00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:38.439

00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.040
Well,<00:04:44.579><c> they</c><00:04:44.699><c> knew,</c><00:04:45.399><c> first</c><00:04:45.660><c> of</c><00:04:45.899><c> all,</c><00:04:46.279><c> the</c><00:04:46.399><c> day</c><00:04:46.579><c> of</c><00:04:46.699><c> the</c><00:04:46.819><c> Lord</c><00:04:46.980><c> would</c><00:04:47.259><c> come</c><00:04:47.500><c> as</c>

00:04:49.259 --> 00:04:51.259
So<00:04:49.439><c> let's</c><00:04:49.720><c> ponder</c><00:04:50.019><c> that</c><00:04:50.199><c> for</c><00:04:50.379><c> a</c><00:04:50.519><c> moment.</c>

00:04:59.459 --> 00:04:59.959
would<00:04:59.600><c> happen</c>

00:04:59.959 --> 00:05:01.759

00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.000

00:05:15.939 --> 00:05:18.500

00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.000
It's<00:05:21.800><c> going</c><00:05:21.939><c> to</c><00:05:22.100><c> happen.</c>

00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.800
Now<00:05:23.920><c> a</c><00:05:24.519><c> thief</c><00:05:24.860><c> may</c><00:05:25.160><c> choose</c><00:05:25.579><c> to</c><00:05:26.420><c> break</c><00:05:26.720><c> into</c><00:05:26.899><c> our</c><00:05:27.160><c> home</c><00:05:27.439><c> or</c><00:05:27.639><c> he</c>

And<00:05:41.240><c> those</c><00:05:41.459><c> who</c><00:05:41.639><c> haven't</c><00:05:41.920><c> think</c><00:05:42.240><c> that</c><00:05:42.439><c> perhaps</c><00:05:42.639><c> it</c><00:05:42.779><c> will</c><00:05:42.879><c> never</c><00:05:43.120><c> happen</c><00:05:43.360><c> to</c><00:05:43.560><c> them.</c>

00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.740
Well,<00:05:44.339><c> brothers</c><00:05:44.500><c> and</c><00:05:44.680><c> sisters,</c><00:05:45.019><c> the</c><00:05:45.279><c> Lord's</c><00:05:45.639><c> going</c><00:05:45.720><c> to</c><00:05:45.920><c> come.</c>

Oh<00:05:47.180><c> yes,</c><00:05:47.360><c> like</c><00:05:47.639><c> a</c><00:05:47.839><c> thief,</c><00:05:48.279><c> but</c><00:05:48.439><c> thief</c><00:05:48.740><c> like</c><00:05:48.980><c> he</c><00:05:49.199><c> will</c><00:05:49.500><c> come.</c>

00:05:50.420 --> 00:05:52.300
And<00:05:50.620><c> that's</c><00:05:50.800><c> what</c><00:05:50.939><c> we</c><00:05:51.120><c> know</c><00:05:51.319><c> accurately.</c>

00:05:52.980 --> 00:05:54.980
And<00:05:53.160><c> so</c><00:05:53.279><c> this</c><00:05:53.500><c> good</c><00:05:53.759><c> man</c><00:05:54.000><c> of</c><00:05:54.139><c> the</c><00:05:54.279><c> house,</c><00:05:54.420><c> you</c><00:05:54.660><c> see,</c>

00:05:55.139 --> 00:05:57.180
it<00:05:55.300><c> wasn't</c><00:05:55.560><c> a</c><00:05:55.720><c> question</c><00:05:55.939><c> of</c><00:05:56.019><c> knowing</c><00:05:56.279><c> what</c><00:05:56.519><c> matter</c><00:05:56.680><c> of</c><00:05:56.879><c> time,</c>

00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:00.779
That's<00:05:59.720><c> the</c><00:05:59.899><c> issue.</c>

00:06:01.180 --> 00:06:02.860
And<00:06:01.420><c> nobody</c><00:06:01.600><c> would</c><00:06:01.860><c> know</c><00:06:02.040><c> when</c><00:06:02.199><c> that</c><00:06:02.319><c> would</c><00:06:02.459><c> happen.</c>

00:06:03.339 --> 00:06:06.339
Now<00:06:03.560><c> the</c><00:06:03.860><c> parallel</c><00:06:04.079><c> goes</c><00:06:04.319><c> on</c><00:06:04.560><c> to</c><00:06:04.740><c> say</c><00:06:04.959><c> that</c><00:06:05.480><c> if</c><00:06:06.019><c> he'd</c><00:06:06.220><c> have</c>

00:06:11.060 --> 00:06:14.040
And<00:06:11.259><c> it's</c><00:06:11.420><c> a</c><00:06:11.500><c> rather</c><00:06:11.680><c> interesting</c><00:06:12.079><c> thing</c><00:06:12.339><c> that</c><00:06:13.220><c> the</c><00:06:13.399><c> word</c><00:06:13.600><c> here</c><00:06:13.879><c> in</c>

00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.980
Now<00:06:25.740><c> that</c><00:06:26.000><c> word</c><00:06:26.240><c> in</c><00:06:26.379><c> the</c><00:06:26.560><c> Greek,</c><00:06:26.839><c> broken</c><00:06:27.199><c> up,</c><00:06:27.439><c> really</c><00:06:27.680><c> means</c>

Because<00:25:30.279><c> the</c><00:25:30.480><c> grace</c><00:25:30.680><c> of</c><00:25:30.960><c> God</c><00:25:31.519><c> is</c><00:25:31.940><c> seen</c><00:25:32.539><c> in</c><00:25:33.819><c> giving</c><00:25:34.059><c> help</c><00:25:34.380><c> in</c>

The<00:26:08.960><c> much</c><00:26:09.359><c> variegated</c><00:26:10.339><c> wisdom</c><00:26:10.980><c> of</c><00:26:11.279><c> God</c><00:26:11.839><c> or</c><00:26:12.440><c> grace</c><00:26:12.720><c> of</c><00:26:12.960><c> God</c>

He<00:34:06.660><c> was</c><00:34:06.880><c> something</c><00:34:07.240><c> externally</c><00:34:07.980><c> and</c><00:34:08.440><c> he</c><00:34:08.460><c> was</c><00:34:08.679><c> something</c><00:34:08.960><c> else</c><00:34:09.400><c> internally.</c>

00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:13.219
And<00:34:10.340><c> because</c><00:34:10.679><c> he</c><00:34:10.980><c> represented,</c><00:34:11.579><c> brothers</c><00:34:11.739><c> and</c><00:34:11.980><c> sisters,</c><00:34:12.659><c> a</c><00:34:12.780><c> hypocrite</c>

00:34:13.219 --> 00:34:15.599
who<00:34:13.420><c> acted</c><00:34:13.679><c> one</c><00:34:14.019><c> way</c><00:34:14.300><c> here</c><00:34:14.639><c> and</c><00:34:14.960><c> another</c><00:34:15.219><c> way</c><00:34:15.480><c> there</c>

00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:18.559
the<00:34:15.719><c> Lord</c><00:34:15.960><c> cut</c><00:34:16.300><c> him</c><00:34:16.460><c> in</c><00:34:16.800><c> two</c><00:34:16.960><c> to</c><00:34:17.099><c> show</c><00:34:17.260><c> him</c><00:34:17.400><c> what</c><00:34:17.519><c> he</c><00:34:17.679><c> was.</c>

00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:22.039
And<00:34:19.739><c> he</c><00:34:19.860><c> gave</c><00:34:20.019><c> those</c><00:34:20.300><c> two</c><00:34:20.539><c> pieces</c><00:34:20.800><c> to</c><00:34:20.960><c> the</c><00:34:21.099><c> hypocrites.</c>

00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:24.719
He<00:34:23.260><c> said,</c><00:34:23.519><c> that's</c><00:34:23.539><c> how</c><00:34:23.739><c> you</c><00:34:23.920><c> appeared</c><00:34:24.139><c> in</c><00:34:24.300><c> the</c><00:34:24.400><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:27.139
You<00:34:25.280><c> said</c><00:34:25.500><c> these</c><00:34:25.739><c> things</c><00:34:25.900><c> in</c><00:34:26.059><c> your</c><00:34:26.280><c> heart,</c><00:34:26.719><c> but</c><00:34:26.840><c> that's</c><00:34:27.039><c> how</c>

00:34:27.139 --> 00:34:27.760
you<00:34:27.360><c> appeared</c>

00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:29.820
but<00:34:28.019><c> that's</c><00:34:28.219><c> what</c><00:34:28.340><c> you</c><00:34:28.519><c> really</c><00:34:28.780><c> were</c><00:34:28.980><c> like.</c>

00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:31.800
So<00:34:30.320><c> he</c><00:34:30.360><c> cut</c><00:34:30.519><c> him</c><00:34:30.699><c> in</c><00:34:30.880><c> two.</c>

00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:35.420
And<00:34:32.340><c> that's</c><00:34:32.480><c> exactly</c><00:34:32.780><c> what</c><00:34:32.940><c> the</c><00:34:33.099><c> Greek</c><00:34:33.239><c> word</c><00:34:33.400><c> means,</c><00:34:33.659><c> to</c><00:34:33.900><c> bisect,</c><00:34:35.179><c> cut</c>

00:34:35.420 --> 00:34:36.579
in<00:34:35.719><c> two.</c>

00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:39.679
And<00:34:37.239><c> he</c><00:34:37.320><c> gave</c><00:34:37.579><c> that</c><00:34:38.159><c> to</c><00:34:38.719><c> the</c><00:34:38.860><c> hypocrites</c><00:34:39.199><c> because</c><00:34:39.340><c> that's</c><00:34:39.639><c> who</c>

00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:40.260
he<00:34:39.860><c> belonged</c><00:34:40.099><c> to.</c>

00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:45.059
He's<00:34:40.840><c> serving</c><00:34:41.059><c> them,</c><00:34:41.679><c> so</c><00:34:41.960><c> that's</c><00:34:42.880><c> the</c><00:34:43.039><c> portion</c><00:34:43.400><c> that</c><00:34:44.000><c> they</c><00:34:44.219><c> got.</c>

00:34:45.179 --> 00:34:46.500
Isn't<00:34:45.340><c> that</c><00:34:45.500><c> interesting?</c>

00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:48.280
Frightening,<00:34:47.400><c> really.</c>

00:34:49.460 --> 00:34:53.659
Now<00:34:49.639><c> the</c><00:34:49.739><c> ten</c><00:34:49.980><c> virgins</c><00:34:50.400><c> follow,</c><00:34:52.219><c> preparing</c><00:34:52.519><c> this.</c>

00:34:54.659 --> 00:34:57.719
Then<00:34:54.960><c> shall</c><00:34:55.119><c> the</c><00:34:55.260><c> kingdom</c><00:34:55.519><c> of</c><00:34:55.699><c> heaven</c><00:34:55.920><c> be</c><00:34:56.440><c> like</c><00:34:56.619><c> an</c><00:34:56.780><c> unto</c><00:34:56.940><c> ten</c><00:34:57.260><c> virgins</c>

00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:01.219
which<00:34:58.159><c> took</c><00:34:58.380><c> their</c><00:34:58.619><c> lamps</c><00:34:58.860><c> and</c><00:34:59.039><c> went</c><00:34:59.280><c> forth</c><00:34:59.579><c> to</c><00:34:59.820><c> meet</c><00:35:00.039><c> the</c><00:35:00.320><c> bridegroom.</c>

00:35:01.739 --> 00:35:02.139
Ten.

00:35:02.539 --> 00:35:05.579
Now<00:35:02.940><c> ten,</c><00:35:03.300><c> brothers</c><00:35:03.480><c> and</c><00:35:03.659><c> sisters,</c><00:35:04.000><c> is</c><00:35:04.199><c> an</c><00:35:04.420><c> unspecified</c>

00:35:05.579 --> 00:35:06.579
aggregate<00:35:06.039><c> number</c>

00:35:06.579 --> 00:35:07.719
when<00:35:06.920><c> it's</c><00:35:07.139><c> used</c><00:35:07.300><c> in</c><00:35:07.440><c> the</c><00:35:07.579><c> Bible.</c>

00:35:07.820 --> 00:35:10.420
It<00:35:07.860><c> doesn't</c><00:35:08.119><c> really</c><00:35:08.420><c> mean</c><00:35:08.599><c> that</c><00:35:08.659><c> there</c><00:35:08.780><c> were</c><00:35:08.920><c> exactly</c><00:35:09.300><c> ten.</c>

00:35:10.579 --> 00:35:11.579
How<00:35:10.840><c> do</c><00:35:11.000><c> we</c><00:35:11.019><c> know</c><00:35:11.320><c> that?</c>

00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:12.840
How<00:35:11.860><c> can</c><00:35:12.019><c> we</c><00:35:12.119><c> be</c><00:35:12.340><c> sure</c><00:35:12.539><c> of</c><00:35:12.679><c> that?</c>

00:35:13.019 --> 00:35:14.719
Well,<00:35:13.179><c> you</c><00:35:13.260><c> just</c><00:35:13.440><c> listen</c><00:35:13.619><c> to</c><00:35:13.780><c> this.</c>

00:35:14.820 --> 00:35:18.840
You<00:35:14.900><c> know,</c><00:35:15.159><c> in</c><00:35:15.239><c> Genesis</c><00:35:15.539><c> 31,</c><00:35:17.099><c> Laban</c><00:35:17.440><c> changed</c><00:35:17.880><c> Jacob's</c><00:35:18.500><c> wages</c>

ten<00:35:19.280><c> times.</c>

00:35:20.219 --> 00:35:22.559
He<00:35:20.400><c> would</c><00:35:20.559><c> have</c><00:35:20.719><c> changed</c><00:35:20.900><c> them</c><00:35:21.039><c> more</c><00:35:21.280><c> than</c><00:35:21.420><c> ten</c><00:35:21.639><c> times.</c>

00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:25.699
In<00:35:22.900><c> Leviticus</c><00:35:23.260><c> 26,</c><00:35:24.139><c> when</c><00:35:24.539><c> God</c><00:35:24.780><c> speaks</c><00:35:25.079><c> of</c><00:35:25.219><c> the</c><00:35:25.500><c> siege</c>

00:35:25.699 --> 00:35:27.659

00:35:31.139 --> 00:35:33.659
There'd<00:35:31.340><c> probably</c><00:35:31.559><c> be</c><00:35:31.739><c> more</c><00:35:31.980><c> than</c><00:35:32.099><c> ten</c><00:35:32.320><c> women</c><00:35:32.559><c> doing</c><00:35:32.820><c> that.</c>

00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:36.219
We<00:35:34.059><c> find</c><00:35:34.300><c> in</c><00:35:34.480><c> Daniel</c><00:35:34.800><c> chapter</c><00:35:35.079><c> 1</c><00:35:35.280><c> and</c><00:35:35.400><c> verse</c><00:35:35.659><c> 20</c>

isn't<00:36:19.760><c> the</c><00:36:20.000><c> bride</c><00:36:20.360><c> the</c><00:36:20.539><c> Ecclesia?</c>

00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:23.320
Yes,<00:36:21.780><c> that's</c><00:36:22.059><c> right.</c>

00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:27.679
Corporately<00:36:24.960><c> speaking,</c><00:36:26.119><c> the</c><00:36:26.260><c> whole</c><00:36:26.519><c> Ecclesia</c><00:36:26.900><c> is</c><00:36:27.159><c> the</c><00:36:27.400><c> bride.</c>

00:36:27.980 --> 00:36:31.039
But<00:36:28.059><c> you</c><00:36:28.179><c> see,</c><00:36:28.480><c> in</c><00:36:28.599><c> this</c><00:36:28.840><c> parable</c><00:36:29.260><c> the</c><00:36:29.460><c> Lord</c><00:36:29.639><c> wants</c><00:36:29.940><c> to</c><00:36:30.159><c> tell</c><00:36:30.280><c> us</c>

00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:34.340
that<00:36:31.340><c> there</c><00:36:31.480><c> are</c><00:36:31.579><c> two</c><00:36:31.840><c> classes</c><00:36:32.199><c> in</c><00:36:32.400><c> the</c><00:36:32.559><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:36:34.940 --> 00:36:38.960
Oh<00:36:35.119><c> yes,</c><00:36:35.579><c> there</c><00:36:35.800><c> are</c><00:36:36.179><c> occasions</c><00:36:36.539><c> when</c><00:36:36.699><c> he</c><00:36:36.780><c> talks</c><00:36:37.039><c> about</c><00:36:37.460><c> a</c><00:36:37.840><c> faithful</c><00:36:38.179><c> bride</c><00:36:38.619><c> and</c>

00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:40.099
an<00:36:39.219><c> unfaithful</c><00:36:39.780><c> bride.</c>

00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:42.619
But<00:36:40.519><c> because</c><00:36:40.760><c> he</c><00:36:40.860><c> wants</c><00:36:41.099><c> to</c><00:36:41.260><c> illustrate</c><00:36:41.639><c> this</c><00:36:41.880><c> in</c><00:36:41.960><c> one</c><00:36:42.280><c> parable,</c>

00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:45.340
we<00:36:43.460><c> haven't</c><00:36:43.659><c> got</c><00:36:43.840><c> the</c><00:36:44.039><c> Ecclesia</c><00:36:44.340><c> here</c><00:36:44.559><c> as</c><00:36:44.679><c> the</c><00:36:44.840><c> bride</c><00:36:45.079><c> now,</c>

00:36:45.340 --> 00:36:47.679
we've<00:36:45.760><c> got</c><00:36:45.880><c> them</c><00:36:46.099><c> as</c><00:36:46.480><c> the</c><00:36:46.760><c> virgins.</c>

00:36:48.019 --> 00:36:50.159
Because<00:36:48.260><c> he</c><00:36:48.380><c> wants</c><00:36:48.719><c> to</c><00:36:48.900><c> show</c><00:36:49.099><c> that</c><00:36:49.219><c> there</c><00:36:49.360><c> are</c><00:36:49.460><c> two</c><00:36:49.719><c> classes</c>

00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:51.340
among<00:36:50.500><c> those</c><00:36:50.820><c> virgins.</c>

00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:55.840
But<00:36:52.199><c> they</c><00:36:52.360><c> are</c><00:36:54.360><c> virgins.</c>

00:36:57.219 --> 00:36:59.340
The<00:36:57.420><c> careful</c><00:36:57.719><c> choice</c><00:36:58.139><c> of</c><00:36:58.380><c> the</c><00:36:58.559><c> term.</c>

00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:04.519
Why<00:37:00.719><c> careful?</c><00:37:01.619><c> Because</c><00:37:02.019><c> they</c><00:37:02.340><c> are</c><00:37:02.739><c> separate,</c><00:37:03.079><c> or</c><00:37:03.260><c> should</c><00:37:03.500><c> be,</c>

00:37:04.619 --> 00:37:05.860
separate<00:37:05.019><c> from</c><00:37:05.420><c> the</c><00:37:05.659><c> world.</c>

00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:07.400
That's<00:37:06.199><c> why</c><00:37:06.380><c> it's</c><00:37:06.519><c> chosen.</c>

00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:09.320
Now<00:37:07.739><c> I</c><00:37:07.739><c> want</c><00:37:07.900><c> to</c><00:37:08.039><c> show</c><00:37:08.119><c> you</c><00:37:08.500><c> a</c><00:37:08.559><c> reference</c><00:37:08.699><c> at</c><00:37:08.860><c> a</c><00:37:08.940><c> moment</c><00:37:09.119><c> and</c>

00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:10.780
show<00:37:09.480><c> you</c><00:37:09.559><c> how</c><00:37:09.619><c> this</c><00:37:09.840><c> works.</c>

00:37:10.900 --> 00:37:13.539
But<00:37:10.960><c> you</c><00:37:11.079><c> know,</c><00:37:11.219><c> there's</c><00:37:11.360><c> two</c><00:37:11.619><c> references</c><00:37:12.019><c> really</c><00:37:12.500><c> to</c><00:37:13.199><c> the</c><00:37:13.280><c> way</c><00:37:13.480><c> in</c>

00:37:13.539 --> 00:37:14.420
which<00:37:13.719><c> the</c><00:37:13.900><c> Ecclesia</c><00:37:14.159><c> is,</c>

00:37:14.420 --> 00:37:16.300
well<00:37:14.559><c> there's</c><00:37:14.699><c> many</c><00:37:14.960><c> more,</c><00:37:15.179><c> but</c><00:37:15.300><c> there's</c><00:37:15.460><c> two</c><00:37:15.719><c> major</c><00:37:15.980><c> ones</c><00:37:16.139><c> in</c>

00:37:16.300 --> 00:37:17.239
the<00:37:16.380><c> New</c><00:37:16.599><c> Testament,</c><00:37:16.880><c> isn't</c><00:37:17.079><c> there?</c>

00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:19.199
When<00:37:17.800><c> Paul</c><00:37:18.139><c> told</c><00:37:18.400><c> the</c><00:37:18.619><c> Corinthians,</c><00:37:18.960><c> he</c><00:37:19.079><c> said,</c>

00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:23.039
I<00:37:19.840><c> have</c><00:37:20.159><c> espoused</c><00:37:20.599><c> you</c><00:37:20.860><c> to</c><00:37:21.039><c> Christ</c><00:37:21.360><c> as</c><00:37:21.599><c> a</c><00:37:21.920><c> chaste</c><00:37:22.639><c> virgin.</c>

00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:27.539
A<00:37:23.679><c> virgin</c><00:37:24.059><c> is</c><00:37:24.820><c> separate</c><00:37:25.519><c> from</c><00:37:26.280><c> the</c><00:37:26.559><c> world.</c>

00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:31.980
Brethren<00:37:29.019><c> and</c><00:37:29.219><c> sisters,</c><00:37:29.800><c> ten</c><00:37:30.000><c> is</c><00:37:30.179><c> the</c><00:37:30.500><c> aggregate</c><00:37:30.780><c> number.</c>

00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:36.920
The<00:37:32.719><c> whole</c><00:37:33.219><c> Ecclesia</c><00:37:34.000><c> should</c><00:37:34.480><c> be</c><00:37:34.960><c> separate</c><00:37:35.519><c> from</c><00:37:36.300><c> the</c><00:37:36.639><c> world.</c>

00:37:37.059 --> 00:37:39.719
Not<00:37:37.280><c> half</c><00:37:37.619><c> of</c><00:37:37.800><c> us,</c><00:37:38.780><c> all</c><00:37:39.179><c> of</c><00:37:39.340><c> us.</c>

00:37:39.980 --> 00:37:43.539
We<00:37:40.199><c> should</c><00:37:40.380><c> be</c><00:37:40.900><c> separate</c><00:37:41.659><c> from</c><00:37:42.280><c> the</c><00:37:42.599><c> world.</c>

00:37:44.900 --> 00:37:46.440
Now<00:37:45.059><c> we've</c><00:37:45.219><c> said</c><00:37:45.380><c> this</c><00:37:45.619><c> so</c><00:37:45.860><c> many</c><00:37:46.099><c> times.</c>

00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:48.840
We've<00:37:47.260><c> heard</c><00:37:47.440><c> this</c><00:37:47.679><c> from</c><00:37:48.059><c> scores</c><00:37:48.480><c> of</c><00:37:48.739><c> brethren.</c>

00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:51.719
But<00:37:49.119><c> listen,</c><00:37:49.340><c> we</c><00:37:49.480><c> should</c><00:37:49.619><c> be</c><00:37:49.980><c> separate</c><00:37:50.480><c> from</c><00:37:51.059><c> the</c><00:37:51.360><c> world.</c>

00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:55.019
If<00:37:52.260><c> we're</c><00:37:52.519><c> not,</c><00:37:53.340><c> then</c><00:37:53.460><c> we're</c><00:37:53.599><c> not</c><00:37:53.780><c> in</c><00:37:53.900><c> that</c><00:37:54.179><c> category.</c>

00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:56.780
We<00:37:55.480><c> are</c><00:37:55.639><c> not</c><00:37:55.820><c> a</c><00:37:55.960><c> virgin.</c>

00:37:57.159 --> 00:37:59.320
We've<00:37:57.480><c> adulterated</c><00:37:58.000><c> the</c><00:37:58.219><c> truth</c><00:37:58.360><c> somehow.</c>

00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:00.840
But<00:37:59.500><c> they're</c><00:37:59.820><c> virgins.</c><00:38:00.219><c> I</c><00:38:00.280><c> want</c><00:38:00.340><c> you</c><00:38:00.460><c> to</c><00:38:00.579><c> know</c><00:38:00.659><c> that.</c>

00:38:00.980 --> 00:38:02.119
They're<00:38:01.079><c> all</c><00:38:01.300><c> virgins.</c>

00:38:02.139 --> 00:38:04.480
Revelation<00:38:02.579><c> 14</c><00:38:03.019><c> is</c><00:38:03.239><c> the</c><00:38:03.360><c> other</c><00:38:03.579><c> reference.</c>

00:38:05.219 --> 00:38:06.960
Why<00:38:05.340><c> don't</c><00:38:05.420><c> you</c><00:38:05.480><c> have</c><00:38:05.559><c> a</c><00:38:05.679><c> look</c><00:38:05.739><c> at</c><00:38:05.760><c> this</c><00:38:05.940><c> with</c><00:38:06.119><c> me?</c>

00:38:07.659 --> 00:38:09.500
Because<00:38:07.880><c> this</c><00:38:08.139><c> is</c><00:38:08.440><c> fascinating.</c>

00:38:10.260 --> 00:38:11.960
You<00:38:10.400><c> look</c><00:38:10.500><c> at</c><00:38:10.519><c> how</c><00:38:10.659><c> this</c><00:38:10.860><c> is</c><00:38:11.099><c> used.</c>

00:38:12.219 --> 00:38:16.619
So<00:38:12.820><c> John</c><00:38:13.179><c> sees</c><00:38:13.460><c> in</c><00:38:13.579><c> Revelation</c><00:38:14.079><c> 14</c><00:38:14.539><c> and</c><00:38:14.679><c> the</c><00:38:14.800><c> first</c><00:38:15.059><c> one,</c>

00:38:17.019 --> 00:38:19.780
he<00:38:17.039><c> says,</c><00:38:17.340><c> I</c><00:38:17.340><c> looked</c><00:38:17.659><c> and</c><00:38:17.900><c> lo,</c><00:38:18.260><c> a</c><00:38:18.360><c> lamb</c><00:38:18.599><c> stood</c><00:38:18.960><c> on</c><00:38:19.179><c> Mount</c><00:38:19.460><c> Zion</c>

00:38:25.380 --> 00:38:29.380
They're<00:38:25.840><c> mentally</c><00:38:26.300><c> impressed</c><00:38:27.039><c> with</c><00:38:28.179><c> the</c><00:38:28.480><c> character</c><00:38:28.739><c> of</c><00:38:28.940><c> the</c><00:38:29.119><c> father</c>

Verse<00:38:33.559><c> 4.</c>

00:38:35.500 --> 00:38:38.539
These<00:38:35.820><c> are</c><00:38:36.199><c> they</c><00:38:36.519><c> which</c><00:38:36.780><c> are</c><00:38:37.019><c> not</c><00:38:37.260><c> defiled</c><00:38:37.820><c> with</c><00:38:38.059><c> women.</c>

about<00:41:10.539><c> the</c><00:41:10.719><c> fact</c><00:41:10.880><c> that</c><00:41:11.059><c> the</c><00:41:11.179><c> Lord's</c><00:41:11.559><c> disciples</c><00:41:11.880><c> were</c><00:41:12.139><c> baptising.</c>

00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:14.659
This<00:41:13.460><c> is</c><00:41:13.719><c> the</c><00:41:13.920><c> answer</c><00:41:14.099><c> he</c><00:41:14.320><c> got.</c>

00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:17.900
Chapter<00:41:15.380><c> 3</c><00:41:15.679><c> and</c><00:41:15.800><c> verse</c><00:41:16.019><c> 29,</c><00:41:16.579><c> John</c><00:41:16.840><c> says,</c>

00:41:18.139 --> 00:41:21.760
He<00:41:18.159><c> that</c><00:41:18.480><c> hath</c><00:41:18.760><c> the</c><00:41:19.139><c> bride</c><00:41:19.579><c> is</c><00:41:20.719><c> the</c><00:41:21.079><c> bridegroom.</c>

00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:24.900
So<00:41:22.500><c> Jesus</c><00:41:22.920><c> had</c><00:41:23.159><c> just</c><00:41:23.440><c> taken</c><00:41:23.760><c> six</c><00:41:24.079><c> of</c><00:41:24.219><c> his</c><00:41:24.420><c> disciples</c>

00:41:24.900 --> 00:41:28.199
to<00:41:25.480><c> a</c><00:41:25.639><c> wedding</c><00:41:25.840><c> on</c><00:41:26.059><c> the</c><00:41:26.260><c> seventh</c><00:41:26.480><c> day</c><00:41:26.980><c> in</c><00:41:27.300><c> Cana</c><00:41:27.559><c> of</c><00:41:27.739><c> Galilee.</c>

00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:30.920
Adam<00:41:28.599><c> and</c><00:41:28.760><c> Eve</c><00:41:28.820><c> were</c><00:41:29.079><c> married</c><00:41:29.260><c> on</c><00:41:29.420><c> the</c><00:41:29.719><c> sixth</c><00:41:30.039><c> day.</c>

00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:33.659
We<00:41:32.039><c> know</c><00:41:32.280><c> that</c><00:41:32.480><c> because</c><00:41:32.980><c> Jesus</c><00:41:33.440><c> said,</c>

00:41:33.820 --> 00:41:36.420
He<00:41:33.820><c> that</c><00:41:34.219><c> made</c><00:41:34.579><c> them,</c><00:41:35.019><c> made</c><00:41:35.159><c> them</c><00:41:35.599><c> male</c><00:41:35.840><c> and</c><00:41:36.079><c> female.</c>

00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:38.940
And<00:41:36.800><c> the</c><00:41:37.000><c> creator</c><00:41:37.320><c> of</c><00:41:37.420><c> the</c><00:41:37.639><c> act</c><00:41:37.800><c> constituted</c><00:41:38.400><c> a</c><00:41:38.659><c> marriage.</c>

00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:41.719
Six<00:41:39.719><c> days,</c><00:41:40.280><c> this</c><00:41:40.519><c> is</c><00:41:40.719><c> the</c><00:41:40.920><c> seventh.</c>

00:41:42.300 --> 00:41:44.780
And<00:41:42.739><c> here</c><00:41:42.960><c> are</c><00:41:43.199><c> a</c><00:41:43.340><c> group</c><00:41:43.480><c> of</c><00:41:43.760><c> disciples,</c>

00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:49.440
Behold<00:41:45.500><c> the</c><00:41:45.780><c> Lamb</c><00:41:46.179><c> of</c><00:41:46.500><c> God,</c><00:41:47.239><c> and</c><00:41:47.579><c> they</c><00:41:48.300><c> followed</c><00:41:48.860><c> Jesus.</c>

00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:53.480
These<00:41:50.219><c> are</c><00:41:50.639><c> they</c><00:41:51.000><c> that</c><00:41:51.460><c> follow</c><00:41:52.079><c> the</c><00:41:52.619><c> Lamb.</c>

00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:55.480
And<00:41:53.920><c> they</c><00:41:54.039><c> went</c><00:41:54.159><c> to</c><00:41:54.320><c> a</c><00:41:54.500><c> wedding.</c>

00:41:56.679 --> 00:41:58.320
And<00:41:56.780><c> in</c><00:41:56.980><c> Revelation</c><00:41:57.360><c> 19</c><00:41:57.880><c> it</c><00:41:58.039><c> says,</c>

00:41:58.739 --> 00:42:01.300
This<00:41:58.900><c> is</c><00:41:59.179><c> the</c><00:41:59.420><c> bride,</c><00:41:59.860><c> the</c><00:42:00.000><c> Lamb's</c><00:42:00.360><c> wife.</c>

00:42:01.860 --> 00:42:04.199
And<00:42:02.059><c> in</c><00:42:02.280><c> Revelation</c><00:42:02.639><c> 21</c><00:42:03.199><c> it</c><00:42:03.400><c> says,</c>

00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:07.179
These<00:42:04.539><c> are</c><00:42:05.039><c> the</c><00:42:05.360><c> apostles</c><00:42:05.980><c> of</c><00:42:06.760><c> the</c><00:42:06.940><c> Lamb.</c>

00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:09.739
So<00:42:07.659><c> you</c><00:42:07.780><c> have</c><00:42:07.940><c> in</c><00:42:08.119><c> John,</c><00:42:08.559><c> chapters</c><00:42:08.719><c> 1,</c><00:42:09.079><c> 2</c><00:42:09.280><c> and</c><00:42:09.320><c> 3,</c>

00:42:10.059 --> 00:42:13.099
the<00:42:10.159><c> foundation</c><00:42:10.800><c> of</c><00:42:11.119><c> the</c><00:42:11.280><c> bride</c><00:42:11.500><c> community</c><00:42:11.880><c> of</c><00:42:12.119><c> Christ.</c>

00:42:13.860 --> 00:42:16.320
And<00:42:14.119><c> those</c><00:42:14.420><c> disciples</c><00:42:14.880><c> left</c><00:42:15.159><c> everything,</c><00:42:15.699><c> brethren</c><00:42:15.800><c> and</c><00:42:16.059><c> sisters,</c>

00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:17.500
and<00:42:16.860><c> followed</c><00:42:17.079><c> our</c><00:42:17.320><c> Lord,</c>

00:42:17.500 --> 00:42:19.460
and<00:42:17.639><c> whatever</c><00:42:17.980><c> other</c><00:42:18.300><c> faults</c><00:42:18.500><c> they</c><00:42:18.739><c> may</c><00:42:18.940><c> have</c><00:42:19.159><c> had,</c>

00:42:19.699 --> 00:42:22.000
they<00:42:19.920><c> were</c><00:42:20.400><c> separate</c><00:42:20.780><c> from</c><00:42:21.000><c> the</c><00:42:21.199><c> world.</c>

00:42:23.780 --> 00:42:25.719
They<00:42:23.940><c> might</c><00:42:24.139><c> have</c><00:42:24.239><c> made</c><00:42:24.320><c> a</c><00:42:24.340><c> lot</c><00:42:24.480><c> of</c><00:42:24.659><c> mistakes.</c>

00:42:26.900 --> 00:42:27.920
But<00:42:27.000><c> Jesus</c><00:42:27.320><c> said</c><00:42:27.599><c> to</c><00:42:27.659><c> them,</c>

00:42:27.980 --> 00:42:31.280
Ye<00:42:28.139><c> are</c><00:42:28.360><c> they</c><00:42:28.619><c> who</c><00:42:28.800><c> have</c><00:42:29.119><c> followed</c><00:42:29.340><c> me</c><00:42:29.599><c> in</c><00:42:29.719><c> my</c><00:42:29.940><c> temptations.</c>

00:42:32.460 --> 00:42:33.519
And<00:42:32.619><c> He</c><00:42:32.699><c> took</c><00:42:32.860><c> them</c><00:42:32.960><c> out</c><00:42:33.099><c> of</c><00:42:33.139><c> the</c><00:42:33.360><c> world,</c>

00:42:33.599 --> 00:42:34.820
and<00:42:33.679><c> He</c><00:42:33.739><c> kept</c><00:42:33.900><c> them</c><00:42:34.099><c> separate</c><00:42:34.360><c> from</c><00:42:34.539><c> the</c><00:42:34.699><c> world,</c>

00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:36.900
and<00:42:34.940><c> they</c><00:42:35.280><c> followed</c><00:42:35.760><c> that</c><00:42:36.139><c> Lamb.</c>

00:42:36.940 --> 00:42:39.380
And<00:42:37.099><c> I</c><00:42:37.239><c> tell</c><00:42:37.340><c> you</c><00:42:37.440><c> what,</c><00:42:37.559><c> if</c><00:42:37.739><c> you</c><00:42:38.059><c> or</c><00:42:38.340><c> I</c><00:42:38.599><c> follow</c><00:42:38.860><c> the</c><00:42:39.119><c> Lamb,</c>

00:42:39.659 --> 00:42:42.420
He<00:42:39.880><c> will</c><00:42:40.219><c> not</c><00:42:40.519><c> take</c><00:42:40.760><c> us</c><00:42:41.000><c> to</c><00:42:41.139><c> the</c><00:42:41.300><c> pitches,</c>

00:42:43.739 --> 00:42:45.199
or<00:42:43.800><c> to</c><00:42:43.960><c> the</c><00:42:44.159><c> theatre</c><00:42:44.380><c> of</c><00:42:44.619><c> any</c><00:42:44.900><c> sort,</c>

00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:48.260
or<00:42:45.579><c> to</c><00:42:45.699><c> any</c><00:42:45.900><c> drama,</c><00:42:47.019><c> or</c><00:42:47.139><c> to</c><00:42:47.219><c> the</c><00:42:47.440><c> football,</c>

00:42:48.340 --> 00:42:52.380
or<00:42:48.460><c> to</c><00:42:48.719><c> the</c><00:42:48.820><c> cricket,</c><00:42:49.539><c> or</c><00:42:49.820><c> anything</c><00:42:50.699><c> like</c><00:42:51.340><c> it.</c>

00:42:52.780 --> 00:42:55.699
We<00:42:53.019><c> will</c><00:42:53.320><c> follow</c><00:42:53.619><c> Him</c><00:42:54.139><c> to</c><00:42:54.659><c> a</c><00:42:54.840><c> wedding.</c>

00:42:56.780 --> 00:42:58.719
Now<00:42:56.960><c> that's</c><00:42:57.099><c> why</c><00:42:57.280><c> they're</c><00:42:57.460><c> called</c><00:42:57.679><c> virgins.</c>

00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:00.739
So<00:42:59.320><c> that's</c><00:42:59.539><c> where</c><00:42:59.659><c> they're</c><00:42:59.960><c> going.</c>

00:43:00.900 --> 00:43:03.739
Now<00:43:01.059><c> coming</c><00:43:01.260><c> back</c><00:43:01.539><c> to</c><00:43:01.659><c> Matthew</c><00:43:01.960><c> 25,</c>

00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:07.239
it<00:43:04.440><c> says</c><00:43:04.900><c> they</c><00:43:05.940><c> took</c><00:43:06.139><c> their</c><00:43:06.380><c> lamps.</c>

00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:10.900
Now<00:43:08.380><c> it's</c><00:43:08.519><c> interesting</c><00:43:08.900><c> that</c><00:43:09.260><c> in</c><00:43:09.639><c> the</c><00:43:09.900><c> Diagelot</c><00:43:10.219><c> translation</c>

00:43:10.900 --> 00:43:11.760
of<00:43:11.099><c> the</c><00:43:11.159><c> New</c><00:43:11.360><c> Testament,</c>

00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:14.380
there's<00:43:11.980><c> a</c><00:43:12.139><c> footnote</c><00:43:12.559><c> at</c><00:43:12.840><c> the</c><00:43:12.960><c> bottom</c><00:43:13.380><c> of</c><00:43:13.780><c> the</c><00:43:13.960><c> Diagelot</c>

00:43:14.380 --> 00:43:16.980
concerning<00:43:14.840><c> the</c><00:43:15.139><c> construction</c><00:43:15.639><c> of</c><00:43:15.840><c> the</c><00:43:16.000><c> Greek</c><00:43:16.179><c> there.</c>

00:43:17.099 --> 00:43:18.780
It<00:43:17.239><c> may</c><00:43:17.440><c> not</c><00:43:17.719><c> seem</c><00:43:17.880><c> a</c><00:43:18.019><c> big</c><00:43:18.219><c> thing</c><00:43:18.400><c> to</c><00:43:18.579><c> you,</c>

00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:22.599
but<00:43:19.280><c> it</c><00:43:19.699><c> says</c><00:43:19.820><c> at</c><00:43:20.000><c> the</c><00:43:20.099><c> bottom</c><00:43:20.300><c> there</c><00:43:20.519><c> that</c><00:43:21.099><c> the</c><00:43:21.920><c> emphasis</c><00:43:22.320><c> is</c>

00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:24.159
upon<00:43:22.780><c> their</c><00:43:23.119><c> own</c><00:43:23.400><c> lamps.</c>

00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:25.820
And<00:43:24.579><c> that's</c><00:43:24.699><c> going</c><00:43:24.840><c> to</c><00:43:24.900><c> be</c><00:43:25.000><c> the</c><00:43:25.179><c> point</c><00:43:25.320><c> later</c><00:43:25.579><c> on.</c>

00:43:26.059 --> 00:43:29.000
So<00:43:26.219><c> it</c><00:43:26.619><c> doesn't</c><00:43:26.960><c> simply</c><00:43:27.280><c> say</c><00:43:27.659><c> they</c><00:43:28.000><c> took</c><00:43:28.300><c> their</c><00:43:28.639><c> lamps,</c>

00:43:29.420 --> 00:43:31.119

00:44:20.420 --> 00:44:22.659
And<00:44:20.480><c> there'd</c><00:44:20.619><c> be</c><00:44:20.739><c> these</c><00:44:21.019><c> twinkling</c><00:44:21.340><c> lights</c><00:44:21.760><c> held</c><00:44:22.079><c> aloft</c><00:44:22.400><c> over</c>

00:44:30.739 --> 00:44:31.820
That<00:44:30.940><c> was</c><00:44:31.199><c> the</c><00:44:31.420><c> custom.</c>

00:44:32.139 --> 00:44:34.280
You<00:44:32.320><c> might</c><00:44:32.539><c> read</c><00:44:32.739><c> about</c><00:44:32.920><c> that</c><00:44:33.159><c> in</c><00:44:33.360><c> Psalm</c><00:44:33.559><c> 45.</c>

00:44:34.739 --> 00:44:36.719
There's<00:44:35.000><c> a</c><00:44:35.139><c> reference</c><00:44:35.400><c> there</c><00:44:35.619><c> to</c><00:44:35.840><c> it.</c>

00:44:37.539 --> 00:44:40.739
So<00:44:38.019><c> these</c><00:44:38.500><c> bridesmaids</c><00:44:39.159><c> or</c><00:44:39.340><c> these</c><00:44:39.920><c> virgins,</c><00:44:40.340><c> it</c><00:44:40.519><c> says,</c>

00:44:40.739 --> 00:44:42.519
went<00:44:41.239><c> forth</c><00:44:41.579><c> to</c><00:44:41.719><c> meet</c><00:44:41.940><c> the</c><00:44:42.179><c> bridegroom.</c>

00:44:42.739 --> 00:44:44.880
Now<00:44:42.940><c> it</c><00:44:43.079><c> doesn't</c><00:44:43.360><c> mean,</c><00:44:43.579><c> I</c><00:44:43.739><c> don't</c><00:44:43.980><c> believe</c><00:44:44.139><c> it</c><00:44:44.300><c> meant</c><00:44:44.360><c> they</c><00:44:44.500><c> went</c><00:44:44.639><c> out</c><00:44:44.760><c> on</c>

00:44:44.880 --> 00:44:45.579
the<00:44:45.019><c> road</c><00:44:45.179><c> to</c><00:44:45.360><c> meet</c><00:44:45.519><c> him</c>

00:44:45.579 --> 00:44:47.599
because<00:44:45.719><c> if</c><00:44:45.860><c> they</c><00:44:46.079><c> did,</c><00:44:46.519><c> well,</c><00:44:46.519><c> it's</c><00:44:46.760><c> highly</c><00:44:47.099><c> unlikely</c><00:44:47.460><c> they</c>

00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:48.900
would<00:44:47.800><c> have</c><00:44:47.880><c> fell</c><00:44:48.059><c> asleep</c><00:44:48.340><c> on</c><00:44:48.559><c> the</c><00:44:48.719><c> road,</c>

00:44:48.940 --> 00:44:49.900
wouldn't<00:44:49.099><c> it?</c>

00:44:50.460 --> 00:44:51.539
That<00:44:50.719><c> probably</c><00:44:51.079><c> wouldn't</c><00:44:51.300><c> have</c><00:44:51.460><c> happened.</c>

00:44:51.659 --> 00:44:54.739
I<00:44:51.880><c> believe</c><00:44:52.059><c> what's</c><00:44:52.760><c> probably</c><00:44:53.000><c> meant</c><00:44:53.340><c> here</c><00:44:53.800><c> is</c><00:44:54.280><c> that</c><00:44:54.440><c> they</c><00:44:54.579><c> all</c>

00:44:54.739 --> 00:44:55.440
got<00:44:54.980><c> together</c>

00:44:55.880 --> 00:44:57.480
expecting<00:44:56.280><c> the</c><00:44:56.559><c> bridegroom</c><00:44:56.980><c> to</c><00:44:57.199><c> arrive.</c>

00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:00.360
They<00:44:57.800><c> would</c><00:44:57.960><c> have</c><00:44:58.099><c> all</c><00:44:58.280><c> gone</c><00:44:58.480><c> to</c><00:44:58.619><c> the</c><00:44:58.760><c> one</c><00:44:59.019><c> place</c><00:44:59.300><c> somewhere.</c>

00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:04.360
And<00:45:01.519><c> there</c><00:45:01.860><c> they</c><00:45:02.340><c> would</c><00:45:02.480><c> have</c><00:45:02.639><c> waited</c><00:45:02.780><c> for</c><00:45:02.960><c> him</c><00:45:03.199><c> to</c><00:45:03.440><c> come</c><00:45:03.760><c> and</c>

00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:06.260

00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:10.500
Now<00:45:06.960><c> five</c><00:45:07.300><c> were</c><00:45:07.539><c> wise</c><00:45:07.960><c> and</c><00:45:09.079><c> five</c><00:45:09.380><c> were</c><00:45:09.619><c> foolish.</c>

00:45:11.559 --> 00:45:16.239
The<00:45:11.679><c> word</c><00:45:11.860><c> for</c><00:45:12.099><c> wise</c><00:45:12.320><c> means</c><00:45:12.920><c> thoughtful,</c><00:45:15.000><c> discreet,</c>

00:45:23.320 --> 00:45:26.980
Not<00:45:23.780><c> just</c><00:45:24.139><c> wise</c><00:45:24.380><c> in</c><00:45:24.639><c> the</c><00:45:24.719><c> sense</c><00:45:24.980><c> that</c><00:45:25.280><c> they</c><00:45:26.360><c> had</c><00:45:26.599><c> brains,</c>

00:45:30.420 --> 00:45:32.840

00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:57.460
The<00:45:54.119><c> foolish,</c><00:45:55.739><c> well,</c><00:45:56.400><c> this</c><00:45:56.519><c> will</c><00:45:56.619><c> tell</c><00:45:56.719><c> you</c><00:45:56.800><c> what</c><00:45:56.880><c> they</c><00:45:57.079><c> were</c><00:45:57.260><c> like.</c>

00:45:57.460 --> 00:46:04.139
The<00:45:58.059><c> Greek</c><00:45:58.380><c> word</c><00:45:58.659><c> there</c><00:45:59.099><c> is</c><00:46:01.260><c> moros,</c><00:46:03.320><c> from</c><00:46:03.440><c> which</c><00:46:03.599><c> we</c><00:46:03.800><c> get</c><00:46:04.000><c> the</c>

00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:10.800
And<00:46:06.420><c> it</c><00:46:06.519><c> means</c><00:46:06.699><c> exactly</c><00:46:07.079><c> what</c><00:46:07.239><c> that</c><00:46:07.480><c> word</c><00:46:07.639><c> means,</c><00:46:08.639><c> dull</c><00:46:09.079><c> and</c><00:46:09.820><c> stupid.</c>

00:46:11.699 --> 00:46:13.639
It's<00:46:12.039><c> the</c><00:46:12.280><c> antithesis</c><00:46:12.820><c> to</c><00:46:13.019><c> the</c><00:46:13.139><c> other</c><00:46:13.360><c> five.</c>

00:46:14.099 --> 00:46:16.699
Moros<00:46:14.619><c> is</c><00:46:14.820><c> the</c><00:46:14.980><c> Greek</c><00:46:15.159><c> word</c><00:46:15.480><c> from</c><00:46:15.719><c> which</c><00:46:15.880><c> we</c><00:46:15.980><c> get</c><00:46:16.119><c> moron.</c>

00:46:16.860 --> 00:46:19.400
They<00:46:16.980><c> were</c><00:46:17.300><c> dull</c><00:46:17.840><c> and</c><00:46:18.539><c> stupid.</c>

00:46:20.300 --> 00:46:25.119
Now<00:46:20.460><c> verse</c><00:46:20.679><c> three</c><00:46:20.980><c> says,</c><00:46:22.119><c> the</c><00:46:22.199><c> foolish</c><00:46:22.739><c> took</c><00:46:23.440><c> no</c><00:46:24.320><c> oil</c><00:46:24.739><c> in</c>

00:46:25.619 --> 00:46:28.659
Now<00:46:26.219><c> what</c><00:46:26.519><c> is</c><00:46:26.820><c> the</c><00:46:27.039><c> oil,</c><00:46:28.059><c> brethren</c><00:46:28.179><c> and</c><00:46:28.400><c> sisters?</c>

00:46:29.099 --> 00:46:31.360
Well,<00:46:29.380><c> we</c><00:46:29.460><c> didn't</c><00:46:29.719><c> ought</c><00:46:29.840><c> to</c><00:46:29.900><c> have</c><00:46:30.019><c> any</c><00:46:30.179><c> trouble</c><00:46:30.420><c> about</c><00:46:30.659><c> that.</c>

00:46:31.699 --> 00:46:35.559
Thy<00:46:32.019><c> word</c><00:46:32.420><c> is</c><00:46:32.659><c> a</c><00:46:32.780><c> lamp</c><00:46:32.960><c> unto</c><00:46:33.179><c> my</c><00:46:33.519><c> feet</c><00:46:33.699><c> and</c><00:46:33.900><c> a</c><00:46:34.019><c> light</c><00:46:34.159><c> unto</c><00:46:34.420><c> my</c><00:46:34.699><c> path.</c>

00:46:36.579 --> 00:46:38.440
Do<00:46:36.659><c> you</c><00:46:36.860><c> see</c><00:46:37.059><c> what</c><00:46:37.219><c> it</c><00:46:37.320><c> is?</c>

00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:43.440
Psalm<00:46:40.079><c> 119,</c><00:46:40.659><c> verse</c><00:46:41.079><c> 105</c><00:46:41.639><c> says,</c><00:46:41.880><c> Thy</c><00:46:42.139><c> word</c><00:46:42.320><c> is</c><00:46:42.539><c> a</c><00:46:42.619><c> lamp</c><00:46:42.820><c> unto</c><00:46:43.099><c> my</c>

00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:48.099

00:46:48.860 --> 00:46:50.960
Now<00:46:49.139><c> that's</c><00:46:49.360><c> not</c><00:46:49.599><c> a</c><00:46:49.739><c> Hebrew,</c><00:46:50.179><c> is</c><00:46:50.179><c> it?</c>

00:46:51.260 --> 00:46:53.539
Because<00:46:51.519><c> if</c><00:46:51.679><c> you</c><00:46:51.739><c> look</c><00:46:51.900><c> at</c><00:46:51.980><c> those</c><00:46:52.239><c> two</c><00:46:52.440><c> Hebrew</c><00:46:52.739><c> words</c><00:46:53.039><c> used</c><00:46:53.320><c> in</c>

00:46:53.539 --> 00:46:54.480
Psalm<00:46:53.719><c> 119,</c>

00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:57.360
it's<00:46:54.679><c> not</c><00:46:55.099><c> saying</c><00:46:55.539><c> the</c><00:46:55.760><c> same</c><00:46:55.980><c> thing</c><00:46:56.280><c> twice.</c>

00:46:57.539 --> 00:47:01.059
What<00:46:57.699><c> it's</c><00:46:57.900><c> saying</c><00:46:58.119><c> is</c><00:46:58.380><c> this,</c><00:46:59.380><c> that</c><00:46:59.519><c> we</c><00:46:59.820><c> should</c><00:47:00.039><c> have</c><00:47:00.280><c> the</c><00:47:00.659><c> knowledge</c><00:47:00.880><c> of</c>

00:47:01.059 --> 00:47:02.159
the<00:47:01.199><c> word,</c><00:47:01.579><c> brothers</c><00:47:01.659><c> and</c><00:47:01.940><c> sisters,</c>

00:47:02.199 --> 00:47:06.880
so<00:47:02.440><c> that</c><00:47:02.659><c> first</c><00:47:02.980><c> and</c><00:47:03.199><c> foremost</c><00:47:03.619><c> we</c><00:47:04.079><c> should</c><00:47:04.340><c> see</c><00:47:04.579><c> what's</c><00:47:05.039><c> immediately</c><00:47:05.579><c> in</c><00:47:05.820><c> front</c><00:47:05.940><c> of</c><00:47:06.059><c> us.</c>

00:47:08.039 --> 00:47:09.659
So<00:47:08.219><c> it's</c><00:47:08.400><c> a</c><00:47:08.519><c> lamp</c><00:47:08.659><c> unto</c><00:47:08.980><c> our</c><00:47:09.440><c> feet.</c>

00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:14.380
We<00:47:09.820><c> look</c><00:47:09.980><c> down</c><00:47:10.260><c> here</c><00:47:10.440><c> and</c><00:47:10.639><c> we're</c><00:47:11.260><c> going</c><00:47:11.340><c> to</c><00:47:11.579><c> step</c><00:47:11.800><c> surely</c><00:47:12.280><c> because</c><00:47:12.659><c> there's</c><00:47:12.840><c> a</c><00:47:13.000><c> little</c><00:47:13.280><c> radiation</c><00:47:13.840><c> of</c><00:47:14.059><c> light</c>

00:47:14.380 --> 00:47:16.840
that<00:47:14.739><c> tells</c><00:47:14.940><c> us</c><00:47:15.119><c> all</c><00:47:15.340><c> the</c><00:47:15.559><c> obstructions</c><00:47:16.219><c> that</c><00:47:16.420><c> are</c><00:47:16.579><c> there.</c>

00:47:17.019 --> 00:47:20.219
We<00:47:17.199><c> know</c><00:47:17.340><c> where</c><00:47:17.480><c> to</c><00:47:17.699><c> walk,</c><00:47:18.300><c> but</c><00:47:19.000><c> it's</c><00:47:19.280><c> a</c><00:47:19.400><c> light</c><00:47:19.539><c> to</c><00:47:19.719><c> that</c><00:47:19.940><c> path</c>

00:47:20.219 --> 00:47:21.579
down<00:47:20.500><c> there</c><00:47:20.780><c> too.</c>

00:47:21.739 --> 00:47:25.039
So<00:47:22.139><c> it</c><00:47:22.260><c> doesn't</c><00:47:22.519><c> only</c><00:47:22.800><c> radiate</c><00:47:23.360><c> around</c><00:47:23.639><c> our</c><00:47:23.940><c> feet,</c><00:47:24.679><c> but</c><00:47:24.739><c> it's</c>

00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:27.860
sufficient<00:47:25.340><c> of</c><00:47:25.500><c> that</c><00:47:25.679><c> light,</c><00:47:26.400><c> shines</c><00:47:26.760><c> ahead.</c>

00:47:29.059 --> 00:47:30.840
So<00:47:29.260><c> we</c><00:47:29.400><c> not</c><00:47:29.519><c> only</c><00:47:29.679><c> know</c><00:47:29.900><c> where</c><00:47:30.119><c> we're</c><00:47:30.320><c> walking,</c><00:47:30.639><c> we</c><00:47:30.699><c> know</c>

00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:32.219
where<00:47:31.059><c> we're</c><00:47:31.340><c> going.</c>

00:47:33.539 --> 00:47:35.079
That's<00:47:33.760><c> what</c><00:47:33.860><c> it</c><00:47:34.099><c> does.</c>

00:47:36.019 --> 00:47:37.760
That's<00:47:36.420><c> the</c><00:47:36.500><c> idea</c><00:47:36.719><c> of</c><00:47:36.880><c> the</c><00:47:37.019><c> light.</c>

00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:41.280
You<00:47:38.139><c> know,</c><00:47:38.519><c> it's</c><00:47:38.880><c> a</c><00:47:39.000><c> fascinating</c><00:47:39.400><c> thing</c><00:47:39.659><c> to</c><00:47:39.840><c> run</c><00:47:39.940><c> that</c><00:47:40.099><c> through</c><00:47:40.280><c> the</c><00:47:40.500><c> Scripture.</c>

00:47:41.619 --> 00:47:43.360
Matter<00:47:41.860><c> of</c><00:47:41.940><c> fact,</c><00:47:42.019><c> I</c><00:47:42.139><c> did</c><00:47:42.239><c> a</c><00:47:42.380><c> talk</c><00:47:42.519><c> on</c><00:47:42.599><c> that</c><00:47:42.760><c> once</c><00:47:42.900><c> in</c><00:47:43.099><c> America.</c>

00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:45.559
I<00:47:43.559><c> never</c><00:47:43.639><c> forgot</c><00:47:43.940><c> doing</c><00:47:44.300><c> that</c><00:47:44.500><c> because</c><00:47:44.719><c> I</c><00:47:44.880><c> was</c><00:47:44.980><c> asked</c><00:47:45.179><c> to</c><00:47:45.360><c> do</c><00:47:45.460><c> that</c>

00:47:47.420 --> 00:47:49.840
But<00:47:47.739><c> it's</c><00:47:48.059><c> a</c><00:47:48.219><c> fascinating</c><00:47:48.659><c> idea</c><00:47:49.019><c> to</c><00:47:49.199><c> run</c><00:47:49.320><c> that</c><00:47:49.599><c> through</c><00:47:49.739><c> and</c>

00:48:33.840 --> 00:48:34.860

00:48:36.579 --> 00:48:39.139

00:49:54.619 --> 00:49:57.679
You'd<00:49:54.739><c> have</c><00:49:54.739><c> to</c><00:49:54.840><c> be</c><00:49:54.960><c> thankful</c><00:49:55.360><c> and</c><00:49:55.940><c> make</c><00:49:56.159><c> sure</c><00:49:56.460><c> you</c><00:49:56.599><c> get</c><00:49:56.719><c> to</c><00:49:56.840><c> the</c><00:49:56.940><c> next</c><00:49:57.139><c> place</c><00:49:57.320><c> you</c><00:49:57.420><c> want</c><00:49:57.579><c> to</c>

get<00:49:57.860><c> to.</c>

00:49:59.099 --> 00:50:02.119
But<00:49:59.260><c> often</c><00:49:59.480><c> the</c><00:49:59.900><c> foolish,</c><00:50:00.780><c> the</c><00:50:01.360><c> lamps</c><00:50:01.639><c> were</c><00:50:01.820><c> burning.</c>

00:50:02.199 --> 00:50:03.840

00:50:04.019 --> 00:50:06.420
So<00:50:04.039><c> it</c><00:50:04.119><c> wasn't</c><00:50:04.360><c> that</c><00:50:04.500><c> they</c><00:50:04.599><c> didn't</c><00:50:04.860><c> know</c><00:50:05.199><c> the</c><00:50:05.420><c> truth,</c><00:50:05.760><c> brothers</c><00:50:05.840><c> and</c><00:50:06.119><c> sisters.</c>

00:50:11.059 --> 00:50:14.440

00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:31.760

00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:34.780
It's<00:51:32.579><c> not</c><00:51:32.739><c> that</c><00:51:32.840><c> you</c><00:51:33.000><c> don't</c><00:51:33.320><c> know.</c>

00:51:36.059 --> 00:51:38.900
It's<00:51:36.179><c> not</c><00:51:36.400><c> that</c><00:51:36.539><c> the</c><00:51:36.719><c> people</c><00:51:36.940><c> are</c><00:51:37.420><c> totally</c><00:51:37.860><c> ignorant.</c>

00:51:44.099 --> 00:51:45.119

00:51:45.199 --> 00:51:46.760
They<00:51:45.579><c> studied</c><00:51:45.880><c> the</c><00:51:46.139><c> first</c><00:51:46.380><c> principles.</c>

00:51:47.099 --> 00:51:48.639
They<00:51:47.239><c> were</c><00:51:47.519><c> baptised</c><00:51:48.039><c> into</c><00:51:48.239><c> Christ.</c>

00:51:48.980 --> 00:51:50.940
And<00:51:49.320><c> that's</c><00:51:49.780><c> where</c><00:51:50.079><c> they</c><00:51:50.400><c> left</c><00:51:50.719><c> it.</c>

00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:53.260
And<00:51:51.159><c> they've</c><00:51:51.380><c> got</c><00:51:51.460><c> the</c><00:51:51.900><c> knowledge</c><00:51:52.119><c> of</c><00:51:52.300><c> the</c><00:51:52.400><c> Lord</c><00:51:52.539><c> Jesus</c><00:51:53.019><c> Christ.</c>

00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:55.099
But<00:51:53.380><c> it's</c><00:51:53.539><c> going</c><00:51:53.639><c> to</c><00:51:53.739><c> be</c><00:51:53.900><c> unfruitful</c><00:51:54.460><c> because</c><00:51:54.659><c> they</c><00:51:54.820><c> didn't</c>

00:51:56.179 --> 00:51:58.099
That's<00:51:57.219><c> the</c><00:51:57.340><c> point.</c>

00:51:58.679 --> 00:52:00.980
So<00:51:58.780><c> it</c><00:51:58.820><c> wasn't</c><00:51:59.119><c> as</c><00:51:59.340><c> if</c><00:51:59.519><c> the</c><00:51:59.760><c> foolish</c><00:52:00.039><c> virgins</c><00:52:00.400><c> went</c><00:52:00.599><c> off</c><00:52:00.780><c> with</c>

00:52:04.199 --> 00:52:05.599
When<00:52:04.340><c> it</c><00:52:04.460><c> says</c><00:52:04.539><c> they</c><00:52:04.760><c> took</c><00:52:05.039><c> no</c><00:52:05.340><c> oil,</c>

00:52:05.760 --> 00:52:09.179
it<00:52:05.800><c> simply</c><00:52:06.099><c> means</c><00:52:06.360><c> they</c><00:52:06.639><c> didn't</c><00:52:07.159><c> take</c><00:52:07.639><c> any</c><00:52:08.099><c> reserves.</c>

00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:15.619
But<00:52:14.260><c> the</c><00:52:14.440><c> wise</c><00:52:14.579><c> did.</c>

00:52:16.139 --> 00:52:17.619
Verse<00:52:16.440><c> 4.</c>

00:52:18.000 --> 00:52:21.480
But<00:52:18.119><c> the</c><00:52:18.340><c> wise</c><00:52:18.559><c> took</c><00:52:18.820><c> oil</c><00:52:19.039><c> in</c><00:52:19.280><c> their</c><00:52:19.519><c> vessels</c><00:52:20.099><c> with</c><00:52:20.739><c> their</c><00:52:21.179><c> lamps.</c>

Note<00:52:21.780><c> that.</c>

And<00:54:29.900><c> when</c><00:54:30.059><c> it</c><00:54:30.260><c> came</c><00:54:30.360><c> to</c><00:54:30.539><c> a</c><00:54:30.760><c> crisis,</c><00:54:31.960><c> nobody</c><00:54:32.239><c> could</c><00:54:32.679><c> help</c><00:54:32.980><c> you</c><00:54:33.280><c> out.</c>

00:54:34.780 --> 00:54:36.340
You<00:54:35.019><c> stood</c><00:54:35.380><c> alone.</c>

00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:40.599
That<00:54:37.179><c> was</c><00:54:38.000><c> a</c><00:54:38.280><c> stunning</c><00:54:38.539><c> message</c><00:54:38.880><c> at</c><00:54:39.099><c> the</c><00:54:39.159><c> end</c><00:54:39.280><c> of</c><00:54:39.420><c> this</c><00:54:39.679><c> parable.</c>

00:54:41.639 --> 00:54:43.900
So<00:54:41.800><c> the</c><00:54:42.000><c> wise</c><00:54:42.179><c> have</c><00:54:42.360><c> got</c><00:54:42.500><c> oil</c><00:54:42.679><c> in</c><00:54:42.860><c> their</c><00:54:43.000><c> vessels.</c>

00:54:44.380 --> 00:54:46.739
But<00:54:44.860><c> verse</c><00:54:45.199><c> five</c><00:54:45.539><c> says,</c>

00:54:47.159 --> 00:54:50.820
while<00:54:47.280><c> the</c><00:54:47.559><c> bridegroom</c><00:54:48.019><c> tarried,</c><00:54:48.579><c> they</c><00:54:48.760><c> all</c><00:54:49.320><c> slumbered</c><00:54:49.900><c> and</c><00:54:50.099><c> slept.</c>

00:54:50.960 --> 00:54:52.380
A<00:54:51.039><c> whole</c><00:54:51.179><c> lot</c><00:54:51.340><c> of</c><00:54:51.460><c> them.</c>

00:54:53.460 --> 00:54:55.099
Slumbered<00:54:53.940><c> and</c><00:54:54.260><c> slept.</c>

00:54:55.559 --> 00:54:58.480
Actually<00:54:56.039><c> quaint</c><00:54:56.500><c> expression,</c><00:54:57.139><c> really,</c><00:54:57.300><c> because</c><00:54:57.820><c> the</c><00:54:58.179><c> first</c>

00:54:58.480 --> 00:54:59.980
verse<00:54:58.860><c> means</c><00:54:59.440><c> to</c><00:54:59.820><c> nod.</c>

00:55:00.059 --> 00:55:01.199
You<00:55:00.159><c> know</c><00:55:00.280><c> how</c><00:55:00.400><c> people</c><00:55:00.659><c> nod</c><00:55:00.920><c> off?</c>

00:55:01.300 --> 00:55:03.199
It<00:55:01.480><c> means</c><00:55:01.739><c> to</c><00:55:02.079><c> keep</c><00:55:02.420><c> nodding.</c>

00:55:03.320 --> 00:55:04.619
So<00:55:03.500><c> finally</c><00:55:03.739><c> you</c><00:55:03.880><c> fall</c><00:55:04.079><c> off</c><00:55:04.280><c> to</c><00:55:04.500><c> sleep.</c>

00:55:04.639 --> 00:55:06.059
And<00:55:04.780><c> you</c><00:55:04.820><c> know</c><00:55:04.880><c> what</c><00:55:05.000><c> it's</c><00:55:05.199><c> like.</c>

00:55:06.519 --> 00:55:09.539
In<00:55:06.659><c> a</c><00:55:06.739><c> meeting,</c><00:55:07.099><c> sometimes</c><00:55:07.480><c> there's</c><00:55:08.440><c> someone</c><00:55:08.599><c> opening</c><00:55:08.900><c> the</c><00:55:09.119><c> windows.</c>

00:55:09.539 --> 00:55:11.199
It<00:55:09.619><c> might</c><00:55:09.800><c> be</c><00:55:10.019><c> a</c><00:55:10.380><c> hot</c><00:55:10.539><c> night</c><00:55:10.800><c> or</c><00:55:10.940><c> whatever.</c>

00:55:11.239 --> 00:55:12.079
And<00:55:11.400><c> you've</c><00:55:11.500><c> been</c><00:55:11.760><c> tired.</c>

00:55:12.079 --> 00:55:14.739
So<00:55:12.260><c> you're</c><00:55:12.980><c> battling</c><00:55:13.179><c> like</c><00:55:13.480><c> crazy</c><00:55:13.820><c> to</c><00:55:14.000><c> keep</c><00:55:14.179><c> your</c><00:55:14.360><c> eyes</c><00:55:14.559><c> open,</c>

00:55:14.760 --> 00:55:15.280
haven't<00:55:14.960><c> you?</c>

00:55:15.739 --> 00:55:17.440
And<00:55:15.900><c> to</c><00:55:16.039><c> hear</c><00:55:16.099><c> what</c><00:55:16.300><c> the</c><00:55:16.440><c> speaker</c><00:55:16.659><c> says.</c>

00:55:17.679 --> 00:55:21.480
And<00:55:17.780><c> you</c><00:55:18.099><c> nod</c><00:55:18.360><c> off</c><00:55:18.579><c> and</c><00:55:18.719><c> you</c><00:55:18.860><c> wake</c><00:55:19.039><c> up</c><00:55:19.219><c> about</c><00:55:19.719><c> 10</c><00:55:19.960><c> to</c><00:55:20.059><c> 15</c><00:55:20.460><c> seconds,</c><00:55:20.860><c> 30</c><00:55:21.159><c> seconds,</c>

00:55:21.659 --> 00:55:23.860
two<00:55:21.900><c> minutes,</c><00:55:22.119><c> three</c><00:55:22.380><c> minutes,</c><00:55:22.679><c> four</c><00:55:22.940><c> minutes,</c><00:55:23.139><c> five</c><00:55:23.360><c> minutes</c><00:55:23.579><c> later,</c>

00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:25.599
and<00:55:24.099><c> you've</c><00:55:24.340><c> lost</c><00:55:24.500><c> the</c><00:55:24.739><c> connection.</c>

00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:28.019
Well,<00:55:25.940><c> that's</c><00:55:26.059><c> what</c><00:55:26.280><c> happened</c><00:55:26.420><c> to</c><00:55:26.619><c> all</c><00:55:26.719><c> of</c><00:55:26.820><c> them.</c>

00:55:28.860 --> 00:55:29.820
Why?

00:55:30.679 --> 00:55:34.820
Because<00:55:31.119><c> none</c><00:55:31.380><c> of</c><00:55:31.519><c> them</c><00:55:31.960><c> expected</c><00:55:32.679><c> the</c><00:55:33.179><c> bridegroom</c><00:55:33.719><c> to</c><00:55:34.099><c> tarry.</c>

00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:37.599
The<00:55:35.440><c> word</c><00:55:35.679><c> tarried</c><00:55:36.199><c> says</c><00:55:36.440><c> it</c><00:55:36.639><c> all.</c>

00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:40.539
It<00:55:38.199><c> was</c><00:55:38.400><c> something</c><00:55:38.579><c> they</c><00:55:38.920><c> didn't</c><00:55:39.300><c> anticipate.</c>

00:55:41.460 --> 00:55:45.300
Who<00:55:41.940><c> of</c><00:55:42.139><c> us</c><00:55:42.480><c> would</c><00:55:42.619><c> have</c><00:55:42.800><c> anticipated</c><00:55:43.500><c> that</c><00:55:44.300><c> we'd</c><00:55:44.519><c> have</c><00:55:44.579><c> been</c><00:55:44.780><c> here</c>

00:55:45.300 --> 00:55:49.219
in<00:55:45.780><c> this</c><00:55:46.079><c> time</c><00:55:46.320><c> of</c><00:55:46.579><c> this</c><00:55:46.820><c> year,</c><00:55:47.039><c> 1998,</c><00:55:48.280><c> October?</c>

00:55:49.619 --> 00:55:52.179
None<00:55:50.019><c> of</c><00:55:50.139><c> us,</c><00:55:50.480><c> go</c><00:55:50.619><c> back</c><00:55:50.780><c> even</c><00:55:51.019><c> a</c><00:55:51.159><c> few</c><00:55:51.360><c> months,</c><00:55:51.719><c> years,</c>

00:55:52.500 --> 00:55:56.119
none<00:55:52.719><c> of</c><00:55:52.840><c> us</c><00:55:52.940><c> could</c><00:55:53.159><c> ever</c><00:55:53.440><c> have</c><00:55:53.639><c> anticipated</c><00:55:54.260><c> we'd</c><00:55:54.639><c> still</c><00:55:54.820><c> be</c><00:55:55.059><c> here.</c>

00:55:57.719 --> 00:55:59.840
It's<00:55:57.960><c> like</c><00:55:58.079><c> a</c><00:55:58.239><c> dear</c><00:55:58.380><c> sister</c><00:55:58.639><c> rang</c><00:55:58.840><c> me</c><00:55:59.000><c> today</c><00:55:59.239><c> about</c><00:55:59.440><c> another</c><00:55:59.699><c> matter.</c>

00:55:59.900 --> 00:56:03.880
She<00:56:00.059><c> said,</c><00:56:01.199><c> how</c><00:56:01.559><c> long</c><00:56:01.800><c> before</c><00:56:02.039><c> the</c><00:56:02.179><c> Lord</c><00:56:02.320><c> opens</c><00:56:02.639><c> the</c><00:56:02.880><c> door?</c>

00:56:05.380 --> 00:56:06.380
Well,<00:56:05.599><c> she's</c><00:56:05.800><c> being</c><00:56:06.059><c> aware.</c>

00:56:06.400 --> 00:56:06.940
She's<00:56:06.699><c> alive.</c>

00:56:06.980 --> 00:56:08.300
She<00:56:07.119><c> knows</c><00:56:07.400><c> that</c><00:56:07.559><c> the</c><00:56:07.599><c> door's</c><00:56:07.739><c> going</c><00:56:07.880><c> to</c><00:56:07.980><c> get</c><00:56:08.099><c> open.</c>

00:56:08.300 --> 00:56:10.639
But,<00:56:08.579><c> you</c><00:56:09.000><c> know,</c><00:56:09.400><c> because</c><00:56:09.579><c> it</c><00:56:09.699><c> can</c><00:56:09.820><c> go</c><00:56:09.940><c> on</c><00:56:10.119><c> and</c><00:56:10.219><c> on,</c><00:56:10.480><c> brothers</c>

00:56:10.639 --> 00:56:10.980
and<00:56:10.920><c> sisters,</c>

00:56:11.400 --> 00:56:14.159
even<00:56:11.780><c> the</c><00:56:12.099><c> faithful</c><00:56:12.360><c> virgins</c><00:56:12.760><c> can</c><00:56:13.039><c> nod</c><00:56:13.219><c> off.</c>

00:56:15.139 --> 00:56:19.260
But<00:56:15.280><c> fortunately,</c><00:56:17.920><c> they</c><00:56:18.000><c> had</c><00:56:18.219><c> reserves.</c>

00:56:20.300 --> 00:56:21.980
You<00:56:20.340><c> know,</c><00:56:20.659><c> Paul</c><00:56:20.900><c> warns</c><00:56:21.199><c> only</c><00:56:21.400><c> about</c><00:56:21.639><c> sleeping.</c>

00:56:22.139 --> 00:56:23.659
You're<00:56:22.219><c> not</c><00:56:22.340><c> the</c><00:56:22.500><c> children</c><00:56:22.659><c> of</c><00:56:22.820><c> the</c><00:56:22.900><c> night,</c><00:56:23.119><c> he</c><00:56:23.239><c> says,</c><00:56:23.519><c> with</c>

00:56:23.659 --> 00:56:24.300
the<00:56:23.780><c> children</c><00:56:23.940><c> of</c><00:56:24.059><c> the</c><00:56:24.159><c> day.</c>

00:56:24.760 --> 00:56:29.300
But<00:56:24.980><c> the</c><00:56:25.360><c> delay</c><00:56:25.639><c> of</c><00:56:26.260><c> the</c><00:56:26.420><c> Lord</c><00:56:26.780><c> can</c><00:56:27.059><c> sometimes</c><00:56:27.519><c> be</c><00:56:27.739><c> very</c><00:56:28.300><c> depressing.</c>

00:56:29.860 --> 00:56:30.980
And<00:56:30.079><c> sometimes</c><00:56:30.340><c> we</c><00:56:30.500><c> can</c><00:56:30.679><c> waver.</c>

00:56:31.039 --> 00:56:33.119
We've<00:56:31.239><c> got</c><00:56:31.239><c> to</c><00:56:31.300><c> be</c><00:56:31.380><c> very</c><00:56:31.619><c> careful</c><00:56:31.880><c> about</c><00:56:32.159><c> that.</c>

00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:35.639
And,<00:56:33.780><c> of</c><00:56:33.840><c> course,</c><00:56:33.940><c> what</c><00:56:34.119><c> happened</c><00:56:34.480><c> at</c><00:56:34.739><c> midnight.</c>

00:56:36.139 --> 00:56:39.260
At<00:56:36.539><c> midnight,</c><00:56:37.159><c> says</c><00:56:37.320><c> verse</c><00:56:37.519><c> 6,</c><00:56:38.079><c> the</c><00:56:38.219><c> last</c><00:56:38.719><c> hour</c><00:56:38.880><c> you'd</c><00:56:39.079><c> ever</c>

00:56:40.019 --> 00:56:42.000
there<00:56:40.139><c> was</c><00:56:40.360><c> a</c><00:56:40.679><c> cry</c><00:56:41.079><c> made.</c>

00:56:42.199 --> 00:56:44.039
Now,<00:56:42.420><c> I</c><00:56:42.440><c> was</c><00:56:42.539><c> going</c><00:56:42.659><c> to</c><00:56:42.800><c> turn</c><00:56:42.920><c> a</c><00:56:43.000><c> few</c><00:56:43.280><c> of</c><00:56:43.380><c> these</c><00:56:43.539><c> references</c><00:56:43.820><c> up,</c>

00:57:26.820 --> 00:57:30.219
And<00:57:27.199><c> because</c><00:57:27.800><c> we</c><00:57:28.019><c> try</c><00:57:28.239><c> and</c><00:57:28.400><c> pick</c><00:57:28.539><c> times</c><00:57:28.880><c> and</c><00:57:29.380><c> dates,</c>

00:57:39.860 --> 00:57:40.760
Wow.

00:59:05.960 --> 00:59:08.000
It's<00:59:06.179><c> interesting</c><00:59:06.460><c> how</c><00:59:06.579><c> that</c><00:59:06.760><c> word</c><00:59:06.900><c> is</c><00:59:07.139><c> used.</c>

00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:36.440
You<00:59:32.760><c> know,</c><00:59:33.539><c> Peter</c><00:59:33.780><c> talks</c><00:59:34.119><c> about,</c><00:59:34.579><c> you</c><00:59:34.760><c> know,</c><00:59:34.860><c> who's</c><00:59:35.179><c> adorning?</c>

00:59:41.539 --> 00:59:42.739
That's<00:59:41.920><c> the</c><00:59:41.920><c> word</c><00:59:42.139><c> Cosmio.</c>

00:59:43.139 --> 00:59:44.940
Who's<00:59:43.480><c> adorning?</c>

00:59:45.300 --> 00:59:47.039
And<00:59:45.739><c> you've</c><00:59:45.940><c> got</c><00:59:46.019><c> in</c><00:59:46.159><c> Revelation</c><00:59:46.539><c> where</c><00:59:46.719><c> it</c><00:59:46.760><c> says,</c>

00:59:47.420 --> 00:59:49.360
the<00:59:47.420><c> bride</c><00:59:47.699><c> shall</c><00:59:47.880><c> be</c><00:59:48.179><c> adorned</c><00:59:48.760><c> for</c><00:59:48.960><c> her</c><00:59:49.139><c> husband.</c>

00:59:49.500 --> 00:59:51.460
That's<00:59:49.840><c> the</c><00:59:49.960><c> same</c><00:59:50.139><c> word,</c><00:59:50.599><c> Cosmio.</c>

00:59:51.699 --> 00:59:55.380
She<00:59:52.000><c> will</c><00:59:52.199><c> be</c><00:59:52.659><c> exquisitely</c><00:59:53.380><c> dressed</c><00:59:53.940><c> and</c><00:59:54.980><c> beautiful,</c>

00:59:55.380 --> 00:59:56.360
and<00:59:55.599><c> she'll</c><00:59:55.780><c> be</c><00:59:55.940><c> like</c><00:59:56.139><c> Esther.</c>

00:59:56.400 --> 00:59:59.559
She'll<00:59:56.619><c> have</c><00:59:56.699><c> no</c><00:59:57.119><c> need</c><00:59:57.599><c> for</c><00:59:57.820><c> any</c><00:59:57.980><c> artificial</c><00:59:58.920><c> cosmetics</c>

00:59:59.559 --> 01:00:01.480
because<01:00:00.019><c> she's</c><01:00:00.260><c> got</c><01:00:00.340><c> the</c><01:00:00.579><c> cosmetics</c><01:00:00.900><c> of</c><01:00:01.079><c> the</c><01:00:01.239><c> Bible.</c>

01:00:01.719 --> 01:00:02.760
Now,<01:00:01.860><c> they've</c><01:00:02.039><c> got</c><01:00:02.079><c> all</c><01:00:02.199><c> of</c><01:00:02.320><c> their</c><01:00:02.440><c> lamps,</c>

01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:05.579
and<01:00:03.099><c> they're</c><01:00:03.320><c> going</c><01:00:03.460><c> to</c><01:00:03.599><c> do</c><01:00:03.699><c> them</c><01:00:03.880><c> up</c><01:00:04.119><c> exactly</c><01:00:04.599><c> as</c><01:00:04.820><c> the</c><01:00:05.039><c> Scripture</c><01:00:05.260><c> says.</c>

01:00:06.000 --> 01:00:09.219
But<01:00:06.260><c> some</c><01:00:06.440><c> went</c><01:00:06.619><c> there,</c><01:00:07.239><c> and</c><01:00:07.460><c> there's</c><01:00:07.679><c> no</c><01:00:07.900><c> Scripture</c><01:00:08.219><c> there.</c>

01:00:09.639 --> 01:00:11.099
There's<01:00:09.860><c> no</c><01:00:10.039><c> way</c><01:00:10.139><c> to</c><01:00:10.280><c> know</c><01:00:10.380><c> how</c><01:00:10.539><c> to</c><01:00:10.699><c> do</c><01:00:10.800><c> it</c>

01:00:11.099 --> 01:00:14.800

01:00:15.619 --> 01:00:17.519
And<01:00:15.840><c> so</c><01:00:15.960><c> you're</c><01:00:16.179><c> in</c><01:00:16.280><c> the</c><01:00:16.420><c> dark.</c>

01:00:18.139 --> 01:00:19.400

they<01:00:34.980><c> were</c><01:00:35.179><c> so</c><01:00:35.460><c> foolish</c><01:00:35.760><c> to</c><01:00:36.059><c> believe</c>

01:00:36.599 --> 01:00:39.500
that<01:00:37.079><c> you</c><01:00:37.179><c> can</c><01:00:37.400><c> actually</c><01:00:37.800><c> transfer</c><01:00:38.480><c> character.</c>

01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:42.159
See,<01:00:40.340><c> the</c><01:00:40.539><c> oil</c><01:00:40.699><c> is</c><01:00:40.860><c> the</c><01:00:41.000><c> oil</c><01:00:41.079><c> of</c><01:00:41.219><c> the</c><01:00:41.360><c> Word.</c>

01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:44.760
But<01:00:42.980><c> the</c><01:00:43.179><c> wisdom</c><01:00:43.619><c> of</c><01:00:43.920><c> the</c><01:00:44.079><c> wise</c><01:00:44.360><c> virgin</c>

01:00:47.480 --> 01:00:49.139
So<01:00:47.599><c> you've</c><01:00:47.679><c> got</c><01:00:47.719><c> to</c><01:00:47.820><c> put</c><01:00:47.920><c> the</c><01:00:48.039><c> two</c><01:00:48.159><c> together.</c>

What<01:03:11.019><c> is</c><01:03:11.300><c> stated</c><01:03:11.539><c> is</c><01:03:11.739><c> it's</c><01:03:11.920><c> not</c><01:03:12.039><c> possible.</c>

01:03:14.619 --> 01:03:16.159
It's<01:03:14.880><c> not</c><01:03:15.239><c> not</c><01:03:15.460><c> so,</c><01:03:15.639><c> it</c><01:03:15.760><c> just</c><01:03:15.880><c> says,</c>

01:03:16.619 --> 01:03:18.039
there<01:03:16.719><c> isn't</c><01:03:17.039><c> enough</c><01:03:17.280><c> for</c><01:03:17.440><c> us</c><01:03:17.659><c> and</c><01:03:17.860><c> you,</c>

01:03:18.179 --> 01:03:21.059
but<01:03:18.300><c> go,</c><01:03:18.639><c> brother,</c><01:03:19.119><c> to</c><01:03:19.119><c> them</c><01:03:19.219><c> that</c><01:03:19.460><c> sell</c><01:03:19.639><c> and</c><01:03:19.860><c> buy</c><01:03:19.980><c> for</c><01:03:20.139><c> yourselves.</c>

01:03:21.300 --> 01:03:22.500
You<01:03:21.420><c> see</c><01:03:21.480><c> what</c><01:03:21.559><c> they're</c><01:03:21.719><c> saying?</c>

01:03:22.579 --> 01:03:24.980
The<01:03:22.860><c> righteous</c><01:03:23.159><c> are</c><01:03:23.360><c> not</c><01:03:23.559><c> saying</c><01:03:23.820><c> we</c><01:03:24.300><c> won't.</c>

01:03:24.980 --> 01:03:28.400
The<01:03:25.239><c> righteous</c><01:03:25.519><c> are</c><01:03:25.760><c> saying</c><01:03:25.800><c> we</c><01:03:26.039><c> can't.</c>

01:03:28.500 --> 01:03:30.219
That's<01:03:28.820><c> why</c><01:03:28.960><c> they're</c><01:03:29.320><c> wise.</c>

01:03:30.679 --> 01:03:34.119
Because<01:03:30.920><c> they</c><01:03:31.099><c> knew</c><01:03:31.320><c> in</c><01:03:31.480><c> their</c><01:03:31.659><c> lifetime</c><01:03:32.119><c> that</c><01:03:33.139><c> in</c><01:03:33.420><c> the</c><01:03:33.639><c> end</c>

01:03:34.119 --> 01:03:36.539
you<01:03:34.780><c> are</c><01:03:35.059><c> what</c><01:03:35.280><c> you</c><01:03:35.559><c> are.</c>

01:03:36.880 --> 01:03:38.519
And<01:03:37.059><c> there's</c><01:03:37.340><c> no</c><01:03:37.539><c> way</c><01:03:37.659><c> to</c><01:03:37.900><c> change</c><01:03:38.119><c> that</c><01:03:38.280><c> at</c><01:03:38.440><c> the</c><01:03:38.440><c> end</c>

01:03:38.519 --> 01:03:40.659
and<01:03:38.679><c> there's</c><01:03:38.980><c> no</c><01:03:39.219><c> way</c><01:03:39.380><c> to</c><01:03:39.699><c> borrow</c><01:03:39.920><c> character.</c>

01:03:40.940 --> 01:03:42.599
You<01:03:41.099><c> can't</c><01:03:41.639><c> do</c><01:03:41.880><c> that.</c>

01:03:42.780 --> 01:03:44.199
That's<01:03:43.099><c> the</c><01:03:43.300><c> point.</c>

01:03:44.340 --> 01:03:45.119
Buy<01:03:44.539><c> for</c><01:03:44.800><c> yourselves.</c>

01:03:45.460 --> 01:03:47.340
Now,<01:03:45.639><c> whatever</c><01:03:45.820><c> that</c><01:03:46.079><c> meant,</c><01:03:46.659><c> brothers</c><01:03:46.780><c> and</c><01:03:47.000><c> sisters,</c>

01:03:47.539 --> 01:03:49.900
we're<01:03:47.840><c> not</c><01:03:48.099><c> sure,</c><01:03:48.579><c> but</c><01:03:48.719><c> this</c><01:03:49.059><c> we</c><01:03:49.300><c> know</c><01:03:49.440><c> for</c><01:03:49.719><c> sure</c>

01:03:49.900 --> 01:03:51.980
that<01:03:50.019><c> you</c><01:03:50.179><c> can</c><01:03:50.400><c> actually</c><01:03:50.719><c> buy</c><01:03:51.019><c> things</c><01:03:51.300><c> that</c><01:03:51.460><c> are</c><01:03:51.639><c> necessary</c>

01:03:51.980 --> 01:03:53.139
for<01:03:52.179><c> the</c><01:03:52.360><c> coming</c><01:03:52.480><c> of</c><01:03:52.639><c> the</c><01:03:52.719><c> Lord,</c><01:03:52.880><c> don't</c><01:03:53.099><c> you?</c>

01:03:53.139 --> 01:03:55.360
Isaiah<01:03:53.739><c> the</c><01:03:54.000><c> prophet</c><01:03:54.139><c> says,</c><01:03:54.559><c> come</c><01:03:54.559><c> ye,</c><01:03:54.860><c> buy.</c>

01:03:55.440 --> 01:03:57.599
Buy<01:03:55.840><c> honey</c><01:03:56.219><c> and</c><01:03:56.500><c> milk</c><01:03:56.699><c> without</c><01:03:57.099><c> price.</c>

01:03:57.780 --> 01:03:59.800
It<01:03:57.920><c> doesn't</c><01:03:58.059><c> cost</c><01:03:58.360><c> you</c><01:03:58.559><c> a</c><01:03:58.659><c> thing,</c><01:03:59.179><c> doesn't</c><01:03:59.340><c> it?</c>

01:04:00.059 --> 01:04:01.960
He<01:04:00.199><c> says,</c><01:04:00.360><c> buy</c><01:04:00.639><c> it.</c>

01:04:02.920 --> 01:04:06.440
People<01:04:03.139><c> read</c><01:04:03.340><c> that</c><01:04:03.619><c> Isaiah</c><01:04:03.900><c> 55</c><01:04:04.460><c> and</c><01:04:04.619><c> they</c><01:04:04.780><c> say,</c><01:04:05.199><c> oh,</c><01:04:05.360><c> it's</c><01:04:05.659><c> free.</c>

01:04:06.539 --> 01:04:07.079
Is<01:04:06.760><c> it?</c>

01:04:07.239 --> 01:04:08.699
It<01:04:07.400><c> says,</c><01:04:07.760><c> buy</c><01:04:08.059><c> it.</c>

01:04:09.360 --> 01:04:10.940
He<01:04:09.760><c> didn't</c><01:04:09.900><c> say</c><01:04:10.079><c> come</c><01:04:10.260><c> and</c><01:04:10.500><c> take</c><01:04:10.679><c> it.</c>

01:04:11.079 --> 01:04:12.019
He<01:04:11.219><c> said,</c><01:04:11.400><c> buy</c><01:04:11.699><c> it.</c>

01:04:12.139 --> 01:04:13.480
Or<01:04:12.420><c> you</c><01:04:12.639><c> can't</c><01:04:12.940><c> bring</c><01:04:13.039><c> money.</c>

01:04:13.980 --> 01:04:15.679
It<01:04:14.139><c> won't</c><01:04:14.320><c> cost</c><01:04:14.539><c> you</c><01:04:14.739><c> any</c><01:04:15.079><c> money,</c>

01:04:15.719 --> 01:04:17.679
but<01:04:15.900><c> I'll</c><01:04:16.019><c> tell</c><01:04:16.059><c> you</c><01:04:16.159><c> what,</c><01:04:16.380><c> it'll</c><01:04:16.579><c> cost</c><01:04:16.780><c> you.</c>

01:04:18.719 --> 01:04:20.199
And<01:04:18.880><c> if</c><01:04:18.980><c> we</c><01:04:19.059><c> want</c><01:04:19.139><c> to</c><01:04:19.219><c> know</c><01:04:19.280><c> what</c><01:04:19.400><c> it's</c><01:04:19.480><c> going</c><01:04:19.639><c> to</c><01:04:19.860><c> cost,</c>

01:04:20.199 --> 01:04:24.300
Ephesians<01:04:20.900><c> 5</c><01:04:21.500><c> will</c><01:04:21.719><c> tell</c><01:04:21.940><c> you</c><01:04:22.260><c> it's</c><01:04:22.500><c> going</c><01:04:22.639><c> to</c><01:04:22.820><c> cost</c><01:04:23.000><c> you</c><01:04:23.260><c> time.</c>

01:04:25.079 --> 01:04:26.420
And<01:04:25.320><c> time,</c><01:04:25.719><c> brothers</c><01:04:25.860><c> and</c><01:04:26.139><c> sisters,</c>

01:04:26.519 --> 01:04:29.579
is<01:04:26.940><c> an</c><01:04:27.159><c> almighty</c><01:04:27.960><c> precious</c><01:04:28.579><c> commodity.</c>

01:04:30.260 --> 01:04:31.179
And<01:04:30.380><c> I'll</c><01:04:30.519><c> tell</c><01:04:30.619><c> you</c><01:04:30.820><c> what,</c>

01:04:31.639 --> 01:04:34.760
there's<01:04:31.900><c> people</c><01:04:32.179><c> who</c><01:04:32.380><c> don't</c><01:04:32.619><c> want</c><01:04:32.760><c> to</c><01:04:32.960><c> spend</c><01:04:33.119><c> time.</c>

01:04:35.039 --> 01:04:36.099
Their<01:04:35.260><c> time</c><01:04:35.500><c> is</c><01:04:35.800><c> valuable.</c>

01:04:36.260 --> 01:04:38.119
They<01:04:36.420><c> don't</c><01:04:36.539><c> want</c><01:04:36.679><c> to</c><01:04:36.800><c> spend</c><01:04:36.960><c> it</c><01:04:37.059><c> on</c><01:04:37.219><c> something</c><01:04:37.579><c> else</c><01:04:37.860><c> other</c>

01:04:38.119 --> 01:04:39.380
than<01:04:38.400><c> self.</c>

01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:41.960
And<01:04:40.059><c> therefore,</c><01:04:40.440><c> time</c><01:04:40.820><c> is</c><01:04:41.159><c> spent</c><01:04:41.360><c> on</c><01:04:41.699><c> self.</c>

01:04:42.139 --> 01:04:43.420
And<01:04:42.280><c> time</c><01:04:42.599><c> is</c><01:04:42.800><c> spent</c><01:04:42.880><c> on</c><01:04:43.239><c> self.</c>

01:04:43.559 --> 01:04:44.260
Time's<01:04:43.960><c> gone.</c>

01:04:44.440 --> 01:04:45.440
Time<01:04:44.739><c> can</c><01:04:45.019><c> buy</c><01:04:45.179><c> nothing.</c>

01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:46.099
It's<01:04:45.719><c> gone.</c>

01:04:46.360 --> 01:04:48.699
And<01:04:46.679><c> no</c><01:04:47.059><c> way</c><01:04:47.420><c> can</c><01:04:47.619><c> you</c><01:04:47.920><c> redeem</c><01:04:48.280><c> the</c><01:04:48.559><c> time.</c>

01:04:48.699 --> 01:04:51.519
There's<01:04:49.099><c> no</c><01:04:49.360><c> way</c><01:04:49.539><c> you</c><01:04:49.619><c> can</c><01:04:49.760><c> bring</c><01:04:49.960><c> it</c><01:04:50.099><c> back.</c>

01:04:51.820 --> 01:04:53.880
But<01:04:51.880><c> Paul</c><01:04:52.000><c> says</c><01:04:52.139><c> you</c><01:04:52.239><c> can</c><01:04:52.519><c> buy</c><01:04:52.739><c> it</c><01:04:52.980><c> back.</c>

01:04:54.000 --> 01:04:55.880
How<01:04:54.179><c> do</c><01:04:54.260><c> you</c><01:04:54.380><c> buy</c><01:04:54.579><c> time</c><01:04:54.880><c> back?</c>

01:04:57.159 --> 01:04:59.099
By<01:04:57.599><c> sacrificing</c><01:04:58.039><c> your</c><01:04:58.320><c> own</c><01:04:58.559><c> time</c>

01:04:59.099 --> 01:05:00.820
to<01:04:59.639><c> gather</c><01:04:59.820><c> up</c><01:05:00.059><c> that</c><01:05:00.219><c> which</c><01:05:00.360><c> you've</c><01:05:00.619><c> lost.</c>

01:05:01.059 --> 01:05:01.880
But<01:05:01.179><c> you've</c><01:05:01.420><c> got</c><01:05:01.440><c> to</c><01:05:01.659><c> sacrifice.</c>

01:05:02.360 --> 01:05:03.219
It's<01:05:02.480><c> got</c><01:05:02.519><c> to</c><01:05:02.679><c> be</c><01:05:02.940><c> bought.</c>

01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:05.300
It's<01:05:03.760><c> not</c><01:05:03.920><c> going</c><01:05:04.059><c> to</c><01:05:04.199><c> cost</c><01:05:04.340><c> you</c><01:05:04.500><c> nothing.</c>

01:05:05.639 --> 01:05:07.380
But<01:05:05.800><c> it's</c><01:05:05.860><c> not</c><01:05:06.019><c> going</c><01:05:06.139><c> to</c><01:05:06.239><c> cost</c><01:05:06.380><c> you</c><01:05:06.539><c> money.</c>

01:05:07.639 --> 01:05:09.199
Because<01:05:07.860><c> money</c><01:05:08.119><c> won't</c><01:05:08.420><c> buy.</c>

01:05:09.260 --> 01:05:11.039
That's<01:05:09.619><c> what</c><01:05:09.880><c> these</c><01:05:10.559><c> were</c><01:05:10.840><c> told.</c>

01:05:11.340 --> 01:05:15.400
And<01:05:11.400><c> so</c><01:05:12.000><c> even</c><01:05:12.940><c> later</c><01:05:13.599><c> this</c><01:05:13.860><c> season</c><01:05:13.940><c> were</c><01:05:14.099><c> told</c><01:05:14.340><c> to</c><01:05:14.739><c> buy,</c><01:05:15.079><c> weren't</c><01:05:15.199><c> they,</c>

01:05:53.400 --> 01:05:56.900
It's<01:05:53.619><c> the</c><01:05:53.880><c> bridegroom</c><01:05:54.320><c> who</c><01:05:54.599><c> clothes</c><01:05:54.940><c> her</c><01:05:55.360><c> and</c><01:05:55.679><c> who</c><01:05:55.960><c> washes</c><01:05:56.119><c> her</c>

01:06:17.460 --> 01:06:19.480
How<01:06:17.599><c> does</c><01:06:17.719><c> she</c><01:06:17.880><c> make</c><01:06:18.119><c> herself</c><01:06:18.579><c> ready?</c>

01:06:25.340 --> 01:06:27.860
We<01:06:25.679><c> can't</c><01:06:26.039><c> wash</c><01:06:26.340><c> our</c><01:06:26.539><c> own</c><01:06:26.719><c> garments</c><01:06:27.000><c> and</c><01:06:27.219><c> make</c><01:06:27.380><c> them</c><01:06:27.579><c> white.</c>

They're<01:06:28.320><c> made</c><01:06:28.539><c> white</c><01:06:28.760><c> in</c><01:06:28.900><c> the</c><01:06:29.000><c> blood</c><01:06:29.099><c> of</c><01:06:29.280><c> the</c><01:06:29.420><c> lamb.</c>

01:06:31.719 --> 01:06:32.920
He's<01:06:32.199><c> going</c><01:06:32.340><c> to</c><01:06:32.480><c> do</c><01:06:32.579><c> it.</c>

01:06:33.079 --> 01:06:35.719
How<01:06:33.340><c> she</c><01:06:33.619><c> does</c><01:06:33.860><c> it,</c><01:06:34.159><c> how</c><01:06:34.420><c> she</c><01:06:34.739><c> makes</c><01:06:35.079><c> herself</c><01:06:35.400><c> ready,</c>

01:06:35.860 --> 01:06:40.219

01:06:40.539 --> 01:06:43.619
So<01:06:41.019><c> that</c><01:06:41.139><c> when</c><01:06:41.260><c> he</c><01:06:41.420><c> comes,</c><01:06:42.260><c> she'll</c><01:06:42.440><c> be</c><01:06:42.639><c> ready</c><01:06:42.780><c> as</c><01:06:43.019><c> he</c><01:06:43.219><c> wants</c><01:06:43.440><c> her</c><01:06:43.539><c> to</c>

01:06:46.300 --> 01:06:48.239
But<01:06:46.460><c> she's</c><01:06:46.699><c> got</c><01:06:46.780><c> to</c><01:06:46.940><c> submit</c><01:06:47.139><c> to</c><01:06:47.300><c> that.</c>

01:06:48.599 --> 01:06:49.619
That's<01:06:48.699><c> what</c><01:06:48.800><c> Ephesians</c><01:06:49.219><c> 5</c><01:06:49.460><c> says.</c>

01:06:49.659 --> 01:06:50.900
That's<01:06:49.840><c> how</c><01:06:49.960><c> she</c><01:06:50.099><c> makes</c><01:06:50.360><c> herself</c><01:06:50.599><c> ready.</c>

01:06:54.039 --> 01:06:57.519
Now<01:06:54.139><c> the</c><01:06:54.280><c> door</c><01:06:54.480><c> is</c><01:06:54.739><c> shut</c><01:06:55.179><c> in</c><01:06:56.260><c> verse</c><01:06:56.519><c> 11.</c>

01:06:57.880 --> 01:06:59.820
Afterward<01:06:58.320><c> came</c><01:06:58.559><c> also</c><01:06:58.880><c> the</c><01:06:59.099><c> other</c><01:06:59.300><c> virgin</c><01:06:59.480><c> saying,</c>
