00:07:17.220 --> 00:07:18.959

the<00:10:16.399><c> Passover.</c>

00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.080
You<00:10:17.419><c> remember</c><00:10:17.700><c> back</c><00:10:17.980><c> in</c><00:10:18.139><c> the</c><00:10:18.299><c> days</c><00:10:18.559><c> when</c><00:10:19.220><c> when</c><00:10:19.419><c> Jeroboam</c><00:10:19.860><c> took</c>

00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:25.159

00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:27.700
So<00:10:25.399><c> he</c><00:10:25.539><c> just</c><00:10:25.799><c> said</c><00:10:25.899><c> well</c><00:10:26.320><c> why</c><00:10:26.480><c> don't</c><00:10:26.580><c> you</c><00:10:26.700><c> be</c><00:10:26.840><c> a</c><00:10:27.019><c> priest</c><00:10:27.220><c> and</c><00:10:27.399><c> you</c><00:10:27.519><c> be</c>

00:10:29.980 --> 00:10:32.860
And<00:10:30.639><c> so</c><00:10:31.039><c> some</c><00:10:31.340><c> of</c><00:10:31.460><c> the</c><00:10:31.700><c> priests</c><00:10:31.940><c> and</c><00:10:32.139><c> the</c><00:10:32.279><c> Levites</c><00:10:32.600><c> that</c><00:10:32.740><c> were</c>

00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.519
and<00:10:39.360><c> went</c><00:10:39.519><c> down</c><00:10:39.879><c> and</c><00:10:40.279><c> settled</c><00:10:40.500><c> in</c><00:10:40.720><c> the</c><00:10:40.860><c> land</c><00:10:41.019><c> of</c><00:10:41.220><c> Judah.</c>

00:10:41.940 --> 00:10:45.860
And<00:10:42.159><c> they</c><00:10:42.480><c> probably</c><00:10:43.039><c> those</c><00:10:43.620><c> family</c><00:10:44.039><c> members</c><00:10:44.500><c> and</c><00:10:44.700><c> their</c><00:10:44.919><c> descendants</c><00:10:45.460><c> would</c><00:10:45.700><c> have</c>

00:10:45.860 --> 00:10:48.860
then<00:10:46.019><c> escaped</c><00:10:46.539><c> later</c><00:10:46.960><c> on</c><00:10:47.259><c> when</c><00:10:47.440><c> the</c><00:10:47.659><c> Assyrians</c><00:10:48.059><c> came</c><00:10:48.360><c> and</c><00:10:48.500><c> took</c><00:10:48.639><c> the</c>

northern<00:10:49.059><c> kingdom</c><00:10:49.419><c> and</c><00:10:50.019><c> spread</c><00:10:50.320><c> them</c><00:10:50.559><c> out</c><00:10:50.700><c> all</c><00:10:50.980><c> over</c><00:10:51.200><c> and</c><00:10:51.440><c> brought</c><00:10:51.639><c> the</c>

00:10:54.820 --> 00:10:59.480
So<00:10:55.360><c> probably</c><00:10:55.940><c> some</c><00:10:56.539><c> members</c><00:10:57.039><c> of</c><00:10:57.320><c> those</c><00:10:57.620><c> 12</c><00:10:57.879><c> tribes</c><00:10:58.240><c> were</c><00:10:58.460><c> actually</c><00:10:58.899><c> there</c><00:10:59.220><c> at</c>

00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.600
the<00:10:59.720><c> end</c><00:11:00.080><c> in</c><00:11:00.320><c> Zedekiah's</c><00:11:00.980><c> life</c><00:11:01.240><c> when</c><00:11:01.620><c> the</c><00:11:01.799><c> kingdom</c><00:11:02.039><c> fell</c><00:11:02.419><c> and</c>

00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:06.159
they<00:11:02.740><c> were</c><00:11:02.980><c> carried</c><00:11:03.139><c> up</c><00:11:03.500><c> captive</c><00:11:03.720><c> to</c><00:11:03.980><c> Babylon</c><00:11:04.360><c> or</c><00:11:04.860><c> some</c><00:11:05.059><c> of</c><00:11:05.200><c> them</c><00:11:05.299><c> may</c><00:11:05.419><c> have</c><00:11:05.559><c> gone</c><00:11:05.679><c> back</c><00:11:05.960><c> in</c>

00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.600

00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.559
So<00:11:08.860><c> it's</c><00:11:09.360><c> possible</c><00:11:09.879><c> at</c><00:11:10.059><c> least</c><00:11:10.240><c> when</c><00:11:10.340><c> you</c><00:11:10.480><c> look</c><00:11:10.600><c> at</c><00:11:10.740><c> the</c><00:11:10.919><c> evidence</c><00:11:11.240><c> that's</c>

00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:24.080

probably<00:11:56.379><c> members</c><00:11:56.820><c> from</c><00:11:57.159><c> all</c><00:11:57.659><c> 12</c><00:11:58.159><c> different</c><00:11:58.620><c> tribes</c><00:11:59.039><c> that</c><00:11:59.279><c> are</c><00:11:59.440><c> now</c><00:11:59.799><c> back</c><00:12:00.159><c> in</c>

00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:02.179
the<00:12:00.620><c> land</c><00:12:00.940><c> and</c><00:12:01.279><c> they've</c><00:12:01.580><c> come</c><00:12:01.860><c> back.</c>

00:12:02.179 --> 00:12:06.860
And<00:12:02.480><c> this</c><00:12:02.700><c> is</c><00:12:03.019><c> actually</c><00:12:03.340><c> a</c><00:12:03.679><c> partial</c><00:12:04.059><c> fulfillment</c><00:12:04.659><c> of</c><00:12:05.620><c> the</c><00:12:06.179><c> prophecy</c><00:12:06.580><c> in</c>

00:12:06.860 --> 00:12:10.539
Ezekiel<00:12:07.379><c> where</c><00:12:07.759><c> God</c><00:12:08.080><c> had</c><00:12:08.440><c> said</c><00:12:08.639><c> that</c><00:12:08.899><c> after</c><00:12:09.240><c> taking</c><00:12:09.580><c> them</c><00:12:09.840><c> away</c><00:12:10.159><c> that</c><00:12:10.360><c> he</c>

00:12:10.539 --> 00:12:15.980
would<00:12:10.860><c> bring</c><00:12:11.139><c> them</c><00:12:11.379><c> back</c><00:12:11.720><c> and</c><00:12:12.019><c> unite</c><00:12:12.539><c> Judah</c><00:12:13.179><c> and</c><00:12:13.500><c> Israel</c><00:12:14.139><c> under</c><00:12:14.899><c> one</c><00:12:15.659><c> leader.</c>

00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:19.139
And<00:12:16.200><c> he</c><00:12:16.259><c> would</c><00:12:16.480><c> take</c><00:12:16.720><c> the</c><00:12:16.940><c> two</c><00:12:17.159><c> sticks</c><00:12:17.440><c> and</c><00:12:17.720><c> put</c><00:12:17.840><c> them</c><00:12:18.039><c> back</c><00:12:18.259><c> together</c><00:12:18.679><c> and</c><00:12:19.039><c> he</c>

00:12:19.139 --> 00:12:21.220
would<00:12:19.320><c> have</c><00:12:19.620><c> one</c><00:12:20.139><c> shepherd</c><00:12:20.519><c> over</c><00:12:20.919><c> them.</c>

00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:24.440
And<00:12:21.860><c> we</c><00:12:22.139><c> tend</c><00:12:22.379><c> to</c><00:12:22.659><c> take</c><00:12:22.779><c> those</c><00:12:23.120><c> passages</c><00:12:23.580><c> in</c><00:12:23.779><c> Ezekiel</c><00:12:24.159><c> and</c><00:12:24.320><c> all</c>

00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.960
we<00:12:24.580><c> ever</c><00:12:24.799><c> do</c><00:12:24.980><c> is</c><00:12:25.139><c> apply</c><00:12:25.500><c> them</c><00:12:25.679><c> to</c><00:12:25.879><c> the</c><00:12:26.000><c> Lord</c><00:12:26.159><c> Jesus</c><00:12:26.500><c> Christ</c><00:12:26.779><c> in</c>

00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:32.100
And<00:12:28.799><c> sometimes</c><00:12:29.340><c> we</c><00:12:29.639><c> forget</c><00:12:30.000><c> that</c><00:12:30.139><c> they</c><00:12:30.360><c> really</c><00:12:30.820><c> did</c><00:12:31.200><c> have</c><00:12:31.639><c> a</c>

00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:35.820
There<00:12:33.620><c> was</c><00:12:33.840><c> an</c><00:12:34.100><c> initial</c><00:12:34.399><c> fulfillment</c><00:12:34.860><c> of</c><00:12:35.059><c> those</c><00:12:35.340><c> prophecies</c>

00:12:35.820 --> 00:12:39.820

the<00:12:43.059><c> land</c><00:12:43.299><c> and</c><00:12:43.600><c> the</c><00:12:43.840><c> temple</c><00:12:44.059><c> was</c><00:12:44.379><c> built</c><00:12:44.620><c> and</c><00:12:44.899><c> there</c><00:12:45.139><c> was</c><00:12:45.460><c> one</c>

00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:51.360
In<00:12:48.679><c> the</c><00:12:49.000><c> account</c><00:12:49.240><c> of</c><00:12:49.440><c> Zerubbabel</c><00:12:49.820><c> being</c><00:12:50.100><c> their</c><00:12:50.480><c> king</c><00:12:50.820><c> or</c><00:12:51.139><c> in</c>

00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:16.440
Saraiah<00:32:13.019><c> was</c><00:32:13.359><c> killed</c><00:32:14.039><c> at</c><00:32:14.640><c> the</c><00:32:14.779><c> beginning</c><00:32:15.099><c> of</c><00:32:15.319><c> the</c><00:32:15.480><c> captivity.</c>

00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:23.039
When<00:32:16.819><c> it</c><00:32:17.019><c> all</c><00:32:17.200><c> fell</c><00:32:17.480><c> apart</c><00:32:17.900><c> in</c><00:32:18.400><c> Zedekiah's</c><00:32:19.019><c> 11th</c><00:32:19.359><c> year</c><00:32:19.559><c> and</c><00:32:19.720><c> the</c><00:32:19.940><c> Babylonians</c><00:32:20.440><c> came</c><00:32:20.759><c> in,</c><00:32:21.460><c> Saraiah</c><00:32:22.000><c> was</c><00:32:22.339><c> killed</c><00:32:22.740><c> at</c>

00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:23.640
that<00:32:23.299><c> point.</c>

00:32:24.059 --> 00:32:26.380
And<00:32:24.259><c> so</c><00:32:24.400><c> now</c><00:32:24.680><c> he's</c><00:32:24.980><c> making</c><00:32:25.259><c> a</c><00:32:25.519><c> comeback</c><00:32:25.880><c> right</c><00:32:26.180><c> there.</c>

00:32:26.740 --> 00:32:29.859
So<00:32:26.740><c> you're</c><00:32:26.960><c> looking</c><00:32:27.119><c> at</c><00:32:27.359><c> Josadak</c><00:32:27.920><c> must</c><00:32:28.279><c> have</c><00:32:28.420><c> been</c><00:32:28.720><c> born</c><00:32:29.220><c> at</c>

the<00:32:30.079><c> time</c><00:32:30.359><c> of</c><00:32:30.640><c> the</c><00:32:30.799><c> beginning</c><00:32:30.960><c> of</c><00:32:31.140><c> the</c><00:32:31.299><c> captivity,</c><00:32:31.960><c> at</c><00:32:32.059><c> least</c>

50<00:32:32.799><c> years</c><00:32:33.099><c> of</c><00:32:33.279><c> it</c><00:32:33.680><c> because</c><00:32:34.220><c> it's</c><00:32:34.539><c> at</c><00:32:34.680><c> the</c><00:32:34.680><c> end</c><00:32:34.839><c> of</c><00:32:34.980><c> Zedekiah's</c><00:32:35.579><c> life.</c>

00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:39.119
And<00:32:36.180><c> already</c><00:32:36.740><c> Josadak</c><00:32:37.319><c> had</c><00:32:37.480><c> been</c><00:32:37.759><c> born</c><00:32:38.039><c> and</c><00:32:38.240><c> now</c><00:32:38.420><c> Josadak's</c>

00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:40.539
had<00:32:39.200><c> this</c><00:32:39.460><c> son</c><00:32:39.720><c> who's</c><00:32:40.200><c> Joshua.</c>

00:32:40.619 --> 00:32:43.019
But<00:32:40.799><c> it</c><00:32:40.960><c> gives</c><00:32:41.140><c> us</c><00:32:41.400><c> a</c><00:32:41.500><c> little</c><00:32:41.700><c> bit</c><00:32:41.859><c> of</c><00:32:41.960><c> an</c><00:32:42.160><c> idea</c><00:32:42.319><c> about</c><00:32:42.579><c> how</c><00:32:42.859><c> old</c>

00:32:43.019 --> 00:32:45.960
these<00:32:43.279><c> people</c><00:32:43.519><c> were,</c><00:32:44.119><c> that</c><00:32:44.240><c> these</c><00:32:44.559><c> people</c><00:32:44.900><c> span</c><00:32:45.339><c> the</c><00:32:45.619><c> period</c>

00:32:47.819 --> 00:32:51.000
So<00:32:48.000><c> that's</c><00:32:48.460><c> the</c><00:32:48.859><c> fellow</c><00:32:49.039><c> that</c><00:32:49.200><c> we're</c><00:32:49.319><c> dealing</c><00:32:49.579><c> with</c><00:32:49.880><c> with</c><00:32:50.019><c> Joshua.</c>

00:32:51.140 --> 00:32:56.240
Now,<00:32:51.480><c> what</c><00:32:51.680><c> about</c><00:32:52.299><c> when</c><00:32:53.200><c> you're</c><00:32:53.359><c> looking</c><00:32:53.579><c> at</c><00:32:53.880><c> Zerubbabel,</c><00:32:54.819><c> who</c><00:32:55.000><c> is</c><00:32:55.180><c> he?</c>

00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:59.420
Because<00:32:57.400><c> these</c><00:32:57.539><c> are</c><00:32:57.720><c> the</c><00:32:57.900><c> two</c><00:32:58.119><c> main</c><00:32:58.400><c> players</c><00:32:58.779><c> in</c><00:32:59.019><c> the</c><00:32:59.160><c> first</c>

He's<00:33:01.680><c> referred</c><00:33:02.019><c> to</c><00:33:02.339><c> as</c><00:33:02.579><c> Zerubbabel,</c><00:33:03.559><c> the</c><00:33:03.740><c> son</c><00:33:03.940><c> of</c><00:33:04.160><c> Sheltiel.</c>

00:33:05.500 --> 00:33:08.019
And<00:33:05.579><c> when</c><00:33:05.720><c> you</c><00:33:05.799><c> look</c><00:33:06.019><c> back</c><00:33:06.259><c> in</c><00:33:06.400><c> your</c><00:33:06.619><c> Bibles</c><00:33:07.039><c> and</c><00:33:07.480><c> when</c><00:33:07.640><c> you</c><00:33:07.720><c> look</c><00:33:07.839><c> at</c>

Matthew's<00:33:08.519><c> account</c><00:33:08.799><c> or</c><00:33:08.980><c> you</c><00:33:09.059><c> look</c><00:33:09.200><c> in</c><00:33:09.380><c> Ezra</c><00:33:09.740><c> or</c><00:33:09.960><c> Haggai,</c>

00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:13.339
you'll<00:33:10.619><c> find</c><00:33:10.799><c> out</c><00:33:11.019><c> that</c><00:33:11.140><c> he's</c><00:33:11.359><c> the</c><00:33:11.460><c> son</c><00:33:11.619><c> of</c><00:33:11.839><c> Sheltiel,</c><00:33:13.099><c> who's</c>

00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:21.480
Now,<00:33:19.259><c> if</c><00:33:19.359><c> you</c><00:33:19.519><c> were</c><00:33:19.619><c> listening</c><00:33:19.900><c> carefully</c><00:33:20.440><c> in</c><00:33:20.640><c> Brother</c><00:33:20.859><c> Paul's</c><00:33:21.220><c> class</c>

00:33:26.099 --> 00:33:28.039
He<00:33:26.279><c> didn't</c><00:33:26.500><c> reign</c><00:33:26.799><c> very</c><00:33:27.160><c> long</c><00:33:27.400><c> in</c><00:33:27.539><c> the</c><00:33:27.700><c> kingdom.</c>

00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:21.219

00:41:33.300 --> 00:41:36.880
And<00:41:33.480><c> so</c><00:41:33.599><c> the</c><00:41:33.800><c> suggestion</c><00:41:34.400><c> is</c><00:41:34.840><c> that</c><00:41:35.079><c> when</c><00:41:35.440><c> Jeconiah</c><00:41:35.960><c> became</c><00:41:36.400><c> king</c><00:41:36.699><c> in</c>

they<00:41:56.460><c> did</c><00:41:56.659><c> is</c><00:41:56.880><c> they</c><00:41:57.260><c> listened</c><00:41:57.659><c> to</c><00:41:57.960><c> Jeremiah's</c><00:41:58.619><c> words</c>

00:42:03.260 --> 00:42:06.079
It's<00:42:03.619><c> a</c><00:42:03.739><c> possibility</c><00:42:04.219><c> that</c><00:42:04.539><c> answers</c><00:42:05.000><c> this</c><00:42:05.539><c> little</c><00:42:05.820><c> section</c>

00:42:11.880 --> 00:42:14.280
And<00:42:11.900><c> so</c><00:42:12.219><c> that's</c><00:42:12.639><c> what</c><00:42:12.860><c> happens</c><00:42:13.179><c> with</c><00:42:13.400><c> the</c><00:42:13.579><c> chronologies</c><00:42:14.119><c> when</c>

the<00:42:28.679><c> priest.</c>

00:42:29.500 --> 00:42:34.099
It<00:42:29.679><c> took</c><00:42:30.019><c> two</c><00:42:30.579><c> different</c><00:42:30.920><c> people</c><00:42:31.380><c> by</c><00:42:31.780><c> law</c><00:42:32.239><c> to</c><00:42:32.519><c> represent</c><00:42:33.039><c> these</c><00:42:33.360><c> aspects</c><00:42:33.840><c> of</c>

00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:38.940
God<00:42:35.980><c> was</c><00:42:36.280><c> the</c><00:42:36.559><c> perfect</c><00:42:36.980><c> king</c><00:42:37.400><c>-priest</c><00:42:37.820><c> of</c><00:42:37.980><c> his</c><00:42:38.159><c> community,</c><00:42:38.760><c> but</c>

the<00:42:39.159><c> people</c><00:42:39.519><c> didn't</c><00:42:39.860><c> accept</c><00:42:40.219><c> him</c><00:42:40.400><c> as</c><00:42:40.619><c> king,</c>

00:42:40.860 --> 00:42:43.300
