00:01:50.060 --> 00:01:51.579
so<00:01:50.239><c> that</c><00:01:50.439><c> the</c><00:01:50.640><c> clay</c><00:01:50.799><c> would</c><00:01:51.040><c> begin</c><00:01:51.260><c> to</c>

00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:45.019
So,<00:10:42.299><c> mortality</c><00:10:42.340><c> and</c><00:10:42.639><c> death</c><00:10:42.860><c> is</c><00:10:43.019><c> what</c><00:10:43.159><c> we</c><00:10:43.320><c> would</c><00:10:43.480><c> like</c><00:10:43.639><c> to</c><00:10:44.419><c> spend</c><00:10:44.700><c> some</c>

00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.320
And<00:11:10.720><c> it's</c><00:11:10.840><c> the</c><00:11:10.940><c> same</c><00:11:11.120><c> kind</c><00:11:11.399><c> of</c><00:11:11.559><c> difference</c><00:11:11.940><c> that</c><00:11:12.519><c> Brother</c><00:11:12.759><c> John</c><00:11:13.120><c> talked</c><00:11:13.440><c> about</c><00:11:13.679><c> yesterday</c><00:11:14.179><c> in</c>

00:11:21.179 --> 00:11:24.519
And<00:11:21.399><c> again,</c><00:11:21.799><c> we</c><00:11:22.240><c> use</c><00:11:22.519><c> that</c><00:11:22.840><c> word</c><00:11:23.080><c> with</c><00:11:23.419><c> caution,</c><00:11:23.899><c> but</c><00:11:24.240><c> let's</c>

00:11:28.620 --> 00:11:31.860
Because<00:11:29.299><c> that</c><00:11:29.679><c> head</c><00:11:29.879><c> knowledge</c><00:11:30.259><c> does</c><00:11:30.639><c> need</c><00:11:31.019><c> to</c><00:11:31.399><c> eventually</c>

00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:47.980
It's<00:11:42.720><c> a</c><00:11:42.860><c> beautiful</c><00:11:43.259><c> psalm.</c><00:11:44.039><c> It's</c><00:11:44.340><c> poetic</c><00:11:44.740><c> language.</c><00:11:46.500><c> It</c><00:11:47.120><c> elevates</c><00:11:47.639><c> us</c>

He<00:18:24.440><c> chose</c><00:18:24.819><c> that</c><00:18:25.200><c> clay,</c><00:18:25.460><c> He</c><00:18:25.680><c> chose</c><00:18:26.099><c> each</c><00:18:26.420><c> of</c><00:18:26.599><c> us,</c><00:18:27.500><c> because</c><00:18:27.900><c> He</c>

00:20:56.779 --> 00:20:59.680
We'll<00:20:57.180><c> take</c><00:20:57.400><c> a</c><00:20:57.480><c> look</c><00:20:57.599><c> a</c><00:20:57.660><c> little</c><00:20:57.839><c> bit</c><00:20:58.019><c> later</c><00:20:58.220><c> on</c><00:20:58.480><c> at</c><00:20:58.599><c> the</c><00:20:58.779><c> passage</c><00:20:59.200><c> from</c>

00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:07.500
But<00:21:03.000><c> Brother</c><00:21:03.500><c> John</c><00:21:03.880><c> talked</c><00:21:04.259><c> about</c><00:21:05.619><c> the</c><00:21:06.619><c> human</c><00:21:06.920><c> existence</c>

Now<00:21:17.819><c> that's</c><00:21:18.019><c> not</c><00:21:18.339><c> real</c><00:21:19.000><c> uplifting.</c>

00:21:19.579 --> 00:21:22.960

We<00:21:42.819><c> are</c><00:21:43.140><c> like</c><00:21:43.920><c> withered</c><00:21:44.740><c> grass.</c>

the<00:28:26.380><c> grass</c><00:28:26.940><c> has</c><00:28:27.319><c> the</c><00:28:27.640><c> very,</c><00:28:28.180><c> very</c><00:28:28.720><c> shortest</c><00:28:29.400><c> flowering</c><00:28:30.359><c> stage.</c>

00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:34.220
Now,<00:28:32.960><c> think</c><00:28:33.200><c> about</c><00:28:33.440><c> that</c><00:28:33.680><c> verse</c><00:28:33.880><c> again.</c>

00:28:34.339 --> 00:28:36.660
Let's<00:28:34.539><c> take</c><00:28:34.779><c> a</c><00:28:34.839><c> look</c><00:28:34.960><c> at</c><00:28:35.160><c> it.</c>

00:28:50.599 --> 00:28:54.079
So<00:28:51.160><c> grass</c><00:28:51.539><c> in</c><00:28:51.720><c> and</c><00:28:51.819><c> of</c><00:28:51.940><c> itself</c><00:28:52.339><c> is</c><00:28:52.680><c> not</c><00:28:52.960><c> a</c><00:28:53.180><c> plant</c><00:28:53.319><c> that</c><00:28:53.559><c> lasts</c><00:28:53.799><c> for</c><00:28:54.079><c> a</c>

00:28:54.779 --> 00:28:58.880
but<00:28:55.200><c> the</c><00:28:55.619><c> flowering</c><00:28:56.319><c> stage</c><00:28:56.700><c> of</c><00:28:57.000><c> the</c><00:28:57.259><c> grass</c><00:28:57.839><c> among</c><00:28:58.240><c> all</c><00:28:58.660><c> the</c>

00:28:59.420 --> 00:29:01.759
is<00:29:00.079><c> among</c><00:29:00.460><c> the</c><00:29:00.779><c> shortest.</c>

00:29:03.019 --> 00:29:05.940
And<00:29:03.099><c> that's</c><00:29:03.279><c> what</c><00:29:03.420><c> we're</c><00:29:03.759><c> likened</c><00:29:04.160><c> to,</c><00:29:04.539><c> brothers</c><00:29:04.640><c> and</c><00:29:04.880><c> sisters.</c>

00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:12.660
The<00:29:07.559><c> grass</c><00:29:07.920><c> withereth,</c><00:29:09.000><c> the</c><00:29:09.240><c> flower</c><00:29:09.559><c> fadeth,</c><00:29:10.880><c> oh</c><00:29:11.359><c> so</c><00:29:11.640><c> quickly.</c>

00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:18.259
But<00:29:13.859><c> the</c><00:29:14.119><c> contrast</c><00:29:14.619><c> is</c><00:29:15.119><c> the</c><00:29:15.359><c> word</c><00:29:15.680><c> of</c><00:29:15.900><c> our</c><00:29:16.160><c> God</c><00:29:16.519><c> shall</c><00:29:16.839><c> stand</c><00:29:17.240><c> forever.</c>

00:29:18.940 --> 00:29:22.599
And<00:29:19.259><c> so</c><00:29:19.420><c> if</c><00:29:19.559><c> we</c><00:29:19.720><c> can</c><00:29:20.140><c> hold</c><00:29:20.519><c> fast</c><00:29:21.039><c> to</c><00:29:21.299><c> that</c><00:29:21.539><c> word</c><00:29:21.839><c> of</c><00:29:22.140><c> God,</c>

00:29:27.420 --> 00:29:31.859
And<00:29:27.599><c> if</c><00:29:27.700><c> we</c><00:29:27.900><c> can</c><00:29:28.059><c> come</c><00:29:28.359><c> close</c><00:29:28.740><c> to</c><00:29:29.180><c> the</c><00:29:29.680><c> word</c><00:29:29.960><c> of</c><00:29:30.180><c> our</c><00:29:30.420><c> God</c><00:29:30.759><c> made</c><00:29:31.200><c> flesh</c>

00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:42.700
then<00:29:37.400><c> we</c><00:29:37.740><c> have</c><00:29:38.279><c> the</c><00:29:38.839><c> ability</c><00:29:39.380><c> through</c><00:29:40.099><c> His</c><00:29:40.440><c> grace</c><00:29:40.819><c> and</c><00:29:41.079><c> through</c><00:29:41.319><c> His</c><00:29:41.619><c> power</c>

00:29:42.980 --> 00:29:47.599

00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:54.799
Do<00:29:53.019><c> you</c><00:29:53.019><c> believe</c><00:29:53.259><c> what</c><00:29:53.420><c> I</c><00:29:53.500><c> just</c><00:29:53.680><c> told</c><00:29:53.900><c> you?</c>

00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:00.619
I<00:29:58.220><c> have</c><00:29:58.480><c> trouble</c><00:29:58.779><c> sometimes</c><00:29:59.440><c> believing</c><00:29:59.839><c> what</c><00:30:00.079><c> I've</c><00:30:00.319><c> just</c>

00:30:07.019 --> 00:30:10.559
Let's<00:30:07.400><c> take</c><00:30:07.680><c> a</c><00:30:07.759><c> look</c><00:30:07.920><c> now</c><00:30:08.299><c> at</c><00:30:08.640><c> mortality</c><00:30:09.220><c> and</c><00:30:09.480><c> death</c><00:30:09.720><c> as</c><00:30:10.000><c> perceived</c>

00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:18.220
We'll<00:30:14.619><c> start</c><00:30:14.819><c> with</c><00:30:15.019><c> Abraham</c><00:30:15.460><c> and</c><00:30:15.599><c> we'll</c><00:30:15.819><c> see</c><00:30:16.140><c> that</c><00:30:17.359><c> they</c><00:30:17.960><c> had</c>

00:30:31.859 --> 00:30:35.220

00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.940
They<00:31:27.039><c> will</c><00:31:27.259><c> say,</c><00:31:28.039><c> This</c><00:31:28.319><c> is</c><00:31:28.480><c> his</c><00:31:28.700><c> wife,</c><00:31:29.099><c> and</c><00:31:29.259><c> they</c><00:31:29.400><c> will</c><00:31:29.640><c> kill</c><00:31:29.920><c> me.</c>

00:32:14.059 --> 00:32:16.039

00:32:17.299 --> 00:32:21.319
I'll<00:32:17.940><c> let</c><00:32:18.119><c> you</c><00:32:18.359><c> think</c><00:32:18.599><c> about</c><00:32:18.880><c> that</c><00:32:19.220><c> and</c><00:32:19.460><c> decide</c><00:32:19.839><c> in</c><00:32:20.000><c> your</c><00:32:20.240><c> own</c><00:32:20.460><c> mind.</c>

00:32:21.579 --> 00:32:26.119
But<00:32:21.779><c> Abram</c><00:32:22.160><c> in</c><00:32:22.460><c> this</c><00:32:22.660><c> particular</c><00:32:23.200><c> instance</c><00:32:23.839><c> was</c><00:32:25.160><c> fearful</c><00:32:25.619><c> that</c><00:32:25.920><c> the</c>

00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:28.799

00:32:37.859 --> 00:32:39.279
Again,<00:32:38.140><c> it's</c><00:32:38.359><c> a</c><00:32:38.500><c> familiar</c><00:32:38.819><c> story.</c>

00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:42.039
It's<00:32:39.839><c> the</c><00:32:40.000><c> destruction</c><00:32:40.539><c> of</c><00:32:40.839><c> Sodom</c><00:32:41.099><c> and</c><00:32:41.240><c> Gomorrah</c>

00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:52.440
Let's<00:32:48.500><c> read</c><00:32:48.819><c> starting</c><00:32:49.160><c> at</c><00:32:49.440><c> verse</c><00:32:49.859><c> 18</c><00:32:50.480><c> in</c><00:32:50.720><c> Genesis</c><00:32:51.119><c> chapter</c><00:32:51.480><c> 19.</c>

00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:11.400
Behold,<00:33:08.940><c> now,</c><00:33:09.079><c> the</c><00:33:09.200><c> city</c><00:33:09.380><c> is</c><00:33:09.599><c> near</c><00:33:09.819><c> to</c><00:33:09.980><c> flee</c><00:33:10.200><c> unto,</c><00:33:10.980><c> and</c><00:33:11.099><c> it</c><00:33:11.240><c> is</c>

00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:11.940
a<00:33:11.500><c> little</c><00:33:11.680><c> one.</c>

00:33:12.140 --> 00:33:13.740
Oh,<00:33:12.460><c> let</c><00:33:12.619><c> me</c><00:33:12.859><c> escape</c><00:33:13.299><c> thither.</c>

00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:16.519
Is<00:33:14.259><c> it</c><00:33:14.400><c> not</c><00:33:14.519><c> a</c><00:33:14.640><c> little</c><00:33:14.799><c> one,</c><00:33:15.039><c> and</c><00:33:15.200><c> my</c><00:33:15.480><c> soul</c><00:33:15.720><c> shall</c><00:33:15.980><c> live?</c>

00:33:16.980 --> 00:33:19.539
And<00:33:17.299><c> finally</c><00:33:17.500><c> the</c><00:33:17.700><c> angel</c><00:33:18.079><c> of</c><00:33:18.720><c> the</c><00:33:18.920><c> Lord</c><00:33:19.180><c> says,</c>

00:33:19.619 --> 00:33:22.259
See,<00:33:19.900><c> I</c><00:33:20.039><c> have</c><00:33:20.279><c> accepted</c><00:33:20.619><c> thee</c><00:33:20.880><c> concerning</c><00:33:21.339><c> this</c><00:33:21.660><c> thing</c><00:33:21.839><c> also,</c>

that<00:33:22.420><c> I</c><00:33:22.579><c> will</c><00:33:22.759><c> not</c><00:33:22.980><c> overthrow</c><00:33:23.319><c> this</c><00:33:23.599><c> city</c><00:33:23.819><c> for</c><00:33:24.039><c> the</c><00:33:24.200><c> which</c>

00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:27.220
Go<00:33:25.920><c> to</c><00:33:26.119><c> that</c><00:33:26.380><c> city.</c>

00:33:28.180 --> 00:33:32.640
Lot<00:33:28.759><c> had</c><00:33:28.980><c> just</c><00:33:29.259><c> escaped</c><00:33:29.859><c> the</c><00:33:30.099><c> destruction</c><00:33:30.660><c> of</c><00:33:30.940><c> Sodom</c><00:33:31.200><c> and</c><00:33:31.339><c> Gomorrah.</c>

00:33:33.019 --> 00:33:36.779
He<00:33:33.079><c> had</c><00:33:33.380><c> seen</c><00:33:33.880><c> terrible</c><00:33:34.779><c> judgments</c><00:33:35.259><c> of</c><00:33:35.559><c> God</c><00:33:36.019><c> meted</c><00:33:36.420><c> upon</c>

00:33:36.779 --> 00:33:38.299
those<00:33:37.099><c> cities,</c>

00:33:39.420 --> 00:33:41.799
and<00:33:40.000><c> he</c><00:33:40.140><c> was</c><00:33:40.359><c> fearful</c><00:33:40.700><c> of</c><00:33:40.960><c> death.</c>

00:33:42.700 --> 00:33:45.400
I<00:33:42.819><c> cannot</c><00:33:43.160><c> escape</c><00:33:43.619><c> to</c><00:33:43.799><c> the</c><00:33:43.960><c> mountain,</c><00:33:44.220><c> lest</c><00:33:44.539><c> some</c><00:33:44.779><c> evil</c><00:33:45.079><c> take</c>

00:33:46.539 --> 00:33:49.220
He<00:33:46.740><c> was</c><00:33:47.019><c> fearful</c><00:33:47.380><c> of</c><00:33:47.640><c> death</c><00:33:47.819><c> as</c><00:33:48.140><c> well.</c>

00:33:49.900 --> 00:33:52.380
And<00:33:50.079><c> again,</c><00:33:50.559><c> before</c><00:33:50.880><c> we</c><00:33:51.119><c> are</c><00:33:51.380><c> critical</c><00:33:51.839><c> of</c><00:33:52.119><c> Lot,</c>

00:33:52.380 --> 00:33:58.240

00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:01.279
are<00:33:58.839><c> we</c><00:33:59.119><c> fearful</c><00:33:59.440><c> of</c><00:33:59.700><c> death</c><00:33:59.980><c> as</c><00:34:00.420><c> well?</c>

00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:05.599
Another<00:34:02.599><c> example,</c><00:34:03.200><c> next</c><00:34:03.299><c> chapter</c><00:34:03.700><c> over,</c><00:34:04.359><c> chapter</c><00:34:04.519><c> 20.</c>

00:34:05.859 --> 00:34:11.000
This<00:34:06.079><c> is</c><00:34:06.319><c> the</c><00:34:06.460><c> example</c><00:34:06.940><c> of</c><00:34:07.400><c> Abraham</c><00:34:07.839><c> now</c><00:34:08.239><c> as</c><00:34:08.579><c> he</c><00:34:10.079><c> spends</c><00:34:10.360><c> time</c>

00:34:21.099 --> 00:34:23.840
And<00:34:21.480><c> we</c><00:34:21.719><c> will</c><00:34:21.960><c> talk</c><00:34:22.199><c> about</c><00:34:22.480><c> this</c><00:34:22.820><c> a</c><00:34:22.940><c> little</c><00:34:23.079><c> bit</c><00:34:23.260><c> later</c><00:34:23.480><c> on</c><00:34:23.679><c> in</c>
