00:15:35.350 --> 00:15:38.049
Try<00:15:35.509><c> to</c><00:15:35.649><c> imagine</c><00:15:35.970><c> yourself</c><00:15:36.370><c> as</c><00:15:36.570><c> being</c><00:15:36.750><c> one</c><00:15:36.929><c> of</c><00:15:37.029><c> those</c><00:15:37.250><c> people.</c>

00:15:39.509 --> 00:15:41.070
Why<00:15:39.730><c> would</c><00:15:39.929><c> you</c><00:15:40.090><c> be</c><00:15:40.330><c> hiding?</c>

00:15:43.289 --> 00:15:46.730

00:16:07.509 --> 00:16:10.629
Well,<00:16:07.990><c> it</c><00:16:08.129><c> seems</c><00:16:08.350><c> to</c><00:16:08.529><c> me</c><00:16:08.669><c> that</c><00:16:08.889><c> these</c><00:16:09.210><c> are</c><00:16:09.470><c> the</c><00:16:09.769><c> crises</c><00:16:10.169><c> times</c>

00:16:27.309 --> 00:16:30.730
Sometimes<00:16:27.710><c> we</c><00:16:27.909><c> talk</c><00:16:28.149><c> to</c><00:16:28.289><c> them</c><00:16:28.429><c> many</c><00:16:28.730><c> times</c><00:16:29.110><c> about</c><00:16:29.250><c> the</c><00:16:29.590><c> same</c><00:16:29.850><c> matter.</c>

If<00:16:55.549><c> He</c><00:16:55.710><c> loves</c><00:16:55.970><c> us,</c><00:16:56.190><c> the</c><00:16:56.330><c> only</c><00:16:56.529><c> way</c><00:16:56.690><c> He</c><00:16:56.769><c> can</c><00:16:56.950><c> deal</c><00:16:57.149><c> with</c><00:16:57.330><c> us</c><00:16:57.509><c> is</c>

00:16:58.009 --> 00:17:02.389
hit<00:16:58.269><c> us</c><00:16:58.990><c> as</c><00:17:00.049><c> Saul</c><00:17:00.389><c> was</c><00:17:00.909><c> about</c><00:17:01.190><c> to</c><00:17:01.429><c> be</c><00:17:01.669><c> hit.</c>

00:17:02.389 --> 00:17:07.930
And<00:17:03.409><c> hit</c><00:17:03.590><c> hard,</c><00:17:04.970><c> but</c><00:17:05.130><c> not</c><00:17:05.509><c> hit</c><00:17:05.890><c> so</c><00:17:06.210><c> as</c><00:17:06.410><c> to</c><00:17:06.589><c> not</c><00:17:06.789><c> rise</c><00:17:07.049><c> again.</c>

00:17:08.069 --> 00:17:10.109
That's<00:17:08.369><c> the</c><00:17:08.490><c> mercy</c><00:17:08.730><c> of</c><00:17:08.910><c> our</c><00:17:09.049><c> Heavenly</c><00:17:09.329><c> Father.</c>

00:17:10.609 --> 00:17:13.470
His<00:17:10.750><c> ultimate</c><00:17:11.309><c> goal</c><00:17:11.650><c> with</c><00:17:11.849><c> us</c><00:17:12.109><c> as</c><00:17:12.329><c> individuals</c><00:17:12.869><c> is</c><00:17:13.150><c> that</c><00:17:13.329><c> we</c>

00:17:13.470 --> 00:17:15.150

00:17:15.269 --> 00:17:20.589
So<00:17:15.430><c> His</c><00:17:15.869><c> blow</c><00:17:16.130><c> is</c><00:17:16.430><c> not</c><00:17:16.710><c> crushing,</c><00:17:17.750><c> but</c><00:17:18.650><c> it's</c><00:17:18.930><c> definitely</c><00:17:19.430><c> decisive.</c>

00:17:20.990 --> 00:17:22.970
And<00:17:21.190><c> we</c><00:17:21.410><c> feel</c><00:17:21.589><c> it.</c>

00:17:24.930 --> 00:17:32.450

00:17:38.970 --> 00:17:41.549
It<00:17:39.190><c> says,</c><00:17:39.509><c> he</c><00:17:39.509><c> tarried</c><00:17:39.910><c> seven</c><00:17:40.289><c> days</c><00:17:40.630><c> according</c><00:17:40.950><c> to</c><00:17:41.150><c> the</c><00:17:41.329><c> set</c>

00:17:43.009 --> 00:17:47.329

00:17:50.849 --> 00:17:53.750
Thou<00:17:51.329><c> shalt</c><00:17:51.490><c> go</c><00:17:51.690><c> down</c><00:17:51.930><c> before</c><00:17:52.349><c> me</c><00:17:52.549><c> to</c><00:17:52.789><c> Gilgal,</c><00:17:53.230><c> and</c><00:17:53.450><c> behold,</c><00:17:53.710><c> I</c>

00:17:53.750 --> 00:17:57.569

00:18:00.450 --> 00:18:03.589
Seven<00:18:00.730><c> days</c><00:18:01.069><c> shalt</c><00:18:01.369><c> thou</c><00:18:01.710><c> tarry</c><00:18:02.089><c> till</c><00:18:02.250><c> I</c><00:18:02.450><c> come</c><00:18:02.670><c> to</c><00:18:02.869><c> thee,</c><00:18:03.349><c> and</c>

00:18:04.769 --> 00:18:08.130
And<00:18:04.890><c> there's</c><00:18:05.009><c> so</c><00:18:05.230><c> many</c><00:18:05.470><c> similarities</c><00:18:06.029><c> that</c><00:18:06.829><c> it's</c><00:18:07.390><c> logical</c><00:18:07.869><c> to</c>

00:18:08.130 --> 00:18:10.690
think<00:18:08.230><c> it</c><00:18:08.349><c> was</c><00:18:08.569><c> the</c><00:18:08.730><c> same</c><00:18:08.970><c> time,</c><00:18:09.170><c> but</c><00:18:09.309><c> how</c><00:18:09.529><c> could</c><00:18:09.670><c> it</c><00:18:09.849><c> be?</c>

00:18:11.150 --> 00:18:14.710
If<00:18:11.329><c> it</c><00:18:11.450><c> was</c><00:18:11.650><c> a</c><00:18:11.750><c> week</c><00:18:11.910><c> after</c><00:18:12.210><c> the</c><00:18:12.450><c> events</c><00:18:12.750><c> of</c><00:18:13.269><c> chapter</c><00:18:13.710><c> 10,</c><00:18:14.470><c> this</c>

00:18:14.710 --> 00:18:16.430
is<00:18:14.990><c> two</c><00:18:15.250><c> years</c><00:18:15.549><c> later.</c>

00:18:18.150 --> 00:18:22.069
So<00:18:18.829><c> how</c><00:18:18.990><c> do</c><00:18:19.130><c> we</c><00:18:19.289><c> account</c><00:18:19.569><c> for</c><00:18:19.769><c> the</c><00:18:19.990><c> fact</c><00:18:20.170><c> that</c><00:18:20.349><c> this</c><00:18:20.569><c> is</c><00:18:20.869><c> so</c><00:18:21.210><c> similar</c><00:18:21.630><c> to</c>

00:18:22.069 --> 00:18:24.690
what<00:18:22.269><c> was</c><00:18:22.569><c> referred</c><00:18:22.930><c> to</c><00:18:23.170><c> in</c><00:18:23.329><c> chapter</c><00:18:23.710><c> 10?</c>

00:18:24.910 --> 00:18:26.730
Well,<00:18:25.069><c> there</c><00:18:25.230><c> is</c><00:18:25.390><c> two</c><00:18:25.569><c> suggestions.</c>

00:18:27.690 --> 00:18:33.869
We<00:18:27.950><c> do</c><00:18:28.289><c> know</c><00:18:28.910><c> from</c><00:18:29.430><c> chapter</c><00:18:29.869><c> 7</c><00:18:30.289><c> that</c><00:18:30.769><c> Samuel</c><00:18:31.309><c> went</c><00:18:31.529><c> on</c><00:18:31.730><c> a</c><00:18:32.009><c> circuit,</c><00:18:33.670><c> and</c>

00:18:33.869 --> 00:18:36.549
one<00:18:34.049><c> of</c><00:18:34.210><c> the</c><00:18:34.470><c> circuit</c><00:18:34.869><c> places</c><00:18:35.309><c> was</c><00:18:35.609><c> Gilgal.</c>

00:18:37.069 --> 00:18:40.269
So<00:18:37.309><c> it's</c><00:18:37.509><c> not</c><00:18:37.690><c> unreasonable</c><00:18:38.250><c> that</c><00:18:38.789><c> there</c><00:18:39.130><c> would</c><00:18:39.309><c> have</c><00:18:39.509><c> been</c><00:18:39.869><c> a</c>

00:18:40.269 --> 00:18:44.950
time<00:18:40.690><c> similar</c><00:18:41.450><c> year</c><00:18:41.930><c> by</c><00:18:42.309><c> year</c><00:18:42.910><c> when</c><00:18:43.410><c> Samuel</c><00:18:43.910><c> came</c><00:18:44.170><c> to</c><00:18:44.410><c> Gilgal.</c>

00:18:44.950 --> 00:18:48.970
And<00:18:45.869><c> hence,</c><00:18:46.529><c> this</c><00:18:46.670><c> was</c><00:18:46.890><c> just</c><00:18:47.210><c> another</c><00:18:47.490><c> two</c><00:18:47.849><c> years</c><00:18:48.170><c> later</c><00:18:48.569><c> when</c>

00:18:48.970 --> 00:18:50.569
these<00:18:49.230><c> events</c><00:18:49.450><c> were</c><00:18:49.670><c> going</c><00:18:49.789><c> to</c><00:18:49.950><c> take</c><00:18:50.170><c> place.</c>

00:18:50.569 --> 00:18:53.589
Could<00:18:50.829><c> be</c><00:18:51.009><c> quite</c><00:18:51.230><c> significant</c><00:18:51.789><c> in</c><00:18:52.009><c> being</c><00:18:52.210><c> two</c><00:18:52.390><c> years</c><00:18:52.650><c> later.</c>

00:18:54.950 --> 00:18:58.009
But<00:18:55.230><c> it</c><00:18:55.410><c> also</c><00:18:55.829><c> could</c><00:18:56.089><c> be,</c><00:18:56.410><c> although</c><00:18:56.589><c> there</c><00:18:56.789><c> is</c><00:18:57.009><c> nothing</c><00:18:57.309><c> indicating</c><00:18:57.769><c> it</c>

00:18:58.009 --> 00:18:58.650
from<00:18:58.190><c> the</c><00:18:58.390><c> record,</c>

00:18:58.789 --> 00:19:02.769
it<00:18:58.990><c> could</c><00:18:59.250><c> be</c><00:18:59.650><c> that</c><00:19:00.529><c> Saul</c><00:19:00.769><c> in</c><00:19:00.990><c> this</c><00:19:01.269><c> time</c><00:19:01.450><c> of</c><00:19:01.750><c> difficulty</c><00:19:02.190><c> had</c>

00:19:02.769 --> 00:19:07.289
contacted<00:19:03.450><c> Samuel,</c><00:19:05.230><c> and</c><00:19:05.529><c> Samuel</c><00:19:05.849><c> had</c><00:19:06.170><c> told</c><00:19:06.410><c> him</c><00:19:06.710><c> to</c><00:19:07.029><c> wait</c>

00:19:07.289 --> 00:19:08.750
seven<00:19:07.650><c> days.</c>

00:19:09.569 --> 00:19:12.170
And<00:19:10.170><c> according</c><00:19:10.549><c> to</c><00:19:10.750><c> this</c><00:19:10.970><c> set</c><00:19:11.150><c> time,</c><00:19:11.390><c> he</c><00:19:11.490><c> would</c><00:19:11.730><c> meet</c><00:19:11.849><c> him</c><00:19:11.970><c> at</c>

00:19:12.170 --> 00:19:15.630
Gilgal,<00:19:13.349><c> and</c><00:19:13.529><c> that</c><00:19:13.650><c> they</c><00:19:13.849><c> would</c><00:19:14.170><c> offer</c><00:19:14.630><c> offerings.</c>

00:19:15.869 --> 00:19:19.690
Because<00:19:16.470><c> that's</c><00:19:17.069><c> exactly</c><00:19:17.450><c> what</c><00:19:17.769><c> happened</c><00:19:18.049><c> in</c><00:19:18.230><c> chapter</c><00:19:18.589><c> 7.</c>

00:19:19.710 --> 00:19:22.910
That<00:19:19.930><c> when</c><00:19:20.250><c> Samuel</c><00:19:20.609><c> offered</c><00:19:21.269><c> the</c><00:19:21.630><c> offerings</c><00:19:21.930><c> before</c><00:19:22.349><c> Yahweh,</c>

00:19:23.089 --> 00:19:25.289
then<00:19:23.309><c> the</c><00:19:23.529><c> great</c><00:19:23.789><c> deliverance</c><00:19:24.349><c> came.</c>

00:19:26.210 --> 00:19:31.089
So<00:19:26.529><c> there</c><00:19:26.750><c> is</c><00:19:27.009><c> reason</c><00:19:27.329><c> to</c><00:19:27.690><c> believe</c><00:19:28.029><c> that</c><00:19:28.470><c> this</c><00:19:28.769><c> is</c><00:19:29.769><c> not</c><00:19:30.029><c> an</c><00:19:30.309><c> incongruity</c><00:19:30.950><c> in</c>

00:19:31.089 --> 00:19:31.569
the<00:19:31.269><c> record,</c>

00:19:32.069 --> 00:19:35.069
but<00:19:32.349><c> that</c><00:19:32.490><c> it</c><00:19:32.630><c> could</c><00:19:32.750><c> be</c><00:19:32.990><c> a</c><00:19:33.210><c> pattern</c><00:19:33.589><c> of</c><00:19:33.970><c> how</c><00:19:34.369><c> Samuel</c><00:19:34.809><c> dealt</c>

00:19:35.069 --> 00:19:36.089
with<00:19:35.369><c> Saul.</c>

00:19:38.250 --> 00:19:45.369
Now<00:19:38.650><c> the</c><00:19:38.849><c> events</c><00:19:39.589><c> that</c><00:19:40.849><c> immediately</c><00:19:41.329><c> transpire</c><00:19:43.029><c> after</c><00:19:43.769><c> verse</c><00:19:44.349><c> 8,</c>

00:19:45.750 --> 00:19:53.769

00:19:53.769 --> 00:19:56.970
not<00:19:54.130><c> of</c><00:19:54.650><c> faith,</c><00:19:55.789><c> is</c><00:19:55.970><c> sin.</c>

00:19:59.150 --> 00:20:04.529
That<00:19:59.289><c> God</c><00:19:59.589><c> waits</c><00:20:00.049><c> for</c><00:20:00.329><c> us</c><00:20:00.690><c> to</c><00:20:00.990><c> act</c><00:20:01.309><c> in</c><00:20:01.670><c> faith,</c><00:20:03.890><c> but</c><00:20:04.049><c> God's</c><00:20:04.390><c> got</c>

00:20:06.789 --> 00:20:10.809
And<00:20:07.349><c> if</c><00:20:07.569><c> we</c><00:20:08.009><c> hesitate</c><00:20:08.890><c> indefinitely</c><00:20:09.769><c> to</c><00:20:10.049><c> do</c><00:20:10.230><c> something</c><00:20:10.589><c> on</c>

00:20:10.809 --> 00:20:12.210
God's<00:20:11.250><c> behalf,</c>

00:20:12.549 --> 00:20:15.549
he<00:20:12.650><c> will</c><00:20:12.809><c> either</c><00:20:13.069><c> find</c><00:20:13.390><c> others</c><00:20:13.789><c> that</c><00:20:14.029><c> will</c><00:20:14.210><c> do</c><00:20:14.369><c> it</c><00:20:14.569><c> for</c><00:20:14.849><c> him,</c>

00:20:15.549 --> 00:20:20.690
or<00:20:16.529><c> he</c><00:20:16.690><c> will</c><00:20:16.910><c> work</c><00:20:17.250><c> in</c><00:20:17.529><c> ways</c><00:20:17.809><c> with</c><00:20:18.049><c> us</c><00:20:18.670><c> which</c><00:20:19.150><c> will</c><00:20:19.349><c> be</c><00:20:19.569><c> quite</c><00:20:19.910><c> uncomfortable.</c>

00:20:22.089 --> 00:20:25.869
There<00:20:22.230><c> was</c><00:20:22.390><c> no</c><00:20:22.630><c> faith</c><00:20:22.950><c> in</c><00:20:23.210><c> Saul,</c><00:20:24.470><c> so</c><00:20:24.650><c> it's</c><00:20:24.809><c> quite</c><00:20:25.029><c> obvious</c><00:20:25.390><c> that</c><00:20:25.609><c> what</c><00:20:25.750><c> he</c>

00:20:25.869 --> 00:20:30.490
was<00:20:26.089><c> going</c><00:20:26.230><c> to</c><00:20:26.490><c> do</c><00:20:27.069><c> would</c><00:20:27.569><c> to</c><00:20:27.910><c> some</c><00:20:28.150><c> extent</c><00:20:28.569><c> be</c><00:20:28.910><c> related</c><00:20:29.190><c> to</c><00:20:29.529><c> sin.</c>

00:20:30.890 --> 00:20:32.569
And<00:20:31.450><c> it</c><00:20:31.690><c> obviously</c><00:20:32.049><c> was.</c>

00:20:32.569 --> 00:20:37.240
Let's<00:20:33.549><c> just</c><00:20:33.869><c> read</c><00:20:34.029><c> those</c><00:20:34.369><c> verses</c><00:20:34.750><c> which</c><00:20:35.289><c> are</c><00:20:35.890><c> the</c><00:20:36.029><c> significant</c><00:20:36.450><c> ones.</c>

00:20:38.190 --> 00:20:40.609
Verse<00:20:38.190><c> 8,</c><00:20:38.430><c> He</c><00:20:38.609><c> tarried</c><00:20:38.970><c> seven</c><00:20:39.309><c> days</c><00:20:39.690><c> according</c><00:20:40.049><c> to</c><00:20:40.289><c> the</c><00:20:40.470><c> set</c>

00:20:40.609 --> 00:20:42.809

00:20:43.289 --> 00:20:46.670
But<00:20:43.470><c> Samuel</c><00:20:43.990><c> came</c><00:20:44.410><c> not</c><00:20:44.710><c> to</c><00:20:44.950><c> Gilgal,</c><00:20:45.710><c> and</c><00:20:45.849><c> the</c><00:20:46.049><c> people</c><00:20:46.349><c> were</c>

00:20:46.670 --> 00:20:48.430
scattered<00:20:47.049><c> from</c><00:20:47.369><c> him.</c>

00:20:48.490 --> 00:20:51.349
And<00:20:48.750><c> Saul</c><00:20:48.950><c> said,</c><00:20:49.349><c> Bring</c><00:20:49.670><c> hither</c><00:20:50.009><c> a</c><00:20:50.210><c> burnt</c><00:20:50.450><c> offering</c><00:20:50.829><c> to</c><00:20:51.089><c> me,</c>

00:20:51.450 --> 00:20:52.549

00:20:52.910 --> 00:20:55.349
And<00:20:53.150><c> he</c><00:20:53.450><c> offered</c><00:20:53.809><c> the</c><00:20:54.190><c> burnt</c><00:20:54.410><c> offering.</c>

00:20:55.869 --> 00:20:58.730
And<00:20:56.089><c> it</c><00:20:56.210><c> came</c><00:20:56.369><c> to</c><00:20:56.569><c> pass</c><00:20:56.769><c> that</c><00:20:56.930><c> as</c><00:20:57.210><c> soon</c><00:20:57.369><c> as</c><00:20:57.509><c> he</c><00:20:57.609><c> had</c><00:20:57.750><c> made</c><00:20:57.869><c> an</c><00:20:58.049><c> end</c><00:20:58.369><c> of</c>

00:20:58.730 --> 00:20:59.710
offering<00:20:58.970><c> the</c><00:20:59.130><c> burnt</c><00:20:59.390><c> offering,</c>

00:20:59.710 --> 00:21:02.849
behold,<00:21:00.130><c> Samuel</c><00:21:00.650><c> came,</c><00:21:01.549><c> and</c><00:21:01.769><c> Saul</c><00:21:01.930><c> went</c><00:21:02.109><c> out</c><00:21:02.250><c> to</c><00:21:02.410><c> meet</c><00:21:02.549><c> him,</c>

00:21:03.230 --> 00:21:04.990
that<00:21:03.329><c> he</c><00:21:03.430><c> might</c><00:21:03.670><c> salute</c><00:21:03.950><c> him.</c>

00:21:05.190 --> 00:21:07.690
See,<00:21:05.430><c> there</c><00:21:05.589><c> was</c><00:21:05.970><c> no</c><00:21:06.250><c> shame</c><00:21:06.650><c> for</c><00:21:06.910><c> what</c><00:21:07.190><c> Saul</c><00:21:07.430><c> had</c><00:21:07.609><c> done.</c>

00:21:07.809 --> 00:21:11.650
It<00:21:07.890><c> seems</c><00:21:08.130><c> like</c><00:21:08.309><c> he</c><00:21:08.470><c> did</c><00:21:08.650><c> this</c><00:21:09.329><c> to</c><00:21:09.990><c> the</c><00:21:10.130><c> best</c><00:21:10.309><c> of</c><00:21:10.430><c> his</c><00:21:10.589><c> understanding.</c>

00:21:12.230 --> 00:21:14.710
Samuel<00:21:12.509><c> said,</c><00:21:12.890><c> What</c><00:21:13.210><c> hast</c><00:21:13.549><c> thou</c><00:21:13.710><c> done?</c>

00:21:15.029 --> 00:21:18.970
And<00:21:15.349><c> Saul</c><00:21:15.529><c> said,</c><00:21:16.430><c> Because</c><00:21:16.809><c> I</c><00:21:17.049><c> saw</c><00:21:17.230><c> the</c><00:21:17.410><c> people</c><00:21:17.650><c> were</c><00:21:17.930><c> scattered</c><00:21:18.170><c> from</c><00:21:18.450><c> me,</c>

00:21:18.970 --> 00:21:21.529
and<00:21:19.190><c> that</c><00:21:19.329><c> thou</c><00:21:19.490><c> camest</c><00:21:19.890><c> not</c><00:21:20.230><c> within</c><00:21:20.490><c> the</c><00:21:20.690><c> days</c><00:21:20.869><c> appointed,</c>

00:21:21.569 --> 00:21:24.170

at<00:21:24.390><c> Nicmash.</c>

00:21:25.289 --> 00:21:28.970
Therefore<00:21:25.849><c> said</c><00:21:26.190><c> I,</c><00:21:27.230><c> The</c><00:21:27.410><c> Philistines</c><00:21:27.869><c> will</c><00:21:28.089><c> come</c><00:21:28.390><c> down</c><00:21:28.670><c> now</c>

00:21:28.970 --> 00:21:29.970

00:21:33.009 --> 00:21:36.710
I<00:21:33.430><c> forced</c><00:21:33.750><c> myself</c><00:21:34.329><c> therefore,</c><00:21:34.809><c> and</c><00:21:35.130><c> offered</c><00:21:35.329><c> a</c><00:21:35.529><c> burnt</c><00:21:35.730><c> offering.</c>

00:21:38.029 --> 00:21:40.630
That<00:21:38.549><c> was</c><00:21:38.710><c> a</c><00:21:38.829><c> very</c><00:21:39.130><c> straightforward</c><00:21:39.549><c> answer.</c>

00:21:41.430 --> 00:21:43.890
There<00:21:41.490><c> was</c><00:21:41.670><c> no,</c><00:21:42.269><c> like</c><00:21:42.470><c> there</c><00:21:42.630><c> is</c><00:21:42.849><c> certainly,</c><00:21:43.210><c> you</c><00:21:43.470><c> can</c><00:21:43.690><c> find</c>

00:21:49.849 --> 00:21:51.569
And<00:21:50.089><c> therein</c><00:21:50.450><c> is</c><00:21:50.650><c> a</c><00:21:50.769><c> real</c><00:21:50.970><c> problem.</c>

00:21:51.569 --> 00:21:55.710

00:22:09.009 --> 00:22:12.130
That's<00:22:09.390><c> why</c><00:22:09.589><c> we've</c><00:22:09.869><c> got</c><00:22:10.029><c> to</c><00:22:10.289><c> meditate</c><00:22:10.730><c> in</c><00:22:10.990><c> it,</c><00:22:11.670><c> and</c><00:22:11.890><c> we've</c><00:22:12.049><c> got</c>

00:22:13.390 --> 00:22:16.890

00:22:18.329 --> 00:22:23.089
And<00:22:18.849><c> here's</c><00:22:19.130><c> an</c><00:22:19.369><c> example</c><00:22:19.789><c> of</c><00:22:20.289><c> a</c><00:22:20.509><c> man</c><00:22:20.710><c> who</c><00:22:21.349><c> wasn't</c><00:22:21.809><c> prepared</c>

00:22:23.140 --> 00:22:26.920
for<00:22:23.509><c> the</c><00:22:23.789><c> time</c><00:22:24.369><c> that</c><00:22:24.829><c> God</c><00:22:25.049><c> had</c><00:22:25.269><c> for</c><00:22:25.490><c> him</c><00:22:25.769><c> to</c><00:22:26.049><c> act.</c>

00:22:35.569 --> 00:22:37.849
this<00:22:35.930><c> was</c><00:22:36.210><c> not</c><00:22:36.390><c> extraordinary.</c>

00:22:38.750 --> 00:22:41.289
Saul<00:22:38.869><c> was</c><00:22:39.190><c> not</c><00:22:39.470><c> unique</c><00:22:40.089><c> in</c><00:22:40.390><c> this.</c>

00:22:41.789 --> 00:22:43.890
Saul<00:22:41.970><c> was</c><00:22:42.309><c> typical</c><00:22:42.930><c> in</c><00:22:43.410><c> this.</c>

00:22:43.890 --> 00:22:48.170
And<00:22:45.049><c> those</c><00:22:45.329><c> of</c><00:22:45.529><c> us</c><00:22:45.809><c> who</c><00:22:46.150><c> follow</c><00:22:46.390><c> the</c><00:22:46.710><c> pattern</c><00:22:46.970><c> will</c><00:22:47.490><c> typically</c>

00:22:53.130 --> 00:22:59.150
Psalm<00:22:53.210><c> 106</c><00:22:54.069><c> at</c><00:22:54.349><c> verse</c><00:22:54.650><c> 12,</c><00:22:57.650><c> speaking</c><00:22:57.930><c> of</c><00:22:58.329><c> the</c><00:22:58.690><c> children</c><00:22:58.950><c> of</c>

Israel<00:22:59.549><c> generally,</c>

00:23:00.829 --> 00:23:04.269
it<00:23:00.950><c> says,</c><00:23:01.509><c> they</c><00:23:01.509><c> believed,</c><00:23:02.670><c> then</c><00:23:02.950><c> believed</c><00:23:03.369><c> they</c><00:23:03.650><c> his</c><00:23:03.930><c> words,</c>

00:23:04.309 --> 00:23:05.089
verse<00:23:04.549><c> 12,</c>

00:23:05.490 --> 00:23:08.700
they<00:23:05.910><c> sang</c><00:23:06.190><c> his</c><00:23:06.589><c> praise,</c><00:23:07.569><c> verse</c><00:23:07.849><c> 13,</c>

00:23:08.769 --> 00:23:13.829
they<00:23:09.250><c> soon</c><00:23:09.630><c> forgot</c><00:23:10.109><c> his</c><00:23:10.450><c> works,</c><00:23:11.170><c> they</c><00:23:11.529><c> waited</c><00:23:11.829><c> not</c><00:23:12.250><c> for</c><00:23:12.529><c> his</c><00:23:12.829><c> counsel.</c>

00:23:15.089 --> 00:23:19.710
Now<00:23:15.849><c> isn't</c><00:23:16.609><c> that</c><00:23:17.269><c> verse</c><00:23:17.609><c> 13</c><00:23:18.329><c> very</c><00:23:18.829><c> instructive?</c>

00:23:20.650 --> 00:23:22.690
That's<00:23:20.970><c> exactly</c><00:23:21.329><c> what</c><00:23:21.609><c> Saul</c><00:23:21.809><c> did.</c>

00:23:22.990 --> 00:23:28.609
He<00:23:23.269><c> forgot</c><00:23:23.990><c> his</c><00:23:24.710><c> works</c><00:23:25.289><c> and</c><00:23:26.190><c> waited</c><00:23:26.509><c> not</c><00:23:27.009><c> for</c><00:23:27.410><c> his</c><00:23:27.690><c> counsel.</c>

00:23:30.450 --> 00:23:34.950
So<00:23:30.730><c> it</c><00:23:30.970><c> teaches</c><00:23:31.349><c> us,</c><00:23:32.390><c> brothers</c><00:23:32.490><c> and</c><00:23:32.789><c> sisters,</c><00:23:33.230><c> not</c><00:23:33.869><c> to</c><00:23:34.750><c> think</c>

00:23:34.950 --> 00:23:35.670
of<00:23:35.289><c> Saul</c>

00:23:35.670 --> 00:23:39.730
in<00:23:36.230><c> such</c><00:23:36.529><c> a</c><00:23:36.829><c> bad</c><00:23:37.049><c> way</c><00:23:37.390><c> that</c><00:23:37.589><c> we</c><00:23:37.890><c> escape</c><00:23:38.309><c> it.</c>

00:23:40.109 --> 00:23:44.150
The<00:23:40.670><c> reason</c><00:23:40.990><c> why</c><00:23:41.210><c> it's</c><00:23:41.529><c> recorded</c><00:23:41.890><c> is</c><00:23:42.470><c> we're</c><00:23:43.170><c> likely</c><00:23:43.609><c> to</c><00:23:43.950><c> be</c>

00:23:44.150 --> 00:23:45.730
like<00:23:44.369><c> it.</c>

00:23:46.509 --> 00:23:50.490
And<00:23:46.670><c> sure,</c><00:23:46.950><c> in</c><00:23:47.170><c> our</c><00:23:47.410><c> life,</c><00:23:47.930><c> if</c><00:23:48.109><c> we</c><00:23:48.309><c> look</c><00:23:48.630><c> through</c><00:23:49.250><c> our</c><00:23:49.670><c> experiences</c><00:23:50.049><c> of</c><00:23:50.329><c> life,</c>

00:23:50.529 --> 00:23:53.410
we<00:23:50.710><c> will</c><00:23:51.029><c> see</c><00:23:51.250><c> where</c><00:23:51.529><c> we</c><00:23:51.710><c> have</c><00:23:51.829><c> been</c><00:23:52.029><c> like</c><00:23:52.369><c> that.</c>

00:23:54.529 --> 00:23:57.430
We<00:23:54.750><c> have</c><00:23:55.069><c> rejoiced,</c><00:23:56.109><c> all</c><00:23:56.170><c> of</c><00:23:56.309><c> us,</c><00:23:56.609><c> brothers</c><00:23:56.730><c> and</c><00:23:56.990><c> sisters,</c><00:23:57.309><c> at</c>

We<00:24:00.430><c> all</c><00:24:00.750><c> rejoiced</c><00:24:01.309><c> at</c><00:24:01.549><c> the</c><00:24:01.910><c> wonderful</c><00:24:02.470><c> salvation</c><00:24:03.130><c> that</c><00:24:03.410><c> God</c>

00:24:03.670 --> 00:24:05.170

00:24:05.170 --> 00:24:08.789

00:24:16.430 --> 00:24:20.690
But<00:24:17.009><c> human</c><00:24:17.170><c> nature</c><00:24:17.509><c> being</c><00:24:17.750><c> what</c><00:24:17.950><c> it</c><00:24:18.130><c> is,</c><00:24:18.470><c> it's</c><00:24:18.670><c> not</c><00:24:18.869><c> long</c><00:24:19.109><c> before</c><00:24:20.109><c> the</c>

00:24:23.670 --> 00:24:26.329
And<00:24:24.190><c> it</c><00:24:24.349><c> doesn't</c><00:24:24.609><c> become</c><00:24:24.950><c> any</c><00:24:25.150><c> more</c><00:24:25.349><c> apparent</c><00:24:25.769><c> in</c><00:24:25.910><c> our</c><00:24:26.089><c> memory</c>

00:24:32.029 --> 00:24:35.829
So<00:24:33.150><c> that</c><00:24:33.390><c> it's</c><00:24:33.609><c> not</c><00:24:33.809><c> that</c><00:24:33.970><c> we</c><00:24:34.170><c> totally</c><00:24:34.569><c> forget</c><00:24:35.049><c> them,</c>

00:24:40.710 --> 00:24:45.670

00:28:41.829 --> 00:28:45.289
Is<00:28:41.950><c> our</c><00:28:42.250><c> God</c><00:28:42.470><c> sanctified</c><00:28:43.150><c> in</c><00:28:43.369><c> our</c><00:28:43.630><c> eyes,</c><00:28:44.009><c> brothers</c><00:28:44.150><c> and</c><00:28:44.390><c> sisters?</c>

00:28:47.309 --> 00:28:49.029
Here's<00:28:47.869><c> the</c><00:28:48.049><c> measure.</c>

00:28:51.369 --> 00:28:56.509
If<00:28:51.549><c> God</c><00:28:51.710><c> is</c><00:28:51.990><c> not</c><00:28:52.329><c> sanctified</c><00:28:52.970><c> in</c><00:28:53.190><c> our</c><00:28:53.470><c> eyes,</c><00:28:55.690><c> then</c><00:28:55.890><c> think</c><00:28:56.329><c> of</c>

00:28:56.509 --> 00:28:59.109
the<00:28:56.710><c> things</c><00:28:56.890><c> that</c><00:28:57.049><c> have</c><00:28:57.289><c> happened</c><00:28:57.589><c> to</c><00:28:57.829><c> these</c><00:28:58.069><c> people.</c>

00:29:01.930 --> 00:29:11.109
Samuel's<00:29:02.730><c> reaction,</c><00:29:04.269><c> thou</c><00:29:04.670><c> hast</c><00:29:05.150><c> done</c><00:29:08.829><c> wrong,</c><00:29:09.990><c> knows</c><00:29:10.170><c> exactly</c><00:29:10.890><c> what</c>

00:29:11.109 --> 00:29:12.730
he<00:29:11.309><c> has</c><00:29:11.509><c> done</c><00:29:11.769><c> wrong.</c>

00:29:13.130 --> 00:29:17.890
And<00:29:13.250><c> it</c><00:29:13.690><c> is</c><00:29:14.029><c> interesting</c><00:29:14.549><c> to</c><00:29:14.950><c> contemplate</c><00:29:16.529><c> why</c><00:29:16.869><c> it</c><00:29:17.009><c> is</c><00:29:17.430><c> that</c>

00:29:17.890 --> 00:29:22.309
Samuel<00:29:18.309><c> says</c><00:29:18.690><c> in</c><00:29:18.869><c> verse</c><00:29:19.230><c> 14</c><00:29:20.049><c> of</c><00:29:20.390><c> chapter</c><00:29:20.690><c> 13,</c><00:29:21.769><c> thy</c><00:29:21.930><c> kingdom</c>

00:29:22.309 --> 00:29:24.009
shall<00:29:22.589><c> not</c><00:29:22.930><c> continue.</c>

00:29:24.690 --> 00:29:28.869
Like<00:29:25.289><c> there</c><00:29:25.410><c> is</c><00:29:25.650><c> no</c><00:29:25.890><c> suggestion,</c><00:29:27.269><c> although</c><00:29:27.789><c> when</c><00:29:28.450><c> you</c><00:29:28.670><c> think</c>

00:29:28.869 --> 00:29:31.230
about<00:29:29.130><c> it,</c><00:29:29.450><c> it</c><00:29:29.789><c> suggests</c><00:29:30.170><c> itself</c><00:29:30.589><c> to</c><00:29:30.789><c> your</c><00:29:30.990><c> mind.</c>

00:29:31.450 --> 00:29:33.970
There's<00:29:31.730><c> no</c><00:29:31.950><c> suggestion</c><00:29:32.390><c> from</c><00:29:32.569><c> the</c><00:29:32.769><c> record</c><00:29:32.990><c> that</c><00:29:33.170><c> God</c><00:29:33.470><c> told</c>

00:29:33.970 --> 00:29:36.369
him<00:29:34.430><c> to</c><00:29:34.950><c> say</c><00:29:35.109><c> this</c><00:29:35.410><c> to</c><00:29:35.710><c> Saul.</c>

00:29:36.769 --> 00:29:43.069
He<00:29:37.069><c> could</c><00:29:37.210><c> have</c><00:29:37.369><c> been</c><00:29:37.990><c> a</c><00:29:38.849><c> response</c><00:29:39.490><c> that</c><00:29:40.210><c> involved</c><00:29:40.950><c> the</c><00:29:41.430><c> inspiration</c><00:29:41.869><c> of</c><00:29:42.130><c> God.</c>

00:29:43.710 --> 00:29:48.809
But<00:29:44.089><c> it</c><00:29:44.190><c> was</c><00:29:44.430><c> obviously</c><00:29:44.849><c> true,</c><00:29:45.609><c> and</c><00:29:46.410><c> it</c><00:29:46.529><c> was</c><00:29:46.750><c> not</c><00:29:46.910><c> a</c><00:29:47.210><c> total</c><00:29:47.630><c> rejection</c><00:29:48.269><c> at</c>

00:29:48.809 --> 00:29:49.390
this<00:29:49.049><c> stage.</c>

00:29:49.829 --> 00:29:53.029
Let's<00:29:50.089><c> read</c><00:29:50.269><c> those</c><00:29:50.529><c> two</c><00:29:50.730><c> verses,</c><00:29:51.109><c> 13</c><00:29:51.650><c> and</c><00:29:51.890><c> 14.</c>

00:29:54.369 --> 00:29:57.950
Samuel<00:29:54.990><c> said</c><00:29:55.269><c> to</c><00:29:55.549><c> Saul,</c><00:29:55.789><c> thou</c><00:29:56.009><c> hast</c><00:29:56.369><c> done</c><00:29:56.890><c> foolishly.</c>

00:29:58.210 --> 00:30:01.390
Thou<00:29:58.390><c> hast</c><00:29:58.789><c> not</c><00:29:59.190><c> kept</c><00:29:59.430><c> the</c><00:29:59.710><c> commandment</c><00:30:00.230><c> of</c><00:30:00.509><c> Yahweh</c><00:30:00.829><c> thy</c><00:30:01.089><c> God,</c>

00:30:01.450 --> 00:30:03.630
which<00:30:01.730><c> he</c><00:30:02.150><c> commanded</c><00:30:02.589><c> thee.</c>

00:30:03.789 --> 00:30:06.470
For<00:30:03.950><c> now</c><00:30:04.230><c> would</c><00:30:04.470><c> Yahweh</c><00:30:04.829><c> have</c><00:30:05.089><c> established</c><00:30:05.750><c> thy</c><00:30:06.109><c> kingdom</c>

00:30:06.470 --> 00:30:08.309
upon<00:30:06.869><c> Israel</c><00:30:07.269><c> forever.</c>

00:30:08.849 --> 00:30:12.109
But<00:30:09.150><c> now</c><00:30:09.710><c> thy</c><00:30:10.009><c> kingdom</c><00:30:10.349><c> shall</c><00:30:10.670><c> not</c><00:30:11.069><c> continue.</c>

00:30:12.430 --> 00:30:15.690
Yahweh<00:30:12.829><c> has</c><00:30:13.109><c> sought</c><00:30:13.289><c> him</c><00:30:13.529><c> a</c><00:30:13.650><c> man</c><00:30:13.809><c> after</c><00:30:14.130><c> his</c><00:30:14.309><c> own</c><00:30:14.569><c> heart,</c><00:30:15.410><c> and</c>

00:30:15.690 --> 00:30:18.369
Yahweh<00:30:16.069><c> hath</c><00:30:16.269><c> commanded</c><00:30:16.650><c> him</c><00:30:16.930><c> to</c><00:30:17.109><c> be</c><00:30:17.349><c> captain</c><00:30:17.589><c> over</c><00:30:17.869><c> his</c><00:30:18.109><c> people,</c>

00:30:18.490 --> 00:30:22.809
because<00:30:18.789><c> thou</c><00:30:18.970><c> hast</c><00:30:19.329><c> not</c><00:30:19.710><c> kept</c><00:30:20.190><c> that</c><00:30:20.630><c> which</c><00:30:20.829><c> Yahweh</c><00:30:21.289><c> commanded</c><00:30:21.829><c> thee.</c>

00:30:23.829 --> 00:30:27.769
So<00:30:24.450><c> again,</c><00:30:24.750><c> it's</c><00:30:25.170><c> a</c><00:30:25.390><c> point</c><00:30:25.549><c> to</c><00:30:25.869><c> think</c><00:30:26.089><c> over</c><00:30:26.390><c> as</c><00:30:26.670><c> to</c><00:30:26.869><c> why</c><00:30:27.250><c> Samuel</c>

00:30:27.769 --> 00:30:29.529
responded<00:30:28.730><c> like</c><00:30:29.130><c> that.</c>

00:30:29.710 --> 00:30:33.069
But<00:30:29.930><c> since</c><00:30:30.250><c> that's</c><00:30:30.789><c> exactly</c><00:30:31.230><c> what</c><00:30:31.589><c> happened,</c><00:30:32.450><c> we</c><00:30:32.609><c> can</c><00:30:32.769><c> only</c>

00:30:45.809 --> 00:30:46.369
the<00:30:46.029><c> incident.</c>

00:30:46.369 --> 00:30:50.170
Very<00:30:46.769><c> much</c><00:30:46.990><c> like</c><00:30:47.210><c> Elijah,</c><00:30:48.210><c> who</c><00:30:48.450><c> said,</c><00:30:48.990><c> according</c><00:30:48.990><c> to</c><00:30:49.250><c> my</c><00:30:49.529><c> word,</c><00:30:49.970><c> it</c>

00:30:53.369 --> 00:30:56.829
And<00:30:53.569><c> it</c><00:30:53.650><c> could</c><00:30:53.809><c> very</c><00:30:54.069><c> well</c><00:30:54.250><c> be</c><00:30:54.450><c> that</c><00:30:54.630><c> this</c><00:30:54.829><c> is</c><00:30:55.069><c> the</c><00:30:55.250><c> kind</c><00:30:55.450><c> of</c><00:30:55.650><c> thing</c><00:30:55.829><c> that</c><00:30:56.190><c> Samuel</c><00:30:56.569><c> is</c>

00:30:56.829 --> 00:31:00.990
saying<00:30:56.990><c> to</c><00:30:57.349><c> Saul,</c><00:30:57.869><c> his</c><00:30:58.230><c> mind</c><00:30:58.470><c> and</c><00:30:58.690><c> God's</c><00:30:59.250><c> mind</c><00:30:59.490><c> being</c><00:30:59.890><c> one.</c>

00:31:01.809 --> 00:31:04.170
Samuel<00:31:02.130><c> rose</c><00:31:02.509><c> and</c><00:31:02.769><c> departs</c><00:31:03.170><c> from</c><00:31:03.369><c> him.</c>

00:31:05.329 --> 00:31:08.710
Now<00:31:05.609><c> let's</c><00:31:05.950><c> think</c><00:31:06.269><c> for</c><00:31:06.490><c> a</c><00:31:06.630><c> moment</c><00:31:06.809><c> what</c><00:31:07.049><c> this</c><00:31:07.309><c> would</c><00:31:07.450><c> have</c><00:31:07.609><c> meant</c><00:31:07.730><c> to</c><00:31:07.970><c> Saul.</c>

00:31:09.829 --> 00:31:11.730
Saul<00:31:10.170><c> hadn't</c><00:31:10.450><c> been</c><00:31:10.730><c> rejected.</c>

00:31:12.309 --> 00:31:15.289
The<00:31:12.529><c> Spirit</c><00:31:12.809><c> of</c><00:31:12.990><c> God</c><00:31:13.150><c> had</c><00:31:13.369><c> not</c><00:31:13.569><c> been</c><00:31:13.849><c> taken</c><00:31:14.170><c> from</c><00:31:14.450><c> Saul.</c>

00:31:15.670 --> 00:31:19.190
Saul<00:31:16.230><c> had</c><00:31:16.490><c> not</c><00:31:16.710><c> been</c><00:31:16.970><c> told</c><00:31:17.150><c> that</c><00:31:17.329><c> he</c><00:31:17.430><c> wouldn't</c><00:31:17.710><c> be</c><00:31:18.069><c> king.</c>

00:31:19.670 --> 00:31:23.490
What<00:31:19.869><c> he</c><00:31:20.089><c> had</c><00:31:20.269><c> been</c><00:31:20.650><c> told</c><00:31:20.890><c> is</c><00:31:21.069><c> your</c><00:31:21.349><c> kingdom</c><00:31:21.829><c> won't</c><00:31:22.410><c> continue.</c>

00:31:25.269 --> 00:31:28.130
And<00:31:25.490><c> isn't</c><00:31:25.690><c> it</c><00:31:25.890><c> interesting</c><00:31:26.329><c> that</c><00:31:26.509><c> he</c><00:31:26.730><c> said</c><00:31:26.849><c> that</c><00:31:27.170><c> in</c><00:31:27.369><c> the</c><00:31:27.509><c> light</c><00:31:27.650><c> that</c><00:31:27.869><c> the</c>

00:31:28.130 --> 00:31:32.069
incident<00:31:28.509><c> that</c><00:31:28.950><c> started</c><00:31:29.130><c> this</c><00:31:29.430><c> all</c><00:31:29.730><c> off</c><00:31:30.089><c> was</c><00:31:30.549><c> the</c><00:31:30.869><c> man</c><00:31:31.569><c> with</c>

00:31:32.069 --> 00:31:35.369
whom<00:31:32.210><c> the</c><00:31:32.690><c> kingdom</c><00:31:33.009><c> would</c><00:31:33.309><c> likely</c><00:31:33.789><c> continue,</c><00:31:34.309><c> Jonathan.</c>

00:31:38.069 --> 00:31:41.049
You<00:31:38.369><c> would</c><00:31:38.509><c> wonder</c><00:31:38.650><c> how</c><00:31:38.930><c> Jonathan</c><00:31:39.289><c> would</c><00:31:39.509><c> think</c><00:31:39.690><c> about</c><00:31:39.910><c> that.</c>

00:31:42.089 --> 00:31:45.109
Jonathan<00:31:42.650><c> seems</c><00:31:42.970><c> to</c><00:31:43.150><c> have</c><00:31:43.349><c> responded</c><00:31:43.789><c> wonderfully</c><00:31:44.289><c> to</c><00:31:44.589><c> it,</c>

00:31:45.410 --> 00:31:47.589
especially<00:31:45.750><c> in</c><00:31:45.970><c> the</c><00:31:46.089><c> words</c><00:31:46.269><c> that</c><00:31:46.450><c> we</c><00:31:46.589><c> know</c><00:31:46.710><c> he</c><00:31:46.910><c> says</c><00:31:47.130><c> to</c><00:31:47.410><c> David</c>

00:31:47.589 --> 00:31:49.049
later<00:31:47.890><c> on.</c>

00:31:49.630 --> 00:31:54.049
But<00:31:49.809><c> we're</c><00:31:50.049><c> not</c><00:31:50.470><c> sure</c><00:31:50.990><c> from</c><00:31:51.430><c> the</c><00:31:51.670><c> record</c><00:31:51.950><c> how</c><00:31:53.009><c> Saul</c><00:31:53.430><c> responded</c>

00:31:54.049 --> 00:31:55.230
to<00:31:54.309><c> that.</c>

00:31:55.809 --> 00:31:58.849
How<00:31:56.029><c> would</c><00:31:56.309><c> we</c><00:31:56.750><c> respond</c><00:31:57.210><c> to</c><00:31:57.349><c> it,</c><00:31:57.670><c> brothers</c><00:31:57.750><c> and</c><00:31:58.049><c> sisters,</c><00:31:58.410><c> is</c>

00:31:58.849 --> 00:32:01.349
probably<00:31:59.289><c> the</c><00:31:59.450><c> most</c><00:31:59.789><c> important</c><00:32:00.250><c> question</c><00:32:00.609><c> because</c><00:32:00.970><c> that's</c>

00:32:01.349 --> 00:32:02.470
why<00:32:01.490><c> it's</c><00:32:01.710><c> written.</c>

00:32:03.950 --> 00:32:06.589
There<00:32:04.210><c> can</c><00:32:04.369><c> be</c><00:32:04.509><c> no</c><00:32:04.789><c> question</c><00:32:05.130><c> that</c><00:32:05.329><c> what</c><00:32:05.569><c> God</c><00:32:05.829><c> was</c><00:32:06.130><c> doing</c><00:32:06.349><c> in</c>

00:32:06.589 --> 00:32:09.049
essence<00:32:06.829><c> was</c><00:32:07.230><c> slapping</c><00:32:07.730><c> him</c><00:32:07.910><c> on</c><00:32:08.109><c> the</c><00:32:08.269><c> face.</c>

00:32:10.049 --> 00:32:12.269
Was<00:32:10.650><c> trying</c><00:32:10.910><c> to</c><00:32:11.150><c> get</c><00:32:11.250><c> his</c><00:32:11.470><c> attention.</c>

00:32:13.190 --> 00:32:16.509
Was<00:32:13.349><c> trying</c><00:32:13.569><c> to</c><00:32:13.849><c> draw</c><00:32:14.069><c> something</c><00:32:14.549><c> to</c><00:32:14.910><c> his</c><00:32:15.390><c> notice</c><00:32:15.849><c> that</c><00:32:16.329><c> he</c>

00:32:16.509 --> 00:32:17.630
had<00:32:16.829><c> not</c><00:32:17.089><c> been</c><00:32:17.390><c> doing.</c>

00:32:17.710 --> 00:32:21.529
He<00:32:17.849><c> had</c><00:32:18.109><c> not</c><00:32:18.329><c> been</c><00:32:18.670><c> following</c><00:32:19.230><c> the</c><00:32:19.829><c> commandments</c><00:32:20.269><c> of</c><00:32:20.490><c> his</c><00:32:20.690><c> God.</c>

00:32:21.630 --> 00:32:25.250
Rather<00:32:21.950><c> he</c><00:32:22.089><c> had</c><00:32:22.289><c> been</c><00:32:22.730><c> following</c><00:32:23.170><c> his</c><00:32:24.009><c> own</c><00:32:24.309><c> feelings.</c>

00:32:26.630 --> 00:32:28.170
That's<00:32:26.990><c> an</c><00:32:27.130><c> old</c><00:32:27.349><c> error.</c>

00:32:29.230 --> 00:32:32.069
You<00:32:29.430><c> think</c><00:32:29.609><c> of</c><00:32:29.750><c> it,</c><00:32:30.289><c> the</c><00:32:30.549><c> first</c><00:32:30.890><c> person</c><00:32:31.329><c> to</c><00:32:31.549><c> really</c><00:32:31.829><c> commit</c>

00:32:32.069 --> 00:32:33.710
that<00:32:32.369><c> error</c><00:32:32.470><c> was</c><00:32:32.809><c> Cain.</c>

00:32:35.009 --> 00:32:38.970
He<00:32:35.569><c> was</c><00:32:35.730><c> a</c><00:32:35.910><c> person</c><00:32:36.230><c> who</c><00:32:36.470><c> was</c><00:32:37.089><c> prepared</c><00:32:37.430><c> to</c><00:32:37.670><c> worship</c><00:32:37.970><c> God,</c><00:32:38.769><c> but</c>

00:32:38.970 --> 00:32:40.809
as<00:32:39.170><c> he</c><00:32:39.329><c> liked.</c>

00:32:42.490 --> 00:32:44.730
Well,<00:32:42.569><c> brothers</c><00:32:42.650><c> and</c><00:32:42.950><c> sisters,</c><00:32:43.309><c> that</c><00:32:43.730><c> tends</c><00:32:44.029><c> to</c><00:32:44.309><c> run</c><00:32:44.450><c> right</c>

00:32:44.730 --> 00:32:46.049
through<00:32:44.910><c> history.</c>

00:32:46.369 --> 00:32:48.390
And<00:32:46.690><c> surely</c><00:32:46.890><c> in</c><00:32:47.109><c> our</c><00:32:47.250><c> midst</c><00:32:47.450><c> too.</c>

00:32:49.109 --> 00:32:53.089
But<00:32:49.269><c> if</c><00:32:49.349><c> we're</c><00:32:49.670><c> not</c><00:32:50.170><c> careful,</c><00:32:51.109><c> if</c><00:32:51.269><c> we</c><00:32:51.490><c> don't</c><00:32:51.769><c> really</c><00:32:52.490><c> uphold</c>

we've<00:33:00.170><c> checked.</c>

00:33:01.410 --> 00:33:05.730
We've<00:33:01.970><c> double</c><00:33:02.410><c> checked</c><00:33:02.869><c> to</c><00:33:03.809><c> make</c><00:33:03.990><c> sure</c><00:33:04.329><c> that</c><00:33:04.569><c> God</c><00:33:04.789><c> gives</c><00:33:05.089><c> us</c>

00:33:09.309 --> 00:33:11.809
If<00:33:09.490><c> we</c><00:33:09.690><c> haven't</c><00:33:09.950><c> done</c><00:33:10.230><c> that,</c><00:33:10.549><c> we</c><00:33:10.750><c> really</c><00:33:11.089><c> aren't</c><00:33:11.390><c> honoring</c>

00:34:15.010 --> 00:34:16.650
That's<00:34:15.449><c> not</c><00:34:15.690><c> honoring</c><00:34:15.969><c> his</c><00:34:16.329><c> word.</c>

00:34:16.829 --> 00:34:19.250
That's<00:34:17.210><c> really</c><00:34:17.449><c> committing</c><00:34:17.710><c> the</c><00:34:18.030><c> same</c><00:34:18.309><c> error.</c>

00:34:19.329 --> 00:34:22.110
That's<00:34:19.849><c> not</c><00:34:20.030><c> having</c><00:34:20.230><c> gone</c><00:34:20.530><c> back</c><00:34:20.849><c> to</c><00:34:21.010><c> God</c><00:34:21.230><c> to</c><00:34:21.409><c> make</c><00:34:21.690><c> sure</c><00:34:21.889><c> what</c>

We<00:53:20.010><c> forget</c><00:53:20.530><c> God</c><00:53:20.909><c> doesn't.</c>

00:53:23.170 --> 00:53:25.530
We<00:53:23.489><c> act</c><00:53:23.809><c> rashly.</c><00:53:24.329><c> God</c><00:53:24.610><c> doesn't.</c>

00:53:26.309 --> 00:53:29.449
But<00:53:26.409><c> he</c><00:53:26.530><c> will</c><00:53:26.769><c> hold</c><00:53:26.869><c> us</c><00:53:27.110><c> accountable</c><00:53:27.650><c> for</c><00:53:28.130><c> every</c><00:53:28.730><c> idle</c><00:53:29.130><c> word</c>

00:53:29.449 --> 00:53:30.230
we<00:53:29.869><c> speak.</c>

00:53:30.590 --> 00:53:32.989
We'll<00:53:30.710><c> give</c><00:53:30.809><c> an</c><00:53:31.010><c> account</c><00:53:31.289><c> thereof</c><00:53:31.550><c> on</c><00:53:31.670><c> the</c><00:53:31.769><c> day</c><00:53:31.909><c> of</c><00:53:32.110><c> judgment.</c>

00:53:34.170 --> 00:53:35.969
Be<00:53:34.309><c> careful</c><00:53:34.650><c> what</c><00:53:34.789><c> we</c><00:53:35.050><c> say.</c>

00:53:39.130 --> 00:53:41.510
So,<00:53:39.909><c> Saul</c><00:53:39.929><c> waxing</c><00:53:40.550><c> valiant</c><00:53:41.050><c> now.</c>

00:53:41.869 --> 00:53:44.869
The<00:53:42.130><c> victory</c><00:53:42.469><c> seems</c><00:53:42.829><c> to</c><00:53:43.010><c> have</c><00:53:43.130><c> been</c><00:53:43.389><c> somewhat</c><00:53:43.809><c> complete.</c>

00:53:44.949 --> 00:53:48.389
When<00:53:45.469><c> he</c><00:53:45.710><c> sees</c><00:53:45.889><c> there's</c><00:53:46.329><c> a</c><00:53:46.610><c> fault</c><00:53:46.849><c> that</c><00:53:47.070><c> God</c><00:53:47.289><c> won't</c><00:53:47.550><c> answer</c><00:53:47.889><c> him,</c>

00:53:48.610 --> 00:53:51.570
and<00:53:48.829><c> he</c><00:53:49.050><c> sees</c><00:53:49.190><c> it</c><00:53:49.409><c> to</c><00:53:49.590><c> be</c><00:53:49.730><c> in</c><00:53:49.929><c> Jonathan</c><00:53:50.250><c> his</c><00:53:50.610><c> son,</c>

00:53:52.230 --> 00:53:56.030
he<00:53:52.349><c> says</c><00:53:52.570><c> in</c><00:53:52.710><c> verse</c><00:53:52.949><c> 44,</c><00:53:53.730><c> God</c><00:53:54.130><c> do</c><00:53:54.469><c> so</c><00:53:54.730><c> and</c><00:53:54.929><c> more</c><00:53:55.130><c> also</c><00:53:55.469><c> for</c><00:53:55.750><c> thou</c>

00:53:56.030 --> 00:53:57.369
shalt<00:53:56.349><c> surely</c><00:53:56.730><c> die,</c><00:53:57.010><c> Jonathan.</c>

00:53:57.369 --> 00:53:58.469
Another<00:53:57.650><c> oath.</c>

00:54:00.230 --> 00:54:04.170
You<00:54:00.409><c> see</c><00:54:00.530><c> the</c><00:54:00.650><c> way</c><00:54:00.809><c> that</c><00:54:01.050><c> expression</c><00:54:01.469><c> is</c><00:54:01.730><c> taken</c><00:54:01.869><c> up</c><00:54:02.050><c> in</c><00:54:02.190><c> the</c><00:54:02.369><c> scriptures</c><00:54:02.670><c> when</c><00:54:02.909><c> people</c><00:54:03.230><c> said</c><00:54:03.489><c> God</c><00:54:03.869><c> do</c>

00:54:04.170 --> 00:54:05.170
so<00:54:04.429><c> and</c><00:54:04.630><c> more</c><00:54:04.789><c> also.</c>

00:54:05.389 --> 00:54:06.650
It's<00:54:05.670><c> an</c><00:54:05.809><c> oath.</c>

00:54:07.070 --> 00:54:08.489
Thou<00:54:07.309><c> shalt</c><00:54:07.650><c> die,</c><00:54:08.010><c> Jonathan.</c>

00:54:08.730 --> 00:54:10.630
Jonathan<00:54:09.110><c> did</c><00:54:09.449><c> die.</c>

00:54:13.070 --> 00:54:15.829
But<00:54:13.550><c> not</c><00:54:13.869><c> then.</c>

00:54:15.849 --> 00:54:18.309
People<00:54:15.869><c> said</c><00:54:16.130><c> to</c><00:54:16.429><c> Saul,</c><00:54:16.670><c> shall</c><00:54:16.909><c> Jonathan</c><00:54:17.349><c> die</c><00:54:17.789><c> who</c><00:54:18.050><c> brought</c>

00:54:18.309 --> 00:54:20.610
this<00:54:18.670><c> great</c><00:54:18.969><c> salvation</c><00:54:19.530><c> in</c><00:54:19.730><c> Israel?</c>

00:54:20.730 --> 00:54:23.949
God<00:54:20.869><c> forbid.</c><00:54:22.010><c> As</c><00:54:22.010><c> Yahweh</c><00:54:22.429><c> liveth,</c><00:54:22.849><c> there</c><00:54:22.909><c> shall</c><00:54:23.110><c> not</c><00:54:23.389><c> one</c><00:54:23.650><c> hair</c><00:54:23.789><c> of</c>

00:54:23.949 --> 00:54:25.349
his<00:54:24.110><c> head</c><00:54:24.269><c> fall</c><00:54:24.570><c> to</c><00:54:24.769><c> the</c><00:54:24.989><c> ground.</c>

00:54:25.630 --> 00:54:27.409
For<00:54:25.769><c> he</c><00:54:25.909><c> hath</c><00:54:26.090><c> wrought</c><00:54:26.309><c> with</c><00:54:26.550><c> God</c><00:54:26.809><c> this</c><00:54:27.130><c> day.</c>

00:54:27.809 --> 00:54:29.190
So<00:54:27.949><c> the</c><00:54:28.090><c> people</c><00:54:28.349><c> rescued</c><00:54:28.809><c> Jonathan.</c>

00:54:29.250 --> 00:54:31.369
Well,<00:54:29.369><c> they</c><00:54:29.530><c> acted</c><00:54:29.809><c> foolishly</c><00:54:30.369><c> too.</c>

00:54:31.530 --> 00:54:33.789
Likewise,<00:54:32.150><c> following</c><00:54:32.369><c> the</c><00:54:32.670><c> example</c><00:54:32.949><c> of</c><00:54:33.150><c> their</c><00:54:33.289><c> leader</c><00:54:33.489><c> bound</c>

00:54:33.789 --> 00:54:35.309
themselves<00:54:34.250><c> with</c><00:54:34.469><c> an</c><00:54:34.610><c> oath.</c>

00:54:35.449 --> 00:54:37.849
That<00:54:35.570><c> as</c><00:54:35.789><c> Yahweh</c><00:54:36.170><c> liveth,</c><00:54:36.530><c> one</c><00:54:36.769><c> hair</c><00:54:36.909><c> of</c><00:54:37.070><c> his</c><00:54:37.210><c> head</c><00:54:37.329><c> shall</c><00:54:37.570><c> not</c>

00:54:38.610 --> 00:54:40.429
And<00:54:38.610><c> so</c><00:54:38.789><c> there</c><00:54:38.889><c> was</c><00:54:39.050><c> an</c><00:54:39.309><c> argument</c><00:54:39.530><c> in</c><00:54:39.710><c> the</c><00:54:39.889><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:54:40.650 --> 00:54:44.750
Both<00:54:40.909><c> people,</c><00:54:41.610><c> both</c><00:54:41.869><c> groups</c><00:54:42.170><c> acting</c><00:54:42.630><c> foolishly</c><00:54:43.389><c> before</c><00:54:43.670><c> their</c><00:54:43.889><c> God.</c>

00:54:47.550 --> 00:54:50.690
But<00:54:47.929><c> Saul</c><00:54:48.130><c> was</c><00:54:48.409><c> making</c><00:54:48.730><c> a</c><00:54:48.909><c> mistake</c><00:54:49.489><c> for</c><00:54:49.929><c> which</c><00:54:50.110><c> he</c><00:54:50.289><c> would</c><00:54:50.449><c> go</c>

00:54:50.690 --> 00:54:53.869
down<00:54:51.170><c> one</c><00:54:51.849><c> nether</c><00:54:52.250><c> big</c><00:54:52.909><c> step.</c>

00:54:55.070 --> 00:54:57.789
He<00:54:55.650><c> gave</c><00:54:55.949><c> in</c><00:54:56.489><c> to</c><00:54:56.710><c> the</c><00:54:56.929><c> people.</c>

00:54:57.909 --> 00:55:02.369
The<00:54:58.250><c> people</c><00:54:58.829><c> rescued</c><00:54:59.630><c> Jonathan</c><00:55:00.309><c> that</c><00:55:01.070><c> he</c><00:55:01.289><c> died</c><00:55:01.530><c> not.</c>

00:55:02.929 --> 00:55:06.530
Saul<00:55:03.309><c> loved</c><00:55:03.610><c> the</c><00:55:03.969><c> praise</c><00:55:04.190><c> of</c><00:55:04.469><c> men</c><00:55:04.949><c> more</c><00:55:05.730><c> than</c><00:55:05.889><c> the</c><00:55:06.070><c> praise</c><00:55:06.250><c> of</c>

00:55:06.530 --> 00:55:08.389
God<00:55:06.769><c> from</c><00:55:07.030><c> the</c><00:55:07.289><c> word</c><00:55:07.550><c> go.</c>

00:55:08.630 --> 00:55:11.929
Brothers<00:55:09.210><c> and</c><00:55:09.530><c> sisters,</c><00:55:10.010><c> we've</c><00:55:10.630><c> got</c><00:55:10.809><c> to</c><00:55:11.070><c> remember</c><00:55:11.309><c> that</c><00:55:11.630><c> in</c>

00:55:20.130 --> 00:55:22.289
When<00:55:20.289><c> there's</c><00:55:20.710><c> faults</c><00:55:20.949><c> that</c><00:55:21.130><c> are</c><00:55:21.329><c> obvious</c><00:55:21.550><c> in</c><00:55:21.750><c> our</c><00:55:21.929><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:55:27.670 --> 00:55:28.489
the<00:55:27.869><c> people</c>

00:55:28.489 --> 00:55:33.670

00:55:34.949 --> 00:55:36.389
We've<00:55:34.989><c> run</c><00:55:35.090><c> out</c><00:55:35.250><c> of</c><00:55:35.389><c> time,</c><00:55:35.750><c> brothers</c><00:55:35.829><c> and</c><00:55:36.070><c> sisters.</c>
