><c> makes</c><00:06:19.720><c> it</c><00:06:20.040><c> very</c><00:06:20.680><c> clear.</c>

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.980
John<00:06:22.279><c> 15,</c><00:06:23.860><c> this</c><00:06:24.000><c> is</c><00:06:24.180><c> the</c><00:06:24.259><c> chapter</c><00:06:24.480><c> in</c><00:06:24.620><c> which</c><00:06:24.699><c> He</c><00:06:24.819><c> deals</c><00:06:25.420><c> with</c>

00:06:25.980 --> 00:06:28.560
He<00:06:26.220><c> being</c><00:06:26.480><c> the</c><00:06:26.759><c> vine</c><00:06:26.920><c> and</c><00:06:27.079><c> we</c><00:06:27.399><c> the</c><00:06:27.560><c> branches.</c>

00:06:28.660 --> 00:06:31.720
And<00:06:29.180><c> if</c><00:06:29.360><c> we</c><00:06:29.620><c> abide</c><00:06:29.879><c> in</c><00:06:30.040><c> Him,</c><00:06:30.300><c> we</c><00:06:30.379><c> can</c><00:06:30.660><c> bear</c><00:06:30.879><c> fruit.</c>

00:06:32.379 --> 00:06:35.600
He<00:06:32.519><c> also</c><00:06:32.819><c> reminds</c><00:06:33.199><c> us</c><00:06:33.420><c> that</c><00:06:33.540><c> if</c><00:06:33.620><c> we</c><00:06:33.779><c> do</c><00:06:34.040><c> bear</c><00:06:34.300><c> fruit,</c><00:06:35.420><c> then</c><00:06:35.540><c> we</c>

00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:40.439
Trials,<00:06:39.160><c> difficulties</c><00:06:39.680><c> will</c><00:06:40.000><c> come.</c>

00:06:40.779 --> 00:06:43.300
So<00:06:40.899><c> that</c><00:06:41.000><c> we</c><00:06:41.100><c> might</c><00:06:41.319><c> bring</c><00:06:41.579><c> forth</c><00:06:41.980><c> more</c><00:06:42.240><c> fruit</c><00:06:42.579><c> in</c><00:06:42.980><c> the</c><00:06:43.079><c> next</c>

00:06:45.100 --> 00:06:47.839

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.000
That's<00:06:48.759><c> the</c><00:06:48.959><c> story</c><00:06:49.259><c> of</c><00:06:49.500><c> life</c><00:06:49.639><c> and</c><00:06:49.759><c> the</c><00:06:49.959><c> truth,</c><00:06:50.319><c> is</c><00:06:50.480><c> it</c><00:06:50.660><c> not?</c>

00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:55.980
But<00:06:51.819><c> look</c><00:06:52.000><c> what</c><00:06:52.019><c> He</c><00:06:52.139><c> says</c><00:06:52.439><c> in</c><00:06:52.639><c> John</c><00:06:52.939><c> 15</c><00:06:53.439><c> verses</c><00:06:53.879><c> 9</c><00:06:54.399><c> and</c><00:06:54.680><c> 10.</c>

00:06:57.500 --> 00:07:01.980

00:07:16.860 --> 00:07:19.420
So<00:07:17.079><c> what</c><00:07:17.199><c> if</c><00:07:17.300><c> Christ</c><00:07:17.660><c> hadn't</c><00:07:17.959><c> kept</c><00:07:18.279><c> His</c><00:07:18.519><c> Father's</c><00:07:19.000><c> commandments?</c>

What<00:07:23.019><c> do</c><00:07:23.120><c> you</c><00:07:23.220><c> think</c><00:07:23.420><c> the</c><00:07:23.660><c> conclusion</c><00:07:24.120><c> would</c><00:07:24.420><c> be?</c>

00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:28.360
Well,<00:07:25.279><c> the</c><00:07:25.339><c> very</c><00:07:25.579><c> same,</c><00:07:26.259><c> that</c><00:07:26.360><c> if</c><00:07:26.519><c> we</c><00:07:26.720><c> don't</c><00:07:26.980><c> keep</c><00:07:27.199><c> His</c><00:07:27.459><c> commandments,</c><00:07:27.959><c> then</c>

00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.560
we<00:07:28.699><c> don't</c><00:07:29.199><c> abide</c><00:07:29.899><c> in</c><00:07:30.459><c> His</c><00:07:30.720><c> love.</c>

00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.459
His<00:07:32.019><c> love</c><00:07:32.300><c> and</c><00:07:32.500><c> God's</c><00:07:32.839><c> love</c><00:07:33.079><c> is</c><00:07:33.420><c> not</c><00:07:34.220><c> unconditional.</c>

00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:40.959
But<00:07:37.240><c> when</c><00:07:37.379><c> it</c><00:07:37.540><c> can</c><00:07:37.860><c> be</c><00:07:38.160><c> shown,</c><00:07:39.240><c> it's</c><00:07:39.680><c> boundless.</c>

00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.000
So<00:07:45.920><c> we</c><00:07:46.040><c> have,</c><00:07:46.720><c> of</c><00:07:46.939><c> course,</c><00:07:47.240><c> that</c><00:07:47.459><c> problem.</c>

00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:06.819

So<00:11:04.259><c> if</c><00:11:04.360><c> the</c><00:11:04.519><c> vow</c><00:11:04.679><c> had</c><00:11:04.860><c> been</c><00:11:04.940><c> for</c><00:11:05.139><c> 12</c><00:11:05.379><c> months</c><00:11:05.700><c> and</c><00:11:05.940><c> he</c><00:11:06.120><c> got</c><00:11:06.299><c> through</c><00:11:06.519><c> 11</c><00:11:06.759><c> and</c><00:11:06.899><c> a</c>

00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:07.679
half<00:11:07.220><c> months</c>

00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.419
and<00:11:08.240><c> was</c><00:11:08.460><c> defiled,</c><00:11:09.940><c> that</c><00:11:10.159><c> vow</c><00:11:10.360><c> was</c><00:11:10.639><c> broken.</c>

00:11:11.899 --> 00:11:15.539
So<00:11:12.159><c> he</c><00:11:12.179><c> had</c><00:11:12.299><c> to</c><00:11:12.360><c> go</c><00:11:12.559><c> back</c><00:11:12.700><c> and</c><00:11:12.840><c> do</c><00:11:12.919><c> another</c><00:11:13.320><c> 12</c><00:11:13.639><c> months,</c><00:11:15.419><c> start</c>

00:11:15.539 --> 00:11:16.860
all<00:11:15.840><c> over</c><00:11:16.080><c> again,</c>

00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:20.919
which<00:11:17.460><c> is</c><00:11:17.820><c> exactly</c><00:11:18.620><c> what</c><00:11:19.639><c> we</c><00:11:19.919><c> do,</c><00:11:20.379><c> isn't</c><00:11:20.559><c> it?</c>

00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:26.259
It's<00:11:21.799><c> like</c><00:11:21.960><c> going</c><00:11:22.200><c> back</c><00:11:22.500><c> to</c><00:11:22.740><c> twosome,</c><00:11:24.159><c> starting</c><00:11:24.460><c> all</c><00:11:24.779><c> over</c><00:11:25.039><c> again.</c>

00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.000
That's<00:11:27.379><c> where</c><00:11:27.580><c> Samson</c><00:11:27.899><c> is.</c><00:11:28.580><c> He's</c><00:11:28.840><c> going</c><00:11:28.940><c> to</c><00:11:29.080><c> make</c><00:11:29.480><c> a</c><00:11:29.820><c> new</c><00:11:30.120><c> start.</c>

00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:34.899
Excuse<00:11:33.519><c> me.</c>

00:11:35.419 --> 00:11:39.779
So<00:11:35.620><c> he's</c><00:11:36.159><c> corrected,</c><00:11:37.720><c> and</c><00:11:37.899><c> the</c><00:11:38.139><c> Philistines</c><00:11:38.679><c> then</c><00:11:38.980><c> make</c><00:11:39.279><c> a</c>

00:11:39.779 --> 00:11:40.879
huge<00:11:40.299><c> blunder.</c>

00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:42.679
Look<00:11:41.200><c> at</c><00:11:41.360><c> verse</c><00:11:41.559><c> 23.</c>

00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.259
Then<00:11:44.980><c> the</c><00:11:45.139><c> lords</c><00:11:45.360><c> of</c><00:11:45.519><c> the</c><00:11:45.659><c> Philistines</c><00:11:46.200><c> gathered</c><00:11:46.539><c> themselves</c><00:11:47.340><c> together</c>

00:11:48.259 --> 00:11:51.799
for<00:11:48.700><c> to</c><00:11:48.899><c> offer</c><00:11:49.100><c> a</c><00:11:49.320><c> great</c><00:11:49.519><c> sacrifice</c><00:11:50.139><c> unto</c><00:11:50.480><c> Dagon,</c><00:11:51.580><c> their</c><00:11:51.679><c> god.</c>

00:11:51.820 --> 00:11:54.000
Did<00:11:52.000><c> you</c><00:11:52.000><c> know</c><00:11:52.139><c> that</c><00:11:52.379><c> Dagon</c><00:11:52.679><c> was</c><00:11:52.899><c> a</c><00:11:53.039><c> fish</c><00:11:53.220><c> god?</c>

00:11:54.460 --> 00:12:00.220
He<00:11:54.500><c> had</c><00:11:54.639><c> a</c><00:11:54.820><c> human</c><00:11:55.000><c> face</c><00:11:55.580><c> and</c><00:11:56.179><c> hands</c><00:11:56.740><c> and</c><00:11:58.019><c> feet</c><00:11:58.580><c> on</c><00:11:59.620><c> the</c><00:11:59.820><c> front,</c>

00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.340
were<00:12:00.539><c> like</c><00:12:00.740><c> a</c><00:12:00.980><c> fish</c><00:12:01.500><c> tail.</c>

00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:05.940
So<00:12:03.080><c> he</c><00:12:03.159><c> was</c><00:12:03.320><c> a</c><00:12:03.460><c> fish</c><00:12:03.759><c> god,</c><00:12:04.919><c> based,</c><00:12:05.240><c> of</c><00:12:05.240><c> course,</c><00:12:05.539><c> on</c><00:12:05.639><c> that</c><00:12:05.779><c> which</c>

00:12:05.940 --> 00:12:07.919
came<00:12:06.120><c> out</c><00:12:06.320><c> of</c><00:12:06.460><c> Babylon</c><00:12:06.720><c> originally.</c>

00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:13.519
So<00:12:08.639><c> this</c><00:12:08.779><c> was</c><00:12:09.000><c> a</c><00:12:09.200><c> huge</c><00:12:09.779><c> mistake,</c><00:12:10.779><c> because</c><00:12:10.940><c> they</c><00:12:11.299><c> said</c><00:12:11.559><c> in</c><00:12:11.799><c> verse</c><00:12:12.059><c> 23,</c>

00:12:13.899 --> 00:12:18.600
for<00:12:14.419><c> they</c><00:12:14.799><c> said,</c><00:12:15.440><c> our</c><00:12:15.440><c> god</c><00:12:15.759><c> had</c><00:12:16.120><c> delivered</c><00:12:16.659><c> Samson,</c><00:12:17.220><c> our</c><00:12:17.639><c> enemy,</c><00:12:18.320><c> into</c>

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:19.840
our<00:12:18.899><c> hand.</c>

00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.379
Now<00:12:20.539><c> that</c><00:12:20.799><c> is</c><00:12:21.000><c> one</c><00:12:21.159><c> of</c><00:12:21.259><c> the</c><00:12:21.419><c> greatest</c><00:12:22.279><c> stupidities</c><00:12:23.740><c> that</c><00:12:24.279><c> you</c>

00:12:24.379 --> 00:12:25.639
will<00:12:24.519><c> ever</c><00:12:24.740><c> see.</c>

00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:29.440
It's<00:12:26.179><c> a</c><00:12:26.259><c> bit</c><00:12:26.340><c> like</c><00:12:26.539><c> Sennachery,</c><00:12:28.080><c> when</c><00:12:28.179><c> he</c><00:12:28.299><c> sent</c><00:12:28.500><c> Rapshaker</c><00:12:29.200><c> in</c>

00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.299
2<00:12:29.720><c> Kings,</c><00:12:30.220><c> chapter</c><00:12:30.480><c> 19,</c>

00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.500
to<00:12:31.820><c> say</c><00:12:32.000><c> to</c><00:12:32.120><c> Hezekiah</c><00:12:32.759><c> and</c><00:12:32.919><c> the</c><00:12:33.039><c> men</c><00:12:33.120><c> on</c><00:12:33.299><c> the</c><00:12:33.500><c> wall,</c>

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:38.179
where<00:12:35.200><c> are</c><00:12:35.360><c> the</c><00:12:35.559><c> gods</c><00:12:35.940><c> of</c><00:12:36.440><c> all</c><00:12:36.720><c> these</c><00:12:36.940><c> cities</c><00:12:37.159><c> that</c><00:12:37.320><c> we've</c><00:12:37.580><c> overtaken?</c>

00:12:38.179 --> 00:12:41.980
Where<00:12:39.120><c> were</c><00:12:39.399><c> they?</c><00:12:39.919><c> They</c><00:12:40.100><c> couldn't</c><00:12:40.480><c> deliver</c><00:12:41.059><c> their</c><00:12:41.379><c> people</c>

00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:43.799
out<00:12:42.379><c> of</c><00:12:42.539><c> my</c><00:12:42.840><c> hand,</c>

00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:48.080
and<00:12:44.080><c> Yahweh</c><00:12:44.559><c> your</c><00:12:44.899><c> God</c><00:12:45.179><c> will</c><00:12:45.559><c> not</c><00:12:45.840><c> deliver</c><00:12:46.139><c> you</c><00:12:46.519><c> out</c><00:12:46.759><c> of</c><00:12:46.940><c> my</c><00:12:47.200><c> hand.</c>

00:12:48.899 --> 00:12:55.740
That's<00:12:49.139><c> about</c><00:12:49.340><c> as</c><00:12:49.620><c> sensible</c><00:12:50.059><c> as</c><00:12:50.940><c> the</c><00:12:51.200><c> idiot</c><00:12:51.720><c> who</c><00:12:53.139><c> in</c><00:12:53.379><c> 1912</c><00:12:54.639><c> said,</c>

00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.039
when<00:12:56.100><c> the</c><00:12:56.379><c> Titanic</c><00:12:56.740><c> was</c><00:12:57.039><c> about</c><00:12:57.299><c> to</c><00:12:57.539><c> take</c><00:12:57.700><c> its</c><00:12:57.940><c> first</c><00:12:58.539><c> journey</c>

00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:00.700
across<00:12:59.480><c> the</c><00:12:59.679><c> Atlantic,</c>

00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:04.440
that<00:13:01.559><c> not</c><00:13:01.720><c> even</c><00:13:02.100><c> God</c><00:13:02.559><c> could</c><00:13:02.960><c> sink</c><00:13:03.159><c> this</c><00:13:03.500><c> ship.</c>

00:13:04.940 --> 00:13:08.860
The<00:13:05.519><c> passengers</c><00:13:05.940><c> on</c><00:13:06.179><c> the</c><00:13:06.340><c> Titanic</c><00:13:06.779><c> were</c><00:13:07.120><c> doomed</c><00:13:07.580><c> before</c><00:13:08.679><c> they</c>

00:13:08.860 --> 00:13:10.179
left<00:13:09.100><c> port.</c>

00:13:10.980 --> 00:13:14.639
Not<00:13:11.120><c> even</c><00:13:11.620><c> God</c><00:13:12.279><c> can</c><00:13:13.120><c> sink</c><00:13:13.299><c> this</c><00:13:13.659><c> ship.</c>

00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.600
First<00:13:15.600><c> journey,</c><00:13:16.379><c> bottom</c><00:13:16.500><c> of</c><00:13:16.679><c> the</c><00:13:16.740><c> Atlantic.</c>

00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.460
You<00:13:18.879><c> don't</c><00:13:19.120><c> do</c><00:13:19.399><c> that.</c>

00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.799
And<00:13:21.000><c> so</c><00:13:21.179><c> the</c><00:13:21.360><c> Philistines</c><00:13:21.840><c> had</c><00:13:22.279><c> sealed</c><00:13:22.659><c> their</c><00:13:23.559><c> own</c><00:13:23.980><c> fate.</c>

00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:27.559
When<00:13:25.139><c> they</c><00:13:25.360><c> took</c><00:13:25.600><c> Samson</c><00:13:25.980><c> out</c><00:13:26.220><c> to</c><00:13:26.379><c> make</c><00:13:26.740><c> sport</c><00:13:27.000><c> of</c><00:13:27.200><c> him,</c>

00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:30.580
and<00:13:28.059><c> to</c><00:13:28.259><c> praise</c><00:13:28.480><c> their</c><00:13:28.759><c> god</c><00:13:29.120><c> who</c><00:13:29.419><c> had</c><00:13:29.559><c> given</c><00:13:29.679><c> them,</c><00:13:30.120><c> allegedly</c>

00:13:30.580 --> 00:13:31.080
given<00:13:30.820><c> them,</c>

00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.919
the<00:13:31.220><c> victory</c><00:13:31.679><c> over</c><00:13:32.840><c> not</c><00:13:33.039><c> only</c><00:13:33.340><c> Samson,</c><00:13:34.000><c> but</c><00:13:34.179><c> his</c><00:13:34.440><c> god,</c><00:13:35.480><c> they</c>

00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:37.980
had<00:13:36.220><c> cut</c><00:13:36.320><c> their</c><00:13:36.600><c> own</c><00:13:36.840><c> throats.</c>

00:13:38.539 --> 00:13:42.200
And<00:13:38.700><c> so</c><00:13:38.820><c> you've</c><00:13:38.980><c> got</c><00:13:39.159><c> a</c><00:13:39.379><c> man</c><00:13:39.700><c> who's</c><00:13:40.000><c> making</c><00:13:40.539><c> a</c><00:13:41.220><c> recovery.</c>

00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:44.759
You<00:13:42.620><c> see,</c><00:13:43.279><c> his</c><00:13:43.460><c> hair</c><00:13:43.679><c> is</c><00:13:43.980><c> growing.</c>

00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:49.159
But<00:13:45.500><c> it's</c><00:13:45.659><c> not</c><00:13:46.000><c> his</c><00:13:46.460><c> hair</c><00:13:46.879><c> that's</c><00:13:47.360><c> important</c><00:13:47.779><c> here,</c><00:13:48.080><c> is</c><00:13:48.240><c> it?</c>

00:13:49.700 --> 00:13:52.980

And<00:16:44.960><c> when</c><00:16:45.100><c> we</c><00:16:45.279><c> read</c><00:16:45.460><c> lad</c><00:16:45.840><c> here,</c><00:16:47.320><c> don't</c><00:16:47.620><c> get</c><00:16:47.879><c> the</c><00:16:48.100><c> idea,</c>

00:16:49.500 --> 00:16:53.480
but<00:16:49.580><c> you</c><00:16:49.720><c> sometimes</c><00:16:50.240><c> see</c><00:16:50.620><c> in</c><00:16:50.879><c> pictures</c><00:16:51.259><c> of</c><00:16:51.519><c> the</c><00:16:51.639><c> story</c><00:16:52.120><c> of</c><00:16:52.519><c> Samson,</c>

the<00:17:00.000><c> hand.</c>

00:17:01.059 --> 00:17:05.420
But<00:17:01.179><c> he</c><00:17:01.279><c> can</c><00:17:01.659><c> pat</c><00:17:01.820><c> him</c><00:17:01.980><c> on</c><00:17:02.100><c> the</c><00:17:02.240><c> head</c><00:17:02.340><c> and</c><00:17:02.580><c> say,</c><00:17:03.460><c> hey</c><00:17:03.460><c> sonny,</c><00:17:05.099><c> take</c><00:17:05.259><c> me</c>

00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:10.940
No.<00:17:09.420><c> This</c><00:17:09.680><c> is</c><00:17:09.940><c> a</c><00:17:10.079><c> young</c><00:17:10.299><c> man.</c>

00:17:10.940 --> 00:17:15.339
And<00:17:12.099><c> so</c><00:17:12.380><c> some</c><00:17:12.680><c> translations</c><00:17:13.339><c> tell</c><00:17:13.660><c> us</c><00:17:13.880><c> that.</c>

00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:16.779
It's<00:17:15.980><c> a</c><00:17:16.079><c> young</c><00:17:16.259><c> man.</c>

00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:23.079
The<00:17:17.279><c> literal</c><00:17:18.319><c> translation</c><00:17:19.559><c> of</c><00:17:19.839><c> the</c><00:17:20.000><c> Hebrew</c><00:17:20.299><c> is,</c><00:17:21.900><c> to</c><00:17:21.960><c> the</c><00:17:22.140><c> young</c><00:17:22.460><c> man</c>

00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:25.160
grasping<00:17:23.819><c> his</c><00:17:24.220><c> hand.</c>

00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:28.400
So<00:17:25.839><c> this</c><00:17:26.039><c> young</c><00:17:26.299><c> man</c><00:17:26.599><c> was</c><00:17:26.920><c> the</c><00:17:27.460><c> MC.</c>

00:17:28.460 --> 00:17:32.519
He<00:17:28.640><c> was</c><00:17:29.160><c> orchestrating</c><00:17:30.099><c> the</c><00:17:31.339><c> entertainment.</c>

00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:38.640
So<00:17:33.819><c> his</c><00:17:34.099><c> job</c><00:17:34.400><c> was</c><00:17:34.700><c> to</c><00:17:34.920><c> make</c><00:17:35.180><c> Samson's</c><00:17:36.000><c> life</c><00:17:36.319><c> very</c><00:17:37.259><c> uncomfortable</c><00:17:37.980><c> indeed.</c>

00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:42.460
So<00:17:39.299><c> let</c><00:17:39.460><c> me</c><00:17:39.599><c> just</c><00:17:39.799><c> give</c><00:17:39.920><c> you</c><00:17:40.019><c> a</c><00:17:40.059><c> demonstration</c><00:17:40.819><c> of</c><00:17:41.500><c> what</c><00:17:41.720><c> I</c><00:17:42.000><c> think</c><00:17:42.259><c> he</c>

00:17:42.460 --> 00:17:43.079
would<00:17:42.640><c> have</c><00:17:42.819><c> done.</c>

00:17:43.420 --> 00:17:45.720
You<00:17:43.480><c> don't</c><00:17:43.660><c> have</c><00:17:43.839><c> to</c><00:17:43.940><c> use</c><00:17:44.099><c> too</c><00:17:44.299><c> much</c><00:17:44.500><c> your</c><00:17:44.660><c> imagination.</c>

00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.960
He's<00:17:46.519><c> brought</c><00:17:46.740><c> out</c><00:17:47.200><c> for</c><00:17:47.500><c> entertainment.</c>

00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.160
You<00:17:48.140><c> know</c><00:17:48.200><c> what</c><00:17:48.319><c> the</c><00:17:48.519><c> world's</c><00:17:49.400><c> entertainment</c><00:17:49.779><c> is</c><00:17:49.940><c> like.</c>

00:17:50.500 --> 00:17:53.720
It's<00:17:50.619><c> got</c><00:17:50.759><c> to</c><00:17:50.900><c> be</c><00:17:51.180><c> on</c><00:17:52.059><c> the</c><00:17:52.220><c> edge,</c><00:17:52.420><c> doesn't</c><00:17:52.759><c> it?</c>

00:17:54.339 --> 00:17:55.980
You've<00:17:54.539><c> got</c><00:17:54.539><c> to</c><00:17:54.579><c> push</c><00:17:54.819><c> the</c><00:17:55.039><c> on</c><00:17:55.200><c>-line.</c>

00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.279
These<00:17:57.160><c> are</c><00:17:57.319><c> filistons.</c><00:17:57.880><c> These</c><00:17:58.059><c> are</c><00:17:58.299><c> uncircumcised</c><00:17:58.960><c> filistons.</c>

00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:02.940
And<00:18:00.519><c> they</c><00:18:00.680><c> would</c><00:18:00.880><c> have</c><00:18:01.039><c> made</c><00:18:01.220><c> this</c><00:18:01.599><c> brutal,</c><00:18:02.140><c> if</c><00:18:02.400><c> I</c><00:18:02.480><c> might</c><00:18:02.720><c> use</c>

00:18:07.380 --> 00:18:09.660
He<00:18:08.039><c> was</c><00:18:08.220><c> already</c><00:18:08.640><c> weak.</c>

00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.539

00:18:13.059 --> 00:18:16.559
He<00:18:13.380><c> came</c><00:18:13.680><c> out</c><00:18:14.200><c> and</c><00:18:14.759><c> this</c><00:18:14.960><c> young</c><00:18:15.180><c> man</c><00:18:15.460><c> would</c><00:18:15.779><c> lead</c><00:18:15.940><c> him</c><00:18:16.140><c> to</c><00:18:16.299><c> this</c>

00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:18.200

00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:26.779
And<00:18:23.440><c> he</c><00:18:23.539><c> would</c><00:18:23.859><c> sidle</c><00:18:24.119><c> up</c><00:18:24.339><c> to</c><00:18:24.599><c> Samson</c><00:18:24.839><c> and</c><00:18:25.079><c> say,</c><00:18:26.579><c> how</c><00:18:26.619><c> are</c><00:18:26.779><c> you</c>

How's<00:18:29.940><c> things</c><00:18:30.099><c> with</c><00:18:30.240><c> you</c><00:18:30.440><c> today?</c>

00:18:32.019 --> 00:18:35.420
And<00:18:32.220><c> then</c><00:18:32.359><c> he</c><00:18:32.400><c> would</c><00:18:33.180><c> dip</c><00:18:33.359><c> him</c><00:18:33.539><c> in</c><00:18:33.640><c> the</c><00:18:33.819><c> ribs</c><00:18:34.099><c> with</c><00:18:34.420><c> an</c><00:18:34.579><c> elbow.</c>

00:18:36.700 --> 00:18:41.039

And<00:18:41.660><c> there</c><00:18:41.779><c> would</c><00:18:42.019><c> be</c><00:18:42.420><c> guffaws</c><00:18:43.079><c> of</c><00:18:43.880><c> laughter</c><00:18:44.480><c> from</c><00:18:45.660><c> the</c><00:18:45.920><c> filistons.</c>

00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:49.759

That's<00:18:51.259><c> what</c><00:18:51.339><c> was</c><00:18:51.559><c> happening</c><00:18:51.779><c> here,</c><00:18:52.720><c> brothers</c><00:18:52.839><c> and</c><00:18:53.079><c> sisters</c>

00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.400
This<00:18:55.299><c> was</c><00:18:55.559><c> hideous.</c><00:18:56.059><c> This</c><00:18:56.220><c> was</c><00:18:56.559><c> awful.</c>

00:18:57.539 --> 00:18:59.839
And<00:18:57.700><c> after</c><00:18:58.000><c> a</c><00:18:58.160><c> little</c><00:18:58.279><c> bit</c><00:18:58.480><c> of</c><00:18:58.640><c> that,</c><00:18:59.119><c> you</c><00:18:59.160><c> know,</c><00:18:59.460><c> an</c><00:18:59.640><c> hour</c><00:18:59.839><c> or</c>

Now<00:19:24.759><c> it's</c><00:19:24.880><c> important</c><00:19:25.279><c> to</c><00:19:25.480><c> see</c><00:19:25.640><c> that</c><00:19:25.900><c> picture,</c><00:19:26.200><c> you</c><00:19:26.299><c> know</c><00:19:26.519><c> why?</c>

00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.019
And<00:19:41.980><c> he</c><00:19:42.460><c> can</c><00:19:42.819><c> be</c><00:19:43.099><c> everything</c><00:19:43.619><c> to</c><00:19:44.000><c> us.</c>

00:19:45.380 --> 00:19:50.440
When<00:19:45.579><c> we</c><00:19:46.420><c> see</c><00:19:46.940><c> ourselves</c><00:19:47.559><c> and</c><00:19:47.859><c> are</c><00:19:48.039><c> at</c><00:19:48.160><c> a</c><00:19:48.339><c> state</c><00:19:48.680><c> of</c><00:19:48.960><c> being</c><00:19:49.599><c> ignored,</c>

00:19:58.259 --> 00:20:02.140
Samson<00:19:58.460><c> now</c><00:19:58.759><c> knows</c><00:19:59.220><c> what</c><00:19:59.440><c> it</c><00:19:59.539><c> means</c><00:19:59.980><c> to</c><00:20:00.220><c> be</c><00:20:00.539><c> a</c><00:20:00.680><c> true</c><00:20:00.799><c> Nazirite.</c>

00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:15.240
the<00:20:08.440><c> son</c><00:20:08.700><c> of</c><00:20:08.920><c> man</c><00:20:09.339><c> must</c><00:20:09.740><c> suffer</c><00:20:09.960><c> many</c><00:20:10.299><c> things</c><00:20:11.019><c> and</c><00:20:12.299><c> be</c><00:20:12.680><c> sent</c><00:20:12.960><c> at</c><00:20:13.500><c> nought.</c>

Mark<00:20:16.119><c> 9,</c><00:20:16.460><c> 12.</c>

00:20:17.140 --> 00:20:21.559
He<00:20:17.680><c> was</c><00:20:17.859><c> going</c><00:20:18.019><c> to</c><00:20:18.180><c> be</c><00:20:18.460><c> sent</c><00:20:18.720><c> at</c><00:20:19.019><c> nought</c><00:20:19.420><c> and</c><00:20:19.920><c> he</c><00:20:20.299><c> had</c><00:20:20.559><c> just</c><00:20:21.000><c> been</c><00:20:21.299><c> on</c>

the<00:20:21.720><c> mount</c><00:20:21.960><c> of</c><00:20:22.259><c> transfiguration.</c>

00:20:23.700 --> 00:20:26.660
And<00:20:23.900><c> he</c><00:20:24.119><c> and</c><00:20:24.259><c> his</c><00:20:24.460><c> disciples</c><00:20:25.079><c> saw</c><00:20:25.640><c> him</c><00:20:26.019><c> as</c><00:20:26.240><c> he</c><00:20:26.420><c> would</c><00:20:26.420><c> be</c><00:20:26.539><c> in</c>

00:20:26.660 --> 00:20:27.160
the<00:20:26.859><c> kingdom.</c>

00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:31.859
He<00:20:27.440><c> couldn't</c><00:20:27.680><c> have</c><00:20:27.839><c> got</c><00:20:27.960><c> any</c><00:20:28.259><c> higher</c><00:20:29.579><c> immortality</c><00:20:30.640><c> than</c><00:20:30.880><c> that.</c>

00:20:32.900 --> 00:20:35.900
But<00:20:33.079><c> he's</c><00:20:33.119><c> not</c><00:20:33.339><c> talking</c><00:20:33.599><c> about</c><00:20:34.019><c> that</c><00:20:34.579><c> as</c><00:20:35.079><c> he</c><00:20:35.200><c> comes</c><00:20:35.460><c> down</c><00:20:35.720><c> from</c>

00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:42.980
He's<00:20:38.599><c> talking</c><00:20:38.859><c> about</c><00:20:39.180><c> being</c><00:20:39.740><c> humbled</c><00:20:40.240><c> and</c><00:20:41.160><c> sent</c><00:20:41.519><c> nought</c><00:20:42.259><c> by</c><00:20:42.799><c> men.</c>

00:20:42.980 --> 00:20:47.700
And<00:20:43.259><c> the</c><00:20:43.440><c> Greek</c><00:20:43.599><c> word</c><00:20:43.859><c> means</c><00:20:44.220><c> to</c><00:20:44.420><c> be</c><00:20:44.680><c> utterly</c><00:20:45.359><c> made</c><00:20:46.039><c> nothing</c><00:20:46.599><c> of.</c>

00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:50.019
This<00:20:48.220><c> is</c><00:20:48.319><c> the</c><00:20:48.400><c> son</c><00:20:48.500><c> of</c><00:20:48.740><c> God.</c>

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:52.339
Sent<00:20:51.380><c> at</c><00:20:51.559><c> nought.</c>

00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:58.759
And<00:20:54.059><c> no</c><00:20:54.279><c> man</c><00:20:54.700><c> was</c><00:20:55.559><c> ever</c><00:20:55.819><c> more</c><00:20:56.059><c> sensitive</c><00:20:56.579><c> to</c><00:20:57.759><c> God</c><00:20:57.980><c> in</c><00:20:58.140><c> his</c><00:20:58.319><c> life</c>

00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:00.880
than<00:20:59.059><c> our</c><00:20:59.240><c> Lord</c><00:20:59.400><c> Jesus</c><00:20:59.819><c> Christ.</c>

00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:06.420
It's<00:21:01.599><c> when</c><00:21:01.900><c> you're</c><00:21:02.259><c> in</c><00:21:02.319><c> that</c><00:21:02.500><c> condition,</c><00:21:03.799><c> when</c><00:21:03.980><c> you</c><00:21:04.160><c> see</c><00:21:04.440><c> nothing</c><00:21:04.839><c> in</c><00:21:05.299><c> yourself,</c>

00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.700
that<00:21:07.019><c> God</c><00:21:07.579><c> is</c><00:21:08.940><c> amplified</c><00:21:09.599><c> and</c><00:21:10.039><c> made</c><00:21:10.279><c> great.</c>

00:21:10.700 --> 00:21:13.579
That's<00:21:11.859><c> the</c><00:21:11.980><c> principle</c><00:21:12.420><c> here.</c>

00:21:14.339 --> 00:21:16.759
So<00:21:14.480><c> that's</c><00:21:14.940><c> why</c><00:21:15.180><c> this</c><00:21:15.480><c> had</c><00:21:15.660><c> to</c><00:21:15.900><c> happen.</c>

00:21:16.900 --> 00:21:21.640
He<00:21:17.059><c> had</c><00:21:17.339><c> to</c><00:21:17.500><c> be</c><00:21:17.720><c> brought</c><00:21:17.839><c> to</c><00:21:18.019><c> that</c><00:21:18.240><c> condition</c><00:21:18.799><c> so</c><00:21:19.839><c> that</c><00:21:19.960><c> he</c><00:21:20.059><c> could</c><00:21:20.299><c> see</c><00:21:20.539><c> clearly.</c>

00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:23.740
He<00:21:22.119><c> can't</c><00:21:22.400><c> see</c><00:21:22.559><c> with</c><00:21:22.720><c> his</c><00:21:22.940><c> eyes.</c>

00:21:23.819 --> 00:21:28.960
But<00:21:24.140><c> now</c><00:21:24.720><c> he</c><00:21:24.980><c> has</c><00:21:25.500><c> a</c><00:21:25.960><c> vision,</c><00:21:27.599><c> a</c><00:21:27.779><c> perception,</c>

00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:33.660
which<00:21:30.039><c> far</c><00:21:30.380><c> exceeds</c><00:21:30.940><c> any</c><00:21:31.559><c> moment</c><00:21:31.980><c> of</c><00:21:32.200><c> his</c><00:21:32.440><c> life</c><00:21:32.859><c> when</c><00:21:33.420><c> he</c><00:21:33.539><c> had</c>

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:35.640
two<00:21:33.980><c> eyes</c><00:21:34.440><c> that</c><00:21:34.740><c> could</c><00:21:34.980><c> see.</c>

00:21:37.180 --> 00:21:39.539
That's<00:21:37.759><c> what</c><00:21:37.920><c> God</c><00:21:38.119><c> does</c><00:21:38.359><c> to</c><00:21:38.559><c> this</c><00:21:38.779><c> man.</c>

00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:44.140
So<00:21:40.420><c> here</c><00:21:40.900><c> we</c><00:21:41.279><c> have</c><00:21:41.799><c> an</c><00:21:42.259><c> example</c><00:21:42.640><c> for</c><00:21:42.920><c> ourselves.</c>

00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.039
And<00:21:45.420><c> he</c><00:21:45.539><c> leans</c><00:21:45.839><c> upon</c><00:21:46.140><c> the</c><00:21:46.339><c> pillars,</c><00:21:46.740><c> it</c><00:21:46.779><c> says</c><00:21:47.220><c> in</c><00:21:47.559><c> verse,</c><00:21:47.880><c> end</c>

00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:49.700
of<00:21:48.160><c> verse</c><00:21:48.319><c> 26.</c>

00:21:50.460 --> 00:21:52.000
Suffer<00:21:50.700><c> me</c><00:21:50.799><c> to</c><00:21:51.079><c> lean.</c>

00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:54.940
To<00:21:52.839><c> support</c><00:21:53.299><c> oneself,</c><00:21:53.880><c> as</c><00:21:54.000><c> that</c><00:21:54.240><c> word</c><00:21:54.420><c> means.</c>

00:21:55.420 --> 00:21:57.119
Harassed<00:21:55.940><c> and</c><00:21:56.180><c> exhausted.</c>

00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:59.019
He<00:21:57.799><c> seeks</c><00:21:58.059><c> rest.</c>

00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:01.539
But<00:21:59.299><c> he</c><00:21:59.539><c> clearly</c><00:21:59.819><c> has</c><00:22:00.079><c> a</c><00:22:00.299><c> plan</c><00:22:00.480><c> in</c><00:22:00.740><c> mind.</c>

00:22:02.140 --> 00:22:03.140
Now<00:22:02.259><c> verse</c><00:22:02.359><c> 27</c><00:22:02.880><c> says,</c>

00:22:03.140 --> 00:22:06.259
Now<00:22:03.359><c> the</c><00:22:03.500><c> house</c><00:22:03.839><c> was</c><00:22:04.099><c> full</c><00:22:04.339><c> of</c><00:22:04.539><c> men</c><00:22:04.880><c> and</c><00:22:05.180><c> women,</c>

00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:10.099

00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:14.279
And<00:22:10.519><c> there</c><00:22:10.599><c> were</c><00:22:10.759><c> upon</c><00:22:10.920><c> the</c><00:22:11.119><c> roof</c><00:22:11.339><c> about</c><00:22:11.839><c> 3</c><00:22:12.140><c>,000</c><00:22:12.579><c> men</c><00:22:12.859><c> and</c><00:22:12.980><c> women</c><00:22:13.819><c> that</c>

00:22:16.660 --> 00:22:21.880
So<00:22:16.859><c> this</c><00:22:17.839><c> temple,</c><00:22:18.859><c> this</c><00:22:19.099><c> place</c><00:22:19.660><c> of</c><00:22:19.960><c> Dagon's</c><00:22:20.599><c> worship,</c><00:22:21.599><c> had</c>

00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:04.220
Now<00:23:01.859><c> in</c><00:23:01.940><c> those</c><00:23:02.140><c> days</c><00:23:02.359><c> there</c><00:23:02.519><c> were</c><00:23:02.759><c> no</c><00:23:03.500><c> computers,</c>

00:23:04.220 --> 00:23:08.859

Computers<00:23:09.720><c> in</c><00:23:09.880><c> those</c><00:23:10.180><c> days</c><00:23:10.519><c> were,</c><00:23:11.519><c> well,</c><00:23:12.079><c> they</c><00:23:12.200><c> filled</c><00:23:12.319><c> a</c><00:23:12.480><c> room.</c>

00:23:14.779 --> 00:23:17.220
So<00:23:15.339><c> we</c><00:23:15.680><c> didn't</c><00:23:15.880><c> have</c><00:23:16.140><c> handheld</c><00:23:16.619><c> devices,</c>

00:23:17.220 --> 00:23:22.740
you<00:23:17.440><c> know,</c><00:23:18.039><c> you</c><00:23:18.039><c> can</c><00:23:18.619><c> look</c><00:23:18.859><c> up</c><00:23:19.099><c> Strong's</c><00:23:19.779><c> or</c><00:23:20.339><c> you</c><00:23:20.420><c> can</c><00:23:20.559><c> use</c><00:23:20.940><c> Esord</c><00:23:21.599><c> or</c>

00:23:26.180 --> 00:23:29.140
Now<00:23:26.519><c> in</c><00:23:26.839><c> preparation</c><00:23:27.339><c> for</c><00:23:27.579><c> this</c><00:23:27.839><c> study</c><00:23:28.039><c> I</c><00:23:28.220><c> thought,</c><00:23:28.339><c> well,</c><00:23:28.500><c> I'll</c><00:23:28.640><c> just</c><00:23:28.880><c> have</c><00:23:29.059><c> a</c>

00:23:29.140 --> 00:23:30.920
look<00:23:29.259><c> at</c><00:23:29.440><c> these</c><00:23:29.640><c> words</c><00:23:29.920><c> again</c>

00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:34.740
to<00:23:31.839><c> make</c><00:23:32.059><c> sure</c><00:23:32.319><c> that</c><00:23:32.480><c> what's</c><00:23:32.740><c> in</c><00:23:32.819><c> my</c><00:23:33.140><c> margin</c><00:23:33.420><c> is</c><00:23:33.759><c> correct.</c>

00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:40.579
And<00:23:36.240><c> lo</c><00:23:36.460><c> and</c><00:23:36.700><c> behold,</c><00:23:38.380><c> Esord,</c><00:23:39.480><c> which</c><00:23:39.680><c> I</c><00:23:39.799><c> think</c><00:23:39.980><c> probably</c><00:23:40.359><c> some</c>

00:23:40.579 --> 00:23:42.599
of<00:23:40.740><c> you</c><00:23:40.940><c> use,</c><00:23:41.319><c> I</c><00:23:41.519><c> use</c><00:23:41.759><c> it,</c>

00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:48.599
Esord,<00:23:43.420><c> the</c><00:23:43.500><c> electronic</c><00:23:44.500><c> Bible</c><00:23:44.980><c> program,</c><00:23:47.180><c> gets</c><00:23:47.380><c> this</c><00:23:47.720><c> wrong.</c>

00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:55.059
So<00:23:50.940><c> you</c><00:23:51.039><c> can't</c><00:23:51.299><c> always</c><00:23:51.720><c> rely</c><00:23:52.039><c> upon</c><00:23:52.400><c> what</c><00:23:52.680><c> man</c><00:23:53.420><c> offers,</c><00:23:54.160><c> can</c><00:23:54.160><c> you?</c>

00:23:55.500 --> 00:23:59.400
Actually<00:23:55.880><c> I</c><00:23:56.000><c> can</c><00:23:56.259><c> show</c><00:23:56.519><c> you</c><00:23:56.740><c> a</c><00:23:56.779><c> couple</c><00:23:57.039><c> of</c><00:23:57.119><c> places</c><00:23:57.460><c> where</c><00:23:57.920><c> Strong's</c><00:23:58.480><c> Concordance</c><00:23:59.059><c> gets</c>

00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:00.000
things<00:23:59.819><c> wrong</c>

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:02.200
in<00:24:00.259><c> Genesis</c><00:24:00.660><c> 22</c><00:24:01.180><c> as</c><00:24:01.460><c> well.</c>

00:24:03.019 --> 00:24:06.079
So<00:24:03.299><c> nothing</c><00:24:03.579><c> that</c><00:24:03.779><c> man</c><00:24:04.039><c> produces</c><00:24:04.519><c> is</c><00:24:04.880><c> perfect.</c>

00:24:06.220 --> 00:24:07.579
Best<00:24:06.279><c> to</c><00:24:06.460><c> double</c><00:24:06.700><c> check.</c>

00:24:08.339 --> 00:24:09.579
You<00:24:08.460><c> see</c><00:24:08.559><c> these</c><00:24:08.740><c> words</c><00:24:09.059><c> here?</c>

00:24:09.579 --> 00:24:12.839
Now<00:24:10.000><c> the</c><00:24:10.119><c> house</c><00:24:10.420><c> was</c><00:24:10.779><c> full</c><00:24:11.099><c> of</c><00:24:11.339><c> men</c><00:24:11.559><c> and</c><00:24:11.700><c> women.</c>

00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:21.500
In<00:24:13.500><c> the</c><00:24:13.680><c> Hebrew,</c><00:24:14.240><c> that</c><00:24:14.599><c> first</c><00:24:14.960><c> phrase,</c><00:24:16.220><c> the</c><00:24:16.339><c> two</c><00:24:16.619><c> Hebrew</c><00:24:16.940><c> words,</c><00:24:18.259><c> enoshim</c><00:24:19.000><c> and</c><00:24:20.000><c> noshim.</c>

00:24:21.819 --> 00:24:25.619
Now<00:24:22.079><c> enosh,</c><00:24:22.380><c> if</c><00:24:22.519><c> you</c><00:24:22.559><c> look</c><00:24:22.759><c> it</c><00:24:22.900><c> up,</c><00:24:23.359><c> means</c><00:24:23.420><c> weak,</c><00:24:24.079><c> mortal</c><00:24:24.519><c> men.</c>

00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:30.099
So<00:24:26.200><c> enoshim</c><00:24:27.259><c> means</c><00:24:27.680><c> weak,</c><00:24:28.240><c> mortal</c><00:24:28.319><c> men,</c><00:24:29.160><c> noshim</c><00:24:29.680><c> of</c><00:24:29.819><c> course</c>

00:24:30.099 --> 00:24:32.599
means<00:24:30.599><c> weak,</c><00:24:31.420><c> mortal</c><00:24:31.619><c> females.</c>

00:24:33.380 --> 00:24:36.559
So<00:24:33.559><c> this</c><00:24:33.740><c> is</c><00:24:33.900><c> the</c><00:24:34.019><c> common</c><00:24:34.319><c> people,</c><00:24:34.680><c> this</c><00:24:34.839><c> is</c><00:24:35.000><c> the</c><00:24:35.140><c> ordinary</c><00:24:35.519><c> people,</c><00:24:36.220><c> this</c><00:24:36.380><c> is</c>

00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:38.279
the<00:24:36.720><c> people</c><00:24:37.319><c> downstairs.</c>

00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:41.519
The<00:24:38.640><c> ones</c><00:24:38.839><c> closest</c><00:24:39.400><c> to</c><00:24:39.680><c> Sansa.</c>

00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:43.720
Well<00:24:41.859><c> he</c><00:24:42.019><c> makes</c><00:24:42.279><c> sport</c><00:24:42.640><c> for</c><00:24:42.819><c> them.</c>

00:24:44.579 --> 00:24:46.539
But<00:24:44.640><c> the</c><00:24:44.799><c> other</c><00:24:44.980><c> crowd</c><00:24:45.259><c> are</c><00:24:45.460><c> upstairs.</c>

00:24:46.660 --> 00:24:47.359
You<00:24:46.700><c> see</c><00:24:46.799><c> what</c><00:24:46.960><c> it</c><00:24:46.980><c> says?</c>

00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:52.099
And<00:24:47.599><c> they</c><00:24:47.700><c> were</c><00:24:47.859><c> upon</c><00:24:48.140><c> the</c><00:24:48.380><c> roof,</c><00:24:49.099><c> that</c><00:24:49.200><c> is</c><00:24:49.359><c> in</c><00:24:49.480><c> the</c><00:24:49.640><c> mezzanine,</c><00:24:51.140><c> about</c><00:24:51.599><c> 3</c>

00:24:52.099 --> 00:24:55.099
,000<00:24:52.819><c> men</c><00:24:53.259><c> and</c><00:24:54.180><c> women.</c>

00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:58.859
Now<00:24:55.779><c> the</c><00:24:55.900><c> word</c><00:24:56.200><c> men</c><00:24:56.640><c> there</c><00:24:57.019><c> is</c><00:24:57.480><c> ish.</c>

00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:02.319
And<00:24:59.859><c> the</c><00:25:00.000><c> word</c><00:25:00.299><c> for</c><00:25:00.660><c> women</c><00:25:01.180><c> is</c><00:25:01.819><c> ishar.</c>

00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:05.119
We've<00:25:02.779><c> met</c><00:25:02.920><c> those</c><00:25:03.200><c> words</c><00:25:03.440><c> before,</c><00:25:04.140><c> haven't</c><00:25:04.140><c> we?</c>

00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:08.720
Ish<00:25:06.339><c> means,</c><00:25:06.779><c> depending</c><00:25:07.220><c> on</c><00:25:07.519><c> context,</c><00:25:08.079><c> and</c><00:25:08.079><c> this</c><00:25:08.220><c> is</c><00:25:08.380><c> one</c><00:25:08.559><c> of</c>

00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:13.740
those<00:25:09.019><c> where</c><00:25:09.359><c> it</c><00:25:09.519><c> does</c><00:25:09.799><c> mean</c><00:25:10.140><c> great</c><00:25:10.640><c> men</c><00:25:11.180><c> and</c><00:25:12.420><c> great</c><00:25:12.819><c> women.</c>

00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:18.180
So<00:25:14.460><c> there's</c><00:25:14.599><c> a</c><00:25:14.819><c> contrast</c><00:25:15.259><c> made</c><00:25:15.519><c> between</c><00:25:15.900><c> those</c><00:25:16.380><c> who</c><00:25:16.539><c> are</c><00:25:16.759><c> downstairs</c><00:25:17.380><c> and</c>

those<00:25:18.519><c> who</c><00:25:18.619><c> are</c><00:25:18.740><c> in</c><00:25:18.839><c> the</c><00:25:18.960><c> upper</c><00:25:19.119><c> schools.</c>

00:25:19.539 --> 00:25:21.420
And<00:25:19.640><c> of</c><00:25:19.740><c> course</c><00:25:19.859><c> it's</c><00:25:20.079><c> exactly</c><00:25:20.380><c> the</c><00:25:20.579><c> same</c><00:25:20.720><c> today,</c><00:25:21.180><c> isn't</c><00:25:21.299><c> it?</c>

00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:23.599
You<00:25:21.579><c> go</c><00:25:21.759><c> to</c><00:25:21.960><c> the,</c><00:25:22.180><c> I</c><00:25:22.359><c> don't</c><00:25:22.500><c> go</c><00:25:22.720><c> to</c><00:25:22.920><c> operas,</c><00:25:23.180><c> but</c><00:25:23.259><c> you</c><00:25:23.319><c> go</c><00:25:23.480><c> to</c>

00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:24.819
the<00:25:23.799><c> opera.</c>

00:25:24.940 --> 00:25:27.819
You<00:25:25.000><c> get</c><00:25:25.220><c> the</c><00:25:25.339><c> hoi</c><00:25:25.599><c> boy,</c><00:25:26.359><c> like</c><00:25:26.519><c> you</c><00:25:26.720><c> are,</c><00:25:27.200><c> sitting</c><00:25:27.200><c> downstairs</c>

00:25:27.819 --> 00:25:30.940
if<00:25:28.059><c> you</c><00:25:28.140><c> can't</c><00:25:28.420><c> afford</c><00:25:28.619><c> the</c><00:25:29.460><c> expensive</c><00:25:30.039><c> seats</c><00:25:30.339><c> upstairs.</c>

00:25:30.940 --> 00:25:38.420
So<00:25:31.759><c> you</c><00:25:31.940><c> have</c><00:25:32.240><c> the</c><00:25:33.079><c> upper</c><00:25:33.420><c> classes,</c><00:25:35.240><c> the</c><00:25:35.460><c> people,</c><00:25:35.920><c> the</c><00:25:36.119><c> hot</c><00:25:36.339><c> knobs</c><00:25:36.640><c> of</c><00:25:37.240><c> society.</c>

00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:41.559
And<00:25:38.619><c> they're</c><00:25:38.779><c> looking</c><00:25:38.920><c> down,</c><00:25:39.619><c> sitting</c><00:25:40.099><c> there,</c><00:25:41.059><c> whatever</c><00:25:41.319><c> it</c>

00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.319
is<00:25:41.779><c> that</c><00:25:41.880><c> they</c><00:25:42.000><c> were</c><00:25:42.160><c> doing,</c><00:25:42.920><c> looking</c><00:25:43.099><c> down</c><00:25:43.519><c> upon</c><00:25:43.839><c> Sansa.</c>

00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:47.579
And<00:25:45.880><c> then</c><00:25:46.039><c> you've</c><00:25:46.200><c> got</c><00:25:46.299><c> all</c><00:25:46.519><c> these</c><00:25:46.700><c> people</c><00:25:47.200><c> below.</c>

00:25:47.940 --> 00:25:52.640
Now<00:25:48.319><c> it</c><00:25:48.319><c> says</c><00:25:48.700><c> there</c><00:25:48.940><c> were</c><00:25:49.359><c> 3</c><00:25:50.059><c>,000</c><00:25:50.880><c> on</c><00:25:51.440><c> the</c><00:25:51.660><c> roof.</c>

00:25:53.500 --> 00:25:57.740
So<00:25:54.299><c> there's</c><00:25:54.539><c> probably</c><00:25:55.319><c> at</c><00:25:56.000><c> least</c><00:25:56.339><c> that</c><00:25:56.619><c> number,</c><00:25:57.160><c> and</c><00:25:57.440><c> maybe</c>

00:25:57.740 --> 00:26:00.619
more,<00:25:59.539><c> downstairs.</c>

00:26:01.940 --> 00:26:06.400
So<00:26:02.140><c> he</c><00:26:02.519><c> doubtless</c><00:26:03.220><c> killed</c><00:26:03.799><c> a</c><00:26:04.119><c> whole</c><00:26:04.279><c> lot</c><00:26:04.420><c> more</c><00:26:04.960><c> than</c><00:26:05.259><c> 3</c><00:26:05.660><c>,000</c>

00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:09.420
when<00:26:07.519><c> this</c><00:26:07.779><c> building</c><00:26:08.000><c> comes</c><00:26:08.359><c> down.</c>

00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:12.920
And<00:26:10.319><c> he</c><00:26:10.400><c> got</c><00:26:10.680><c> both</c><00:26:11.079><c> classes</c><00:26:11.680><c> of</c><00:26:12.000><c> humanity.</c>

00:26:13.059 --> 00:26:17.680
You<00:26:13.619><c> know,</c><00:26:14.339><c> when</c><00:26:14.440><c> Christ</c><00:26:14.779><c> comes,</c><00:26:15.420><c> young</c><00:26:15.519><c> people,</c><00:26:17.000><c> it</c><00:26:17.099><c> will</c><00:26:17.319><c> do</c>

00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:23.240
no<00:26:18.200><c> good</c><00:26:18.680><c> for</c><00:26:20.240><c> men</c><00:26:20.599><c> who</c><00:26:21.099><c> happen</c><00:26:21.339><c> to</c><00:26:21.519><c> be</c><00:26:21.680><c> in</c><00:26:21.819><c> positions</c><00:26:22.220><c> of</c><00:26:22.519><c> responsibility</c>

00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:27.859
in<00:26:23.859><c> government,</c><00:26:24.579><c> politics,</c><00:26:25.940><c> wealthy</c><00:26:26.299><c> people</c><00:26:26.920><c> who</c><00:26:27.160><c> today</c><00:26:27.599><c> can</c>

00:26:27.859 --> 00:26:28.759
do<00:26:28.059><c> as</c><00:26:28.279><c> they</c><00:26:28.559><c> please.</c>

00:26:28.819 --> 00:26:31.119
It<00:26:28.940><c> will</c><00:26:29.160><c> do</c><00:26:29.359><c> them</c><00:26:29.579><c> absolutely</c><00:26:30.299><c> no</c><00:26:30.779><c> good.</c>

00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:35.380
They<00:26:31.519><c> will</c><00:26:31.740><c> come</c><00:26:32.000><c> crashing</c><00:26:32.380><c> down</c><00:26:33.279><c> along</c><00:26:33.900><c> with</c><00:26:34.339><c> the</c><00:26:34.420><c> rest</c><00:26:34.880><c> of</c>

00:26:35.380 --> 00:26:37.200
human<00:26:35.960><c> society.</c>

00:26:37.980 --> 00:26:40.559
So<00:26:38.180><c> there's</c><00:26:38.359><c> really</c><00:26:38.960><c> something</c><00:26:39.339><c> to</c><00:26:39.480><c> look</c><00:26:39.740><c> forward</c><00:26:40.000><c> to,</c><00:26:40.259><c> isn't</c><00:26:40.440><c> there?</c>

00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:45.680
Because<00:26:40.819><c> what</c><00:26:41.079><c> Samson</c><00:26:41.460><c> does,</c><00:26:42.619><c> in</c><00:26:42.740><c> his</c><00:26:42.920><c> very</c><00:26:43.180><c> last</c><00:26:43.559><c> act,</c><00:26:45.039><c> is</c><00:26:45.140><c> what</c><00:26:45.259><c> he's</c><00:26:45.440><c> going</c><00:26:45.579><c> to</c>

00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:47.619
be<00:26:45.859><c> involved</c><00:26:46.240><c> in</c><00:26:46.420><c> again.</c>

00:26:48.259 --> 00:26:52.160
In<00:26:48.359><c> his</c><00:26:48.539><c> next</c><00:26:48.960><c> act,</c><00:26:50.700><c> when</c><00:26:50.819><c> he's</c><00:26:51.119><c> made</c><00:26:51.240><c> an</c><00:26:51.400><c> immortal,</c><00:26:51.900><c> and</c><00:26:52.019><c> he</c>

00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:55.160

00:26:55.160 --> 00:27:01.539
and<00:26:55.299><c> hopefully</c><00:26:55.640><c> with</c><00:26:55.880><c> you</c><00:26:56.039><c> and</c><00:26:56.240><c> me,</c><00:26:57.099><c> to</c><00:26:57.440><c> bring</c><00:26:58.059><c> down</c><00:26:58.720><c> human</c><00:26:59.400><c> civilization</c><00:27:00.380><c> with</c><00:27:01.200><c> all</c><00:27:01.440><c> of</c>

00:27:01.539 --> 00:27:05.140
its<00:27:01.720><c> pride</c><00:27:02.579><c> and</c><00:27:03.579><c> its</c><00:27:03.940><c> corruption.</c>

00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:07.819
It's<00:27:05.900><c> going</c><00:27:06.259><c> to</c><00:27:06.599><c> come</c><00:27:07.059><c> crashing</c><00:27:07.519><c> down.</c>

00:27:07.819 --> 00:27:14.400
The<00:27:08.460><c> pillars</c><00:27:09.240><c> that</c><00:27:10.000><c> hold</c><00:27:10.279><c> it</c><00:27:10.480><c> up</c><00:27:11.119><c> are</c><00:27:12.019><c> going</c><00:27:12.339><c> to</c><00:27:12.619><c> be</c><00:27:12.839><c> destroyed.</c>

00:27:16.740 --> 00:27:21.420
That<00:27:17.400><c> is</c><00:27:18.059><c> the</c><00:27:18.160><c> last</c><00:27:18.460><c> thing</c><00:27:18.700><c> Samson</c><00:27:18.980><c> thought</c><00:27:19.240><c> about</c><00:27:20.180><c> when</c><00:27:21.220><c> he</c>

00:27:21.420 --> 00:27:22.420
pushed<00:27:21.640><c> on</c><00:27:21.859><c> those</c><00:27:22.079><c> pillars</c>

00:27:22.420 --> 00:27:26.759
and<00:27:22.619><c> with</c><00:27:22.859><c> divine</c><00:27:23.140><c> strength</c><00:27:24.200><c> overthrew</c><00:27:24.859><c> them.</c>

00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:28.180
Verse<00:27:27.079><c> 28.</c>

00:27:29.740 --> 00:27:33.599
And<00:27:30.460><c> Samson</c><00:27:30.819><c> called</c><00:27:31.299><c> unto</c><00:27:31.579><c> Yahweh</c><00:27:32.039><c> and</c><00:27:32.240><c> said,</c>

00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:36.579
O<00:27:33.759><c> Adonai</c><00:27:34.420><c> Yahweh,</c><00:27:35.759><c> remember</c><00:27:36.099><c> me.</c>

00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:39.420
Now<00:27:37.039><c> that's</c><00:27:37.220><c> an</c><00:27:37.339><c> interesting</c><00:27:37.920><c> use</c><00:27:38.339><c> of</c><00:27:38.599><c> the</c><00:27:38.720><c> divine</c><00:27:39.059><c> title,</c>

00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:40.519
isn't<00:27:39.740><c> it?</c>

00:27:40.819 --> 00:27:46.819
When<00:27:40.980><c> you</c><00:27:41.299><c> spell</c><00:27:41.720><c> that</c><00:27:41.980><c> up,</c><00:27:42.660><c> it</c><00:27:42.680><c> means</c><00:27:43.279><c> he</c><00:27:44.339><c> who</c><00:27:44.799><c> will</c><00:27:45.359><c> be</c><00:27:45.759><c> rulers.</c>

00:27:47.099 --> 00:27:48.900
You<00:27:47.240><c> see</c><00:27:47.339><c> where</c><00:27:47.440><c> his</c><00:27:47.660><c> mind</c><00:27:47.900><c> is?</c>

00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:53.559
He<00:27:50.559><c> who</c><00:27:50.920><c> will</c><00:27:51.259><c> become</c><00:27:52.240><c> rulers.</c>

00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:57.420
Now<00:27:54.480><c> he</c><00:27:54.640><c> doesn't</c><00:27:55.019><c> at</c><00:27:55.140><c> this</c><00:27:55.440><c> point</c><00:27:55.900><c> think</c><00:27:56.259><c> he's</c><00:27:56.519><c> going</c><00:27:56.660><c> to</c><00:27:56.779><c> be</c><00:27:56.940><c> there.</c>

00:27:57.660 --> 00:27:59.259
I'll<00:27:57.799><c> show</c><00:27:58.000><c> you</c><00:27:58.160><c> that.</c>

00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:02.299
He<00:27:59.779><c> thinks</c><00:28:00.079><c> he's</c><00:28:00.420><c> worthy</c><00:28:00.660><c> to</c><00:28:00.880><c> die</c><00:28:01.119><c> with</c><00:28:01.339><c> the</c><00:28:01.519><c> Philistines</c><00:28:01.960><c> and</c>

00:28:04.019 --> 00:28:05.920
But<00:28:04.140><c> of</c><00:28:04.259><c> course</c><00:28:04.359><c> that's</c><00:28:04.559><c> not</c><00:28:04.779><c> going</c><00:28:04.940><c> to</c><00:28:05.079><c> happen.</c>

00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:07.779

00:30:48.180 --> 00:30:51.220
For<00:30:48.339><c> this</c><00:30:48.619><c> thing</c><00:30:48.799><c> I</c><00:30:49.000><c> have</c><00:30:49.160><c> assort</c><00:30:49.359><c> the</c><00:30:49.519><c> Lord</c><00:30:49.880><c> thrice,</c><00:30:50.940><c> that</c><00:30:51.059><c> it</c>

00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:59.400
And<00:30:54.539><c> he</c><00:30:54.740><c> said</c><00:30:54.900><c> unto</c><00:30:55.119><c> me,</c><00:30:56.380><c> My</c><00:30:56.740><c> grace</c><00:30:57.220><c> is</c><00:30:57.660><c> sufficient</c><00:30:58.099><c> for</c><00:30:58.480><c> thee,</c><00:30:58.940><c> Paul.</c>

00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:06.480
For<00:31:00.660><c> my</c><00:31:01.200><c> strength</c><00:31:01.880><c> is</c><00:31:03.279><c> made</c><00:31:03.640><c> perfect</c><00:31:04.680><c> in</c><00:31:05.480><c> weakness.</c>

00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:10.779
Most<00:31:07.339><c> gladly</c><00:31:07.559><c> therefore</c><00:31:08.059><c> will</c><00:31:08.279><c> I</c><00:31:08.460><c> have</c><00:31:08.579><c> the</c><00:31:08.720><c> glory</c><00:31:09.079><c> in</c><00:31:09.400><c> my</c><00:31:09.619><c> infirmities,</c>

He<00:31:24.180><c> knows</c><00:31:24.539><c> he</c><00:31:24.759><c> deserves</c><00:31:25.160><c> to</c><00:31:25.400><c> be</c><00:31:25.619><c> left</c><00:31:26.339><c> with</c><00:31:26.740><c> infirmity.</c>

00:31:28.940 --> 00:31:32.299
Because<00:31:29.420><c> of</c><00:31:29.900><c> the</c><00:31:30.000><c> way</c><00:31:30.180><c> he</c><00:31:30.359><c> has</c><00:31:30.660><c> behaved</c><00:31:31.119><c> and</c><00:31:31.599><c> what</c><00:31:31.859><c> that</c><00:31:32.119><c> will</c>

00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:38.119
And<00:31:34.740><c> what's</c><00:31:35.019><c> done</c><00:31:35.119><c> for</c><00:31:35.279><c> him</c><00:31:35.839><c> is</c><00:31:36.720><c> to</c><00:31:36.839><c> get</c><00:31:36.900><c> him</c><00:31:37.000><c> into</c><00:31:37.119><c> the</c><00:31:37.319><c> kingdom.</c>

00:35:24.940 --> 00:35:27.280
And<00:35:25.099><c> he's</c><00:35:25.380><c> buried</c><00:35:25.579><c> between</c><00:35:26.079><c> Sura</c><00:35:26.480><c> and</c><00:35:26.679><c> Eshteyol.</c>

00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:29.739
These<00:35:27.679><c> are</c><00:35:27.820><c> the</c><00:35:27.940><c> two</c><00:35:28.139><c> places</c><00:35:28.460><c> that</c><00:35:28.639><c> have</c><00:35:28.780><c> played</c><00:35:28.940><c> so</c><00:35:29.139><c> much</c><00:35:29.400><c> part.</c>

00:35:30.099 --> 00:35:32.780

00:35:32.940 --> 00:35:37.539
But<00:35:33.139><c> now</c><00:35:33.400><c> it's</c><00:35:33.579><c> not</c><00:35:34.300><c> the</c><00:35:34.780><c> stray</c><00:35:35.019><c> voices</c><00:35:35.559><c> that's</c><00:35:36.019><c> working</c><00:35:36.300><c> in</c><00:35:36.639><c> Samson.</c>

00:35:44.619 --> 00:35:47.960
And<00:35:45.280><c> his</c><00:35:45.500><c> appeal</c><00:35:45.900><c> is</c><00:35:46.760><c> heartened</c><00:35:47.159><c> to.</c>

00:35:48.340 --> 00:35:54.820
And<00:35:48.440><c> then</c><00:35:48.860><c> Sura</c><00:35:49.599><c> steps</c><00:35:50.780><c> in</c><00:35:51.699><c> and</c><00:35:52.719><c> strikes</c><00:35:53.159><c> down</c><00:35:53.579><c> the</c><00:35:53.780><c> Philistines</c><00:35:54.320><c> in</c><00:35:54.599><c> one</c>

00:35:57.139 --> 00:36:01.260
So<00:35:57.340><c> it</c><00:35:57.440><c> says</c><00:35:57.559><c> he</c><00:35:57.719><c> was</c><00:35:58.039><c> buried</c><00:35:58.260><c> in</c><00:35:58.500><c> the</c><00:35:58.679><c> burying</c><00:35:58.980><c> place</c><00:35:59.300><c> of</c><00:35:59.539><c> Manoa,</c><00:36:00.179><c> his</c><00:36:00.440><c> father.</c>

Well,<00:36:02.059><c> where</c><00:36:02.260><c> did</c><00:36:02.460><c> Manoa</c><00:36:02.960><c> live?</c>

00:36:06.860 --> 00:36:08.679
Now<00:36:07.019><c> we</c><00:36:07.059><c> know</c><00:36:07.260><c> that</c><00:36:07.440><c> Manoa</c><00:36:07.860><c> means</c><00:36:08.179><c> rest.</c>

And<00:36:31.639><c> there</c><00:36:31.760><c> was</c><00:36:32.000><c> a</c><00:36:32.119><c> certain</c><00:36:32.380><c> man</c><00:36:32.679><c> of</c><00:36:32.900><c> Sura</c><00:36:33.099><c> of</c><00:36:33.420><c> the</c><00:36:33.599><c> family</c><00:36:33.880><c> of</c>

00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:36.840
the<00:36:34.179><c> Danites</c><00:36:34.539><c> whose</c><00:36:34.800><c> name</c><00:36:35.059><c> was</c><00:36:35.340><c> Manoa.</c>

00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:40.500
A<00:36:38.059><c> certain</c><00:36:38.800><c> man</c><00:36:39.099><c> of</c><00:36:39.440><c> Sura.</c>

00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:43.900
Yes,<00:36:41.960><c> that's</c><00:36:42.199><c> where</c><00:36:42.400><c> Samson</c><00:36:42.739><c> was</c><00:36:42.960><c> buried.</c>

00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:47.099
In<00:36:44.500><c> the</c><00:36:44.760><c> town</c><00:36:45.260><c> of</c><00:36:45.579><c> Sura.</c>

00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:51.860
So<00:36:47.900><c> finally</c><00:36:48.559><c> the</c><00:36:49.300><c> spirit</c><00:36:49.920><c> has</c><00:36:50.599><c> prevailed.</c>

00:36:51.940 --> 00:36:55.059
The<00:36:52.260><c> flesh</c><00:36:52.519><c> has</c><00:36:52.900><c> been</c><00:36:53.320><c> struck</c><00:36:53.659><c> down.</c>

00:36:56.300 --> 00:36:58.960
It's<00:36:56.619><c> crying</c><00:36:56.980><c> in</c><00:36:57.500><c> the</c><00:36:57.659><c> light</c><00:36:57.760><c> of</c><00:36:57.940><c> this</c><00:36:58.159><c> man.</c>

00:36:59.940 --> 00:37:04.880
So<00:37:00.119><c> let</c><00:37:00.260><c> us,</c><00:37:00.840><c> brothers</c><00:37:01.019><c> and</c><00:37:01.260><c> sisters,</c><00:37:01.860><c> this</c><00:37:01.860><c> morning</c><00:37:02.360><c> remember</c><00:37:03.519><c> this</c><00:37:03.860><c> man.</c>

00:37:05.139 --> 00:37:09.599
The<00:37:05.840><c> man</c><00:37:06.079><c> who</c><00:37:06.400><c> was</c><00:37:06.639><c> the</c><00:37:06.780><c> most</c><00:37:07.260><c> sensitive</c><00:37:07.800><c> to</c><00:37:08.139><c> sin</c><00:37:08.400><c> of</c><00:37:08.920><c> all</c><00:37:09.340><c> the</c>

00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:11.300
sons<00:37:10.059><c> of</c><00:37:10.420><c> Adam.</c>

00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:17.699
The<00:37:12.559><c> man</c><00:37:12.820><c> who</c><00:37:13.139><c> never</c><00:37:13.460><c> said</c><00:37:13.880><c> in</c><00:37:15.159><c> the</c><00:37:16.099><c> battlefield</c><00:37:16.400><c> of</c><00:37:16.699><c> life,</c>

00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:20.099
I'll<00:37:19.300><c> quit.</c>

00:37:21.980 --> 00:37:23.400
He<00:37:22.239><c> never</c><00:37:22.480><c> quit.</c>

00:37:25.099 --> 00:37:27.059
He<00:37:25.360><c> never</c><00:37:25.659><c> capitulated.</c>

00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:32.280
And<00:37:28.400><c> because</c><00:37:28.719><c> of</c><00:37:28.920><c> that,</c><00:37:30.000><c> we</c><00:37:30.179><c> can</c><00:37:30.400><c> be</c><00:37:31.179><c> very,</c><00:37:31.579><c> very</c><00:37:31.820><c> thankful.</c>

00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:38.980
That<00:37:33.559><c> when</c><00:37:33.920><c> we</c><00:37:34.340><c> quit</c><00:37:34.679><c> on</c><00:37:35.619><c> the</c><00:37:35.760><c> odd</c><00:37:35.920><c> occasion</c><00:37:36.739><c> and</c><00:37:37.960><c> cease</c><00:37:38.460><c> to</c>

00:37:38.980 --> 00:37:40.920
struggle<00:37:39.360><c> against</c><00:37:39.880><c> sin.</c>

00:37:41.719 --> 00:37:45.420
And<00:37:41.800><c> go</c><00:37:41.980><c> down</c><00:37:42.139><c> the</c><00:37:42.320><c> same</c><00:37:42.639><c> spiral</c><00:37:43.159><c> that</c><00:37:43.480><c> Samson</c><00:37:43.800><c> went</c><00:37:44.019><c> down</c><00:37:44.360><c> for</c><00:37:44.539><c> us.</c>

00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:49.679
The<00:37:46.880><c> fact</c><00:37:47.119><c> that</c><00:37:47.420><c> this</c><00:37:47.699><c> man</c><00:37:48.320><c> never</c><00:37:48.860><c> quit.</c>

00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:53.719
Means<00:37:50.360><c> that</c><00:37:50.559><c> like</c><00:37:50.739><c> Samson,</c><00:37:51.920><c> we</c><00:37:52.119><c> can</c><00:37:52.460><c> be</c><00:37:52.739><c> recovered.</c>

00:37:53.940 --> 00:37:57.199
If<00:37:54.099><c> there</c><00:37:54.300><c> is</c><00:37:54.440><c> a</c><00:37:54.639><c> change</c><00:37:55.239><c> in</c><00:37:55.659><c> the</c><00:37:55.820><c> way</c><00:37:55.920><c> we</c><00:37:56.239><c> think.</c>

00:37:57.699 --> 00:38:03.719
And<00:37:58.300><c> when</c><00:37:58.440><c> we</c><00:37:58.579><c> come</c><00:37:58.719><c> to</c><00:37:58.880><c> the</c><00:37:59.000><c> conclusion</c><00:37:59.659><c> that</c><00:38:00.659><c> we</c><00:38:01.119><c> of</c><00:38:01.360><c> ourselves</c><00:38:02.059><c> are</c><00:38:02.739><c> nothing.</c>

00:38:05.340 --> 00:38:11.380
God<00:38:05.719><c> in</c><00:38:06.380><c> our</c><00:38:06.679><c> life</c><00:38:07.039><c> can</c><00:38:07.659><c> be</c><00:38:07.860><c> what</c><00:38:08.440><c> he</c><00:38:08.559><c> became</c><00:38:09.480><c> in</c><00:38:10.039><c> Samson's</c><00:38:10.539><c> life.</c>

00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:13.559
He<00:38:12.380><c> can</c><00:38:12.539><c> be</c><00:38:12.699><c> everything.</c>
