00:05:04.620 --> 00:05:09.899
We<00:05:05.180><c> should</c><00:05:05.360><c> live</c><00:05:05.959><c> with</c><00:05:06.860><c> self</c><00:05:07.139><c>-control,</c><00:05:08.600><c> with</c><00:05:08.939><c> faith,</c>

So<00:05:25.980><c> with</c><00:05:26.100><c> that</c><00:05:26.220><c> as</c><00:05:26.379><c> a</c><00:05:26.480><c> bit</c><00:05:26.600><c> of</c><00:05:26.759><c> an</c><00:05:26.939><c> introduction,</c>

00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:31.540
I'd<00:05:27.500><c> like</c><00:05:27.579><c> to</c><00:05:27.759><c> ask</c><00:05:27.959><c> you</c><00:05:28.500><c> a</c><00:05:28.779><c> question</c><00:05:29.240><c> similar</c><00:05:31.019><c> to</c><00:05:31.199><c> the</c><00:05:31.339><c> question</c>

00:05:31.540 --> 00:05:32.379
that<00:05:31.639><c> we</c><00:05:31.819><c> asked</c><00:05:31.980><c> yesterday.</c>

00:05:32.459 --> 00:05:33.420
Do<00:05:32.579><c> you</c><00:05:32.579><c> remember</c><00:05:32.699><c> the</c><00:05:32.879><c> question</c><00:05:33.120><c> that</c><00:05:33.259><c> we</c>

00:05:33.420 --> 00:05:37.040
asked<00:05:33.879><c> when</c><00:05:34.360><c> we</c><00:05:34.639><c> thought</c><00:05:34.779><c> about</c><00:05:35.040><c> what</c><00:05:35.199><c> it</c><00:05:35.339><c> would</c><00:05:35.480><c> be</c><00:05:35.680><c> like</c><00:05:35.879><c> to</c><00:05:36.139><c> receive</c>

00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:40.240
power<00:05:37.699><c> like</c><00:05:38.100><c> unto</c><00:05:38.360><c> the</c><00:05:38.620><c> angels,</c><00:05:39.339><c> the</c><00:05:39.560><c> immortal</c><00:05:39.860><c> nature</c>

like<00:05:40.480><c> unto</c><00:05:41.879><c> the</c><00:05:43.019><c> angels?</c>

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.240
The<00:05:44.399><c> question</c><00:05:44.639><c> we</c><00:05:44.860><c> asked</c><00:05:45.040><c> was,</c><00:05:45.819><c> if</c><00:05:45.920><c> you</c>

00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:51.680
had<00:05:46.459><c> any</c><00:05:46.860><c> superpower</c><00:05:47.480><c> in</c><00:05:47.699><c> the</c><00:05:47.860><c> world,</c><00:05:50.360><c> what</c><00:05:50.519><c> would</c><00:05:51.160><c> that</c><00:05:51.439><c> be</c>

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:52.839
and<00:05:51.839><c> what</c><00:05:51.980><c> would</c><00:05:52.120><c> you</c><00:05:52.259><c> do</c><00:05:52.360><c> with</c><00:05:52.519><c> it?</c>

00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:55.019
It's<00:05:53.459><c> a</c><00:05:53.540><c> question</c><00:05:53.759><c> that</c><00:05:53.899><c> I've</c><00:05:54.060><c> asked</c><00:05:54.160><c> my</c><00:05:54.319><c> grade</c><00:05:54.540><c> four</c><00:05:54.740><c> students</c>

00:05:55.019 --> 00:05:56.120
to<00:05:55.180><c> get</c><00:05:55.300><c> them</c><00:05:55.500><c> right.</c>

00:05:57.100 --> 00:06:00.860
I<00:05:57.540><c> actually</c><00:05:57.860><c> asked</c><00:05:58.100><c> that</c><00:05:58.259><c> down</c><00:05:58.600><c> in</c><00:05:58.959><c> Tobago</c><00:05:59.379><c> this</c><00:05:59.699><c> past</c><00:05:59.980><c> summer,</c>

00:06:01.259 --> 00:06:02.779
and<00:06:01.459><c> there</c><00:06:01.600><c> was</c><00:06:01.740><c> a</c><00:06:01.819><c> young</c><00:06:01.939><c> person</c><00:06:02.240><c> that</c><00:06:02.379><c> raised</c><00:06:02.519><c> his</c><00:06:02.680><c> hand.</c>

00:06:02.819 --> 00:06:04.540
He<00:06:02.819><c> was</c><00:06:02.939><c> like</c><00:06:03.079><c> eight</c><00:06:03.199><c> years</c><00:06:03.379><c> old,</c><00:06:03.519><c> put</c><00:06:03.639><c> his</c><00:06:03.860><c> hand</c><00:06:04.040><c> straight</c><00:06:04.339><c> up,</c>

00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:05.199
and<00:06:04.639><c> you</c><00:06:04.720><c> know</c><00:06:04.720><c> what</c><00:06:04.720><c> he</c><00:06:04.879><c> said?</c>

00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.480
He<00:06:06.120><c> said,</c><00:06:06.279><c> I</c><00:06:06.420><c> want</c><00:06:06.639><c> to</c><00:06:06.879><c> run</c><00:06:07.019><c> really</c><00:06:07.360><c> fast.</c>

00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.660
It<00:06:10.660><c> sounds</c><00:06:10.939><c> funny,</c><00:06:12.660><c> and</c><00:06:12.920><c> it's</c><00:06:13.100><c> interesting</c><00:06:13.379><c> to</c><00:06:13.560><c> hear</c>

00:06:13.660 --> 00:06:14.579
what<00:06:13.800><c> a</c><00:06:14.000><c> child</c><00:06:14.160><c> might</c><00:06:14.379><c> say.</c>

00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:16.319
But<00:06:14.839><c> can</c><00:06:14.980><c> you</c><00:06:15.120><c> think</c><00:06:15.279><c> of</c><00:06:15.439><c> any</c><00:06:15.660><c> time</c><00:06:15.800><c> in</c><00:06:15.980><c> scripture,</c>

00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:21.100
brothers<00:06:16.620><c> and</c><00:06:16.839><c> sisters,</c><00:06:19.459><c> where</c><00:06:19.720><c> it</c><00:06:19.899><c> was</c><00:06:20.199><c> that</c><00:06:20.459><c> somebody</c><00:06:20.779><c> was</c>

00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:24.500
equipped<00:06:21.519><c> to</c><00:06:22.019><c> run</c><00:06:23.060><c> super</c><00:06:24.060><c> fast?</c>

00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:25.319
Can<00:06:25.019><c> you</c><00:06:25.180><c> think?</c>

00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:25.759
Go<00:06:25.500><c> ahead.</c>

00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:34.459
Elijah,<00:06:26.740><c> when</c><00:06:26.939><c> he</c><00:06:27.319><c> was</c><00:06:27.699><c> meeting,</c><00:06:29.060><c> and</c><00:06:29.699><c> he</c><00:06:29.939><c> was</c><00:06:32.839><c> trying</c><00:06:33.500><c> to</c><00:06:33.759><c> be</c><00:06:34.040><c> prepared</c>

00:06:34.459 --> 00:06:37.019
to<00:06:34.839><c> get</c><00:06:35.120><c> to</c><00:06:35.379><c> Jerusalem,</c><00:06:36.180><c> this</c><00:06:36.519><c> president,</c>

00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:39.720
what<00:06:37.740><c> he</c><00:06:37.920><c> came</c><00:06:38.079><c> to</c><00:06:38.379><c> spread</c><00:06:38.740><c> the</c><00:06:38.959><c> truth?</c>

00:06:43.019 --> 00:06:44.779
I<00:06:43.540><c> think</c><00:06:43.680><c> you're</c><00:06:43.839><c> right.</c>

00:06:45.300 --> 00:06:48.620
I<00:06:45.300><c> think</c><00:06:45.680><c> I'm</c><00:06:47.000><c> not</c><00:06:47.240><c> sure</c><00:06:47.439><c> of</c><00:06:47.579><c> the</c><00:06:47.740><c> exact</c><00:06:47.920><c> one</c><00:06:48.079><c> you're</c><00:06:48.279><c> talking</c><00:06:48.500><c> about.</c>

00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:53.060
The<00:06:48.720><c> one</c><00:06:48.879><c> I'm</c><00:06:49.060><c> thinking</c><00:06:49.279><c> about,</c><00:06:49.519><c> maybe</c><00:06:50.240><c> I</c><00:06:50.360><c> can</c><00:06:51.199><c> think</c><00:06:52.519><c> this</c><00:06:52.779><c> through.</c>

00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.420
Do<00:06:53.579><c> you</c><00:06:53.720><c> remember</c><00:06:53.959><c> when</c><00:06:54.100><c> it</c><00:06:54.319><c> was</c><00:06:54.560><c> that</c><00:06:54.839><c> Elijah</c>

00:06:55.420 --> 00:06:57.480
was<00:06:55.740><c> that</c><00:06:55.879><c> the</c><00:06:55.959><c> one</c><00:06:56.040><c> you</c><00:06:56.139><c> were</c><00:06:56.220><c> thinking</c><00:06:56.399><c> of</c><00:06:56.579><c> ran</c><00:06:56.759><c> before</c><00:06:57.040><c> the</c><00:06:57.240><c> chariot?</c>

00:06:57.819 --> 00:06:58.800
That's<00:06:58.079><c> exactly</c><00:06:58.459><c> right.</c>

00:06:59.139 --> 00:07:00.800
That<00:06:59.500><c> happened</c><00:06:59.779><c> in</c><00:06:59.939><c> the</c><00:07:00.060><c> Bible.</c>

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:01.879
He's<00:07:01.339><c> two</c><00:07:01.500><c> for</c><00:07:01.699><c> two.</c>

00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.100
Do<00:07:02.060><c> you</c><00:07:02.120><c> realize</c><00:07:02.300><c> that?</c>

00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.339
Yesterday,<00:07:03.699><c> he</c><00:07:03.860><c> answered</c><00:07:04.040><c> a</c><00:07:04.180><c> question</c><00:07:04.500><c> too.</c>

00:07:05.779 --> 00:07:06.740
He<00:07:05.899><c> would</c><00:07:06.019><c> have</c><00:07:06.120><c> been</c><00:07:06.220><c> three</c><00:07:06.379><c> for</c><00:07:06.560><c> three,</c>

00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:08.300
but<00:07:06.879><c> I</c><00:07:07.040><c> actually</c><00:07:07.199><c> answered</c><00:07:07.439><c> one</c><00:07:07.620><c> before</c><00:07:08.019><c> I</c>

00:07:08.300 --> 00:07:09.139
was<00:07:08.420><c> able</c><00:07:08.560><c> to</c><00:07:08.680><c> call</c><00:07:08.879><c> on</c><00:07:09.000><c> him.</c>

00:07:09.620 --> 00:07:10.519
He's<00:07:09.879><c> two</c><00:07:10.019><c> for</c><00:07:10.220><c> two.</c>

00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:12.300
But<00:07:10.980><c> this</c><00:07:11.139><c> young</c><00:07:11.319><c> person</c><00:07:11.620><c> said</c><00:07:11.800><c> the</c><00:07:11.980><c> same</c><00:07:12.160><c> thing.</c>

00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.060
He<00:07:12.420><c> was</c><00:07:12.560><c> listening</c><00:07:12.759><c> to</c><00:07:12.879><c> the</c><00:07:13.060><c> class,</c><00:07:13.300><c> just</c><00:07:13.500><c> like</c><00:07:13.740><c> you.</c>

00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:16.060
He<00:07:14.560><c> would</c><00:07:14.699><c> have</c><00:07:14.800><c> been</c><00:07:14.860><c> a</c><00:07:14.939><c> bit</c><00:07:15.040><c> younger</c><00:07:15.259><c> than</c><00:07:15.399><c> you,</c><00:07:15.560><c> for</c><00:07:15.720><c> sure.</c>

00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:18.240
And<00:07:16.740><c> he</c><00:07:16.899><c> said,</c><00:07:17.040><c> I</c><00:07:17.060><c> wish</c><00:07:17.259><c> I</c><00:07:17.360><c> could</c><00:07:17.480><c> run</c><00:07:17.660><c> super</c><00:07:18.040><c> fast.</c>

00:07:18.379 --> 00:07:21.500
Well,<00:07:18.639><c> Elijah</c><00:07:18.959><c> ran</c><00:07:19.259><c> super</c><00:07:19.620><c> fast</c><00:07:19.980><c> in</c><00:07:20.379><c> front</c><00:07:20.699><c> of</c><00:07:20.899><c> the</c><00:07:21.160><c> chariot</c>

of<00:07:21.839><c> Ahab.</c>

00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:29.019
Now,<00:07:24.259><c> Ahab</c><00:07:24.339><c> probably</c><00:07:25.420><c> didn't</c><00:07:26.180><c> have</c><00:07:27.600><c> weak</c><00:07:27.959><c> horses.</c>

00:07:29.660 --> 00:07:32.899
And<00:07:29.800><c> actually,</c><00:07:31.720><c> what</c><00:07:31.860><c> we</c><00:07:32.040><c> know</c><00:07:32.199><c> about</c><00:07:32.500><c> Ahab,</c>

00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:34.759

which<00:07:35.220><c> is</c><00:07:35.439><c> always</c><00:07:35.800><c> to</c><00:07:35.980><c> be</c><00:07:36.180><c> taken</c><00:07:36.759><c> skeptically,</c>

00:07:38.459 --> 00:07:42.160
but<00:07:38.699><c> the</c><00:07:39.019><c> ancient</c><00:07:39.259><c> nations</c><00:07:39.660><c> that</c><00:07:40.860><c> ruled</c><00:07:41.079><c> at</c><00:07:41.279><c> the</c><00:07:41.480><c> time</c><00:07:41.680><c> of</c><00:07:41.879><c> Ahab,</c>

00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.720
and<00:07:47.500><c> Edom</c><00:07:47.680><c> and</c><00:07:47.819><c> Moab</c><00:07:48.139><c> in</c><00:07:48.720><c> the</c><00:07:48.779><c> east,</c><00:07:49.660><c> they</c><00:07:49.879><c> knew</c><00:07:50.079><c> about</c><00:07:50.379><c> Ahab.</c>

00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:51.240
And<00:07:50.879><c> you</c><00:07:50.939><c> know</c><00:07:51.079><c> what?</c>

00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.860
They<00:07:51.500><c> were</c><00:07:51.860><c> absolutely</c><00:07:52.899><c> terrified</c><00:07:54.019><c> of</c><00:07:54.220><c> him.</c>

00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:56.519
They<00:07:55.300><c> were</c><00:07:55.500><c> scared</c><00:07:55.620><c> of</c><00:07:55.839><c> Ahab.</c>

00:07:56.740 --> 00:07:59.120
He<00:07:56.959><c> was</c><00:07:57.139><c> known</c><00:07:57.300><c> as</c><00:07:57.439><c> a</c><00:07:57.759><c> great</c><00:07:58.160><c> military</c><00:07:58.879><c> king,</c>

00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:02.319
a<00:07:59.379><c> great</c><00:07:59.639><c> military</c><00:08:00.240><c> strategist,</c><00:08:00.720><c> just</c><00:08:00.899><c> like</c><00:08:01.040><c> his</c><00:08:01.199><c> dad,</c><00:08:01.639><c> Omri.</c>

00:08:03.180 --> 00:08:06.019
And<00:08:03.339><c> the</c><00:08:03.439><c> picture</c><00:08:03.639><c> the</c><00:08:03.759><c> Bible</c><00:08:04.040><c> paints</c><00:08:04.339><c> of</c><00:08:04.540><c> him</c>

00:08:06.019 --> 00:08:08.920
said<00:08:06.319><c> he</c><00:08:06.480><c> cries</c><00:08:06.759><c> on</c><00:08:06.899><c> his</c><00:08:07.120><c> bed</c><00:08:07.540><c> and</c><00:08:08.019><c> can't</c><00:08:08.240><c> eat</c>

00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:10.939
because<00:08:09.420><c> he</c><00:08:09.579><c> can't</c><00:08:09.740><c> get</c><00:08:09.920><c> a</c><00:08:10.019><c> vineyard.</c>

00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.060
But<00:08:11.199><c> the</c><00:08:11.339><c> Gentiles</c><00:08:11.720><c> were</c><00:08:11.959><c> afraid</c><00:08:12.160><c> of</c><00:08:12.319><c> him.</c>

00:08:13.459 --> 00:08:15.240
So<00:08:13.759><c> Ahab</c><00:08:14.060><c> would</c><00:08:14.220><c> have</c><00:08:14.420><c> had,</c><00:08:14.639><c> I</c><00:08:14.759><c> would</c><00:08:14.920><c> imagine,</c>

00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.740
probably<00:08:15.560><c> some</c><00:08:15.699><c> of</c><00:08:15.800><c> the</c><00:08:15.920><c> best</c><00:08:16.079><c> horses</c><00:08:16.339><c> around,</c><00:08:17.379><c> because</c><00:08:17.600><c> he</c>

00:08:17.740 --> 00:08:18.160
was<00:08:17.939><c> king.</c>

00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:23.360
Elijah,<00:08:19.860><c> Elijah,</c><00:08:21.939><c> beat</c><00:08:22.019><c> him.</c>

00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:27.319
He<00:08:24.459><c> made</c><00:08:24.579><c> Usain</c><00:08:25.000><c> Bolt</c><00:08:25.279><c> look</c><00:08:25.620><c> like</c><00:08:26.540><c> nothing,</c>

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:30.740
just<00:08:28.040><c> blazed</c><00:08:28.399><c> right</c><00:08:28.620><c> on</c><00:08:28.800><c> ahead</c><00:08:29.120><c> because</c><00:08:30.600><c> it</c>

00:08:30.740 --> 00:08:32.720
was<00:08:30.860><c> going</c><00:08:31.040><c> to</c><00:08:31.300><c> forward</c><00:08:31.480><c> the</c><00:08:31.660><c> purpose</c><00:08:31.939><c> of</c><00:08:32.139><c> God</c><00:08:32.240><c> at</c><00:08:32.419><c> that</c><00:08:32.559><c> time.</c>

00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:34.500
So<00:08:32.899><c> it's</c><00:08:33.059><c> OK</c><00:08:33.279><c> to</c><00:08:33.440><c> think</c><00:08:33.620><c> about</c><00:08:33.879><c> things</c><00:08:34.120><c> like</c><00:08:34.360><c> that</c>

00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:36.919
and<00:08:34.639><c> to</c><00:08:34.879><c> search</c><00:08:35.120><c> for</c><00:08:35.779><c> these</c><00:08:36.120><c> examples</c><00:08:36.440><c> in</c><00:08:36.659><c> scripture</c>

00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:38.980
where<00:08:37.080><c> people</c><00:08:37.320><c> do</c><00:08:37.500><c> these</c><00:08:37.700><c> incredible</c><00:08:38.120><c> things</c><00:08:38.440><c> because</c><00:08:38.700><c> God</c>

00:08:38.980 --> 00:08:39.659
has<00:08:39.259><c> empowered</c>

00:08:39.659 --> 00:08:42.620
them<00:08:39.860><c> through</c><00:08:40.039><c> his</c><00:08:40.320><c> spirit</c><00:08:40.700><c> to</c><00:08:41.179><c> do</c><00:08:41.340><c> them.</c>

00:08:43.500 --> 00:08:46.840
And<00:08:43.740><c> from</c><00:08:43.879><c> a</c><00:08:44.120><c> child,</c><00:08:44.399><c> we</c><00:08:44.500><c> can</c><00:08:44.620><c> be</c><00:08:44.879><c> interested</c><00:08:45.120><c> in</c><00:08:45.299><c> these</c><00:08:45.500><c> things.</c>

00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:49.799
But<00:08:48.179><c> I</c><00:08:48.279><c> want</c><00:08:48.500><c> to</c><00:08:48.740><c> ask</c><00:08:49.039><c> you</c><00:08:49.159><c> a</c><00:08:49.179><c> different</c><00:08:49.440><c> question,</c>

00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.240

00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:19.019

00:12:23.539 --> 00:12:25.279

00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:25.779
of<00:12:25.480><c> this</c>

00:12:25.779 --> 00:12:29.340
and<00:12:26.220><c> have</c><00:12:26.419><c> seen</c><00:12:26.600><c> their</c><00:12:26.879><c> villages</c><00:12:27.360><c> burned.</c>

00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:35.919
No<00:12:30.720><c> one</c><00:12:31.000><c> yet,</c><00:12:32.440><c> from</c><00:12:32.679><c> what</c><00:12:32.840><c> I</c><00:12:32.980><c> understand,</c><00:12:34.460><c> has</c><00:12:34.620><c> been</c><00:12:34.899><c> injured,</c>

00:12:36.379 --> 00:12:38.700
but<00:12:36.539><c> they</c><00:12:37.000><c> have</c><00:12:37.299><c> fled</c><00:12:37.460><c> into</c><00:12:37.659><c> the</c><00:12:37.860><c> bush,</c><00:12:38.580><c> which</c>

00:12:38.700 --> 00:12:42.240
is<00:12:38.879><c> where</c><00:12:39.059><c> they've</c><00:12:39.279><c> been</c><00:12:39.820><c> staying,</c><00:12:41.279><c> occasionally</c><00:12:41.620><c> coming</c><00:12:41.899><c> together</c>

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:43.620
to<00:12:42.440><c> break</c><00:12:42.639><c> bread.</c>

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:49.220
And<00:12:44.399><c> they're</c><00:12:44.779><c> in</c><00:12:45.039><c> fear</c><00:12:45.480><c> for</c><00:12:45.940><c> their</c><00:12:46.120><c> lives</c><00:12:46.700><c> with</c><00:12:48.120><c> their</c><00:12:48.320><c> families.</c>

00:12:51.980 --> 00:12:55.860
So<00:12:52.200><c> this</c><00:12:52.279><c> is</c><00:12:52.460><c> just</c><00:12:52.639><c> a</c><00:12:52.759><c> picture</c><00:12:53.320><c> of</c><00:12:54.620><c> one</c><00:12:54.940><c> of</c><00:12:55.080><c> the</c><00:12:55.559><c> villages.</c>

00:12:55.860 --> 00:12:58.820
This<00:12:56.139><c> is</c><00:12:56.220><c> before,</c><00:12:58.120><c> and</c><00:12:58.179><c> this</c><00:12:58.379><c> is</c><00:12:58.519><c> after,</c>

00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:02.039
one<00:12:59.019><c> of</c><00:12:59.139><c> the</c><00:12:59.320><c> burnings</c><00:13:00.740><c> that</c><00:13:01.019><c> had</c><00:13:01.259><c> taken</c><00:13:01.460><c> place</c><00:13:01.799><c> there.</c>

00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:03.120
And<00:13:02.200><c> it's</c><00:13:02.340><c> actually</c><00:13:02.600><c> something</c><00:13:02.820><c> that's</c>

00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.340
not<00:13:03.399><c> getting</c><00:13:03.639><c> a</c><00:13:03.740><c> whole</c><00:13:04.039><c> lot</c><00:13:04.379><c> of</c><00:13:04.779><c> press</c><00:13:04.940><c> in</c><00:13:05.059><c> the</c><00:13:05.159><c> media,</c>

00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:06.659
from<00:13:05.500><c> what</c><00:13:05.620><c> I</c><00:13:05.799><c> understand.</c>

00:13:07.100 --> 00:13:09.720
I<00:13:07.360><c> had</c><00:13:07.519><c> to</c><00:13:07.620><c> do</c><00:13:07.720><c> a</c><00:13:07.759><c> little</c><00:13:07.940><c> bit</c><00:13:08.080><c> of</c><00:13:08.179><c> digging</c><00:13:08.320><c> to</c><00:13:08.539><c> find</c><00:13:08.740><c> out</c>

00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:11.259
what's<00:13:10.279><c> been</c><00:13:10.460><c> happening.</c>

00:13:11.860 --> 00:13:13.639
Well,<00:13:12.019><c> I</c><00:13:12.039><c> just</c><00:13:12.179><c> want</c><00:13:12.279><c> to</c><00:13:12.379><c> read</c><00:13:12.480><c> you</c><00:13:12.639><c> a</c><00:13:12.679><c> little</c><00:13:12.899><c> bit</c><00:13:13.120><c> about</c><00:13:13.340><c> what's</c>

00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:14.899
going<00:13:13.779><c> on</c><00:13:14.000><c> there.</c>

00:13:15.460 --> 00:13:17.899
This<00:13:15.639><c> is</c><00:13:15.840><c> from</c><00:13:16.039><c> early</c><00:13:16.480><c> on</c><00:13:16.840><c> in</c><00:13:16.980><c> the</c><00:13:17.120><c> month,</c><00:13:17.460><c> this</c><00:13:17.700><c> month,</c>

in<00:13:18.080><c> September.</c>

00:13:19.379 --> 00:13:20.899
And<00:13:19.539><c> I</c><00:13:19.580><c> know</c><00:13:19.720><c> it's</c><00:13:20.000><c> small,</c><00:13:20.139><c> so</c><00:13:20.299><c> I'll</c><00:13:20.419><c> read</c><00:13:20.539><c> it</c><00:13:20.720><c> for</c><00:13:20.799><c> you.</c>

00:13:20.899 --> 00:13:26.600
It<00:13:20.980><c> says,</c><00:13:22.480><c> there</c><00:13:22.500><c> can</c><00:13:22.740><c> be</c><00:13:22.940><c> no</c><00:13:23.200><c> doubt</c><00:13:23.740><c> that</c><00:13:24.840><c> in</c><00:13:25.080><c> all</c><00:13:25.299><c> but</c><00:13:25.600><c> name,</c>

00:13:26.620 --> 00:13:29.220
civil<00:13:27.059><c> war</c><00:13:27.379><c> in</c><00:13:27.720><c> Cameroon</c><00:13:28.159><c> has</c><00:13:28.440><c> broken</c><00:13:28.700><c> out</c>

00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:31.580

00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.740
so<00:13:31.879><c> that</c><00:13:32.159><c> would</c><00:13:32.340><c> be</c><00:13:32.620><c> the</c><00:13:34.340><c> government</c><00:13:34.740><c> themselves,</c>

00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.559
So<00:13:39.659><c> they're</c><00:13:40.519><c> the</c><00:13:40.700><c> ones</c><00:13:40.879><c> who</c><00:13:41.100><c> want</c><00:13:41.220><c> to</c><00:13:41.559><c> essentially</c><00:13:42.000><c> secede</c>

00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:16.960

00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.279
That's<00:15:43.639><c> the</c><00:15:43.799><c> opportunity</c><00:15:44.360><c> that</c><00:15:44.580><c> we</c><00:15:44.940><c> are</c><00:15:45.200><c> afforded</c>

00:16:41.940 --> 00:16:43.460
It's<00:16:42.279><c> amazing.</c>

00:16:45.019 --> 00:16:46.539
Pretty<00:16:45.259><c> much</c><00:16:45.379><c> what</c><00:16:45.519><c> we're</c><00:16:45.720><c> given</c><00:16:45.879><c> in</c><00:16:46.059><c> the</c><00:16:46.279><c> Psalms,</c>

00:16:53.779 --> 00:16:56.279
They're<00:16:53.980><c> part</c><00:16:54.179><c> of</c><00:16:54.360><c> the</c><00:16:54.519><c> hymn</c><00:16:54.740><c> book</c><00:16:55.019><c> of</c><00:16:55.340><c> the</c><00:16:55.500><c> kingdom.</c>

00:17:10.539 --> 00:17:12.339
But<00:17:10.660><c> first,</c><00:17:10.859><c> let's</c><00:17:11.000><c> have</c><00:17:11.119><c> a</c><00:17:11.180><c> look</c><00:17:11.279><c> at</c><00:17:11.460><c> Psalm</c><00:17:11.779><c> nine.</c>

00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:21.779
He<00:17:18.119><c> has</c><00:17:18.420><c> prepared</c><00:17:19.119><c> his</c><00:17:19.859><c> throne</c><00:17:20.319><c> for</c><00:17:20.779><c> judgment</c>

00:17:37.700 --> 00:17:40.519
That's<00:17:38.019><c> Psalm</c><00:17:38.279><c> nine,</c><00:17:38.940><c> verses</c><00:17:39.200><c> seven</c><00:17:39.519><c> to</c><00:17:39.680><c> nine.</c>

00:19:25.019 --> 00:19:27.859
And<00:19:25.160><c> our</c><00:19:25.299><c> hearts</c><00:19:25.579><c> break</c><00:19:25.980><c> when</c><00:19:26.160><c> we</c><00:19:26.339><c> see</c><00:19:26.539><c> those</c><00:19:26.819><c> things.</c>

00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:29.980
And<00:19:28.319><c> God</c><00:19:28.500><c> has</c><00:19:28.740><c> no</c><00:19:28.980><c> pleasure</c><00:19:29.220><c> in</c><00:19:29.400><c> those</c><00:19:29.640><c> things,</c>

00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.599

00:19:45.819 --> 00:19:48.180
We'll<00:19:46.259><c> come</c><00:19:46.440><c> to</c><00:19:46.619><c> Psalm</c><00:19:46.819><c> 72</c><00:19:47.420><c> in</c><00:19:47.680><c> a</c><00:19:47.799><c> little</c><00:19:47.960><c> bit,</c>

00:19:57.059 --> 00:20:01.220

00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:06.519
Arise,<00:20:04.420><c> O</c><00:20:04.599><c> Yahweh,</c><00:20:05.059><c> let</c><00:20:05.220><c> not</c><00:20:05.640><c> man</c><00:20:06.000><c> prevail.</c>

00:20:06.859 --> 00:20:09.539
Let<00:20:07.039><c> the</c><00:20:07.319><c> nations</c><00:20:07.700><c> be</c><00:20:08.019><c> judged</c><00:20:08.440><c> in</c><00:20:09.000><c> thy</c><00:20:09.279><c> sight.</c>

00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:11.660
Put<00:20:09.859><c> them</c><00:20:10.160><c> in</c><00:20:10.480><c> fear,</c><00:20:11.000><c> O</c><00:20:11.200><c> Yahweh,</c>

00:20:11.900 --> 00:20:16.599
that<00:20:12.039><c> the</c><00:20:12.339><c> nations</c><00:20:12.759><c> may</c><00:20:13.079><c> know</c><00:20:13.339><c> themselves</c><00:20:13.920><c> to</c><00:20:14.319><c> be</c><00:20:14.859><c> but</c><00:20:15.539><c> men.</c>

00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:18.720
And<00:20:17.359><c> so</c><00:20:17.559><c> that</c><00:20:17.859><c> time</c><00:20:18.099><c> is</c><00:20:18.460><c> coming,</c>

00:20:18.819 --> 00:20:23.579
where<00:20:18.980><c> God</c><00:20:19.220><c> will</c><00:20:19.559><c> manifest</c><00:20:20.099><c> himself</c><00:20:20.920><c> in</c><00:20:22.359><c> a</c><00:20:22.519><c> multitude</c>

00:20:23.619 --> 00:20:25.940
who<00:20:23.940><c> are</c><00:20:24.160><c> going</c><00:20:24.359><c> to</c><00:20:24.859><c> put</c><00:20:25.019><c> the</c><00:20:25.200><c> nations</c><00:20:25.500><c> in</c><00:20:25.819><c> fear.</c>

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:27.700
Now,<00:20:26.119><c> do</c><00:20:26.240><c> you</c><00:20:26.240><c> think</c><00:20:26.400><c> God</c><00:20:26.640><c> just</c><00:20:26.880><c> wants</c><00:20:27.039><c> to</c><00:20:27.180><c> put</c><00:20:27.279><c> the</c><00:20:27.500><c> nations</c>

00:20:27.700 --> 00:20:28.079
in<00:20:27.900><c> fear,</c>

00:20:28.099 --> 00:20:29.579
to<00:20:28.259><c> put</c><00:20:28.420><c> them</c><00:20:28.539><c> in</c><00:20:28.759><c> fear?</c>

00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:34.319
I<00:20:31.759><c> hope</c><00:20:31.940><c> you</c><00:20:32.039><c> don't</c><00:20:32.180><c> think</c><00:20:32.400><c> that</c><00:20:32.619><c> after</c><00:20:33.440><c> yesterday's</c><00:20:34.140><c> class.</c>

00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:36.099
It's<00:20:34.740><c> not</c><00:20:34.980><c> just</c><00:20:35.180><c> to</c><00:20:35.420><c> keep</c><00:20:35.559><c> them</c><00:20:35.740><c> in</c><00:20:35.960><c> fear,</c>

00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.200
it's<00:20:36.299><c> so</c><00:20:36.420><c> that</c><00:20:36.519><c> they</c><00:20:36.700><c> turn</c><00:20:36.920><c> around</c><00:20:37.259><c> and</c><00:20:37.480><c> say,</c>

00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:41.079
I<00:20:38.880><c> wanna</c><00:20:39.119><c> join</c><00:20:39.440><c> myself</c><00:20:39.900><c> to</c><00:20:40.079><c> that</c><00:20:40.279><c> God.</c>

00:20:41.700 --> 00:20:43.460
After<00:20:42.000><c> the</c><00:20:42.299><c> pattern</c><00:20:42.660><c> of</c><00:20:43.039><c> Rahab,</c>

00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:46.259
who<00:20:43.740><c> heard</c><00:20:43.940><c> about</c><00:20:44.140><c> the</c><00:20:44.420><c> judgments</c><00:20:44.740><c> of</c><00:20:45.000><c> God</c><00:20:45.160><c> in</c><00:20:45.299><c> the</c><00:20:45.500><c> earth,</c>

00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:50.839
and<00:20:46.880><c> said</c><00:20:47.200><c> to</c><00:20:47.380><c> the</c><00:20:47.619><c> spies,</c><00:20:49.180><c> please</c><00:20:49.220><c> save</c><00:20:49.559><c> my</c><00:20:49.839><c> house.</c>

00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:53.220
That's<00:20:51.799><c> what</c><00:20:51.960><c> God</c><00:20:52.279><c> wants</c><00:20:52.660><c> to</c><00:20:52.900><c> do</c>

00:20:53.220 --> 00:20:55.059
with<00:20:53.759><c> all</c><00:20:54.059><c> the</c><00:20:54.259><c> people</c><00:20:54.440><c> in</c><00:20:54.599><c> the</c><00:20:54.759><c> world,</c>

00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:56.880
if<00:20:55.380><c> they</c><00:20:55.619><c> would</c><00:20:55.799><c> but</c><00:20:56.039><c> listen.</c>

00:20:57.599 --> 00:20:59.039
But<00:20:57.779><c> there</c><00:20:57.980><c> will</c><00:20:58.200><c> be</c><00:20:58.359><c> wicked</c><00:20:58.599><c> nations</c>

00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:02.119
who<00:20:59.279><c> will</c><00:20:59.559><c> be</c><00:20:59.819><c> judged</c><00:21:00.240><c> in</c><00:21:01.019><c> that</c><00:21:01.240><c> day.</c>

00:21:02.299 --> 00:21:04.039
So<00:21:02.440><c> this</c><00:21:02.599><c> really</c><00:21:02.819><c> gets</c><00:21:03.019><c> down</c><00:21:03.220><c> to</c><00:21:03.339><c> the</c><00:21:03.480><c> crux</c><00:21:03.700><c> of</c><00:21:03.779><c> it,</c><00:21:03.920><c> right?</c>

00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:05.759
This<00:21:04.220><c> is</c><00:21:04.400><c> Isaiah</c><00:21:04.680><c> 26,</c><00:21:05.380><c> verse</c><00:21:05.559><c> nine.</c>

00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:08.920
If<00:21:05.900><c> this</c><00:21:06.079><c> is</c><00:21:06.240><c> not</c><00:21:06.440><c> a</c><00:21:07.400><c> verse</c><00:21:07.619><c> that</c><00:21:07.920><c> you</c><00:21:08.680><c> have</c>

00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:12.180
it<00:21:11.480><c> has</c><00:21:11.720><c> to</c><00:21:11.880><c> be</c><00:21:12.019><c> there.</c>

00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:15.160
This<00:21:12.680><c> is</c><00:21:12.940><c> a</c><00:21:13.000><c> verse</c><00:21:13.140><c> that</c><00:21:13.319><c> you</c><00:21:13.500><c> have</c><00:21:13.799><c> to</c><00:21:14.279><c> have</c><00:21:14.579><c> in</c><00:21:14.700><c> your</c><00:21:14.900><c> Bible</c>

00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.839
marked<00:21:15.720><c> because</c><00:21:17.220><c> it</c><00:21:17.660><c> illustrates</c><00:21:18.059><c> an</c><00:21:18.440><c> incredible</c><00:21:18.859><c> principle.</c>

00:21:20.579 --> 00:21:25.619
It<00:21:20.740><c> says,</c><00:21:21.339><c> for</c><00:21:21.400><c> when</c><00:21:21.880><c> thy</c><00:21:22.240><c> judgments</c><00:21:22.900><c> are</c><00:21:24.059><c> in</c><00:21:24.420><c> the</c><00:21:24.640><c> earth,</c>

00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:34.119
This<00:21:31.619><c> is</c><00:21:31.859><c> the</c><00:21:32.039><c> reason</c><00:21:32.319><c> for</c><00:21:32.539><c> the</c><00:21:32.720><c> judgments</c><00:21:32.940><c> of</c><00:21:33.279><c> God.</c>

00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:39.539
The<00:21:35.700><c> reason</c><00:21:35.940><c> is</c><00:21:36.099><c> so</c><00:21:36.200><c> that</c><00:21:36.400><c> people</c><00:21:36.619><c> will</c><00:21:37.019><c> look</c><00:21:37.619><c> and</c><00:21:38.359><c> see</c>

in<00:21:48.720><c> the</c><00:21:49.039><c> delivering</c><00:21:49.319><c> of</c><00:21:49.619><c> his</c><00:21:49.839><c> people</c><00:21:50.099><c> out</c><00:21:50.259><c> of</c><00:21:50.359><c> the</c><00:21:50.460><c> land</c><00:21:50.599><c> of</c><00:21:50.779><c> Egypt,</c>

00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:54.880
why<00:21:52.599><c> he</c><00:21:52.759><c> went</c><00:21:52.880><c> through</c><00:21:53.059><c> such</c><00:21:53.279><c> a</c><00:21:53.539><c> long</c><00:21:53.920><c> drawn</c><00:21:54.160><c> out</c><00:21:54.420><c> process?</c>

00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:56.579
Have<00:21:55.059><c> you</c><00:21:55.099><c> ever</c><00:21:55.240><c> wondered</c><00:21:55.380><c> about</c><00:21:55.640><c> that?</c>

10<00:21:58.380><c> plagues?</c>

00:22:00.619 --> 00:22:01.819
Why<00:22:00.859><c> didn't</c><00:22:00.960><c> you</c><00:22:01.059><c> just</c><00:22:01.299><c> save</c><00:22:01.460><c> the</c><00:22:01.680><c> time,</c>

00:22:06.339 --> 00:22:09.559
Because<00:22:06.819><c> God</c><00:22:07.299><c> is</c><00:22:08.220><c> patient</c>

00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:15.539

00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:17.960

00:22:25.900 --> 00:22:27.799
and<00:22:26.339><c> then</c><00:22:26.480><c> as</c><00:22:26.660><c> the</c><00:22:26.839><c> plagues</c><00:22:27.079><c> continued</c><00:22:27.539><c> on,</c>

00:22:27.940 --> 00:22:31.140
there<00:22:27.940><c> was</c><00:22:28.099><c> one</c><00:22:28.380><c> particular</c><00:22:28.799><c> one</c><00:22:29.279><c> where</c><00:22:30.319><c> it</c><00:22:30.500><c> was</c><00:22:30.819><c> promised</c>

00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:36.039
and<00:22:34.579><c> you</c><00:22:34.700><c> know</c><00:22:34.779><c> what</c><00:22:34.880><c> happened</c><00:22:35.059><c> after</c><00:22:35.279><c> that?</c>

00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:38.420
Some<00:22:36.700><c> of</c><00:22:36.819><c> the</c><00:22:36.980><c> Egyptians</c><00:22:37.319><c> said,</c>

00:22:41.299 --> 00:22:44.140
I<00:22:41.799><c> think</c><00:22:41.960><c> we're</c><00:22:42.119><c> gonna</c><00:22:42.259><c> bring</c><00:22:42.500><c> Bessie</c><00:22:42.900><c> in</c><00:22:43.000><c> from</c><00:22:43.180><c> the</c><00:22:43.380><c> pasture.</c>

00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:45.400
It<00:22:44.660><c> wouldn't</c><00:22:44.859><c> have</c><00:22:44.980><c> been</c><00:22:45.160><c> Bessie</c>

00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:47.920
because<00:22:45.660><c> they</c><00:22:47.180><c> didn't</c><00:22:47.420><c> have</c><00:22:47.680><c> cows</c>

00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:49.960

00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:54.980
But<00:22:51.039><c> they</c><00:22:51.299><c> brought</c><00:22:51.559><c> some</c><00:22:51.799><c> of</c><00:22:51.980><c> their</c><00:22:52.980><c> animals</c><00:22:53.480><c> inside</c>

00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:56.579

00:23:06.220 --> 00:23:08.299
because<00:23:06.480><c> they</c><00:23:06.720><c> wanted</c><00:23:06.839><c> to</c><00:23:07.019><c> go</c><00:23:07.160><c> with</c><00:23:07.339><c> them</c>

This<00:23:39.960><c> is</c><00:23:40.200><c> so</c><00:23:40.500><c> helpful.</c>

00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:43.819
You<00:23:42.039><c> know,</c><00:23:42.200><c> when</c><00:23:42.339><c> we</c><00:23:42.519><c> think</c><00:23:42.680><c> about,</c>

00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:49.480
This<00:23:47.920><c> is</c><00:23:48.119><c> something</c><00:23:48.259><c> I've</c><00:23:48.440><c> been</c><00:23:48.559><c> working</c><00:23:48.779><c> through</c><00:23:48.980><c> in</c><00:23:49.119><c> my</c><00:23:49.299><c> mind</c>

00:24:12.539 --> 00:24:14.839
In<00:24:13.200><c> Isaiah</c><00:24:13.400><c> 11,</c><00:24:13.619><c> does</c><00:24:13.740><c> anyone</c><00:24:13.880><c> remember?</c>

They<00:24:16.440><c> shall</c><00:24:16.660><c> not</c><00:24:16.980><c> hurt</c><00:24:17.839><c> nor</c><00:24:18.400><c> destroy</c>

only<00:24:30.799><c> ever</c><00:24:31.180><c> will</c><00:24:31.460><c> be</c><00:24:32.240><c> in</c><00:24:33.420><c> the</c><00:24:33.619><c> holy</c><00:24:33.799><c> mountain?</c>

00:24:35.630 --> 00:24:38.119
And<00:24:35.960><c> I</c><00:24:36.059><c> would</c><00:24:36.259><c> suggest</c><00:24:36.559><c> to</c><00:24:36.680><c> you,</c><00:24:36.940><c> brothers</c><00:24:36.980><c> and</c><00:24:37.200><c> sisters,</c>

00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:40.220
that<00:24:38.460><c> that's</c><00:24:38.759><c> not</c><00:24:38.960><c> what</c><00:24:39.099><c> that</c><00:24:39.319><c> means.</c>

00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:42.980
It<00:24:40.720><c> begins,</c><00:24:41.339><c> the</c><00:24:41.619><c> snapshot</c><00:24:42.039><c> that</c><00:24:42.299><c> we're</c><00:24:42.519><c> being</c><00:24:42.779><c> given</c>

00:24:42.980 --> 00:24:45.640
in<00:24:43.180><c> Isaiah</c><00:24:43.480><c> chapter</c><00:24:43.900><c> 11</c><00:24:44.299><c> is</c><00:24:44.900><c> the</c><00:24:45.140><c> beginning</c>

00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.099
of<00:24:46.180><c> the</c><00:24:46.480><c> effects</c><00:24:46.720><c> of</c><00:24:46.980><c> those</c><00:24:47.200><c> things.</c>

00:24:48.259 --> 00:24:50.880
But<00:24:48.440><c> there's</c><00:24:48.700><c> a</c><00:24:48.920><c> principle,</c><00:24:49.779><c> which</c><00:24:49.980><c> is</c><00:24:50.160><c> that</c><00:24:50.299><c> the</c><00:24:50.599><c> kingdom,</c>

00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:53.559
which<00:24:51.140><c> is</c><00:24:51.460><c> established,</c><00:24:51.859><c> that</c><00:24:52.039><c> little</c><00:24:52.400><c> stone</c><00:24:52.839><c> kingdom</c><00:24:53.200><c> there,</c>

00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:55.519
which<00:24:53.740><c> is</c><00:24:54.039><c> established</c><00:24:54.519><c> in</c><00:24:55.180><c> Judah</c>

00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:59.039
and<00:24:56.160><c> then</c><00:24:56.599><c> joined</c><00:24:57.140><c> up</c><00:24:57.339><c> with</c><00:24:57.519><c> Israel</c><00:24:57.900><c> when</c><00:24:58.059><c> they</c><00:24:58.299><c> return</c><00:24:58.599><c> back,</c>

00:24:59.539 --> 00:25:02.420
that<00:24:59.799><c> little</c><00:25:00.119><c> kingdom,</c><00:25:01.339><c> what</c><00:25:01.660><c> happens</c><00:25:01.960><c> to</c><00:25:02.160><c> it?</c>

00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:04.259
It<00:25:03.099><c> grows.</c>

00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:07.819
The<00:25:06.160><c> kingdom</c><00:25:06.599><c> grows,</c>

00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:11.279
and<00:25:08.480><c> the</c><00:25:08.779><c> effects</c><00:25:09.099><c> of</c><00:25:09.460><c> the</c><00:25:09.660><c> blessings</c><00:25:10.019><c> of</c><00:25:10.160><c> that</c><00:25:10.420><c> kingdom</c><00:25:10.740><c> grow</c>

00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:14.660
as<00:25:11.480><c> the</c><00:25:11.720><c> obedient</c><00:25:12.039><c> nations</c><00:25:12.700><c> come</c><00:25:13.119><c> up</c>

00:25:15.099 --> 00:25:19.140
and<00:25:15.619><c> receive</c><00:25:16.140><c> the</c><00:25:17.579><c> blessings</c><00:25:17.960><c> that</c><00:25:18.119><c> are</c><00:25:18.299><c> due</c><00:25:18.460><c> to</c><00:25:18.660><c> the</c><00:25:18.859><c> obedient,</c>

00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:21.440
the<00:25:19.539><c> blessing</c><00:25:19.740><c> that</c><00:25:19.940><c> God</c><00:25:20.160><c> has</c><00:25:20.420><c> reserved</c><00:25:20.779><c> for</c><00:25:21.000><c> the</c><00:25:21.200><c> obedient.</c>

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:22.980
So<00:25:21.700><c> here's</c><00:25:22.140><c> a</c><00:25:22.519><c> principle.</c>

00:25:23.140 --> 00:25:28.980
It<00:25:23.299><c> says</c><00:25:24.279><c> that</c><00:25:26.000><c> God</c><00:25:26.380><c> shall</c><00:25:26.680><c> cause</c><00:25:27.180><c> them</c><00:25:27.539><c> that</c><00:25:27.900><c> come</c><00:25:28.220><c> of</c><00:25:28.500><c> Jacob</c>

00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:31.920
to<00:25:29.980><c> take</c><00:25:30.420><c> root,</c><00:25:30.799><c> because</c><00:25:31.039><c> he's</c><00:25:31.240><c> going</c><00:25:31.339><c> to</c><00:25:31.460><c> bring</c><00:25:31.539><c> them</c><00:25:31.680><c> back</c>

00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:33.740
into<00:25:32.099><c> the</c><00:25:32.279><c> land,</c><00:25:32.519><c> he's</c><00:25:32.599><c> going</c><00:25:32.759><c> to</c><00:25:33.019><c> plant</c><00:25:33.240><c> them</c><00:25:33.460><c> there</c>

00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:35.359
in<00:25:34.140><c> Israel</c><00:25:34.680><c> again.</c>

00:25:35.819 --> 00:25:38.640
Scattered<00:25:36.200><c> Israel</c><00:25:37.299><c> will</c><00:25:37.619><c> return.</c>

00:25:39.140 --> 00:25:42.000
He<00:25:39.220><c> shall</c><00:25:39.440><c> cause</c><00:25:39.799><c> them</c><00:25:40.039><c> of</c><00:25:40.400><c> Jacob</c><00:25:40.740><c> to</c><00:25:41.019><c> take</c><00:25:41.240><c> root.</c>

00:25:42.140 --> 00:25:44.900
Israel<00:25:42.640><c> shall</c><00:25:43.059><c> blossom</c><00:25:43.779><c> and</c><00:25:44.599><c> bud</c>

00:25:44.900 --> 00:25:48.500
and<00:25:45.519><c> fill</c><00:25:45.819><c> the</c><00:25:46.119><c> face</c><00:25:46.359><c> of</c><00:25:46.599><c> the</c><00:25:46.920><c> world</c><00:25:47.240><c> with</c><00:25:47.640><c> fruit.</c>

00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:52.319
And<00:25:49.859><c> so</c><00:25:49.960><c> what</c><00:25:50.140><c> begins</c><00:25:50.539><c> in</c><00:25:50.740><c> the</c><00:25:50.859><c> land</c><00:25:51.039><c> of</c><00:25:51.359><c> Israel</c>

00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:57.140
explodes<00:25:53.660><c> out</c><00:25:55.019><c> in</c><00:25:55.859><c> fruitfulness</c><00:25:56.299><c> throughout</c><00:25:56.619><c> the</c><00:25:56.880><c> rest</c>

00:25:57.140 --> 00:26:02.980
of<00:25:57.339><c> the</c><00:25:57.500><c> world</c><00:25:58.039><c> until</c><00:25:58.619><c> the</c><00:25:59.019><c> glory</c><00:25:59.380><c> of</c><00:25:59.819><c> Yahweh</c><00:26:01.160><c> fills</c><00:26:01.799><c> the</c><00:26:02.119><c> earth.</c>

00:26:04.420 --> 00:26:06.000
That's<00:26:05.019><c> the</c><00:26:05.220><c> story</c><00:26:05.460><c> of</c><00:26:05.640><c> the</c><00:26:05.799><c> kingdom.</c>

00:26:06.140 --> 00:26:08.140
And<00:26:06.200><c> so</c><00:26:06.279><c> when</c><00:26:06.440><c> we</c><00:26:06.559><c> look</c><00:26:06.680><c> at</c><00:26:06.779><c> those</c><00:26:07.240><c> amazing</c><00:26:07.799><c> blessings</c>

00:26:08.140 --> 00:26:10.200
which<00:26:08.460><c> begin</c><00:26:08.759><c> there</c><00:26:08.960><c> in</c><00:26:09.099><c> the</c><00:26:09.299><c> land,</c>

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:14.240
it's<00:26:11.279><c> no</c><00:26:11.500><c> great</c><00:26:11.799><c> leap</c><00:26:12.160><c> to</c><00:26:12.579><c> infer</c><00:26:13.099><c> that</c><00:26:13.759><c> these</c><00:26:14.039><c> things</c>

00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:16.940
are<00:26:14.480><c> going</c><00:26:14.660><c> to</c><00:26:14.839><c> go</c><00:26:15.019><c> outside</c><00:26:15.400><c> the</c><00:26:15.720><c> boundaries</c><00:26:16.099><c> of</c><00:26:16.319><c> that</c><00:26:16.579><c> kingdom</c>

00:26:16.940 --> 00:26:22.519
as<00:26:17.519><c> the</c><00:26:17.759><c> kingdom</c><00:26:18.000><c> progresses</c><00:26:18.619><c> in</c><00:26:20.039><c> its</c><00:26:20.259><c> growth</c><00:26:20.700><c> and</c><00:26:21.460><c> its</c><00:26:21.759><c> dominion.</c>

00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.859
And<00:26:23.099><c> so</c><00:26:23.200><c> there</c><00:26:23.359><c> will</c><00:26:23.539><c> be</c><00:26:23.799><c> blessings</c><00:26:24.480><c> for</c><00:26:25.299><c> Israel's</c><00:26:26.019><c> land,</c>

00:26:27.140 --> 00:26:31.079
but<00:26:27.599><c> there</c><00:26:27.779><c> will</c><00:26:27.980><c> also</c><00:26:28.259><c> be</c><00:26:28.579><c> blessings</c><00:26:29.099><c> for</c><00:26:29.559><c> all</c><00:26:30.019><c> obedient</c><00:26:30.640><c> nations</c>

00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:34.579
because<00:26:31.480><c> they're</c><00:26:32.019><c> going</c><00:26:32.180><c> to</c><00:26:32.339><c> be</c><00:26:32.680><c> blessed</c><00:26:33.079><c> in</c><00:26:33.420><c> Israel.</c>

00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:37.619
It's<00:26:35.680><c> the</c><00:26:35.819><c> hope</c><00:26:35.940><c> of</c><00:26:36.119><c> the</c><00:26:36.259><c> whole</c><00:26:36.460><c> world,</c>

00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:40.220
even<00:26:37.819><c> though</c><00:26:37.980><c> the</c><00:26:38.140><c> whole</c><00:26:38.339><c> world</c><00:26:38.500><c> does</c><00:26:38.720><c> not</c><00:26:38.859><c> know</c><00:26:38.960><c> it</c><00:26:39.160><c> yet.</c>

00:26:42.660 --> 00:26:47.740
Now<00:26:42.859><c> Psalm</c><00:26:43.059><c> 67,</c><00:26:45.339><c> maybe</c><00:26:45.779><c> just</c><00:26:46.019><c> turn</c><00:26:46.160><c> in</c><00:26:46.279><c> your</c><00:26:46.420><c> Bibles</c><00:26:46.660><c> there</c>

00:26:47.740 --> 00:26:51.859
so<00:26:48.220><c> we</c><00:26:48.359><c> can</c><00:26:50.299><c> give</c><00:26:50.640><c> ourselves</c><00:26:50.960><c> a</c><00:26:51.140><c> break</c><00:26:51.259><c> from</c><00:26:51.480><c> the</c><00:26:51.680><c> screen.</c>

00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:55.859
Psalm<00:26:52.440><c> 67</c><00:26:53.119><c> is</c><00:26:53.480><c> a</c><00:26:53.740><c> wonderful</c><00:26:54.259><c> kingdom</c><00:26:54.720><c> psalm.</c>

00:27:15.339 --> 00:27:21.380
Now<00:27:15.859><c> this</c><00:27:16.099><c> is</c><00:27:16.319><c> a</c><00:27:16.559><c> psalm</c><00:27:17.000><c> which</c><00:27:17.339><c> is</c><00:27:17.700><c> sung</c><00:27:18.319><c> by</c><00:27:19.759><c> Israel</c><00:27:20.319><c> in</c><00:27:20.799><c> spirit</c><00:27:21.119><c> here.</c>

00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:23.240
This<00:27:21.619><c> is</c><00:27:22.059><c> a</c><00:27:22.339><c> psalm</c><00:27:22.619><c> of</c><00:27:22.779><c> the</c><00:27:22.980><c> kingdom.</c>

00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:26.460
So<00:27:23.460><c> I</c><00:27:23.519><c> want</c><00:27:23.660><c> you</c><00:27:23.900><c> to</c><00:27:24.019><c> transform</c><00:27:25.299><c> yourselves.</c>

00:27:32.180 --> 00:27:33.900

Because<00:30:06.839><c> when</c><00:30:07.000><c> they</c><00:30:07.299><c> see</c><00:30:07.480><c> all</c><00:30:07.700><c> this</c><00:30:07.920><c> amazing</c><00:30:08.539><c> increase,</c>

00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:20.079
they're<00:30:19.200><c> gonna</c><00:30:19.359><c> see</c><00:30:19.559><c> the</c><00:30:19.839><c> temple,</c>

00:30:20.220 --> 00:30:22.619
they're<00:30:20.319><c> gonna</c><00:30:20.420><c> see</c><00:30:20.599><c> the</c><00:30:20.839><c> fruitfulness</c><00:30:21.220><c> of</c><00:30:21.420><c> the</c><00:30:21.599><c> land.</c>

00:30:23.859 --> 00:30:25.640

00:30:33.140 --> 00:30:35.000
And<00:30:33.619><c> what's</c><00:30:33.859><c> the</c><00:30:33.980><c> implication?</c>

00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:37.799
If<00:30:36.039><c> they</c><00:30:36.279><c> see</c><00:30:36.460><c> that</c><00:30:36.819><c> produce,</c>

00:30:39.460 --> 00:30:41.339
that<00:30:39.539><c> they'll</c><00:30:39.740><c> be</c><00:30:39.859><c> able</c><00:30:40.000><c> to</c><00:30:40.200><c> provide</c><00:30:40.440><c> for</c><00:30:40.619><c> their</c><00:30:40.900><c> families</c>

00:30:41.339 --> 00:30:43.200
and<00:30:41.559><c> they'll</c><00:30:41.880><c> learn</c><00:30:42.000><c> to</c><00:30:42.319><c> trust</c><00:30:42.579><c> in</c><00:30:42.839><c> their</c><00:30:43.019><c> God,</c>

00:30:43.220 --> 00:30:45.220
that<00:30:43.339><c> it'll</c><00:30:43.539><c> take</c><00:30:43.660><c> a</c><00:30:43.799><c> lot</c><00:30:43.900><c> of</c><00:30:44.119><c> trust</c><00:30:44.519><c> for</c><00:30:44.819><c> them</c>

00:30:45.220 --> 00:30:48.700
to<00:30:45.819><c> take</c><00:30:46.140><c> all</c><00:30:46.559><c> those</c><00:30:46.819><c> things</c><00:30:47.019><c> that</c><00:30:47.180><c> they</c><00:30:47.359><c> used</c><00:30:47.539><c> to</c><00:30:47.779><c> trust</c><00:30:47.980><c> in</c>

00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:52.019
and<00:30:50.920><c> to</c><00:30:51.140><c> convert</c><00:30:51.339><c> them</c><00:30:51.500><c> into</c><00:30:51.700><c> tools</c>

00:30:52.019 --> 00:30:54.480
that<00:30:52.200><c> you'd</c><00:30:52.400><c> have</c><00:30:52.539><c> to</c><00:30:52.759><c> wait</c><00:30:52.940><c> for</c><00:30:53.140><c> the</c><00:30:53.339><c> blessing</c>

00:30:55.740 --> 00:30:57.200
in<00:30:56.180><c> their</c><00:30:56.359><c> using.</c>

00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:00.759
So<00:30:58.940><c> it's</c><00:30:59.119><c> a</c><00:30:59.240><c> wonderful</c><00:30:59.539><c> thing</c><00:30:59.759><c> that</c><00:30:59.940><c> the</c><00:31:00.079><c> Lord</c><00:31:00.220><c> Jesus</c><00:31:00.500><c> Christ</c>

will<00:31:00.940><c> command</c><00:31:01.200><c> what</c><00:31:01.359><c> he</c><00:31:01.440><c> does</c><00:31:01.680><c> in</c><00:31:02.720><c> Isaiah</c><00:31:03.039><c> chapter</c><00:31:03.480><c> two,</c>

00:31:03.740 --> 00:31:05.400
which<00:31:03.859><c> is</c><00:31:04.000><c> to</c><00:31:04.140><c> beat</c><00:31:04.220><c> your</c><00:31:04.500><c> swords</c><00:31:04.680><c> into</c><00:31:04.920><c> plowshares</c>

00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:08.519
because<00:31:05.880><c> this</c><00:31:06.359><c> is</c><00:31:06.579><c> exactly</c><00:31:06.880><c> what</c><00:31:07.059><c> the</c><00:31:07.299><c> nations</c><00:31:07.500><c> will</c><00:31:07.859><c> see</c>

00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:10.799
when<00:31:09.099><c> they</c><00:31:09.859><c> go</c><00:31:10.059><c> up</c><00:31:10.259><c> into</c><00:31:10.420><c> the</c><00:31:10.619><c> land.</c>

00:31:10.819 --> 00:31:12.720
They'll<00:31:11.099><c> see</c><00:31:11.339><c> this</c><00:31:11.700><c> fruitfulness.</c>

00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:15.839
And<00:31:13.640><c> that's</c><00:31:13.839><c> how</c><00:31:14.000><c> it</c><00:31:14.099><c> is</c><00:31:14.279><c> really</c><00:31:14.480><c> with</c><00:31:14.640><c> all</c><00:31:14.859><c> the</c><00:31:15.059><c> commands</c><00:31:15.319><c> of</c><00:31:15.559><c> God</c>

00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:18.859
that<00:31:16.640><c> God</c><00:31:17.279><c> commands</c><00:31:17.680><c> us</c><00:31:17.940><c> to</c><00:31:18.099><c> do</c><00:31:18.240><c> things.</c>

00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:22.380
Young<00:31:19.619><c> people,</c><00:31:20.039><c> I</c><00:31:20.140><c> say</c><00:31:20.359><c> this</c><00:31:20.599><c> to</c><00:31:21.339><c> young</c><00:31:21.539><c> people</c><00:31:21.779><c> in</c><00:31:21.960><c> particular,</c>

00:31:22.819 --> 00:31:25.400
God<00:31:23.039><c> commands</c><00:31:23.339><c> us</c><00:31:23.559><c> to</c><00:31:23.660><c> do</c><00:31:23.799><c> things</c><00:31:24.140><c> and</c><00:31:24.400><c> we</c><00:31:24.579><c> think</c>

00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:30.359
that<00:31:28.140><c> we</c><00:31:28.579><c> don't</c><00:31:28.759><c> wanna</c><00:31:28.880><c> do</c><00:31:29.099><c> that.</c>

00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:33.579
But<00:31:32.319><c> God's</c><00:31:32.539><c> saying,</c><00:31:32.799><c> but</c><00:31:32.920><c> if</c><00:31:33.079><c> you</c><00:31:33.180><c> do</c><00:31:33.380><c> that,</c>

00:31:33.660 --> 00:31:36.640
look<00:31:33.799><c> at</c><00:31:33.960><c> the</c><00:31:34.240><c> blessing</c><00:31:34.599><c> that's</c><00:31:35.059><c> implicit</c><00:31:35.380><c> in</c><00:31:35.579><c> these</c><00:31:35.839><c> things.</c>

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:40.799
Look<00:31:37.980><c> at</c><00:31:38.119><c> the</c><00:31:38.339><c> blessing</c><00:31:38.660><c> that's</c><00:31:39.019><c> implicit</c><00:31:39.299><c> in</c><00:31:39.559><c> following</c><00:31:39.779><c> God.</c>

00:31:40.940 --> 00:31:43.359
God<00:31:41.480><c> just</c><00:31:41.680><c> doesn't</c><00:31:41.940><c> want</c><00:31:42.099><c> them</c><00:31:42.299><c> to</c><00:31:42.779><c> fulfill</c><00:31:42.980><c> a</c><00:31:43.200><c> command</c>

00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:44.220
to<00:31:43.559><c> fulfill</c><00:31:43.759><c> a</c><00:31:43.960><c> command.</c>

00:31:44.380 --> 00:31:46.779
It's<00:31:44.619><c> because</c><00:31:44.839><c> he</c><00:31:45.000><c> wants</c><00:31:45.240><c> us</c><00:31:45.460><c> to</c><00:31:46.019><c> manifest</c><00:31:46.420><c> him</c>

00:31:46.779 --> 00:31:48.759
and<00:31:47.140><c> he</c><00:31:47.220><c> wants</c><00:31:47.400><c> to</c><00:31:47.660><c> bless</c><00:31:47.859><c> us</c><00:31:48.099><c> in</c><00:31:48.259><c> it.</c>

00:31:49.099 --> 00:31:52.619
So<00:31:49.240><c> don't</c><00:31:49.380><c> just</c><00:31:49.660><c> get</c><00:31:49.900><c> rid</c><00:31:50.279><c> of</c><00:31:50.839><c> your</c><00:31:51.119><c> weapons</c><00:31:51.400><c> of</c><00:31:51.640><c> war.</c>

00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:55.359
Take<00:31:53.059><c> that</c><00:31:53.400><c> energy,</c><00:31:53.839><c> take</c><00:31:54.140><c> those</c><00:31:54.420><c> things</c>

00:31:55.529 --> 00:31:58.339
and<00:31:55.799><c> convert</c><00:31:56.160><c> them</c><00:31:56.299><c> into</c><00:31:56.460><c> that</c><00:31:56.680><c> which</c><00:31:56.880><c> does</c><00:31:57.160><c> good</c>

00:31:58.500 --> 00:32:02.200
so<00:31:59.039><c> that</c><00:31:59.200><c> we</c><00:31:59.319><c> might</c><00:31:59.660><c> be</c><00:32:00.539><c> prepared</c><00:32:00.940><c> to</c><00:32:01.240><c> receive</c><00:32:01.640><c> a</c><00:32:01.940><c> blessing</c>

00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:03.819
from<00:32:02.480><c> him.</c>

00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:11.579
And<00:32:08.059><c> so</c><00:32:08.220><c> the</c><00:32:08.380><c> kingdom,</c><00:32:09.460><c> although</c><00:32:09.700><c> it</c><00:32:10.079><c> expands</c><00:32:10.420><c> to</c><00:32:10.660><c> the</c><00:32:10.799><c> entire</c><00:32:11.240><c> world,</c>

00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:15.220
it<00:32:11.920><c> begins</c><00:32:12.460><c> in</c><00:32:14.059><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:32:15.460 --> 00:32:17.099
And<00:32:15.619><c> that's</c><00:32:15.759><c> why</c><00:32:15.859><c> we</c><00:32:15.980><c> have</c><00:32:16.059><c> this</c><00:32:16.200><c> wonderful</c><00:32:16.579><c> phrase</c><00:32:16.880><c> here</c>

00:32:17.099 --> 00:32:18.000
in<00:32:17.220><c> Micah</c><00:32:17.500><c> chapter</c><00:32:17.779><c> eight.</c>

00:32:18.180 --> 00:32:21.920
It<00:32:18.180><c> says,</c><00:32:18.759><c> unto</c><00:32:18.759><c> thee,</c><00:32:20.079><c> daughter</c><00:32:20.380><c> of</c><00:32:20.660><c> Zion</c><00:32:21.000><c> shall</c><00:32:21.380><c> it</c><00:32:21.740><c> come,</c>

00:32:22.059 --> 00:32:25.599
even<00:32:22.380><c> the</c><00:32:22.759><c> first</c><00:32:23.559><c> dominion,</c><00:32:24.119><c> the</c><00:32:24.480><c> kingdom</c><00:32:24.900><c> shall</c><00:32:25.220><c> come</c>

00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:26.799
to<00:32:25.779><c> the</c><00:32:25.980><c> daughter</c><00:32:26.200><c> of</c><00:32:26.460><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:32:26.819 --> 00:32:28.259
And<00:32:26.980><c> that's</c><00:32:27.200><c> where</c><00:32:27.380><c> it</c><00:32:27.480><c> is</c><00:32:27.599><c> that</c><00:32:27.740><c> it</c><00:32:27.980><c> begins.</c>

00:32:28.380 --> 00:32:31.619

00:32:31.619 --> 00:32:33.299
with<00:32:32.119><c> the</c><00:32:32.299><c> conversion</c><00:32:32.619><c> of</c><00:32:32.799><c> the</c><00:32:32.960><c> Jews</c><00:32:33.180><c> into</c><00:32:33.299><c> the</c><00:32:33.299><c> kingdom</c><00:32:33.299><c> of</c><00:32:33.299><c> God.</c>

00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:36.240
In<00:32:33.420><c> the</c><00:32:33.539><c> city</c><00:32:33.839><c> first,</c><00:32:35.200><c> Judah</c><00:32:35.380><c> strengthened</c><00:32:35.880><c> later</c>

00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:38.779
and<00:32:36.460><c> then</c><00:32:36.740><c> Israel</c><00:32:37.059><c> regathered</c><00:32:37.880><c> later.</c>

00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:42.299
But<00:32:39.720><c> this</c><00:32:39.900><c> is</c><00:32:40.380><c> the</c><00:32:40.500><c> very</c><00:32:40.799><c> nexus</c><00:32:41.140><c> of</c><00:32:41.339><c> the</c><00:32:41.480><c> kingdom</c><00:32:41.720><c> there</c>

00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:48.880
That's<00:32:45.960><c> Micah</c><00:32:46.200><c> chapter</c><00:32:46.500><c> four</c><00:32:47.259><c> at</c><00:32:47.660><c> verse</c><00:32:47.940><c> eight.</c>

00:32:55.579 --> 00:32:57.660
Let's<00:32:56.099><c> have</c><00:32:56.240><c> a</c><00:32:56.279><c> look</c><00:32:56.400><c> at</c><00:32:56.579><c> Psalm</c><00:32:56.779><c> 72</c><00:32:57.259><c> then.</c>

00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:01.099
I<00:32:58.119><c> don't</c><00:32:58.359><c> know</c><00:32:58.720><c> that</c><00:32:58.900><c> it's</c><00:32:59.180><c> possible</c><00:32:59.599><c> to</c><00:32:59.819><c> get</c><00:32:59.940><c> a</c><00:33:00.160><c> Psalm</c>

00:33:01.220 --> 00:33:07.400
which<00:33:01.460><c> is</c><00:33:01.859><c> more</c><00:33:04.319><c> varied</c><00:33:05.640><c> and</c><00:33:06.779><c> detailed</c>

00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:10.859
in<00:33:07.980><c> its</c><00:33:08.220><c> many</c><00:33:08.480><c> themes</c><00:33:08.799><c> about</c><00:33:09.099><c> the</c><00:33:09.259><c> kingdom</c><00:33:09.500><c> of</c><00:33:09.700><c> Psalm</c><00:33:09.859><c> 72.</c>

00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:15.720
If<00:33:14.319><c> you</c><00:33:14.480><c> have</c><00:33:14.619><c> another</c><00:33:14.819><c> one,</c><00:33:14.960><c> I</c><00:33:15.000><c> wanna</c><00:33:15.180><c> hear</c><00:33:15.400><c> about</c><00:33:15.579><c> it</c>

00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:17.279
so<00:33:15.819><c> I</c><00:33:15.880><c> can</c><00:33:16.000><c> add</c><00:33:16.119><c> it</c><00:33:16.220><c> to</c><00:33:16.319><c> my</c><00:33:16.480><c> list.</c>

00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:24.200
But<00:33:19.220><c> Psalm</c><00:33:19.420><c> 72</c><00:33:19.900><c> is</c><00:33:20.339><c> absolutely</c><00:33:21.140><c> a</c><00:33:22.480><c> breathtaking</c><00:33:23.000><c> song.</c>

00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:33.319
So<00:33:29.960><c> let's</c><00:33:30.140><c> just</c><00:33:30.380><c> have</c><00:33:31.299><c> a</c><00:33:32.279><c> read</c><00:33:32.539><c> through</c><00:33:32.940><c> the</c><00:33:33.180><c> Psalm</c>

00:33:38.420 --> 00:33:43.019

00:33:48.099 --> 00:33:50.779
He<00:33:48.519><c> shall</c><00:33:48.839><c> judge</c><00:33:49.200><c> thy</c><00:33:49.519><c> people</c><00:33:49.859><c> with</c><00:33:50.160><c> righteousness</c>

00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:56.759
The<00:33:54.420><c> mountains</c><00:33:55.019><c> shall</c><00:33:55.400><c> bring</c><00:33:55.680><c> peace</c><00:33:56.079><c> to</c><00:33:56.279><c> the</c><00:33:56.440><c> people</c>

00:34:01.180 --> 00:34:03.500
He<00:34:01.359><c> shall</c><00:34:01.660><c> judge</c><00:34:02.079><c> the</c><00:34:02.420><c> poor</c><00:34:02.700><c> of</c><00:34:02.940><c> the</c><00:34:03.119><c> people.</c>

00:34:03.859 --> 00:34:08.199
He<00:34:04.099><c> shall</c><00:34:04.359><c> save</c><00:34:04.940><c> the</c><00:34:05.619><c> children</c><00:34:06.299><c> of</c><00:34:06.940><c> the</c><00:34:07.220><c> needy</c>

00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:11.780

00:34:11.860 --> 00:34:14.260
That's<00:34:12.159><c> what's</c><00:34:12.360><c> going</c><00:34:12.500><c> to</c><00:34:12.659><c> happen</c><00:34:12.880><c> in</c><00:34:13.059><c> the</c><00:34:13.179><c> age</c><00:34:13.360><c> to</c><00:34:13.559><c> come.</c>

00:34:15.099 --> 00:34:20.380

00:34:39.980 --> 00:34:43.079

00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:14.880
Would<00:38:13.159><c> you</c><00:38:13.280><c> have</c><00:38:13.360><c> written</c><00:38:13.480><c> a</c><00:38:13.619><c> story</c><00:38:13.739><c> about</c><00:38:13.900><c> that?</c>

00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:19.579
Like,<00:38:16.400><c> it's</c><00:38:16.780><c> the</c><00:38:17.179><c> moment</c><00:38:17.559><c> that</c><00:38:17.840><c> talks</c><00:38:18.159><c> about</c><00:38:18.619><c> his</c><00:38:19.079><c> wisdom,</c>

00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:24.719
And<00:38:21.519><c> these</c><00:38:21.920><c> two</c><00:38:22.260><c> despised</c><00:38:22.840><c> people</c><00:38:23.219><c> are</c><00:38:23.440><c> brought</c><00:38:23.579><c> before</c><00:38:23.900><c> him.</c>

00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:11.679

00:39:11.780 --> 00:39:13.539
We<00:39:11.820><c> won't</c><00:39:11.960><c> be</c><00:39:12.099><c> able</c><00:39:12.219><c> to</c><00:39:12.360><c> finish</c><00:39:12.579><c> Psalm</c><00:39:12.940><c> 72.</c>

00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:16.300
I<00:39:13.739><c> know</c><00:39:13.820><c> it</c><00:39:13.920><c> was</c><00:39:13.980><c> just</c><00:39:14.159><c> a</c><00:39:14.300><c> very</c><00:39:14.539><c> brief,</c><00:39:15.239><c> broad</c><00:39:15.480><c> brush.</c>

00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:19.900
We've<00:39:17.619><c> looked</c><00:39:17.739><c> at</c><00:39:17.840><c> some</c><00:39:18.019><c> of</c><00:39:18.099><c> the</c><00:39:18.239><c> future</c><00:39:18.539><c> prophecies</c><00:39:19.039><c> in</c><00:39:19.219><c> the</c><00:39:19.400><c> Psalms</c>

00:39:19.900 --> 00:39:21.340
and<00:39:20.079><c> we've</c><00:39:20.380><c> just</c><00:39:20.639><c> started</c><00:39:20.880><c> to</c><00:39:21.139><c> allude</c>

00:39:21.340 --> 00:39:25.039
to<00:39:21.559><c> some</c><00:39:21.760><c> of</c><00:39:21.900><c> the</c><00:39:22.099><c> typical</c><00:39:22.440><c> history</c><00:39:23.300><c> in</c><00:39:24.340><c> Solomon's</c><00:39:24.860><c> kingdom.</c>

00:39:25.139 --> 00:39:27.159
Because<00:39:25.500><c> Solomon's</c><00:39:26.139><c> kingdom</c><00:39:26.739><c> points</c><00:39:27.159><c> out</c>

00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:30.679
and<00:39:27.159><c> points</c><00:39:27.260><c> forward</c><00:39:27.960><c> to</c><00:39:28.559><c> the</c><00:39:28.739><c> Lord</c><00:39:28.920><c> Jesus</c><00:39:29.320><c> Christ's</c><00:39:29.860><c> reign.</c>

00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:35.119
It<00:39:32.940><c> wasn't</c><00:39:33.519><c> certainly</c><00:39:34.019><c> the</c><00:39:34.320><c> fullness</c><00:39:34.599><c> of</c><00:39:34.800><c> the</c><00:39:34.940><c> kingdom.</c>

00:39:35.219 --> 00:39:37.699
In<00:39:35.300><c> many</c><00:39:35.519><c> cases,</c><00:39:35.840><c> it</c><00:39:35.940><c> was</c><00:39:36.199><c> a</c><00:39:36.440><c> parody</c><00:39:36.739><c> of</c><00:39:36.980><c> the</c><00:39:37.159><c> kingdom</c><00:39:37.360><c> to</c><00:39:37.579><c> come</c>

00:39:37.699 --> 00:39:42.059
because<00:39:38.000><c> Solomon,</c><00:39:38.420><c> he</c><00:39:38.619><c> starts</c><00:39:38.800><c> gathering</c><00:39:39.239><c> all</c><00:39:39.500><c> these</c><00:39:41.119><c> wives</c>

00:39:51.099 --> 00:39:54.420
It<00:39:51.420><c> became</c><00:39:51.679><c> a</c><00:39:52.019><c> parody</c><00:39:52.300><c> of</c><00:39:52.519><c> the</c><00:39:52.659><c> kingdom</c><00:39:52.860><c> of</c><00:39:53.059><c> God</c><00:39:53.199><c> in</c><00:39:53.320><c> the</c><00:39:53.440><c> future.</c>

00:39:54.739 --> 00:39:57.960
But<00:39:55.179><c> in</c><00:39:55.420><c> many</c><00:39:55.579><c> ways,</c><00:39:56.840><c> in</c><00:39:56.960><c> many</c><00:39:57.199><c> positive</c><00:39:57.699><c> ways,</c>

00:39:57.980 --> 00:39:59.920
it<00:39:58.159><c> did</c><00:39:58.460><c> prefigure</c><00:39:59.039><c> the</c><00:39:59.260><c> incredible</c><00:39:59.639><c> kingdom.</c>

00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:01.880
So<00:40:00.199><c> turn</c><00:40:00.360><c> with</c><00:40:00.579><c> me</c><00:40:00.960><c> so</c><00:40:01.239><c> that</c><00:40:01.360><c> we</c><00:40:01.400><c> can</c><00:40:01.559><c> have</c><00:40:01.739><c> a</c><00:40:01.760><c> look</c>
