Me<00:00:06.440><c> too.</c>

00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:08.880
We<00:00:07.759><c> just</c><00:00:08.080><c> sang</c><00:00:08.240><c> Days</c><00:00:08.460><c> of</c><00:00:08.580><c> Elijah.</c>

00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:12.300
That<00:00:09.080><c> song</c><00:00:09.339><c> always</c><00:00:09.599><c> reminds</c><00:00:09.880><c> me</c><00:00:10.220><c> of,</c><00:00:11.199><c> I</c><00:00:11.380><c> go</c><00:00:11.519><c> to</c><00:00:11.660><c> Trinidad,</c><00:00:12.179><c> but</c>

00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:14.220
I've<00:00:12.380><c> been</c><00:00:12.460><c> there</c><00:00:12.599><c> twice</c><00:00:12.859><c> now,</c><00:00:13.419><c> but</c><00:00:13.720><c> in</c><00:00:14.119><c> the</c>

00:00:14.220 --> 00:00:15.039
last<00:00:14.380><c> couple</c><00:00:14.599><c> of</c><00:00:14.779><c> years.</c>

00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:18.239
And<00:00:15.419><c> there's</c><00:00:15.560><c> a</c><00:00:15.720><c> brother</c><00:00:15.880><c> there</c><00:00:16.300><c> who</c><00:00:16.879><c> absolutely</c><00:00:17.399><c> loves</c><00:00:17.679><c> that</c><00:00:17.899><c> song.</c>

00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:21.260
And<00:00:18.660><c> so</c><00:00:18.960><c> every</c><00:00:19.219><c> day,</c><00:00:20.019><c> I</c><00:00:20.600><c> brought</c><00:00:20.760><c> my</c><00:00:20.899><c> guitar.</c>

00:00:21.579 --> 00:00:24.339
And<00:00:21.660><c> so</c><00:00:21.820><c> every</c><00:00:22.039><c> day</c><00:00:22.179><c> he</c><00:00:22.260><c> would</c><00:00:22.420><c> say</c><00:00:22.640><c> to</c><00:00:22.800><c> me,</c><00:00:23.640><c> Brother</c><00:00:23.920><c> Jason.</c>

00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:25.920
And<00:00:24.600><c> I'd</c><00:00:24.839><c> say,</c><00:00:25.179><c> yes,</c><00:00:25.460><c> Brother</c><00:00:25.620><c> Andre.</c>

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:31.079
And<00:00:26.780><c> he'd</c><00:00:27.640><c> say,</c><00:00:28.359><c> let's</c><00:00:28.640><c> sing</c><00:00:28.839><c> a</c><00:00:28.980><c> song</c><00:00:29.359><c> that</c><00:00:29.859><c> everybody</c><00:00:30.420><c> knows.</c>

00:00:31.460 --> 00:00:32.500
And<00:00:31.660><c> I'd</c><00:00:32.000><c> say,</c><00:00:32.159><c> OK.</c>

00:00:32.859 --> 00:00:34.100
What<00:00:33.100><c> song</c><00:00:33.359><c> do</c><00:00:33.479><c> you</c><00:00:33.579><c> want</c><00:00:33.659><c> to</c><00:00:33.899><c> sing?</c>

00:00:34.579 --> 00:00:36.840
Let's<00:00:34.960><c> sing</c><00:00:35.840><c> Days</c><00:00:36.320><c> of</c><00:00:36.520><c> Elijah.</c>

00:00:36.899 --> 00:00:37.679
Do<00:00:37.039><c> you</c><00:00:37.100><c> know</c><00:00:37.240><c> that</c><00:00:37.420><c> one?</c>

00:00:37.939 --> 00:00:39.340
And<00:00:38.000><c> then,</c><00:00:38.500><c> yes,</c><00:00:38.899><c> Brother</c><00:00:39.020><c> Andre.</c>

00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:42.679
We<00:00:40.020><c> sang</c><00:00:40.240><c> that</c><00:00:40.420><c> yesterday</c><00:00:40.920><c> and</c><00:00:41.500><c> the</c><00:00:41.619><c> day</c><00:00:41.780><c> before.</c>

00:00:43.219 --> 00:00:43.740
Great.

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:44.600
Let's<00:00:44.320><c> sing</c><00:00:44.460><c> it.</c>

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:45.240
And<00:00:44.719><c> then</c><00:00:44.820><c> we'd</c><00:00:45.100><c> sing.</c>

00:00:45.340 --> 00:00:46.679
And<00:00:45.700><c> he'd</c><00:00:45.920><c> sing</c><00:00:46.079><c> it</c><00:00:46.240><c> like</c><00:00:46.420><c> this.</c>

00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:48.179
These<00:00:47.380><c> are</c><00:00:47.859><c> the</c><00:00:48.159><c> days.</c>

00:00:48.179 --> 00:00:49.039
And<00:00:48.340><c> he'd</c><00:00:48.539><c> be</c><00:00:48.740><c> clapping.</c>

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.399
And<00:00:49.420><c> he</c><00:00:49.520><c> always</c><00:00:49.799><c> does</c><00:00:50.000><c> this</c><00:00:50.340><c> arm</c><00:00:50.640><c> thing.</c>

00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.140
Anyway,<00:00:52.960><c> he</c><00:00:53.479><c> made</c><00:00:53.619><c> that</c><00:00:53.859><c> song</c><00:00:54.000><c> very</c><00:00:54.280><c> exciting.</c>

00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:57.219
So<00:00:55.960><c> he</c><00:00:56.399><c> likes</c><00:00:56.659><c> that</c><00:00:56.859><c> song</c><00:00:57.020><c> a</c><00:00:57.140><c> lot.</c>

00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:58.479
So<00:00:57.380><c> I</c><00:00:57.420><c> always</c><00:00:57.600><c> think</c><00:00:57.759><c> of</c><00:00:57.799><c> him.</c>

00:00:58.979 --> 00:00:59.359
All<00:00:59.079><c> right.</c>

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.079
If<00:00:59.759><c> you'll</c><00:00:59.979><c> turn</c><00:01:00.119><c> with</c><00:01:00.259><c> me</c><00:01:00.399><c> now</c><00:01:00.619><c> to</c><00:01:00.840><c> Ezekiel</c><00:01:01.259><c> chapter</c><00:01:01.600><c> 37,</c><00:01:02.939><c> I</c>

00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:03.359
just<00:01:03.240><c> want</c>

00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.099
to<00:01:03.500><c> give</c><00:01:03.600><c> ourselves</c><00:01:04.019><c> a</c><00:01:04.260><c> brief</c><00:01:04.480><c> review</c><00:01:04.939><c> of</c><00:01:05.540><c> really</c><00:01:05.760><c> what</c><00:01:05.879><c> it</c><00:01:06.000><c> is</c>

00:01:06.099 --> 00:01:06.760
that<00:01:06.219><c> we're</c><00:01:06.340><c> looking</c><00:01:06.579><c> at.</c>

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.819
We<00:01:06.920><c> talked</c><00:01:07.140><c> about</c><00:01:07.400><c> the</c><00:01:07.719><c> second</c><00:01:07.959><c> Exodus</c><00:01:08.480><c> and</c><00:01:09.500><c> the</c><00:01:09.980><c> restoration</c><00:01:10.579><c> of</c>

00:01:10.819 --> 00:01:15.079
God's<00:01:11.219><c> people</c><00:01:11.420><c> of</c><00:01:11.540><c> Israel</c><00:01:12.140><c> and</c><00:01:12.859><c> seeing</c><00:01:13.159><c> them</c><00:01:13.859><c> brought</c><00:01:14.480><c> back</c>

00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:15.819
in<00:01:15.659><c> the</c>

00:01:15.819 --> 00:01:18.780
love<00:01:15.920><c> of</c><00:01:16.200><c> God,</c><00:01:16.400><c> the</c><00:01:16.519><c> mercy</c><00:01:16.799><c> of</c><00:01:16.980><c> our</c><00:01:17.180><c> God,</c><00:01:17.480><c> brought</c><00:01:17.659><c> back</c><00:01:18.340><c> into</c><00:01:18.560><c> the</c>

00:01:18.780 --> 00:01:19.040
land.

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:26.019
So<00:01:20.079><c> really,</c><00:01:22.420><c> I</c><00:01:22.459><c> think</c><00:01:22.700><c> what</c><00:01:23.299><c> we</c><00:01:23.480><c> saw</c><00:01:23.680><c> yesterday</c><00:01:24.260><c> was</c><00:01:25.019><c> that</c><00:01:25.459><c> Israel</c><00:01:25.819><c> and</c>

00:01:26.019 --> 00:01:29.120
Judah,<00:01:26.739><c> for</c><00:01:26.980><c> years</c><00:01:27.379><c> and</c><00:01:27.519><c> years,</c><00:01:28.239><c> have</c><00:01:28.459><c> been</c><00:01:28.719><c> separate.</c>

00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:30.400
They've<00:01:29.640><c> been</c><00:01:29.799><c> separate</c><00:01:30.019><c> nations.</c>

00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:32.879
Israel,<00:01:31.120><c> more</c><00:01:31.359><c> or</c><00:01:31.459><c> less,</c><00:01:31.659><c> just</c><00:01:31.879><c> disappeared.</c>

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:35.459
And<00:01:33.959><c> Judah</c><00:01:34.319><c> came</c><00:01:34.799><c> back.</c>

00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:39.540
And<00:01:36.060><c> yet,</c><00:01:36.219><c> if</c><00:01:36.400><c> you</c><00:01:36.500><c> take</c><00:01:36.680><c> a</c><00:01:36.739><c> look</c><00:01:36.859><c> at</c><00:01:37.560><c> the</c><00:01:37.799><c> prophecy</c><00:01:38.120><c> in</c><00:01:38.280><c> Ezekiel</c><00:01:38.560><c> 37,</c><00:01:39.540><c> I</c>

00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:42.540
think<00:01:39.700><c> it</c><00:01:39.799><c> gives</c><00:01:39.980><c> us</c><00:01:40.200><c> a</c><00:01:40.260><c> very</c><00:01:40.579><c> helpful</c><00:01:40.980><c> and</c><00:01:41.659><c> a</c><00:01:41.859><c> really</c><00:01:42.079><c> beautiful</c>

00:01:42.540 --> 00:01:45.439
overview<00:01:43.040><c> of</c><00:01:43.420><c> what</c><00:01:43.599><c> God</c><00:01:43.879><c> plans</c><00:01:44.159><c> on</c><00:01:44.400><c> doing</c><00:01:44.620><c> with</c><00:01:44.819><c> these</c><00:01:45.060><c> people.</c>

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:50.799
So<00:01:45.980><c> in</c><00:01:46.120><c> Ezekiel</c><00:01:46.400><c> 37,</c><00:01:47.640><c> Ezekiel</c><00:01:47.980><c> was</c><00:01:48.140><c> told</c><00:01:48.340><c> to</c><00:01:48.500><c> do</c><00:01:48.700><c> something</c><00:01:49.120><c> that</c><00:01:50.000><c> a</c><00:01:50.640><c> lot</c>

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.000
of<00:01:50.900><c> people</c><00:01:51.079><c> probably</c><00:01:51.480><c> wondered</c><00:01:51.739><c> what</c><00:01:51.900><c> he</c><00:01:52.000><c> was</c><00:01:52.180><c> doing.</c>

00:01:53.019 --> 00:01:55.939
So<00:01:53.140><c> Ezekiel</c><00:01:53.459><c> 37,</c><00:01:53.920><c> we're</c><00:01:54.079><c> going</c><00:01:54.159><c> to</c><00:01:54.239><c> start</c><00:01:54.379><c> at</c><00:01:54.500><c> verse</c><00:01:54.659><c> 15.</c>

00:01:56.659 --> 00:02:00.879
It<00:01:56.799><c> says</c><00:01:56.980><c> there,</c><00:01:57.599><c> Ezekiel</c><00:01:57.959><c> 37,</c><00:01:58.519><c> verse</c><00:01:58.640><c> 15,</c><00:01:59.939><c> the</c><00:02:00.180><c> word</c><00:02:00.420><c> of</c><00:02:00.560><c> the</c><00:02:00.700><c> Lord</c>

00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.980
came<00:02:01.120><c> again</c><00:02:01.400><c> unto</c><00:02:01.579><c> me,</c><00:02:02.079><c> saying,</c><00:02:02.739><c> moreover,</c><00:02:03.319><c> thou</c><00:02:03.359><c> son</c><00:02:03.540><c> of</c><00:02:03.700><c> man,</c>

00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.140

00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:07.519

of<00:04:13.680><c> the</c><00:04:13.860><c> passages</c><00:04:14.120><c> that</c><00:04:14.340><c> maybe</c><00:04:14.560><c> were</c><00:04:14.719><c> a</c><00:04:14.800><c> little</c><00:04:14.919><c> more</c><00:04:15.500><c> obscure.</c>

00:04:16.300 --> 00:04:18.740
And<00:04:16.480><c> I</c><00:04:16.519><c> think</c><00:04:16.720><c> we'll</c><00:04:17.160><c> kind</c><00:04:17.300><c> of</c><00:04:17.399><c> see</c><00:04:17.500><c> that</c><00:04:17.720><c> happen</c><00:04:17.899><c> today.</c>

00:04:18.939 --> 00:04:21.639
So<00:04:19.139><c> we'll</c><00:04:19.259><c> look</c><00:04:19.420><c> at</c><00:04:19.579><c> Israel</c><00:04:19.839><c> in</c><00:04:19.980><c> the</c><00:04:20.079><c> wilderness,</c><00:04:21.240><c> and</c><00:04:21.540><c> then</c>

00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:21.879
we'll<00:04:21.720><c> look</c>

00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:22.699
at<00:04:22.019><c> Israel</c><00:04:22.300><c> restored.</c>

00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.199
So<00:04:23.319><c> that</c><00:04:23.459><c> will</c><00:04:23.600><c> be</c><00:04:23.740><c> our</c><00:04:23.899><c> goal</c><00:04:24.339><c> for</c><00:04:24.639><c> today,</c><00:04:25.360><c> Israel</c><00:04:25.660><c> in</c><00:04:25.759><c> the</c><00:04:25.879><c> wilderness</c>

00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:27.600
and<00:04:26.420><c> Israel</c><00:04:26.699><c> restored.</c>

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.379
But<00:04:28.399><c> before</c><00:04:28.740><c> that,</c><00:04:30.379><c> there's</c><00:04:30.560><c> a</c><00:04:30.660><c> little</c><00:04:30.800><c> bit</c><00:04:30.939><c> of</c><00:04:31.060><c> background</c>

00:04:31.379 --> 00:04:31.620
that<00:04:31.519><c> we</c>

00:04:31.620 --> 00:04:32.240
need<00:04:31.779><c> to</c><00:04:31.939><c> do.</c>

00:04:32.620 --> 00:04:36.300
So<00:04:32.740><c> if</c><00:04:32.819><c> you'll</c><00:04:33.019><c> come</c><00:04:33.160><c> back</c><00:04:33.379><c> with</c><00:04:33.560><c> me</c><00:04:33.720><c> to</c><00:04:33.920><c> Genesis</c><00:04:34.279><c> chapter</c><00:04:34.660><c> 15,</c><00:04:36.100><c> let's</c>

00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:37.519
look<00:04:36.439><c> at</c><00:04:36.600><c> this.</c>

00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:38.740
This<00:04:37.759><c> is</c><00:04:37.879><c> Genesis</c><00:04:38.240><c> 15.</c>

00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:40.439
This<00:04:39.180><c> is</c><00:04:39.360><c> a</c><00:04:39.399><c> well</c><00:04:39.600><c>-known</c><00:04:39.740><c> passage</c><00:04:40.100><c> to</c><00:04:40.319><c> us.</c>

00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:45.279
It's<00:04:40.779><c> the</c><00:04:40.980><c> promises</c><00:04:41.480><c> that</c><00:04:42.720><c> God</c><00:04:42.939><c> made</c><00:04:43.120><c> to</c><00:04:43.399><c> Abram,</c><00:04:44.160><c> specifically</c><00:04:44.819><c> about</c><00:04:45.079><c> the</c>

00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:46.100
land.

00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.240
And<00:04:46.939><c> we're</c><00:04:47.199><c> going</c><00:04:47.319><c> to</c><00:04:47.420><c> look</c><00:04:47.540><c> at</c><00:04:47.660><c> something</c><00:04:47.879><c> that</c><00:04:48.060><c> perhaps</c><00:04:48.459><c> maybe</c><00:04:48.800><c> we</c>

00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.500
haven't<00:04:49.420><c> thought</c><00:04:49.639><c> about</c><00:04:49.839><c> before,</c><00:04:50.360><c> at</c><00:04:50.459><c> least</c><00:04:50.819><c> for</c><00:04:51.040><c> me</c><00:04:51.259><c> before</c>

00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:51.819
I<00:04:51.680><c> had</c><00:04:51.680><c> done</c>

00:04:51.819 --> 00:04:52.680
this<00:04:52.019><c> study.</c>

00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:54.839
This<00:04:53.100><c> just</c><00:04:53.339><c> hadn't</c><00:04:53.480><c> come</c><00:04:53.639><c> into</c><00:04:53.759><c> my</c><00:04:53.980><c> mind.</c>

00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.939
Genesis<00:04:56.480><c> 15,</c><00:04:57.899><c> as</c><00:04:58.139><c> we</c><00:04:58.339><c> read,</c><00:04:58.800><c> we're</c><00:04:58.939><c> going</c><00:04:59.040><c> to</c><00:04:59.160><c> read</c><00:04:59.259><c> verse</c><00:04:59.459><c> 18.</c>

00:05:00.259 --> 00:05:04.180
I<00:05:00.319><c> want</c><00:05:00.439><c> you</c><00:05:00.600><c> to</c><00:05:00.759><c> tell</c><00:05:00.879><c> me,</c><00:05:01.920><c> what</c><00:05:02.100><c> was</c><00:05:02.360><c> the</c><00:05:02.600><c> land</c><00:05:02.879><c> that</c><00:05:03.000><c> was</c><00:05:03.279><c> promised</c><00:05:03.699><c> to</c>

00:05:04.180 --> 00:05:05.220
Abram?

00:05:05.459 --> 00:05:05.480
Okay?

00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:07.639
Genesis<00:05:06.240><c> 15,</c><00:05:07.120><c> verse</c><00:05:07.300><c> 18.</c>

00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:09.639
What<00:05:07.839><c> was</c><00:05:08.019><c> the</c><00:05:08.180><c> land</c><00:05:08.319><c> promised</c><00:05:08.660><c> to</c><00:05:08.800><c> Abram?</c>

00:05:10.379 --> 00:05:13.819
In<00:05:10.519><c> the</c><00:05:10.699><c> same</c><00:05:10.899><c> day,</c><00:05:11.160><c> the</c><00:05:11.279><c> Lord</c><00:05:11.480><c> made</c><00:05:11.699><c> a</c><00:05:11.920><c> covenant</c><00:05:12.160><c> with</c><00:05:12.399><c> Abram,</c><00:05:13.000><c> saying,</c>

00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:17.139
unto<00:05:14.139><c> thy</c><00:05:14.439><c> seed</c><00:05:14.660><c> have</c><00:05:14.819><c> I</c><00:05:15.060><c> given</c><00:05:15.220><c> this</c><00:05:15.480><c> land</c><00:05:15.959><c> from</c><00:05:16.759><c> the</c><00:05:16.939><c> river</c>

00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.639
Now,<00:05:21.480><c> what</c><00:05:21.680><c> would</c><00:05:21.839><c> you</c><00:05:22.040><c> say</c><00:05:22.160><c> would</c><00:05:22.300><c> be</c><00:05:22.459><c> the</c><00:05:22.579><c> land</c><00:05:22.740><c> that</c><00:05:22.860><c> was</c><00:05:23.100><c> promised</c><00:05:23.379><c> to</c>

00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:24.860
Abram?

00:05:25.819 --> 00:05:26.720
Yeah.

00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:27.040
Yeah.

00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:27.740
Iraq,<00:05:27.560><c> right?</c>

00:05:27.860 --> 00:05:29.480
There's<00:05:28.259><c> like</c><00:05:28.459><c> a</c><00:05:28.600><c> lot</c><00:05:28.819><c> of</c><00:05:29.000><c> land</c><00:05:29.199><c> here.</c>

00:05:29.779 --> 00:05:32.660
Now,<00:05:30.199><c> if</c><00:05:30.379><c> somebody</c><00:05:30.620><c> would</c><00:05:30.779><c> have</c><00:05:30.939><c> just</c><00:05:31.259><c> a</c><00:05:31.500><c> few</c><00:05:31.680><c> years</c><00:05:31.920><c> ago</c><00:05:32.100><c> walked</c><00:05:32.379><c> up</c><00:05:32.579><c> to</c>

00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.720
I<00:05:35.019><c> probably</c><00:05:35.300><c> would</c><00:05:35.439><c> have</c><00:05:35.560><c> answered,</c><00:05:36.800><c> Israel.</c>

00:05:38.300 --> 00:05:41.100
Now,<00:05:39.060><c> somebody</c><00:05:39.319><c> probably</c><00:05:40.000><c> more</c><00:05:40.199><c> than</c><00:05:40.360><c> likely</c><00:05:40.560><c> wouldn't</c><00:05:40.800><c> have</c><00:05:40.939><c> done</c>

00:05:41.100 --> 00:05:41.459
that.

00:05:41.540 --> 00:05:43.560
That<00:05:41.740><c> would</c><00:05:41.879><c> have</c><00:05:41.959><c> been</c><00:05:42.040><c> kind</c><00:05:42.199><c> of</c><00:05:42.279><c> a</c><00:05:42.379><c> random</c><00:05:42.540><c> thing</c><00:05:42.720><c> to</c><00:05:42.860><c> do.</c>

00:05:43.819 --> 00:05:45.680
But<00:05:44.220><c> that</c><00:05:44.620><c> would</c><00:05:44.759><c> have</c><00:05:44.899><c> been</c><00:05:45.199><c> my</c><00:05:45.439><c> thought.</c>

00:05:45.899 --> 00:05:48.879
I<00:05:46.120><c> would</c><00:05:46.300><c> have</c><00:05:46.439><c> said,</c><00:05:46.779><c> oh,</c><00:05:46.959><c> yeah,</c><00:05:47.100><c> it</c><00:05:47.180><c> was</c><00:05:47.480><c> Israel,</c><00:05:48.259><c> a</c><00:05:48.360><c> little</c><00:05:48.680><c> New</c>

00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:53.319

00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:58.660
And<00:05:53.879><c> yet,</c><00:05:54.000><c> when</c><00:05:54.100><c> you</c><00:05:54.240><c> look</c><00:05:54.379><c> at</c><00:05:54.560><c> this,</c><00:05:55.579><c> this</c><00:05:55.819><c> was</c><00:05:56.300><c> a</c><00:05:56.680><c> massive</c><00:05:57.480><c> piece</c><00:05:58.279><c> of</c>

00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:03.220
He<00:05:59.759><c> had</c><00:06:00.199><c> from</c><00:06:00.819><c> the</c><00:06:01.180><c> river</c><00:06:01.399><c> of</c><00:06:01.620><c> Egypt</c><00:06:02.019><c> to</c><00:06:02.420><c> the</c><00:06:02.639><c> great</c><00:06:02.839><c> river,</c>

00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.420
Now,<00:06:04.899><c> what</c><00:06:05.240><c> I'm</c><00:06:05.360><c> going</c><00:06:05.439><c> to</c><00:06:05.560><c> suggest</c><00:06:05.860><c> to</c><00:06:06.079><c> you</c><00:06:06.420><c> is</c><00:06:06.800><c> we</c><00:06:06.959><c> would</c><00:06:07.120><c> typically</c>

OK.

00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:25.699
Yeah.

00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:27.839
If<00:07:26.139><c> you</c><00:07:26.300><c> have</c><00:07:26.379><c> the</c><00:07:26.560><c> same</c><00:07:26.680><c> Bible</c><00:07:26.920><c> as</c><00:07:27.160><c> me,</c><00:07:27.279><c> you</c><00:07:27.399><c> might</c><00:07:27.600><c> have</c><00:07:27.740><c> it</c>

00:07:45.139 --> 00:07:46.899
There's<00:07:45.540><c> a</c><00:07:45.660><c> reason</c><00:07:45.819><c> that</c><00:07:45.959><c> we're</c><00:07:46.079><c> talking</c><00:07:46.360><c> about</c><00:07:46.639><c> that.</c>

00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:48.680
There's<00:07:47.259><c> a</c><00:07:47.399><c> reason</c><00:07:47.620><c> that</c><00:07:47.939><c> we're</c><00:07:48.120><c> looking</c><00:07:48.319><c> at</c><00:07:48.500><c> this.</c>

00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.259
And<00:07:49.079><c> I</c><00:07:49.139><c> think</c><00:07:49.259><c> it'll</c><00:07:49.500><c> make</c><00:07:49.680><c> sense</c><00:07:50.399><c> more</c><00:07:51.000><c> as</c><00:07:51.160><c> we</c><00:07:51.279><c> go</c><00:07:51.459><c> along.</c>

00:07:53.300 --> 00:07:55.620
I<00:07:53.399><c> think</c><00:07:53.560><c> we're</c><00:07:53.759><c> looking</c><00:07:54.079><c> at</c><00:07:54.759><c> the</c><00:07:54.959><c> boundary</c><00:07:55.220><c> of</c><00:07:55.379><c> the</c><00:07:55.480><c> land</c>

00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:01.459
Now,<00:08:00.420><c> this</c><00:08:00.800><c> I</c><00:08:01.000><c> think</c><00:08:01.100><c> is</c><00:08:01.259><c> helpful.</c>

00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:02.699
There's<00:08:01.740><c> our</c><00:08:01.980><c> little</c><00:08:02.220><c> brook</c><00:08:02.379><c> of</c><00:08:02.540><c> Egypt.</c>

00:08:02.740 --> 00:08:03.779
It's<00:08:02.920><c> not</c><00:08:03.180><c> super</c><00:08:03.480><c> big.</c>

00:08:04.259 --> 00:08:06.040
But<00:08:04.360><c> I</c><00:08:05.199><c> think</c><00:08:05.319><c> this</c><00:08:05.500><c> is</c><00:08:05.699><c> helpful.</c>

00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:10.220
The<00:08:06.439><c> reason</c><00:08:06.879><c> is</c><00:08:07.839><c> that</c><00:08:08.040><c> if</c><00:08:08.139><c> you</c><00:08:08.339><c> start</c><00:08:08.519><c> looking</c><00:08:08.959><c> at</c><00:08:09.779><c> some</c><00:08:10.100><c> of</c>

they<00:08:17.379><c> say,</c>

00:08:17.980 --> 00:08:21.480
you've<00:08:18.100><c> been</c><00:08:18.240><c> given</c><00:08:18.420><c> the</c><00:08:18.699><c> land</c><00:08:18.939><c> from</c><00:08:19.439><c> the</c><00:08:19.680><c> Red</c><00:08:19.899><c> Sea</c><00:08:20.399><c> to</c><00:08:21.319><c> the</c>

And<00:08:25.920><c> over</c><00:08:26.040><c> and</c><00:08:26.160><c> over</c><00:08:26.259><c> it</c><00:08:26.379><c> says</c><00:08:26.579><c> that.</c>

00:08:26.740 --> 00:08:27.920
And<00:08:26.860><c> you</c><00:08:26.899><c> think,</c><00:08:27.160><c> well,</c><00:08:27.480><c> wait</c><00:08:27.639><c> a</c><00:08:27.740><c> minute.</c>

00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:29.759
That's<00:08:28.579><c> not</c><00:08:28.800><c> the</c><00:08:28.959><c> Nile.</c>

00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:35.039
The<00:08:31.079><c> Nile</c><00:08:31.560><c> isn't</c><00:08:31.920><c> from,</c><00:08:32.960><c> you</c><00:08:33.059><c> know,</c><00:08:33.279><c> the</c><00:08:33.399><c> Red</c><00:08:33.620><c> Sea</c><00:08:33.779><c> starts</c><00:08:34.000><c> here.</c>

00:08:35.059 --> 00:08:37.120
And<00:08:35.500><c> so</c><00:08:35.940><c> let's</c><00:08:36.159><c> just</c><00:08:36.360><c> take</c><00:08:36.519><c> a</c><00:08:36.580><c> look</c><00:08:36.659><c> at</c><00:08:36.820><c> this.</c>

There's<00:08:37.580><c> the</c><00:08:37.679><c> Euphrates</c><00:08:37.960><c> River.</c>

00:08:39.100 --> 00:08:43.100

00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.480
So<00:09:00.860><c> Exodus</c><00:09:01.340><c> 23.</c>

00:09:04.139 --> 00:09:05.399
There<00:09:04.200><c> we</c><00:09:04.360><c> go.</c>

Let's<00:09:06.259><c> take</c><00:09:06.460><c> a</c><00:09:06.480><c> look</c><00:09:06.600><c> at</c><00:09:06.720><c> verse</c><00:09:06.879><c> 31.</c>

00:09:08.139 --> 00:09:09.899

00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.200
So<00:11:12.820><c> this</c><00:11:13.000><c> was</c><00:11:13.159><c> that</c><00:11:13.440><c> same</c><00:11:13.639><c> land</c><00:11:13.899><c> promised</c><00:11:14.220><c> to</c><00:11:14.440><c> Abraham.</c>

00:11:15.419 --> 00:11:18.740
So<00:11:15.860><c> I</c><00:11:16.299><c> think</c><00:11:16.480><c> this</c><00:11:16.840><c> fits</c><00:11:17.039><c> for</c><00:11:17.240><c> us</c><00:11:17.360><c> to</c><00:11:17.559><c> say</c><00:11:17.700><c> that</c><00:11:17.820><c> it's</c><00:11:18.139><c> probably</c><00:11:18.519><c> the</c>

00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:22.000
Now<00:11:20.080><c> I</c><00:11:20.539><c> think</c><00:11:20.679><c> we</c><00:11:20.799><c> can</c><00:11:20.980><c> reinforce</c><00:11:21.360><c> that</c><00:11:21.700><c> further.</c>

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:23.259

00:11:23.539 --> 00:11:24.559

00:11:27.139 --> 00:11:29.580
Moses<00:11:27.320><c> just</c><00:11:27.639><c> says</c><00:11:28.019><c> the</c><00:11:28.500><c> same</c><00:11:28.679><c> thing.</c>

00:11:30.379 --> 00:11:36.500

00:11:38.779 --> 00:11:41.480
But<00:11:39.220><c> I</c><00:11:39.580><c> want</c><00:11:39.700><c> us</c><00:11:39.879><c> to</c><00:11:40.059><c> notice</c><00:11:40.360><c> specifically</c><00:11:40.860><c> how</c><00:11:41.039><c> this</c><00:11:41.240><c> is</c>

Now<00:12:36.480><c> generally</c><00:12:36.740><c> if</c><00:12:36.879><c> something's</c><00:12:37.240><c> called</c><00:12:37.399><c> the</c><00:12:37.539><c> brook</c><00:12:37.679><c> of</c><00:12:37.820><c> Egypt,</c>

00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.259
that<00:12:38.259><c> would</c><00:12:38.519><c> probably</c><00:12:38.879><c> mean</c><00:12:39.100><c> that</c><00:12:39.279><c> it's</c><00:12:40.159><c> in</c><00:12:40.419><c> Egypt.</c>

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:43.620
That<00:12:42.100><c> at</c><00:12:42.200><c> least</c><00:12:42.320><c> would</c><00:12:42.460><c> be</c><00:12:42.539><c> what</c><00:12:42.659><c> I</c><00:12:42.759><c> would</c><00:12:42.899><c> think.</c>

00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:46.600
And<00:12:44.080><c> so</c><00:12:44.399><c> I</c><00:12:44.620><c> think</c><00:12:44.799><c> we</c><00:12:44.919><c> can</c><00:12:45.059><c> say</c><00:12:45.259><c> that</c><00:12:45.519><c> this</c><00:12:45.799><c> is</c><00:12:46.120><c> most</c><00:12:46.340><c> likely</c>

00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:47.039
the<00:12:46.820><c> border.</c>

00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.059
Here's<00:12:47.820><c> why</c><00:12:47.960><c> this</c><00:12:48.100><c> matters.</c>

00:12:49.419 --> 00:12:50.379
Here's<00:12:49.580><c> why</c><00:12:49.679><c> this</c><00:12:49.840><c> is</c><00:12:50.059><c> important.</c>

00:12:50.659 --> 00:12:52.960
I<00:12:50.740><c> think</c><00:12:50.860><c> it</c><00:12:51.059><c> helps</c><00:12:51.200><c> us</c><00:12:51.500><c> establish</c><00:12:51.980><c> the</c><00:12:52.340><c> Red</c><00:12:52.600><c> Sea,</c>

00:12:53.220 --> 00:12:56.860
Mediterranean<00:12:53.620><c> Sea,</c><00:12:54.299><c> and</c><00:12:54.399><c> the</c><00:12:54.539><c> Euphrates</c><00:12:54.840><c> River</c><00:12:55.379><c> as</c><00:12:56.200><c> really</c><00:12:56.600><c> kind</c>

00:12:56.860 --> 00:13:00.080
of<00:12:56.940><c> the</c><00:12:57.179><c> triangular</c><00:12:57.679><c> border</c><00:12:58.080><c> of</c><00:12:58.460><c> the</c><00:12:58.639><c> land</c><00:12:58.799><c> that</c><00:12:58.919><c> was</c><00:12:59.080><c> promised.</c>

00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.220
Now,<00:13:01.320><c> when</c><00:13:01.500><c> we</c><00:13:01.639><c> can</c><00:13:01.779><c> get</c><00:13:01.919><c> that</c><00:13:02.120><c> in</c><00:13:02.259><c> our</c><00:13:02.419><c> minds,</c>

00:13:03.539 --> 00:13:05.679
just<00:13:03.759><c> take</c><00:13:03.960><c> a</c><00:13:04.059><c> look</c><00:13:04.159><c> at</c><00:13:04.259><c> how</c><00:13:04.399><c> this</c><00:13:04.600><c> makes</c><00:13:04.779><c> some</c><00:13:05.019><c> things</c><00:13:05.159><c> fit</c><00:13:05.340><c> together.</c>

00:13:05.940 --> 00:13:08.059
Come<00:13:06.080><c> over</c><00:13:06.279><c> with</c><00:13:06.419><c> me</c><00:13:06.559><c> to</c><00:13:06.700><c> Psalm</c><00:13:06.919><c> 72.</c>

00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.580
The<00:13:08.440><c> Lord</c><00:13:08.659><c> Jesus</c><00:13:09.159><c> is</c><00:13:09.620><c> going</c><00:13:09.799><c> to</c><00:13:09.919><c> reign</c><00:13:10.039><c> over</c><00:13:10.220><c> that</c><00:13:10.399><c> same</c>

territory,<00:13:11.159><c> right?</c>

00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:13.879
He's<00:13:11.840><c> the</c><00:13:12.019><c> seed</c><00:13:12.360><c> that</c><00:13:12.740><c> was</c><00:13:12.980><c> promised</c><00:13:13.320><c> to</c><00:13:13.580><c> Abraham.</c>

00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:15.919
And<00:13:14.419><c> so</c><00:13:14.559><c> he's</c><00:13:14.820><c> going</c><00:13:14.980><c> to</c><00:13:15.139><c> get</c><00:13:15.279><c> that</c><00:13:15.500><c> inheritance.</c>

00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:18.879
So<00:13:16.440><c> if</c><00:13:16.559><c> you</c><00:13:16.639><c> come</c><00:13:16.840><c> to</c><00:13:16.940><c> Psalm</c><00:13:17.159><c> 72,</c>

It's<00:14:43.860><c> going</c><00:14:43.940><c> to</c><00:14:44.080><c> be</c><00:14:44.200><c> really</c><00:14:44.639><c> what</c><00:14:45.340><c> I</c><00:14:45.480><c> like</c><00:14:45.659><c> to</c><00:14:45.820><c> call</c>

00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:01.039
Zechariah<00:14:56.639><c> chapter</c><00:14:56.879><c> 9.</c>

00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.100
Zechariah<00:15:03.240><c> 9</c><00:15:03.500><c> and</c><00:15:03.600><c> verse</c><00:15:03.820><c> 10.</c>

00:15:05.100 --> 00:15:09.100
It<00:15:05.879><c> says</c><00:15:06.139><c> there,</c><00:15:07.159><c> Zechariah</c><00:15:07.500><c> 9,</c><00:15:07.840><c> 10,</c>

00:15:09.100 --> 00:15:12.200
and<00:15:09.980><c> I</c><00:15:09.980><c> will</c><00:15:10.279><c> cut</c><00:15:10.500><c> off</c><00:15:10.740><c> the</c><00:15:10.980><c> chariot</c><00:15:11.259><c> from</c><00:15:11.460><c> Ephraim</c>

00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:13.659
and<00:15:12.580><c> the</c><00:15:12.799><c> horse</c><00:15:12.960><c> from</c><00:15:13.159><c> Jerusalem</c>

00:15:13.659 --> 00:15:15.220
and<00:15:13.820><c> the</c><00:15:14.019><c> battle</c><00:15:14.259><c>-bow</c><00:15:14.379><c> shall</c><00:15:14.519><c> be</c><00:15:14.720><c> cut</c><00:15:14.899><c> off</c>

00:15:15.220 --> 00:15:17.399
and<00:15:15.500><c> he</c><00:15:15.700><c> shall</c><00:15:15.840><c> speak</c><00:15:16.059><c> peace</c><00:15:16.460><c> unto</c><00:15:16.659><c> the</c><00:15:16.879><c> heathen</c>

00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.080
and<00:15:17.679><c> his</c><00:15:17.840><c> dominion</c><00:15:18.299><c> shall</c><00:15:18.460><c> be</c><00:15:18.639><c> from</c><00:15:18.899><c> sea</c><00:15:19.279><c> even</c><00:15:19.500><c> to</c><00:15:19.759><c> sea</c>

00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.840
and<00:15:20.460><c> from</c><00:15:20.659><c> the</c><00:15:20.860><c> river</c><00:15:21.259><c> even</c><00:15:22.019><c> to</c><00:15:22.200><c> the</c><00:15:22.340><c> ends</c><00:15:22.460><c> of</c><00:15:22.620><c> the</c><00:15:22.720><c> earth.</c>

00:15:22.860 --> 00:15:25.500
So<00:15:23.259><c> again,</c><00:15:23.440><c> it's</c><00:15:23.639><c> that</c><00:15:23.779><c> same</c><00:15:23.960><c> thing</c><00:15:24.279><c> from</c><00:15:24.919><c> Red</c><00:15:25.299><c> Sea</c>

00:15:25.500 --> 00:15:27.840

00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.159
and<00:15:28.399><c> then</c><00:15:28.580><c> from</c><00:15:28.759><c> there</c><00:15:29.059><c> the</c><00:15:29.320><c> world.</c>

00:15:30.460 --> 00:15:33.100
So<00:15:30.639><c> this</c><00:15:30.820><c> is</c><00:15:31.080><c> the</c><00:15:31.299><c> area</c><00:15:31.600><c> that</c><00:15:31.779><c> the</c><00:15:31.899><c> Lord</c><00:15:32.080><c> Jesus</c><00:15:32.440><c> rules</c><00:15:32.759><c> over.</c>

00:15:33.100 --> 00:15:35.340
This<00:15:33.580><c> is</c><00:15:34.019><c> really</c><00:15:34.899><c> Judah.</c>

00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.820
This<00:15:36.019><c> is</c><00:15:36.240><c> that</c><00:15:36.700><c> territory.</c>

00:15:38.340 --> 00:15:41.940
Now,<00:15:38.779><c> here's</c><00:15:39.179><c> why</c><00:15:39.480><c> I</c><00:15:39.620><c> think</c><00:15:39.860><c> this</c><00:15:40.399><c> helps</c><00:15:40.740><c> us.</c>

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.039
As<00:15:42.379><c> we</c><00:15:42.580><c> start</c><00:15:42.700><c> to</c><00:15:42.860><c> look</c><00:15:42.960><c> more</c><00:15:43.139><c> at</c><00:15:43.259><c> these</c><00:15:43.480><c> prophecies,</c>

00:15:44.179 --> 00:15:47.559
what<00:15:44.320><c> we're</c><00:15:44.500><c> going</c><00:15:44.639><c> to</c><00:15:44.860><c> see</c><00:15:45.220><c> is</c><00:15:45.940><c> that</c><00:15:46.559><c> the</c><00:15:46.779><c> second</c><00:15:47.019><c> Exodus</c>

00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:51.580
has<00:15:48.519><c> huge</c><00:15:49.120><c> parallels</c><00:15:49.720><c> and</c><00:15:50.039><c> connections</c><00:15:50.399><c> to</c><00:15:50.580><c> the</c><00:15:50.759><c> first.</c>

00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:53.960
It's<00:15:52.620><c> over</c><00:15:53.019><c> and</c><00:15:53.100><c> over</c><00:15:53.399><c> and</c><00:15:53.519><c> over.</c>

00:15:54.179 --> 00:15:55.559
We<00:15:54.600><c> see</c><00:15:54.820><c> all</c><00:15:55.059><c> these</c><00:15:55.259><c> connections.</c>

00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:59.580
In<00:15:55.720><c> fact,</c><00:15:56.019><c> let's</c><00:15:57.100><c> turn</c><00:15:57.399><c> to</c><00:15:57.759><c> Micah</c><00:15:58.139><c> chapter</c><00:15:58.419><c> 7.</c>

00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.740
God<00:16:00.779><c> actually</c><00:16:01.159><c> says</c><00:16:01.740><c> that</c><00:16:02.460><c> there</c><00:16:02.799><c> would</c><00:16:03.000><c> be</c><00:16:03.159><c> these</c><00:16:03.440><c> parallels.</c>

00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:13.480
that<00:16:11.279><c> God</c><00:16:11.779><c> is</c><00:16:12.080><c> doing</c><00:16:12.299><c> with</c><00:16:12.940><c> his</c><00:16:13.120><c> people</c>

00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:16.259
the<00:16:13.779><c> same</c><00:16:14.039><c> thing</c><00:16:14.240><c> that</c><00:16:14.340><c> he</c><00:16:14.440><c> had</c><00:16:14.539><c> done</c><00:16:14.679><c> in</c><00:16:14.840><c> the</c><00:16:14.940><c> first</c><00:16:15.139><c> Exodus.</c>

00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.200

00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:20.519
It<00:16:19.559><c> says,</c>

00:16:21.539 --> 00:16:23.299
According<00:16:21.539><c> to</c><00:16:21.759><c> the</c><00:16:21.960><c> days</c><00:16:22.179><c> of</c><00:16:22.360><c> thy</c><00:16:22.519><c> coming</c><00:16:22.840><c> out</c><00:16:22.980><c> of</c><00:16:23.059><c> the</c><00:16:23.139><c> land</c>

00:16:23.299 --> 00:16:23.840
of<00:16:23.480><c> Egypt,</c>

00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:26.720
will<00:16:24.299><c> I</c><00:16:24.460><c> show</c><00:16:24.639><c> unto</c><00:16:24.820><c> him</c><00:16:25.019><c> marvelous</c><00:16:25.500><c> things.</c>

00:16:26.779 --> 00:16:28.879
And<00:16:27.220><c> if</c><00:16:27.559><c> you</c><00:16:27.679><c> just</c><00:16:27.840><c> look</c><00:16:27.960><c> at</c><00:16:28.059><c> the</c><00:16:28.220><c> context</c><00:16:28.580><c> there,</c>

00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:32.899
it's<00:16:29.399><c> about</c><00:16:29.899><c> the</c><00:16:30.340><c> regathering</c><00:16:31.379><c> of</c><00:16:31.580><c> God's</c><00:16:31.940><c> people.</c>

00:16:32.940 --> 00:16:34.440
And<00:16:32.980><c> it's</c><00:16:33.200><c> according</c><00:16:33.460><c> to</c><00:16:33.620><c> the</c><00:16:33.779><c> days</c><00:16:33.940><c> when</c><00:16:34.080><c> they</c><00:16:34.200><c> were</c><00:16:34.340><c> brought</c>

00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:37.700
It's<00:16:36.039><c> the</c><00:16:36.179><c> same</c><00:16:36.360><c> kind</c><00:16:36.519><c> of</c><00:16:36.679><c> thing.</c>

00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:39.279
The<00:16:38.080><c> same</c><00:16:38.299><c> picture.</c>

00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:43.879
Well,<00:16:41.899><c> when</c><00:16:42.080><c> Israel</c><00:16:42.399><c> was</c><00:16:42.580><c> brought</c><00:16:42.720><c> out</c><00:16:42.860><c> of</c><00:16:42.980><c> Egypt,</c>

00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:45.740
they<00:16:44.340><c> had</c><00:16:44.460><c> a</c><00:16:44.580><c> major</c><00:16:44.759><c> goal.</c>

00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:48.220
Get<00:16:46.700><c> to</c><00:16:46.840><c> the</c><00:16:47.019><c> promised</c><00:16:47.240><c> land.</c>

00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.360
And<00:16:49.440><c> yet,</c><00:16:49.740><c> before</c><00:16:50.120><c> they</c><00:16:50.259><c> could</c><00:16:50.419><c> get</c><00:16:50.519><c> to</c><00:16:50.639><c> the</c><00:16:50.820><c> promised</c><00:16:51.059><c> land,</c>

00:16:51.460 --> 00:16:54.879
they<00:16:51.580><c> had</c><00:16:51.879><c> to</c><00:16:53.019><c> wander</c><00:16:53.379><c> for</c><00:16:53.980><c> 40</c><00:16:54.200><c> years.</c>

00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:59.620
But<00:16:55.720><c> there</c><00:16:55.899><c> was</c><00:16:56.120><c> one</c><00:16:56.639><c> major,</c><00:16:57.639><c> huge</c><00:16:57.840><c> event</c><00:16:58.179><c> that</c><00:16:58.399><c> had</c><00:16:58.539><c> to</c><00:16:58.720><c> take</c><00:16:58.899><c> place</c>

00:16:59.620 --> 00:17:02.419
before<00:17:00.340><c> they</c><00:17:01.600><c> went</c><00:17:01.700><c> into</c><00:17:01.879><c> the</c><00:17:02.039><c> wilderness.</c>

00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:04.259
Before<00:17:02.940><c> they</c><00:17:03.100><c> met</c><00:17:03.220><c> with</c><00:17:03.419><c> God</c><00:17:03.519><c> at</c><00:17:03.679><c> Mount</c><00:17:03.879><c> Sinai.</c>

00:17:04.539 --> 00:17:06.720
What<00:17:04.660><c> was</c><00:17:04.880><c> it?</c>

00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:08.420
Passover.

00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:13.720
Right<00:17:08.799><c> after</c><00:17:09.079><c> that,</c><00:17:09.740><c> they</c><00:17:09.819><c> had</c><00:17:10.039><c> to</c><00:17:11.880><c> cross</c><00:17:12.720><c> the</c><00:17:12.980><c> sea.</c>

00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.000
And<00:17:15.279><c> here's</c><00:17:15.720><c> what's</c><00:17:15.880><c> really</c><00:17:16.059><c> interesting.</c>

00:17:23.220 --> 00:17:25.740
You<00:17:23.660><c> see</c><00:17:24.099><c> the</c><00:17:24.579><c> Red</c><00:17:24.799><c> Sea.</c>

00:17:26.619 --> 00:17:28.599
And<00:17:26.799><c> you</c><00:17:26.920><c> see</c><00:17:27.099><c> the</c><00:17:27.220><c> Euphrates</c><00:17:27.559><c> River.</c>

00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:32.000

00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.380
And<00:17:32.680><c> what</c><00:17:32.759><c> I'm</c><00:17:32.880><c> going</c><00:17:33.039><c> to</c><00:17:33.119><c> put</c><00:17:33.279><c> to</c><00:17:33.440><c> you</c><00:17:33.759><c> is</c><00:17:34.039><c> that</c><00:17:34.299><c> following</c><00:17:34.559><c> the</c><00:17:34.799><c> same</c><00:17:34.980><c> pattern</c><00:17:35.220><c> of</c>

00:17:35.380 --> 00:17:36.599
the<00:17:35.480><c> first</c><00:17:35.700><c> Exodus,</c>

00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.680
we're<00:17:37.059><c> actually</c><00:17:37.299><c> going</c><00:17:37.500><c> to</c><00:17:37.700><c> see</c><00:17:37.859><c> them</c><00:17:39.119><c> pass</c><00:17:39.500><c> through</c><00:17:39.680><c> the</c><00:17:39.839><c> water.</c>

00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:42.599
Just<00:17:41.319><c> as</c><00:17:41.460><c> they</c><00:17:41.559><c> did</c><00:17:41.720><c> before.</c>

00:17:43.259 --> 00:17:44.839
Now,<00:17:43.779><c> that</c><00:17:43.940><c> might</c><00:17:44.119><c> sound</c><00:17:44.259><c> a</c><00:17:44.319><c> little</c><00:17:44.519><c> odd,</c>

00:17:45.019 --> 00:17:47.579
but<00:17:45.140><c> if</c><00:17:45.279><c> you</c><00:17:45.440><c> start</c><00:17:45.559><c> looking</c><00:17:45.900><c> at</c><00:17:46.440><c> some</c><00:17:46.720><c> of</c><00:17:46.799><c> these</c><00:17:47.039><c> prophecies,</c>

00:17:48.059 --> 00:17:49.640
this<00:17:48.319><c> exact</c><00:17:48.680><c> thing</c><00:17:48.839><c> is</c><00:17:49.019><c> indicated</c><00:17:49.299><c> to</c><00:17:49.519><c> us.</c>

00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:51.900
And<00:17:49.740><c> it's</c><00:17:49.900><c> not</c><00:17:50.019><c> just</c><00:17:50.240><c> told</c><00:17:50.420><c> us,</c><00:17:51.380><c> you</c><00:17:51.400><c> know,</c>

00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:55.220
It's<00:17:54.640><c> very</c><00:17:54.900><c> plain.</c>

00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:57.099
So<00:17:55.680><c> just</c><00:17:55.880><c> come</c><00:17:56.059><c> over</c><00:17:56.259><c> to</c><00:17:56.420><c> Isaiah</c><00:17:56.700><c> 11.</c>

00:17:57.380 --> 00:17:59.099
God<00:17:57.539><c> is</c><00:17:57.680><c> very</c><00:17:57.900><c> straightforward,</c><00:17:58.480><c> in</c><00:17:58.599><c> fact,</c><00:17:58.759><c> when</c><00:17:58.859><c> he</c><00:17:58.960><c> tells</c>

Why<00:19:08.519><c> would</c><00:19:08.660><c> God</c><00:19:08.819><c> do</c><00:19:09.039><c> that?</c>

00:19:09.660 --> 00:19:14.079

00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:37.180
I<00:20:35.460><c> think</c><00:20:35.619><c> that's</c><00:20:35.799><c> what</c><00:20:35.920><c> God's</c><00:20:36.180><c> doing</c><00:20:36.319><c> again.</c>

00:20:37.380 --> 00:20:39.160

00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:45.960

00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:50.460
They<00:20:48.319><c> walked</c><00:20:48.640><c> through</c><00:20:49.119><c> the</c><00:20:49.440><c> water,</c>

00:20:51.660 --> 00:20:53.359

00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:55.579
And<00:20:54.039><c> so</c><00:20:54.140><c> as</c><00:20:54.299><c> they</c><00:20:54.440><c> do</c><00:20:54.599><c> that,</c>

00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:20.799

00:23:08.740 --> 00:23:11.079

00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:26.400
these<00:23:24.940><c> bodies</c><00:23:25.220><c> of</c><00:23:25.440><c> water,</c><00:23:25.660><c> being</c><00:23:25.920><c> baptized</c>

00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:28.480
just<00:23:26.700><c> as</c><00:23:26.880><c> their</c><00:23:27.079><c> ancestors</c><00:23:27.440><c> were,</c>

00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:30.920

And<00:23:33.000><c> I</c><00:23:33.619><c> think</c><00:23:33.779><c> based</c><00:23:34.119><c> off</c><00:23:34.440><c> of</c><00:23:34.599><c> what</c><00:23:34.740><c> we've</c><00:23:35.039><c> seen,</c>

00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:37.400
that<00:23:36.779><c> perhaps</c>

00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:39.660

00:23:40.019 --> 00:23:41.039
I<00:23:40.180><c> don't</c><00:23:40.359><c> think</c><00:23:40.440><c> we</c><00:23:40.559><c> can</c><00:23:40.720><c> say</c><00:23:40.859><c> that</c>

00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:42.960
for<00:23:41.319><c> certain,</c><00:23:42.059><c> but</c><00:23:42.180><c> I</c><00:23:42.259><c> think</c><00:23:42.519><c> paralleling</c>

00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:45.000
the<00:23:43.140><c> first</c><00:23:43.359><c> Exodus,</c><00:23:44.099><c> it</c><00:23:44.220><c> was</c><00:23:44.339><c> 40</c><00:23:44.579><c> years.</c>

00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:47.380
It<00:23:45.579><c> makes</c><00:23:45.720><c> sense</c><00:23:45.960><c> to</c><00:23:46.119><c> me</c><00:23:46.279><c> that</c><00:23:46.380><c> it</c><00:23:46.519><c> would</c><00:23:46.640><c> be</c>

00:23:47.380 --> 00:23:49.099
40<00:23:47.619><c> years,</c><00:23:47.920><c> and</c><00:23:48.059><c> that</c><00:23:48.240><c> fits</c><00:23:48.400><c> nicely</c><00:23:48.740><c> in</c><00:23:48.920><c> our</c>

00:23:49.099 --> 00:23:50.839
50<00:23:49.319><c> year</c><00:23:49.519><c> Jubilee</c><00:23:49.900><c> period.</c>

00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:53.059
As<00:23:52.700><c> well,</c>

00:23:53.339 --> 00:23:55.740
this<00:23:53.660><c> is</c><00:23:53.900><c> another</c><00:23:54.099><c> interesting</c><00:23:54.519><c> thing</c><00:23:54.700><c> to</c><00:23:54.980><c> consider,</c>

00:23:55.779 --> 00:23:57.420
in<00:23:55.920><c> Isaiah</c><00:23:56.220><c> chapter</c><00:23:56.539><c> 8,</c>

00:23:58.140 --> 00:23:58.900
God<00:23:58.380><c> says,</c>

00:23:58.900 --> 00:24:01.319
I<00:23:59.599><c> will</c><00:23:59.819><c> create</c><00:24:00.180><c> a</c><00:24:00.579><c> stone</c><00:24:00.759><c> of</c><00:24:01.019><c> stumbling</c>

00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:02.299
and<00:24:01.519><c> a</c><00:24:01.640><c> rock</c><00:24:01.799><c> of</c><00:24:02.000><c> offense.</c>

00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:04.740
You<00:24:02.779><c> might</c><00:24:02.920><c> remember</c><00:24:03.180><c> that</c><00:24:03.380><c> prophecy.</c><00:24:03.839><c> The</c><00:24:03.920><c> Lord</c><00:24:04.019><c> Jesus</c>

00:24:04.740 --> 00:24:07.319
quotes<00:24:05.440><c> it</c><00:24:05.859><c> a</c><00:24:05.900><c> number</c><00:24:06.079><c> of</c><00:24:06.279><c> times</c><00:24:06.420><c> when</c><00:24:06.559><c> he</c><00:24:06.599><c> talks</c><00:24:06.859><c> about</c>

00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:09.059
when<00:24:07.460><c> he's</c><00:24:07.880><c> speaking</c><00:24:08.180><c> to</c><00:24:08.460><c> the</c><00:24:08.839><c> Jewish</c>

00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:13.000
of<00:24:11.299><c> offense.</c><00:24:12.000><c> And</c><00:24:12.220><c> what</c><00:24:12.319><c> comes</c><00:24:12.559><c> after</c><00:24:12.819><c> that</c>

00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.019
is<00:24:13.140><c> it</c><00:24:13.319><c> says,</c><00:24:13.680><c> he'll</c><00:24:13.880><c> be</c><00:24:14.019><c> a</c><00:24:14.200><c> stone</c><00:24:14.319><c> of</c><00:24:14.500><c> stumbling</c><00:24:14.700><c> and</c><00:24:14.880><c> a</c><00:24:14.980><c> rock</c>

00:24:15.019 --> 00:24:17.299
of<00:24:15.220><c> offense</c><00:24:15.599><c> to</c>

00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.539
both<00:24:17.799><c> the</c><00:24:18.240><c> houses</c><00:24:18.440><c> of</c><00:24:18.660><c> Israel.</c>

00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:20.960
Now<00:24:20.339><c> when</c><00:24:20.460><c> Jesus</c><00:24:20.740><c> came</c>

00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:22.759
the<00:24:21.119><c> first</c><00:24:21.359><c> time,</c>

00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:25.619
were<00:24:23.380><c> both</c><00:24:23.599><c> houses</c><00:24:23.900><c> of</c><00:24:24.119><c> Israel</c><00:24:24.400><c> in</c><00:24:24.660><c> existence?</c>

00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:27.019
And<00:24:26.440><c> I</c><00:24:26.500><c> would</c><00:24:26.680><c> suggest</c>

00:24:27.019 --> 00:24:28.680
to<00:24:27.119><c> you,</c><00:24:28.400><c> no.</c>

00:24:28.940 --> 00:24:31.460
Not<00:24:29.240><c> really.</c><00:24:30.059><c> It</c><00:24:30.140><c> was</c><00:24:30.319><c> mostly</c><00:24:30.640><c> Judah.</c>

00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:33.700
They<00:24:31.859><c> were</c><00:24:32.000><c> the</c><00:24:32.079><c> only</c><00:24:32.240><c> ones</c><00:24:32.420><c> who</c><00:24:32.500><c> had</c><00:24:32.599><c> come</c><00:24:32.740><c> back.</c>

00:24:34.579 --> 00:24:35.140
And<00:24:34.660><c> so</c>

00:24:35.140 --> 00:24:37.579
Jesus<00:24:35.460><c> was</c><00:24:35.700><c> a</c><00:24:35.839><c> stone</c><00:24:36.000><c> of</c><00:24:36.119><c> stumbling</c><00:24:36.420><c> to</c><00:24:36.720><c> them</c>

00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:39.079
and<00:24:38.640><c> it</c><00:24:38.920><c> was</c>

00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:40.980
for<00:24:39.240><c> about</c><00:24:39.980><c> 40</c><00:24:40.380><c> years.</c>

00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:42.819
From<00:24:41.559><c> about</c><00:24:41.779><c> 8030</c>

00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:45.019
to<00:24:43.039><c> 8070,</c><00:24:43.740><c> until</c><00:24:44.039><c> the</c><00:24:44.579><c> Jewish</c><00:24:44.799><c> state</c>

00:24:45.019 --> 00:24:47.640
was<00:24:45.220><c> really</c><00:24:45.640><c> wiped</c><00:24:45.819><c> out,</c><00:24:46.359><c> more</c><00:24:46.599><c> or</c><00:24:46.720><c> less.</c>

00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:49.099
About<00:24:47.880><c> 40</c><00:24:48.119><c> years.</c>

00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:50.660
And<00:24:49.440><c> so</c><00:24:49.579><c> now</c><00:24:49.759><c> Israel's</c><00:24:50.339><c> time</c>

00:24:50.660 --> 00:24:53.799
for<00:24:51.299><c> the</c><00:24:51.440><c> Lord</c><00:24:51.599><c> Jesus</c><00:24:51.900><c> to</c><00:24:52.059><c> be</c><00:24:52.180><c> a</c><00:24:52.299><c> stone</c><00:24:52.420><c> of</c><00:24:52.559><c> stumbling</c><00:24:52.779><c> to</c><00:24:52.980><c> them,</c>

00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:55.140
perhaps<00:24:54.319><c> we'll</c><00:24:54.619><c> parallel</c><00:24:54.839><c> that</c>

00:24:55.140 --> 00:24:56.960
with<00:24:55.299><c> another</c><00:24:55.579><c> 40</c><00:24:55.839><c> year</c><00:24:56.000><c> period.</c>

00:24:56.980 --> 00:24:59.059
It's<00:24:57.160><c> something</c><00:24:57.319><c> to</c><00:24:57.480><c> think</c><00:24:57.640><c> about.</c><00:24:58.259><c> I'm</c><00:24:58.500><c> not</c><00:24:58.599><c> going</c><00:24:58.740><c> to</c><00:24:58.759><c> get</c><00:24:58.880><c> mad</c>

00:24:59.059 --> 00:25:00.079
if<00:24:59.200><c> you</c><00:24:59.319><c> disagree</c><00:24:59.599><c> with</c><00:24:59.799><c> that.</c>

00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.220
But<00:25:00.519><c> I</c><00:25:01.140><c> think</c><00:25:01.299><c> it's</c><00:25:01.500><c> something</c><00:25:01.680><c> to</c><00:25:01.839><c> consider.</c>

00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:03.980
Probably<00:25:02.599><c> a</c><00:25:02.740><c> 40</c><00:25:02.940><c> year</c><00:25:03.119><c> period.</c>

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:07.099
Here's<00:25:05.000><c> what</c><00:25:05.140><c> I</c><00:25:05.240><c> think</c><00:25:05.319><c> is</c><00:25:05.480><c> really</c><00:25:05.740><c> important</c><00:25:06.099><c> though.</c>

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:09.759
As<00:25:08.240><c> we</c><00:25:08.420><c> look</c><00:25:08.519><c> at</c><00:25:08.720><c> this,</c>

00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:11.259
this<00:25:10.819><c> wilderness</c>

00:25:11.259 --> 00:25:12.839
wandering<00:25:11.720><c> is</c><00:25:12.099><c> going</c><00:25:12.279><c> to</c><00:25:12.519><c> be</c>

00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:15.480
a<00:25:13.180><c> time</c><00:25:13.500><c> of</c><00:25:14.019><c> trial</c><00:25:14.299><c> and</c><00:25:14.619><c> testing</c><00:25:14.900><c> for</c><00:25:15.140><c> them.</c>

00:25:15.900 --> 00:25:17.099
And<00:25:16.079><c> I</c><00:25:16.119><c> think</c><00:25:16.220><c> it's</c><00:25:16.400><c> helpful</c><00:25:16.700><c> for</c><00:25:16.920><c> us</c>

00:25:17.099 --> 00:25:19.299
to<00:25:17.259><c> really</c><00:25:17.500><c> think</c><00:25:17.680><c> about</c><00:25:17.900><c> this.</c><00:25:18.200><c> Because</c><00:25:18.480><c> we're</c><00:25:18.680><c> going</c><00:25:18.819><c> to</c>

00:25:19.299 --> 00:25:20.579
realize<00:25:19.759><c> that</c>

00:25:20.579 --> 00:25:22.599
as<00:25:21.059><c> they</c><00:25:21.220><c> go</c><00:25:21.380><c> through</c><00:25:21.539><c> this</c><00:25:21.720><c> wilderness</c><00:25:22.099><c> and</c><00:25:22.299><c> the</c><00:25:22.460><c> things</c>

00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:23.460
that<00:25:22.759><c> they're</c><00:25:22.900><c> dealing</c><00:25:23.160><c> with,</c>

00:25:23.460 --> 00:25:25.380
they<00:25:24.000><c> don't</c><00:25:24.140><c> just</c><00:25:24.400><c> parallel</c><00:25:24.599><c> the</c><00:25:24.779><c> first</c><00:25:25.039><c> Exodus,</c>

00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:27.599
but<00:25:26.039><c> they</c><00:25:26.259><c> very</c><00:25:26.400><c> much</c><00:25:26.619><c> parallel</c>

00:25:27.619 --> 00:25:29.160
what<00:25:28.059><c> we're</c><00:25:28.339><c> going</c><00:25:28.500><c> through.</c>

00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:30.940
Remember,<00:25:29.859><c> God</c><00:25:30.079><c> is</c><00:25:30.359><c> preparing</c><00:25:30.680><c> them,</c>

00:25:30.940 --> 00:25:33.859
we<00:25:31.119><c> talked</c><00:25:31.319><c> about</c><00:25:31.480><c> this</c><00:25:31.640><c> yesterday,</c><00:25:32.180><c> that</c><00:25:32.359><c> he's</c><00:25:32.680><c> working</c><00:25:32.980><c> with</c><00:25:33.200><c> us</c><00:25:33.380><c> today</c>

00:25:33.859 --> 00:25:36.380
so<00:25:34.559><c> that</c><00:25:34.700><c> we'll</c><00:25:34.920><c> be</c><00:25:35.079><c> ready</c><00:25:35.259><c> for</c><00:25:35.420><c> the</c><00:25:35.559><c> kingdom.</c>

00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:37.500
That's<00:25:36.940><c> the</c><00:25:37.019><c> whole</c><00:25:37.180><c> goal.</c>

00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:39.819
And<00:25:37.960><c> what</c><00:25:38.099><c> he's</c><00:25:38.339><c> doing</c><00:25:38.480><c> with</c><00:25:38.640><c> them</c><00:25:38.799><c> for</c><00:25:38.960><c> these</c><00:25:39.140><c> 40</c><00:25:39.339><c> years</c>

00:25:39.819 --> 00:25:41.500
is<00:25:40.220><c> he's</c><00:25:40.680><c> bringing</c><00:25:40.940><c> them</c><00:25:41.240><c> through</c>

00:25:41.500 --> 00:25:43.119
and<00:25:41.759><c> shaping</c><00:25:42.019><c> them</c><00:25:42.299><c> and</c><00:25:42.440><c> getting</c><00:25:42.599><c> them</c><00:25:42.799><c> ready</c>

00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:44.799
so<00:25:43.519><c> that</c><00:25:43.660><c> they</c><00:25:43.859><c> can</c><00:25:44.099><c> serve</c><00:25:44.339><c> him.</c>

00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:47.599
So<00:25:45.319><c> that</c><00:25:45.400><c> they</c><00:25:45.559><c> can</c><00:25:45.700><c> be</c><00:25:45.900><c> those</c><00:25:46.140><c> servants</c><00:25:46.400><c> that</c><00:25:46.579><c> he</c><00:25:46.720><c> wants.</c>

00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:50.779
And<00:25:48.900><c> so</c><00:25:48.980><c> it's</c><00:25:49.119><c> not</c><00:25:49.240><c> going</c><00:25:49.339><c> to</c><00:25:49.420><c> be</c><00:25:49.539><c> a</c><00:25:49.579><c> fun</c><00:25:49.759><c> time.</c>

00:25:53.779 --> 00:25:55.859
I<00:25:53.960><c> don't</c><00:25:54.079><c> know</c><00:25:54.160><c> if</c><00:25:54.200><c> you've</c><00:25:54.339><c> ever</c><00:25:54.519><c> thought</c><00:25:54.700><c> about</c><00:25:54.880><c> this,</c>

00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:57.480

00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:00.099
I<00:25:57.859><c> think</c><00:25:58.059><c> about</c><00:25:58.240><c> what</c><00:25:58.380><c> it'll</c><00:25:58.599><c> be</c><00:25:58.740><c> like.</c>

00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:04.220
what<00:26:03.039><c> the</c><00:26:03.339><c> Israelites</c><00:26:03.619><c> ate</c>

00:26:04.220 --> 00:26:06.380

00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:09.660
The<00:26:08.940><c> whole</c><00:26:09.140><c> time,</c>

00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:11.220

00:26:11.460 --> 00:26:13.359
they<00:26:11.619><c> ate</c><00:26:12.079><c> manna.</c>

00:26:13.460 --> 00:26:14.920
Can<00:26:13.640><c> you</c><00:26:13.759><c> imagine</c><00:26:14.000><c> that?</c>

00:26:15.380 --> 00:26:17.380
Can<00:26:15.539><c> you</c><00:26:15.680><c> imagine</c><00:26:15.900><c> waking</c><00:26:16.140><c> up</c><00:26:16.380><c> in</c><00:26:16.440><c> the</c><00:26:16.559><c> morning</c><00:26:16.819><c> and</c><00:26:17.039><c> thinking,</c>

00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:21.180
So,<00:26:19.140><c> you</c><00:26:19.279><c> know,</c><00:26:19.700><c> this</c><00:26:19.960><c> would</c><00:26:20.099><c> be</c><00:26:20.200><c> really</c><00:26:20.420><c> hard.</c>

This,<00:27:53.619><c> it's</c>

00:27:54.059 --> 00:27:55.539
going<00:27:54.299><c> to</c><00:27:54.480><c> be</c><00:27:54.660><c> a</c><00:27:54.799><c> very</c><00:27:55.140><c> difficult</c>

that's<00:30:30.259><c> back</c><00:30:30.640><c> in</c><00:30:30.980><c> Leviticus.</c>

00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:33.599
It's<00:30:32.019><c> all</c><00:30:32.160><c> about</c><00:30:32.359><c> the</c><00:30:32.579><c> tithes.</c>

00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:36.039
Let's<00:30:34.039><c> turn</c><00:30:34.240><c> back</c><00:30:34.480><c> there</c><00:30:34.720><c> to</c><00:30:34.839><c> Leviticus</c><00:30:35.220><c> 27</c>

00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:38.000
because<00:30:36.599><c> I</c><00:30:36.779><c> think</c><00:30:37.079><c> that</c><00:30:37.480><c> God</c><00:30:37.619><c> actually</c>

00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:39.920

00:30:40.299 --> 00:30:41.579
we<00:30:40.740><c> could</c><00:30:40.940><c> understand</c>

00:30:41.579 --> 00:30:43.880
how<00:30:42.220><c> difficult</c><00:30:42.640><c> it</c><00:30:42.779><c> will</c><00:30:42.940><c> be</c><00:30:43.299><c> for</c><00:30:43.640><c> his</c>

00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:46.640
people<00:30:44.240><c> when</c><00:30:44.640><c> they</c><00:30:44.839><c> pass</c><00:30:45.119><c> under</c><00:30:45.279><c> the</c><00:30:46.140><c> rod.</c>

00:30:47.420 --> 00:30:47.779
Leviticus

chapter<00:30:48.059><c> 27.</c>

00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:51.880
We're<00:30:51.759><c> going</c>

00:30:55.779 --> 00:30:55.900
So

00:30:55.900 --> 00:30:57.720
think<00:30:56.059><c> about</c><00:30:56.259><c> this</c><00:30:56.460><c> in</c><00:30:56.599><c> relation</c><00:30:56.940><c> to</c><00:30:57.119><c> God's</c><00:30:57.519><c> people</c>

00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:00.400
as<00:30:57.720><c> they</c><00:30:57.960><c> go</c><00:30:58.140><c> through</c><00:30:58.339><c> the</c><00:30:58.480><c> wilderness</c><00:30:58.900><c> and</c><00:30:59.380><c> as</c><00:30:59.680><c> they</c>

00:31:00.500 --> 00:31:02.079
wonder<00:31:00.880><c> what's</c><00:31:01.180><c> going</c><00:31:01.359><c> to</c><00:31:01.480><c> happen</c><00:31:01.660><c> to</c><00:31:01.740><c> them.</c>

00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:40.420
And<00:31:38.839><c> so</c><00:31:38.920><c> that's</c><00:31:39.079><c> how</c><00:31:39.240><c> hard</c><00:31:39.339><c> it's</c><00:31:39.519><c> going</c><00:31:39.619><c> to</c><00:31:39.740><c> be.</c>

And<00:31:41.480><c> yet</c><00:31:41.579><c> I</c><00:31:41.660><c> think</c>

00:31:41.819 --> 00:31:43.819

00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:51.799

And<00:39:26.099><c> yet</c><00:39:26.260><c> God</c><00:39:26.460><c> says</c><00:39:26.699><c> no</c><00:39:26.920><c> more.</c>

00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:31.300
We'll<00:39:29.739><c> be</c><00:39:29.920><c> together</c><00:39:30.159><c> in</c><00:39:30.400><c> faithfulness</c>

00:39:31.300 --> 00:39:33.159
because<00:39:31.860><c> you'll</c><00:39:32.099><c> know</c><00:39:32.260><c> me.</c>

00:39:33.940 --> 00:39:34.980
And<00:39:34.119><c> you</c><00:39:34.219><c> read</c><00:39:34.340><c> through</c><00:39:34.519><c> the</c><00:39:34.719><c> passages</c>

00:39:34.980 --> 00:39:37.780

00:39:37.780 --> 00:39:39.280
about<00:39:38.539><c> this</c><00:39:38.800><c> covenant</c><00:39:39.059><c> that</c>

00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:40.699
God<00:39:39.420><c> makes</c><00:39:39.639><c> with</c><00:39:39.860><c> them</c><00:39:40.039><c> and</c><00:39:40.119><c> he</c><00:39:40.300><c> says</c>

00:39:41.179 --> 00:39:43.199
I'll<00:39:41.659><c> look</c><00:39:41.800><c> at</c><00:39:41.940><c> their</c><00:39:42.119><c> sins</c>

00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:45.280
I'll<00:39:44.000><c> wipe</c><00:39:44.139><c> them</c><00:39:44.360><c> away</c>

00:39:45.420 --> 00:39:47.719
and<00:39:45.900><c> they</c><00:39:46.039><c> won't</c><00:39:46.159><c> even</c><00:39:46.340><c> be</c><00:39:46.579><c> remembered</c><00:39:46.840><c> anymore.</c>

00:39:48.059 --> 00:39:49.679
This<00:39:48.280><c> is</c><00:39:48.420><c> what</c><00:39:48.519><c> we're</c><00:39:48.679><c> looking</c><00:39:48.900><c> at</c><00:39:49.119><c> here.</c>

00:39:49.980 --> 00:39:51.260
What<00:39:50.280><c> a</c><00:39:51.000><c> special</c>

00:39:51.260 --> 00:39:52.940
thing<00:39:51.679><c> for</c><00:39:52.079><c> this</c><00:39:52.239><c> group</c><00:39:52.400><c> of</c><00:39:52.679><c> people</c>

00:39:52.940 --> 00:39:55.559
that's<00:39:53.340><c> gone</c><00:39:53.639><c> through</c><00:39:53.900><c> all</c><00:39:54.079><c> this</c><00:39:54.280><c> time</c><00:39:54.460><c> of</c><00:39:54.679><c> testing</c>

00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:57.079
so<00:39:56.199><c> that</c><00:39:56.300><c> they</c><00:39:56.440><c> can</c><00:39:56.659><c> finally</c><00:39:56.880><c> be</c>

00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:02.679
Now<00:40:02.179><c> I</c><00:40:02.320><c> think</c>

00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:04.860
I<00:40:02.980><c> would</c><00:40:03.139><c> suggest</c><00:40:03.480><c> to</c><00:40:03.679><c> you</c>

00:40:04.860 --> 00:40:06.699
that<00:40:05.440><c> it's</c><00:40:05.619><c> at</c><00:40:05.719><c> this</c><00:40:05.900><c> point</c><00:40:06.059><c> that</c><00:40:06.260><c> Elijah's</c><00:40:06.599><c> work</c>

00:40:06.699 --> 00:40:08.199
is<00:40:06.880><c> almost</c><00:40:07.099><c> finished.</c>

00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:11.099
You<00:40:09.420><c> may</c><00:40:09.579><c> have</c><00:40:09.739><c> noticed</c><00:40:10.039><c> in</c><00:40:10.300><c> Hosea</c><00:40:10.559><c> chapter</c><00:40:10.860><c> 2</c>

00:40:15.420 --> 00:40:16.940
it<00:40:15.900><c> says</c><00:40:16.300><c> that</c><00:40:16.699><c> God</c>

00:40:16.940 --> 00:40:18.940

00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:22.719
It's<00:40:21.880><c> in</c><00:40:21.980><c> verse</c><00:40:22.159><c> 15.</c>

00:40:22.860 --> 00:40:24.739

00:40:33.340 --> 00:40:35.480

The<00:40:46.159><c> men</c><00:40:46.300><c> went</c><00:40:46.440><c> and</c><00:40:46.599><c> fought</c><00:40:46.699><c> against</c>

00:40:51.340 --> 00:40:53.119
Joshua<00:40:51.599><c> says,</c><00:40:51.940><c> Lord,</c><00:40:52.340><c> what</c><00:40:52.699><c> happened?</c>

00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:55.199

00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:57.119
And<00:40:55.840><c> God</c><00:40:56.000><c> says,</c><00:40:56.260><c> someone's</c><00:40:56.739><c> taken</c><00:40:56.960><c> of</c>

00:41:31.500 --> 00:41:33.460
That's<00:41:31.739><c> how</c><00:41:31.900><c> they</c><00:41:32.059><c> entered</c><00:41:32.219><c> into</c><00:41:32.420><c> the</c><00:41:32.559><c> land.</c>
