The<00:12:06.240><c> heaven</c><00:12:06.679><c> is</c><00:12:07.039><c> God's,</c><00:12:07.960><c> but</c><00:12:08.120><c> the</c><00:12:08.379><c> earth</c><00:12:08.659><c> has</c><00:12:08.940><c> been</c><00:12:09.200><c> given,</c><00:12:09.419><c> he</c>

00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:11.580
says,<00:12:09.940><c> to</c><00:12:10.100><c> the</c><00:12:10.279><c> children</c><00:12:10.500><c> of</c><00:12:10.700><c> men.</c>

00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.980
Think<00:12:13.440><c> about</c><00:12:13.639><c> this</c><00:12:13.879><c> one,</c><00:12:14.879><c> Psalm</c><00:12:15.039><c> 103</c><00:12:15.659><c> verse</c><00:12:16.059><c> 11.</c>

00:12:17.580 --> 00:12:22.120
As<00:12:17.679><c> the</c><00:12:18.019><c> heavens</c><00:12:18.340><c> are</c><00:12:18.759><c> high</c><00:12:19.240><c> above</c><00:12:19.539><c> the</c><00:12:19.840><c> earth,</c><00:12:20.259><c> he</c><00:12:20.519><c> says,</c><00:12:21.799><c> so</c>

00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:23.940
great<00:12:22.460><c> is</c><00:12:22.759><c> his</c><00:12:23.039><c> mercy.</c>

00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:27.279
So<00:12:24.580><c> when</c><00:12:24.679><c> you</c><00:12:24.820><c> walk</c><00:12:24.940><c> out</c><00:12:25.100><c> the</c><00:12:25.259><c> door</c><00:12:25.379><c> and</c><00:12:25.519><c> you</c><00:12:25.659><c> see</c><00:12:25.740><c> the</c><00:12:26.120><c> vast</c><00:12:26.460><c> distance</c><00:12:26.820><c> there</c><00:12:27.080><c> is</c>

00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:28.139
between<00:12:27.620><c> the</c><00:12:27.879><c> heavens</c>

00:12:28.139 --> 00:12:30.600
and<00:12:28.360><c> the</c><00:12:28.460><c> earth,</c><00:12:29.100><c> the</c><00:12:29.240><c> heavens</c><00:12:29.460><c> which</c><00:12:29.740><c> belong</c><00:12:29.960><c> to</c><00:12:30.139><c> God</c><00:12:30.320><c> on</c><00:12:30.519><c> the</c>

00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:32.480
earth's<00:12:30.879><c> ours,</c><00:12:31.379><c> it's</c><00:12:31.700><c> a</c><00:12:31.840><c> demonstration,</c>

00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:36.100
a<00:12:32.840><c> physical</c><00:12:33.259><c> demonstration</c><00:12:34.000><c> of</c><00:12:34.580><c> God's</c><00:12:35.100><c> mercy.</c>

00:12:36.899 --> 00:12:41.019
Psalm<00:12:37.059><c> 85</c><00:12:37.500><c> verse</c><00:12:37.860><c> 11,</c><00:12:38.399><c> he</c><00:12:38.399><c> says,</c><00:12:39.240><c> truth</c><00:12:39.240><c> will</c><00:12:40.039><c> spring</c><00:12:40.519><c> out</c><00:12:40.840><c> of</c>

00:12:41.019 --> 00:12:43.480
the<00:12:41.240><c> earth,</c><00:12:42.460><c> righteousness</c><00:12:42.899><c> will</c><00:12:43.279><c> look</c>

00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:44.879
down<00:12:43.799><c> from</c><00:12:44.039><c> heaven.</c>

00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:49.340
So<00:12:46.299><c> think</c><00:12:46.759><c> about</c><00:12:46.980><c> this</c><00:12:47.240><c> from</c><00:12:47.460><c> a</c><00:12:47.759><c> natural</c><00:12:48.179><c> point</c><00:12:48.419><c> of</c><00:12:48.580><c> view.</c>

00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:51.580
You<00:12:49.919><c> go</c><00:12:50.039><c> out</c><00:12:50.159><c> here</c><00:12:50.259><c> and</c><00:12:50.299><c> there</c><00:12:50.419><c> are</c><00:12:50.620><c> fields</c><00:12:50.860><c> of</c><00:12:51.080><c> corn</c><00:12:51.340><c> growing.</c>

00:12:51.659 --> 00:12:53.860
I<00:12:51.799><c> noticed</c><00:12:51.980><c> them</c><00:12:52.120><c> as</c><00:12:52.259><c> we</c><00:12:52.419><c> drove</c><00:12:52.559><c> up</c><00:12:52.759><c> from</c><00:12:52.940><c> Washington.</c>

00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:56.000
So<00:12:54.879><c> what</c><00:12:55.000><c> do</c><00:12:55.059><c> you</c><00:12:55.200><c> see?</c>

00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:58.559
You<00:12:56.179><c> see</c><00:12:56.360><c> all</c><00:12:56.500><c> these</c><00:12:56.620><c> little</c><00:12:57.000><c> bits</c><00:12:57.179><c> of</c><00:12:57.379><c> corn</c><00:12:57.620><c> growing.</c>

00:12:59.259 --> 00:13:01.139
We<00:12:59.360><c> don't</c><00:12:59.500><c> have</c><00:12:59.679><c> much</c><00:12:59.919><c> corn</c><00:13:00.159><c> in</c><00:13:00.320><c> New</c><00:13:00.460><c> Zealand,</c><00:13:00.639><c> that's</c><00:13:00.860><c> why</c><00:13:00.960><c> my</c>

00:13:01.139 --> 00:13:02.679
pictures<00:13:01.379><c> aren't</c><00:13:01.559><c> very</c><00:13:01.759><c> good.</c>

00:13:03.899 --> 00:13:05.419
Okay,<00:13:04.440><c> so</c><00:13:04.620><c> there's</c><00:13:04.879><c> corn</c><00:13:05.139><c> growing.</c>

00:13:05.580 --> 00:13:06.759
What<00:13:05.720><c> happens?</c>

00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.379
Well,<00:13:07.320><c> you</c><00:13:07.440><c> have</c><00:13:07.740><c> sunshine,</c><00:13:08.879><c> and</c><00:13:09.139><c> you</c><00:13:09.220><c> have</c><00:13:09.460><c> rain</c><00:13:09.840><c> that</c><00:13:10.059><c> comes</c>

00:13:10.379 --> 00:13:12.860
down<00:13:10.700><c> from</c><00:13:10.960><c> heaven,</c><00:13:12.139><c> and</c><00:13:12.299><c> the</c><00:13:12.559><c> ground</c>

00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:14.259
brings<00:13:13.259><c> forth</c><00:13:13.679><c> fruitfulness.</c>

00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:17.320
That's<00:13:14.879><c> the</c><00:13:15.100><c> picture</c><00:13:15.340><c> that's</c><00:13:15.600><c> being</c><00:13:15.919><c> drawn</c><00:13:16.179><c> on</c><00:13:16.440><c> here</c><00:13:16.740><c> when</c><00:13:17.080><c> he</c>

00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:20.000
says<00:13:17.980><c> that</c><00:13:18.700><c> righteousness</c><00:13:19.360><c> looks</c><00:13:19.740><c> down</c>

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:21.299
from<00:13:20.279><c> heaven.</c>

00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:27.100
Here's<00:13:22.740><c> righteousness,</c><00:13:23.899><c> looks</c><00:13:24.179><c> down</c><00:13:24.440><c> from</c><00:13:24.659><c> heaven,</c><00:13:25.320><c> he</c><00:13:25.580><c> says,</c><00:13:26.799><c> and</c>

00:13:27.100 --> 00:13:30.320
truth<00:13:27.700><c> springs</c><00:13:28.919><c> out</c><00:13:29.200><c> of</c><00:13:29.320><c> the</c><00:13:29.500><c> earth.</c>

00:13:30.580 --> 00:13:32.480
He's<00:13:30.899><c> talking</c><00:13:31.120><c> here</c><00:13:31.340><c> about</c><00:13:31.559><c> interrelationship.</c>

00:13:32.740 --> 00:13:34.779
From<00:13:32.840><c> a</c><00:13:33.039><c> natural</c><00:13:33.240><c> point</c><00:13:33.460><c> of</c><00:13:33.559><c> view,</c><00:13:33.720><c> this</c><00:13:33.879><c> globe</c><00:13:34.139><c> doesn't</c><00:13:34.480><c> work</c>

00:13:34.779 --> 00:13:36.279
unless<00:13:35.000><c> there</c><00:13:35.240><c> is</c><00:13:35.399><c> a</c><00:13:35.580><c> relationship</c><00:13:35.940><c> between</c>

00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:37.200
the<00:13:36.460><c> heavens</c><00:13:36.679><c> and</c><00:13:36.860><c> the</c><00:13:37.000><c> earth.</c>

00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:40.019
So<00:13:37.600><c> there</c><00:13:37.720><c> is</c><00:13:37.879><c> a</c><00:13:38.000><c> sun</c><00:13:38.279><c> that</c><00:13:38.440><c> God's</c><00:13:38.840><c> created,</c><00:13:39.320><c> and</c><00:13:39.539><c> it</c><00:13:39.779><c> beams</c>

00:13:40.019 --> 00:13:41.799
its<00:13:40.299><c> light</c><00:13:40.500><c> down</c><00:13:40.759><c> upon</c><00:13:40.940><c> the</c><00:13:41.220><c> plants</c><00:13:41.480><c> and</c>

00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.120
they<00:13:42.100><c> grow.</c>

00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:44.480
Take<00:13:43.440><c> the</c><00:13:43.620><c> light</c><00:13:43.720><c> away</c><00:13:43.919><c> and</c><00:13:44.039><c> what</c><00:13:44.200><c> happens?</c>

00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:45.179
They<00:13:44.759><c> die.</c>

00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:47.240
There's<00:13:45.840><c> water</c><00:13:46.120><c> that</c><00:13:46.279><c> comes</c><00:13:46.519><c> down</c><00:13:46.820><c> from</c><00:13:47.039><c> heaven.</c>

00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:48.159
What<00:13:47.399><c> do</c><00:13:47.460><c> the</c><00:13:47.659><c> plants</c><00:13:47.860><c> do?</c>

00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:49.220
They<00:13:48.740><c> grow.</c>

00:13:49.220 --> 00:13:51.799
There's<00:13:49.720><c> a</c><00:13:49.840><c> relationship</c><00:13:50.440><c> between</c><00:13:50.759><c> what</c><00:13:50.980><c> comes</c><00:13:51.279><c> down</c><00:13:51.559><c> from</c>

00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:53.740
above<00:13:52.100><c> and</c><00:13:52.480><c> what</c><00:13:52.639><c> comes</c><00:13:52.940><c> up</c><00:13:53.159><c> from</c><00:13:53.379><c> below.</c>

00:13:53.899 --> 00:13:55.220
What's<00:13:54.179><c> the</c><00:13:54.340><c> psalmist</c><00:13:54.600><c> telling</c><00:13:54.860><c> us?</c>

00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:58.299
That's<00:13:55.960><c> just</c><00:13:56.559><c> a</c><00:13:56.860><c> parable.</c>

00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.860
God's<00:13:58.639><c> righteousness</c><00:13:59.100><c> beams</c><00:13:59.500><c> down</c><00:13:59.899><c> from</c><00:14:00.159><c> heaven,</c><00:14:01.279><c> and</c><00:14:01.419><c> truth</c>

00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:03.419
springs<00:14:02.399><c> out</c><00:14:02.740><c> of</c><00:14:02.960><c> the</c><00:14:03.159><c> earth.</c>

00:14:03.700 --> 00:14:06.340
There's<00:14:04.019><c> an</c><00:14:04.139><c> earth</c><00:14:04.259><c> which</c><00:14:04.539><c> responds</c><00:14:05.080><c> to</c><00:14:05.279><c> the</c><00:14:05.500><c> interaction</c><00:14:05.860><c> of</c><00:14:06.039><c> heaven.</c>

00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:10.620
And<00:14:06.860><c> now</c><00:14:07.039><c> we're</c><00:14:07.299><c> just</c><00:14:08.120><c> starting</c><00:14:08.580><c> to</c><00:14:08.940><c> open</c><00:14:09.200><c> a</c><00:14:09.480><c> crack</c><00:14:09.720><c> here</c><00:14:10.240><c> in</c>

00:14:10.620 --> 00:14:11.580
terms<00:14:10.820><c> of</c><00:14:10.919><c> what</c><00:14:11.059><c> this</c><00:14:11.320><c> means.</c>

00:14:11.820 --> 00:14:15.419
There<00:14:12.059><c> seems</c><00:14:12.340><c> to</c><00:14:12.500><c> be</c><00:14:12.679><c> some</c><00:14:13.000><c> sort</c><00:14:13.159><c> of</c><00:14:13.779><c> parable</c><00:14:14.200><c> involved</c><00:14:14.840><c> in</c>

00:14:15.419 --> 00:14:17.379
this<00:14:15.700><c> particular</c><00:14:16.340><c> story.</c>

00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:20.360
These<00:14:17.659><c> are</c><00:14:17.879><c> the</c><00:14:18.039><c> generations</c><00:14:18.639><c> of</c><00:14:18.960><c> the</c><00:14:19.120><c> heavens</c><00:14:19.460><c> and</c><00:14:19.820><c> the</c><00:14:20.000><c> earth.</c>

00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:23.179
And<00:14:20.919><c> so</c><00:14:21.039><c> then</c><00:14:21.179><c> we</c><00:14:21.299><c> have</c><00:14:21.460><c> a</c><00:14:21.580><c> picture</c><00:14:21.740><c> of</c><00:14:21.899><c> an</c><00:14:22.019><c> earth</c><00:14:22.179><c> which</c><00:14:22.419><c> is</c><00:14:22.700><c> responsive.</c>

00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:26.899
As<00:14:23.600><c> the</c><00:14:23.840><c> rain</c><00:14:24.019><c> comes</c><00:14:24.279><c> down</c><00:14:24.519><c> and</c><00:14:24.620><c> the</c><00:14:24.740><c> sun</c><00:14:24.899><c> comes</c><00:14:25.200><c> down,</c><00:14:25.940><c> so</c><00:14:26.419><c> the</c>

00:14:28.539 --> 00:14:30.399
Now<00:14:28.659><c> listen</c><00:14:28.799><c> to</c><00:14:28.980><c> these</c><00:14:29.179><c> words.</c>

00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.279
Isaiah<00:14:33.059><c> 55.</c>

00:14:35.220 --> 00:14:37.399

00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:57.940
Okay.

00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.480
In<00:15:00.100><c> verse</c><00:15:00.379><c> 9,</c><00:15:01.580><c> or</c><00:15:01.759><c> first</c><00:15:01.980><c> of</c><00:15:02.100><c> all</c><00:15:02.200><c> verse</c><00:15:02.440><c> 8,</c><00:15:02.840><c> my</c><00:15:03.039><c> thoughts</c><00:15:03.299><c> are</c>

my<00:15:05.419><c> ways,</c><00:15:05.779><c> saith</c><00:15:05.960><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:15:07.139 --> 00:15:10.460
For<00:15:07.279><c> as</c><00:15:07.500><c> the</c><00:15:07.740><c> heavens</c><00:15:08.019><c> are</c><00:15:08.460><c> higher</c><00:15:08.779><c> than</c><00:15:08.960><c> the</c><00:15:09.179><c> earth,</c><00:15:10.000><c> my</c><00:15:10.200><c> ways</c>

00:15:10.460 --> 00:15:12.200
are<00:15:10.700><c> higher</c><00:15:10.940><c> than</c><00:15:11.120><c> your</c><00:15:11.360><c> ways,</c><00:15:11.679><c> my</c><00:15:11.919><c> thoughts</c>

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:19.980
As<00:15:14.580><c> the</c><00:15:15.000><c> rain</c><00:15:15.279><c> comes</c><00:15:15.820><c> down</c><00:15:16.559><c> and</c><00:15:17.500><c> the</c><00:15:17.860><c> snow</c><00:15:18.139><c> from</c><00:15:18.799><c> heaven,</c><00:15:19.740><c> and</c>

00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:22.159
it<00:15:20.159><c> returns</c><00:15:20.340><c> not</c><00:15:20.600><c> thither,</c><00:15:21.360><c> but</c><00:15:21.600><c> waters</c><00:15:21.879><c> the</c>

00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:26.039
earth,<00:15:23.000><c> and</c><00:15:23.419><c> maketh</c><00:15:23.720><c> it</c><00:15:24.000><c> bring</c><00:15:24.440><c> forth</c><00:15:24.860><c> and</c><00:15:25.460><c> bud</c><00:15:25.620><c> that</c><00:15:25.759><c> it</c><00:15:25.919><c> may</c>

00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:31.919
the<00:15:27.960><c> yeeter,</c><00:15:28.779><c> so</c><00:15:29.139><c> shall</c><00:15:29.379><c> my</c><00:15:29.740><c> word</c><00:15:30.000><c> be</c><00:15:30.440><c> that</c><00:15:30.919><c> goes</c><00:15:31.279><c> forth</c><00:15:31.620><c> out</c>

00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:32.700
of<00:15:32.080><c> my</c><00:15:32.320><c> mouth.</c>

00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:37.360
So<00:15:33.539><c> here's</c><00:15:33.820><c> God</c><00:15:34.039><c> using</c><00:15:34.360><c> the</c><00:15:34.600><c> picture</c><00:15:34.940><c> of</c><00:15:35.620><c> rain</c><00:15:36.139><c> and</c><00:15:36.559><c> snow</c><00:15:36.860><c> coming</c><00:15:37.139><c> down</c>

00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:38.740
and<00:15:37.639><c> watering</c><00:15:37.899><c> the</c><00:15:38.179><c> ground</c><00:15:38.379><c> and</c>

00:15:38.740 --> 00:15:39.759
life<00:15:39.179><c> springing</c><00:15:39.600><c> out.</c>

00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.259
And<00:15:39.820><c> he</c><00:15:39.899><c> said,</c><00:15:40.240><c> that's</c><00:15:40.620><c> what</c><00:15:40.740><c> my</c><00:15:41.000><c> word</c><00:15:41.120><c> is.</c>

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:45.480
So<00:15:43.639><c> as</c><00:15:43.840><c> we're</c><00:15:44.019><c> sitting</c><00:15:44.159><c> here</c><00:15:44.440><c> now,</c><00:15:44.700><c> you've</c><00:15:44.879><c> got</c><00:15:44.980><c> your</c><00:15:45.139><c> Bibles</c>

00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:46.820
open,<00:15:45.860><c> we're</c><00:15:46.019><c> listening</c><00:15:46.259><c> to</c><00:15:46.419><c> the</c><00:15:46.500><c> word</c><00:15:46.600><c> of</c>

00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:48.580
God,<00:15:47.120><c> what's</c><00:15:47.440><c> the</c><00:15:47.620><c> process?</c>

00:15:48.779 --> 00:15:51.779
It's<00:15:49.039><c> simply</c><00:15:49.399><c> the</c><00:15:49.639><c> heavens</c><00:15:49.879><c> and</c><00:15:50.059><c> the</c><00:15:50.220><c> earth</c><00:15:50.360><c> doing</c><00:15:50.639><c> their</c><00:15:50.899><c> thing.</c>

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.740
The<00:15:52.379><c> heavens</c><00:15:52.639><c> are</c><00:15:52.960><c> sending</c><00:15:53.159><c> down</c><00:15:53.639><c> the</c><00:15:53.940><c> water.</c>

00:15:54.779 --> 00:15:57.019
God's<00:15:55.220><c> word</c><00:15:55.379><c> is</c><00:15:55.580><c> like</c><00:15:55.799><c> that,</c><00:15:55.940><c> he</c><00:15:56.100><c> says,</c><00:15:56.259><c> it</c><00:15:56.379><c> doesn't</c><00:15:56.639><c> return</c>

00:15:57.019 --> 00:15:58.100
to<00:15:57.120><c> him</c><00:15:57.299><c> void</c><00:15:57.559><c> or</c><00:15:57.879><c> empty.</c>

00:15:58.360 --> 00:15:59.240
It's<00:15:58.759><c> powerful.</c>

00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:00.559
It<00:15:59.740><c> achieves</c><00:16:00.179><c> things.</c>

00:16:00.740 --> 00:16:05.960
And<00:16:01.000><c> it's</c><00:16:01.240><c> working</c><00:16:01.539><c> to</c><00:16:01.740><c> get</c><00:16:01.840><c> a</c><00:16:02.100><c> growth</c><00:16:02.320><c> of</c><00:16:02.559><c> response</c><00:16:03.000><c> that</c><00:16:03.179><c> actually</c><00:16:03.500><c> comes</c><00:16:03.820><c> forth</c><00:16:04.299><c> from</c><00:16:04.879><c> the</c><00:16:05.139><c> earth.</c>

00:16:06.460 --> 00:16:09.039
We<00:16:06.899><c> won't</c><00:16:07.120><c> turn</c><00:16:07.360><c> it</c><00:16:07.480><c> up,</c><00:16:07.659><c> but</c><00:16:07.799><c> in</c><00:16:07.960><c> Habakkuk</c><00:16:08.240><c> chapter</c><00:16:08.519><c> 3</c><00:16:08.799><c> verse</c>

00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:11.519
3<00:16:09.639><c> conveys</c><00:16:10.139><c> the</c><00:16:10.419><c> same</c><00:16:10.659><c> sort</c><00:16:10.799><c> of</c><00:16:10.960><c> a</c><00:16:11.100><c> concept,</c>

00:16:11.779 --> 00:16:15.279
the<00:16:12.000><c> idea</c><00:16:12.259><c> of</c><00:16:12.460><c> God's</c><00:16:12.879><c> glory</c><00:16:13.340><c> covering</c><00:16:13.720><c> the</c><00:16:14.039><c> heavens,</c><00:16:14.759><c> and</c><00:16:14.919><c> then</c><00:16:15.100><c> the</c>

00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:17.980
earth<00:16:15.600><c> being</c><00:16:15.980><c> full</c><00:16:16.419><c> of</c><00:16:16.860><c> his</c><00:16:17.100><c> praise.</c>

00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:20.740
Now<00:16:19.139><c> I'm</c><00:16:19.220><c> going</c><00:16:19.299><c> to</c><00:16:19.399><c> rub</c><00:16:19.460><c> that</c><00:16:19.700><c> off,</c><00:16:20.080><c> and</c><00:16:20.200><c> I</c><00:16:20.259><c> want</c><00:16:20.379><c> to</c><00:16:20.500><c> put</c><00:16:20.600><c> up</c>

00:16:20.740 --> 00:16:24.159
there<00:16:20.919><c> briefly</c><00:16:21.259><c> again,</c><00:16:23.639><c> that</c><00:16:23.799><c> structure</c>

00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.240
of<00:16:24.299><c> the</c><00:16:24.480><c> three</c><00:16:24.639><c> days</c><00:16:24.820><c> we</c><00:16:24.960><c> looked</c><00:16:25.120><c> at</c><00:16:25.340><c> yesterday,</c><00:16:26.440><c> and</c><00:16:27.100><c> we're</c>

00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:28.399
going<00:16:27.320><c> to</c><00:16:27.379><c> go</c><00:16:27.539><c> back</c><00:16:27.720><c> and</c><00:16:27.840><c> look</c><00:16:27.960><c> at</c><00:16:28.100><c> Genesis</c>

00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:28.940
chapter<00:16:28.759><c> 1.</c>

00:16:28.940 --> 00:16:31.039
So<00:16:29.159><c> turn</c><00:16:29.299><c> back</c><00:16:29.500><c> to</c><00:16:29.700><c> Genesis</c><00:16:29.940><c> 1.</c>

00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:59.480

00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:47.940

00:20:47.940 --> 00:20:50.039
then<00:20:48.099><c> he</c><00:20:48.240><c> goes</c><00:20:48.400><c> on</c><00:20:48.680><c> to</c><00:20:48.940><c> occupy</c><00:20:49.359><c> the</c><00:20:49.680><c> structure</c>

00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:16.440

Can<00:24:24.200><c> you</c><00:24:24.500><c> see</c><00:24:24.819><c> what</c><00:24:25.039><c> the</c><00:24:25.240><c> prophet's</c><00:24:25.579><c> doing?</c>

00:24:26.579 --> 00:24:31.579

00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:44.440
That's<00:24:43.460><c> our</c><00:24:43.619><c> key.</c>

00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:49.500
Because<00:24:44.980><c> the</c><00:24:45.180><c> key</c><00:24:45.339><c> is</c><00:24:45.579><c> this,</c><00:24:46.460><c> the</c><00:24:46.619><c> earth</c><00:24:46.900><c> without</c><00:24:47.400><c> form</c><00:24:47.680><c> and</c><00:24:47.980><c> void</c><00:24:48.180><c> was</c><00:24:48.519><c> just</c><00:24:49.119><c> a</c>

no<00:25:06.180><c> light.</c>

00:25:06.940 --> 00:25:08.599
In<00:25:07.220><c> there</c><00:25:07.420><c> was</c><00:25:07.599><c> a</c><00:25:07.799><c> perfect</c><00:25:08.180><c> sphere.</c>

00:25:08.819 --> 00:25:12.140
It<00:25:09.039><c> had</c><00:25:09.319><c> no</c><00:25:09.779><c> shape,</c><00:25:10.839><c> no</c><00:25:11.220><c> structure</c><00:25:11.660><c> to</c><00:25:11.940><c> it.</c>

00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:15.380
It<00:25:12.720><c> was</c><00:25:12.960><c> surrounded</c><00:25:13.599><c> by</c><00:25:13.980><c> water</c><00:25:14.420><c> in</c><00:25:14.720><c> the</c><00:25:14.920><c> darkness.</c>

00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:16.940
The<00:25:15.980><c> spirit</c><00:25:16.200><c> of</c><00:25:16.400><c> God</c><00:25:16.579><c> moved.</c>

00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:19.539
The<00:25:17.160><c> word</c><00:25:17.240><c> has</c><00:25:17.420><c> the</c><00:25:17.519><c> idea</c><00:25:17.759><c> of</c><00:25:18.019><c> hovering</c><00:25:18.240><c> like</c><00:25:18.480><c> an</c><00:25:18.660><c> eagle</c><00:25:18.859><c> fluttering</c><00:25:19.279><c> its</c>

00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:20.920
scripture.

00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:25.680
So<00:25:21.440><c> the</c><00:25:21.579><c> God's</c><00:25:21.980><c> latent</c><00:25:22.220><c> power</c><00:25:22.619><c> is</c><00:25:22.839><c> just</c><00:25:23.220><c> brooding</c><00:25:23.759><c> across</c><00:25:24.119><c> this</c><00:25:24.460><c> ball</c><00:25:24.759><c> sitting</c><00:25:25.160><c> there</c><00:25:25.380><c> in</c>

00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:26.440
space,<00:25:26.180><c> but</c>

00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:29.380
it's<00:25:26.759><c> completely</c><00:25:27.140><c> black</c><00:25:27.539><c> and</c><00:25:27.839><c> it</c><00:25:28.039><c> has</c><00:25:28.259><c> no</c><00:25:28.559><c> shape.</c>

00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:32.960
And<00:25:30.440><c> here's</c><00:25:30.819><c> God</c><00:25:31.019><c> looking</c><00:25:31.240><c> at</c><00:25:31.380><c> Israel</c><00:25:31.779><c> in</c><00:25:31.940><c> a</c><00:25:32.099><c> time</c><00:25:32.200><c> of</c><00:25:32.400><c> ignorance</c><00:25:32.680><c> and</c><00:25:32.819><c> he</c>

00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:35.019
says,<00:25:33.900><c> that's</c><00:25:34.039><c> them.</c>

00:25:36.099 --> 00:25:38.819
So<00:25:36.339><c> what</c><00:25:36.539><c> does</c><00:25:36.680><c> that</c><00:25:36.980><c> tell</c><00:25:37.259><c> you</c><00:25:37.440><c> about</c><00:25:37.700><c> Genesis</c><00:25:37.980><c> 1?</c>

00:25:39.339 --> 00:25:43.140
It<00:25:39.559><c> says</c><00:25:39.839><c> that</c><00:25:40.000><c> when</c><00:25:40.180><c> the</c><00:25:40.319><c> earth</c><00:25:40.460><c> starts</c><00:25:40.920><c> without</c><00:25:41.299><c> form</c><00:25:41.519><c> and</c><00:25:41.759><c> void,</c><00:25:42.420><c> that's</c><00:25:42.720><c> what</c><00:25:42.940><c> a</c>

00:25:43.140 --> 00:25:43.759

without<00:25:44.019><c> knowledge.</c>

00:25:46.500 --> 00:25:51.380
Ah,<00:25:48.400><c> Genesis</c><00:25:48.700><c> chapter</c><00:25:49.099><c> 1</c><00:25:49.539><c> and</c><00:25:49.839><c> the</c><00:25:50.019><c> days</c><00:25:50.220><c> of</c><00:25:50.480><c> creation</c><00:25:50.980><c> are</c>

God<00:25:54.799><c> follows</c><00:25:55.279><c> with</c><00:25:55.559><c> people.</c>

00:25:56.940 --> 00:25:59.359
That's<00:25:57.460><c> why</c><00:25:57.640><c> it's</c><00:25:57.839><c> done</c><00:25:58.099><c> in</c><00:25:58.299><c> that</c><00:25:58.500><c> order.</c>

00:25:59.539 --> 00:26:02.079
It's<00:25:59.839><c> a</c><00:26:00.019><c> brilliant</c><00:26:00.440><c> creative</c><00:26:01.019><c> template.</c>

00:26:02.299 --> 00:26:05.359
And<00:26:02.380><c> what</c><00:26:02.519><c> God's</c><00:26:03.000><c> created</c><00:26:03.319><c> in</c><00:26:03.519><c> the</c><00:26:03.660><c> process</c><00:26:04.019><c> of</c><00:26:04.240><c> creation</c><00:26:04.740><c> is</c>

a<00:26:05.619><c> process,</c><00:26:06.359><c> a</c><00:26:06.440><c> pattern,</c><00:26:07.000><c> a</c><00:26:07.000><c> template</c><00:26:07.339><c> which</c>

00:26:07.539 --> 00:26:10.839
he<00:26:07.759><c> follows</c><00:26:07.980><c> with</c><00:26:08.220><c> you</c><00:26:08.500><c> and</c><00:26:08.920><c> me</c><00:26:09.259><c> and</c><00:26:09.680><c> Israel</c><00:26:10.099><c> and</c><00:26:10.420><c> the</c><00:26:10.579><c> entire</c>

00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:17.759
They're<00:26:17.319><c> dark.</c>

00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:18.680
They're<00:26:18.380><c> ignorant.</c>

00:26:18.900 --> 00:26:19.880
They<00:26:19.079><c> have</c><00:26:19.299><c> no</c><00:26:19.619><c> shape.</c>

00:26:20.059 --> 00:26:21.200
They<00:26:20.259><c> have</c><00:26:20.480><c> nothing</c><00:26:20.759><c> in</c><00:26:21.000><c> them.</c>

00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:24.980
And<00:26:21.619><c> what</c><00:26:21.819><c> he</c><00:26:21.960><c> does</c><00:26:22.240><c> is</c><00:26:22.460><c> he</c><00:26:22.480><c> then</c><00:26:22.819><c> systematically</c><00:26:23.500><c> goes</c><00:26:23.839><c> through</c><00:26:24.099><c> a</c><00:26:24.299><c> process</c><00:26:24.720><c> of</c>

00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:29.759
takes<00:26:26.440><c> us</c><00:26:26.660><c> from</c><00:26:26.859><c> being</c><00:26:27.059><c> a</c><00:26:27.359><c> shapeless</c><00:26:27.759><c> black</c><00:26:28.259><c> blob</c><00:26:28.619><c> and</c><00:26:29.160><c> he</c><00:26:29.359><c> turns</c><00:26:29.559><c> us</c>

00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:31.299
into<00:26:29.980><c> a</c><00:26:30.319><c> glorious</c><00:26:30.779><c> creation</c>

00:26:31.299 --> 00:26:32.160

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:36.119
What<00:26:32.599><c> we</c><00:26:32.799><c> have</c><00:26:32.920><c> in</c><00:26:33.079><c> Genesis</c><00:26:33.359><c> chapter</c><00:26:33.680><c> 1</c><00:26:34.099><c> is</c><00:26:34.339><c> a</c><00:26:34.680><c> very</c><00:26:35.160><c> deliberate</c><00:26:35.599><c> structure</c>

00:26:39.539 --> 00:26:41.460
That's<00:26:39.920><c> the</c><00:26:40.119><c> key</c><00:26:40.299><c> to</c><00:26:40.500><c> Genesis</c><00:26:40.819><c> chapter</c><00:26:41.119><c> 1.</c>

00:26:41.740 --> 00:26:44.339
This<00:26:41.940><c> is</c><00:26:42.180><c> not</c><00:26:42.440><c> just</c><00:26:42.720><c> that</c><00:26:42.900><c> you</c><00:26:42.980><c> can</c><00:26:43.160><c> have</c><00:26:43.299><c> a</c><00:26:43.420><c> debate</c><00:26:43.700><c> with</c><00:26:43.900><c> someone</c><00:26:44.160><c> as</c>

or<00:26:45.559><c> not.</c>

00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:49.319
It's<00:26:46.259><c> not</c><00:26:46.480><c> just</c><00:26:46.720><c> a</c><00:26:46.839><c> ninth</c><00:26:47.099><c> grade</c><00:26:47.559><c> science</c><00:26:48.319><c> lesson</c><00:26:48.660><c> saying,</c><00:26:49.140><c> yes,</c><00:26:49.140><c> we</c>

00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:50.180

00:26:50.180 --> 00:26:53.059
It's<00:26:50.700><c> actually</c><00:26:51.059><c> establishing</c><00:26:51.619><c> all</c><00:26:52.000><c> the</c><00:26:52.240><c> golden</c><00:26:52.519><c> principles</c>

00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:54.480
that<00:26:53.539><c> God's</c><00:26:53.779><c> now</c><00:26:53.960><c> going</c><00:26:54.079><c> to</c><00:26:54.220><c> use</c><00:26:54.319><c> in</c>

00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:55.500
your<00:26:54.700><c> life</c><00:26:54.980><c> and</c><00:26:55.259><c> mine.</c>

00:26:55.900 --> 00:27:00.059
He<00:26:56.099><c> takes</c><00:26:56.500><c> us</c><00:26:56.779><c> as</c><00:26:56.980><c> a</c><00:26:57.200><c> black</c><00:26:57.420><c> lump</c><00:26:57.759><c> and</c><00:26:58.160><c> he</c><00:26:58.380><c> takes</c><00:26:58.599><c> us</c><00:26:59.039><c> systematically</c><00:26:59.559><c> through</c><00:26:59.880><c> a</c>

creation<00:27:00.420><c> process.</c>

00:27:01.339 --> 00:27:05.700
So<00:27:01.480><c> now</c><00:27:02.059><c> as</c><00:27:02.440><c> we</c><00:27:02.559><c> go</c><00:27:02.740><c> through</c><00:27:02.940><c> days</c><00:27:03.200><c> 1,</c><00:27:03.619><c> 2,</c><00:27:03.900><c> 3,</c><00:27:04.160><c> 4,</c><00:27:04.539><c> 5,</c><00:27:04.799><c> 6</c><00:27:05.019><c> and</c><00:27:05.180><c> 7,</c>

00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:07.319
understand<00:27:06.400><c> that</c><00:27:06.579><c> what</c><00:27:06.779><c> you</c><00:27:07.000><c> will</c><00:27:07.160><c> see</c>

00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:10.119
matched<00:27:07.599><c> there</c><00:27:07.880><c> is</c><00:27:08.160><c> what</c><00:27:08.319><c> God's</c><00:27:08.680><c> trying</c><00:27:08.779><c> to</c><00:27:08.940><c> do</c><00:27:09.000><c> with</c><00:27:09.180><c> you.</c>

00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:12.880
Genesis<00:27:10.579><c> 1</c><00:27:11.019><c> is</c><00:27:11.420><c> immensely</c><00:27:11.799><c> personal.</c>

00:27:13.059 --> 00:27:14.660
It's<00:27:13.319><c> God's</c><00:27:13.940><c> creative</c><00:27:14.180><c> record.</c>

00:27:14.660 --> 00:27:18.660
And<00:27:15.599><c> when</c><00:27:15.720><c> we</c><00:27:15.880><c> look</c><00:27:16.019><c> at</c><00:27:16.119><c> the</c><00:27:16.480><c> power</c><00:27:16.799><c> of</c><00:27:17.000><c> the</c><00:27:17.240><c> story</c><00:27:17.420><c> of</c><00:27:17.680><c> creation,</c><00:27:18.220><c> we</c><00:27:18.220><c> find</c>

00:27:18.660 --> 00:27:20.259
there's<00:27:19.420><c> God's</c><00:27:20.019><c> latent</c>

00:27:20.259 --> 00:27:23.640

particular<00:27:24.180><c> days.</c>

00:27:24.539 --> 00:27:26.559
It's<00:27:24.940><c> a</c><00:27:25.180><c> marvelous</c><00:27:25.599><c> record.</c>

00:27:26.819 --> 00:27:28.759
Now,<00:27:26.920><c> I</c><00:27:27.039><c> think</c><00:27:27.180><c> I'm</c><00:27:27.400><c> way</c><00:27:27.619><c> out</c><00:27:27.759><c> of</c><00:27:27.900><c> order</c><00:27:28.000><c> with</c><00:27:28.200><c> my</c><00:27:28.400><c> notes</c><00:27:28.640><c> here,</c>

00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:30.140

00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:32.220
Okay.

00:27:32.539 --> 00:27:33.380
There's<00:27:32.859><c> Tohu</c><00:27:33.000><c> and</c><00:27:33.200><c> Bohu.</c>

00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:35.440
We've<00:27:33.599><c> already</c><00:27:33.779><c> looked</c><00:27:33.960><c> at</c><00:27:34.099><c> that.</c>

00:27:49.980 --> 00:27:53.819
Any<00:27:50.039><c> man</c><00:27:50.319><c> who's</c><00:27:50.559><c> in</c><00:27:50.779><c> Christ,</c><00:27:51.460><c> says</c><00:27:51.559><c> Paul,</c><00:27:52.440><c> is</c><00:27:52.720><c> a</c><00:27:52.980><c> new</c><00:27:53.220><c> creation.</c>

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:57.660
Ah,<00:27:54.799><c> there's</c><00:27:55.079><c> the</c><00:27:55.240><c> process</c><00:27:55.559><c> of</c><00:27:55.839><c> creation</c><00:27:56.140><c> of</c><00:27:56.339><c> Genesis</c><00:27:56.700><c> chapter</c><00:27:57.059><c> 1.</c>

00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:32.220
We<00:28:29.819><c> talked</c><00:28:30.000><c> yesterday</c><00:28:30.380><c> about</c><00:28:30.660><c> Genesis</c><00:28:31.019><c> 1</c><00:28:31.240><c> being</c><00:28:31.480><c> a</c><00:28:31.819><c> seed</c><00:28:32.039><c> bed,</c>

And<00:28:53.819><c> God</c><00:28:53.940><c> wants</c><00:28:54.180><c> us</c><00:28:54.400><c> to</c><00:28:54.599><c> respond</c><00:28:55.079><c> in</c><00:28:55.579><c> the</c><00:28:55.859><c> same</c><00:28:56.079><c> way</c><00:28:56.559><c> that</c><00:28:56.920><c> the</c>

earth<00:28:57.380><c> did.</c>

00:28:58.099 --> 00:29:01.380
That's<00:28:58.339><c> what</c><00:28:58.480><c> this</c><00:28:58.740><c> process</c><00:28:59.140><c> of</c><00:28:59.420><c> creation</c><00:28:59.819><c> is</c><00:29:00.240><c> all</c><00:29:00.440><c> about.</c>

00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:06.900
Right.

00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:07.359
Okay.

00:29:07.779 --> 00:29:08.779
Let's<00:29:08.119><c> move</c><00:29:08.299><c> on.</c>

00:29:09.180 --> 00:29:10.099

00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:19.980
Okay.

00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:21.900
Verse<00:29:21.319><c> three.</c>

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:24.579
God<00:29:22.259><c> said,</c><00:29:22.920><c> let</c><00:29:23.000><c> there</c><00:29:23.200><c> be</c><00:29:23.380><c> light,</c><00:29:23.660><c> and</c><00:29:23.759><c> there</c><00:29:23.920><c> was</c><00:29:24.180><c> light.</c>

00:29:24.900 --> 00:29:27.140
And<00:29:25.039><c> God</c><00:29:25.339><c> saw</c><00:29:25.619><c> the</c><00:29:25.819><c> light,</c><00:29:26.000><c> verse</c><00:29:26.279><c> four,</c><00:29:26.500><c> that</c><00:29:26.579><c> it</c><00:29:26.740><c> was</c><00:29:26.920><c> good.</c>

00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:29.140
God<00:29:27.559><c> divided</c><00:29:28.019><c> the</c><00:29:28.259><c> light</c><00:29:28.420><c> from</c><00:29:28.640><c> darkness.</c>

00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:32.720
God<00:29:29.779><c> called</c><00:29:30.099><c> the</c><00:29:30.339><c> light</c><00:29:30.539><c> day,</c><00:29:30.900><c> the</c><00:29:31.099><c> darkness</c><00:29:31.440><c> he</c><00:29:31.720><c> called</c><00:29:31.880><c> night,</c><00:29:32.500><c> and</c>

were<00:29:34.079><c> the</c><00:29:34.240><c> first</c><00:29:34.519><c> day.</c>

00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:35.559
Okay.

00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:37.660
So<00:29:35.960><c> now</c><00:29:36.160><c> we</c><00:29:36.359><c> understand</c><00:29:36.759><c> that</c><00:29:36.920><c> we're</c><00:29:37.099><c> starting</c><00:29:37.359><c> off.</c>

00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:42.180
Each<00:29:38.119><c> of</c><00:29:38.259><c> you</c><00:29:38.400><c> has</c><00:29:38.720><c> started</c><00:29:39.000><c> off</c><00:29:39.400><c> as</c><00:29:40.119><c> a</c><00:29:40.579><c> featureless</c><00:29:41.099><c> black</c><00:29:41.380><c> lump.</c>

00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:44.900
I<00:29:42.640><c> know</c><00:29:42.740><c> it's</c><00:29:42.900><c> not</c><00:29:43.980><c> very</c><00:29:44.140><c> flattering,</c><00:29:44.599><c> is</c><00:29:44.779><c> it?</c>

00:29:44.940 --> 00:29:47.559
But<00:29:45.299><c> we've</c><00:29:45.660><c> all</c><00:29:45.859><c> started</c><00:29:46.059><c> off</c><00:29:46.299><c> as</c><00:29:46.480><c> a</c><00:29:46.640><c> featureless</c><00:29:47.059><c> black</c><00:29:47.279><c> lump.</c>

00:29:47.980 --> 00:29:51.619
What's<00:29:48.400><c> the</c><00:29:48.759><c> first</c><00:29:49.220><c> thing</c><00:29:49.500><c> that</c><00:29:49.839><c> happens</c><00:29:50.160><c> in</c><00:29:50.299><c> the</c><00:29:50.440><c> creative</c><00:29:50.680><c> process?</c>

00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:53.539
Have<00:29:52.160><c> a</c><00:29:52.200><c> look</c><00:29:52.299><c> at</c><00:29:52.400><c> the</c><00:29:52.519><c> verse</c><00:29:52.640><c> there.</c>

00:29:54.500 --> 00:29:54.700
Light.

00:29:54.819 --> 00:29:55.200
Light,<00:29:54.819><c> okay.</c>

00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:57.980
Go<00:29:55.619><c> back</c><00:29:55.859><c> one</c><00:29:56.180><c> step</c><00:29:56.500><c> before</c><00:29:56.920><c> there</c><00:29:57.099><c> was</c><00:29:57.240><c> light.</c>

00:29:58.519 --> 00:29:59.099
You<00:29:58.660><c> are</c><00:29:58.900><c> right.</c>

00:29:59.140 --> 00:30:00.519
Light<00:29:59.319><c> was</c><00:29:59.500><c> the</c><00:29:59.660><c> first</c><00:29:59.819><c> thing</c><00:30:00.000><c> created.</c>

00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:06.160
But<00:30:01.140><c> what's</c><00:30:01.480><c> the</c><00:30:01.680><c> first</c><00:30:01.960><c> thing</c><00:30:02.160><c> that</c><00:30:02.460><c> happens</c><00:30:03.000><c> in</c><00:30:03.759><c> the</c><00:30:04.000><c> creative</c><00:30:04.279><c> process</c><00:30:04.779><c> to</c><00:30:05.019><c> get</c><00:30:05.200><c> light?</c>

00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:10.319
Okay.

00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:12.460
There<00:30:10.440><c> was</c><00:30:10.559><c> the</c><00:30:10.819><c> spirit</c><00:30:11.000><c> moving</c><00:30:11.279><c> upon</c><00:30:11.519><c> the</c><00:30:11.700><c> face</c><00:30:11.859><c> of</c><00:30:12.039><c> the</c><00:30:12.220><c> waters.</c>

00:30:12.579 --> 00:30:14.720
That's<00:30:12.900><c> the</c><00:30:13.559><c> environment.</c>

00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:21.680
But<00:30:15.140><c> then</c><00:30:15.319><c> when</c><00:30:15.440><c> we</c><00:30:15.660><c> turn</c><00:30:16.000><c> to</c><00:30:16.299><c> verse</c><00:30:16.839><c> three,</c><00:30:21.039><c> the</c><00:30:21.279><c> first</c><00:30:21.539><c> thing</c>

00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:23.140
that<00:30:21.880><c> happens</c><00:30:22.160><c> is</c><00:30:22.359><c> it</c><00:30:22.480><c> moves</c><00:30:22.720><c> on</c><00:30:22.920><c> to</c>

00:30:23.140 --> 00:30:25.019
say,<00:30:24.299><c> and</c><00:30:24.339><c> God</c><00:30:24.740><c> said.</c>

00:30:25.420 --> 00:30:29.119
So<00:30:25.539><c> the</c><00:30:25.660><c> actual</c><00:30:25.859><c> creative</c><00:30:26.259><c> process</c><00:30:26.720><c> starts,</c><00:30:27.259><c> the</c><00:30:27.500><c> work</c><00:30:27.720><c> starts</c><00:30:28.220><c> on</c>

00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:29.859
verse<00:30:29.380><c> three.</c>

00:30:29.859 --> 00:30:30.720
That's<00:30:30.259><c> the</c><00:30:30.359><c> beginning.</c>

00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:35.259
And<00:30:31.240><c> it</c><00:30:31.440><c> starts</c><00:30:31.779><c> with,</c><00:30:32.720><c> and</c><00:30:32.720><c> God</c><00:30:33.059><c> said,</c><00:30:33.880><c> let</c><00:30:33.980><c> there</c><00:30:34.140><c> be</c><00:30:34.299><c> light.</c>

00:30:35.299 --> 00:30:38.519
Now,<00:30:36.279><c> there's</c><00:30:36.640><c> such</c><00:30:37.579><c> a</c><00:30:37.900><c> clue</c><00:30:38.019><c> there.</c>

00:30:38.779 --> 00:30:40.880
It's<00:30:39.019><c> so</c><00:30:39.220><c> broad</c><00:30:39.339><c> it</c><00:30:39.539><c> just</c><00:30:39.599><c> about</c><00:30:39.859><c> whacks</c><00:30:40.140><c> you</c><00:30:40.299><c> between</c><00:30:40.539><c> the</c><00:30:40.720><c> eyes.</c>

00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:42.759
Can<00:30:41.140><c> you</c><00:30:41.240><c> see</c><00:30:41.380><c> the</c><00:30:41.539><c> point</c><00:30:41.640><c> in</c><00:30:41.700><c> this</c><00:30:41.859><c> being,</c><00:30:42.160><c> mate?</c>

He<00:30:56.119><c> speaks.</c>

00:30:57.200 --> 00:30:57.799
God's<00:30:57.579><c> word.</c>

00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:01.039
That's<00:30:58.680><c> the</c><00:30:58.960><c> start</c><00:30:59.220><c> of</c><00:30:59.420><c> the</c><00:30:59.640><c> whole</c><00:30:59.900><c> process.</c>

00:31:01.079 --> 00:31:04.880
The<00:31:01.240><c> whole</c><00:31:01.579><c> creative</c><00:31:02.059><c> process</c><00:31:02.539><c> starts</c><00:31:03.079><c> with</c><00:31:03.559><c> the</c><00:31:03.819><c> voice</c><00:31:04.180><c> of</c><00:31:04.619><c> God.</c>

00:31:07.579 --> 00:31:09.920
The<00:31:07.779><c> creation</c><00:31:08.140><c> process</c><00:31:08.539><c> that</c><00:31:08.740><c> God's</c><00:31:08.980><c> working</c><00:31:09.259><c> out</c><00:31:09.420><c> with</c><00:31:09.579><c> us</c>

starts<00:31:10.259><c> with</c><00:31:10.640><c> the</c><00:31:10.960><c> voice</c><00:31:11.339><c> of</c><00:31:11.700><c> God.</c>

00:31:12.259 --> 00:31:14.720
And<00:31:12.440><c> it's</c><00:31:12.619><c> if</c><00:31:12.819><c> we</c><00:31:13.000><c> hear</c><00:31:13.140><c> the</c><00:31:13.339><c> voice</c><00:31:13.500><c> of</c><00:31:13.700><c> God,</c><00:31:14.180><c> then</c><00:31:14.359><c> the</c><00:31:14.559><c> next</c>

00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:15.980
things<00:31:14.980><c> will</c><00:31:15.200><c> actually</c><00:31:15.440><c> take</c><00:31:15.680><c> place.</c>

00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:17.680
What<00:31:16.400><c> does</c><00:31:16.559><c> the</c><00:31:16.759><c> voice</c><00:31:16.900><c> of</c><00:31:17.119><c> God</c><00:31:17.319><c> say?</c>

00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:21.980
He<00:31:18.160><c> says,</c><00:31:18.880><c> let</c><00:31:19.079><c> there</c><00:31:19.319><c> be</c><00:31:19.619><c> light,</c><00:31:20.200><c> and</c><00:31:20.500><c> there</c><00:31:20.759><c> was</c><00:31:21.039><c> light.</c>

00:31:22.660 --> 00:31:25.839
Now,<00:31:23.259><c> we</c><00:31:23.440><c> haven't</c><00:31:23.680><c> got</c><00:31:23.839><c> a</c><00:31:23.859><c> lot</c><00:31:24.079><c> of</c><00:31:24.299><c> time</c><00:31:24.619><c> to</c><00:31:24.819><c> go</c><00:31:25.119><c> through</c><00:31:25.500><c> all</c>

00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:27.039
this<00:31:26.160><c> in</c><00:31:26.440><c> detail,</c>

00:31:27.460 --> 00:31:32.559
but<00:31:28.000><c> I</c><00:31:28.140><c> want</c><00:31:28.339><c> us</c><00:31:28.500><c> just</c><00:31:28.660><c> to</c><00:31:28.839><c> pick</c><00:31:28.980><c> up</c><00:31:29.180><c> a</c><00:31:29.339><c> few</c><00:31:29.579><c> fundamental</c><00:31:30.160><c> principles</c><00:31:30.720><c> of</c><00:31:31.240><c> this</c><00:31:31.480><c> idea</c><00:31:31.880><c> of</c><00:31:32.140><c> light</c>

00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:36.259
as<00:31:33.220><c> the</c><00:31:33.500><c> beginning</c><00:31:33.859><c> of</c><00:31:34.359><c> all</c><00:31:34.619><c> of</c><00:31:34.819><c> God's</c><00:31:35.299><c> creation.</c>

00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:39.779
It<00:31:37.079><c> all</c><00:31:37.359><c> starts</c><00:31:37.740><c> with</c><00:31:38.079><c> the</c><00:31:38.299><c> word</c><00:31:38.700><c> of</c><00:31:38.980><c> God.</c>

00:31:40.420 --> 00:31:44.799
And<00:31:40.539><c> then</c><00:31:40.640><c> when</c><00:31:40.720><c> he</c><00:31:40.940><c> sees</c><00:31:41.240><c> the</c><00:31:41.579><c> light,</c><00:31:42.140><c> he</c><00:31:42.359><c> says</c><00:31:42.640><c> the</c><00:31:42.940><c> light</c><00:31:43.299><c> is</c><00:31:43.720><c> good.</c>

00:31:45.940 --> 00:31:48.440
It<00:31:46.140><c> says</c><00:31:46.259><c> he</c><00:31:46.519><c> saw</c><00:31:46.759><c> or</c><00:31:47.039><c> perceived</c><00:31:47.440><c> or</c><00:31:47.660><c> considered,</c><00:31:48.140><c> and</c><00:31:48.259><c> the</c>

00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:49.759
light<00:31:48.579><c> was</c><00:31:48.819><c> good.</c>

00:31:50.539 --> 00:31:53.319
Now,<00:31:51.019><c> I've</c><00:31:51.259><c> got</c><00:31:51.359><c> a</c><00:31:51.460><c> question</c><00:31:51.720><c> for</c><00:31:51.940><c> you.</c>

00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:57.880
If<00:31:54.039><c> you've</c><00:31:54.279><c> got</c><00:31:54.440><c> a</c><00:31:55.619><c> scene</c><00:31:55.880><c> that's</c><00:31:56.279><c> completely</c><00:31:56.680><c> black,</c>

00:31:58.599 --> 00:32:02.619
and<00:31:58.740><c> you</c><00:31:58.880><c> then</c><00:31:59.160><c> say,</c><00:31:59.500><c> let</c><00:31:59.779><c> there</c><00:31:59.980><c> be</c><00:32:00.220><c> light,</c><00:32:00.960><c> and</c><00:32:01.200><c> there</c><00:32:01.440><c> is</c><00:32:01.660><c> light,</c>

00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:06.859
it's<00:32:03.759><c> fairly</c><00:32:03.940><c> obvious</c><00:32:04.500><c> to</c><00:32:04.759><c> you,</c><00:32:05.059><c> I</c><00:32:05.220><c> would</c><00:32:05.420><c> have</c><00:32:05.500><c> thought,</c><00:32:05.859><c> that</c><00:32:06.079><c> light</c><00:32:06.420><c> and</c>

00:32:06.859 --> 00:32:08.640
dark<00:32:07.140><c> are</c><00:32:07.799><c> different.</c>

00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:12.259
It<00:32:09.420><c> was</c><00:32:09.859><c> dark,</c><00:32:10.220><c> and</c><00:32:10.460><c> you</c><00:32:10.640><c> said</c><00:32:10.799><c> light,</c><00:32:11.359><c> and</c><00:32:11.460><c> now</c><00:32:11.680><c> there</c><00:32:11.819><c> is</c><00:32:12.019><c> light.</c>

00:32:12.420 --> 00:32:14.380
You<00:32:12.619><c> go</c><00:32:12.779><c> into</c><00:32:13.000><c> a</c><00:32:13.119><c> room,</c><00:32:13.200><c> it's</c><00:32:13.380><c> dark,</c><00:32:13.740><c> you</c><00:32:13.859><c> flick</c><00:32:13.960><c> the</c><00:32:14.180><c> switch</c>

00:32:14.380 --> 00:32:15.980
on,<00:32:14.539><c> on</c><00:32:14.660><c> comes</c><00:32:14.900><c> the</c><00:32:15.079><c> light,</c><00:32:15.200><c> there</c><00:32:15.380><c> is</c><00:32:15.619><c> light.</c>

00:32:15.980 --> 00:32:20.799
But<00:32:16.819><c> the</c><00:32:16.980><c> record</c><00:32:17.200><c> goes</c><00:32:17.460><c> on</c><00:32:17.680><c> to</c><00:32:17.920><c> say,</c><00:32:19.940><c> verse</c><00:32:20.079><c> 4,</c>

00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:23.599
and<00:32:21.140><c> God</c><00:32:21.440><c> divided</c><00:32:22.299><c> the</c><00:32:22.660><c> light</c><00:32:22.859><c> from</c><00:32:23.059><c> the</c><00:32:23.279><c> darkness.</c>

00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:26.339
It<00:32:23.720><c> means</c><00:32:23.940><c> to</c><00:32:24.119><c> put</c><00:32:24.220><c> a</c><00:32:24.539><c> separation</c><00:32:25.019><c> between</c><00:32:25.440><c> them.</c>

00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:30.799
Now,<00:32:27.759><c> I</c><00:32:28.000><c> would</c><00:32:28.160><c> have</c><00:32:28.480><c> thought</c><00:32:28.839><c> that</c><00:32:29.140><c> you</c><00:32:29.279><c> didn't</c><00:32:29.440><c> need</c><00:32:29.599><c> to</c><00:32:29.779><c> do</c><00:32:29.940><c> that.</c>

00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:33.059
I<00:32:31.500><c> would</c><00:32:31.740><c> have</c><00:32:31.819><c> thought</c><00:32:31.920><c> that</c><00:32:32.140><c> automatically,</c><00:32:32.720><c> if</c><00:32:32.799><c> you</c><00:32:32.880><c> had</c>

00:32:33.059 --> 00:32:33.859
something<00:32:33.279><c> that</c><00:32:33.380><c> was</c><00:32:33.599><c> dark,</c>

00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:36.539
and<00:32:34.000><c> you</c><00:32:34.140><c> provided</c><00:32:34.519><c> light,</c><00:32:35.220><c> it</c><00:32:35.259><c> automatically</c><00:32:35.660><c> would</c><00:32:35.900><c> have</c><00:32:36.099><c> provided</c><00:32:36.319><c> a</c>

00:32:36.539 --> 00:32:38.059
difference<00:32:36.839><c> between</c><00:32:37.180><c> them.</c>

00:32:38.259 --> 00:32:39.559
But<00:32:38.500><c> God's</c><00:32:38.839><c> making</c><00:32:39.059><c> a</c><00:32:39.259><c> point.</c>

00:32:39.980 --> 00:32:43.880
He<00:32:40.160><c> says,</c><00:32:40.359><c> as</c><00:32:40.440><c> far</c><00:32:40.660><c> as</c><00:32:40.779><c> I'm</c><00:32:41.039><c> concerned,</c><00:32:41.940><c> there</c><00:32:42.140><c> is</c><00:32:42.359><c> a</c><00:32:42.660><c> separation</c><00:32:43.200><c> or</c><00:32:43.559><c> an</c>

00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:44.700
enormous<00:32:44.200><c> difference</c>

00:32:44.700 --> 00:32:48.259
between<00:32:45.059><c> the</c><00:32:45.240><c> subject</c><00:32:45.660><c> of</c><00:32:45.920><c> light</c><00:32:46.319><c> and</c><00:32:47.160><c> darkness.</c>

00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:51.259
And<00:32:48.859><c> this</c><00:32:49.059><c> first</c><00:32:49.400><c> day,</c><00:32:49.839><c> and</c><00:32:49.960><c> we're</c><00:32:50.079><c> only</c><00:32:50.220><c> going</c><00:32:50.319><c> to</c><00:32:50.400><c> have</c><00:32:50.519><c> a</c><00:32:50.680><c> few</c><00:32:50.779><c> moments</c><00:32:51.079><c> to</c>

00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:51.859
look<00:32:51.440><c> at</c><00:32:51.539><c> it,</c>

00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:56.119
but<00:32:52.119><c> this</c><00:32:52.359><c> first</c><00:32:52.720><c> day</c><00:32:53.059><c> embodies</c><00:32:53.500><c> some</c><00:32:53.940><c> very</c><00:32:54.519><c> powerful</c><00:32:55.099><c> principles.</c>

00:32:57.579 --> 00:33:00.440
Just<00:32:57.859><c> look</c><00:32:58.019><c> at</c><00:32:58.160><c> those</c><00:32:58.440><c> verses</c><00:32:58.819><c> and</c><00:32:59.079><c> see</c><00:32:59.279><c> what</c><00:32:59.619><c> really</c><00:33:00.000><c> basic</c>

00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:02.819
ideas<00:33:01.039><c> actually</c><00:33:01.519><c> come</c><00:33:01.779><c> out.</c>

00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:07.119
Number<00:33:03.660><c> one,</c><00:33:05.539><c> did</c><00:33:05.640><c> God</c><00:33:05.799><c> create</c><00:33:06.119><c> darkness?</c>

00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:10.339
No,<00:33:08.579><c> it</c><00:33:08.779><c> was</c><00:33:08.980><c> already</c><00:33:09.220><c> there.</c>

00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:13.339
Ah,<00:33:11.200><c> darkness</c><00:33:11.680><c> is</c><00:33:12.359><c> natural.</c>

00:33:14.220 --> 00:33:16.900
Unfortunately,<00:33:14.819><c> the</c><00:33:15.000><c> creation</c><00:33:15.299><c> process</c><00:33:15.640><c> starts</c><00:33:15.960><c> with</c><00:33:16.160><c> us</c><00:33:16.400><c> in</c>

00:33:16.900 --> 00:33:18.299
a<00:33:17.079><c> natural</c><00:33:17.420><c> state</c><00:33:17.720><c> of</c><00:33:17.940><c> darkness.</c>

00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:19.880
It's<00:33:18.660><c> already</c><00:33:18.940><c> there.</c>

00:33:20.420 --> 00:33:23.700
Now,<00:33:20.559><c> when</c><00:33:20.680><c> the</c><00:33:21.259><c> record</c><00:33:21.859><c> says,</c><00:33:22.299><c> and</c><00:33:22.299><c> God</c><00:33:22.539><c> saw</c><00:33:22.819><c> that</c><00:33:22.960><c> it</c><00:33:23.059><c> was</c><00:33:23.200><c> good,</c><00:33:23.359><c> what's</c><00:33:23.559><c> he</c>

00:33:23.700 --> 00:33:24.200
referring<00:33:23.980><c> to?</c>

00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:27.380
Darkness?<00:33:25.759><c> No,</c><00:33:26.039><c> only</c><00:33:26.319><c> the</c><00:33:26.539><c> light.</c>

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:30.200
So<00:33:27.880><c> we</c><00:33:27.980><c> say,</c><00:33:28.160><c> ah,</c><00:33:28.460><c> here</c><00:33:28.660><c> are</c><00:33:28.799><c> some</c><00:33:29.099><c> fundamental</c><00:33:29.799><c> principles</c>

00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:31.599

00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:33.619
It<00:33:32.220><c> starts</c><00:33:32.579><c> with</c><00:33:32.859><c> God's</c><00:33:33.359><c> Word.</c>

00:33:34.019 --> 00:33:38.200
Number<00:33:34.319><c> two,</c><00:33:34.519><c> before</c><00:33:34.839><c> it</c><00:33:35.119><c> starts,</c><00:33:35.460><c> we're</c><00:33:35.500><c> in</c><00:33:35.700><c> a</c><00:33:35.779><c> native</c><00:33:36.059><c> state,</c><00:33:36.480><c> a</c><00:33:36.660><c> natural</c><00:33:37.019><c> state</c><00:33:37.359><c> of</c><00:33:37.759><c> darkness.</c>

00:33:38.299 --> 00:33:39.940
It<00:33:38.460><c> was</c><00:33:38.880><c> already</c><00:33:39.500><c> there.</c>

00:33:39.940 --> 00:33:43.339
Darkness<00:33:40.640><c> doesn't</c><00:33:40.980><c> need,</c><00:33:41.339><c> unfortunately,</c><00:33:42.000><c> to</c><00:33:42.160><c> be</c><00:33:42.359><c> created.</c>

00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:47.220
But<00:33:43.599><c> when</c><00:33:43.940><c> light's</c><00:33:44.500><c> created,</c><00:33:45.859><c> God</c><00:33:46.059><c> looks</c><00:33:46.319><c> at</c><00:33:46.480><c> the</c><00:33:46.720><c> light</c><00:33:47.019><c> and</c>

00:33:47.220 --> 00:33:48.680
says,<00:33:48.000><c> ah,</c><00:33:48.000><c> light</c><00:33:48.200><c> is</c><00:33:48.460><c> good.</c>

00:33:48.859 --> 00:33:51.160
Not<00:33:49.059><c> darkness.</c><00:33:49.720><c> He</c><00:33:49.880><c> doesn't</c><00:33:50.119><c> say</c><00:33:50.400><c> that</c><00:33:50.559><c> about</c><00:33:50.779><c> darkness.</c>

00:33:51.259 --> 00:33:53.259
He<00:33:51.319><c> said,</c><00:33:51.799><c> light</c><00:33:51.940><c> is</c><00:33:52.460><c> good.</c>

00:33:53.660 --> 00:33:55.480
Now,<00:33:53.819><c> an</c><00:33:53.960><c> interesting</c><00:33:54.279><c> little</c><00:33:54.500><c> experiment.</c>

00:33:55.900 --> 00:34:01.440
If<00:33:55.900><c> you</c><00:33:56.519><c> were</c><00:33:57.400><c> in</c><00:33:57.539><c> a</c><00:33:57.640><c> really</c><00:33:58.000><c> dark</c><00:33:58.279><c> room</c><00:33:58.839><c> and</c><00:34:00.859><c> somebody</c><00:34:01.119><c> came</c>

00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:03.339
in<00:34:01.779><c> and</c><00:34:01.920><c> they</c><00:34:02.420><c> kindled</c><00:34:02.759><c> the</c><00:34:03.039><c> light,</c>

00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:05.980
is<00:34:03.819><c> the</c><00:34:03.960><c> room</c><00:34:04.079><c> still</c><00:34:04.319><c> dark?</c><00:34:05.000><c> No.</c>

00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:08.699
Say<00:34:06.420><c> we</c><00:34:06.559><c> were</c><00:34:06.680><c> in</c><00:34:06.819><c> a</c><00:34:06.960><c> complete</c><00:34:07.119><c> eclipse</c><00:34:07.460><c> and</c><00:34:07.619><c> it</c><00:34:07.680><c> was</c><00:34:07.980><c> midnight</c><00:34:08.280><c> here</c>

00:34:08.699 --> 00:34:10.980

00:34:12.579 --> 00:34:15.460
And<00:34:12.699><c> someone</c><00:34:12.860><c> came</c><00:34:13.139><c> in</c><00:34:13.300><c> here</c><00:34:13.420><c> and</c><00:34:14.019><c> they</c><00:34:14.199><c> lit</c><00:34:14.320><c> a</c><00:34:14.559><c> candle.</c>

00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:18.920
That<00:34:16.920><c> light</c><00:34:17.280><c> would</c><00:34:17.780><c> actually</c><00:34:18.099><c> shine.</c><00:34:18.320><c> You'd</c><00:34:18.519><c> be</c><00:34:18.579><c> able</c><00:34:18.699><c> to</c><00:34:18.800><c> see</c>

00:34:20.739 --> 00:34:23.079
If<00:34:20.840><c> they</c><00:34:21.019><c> turned</c><00:34:21.179><c> on</c><00:34:21.360><c> a</c><00:34:21.539><c> bright</c><00:34:21.679><c> light,</c><00:34:21.980><c> it</c><00:34:22.039><c> would</c><00:34:22.300><c> dispel</c><00:34:22.679><c> all</c>

00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:24.980

00:34:26.139 --> 00:34:27.840
Okay,<00:34:26.400><c> if</c><00:34:26.519><c> somebody</c><00:34:26.679><c> came</c><00:34:26.880><c> in</c><00:34:27.039><c> the</c><00:34:27.099><c> door</c><00:34:27.280><c> now</c><00:34:27.500><c> and</c><00:34:27.599><c> they</c><00:34:27.679><c> had</c><00:34:27.739><c> a</c>

00:34:31.739 --> 00:34:34.239
And<00:34:31.920><c> they</c><00:34:32.019><c> said,</c><00:34:32.159><c> oh,</c><00:34:32.320><c> I've</c><00:34:32.480><c> got</c><00:34:32.579><c> a</c><00:34:32.699><c> box</c><00:34:32.940><c> full</c><00:34:33.139><c> of</c><00:34:33.300><c> darkness.</c>

If<00:34:36.119><c> you</c><00:34:36.239><c> were</c><00:34:36.360><c> in</c><00:34:36.519><c> there,</c><00:34:36.619><c> it</c><00:34:36.679><c> would</c><00:34:36.780><c> be</c><00:34:36.920><c> pitch</c><00:34:37.099><c> black.</c><00:34:37.659><c> They've</c><00:34:37.880><c> got</c><00:34:37.960><c> a</c>

00:34:39.500 --> 00:34:41.119
And<00:34:39.659><c> you</c><00:34:39.719><c> come</c><00:34:39.860><c> in</c><00:34:39.980><c> the</c><00:34:40.059><c> middle</c><00:34:40.179><c> of</c><00:34:40.360><c> the</c><00:34:40.380><c> room</c><00:34:40.460><c> and</c><00:34:40.699><c> you</c><00:34:40.940><c> take</c>

00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:44.280
What<00:34:42.219><c> happens</c><00:34:42.480><c> to</c><00:34:42.659><c> the</c><00:34:42.800><c> darkness?</c><00:34:43.099><c> Does</c><00:34:43.199><c> it</c><00:34:43.360><c> fill</c><00:34:43.440><c> the</c><00:34:43.599><c> room?</c>

00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:47.099
So<00:34:45.500><c> what's</c><00:34:45.760><c> that</c><00:34:45.960><c> telling</c><00:34:46.099><c> us?</c>

It<00:34:47.739><c> tells</c><00:34:47.860><c> us</c><00:34:48.019><c> that</c><00:34:48.219><c> light</c><00:34:48.380><c> overcomes</c><00:34:48.820><c> darkness.</c>

You<00:34:51.119><c> know,</c><00:34:51.320><c> that's</c><00:34:51.639><c> a</c><00:34:51.780><c> golden</c><00:34:52.019><c> principle</c><00:34:52.400><c> to</c><00:34:52.619><c> hold</c><00:34:52.760><c> on</c><00:34:52.920><c> in</c><00:34:53.079><c> life.</c>

In<00:34:59.440><c> your</c><00:34:59.679><c> life,</c><00:35:00.800><c> the</c><00:35:00.960><c> light</c><00:35:01.139><c> will</c><00:35:01.440><c> overcome</c><00:35:01.699><c> darkness.</c>

00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:05.920
If<00:35:03.179><c> you</c><00:35:03.460><c> listen</c><00:35:03.739><c> to</c><00:35:03.960><c> God's</c><00:35:04.320><c> word,</c><00:35:04.599><c> if</c><00:35:04.760><c> you</c><00:35:05.000><c> allow</c><00:35:05.260><c> God's</c><00:35:05.739><c> word</c>

00:35:11.820 --> 00:35:14.039
You<00:35:11.820><c> know,</c><00:35:12.460><c> tragically,</c><00:35:12.780><c> you</c><00:35:12.900><c> can</c><00:35:13.159><c> actually</c><00:35:13.460><c> extinguish</c><00:35:13.920><c> a</c>

00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:22.400
Light<00:35:18.980><c> always</c><00:35:19.619><c> overcomes</c><00:35:20.159><c> darkness,</c><00:35:21.119><c> and</c><00:35:21.239><c> God</c><00:35:21.500><c> saw</c><00:35:21.739><c> the</c><00:35:21.940><c> light,</c><00:35:22.239><c> but</c>

00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:25.480
Now,<00:35:23.500><c> what</c><00:35:23.639><c> do</c><00:35:23.760><c> these</c><00:35:24.000><c> things</c><00:35:24.219><c> represent</c><00:35:24.719><c> to</c><00:35:24.920><c> us</c><00:35:25.019><c> in</c><00:35:25.199><c> Scripture?</c>

00:35:25.739 --> 00:35:27.500

00:38:14.940 --> 00:38:15.519
our<00:38:15.179><c> minds.</c>

00:38:15.739 --> 00:38:18.820
And<00:38:15.880><c> if</c><00:38:16.000><c> we</c><00:38:16.159><c> do,</c><00:38:16.440><c> the</c><00:38:16.619><c> creative</c><00:38:16.860><c> process</c><00:38:17.320><c> gets</c><00:38:17.659><c> underway.</c>

00:38:21.099 --> 00:38:24.860
So<00:38:21.300><c> Paul</c><00:38:21.559><c> says,</c><00:38:23.000><c> walk</c><00:38:23.000><c> as</c><00:38:23.840><c> children</c><00:38:24.380><c> of</c><00:38:24.780><c> light.</c>

00:38:24.940 --> 00:38:26.519
That's<00:38:25.199><c> where</c><00:38:25.340><c> we</c><00:38:25.539><c> belong.</c>

00:38:26.840 --> 00:38:28.519
Interesting<00:38:27.159><c> little</c><00:38:27.400><c> phrase,</c><00:38:27.739><c> by</c><00:38:27.880><c> the</c><00:38:28.000><c> way.</c>

00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:30.920
Walk<00:38:28.920><c> as</c><00:38:29.300><c> children</c><00:38:29.800><c> of</c><00:38:30.139><c> light.</c>

00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:33.420
You<00:38:31.320><c> know</c><00:38:31.400><c> how</c><00:38:31.519><c> God's</c><00:38:31.940><c> described</c><00:38:32.239><c> in</c><00:38:32.440><c> James?</c>

00:38:34.300 --> 00:38:38.679
He's<00:38:34.659><c> described</c><00:38:35.000><c> as</c><00:38:35.320><c> the</c><00:38:36.559><c> father</c><00:38:37.119><c> of</c><00:38:37.820><c> lights.</c>

00:38:39.300 --> 00:38:41.460
So<00:38:39.820><c> here's</c><00:38:40.199><c> God</c><00:38:40.380><c> as</c><00:38:40.519><c> a</c><00:38:40.780><c> father</c><00:38:41.059><c> of</c><00:38:41.260><c> lights,</c>

00:38:41.460 --> 00:38:43.860
and<00:38:41.619><c> we're</c><00:38:41.780><c> described</c><00:38:42.099><c> as</c><00:38:42.300><c> being</c><00:38:42.480><c> the</c><00:38:42.719><c> children</c><00:38:43.159><c> of</c><00:38:43.579><c> light.</c>

00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:47.500
So<00:38:44.340><c> he</c><00:38:44.519><c> says,</c><00:38:45.800><c> don't</c><00:38:45.820><c> have</c><00:38:46.099><c> fellowship</c><00:38:46.539><c> with</c><00:38:46.820><c> the</c><00:38:46.980><c> unfruitful</c>

00:38:47.500 --> 00:38:48.920
works<00:38:47.719><c> of</c><00:38:47.960><c> darkness,</c>

00:38:49.099 --> 00:38:51.179
but<00:38:49.300><c> walk</c><00:38:49.559><c> as</c><00:38:49.739><c> children</c><00:38:50.019><c> of</c><00:38:50.260><c> light.</c>

00:38:51.460 --> 00:38:53.699
1<00:38:51.639><c> Thessalonians</c><00:38:52.280><c> 5,</c><00:38:52.519><c> he</c><00:38:52.679><c> said,</c><00:38:52.820><c> you're</c><00:38:53.019><c> the</c><00:38:53.219><c> children</c><00:38:53.519><c> of</c>

00:38:53.699 --> 00:38:54.260
the<00:38:53.880><c> day,</c>

00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:56.400
not<00:38:54.699><c> the</c><00:38:54.980><c> children</c><00:38:55.280><c> of</c><00:38:55.460><c> the</c><00:38:55.619><c> night.</c>

00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:58.860
Don't<00:38:57.360><c> start</c><00:38:57.679><c> reading</c><00:38:58.039><c> Genesis</c><00:38:58.420><c> 1</c>

00:38:58.860 --> 00:39:02.099
and<00:38:59.159><c> go</c><00:38:59.380><c> through</c><00:38:59.559><c> the</c><00:38:59.800><c> glorious</c><00:39:00.159><c> creation</c><00:39:00.579><c> process</c><00:39:01.179><c> of</c><00:39:01.579><c> day</c><00:39:01.820><c> one,</c>

00:39:02.260 --> 00:39:04.159
and<00:39:02.460><c> then</c><00:39:02.679><c> instead</c><00:39:02.920><c> of</c><00:39:03.079><c> moving</c><00:39:03.280><c> on,</c><00:39:03.559><c> go</c><00:39:03.760><c> backwards.</c>

00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:07.980
Don't<00:39:05.320><c> try</c><00:39:05.579><c> and</c><00:39:05.800><c> undo</c><00:39:06.019><c> the</c><00:39:06.300><c> creation</c><00:39:06.699><c> process.</c>

00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:11.619
Allow<00:39:08.440><c> our</c><00:39:08.780><c> minds</c><00:39:09.199><c> to</c><00:39:09.380><c> be</c><00:39:09.659><c> absorbing</c><00:39:10.280><c> God's</c><00:39:11.519><c> word.</c>

00:39:11.739 --> 00:39:14.400
Allow<00:39:12.039><c> that</c><00:39:12.400><c> light</c><00:39:12.619><c> to</c><00:39:12.860><c> shine</c><00:39:13.059><c> forth</c><00:39:13.380><c> in</c><00:39:13.599><c> power.</c>

00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:16.940
And<00:39:15.099><c> look</c><00:39:15.199><c> at</c><00:39:15.300><c> that</c><00:39:15.559><c> warning</c><00:39:15.820><c> of</c><00:39:16.059><c> Isaiah</c><00:39:16.400><c> 5.</c>

00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:20.760
Woe<00:39:17.260><c> to</c><00:39:17.440><c> them</c><00:39:17.940><c> that</c><00:39:18.800><c> call</c><00:39:19.059><c> evil</c><00:39:19.460><c> good</c><00:39:19.719><c> and</c><00:39:20.019><c> good</c><00:39:20.340><c> evil,</c>

00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:25.579
that<00:39:21.260><c> put</c><00:39:21.519><c> darkness</c><00:39:22.139><c> for</c><00:39:22.579><c> light</c><00:39:23.019><c> and</c><00:39:23.760><c> light</c><00:39:24.219><c> for</c><00:39:24.599><c> darkness.</c>

00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:29.340
Those<00:39:26.260><c> are</c><00:39:26.480><c> the</c><00:39:26.699><c> principles</c><00:39:27.119><c> that</c><00:39:27.360><c> are</c><00:39:27.639><c> embodied</c><00:39:28.059><c> in</c><00:39:28.739><c> day</c><00:39:29.059><c> one</c>

00:39:29.340 --> 00:39:31.500
of<00:39:29.699><c> the</c><00:39:29.960><c> creation</c><00:39:30.320><c> process.</c>

00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:41.360
Okay,<00:39:39.079><c> I</c><00:39:39.280><c> think</c><00:39:39.539><c> we've</c><00:39:39.840><c> covered</c><00:39:40.000><c> most</c><00:39:40.320><c> of</c><00:39:40.460><c> the</c><00:39:40.579><c> points.</c>

00:39:41.699 --> 00:39:44.539
So<00:39:41.820><c> what</c><00:39:41.920><c> I</c><00:39:42.099><c> basically</c><00:39:42.380><c> want</c><00:39:42.539><c> to</c><00:39:42.699><c> do</c><00:39:42.820><c> then</c><00:39:43.400><c> is</c><00:39:43.960><c> go</c><00:39:44.159><c> back</c><00:39:44.320><c> and</c><00:39:44.420><c> do</c>

00:39:44.539 --> 00:39:45.539
a<00:39:44.619><c> brief</c><00:39:44.760><c> recap.</c>

00:39:45.659 --> 00:39:47.179
What<00:39:45.800><c> are</c><00:39:45.900><c> we</c><00:39:46.059><c> saying</c><00:39:46.239><c> here?</c>

00:39:47.219 --> 00:39:48.780
We're<00:39:47.579><c> saying</c><00:39:47.699><c> that</c><00:39:47.880><c> now</c><00:39:48.059><c> you've</c><00:39:48.260><c> got</c><00:39:48.380><c> a</c><00:39:48.559><c> key,</c>

00:39:49.059 --> 00:39:51.599
and<00:39:49.380><c> it's</c><00:39:49.579><c> going</c><00:39:49.659><c> to</c><00:39:49.800><c> help</c><00:39:49.880><c> you</c><00:39:50.139><c> understand</c><00:39:50.719><c> Genesis</c><00:39:51.159><c> 1</c>

00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:54.059
in<00:39:52.260><c> a</c><00:39:52.460><c> way</c><00:39:52.579><c> that</c><00:39:52.739><c> you've</c><00:39:52.960><c> never</c><00:39:53.179><c> understood</c><00:39:53.599><c> it</c><00:39:53.800><c> before.</c>

00:39:54.420 --> 00:39:56.260
This<00:39:54.719><c> is</c><00:39:54.980><c> not</c><00:39:55.159><c> a</c><00:39:55.519><c> science</c><00:39:55.880><c> lesson.</c>

00:39:56.659 --> 00:39:58.420
This<00:39:56.820><c> is</c><00:39:57.019><c> not</c><00:39:57.159><c> a</c><00:39:57.179><c> bit</c><00:39:57.440><c> of</c><00:39:57.539><c> scriptural</c><00:39:57.960><c> theology</c>

00:39:58.420 --> 00:40:02.119
that<00:39:58.659><c> just</c><00:39:58.960><c> tells</c><00:39:59.159><c> us</c><00:39:59.619><c> the</c><00:39:59.940><c> structure</c><00:40:00.340><c> of</c><00:40:00.559><c> the</c><00:40:00.760><c> creative</c><00:40:01.019><c> process.</c>

00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:06.719
It's<00:40:02.679><c> a</c><00:40:02.780><c> divine</c><00:40:03.460><c> theme</c><00:40:04.019><c> of</c><00:40:04.659><c> the</c><00:40:04.880><c> creative</c><00:40:05.340><c> power</c><00:40:05.820><c> of</c><00:40:06.079><c> God</c><00:40:06.179><c> at</c><00:40:06.380><c> work,</c>

00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:09.199
and<00:40:07.219><c> that's</c><00:40:07.460><c> what</c><00:40:07.559><c> he</c><00:40:07.639><c> wants</c><00:40:07.880><c> to</c><00:40:08.079><c> do,</c><00:40:08.300><c> God</c><00:40:08.460><c> willing,</c><00:40:08.960><c> with</c><00:40:09.059><c> you</c>

00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:10.340
and<00:40:09.340><c> me.</c>

00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:12.219
Thanks,<00:40:11.420><c> Luke.</c>
