00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:05.439
And<00:05:58.720><c> from</c><00:05:58.879><c> Luke</c><00:05:59.100><c> 17,</c><00:06:00.519><c> it's</c><00:06:00.839><c> because</c><00:06:01.420><c> those</c><00:06:02.079><c> days</c><00:06:02.540><c> are</c><00:06:03.519><c> the</c><00:06:03.660><c> very</c><00:06:03.959><c> same</c><00:06:04.500><c> as</c>

00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:06.800
the<00:06:05.620><c> days</c><00:06:05.819><c> when</c><00:06:06.060><c> Christ</c>

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:08.300
will<00:06:07.259><c> return.</c>

00:06:09.860 --> 00:06:11.680
So<00:06:10.060><c> where</c><00:06:10.220><c> are</c><00:06:10.339><c> we</c><00:06:10.439><c> headed</c><00:06:10.579><c> then</c><00:06:10.839><c> tonight?</c>

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.259
We<00:06:12.839><c> first</c><00:06:13.060><c> want</c><00:06:13.220><c> to</c><00:06:13.379><c> remind</c><00:06:13.600><c> ourselves</c><00:06:14.139><c> of</c><00:06:14.500><c> the</c><00:06:14.680><c> key</c><00:06:14.819><c> elements</c>

00:06:15.259 --> 00:06:17.959
that<00:06:15.560><c> we</c><00:06:15.740><c> looked</c><00:06:15.879><c> at</c><00:06:16.060><c> in</c><00:06:16.279><c> Genesis</c><00:06:16.720><c> 19.</c>

00:06:18.379 --> 00:06:22.139
If<00:06:18.500><c> the</c><00:06:18.740><c> last</c><00:06:19.019><c> days</c><00:06:19.240><c> are</c><00:06:19.480><c> similar</c><00:06:19.839><c> to</c><00:06:20.100><c> Lot's</c><00:06:20.439><c> day,</c><00:06:21.680><c> then</c><00:06:21.899><c> how</c>

00:06:22.139 --> 00:06:23.319
did<00:06:22.259><c> they</c><00:06:22.480><c> live?</c>

00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.060
What<00:06:23.879><c> was</c><00:06:24.060><c> their</c><00:06:24.259><c> attitude</c><00:06:24.699><c> towards</c><00:06:25.139><c> God?</c>

00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.100
Why<00:06:26.660><c> was</c><00:06:26.959><c> it</c><00:06:27.180><c> that</c><00:06:27.360><c> God</c><00:06:27.639><c> needed</c><00:06:27.939><c> to</c><00:06:28.279><c> intervene?</c>

00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:32.420
Then<00:06:30.360><c> we</c><00:06:30.540><c> want</c><00:06:30.639><c> to</c><00:06:30.899><c> consider</c><00:06:31.120><c> Lot</c><00:06:31.399><c> himself.</c>

00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.259
We<00:06:33.160><c> mentioned</c><00:06:33.500><c> how</c><00:06:33.639><c> we</c><00:06:33.759><c> have</c><00:06:33.939><c> to</c><00:06:34.100><c> find</c><00:06:34.220><c> a</c><00:06:34.519><c> balance</c><00:06:34.839><c> in</c><00:06:35.139><c> this</c><00:06:35.420><c> study.</c>

00:06:36.899 --> 00:06:40.180
So<00:06:36.959><c> then</c><00:06:37.160><c> what</c><00:06:37.420><c> righteous</c><00:06:38.079><c> characteristics</c><00:06:38.879><c> did</c><00:06:39.199><c> Lot</c><00:06:39.339><c> show?</c>

00:06:40.579 --> 00:06:45.959
What<00:06:40.740><c> can</c><00:06:40.980><c> we</c><00:06:41.279><c> too</c><00:06:41.519><c> emulate</c><00:06:41.980><c> in</c><00:06:42.240><c> our</c><00:06:42.480><c> life</c><00:06:43.000><c> as</c><00:06:43.680><c> we</c><00:06:43.980><c> prepare</c><00:06:44.540><c> living</c><00:06:45.600><c> in</c>

00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.279
the<00:06:46.079><c> last</c><00:06:46.339><c> days?</c>

00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:52.660
And<00:06:48.160><c> then</c><00:06:48.300><c> of</c><00:06:48.480><c> course,</c><00:06:50.360><c> what</c><00:06:50.500><c> is</c><00:06:50.740><c> it</c><00:06:51.279><c> that</c><00:06:51.620><c> God</c><00:06:51.839><c> has</c><00:06:52.139><c> promised</c>

00:06:52.660 --> 00:06:55.019
to<00:06:53.439><c> you</c><00:06:53.600><c> and</c><00:06:53.759><c> I?</c>

00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.839
For<00:06:55.439><c> Lot</c><00:06:55.660><c> it</c><00:06:55.899><c> was</c><00:06:56.100><c> deliverance,</c><00:06:57.300><c> it</c><00:06:57.500><c> was</c><00:06:57.699><c> his</c><00:06:57.980><c> life.</c>

00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:01.000
What<00:06:59.740><c> about</c><00:06:59.939><c> us?</c>

00:07:01.259 --> 00:07:04.279
What<00:07:01.779><c> has</c><00:07:01.980><c> God</c><00:07:02.259><c> promised</c><00:07:02.759><c> to</c><00:07:03.060><c> us?</c>

00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:07.720
And<00:07:04.560><c> what</c><00:07:04.699><c> do</c><00:07:04.800><c> we</c><00:07:04.899><c> need</c><00:07:05.060><c> to</c><00:07:05.300><c> do</c><00:07:05.540><c> to</c><00:07:05.759><c> ensure</c><00:07:06.100><c> that</c><00:07:06.279><c> we</c><00:07:06.439><c> are</c><00:07:06.720><c> spared</c><00:07:07.060><c> from</c>

the<00:07:07.899><c> coming</c><00:07:08.120><c> judgment?</c>

00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:12.459
Let's<00:07:10.439><c> begin</c><00:07:10.620><c> by</c><00:07:10.800><c> opening</c><00:07:11.000><c> our</c><00:07:11.240><c> Bibles</c><00:07:11.579><c> and</c><00:07:11.800><c> coming</c><00:07:12.000><c> back</c><00:07:12.279><c> to</c>
