00:22:25.220 --> 00:22:28.079
There<00:22:25.779><c> were</c><00:22:26.039><c> a</c><00:22:26.119><c> lot</c><00:22:26.339><c> of</c><00:22:26.619><c> widows</c><00:22:26.940><c> in</c><00:22:27.099><c> Israel,</c><00:22:27.559><c> weren't</c><00:22:27.819><c> there?</c>

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:33.119
Have<00:22:28.359><c> you</c><00:22:28.460><c> ever</c><00:22:28.700><c> thought</c><00:22:28.940><c> why</c><00:22:30.019><c> the</c><00:22:31.420><c> fatherless</c><00:22:32.039><c> and</c><00:22:32.259><c> the</c><00:22:32.480><c> widows</c><00:22:32.859><c> are</c>

00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:35.599
mentioned<00:22:33.440><c> so</c><00:22:33.680><c> much</c><00:22:33.839><c> in</c><00:22:33.980><c> the</c><00:22:34.019><c> book</c><00:22:34.220><c> of</c><00:22:34.400><c> Deuteronomy?</c>

00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:38.000
And<00:22:36.200><c> there</c><00:22:36.299><c> were</c><00:22:36.460><c> so</c><00:22:36.779><c> many</c><00:22:37.059><c> of</c><00:22:37.400><c> them.</c>

00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:41.599
600<00:22:38.700><c>,000</c><00:22:39.359><c> husbands</c><00:22:39.940><c> had</c><00:22:40.279><c> died.</c>

00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:46.559
And<00:22:43.880><c> left</c><00:22:44.119><c> 600</c><00:22:44.640><c>,000</c><00:22:45.259><c> widows.</c>

00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:48.660
And<00:22:47.200><c> how</c><00:22:47.460><c> many</c><00:22:47.740><c> orphans?</c>

00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:51.519
Childless,<00:22:49.859><c> fatherless</c><00:22:50.339><c> children.</c>

00:22:53.140 --> 00:22:58.460
Because<00:22:53.660><c> the</c><00:22:53.920><c> men</c><00:22:54.079><c> didn't</c><00:22:54.339><c> have</c><00:22:54.539><c> the</c><00:22:54.819><c> faith</c><00:22:55.819><c> to</c><00:22:58.039><c> take</c><00:22:58.319><c> up</c>

00:22:58.460 --> 00:22:59.559
their<00:22:58.799><c> responsibilities.</c>

00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:07.519
Well<00:23:04.420><c> this</c><00:23:04.579><c> is</c><00:23:04.819><c> the</c><00:23:04.960><c> book</c><00:23:05.160><c> of</c><00:23:05.380><c> the</c><00:23:05.539><c> Ecclesia</c><00:23:05.960><c> in</c><00:23:06.160><c> the</c><00:23:06.319><c> wilderness.</c>

00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:13.740
But<00:23:11.279><c> just</c><00:23:11.500><c> think</c><00:23:11.740><c> now</c><00:23:12.279><c> of</c><00:23:12.980><c> the</c><00:23:13.160><c> Levites.</c>

00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:16.859
They<00:23:14.460><c> were</c><00:23:14.759><c> not</c><00:23:15.019><c> numbered,</c><00:23:15.519><c> they</c><00:23:15.700><c> were</c><00:23:16.000><c> excluded</c><00:23:16.480><c> from</c><00:23:16.680><c> that</c>

00:23:16.859 --> 00:23:18.859
because<00:23:17.259><c> God</c><00:23:17.519><c> had</c><00:23:17.720><c> a</c><00:23:17.859><c> purpose</c><00:23:18.279><c> for</c><00:23:18.599><c> them.</c>

00:23:18.859 --> 00:23:22.380
And<00:23:19.339><c> therefore</c><00:23:19.680><c> there's</c><00:23:19.960><c> no</c><00:23:20.240><c> evidence</c><00:23:20.680><c> to</c><00:23:21.019><c> say</c><00:23:21.220><c> that</c><00:23:21.480><c> they</c><00:23:21.839><c> died</c><00:23:22.160><c> in</c>

00:23:22.380 --> 00:23:23.539
the<00:23:22.539><c> wilderness.</c>

00:23:23.779 --> 00:23:27.400
The<00:23:24.079><c> old</c><00:23:24.579><c> men</c><00:23:24.920><c> of</c><00:23:25.119><c> Israel</c><00:23:25.619><c> when</c><00:23:25.839><c> they</c><00:23:26.099><c> entered</c><00:23:26.400><c> into</c><00:23:26.740><c> the</c><00:23:26.960><c> land</c>

00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:29.619
would<00:23:27.839><c> have</c><00:23:28.039><c> been</c><00:23:28.240><c> Levites.</c>

00:23:30.579 --> 00:23:32.779
Now<00:23:30.680><c> that's</c><00:23:30.920><c> an</c><00:23:31.059><c> interesting</c><00:23:31.420><c> thought,</c><00:23:31.980><c> isn't</c><00:23:32.000><c> it?</c>

00:23:32.859 --> 00:23:36.279
When<00:23:33.099><c> that</c><00:23:33.380><c> Ecclesia</c><00:23:33.940><c> went</c><00:23:34.240><c> into</c><00:23:34.559><c> the</c><00:23:34.799><c> land</c><00:23:35.019><c> under</c><00:23:35.259><c> Joshua,</c>

00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:39.559
one<00:23:36.700><c> might</c><00:23:36.960><c> say</c><00:23:37.220><c> they</c><00:23:37.420><c> had</c><00:23:37.599><c> that</c><00:23:37.900><c> perfect</c><00:23:38.420><c> balance.</c>

00:23:40.339 --> 00:23:43.019
The<00:23:40.539><c> Levites</c><00:23:41.019><c> were</c><00:23:41.220><c> the</c><00:23:41.380><c> spiritual</c><00:23:41.980><c> leaders.</c>

00:23:43.500 --> 00:23:46.019
And<00:23:43.859><c> they</c><00:23:44.099><c> were</c><00:23:44.579><c> the</c><00:23:44.779><c> aged</c><00:23:45.039><c> men.</c>

00:23:46.500 --> 00:23:48.720
The<00:23:46.680><c> young</c><00:23:46.980><c> men</c><00:23:47.299><c> were</c><00:23:47.500><c> the</c><00:23:47.700><c> warriors.</c>

00:23:48.859 --> 00:23:52.839
Who<00:23:49.079><c> could</c><00:23:49.279><c> do</c><00:23:49.480><c> the</c><00:23:49.700><c> work</c><00:23:50.599><c> under</c><00:23:51.160><c> the</c><00:23:51.420><c> guidance</c><00:23:51.859><c> of</c><00:23:52.279><c> their</c>

older<00:23:53.339><c> brethren.</c>

00:23:55.259 --> 00:23:58.059
And<00:23:55.440><c> that's</c><00:23:56.259><c> a</c><00:23:56.420><c> perfect</c><00:23:56.819><c> balance,</c><00:23:57.380><c> isn't</c><00:23:57.519><c> it?</c>

00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:01.740
That<00:23:58.480><c> the</c><00:23:58.680><c> older</c><00:23:58.920><c> brethren</c><00:23:59.400><c> with</c><00:23:59.720><c> the</c><00:24:00.079><c> spiritual</c><00:24:00.519><c> wisdom</c><00:24:01.160><c> to</c>

00:24:06.180 --> 00:24:09.380

00:24:18.859 --> 00:24:25.480
And<00:24:18.980><c> that's</c><00:24:19.380><c> a</c><00:24:19.500><c> picture</c><00:24:19.720><c> of</c><00:24:19.920><c> what</c><00:24:21.039><c> would</c><00:24:21.559><c> be</c><00:24:21.839><c> ideal</c><00:24:22.400><c> in</c><00:24:23.660><c> the</c><00:24:23.880><c> Ecclesia</c><00:24:24.220><c> of</c><00:24:24.440><c> Christ.</c>

00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:28.380
We<00:24:26.380><c> often</c><00:24:26.619><c> don't</c><00:24:26.880><c> have</c><00:24:27.079><c> that</c><00:24:27.220><c> situation.</c>

00:24:29.500 --> 00:24:32.440
In<00:24:29.720><c> Britain</c><00:24:29.960><c> there's</c><00:24:30.220><c> a</c><00:24:30.380><c> shortage</c><00:24:30.759><c> of</c><00:24:31.259><c> young</c><00:24:31.480><c> men.</c>

00:24:35.339 --> 00:24:41.200
In<00:24:35.559><c> other</c><00:24:36.000><c> countries</c><00:24:36.599><c> there</c><00:24:37.019><c> are</c><00:24:37.119><c> a</c><00:24:37.200><c> lot</c><00:24:37.319><c> of</c><00:24:37.539><c> young</c><00:24:37.740><c> people</c><00:24:38.339><c> and</c><00:24:38.680><c> not</c><00:24:38.900><c> many</c><00:24:39.299><c> older</c><00:24:39.680><c> ones</c><00:24:40.019><c> with</c><00:24:40.299><c> any</c><00:24:40.599><c> experience</c><00:24:41.039><c> in</c>

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:42.339
the<00:24:41.420><c> truth.</c>

00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:46.380
But<00:24:45.019><c> your</c><00:24:45.200><c> situation</c><00:24:45.700><c> may</c><00:24:45.940><c> be</c><00:24:46.140><c> different.</c>

00:24:46.380 --> 00:24:50.279
You<00:24:46.619><c> may</c><00:24:46.880><c> have</c><00:24:47.019><c> the</c><00:24:47.220><c> ideal</c><00:24:48.220><c> situation</c><00:24:48.900><c> in</c><00:24:49.160><c> your</c><00:24:49.359><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:24:50.660 --> 00:24:54.460
But<00:24:50.839><c> the</c><00:24:51.059><c> Book</c><00:24:51.240><c> of</c><00:24:51.420><c> Numbers</c><00:24:51.799><c> is</c><00:24:52.259><c> making</c><00:24:52.519><c> us</c><00:24:52.799><c> think</c><00:24:53.039><c> in</c><00:24:53.220><c> this</c><00:24:53.480><c> way.</c>

00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:58.359
So<00:24:55.559><c> we</c><00:24:55.720><c> need</c><00:24:55.880><c> to</c><00:24:56.059><c> look</c><00:24:56.359><c> at</c><00:24:56.779><c> the</c><00:24:56.940><c> Levites.</c>

00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:03.420
Because<00:25:00.059><c> the</c><00:25:00.299><c> Levites</c><00:25:00.680><c> give</c><00:25:00.859><c> us</c><00:25:01.059><c> a</c><00:25:01.240><c> picture</c><00:25:01.680><c> of</c><00:25:02.119><c> what</c><00:25:02.400><c> God</c><00:25:02.720><c> wants</c><00:25:03.059><c> us</c>

00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:16.380

00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:22.900

00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:31.299
