concerning<00:02:44.639><c> the</c><00:02:44.979><c> study</c><00:02:45.180><c> of</c><00:02:45.539><c> prophecy,</c>

00:02:45.939 --> 00:02:49.840
Never<00:02:46.800><c> try</c><00:02:47.319><c> to</c><00:02:47.659><c> construct</c><00:02:48.199><c> a</c><00:02:48.500><c> future</c><00:02:49.000><c> application</c>

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.960
on<00:02:50.419><c> any</c><00:02:50.919><c> prophecy</c><00:02:51.400><c> until</c><00:02:52.340><c> you</c><00:02:52.639><c> have</c><00:02:53.060><c> understood</c>

00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.759
what<00:02:54.699><c> the</c><00:02:55.159><c> prophecy</c><00:02:55.560><c> meant</c><00:02:56.180><c> to</c><00:02:56.819><c> those</c><00:02:57.280><c> who</c><00:02:57.659><c> first</c><00:02:58.020><c> heard</c><00:02:58.280><c> it</c>

00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.000
from<00:02:59.000><c> the</c><00:02:59.219><c> lips</c><00:02:59.460><c> of</c><00:02:59.740><c> the</c><00:02:59.960><c> prophet.</c>

00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.000
So<00:03:01.960><c> we're</c><00:03:02.259><c> going</c><00:03:02.319><c> to</c><00:03:02.560><c> look</c><00:03:02.819><c> at</c><00:03:03.020><c> what</c><00:03:03.180><c> is</c><00:03:03.500><c> to</c><00:03:03.719><c> me</c>

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.000
one<00:03:04.479><c> of</c><00:03:04.620><c> the</c><00:03:04.719><c> most</c><00:03:05.139><c> interesting,</c><00:03:06.060><c> exciting,</c><00:03:06.680><c> and</c><00:03:06.860><c> remarkable</c><00:03:07.439><c> periods</c>

00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.800
of<00:03:08.439><c> Old</c><00:03:08.699><c> Testament</c><00:03:09.120><c> history.</c>

00:03:09.860 --> 00:03:13.560
When<00:03:10.439><c> the</c><00:03:10.780><c> throne</c><00:03:11.060><c> of</c><00:03:11.340><c> Yahweh</c><00:03:11.659><c> was</c><00:03:12.000><c> established</c><00:03:12.599><c> over</c><00:03:13.000><c> Israel,</c>

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:18.400
when<00:03:14.560><c> his</c><00:03:15.159><c> anointed</c><00:03:15.680><c> king</c><00:03:16.340><c> reigned</c><00:03:16.960><c> in</c><00:03:17.259><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:24.639
Now<00:03:20.020><c> the</c><00:03:20.199><c> kingdom</c><00:03:20.919><c> lasted</c><00:03:21.580><c> for</c><00:03:22.219><c> about</c><00:03:22.719><c> 420</c><00:03:23.759><c> years,</c>

00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:26.960
from<00:03:25.159><c> the</c><00:03:25.360><c> beginning</c><00:03:25.719><c> of</c><00:03:25.979><c> the</c><00:03:26.120><c> reign</c><00:03:26.340><c> of</c><00:03:26.680><c> Saul</c>

00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.939
to<00:03:27.360><c> the</c><00:03:27.599><c> end</c><00:03:27.780><c> of</c><00:03:28.060><c> the</c><00:03:28.120><c> reign</c><00:03:28.379><c> of</c><00:03:28.659><c> Zedekiah.</c>

00:03:31.620 --> 00:03:34.099
The<00:03:32.099><c> great</c><00:03:32.479><c> span</c><00:03:32.879><c> of</c><00:03:33.080><c> Old</c><00:03:33.319><c> Testament</c><00:03:33.699><c> history</c>

00:03:34.099 --> 00:03:36.680
is<00:03:34.319><c> about</c><00:03:34.740><c> 4</c><00:03:35.120><c>,000</c><00:03:35.539><c> years.</c>

00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:41.500
So<00:03:37.539><c> we're</c><00:03:37.900><c> considering</c><00:03:38.400><c> a</c><00:03:38.699><c> period</c><00:03:39.340><c> of</c><00:03:40.180><c> about</c><00:03:40.599><c> one</c><00:03:41.000><c>-tenth</c>

00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:45.500
of<00:03:42.419><c> the</c><00:03:42.919><c> time</c><00:03:43.479><c> period</c><00:03:43.860><c> of</c><00:03:44.060><c> the</c><00:03:44.139><c> Old</c><00:03:44.360><c> Testament.</c>

00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:47.919
But<00:03:46.180><c> during</c><00:03:46.819><c> that</c><00:03:47.259><c> time,</c>

00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:50.680
nearly<00:03:48.500><c> two</c><00:03:49.139><c>-thirds</c><00:03:49.560><c> of</c><00:03:49.840><c> the</c><00:03:49.979><c> Old</c><00:03:50.219><c> Testament</c>

00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:52.840
was<00:03:51.020><c> revealed</c><00:03:51.520><c> and</c><00:03:51.819><c> written.</c>

00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.199
Apart<00:03:54.039><c> from</c><00:03:54.280><c> the</c><00:03:54.520><c> first</c><00:03:54.759><c> century</c><00:03:55.280><c> when</c><00:03:55.960><c> Jesus</c><00:03:56.699><c> spoke</c>

00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.159
and<00:03:57.379><c> the</c><00:03:57.639><c> apostles</c><00:03:58.060><c> wrote,</c>

00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.599
there<00:03:59.479><c> has</c><00:03:59.740><c> been</c><00:04:00.099><c> no</c><00:04:00.479><c> period</c><00:04:00.960><c> of</c><00:04:01.280><c> time</c>

00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.919
in<00:04:02.000><c> which</c><00:04:02.259><c> so</c><00:04:02.620><c> much</c><00:04:02.919><c> written</c><00:04:03.319><c> revelation</c><00:04:04.139><c> was</c><00:04:04.900><c> given.</c>

00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.580
Twenty<00:04:07.819><c>-two</c><00:04:07.960><c> books</c><00:04:08.639><c> were</c><00:04:09.219><c> written</c><00:04:09.479><c> during</c><00:04:09.879><c> that</c><00:04:10.180><c> period</c>

00:04:10.580 --> 00:04:12.199
and<00:04:10.900><c> parts</c><00:04:11.199><c> of</c><00:04:11.419><c> two</c><00:04:11.680><c> others</c>

00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.599
out<00:04:12.860><c> of</c><00:04:13.020><c> the</c><00:04:13.180><c> 39</c><00:04:13.680><c> books</c><00:04:14.199><c> of</c><00:04:14.659><c> the</c><00:04:14.740><c> Old</c><00:04:14.979><c> Testament.</c>

00:04:16.060 --> 00:04:19.920
So<00:04:16.300><c> it</c><00:04:16.600><c> ought</c><00:04:16.899><c> to</c><00:04:17.100><c> be</c><00:04:17.279><c> a</c><00:04:17.459><c> time</c><00:04:17.639><c> of</c><00:04:17.959><c> great</c><00:04:18.199><c> interest</c><00:04:18.680><c> to</c><00:04:18.959><c> us,</c>

00:04:20.139 --> 00:04:22.220
especially<00:04:20.660><c> as</c><00:04:20.879><c> we</c><00:04:21.100><c> hope</c><00:04:21.279><c> to</c><00:04:21.459><c> be</c><00:04:21.660><c> citizens</c>

00:04:22.220 --> 00:04:25.579

00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.319
And<00:04:26.660><c> within</c><00:04:26.819><c> that</c><00:04:27.319><c> 420</c><00:04:28.339><c>-year</c><00:04:28.639><c> period,</c>

00:04:29.779 --> 00:04:31.699

00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:36.600
in<00:04:34.819><c> the</c><00:04:34.899><c> whole</c><00:04:35.060><c> of</c><00:04:35.279><c> the</c><00:04:35.319><c> Old</c><00:04:35.519><c> Testament.</c>

00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.319
When<00:04:37.620><c> many</c><00:04:38.160><c> Gentile</c><00:04:38.800><c> nations,</c>

00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:41.980

00:04:42.220 --> 00:04:45.180

00:04:50.459 --> 00:04:52.439

00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.339
And<00:06:37.000><c> so</c><00:06:37.160><c> he</c><00:06:37.279><c> was</c><00:06:37.500><c> put</c><00:06:37.720><c> on</c><00:06:37.899><c> the</c><00:06:38.100><c> throne</c>

00:06:38.339 --> 00:06:40.600
because<00:06:38.660><c> his</c><00:06:38.879><c> father</c><00:06:39.379><c> had</c><00:06:39.879><c> been</c><00:06:40.160><c> taken</c>

And<00:08:22.079><c> Isaiah</c><00:08:22.420><c> is</c><00:08:22.699><c> a</c><00:08:22.959><c> warning</c><00:08:23.379><c> to</c><00:08:23.639><c> us</c>

00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:27.220
against<00:08:25.180><c> a</c><00:08:25.860><c> preoccupation</c>

00:08:27.220 --> 00:08:31.379
with<00:08:27.759><c> the</c><00:08:28.060><c> temporal</c><00:08:28.519><c> things</c><00:08:29.220><c> of</c><00:08:29.819><c> this</c><00:08:30.360><c> life.</c>

00:08:32.299 --> 00:08:35.019
The<00:08:32.480><c> Lord</c><00:08:32.820><c> Jesus</c><00:08:33.360><c> Christ</c><00:08:33.879><c> said</c>

00:08:35.220 --> 00:08:36.860
in<00:08:35.700><c> the</c><00:08:35.919><c> days</c><00:08:36.159><c> of</c><00:08:36.460><c> Lot</c>

00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:39.379
they<00:08:37.440><c> did</c><00:08:37.700><c> eat</c><00:08:38.200><c> and</c><00:08:38.620><c> they</c><00:08:38.940><c> drank</c>

00:08:39.379 --> 00:08:41.720
and<00:08:39.820><c> they</c><00:08:40.179><c> bought</c><00:08:40.580><c> and</c><00:08:41.000><c> they</c><00:08:41.340><c> sold</c>

00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.399
and<00:08:42.139><c> they</c><00:08:42.460><c> planted</c><00:08:42.840><c> and</c><00:08:43.360><c> they</c><00:08:43.620><c> built</c><00:08:43.879><c> it.</c>

00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:46.139
And<00:08:44.759><c> we</c><00:08:44.919><c> have</c><00:08:45.179><c> to</c><00:08:45.399><c> eat</c><00:08:45.539><c> and</c><00:08:45.840><c> drink.</c>

00:08:46.500 --> 00:08:48.740
We<00:08:46.759><c> have</c><00:08:47.080><c> to</c><00:08:47.340><c> buy</c><00:08:47.539><c> and</c><00:08:47.919><c> sell.</c>

00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.259
We<00:08:49.279><c> plant</c><00:08:49.759><c> and</c><00:08:50.039><c> we</c><00:08:50.279><c> build.</c>

00:08:51.419 --> 00:08:55.220
All<00:08:51.700><c> those</c><00:08:51.899><c> things</c><00:08:52.139><c> are</c><00:08:52.419><c> necessary</c><00:08:53.080><c> parts</c><00:08:53.559><c> of</c><00:08:53.899><c> this</c><00:08:54.220><c> life.</c>

00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.279
What's<00:08:56.379><c> happening</c><00:08:56.580><c> to</c><00:08:56.820><c> our</c><00:08:57.100><c> spiritual</c><00:08:57.720><c> life</c>

00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.919
if<00:08:58.600><c> we</c><00:08:58.799><c> get</c><00:08:59.159><c> preoccupied</c><00:09:00.080><c> with</c><00:09:00.299><c> these</c><00:09:00.639><c> things</c>

00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:02.620
as<00:09:01.259><c> Isaiah</c><00:09:01.620><c> did?</c>

00:09:03.659 --> 00:09:06.500
So<00:09:03.879><c> we</c><00:09:04.100><c> ought</c><00:09:04.259><c> to</c><00:09:04.500><c> be</c><00:09:04.779><c> asking</c><00:09:05.220><c> ourselves</c><00:09:05.759><c> the</c><00:09:06.059><c> question</c>

00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:08.840
in<00:09:06.919><c> the</c><00:09:07.159><c> light</c><00:09:07.360><c> of</c><00:09:07.519><c> the</c><00:09:07.700><c> life</c><00:09:07.940><c> of</c><00:09:08.139><c> this</c><00:09:08.399><c> King</c>

00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:10.779
where's<00:09:09.559><c> the</c><00:09:09.799><c> balance</c><00:09:10.139><c> in</c><00:09:10.419><c> our</c><00:09:10.580><c> life?</c>

00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:11.720
Where's<00:09:11.159><c> our</c><00:09:11.340><c> focus?</c>

00:09:11.820 --> 00:09:13.700
Is<00:09:11.919><c> it</c><00:09:12.220><c> downward</c><00:09:12.539><c> to</c><00:09:12.740><c> the</c><00:09:12.899><c> things</c><00:09:13.059><c> of</c><00:09:13.279><c> the</c><00:09:13.440><c> earth</c>

00:09:13.700 --> 00:09:17.000
or<00:09:14.159><c> is</c><00:09:14.299><c> it</c><00:09:14.480><c> upward</c><00:09:14.840><c> to</c><00:09:15.279><c> the</c><00:09:15.480><c> things</c><00:09:15.659><c> of</c><00:09:15.860><c> the</c><00:09:16.120><c> spirit?</c>

00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:19.960
Let's<00:09:18.899><c> just</c><00:09:19.200><c> draw</c><00:09:19.340><c> a</c><00:09:19.519><c> contrast.</c>

00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:25.399
Second<00:09:20.379><c> Chronicles,</c><00:09:21.360><c> Chapter</c><00:09:21.799><c> 26</c><00:09:23.120><c> and</c><00:09:23.720><c> Verse</c><00:09:24.019><c> 16.</c>

00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:27.480
When<00:09:26.299><c> he</c><00:09:26.559><c> was</c><00:09:26.940><c> strong,</c>

00:09:27.820 --> 00:09:32.460
his<00:09:28.240><c> heart</c><00:09:28.720><c> was</c><00:09:29.399><c> lifted</c><00:09:29.899><c> up</c><00:09:30.419><c> to</c><00:09:30.919><c> his</c><00:09:31.259><c> destruction.</c>

00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.879
Keep<00:09:33.340><c> a</c><00:09:33.519><c> finger</c><00:09:33.740><c> there</c><00:09:34.019><c> and</c><00:09:34.179><c> turn</c><00:09:34.419><c> back</c><00:09:34.679><c> to</c><00:09:34.840><c> Chapter</c><00:09:35.139><c> 17.</c>

00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.460
Let's<00:09:36.480><c> look</c><00:09:36.700><c> at</c><00:09:36.879><c> Jehoshaphat.</c>

00:09:40.659 --> 00:09:43.340
Second<00:09:40.919><c> Chronicles</c><00:09:41.360><c> 17</c><00:09:41.980><c> and</c><00:09:42.220><c> Verse</c><00:09:42.500><c> 6.</c>

00:09:43.340 --> 00:09:49.799
And<00:09:44.220><c> his</c><00:09:44.740><c> heart</c><00:09:45.000><c> was</c><00:09:45.340><c> lifted</c><00:09:45.700><c> up</c><00:09:46.100><c> in</c><00:09:46.500><c> the</c><00:09:46.799><c> ways</c><00:09:47.240><c> of</c><00:09:47.679><c> the</c><00:09:47.919><c> Lord.</c>

00:09:51.779 --> 00:09:54.179
Isaiah<00:09:51.919><c> was</c><00:09:52.200><c> motivated</c><00:09:52.840><c> by</c><00:09:53.320><c> self</c><00:09:53.639><c>-glory</c>

00:09:54.179 --> 00:09:56.639
not<00:09:54.779><c> the</c><00:09:55.080><c> glory</c><00:09:55.340><c> of</c><00:09:55.659><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:09:57.299 --> 00:09:59.879
So<00:09:57.399><c> it's</c><00:09:57.539><c> a</c><00:09:57.659><c> good</c><00:09:57.879><c> thing</c><00:09:58.200><c> for</c><00:09:58.480><c> our</c><00:09:58.679><c> hearts</c><00:09:58.860><c> to</c><00:09:59.080><c> be</c><00:09:59.320><c> lifted</c><00:09:59.539><c> up</c>

00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:02.720
but<00:10:00.059><c> they've</c><00:10:00.320><c> got</c><00:10:00.399><c> to</c><00:10:00.500><c> be</c><00:10:00.679><c> lifted</c><00:10:00.840><c> up</c><00:10:01.039><c> in</c><00:10:01.179><c> the</c><00:10:01.340><c> right</c><00:10:01.519><c> direction.</c>

00:10:04.659 --> 00:10:07.279
We<00:10:05.100><c> need</c><00:10:05.379><c> to</c><00:10:05.580><c> see</c><00:10:05.860><c> to</c><00:10:06.059><c> it</c><00:10:06.240><c> that</c><00:10:06.399><c> we</c><00:10:06.559><c> are</c><00:10:06.840><c> seeking</c>

00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.620
above<00:10:07.779><c> all</c><00:10:08.159><c> else</c><00:10:08.779><c> to</c><00:10:09.360><c> make</c><00:10:09.620><c> a</c><00:10:10.059><c> spiritual</c><00:10:10.700><c> contribution</c>

00:10:11.620 --> 00:10:14.559
to<00:10:12.299><c> the</c><00:10:12.559><c> life</c><00:10:12.879><c> of</c><00:10:13.179><c> the</c><00:10:13.419><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:17.399
So<00:10:15.919><c> with</c><00:10:16.419><c> that</c><00:10:16.740><c> background</c>

00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:22.179
and<00:10:17.980><c> having</c><00:10:18.299><c> seen</c><00:10:18.740><c> where</c><00:10:18.960><c> the</c><00:10:19.200><c> focus</c><00:10:19.659><c> of</c><00:10:19.960><c> Isaiah's</c><00:10:20.600><c> mind</c><00:10:21.039><c> was</c>

00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:26.580
when<00:10:22.940><c> he</c><00:10:23.379><c> did</c><00:10:23.740><c> try</c><00:10:24.100><c> to</c><00:10:24.320><c> enter</c><00:10:24.580><c> into</c><00:10:24.799><c> the</c><00:10:25.059><c> spiritual</c><00:10:25.539><c> domain</c>

00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:30.039
it's<00:10:26.820><c> hardly</c><00:10:27.179><c> surprising</c><00:10:27.899><c> that</c><00:10:28.179><c> the</c><00:10:28.360><c> result</c><00:10:28.639><c> was</c><00:10:28.960><c> disaster.</c>

00:10:31.139 --> 00:10:34.399
Now<00:10:31.460><c> there</c><00:10:31.860><c> are</c><00:10:32.320><c> clearly</c><00:10:32.679><c> some</c><00:10:33.080><c> in</c><00:10:33.419><c> the</c><00:10:33.580><c> Old</c><00:10:33.779><c> Testament</c>

00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:37.759
who<00:10:34.960><c> acted</c><00:10:35.299><c> as</c><00:10:35.659><c> priests</c><00:10:36.159><c> and</c><00:10:36.700><c> were</c><00:10:37.059><c> accepted.</c>

00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.840
David<00:10:38.779><c> is</c><00:10:39.179><c> a</c><00:10:39.419><c> prime</c><00:10:39.639><c> instance</c><00:10:40.080><c> of</c><00:10:40.279><c> it.</c>

00:10:42.179 --> 00:10:45.940
But<00:10:42.419><c> they</c><00:10:43.000><c> did</c><00:10:43.360><c> not</c><00:10:43.779><c> seek</c><00:10:44.399><c> to</c><00:10:44.919><c> usurp</c>

00:10:45.940 --> 00:10:49.600
the<00:10:46.480><c> responsibilities</c><00:10:47.279><c> of</c><00:10:47.600><c> the</c><00:10:47.759><c> sons</c><00:10:48.080><c> of</c><00:10:48.480><c> Aaron.</c>

00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.919
Now<00:10:51.379><c> Josephus</c><00:10:52.279><c> in</c><00:10:52.759><c> his</c><00:10:53.240><c> Antiquities</c><00:10:53.960><c> of</c><00:10:54.220><c> the</c><00:10:54.440><c> Jews</c>

00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:59.659
has<00:10:55.860><c> a</c><00:10:56.779><c> record</c><00:10:57.279><c> of</c><00:10:58.100><c> this</c><00:10:58.519><c> incident</c><00:10:59.059><c> of</c><00:10:59.279><c> Isaiah</c>

00:10:59.659 --> 00:11:00.860
of<00:10:59.899><c> which</c><00:11:00.059><c> we</c><00:11:00.240><c> have</c><00:11:00.519><c> read.</c>

00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:04.080
And<00:11:01.500><c> this</c><00:11:01.700><c> is</c><00:11:01.860><c> what</c><00:11:02.139><c> Josephus</c><00:11:02.860><c> has</c><00:11:03.139><c> recorded.</c>

00:11:04.700 --> 00:11:07.179
Accordingly,<00:11:05.299><c> when</c><00:11:05.500><c> a</c><00:11:05.659><c> remarkable</c><00:11:06.259><c> day</c><00:11:06.559><c> was</c><00:11:06.899><c> come</c>

00:11:07.179 --> 00:11:10.100
and<00:11:07.639><c> a</c><00:11:07.899><c> general</c><00:11:08.299><c> festival</c><00:11:08.799><c> was</c><00:11:09.039><c> to</c><00:11:09.159><c> be</c><00:11:09.419><c> celebrated</c>

00:11:10.100 --> 00:11:12.580
Isaiah<00:11:11.000><c> put</c><00:11:11.320><c> on</c><00:11:11.580><c> a</c><00:11:11.779><c> holy</c><00:11:12.000><c> garment</c>

00:11:12.580 --> 00:11:15.620
and<00:11:13.159><c> went</c><00:11:13.419><c> into</c><00:11:13.679><c> the</c><00:11:13.879><c> temple</c><00:11:14.220><c> to</c><00:11:14.440><c> offer</c><00:11:14.679><c> incense</c><00:11:15.120><c> to</c><00:11:15.340><c> God</c>

00:11:15.620 --> 00:11:17.399

00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:01.359
God<00:21:00.579><c> punished</c><00:21:01.059><c> them</c>

Verse<00:27:11.599><c> 13</c><00:27:12.099><c> of</c><00:27:12.319><c> Isaiah</c><00:27:12.819><c> five</c>

00:27:13.859 --> 00:27:17.140
Therefore<00:27:14.880><c> my</c><00:27:15.259><c> people</c><00:27:15.680><c> are</c><00:27:15.920><c> gone</c><00:27:16.079><c> into</c><00:27:16.359><c> captivity</c>

00:27:17.140 --> 00:27:19.440

00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:22.119
and<00:27:20.359><c> their</c><00:27:20.500><c> honorable</c><00:27:20.920><c> men</c><00:27:21.200><c> are</c><00:27:21.539><c> famished</c>

00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:25.220

00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:26.980
And<00:27:25.880><c> there</c><00:27:26.000><c> is</c><00:27:26.000><c> a</c><00:27:26.180><c> contrast</c><00:27:26.579><c> there.</c>

00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:29.400
We<00:27:27.420><c> saw</c><00:27:27.920><c> the</c><00:27:28.259><c> two</c><00:27:28.500><c> liftings</c><00:27:29.039><c> up.</c>

00:27:29.900 --> 00:27:32.579
Isaiah's<00:27:30.279><c> heart</c><00:27:30.460><c> was</c><00:27:30.740><c> lifted</c><00:27:30.980><c> up</c><00:27:31.200><c> to</c><00:27:31.319><c> his</c><00:27:31.460><c> destruction.</c>

00:27:32.700 --> 00:27:35.099
Jehoshaphat's<00:27:33.180><c> heart</c><00:27:33.480><c> was</c><00:27:33.720><c> lifted</c><00:27:33.940><c> up</c><00:27:34.140><c> in</c><00:27:34.299><c> the</c><00:27:34.480><c> ways</c><00:27:34.640><c> of</c><00:27:34.839><c> the</c><00:27:34.960><c> Lord.</c>

00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:36.400
And<00:27:35.460><c> what</c><00:27:35.619><c> did</c><00:27:35.839><c> he</c><00:27:36.019><c> do?</c>

00:27:36.740 --> 00:27:38.859
He<00:27:36.940><c> sent</c><00:27:37.160><c> his</c><00:27:37.500><c> priests</c><00:27:37.759><c> and</c><00:27:37.960><c> his</c><00:27:38.180><c> Levites</c><00:27:38.599><c> out</c>

00:27:38.859 --> 00:27:41.500

00:27:41.900 --> 00:27:44.880
So<00:27:42.220><c> his</c><00:27:42.500><c> people</c><00:27:43.319><c> did</c><00:27:43.740><c> not</c><00:27:43.900><c> go</c><00:27:44.079><c> into</c><00:27:44.259><c> captivity</c>

00:27:48.059 --> 00:27:50.140
But<00:27:48.539><c> Isaiah's</c><00:27:49.019><c> focus</c><00:27:49.440><c> was</c><00:27:49.759><c> downwards</c>

00:27:50.140 --> 00:27:52.240
onto<00:27:50.400><c> the</c><00:27:50.660><c> things</c><00:27:50.839><c> of</c><00:27:51.059><c> the</c><00:27:51.259><c> ground.</c>

00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:54.019
He<00:27:52.599><c> didn't</c><00:27:52.940><c> send</c><00:27:53.200><c> the</c><00:27:53.460><c> priests</c><00:27:53.700><c> out.</c>

00:27:54.339 --> 00:27:56.240
The<00:27:54.539><c> priests</c><00:27:54.680><c> had</c><00:27:54.900><c> to</c><00:27:55.119><c> defend</c><00:27:55.460><c> the</c><00:27:55.660><c> holy</c><00:27:55.859><c> things</c>

00:28:00.259 --> 00:28:03.619
So<00:28:00.519><c> we</c><00:28:00.859><c> come</c><00:28:01.099><c> to</c><00:28:01.380><c> Isaiah</c><00:28:01.740><c> chapter</c><00:28:02.119><c> six.</c>

00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:06.420
The<00:28:03.859><c> death</c><00:28:04.299><c> of</c><00:28:04.859><c> the</c><00:28:05.000><c> leprous</c><00:28:05.500><c> king.</c>

00:28:17.740 --> 00:28:21.220

00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:25.839
Isaiah<00:28:21.839><c> was</c><00:28:22.240><c> shown</c><00:28:22.920><c> the</c><00:28:23.259><c> glory</c><00:28:23.579><c> of</c><00:28:23.819><c> God</c><00:28:24.200><c> in</c><00:28:24.680><c> his</c><00:28:24.900><c> temple.</c>

00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:39.720
I<00:32:36.660><c> am</c><00:32:36.900><c> absolutely</c><00:32:37.559><c> convinced</c><00:32:38.299><c> that</c><00:32:38.680><c> all</c><00:32:39.039><c> the</c><00:32:39.299><c> numbers</c>

00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:43.619

00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:45.359
When<00:32:44.200><c> we</c><00:32:44.460><c> meet</c><00:32:44.759><c> problems,</c>

00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:48.220
it's<00:32:45.619><c> because</c><00:32:45.920><c> we</c><00:32:46.259><c> don't</c><00:32:46.559><c> understand</c><00:32:47.039><c> what's</c><00:32:47.500><c> going</c><00:32:47.700><c> on,</c>

00:32:48.339 --> 00:32:51.240

00:32:51.859 --> 00:32:54.779

00:32:54.779 --> 00:32:56.220

00:32:56.220 --> 00:32:58.380
and<00:32:56.619><c> when</c><00:32:56.779><c> they</c><00:32:56.980><c> couldn't</c><00:32:57.339><c> understand</c><00:32:57.900><c> the</c><00:32:58.140><c> numbers,</c>

00:32:58.420 --> 00:33:00.339

00:33:00.900 --> 00:33:03.759
What<00:33:01.000><c> we</c><00:33:01.339><c> need</c><00:33:01.539><c> to</c><00:33:01.799><c> do</c><00:33:01.980><c> is</c><00:33:02.279><c> look</c><00:33:02.539><c> at</c><00:33:02.720><c> the</c><00:33:02.799><c> numbers</c><00:33:03.119><c> we</c><00:33:03.319><c> are</c><00:33:03.519><c> given</c>

00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:05.880
and<00:33:04.039><c> think</c><00:33:04.359><c> what</c><00:33:04.519><c> they</c><00:33:04.720><c> might</c><00:33:05.000><c> mean.</c>

00:33:06.380 --> 00:33:10.720
So,<00:33:06.720><c> 2</c><00:33:06.819><c> Kings</c><00:33:07.119><c> chapter</c><00:33:07.440><c> 15</c><00:33:08.119><c> and</c><00:33:08.559><c> verse</c><00:33:09.599><c> 32.</c>

00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:12.779
In<00:33:11.400><c> the</c><00:33:11.660><c> second</c><00:33:11.940><c> year</c><00:33:12.200><c> of</c><00:33:12.440><c> Pekah,</c>

00:33:18.859 --> 00:33:22.079
Five<00:33:19.220><c> and</c><00:33:19.440><c> twenty</c><00:33:19.759><c> years</c><00:33:20.140><c> old</c><00:33:20.380><c> was</c><00:33:20.680><c> he</c><00:33:20.859><c> when</c><00:33:21.000><c> he</c><00:33:21.200><c> began</c><00:33:21.500><c> to</c><00:33:21.799><c> reign,</c>

00:33:22.339 --> 00:33:25.420

00:33:25.700 --> 00:33:26.740
Perfectly<00:33:26.240><c> straightforward.</c>

00:33:26.900 --> 00:33:28.960
Twenty<00:33:27.299><c>-five</c><00:33:27.460><c> years</c><00:33:27.680><c> old</c><00:33:27.940><c> and</c><00:33:28.119><c> he</c><00:33:28.160><c> begins</c><00:33:28.440><c> to</c><00:33:28.960><c> reign</c>

00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:31.119
and<00:33:29.200><c> he</c><00:33:29.339><c> reigns</c><00:33:29.539><c> for</c><00:33:29.660><c> sixteen</c><00:33:30.039><c> years.</c>

00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:35.259
But,<00:33:31.900><c> verse</c><00:33:32.819><c> 30</c><00:33:33.299><c> of</c><00:33:33.500><c> the</c><00:33:33.720><c> same</c><00:33:34.079><c> chapter</c><00:33:34.559><c> says</c>

00:33:35.259 --> 00:33:37.859
that<00:33:36.019><c> Hosea,</c><00:33:36.920><c> the</c><00:33:37.039><c> son</c><00:33:37.200><c> of</c><00:33:37.380><c> Elah,</c>

00:33:38.059 --> 00:33:41.220
made<00:33:38.299><c> a</c><00:33:38.519><c> conspiracy</c><00:33:39.079><c> against</c><00:33:39.519><c> Pekah</c><00:33:39.980><c> the</c><00:33:40.099><c> son</c><00:33:40.380><c> of</c><00:33:40.559><c> Remaliah</c>

and<00:33:41.700><c> smote</c><00:33:42.059><c> him</c><00:33:42.319><c> and</c><00:33:42.519><c> slew</c><00:33:42.759><c> him</c>

00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:44.660
and<00:33:43.700><c> reigned</c><00:33:44.000><c> in</c><00:33:44.180><c> his</c><00:33:44.460><c> stead</c>

00:33:44.660 --> 00:33:49.079
in<00:33:45.140><c> the</c><00:33:45.420><c> twentieth</c><00:33:46.019><c> year</c><00:33:46.579><c> of</c><00:33:46.940><c> Jotham,</c><00:33:47.640><c> son</c><00:33:47.880><c> of</c><00:33:48.059><c> Isaiah.</c>

00:33:49.700 --> 00:33:52.220
But<00:33:49.859><c> verse</c><00:33:50.039><c> 33</c><00:33:50.500><c> has</c><00:33:50.759><c> told</c><00:33:50.900><c> us</c><00:33:51.039><c> he</c><00:33:51.200><c> reigned</c><00:33:51.440><c> sixteen</c><00:33:51.920><c> years.</c>

00:33:52.220 --> 00:33:55.420
So<00:33:52.460><c> how</c><00:33:52.619><c> can</c><00:33:52.799><c> an</c><00:33:52.960><c> event</c><00:33:53.099><c> take</c><00:33:53.460><c> place</c><00:33:53.779><c> in</c><00:33:53.920><c> his</c><00:33:54.079><c> twentieth</c><00:33:54.500><c> year?</c>

00:33:58.380 --> 00:34:01.920
I<00:33:58.779><c> suggest</c><00:33:59.180><c> that</c><00:33:59.420><c> the</c><00:33:59.579><c> answer</c><00:33:59.900><c> to</c><00:34:00.099><c> this</c><00:34:00.519><c> particular</c><00:34:01.259><c> conundrum</c>

00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:05.880
is<00:34:02.640><c> that</c><00:34:03.400><c> just</c><00:34:03.940><c> as</c><00:34:04.200><c> there</c><00:34:04.420><c> was</c><00:34:04.720><c> a</c><00:34:05.039><c> co</c><00:34:05.359><c>-regency</c>

00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:08.840
at<00:34:06.299><c> the</c><00:34:06.460><c> beginning</c><00:34:06.980><c> of</c><00:34:07.920><c> Jotham's</c><00:34:08.519><c> reign</c>

00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:13.360

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:17.079
so<00:34:13.940><c> there</c><00:34:14.119><c> was</c><00:34:14.340><c> a</c><00:34:14.519><c> co</c><00:34:14.800><c>-regency</c><00:34:15.300><c> at</c><00:34:15.480><c> the</c><00:34:15.699><c> end</c><00:34:15.940><c> of</c><00:34:16.179><c> Jotham's</c><00:34:16.780><c> reign</c>

00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:21.239

00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:26.739
So<00:34:23.719><c> he</c><00:34:24.280><c> reigned</c><00:34:25.119><c> effectively</c><00:34:25.880><c> as</c><00:34:26.219><c> sole</c><00:34:26.460><c> king</c>

00:34:26.739 --> 00:34:29.420
because<00:34:27.139><c> Isaiah</c><00:34:27.440><c> was</c><00:34:27.659><c> out</c><00:34:27.840><c> of</c><00:34:27.960><c> the</c><00:34:28.079><c> picture</c><00:34:28.340><c> for</c><00:34:28.539><c> sixteen</c><00:34:28.980><c> years.</c>

00:34:29.699 --> 00:34:32.519
But<00:34:29.840><c> for</c><00:34:30.119><c> the</c><00:34:30.199><c> last</c><00:34:30.480><c> four,</c><00:34:30.940><c> maybe</c><00:34:31.300><c> a</c><00:34:31.300><c> little</c><00:34:31.579><c> longer,</c><00:34:32.320><c> years</c>

of<00:34:32.699><c> his</c><00:34:32.940><c> reign,</c>

00:34:34.099 --> 00:34:36.059
Ahaz,<00:34:34.340><c> and</c><00:34:34.500><c> we</c><00:34:34.579><c> shall</c><00:34:34.760><c> see</c><00:34:34.980><c> this</c><00:34:35.179><c> as</c><00:34:35.340><c> we</c><00:34:35.500><c> go</c><00:34:35.760><c> through,</c>

00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:38.900
became<00:34:36.699><c> the</c><00:34:36.940><c> real</c><00:34:37.239><c> power</c><00:34:37.639><c> in</c><00:34:37.820><c> the</c><00:34:38.000><c> land.</c>

00:34:40.539 --> 00:34:44.039
So<00:34:40.920><c> the</c><00:34:41.199><c> event</c><00:34:41.780><c> of</c><00:34:42.320><c> Hosea</c><00:34:42.780><c> making</c><00:34:43.179><c> conspiracy</c>

00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:47.159
occurred<00:34:44.780><c> twenty</c><00:34:45.179><c> years</c><00:34:45.559><c> after</c><00:34:45.880><c> Jotham</c><00:34:46.260><c> came</c><00:34:46.579><c> to</c><00:34:46.739><c> the</c><00:34:46.960><c> throne</c>

00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:48.900

00:34:48.900 --> 00:34:54.360

00:34:55.300 --> 00:34:58.920
Now,<00:34:56.099><c> Isaiah</c><00:34:56.239><c> had</c><00:34:56.639><c> started</c><00:34:56.900><c> a</c><00:34:57.099><c> great</c><00:34:57.340><c> military</c><00:34:57.760><c> program</c><00:34:58.300><c> in</c><00:34:58.679><c> Judah</c>

00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:04.099
We<00:35:01.159><c> read</c><00:35:01.340><c> about</c><00:35:01.599><c> that</c><00:35:02.079><c> in</c><00:35:02.519><c> 2</c><00:35:02.780><c> Chronicles</c><00:35:03.239><c> 26.</c>

And<00:35:45.239><c> then</c><00:35:45.380><c> it</c><00:35:45.679><c> stopped.</c>

00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:48.599
Why<00:35:47.280><c> did</c><00:35:47.480><c> it</c><00:35:47.679><c> stop?</c>

00:35:51.019 --> 00:35:56.519
Was<00:35:51.340><c> it</c><00:35:51.519><c> at</c><00:35:51.639><c> this</c><00:35:51.880><c> time</c><00:35:52.519><c> that</c><00:35:53.539><c> Ahaz,</c><00:35:54.579><c> the</c><00:35:54.800><c> son</c><00:35:55.199><c> of</c><00:35:55.539><c> Jotham,</c>

00:36:06.980 --> 00:36:09.159
We'll<00:36:07.400><c> see</c><00:36:07.599><c> when</c><00:36:07.739><c> we</c><00:36:07.860><c> look</c><00:36:08.039><c> at</c><00:36:08.179><c> Ahaz</c><00:36:08.460><c> in</c><00:36:08.639><c> a</c><00:36:08.800><c> minute</c>

00:36:52.619 --> 00:36:55.900
In<00:36:52.800><c> those</c><00:36:53.280><c> days</c><00:36:53.659><c> the</c><00:36:53.860><c> Lord</c><00:36:54.159><c> began</c><00:36:54.559><c> to</c><00:36:54.880><c> send</c><00:36:55.079><c> against</c><00:36:55.480><c> Judah,</c>

00:36:59.880 --> 00:37:00.360
Why?

00:37:00.780 --> 00:37:02.880
Must<00:37:01.059><c> have</c><00:37:01.199><c> been</c><00:37:01.340><c> something</c><00:37:01.659><c> going</c><00:37:01.940><c> wrong</c><00:37:02.219><c> in</c><00:37:02.380><c> the</c><00:37:02.579><c> kingdom</c>

00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:14.639
And<00:37:10.380><c> again</c><00:37:10.599><c> I</c><00:37:10.780><c> suggest</c><00:37:11.079><c> that's</c><00:37:11.400><c> a</c><00:37:11.480><c> hint</c><00:37:11.800><c> of</c><00:37:12.380><c> the</c><00:37:12.619><c> Ahaz</c><00:37:13.119><c> influence.</c>

There<00:42:47.599><c> are</c><00:42:47.860><c> three</c><00:42:48.139><c> possibilities.</c>

00:42:50.460 --> 00:42:52.079
First<00:42:50.760><c> possibility,</c>

00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:54.300
that<00:42:52.260><c> the</c><00:42:52.400><c> child</c><00:42:52.719><c> was</c><00:42:53.059><c> Hezekiah.</c>

00:42:54.960 --> 00:42:57.820
That<00:42:55.400><c> creates</c><00:42:55.860><c> huge</c><00:42:56.360><c> chronological</c><00:42:57.099><c> problems</c>

00:42:57.820 --> 00:43:03.039
because<00:42:59.539><c> Ahaz</c><00:43:00.480><c> reigned</c><00:43:01.059><c> for</c><00:43:01.679><c> 20</c><00:43:02.239><c> years</c>

00:43:03.039 --> 00:43:05.280
and<00:43:03.559><c> Hezekiah</c><00:43:04.119><c> was</c><00:43:04.320><c> 25</c><00:43:04.940><c> years</c>

00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:07.059
when<00:43:05.420><c> he</c><00:43:05.519><c> came</c><00:43:05.820><c> to</c><00:43:05.980><c> the</c><00:43:06.199><c> throne.</c>

00:43:07.300 --> 00:43:09.199
So<00:43:07.480><c> Hezekiah</c><00:43:07.920><c> was</c><00:43:08.159><c> born</c>

00:43:09.059 --> 00:43:11.280
before<00:43:09.380><c> Ahaz</c><00:43:09.860><c> became</c><00:43:10.300><c> king.</c>

00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:13.820
So<00:43:11.579><c> I</c><00:43:11.679><c> don't</c><00:43:11.920><c> think</c><00:43:12.119><c> it</c><00:43:12.219><c> can</c><00:43:12.420><c> be</c><00:43:12.519><c> Hezekiah.</c>

00:43:14.380 --> 00:43:16.820
Second<00:43:14.800><c> possibility</c><00:43:15.519><c> is</c><00:43:15.860><c> that</c><00:43:16.039><c> the</c><00:43:16.260><c> child</c>

00:43:16.820 --> 00:43:20.099
was<00:43:17.440><c> Meher</c><00:43:17.960><c> Shalal</c><00:43:18.460><c> Hashbaz</c>

00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:24.840
whose<00:43:20.820><c> birth</c><00:43:21.280><c> is</c><00:43:21.579><c> recorded</c><00:43:22.300><c> in</c><00:43:23.039><c> chapter</c><00:43:23.400><c> 8.</c>

00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:28.320
And<00:43:25.980><c> who</c><00:43:26.139><c> was</c><00:43:26.320><c> indeed</c><00:43:26.760><c> a</c><00:43:26.920><c> child</c><00:43:27.199><c> of</c><00:43:27.500><c> sign.</c>

00:43:29.780 --> 00:43:32.119
But<00:43:30.400><c> the</c><00:43:30.699><c> prophecy</c><00:43:31.019><c> is</c><00:43:31.300><c> about</c><00:43:31.519><c> a</c><00:43:31.860><c> virgin</c>

00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:34.019
who<00:43:32.300><c> is</c><00:43:32.519><c> going</c><00:43:32.699><c> to</c><00:43:32.980><c> conceive.</c>

00:43:34.519 --> 00:43:37.340
So<00:43:35.039><c> did</c><00:43:35.380><c> Isaiah</c><00:43:35.780><c> have</c><00:43:36.059><c> two</c><00:43:36.400><c> wives?</c>

00:43:37.579 --> 00:43:39.119
Is<00:43:37.800><c> Meher</c><00:43:38.139><c> Shalal</c><00:43:38.480><c> Hashbaz</c>

00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:41.880
in<00:43:39.300><c> fact</c><00:43:39.559><c> Shia</c><00:43:39.900><c> Jason's</c><00:43:40.500><c> half</c><00:43:40.900><c>-brother?</c>

00:43:42.679 --> 00:43:44.119
The<00:43:42.900><c> third</c><00:43:43.320><c> possibility</c>

00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:47.900
is<00:43:45.119><c> that</c><00:43:45.360><c> the</c><00:43:45.639><c> virgin</c><00:43:46.159><c> is</c><00:43:46.900><c> Zion.</c>

00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:50.739
Turn<00:43:48.480><c> with</c><00:43:48.679><c> me</c><00:43:48.920><c> to</c><00:43:49.159><c> Isaiah</c><00:43:49.519><c> chapter</c><00:43:49.940><c> 37</c>

00:43:50.739 --> 00:43:53.019
and<00:43:51.360><c> verse</c><00:43:51.659><c> 3.</c>

00:43:59.360 --> 00:44:01.860
In<00:43:59.500><c> the</c><00:43:59.800><c> time</c><00:44:00.039><c> of</c><00:44:00.260><c> the</c><00:44:00.420><c> invasion</c><00:44:00.880><c> of</c><00:44:01.119><c> Sennacherib,</c>

00:44:01.860 --> 00:44:03.260
when<00:44:02.639><c> Hezekiah,</c>

00:44:03.260 --> 00:44:04.579
and<00:44:03.440><c> we</c><00:44:03.500><c> shall</c><00:44:03.619><c> look</c><00:44:03.860><c> at</c><00:44:03.960><c> this</c>

00:44:04.579 --> 00:44:06.800

00:44:11.099 --> 00:44:13.039
And<00:44:11.360><c> he</c><00:44:11.519><c> sends</c><00:44:11.760><c> a</c><00:44:11.880><c> message</c><00:44:12.280><c> to</c><00:44:12.519><c> Isaiah,</c>

00:44:16.539 --> 00:44:17.380
And<00:44:16.539><c> they</c><00:44:16.719><c> said</c><00:44:16.880><c> unto</c><00:44:17.119><c> him,</c>

00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:18.699
Thus<00:44:17.659><c> said</c><00:44:17.880><c> Hezekiah,</c>

00:44:18.980 --> 00:44:20.460
This<00:44:19.219><c> day</c><00:44:19.460><c> is</c><00:44:19.639><c> a</c><00:44:19.780><c> day</c><00:44:19.900><c> of</c><00:44:20.159><c> trouble</c>

and<00:44:20.719><c> of</c><00:44:20.980><c> rebuke</c><00:44:21.300><c> and</c><00:44:21.440><c> of</c><00:44:21.659><c> blasphemy,</c>

00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:26.119
