00:02:53.580 --> 00:02:54.520
a<00:02:53.800><c> practical</c><00:02:54.159><c> way.</c>

00:02:54.740 --> 00:02:57.000
Now,<00:02:54.819><c> in</c><00:02:54.939><c> the</c><00:02:55.099><c> first</c><00:02:55.259><c> century,</c><00:02:55.740><c> as</c><00:02:55.900><c> I'm</c><00:02:56.099><c> sure</c><00:02:56.259><c> you</c><00:02:56.599><c> doubtless</c>

00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.439
know,<00:02:57.620><c> this</c><00:02:57.879><c> was</c><00:02:58.180><c> a</c><00:02:58.419><c> vital</c><00:02:58.759><c> thing,</c><00:02:59.319><c> hospitality.</c>

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.719
The<00:03:01.300><c> inns</c><00:03:01.919><c> were</c><00:03:02.580><c> notoriously</c><00:03:03.520><c> flea</c><00:03:04.099><c> infested.</c>

00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:06.479
Many<00:03:05.280><c> of</c><00:03:05.419><c> them</c><00:03:05.500><c> were</c><00:03:05.719><c> brothels.</c>

00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.439
And<00:03:07.000><c> as</c><00:03:07.219><c> such,</c><00:03:07.500><c> if</c><00:03:07.560><c> anybody</c><00:03:07.840><c> was</c><00:03:08.159><c> traveling</c><00:03:08.439><c> around</c><00:03:08.960><c> to</c><00:03:09.300><c> communicate</c><00:03:10.000><c> the</c>

00:03:15.180 --> 00:03:16.800
given<00:03:15.500><c> hospitality.</c>

00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.240
I<00:03:17.659><c> once</c><00:03:17.919><c> stayed</c><00:03:18.120><c> in</c><00:03:18.639><c> such</c><00:03:18.879><c> a</c><00:03:19.080><c> place,</c><00:03:19.280><c> not</c><00:03:19.520><c> quite</c><00:03:19.759><c> the</c><00:03:19.960><c> brothel,</c>

00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:23.560
but<00:03:20.439><c> certainly</c><00:03:20.759><c> the</c><00:03:21.000><c> flea</c><00:03:21.460><c> infested</c><00:03:21.979><c> place</c><00:03:22.340><c> in</c><00:03:22.919><c> Nigeria.</c>

00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.919
And<00:03:24.479><c> it</c><00:03:24.759><c> was</c><00:03:24.960><c> very</c><00:03:25.300><c> difficult</c><00:03:25.659><c> to</c><00:03:25.879><c> keep</c><00:03:26.039><c> yourself</c><00:03:26.400><c> clean.</c>

00:03:27.020 --> 00:03:28.979
There<00:03:27.159><c> was</c><00:03:27.319><c> only</c><00:03:27.560><c> cold</c><00:03:27.879><c> water</c><00:03:28.159><c> and</c><00:03:28.240><c> that</c><00:03:28.360><c> was</c><00:03:28.479><c> in</c><00:03:28.620><c> a</c><00:03:28.740><c> bucket.</c>

00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.699
And<00:03:29.479><c> I</c><00:03:29.659><c> well</c><00:03:29.819><c> remember</c><00:03:30.060><c> that</c><00:03:30.199><c> when</c><00:03:30.300><c> I</c><00:03:30.439><c> got</c><00:03:30.539><c> back</c><00:03:30.819><c> home</c><00:03:30.960><c> and</c><00:03:31.139><c> opened</c><00:03:31.419><c> my</c>

00:03:31.699 --> 00:03:35.379
suitcase,<00:03:32.819><c> Mary</c><00:03:33.020><c> said,</c><00:03:34.139><c> what's</c><00:03:34.580><c> that?</c>

00:03:35.310 --> 00:03:39.539
It<00:03:35.680><c> was</c><00:03:35.939><c> the</c><00:03:36.099><c> sheer</c><00:03:36.319><c> smell</c><00:03:36.800><c> that</c><00:03:37.039><c> came</c><00:03:37.300><c> emerging</c><00:03:37.879><c> out</c><00:03:38.180><c> of</c><00:03:38.300><c> the</c><00:03:38.500><c> suitcase.</c>

00:03:39.780 --> 00:03:42.020
And<00:03:40.039><c> that</c><00:03:40.219><c> was</c><00:03:40.419><c> the</c><00:03:40.479><c> situation</c><00:03:41.000><c> then</c><00:03:41.199><c> in</c><00:03:41.300><c> the</c><00:03:41.460><c> first</c><00:03:41.659><c> century</c>

00:03:42.020 --> 00:03:43.560
and<00:03:42.240><c> far</c><00:03:42.620><c> worse.</c>

00:03:44.379 --> 00:03:48.259
So<00:03:44.759><c> the</c><00:03:45.120><c> apostle</c><00:03:45.419><c> is</c><00:03:45.639><c> making</c><00:03:45.939><c> a</c><00:03:46.300><c> powerful</c><00:03:47.000><c> practical</c><00:03:47.719><c> point,</c>

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.780
which<00:03:48.900><c> really</c><00:03:49.439><c> needs</c><00:03:49.979><c> no</c><00:03:50.580><c> further</c><00:03:51.039><c> demonstration.</c>

00:03:51.860 --> 00:03:53.680
But<00:03:52.039><c> now</c><00:03:52.240><c> look</c><00:03:52.379><c> what</c><00:03:52.539><c> he</c><00:03:52.719><c> adds.</c>

00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:59.939
Be<00:03:55.080><c> not</c><00:03:55.460><c> forgetful</c><00:03:56.039><c> to</c><00:03:56.300><c> entertain</c><00:03:56.819><c> strangers,</c><00:03:58.840><c> for</c><00:03:59.159><c> thereby</c>

00:03:59.939 --> 00:04:04.219
some<00:04:00.800><c> have</c><00:04:01.180><c> entertained</c><00:04:01.860><c> angels</c><00:04:02.740><c> unawares.</c>

00:04:04.180 --> 00:04:06.340
Now,<00:04:04.580><c> I</c><00:04:04.680><c> want</c><00:04:04.819><c> you</c><00:04:04.939><c> to</c><00:04:05.080><c> notice</c><00:04:05.319><c> that</c><00:04:05.520><c> the</c><00:04:05.659><c> apostle</c><00:04:05.939><c> therefore</c>

00:04:06.340 --> 00:04:12.280
is<00:04:06.819><c> suddenly</c><00:04:07.280><c> reaching</c><00:04:07.939><c> from</c><00:04:08.379><c> the</c><00:04:08.719><c> mundane</c><00:04:09.439><c> to</c><00:04:09.979><c> the</c><00:04:10.259><c> miraculous,</c><00:04:11.599><c> from</c><00:04:11.860><c> the</c>

everyday<00:04:12.800><c> to</c><00:04:13.800><c> that</c><00:04:14.039><c> which</c><00:04:14.319><c> belongs</c><00:04:14.939><c> to</c><00:04:15.319><c> the</c><00:04:15.520><c> realms</c><00:04:15.900><c> of</c><00:04:16.199><c> heaven.</c>

00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:23.019
There<00:04:17.420><c> is</c><00:04:17.660><c> an</c><00:04:17.899><c> outside</c><00:04:18.839><c> above</c><00:04:20.139><c> and</c><00:04:21.220><c> that</c><00:04:21.560><c> outside</c><00:04:22.379><c> seeks</c><00:04:22.740><c> to</c>

come<00:04:23.279><c> inside.</c>

00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.560
Of<00:04:24.319><c> course,</c><00:04:24.639><c> this</c><00:04:24.819><c> isn't</c><00:04:25.040><c> the</c><00:04:25.279><c> apostle's</c><00:04:25.879><c> first</c><00:04:26.100><c> reference</c>

00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.600
You<00:04:28.639><c> might</c><00:04:28.839><c> recall</c><00:04:29.180><c> if</c><00:04:29.360><c> you</c><00:04:29.819><c> just</c><00:04:30.079><c> let</c><00:04:30.220><c> your</c><00:04:30.439><c> mind</c><00:04:30.560><c> for</c><00:04:30.759><c> a</c><00:04:30.920><c> moment</c><00:04:31.160><c> roam</c>

00:04:35.579 --> 00:04:40.040
that<00:04:35.660><c> in</c><00:04:35.879><c> fact</c><00:04:36.040><c> the</c><00:04:36.220><c> apostle</c><00:04:36.620><c> starts</c><00:04:37.680><c> by</c><00:04:38.199><c> comparing</c><00:04:38.699><c> and</c><00:04:39.120><c> contrasting.</c>

00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.079
God,<00:04:40.399><c> who</c><00:04:40.459><c> in</c><00:04:40.639><c> times</c><00:04:40.920><c> past</c><00:04:41.259><c> spake</c><00:04:41.540><c> unto</c><00:04:41.720><c> the</c><00:04:41.980><c> fathers</c><00:04:42.300><c> by</c><00:04:42.819><c> the</c>

his<00:04:46.500><c> son,</c><00:04:46.800><c> remember.</c>

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.500
And<00:04:47.860><c> suddenly</c><00:04:48.060><c> you've</c><00:04:48.300><c> got</c><00:04:48.420><c> the</c><00:04:48.740><c> process</c><00:04:49.199><c> of</c><00:04:49.759><c> divine</c><00:04:50.199><c> revelation.</c>

00:04:51.660 --> 00:04:55.680
And<00:04:52.060><c> then</c><00:04:52.240><c> the</c><00:04:52.439><c> apostle</c><00:04:52.680><c> begins</c><00:04:53.060><c> that</c><00:04:53.480><c> comparison</c><00:04:54.100><c> and</c><00:04:54.600><c> contrast,</c><00:04:55.500><c> which</c>

00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:56.800
is<00:04:56.019><c> characteristic.</c>

00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:01.420
The<00:04:57.480><c> Lord</c><00:04:57.779><c> is</c><00:04:58.639><c> made</c><00:04:58.939><c> so</c><00:04:59.240><c> much</c><00:04:59.500><c> better</c><00:04:59.879><c> than</c><00:05:00.060><c> the</c><00:05:00.319><c> angels.</c>

00:05:02.300 --> 00:05:05.420
All<00:05:02.600><c> the</c><00:05:02.879><c> angels</c><00:05:03.139><c> of</c><00:05:03.379><c> God</c><00:05:03.579><c> are</c><00:05:03.800><c> to</c><00:05:04.019><c> worship</c><00:05:04.420><c> him.</c>

00:05:05.500 --> 00:05:08.379
He<00:05:05.560><c> makes</c><00:05:05.800><c> his</c><00:05:06.060><c> angels</c><00:05:06.319><c> spirits</c><00:05:06.839><c> and</c><00:05:07.259><c> his</c><00:05:07.560><c> ministers</c><00:05:07.879><c> a</c><00:05:08.199><c> flame</c>

of<00:05:08.699><c> fire.</c>

00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:15.079
But<00:05:09.639><c> the</c><00:05:10.040><c> sun,</c><00:05:11.079><c> well,</c><00:05:11.399><c> God</c><00:05:11.680><c> is</c><00:05:11.939><c> working</c><00:05:12.220><c> a</c><00:05:12.579><c> special</c><00:05:12.899><c> work</c><00:05:13.420><c> through</c><00:05:13.860><c> the</c><00:05:14.160><c> sun.</c>

00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:18.040
Then<00:05:15.360><c> he</c><00:05:15.459><c> begins</c><00:05:15.680><c> to</c><00:05:15.959><c> compare</c><00:05:16.180><c> the</c><00:05:16.399><c> work</c><00:05:16.579><c> at</c><00:05:16.980><c> Sinai.</c>

00:05:18.100 --> 00:05:20.779

00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.459
But<00:05:31.240><c> there's</c><00:05:31.579><c> the</c><00:05:31.779><c> comparison</c><00:05:32.279><c> in</c><00:05:32.680><c> Hebrews</c><00:05:33.019><c> 2.</c>

00:05:33.819 --> 00:05:38.120

00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.980
Heaven<00:06:48.339><c> suddenly</c><00:06:48.819><c> impacted</c><00:06:49.699><c> upon</c><00:06:50.379><c> earth.</c>

00:06:51.300 --> 00:06:56.120
God<00:06:51.620><c> reached</c><00:06:52.100><c> out</c><00:06:52.500><c> by</c><00:06:53.079><c> sending</c><00:06:53.579><c> a</c><00:06:54.000><c> messenger</c><00:06:54.480><c> and</c><00:06:55.459><c> making</c><00:06:55.740><c> it</c>

00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:20.500
In<00:07:17.120><c> heaven,</c><00:07:17.860><c> that</c><00:07:17.959><c> worship</c><00:07:18.279><c> is</c><00:07:18.560><c> constant,</c><00:07:19.639><c> continuous.</c>

00:07:20.579 --> 00:07:24.480
And<00:07:20.839><c> we</c><00:07:21.060><c> are</c><00:07:21.360><c> joining</c><00:07:21.639><c> our</c><00:07:22.139><c> praise</c><00:07:22.519><c> and</c><00:07:22.740><c> our</c><00:07:23.040><c> worship</c><00:07:23.459><c> to</c><00:07:24.160><c> the</c>

00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:47.240
Once<00:07:43.160><c> God</c><00:07:43.500><c> spoke</c><00:07:43.879><c> by</c><00:07:44.220><c> prophets,</c><00:07:45.139><c> now</c><00:07:45.519><c> he</c><00:07:45.740><c> has</c><00:07:46.040><c> spoken</c><00:07:46.300><c> by</c><00:07:46.579><c> his</c><00:07:46.860><c> son.</c>

00:07:47.699 --> 00:07:53.300
Once<00:07:48.019><c> God</c><00:07:48.360><c> communicated</c><00:07:49.160><c> through</c><00:07:49.639><c> angels,</c><00:07:51.199><c> now</c><00:07:51.680><c> he</c><00:07:52.199><c> communicates</c><00:07:52.879><c> by</c><00:07:53.120><c> the</c>

00:07:53.300 --> 00:07:54.540
son<00:07:53.439><c> of</c><00:07:53.560><c> his</c><00:07:53.759><c> love.</c>

00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.459
Once<00:07:55.120><c> there</c><00:07:55.399><c> was</c><00:07:55.600><c> Moses,</c><00:07:56.120><c> now</c><00:07:56.300><c> there's</c><00:07:56.519><c> a</c><00:07:56.680><c> greater</c><00:07:56.879><c> than</c><00:07:57.100><c> Moses.</c>

00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.100
Moses<00:07:58.120><c> was</c><00:07:58.319><c> in</c><00:07:58.560><c> the</c><00:07:58.680><c> house,</c><00:07:58.899><c> Christ</c><00:07:59.240><c> is</c><00:07:59.420><c> over</c><00:07:59.699><c> the</c><00:07:59.879><c> house.</c>

00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.439
Once<00:08:00.720><c> there</c><00:08:00.939><c> was</c><00:08:01.259><c> Joshua,</c><00:08:01.879><c> a</c><00:08:02.120><c> leader,</c><00:08:02.399><c> but</c><00:08:02.660><c> he</c><00:08:02.959><c> couldn't</c><00:08:03.220><c> give</c>

00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:04.000
them<00:08:03.620><c> rest.</c>

00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:06.579
But<00:08:04.620><c> now</c><00:08:04.860><c> the</c><00:08:05.019><c> Lord</c><00:08:05.220><c> Jesus</c><00:08:05.519><c> has</c><00:08:05.800><c> brought</c><00:08:06.019><c> that</c><00:08:06.360><c> rest.</c>

00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:10.000
Once<00:08:06.959><c> there</c><00:08:07.180><c> was</c><00:08:07.339><c> a</c><00:08:07.600><c> priesthood</c><00:08:08.180><c> that</c><00:08:08.459><c> came</c><00:08:08.660><c> out</c><00:08:08.839><c> of</c><00:08:08.959><c> the</c><00:08:09.100><c> loins</c><00:08:09.360><c> of</c><00:08:09.639><c> Levi.</c>

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:13.060
Now<00:08:10.439><c> there</c><00:08:10.860><c> is</c><00:08:11.079><c> a</c><00:08:11.399><c> superior</c><00:08:12.379><c> priesthood.</c>

00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.339
There's<00:08:13.339><c> a</c><00:08:13.540><c> better</c><00:08:13.899><c> purpose</c><00:08:14.459><c> then</c><00:08:14.899><c> that</c><00:08:15.319><c> God</c><00:08:15.560><c> is</c><00:08:15.779><c> now</c><00:08:16.079><c> seeking</c>

00:08:16.339 --> 00:08:17.139
to<00:08:16.680><c> accomplish.</c>

00:08:17.379 --> 00:08:20.939
There's<00:08:17.779><c> a</c><00:08:17.920><c> better</c><00:08:18.240><c> priesthood</c><00:08:19.100><c> through</c><00:08:19.420><c> which</c><00:08:19.600><c> he</c><00:08:19.800><c> will</c><00:08:20.139><c> accomplish</c><00:08:20.680><c> it.</c>

00:08:21.060 --> 00:08:23.040
There's<00:08:21.399><c> a</c><00:08:21.540><c> superior</c><00:08:22.220><c> principle.</c>

00:08:23.459 --> 00:08:26.959
Wherefore,<00:08:24.079><c> as</c><00:08:24.300><c> we</c><00:08:24.540><c> are</c><00:08:24.959><c> surrounded</c><00:08:25.500><c> by</c><00:08:25.839><c> so</c><00:08:26.160><c> great</c><00:08:26.579><c> a</c><00:08:26.779><c> cloud</c>

00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.339
of<00:08:27.240><c> witnesses,</c><00:08:28.139><c> let</c><00:08:28.319><c> us</c><00:08:28.699><c> believe.</c>

00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.980
That's<00:08:30.079><c> the</c><00:08:30.180><c> very</c><00:08:30.500><c> force,</c><00:08:30.860><c> isn't</c><00:08:31.040><c> it,</c><00:08:31.160><c> of</c><00:08:31.360><c> the</c><00:08:31.540><c> apostle's</c><00:08:32.120><c> argument.</c>

00:08:33.220 --> 00:08:36.779
So<00:08:33.659><c> angels</c><00:08:34.100><c> fit</c><00:08:34.460><c> into</c><00:08:34.779><c> his</c><00:08:35.220><c> scheme</c><00:08:35.519><c> of</c><00:08:35.820><c> things.</c>

00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.740
But<00:08:37.519><c> more</c><00:08:37.860><c> importantly,</c><00:08:38.659><c> brothers</c><00:08:38.740><c> and</c><00:08:38.940><c> sisters,</c><00:08:39.220><c> they</c><00:08:39.399><c> must</c>

00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:42.519
fit<00:08:40.039><c> into</c><00:08:40.440><c> our</c><00:08:40.940><c> scheme</c><00:08:41.320><c> of</c><00:08:41.600><c> things.</c>

00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:47.440
This<00:08:43.779><c> isn't</c><00:08:44.080><c> a</c><00:08:44.559><c> series</c><00:08:44.820><c> about</c><00:08:45.159><c> God</c><00:08:45.460><c> manifestation</c><00:08:46.360><c> as</c><00:08:46.559><c> you</c><00:08:46.720><c> might</c><00:08:46.879><c> have</c><00:08:47.039><c> thought</c><00:08:47.220><c> it</c>

00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:48.980
was,<00:08:47.639><c> not</c><00:08:47.840><c> as</c><00:08:48.159><c> such.</c>

00:08:49.419 --> 00:08:52.519
If<00:08:49.559><c> we</c><00:08:49.720><c> wanted</c><00:08:49.960><c> to</c><00:08:50.600><c> develop</c><00:08:50.919><c> and</c><00:08:51.320><c> enlarge</c><00:08:51.779><c> a</c><00:08:51.919><c> theme</c><00:08:52.019><c> like</c><00:08:52.320><c> that,</c>

00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.220
we<00:08:52.679><c> would</c><00:08:52.860><c> have</c><00:08:53.019><c> come</c><00:08:53.240><c> at</c><00:08:53.340><c> it</c><00:08:53.440><c> from</c><00:08:53.600><c> a</c><00:08:53.740><c> slightly</c><00:08:53.960><c> different</c><00:08:54.299><c> way.</c>

00:08:55.480 --> 00:09:00.440
The<00:08:55.679><c> key</c><00:08:55.960><c> to</c><00:08:56.159><c> this</c><00:08:56.379><c> particular</c><00:08:56.879><c> theme</c><00:08:57.179><c> is</c><00:08:57.480><c> of</c><00:08:57.740><c> the</c><00:08:58.340><c> progressive</c><00:08:59.299><c> unfolding</c>

00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.679
of<00:09:01.120><c> God's</c><00:09:01.639><c> purpose.</c>

00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:07.480
God<00:09:03.259><c> wants</c><00:09:03.700><c> to</c><00:09:04.139><c> communicate</c><00:09:04.679><c> with</c><00:09:04.980><c> men</c><00:09:05.480><c> and</c><00:09:06.299><c> he</c><00:09:06.480><c> has</c><00:09:06.960><c> rolled</c>

00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.779
out<00:09:08.159><c> that</c><00:09:08.659><c> programme.</c>

00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:14.039
He<00:09:09.879><c> didn't</c><00:09:10.500><c> start</c><00:09:11.019><c> with</c><00:09:11.240><c> it</c><00:09:11.820><c> fully</c><00:09:12.139><c> in</c><00:09:12.480><c> place</c><00:09:12.759><c> for</c><00:09:12.960><c> us</c><00:09:13.179><c> to</c><00:09:13.440><c> understand.</c>

00:09:14.139 --> 00:09:16.139
We<00:09:14.259><c> couldn't</c><00:09:14.480><c> have</c><00:09:14.759><c> taken</c><00:09:14.879><c> it</c><00:09:15.080><c> all</c><00:09:15.279><c> in.</c>

00:09:16.299 --> 00:09:23.179
So<00:09:16.460><c> what</c><00:09:16.700><c> God</c><00:09:16.899><c> did</c><00:09:17.139><c> was</c><00:09:17.480><c> bit</c><00:09:17.860><c> by</c><00:09:18.240><c> bit,</c><00:09:19.200><c> step</c><00:09:19.539><c> by</c><00:09:19.980><c> step,</c><00:09:20.840><c> he</c><00:09:21.080><c> proceeded</c><00:09:21.659><c> to</c><00:09:21.980><c> work</c><00:09:22.200><c> a</c><00:09:22.379><c> work.</c>

00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.620
So<00:09:24.679><c> I</c><00:09:24.799><c> want</c><00:09:24.980><c> to</c><00:09:25.139><c> take</c><00:09:25.259><c> you</c><00:09:25.460><c> back</c><00:09:25.639><c> in</c><00:09:25.799><c> this</c><00:09:26.159><c> opening</c><00:09:26.580><c> session</c><00:09:27.000><c> right</c><00:09:27.399><c> to</c>

00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:46.740
You<00:09:42.759><c> remember</c><00:09:42.919><c> the</c><00:09:43.100><c> situation</c><00:09:43.799><c> whilst</c><00:09:44.720><c> they</c><00:09:45.019><c> were</c><00:09:45.320><c> in</c><00:09:45.580><c> the</c><00:09:45.840><c> garden?</c>

00:09:47.419 --> 00:09:49.460

we<00:10:55.720><c> are</c><00:10:55.940><c> talking</c><00:10:56.240><c> about</c><00:10:56.500><c> a</c><00:10:56.899><c> particular</c><00:10:57.419><c> sense</c><00:10:58.059><c> of</c><00:10:58.659><c> God's</c><00:10:59.240><c> presence.</c>

00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.279
This<00:11:00.480><c> was</c><00:11:00.679><c> the</c><00:11:00.899><c> angel</c><00:11:01.120><c> of</c><00:11:01.320><c> the</c><00:11:01.600><c> covenant</c><00:11:02.100><c> who</c><00:11:02.779><c> was</c><00:11:02.960><c> there</c><00:11:03.139><c> in</c>

the<00:11:03.480><c> garden.</c>

00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:07.539
And<00:11:04.860><c> I</c><00:11:05.059><c> suspect</c><00:11:05.419><c> that</c><00:11:06.000><c> verse</c><00:11:06.259><c> eight</c><00:11:06.419><c> doesn't</c><00:11:06.720><c> really</c><00:11:07.159><c> give</c><00:11:07.299><c> us</c>

00:11:07.539 --> 00:11:09.000
the<00:11:07.980><c> flavour</c><00:11:08.340><c> of</c><00:11:08.580><c> it.</c>

00:11:09.500 --> 00:11:13.879
Just<00:11:09.820><c> imagine</c><00:11:10.120><c> for</c><00:11:10.320><c> a</c><00:11:10.460><c> moment</c><00:11:10.639><c> how</c><00:11:11.259><c> it</c><00:11:12.019><c> was</c><00:11:12.639><c> for</c><00:11:13.000><c> Adam</c><00:11:13.220><c> and</c><00:11:13.500><c> Eve.</c>

00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:16.440
Remember,<00:11:14.460><c> they</c><00:11:14.600><c> were</c><00:11:14.899><c> naked</c><00:11:15.279><c> and</c><00:11:15.440><c> they</c><00:11:15.620><c> knew</c><00:11:15.740><c> they</c><00:11:15.899><c> were</c><00:11:16.019><c> naked.</c>

00:11:16.620 --> 00:11:20.779
They<00:11:16.820><c> were</c><00:11:17.100><c> barely</c><00:11:17.620><c> covered</c><00:11:18.159><c> and</c><00:11:18.960><c> they</c><00:11:19.320><c> knew</c><00:11:19.759><c> that</c><00:11:20.240><c> they</c><00:11:20.440><c> had</c>

00:11:20.779 --> 00:11:22.539
committed<00:11:21.299><c> the</c><00:11:21.840><c> transgression.</c>

00:11:22.539 --> 00:11:25.360
Sin<00:11:23.159><c> had</c><00:11:23.379><c> entered</c><00:11:23.620><c> into</c><00:11:23.879><c> the</c><00:11:24.080><c> world</c><00:11:24.320><c> and</c><00:11:24.539><c> death</c><00:11:24.799><c> by</c><00:11:25.080><c> sin.</c>

00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:27.940
And<00:11:25.799><c> now</c><00:11:26.019><c> they</c><00:11:26.139><c> were</c><00:11:26.279><c> in</c><00:11:26.399><c> a</c><00:11:26.519><c> hopeless</c><00:11:26.820><c> case</c><00:11:27.200><c> and</c><00:11:27.360><c> they</c><00:11:27.500><c> were</c>

00:11:27.940 --> 00:11:28.679
without<00:11:28.440><c> cover.</c>

00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:29.860
That's<00:11:28.899><c> why</c><00:11:29.059><c> they</c><00:11:29.220><c> hid</c><00:11:29.340><c> themselves.</c>

00:11:30.259 --> 00:11:32.879
But<00:11:30.320><c> how</c><00:11:30.559><c> do</c><00:11:30.720><c> you</c><00:11:30.860><c> think</c><00:11:31.019><c> the</c><00:11:31.340><c> angel</c><00:11:31.580><c> of</c><00:11:31.899><c> the</c><00:11:32.080><c> Lord</c><00:11:32.320><c> came</c><00:11:32.639><c> into</c>

00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:33.700
the<00:11:33.139><c> garden</c>

00:11:33.700 --> 00:11:36.519
in<00:11:34.279><c> the</c><00:11:34.440><c> cool</c><00:11:34.600><c> of</c><00:11:34.740><c> the</c><00:11:34.919><c> day,</c><00:11:35.580><c> sort</c><00:11:35.659><c> of</c><00:11:35.799><c> hands</c><00:11:35.960><c> in</c><00:11:36.220><c> pockets,</c>

00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.940
whistling,<00:11:37.059><c> wondering</c><00:11:37.360><c> how</c><00:11:37.600><c> things</c><00:11:37.860><c> were</c><00:11:38.279><c> and</c><00:11:38.779><c> thinking,</c><00:11:39.279><c> well,</c>

00:11:39.980 --> 00:11:41.559
maybe<00:11:40.480><c> everything</c><00:11:40.799><c> was</c><00:11:41.000><c> as</c><00:11:41.120><c> it</c><00:11:41.360><c> was?</c>

00:11:41.740 --> 00:11:43.159
Well,<00:11:41.940><c> of</c><00:11:42.100><c> course</c><00:11:42.340><c> not.</c>

00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.700
We're<00:11:43.379><c> talking</c><00:11:43.659><c> about</c><00:11:44.019><c> divine</c><00:11:44.500><c> intelligence.</c>

00:11:45.899 --> 00:11:49.500
The<00:11:46.100><c> angels</c><00:11:46.340><c> of</c><00:11:46.539><c> the</c><00:11:46.700><c> Lord</c><00:11:46.860><c> knew</c><00:11:47.159><c> precisely</c><00:11:48.200><c> what</c><00:11:48.820><c> had</c><00:11:49.100><c> happened.</c>

00:11:49.899 --> 00:11:51.879
They<00:11:50.100><c> were</c><00:11:50.360><c> coming</c><00:11:50.620><c> in</c><00:11:50.879><c> judgment.</c>

00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:55.899
And<00:11:52.419><c> if</c><00:11:52.600><c> you</c><00:11:52.879><c> if</c><00:11:53.200><c> you</c><00:11:53.440><c> let</c><00:11:53.679><c> your</c><00:11:54.039><c> eye</c><00:11:54.600><c> drift</c><00:11:54.940><c> around</c><00:11:55.259><c> the</c><00:11:55.519><c> margin</c>

00:11:55.899 --> 00:11:58.500
and<00:11:56.139><c> pick</c><00:11:56.340><c> up</c><00:11:56.480><c> some</c><00:11:56.720><c> of</c><00:11:56.799><c> the</c><00:11:56.960><c> marginal</c><00:11:57.419><c> renderings,</c><00:11:58.059><c> if</c><00:11:58.059><c> you've</c><00:11:58.299><c> got</c>

00:11:58.500 --> 00:12:00.200
one,<00:11:58.639><c> for</c><00:11:58.840><c> example,</c><00:11:59.279><c> voice,</c>

00:12:00.299 --> 00:12:03.700
I've<00:12:00.720><c> got</c><00:12:00.799><c> a</c><00:12:00.980><c> marginal</c><00:12:01.360><c> rendering</c><00:12:01.720><c> that</c><00:12:01.960><c> says</c><00:12:02.299><c> sound.</c>

00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:06.519
And<00:12:04.019><c> then</c><00:12:04.139><c> if</c><00:12:04.220><c> you</c><00:12:04.299><c> look</c><00:12:04.399><c> at</c><00:12:04.720><c> cool,</c><00:12:05.559><c> I've</c><00:12:05.820><c> got</c><00:12:05.940><c> another</c><00:12:06.240><c> that</c>

00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:09.980
Maybe<00:12:08.659><c> you'll</c><00:12:08.860><c> get</c><00:12:08.980><c> a</c><00:12:09.100><c> rather</c><00:12:09.279><c> different</c><00:12:09.700><c> figure.</c>

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:11.779
Let<00:12:10.139><c> me</c><00:12:10.299><c> read</c><00:12:10.440><c> you</c><00:12:10.620><c> a</c><00:12:10.799><c> recent</c><00:12:11.139><c> translation.</c>

00:12:12.220 --> 00:12:16.000
Then<00:12:12.500><c> the</c><00:12:12.679><c> man</c><00:12:12.799><c> and</c><00:12:12.980><c> his</c><00:12:13.200><c> wife</c><00:12:13.500><c> heard</c><00:12:13.860><c> the</c><00:12:14.299><c> thunder</c><00:12:14.960><c> of</c><00:12:15.519><c> Yahweh</c>

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:19.299
God<00:12:16.299><c> going</c><00:12:16.659><c> back</c><00:12:17.080><c> and</c><00:12:17.360><c> forth</c><00:12:17.580><c> in</c><00:12:17.759><c> the</c><00:12:18.000><c> garden</c><00:12:18.299><c> in</c><00:12:18.740><c> the</c><00:12:18.940><c> wind</c><00:12:19.120><c> of</c>

the<00:12:19.600><c> storm.</c>

00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.840
And<00:12:20.960><c> they</c><00:12:21.360><c> hid</c><00:12:21.879><c> from</c><00:12:22.200><c> Yahweh</c><00:12:22.700><c> God</c><00:12:22.960><c> among</c><00:12:23.159><c> the</c><00:12:23.460><c> trees</c><00:12:23.600><c> of</c><00:12:23.779><c> the</c><00:12:23.960><c> garden.</c>

00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:27.580
I<00:12:25.159><c> shall</c><00:12:25.299><c> usually</c><00:12:25.659><c> be</c><00:12:25.919><c> using</c><00:12:26.179><c> the</c><00:12:26.720><c> the</c><00:12:26.820><c> name</c><00:12:26.940><c> of</c><00:12:27.139><c> God</c><00:12:27.220><c> in</c><00:12:27.379><c> that</c>

particular<00:12:27.960><c> way.</c>

00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.080
But<00:12:28.860><c> you'll</c><00:12:29.159><c> get</c><00:12:29.299><c> the</c><00:12:29.740><c> flavor</c><00:12:30.039><c> of</c><00:12:30.240><c> it</c><00:12:30.360><c> for</c><00:12:30.519><c> the</c><00:12:30.700><c> moment.</c>

00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:34.759

Huge<00:17:26.859><c> ideas</c><00:17:27.460><c> that</c><00:17:27.680><c> will</c><00:17:27.880><c> come</c><00:17:28.059><c> out</c><00:17:28.279><c> of</c><00:17:28.500><c> tiny</c><00:17:28.799><c> beginnings.</c>

00:17:29.980 --> 00:17:33.720
You've<00:17:30.299><c> got</c><00:17:30.380><c> to</c><00:17:30.519><c> look</c><00:17:30.640><c> very</c><00:17:31.079><c> carefully</c><00:17:31.619><c> at</c><00:17:32.180><c> those</c><00:17:32.960><c> elements</c>

00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.420
which<00:17:33.960><c> are</c><00:17:34.279><c> included</c><00:17:34.880><c> in</c><00:17:35.359><c> the</c><00:17:35.619><c> first</c><00:17:35.940><c> place.</c>

00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:39.000
And<00:17:37.279><c> they're</c><00:17:37.579><c> coming</c><00:17:37.779><c> for</c><00:17:38.000><c> the</c><00:17:38.180><c> first</c><00:17:38.519><c> time.</c>

00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:42.000
It's<00:17:39.619><c> ever</c><00:17:39.759><c> so</c><00:17:39.900><c> easy</c><00:17:40.099><c> for</c><00:17:40.259><c> us</c><00:17:40.440><c> with</c><00:17:40.680><c> our</c><00:17:41.099><c> later</c><00:17:41.440><c> and</c><00:17:41.700><c> developed</c>

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.700
knowledge<00:17:42.339><c> of</c><00:17:42.559><c> scripture</c><00:17:42.880><c> to</c><00:17:43.440><c> to</c><00:17:43.799><c> read</c><00:17:44.079><c> back</c><00:17:44.579><c> our</c><00:17:44.980><c> understanding.</c>

00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:49.210
But<00:17:46.440><c> can</c><00:17:46.640><c> I</c><00:17:46.779><c> suggest</c><00:17:47.099><c> that</c><00:17:47.559><c> sometimes</c><00:17:47.960><c> if</c><00:17:48.160><c> we</c><00:17:48.299><c> could</c><00:17:48.420><c> only</c>

00:17:49.859 --> 00:17:52.859
clear<00:17:50.440><c> our</c><00:17:50.799><c> minds</c><00:17:51.079><c> of</c><00:17:51.279><c> the</c><00:17:51.460><c> things</c><00:17:51.599><c> we</c><00:17:51.920><c> know,</c>

00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:55.079
come<00:17:53.079><c> and</c><00:17:53.200><c> look</c><00:17:53.299><c> at</c><00:17:53.460><c> the</c><00:17:53.660><c> scripture</c><00:17:53.920><c> for</c><00:17:54.160><c> the</c><00:17:54.380><c> first</c><00:17:54.700><c> time</c><00:17:54.960><c> and</c>

00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:56.440
say<00:17:55.319><c> to</c><00:17:55.519><c> ourselves,</c>

00:17:56.940 --> 00:18:01.279
interesting,<00:17:58.700><c> there</c><00:17:58.960><c> was</c><00:17:59.200><c> a</c><00:17:59.640><c> flaming</c><00:18:00.119><c> sword</c>

00:18:01.339 --> 00:18:03.980
which<00:18:01.640><c> turned</c><00:18:02.400><c> every</c><00:18:02.980><c> way.</c>

00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.460
And<00:18:04.460><c> then</c><00:18:04.579><c> just</c><00:18:04.819><c> ask</c><00:18:05.119><c> ourselves</c><00:18:05.460><c> in</c><00:18:05.660><c> the</c><00:18:05.799><c> first</c><00:18:06.079><c> instance,</c>

00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:08.640
what<00:18:06.859><c> might</c><00:18:07.299><c> that</c><00:18:07.660><c> mean?</c>

00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:12.059
You<00:18:09.400><c> see,</c><00:18:09.539><c> there</c><00:18:09.720><c> was</c><00:18:09.940><c> a</c><00:18:10.180><c> sword,</c><00:18:10.539><c> but</c><00:18:10.640><c> a</c><00:18:10.880><c> sword,</c><00:18:11.119><c> of</c><00:18:11.319><c> course,</c>

00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:13.960
could<00:18:12.759><c> indicate</c>

00:18:14.059 --> 00:18:18.200
no<00:18:14.660><c> entry,</c><00:18:15.799><c> no</c><00:18:16.160><c> coming</c><00:18:16.500><c> down</c><00:18:16.799><c> this</c><00:18:17.099><c> road</c><00:18:17.500><c> or</c><00:18:17.819><c> else.</c>

00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:20.160
And<00:18:18.980><c> certainly</c><00:18:19.240><c> it</c><00:18:19.420><c> had</c><00:18:19.559><c> that</c><00:18:19.799><c> element.</c>

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:24.880
They<00:18:20.660><c> were</c><00:18:20.960><c> excluded</c><00:18:21.599><c> and</c><00:18:22.160><c> they</c><00:18:22.299><c> had</c><00:18:22.460><c> to</c><00:18:22.799><c> find</c><00:18:23.279><c> the</c><00:18:23.539><c> way</c><00:18:23.799><c> back.</c>

00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:28.500
But<00:18:25.819><c> it</c><00:18:26.259><c> turned</c><00:18:26.740><c> every</c><00:18:27.299><c> way.</c>

00:18:28.980 --> 00:18:34.420
And<00:18:29.660><c> there</c><00:18:30.019><c> was</c><00:18:30.640><c> a</c><00:18:31.119><c> place</c><00:18:31.599><c> at</c><00:18:32.460><c> the</c><00:18:32.660><c> east</c><00:18:33.059><c> of</c><00:18:33.380><c> the</c><00:18:33.579><c> garden.</c>

00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:37.779
It's<00:18:35.200><c> worth</c><00:18:35.380><c> noticing</c><00:18:35.859><c> then</c><00:18:36.339><c> that</c><00:18:36.680><c> what</c><00:18:36.880><c> was</c><00:18:37.119><c> happening</c><00:18:37.440><c> was</c>

00:18:37.779 --> 00:18:39.480
that<00:18:38.000><c> God</c><00:18:38.339><c> had</c><00:18:38.839><c> established</c>

00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:42.559
a<00:18:40.380><c> place.</c><00:18:41.420><c> Did</c><00:18:41.559><c> you</c><00:18:41.680><c> notice</c><00:18:41.980><c> that</c><00:18:42.240><c> word?</c>

00:18:42.940 --> 00:18:47.299
God<00:18:43.200><c> drove</c><00:18:43.579><c> out</c><00:18:43.819><c> the</c><00:18:44.019><c> man</c><00:18:44.299><c> and</c><00:18:44.759><c> he</c><00:18:45.920><c> placed.</c>

00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:52.559
It's<00:18:48.079><c> a</c><00:18:48.200><c> word</c><00:18:48.420><c> from</c><00:18:48.799><c> which</c><00:18:49.400><c> the</c><00:18:49.740><c> Hebrew</c><00:18:50.039><c> word</c><00:18:50.420><c> Shekinah</c><00:18:51.380><c> is</c><00:18:51.960><c> delivered.</c>

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.240
You<00:18:53.160><c> know,</c><00:18:53.220><c> sometimes</c><00:18:53.500><c> people</c><00:18:53.779><c> talk</c><00:18:54.019><c> about</c><00:18:54.259><c> the</c><00:18:54.579><c> Shekinah</c>

00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:56.359
glory<00:18:55.700><c> and</c><00:18:56.119><c> you</c><00:18:56.259><c> say,</c>

00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:58.480
well,<00:18:56.880><c> where</c><00:18:57.119><c> does</c><00:18:57.259><c> it</c><00:18:57.259><c> come</c><00:18:57.480><c> from?</c><00:18:57.720><c> Where</c><00:18:57.839><c> does</c><00:18:58.039><c> that</c><00:18:58.220><c> word</c>

Shekinah<00:18:59.099><c> come</c><00:18:59.380><c> from?</c>

00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:02.680
The<00:19:00.240><c> Jews</c><00:19:00.400><c> certainly</c><00:19:00.779><c> talk</c><00:19:01.039><c> a</c><00:19:01.160><c> lot</c><00:19:01.339><c> about</c><00:19:01.539><c> the</c><00:19:01.759><c> Shekinah</c><00:19:02.319><c> glory.</c>

00:19:03.019 --> 00:19:07.420
Well,<00:19:03.180><c> it</c><00:19:03.279><c> is</c><00:19:03.539><c> derived</c><00:19:04.259><c> from</c><00:19:05.000><c> this</c><00:19:05.460><c> very</c><00:19:05.940><c> word,</c><00:19:06.279><c> this</c><00:19:06.559><c> Hebrew</c><00:19:06.940><c> word,</c>

00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:11.980
which<00:19:07.980><c> is</c><00:19:08.279><c> there.</c><00:19:08.900><c> God</c><00:19:09.240><c> placed</c><00:19:10.519><c> Mishkan.</c>

00:19:12.180 --> 00:19:16.900
At<00:19:12.460><c> the</c><00:19:12.740><c> Garden</c><00:19:13.039><c> of</c><00:19:13.279><c> Eden,</c><00:19:14.099><c> he</c><00:19:14.799><c> established</c><00:19:15.460><c> a</c><00:19:16.000><c> place.</c>

00:19:17.460 --> 00:19:21.359
Now,<00:19:18.180><c> now</c><00:19:18.640><c> let</c><00:19:18.960><c> your</c><00:19:19.299><c> mind</c><00:19:19.779><c> roam</c><00:19:20.220><c> forward.</c>

00:19:21.619 --> 00:19:24.779
Now<00:19:22.099><c> consider</c><00:19:22.579><c> the</c><00:19:22.779><c> way</c><00:19:22.980><c> that</c><00:19:23.200><c> God</c><00:19:23.480><c> was</c><00:19:23.839><c> going</c><00:19:24.160><c> to</c><00:19:24.359><c> be</c><00:19:24.539><c> looking</c>

00:19:24.779 --> 00:19:25.859
for<00:19:25.119><c> a</c><00:19:25.500><c> place</c>

00:19:25.859 --> 00:19:30.440
of<00:19:26.500><c> meeting.</c><00:19:27.500><c> In</c><00:19:27.619><c> all</c><00:19:27.880><c> generations,</c><00:19:28.640><c> God</c><00:19:28.880><c> would</c><00:19:29.160><c> subsequently</c><00:19:29.740><c> be</c><00:19:30.079><c> saying,</c>

00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.559
I<00:19:30.920><c> want</c><00:19:31.180><c> to</c><00:19:31.400><c> meet</c><00:19:31.579><c> with</c><00:19:31.859><c> you.</c><00:19:32.559><c> I</c><00:19:32.819><c> want</c><00:19:33.119><c> you</c><00:19:33.299><c> to</c><00:19:33.519><c> come</c><00:19:33.720><c> near.</c>

00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:36.240
There<00:19:34.900><c> is</c><00:19:35.200><c> a</c><00:19:35.359><c> way.</c>

00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:40.160
Ultimately,<00:19:37.420><c> one</c><00:19:37.579><c> would</c><00:19:37.819><c> say,</c><00:19:38.240><c> I</c><00:19:38.519><c> am</c><00:19:38.779><c> the</c><00:19:39.000><c> way,</c><00:19:39.680><c> the</c><00:19:39.960><c> truth</c>

00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:40.859
and<00:19:40.339><c> the</c><00:19:40.539><c> life.</c>

00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:43.720
No<00:19:41.619><c> man</c><00:19:41.940><c> cometh</c><00:19:42.220><c> unto</c><00:19:42.440><c> the</c><00:19:42.700><c> Father</c><00:19:42.960><c> but</c><00:19:43.220><c> by</c><00:19:43.519><c> me.</c>

00:19:43.779 --> 00:19:45.740
But<00:19:43.980><c> that's</c><00:19:44.259><c> at</c><00:19:44.440><c> the</c><00:19:44.559><c> end</c><00:19:44.819><c> of</c><00:19:45.019><c> the</c><00:19:45.180><c> process.</c>

00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:49.259
In<00:19:46.400><c> the</c><00:19:46.579><c> in</c><00:19:46.779><c>-between,</c><00:19:47.220><c> and</c><00:19:47.440><c> that's</c><00:19:47.859><c> the</c><00:19:48.140><c> in</c><00:19:48.400><c>-between</c><00:19:48.740><c> path</c>

00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.480
God<00:19:52.200><c> is</c><00:19:52.599><c> continually</c><00:19:53.160><c> saying,</c><00:19:54.599><c> come</c><00:19:54.799><c> on</c><00:19:55.099><c> near.</c>

00:19:55.859 --> 00:20:00.640

00:20:00.980 --> 00:20:04.160

You'll<00:20:04.980><c> notice</c><00:20:05.200><c> then</c><00:20:05.500><c> that</c><00:20:06.119><c> there</c><00:20:06.400><c> were</c><00:20:06.559><c> the</c><00:20:06.880><c> promises.</c>

00:20:07.619 --> 00:20:10.099
First<00:20:07.859><c> of</c><00:20:08.059><c> all,</c><00:20:08.599><c> in</c><00:20:08.660><c> Genesis,</c><00:20:09.119><c> chapter</c><00:20:09.380><c> nine</c><00:20:09.700><c> and</c><00:20:09.880><c> verse</c>

twenty<00:20:10.480><c> seven,</c>

00:20:10.859 --> 00:20:16.440
God<00:20:11.119><c> shall</c><00:20:11.339><c> enlarge</c><00:20:13.000><c> Japheth</c><00:20:13.460><c> and</c><00:20:13.740><c> he</c><00:20:14.359><c> shall</c><00:20:14.799><c> dwell</c><00:20:15.559><c> in</c><00:20:16.200><c> the</c>

00:20:17.779 --> 00:20:19.799
Remember<00:20:18.019><c> when</c><00:20:18.180><c> the</c><00:20:18.380><c> nations</c><00:20:18.640><c> were</c><00:20:18.859><c> going</c><00:20:19.000><c> to</c><00:20:19.359><c> divide</c>

00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.759
That<00:20:22.200><c> table</c><00:20:22.579><c> of</c><00:20:22.839><c> nations</c><00:20:23.200><c> in</c><00:20:23.480><c> Genesis</c><00:20:23.779><c> 10</c><00:20:24.099><c> was</c><00:20:24.599><c> about</c><00:20:24.900><c> to</c><00:20:25.140><c> be</c>

00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:27.680
revealed<00:20:26.619><c> and</c><00:20:26.940><c> rehearsed.</c>

00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:30.880
It<00:20:27.900><c> was</c><00:20:28.180><c> perfectly</c><00:20:28.599><c> clear</c><00:20:29.019><c> that</c><00:20:29.299><c> the</c><00:20:29.559><c> dwelling</c><00:20:29.839><c> of</c><00:20:30.240><c> God</c><00:20:30.539><c> would</c>

be<00:20:31.059><c> with</c><00:20:31.279><c> the</c><00:20:31.559><c> Semites.</c>

00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:34.740
It<00:20:32.700><c> would</c><00:20:33.140><c> be</c><00:20:33.400><c> with</c><00:20:33.700><c> the</c><00:20:33.759><c> Semitic</c><00:20:34.240><c> people.</c>

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:37.920
That<00:20:35.140><c> was</c><00:20:35.460><c> the</c><00:20:35.720><c> very</c><00:20:35.980><c> origins</c><00:20:36.420><c> of</c><00:20:36.619><c> the</c><00:20:36.819><c> hope</c><00:20:37.099><c> of</c><00:20:37.359><c> Israel.</c>

00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:41.759
Salvation<00:20:38.839><c> would</c><00:20:39.039><c> come</c><00:20:39.380><c> through</c><00:20:39.759><c> the</c><00:20:40.019><c> Jews,</c><00:20:40.680><c> through</c><00:20:40.880><c> the</c><00:20:41.160><c> Semites,</c>

00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:44.259
and<00:20:42.440><c> Canaan</c><00:20:42.660><c> would</c><00:20:42.859><c> be</c><00:20:43.079><c> his</c><00:20:43.380><c> servant.</c>

00:20:44.420 --> 00:20:47.700
And<00:20:44.619><c> when</c><00:20:44.980><c> Abram</c><00:20:45.359><c> the</c><00:20:45.579><c> Hebrew</c><00:20:45.900><c> came</c><00:20:46.220><c> to</c><00:20:46.519><c> dwell</c><00:20:46.920><c> in</c><00:20:47.220><c> the</c><00:20:47.440><c> plain</c>

00:20:47.700 --> 00:20:48.380
of<00:20:48.019><c> Mamre,</c>

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:51.319
the<00:20:48.740><c> Amorites,</c><00:20:49.440><c> of</c><00:20:49.640><c> course,</c><00:20:49.759><c> he</c><00:20:49.880><c> was</c><00:20:50.039><c> living</c><00:20:50.259><c> there.</c>

00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:55.240
So<00:20:51.920><c> the</c><00:20:52.220><c> Caribbean</c><00:20:52.539><c> were</c><00:20:52.819><c> living</c><00:20:53.220><c> there</c><00:20:53.640><c> at</c><00:20:53.880><c> the</c><00:20:54.220><c> east</c><00:20:54.619><c> of</c><00:20:55.079><c> the</c>

00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:56.160
Garden<00:20:55.599><c> of</c><00:20:55.859><c> Eden.</c>

00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:58.960
That's<00:20:56.720><c> where</c><00:20:56.880><c> God</c><00:20:57.119><c> had</c><00:20:57.519><c> set</c><00:20:57.759><c> his</c><00:20:58.359><c> forces.</c>

00:20:59.380 --> 00:21:00.779
That's<00:20:59.619><c> where</c><00:20:59.700><c> he'd</c><00:21:00.099><c> marshaled</c><00:21:00.599><c> them.</c>

00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:03.259
That's<00:21:01.339><c> where</c><00:21:01.500><c> he</c><00:21:01.660><c> had</c><00:21:01.900><c> bid</c><00:21:02.019><c> them</c><00:21:02.319><c> be.</c>

00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:06.839
And<00:21:03.400><c> when</c><00:21:03.619><c> the</c><00:21:03.819><c> glory</c><00:21:04.039><c> of</c><00:21:04.259><c> God</c><00:21:04.440><c> came</c><00:21:04.700><c> to</c><00:21:04.980><c> abide</c><00:21:05.420><c> upon</c><00:21:05.779><c> Mount</c><00:21:06.140><c> Sinai,</c>

00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:10.880
Exodus<00:21:07.480><c> 24</c><00:21:08.140><c> and</c><00:21:08.339><c> verse</c><00:21:08.680><c> 16,</c><00:21:09.319><c> or</c><00:21:09.420><c> when</c><00:21:09.680><c> crucially,</c><00:21:10.400><c> God</c><00:21:10.660><c> said,</c>

00:21:11.339 --> 00:21:15.500
let<00:21:11.339><c> them</c><00:21:11.539><c> make</c><00:21:11.799><c> me</c><00:21:12.079><c> a</c><00:21:12.339><c> sanctuary</c><00:21:12.960><c> that</c><00:21:13.480><c> I</c><00:21:13.759><c> may</c><00:21:14.019><c> dwell</c><00:21:14.680><c> among</c><00:21:15.200><c> them.</c>

00:21:15.779 --> 00:21:19.019
God<00:21:16.019><c> was</c><00:21:16.279><c> sending</c><00:21:16.440><c> out</c><00:21:16.599><c> the</c><00:21:16.700><c> most</c><00:21:17.019><c> powerful</c><00:21:17.539><c> possible</c><00:21:18.099><c> signal.</c>

00:21:19.140 --> 00:21:23.740
Now,<00:21:19.440><c> this</c><00:21:19.599><c> isn't</c><00:21:19.799><c> just</c><00:21:20.059><c> a</c><00:21:20.259><c> signal</c><00:21:20.500><c> that</c><00:21:20.779><c> belongs</c><00:21:21.119><c> to</c><00:21:21.940><c> millennia</c><00:21:22.680><c> ago.</c>

00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:26.220
It's<00:21:24.200><c> a</c><00:21:24.319><c> signal,</c><00:21:24.900><c> brothers</c><00:21:24.920><c> and</c><00:21:25.180><c> sisters,</c><00:21:25.500><c> that</c><00:21:25.720><c> belongs</c><00:21:26.000><c> to</c>

00:21:26.220 --> 00:21:27.079
us<00:21:26.380><c> as</c><00:21:26.660><c> well.</c>

00:21:27.380 --> 00:21:32.539
God<00:21:27.599><c> was</c><00:21:27.819><c> saying,</c><00:21:28.220><c> look,</c><00:21:29.240><c> I</c><00:21:29.460><c> want</c><00:21:29.599><c> to</c><00:21:29.759><c> come</c><00:21:29.900><c> and</c><00:21:30.220><c> live</c><00:21:30.700><c> with</c><00:21:31.440><c> you.</c>

00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:36.680
And<00:21:33.140><c> he</c><00:21:33.259><c> was</c><00:21:33.460><c> saying</c><00:21:33.720><c> that</c><00:21:34.059><c> at</c><00:21:34.579><c> the</c><00:21:34.799><c> very</c><00:21:35.160><c> moment</c><00:21:35.640><c> of</c><00:21:36.000><c> exclusion,</c>

00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:39.200
get<00:21:37.259><c> out,</c><00:21:37.519><c> but</c><00:21:37.700><c> I'm</c><00:21:37.920><c> living</c><00:21:38.160><c> here.</c>

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:43.420
And<00:21:39.920><c> so</c><00:21:40.039><c> the</c><00:21:40.180><c> very</c><00:21:40.380><c> idea</c><00:21:40.799><c> begins</c><00:21:41.160><c> to</c><00:21:41.559><c> develop</c><00:21:41.799><c> in</c><00:21:42.059><c> scripture</c><00:21:42.359><c> of</c><00:21:42.599><c> a</c><00:21:42.980><c> place</c>

where<00:21:44.180><c> God</c><00:21:44.500><c> could</c><00:21:44.740><c> be</c><00:21:45.299><c> met</c><00:21:45.680><c> with</c><00:21:46.259><c> and</c><00:21:46.779><c> where</c><00:21:47.000><c> he</c><00:21:47.200><c> could</c><00:21:47.380><c> be</c><00:21:47.700><c> worshipped.</c>

00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:50.819
A<00:21:49.039><c> place</c><00:21:49.299><c> where</c><00:21:49.519><c> he</c><00:21:49.680><c> would</c><00:21:49.960><c> dwell.</c>

00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:52.380
Deuteronomy<00:21:51.359><c> 12</c><00:21:51.700><c> and</c><00:21:51.859><c> verse</c><00:21:52.099><c> 11.</c>

00:21:52.420 --> 00:21:55.180
There<00:21:52.519><c> should</c><00:21:52.680><c> be</c><00:21:53.000><c> a</c><00:21:53.000><c> place</c><00:21:53.660><c> which</c><00:21:54.240><c> the</c><00:21:54.480><c> Lord</c><00:21:54.720><c> your</c><00:21:54.920><c> God</c>

00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:59.519
should<00:21:55.519><c> choose</c><00:21:56.140><c> to</c><00:21:56.599><c> cause</c><00:21:56.920><c> his</c><00:21:57.240><c> name</c><00:21:57.619><c> to</c><00:21:57.980><c> dwell</c><00:21:58.400><c> there,</c>

Now,<00:22:03.980><c> of</c><00:22:04.140><c> course,</c><00:22:04.240><c> there's</c><00:22:04.440><c> another</c><00:22:04.759><c> theme</c><00:22:05.119><c> developing,</c>

00:22:13.180 --> 00:22:16.819
And<00:22:13.339><c> God</c><00:22:13.519><c> would,</c><00:22:13.640><c> as</c><00:22:13.779><c> it</c><00:22:13.960><c> were,</c><00:22:14.579><c> settle</c><00:22:15.460><c> himself</c><00:22:16.220><c> there</c>

00:22:24.460 --> 00:22:28.519
So<00:22:24.779><c> you</c><00:22:24.960><c> begin</c><00:22:25.240><c> to</c><00:22:25.460><c> get</c><00:22:25.619><c> this</c><00:22:25.920><c> idea</c><00:22:26.420><c> then</c><00:22:26.940><c> of</c><00:22:27.539><c> a</c><00:22:28.019><c> place</c>

00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:31.720
where<00:22:29.339><c> man</c><00:22:29.779><c> and</c><00:22:30.200><c> God</c><00:22:30.579><c> could</c><00:22:30.920><c> meet</c><00:22:31.240><c> together.</c>

00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:36.000
And<00:22:31.960><c> now</c><00:22:32.099><c> let's</c><00:22:32.279><c> come</c><00:22:32.539><c> back</c><00:22:32.720><c> to</c><00:22:32.880><c> this</c><00:22:33.039><c> idea</c><00:22:33.339><c> of</c><00:22:33.619><c> the</c><00:22:34.240><c> flaming</c><00:22:34.779><c> sword.</c>

00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:39.940
The<00:22:37.240><c> sword</c><00:22:37.519><c> which</c><00:22:37.759><c> would</c><00:22:38.059><c> turn</c><00:22:38.440><c> every</c><00:22:38.880><c> way</c><00:22:39.140><c> and</c><00:22:39.420><c> perhaps</c><00:22:39.700><c> even</c>

00:22:39.940 --> 00:22:40.960
in<00:22:40.160><c> our</c><00:22:40.380><c> imagination</c>

00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:45.539
might<00:22:41.519><c> flash</c><00:22:42.160><c> out</c><00:22:42.700><c> with</c><00:22:43.359><c> fire</c><00:22:43.759><c> from</c><00:22:44.119><c> time</c><00:22:44.359><c> to</c><00:22:44.619><c> time</c><00:22:44.960><c> to</c><00:22:45.359><c> make</c>

00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:46.700
it<00:22:45.859><c> clear.</c>

00:22:46.900 --> 00:22:50.200
It<00:22:47.539><c> looks</c><00:22:47.819><c> and</c><00:22:47.960><c> we</c><00:22:48.140><c> can't</c><00:22:48.359><c> be</c><00:22:48.599><c> certain</c><00:22:48.839><c> about</c><00:22:49.140><c> this,</c><00:22:49.799><c> but</c><00:22:49.940><c> it</c>

00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:51.279
looks<00:22:50.539><c> as</c><00:22:50.920><c> though</c>

00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:54.920
this<00:22:51.859><c> was</c><00:22:52.119><c> a</c><00:22:52.440><c> place</c><00:22:52.779><c> then</c><00:22:53.259><c> to</c><00:22:53.599><c> which</c><00:22:53.859><c> people</c><00:22:54.339><c> came</c>

00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:58.480
where<00:22:55.420><c> they</c><00:22:55.579><c> might</c><00:22:55.799><c> offer</c><00:22:56.119><c> to</c><00:22:56.380><c> God</c><00:22:56.619><c> acceptable</c><00:22:57.380><c> worship.</c>

00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:01.799
Have<00:22:58.900><c> you</c><00:22:59.160><c> paused</c><00:22:59.400><c> to</c><00:22:59.680><c> consider</c><00:22:59.980><c> back</c><00:23:00.279><c> in</c><00:23:00.579><c> Genesis</c><00:23:00.859><c> chapter</c><00:23:01.319><c> four</c>

00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:05.799
how<00:23:02.200><c> it</c><00:23:02.460><c> was</c><00:23:02.680><c> that</c><00:23:03.259><c> some</c><00:23:03.839><c> worship</c><00:23:04.339><c> was</c><00:23:04.640><c> acceptable</c><00:23:05.240><c> and</c><00:23:05.519><c> some</c>

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:07.039
was<00:23:06.099><c> not?</c>

00:23:08.019 --> 00:23:13.599
That,<00:23:08.500><c> in</c><00:23:08.859><c> fact,</c><00:23:09.779><c> Cain's</c><00:23:10.799><c> sacrifice</c><00:23:11.460><c> was</c><00:23:11.859><c> not</c><00:23:12.279><c> acceptable</c><00:23:12.900><c> by</c><00:23:13.299><c> God,</c>

00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:17.099
but<00:23:14.200><c> Abel's</c><00:23:15.000><c> had</c><00:23:15.339><c> been</c><00:23:15.859><c> accepted.</c>

00:23:17.220 --> 00:23:20.019
Well,<00:23:17.480><c> maybe</c><00:23:17.740><c> it</c><00:23:17.960><c> was</c><00:23:18.140><c> that</c><00:23:18.359><c> at</c><00:23:18.579><c> this</c><00:23:18.740><c> particular</c><00:23:19.279><c> place</c><00:23:19.700><c> then,</c>

00:23:20.180 --> 00:23:23.000
all<00:23:20.420><c> of</c><00:23:20.599><c> a</c><00:23:20.619><c> sudden,</c><00:23:20.980><c> the</c><00:23:21.140><c> fire</c><00:23:21.400><c> would</c><00:23:21.660><c> come</c><00:23:21.880><c> out</c><00:23:22.240><c> and</c><00:23:22.680><c> would</c>

00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:24.200
consume<00:23:23.519><c> the</c><00:23:23.819><c> offering.</c>

00:23:24.619 --> 00:23:27.740
If,<00:23:24.960><c> in</c><00:23:25.180><c> fact,</c><00:23:25.740><c> it</c><00:23:25.839><c> was</c><00:23:26.140><c> an</c><00:23:26.539><c> acceptable</c><00:23:27.059><c> offering.</c>

00:23:28.220 --> 00:23:30.980
Certainly<00:23:28.559><c> now,</c><00:23:28.980><c> as</c><00:23:29.180><c> scripture</c><00:23:29.460><c> develops,</c><00:23:30.059><c> you</c><00:23:30.200><c> get</c><00:23:30.420><c> that</c><00:23:30.640><c> idea</c>

00:23:30.980 --> 00:23:33.299
beginning<00:23:31.319><c> to</c><00:23:31.579><c> unfold,</c><00:23:32.259><c> don't</c><00:23:32.400><c> you?</c>

00:23:33.539 --> 00:23:36.160
You<00:23:33.640><c> remember,</c><00:23:33.839><c> for</c><00:23:34.019><c> example,</c><00:23:34.279><c> when</c><00:23:34.859><c> Moses</c><00:23:35.220><c> had</c><00:23:35.660><c> consecrated</c>

00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:37.720
the<00:23:36.440><c> priesthood.</c>

00:23:38.579 --> 00:23:40.980
Moses<00:23:39.140><c> consecrated</c><00:23:39.700><c> the</c><00:23:39.980><c> priesthood,</c><00:23:40.579><c> remember,</c>

00:23:40.980 --> 00:23:45.160
and<00:23:41.460><c> Aaron</c><00:23:41.779><c> had</c><00:23:42.079><c> his</c><00:23:42.299><c> thumb</c><00:23:42.599><c> and</c><00:23:42.920><c> his</c><00:23:43.759><c> great</c><00:23:44.079><c> toe</c><00:23:44.339><c> and</c><00:23:44.599><c> the</c><00:23:44.799><c> lobe</c><00:23:45.019><c> of</c>

00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:45.819
his<00:23:45.420><c> right</c><00:23:45.619><c> ear</c>

00:23:45.819 --> 00:23:48.920
touched<00:23:46.200><c> with</c><00:23:46.500><c> blood</c><00:23:46.839><c> and</c><00:23:47.579><c> sacrifice</c><00:23:48.180><c> was</c><00:23:48.460><c> offered</c>

00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:53.519
and<00:23:49.500><c> fire</c><00:23:49.900><c> came</c><00:23:50.200><c> out</c><00:23:50.519><c> from</c><00:23:50.779><c> God</c><00:23:51.140><c> and</c><00:23:51.680><c> consumed</c><00:23:52.259><c> the</c><00:23:52.599><c> offering.</c>

00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:57.339
God<00:23:53.940><c> was</c><00:23:54.319><c> signifying</c><00:23:55.160><c> that</c><00:23:55.539><c> this</c><00:23:55.759><c> was</c><00:23:56.079><c> acceptable</c><00:23:56.579><c> in</c><00:23:56.819><c> his</c><00:23:57.119><c> sight</c>

00:23:57.339 --> 00:24:01.599
by<00:23:57.940><c> sending</c><00:23:58.519><c> out</c><00:23:59.059><c> that</c><00:23:59.859><c> flame</c><00:24:00.400><c> of</c><00:24:00.759><c> fire.</c>

00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:05.099
Why,<00:24:02.000><c> it</c><00:24:02.000><c> was</c><00:24:02.220><c> the</c><00:24:02.279><c> very</c><00:24:02.779><c> same</c><00:24:03.119><c> thing,</c><00:24:03.380><c> remember,</c><00:24:03.799><c> on</c><00:24:03.920><c> Mount</c><00:24:04.259><c> Carmel</c>

00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:08.240
when<00:24:05.359><c> there</c><00:24:05.559><c> the</c><00:24:05.740><c> prophets</c><00:24:05.980><c> of</c><00:24:06.299><c> Baal,</c><00:24:07.000><c> 450</c><00:24:07.680><c> of</c><00:24:07.900><c> them,</c><00:24:08.059><c> were</c>

00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:10.000
raging<00:24:08.759><c> against</c><00:24:09.299><c> Elijah</c>

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:14.299
and<00:24:10.799><c> Elijah</c><00:24:11.140><c> said,</c><00:24:11.579><c> the</c><00:24:11.579><c> God</c><00:24:11.920><c> who</c><00:24:12.079><c> answers</c><00:24:12.519><c> by</c><00:24:13.000><c> fire,</c><00:24:13.819><c> let</c><00:24:13.960><c> him</c>

00:24:14.299 --> 00:24:15.059
be<00:24:14.460><c> the</c><00:24:14.720><c> God.</c>

00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:19.779
And<00:24:15.759><c> when</c><00:24:15.900><c> he</c><00:24:16.539><c> had</c><00:24:16.680><c> doused</c><00:24:17.140><c> his</c><00:24:18.019><c> sacrifice</c><00:24:18.740><c> in</c><00:24:19.240><c> all</c><00:24:19.519><c> that</c>

00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:20.640
water,<00:24:20.440><c> remember,</c>

00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:24.420
and<00:24:20.799><c> it</c><00:24:20.880><c> was</c><00:24:21.240><c> sodden,</c><00:24:22.400><c> why,</c><00:24:22.960><c> marvelously,</c>

00:24:24.579 --> 00:24:28.440
the<00:24:24.740><c> God</c><00:24:24.940><c> answered</c><00:24:25.440><c> by</c><00:24:25.880><c> fire</c><00:24:26.319><c> and</c><00:24:26.960><c> consumed</c><00:24:27.579><c> the</c><00:24:27.900><c> sacrifice</c>

00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:30.859
and<00:24:29.019><c> lapped</c><00:24:29.319><c> up</c><00:24:29.539><c> even</c><00:24:29.740><c> the</c><00:24:29.980><c> water.</c>

00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:34.839
See,<00:24:31.319><c> it's</c><00:24:31.599><c> the</c><00:24:32.279><c> the</c><00:24:32.720><c> outworking</c><00:24:33.160><c> of</c><00:24:33.440><c> this</c><00:24:33.700><c> particular</c><00:24:34.259><c> idea.</c>

00:24:35.259 --> 00:24:38.059
When<00:24:35.559><c> Solomon</c><00:24:35.980><c> had</c><00:24:36.359><c> consecrated</c><00:24:37.119><c> the</c><00:24:37.539><c> temple,</c>

00:24:38.059 --> 00:24:42.599
then<00:24:38.740><c> God</c><00:24:39.140><c> sent</c><00:24:39.599><c> fire</c><00:24:40.160><c> down</c><00:24:40.559><c> out</c><00:24:40.980><c> of</c><00:24:41.160><c> heaven</c><00:24:41.380><c> to</c><00:24:41.640><c> consume</c><00:24:42.099><c> it.</c>

00:24:43.099 --> 00:24:46.019
So<00:24:43.440><c> we</c><00:24:43.680><c> begin</c><00:24:43.819><c> to</c><00:24:44.140><c> see</c><00:24:44.319><c> the</c><00:24:44.640><c> ideas</c><00:24:45.079><c> which</c><00:24:45.359><c> scripture</c><00:24:45.759><c> will</c>

00:24:46.019 --> 00:24:46.839
later<00:24:46.279><c> develop</c>

00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:50.640
and<00:24:47.180><c> enlarge</c><00:24:48.140><c> of</c><00:24:48.319><c> the</c><00:24:48.539><c> fact</c><00:24:48.720><c> that</c><00:24:49.019><c> God</c><00:24:49.339><c> would</c><00:24:49.799><c> signify</c>

00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:54.539
by<00:24:51.220><c> sending</c><00:24:51.700><c> something,</c><00:24:52.180><c> as</c><00:24:52.359><c> it</c><00:24:52.539><c> were,</c><00:24:53.079><c> out</c><00:24:53.380><c> of</c><00:24:53.599><c> heaven</c><00:24:53.839><c> to</c><00:24:54.140><c> earth</c>

00:24:54.539 --> 00:24:59.460

00:25:03.099 --> 00:25:04.259
to<00:25:03.339><c> him.</c>

00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:07.259
Then<00:25:04.759><c> these</c><00:25:04.980><c> very</c><00:25:05.299><c> themes</c><00:25:05.680><c> and</c><00:25:05.980><c> elements</c><00:25:06.319><c> watch</c><00:25:06.759><c> for</c><00:25:07.099><c> them</c>

00:25:07.259 --> 00:25:10.579

00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:20.579
There<00:25:17.480><c> came</c><00:25:17.680><c> a</c><00:25:17.880><c> time,</c><00:25:18.059><c> remember,</c><00:25:18.380><c> when</c><00:25:18.819><c> God</c><00:25:19.160><c> wished</c><00:25:19.519><c> to</c><00:25:19.880><c> establish</c><00:25:20.220><c> a</c>

00:25:34.940 --> 00:25:38.720
And<00:25:35.559><c> there</c><00:25:35.759><c> was</c><00:25:35.960><c> God,</c><00:25:36.200><c> like</c><00:25:36.400><c> a</c><00:25:36.640><c> burning</c><00:25:36.980><c> furnace,</c><00:25:38.119><c> signifying</c>

00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:50.680
So<00:25:45.339><c> when</c><00:25:45.539><c> at</c><00:25:45.779><c> last</c><00:25:46.200><c> we</c><00:25:46.559><c> are</c><00:25:46.740><c> able</c><00:25:47.119><c> to</c><00:25:47.440><c> see</c><00:25:48.039><c> a</c><00:25:48.500><c> wider</c><00:25:48.859><c> purpose</c><00:25:49.619><c> explained,</c>

00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:03.240

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:04.319
cherubic<00:26:03.839><c> chariot</c>

00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:09.019

00:26:09.299 --> 00:26:14.779
It<00:26:09.519><c> was</c><00:26:09.920><c> a</c><00:26:10.359><c> covenant</c><00:26:10.980><c> symbol,</c><00:26:12.660><c> a</c><00:26:12.960><c> reminder</c><00:26:13.579><c> of</c><00:26:14.119><c> the</c><00:26:14.319><c> fact</c><00:26:14.500><c> that</c>

00:26:14.779 --> 00:26:16.940
God<00:26:15.059><c> was</c><00:26:15.420><c> keeping</c><00:26:15.819><c> the</c><00:26:16.039><c> way</c><00:26:16.299><c> open,</c>

00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:22.420
that<00:26:17.579><c> God</c><00:26:17.859><c> had</c><00:26:18.220><c> accepted</c><00:26:18.859><c> Abraham</c><00:26:19.380><c> and</c><00:26:20.440><c> had</c><00:26:20.759><c> offered</c><00:26:20.920><c> a</c><00:26:21.220><c> blessing</c><00:26:21.660><c> through</c><00:26:22.220><c> a</c>

00:26:25.220 --> 00:26:27.619
So<00:26:25.460><c> although</c><00:26:25.759><c> these</c><00:26:26.019><c> are</c><00:26:26.220><c> early</c><00:26:26.519><c> days,</c><00:26:26.859><c> well,</c><00:26:27.099><c> we're</c><00:26:27.259><c> only</c>

00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.059
This<00:26:29.759><c> very</c><00:26:30.059><c> idea</c><00:26:30.480><c> is</c><00:26:30.720><c> there</c><00:26:31.000><c> then,</c><00:26:31.460><c> that</c><00:26:31.660><c> God</c><00:26:31.940><c> was</c><00:26:32.519><c> keeping</c>

And<00:26:39.039><c> that</c><00:26:39.259><c> God</c><00:26:39.480><c> would</c><00:26:39.859><c> never</c><00:26:40.220><c> be</c><00:26:40.819><c> absent</c><00:26:41.619><c> from</c><00:26:42.700><c> the</c><00:26:42.920><c> people</c><00:26:43.220><c> who</c><00:26:43.500><c> wanted</c><00:26:43.779><c> to</c>

00:26:45.420 --> 00:26:49.680
That<00:26:45.559><c> there</c><00:26:45.759><c> would</c><00:26:46.000><c> be</c><00:26:46.279><c> a</c><00:26:46.440><c> way</c><00:26:46.859><c> and</c><00:26:47.380><c> that</c><00:26:47.619><c> that</c><00:26:47.859><c> way</c><00:26:48.019><c> would</c><00:26:48.299><c> be</c><00:26:48.519><c> preserved.</c>

00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:53.579
And<00:26:50.640><c> that's</c><00:26:50.960><c> a</c><00:26:51.140><c> marvellous</c><00:26:51.519><c> thing</c><00:26:51.700><c> for</c><00:26:51.900><c> us,</c><00:26:52.279><c> brothers</c><00:26:52.359><c> and</c><00:26:52.579><c> sisters.</c>

00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:27.059

Rebecca,<00:30:27.960><c> when</c><00:30:28.279><c> she</c><00:30:28.480><c> had</c><00:30:29.240><c> twins</c><00:30:29.859><c> within</c><00:30:30.220><c> her</c><00:30:30.519><c> who</c><00:30:30.640><c> were</c><00:30:30.920><c> struggling</c><00:30:31.299><c> together</c><00:30:31.819><c> and</c>

00:30:38.140 --> 00:30:41.900

00:30:51.180 --> 00:30:55.859

00:30:56.019 --> 00:31:00.500

00:40:58.539 --> 00:41:03.539
God<00:40:58.800><c> was</c><00:40:59.099><c> now</c><00:40:59.860><c> discharging</c><00:41:01.179><c> the</c><00:41:01.800><c> greatest</c><00:41:02.219><c> of</c><00:41:02.460><c> all</c><00:41:02.719><c> the</c><00:41:02.980><c> promises</c><00:41:03.280><c> that</c>

So<00:41:11.099><c> God</c><00:41:11.340><c> was</c><00:41:11.840><c> progressively</c><00:41:12.599><c> unfolding</c><00:41:13.400><c> his</c><00:41:13.719><c> purpose.</c>

00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:16.000

And<00:42:04.079><c> sometimes</c><00:42:04.380><c> it</c><00:42:04.559><c> takes</c><00:42:04.800><c> us</c><00:42:05.039><c> a</c><00:42:05.159><c> while</c><00:42:05.440><c> to</c><00:42:05.719><c> understand</c><00:42:06.239><c> the</c>

To<00:42:10.300><c> understand,</c><00:42:10.780><c> for</c><00:42:11.000><c> example,</c><00:42:11.360><c> who</c><00:42:11.719><c> the</c><00:42:12.019><c> angel</c><00:42:12.179><c> of</c><00:42:12.360><c> the</c><00:42:12.500><c> Lord</c><00:42:12.679><c> was</c>

00:42:29.900 --> 00:42:33.840
Well,<00:42:30.440><c> we</c><00:42:30.619><c> can</c><00:42:30.900><c> work</c><00:42:31.139><c> it</c><00:42:31.400><c> out</c><00:42:32.039><c> quite</c><00:42:32.780><c> simply</c><00:42:33.199><c> really.</c>
