00:34:01.299 --> 00:34:04.059

Kadesh<00:35:16.539><c> Barnea</c><00:35:17.019><c> is</c><00:35:17.280><c> roughly</c><00:35:17.699><c> here.</c>

00:35:18.699 --> 00:35:22.619

00:35:29.980 --> 00:35:31.300
We<00:35:30.039><c> know</c><00:35:30.179><c> they</c><00:35:30.320><c> go</c><00:35:30.480><c> to</c><00:35:30.719><c> Eshkol.</c>

Again,<00:43:53.099><c> how</c><00:43:53.460><c> typically</c><00:43:54.159><c> human</c><00:43:54.519><c> this</c><00:43:54.699><c> is</c><00:43:55.119><c> in</c><00:43:55.320><c> Numbers</c><00:43:55.619><c> 13</c><00:43:56.099><c> and</c><00:43:56.300><c> 28.</c>

00:43:57.380 --> 00:44:01.219

Quite<00:44:22.880><c> rightly,</c><00:44:23.239><c> I</c><00:44:23.340><c> think</c><00:44:23.519><c> it's</c><00:44:23.780><c> fair</c><00:44:23.880><c> to</c><00:44:24.139><c> say</c><00:44:24.320><c> that</c><00:44:25.019><c> knowledge</c><00:44:25.659><c> is</c><00:44:26.059><c> not</c>

Quite<00:44:28.980><c> rightly,</c><00:44:29.599><c> Brother</c><00:44:29.719><c> Anthony</c><00:44:30.139><c> was</c><00:44:30.420><c> trying</c><00:44:30.679><c> to</c><00:44:30.860><c> encourage</c><00:44:31.380><c> us</c><00:44:31.639><c> this</c><00:44:31.820><c> morning</c>

00:44:32.099 --> 00:44:35.559
to<00:44:32.300><c> realize</c><00:44:32.760><c> that</c><00:44:33.079><c> knowledge</c><00:44:33.480><c> is</c><00:44:33.659><c> not</c><00:44:33.840><c> an</c><00:44:34.000><c> end</c><00:44:34.139><c> in</c><00:44:34.320><c> itself,</c><00:44:34.960><c> is</c><00:44:35.099><c> it?</c>

00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:38.579
It's<00:44:36.159><c> meant</c><00:44:36.420><c> to</c><00:44:36.639><c> produce</c><00:44:37.059><c> the</c><00:44:37.300><c> fruit</c><00:44:37.420><c> of</c><00:44:37.559><c> the</c><00:44:37.800><c> Spirit.</c>

00:44:38.659 --> 00:44:41.300
It's<00:44:38.840><c> the</c><00:44:39.039><c> basement,</c><00:44:39.480><c> but</c><00:44:39.599><c> it's</c><00:44:39.780><c> not</c><00:44:39.980><c> the</c><00:44:40.159><c> building.</c>

00:44:42.280 --> 00:44:44.599

00:44:58.940 --> 00:45:01.360
Joshua<00:44:59.239><c> and</c><00:44:59.500><c> Caleb</c><00:44:59.760><c> had</c><00:45:00.019><c> the</c><00:45:00.239><c> same</c><00:45:00.420><c> data.</c>

00:45:04.159 --> 00:45:07.519
What's<00:45:04.400><c> the</c><00:45:04.539><c> difference</c><00:45:04.800><c> between</c><00:45:05.340><c> what</c><00:45:06.219><c> they</c><00:45:06.340><c> did</c><00:45:06.440><c> with</c><00:45:06.599><c> the</c><00:45:06.760><c> data?</c>

00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:12.460
The<00:45:07.940><c> difference</c><00:45:08.300><c> is,</c><00:45:09.320><c> for</c><00:45:09.579><c> some,</c><00:45:10.440><c> the</c><00:45:10.599><c> data</c><00:45:10.920><c> generated</c><00:45:11.500><c> a</c><00:45:11.760><c> vision.</c>

00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:21.239
Thus,<00:45:18.079><c> the</c><00:45:18.239><c> twelve</c><00:45:18.480><c> experts</c><00:45:19.360><c> read</c><00:45:19.900><c> the</c><00:45:20.179><c> same</c><00:45:20.440><c> data,</c><00:45:20.940><c> one</c>

00:45:26.059 --> 00:45:28.760
What<00:45:26.179><c> was</c><00:45:26.380><c> the</c><00:45:26.519><c> difference?</c><00:45:27.659><c> Vision.</c>

00:45:28.780 --> 00:45:33.179

00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:38.480
That's<00:45:36.820><c> an</c><00:45:37.139><c> important</c><00:45:37.500><c> point.</c>

00:45:38.900 --> 00:45:43.139
As<00:45:39.119><c> we</c><00:45:39.320><c> look</c><00:45:39.460><c> at</c><00:45:39.599><c> this</c><00:45:39.800><c> section</c><00:45:40.099><c> of</c><00:45:40.260><c> the</c><00:45:40.380><c> Book</c><00:45:40.539><c> of</c><00:45:40.739><c> Numbers,</c>

00:45:55.539 --> 00:45:59.239

00:45:59.500 --> 00:46:03.599
There<00:45:59.500><c> we</c><00:45:59.780><c> saw</c><00:45:59.940><c> the</c><00:46:00.199><c> giants,</c><00:46:01.159><c> say</c><00:46:01.280><c> the</c><00:46:01.519><c> murmurers,</c><00:46:02.579><c> the</c><00:46:02.840><c> faithless.</c>

00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:08.860

So<00:46:14.360><c> we</c><00:46:14.559><c> were</c><00:46:14.719><c> in</c><00:46:14.880><c> their</c><00:46:15.079><c> sight.</c>

We<00:46:39.360><c> don't</c><00:46:39.559><c> think</c><00:46:39.719><c> we</c><00:46:39.840><c> can</c><00:46:40.079><c> overcome</c><00:46:40.480><c> it.</c>

00:46:41.320 --> 00:46:44.420
We<00:46:41.619><c> don't</c><00:46:41.860><c> trust</c><00:46:42.199><c> God,</c><00:46:43.000><c> that</c><00:46:43.119><c> he</c><00:46:43.320><c> will</c><00:46:43.539><c> help</c><00:46:43.780><c> us,</c><00:46:44.039><c> that</c><00:46:44.199><c> he'll</c>
