00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:40.820
We<00:10:37.100><c> just</c><00:10:37.519><c> throw</c><00:10:37.700><c> it</c><00:10:38.019><c> in</c><00:10:38.480><c> as</c><00:10:38.879><c> a</c><00:10:39.059><c> sort</c><00:10:39.220><c> of</c><00:10:39.539><c> space</c><00:10:39.879><c> filler</c><00:10:40.100><c> in</c><00:10:40.320><c> the</c><00:10:40.480><c> sentence.</c>

00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:42.600
Now,<00:10:41.200><c> the</c><00:10:41.279><c> Bible</c><00:10:41.500><c> doesn't</c><00:10:41.799><c> do</c><00:10:42.039><c> that.</c>

The<00:10:43.080><c> Bible</c><00:10:43.379><c> uses</c><00:10:43.700><c> it</c><00:10:44.440><c> strictly,</c><00:10:44.799><c> I</c><00:10:45.019><c> think,</c><00:10:45.279><c> in</c><00:10:45.480><c> terms</c><00:10:45.820><c> of</c><00:10:46.139><c> measure.</c>

00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:51.879
So<00:10:47.360><c> I</c><00:10:47.440><c> think</c><00:10:47.639><c> this</c><00:10:47.799><c> is</c><00:10:48.000><c> 49</c><00:10:48.460><c> years</c><00:10:49.019><c> then</c><00:10:49.740><c> after</c><00:10:50.519><c> that,</c><00:10:51.120><c> following</c><00:10:51.379><c> on</c><00:10:51.720><c> from</c>

But<00:10:58.960><c> that</c><00:10:59.299><c> 50th</c><00:10:59.820><c> year</c><00:11:00.139><c> would</c><00:11:00.360><c> be</c><00:11:00.960><c> 49</c><00:11:01.600><c> and</c><00:11:01.860><c> a</c><00:11:02.019><c> half</c><00:11:02.240><c> years</c><00:11:02.639><c> in</c><00:11:02.840><c> terms</c><00:11:03.139><c> of</c>

00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:12.159
And<00:11:09.279><c> so</c><00:11:09.580><c> verse</c><00:11:09.860><c> 10</c><00:11:10.360><c> now</c><00:11:10.700><c> becomes</c><00:11:11.120><c> more</c><00:11:11.539><c> intelligible.</c>

00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:16.799
Ye<00:11:12.559><c> shall</c><00:11:12.779><c> hallow</c><00:11:13.200><c> the</c><00:11:13.679><c> 50th</c><00:11:14.539><c> year</c><00:11:14.960><c> and</c><00:11:15.679><c> proclaim</c><00:11:16.139><c> liberty</c>

00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.340
It<00:11:21.120><c> shall</c><00:11:21.259><c> be</c><00:11:21.480><c> a</c><00:11:21.720><c> jubilee</c><00:11:22.399><c> unto</c><00:11:22.820><c> you.</c>

00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:29.259
And<00:11:24.559><c> ye</c><00:11:25.059><c> shall</c><00:11:25.279><c> return</c><00:11:25.899><c> every</c><00:11:26.399><c> man</c><00:11:27.059><c> unto</c><00:11:27.580><c> his</c><00:11:28.120><c> possession.</c>

00:11:30.259 --> 00:11:34.740
So<00:11:30.779><c> that's</c><00:11:31.200><c> what's</c><00:11:31.659><c> different</c><00:11:32.019><c> now</c><00:11:32.440><c> about</c><00:11:32.799><c> this</c><00:11:33.080><c> year</c><00:11:33.299><c> of</c><00:11:33.539><c> jubilee.</c>

00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.059
It's<00:11:35.360><c> similar</c><00:11:35.700><c> to</c><00:11:35.899><c> the</c><00:11:36.159><c> Sabbath</c><00:11:36.379><c> year.</c>

00:11:37.299 --> 00:11:39.799
It<00:11:37.500><c> is</c><00:11:37.759><c> again</c><00:11:38.100><c> a</c><00:11:38.220><c> year</c><00:11:38.460><c> of</c><00:11:38.820><c> release.</c>

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.039
But<00:11:40.139><c> whereas</c><00:11:40.419><c> we've</c><00:11:40.659><c> looked</c><00:11:40.879><c> at</c><00:11:41.039><c> the</c><00:11:41.240><c> terms</c><00:11:41.460><c> of</c><00:11:42.080><c> in</c><00:11:42.500><c> terms</c><00:11:42.840><c> of</c>

00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.659
the<00:11:43.220><c> weekly</c><00:11:43.539><c> Sabbath</c><00:11:43.940><c> being</c><00:11:44.399><c> rest,</c>

00:11:46.100 --> 00:11:50.019
the<00:11:46.340><c> Sabbath</c><00:11:46.659><c> year</c><00:11:47.000><c> being</c><00:11:47.460><c> release,</c><00:11:48.960><c> the</c><00:11:49.139><c> year</c><00:11:49.360><c> of</c><00:11:49.600><c> jubilee,</c>

00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.360
brethren<00:11:50.299><c> and</c><00:11:50.580><c> sisters,</c><00:11:50.899><c> is</c><00:11:51.139><c> about</c><00:11:51.899><c> restoration.</c>

00:11:53.799 --> 00:12:00.080
So<00:11:54.419><c> we</c><00:11:54.580><c> have</c><00:11:54.799><c> three</c><00:11:55.059><c> things</c><00:11:55.419><c> there</c><00:11:55.639><c> now,</c><00:11:55.980><c> rest,</c><00:11:57.139><c> release,</c><00:11:58.379><c> and</c><00:11:58.720><c> restoration.</c>

00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:04.139
And<00:12:01.000><c> that's</c><00:12:01.259><c> what</c><00:12:01.519><c> the</c><00:12:01.740><c> jubilee</c><00:12:02.360><c> is</c><00:12:02.799><c> about</c><00:12:03.360><c> particularly.</c>

00:12:04.580 --> 00:12:08.500
It's<00:12:04.840><c> about</c><00:12:05.139><c> the</c><00:12:05.379><c> time</c><00:12:05.620><c> when</c><00:12:05.940><c> land</c><00:12:06.340><c> was</c><00:12:06.600><c> to</c><00:12:06.840><c> be</c><00:12:07.240><c> restored</c><00:12:08.039><c> to</c>

00:12:08.500 --> 00:12:10.460
the<00:12:08.659><c> men</c><00:12:08.779><c> and</c><00:12:08.940><c> women</c><00:12:09.159><c> of</c><00:12:09.360><c> Israel.</c>

00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:13.240
Interesting,<00:12:12.620><c> isn't</c><00:12:12.740><c> it?</c>

00:12:13.580 --> 00:12:17.899
I<00:12:13.799><c> wonder</c><00:12:14.000><c> what</c><00:12:14.659><c> people</c><00:12:15.039><c> in</c><00:12:15.159><c> Israel</c><00:12:15.620><c> made</c><00:12:16.360><c> of</c><00:12:16.720><c> that.</c>

00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:23.460
Just<00:12:19.399><c> stop</c><00:12:19.659><c> to</c><00:12:19.879><c> think</c><00:12:20.100><c> for</c><00:12:20.379><c> a</c><00:12:20.519><c> few</c><00:12:20.620><c> moments</c><00:12:21.019><c> about</c><00:12:21.399><c> some</c><00:12:21.620><c> of</c><00:12:21.820><c> the</c><00:12:22.019><c> implications</c><00:12:22.799><c> of</c>

00:12:23.460 --> 00:12:27.120
giving<00:12:23.820><c> back</c><00:12:24.480><c> land</c><00:12:25.259><c> in</c><00:12:25.799><c> that</c><00:12:26.100><c> way.</c>

00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:30.899
I<00:12:27.659><c> imagine</c><00:12:28.139><c> at</c><00:12:28.659><c> different</c><00:12:28.960><c> periods</c><00:12:29.419><c> of</c><00:12:29.700><c> their</c><00:12:29.899><c> history</c><00:12:30.460><c> there</c>

00:12:30.899 --> 00:12:34.940
would<00:12:31.100><c> be</c><00:12:31.559><c> some</c><00:12:31.840><c> considerable</c><00:12:32.460><c> objection</c><00:12:33.080><c> to</c><00:12:33.419><c> that,</c><00:12:33.860><c> wouldn't</c><00:12:33.940><c> there?</c>

00:12:35.179 --> 00:12:39.639
How<00:12:35.460><c> had</c><00:12:35.620><c> people</c><00:12:35.980><c> come</c><00:12:36.299><c> to</c><00:12:36.799><c> lose</c><00:12:37.299><c> their</c><00:12:37.639><c> land</c><00:12:37.980><c> in</c><00:12:38.200><c> the</c><00:12:38.379><c> first</c><00:12:38.639><c> place?</c>

00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:42.460
Well,<00:12:41.039><c> he</c><00:12:41.100><c> was</c><00:12:41.299><c> just</c><00:12:41.559><c> downright</c><00:12:41.980><c> lazy.</c>

00:12:42.820 --> 00:12:44.639
You<00:12:42.960><c> know,</c><00:12:43.080><c> he</c><00:12:43.240><c> deserved</c><00:12:43.559><c> to</c><00:12:43.779><c> lose</c><00:12:43.899><c> it,</c><00:12:44.080><c> frankly.</c><00:12:44.360><c> He</c><00:12:44.500><c> never</c>

00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:46.899
did<00:12:44.799><c> anything.</c><00:12:45.100><c> He</c><00:12:45.220><c> never</c><00:12:45.460><c> tilled</c><00:12:45.720><c> it,</c><00:12:45.820><c> you</c><00:12:45.960><c> know.</c>

00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.779
Well,<00:12:48.740><c> he</c><00:12:48.840><c> got</c><00:12:49.000><c> into</c><00:12:49.259><c> debt.</c><00:12:49.539><c> It</c><00:12:49.600><c> was</c><00:12:49.740><c> his</c><00:12:49.919><c> own</c><00:12:50.220><c> stupid</c><00:12:50.620><c> fault.</c>

00:12:52.100 --> 00:12:55.100
Ran<00:12:52.240><c> up</c><00:12:52.460><c> a</c><00:12:52.600><c> whole</c><00:12:52.919><c> load</c><00:12:53.440><c> of</c><00:12:53.720><c> debts</c><00:12:54.019><c> and</c><00:12:54.159><c> had</c><00:12:54.340><c> to</c><00:12:54.519><c> sell</c><00:12:54.720><c> his</c><00:12:54.899><c> land</c>

00:12:55.100 --> 00:12:56.960

00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.360
But<00:12:57.980><c> it</c><00:12:58.080><c> really</c><00:12:58.299><c> didn't</c><00:12:58.539><c> matter,</c><00:12:59.059><c> brethren</c><00:12:59.200><c> and</c><00:12:59.460><c> sisters,</c><00:12:59.779><c> how</c><00:13:00.120><c> a</c>

00:13:03.539 --> 00:13:06.759
How<00:13:03.820><c> a</c><00:13:03.960><c> family</c><00:13:04.399><c> lost</c><00:13:04.740><c> its</c><00:13:05.000><c> land</c><00:13:05.220><c> was</c><00:13:05.460><c> immaterial.</c>

00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:10.620
Whether<00:13:07.539><c> it</c><00:13:07.759><c> was</c><00:13:07.940><c> through</c><00:13:08.279><c> idleness,</c><00:13:09.960><c> whether</c><00:13:10.139><c> it</c><00:13:10.379><c> was</c>

00:13:10.620 --> 00:13:12.100
through<00:13:11.019><c> debts,</c>

00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:16.919
whether<00:13:12.639><c> it</c><00:13:12.879><c> was</c><00:13:13.019><c> through</c><00:13:13.399><c> folly</c><00:13:13.759><c> and</c><00:13:14.259><c> stupidity</c><00:13:14.960><c> made</c><00:13:15.379><c> no</c><00:13:15.700><c> difference.</c>

00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:20.220
The<00:13:17.340><c> land</c><00:13:17.720><c> returned</c><00:13:18.299><c> to</c><00:13:18.519><c> them.</c><00:13:18.700><c> It</c><00:13:18.840><c> had</c><00:13:19.139><c> to</c><00:13:19.340><c> be</c><00:13:19.559><c> restored</c><00:13:19.980><c> to</c>

00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:28.820
So<00:13:24.039><c> even</c><00:13:24.460><c> though</c><00:13:25.019><c> some</c><00:13:25.259><c> in</c><00:13:25.419><c> Israel</c><00:13:25.759><c> might</c><00:13:26.100><c> have</c><00:13:26.320><c> been</c><00:13:27.120><c> inclined</c><00:13:27.860><c> to</c><00:13:28.500><c> say,</c>

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:32.100

00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:40.000
God<00:13:38.000><c> delights</c><00:13:38.679><c> in</c><00:13:39.019><c> mercy.</c>

00:13:40.700 --> 00:13:43.120
God<00:13:41.179><c> is</c><00:13:42.039><c> King.</c>

00:13:43.539 --> 00:13:47.779

It's<00:17:34.319><c> a</c><00:17:34.400><c> nice</c><00:17:34.680><c> thought.</c><00:17:35.059><c> It</c><00:17:35.319><c> may</c><00:17:35.559><c> be</c><00:17:35.839><c> so.</c>

00:19:16.500 --> 00:19:18.759

00:19:39.950 --> 00:19:43.109

So<00:19:48.109><c> there</c><00:19:48.369><c> is</c><00:19:48.609><c> an</c><00:19:49.069><c> excitation,</c><00:19:49.690><c> a</c><00:19:49.890><c> lesson</c><00:19:50.150><c> again,</c><00:19:50.609><c> that</c><00:19:50.809><c> arises</c><00:19:51.190><c> from</c>

00:19:54.769 --> 00:20:00.450

00:20:08.470 --> 00:20:12.450

00:21:25.109 --> 00:21:27.269
We<00:21:25.250><c> should</c><00:21:25.390><c> be</c><00:21:25.509><c> very</c><00:21:25.910><c> careful</c><00:21:26.390><c> about</c><00:21:26.750><c> that.</c>

00:21:27.430 --> 00:21:32.849
Sometimes<00:21:27.970><c> we're</c><00:21:28.670><c> apt</c><00:21:28.829><c> to</c><00:21:29.130><c> get</c><00:21:29.730><c> a</c><00:21:30.930><c> little</c><00:21:31.190><c> bit</c><00:21:31.450><c> excited</c><00:21:32.069><c> about</c>

Jewish<00:21:33.369><c> things.</c>

00:21:34.309 --> 00:21:38.390
And<00:21:34.529><c> perhaps</c><00:21:34.910><c> give</c><00:21:35.269><c> the</c><00:21:35.609><c> impression</c><00:21:36.230><c> that</c><00:21:36.609><c> we're</c><00:21:37.490><c> pro</c><00:21:37.869><c>-Israel</c>

00:21:41.710 --> 00:21:46.250
The<00:21:41.890><c> land</c><00:21:42.150><c> does</c><00:21:42.569><c> not</c><00:21:42.930><c> belong</c><00:21:43.490><c> to</c><00:21:43.769><c> Israel</c><00:21:44.210><c> by</c><00:21:44.529><c> any</c><00:21:45.049><c> inalienable</c><00:21:45.730><c> right.</c>

00:21:49.230 --> 00:21:51.769
It<00:21:49.730><c> belongs</c><00:21:50.329><c> to</c><00:21:50.670><c> God.</c>

00:21:52.269 --> 00:21:56.190
And<00:21:52.430><c> God</c><00:21:52.710><c> has</c><00:21:53.069><c> promised</c><00:21:53.750><c> that</c><00:21:54.009><c> he</c><00:21:54.150><c> will</c><00:21:54.430><c> give</c><00:21:54.670><c> it</c><00:21:55.190><c> to</c><00:21:55.609><c> Israel,</c>

00:21:58.170 --> 00:22:00.890
Present<00:21:58.450><c> day</c><00:21:58.690><c> Israel</c><00:21:59.109><c> won't</c><00:21:59.410><c> have</c><00:21:59.690><c> it.</c>

00:22:01.529 --> 00:22:04.710
They<00:22:01.710><c> won't</c><00:22:01.970><c> have</c><00:22:02.250><c> it.</c><00:22:02.490><c> They</c><00:22:02.650><c> will</c><00:22:02.950><c> be</c><00:22:03.809><c> dispersed.</c>

00:22:05.170 --> 00:22:09.150
They<00:22:05.329><c> will</c><00:22:05.569><c> be</c><00:22:05.809><c> evicted</c><00:22:06.410><c> because</c><00:22:07.170><c> they</c><00:22:07.369><c> are</c><00:22:07.609><c> not</c><00:22:07.809><c> a</c><00:22:08.029><c> godly</c><00:22:08.369><c> nation</c><00:22:08.829><c> by</c>

00:22:11.789 --> 00:22:14.369
There<00:22:12.009><c> will</c><00:22:12.309><c> be,</c><00:22:12.529><c> as</c><00:22:12.670><c> there</c><00:22:12.849><c> has</c><00:22:13.029><c> been</c><00:22:13.190><c> in</c><00:22:13.490><c> every</c><00:22:13.730><c> generation,</c>

00:22:14.630 --> 00:22:16.089

00:22:16.170 --> 00:22:18.970
And<00:22:16.430><c> God</c><00:22:16.670><c> will</c><00:22:17.069><c> save</c><00:22:17.509><c> that</c><00:22:17.910><c> faithful</c><00:22:18.349><c> remnant.</c>

00:22:19.230 --> 00:22:22.369
And<00:22:19.670><c> scripture</c><00:22:20.269><c> ably</c><00:22:20.849><c> shows</c><00:22:21.109><c> us</c><00:22:21.410><c> that.</c>

00:22:22.569 --> 00:22:27.410
But<00:22:22.569><c> Israel</c><00:22:23.109><c> as</c><00:22:23.450><c> a</c><00:22:23.630><c> nation</c><00:22:23.930><c> has</c><00:22:24.190><c> yet</c><00:22:24.450><c> to</c><00:22:24.750><c> face</c><00:22:25.130><c> unprecedented</c><00:22:26.269><c> distress.</c>

00:22:27.869 --> 00:22:30.089
Brother<00:22:28.009><c> Frank</c><00:22:28.309><c> was</c><00:22:28.549><c> reminding</c><00:22:28.849><c> us</c><00:22:29.069><c> last</c><00:22:29.309><c> night</c><00:22:29.609><c> of</c><00:22:29.769><c> some</c><00:22:29.970><c> of</c>

00:22:30.089 --> 00:22:31.670
those<00:22:30.470><c> exciting</c><00:22:31.109><c> prophecies.</c>

00:22:31.750 --> 00:22:33.950
Like,<00:22:31.990><c> for</c><00:22:32.230><c> example,</c><00:22:32.690><c> Zechariah</c><00:22:33.150><c> 14.</c>

00:22:34.329 --> 00:22:37.690
Which<00:22:34.650><c> show</c><00:22:34.869><c> that</c><00:22:35.029><c> there</c><00:22:35.230><c> is</c><00:22:35.470><c> yet</c><00:22:35.710><c> unprecedented</c><00:22:36.630><c> distress</c>

00:22:37.690 --> 00:22:39.670
for<00:22:38.289><c> Israel</c><00:22:38.690><c> of</c><00:22:38.890><c> the</c><00:22:39.069><c> present</c><00:22:39.289><c> day.</c>

00:22:39.809 --> 00:22:42.150
Because<00:22:40.250><c> they</c><00:22:40.529><c> believe</c><00:22:40.809><c> the</c><00:22:40.970><c> land</c><00:22:41.190><c> is</c><00:22:41.569><c> theirs.</c>

00:22:42.309 --> 00:22:44.589
And<00:22:42.490><c> they</c><00:22:42.670><c> don't</c><00:22:42.930><c> regard</c><00:22:43.289><c> it</c><00:22:43.549><c> as</c><00:22:43.829><c> God's.</c>

00:22:44.589 --> 00:22:48.089
And<00:22:45.049><c> they</c><00:22:45.210><c> have</c><00:22:45.410><c> therefore</c><00:22:45.789><c> to</c><00:22:45.970><c> be</c><00:22:46.150><c> humbled,</c><00:22:47.029><c> nay,</c><00:22:47.230><c> humiliated.</c>

00:22:48.349 --> 00:22:51.430
In<00:22:48.650><c> order</c><00:22:48.910><c> that</c><00:22:49.089><c> they</c><00:22:49.269><c> might</c><00:22:49.589><c> learn</c><00:22:50.109><c> that</c><00:22:50.430><c> lesson.</c>

00:22:51.490 --> 00:22:53.670
The<00:22:51.690><c> land</c><00:22:52.049><c> is</c><00:22:52.430><c> mine,</c><00:22:53.049><c> says</c><00:22:53.210><c> God.</c>

00:22:54.009 --> 00:22:58.190
You<00:22:54.230><c> are</c><00:22:54.549><c> strangers</c><00:22:55.069><c> and</c><00:22:55.650><c> sojourners</c><00:22:56.390><c> with</c><00:22:56.990><c> me.</c>

00:23:02.670 --> 00:23:07.089
Both<00:23:03.329><c> the</c><00:23:03.809><c> seventh,</c><00:23:04.549><c> the</c><00:23:04.589><c> Sabbath</c><00:23:04.869><c> year,</c><00:23:05.549><c> and</c><00:23:06.089><c> the</c><00:23:06.470><c> fiftieth,</c>

00:23:07.309 --> 00:23:09.049
the<00:23:07.329><c> year</c><00:23:07.589><c> of</c><00:23:07.809><c> Jubilee.</c>

00:23:09.410 --> 00:23:14.049
Would<00:23:09.589><c> provide</c><00:23:10.210><c> many</c><00:23:10.650><c> opportunities</c><00:23:11.609><c> for</c><00:23:12.230><c> the</c><00:23:12.369><c> men</c><00:23:12.490><c> and</c><00:23:12.630><c> women</c><00:23:12.869><c> of</c><00:23:13.130><c> Israel.</c>

00:23:14.589 --> 00:23:18.410
I<00:23:15.150><c> wonder</c><00:23:15.309><c> if</c><00:23:15.430><c> you've</c><00:23:15.650><c> ever</c><00:23:15.890><c> stopped</c><00:23:16.130><c> to</c><00:23:16.309><c> think</c><00:23:16.509><c> what</c><00:23:16.690><c> they</c><00:23:17.069><c> did.</c>

00:23:19.109 --> 00:23:22.750
What<00:23:19.269><c> would</c><00:23:19.509><c> you</c><00:23:19.730><c> do</c><00:23:20.630><c> with</c><00:23:21.329><c> a</c><00:23:21.509><c> year</c><00:23:21.710><c> off?</c>

00:23:23.269 --> 00:23:25.910
Now<00:23:23.589><c> there's</c><00:23:24.009><c> an</c><00:23:24.390><c> invitation,</c><00:23:25.109><c> brethren</c><00:23:25.210><c> and</c><00:23:25.450><c> sisters.</c>

00:23:26.349 --> 00:23:30.589
Think<00:23:26.609><c> what</c><00:23:26.789><c> you</c><00:23:27.069><c> could</c><00:23:27.349><c> do</c><00:23:27.750><c> with</c><00:23:28.029><c> a</c><00:23:28.529><c> year</c><00:23:28.990><c> off</c><00:23:29.430><c> work.</c>

00:23:30.910 --> 00:23:32.380
Splendid,<00:23:31.430><c> wouldn't</c><00:23:31.549><c> it?</c>

00:23:33.829 --> 00:23:37.589
Would<00:23:34.130><c> we</c><00:23:34.470><c> squander</c><00:23:34.869><c> it</c><00:23:35.289><c> on</c><00:23:35.549><c> our</c><00:23:35.750><c> own</c><00:23:36.009><c> selfish</c><00:23:36.390><c> ends?</c>

00:23:39.069 --> 00:23:41.130
The<00:23:39.390><c> holiday</c><00:23:39.609><c> of</c><00:23:39.829><c> a</c><00:23:40.009><c> lifetime?</c>

00:23:41.849 --> 00:23:44.230
A<00:23:41.950><c> twelve</c><00:23:42.269><c> month</c><00:23:42.670><c> long</c><00:23:43.069><c> cruise?</c>

00:23:45.349 --> 00:23:48.269
It's<00:23:45.930><c> not</c><00:23:46.109><c> that</c><00:23:46.430><c> sort</c><00:23:46.609><c> of</c><00:23:46.769><c> thing</c><00:23:46.930><c> that</c><00:23:47.130><c> Israel</c><00:23:47.509><c> were</c><00:23:47.789><c> able</c><00:23:48.009><c> to</c>

00:23:48.269 --> 00:23:50.170
indulge<00:23:48.690><c> in,</c><00:23:48.950><c> is</c><00:23:49.009><c> it?</c>

00:23:51.049 --> 00:23:54.769
Even<00:23:51.329><c> though</c><00:23:51.569><c> they</c><00:23:51.730><c> were</c><00:23:51.970><c> not</c><00:23:52.329><c> sowing</c><00:23:52.829><c> and</c><00:23:53.470><c> nurturing</c><00:23:54.150><c> and</c>

00:23:54.769 --> 00:23:57.089
harvesting<00:23:55.470><c> and</c><00:23:56.089><c> threshing.</c>

00:23:57.410 --> 00:24:01.769
They<00:23:57.710><c> were</c><00:23:58.089><c> nonetheless,</c><00:23:59.670><c> obliged</c><00:24:00.009><c> of</c><00:24:00.230><c> course</c><00:24:00.569><c> still,</c><00:24:01.529><c> to</c>

00:24:01.769 --> 00:24:03.549
care<00:24:01.970><c> for</c><00:24:02.170><c> their</c><00:24:02.369><c> animals.</c>

00:24:04.190 --> 00:24:06.890
So<00:24:04.430><c> the</c><00:24:04.589><c> majority</c><00:24:05.089><c> of</c><00:24:05.349><c> them</c><00:24:05.490><c> would</c><00:24:05.769><c> still</c><00:24:05.990><c> be</c><00:24:06.150><c> very</c><00:24:06.450><c> much</c><00:24:06.650><c> at</c>

00:24:06.890 --> 00:24:07.950
home,<00:24:07.289><c> wouldn't</c><00:24:07.490><c> they?</c>

00:24:08.190 --> 00:24:10.549
On<00:24:08.430><c> their</c><00:24:08.750><c> small</c><00:24:09.049><c> holdings.</c>

00:24:11.670 --> 00:24:16.049
Animals<00:24:12.430><c> don't</c><00:24:13.190><c> rest</c><00:24:13.650><c> and</c><00:24:13.950><c> don't</c><00:24:14.289><c> stop</c><00:24:14.710><c> needing</c><00:24:15.130><c> feeding,</c><00:24:15.609><c> do</c><00:24:15.769><c> they?</c>

00:24:16.130 --> 00:24:20.130
So<00:24:16.769><c> there'd</c><00:24:17.109><c> still</c><00:24:17.289><c> be</c><00:24:17.529><c> some</c><00:24:17.950><c> work</c><00:24:18.329><c> of</c><00:24:18.609><c> that</c><00:24:18.950><c> kind</c><00:24:19.369><c> to</c><00:24:19.670><c> do.</c>

00:24:20.549 --> 00:24:23.769

00:31:00.269 --> 00:31:02.950
There<00:31:00.390><c> was</c><00:31:00.549><c> no</c><00:31:00.769><c> commandment,</c><00:31:01.289><c> no</c><00:31:01.450><c> obligation</c><00:31:01.950><c> laid</c><00:31:02.150><c> upon</c><00:31:02.430><c> him</c>

to<00:31:03.450><c> rest.</c>

00:31:05.029 --> 00:31:07.769
So<00:31:05.230><c> he'd</c><00:31:05.490><c> be</c><00:31:05.609><c> able</c><00:31:05.809><c> to</c><00:31:06.069><c> sow</c><00:31:06.250><c> and</c><00:31:06.589><c> make</c><00:31:06.890><c> money</c>

00:31:07.950 --> 00:31:11.250
and<00:31:08.470><c> Israel</c><00:31:08.730><c> would</c><00:31:08.930><c> be</c><00:31:09.130><c> quick</c><00:31:09.349><c> to</c><00:31:09.589><c> cry</c><00:31:09.930><c> foul,</c><00:31:10.630><c> wouldn't</c><00:31:10.829><c> they?</c>

00:31:11.250 --> 00:31:14.309
It's<00:31:11.690><c> not</c><00:31:11.890><c> fair.</c><00:31:12.410><c> He</c><00:31:12.630><c> can</c><00:31:12.809><c> do</c><00:31:12.990><c> it</c><00:31:13.109><c> and</c><00:31:13.210><c> he</c><00:31:13.289><c> can</c><00:31:13.470><c> make</c><00:31:13.710><c> money</c><00:31:13.990><c> and</c>

00:31:14.309 --> 00:31:16.069
why<00:31:14.549><c> can't</c><00:31:14.930><c> I?</c>

00:31:17.430 --> 00:31:22.829
And<00:31:17.690><c> very</c><00:31:17.990><c> quickly,</c><00:31:18.990><c> men</c><00:31:19.170><c> and</c><00:31:19.309><c> women</c><00:31:19.589><c> are</c><00:31:20.009><c> drawn</c><00:31:20.650><c> into</c><00:31:21.430><c> temptation,</c><00:31:22.150><c> aren't</c><00:31:22.349><c> they?</c>

00:31:23.009 --> 00:31:25.309

00:31:25.609 --> 00:31:29.769
So<00:31:25.829><c> it</c><00:31:26.089><c> demanded</c><00:31:26.670><c> trust</c><00:31:27.210><c> and</c><00:31:27.569><c> confidence</c><00:31:28.049><c> that</c><00:31:28.329><c> God</c><00:31:28.710><c> was</c><00:31:29.009><c> everything</c><00:31:29.490><c> he</c>

00:31:59.569 --> 00:32:02.369
