00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.579
the<00:00:58.100><c> things</c><00:00:58.280><c> that</c><00:00:58.520><c> are</c><00:00:58.820><c> eternal</c><00:00:59.299><c> and</c><00:00:59.859><c> to</c><00:01:00.020><c> look</c><00:01:00.200><c> beyond</c><00:01:00.439><c> the</c><00:01:00.679><c> temporal</c><00:01:00.899><c> things</c><00:01:01.200><c> that</c><00:01:01.380><c> we</c>

00:01:04.859 --> 00:01:08.099

00:01:08.099 --> 00:01:10.400
about<00:01:08.420><c> a</c><00:01:08.640><c> situation</c><00:01:09.140><c> for</c><00:01:09.439><c> a</c><00:01:09.599><c> moment.</c>

00:01:10.659 --> 00:01:13.219
Think<00:01:10.840><c> about</c><00:01:11.219><c> the</c><00:01:11.480><c> most</c><00:01:11.760><c> respected</c><00:01:12.239><c> brother</c><00:01:12.579><c> or</c><00:01:12.739><c> sister</c><00:01:13.060><c> that</c>

00:01:16.019 --> 00:01:21.000
Perhaps<00:01:16.540><c> it's</c><00:01:16.840><c> a</c><00:01:16.959><c> mentor</c><00:01:17.159><c> that</c><00:01:17.480><c> provided</c><00:01:17.819><c> you</c><00:01:18.120><c> with</c><00:01:18.319><c> some</c><00:01:18.519><c> guidance</c><00:01:18.939><c> during</c><00:01:19.280><c> your</c><00:01:19.540><c> life,</c><00:01:20.799><c> a</c>

00:01:29.099 --> 00:01:32.939
Perhaps<00:01:29.540><c> it's</c><00:01:29.799><c> just</c><00:01:30.019><c> somebody</c><00:01:30.319><c> who</c><00:01:31.420><c> continued</c><00:01:31.859><c> to</c><00:01:32.120><c> press</c><00:01:32.299><c> forward</c><00:01:32.640><c> in</c>

00:05:22.860 --> 00:05:26.620

00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.420
That's<00:05:36.959><c> the</c><00:05:37.079><c> way</c><00:05:37.259><c> to</c><00:05:37.439><c> the</c><00:05:37.600><c> kingdom.</c>

just<00:09:19.120><c> too</c><00:09:19.320><c> many</c><00:09:19.539><c> things</c><00:09:19.779><c> that</c><00:09:19.960><c> I</c><00:09:20.059><c> need</c><00:09:20.200><c> to</c><00:09:20.399><c> work</c><00:09:20.539><c> through.</c>

the<00:09:53.379><c> heart,</c><00:09:54.299><c> we'll</c><00:09:54.419><c> then</c><00:09:54.600><c> move</c>

00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:02.620
important<00:10:00.960><c> as</c><00:10:01.200><c> well</c><00:10:01.399><c> if</c><00:10:01.480><c> we're</c><00:10:01.679><c> going</c><00:10:01.919><c> to</c><00:10:02.120><c> be</c><00:10:02.379><c> accepted.</c>

00:10:02.659 --> 00:10:04.700
Because<00:10:03.000><c> sometimes</c><00:10:03.440><c> we</c><00:10:03.600><c> can</c><00:10:03.820><c> think</c><00:10:03.960><c> if</c><00:10:04.080><c> we're</c><00:10:04.279><c> doing</c><00:10:04.559><c> the</c>

00:10:06.620 --> 00:10:10.039
But<00:10:06.679><c> Moses</c><00:10:06.980><c> says</c><00:10:07.500><c> you</c><00:10:07.940><c> have</c><00:10:08.200><c> to</c><00:10:08.340><c> do</c><00:10:08.519><c> the</c><00:10:08.659><c> right</c><00:10:08.899><c> thing</c><00:10:09.159><c> with</c>

and<00:11:09.340><c> as</c><00:11:09.480><c> we</c><00:11:09.659><c> take</c><00:11:09.899><c> the</c><00:11:10.120><c> lessons</c><00:11:10.460><c> that</c><00:11:10.720><c> Moses</c><00:11:11.039><c> lays</c><00:11:11.340><c> out</c><00:11:11.580><c> for</c><00:11:11.799><c> us</c>

00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.379
in<00:11:12.559><c> the</c><00:11:12.700><c> book</c><00:11:12.860><c> of</c><00:11:13.059><c> Deuteronomy.</c>

00:11:14.620 --> 00:11:16.840
So<00:11:14.720><c> hopefully</c><00:11:15.000><c> that</c><00:11:15.240><c> sounds</c><00:11:15.539><c> like</c><00:11:15.759><c> an</c><00:11:15.899><c> okay</c><00:11:16.139><c> way</c><00:11:16.340><c> to</c><00:11:16.460><c> go</c><00:11:16.639><c> about</c>

00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:18.240
the<00:11:16.980><c> book</c><00:11:17.159><c> of</c><00:11:17.360><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:11:17.860><c> and</c><00:11:18.039><c> to</c>

00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:21.200
try<00:11:18.360><c> to</c><00:11:18.860><c> really</c><00:11:19.220><c> grasp</c><00:11:19.580><c> for</c><00:11:19.879><c> ourselves</c><00:11:20.279><c> some</c><00:11:20.480><c> of</c><00:11:20.620><c> the</c><00:11:20.740><c> lessons</c>

00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.019
that<00:11:21.919><c> we</c><00:11:22.080><c> can</c><00:11:22.279><c> learn</c><00:11:22.559><c> and</c><00:11:22.759><c> some</c><00:11:22.879><c> of</c>

00:11:23.019 --> 00:11:26.200
the<00:11:23.100><c> ways</c><00:11:23.279><c> in</c><00:11:23.379><c> which</c><00:11:23.519><c> it</c><00:11:23.759><c> applies</c><00:11:24.100><c> to</c><00:11:24.379><c> the</c><00:11:24.519><c> days</c><00:11:24.840><c> in</c><00:11:25.019><c> which</c><00:11:25.179><c> we</c><00:11:25.460><c> live.</c>

00:11:26.779 --> 00:11:30.019
So<00:11:26.940><c> let's</c><00:11:27.139><c> get</c><00:11:27.320><c> into</c><00:11:27.559><c> our</c><00:11:27.879><c> first</c><00:11:28.220><c> consideration</c><00:11:28.860><c> then,</c><00:11:29.820><c> which</c>

00:11:30.019 --> 00:11:31.179
is<00:11:30.179><c> taking</c><00:11:30.440><c> a</c><00:11:30.559><c> look</c><00:11:30.639><c> at</c><00:11:30.759><c> the</c><00:11:30.899><c> purpose</c>

00:11:31.179 --> 00:11:32.379
of<00:11:31.360><c> the</c><00:11:31.519><c> law.</c>

00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.460
Think<00:11:33.080><c> about</c><00:11:33.360><c> the</c><00:11:33.519><c> words</c><00:11:33.779><c> of</c><00:11:34.039><c> David</c><00:11:34.299><c> where</c><00:11:34.500><c> he</c><00:11:34.659><c> says</c><00:11:34.960><c> in</c><00:11:35.200><c> Psalm</c>

00:11:35.460 --> 00:11:37.740
119<00:11:36.159><c> and</c><00:11:36.279><c> verse</c><00:11:36.539><c> 18,</c>

00:11:37.940 --> 00:11:41.399
Open<00:11:38.059><c> thou</c><00:11:38.340><c> mine</c><00:11:38.519><c> eyes,</c><00:11:38.919><c> that</c><00:11:39.039><c> I</c><00:11:39.220><c> may</c><00:11:39.379><c> behold</c><00:11:39.679><c> wondrous</c><00:11:40.240><c> things</c><00:11:40.879><c> out</c>

00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:42.639
of<00:11:41.580><c> thy</c><00:11:41.740><c> law.</c>

00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.279
And<00:11:43.139><c> that's</c><00:11:43.379><c> our</c><00:11:43.539><c> primary</c><00:11:43.960><c> objective,</c><00:11:44.460><c> to</c><00:11:44.639><c> take</c><00:11:44.899><c> a</c><00:11:45.019><c> look</c><00:11:45.120><c> at</c>

00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:49.039
the<00:11:45.419><c> law</c><00:11:46.019><c> and</c><00:11:46.659><c> to</c><00:11:46.879><c> see</c><00:11:47.220><c> not</c><00:11:47.840><c> the</c><00:11:48.080><c> rituals,</c>

00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.960
not<00:11:49.620><c> the</c><00:11:49.820><c> many</c><00:11:50.080><c> details</c><00:11:50.580><c> of</c><00:11:50.840><c> what's</c><00:11:51.379><c> constraining</c><00:11:52.080><c> individuals</c><00:11:52.620><c> to</c><00:11:52.919><c> do,</c><00:11:53.580><c> but</c><00:11:53.759><c> to</c>

00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:54.980
see<00:11:54.100><c> that</c><00:11:54.580><c> really</c>

00:11:54.980 --> 00:11:56.620
God<00:11:55.179><c> intended</c><00:11:55.539><c> something</c><00:11:55.879><c> much</c><00:11:56.159><c> more</c><00:11:56.379><c> than</c><00:11:56.519><c> that.</c>

00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.460
The<00:11:56.940><c> details</c><00:11:57.259><c> are</c><00:11:57.720><c> super</c><00:11:58.120><c> important,</c><00:11:58.600><c> no</c><00:11:58.779><c> doubt</c><00:11:59.019><c> about</c><00:11:59.299><c> it.</c>

00:11:59.460 --> 00:12:02.379
But<00:11:59.980><c> if</c><00:12:00.139><c> we</c><00:12:00.279><c> don't</c><00:12:00.539><c> see</c><00:12:00.779><c> beyond</c><00:12:01.139><c> the</c><00:12:01.440><c> details</c><00:12:01.759><c> to</c><00:12:01.980><c> what</c><00:12:02.120><c> it</c><00:12:02.259><c> is</c>

00:12:02.379 --> 00:12:04.179
that<00:12:02.539><c> God</c><00:12:02.720><c> was</c><00:12:03.019><c> truly</c><00:12:03.340><c> trying</c><00:12:03.600><c> to</c><00:12:03.879><c> teach,</c>

00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:06.240
then<00:12:04.779><c> we</c><00:12:05.019><c> miss</c><00:12:05.200><c> the</c><00:12:05.480><c> point.</c>

00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.360
And<00:12:06.460><c> so</c><00:12:06.539><c> we'll</c><00:12:06.679><c> take</c><00:12:06.899><c> a</c><00:12:06.980><c> look</c><00:12:07.080><c> at</c><00:12:07.279><c> what</c><00:12:07.440><c> it</c><00:12:07.679><c> was</c><00:12:07.879><c> that</c><00:12:08.059><c> the</c><00:12:08.220><c> law</c>

00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.279
was<00:12:08.679><c> intended</c><00:12:08.960><c> for,</c><00:12:09.519><c> what</c><00:12:09.679><c> it</c><00:12:09.840><c> was</c><00:12:10.059><c> not</c>

00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:13.639
intended<00:12:10.620><c> for,</c><00:12:11.320><c> and</c><00:12:11.559><c> what</c><00:12:11.740><c> we</c><00:12:11.940><c> can</c><00:12:12.120><c> walk</c><00:12:12.399><c> away</c><00:12:12.639><c> with</c><00:12:13.000><c> in</c><00:12:13.399><c> our</c>

00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:14.899
daily<00:12:13.879><c> lives.</c>

00:12:15.340 --> 00:12:19.600
At<00:12:15.480><c> the</c><00:12:15.759><c> highest</c><00:12:16.059><c> level,</c><00:12:17.039><c> Moses</c><00:12:17.399><c> wanted</c><00:12:17.700><c> the</c><00:12:17.940><c> people</c><00:12:18.139><c> to</c><00:12:18.419><c> realize</c><00:12:18.860><c> that</c>

00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:21.899
the<00:12:19.840><c> law</c><00:12:20.120><c> was</c><00:12:20.379><c> for</c><00:12:20.539><c> their</c><00:12:20.860><c> benefit.</c>

00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.139
Above<00:12:22.559><c> all</c><00:12:22.919><c> else,</c><00:12:23.759><c> the</c><00:12:23.919><c> reason</c><00:12:24.220><c> that</c><00:12:24.500><c> God</c><00:12:24.740><c> gave</c><00:12:25.039><c> them</c><00:12:25.279><c> the</c><00:12:25.419><c> law,</c><00:12:25.659><c> yes,</c><00:12:25.879><c> to</c>

00:12:26.139 --> 00:12:28.240
glorify<00:12:26.639><c> him,</c><00:12:27.519><c> but</c><00:12:27.799><c> it</c><00:12:27.919><c> was</c><00:12:28.039><c> for</c>

00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.440
their<00:12:28.519><c> benefit</c><00:12:28.919><c> that</c><00:12:29.100><c> he</c><00:12:29.259><c> was</c><00:12:29.480><c> doing</c><00:12:29.700><c> these</c><00:12:30.019><c> things,</c><00:12:30.179><c> that</c><00:12:30.299><c> he</c>

00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:32.279
was<00:12:30.580><c> involved</c><00:12:30.980><c> in</c><00:12:31.080><c> their</c><00:12:31.320><c> lives.</c>

00:12:32.299 --> 00:12:35.179
He<00:12:32.299><c> said</c><00:12:32.419><c> then</c><00:12:32.580><c> the</c><00:12:32.679><c> Lord</c><00:12:32.919><c> commanded</c><00:12:33.360><c> us</c><00:12:33.639><c> to</c><00:12:33.779><c> do</c><00:12:33.899><c> all</c><00:12:34.200><c> these</c><00:12:34.440><c> statutes,</c><00:12:35.000><c> to</c>

00:12:35.179 --> 00:12:36.860
fear<00:12:35.340><c> the</c><00:12:35.559><c> Lord</c><00:12:35.720><c> our</c><00:12:35.940><c> God</c><00:12:36.259><c> for</c>

our<00:12:37.220><c> good</c><00:12:37.379><c> always.</c>

00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:42.299
Sometimes<00:12:39.120><c> we</c><00:12:39.279><c> can</c><00:12:39.580><c> feel</c><00:12:39.779><c> like</c><00:12:40.480><c> the</c><00:12:40.700><c> law</c><00:12:40.980><c> or</c><00:12:41.539><c> God's</c><00:12:42.059><c> commands</c>

00:12:42.299 --> 00:12:43.519
are<00:12:42.480><c> a</c><00:12:42.580><c> list</c><00:12:42.740><c> of</c><00:12:42.919><c> all</c><00:12:43.100><c> the</c><00:12:43.200><c> things</c><00:12:43.360><c> that</c>

00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:44.960
we<00:12:43.679><c> can't</c><00:12:44.059><c> do.</c>

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:49.059
But<00:12:45.340><c> the</c><00:12:45.539><c> reality</c><00:12:45.919><c> is,</c><00:12:46.620><c> this</c><00:12:46.820><c> is</c><00:12:47.019><c> the</c><00:12:47.200><c> guidebook</c><00:12:47.580><c> to</c><00:12:47.840><c> eternal</c><00:12:48.159><c> life.</c>

00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.179
It's<00:12:49.379><c> an</c><00:12:49.539><c> enabler</c><00:12:49.899><c> for</c><00:12:50.139><c> a</c><00:12:50.320><c> better</c><00:12:50.539><c> life,</c><00:12:51.240><c> not</c><00:12:51.480><c> a</c><00:12:51.700><c> constraint</c>

00:12:52.179 --> 00:12:54.059

00:12:54.059 --> 00:12:57.840
And<00:12:54.460><c> Moses</c><00:12:54.840><c> is</c><00:12:55.159><c> saying,</c><00:12:55.519><c> recalibrate</c><00:12:56.139><c> your</c><00:12:56.360><c> minds,</c><00:12:57.519><c> that</c><00:12:57.639><c> God</c>

00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:59.940
is<00:12:58.080><c> not</c><00:12:58.220><c> like</c><00:12:58.480><c> the</c><00:12:58.639><c> gods</c><00:12:58.820><c> of</c><00:12:59.039><c> Egypt.</c>

00:13:00.059 --> 00:13:02.740
God<00:13:00.320><c> is</c><00:13:00.500><c> a</c><00:13:00.679><c> God</c><00:13:00.980><c> that</c><00:13:01.480><c> wants</c><00:13:01.720><c> you</c><00:13:01.940><c> to</c><00:13:02.059><c> live</c><00:13:02.200><c> before</c><00:13:02.580><c> him.</c>

00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:06.259

00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:13.079
And<00:21:10.480><c> so</c><00:21:10.579><c> the</c><00:21:10.740><c> law</c><00:21:10.980><c> defines</c><00:21:11.400><c> the</c><00:21:11.740><c> boundaries</c><00:21:12.140><c> for</c><00:21:12.380><c> the</c><00:21:12.619><c> pathway</c>

00:21:40.460 --> 00:21:43.420
I'd<00:21:40.759><c> like</c><00:21:40.880><c> the</c><00:21:41.039><c> next</c><00:21:41.339><c> big</c><00:21:41.539><c> and</c><00:21:41.980><c> best</c><00:21:42.299><c> thing,</c><00:21:42.940><c> something</c><00:21:43.220><c> that</c>

00:21:43.420 --> 00:21:45.640
I'm<00:21:43.539><c> sure</c><00:21:43.759><c> we</c><00:21:43.940><c> could</c><00:21:44.099><c> all</c><00:21:44.539><c> relate</c><00:21:45.000><c> to</c><00:21:45.299><c> struggling</c>

00:21:53.099 --> 00:21:54.440
And<00:21:53.240><c> he</c><00:21:53.299><c> says,</c><00:21:53.500><c> well,</c><00:21:53.599><c> what's</c><00:21:53.960><c> covetousness?</c>

00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:57.180
And<00:21:54.680><c> somebody</c><00:21:54.900><c> explains</c><00:21:55.339><c> it</c><00:21:55.519><c> to</c><00:21:55.539><c> him,</c><00:21:55.660><c> and</c><00:21:55.759><c> he</c><00:21:55.920><c> realizes,</c><00:21:56.359><c> well,</c><00:21:56.839><c> I</c>

00:21:58.259 --> 00:21:59.220
That's<00:21:58.559><c> what</c><00:21:58.720><c> the</c><00:21:58.859><c> law</c><00:21:59.019><c> did.</c>

00:21:59.220 --> 00:22:03.240
The<00:21:59.640><c> law</c><00:21:59.640><c> highlighted</c><00:22:00.539><c> the</c><00:22:01.000><c> areas</c><00:22:01.500><c> of</c><00:22:02.140><c> nonconformity</c><00:22:03.059><c> with</c>

00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:12.900
And<00:22:09.319><c> so</c><00:22:09.519><c> sometimes</c><00:22:10.160><c> what</c><00:22:10.660><c> we</c><00:22:10.920><c> find</c><00:22:11.119><c> in</c><00:22:11.279><c> the</c><00:22:11.440><c> law</c><00:22:11.960><c> is</c><00:22:12.480><c> that</c><00:22:12.700><c> just</c>

00:22:12.900 --> 00:22:14.460

law<00:22:15.059><c> doesn't</c><00:22:15.660><c> mean</c><00:22:15.859><c> that</c><00:22:16.039><c> God</c><00:22:16.220><c> endorses</c><00:22:17.759><c> what</c><00:22:18.019><c> he's</c><00:22:18.240><c> speaking</c><00:22:18.559><c> about.</c>

00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:21.799
For<00:22:19.619><c> example,</c><00:22:19.940><c> you</c><00:22:20.119><c> think</c><00:22:20.279><c> about</c><00:22:20.640><c> divorce</c><00:22:21.119><c> in</c><00:22:21.299><c> Deuteronomy</c>

concerning<00:22:30.839><c> this.</c>

00:22:31.079 --> 00:22:32.259
When<00:22:31.240><c> is</c><00:22:31.339><c> it</c><00:22:31.500><c> lawful</c><00:22:31.799><c> to</c><00:22:32.000><c> do</c><00:22:32.140><c> this?</c>

00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:33.380
And<00:22:32.440><c> Jesus</c><00:22:32.599><c> says,</c><00:22:32.799><c> well,</c><00:22:32.940><c> wait</c><00:22:33.119><c> a</c><00:22:33.220><c> minute.</c>

00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:35.059
That<00:22:33.720><c> was</c><00:22:33.859><c> for</c><00:22:34.059><c> the</c><00:22:34.180><c> hardness</c><00:22:34.359><c> of</c><00:22:34.579><c> your</c><00:22:34.779><c> hearts.</c>

00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:37.880
That's<00:22:35.680><c> not</c><00:22:35.779><c> something</c><00:22:35.980><c> that</c><00:22:36.200><c> God</c><00:22:36.400><c> endorses,</c><00:22:36.900><c> but</c><00:22:37.039><c> God</c><00:22:37.279><c> knew</c>

00:22:40.619 --> 00:22:43.880
And<00:22:40.839><c> so</c><00:22:40.920><c> he</c><00:22:41.039><c> put</c><00:22:41.220><c> regulations</c><00:22:41.920><c> on</c><00:22:42.240><c> it</c><00:22:42.700><c> to</c><00:22:42.859><c> try</c><00:22:43.079><c> to</c><00:22:43.259><c> make</c><00:22:43.400><c> sure</c>

where<00:22:53.880><c> the</c><00:22:54.079><c> men</c><00:22:54.200><c> would</c><00:22:54.339><c> go</c><00:22:54.559><c> out</c><00:22:54.740><c> and</c>

00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:57.660
And<00:22:56.099><c> God</c><00:22:56.259><c> said,</c><00:22:56.519><c> well,</c><00:22:57.099><c> hold</c><00:22:57.299><c> on</c><00:22:57.460><c> a</c><00:22:57.519><c> minute.</c>

00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:19.000
Well,<00:23:16.680><c> no,</c><00:23:17.319><c> but</c><00:23:17.599><c> he</c><00:23:17.759><c> knew</c><00:23:17.880><c> that</c><00:23:18.039><c> that</c><00:23:18.200><c> would</c><00:23:18.319><c> be</c><00:23:18.480><c> a</c><00:23:18.680><c> difficulty</c>

00:25:36.259 --> 00:25:39.619
That<00:25:36.440><c> just</c><00:25:36.640><c> because</c><00:25:36.980><c> we</c><00:25:37.140><c> can</c><00:25:37.279><c> look</c><00:25:37.460><c> at</c><00:25:37.619><c> things</c><00:25:37.839><c> legalistically</c><00:25:38.519><c> and</c><00:25:38.740><c> say,</c><00:25:39.039><c> well,</c><00:25:39.059><c> yeah,</c><00:25:39.240><c> I</c><00:25:39.279><c> can</c><00:25:39.460><c> do</c>

00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:43.299
Paul<00:25:41.779><c> says</c><00:25:41.900><c> you</c><00:25:42.039><c> have</c><00:25:42.220><c> to</c><00:25:42.339><c> go</c><00:25:42.539><c> beyond</c><00:25:42.880><c> that.</c>

00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:45.619
And<00:25:43.799><c> you</c><00:25:43.880><c> have</c><00:25:44.039><c> to</c><00:25:44.220><c> think,</c><00:25:44.660><c> does</c><00:25:44.880><c> this</c><00:25:45.200><c> edify?</c>

00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:53.400
Now,<00:25:51.519><c> the</c><00:25:51.700><c> thinking</c><00:25:51.960><c> Jew</c><00:25:52.180><c> could</c><00:25:52.400><c> have</c><00:25:52.519><c> gotten</c><00:25:52.779><c> to</c><00:25:52.980><c> that</c><00:25:53.240><c> point</c>

with<00:25:53.599><c> the</c><00:25:53.680><c> law</c><00:25:53.859><c> of</c><00:25:54.039><c> Moses,</c><00:25:55.079><c> but</c><00:25:55.259><c> the</c>

reality<00:25:55.839><c> is</c><00:25:56.559><c> that</c><00:25:56.839><c> most</c><00:25:57.019><c> didn't.</c>

00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:01.759
And<00:25:58.559><c> that's</c><00:25:58.779><c> why</c><00:25:59.259><c> Moses</c><00:25:59.640><c> had</c><00:25:59.839><c> to</c><00:26:00.000><c> give</c><00:26:00.140><c> the</c><00:26:00.240><c> book</c><00:26:00.480><c> of</c><00:26:00.640><c> Deuteronomy.</c>

00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:04.920

00:28:18.019 --> 00:28:19.079
That's<00:28:18.460><c> food</c><00:28:18.680><c> right</c><00:28:18.960><c> there.</c>

00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:20.339

And<00:31:43.720><c> you</c><00:31:43.900><c> wonder,</c><00:31:44.339><c> well,</c><00:31:44.339><c> why</c><00:31:44.519><c> not?</c>

00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:46.180
That<00:31:44.900><c> seems</c><00:31:45.119><c> like</c><00:31:45.339><c> an</c><00:31:45.480><c> obscure</c><00:31:45.839><c> command.</c>

00:31:46.259 --> 00:31:48.839
Why<00:31:46.480><c> would</c><00:31:46.700><c> God</c><00:31:46.880><c> command</c><00:31:47.319><c> that</c><00:31:47.559><c> to</c><00:31:47.680><c> be</c><00:31:47.839><c> the</c><00:31:48.019><c> case?</c>

00:31:49.259 --> 00:31:51.500
Well,<00:31:49.500><c> because</c><00:31:49.900><c> after</c><00:31:50.160><c> you</c><00:31:50.400><c> conquer</c><00:31:50.599><c> that</c><00:31:50.819><c> city,</c><00:31:51.039><c> God</c><00:31:51.319><c> says,</c>

00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:53.859
you're<00:31:51.680><c> going</c><00:31:51.799><c> to</c><00:31:51.880><c> need</c><00:31:52.019><c> that</c><00:31:52.380><c> fruit</c><00:31:52.619><c> tree</c><00:31:52.880><c> for</c><00:31:53.539><c> food.</c>

00:31:54.299 --> 00:31:56.700
So<00:31:54.539><c> trying</c><00:31:54.740><c> to</c><00:31:54.900><c> get</c><00:31:54.980><c> them</c><00:31:55.200><c> to</c><00:31:55.480><c> realize</c><00:31:55.799><c> as</c><00:31:56.160><c> they</c><00:31:56.339><c> were</c><00:31:56.539><c> going</c>

00:31:57.579 --> 00:32:00.339
that<00:31:58.339><c> they</c><00:31:58.539><c> needed</c><00:31:58.740><c> to</c><00:31:58.960><c> be</c><00:31:59.140><c> thinking</c><00:31:59.380><c> down</c><00:31:59.740><c> the</c><00:31:59.920><c> line</c>

00:32:00.339 --> 00:32:02.619
and<00:32:00.660><c> considering</c><00:32:01.180><c> in</c><00:32:01.359><c> the</c><00:32:01.500><c> way</c><00:32:01.599><c> that</c><00:32:01.799><c> they</c><00:32:02.000><c> ran</c><00:32:02.200><c> and</c><00:32:02.460><c> governed</c>

00:32:02.619 --> 00:32:03.299
the<00:32:02.839><c> nation</c>

00:32:03.299 --> 00:32:06.700
that<00:32:03.920><c> it</c><00:32:04.119><c> wasn't</c><00:32:04.259><c> just</c><00:32:04.519><c> about</c><00:32:04.799><c> today,</c><00:32:05.720><c> but</c><00:32:05.880><c> they</c><00:32:06.059><c> had</c><00:32:06.240><c> to</c><00:32:06.400><c> be</c>

00:32:06.700 --> 00:32:07.680
considering<00:32:07.019><c> tomorrow,</c>

00:32:07.859 --> 00:32:11.559
the<00:32:08.099><c> next</c><00:32:08.400><c> day,</c><00:32:09.019><c> where</c><00:32:09.180><c> their</c><00:32:09.400><c> actions</c><00:32:09.799><c> were</c><00:32:10.059><c> going</c><00:32:10.259><c> to</c><00:32:10.519><c> lead</c><00:32:10.680><c> them.</c>

00:32:11.859 --> 00:32:14.859
So<00:32:12.160><c> those</c><00:32:12.400><c> are</c><00:32:12.539><c> some</c><00:32:12.720><c> of</c><00:32:12.880><c> the</c><00:32:12.940><c> elements</c><00:32:13.240><c> of</c><00:32:13.460><c> the</c><00:32:13.700><c> Civil</c><00:32:13.940><c> Code.</c>

00:32:15.619 --> 00:32:19.279
God<00:32:15.799><c> also</c><00:32:16.119><c> has</c><00:32:16.359><c> certain</c><00:32:16.660><c> commands</c><00:32:17.299><c> concerning</c><00:32:18.180><c> the</c><00:32:18.839><c> law</c>

00:32:23.140 --> 00:32:25.960
And<00:32:23.259><c> so</c><00:32:23.359><c> he</c><00:32:23.619><c> establishes</c><00:32:24.180><c> what's</c><00:32:24.440><c> known</c><00:32:24.640><c> today</c><00:32:24.920><c> as</c><00:32:25.259><c> case</c><00:32:25.539><c> law</c>

00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:30.940
specific<00:32:30.339><c> cases,</c>

00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:34.380
and<00:32:31.660><c> he</c><00:32:31.880><c> says</c><00:32:32.000><c> that</c><00:32:32.220><c> you</c><00:32:32.380><c> need</c><00:32:32.500><c> to</c><00:32:33.140><c> extend</c><00:32:33.559><c> those</c><00:32:33.920><c> examples</c>

00:32:37.859 --> 00:32:40.799
So<00:32:38.079><c> no,</c><00:32:38.640><c> God</c><00:32:38.900><c> couldn't</c><00:32:39.140><c> put</c><00:32:39.339><c> every</c><00:32:39.720><c> possible</c><00:32:40.240><c> scenario</c><00:32:40.640><c> that</c>

00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:19.260
You<00:42:15.340><c> think</c><00:42:15.460><c> about</c><00:42:15.679><c> the</c><00:42:15.940><c> words</c><00:42:16.219><c> in</c><00:42:16.900><c> Proverbs</c><00:42:17.239><c> 25</c><00:42:17.900><c> and</c><00:42:18.079><c> verse</c><00:42:18.380><c> 2,</c>

00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:41.960
Even<00:42:40.480><c> the</c><00:42:40.659><c> Lord</c><00:42:40.820><c> Jesus</c><00:42:41.139><c> Christ,</c><00:42:41.380><c> the</c><00:42:41.539><c> disciples,</c>

came<00:42:42.260><c> to</c><00:42:42.340><c> him</c><00:42:42.500><c> and</c><00:42:42.619><c> said,</c>

00:42:43.300 --> 00:42:45.659
why<00:42:43.780><c> do</c><00:42:44.019><c> you</c><00:42:44.019><c> speak</c><00:42:44.239><c> to</c><00:42:44.380><c> them</c><00:42:44.579><c> in</c><00:42:44.800><c> parables?</c>

00:42:46.300 --> 00:42:48.079
It<00:42:46.500><c> was</c><00:42:46.820><c> a</c><00:42:47.019><c> separating</c><00:42:47.360><c> mechanism</c>

00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:50.500
to<00:42:49.000><c> distinguish</c><00:42:49.480><c> those</c><00:42:49.940><c> who</c><00:42:50.039><c> were</c><00:42:50.260><c> there</c>

00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:13.960
Sadly,<00:43:12.280><c> though,</c><00:43:12.500><c> the</c><00:43:12.659><c> Jews</c><00:43:12.860><c> didn't</c><00:43:13.159><c> quite</c><00:43:13.519><c> get</c>

00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:18.739
They<00:43:16.639><c> thought</c><00:43:16.880><c> that</c><00:43:17.059><c> it</c><00:43:17.139><c> was</c><00:43:17.619><c> there</c><00:43:17.900><c> to</c><00:43:18.159><c> establish</c><00:43:18.539><c> them,</c>
