Excellent<00:01:26.459><c> study,</c><00:01:27.540><c> and</c><00:01:27.540><c> I'm</c><00:01:28.060><c> greatly</c><00:01:28.459><c> indebted</c><00:01:29.000><c> to</c><00:01:30.840><c> the</c><00:01:31.019><c> study</c><00:01:31.459><c> and</c>

to<00:01:31.840><c> the</c><00:01:32.040><c> knowledge</c><00:01:32.299><c> that</c><00:01:32.780><c> he</c>

00:01:35.859 --> 00:01:39.920
And<00:01:36.000><c> I</c><00:01:36.060><c> would</c><00:01:36.379><c> highly</c><00:01:36.700><c> recommend</c><00:01:37.400><c> that</c><00:01:38.359><c> you</c><00:01:38.840><c> avail</c><00:01:39.099><c> yourself</c>

of<00:01:41.500><c> those</c><00:01:42.219><c> tapes,</c><00:01:42.659><c> because</c><00:01:42.980><c> they're</c>

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.340
really<00:01:44.200><c> excellent.</c>

00:01:46.620 --> 00:01:51.000
Now,<00:01:47.200><c> when</c><00:01:47.359><c> we</c><00:01:47.599><c> come</c><00:01:47.760><c> to</c><00:01:47.980><c> consider</c><00:01:48.420><c> this</c><00:01:49.260><c> aspect</c><00:01:50.079><c> of</c><00:01:50.299><c> Josiah's</c>

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.920

00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:57.400
was<00:01:56.140><c> on</c><00:01:56.340><c> the</c><00:01:56.579><c> throne.</c>

00:01:57.540 --> 00:02:04.239
And<00:01:57.819><c> at</c><00:01:58.000><c> the</c><00:01:58.120><c> end</c><00:01:58.239><c> of</c><00:01:58.439><c> the</c><00:01:58.500><c> day,</c><00:02:00.359><c> we</c><00:02:00.500><c> can</c><00:02:00.739><c> say</c><00:02:00.900><c> as</c><00:02:01.159><c> a</c><00:02:01.379><c> nation,</c><00:02:02.420><c> his</c><00:02:02.719><c> reign</c><00:02:02.920><c> was</c><00:02:03.200><c> a</c><00:02:03.379><c> failure.</c>

00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.460
And<00:02:06.159><c> that's</c><00:02:06.480><c> a</c><00:02:06.760><c> really</c><00:02:07.019><c> sad</c><00:02:07.260><c> commentary</c><00:02:07.840><c> in</c><00:02:08.000><c> many</c><00:02:08.159><c> ways.</c>

00:02:08.740 --> 00:02:12.780
Here<00:02:08.919><c> was</c><00:02:09.139><c> someone</c><00:02:09.419><c> who</c><00:02:09.659><c> gave</c><00:02:09.939><c> his</c><00:02:11.099><c> all</c><00:02:11.560><c> for</c><00:02:12.060><c> the</c><00:02:12.280><c> people.</c>

00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:18.419
Yet,<00:02:13.800><c> Jeremiah</c><00:02:14.680><c> could</c><00:02:15.240><c> write</c><00:02:16.180><c> the</c><00:02:17.180><c> things</c><00:02:17.539><c> that</c><00:02:17.759><c> he</c><00:02:18.020><c> wrote</c>

about<00:02:19.340><c> the</c><00:02:19.620><c> people.</c>

00:02:20.219 --> 00:02:24.360
And<00:02:20.280><c> when</c><00:02:20.439><c> we</c><00:02:20.580><c> look</c><00:02:20.780><c> at</c><00:02:20.960><c> Jeremiah's</c><00:02:23.439><c> prophecy,</c><00:02:23.879><c> when</c><00:02:24.020><c> we</c><00:02:24.159><c> look</c>

00:03:10.860 --> 00:03:13.219

emotion<00:08:33.980><c> don't</c><00:08:34.259><c> we?</c>

00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:37.159
We<00:08:34.980><c> talk</c><00:08:35.220><c> about</c><00:08:35.440><c> the</c><00:08:35.659><c> head</c><00:08:35.860><c> and</c><00:08:35.980><c> the</c><00:08:36.179><c> heart.</c>

00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:42.320
When<00:08:38.259><c> I</c><00:08:38.419><c> was</c><00:08:38.860><c> a</c><00:08:39.500><c> young</c><00:08:39.639><c> man</c><00:08:39.919><c> they</c><00:08:40.100><c> had</c><00:08:40.899><c> a</c><00:08:41.399><c> phrase</c><00:08:41.679><c> about</c><00:08:42.139><c> the</c>

Vietnam<00:08:42.700><c> War.</c>

00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:47.679
They<00:08:43.200><c> were</c><00:08:43.419><c> trying</c><00:08:43.700><c> to</c><00:08:45.539><c> win</c><00:08:45.720><c> over</c><00:08:46.039><c> the</c><00:08:46.320><c> hearts</c><00:08:46.679><c> and</c><00:08:47.059><c> the</c><00:08:47.320><c> minds</c>

00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:49.000
of<00:08:47.840><c> the</c><00:08:48.019><c> people.</c>

00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.980
In<00:08:49.759><c> other</c><00:08:49.940><c> words</c><00:08:50.100><c> the</c><00:08:50.379><c> affections</c><00:08:51.039><c> and</c><00:08:51.340><c> the</c><00:08:51.960><c> emotions</c><00:08:52.379><c> as</c><00:08:52.659><c> well</c><00:08:52.840><c> as</c>

00:08:52.980 --> 00:08:54.179
the<00:08:53.220><c> intellect.</c>

00:08:55.240 --> 00:09:02.460
Now<00:08:55.799><c> when</c><00:08:55.980><c> we</c><00:08:56.259><c> talk</c><00:08:56.519><c> in</c><00:08:57.480><c> the</c><00:08:57.700><c> Bible</c><00:08:58.139><c> to</c><00:08:59.139><c> the</c><00:08:59.360><c> Hebrews</c><00:08:59.820><c> when</c><00:09:01.200><c> somebody</c><00:09:01.519><c> talks</c><00:09:01.860><c> about</c><00:09:02.139><c> the</c>

00:09:02.460 --> 00:09:02.980
heart<00:09:02.700><c> it's</c>

00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:05.179
not<00:09:03.259><c> just</c><00:09:03.539><c> an</c><00:09:03.700><c> emotional</c><00:09:04.139><c> thing.</c>

00:09:05.659 --> 00:09:08.320
They<00:09:06.019><c> thought</c><00:09:06.279><c> more</c><00:09:06.480><c> in</c><00:09:06.600><c> terms</c><00:09:06.879><c> of</c><00:09:07.039><c> the</c><00:09:07.179><c> kidneys</c><00:09:07.419><c> as</c><00:09:07.679><c> being</c><00:09:07.899><c> the</c><00:09:08.019><c> seed</c><00:09:08.139><c> of</c>

00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:09.440
the<00:09:08.539><c> affection.</c>

00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:15.360
We<00:09:11.240><c> use</c><00:09:11.799><c> a</c><00:09:11.799><c> lot</c><00:09:12.100><c> of</c><00:09:12.879><c> those</c><00:09:13.039><c> kinds</c><00:09:13.360><c> of</c><00:09:13.600><c> metaphorical</c><00:09:14.159><c> expressions</c><00:09:14.659><c> even</c><00:09:15.080><c> today.</c>

00:09:15.419 --> 00:09:17.360
How<00:09:15.580><c> about</c><00:09:15.740><c> somebody</c><00:09:16.120><c> with</c><00:09:16.440><c> guts?</c>

00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:19.879
What<00:09:17.980><c> do</c><00:09:18.080><c> you</c><00:09:18.120><c> mean</c><00:09:18.279><c> when</c><00:09:18.440><c> somebody's</c><00:09:18.799><c> got</c><00:09:18.960><c> guts?</c>

00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:23.659
Courage.

00:09:24.620 --> 00:09:27.600
Yeah<00:09:25.100><c> exactly</c><00:09:25.580><c> the</c><00:09:25.799><c> same</c><00:09:26.039><c> kind</c><00:09:26.299><c> of</c><00:09:26.559><c> you</c><00:09:26.759><c> know</c><00:09:26.960><c> the</c><00:09:27.159><c> guys</c><00:09:27.299><c> got</c><00:09:27.519><c> a</c>

00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:32.480
lot<00:09:27.799><c> of</c><00:09:28.620><c> prominence.</c>

00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.019
Yeah<00:09:33.600><c> well</c><00:09:33.980><c> some</c><00:09:34.179><c> people</c><00:09:34.500><c> do</c><00:09:34.740><c> have</c><00:09:34.919><c> a</c><00:09:34.980><c> little</c><00:09:35.120><c> more</c><00:09:35.460><c> prominence</c><00:09:35.840><c> than</c>

00:09:36.019 --> 00:09:36.679
others<00:09:36.240><c> don't</c><00:09:36.519><c> they?</c>

00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:38.100
That's<00:09:37.240><c> true.</c>

00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.320
Particularly<00:09:38.779><c> in</c><00:09:38.940><c> this</c><00:09:39.139><c> country</c><00:09:39.399><c> we</c><00:09:39.620><c> tend</c><00:09:39.879><c> to</c><00:09:40.860><c> do</c><00:09:41.039><c> a</c><00:09:41.179><c> little</c>

00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:45.379
more<00:09:41.779><c> with</c><00:09:42.580><c> the</c><00:09:42.840><c> gut</c><00:09:43.000><c> than</c><00:09:43.240><c> we</c><00:09:43.419><c> do</c><00:09:44.279><c> with</c>

00:09:45.379 --> 00:09:46.659
the<00:09:45.559><c> heart</c><00:09:45.720><c> maybe.</c>

00:09:47.580 --> 00:09:49.580
So<00:09:48.100><c> we</c><00:09:48.620><c> have</c><00:09:48.840><c> these</c><00:09:49.080><c> expressions.</c>

00:09:49.779 --> 00:09:56.500
Now<00:09:49.879><c> the</c><00:09:50.059><c> Hebrews</c><00:09:50.519><c> for</c><00:09:51.840><c> them</c><00:09:52.220><c> the</c><00:09:52.639><c> heart</c><00:09:53.659><c> enveloped</c><00:09:55.100><c> the</c><00:09:55.559><c> intelligence.</c>

00:09:56.700 --> 00:10:01.019
It<00:09:56.860><c> was</c><00:09:57.080><c> the</c><00:09:57.440><c> mind</c><00:09:58.139><c> as</c><00:09:59.399><c> well</c><00:09:59.740><c> as</c><00:10:00.139><c> the</c><00:10:00.700><c> emotion.</c>

00:10:01.100 --> 00:10:03.019
It<00:10:01.139><c> was</c><00:10:01.360><c> the</c><00:10:01.740><c> core</c><00:10:02.100><c> of</c><00:10:02.379><c> your</c><00:10:02.620><c> being.</c>

00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.679
It's<00:10:03.379><c> what</c><00:10:03.559><c> you</c><00:10:03.960><c> really</c><00:10:04.379><c> were</c><00:10:04.919><c> inside.</c>

00:10:05.820 --> 00:10:08.519
It's<00:10:06.039><c> not</c><00:10:06.220><c> what</c><00:10:06.419><c> you</c><00:10:06.580><c> could</c><00:10:06.779><c> say</c><00:10:07.039><c> oh</c><00:10:07.620><c> well</c><00:10:07.960><c> you</c><00:10:08.059><c> know</c><00:10:08.159><c> here's</c>

00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:09.279
the<00:10:08.740><c> exterior.</c>

00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:10.519
It's<00:10:09.559><c> what</c><00:10:09.740><c> you</c><00:10:09.960><c> really</c><00:10:10.259><c> were.</c>

00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.440
It's<00:10:10.720><c> when</c><00:10:10.919><c> all</c><00:10:11.179><c> the</c><00:10:11.360><c> lights</c><00:10:11.500><c> were</c><00:10:11.799><c> out</c><00:10:11.980><c> and</c><00:10:12.179><c> nobody</c><00:10:12.399><c> was</c><00:10:12.700><c> looking</c><00:10:13.039><c> but</c>

00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.039
you<00:10:13.679><c> really</c><00:10:14.139><c> are</c><00:10:14.419><c> as</c><00:10:14.620><c> a</c><00:10:14.759><c> person.</c>

00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:16.600
That's<00:10:15.320><c> your</c><00:10:15.559><c> heart.</c>

00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:19.179
The<00:10:17.200><c> inward</c><00:10:17.779><c> man.</c>

00:10:20.620 --> 00:10:26.120
And<00:10:20.899><c> Jeremiah</c><00:10:21.399><c> says</c><00:10:21.860><c> that</c><00:10:23.220><c> the</c><00:10:23.639><c> heart</c><00:10:23.860><c> of</c><00:10:24.039><c> the</c><00:10:24.179><c> people</c><00:10:24.679><c> was</c><00:10:25.559><c> what</c><00:10:25.899><c> in</c>

00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:27.759
Jeremiah<00:10:26.519><c> 17?</c>

00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:31.799
Deceitful<00:10:28.399><c> above</c><00:10:28.659><c> all</c><00:10:29.080><c> things</c><00:10:29.379><c> and</c><00:10:30.019><c> desperately</c><00:10:30.659><c> wicked.</c>

00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:36.379
Alright<00:10:32.460><c> so</c><00:10:32.600><c> that</c><00:10:32.799><c> was</c><00:10:33.059><c> his</c><00:10:33.360><c> indictment</c><00:10:33.899><c> upon</c><00:10:34.519><c> the</c><00:10:34.919><c> people</c><00:10:35.200><c> of</c><00:10:36.120><c> Judah.</c>

00:10:36.820 --> 00:10:39.480
And<00:10:37.039><c> of</c><00:10:37.220><c> course</c><00:10:37.379><c> we</c><00:10:37.559><c> take</c><00:10:37.779><c> that</c><00:10:38.080><c> as</c><00:10:38.320><c> a</c><00:10:38.559><c> principle</c><00:10:38.879><c> don't</c><00:10:39.200><c> we?</c>

00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.799
And<00:10:39.879><c> we</c><00:10:40.120><c> recognize</c><00:10:40.740><c> that</c><00:10:41.039><c> that's</c><00:10:41.379><c> really</c><00:10:41.740><c> what</c><00:10:41.960><c> the</c><00:10:42.340><c> natural</c>

00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:44.360
man<00:10:43.179><c> is</c><00:10:43.799><c> isn't</c><00:10:44.019><c> it?</c>

00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:48.240
The<00:10:44.600><c> natural</c><00:10:45.080><c> man</c><00:10:45.639><c> is</c><00:10:46.159><c> deceitful</c><00:10:46.840><c> above</c><00:10:47.059><c> all</c><00:10:47.460><c> things</c><00:10:47.840><c> and</c>

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:49.019
desperately<00:10:48.720><c> wicked.</c>

00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.340
Who<00:10:49.240><c> can</c><00:10:49.500><c> know</c><00:10:49.679><c> it?</c>

00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.399
God<00:10:52.460><c> can</c><00:10:52.759><c> know</c><00:10:52.940><c> it.</c>

00:10:56.059 --> 00:11:00.340
So<00:10:56.059><c> Jeremiah</c><00:10:56.980><c> constantly</c><00:10:58.360><c> indicted</c><00:10:59.700><c> the</c><00:10:59.980><c> people.</c>

00:11:00.740 --> 00:11:03.980
He<00:11:01.039><c> constantly</c><00:11:01.620><c> showed</c><00:11:02.220><c> the</c><00:11:02.480><c> people</c><00:11:02.980><c> where</c><00:11:03.379><c> they</c><00:11:03.539><c> were</c><00:11:03.740><c> wrong</c>

00:11:03.980 --> 00:11:05.720
because<00:11:04.340><c> they</c><00:11:04.519><c> were</c><00:11:04.799><c> hypocritical.</c>

00:11:06.100 --> 00:11:09.179
He<00:11:06.340><c> said</c><00:11:06.480><c> they</c><00:11:06.779><c> served</c><00:11:07.320><c> me</c><00:11:07.980><c> but</c><00:11:08.480><c> faintedly.</c>

00:11:09.419 --> 00:11:11.860
It<00:11:09.879><c> was</c><00:11:10.179><c> an</c><00:11:10.480><c> outward</c><00:11:10.840><c> show.</c>

00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:18.820
So<00:11:13.279><c> the</c><00:11:13.519><c> lesson</c><00:11:13.919><c> for</c><00:11:14.179><c> us</c><00:11:14.360><c> I</c><00:11:14.460><c> think</c><00:11:14.639><c> is</c><00:11:14.820><c> very</c><00:11:15.240><c> plain</c><00:11:15.620><c> that</c><00:11:16.720><c> if</c><00:11:18.600><c> we</c>

00:11:18.820 --> 00:11:21.220

This<00:14:23.700><c> is</c><00:14:23.940><c> the</c><00:14:24.159><c> first</c><00:14:24.399><c> commandment,</c><00:14:25.519><c> and</c><00:14:25.679><c> the</c><00:14:25.919><c> second</c><00:14:26.179><c> is</c><00:14:26.460><c> like</c>

00:14:26.659 --> 00:14:30.279
namely<00:14:27.039><c> this,</c><00:14:27.480><c> thou</c><00:14:27.720><c> shalt</c><00:14:28.019><c> love</c><00:14:28.399><c> thy</c><00:14:28.679><c> neighbor</c><00:14:29.039><c> as</c><00:14:29.460><c> thyself.</c>

00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.620
There<00:14:30.899><c> is</c><00:14:31.100><c> none</c><00:14:31.340><c> other</c><00:14:31.580><c> commandment</c><00:14:32.240><c> greater</c><00:14:32.639><c> than</c><00:14:33.240><c> these.</c>

00:14:33.620 --> 00:14:40.139
Let<00:14:34.659><c> me</c><00:14:35.519><c> see</c><00:14:35.659><c> if</c><00:14:35.779><c> I</c><00:14:35.899><c> can</c><00:14:36.200><c> find</c><00:14:36.519><c> a</c><00:14:38.120><c> transparency</c><00:14:38.620><c> to</c><00:14:38.879><c> write</c><00:14:39.120><c> on</c><00:14:39.320><c> here.</c>

00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:49.419
Alright,<00:14:46.360><c> so</c><00:14:46.980><c> what</c><00:14:47.460><c> does</c><00:14:47.659><c> the</c><00:14:47.820><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:14:48.379><c> record</c><00:14:48.799><c> say</c><00:14:49.120><c> for</c>

us<00:14:49.539><c> here?</c>

00:14:50.860 --> 00:15:02.759
Thou<00:14:51.759><c> shalt</c><00:14:54.679><c> love</c><00:14:58.980><c> the</c><00:14:59.139><c> Lord</c><00:14:59.360><c> thy</c><00:14:59.639><c> God</c><00:15:00.100><c> with</c><00:15:01.539><c> what?</c>

00:15:05.100 --> 00:15:05.940
Heart.

00:15:13.179 --> 00:15:13.399
What?

00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:15.059
Might.

00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:22.860
Not<00:15:21.519><c> mine.</c>

00:15:23.179 --> 00:15:24.519
Deuteronomy.

00:15:27.820 --> 00:15:28.960
Deuteronomy.

00:15:29.779 --> 00:15:35.360
So<00:15:30.000><c> it</c><00:15:30.100><c> says</c><00:15:30.480><c> all</c><00:15:30.860><c> the</c><00:15:31.120><c> heart,</c><00:15:32.500><c> the</c><00:15:32.759><c> soul,</c><00:15:34.179><c> and</c><00:15:34.419><c> the</c><00:15:34.580><c> might.</c>

00:15:36.419 --> 00:15:40.360
Alright,<00:15:36.740><c> what</c><00:15:36.820><c> does</c><00:15:37.480><c> the</c><00:15:37.759><c> record</c><00:15:38.100><c> in</c><00:15:39.220><c> Mark</c><00:15:39.500><c> say?</c>

00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.100
It<00:15:42.559><c> says</c><00:15:42.960><c> all</c><00:15:43.360><c> the</c><00:15:43.620><c> what</c><00:15:43.740><c> now?</c>

00:15:45.700 --> 00:15:54.200
Heart,<00:15:47.500><c> soul,</c><00:15:49.559><c> mind,</c><00:15:53.100><c> and</c><00:15:53.139><c> what</c><00:15:53.340><c> else?</c>

00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:55.480
Strength.

00:15:59.379 --> 00:16:01.740
Alright,<00:15:59.519><c> so</c><00:15:59.679><c> in</c><00:15:59.820><c> the</c><00:15:59.919><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:16:00.419><c> record</c><00:16:00.720><c> we</c><00:16:00.860><c> have</c><00:16:01.179><c> three</c>

00:16:01.740 --> 00:16:03.620
things<00:16:02.179><c> here,</c><00:16:02.419><c> don't</c><00:16:02.600><c> we?</c>

00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.919
In<00:16:04.879><c> the</c><00:16:05.399><c> Mark</c><00:16:05.620><c> record</c><00:16:06.259><c> we</c><00:16:07.720><c> have</c><00:16:07.960><c> something</c><00:16:08.259><c> else,</c><00:16:08.620><c> don't</c><00:16:08.779><c> we?</c>

00:16:08.980 --> 00:16:12.440
We<00:16:09.080><c> have</c><00:16:09.360><c> four</c><00:16:09.679><c> things,</c><00:16:10.159><c> heart,</c><00:16:10.419><c> soul,</c><00:16:10.740><c> mind,</c><00:16:11.139><c> and</c><00:16:11.399><c> strength.</c>

00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:18.759
This<00:16:14.559><c> is</c><00:16:14.700><c> sort</c><00:16:14.899><c> of</c><00:16:14.940><c> an</c><00:16:15.159><c> interesting</c><00:16:15.480><c> thing,</c><00:16:15.759><c> I</c><00:16:15.879><c> think,</c><00:16:16.179><c> in</c><00:16:16.940><c> terms</c><00:16:17.440><c> of</c>

00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:21.840
what<00:16:19.200><c> might</c><00:16:19.539><c> is</c><00:16:20.039><c> here.</c>

00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:24.519
What<00:16:24.000><c> is</c><00:16:24.320><c> might?</c>

00:16:24.940 --> 00:16:28.200
It's<00:16:25.500><c> every</c><00:16:26.039><c> resource</c><00:16:26.799><c> that</c><00:16:27.000><c> we</c><00:16:27.139><c> can</c><00:16:27.399><c> draw</c><00:16:27.720><c> on</c><00:16:27.960><c> something,</c>

00:16:28.299 --> 00:16:31.659
doing<00:16:28.580><c> something</c><00:16:29.139><c> mightily,</c><00:16:30.879><c> right?</c>

00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:35.080
And<00:16:32.740><c> we</c><00:16:32.940><c> talked</c><00:16:33.200><c> about</c><00:16:33.419><c> what</c><00:16:33.600><c> the</c><00:16:33.879><c> heart</c><00:16:34.100><c> was.</c>

00:16:35.139 --> 00:16:38.440
The<00:16:35.379><c> soul</c><00:16:36.019><c> is</c><00:16:36.840><c> the</c><00:16:37.059><c> natural</c><00:16:37.440><c> person,</c><00:16:38.159><c> isn't</c><00:16:38.279><c> it?</c>

00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:43.980
It's<00:16:39.139><c> our</c><00:16:39.899><c> bodies,</c><00:16:41.899><c> it's</c><00:16:42.179><c> our</c><00:16:42.539><c> natural</c><00:16:43.039><c> being.</c>

00:16:44.419 --> 00:16:47.919
We<00:16:44.539><c> know</c><00:16:44.720><c> what</c><00:16:44.879><c> our</c><00:16:45.080><c> minds</c><00:16:45.480><c> are,</c><00:16:46.360><c> we</c><00:16:46.639><c> know</c><00:16:46.860><c> about</c><00:16:47.159><c> the</c><00:16:47.399><c> strength.</c>

00:16:48.419 --> 00:16:53.779
So<00:16:48.679><c> really</c><00:16:48.879><c> what's</c><00:16:49.179><c> being</c><00:16:49.519><c> said</c><00:16:49.799><c> here</c><00:16:50.419><c> is</c><00:16:50.960><c> that</c><00:16:51.419><c> the</c><00:16:52.279><c> might</c><00:16:52.740><c> of</c>

00:16:53.779 --> 00:16:57.240
the<00:16:54.039><c> heart</c><00:16:54.639><c> is</c><00:16:55.980><c> the</c><00:16:56.220><c> mind.</c>

00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:02.840
The<00:16:59.159><c> might</c><00:16:59.600><c> of</c><00:17:00.039><c> our</c><00:17:00.340><c> souls</c><00:17:00.840><c> is</c><00:17:01.580><c> our</c><00:17:01.799><c> strength.</c>

00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.380
So<00:17:03.679><c> it</c><00:17:04.380><c> encompasses</c><00:17:04.940><c> everything.</c>

00:17:06.460 --> 00:17:11.519
What<00:17:06.660><c> Jesus</c><00:17:07.019><c> is</c><00:17:07.240><c> saying</c><00:17:07.440><c> here</c><00:17:07.740><c> is</c><00:17:07.900><c> that</c><00:17:08.220><c> everything,</c><00:17:10.200><c> that</c><00:17:10.359><c> the</c><00:17:10.839><c> might</c><00:17:11.279><c> or</c>

00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:15.640
the<00:17:11.920><c> strength</c><00:17:12.180><c> of</c><00:17:12.359><c> your</c><00:17:12.579><c> heart</c><00:17:13.000><c> is</c><00:17:13.680><c> encompassed</c><00:17:14.180><c> in</c><00:17:14.339><c> your</c><00:17:14.599><c> mind.</c>

00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:20.220
And<00:17:16.680><c> the</c><00:17:16.940><c> might</c><00:17:17.160><c> and</c><00:17:17.619><c> strength</c><00:17:18.019><c> here</c><00:17:18.400><c> of</c><00:17:18.640><c> your</c><00:17:18.920><c> soul</c><00:17:19.339><c> is</c><00:17:19.960><c> in</c>

00:17:20.220 --> 00:17:21.539
the<00:17:20.380><c> natural</c><00:17:20.759><c> strength</c><00:17:21.079><c> that</c><00:17:21.259><c> you</c><00:17:21.420><c> have.</c>

00:17:21.539 --> 00:17:31.579
So<00:17:21.779><c> everything</c><00:17:22.619><c> is</c><00:17:24.599><c> concentrated</c><00:17:25.519><c> on</c><00:17:26.859><c> doing</c><00:17:27.279><c> the</c><00:17:28.660><c> will</c><00:17:28.900><c> of</c><00:17:29.119><c> God</c><00:17:29.519><c> and</c><00:17:29.799><c> the</c><00:17:30.079><c> service</c><00:17:30.400><c> of</c><00:17:30.599><c> God.</c>

00:17:31.660 --> 00:17:35.819
So<00:17:31.799><c> again,</c><00:17:32.619><c> it</c><00:17:32.680><c> gets</c><00:17:32.940><c> to</c><00:17:33.160><c> that</c><00:17:33.339><c> whole</c><00:17:34.099><c> aspect</c><00:17:34.680><c> of</c><00:17:35.019><c> every</c><00:17:35.480><c> part</c>

00:17:35.819 --> 00:17:37.000
of<00:17:36.039><c> you.</c>

00:17:37.220 --> 00:17:42.700
Not<00:17:37.480><c> just</c><00:17:37.779><c> a</c><00:17:38.180><c> single</c><00:17:38.920><c> little</c><00:17:39.519><c> sliver</c><00:17:40.079><c> do</c><00:17:40.500><c> I</c><00:17:40.619><c> give</c><00:17:40.819><c> to</c><00:17:41.059><c> God,</c><00:17:42.440><c> but</c>

00:17:42.700 --> 00:17:44.299
he<00:17:42.839><c> wants</c><00:17:43.059><c> it</c><00:17:43.319><c> all.</c>

00:17:45.700 --> 00:17:48.519
And<00:17:46.039><c> this</c><00:17:46.200><c> is</c><00:17:46.420><c> something</c><00:17:46.640><c> that</c><00:17:46.819><c> the</c><00:17:47.019><c> natural</c><00:17:47.319><c> man</c><00:17:47.599><c> rebels</c><00:17:47.980><c> against.</c>

00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:53.700
We<00:17:49.279><c> all</c><00:17:49.900><c> want</c><00:17:50.359><c> to</c><00:17:50.640><c> reserve</c><00:17:51.019><c> a</c><00:17:51.220><c> little</c><00:17:51.440><c> part</c><00:17:51.680><c> of</c><00:17:51.859><c> ourselves</c><00:17:52.420><c> just</c><00:17:53.299><c> for</c>

00:17:53.700 --> 00:17:54.819
ourselves,<00:17:54.220><c> don't</c><00:17:54.480><c> we?</c>

00:17:55.140 --> 00:17:56.680
Or<00:17:55.299><c> maybe</c><00:17:55.539><c> a</c><00:17:55.759><c> lot.</c>

00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:01.619
Okay,<00:17:58.599><c> Sunday</c><00:17:58.859><c> I'll</c><00:17:59.059><c> give</c><00:17:59.240><c> a</c><00:17:59.279><c> little</c><00:17:59.539><c> bit</c><00:17:59.700><c> over</c><00:17:59.940><c> here</c><00:18:00.160><c> to</c><00:18:00.299><c> the</c><00:18:00.519><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:18:02.259 --> 00:18:06.339
But<00:18:02.500><c> the</c><00:18:02.619><c> rest</c><00:18:02.859><c> of</c><00:18:03.079><c> the</c><00:18:03.160><c> time,</c><00:18:04.220><c> look,</c><00:18:04.680><c> I</c><00:18:05.539><c> have</c><00:18:05.779><c> a</c><00:18:05.859><c> lot</c><00:18:06.019><c> of</c><00:18:06.180><c> other</c>

00:18:06.339 --> 00:18:08.619
things<00:18:06.579><c> that</c><00:18:06.759><c> I</c><00:18:06.859><c> want</c><00:18:07.000><c> to</c><00:18:07.160><c> do</c><00:18:07.240><c> for</c><00:18:07.460><c> me.</c>

00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:13.619

00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:18.480
But<00:18:17.200><c> that's</c><00:18:17.539><c> not</c><00:18:17.720><c> what</c><00:18:17.839><c> God</c><00:18:18.119><c> wants.</c>

00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.420

00:18:31.299 --> 00:18:36.480
Now<00:18:31.480><c> let's</c><00:18:31.700><c> look</c><00:18:31.980><c> at</c><00:18:32.559><c> Jeremiah</c><00:18:33.019><c> chapter</c><00:18:33.539><c> 9,</c><00:18:34.000><c> a</c><00:18:34.440><c> brilliant</c><00:18:34.799><c> passage</c><00:18:35.299><c> here,</c><00:18:35.660><c> just</c><00:18:35.900><c> an</c>

00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:59.720
And<00:18:56.400><c> thus</c><00:18:56.660><c> saith</c><00:18:56.920><c> Yahweh,</c><00:18:57.539><c> Let</c><00:18:57.720><c> not</c><00:18:58.039><c> the</c><00:18:58.299><c> wise</c><00:18:58.640><c> man</c><00:18:58.940><c> glory</c><00:18:59.500><c> in</c>

00:19:29.900 --> 00:19:34.440
For<00:19:30.059><c> in</c><00:19:30.359><c> these</c><00:19:30.720><c> things</c><00:19:31.119><c> I</c><00:19:31.559><c> delight</c><00:19:32.380><c> saith</c><00:19:33.259><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:46.039
This<00:19:35.960><c> was</c><00:19:36.259><c> the</c><00:19:36.619><c> very</c><00:19:37.160><c> thing</c><00:19:38.240><c> that</c><00:19:41.119><c> Josiah,</c><00:19:43.880><c> why</c><00:19:44.240><c> God</c><00:19:44.759><c> loved</c><00:19:45.259><c> Josiah,</c>

00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:50.579
because<00:19:46.799><c> Josiah</c><00:19:47.559><c> reflected</c><00:19:48.500><c> those</c><00:19:49.039><c> qualities</c><00:19:49.640><c> of</c><00:19:50.059><c> character</c>

00:19:55.759 --> 00:20:00.559
Let's<00:19:55.900><c> look</c><00:19:56.119><c> at</c><00:19:56.220><c> Jeremiah</c><00:19:56.640><c> 22,</c><00:19:57.160><c> 16.</c><00:19:57.660><c> Hold</c><00:19:57.839><c> your</c><00:19:58.079><c> place</c><00:19:58.500><c> in</c><00:19:58.740><c> that</c><00:19:59.619><c> other</c><00:19:59.859><c> reference</c><00:20:00.160><c> just</c><00:20:00.359><c> for</c>

a<00:20:00.660><c> minute.</c>

00:20:00.859 --> 00:20:06.440
And<00:20:00.960><c> let's</c><00:20:01.119><c> look</c><00:20:01.339><c> over</c><00:20:01.519><c> at</c><00:20:01.680><c> 22,</c><00:20:02.119><c> 16.</c><00:20:05.519><c> Actually</c><00:20:05.839><c> it's</c><00:20:06.119><c> back</c><00:20:06.279><c> up</c>

00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:07.539
to<00:20:06.559><c> 15.</c>

00:20:07.859 --> 00:20:12.440
And<00:20:08.279><c> this</c><00:20:08.700><c> is</c><00:20:09.460><c> a</c><00:20:09.799><c> judgment</c><00:20:10.079><c> against</c><00:20:10.799><c> one</c><00:20:11.279><c> of</c><00:20:11.579><c> Josiah's</c><00:20:12.240><c> sons.</c>

00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:18.779
But<00:20:12.799><c> anyway,</c><00:20:13.279><c> here's</c><00:20:13.500><c> what</c><00:20:14.200><c> Jeremiah</c><00:20:14.619><c> says,</c><00:20:15.000><c> Shalt</c><00:20:15.359><c> thou</c><00:20:15.599><c> reign</c><00:20:15.960><c> because</c><00:20:16.359><c> thou</c><00:20:16.700><c> closest</c><00:20:17.200><c> thyself</c><00:20:17.759><c> in</c><00:20:18.079><c> cedar?</c>

Didst<00:20:19.380><c> not</c><00:20:19.539><c> thy</c><00:20:19.799><c> father,</c><00:20:20.299><c> that</c><00:20:20.460><c> is</c><00:20:20.660><c> Josiah,</c><00:20:21.259><c> eat</c><00:20:21.640><c> and</c><00:20:21.920><c> drink</c>

00:20:22.339 --> 00:20:24.759
and<00:20:22.880><c> do</c><00:20:23.180><c> judgment</c><00:20:23.759><c> and</c><00:20:24.200><c> justice,</c>

00:20:24.980 --> 00:20:29.000
and<00:20:25.339><c> then</c><00:20:25.500><c> it</c><00:20:25.720><c> was</c><00:20:25.960><c> well</c><00:20:26.259><c> with</c><00:20:26.460><c> him?</c><00:20:27.359><c> He</c><00:20:27.900><c> judges</c><00:20:28.240><c> the</c><00:20:28.519><c> cause</c><00:20:28.859><c> of</c>

00:20:29.980 --> 00:20:34.819
then<00:20:30.099><c> it</c><00:20:30.279><c> was</c><00:20:30.579><c> well</c><00:20:30.900><c> with</c><00:20:31.140><c> him.</c><00:20:31.859><c> Was</c><00:20:32.099><c> not</c><00:20:32.460><c> this</c><00:20:32.839><c> to</c><00:20:33.259><c> know</c><00:20:33.539><c> me,</c>

00:20:37.779 --> 00:20:41.660
Was<00:20:38.619><c> not</c><00:20:39.019><c> this</c><00:20:39.240><c> to</c><00:20:39.640><c> know</c><00:20:40.019><c> me?</c>

00:20:45.420 --> 00:20:49.680
Let's<00:20:46.099><c> look</c><00:20:46.380><c> at</c><00:20:46.819><c> John</c><00:20:47.140><c> chapter</c><00:20:47.539><c> 17.</c>

00:20:54.640 --> 00:21:00.720
The<00:20:54.880><c> very</c><00:20:55.299><c> same</c><00:20:56.660><c> principle</c><00:20:57.420><c> the</c><00:20:58.420><c> Master</c><00:20:58.940><c> tells</c><00:20:59.319><c> his</c><00:20:59.579><c> disciples</c><00:21:00.160><c> in</c><00:21:00.440><c> John</c>

00:21:03.059 --> 00:21:07.859
And<00:21:03.180><c> this</c><00:21:03.640><c> is</c><00:21:04.059><c> life</c><00:21:04.420><c> eternal,</c><00:21:06.359><c> that</c><00:21:06.519><c> thou</c><00:21:06.700><c> might</c><00:21:07.039><c> know</c><00:21:07.480><c> thee</c>

00:21:35.019 --> 00:21:39.880
And<00:21:35.140><c> we</c><00:21:35.220><c> can</c><00:21:35.920><c> certainly</c><00:21:36.859><c> illustrate</c><00:21:38.599><c> this</c><00:21:38.900><c> in</c><00:21:39.200><c> a</c><00:21:39.220><c> very</c><00:21:39.579><c> simple</c>

00:21:50.539 --> 00:21:56.599

00:29:05.859 --> 00:29:10.640
Now<00:29:06.420><c> our</c><00:29:06.660><c> relationship</c><00:29:07.299><c> with</c><00:29:07.559><c> God</c><00:29:08.059><c> is</c><00:29:09.440><c> not</c><00:29:09.720><c> based</c><00:29:10.079><c> on</c><00:29:10.319><c> meeting</c>

Oh,<00:29:14.880><c> certainly</c><00:29:15.220><c> there</c><00:29:15.519><c> are</c><00:29:15.880><c> things</c><00:29:16.180><c> that</c><00:29:16.420><c> we</c><00:29:16.539><c> need</c><00:29:16.740><c> to</c><00:29:16.960><c> do,</c>

00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:26.299
But<00:29:20.619><c> we</c><00:29:20.819><c> cannot</c><00:29:21.099><c> think</c><00:29:21.440><c> of</c><00:29:21.599><c> the</c><00:29:21.880><c> truth</c><00:29:22.400><c> as</c><00:29:23.940><c> meeting</c><00:29:24.640><c> legal</c><00:29:25.099><c> requirements</c><00:29:25.819><c> to</c>

00:29:30.740 --> 00:29:33.420

00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:43.579
That<00:29:41.119><c> is</c><00:29:41.400><c> not</c><00:29:41.779><c> what</c><00:29:42.039><c> the</c><00:29:42.279><c> truth</c><00:29:42.420><c> is</c><00:29:42.599><c> about.</c>

The<00:29:47.759><c> truth</c><00:29:47.960><c> is</c><00:29:48.220><c> about</c><00:29:48.579><c> selflessness.</c>

00:29:49.940 --> 00:29:59.920
The<00:29:50.119><c> truth</c><00:29:50.380><c> is</c><00:29:50.660><c> about</c><00:29:51.140><c> shaping</c><00:29:51.720><c> that</c><00:29:52.079><c> inner</c><00:29:52.319><c> man</c><00:29:52.720><c> to</c><00:29:52.980><c> be</c><00:29:53.220><c> conformed</c><00:29:54.559><c> to</c><00:29:54.759><c> the</c><00:29:55.039><c> image</c><00:29:56.019><c> of</c><00:29:58.579><c> Christ.</c>

00:30:01.220 --> 00:30:03.579
That's<00:30:01.740><c> what</c><00:30:01.900><c> the</c><00:30:02.160><c> truth</c><00:30:02.299><c> is</c><00:30:02.500><c> about.</c>

We<00:30:07.240><c> have</c><00:30:07.519><c> to</c><00:30:07.680><c> begin</c><00:30:07.940><c> to</c><00:30:08.240><c> see</c><00:30:08.480><c> things</c><00:30:08.839><c> through</c><00:30:09.160><c> God's</c><00:30:09.740><c> eyes,</c>

that<00:30:30.400><c> sword</c><00:30:30.680><c> would</c><00:30:30.900><c> come</c><00:30:31.140><c> out</c><00:30:31.420><c> and</c><00:30:31.779><c> probably</c><00:30:32.480><c> strike</c><00:30:33.019><c> you</c>

00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:37.579
Josiah<00:30:34.940><c> was</c><00:30:35.160><c> not</c><00:30:35.440><c> going</c><00:30:35.680><c> to</c><00:30:35.920><c> take</c><00:30:36.079><c> any</c><00:30:36.359><c> foolishness.</c>

Now,<00:30:59.920><c> as</c><00:31:00.059><c> we</c><00:31:00.240><c> said</c><00:31:00.400><c> before,</c><00:31:00.940><c> Josiah</c><00:31:01.740><c> sought</c><00:31:02.480><c> the</c><00:31:02.779><c> unity</c><00:31:03.099><c> of</c>

the<00:31:03.539><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:31:05.180 --> 00:31:08.920
He<00:31:05.319><c> wanted</c><00:31:05.660><c> to</c><00:31:06.119><c> purge</c><00:31:06.420><c> the</c><00:31:06.599><c> Ecclesia</c><00:31:07.079><c> of</c><00:31:07.299><c> its</c><00:31:07.599><c> idolatry.</c>

00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:13.039
He<00:31:09.160><c> wanted</c><00:31:09.440><c> to</c><00:31:09.599><c> go</c><00:31:09.859><c> out</c><00:31:10.099><c> and</c><00:31:10.299><c> to</c><00:31:10.579><c> bring</c><00:31:10.980><c> everyone</c><00:31:11.559><c> into</c><00:31:12.279><c> the</c><00:31:12.579><c> fold</c><00:31:12.819><c> of</c>

00:31:16.700 --> 00:31:19.519
Josiah<00:31:17.220><c> did</c><00:31:17.460><c> not</c><00:31:17.680><c> get</c><00:31:17.900><c> good</c><00:31:18.200><c> news</c><00:31:18.460><c> from</c><00:31:18.680><c> the</c><00:31:18.980><c> prophetess</c><00:31:19.359><c> when</c>

00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:20.619
he<00:31:19.819><c> sent</c><00:31:20.140><c> to</c><00:31:20.400><c> her</c>

00:31:20.619 --> 00:31:23.640
and<00:31:20.920><c> asked</c><00:31:21.200><c> what</c><00:31:21.519><c> the</c><00:31:21.740><c> fate</c><00:31:21.859><c> of</c><00:31:22.019><c> the</c><00:31:22.140><c> nation</c><00:31:22.380><c> would</c><00:31:22.619><c> be.</c>

So<00:31:25.059><c> what</c><00:31:25.240><c> was</c><00:31:25.440><c> the</c><00:31:25.599><c> point</c><00:31:25.759><c> of</c><00:31:26.119><c> continuing?</c>

00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:29.099
It<00:31:27.279><c> all</c><00:31:27.539><c> seemed</c><00:31:27.779><c> so</c><00:31:28.160><c> hopeless.</c>

00:31:29.140 --> 00:31:30.680
Why<00:31:29.400><c> did</c><00:31:29.579><c> he</c><00:31:29.759><c> bother?</c>

00:31:32.299 --> 00:31:35.140

00:31:37.859 --> 00:31:44.059
When<00:31:38.000><c> he</c><00:31:38.160><c> came</c><00:31:38.460><c> into</c><00:31:40.099><c> the</c><00:31:40.299><c> nation</c><00:31:40.779><c> preaching</c><00:31:42.059><c> his</c><00:31:42.440><c> message</c><00:31:42.819><c> to</c><00:31:43.059><c> them,</c>

00:31:45.099 --> 00:31:48.619

00:31:48.619 --> 00:31:52.900
After<00:31:48.960><c> he</c><00:31:49.099><c> fed</c><00:31:49.359><c> the</c><00:31:49.660><c> 5</c><00:31:49.920><c>,000,</c><00:31:50.759><c> they</c><00:31:51.059><c> wanted</c><00:31:51.319><c> to</c><00:31:51.519><c> make</c><00:31:51.700><c> him</c><00:31:51.900><c> king.</c>

00:31:53.660 --> 00:31:58.000
You<00:31:54.119><c> can</c><00:31:54.299><c> look</c><00:31:54.599><c> in</c><00:31:56.119><c> the</c><00:31:56.319><c> passage</c><00:31:56.740><c> in</c><00:31:57.099><c> John,</c>

And<00:38:53.780><c> if</c><00:38:53.860><c> we</c><00:38:54.079><c> think</c><00:38:54.280><c> everything</c><00:38:54.679><c> is</c><00:38:54.980><c> okay,</c>

00:38:57.340 --> 00:38:59.179

00:39:18.579 --> 00:39:21.400
What<00:39:18.719><c> is</c><00:39:18.960><c> it</c><00:39:19.179><c> that</c><00:39:19.340><c> I</c><00:39:19.460><c> need</c><00:39:19.659><c> to</c><00:39:19.800><c> do</c><00:39:20.019><c> to</c><00:39:20.199><c> be</c><00:39:20.579><c> at</c><00:39:20.840><c> harmony</c><00:39:21.159><c> and</c>

unity<00:39:21.679><c> with</c><00:39:21.900><c> myself?</c>

00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:25.440
That's<00:39:23.059><c> what's</c><00:39:23.320><c> called</c><00:39:23.619><c> integrity,</c><00:39:24.320><c> isn't</c><00:39:24.480><c> it?</c>

Am<00:39:41.539><c> I</c><00:39:41.719><c> enthusiastic?</c>

00:39:45.019 --> 00:39:47.880
Yeah,<00:39:45.679><c> I</c><00:39:46.019><c> go,</c><00:39:46.320><c> but</c><00:39:46.519><c> it's</c><00:39:47.219><c> kind</c><00:39:47.380><c> of</c><00:39:47.539><c> a</c><00:39:47.699><c> drag,</c>

00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:49.739
and<00:39:47.980><c> I</c><00:39:48.159><c> really</c><00:39:48.360><c> don't</c><00:39:48.460><c> want</c><00:39:48.579><c> to</c><00:39:48.619><c> go</c><00:39:48.760><c> to</c><00:39:48.840><c> Bible</c><00:39:49.139><c> class</c><00:39:49.440><c> because</c>

00:39:49.739 --> 00:39:51.760
it's<00:39:50.000><c> boring</c><00:39:50.400><c> and</c><00:39:50.900><c> all</c><00:39:51.280><c> that</c><00:39:51.460><c> sort</c><00:39:51.619><c> of</c><00:39:51.679><c> thing.</c>

00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:54.019

00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:03.719
Thirdly,<00:39:59.460><c> do</c><00:39:59.760><c> we</c><00:39:59.980><c> seek</c><00:40:00.320><c> the</c><00:40:00.739><c> unity</c><00:40:01.039><c> of</c><00:40:01.219><c> the</c><00:40:01.380><c> body</c><00:40:01.800><c> in</c><00:40:02.159><c> a</c><00:40:02.340><c> wider</c><00:40:02.599><c> sense?</c>

00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:08.119
Are<00:40:04.579><c> we</c><00:40:04.840><c> supportive</c><00:40:05.340><c> of</c><00:40:05.659><c> activities</c><00:40:06.260><c> that</c><00:40:06.980><c> promote</c><00:40:07.340><c> the</c><00:40:07.619><c> unity</c><00:40:07.940><c> of</c>

All<00:40:11.139><c> of</c><00:40:11.300><c> those</c><00:40:11.480><c> things</c><00:40:12.000><c> are</c><00:40:12.579><c> very</c><00:40:12.920><c> important</c><00:40:13.440><c> for</c><00:40:13.780><c> us,</c>

00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:20.559
We<00:40:18.659><c> made</c><00:40:18.900><c> reference</c><00:40:19.260><c> earlier,</c><00:40:19.579><c> and</c><00:40:19.679><c> let's</c><00:40:19.860><c> turn</c><00:40:20.059><c> back</c><00:40:20.280><c> again.</c>

00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:51.699
It's<00:40:51.280><c> there.</c>

00:44:26.170 --> 00:44:29.429
And<00:44:26.190><c> it</c><00:44:26.230><c> says</c><00:44:26.869><c> Josiah</c><00:44:27.409><c> disguised</c><00:44:27.989><c> himself</c><00:44:28.550><c> and</c><00:44:28.929><c> went</c><00:44:29.110><c> into</c>

battle<00:44:29.690><c> and</c><00:44:29.829><c> was</c><00:44:30.110><c> killed,</c>

00:44:30.929 --> 00:44:34.250
and<00:44:31.170><c> that</c><00:44:31.329><c> he</c><00:44:31.449><c> did</c><00:44:31.730><c> not</c><00:44:32.429><c> believe</c><00:44:33.389><c> Necho,</c>

00:44:34.650 --> 00:44:38.409
and<00:44:35.210><c> the</c><00:44:35.750><c> scripture</c><00:44:36.110><c> indicates</c><00:44:36.610><c> to</c><00:44:36.849><c> us</c><00:44:37.010><c> the</c><00:44:37.190><c> word</c><00:44:37.469><c> that</c><00:44:37.690><c> came</c>

00:44:42.590 --> 00:44:47.690
Now,<00:44:43.150><c> let</c><00:44:43.710><c> me</c><00:44:44.230><c> sort</c><00:44:44.429><c> of</c><00:44:45.269><c> give</c><00:44:45.590><c> you</c><00:44:45.869><c> both</c><00:44:46.630><c> sides</c><00:44:47.309><c> of</c><00:44:47.429><c> the</c><00:44:47.570><c> thing.</c>

00:44:47.769 --> 00:44:50.789
First<00:44:48.090><c> of</c><00:44:48.289><c> all,</c><00:44:49.510><c> there's</c><00:44:49.750><c> a</c><00:44:49.949><c> school</c><00:44:50.150><c> of</c><00:44:50.309><c> thought</c><00:44:50.449><c> that</c><00:44:50.630><c> says,</c>

00:44:50.969 --> 00:44:53.489
look,<00:44:51.269><c> Josiah,</c><00:44:51.750><c> here's</c><00:44:52.130><c> the</c><00:44:52.289><c> one</c><00:44:52.489><c> negative</c><00:44:52.829><c> in</c><00:44:52.989><c> his</c><00:44:53.269><c> life.</c>

00:44:53.489 --> 00:44:54.610
He<00:44:53.789><c> disguised</c><00:44:54.190><c> himself.</c>

00:44:54.690 --> 00:44:57.809
He<00:44:54.849><c> really</c><00:44:55.110><c> didn't</c><00:44:55.769><c> show</c><00:44:56.210><c> himself</c><00:44:56.610><c> as</c><00:44:56.889><c> king,</c>

00:44:58.610 --> 00:45:01.489
and<00:44:59.170><c> he</c><00:44:59.730><c> went</c><00:44:59.909><c> into</c><00:45:00.210><c> battle</c><00:45:00.469><c> when</c><00:45:00.650><c> he</c><00:45:00.949><c> shouldn't</c><00:45:01.230><c> have.</c>

00:45:01.489 --> 00:45:05.050
He<00:45:01.610><c> didn't</c><00:45:02.170><c> believe</c><00:45:02.949><c> what</c><00:45:03.250><c> Necho</c><00:45:03.510><c> was</c><00:45:03.750><c> telling</c><00:45:04.050><c> him.</c>

00:45:05.570 --> 00:45:10.090
And<00:45:05.809><c> it</c><00:45:06.150><c> does</c><00:45:06.409><c> indicate</c><00:45:06.909><c> to</c><00:45:07.150><c> us</c><00:45:07.369><c> that</c><00:45:07.869><c> the</c><00:45:08.110><c> word</c><00:45:08.449><c> did</c><00:45:09.090><c> come</c><00:45:09.710><c> to</c>

00:45:10.090 --> 00:45:11.110
Necho<00:45:10.369><c> through</c><00:45:10.710><c> God.</c>

00:45:11.570 --> 00:45:15.829
But<00:45:11.889><c> on</c><00:45:12.190><c> the</c><00:45:12.409><c> other</c><00:45:12.630><c> hand,</c><00:45:13.789><c> this,</c><00:45:14.510><c> I</c><00:45:14.929><c> believe,</c><00:45:15.309><c> is</c><00:45:15.449><c> the</c><00:45:15.570><c> more</c>

00:45:15.829 --> 00:45:17.690
likely<00:45:16.389><c> situation.</c>

00:45:19.250 --> 00:45:22.510
Yes,<00:45:19.889><c> providentially,</c><00:45:20.690><c> God</c><00:45:20.989><c> was</c><00:45:21.269><c> going</c><00:45:21.449><c> to</c><00:45:21.690><c> take</c><00:45:21.829><c> Josiah</c><00:45:22.329><c> out</c>

00:45:22.510 --> 00:45:23.710
of<00:45:22.630><c> the</c><00:45:22.789><c> way.</c>

00:45:23.809 --> 00:45:30.449
It<00:45:23.989><c> was</c><00:45:24.250><c> time</c><00:45:24.829><c> for</c><00:45:25.750><c> the</c><00:45:26.550><c> wrath</c><00:45:27.050><c> of</c><00:45:27.469><c> God</c><00:45:27.730><c> to</c><00:45:27.989><c> come</c><00:45:28.190><c> upon</c><00:45:28.909><c> the</c><00:45:29.570><c> Jews.</c>

00:45:30.889 --> 00:45:34.469
It<00:45:31.409><c> was</c><00:45:31.650><c> time</c><00:45:31.869><c> for</c><00:45:32.110><c> Josiah</c><00:45:32.489><c> to</c><00:45:32.690><c> pass</c><00:45:32.989><c> off</c><00:45:33.210><c> the</c><00:45:33.449><c> scene,</c>

00:45:35.150 --> 00:45:40.989
and<00:45:35.670><c> providentially</c><00:45:36.190><c> he</c><00:45:37.409><c> moved</c><00:45:38.449><c> Pharaoh</c><00:45:39.190><c> Necho</c><00:45:39.550><c> to</c><00:45:39.789><c> do</c><00:45:40.050><c> this.</c>

00:45:41.809 --> 00:45:45.530
But<00:45:42.030><c> I</c><00:45:42.130><c> don't</c><00:45:42.349><c> think</c><00:45:42.510><c> Pharaoh</c><00:45:42.869><c> Necho</c><00:45:43.210><c> had</c><00:45:43.449><c> any</c><00:45:44.190><c> private</c><00:45:44.590><c> pipeline</c><00:45:45.050><c> to</c><00:45:45.309><c> God</c>

00:45:45.530 --> 00:45:47.750
or<00:45:45.650><c> anything</c><00:45:45.969><c> like</c><00:45:46.289><c> that</c><00:45:46.489><c> that</c><00:45:46.590><c> he</c><00:45:46.869><c> actually</c><00:45:47.250><c> even</c><00:45:47.510><c> knew</c><00:45:47.650><c> it.</c>

00:45:47.869 --> 00:45:50.909
I<00:45:47.889><c> think</c><00:45:48.090><c> he</c><00:45:48.269><c> just,</c><00:45:49.010><c> you</c><00:45:49.150><c> know,</c><00:45:49.230><c> that</c><00:45:49.389><c> was</c><00:45:49.750><c> a</c><00:45:50.389><c> typical</c><00:45:50.650><c> thing</c>

00:45:50.909 --> 00:45:52.210
that<00:45:51.429><c> someone</c><00:45:51.690><c> might</c><00:45:51.949><c> say</c>

00:45:52.210 --> 00:45:54.050
is<00:45:52.510><c> sort</c><00:45:52.809><c> of</c><00:45:52.949><c> psychological</c><00:45:53.550><c> warfare.</c>

00:45:54.150 --> 00:45:55.130
That's<00:45:54.469><c> my</c><00:45:54.710><c> opinion.</c>

00:45:55.269 --> 00:45:57.230
You<00:45:55.510><c> can</c><00:45:55.690><c> take</c><00:45:55.849><c> it</c><00:45:55.949><c> for</c><00:45:56.090><c> what</c><00:45:56.250><c> it's</c><00:45:56.510><c> worth.</c>

00:45:57.530 --> 00:45:58.170
You<00:45:57.769><c> read</c><00:45:58.010><c> it.</c>

00:45:58.170 --> 00:45:59.449
You<00:45:58.349><c> decide</c><00:45:58.690><c> for</c><00:45:58.929><c> yourselves.</c>

00:45:59.449 --> 00:46:03.150
But<00:45:59.929><c> I</c><00:46:00.070><c> think</c><00:46:00.210><c> the</c><00:46:00.510><c> character</c><00:46:01.050><c> of</c><00:46:01.289><c> Josiah</c><00:46:01.849><c> is</c><00:46:02.150><c> one</c><00:46:02.409><c> that,</c>

00:46:03.170 --> 00:46:05.150
look,<00:46:03.309><c> he's</c><00:46:03.650><c> going</c><00:46:03.750><c> to</c><00:46:03.929><c> stand</c><00:46:04.170><c> up</c><00:46:04.349><c> for</c><00:46:04.510><c> his</c><00:46:04.809><c> people.</c>

00:46:05.570 --> 00:46:09.769
If<00:46:05.730><c> he</c><00:46:05.989><c> sees</c><00:46:06.429><c> a</c><00:46:07.130><c> threat</c><00:46:07.309><c> to</c><00:46:07.510><c> his</c><00:46:07.769><c> people</c><00:46:08.030><c> here,</c><00:46:09.070><c> he's</c><00:46:09.409><c> going</c><00:46:09.550><c> to</c>

00:46:09.769 --> 00:46:10.610
stand<00:46:09.989><c> in</c><00:46:10.170><c> the</c><00:46:10.349><c> breach.</c>

00:46:10.869 --> 00:46:12.929
He<00:46:10.989><c> doesn't</c><00:46:11.289><c> care</c><00:46:11.590><c> that</c><00:46:11.769><c> the</c><00:46:11.969><c> odds</c><00:46:12.170><c> are</c><00:46:12.389><c> impossible.</c>

00:46:13.309 --> 00:46:15.550
He's<00:46:13.690><c> going</c><00:46:13.849><c> to</c><00:46:14.550><c> stand</c><00:46:14.789><c> up</c><00:46:14.949><c> for</c><00:46:15.090><c> his</c><00:46:15.329><c> people.</c>

00:46:15.690 --> 00:46:16.989
He<00:46:15.849><c> died</c><00:46:16.210><c> for</c><00:46:16.429><c> his</c><00:46:16.690><c> country.</c>

00:46:17.090 --> 00:46:20.389
He<00:46:17.269><c> died</c><00:46:17.590><c> for</c><00:46:17.829><c> his</c><00:46:18.070><c> nation</c><00:46:18.409><c> because</c><00:46:18.849><c> he</c><00:46:19.409><c> loved</c><00:46:19.650><c> them.</c>

00:46:20.530 --> 00:46:23.150
And<00:46:20.670><c> I</c><00:46:20.809><c> think</c><00:46:20.969><c> he</c><00:46:21.289><c> understood</c><00:46:21.730><c> just</c><00:46:22.050><c> as</c><00:46:22.329><c> well.</c>

00:46:23.269 --> 00:46:24.530
He<00:46:23.750><c> knew</c><00:46:23.969><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:46:24.909 --> 00:46:27.510
He<00:46:25.090><c> probably</c><00:46:25.329><c> sat</c><00:46:25.489><c> down</c><00:46:25.710><c> and</c><00:46:25.769><c> had</c><00:46:25.949><c> many</c><00:46:26.289><c> conversations</c><00:46:26.909><c> with</c><00:46:27.130><c> Jeremiah.</c>

Jeremiah,<00:46:27.949><c> no</c><00:46:28.190><c> doubt,</c><00:46:28.449><c> told</c><00:46:28.590><c> him,</c><00:46:28.989><c> look,</c><00:46:29.309><c> this</c><00:46:29.510><c> people,</c><00:46:30.309><c> their</c><00:46:30.510><c> heart</c><00:46:30.750><c> is</c>

00:46:30.989 --> 00:46:32.130
not<00:46:31.230><c> right.</c>

00:46:32.889 --> 00:46:33.989
I<00:46:33.090><c> know</c><00:46:33.309><c> that,</c><00:46:33.550><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:46:34.650 --> 00:46:36.969
But<00:46:34.750><c> I</c><00:46:36.210><c> love</c><00:46:36.409><c> my</c><00:46:36.590><c> people.</c>

And<00:48:08.369><c> I</c><00:48:08.610><c> even</c><00:48:08.829><c> forgot</c><00:48:09.050><c> now,</c><00:48:11.489><c> David</c><00:48:12.610><c> did</c><00:48:12.809><c> you</c><00:48:12.949><c> ask</c><00:48:13.110><c> that</c><00:48:13.289><c> question?</c>

And<00:48:16.050><c> I</c><00:48:16.210><c> think</c><00:48:16.369><c> this</c><00:48:16.570><c> is</c><00:48:16.730><c> an</c><00:48:16.929><c> appropriate</c><00:48:17.230><c> time</c><00:48:17.590><c> to</c><00:48:18.110><c> talk</c><00:48:18.550><c> about</c><00:48:18.889><c> that</c>

00:48:25.210 --> 00:48:28.550

00:48:28.730 --> 00:48:32.849

00:48:33.489 --> 00:48:35.309
but<00:48:33.489><c> it</c><00:48:33.610><c> was</c><00:48:33.730><c> really</c><00:48:34.050><c> too</c><00:48:34.329><c> late.</c>

00:48:35.750 --> 00:48:38.710

00:48:38.849 --> 00:48:43.050
Then<00:48:38.969><c> we</c><00:48:39.250><c> have</c><00:48:39.849><c> bad</c><00:48:40.289><c> kings</c><00:48:40.650><c> after</c><00:48:41.070><c> him,</c><00:48:41.809><c> four</c><00:48:42.170><c> bad</c><00:48:42.510><c> kings.</c>

00:48:43.050 --> 00:48:50.590
And<00:48:43.989><c> essentially</c><00:48:45.130><c> it</c><00:48:45.329><c> was</c><00:48:45.550><c> about</c><00:48:45.909><c> 22</c><00:48:46.329><c> years</c><00:48:47.170><c> before</c><00:48:48.170><c> the</c><00:48:49.329><c> nation</c><00:48:49.789><c> of</c><00:48:50.289><c> Judah</c>

00:48:54.929 --> 00:49:00.309

and<00:49:25.670><c> I</c><00:49:25.789><c> think</c><00:49:25.989><c> we</c><00:49:26.210><c> can</c><00:49:27.090><c> turn</c><00:49:27.469><c> up</c><00:49:27.710><c> a</c><00:49:27.949><c> lot</c><00:49:28.269><c> of</c><00:49:28.570><c> scripture</c><00:49:28.909><c> about</c><00:49:29.269><c> this</c>

00:49:29.550 --> 00:49:32.269

00:49:32.269 --> 00:49:46.389
because<00:49:33.329><c> I</c><00:49:37.730><c> think</c><00:49:38.010><c> it</c><00:49:38.449><c> illustrates</c><00:49:40.309><c> the</c><00:49:40.630><c> fact</c><00:49:40.889><c> that</c><00:49:44.869><c> God</c><00:49:45.650><c> is</c><00:49:46.170><c> a</c>

00:49:54.070 --> 00:49:58.429
Now<00:49:54.230><c> this</c><00:49:54.369><c> is</c><00:49:55.349><c> what</c><00:49:55.530><c> Jeremiah</c><00:49:56.030><c> says</c><00:49:56.670><c> in</c><00:49:57.070><c> verse</c><00:49:57.349><c> 12.</c>

00:50:46.889 --> 00:50:50.909
Look<00:50:47.369><c> at</c><00:50:47.530><c> what</c><00:50:47.650><c> God</c><00:50:47.929><c> is</c><00:50:48.610><c> constantly</c><00:50:49.250><c> reaching</c><00:50:49.789><c> out</c><00:50:50.110><c> to</c><00:50:50.210><c> the</c><00:50:50.409><c> people</c>

00:50:55.889 --> 00:51:00.269
But<00:50:56.969><c> you've</c><00:50:57.329><c> got</c><00:50:57.550><c> to</c><00:50:57.769><c> acknowledge</c><00:50:58.489><c> your</c><00:50:58.829><c> iniquity</c>

00:51:02.849 --> 00:51:07.309
When<00:51:02.989><c> we</c><00:51:03.170><c> look</c><00:51:03.389><c> at</c><00:51:03.630><c> all</c><00:51:04.530><c> of</c><00:51:04.730><c> this,</c><00:51:05.769><c> the</c><00:51:06.030><c> basis</c><00:51:06.469><c> of</c><00:51:06.730><c> God</c><00:51:06.909><c> is</c><00:51:07.150><c> that</c>

00:51:11.150 --> 00:51:14.050
We<00:51:11.190><c> look</c><00:51:11.449><c> at</c><00:51:11.769><c> what</c><00:51:12.670><c> Brother</c><00:51:12.969><c> Dez</c><00:51:13.230><c> has</c><00:51:13.469><c> talked</c><00:51:13.670><c> about</c><00:51:13.889><c> it</c>

00:51:26.409 --> 00:51:32.570
Yet,<00:51:28.849><c> if</c><00:51:29.030><c> we</c><00:51:29.289><c> acknowledge</c><00:51:29.869><c> our</c><00:51:30.250><c> sin,</c><00:51:30.610><c> if</c><00:51:30.789><c> we</c><00:51:31.090><c> acknowledge</c><00:51:31.710><c> his</c><00:51:32.090><c> righteousness,</c>

00:51:35.429 --> 00:51:39.190
What<00:51:35.650><c> an</c><00:51:35.969><c> incredible</c><00:51:36.409><c> thing</c><00:51:36.690><c> that</c><00:51:36.969><c> is</c><00:51:37.449><c> when</c><00:51:37.670><c> we</c><00:51:38.429><c> recognize</c><00:51:38.969><c> this.</c>

00:51:39.210 --> 00:51:44.489
But<00:51:39.349><c> we</c><00:51:39.489><c> can't</c><00:51:39.730><c> come</c><00:51:39.989><c> to</c><00:51:40.090><c> God</c><00:51:40.809><c> with</c><00:51:42.329><c> any</c><00:51:42.630><c> pride,</c><00:51:43.050><c> with</c><00:51:43.230><c> any</c><00:51:43.550><c> arrogance.</c>

00:51:57.809 --> 00:52:02.449
Let's<00:51:58.010><c> look</c><00:51:58.269><c> over</c><00:51:58.530><c> to</c><00:51:59.210><c> the</c><00:51:59.349><c> passage,</c><00:52:00.070><c> I</c><00:52:00.989><c> guess</c><00:52:01.929><c> the</c><00:52:02.090><c> passage</c>

00:53:10.170 --> 00:53:15.989
We<00:53:10.289><c> see</c><00:53:10.510><c> Manasseh,</c><00:53:11.889><c> Ammon,</c><00:53:13.289><c> Josiah,</c><00:53:14.869><c> and</c><00:53:14.869><c> then</c><00:53:15.030><c> we</c><00:53:15.230><c> come</c><00:53:15.489><c> to,</c>

00:53:16.030 --> 00:53:18.110

00:53:18.570 --> 00:53:21.610
We<00:53:18.849><c> see</c><00:53:19.050><c> that</c><00:53:19.289><c> the</c><00:53:19.590><c> punishment</c><00:53:19.969><c> really</c><00:53:20.309><c> wasn't</c><00:53:20.710><c> coming</c><00:53:21.090><c> from</c>

00:53:25.409 --> 00:53:29.510
God<00:53:25.710><c> was</c><00:53:25.869><c> so</c><00:53:26.210><c> merciful</c><00:53:26.710><c> that</c><00:53:27.409><c> he</c><00:53:27.789><c> restrained</c><00:53:28.250><c> that</c><00:53:28.550><c> punishment.</c>

00:53:29.750 --> 00:53:32.269
And<00:53:29.849><c> when</c><00:53:29.969><c> we</c><00:53:30.090><c> look</c><00:53:30.289><c> at</c><00:53:30.449><c> the</c><00:53:30.650><c> history</c><00:53:30.989><c> of</c><00:53:31.190><c> the</c><00:53:31.409><c> kings,</c><00:53:31.750><c> for</c><00:53:31.929><c> example,</c>

00:53:32.289 --> 00:53:37.369
it's<00:53:33.210><c> an</c><00:53:33.409><c> incredibly</c><00:53:35.170><c> dark</c><00:53:35.610><c> history</c><00:53:35.989><c> in</c><00:53:36.150><c> many</c><00:53:36.349><c> respects,</c><00:53:36.969><c> isn't</c><00:53:37.070><c> it?</c>

00:53:54.929 --> 00:53:59.070
Ultimately,<00:53:56.429><c> though,</c><00:53:56.650><c> punishment</c><00:53:57.110><c> did</c><00:53:57.809><c> come</c><00:53:58.210><c> and</c><00:53:58.469><c> does</c><00:53:58.809><c> come.</c>

00:53:59.130 --> 00:54:03.309
Just<00:53:59.550><c> as</c><00:54:00.610><c> God</c><00:54:01.010><c> has</c><00:54:01.309><c> been</c><00:54:01.590><c> so</c><00:54:01.909><c> long</c><00:54:02.250><c>-suffering</c><00:54:02.650><c> and</c><00:54:02.869><c> merciful,</c>

00:54:08.449 --> 00:54:11.369
And<00:54:08.809><c> we</c><00:54:08.909><c> will</c><00:54:09.150><c> see</c><00:54:09.369><c> this</c><00:54:09.570><c> when</c><00:54:09.750><c> the</c><00:54:09.909><c> Lord</c><00:54:10.090><c> Jesus</c><00:54:10.550><c> Christ</c><00:54:10.809><c> returns</c>

00:54:19.489 --> 00:54:23.909
When<00:54:20.030><c> the</c><00:54:20.489><c> iniquity</c><00:54:21.130><c> of</c><00:54:21.289><c> this</c><00:54:21.590><c> earth</c><00:54:21.869><c> will</c><00:54:22.210><c> have</c><00:54:22.429><c> an</c><00:54:22.610><c> end.</c>

00:54:25.030 --> 00:54:27.570
But<00:54:25.130><c> God</c><00:54:25.349><c> is</c><00:54:25.650><c> merciful,</c><00:54:26.690><c> and</c><00:54:26.769><c> he</c><00:54:26.969><c> is</c><00:54:27.210><c> gracious,</c>

00:54:27.670 --> 00:54:31.750
and<00:54:27.829><c> he</c><00:54:28.030><c> is</c><00:54:28.349><c> not</c><00:54:28.849><c> punishing</c><00:54:29.369><c> in</c><00:54:29.909><c> the</c><00:54:30.030><c> case</c><00:54:30.349><c> of</c><00:54:30.550><c> Josiah's</c><00:54:31.289><c> generation.</c>

00:54:31.809 --> 00:54:34.489
He's<00:54:32.110><c> not</c><00:54:32.349><c> punishing</c><00:54:32.769><c> innocent</c><00:54:33.349><c> people.</c>
