00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:57.580
Okay.

00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.740
Later<00:14:58.379><c> on,</c><00:14:58.860><c> the</c><00:14:58.919><c> Greeks</c><00:14:59.139><c> and</c><00:14:59.340><c> the</c><00:14:59.500><c> Romans</c><00:14:59.740><c> got</c><00:14:59.960><c> rid</c><00:15:00.100><c> of</c><00:15:00.240><c> all</c><00:15:00.399><c> of</c><00:15:00.500><c> that.</c>

military<00:15:06.620><c> liability.</c>

00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:10.059
You<00:15:08.059><c> could</c><00:15:08.279><c> grab</c><00:15:08.519><c> someone</c><00:15:08.840><c> by</c><00:15:09.039><c> the</c><00:15:09.220><c> beard,</c><00:15:09.399><c> maybe</c><00:15:09.580><c> not</c><00:15:09.840><c> this</c>

quite<00:15:14.340><c> easily.</c>

00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:19.840
So<00:15:15.279><c> the</c><00:15:15.460><c> Romans</c><00:15:15.740><c> specifically,</c><00:15:16.820><c> as</c><00:15:17.039><c> a</c><00:15:17.159><c> military</c><00:15:17.700><c> measure,</c><00:15:18.580><c> got</c><00:15:18.700><c> rid</c><00:15:18.860><c> of</c><00:15:19.039><c> beards.</c>

00:22:37.740 --> 00:22:40.839
I<00:22:38.220><c> mean,</c><00:22:38.420><c> basically,</c><00:22:39.039><c> we</c><00:22:39.240><c> don't</c><00:22:39.579><c> have</c><00:22:39.980><c> a</c><00:22:40.140><c> lot</c><00:22:40.339><c> of</c><00:22:40.579><c> physical</c>

00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:46.720
In<00:22:44.880><c> fact,</c><00:22:45.000><c> we're</c><00:22:45.259><c> dead</c><00:22:45.440><c> against</c><00:22:45.779><c> it.</c>

00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:51.539
And<00:22:48.660><c> here,</c><00:22:49.079><c> this</c><00:22:49.299><c> outward</c><00:22:49.579><c> show</c><00:22:49.920><c> of</c><00:22:50.079><c> what</c><00:22:50.240><c> they</c><00:22:50.579><c> thought</c><00:22:50.779><c> was</c><00:22:51.000><c> religion</c>

00:22:51.539 --> 00:22:54.559
was<00:22:52.299><c> really</c><00:22:52.700><c> a</c><00:22:53.000><c> removal</c><00:22:53.319><c> of</c><00:22:53.599><c> perversion.</c>

00:22:54.900 --> 00:22:57.859
And<00:22:55.140><c> I</c><00:22:55.279><c> think</c><00:22:55.440><c> there's</c><00:22:55.599><c> some</c><00:22:55.779><c> analogy</c><00:22:56.200><c> to</c><00:22:56.400><c> why</c><00:22:56.640><c> we</c><00:22:57.059><c> don't</c><00:22:57.339><c> accept</c><00:22:57.660><c> any</c>

00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:09.359

00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:12.180

Okay,<00:23:23.019><c> what</c><00:23:23.220><c> happens?</c>

00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:27.640
He<00:23:25.000><c> takes</c><00:23:25.279><c> this</c><00:23:25.559><c> as</c><00:23:25.799><c> a</c><00:23:25.980><c> weakness</c><00:23:26.380><c> and</c><00:23:26.720><c> he</c><00:23:26.819><c> says,</c><00:23:27.119><c> now</c><00:23:27.119><c> therefore,</c>

00:23:34.819 --> 00:23:37.759
He<00:23:35.339><c> says,</c><00:23:35.960><c> I</c><00:23:36.019><c> will</c><00:23:36.279><c> give</c><00:23:36.500><c> thee</c><00:23:36.740><c> two</c><00:23:36.920><c> thousand</c><00:23:37.240><c> horses</c>

00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:42.779
if<00:23:38.079><c> thou</c><00:23:38.279><c> be</c><00:23:38.500><c> able</c><00:23:39.059><c> on</c><00:23:39.960><c> thy</c><00:23:40.259><c> part</c><00:23:40.559><c> to</c><00:23:40.819><c> set</c><00:23:41.039><c> riders</c><00:23:41.359><c> upon</c><00:23:41.779><c> them.</c>

00:23:43.339 --> 00:23:45.680
I<00:23:43.680><c> think</c><00:23:43.900><c> there's</c><00:23:44.099><c> a</c><00:23:44.220><c> little</c><00:23:44.359><c> hint</c><00:23:44.519><c> of</c><00:23:44.759><c> sarcasm</c><00:23:45.259><c> there.</c>

00:23:45.980 --> 00:23:46.880
Okay,<00:23:46.140><c> I'll</c><00:23:46.299><c> give</c><00:23:46.380><c> you</c><00:23:46.480><c> the</c><00:23:46.619><c> horses,</c>

00:23:46.940 --> 00:23:49.759
but<00:23:47.220><c> you</c><00:23:47.400><c> Jews</c><00:23:47.579><c> probably</c><00:23:47.920><c> don't</c><00:23:48.119><c> know</c><00:23:48.140><c> how</c><00:23:48.259><c> to</c><00:23:48.299><c> ride</c><00:23:48.440><c> horses</c><00:23:48.759><c> anyway.</c>

00:23:51.099 --> 00:23:52.960
And<00:23:51.400><c> there</c><00:23:51.779><c> may</c><00:23:51.920><c> be</c><00:23:52.079><c> a</c><00:23:52.160><c> reason</c><00:23:52.420><c> for</c><00:23:52.700><c> it.</c>

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:55.019
They<00:23:53.160><c> were</c><00:23:53.359><c> at</c><00:23:53.480><c> this</c><00:23:53.680><c> very</c><00:23:54.000><c> time</c><00:23:54.220><c> taking</c><00:23:54.539><c> Lachish</c>

00:23:55.019 --> 00:23:58.039
and<00:23:55.259><c> destroying</c><00:23:55.660><c> one</c><00:23:55.920><c> of</c><00:23:56.019><c> his</c><00:23:56.339><c> last</c><00:23:56.779><c> chariot</c><00:23:57.220><c> cities.</c>

00:23:59.660 --> 00:24:02.579
How<00:23:59.980><c> then</c><00:24:00.279><c> wilt</c><00:24:00.480><c> thou</c><00:24:00.660><c> turn</c><00:24:00.960><c> away</c><00:24:01.220><c> the</c><00:24:01.460><c> face</c><00:24:01.680><c> of</c><00:24:01.880><c> one</c><00:24:02.140><c> captain</c>

00:24:02.579 --> 00:24:04.500
of<00:24:02.900><c> the</c><00:24:03.160><c> least</c><00:24:03.339><c> of</c><00:24:03.539><c> my</c><00:24:03.700><c> master's</c><00:24:04.299><c> servants</c>

00:24:04.500 --> 00:24:07.799
and<00:24:04.799><c> put</c><00:24:04.980><c> thy</c><00:24:05.240><c> trust</c><00:24:05.500><c> on</c><00:24:05.779><c> Egypt</c><00:24:06.079><c> for</c><00:24:06.380><c> chariots</c><00:24:06.839><c> and</c><00:24:07.039><c> horsemen?</c>

00:24:08.460 --> 00:24:12.059
Am<00:24:08.619><c> I</c><00:24:09.319><c> now</c><00:24:09.640><c> come</c><00:24:09.900><c> up</c><00:24:10.119><c> without</c><00:24:10.640><c> the</c><00:24:10.980><c> Lord</c><00:24:11.200><c> against</c><00:24:11.579><c> this</c><00:24:11.880><c> land</c>

00:24:12.059 --> 00:24:13.119
to<00:24:12.279><c> destroy</c><00:24:12.660><c> it?</c>

00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:16.579
And<00:24:13.640><c> he</c><00:24:13.759><c> uses</c><00:24:14.000><c> the</c><00:24:14.480><c> memorial</c><00:24:14.920><c> name</c><00:24:15.160><c> of</c><00:24:15.380><c> God</c><00:24:15.559><c> again.</c>

00:24:17.779 --> 00:24:21.119
The<00:24:17.920><c> Lord</c><00:24:18.240><c> said</c><00:24:18.519><c> unto</c><00:24:18.819><c> me,</c><00:24:19.259><c> go</c><00:24:19.400><c> against</c><00:24:19.799><c> this</c><00:24:20.119><c> land</c><00:24:20.319><c> and</c><00:24:20.539><c> destroy</c><00:24:20.880><c> it.</c>

00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:22.920
And<00:24:21.440><c> now</c><00:24:21.700><c> he</c><00:24:21.839><c> takes</c><00:24:22.079><c> the</c><00:24:22.279><c> name</c><00:24:22.480><c> of</c><00:24:22.660><c> the</c><00:24:22.779><c> Lord</c>

00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.099
and<00:24:23.079><c> he</c><00:24:23.240><c> says</c><00:24:23.339><c> that</c><00:24:23.579><c> the</c><00:24:23.740><c> Lord</c><00:24:23.980><c> God</c><00:24:24.200><c> of</c><00:24:24.339><c> Israel</c><00:24:24.720><c> had</c><00:24:25.019><c> told</c><00:24:25.319><c> Assyria</c><00:24:25.839><c> to</c>

00:24:26.099 --> 00:24:27.380
destroy<00:24:26.539><c> them.</c>

00:24:29.019 --> 00:24:29.960
Imagine<00:24:29.460><c> that.</c>

00:24:30.259 --> 00:24:32.220
What<00:24:30.400><c> a</c><00:24:30.599><c> blasphemous</c><00:24:31.039><c> thing</c><00:24:31.200><c> to</c><00:24:31.420><c> do.</c>

00:24:32.740 --> 00:24:34.980
The<00:24:33.180><c> irony</c><00:24:33.380><c> is</c><00:24:33.579><c> he</c><00:24:33.660><c> was</c><00:24:33.940><c> right.</c>

00:24:35.539 --> 00:24:37.900
He<00:24:35.640><c> could</c><00:24:35.819><c> have</c><00:24:35.900><c> never</c><00:24:36.119><c> done</c><00:24:36.299><c> this</c><00:24:36.539><c> if</c><00:24:36.680><c> God</c><00:24:37.019><c> hadn't</c><00:24:37.559><c> allowed</c>

00:24:37.900 --> 00:24:38.680
him<00:24:38.099><c> to</c><00:24:38.259><c> do</c><00:24:38.400><c> it.</c>

00:24:38.740 --> 00:24:40.400
But<00:24:38.880><c> he</c><00:24:38.980><c> didn't</c><00:24:39.160><c> really</c><00:24:39.460><c> know</c><00:24:39.680><c> that.</c>

00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:43.480
He<00:24:41.839><c> was</c><00:24:42.019><c> being</c><00:24:42.259><c> a</c><00:24:42.500><c> blasphemer.</c>

00:24:46.460 --> 00:24:49.420
Then<00:24:46.660><c> said</c><00:24:46.880><c> Eliakim</c><00:24:47.460><c> and</c><00:24:47.700><c> Shebna</c><00:24:48.019><c> and</c><00:24:48.220><c> Joah</c><00:24:48.440><c> unto</c><00:24:48.819><c> Rabsheka,</c>

00:24:49.660 --> 00:24:52.720
speak<00:24:49.799><c> I</c><00:24:49.960><c> pray</c><00:24:50.259><c> thee</c><00:24:50.400><c> unto</c><00:24:50.660><c> thy</c><00:24:51.000><c> servants</c><00:24:51.359><c> in</c><00:24:51.559><c> the</c><00:24:51.759><c> Syrian</c><00:24:52.119><c> language,</c>

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:53.940
for<00:24:53.119><c> we</c><00:24:53.400><c> understand</c><00:24:53.819><c> it.</c>

00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:55.740
And<00:24:54.140><c> speak</c><00:24:54.299><c> not</c><00:24:54.480><c> to</c><00:24:54.680><c> us</c><00:24:54.859><c> in</c><00:24:55.039><c> the</c><00:24:55.180><c> Jews</c><00:24:55.359><c> language</c>

00:24:55.740 --> 00:24:58.279
in<00:24:55.900><c> the</c><00:24:56.039><c> ears</c><00:24:56.259><c> of</c><00:24:56.440><c> the</c><00:24:56.599><c> people</c><00:24:56.839><c> that</c><00:24:57.019><c> are</c><00:24:57.119><c> on</c><00:24:57.279><c> the</c><00:24:57.480><c> wall.</c>

00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:02.460
So<00:24:59.400><c> he</c><00:24:59.839><c> was</c><00:25:00.079><c> deliberately</c><00:25:00.640><c> trying</c><00:25:01.140><c> to</c><00:25:02.200><c> do</c><00:25:02.359><c> it.</c>

00:25:02.460 --> 00:25:05.799
And<00:25:02.859><c> in</c><00:25:03.059><c> verse</c><00:25:03.299><c> 13,</c><00:25:03.700><c> he</c><00:25:03.839><c> says,</c><00:25:04.119><c> then</c><00:25:04.339><c> Rabsheka</c><00:25:04.779><c> stood</c><00:25:05.039><c> and</c><00:25:05.279><c> cried</c><00:25:05.420><c> with</c><00:25:05.660><c> a</c>

00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:06.500
loud<00:25:05.980><c> voice.</c>

00:25:06.859 --> 00:25:09.079
So<00:25:07.039><c> he</c><00:25:07.119><c> not</c><00:25:07.240><c> only</c><00:25:07.400><c> was</c><00:25:07.619><c> speaking</c><00:25:07.859><c> in</c><00:25:08.000><c> their</c><00:25:08.119><c> language,</c><00:25:08.839><c> this</c>

00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:09.900
was<00:25:09.339><c> propaganda.</c>

00:25:10.019 --> 00:25:12.160
I<00:25:10.200><c> don't</c><00:25:10.359><c> know,</c><00:25:10.440><c> he</c><00:25:10.539><c> didn't</c><00:25:10.700><c> have</c><00:25:10.900><c> loudspeakers.</c>

00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:16.819
But<00:25:12.960><c> he</c><00:25:13.359><c> deliberately</c><00:25:14.039><c> was</c><00:25:14.339><c> saying</c><00:25:14.539><c> this</c><00:25:14.880><c> right</c><00:25:15.220><c> where</c><00:25:15.400><c> he</c><00:25:15.619><c> could</c><00:25:15.779><c> be</c><00:25:16.000><c> heard.</c>

00:25:17.980 --> 00:25:19.220
And<00:25:18.059><c> knowing</c><00:25:18.259><c> people</c><00:25:18.579><c> as</c><00:25:18.799><c> they</c><00:25:19.019><c> are,</c>

00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:21.480
it<00:25:19.359><c> only</c><00:25:19.619><c> would</c><00:25:19.759><c> have</c><00:25:19.900><c> taken</c><00:25:20.099><c> a</c><00:25:20.319><c> few</c><00:25:20.460><c> people</c><00:25:20.740><c> on</c><00:25:20.940><c> the</c><00:25:21.119><c> wall</c><00:25:21.259><c> to</c>

00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:22.319
hear<00:25:21.619><c> this.</c>

00:25:23.259 --> 00:25:25.119
And<00:25:23.660><c> then</c><00:25:23.980><c> they</c><00:25:24.180><c> would</c><00:25:24.359><c> have</c><00:25:24.440><c> told</c><00:25:24.579><c> the</c><00:25:24.720><c> next</c><00:25:24.960><c> one,</c>

00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:26.640
and<00:25:25.279><c> the</c><00:25:25.420><c> next</c><00:25:25.619><c> one,</c><00:25:25.759><c> and</c><00:25:25.859><c> the</c><00:25:25.980><c> next</c><00:25:26.119><c> one,</c><00:25:26.240><c> and</c><00:25:26.359><c> the</c><00:25:26.440><c> next</c><00:25:26.500><c> one,</c>

00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:29.059
and<00:25:26.799><c> it</c><00:25:26.859><c> would</c><00:25:27.039><c> have</c><00:25:27.200><c> spread</c><00:25:27.359><c> all</c><00:25:27.619><c> over</c><00:25:27.759><c> the</c><00:25:27.980><c> city.</c>

00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:35.019
You<00:25:30.039><c> know,</c><00:25:31.079><c> we</c><00:25:32.539><c> would</c><00:25:32.779><c> never</c><00:25:32.920><c> have</c><00:25:33.059><c> this</c><00:25:33.240><c> problem</c><00:25:33.460><c> as</c><00:25:33.640><c> Christadelphians</c><00:25:34.279><c> spreading</c><00:25:34.619><c> a</c><00:25:34.839><c> rumor.</c>

00:25:35.259 --> 00:25:37.599
So<00:25:35.559><c> we</c><00:25:35.799><c> probably</c><00:25:36.059><c> would</c><00:25:36.279><c> not</c><00:25:36.500><c> understand</c><00:25:36.960><c> this,</c><00:25:37.339><c> right?</c>

00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:39.640
This<00:25:37.900><c> is</c><00:25:38.519><c> the</c><00:25:38.640><c> difficult</c><00:25:38.980><c> thing</c><00:25:39.180><c> to</c><00:25:39.339><c> understand.</c>

00:25:39.940 --> 00:25:43.119

00:28:48.500 --> 00:28:50.380
There's<00:28:48.980><c> not</c><00:28:49.140><c> much</c><00:28:49.319><c> you</c><00:28:49.460><c> can</c><00:28:49.640><c> say</c><00:28:49.839><c> sometimes</c>

00:28:50.380 --> 00:28:51.839

00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:11.440

00:29:17.460 --> 00:29:20.779
And<00:29:18.059><c> I</c><00:29:18.519><c> pray</c><00:29:18.660><c> to</c><00:29:18.839><c> God</c><00:29:18.960><c> we</c><00:29:19.400><c> know</c><00:29:19.640><c> the</c><00:29:19.859><c> difference.</c>

00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:23.599

And<00:30:40.700><c> in</c><00:30:41.000><c> 1944,</c><00:30:41.920><c> when</c><00:30:42.200><c> I</c><00:30:42.339><c> was</c><00:30:42.480><c> six</c><00:30:42.759><c> years</c><00:30:43.119><c> old,</c>

00:30:43.500 --> 00:30:46.079
my<00:30:43.779><c> mother</c><00:30:44.079><c> decided,</c><00:30:44.680><c> well,</c><00:30:44.779><c> I'm</c><00:30:44.920><c> ready</c><00:30:45.200><c> for</c><00:30:45.460><c> Sunday</c><00:30:45.779><c> school</c>

00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:50.960
And<00:30:48.839><c> my</c><00:30:49.000><c> grandfather</c><00:30:49.440><c> had</c><00:30:49.740><c> a</c><00:30:49.819><c> heart</c><00:30:50.019><c> attack.</c>

00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:55.380
And<00:30:52.400><c> he</c><00:30:52.839><c> was</c><00:30:53.180><c> homesick</c><00:30:53.799><c> for</c><00:30:54.200><c> six</c><00:30:54.579><c> to</c><00:30:54.779><c> eight</c><00:30:54.960><c> weeks</c>

and<00:30:56.079><c> he</c><00:30:56.380><c> finally</c><00:30:56.640><c> asked</c><00:30:56.960><c> the</c><00:30:57.140><c> doctor</c>

00:30:57.539 --> 00:31:00.720

00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:02.680
He<00:31:01.099><c> said,</c><00:31:01.220><c> yeah,</c><00:31:01.400><c> and</c><00:31:01.500><c> you</c><00:31:01.519><c> can</c><00:31:01.640><c> go</c><00:31:01.799><c> to</c><00:31:01.920><c> work</c><00:31:02.039><c> in</c><00:31:02.220><c> a</c><00:31:02.319><c> few</c><00:31:02.420><c> weeks,</c>

00:31:02.700 --> 00:31:04.819
but<00:31:02.920><c> try</c><00:31:03.180><c> first</c><00:31:03.460><c> going</c><00:31:03.839><c> nearby.</c>

00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:06.839
And<00:31:05.339><c> he</c><00:31:05.519><c> says,</c><00:31:05.680><c> fine,</c><00:31:05.940><c> can</c><00:31:06.119><c> I</c><00:31:06.200><c> go</c><00:31:06.380><c> to</c><00:31:06.599><c> church?</c>

00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:08.579
Well,<00:31:07.099><c> of</c><00:31:07.240><c> course,</c><00:31:07.380><c> the</c><00:31:07.559><c> doctor</c><00:31:07.859><c> thought</c><00:31:08.099><c> the</c><00:31:08.380><c> church</c>

00:31:08.579 --> 00:31:11.039

00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:13.160
He<00:31:11.180><c> didn't</c><00:31:11.359><c> know</c><00:31:11.559><c> it</c><00:31:11.680><c> was</c><00:31:11.839><c> about</c><00:31:12.319><c> 12</c><00:31:12.619><c> miles</c><00:31:12.940><c> away</c>

00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:15.319
on<00:31:13.319><c> a</c><00:31:13.519><c> bus</c><00:31:13.799><c> and</c><00:31:13.980><c> a</c><00:31:14.180><c> train</c><00:31:14.380><c> ride.</c>

00:31:15.420 --> 00:31:17.259
So<00:31:15.819><c> he</c><00:31:15.960><c> said,</c><00:31:16.180><c> fine.</c>

00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:20.079
And<00:31:18.920><c> my</c><00:31:19.400><c> grandfather</c><00:31:19.839><c> said,</c>

00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:22.980
but<00:31:20.400><c> I</c><00:31:20.920><c> got</c><00:31:21.059><c> to</c><00:31:21.279><c> climb</c><00:31:21.420><c> all</c><00:31:21.619><c> the</c><00:31:21.819><c> steps</c><00:31:22.000><c> of</c><00:31:22.200><c> the</c><00:31:22.380><c> elevator</c><00:31:22.680><c> line.</c>

00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:24.839
I<00:31:23.299><c> probably</c><00:31:23.539><c> ought</c><00:31:23.660><c> to</c><00:31:23.680><c> have</c><00:31:23.819><c> someone</c><00:31:24.119><c> go</c><00:31:24.319><c> with</c><00:31:24.539><c> me.</c>

00:31:24.920 --> 00:31:26.740
John<00:31:25.180><c> can</c><00:31:25.380><c> go</c><00:31:25.539><c> with</c><00:31:25.779><c> me.</c>

00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:29.660
And<00:31:27.359><c> my</c><00:31:27.640><c> father</c><00:31:28.079><c> didn't</c><00:31:29.119><c> say</c><00:31:29.359><c> no</c>

00:31:29.660 --> 00:31:31.700
because<00:31:29.940><c> my</c><00:31:30.180><c> father</c><00:31:30.460><c> never</c><00:31:30.880><c> said</c><00:31:31.160><c> no</c><00:31:31.339><c> to</c><00:31:31.500><c> my</c><00:31:31.660><c> grandfather.</c>

00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:34.539
In<00:31:31.839><c> fact,</c><00:31:32.180><c> very</c><00:31:32.420><c> few</c><00:31:32.559><c> people</c><00:31:32.920><c> said</c><00:31:33.079><c> no</c><00:31:33.240><c> to</c><00:31:33.380><c> my</c><00:31:33.619><c> grandfather.</c>

00:31:35.220 --> 00:31:39.279
And<00:31:35.700><c> so</c><00:31:36.000><c> I</c><00:31:36.200><c> started</c><00:31:36.460><c> going</c><00:31:36.819><c> with</c><00:31:37.059><c> my</c><00:31:37.440><c> grandfather</c><00:31:37.920><c> as</c><00:31:38.259><c> his</c><00:31:38.720><c> crutch</c>

00:31:39.779 --> 00:31:41.559
to<00:31:40.259><c> walk</c><00:31:40.500><c> up</c><00:31:40.660><c> the</c><00:31:40.920><c> elevator</c><00:31:41.240><c> steps,</c>

00:31:41.700 --> 00:31:43.500
which<00:31:41.819><c> were</c><00:31:41.980><c> about</c><00:31:42.380><c> three</c><00:31:42.700><c> stories</c><00:31:43.119><c> high,</c>

00:31:43.539 --> 00:31:44.799
if<00:31:43.680><c> you've</c><00:31:43.940><c> ever</c><00:31:44.160><c> been</c><00:31:44.319><c> in</c><00:31:44.500><c> Brooklyn.</c>

00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:47.579
And<00:31:45.380><c> we</c><00:31:45.500><c> took</c><00:31:45.700><c> the</c><00:31:45.960><c> train</c><00:31:46.299><c> to</c><00:31:47.119><c> Jamaica</c>

00:31:47.579 --> 00:31:49.059

00:31:49.059 --> 00:31:51.420
and<00:31:49.220><c> then</c><00:31:49.400><c> we</c><00:31:49.640><c> walked</c><00:31:49.839><c> about</c><00:31:50.099><c> a</c><00:31:50.220><c> half</c><00:31:50.380><c> a</c><00:31:50.539><c> mile</c><00:31:50.700><c> to</c><00:31:50.880><c> meet</c><00:31:51.000><c> him.</c>

00:31:51.579 --> 00:31:52.859
That's<00:31:51.839><c> how</c><00:31:51.900><c> I</c><00:31:52.039><c> started</c><00:31:52.299><c> going</c><00:31:52.559><c> to</c><00:31:52.720><c> meeting</c>

00:31:52.859 --> 00:31:55.740
because<00:31:53.220><c> my</c><00:31:53.500><c> father</c><00:31:53.759><c> couldn't</c><00:31:54.059><c> say</c><00:31:54.279><c> no</c><00:31:54.460><c> to</c><00:31:54.599><c> my</c><00:31:54.759><c> grandfather.</c>

00:31:56.579 --> 00:31:58.740
So<00:31:57.059><c> here</c><00:31:57.539><c> you</c><00:31:57.920><c> have</c><00:31:58.099><c> this</c><00:31:58.359><c> case.</c>

00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:02.180
He<00:31:59.460><c> wanted</c><00:31:59.740><c> to</c><00:31:59.960><c> be</c><00:32:00.099><c> in</c><00:32:00.319><c> the</c><00:32:00.539><c> house</c><00:32:00.940><c> of</c><00:32:01.180><c> the</c><00:32:01.400><c> Lord.</c>

00:32:03.220 --> 00:32:04.980
And<00:32:03.619><c> what</c><00:32:03.819><c> happens?</c>

00:32:05.859 --> 00:32:07.180
Verse<00:32:06.059><c> three,</c><00:32:06.380><c> and</c><00:32:06.480><c> they</c><00:32:06.660><c> said</c><00:32:06.799><c> unto</c><00:32:07.000><c> him,</c>

00:32:07.180 --> 00:32:09.839
thus<00:32:07.400><c> saith</c><00:32:07.740><c> Hezekiah,</c><00:32:08.380><c> this</c><00:32:08.660><c> day</c><00:32:08.900><c> is</c><00:32:09.059><c> a</c><00:32:09.180><c> day</c><00:32:09.359><c> of</c><00:32:09.500><c> trouble</c>

00:32:11.700 --> 00:32:13.880
So<00:32:11.900><c> he</c><00:32:11.980><c> knew</c><00:32:12.160><c> that</c><00:32:12.400><c> the</c><00:32:12.539><c> Jews</c><00:32:12.680><c> deserve</c><00:32:13.119><c> this.</c>

00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:15.759
This<00:32:14.519><c> is</c><00:32:14.539><c> something</c><00:32:14.740><c> that</c><00:32:14.900><c> had</c><00:32:15.019><c> come</c><00:32:15.220><c> into</c><00:32:15.400><c> them.</c>

00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:21.039

And<00:37:50.380><c> it's</c><00:37:50.840><c> probably</c><00:37:51.300><c> true</c><00:37:51.980><c> that</c><00:37:52.539><c> in</c><00:37:52.719><c> some</c><00:37:52.940><c> way,</c>

00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:55.500
a<00:37:53.440><c> plague</c><00:37:53.639><c> came</c><00:37:53.960><c> upon</c><00:37:54.320><c> this</c><00:37:54.619><c> camp,</c>

00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:58.059
a<00:37:55.820><c> very</c><00:37:56.219><c> virulent</c><00:37:56.780><c> form</c><00:37:57.059><c> of</c><00:37:57.260><c> it.</c>

00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:00.599
And<00:37:59.280><c> it</c><00:37:59.880><c> wiped</c><00:38:00.079><c> them</c><00:38:00.300><c> out.</c>

00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:02.619
And<00:38:01.199><c> remember,</c><00:38:01.519><c> he</c><00:38:01.760><c> still</c><00:38:02.000><c> had</c><00:38:02.119><c> more</c><00:38:02.400><c> troops</c>

00:38:02.619 --> 00:38:04.659

00:38:04.780 --> 00:38:08.219
but<00:38:04.960><c> 185</c><00:38:06.539><c>,000</c><00:38:07.340><c> men.</c>

00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:10.539
There's<00:38:08.820><c> also</c><00:38:09.119><c> some</c><00:38:09.420><c> archaeological</c><00:38:10.099><c> evidence</c>

00:38:10.539 --> 00:38:12.179
of<00:38:10.800><c> mass</c><00:38:11.159><c> graves.</c>

00:38:12.619 --> 00:38:14.820
And<00:38:12.639><c> there's</c><00:38:13.019><c> some</c><00:38:13.219><c> disputing</c><00:38:13.699><c> about</c><00:38:13.940><c> the</c><00:38:14.219><c> exact</c><00:38:14.460><c> dating,</c>

00:38:15.019 --> 00:38:17.360
but<00:38:15.360><c> there's</c><00:38:15.739><c> no</c><00:38:15.920><c> disputing</c><00:38:16.360><c> that</c><00:38:16.519><c> Assyrian</c><00:38:17.059><c> armor</c>

00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:22.380
So<00:38:19.480><c> there's</c><00:38:19.860><c> no</c><00:38:20.119><c> doubt</c><00:38:20.460><c> at</c><00:38:20.760><c> all</c><00:38:20.940><c> that</c><00:38:21.099><c> this</c><00:38:21.420><c> occurred.</c>

00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:26.360
God<00:38:23.480><c> saved</c><00:38:24.059><c> Israel</c><00:38:24.579><c> with</c><00:38:24.980><c> a</c><00:38:25.239><c> tremendous,</c>

00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:27.679
miraculous<00:38:26.739><c> hand.</c>

00:38:28.099 --> 00:38:30.539
And<00:38:28.320><c> that</c><00:38:28.539><c> hand</c><00:38:28.960><c> was</c><00:38:29.440><c> known</c><00:38:29.679><c> throughout</c><00:38:30.099><c> the</c><00:38:30.320><c> world.</c>

00:38:30.579 --> 00:38:33.820
And<00:38:30.679><c> if</c><00:38:30.800><c> you</c><00:38:30.880><c> go</c><00:38:31.099><c> back</c><00:38:31.400><c> now</c><00:38:31.639><c> to</c><00:38:31.780><c> Isaiah</c><00:38:32.179><c> 37,</c>

00:38:39.860 --> 00:38:42.639
There's<00:38:40.000><c> this</c><00:38:40.860><c> incredible,</c>

00:38:42.699 --> 00:38:44.659

the<00:38:47.360><c> most</c><00:38:47.679><c> marvelous</c><00:38:48.019><c> thing</c><00:38:48.260><c> that</c><00:38:48.460><c> we</c><00:38:48.599><c> ought</c><00:38:48.719><c> to</c>

00:38:57.800 --> 00:38:59.940
And<00:38:57.980><c> Hezekiah</c><00:38:58.559><c> received</c><00:38:59.260><c> a</c><00:38:59.579><c> letter</c>

00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:06.039
and<00:39:05.039><c> read</c><00:39:05.300><c> it.</c>

00:39:07.260 --> 00:39:09.539
And<00:39:07.420><c> he</c><00:39:07.579><c> had</c><00:39:07.739><c> done</c><00:39:07.920><c> everything</c><00:39:08.480><c> he</c><00:39:08.780><c> could</c><00:39:08.960><c> now.</c>

00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:10.980
He<00:39:10.099><c> went</c><00:39:10.320><c> to</c><00:39:10.480><c> the</c><00:39:10.659><c> prophet.</c>

00:39:11.059 --> 00:39:12.280
He<00:39:11.199><c> went</c><00:39:11.360><c> into</c><00:39:11.599><c> the</c><00:39:11.780><c> house</c><00:39:11.960><c> of</c><00:39:12.159><c> God.</c>

00:39:12.500 --> 00:39:12.619
He<00:39:12.500><c> prayed.</c>

00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:13.920
He<00:39:12.820><c> had</c><00:39:13.039><c> fortified</c><00:39:13.539><c> the</c><00:39:13.760><c> city.</c>

00:39:13.980 --> 00:39:15.519
He<00:39:14.099><c> had</c><00:39:14.320><c> secured</c><00:39:14.659><c> the</c><00:39:14.900><c> water</c><00:39:15.099><c> supply.</c>

00:39:15.739 --> 00:39:17.119
He<00:39:15.980><c> had</c><00:39:16.320><c> stored</c><00:39:16.559><c> up</c><00:39:16.840><c> food.</c>

00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:20.960
And<00:39:17.860><c> nothing</c><00:39:18.539><c> looked</c><00:39:19.539><c> like</c><00:39:19.780><c> it</c><00:39:19.940><c> was</c><00:39:20.139><c> going</c><00:39:20.340><c> to</c><00:39:20.599><c> save</c><00:39:20.739><c> him</c>

00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:30.559
And<00:39:29.760><c> what</c><00:39:29.940><c> does</c><00:39:30.099><c> he</c><00:39:30.219><c> do?</c>

00:39:31.019 --> 00:39:33.019
He<00:39:31.159><c> went</c><00:39:31.440><c> into</c><00:39:31.760><c> the</c><00:39:32.000><c> house</c><00:39:32.360><c> of</c><00:39:32.599><c> the</c><00:39:32.800><c> Lord</c>

00:39:37.699 --> 00:39:40.099
And<00:39:38.079><c> that's</c><00:39:38.440><c> exactly</c><00:39:39.079><c> what</c><00:39:39.360><c> we</c><00:39:39.619><c> ought</c><00:39:39.760><c> to</c><00:39:39.980><c> do</c>

I<00:45:55.360><c> don't</c><00:45:55.539><c> know.</c><00:45:55.940><c> It</c><00:45:55.980><c> doesn't</c><00:45:56.219><c> matter.</c>

00:45:58.199 --> 00:45:59.559
The<00:45:58.260><c> thing</c><00:45:58.440><c> is,</c><00:45:58.619><c> God</c><00:45:58.840><c> healed</c><00:45:59.199><c> him</c>

00:45:59.559 --> 00:46:02.519
and<00:45:59.820><c> he</c><00:45:59.980><c> added</c><00:46:00.260><c> 15</c><00:46:00.800><c> years</c><00:46:01.099><c> to</c><00:46:01.239><c> his</c><00:46:01.500><c> life.</c>

00:46:02.920 --> 00:46:04.840
15<00:46:03.360><c> years</c><00:46:03.719><c> to</c><00:46:03.860><c> his</c><00:46:04.059><c> life.</c>

00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:07.019
Now,<00:46:05.079><c> what</c><00:46:05.239><c> would</c><00:46:05.420><c> we</c><00:46:05.619><c> do</c><00:46:05.760><c> if</c><00:46:05.960><c> we</c><00:46:06.199><c> got</c><00:46:06.380><c> 15</c><00:46:06.760><c> years</c>

00:46:07.019 --> 00:46:08.260
he<00:46:07.119><c> added</c><00:46:07.179><c> to</c><00:46:07.380><c> our</c><00:46:07.579><c> life?</c>

00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:09.320
I<00:46:08.480><c> mean,</c><00:46:08.480><c> suppose</c><00:46:08.719><c> we</c><00:46:08.900><c> were</c><00:46:09.139><c> sick</c>

00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:11.760
and<00:46:09.639><c> we</c><00:46:10.219><c> knew</c><00:46:10.380><c> we</c><00:46:10.539><c> were</c><00:46:11.039><c> fatally</c><00:46:11.440><c> ill</c>

00:46:11.760 --> 00:46:13.519
and<00:46:12.199><c> we</c><00:46:12.659><c> were</c><00:46:12.840><c> going</c><00:46:12.960><c> to</c><00:46:13.119><c> die</c>

00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:15.340
and<00:46:14.079><c> then</c><00:46:14.300><c> all</c><00:46:14.440><c> of</c><00:46:14.639><c> a</c><00:46:14.659><c> sudden</c><00:46:14.780><c> we</c><00:46:14.940><c> were</c><00:46:15.139><c> healed</c>

00:46:15.340 --> 00:46:16.900
and<00:46:15.840><c> we</c><00:46:16.059><c> had</c><00:46:16.199><c> a</c><00:46:16.400><c> message</c><00:46:16.619><c> that</c><00:46:16.820><c> said,</c>

00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:18.699
well,<00:46:17.039><c> you</c><00:46:17.099><c> got</c><00:46:17.219><c> 15</c><00:46:17.619><c> more</c><00:46:17.860><c> years.</c>

00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:22.159
Let's<00:46:20.559><c> see</c><00:46:20.719><c> what</c><00:46:20.900><c> Hezekiah</c><00:46:21.360><c> does.</c>

00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:24.239
In<00:46:22.579><c> those</c><00:46:22.800><c> days,</c><00:46:23.079><c> Hezekiah</c><00:46:23.559><c> was</c><00:46:23.860><c> sick</c>

00:46:24.659 --> 00:46:25.840
to<00:46:25.219><c> the</c><00:46:25.440><c> death.</c>

00:46:26.239 --> 00:46:29.739
It's<00:46:26.400><c> chapter</c><00:46:27.280><c> 32</c><00:46:28.300><c> again</c><00:46:28.699><c> of</c><00:46:28.920><c> 2</c><00:46:29.099><c> Chronicles.</c>

00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:31.559
And<00:46:30.300><c> he</c><00:46:30.780><c> prayed</c><00:46:31.019><c> unto</c><00:46:31.219><c> the</c><00:46:31.420><c> Lord</c>

00:46:31.559 --> 00:46:33.199
and<00:46:31.760><c> he</c><00:46:31.840><c> gave</c><00:46:32.579><c> a</c><00:46:32.780><c> spake</c><00:46:32.960><c> unto</c><00:46:33.119><c> him</c>

00:46:33.199 --> 00:46:34.280
and<00:46:33.300><c> he</c><00:46:33.380><c> gave</c><00:46:33.559><c> him</c><00:46:33.840><c> a</c><00:46:34.019><c> sign.</c>

00:46:34.739 --> 00:46:35.920
And<00:46:34.900><c> we</c><00:46:35.019><c> won't</c><00:46:35.119><c> go</c><00:46:35.340><c> into</c><00:46:35.480><c> the</c><00:46:35.760><c> sign.</c>

00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:36.920
It's<00:46:36.119><c> not</c><00:46:36.320><c> that</c><00:46:36.539><c> important.</c>

00:46:36.940 --> 00:46:38.320
It's<00:46:37.239><c> the</c><00:46:37.340><c> sign</c><00:46:37.519><c> of</c><00:46:37.699><c> the</c><00:46:37.840><c> sundial.</c>

00:46:38.820 --> 00:46:41.340
But<00:46:38.940><c> Hezekiah</c><00:46:39.639><c> rendered</c><00:46:40.139><c> not</c><00:46:40.619><c> again</c>

00:46:41.340 --> 00:46:44.079
according<00:46:42.079><c> to</c><00:46:42.340><c> the</c><00:46:42.639><c> benefit</c><00:46:43.059><c> done</c><00:46:43.420><c> unto</c><00:46:43.780><c> him</c>

00:46:44.420 --> 00:46:46.320
for<00:46:44.800><c> his</c><00:46:45.139><c> heart</c><00:46:45.340><c> was</c><00:46:45.659><c> lifted</c><00:46:46.019><c> up</c>

00:46:46.820 --> 00:46:49.500
therefore<00:46:47.420><c> there</c><00:46:47.719><c> was</c><00:46:48.019><c> wrath</c><00:46:48.420><c> upon</c><00:46:48.820><c> him</c>

00:46:49.500 --> 00:46:52.719
and<00:46:50.039><c> upon</c><00:46:50.440><c> Judah</c><00:46:51.059><c> and</c><00:46:51.619><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:55.980
Now,<00:46:53.519><c> that's</c><00:46:54.079><c> very</c><00:46:54.840><c> pitiful.</c>

00:46:56.900 --> 00:46:57.599
And<00:46:57.000><c> you</c><00:46:57.079><c> know</c><00:46:57.280><c> something,</c>

00:46:57.840 --> 00:46:58.280
brethren<00:46:57.920><c> and</c><00:46:58.159><c> sisters?</c>

00:46:58.340 --> 00:47:00.719
There<00:46:58.539><c> is</c><00:46:58.760><c> not</c><00:46:58.940><c> a</c><00:46:59.099><c> single</c><00:46:59.579><c> word</c><00:47:00.000><c> in</c><00:47:00.260><c> Scripture</c>

00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:03.900
of<00:47:01.460><c> the</c><00:47:01.599><c> last</c><00:47:01.920><c> 15</c><00:47:02.320><c> years</c><00:47:02.579><c> of</c><00:47:02.699><c> his</c><00:47:02.960><c> life.</c>

00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:08.420
We<00:47:05.079><c> have</c><00:47:05.820><c> almost</c><00:47:06.539><c> blow</c><00:47:06.840><c>-by</c><00:47:07.119><c>-blow</c><00:47:07.400><c> accounts</c>

00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:11.500
of<00:47:09.159><c> the</c><00:47:09.719><c> first</c><00:47:09.960><c> 14</c><00:47:10.360><c> years,</c>

00:47:11.719 --> 00:47:12.719
the<00:47:11.880><c> years</c><00:47:12.039><c> of</c><00:47:12.300><c> trouble,</c>

00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:14.820
the<00:47:13.300><c> years</c><00:47:13.460><c> of</c><00:47:13.719><c> disease,</c>

00:47:15.460 --> 00:47:16.679
the<00:47:15.719><c> years</c><00:47:15.920><c> of</c><00:47:16.219><c> challenge</c>

00:47:16.679 --> 00:47:18.760
and<00:47:16.840><c> the</c><00:47:17.039><c> years</c><00:47:17.199><c> almost</c><00:47:17.519><c> of</c><00:47:17.820><c> death.</c>

00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:20.880
And<00:47:19.440><c> yet</c><00:47:19.559><c> the</c><00:47:19.699><c> last</c><00:47:20.119><c> 15</c><00:47:20.559><c> years</c>

00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:22.099
when<00:47:21.039><c> he</c><00:47:21.139><c> was</c><00:47:21.340><c> totally</c><00:47:21.699><c> blessed,</c>

00:47:22.099 --> 00:47:24.300
there<00:47:22.260><c> isn't</c><00:47:22.480><c> a</c><00:47:22.860><c> single</c><00:47:23.239><c> word.</c>

00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:26.440
And<00:47:25.380><c> I</c><00:47:25.559><c> say</c><00:47:25.719><c> brethren</c><00:47:26.019><c> and</c><00:47:26.159><c> sisters</c>

00:47:26.440 --> 00:47:28.440
that<00:47:27.139><c> too</c><00:47:27.739><c> often</c><00:47:28.019><c> in</c><00:47:28.280><c> life</c>

00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:29.800
when<00:47:28.659><c> we</c><00:47:28.860><c> are</c><00:47:29.000><c> too</c><00:47:29.300><c> blessed</c>

00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:32.260
and<00:47:30.559><c> we</c><00:47:30.619><c> don't</c><00:47:30.780><c> take</c><00:47:30.980><c> advantage</c><00:47:31.320><c> of</c><00:47:31.500><c> it.</c>

00:47:32.619 --> 00:47:33.860
And<00:47:32.900><c> I</c><00:47:33.019><c> don't</c><00:47:33.139><c> know</c><00:47:33.260><c> what</c><00:47:33.420><c> would</c><00:47:33.599><c> happen</c>

00:47:33.860 --> 00:47:35.480
if<00:47:34.440><c> I</c><00:47:34.699><c> was</c><00:47:34.920><c> given</c><00:47:35.179><c> 50,</c>

00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:36.900
somebody<00:47:35.800><c> told</c><00:47:35.940><c> me</c><00:47:36.059><c> you</c><00:47:36.139><c> got</c><00:47:36.219><c> 15</c><00:47:36.559><c> more</c><00:47:36.760><c> years</c>

00:47:36.900 --> 00:47:38.320
to<00:47:37.119><c> live,</c><00:47:37.340><c> make</c><00:47:37.420><c> the</c><00:47:37.619><c> best</c><00:47:37.800><c> of</c><00:47:37.940><c> it.</c>

00:47:38.659 --> 00:47:40.619
I<00:47:38.920><c> think</c><00:47:39.260><c> in</c><00:47:39.679><c> the</c><00:47:39.900><c> world</c><00:47:40.099><c> today</c>

00:47:40.619 --> 00:47:42.519
with<00:47:41.219><c> the</c><00:47:41.420><c> wonders</c><00:47:41.619><c> of</c><00:47:41.900><c> medical</c><00:47:42.159><c> science,</c>

00:47:42.519 --> 00:47:43.780
it<00:47:42.699><c> actually</c><00:47:43.000><c> does</c><00:47:43.320><c> happen.</c>

00:47:44.019 --> 00:47:46.619
And<00:47:44.539><c> you</c><00:47:44.780><c> wonder</c><00:47:45.099><c> if</c><00:47:45.480><c> people</c><00:47:45.800><c> always</c><00:47:46.280><c> use</c>

00:47:46.619 --> 00:47:48.719
that<00:47:46.940><c> extra</c><00:47:47.280><c> life</c><00:47:47.539><c> they've</c><00:47:47.739><c> been</c><00:47:47.920><c> given</c>

00:47:48.820 --> 00:47:50.460
and<00:47:49.079><c> use</c><00:47:49.280><c> it</c><00:47:49.519><c> wisely.</c>

00:47:50.679 --> 00:47:54.420
I<00:47:50.960><c> pray</c><00:47:51.300><c> that</c><00:47:52.300><c> if</c><00:47:53.300><c> such</c><00:47:53.760><c> circumstance</c>

00:47:54.420 --> 00:47:56.599
would<00:47:54.639><c> ever</c><00:47:54.900><c> happen</c><00:47:55.179><c> to</c><00:47:55.340><c> any</c><00:47:55.559><c> of</c><00:47:55.699><c> us,</c>

00:47:57.039 --> 00:47:58.719
that<00:47:57.119><c> what</c><00:47:57.280><c> could</c><00:47:57.460><c> be</c><00:47:57.619><c> written</c><00:47:57.900><c> for</c><00:47:58.420><c> us</c>

00:47:58.719 --> 00:47:59.800

00:47:59.800 --> 00:48:01.400
would<00:48:00.280><c> fill</c><00:48:00.519><c> much</c><00:48:00.860><c> more</c>

00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:04.500
than<00:48:01.880><c> the</c><00:48:02.079><c> last</c><00:48:02.280><c> 15</c><00:48:02.659><c> years</c><00:48:02.960><c> of</c><00:48:03.519><c> Hezekiah's</c><00:48:04.179><c> life.</c>

00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:05.739
And<00:48:04.900><c> let</c><00:48:05.039><c> it</c><00:48:05.179><c> be</c><00:48:05.360><c> so.</c>

00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:07.280
Thank<00:48:06.199><c> you.</c>

00:48:15.900 --> 00:48:17.500
Thank<00:48:16.460><c> you,</c><00:48:16.739><c> John.</c>
