00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:16.940
I<00:12:09.259><c> guess</c><00:12:09.919><c> when</c><00:12:12.240><c> we</c><00:12:12.440><c> think</c><00:12:12.580><c> about</c><00:12:12.799><c> this</c><00:12:13.080><c> period,</c><00:12:13.779><c> there</c><00:12:13.820><c> is</c><00:12:15.460><c> ample</c><00:12:15.960><c> opportunity</c><00:12:16.659><c> to</c>

00:12:19.539 --> 00:12:22.019
And<00:12:19.720><c> I</c><00:12:19.799><c> don't</c><00:12:20.159><c> want</c><00:12:20.360><c> to</c><00:12:20.500><c> do</c><00:12:20.700><c> that.</c>

00:12:30.139 --> 00:12:36.139
I<00:12:30.360><c> say</c><00:12:30.679><c> that</c><00:12:30.840><c> I'd</c><00:12:31.039><c> like</c><00:12:31.139><c> to</c><00:12:32.200><c> somehow</c><00:12:32.620><c> take</c><00:12:32.960><c> a</c><00:12:33.220><c> kind</c><00:12:33.340><c> of</c><00:12:33.580><c> positive</c><00:12:34.000><c> approach</c><00:12:34.480><c> to</c><00:12:34.720><c> this,</c><00:12:35.720><c> and</c>

00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:35.000
But<00:14:31.320><c> you've</c><00:14:31.740><c> got</c><00:14:31.879><c> the</c><00:14:32.179><c> conquest</c><00:14:32.740><c> and</c><00:14:33.179><c> the</c><00:14:33.539><c> apostasy.</c>

00:14:35.820 --> 00:14:38.240
Let's<00:14:36.019><c> not</c><00:14:36.240><c> make</c><00:14:36.440><c> anything</c><00:14:36.799><c> else</c><00:14:37.179><c> of</c><00:14:37.419><c> it.</c>

00:14:38.460 --> 00:14:41.019
This<00:14:38.659><c> is</c><00:14:38.840><c> an</c><00:14:39.120><c> apostasy</c><00:14:39.779><c> amongst</c><00:14:40.139><c> God's</c><00:14:40.700><c> people.</c>

00:14:41.019 --> 00:14:45.720

00:14:58.700 --> 00:15:01.940
with<00:14:58.919><c> the</c><00:14:59.159><c> tide,</c><00:14:59.620><c> as</c><00:14:59.960><c> we'll</c><00:15:00.279><c> see</c><00:15:00.659><c> as</c><00:15:01.539><c> we</c><00:15:01.740><c> make</c>

judges<00:15:05.679><c> ruled.</c>

00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:09.559
But<00:15:07.120><c> in</c><00:15:07.299><c> the</c><00:15:07.519><c> first</c><00:15:07.840><c> episode</c><00:15:08.299><c> that</c><00:15:08.440><c> we</c><00:15:08.620><c> call</c><00:15:08.799><c> the</c><00:15:09.100><c> prologue,</c>

00:15:09.580 --> 00:15:11.620
that<00:15:09.679><c> takes</c><00:15:09.919><c> us</c><00:15:10.159><c> down</c><00:15:10.740><c> into</c><00:15:11.179><c> Chapter</c>

00:15:11.620 --> 00:15:15.820
3,<00:15:12.779><c> there</c><00:15:12.860><c> is</c><00:15:13.039><c> Israel's</c><00:15:13.740><c> failure</c><00:15:14.000><c> to</c><00:15:14.299><c> purge</c><00:15:14.620><c> the</c><00:15:14.879><c> land.</c>

00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.600
That's<00:15:17.059><c> a</c><00:15:17.220><c> reiteration</c><00:15:17.740><c> of</c><00:15:17.919><c> that,</c><00:15:18.200><c> because</c><00:15:18.340><c> we'll</c><00:15:18.559><c> be</c><00:15:18.740><c> picking</c><00:15:18.960><c> up</c><00:15:19.220><c> threads</c><00:15:19.419><c> of</c>

00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:20.840
this<00:15:20.120><c> from</c><00:15:20.559><c> the</c><00:15:20.700><c> Book</c>

of<00:15:21.039><c> Joshua.</c>

00:15:22.940 --> 00:15:29.980
The<00:15:23.240><c> second</c><00:15:23.519><c> episode</c><00:15:24.080><c> is</c><00:15:24.940><c> God's</c><00:15:26.000><c> dealings</c><00:15:26.360><c> with</c><00:15:26.639><c> Israel's</c><00:15:27.659><c> rebellion,</c><00:15:29.200><c> just</c><00:15:29.539><c> how</c><00:15:29.779><c> he</c>

00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:30.500
treats<00:15:30.299><c> it,</c>

00:15:30.620 --> 00:15:34.159
what<00:15:30.820><c> his</c><00:15:31.299><c> perspective</c><00:15:31.980><c> is</c><00:15:32.740><c> on</c><00:15:33.720><c> rebellion.</c>

00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:36.940
And<00:15:34.279><c> again,</c><00:15:34.600><c> I</c><00:15:34.840><c> say</c><00:15:35.100><c> to</c><00:15:35.240><c> you,</c><00:15:35.700><c> don't</c><00:15:35.879><c> relegate</c><00:15:36.379><c> this</c><00:15:36.700><c> to</c>

00:15:36.940 --> 00:15:38.639
Israel's<00:15:37.639><c> history.</c>

00:15:39.899 --> 00:15:44.500
God's<00:15:40.419><c> perspective</c><00:15:40.940><c> on</c><00:15:41.240><c> rebellion</c><00:15:42.100><c> remains</c><00:15:43.179><c> the</c><00:15:43.519><c> same.</c>

00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.500
But<00:15:45.720><c> then</c><00:15:45.879><c> we</c><00:15:45.980><c> get</c><00:15:46.120><c> into</c><00:15:46.299><c> the</c><00:15:46.539><c> time</c><00:15:46.679><c> of</c><00:15:46.860><c> the</c><00:15:47.039><c> judges</c><00:15:47.259><c> itself.</c>

00:15:48.700 --> 00:15:52.019
And<00:15:49.080><c> as</c><00:15:49.679><c> normally</c><00:15:49.960><c> is</c><00:15:50.159><c> the</c><00:15:50.320><c> case,</c><00:15:50.600><c> this</c><00:15:50.779><c> is</c><00:15:51.039><c> broken</c><00:15:51.220><c> down</c><00:15:51.559><c> into</c>

00:15:52.019 --> 00:15:54.299
the<00:15:52.440><c> major</c><00:15:52.799><c> judges</c><00:15:53.179><c> and</c><00:15:53.379><c> the</c><00:15:53.620><c> minor</c><00:15:53.899><c> judges,</c>

00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:57.259
something<00:15:54.639><c> that</c><00:15:54.899><c> troubles</c><00:15:55.139><c> me</c><00:15:55.340><c> a</c><00:15:55.360><c> little</c><00:15:55.620><c> bit,</c><00:15:55.820><c> because</c><00:15:56.860><c> when</c>

00:15:57.259 --> 00:16:00.679
we<00:15:57.519><c> apply</c><00:15:57.759><c> the</c><00:15:57.980><c> term</c><00:15:58.500><c> minor</c><00:15:59.399><c> to</c><00:15:59.700><c> our</c><00:16:00.360><c> family</c>

00:16:03.419 --> 00:16:04.840
if<00:16:03.519><c> this</c><00:16:03.679><c> is</c><00:16:03.820><c> the</c><00:16:03.899><c> right</c><00:16:04.059><c> thing</c><00:16:04.259><c> to</c><00:16:04.480><c> do.</c>

00:16:05.220 --> 00:16:08.360
I<00:16:05.320><c> don't</c><00:16:05.500><c> think</c><00:16:05.659><c> anyone</c><00:16:05.980><c> will</c><00:16:06.179><c> be</c><00:16:06.379><c> considered</c><00:16:06.740><c> minor</c><00:16:07.519><c> when</c>

00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:11.240
they<00:16:08.639><c> stand</c><00:16:08.860><c> before</c><00:16:09.200><c> the</c><00:16:09.340><c> Lord</c><00:16:09.559><c> Jesus,</c><00:16:11.039><c> and</c>

00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.519
he<00:16:11.379><c> says,</c><00:16:11.919><c> come,</c><00:16:12.059><c> ye</c><00:16:12.259><c> blessed</c><00:16:12.639><c> of</c><00:16:12.860><c> my</c><00:16:13.120><c> Father,</c><00:16:14.940><c> inherit</c><00:16:15.220><c> the</c>

00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:21.480
And,<00:16:19.659><c> brethren</c><00:16:19.820><c> and</c><00:16:20.039><c> sisters,</c><00:16:20.279><c> that</c><00:16:20.519><c> won't</c><00:16:20.779><c> be</c><00:16:21.059><c> minor,</c><00:16:21.259><c> that</c>

00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:23.000
will<00:16:21.700><c> be</c><00:16:21.899><c> major.</c>

00:16:23.340 --> 00:16:25.320
And<00:16:23.580><c> we</c><00:16:23.720><c> look</c><00:16:23.960><c> forward</c><00:16:24.220><c> to</c><00:16:24.440><c> that.</c>

00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.940
But<00:16:26.240><c> nonetheless,</c><00:16:26.700><c> just</c><00:16:26.879><c> for</c><00:16:27.019><c> the</c><00:16:27.240><c> sake</c><00:16:27.460><c> of</c><00:16:28.080><c> defining</c><00:16:28.620><c> these,</c>

00:16:28.940 --> 00:16:30.279
this<00:16:29.139><c> is</c><00:16:29.299><c> the</c><00:16:29.360><c> way</c><00:16:29.460><c> it's</c><00:16:29.740><c> normally</c><00:16:30.039><c> done,</c>

00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:32.399
so<00:16:30.419><c> I</c><00:16:30.559><c> kind</c><00:16:30.679><c> of</c><00:16:30.940><c> stuck</c><00:16:31.080><c> with</c><00:16:31.899><c> the</c><00:16:32.159><c> pattern.</c>

00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:34.259
You've<00:16:32.700><c> got</c><00:16:32.799><c> the</c><00:16:33.019><c> major</c><00:16:33.320><c> judges.</c>

00:16:34.340 --> 00:16:37.539
And<00:16:34.480><c> I'll</c><00:16:34.580><c> just</c><00:16:34.759><c> tell</c><00:16:34.879><c> you</c><00:16:35.019><c> right</c><00:16:35.220><c> now</c><00:16:35.480><c> that</c><00:16:36.460><c> it's</c><00:16:36.960><c> not</c><00:16:37.200><c> likely</c>

00:16:37.539 --> 00:16:38.500

00:16:41.220 --> 00:16:43.360
I<00:16:41.440><c> don't</c><00:16:41.519><c> know</c><00:16:41.600><c> if</c><00:16:41.639><c> this</c><00:16:41.960><c> disappoints</c><00:16:42.580><c> you.</c>

I'd<00:16:52.980><c> like</c><00:16:53.039><c> to</c><00:16:53.159><c> know</c><00:16:53.220><c> how</c><00:16:53.320><c> that</c><00:16:53.519><c> all</c><00:16:53.759><c> turns</c><00:16:54.059><c> out</c><00:16:54.299><c> and</c><00:16:54.399><c> have</c><00:16:54.519><c> it</c>

00:16:54.740 --> 00:16:56.820
settled<00:16:54.919><c> once</c><00:16:55.200><c> and</c><00:16:55.360><c> for</c><00:16:55.519><c> all,</c><00:16:55.740><c> wouldn't</c><00:16:55.879><c> you?</c>

00:16:57.179 --> 00:16:58.720
But<00:16:57.399><c> we're</c><00:16:57.600><c> not</c><00:16:57.759><c> going</c><00:16:57.919><c> to</c><00:16:58.139><c> touch</c><00:16:58.340><c> on</c><00:16:58.559><c> that.</c>

00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:00.919
We'll<00:16:59.299><c> talk</c><00:16:59.539><c> about</c><00:16:59.759><c> that</c><00:17:00.059><c> privately</c><00:17:00.419><c> if</c><00:17:00.559><c> you</c><00:17:00.740><c> like.</c>

00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:03.820
But<00:17:01.100><c> we're</c><00:17:01.600><c> interested</c><00:17:02.019><c> in</c><00:17:02.220><c> the</c><00:17:02.460><c> background,</c><00:17:02.879><c> the</c><00:17:03.200><c> times,</c>

00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:11.079
the<00:17:09.579><c> things</c><00:17:09.740><c> that</c><00:17:10.000><c> preceded</c><00:17:10.500><c> it</c><00:17:10.740><c> that</c>

00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:11.900

00:17:12.059 --> 00:17:14.759
This<00:17:12.339><c> is</c><00:17:12.460><c> what</c><00:17:12.559><c> we</c><00:17:12.759><c> want</c><00:17:12.859><c> to</c><00:17:13.000><c> look</c><00:17:13.180><c> at,</c><00:17:13.480><c> brethren</c><00:17:13.599><c> and</c><00:17:13.759><c> sisters,</c><00:17:14.059><c> and</c><00:17:14.440><c> see</c>

00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:16.059
why<00:17:15.240><c> things</c><00:17:15.559><c> turned</c><00:17:15.819><c> out</c>

00:17:16.059 --> 00:17:17.460
the<00:17:16.180><c> way</c><00:17:16.299><c> they</c><00:17:16.539><c> did.</c>

00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.859
See<00:17:18.079><c> how</c><00:17:18.400><c> these</c><00:17:18.859><c> things,</c><00:17:19.440><c> these</c><00:17:19.819><c> days</c><00:17:20.259><c> when</c><00:17:20.460><c> the</c><00:17:20.680><c> judges</c><00:17:20.900><c> ruled</c><00:17:21.400><c> can</c>

00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:30.819
But<00:17:28.779><c> the</c><00:17:29.039><c> major</c><00:17:29.279><c> judges</c><00:17:29.579><c> are</c><00:17:29.980><c> listed</c><00:17:30.359><c> throughout.</c>

00:17:40.220 --> 00:17:47.839
With<00:17:40.819><c> Deborah,</c><00:17:42.099><c> I</c><00:17:42.259><c> suppose</c><00:17:42.579><c> we</c><00:17:42.759><c> need</c><00:17:43.000><c> to</c><00:17:43.720><c> write</c><00:17:43.960><c> in</c><00:17:44.539><c> Barak</c><00:17:45.220><c> because</c><00:17:46.599><c> the</c>

00:17:50.180 --> 00:17:52.099
And<00:17:50.299><c> leaves</c><00:17:50.500><c> Deborah</c><00:17:50.839><c> out.</c>

00:17:52.380 --> 00:17:56.500
And<00:17:52.900><c> with</c><00:17:53.160><c> Gideon,</c><00:17:53.500><c> you</c><00:17:53.599><c> might</c><00:17:53.940><c> link</c><00:17:54.380><c> with</c><00:17:54.660><c> Gideon,</c><00:17:55.220><c> his</c><00:17:55.420><c> son,</c>

00:17:57.420 --> 00:18:00.500
who<00:17:57.619><c> did</c><00:17:57.819><c> something</c><00:17:58.220><c> really</c><00:17:58.619><c> that</c><00:17:58.880><c> was</c>

00:18:00.500 --> 00:18:02.700
a<00:18:00.740><c> terrible</c><00:18:01.059><c> thing</c><00:18:01.319><c> for</c><00:18:01.500><c> the</c><00:18:01.700><c> period.</c>

00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:08.000
Abimelech,<00:18:03.559><c> who</c><00:18:03.700><c> attempted</c><00:18:04.039><c> to</c><00:18:04.279><c> make</c><00:18:04.380><c> himself</c><00:18:04.779><c> king</c><00:18:05.119><c> in</c><00:18:05.319><c> Israel</c><00:18:05.700><c> after</c><00:18:06.339><c> Gideon,</c><00:18:06.839><c> his</c><00:18:07.039><c> father.</c>

00:18:10.619 --> 00:18:12.460
But<00:18:10.859><c> this</c><00:18:11.039><c> is</c><00:18:11.200><c> the</c><00:18:11.279><c> major</c><00:18:11.640><c> judges.</c>

00:18:12.539 --> 00:18:14.460
These<00:18:12.779><c> are</c><00:18:12.980><c> the</c><00:18:13.140><c> minor</c><00:18:13.460><c> judges.</c>

00:18:14.900 --> 00:18:17.720
I<00:18:15.099><c> wonder</c><00:18:15.259><c> if</c><00:18:15.500><c> we</c><00:18:15.900><c> know</c><00:18:16.099><c> very</c><00:18:16.400><c> much</c><00:18:16.539><c> about</c><00:18:16.720><c> the</c><00:18:16.980><c> minor</c><00:18:17.279><c> judges.</c>

00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:21.460
We<00:18:18.880><c> should</c><00:18:19.059><c> do</c><00:18:19.220><c> a</c><00:18:19.420><c> series</c><00:18:19.619><c> on</c><00:18:19.859><c> the</c><00:18:20.059><c> minor</c><00:18:20.259><c> judges</c><00:18:20.559><c> alone,</c><00:18:20.980><c> but</c>

00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:23.680
it's<00:18:21.819><c> only</c><00:18:22.039><c> 14</c><00:18:22.539><c> verses.</c>

00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:28.299
For<00:18:24.099><c> all</c><00:18:24.500><c> these</c><00:18:25.299><c> minor</c><00:18:25.779><c> judges,</c><00:18:26.839><c> Shamgar,</c><00:18:27.539><c> Tola,</c><00:18:28.079><c> Jair,</c>

00:18:28.460 --> 00:18:31.420
Ibzan,<00:18:29.059><c> Elan,</c><00:18:30.619><c> Abdon.</c>

00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:35.539
So<00:18:33.319><c> we</c><00:18:33.920><c> don't</c><00:18:34.119><c> know</c><00:18:34.220><c> very</c><00:18:34.460><c> much</c><00:18:34.640><c> about</c><00:18:34.880><c> them,</c><00:18:35.079><c> but</c><00:18:35.220><c> there's</c>

00:18:35.539 --> 00:18:37.099
just<00:18:35.799><c> little</c><00:18:36.039><c> segments</c><00:18:36.500><c> here</c><00:18:36.859><c> and</c><00:18:37.000><c> there</c>

00:18:37.099 --> 00:18:39.680
that<00:18:37.259><c> we</c><00:18:38.160><c> can</c><00:18:38.319><c> draw</c><00:18:38.619><c> on.</c>

00:18:39.819 --> 00:18:44.079
And<00:18:39.960><c> then</c><00:18:40.119><c> of</c><00:18:40.259><c> course</c><00:18:40.539><c> Samson,</c><00:18:41.559><c> the</c><00:18:41.980><c> great</c><00:18:42.660><c> major</c><00:18:43.480><c> judge</c><00:18:43.819><c> that</c>

00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:46.799
comes<00:18:44.279><c> at</c><00:18:44.500><c> the</c><00:18:44.680><c> end</c><00:18:45.259><c> and</c><00:18:46.039><c> really</c><00:18:46.480><c> never</c>

00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:50.400

00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:52.000
And<00:18:50.900><c> then</c><00:18:51.039><c> the</c><00:18:51.259><c> epilogue.</c>

00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:54.619
I'm<00:18:52.680><c> going</c><00:18:52.799><c> to</c><00:18:52.900><c> tell</c><00:18:53.019><c> you</c><00:18:53.119><c> that</c><00:18:53.279><c> I</c><00:18:53.480><c> believe</c><00:18:53.720><c> that</c><00:18:53.880><c> the</c><00:18:54.059><c> epilogue</c><00:18:54.480><c> should</c>

00:18:54.619 --> 00:18:56.000
be<00:18:54.779><c> at</c><00:18:54.880><c> the</c><00:18:55.059><c> beginning.</c>

00:18:56.660 --> 00:18:59.500
Because<00:18:56.940><c> there</c><00:18:57.119><c> are</c><00:18:57.339><c> things</c><00:18:57.619><c> here</c><00:18:58.000><c> in</c><00:18:58.200><c> this</c><00:18:58.759><c> period</c><00:18:59.140><c> that</c><00:18:59.319><c> is</c>

00:18:59.500 --> 00:19:01.279
often<00:18:59.819><c> described</c><00:19:00.319><c> as</c><00:19:00.480><c> the</c><00:19:00.720><c> epilogue</c><00:19:01.119><c> that</c>

00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:04.640

00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:07.559
Ugly<00:19:05.599><c> things</c><00:19:05.960><c> here,</c><00:19:06.400><c> brethren</c><00:19:06.500><c> and</c><00:19:06.720><c> sisters.</c>

00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:12.440
I've<00:19:08.519><c> heard</c><00:19:09.000><c> some</c><00:19:10.619><c> say</c><00:19:10.900><c> that</c><00:19:11.079><c> they</c><00:19:11.299><c> prefer</c><00:19:11.539><c> not</c><00:19:11.759><c> to</c><00:19:12.019><c> read</c><00:19:12.180><c> this</c>

00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:21.019

00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:27.059
place<00:19:23.579><c> during</c><00:19:24.880><c> this</c><00:19:25.779><c> period</c><00:19:26.180><c> that's</c><00:19:26.579><c> described</c><00:19:26.920><c> here.</c>

00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:29.039
But<00:19:27.220><c> I</c><00:19:27.359><c> think</c><00:19:27.480><c> this</c><00:19:27.660><c> is</c><00:19:27.799><c> at</c><00:19:27.920><c> the</c><00:19:28.160><c> beginning.</c>

00:19:29.619 --> 00:19:31.440
And<00:19:29.859><c> this</c><00:19:30.319><c> sets</c><00:19:30.640><c> the</c><00:19:31.019><c> stage.</c>

00:19:31.740 --> 00:19:33.940
There<00:19:31.859><c> are</c><00:19:32.079><c> things</c><00:19:32.299><c> here</c><00:19:32.539><c> particularly</c><00:19:32.980><c> with</c><00:19:33.180><c> the</c><00:19:33.440><c> tribe</c><00:19:33.599><c> of</c>

00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:43.059
of<00:19:37.579><c> the</c><00:19:37.799><c> tribe</c><00:19:38.059><c> of</c><00:19:38.359><c> Dan</c><00:19:38.519><c> from</c><00:19:38.779><c> its</c><00:19:39.119><c> allotted</c><00:19:40.039><c> place</c><00:19:40.680><c> of</c><00:19:40.980><c> inheritance</c><00:19:41.519><c> way</c><00:19:42.839><c> up</c>

00:19:43.059 --> 00:19:44.279
to<00:19:43.220><c> the</c><00:19:43.400><c> north.</c>

00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.079
And<00:19:44.619><c> that</c><00:19:44.759><c> seems</c><00:19:45.000><c> to</c><00:19:45.140><c> be</c><00:19:45.279><c> well</c><00:19:45.519><c> in</c><00:19:45.680><c> effect</c><00:19:45.980><c> when</c><00:19:46.619><c> the</c><00:19:46.799><c> judges</c>

00:19:48.500 --> 00:19:50.660
So<00:19:48.640><c> I</c><00:19:48.720><c> believe</c><00:19:48.920><c> that</c><00:19:49.099><c> this</c><00:19:49.299><c> is</c><00:19:49.799><c> part</c><00:19:50.059><c> of</c><00:19:50.220><c> the</c><00:19:50.420><c> beginning.</c>

00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:54.200
That's<00:19:53.160><c> typical</c><00:19:53.420><c> of</c><00:19:53.599><c> the</c><00:19:53.819><c> period.</c>

00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:58.039

00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:08.279
These<00:20:04.240><c> are</c><00:20:04.440><c> things</c><00:20:04.700><c> that</c><00:20:05.839><c> I</c><00:20:06.039><c> think</c><00:20:06.460><c> belong</c><00:20:06.940><c> at</c><00:20:07.200><c> the</c><00:20:07.420><c> beginning.</c>

00:20:09.819 --> 00:20:12.539
That's<00:20:10.220><c> a</c><00:20:10.599><c> structure,</c><00:20:11.720><c> as</c><00:20:12.220><c> I</c><00:20:12.440><c> say.</c>

00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:17.039
And<00:20:12.720><c> you</c><00:20:12.779><c> may</c><00:20:13.579><c> revise</c><00:20:14.220><c> this</c><00:20:14.519><c> any</c><00:20:14.740><c> way</c><00:20:14.880><c> that</c><00:20:15.160><c> you</c><00:20:15.920><c> see</c><00:20:16.180><c> fit.</c>

00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:22.339
But<00:20:18.039><c> I've</c><00:20:18.180><c> tried</c><00:20:18.279><c> to</c><00:20:18.500><c> work</c><00:20:18.619><c> it</c><00:20:18.819><c> out</c><00:20:19.019><c> also</c><00:20:19.420><c> as</c><00:20:19.779><c> a</c><00:20:19.980><c> kind</c><00:20:20.160><c> of</c><00:20:21.299><c> timeline.</c>

00:20:25.420 --> 00:20:28.160

00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:32.859

00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:42.779
We<00:20:41.279><c> tried</c><00:20:41.480><c> to</c><00:20:41.660><c> make</c><00:20:41.799><c> a</c><00:20:42.000><c> kind</c><00:20:42.140><c> of</c><00:20:42.460><c> timeline.</c>

00:20:42.940 --> 00:20:45.920

00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:52.460

00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:04.039
And<00:22:02.259><c> one</c><00:22:02.460><c> thing</c><00:22:02.700><c> about</c><00:22:02.960><c> these,</c><00:22:03.519><c> brethren</c><00:22:03.519><c> and</c><00:22:03.779><c> sisters,</c><00:22:03.859><c> that</c>

00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:05.200
I<00:22:04.200><c> found</c><00:22:04.420><c> quite</c><00:22:04.700><c> interesting.</c>

00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:09.339
Because<00:22:05.519><c> reading</c><00:22:05.839><c> through</c><00:22:06.119><c> this</c><00:22:06.380><c> period,</c><00:22:07.539><c> somehow</c><00:22:08.140><c> it</c><00:22:09.099><c> just</c>

00:22:09.339 --> 00:22:13.720
sets<00:22:09.619><c> in</c><00:22:09.819><c> your</c><00:22:10.160><c> mind</c><00:22:10.779><c> that</c><00:22:11.400><c> there</c><00:22:11.539><c> was</c><00:22:11.700><c> nothing</c><00:22:11.960><c> but</c><00:22:12.220><c> oppression.</c>

00:22:14.859 --> 00:22:17.980
One<00:22:15.339><c> oppression</c><00:22:15.819><c> after</c><00:22:16.200><c> another</c><00:22:16.460><c> because</c><00:22:16.799><c> of</c><00:22:17.119><c> sin.</c>

00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:21.200
And<00:22:18.339><c> the</c><00:22:18.559><c> deliverance</c><00:22:19.420><c> comes</c><00:22:19.960><c> in</c><00:22:20.160><c> the</c><00:22:20.279><c> form</c><00:22:20.440><c> of</c><00:22:20.619><c> a</c><00:22:20.799><c> judge</c><00:22:21.039><c> and</c>

00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.960
he<00:22:21.420><c> frees</c><00:22:21.640><c> them</c><00:22:21.799><c> and</c><00:22:21.980><c> they</c><00:22:22.099><c> go</c><00:22:22.259><c> right</c><00:22:22.559><c> back</c><00:22:22.799><c> into</c><00:22:23.019><c> it</c><00:22:23.180><c> again.</c>

00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:26.859
Well,<00:22:24.759><c> that's</c><00:22:25.240><c> the</c><00:22:25.420><c> picture,</c><00:22:25.799><c> all</c><00:22:26.039><c> right,</c><00:22:26.200><c> but</c><00:22:26.440><c> it</c><00:22:26.599><c> wasn't</c>

00:22:26.859 --> 00:22:28.539
right<00:22:27.200><c> back</c><00:22:27.539><c> into</c><00:22:27.859><c> it.</c>

00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:31.880
Because<00:22:29.299><c> when</c><00:22:29.460><c> you</c><00:22:29.680><c> really</c><00:22:30.200><c> begin</c><00:22:30.500><c> to</c><00:22:30.880><c> map</c><00:22:31.059><c> out</c><00:22:31.319><c> the</c><00:22:31.559><c> period,</c>

00:22:32.019 --> 00:22:35.039
it<00:22:32.099><c> appears</c><00:22:32.500><c> to</c><00:22:32.759><c> me,</c><00:22:33.500><c> you</c><00:22:33.720><c> may</c><00:22:33.920><c> want</c><00:22:34.059><c> to</c><00:22:34.160><c> just</c><00:22:34.579><c> talk</c><00:22:34.799><c> to</c><00:22:34.920><c> me</c>

00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:35.440
about<00:22:35.240><c> this,</c>

00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:41.859
but<00:22:35.559><c> it</c><00:22:35.819><c> appears</c><00:22:36.059><c> to</c><00:22:36.299><c> me</c><00:22:36.759><c> that</c><00:22:37.180><c> the</c><00:22:37.440><c> time</c><00:22:37.660><c> of</c><00:22:38.059><c> deliverance</c><00:22:39.680><c> extended</c><00:22:40.599><c> to</c>

00:22:41.859 --> 00:22:45.240

00:22:46.420 --> 00:22:51.180
Just<00:22:46.539><c> for</c><00:22:46.720><c> example,</c><00:22:47.519><c> this</c><00:22:47.700><c> Mesopotamian</c><00:22:48.859><c> oppression</c><00:22:49.559><c> here</c><00:22:50.480><c> was</c><00:22:50.960><c> a</c>

00:22:51.180 --> 00:22:56.579
short<00:22:51.359><c> period</c><00:22:51.700><c> of</c><00:22:51.920><c> time,</c><00:22:52.440><c> but</c><00:22:52.660><c> 40</c><00:22:53.099><c> years</c><00:22:53.640><c> of</c><00:22:54.140><c> rest</c><00:22:54.579><c> under</c><00:22:55.240><c> Athneel</c><00:22:55.779><c> and</c><00:22:56.000><c> Shamgar.</c>

00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:58.160
40<00:22:57.440><c> years.</c>

00:22:58.380 --> 00:23:00.640
And<00:22:58.680><c> then</c><00:22:58.819><c> the</c><00:22:59.039><c> oppression</c><00:22:59.400><c> under</c><00:22:59.920><c> the</c><00:23:00.180><c> Moabites.</c>

00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:08.160
And<00:23:01.059><c> Ehud's</c><00:23:02.119><c> deliverance</c><00:23:03.380><c> initiates</c><00:23:04.140><c> an</c><00:23:04.440><c> 80</c><00:23:04.720><c>-year</c><00:23:05.119><c>-long</c><00:23:05.440><c> period</c><00:23:05.839><c> of</c><00:23:07.200><c> rest.</c>

00:23:09.259 --> 00:23:10.099
And<00:23:09.460><c> so</c><00:23:09.779><c> it</c><00:23:09.940><c> goes.</c>

00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:13.700
The<00:23:10.420><c> Canaanite</c><00:23:10.900><c> oppression,</c><00:23:12.359><c> deliverance</c><00:23:12.720><c> by</c><00:23:13.000><c> Deborah</c><00:23:13.359><c> and</c>

00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:23.299
This<00:23:19.039><c> is</c><00:23:19.220><c> Gideon's</c><00:23:20.359><c> son,</c><00:23:20.579><c> by</c><00:23:20.819><c> the</c><00:23:20.980><c> way,</c><00:23:21.140><c> who</c><00:23:21.359><c> attempted</c><00:23:21.660><c> to</c><00:23:21.880><c> make</c><00:23:22.000><c> himself</c><00:23:22.400><c> king</c><00:23:22.720><c> and</c><00:23:22.839><c> did</c><00:23:23.079><c> so</c>

00:23:23.299 --> 00:23:25.279
for<00:23:23.500><c> a</c><00:23:23.660><c> short</c><00:23:23.859><c> time,</c><00:23:24.420><c> but</c><00:23:24.559><c> it</c><00:23:24.700><c> didn't</c><00:23:24.880><c> last.</c>

00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:28.740
And<00:23:25.740><c> then</c><00:23:25.880><c> the</c><00:23:26.220><c> deliverance</c><00:23:26.599><c> by</c><00:23:26.900><c> Tola</c><00:23:27.319><c> and</c><00:23:27.680><c> Jair.</c>

00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:30.099
The<00:23:29.240><c> Ammonite</c><00:23:29.599><c> oppression.</c>

00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:35.339

00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:38.980
And<00:23:35.839><c> then</c><00:23:36.059><c> the</c><00:23:37.200><c> Philistine</c><00:23:37.700><c> oppression.</c>

00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:46.259
And<00:23:39.960><c> Samson</c><00:23:40.299><c> is</c><00:23:40.559><c> involved</c><00:23:41.039><c> and</c><00:23:42.920><c> great</c><00:23:43.599><c> conquests</c><00:23:45.200><c> over</c><00:23:45.779><c> the</c>

Philistines,<00:23:46.980><c> but</c><00:23:47.660><c> it's</c><00:23:50.059><c> from</c><00:23:50.400><c> time</c><00:23:50.759><c> to</c><00:23:51.019><c> time.</c>

00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:53.140
It's<00:23:51.700><c> sporadic</c><00:23:52.160><c> and</c><00:23:52.279><c> it's</c><00:23:52.500><c> not</c><00:23:52.680><c> complete.</c>

00:23:53.140 --> 00:23:56.140

00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:00.559
And<00:23:56.279><c> we</c><00:23:56.359><c> see</c><00:23:56.519><c> the</c><00:23:56.779><c> Philistines</c><00:23:57.160><c> just</c><00:23:58.000><c> continuing</c><00:23:58.500><c> on</c><00:23:58.759><c> as</c><00:23:58.920><c> a</c><00:23:59.140><c> problem</c><00:23:59.400><c> to</c><00:23:59.579><c> Israel.</c>

00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:05.500
I'll<00:24:03.400><c> just</c><00:24:03.519><c> leave</c><00:24:03.680><c> that</c><00:24:03.940><c> there</c><00:24:04.099><c> for</c><00:24:04.259><c> just</c><00:24:04.500><c> a</c><00:24:04.660><c> moment.</c>

00:24:06.619 --> 00:24:12.119
I'd<00:24:06.900><c> just</c><00:24:06.900><c> like</c><00:24:07.039><c> to</c><00:24:08.140><c> think</c><00:24:08.500><c> about</c><00:24:09.079><c> the</c><00:24:10.579><c> chronology</c><00:24:11.299><c> and</c><00:24:11.740><c> the</c>

You<00:24:17.640><c> know,</c><00:24:17.759><c> this</c><00:24:17.900><c> is</c><00:24:18.059><c> like</c><00:24:18.220><c> the</c><00:24:18.680><c> technical</c><00:24:19.119><c> part,</c><00:24:19.500><c> I</c><00:24:19.599><c> guess,</c>

But<00:24:28.160><c> nonetheless,</c><00:24:28.559><c> I</c><00:24:28.700><c> think</c><00:24:28.900><c> it's</c><00:24:29.220><c> good</c><00:24:29.420><c> to</c><00:24:29.619><c> just</c><00:24:29.819><c> understand</c>

00:24:40.220 --> 00:24:43.480

00:33:01.140 --> 00:33:03.859

Or<00:35:29.780><c> I've</c><00:35:29.980><c> got</c><00:35:30.079><c> the</c><00:35:30.280><c> potential</c><00:35:30.659><c> of</c><00:35:30.900><c> doing</c><00:35:31.079><c> it.</c><00:35:33.179><c> These</c><00:35:33.480><c> lessons</c>

00:35:33.780 --> 00:35:34.599
are<00:35:33.980><c> for</c><00:35:34.139><c> us.</c>

00:35:35.099 --> 00:35:40.539
I<00:35:35.239><c> want</c><00:35:35.400><c> you</c><00:35:35.539><c> to</c><00:35:35.699><c> look</c><00:35:35.860><c> here</c><00:35:36.079><c> at</c><00:35:36.300><c> the</c><00:35:36.599><c> pronouns</c><00:35:37.219><c> because</c><00:35:40.179><c> the</c>

00:35:40.539 --> 00:35:43.400
pronouns<00:35:40.940><c> are</c><00:35:41.320><c> not</c><00:35:41.559><c> all</c><00:35:41.920><c> about</c><00:35:42.260><c> Israel.</c>

00:35:43.980 --> 00:35:47.039
The<00:35:44.539><c> pronouns</c><00:35:45.099><c> are</c><00:35:45.380><c> about</c><00:35:45.780><c> us</c><00:35:46.320><c> as</c><00:35:46.719><c> well.</c>

00:35:47.179 --> 00:35:51.659
And<00:35:47.300><c> we</c><00:35:47.420><c> are</c><00:35:47.659><c> just</c><00:35:48.219><c> brought</c><00:35:48.739><c> together</c><00:35:49.519><c> in</c><00:35:50.800><c> this</c><00:35:51.059><c> excitation,</c>

00:35:51.699 --> 00:35:56.000
this<00:35:51.980><c> powerful</c><00:35:52.400><c> excitation</c><00:35:53.300><c> of</c><00:35:54.199><c> our</c><00:35:54.400><c> beloved</c><00:35:54.679><c> brother</c><00:35:54.940><c> Paul.</c>

00:35:56.380 --> 00:36:00.739
So<00:35:56.539><c> look</c><00:35:56.679><c> at</c><00:35:56.800><c> the</c><00:35:57.019><c> pronouns,</c><00:35:57.460><c> verse</c><00:35:57.719><c> 13,</c><00:36:00.059><c> and</c><00:36:00.340><c> they're</c><00:36:00.500><c> worth</c>

00:36:00.739 --> 00:36:02.559
highlighting,<00:36:01.280><c> I</c><00:36:01.519><c> think.</c>

00:36:03.019 --> 00:36:10.219
It's<00:36:03.579><c> not</c><00:36:03.739><c> a</c><00:36:03.900><c> case</c><00:36:04.079><c> of</c><00:36:04.360><c> them</c><00:36:04.820><c> and</c><00:36:05.599><c> us,</c><00:36:08.659><c> all</c><00:36:08.940><c> of</c><00:36:09.039><c> us</c><00:36:09.219><c> together,</c>

00:36:10.659 --> 00:36:11.820
the<00:36:10.880><c> family</c><00:36:11.159><c> of</c><00:36:11.440><c> God.</c>

00:36:11.820 --> 00:36:14.739
That's<00:36:12.679><c> it,</c><00:36:12.920><c> brethren</c><00:36:13.099><c> and</c><00:36:13.260><c> sisters,</c><00:36:13.920><c> verse</c><00:36:14.159><c> 19.</c>

00:36:15.019 --> 00:36:20.340
So<00:36:15.159><c> we</c><00:36:15.480><c> see</c><00:36:15.659><c> that</c><00:36:15.920><c> they</c><00:36:16.920><c> could</c><00:36:17.360><c> not</c><00:36:17.679><c> enter</c><00:36:17.960><c> in</c><00:36:18.239><c> because</c><00:36:18.559><c> of</c><00:36:18.780><c> unbelief.</c>

00:36:21.179 --> 00:36:24.860
Let<00:36:21.780><c> us</c><00:36:22.380><c> therefore</c><00:36:23.539><c> fear.</c>

00:36:25.099 --> 00:36:29.539
Lest<00:36:25.159><c> a</c><00:36:25.460><c> promise</c><00:36:25.760><c> being</c><00:36:26.079><c> left</c><00:36:26.420><c> us</c><00:36:26.940><c> of</c><00:36:27.199><c> entering</c><00:36:27.460><c> into</c><00:36:27.719><c> his</c><00:36:28.039><c> rest,</c><00:36:29.239><c> any</c>

00:36:29.539 --> 00:36:32.340

00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:37.260
For<00:36:33.000><c> unto</c><00:36:33.340><c> us</c><00:36:34.119><c> was</c><00:36:34.360><c> the</c><00:36:34.599><c> gospel</c><00:36:35.079><c> preached</c><00:36:35.519><c> as</c><00:36:36.119><c> well</c><00:36:36.380><c> as</c><00:36:36.559><c> unto</c><00:36:36.719><c> them.</c>

00:36:37.260 --> 00:36:41.780
But<00:36:38.239><c> the</c><00:36:38.420><c> word</c><00:36:38.719><c> preached</c><00:36:39.039><c> did</c><00:36:39.280><c> not</c><00:36:39.599><c> profit</c><00:36:39.960><c> them,</c><00:36:41.099><c> not</c><00:36:41.420><c> being</c>

00:36:41.780 --> 00:36:45.719
mixed<00:36:42.239><c> with</c><00:36:42.900><c> faith</c><00:36:43.340><c> in</c><00:36:43.639><c> them</c><00:36:43.920><c> that</c><00:36:44.199><c> heard</c><00:36:44.440><c> it.</c>

00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:50.199
There<00:36:46.019><c> it</c><00:36:46.139><c> is,</c><00:36:46.380><c> isn't</c><00:36:46.500><c> it?</c><00:36:47.960><c> We're</c><00:36:48.219><c> all</c><00:36:48.500><c> together</c><00:36:48.920><c> in</c><00:36:49.159><c> this.</c>

00:36:50.380 --> 00:36:55.380
We<00:36:50.480><c> look</c><00:36:50.599><c> at</c><00:36:50.739><c> this</c><00:36:50.960><c> example</c><00:36:51.539><c> and</c><00:36:52.579><c> the</c><00:36:52.840><c> apostle</c><00:36:53.139><c> Paul</c><00:36:53.480><c> binds</c><00:36:54.079><c> that</c><00:36:54.500><c> right</c><00:36:54.639><c> into</c><00:36:54.880><c> the</c><00:36:55.039><c> life</c><00:36:55.179><c> of</c>

00:36:55.380 --> 00:36:56.400
the<00:36:55.579><c> believer.</c>

00:36:57.280 --> 00:37:00.139
And<00:36:57.519><c> he</c><00:36:57.639><c> says,</c><00:36:57.739><c> you</c><00:36:58.039><c> see</c><00:36:58.380><c> what</c><00:36:58.579><c> it</c><00:36:58.800><c> is,</c><00:36:58.960><c> don't</c><00:36:59.340><c> let</c><00:36:59.500><c> it</c><00:36:59.659><c> be</c><00:36:59.820><c> like</c>

that<00:37:00.300><c> for</c><00:37:00.519><c> you.</c>

00:37:01.420 --> 00:37:03.840
It<00:37:01.739><c> can't</c><00:37:02.019><c> be</c><00:37:02.239><c> like</c><00:37:02.500><c> that</c><00:37:02.719><c> for</c><00:37:02.920><c> you.</c>

00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:06.679
They<00:37:04.400><c> fail</c><00:37:04.880><c> to</c><00:37:05.119><c> enter</c><00:37:05.320><c> in</c><00:37:05.500><c> because</c><00:37:05.760><c> of</c><00:37:06.000><c> unbelief.</c>

00:37:06.860 --> 00:37:12.539
Are<00:37:07.119><c> you</c><00:37:07.340><c> going</c><00:37:07.480><c> to</c><00:37:07.780><c> fail</c><00:37:08.159><c> for</c><00:37:08.699><c> the</c><00:37:08.960><c> same</c><00:37:09.199><c> reason,</c><00:37:10.219><c> brother,</c><00:37:11.500><c> sister?</c>

00:37:14.099 --> 00:37:16.940
We're<00:37:14.480><c> bound</c><00:37:14.699><c> into</c><00:37:14.940><c> these</c><00:37:15.260><c> things,</c><00:37:15.639><c> brethren</c><00:37:15.760><c> and</c><00:37:15.960><c> sisters.</c>

00:37:17.139 --> 00:37:19.079
And<00:37:17.340><c> Moses</c><00:37:17.639><c> is</c><00:37:17.860><c> going</c><00:37:17.980><c> to</c><00:37:18.159><c> review</c><00:37:18.579><c> the</c><00:37:18.820><c> law.</c>

00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:24.179

00:37:24.380 --> 00:37:26.960

He's<00:38:26.340><c> going</c><00:38:26.440><c> to</c><00:38:26.599><c> show</c><00:38:26.820><c> them</c><00:38:27.000><c> and</c><00:38:27.239><c> speak</c><00:38:27.480><c> to</c><00:38:27.659><c> them</c><00:38:28.360><c> about</c><00:38:29.500><c> what</c>

00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:32.599
they're<00:38:29.960><c> going</c><00:38:30.079><c> to</c><00:38:30.400><c> encounter</c><00:38:30.760><c> when</c><00:38:30.940><c> they</c><00:38:31.099><c> go</c><00:38:31.179><c> into</c><00:38:31.300><c> the</c><00:38:31.579><c> land.</c>

00:38:34.260 --> 00:38:38.460
And<00:38:34.739><c> the</c><00:38:34.980><c> question</c><00:38:35.300><c> is</c><00:38:35.500><c> going</c><00:38:35.699><c> to</c><00:38:35.900><c> be,</c><00:38:37.380><c> how</c><00:38:37.760><c> are</c><00:38:37.960><c> they</c><00:38:38.199><c> going</c>

00:38:38.460 --> 00:38:39.840
to<00:38:38.820><c> deal</c><00:38:39.039><c> with</c><00:38:39.280><c> it?</c>

00:38:40.219 --> 00:38:42.980
What<00:38:40.559><c> are</c><00:38:40.739><c> they</c><00:38:40.900><c> going</c><00:38:41.039><c> to</c><00:38:41.239><c> do</c><00:38:41.340><c> when</c><00:38:41.460><c> they</c><00:38:41.739><c> get</c><00:38:41.900><c> there,</c><00:38:42.320><c> brethren</c><00:38:42.460><c> and</c><00:38:42.699><c> sisters?</c>

00:38:42.980 --> 00:38:49.760
There<00:38:43.260><c> should</c><00:38:43.579><c> be</c><00:38:43.800><c> a</c><00:38:43.960><c> natural</c><00:38:44.440><c> response,</c><00:38:46.159><c> a</c><00:38:46.400><c> natural</c><00:38:46.840><c> reaction</c><00:38:47.559><c> to</c><00:38:49.059><c> sin</c>

00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:54.280
for<00:38:52.420><c> them</c><00:38:52.719><c> and</c><00:38:52.900><c> for</c><00:38:53.159><c> us.</c>

00:38:55.900 --> 00:38:58.380
It<00:38:56.219><c> was</c><00:38:56.440><c> not</c><00:38:56.579><c> a</c><00:38:56.739><c> case</c><00:38:56.880><c> of</c><00:38:57.039><c> being</c><00:38:57.280><c> merciful</c><00:38:57.659><c> to</c><00:38:58.019><c> sin.</c>

00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:01.480
Please<00:38:59.079><c> understand</c><00:38:59.639><c> me</c><00:38:59.880><c> here</c><00:39:00.219><c> and</c><00:39:00.360><c> what</c><00:39:00.440><c> I'm</c><00:39:00.659><c> saying.</c>

00:39:02.460 --> 00:39:09.980
It<00:39:02.599><c> was</c><00:39:02.860><c> not</c><00:39:03.039><c> a</c><00:39:03.280><c> case</c><00:39:03.519><c> of</c><00:39:03.719><c> being</c><00:39:03.960><c> merciful</c><00:39:04.460><c> to</c><00:39:04.920><c> sin</c><00:39:05.960><c> unless</c><00:39:09.739><c> sin</c>

00:39:09.980 --> 00:39:12.099
was<00:39:10.260><c> repented</c><00:39:10.699><c> of</c><00:39:10.920><c> and</c><00:39:11.059><c> forsaken.</c>

00:39:12.099 --> 00:39:15.480
And<00:39:12.960><c> then</c><00:39:13.119><c> there</c><00:39:13.239><c> could</c><00:39:13.400><c> be</c><00:39:13.539><c> nothing</c><00:39:13.739><c> else</c><00:39:14.000><c> but</c><00:39:14.179><c> mercy.</c>

00:39:16.780 --> 00:39:18.239
There's<00:39:17.099><c> got</c><00:39:17.199><c> to</c><00:39:17.320><c> be</c><00:39:17.440><c> a</c><00:39:17.619><c> natural</c><00:39:17.940><c> reaction.</c>

00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:20.360
Just<00:39:18.420><c> go</c><00:39:18.559><c> back</c><00:39:18.760><c> into</c><00:39:18.980><c> Deuteronomy.</c>

00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:27.179
We<00:39:23.940><c> read</c><00:39:24.039><c> from</c><00:39:24.300><c> chapter</c><00:39:24.679><c> seven</c><00:39:25.059><c> with</c><00:39:25.559><c> Brother</c><00:39:25.780><c> Paul.</c>

00:39:31.340 --> 00:39:34.800
Again,<00:39:32.000><c> I'd</c><00:39:32.199><c> like</c><00:39:32.260><c> to</c><00:39:32.500><c> back</c><00:39:32.679><c> up</c><00:39:32.860><c> just</c><00:39:33.059><c> a</c><00:39:33.179><c> little</c><00:39:33.360><c> bit</c><00:39:33.500><c> into</c><00:39:33.739><c> the</c>

00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:37.420
sixth<00:39:35.460><c> chapter.</c>

00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:44.179
Just<00:39:42.239><c> go</c><00:39:42.360><c> into</c><00:39:42.480><c> verse</c><00:39:42.840><c> 21.</c>

00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:51.280
Then<00:39:46.699><c> thou</c><00:39:46.940><c> shalt</c><00:39:47.159><c> say</c><00:39:47.380><c> unto</c><00:39:47.559><c> thy</c><00:39:47.980><c> son,</c><00:39:49.880><c> We</c><00:39:50.219><c> were</c><00:39:50.619><c> Pharaoh's</c>

00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:52.480
bondmen<00:39:51.699><c> in</c><00:39:51.900><c> Egypt,</c>

00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:56.300
and<00:39:53.400><c> the</c><00:39:53.480><c> Lord</c><00:39:53.800><c> brought</c><00:39:54.119><c> us</c><00:39:54.360><c> out</c><00:39:54.639><c> of</c><00:39:54.780><c> Egypt</c><00:39:55.139><c> with</c><00:39:55.320><c> a</c><00:39:55.480><c> mighty</c><00:39:55.739><c> hand.</c>

00:39:56.380 --> 00:39:57.820
Why,<00:39:57.099><c> brethren</c><00:39:57.260><c> and</c><00:39:57.440><c> sisters?</c>

00:39:58.099 --> 00:39:59.820
Why<00:39:58.340><c> did</c><00:39:58.480><c> he</c><00:39:58.599><c> do</c><00:39:58.820><c> that?</c>

00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:03.679
And<00:40:00.679><c> the</c><00:40:00.820><c> Lord</c><00:40:01.059><c> showed</c><00:40:01.380><c> signs</c><00:40:01.980><c> and</c><00:40:02.280><c> wonders</c><00:40:02.639><c> great</c><00:40:03.099><c> and</c><00:40:03.480><c> sore</c>

00:40:03.679 --> 00:40:07.119
upon<00:40:04.000><c> Egypt,</c><00:40:04.840><c> upon</c><00:40:05.059><c> Pharaoh,</c><00:40:05.820><c> and</c><00:40:05.960><c> upon</c><00:40:06.179><c> all</c><00:40:06.420><c> his</c><00:40:06.619><c> household</c>

00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:09.400
before<00:40:07.739><c> our</c><00:40:08.239><c> eyes.</c>

00:40:09.780 --> 00:40:12.440
And<00:40:10.159><c> he</c><00:40:10.360><c> brought</c><00:40:10.559><c> us</c><00:40:10.760><c> out</c><00:40:11.000><c> from</c><00:40:11.360><c> fence</c><00:40:11.539><c> that</c><00:40:11.719><c> he</c><00:40:11.840><c> might</c><00:40:12.099><c> bring</c>

00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:13.860
us<00:40:12.800><c> in.</c>

00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:15.480
That's<00:40:14.320><c> the</c><00:40:14.480><c> reason.</c>

00:40:16.260 --> 00:40:20.059
God<00:40:16.400><c> didn't</c><00:40:16.719><c> bring</c><00:40:16.980><c> them</c><00:40:17.199><c> out</c><00:40:17.360><c> to</c><00:40:17.679><c> perish</c><00:40:17.940><c> in</c><00:40:18.179><c> a</c><00:40:18.300><c> waste,</c><00:40:18.880><c> howling</c><00:40:19.400><c> wilderness</c><00:40:19.840><c> as</c>

00:40:20.059 --> 00:40:20.719
they<00:40:20.400><c> claimed.</c>

00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:24.659
But<00:40:21.739><c> he</c><00:40:21.960><c> brought</c><00:40:22.159><c> them</c><00:40:22.380><c> out</c><00:40:23.179><c> so</c><00:40:23.519><c> that</c><00:40:23.619><c> he</c><00:40:23.679><c> might</c><00:40:23.920><c> bring</c><00:40:24.320><c> them</c>

00:40:24.659 --> 00:40:28.659
in,<00:40:25.280><c> and</c><00:40:26.480><c> God</c><00:40:26.719><c> would</c><00:40:26.960><c> fulfill</c><00:40:27.320><c> it.</c>

00:40:29.260 --> 00:40:32.400
But<00:40:29.420><c> they</c><00:40:29.820><c> failed</c><00:40:30.099><c> to</c><00:40:30.380><c> enter</c><00:40:30.579><c> in</c><00:40:30.820><c> because</c><00:40:31.099><c> of</c><00:40:31.480><c> unbelief.</c>

00:40:32.900 --> 00:40:38.719
Do<00:40:33.039><c> you</c><00:40:33.320><c> believe,</c><00:40:33.900><c> my</c><00:40:34.260><c> brother</c><00:40:34.840><c> and</c><00:40:35.400><c> my</c><00:40:35.699><c> sister,</c><00:40:36.079><c> do</c><00:40:36.260><c> you</c><00:40:36.500><c> believe</c><00:40:37.480><c> that</c>

00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:45.800
God<00:40:39.099><c> has</c><00:40:39.519><c> brought</c><00:40:39.780><c> you</c><00:40:40.119><c> out,</c><00:40:41.820><c> that</c><00:40:43.059><c> he</c><00:40:43.179><c> might</c><00:40:43.440><c> bring</c><00:40:43.699><c> you</c><00:40:44.039><c> in?</c>

00:40:47.619 --> 00:40:49.840
Because<00:40:48.099><c> that's</c><00:40:48.440><c> the</c><00:40:48.559><c> message</c><00:40:48.800><c> of</c><00:40:48.960><c> the</c><00:40:49.179><c> times</c><00:40:49.460><c> here,</c><00:40:49.719><c> and</c>

00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:51.099
it's<00:40:50.159><c> timeless.</c>

00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:54.199
It's<00:40:51.760><c> for</c><00:40:51.960><c> us</c><00:40:52.260><c> as</c><00:40:52.440><c> much</c><00:40:52.599><c> as</c><00:40:52.739><c> it's</c><00:40:52.880><c> for</c><00:40:53.019><c> them.</c>

00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:57.099
And<00:40:54.860><c> it's</c><00:40:55.079><c> important</c><00:40:55.440><c> that</c><00:40:55.579><c> we</c><00:40:55.780><c> believe</c><00:40:56.039><c> that.</c>

00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:00.340
He<00:40:58.440><c> brought</c><00:40:58.659><c> us</c><00:40:58.840><c> out</c><00:40:59.019><c> from</c><00:40:59.320><c> fence</c><00:40:59.480><c> that</c><00:40:59.639><c> he</c><00:40:59.699><c> might</c><00:40:59.900><c> bring</c><00:41:00.119><c> us</c>

00:41:00.340 --> 00:41:03.920
in<00:41:00.460><c> to</c><00:41:00.739><c> give</c><00:41:00.960><c> us</c><00:41:01.340><c> the</c><00:41:01.579><c> land</c><00:41:01.800><c> which</c><00:41:01.980><c> he</c><00:41:02.300><c> swear</c><00:41:02.460><c> unto</c><00:41:02.659><c> our</c><00:41:02.940><c> fathers.</c>

00:41:05.019 --> 00:41:08.679
And<00:41:05.219><c> the</c><00:41:05.380><c> Lord</c><00:41:05.579><c> commanded</c><00:41:06.039><c> us</c><00:41:06.300><c> to</c><00:41:06.440><c> do</c><00:41:06.679><c> all</c><00:41:06.980><c> these</c><00:41:07.280><c> statutes,</c>

00:41:08.940 --> 00:41:11.019
to<00:41:09.300><c> fear</c><00:41:09.579><c> the</c><00:41:09.820><c> Lord</c><00:41:10.000><c> our</c><00:41:10.280><c> God.</c>

00:41:11.139 --> 00:41:13.340
Why,<00:41:11.900><c> brothers</c><00:41:12.159><c> and</c><00:41:12.199><c> sisters?</c>

00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:15.960
For<00:41:14.440><c> our</c><00:41:15.019><c> good.</c>

00:41:16.139 --> 00:41:17.800
Always<00:41:16.739><c> for</c><00:41:17.079><c> our</c><00:41:17.440><c> good.</c>

00:41:18.260 --> 00:41:21.019
And<00:41:18.360><c> I</c><00:41:18.539><c> love</c><00:41:18.780><c> that</c><00:41:19.059><c> word</c><00:41:19.239><c> always</c><00:41:19.739><c> because</c><00:41:20.079><c> that</c><00:41:20.400><c> brings</c><00:41:20.619><c> us</c>

00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:26.179
