For<00:10:13.990><c> example,</c><00:10:14.509><c> just</c><00:10:14.690><c> let's</c><00:10:14.990><c> start</c><00:10:15.350><c> with</c><00:10:15.629><c> our</c><00:10:15.850><c> English.</c>

00:10:16.789 --> 00:10:20.830

00:10:27.769 --> 00:10:30.909
The<00:10:28.769><c> translators</c><00:10:29.429><c> have</c><00:10:29.649><c> quite</c><00:10:29.889><c> often</c><00:10:30.190><c> done</c><00:10:30.389><c> that,</c>

00:10:38.490 --> 00:10:41.769
That's<00:10:38.809><c> why</c><00:10:39.070><c> I</c><00:10:39.309><c> put</c><00:10:39.450><c> in</c><00:10:39.669><c> the</c><00:10:39.950><c> Strong's</c><00:10:40.309><c> Number,</c><00:10:41.269><c> and</c><00:10:41.429><c> in</c><00:10:41.649><c> the</c>

where<00:10:43.470><c> you</c><00:10:43.690><c> see</c><00:10:43.870><c> that</c><00:10:44.070><c> we've</c><00:10:44.370><c> got,</c><00:10:44.769><c> or</c><00:10:45.009><c> the</c><00:10:45.169><c> first</c><00:10:45.409><c> two</c><00:10:45.590><c> to</c><00:10:45.710><c> be</c><00:10:45.970><c> exact,</c>

00:10:46.870 --> 00:10:49.590
where<00:10:46.970><c> we've</c><00:10:47.149><c> got</c><00:10:47.289><c> a</c><00:10:47.570><c> slash</c><00:10:47.769><c> between</c><00:10:48.210><c> them,</c><00:10:48.830><c> I'm</c><00:10:49.090><c> saying</c><00:10:49.409><c> that</c>

00:10:49.590 --> 00:10:52.009
there<00:10:49.850><c> is</c><00:10:50.070><c> both</c><00:10:50.370><c> the</c><00:10:50.549><c> word</c><00:10:51.070><c> rakam</c>

00:10:55.090 --> 00:10:58.070
So<00:10:55.570><c> what</c><00:10:55.870><c> we</c><00:10:56.070><c> are</c><00:10:56.289><c> going</c><00:10:56.490><c> to</c><00:10:56.649><c> be</c><00:10:56.830><c> doing</c><00:10:56.970><c> in</c><00:10:57.149><c> the</c><00:10:57.230><c> next</c><00:10:57.429><c> few</c><00:10:57.669><c> studies</c>

00:10:58.070 --> 00:11:02.429

00:11:11.769 --> 00:11:15.049
Perhaps<00:11:12.029><c> one</c><00:11:12.269><c> of</c><00:11:12.409><c> the</c><00:11:12.649><c> first</c><00:11:12.929><c> exercises</c><00:11:13.509><c> many</c><00:11:13.909><c> of</c><00:11:14.029><c> us</c><00:11:14.190><c> did</c><00:11:14.309><c> when</c><00:11:14.529><c> we</c>

And,<00:11:19.830><c> you</c><00:11:20.429><c> know,</c><00:11:20.850><c> that's</c><00:11:21.289><c> nice</c><00:11:21.629><c> and</c><00:11:21.889><c> clear</c><00:11:22.149><c>-cut.</c>

00:11:26.110 --> 00:11:29.769
And<00:11:26.509><c> aeon</c><00:11:26.830><c> always</c><00:11:27.129><c> means</c><00:11:27.350><c> the</c><00:11:27.649><c> age,</c><00:11:28.629><c> and</c><00:11:28.889><c> cosmos</c><00:11:29.269><c> the</c><00:11:29.490><c> order</c>

apology<00:11:39.669><c> either,</c>

00:11:40.629 --> 00:11:44.389
it's<00:11:41.129><c> not</c><00:11:41.629><c> altogether</c><00:11:42.330><c> possible</c><00:11:43.070><c> to</c><00:11:43.490><c> put</c><00:11:43.690><c> each</c><00:11:43.950><c> one</c><00:11:44.070><c> of</c><00:11:44.169><c> these</c>

00:13:10.210 --> 00:13:12.470
That's<00:13:10.669><c> what</c><00:13:10.909><c> he</c><00:13:11.129><c> is</c><00:13:11.309><c> going</c><00:13:11.490><c> to</c><00:13:11.669><c> do.</c>

00:13:23.669 --> 00:13:28.110
And<00:13:23.809><c> so</c><00:13:24.029><c> Moses</c><00:13:24.509><c> is</c><00:13:24.789><c> now</c><00:13:25.049><c> going</c><00:13:25.269><c> to</c><00:13:25.490><c> learn</c><00:13:25.649><c> more</c><00:13:25.929><c> about</c><00:13:26.250><c> God's</c><00:13:26.909><c> ways.</c>

00:13:28.570 --> 00:13:32.049
It's<00:13:28.970><c> going</c><00:13:29.070><c> to</c><00:13:29.289><c> take</c><00:13:29.529><c> much</c><00:13:29.850><c> longer</c><00:13:30.370><c> for</c><00:13:30.950><c> the</c><00:13:31.110><c> children</c><00:13:31.350><c> of</c><00:13:31.509><c> Israel</c><00:13:31.809><c> to</c>

Psalm<00:13:35.830><c> 103.</c>

00:13:37.090 --> 00:13:40.830
I<00:13:37.129><c> think</c><00:13:37.990><c> the</c><00:13:38.330><c> verse</c><00:13:38.590><c> was</c><00:13:38.990><c> verse</c><00:13:40.389><c> 13.</c>

In<00:13:41.090><c> fact,</c><00:13:41.409><c> we'll</c><00:13:43.049><c> check</c><00:13:43.269><c> that</c><00:13:43.450><c> in</c><00:13:43.529><c> a</c><00:13:43.590><c> moment.</c>

00:13:43.809 --> 00:13:44.590
It's<00:13:43.929><c> in</c><00:13:44.090><c> Psalm</c><00:13:44.210><c> 103.</c>

Psalm<00:13:45.049><c> 103</c><00:13:45.669><c> is</c><00:13:46.049><c> almost</c><00:13:46.330><c> the</c><00:13:46.590><c> summary</c><00:13:46.870><c> really</c><00:13:47.190><c> of</c><00:13:47.289><c> this</c><00:13:47.850><c> whole</c><00:13:48.190><c> story.</c>

00:13:49.509 --> 00:13:53.009
So<00:13:50.009><c> we're</c><00:13:50.490><c> coming</c><00:13:50.710><c> then</c><00:13:51.009><c> to</c><00:13:51.210><c> our</c><00:13:51.789><c> first</c><00:13:52.169><c> word.</c>

00:13:58.029 --> 00:14:00.450
I'm<00:13:58.409><c> not</c><00:13:58.570><c> going</c><00:13:58.750><c> to</c><00:13:58.950><c> attempt</c><00:13:59.169><c> to</c><00:13:59.470><c> try</c><00:13:59.610><c> and</c><00:13:59.830><c> pronounce</c><00:14:00.110><c> it</c><00:14:00.289><c> as</c>

00:14:01.169 --> 00:14:04.529
because<00:14:01.490><c> one</c><00:14:01.690><c> I</c><00:14:01.850><c> don't</c><00:14:02.190><c> know,</c><00:14:03.330><c> and</c><00:14:03.570><c> I'll</c><00:14:03.730><c> just</c><00:14:03.950><c> do</c><00:14:04.110><c> their</c><00:14:04.309><c> best.</c>

00:14:04.549 --> 00:14:07.590
But<00:14:04.750><c> it</c><00:14:05.149><c> looks</c><00:14:05.389><c> something</c><00:14:05.769><c> like</c><00:14:06.110><c> rakum.</c>

00:14:07.730 --> 00:14:11.970

where<00:14:36.710><c> we</c><00:14:36.950><c> read</c><00:14:37.169><c> there</c><00:14:37.669><c> that</c><00:14:38.690><c> I</c><00:14:39.429><c> will</c><00:14:39.870><c> show</c><00:14:40.210><c> mercy</c><00:14:40.970><c> on</c><00:14:41.750><c> whom</c><00:14:42.029><c> I</c>

00:14:42.230 --> 00:14:43.529
will<00:14:42.549><c> show</c><00:14:42.830><c> mercy.</c>

00:14:44.009 --> 00:14:48.809
So<00:14:44.250><c> that</c><00:14:44.429><c> in</c><00:14:44.629><c> Exodus</c><00:14:44.950><c> 34,</c><00:14:45.649><c> he</c><00:14:45.970><c> says</c><00:14:46.509><c> that</c><00:14:47.149><c> Yahweh</c><00:14:47.529><c> is</c><00:14:47.850><c> merciful.</c>

00:14:49.149 --> 00:14:50.529
Why<00:14:49.490><c> are</c><00:14:49.690><c> they</c><00:14:49.889><c> different</c><00:14:50.129><c> words?</c>

00:14:50.789 --> 00:14:52.350
Well,<00:14:50.929><c> they're</c><00:14:51.049><c> not</c><00:14:51.350><c> really</c><00:14:51.730><c> different</c><00:14:52.070><c> words.</c>

00:14:52.370 --> 00:14:54.950
It's<00:14:52.649><c> just</c><00:14:52.850><c> a</c><00:14:53.070><c> different</c><00:14:53.309><c> grammatical</c><00:14:53.929><c> form.</c>

00:14:56.250 --> 00:14:59.330
And<00:14:56.730><c> therefore,</c><00:14:57.350><c> the</c><00:14:57.409><c> word</c><00:14:57.690><c> is</c><00:14:58.190><c> effectively</c><00:14:58.649><c> the</c><00:14:58.950><c> same.</c>

00:14:59.649 --> 00:15:02.710
If<00:14:59.809><c> we're</c><00:15:00.029><c> going</c><00:15:00.230><c> to</c><00:15:00.370><c> be</c><00:15:00.570><c> pedantic,</c><00:15:01.110><c> we'll</c><00:15:01.330><c> say</c><00:15:01.450><c> it's</c><00:15:01.769><c> a</c><00:15:01.870><c> cognate</c><00:15:02.309><c> word.</c>

00:15:03.090 --> 00:15:04.169
But<00:15:03.230><c> you</c><00:15:03.330><c> know</c><00:15:03.429><c> what</c><00:15:03.529><c> I'm</c><00:15:03.769><c> going</c><00:15:03.870><c> to</c><00:15:04.049><c> say?</c>

00:15:04.210 --> 00:15:06.169
I'm<00:15:04.450><c> going</c><00:15:04.549><c> to</c><00:15:04.669><c> say</c><00:15:04.730><c> it's</c><00:15:04.970><c> the</c><00:15:05.129><c> same</c><00:15:05.330><c> word.</c>

00:15:06.269 --> 00:15:09.429
That's<00:15:06.610><c> the</c><00:15:06.809><c> simplest</c><00:15:07.169><c> way</c><00:15:07.470><c> out</c><00:15:07.649><c> of</c><00:15:07.750><c> it,</c><00:15:08.169><c> even</c><00:15:08.590><c> though</c><00:15:08.950><c> it's</c><00:15:09.269><c> a</c>

00:15:09.429 --> 00:15:10.370
different<00:15:09.590><c> number</c><00:15:09.889><c> in</c><00:15:10.210><c> strong.</c>

00:15:10.590 --> 00:15:13.529
And<00:15:10.889><c> for</c><00:15:11.129><c> our</c><00:15:11.350><c> young</c><00:15:11.490><c> ones</c><00:15:11.750><c> here,</c><00:15:11.950><c> or</c><00:15:12.129><c> maybe</c><00:15:12.389><c> older</c><00:15:12.730><c> ones</c><00:15:13.129><c> who</c>

00:15:13.529 --> 00:15:14.830
are<00:15:13.710><c> not</c><00:15:13.889><c> familiar</c><00:15:14.210><c> with</c><00:15:14.370><c> the</c><00:15:14.610><c> fact,</c>

00:15:15.210 --> 00:15:21.309
notice<00:15:15.529><c> that</c><00:15:15.789><c> 7349</c><00:15:17.330><c> and</c><00:15:17.549><c> 7355</c><00:15:19.289><c> are</c><00:15:19.669><c> numbers</c><00:15:19.909><c> which</c><00:15:20.110><c> are</c><00:15:20.330><c> fairly</c><00:15:20.529><c> close</c><00:15:20.870><c> together.</c>

00:15:21.309 --> 00:15:24.830
So<00:15:21.769><c> all</c><00:15:22.149><c> of</c><00:15:22.370><c> the</c><00:15:22.509><c> words</c><00:15:22.769><c> in</c><00:15:22.929><c> that</c><00:15:23.250><c> particular</c><00:15:23.649><c> area</c><00:15:24.070><c> of</c><00:15:24.429><c> strong</c>

00:15:24.830 --> 00:15:28.009
will<00:15:25.289><c> have</c><00:15:25.549><c> something</c><00:15:25.970><c> to</c><00:15:26.190><c> do</c><00:15:26.389><c> with</c><00:15:26.629><c> this</c><00:15:26.970><c> word</c><00:15:27.250><c> rakum,</c>

00:15:32.029 --> 00:15:34.889
And<00:15:32.169><c> they</c><00:15:32.350><c> all</c><00:15:32.590><c> have</c><00:15:32.850><c> then</c><00:15:33.029><c> this</c><00:15:33.450><c> same</c><00:15:34.090><c> cognate</c><00:15:34.610><c> meaning.</c>

00:15:35.009 --> 00:15:37.009
I'm<00:15:35.149><c> just</c><00:15:35.350><c> going</c><00:15:35.450><c> to</c><00:15:35.610><c> say</c><00:15:35.669><c> it's</c><00:15:35.889><c> the</c><00:15:36.029><c> same</c><00:15:36.210><c> word.</c>

00:15:37.190 --> 00:15:39.690
So<00:15:37.450><c> with</c><00:15:37.850><c> that</c><00:15:37.990><c> as</c><00:15:38.169><c> the</c><00:15:38.350><c> definition,</c><00:15:38.830><c> and</c><00:15:38.970><c> not</c><00:15:39.129><c> an</c><00:15:39.309><c> apology,</c>

00:15:40.190 --> 00:15:41.690
please<00:15:40.450><c> accept</c><00:15:40.950><c> that.</c>

00:15:41.730 --> 00:15:43.250
I'm<00:15:41.929><c> going</c><00:15:41.990><c> to</c><00:15:42.009><c> have</c><00:15:42.350><c> to</c><00:15:42.350><c> apologise</c><00:15:42.690><c> for</c><00:15:42.909><c> saying</c><00:15:43.049><c> it.</c>

00:15:43.490 --> 00:15:47.809
Anyway,<00:15:45.090><c> so</c><00:15:45.309><c> here's</c><00:15:45.730><c> our</c><00:15:45.970><c> word,</c><00:15:46.190><c> and</c><00:15:46.409><c> it's</c><00:15:46.629><c> the</c><00:15:46.710><c> first</c><00:15:46.970><c> one</c><00:15:47.370><c> on</c>

00:15:47.809 --> 00:15:49.190
our<00:15:48.029><c> sheet</c><00:15:48.350><c> here.</c>

00:15:49.690 --> 00:15:54.450
Let's<00:15:50.129><c> take</c><00:15:50.490><c> a</c><00:15:50.690><c> general</c><00:15:51.350><c> assessment</c><00:15:51.929><c> of</c><00:15:52.350><c> what</c><00:15:52.549><c> we're</c><00:15:52.769><c> going</c><00:15:52.970><c> to</c><00:15:53.210><c> find</c><00:15:53.450><c> as</c><00:15:53.809><c> in</c><00:15:53.909><c> a</c><00:15:54.110><c> moment,</c>

00:15:54.850 --> 00:15:57.950
we're<00:15:55.090><c> going</c><00:15:55.330><c> to</c><00:15:55.409><c> look</c><00:15:55.610><c> at</c><00:15:55.769><c> a</c><00:15:55.809><c> number</c><00:15:56.149><c> of</c><00:15:56.409><c> quotations.</c>

00:15:58.529 --> 00:16:03.429
The<00:15:58.690><c> word</c><00:15:59.129><c> rakam</c><00:15:59.909><c> refers</c><00:16:01.429><c> to</c><00:16:02.029><c> what</c><00:16:02.190><c> has</c><00:16:02.450><c> been</c><00:16:02.610><c> defined</c><00:16:02.990><c> as</c>

00:16:03.429 --> 00:16:05.230
deep<00:16:03.850><c> love,</c>

00:16:05.970 --> 00:16:10.149
usually<00:16:06.509><c> of</c><00:16:06.830><c> a</c><00:16:07.149><c> superior</c><00:16:07.710><c> for</c><00:16:08.730><c> an</c><00:16:09.049><c> inferior.</c>

00:16:10.669 --> 00:16:15.149
And<00:16:11.169><c> it's</c><00:16:11.669><c> rooted</c><00:16:12.029><c> generally</c><00:16:12.649><c> in</c><00:16:13.049><c> some</c><00:16:13.409><c> natural</c><00:16:14.009><c> bond.</c>

00:16:15.509 --> 00:16:19.009
It<00:16:16.149><c> is</c><00:16:16.529><c> used</c><00:16:16.769><c> for</c><00:16:17.029><c> the</c><00:16:17.210><c> deep</c><00:16:17.509><c> inward</c><00:16:17.950><c> feeling</c><00:16:18.429><c> that</c><00:16:18.610><c> we</c><00:16:18.750><c> know</c>

00:16:19.009 --> 00:16:24.090
variously<00:16:19.730><c> as</c><00:16:19.970><c> compassion,</c><00:16:21.470><c> as</c><00:16:21.850><c> pity,</c><00:16:22.789><c> as</c><00:16:23.129><c> mercy.</c>

00:16:24.549 --> 00:16:27.029
The<00:16:24.730><c> depth</c><00:16:24.990><c> of</c><00:16:25.190><c> this</c><00:16:25.409><c> love</c><00:16:25.549><c> is</c><00:16:25.750><c> shown</c><00:16:26.009><c> by</c><00:16:26.269><c> the</c><00:16:26.529><c> connection</c><00:16:26.830><c> of</c>

00:16:27.029 --> 00:16:30.149
this<00:16:27.269><c> word</c><00:16:27.629><c> with</c><00:16:28.289><c> the</c><00:16:28.470><c> Hebrew</c><00:16:28.990><c> rekam,</c>

00:16:30.830 --> 00:16:35.029
which<00:16:30.889><c> means</c><00:16:31.289><c> the</c><00:16:31.629><c> womb,</c><00:16:32.690><c> as</c><00:16:32.830><c> in</c><00:16:33.009><c> Psalm</c><00:16:33.210><c> 22</c><00:16:33.750><c> verse</c><00:16:34.129><c> 10.</c>

00:16:35.350 --> 00:16:39.429
Hence<00:16:35.649><c> it</c><00:16:35.830><c> is</c><00:16:36.090><c> used</c><00:16:36.330><c> of</c><00:16:36.610><c> a</c><00:16:36.830><c> mother's</c><00:16:37.269><c> love</c><00:16:37.730><c> towards</c><00:16:38.190><c> her</c><00:16:38.429><c> nursing</c><00:16:38.769><c> baby,</c>

00:16:39.929 --> 00:16:43.789
Isaiah<00:16:40.289><c> 49</c><00:16:40.950><c> verse</c><00:16:41.269><c> 15,</c><00:16:41.909><c> where</c><00:16:42.009><c> it's</c><00:16:42.350><c> translated</c><00:16:42.730><c> as</c><00:16:43.029><c> compassion.</c>

00:16:43.789 --> 00:16:49.909
And<00:16:44.629><c> it</c><00:16:44.789><c> can</c><00:16:45.029><c> also</c><00:16:45.409><c> refer</c><00:16:45.950><c> to</c><00:16:46.429><c> a</c><00:16:46.769><c> father's</c><00:16:47.649><c> love</c><00:16:48.009><c> to</c><00:16:48.330><c> his</c><00:16:48.649><c> children,</c>

00:16:50.350 --> 00:16:55.009
as<00:16:50.450><c> in</c><00:16:50.669><c> Psalm</c><00:16:50.909><c> 103</c><00:16:51.529><c> verse</c><00:16:51.990><c> 13,</c><00:16:53.049><c> where</c><00:16:53.250><c> the</c><00:16:53.409><c> word</c><00:16:53.610><c> is</c><00:16:53.950><c> piteous.</c>

00:16:55.289 --> 00:16:58.190
Now<00:16:55.490><c> I</c><00:16:55.750><c> particularly</c><00:16:56.470><c> highlighted</c><00:16:57.190><c> this</c><00:16:57.570><c> relationship,</c>

00:16:58.289 --> 00:17:00.049
this<00:16:58.509><c> family</c><00:16:58.889><c> relationship.</c>

00:17:00.990 --> 00:17:03.889
Let's<00:17:01.330><c> remind</c><00:17:01.649><c> ourselves</c><00:17:02.070><c> again</c><00:17:02.389><c> where</c><00:17:02.549><c> we're</c><00:17:02.750><c> coming</c><00:17:03.009><c> from.</c>

00:17:04.049 --> 00:17:06.630
We're<00:17:04.269><c> coming</c><00:17:04.529><c> from</c><00:17:04.769><c> a</c><00:17:05.009><c> situation</c><00:17:05.529><c> where</c><00:17:05.829><c> Yahweh</c><00:17:06.069><c> said,</c><00:17:06.509><c> I'm</c>

00:17:06.630 --> 00:17:08.849
going<00:17:06.789><c> to</c><00:17:07.069><c> destroy</c><00:17:07.329><c> those</c><00:17:07.670><c> people.</c>

00:17:09.670 --> 00:17:13.990
And<00:17:10.150><c> having</c><00:17:10.630><c> said,</c><00:17:12.029><c> OK,</c><00:17:12.190><c> I</c><00:17:12.309><c> won't</c><00:17:12.529><c> destroy</c><00:17:12.970><c> them,</c>

00:17:14.329 --> 00:17:16.130
he<00:17:14.490><c> then</c><00:17:14.750><c> says,</c><00:17:14.930><c> well,</c><00:17:15.089><c> I'll</c><00:17:15.289><c> show</c><00:17:15.509><c> you</c><00:17:15.609><c> what</c><00:17:15.730><c> I'm</c><00:17:15.910><c> really</c>

00:17:16.130 --> 00:17:17.289
like,<00:17:16.349><c> Moses.</c>

00:17:17.670 --> 00:17:20.210
And<00:17:17.809><c> we've</c><00:17:18.049><c> now</c><00:17:18.269><c> got</c><00:17:18.430><c> all</c><00:17:18.650><c> these</c><00:17:18.910><c> terms</c><00:17:19.150><c> merciful,</c><00:17:20.029><c> gracious,</c>

00:17:20.450 --> 00:17:22.950
long<00:17:20.690><c>-suffering,</c><00:17:21.250><c> abundant</c><00:17:21.470><c> in</c><00:17:21.650><c> goodness,</c><00:17:22.170><c> truth.</c>

00:17:23.269 --> 00:17:25.490
And<00:17:23.349><c> yet</c><00:17:23.509><c> that</c><00:17:23.750><c> God,</c><00:17:24.410><c> a</c><00:17:24.549><c> little</c><00:17:24.730><c> while</c><00:17:24.930><c> earlier,</c><00:17:25.170><c> was</c><00:17:25.309><c> going</c>

00:17:25.490 --> 00:17:27.269
to<00:17:25.769><c> destroy</c><00:17:26.069><c> those</c><00:17:26.390><c> people.</c>

00:17:27.809 --> 00:17:29.589
Did<00:17:27.950><c> he</c><00:17:28.170><c> change</c><00:17:28.470><c> his</c><00:17:28.730><c> mind?</c>

00:17:29.970 --> 00:17:33.809
Yes,<00:17:30.609><c> because</c><00:17:30.990><c> the</c><00:17:31.210><c> word</c><00:17:31.430><c> repent</c><00:17:32.089><c> means</c><00:17:32.730><c> to</c><00:17:32.970><c> rethink.</c>

00:17:33.930 --> 00:17:36.529
But<00:17:34.130><c> these</c><00:17:34.549><c> attributes</c><00:17:35.109><c> were</c><00:17:35.450><c> always</c><00:17:35.869><c> in</c><00:17:36.089><c> the</c><00:17:36.210><c> back</c><00:17:36.369><c> of</c><00:17:36.450><c> it.</c>

00:17:36.529 --> 00:17:38.829
And<00:17:36.609><c> I'm</c><00:17:36.690><c> not</c><00:17:36.930><c> going</c><00:17:37.089><c> to</c><00:17:37.210><c> try</c><00:17:37.349><c> to</c><00:17:37.490><c> explain</c><00:17:37.789><c> it</c><00:17:37.970><c> all</c><00:17:38.109><c> now</c><00:17:38.349><c> because</c><00:17:38.569><c> it's</c>

00:17:38.829 --> 00:17:40.170
going<00:17:38.970><c> to</c><00:17:39.150><c> take</c><00:17:39.329><c> really</c><00:17:39.490><c> the</c><00:17:39.730><c> whole</c><00:17:39.869><c> week.</c>

00:17:40.589 --> 00:17:43.650
But<00:17:40.650><c> never</c><00:17:40.890><c> let's</c><00:17:41.250><c> forget</c><00:17:41.710><c> these</c><00:17:42.509><c> attributes</c><00:17:43.150><c> are</c><00:17:43.390><c> being</c>

00:17:43.650 --> 00:17:45.130
announced<00:17:44.089><c> here</c>

00:17:45.269 --> 00:17:49.289
in<00:17:45.750><c> response</c><00:17:46.210><c> to</c><00:17:46.450><c> Moses'</c><00:17:47.230><c> plea,</c><00:17:47.829><c> show</c><00:17:47.950><c> me</c><00:17:48.150><c> thy</c><00:17:48.329><c> glory.</c>

00:17:49.349 --> 00:17:52.630
Having<00:17:49.549><c> previously</c><00:17:50.130><c> said,</c><00:17:50.430><c> show</c><00:17:50.769><c> me</c><00:17:51.009><c> thy</c><00:17:51.250><c> way,</c><00:17:52.210><c> I</c><00:17:52.349><c> want</c><00:17:52.490><c> to</c>

00:17:52.630 --> 00:17:53.549
know<00:17:52.730><c> more</c><00:17:52.990><c> about</c><00:17:53.289><c> you.</c>

00:17:53.630 --> 00:17:55.049
So<00:17:53.829><c> here</c><00:17:53.990><c> it</c><00:17:54.210><c> comes.</c>

00:17:55.789 --> 00:17:57.710
Let's<00:17:56.089><c> then</c><00:17:56.390><c> take</c><00:17:56.670><c> a</c><00:17:56.890><c> series</c><00:17:57.130><c> of</c><00:17:57.450><c> passages.</c>

00:17:57.789 --> 00:18:01.029
And<00:17:57.930><c> this</c><00:17:58.130><c> is</c><00:17:58.430><c> the</c><00:17:59.369><c> time</c><00:17:59.730><c> now</c><00:18:00.009><c> where</c><00:18:00.230><c> I'm</c><00:18:00.390><c> just</c><00:18:00.630><c> going</c><00:18:00.750><c> to</c><00:18:00.930><c> put</c>

00:18:01.029 --> 00:18:02.089
them<00:18:01.210><c> up</c><00:18:01.329><c> on</c><00:18:01.509><c> the</c><00:18:01.769><c> screen.</c>

00:18:02.470 --> 00:18:03.829
You<00:18:02.650><c> may</c><00:18:02.849><c> like</c><00:18:03.009><c> to</c><00:18:03.230><c> copy</c><00:18:03.390><c> them</c><00:18:03.630><c> down.</c>

00:18:03.829 --> 00:18:06.809
But<00:18:04.210><c> if</c><00:18:04.549><c> we</c><00:18:04.829><c> were</c><00:18:05.089><c> to</c><00:18:05.150><c> look</c><00:18:05.289><c> all</c><00:18:05.609><c> of</c><00:18:05.690><c> them</c><00:18:05.829><c> up,</c><00:18:06.390><c> I</c><00:18:06.470><c> don't</c><00:18:06.670><c> think</c>

00:18:06.809 --> 00:18:08.789
we<00:18:06.950><c> would</c><00:18:07.150><c> achieve</c><00:18:07.450><c> anything</c><00:18:07.869><c> more</c><00:18:08.130><c> at</c><00:18:08.289><c> this</c><00:18:08.470><c> stage,</c>

00:18:08.970 --> 00:18:11.190
except<00:18:09.309><c> we</c><00:18:09.430><c> would</c><00:18:09.630><c> lose</c><00:18:09.869><c> a</c><00:18:09.950><c> lot</c><00:18:10.190><c> of</c><00:18:10.430><c> time.</c>

00:18:11.609 --> 00:18:15.369
So<00:18:11.609><c> let's</c><00:18:12.150><c> then</c><00:18:13.190><c> do</c><00:18:14.329><c> that.</c>

00:18:15.589 --> 00:18:19.549
Just<00:18:15.890><c> before</c><00:18:16.230><c> doing</c><00:18:16.450><c> that,</c><00:18:16.690><c> I've</c><00:18:17.069><c> put</c><00:18:17.250><c> up</c><00:18:17.470><c> here</c><00:18:17.990><c> the</c><00:18:18.890><c> Greek</c><00:18:19.210><c> word,</c>

which<00:18:19.809><c> is</c><00:18:20.170><c> generally</c><00:18:20.869><c> the</c><00:18:21.470><c> word</c><00:18:21.710><c> that</c><00:18:21.910><c> is</c><00:18:22.190><c> used</c><00:18:22.670><c> in</c><00:18:23.309><c> place</c><00:18:23.529><c> of</c><00:18:23.789><c> racum.</c>

00:18:25.549 --> 00:18:29.769
Generally,<00:18:26.890><c> for</c><00:18:27.049><c> those</c><00:18:27.250><c> of</c><00:18:27.450><c> you</c><00:18:27.589><c> who</c><00:18:27.829><c> do</c><00:18:27.990><c> a</c><00:18:28.029><c> little</c><00:18:28.309><c> bit</c><00:18:28.609><c> deeper</c><00:18:28.910><c> Bible</c><00:18:29.329><c> study,</c>

00:18:29.769 --> 00:18:33.509
you<00:18:30.369><c> will</c><00:18:30.609><c> know,</c><00:18:30.829><c> of</c><00:18:31.049><c> course,</c><00:18:31.549><c> that</c><00:18:31.789><c> the</c><00:18:32.309><c> Greek</c><00:18:32.630><c> version</c><00:18:33.170><c> of</c>

the<00:18:33.670><c> Old</c><00:18:33.930><c> Testament</c><00:18:34.250><c> is</c><00:18:34.490><c> called</c><00:18:34.710><c> the</c><00:18:34.849><c> Septuagint.</c>

00:18:36.069 --> 00:18:39.970
And<00:18:36.230><c> one</c><00:18:36.410><c> might</c><00:18:36.670><c> think,</c><00:18:36.950><c> ah,</c><00:18:37.410><c> all</c><00:18:37.609><c> we've</c><00:18:37.829><c> got</c><00:18:37.930><c> to</c><00:18:38.029><c> do</c><00:18:38.210><c> is</c><00:18:38.369><c> to</c><00:18:38.609><c> find</c><00:18:39.009><c> what</c><00:18:39.710><c> is</c>

00:18:39.970 --> 00:18:41.609
the<00:18:40.190><c> Greek</c><00:18:40.390><c> word</c><00:18:40.609><c> in</c><00:18:40.789><c> the</c><00:18:40.930><c> Septuagint.</c>

00:18:41.809 --> 00:18:44.109
And<00:18:41.950><c> when</c><00:18:42.069><c> we</c><00:18:42.269><c> go</c><00:18:42.450><c> over</c><00:18:42.630><c> to</c><00:18:42.789><c> the</c><00:18:42.869><c> New</c><00:18:43.089><c> Testament,</c><00:18:43.769><c> it's</c><00:18:44.029><c> going</c>

00:18:44.109 --> 00:18:45.170
to<00:18:44.230><c> be</c><00:18:44.390><c> the</c><00:18:44.549><c> same</c><00:18:44.730><c> there.</c>

00:18:45.589 --> 00:18:46.849
And<00:18:45.849><c> I'm</c><00:18:46.009><c> afraid</c><00:18:46.289><c> it's</c><00:18:46.609><c> not.</c>

00:18:47.210 --> 00:18:50.789
Even<00:18:47.509><c> that</c><00:18:47.769><c> is</c><00:18:48.349><c> just</c><00:18:48.670><c> as</c><00:18:48.910><c> consistent</c><00:18:49.309><c> as</c><00:18:49.490><c> the</c><00:18:49.690><c> English</c><00:18:50.009><c> translators.</c>

00:18:51.269 --> 00:18:55.730
However,<00:18:52.230><c> the</c><00:18:52.369><c> normal</c><00:18:52.789><c> word</c><00:18:53.210><c> translated</c><00:18:53.829><c> as</c><00:18:54.170><c> mercy</c><00:18:54.750><c> in</c><00:18:55.569><c> the</c>

New<00:18:55.970><c> Testament,</c>

00:18:58.250 --> 00:19:03.289
I<00:18:58.769><c> reckon</c><00:18:59.289><c> this</c><00:18:59.990><c> is</c><00:19:00.369><c> the</c><00:19:00.589><c> essence</c><00:19:01.069><c> of</c><00:19:01.490><c> the</c><00:19:01.710><c> definition</c><00:19:02.130><c> of</c><00:19:02.410><c> this</c><00:19:02.630><c> word,</c><00:19:02.849><c> both</c><00:19:03.130><c> in</c>

00:19:03.289 --> 00:19:04.170
the<00:19:03.450><c> Old</c><00:19:03.630><c> and</c><00:19:03.730><c> the</c><00:19:03.910><c> New.</c>

00:19:04.529 --> 00:19:06.970
And<00:19:04.609><c> I'm</c><00:19:04.730><c> going</c><00:19:04.849><c> to</c><00:19:05.009><c> keep</c><00:19:05.190><c> coming</c><00:19:05.410><c> back</c><00:19:05.690><c> to</c><00:19:05.789><c> this</c><00:19:06.029><c> one.</c>

00:19:07.650 --> 00:19:10.329
It's<00:19:07.710><c> the</c><00:19:08.009><c> outward</c><00:19:08.390><c> manifestation</c><00:19:09.150><c> of</c><00:19:09.390><c> pity,</c>

00:19:11.289 --> 00:19:16.230
but<00:19:11.450><c> it</c><00:19:11.890><c> assumes</c><00:19:12.450><c> a</c><00:19:12.950><c> need</c><00:19:13.150><c> on</c><00:19:13.509><c> the</c><00:19:13.769><c> part</c><00:19:14.029><c> of</c><00:19:14.289><c> him</c><00:19:14.450><c> who</c><00:19:14.710><c> receives</c><00:19:15.190><c> it,</c>

00:19:16.950 --> 00:19:21.269
and<00:19:17.470><c> resources</c><00:19:17.990><c> adequate</c><00:19:18.670><c> to</c><00:19:18.990><c> meet</c><00:19:19.190><c> the</c><00:19:19.450><c> need</c><00:19:19.809><c> on</c><00:19:20.869><c> the</c><00:19:21.109><c> part</c>

00:19:23.630 --> 00:19:27.190
So<00:19:24.150><c> I've</c><00:19:24.670><c> got</c><00:19:24.809><c> some</c><00:19:25.089><c> need,</c><00:19:25.390><c> whatever</c><00:19:25.670><c> that</c><00:19:25.869><c> might</c><00:19:26.089><c> be,</c><00:19:26.690><c> obviously</c><00:19:27.009><c> a</c><00:19:27.009><c> lot</c>

00:19:27.190 --> 00:19:28.130

00:24:15.029 --> 00:24:19.170
I<00:24:15.130><c> said,</c><00:24:15.369><c> when</c><00:24:15.410><c> you're</c><00:24:15.670><c> young</c><00:24:15.990><c> and</c><00:24:17.130><c> your</c><00:24:17.309><c> parents</c><00:24:17.529><c> reprimand</c><00:24:18.130><c> you,</c>

00:24:20.869 --> 00:24:22.670
I<00:24:21.029><c> said,</c><00:24:21.130><c> that's</c><00:24:21.470><c> not</c><00:24:21.690><c> severity.</c>

00:24:22.789 --> 00:24:24.190
God's<00:24:23.150><c> severity</c><00:24:23.450><c> is</c><00:24:23.690><c> to</c><00:24:23.849><c> destroy</c><00:24:24.029><c> you.</c>

00:24:36.970 --> 00:24:39.170

So<00:24:41.930><c> notice</c><00:24:42.529><c> I</c><00:24:42.670><c> didn't</c><00:24:42.869><c> say</c><00:24:43.109><c> grandfather.</c>

Hebrews<00:24:55.849><c> chapter</c><00:24:56.329><c> 12</c><00:24:57.069><c> says</c><00:24:57.549><c> that</c><00:24:57.869><c> God's</c><00:24:58.410><c> chastening</c><00:24:59.069><c> is</c><00:24:59.849><c> part</c>

00:25:10.069 --> 00:25:12.809
He<00:25:10.230><c> changed</c><00:25:10.670><c> his</c><00:25:10.950><c> mind</c><00:25:11.089><c> on</c><00:25:11.170><c> that,</c><00:25:11.430><c> I</c><00:25:11.430><c> will</c><00:25:11.730><c> not</c><00:25:11.910><c> destroy</c><00:25:12.329><c> them,</c>

00:25:17.309 --> 00:25:20.130
And<00:25:17.490><c> you</c><00:25:17.589><c> thought</c><00:25:17.730><c> I</c><00:25:17.849><c> took</c><00:25:17.990><c> that</c><00:25:18.150><c> from</c><00:25:18.309><c> Jeremiah</c><00:25:18.750><c> 30,</c><00:25:19.369><c> and</c><00:25:19.589><c> I</c><00:25:19.730><c> did,</c>

You<00:25:25.230><c> can't</c><00:25:25.529><c> see</c><00:25:25.630><c> it</c><00:25:25.750><c> at</c><00:25:25.849><c> the</c><00:25:25.990><c> moment,</c><00:25:26.349><c> but</c><00:25:26.509><c> it</c><00:25:26.670><c> is</c><00:25:26.869><c> there.</c>

00:25:28.509 --> 00:25:29.789

00:25:32.089 --> 00:25:33.769
We<00:25:32.170><c> might</c><00:25:32.329><c> just</c><00:25:32.569><c> really</c><00:25:32.750><c> look</c><00:25:32.869><c> these</c><00:25:33.069><c> up,</c><00:25:33.309><c> mightn't</c><00:25:33.549><c> we,</c><00:25:33.609><c> over</c>

For<00:26:19.369><c> as</c><00:26:19.609><c> often</c><00:26:19.750><c> as</c><00:26:19.990><c> I</c><00:26:20.210><c> spoke</c><00:26:20.410><c> against</c><00:26:20.849><c> him,</c><00:26:21.230><c> I</c><00:26:21.390><c> earnestly</c><00:26:21.910><c> remember</c><00:26:22.329><c> him</c><00:26:22.650><c> still.</c>

00:26:23.730 --> 00:26:26.990
So<00:26:23.990><c> my</c><00:26:24.289><c> heart</c><00:26:24.650><c> is</c><00:26:25.430><c> stirred</c><00:26:25.650><c> for</c><00:26:25.910><c> him.</c>

00:26:27.150 --> 00:26:31.369
Pitying,<00:26:28.089><c> I</c><00:26:28.349><c> will</c><00:26:28.569><c> have</c><00:26:28.809><c> pity</c><00:26:29.089><c> on</c><00:26:29.410><c> him</c><00:26:30.009><c> declares</c><00:26:30.710><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:26:31.789 --> 00:26:34.349
And<00:26:31.970><c> that</c><00:26:32.210><c> last</c><00:26:32.509><c> little</c><00:26:32.849><c> bit,</c><00:26:33.289><c> of</c><00:26:33.509><c> course,</c><00:26:33.710><c> is</c><00:26:33.890><c> the</c><00:26:33.990><c> way</c><00:26:34.150><c> that</c>

00:26:34.349 --> 00:26:37.609
the<00:26:34.509><c> Hebrew</c><00:26:34.690><c> often</c><00:26:35.150><c> says</c><00:26:35.809><c> something</c><00:26:36.369><c> emphatically,</c>

00:26:38.109 --> 00:26:40.410
like<00:26:38.670><c> dying</c><00:26:39.230><c> thou</c><00:26:39.549><c> shalt</c><00:26:39.869><c> die.</c>

00:26:40.890 --> 00:26:43.650
It<00:26:41.009><c> really</c><00:26:41.190><c> means</c><00:26:41.509><c> thou</c><00:26:41.890><c> shalt</c><00:26:42.349><c> surely</c><00:26:42.670><c> die.</c>

00:26:43.750 --> 00:26:45.490
So<00:26:43.910><c> it's</c><00:26:44.269><c> emphatic.</c>

00:26:45.970 --> 00:26:47.470
Ephraim<00:26:46.289><c> is</c><00:26:46.529><c> my</c><00:26:46.849><c> dear</c><00:26:47.170><c> son.</c>

00:26:47.690 --> 00:26:50.130
Ephraim<00:26:48.069><c> was</c><00:26:48.230><c> the</c><00:26:48.430><c> ten</c><00:26:48.630><c> tribes</c><00:26:48.930><c> in</c><00:26:49.130><c> the</c><00:26:49.269><c> north.</c>

00:26:50.450 --> 00:26:52.690
They<00:26:50.650><c> were</c><00:26:51.009><c> the</c><00:26:51.150><c> ones</c><00:26:51.349><c> that</c><00:26:51.589><c> generally</c><00:26:51.849><c> there</c><00:26:52.069><c> was</c><00:26:52.289><c> not</c><00:26:52.470><c> much</c>

00:26:54.569 --> 00:26:57.490
And<00:26:54.769><c> yet</c><00:26:55.029><c> Yahweh</c><00:26:55.650><c> said,</c><00:26:56.430><c> I</c><00:26:56.470><c> can</c><00:26:56.630><c> help</c><00:26:56.789><c> those</c><00:26:57.069><c> people.</c>

00:26:57.950 --> 00:26:59.470
They've<00:26:58.390><c> got</c><00:26:58.509><c> a</c><00:26:58.690><c> need.</c>

00:26:59.690 --> 00:27:02.970
And<00:26:59.849><c> so</c><00:26:59.990><c> this</c><00:27:00.230><c> word</c><00:27:00.509><c> translated</c><00:27:01.049><c> here</c><00:27:01.390><c> pity</c><00:27:01.750><c> is</c><00:27:02.529><c> still</c><00:27:02.769><c> our</c>

00:27:02.970 --> 00:27:04.230
word<00:27:03.170><c> racom.</c>

00:27:04.650 --> 00:27:07.710
It's<00:27:05.109><c> not</c><00:27:05.309><c> only</c><00:27:05.730><c> the</c><00:27:05.930><c> fact</c><00:27:06.109><c> that</c><00:27:06.369><c> Yahweh</c><00:27:06.609><c> had</c><00:27:06.829><c> the</c><00:27:06.990><c> ability</c><00:27:07.470><c> to</c>

00:27:10.569 --> 00:27:13.769
And<00:27:10.609><c> let's</c><00:27:10.789><c> remember</c><00:27:11.109><c> that,</c><00:27:11.529><c> brethren</c><00:27:11.589><c> and</c><00:27:11.890><c> sisters,</c><00:27:12.150><c> because</c><00:27:12.869><c> when</c><00:27:13.289><c> we</c><00:27:13.470><c> see</c><00:27:13.630><c> a</c>

00:27:15.170 --> 00:27:17.470
maybe<00:27:15.450><c> they've</c><00:27:15.670><c> done</c><00:27:15.869><c> something</c><00:27:16.250><c> wrong.</c>

00:27:18.289 --> 00:27:21.910
Whatever<00:27:18.630><c> it</c><00:27:18.890><c> is,</c><00:27:20.630><c> I</c><00:27:20.930><c> think</c><00:27:21.069><c> I</c><00:27:21.210><c> can</c><00:27:21.410><c> help.</c>

00:27:22.289 --> 00:27:24.049

00:27:24.130 --> 00:27:25.329
Do<00:27:24.289><c> I</c><00:27:24.390><c> have</c><00:27:24.509><c> a</c><00:27:24.670><c> desire</c><00:27:25.009><c> to</c><00:27:25.170><c> help?</c>

00:27:25.529 --> 00:27:27.490
Are<00:27:25.710><c> they</c><00:27:25.890><c> as</c><00:27:26.109><c> bad</c><00:27:26.309><c> as</c><00:27:26.549><c> Ephraim?</c>

00:27:28.490 --> 00:27:31.750
God<00:27:28.950><c> could</c><00:27:29.269><c> still</c><00:27:29.609><c> show</c><00:27:29.890><c> that</c><00:27:30.349><c> attitude</c><00:27:30.690><c> unto</c><00:27:30.950><c> Ephraim.</c>

00:27:31.750 --> 00:27:35.069
And<00:27:32.170><c> that's</c><00:27:32.470><c> the</c><00:27:32.589><c> things</c><00:27:32.849><c> that,</c><00:27:33.210><c> till</c><00:27:33.509><c> the</c><00:27:33.690><c> Lord</c><00:27:33.890><c> returns,</c><00:27:34.609><c> every</c><00:27:34.829><c> one</c><00:27:34.990><c> of</c>

00:28:10.630 --> 00:28:13.029
I<00:28:11.049><c> think</c><00:28:11.289><c> it</c><00:28:11.450><c> wouldn't</c><00:28:11.690><c> be</c><00:28:11.890><c> inappropriate</c><00:28:12.349><c> to</c><00:28:12.569><c> make</c><00:28:12.809><c> comment</c>

Gracious<00:30:46.329><c> is</c><00:30:46.609><c> Yahweh</c><00:30:47.009><c> and</c><00:30:47.289><c> righteous,</c><00:30:48.089><c> yea</c><00:30:48.230><c> our</c><00:30:48.609><c> God</c><00:30:49.049><c> is</c><00:30:49.869><c> merciful.</c>

00:30:52.190 --> 00:30:55.529
Once<00:30:52.349><c> again,</c><00:30:52.849><c> we</c><00:30:52.849><c> notice</c><00:30:53.170><c> that</c><00:30:53.509><c> many</c><00:30:53.869><c> of</c><00:30:54.029><c> these</c><00:30:54.329><c> quotations</c><00:30:54.950><c> will</c><00:30:55.170><c> have</c><00:30:55.369><c> a</c>

00:30:59.509 --> 00:31:02.309
Mercy<00:30:59.869><c> therefore</c><00:31:00.430><c> is</c><00:31:00.710><c> something</c><00:31:01.150><c> which</c><00:31:01.450><c> we</c><00:31:01.710><c> receive</c><00:31:02.109><c> from</c>

00:31:02.309 --> 00:31:07.990

00:31:08.150 --> 00:31:10.710
You've<00:31:08.549><c> probably</c><00:31:08.910><c> heard</c><00:31:09.109><c> it</c><00:31:09.329><c> said</c><00:31:09.430><c> many</c><00:31:09.750><c> times</c><00:31:10.170><c> that</c><00:31:10.390><c> when</c><00:31:10.549><c> we</c>

go<00:31:10.869><c> to</c><00:31:11.009><c> God</c><00:31:11.210><c> in</c><00:31:11.470><c> prayer,</c><00:31:11.930><c> we</c><00:31:12.130><c> don't</c><00:31:12.309><c> just</c><00:31:12.569><c> ask</c><00:31:12.789><c> for</c><00:31:13.029><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:31:14.089 --> 00:31:16.970
Because<00:31:14.569><c> forgiveness</c><00:31:15.049><c> could</c><00:31:15.309><c> be</c><00:31:15.450><c> very</c><00:31:15.750><c> me</c><00:31:16.029><c>-centered.</c><00:31:16.670><c> Please</c>

00:31:16.970 --> 00:31:19.430
forgive<00:31:17.490><c> me</c><00:31:17.869><c> so</c><00:31:18.089><c> I</c><00:31:18.410><c> can</c><00:31:18.609><c> be</c><00:31:18.809><c> in</c><00:31:18.930><c> the</c><00:31:19.109><c> kingdom.</c>

00:31:19.890 --> 00:31:23.210
But<00:31:20.170><c> confession</c><00:31:20.769><c> of</c><00:31:21.089><c> sin</c><00:31:21.329><c> is</c><00:31:21.950><c> tantamount</c><00:31:22.390><c> to</c><00:31:22.589><c> declaring</c><00:31:22.970><c> the</c>

righteousness<00:31:23.589><c> of</c><00:31:23.890><c> God.</c>

00:31:24.869 --> 00:31:29.509
And<00:31:25.009><c> therefore</c><00:31:25.230><c> when</c><00:31:25.589><c> sins</c><00:31:25.829><c> are</c><00:31:26.170><c> confessed,</c><00:31:27.130><c> that</c><00:31:27.230><c> will</c><00:31:27.390><c> be</c><00:31:27.549><c> the</c><00:31:27.670><c> study</c><00:31:27.849><c> after</c><00:31:28.130><c> the</c><00:31:28.289><c> study</c><00:31:28.470><c> after</c><00:31:28.710><c> next</c><00:31:28.910><c> I</c><00:31:29.089><c> think.</c>

00:31:29.849 --> 00:31:35.210
When<00:31:29.970><c> we</c><00:31:30.049><c> look</c><00:31:30.210><c> at</c><00:31:30.369><c> that,</c><00:31:30.490><c> and</c><00:31:30.609><c> I'm</c><00:31:30.750><c> sure</c><00:31:30.990><c> that</c><00:31:31.210><c> Brother</c><00:31:31.410><c> Roy</c><00:31:31.609><c> is</c><00:31:31.769><c> going</c><00:31:31.869><c> to</c><00:31:31.990><c> be</c><00:31:32.109><c> dealing</c><00:31:32.269><c> with</c><00:31:32.450><c> that</c><00:31:32.950><c> in</c><00:31:33.150><c> just</c><00:31:33.309><c> about</c><00:31:33.450><c> every</c><00:31:33.809><c> study</c><00:31:34.069><c> I</c><00:31:34.329><c> guess.</c>

00:31:35.390 --> 00:31:38.569
When<00:31:35.690><c> sins</c><00:31:35.970><c> are</c><00:31:36.329><c> confessed,</c><00:31:37.150><c> God</c><00:31:37.430><c> is</c><00:31:37.750><c> declared</c><00:31:37.970><c> to</c><00:31:38.150><c> be</c><00:31:38.289><c> right.</c>

00:31:38.890 --> 00:31:42.269
And<00:31:39.049><c> God</c><00:31:39.289><c> said,</c><00:31:39.549><c> right,</c><00:31:39.650><c> I</c><00:31:39.769><c> can</c><00:31:40.049><c> extend</c><00:31:40.349><c> my</c><00:31:40.809><c> mercy</c><00:31:41.430><c> to</c><00:31:41.869><c> you.</c>

00:31:42.269 --> 00:31:46.789
So<00:31:43.130><c> sins</c><00:31:43.670><c> confessed</c><00:31:44.390><c> and</c><00:31:44.890><c> forsaken,</c><00:31:45.890><c> those</c><00:31:46.130><c> people</c><00:31:46.529><c> shall</c>

God's<00:33:04.309><c> mercy</c><00:33:04.710><c> must</c><00:33:05.049><c> be</c><00:33:05.309><c> balanced</c><00:33:05.589><c> of</c><00:33:05.769><c> course</c><00:33:05.990><c> against</c><00:33:06.289><c> his</c><00:33:06.569><c> justice.</c>

You'd<00:33:58.089><c> say,</c><00:33:58.250><c> well</c><00:33:58.250><c> that's</c><00:33:58.549><c> all</c><00:33:58.710><c> God's</c><00:33:59.109><c> wrath.</c>

00:33:59.890 --> 00:34:03.549
But<00:34:00.349><c> Habakkuk</c><00:34:00.809><c> says,</c><00:34:01.589><c> I</c><00:34:01.609><c> know</c><00:34:01.829><c> that</c><00:34:02.029><c> your</c><00:34:02.210><c> mercy</c><00:34:02.529><c> is</c><00:34:02.750><c> going</c><00:34:02.950><c> through</c><00:34:03.170><c> all</c><00:34:03.369><c> of</c>

00:34:06.990 --> 00:34:12.190
So<00:34:07.289><c> can</c><00:34:07.549><c> we</c><00:34:07.710><c> then</c><00:34:07.890><c> just</c><00:34:08.130><c> wind</c><00:34:08.329><c> up</c><00:34:08.929><c> for</c><00:34:09.210><c> this</c><00:34:09.429><c> morning</c><00:34:09.809><c> our</c><00:34:11.530><c> definition</c><00:34:11.989><c> of</c>

the<00:34:12.309><c> word</c><00:34:12.449><c> mercy.</c>

00:34:13.170 --> 00:34:17.130
Now<00:34:13.429><c> that's</c><00:34:13.630><c> what</c><00:34:13.809><c> I</c><00:34:14.269><c> showed</c><00:34:14.429><c> you</c><00:34:14.690><c> before,</c><00:34:15.070><c> that</c><00:34:15.289><c> particular</c><00:34:15.809><c> transparency.</c>

00:34:17.210 --> 00:34:19.269
It's<00:34:17.469><c> the</c><00:34:17.670><c> outward</c><00:34:17.949><c> manifestation</c><00:34:18.710><c> of</c><00:34:18.989><c> pity.</c>

00:34:19.650 --> 00:34:22.349
It<00:34:19.889><c> assumes</c><00:34:20.150><c> a</c><00:34:20.429><c> need</c><00:34:20.550><c> on</c><00:34:20.750><c> the</c><00:34:20.929><c> part</c><00:34:21.110><c> of</c><00:34:21.230><c> him</c><00:34:21.329><c> who</c><00:34:21.530><c> receives</c><00:34:21.929><c> it</c>

00:34:26.210 --> 00:34:29.130
And<00:34:26.610><c> we</c><00:34:26.769><c> now</c><00:34:27.090><c> add</c><00:34:27.429><c> to</c><00:34:27.590><c> that</c><00:34:27.949><c> this.</c>

00:34:29.829 --> 00:34:32.809
The<00:34:30.010><c> root</c><00:34:30.269><c> is</c><00:34:30.710><c> frequently</c><00:34:31.269><c> used</c><00:34:31.690><c> of</c><00:34:31.949><c> God.</c>

00:34:33.250 --> 00:34:35.630
It<00:34:33.409><c> incorporates</c><00:34:34.070><c> two</c><00:34:34.469><c> concepts.</c>

00:34:36.269 --> 00:34:40.829
The<00:34:36.429><c> strong</c><00:34:37.010><c> tie</c><00:34:37.389><c> that</c><00:34:37.710><c> God</c><00:34:37.989><c> has</c><00:34:38.389><c> with</c><00:34:38.590><c> those</c><00:34:38.889><c> that</c><00:34:39.050><c> he's</c><00:34:39.349><c> called</c><00:34:39.469><c> his</c><00:34:39.710><c> children.</c>

00:34:43.809 --> 00:34:46.510
And<00:34:43.969><c> the</c><00:34:44.230><c> second</c><00:34:44.590><c> concept</c><00:34:45.070><c> is</c><00:34:45.289><c> that</c><00:34:45.489><c> which</c><00:34:45.650><c> we</c><00:34:45.909><c> spent</c><00:34:46.070><c> all</c><00:34:46.329><c> of</c>

00:34:53.230 --> 00:34:55.190
I'm<00:34:53.570><c> not</c><00:34:53.789><c> putting</c><00:34:54.030><c> any</c><00:34:54.349><c> conditions</c><00:34:54.690><c> on</c><00:34:54.929><c> this.</c>

00:34:55.190 --> 00:34:57.210
It<00:34:55.489><c> is</c><00:34:55.750><c> my</c><00:34:56.050><c> decision.</c>

00:34:57.230 --> 00:35:01.829
He<00:34:57.369><c> is</c><00:34:57.690><c> gracious</c><00:34:58.250><c> and</c><00:34:59.090><c> he</c><00:34:59.230><c> is,</c><00:34:59.949><c> here's</c><00:35:00.309><c> our</c><00:35:00.530><c> word,</c><00:35:01.829><c> merciful</c>

00:35:08.650 --> 00:35:12.289

00:35:55.909 --> 00:35:57.190

00:40:51.769 --> 00:40:55.269
So<00:40:51.929><c> David</c><00:40:52.150><c> said,</c><00:40:53.050><c> he</c><00:40:53.150><c> will</c><00:40:53.449><c> repay</c><00:40:53.730><c> it</c><00:40:54.110><c> fourfold.</c>

00:40:56.329 --> 00:40:57.889
Nathan<00:40:56.590><c> said,</c><00:40:56.809><c> you're</c><00:40:56.969><c> the</c><00:40:57.110><c> man.</c>

00:40:58.710 --> 00:41:00.389
And<00:40:58.849><c> so</c><00:40:58.929><c> what</c><00:40:59.070><c> did</c><00:40:59.230><c> David</c><00:40:59.489><c> pay?</c>

00:41:01.969 --> 00:41:05.949
Absalom,<00:41:02.489><c> Adonijah,</c><00:41:03.949><c> Amnon,</c><00:41:04.789><c> and</c><00:41:04.909><c> the</c><00:41:05.110><c> child.</c>

00:41:06.210 --> 00:41:08.090
Four<00:41:06.530><c> of</c><00:41:06.690><c> his</c><00:41:06.849><c> children</c><00:41:07.250><c> had</c><00:41:07.510><c> to</c><00:41:07.750><c> go.</c>

00:41:08.090 --> 00:41:10.429
And<00:41:08.829><c> God</c><00:41:09.050><c> was</c><00:41:09.250><c> right</c><00:41:09.530><c> in</c><00:41:09.670><c> demanding</c><00:41:10.050><c> that.</c>

00:41:10.730 --> 00:41:12.329
But<00:41:10.789><c> God</c><00:41:10.989><c> didn't</c><00:41:11.190><c> just</c><00:41:11.389><c> say,</c><00:41:11.789><c> I</c><00:41:11.789><c> am</c><00:41:12.050><c> right.</c>

00:41:12.510 --> 00:41:13.329
You<00:41:12.730><c> have</c><00:41:12.989><c> said</c><00:41:13.170><c> it.</c>

00:41:13.329 --> 00:41:15.309
Therefore,<00:41:13.690><c> I</c><00:41:13.869><c> will</c><00:41:14.050><c> do</c><00:41:14.230><c> it.</c>

00:41:16.030 --> 00:41:19.570
But<00:41:16.190><c> neither</c><00:41:16.389><c> would</c><00:41:16.590><c> God</c><00:41:16.769><c> extend</c><00:41:17.150><c> grace</c><00:41:17.590><c> because</c><00:41:18.349><c> he</c><00:41:18.769><c> says,</c>

00:41:19.650 --> 00:41:23.170
the<00:41:19.710><c> consequences</c><00:41:20.389><c> of</c><00:41:20.610><c> your</c><00:41:20.829><c> sin,</c><00:41:21.070><c> David,</c><00:41:22.010><c> will</c><00:41:22.110><c> never</c><00:41:22.309><c> depart</c><00:41:22.610><c> from</c><00:41:22.889><c> you.</c>

00:41:23.510 --> 00:41:26.630
I'm<00:41:23.710><c> forgiving</c><00:41:24.010><c> you,</c><00:41:24.829><c> but</c><00:41:25.070><c> I'm</c><00:41:25.230><c> not</c><00:41:25.409><c> going</c><00:41:25.550><c> to</c><00:41:25.789><c> take</c><00:41:25.949><c> away</c><00:41:26.250><c> all</c>

00:41:26.630 --> 00:41:28.730

00:41:28.809 --> 00:41:32.130
And<00:41:29.250><c> we'll</c><00:41:29.570><c> try</c><00:41:29.670><c> to</c><00:41:29.889><c> see</c><00:41:30.429><c> how</c><00:41:30.809><c> the</c><00:41:31.010><c> Bible</c><00:41:31.309><c> describes</c><00:41:31.809><c> that.</c>

00:41:32.190 --> 00:41:33.909
And<00:41:32.489><c> I</c><00:41:32.610><c> hope</c><00:41:32.710><c> we're</c><00:41:32.909><c> going</c><00:41:33.030><c> to</c><00:41:33.150><c> go</c><00:41:33.289><c> away</c><00:41:33.449><c> from</c><00:41:33.630><c> this</c><00:41:33.809><c> school.</c>

00:41:33.909 --> 00:41:36.269
In<00:41:34.150><c> fact,</c><00:41:34.170><c> I'm</c><00:41:34.309><c> sure</c><00:41:34.550><c> we</c><00:41:34.769><c> will,</c><00:41:35.230><c> looking</c><00:41:35.489><c> at</c><00:41:35.650><c> our</c><00:41:35.869><c> own</c><00:41:36.070><c> lives</c>

00:41:39.190 --> 00:41:41.630
God<00:41:39.489><c> could,</c><00:41:39.730><c> if</c><00:41:39.849><c> he</c><00:41:39.969><c> wanted</c><00:41:40.150><c> to,</c><00:41:40.429><c> take</c><00:41:40.590><c> it</c><00:41:40.750><c> away.</c>

00:41:41.690 --> 00:41:43.829
For<00:41:41.849><c> some</c><00:41:42.130><c> reason,</c><00:41:42.389><c> I</c><00:41:42.530><c> don't</c><00:41:42.710><c> quite</c><00:41:42.989><c> know</c><00:41:43.170><c> at</c><00:41:43.329><c> the</c><00:41:43.489><c> moment.</c>

00:41:44.150 --> 00:41:45.710
He's<00:41:44.409><c> leaving</c><00:41:44.670><c> it</c><00:41:44.949><c> there.</c>

00:41:45.829 --> 00:41:48.130
And<00:41:46.070><c> one</c><00:41:46.269><c> day,</c><00:41:46.670><c> for</c><00:41:46.829><c> certain,</c><00:41:47.150><c> God</c><00:41:47.329><c> willing,</c><00:41:47.650><c> we</c><00:41:47.750><c> will</c><00:41:47.949><c> know</c>

00:41:48.130 --> 00:41:50.869
why,<00:41:48.849><c> if</c><00:41:49.170><c> we</c><00:41:49.409><c> are</c><00:41:49.590><c> developing</c><00:41:49.989><c> as</c><00:41:50.250><c> his</c><00:41:50.449><c> children.</c>

00:41:51.250 --> 00:41:54.690
But<00:41:51.429><c> if</c><00:41:51.590><c> we're</c><00:41:51.829><c> not,</c><00:41:52.030><c> if</c><00:41:52.190><c> we</c><00:41:52.389><c> turn</c><00:41:52.610><c> away</c><00:41:52.929><c> from</c><00:41:53.070><c> it</c><00:41:53.230><c> and</c><00:41:53.269><c> say,</c><00:41:53.349><c> oh,</c><00:41:53.929><c> I've</c><00:41:54.250><c> had</c><00:41:54.329><c> enough</c><00:41:54.530><c> of</c>

00:41:58.769 --> 00:42:00.190

00:42:00.710 --> 00:42:05.849
So<00:42:01.269><c> Moses,</c><00:42:02.349><c> sorry,</c><00:42:03.690><c> Yahweh,</c><00:42:03.989><c> in</c><00:42:04.010><c> this</c><00:42:04.250><c> case,</c><00:42:04.929><c> did</c><00:42:05.050><c> not</c><00:42:05.250><c> extend</c>

00:42:15.210 --> 00:42:19.050
Be<00:42:15.409><c> gracious</c><00:42:15.829><c> unto</c><00:42:16.110><c> me,</c><00:42:16.469><c> O</c><00:42:16.710><c> God,</c><00:42:17.570><c> according</c><00:42:17.909><c> to</c><00:42:18.110><c> the</c><00:42:18.190><c> loving</c><00:42:18.489><c> kindness,</c>

00:42:23.449 --> 00:42:27.389
Now,<00:42:23.809><c> did</c><00:42:24.250><c> Yahweh</c><00:42:24.829><c> show</c><00:42:25.090><c> grace</c><00:42:25.449><c> to</c><00:42:25.710><c> David</c><00:42:26.030><c> in</c><00:42:26.610><c> forgiving</c><00:42:26.889><c> his</c><00:42:27.230><c> sin?</c>

00:42:28.570 --> 00:42:32.750
He<00:42:29.429><c> didn't</c><00:42:29.690><c> extend</c><00:42:30.110><c> grace</c><00:42:30.429><c> to</c><00:42:30.610><c> him</c><00:42:30.909><c> in</c><00:42:31.429><c> keeping</c><00:42:31.690><c> that</c><00:42:31.929><c> child</c><00:42:32.210><c> alive,</c>

00:43:02.030 --> 00:43:03.909
Look<00:43:02.210><c> at</c><00:43:02.369><c> Israel</c><00:43:02.650><c> today.</c>

00:43:04.510 --> 00:43:08.010
Could<00:43:04.590><c> you</c><00:43:04.829><c> and</c><00:43:04.989><c> I</c><00:43:05.530><c> feel</c><00:43:06.010><c> that</c><00:43:06.150><c> they</c><00:43:06.469><c> deserve</c><00:43:06.809><c> to</c><00:43:07.010><c> be</c><00:43:07.230><c> saved?</c>

00:43:08.889 --> 00:43:10.829
I<00:43:08.949><c> mean,</c><00:43:09.230><c> you</c><00:43:09.389><c> couldn't,</c><00:43:09.809><c> could</c><00:43:09.929><c> you?</c>

00:43:13.230 --> 00:43:14.389
Well,<00:43:13.329><c> we</c><00:43:13.429><c> know</c><00:43:13.630><c> how</c><00:43:13.789><c> he</c><00:43:13.949><c> sees</c><00:43:14.210><c> them.</c>

00:43:14.449 --> 00:43:19.230
For<00:43:14.550><c> thy</c><00:43:14.889><c> servants</c><00:43:15.449><c> take</c><00:43:16.070><c> pleasure</c><00:43:16.449><c> in</c><00:43:16.650><c> her</c><00:43:16.929><c> stones</c><00:43:17.489><c> and</c><00:43:18.449><c> favour</c><00:43:18.889><c> the</c>

00:43:21.429 --> 00:43:23.369
The<00:43:21.489><c> dust</c><00:43:21.869><c> thereof.</c>

00:43:24.150 --> 00:43:26.630
Psalm<00:43:24.670><c> 116,</c><00:43:25.289><c> verse</c><00:43:25.510><c> 5.</c>

00:43:27.429 --> 00:43:29.730
Gracious<00:43:27.869><c> is</c><00:43:28.309><c> Yahweh</c><00:43:28.769><c> and</c><00:43:29.010><c> righteous.</c>

00:43:30.289 --> 00:43:32.570
Yea,<00:43:30.630><c> our</c><00:43:30.789><c> God</c><00:43:31.050><c> is</c><00:43:31.449><c> merciful.</c>

00:43:32.630 --> 00:43:35.809
See<00:43:32.769><c> how</c><00:43:32.989><c> those</c><00:43:33.530><c> two</c><00:43:33.750><c> words</c><00:43:33.889><c> are</c><00:43:34.030><c> being</c><00:43:34.269><c> used</c><00:43:34.510><c> together.</c>

00:43:35.909 --> 00:43:38.090
Isaiah<00:43:36.150><c> 26,</c><00:43:36.929><c> verse</c><00:43:37.130><c> 10.</c>

00:43:38.590 --> 00:43:42.030
Let<00:43:38.650><c> favour</c><00:43:39.250><c> be</c><00:43:39.570><c> shown</c><00:43:39.769><c> to</c><00:43:39.949><c> the</c><00:43:40.090><c> wicked,</c><00:43:41.429><c> yet</c><00:43:41.550><c> will</c><00:43:41.730><c> he</c><00:43:41.869><c> not</c>

00:43:42.030 --> 00:43:43.289
learn<00:43:42.230><c> righteousness.</c>

00:43:43.610 --> 00:43:47.409
So<00:43:43.849><c> you</c><00:43:44.010><c> see,</c><00:43:44.909><c> that's</c><00:43:45.210><c> why</c><00:43:45.690><c> you</c><00:43:46.230><c> may</c><00:43:46.449><c> say</c><00:43:46.690><c> to</c><00:43:46.889><c> your</c><00:43:47.130><c> child,</c>

00:43:47.889 --> 00:43:49.010
you've<00:43:48.070><c> done</c><00:43:48.230><c> the</c><00:43:48.429><c> wrong</c><00:43:48.610><c> thing.</c>

00:43:49.449 --> 00:43:50.869
You're<00:43:49.690><c> going</c><00:43:49.769><c> to</c><00:43:49.849><c> be</c><00:43:50.010><c> punished.</c>

00:43:51.090 --> 00:43:52.949
The<00:43:51.329><c> child</c><00:43:51.449><c> says,</c><00:43:51.750><c> yes,</c><00:43:51.909><c> I</c><00:43:51.989><c> have</c><00:43:52.190><c> done</c><00:43:52.349><c> the</c><00:43:52.550><c> wrong</c><00:43:52.730><c> thing.</c>

00:43:53.090 --> 00:43:54.389
Okay,<00:43:53.690><c> I've</c><00:43:53.909><c> forgiven</c><00:43:54.090><c> you.</c>

00:43:54.489 --> 00:43:55.510
Well,<00:43:54.650><c> now</c><00:43:54.789><c> can</c><00:43:54.949><c> I</c><00:43:55.050><c> go</c><00:43:55.250><c> out?</c>

00:43:55.510 --> 00:43:56.510
No.

00:43:57.110 --> 00:43:58.070
Why?

00:43:58.289 --> 00:44:01.230
Well,<00:43:59.230><c> not</c><00:43:59.389><c> always</c><00:43:59.590><c> easy</c><00:43:59.809><c> to</c><00:43:59.949><c> explain</c><00:44:00.250><c> to</c><00:44:00.389><c> them.</c>

00:44:01.409 --> 00:44:05.269
You've<00:44:01.710><c> forgiven</c><00:44:01.969><c> them,</c><00:44:02.510><c> but</c><00:44:02.889><c> the</c><00:44:03.349><c> consequences</c><00:44:03.889><c> must</c><00:44:04.269><c> remain.</c>

00:44:06.349 --> 00:44:08.349
We're<00:44:06.469><c> not</c><00:44:06.730><c> saying</c><00:44:06.969><c> our</c><00:44:07.250><c> children</c><00:44:07.510><c> are</c><00:44:07.710><c> perhaps</c><00:44:07.949><c> as</c><00:44:08.170><c> wicked</c>

00:44:08.349 --> 00:44:11.130
as<00:44:08.670><c> this</c><00:44:08.949><c> verse</c><00:44:09.130><c> is</c><00:44:09.349><c> necessarily</c><00:44:09.769><c> talking</c><00:44:10.090><c> about,</c>

00:44:11.230 --> 00:44:13.090
but<00:44:11.230><c> well,</c><00:44:12.150><c> degrees</c><00:44:12.369><c> of</c><00:44:12.590><c> wickedness</c><00:44:12.949><c> perhaps.</c>

00:44:13.510 --> 00:44:16.369
Let<00:44:13.829><c> favour</c><00:44:14.210><c> be</c><00:44:14.510><c> shown</c><00:44:14.730><c> to</c><00:44:14.909><c> the</c><00:44:15.070><c> wicked,</c><00:44:15.750><c> yet</c><00:44:15.849><c> will</c><00:44:15.989><c> he</c><00:44:16.150><c> not</c>

learn<00:44:16.969><c> righteousness.</c>

00:44:17.969 --> 00:44:21.889
So<00:44:18.250><c> it's</c><00:44:18.469><c> not</c><00:44:18.769><c> just</c><00:44:19.090><c> going</c><00:44:19.230><c> to</c><00:44:19.429><c> be</c><00:44:19.809><c> a</c><00:44:20.050><c> totally</c><00:44:20.409><c> abounding</c><00:44:21.329><c> love</c>

00:44:22.809 --> 00:44:26.309
oh,<00:44:23.269><c> let's</c><00:44:23.750><c> just</c><00:44:23.969><c> forgive</c><00:44:24.269><c> and</c><00:44:24.570><c> forget</c><00:44:24.849><c> and</c><00:44:25.050><c> all</c><00:44:25.250><c> of</c><00:44:25.369><c> that</c><00:44:25.570><c> sort</c><00:44:25.769><c> of</c><00:44:25.949><c> thing.</c>

00:44:26.690 --> 00:44:30.389
This<00:44:26.949><c> forgive</c><00:44:27.269><c> and</c><00:44:27.570><c> forget,</c><00:44:29.250><c> don't</c><00:44:29.469><c> find</c><00:44:29.630><c> that</c><00:44:29.829><c> in</c><00:44:29.949><c> the</c><00:44:30.110><c> Bible</c>

00:44:30.389 --> 00:44:31.730
exactly<00:44:31.170><c> like</c><00:44:31.530><c> that,</c>

00:44:32.010 --> 00:44:33.730
and<00:44:32.010><c> we'll</c><00:44:32.329><c> again</c><00:44:32.449><c> talk</c><00:44:32.650><c> about</c><00:44:32.809><c> that</c><00:44:32.989><c> one</c><00:44:33.130><c> in</c><00:44:33.269><c> due</c><00:44:33.449><c> course.</c>

00:44:34.050 --> 00:44:37.329
So<00:44:34.369><c> notice</c><00:44:34.929><c> the</c><00:44:35.130><c> word</c><00:44:35.309><c> grace</c><00:44:35.630><c> coming</c><00:44:35.929><c> through</c><00:44:36.250><c> here.</c>

00:44:37.469 --> 00:44:39.630

00:44:40.030 --> 00:44:43.030
Therefore<00:44:40.409><c> will</c><00:44:40.789><c> Yahweh</c><00:44:41.309><c> wait</c><00:44:41.570><c> that</c><00:44:41.769><c> he</c><00:44:41.969><c> may</c><00:44:42.150><c> be</c><00:44:42.530><c> gracious</c>

00:44:46.710 --> 00:44:50.429
He<00:44:46.989><c> will</c><00:44:47.170><c> be</c><00:44:47.510><c> very</c><00:44:47.969><c> gracious</c><00:44:48.429><c> unto</c><00:44:48.789><c> thee,</c><00:44:49.590><c> at</c><00:44:49.789><c> the</c><00:44:49.969><c> voice</c><00:44:50.190><c> of</c>

unto<00:45:04.170><c> us.</c>

00:45:05.369 --> 00:45:07.789
This<00:45:05.690><c> hath</c><00:45:05.989><c> been</c><00:45:06.170><c> by</c><00:45:06.469><c> your</c><00:45:06.730><c> means.</c>

00:45:08.230 --> 00:45:11.949
Will<00:45:08.469><c> he</c><00:45:08.849><c> regard</c><00:45:09.309><c> or</c><00:45:09.510><c> will</c><00:45:09.690><c> he</c><00:45:09.969><c> accept</c><00:45:10.530><c> your</c><00:45:10.989><c> person?</c>

So<00:45:12.789><c> going</c><00:45:13.070><c> back</c><00:45:13.409><c> then</c><00:45:13.610><c> to</c><00:45:13.769><c> our</c><00:45:14.030><c> definition</c><00:45:14.449><c> which</c><00:45:14.650><c> we</c><00:45:14.889><c> saw</c><00:45:15.050><c> earlier</c>

00:45:39.030 --> 00:45:42.889
By<00:45:39.250><c> the</c><00:45:39.409><c> way,</c><00:45:40.469><c> about</c><00:45:40.670><c> an</c><00:45:40.869><c> hour</c><00:45:41.070><c> ago</c><00:45:41.530><c> that</c><00:45:42.610><c> read,</c>

00:45:46.710 --> 00:45:50.550
I<00:45:47.190><c> put</c><00:45:47.469><c> the</c><00:45:47.650><c> word</c><00:45:47.889><c> almost</c><00:45:48.349><c> in</c><00:45:48.690><c> because</c><00:45:49.210><c> there's</c><00:45:49.690><c> a</c><00:45:49.849><c> couple</c><00:45:50.010><c> of</c><00:45:50.289><c> places</c>

00:45:54.269 --> 00:45:56.530
So<00:45:54.429><c> to</c><00:45:54.630><c> qualify</c><00:45:55.070><c> that</c><00:45:55.329><c> in</c><00:45:55.449><c> case</c><00:45:55.650><c> there's</c><00:45:55.949><c> anybody</c><00:45:56.210><c> there</c>

00:46:00.269 --> 00:46:03.449
But<00:46:00.409><c> we'll</c><00:46:00.610><c> leave</c><00:46:00.750><c> the</c><00:46:00.969><c> word</c><00:46:01.090><c> almost</c><00:46:01.610><c> in</c><00:46:02.010><c> and</c><00:46:02.570><c> you</c><00:46:02.789><c> can</c><00:46:03.010><c> decide.</c>

00:46:03.869 --> 00:46:07.590
As<00:46:04.150><c> with</c><00:46:04.369><c> rakum,</c><00:46:05.070><c> almost</c><00:46:05.429><c> all</c><00:46:05.750><c> occurrences</c><00:46:06.269><c> of</c><00:46:06.570><c> kanan</c><00:46:07.130><c> refer</c>

to<00:46:07.769><c> God.</c>

00:46:08.769 --> 00:46:11.789
And<00:46:09.130><c> there</c><00:46:09.329><c> is</c><00:46:09.650><c> once</c><00:46:10.090><c> again</c><00:46:10.449><c> the</c><00:46:10.869><c> important</c><00:46:11.250><c> concept</c>

00:46:11.789 --> 00:46:14.329
of<00:46:12.429><c> God's</c><00:46:13.150><c> unconditioned</c><00:46:13.929><c> choice</c>

00:46:14.329 --> 00:46:17.289
because<00:46:14.889><c> this</c><00:46:15.210><c> is</c><00:46:15.409><c> the</c><00:46:15.630><c> other</c><00:46:15.809><c> of</c><00:46:16.010><c> those</c><00:46:16.289><c> two</c><00:46:16.550><c> words</c><00:46:16.809><c> back</c><00:46:17.090><c> in</c>

Exodus<00:46:17.570><c> 33.</c>

00:46:18.969 --> 00:46:24.309
He<00:46:19.210><c> is</c><00:46:19.510><c> gracious</c><00:46:20.170><c> and</c><00:46:20.670><c> merciful</c><00:46:21.289><c> to</c><00:46:22.389><c> whomsoever</c><00:46:22.969><c> he</c><00:46:23.289><c> chooses.</c>

00:46:26.090 --> 00:46:29.150
The<00:46:26.210><c> scripture,</c><00:46:26.590><c> doctrine</c><00:46:26.949><c> of</c><00:46:27.150><c> election,</c><00:46:28.170><c> whom</c><00:46:28.269><c> God</c><00:46:28.510><c> has</c><00:46:28.809><c> chosen,</c>

00:46:29.269 --> 00:46:32.489
whom<00:46:29.369><c> he</c><00:46:29.530><c> has</c><00:46:29.690><c> elected,</c><00:46:30.389><c> and</c><00:46:30.530><c> it</c><00:46:30.670><c> all</c><00:46:30.829><c> has</c><00:46:31.030><c> to</c><00:46:31.230><c> do</c><00:46:31.369><c> with</c><00:46:31.789><c> our</c><00:46:32.090><c> attitude.</c>

00:46:32.989 --> 00:46:34.230
The<00:46:33.250><c> call</c><00:46:33.409><c> goes</c><00:46:33.710><c> out.</c>

00:46:34.590 --> 00:46:39.590
If<00:46:34.829><c> we</c><00:46:35.090><c> accept</c><00:46:35.630><c> the</c><00:46:36.030><c> call,</c><00:46:36.829><c> we</c><00:46:36.989><c> are</c><00:46:37.289><c> designated</c><00:46:37.869><c> as</c><00:46:38.429><c> the</c><00:46:38.710><c> called.</c>

00:46:39.989 --> 00:46:42.190
And<00:46:40.349><c> God</c><00:46:40.570><c> therefore</c><00:46:41.010><c> treats</c><00:46:41.289><c> us</c><00:46:41.530><c> as</c><00:46:41.670><c> his</c><00:46:41.849><c> children.</c>

00:46:42.190 --> 00:46:45.750
So<00:46:42.789><c> we've</c><00:46:43.670><c> looked</c><00:46:43.809><c> then</c><00:46:44.030><c> at</c><00:46:44.170><c> those</c><00:46:44.469><c> two</c><00:46:44.769><c> words.</c>

00:46:46.269 --> 00:46:52.429
We<00:46:46.429><c> want</c><00:46:46.590><c> to</c><00:46:46.730><c> pick</c><00:46:46.869><c> up</c><00:46:47.050><c> now</c><00:46:47.510><c> what</c><00:46:48.769><c> is</c><00:46:49.090><c> that</c><00:46:49.449><c> expanded</c><00:46:50.650><c> paraphrase</c>

00:46:55.389 --> 00:46:58.369
and<00:46:55.949><c> said</c><00:46:56.150><c> hopefully</c><00:46:56.710><c> we'll</c><00:46:56.989><c> be</c><00:46:57.110><c> able</c><00:46:57.250><c> to</c><00:46:57.610><c> understand</c><00:46:58.050><c> that</c><00:46:58.269><c> a</c>

00:47:01.969 --> 00:47:06.670

00:47:15.730 --> 00:47:19.230
Moses<00:47:16.010><c> said,</c><00:47:16.690><c> I</c><00:47:16.730><c> beseech</c><00:47:17.250><c> thee,</c><00:47:17.489><c> show</c><00:47:17.730><c> me</c><00:47:17.909><c> thy</c><00:47:18.090><c> glory.</c>

And<00:47:19.630><c> Yahweh</c><00:47:19.889><c> said,</c><00:47:20.289><c> I</c><00:47:20.369><c> will</c><00:47:20.570><c> make</c><00:47:20.769><c> all</c><00:47:21.110><c> my</c><00:47:21.670><c> goodness</c><00:47:22.289><c> pass</c>

00:47:29.610 --> 00:47:34.670
I<00:47:29.789><c> will</c><00:47:30.130><c> bend</c><00:47:30.510><c> and</c><00:47:31.030><c> stoop</c><00:47:31.389><c> in</c><00:47:31.710><c> kindness</c><00:47:32.269><c> as</c><00:47:33.250><c> the</c><00:47:33.510><c> great</c><00:47:33.769><c> creator</c><00:47:34.329><c> of</c><00:47:34.550><c> the</c>

This<00:47:42.889><c> favor</c><00:47:43.309><c> or</c><00:47:43.610><c> grace</c><00:47:44.230><c> stems</c><00:47:44.769><c> purely</c><00:47:45.409><c> from</c><00:47:45.769><c> my</c><00:47:46.150><c> loving</c><00:47:46.449><c> kindness.</c>

00:48:11.670 --> 00:48:17.289
And<00:48:11.849><c> I</c><00:48:12.030><c> will</c><00:48:12.329><c> show</c><00:48:12.650><c> this</c><00:48:13.030><c> mercy</c><00:48:13.590><c> on</c><00:48:14.929><c> whomsoever</c><00:48:15.530><c> I</c><00:48:16.010><c> choose</c><00:48:16.610><c> to</c>

00:48:17.289 --> 00:48:18.510
show<00:48:17.489><c> mercy.</c>

00:48:19.050 --> 00:48:24.650
I<00:48:19.369><c> know</c><00:48:19.690><c> their</c><00:48:19.969><c> need</c><00:48:20.469><c> and</c><00:48:21.389><c> I</c><00:48:21.789><c> alone</c><00:48:22.190><c> have</c><00:48:22.469><c> the</c><00:48:22.650><c> resources</c><00:48:23.250><c> adequate</c><00:48:24.070><c> to</c>

00:48:26.469 --> 00:48:30.389
And<00:48:26.969><c> so</c><00:48:27.130><c> that's</c><00:48:27.309><c> why</c><00:48:27.530><c> Paul</c><00:48:27.969><c> in</c><00:48:28.389><c> Romans</c><00:48:28.750><c> 9</c><00:48:29.110><c> verses</c><00:48:29.429><c> 15</c><00:48:29.829><c> and</c><00:48:29.969><c> 16</c>

00:48:30.389 --> 00:48:31.110
could<00:48:30.690><c> say,</c>

00:48:31.590 --> 00:48:33.610
it<00:48:31.610><c> is</c><00:48:31.829><c> not</c><00:48:32.010><c> of</c><00:48:32.150><c> him</c><00:48:32.309><c> that</c><00:48:32.550><c> willeth,</c><00:48:33.170><c> Moses.</c>

00:48:33.610 --> 00:48:37.949
At<00:48:34.230><c> this</c><00:48:34.489><c> time,</c><00:48:35.309><c> Moses</c><00:48:35.389><c> didn't</c><00:48:35.710><c> understand</c><00:48:36.170><c> what</c><00:48:36.289><c> was</c><00:48:36.510><c> the</c><00:48:36.650><c> right</c><00:48:36.829><c> thing</c><00:48:36.969><c> to</c><00:48:37.150><c> do.</c>

00:48:38.210 --> 00:48:41.190
Nor<00:48:38.369><c> of</c><00:48:38.530><c> him</c><00:48:38.730><c> that</c><00:48:39.010><c> runneth,</c><00:48:39.550><c> because</c><00:48:39.869><c> Israel</c><00:48:40.250><c> understood</c>

00:48:41.190 --> 00:48:42.550
even<00:48:41.510><c> less.</c>

00:48:42.610 --> 00:48:45.469
But<00:48:42.750><c> of</c><00:48:42.949><c> God</c><00:48:43.690><c> that</c><00:48:44.150><c> showeth</c><00:48:44.429><c> mercy.</c>

00:48:46.530 --> 00:48:48.690
Now<00:48:46.670><c> that</c><00:48:46.789><c> brings</c><00:48:47.010><c> us</c><00:48:47.230><c> to</c><00:48:47.409><c> the</c><00:48:47.550><c> third</c><00:48:47.809><c> word</c><00:48:48.030><c> and</c><00:48:48.150><c> this</c><00:48:48.369><c> can</c><00:48:48.510><c> be</c>

00:48:48.690 --> 00:48:50.130
done<00:48:48.849><c> fairly</c><00:48:49.190><c> quickly.</c>

00:48:50.210 --> 00:48:52.889
And<00:48:50.289><c> I</c><00:48:50.550><c> think</c><00:48:50.710><c> this</c><00:48:50.969><c> is</c><00:48:51.170><c> going</c><00:48:51.250><c> to</c><00:48:51.570><c> very,</c><00:48:51.889><c> very</c><00:48:52.309><c> beautifully</c>

00:48:52.889 --> 00:48:55.250
tie<00:48:53.369><c> together</c><00:48:53.730><c> the</c><00:48:53.969><c> two</c><00:48:54.090><c> we've</c><00:48:54.289><c> just</c><00:48:54.530><c> looked</c><00:48:54.750><c> at.</c>

00:48:55.550 --> 00:48:58.070
This<00:48:55.789><c> is</c><00:48:56.030><c> the</c><00:48:56.170><c> word</c><00:48:56.329><c> longsuffering.</c>

00:48:58.389 --> 00:49:01.570
The<00:48:59.110><c> word</c><00:48:59.329><c> longsuffering,</c><00:49:00.010><c> in</c><00:49:00.150><c> this</c><00:49:00.369><c> case</c><00:49:00.610><c> we've</c><00:49:01.010><c> given</c><00:49:01.170><c> both</c>

00:49:01.570 --> 00:49:04.250
the<00:49:01.829><c> Hebrew</c><00:49:02.250><c> and</c><00:49:03.130><c> the</c><00:49:03.429><c> Greek.</c>

00:49:04.670 --> 00:49:12.849
The<00:49:04.909><c> Hebrew</c><00:49:05.389><c> word</c><00:49:05.949><c> that</c><00:49:06.269><c> looks</c><00:49:06.550><c> like</c><00:49:06.949><c> arek</c><00:49:08.630><c> has</c><00:49:11.130><c> actually</c><00:49:12.250><c> two</c>

00:49:12.849 --> 00:49:14.090
strong<00:49:13.210><c> numbers.</c>

00:49:14.269 --> 00:49:18.070
Because<00:49:14.269><c> it's</c><00:49:14.989><c> actually,</c><00:49:15.550><c> it's</c><00:49:16.690><c> a</c><00:49:16.849><c> compound</c><00:49:17.250><c> word.</c>

00:49:18.489 --> 00:49:21.750
The<00:49:18.789><c> first</c><00:49:19.050><c> part</c><00:49:19.289><c> of</c><00:49:19.369><c> it</c><00:49:19.510><c> means</c><00:49:19.769><c> slow</c><00:49:20.489><c> and</c><00:49:21.110><c> the</c><00:49:21.289><c> second</c><00:49:21.510><c> part</c>

00:49:21.750 --> 00:49:22.489
means<00:49:22.070><c> anger.</c>

00:49:22.489 --> 00:49:26.250
And<00:49:22.989><c> in</c><00:49:23.230><c> fact</c><00:49:23.570><c> this</c><00:49:24.170><c> word,</c><00:49:24.949><c> it's</c><00:49:25.210><c> not</c><00:49:25.329><c> the</c><00:49:25.449><c> word</c><00:49:25.630><c> arek,</c><00:49:25.949><c> it's</c>

00:49:26.250 --> 00:49:27.610
arek<00:49:26.590><c> and</c><00:49:27.190><c> af.</c>

00:49:27.889 --> 00:49:31.349
There's<00:49:28.050><c> two</c><00:49:28.289><c> words.</c><00:49:28.929><c> It</c><00:49:29.150><c> literally</c><00:49:29.550><c> means</c><00:49:29.929><c> slow</c><00:49:30.269><c> to</c><00:49:30.489><c> anger.</c>

00:49:31.889 --> 00:49:34.969
And<00:49:32.110><c> has</c><00:49:32.349><c> been</c><00:49:32.650><c> translated</c><00:49:33.170><c> that</c><00:49:33.510><c> sometimes.</c>

00:49:35.269 --> 00:49:38.949
So<00:49:35.449><c> longsuffering</c><00:49:36.210><c> literally</c><00:49:36.690><c> means</c><00:49:37.369><c> slow</c><00:49:37.710><c> to</c><00:49:37.969><c> anger,</c><00:49:38.730><c> which</c>

00:49:38.949 --> 00:49:40.230
really<00:49:39.250><c> means</c><00:49:39.449><c> longsuffering.</c>

00:49:40.590 --> 00:49:43.130
So<00:49:40.829><c> the</c><00:49:41.010><c> Hebrew</c><00:49:41.230><c> then</c><00:49:41.489><c> has</c><00:49:41.750><c> two</c><00:49:42.090><c> words.</c>

00:49:43.829 --> 00:49:47.809
In<00:49:44.030><c> the</c><00:49:44.289><c> Greek</c><00:49:44.550><c> there</c><00:49:44.989><c> is</c><00:49:45.329><c> macro</c><00:49:46.230><c> thymio.</c>

00:49:47.809 --> 00:49:52.710
And<00:49:48.570><c> macro</c><00:49:48.969><c> or</c><00:49:49.309><c> macros</c><00:49:49.730><c> has</c><00:49:50.050><c> the</c><00:49:50.190><c> idea</c><00:49:50.530><c> of</c><00:49:51.030><c> large</c><00:49:51.369><c> or</c><00:49:51.730><c> long</c><00:49:52.070><c> and</c>

00:49:52.710 --> 00:49:54.829
thumos<00:49:53.289><c> is</c><00:49:53.869><c> passion.</c>

00:49:54.929 --> 00:50:00.610
So<00:49:55.230><c> it's</c><00:49:56.210><c> slow</c><00:49:56.530><c> to</c><00:49:57.030><c> anger,</c><00:49:57.550><c> it's</c><00:49:57.690><c> not</c><00:49:57.989><c> impatient</c><00:49:58.610><c> and</c><00:49:59.170><c> that</c><00:49:59.429><c> sort</c><00:49:59.670><c> of</c><00:49:59.829><c> thing.</c>

00:50:02.710 --> 00:50:05.050
I've<00:50:02.989><c> got</c><00:50:03.130><c> three</c><00:50:03.389><c> quotes</c><00:50:03.630><c> here</c><00:50:03.849><c> on</c><00:50:04.010><c> the</c><00:50:04.210><c> screen.</c><00:50:04.550><c> I</c><00:50:04.670><c> want</c><00:50:04.889><c> to</c>

00:50:05.050 --> 00:50:06.789
look<00:50:05.230><c> up</c><00:50:05.530><c> one</c><00:50:05.809><c> of</c><00:50:05.949><c> them.</c>

00:50:07.130 --> 00:50:11.590
The<00:50:07.269><c> three</c><00:50:07.530><c> quotes</c><00:50:07.789><c> are</c><00:50:08.050><c> Romans</c><00:50:08.489><c> chapter</c><00:50:08.909><c> 2</c><00:50:09.210><c> verse</c><00:50:09.530><c> 4,</c><00:50:11.190><c> Romans</c>

00:50:11.590 --> 00:50:13.550

00:50:14.050 --> 00:50:17.230
the<00:50:14.489><c> first</c><00:50:14.829><c> of</c><00:50:15.010><c> Timothy</c><00:50:15.409><c> chapter</c><00:50:15.789><c> 1</c><00:50:16.110><c> and</c><00:50:16.349><c> verse</c><00:50:16.590><c> 16.</c>

00:50:17.630 --> 00:50:19.969
Now<00:50:17.710><c> we're</c><00:50:17.809><c> not</c><00:50:18.010><c> going</c><00:50:18.190><c> to</c><00:50:18.329><c> put</c><00:50:18.429><c> these</c><00:50:18.690><c> ones</c><00:50:18.869><c> up</c><00:50:19.070><c> on</c><00:50:19.230><c> the</c><00:50:19.429><c> screen</c><00:50:19.630><c> apart</c>

00:50:19.969 --> 00:50:21.449
from<00:50:20.210><c> just</c><00:50:20.469><c> stating</c><00:50:20.670><c> where</c><00:50:20.849><c> they</c><00:50:21.090><c> are.</c>

00:50:21.710 --> 00:50:24.289
But<00:50:21.849><c> I'd</c><00:50:22.070><c> like</c><00:50:22.210><c> us</c><00:50:22.389><c> to</c><00:50:22.570><c> look</c><00:50:22.750><c> up</c><00:50:23.170><c> the</c><00:50:23.469><c> third</c><00:50:23.650><c> of</c><00:50:23.869><c> those,</c><00:50:24.130><c> which</c>

00:50:24.289 --> 00:50:28.110

00:50:29.409 --> 00:50:32.130
So<00:50:29.650><c> not</c><00:50:30.010><c> all</c><00:50:30.210><c> of</c><00:50:30.369><c> our</c><00:50:30.590><c> study</c><00:50:30.789><c> is</c><00:50:31.010><c> coming</c><00:50:31.210><c> from</c><00:50:31.429><c> the</c><00:50:31.590><c> Old</c><00:50:31.769><c> Testament.</c>

00:50:32.190 --> 00:50:34.949
We<00:50:32.489><c> certainly</c><00:50:32.949><c> want</c><00:50:33.190><c> to</c><00:50:33.369><c> bring</c><00:50:33.510><c> in</c><00:50:33.690><c> the</c><00:50:33.769><c> New</c><00:50:33.989><c> Testament,</c><00:50:34.510><c> but</c>

00:50:34.949 --> 00:50:38.969
it's<00:50:35.809><c> based</c><00:50:36.070><c> upon</c><00:50:36.349><c> our</c><00:50:37.190><c> consideration</c><00:50:37.849><c> of</c><00:50:38.090><c> Exodus</c><00:50:38.369><c> 34.</c>

00:50:38.969 --> 00:50:46.329
So<00:50:39.329><c> second</c><00:50:39.510><c> of</c><00:50:39.710><c> Peter</c><00:50:39.949><c> chapter</c><00:50:40.349><c> 3</c><00:50:41.869><c> and</c><00:50:42.730><c> verse</c><00:50:43.789><c> 15.</c>
