Now<00:04:20.220><c> while</c><00:04:20.519><c> Peter</c><00:04:20.779><c> wondered</c><00:04:21.180><c> within</c><00:04:21.459><c> himself</c><00:04:21.939><c> what</c><00:04:22.160><c> this</c><00:04:22.439><c> vision</c><00:04:22.660><c> which</c><00:04:22.879><c> he</c>

00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:34.039
He's<00:10:31.259><c> with</c><00:10:31.580><c> the</c><00:10:32.159><c> company</c><00:10:32.460><c> of</c><00:10:32.620><c> his</c><00:10:32.700><c> own</c><00:10:32.860><c> disciples</c><00:10:33.279><c> and</c><00:10:33.500><c> he</c>

00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.240

they<00:15:48.519><c> were</c><00:15:48.639><c> on</c><00:15:48.799><c> familiar</c><00:15:49.139><c> turf.</c>

00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:53.419
But<00:15:50.820><c> the</c><00:15:50.940><c> uttermost</c><00:15:51.259><c> parts</c><00:15:51.500><c> of</c><00:15:51.679><c> the</c><00:15:51.840><c> world,</c><00:15:52.120><c> well,</c><00:15:52.779><c> I</c><00:15:52.980><c> guess</c>

00:15:53.419 --> 00:15:56.960
in<00:15:54.059><c> God's</c><00:15:54.419><c> good</c><00:15:54.620><c> purpose,</c><00:15:55.700><c> the</c><00:15:55.860><c> Gospel</c><00:15:56.220><c> will</c><00:15:56.419><c> go</c><00:15:56.659><c> there.</c>

00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:01.980
We're<00:15:57.200><c> not</c><00:15:57.500><c> quite</c><00:15:57.720><c> sure</c><00:15:57.960><c> how,</c><00:15:59.600><c> but</c><00:15:59.820><c> Athens</c><00:16:00.340><c> and</c><00:16:00.860><c> Corinth</c><00:16:01.259><c> and</c>

00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:08.100
heard<00:16:07.659><c> about.</c>

00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.639
These<00:16:08.700><c> men</c><00:16:08.919><c> had</c><00:16:09.179><c> not</c><00:16:09.320><c> been</c><00:16:09.500><c> there,</c><00:16:10.340><c> and</c><00:16:11.299><c> they</c><00:16:11.460><c> didn't</c><00:16:11.639><c> have</c><00:16:11.799><c> any</c><00:16:12.120><c> sense</c><00:16:12.500><c> of</c>

00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:16.220
what<00:16:12.799><c> it</c><00:16:12.899><c> would</c><00:16:13.100><c> mean</c><00:16:13.419><c> to</c><00:16:13.700><c> take</c><00:16:13.899><c> the</c><00:16:14.080><c> Gospel</c><00:16:14.399><c> to</c><00:16:14.940><c> those</c><00:16:15.139><c> places.</c>

00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:23.279
And<00:16:18.000><c> so</c><00:16:18.220><c> Peter</c><00:16:18.559><c> had</c><00:16:19.100><c> a</c><00:16:19.340><c> notional</c><00:16:19.679><c> understanding</c><00:16:20.299><c> that</c><00:16:20.600><c> somehow,</c><00:16:21.700><c> in</c><00:16:21.840><c> God's</c><00:16:22.139><c> good</c><00:16:22.419><c> plan,</c><00:16:23.159><c> the</c>

00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:27.460
Gospel<00:16:23.639><c> was</c><00:16:23.879><c> somehow</c><00:16:24.179><c> going</c><00:16:24.379><c> to</c><00:16:24.600><c> be</c><00:16:25.279><c> expanded,</c><00:16:27.159><c> but</c><00:16:27.360><c> he</c>

00:16:27.460 --> 00:16:28.460
didn't<00:16:27.659><c> understand.</c>

00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:34.720
He<00:16:29.799><c> really</c><00:16:30.399><c> did</c><00:16:30.860><c> not</c><00:16:31.100><c> have</c><00:16:31.279><c> any</c><00:16:31.620><c> practical</c><00:16:32.580><c> basis</c><00:16:33.759><c> or</c><00:16:34.179><c> context</c>

00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:37.639
in<00:16:34.899><c> which</c><00:16:35.080><c> to</c><00:16:35.600><c> understand</c><00:16:36.220><c> those</c><00:16:36.519><c> words.</c>

00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:42.179
But<00:16:39.840><c> there</c><00:16:39.919><c> was</c><00:16:40.080><c> another</c><00:16:40.299><c> problem,</c><00:16:40.940><c> and</c><00:16:41.539><c> I'd</c><00:16:41.720><c> like</c><00:16:41.799><c> you</c><00:16:41.919><c> to</c><00:16:41.980><c> go</c>

00:16:42.179 --> 00:16:44.480
back<00:16:42.360><c> now</c><00:16:42.700><c> to</c><00:16:43.000><c> the</c><00:16:43.259><c> Old</c><00:16:43.460><c> Testament.</c>

00:16:44.980 --> 00:16:48.820
To<00:16:46.379><c> Leviticus</c><00:16:47.080><c> chapter</c><00:16:47.620><c> 20.</c>

00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:03.740
And<00:16:58.600><c> here</c><00:16:58.899><c> we</c><00:16:59.120><c> are</c><00:16:59.419><c> in</c><00:17:00.500><c> the</c><00:17:00.639><c> Law</c><00:17:00.799><c> of</c><00:17:00.940><c> Moses</c><00:17:01.220><c> again,</c><00:17:02.840><c> at</c><00:17:02.960><c> the</c><00:17:03.259><c> heart</c><00:17:03.500><c> of</c>

00:17:03.740 --> 00:17:09.960
a<00:17:04.079><c> principle</c><00:17:04.500><c> which</c><00:17:05.640><c> was</c><00:17:06.180><c> ingrained</c><00:17:06.640><c> in</c><00:17:06.940><c> every</c><00:17:07.880><c> Jewish</c><00:17:08.559><c> child</c>

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:14.160
from<00:17:10.480><c> its</c><00:17:10.740><c> earliest</c><00:17:11.119><c> youth</c><00:17:11.500><c> right</c><00:17:11.839><c> through</c><00:17:12.400><c> its</c><00:17:12.839><c> entire</c><00:17:13.259><c> life.</c>

00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:18.319
A<00:17:15.240><c> principle</c><00:17:15.460><c> which</c><00:17:15.720><c> is</c><00:17:16.019><c> observed</c><00:17:16.339><c> even</c><00:17:16.640><c> today,</c><00:17:17.759><c> and</c><00:17:17.859><c> has</c><00:17:18.119><c> to</c>

00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.440
do<00:17:18.519><c> with</c><00:17:19.200><c> their</c><00:17:19.579><c> diet,</c><00:17:19.920><c> what</c><00:17:20.079><c> they</c><00:17:20.259><c> were</c><00:17:20.440><c> permitted</c><00:17:20.720><c> to</c><00:17:21.059><c> eat,</c>

00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:24.500
and<00:17:22.000><c> what</c><00:17:22.160><c> they</c><00:17:22.420><c> had</c><00:17:22.680><c> to</c><00:17:23.400><c> abstain</c><00:17:23.960><c> from</c><00:17:24.160><c> eating.</c>

00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:28.160
So<00:17:24.900><c> we</c><00:17:25.000><c> start</c><00:17:25.279><c> to</c><00:17:25.420><c> read</c><00:17:25.519><c> in</c><00:17:25.640><c> verse</c><00:17:25.839><c> 22</c><00:17:26.480><c> of</c><00:17:26.819><c> Leviticus</c><00:17:27.279><c> 20.</c>

00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:11.539
So<00:18:07.079><c> there's</c><00:18:07.640><c> a</c><00:18:07.859><c> very</c><00:18:08.119><c> important</c><00:18:08.559><c> positioning</c><00:18:09.059><c> here</c><00:18:09.880><c> that</c><00:18:10.460><c> comes</c><00:18:10.819><c> from</c><00:18:11.099><c> God</c>

00:18:11.539 --> 00:18:12.900
to<00:18:11.980><c> the</c><00:18:12.140><c> children</c><00:18:12.339><c> of</c><00:18:12.519><c> Israel.</c>

00:18:12.900 --> 00:18:15.319
Now,<00:18:13.500><c> I've</c><00:18:13.680><c> pulled</c><00:18:13.920><c> you</c><00:18:14.119><c> out</c><00:18:14.259><c> of</c><00:18:14.319><c> the</c><00:18:14.440><c> land</c><00:18:14.599><c> of</c><00:18:14.759><c> Egypt,</c><00:18:15.039><c> I've</c>

00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:16.660
brought<00:18:15.440><c> you</c><00:18:15.619><c> to</c><00:18:15.740><c> the</c><00:18:15.980><c> promised</c><00:18:16.299><c> land.</c>

00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.740
The<00:18:17.279><c> people</c><00:18:17.579><c> have</c><00:18:17.779><c> been</c><00:18:17.940><c> evacuated,</c><00:18:18.940><c> they've</c><00:18:19.200><c> been</c><00:18:19.339><c> killed,</c>

00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:24.559
they've<00:18:20.079><c> been</c><00:18:20.240><c> chased</c><00:18:20.500><c> away,</c><00:18:22.279><c> because</c><00:18:22.960><c> God</c><00:18:23.440><c> abhorred</c><00:18:23.859><c> their</c><00:18:24.099><c> practices.</c>

00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:28.980
What<00:18:24.859><c> they</c><00:18:25.160><c> did</c><00:18:25.359><c> in</c><00:18:25.559><c> that</c><00:18:25.779><c> land</c><00:18:26.359><c> displeased</c><00:18:27.160><c> God</c><00:18:27.480><c> greatly,</c><00:18:28.359><c> and</c><00:18:28.640><c> he</c>

00:18:28.980 --> 00:18:31.500
separated<00:18:29.440><c> the</c><00:18:29.799><c> children</c><00:18:30.059><c> of</c><00:18:30.180><c> Israel</c><00:18:30.519><c> from</c><00:18:30.759><c> these</c><00:18:31.059><c> people,</c>

00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:33.980
and<00:18:31.940><c> they're</c><00:18:32.140><c> not</c><00:18:32.279><c> to</c><00:18:32.480><c> follow</c><00:18:32.660><c> their</c><00:18:32.920><c> practices.</c>

00:18:34.660 --> 00:18:36.039
Now,<00:18:35.259><c> verse</c><00:18:35.339><c> 25.</c>

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:13.200
So<00:19:09.000><c> there's</c><00:19:09.559><c> an</c><00:19:10.059><c> absolutely</c><00:19:10.759><c> clear</c><00:19:11.259><c> mandate</c><00:19:11.759><c> here</c><00:19:12.319><c> to</c><00:19:12.700><c> the</c><00:19:12.859><c> children</c><00:19:13.099><c> of</c>

Israel<00:19:13.480><c> about</c><00:19:13.680><c> what</c><00:19:13.839><c> they</c><00:19:14.019><c> should</c><00:19:14.200><c> eat</c><00:19:14.539><c> and</c><00:19:14.920><c> not</c><00:19:15.259><c> eat.</c>

00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:19.720
And<00:19:15.519><c> it's</c><00:19:16.279><c> defined</c><00:19:16.720><c> very</c><00:19:17.119><c> clearly</c><00:19:17.559><c> earlier</c><00:19:18.019><c> in</c><00:19:18.140><c> this</c><00:19:18.319><c> chapter,</c><00:19:18.720><c> the</c><00:19:18.759><c> difference</c><00:19:19.119><c> between</c><00:19:19.519><c> the</c>

00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:27.619
And<00:19:21.160><c> the</c><00:19:21.559><c> various</c><00:19:22.019><c> beasts</c><00:19:23.119><c> and</c><00:19:23.319><c> birds</c><00:19:23.819><c> and</c><00:19:24.740><c> insects</c><00:19:25.339><c> and</c><00:19:25.599><c> fish,</c><00:19:26.039><c> they're</c><00:19:26.140><c> all</c><00:19:26.980><c> delineated.</c>

00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:30.420
So<00:19:27.779><c> there</c><00:19:27.900><c> was</c><00:19:28.079><c> no</c><00:19:28.299><c> mistake</c><00:19:28.799><c> about</c><00:19:29.339><c> what</c><00:19:29.559><c> could</c><00:19:29.700><c> be</c><00:19:29.940><c> eaten</c><00:19:30.119><c> and</c>

00:19:30.420 --> 00:19:30.960
what<00:19:30.740><c> couldn't.</c>

00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.099
And<00:19:31.140><c> you</c><00:19:31.299><c> see</c><00:19:31.539><c> here</c><00:19:31.700><c> that</c><00:19:31.839><c> God's</c><00:19:32.099><c> not</c><00:19:32.299><c> fooling</c><00:19:32.660><c> around,</c><00:19:32.900><c> he's</c>

00:19:33.099 --> 00:19:33.819
very<00:19:33.500><c> serious.</c>

00:19:34.099 --> 00:19:39.200
He<00:19:34.400><c> set</c><00:19:34.660><c> that</c><00:19:34.980><c> standard,</c><00:19:36.019><c> and</c><00:19:36.059><c> you</c><00:19:36.180><c> are</c><00:19:36.380><c> not</c><00:19:36.519><c> to</c><00:19:36.720><c> make</c><00:19:36.839><c> your</c><00:19:37.119><c> souls</c><00:19:37.319><c> abominable</c><00:19:37.880><c> by</c><00:19:38.200><c> beasts.</c>

00:19:39.500 --> 00:19:42.140
And<00:19:39.599><c> the</c><00:19:39.799><c> Jews</c><00:19:39.940><c> understood</c><00:19:40.460><c> that,</c><00:19:40.759><c> and</c><00:19:40.880><c> they</c><00:19:41.180><c> practiced</c><00:19:41.579><c> it.</c>

00:19:42.579 --> 00:19:47.720
It<00:19:42.700><c> was</c><00:19:42.940><c> ingrained</c><00:19:43.859><c> into</c><00:19:44.940><c> their</c><00:19:46.039><c> very</c><00:19:46.480><c> outlook,</c><00:19:47.259><c> and</c><00:19:47.359><c> it</c><00:19:47.539><c> was</c>

00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.940
something<00:19:48.059><c> which,</c><00:19:49.000><c> it</c><00:19:49.559><c> wasn't</c><00:19:49.799><c> a</c><00:19:49.980><c> religious</c><00:19:50.259><c> practice,</c><00:19:51.259><c> it</c><00:19:51.559><c> was</c><00:19:51.799><c> a</c>

daily<00:19:52.200><c> habit.</c>

00:19:53.619 --> 00:19:57.059
What<00:19:53.779><c> you</c><00:19:54.059><c> eat</c><00:19:54.539><c> at</c><00:19:54.920><c> every</c><00:19:55.180><c> meal</c><00:19:55.440><c> had</c><00:19:55.640><c> to</c><00:19:55.799><c> be</c><00:19:56.039><c> evaluated.</c>

00:19:57.220 --> 00:20:04.039
And<00:19:57.819><c> so</c><00:19:58.420><c> the</c><00:19:59.339><c> very</c><00:20:00.160><c> orthodox</c><00:20:00.779><c> Jews</c><00:20:01.019><c> today</c><00:20:01.819><c> talk</c><00:20:02.240><c> about</c><00:20:02.700><c> kosher,</c><00:20:03.599><c> kosher</c>

00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:08.980
They<00:20:06.319><c> make</c><00:20:06.500><c> a</c><00:20:06.720><c> difference</c><00:20:07.140><c> between</c><00:20:07.700><c> what's</c><00:20:08.119><c> clean</c><00:20:08.380><c> and</c><00:20:08.740><c> their</c>

to<00:20:19.519><c> God.</c>

00:20:21.380 --> 00:20:25.539
So<00:20:21.859><c> that</c><00:20:22.339><c> principle</c><00:20:22.839><c> was</c><00:20:23.119><c> in</c><00:20:23.299><c> the</c><00:20:23.460><c> mind</c><00:20:23.640><c> of</c><00:20:23.819><c> every</c><00:20:24.019><c> Jew,</c><00:20:25.480><c> and</c>

00:20:25.539 --> 00:20:27.799
it<00:20:25.579><c> was</c><00:20:25.740><c> in</c><00:20:25.900><c> the</c><00:20:26.099><c> mind</c><00:20:26.640><c> of</c><00:20:26.920><c> Peter.</c>

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:31.359
That's<00:20:28.160><c> what</c><00:20:28.279><c> we</c><00:20:28.480><c> really</c><00:20:28.700><c> want</c><00:20:28.859><c> to</c><00:20:29.019><c> see</c><00:20:29.160><c> here</c><00:20:29.400><c> and</c><00:20:29.660><c> get</c><00:20:30.480><c> clearly</c><00:20:30.859><c> in</c><00:20:31.019><c> our</c><00:20:31.180><c> mind.</c>

00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:34.700
This<00:20:31.759><c> was</c><00:20:32.079><c> ingrained</c><00:20:32.759><c> as</c><00:20:33.019><c> an</c><00:20:33.319><c> absolute</c><00:20:33.700><c> principle.</c>

00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:40.220
Now<00:20:36.039><c> when</c><00:20:36.140><c> we</c><00:20:36.299><c> come</c><00:20:36.440><c> to</c><00:20:36.579><c> Mark</c><00:20:36.839><c> 7,</c><00:20:38.720><c> there's</c><00:20:38.960><c> a</c><00:20:39.220><c> change.</c>

00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:45.240
Again,<00:20:43.279><c> it's</c><00:20:43.400><c> teaching</c><00:20:43.839><c> where</c><00:20:44.059><c> the</c><00:20:44.240><c> words</c><00:20:44.400><c> are</c><00:20:44.680><c> understood,</c>

but<00:20:45.839><c> the</c><00:20:46.059><c> principle</c><00:20:46.660><c> is</c><00:20:47.680><c> not</c><00:20:48.000><c> comprehended</c><00:20:48.900><c> in</c><00:20:49.980><c> terms</c><00:20:50.220><c> of</c><00:20:50.359><c> how</c>

00:20:50.539 --> 00:20:52.180

And<00:27:43.119><c> he</c><00:27:43.400><c> became</c><00:27:43.660><c> very</c><00:27:44.019><c> hungry</c><00:27:44.359><c> and</c><00:27:44.500><c> would</c><00:27:44.700><c> have</c><00:27:44.920><c> eaten.</c>

00:27:45.700 --> 00:27:50.319
But<00:27:46.000><c> while</c><00:27:46.559><c> they</c><00:27:46.980><c> made</c><00:27:47.279><c> ready,</c><00:27:48.140><c> he</c><00:27:48.339><c> fell</c><00:27:48.559><c> into</c><00:27:48.819><c> a</c><00:27:49.099><c> trance.</c>

00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:51.940
And<00:27:50.839><c> then</c><00:27:51.059><c> follows</c><00:27:51.359><c> the</c><00:27:51.599><c> vision.</c>

00:27:51.940 --> 00:27:56.279
And<00:27:52.740><c> what</c><00:27:52.980><c> he</c><00:27:53.359><c> sees</c><00:27:53.920><c> is</c><00:27:54.839><c> something</c><00:27:55.240><c> that</c><00:27:55.539><c> is</c><00:27:55.859><c> abhorrent.</c>

00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.140
Based<00:27:56.519><c> on</c><00:27:56.660><c> all</c><00:27:56.779><c> the</c><00:27:56.980><c> background</c><00:27:57.180><c> I've</c><00:27:57.400><c> just</c><00:27:57.640><c> given,</c><00:27:58.319><c> he's</c><00:27:58.799><c> told</c><00:27:59.339><c> to</c>

00:28:00.140 --> 00:28:04.480
go<00:28:00.619><c> and</c><00:28:00.920><c> eat</c><00:28:01.119><c> meats</c><00:28:01.599><c> that</c><00:28:02.000><c> are</c><00:28:02.200><c> unclean.</c>

00:28:04.700 --> 00:28:06.099
Just<00:28:04.880><c> consider</c><00:28:05.160><c> the</c><00:28:05.380><c> background</c><00:28:05.599><c> we've</c><00:28:05.980><c> had.</c>

00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:11.839
How<00:28:06.640><c> strongly</c><00:28:07.400><c> that</c><00:28:08.640><c> value,</c><00:28:09.900><c> that</c><00:28:10.200><c> law</c><00:28:10.640><c> would</c><00:28:10.920><c> have</c><00:28:11.019><c> been</c><00:28:11.220><c> emplaced</c><00:28:11.660><c> in</c>

00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:13.319
the<00:28:12.000><c> mind</c><00:28:12.240><c> of</c><00:28:12.539><c> Peter.</c>

00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:14.880
And<00:28:13.839><c> he</c><00:28:13.920><c> doesn't</c><00:28:14.079><c> know</c><00:28:14.140><c> what's</c><00:28:14.299><c> going</c><00:28:14.539><c> on</c><00:28:14.740><c> here.</c>

00:28:14.900 --> 00:28:16.740
This<00:28:15.359><c> is</c><00:28:15.460><c> just</c><00:28:15.640><c> something</c><00:28:15.859><c> that</c><00:28:16.059><c> sort</c><00:28:16.200><c> of</c><00:28:16.440><c> happens.</c>

00:28:16.740 --> 00:28:22.440
The<00:28:17.380><c> vision</c><00:28:17.640><c> comes</c><00:28:18.119><c> and</c><00:28:19.000><c> three</c><00:28:19.740><c> times</c><00:28:20.200><c> he's</c><00:28:20.420><c> given</c><00:28:20.759><c> this</c><00:28:21.579><c> vision</c><00:28:21.880><c> to</c>

00:28:27.180 --> 00:28:31.319
And<00:28:27.200><c> Peter</c><00:28:27.740><c> says,</c><00:28:28.940><c> not</c><00:28:28.940><c> so,</c><00:28:29.259><c> Lord,</c><00:28:29.480><c> for</c><00:28:29.640><c> I</c><00:28:29.779><c> have</c><00:28:30.039><c> never,</c><00:28:30.700><c> never</c>

00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:33.720

00:28:33.740 --> 00:28:38.140
Verse<00:28:33.940><c> 14,</c><00:28:36.099><c> the</c><00:28:36.220><c> voice</c><00:28:36.740><c> spake</c><00:28:37.119><c> unto</c><00:28:37.279><c> him</c><00:28:37.460><c> again</c><00:28:37.720><c> the</c><00:28:37.980><c> second</c>

00:28:38.140 --> 00:28:42.920
time,<00:28:38.619><c> what</c><00:28:38.859><c> God</c><00:28:39.279><c> hath</c><00:28:39.559><c> cleansed,</c><00:28:41.019><c> that</c><00:28:41.400><c> call</c><00:28:41.779><c> not</c><00:28:42.160><c> thou</c><00:28:42.480><c> common.</c>

00:28:43.400 --> 00:28:44.920
And<00:28:43.619><c> this</c><00:28:43.779><c> was</c><00:28:43.920><c> done</c><00:28:44.200><c> thrice.</c>

00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:48.900
So,<00:28:47.200><c> a</c><00:28:47.240><c> most</c><00:28:47.480><c> unusual</c><00:28:48.000><c> incident.</c>

00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:54.519
And<00:28:48.920><c> without</c><00:28:49.200><c> any</c><00:28:49.500><c> explanation,</c><00:28:51.220><c> Peter</c><00:28:51.339><c> has</c><00:28:51.660><c> no</c><00:28:51.980><c> idea</c><00:28:52.720><c> why</c><00:28:53.779><c> this</c><00:28:54.000><c> is</c><00:28:54.200><c> happening.</c>

00:28:54.880 --> 00:29:01.259
And<00:28:54.880><c> it</c><00:28:55.279><c> says</c><00:28:55.579><c> that</c><00:28:56.059><c> he</c><00:28:56.559><c> wakes</c><00:28:56.859><c> up,</c><00:28:58.500><c> verse</c><00:28:59.319><c> 19,</c><00:29:00.599><c> while</c><00:29:00.819><c> Peter</c>

00:29:01.259 --> 00:29:03.720
thought<00:29:01.859><c> on</c><00:29:02.519><c> the</c><00:29:02.759><c> vision,</c>

00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.759
the<00:29:04.019><c> Spirit</c><00:29:04.619><c> said</c><00:29:04.920><c> unto</c><00:29:05.160><c> him,</c><00:29:05.539><c> Behold,</c><00:29:06.200><c> three</c><00:29:06.539><c> men</c><00:29:06.880><c> seek</c><00:29:07.200><c> for</c><00:29:07.460><c> thee.</c>

00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:12.099
So,<00:29:08.519><c> he's</c><00:29:08.680><c> had</c><00:29:08.819><c> this</c><00:29:09.119><c> vision,</c><00:29:10.359><c> a</c><00:29:10.740><c> strange</c><00:29:11.380><c> thing</c><00:29:11.700><c> which</c><00:29:11.880><c> asks</c>

00:29:12.099 --> 00:29:15.460
him<00:29:12.279><c> to</c><00:29:12.500><c> violate</c><00:29:12.900><c> a</c><00:29:13.079><c> matter</c><00:29:13.400><c> of</c><00:29:14.339><c> conscience</c><00:29:14.859><c> and</c><00:29:15.119><c> importance</c>

00:29:15.460 --> 00:29:15.940
to<00:29:15.640><c> him.</c>

00:29:16.380 --> 00:29:18.759
He's<00:29:16.579><c> trying</c><00:29:16.779><c> to</c><00:29:17.039><c> think</c><00:29:17.319><c> about</c><00:29:17.539><c> what</c><00:29:17.740><c> it</c><00:29:17.900><c> means.</c>

00:29:18.900 --> 00:29:21.759
And<00:29:18.900><c> the</c><00:29:19.119><c> Spirit</c><00:29:19.279><c> tells</c><00:29:19.519><c> him</c><00:29:19.680><c> to</c><00:29:20.359><c> go,</c><00:29:20.839><c> three</c><00:29:21.059><c> men</c><00:29:21.259><c> seek</c><00:29:21.500><c> for</c><00:29:21.640><c> thee.</c>

00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:25.579
Arise<00:29:22.059><c> therefore,</c><00:29:22.500><c> get</c><00:29:22.740><c> thee</c><00:29:22.920><c> down,</c><00:29:23.720><c> and</c><00:29:23.779><c> go</c><00:29:23.960><c> with</c><00:29:24.220><c> them,</c><00:29:24.519><c> doubting</c><00:29:24.819><c> nothing,</c><00:29:25.440><c> for</c>

00:29:28.420 --> 00:29:30.480

00:29:30.900 --> 00:29:34.500
All<00:29:31.160><c> we</c><00:29:31.400><c> have</c><00:29:31.579><c> is</c><00:29:32.240><c> a</c><00:29:32.460><c> narrative</c><00:29:32.900><c> which</c><00:29:33.400><c> talks</c><00:29:33.680><c> about</c><00:29:33.880><c> what</c><00:29:34.119><c> happened</c><00:29:34.299><c> to</c>

00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:26.199
It's<00:36:23.639><c> an</c><00:36:23.739><c> outstanding</c><00:36:24.360><c> lesson</c><00:36:24.739><c> that</c><00:36:24.940><c> we</c><00:36:25.119><c> can't</c><00:36:25.440><c> say,</c><00:36:26.199><c> well,</c>

00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:31.579
And<00:36:29.380><c> I</c><00:36:29.519><c> really</c><00:36:30.400><c> don't</c><00:36:30.539><c> want</c><00:36:30.679><c> to</c><00:36:30.760><c> get</c><00:36:30.880><c> involved</c><00:36:31.159><c> in</c><00:36:31.300><c> that.</c><00:36:31.500><c> And</c>

00:36:39.539 --> 00:36:43.099
But<00:36:39.699><c> we</c><00:36:39.860><c> must</c><00:36:40.119><c> look</c><00:36:40.820><c> to</c><00:36:41.260><c> a</c><00:36:41.599><c> broader</c><00:36:41.840><c> area</c><00:36:42.179><c> of</c><00:36:42.480><c> responsibility</c>

00:36:56.360 --> 00:37:00.079
Paul<00:36:56.920><c> was</c><00:36:57.480><c> the</c><00:36:57.679><c> apostle</c><00:36:58.119><c> to</c><00:36:58.460><c> the</c><00:36:58.599><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:10.760
And<00:37:07.519><c> he</c><00:37:07.559><c> gives</c><00:37:07.780><c> the</c><00:37:08.059><c> Jews</c><00:37:08.219><c> a</c><00:37:08.440><c> chance</c><00:37:08.940><c> to</c><00:37:09.480><c> hear</c><00:37:09.679><c> the</c><00:37:09.860><c> Gospel.</c>

00:37:11.380 --> 00:37:17.039
Now<00:37:11.679><c> Peter</c><00:37:12.179><c> had</c><00:37:14.460><c> spoken</c><00:37:14.699><c> to</c><00:37:14.880><c> the</c><00:37:15.059><c> Jews</c><00:37:15.300><c> on</c><00:37:15.480><c> the</c><00:37:15.599><c> day</c><00:37:15.719><c> of</c><00:37:15.880><c> Pentecost.</c>

00:37:18.019 --> 00:37:22.159

00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:23.639
role<00:37:22.380><c> was.</c>

00:37:24.739 --> 00:37:28.559
In<00:37:25.260><c> preaching</c><00:37:25.659><c> there,</c><00:37:25.900><c> he</c><00:37:26.019><c> would</c><00:37:26.260><c> preach</c><00:37:26.519><c> first</c><00:37:26.900><c> in</c><00:37:27.139><c> Jerusalem</c><00:37:27.699><c> and</c><00:37:28.420><c> then</c>

00:37:30.099 --> 00:37:32.920
But<00:37:30.599><c> it</c><00:37:31.039><c> seems</c><00:37:31.360><c> to</c><00:37:31.539><c> have</c><00:37:31.840><c> stopped.</c><00:37:32.159><c> He</c><00:37:32.300><c> seems</c><00:37:32.539><c> to</c><00:37:32.639><c> have</c><00:37:32.739><c> gotten</c>

00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:40.500
He<00:37:36.119><c> was</c><00:37:36.320><c> an</c><00:37:36.619><c> effective</c><00:37:36.980><c> exponent</c><00:37:37.460><c> and</c><00:37:39.099><c> preacher</c><00:37:39.599><c> to</c><00:37:39.880><c> the</c><00:37:40.079><c> Jews.</c>

But<00:37:41.199><c> it</c><00:37:41.340><c> went</c><00:37:41.460><c> no</c><00:37:41.780><c> further.</c>

00:37:44.179 --> 00:37:48.579

Here's<00:37:55.920><c> the</c><00:37:56.139><c> insight.</c><00:37:57.300><c> And</c><00:37:57.780><c> it's</c><00:37:58.500><c> remarkable.</c>

00:37:59.179 --> 00:38:01.739
We'll<00:37:59.260><c> just</c><00:37:59.440><c> have</c><00:37:59.599><c> to</c><00:37:59.860><c> just</c><00:38:00.340><c> touch</c><00:38:00.579><c> these.</c><00:38:00.920><c> We</c><00:38:00.920><c> won't</c><00:38:01.139><c> look</c>

00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:09.440
God<00:38:06.380><c> determines</c><00:38:07.239><c> what</c><00:38:07.980><c> is</c><00:38:08.300><c> right</c><00:38:08.679><c> and</c><00:38:09.099><c> wrong.</c>

00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:12.039

00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:27.260

00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:44.900
