00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:30.539

00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:47.799
Interestingly<00:14:43.759><c> enough,</c><00:14:45.100><c> Zacharias</c><00:14:45.360><c> reflects</c><00:14:45.919><c> on</c><00:14:46.159><c> that</c><00:14:46.419><c> himself</c><00:14:46.960><c> a</c><00:14:47.200><c> little</c><00:14:47.340><c> later</c><00:14:47.620><c> in</c>

the<00:14:47.919><c> chapter.</c>

00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:49.659
You<00:14:48.340><c> see</c><00:14:48.440><c> there</c><00:14:48.620><c> in</c><00:14:48.779><c> verse</c><00:14:49.019><c> 76,</c>

00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.799
he<00:14:49.919><c> talks</c><00:14:50.139><c> about</c><00:14:50.740><c> going</c><00:14:51.220><c> before</c><00:14:51.620><c> the</c><00:14:51.879><c> face</c><00:14:52.080><c> of</c><00:14:52.279><c> the</c><00:14:52.399><c> Lord</c><00:14:52.539><c> to</c>

00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:53.860
prepare<00:14:53.080><c> his</c><00:14:53.379><c> ways,</c>

00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:57.399
which<00:14:54.480><c> is</c><00:14:54.960><c> very</c><00:14:55.220><c> much</c><00:14:55.419><c> the</c><00:14:55.679><c> idea</c><00:14:55.899><c> that</c><00:14:56.100><c> we</c><00:14:56.320><c> had</c><00:14:56.460><c> in</c><00:14:56.879><c> Malachi.</c>

00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:00.080
But<00:14:58.059><c> then</c><00:14:58.320><c> he</c><00:14:58.539><c> introduces</c><00:14:58.960><c> this</c><00:14:59.279><c> other</c><00:14:59.460><c> component,</c><00:14:59.980><c> doesn't</c>

00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:01.039
he,<00:15:00.200><c> in</c><00:15:00.340><c> verse</c><00:15:00.519><c> 77?</c>

00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:04.700
He<00:15:01.320><c> says</c><00:15:01.559><c> to</c><00:15:01.820><c> give</c><00:15:02.159><c> knowledge</c><00:15:02.659><c> of</c><00:15:02.919><c> salvation</c><00:15:03.559><c> unto</c><00:15:03.799><c> his</c><00:15:04.120><c> people</c>

00:15:04.700 --> 00:15:07.879
by<00:15:05.539><c> the</c><00:15:05.820><c> remission</c><00:15:06.200><c> of</c><00:15:06.419><c> their</c><00:15:06.659><c> sins.</c>

00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:11.919
He<00:15:08.620><c> has</c><00:15:08.700><c> that</c><00:15:09.000><c> concept</c><00:15:09.700><c> of</c><00:15:09.980><c> salvation</c><00:15:10.620><c> before</c><00:15:11.139><c> him,</c>

00:15:12.539 --> 00:15:16.259
and<00:15:13.100><c> that</c><00:15:13.200><c> he's</c><00:15:13.460><c> going</c><00:15:13.679><c> to</c><00:15:15.000><c> portray</c><00:15:15.519><c> to</c><00:15:15.779><c> the</c><00:15:15.960><c> people.</c>

00:15:16.419 --> 00:15:19.840
So<00:15:16.580><c> it's</c><00:15:16.720><c> no</c><00:15:16.879><c> surprise</c><00:15:17.240><c> when</c><00:15:17.360><c> we</c><00:15:17.500><c> come</c><00:15:17.620><c> over</c><00:15:17.820><c> to</c><00:15:17.980><c> chapter</c><00:15:18.279><c> 3</c><00:15:18.700><c> then,</c>

00:15:20.179 --> 00:15:23.860
and<00:15:20.500><c> we</c><00:15:20.779><c> find</c><00:15:21.500><c> this</c><00:15:22.200><c> same</c><00:15:22.519><c> teaching</c><00:15:22.940><c> being</c><00:15:23.279><c> brought</c><00:15:23.580><c> out.</c>

00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:26.659
And<00:15:24.120><c> the</c><00:15:24.399><c> contrast,</c><00:15:24.940><c> do</c><00:15:25.139><c> you</c><00:15:25.139><c> remember</c><00:15:25.340><c> how</c><00:15:25.580><c> in</c><00:15:25.740><c> Isaiah</c><00:15:25.980><c> chapter</c><00:15:26.379><c> 40</c>

00:15:26.659 --> 00:15:29.720
there<00:15:27.519><c> is</c><00:15:27.759><c> the</c><00:15:28.039><c> voice</c><00:15:28.259><c> of</c><00:15:28.500><c> one</c><00:15:28.720><c> crying,</c>

00:15:32.259 --> 00:15:34.259
That's<00:15:32.500><c> surely</c><00:15:32.720><c> the</c><00:15:32.899><c> way</c><00:15:33.019><c> the</c><00:15:33.179><c> punctuation</c><00:15:33.679><c> really</c><00:15:34.039><c> is,</c>

00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:38.179

00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:37.759
I've<00:20:35.480><c> put</c><00:20:35.579><c> my</c><00:20:35.920><c> spirit</c><00:20:36.220><c> upon</c><00:20:36.599><c> him.</c>

00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:43.319

00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:28.960

00:29:37.180 --> 00:29:38.960
And<00:29:37.480><c> here's</c><00:29:37.740><c> another</c><00:29:37.920><c> one</c><00:29:38.039><c> we've</c><00:29:38.259><c> already</c><00:29:38.460><c> referred</c><00:29:38.779><c> to.</c>

00:29:39.059 --> 00:29:43.339
Here's<00:29:39.359><c> Gabriel</c><00:29:39.640><c> himself,</c><00:29:40.319><c> who</c><00:29:41.160><c> is</c><00:29:41.559><c> sent</c><00:29:41.819><c> to</c><00:29:42.180><c> speak</c><00:29:42.660><c> these</c><00:29:43.059><c> things</c>

00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:22.119
So<00:40:20.239><c> when</c><00:40:20.420><c> you</c><00:40:20.639><c> think</c><00:40:20.820><c> then</c><00:40:21.099><c> of</c><00:40:21.320><c> these</c><00:40:21.619><c> principles,</c>

00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:25.619

00:40:33.340 --> 00:40:35.960
And<00:40:33.639><c> indeed</c><00:40:33.940><c> it</c><00:40:34.079><c> seems</c><00:40:34.340><c> that</c><00:40:34.519><c> this</c><00:40:34.679><c> is</c><00:40:34.860><c> how</c>

00:40:38.539 --> 00:40:41.619
You<00:40:38.699><c> would</c><00:40:38.920><c> get</c><00:40:39.159><c> the</c><00:40:39.420><c> garment</c><00:40:39.800><c> and</c><00:40:40.280><c> you</c><00:40:40.360><c> would</c><00:40:40.719><c> trample</c><00:40:41.099><c> it,</c>

00:40:41.619 --> 00:40:47.300

00:40:52.500 --> 00:40:55.739
Ultimately,<00:40:53.559><c> here's</c><00:40:53.780><c> the</c><00:40:53.940><c> picture</c><00:40:54.139><c> of</c><00:40:54.280><c> the</c><00:40:54.380><c> Lord</c><00:40:54.539><c> Jesus,</c>

00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:17.619
Just<00:42:14.440><c> as</c><00:42:14.719><c> we</c><00:42:15.159><c> pass</c><00:42:15.340><c> through</c><00:42:15.619><c> the</c><00:42:15.900><c> succeeding</c><00:42:16.519><c> verses,</c>

00:42:26.380 --> 00:42:28.500
He<00:42:26.639><c> says</c><00:42:26.860><c> in</c><00:42:27.099><c> verse</c><00:42:27.400><c> 9</c><00:42:27.760><c> about</c><00:42:28.079><c> how</c>

00:42:28.500 --> 00:42:30.659
I've<00:42:28.960><c> made</c><00:42:29.219><c> you</c><00:42:29.539><c> contemptible</c><00:42:30.159><c> and</c><00:42:30.460><c> base</c>

00:42:33.400 --> 00:42:35.639
You<00:42:33.480><c> mustn't</c><00:42:33.699><c> be</c><00:42:34.219><c> partial</c><00:42:34.599><c> or</c><00:42:34.920><c> inconsistent.</c>

00:42:35.780 --> 00:42:40.380
That<00:42:35.940><c> was</c><00:42:36.119><c> the</c><00:42:36.239><c> very</c><00:42:36.480><c> principle</c><00:42:37.019><c> of</c><00:42:37.980><c> the</c><00:42:38.260><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:42:38.800><c> law</c><00:42:39.039><c> that</c><00:42:39.219><c> we</c><00:42:39.500><c> have.</c>

00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:32.360
And<00:44:29.079><c> they</c><00:44:29.639><c> spake</c><00:44:30.139><c> often</c><00:44:30.719><c> one</c><00:44:31.139><c> to</c><00:44:31.420><c> another</c>

00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:41.579
It<00:44:40.079><c> was</c><00:44:40.219><c> the</c><00:44:40.420><c> topic</c><00:44:40.739><c> of</c><00:44:40.920><c> her</c><00:44:41.139><c> conversation.</c>

00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:43.679
It<00:44:41.699><c> was</c><00:44:41.860><c> what</c><00:44:42.059><c> she</c><00:44:42.380><c> cared</c><00:44:42.619><c> about.</c>

She<00:44:45.340><c> who</c><00:44:45.619><c> had</c><00:44:45.900><c> lived</c><00:44:46.380><c> seven</c><00:44:47.679><c> years,</c><00:44:47.960><c> you</c><00:44:48.159><c> remember,</c><00:44:48.420><c> with</c><00:44:48.599><c> her</c><00:44:48.679><c> husband.</c>

00:44:49.019 --> 00:44:52.519
