00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:52.599

00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:04.280
Now,<00:37:01.539><c> this</c><00:37:02.099><c> incident,</c><00:37:03.119><c> and</c><00:37:03.260><c> I</c><00:37:03.320><c> haven't</c><00:37:03.440><c> time</c><00:37:03.659><c> to</c><00:37:03.820><c> develop</c><00:37:04.039><c> it</c>

00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:04.659
fully<00:37:04.440><c> here,</c>

00:37:04.659 --> 00:37:06.599
but<00:37:04.820><c> when</c><00:37:05.000><c> you</c><00:37:05.179><c> go</c><00:37:05.320><c> home,</c><00:37:05.800><c> have</c><00:37:06.000><c> a</c><00:37:06.139><c> look</c><00:37:06.260><c> at</c><00:37:06.380><c> it,</c>

and<00:37:07.099><c> you'll</c><00:37:07.300><c> see</c><00:37:07.500><c> that</c><00:37:07.699><c> what</c><00:37:07.900><c> was</c><00:37:08.139><c> happening</c><00:37:08.420><c> was</c><00:37:08.699><c> this,</c>

00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:12.619
that<00:37:10.000><c> there</c><00:37:10.099><c> were</c><00:37:10.280><c> seventy</c><00:37:10.639><c>-two</c><00:37:10.800><c> who</c><00:37:10.960><c> were</c><00:37:11.139><c> qualified</c><00:37:11.440><c> as</c><00:37:11.679><c> elders.</c>

00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:15.300
There<00:37:12.960><c> were</c><00:37:13.159><c> seventy</c><00:37:13.420><c> only</c><00:37:13.739><c> of</c><00:37:13.900><c> them</c><00:37:14.019><c> gathered</c><00:37:14.440><c> around</c>

00:37:15.300 --> 00:37:19.099
to<00:37:15.719><c> protect</c><00:37:16.380><c> God's</c><00:37:17.139><c> presence</c><00:37:17.460><c> with</c><00:37:17.780><c> the</c><00:37:18.000><c> people.</c>

00:37:19.300 --> 00:37:23.159
And<00:37:19.440><c> then</c><00:37:20.099><c> upon</c><00:37:20.619><c> them</c><00:37:20.940><c> came</c><00:37:21.239><c> an</c><00:37:21.500><c> extension</c><00:37:21.940><c> of</c><00:37:22.219><c> the</c><00:37:22.460><c> Holy</c><00:37:22.760><c> Spirit</c>

00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:25.940
which<00:37:23.400><c> Moses</c><00:37:23.780><c> himself</c><00:37:24.420><c> had</c><00:37:24.840><c> occupied.</c>

00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:28.219
And<00:37:26.659><c> they</c><00:37:26.960><c> prophesied.</c>

00:37:28.900 --> 00:37:30.940
But<00:37:29.280><c> they</c><00:37:29.400><c> only</c><00:37:29.619><c> did</c><00:37:29.739><c> it</c><00:37:29.860><c> for</c><00:37:30.079><c> a</c><00:37:30.199><c> very</c><00:37:30.400><c> short</c><00:37:30.599><c> period.</c>

00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:32.420
They<00:37:31.400><c> prophesied</c><00:37:31.960><c> once.</c>

00:37:32.900 --> 00:37:35.219
In<00:37:33.079><c> other</c><00:37:33.239><c> words,</c><00:37:33.340><c> it</c><00:37:33.440><c> was</c><00:37:33.619><c> a</c><00:37:33.760><c> demonstration</c><00:37:34.380><c> of</c><00:37:34.579><c> God's</c><00:37:34.960><c> power.</c>

00:37:35.219 --> 00:37:38.599
And<00:37:35.559><c> then</c><00:37:35.699><c> it</c><00:37:35.920><c> ceased,</c><00:37:36.579><c> and</c><00:37:36.699><c> they</c><00:37:36.840><c> did</c><00:37:36.960><c> it</c><00:37:37.119><c> no</c><00:37:37.320><c> more.</c>

00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:44.360
And<00:37:40.280><c> this</c><00:37:40.760><c> is</c><00:37:41.460><c> reminiscent</c><00:37:41.940><c> of</c><00:37:42.300><c> the</c><00:37:42.599><c> Pentecost</c><00:37:43.159><c> situation.</c>

00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:51.300
It<00:37:49.800><c> didn't</c><00:37:50.179><c> continue.</c>

00:37:52.179 --> 00:37:54.920
But<00:37:52.340><c> God's</c><00:37:52.780><c> presence</c><00:37:53.000><c> came</c><00:37:53.320><c> amongst</c><00:37:53.619><c> them</c><00:37:53.800><c> in</c><00:37:53.960><c> this</c><00:37:54.199><c> mighty</c><00:37:54.579><c> way,</c>

00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:57.280
and<00:37:55.039><c> they</c><00:37:55.219><c> were</c><00:37:55.360><c> able</c><00:37:55.699><c> to</c><00:37:56.039><c> prophesy.</c>

00:37:57.980 --> 00:38:00.019
But<00:37:58.260><c> there</c><00:37:58.320><c> were</c><00:37:58.480><c> two</c><00:37:58.619><c> that</c><00:37:58.840><c> weren't.</c>

00:38:00.539 --> 00:38:02.760

00:40:08.460 --> 00:40:09.760
And<00:40:08.460><c> they</c><00:40:08.539><c> weren't</c><00:40:08.760><c> fit</c><00:40:08.980><c> for</c><00:40:09.119><c> it</c><00:40:09.280><c> then.</c>

00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:13.519
It<00:40:10.099><c> wasn't</c><00:40:10.380><c> appropriate</c><00:40:11.019><c> that</c><00:40:11.860><c> his</c><00:40:12.519><c> power</c><00:40:12.860><c> to</c><00:40:13.119><c> prophesy</c>

00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:19.820
So<00:40:16.900><c> it</c><00:40:17.059><c> says</c><00:40:17.300><c> in</c><00:40:17.840><c> the</c><00:40:18.179><c> Revised</c><00:40:18.519><c> Standard</c><00:40:18.800><c> Version,</c>

00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:21.440

00:40:21.539 --> 00:40:24.920
It<00:40:21.599><c> was</c><00:40:21.880><c> but</c><00:40:22.219><c> a</c><00:40:22.599><c> token</c><00:40:22.920><c> visitation,</c><00:40:23.679><c> then</c><00:40:23.800><c> it</c><00:40:24.079><c> passed.</c>

00:40:25.699 --> 00:40:27.420
The<00:40:25.880><c> same</c><00:40:26.079><c> thing</c><00:40:26.280><c> happened</c><00:40:26.440><c> after</c><00:40:26.679><c> Pentecost.</c>

00:40:27.420 --> 00:40:30.940

00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:35.159

00:40:38.059 --> 00:40:41.219

The<00:40:47.039><c> people</c><00:40:47.460><c> gorge</c><00:40:47.820><c> themselves,</c>

00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:54.139
They<00:40:52.980><c> didn't</c><00:40:53.219><c> know</c><00:40:53.420><c> what</c><00:40:53.619><c> they</c><00:40:53.920><c> wanted.</c>

00:40:54.219 --> 00:40:56.500
They<00:40:54.400><c> wanted</c><00:40:55.119><c> flesh,</c><00:40:55.579><c> and</c><00:40:55.719><c> when</c><00:40:55.840><c> they</c><00:40:56.019><c> got</c><00:40:56.239><c> flesh,</c>

00:40:56.500 --> 00:40:58.820
they<00:40:56.699><c> couldn't</c><00:40:57.219><c> use</c><00:40:57.519><c> it</c><00:40:57.719><c> in</c><00:40:57.860><c> temperance.</c>

00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:01.280
They<00:40:59.260><c> just</c><00:40:59.539><c> ate</c><00:40:59.659><c> it</c><00:40:59.820><c> until</c><00:40:59.960><c> they</c><00:41:00.179><c> were</c><00:41:00.440><c> sick.</c>

00:41:02.980 --> 00:41:04.460

Why<00:41:09.119><c> do</c><00:41:09.300><c> you</c><00:41:09.380><c> think</c><00:41:09.519><c> it's</c><00:41:09.780><c> introduced</c><00:41:10.179><c> at</c><00:41:10.380><c> this</c><00:41:10.699><c> point</c>

between<00:41:12.340><c> the</c><00:41:12.599><c> promise</c><00:41:12.820><c> of</c><00:41:13.059><c> the</c><00:41:13.260><c> quails</c>

00:41:13.619 --> 00:41:16.400
with<00:41:13.880><c> such</c><00:41:14.619><c> disastrous</c><00:41:15.300><c> results?</c>

00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:19.059
It<00:41:17.360><c> has</c><00:41:17.599><c> exactly</c><00:41:18.039><c> the</c><00:41:18.260><c> same</c><00:41:18.599><c> pattern</c>

00:41:19.059 --> 00:41:22.079
as<00:41:20.019><c> the</c><00:41:20.179><c> record</c><00:41:20.480><c> of</c><00:41:20.639><c> John</c><00:41:20.960><c> 6.</c>

00:41:22.219 --> 00:41:24.980
It<00:41:22.420><c> is</c><00:41:22.659><c> in</c><00:41:22.719><c> fact</c><00:41:22.960><c> the</c><00:41:23.119><c> Gospel</c><00:41:23.480><c> in</c><00:41:24.000><c> the</c><00:41:24.119><c> Old</c><00:41:24.380><c> Testament.</c>

00:41:24.980 --> 00:41:29.659
Consider,<00:41:26.300><c> one,</c><00:41:27.920><c> the</c><00:41:28.059><c> people</c><00:41:28.219><c> want</c><00:41:28.519><c> food.</c>

00:41:30.300 --> 00:41:33.519
They<00:41:30.460><c> came</c><00:41:30.780><c> to</c><00:41:30.920><c> Jesus</c><00:41:31.380><c> in</c><00:41:31.519><c> the</c><00:41:31.639><c> sixth</c><00:41:31.860><c> chapter</c><00:41:32.199><c> of</c><00:41:32.300><c> John</c><00:41:32.739><c> hungry,</c>

00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:37.260
wanting<00:41:34.280><c> food,</c><00:41:35.900><c> and</c><00:41:35.980><c> Jesus</c><00:41:36.320><c> feeds</c><00:41:36.659><c> them</c>

00:41:37.260 --> 00:41:40.460
as<00:41:37.679><c> God</c><00:41:37.980><c> fed</c><00:41:38.199><c> Israel</c><00:41:38.699><c> with</c><00:41:38.960><c> the</c><00:41:39.179><c> quails.</c>

00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:44.719
Secondly,<00:41:42.440><c> this</c><00:41:42.679><c> food</c><00:41:42.920><c> did</c><00:41:43.300><c> not</c><00:41:43.599><c> sustain.</c>

00:41:45.460 --> 00:41:47.340
This<00:41:45.699><c> was</c><00:41:45.900><c> the</c><00:41:46.019><c> meat</c><00:41:46.159><c> that</c><00:41:46.480><c> perished.</c>

00:41:47.860 --> 00:41:49.239
The<00:41:47.980><c> true</c><00:41:48.119><c> bread</c><00:41:48.320><c> from</c><00:41:48.519><c> heaven</c><00:41:48.780><c> is</c><00:41:49.039><c> offered</c>

00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:52.480
through<00:41:49.519><c> the</c><00:41:49.659><c> lips</c><00:41:49.820><c> of</c><00:41:50.099><c> the</c><00:41:50.719><c> spirit</c><00:41:51.039><c>-endowed</c><00:41:51.380><c> elders.</c>

00:41:54.059 --> 00:41:56.980
But<00:41:54.739><c> it's</c><00:41:55.420><c> not</c><00:41:55.619><c> received.</c>

00:41:58.420 --> 00:42:01.059
Thirdly,<00:41:59.500><c> it</c><00:41:59.579><c> is</c><00:41:59.860><c> the</c><00:42:00.119><c> deliberate</c><00:42:00.679><c> setting</c>

00:42:01.059 --> 00:42:02.980
of<00:42:01.340><c> one</c><00:42:01.679><c> against</c><00:42:02.239><c> the</c><00:42:02.539><c> other,</c>

00:42:03.400 --> 00:42:05.420
as<00:42:03.619><c> in</c><00:42:03.780><c> John</c><00:42:04.019><c> 6,</c><00:42:04.440><c> the</c><00:42:04.599><c> words</c><00:42:04.800><c> of</c><00:42:05.139><c> life,</c>

00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:08.079
the<00:42:05.739><c> food</c><00:42:06.079><c> which</c><00:42:06.599><c> really</c><00:42:07.059><c> sustains</c>

00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:10.320
against<00:42:08.780><c> the</c><00:42:09.019><c> meat</c><00:42:09.219><c> that</c><00:42:09.760><c> perishes</c>

00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:12.960
so<00:42:10.900><c> that</c><00:42:11.059><c> the</c><00:42:11.260><c> people</c><00:42:11.480><c> could</c><00:42:11.800><c> choose.</c>

00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:16.539
And<00:42:14.880><c> they</c><00:42:15.219><c> always</c><00:42:15.659><c> tend</c><00:42:15.940><c> to</c><00:42:16.219><c> choose</c>

00:42:16.539 --> 00:42:18.579
that<00:42:17.260><c> which</c><00:42:17.440><c> is</c><00:42:17.679><c> a</c><00:42:17.800><c> varied</c><00:42:18.119><c> diet</c>

00:42:18.579 --> 00:42:21.719
and<00:42:19.099><c> that</c><00:42:19.320><c> which</c><00:42:19.519><c> appears</c><00:42:19.900><c> beguiling</c><00:42:20.400><c> for</c><00:42:20.599><c> the</c><00:42:20.780><c> moment.</c>

00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:24.500
This<00:42:22.500><c> is</c><00:42:22.679><c> the</c><00:42:22.820><c> responsibility</c><00:42:23.400><c> of</c><00:42:23.619><c> elders</c><00:42:23.800><c> today</c>

00:42:24.500 --> 00:42:26.280
to<00:42:25.340><c> set</c><00:42:25.539><c> the</c><00:42:25.719><c> words</c><00:42:25.860><c> of</c><00:42:26.079><c> life</c>

00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:43.239
The<00:42:42.199><c> responsibility</c><00:42:42.760><c> of</c><00:42:43.019><c> elders</c>

00:42:43.239 --> 00:42:44.860

00:42:44.860 --> 00:42:49.739
They<00:42:45.400><c> are</c><00:42:45.699><c> called</c><00:42:46.079><c> to</c><00:42:46.480><c> encompass</c><00:42:47.699><c> the</c><00:42:48.679><c> camp</c><00:42:48.920><c> of</c><00:42:49.139><c> Israel.</c>

00:42:54.980 --> 00:42:57.800
Whether<00:42:55.219><c> they</c><00:42:55.440><c> can</c><00:42:55.780><c> continue</c><00:42:56.320><c> to</c><00:42:56.659><c> prophesy</c>

00:42:57.800 --> 00:43:01.119
depends<00:42:58.920><c> upon</c><00:42:59.199><c> whether</c><00:42:59.420><c> they</c><00:42:59.639><c> have</c><00:42:59.840><c> really</c><00:43:00.199><c> received</c>

00:43:14.980 --> 00:43:16.559
They<00:43:15.119><c> must</c><00:43:15.360><c> have</c><00:43:15.719><c> God</c><00:43:15.880><c> at</c><00:43:16.059><c> the</c><00:43:16.280><c> centre</c>
