00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:17.250
I'm<00:00:14.519><c> happy</c><00:00:14.779><c> now</c><00:00:15.119><c> to</c><00:00:15.279><c> call</c><00:00:15.519><c> upon</c><00:00:15.980><c> Brother</c><00:00:16.339><c> Hodge.</c>

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:33.939
Good<00:00:32.780><c> morning.</c>

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.539
Someone<00:00:37.200><c> said</c><00:00:37.520><c> yesterday</c><00:00:38.439><c> or</c><00:00:39.179><c> asked</c><00:00:39.500><c> me</c><00:00:39.740><c> whether</c><00:00:39.979><c> or</c><00:00:40.259><c> not</c><00:00:40.259><c> the</c>

00:00:40.539 --> 00:00:43.280
stories<00:00:40.820><c> I</c><00:00:41.020><c> was</c><00:00:41.240><c> telling</c><00:00:41.460><c> was</c><00:00:41.799><c> actually</c><00:00:42.219><c> true.</c>

00:00:43.780 --> 00:00:47.740
Of<00:00:43.859><c> course,</c><00:00:44.079><c> I</c><00:00:44.119><c> wouldn't</c><00:00:44.340><c> deceive</c><00:00:44.780><c> you.</c><00:00:46.280><c> They</c><00:00:46.619><c> are</c><00:00:46.759><c> true.</c>

00:00:47.859 --> 00:00:50.659
But<00:00:48.000><c> nobody</c><00:00:48.280><c> should</c><00:00:48.520><c> be</c><00:00:48.899><c> dreaming</c><00:00:49.240><c> about</c><00:00:49.840><c> snakes</c><00:00:50.280><c> at</c><00:00:50.539><c> night.</c>

00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:52.820
I<00:00:50.740><c> hope</c><00:00:50.899><c> no</c><00:00:51.079><c> one</c><00:00:51.200><c> is</c><00:00:51.399><c> having</c><00:00:51.759><c> nightmares.</c>

00:00:53.060 --> 00:00:56.939
Remember,<00:00:53.520><c> there's</c><00:00:53.719><c> only</c><00:00:54.200><c> 15</c><00:00:54.899><c> deaths</c><00:00:55.340><c> a</c><00:00:55.439><c> year</c><00:00:55.840><c> in</c><00:00:56.000><c> North</c><00:00:56.299><c> America.</c>

00:00:56.939 --> 00:01:01.859
And<00:00:57.799><c> most</c><00:00:58.140><c> of</c><00:00:58.320><c> those</c><00:00:58.520><c> come</c><00:00:58.840><c> from</c><00:00:59.340><c> people</c><00:00:59.799><c> who</c><00:01:00.039><c> are</c><00:01:00.280><c> looking</c><00:01:00.560><c> for</c><00:01:00.859><c> trouble</c><00:01:01.299><c> or</c>

who<00:01:02.140><c> have</c><00:01:02.799><c> snakes</c><00:01:03.119><c> as</c><00:01:03.460><c> pets.</c>

00:01:04.379 --> 00:01:06.780
So<00:01:04.439><c> there</c><00:01:04.480><c> really</c><00:01:04.739><c> isn't</c><00:01:04.920><c> anything</c><00:01:05.239><c> to</c><00:01:05.500><c> worry</c><00:01:05.760><c> about</c><00:01:06.040><c> in</c><00:01:06.239><c> relation</c><00:01:06.599><c> to</c>

00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:12.700
There's<00:01:09.980><c> a</c><00:01:10.079><c> little</c><00:01:10.200><c> piece</c><00:01:10.359><c> of</c><00:01:10.579><c> advice</c><00:01:11.000><c> that</c><00:01:11.859><c> has</c><00:01:12.120><c> been</c><00:01:12.420><c> given</c>

as<00:01:16.040><c> a</c><00:01:16.239><c> pet.</c>

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.939
You're<00:01:17.819><c> advised</c><00:01:18.340><c> to</c><00:01:18.540><c> first</c><00:01:18.739><c> of</c><00:01:18.879><c> all</c><00:01:18.980><c> get</c><00:01:19.239><c> yourself</c><00:01:19.840><c> a</c><00:01:21.219><c> rather</c>

00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.400

00:01:36.900 --> 00:01:41.620

00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:46.359
One<00:01:45.079><c> more</c><00:01:45.400><c> story.</c>

00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.620
One<00:01:47.480><c> day,</c><00:01:47.780><c> a</c><00:01:47.939><c> man</c><00:01:48.140><c> wanted</c><00:01:48.459><c> to</c><00:01:48.760><c> be</c><00:01:49.120><c> the</c><00:01:49.739><c> life</c><00:01:49.939><c> of</c><00:01:50.099><c> the</c><00:01:50.319><c> party.</c>

00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:55.120
And<00:01:51.019><c> so</c><00:01:51.359><c> to</c><00:01:51.760><c> this</c><00:01:52.060><c> party,</c><00:01:52.540><c> he</c><00:01:52.579><c> brought</c><00:01:53.040><c> a</c><00:01:54.099><c> baby</c><00:01:54.579><c> python.</c>

00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.739
This<00:01:55.719><c> would</c><00:01:55.980><c> liven</c><00:01:56.239><c> things</c><00:01:56.500><c> up</c><00:01:56.719><c> a</c><00:01:56.819><c> little</c><00:01:57.000><c> bit.</c>

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.659
And<00:01:58.379><c> he</c><00:01:58.879><c> took</c><00:01:59.060><c> it</c><00:01:59.219><c> out</c><00:01:59.379><c> of</c><00:01:59.480><c> the</c><00:01:59.719><c> bag.</c>

00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.200
It<00:02:01.000><c> bit</c><00:02:01.060><c> him</c><00:02:01.239><c> a</c><00:02:01.359><c> few</c><00:02:01.500><c> times</c><00:02:02.000><c> in</c><00:02:02.420><c> the</c><00:02:02.780><c> hand.</c>

00:02:03.620 --> 00:02:06.019
And<00:02:03.819><c> five</c><00:02:03.980><c> minutes</c><00:02:04.260><c> later,</c><00:02:04.579><c> he</c><00:02:04.700><c> had</c><00:02:04.980><c> a</c><00:02:05.239><c> coughing</c><00:02:05.540><c> fit</c><00:02:05.840><c> and</c>

00:02:06.019 --> 00:02:07.219
fell<00:02:06.299><c> dead.</c>

00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.240
It<00:02:07.659><c> turns</c><00:02:07.959><c> out</c><00:02:08.259><c> that</c><00:02:08.400><c> it</c><00:02:08.539><c> wasn't</c><00:02:08.759><c> a</c><00:02:08.919><c> baby</c><00:02:09.159><c> python.</c>

00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.800
It<00:02:10.460><c> was,</c><00:02:10.900><c> in</c><00:02:11.020><c> fact,</c><00:02:11.280><c> a</c><00:02:11.460><c> very</c><00:02:11.919><c> venomous</c><00:02:12.419><c> snake,</c><00:02:12.879><c> only</c><00:02:13.120><c> about</c><00:02:13.400><c> 60</c>

00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:20.580
The<00:02:15.879><c> point</c><00:02:16.139><c> is,</c><00:02:16.840><c> is</c><00:02:16.840><c> that</c><00:02:17.560><c> the</c><00:02:18.419><c> message</c><00:02:18.860><c> we've</c><00:02:19.319><c> been</c><00:02:19.680><c> conveying</c><00:02:20.199><c> from</c><00:02:20.400><c> the</c>

00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.500
be<00:02:23.759><c> wary</c><00:02:24.300><c> of</c><00:02:25.400><c> the</c><00:02:25.639><c> serpent,</c>

00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.840

00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.500
Lest<00:02:30.620><c> he</c><00:02:30.780><c> get</c><00:02:30.960><c> an</c><00:02:31.180><c> advantage</c><00:02:31.780><c> over</c><00:02:32.219><c> us,</c><00:02:32.639><c> for</c><00:02:32.819><c> we</c><00:02:33.020><c> are</c><00:02:33.199><c> not</c><00:02:33.419><c> ignorant</c><00:02:33.919><c> of</c>

his<00:02:34.780><c> devices,</c><00:02:35.620><c> says</c><00:02:35.699><c> the</c><00:02:35.960><c> Apostle</c><00:02:36.360><c> Paul.</c>

00:02:37.460 --> 00:02:39.039
That's<00:02:37.919><c> the</c><00:02:38.039><c> Bible</c><00:02:38.340><c> message.</c>

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:40.280
And<00:02:39.580><c> it's</c><00:02:39.680><c> very</c><00:02:40.080><c> clear.</c>

00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:41.919

This<00:02:42.580><c> is</c><00:02:42.719><c> why</c><00:02:42.919><c> all</c><00:02:43.199><c> of</c><00:02:43.379><c> this</c><00:02:43.740><c> analogy</c><00:02:44.219><c> is</c><00:02:44.500><c> developed</c><00:02:44.840><c> in</c><00:02:45.020><c> the</c>

00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:56.860
So<00:02:54.180><c> let</c><00:02:54.599><c> us</c><00:02:55.199><c> treat</c><00:02:55.439><c> the</c><00:02:55.699><c> enemy</c><00:02:55.979><c> seriously.</c>

00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:02.300

00:03:04.740 --> 00:03:08.439
Now,<00:03:05.680><c> we're</c><00:03:05.939><c> going</c><00:03:06.219><c> to</c><00:03:06.780><c> consider</c><00:03:07.060><c> a</c><00:03:07.199><c> number</c><00:03:07.520><c> of</c><00:03:07.819><c> sundry</c><00:03:08.139><c> items</c>

00:03:56.539 --> 00:04:00.340
We<00:03:56.840><c> need</c><00:03:57.060><c> to</c><00:03:57.219><c> be</c><00:03:57.400><c> sincere</c><00:03:57.879><c> and</c><00:03:58.219><c> honest</c><00:03:58.659><c> with</c><00:03:59.000><c> ourselves.</c>

00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.460
And<00:04:00.599><c> we</c><00:04:00.639><c> can</c><00:04:00.819><c> think</c><00:04:00.919><c> we're</c><00:04:01.020><c> going</c><00:04:01.280><c> along</c><00:04:01.539><c> very</c><00:04:01.919><c> nicely</c><00:04:02.360><c> in</c><00:04:02.659><c> life</c><00:04:03.219><c> and</c>

00:04:15.780 --> 00:04:20.420
Life<00:04:16.060><c> is</c><00:04:16.379><c> like</c><00:04:16.660><c> that</c><00:04:16.939><c> where</c><00:04:17.819><c> the</c><00:04:18.279><c> serpent</c><00:04:18.779><c> takes</c><00:04:19.600><c> advantage</c>

of<00:04:26.480><c> life.</c>

00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:29.860
We<00:04:27.879><c> often</c><00:04:28.139><c> look</c><00:04:28.339><c> at</c><00:04:28.600><c> all</c><00:04:28.860><c> of</c><00:04:28.980><c> the</c><00:04:29.139><c> things</c><00:04:29.339><c> that</c><00:04:29.480><c> we're</c><00:04:29.639><c> doing</c>

00:04:29.860 --> 00:04:33.740
well<00:04:30.240><c> and</c><00:04:30.500><c> think</c><00:04:30.759><c> that</c><00:04:31.000><c> things</c><00:04:31.339><c> are</c><00:04:31.519><c> going</c><00:04:31.879><c> quite</c><00:04:32.519><c> good</c><00:04:32.779><c> in</c><00:04:33.019><c> life.</c>

00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.100
But<00:04:34.220><c> the</c><00:04:34.379><c> serpent</c><00:04:34.579><c> has</c><00:04:34.860><c> a</c><00:04:34.920><c> way</c><00:04:35.120><c> of</c><00:04:35.220><c> getting</c><00:04:35.480><c> to</c><00:04:35.759><c> our</c><00:04:36.019><c> weakness.</c>

We<00:04:41.439><c> tend</c><00:04:41.660><c> to</c><00:04:41.779><c> think</c><00:04:41.899><c> everybody</c><00:04:42.339><c> else's</c><00:04:42.980><c> problems,</c><00:04:43.720><c> which</c><00:04:43.860><c> are</c>

00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.720
We<00:04:52.160><c> understand</c><00:04:52.680><c> why</c><00:04:52.899><c> we</c><00:04:53.160><c> have</c><00:04:53.379><c> that</c><00:04:53.620><c> problem,</c><00:04:54.000><c> why</c><00:04:54.240><c> that's</c><00:04:54.600><c> a</c>

What's<00:07:59.420><c> our</c><00:07:59.699><c> major</c><00:08:00.199><c> issue</c><00:08:00.699><c> as</c><00:08:01.240><c> a</c><00:08:01.500><c> community</c><00:08:01.839><c> to</c><00:08:02.060><c> deal</c><00:08:02.279><c> with</c><00:08:02.480><c> in</c>

00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:11.060
Well,<00:08:07.259><c> I</c><00:08:07.759><c> think</c><00:08:07.939><c> it's</c><00:08:08.160><c> very</c><00:08:08.459><c> much</c><00:08:09.100><c> like</c><00:08:09.540><c> what</c><00:08:09.720><c> we're</c><00:08:10.019><c> told</c><00:08:10.459><c> in</c>

00:08:11.060 --> 00:08:13.720
Judges<00:08:11.540><c> 21</c><00:08:12.100><c>-25.</c>

00:08:14.420 --> 00:08:17.839
In<00:08:14.620><c> those</c><00:08:15.100><c> days</c><00:08:15.480><c> there</c><00:08:15.699><c> was</c><00:08:16.019><c> no</c><00:08:16.439><c> king</c><00:08:16.959><c> in</c><00:08:17.300><c> Israel.</c>

00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:23.800
Every<00:08:19.180><c> man</c><00:08:19.519><c> did</c><00:08:19.699><c> that</c><00:08:19.980><c> which</c><00:08:20.139><c> was</c><00:08:20.519><c> right</c><00:08:21.100><c> in</c><00:08:21.720><c> his</c><00:08:22.060><c> own</c><00:08:22.480><c> eyes.</c>

00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.980
Now,<00:08:24.860><c> it</c><00:08:24.879><c> doesn't</c><00:08:25.120><c> say</c><00:08:25.439><c> that</c><00:08:25.620><c> our</c><00:08:25.860><c> day</c><00:08:26.180><c> is</c><00:08:26.759><c> like</c><00:08:27.060><c> that.</c>

00:08:28.300 --> 00:08:31.579
But<00:08:28.560><c> we</c><00:08:28.680><c> know</c><00:08:28.860><c> there</c><00:08:29.019><c> was</c><00:08:29.180><c> a</c><00:08:29.399><c> period</c><00:08:29.839><c> in</c><00:08:30.779><c> the</c><00:08:30.939><c> Judges</c><00:08:31.259><c> that</c><00:08:31.379><c> was</c>

00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:39.399
And<00:08:34.919><c> this</c><00:08:35.500><c> seems</c><00:08:35.919><c> to</c><00:08:36.200><c> typify</c><00:08:36.659><c> our</c><00:08:37.000><c> age</c><00:08:37.340><c> better</c><00:08:37.720><c> than</c><00:08:37.980><c> anything</c><00:08:38.259><c> else.</c>

00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:43.440
But<00:08:39.860><c> there</c><00:08:40.100><c> are</c><00:08:40.480><c> passages</c><00:08:40.779><c> which</c><00:08:41.159><c> do</c><00:08:41.500><c> speak</c><00:08:41.899><c> of</c><00:08:42.220><c> our</c><00:08:42.539><c> day.</c>

00:08:53.500 --> 00:08:57.700
They<00:08:53.679><c> did</c><00:08:53.879><c> eat,</c><00:08:54.179><c> they</c><00:08:54.419><c> drank,</c><00:08:54.879><c> they</c><00:08:55.100><c> married</c><00:08:55.919><c> wives,</c><00:08:56.620><c> they</c><00:08:56.759><c> were</c><00:08:56.980><c> given</c><00:08:57.159><c> in</c><00:08:57.399><c> marriage</c>

00:08:57.700 --> 00:09:00.200
until<00:08:57.980><c> the</c><00:08:58.179><c> day</c><00:08:58.440><c> that</c><00:08:58.679><c> Noah</c><00:08:58.899><c> entered</c><00:08:59.159><c> into</c><00:08:59.419><c> the</c><00:08:59.659><c> ark</c><00:08:59.820><c> and</c><00:08:59.980><c> the</c>

00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:04.679
So<00:09:02.460><c> if</c><00:09:02.580><c> you're</c><00:09:02.580><c> looking</c><00:09:02.860><c> for</c><00:09:03.100><c> the</c><00:09:03.399><c> passages</c><00:09:03.899><c> that</c><00:09:04.399><c> describe</c>

In<00:11:54.039><c> fact,</c><00:11:54.419><c> it</c><00:11:54.419><c> goes</c><00:11:54.639><c> so</c><00:11:55.039><c> far</c><00:11:55.340><c> that</c><00:11:56.440><c> humanism</c><00:11:56.980><c> has</c><00:11:57.240><c> told</c><00:11:57.379><c> us</c><00:11:57.559><c> that</c><00:11:57.720><c> we</c>

00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.379
Now<00:12:34.080><c> let</c><00:12:34.259><c> us</c><00:12:35.019><c> survey</c><00:12:35.580><c> briefly</c><00:12:36.879><c> this</c><00:12:37.940><c> chart</c><00:12:38.340><c> which</c><00:12:38.639><c> summarized</c>

00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:48.419

00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:54.059
I'm<00:12:50.940><c> hoping</c><00:12:51.399><c> that</c><00:12:51.860><c> everyone</c><00:12:52.360><c> can</c><00:12:52.779><c> feel</c><00:12:53.019><c> very</c><00:12:53.559><c> clear</c><00:12:53.700><c> in</c><00:12:53.879><c> their</c>

00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:02.360
Very<00:13:00.039><c> simply</c><00:13:00.500><c> that,</c><00:13:01.480><c> sin.</c>

00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:06.659
And<00:13:02.580><c> sin</c><00:13:02.659><c> is</c><00:13:02.879><c> the</c><00:13:03.200><c> transgression</c><00:13:03.919><c> of</c><00:13:04.419><c> the</c><00:13:04.659><c> law</c><00:13:04.899><c> in</c><00:13:05.460><c> our</c><00:13:05.759><c> thoughts,</c><00:13:06.379><c> in</c><00:13:06.460><c> our</c>

00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:16.480
It's<00:13:08.759><c> at</c><00:13:08.919><c> the</c><00:13:09.159><c> head,</c><00:13:10.240><c> represented</c><00:13:10.919><c> by</c><00:13:11.419><c> the</c><00:13:11.679><c> serpent,</c><00:13:14.580><c> and</c><00:13:14.580><c> it's</c><00:13:15.240><c> personified</c><00:13:16.120><c> in</c>

00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.720
But<00:13:19.379><c> it</c><00:13:19.759><c> manifests</c><00:13:20.320><c> itself</c><00:13:20.879><c> in</c><00:13:21.120><c> many</c><00:13:21.379><c> forms.</c>

00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:26.039
And<00:13:23.399><c> ultimately</c><00:13:23.879><c> it</c><00:13:24.159><c> brings</c><00:13:24.759><c> death.</c>

00:13:26.379 --> 00:13:30.659
And<00:13:26.620><c> death</c><00:13:26.840><c> is</c><00:13:27.100><c> that</c><00:13:27.399><c> last</c><00:13:27.899><c> enemy</c><00:13:28.279><c> to</c><00:13:28.620><c> be</c><00:13:28.820><c> destroyed,</c><00:13:30.179><c> as</c><00:13:30.440><c> the</c>

00:13:33.220 --> 00:13:38.259

00:14:53.620 --> 00:14:58.659

00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.259
We<00:16:53.980><c> recognize</c><00:16:54.659><c> that</c><00:16:55.179><c> and</c><00:16:55.679><c> that's</c><00:16:55.919><c> why</c><00:16:56.080><c> we</c><00:16:56.299><c> appreciate</c><00:16:56.940><c> being</c>

00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:11.859
Now,<00:17:09.579><c> we're</c><00:17:09.799><c> on</c><00:17:09.920><c> very</c><00:17:10.200><c> dangerous</c><00:17:10.740><c> ground.</c>

00:17:12.779 --> 00:17:19.940
And<00:17:13.039><c> so</c><00:17:13.680><c> we're</c><00:17:14.559><c> exhorted</c><00:17:15.039><c> to</c><00:17:16.559><c> follow</c><00:17:17.079><c> the</c><00:17:17.420><c> example</c><00:17:18.000><c> of</c><00:17:18.940><c> our</c><00:17:19.200><c> Lord</c><00:17:19.519><c> who</c><00:17:19.680><c> is</c>

00:17:32.180 --> 00:17:34.640
He<00:17:32.359><c> loves</c><00:17:32.660><c> us</c><00:17:32.940><c> and</c><00:17:33.039><c> will</c><00:17:33.240><c> work</c><00:17:33.420><c> with</c><00:17:33.680><c> us</c><00:17:34.079><c> patiently.</c>

00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:40.180

If<00:22:01.839><c> it</c><00:22:01.940><c> was</c><00:22:02.099><c> just</c><00:22:02.299><c> all</c><00:22:02.460><c> the</c><00:22:02.720><c> possible</c><00:22:03.140><c> enemies</c><00:22:03.480><c> that</c><00:22:03.720><c> we</c><00:22:03.920><c> think</c>

00:23:14.339 --> 00:23:18.079

00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:21.599

00:23:27.460 --> 00:23:30.440
we'll<00:23:27.519><c> think</c><00:23:27.640><c> they're</c><00:23:27.900><c> silly,</c><00:23:28.259><c> they're</c><00:23:28.519><c> small,</c><00:23:28.920><c> they</c><00:23:28.960><c> were</c><00:23:29.119><c> insignificant.</c>

00:23:32.019 --> 00:23:34.640
Jesus<00:23:32.559><c> resisted</c><00:23:33.099><c> unto</c><00:23:33.460><c> blood.</c>

00:23:34.980 --> 00:23:38.599
He<00:23:35.000><c> gave</c><00:23:35.259><c> His</c><00:23:35.579><c> life,</c><00:23:36.220><c> striving</c><00:23:36.980><c> against</c><00:23:37.700><c> sin.</c>

00:23:38.740 --> 00:23:42.019
He<00:23:38.920><c> is</c><00:23:39.220><c> the</c><00:23:39.380><c> ultimate</c><00:23:39.819><c> example</c><00:23:40.539><c> and</c><00:23:41.039><c> pattern.</c>

00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:47.329
And<00:23:42.640><c> so</c><00:23:42.759><c> we</c><00:23:42.880><c> look</c><00:23:43.119><c> to</c><00:23:43.339><c> Jesus</c><00:23:44.000><c> as</c><00:23:44.779><c> God's</c><00:23:46.539><c> appointed</c><00:23:47.059><c> example.</c>

00:23:47.329 --> 00:23:50.390
He's<00:23:48.309><c> the</c><00:23:48.470><c> serpent</c><00:23:48.930><c> lifted</c><00:23:49.369><c> up</c><00:23:49.690><c> upon</c><00:23:49.970><c> the</c><00:23:50.250><c> pole.</c>

00:23:50.390 --> 00:23:51.710

00:23:51.730 --> 00:23:54.569

00:28:33.230 --> 00:28:39.690

because<00:31:26.009><c> we've</c><00:31:26.349><c> been</c><00:31:26.569><c> going</c><00:31:26.789><c> from</c><00:31:27.089><c> Genesis</c><00:31:27.630><c> to</c><00:31:27.970><c> Revelation.</c>

00:31:30.170 --> 00:31:34.369
But<00:31:30.329><c> just</c><00:31:30.509><c> look</c><00:31:30.690><c> a</c><00:31:30.829><c> moment</c><00:31:31.049><c> again</c><00:31:31.390><c> at</c><00:31:31.670><c> the</c><00:31:32.069><c> solution</c><00:31:32.710><c> section</c><00:31:33.210><c> here.</c>

00:31:34.390 --> 00:31:38.869
God,<00:31:35.210><c> Christ,</c><00:31:35.990><c> selflessness,</c><00:31:36.690><c> the</c><00:31:36.890><c> Word,</c><00:31:37.509><c> conduct,</c><00:31:38.369><c> and</c><00:31:38.549><c> vision,</c>

00:31:38.910 --> 00:31:42.089
which<00:31:39.089><c> we</c><00:31:39.329><c> are</c><00:31:39.450><c> about</c><00:31:39.690><c> to</c><00:31:40.130><c> take</c><00:31:40.329><c> a</c><00:31:40.430><c> look</c><00:31:40.569><c> at</c><00:31:40.829><c> momentarily.</c>

00:31:43.269 --> 00:31:45.990
Those<00:31:43.529><c> are</c><00:31:43.829><c> all</c><00:31:44.150><c> important</c><00:31:45.150><c> components</c>

00:31:45.990 --> 00:31:49.609
of<00:31:46.349><c> dealing</c><00:31:46.690><c> with</c><00:31:47.069><c> sin</c><00:31:47.549><c> and</c><00:31:48.069><c> the</c><00:31:48.230><c> enemies</c><00:31:48.470><c> of</c><00:31:48.730><c> God.</c>

00:31:50.029 --> 00:31:53.609
And<00:31:50.150><c> if</c><00:31:50.250><c> we</c><00:31:50.410><c> emphasize</c><00:31:50.990><c> one</c><00:31:51.450><c> over</c><00:31:51.849><c> the</c><00:31:52.109><c> other</c><00:31:52.490><c> too</c><00:31:53.089><c> much,</c>

00:31:53.609 --> 00:31:57.349
we<00:31:54.390><c> then</c><00:31:54.710><c> get</c><00:31:55.009><c> some</c><00:31:55.549><c> wrong</c><00:31:56.029><c> ideas,</c>

00:31:57.410 --> 00:31:59.289
some<00:31:57.670><c> wrong</c><00:31:58.009><c> philosophy</c><00:31:58.609><c> of</c><00:31:58.849><c> our</c><00:31:59.029><c> own.</c>

00:31:59.569 --> 00:32:02.430
For<00:31:59.789><c> example,</c><00:32:00.150><c> someone</c><00:32:00.410><c> could</c><00:32:00.630><c> emphasize</c><00:32:01.130><c> conduct.</c>

00:32:03.569 --> 00:32:06.309
That's<00:32:04.089><c> where</c><00:32:04.210><c> they</c><00:32:04.349><c> put</c><00:32:04.509><c> all</c><00:32:04.710><c> their</c><00:32:04.890><c> focus.</c>

00:32:06.490 --> 00:32:09.029
It's<00:32:06.710><c> all</c><00:32:06.910><c> of</c><00:32:07.069><c> the</c><00:32:07.250><c> things</c><00:32:07.509><c> that</c><00:32:07.750><c> you</c><00:32:07.930><c> do.</c>

00:32:09.650 --> 00:32:12.410
Before<00:32:09.950><c> long,</c><00:32:10.490><c> this</c><00:32:10.609><c> person</c><00:32:11.089><c> almost</c><00:32:11.529><c> sounds</c><00:32:11.849><c> like</c>

00:32:12.410 --> 00:32:15.869
they<00:32:12.789><c> think</c><00:32:12.990><c> they</c><00:32:13.150><c> can</c><00:32:13.390><c> take</c><00:32:13.650><c> on</c><00:32:14.309><c> the</c><00:32:14.710><c> serpent</c><00:32:14.950><c> on</c><00:32:15.170><c> their</c><00:32:15.390><c> own</c>

00:32:15.869 --> 00:32:18.789
by<00:32:16.369><c> all</c><00:32:16.630><c> the</c><00:32:16.829><c> things</c><00:32:17.029><c> that</c><00:32:17.210><c> they</c><00:32:17.410><c> do.</c>

00:32:19.750 --> 00:32:22.710
Someone<00:32:20.349><c> could</c><00:32:20.589><c> emphasize</c><00:32:21.170><c> selflessness</c>

00:32:23.509 --> 00:32:26.329
almost<00:32:24.109><c> by</c><00:32:24.490><c> denying</c><00:32:24.950><c> yourself</c><00:32:25.490><c> all</c><00:32:25.829><c> of</c><00:32:26.029><c> the</c><00:32:26.150><c> things</c>

00:32:26.329 --> 00:32:30.509
which<00:32:26.569><c> God</c><00:32:26.849><c> actually</c><00:32:27.210><c> intended</c><00:32:27.509><c> us</c><00:32:27.789><c> to</c><00:32:28.009><c> enjoy</c><00:32:28.529><c> with</c><00:32:28.869><c> thanksgiving.</c>

00:32:31.349 --> 00:32:33.690
That<00:32:31.549><c> somehow</c><00:32:31.890><c> we</c><00:32:32.089><c> are</c><00:32:32.269><c> righteous.</c>

00:32:34.950 --> 00:32:36.609
Someone<00:32:35.190><c> might</c><00:32:35.410><c> emphasize</c><00:32:35.990><c> the</c><00:32:36.269><c> Word.</c>

00:32:37.069 --> 00:32:40.029
It's<00:32:37.329><c> all</c><00:32:37.630><c> academic</c><00:32:38.190><c> knowledge.</c>

00:32:41.430 --> 00:32:43.890
And<00:32:41.910><c> you</c><00:32:41.990><c> can</c><00:32:42.130><c> see</c><00:32:42.289><c> how</c><00:32:42.609><c> imbalances</c><00:32:43.190><c> can</c><00:32:43.450><c> come</c><00:32:43.690><c> out</c>

00:32:43.890 --> 00:32:45.990
if<00:32:44.230><c> emphasis</c><00:32:44.670><c> is</c><00:32:44.910><c> just</c><00:32:45.130><c> placed</c><00:32:45.390><c> in</c><00:32:45.569><c> one</c><00:32:45.789><c> part.</c>

00:32:45.990 --> 00:32:47.170
Even<00:32:46.289><c> vision.</c>

00:32:47.390 --> 00:32:49.710
Some<00:32:47.529><c> people</c><00:32:47.730><c> just</c><00:32:47.970><c> focus</c><00:32:48.210><c> on</c><00:32:48.549><c> prophecy.</c>

00:32:50.750 --> 00:32:53.390
You'd<00:32:50.970><c> think</c><00:32:51.029><c> sometimes</c><00:32:51.410><c> that's</c><00:32:51.630><c> all</c><00:32:51.769><c> there</c><00:32:51.990><c> was</c><00:32:52.109><c> in</c><00:32:52.269><c> the</c><00:32:52.430><c> Bible.</c>

00:32:54.890 --> 00:32:58.029
But<00:32:55.109><c> all</c><00:32:55.410><c> of</c><00:32:55.670><c> these</c><00:32:56.049><c> beautifully</c><00:32:56.589><c> together,</c>

00:32:59.230 --> 00:33:03.829
God,<00:33:00.390><c> Christ,</c><00:33:01.650><c> selflessness,</c><00:33:02.309><c> the</c><00:33:02.529><c> Word,</c><00:33:03.009><c> conduct,</c><00:33:03.470><c> and</c><00:33:03.650><c> vision,</c>

00:33:03.950 --> 00:33:07.890
this<00:33:04.950><c> gives</c><00:33:05.190><c> us</c><00:33:05.369><c> a</c><00:33:05.509><c> very</c><00:33:05.789><c> rounded</c><00:33:06.650><c> picture</c>

00:33:07.750 --> 00:33:10.349
of<00:33:08.049><c> all</c><00:33:08.269><c> of</c><00:33:08.390><c> the</c><00:33:08.589><c> elements</c><00:33:08.910><c> that</c><00:33:09.130><c> are</c><00:33:09.250><c> required</c>

00:33:10.970 --> 00:33:13.910
to<00:33:11.569><c> take</c><00:33:12.170><c> on</c><00:33:12.650><c> the</c><00:33:13.009><c> serpent.</c>

00:33:14.430 --> 00:33:18.910
And<00:33:15.029><c> really,</c><00:33:16.890><c> they</c><00:33:17.069><c> go</c><00:33:17.289><c> together</c><00:33:17.950><c> as</c><00:33:18.410><c> a</c><00:33:18.630><c> unit.</c>

00:33:19.369 --> 00:33:22.009
You<00:33:19.509><c> start</c><00:33:19.789><c> with</c><00:33:20.049><c> God</c><00:33:20.269><c> in</c><00:33:20.430><c> a</c><00:33:20.630><c> true</c><00:33:20.809><c> sense,</c>

00:33:22.529 --> 00:33:26.130
then<00:33:22.869><c> all</c><00:33:23.230><c> of</c><00:33:23.369><c> the</c><00:33:23.430><c> others</c><00:33:23.630><c> just</c><00:33:24.009><c> follow</c><00:33:24.309><c> thereafter</c><00:33:24.910><c> naturally,</c>

00:33:26.869 --> 00:33:29.529
being<00:33:27.069><c> consistent</c><00:33:27.589><c> to</c><00:33:27.769><c> leave</c><00:33:27.950><c> any</c><00:33:28.170><c> one</c><00:33:28.309><c> of</c><00:33:28.410><c> them</c><00:33:28.569><c> out.</c>

00:33:30.130 --> 00:33:32.329
They're<00:33:30.329><c> all</c><00:33:30.950><c> a</c><00:33:31.289><c> part</c><00:33:31.509><c> of</c><00:33:31.710><c> the</c><00:33:31.930><c> whole,</c>

00:33:32.769 --> 00:33:34.890
and<00:33:32.890><c> they</c><00:33:33.109><c> fit</c><00:33:33.269><c> naturally</c><00:33:33.809><c> together.</c>

00:33:35.910 --> 00:33:38.049
Now<00:33:36.150><c> let</c><00:33:36.289><c> us</c><00:33:36.509><c> turn</c><00:33:36.849><c> to</c><00:33:37.069><c> our</c><00:33:37.230><c> last</c><00:33:37.549><c> segment</c>

00:33:38.049 --> 00:33:42.730
for<00:33:38.970><c> the</c><00:33:39.289><c> school</c><00:33:39.829><c> on</c><00:33:41.369><c> this</c><00:33:41.589><c> particular</c><00:33:42.190><c> subject,</c>

00:33:42.730 --> 00:33:46.029
the<00:33:43.329><c> serpent</c><00:33:43.750><c> from</c><00:33:44.049><c> Genesis</c><00:33:44.549><c> to</c><00:33:44.809><c> Revelation.</c>

00:33:46.630 --> 00:33:48.410
I'd<00:33:46.849><c> like</c><00:33:46.849><c> to</c><00:33:47.029><c> ask</c><00:33:47.130><c> you</c><00:33:47.289><c> a</c><00:33:47.369><c> question.</c>

00:33:49.130 --> 00:33:55.190
How<00:33:49.369><c> can</c><00:33:49.609><c> the</c><00:33:49.890><c> devil</c><00:33:50.329><c> be</c><00:33:51.250><c> destroyed</c><00:33:52.269><c> and</c><00:33:53.349><c> yet</c><00:33:53.569><c> not</c><00:33:53.829><c> be</c><00:33:54.230><c> destroyed?</c>

00:33:55.750 --> 00:33:57.690
A<00:33:56.049><c> good</c><00:33:56.230><c> question</c><00:33:56.730><c> for</c><00:33:56.890><c> those</c><00:33:57.210><c> who</c><00:33:57.509><c> believe</c>

00:33:57.690 --> 00:34:00.089
in<00:33:57.829><c> a</c><00:33:58.109><c> supernatural</c><00:33:58.630><c> fallen</c><00:33:59.130><c> angel</c><00:33:59.589><c> devil.</c>

00:34:00.569 --> 00:34:04.710
Hebrews<00:34:00.809><c> tells</c><00:34:01.230><c> us</c><00:34:02.150><c> that</c><00:34:02.529><c> Jesus</c><00:34:03.109><c> destroyed</c><00:34:03.890><c> the</c><00:34:04.190><c> devil,</c>

00:34:04.930 --> 00:34:09.389
and<00:34:06.069><c> yet</c><00:34:06.210><c> he's</c><00:34:06.490><c> been</c><00:34:06.730><c> active,</c><00:34:07.769><c> very</c><00:34:08.150><c> active.</c>

00:34:10.610 --> 00:34:13.610
Jesus<00:34:11.250><c> destroyed</c><00:34:11.750><c> the</c><00:34:12.250><c> internal</c><00:34:12.590><c> enemy,</c>

00:34:13.889 --> 00:34:17.349
the<00:34:14.130><c> devil,</c><00:34:14.630><c> human</c><00:34:14.769><c> nature,</c><00:34:15.250><c> with</c><00:34:15.489><c> its</c><00:34:15.750><c> lusts</c><00:34:16.170><c> and</c><00:34:16.289><c> pride.</c>

00:34:17.590 --> 00:34:19.849
But<00:34:17.710><c> the</c><00:34:17.969><c> external</c><00:34:18.349><c> devil</c><00:34:18.710><c> will</c><00:34:18.969><c> not</c><00:34:19.210><c> be</c><00:34:19.590><c> destroyed</c>

00:34:19.849 --> 00:34:22.530
until<00:34:20.150><c> the</c><00:34:20.409><c> end</c><00:34:20.630><c> of</c><00:34:20.829><c> the</c><00:34:20.969><c> millennial</c><00:34:21.369><c> age.</c>

00:34:22.610 --> 00:34:25.030
And<00:34:22.929><c> for</c><00:34:23.110><c> the</c><00:34:23.369><c> thousand</c><00:34:23.710><c> years,</c>

that<00:34:25.630><c> external</c><00:34:26.650><c> devil</c><00:34:27.389><c> is</c><00:34:27.829><c> bound.</c>

00:34:29.130 --> 00:34:30.710

and<00:37:12.110><c> not</c><00:37:12.349><c> worry</c><00:37:12.650><c> to</c><00:37:12.969><c> be</c><00:37:14.190><c> poisoned.</c>

00:37:15.929 --> 00:37:18.010
That's<00:37:16.329><c> the</c><00:37:16.590><c> changes</c><00:37:16.969><c> that</c><00:37:17.250><c> we'll</c><00:37:17.550><c> see</c>

00:37:18.010 --> 00:37:19.269
in<00:37:18.409><c> the</c><00:37:18.590><c> millennial</c><00:37:18.949><c> age.</c>

00:37:19.289 --> 00:37:21.590
And<00:37:19.449><c> we'll</c><00:37:19.750><c> rejoice</c><00:37:20.230><c> with</c><00:37:20.510><c> all</c><00:37:20.710><c> of</c><00:37:20.829><c> the</c><00:37:21.130><c> magnificence</c>

00:37:21.590 --> 00:37:22.409
of<00:37:21.829><c> that</c><00:37:22.050><c> age.</c>

00:37:22.510 --> 00:37:23.809
The<00:37:22.769><c> past</c><00:37:23.010><c> will</c><00:37:23.329><c> fade.</c>

00:37:23.809 --> 00:37:25.909
It<00:37:24.070><c> will</c><00:37:24.349><c> seem</c><00:37:24.510><c> insignificant.</c>

00:37:26.550 --> 00:37:28.070
And<00:37:26.789><c> we're</c><00:37:26.889><c> not</c><00:37:27.010><c> going</c><00:37:27.170><c> to</c><00:37:27.349><c> regret</c>

00:37:28.070 --> 00:37:29.349
being<00:37:28.789><c> in</c><00:37:28.969><c> the</c><00:37:29.150><c> Kingdom.</c>

00:37:29.389 --> 00:37:30.769
There's<00:37:29.590><c> not</c><00:37:29.710><c> a</c><00:37:29.949><c> chance</c><00:37:30.170><c> of</c><00:37:30.469><c> that.</c>

00:37:30.969 --> 00:37:33.550
There'll<00:37:31.150><c> be</c><00:37:31.269><c> no</c><00:37:31.530><c> yearnings</c><00:37:32.050><c> for</c><00:37:32.550><c> earthly</c><00:37:32.909><c> things.</c>

00:37:34.010 --> 00:37:37.070
But<00:37:34.150><c> our</c><00:37:34.369><c> minds</c><00:37:34.610><c> will</c><00:37:34.809><c> be</c><00:37:34.969><c> lifted</c><00:37:35.190><c> to</c><00:37:35.510><c> spiritual</c><00:37:35.949><c> things.</c>

00:37:37.289 --> 00:37:39.429
We'll<00:37:37.449><c> bring</c><00:37:37.750><c> God</c><00:37:38.170><c> pleasure,</c>

00:37:39.449 --> 00:37:41.389
and<00:37:39.570><c> our</c><00:37:39.829><c> appreciation</c><00:37:40.429><c> of</c><00:37:40.730><c> spiritual</c><00:37:41.070><c> things</c>

00:37:41.389 --> 00:37:43.449
will<00:37:41.650><c> grow</c><00:37:41.969><c> to</c><00:37:42.190><c> new</c><00:37:42.429><c> heights.</c>

00:37:44.289 --> 00:37:47.670
We'll<00:37:44.550><c> be</c><00:37:44.750><c> acting</c><00:37:45.070><c> somewhat</c><00:37:45.389><c> like</c><00:37:45.590><c> the</c><00:37:45.849><c> angels</c><00:37:46.190><c> of</c><00:37:46.429><c> the</c><00:37:46.650><c> past.</c>

00:37:48.030 --> 00:37:50.269
As<00:37:48.250><c> time</c><00:37:48.550><c> goes</c><00:37:48.849><c> on,</c><00:37:49.389><c> however,</c>

00:37:50.630 --> 00:37:52.630
it<00:37:50.769><c> appears</c><00:37:51.130><c> that</c><00:37:51.349><c> we'll</c><00:37:51.469><c> be</c><00:37:51.630><c> less</c><00:37:51.889><c> involved.</c>

00:37:52.630 --> 00:37:58.670
Such<00:37:53.869><c> that</c><00:37:54.710><c> Satan</c><00:37:55.150><c> will</c><00:37:55.869><c> be</c><00:37:56.570><c> loosed</c><00:37:57.150><c> for</c><00:37:57.510><c> a</c><00:37:57.690><c> season.</c>

00:37:59.329 --> 00:38:01.090
People<00:37:59.429><c> will</c><00:37:59.670><c> be</c><00:37:59.909><c> allowed</c><00:38:00.250><c> once</c><00:38:00.670><c> again</c>

00:38:01.090 --> 00:38:03.289
to<00:38:01.570><c> bring</c><00:38:01.869><c> together,</c>

00:38:03.309 --> 00:38:04.730
through<00:38:03.309><c> formations</c><00:38:04.110><c> together,</c>

00:38:05.210 --> 00:38:06.769
another<00:38:05.510><c> monster.</c>

00:38:07.289 --> 00:38:09.789
Monsters<00:38:07.769><c> that</c><00:38:07.929><c> we've</c><00:38:08.150><c> seen</c><00:38:08.289><c> in</c><00:38:08.510><c> the</c><00:38:08.670><c> past.</c>

00:38:09.849 --> 00:38:12.769
Like<00:38:10.050><c> the</c><00:38:10.309><c> nations</c><00:38:10.869><c> and</c><00:38:11.090><c> the</c><00:38:11.329><c> religious</c><00:38:11.610><c> systems.</c>

00:38:13.489 --> 00:38:15.369
They<00:38:13.750><c> will</c><00:38:13.949><c> be</c><00:38:14.170><c> allowed</c><00:38:14.449><c> once</c><00:38:14.849><c> again.</c>

00:38:15.670 --> 00:38:17.730
And<00:38:15.969><c> we'll</c><00:38:16.230><c> be</c><00:38:16.489><c> watching</c><00:38:16.809><c> this</c><00:38:17.150><c> unfold</c>

00:38:17.730 --> 00:38:19.710

00:38:21.550 --> 00:38:25.190
Let's<00:38:21.929><c> read</c><00:38:22.269><c> Revelation</c><00:38:22.730><c> 20,</c><00:38:23.329><c> verse</c><00:38:23.530><c> 7</c><00:38:23.969><c> to</c><00:38:24.150><c> 10.</c>

00:38:26.210 --> 00:38:27.989
When<00:38:26.409><c> the</c><00:38:26.690><c> thousand</c><00:38:27.030><c> years</c><00:38:27.309><c> are</c><00:38:27.510><c> expired,</c>

00:38:28.250 --> 00:38:30.449
Satan<00:38:28.409><c> shall</c><00:38:28.610><c> be</c><00:38:28.849><c> loosed</c><00:38:29.030><c> out</c><00:38:29.190><c> of</c><00:38:29.289><c> his</c><00:38:29.489><c> prison,</c>

00:38:30.670 --> 00:38:32.510

the<00:38:38.409><c> number</c><00:38:38.670><c> of</c><00:38:38.849><c> whom</c><00:38:38.969><c> is</c><00:38:39.150><c> as</c><00:38:39.329><c> the</c><00:38:39.550><c> sand</c><00:38:39.769><c> of</c><00:38:39.929><c> the</c><00:38:40.150><c> sea.</c>

00:38:41.110 --> 00:38:42.889
And<00:38:41.329><c> they</c><00:38:41.510><c> went</c><00:38:41.650><c> up</c><00:38:41.849><c> on</c><00:38:42.010><c> the</c><00:38:42.170><c> breadth</c><00:38:42.349><c> of</c><00:38:42.550><c> the</c><00:38:42.690><c> earth</c>

00:38:42.889 --> 00:38:45.429

00:38:48.530 --> 00:38:49.650
and<00:38:48.730><c> devoured</c><00:38:49.170><c> them.</c>

00:38:49.650 --> 00:38:52.869
And<00:38:50.309><c> the</c><00:38:50.489><c> devil</c><00:38:51.510><c> that</c><00:38:52.190><c> deceived</c><00:38:52.650><c> them</c>

00:38:52.869 --> 00:38:56.090
was<00:38:53.130><c> cast</c><00:38:53.489><c> into</c><00:38:53.710><c> the</c><00:38:53.889><c> lake</c><00:38:53.969><c> of</c><00:38:54.309><c> fire</c><00:38:54.610><c> and</c><00:38:54.949><c> brimstone,</c>

00:39:02.489 --> 00:39:04.650
The<00:39:02.889><c> picture</c><00:39:03.309><c> we</c><00:39:03.730><c> have,</c>

00:39:04.909 --> 00:39:07.230
the<00:39:05.250><c> film,</c><00:39:06.429><c> if</c><00:39:06.630><c> you</c><00:39:06.869><c> like,</c>

of<00:39:07.730><c> Revelation.</c>

00:39:08.670 --> 00:39:09.670
And<00:39:08.869><c> that's</c><00:39:09.050><c> what</c><00:39:09.210><c> it</c><00:39:09.429><c> is.</c>

00:39:09.710 --> 00:39:11.730
It's<00:39:10.010><c> not</c><00:39:10.969><c> real.</c>

00:39:11.849 --> 00:39:14.210
There's<00:39:12.130><c> no</c><00:39:12.409><c> literal</c><00:39:12.869><c> ten</c><00:39:13.210><c> beasts</c><00:39:13.449><c> with</c><00:39:13.670><c> ten</c><00:39:13.929><c> horns.</c>

00:39:14.329 --> 00:39:16.050
These<00:39:14.670><c> figures</c><00:39:15.050><c> are</c><00:39:15.429><c> symbolic.</c>

00:39:16.369 --> 00:39:17.710
So<00:39:16.610><c> view</c><00:39:16.789><c> it</c><00:39:16.949><c> as</c><00:39:17.190><c> a</c><00:39:17.349><c> vision,</c>

00:39:17.710 --> 00:39:18.949

00:39:21.369 --> 00:39:24.190
And<00:39:21.489><c> the</c><00:39:21.730><c> end</c><00:39:22.230><c> of</c><00:39:23.050><c> the</c><00:39:23.250><c> devil</c><00:39:23.469><c> is</c><00:39:23.750><c> that</c>

00:39:24.190 --> 00:39:27.090
he<00:39:24.489><c> is</c><00:39:24.829><c> cast</c><00:39:25.130><c> into</c><00:39:25.409><c> this</c><00:39:25.710><c> lake</c><00:39:25.889><c> of</c><00:39:26.250><c> fire.</c>

00:39:27.230 --> 00:39:29.010
What<00:39:27.409><c> a</c><00:39:27.730><c> graphic</c><00:39:28.130><c> picture</c><00:39:28.510><c> that</c><00:39:28.769><c> is,</c>

00:39:29.010 --> 00:39:32.190
as<00:39:29.130><c> he's</c><00:39:29.329><c> put</c><00:39:29.570><c> there</c><00:39:29.789><c> and</c><00:39:30.050><c> tormented</c><00:39:30.469><c> forever</c><00:39:30.969><c> and</c><00:39:31.190><c> ever.</c>

00:39:34.469 --> 00:39:36.110
But<00:39:34.630><c> what</c><00:39:34.769><c> does</c><00:39:34.929><c> that</c><00:39:35.190><c> mean?</c>

00:39:36.849 --> 00:39:40.670
We<00:39:37.090><c> are</c><00:39:37.409><c> given</c><00:39:37.889><c> a</c><00:39:38.349><c> literal</c><00:39:39.389><c> explanation</c><00:39:40.110><c> of</c><00:39:40.409><c> that</c>

00:39:40.670 --> 00:39:42.489
when<00:39:40.989><c> it</c><00:39:41.190><c> says</c><00:39:41.369><c> in</c><00:39:41.489><c> verse</c><00:39:41.769><c> 14</c>

00:39:42.489 --> 00:39:44.769
that<00:39:42.989><c> even</c><00:39:43.349><c> death</c><00:39:43.670><c> and</c><00:39:43.949><c> hell</c><00:39:44.170><c> were</c><00:39:44.409><c> cast</c>

00:39:44.769 --> 00:39:45.849
into<00:39:44.989><c> the</c><00:39:45.130><c> lake</c><00:39:45.269><c> of</c><00:39:45.570><c> fire.</c>

00:39:45.849 --> 00:39:49.030
This<00:39:46.969><c> is</c><00:39:47.190><c> the</c><00:39:47.309><c> second</c><00:39:47.690><c> death.</c>

00:39:51.090 --> 00:39:53.349
There's<00:39:51.150><c> no</c><00:39:51.429><c> problem</c><00:39:51.849><c> here</c><00:39:52.210><c> with</c>

00:39:53.510 --> 00:39:55.989
eternal<00:39:54.010><c> torments</c><00:39:54.510><c> forever</c><00:39:54.929><c> and</c><00:39:55.130><c> ever.</c>

00:39:56.489 --> 00:39:58.510
That<00:39:56.670><c> doesn't</c><00:39:56.929><c> fit</c><00:39:57.210><c> any</c><00:39:57.469><c> of</c><00:39:57.610><c> the</c><00:39:57.630><c> rest</c><00:39:57.869><c> of</c><00:39:58.070><c> the</c><00:39:58.210><c> Scriptures.</c>

00:39:58.630 --> 00:39:59.590
This<00:39:58.809><c> is</c><00:39:59.090><c> a</c><00:39:59.210><c> vision.</c>

00:40:00.090 --> 00:40:01.670
And<00:40:00.210><c> if</c><00:40:00.289><c> you</c><00:40:00.449><c> see</c><00:40:00.610><c> that</c><00:40:00.869><c> vision</c><00:40:01.110><c> before</c><00:40:01.469><c> us,</c>

00:40:01.789 --> 00:40:04.150
you<00:40:01.789><c> can</c><00:40:02.210><c> see</c><00:40:02.969><c> the</c><00:40:03.389><c> meaning</c><00:40:03.630><c> of</c><00:40:03.869><c> it</c>

00:40:04.150 --> 00:40:04.949
and<00:40:04.329><c> the</c><00:40:04.570><c> significance.</c>

00:40:05.010 --> 00:40:06.989
A<00:40:05.150><c> very</c><00:40:05.489><c> powerful</c><00:40:06.010><c> picture.</c>

00:40:07.389 --> 00:40:09.230
But<00:40:07.530><c> it</c><00:40:07.789><c> ultimately</c><00:40:08.309><c> means</c>

00:40:09.230 --> 00:40:11.809
the<00:40:09.969><c> ultimate</c><00:40:10.449><c> destruction</c>

00:40:11.889 --> 00:40:13.329
of<00:40:12.449><c> the</c><00:40:12.650><c> old</c><00:40:12.909><c> serpent,</c>

00:40:13.329 --> 00:40:14.730
here<00:40:13.989><c> called</c><00:40:14.269><c> Satan</c>

00:40:14.730 --> 00:40:17.650
and<00:40:15.309><c> also</c><00:40:15.650><c> called</c><00:40:16.210><c> the</c><00:40:16.750><c> devil.</c>

00:40:18.309 --> 00:40:21.730
And<00:40:18.489><c> so</c><00:40:18.630><c> it</c><00:40:18.769><c> is</c><00:40:19.269><c> that</c><00:40:19.730><c> we</c><00:40:19.889><c> look</c><00:40:20.090><c> back</c><00:40:20.489><c> to</c><00:40:20.710><c> Genesis</c><00:40:21.010><c> 3</c><00:40:21.369><c>.15</c>

00:40:21.730 --> 00:40:23.610
and<00:40:21.849><c> we</c><00:40:22.230><c> remember</c><00:40:22.610><c> that</c><00:40:22.849><c> Jesus</c><00:40:23.269><c> was</c>

00:40:23.610 --> 00:40:25.909
to<00:40:23.789><c> be</c><00:40:24.070><c> bruised</c><00:40:24.409><c> in</c><00:40:24.690><c> the</c><00:40:24.989><c> heel.</c>

00:40:25.949 --> 00:40:27.949
He<00:40:26.230><c> was</c><00:40:26.530><c> in</c><00:40:26.650><c> his</c><00:40:26.869><c> death.</c>

00:40:28.230 --> 00:40:32.670
But<00:40:28.750><c> his</c><00:40:29.070><c> work</c><00:40:29.289><c> is</c><00:40:29.630><c> to</c><00:40:29.969><c> destroy</c><00:40:30.829><c> the</c><00:40:31.710><c> serpent.</c>

00:40:34.230 --> 00:40:35.730
And<00:40:34.409><c> phase</c><00:40:34.670><c> one</c><00:40:34.909><c> is</c><00:40:35.210><c> complete</c>

00:40:35.730 --> 00:40:38.750
in<00:40:36.230><c> the</c><00:40:36.469><c> destruction</c><00:40:36.829><c> of</c><00:40:37.050><c> the</c><00:40:37.269><c> internal</c><00:40:37.610><c> enemy.</c>

00:40:38.989 --> 00:40:41.050
But<00:40:39.469><c> certainly</c><00:40:39.969><c> the</c><00:40:40.409><c> external</c><00:40:40.769><c> enemy</c>

00:40:41.050 --> 00:40:42.329
must<00:40:41.289><c> be</c><00:40:41.630><c> destroyed</c><00:40:41.929><c> as</c><00:40:42.210><c> well.</c>

00:40:42.329 --> 00:40:44.369
And<00:40:42.389><c> we</c><00:40:42.469><c> shouldn't</c><00:40:42.710><c> belittle</c><00:40:43.090><c> that.</c>

00:40:44.510 --> 00:40:46.090
There's<00:40:44.650><c> another</c><00:40:44.969><c> phase</c><00:40:45.429><c> to</c><00:40:45.769><c> come</c>

00:40:46.090 --> 00:40:47.869
that<00:40:46.349><c> we</c><00:40:46.550><c> will</c><00:40:46.789><c> watch.</c>

00:40:48.269 --> 00:40:51.170
We're<00:40:48.489><c> going</c><00:40:48.530><c> to</c><00:40:48.630><c> watch</c><00:40:48.769><c> at</c><00:40:48.869><c> least</c><00:40:49.050><c> a</c><00:40:49.230><c> thousand</c><00:40:49.590><c> years</c><00:40:49.909><c> of</c><00:40:50.090><c> it.</c>

00:40:51.849 --> 00:40:54.590
It's<00:40:52.289><c> not</c><00:40:52.449><c> going</c><00:40:52.630><c> to</c><00:40:52.769><c> be</c><00:40:52.869><c> at</c><00:40:53.010><c> the</c><00:40:53.170><c> beginning</c><00:40:53.389><c> of</c><00:40:53.590><c> the</c><00:40:53.769><c> Kingdom.</c>

00:40:55.329 --> 00:40:56.769
At<00:40:55.469><c> the</c><00:40:55.590><c> end</c><00:40:55.730><c> of</c><00:40:55.869><c> that</c><00:40:56.070><c> thousand</c><00:40:56.409><c> years,</c>

00:40:56.869 --> 00:40:59.650
finally<00:40:57.409><c> the</c><00:40:57.889><c> old</c><00:40:58.590><c> serpent,</c>

00:41:00.269 --> 00:41:01.809
the<00:41:00.449><c> devil</c><00:41:00.670><c> and</c><00:41:00.969><c> Satan,</c>

00:41:01.969 --> 00:41:04.030
will<00:41:02.170><c> be</c><00:41:02.809><c> destroyed.</c>

00:41:04.929 --> 00:41:06.070
Now<00:41:05.150><c> Luke</c><00:41:05.409><c> 10,</c>

00:41:06.070 --> 00:41:08.570
if<00:41:06.230><c> you</c><00:41:06.329><c> want</c><00:41:06.489><c> to</c><00:41:06.590><c> turn</c><00:41:06.789><c> there</c><00:41:07.030><c> just</c><00:41:07.389><c> quickly,</c>

00:41:09.250 --> 00:41:10.969
verse<00:41:09.449><c> 17</c><00:41:10.190><c> to</c><00:41:10.429><c> 20</c>

00:41:10.969 --> 00:41:14.429
speaks<00:41:11.650><c> of</c><00:41:11.889><c> the</c><00:41:12.269><c> 70</c><00:41:12.550><c> who</c><00:41:12.929><c> Jesus</c><00:41:13.550><c> sent</c><00:41:13.929><c> out</c>

00:41:14.429 --> 00:41:15.949
into<00:41:14.809><c> the</c><00:41:15.130><c> earth</c>

00:41:15.969 --> 00:41:18.570
to<00:41:16.610><c> cast</c><00:41:17.210><c> out</c><00:41:17.530><c> demons.</c>

00:41:18.590 --> 00:41:21.289
There's<00:41:18.670><c> a</c><00:41:18.809><c> real</c><00:41:19.070><c> exhortation</c><00:41:19.750><c> for</c><00:41:20.030><c> us</c><00:41:20.289><c> here.</c>

00:41:22.150 --> 00:41:25.010
In<00:41:22.230><c> verse</c><00:41:22.449><c> 17</c><00:41:23.030><c> of</c><00:41:23.230><c> Luke</c><00:41:23.429><c> 10</c><00:41:23.690><c> we</c><00:41:23.889><c> read,</c>

00:41:25.530 --> 00:41:28.849
And<00:41:25.530><c> the</c><00:41:26.050><c> 70</c><00:41:26.650><c> returned</c><00:41:27.289><c> again</c><00:41:27.630><c> with</c><00:41:27.949><c> joy,</c><00:41:28.289><c> saying,</c>

00:41:29.289 --> 00:41:32.309
Lord,<00:41:29.909><c> even</c><00:41:30.289><c> the</c><00:41:30.610><c> demons</c><00:41:30.929><c> are</c><00:41:31.230><c> subject</c><00:41:31.650><c> to</c><00:41:31.849><c> us</c>

00:41:32.309 --> 00:41:33.469
through<00:41:32.650><c> thy</c><00:41:32.949><c> name.</c>

00:41:33.710 --> 00:41:34.710
And<00:41:34.010><c> he</c><00:41:34.150><c> said</c><00:41:34.269><c> unto</c><00:41:34.429><c> them,</c>

00:41:34.869 --> 00:41:38.170
I<00:41:35.090><c> beheld</c><00:41:35.429><c> Satan</c><00:41:35.909><c> as</c><00:41:36.230><c> lightning</c><00:41:36.570><c> fall</c><00:41:36.949><c> from</c><00:41:37.210><c> heaven.</c>

00:41:38.250 --> 00:41:40.929
And<00:41:38.789><c> every</c><00:41:39.190><c> time</c><00:41:39.469><c> we</c><00:41:39.710><c> see</c><00:41:39.889><c> his</c><00:41:40.050><c> success</c>

00:41:40.929 --> 00:41:43.449
and<00:41:41.610><c> the</c><00:41:41.769><c> things</c><00:41:41.909><c> of</c><00:41:42.110><c> the</c><00:41:42.369><c> truth,</c>

00:41:44.429 --> 00:41:50.150
then<00:41:44.969><c> we</c><00:41:45.369><c> see</c><00:41:46.510><c> Satan</c><00:41:47.409><c> falling</c>

00:41:51.570 --> 00:41:53.690
as<00:41:52.110><c> lightning</c><00:41:52.650><c> falls</c><00:41:53.050><c> from</c><00:41:53.309><c> heaven.</c>

00:41:53.889 --> 00:41:55.090
And<00:41:54.030><c> we</c><00:41:54.210><c> rejoice</c><00:41:54.650><c> in</c><00:41:54.909><c> that.</c>

00:41:55.090 --> 00:41:57.409
Behold,<00:41:55.409><c> I</c><00:41:55.590><c> give</c><00:41:55.690><c> you</c><00:41:55.909><c> power</c><00:41:56.190><c> to</c><00:41:56.409><c> tread</c><00:41:56.530><c> on</c><00:41:56.849><c> serpents.</c>

00:41:57.630 --> 00:41:58.409
This<00:41:57.769><c> is</c><00:41:57.989><c> great.</c>

00:41:58.750 --> 00:42:00.050
And<00:41:59.030><c> scorpions,</c>

00:42:00.050 --> 00:42:01.710
and<00:42:00.369><c> of</c><00:42:00.469><c> all</c><00:42:00.650><c> the</c><00:42:00.889><c> power</c><00:42:01.130><c> of</c><00:42:01.309><c> the</c><00:42:01.489><c> enemy,</c>

00:42:01.889 --> 00:42:05.349

00:42:06.190 --> 00:42:07.409
notwithstanding,

00:42:07.929 --> 00:42:09.769
in<00:42:07.969><c> this</c><00:42:08.429><c> rejoice</c><00:42:09.050><c> not</c>

00:42:09.769 --> 00:42:13.369
that<00:42:10.489><c> the</c><00:42:10.869><c> spirits</c><00:42:11.130><c> are</c><00:42:11.449><c> subject</c><00:42:11.769><c> unto</c><00:42:12.070><c> you,</c>

00:42:13.389 --> 00:42:15.969
but<00:42:13.670><c> rather</c><00:42:13.969><c> rejoice</c><00:42:14.570><c> because</c><00:42:15.010><c> your</c><00:42:15.289><c> names</c>

00:42:15.969 --> 00:42:19.050

00:42:19.889 --> 00:42:22.130
