The<00:10:51.580><c> truth</c><00:10:52.059><c> is</c><00:10:52.299><c> being</c><00:10:52.659><c> assaulted</c><00:10:53.360><c> and</c><00:10:54.080><c> assailed</c><00:10:54.460><c> from</c><00:10:54.820><c> every</c>

00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:23.019
We<00:11:19.919><c> need</c><00:11:20.220><c> to</c><00:11:20.519><c> remind</c><00:11:20.840><c> ourselves</c><00:11:21.419><c> that</c><00:11:21.659><c> we</c><00:11:21.980><c> look</c><00:11:22.179><c> for</c><00:11:22.460><c> a</c><00:11:22.620><c> city</c>

00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:38.980
We'll<00:11:36.179><c> see</c><00:11:36.440><c> this</c><00:11:36.679><c> in</c><00:11:36.879><c> a</c><00:11:37.019><c> little</c><00:11:37.259><c> detail</c><00:11:37.860><c> that's</c><00:11:38.440><c> going</c><00:11:38.559><c> to</c><00:11:38.659><c> come</c><00:11:38.820><c> out</c>

00:11:38.980 --> 00:11:40.139
in<00:11:39.179><c> a</c><00:11:39.279><c> moment.</c>

00:11:41.259 --> 00:11:44.840
I<00:11:41.399><c> got</c><00:11:41.539><c> off</c><00:11:41.799><c> track</c><00:11:41.980><c> there.</c><00:11:43.100><c> Sometimes,</c><00:11:43.580><c> you</c><00:11:43.740><c> know,</c><00:11:44.320><c> you</c><00:11:44.620><c> feel</c>

00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:46.399
you've<00:11:45.179><c> got</c><00:11:45.279><c> to</c><00:11:45.440><c> say</c><00:11:45.580><c> something.</c>

00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:51.259
It<00:11:48.799><c> was</c><00:11:49.059><c> a</c><00:11:49.220><c> period</c><00:11:49.720><c> of</c><00:11:50.580><c> dedication.</c>

00:11:51.259 --> 00:11:57.120
You<00:11:51.840><c> know,</c><00:11:54.419><c> 70</c><00:11:54.639><c> bullocks</c><00:11:54.980><c> were</c><00:11:55.240><c> offered</c><00:11:55.700><c> as</c><00:11:56.360><c> burnt</c><00:11:56.600><c> offerings,</c>

00:11:57.539 --> 00:12:01.700

00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.220
So<00:12:02.580><c> it</c><00:12:02.700><c> was</c><00:12:02.940><c> a</c><00:12:03.120><c> period</c><00:12:03.340><c> of</c><00:12:03.620><c> dedication.</c><00:12:04.559><c> We'll</c><00:12:04.700><c> look</c><00:12:04.919><c> at</c><00:12:05.000><c> that</c>

00:12:05.220 --> 00:12:06.320

00:12:06.460 --> 00:12:09.600
But<00:12:06.600><c> it</c><00:12:06.700><c> was</c><00:12:06.860><c> also</c><00:12:07.179><c> a</c><00:12:07.419><c> period</c><00:12:07.539><c> of</c><00:12:08.360><c> separation.</c><00:12:08.960><c> Just</c><00:12:09.179><c> look</c><00:12:09.419><c> at</c>

00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:14.059
Leviticus,<00:12:10.600><c> chapter</c><00:12:11.259><c> 23</c><00:12:11.960><c> again.</c>

Verse<00:12:18.240><c> 42.</c>

00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:43.019
So<00:12:39.080><c> not</c><00:12:40.120><c> everybody</c><00:12:40.679><c> dwelt</c><00:12:41.039><c> in</c><00:12:41.340><c> booths</c><00:12:41.559><c> during</c><00:12:41.820><c> that</c><00:12:42.039><c> period.</c>

00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:47.360
It<00:12:43.799><c> was</c><00:12:44.019><c> only</c><00:12:44.360><c> home</c><00:12:44.960><c>-born</c><00:12:45.960><c> Israelites.</c>

00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:51.580
Now,<00:12:47.899><c> that</c><00:12:47.940><c> didn't</c><00:12:48.240><c> mean,</c><00:12:49.279><c> that</c><00:12:49.559><c> didn't</c><00:12:49.879><c> mean,</c><00:12:50.299><c> brethren</c><00:12:50.440><c> and</c><00:12:50.679><c> sisters,</c>

00:12:57.299 --> 00:13:00.200
We'll<00:12:57.580><c> look</c><00:12:57.799><c> at</c><00:12:57.899><c> that</c><00:12:58.080><c> again</c><00:12:58.379><c> in</c><00:12:58.740><c> a</c><00:12:58.879><c> moment.</c><00:12:59.480><c> We're</c><00:13:00.080><c> just</c>

That<00:14:49.720><c> was</c><00:14:49.980><c> the</c><00:14:50.220><c> problem.</c>

00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.220
They<00:14:51.419><c> weren't</c><00:14:51.700><c> looking</c><00:14:52.080><c> for</c><00:14:52.360><c> a</c><00:14:52.500><c> city</c><00:14:52.700><c> to</c><00:14:52.899><c> that</c><00:14:53.039><c> foundation.</c>

00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.759

00:14:59.379 --> 00:15:07.840
You<00:14:59.539><c> see</c><00:14:59.679><c> how</c><00:14:59.960><c> they'd</c><00:15:00.620><c> become</c><00:15:01.519><c> non</c><00:15:03.500><c>-Jewish</c><00:15:05.539><c> as</c><00:15:05.919><c> far</c><00:15:06.139><c> as</c><00:15:06.340><c> Abraham</c><00:15:06.559><c> was</c><00:15:06.840><c> concerned.</c>

00:15:08.779 --> 00:15:11.480

00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:19.480
Now,<00:15:14.740><c> what</c><00:15:14.899><c> does</c><00:15:15.100><c> this</c><00:15:16.240><c> term</c><00:15:16.980><c> home</c><00:15:17.759><c>-born</c><00:15:18.059><c> Jews</c><00:15:18.500><c> mean?</c>

00:15:19.740 --> 00:15:24.940
Well,<00:15:20.299><c> there's</c><00:15:20.500><c> a</c><00:15:20.759><c> passage</c><00:15:21.259><c> which</c><00:15:23.139><c> helps</c><00:15:23.399><c> us</c><00:15:23.679><c> to</c><00:15:23.940><c> understand</c><00:15:24.340><c> this.</c>

You<00:15:25.379><c> come</c><00:15:25.600><c> across</c><00:15:25.879><c> it</c><00:15:26.240><c> periodically.</c>

00:15:27.659 --> 00:15:30.539
If<00:15:27.759><c> you</c><00:15:27.840><c> wanted</c><00:15:27.980><c> to</c><00:15:28.259><c> trace</c><00:15:28.480><c> it</c><00:15:28.759><c> with</c><00:15:28.940><c> a</c><00:15:29.080><c> concordance,</c><00:15:29.919><c> you</c><00:15:30.299><c> can</c>

do<00:15:30.779><c> that.</c>

00:15:31.580 --> 00:15:35.460
But<00:15:31.840><c> it's</c><00:15:32.039><c> in</c><00:15:32.259><c> Exodus</c><00:15:32.639><c> chapter</c><00:15:33.039><c> 12</c><00:15:33.620><c> which</c><00:15:34.639><c> really</c><00:15:35.000><c> gives</c><00:15:35.220><c> us</c>

00:23:34.940 --> 00:23:39.920
You<00:23:35.500><c> are</c><00:23:36.059><c> of</c><00:23:36.259><c> your</c><00:23:36.619><c> father</c><00:23:37.160><c> the</c><00:23:37.839><c> devil,</c><00:23:39.180><c> and</c><00:23:39.299><c> the</c><00:23:39.480><c> lusts</c><00:23:39.880><c> of</c>

your<00:23:40.200><c> father</c><00:23:40.660><c> you</c><00:23:41.380><c> will</c><00:23:41.720><c> do.</c>

00:23:43.660 --> 00:23:46.640
So<00:23:43.960><c> here</c><00:23:44.660><c> we</c><00:23:44.819><c> have</c><00:23:45.059><c> a</c><00:23:45.200><c> situation,</c><00:23:46.119><c> brethren</c><00:23:46.240><c> and</c><00:23:46.519><c> sisters,</c>

00:23:46.700 --> 00:23:51.339
in<00:23:46.960><c> the</c><00:23:47.299><c> discussion</c><00:23:47.619><c> in</c><00:23:48.519><c> the</c><00:23:48.880><c> context</c><00:23:49.339><c> of</c><00:23:49.579><c> the</c><00:23:49.720><c> Feast</c><00:23:49.960><c> of</c><00:23:50.160><c> Tabernacles,</c>

00:23:51.819 --> 00:23:54.299
where<00:23:51.960><c> they</c><00:23:52.099><c> were</c><00:23:52.299><c> trying</c><00:23:52.460><c> to</c><00:23:52.700><c> figure</c><00:23:52.880><c> out</c><00:23:53.539><c> whose</c><00:23:53.880><c> children</c>

00:23:54.299 --> 00:23:54.839
they<00:23:54.579><c> were.</c>

00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:59.180
They<00:23:55.220><c> were</c><00:23:55.359><c> going</c><00:23:55.579><c> through</c><00:23:55.859><c> the</c><00:23:56.079><c> motions</c><00:23:56.500><c> of</c><00:23:56.779><c> keeping</c><00:23:57.180><c> the</c><00:23:57.740><c> Feast</c><00:23:58.119><c> of</c><00:23:58.359><c> Tabernacles.</c>

00:23:59.180 --> 00:24:02.960
They<00:24:00.039><c> had</c><00:24:01.119><c> pitched</c><00:24:01.339><c> their</c><00:24:01.680><c> tents,</c><00:24:02.119><c> their</c><00:24:02.240><c> little</c><00:24:02.500><c> booths,</c>

00:24:03.140 --> 00:24:05.259
anywhere<00:24:03.380><c> in</c><00:24:03.559><c> Jerusalem</c><00:24:03.960><c> where</c><00:24:04.180><c> they</c><00:24:04.400><c> could.</c>

00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:08.640
But<00:24:06.440><c> it</c><00:24:06.880><c> was</c><00:24:07.619><c> a</c><00:24:07.839><c> sham.</c>

00:24:08.700 --> 00:24:10.720
It<00:24:08.819><c> was</c><00:24:09.079><c> of</c><00:24:09.299><c> no</c><00:24:09.599><c> avail.</c>

00:24:11.500 --> 00:24:18.000
Because<00:24:12.220><c> spiritually</c><00:24:12.940><c> they</c><00:24:14.019><c> were</c><00:24:14.299><c> decadent</c><00:24:14.980><c> and</c><00:24:15.720><c> it</c><00:24:16.500><c> was</c><00:24:16.759><c> all</c><00:24:17.000><c> lies.</c>

00:24:22.539 --> 00:24:25.400
Now,<00:24:23.259><c> I've</c><00:24:23.980><c> got</c><00:24:24.079><c> it</c><00:24:24.220><c> all</c><00:24:24.380><c> there.</c>

00:24:25.940 --> 00:24:27.480
I've<00:24:26.339><c> got</c><00:24:26.380><c> ahead</c><00:24:26.579><c> of</c><00:24:26.700><c> myself</c><00:24:27.019><c> there.</c>

00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:28.960
Now<00:24:28.140><c> look</c><00:24:28.400><c> what</c><00:24:28.559><c> it</c><00:24:28.660><c> says.</c>

00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.839
Only<00:24:29.380><c> home</c><00:24:29.900><c>-born</c><00:24:30.119><c> Jews</c><00:24:30.880><c> kept</c><00:24:31.680><c> the</c><00:24:31.900><c> Feast</c><00:24:32.140><c> of</c><00:24:32.359><c> Tabernacles,</c>

00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:38.000
yet<00:24:33.839><c> rejection</c><00:24:35.019><c> was</c><00:24:35.400><c> based</c><00:24:35.740><c> upon</c><00:24:36.039><c> ignoring</c><00:24:36.640><c> God's</c><00:24:37.160><c> Word.</c>

00:24:38.779 --> 00:24:42.000
So<00:24:39.079><c> even</c><00:24:39.880><c> if</c><00:24:40.000><c> you</c><00:24:40.180><c> were</c><00:24:40.339><c> in</c><00:24:40.539><c> covenant</c><00:24:40.799><c> relationship</c><00:24:41.539><c> and</c><00:24:41.740><c> you</c>

00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:43.720
ignored<00:24:42.240><c> God's</c><00:24:42.759><c> Word,</c>

00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:48.900
you<00:24:44.359><c> were</c><00:24:44.599><c> no</c><00:24:44.819><c> better</c><00:24:45.039><c> than</c><00:24:45.259><c> the</c><00:24:45.559><c> stranger</c><00:24:46.240><c> outside</c><00:24:47.460><c> of</c><00:24:47.720><c> the</c><00:24:47.859><c> covenant.</c>

00:24:49.660 --> 00:24:54.160
Baptism<00:24:50.140><c> is</c><00:24:50.420><c> no</c><00:24:50.680><c> guarantee,</c><00:24:52.200><c> and</c><00:24:52.339><c> we</c><00:24:52.500><c> need</c><00:24:52.720><c> to</c><00:24:53.039><c> emphasize</c><00:24:53.539><c> this,</c>

00:24:54.180 --> 00:24:56.140
particularly<00:24:54.799><c> to</c><00:24:55.119><c> our</c><00:24:55.359><c> young</c><00:24:55.619><c> people,</c>

00:24:56.140 --> 00:25:00.460
particularly<00:24:57.099><c> to</c><00:24:57.420><c> those</c><00:24:57.640><c> that</c><00:24:57.799><c> we</c><00:24:57.940><c> are</c><00:24:58.240><c> teaching</c><00:24:58.660><c> the</c><00:24:58.960><c> truth</c><00:24:59.220><c> to.</c>

00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:06.539
Baptism<00:25:01.480><c> is</c><00:25:02.119><c> not</c><00:25:02.619><c> the</c><00:25:02.900><c> guarantee</c><00:25:03.579><c> that</c><00:25:04.220><c> we</c><00:25:04.440><c> will</c><00:25:04.680><c> be</c><00:25:04.880><c> sons</c><00:25:05.200><c> of</c><00:25:05.480><c> God.</c>

00:25:06.779 --> 00:25:10.240
Paul<00:25:07.079><c> says</c><00:25:07.440><c> in</c><00:25:07.640><c> 2</c><00:25:07.940><c> Corinthians</c><00:25:08.420><c> 5</c><00:25:08.880><c> and</c><00:25:09.059><c> verse</c><00:25:09.259><c> 17,</c>

00:25:10.259 --> 00:25:14.880
if<00:25:10.299><c> any</c><00:25:10.740><c> man</c><00:25:10.920><c> be</c><00:25:11.160><c> in</c><00:25:11.480><c> Christ</c><00:25:11.880><c> Jesus,</c><00:25:12.779><c> he</c><00:25:12.940><c> is</c><00:25:13.259><c> a</c><00:25:13.400><c> new</c><00:25:13.660><c> creation.</c>

00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:20.019
So<00:25:16.660><c> baptism</c><00:25:17.079><c> is</c><00:25:17.359><c> the</c><00:25:17.640><c> first</c><00:25:18.059><c> step</c><00:25:18.559><c> to</c><00:25:18.980><c> change.</c>

00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:22.559
Our<00:25:20.519><c> lives</c><00:25:20.920><c> have</c><00:25:21.140><c> got</c><00:25:21.319><c> to</c><00:25:21.539><c> change.</c>

00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:26.640
We've<00:25:23.720><c> got</c><00:25:23.819><c> to</c><00:25:23.980><c> do</c><00:25:24.079><c> a</c><00:25:24.359><c> turnaround</c><00:25:24.779><c> in</c><00:25:25.160><c> our</c><00:25:25.380><c> life.</c>

00:25:28.140 --> 00:25:30.960
And<00:25:28.279><c> being</c><00:25:28.579><c> in</c><00:25:28.819><c> Christ</c><00:25:29.099><c> means</c><00:25:29.420><c> this</c><00:25:29.680><c> new</c><00:25:29.900><c> creation.</c>

00:25:31.140 --> 00:25:34.380
Children<00:25:31.500><c> of</c><00:25:31.799><c> Abraham</c><00:25:32.259><c> do</c><00:25:32.940><c> his</c><00:25:33.339><c> works.</c>

00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:38.160
And<00:25:35.119><c> Abraham,</c><00:25:35.500><c> it</c><00:25:35.660><c> says</c><00:25:35.960><c> of</c><00:25:36.140><c> him</c><00:25:36.400><c> in</c><00:25:36.500><c> Hebrews</c><00:25:36.880><c> 11,</c><00:25:37.480><c> verse</c><00:25:37.680><c> 10,</c>

00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:42.380
if<00:25:38.680><c> he</c><00:25:38.940><c> had</c><00:25:39.119><c> been</c><00:25:39.539><c> mindful</c><00:25:40.319><c> of</c><00:25:40.839><c> the</c><00:25:41.099><c> country</c><00:25:41.519><c> from</c><00:25:41.819><c> whence</c><00:25:42.259><c> he</c>

00:25:42.380 --> 00:25:43.119
came<00:25:42.680><c> out,</c>

00:25:43.180 --> 00:25:44.980
he<00:25:43.440><c> would</c><00:25:43.680><c> have</c><00:25:43.900><c> returned.</c>

00:25:45.619 --> 00:25:47.079
Now<00:25:45.900><c> think</c><00:25:46.119><c> about</c><00:25:46.440><c> that.</c>

00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:51.140
How<00:25:47.960><c> many</c><00:25:48.299><c> of</c><00:25:48.480><c> us,</c><00:25:48.700><c> brethren</c><00:25:48.920><c> and</c><00:25:49.160><c> sisters,</c><00:25:50.359><c> keep</c><00:25:50.599><c> going</c><00:25:50.859><c> back</c>

00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:54.420
That<00:25:52.240><c> was</c><00:25:52.500><c> Lot's</c><00:25:52.900><c> problem,</c><00:25:53.279><c> wasn't</c><00:25:53.480><c> it?</c>

00:25:55.019 --> 00:25:59.200
It<00:25:55.180><c> wasn't</c><00:25:55.519><c> just</c><00:25:55.920><c> that</c><00:25:56.079><c> he</c><00:25:56.200><c> saw</c><00:25:56.440><c> the</c><00:25:56.700><c> well</c><00:25:57.000><c>-watered</c><00:25:57.539><c> plains</c><00:25:57.859><c> of</c><00:25:58.160><c> Jordan.</c>

00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:05.259
It<00:26:00.180><c> says</c><00:26:00.460><c> in</c><00:26:00.640><c> the</c><00:26:00.799><c> record</c><00:26:01.400><c> it</c><00:26:02.099><c> was</c><00:26:02.420><c> like</c><00:26:02.960><c> the</c><00:26:03.299><c> land</c><00:26:03.819><c> of</c><00:26:04.200><c> Egypt.</c>

00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.980
And<00:26:05.799><c> he'd</c><00:26:06.079><c> lived</c><00:26:06.220><c> there</c><00:26:06.559><c> with</c><00:26:06.839><c> Abraham,</c><00:26:08.039><c> and</c><00:26:08.220><c> he'd</c><00:26:08.440><c> come</c><00:26:08.640><c> out</c>

00:26:08.980 --> 00:26:10.359
very<00:26:09.380><c> wealthy.</c>

00:26:10.859 --> 00:26:13.180
And<00:26:11.440><c> he</c><00:26:11.619><c> wanted</c><00:26:12.019><c> more.</c>

00:26:13.539 --> 00:26:16.579
And<00:26:13.680><c> he</c><00:26:13.799><c> got</c><00:26:13.980><c> embroiled</c><00:26:14.500><c> in</c><00:26:14.779><c> Sodom</c><00:26:15.059><c> and</c><00:26:15.220><c> Gomorrah.</c>

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:19.000
And<00:26:17.359><c> we're</c><00:26:17.559><c> not</c><00:26:17.819><c> always</c><00:26:18.200><c> like</c><00:26:18.539><c> Abraham.</c>
