We've<00:00:21.320><c> been</c><00:00:21.519><c> with</c><00:00:21.760><c> him</c><00:00:21.859><c> as</c><00:00:22.059><c> an</c><00:00:22.219><c> eight</c><00:00:22.359><c>-year</c><00:00:22.600><c>-old</c><00:00:22.780><c> boy,</c><00:00:24.219><c> very</c><00:00:24.539><c> impressionable,</c><00:00:26.420><c> yet</c><00:00:26.660><c> surrounded</c><00:00:27.339><c> by</c><00:00:27.660><c> people</c>

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.380

00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:58.619
And<00:00:53.200><c> he</c><00:00:53.500><c> purged</c><00:00:53.880><c> the</c><00:00:54.159><c> land,</c><00:00:55.240><c> and</c><00:00:55.320><c> he</c><00:00:56.219><c> set</c><00:00:56.439><c> his</c><00:00:56.740><c> heart</c><00:00:56.939><c> to</c><00:00:57.179><c> serve</c><00:00:57.479><c> God.</c>

00:00:59.020 --> 00:01:03.380

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:26.800
And<00:02:22.719><c> unlike</c><00:02:23.360><c> what</c><00:02:23.599><c> the</c><00:02:23.879><c> prophetess</c><00:02:24.419><c> Huldah</c><00:02:24.680><c> had</c><00:02:25.000><c> said,</c><00:02:25.879><c> he</c><00:02:26.139><c> didn't</c><00:02:26.520><c> go</c>

And<00:03:09.860><c> so</c><00:03:09.960><c> when</c><00:03:10.280><c> Egypt</c><00:03:10.639><c> went</c><00:03:11.000><c> north</c><00:03:11.500><c> to</c><00:03:12.379><c> solidify</c><00:03:13.300><c> its</c><00:03:13.780><c> territory,</c><00:03:14.840><c> including</c><00:03:15.379><c> Israel</c><00:03:16.039><c> and</c><00:03:16.340><c> Judah,</c><00:03:17.500><c> I</c><00:03:17.800><c> believe</c>

00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:33.860
And<00:03:29.800><c> so</c><00:03:29.979><c> he</c><00:03:30.099><c> went</c><00:03:30.300><c> out</c><00:03:30.819><c> against</c><00:03:31.319><c> Pharaoh,</c><00:03:32.159><c> and</c><00:03:32.800><c> he</c><00:03:33.020><c> died.</c>

00:04:31.819 --> 00:04:34.300

00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.139
He<00:04:34.639><c> disguised</c><00:04:35.079><c> himself</c><00:04:35.519><c> and</c><00:04:35.680><c> got</c><00:04:36.079><c> into</c><00:04:36.500><c> the</c><00:04:36.660><c> heat</c><00:04:36.819><c> of</c><00:04:36.939><c> the</c>

00:04:38.339 --> 00:04:42.079

00:04:51.819 --> 00:04:55.360

00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:07.240

00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.819
And<00:05:07.620><c> there's</c><00:05:07.879><c> a</c><00:05:08.120><c> narrow</c><00:05:08.399><c> there</c><00:05:08.740><c> at</c><00:05:08.980><c> Megiddo</c><00:05:09.360><c> that</c><00:05:09.500><c> you</c><00:05:09.660><c> have</c>

00:05:12.379 --> 00:05:14.240
the<00:05:13.259><c> Egyptians.</c>

00:05:14.339 --> 00:05:16.060

00:05:20.019 --> 00:05:22.920
Apparently<00:05:20.480><c> they</c><00:05:20.680><c> had</c><00:05:21.259><c> more</c><00:05:21.680><c> than</c><00:05:21.920><c> one</c><00:05:22.180><c> chariot</c><00:05:22.500><c> with</c><00:05:22.740><c> them,</c>

00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.019

00:11:52.539 --> 00:11:53.779
little<00:11:52.740><c> bit.</c>

00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:56.080
Here's<00:11:54.940><c> the</c><00:11:55.139><c> map</c><00:11:55.279><c> of</c><00:11:55.440><c> the</c><00:11:55.580><c> Middle</c><00:11:55.820><c> East.</c>

00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.899
I've<00:11:56.700><c> put</c><00:11:56.799><c> a</c><00:11:57.120><c> green</c><00:11:57.399><c> mark</c><00:11:57.940><c> at</c><00:11:58.559><c> where</c><00:11:58.720><c> there</c><00:11:58.960><c> is</c><00:11:59.360><c> a</c><00:11:59.700><c> really</c><00:11:59.960><c> crucial</c><00:12:00.419><c> city</c>

00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:01.899
in<00:12:01.379><c> this</c><00:12:01.679><c> time.</c>

00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.039
It<00:12:02.000><c> was</c><00:12:02.240><c> the</c><00:12:02.379><c> city</c><00:12:02.580><c> of</c><00:12:02.860><c> Carchemish.</c>

00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:07.080
Now<00:12:05.240><c> Nineveh</c><00:12:05.620><c> has</c><00:12:05.919><c> already</c><00:12:06.220><c> been</c><00:12:06.500><c> destroyed.</c>

00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.100
It<00:12:07.360><c> was</c><00:12:07.600><c> the</c><00:12:07.879><c> principal</c><00:12:08.360><c> city</c><00:12:09.059><c> of</c><00:12:09.480><c> Assyria.</c>

00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:17.500
The<00:12:10.820><c> Assyrians</c><00:12:11.340><c> then</c><00:12:11.840><c> had</c><00:12:12.240><c> gone</c><00:12:12.600><c> to</c><00:12:12.960><c> Haran,</c><00:12:13.759><c> and</c><00:12:14.120><c> that's</c><00:12:14.500><c> where</c><00:12:14.799><c> their</c><00:12:15.639><c> final</c><00:12:16.259><c> capital</c><00:12:16.779><c> was</c><00:12:17.179><c> before</c>

00:12:17.500 --> 00:12:19.899
they<00:12:17.659><c> were</c><00:12:17.820><c> completely</c><00:12:18.460><c> and</c><00:12:18.879><c> utterly</c><00:12:19.240><c> destroyed.</c>

00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:20.940
It's<00:12:20.639><c> interesting.</c>

00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:26.019
We<00:12:21.100><c> read</c><00:12:21.279><c> here</c><00:12:21.559><c> in</c><00:12:21.860><c> Kings</c><00:12:22.240><c> that</c><00:12:23.000><c> Pharaoh</c><00:12:23.419><c> was</c><00:12:23.759><c> going</c><00:12:24.100><c> up</c><00:12:24.840><c> against</c><00:12:25.720><c> the</c>

00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:32.259
That's<00:12:28.799><c> not</c><00:12:29.120><c> exactly</c><00:12:29.940><c> how</c><00:12:30.379><c> the</c><00:12:30.639><c> history</c><00:12:30.899><c> goes,</c><00:12:31.320><c> and</c><00:12:31.480><c> we</c><00:12:31.700><c> have</c>

00:12:32.259 --> 00:12:34.080
quite<00:12:32.620><c> a</c><00:12:32.759><c> bit</c><00:12:32.919><c> of</c><00:12:33.120><c> profane</c><00:12:33.539><c> information</c>

00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:34.620
about<00:12:34.399><c> it.</c>

00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:40.720
You<00:12:35.000><c> wonder</c><00:12:35.279><c> if</c><00:12:35.539><c> the</c><00:12:36.279><c> writer</c><00:12:36.740><c> of</c><00:12:37.340><c> this</c><00:12:37.980><c> was</c><00:12:38.820><c> referring</c><00:12:39.419><c> to</c><00:12:39.779><c> Babylon</c><00:12:40.159><c> when</c><00:12:40.440><c> he</c>

00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:42.779
said<00:12:40.919><c> Assyria</c><00:12:41.600><c> because</c><00:12:42.159><c> Assyria</c>

00:12:42.779 --> 00:12:45.500
for<00:12:43.019><c> so</c><00:12:43.360><c> long</c><00:12:43.519><c> had</c><00:12:43.740><c> been</c><00:12:43.919><c> the</c><00:12:44.179><c> oppressor</c><00:12:44.679><c> in</c><00:12:44.840><c> that</c><00:12:45.059><c> area.</c>

00:12:45.500 --> 00:12:51.480
So<00:12:45.940><c> as</c><00:12:46.299><c> Babylon</c><00:12:47.000><c> comes</c><00:12:47.940><c> to</c><00:12:48.240><c> the</c><00:12:48.480><c> fore,</c><00:12:49.080><c> comes</c><00:12:49.399><c> to</c><00:12:49.720><c> power,</c><00:12:50.440><c> I</c><00:12:50.620><c> wonder</c><00:12:50.940><c> if</c>

00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:53.639
that's<00:12:52.480><c> not</c><00:12:52.860><c> who</c><00:12:53.019><c> he</c><00:12:53.179><c> was</c><00:12:53.360><c> referring</c>

I<00:13:19.080><c> don't</c><00:13:19.360><c> think</c><00:13:19.580><c> that</c><00:13:19.820><c> they</c><00:13:20.000><c> were</c><00:13:20.419><c> looking</c><00:13:20.779><c> to</c><00:13:21.039><c> have</c><00:13:21.240><c> Babylon</c>

00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:25.740
equated<00:13:24.360><c> that</c><00:13:24.639><c> with</c><00:13:24.879><c> part</c><00:13:25.080><c> of</c><00:13:25.299><c> Assyria.</c>

00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:29.740
I<00:13:25.879><c> mean</c><00:13:26.080><c> Babylon</c><00:13:26.659><c> was</c><00:13:27.059><c> in</c><00:13:27.240><c> the</c><00:13:27.419><c> middle</c><00:13:27.639><c> of</c><00:13:27.820><c> the</c><00:13:27.960><c> Assyrian</c><00:13:28.419><c> empire,</c><00:13:29.220><c> so</c><00:13:29.379><c> I</c>

00:13:29.740 --> 00:13:31.220
believe<00:13:29.980><c> it</c><00:13:30.139><c> was</c><00:13:30.299><c> looked</c><00:13:30.500><c> on</c><00:13:30.679><c> as</c><00:13:31.000><c> all</c>

00:13:31.220 --> 00:13:33.840
the<00:13:31.460><c> same</c><00:13:31.700><c> power</c><00:13:32.200><c> that</c><00:13:32.480><c> had</c><00:13:32.639><c> oppressed</c><00:13:32.980><c> them</c><00:13:33.220><c> for</c><00:13:33.500><c> years.</c>

00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.220
So<00:13:34.480><c> as</c><00:13:34.799><c> he's</c><00:13:35.100><c> moving</c><00:13:35.379><c> up,</c><00:13:35.899><c> he</c><00:13:36.000><c> goes</c><00:13:36.320><c> to</c><00:13:36.559><c> Carchemish.</c>

00:13:37.220 --> 00:13:44.620
After<00:13:37.919><c> that,</c><00:13:38.539><c> history</c><00:13:38.759><c> tells</c><00:13:39.120><c> us</c><00:13:39.740><c> that</c><00:13:40.259><c> he</c><00:13:40.460><c> joins</c><00:13:40.940><c> together</c><00:13:41.740><c> with</c><00:13:42.399><c> the</c><00:13:42.559><c> Assyrian</c><00:13:43.039><c> army</c><00:13:43.600><c> for</c><00:13:43.960><c> a</c><00:13:44.179><c> last</c>

00:13:44.620 --> 00:13:49.460
stand<00:13:45.019><c> at</c><00:13:45.419><c> Haran,</c><00:13:46.539><c> and</c><00:13:47.100><c> unfortunately</c><00:13:48.220><c> they're</c><00:13:48.759><c> defeated</c><00:13:49.200><c> by</c>

00:13:49.460 --> 00:13:50.860
the<00:13:49.659><c> Babylonians.</c>

00:13:50.940 --> 00:13:55.919
What<00:13:51.399><c> Pharaoh</c><00:13:51.620><c> does</c><00:13:52.000><c> is</c><00:13:52.360><c> retreat</c><00:13:53.740><c> to</c><00:13:54.320><c> Carchemish,</c><00:13:55.379><c> and</c><00:13:55.500><c> that's</c><00:13:55.740><c> where</c>

00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:57.360
he<00:13:56.320><c> establishes</c><00:13:56.899><c> himself.</c>

00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:04.679
So<00:13:57.940><c> the</c><00:13:58.080><c> last</c><00:13:58.440><c> year</c><00:13:58.620><c> of</c><00:13:58.820><c> Josiah</c><00:13:59.460><c> was</c><00:14:00.159><c> 609,</c><00:14:01.360><c> and</c><00:14:01.639><c> from</c><00:14:01.899><c> that</c><00:14:02.340><c> time</c><00:14:02.779><c> until</c><00:14:03.259><c> 605</c>

00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:07.200
you'll<00:14:05.500><c> find</c><00:14:05.960><c> that</c><00:14:07.019><c> each</c>

00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:12.299
Egypt<00:14:07.519><c> is</c><00:14:08.080><c> all</c><00:14:08.379><c> the</c><00:14:08.460><c> way</c><00:14:08.580><c> up</c><00:14:08.779><c> there,</c><00:14:09.679><c> and</c><00:14:09.980><c> they</c><00:14:10.259><c> really</c><00:14:11.080><c> hold</c><00:14:11.440><c> sway</c><00:14:11.960><c> a</c>

00:14:12.299 --> 00:14:14.620

00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:19.340
Now<00:14:15.500><c> let's</c><00:14:15.820><c> take</c><00:14:16.080><c> a</c><00:14:16.159><c> look</c><00:14:16.259><c> at</c><00:14:16.379><c> the</c><00:14:16.600><c> different</c><00:14:16.860><c> kings</c><00:14:17.200><c> just</c><00:14:17.580><c> very</c><00:14:18.039><c> quickly</c><00:14:18.419><c> to</c>

00:14:19.340 --> 00:14:20.840
go<00:14:19.580><c> through</c><00:14:19.820><c> who</c><00:14:20.139><c> came</c><00:14:20.440><c> after</c>

00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:21.740
whom.

00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:27.860

One<00:14:56.259><c> authority</c><00:14:56.860><c> might</c><00:14:57.179><c> use,</c><00:14:57.500><c> as</c><00:14:57.679><c> we</c><00:14:57.860><c> talked</c><00:14:58.019><c> about</c><00:14:58.320><c> before,</c>

00:15:06.980 --> 00:15:08.679
got<00:15:07.120><c> about</c><00:15:07.419><c> six</c><00:15:07.659><c> months</c><00:15:08.120><c> difference,</c>

00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:11.519

00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:12.980
so<00:15:11.759><c> it</c><00:15:12.019><c> looks</c><00:15:12.220><c> like</c><00:15:12.419><c> sometimes</c><00:15:12.779><c> you're</c>

00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:16.159
That's<00:15:14.879><c> the</c><00:15:15.039><c> reason</c><00:15:15.299><c> why.</c>

00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.320
Now<00:15:16.679><c> just</c><00:15:17.360><c> quickly</c><00:15:17.740><c> according</c><00:15:18.080><c> to</c><00:15:18.299><c> the</c><00:15:18.519><c> chart,</c><00:15:18.799><c> after</c><00:15:19.159><c> Josiah,</c><00:15:20.200><c> the</c>

00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:41.279
He<00:15:33.320><c> wasn't</c><00:15:33.659><c> like</c><00:15:34.039><c> his</c><00:15:34.360><c> father,</c><00:15:35.120><c> except</c><00:15:35.720><c> that</c><00:15:36.340><c> he</c><00:15:36.720><c> had</c><00:15:37.000><c> this</c><00:15:37.460><c> bent</c><00:15:37.820><c> towards</c><00:15:38.820><c> Babylon,</c><00:15:40.399><c> and</c><00:15:40.840><c> so</c><00:15:41.120><c> they</c>

00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:42.179
put<00:15:41.379><c> him</c><00:15:41.559><c> on</c><00:15:41.740><c> the</c><00:15:41.960><c> throne.</c>

00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:44.220

00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:40.139
Now<00:16:36.519><c> just</c><00:16:36.940><c> as</c><00:16:37.159><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:16:37.960><c> is</c><00:16:38.139><c> beginning</c><00:16:38.500><c> to</c><00:16:39.659><c> flex</c><00:16:39.919><c> his</c>

00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.559
Unfortunately,<00:16:53.080><c> his</c><00:16:53.200><c> son</c><00:16:53.460><c> comes</c><00:16:53.820><c> to</c><00:16:54.059><c> the</c><00:16:54.279><c> throne</c><00:16:54.460><c> at</c><00:16:54.620><c> a</c><00:16:54.779><c> bad</c><00:16:55.039><c> time.</c>

00:16:55.559 --> 00:17:01.580
And<00:16:56.139><c> so</c><00:16:56.519><c> he</c><00:16:56.899><c> is</c><00:16:57.419><c> actually</c><00:16:57.960><c> taken</c><00:16:58.500><c> by</c><00:16:59.519><c> the</c><00:16:59.759><c> king</c><00:17:00.159><c> and</c><00:17:01.139><c> exiled.</c>

00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:03.960
So<00:17:01.820><c> he</c><00:17:01.980><c> only</c><00:17:02.299><c> reigns</c><00:17:02.519><c> three</c><00:17:02.720><c> months</c><00:17:02.980><c> as</c><00:17:03.240><c> well,</c><00:17:03.460><c> and</c><00:17:03.620><c> he's</c><00:17:03.899><c> sent</c>

00:17:15.859 --> 00:17:21.400
So<00:17:16.039><c> if</c><00:17:16.180><c> you</c><00:17:16.279><c> look</c><00:17:16.440><c> at</c><00:17:16.680><c> it,</c><00:17:16.960><c> you've</c><00:17:17.240><c> got</c><00:17:17.640><c> Jehoiahas,</c><00:17:18.779><c> just</c><00:17:19.079><c> three</c><00:17:19.359><c> months,</c><00:17:20.599><c> supplanted</c><00:17:21.140><c> by</c>

Not<00:20:53.480><c> that</c><00:20:53.579><c> it</c><00:20:53.640><c> really</c><00:20:53.900><c> makes</c><00:20:54.140><c> any</c><00:20:54.420><c> difference</c><00:20:54.759><c> where</c><00:20:54.900><c> you're</c><00:20:55.140><c> buried.</c>

00:20:56.539 --> 00:20:59.079
Doesn't<00:20:56.859><c> even</c><00:20:57.079><c> matter</c><00:20:57.220><c> if</c><00:20:57.500><c> you're</c><00:20:57.740><c> buried</c><00:20:58.039><c> at</c><00:20:58.359><c> sea.</c>

00:20:59.099 --> 00:21:01.619

to<00:23:30.339><c> the</c><00:23:30.539><c> city</c><00:23:30.799><c> of</c><00:23:31.099><c> Carchemish.</c>

00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:36.240
And<00:23:32.400><c> finally,</c><00:23:33.079><c> in</c><00:23:33.339><c> 605,</c><00:23:34.640><c> the</c><00:23:34.779><c> city</c><00:23:35.000><c> is</c><00:23:35.380><c> taken.</c>

00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:39.119
And<00:23:36.460><c> in</c><00:23:36.619><c> that</c><00:23:36.920><c> same</c><00:23:37.240><c> year,</c><00:23:38.079><c> a</c><00:23:38.220><c> couple</c><00:23:38.420><c> things</c><00:23:38.700><c> happen.</c>

00:23:39.339 --> 00:23:42.059
One,<00:23:40.079><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:23:40.940><c> dies.</c>

00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:45.559
The<00:23:43.720><c> other</c><00:23:43.960><c> thing</c><00:23:44.140><c> is,</c><00:23:44.279><c> he</c><00:23:44.359><c> didn't</c><00:23:44.619><c> go</c><00:23:44.839><c> out</c><00:23:45.059><c> that</c><00:23:45.299><c> year,</c><00:23:45.480><c> and</c>

00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:47.700
I'm<00:23:45.799><c> assuming</c><00:23:46.220><c> it's</c><00:23:46.579><c> because</c><00:23:46.960><c> he</c><00:23:47.140><c> was</c>

00:23:47.700 --> 00:23:50.039
not<00:23:47.980><c> well,</c><00:23:48.920><c> that</c><00:23:49.319><c> he</c><00:23:49.500><c> was</c><00:23:49.819><c> sick.</c>

00:23:50.539 --> 00:23:52.740
And<00:23:50.640><c> what</c><00:23:50.740><c> he</c><00:23:50.859><c> did</c><00:23:50.980><c> was</c><00:23:51.160><c> he</c><00:23:51.259><c> sent</c><00:23:51.480><c> his</c><00:23:51.740><c> son,</c><00:23:51.980><c> Nebuchadnezzar,</c>

00:23:52.859 --> 00:23:55.140
which<00:23:53.000><c> was</c><00:23:53.319><c> probably</c><00:23:53.920><c> strategically</c><00:23:54.599><c> pretty</c><00:23:54.980><c> good,</c>

00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:57.740
because<00:23:55.440><c> I</c><00:23:55.599><c> think</c><00:23:55.779><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:23:56.720><c> was</c><00:23:56.940><c> a</c><00:23:57.099><c> better</c><00:23:57.319><c> general.</c>

00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:01.059
And<00:23:58.599><c> finally,</c><00:23:59.519><c> Carchemish</c><00:23:59.960><c> is</c><00:24:00.259><c> taken.</c>

00:24:01.140 --> 00:24:02.359
He<00:24:01.279><c> didn't</c><00:24:01.539><c> stop</c><00:24:01.920><c> there.</c>

00:24:02.500 --> 00:24:05.660
Like<00:24:02.759><c> any</c><00:24:03.019><c> good</c><00:24:03.200><c> general,</c><00:24:03.460><c> he</c><00:24:03.740><c> pursued</c><00:24:04.259><c> Egypt</c><00:24:04.799><c> right</c><00:24:05.279><c> to</c><00:24:05.480><c> the</c>

00:24:05.660 --> 00:24:09.420
borders<00:24:05.920><c> of</c><00:24:06.180><c> Egypt,</c><00:24:06.799><c> and</c><00:24:07.500><c> he</c><00:24:07.940><c> went</c><00:24:08.319><c> to</c><00:24:08.799><c> Jerusalem</c>

00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:10.319
as<00:24:09.940><c> well.</c>

00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:15.099
So<00:24:10.819><c> he</c><00:24:11.079><c> invaded</c><00:24:11.500><c> that</c><00:24:11.839><c> whole</c><00:24:12.059><c> area,</c><00:24:12.700><c> and</c><00:24:12.920><c> we</c><00:24:13.160><c> have</c><00:24:13.599><c> synchronizations</c><00:24:14.400><c> about</c><00:24:14.759><c> this</c>

00:24:15.099 --> 00:24:16.039
as<00:24:15.460><c> we</c><00:24:15.660><c> read</c><00:24:15.819><c> through</c>

00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:16.559
the<00:24:16.200><c> Bible.</c>

00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:20.359
Take<00:24:17.119><c> a</c><00:24:17.259><c> look</c><00:24:17.480><c> at</c><00:24:17.720><c> Daniel,</c><00:24:18.160><c> chapter</c><00:24:18.460><c> 1.</c>

00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:28.920
I<00:24:26.400><c> used</c><00:24:26.599><c> to</c><00:24:26.779><c> take</c><00:24:27.000><c> these</c><00:24:27.319><c> books</c><00:24:27.619><c> out,</c><00:24:27.960><c> take</c><00:24:28.200><c> Daniel</c><00:24:28.539><c> and</c><00:24:28.700><c> start</c>

00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:30.299
reading,<00:24:29.359><c> and</c><00:24:29.440><c> then</c><00:24:29.720><c> it</c><00:24:29.960><c> would</c><00:24:30.160><c> give</c>

00:24:30.299 --> 00:24:32.140
a<00:24:30.519><c> synchronization</c><00:24:31.140><c> in</c><00:24:31.319><c> the</c><00:24:31.400><c> beginning</c><00:24:31.619><c> of</c><00:24:31.759><c> the</c><00:24:31.880><c> book,</c><00:24:32.000><c> and</c>

00:24:32.140 --> 00:24:34.680
I'd<00:24:32.299><c> go,</c><00:24:33.500><c> what</c><00:24:33.900><c> does</c><00:24:34.079><c> that</c><00:24:34.259><c> have</c><00:24:34.440><c> to</c><00:24:34.599><c> do</c>

00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:35.180
with<00:24:34.940><c> anything?</c>

00:24:35.259 --> 00:24:36.779
Why<00:24:35.480><c> is</c><00:24:35.619><c> he</c><00:24:35.839><c> giving</c><00:24:35.960><c> me</c><00:24:36.240><c> a</c><00:24:36.519><c> date?</c>

00:24:36.779 --> 00:24:40.000
And<00:24:37.339><c> when</c><00:24:37.759><c> you</c><00:24:37.880><c> get</c><00:24:38.000><c> into</c><00:24:38.200><c> Ezekiel,</c><00:24:38.660><c> it's</c><00:24:38.779><c> not</c><00:24:38.980><c> just</c><00:24:39.279><c> a</c><00:24:39.660><c> date,</c>

00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:41.700
it's<00:24:40.660><c> the</c><00:24:41.160><c> day.</c>

00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:45.920
Tells<00:24:42.299><c> you</c><00:24:42.460><c> what</c><00:24:42.720><c> day</c><00:24:43.339><c> they</c><00:24:43.559><c> did</c><00:24:43.819><c> things,</c><00:24:44.339><c> and</c><00:24:44.579><c> it</c><00:24:45.019><c> really</c><00:24:45.259><c> didn't</c><00:24:45.500><c> make</c><00:24:45.740><c> any</c>

00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:47.319
sense,<00:24:46.440><c> but</c><00:24:46.940><c> once</c><00:24:47.200><c> you</c>

00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.940
know<00:24:47.440><c> a</c><00:24:47.500><c> little</c><00:24:47.660><c> bit</c><00:24:47.799><c> about</c><00:24:48.019><c> the</c><00:24:48.240><c> kings,</c><00:24:48.559><c> you</c><00:24:48.599><c> realize</c><00:24:49.220><c> what's</c>

00:24:49.940 --> 00:24:51.579
happening,<00:24:50.619><c> why</c><00:24:50.880><c> they're</c><00:24:51.099><c> giving</c><00:24:51.319><c> you</c>

00:24:51.579 --> 00:24:52.180
these<00:24:51.880><c> dates.</c>

00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:55.680
So<00:24:52.740><c> Daniel</c><00:24:53.059><c> 1</c><00:24:53.380><c>.1,</c><00:24:53.660><c> it</c><00:24:53.660><c> says,</c><00:24:53.960><c> in</c><00:24:53.960><c> the</c><00:24:54.220><c> third</c><00:24:54.500><c> year,</c><00:24:55.279><c> instead</c><00:24:55.559><c> of</c>

00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:56.799
saying<00:24:55.880><c> the</c><00:24:56.119><c> fourth</c><00:24:56.359><c> year,</c><00:24:56.559><c> it</c><00:24:56.680><c> says</c>

00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:58.859
the<00:24:57.059><c> third</c><00:24:57.299><c> year</c><00:24:57.519><c> here</c><00:24:57.700><c> because</c><00:24:57.980><c> of</c><00:24:58.160><c> the</c><00:24:58.259><c> way</c><00:24:58.380><c> they</c><00:24:58.640><c> reckon</c>

00:24:58.859 --> 00:24:59.339
the<00:24:59.140><c> date.</c>

00:24:59.700 --> 00:25:02.039
In<00:24:59.819><c> the</c><00:25:00.059><c> third</c><00:25:00.339><c> year</c><00:25:00.519><c> of</c><00:25:00.660><c> the</c><00:25:00.799><c> reign</c><00:25:00.980><c> of</c><00:25:01.180><c> Jehoi,</c><00:25:01.579><c> a</c><00:25:01.619><c> king</c><00:25:01.779><c> of</c>

00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:03.920
Judah,<00:25:02.759><c> came</c><00:25:02.880><c> Nebuchadnezzar,</c><00:25:03.740><c> king</c>

00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:08.180

00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:10.779
So<00:25:08.880><c> this</c><00:25:09.279><c> is</c><00:25:09.480><c> the</c><00:25:09.680><c> time</c><00:25:09.859><c> period</c><00:25:10.220><c> we're</c><00:25:10.500><c> in.</c>

00:25:11.059 --> 00:25:14.319
This<00:25:11.359><c> makes</c><00:25:11.640><c> a</c><00:25:11.779><c> little</c><00:25:12.000><c> bit</c><00:25:12.400><c> clearer,</c><00:25:13.180><c> also,</c><00:25:13.680><c> something</c><00:25:14.000><c> else</c>

00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:15.220
we<00:25:14.519><c> read</c><00:25:14.660><c> before.</c>

00:25:15.500 --> 00:25:17.960
Take<00:25:15.700><c> a</c><00:25:15.799><c> look</c><00:25:15.900><c> at</c><00:25:16.059><c> Jeremiah</c><00:25:16.539><c> 25.</c>

00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:19.220
Do<00:25:18.740><c> you</c><00:25:18.900><c> remember?</c>

00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:23.900
It<00:25:19.400><c> was</c><00:25:19.599><c> way</c><00:25:19.819><c> back</c><00:25:20.140><c> in</c><00:25:20.400><c> the</c><00:25:20.579><c> 13th</c><00:25:21.299><c> year</c><00:25:21.519><c> of</c><00:25:21.839><c> Josiah</c><00:25:22.559><c> that</c><00:25:22.980><c> Jeremiah</c><00:25:23.519><c> began</c>

00:25:23.900 --> 00:25:24.660
to<00:25:24.140><c> do</c><00:25:24.299><c> something.</c>

00:25:24.859 --> 00:25:26.680
What<00:25:25.079><c> did</c><00:25:25.240><c> he</c><00:25:25.420><c> begin</c><00:25:25.619><c> to</c><00:25:25.900><c> do?</c>

00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:30.960
He<00:25:29.539><c> began</c><00:25:29.880><c> to</c><00:25:30.240><c> warn</c><00:25:30.440><c> the</c><00:25:30.680><c> people.</c>

00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:35.059
The<00:25:31.200><c> warning</c><00:25:31.660><c> came</c><00:25:32.160><c> in</c><00:25:32.539><c> the</c><00:25:32.740><c> 13th</c><00:25:33.319><c> year</c><00:25:33.480><c> of</c><00:25:33.680><c> Josiah,</c><00:25:34.779><c> and</c><00:25:34.799><c> it</c>

00:25:35.059 --> 00:25:36.839
ran<00:25:35.759><c> all</c><00:25:36.299><c> the</c><00:25:36.480><c> way.</c>

00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:38.400
Well,<00:25:37.119><c> let's</c><00:25:37.339><c> take</c><00:25:37.559><c> a</c><00:25:37.640><c> look.</c>
