00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:32.099
It<00:03:27.639><c> says,</c><00:03:27.879><c> I</c><00:03:27.879><c> saw</c><00:03:28.219><c> the</c><00:03:28.400><c> dead,</c><00:03:29.340><c> small</c><00:03:29.599><c> and</c><00:03:29.860><c> great,</c><00:03:30.360><c> stand</c><00:03:30.439><c> before</c><00:03:30.879><c> God,</c>

00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.560
And<00:03:36.919><c> it's</c><00:03:37.199><c> very</c><00:03:37.539><c> explicitly</c><00:03:38.060><c> making</c><00:03:38.419><c> the</c><00:03:38.639><c> point</c><00:03:38.819><c> to</c><00:03:39.039><c> us</c><00:03:39.199><c> that</c>

00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:56.500

00:20:56.619 --> 00:20:58.940
Nehemiah<00:20:56.960><c> asked</c><00:20:57.339><c> them</c><00:20:57.599><c> for</c><00:20:57.819><c> their</c><00:20:58.000><c> family</c><00:20:58.380><c> name</c><00:20:58.660><c> and</c><00:20:58.819><c> said,</c>

00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.039
So<00:21:04.099><c> he</c><00:21:04.259><c> gets</c><00:21:04.339><c> the</c><00:21:04.539><c> register</c><00:21:04.940><c> and</c><00:21:05.920><c> he</c><00:21:06.200><c> carefully</c><00:21:06.420><c> looks</c><00:21:06.720><c> to</c><00:21:06.960><c> see</c>

00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:13.119
And<00:21:10.079><c> he</c><00:21:10.119><c> goes</c><00:21:10.500><c> carefully</c><00:21:10.920><c> through</c><00:21:11.200><c> line</c><00:21:11.460><c> by</c><00:21:11.720><c> line</c><00:21:11.920><c> by</c><00:21:12.099><c> line.</c>

00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:15.420
Sorry,<00:21:13.519><c> what</c><00:21:13.720><c> did</c><00:21:13.859><c> you</c><00:21:14.039><c> say</c><00:21:14.299><c> your</c><00:21:14.519><c> name</c><00:21:14.720><c> was</c><00:21:14.940><c> again?</c>

00:21:15.900 --> 00:21:17.960
Oh,<00:21:16.160><c> Habiah,</c><00:21:16.700><c> well</c><00:21:16.799><c> one</c><00:21:16.880><c> of</c><00:21:16.980><c> the</c><00:21:17.160><c> families</c><00:21:17.400><c> of</c><00:21:17.559><c> the</c><00:21:17.700><c> priests,</c>

00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:19.119
it's<00:21:18.319><c> there.</c>

00:21:19.779 --> 00:21:25.599
He<00:21:20.079><c> carefully</c><00:21:20.220><c> goes</c><00:21:20.480><c> through</c><00:21:20.680><c> it</c><00:21:20.819><c> again</c><00:21:21.039><c> and</c><00:21:21.160><c> he</c><00:21:21.299><c> says,</c><00:21:23.079><c> I</c><00:21:23.119><c> can't</c><00:21:23.559><c> find</c><00:21:23.980><c> your</c><00:21:24.779><c> name</c><00:21:25.339><c> in</c>

00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:26.740
this<00:21:25.799><c> register.</c>

00:21:27.019 --> 00:21:28.799
And<00:21:27.160><c> you</c><00:21:27.240><c> can</c><00:21:27.380><c> imagine,</c><00:21:27.759><c> they're</c><00:21:27.900><c> surprised,</c><00:21:28.279><c> well</c><00:21:28.500><c> it</c><00:21:28.519><c> must</c>

00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:30.279
be<00:21:28.960><c> because</c><00:21:29.099><c> we're</c><00:21:29.200><c> part</c><00:21:29.400><c> of</c><00:21:29.480><c> the</c><00:21:29.619><c> family</c><00:21:29.779><c> of</c><00:21:29.900><c> the</c><00:21:30.039><c> priests.</c>

00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:32.640
Let's<00:21:30.960><c> have</c><00:21:31.140><c> a</c><00:21:31.160><c> look</c><00:21:31.299><c> ourselves.</c>

00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:37.039
And<00:21:33.119><c> their</c><00:21:33.259><c> name</c><00:21:33.539><c> was</c><00:21:33.940><c> not</c><00:21:34.319><c> found</c><00:21:34.799><c> in</c><00:21:35.160><c> the</c><00:21:35.420><c> register</c><00:21:35.779><c> of</c><00:21:36.019><c> the</c><00:21:36.160><c> genealogy.</c>

00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:45.400
So<00:21:37.859><c> we</c><00:21:38.039><c> read</c><00:21:38.200><c> in</c><00:21:38.380><c> verse</c><00:21:38.799><c> 64,</c><00:21:43.779><c> these</c><00:21:44.059><c> sought</c><00:21:44.559><c> their</c><00:21:44.960><c> register</c>

00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.380

00:21:48.380 --> 00:21:50.079
was<00:21:48.700><c> not</c><00:21:49.079><c> found.</c>

00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:55.759
Therefore<00:21:50.859><c> were</c><00:21:51.279><c> they</c><00:21:51.640><c> as</c><00:21:52.140><c> polluted</c><00:21:52.859><c> put</c><00:21:53.480><c> from</c><00:21:54.140><c> the</c><00:21:54.460><c> priesthood.</c>

00:21:56.460 --> 00:21:59.539
If<00:21:56.900><c> we</c><00:21:57.160><c> wish</c><00:21:57.380><c> to</c><00:21:57.579><c> be</c><00:21:57.819><c> part</c><00:21:58.119><c> of</c><00:21:58.319><c> the</c><00:21:58.559><c> priesthood</c><00:21:58.920><c> of</c><00:21:59.059><c> the</c><00:21:59.160><c> age</c><00:21:59.359><c> to</c>

00:21:59.539 --> 00:22:05.140
come,<00:22:01.039><c> then</c><00:22:01.059><c> our</c><00:22:01.220><c> names</c><00:22:01.460><c> must</c><00:22:01.819><c> be</c><00:22:02.160><c> found</c><00:22:02.440><c> written</c><00:22:02.819><c> in</c><00:22:03.299><c> that</c><00:22:03.700><c> genealogy.</c>

00:22:08.779 --> 00:22:12.339
but<00:22:08.880><c> there's</c><00:22:09.039><c> a</c><00:22:09.200><c> beautiful</c><00:22:09.500><c> theme</c><00:22:09.859><c> of</c><00:22:10.819><c> the</c><00:22:11.039><c> register</c><00:22:11.460><c> written</c>

00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:18.000
It's<00:22:15.160><c> a</c><00:22:15.299><c> theme</c><00:22:15.380><c> that</c><00:22:15.539><c> comes</c><00:22:15.740><c> up</c><00:22:15.920><c> in</c><00:22:16.019><c> Ezekiel,</c><00:22:16.759><c> again</c><00:22:17.160><c> in</c><00:22:17.440><c> Isaiah.</c>

00:22:18.299 --> 00:22:21.240

00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.480
And<00:22:21.680><c> then</c><00:22:21.859><c> it</c><00:22:22.039><c> transcends</c><00:22:22.519><c> that</c><00:22:22.839><c> theme</c><00:22:23.059><c> into</c><00:22:23.539><c> a</c><00:22:23.599><c> much</c><00:22:23.920><c> grander</c>
