00:01:20.420 --> 00:01:25.079
So<00:01:20.640><c> really</c><00:01:21.579><c> it</c><00:01:21.760><c> is</c><00:01:22.060><c> a</c><00:01:22.299><c> seven</c><00:01:22.620><c> and</c><00:01:22.900><c> eight</c><00:01:23.540><c> shepherd</c><00:01:23.959><c> kings.</c>

00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.860
Now<00:02:44.860><c> seven</c><00:02:45.099><c> is</c><00:02:45.300><c> the</c><00:02:45.539><c> complete</c><00:02:46.080><c> number,</c><00:02:46.580><c> isn't</c><00:02:46.699><c> it?</c>

00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:48.560
It's<00:02:46.960><c> the</c><00:02:47.020><c> number</c><00:02:47.240><c> of</c><00:02:47.680><c> completion.</c>

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.159
It<00:03:32.800><c> speaks</c><00:03:33.080><c> about</c><00:03:33.419><c> this</c><00:03:33.780><c> man</c><00:03:34.020><c> being</c><00:03:34.300><c> the</c><00:03:34.599><c> peace</c><00:03:34.800><c> when</c><00:03:34.979><c> the</c>

Then<00:03:40.719><c> it</c><00:03:40.780><c> says</c><00:03:41.000><c> in</c><00:03:41.180><c> verse</c><00:03:41.460><c> six,</c>

Isn't<00:05:48.600><c> that</c><00:05:48.860><c> remarkable?</c>

00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:54.160

00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:58.420

00:05:58.540 --> 00:06:01.040

same<00:06:08.420><c> power.</c>

00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.300
And<00:06:09.740><c> Hezekiah's</c><00:06:10.800><c> compatriots</c><00:06:11.600><c> in</c><00:06:11.980><c> the</c><00:06:12.139><c> leaders</c><00:06:12.360><c> of</c><00:06:12.579><c> the</c><00:06:12.699><c> Levites</c><00:06:13.120><c> and</c>

00:06:13.300 --> 00:06:14.300
the<00:06:13.519><c> chief</c><00:06:13.720><c> families,</c>

00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.120

00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:23.959
So<00:06:22.339><c> I</c><00:06:22.459><c> hope</c><00:06:22.620><c> that</c><00:06:23.000><c> tidies</c><00:06:23.199><c> that</c><00:06:23.379><c> little</c><00:06:23.540><c> matter</c><00:06:23.740><c> up.</c>

00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.279

00:06:26.339 --> 00:06:29.459
because<00:06:26.800><c> it</c><00:06:27.100><c> is</c><00:06:27.360><c> a</c><00:06:27.399><c> very,</c><00:06:27.740><c> very</c><00:06:27.980><c> interesting</c><00:06:28.500><c> point</c><00:06:28.959><c> in</c><00:06:29.160><c> that</c>

according<00:28:13.960><c> to</c><00:28:14.160><c> all</c><00:28:14.400><c> that</c><00:28:14.619><c> Yahweh</c><00:28:14.880><c> has</c><00:28:15.140><c> bestowed</c><00:28:15.500><c> on</c><00:28:15.680><c> us</c>

00:28:15.900 --> 00:28:18.480
and<00:28:16.059><c> the</c><00:28:16.319><c> great</c><00:28:16.720><c> goodness</c><00:28:17.220><c> toward</c><00:28:17.500><c> the</c><00:28:17.740><c> house</c><00:28:17.900><c> of</c><00:28:18.079><c> Israel,</c>

00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:21.680
which<00:28:19.099><c> he</c><00:28:19.299><c> has</c><00:28:19.480><c> bestowed</c><00:28:19.880><c> on</c><00:28:20.099><c> them</c><00:28:20.359><c> according</c><00:28:20.819><c> to</c><00:28:21.019><c> his</c><00:28:21.259><c> mercies,</c>

00:28:24.180 --> 00:28:26.200
And<00:28:24.420><c> then</c><00:28:24.559><c> the</c><00:28:24.779><c> prophet</c><00:28:24.980><c> goes</c><00:28:25.279><c> on</c><00:28:25.519><c> to</c><00:28:25.740><c> speak</c><00:28:25.940><c> about</c>

00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:31.440
There's<00:28:29.859><c> nothing</c><00:28:30.059><c> unreasonable,</c><00:28:30.900><c> brethren</c><00:28:31.019><c> and</c><00:28:31.299><c> sisters,</c>

00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:38.940
And<00:28:36.119><c> so</c><00:28:36.259><c> we</c><00:28:36.420><c> come</c><00:28:36.640><c> back</c><00:28:36.859><c> to</c><00:28:37.079><c> Micah</c><00:28:37.339><c> chapter</c><00:28:37.619><c> 6,</c>

00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:44.039
and<00:28:40.279><c> God</c><00:28:40.579><c> calls</c><00:28:40.940><c> upon</c><00:28:41.279><c> them</c><00:28:41.500><c> again</c><00:28:41.880><c> to</c><00:28:42.140><c> testify</c><00:28:42.559><c> against</c><00:28:42.940><c> him.</c>

00:28:44.339 --> 00:28:47.420
Now<00:28:44.539><c> he's</c><00:28:44.759><c> just</c><00:28:45.059><c> defended</c><00:28:45.400><c> himself</c><00:28:45.940><c> with</c><00:28:46.200><c> the</c><00:28:46.440><c> point</c>

00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:51.700

00:28:52.900 --> 00:28:57.220
Those<00:28:53.420><c> wearied</c><00:28:54.000><c> with</c><00:28:54.240><c> ceremony</c><00:28:54.740><c> are</c><00:28:55.299><c> the</c><00:28:55.640><c> immature</c><00:28:56.140><c> and</c><00:28:56.440><c> the</c><00:28:56.740><c> disobedient.</c>

00:28:57.299 --> 00:28:59.460
They<00:28:57.480><c> will</c><00:28:57.819><c> always</c><00:28:58.359><c> be</c><00:28:58.680><c> wearied</c><00:28:58.920><c> with</c><00:28:59.119><c> discipline.</c>

00:28:59.460 --> 00:29:02.200
Others<00:29:00.359><c> will</c><00:29:00.859><c> have</c><00:29:01.160><c> no</c><00:29:01.500><c> such</c><00:29:01.759><c> discipline.</c>

00:29:02.539 --> 00:29:05.559
God<00:29:02.700><c> has</c><00:29:03.039><c> not</c><00:29:03.279><c> wearied</c><00:29:03.579><c> them.</c><00:29:03.960><c> It's</c><00:29:04.259><c> their</c><00:29:04.460><c> own</c><00:29:04.759><c> fault.</c>

00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:09.819
Now<00:29:05.920><c> he</c><00:29:06.099><c> says,</c><00:29:07.380><c> testify</c><00:29:07.940><c> against</c><00:29:08.420><c> me.</c>

00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:13.420
Well,<00:29:11.200><c> who</c><00:29:11.380><c> could</c><00:29:11.619><c> testify</c><00:29:12.099><c> against</c><00:29:12.480><c> him?</c>

00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:15.940
But<00:29:13.920><c> do</c><00:29:14.000><c> you</c><00:29:14.000><c> know</c><00:29:14.039><c> what</c><00:29:14.220><c> God</c><00:29:14.480><c> then</c><00:29:14.720><c> next</c><00:29:14.900><c> does,</c><00:29:15.359><c> brethren</c><00:29:15.500><c> and</c><00:29:15.779><c> sisters?</c>

00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:18.039
He<00:29:16.220><c> takes</c><00:29:16.539><c> a</c><00:29:16.740><c> step</c><00:29:16.940><c> forward.</c>

00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:22.200
Takes<00:29:20.539><c> another</c><00:29:20.880><c> step</c><00:29:21.180><c> forward.</c>

00:29:22.579 --> 00:29:25.119
Not<00:29:22.920><c> only</c><00:29:23.440><c> has</c><00:29:23.759><c> he</c><00:29:23.920><c> not</c><00:29:24.220><c> wearied</c><00:29:24.500><c> them,</c>

00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:31.039
but<00:29:25.839><c> now</c><00:29:26.119><c> he</c><00:29:26.240><c> wants</c><00:29:26.500><c> to</c><00:29:26.759><c> show</c><00:29:26.960><c> them</c><00:29:27.259><c> what</c><00:29:27.539><c> he</c><00:29:27.720><c> has</c><00:29:27.960><c> done</c><00:29:28.920><c> for</c><00:29:30.079><c> them.</c>

00:29:31.980 --> 00:29:34.119
And<00:29:32.079><c> the</c><00:29:32.299><c> point</c><00:29:32.460><c> he's</c><00:29:32.680><c> going</c><00:29:32.839><c> to</c><00:29:33.059><c> make</c><00:29:33.220><c> at</c><00:29:33.440><c> the</c><00:29:33.559><c> end</c><00:29:33.740><c> of</c><00:29:33.920><c> verse</c>

5<00:29:34.460><c> is</c>

00:29:35.019 --> 00:29:38.819
that<00:29:35.380><c> he</c><00:29:35.599><c> may</c><00:29:35.960><c> know</c><00:29:36.779><c> the</c><00:29:37.279><c> righteousness</c><00:29:37.940><c> of</c><00:29:38.420><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:41.440
Now,<00:29:39.880><c> you</c><00:29:40.039><c> listen</c><00:29:40.240><c> to</c><00:29:40.440><c> this.</c>

00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:44.640
What<00:29:42.500><c> is</c><00:29:42.759><c> the</c><00:29:42.980><c> righteousness</c><00:29:43.400><c> of</c><00:29:43.720><c> Yahweh?</c>

00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:49.400
Well,<00:29:45.960><c> it's</c><00:29:46.160><c> not</c><00:29:46.519><c> so</c><00:29:46.940><c> much</c><00:29:47.180><c> his</c><00:29:47.500><c> righteous</c><00:29:48.059><c> acts,</c>

question<00:29:54.059><c> here.</c>

00:29:54.339 --> 00:29:58.920
Though<00:29:55.319><c> that</c><00:29:55.519><c> is</c><00:29:55.839><c> part</c><00:29:56.099><c> and</c><00:29:56.299><c> parcel,</c><00:29:56.640><c> of</c><00:29:56.859><c> course,</c><00:29:57.519><c> of</c><00:29:57.579><c> his</c><00:29:57.799><c> righteousness.</c>

00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.980
It's<00:30:00.220><c> not</c><00:30:00.420><c> that</c><00:30:00.559><c> he's</c><00:30:00.759><c> going</c><00:30:00.920><c> to</c><00:30:01.160><c> justify,</c><00:30:01.839><c> brethren</c><00:30:02.279><c> and</c><00:30:02.539><c> sisters,</c><00:30:02.839><c> his</c>

Though<00:30:05.619><c> that</c><00:30:05.839><c> goes</c><00:30:06.099><c> with</c><00:30:06.299><c> it</c><00:30:06.519><c> too,</c><00:30:06.640><c> but</c><00:30:06.740><c> that's</c><00:30:06.960><c> not</c><00:30:07.259><c> the</c>

00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:20.279
As<00:30:15.819><c> Paul</c><00:30:16.119><c> says</c><00:30:16.400><c> in</c><00:30:16.559><c> Romans</c><00:30:16.940><c> 10,</c><00:30:17.640><c> being</c><00:30:18.019><c> ignorant</c><00:30:18.660><c> of</c><00:30:19.039><c> God's</c><00:30:19.660><c> righteousness</c>

00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:31.039
That's<00:30:29.480><c> the</c><00:30:29.640><c> righteousness</c><00:30:30.000><c> that</c><00:30:30.200><c> he's</c><00:30:30.359><c> talking</c><00:30:30.660><c> about.</c>

00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:35.180
It's<00:30:31.720><c> the</c><00:30:31.960><c> means</c><00:30:32.240><c> that</c><00:30:32.460><c> he</c><00:30:32.660><c> has</c><00:30:33.099><c> adopted</c><00:30:33.480><c> for</c><00:30:33.900><c> your</c><00:30:34.380><c> and</c><00:30:34.819><c> for</c>

my<00:30:35.500><c> salvation.</c>

00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:40.279
And<00:30:38.220><c> we</c><00:30:38.420><c> get</c><00:30:38.559><c> into</c><00:30:38.740><c> the</c><00:30:38.980><c> kingdom,</c><00:30:39.420><c> brethren</c><00:30:39.539><c> and</c><00:30:39.779><c> sisters,</c><00:30:40.059><c> on</c>

00:30:46.579 --> 00:30:50.640
And<00:30:47.240><c> he</c><00:30:47.400><c> says,</c><00:30:47.980><c> all</c><00:30:47.980><c> the</c><00:30:48.220><c> things</c><00:30:48.339><c> you've</c><00:30:48.579><c> been</c><00:30:48.759><c> complaining</c><00:30:49.240><c> about</c>

In<00:39:56.659><c> their</c><00:39:56.940><c> hearts</c><00:39:57.179><c> they</c><00:39:57.380><c> turned</c><00:39:57.619><c> back</c><00:39:57.900><c> into</c><00:39:58.119><c> Egypt.</c>

00:39:58.860 --> 00:40:00.960
They<00:39:58.940><c> had</c><00:39:59.119><c> worshipped</c><00:39:59.480><c> a</c><00:39:59.679><c> golden</c><00:40:00.000><c> calf.</c>

And<00:41:39.340><c> you</c><00:41:39.599><c> think</c><00:41:39.739><c> what</c><00:41:39.940><c> you've</c><00:41:40.219><c> done</c><00:41:40.340><c> in</c><00:41:40.539><c> the</c><00:41:40.599><c> last</c><00:41:40.860><c> week.</c>

00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:52.099
For<00:41:51.059><c> sin,</c><00:41:51.500><c> brethren</c><00:41:51.639><c> and</c><00:41:51.880><c> sisters,</c>

but<00:41:55.760><c> of</c><00:41:55.980><c> coming</c><00:41:56.280><c> short</c><00:41:56.599><c> of</c><00:41:56.719><c> the</c><00:41:56.880><c> glory</c><00:41:57.139><c> of</c><00:41:57.380><c> God.</c>

00:41:59.199 --> 00:42:00.980
When<00:41:59.460><c> you've</c><00:41:59.780><c> titled</c><00:41:59.940><c> the</c><00:42:00.159><c> letter,</c>

00:42:04.019 --> 00:42:06.599
And<00:42:04.260><c> then</c><00:42:04.440><c> God</c><00:42:04.659><c> comes</c><00:42:05.019><c> and</c><00:42:05.219><c> brings</c><00:42:05.420><c> you</c><00:42:05.559><c> to</c><00:42:05.659><c> the</c><00:42:05.860><c> table</c><00:42:06.039><c> and</c><00:42:06.260><c> says,</c>

00:42:10.539 --> 00:42:12.699
And<00:42:10.920><c> we</c><00:42:11.059><c> complain</c><00:42:11.519><c> and</c><00:42:11.800><c> say,</c>

the<00:42:13.320><c> truth</c><00:42:13.719><c> is</c><00:42:14.099><c> very</c><00:42:14.440><c> wearying.</c>

00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:17.679
Too<00:42:16.400><c> many</c><00:42:16.679><c> meetings.</c>

00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:23.059
It's<00:42:22.000><c> unreasonable.</c>

00:42:24.739 --> 00:42:26.320
There<00:42:24.960><c> ought</c><00:42:25.039><c> to</c><00:42:25.119><c> be</c><00:42:25.260><c> more</c><00:42:25.519><c> leisure.</c>

Is<00:42:28.019><c> it</c><00:42:28.219><c> necessary?</c>

00:42:31.019 --> 00:42:32.699
Oh,<00:42:31.400><c> my</c><00:42:31.679><c> people,</c>

00:42:33.579 --> 00:42:37.440

00:42:37.500 --> 00:42:39.539
And<00:42:37.699><c> finally,</c><00:42:38.159><c> brethren</c><00:42:38.300><c> and</c><00:42:38.579><c> sisters,</c>

00:42:45.820 --> 00:42:49.159
So<00:42:46.019><c> they</c><00:42:46.219><c> came</c><00:42:46.739><c> to</c><00:42:47.079><c> Shittim</c><00:42:47.420><c> from</c><00:42:47.659><c> the</c><00:42:47.860><c> plains</c><00:42:48.079><c> of</c><00:42:48.340><c> Moa,</c>

Brothers<00:56:56.119><c> and</c><00:56:56.400><c> sisters,</c><00:56:57.079><c> what</c>

00:56:57.460 --> 00:56:59.699

Metaphysically,<00:57:07.380><c> nothing.</c>

Emotionally,<00:57:10.900><c> nothing.</c>

00:57:13.199 --> 00:57:14.099
Characteristically,

Why<00:57:17.280><c> then</c>

01:06:06.300 --> 01:06:08.360
Well,<01:06:06.460><c> let's</c><01:06:06.619><c> have</c><01:06:06.780><c> a</c><01:06:06.820><c> look,</c><01:06:06.980><c> brethren</c><01:06:07.280><c> and</c><01:06:07.539><c> sisters,</c><01:06:07.760><c> just</c><01:06:08.059><c> briefly</c>

01:06:08.360 --> 01:06:10.880

01:06:19.480 --> 01:06:20.579
Very<01:06:20.000><c> interesting</c>

01:06:20.579 --> 01:06:22.300

You<01:06:23.780><c> know,</c>

01:06:24.780 --> 01:06:26.500
our<01:06:25.000><c> problem</c><01:06:25.500><c> consists</c><01:06:26.079><c> of</c><01:06:26.300><c> not</c>

01:06:26.500 --> 01:06:28.260

01:06:31.400 --> 01:06:32.880
You<01:06:31.599><c> look</c><01:06:31.780><c> at</c><01:06:31.920><c> that.</c>

01:06:33.880 --> 01:06:35.300
We<01:06:34.179><c> must</c>

01:06:36.320 --> 01:06:38.019
do<01:06:36.920><c> justly</c>

01:06:39.900 --> 01:06:41.099
but<01:06:40.500><c> love</c>

01:06:41.099 --> 01:06:42.480
mercy.

01:06:43.519 --> 01:06:44.519
Though<01:06:43.920><c> the</c><01:06:44.099><c> attributes</c>

01:06:52.380 --> 01:06:54.059
Do<01:06:52.559><c> you</c><01:06:52.699><c> just</c><01:06:52.900><c> think</c><01:06:53.039><c> that</c><01:06:53.219><c> that's</c><01:06:53.500><c> what</c>

01:06:54.059 --> 01:06:56.179
God's<01:06:54.480><c> character</c><01:06:54.619><c> is</c><01:06:54.739><c> made</c><01:06:54.960><c> up</c><01:06:55.119><c> of,</c><01:06:55.559><c> justice</c><01:06:55.920><c> and</c>

mercy?<01:06:56.460><c> Is</c><01:06:56.539><c> that</c><01:06:56.719><c> what</c><01:06:56.860><c> your</c><01:06:56.980><c> view</c><01:06:57.139><c> of</c><01:06:57.199><c> it</c><01:06:57.340><c> is?</c>

01:07:00.780 --> 01:07:01.920
I<01:07:00.960><c> don't</c><01:07:01.139><c> know</c><01:07:01.280><c> whether</c><01:07:01.400><c> it</c><01:07:01.480><c> is</c><01:07:01.619><c> or</c><01:07:01.739><c> not.</c>

01:07:01.980 --> 01:07:03.559
That's<01:07:02.239><c> not</c><01:07:02.599><c> the</c><01:07:02.780><c> point</c><01:07:02.980><c> being</c><01:07:03.260><c> made.</c>

all<01:07:06.739><c> the</c><01:07:06.980><c> attributes</c><01:07:07.420><c> of</c><01:07:07.639><c> the</c><01:07:07.860><c> deity.</c>

01:07:09.719 --> 01:07:10.619
But<01:07:09.840><c> you</c><01:07:10.000><c> see,</c><01:07:10.360><c> brethren</c><01:07:10.420><c> and</c>

Who<01:07:27.860><c> knows</c><01:07:28.179><c> that?</c>

01:07:30.079 --> 01:07:30.860
Who<01:07:30.260><c> knows</c><01:07:30.539><c> when</c><01:07:30.719><c> to</c>

01:07:43.960 --> 01:07:45.460
I'll<01:07:44.280><c> tell</c><01:07:44.420><c> you,</c><01:07:44.619><c> someone</c><01:07:44.739><c> who</c><01:07:45.000><c> doesn't,</c>

01:07:52.519 --> 01:07:54.300
That's<01:07:52.780><c> why</c><01:07:52.980><c> we</c><01:07:53.179><c> got</c><01:07:53.340><c> them.</c>
