00:00:30.219 --> 00:00:34.659

00:00:37.859 --> 00:00:40.500
It's<00:00:38.219><c> really</c><00:00:38.439><c> a</c><00:00:38.579><c> word</c><00:00:38.679><c> that's</c><00:00:38.960><c> better</c><00:00:39.140><c> rendered</c><00:00:39.420><c> trouble.</c>

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.600
And<00:00:46.259><c> when</c><00:00:46.359><c> we</c><00:00:46.500><c> think</c><00:00:46.640><c> about</c><00:00:46.820><c> that</c><00:00:47.000><c> in</c><00:00:47.140><c> the</c><00:00:47.380><c> context</c><00:00:47.880><c> of</c><00:00:48.119><c> the</c><00:00:48.259><c> book</c><00:00:48.399><c> of</c>

00:00:57.219 --> 00:00:59.340
And<00:00:57.299><c> we</c><00:00:57.500><c> commented,</c><00:00:57.880><c> didn't</c><00:00:57.979><c> we,</c><00:00:58.079><c> how</c><00:00:58.240><c> there</c><00:00:58.740><c> is</c><00:00:58.979><c> this</c><00:00:59.179><c> time</c>

00:01:01.219 --> 00:01:05.420
The<00:01:01.439><c> typical</c><00:01:01.880><c> cycle</c><00:01:02.259><c> was</c><00:01:02.479><c> they</c><00:01:02.960><c> sinned,</c><00:01:03.659><c> they</c><00:01:03.820><c> were</c><00:01:04.000><c> punished,</c><00:01:04.799><c> God</c><00:01:05.000><c> brought</c><00:01:05.219><c> an</c>

00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.519
usually<00:01:06.480><c> one</c><00:01:06.659><c> of</c><00:01:06.799><c> the</c><00:01:07.200><c> other</c><00:01:07.459><c> nations</c><00:01:07.879><c> of</c><00:01:08.099><c> the</c><00:01:08.239><c> land.</c>

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.719
Then<00:01:08.980><c> they</c><00:01:09.200><c> cried</c><00:01:09.359><c> for</c><00:01:09.620><c> help,</c><00:01:10.060><c> and</c><00:01:10.379><c> as</c><00:01:10.540><c> a</c><00:01:10.640><c> result</c><00:01:10.819><c> of</c><00:01:11.000><c> that</c><00:01:11.200><c> cry,</c><00:01:11.519><c> God</c>

00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:15.700
But<00:01:13.239><c> this</c><00:01:13.739><c> time,</c><00:01:14.019><c> the</c><00:01:14.159><c> apathy</c><00:01:14.400><c> is</c><00:01:14.579><c> so</c><00:01:14.900><c> bad</c><00:01:15.099><c> that</c><00:01:15.219><c> there</c><00:01:15.420><c> is</c><00:01:15.560><c> not</c>

00:01:17.780 --> 00:01:20.739
Well,<00:01:18.780><c> against</c><00:01:19.099><c> that,</c><00:01:19.540><c> then,</c><00:01:19.900><c> the</c><00:01:20.019><c> Spirit</c><00:01:20.280><c> of</c><00:01:20.420><c> the</c><00:01:20.560><c> Lord</c>

Of<00:01:29.040><c> course,</c><00:01:29.200><c> they</c><00:01:29.299><c> were</c><00:01:29.500><c> supposed</c><00:01:29.780><c> to</c><00:01:29.920><c> have</c><00:01:30.219><c> moved</c><00:01:30.459><c> out</c><00:01:30.799><c> of</c><00:01:31.040><c> camps</c><00:01:31.340><c> by</c><00:01:31.680><c> now.</c>

00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.680
They<00:01:35.579><c> were</c><00:01:35.780><c> supposed</c><00:01:35.980><c> to</c><00:01:36.099><c> be</c><00:01:36.239><c> taking</c><00:01:36.439><c> up</c><00:01:36.659><c> residence</c><00:01:37.180><c> and</c><00:01:37.420><c> building</c><00:01:38.000><c> and</c>

00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:45.540
Yet<00:01:40.980><c> here,</c><00:01:41.340><c> the</c><00:01:41.500><c> tribe</c><00:01:41.680><c> of</c><00:01:41.980><c> Dan</c><00:01:42.180><c> are</c><00:01:42.459><c> still</c><00:01:42.659><c> in</c><00:01:42.840><c> a</c><00:01:43.060><c> camp</c><00:01:43.579><c> formation,</c><00:01:44.219><c> it</c><00:01:44.579><c> seems.</c>

00:01:46.579 --> 00:01:50.299
So<00:01:46.939><c> Samson</c><00:01:47.239><c> was</c><00:01:47.500><c> bothered</c><00:01:47.819><c> then</c><00:01:48.140><c> by</c><00:01:48.359><c> the</c><00:01:48.680><c> apathy</c><00:01:48.939><c> of</c><00:01:49.159><c> his</c><00:01:49.340><c> people.</c>

00:01:50.180 --> 00:01:52.519

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.560
Half<00:02:10.539><c> the</c><00:02:10.800><c> tribe,</c><00:02:11.000><c> we</c><00:02:11.139><c> know</c><00:02:11.360><c> from</c><00:02:11.939><c> subsequent</c><00:02:12.419><c> chapters,</c><00:02:12.780><c> although</c><00:02:12.960><c> they</c><00:02:13.159><c> belonged</c><00:02:13.400><c> to</c>

00:02:17.379 --> 00:02:20.919
They<00:02:17.500><c> just</c><00:02:17.659><c> couldn't</c><00:02:17.819><c> be</c><00:02:18.080><c> bothered,</c><00:02:19.159><c> and</c><00:02:19.319><c> those</c><00:02:19.680><c> that</c><00:02:20.000><c> remained</c><00:02:20.360><c> had</c><00:02:20.620><c> sort</c><00:02:20.800><c> of</c>

00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.979
attitude<00:02:22.939><c> where</c><00:02:23.180><c> they</c><00:02:23.800><c> were</c><00:02:23.979><c> happy</c><00:02:24.199><c> to</c><00:02:24.379><c> live</c><00:02:24.780><c> side</c><00:02:25.439><c> by</c><00:02:25.719><c> side</c>

00:02:25.979 --> 00:02:29.860
with<00:02:26.439><c> the</c><00:02:26.900><c> people,</c><00:02:28.840><c> the</c><00:02:29.080><c> nations</c><00:02:29.460><c> that</c>

00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.539
They<00:02:30.680><c> didn't</c><00:02:30.919><c> bother</c><00:02:31.219><c> to</c><00:02:31.819><c> drive</c><00:02:32.039><c> them</c><00:02:32.199><c> out,</c><00:02:32.439><c> particularly.</c>

00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:37.120
So<00:02:35.280><c> this</c><00:02:35.599><c> is</c><00:02:35.759><c> not</c><00:02:35.919><c> a</c><00:02:36.219><c> good</c><00:02:36.340><c> situation,</c><00:02:36.960><c> is</c><00:02:37.000><c> it?</c>

00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.900
And<00:02:37.379><c> Samson,</c><00:02:37.919><c> it</c><00:02:37.919><c> seems,</c><00:02:38.159><c> is</c><00:02:38.439><c> troubled</c><00:02:38.819><c> by</c><00:02:39.180><c> this</c><00:02:39.659><c> and</c><00:02:40.460><c> moved</c>

by<00:02:41.219><c> the</c><00:02:41.439><c> spirit</c><00:02:41.620><c> to</c><00:02:41.840><c> do</c><00:02:42.099><c> something.</c>

00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:47.460
And<00:02:43.379><c> so</c><00:02:43.659><c> he</c><00:02:43.800><c> goes</c><00:02:44.020><c> down</c><00:02:44.259><c> to</c><00:02:44.460><c> Timnath,</c><00:02:45.319><c> and</c><00:02:45.680><c> there</c><00:02:45.919><c> he</c><00:02:46.120><c> sees</c><00:02:46.419><c> a</c><00:02:46.819><c> woman,</c><00:02:47.300><c> a</c>

00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:51.120
And<00:02:49.159><c> this</c><00:02:49.280><c> is</c><00:02:49.419><c> where</c><00:02:49.479><c> we</c><00:02:49.659><c> begin,</c><00:02:49.819><c> isn't</c><00:02:49.939><c> it,</c><00:02:50.039><c> to</c><00:02:50.259><c> judge</c><00:02:50.580><c> Samson.</c>

00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:55.060
This<00:02:51.419><c> is</c><00:02:51.620><c> where</c><00:02:51.840><c> we</c><00:02:52.319><c> would</c><00:02:52.560><c> cast</c><00:02:52.840><c> dispersions</c><00:02:53.500><c> on</c><00:02:54.060><c> his</c><00:02:54.379><c> character</c><00:02:54.840><c> and</c>

00:02:55.060 --> 00:02:57.340
his<00:02:55.439><c> behavior,</c><00:02:55.960><c> his</c><00:02:56.219><c> motives.</c>

00:02:57.819 --> 00:03:00.539
And<00:02:58.199><c> we</c><00:02:58.520><c> see,</c><00:02:58.860><c> don't</c><00:02:58.960><c> we,</c><00:02:59.060><c> as</c><00:02:59.180><c> we</c><00:02:59.319><c> read</c><00:02:59.400><c> through</c><00:02:59.539><c> Brother</c><00:02:59.759><c> Graham,</c><00:03:00.099><c> that</c>

00:03:00.539 --> 00:03:02.099

00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:08.080
And<00:03:05.840><c> they</c><00:03:06.400><c> remonstrate</c><00:03:06.900><c> with</c><00:03:07.080><c> him,</c><00:03:07.219><c> is</c><00:03:07.280><c> there</c><00:03:07.419><c> never</c><00:03:07.659><c> a</c><00:03:07.879><c> woman</c>

00:03:09.379 --> 00:03:13.159
Why<00:03:09.919><c> do</c><00:03:10.099><c> you</c><00:03:10.180><c> have</c><00:03:10.280><c> to</c><00:03:10.439><c> go</c><00:03:10.879><c> after</c><00:03:11.259><c> a</c><00:03:11.659><c> wife</c><00:03:11.860><c> from</c><00:03:12.099><c> the</c><00:03:12.340><c> Philistines?</c>

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.919
To<00:03:13.460><c> which</c><00:03:13.680><c> Samson</c><00:03:14.039><c> replies,</c><00:03:14.560><c> get</c><00:03:14.699><c> her,</c><00:03:15.199><c> for</c><00:03:15.259><c> she</c><00:03:15.580><c> pleaseth</c><00:03:15.960><c> me.</c>

00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:21.659
And<00:03:17.439><c> we</c><00:03:17.659><c> might</c><00:03:18.180><c> interpret</c><00:03:18.719><c> that,</c><00:03:19.039><c> mightn't</c><00:03:19.280><c> we,</c><00:03:19.439><c> as</c><00:03:19.719><c> a</c><00:03:19.919><c> sort</c><00:03:20.020><c> of</c><00:03:20.300><c> argument</c><00:03:20.599><c> between</c><00:03:21.159><c> a</c>

00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.560
That's<00:03:24.080><c> how</c><00:03:24.300><c> we</c><00:03:24.520><c> might</c><00:03:24.919><c> look</c><00:03:25.479><c> at</c><00:03:25.719><c> this.</c>

00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.520
But<00:03:26.979><c> let's</c><00:03:27.159><c> just</c><00:03:27.379><c> stick</c><00:03:27.439><c> to</c><00:03:27.580><c> the</c><00:03:27.780><c> context</c><00:03:28.139><c> for</c><00:03:28.300><c> a</c><00:03:28.379><c> moment.</c>

00:03:28.659 --> 00:03:30.300
Samson<00:03:28.960><c> is</c><00:03:29.319><c> troubled</c><00:03:29.580><c> by</c><00:03:29.780><c> the</c><00:03:30.060><c> spirit.</c>

00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.740
He's<00:03:31.000><c> concerned</c><00:03:31.340><c> at</c><00:03:31.500><c> the</c><00:03:31.759><c> spiritual</c><00:03:32.240><c> state</c><00:03:32.500><c> of</c><00:03:32.659><c> his</c><00:03:32.900><c> people.</c>

00:03:33.900 --> 00:03:36.819

00:03:37.300 --> 00:03:39.879
It<00:03:37.639><c> should</c><00:03:38.319><c> be</c><00:03:38.900><c> Jewish</c><00:03:39.259><c> territory.</c>

00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.520
It<00:03:40.340><c> should</c><00:03:40.599><c> be,</c><00:03:40.860><c> in</c><00:03:40.960><c> fact,</c><00:03:41.379><c> the</c><00:03:41.479><c> inheritance</c><00:03:41.879><c> belonging</c><00:03:42.259><c> to</c>

two<00:03:42.759><c> tribes.</c>

00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:48.659
Joshua<00:03:44.080><c> 15</c><00:03:44.719><c> tells</c><00:03:45.020><c> us</c><00:03:45.300><c> that</c><00:03:45.719><c> Timnath</c><00:03:46.120><c> was</c><00:03:46.340><c> given</c><00:03:46.699><c> to</c><00:03:47.240><c> the</c><00:03:47.419><c> tribe</c><00:03:47.620><c> of</c><00:03:47.840><c> Judah.</c>

00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.780
So<00:03:52.759><c> it</c><00:03:53.219><c> was,</c><00:03:53.500><c> in</c><00:03:53.659><c> fact,</c><00:03:54.060><c> belonging</c><00:03:54.240><c> to</c><00:03:54.439><c> both</c><00:03:54.599><c> of</c><00:03:54.699><c> them.</c>

00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.300
He<00:05:01.199><c> was</c><00:05:01.339><c> satisfying</c><00:05:01.800><c> his</c><00:05:02.040><c> own</c><00:05:02.339><c> lust.</c>

00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:05.819
It's<00:05:04.040><c> that</c><00:05:04.259><c> phrase,</c><00:05:04.560><c> isn't</c><00:05:04.579><c> it,</c><00:05:04.660><c> that</c><00:05:04.740><c> we</c><00:05:04.860><c> read</c><00:05:05.000><c> elsewhere</c><00:05:05.379><c> in</c><00:05:05.600><c> Judges.</c>

00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.439
It's<00:05:14.600><c> similar,</c><00:05:14.920><c> certainly,</c><00:05:15.360><c> but</c><00:05:15.480><c> it's</c><00:05:15.639><c> not</c><00:05:15.800><c> exactly</c><00:05:16.220><c> the</c>

00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:20.899
And<00:06:19.319><c> so</c><00:06:19.459><c> that's</c><00:06:19.560><c> what</c><00:06:19.720><c> that</c><00:06:19.939><c> verse</c><00:06:20.079><c> there</c><00:06:20.240><c> is</c><00:06:20.439><c> describing</c><00:06:20.720><c> in</c>

00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.019
Again,<00:06:31.120><c> that</c><00:06:31.279><c> word</c><00:06:31.500><c> pleased</c><00:06:31.779><c> is</c><00:06:32.000><c> exactly</c><00:06:32.279><c> the</c><00:06:32.480><c> same</c><00:06:32.699><c> phrase</c>

that<00:06:40.939><c> way.</c>

00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.019
And<00:06:41.459><c> of</c><00:06:41.639><c> course,</c><00:06:41.800><c> to</c><00:06:41.920><c> be</c><00:06:42.019><c> able</c><00:06:42.199><c> to</c><00:06:42.540><c> keep</c><00:06:42.939><c> the</c><00:06:43.339><c> Passover</c><00:06:43.680><c> meal</c>

00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:50.019
And<00:06:46.680><c> just</c><00:06:46.879><c> finally,</c><00:06:47.319><c> one</c><00:06:47.399><c> of</c><00:06:47.519><c> the</c><00:06:47.660><c> passage,</c><00:06:48.939><c> it</c><00:06:49.220><c> pleases</c><00:06:49.579><c> God.</c>

00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.819
In<00:06:50.699><c> this</c><00:06:50.899><c> particular</c><00:06:51.339><c> instance,</c><00:06:52.019><c> God</c><00:06:52.279><c> says,</c>

00:06:52.819 --> 00:06:55.579
Thus<00:06:53.240><c> shall</c><00:06:53.480><c> you</c><00:06:53.600><c> say</c><00:06:53.740><c> unto</c><00:06:53.939><c> your</c><00:06:54.220><c> masters,</c><00:06:54.800><c> I</c><00:06:54.839><c> have</c><00:06:55.100><c> made</c><00:06:55.319><c> the</c>

earth,<00:06:56.240><c> the</c><00:06:56.379><c> man</c><00:06:56.680><c> and</c><00:06:56.879><c> the</c><00:06:57.079><c> beast</c>

00:06:57.379 --> 00:07:00.480
that<00:06:57.639><c> are</c><00:06:57.800><c> upon</c><00:06:58.060><c> the</c><00:06:58.300><c> ground</c><00:06:58.500><c> by</c><00:06:58.759><c> my</c><00:06:59.040><c> great</c><00:06:59.300><c> power</c><00:06:59.699><c> and</c><00:06:59.959><c> by</c><00:07:00.220><c> my</c>

00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:01.459
outstretched<00:07:01.019><c> arm,</c>

00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:05.579
and<00:07:01.959><c> have</c><00:07:02.139><c> given</c><00:07:02.319><c> it</c><00:07:02.680><c> unto</c><00:07:03.000><c> whom</c><00:07:03.300><c> it</c><00:07:03.639><c> seemed</c><00:07:03.839><c> meat</c><00:07:04.220><c> unto</c><00:07:04.540><c> me.</c>

00:07:05.860 --> 00:07:09.879
So<00:07:06.180><c> God</c><00:07:06.480><c> does</c><00:07:06.759><c> things</c><00:07:07.000><c> that</c><00:07:07.220><c> are</c><00:07:07.399><c> right</c><00:07:07.560><c> in</c><00:07:07.720><c> his</c><00:07:08.019><c> eyes</c><00:07:08.439><c> on</c><00:07:08.879><c> occasion.</c>

00:07:09.980 --> 00:07:12.779
God<00:07:10.339><c> sees</c><00:07:10.680><c> fit</c><00:07:11.040><c> to</c><00:07:11.399><c> act</c><00:07:11.699><c> in</c><00:07:11.899><c> a</c><00:07:12.079><c> particular</c><00:07:12.360><c> way.</c>

00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.300
And<00:07:13.120><c> again,</c><00:07:13.300><c> we</c><00:07:13.639><c> have</c><00:07:13.819><c> no</c><00:07:14.019><c> issue</c><00:07:14.319><c> with</c><00:07:14.540><c> that,</c><00:07:14.920><c> do</c><00:07:15.040><c> we?</c>

00:07:15.620 --> 00:07:18.839
So<00:07:15.899><c> let's</c><00:07:16.120><c> not</c><00:07:16.300><c> be</c><00:07:16.420><c> too</c><00:07:16.639><c> hasty</c><00:07:16.980><c> then</c><00:07:17.180><c> in</c><00:07:17.420><c> judging</c><00:07:17.779><c> Samson</c><00:07:18.360><c> in</c>

00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:19.459
this<00:07:19.120><c> way.</c>

00:07:19.459 --> 00:07:23.339
He<00:07:20.220><c> certainly</c><00:07:20.980><c> asks</c><00:07:21.420><c> or</c><00:07:21.879><c> says</c><00:07:22.220><c> that</c><00:07:22.379><c> this</c><00:07:22.560><c> woman</c><00:07:22.779><c> is</c><00:07:23.040><c> right,</c>

00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:24.560
she<00:07:23.779><c> pleased</c><00:07:24.199><c> him.</c>

00:07:24.860 --> 00:07:28.939
But<00:07:25.060><c> that</c><00:07:25.560><c> doesn't</c><00:07:25.839><c> necessarily</c><00:07:26.279><c> mean</c><00:07:26.540><c> that</c><00:07:26.639><c> he</c><00:07:26.740><c> was</c><00:07:27.000><c> satisfying</c><00:07:27.439><c> his</c><00:07:27.759><c> own</c><00:07:28.040><c> lust.</c>

00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.199
Back<00:07:29.759><c> in</c><00:07:29.920><c> Judges</c><00:07:30.160><c> 14</c><00:07:30.500><c> then,</c><00:07:31.620><c> please.</c>

00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.319
The<00:07:32.379><c> other</c><00:07:32.639><c> key</c><00:07:32.899><c> phrase</c><00:07:33.160><c> is</c><00:07:33.319><c> in</c><00:07:33.459><c> verse</c><00:07:33.660><c> 4,</c><00:07:33.899><c> isn't</c><00:07:34.079><c> it?</c>

00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.480
His<00:07:34.600><c> father</c><00:07:34.920><c> and</c><00:07:35.060><c> his</c><00:07:35.300><c> mother</c><00:07:35.639><c> knew</c><00:07:35.939><c> not</c><00:07:36.180><c> that</c><00:07:36.319><c> it</c><00:07:36.439><c> was</c><00:07:36.639><c> of</c><00:07:36.860><c> the</c><00:07:37.100><c> Lord</c>

00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.740
that<00:07:37.920><c> he</c><00:07:38.120><c> sought</c><00:07:38.279><c> an</c><00:07:38.500><c> occasion</c><00:07:38.759><c> against</c><00:07:39.060><c> the</c><00:07:39.259><c> Philistines,</c>

00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.740

00:07:43.139 --> 00:07:45.199
And<00:07:43.379><c> clearly</c><00:07:43.540><c> this</c><00:07:43.740><c> phrase</c><00:07:43.980><c> holds</c><00:07:44.220><c> some</c><00:07:44.459><c> sort</c><00:07:44.639><c> of</c><00:07:44.779><c> key,</c><00:07:44.920><c> doesn't</c><00:07:45.079><c> it,</c>

00:07:45.220 --> 00:07:46.819
to<00:07:45.319><c> understanding</c><00:07:45.839><c> this</c><00:07:46.339><c> passage.</c>

00:07:46.819 --> 00:07:49.800
The<00:07:47.360><c> only</c><00:07:47.540><c> problem</c><00:07:48.180><c> then</c><00:07:48.339><c> is</c><00:07:48.459><c> understanding</c><00:07:48.800><c> what</c><00:07:48.959><c> it</c><00:07:49.100><c> actually</c><00:07:49.480><c> means.</c>

00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.720
What<00:07:50.240><c> does</c><00:07:50.540><c> of</c><00:07:50.899><c> the</c><00:07:51.100><c> Lord</c><00:07:51.379><c> really</c><00:07:51.740><c> mean?</c>

00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:54.699
Well,<00:07:53.480><c> I</c><00:07:53.540><c> guess</c><00:07:53.699><c> there</c><00:07:53.839><c> are</c><00:07:53.899><c> a</c><00:07:53.939><c> number</c><00:07:54.060><c> of</c><00:07:54.259><c> options,</c><00:07:54.600><c> aren't</c>

00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:59.600
It<00:07:56.319><c> could</c><00:07:56.540><c> mean</c><00:07:56.899><c> that</c><00:07:57.339><c> Samson</c><00:07:57.980><c> was</c><00:07:58.579><c> going</c><00:07:58.720><c> to</c><00:07:58.800><c> do</c><00:07:58.920><c> something</c><00:07:59.199><c> wrong,</c>

00:08:00.060 --> 00:08:02.680
that<00:08:00.199><c> he'd</c><00:08:00.379><c> made</c><00:08:00.480><c> up</c><00:08:00.620><c> his</c><00:08:00.779><c> mind</c><00:08:00.980><c> he</c><00:08:01.040><c> was</c><00:08:01.199><c> going</c><00:08:01.300><c> to</c><00:08:01.480><c> marry</c><00:08:01.660><c> outside</c><00:08:02.100><c> the</c><00:08:02.379><c> truth,</c>

and<00:08:03.279><c> somehow</c><00:08:03.740><c> God</c><00:08:04.500><c> saved</c><00:08:04.839><c> him</c><00:08:05.000><c> from</c><00:08:05.139><c> that</c><00:08:05.360><c> and</c><00:08:05.579><c> God</c><00:08:05.779><c> made</c><00:08:05.959><c> it</c><00:08:06.160><c> right.</c>

00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.240
That<00:08:07.360><c> God</c><00:08:07.519><c> sort</c><00:08:07.720><c> of</c><00:08:08.819><c> prevented</c><00:08:09.240><c> Samson</c><00:08:09.660><c> in</c><00:08:09.879><c> some</c><00:08:10.060><c> way,</c>

00:08:10.420 --> 00:08:13.839
or<00:08:10.720><c> he</c><00:08:11.459><c> sort</c><00:08:11.639><c> of</c><00:08:11.860><c> covered</c><00:08:11.939><c> over,</c><00:08:12.399><c> covered</c><00:08:12.540><c> up</c><00:08:12.839><c> the</c><00:08:13.420><c> issue,</c>

00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:17.920
even<00:08:14.399><c> though</c><00:08:14.660><c> Samson</c><00:08:15.019><c> seemed</c><00:08:15.800><c> bent</c><00:08:16.139><c> on</c><00:08:16.319><c> doing</c><00:08:16.500><c> what</c><00:08:16.660><c> was</c><00:08:16.839><c> wrong,</c><00:08:17.740><c> God</c>

made<00:08:18.180><c> it</c><00:08:18.339><c> into</c><00:08:18.519><c> something</c><00:08:18.819><c> right.</c>

00:08:21.779 --> 00:08:23.639
That<00:08:21.939><c> doesn't</c><00:08:22.160><c> sound,</c><00:08:22.699><c> does</c><00:08:22.779><c> it,</c><00:08:23.060><c> like</c><00:08:23.180><c> the</c><00:08:23.259><c> way</c><00:08:23.420><c> in</c><00:08:23.519><c> which</c>

00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:25.000
God<00:08:23.839><c> behaves.</c>

00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.519
God<00:08:26.600><c> doesn't</c><00:08:27.040><c> enact</c><00:08:27.519><c> a</c><00:08:27.939><c> cover</c><00:08:28.220><c>-up,</c><00:08:28.459><c> does</c><00:08:28.519><c> he?</c>

00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:30.699
He<00:08:28.699><c> covers</c><00:08:29.079><c> our</c><00:08:29.439><c> sins,</c><00:08:29.680><c> but</c><00:08:29.800><c> he</c><00:08:29.879><c> doesn't</c><00:08:30.060><c> cover</c><00:08:30.259><c> them</c><00:08:30.500><c> up.</c>

00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:32.940
He<00:08:30.879><c> doesn't</c><00:08:31.100><c> brush</c><00:08:31.339><c> them</c><00:08:31.500><c> under</c><00:08:31.720><c> the</c><00:08:31.939><c> carpet.</c>

00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:36.460
So<00:08:35.279><c> what</c><00:08:35.720><c> else</c><00:08:35.960><c> could</c><00:08:36.120><c> we</c><00:08:36.340><c> say?</c>

00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.279
Well,<00:08:36.940><c> perhaps</c><00:08:37.240><c> God</c><00:08:37.419><c> told</c><00:08:37.740><c> Samson</c><00:08:38.159><c> to</c><00:08:38.340><c> marry</c><00:08:38.500><c> the</c><00:08:38.639><c> woman,</c><00:08:38.799><c> perhaps</c><00:08:39.080><c> of</c>

00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.860
the<00:08:39.519><c> Lord</c><00:08:39.860><c> means</c><00:08:40.639><c> that.</c>

00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:43.960
Well,<00:08:42.600><c> again,</c><00:08:42.940><c> that's</c><00:08:43.240><c> possible,</c><00:08:43.639><c> isn't</c><00:08:43.840><c> it?</c>

00:08:44.379 --> 00:08:46.740
But<00:08:44.519><c> God</c><00:08:44.679><c> is</c><00:08:44.820><c> not</c><00:08:44.940><c> the</c><00:08:45.059><c> author</c><00:08:45.220><c> of</c><00:08:45.500><c> confusion,</c><00:08:46.080><c> is</c><00:08:46.399><c> he?</c>

00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.299
And<00:08:47.419><c> God</c><00:08:47.600><c> gave</c><00:08:47.799><c> a</c><00:08:47.940><c> very</c><00:08:48.200><c> clear</c><00:08:48.340><c> command</c><00:08:48.679><c> to</c><00:08:48.840><c> his</c><00:08:49.000><c> people.</c>

00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.500
Just<00:08:49.480><c> look</c><00:08:49.679><c> back,</c><00:08:49.940><c> if</c><00:08:50.039><c> you</c><00:08:50.179><c> would,</c><00:08:50.379><c> at</c><00:08:50.460><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:08:50.860><c> chapter</c><00:08:51.240><c> 7.</c>

00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.980
Explicitly,<00:08:53.799><c> God</c><00:08:54.019><c> said</c><00:08:54.279><c> they</c><00:08:54.419><c> were</c><00:08:54.740><c> not</c><00:08:55.159><c> to</c><00:08:55.539><c> marry</c><00:08:56.100><c> into</c><00:08:56.720><c> the</c>

00:08:56.980 --> 00:08:58.379
other<00:08:57.159><c> nations.</c>

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:06.159
Deuteronomy<00:09:00.960><c> 7,</c><00:09:05.419><c> verse</c><00:09:05.860><c> 1,</c>

00:09:06.179 --> 00:09:08.980
When<00:09:06.320><c> the</c><00:09:06.460><c> Lord</c><00:09:06.659><c> thy</c><00:09:06.899><c> God</c><00:09:07.139><c> shall</c><00:09:07.320><c> bring</c><00:09:07.539><c> thee</c><00:09:07.740><c> into</c><00:09:08.000><c> the</c><00:09:08.240><c> land,</c>

00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.139
and<00:09:09.720><c> hath</c><00:09:10.240><c> cast</c><00:09:10.539><c> out</c><00:09:10.799><c> many</c><00:09:11.080><c> nations</c><00:09:11.480><c> before</c><00:09:11.860><c> thee,</c>

00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:14.019
and<00:09:12.620><c> they</c><00:09:12.779><c> are</c><00:09:12.840><c> listed,</c><00:09:12.940><c> aren't</c><00:09:13.080><c> they,</c><00:09:13.259><c> seven</c><00:09:13.519><c> nations</c><00:09:13.879><c> that</c>

00:09:14.019 --> 00:09:15.379
are<00:09:14.139><c> greater</c><00:09:14.379><c> and</c><00:09:14.580><c> mightier</c><00:09:14.860><c> than</c><00:09:14.960><c> thou.</c>

00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:17.820
When<00:09:15.940><c> the</c><00:09:16.080><c> Lord</c><00:09:16.240><c> thy</c><00:09:16.440><c> God</c><00:09:16.620><c> shall</c><00:09:16.799><c> deliver</c><00:09:17.059><c> them</c><00:09:17.259><c> before</c><00:09:17.620><c> thee,</c>

00:09:17.820 --> 00:09:20.159
and<00:09:17.919><c> thou</c><00:09:18.059><c> shalt</c><00:09:18.460><c> smite</c><00:09:18.899><c> them</c><00:09:19.059><c> and</c><00:09:19.220><c> utterly</c><00:09:19.460><c> destroy</c><00:09:19.899><c> them,</c>

00:09:20.539 --> 00:09:23.659
thou<00:09:20.700><c> shalt</c><00:09:20.940><c> make</c><00:09:21.279><c> no</c><00:09:21.620><c> covenant</c><00:09:22.019><c> with</c><00:09:22.279><c> them,</c><00:09:22.720><c> nor</c><00:09:23.019><c> show</c><00:09:23.340><c> mercy</c>

00:09:23.659 --> 00:09:24.720
unto<00:09:23.840><c> them.</c>

00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:26.559
Neither,<00:09:25.259><c> verse</c><00:09:25.559><c> 3,</c><00:09:25.919><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:09:26.200><c> 7,</c>

00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.220
neither<00:09:27.159><c> shalt</c><00:09:27.440><c> thou</c><00:09:27.659><c> make</c><00:09:28.019><c> marriages</c><00:09:28.519><c> with</c><00:09:28.799><c> them.</c>

00:09:29.659 --> 00:09:32.279
Thy<00:09:29.960><c> daughter</c><00:09:30.379><c> thou</c><00:09:30.580><c> shalt</c><00:09:30.840><c> not</c><00:09:31.100><c> give</c><00:09:31.299><c> unto</c><00:09:31.500><c> his</c><00:09:31.879><c> son,</c>

00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:35.200
nor<00:09:32.899><c> his</c><00:09:33.200><c> daughter</c><00:09:33.519><c> shalt</c><00:09:33.779><c> thou</c><00:09:33.940><c> take</c><00:09:34.159><c> unto</c><00:09:34.399><c> thy</c><00:09:34.799><c> son.</c>

00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.059
For<00:09:35.360><c> they</c><00:09:36.360><c> will</c><00:09:36.580><c> turn</c><00:09:36.860><c> away</c><00:09:37.240><c> thy</c><00:09:37.519><c> son</c><00:09:37.820><c> from</c><00:09:38.200><c> following</c><00:09:38.539><c> me,</c>

00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:40.960
that<00:09:39.519><c> they</c><00:09:39.740><c> may</c><00:09:39.980><c> serve</c><00:09:40.299><c> other</c><00:09:40.620><c> gods.</c>

00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.539
So<00:09:41.419><c> will</c><00:09:41.620><c> the</c><00:09:41.840><c> anger</c><00:09:42.059><c> of</c><00:09:42.200><c> the</c><00:09:42.340><c> Lord</c><00:09:42.480><c> be</c><00:09:42.720><c> kindled</c><00:09:42.960><c> against</c><00:09:43.240><c> you,</c>

00:09:43.700 --> 00:09:46.279
and<00:09:43.899><c> he</c><00:09:44.039><c> will</c><00:09:44.259><c> destroy</c><00:09:44.879><c> thee</c><00:09:45.139><c> suddenly.</c>

00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:48.980
So,<00:09:48.179><c> very</c><00:09:48.460><c> clear,</c><00:09:48.759><c> isn't</c><00:09:48.860><c> it?</c>

00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:51.320
Very<00:09:49.659><c> direct.</c>

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:55.320
God<00:09:51.659><c> said</c><00:09:51.919><c> they</c><00:09:52.059><c> were</c><00:09:52.340><c> not</c><00:09:52.519><c> to</c><00:09:52.779><c> make</c><00:09:53.000><c> marriages</c><00:09:53.500><c> under</c><00:09:54.159><c> any</c><00:09:54.759><c> shape</c><00:09:54.960><c> or</c><00:09:55.179><c> form.</c>

00:09:55.539 --> 00:09:57.039
Daughters<00:09:55.700><c> were</c><00:09:55.879><c> not</c><00:09:56.080><c> to</c><00:09:56.379><c> go</c><00:09:56.580><c> after</c><00:09:56.820><c> sons.</c>

00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:58.419
Sons<00:09:57.279><c> were</c><00:09:57.419><c> not</c><00:09:57.539><c> to</c><00:09:57.639><c> go</c><00:09:57.740><c> after</c><00:09:57.899><c> daughters.</c>

00:09:58.820 --> 00:10:01.059
It<00:09:58.940><c> was</c><00:09:59.539><c> very</c><00:09:59.840><c> unequivocal.</c>

00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:03.980
So<00:10:02.240><c> it</c><00:10:02.299><c> doesn't</c><00:10:02.519><c> seem</c><00:10:02.759><c> likely</c><00:10:02.940><c> to</c><00:10:03.139><c> me,</c><00:10:03.460><c> brothers</c><00:10:03.519><c> and</c><00:10:03.740><c> sisters,</c>

00:10:03.980 --> 00:10:05.860
that<00:10:04.220><c> God</c><00:10:04.419><c> would</c><00:10:04.659><c> then</c><00:10:05.019><c> contradict</c><00:10:05.480><c> that</c>

00:10:05.860 --> 00:10:10.840
and<00:10:06.159><c> ask</c><00:10:07.000><c> his</c><00:10:07.840><c> servant</c><00:10:08.259><c> Samson</c><00:10:08.799><c> to</c><00:10:09.759><c> go</c><00:10:10.019><c> and</c><00:10:10.279><c> do</c><00:10:10.440><c> something.</c>

00:10:11.059 --> 00:10:13.220
Although<00:10:11.379><c> I</c><00:10:11.779><c> have</c><00:10:11.879><c> no</c><00:10:12.039><c> problem</c><00:10:12.259><c> that</c><00:10:12.419><c> God</c><00:10:12.620><c> is,</c><00:10:12.899><c> in</c><00:10:12.940><c> a</c><00:10:13.059><c> sense,</c>

00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.600
outside<00:10:13.860><c> of</c><00:10:14.039><c> the</c><00:10:14.179><c> laws</c><00:10:14.320><c> he</c><00:10:14.600><c> prescribes</c><00:10:15.000><c> for</c><00:10:15.259><c> us.</c>

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.299
I<00:10:15.980><c> still</c><00:10:16.179><c> don't</c><00:10:16.399><c> think</c><00:10:16.620><c> that</c><00:10:16.820><c> that's</c><00:10:17.039><c> the</c><00:10:17.120><c> way</c><00:10:17.379><c> he</c><00:10:17.720><c> chooses</c><00:10:18.080><c> to</c><00:10:18.360><c> operate.</c>

00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:21.399
So<00:10:19.960><c> where</c><00:10:20.080><c> does</c><00:10:20.159><c> that</c><00:10:20.340><c> leave</c><00:10:20.460><c> us,</c><00:10:20.779><c> then?</c>

00:10:21.500 --> 00:10:23.519
Well,<00:10:21.799><c> it</c><00:10:21.899><c> seems</c><00:10:22.080><c> to</c><00:10:22.159><c> me</c><00:10:22.220><c> there's</c><00:10:22.379><c> only</c><00:10:22.639><c> one</c><00:10:22.820><c> other</c><00:10:23.019><c> option,</c>

00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:27.080
and<00:10:24.360><c> that</c><00:10:24.500><c> is</c><00:10:24.700><c> that</c><00:10:24.840><c> this</c><00:10:25.059><c> was</c><00:10:25.220><c> part</c><00:10:25.480><c> of</c><00:10:25.600><c> a</c><00:10:25.820><c> secret</c><00:10:26.100><c> plan.</c>

00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.620
And<00:10:27.720><c> although</c><00:10:28.019><c> God</c><00:10:28.340><c> did</c><00:10:28.620><c> ask</c><00:10:28.940><c> of</c><00:10:29.220><c> Samson</c><00:10:29.580><c> to</c><00:10:29.799><c> marry</c><00:10:30.080><c> the</c><00:10:30.279><c> woman,</c>

00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:35.320

00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.159
You<00:10:36.299><c> might</c><00:10:36.500><c> say,</c><00:10:36.639><c> well,</c><00:10:36.779><c> that's</c><00:10:36.960><c> a</c><00:10:37.039><c> bit</c><00:10:37.139><c> of</c><00:10:37.620><c> a</c><00:10:37.659><c> far</c><00:10:37.860><c>-fetched</c><00:10:38.080><c> idea,</c>

00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:39.240
isn't<00:10:38.279><c> it,</c><00:10:38.440><c> a</c><00:10:38.500><c> secret</c><00:10:38.860><c> plan?</c>

00:10:39.539 --> 00:10:42.179
That<00:10:39.799><c> sounds</c><00:10:39.960><c> a</c><00:10:40.700><c> bit</c><00:10:40.980><c> sort</c><00:10:41.120><c> of</c><00:10:41.259><c> MI5</c><00:10:41.779><c>-ish.</c>

00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.639
Well,<00:10:42.919><c> let's</c><00:10:43.559><c> just</c><00:10:43.759><c> have</c><00:10:43.919><c> a</c><00:10:44.200><c> look</c><00:10:44.340><c> a</c><00:10:44.440><c> bit</c><00:10:44.600><c> further.</c>

00:10:46.059 --> 00:10:49.019
If<00:10:46.500><c> it</c><00:10:46.620><c> is</c><00:10:46.799><c> a</c><00:10:46.940><c> secret</c><00:10:47.320><c> plan,</c><00:10:47.659><c> well,</c><00:10:48.059><c> it's</c><00:10:48.259><c> a</c><00:10:48.379><c> secret,</c><00:10:48.799><c> certainly,</c><00:10:48.879><c> isn't</c><00:10:48.919><c> it,</c>

00:10:49.019 --> 00:10:50.059
from<00:10:49.200><c> Samson's</c><00:10:49.740><c> parents?</c>

00:10:50.340 --> 00:10:54.000
His<00:10:50.480><c> father</c><00:10:50.679><c> and</c><00:10:50.779><c> his</c><00:10:50.960><c> mother</c><00:10:51.139><c> knew</c><00:10:51.460><c> not</c><00:10:51.960><c> that</c><00:10:52.360><c> it</c><00:10:52.519><c> was</c><00:10:52.659><c> of</c><00:10:52.899><c> the</c><00:10:53.120><c> Lord.</c>

00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.240
Interestingly,<00:10:54.980><c> it</c><00:10:55.120><c> says</c><00:10:55.279><c> that</c><00:10:55.480><c> he</c><00:10:55.720><c> sought</c><00:10:55.960><c> an</c><00:10:56.179><c> occasion</c><00:10:56.399><c> against</c><00:10:56.639><c> the</c><00:10:56.820><c> Philistines,</c>

00:10:57.379 --> 00:10:59.440
and<00:10:57.659><c> it's</c><00:10:57.840><c> not</c><00:10:58.080><c> clear,</c><00:10:58.340><c> even</c><00:10:58.639><c> from</c><00:10:58.879><c> the</c><00:10:59.080><c> Hebrew,</c>

00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.580
whether<00:10:59.860><c> the</c><00:11:00.100><c> he</c><00:11:00.259><c> refers</c><00:11:00.580><c> to</c><00:11:00.860><c> God</c><00:11:01.179><c> or</c><00:11:01.600><c> to</c><00:11:01.840><c> Samson.</c>

00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.799
You<00:11:03.379><c> just</c><00:11:03.620><c> can't</c><00:11:03.879><c> tell</c><00:11:04.159><c> from</c><00:11:04.539><c> the</c><00:11:04.860><c> way</c><00:11:05.120><c> it's</c><00:11:05.700><c> phrased.</c>

00:11:06.980 --> 00:11:10.879
Most<00:11:07.240><c> commentators</c><00:11:07.779><c> seem</c><00:11:08.080><c> to</c><00:11:08.259><c> think</c><00:11:08.379><c> that</c><00:11:08.519><c> it's</c><00:11:08.720><c> probably</c><00:11:09.080><c> the</c><00:11:09.320><c> Lord</c><00:11:09.559><c> that</c><00:11:09.799><c> he</c><00:11:10.080><c> sought.</c>

00:11:10.940 --> 00:11:12.639
But<00:11:11.100><c> it</c><00:11:11.220><c> could</c><00:11:11.399><c> easily</c><00:11:11.700><c> be</c><00:11:11.919><c> Samson,</c><00:11:12.419><c> couldn't</c><00:11:12.480><c> it?</c>

00:11:12.700 --> 00:11:15.360
His<00:11:12.960><c> father</c><00:11:13.279><c> and</c><00:11:13.419><c> his</c><00:11:13.659><c> mother,</c><00:11:14.059><c> that's</c><00:11:14.320><c> obviously</c><00:11:14.580><c> Samson's,</c>

00:11:15.500 --> 00:11:17.480
knew<00:11:15.500><c> not</c><00:11:15.659><c> that</c><00:11:15.759><c> it</c><00:11:15.799><c> was</c><00:11:15.919><c> of</c><00:11:16.059><c> the</c><00:11:16.179><c> Lord</c><00:11:16.299><c> that</c><00:11:16.460><c> he</c><00:11:16.700><c> sought</c><00:11:16.940><c> an</c><00:11:17.120><c> occasion,</c>

00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:19.220
that<00:11:18.019><c> Samson</c><00:11:18.399><c> sought</c><00:11:18.620><c> an</c><00:11:18.879><c> occasion.</c>

00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:21.019
And<00:11:19.940><c> that's</c><00:11:20.139><c> probably</c><00:11:20.419><c> right,</c><00:11:20.740><c> isn't</c><00:11:20.899><c> it?</c>

00:11:21.019 --> 00:11:22.539
Because<00:11:21.259><c> at</c><00:11:21.419><c> this</c><00:11:21.580><c> point</c><00:11:21.799><c> in</c><00:11:22.120><c> time,</c>

00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.139
I<00:11:22.960><c> think</c><00:11:23.159><c> Samson</c><00:11:23.539><c> was</c><00:11:23.759><c> operating</c><00:11:24.240><c> under</c><00:11:24.940><c> instruction</c><00:11:25.639><c> from</c><00:11:25.960><c> God.</c>

00:11:26.179 --> 00:11:29.019
I<00:11:26.279><c> think</c><00:11:26.419><c> the</c><00:11:26.840><c> enemies</c><00:11:27.100><c> of</c><00:11:27.340><c> God</c><00:11:27.539><c> were</c><00:11:27.840><c> the</c><00:11:28.000><c> enemies</c><00:11:28.200><c> of</c><00:11:28.480><c> Samson.</c>

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:32.100
And<00:11:29.740><c> I'm</c><00:11:29.919><c> going</c><00:11:30.019><c> to</c><00:11:30.139><c> suggest</c><00:11:30.440><c> to</c><00:11:30.559><c> you</c><00:11:30.679><c> that</c><00:11:30.899><c> Samson</c><00:11:31.179><c> is</c><00:11:31.539><c> in</c><00:11:31.759><c> tune</c>

00:11:32.100 --> 00:11:35.960
with<00:11:32.519><c> the</c><00:11:32.779><c> mind</c><00:11:33.059><c> of</c><00:11:33.340><c> God</c><00:11:33.559><c> at</c><00:11:33.980><c> this</c><00:11:34.259><c> stage</c><00:11:34.460><c> in</c><00:11:34.659><c> his</c><00:11:34.860><c> life.</c>

00:11:37.700 --> 00:11:40.460
Going<00:11:37.919><c> to</c><00:11:38.080><c> the</c><00:11:38.159><c> idea</c><00:11:38.440><c> of</c><00:11:38.820><c> secrets,</c><00:11:39.399><c> though,</c><00:11:39.740><c> it's</c><00:11:39.980><c> not</c><00:11:40.100><c> as</c><00:11:40.259><c> far</c>

00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.259

00:11:46.620 --> 00:11:47.879
There<00:11:46.759><c> they</c><00:11:46.980><c> are.</c>

00:11:49.220 --> 00:11:52.500
The<00:11:49.360><c> whole</c><00:11:49.620><c> chapter</c><00:11:49.960><c> is</c><00:11:50.320><c> structured</c><00:11:50.639><c> around</c><00:11:51.100><c> secrets.</c>

00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.980
Verses<00:11:54.000><c> one</c><00:11:54.240><c> to</c><00:11:54.360><c> four</c><00:11:54.899><c> is</c><00:11:55.600><c> the</c><00:11:55.799><c> first</c><00:11:56.019><c> section</c><00:11:56.340><c> of</c><00:11:56.480><c> this</c><00:11:56.659><c> chapter,</c>

00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:00.600
We<00:11:59.139><c> saw</c><00:11:59.320><c> that</c><00:11:59.519><c> there</c><00:11:59.700><c> in</c><00:11:59.879><c> verse</c><00:12:00.120><c> four,</c><00:12:00.320><c> didn't</c><00:12:00.419><c> we?</c>

00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.580
Incidentally,<00:12:04.059><c> I</c><00:12:04.080><c> should</c><00:12:04.259><c> tell</c><00:12:04.419><c> you</c><00:12:04.559><c> that</c><00:12:04.820><c> the</c><00:12:04.940><c> way</c><00:12:05.120><c> the</c><00:12:05.379><c> structure,</c>

00:12:10.100 --> 00:12:12.440
That<00:12:10.379><c> introduces</c><00:12:10.980><c> to</c><00:12:11.220><c> us</c><00:12:11.340><c> the</c><00:12:11.519><c> beginning</c><00:12:11.720><c> of</c><00:12:11.879><c> each</c><00:12:12.139><c> section.</c>

00:12:16.100 --> 00:12:18.580

00:12:19.620 --> 00:12:21.620
It's<00:12:19.879><c> the</c><00:12:19.980><c> idea</c><00:12:20.100><c> of</c><00:12:20.279><c> not</c><00:12:20.480><c> knowing</c><00:12:20.679><c> something,</c><00:12:21.019><c> that's</c><00:12:21.240><c> the</c><00:12:21.399><c> secret,</c>

Again,<00:12:28.299><c> we</c><00:12:28.320><c> find</c><00:12:28.600><c> the</c><00:12:28.740><c> phrase</c><00:12:28.960><c> went</c><00:12:29.220><c> down.</c>

00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:35.259
Samson<00:12:30.299><c> went</c><00:12:30.559><c> down</c><00:12:30.879><c> to</c><00:12:31.059><c> Timnath</c><00:12:31.659><c> in</c><00:12:33.700><c> verse</c><00:12:34.019><c> five,</c>

00:12:35.460 --> 00:12:36.240
and<00:12:35.519><c> we</c><00:12:35.620><c> know</c><00:12:35.740><c> what</c><00:12:35.879><c> happens,</c><00:12:36.139><c> don't</c><00:12:36.220><c> we?</c>

00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:39.549
A<00:12:36.360><c> lion</c><00:12:36.620><c> meets</c><00:12:36.919><c> him,</c><00:12:37.059><c> it</c><00:12:37.200><c> roars</c><00:12:37.460><c> against</c><00:12:37.759><c> him,</c><00:12:38.179><c> he</c><00:12:38.500><c> slays</c><00:12:38.840><c> it.</c>

00:12:40.580 --> 00:12:43.480
But<00:12:40.620><c> he</c><00:12:40.779><c> told</c><00:12:40.940><c> not</c><00:12:41.120><c> his</c><00:12:41.320><c> father</c><00:12:41.639><c> or</c><00:12:42.000><c> his</c><00:12:42.240><c> mother</c><00:12:42.559><c> what</c><00:12:42.879><c> he</c><00:12:43.039><c> had</c><00:12:43.220><c> done.</c>

00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:45.679
We<00:12:44.159><c> get</c><00:12:44.299><c> that</c><00:12:44.419><c> at</c><00:12:44.580><c> the</c><00:12:44.620><c> end</c><00:12:44.820><c> of</c><00:12:44.980><c> verse</c><00:12:45.159><c> six.</c>

00:12:45.899 --> 00:12:47.799
So<00:12:45.980><c> that</c><00:12:46.120><c> was</c><00:12:46.320><c> also</c><00:12:46.639><c> a</c><00:12:46.919><c> secret.</c>

00:12:54.779 --> 00:12:56.539
He<00:12:55.000><c> went</c><00:12:55.200><c> down</c><00:12:55.500><c> and</c><00:12:55.659><c> talked</c><00:12:55.860><c> with</c><00:12:56.039><c> the</c><00:12:56.159><c> woman,</c>

00:12:56.539 --> 00:12:59.799
and<00:12:57.139><c> he</c><00:12:57.659><c> then</c><00:12:57.960><c> sees</c><00:12:58.240><c> a</c><00:12:58.600><c> swarm</c><00:12:58.759><c> of</c><00:12:59.019><c> bees,</c><00:12:59.240><c> doesn't</c><00:12:59.559><c> he?</c>

00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:37.460

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:38.879

So<00:13:41.340><c> they</c><00:13:41.480><c> could</c><00:13:41.700><c> not</c><00:13:41.899><c> tell</c><00:13:42.139><c> the</c><00:13:42.320><c> riddle,</c>

So<00:13:46.379><c> she</c><00:13:46.580><c> says,</c><00:13:46.919><c> thou</c><00:13:46.960><c> hast</c><00:13:47.200><c> not</c><00:13:47.399><c> told</c><00:13:47.659><c> me.</c>

00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:59.039

00:14:04.700 --> 00:14:07.539
He<00:14:04.799><c> didn't</c><00:14:05.100><c> tell</c><00:14:05.340><c> them,</c><00:14:05.759><c> and</c><00:14:06.019><c> they're</c><00:14:06.539><c> still</c><00:14:06.740><c> yet</c><00:14:06.899><c> to</c><00:14:07.120><c> find</c><00:14:07.340><c> out</c>

And<00:14:17.500><c> when</c><00:14:17.600><c> we</c><00:14:17.740><c> think</c><00:14:17.899><c> about</c><00:14:18.120><c> it,</c><00:14:18.299><c> sisters,</c>

00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:20.899
secrets<00:14:19.080><c> are</c><00:14:19.480><c> right</c><00:14:19.679><c> throughout</c><00:14:19.919><c> scripture,</c><00:14:20.379><c> aren't</c><00:14:20.539><c> they?</c>

00:14:21.299 --> 00:14:23.379
The<00:14:21.500><c> Apostle</c><00:14:21.879><c> Peter</c><00:14:22.200><c> talks</c><00:14:22.500><c> in</c><00:14:22.720><c> his</c><00:14:22.980><c> epistle</c>

00:14:23.379 --> 00:14:26.159
about<00:14:23.759><c> the</c><00:14:24.259><c> things</c><00:14:24.399><c> that</c><00:14:24.679><c> angels</c><00:14:24.879><c> desire</c><00:14:25.340><c> to</c><00:14:25.500><c> look</c><00:14:25.720><c> into.</c>

00:14:26.620 --> 00:14:28.379
We<00:14:26.779><c> know</c><00:14:27.000><c> that</c><00:14:27.120><c> there</c><00:14:27.259><c> is</c><00:14:27.460><c> imperfect</c><00:14:27.919><c> knowledge</c>

00:14:28.379 --> 00:14:30.120
amongst<00:14:28.620><c> even</c><00:14:28.879><c> the</c><00:14:29.100><c> angelic</c><00:14:29.500><c> community.</c>

00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:35.320
So<00:14:30.899><c> not</c><00:14:31.320><c> everyone</c><00:14:31.840><c> knows</c><00:14:32.220><c> everything</c><00:14:32.860><c> in</c><00:14:33.659><c> the</c><00:14:33.879><c> purpose</c><00:14:34.139><c> of</c><00:14:34.460><c> God.</c>

00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:36.879
And<00:14:35.539><c> no</c><00:14:35.679><c> doubt,</c><00:14:35.899><c> Brother</c><00:14:36.039><c> Andrew</c><00:14:36.379><c> will</c><00:14:36.580><c> take</c><00:14:36.759><c> us</c>

00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:39.480
to<00:14:37.220><c> those</c><00:14:37.460><c> wonderful</c><00:14:37.820><c> verses</c><00:14:38.080><c> in</c><00:14:38.340><c> Colossians,</c><00:14:38.720><c> perhaps</c><00:14:39.000><c> tomorrow.</c>

00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:42.580
The<00:14:39.919><c> mystery</c><00:14:40.539><c> that</c><00:14:40.799><c> has</c><00:14:40.940><c> been</c><00:14:41.299><c> hidden</c><00:14:41.659><c> through</c><00:14:42.059><c> all</c><00:14:42.320><c> ages</c>

00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:45.840
and<00:14:42.820><c> generations,</c><00:14:43.539><c> says</c><00:14:43.620><c> Paul,</c><00:14:44.620><c> Colossians</c><00:14:45.059><c> chapter</c><00:14:45.399><c> one,</c>

00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.960
and<00:14:46.179><c> yet</c><00:14:46.299><c> has</c><00:14:46.460><c> been</c><00:14:46.659><c> revealed</c><00:14:47.000><c> to</c><00:14:47.240><c> us</c><00:14:47.539><c> now</c><00:14:47.919><c> in</c><00:14:48.139><c> this</c><00:14:48.340><c> last</c><00:14:48.659><c> time</c>

00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:51.200
that<00:14:49.320><c> the</c><00:14:49.559><c> hope</c><00:14:49.700><c> of</c><00:14:50.019><c> glory,</c><00:14:50.379><c> Christ</c><00:14:50.740><c> in</c><00:14:50.940><c> us,</c>

00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:55.879
what<00:14:51.580><c> a</c><00:14:51.940><c> wonderful</c><00:14:52.360><c> secret</c><00:14:52.700><c> that</c><00:14:52.980><c> is</c><00:14:53.519><c> to</c><00:14:53.840><c> know</c><00:14:54.200><c> and</c><00:14:54.480><c> to</c><00:14:54.899><c> share.</c>

00:14:56.340 --> 00:14:58.299
So<00:14:56.480><c> secrets</c><00:14:56.659><c> shouldn't</c><00:14:56.919><c> be</c><00:14:57.240><c> a</c><00:14:57.700><c> problem,</c><00:14:58.220><c> really,</c>

00:14:58.299 --> 00:15:01.200
when<00:14:58.440><c> we</c><00:14:58.639><c> think</c><00:14:58.860><c> about</c><00:14:59.179><c> it</c><00:14:59.879><c> more</c><00:15:00.259><c> carefully.</c>

00:15:01.659 --> 00:15:04.019
And<00:15:01.740><c> the</c><00:15:01.919><c> fact</c><00:15:02.059><c> that</c><00:15:02.299><c> Samson's</c><00:15:02.759><c> parents</c><00:15:03.080><c> didn't</c><00:15:03.419><c> understand</c>

00:15:04.019 --> 00:15:05.519
shouldn't<00:15:04.379><c> trouble</c><00:15:04.639><c> us</c><00:15:04.860><c> either,</c><00:15:05.220><c> should</c><00:15:05.320><c> it?</c>

00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:07.419
They<00:15:06.019><c> were</c><00:15:06.259><c> outside</c><00:15:06.759><c> the</c><00:15:07.059><c> secret,</c>

00:15:07.659 --> 00:15:10.200
and<00:15:07.860><c> we</c><00:15:08.000><c> could</c><00:15:08.200><c> perhaps</c><00:15:08.419><c> appreciate</c><00:15:08.879><c> their</c><00:15:09.120><c> concern,</c><00:15:09.700><c> therefore,</c>

00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:12.379
if<00:15:10.500><c> they</c><00:15:10.679><c> didn't</c><00:15:10.840><c> really</c><00:15:11.139><c> understand</c><00:15:11.500><c> what</c><00:15:11.620><c> was</c><00:15:11.840><c> going</c><00:15:12.080><c> on,</c>

00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:14.139
and<00:15:12.639><c> their</c><00:15:12.840><c> boy</c><00:15:13.000><c> seems</c><00:15:13.259><c> to</c><00:15:13.460><c> want</c><00:15:13.620><c> to</c><00:15:13.820><c> marry</c>

00:15:14.139 --> 00:15:15.860
someone<00:15:14.600><c> who</c><00:15:14.840><c> doesn't</c><00:15:15.120><c> share</c><00:15:15.399><c> their</c><00:15:15.679><c> faith.</c>

00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:17.539
We<00:15:15.980><c> can</c><00:15:16.220><c> understand</c><00:15:16.620><c> that.</c>

00:15:18.139 --> 00:15:20.299
But<00:15:18.399><c> we</c><00:15:18.500><c> only</c><00:15:18.639><c> need</c><00:15:18.759><c> to</c><00:15:18.899><c> think</c><00:15:19.019><c> about</c><00:15:19.220><c> Mary</c><00:15:19.460><c> and</c><00:15:19.639><c> Joseph,</c><00:15:19.960><c> don't</c><00:15:20.120><c> we?</c>

00:15:20.299 --> 00:15:21.620
Another<00:15:20.720><c> faithful</c><00:15:21.100><c> couple</c>

00:15:21.620 --> 00:15:24.299
who<00:15:22.179><c> didn't</c><00:15:22.460><c> truly</c><00:15:22.820><c> appreciate</c><00:15:23.320><c> the</c><00:15:23.539><c> Lord's</c><00:15:23.980><c> work.</c>

00:15:24.460 --> 00:15:28.340
You<00:15:24.659><c> remember</c><00:15:24.820><c> when</c><00:15:25.000><c> the</c><00:15:25.220><c> Lord</c><00:15:25.539><c> escaped</c><00:15:26.440><c> their</c><00:15:27.179><c> care,</c><00:15:27.860><c> as</c><00:15:28.019><c> it</c><00:15:28.200><c> were,</c>

00:15:28.340 --> 00:15:29.860
on<00:15:28.519><c> that</c><00:15:28.740><c> journey</c><00:15:28.980><c> from</c><00:15:29.200><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:31.539
and<00:15:30.340><c> they</c><00:15:30.460><c> had</c><00:15:30.639><c> to</c><00:15:30.879><c> trek</c><00:15:30.980><c> all</c><00:15:31.179><c> the</c><00:15:31.240><c> way</c><00:15:31.379><c> back,</c>

00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:32.820
and<00:15:31.679><c> they</c><00:15:32.080><c> were</c><00:15:32.279><c> panic</c><00:15:32.620><c>-stricken.</c>

00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:34.360
They'd<00:15:33.279><c> lost</c><00:15:33.480><c> the</c><00:15:33.620><c> Son</c><00:15:33.799><c> of</c><00:15:34.039><c> God,</c>

00:15:34.539 --> 00:15:37.580
and<00:15:34.860><c> they</c><00:15:35.179><c> searched</c><00:15:35.440><c> for</c><00:15:35.659><c> three</c><00:15:35.899><c> days</c><00:15:36.500><c> only</c><00:15:36.919><c> to</c><00:15:37.179><c> find</c><00:15:37.320><c> him</c><00:15:37.419><c> in</c>

00:15:37.580 --> 00:15:38.159
the<00:15:37.720><c> temple.</c>

00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:40.659
And<00:15:38.759><c> with</c><00:15:38.899><c> that</c><00:15:39.200><c> sort</c><00:15:39.340><c> of</c><00:15:39.620><c> reproachful</c><00:15:40.200><c> voice,</c>

00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:44.379
they<00:15:40.940><c> say,</c><00:15:41.559><c> you</c><00:15:41.820><c> know,</c><00:15:42.039><c> how</c><00:15:42.259><c> is</c><00:15:42.460><c> it</c><00:15:42.620><c> that</c><00:15:42.799><c> they're</c><00:15:43.179><c> treated</c><00:15:43.460><c> as</c><00:15:43.720><c> thus?</c>

00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:45.659
And<00:15:44.860><c> the</c><00:15:44.899><c> Lord</c><00:15:45.080><c> looks</c><00:15:45.299><c> at</c><00:15:45.419><c> them</c><00:15:45.539><c> and</c><00:15:45.539><c> says,</c>

00:15:45.740 --> 00:15:47.600
where<00:15:45.860><c> else</c><00:15:46.019><c> did</c><00:15:46.100><c> you</c><00:15:46.279><c> expect</c><00:15:46.500><c> to</c><00:15:46.700><c> find</c><00:15:46.879><c> me?</c>

00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:51.559
I<00:15:48.500><c> wish</c><00:15:48.639><c> you</c><00:15:48.840><c> not</c><00:15:49.159><c> that</c><00:15:49.320><c> I</c><00:15:49.419><c> should</c><00:15:49.559><c> be</c><00:15:49.740><c> about</c><00:15:49.940><c> my</c><00:15:50.460><c> father's</c><00:15:51.059><c> business.</c>

00:15:51.820 --> 00:15:53.700
And<00:15:52.000><c> so</c><00:15:52.159><c> they</c><00:15:52.320><c> didn't</c><00:15:52.519><c> really</c><00:15:52.820><c> appreciate,</c><00:15:53.539><c> did</c><00:15:53.539><c> they?</c>

00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.600
They<00:15:53.940><c> didn't</c><00:15:54.159><c> fully</c><00:15:54.399><c> understand</c><00:15:54.820><c> the</c><00:15:55.039><c> Lord's</c><00:15:55.519><c> behavior</c>

00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:00.960
or<00:15:58.100><c> all</c><00:15:58.559><c> that</c><00:15:59.019><c> encompassed</c><00:15:59.720><c> his</c><00:15:59.960><c> ministry.</c>

00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:02.879
So<00:16:01.379><c> as</c><00:16:01.500><c> we</c><00:16:01.559><c> say,</c><00:16:01.759><c> the</c><00:16:01.799><c> fact</c><00:16:01.940><c> that</c><00:16:02.100><c> the</c><00:16:02.279><c> parents</c><00:16:02.399><c> are</c><00:16:02.600><c> outside</c>

00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:03.259
the<00:16:03.120><c> secret,</c>

00:16:03.340 --> 00:16:05.700
I<00:16:03.399><c> don't</c><00:16:03.600><c> think</c><00:16:03.740><c> should</c><00:16:04.179><c> trouble</c><00:16:04.419><c> us</c><00:16:04.580><c> too</c><00:16:04.820><c> much.</c>

00:16:06.580 --> 00:16:08.799
Well,<00:16:06.899><c> let's</c><00:16:07.419><c> move</c><00:16:07.580><c> on</c><00:16:07.820><c> then.</c>

00:16:10.539 --> 00:16:12.460
And<00:16:11.000><c> verse</c><00:16:11.460><c> five,</c><00:16:11.820><c> as</c><00:16:11.960><c> we</c><00:16:12.159><c> said,</c>

00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:15.360
having<00:16:13.059><c> perhaps</c><00:16:14.240><c> come</c><00:16:14.679><c> up</c><00:16:14.820><c> with</c><00:16:14.940><c> this</c><00:16:15.179><c> plan,</c>

00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:17.059
God<00:16:15.899><c> and</c><00:16:16.059><c> Samson</c><00:16:16.360><c> have</c><00:16:16.519><c> this</c><00:16:16.799><c> plan,</c>

00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.220
there's<00:16:17.840><c> going</c><00:16:18.000><c> to</c><00:16:18.200><c> be</c><00:16:18.679><c> a</c><00:16:18.980><c> wedding.</c>

00:16:19.299 --> 00:16:21.159
So<00:16:19.620><c> Samson</c><00:16:19.879><c> goes</c><00:16:20.100><c> down</c><00:16:20.340><c> with</c><00:16:20.519><c> his</c><00:16:20.740><c> father</c><00:16:20.919><c> and</c><00:16:21.039><c> mother</c>

00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:22.179
to<00:16:21.320><c> make</c><00:16:21.480><c> some</c><00:16:21.720><c> arrangements,</c>

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.980
and<00:16:22.379><c> on</c><00:16:22.539><c> the</c><00:16:22.679><c> way,</c><00:16:23.139><c> they're</c><00:16:23.399><c> confronted</c><00:16:23.720><c> by</c><00:16:24.019><c> a</c><00:16:24.200><c> lion.</c>

00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:26.600
And<00:16:25.559><c> he</c><00:16:25.879><c> kills</c><00:16:26.139><c> the</c><00:16:26.340><c> lion,</c>

00:16:26.860 --> 00:16:30.120
it<00:16:27.159><c> says,</c><00:16:27.519><c> as</c><00:16:27.519><c> easily</c><00:16:27.840><c> as</c><00:16:27.960><c> he</c><00:16:28.139><c> might</c><00:16:28.299><c> have</c><00:16:28.419><c> rent</c><00:16:28.659><c> a</c><00:16:28.820><c> goat,</c><00:16:29.100><c> a</c><00:16:29.340><c> kid.</c>

00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:30.759
I<00:16:30.340><c> don't</c><00:16:30.419><c> know</c><00:16:30.519><c> about</c><00:16:30.580><c> you,</c>

00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:32.820
I<00:16:30.860><c> haven't</c><00:16:31.019><c> done</c><00:16:31.159><c> too</c><00:16:31.379><c> much</c><00:16:31.519><c> renting</c><00:16:31.799><c> of</c><00:16:32.059><c> goats.</c>

00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:35.100
I<00:16:33.820><c> don't</c><00:16:33.960><c> know</c><00:16:34.039><c> how</c><00:16:34.220><c> easy</c><00:16:34.440><c> it</c><00:16:34.639><c> is,</c>

00:16:35.100 --> 00:16:37.980
but<00:16:35.480><c> I</c><00:16:35.700><c> understand</c><00:16:36.059><c> the</c><00:16:36.200><c> idea</c><00:16:36.500><c> is</c><00:16:36.820><c> that</c><00:16:36.980><c> of</c><00:16:37.139><c> a</c><00:16:37.320><c> cooked</c><00:16:37.559><c> goat.</c>

00:16:38.259 --> 00:16:40.299
So<00:16:38.460><c> as</c><00:16:38.759><c> easy</c><00:16:38.980><c> as</c><00:16:39.139><c> meat</c><00:16:39.379><c> falls</c><00:16:39.580><c> off</c><00:16:39.799><c> the</c><00:16:40.019><c> bone</c>

00:16:40.299 --> 00:16:43.019
might<00:16:40.740><c> be</c><00:16:40.980><c> a</c><00:16:41.360><c> better</c><00:16:41.600><c> metaphor</c><00:16:42.059><c> for</c><00:16:42.259><c> us</c><00:16:42.379><c> to</c><00:16:42.600><c> understand.</c>

00:16:43.019 --> 00:16:46.879
That's<00:16:43.500><c> how</c><00:16:43.759><c> easily</c><00:16:44.320><c> Samson</c><00:16:44.659><c> was</c><00:16:44.879><c> able</c><00:16:45.139><c> to</c><00:16:45.960><c> tear</c><00:16:46.320><c> and</c><00:16:46.539><c> destroy</c>

00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.980
the<00:16:47.139><c> lion.</c>

00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:52.639
And<00:16:49.659><c> some</c><00:16:49.820><c> say,</c><00:16:50.039><c> well,</c><00:16:50.279><c> this</c><00:16:51.259><c> is</c><00:16:51.460><c> the</c><00:16:51.519><c> start</c><00:16:51.899><c> of</c><00:16:52.100><c> the</c><00:16:52.279><c> decline.</c>

00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:55.580
Here<00:16:52.940><c> is</c><00:16:53.220><c> Samson</c><00:16:53.580><c> breaking</c><00:16:54.000><c> one</c><00:16:54.259><c> of</c><00:16:54.379><c> his</c><00:16:54.700><c> vows.</c>

00:16:55.779 --> 00:16:56.740
And<00:16:56.000><c> remember,</c><00:16:56.139><c> we</c><00:16:56.299><c> looked,</c><00:16:56.480><c> didn't</c><00:16:56.639><c> we,</c>

00:16:56.740 --> 00:16:58.179

00:16:58.220 --> 00:17:01.080
and<00:16:58.519><c> here</c><00:16:58.779><c> is</c><00:16:59.019><c> Samson</c><00:16:59.299><c> breaking</c><00:16:59.720><c> one</c><00:17:00.159><c> aspect</c><00:17:00.639><c> of</c><00:17:00.899><c> that.</c>

00:17:01.379 --> 00:17:03.940
In<00:17:01.500><c> fact,</c><00:17:01.639><c> they</c><00:17:01.899><c> say</c><00:17:02.320><c> that</c><00:17:02.740><c> it's</c><00:17:02.980><c> a</c><00:17:03.120><c> progressive</c><00:17:03.500><c> breaking</c><00:17:03.759><c> of</c>

all<00:17:04.119><c> of</c><00:17:04.220><c> them.</c>

00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:06.799
This<00:17:04.440><c> is</c><00:17:04.579><c> just</c><00:17:04.740><c> about</c><00:17:04.859><c> the</c><00:17:05.180><c> start</c><00:17:05.819><c> of</c><00:17:06.180><c> Samson</c>

00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:10.880
Well,<00:17:10.220><c> as</c><00:17:10.319><c> we</c><00:17:10.440><c> saw</c><00:17:10.519><c> yesterday,</c>

00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.720
I<00:17:11.099><c> believe</c><00:17:11.420><c> the</c><00:17:11.640><c> Nazarite</c><00:17:11.940><c> vow</c><00:17:12.119><c> is</c><00:17:12.380><c> based</c><00:17:12.599><c> very</c><00:17:12.900><c> much</c><00:17:13.200><c> on</c><00:17:13.799><c> the</c><00:17:14.140><c> priesthood</c>

00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.779
and<00:17:15.140><c> was</c><00:17:15.440><c> the</c><00:17:15.619><c> opportunity</c><00:17:16.119><c> for</c><00:17:16.380><c> an</c><00:17:16.599><c> Israelite</c><00:17:17.059><c> man</c><00:17:17.240><c> or</c><00:17:17.460><c> woman</c>

00:17:17.779 --> 00:17:19.900
to<00:17:18.519><c> become</c><00:17:18.920><c> like</c><00:17:19.180><c> the</c><00:17:19.420><c> high</c><00:17:19.680><c> priest,</c>

00:17:19.940 --> 00:17:23.839
to<00:17:20.180><c> take</c><00:17:20.299><c> on</c><00:17:20.559><c> that</c><00:17:20.799><c> additional,</c><00:17:21.660><c> that</c><00:17:22.819><c> step</c><00:17:23.180><c> up,</c><00:17:23.400><c> as</c><00:17:23.539><c> it</c><00:17:23.680><c> were,</c>

00:17:23.940 --> 00:17:25.599
of<00:17:24.099><c> voluntary</c><00:17:24.420><c> separation.</c>

00:17:25.859 --> 00:17:27.000
And<00:17:26.019><c> as</c><00:17:26.140><c> we</c><00:17:26.319><c> commented</c><00:17:26.539><c> yesterday,</c>

00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.180
I<00:17:27.359><c> think</c><00:17:27.559><c> animals'</c><00:17:28.240><c> carcasses</c><00:17:28.700><c> fall</c><00:17:29.039><c> outside</c><00:17:29.460><c> the</c><00:17:29.700><c> remit</c>

00:17:30.180 --> 00:17:33.480
of<00:17:30.700><c> the</c><00:17:31.240><c> uncleanness</c><00:17:31.740><c> that</c><00:17:31.920><c> a</c><00:17:32.039><c> dead</c><00:17:32.200><c> body</c><00:17:32.440><c> would</c><00:17:32.680><c> bring</c><00:17:33.059><c> upon</c>

00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:34.160
a<00:17:33.700><c> Nazarite.</c>

00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.339
Certainly,<00:17:34.779><c> they</c><00:17:34.880><c> were</c><00:17:35.019><c> not</c><00:17:35.140><c> to</c><00:17:35.299><c> be</c><00:17:35.539><c> contaminated</c><00:17:36.099><c> by</c><00:17:36.839><c> dead</c><00:17:37.039><c> bodies,</c>

00:17:37.339 --> 00:17:38.980
but<00:17:37.480><c> I</c><00:17:37.680><c> believe</c><00:17:37.799><c> that</c><00:17:38.000><c> was</c><00:17:38.220><c> human</c><00:17:38.579><c> corpses</c>

00:17:38.980 --> 00:17:40.480
and<00:17:39.420><c> animals</c><00:17:39.700><c> were</c><00:17:39.900><c> outside</c><00:17:40.220><c> of</c><00:17:40.359><c> that.</c>

00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:43.299
As<00:17:40.779><c> we</c><00:17:41.240><c> suggested,</c><00:17:41.759><c> how</c><00:17:41.859><c> else</c><00:17:42.019><c> could</c><00:17:42.200><c> the</c><00:17:42.359><c> priest</c><00:17:42.539><c> do</c><00:17:42.720><c> his</c><00:17:42.980><c> work?</c>

00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:45.660
How<00:17:43.680><c> else</c><00:17:43.839><c> could</c><00:17:44.000><c> he</c><00:17:44.200><c> carry</c><00:17:44.380><c> out</c><00:17:44.640><c> his</c><00:17:44.759><c> duty</c><00:17:45.059><c> faithfully?</c>

00:17:46.140 --> 00:17:48.660
So<00:17:46.319><c> I</c><00:17:46.380><c> don't</c><00:17:46.619><c> believe</c><00:17:46.759><c> this</c><00:17:46.980><c> is</c><00:17:47.339><c> a</c><00:17:47.559><c> breaking</c><00:17:47.839><c> of</c><00:17:48.079><c> Samson's</c><00:17:48.599><c> vow</c>

00:17:48.660 --> 00:17:49.160
at<00:17:48.940><c> all,</c>

00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:51.539
but<00:17:49.839><c> I'll</c><00:17:50.460><c> leave</c><00:17:50.619><c> that</c><00:17:50.819><c> with</c><00:17:50.980><c> you.</c>

00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.000
Verse<00:17:52.039><c> seven,</c><00:17:52.460><c> they</c><00:17:52.460><c> get</c><00:17:52.680><c> down</c><00:17:53.140><c> to</c><00:17:53.539><c> Timnath,</c>

00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:56.099
and<00:17:54.299><c> Samson</c><00:17:54.660><c> talks</c><00:17:54.980><c> with</c><00:17:55.180><c> the</c><00:17:55.319><c> woman.</c>

00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:58.019
And<00:17:56.740><c> again,</c><00:17:56.900><c> that</c><00:17:57.079><c> little</c><00:17:57.319><c> phrase</c><00:17:57.539><c> is</c><00:17:57.680><c> there,</c><00:17:57.799><c> isn't</c><00:17:57.940><c> it?</c>

00:17:58.019 --> 00:18:00.000
She<00:17:58.240><c> pleased</c><00:17:58.599><c> Samson</c><00:17:59.119><c> well.</c>

00:18:00.019 --> 00:18:01.819
But<00:18:00.220><c> notice</c><00:18:00.559><c> that</c><00:18:00.759><c> it's</c><00:18:01.000><c> the</c><00:18:01.220><c> conversation</c>

00:18:01.819 --> 00:18:03.160
that<00:18:02.119><c> seems</c><00:18:02.299><c> to</c><00:18:02.599><c> please</c><00:18:02.759><c> Samson.</c>

00:18:03.380 --> 00:18:05.180
It<00:18:03.519><c> wasn't</c><00:18:03.700><c> her</c><00:18:03.960><c> looks</c><00:18:04.200><c> that</c><00:18:04.359><c> were</c><00:18:04.519><c> a</c><00:18:04.720><c> motivation.</c>

00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:07.440
This<00:18:05.839><c> isn't</c><00:18:06.059><c> the</c><00:18:06.380><c> playboy,</c><00:18:06.740><c> the</c><00:18:06.940><c> womanizer,</c>

00:18:07.460 --> 00:18:10.000

00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.079
It<00:18:10.319><c> was</c><00:18:10.700><c> something</c><00:18:11.079><c> about</c><00:18:11.440><c> communicating</c><00:18:12.039><c> with</c><00:18:12.299><c> this</c><00:18:12.500><c> woman</c>

00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:15.460
that<00:18:13.799><c> pleased</c><00:18:14.039><c> Samson</c><00:18:14.339><c> that</c><00:18:14.480><c> made</c><00:18:14.619><c> her</c><00:18:14.779><c> the</c><00:18:14.900><c> right</c><00:18:15.059><c> target</c>

00:18:15.460 --> 00:18:16.440
for<00:18:15.740><c> him.</c>

00:18:17.140 --> 00:18:19.019
And<00:18:17.519><c> remember,</c><00:18:17.940><c> she</c><00:18:18.079><c> was</c><00:18:18.240><c> in</c><00:18:18.279><c> the</c><00:18:18.440><c> right</c><00:18:18.559><c> location.</c>

00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:20.339
That<00:18:19.180><c> was</c><00:18:19.339><c> the</c><00:18:19.440><c> thing</c><00:18:19.539><c> we</c><00:18:19.680><c> saw,</c><00:18:19.839><c> wasn't</c><00:18:19.940><c> it,</c><00:18:20.019><c> from</c><00:18:20.180><c> the</c>

00:18:20.339 --> 00:18:21.019
opening<00:18:20.619><c> verses.</c>

00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:24.539
She<00:18:21.480><c> was</c><00:18:21.660><c> in</c><00:18:21.839><c> the</c><00:18:22.099><c> place</c><00:18:22.680><c> that</c><00:18:23.380><c> Samson</c><00:18:23.740><c> wanted</c><00:18:24.000><c> to</c><00:18:24.299><c> achieve</c>

00:18:24.539 --> 00:18:25.539
the<00:18:24.700><c> purpose</c><00:18:25.039><c> of</c><00:18:25.339><c> God.</c>

00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:28.619
He<00:18:25.940><c> went</c><00:18:26.119><c> down</c><00:18:26.339><c> to</c><00:18:26.559><c> Timnath,</c><00:18:27.000><c> the</c><00:18:27.240><c> portion</c><00:18:27.640><c> of</c><00:18:27.799><c> God's</c><00:18:28.279><c> inheritance,</c>

00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:30.460
and<00:18:29.079><c> he</c><00:18:29.279><c> found</c><00:18:29.400><c> a</c><00:18:29.539><c> woman</c><00:18:29.660><c> of</c><00:18:29.819><c> the</c><00:18:29.960><c> Philistines</c><00:18:30.279><c> there.</c>

00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:31.779
So<00:18:30.640><c> she's</c><00:18:30.799><c> in</c><00:18:30.900><c> the</c><00:18:31.019><c> right</c><00:18:31.160><c> location.</c>

00:18:32.259 --> 00:18:33.460
And<00:18:32.460><c> then</c><00:18:32.559><c> he</c><00:18:32.640><c> talks</c><00:18:32.980><c> to</c><00:18:33.180><c> her,</c>

00:18:33.460 --> 00:18:35.140
and<00:18:33.619><c> he</c><00:18:33.759><c> finds</c><00:18:33.960><c> she's</c><00:18:34.220><c> got</c><00:18:34.339><c> the</c><00:18:34.480><c> right</c><00:18:34.700><c> character</c>

00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:36.279
for<00:18:35.259><c> what</c><00:18:35.400><c> he</c><00:18:35.539><c> wants</c><00:18:35.680><c> to</c><00:18:35.960><c> achieve.</c>

00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:38.720
Not<00:18:36.940><c> necessarily</c><00:18:37.519><c> a</c><00:18:37.900><c> marriage,</c><00:18:38.160><c> you</c><00:18:38.339><c> understand,</c>

00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:40.559
but<00:18:38.880><c> the</c><00:18:39.039><c> work</c><00:18:39.259><c> of</c><00:18:39.480><c> God.</c>

00:18:41.339 --> 00:18:44.000
So<00:18:41.740><c> he</c><00:18:42.200><c> talks</c><00:18:42.539><c> with</c><00:18:42.740><c> her,</c><00:18:42.920><c> and</c><00:18:42.940><c> she</c><00:18:43.099><c> pleased</c><00:18:43.359><c> him</c><00:18:43.640><c> well.</c>

00:18:44.460 --> 00:18:47.500
And<00:18:44.579><c> so</c><00:18:44.720><c> after</c><00:18:44.960><c> a</c><00:18:45.460><c> time,</c><00:18:45.700><c> he</c><00:18:45.799><c> returned</c><00:18:46.099><c> to</c><00:18:46.319><c> take</c><00:18:46.579><c> her.</c>

00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.259
And<00:18:47.819><c> he</c><00:18:48.220><c> discovers,</c><00:18:48.779><c> as</c><00:18:48.799><c> he's</c><00:18:49.240><c> back</c><00:18:49.420><c> on</c><00:18:49.579><c> his</c><00:18:49.759><c> journey</c><00:18:50.019><c> to</c><00:18:50.240><c> and</c><00:18:50.460><c> fro</c>

00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:53.779
between<00:18:52.099><c> Zora</c><00:18:52.519><c> and</c><00:18:52.680><c> Eshtel</c><00:18:53.000><c> and</c><00:18:53.500><c> Timnath,</c>

00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:55.319
between<00:18:54.039><c> the</c><00:18:54.220><c> camp</c><00:18:54.380><c> of</c><00:18:54.539><c> Dan</c><00:18:54.720><c> and</c><00:18:54.799><c> Timnath,</c>

00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:59.339
well,<00:18:55.960><c> he</c><00:18:56.180><c> turns</c><00:18:56.460><c> aside</c><00:18:57.119><c> to</c><00:18:57.440><c> see</c><00:18:57.640><c> the</c><00:18:57.880><c> carcass</c><00:18:58.180><c> of</c><00:18:58.359><c> the</c><00:18:58.539><c> lion.</c>

00:18:59.539 --> 00:19:01.220
And<00:18:59.799><c> that</c><00:18:59.920><c> phrase</c><00:19:00.119><c> turned</c><00:19:00.400><c> aside,</c>

00:19:01.700 --> 00:19:03.640
it<00:19:02.160><c> suggests</c><00:19:02.500><c> a</c><00:19:02.680><c> sort</c><00:19:02.779><c> of</c><00:19:02.980><c> remarkable</c><00:19:03.380><c> event.</c>

00:19:03.740 --> 00:19:05.420
It's<00:19:04.099><c> the</c><00:19:04.279><c> same</c><00:19:04.519><c> word</c><00:19:04.660><c> that's</c><00:19:04.900><c> used</c><00:19:04.980><c> to</c><00:19:05.200><c> describe</c>

00:19:05.420 --> 00:19:06.500
Moses'<00:19:05.960><c> astonishment.</c>

00:19:06.500 --> 00:19:08.440
Remember<00:19:06.960><c> when</c><00:19:07.240><c> the</c><00:19:07.779><c> burning</c><00:19:08.099><c> bush,</c>

00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.980
and<00:19:08.700><c> Moses</c><00:19:08.900><c> turned</c><00:19:09.319><c> aside</c><00:19:09.980><c> to</c><00:19:10.319><c> see</c><00:19:10.619><c> the</c><00:19:11.019><c> miraculous</c><00:19:11.559><c> nature</c>

00:19:11.980 --> 00:19:12.279
of<00:19:12.160><c> it,</c>

00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:14.079
that<00:19:12.660><c> there</c><00:19:12.960><c> was</c><00:19:13.099><c> a</c><00:19:13.240><c> bush</c><00:19:13.359><c> on</c><00:19:13.680><c> fire.</c>

00:19:14.500 --> 00:19:15.660
Pity<00:19:14.720><c> Will</c><00:19:14.920><c> Southgate</c><00:19:15.279><c> wasn't</c><00:19:15.480><c> there.</c>

00:19:15.660 --> 00:19:16.579
I'm<00:19:15.819><c> sure</c><00:19:15.880><c> he</c><00:19:15.960><c> put</c><00:19:16.119><c> that</c><00:19:16.359><c> out.</c>

00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.000
But<00:19:16.819><c> there</c><00:19:16.960><c> was</c><00:19:17.099><c> a</c><00:19:17.220><c> bush</c><00:19:17.339><c> on</c><00:19:17.660><c> fire,</c><00:19:18.359><c> and</c><00:19:18.759><c> it</c><00:19:19.319><c> wasn't</c><00:19:19.480><c> being</c><00:19:19.660><c> destroyed.</c>

00:19:20.059 --> 00:19:21.839
It<00:19:20.160><c> wasn't</c><00:19:20.299><c> being</c><00:19:20.539><c> burnt</c><00:19:20.859><c> up.</c>

00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:24.319
It<00:19:22.359><c> remained</c><00:19:22.640><c> unconsumed.</c>

00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:26.400
And<00:19:24.880><c> it</c><00:19:24.980><c> was</c><00:19:25.240><c> a</c><00:19:25.660><c> marvelous</c><00:19:25.920><c> thing,</c><00:19:26.140><c> wasn't</c><00:19:26.259><c> it?</c>

00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.000
Of<00:19:26.559><c> course,</c><00:19:26.720><c> then</c><00:19:26.980><c> God</c><00:19:27.180><c> reveals</c><00:19:27.599><c> himself</c><00:19:28.019><c> to</c><00:19:28.259><c> Moses</c><00:19:28.960><c> through</c><00:19:29.579><c> that.</c>

00:19:30.339 --> 00:19:31.339
And<00:19:30.559><c> it's</c><00:19:30.720><c> the</c><00:19:30.859><c> same</c><00:19:31.000><c> word</c><00:19:31.119><c> here.</c>

00:19:31.420 --> 00:19:35.039
Samson<00:19:31.740><c> turned</c><00:19:32.079><c> aside</c><00:19:32.640><c> to</c><00:19:32.980><c> see</c><00:19:33.279><c> the</c><00:19:33.539><c> carcass</c><00:19:33.859><c> of</c><00:19:34.039><c> the</c><00:19:34.200><c> lion.</c>

00:19:37.940 --> 00:19:41.339
Now,<00:19:38.380><c> I</c><00:19:38.819><c> questioned</c><00:19:39.240><c> a</c><00:19:39.359><c> few,</c><00:19:39.640><c> two</c><00:19:39.920><c> beekeepers,</c><00:19:41.140><c> in</c><00:19:41.140><c> fact,</c>

00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:42.599
and<00:19:41.500><c> they</c><00:19:41.740><c> disagreed.</c>

00:19:43.099 --> 00:19:44.799
Two<00:19:43.319><c> beekeepers,</c><00:19:43.740><c> or</c><00:19:43.799><c> not</c><00:19:43.980><c> two</c><00:19:44.240><c> beekeepers,</c>

00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:46.140
that<00:19:44.960><c> was</c><00:19:45.140><c> the</c><00:19:45.240><c> question.</c>

00:19:46.940 --> 00:19:48.359
Oh,<00:19:47.200><c> come</c><00:19:47.480><c> on.</c>

00:19:49.099 --> 00:19:49.500
Come<00:19:49.279><c> on.</c>

00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:51.839
Do<00:19:49.880><c> you</c><00:19:49.900><c> know</c><00:19:49.980><c> how</c><00:19:50.079><c> long</c><00:19:50.220><c> it</c><00:19:50.319><c> takes</c><00:19:50.500><c> to</c><00:19:50.700><c> prepare</c><00:19:50.880><c> this</c><00:19:51.119><c> stuff?</c>

00:19:53.819 --> 00:19:56.480
Note<00:19:54.259><c> to</c><00:19:54.480><c> self,</c><00:19:54.680><c> no</c><00:19:54.839><c> intelligent</c><00:19:55.220><c> jokes</c><00:19:55.480><c> in</c><00:19:55.640><c> the</c><00:19:55.740><c> evening.</c>

00:19:57.400 --> 00:19:59.859
Anyway,<00:19:58.380><c> I</c><00:19:58.640><c> consulted</c><00:19:59.059><c> two</c><00:19:59.299><c> beekeepers,</c>

00:19:59.859 --> 00:20:01.420
and<00:20:00.519><c> they</c><00:20:00.759><c> disagreed.</c>

00:20:01.460 --> 00:20:03.720
So<00:20:01.799><c> that</c><00:20:02.160><c> left</c><00:20:02.299><c> me</c><00:20:02.460><c> with</c><00:20:02.539><c> a</c><00:20:02.599><c> bit</c><00:20:02.700><c> of</c><00:20:03.180><c> an</c><00:20:03.339><c> issue.</c>

00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:05.460
And<00:20:04.240><c> it</c><00:20:04.359><c> seems</c><00:20:04.519><c> to</c><00:20:04.619><c> be</c><00:20:04.720><c> a</c><00:20:04.740><c> question</c><00:20:04.960><c> of</c><00:20:05.160><c> timing</c>

00:20:05.460 --> 00:20:08.599
as<00:20:05.660><c> to</c><00:20:05.779><c> whether</c><00:20:05.900><c> this</c><00:20:06.160><c> is</c><00:20:06.559><c> a</c><00:20:06.980><c> miracle</c><00:20:07.420><c> or</c><00:20:07.700><c> not.</c>

00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:12.480
If<00:20:09.480><c> the</c><00:20:09.759><c> word</c><00:20:09.940><c> for</c><00:20:10.279><c> carcass</c><00:20:10.859><c> implies</c><00:20:11.319><c> a</c><00:20:11.539><c> rotting</c><00:20:11.960><c> corpse,</c>

00:20:12.980 --> 00:20:14.619
then<00:20:13.160><c> this</c><00:20:13.339><c> is</c><00:20:13.519><c> a</c><00:20:13.539><c> most</c><00:20:13.779><c> unusual</c><00:20:14.140><c> event.</c>

00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:19.319
Bees<00:20:15.440><c> wouldn't</c><00:20:15.720><c> normally</c><00:20:16.180><c> make</c><00:20:16.460><c> a</c><00:20:16.640><c> hive</c><00:20:16.839><c> inside</c><00:20:17.259><c> a</c><00:20:17.680><c> putrefying</c><00:20:18.359><c> carcass.</c>

00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:21.640
One<00:20:19.940><c> that,</c><00:20:20.180><c> I</c><00:20:20.339><c> don't</c><00:20:20.460><c> want</c><00:20:20.539><c> to</c><00:20:20.619><c> go</c><00:20:20.779><c> too</c><00:20:21.279><c> detailed.</c>

00:20:21.700 --> 00:20:23.059
You've<00:20:21.880><c> just</c><00:20:21.980><c> had</c><00:20:22.000><c> your</c><00:20:22.200><c> lunch</c><00:20:22.380><c> or</c><00:20:22.539><c> your</c><00:20:22.680><c> dinner,</c><00:20:23.059><c> rather.</c>

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.859

00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:33.059
And<00:20:30.920><c> that</c><00:20:31.099><c> would</c><00:20:31.200><c> have</c><00:20:31.279><c> been</c><00:20:31.400><c> unusual</c><00:20:31.779><c> for</c><00:20:31.980><c> bees</c><00:20:32.240><c> to</c><00:20:32.519><c> choose</c><00:20:32.759><c> that</c>

00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:50.759
You<00:20:49.180><c> know,</c><00:20:49.180><c> you've</c><00:20:49.339><c> got</c><00:20:49.440><c> a</c><00:20:49.519><c> sort</c><00:20:49.640><c> of</c><00:20:49.759><c> rib</c><00:20:49.900><c> cage</c><00:20:50.160><c> and</c><00:20:50.299><c> a</c><00:20:50.460><c> backbone,</c>

00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:00.079
Problem<00:20:57.920><c> is</c><00:20:58.140><c> that</c><00:20:58.279><c> scripture</c><00:20:58.559><c> uses</c><00:20:58.920><c> two</c><00:20:59.200><c> words</c><00:20:59.460><c> for</c><00:20:59.700><c> carcass,</c>

00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:06.319
And<00:21:03.019><c> so</c><00:21:03.440><c> you'll</c><00:21:04.099><c> notice</c><00:21:04.299><c> it</c><00:21:04.539><c> says</c><00:21:04.720><c> there,</c><00:21:05.119><c> verse</c><00:21:05.619><c> eight,</c>

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:08.880
he<00:21:06.880><c> turned</c><00:21:07.140><c> aside</c><00:21:07.400><c> to</c><00:21:07.539><c> see</c><00:21:07.700><c> the</c><00:21:07.980><c> carcass</c><00:21:08.319><c> of</c><00:21:08.500><c> the</c><00:21:08.680><c> lion.</c>

00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:09.759
That's<00:21:09.259><c> one</c><00:21:09.460><c> word.</c>

00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:11.980
And<00:21:10.460><c> behold,</c><00:21:10.740><c> there</c><00:21:10.859><c> was</c><00:21:11.039><c> a</c><00:21:11.160><c> swarm</c><00:21:11.259><c> of</c><00:21:11.460><c> bees</c><00:21:11.599><c> and</c><00:21:11.779><c> honey</c>

in<00:21:12.220><c> the</c><00:21:12.440><c> carcass</c><00:21:12.859><c> of</c><00:21:13.019><c> the</c><00:21:13.140><c> lion.</c>

00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:14.720
And<00:21:13.319><c> that's</c><00:21:13.559><c> a</c><00:21:13.740><c> different</c><00:21:13.920><c> word.</c>

00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:16.740
And<00:21:15.079><c> the</c><00:21:15.279><c> first</c><00:21:15.480><c> word</c><00:21:15.660><c> is</c><00:21:15.900><c> the</c><00:21:16.019><c> word</c><00:21:16.180><c> for</c><00:21:16.400><c> ruin.</c>

00:21:17.220 --> 00:21:19.799
So<00:21:17.400><c> he</c><00:21:17.579><c> turned</c><00:21:17.779><c> aside</c><00:21:18.180><c> to</c><00:21:18.420><c> see</c><00:21:18.559><c> the</c><00:21:18.799><c> ruin</c><00:21:19.039><c> of</c><00:21:19.299><c> the</c><00:21:19.480><c> lion.</c>

00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:22.859
But<00:21:20.500><c> then,</c><00:21:20.940><c> behold,</c><00:21:21.220><c> there</c><00:21:21.359><c> was</c><00:21:21.559><c> a</c><00:21:21.700><c> swarm</c><00:21:21.819><c> of</c><00:21:22.059><c> bees</c><00:21:22.240><c> and</c><00:21:22.539><c> honey</c>

00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:28.940
So<00:21:27.180><c> I'm</c><00:21:27.599><c> still</c><00:21:27.779><c> no</c><00:21:27.940><c> further</c><00:21:28.180><c> forward,</c><00:21:28.599><c> brothers</c><00:21:28.660><c> and</c><00:21:28.819><c> sisters.</c>

00:21:28.940 --> 00:21:30.339
And<00:21:29.240><c> I'll</c><00:21:29.420><c> leave</c><00:21:29.519><c> it</c><00:21:29.660><c> to</c><00:21:29.720><c> you</c><00:21:29.940><c> to</c><00:21:30.119><c> decide</c>

00:21:30.339 --> 00:21:32.259
whether<00:21:30.500><c> it's</c><00:21:30.759><c> unusual</c><00:21:31.099><c> or</c><00:21:31.380><c> not.</c>

00:21:32.460 --> 00:21:34.019
What<00:21:32.579><c> we</c><00:21:32.759><c> can</c><00:21:32.940><c> be</c><00:21:33.140><c> certain</c><00:21:33.319><c> of</c><00:21:33.579><c> is</c><00:21:33.839><c> that</c>

00:21:34.019 --> 00:21:36.400

00:21:39.900 --> 00:21:42.039
He<00:21:39.900><c> seems</c><00:21:40.119><c> to</c><00:21:40.259><c> be</c><00:21:40.420><c> a</c><00:21:40.740><c> wordsmith.</c>

00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:44.400
He's<00:21:43.119><c> a</c><00:21:43.559><c> clever</c><00:21:43.859><c> young</c><00:21:44.119><c> man,</c>

00:21:44.579 --> 00:21:49.640
and<00:21:44.599><c> he</c><00:21:45.319><c> spun</c><00:21:45.559><c> a</c><00:21:46.000><c> riddle</c><00:21:46.319><c> in</c><00:21:46.440><c> his</c><00:21:46.759><c> head</c><00:21:46.940><c> as</c><00:21:47.140><c> he</c><00:21:48.299><c> sort</c><00:21:48.920><c> of,</c>

00:21:50.940 --> 00:21:52.160
He<00:21:51.359><c> pondered</c><00:21:51.680><c> on</c><00:21:51.940><c> this.</c>

00:21:52.380 --> 00:21:54.000
In<00:21:52.579><c> fact,</c><00:21:52.839><c> the</c><00:21:53.279><c> phrase</c><00:21:53.480><c> that</c><00:21:53.660><c> scripture</c><00:21:53.779><c> uses,</c>

or<00:22:00.000><c> he</c><00:22:00.180><c> went</c><00:22:00.440><c> on</c><00:22:00.720><c> eating</c><00:22:00.960><c> as</c><00:22:01.200><c> he</c><00:22:01.339><c> went.</c>

00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:03.900
He<00:22:01.859><c> was</c><00:22:02.119><c> chewing</c><00:22:02.339><c> over</c><00:22:02.660><c> the</c><00:22:02.839><c> honeycomb</c><00:22:03.279><c> and</c><00:22:03.420><c> the</c><00:22:03.559><c> honey,</c>

00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:27.680
I<00:22:26.559><c> thought</c><00:22:26.680><c> there</c><00:22:26.779><c> were</c><00:22:26.900><c> two</c><00:22:27.079><c> types</c><00:22:27.339><c> of</c><00:22:27.539><c> bees,</c>

00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:30.339
ones<00:22:27.920><c> that</c><00:22:28.180><c> produced</c><00:22:28.400><c> honey</c><00:22:28.640><c> and</c><00:22:28.799><c> the</c><00:22:28.900><c> others</c><00:22:29.000><c> that</c><00:22:29.259><c> produced</c><00:22:29.460><c> syrup.</c>

00:22:30.380 --> 00:22:31.400
And<00:22:30.380><c> I</c><00:22:30.680><c> was</c><00:22:30.759><c> rather</c><00:22:30.920><c> disappointed.</c>

00:22:31.579 --> 00:22:32.539
In<00:22:31.599><c> fact,</c><00:22:31.700><c> that</c><00:22:31.779><c> wasn't</c><00:22:32.019><c> the</c><00:22:32.160><c> case.</c>

00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:36.140
But,<00:22:33.180><c> well,</c><00:22:35.400><c> there</c><00:22:35.599><c> we</c><00:22:35.779><c> have</c><00:22:35.900><c> it.</c>

00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:38.059
So<00:22:36.680><c> the</c><00:22:36.900><c> lion,</c><00:22:37.259><c> first</c><00:22:37.400><c> of</c><00:22:37.599><c> all.</c>

00:22:38.380 --> 00:22:39.700
We've<00:22:38.819><c> got</c><00:22:38.940><c> three</c><00:22:39.180><c> players,</c><00:22:39.599><c> haven't</c><00:22:39.619><c> we?</c>

00:22:39.700 --> 00:22:42.039
The<00:22:39.880><c> lion,</c><00:22:40.359><c> the</c><00:22:40.599><c> bees,</c><00:22:40.859><c> and</c><00:22:41.140><c> the</c><00:22:41.279><c> honey.</c>

00:22:42.140 --> 00:22:43.299
What<00:22:42.339><c> does</c><00:22:42.460><c> the</c><00:22:42.680><c> lion</c><00:22:42.839><c> represent?</c>

00:22:43.380 --> 00:22:45.859
Well,<00:22:43.619><c> I</c><00:22:43.940><c> suggest</c><00:22:44.140><c> to</c><00:22:44.220><c> you</c><00:22:44.279><c> it</c><00:22:44.440><c> represents</c><00:22:44.759><c> the</c><00:22:45.039><c> enemies</c><00:22:45.279><c> of</c><00:22:45.579><c> God.</c>

00:22:46.099 --> 00:22:47.640
In<00:22:46.420><c> this</c><00:22:46.680><c> case,</c><00:22:47.000><c> the</c><00:22:47.140><c> Philistines.</c>

00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:49.279
We're<00:22:48.440><c> familiar</c><00:22:48.759><c> with</c><00:22:48.880><c> that,</c><00:22:49.039><c> aren't</c><00:22:49.140><c> we?</c>

00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:51.480
When<00:22:49.460><c> we</c><00:22:49.599><c> think</c><00:22:49.740><c> about</c><00:22:50.000><c> Daniel's</c><00:22:50.539><c> dream,</c><00:22:50.799><c> for</c><00:22:51.079><c> example,</c>

00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:54.819
the<00:22:52.000><c> lion</c><00:22:52.220><c> was</c><00:22:52.420><c> there,</c><00:22:52.740><c> used</c><00:22:52.960><c> as</c><00:22:53.160><c> a</c><00:22:53.339><c> beast</c><00:22:53.559><c> to</c><00:22:53.839><c> describe</c><00:22:54.160><c> the</c><00:22:54.539><c> enemies</c>

00:22:54.819 --> 00:22:59.519
that<00:22:54.980><c> would</c><00:22:55.579><c> encompass</c><00:22:56.799><c> and,</c><00:22:58.460><c> excuse</c><00:22:59.380><c> me,</c>

00:22:59.619 --> 00:23:03.460
take<00:22:59.819><c> captive</c><00:23:00.140><c> the</c><00:23:00.299><c> nation</c><00:23:00.559><c> of</c><00:23:00.740><c> Israel</c><00:23:01.160><c> and</c><00:23:02.480><c> inhabit</c><00:23:02.859><c> the</c><00:23:03.119><c> land.</c>

00:23:03.779 --> 00:23:05.839
And<00:23:04.079><c> here,</c><00:23:04.279><c> then,</c><00:23:04.380><c> I</c><00:23:04.480><c> think</c><00:23:04.599><c> the</c><00:23:04.839><c> lion</c><00:23:04.960><c> is</c><00:23:05.119><c> used</c><00:23:05.319><c> in</c><00:23:05.539><c> that</c><00:23:05.700><c> way.</c>

00:23:05.859 --> 00:23:08.880
It's<00:23:06.079><c> used</c><00:23:06.160><c> to</c><00:23:06.420><c> describe</c><00:23:06.599><c> the</c><00:23:06.839><c> enemies</c><00:23:07.180><c> of</c><00:23:07.619><c> God's</c><00:23:08.039><c> people.</c>

00:23:09.380 --> 00:23:11.480
As<00:23:09.480><c> we</c><00:23:09.619><c> said,</c><00:23:09.740><c> there</c><00:23:09.859><c> are</c><00:23:09.940><c> two</c><00:23:10.140><c> different</c><00:23:10.359><c> words</c><00:23:10.579><c> for</c><00:23:10.839><c> carcass.</c>

00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.099
The<00:23:12.019><c> first</c><00:23:12.299><c> meaning</c><00:23:12.599><c> ruin,</c><00:23:13.180><c> the</c><00:23:13.380><c> second</c><00:23:13.660><c> meaning</c><00:23:14.059><c> corpse.</c>

00:23:16.259 --> 00:23:17.319
The<00:23:16.420><c> bees.</c>

00:23:17.700 --> 00:23:19.119
What<00:23:18.180><c> do</c><00:23:18.259><c> the</c><00:23:18.440><c> bees</c><00:23:18.680><c> represent?</c>

00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:21.960
Well,<00:23:19.500><c> the</c><00:23:19.619><c> word</c><00:23:19.839><c> for</c><00:23:20.160><c> swarm</c><00:23:20.539><c> there</c><00:23:20.859><c> is</c><00:23:21.079><c> interesting</c>

00:23:24.019 --> 00:23:26.740
because<00:23:24.539><c> it's</c><00:23:24.859><c> the</c><00:23:25.019><c> same</c><00:23:25.259><c> word</c><00:23:25.480><c> that's</c><00:23:25.740><c> used</c><00:23:25.900><c> for</c><00:23:26.200><c> congregation.</c>

00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:28.640
In<00:23:27.079><c> fact,</c><00:23:27.319><c> that's</c><00:23:27.720><c> its</c><00:23:27.920><c> main</c><00:23:28.140><c> use.</c>

00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:32.579
It's<00:23:29.480><c> mainly</c><00:23:29.720><c> used,</c><00:23:30.119><c> it's</c><00:23:30.240><c> mainly</c><00:23:30.440><c> translated</c><00:23:30.920><c> as</c><00:23:31.119><c> the</c><00:23:31.220><c> word</c><00:23:31.359><c> congregation.</c>

00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:35.380
So<00:23:32.940><c> this</c><00:23:33.079><c> was</c><00:23:33.240><c> a</c><00:23:33.420><c> congregation</c><00:23:33.880><c> of</c><00:23:34.160><c> bees,</c><00:23:34.799><c> a</c><00:23:35.079><c> swarm.</c>

00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:38.180
And<00:23:35.940><c> so</c><00:23:36.240><c> that</c><00:23:36.640><c> perhaps</c><00:23:37.000><c> represents</c><00:23:37.400><c> was</c><00:23:37.559><c> the</c><00:23:37.720><c> nation</c><00:23:37.980><c> of</c>

00:23:38.180 --> 00:23:39.220
Israel,<00:23:38.539><c> God's</c><00:23:38.920><c> people.</c>

00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:41.119
They<00:23:39.720><c> were</c><00:23:39.980><c> the</c><00:23:40.240><c> congregation,</c><00:23:40.839><c> weren't</c><00:23:40.940><c> they?</c>

00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:44.920
The<00:23:41.359><c> ecclesia</c><00:23:41.779><c> of</c><00:23:42.299><c> the</c><00:23:42.839><c> wilderness</c><00:23:43.259><c> and</c><00:23:43.900><c> then</c><00:23:44.380><c> subsequently</c>

00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:46.220
of<00:23:45.119><c> the</c><00:23:45.319><c> land.</c>

00:23:47.539 --> 00:23:48.880
And<00:23:47.799><c> finally,</c><00:23:48.019><c> then,</c><00:23:48.119><c> we</c><00:23:48.240><c> have</c><00:23:48.400><c> the</c><00:23:48.619><c> honey.</c>

00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:50.960
And<00:23:49.339><c> I'm</c><00:23:49.519><c> going</c><00:23:49.619><c> to</c><00:23:49.720><c> suggest</c><00:23:49.960><c> to</c><00:23:50.019><c> you</c><00:23:50.140><c> that</c><00:23:50.319><c> honey</c><00:23:50.500><c> represents</c>

00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:51.819
the<00:23:51.160><c> word</c><00:23:51.319><c> of</c><00:23:51.559><c> God.</c>

00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:55.519
And<00:23:52.160><c> we</c><00:23:52.319><c> have</c><00:23:52.980><c> chapters</c><00:23:53.440><c> or</c><00:23:53.799><c> passages</c><00:23:54.119><c> such</c><00:23:54.460><c> as</c><00:23:54.619><c> Psalm</c><00:23:54.740><c> 119.</c>

00:23:55.619 --> 00:23:57.720
How<00:23:55.660><c> sweet</c><00:23:56.119><c> are</c><00:23:56.259><c> thy</c><00:23:56.420><c> words</c><00:23:56.720><c> unto</c><00:23:56.940><c> my</c><00:23:57.279><c> taste.</c>

00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:00.859
Yea,<00:23:58.180><c> sweeter</c><00:23:58.500><c> than</c><00:23:58.759><c> honey</c><00:23:59.099><c> to</c><00:23:59.559><c> my</c><00:23:59.880><c> mouth.</c>

00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:03.480
Psalm<00:24:01.400><c> 19</c><00:24:01.880><c> is</c><00:24:02.079><c> another</c><00:24:02.400><c> interesting</c><00:24:03.140><c> one.</c>

00:24:03.900 --> 00:24:06.019
And<00:24:04.019><c> if</c><00:24:04.099><c> you</c><00:24:04.160><c> want</c><00:24:04.220><c> to</c><00:24:04.359><c> just</c><00:24:04.480><c> look</c><00:24:04.559><c> that</c><00:24:04.740><c> up</c><00:24:04.839><c> for</c><00:24:05.019><c> a</c><00:24:05.140><c> moment.</c>

00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:08.819
Again,<00:24:06.559><c> very</c><00:24:06.779><c> similar</c><00:24:07.019><c> words</c><00:24:07.220><c> to</c><00:24:07.380><c> Psalm</c><00:24:07.519><c> 119.</c>

00:24:09.700 --> 00:24:12.339
Psalm<00:24:09.880><c> 19</c><00:24:10.359><c> and</c><00:24:10.579><c> verse</c><00:24:11.119><c> 10.</c>

00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:15.839
The<00:24:13.400><c> judgments</c><00:24:13.799><c> of</c><00:24:14.000><c> the</c><00:24:14.160><c> Lord</c><00:24:14.339><c> are</c><00:24:14.599><c> true</c><00:24:14.839><c> and</c><00:24:15.079><c> righteous</c><00:24:15.359><c> altogether.</c>

00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.119
The<00:24:15.920><c> more</c><00:24:16.140><c> to</c><00:24:16.319><c> be</c><00:24:16.539><c> desired</c><00:24:16.759><c> are</c><00:24:16.980><c> they</c><00:24:17.099><c> than</c><00:24:17.299><c> gold,</c><00:24:17.680><c> yea,</c><00:24:17.920><c> than</c>

00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:18.940
much<00:24:18.359><c> fine</c><00:24:18.660><c> gold.</c>

00:24:19.220 --> 00:24:22.420
Sweeter<00:24:19.579><c> also</c><00:24:19.880><c> than</c><00:24:20.079><c> honey</c><00:24:20.420><c> and</c><00:24:20.880><c> the</c><00:24:21.140><c> honeycomb.</c>

00:24:22.619 --> 00:24:25.299
Moreover,<00:24:23.140><c> by</c><00:24:23.420><c> them</c><00:24:23.619><c> is</c><00:24:23.880><c> thy</c><00:24:24.119><c> servant</c><00:24:24.559><c> warned.</c>

00:24:25.660 --> 00:24:28.200
And<00:24:25.960><c> in</c><00:24:26.220><c> keeping</c><00:24:26.460><c> of</c><00:24:26.700><c> them</c><00:24:26.920><c> there</c><00:24:27.160><c> is</c><00:24:27.339><c> great</c><00:24:27.619><c> reward.</c>

00:24:28.539 --> 00:24:30.519
And<00:24:28.759><c> David</c><00:24:29.039><c> perhaps</c><00:24:29.480><c> had</c><00:24:29.700><c> Samson</c><00:24:30.059><c> in</c><00:24:30.339><c> mind.</c>

00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.140
Interestingly,<00:24:31.359><c> he</c><00:24:31.859><c> talks</c><00:24:32.220><c> about</c><00:24:32.660><c> in</c><00:24:32.960><c> the</c><00:24:33.160><c> earlier</c><00:24:33.599><c> part</c><00:24:33.900><c> of</c>

00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:35.599

00:24:35.619 --> 00:24:38.500
as<00:24:35.779><c> a</c><00:24:36.019><c> bridegroom</c><00:24:36.579><c> which</c><00:24:36.779><c> comes</c><00:24:37.019><c> out</c><00:24:37.279><c> of</c><00:24:37.400><c> his</c><00:24:37.640><c> chamber.</c>

00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:42.059
Rejoices<00:24:39.599><c> a</c><00:24:40.059><c> strong</c><00:24:40.299><c> man</c><00:24:40.720><c> to</c><00:24:41.099><c> run</c><00:24:41.279><c> his</c><00:24:41.680><c> course.</c>

00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:44.720
Well,<00:24:42.599><c> that</c><00:24:42.740><c> would</c><00:24:42.900><c> certainly</c><00:24:43.180><c> apply,</c><00:24:43.599><c> wouldn't</c><00:24:43.599><c> it,</c><00:24:43.720><c> to</c><00:24:43.900><c> Samson</c><00:24:44.339><c> in</c>

00:24:45.740 --> 00:24:48.039
Again,<00:24:46.400><c> I'll</c><00:24:46.559><c> leave</c><00:24:46.720><c> that</c><00:24:46.940><c> with</c><00:24:47.140><c> you.</c>

00:24:48.900 --> 00:24:49.900
But<00:24:49.079><c> there</c><00:24:49.279><c> you</c><00:24:49.420><c> have</c><00:24:49.579><c> it</c><00:24:49.700><c> then.</c>

00:24:49.900 --> 00:24:52.539
There<00:24:50.140><c> is,</c><00:24:50.380><c> I</c><00:24:50.539><c> think,</c><00:24:50.900><c> the</c><00:24:51.000><c> basis</c><00:24:51.359><c> of</c><00:24:51.779><c> this</c><00:24:52.059><c> parable</c>

00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:00.500
And<00:24:57.019><c> he</c><00:24:57.259><c> sees</c><00:24:57.500><c> that</c><00:24:57.859><c> in</c><00:24:58.180><c> the</c><00:24:58.759><c> sort</c><00:24:58.920><c> of</c><00:24:59.119><c> natural</c><00:24:59.460><c> event</c><00:24:59.980><c> that</c><00:25:00.339><c> he</c>

has<00:25:00.660><c> witnessed.</c>

00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:06.500
The<00:25:02.740><c> destruction,</c><00:25:03.539><c> the</c><00:25:03.819><c> ruin</c><00:25:04.220><c> of</c><00:25:04.579><c> the</c><00:25:04.819><c> Philistines,</c><00:25:05.380><c> portrayed</c><00:25:05.740><c> by</c><00:25:05.980><c> the</c><00:25:06.200><c> lion,</c>

00:25:11.539 --> 00:25:13.700
The<00:25:11.720><c> bees</c><00:25:11.960><c> took</c><00:25:12.180><c> over</c><00:25:12.440><c> the</c><00:25:12.700><c> carcass</c><00:25:13.079><c> of</c><00:25:13.240><c> the</c><00:25:13.400><c> lion.</c>

00:25:13.700 --> 00:25:16.400
The<00:25:14.119><c> death</c><00:25:14.359><c> of</c><00:25:14.559><c> the</c><00:25:14.720><c> lion,</c><00:25:14.859><c> the</c><00:25:14.920><c> death</c><00:25:15.059><c> of</c><00:25:15.240><c> the</c><00:25:15.400><c> enemy,</c><00:25:16.000><c> allowed</c><00:25:16.099><c> Israel</c>

00:25:16.819 --> 00:25:18.619
what<00:25:17.039><c> should</c><00:25:17.240><c> have</c><00:25:17.440><c> been</c><00:25:17.619><c> theirs.</c>

00:25:19.140 --> 00:25:22.039
And<00:25:19.339><c> so</c><00:25:19.700><c> then</c><00:25:20.099><c> they</c><00:25:20.519><c> would</c><00:25:20.779><c> bring</c><00:25:20.980><c> forth</c><00:25:21.240><c> the</c><00:25:21.420><c> word</c><00:25:21.539><c> of</c><00:25:21.759><c> God,</c>

00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:26.200
That,<00:25:24.359><c> it</c><00:25:24.359><c> seems</c><00:25:24.519><c> to</c><00:25:24.680><c> me,</c><00:25:24.819><c> is</c><00:25:25.019><c> the</c><00:25:25.380><c> answer,</c><00:25:25.940><c> isn't</c><00:25:26.119><c> it?</c>

00:25:26.220 --> 00:25:29.960
That's<00:25:26.579><c> the</c><00:25:27.480><c> clue</c><00:25:27.740><c> to</c><00:25:28.720><c> this</c><00:25:29.019><c> parable.</c>

00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:32.500
And<00:25:31.200><c> it's</c><00:25:31.559><c> a</c><00:25:31.819><c> parable,</c><00:25:32.000><c> isn't</c><00:25:32.140><c> it,</c><00:25:32.200><c> brothers</c><00:25:32.319><c> and</c><00:25:32.420><c> sisters,</c>

00:25:32.539 --> 00:25:35.259
which<00:25:32.720><c> translates</c><00:25:33.039><c> across</c><00:25:33.440><c> to</c><00:25:33.819><c> our</c><00:25:34.000><c> day,</c><00:25:34.140><c> to</c><00:25:34.279><c> the</c><00:25:34.420><c> 21st</c><00:25:34.880><c> century.</c>

00:25:35.740 --> 00:25:37.599
The<00:25:35.940><c> enemies</c><00:25:36.180><c> of</c><00:25:36.400><c> God</c><00:25:36.559><c> are</c><00:25:37.000><c> still</c><00:25:37.259><c> with</c><00:25:37.460><c> us.</c>

00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:39.359
Sin<00:25:37.779><c> is</c><00:25:37.980><c> ever</c><00:25:38.319><c>-present.</c>

00:25:39.579 --> 00:25:44.019
And<00:25:39.980><c> yet,</c><00:25:40.440><c> if</c><00:25:40.559><c> we</c><00:25:40.720><c> are</c><00:25:40.859><c> able</c><00:25:41.059><c> to</c><00:25:41.519><c> conquer</c><00:25:41.960><c> that</c><00:25:42.339><c> as</c><00:25:42.660><c> individuals</c><00:25:43.119><c> and</c><00:25:43.319><c> as</c><00:25:43.460><c> an</c><00:25:43.599><c> ecclesia,</c>

00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:46.779
then<00:25:44.579><c> we</c><00:25:44.859><c> too</c><00:25:44.980><c> will</c><00:25:45.140><c> be</c><00:25:45.259><c> able</c><00:25:45.420><c> to</c><00:25:45.859><c> produce</c><00:25:46.180><c> the</c><00:25:46.380><c> word</c><00:25:46.500><c> of</c><00:25:46.700><c> God</c>

00:25:47.940 --> 00:25:50.519
And<00:25:48.079><c> so</c><00:25:48.140><c> if</c><00:25:48.240><c> we</c><00:25:48.319><c> think</c><00:25:48.460><c> about</c><00:25:48.680><c> the</c><00:25:48.819><c> lion</c><00:25:48.920><c> in</c><00:25:49.099><c> the</c><00:25:49.259><c> wider</c><00:25:49.539><c> context</c><00:25:50.160><c> of</c>

being<00:25:50.740><c> representing</c><00:25:51.420><c> sin,</c>

00:25:52.299 --> 00:25:53.720
we<00:25:52.460><c> are</c><00:25:52.660><c> the</c><00:25:52.880><c> congregation,</c><00:25:53.500><c> aren't</c><00:25:53.619><c> we?</c>

00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:55.140
We<00:25:53.859><c> are</c><00:25:54.000><c> the</c><00:25:54.140><c> ecclesia</c><00:25:54.440><c> of</c><00:25:54.619><c> Christ.</c>

00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:58.640
And<00:25:55.619><c> it</c><00:25:55.759><c> is</c><00:25:55.880><c> for</c><00:25:56.059><c> us</c><00:25:56.220><c> to</c><00:25:56.460><c> produce</c><00:25:56.779><c> that</c><00:25:57.019><c> honey,</c><00:25:57.220><c> that</c><00:25:57.440><c> word</c><00:25:57.619><c> of</c><00:25:57.880><c> God.</c>

00:25:58.900 --> 00:26:01.039
And<00:25:59.240><c> there</c><00:25:59.519><c> are</c><00:25:59.579><c> a</c><00:25:59.640><c> couple</c><00:25:59.759><c> of</c><00:25:59.900><c> verses</c><00:26:00.099><c> which</c><00:26:00.299><c> seems</c><00:26:00.480><c> to</c><00:26:00.740><c> perhaps</c>

00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:03.200

00:26:03.539 --> 00:26:06.579
The<00:26:03.759><c> adversary</c><00:26:04.220><c> goeth</c><00:26:04.579><c> about</c><00:26:04.759><c> like</c><00:26:04.980><c> a</c><00:26:05.160><c> roaring</c><00:26:05.480><c> lion,</c><00:26:06.140><c> says</c><00:26:06.200><c> Peter,</c>

00:26:08.460 --> 00:26:11.460
He<00:26:08.839><c> calls</c><00:26:09.019><c> him,</c><00:26:09.140><c> doesn't</c><00:26:09.299><c> he,</c><00:26:09.359><c> the</c><00:26:09.559><c> devil,</c><00:26:10.500><c> sin.</c>

00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:14.460
And<00:26:12.319><c> Paul</c><00:26:12.500><c> says</c><00:26:12.680><c> in</c><00:26:12.839><c> Corinthians,</c><00:26:13.380><c> O</c><00:26:13.380><c> death,</c><00:26:13.720><c> or</c><00:26:13.799><c> is</c><00:26:13.940><c> thy</c><00:26:14.160><c> sting?</c>

00:26:14.539 --> 00:26:17.000
And<00:26:14.619><c> it's</c><00:26:14.880><c> the</c><00:26:15.460><c> word</c><00:26:15.640><c> for</c><00:26:15.839><c> be</c><00:26:16.180><c> sting,</c><00:26:16.660><c> interestingly.</c>

The<00:26:17.640><c> sting</c><00:26:17.779><c> of</c><00:26:17.940><c> death</c><00:26:18.140><c> is</c><00:26:18.380><c> sin.</c>

00:26:18.700 --> 00:26:20.640
The<00:26:18.880><c> strength</c><00:26:19.079><c> of</c><00:26:19.299><c> sin</c><00:26:19.380><c> is</c><00:26:19.579><c> the</c><00:26:19.819><c> law.</c>

00:26:24.819 --> 00:26:27.099
And<00:26:24.859><c> the</c><00:26:25.339><c> riddle</c><00:26:25.539><c> was</c><00:26:25.740><c> out</c><00:26:25.940><c> of</c><00:26:26.099><c> the</c><00:26:26.420><c> strong,</c><00:26:26.619><c> wasn't</c><00:26:26.759><c> it?</c>

00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:29.079
Would<00:26:27.380><c> come</c><00:26:27.660><c> forth</c><00:26:28.019><c> sweetness.</c>

00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:32.579
And<00:26:29.599><c> so</c><00:26:29.920><c> as</c><00:26:30.039><c> we</c><00:26:30.220><c> said</c><00:26:30.339><c> then,</c><00:26:31.220><c> out</c><00:26:31.400><c> of</c><00:26:31.559><c> the</c><00:26:31.759><c> conquering</c><00:26:32.059><c> of</c><00:26:32.380><c> sin</c>

00:26:36.059 --> 00:26:39.039
It's<00:26:36.720><c> the</c><00:26:36.799><c> word</c><00:26:37.000><c> made</c><00:26:37.259><c> flesh,</c><00:26:37.539><c> isn't</c><00:26:37.740><c> it,</c><00:26:37.839><c> who's</c><00:26:38.180><c> made</c><00:26:38.380><c> that</c><00:26:38.599><c> possible.</c>

00:26:39.460 --> 00:26:42.799
He<00:26:39.700><c> has</c><00:26:39.960><c> vanquished</c><00:26:40.559><c> death,</c><00:26:41.180><c> or</c><00:26:41.359><c> he</c><00:26:41.539><c> will,</c><00:26:41.940><c> at</c><00:26:42.160><c> his</c><00:26:42.359><c> return.</c>

00:26:42.980 --> 00:26:47.160
And<00:26:43.200><c> out</c><00:26:43.339><c> of</c><00:26:43.519><c> that</c><00:26:43.740><c> then</c><00:26:44.059><c> comes</c><00:26:44.359><c> the</c><00:26:44.920><c> sweetness,</c><00:26:45.279><c> the</c><00:26:45.519><c> immortality</c><00:26:46.259><c> for</c><00:26:46.660><c> those</c><00:26:46.980><c> who</c>

00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:48.900
are<00:26:47.480><c> in</c><00:26:47.880><c> Christ.</c>

00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:50.779
And<00:26:49.480><c> that's</c><00:26:49.799><c> a</c><00:26:50.079><c> wonderful</c><00:26:50.359><c> thing,</c><00:26:50.599><c> isn't</c><00:26:50.700><c> it?</c>

00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:52.440
And<00:26:50.940><c> as</c><00:26:51.039><c> we</c><00:26:51.180><c> said,</c><00:26:51.539><c> Samson</c><00:26:51.799><c> chewed</c><00:26:52.180><c> on</c><00:26:52.279><c> it.</c>

00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:54.220
He<00:26:52.940><c> cogitated</c><00:26:53.460><c> on</c><00:26:53.660><c> it.</c>

00:26:54.539 --> 00:26:56.559
And<00:26:54.980><c> it</c><00:26:55.299><c> impressed</c><00:26:55.720><c> him.</c>

00:26:57.220 --> 00:26:59.019
And<00:26:57.440><c> so</c><00:26:57.559><c> he</c><00:26:57.700><c> makes</c><00:26:57.900><c> up</c><00:26:58.079><c> this</c><00:26:58.259><c> riddle,</c><00:26:58.480><c> doesn't</c><00:26:58.619><c> he,</c><00:26:58.720><c> when</c><00:26:58.859><c> he</c>

00:26:59.019 --> 00:27:02.279
gets<00:26:59.339><c> to</c><00:27:00.500><c> the</c><00:27:01.400><c> feast.</c>

00:27:03.099 --> 00:27:05.940
And<00:27:03.539><c> that's</c><00:27:03.980><c> not,</c><00:27:04.140><c> I</c><00:27:04.200><c> don't</c><00:27:04.460><c> think,</c><00:27:04.839><c> a</c><00:27:05.059><c> joke,</c><00:27:05.339><c> is</c><00:27:05.539><c> it?</c>

00:27:06.059 --> 00:27:10.680
Some<00:27:06.480><c> again</c><00:27:06.920><c> have</c><00:27:07.799><c> poured</c><00:27:07.980><c> scorn</c><00:27:08.380><c> suggesting</c><00:27:08.779><c> that</c><00:27:09.079><c> Samson</c><00:27:09.380><c> turned</c><00:27:09.720><c> scripture</c><00:27:10.099><c> into</c><00:27:10.299><c> a</c><00:27:10.519><c> joke.</c>

00:27:11.019 --> 00:27:12.599
And<00:27:11.099><c> yet</c><00:27:11.180><c> that's</c><00:27:11.460><c> not</c><00:27:11.720><c> the</c><00:27:12.059><c> word,</c><00:27:12.400><c> is</c><00:27:12.500><c> it?</c>

00:27:12.779 --> 00:27:13.680
This<00:27:13.019><c> is</c><00:27:13.220><c> a</c><00:27:13.380><c> proverb.</c>

00:27:13.980 --> 00:27:15.440
That's<00:27:14.200><c> what</c><00:27:14.339><c> the</c><00:27:14.519><c> word</c><00:27:14.660><c> riddle</c><00:27:14.940><c> means.</c>

00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.839
It's<00:27:16.079><c> a</c><00:27:16.220><c> parable</c><00:27:16.619><c> to</c><00:27:17.119><c> the</c><00:27:17.319><c> Philistines</c><00:27:17.720><c> against</c><00:27:18.079><c> themselves.</c>

00:27:19.059 --> 00:27:21.359
And<00:27:19.299><c> we</c><00:27:19.460><c> have</c><00:27:19.599><c> no</c><00:27:19.759><c> problem,</c><00:27:20.079><c> do</c><00:27:20.140><c> we,</c><00:27:20.220><c> when</c><00:27:20.339><c> the</c><00:27:20.559><c> Lord</c><00:27:20.759><c> himself</c>

00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:23.160
did<00:27:21.599><c> such</c><00:27:21.880><c> with</c><00:27:22.079><c> the</c><00:27:22.279><c> Pharisees.</c>

00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:25.420
And<00:27:23.279><c> the</c><00:27:23.420><c> parable</c><00:27:23.680><c> of</c><00:27:23.839><c> the</c><00:27:24.000><c> vineyard</c><00:27:24.359><c> and</c><00:27:24.660><c> how</c><00:27:24.900><c> angry</c><00:27:25.180><c> the</c>

00:27:25.420 --> 00:27:25.960
Pharisees<00:27:25.819><c> were</c>

00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:29.180
when<00:27:26.140><c> they</c><00:27:26.660><c> figured</c><00:27:26.900><c> out</c><00:27:27.180><c> that</c><00:27:27.359><c> it</c><00:27:27.839><c> was</c><00:27:28.000><c> a</c><00:27:28.119><c> story</c><00:27:28.440><c> about</c><00:27:28.779><c> them.</c>

00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.319
We<00:27:29.720><c> have</c><00:27:29.880><c> no</c><00:27:30.119><c> problem</c><00:27:30.339><c> with</c><00:27:30.519><c> the</c><00:27:30.720><c> Lord's</c><00:27:31.400><c> parables</c><00:27:31.759><c> and</c><00:27:32.019><c> riddles.</c>

00:27:32.339 --> 00:27:36.119
So<00:27:32.660><c> I</c><00:27:32.880><c> don't</c><00:27:33.099><c> think</c><00:27:33.220><c> we</c><00:27:33.400><c> should</c><00:27:33.500><c> be</c><00:27:33.700><c> troubled</c><00:27:34.019><c> too</c><00:27:34.440><c> much</c><00:27:34.599><c> by</c><00:27:34.900><c> Samson's.</c>

00:27:36.819 --> 00:27:37.720
Well,<00:27:37.220><c> verse</c><00:27:37.480><c> 10.</c>

00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:40.400
Then<00:27:38.000><c> Samson</c><00:27:38.339><c> and</c><00:27:38.519><c> his</c><00:27:38.740><c> father</c><00:27:39.000><c> went</c><00:27:39.279><c> down.</c>

00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:42.859
There's<00:27:40.960><c> much,</c><00:27:41.279><c> as</c><00:27:41.500><c> we've</c><00:27:41.700><c> said,</c><00:27:41.920><c> journeying</c><00:27:42.259><c> to</c><00:27:42.500><c> Timnar.</c>

00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:45.200
And<00:27:43.099><c> it's</c><00:27:43.559><c> that</c><00:27:43.740><c> that</c><00:27:43.900><c> seems</c><00:27:44.079><c> to</c><00:27:44.180><c> be</c><00:27:44.279><c> the</c><00:27:44.480><c> structure</c><00:27:44.680><c> of</c><00:27:44.839><c> this</c><00:27:44.980><c> chapter.</c>

00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:47.420
So<00:27:45.440><c> here,</c><00:27:46.099><c> Samson</c><00:27:46.279><c> and</c><00:27:46.400><c> his</c><00:27:46.660><c> father</c><00:27:46.859><c> went</c><00:27:47.099><c> down.</c>

00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:50.240
And<00:27:47.799><c> again,</c><00:27:48.119><c> some</c><00:27:48.299><c> would</c><00:27:48.500><c> like</c><00:27:48.640><c> to</c><00:27:48.839><c> make</c><00:27:48.960><c> more</c><00:27:49.220><c> of</c><00:27:49.400><c> that</c><00:27:49.619><c> than</c>

00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:51.259
seems<00:27:50.480><c> to</c><00:27:50.660><c> be</c><00:27:50.819><c> justified.</c>

00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:54.279
They<00:27:51.740><c> say,</c><00:27:51.859><c> oh,</c><00:27:52.240><c> well,</c><00:27:52.779><c> Samson's</c><00:27:53.140><c> mother</c><00:27:53.319><c> isn't</c><00:27:53.559><c> there</c><00:27:53.779><c> this</c><00:27:54.019><c> time.</c>

00:27:54.779 --> 00:27:56.940
And<00:27:54.819><c> perhaps</c><00:27:55.400><c> she</c><00:27:56.279><c> disapproved.</c>

00:27:56.940 --> 00:27:57.759
She<00:27:57.180><c> stayed</c><00:27:57.420><c> away.</c>

00:27:57.779 --> 00:27:59.740
Well,<00:27:58.240><c> it</c><00:27:58.359><c> doesn't</c><00:27:58.559><c> say</c><00:27:58.799><c> that</c><00:27:58.940><c> in</c><00:27:59.079><c> the</c><00:27:59.240><c> record,</c><00:27:59.519><c> does</c><00:27:59.619><c> it?</c>

00:27:59.740 --> 00:28:01.460
That's<00:28:00.140><c> pure</c><00:28:00.339><c> speculation.</c>

00:28:02.180 --> 00:28:04.779
What<00:28:02.319><c> it</c><00:28:02.539><c> does</c><00:28:02.740><c> say,</c><00:28:03.119><c> interestingly,</c><00:28:03.579><c> was</c><00:28:03.779><c> that</c><00:28:04.220><c> this</c><00:28:04.500><c> was</c><00:28:04.660><c> a</c>

00:28:04.779 --> 00:28:05.700
young<00:28:04.920><c> man's</c><00:28:05.400><c> feast.</c>

00:28:06.059 --> 00:28:08.119
I<00:28:06.319><c> think</c><00:28:06.500><c> it</c><00:28:06.579><c> was</c><00:28:06.759><c> quite</c><00:28:06.960><c> appropriate</c><00:28:07.400><c> for</c><00:28:07.640><c> Samson's</c><00:28:07.960><c> mother</c>

00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:08.900
not<00:28:08.420><c> to</c><00:28:08.579><c> be</c><00:28:08.740><c> there.</c>

00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:11.480
This<00:28:09.039><c> would</c><00:28:09.220><c> be</c><00:28:09.500><c> the</c><00:28:09.720><c> sort</c><00:28:09.839><c> of</c><00:28:10.160><c> elongated</c><00:28:10.740><c> equivalent</c><00:28:11.099><c> of</c><00:28:11.299><c> the</c>

00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.160
modern<00:28:11.660><c> day</c><00:28:12.180><c> bachelor</c><00:28:12.779><c> party</c><00:28:13.200><c> or</c><00:28:13.859><c> the</c><00:28:14.119><c> stag</c><00:28:14.440><c> do.</c>

00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:19.299
And<00:28:15.819><c> it</c><00:28:15.880><c> was</c><00:28:16.059><c> quite</c><00:28:16.299><c> fitting</c><00:28:16.519><c> then</c><00:28:16.799><c> that</c><00:28:16.960><c> only</c><00:28:17.200><c> Samson</c><00:28:17.519><c> and</c><00:28:17.660><c> his</c><00:28:17.859><c> father</c><00:28:18.220><c> should</c><00:28:18.599><c> be</c><00:28:18.880><c> present.</c>

00:28:19.619 --> 00:28:22.420
It<00:28:19.940><c> says</c><00:28:20.140><c> that</c><00:28:20.299><c> he</c><00:28:20.400><c> made</c><00:28:20.599><c> a</c><00:28:20.819><c> feast</c><00:28:20.940><c> for</c><00:28:21.240><c> so</c><00:28:21.440><c> use</c><00:28:21.619><c> the</c><00:28:21.819><c> young</c><00:28:22.059><c> men</c>

00:28:22.420 --> 00:28:22.759
to<00:28:22.640><c> do.</c>

00:28:22.980 --> 00:28:25.920
I<00:28:23.200><c> think</c><00:28:23.400><c> Samson's</c><00:28:23.859><c> mother</c><00:28:24.099><c> is</c><00:28:24.519><c> omitted</c><00:28:24.799><c> from</c><00:28:25.079><c> that</c><00:28:25.480><c> because</c>

00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:27.400
of<00:28:26.200><c> that</c><00:28:26.559><c> reason.</c>

00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:30.420
What<00:28:27.900><c> is</c><00:28:28.180><c> strange,</c><00:28:28.519><c> though,</c><00:28:28.640><c> is</c><00:28:28.779><c> the</c><00:28:28.920><c> fact</c><00:28:29.039><c> that</c><00:28:29.259><c> Samson</c><00:28:29.579><c> turns</c><00:28:29.819><c> up</c><00:28:30.099><c> alone.</c>

00:28:30.420 --> 00:28:34.500
He<00:28:30.980><c> doesn't</c><00:28:31.460><c> bring</c><00:28:31.720><c> any</c><00:28:32.119><c> of</c><00:28:32.339><c> his</c><00:28:32.579><c> friends</c><00:28:33.059><c> to</c><00:28:33.519><c> his</c><00:28:34.059><c> bachelor</c>

00:28:34.500 --> 00:28:37.559
party,<00:28:35.299><c> to</c><00:28:35.519><c> his</c><00:28:36.480><c> feast.</c>

00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:39.640
That's<00:28:38.599><c> really</c><00:28:38.740><c> the</c><00:28:38.920><c> force</c><00:28:39.079><c> of</c><00:28:39.240><c> verse</c><00:28:39.380><c> 11.</c>

00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:44.420
It<00:28:39.920><c> came</c><00:28:40.160><c> to</c><00:28:40.339><c> pass</c><00:28:40.460><c> when</c><00:28:40.619><c> they</c><00:28:40.859><c> saw</c><00:28:41.099><c> him</c><00:28:41.779><c> alone</c><00:28:42.500><c> that</c><00:28:43.359><c> they</c><00:28:43.779><c> brought</c><00:28:44.079><c> 30</c>

00:28:44.420 --> 00:28:45.460
companions<00:28:44.799><c> to</c><00:28:44.940><c> be</c><00:28:45.039><c> with</c><00:28:45.160><c> him.</c>

00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:47.400
So<00:28:46.039><c> even</c><00:28:46.200><c> the</c><00:28:46.359><c> Philistines</c><00:28:46.640><c> are</c><00:28:46.740><c> a</c><00:28:46.740><c> little</c><00:28:46.920><c> bit</c><00:28:47.099><c> surprised.</c>

00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:50.019
He's<00:28:47.640><c> turned</c><00:28:47.759><c> up</c><00:28:47.920><c> to</c><00:28:48.019><c> his</c><00:28:48.140><c> own</c><00:28:48.380><c> wedding</c><00:28:48.700><c> feast</c><00:28:49.000><c> or</c><00:28:49.359><c> his</c><00:28:49.539><c> own</c>

00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:51.799
feast<00:28:50.220><c> just</c><00:28:50.440><c> before</c><00:28:50.819><c> the</c><00:28:51.079><c> wedding</c><00:28:51.380><c> service.</c>

00:28:51.940 --> 00:28:53.180
And<00:28:52.220><c> he's</c><00:28:52.539><c> on</c><00:28:52.680><c> his</c><00:28:52.880><c> own.</c>

00:28:53.500 --> 00:28:54.500
And<00:28:53.660><c> so</c><00:28:53.779><c> they</c><00:28:53.900><c> have</c><00:28:54.079><c> to</c><00:28:54.299><c> find.</c>

00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:55.859
They<00:28:54.680><c> sort</c><00:28:54.759><c> of</c><00:28:54.839><c> rush</c><00:28:54.980><c> around</c><00:28:55.220><c> to</c><00:28:55.680><c> grab.</c>

00:28:55.900 --> 00:28:56.859
It<00:28:55.960><c> was</c><00:28:56.039><c> a</c><00:28:56.140><c> bit</c><00:28:56.160><c> like</c><00:28:56.279><c> rent</c><00:28:56.539><c>-a</c><00:28:56.680><c>-mob.</c>

00:28:57.019 --> 00:29:00.019
They<00:28:57.240><c> sort</c><00:28:57.380><c> of</c><00:28:57.480><c> found</c><00:28:57.599><c> 30</c><00:28:58.319><c> companions</c><00:28:58.799><c> to</c><00:28:59.299><c> be</c><00:28:59.539><c> with</c><00:28:59.759><c> him.</c>

00:29:00.019 --> 00:29:01.900
That's<00:29:00.559><c> the</c><00:29:00.980><c> idea,</c><00:29:01.380><c> isn't</c><00:29:01.500><c> it?</c>

00:29:02.299 --> 00:29:03.880
And<00:29:02.380><c> so</c><00:29:02.559><c> again,</c><00:29:02.799><c> Bronson,</c><00:29:03.079><c> I</c><00:29:03.099><c> put</c><00:29:03.259><c> it</c><00:29:03.359><c> to</c><00:29:03.400><c> you</c><00:29:03.500><c> that</c><00:29:03.559><c> this</c><00:29:03.720><c> is</c>

00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:04.960
part<00:29:04.000><c> of</c><00:29:04.140><c> the</c><00:29:04.240><c> secret</c><00:29:04.559><c> plan.</c>

00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:06.700
It<00:29:05.500><c> looks</c><00:29:05.900><c> like</c><00:29:06.220><c> a</c><00:29:06.400><c> wedding.</c>

00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:10.740
It<00:29:07.059><c> has</c><00:29:07.319><c> the</c><00:29:07.599><c> hallmarks</c><00:29:08.200><c> of</c><00:29:08.619><c> a</c><00:29:08.839><c> marriage,</c><00:29:09.839><c> but</c><00:29:10.359><c> it's</c><00:29:10.519><c> not</c>

00:29:10.740 --> 00:29:11.259
quite<00:29:11.000><c> there.</c>

00:29:11.380 --> 00:29:12.339
Something<00:29:11.559><c> isn't</c><00:29:11.779><c> quite</c><00:29:12.099><c> right.</c>

00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:14.759
You<00:29:12.539><c> maybe</c><00:29:12.720><c> can't</c><00:29:12.880><c> quite</c><00:29:13.039><c> put</c><00:29:13.200><c> your</c><00:29:13.380><c> finger</c><00:29:13.559><c> on</c><00:29:13.720><c> it,</c><00:29:14.180><c> but</c>

00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:16.099
something's<00:29:15.220><c> missing.</c>

00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:19.740
Well,<00:29:18.019><c> Samson</c><00:29:18.339><c> holds</c><00:29:18.640><c> his</c><00:29:18.980><c> feast.</c>

00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:22.140
And<00:29:19.839><c> again,</c><00:29:20.480><c> much</c><00:29:20.660><c> is</c><00:29:20.859><c> made</c><00:29:21.019><c> of</c><00:29:21.180><c> the</c><00:29:21.339><c> fact</c><00:29:21.460><c> that</c><00:29:21.640><c> the</c><00:29:21.799><c> word</c><00:29:21.900><c> is</c>

00:29:22.140 --> 00:29:23.880
used<00:29:22.259><c> as</c><00:29:22.440><c> a</c><00:29:22.640><c> drinking</c><00:29:23.000><c> feast.</c>

00:29:24.220 --> 00:29:26.440
And<00:29:24.440><c> again,</c><00:29:24.700><c> people</c><00:29:24.900><c> say,</c><00:29:25.319><c> well,</c><00:29:25.480><c> there's</c><00:29:25.819><c> the</c><00:29:25.980><c> next</c><00:29:26.240><c> vow</c>

00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:27.279
broken<00:29:26.920><c> then.</c>

00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:30.759
Well,<00:29:27.980><c> again,</c><00:29:28.740><c> let's</c><00:29:28.940><c> just</c><00:29:29.700><c> see</c><00:29:29.819><c> the</c><00:29:30.019><c> evidence</c><00:29:30.240><c> of</c><00:29:30.500><c> scripture</c>

00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:31.900
for<00:29:30.980><c> that.</c>

00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:35.279
The<00:29:32.299><c> same</c><00:29:32.519><c> word</c><00:29:32.720><c> is</c><00:29:32.960><c> used</c><00:29:33.059><c> to</c><00:29:33.319><c> describe</c><00:29:33.539><c> Abraham's</c><00:29:34.240><c> celebrations.</c>

00:29:35.299 --> 00:29:38.480
Abraham<00:29:35.640><c> made</c><00:29:35.880><c> a</c><00:29:36.119><c> great</c><00:29:36.339><c> feast</c><00:29:36.740><c> on</c><00:29:37.220><c> the</c><00:29:37.339><c> day</c><00:29:37.480><c> that</c><00:29:37.720><c> Isaac</c><00:29:37.940><c> was</c><00:29:38.240><c> weaned.</c>

00:29:38.500 --> 00:29:41.599
And<00:29:38.619><c> we</c><00:29:38.740><c> have</c><00:29:39.319><c> no</c><00:29:39.559><c> problem,</c><00:29:39.880><c> do</c><00:29:39.980><c> we,</c><00:29:40.400><c> with</c><00:29:40.640><c> Abraham's</c><00:29:41.220><c> party</c>

00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:42.680
and<00:29:42.059><c> celebration</c>

00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:56.500
David<00:29:49.380><c> partook</c><00:29:49.880><c> of</c><00:29:50.220><c> a</c><00:29:50.779><c> feast</c><00:29:51.119><c> that</c><00:29:52.259><c> was</c><00:29:52.440><c> made</c><00:29:52.619><c> for</c><00:29:52.740><c> him</c><00:29:52.920><c> by</c><00:29:53.140><c> his</c><00:29:54.559><c> son.</c>

00:29:56.500 --> 00:30:00.519
Goodness,<00:29:57.819><c> Captain</c><00:29:57.819><c> Abner,</c><00:29:58.640><c> when</c><00:29:59.180><c> they</c><00:29:59.779><c> joined</c><00:30:00.059><c> together</c>

00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:04.160

00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:05.640
And<00:30:04.519><c> Solomon</c><00:30:04.920><c> made</c><00:30:05.259><c> a</c><00:30:05.460><c> feast.</c>

00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.079
And<00:30:06.160><c> perhaps</c><00:30:06.339><c> with</c><00:30:06.480><c> the</c><00:30:06.660><c> tech</c><00:30:06.779><c> we</c><00:30:06.859><c> will</c><00:30:07.380><c> talk</c><00:30:07.619><c> about</c><00:30:07.859><c> that.</c>

00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:10.279
Solomon<00:30:08.400><c> came</c><00:30:08.619><c> to</c><00:30:08.779><c> Jerusalem</c><00:30:09.200><c> and</c><00:30:09.380><c> stood</c><00:30:09.519><c> before</c><00:30:09.839><c> the</c><00:30:09.960><c> ark</c><00:30:10.119><c> of</c>

00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:11.079
the<00:30:10.380><c> covenant</c><00:30:10.559><c> of</c><00:30:10.720><c> the</c><00:30:10.839><c> Lord,</c>

00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:13.440
offered<00:30:11.500><c> up</c><00:30:11.720><c> burnt</c><00:30:11.920><c> offerings,</c><00:30:12.720><c> offered</c><00:30:12.900><c> peace</c><00:30:13.160><c> offerings,</c>

00:30:16.140 --> 00:30:19.740
Again,<00:30:16.359><c> we</c><00:30:16.740><c> have</c><00:30:16.960><c> no</c><00:30:17.680><c> problem</c><00:30:18.279><c> with</c><00:30:18.480><c> that,</c><00:30:18.920><c> do</c><00:30:19.000><c> we?</c>

00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:21.660
So<00:30:20.799><c> Samson</c><00:30:21.059><c> made</c><00:30:21.279><c> a</c><00:30:21.480><c> feast.</c>

00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:22.640
Well,<00:30:21.980><c> that's</c><00:30:22.339><c> fine.</c>

00:30:22.859 --> 00:30:24.759
It<00:30:23.000><c> doesn't</c><00:30:23.299><c> say,</c><00:30:23.579><c> does</c><00:30:23.720><c> it,</c><00:30:23.880><c> that</c><00:30:24.079><c> he</c><00:30:24.339><c> drank?</c>

00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:27.380
It<00:30:25.119><c> doesn't</c><00:30:25.420><c> say</c><00:30:25.680><c> that</c><00:30:25.900><c> he</c><00:30:26.140><c> contravened</c><00:30:26.660><c> his</c><00:30:26.900><c> separation.</c>

00:30:27.740 --> 00:30:30.880
He<00:30:27.900><c> provided</c><00:30:28.420><c> as</c><00:30:28.859><c> part</c><00:30:29.119><c> of</c><00:30:29.279><c> the</c><00:30:29.519><c> plan</c><00:30:29.839><c> that</c><00:30:30.500><c> which</c><00:30:30.660><c> would</c><00:30:30.779><c> have</c>

00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:33.759

00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.279
He<00:30:34.079><c> provided</c><00:30:34.640><c> that</c><00:30:35.160><c> which</c><00:30:35.380><c> would</c><00:30:35.539><c> have</c><00:30:35.680><c> been</c><00:30:35.880><c> natural</c><00:30:36.339><c> as</c><00:30:36.779><c> part</c><00:30:37.039><c> of</c>

this<00:30:37.799><c> facade.</c>

00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:42.359
And<00:30:40.480><c> sometimes,</c><00:30:40.900><c> brothers</c><00:30:40.960><c> and</c><00:30:41.119><c> sisters,</c><00:30:41.180><c> we</c><00:30:41.339><c> can</c><00:30:41.759><c> find</c><00:30:41.980><c> ourselves</c><00:30:42.220><c> in</c>

So<00:32:57.119><c> Sampson</c><00:32:57.319><c> is</c><00:32:57.539><c> there,</c><00:32:58.539><c> in</c><00:32:58.759><c> the</c><00:32:58.880><c> middle</c><00:32:59.019><c> of</c><00:32:59.220><c> that,</c><00:32:59.960><c> and</c><00:33:00.240><c> he</c>

00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:01.680
puts<00:33:00.640><c> forth</c><00:33:00.900><c> his</c><00:33:01.119><c> riddle.</c>

00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:07.359
Out<00:33:02.319><c> of</c><00:33:02.480><c> the</c><00:33:02.839><c> strong</c><00:33:03.099><c> came</c><00:33:03.480><c> forth</c><00:33:03.799><c> sweetness,</c><00:33:04.819><c> out</c><00:33:05.019><c> of</c><00:33:06.480><c> the</c>

00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:09.539

00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:11.640
That<00:33:10.299><c> was</c><00:33:10.480><c> the</c><00:33:11.000><c> riddle,</c><00:33:11.259><c> wasn't</c><00:33:11.519><c> it?</c>

00:33:11.660 --> 00:33:13.019
And<00:33:11.839><c> they</c><00:33:12.240><c> really</c><00:33:12.460><c> don't</c><00:33:12.680><c> know,</c><00:33:12.900><c> do</c><00:33:12.960><c> they?</c>

00:33:13.019 --> 00:33:14.160
They<00:33:13.119><c> don't</c><00:33:13.240><c> want</c><00:33:13.339><c> to</c><00:33:13.460><c> do</c><00:33:13.579><c> with</c><00:33:13.799><c> that.</c>

00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:17.079
They<00:33:14.519><c> don't</c><00:33:14.759><c> have</c><00:33:14.980><c> the</c><00:33:15.259><c> key</c><00:33:15.539><c> that</c><00:33:16.059><c> we</c><00:33:16.240><c> have</c><00:33:16.400><c> with</c><00:33:16.619><c> hindsight,</c>

00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:20.039
and<00:33:17.579><c> they</c><00:33:17.960><c> struggle</c><00:33:18.380><c> to</c><00:33:18.579><c> make</c><00:33:18.740><c> anything</c><00:33:19.039><c> of</c><00:33:19.240><c> it.</c>

00:33:20.059 --> 00:33:22.240
Let's<00:33:20.339><c> go</c><00:33:20.519><c> back,</c><00:33:20.660><c> please,</c><00:33:20.819><c> to</c><00:33:20.940><c> Judges</c><00:33:21.160><c> 14.</c>

00:33:22.700 --> 00:33:26.339
They<00:33:22.880><c> could</c><00:33:23.099><c> not</c><00:33:23.319><c> expound</c><00:33:23.720><c> in</c><00:33:23.900><c> three</c><00:33:24.180><c> days</c><00:33:24.599><c> the</c><00:33:24.819><c> riddle,</c><00:33:25.519><c> verse</c><00:33:25.880><c> 14</c>

good<00:33:34.259><c> translation.</c>

00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:37.440
I<00:33:34.799><c> think</c><00:33:34.940><c> the</c><00:33:35.079><c> New</c><00:33:35.180><c> International</c><00:33:35.660><c> and</c><00:33:36.059><c> certainly</c><00:33:36.420><c> the</c><00:33:36.599><c> Septuagint</c><00:33:37.099><c> and</c>

00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:40.920
That<00:33:39.940><c> follows</c><00:33:40.200><c> on,</c><00:33:40.380><c> doesn't</c><00:33:40.519><c> it,</c><00:33:40.660><c> naturally?</c>

00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:43.319
They<00:33:41.259><c> couldn't</c><00:33:41.559><c> in</c><00:33:41.660><c> three</c><00:33:41.980><c> days</c><00:33:42.240><c> expound</c><00:33:42.559><c> the</c><00:33:42.700><c> riddle,</c><00:33:43.059><c> and</c>

00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:44.279

00:33:47.180 --> 00:33:50.640
Entice<00:33:47.480><c> thy</c><00:33:47.660><c> husband</c><00:33:48.099><c> that</c><00:33:48.480><c> he</c><00:33:48.700><c> may</c><00:33:48.859><c> declare</c><00:33:49.640><c> unto</c><00:33:50.079><c> us</c><00:33:50.259><c> the</c><00:33:50.420><c> riddle,</c>

00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:52.839
lest<00:33:50.819><c> we</c><00:33:51.039><c> burn</c><00:33:51.319><c> thee</c><00:33:51.539><c> in</c><00:33:51.599><c> thy</c><00:33:51.799><c> father's</c><00:33:52.140><c> house</c><00:33:52.259><c> with</c><00:33:52.519><c> fire.</c>

00:33:53.220 --> 00:33:57.819
Have<00:33:53.359><c> ye</c><00:33:53.500><c> called</c><00:33:53.759><c> us</c><00:33:54.039><c> to</c><00:33:54.220><c> take</c><00:33:54.660><c> that</c><00:33:57.420><c> we</c><00:33:57.640><c> have?</c>

00:33:58.019 --> 00:33:59.779
Is<00:33:58.299><c> it</c><00:33:58.500><c> not</c><00:33:58.839><c> so?</c>

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:01.980
They<00:34:00.380><c> seem</c><00:34:00.539><c> particularly</c><00:34:00.880><c> anxious,</c><00:34:01.359><c> don't</c><00:34:01.539><c> they?</c>

00:34:02.460 --> 00:34:03.900
As<00:34:02.640><c> we</c><00:34:02.759><c> said,</c><00:34:02.859><c> they</c><00:34:02.960><c> don't</c><00:34:03.099><c> really</c><00:34:03.259><c> have</c><00:34:03.420><c> a</c><00:34:03.619><c> clue,</c>

00:34:04.099 --> 00:34:06.799
and<00:34:04.339><c> yet</c><00:34:04.640><c> it's</c><00:34:05.420><c> almost</c><00:34:05.700><c> desperation</c><00:34:06.420><c> stakes.</c>

00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:08.679
You<00:34:06.920><c> think,</c><00:34:07.240><c> well,</c><00:34:07.599><c> this</c><00:34:07.859><c> is</c><00:34:07.980><c> just</c><00:34:08.119><c> a</c><00:34:08.179><c> bit</c><00:34:08.219><c> of</c><00:34:08.420><c> a</c><00:34:08.500><c> game.</c>

00:34:08.739 --> 00:34:10.639
This<00:34:08.900><c> is</c><00:34:09.320><c> a</c><00:34:09.500><c> sort</c><00:34:09.599><c> of</c><00:34:09.920><c> little</c><00:34:10.260><c> bet.</c>

00:34:11.099 --> 00:34:12.760
The<00:34:11.360><c> stakes</c><00:34:11.579><c> went</c><00:34:11.780><c> exactly</c><00:34:12.239><c> high.</c>

00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:14.219
It<00:34:13.019><c> was</c><00:34:13.260><c> a</c><00:34:13.480><c> garment</c><00:34:13.800><c> each.</c>

00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:15.780
That's<00:34:14.480><c> what</c><00:34:14.619><c> Samson</c><00:34:14.940><c> had</c><00:34:15.099><c> put</c><00:34:15.239><c> forward,</c><00:34:15.400><c> wasn't</c><00:34:15.599><c> it?</c>

00:34:15.940 --> 00:34:17.840
If<00:34:16.059><c> they</c><00:34:16.280><c> couldn't</c><00:34:16.599><c> answer</c><00:34:16.880><c> it</c><00:34:17.039><c> in</c><00:34:17.219><c> seven</c><00:34:17.480><c> days,</c>

00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:20.679
they<00:34:18.320><c> would</c><00:34:18.619><c> give</c><00:34:19.079><c> him</c><00:34:19.480><c> 30</c><00:34:19.940><c> changes</c><00:34:20.300><c> of</c><00:34:20.480><c> raiment,</c>

00:34:20.699 --> 00:34:22.920
and<00:34:20.820><c> I</c><00:34:20.940><c> do</c><00:34:21.139><c> believe</c><00:34:21.260><c> that</c><00:34:21.460><c> was</c><00:34:21.639><c> one</c><00:34:22.280><c> sort</c><00:34:22.400><c> of</c><00:34:22.559><c> change</c><00:34:22.739><c> each.</c>

00:34:22.980 --> 00:34:24.079
I<00:34:23.059><c> don't</c><00:34:23.139><c> think</c><00:34:23.199><c> it</c><00:34:23.300><c> was</c><00:34:23.460><c> 30</c><00:34:23.760><c> each.</c>

00:34:24.460 --> 00:34:27.300
Otherwise,<00:34:25.260><c> he'd</c><00:34:25.400><c> have</c><00:34:25.460><c> had</c><00:34:25.519><c> the</c><00:34:25.599><c> biggest</c><00:34:25.880><c> wardrobe</c><00:34:26.340><c> in</c><00:34:26.619><c> Canaan,</c><00:34:26.940><c> wouldn't</c><00:34:27.099><c> he?</c>

00:34:27.539 --> 00:34:29.400
But<00:34:27.820><c> again,</c><00:34:28.599><c> if</c><00:34:28.739><c> he</c><00:34:28.920><c> lost</c><00:34:29.159><c> the</c><00:34:29.340><c> bet,</c>

00:34:29.500 --> 00:34:32.380
well,<00:34:29.599><c> he</c><00:34:29.719><c> was</c><00:34:29.880><c> to</c><00:34:30.059><c> provide</c><00:34:30.300><c> 30</c><00:34:30.679><c> changes</c><00:34:31.019><c> of</c><00:34:31.199><c> raiment</c><00:34:31.659><c> for</c><00:34:32.199><c> them.</c>

00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:33.679
I<00:34:32.519><c> will</c><00:34:32.719><c> give</c><00:34:32.840><c> you</c><00:34:33.099><c> 30</c><00:34:33.400><c> sheets.</c>

00:34:33.699 --> 00:34:35.460
So<00:34:33.880><c> that</c><00:34:33.940><c> seems</c><00:34:34.199><c> a</c><00:34:34.699><c> fair</c><00:34:34.840><c> exchange,</c><00:34:35.320><c> doesn't</c><00:34:35.360><c> it?</c>

00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:37.300
And<00:34:35.780><c> yet</c><00:34:35.940><c> they're</c><00:34:36.420><c> really</c><00:34:36.679><c> bothered,</c><00:34:36.980><c> aren't</c><00:34:37.119><c> they?</c>

00:34:37.460 --> 00:34:38.679
I<00:34:37.619><c> mean,</c><00:34:37.619><c> look</c><00:34:37.780><c> at</c><00:34:37.920><c> the</c><00:34:38.139><c> phrase</c><00:34:38.360><c> they</c><00:34:38.579><c> use.</c>

00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:40.920
Have<00:34:38.940><c> ye</c><00:34:39.159><c> called</c><00:34:39.360><c> us</c><00:34:39.739><c> to</c><00:34:40.039><c> take</c><00:34:40.280><c> that</c><00:34:40.480><c> we</c><00:34:40.760><c> have?</c>

00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:44.940
The<00:34:41.639><c> alternative</c><00:34:42.639><c> version</c><00:34:42.860><c> is</c><00:34:43.019><c> to</c><00:34:43.360><c> impoverish</c><00:34:43.960><c> us.</c>

00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:48.579
Have<00:34:46.039><c> you</c><00:34:46.179><c> come</c><00:34:46.440><c> to</c><00:34:46.719><c> make</c><00:34:46.980><c> us</c><00:34:47.179><c> poor,</c><00:34:47.559><c> they</c><00:34:47.840><c> said?</c>

00:34:48.699 --> 00:34:51.900
To<00:34:49.139><c> possess</c><00:34:49.579><c> us</c><00:34:49.940><c> is</c><00:34:50.460><c> another</c><00:34:50.760><c> translation.</c>

00:34:51.940 --> 00:34:53.599
That<00:34:52.039><c> seems</c><00:34:52.219><c> a</c><00:34:52.280><c> bit</c><00:34:52.420><c> of</c><00:34:52.619><c> an</c><00:34:52.760><c> exaggeration,</c><00:34:53.179><c> doesn't</c><00:34:53.360><c> it?</c>

00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:55.519
For<00:34:53.880><c> one</c><00:34:54.159><c> garment</c><00:34:54.500><c> each.</c>

00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:57.179
And<00:34:55.679><c> so</c><00:34:55.780><c> I</c><00:34:55.920><c> wonder</c><00:34:56.079><c> if</c><00:34:56.159><c> they</c><00:34:56.440><c> guessed</c><00:34:56.639><c> the</c><00:34:56.920><c> plan.</c>

00:34:57.460 --> 00:34:58.900
Did<00:34:57.579><c> they</c><00:34:57.739><c> know</c><00:34:57.980><c> that</c><00:34:58.139><c> there</c><00:34:58.280><c> was</c><00:34:58.460><c> a</c><00:34:58.619><c> plan</c><00:34:58.719><c> here?</c>

00:34:58.940 --> 00:35:00.559
And<00:34:59.139><c> they</c><00:34:59.699><c> cottoned</c><00:34:59.980><c> onto</c><00:35:00.280><c> it.</c>

00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:03.179
Maybe<00:35:00.800><c> they</c><00:35:01.000><c> knew</c><00:35:01.179><c> that</c><00:35:01.440><c> there</c><00:35:01.599><c> was</c><00:35:01.739><c> more</c><00:35:01.960><c> at</c><00:35:02.300><c> stake.</c>

00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:05.000
They<00:35:04.400><c> threaten</c><00:35:04.679><c> it,</c><00:35:04.820><c> don't</c><00:35:04.940><c> they?</c>

00:35:05.019 --> 00:35:07.500
And<00:35:05.139><c> the</c><00:35:05.360><c> consequences</c><00:35:05.719><c> of</c><00:35:05.900><c> that</c><00:35:06.059><c> are</c><00:35:06.219><c> pretty</c><00:35:06.460><c> severe</c><00:35:06.980><c> for</c>

00:35:07.500 --> 00:35:08.300
non<00:35:07.780><c>-cooperation.</c>

00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:08.900
Look<00:35:08.460><c> what</c><00:35:08.480><c> they</c><00:35:08.699><c> say.</c>

00:35:08.900 --> 00:35:10.940
If<00:35:09.139><c> you</c><00:35:09.340><c> don't</c><00:35:09.619><c> tell</c><00:35:09.800><c> us,</c><00:35:10.179><c> then</c><00:35:10.320><c> we'll</c><00:35:10.519><c> burn</c><00:35:10.739><c> you</c>

00:35:10.940 --> 00:35:12.480
and<00:35:11.139><c> your</c><00:35:11.360><c> father's</c><00:35:11.699><c> house</c><00:35:11.820><c> with</c><00:35:12.099><c> fire.</c>

00:35:12.940 --> 00:35:17.099
So<00:35:13.099><c> there's</c><00:35:13.559><c> something</c><00:35:13.800><c> pretty</c><00:35:14.980><c> hot</c><00:35:15.280><c> about</c><00:35:15.599><c> this,</c><00:35:15.860><c> isn't</c><00:35:16.039><c> there?</c>

00:35:18.179 --> 00:35:19.579
Yeah,<00:35:18.500><c> it's</c><00:35:18.639><c> all</c><00:35:18.800><c> right.</c>

00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:21.239
Somebody's<00:35:20.400><c> awake.</c>

00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:25.380
The<00:35:22.780><c> interesting</c><00:35:23.099><c> thing</c><00:35:23.400><c> as</c><00:35:23.599><c> well</c><00:35:23.739><c> is</c><00:35:23.980><c> the</c><00:35:24.320><c> words</c><00:35:24.519><c> wife</c><00:35:24.760><c> and</c><00:35:24.900><c> husband.</c>

00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:27.400
We<00:35:25.880><c> shouldn't</c><00:35:26.260><c> read</c><00:35:26.539><c> too</c><00:35:26.760><c> much</c><00:35:26.900><c> into</c><00:35:27.119><c> that.</c>

00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:29.519
They<00:35:27.539><c> are</c><00:35:27.739><c> simply</c><00:35:28.059><c> the</c><00:35:28.280><c> words</c><00:35:28.460><c> for</c><00:35:28.780><c> woman</c><00:35:29.019><c> and</c><00:35:29.260><c> man.</c>

00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:31.599
In<00:35:30.039><c> fact,</c><00:35:30.159><c> if</c><00:35:30.280><c> you</c><00:35:30.340><c> look</c><00:35:30.420><c> back</c><00:35:30.599><c> to</c><00:35:30.780><c> verse</c><00:35:30.960><c> seven,</c>

00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:36.679
Then<00:35:34.880><c> that's</c><00:35:35.179><c> the</c><00:35:35.300><c> same</c><00:35:35.440><c> word</c><00:35:35.639><c> that's</c><00:35:35.880><c> used</c><00:35:36.039><c> then</c><00:35:36.219><c> for</c><00:35:36.400><c> wife</c>

00:35:48.139 --> 00:35:52.679
Well,<00:35:48.960><c> Samson's</c><00:35:49.260><c> wife</c><00:35:49.599><c> is</c><00:35:50.739><c> challenged</c><00:35:51.199><c> with</c><00:35:51.440><c> finding</c><00:35:51.659><c> the</c><00:35:51.900><c> answer.</c>

there<00:36:51.320><c> isn't</c><00:36:51.599><c> that</c><00:36:51.920><c> sort</c><00:36:52.099><c> of</c><00:36:52.480><c> mystery,</c><00:36:52.820><c> is</c><00:36:52.940><c> there?</c>

00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:54.119
There's<00:36:53.599><c> that</c><00:36:53.780><c> openness.</c>

00:36:54.260 --> 00:36:58.360
There's<00:36:54.340><c> that</c><00:36:54.639><c> sharing</c><00:36:55.079><c> as</c><00:36:55.739><c> they</c><00:36:55.920><c> come</c><00:36:56.139><c> together</c><00:36:56.639><c> and</c><00:36:57.099><c> are</c><00:36:57.480><c> one.</c>

00:36:58.519 --> 00:37:01.139
And<00:36:58.739><c> yet</c><00:36:58.940><c> the</c><00:36:59.579><c> idea</c><00:36:59.840><c> from</c><00:37:00.039><c> Samson</c><00:37:00.300><c> is</c><00:37:00.500><c> he's</c><00:37:00.679><c> not</c><00:37:00.800><c> ready</c><00:37:00.960><c> for</c>

00:37:01.139 --> 00:37:01.719
that<00:37:01.340><c> commitment.</c>

00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:04.000
He<00:37:02.360><c> says</c><00:37:02.440><c> he</c><00:37:02.559><c> hasn't</c><00:37:02.760><c> even</c><00:37:03.000><c> told</c><00:37:03.179><c> his</c><00:37:03.420><c> father</c><00:37:03.599><c> and</c><00:37:03.760><c> mother</c>

00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:06.579
those<00:37:04.400><c> who</c><00:37:04.559><c> he</c><00:37:04.679><c> should</c><00:37:04.760><c> be</c><00:37:05.039><c> leaving</c><00:37:05.400><c> in</c><00:37:05.800><c> order</c><00:37:06.000><c> to</c><00:37:06.260><c> cleave</c><00:37:06.420><c> to</c>

00:37:06.579 --> 00:37:07.099
his<00:37:06.760><c> wife.</c>

00:37:07.260 --> 00:37:09.780
And<00:37:07.400><c> he</c><00:37:07.460><c> says,</c><00:37:07.719><c> how</c><00:37:07.780><c> can</c><00:37:07.940><c> I</c><00:37:08.119><c> then,</c><00:37:08.659><c> why</c><00:37:08.840><c> should</c><00:37:09.000><c> I</c><00:37:09.199><c> tell</c><00:37:09.360><c> you?</c>

00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:12.360
And<00:37:10.460><c> again,</c><00:37:10.659><c> that</c><00:37:10.840><c> leads</c><00:37:10.980><c> me</c><00:37:11.179><c> just</c><00:37:11.400><c> to</c><00:37:11.679><c> suggest</c><00:37:11.920><c> again</c><00:37:12.219><c> to</c><00:37:12.300><c> you</c>

00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:13.400
that<00:37:12.460><c> this</c><00:37:12.639><c> is</c><00:37:12.820><c> a</c><00:37:12.900><c> facade.</c>

00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:15.420
This<00:37:13.840><c> isn't</c><00:37:14.099><c> a</c><00:37:14.880><c> real</c><00:37:15.139><c> marriage.</c>

00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:19.519
This<00:37:15.599><c> is</c><00:37:15.860><c> a</c><00:37:16.000><c> set</c><00:37:16.199><c> up</c><00:37:16.739><c> ordained,</c><00:37:17.679><c> as</c><00:37:17.860><c> it</c><00:37:18.039><c> were,</c><00:37:18.239><c> by</c><00:37:18.579><c> God.</c>

00:37:20.619 --> 00:37:23.760
Well,<00:37:21.059><c> as</c><00:37:21.159><c> we</c><00:37:21.300><c> said,</c><00:37:21.599><c> the</c><00:37:21.960><c> woman</c><00:37:22.260><c> does</c><00:37:22.699><c> her</c><00:37:23.019><c> best,</c><00:37:23.360><c> doesn't</c><00:37:23.519><c> she?</c>

00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:25.940
And<00:37:23.940><c> we</c><00:37:24.119><c> see</c><00:37:24.260><c> the</c><00:37:24.480><c> power</c><00:37:24.699><c> that</c><00:37:24.860><c> women</c><00:37:25.059><c> possess</c><00:37:25.579><c> here.</c>

00:37:26.219 --> 00:37:27.199
You<00:37:26.340><c> know,</c><00:37:26.440><c> there</c><00:37:26.579><c> were</c><00:37:26.780><c> tears.</c>

00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:29.440
She<00:37:27.719><c> wept,</c><00:37:28.480><c> saw</c><00:37:28.519><c> before</c><00:37:29.019><c> him.</c>

00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:32.559
And<00:37:30.159><c> I've</c><00:37:30.440><c> no</c><00:37:30.579><c> doubt</c><00:37:30.719><c> there</c><00:37:30.860><c> were</c><00:37:30.980><c> a</c><00:37:31.099><c> few</c><00:37:31.239><c> pouts</c><00:37:31.679><c> and</c><00:37:31.980><c> tantrums</c>

00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:32.880
as<00:37:32.719><c> well.</c>

00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:36.659
And<00:37:33.099><c> when</c><00:37:33.260><c> none</c><00:37:33.420><c> of</c><00:37:33.579><c> that</c><00:37:33.820><c> worked,</c><00:37:34.559><c> well,</c><00:37:34.739><c> then</c><00:37:35.019><c> she</c><00:37:36.019><c> lay</c><00:37:36.380><c> sore</c>

00:37:36.659 --> 00:37:37.199
upon<00:37:36.980><c> him.</c>

00:37:37.219 --> 00:37:40.360
She<00:37:37.559><c> used</c><00:37:37.880><c> her</c><00:37:38.139><c> body</c><00:37:38.599><c> to</c><00:37:39.400><c> press</c><00:37:39.699><c> up</c><00:37:39.920><c> against</c><00:37:40.219><c> him.</c>

00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:41.139
That's<00:37:40.599><c> the</c><00:37:40.760><c> idea.</c>

00:37:41.500 --> 00:37:43.860
And<00:37:41.599><c> she</c><00:37:42.019><c> pressed</c><00:37:42.260><c> him</c><00:37:42.420><c> into</c><00:37:42.679><c> compliance,</c><00:37:43.380><c> brothers</c><00:37:43.480><c> and</c><00:37:43.659><c> sisters.</c>

00:37:44.059 --> 00:37:45.599
Who<00:37:44.219><c> can</c><00:37:44.440><c> resist?</c>

00:37:47.059 --> 00:37:49.300
She<00:37:47.500><c> finds</c><00:37:47.880><c> the</c><00:37:48.079><c> answer</c><00:37:48.360><c> one</c><00:37:48.579><c> way</c><00:37:48.739><c> or</c><00:37:48.800><c> the</c><00:37:49.000><c> other.</c>

00:37:49.460 --> 00:37:51.400
And<00:37:49.639><c> of</c><00:37:49.739><c> course,</c><00:37:49.880><c> then</c><00:37:50.000><c> she</c><00:37:50.159><c> betrays</c><00:37:50.619><c> him.</c>

00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:53.860
She<00:37:51.880><c> tells</c><00:37:52.159><c> the</c><00:37:52.380><c> Philistines</c><00:37:52.739><c> the</c><00:37:52.940><c> answer.</c>

00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:56.760
And<00:37:54.679><c> again,</c><00:37:55.320><c> Samson</c><00:37:55.579><c> is</c><00:37:56.019><c> not</c><00:37:56.139><c> happy</c><00:37:56.360><c> with</c><00:37:56.480><c> that,</c><00:37:56.699><c> is</c><00:37:56.699><c> he?</c>

00:37:56.760 --> 00:37:57.480
And<00:37:56.900><c> what</c><00:37:57.000><c> does</c><00:37:57.099><c> he</c><00:37:57.300><c> say?</c>

00:37:57.780 --> 00:38:00.320
If<00:37:57.880><c> you</c><00:37:58.039><c> had</c><00:37:58.159><c> not</c><00:37:58.440><c> ploughed</c><00:37:58.719><c> with</c><00:37:58.880><c> my</c><00:37:59.139><c> heifer,</c><00:37:59.840><c> you</c><00:37:59.980><c> had</c><00:38:00.099><c> not</c>

00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:01.760
found<00:38:00.579><c> out</c><00:38:00.820><c> my</c><00:38:01.039><c> riddle.</c>

00:38:02.059 --> 00:38:06.139
Putting<00:38:02.539><c> aside</c><00:38:02.980><c> the</c><00:38:03.099><c> way</c><00:38:03.300><c> he</c><00:38:03.519><c> describes</c><00:38:03.760><c> his</c><00:38:03.960><c> wife</c><00:38:04.159><c> to</c><00:38:04.420><c> be,</c><00:38:05.659><c> it's</c><00:38:06.019><c> an</c>

00:38:06.139 --> 00:38:07.800
odd<00:38:06.300><c> metaphor,</c><00:38:06.820><c> isn't</c><00:38:06.960><c> it?</c>

00:38:08.019 --> 00:38:10.820
In<00:38:08.280><c> scripture,</c><00:38:08.840><c> it</c><00:38:09.000><c> was</c><00:38:09.199><c> the</c><00:38:09.460><c> ox</c><00:38:09.880><c> that</c><00:38:10.139><c> did</c><00:38:10.340><c> the</c><00:38:10.579><c> ploughing,</c>

00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:12.159
not<00:38:11.039><c> the</c><00:38:11.340><c> heifer.</c>

00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:16.079
So<00:38:12.659><c> it's</c><00:38:13.320><c> an</c><00:38:13.440><c> odd</c><00:38:13.780><c> sort</c><00:38:14.199><c> of</c><00:38:14.360><c> metaphor</c><00:38:14.780><c> that</c><00:38:15.179><c> Samson</c><00:38:15.500><c> uses</c><00:38:15.800><c> here.</c>

00:38:16.340 --> 00:38:19.440
And<00:38:16.480><c> really,</c><00:38:16.880><c> whatever</c><00:38:17.159><c> he</c><00:38:17.500><c> meant</c><00:38:17.719><c> by</c><00:38:18.039><c> it,</c><00:38:18.539><c> it</c><00:38:18.800><c> betrays</c><00:38:19.280><c> an</c>

inappropriate<00:38:19.980><c> use</c><00:38:20.400><c> of.</c>

00:38:21.380 --> 00:38:23.900
To<00:38:21.780><c> plough</c><00:38:22.000><c> with</c><00:38:22.199><c> a</c><00:38:22.300><c> heifer</c><00:38:22.460><c> would</c><00:38:22.639><c> be</c><00:38:22.920><c> the</c><00:38:23.219><c> wrong</c><00:38:23.400><c> use</c><00:38:23.719><c> for</c>

00:38:23.900 --> 00:38:25.340
that<00:38:24.119><c> particular</c><00:38:24.559><c> animal,</c><00:38:24.960><c> wouldn't</c><00:38:25.199><c> it?</c>

00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:27.159
And<00:38:25.719><c> that's</c><00:38:25.860><c> really</c><00:38:26.019><c> what</c><00:38:26.139><c> Samson's</c><00:38:26.519><c> getting</c><00:38:26.679><c> at,</c><00:38:26.800><c> isn't</c><00:38:26.960><c> it?</c>

00:38:27.260 --> 00:38:29.500
If<00:38:27.400><c> they</c><00:38:27.619><c> hadn't</c><00:38:27.800><c> used</c><00:38:28.079><c> his</c><00:38:28.340><c> wife</c><00:38:28.579><c> inappropriately,</c>

00:38:29.500 --> 00:38:31.739
to<00:38:30.079><c> what</c><00:38:30.280><c> extent,</c><00:38:30.679><c> we</c><00:38:30.800><c> don't</c><00:38:30.980><c> know</c><00:38:31.119><c> for</c><00:38:31.380><c> sure,</c><00:38:31.659><c> do</c><00:38:31.659><c> we?</c>

00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:33.699
But<00:38:31.980><c> if</c><00:38:32.219><c> they</c><00:38:32.360><c> hadn't</c><00:38:32.579><c> done</c><00:38:32.780><c> that,</c><00:38:33.000><c> then</c><00:38:33.139><c> they</c><00:38:33.280><c> wouldn't</c><00:38:33.500><c> have</c>

00:38:33.699 --> 00:38:35.059
found<00:38:33.920><c> the</c><00:38:34.099><c> answer.</c>

00:38:36.059 --> 00:38:38.900
And<00:38:36.300><c> so</c><00:38:36.679><c> he</c><00:38:37.239><c> goes</c><00:38:37.500><c> off</c><00:38:37.739><c> to</c><00:38:37.860><c> fulfill</c><00:38:38.099><c> his</c><00:38:38.340><c> side</c><00:38:38.460><c> of</c><00:38:38.579><c> the</c><00:38:38.739><c> bargain.</c>

00:38:38.980 --> 00:38:40.400
And<00:38:39.059><c> he</c><00:38:39.340><c> has</c><00:38:39.539><c> the</c><00:38:39.699><c> last</c><00:38:39.920><c> laugh,</c><00:38:40.139><c> doesn't</c><00:38:40.260><c> he?</c>

00:38:40.420 --> 00:38:42.119
Because<00:38:40.619><c> the</c><00:38:40.860><c> garments</c><00:38:41.000><c> are</c><00:38:41.260><c> secondhand.</c>

00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:44.679
They're<00:38:42.840><c> from</c><00:38:43.059><c> the</c><00:38:43.280><c> backs</c><00:38:43.559><c> of</c><00:38:44.139><c> Philistines.</c>

00:38:44.739 --> 00:38:46.619

00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:49.699
And<00:38:46.780><c> they</c><00:38:46.860><c> were</c><00:38:47.159><c> probably</c><00:38:47.639><c> blood</c><00:38:48.079><c>-stained,</c><00:38:48.619><c> sweat</c><00:38:48.880><c>-ridden</c><00:38:49.159><c> garments.</c>

00:38:50.019 --> 00:38:51.599
And<00:38:50.300><c> he</c><00:38:50.659><c> tosses</c><00:38:51.019><c> them</c><00:38:51.199><c> over.</c>

00:38:51.900 --> 00:38:54.079
And<00:38:52.260><c> yes,</c><00:38:52.539><c> he</c><00:38:52.719><c> certainly</c><00:38:52.920><c> got</c><00:38:53.059><c> the</c><00:38:53.239><c> last</c><00:38:53.440><c> laugh</c><00:38:53.559><c> on</c><00:38:53.820><c> that.</c>

00:38:54.340 --> 00:38:56.179
And<00:38:54.460><c> yet</c><00:38:54.539><c> it's</c><00:38:54.679><c> not</c><00:38:54.820><c> the</c><00:38:54.980><c> actions,</c><00:38:55.239><c> is</c><00:38:55.400><c> it,</c><00:38:55.460><c> of</c><00:38:55.599><c> a</c><00:38:55.760><c> joker?</c>

00:38:56.440 --> 00:38:58.739
It's<00:38:56.639><c> not</c><00:38:56.900><c> the</c><00:38:57.420><c> whim</c><00:38:57.619><c> of</c><00:38:58.000><c> a</c><00:38:58.239><c> playboy.</c>

00:38:58.739 --> 00:39:00.739
The<00:38:59.119><c> spirit</c><00:38:59.480><c> of</c><00:38:59.659><c> the</c><00:38:59.780><c> Lord</c><00:39:00.000><c> came</c><00:39:00.260><c> upon</c><00:39:00.579><c> him.</c>

00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:02.420
This<00:39:00.860><c> is,</c><00:39:01.219><c> again,</c><00:39:01.280><c> of</c><00:39:01.480><c> the</c><00:39:01.639><c> Lord,</c><00:39:01.860><c> isn't</c><00:39:02.099><c> it?</c>

00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:03.659
The<00:39:02.699><c> spirit</c><00:39:02.780><c> of</c><00:39:02.900><c> the</c><00:39:02.980><c> Lord</c><00:39:03.059><c> came</c><00:39:03.239><c> upon</c><00:39:03.440><c> him.</c>

00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:07.300
He<00:39:03.820><c> went</c><00:39:04.039><c> down</c><00:39:04.280><c> to</c><00:39:04.440><c> Ashkelon,</c><00:39:05.300><c> slew</c><00:39:05.500><c> 30</c><00:39:05.800><c> men,</c><00:39:06.340><c> took</c><00:39:06.579><c> their</c><00:39:06.920><c> spoil,</c>

00:39:10.260 --> 00:39:11.840
This<00:39:10.440><c> is</c><00:39:10.659><c> the</c><00:39:10.820><c> outworking</c><00:39:11.219><c> of</c><00:39:11.400><c> the</c><00:39:11.539><c> Almighty.</c>

00:39:12.139 --> 00:39:14.179
This<00:39:12.340><c> is</c><00:39:12.619><c> the</c><00:39:12.880><c> occasion</c><00:39:13.460><c> that</c><00:39:13.679><c> was</c><00:39:14.000><c> sought.</c>

00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:15.920
It's<00:39:14.380><c> now</c><00:39:14.579><c> been</c><00:39:14.860><c> found.</c>

00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:17.840
This<00:39:16.159><c> is</c><00:39:16.440><c> of</c><00:39:16.699><c> the</c><00:39:16.940><c> Lord.</c>

00:39:19.139 --> 00:39:20.460

00:39:20.699 --> 00:39:22.079
And<00:39:20.780><c> time</c><00:39:21.320><c> is</c><00:39:21.519><c> ticking</c><00:39:21.699><c> on,</c><00:39:21.900><c> isn't</c><00:39:21.980><c> it?</c>

00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:25.139
The<00:39:22.199><c> chapter</c><00:39:22.420><c> concludes</c><00:39:22.960><c> that</c><00:39:23.619><c> Samson's</c><00:39:24.039><c> wife</c><00:39:24.219><c> was</c><00:39:24.420><c> given</c><00:39:24.679><c> to</c>

his<00:39:25.599><c> companion,</c>

no<00:39:29.719><c> doubt.</c>

00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:33.920
We<00:39:31.480><c> tend</c><00:39:31.619><c> to</c><00:39:31.780><c> think</c><00:39:31.900><c> of</c><00:39:32.079><c> the</c><00:39:32.360><c> friend</c><00:39:32.659><c> of</c><00:39:32.860><c> the</c><00:39:33.500><c> bridegroom</c>

00:39:37.260 --> 00:39:39.559
Interesting,<00:39:37.719><c> though,</c><00:39:37.800><c> the</c><00:39:37.880><c> word</c><00:39:38.139><c> companion</c><00:39:38.739><c> there,</c><00:39:39.119><c> that's</c>

00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:45.340
And<00:39:43.219><c> I</c><00:39:43.659><c> thought</c><00:39:43.780><c> that</c><00:39:43.920><c> was</c><00:39:44.059><c> rather</c><00:39:44.320><c> nice.</c>

00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:46.940
Shepherd<00:39:45.840><c> is</c><00:39:45.980><c> one</c><00:39:46.139><c> who</c><00:39:46.380><c> feeds,</c><00:39:46.760><c> isn't</c><00:39:46.840><c> he?</c>

How<00:40:35.780><c> small</c><00:40:36.260><c> John</c><00:40:36.440><c> must</c><00:40:36.760><c> have</c><00:40:37.119><c> felt.</c>

And<00:40:55.159><c> the</c><00:40:55.539><c> Baptist</c><00:40:55.860><c> withdraws</c><00:40:56.440><c> himself</c><00:40:56.840><c> from</c><00:40:57.000><c> the</c><00:40:57.179><c> record.</c>

00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:00.420
And<00:40:57.519><c> that's</c><00:40:57.820><c> a</c><00:40:58.099><c> wonderful</c><00:40:58.480><c> passage</c><00:40:58.900><c> in</c><00:40:59.099><c> John</c><00:40:59.320><c> chapter</c><00:40:59.639><c> 3.</c>

00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:04.059
The<00:41:00.960><c> friend</c><00:41:01.219><c> of</c><00:41:01.400><c> the</c><00:41:01.599><c> bridegroom</c><00:41:02.260><c> rejoices,</c><00:41:03.820><c> he</c><00:41:03.960><c> says.</c>

00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:05.739
He<00:41:04.260><c> that</c><00:41:04.380><c> hath</c><00:41:04.539><c> the</c><00:41:04.719><c> bride</c><00:41:04.900><c> is</c><00:41:05.099><c> the</c><00:41:05.280><c> bridegroom.</c>

00:41:05.980 --> 00:41:08.440
The<00:41:06.099><c> friend</c><00:41:06.219><c> of</c><00:41:06.360><c> the</c><00:41:06.460><c> bridegroom</c><00:41:06.739><c> stands</c><00:41:07.079><c> by</c><00:41:07.400><c> and</c><00:41:07.900><c> rejoices.</c>

00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:10.280
And<00:41:08.579><c> what</c><00:41:08.699><c> a</c><00:41:09.019><c> wonderful</c><00:41:09.360><c> picture.</c>

00:41:11.460 --> 00:41:14.119
Well,<00:41:12.059><c> chapter</c><00:41:12.280><c> 15,</c><00:41:13.280><c> and</c><00:41:13.480><c> one</c><00:41:13.639><c> spring</c><00:41:13.840><c> evening,</c>

00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:15.079
there<00:41:14.280><c> was</c><00:41:14.440><c> a</c><00:41:14.519><c> knock</c><00:41:14.619><c> on</c><00:41:14.800><c> the</c><00:41:14.940><c> door,</c>

00:41:15.179 --> 00:41:17.320
and<00:41:15.280><c> Mr.</c><00:41:15.599><c> Philistine</c><00:41:15.840><c> was</c><00:41:16.019><c> most</c><00:41:16.239><c> surprised</c><00:41:16.699><c> as</c><00:41:16.820><c> he</c><00:41:17.039><c> opened</c>

00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:19.340
and<00:41:18.139><c> discovered</c><00:41:18.519><c> Samson</c><00:41:18.940><c> there,</c>

00:41:19.340 --> 00:41:21.820
cleaned<00:41:19.920><c> and</c><00:41:20.280><c> dressed</c><00:41:20.579><c> and</c><00:41:20.719><c> with</c><00:41:20.860><c> a</c><00:41:20.980><c> goat</c><00:41:21.139><c> under</c><00:41:21.360><c> his</c><00:41:21.559><c> arm,</c>

00:41:22.059 --> 00:41:23.380
in<00:41:22.139><c> lieu</c><00:41:22.300><c> of</c><00:41:22.539><c> flowers.</c>

00:41:23.500 --> 00:41:26.679
And<00:41:23.800><c> you</c><00:41:24.260><c> might</c><00:41:24.440><c> wonder</c><00:41:24.719><c> why</c><00:41:25.500><c> Samson</c><00:41:25.900><c> went</c><00:41:26.219><c> back.</c>

00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:28.880
Again,<00:41:27.400><c> it's</c><00:41:27.739><c> an</c><00:41:27.900><c> odd</c><00:41:28.039><c> thing,</c><00:41:28.320><c> isn't</c><00:41:28.400><c> it?</c>

00:41:29.380 --> 00:41:31.159
Well,<00:41:30.139><c> why</c><00:41:30.480><c> did</c><00:41:30.619><c> he</c><00:41:30.699><c> go</c><00:41:30.940><c> back?</c>

00:41:31.619 --> 00:41:33.699
Perhaps,<00:41:32.079><c> one,</c><00:41:32.159><c> he</c><00:41:32.260><c> wanted</c><00:41:32.500><c> to</c><00:41:32.699><c> get</c><00:41:32.840><c> married</c><00:41:33.059><c> after</c><00:41:33.400><c> all.</c>

00:41:33.840 --> 00:41:35.760
Perhaps<00:41:34.099><c> he's</c><00:41:34.260><c> trying</c><00:41:34.460><c> to</c><00:41:34.940><c> make</c><00:41:35.119><c> things</c><00:41:35.420><c> right.</c>

00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:37.519
Well,<00:41:36.039><c> we've</c><00:41:36.360><c> already</c><00:41:36.719><c> covered</c><00:41:37.079><c> that,</c><00:41:37.460><c> haven't</c><00:41:37.460><c> we?</c>

00:41:37.619 --> 00:41:39.139
I<00:41:37.860><c> don't</c><00:41:38.079><c> believe</c><00:41:38.300><c> that</c><00:41:38.460><c> is</c><00:41:38.659><c> the</c><00:41:38.820><c> case.</c>

00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:41.179
Two,<00:41:39.820><c> he</c><00:41:39.960><c> wanted</c><00:41:40.179><c> to</c><00:41:40.420><c> apologize,</c><00:41:40.880><c> perhaps,</c>

00:41:41.219 --> 00:41:42.940
for<00:41:41.380><c> using</c><00:41:41.760><c> the</c><00:41:41.940><c> woman</c><00:41:42.099><c> in</c><00:41:42.280><c> the</c><00:41:42.400><c> way</c><00:41:42.500><c> he</c><00:41:42.800><c> had.</c>

00:41:43.340 --> 00:41:44.559
Well,<00:41:43.679><c> again,</c><00:41:43.900><c> that's</c><00:41:44.199><c> possible.</c>

00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:47.179
But<00:41:44.940><c> perhaps</c><00:41:45.219><c> this</c><00:41:45.420><c> is</c><00:41:45.619><c> merely</c><00:41:45.920><c> phase</c><00:41:46.320><c> two</c><00:41:46.539><c> of</c><00:41:46.719><c> the</c><00:41:46.920><c> plan.</c>

00:41:47.420 --> 00:41:48.920
And<00:41:47.599><c> that's</c><00:41:47.719><c> what</c><00:41:47.800><c> I'm</c><00:41:47.960><c> going</c><00:41:48.079><c> to</c><00:41:48.239><c> suggest</c><00:41:48.500><c> to</c><00:41:48.800><c> you.</c>

00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:52.179
I<00:41:49.400><c> think</c><00:41:49.639><c> Samson</c><00:41:50.000><c> knows</c><00:41:50.420><c> that</c><00:41:50.699><c> the</c><00:41:51.019><c> woman</c><00:41:51.219><c> has</c><00:41:51.380><c> been</c><00:41:51.519><c> given</c><00:41:51.739><c> to</c><00:41:51.940><c> another.</c>

00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:54.920
He<00:41:52.519><c> wasn't</c><00:41:52.820><c> stupid,</c><00:41:53.199><c> and</c><00:41:53.500><c> I'm</c><00:41:53.659><c> sure</c><00:41:53.820><c> word</c><00:41:54.039><c> would</c><00:41:54.179><c> have</c><00:41:54.320><c> got</c><00:41:54.559><c> round.</c>

00:41:55.239 --> 00:41:58.500
And<00:41:55.719><c> he</c><00:41:55.940><c> uses</c><00:41:56.280><c> that,</c><00:41:56.659><c> again,</c><00:41:56.940><c> of</c><00:41:57.139><c> the</c><00:41:57.360><c> Lord</c><00:41:57.579><c> as</c><00:41:57.719><c> an</c><00:41:57.860><c> opportunity</c>

00:41:58.500 --> 00:42:02.179
to<00:41:59.139><c> bring</c><00:41:59.519><c> further</c><00:42:00.000><c> punishment</c><00:42:00.480><c> against</c><00:42:00.880><c> the</c><00:42:01.099><c> Philistines.</c>

00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:03.519
And<00:42:02.320><c> the</c><00:42:02.519><c> clue</c><00:42:02.760><c> for</c><00:42:02.940><c> that,</c><00:42:03.159><c> brother</c><00:42:03.260><c> and</c><00:42:03.340><c> sister,</c>

00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:05.960
seems<00:42:03.760><c> to</c><00:42:03.900><c> be</c><00:42:03.980><c> in</c><00:42:04.099><c> the</c><00:42:04.260><c> judgment</c><00:42:04.539><c> that's</c><00:42:04.840><c> meted</c><00:42:05.039><c> out.</c>

00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:06.539
Two<00:42:06.280><c> things.</c>

00:42:06.579 --> 00:42:09.860
One,<00:42:07.059><c> it's</c><00:42:07.559><c> over</c><00:42:07.800><c> the</c><00:42:08.039><c> top</c><00:42:08.579><c> for</c><00:42:09.159><c> what</c><00:42:09.320><c> happens,</c>

00:42:10.019 --> 00:42:11.360
and<00:42:10.320><c> we'll</c><00:42:10.480><c> talk</c><00:42:10.619><c> about</c><00:42:10.739><c> that</c><00:42:10.920><c> in</c><00:42:11.000><c> a</c><00:42:11.119><c> moment.</c>

00:42:11.619 --> 00:42:14.760
But<00:42:11.880><c> secondly,</c><00:42:12.739><c> he's</c><00:42:12.900><c> not</c><00:42:13.079><c> angry</c><00:42:13.260><c> with</c><00:42:13.480><c> the</c><00:42:13.719><c> father</c><00:42:13.960><c> or</c><00:42:14.199><c> the</c><00:42:14.420><c> woman.</c>

00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:16.119
Just<00:42:15.500><c> notice</c><00:42:15.860><c> that.</c>

00:42:16.280 --> 00:42:17.800
At<00:42:16.460><c> no</c><00:42:16.699><c> point</c><00:42:16.860><c> is</c><00:42:17.000><c> he</c><00:42:17.159><c> angry</c><00:42:17.340><c> with</c><00:42:17.599><c> them.</c>

00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:20.980
He's<00:42:18.139><c> only</c><00:42:18.460><c> angry,</c><00:42:18.900><c> and</c><00:42:19.079><c> his</c><00:42:19.119><c> only</c><00:42:19.860><c> destruction</c>

00:42:20.980 --> 00:42:22.219
is<00:42:21.219><c> with</c><00:42:21.440><c> the</c><00:42:21.619><c> Philistines.</c>

00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:25.920
The<00:42:22.619><c> father</c><00:42:22.960><c> had</c><00:42:23.260><c> deceived</c><00:42:23.579><c> him</c><00:42:24.480><c> and</c><00:42:24.760><c> given</c><00:42:24.920><c> the</c><00:42:25.420><c> woman</c><00:42:25.679><c> to</c>

00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:27.260
someone<00:42:26.159><c> else.</c>

00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:30.840
And<00:42:28.099><c> the</c><00:42:28.380><c> woman</c><00:42:28.619><c> had</c><00:42:28.920><c> betrayed</c><00:42:29.179><c> him</c><00:42:29.360><c> and</c><00:42:29.440><c> told</c><00:42:29.659><c> his</c><00:42:29.800><c> secret.</c>

00:42:31.179 --> 00:42:34.360
And<00:42:31.360><c> yet,</c><00:42:31.840><c> on</c><00:42:32.000><c> neither</c><00:42:32.179><c> occasion</c><00:42:32.679><c> does</c><00:42:32.900><c> he</c><00:42:33.079><c> direct</c><00:42:33.380><c> his</c><00:42:34.039><c> rage</c>

00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:35.420
at<00:42:34.619><c> them.</c>

00:42:36.179 --> 00:42:37.539
And<00:42:36.280><c> I</c><00:42:36.380><c> think,</c><00:42:36.980><c> brothers</c><00:42:37.179><c> and</c><00:42:37.320><c> sisters,</c>

00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:38.659
I<00:42:37.659><c> think</c><00:42:37.780><c> that's</c><00:42:37.960><c> because</c><00:42:38.179><c> he</c><00:42:38.420><c> knew.</c>

00:42:38.980 --> 00:42:40.840
I<00:42:39.119><c> think</c><00:42:39.260><c> the</c><00:42:39.420><c> Lord</c><00:42:39.579><c> told</c><00:42:39.860><c> him</c><00:42:39.980><c> there</c><00:42:40.099><c> would</c><00:42:40.280><c> be</c><00:42:40.400><c> a</c><00:42:40.519><c> betrayal,</c>

00:42:41.179 --> 00:42:42.380
and<00:42:41.420><c> it</c><00:42:41.559><c> was</c><00:42:41.719><c> part</c><00:42:41.880><c> of</c><00:42:42.059><c> the</c><00:42:42.219><c> plan.</c>

00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:43.659
He<00:42:42.539><c> knew</c><00:42:42.760><c> that</c><00:42:42.900><c> he</c><00:42:42.980><c> would</c><00:42:43.139><c> be</c><00:42:43.300><c> cheated,</c>

00:42:43.900 --> 00:42:47.360
and<00:42:44.139><c> yet</c><00:42:44.260><c> that</c><00:42:44.480><c> enabled</c><00:42:44.900><c> him</c><00:42:45.260><c> to</c><00:42:45.659><c> bring</c><00:42:46.079><c> judgment</c><00:42:46.559><c> and</c><00:42:46.780><c> destruction</c>

00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:49.280
upon<00:42:47.860><c> the</c><00:42:48.119><c> Philistines.</c>

00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:50.599
And<00:42:49.599><c> again,</c><00:42:49.840><c> just</c><00:42:50.019><c> worth</c><00:42:50.139><c> noting,</c><00:42:50.440><c> isn't</c><00:42:50.539><c> it,</c>

00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:51.940
when<00:42:50.719><c> we</c><00:42:50.900><c> talk</c><00:42:51.019><c> about</c><00:42:51.239><c> Samson's</c><00:42:51.739><c> character,</c>

00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:53.679
his<00:42:52.320><c> motivation</c><00:42:52.900><c> wasn't</c><00:42:53.320><c> lust.</c>

00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:56.280
He's<00:42:54.420><c> offered</c><00:42:54.659><c> a</c><00:42:55.059><c> better</c><00:42:55.360><c>-looking</c><00:42:55.679><c> sister.</c>

00:42:56.699 --> 00:42:58.960
Again,<00:42:56.960><c> that's</c><00:42:57.139><c> something</c><00:42:57.280><c> every</c><00:42:58.199><c> family</c><00:42:58.519><c> wants</c><00:42:58.739><c> to</c><00:42:58.880><c> hear,</c>

00:42:59.000 --> 00:42:59.280
isn't<00:42:59.099><c> it?</c>

00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:00.119
Oh,<00:42:59.480><c> don't</c><00:42:59.599><c> worry</c><00:42:59.800><c> about</c><00:42:59.980><c> that.</c>

00:43:00.219 --> 00:43:01.619
He<00:43:00.239><c> says,</c><00:43:00.480><c> I've</c><00:43:00.820><c> got</c><00:43:00.960><c> a</c><00:43:01.099><c> younger</c><00:43:01.280><c> daughter</c><00:43:01.500><c> here.</c>

00:43:01.619 --> 00:43:03.039
She's<00:43:01.800><c> better</c><00:43:02.000><c>-looking.</c>

00:43:03.940 --> 00:43:06.699
And<00:43:04.260><c> yet,</c><00:43:04.599><c> Samson</c><00:43:04.840><c> doesn't</c><00:43:05.460><c> concern</c><00:43:05.880><c> himself</c><00:43:06.280><c> with</c><00:43:06.460><c> that,</c>

00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:07.219
does<00:43:06.900><c> he?</c>

00:43:07.659 --> 00:43:10.840
If<00:43:08.059><c> he</c><00:43:08.300><c> had</c><00:43:08.480><c> just</c><00:43:08.659><c> been</c><00:43:08.800><c> out</c><00:43:09.000><c> to</c><00:43:09.280><c> satisfy</c><00:43:09.599><c> his</c><00:43:10.000><c> appetite</c><00:43:10.420><c> with</c><00:43:10.619><c> women,</c>

00:43:10.860 --> 00:43:13.619
well,<00:43:11.179><c> that</c><00:43:11.380><c> would</c><00:43:11.519><c> have</c><00:43:11.619><c> been</c><00:43:11.739><c> an</c><00:43:11.860><c> easy</c><00:43:12.019><c> opportunity,</c><00:43:12.659><c> wouldn't</c><00:43:12.820><c> it?</c>

00:43:13.900 --> 00:43:15.860
Well,<00:43:14.219><c> as</c><00:43:14.400><c> we</c><00:43:14.559><c> said,</c><00:43:14.679><c> there's</c><00:43:14.860><c> this</c><00:43:15.079><c> sort</c><00:43:15.219><c> of</c><00:43:15.380><c> over</c><00:43:15.519><c>-the</c><00:43:15.719><c>-top</c>

comic<00:43:16.360><c>-style</c><00:43:16.679><c> revenge.</c>

00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:19.559
Samson<00:43:18.519><c> blames</c><00:43:18.800><c> the</c><00:43:19.000><c> Philistines</c>

00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:21.559
because<00:43:20.119><c> his</c><00:43:20.360><c> wife</c><00:43:20.579><c> has</c><00:43:20.760><c> been</c><00:43:20.860><c> given</c><00:43:21.059><c> to</c><00:43:21.260><c> another,</c>

00:43:21.860 --> 00:43:24.559
and<00:43:22.000><c> instead</c><00:43:22.219><c> of</c><00:43:22.639><c> taking</c><00:43:23.059><c> action</c><00:43:23.340><c> against</c><00:43:23.539><c> the</c><00:43:23.739><c> father,</c>

00:43:24.980 --> 00:43:27.880
he<00:43:25.059><c> destroys</c><00:43:25.500><c> basically</c><00:43:25.980><c> the</c><00:43:26.099><c> entire</c><00:43:26.539><c> Philistine</c><00:43:26.900><c> economy.</c>

00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:31.880
He<00:43:28.099><c> catches</c><00:43:28.420><c> 300</c><00:43:28.860><c> foxes,</c><00:43:30.260><c> or</c><00:43:30.460><c> jackals,</c><00:43:30.880><c> as</c><00:43:31.000><c> they</c><00:43:31.219><c> probably</c><00:43:31.639><c> were,</c>

00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:34.780
puts<00:43:32.420><c> torches</c><00:43:32.940><c> between</c><00:43:33.380><c> two</c><00:43:33.800><c> of</c><00:43:34.019><c> them,</c>

00:43:35.059 --> 00:43:37.099
and<00:43:35.219><c> sends</c><00:43:35.500><c> them</c><00:43:35.699><c> through</c><00:43:36.019><c> the</c><00:43:36.360><c> corn,</c>

00:43:37.380 --> 00:43:39.179
except<00:43:37.780><c> they're</c><00:43:38.400><c> through</c><00:43:38.599><c> the</c><00:43:38.840><c> corn,</c>

00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:41.659

00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:43.900
and<00:43:42.280><c> not</c><00:43:42.400><c> only</c><00:43:42.639><c> that,</c><00:43:42.840><c> but</c><00:43:42.960><c> also</c><00:43:43.260><c> the</c><00:43:43.539><c> barns.</c>

00:43:43.900 --> 00:43:46.860
That's<00:43:44.159><c> the</c><00:43:44.300><c> idea</c><00:43:44.460><c> of</c><00:43:44.760><c> the</c><00:43:45.440><c> stocks,</c><00:43:45.860><c> the</c><00:43:46.099><c> shocks,</c><00:43:46.480><c> sorry,</c>

00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:48.639
that<00:43:47.059><c> he</c><00:43:47.599><c> talks</c><00:43:47.800><c> about</c><00:43:48.039><c> in</c><00:43:48.260><c> verse</c><00:43:48.440><c> 5.</c>

00:43:48.760 --> 00:43:50.380
That<00:43:48.960><c> would</c><00:43:49.119><c> have</c><00:43:49.239><c> been</c><00:43:49.300><c> the</c><00:43:49.539><c> harvest</c><00:43:49.739><c> probably</c><00:43:50.039><c> from</c><00:43:50.219><c> the</c>

00:43:50.380 --> 00:43:50.980
previous<00:43:50.639><c> year,</c>

00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:52.960
that<00:43:51.420><c> the</c><00:43:51.679><c> bales</c><00:43:51.980><c> that</c><00:43:52.099><c> would</c><00:43:52.239><c> have</c><00:43:52.320><c> been</c><00:43:52.480><c> standing</c><00:43:52.699><c> there,</c>

00:43:53.119 --> 00:43:54.760
as<00:43:53.320><c> well</c><00:43:53.559><c> as</c><00:43:53.900><c> the</c><00:43:54.199><c> standing</c><00:43:54.579><c> corn</c>

00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:56.820
that<00:43:54.920><c> would</c><00:43:55.039><c> have</c><00:43:55.119><c> been</c><00:43:55.199><c> in</c><00:43:55.360><c> the</c><00:43:55.480><c> field</c><00:43:55.619><c> ready</c><00:43:56.039><c> for</c><00:43:56.360><c> harvest.</c>

00:43:57.199 --> 00:44:01.099
So<00:43:57.480><c> in</c><00:43:57.719><c> one</c><00:43:57.920><c> fell</c><00:43:58.219><c> swoop,</c><00:43:58.960><c> Samson</c><00:43:59.219><c> brings</c><00:43:59.480><c> huge</c><00:43:59.860><c> devastation.</c>

00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:02.920
That's<00:44:01.719><c> a</c><00:44:01.800><c> mighty</c><00:44:02.099><c> judgment,</c><00:44:02.500><c> isn't</c><00:44:02.599><c> it?</c>

00:44:03.019 --> 00:44:07.619
As<00:44:03.159><c> the</c><00:44:03.320><c> Americans</c><00:44:03.599><c> say,</c><00:44:03.920><c> that's</c><00:44:04.880><c> a</c><00:44:04.900><c> $50</c><00:44:06.199><c> fine</c><00:44:06.559><c> for</c><00:44:06.760><c> a</c><00:44:06.780><c> $5</c><00:44:07.119><c> crime.</c>

00:44:07.980 --> 00:44:09.579
You<00:44:08.039><c> know,</c><00:44:08.119><c> this</c><00:44:08.280><c> is</c><00:44:08.780><c> way</c><00:44:08.960><c> over</c><00:44:09.199><c> the</c><00:44:09.380><c> top,</c>

00:44:09.719 --> 00:44:12.800
unless,<00:44:10.079><c> of</c><00:44:10.239><c> course,</c><00:44:10.400><c> it</c><00:44:10.599><c> is,</c><00:44:10.940><c> as</c><00:44:11.059><c> we</c><00:44:11.219><c> said,</c><00:44:11.420><c> part</c><00:44:11.619><c> of</c><00:44:11.840><c> the</c><00:44:12.019><c> plan.</c>

00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:15.840
Well,<00:44:14.119><c> then</c><00:44:14.280><c> the</c><00:44:14.500><c> Philistines</c><00:44:14.840><c> react</c><00:44:15.139><c> to</c><00:44:15.360><c> that,</c><00:44:15.539><c> don't</c><00:44:15.699><c> they?</c>

00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:17.579
And<00:44:15.980><c> they</c><00:44:16.059><c> sort</c><00:44:16.159><c> of</c><00:44:16.340><c> tit</c><00:44:16.519><c> for</c><00:44:16.760><c> tat.</c>

00:44:17.659 --> 00:44:19.480
Interestingly,<00:44:18.280><c> how</c><00:44:18.400><c> things</c><00:44:18.619><c> don't</c><00:44:18.900><c> really</c><00:44:19.179><c> change</c>

00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:22.360
when<00:44:19.599><c> you</c><00:44:19.760><c> think</c><00:44:19.920><c> about</c><00:44:20.099><c> the</c><00:44:20.340><c> Palestinians</c><00:44:20.699><c> and</c><00:44:21.320><c> the</c><00:44:21.460><c> Israelis</c><00:44:21.820><c> today.</c>

00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:24.920
But<00:44:22.800><c> the</c><00:44:22.980><c> Philistines</c><00:44:23.420><c> blame</c><00:44:23.800><c> father</c><00:44:24.099><c> and</c><00:44:24.320><c> daughter</c><00:44:24.619><c> for</c>

00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:25.840
what<00:44:25.139><c> Samson's</c><00:44:25.639><c> done,</c>

00:44:26.039 --> 00:44:27.219
and<00:44:26.300><c> so</c><00:44:26.440><c> they</c><00:44:26.659><c> burn</c><00:44:26.860><c> them,</c>

00:44:27.519 --> 00:44:31.000
and<00:44:27.840><c> the</c><00:44:28.159><c> punishment</c><00:44:28.539><c> that</c><00:44:28.719><c> they</c><00:44:28.980><c> threatened</c><00:44:29.260><c> in</c><00:44:29.460><c> chapter</c><00:44:29.699><c> 14</c>

00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:32.500
comes<00:44:31.380><c> to</c><00:44:31.679><c> pass.</c>

00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:35.400
Well,<00:44:33.460><c> Samson</c><00:44:33.719><c> again</c><00:44:34.039><c> then</c><00:44:34.320><c> blames</c><00:44:34.599><c> them,</c><00:44:34.840><c> doesn't</c><00:44:35.139><c> he?</c>

00:44:35.539 --> 00:44:37.900
And<00:44:35.820><c> he</c><00:44:36.039><c> proceeds</c><00:44:36.320><c> to</c><00:44:36.559><c> smite</c><00:44:36.780><c> them</c><00:44:36.940><c> with</c><00:44:37.099><c> a</c><00:44:37.260><c> great</c><00:44:37.480><c> slaughter,</c>

00:44:37.980 --> 00:44:38.619
verse<00:44:38.199><c> 7.</c>

00:44:39.079 --> 00:44:41.420
Though<00:44:39.360><c> you</c><00:44:39.519><c> have</c><00:44:39.639><c> done</c><00:44:39.780><c> this,</c><00:44:40.119><c> yet</c><00:44:40.280><c> will</c><00:44:40.440><c> I</c><00:44:40.579><c> be</c><00:44:40.739><c> avenged</c><00:44:41.039><c> of</c><00:44:41.199><c> you.</c>

00:44:41.420 --> 00:44:42.639
After<00:44:41.860><c> that,</c><00:44:42.079><c> I</c><00:44:42.219><c> will</c><00:44:42.480><c> cease.</c>

00:44:42.639 --> 00:44:45.760
He<00:44:42.900><c> smoked</c><00:44:43.079><c> them</c><00:44:43.280><c> hip</c><00:44:43.480><c> and</c><00:44:43.739><c> thigh</c><00:44:44.019><c> with</c><00:44:44.420><c> a</c><00:44:44.619><c> great</c><00:44:44.840><c> slaughter.</c>

00:44:46.780 --> 00:44:49.719
And<00:44:47.199><c> so</c><00:44:47.380><c> the</c><00:44:47.480><c> men</c><00:44:47.639><c> of</c><00:44:47.820><c> Judah</c><00:44:47.980><c> then</c><00:44:48.300><c> blame</c><00:44:48.539><c> Samson</c><00:44:49.179><c> for</c><00:44:49.460><c> causing</c>

00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:51.239
this,<00:44:50.619><c> for</c><00:44:50.739><c> the</c><00:44:50.960><c> trouble,</c>

00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:54.019

00:44:56.619 --> 00:44:59.079
And<00:44:57.019><c> time</c><00:44:57.079><c> has</c><00:44:57.320><c> gone,</c><00:44:57.440><c> but</c><00:44:57.699><c> I'd</c><00:44:58.099><c> just</c><00:44:58.099><c> like</c><00:44:58.179><c> to</c><00:44:58.440><c> share</c><00:44:58.539><c> with</c><00:44:58.739><c> you</c>

00:45:04.099 --> 00:45:09.480
And<00:45:04.420><c> it's</c><00:45:04.659><c> the</c><00:45:04.860><c> fact</c><00:45:05.019><c> that</c><00:45:05.639><c> Pentecost</c><00:45:06.480><c> seems</c><00:45:07.099><c> to</c><00:45:07.340><c> be</c><00:45:07.559><c> represented</c><00:45:08.039><c> here</c><00:45:08.400><c> for</c><00:45:08.639><c> us.</c>

00:45:11.420 --> 00:45:13.000
Time<00:45:11.619><c> of</c><00:45:11.780><c> wheat</c><00:45:11.940><c> harvest.</c>

00:45:14.059 --> 00:45:15.260
Well,<00:45:14.440><c> I</c><00:45:14.500><c> could</c><00:45:14.699><c> prove</c><00:45:14.820><c> it</c><00:45:15.000><c> to</c><00:45:15.079><c> you.</c>

00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:21.179
Exodus<00:45:15.559><c> 34,</c><00:45:16.340><c> verse</c><00:45:16.559><c> 22</c><00:45:17.219><c> tells</c><00:45:17.820><c> us</c><00:45:18.139><c> that</c><00:45:18.440><c> the</c><00:45:19.119><c> feast</c><00:45:19.900><c> of</c><00:45:20.559><c> Pentecost,</c>

00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:23.639
or<00:45:21.900><c> it</c><00:45:22.079><c> wasn't</c><00:45:22.360><c> called</c><00:45:22.699><c> that</c><00:45:22.880><c> in</c><00:45:23.000><c> the</c><00:45:23.119><c> Old</c><00:45:23.239><c> Testament,</c>

00:45:23.980 --> 00:45:26.739
but<00:45:24.159><c> it</c><00:45:24.559><c> took</c><00:45:24.780><c> place</c><00:45:25.139><c> at</c><00:45:25.440><c> this</c><00:45:25.699><c> time.</c>

00:45:27.639 --> 00:45:29.440
Verse<00:45:27.880><c> 22,</c><00:45:28.239><c> thou</c><00:45:28.320><c> shalt</c><00:45:28.440><c> observe</c><00:45:28.780><c> the</c><00:45:28.940><c> feast</c><00:45:29.139><c> of</c><00:45:29.300><c> wheat,</c>

00:45:29.579 --> 00:45:31.360
the<00:45:29.920><c> first</c><00:45:30.199><c> fruits</c><00:45:30.440><c> of</c><00:45:30.639><c> wheat</c><00:45:30.820><c> harvest,</c>

00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:33.219
and<00:45:31.800><c> the</c><00:45:31.920><c> feast</c><00:45:32.059><c> of</c><00:45:32.199><c> ingathering</c><00:45:32.559><c> at</c><00:45:32.719><c> the</c><00:45:32.840><c> year's</c><00:45:33.099><c> end.</c>

00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:34.340
So<00:45:33.380><c> this</c><00:45:33.460><c> is</c><00:45:33.639><c> the</c><00:45:33.800><c> second</c><00:45:33.980><c> of</c><00:45:34.159><c> those.</c>

00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:36.320
It's<00:45:34.820><c> the</c><00:45:35.000><c> first</c><00:45:35.179><c> fruits</c><00:45:35.380><c> of</c><00:45:35.599><c> wheat</c><00:45:35.820><c> harvest.</c>

00:45:36.559 --> 00:45:40.159
And<00:45:36.880><c> it</c><00:45:37.079><c> takes</c><00:45:37.280><c> place</c><00:45:37.539><c> 50</c><00:45:37.840><c> days</c><00:45:38.199><c> after</c><00:45:38.900><c> the</c><00:45:39.739><c> Passover,</c>

00:45:40.159 --> 00:45:42.219
which<00:45:40.579><c> is</c><00:45:40.760><c> how</c><00:45:40.880><c> we</c><00:45:41.000><c> get,</c><00:45:41.159><c> of</c><00:45:41.239><c> course,</c><00:45:41.679><c> Pentecost.</c>

00:45:42.519 --> 00:45:44.579
And<00:45:42.599><c> Leviticus</c><00:45:42.960><c> 23</c><00:45:43.360><c> just</c><00:45:43.639><c> confirms</c><00:45:44.039><c> that</c><00:45:44.280><c> to</c><00:45:44.420><c> us.</c>

00:45:44.699 --> 00:45:45.840
So<00:45:44.820><c> the</c><00:45:45.079><c> timing</c><00:45:45.280><c> is</c><00:45:45.579><c> right.</c>

00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:48.619
It's<00:45:46.260><c> the</c><00:45:46.420><c> same</c><00:45:46.659><c> time</c><00:45:46.920><c> as</c><00:45:47.119><c> the</c><00:45:47.219><c> day</c><00:45:47.360><c> of</c><00:45:47.539><c> Pentecost.</c>

00:45:49.139 --> 00:45:53.099
Not<00:45:49.300><c> only</c><00:45:49.539><c> that,</c><00:45:49.860><c> though,</c><00:45:50.260><c> here</c><00:45:50.460><c> we</c><00:45:50.679><c> have</c><00:45:50.860><c> 3</c><00:45:51.179><c>,000</c><00:45:51.659><c> faithless</c><00:45:52.320><c> Judeans.</c>

00:45:53.539 --> 00:45:56.820
3<00:45:53.780><c>,000</c><00:45:54.079><c> men</c><00:45:54.280><c> of</c><00:45:54.460><c> Judah,</c><00:45:54.719><c> in</c><00:45:54.840><c> verse</c><00:45:55.039><c> 11,</c><00:45:56.119><c> take</c><00:45:56.340><c> Samson,</c>

00:45:57.139 --> 00:45:59.980
and<00:45:57.239><c> they're</c><00:45:57.400><c> too</c><00:45:57.639><c> cowardly</c><00:45:58.039><c> to</c><00:45:58.179><c> go</c><00:45:58.320><c> with</c><00:45:58.500><c> him</c><00:45:58.780><c> to</c><00:45:58.960><c> fight</c><00:45:59.199><c> against</c><00:45:59.440><c> the</c><00:45:59.619><c> Philistines.</c>

00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:02.420
They<00:46:00.340><c> merely</c><00:46:00.619><c> bind</c><00:46:00.900><c> him</c><00:46:01.039><c> and</c><00:46:01.179><c> hand</c><00:46:01.380><c> him</c><00:46:01.639><c> over.</c>

00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:05.400
We<00:46:03.159><c> get</c><00:46:03.320><c> the</c><00:46:03.519><c> opposite,</c><00:46:03.920><c> don't</c><00:46:03.920><c> we,</c><00:46:04.039><c> of</c><00:46:04.159><c> that</c><00:46:04.300><c> in</c><00:46:04.420><c> Acts,</c><00:46:04.639><c> chapter</c><00:46:04.900><c> 2.</c>

00:46:05.619 --> 00:46:08.420
We<00:46:05.840><c> have</c><00:46:06.059><c> the</c><00:46:06.239><c> men</c><00:46:06.420><c> of</c><00:46:06.699><c> Judah,</c><00:46:07.119><c> and</c><00:46:07.380><c> Peter</c><00:46:07.619><c> describes</c><00:46:08.059><c> them</c><00:46:08.219><c> as</c>

00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:18.780
because<00:46:15.179><c> they</c><00:46:15.480><c> repent</c><00:46:16.019><c> at</c><00:46:16.460><c> the</c><00:46:16.739><c> speech</c><00:46:17.000><c> of</c><00:46:17.300><c> Peter</c><00:46:17.599><c> and</c><00:46:18.280><c> turn</c>

00:46:19.860 --> 00:46:21.920
They<00:46:20.039><c> say,</c><00:46:20.320><c> men</c><00:46:20.480><c> and</c><00:46:20.599><c> brethren,</c><00:46:20.780><c> what</c><00:46:20.980><c> shall</c><00:46:21.239><c> we</c><00:46:21.460><c> do?</c>

00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:25.820
And<00:46:22.440><c> Peter</c><00:46:22.599><c> says,</c><00:46:23.039><c> repent</c><00:46:23.320><c> and</c><00:46:23.559><c> be</c><00:46:23.760><c> baptized,</c><00:46:24.539><c> every</c><00:46:24.699><c> one</c><00:46:24.880><c> of</c><00:46:25.059><c> you.</c>

The<00:46:56.219><c> Spirit</c><00:46:56.440><c> came</c><00:46:56.639><c> like</c><00:46:56.840><c> a</c><00:46:57.000><c> mighty</c><00:46:57.320><c> rushing</c><00:46:57.639><c> wind.</c>

00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:00.920
