It's<00:10:19.179><c> not</c><00:10:19.320><c> the</c><00:10:19.519><c> Jewish</c><00:10:19.919><c> calendar</c><00:10:20.639><c> of</c><00:10:21.440><c> the</c><00:10:21.679><c> religious</c><00:10:22.820><c> calendar,</c><00:10:24.720><c> which</c>

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:26.740
starts<00:10:25.379><c> in</c><00:10:25.740><c> Exodus.</c>

00:10:26.980 --> 00:10:32.259
It's<00:10:27.240><c> the</c><00:10:27.399><c> old</c><00:10:27.639><c> civil</c><00:10:28.019><c> calendar</c><00:10:28.639><c> that</c><00:10:29.320><c> the</c><00:10:30.360><c> flood</c><00:10:30.580><c> is</c><00:10:30.860><c> related</c><00:10:31.320><c> to.</c>

00:10:32.340 --> 00:10:36.379
And<00:10:32.500><c> that</c><00:10:33.000><c> makes</c><00:10:33.620><c> a</c><00:10:33.820><c> difference</c><00:10:34.240><c> in</c><00:10:34.840><c> knowing</c><00:10:35.340><c> what</c><00:10:36.019><c> happened</c>

00:10:36.379 --> 00:10:38.159
when<00:10:36.659><c> Noah</c><00:10:36.899><c> came</c><00:10:37.200><c> out</c><00:10:37.440><c> of</c><00:10:37.580><c> the</c><00:10:37.799><c> ark.</c>

00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.299
Check<00:10:38.820><c> it</c><00:10:39.019><c> out</c><00:10:39.179><c> for</c><00:10:39.340><c> yourself.</c>

00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:42.779
So,<00:10:40.700><c> go</c><00:10:41.019><c> change</c><00:10:41.600><c> the</c><00:10:41.919><c> calendar</c><00:10:42.320><c> year.</c>

00:10:42.779 --> 00:10:49.379
And<00:10:43.539><c> what</c><00:10:43.740><c> he</c><00:10:43.960><c> did,</c><00:10:45.059><c> he</c><00:10:45.559><c> made</c><00:10:45.960><c> it</c><00:10:46.320><c> so</c><00:10:46.519><c> that,</c><00:10:47.899><c> if</c><00:10:48.039><c> I'm</c><00:10:48.240><c> in</c><00:10:48.440><c> the</c><00:10:48.600><c> way,</c><00:10:48.940><c> just</c><00:10:48.980><c> tell</c><00:10:49.220><c> me</c>

00:10:49.379 --> 00:10:50.620
and<00:10:49.500><c> I</c><00:10:49.559><c> can</c><00:10:49.720><c> move</c><00:10:49.980><c> to</c><00:10:50.120><c> one</c><00:10:50.320><c> side.</c>

00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:56.340
I<00:10:50.919><c> think</c><00:10:51.240><c> what</c><00:10:52.340><c> we've</c><00:10:52.779><c> got</c><00:10:52.919><c> here</c><00:10:53.340><c> is</c><00:10:53.639><c> that</c><00:10:54.179><c> instead</c><00:10:54.659><c> of</c><00:10:55.059><c> Tishrai</c><00:10:55.879><c> being</c>

00:10:56.340 --> 00:10:59.679
the<00:10:56.759><c> first</c><00:10:57.820><c> month</c><00:10:58.279><c> of</c><00:10:58.500><c> the</c><00:10:58.679><c> year,</c>

00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:03.360
it<00:11:00.399><c> began</c><00:11:00.779><c> with</c><00:11:01.039><c> the</c><00:11:01.220><c> month</c><00:11:01.659><c> Abed,</c><00:11:02.360><c> or</c><00:11:02.539><c> as</c><00:11:02.639><c> it</c><00:11:02.799><c> became</c><00:11:03.019><c> known</c>

00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:04.539
as<00:11:03.620><c> Nisan.</c>

00:11:04.899 --> 00:11:09.840
So,<00:11:05.360><c> the</c><00:11:05.559><c> first</c><00:11:05.980><c> year,</c><00:11:06.639><c> the</c><00:11:06.899><c> first</c><00:11:07.200><c> month</c><00:11:07.440><c> of</c><00:11:07.700><c> the</c><00:11:08.100><c> new</c><00:11:08.759><c> calendar</c><00:11:09.299><c> year,</c>

00:11:10.179 --> 00:11:11.559
was<00:11:10.340><c> the</c><00:11:10.600><c> month</c><00:11:11.000><c> Abed.</c>

00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:19.120
So,<00:11:14.000><c> God</c><00:11:14.159><c> seems</c><00:11:14.639><c> to</c><00:11:14.980><c> have</c><00:11:16.240><c> changed</c><00:11:16.919><c> the</c><00:11:17.279><c> calendar</c><00:11:17.659><c> with</c><00:11:18.740><c> the</c>

intention<00:11:19.580><c> of</c><00:11:20.139><c> relating</c><00:11:20.659><c> the</c><00:11:21.080><c> calendar</c><00:11:21.519><c> year</c>

00:11:21.899 --> 00:11:30.259
and<00:11:22.259><c> the</c><00:11:22.679><c> activities</c><00:11:23.100><c> of</c><00:11:23.440><c> the</c><00:11:23.720><c> feast</c><00:11:24.200><c> in</c><00:11:25.600><c> relationship</c><00:11:26.519><c> to</c><00:11:27.700><c> the</c><00:11:28.139><c> harvests</c><00:11:28.840><c> of</c><00:11:29.200><c> Israel.</c>

00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:35.220
And<00:11:31.120><c> I</c><00:11:31.240><c> think</c><00:11:31.379><c> we'll</c><00:11:31.679><c> see</c><00:11:32.019><c> this</c><00:11:32.460><c> as</c><00:11:32.899><c> we</c><00:11:33.179><c> move</c><00:11:33.639><c> through</c><00:11:34.059><c> the</c><00:11:34.340><c> calendar.</c>

00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.320
The<00:11:35.840><c> feast</c><00:11:36.139><c> of</c><00:11:36.379><c> weeks,</c><00:11:36.659><c> of</c><00:11:36.940><c> course,</c><00:11:37.720><c> is</c><00:11:37.919><c> the</c><00:11:38.080><c> feast</c><00:11:38.320><c> of</c><00:11:38.620><c> Pentecost,</c>

00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.720
because<00:11:40.059><c> it</c><00:11:40.200><c> was</c><00:11:40.519><c> the</c><00:11:40.600><c> number</c><00:11:40.899><c> of</c><00:11:41.080><c> weeks</c><00:11:41.600><c> that</c><00:11:42.779><c> subsequently</c>

00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:45.840
followed<00:11:44.539><c> Passover.</c>

00:11:48.779 --> 00:11:54.179
So,<00:11:49.340><c> the</c><00:11:49.440><c> month</c><00:11:50.179><c> Abed</c><00:11:51.039><c> of</c><00:11:52.120><c> this</c><00:11:52.480><c> new</c><00:11:52.840><c> year</c><00:11:53.200><c> in</c><00:11:53.419><c> Exodus</c><00:11:53.779><c> chapter</c>

00:11:54.179 --> 00:11:57.720
12<00:11:55.019><c> signaled</c><00:11:56.019><c> the</c><00:11:56.379><c> beginnings</c><00:11:56.919><c> of</c><00:11:57.440><c> harvest.</c>

00:11:57.860 --> 00:12:01.240
And<00:11:58.000><c> you'll</c><00:11:58.220><c> notice</c><00:11:58.759><c> it</c><00:11:59.200><c> was</c><00:11:59.399><c> the</c><00:11:59.700><c> barley</c><00:12:00.059><c> harvest.</c>

00:12:01.539 --> 00:12:09.500
That's<00:12:01.899><c> why</c><00:12:02.259><c> when</c><00:12:02.980><c> Reha</c><00:12:04.600><c> hid</c><00:12:05.240><c> the</c><00:12:05.659><c> spies</c><00:12:06.259><c> on</c><00:12:06.759><c> the</c><00:12:07.000><c> roof,</c><00:12:09.139><c> she</c>

00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:10.659
covered<00:12:09.720><c> them</c><00:12:09.879><c> with</c><00:12:10.259><c> flax.</c>

00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:17.659
It<00:12:10.860><c> was</c><00:12:11.039><c> the</c><00:12:11.360><c> barley.</c><00:12:11.840><c> It</c><00:12:11.919><c> was</c><00:12:12.240><c> Passover</c><00:12:12.779><c> time</c><00:12:13.519><c> when</c><00:12:14.919><c> the</c><00:12:15.299><c> spies</c><00:12:15.559><c> entered</c><00:12:16.220><c> into</c><00:12:16.600><c> Jericho.</c>

00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:21.860
And<00:12:17.879><c> then</c><00:12:18.000><c> you</c><00:12:18.120><c> have</c><00:12:18.299><c> a</c><00:12:18.519><c> general</c><00:12:18.860><c> harvest,</c><00:12:19.879><c> then</c><00:12:20.179><c> vine</c><00:12:20.580><c>-tending,</c><00:12:21.679><c> then</c>

00:12:21.860 --> 00:12:23.659
you've<00:12:22.159><c> got</c><00:12:22.759><c> summer</c><00:12:23.279><c> fruit,</c>

00:12:23.779 --> 00:12:26.779

00:17:31.900 --> 00:17:39.220
We<00:17:32.720><c> are</c><00:17:33.099><c> impatient</c><00:17:33.740><c> because</c><00:17:34.859><c> we</c><00:17:35.259><c> want</c><00:17:35.500><c> things</c><00:17:35.819><c> to</c><00:17:36.019><c> be</c><00:17:36.240><c> happening</c><00:17:36.819><c> now.</c>

Now,<00:17:44.539><c> God</c><00:17:44.799><c> said</c><00:17:45.380><c> three</c><00:17:46.160><c> times</c><00:17:46.579><c> a</c><00:17:46.900><c> year</c><00:17:47.460><c> they</c><00:17:49.859><c> had</c><00:17:50.140><c> to</c><00:17:50.680><c> present</c>

And<00:20:52.119><c> then</c><00:20:52.279><c> he</c><00:20:52.500><c> repeats</c><00:20:52.980><c> it</c><00:20:53.519><c> in</c><00:20:53.680><c> verse</c><00:20:54.000><c> 9,</c><00:20:54.579><c> the</c><00:20:54.740><c> Lord</c><00:20:55.180><c> spake</c>

00:20:55.539 --> 00:20:56.359
unto<00:20:55.759><c> Moses,</c>

00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:59.640
and<00:20:56.720><c> he</c><00:20:56.819><c> talks</c><00:20:57.099><c> about</c><00:20:57.440><c> the</c><00:20:57.740><c> sheaf</c><00:20:58.000><c> of</c><00:20:58.180><c> the</c><00:20:58.400><c> firstfruits,</c><00:20:59.460><c> the</c>

00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:02.299
feast<00:20:59.880><c> of</c><00:21:00.140><c> weeks,</c><00:21:00.640><c> and</c><00:21:00.799><c> the</c><00:21:01.000><c> gleanings.</c>

00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:10.380
And<00:21:03.539><c> then</c><00:21:04.359><c> he</c><00:21:07.180><c> isolates</c><00:21:07.900><c> the</c><00:21:08.119><c> bloody</c><00:21:08.420><c> of</c><00:21:08.740><c> trumpets</c><00:21:09.279><c> by</c><00:21:09.619><c> this</c><00:21:09.980><c> comment,</c>

00:21:10.700 --> 00:21:13.880
the<00:21:11.000><c> day</c><00:21:11.279><c> of</c><00:21:11.519><c> atonement,</c><00:21:12.339><c> and</c><00:21:12.500><c> the</c><00:21:12.700><c> feast</c><00:21:12.940><c> of</c><00:21:13.259><c> tabernacles.</c>

00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:18.579
So<00:21:14.460><c> obviously</c><00:21:15.119><c> those</c><00:21:15.500><c> first</c><00:21:16.079><c> two</c><00:21:16.460><c> groups,</c><00:21:17.460><c> they</c><00:21:18.000><c> are</c><00:21:18.279><c> linked</c>

00:21:18.579 --> 00:21:21.440
together<00:21:19.380><c> in</c><00:21:20.059><c> their</c><00:21:20.319><c> activity.</c>

00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:25.640
So<00:21:22.700><c> we</c><00:21:22.920><c> need</c><00:21:23.259><c> to</c><00:21:23.500><c> be</c><00:21:23.720><c> conscious</c><00:21:24.079><c> of</c><00:21:24.339><c> these</c><00:21:24.640><c> little</c><00:21:24.859><c> details</c><00:21:25.380><c> in</c>

00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:29.319
Scripture<00:21:26.099><c> in</c><00:21:26.599><c> order</c><00:21:26.859><c> to</c><00:21:27.200><c> appreciate</c><00:21:27.720><c> what's</c><00:21:28.099><c> going</c><00:21:28.299><c> on.</c>

00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:35.660
The<00:21:29.480><c> first</c><00:21:29.859><c> three</c><00:21:30.259><c> items</c><00:21:31.539><c> are</c><00:21:31.980><c> linked</c><00:21:32.339><c> together,</c><00:21:33.700><c> as</c><00:21:34.059><c> are</c><00:21:35.000><c> the</c>

00:21:35.660 --> 00:21:36.680
second<00:21:36.319><c> three.</c>

00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:40.680
Now<00:21:37.480><c> the</c><00:21:37.680><c> interesting</c><00:21:38.079><c> thing</c><00:21:38.319><c> about</c><00:21:38.640><c> that</c><00:21:39.220><c> is</c><00:21:39.720><c> the</c><00:21:40.019><c> sheaf</c><00:21:40.400><c> of</c>

00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:45.200
the<00:21:40.900><c> firstfruits</c><00:21:41.700><c> is</c><00:21:42.200><c> actually</c><00:21:42.839><c> connected</c><00:21:43.740><c> with</c><00:21:44.119><c> Passover.</c>

00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:50.299
It's<00:21:47.079><c> an</c><00:21:47.299><c> event</c><00:21:47.640><c> which</c><00:21:47.940><c> is</c><00:21:48.259><c> connected</c><00:21:48.759><c> with</c><00:21:49.200><c> Passover,</c><00:21:50.160><c> but</c>

00:21:50.299 --> 00:21:51.819
in<00:21:50.500><c> the</c><00:21:50.759><c> linking,</c>

00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.619
those<00:21:54.039><c> sheaf</c><00:21:54.640><c> of</c><00:21:54.799><c> the</c><00:21:55.000><c> firstfruits</c><00:21:55.519><c> are</c><00:21:55.700><c> connected</c><00:21:56.160><c> with</c><00:21:56.440><c> the</c>

00:21:56.619 --> 00:21:58.440

00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:01.619
And<00:21:58.980><c> we'll</c><00:21:59.140><c> see</c><00:21:59.680><c> why</c><00:21:59.980><c> that</c><00:22:00.240><c> is</c><00:22:00.460><c> in</c><00:22:00.619><c> a</c><00:22:00.740><c> moment.</c>

00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.680
The<00:22:04.039><c> second</c><00:22:04.519><c> point,</c><00:22:04.900><c> which</c><00:22:05.140><c> is</c><00:22:05.400><c> worth</c><00:22:05.539><c> noting,</c>

00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:12.680
is<00:22:08.200><c> that</c><00:22:08.599><c> why</c><00:22:09.160><c> is</c><00:22:09.500><c> it</c><00:22:10.000><c> in</c><00:22:10.180><c> the</c><00:22:10.500><c> feast</c><00:22:10.819><c> that</c><00:22:11.079><c> the</c><00:22:11.380><c> Sabbath</c><00:22:11.779><c> is</c><00:22:12.500><c> at</c>

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:14.299
the<00:22:12.819><c> head</c><00:22:13.000><c> of</c><00:22:13.240><c> the</c><00:22:13.460><c> group?</c>

00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:17.519
Why<00:22:15.220><c> does</c><00:22:15.559><c> it</c><00:22:15.799><c> present</c><00:22:16.240><c> the</c><00:22:16.599><c> Sabbath?</c>

00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.079
And<00:22:18.920><c> I</c><00:22:19.059><c> think</c><00:22:19.200><c> it's</c><00:22:19.519><c> important,</c><00:22:20.019><c> you</c><00:22:20.240><c> remember</c><00:22:20.480><c> what</c><00:22:20.680><c> it</c><00:22:20.920><c> says</c>

00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:24.900

00:22:51.579 --> 00:22:57.000
And<00:22:52.240><c> ever</c><00:22:52.519><c> since</c><00:22:52.819><c> that</c><00:22:53.119><c> time,</c><00:22:53.779><c> God</c><00:22:53.960><c> has</c><00:22:54.119><c> been</c><00:22:54.359><c> waiting</c><00:22:54.960><c> for</c><00:22:56.220><c> mankind</c><00:22:56.700><c> to</c>

00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:04.380
God<00:22:59.279><c> entered</c><00:22:59.759><c> into</c><00:23:00.099><c> His</c><00:23:00.400><c> rest,</c><00:23:01.240><c> and</c><00:23:01.420><c> He's</c><00:23:01.640><c> invited</c><00:23:02.200><c> us</c><00:23:03.180><c> to</c><00:23:03.599><c> enter</c><00:23:04.000><c> in</c>

00:23:06.579 --> 00:23:11.059
So<00:23:07.240><c> what</c><00:23:07.900><c> we're</c><00:23:08.119><c> being</c><00:23:08.460><c> told</c><00:23:08.740><c> in</c><00:23:08.900><c> Leviticus</c><00:23:09.380><c> chapter</c><00:23:09.819><c> 23,</c>

That's<00:23:30.220><c> what</c><00:23:30.420><c> Paul</c><00:23:30.680><c> says,</c><00:23:31.039><c> isn't</c><00:23:31.240><c> it,</c><00:23:31.559><c> in</c><00:23:31.779><c> Hebrews</c><00:23:32.180><c> chapter</c><00:23:32.539><c> 4.</c>

And<00:30:11.759><c> so</c><00:30:11.900><c> we</c><00:30:12.380><c> have</c><00:30:12.759><c> details</c><00:30:13.460><c> which</c><00:30:14.700><c> blend</c><00:30:15.339><c> in</c><00:30:15.619><c> with</c><00:30:15.819><c> the</c><00:30:15.980><c> Lord</c>

00:30:16.140 --> 00:30:16.859
Jesus<00:30:16.559><c> Christ.</c>

00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:21.000
Now<00:30:17.059><c> just</c><00:30:17.220><c> go</c><00:30:17.460><c> back</c><00:30:17.700><c> with</c><00:30:17.940><c> me</c><00:30:18.359><c> to</c><00:30:18.740><c> Exodus</c><00:30:19.259><c> chapter</c><00:30:19.660><c> 12.</c>

00:30:21.779 --> 00:30:25.660
And<00:30:22.079><c> we've</c><00:30:22.599><c> got</c><00:30:22.779><c> other</c><00:30:23.079><c> little</c><00:30:23.359><c> details</c><00:30:23.900><c> there,</c><00:30:24.680><c> not</c><00:30:24.839><c> on</c><00:30:25.059><c> the</c><00:30:25.279><c> chart.</c>

00:30:25.660 --> 00:30:31.960
But<00:30:26.440><c> you'll</c><00:30:26.759><c> notice</c><00:30:27.140><c> in</c><00:30:27.400><c> Exodus</c><00:30:27.720><c> chapter</c><00:30:28.160><c> 12</c><00:30:29.039><c> and</c><00:30:29.400><c> verse</c><00:30:30.180><c> 13.</c>

00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:45.940
Well,<00:30:44.519><c> let's</c><00:30:44.740><c> look</c><00:30:44.900><c> at</c><00:30:44.980><c> verse</c><00:30:45.220><c> 12.</c>

00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:49.200
He<00:30:46.420><c> says,</c><00:30:46.700><c> I</c><00:30:46.700><c> will</c><00:30:46.960><c> pass</c><00:30:47.259><c> through</c><00:30:47.500><c> the</c><00:30:47.700><c> land</c><00:30:47.900><c> of</c><00:30:48.119><c> Egypt</c><00:30:48.339><c> this</c><00:30:48.680><c> night.</c>

00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.900
I<00:30:49.880><c> will</c><00:30:50.279><c> smite</c><00:30:50.640><c> all</c><00:30:50.920><c> the</c><00:30:51.200><c> firstborn</c><00:30:51.700><c> in</c><00:30:51.900><c> the</c><00:30:52.059><c> land</c><00:30:52.240><c> of</c><00:30:52.500><c> Egypt,</c>

00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:56.579
both<00:30:53.480><c> man</c><00:30:53.839><c> and</c><00:30:54.119><c> beast,</c><00:30:54.579><c> and</c><00:30:54.640><c> against</c><00:30:54.960><c> all</c><00:30:55.400><c> the</c><00:30:55.660><c> gods</c><00:30:55.859><c> of</c><00:30:56.119><c> Egypt,</c>

00:30:57.079 --> 00:30:59.500
I<00:30:57.079><c> will</c><00:30:57.400><c> execute</c><00:30:58.079><c> judgment,</c><00:30:58.640><c> I</c><00:30:58.799><c> am</c><00:30:58.900><c> the</c><00:30:59.180><c> Lord.</c>

00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:04.180
Now<00:31:00.640><c> if</c><00:31:01.460><c> you've</c><00:31:01.680><c> got</c><00:31:01.839><c> a</c><00:31:02.019><c> margin,</c><00:31:02.480><c> just</c><00:31:02.759><c> notice</c><00:31:03.140><c> what</c><00:31:03.319><c> it</c><00:31:03.619><c> says</c>

00:31:04.180 --> 00:31:06.400
for<00:31:04.900><c> the</c><00:31:05.079><c> word</c><00:31:05.299><c> gods.</c>

00:31:08.220 --> 00:31:13.420
I<00:31:08.859><c> will</c><00:31:09.500><c> smite</c><00:31:10.480><c> against</c><00:31:10.920><c> all</c><00:31:11.380><c> the</c><00:31:11.700><c> princes</c><00:31:12.359><c> of</c><00:31:12.940><c> Egypt.</c>

00:31:13.619 --> 00:31:15.960
That's<00:31:13.940><c> a</c><00:31:14.119><c> Bible</c><00:31:14.359><c> echo,</c><00:31:14.779><c> isn't</c><00:31:15.019><c> it?</c>

00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:20.880
Where<00:31:19.299><c> do</c><00:31:19.480><c> we</c><00:31:19.579><c> hear</c><00:31:19.779><c> that?</c>

00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:24.500
John<00:31:21.420><c> chapter</c><00:31:21.779><c> 12,</c><00:31:22.339><c> verse</c><00:31:22.579><c> 30</c><00:31:22.960><c> to</c><00:31:23.140><c> 31.</c>

00:31:25.579 --> 00:31:27.640
Now<00:31:25.920><c> is</c><00:31:26.220><c> the</c><00:31:26.400><c> judgment</c><00:31:26.779><c> of</c><00:31:27.019><c> this</c><00:31:27.380><c> world.</c>

00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:34.319
He<00:31:27.819><c> says,</c><00:31:28.660><c> if</c><00:31:28.680><c> I</c><00:31:29.059><c> be</c><00:31:29.279><c> lifted</c><00:31:29.579><c> up,</c><00:31:31.559><c> I</c><00:31:31.740><c> will</c><00:31:32.000><c> draw</c><00:31:32.299><c> all</c><00:31:32.680><c> men</c><00:31:32.839><c> unto</c><00:31:33.180><c> me.</c>

00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:39.940
And<00:31:34.680><c> he</c><00:31:34.839><c> also</c><00:31:35.380><c> says</c><00:31:35.980><c> that</c><00:31:37.700><c> the</c><00:31:37.980><c> prince</c><00:31:38.259><c> of</c><00:31:38.599><c> this</c><00:31:39.059><c> world</c><00:31:39.539><c> will</c>

00:31:39.940 --> 00:31:41.599
be<00:31:40.259><c> cast</c><00:31:40.539><c> out.</c>

00:31:41.779 --> 00:31:47.200
So<00:31:42.299><c> when</c><00:31:42.779><c> Exodus</c><00:31:43.319><c> took</c><00:31:43.720><c> place,</c><00:31:45.059><c> at</c><00:31:45.160><c> the</c><00:31:45.440><c> Passover</c><00:31:45.859><c> time,</c>

00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:51.720
God's<00:31:47.900><c> judgments</c><00:31:48.319><c> were</c><00:31:48.720><c> executed</c><00:31:49.319><c> against</c><00:31:49.859><c> the</c><00:31:50.339><c> princes</c><00:31:50.940><c> of</c><00:31:51.299><c> Egypt,</c>

00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:56.380
the<00:31:52.299><c> judges</c><00:31:52.720><c> of</c><00:31:53.019><c> Egypt,</c><00:31:54.160><c> the</c><00:31:54.359><c> Elohim,</c><00:31:54.900><c> the</c><00:31:55.079><c> mighty</c><00:31:55.339><c> ones,</c>

00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:01.960
the<00:31:56.960><c> mighty</c><00:31:57.299><c> one</c><00:31:57.500><c> that</c><00:31:57.720><c> Jesus</c><00:31:58.440><c> destroyed,</c><00:31:59.460><c> the</c><00:31:59.680><c> sin,</c><00:32:00.500><c> the</c><00:32:00.799><c> prince</c><00:32:01.339><c> of</c>

00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:03.359
this<00:32:02.380><c> world.</c>

00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:11.279
So<00:32:06.960><c> the</c><00:32:07.480><c> Passover</c><00:32:08.180><c> pointed</c><00:32:09.440><c> to</c><00:32:09.759><c> the</c><00:32:09.920><c> Lord</c><00:32:10.140><c> Jesus</c><00:32:10.559><c> Christ.</c>

00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:19.119
1<00:32:12.180><c> Corinthians</c><00:32:12.740><c> says,</c><00:32:13.579><c> He</c><00:32:13.579><c> is</c><00:32:14.000><c> our</c><00:32:14.460><c> Passover,</c><00:32:16.839><c> sacrifice</c><00:32:17.660><c> for</c><00:32:17.940><c> us.</c>

00:32:19.980 --> 00:32:22.920
And<00:32:20.099><c> he</c><00:32:20.240><c> talks</c><00:32:20.480><c> about</c><00:32:20.859><c> purging</c><00:32:21.359><c> the</c><00:32:21.660><c> leaven,</c><00:32:22.240><c> the</c><00:32:22.420><c> feast</c><00:32:22.640><c> of</c>

00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:24.240
unleavened<00:32:23.460><c> bread.</c>

00:32:25.500 --> 00:32:27.539
So<00:32:25.640><c> there's</c><00:32:25.960><c> the</c><00:32:26.220><c> first</c><00:32:26.460><c> prophecy.</c>

00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:36.000
Now,<00:32:30.579><c> what</c><00:32:30.839><c> about</c><00:32:31.140><c> the</c><00:32:32.160><c> next</c><00:32:32.680><c> two</c><00:32:33.180><c> aspects</c><00:32:33.759><c> within</c><00:32:34.140><c> that</c><00:32:34.880><c> arrangement?</c>

00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:40.299
We'll<00:32:37.079><c> just</c><00:32:37.299><c> go</c><00:32:37.500><c> a</c><00:32:37.599><c> little</c><00:32:37.640><c> bit</c><00:32:37.759><c> to</c><00:32:37.980><c> 1</c><00:32:38.140><c> Corinthians</c><00:32:38.559><c> chapter</c><00:32:38.960><c> 15.</c>

00:32:40.779 --> 00:32:47.759
Notice<00:32:41.200><c> how</c><00:32:42.319><c> the</c><00:32:44.259><c> grouping,</c><00:32:46.099><c> the</c><00:32:46.380><c> second</c><00:32:46.759><c> grouping,</c>

the<00:32:50.599><c> sheaf</c><00:32:50.900><c> of</c><00:32:51.079><c> the</c><00:32:51.319><c> first</c><00:32:51.579><c> fruits,</c><00:32:52.359><c> the</c><00:32:52.500><c> feast</c><00:32:52.740><c> of</c><00:32:53.019><c> wheat,</c>

00:32:54.980 --> 00:32:59.980
Look<00:32:55.259><c> how</c><00:32:55.480><c> there</c><00:32:56.019><c> is</c><00:32:56.299><c> a</c><00:32:56.539><c> pattern</c><00:32:56.880><c> there,</c><00:32:57.920><c> developing</c><00:32:58.579><c> in</c><00:32:59.720><c> 1</c>

Corinthians<00:33:00.480><c> 15.</c>

00:33:01.259 --> 00:33:06.660
So<00:33:02.200><c> we</c><00:33:02.400><c> have</c><00:33:03.180><c> the</c><00:33:03.619><c> feast</c><00:33:03.859><c> of</c><00:33:04.119><c> unleavened</c><00:33:04.759><c> bread,</c><00:33:05.160><c> the</c><00:33:05.279><c> time</c><00:33:05.480><c> appointed,</c>

00:33:12.700 --> 00:33:17.980
Notice<00:33:13.099><c> what</c><00:33:13.359><c> it</c><00:33:13.539><c> says</c><00:33:13.859><c> in</c><00:33:14.140><c> Corinthians</c><00:33:14.720><c> 15</c><00:33:15.940><c> and</c><00:33:16.200><c> verse</c><00:33:16.759><c> 20.</c>

00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.059
It<00:33:19.319><c> says,</c><00:33:19.880><c> But</c><00:33:19.900><c> now</c><00:33:20.259><c> is</c><00:33:20.559><c> Christ</c><00:33:20.940><c> risen</c><00:33:21.220><c> from</c><00:33:21.539><c> the</c><00:33:21.759><c> dead,</c>

Now<00:36:37.980><c> the</c><00:36:38.539><c> second</c><00:36:39.159><c> word</c><00:36:39.800><c> is</c><00:36:40.519><c> this</c><00:36:40.760><c> word</c><00:36:41.079><c> lechur,</c>

00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:45.679

00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:47.599
That's<00:36:46.420><c> what</c><00:36:46.559><c> it</c><00:36:46.820><c> really</c><00:36:47.099><c> means.</c>

00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:49.940
So<00:36:48.119><c> it's</c><00:36:48.260><c> not</c><00:36:48.840><c> first</c><00:36:49.260><c> in</c><00:36:49.619><c> rank.</c>

00:36:49.940 --> 00:36:54.199
It<00:36:50.739><c> simply</c><00:36:51.139><c> means</c><00:36:51.519><c> that</c><00:36:51.719><c> it's</c><00:36:51.940><c> going</c><00:36:52.039><c> to</c><00:36:52.300><c> be</c><00:36:53.219><c> the</c><00:36:53.559><c> beginning</c>

00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:34.000
What's<00:37:32.739><c> the</c><00:37:32.960><c> significance</c><00:37:33.519><c> of</c><00:37:33.800><c> that?</c>

00:37:34.139 --> 00:37:37.400
Then<00:37:34.360><c> they</c><00:37:34.500><c> have</c><00:37:34.679><c> to</c><00:37:34.820><c> count</c><00:37:35.360><c> 50</c><00:37:36.619><c> days,</c>

And<00:37:47.380><c> that's</c><00:37:47.800><c> significant</c><00:37:48.199><c> too.</c>

00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:54.460
That<00:37:50.320><c> tells</c><00:37:50.599><c> us</c><00:37:50.820><c> what</c><00:37:51.039><c> day</c><00:37:51.960><c> the</c><00:37:52.679><c> Holy</c><00:37:52.920><c> Spirit</c><00:37:53.179><c> was</c><00:37:53.460><c> poured</c><00:37:53.719><c> out</c>

00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:00.380
You<00:37:59.239><c> haven't</c><00:37:59.380><c> picked</c><00:37:59.619><c> that</c><00:37:59.820><c> up</c><00:38:00.000><c> yet.</c>

00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:03.079
Hopefully<00:38:01.119><c> you</c><00:38:01.400><c> will</c><00:38:01.679><c> in</c><00:38:02.219><c> a</c><00:38:02.400><c> minute.</c>

00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:10.019
So,<00:38:05.480><c> each</c><00:38:05.780><c> of</c><00:38:05.940><c> them</c><00:38:06.099><c> was</c><00:38:08.099><c> linked</c><00:38:08.559><c> with</c><00:38:08.840><c> the</c><00:38:09.099><c> Sabbath,</c><00:38:09.780><c> and</c><00:38:09.920><c> it</c>

00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:17.880
Each<00:38:12.119><c> signified,</c><00:38:12.900><c> therefore,</c><00:38:13.460><c> the</c><00:38:13.719><c> beginning</c><00:38:14.420><c> of</c><00:38:15.739><c> a</c><00:38:15.920><c> new</c><00:38:16.119><c> week,</c><00:38:17.579><c> or</c>

00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:33.280
You<00:38:29.820><c> just</c><00:38:30.059><c> went</c><00:38:30.239><c> into</c><00:38:30.480><c> the</c><00:38:30.760><c> field,</c><00:38:31.219><c> you</c><00:38:31.440><c> cut</c><00:38:31.579><c> it</c><00:38:31.820><c> off,</c><00:38:32.519><c> you</c><00:38:32.820><c> bound</c><00:38:32.980><c> it</c>

00:38:37.500 --> 00:38:38.780

00:43:17.619 --> 00:43:19.039
So<00:43:17.900><c> at</c><00:43:18.099><c> Christ's</c><00:43:18.780><c> coming,</c>

Just<00:44:01.900><c> a</c><00:44:02.099><c> minute.</c>

00:44:03.300 --> 00:44:05.820
The<00:44:03.420><c> day</c><00:44:03.579><c> after</c><00:44:03.960><c> the</c><00:44:04.260><c> seventh</c><00:44:04.719><c> Sabbath,</c>

The<00:44:14.960><c> wheat</c><00:44:15.099><c> had</c><00:44:15.340><c> to</c><00:44:16.699><c> be</c><00:44:16.960><c> cut</c><00:44:17.179><c> down,</c>

00:44:17.900 --> 00:44:20.599

00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:36.019
I<00:44:32.000><c> mean,</c><00:44:32.820><c> you</c><00:44:32.900><c> don't</c><00:44:33.360><c> find</c><00:44:34.019><c> a</c><00:44:34.239><c> meal</c><00:44:34.420><c> offering</c><00:44:34.760><c> with</c><00:44:35.059><c> leaven,</c>

00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:43.199
And<00:44:39.300><c> it's</c><00:44:39.659><c> described</c><00:44:40.079><c> as</c><00:44:40.360><c> the</c><00:44:40.639><c> first</c><00:44:41.059><c> fruits</c><00:44:41.380><c> of</c><00:44:41.699><c> thy</c><00:44:42.000><c> labors.</c>

00:44:43.860 --> 00:44:45.500
Now,<00:44:44.000><c> where's</c><00:44:44.280><c> the</c><00:44:44.480><c> fulfillment</c><00:44:44.980><c> in</c><00:44:45.239><c> that?</c>

Well,<00:44:45.920><c> of</c><00:44:46.139><c> course,</c><00:44:47.119><c> Pentecost</c><00:44:47.659><c> was</c><00:44:48.039><c> the</c><00:44:48.599><c> feast,</c>

00:44:50.579 --> 00:44:53.199

00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:56.239
And<00:44:54.000><c> at</c><00:44:54.340><c> Pentecost,</c><00:44:55.880><c> it</c><00:44:55.960><c> says,</c>

00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:09.340
And<00:45:06.559><c> it</c><00:45:06.780><c> doesn't</c><00:45:07.119><c> simply</c><00:45:07.559><c> say</c><00:45:07.760><c> when</c><00:45:08.019><c> the</c><00:45:08.239><c> day</c><00:45:08.420><c> was</c><00:45:08.880><c> come.</c>

There<00:45:20.820><c> was</c><00:45:22.219><c> a</c><00:45:22.380><c> new</c><00:45:22.599><c> beginning.</c>

00:45:23.900 --> 00:45:25.340
Do<00:45:24.000><c> you</c><00:45:24.000><c> remember</c><00:45:24.179><c> what</c><00:45:24.360><c> it</c><00:45:24.619><c> says</c><00:45:24.860><c> there</c>

00:45:25.340 --> 00:45:31.739

00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:33.860
It<00:45:32.440><c> signaled</c><00:45:32.860><c> a</c><00:45:33.039><c> new</c><00:45:33.300><c> beginning.</c>

00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:38.139
The<00:45:34.360><c> Gospel</c><00:45:34.820><c> now</c><00:45:35.159><c> was</c><00:45:35.440><c> not</c><00:45:35.780><c> restricted</c><00:45:36.579><c> to</c><00:45:36.960><c> Israel.</c>

00:45:38.659 --> 00:45:41.980
Joel<00:45:38.960><c> says</c><00:45:39.380><c> that</c><00:45:39.780><c> all</c><00:45:40.199><c> flesh</c><00:45:40.739><c> would</c><00:45:41.420><c> benefit</c>

00:45:41.980 --> 00:45:44.760
by<00:45:42.300><c> the</c><00:45:42.599><c> outpouring</c><00:45:43.239><c> of</c><00:45:43.719><c> the</c><00:45:43.880><c> Holy</c><00:45:44.099><c> Spirit.</c>

00:45:45.179 --> 00:45:48.260
And<00:45:45.360><c> in</c><00:45:45.500><c> verse</c><00:45:45.760><c> 21,</c><00:45:47.199><c> Peter</c><00:45:47.480><c> says</c><00:45:47.820><c> that,</c>

00:45:48.260 --> 00:45:49.539
quoting<00:45:48.579><c> from</c><00:45:49.019><c> Joel,</c>

00:45:49.940 --> 00:45:52.940
whosoever<00:45:50.719><c> shall</c><00:45:50.940><c> call</c><00:45:51.260><c> upon</c><00:45:51.559><c> the</c><00:45:51.780><c> name</c><00:45:52.119><c> shall</c><00:45:52.519><c> be</c><00:45:52.780><c> saved.</c>

00:45:53.079 --> 00:45:56.559
So<00:45:53.300><c> the</c><00:45:53.500><c> Gospel</c><00:45:53.920><c> was</c><00:45:54.159><c> going</c><00:45:54.340><c> to</c><00:45:54.599><c> now</c><00:45:55.440><c> be</c><00:45:55.860><c> extended.</c>

00:45:56.900 --> 00:45:58.699
There<00:45:57.059><c> was</c><00:45:57.320><c> a</c><00:45:57.460><c> new</c><00:45:57.659><c> beginning.</c>

00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:02.679
There<00:46:00.559><c> was</c><00:46:00.820><c> a</c><00:46:00.980><c> new</c><00:46:02.059><c> meal</c><00:46:02.360><c> offering,</c>

00:46:04.820 --> 00:46:07.480
They<00:46:04.980><c> were</c><00:46:05.260><c> filled</c><00:46:05.739><c> with</c><00:46:06.000><c> the</c><00:46:06.219><c> Holy</c><00:46:06.400><c> Spirit.</c>

00:46:07.900 --> 00:46:08.840
The<00:46:08.199><c> preparation.</c>

00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:10.840
Why<00:46:09.300><c> was</c><00:46:09.579><c> the</c><00:46:09.800><c> Holy</c><00:46:10.079><c> Spirit</c><00:46:10.480><c> given?</c>

00:46:11.320 --> 00:46:14.860
It<00:46:11.579><c> was</c><00:46:11.880><c> so</c><00:46:12.099><c> that</c><00:46:12.500><c> the</c><00:46:12.820><c> Ecclesia,</c><00:46:13.420><c> Ephesians</c><00:46:14.139><c> 4,</c>

00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:23.980
