00:00:14.619 --> 00:00:16.519
Good<00:00:15.099><c> morning,</c><00:00:15.400><c> everyone.</c>

00:00:18.059 --> 00:00:21.820
We<00:00:18.539><c> left</c><00:00:18.820><c> off</c><00:00:19.100><c> yesterday</c><00:00:19.559><c> rather</c><00:00:19.940><c> hurriedly,</c><00:00:20.679><c> having</c><00:00:20.980><c> abused</c>

00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:23.339
our<00:00:22.120><c> time</c><00:00:22.300><c> slightly,</c><00:00:22.739><c> gone</c><00:00:22.859><c> over</c><00:00:23.120><c> a</c><00:00:23.140><c> couple</c>

00:00:23.339 --> 00:00:24.199
minutes.

00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:26.660
But<00:00:24.699><c> there</c><00:00:24.760><c> were</c><00:00:24.940><c> still</c><00:00:25.160><c> a</c><00:00:25.239><c> couple</c><00:00:25.420><c> other</c><00:00:25.620><c> things</c><00:00:25.820><c> that</c><00:00:25.960><c> we</c><00:00:26.059><c> could</c><00:00:26.239><c> say</c><00:00:26.460><c> in</c>

00:00:26.660 --> 00:00:27.500
regard<00:00:26.920><c> to</c><00:00:27.140><c> the</c><00:00:27.160><c> hardening</c>

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:28.940
of<00:00:27.739><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:00:28.100><c> hearts.</c>

00:00:28.859 --> 00:00:32.979
We<00:00:29.120><c> did</c><00:00:29.339><c> get</c><00:00:29.539><c> through</c><00:00:29.780><c> the</c><00:00:30.260><c> three</c><00:00:30.859><c> passages,</c><00:00:32.479><c> and</c><00:00:32.560><c> a</c><00:00:32.759><c> couple</c>

00:00:32.979 --> 00:00:34.880
of<00:00:33.100><c> them</c><00:00:33.219><c> were</c><00:00:33.340><c> rather</c><00:00:33.520><c> lengthy,</c><00:00:34.380><c> in</c><00:00:34.539><c> regard</c>

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:36.979
to<00:00:35.200><c> hardening</c><00:00:35.579><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:00:36.060><c> hearts.</c>

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.119
That<00:00:37.200><c> God</c><00:00:37.539><c> has</c><00:00:37.960><c> control</c><00:00:38.280><c> of</c><00:00:38.460><c> everything,</c><00:00:39.399><c> and</c><00:00:39.500><c> if</c><00:00:39.600><c> God</c><00:00:39.840><c> wishes</c>

00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:41.700
to<00:00:40.399><c> create</c><00:00:40.659><c> one</c><00:00:40.920><c> vessel</c><00:00:41.219><c> for</c><00:00:41.460><c> honor</c>

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:44.179
and<00:00:41.859><c> another</c><00:00:42.119><c> for</c><00:00:42.320><c> dishonor,</c><00:00:43.219><c> that's</c><00:00:43.479><c> His</c><00:00:43.700><c> prerogative.</c>

00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:46.299
He<00:00:44.780><c> can</c><00:00:44.960><c> do</c><00:00:45.060><c> whatever</c><00:00:45.320><c> He</c><00:00:45.460><c> wants</c><00:00:45.679><c> with</c><00:00:45.880><c> His</c><00:00:46.060><c> own.</c>

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.079
He<00:00:46.880><c> owns</c><00:00:47.159><c> it,</c><00:00:47.359><c> and</c><00:00:47.479><c> we</c><00:00:47.619><c> have</c><00:00:47.820><c> to</c><00:00:47.939><c> remember</c><00:00:48.240><c> that.</c>

00:00:49.179 --> 00:00:53.340
And<00:00:49.399><c> sometimes</c><00:00:49.719><c> we</c><00:00:49.899><c> try</c><00:00:50.159><c> to</c><00:00:50.439><c> apply</c><00:00:51.579><c> principles</c><00:00:52.200><c> to</c><00:00:52.439><c> God</c><00:00:52.859><c> that</c>

00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:55.840
really<00:00:53.939><c> shouldn't</c><00:00:54.159><c> be</c><00:00:54.500><c> applied</c><00:00:54.780><c> to</c><00:00:55.000><c> God.</c>

00:00:56.539 --> 00:00:59.299
However,<00:00:57.119><c> we</c><00:00:57.219><c> do</c><00:00:57.460><c> find</c><00:00:57.619><c> that</c><00:00:57.780><c> God</c><00:00:57.899><c> is</c><00:00:58.100><c> a</c><00:00:58.219><c> fair</c><00:00:58.380><c> God.</c>

00:00:59.420 --> 00:01:00.140
He's<00:00:59.640><c> a</c><00:00:59.759><c> good</c><00:00:59.920><c> God.</c>

00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:00.799
He's<00:01:00.359><c> a</c><00:01:00.479><c> just</c><00:01:00.619><c> God.</c>

00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.620
In<00:01:00.920><c> fact,</c><00:01:01.140><c> He</c><00:01:01.219><c> says</c><00:01:01.460><c> Himself</c><00:01:02.100><c> that</c><00:01:02.560><c> His</c><00:01:02.899><c> ways</c><00:01:03.219><c> are</c><00:01:03.560><c> equal.</c>

00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:06.879
And<00:01:05.000><c> it's</c><00:01:05.159><c> rather</c><00:01:05.379><c> interesting</c><00:01:05.840><c> to</c><00:01:06.060><c> note</c><00:01:06.180><c> that</c><00:01:06.299><c> He</c><00:01:06.400><c> does</c><00:01:06.680><c> not</c>

00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:09.299
punish<00:01:07.239><c> Pharaoh</c><00:01:07.719><c> until</c><00:01:08.719><c> Pharaoh</c><00:01:09.079><c> has</c>

00:01:09.299 --> 00:01:12.579
already<00:01:09.700><c> shown</c><00:01:10.140><c> what</c><00:01:10.439><c> kind</c><00:01:10.719><c> of</c><00:01:10.859><c> an</c><00:01:11.099><c> individual</c><00:01:11.439><c> he</c><00:01:11.560><c> is.</c>

00:01:12.659 --> 00:01:16.959
We<00:01:12.980><c> find</c><00:01:13.340><c> that</c><00:01:13.640><c> most</c><00:01:14.040><c> of</c><00:01:14.219><c> the</c><00:01:14.400><c> time</c><00:01:14.640><c> as</c><00:01:14.799><c> we</c><00:01:14.959><c> go</c><00:01:15.219><c> through,</c><00:01:16.180><c> Pharaoh</c><00:01:16.579><c> is</c>

00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:18.000
hardening<00:01:17.299><c> his</c><00:01:17.519><c> own</c><00:01:17.760><c> heart.</c>

00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:20.760
There<00:01:18.359><c> are</c><00:01:18.500><c> sometimes</c><00:01:18.920><c> when</c><00:01:19.299><c> it</c><00:01:19.459><c> doesn't</c><00:01:19.859><c> say</c><00:01:20.140><c> which</c><00:01:20.400><c> way</c><00:01:20.579><c> it</c>

00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.739
is<00:01:21.120><c> until</c><00:01:21.900><c> we</c><00:01:22.140><c> get</c><00:01:22.340><c> up</c><00:01:22.640><c> near</c><00:01:23.060><c> the</c><00:01:23.540><c> latter</c>

00:01:23.739 --> 00:01:24.640
part<00:01:23.980><c> of</c><00:01:24.140><c> the</c><00:01:24.299><c> plains.</c>

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:29.319
And<00:01:25.140><c> then</c><00:01:25.340><c> we</c><00:01:25.500><c> find</c><00:01:25.739><c> it</c><00:01:25.980><c> says,</c><00:01:27.180><c> God</c><00:01:27.459><c> hardens</c><00:01:28.340><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:01:29.060><c> heart.</c>

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.459
So<00:01:29.859><c> that</c><00:01:30.019><c> He</c><00:01:30.140><c> can</c><00:01:30.519><c> continue</c><00:01:30.859><c> to</c><00:01:31.140><c> show</c><00:01:31.359><c> all</c><00:01:31.959><c> His</c><00:01:32.260><c> wonders</c><00:01:32.840><c> and</c>

00:01:33.459 --> 00:01:34.780
continue<00:01:33.859><c> to</c><00:01:34.079><c> show</c><00:01:34.200><c> His</c><00:01:34.459><c> power.</c>

00:01:35.019 --> 00:01:37.760
And<00:01:35.159><c> we</c><00:01:35.319><c> have</c><00:01:35.540><c> such</c><00:01:35.840><c> verses</c><00:01:36.200><c> to</c><00:01:36.420><c> be</c><00:01:36.560><c> able</c><00:01:36.760><c> to</c><00:01:36.920><c> refer</c><00:01:37.200><c> to,</c><00:01:37.659><c> and</c>

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:39.560
we<00:01:37.980><c> will</c><00:01:38.099><c> as</c><00:01:38.319><c> we</c><00:01:38.480><c> move</c><00:01:38.659><c> along.</c>

00:01:39.900 --> 00:01:42.780
But<00:01:40.079><c> first</c><00:01:40.340><c> of</c><00:01:40.480><c> all,</c><00:01:40.599><c> we</c><00:01:40.700><c> do</c><00:01:40.939><c> notice</c><00:01:41.420><c> that</c><00:01:42.120><c> He</c><00:01:42.200><c> doesn't</c><00:01:42.500><c> punish</c>

00:01:42.780 --> 00:01:44.439
Pharaoh<00:01:43.099><c> until</c><00:01:43.340><c> after</c><00:01:43.700><c> Pharaoh</c><00:01:43.920><c> shows</c><00:01:44.180><c> what</c>

00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:46.379
type<00:01:44.620><c> of</c><00:01:44.840><c> a</c><00:01:45.000><c> character</c><00:01:45.239><c> he</c><00:01:45.400><c> has.</c>

00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:48.439
And<00:01:46.739><c> that</c><00:01:46.939><c> brings</c><00:01:47.120><c> us</c><00:01:47.319><c> to</c><00:01:47.480><c> a</c><00:01:47.599><c> couple</c><00:01:47.760><c> of</c><00:01:47.920><c> other</c><00:01:48.040><c> thoughts</c><00:01:48.299><c> that</c>

00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:50.700
might<00:01:48.659><c> be</c><00:01:48.959><c> very</c><00:01:49.260><c> well</c><00:01:49.439><c> for</c><00:01:49.579><c> us</c><00:01:49.680><c> to</c><00:01:49.799><c> get</c><00:01:49.959><c> under</c>

our<00:01:50.939><c> belt</c><00:01:51.099><c> before</c><00:01:51.379><c> we</c><00:01:51.540><c> go</c><00:01:51.700><c> on</c><00:01:51.840><c> with</c><00:01:52.079><c> this</c><00:01:52.200><c> day's</c><00:01:52.579><c> class.</c>

00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.359
And<00:01:53.819><c> that</c><00:01:54.099><c> is</c><00:01:54.379><c> that</c><00:01:54.980><c> there</c><00:01:55.260><c> are</c><00:01:55.340><c> many</c><00:01:55.540><c> times</c><00:01:55.840><c> that</c><00:01:56.019><c> we</c><00:01:56.120><c> say,</c>

00:01:56.739 --> 00:01:59.019
why<00:01:56.900><c> did</c><00:01:57.180><c> this</c><00:01:57.719><c> particular</c><00:01:58.239><c> difficulty</c>

00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:03.379
Why<00:02:01.519><c> did</c><00:02:01.959><c> God</c><00:02:02.299><c> let</c><00:02:02.519><c> it</c><00:02:02.780><c> happen</c><00:02:02.959><c> to</c><00:02:03.120><c> me?</c>

00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:08.120
Or<00:02:03.659><c> perhaps</c><00:02:03.939><c> even</c><00:02:04.260><c> worse,</c><00:02:05.219><c> why</c><00:02:05.540><c> did</c><00:02:05.840><c> God</c><00:02:06.280><c> do</c><00:02:06.700><c> this</c><00:02:07.040><c> to</c><00:02:07.239><c> me?</c>

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:11.620
We<00:02:08.960><c> do</c><00:02:09.159><c> know,</c><00:02:09.439><c> brothers</c><00:02:09.539><c> and</c><00:02:09.800><c> sisters,</c><00:02:10.000><c> that</c><00:02:10.159><c> we're</c><00:02:10.400><c> all</c><00:02:10.680><c> mortal.</c>

00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.719
We're<00:02:11.939><c> subject</c><00:02:12.340><c> to</c><00:02:12.599><c> good</c><00:02:12.759><c> and</c><00:02:13.000><c> evil.</c>

00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.039
We<00:02:14.020><c> know</c><00:02:14.180><c> that's</c><00:02:14.419><c> been</c><00:02:14.599><c> the</c><00:02:14.680><c> case</c><00:02:14.939><c> ever</c><00:02:15.180><c> since</c><00:02:15.439><c> the</c><00:02:15.599><c> sins</c><00:02:15.800><c> of</c>

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.860
And<00:02:22.460><c> we</c><00:02:22.620><c> know</c><00:02:22.900><c> that</c><00:02:23.219><c> with</c><00:02:23.460><c> that</c><00:02:23.699><c> mortality</c><00:02:24.219><c> is</c><00:02:24.979><c> going</c><00:02:25.159><c> to</c><00:02:25.379><c> come</c>

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.740

00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.560

00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:47.539

00:02:47.539 --> 00:02:48.919

They're<00:02:54.960><c> protected.</c>

Let's<00:02:58.960><c> all</c><00:02:59.080><c> be</c><00:02:59.319><c> Christadelphians</c><00:02:59.860><c> because</c><00:03:00.259><c> of</c><00:03:00.379><c> it</c><00:03:00.500><c> and</c><00:03:00.539><c> it</c><00:03:00.639><c> wouldn't</c><00:03:00.800><c> be</c>

00:03:06.580 --> 00:03:08.180
Brother<00:03:06.699><c> Harry</c><00:03:06.979><c> brought</c><00:03:07.199><c> it</c><00:03:07.360><c> up.</c>

00:03:08.300 --> 00:03:09.659
Brother<00:03:08.539><c> Deb</c><00:03:08.740><c> brought</c><00:03:09.000><c> it</c><00:03:09.159><c> up.</c>

00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:14.599
All<00:03:10.439><c> from</c><00:03:10.680><c> the</c><00:03:11.699><c> book</c><00:03:12.300><c> of</c><00:03:12.479><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:03:13.000><c> and</c><00:03:13.659><c> I</c><00:03:14.020><c> didn't</c><00:03:14.199><c> realize</c>

00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:15.699
that<00:03:14.780><c> they</c><00:03:14.939><c> were</c><00:03:15.080><c> both</c><00:03:15.259><c> going</c><00:03:15.460><c> to</c><00:03:15.599><c> bring</c>

it<00:03:16.000><c> up</c><00:03:16.000><c> and</c><00:03:16.259><c> I've</c><00:03:16.479><c> got</c><00:03:16.599><c> that</c><00:03:16.840><c> in</c><00:03:16.900><c> my</c><00:03:17.060><c> notes</c><00:03:17.219><c> to</c><00:03:17.460><c> consider</c><00:03:17.719><c> a</c><00:03:17.840><c> little</c><00:03:18.000><c> bit</c>

00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:19.319
later<00:03:18.400><c> too.</c>

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.120
So<00:03:19.419><c> while</c><00:03:19.919><c> we</c><00:03:20.280><c> weren't</c><00:03:20.599><c> really</c><00:03:21.379><c> in</c><00:03:21.620><c> collusion</c><00:03:22.000><c> one</c><00:03:22.219><c> with</c><00:03:22.439><c> another,</c><00:03:22.979><c> it</c>

00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:24.500
is<00:03:23.360><c> rather</c><00:03:23.520><c> nice</c><00:03:23.819><c> that</c><00:03:24.020><c> the</c><00:03:24.219><c> classes</c>

00:03:24.500 --> 00:03:26.120

00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:28.280
But<00:03:26.639><c> we'll</c><00:03:26.759><c> get</c><00:03:26.960><c> to</c><00:03:27.020><c> that</c><00:03:27.240><c> a</c><00:03:27.340><c> little</c><00:03:27.479><c> later</c><00:03:27.719><c> when</c><00:03:27.840><c> we</c><00:03:27.979><c> get</c><00:03:28.120><c> up</c>

00:03:30.219 --> 00:03:34.580
But<00:03:30.400><c> it</c><00:03:30.539><c> would</c><00:03:30.740><c> be</c><00:03:31.020><c> impossible</c><00:03:31.740><c> for</c><00:03:32.300><c> God</c><00:03:32.599><c> to</c><00:03:33.000><c> deliver</c><00:03:33.219><c> us</c><00:03:33.860><c> from</c>

00:03:34.580 --> 00:03:36.719
a<00:03:34.979><c> difficulty</c><00:03:35.400><c> in</c><00:03:35.599><c> our</c><00:03:35.800><c> life,</c><00:03:36.039><c> from</c><00:03:36.280><c> a</c><00:03:36.479><c> trial</c>

that<00:03:40.360><c> difficulty.</c>

00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.000
And<00:03:42.439><c> those</c><00:03:42.800><c> difficulties</c><00:03:43.280><c> are</c><00:03:43.500><c> there</c><00:03:43.620><c> for</c><00:03:43.800><c> a</c><00:03:43.879><c> purpose,</c><00:03:44.939><c> that</c>

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.939

00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.599
I<00:03:53.259><c> think</c><00:03:53.439><c> we</c><00:03:53.680><c> all</c><00:03:53.979><c> have</c><00:03:54.240><c> to</c><00:03:54.419><c> realize</c><00:03:55.000><c> that</c><00:03:55.560><c> when</c><00:03:55.719><c> we</c><00:03:55.939><c> first</c><00:03:56.180><c> learn</c><00:03:56.360><c> the</c>

the<00:04:25.339><c> Kingdom</c><00:04:25.519><c> of</c><00:04:25.720><c> God.</c>

00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:31.560
That<00:04:26.379><c> takes</c><00:04:26.759><c> time</c><00:04:27.399><c> and</c><00:04:27.920><c> there's</c><00:04:28.139><c> going</c><00:04:28.300><c> to</c><00:04:28.399><c> be</c><00:04:28.579><c> trial</c><00:04:28.879><c> and</c><00:04:29.100><c> tribulation</c><00:04:29.620><c> during</c><00:04:29.899><c> that</c><00:04:30.180><c> experience</c><00:04:30.779><c> and</c>

00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:32.779

00:04:32.899 --> 00:04:35.579
So<00:04:33.139><c> God</c><00:04:33.360><c> could</c><00:04:33.639><c> not</c><00:04:33.839><c> deliver</c><00:04:34.079><c> us</c><00:04:34.240><c> out</c><00:04:34.399><c> of</c><00:04:34.480><c> a</c><00:04:34.699><c> difficulty</c><00:04:35.079><c> until</c>

00:04:36.459 --> 00:04:39.279
Remember<00:04:37.019><c> when</c><00:04:37.240><c> the</c><00:04:37.439><c> children</c><00:04:37.639><c> of</c><00:04:37.800><c> Israel</c><00:04:38.160><c> sent</c><00:04:38.439><c> their</c><00:04:38.740><c> elders</c><00:04:38.980><c> to</c>

And<00:04:49.480><c> they</c><00:04:49.620><c> went</c><00:04:49.779><c> in</c><00:04:49.959><c> and</c><00:04:50.120><c> Pharaoh</c><00:04:50.339><c> said,</c><00:04:50.540><c> well,</c><00:04:50.699><c> you</c><00:04:50.800><c> must</c><00:04:50.980><c> be</c>

00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.779
They<00:04:56.040><c> expected</c><00:04:56.620><c> that</c><00:04:57.079><c> everything</c><00:04:57.459><c> was</c><00:04:57.699><c> going</c><00:04:57.860><c> to</c><00:04:57.939><c> be</c><00:04:58.120><c> over</c><00:04:58.259><c> just</c><00:04:58.519><c> like</c><00:04:58.839><c> that</c><00:04:59.319><c> and</c><00:05:00.199><c> that</c><00:05:00.399><c> all</c><00:05:00.560><c> of</c>

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:13.839
and<00:05:12.899><c> things</c><00:05:13.139><c> will</c><00:05:13.319><c> be</c><00:05:13.540><c> perfect.</c>

00:05:14.139 --> 00:05:15.699
There's<00:05:14.360><c> a</c><00:05:14.480><c> lot</c><00:05:14.579><c> of</c><00:05:14.740><c> work</c><00:05:14.879><c> to</c><00:05:15.040><c> be</c><00:05:15.199><c> done</c><00:05:15.300><c> out</c><00:05:15.560><c> there.</c>

It<00:05:25.019><c> won't</c><00:05:25.220><c> happen</c><00:05:25.560><c> overnight.</c>

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.839
It's<00:05:26.879><c> a</c><00:05:27.120><c> wonderful</c><00:05:27.540><c> work</c><00:05:27.800><c> that</c><00:05:27.959><c> we</c><00:05:28.079><c> can</c><00:05:28.220><c> look</c><00:05:28.500><c> forward</c><00:05:28.779><c> to</c><00:05:29.160><c> and</c>

00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:31.860
we're<00:05:30.160><c> going</c><00:05:30.240><c> to</c><00:05:30.360><c> be</c><00:05:30.519><c> able</c><00:05:30.720><c> to</c><00:05:30.939><c> do</c><00:05:31.139><c> it</c><00:05:31.579><c> with</c>

ages<00:05:35.420><c> together.</c>

00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.920
It's<00:05:37.740><c> going</c><00:05:37.879><c> to</c><00:05:38.060><c> be</c><00:05:38.259><c> a</c><00:05:38.620><c> wonderful</c><00:05:39.060><c> experience</c><00:05:39.680><c> and</c><00:05:40.000><c> we're</c><00:05:40.180><c> being</c><00:05:40.420><c> prepared</c><00:05:40.759><c> for</c>

that<00:05:41.160><c> now.</c>

00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:44.420
But<00:05:42.339><c> there's</c><00:05:42.500><c> one</c><00:05:42.680><c> other</c><00:05:42.879><c> thing</c><00:05:43.040><c> that</c><00:05:43.199><c> we</c><00:05:43.319><c> could</c><00:05:43.459><c> mention.</c>

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.040
How<00:05:45.079><c> often</c><00:05:45.459><c> it</c><00:05:45.639><c> has</c><00:05:45.819><c> been</c><00:05:46.040><c> said,</c><00:05:46.240><c> perhaps</c><00:05:46.620><c> by</c><00:05:46.879><c> you,</c><00:05:47.639><c> certainly</c>

00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:52.600
by<00:05:48.339><c> me,</c><00:05:50.000><c> why</c><00:05:50.459><c> did</c><00:05:50.959><c> Christ,</c><00:05:52.040><c> a</c><00:05:52.199><c> man</c><00:05:52.379><c> who</c>

00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.420
lived<00:05:52.740><c> a</c><00:05:53.199><c> perfect</c><00:05:53.620><c> life,</c><00:05:54.839><c> have</c><00:05:55.199><c> to</c><00:05:55.480><c> die?</c>

00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:01.079
Well,<00:05:57.399><c> this</c><00:05:57.620><c> is</c><00:05:57.899><c> not</c><00:05:58.240><c> a</c><00:05:58.459><c> discourse</c><00:05:58.839><c> on</c><00:05:59.720><c> the</c><00:06:00.339><c> reasons</c><00:06:00.699><c> for</c><00:06:00.959><c> the</c>

00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:02.420
death<00:06:01.240><c> of</c><00:06:01.519><c> Christ.</c>

00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.839
I<00:06:02.800><c> only</c><00:06:03.100><c> want</c><00:06:03.259><c> to</c><00:06:03.420><c> pick</c><00:06:03.560><c> up</c><00:06:03.980><c> one.</c>

00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:06.579
And<00:06:05.540><c> there</c><00:06:05.720><c> are</c><00:06:05.860><c> a</c><00:06:05.920><c> lot</c><00:06:06.060><c> of</c><00:06:06.259><c> them.</c>

00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.319
And<00:06:07.139><c> so</c><00:06:07.300><c> just</c><00:06:07.519><c> because</c><00:06:07.860><c> we</c><00:06:08.120><c> present</c><00:06:08.439><c> one</c><00:06:08.740><c> doesn't</c><00:06:09.000><c> mean</c><00:06:09.160><c> that</c>

00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:10.980
we're<00:06:09.620><c> missing</c><00:06:09.939><c> the</c><00:06:10.240><c> others.</c>

00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.420
It's<00:06:11.379><c> just</c><00:06:11.600><c> the</c><00:06:11.800><c> time</c><00:06:11.939><c> doesn't</c><00:06:12.199><c> permit</c><00:06:12.500><c> now.</c>

00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:19.879
But<00:06:13.899><c> just</c><00:06:14.259><c> think,</c><00:06:15.920><c> how</c><00:06:16.459><c> could</c><00:06:16.879><c> God</c><00:06:17.779><c> raise</c><00:06:19.000><c> the</c><00:06:19.319><c> Lord</c><00:06:19.519><c> Jesus</c>

00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.800
from<00:06:20.100><c> the</c><00:06:20.279><c> dead</c><00:06:21.060><c> until</c><00:06:22.860><c> the</c><00:06:23.079><c> Lord</c><00:06:23.220><c> Jesus</c><00:06:23.560><c> had</c>

00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:24.740
died?

00:06:25.779 --> 00:06:28.199
It's<00:06:26.319><c> an</c><00:06:26.459><c> impossible</c><00:06:26.980><c> ability,</c><00:06:27.540><c> isn't</c><00:06:27.720><c> it?</c>

00:06:28.420 --> 00:06:30.560
It<00:06:28.660><c> just</c><00:06:29.040><c> couldn't</c><00:06:29.420><c> happen.</c>

00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.379
And<00:06:50.639><c> therefore,</c><00:06:52.019><c> Christ</c><00:06:52.240><c> couldn't</c><00:06:52.459><c> be</c><00:06:52.680><c> raised</c><00:06:52.879><c> from</c><00:06:53.100><c> the</c><00:06:53.259><c> dead.</c>

00:07:36.100 --> 00:07:40.920
And<00:07:36.579><c> it</c><00:07:36.839><c> is</c><00:07:37.139><c> upon</c><00:07:37.439><c> the</c><00:07:37.720><c> resurrection</c><00:07:38.180><c> of</c><00:07:38.399><c> Christ,</c><00:07:39.300><c> I</c><00:07:39.519><c> hope,</c><00:07:40.480><c> that</c><00:07:40.680><c> we</c>

And<00:12:58.960><c> we</c><00:12:59.179><c> find</c><00:12:59.399><c> that</c><00:12:59.620><c> they're</c><00:12:59.919><c> shown</c><00:13:00.220><c> not</c><00:13:00.899><c> to</c><00:13:01.100><c> have</c><00:13:01.259><c> any</c><00:13:01.600><c> power</c>

00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:03.860
whatsoever<00:13:02.500><c> over</c><00:13:03.220><c> the</c><00:13:03.480><c> elements.</c>

00:13:04.259 --> 00:13:07.360
That<00:13:04.460><c> they</c><00:13:04.820><c> are</c><00:13:05.080><c> not</c><00:13:05.240><c> to</c><00:13:05.379><c> be</c><00:13:05.539><c> compared</c><00:13:05.879><c> with</c><00:13:06.179><c> Yahweh,</c><00:13:07.019><c> the</c><00:13:07.179><c> god</c>

00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:08.580
of<00:13:07.659><c> Israel.</c>

00:13:09.539 --> 00:13:13.039
I'd<00:13:09.860><c> like</c><00:13:09.879><c> to</c><00:13:10.080><c> bring</c><00:13:10.200><c> up</c><00:13:10.480><c> a</c><00:13:10.679><c> set</c><00:13:10.860><c> of</c><00:13:11.120><c> verses</c><00:13:11.360><c> that</c><00:13:11.580><c> come</c><00:13:11.700><c> up</c><00:13:11.960><c> particularly</c><00:13:12.580><c> in</c>

00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:14.960
this<00:13:13.580><c> play,</c><00:13:14.460><c> along</c><00:13:14.779><c> with</c>

00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.659
one<00:13:15.139><c> that</c><00:13:15.259><c> comes</c><00:13:15.480><c> in</c><00:13:15.659><c> the</c><00:13:15.759><c> next,</c><00:13:16.299><c> which</c><00:13:16.539><c> puts</c><00:13:16.759><c> us</c><00:13:16.919><c> into</c><00:13:17.139><c> perspective.</c>

00:13:17.700 --> 00:13:21.980
So<00:13:17.879><c> it</c><00:13:18.000><c> isn't</c><00:13:18.200><c> just</c><00:13:18.480><c> the</c><00:13:18.720><c> idea</c><00:13:18.980><c> that,</c><00:13:19.220><c> well,</c><00:13:20.139><c> somebody</c><00:13:20.639><c> thought</c><00:13:21.639><c> that</c>

00:13:21.980 --> 00:13:23.299
these<00:13:22.240><c> might</c><00:13:22.480><c> be</c><00:13:22.759><c> challenges</c><00:13:23.179><c> to</c>

00:13:23.299 --> 00:13:24.919
the<00:13:23.720><c> Egyptian</c><00:13:23.860><c> gods.</c>

00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:26.220
But<00:13:25.240><c> it</c><00:13:25.360><c> makes</c><00:13:25.620><c> it</c><00:13:25.740><c> very</c><00:13:26.100><c> plain.</c>

00:13:26.299 --> 00:13:29.700
And<00:13:26.419><c> later</c><00:13:26.580><c> on,</c><00:13:26.740><c> we're</c><00:13:26.919><c> going</c><00:13:27.000><c> to</c><00:13:27.059><c> come</c><00:13:27.240><c> up</c><00:13:27.580><c> with</c><00:13:27.799><c> an</c><00:13:27.940><c> even</c><00:13:28.340><c> plainer</c><00:13:28.700><c> verse,</c><00:13:29.500><c> the</c>

00:13:29.700 --> 00:13:30.539
most<00:13:30.019><c> plain</c><00:13:30.159><c> we</c><00:13:30.320><c> can</c>

00:13:30.539 --> 00:13:31.320
possibly<00:13:30.960><c> have.</c>

00:13:31.700 --> 00:13:33.659
If<00:13:31.879><c> you</c><00:13:31.879><c> remember,</c><00:13:32.320><c> there</c><00:13:32.480><c> was</c><00:13:32.659><c> a</c><00:13:32.779><c> time</c><00:13:32.879><c> when</c><00:13:33.039><c> Moses</c><00:13:33.299><c> went</c><00:13:33.460><c> in</c>

00:13:33.659 --> 00:13:35.799
before<00:13:33.960><c> Pharaoh</c><00:13:34.320><c> and</c><00:13:34.879><c> said,</c><00:13:35.320><c> Yahweh</c><00:13:35.639><c> said</c>

00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:36.860
to<00:13:35.960><c> let</c><00:13:36.080><c> his</c><00:13:36.299><c> people</c><00:13:36.500><c> go.</c>

00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:38.460
And<00:13:37.440><c> Pharaoh</c><00:13:37.580><c> said,</c><00:13:37.820><c> who's</c><00:13:38.159><c> Yahweh?</c>

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:40.080
That<00:13:38.600><c> I</c><00:13:38.779><c> should</c><00:13:38.899><c> obey</c><00:13:39.159><c> him.</c>

00:13:40.500 --> 00:13:42.799
Well,<00:13:40.639><c> they're</c><00:13:40.899><c> going</c><00:13:40.919><c> to</c><00:13:41.039><c> learn</c><00:13:41.179><c> who</c><00:13:41.399><c> Yahweh</c><00:13:41.779><c> is.</c>

00:13:42.940 --> 00:13:46.919
In<00:13:43.080><c> the</c><00:13:43.299><c> 14th</c><00:13:43.820><c> verse</c><00:13:43.980><c> of</c><00:13:44.080><c> this</c><00:13:44.279><c> ninth</c><00:13:44.580><c> chapter,</c><00:13:45.080><c> we</c><00:13:45.220><c> read,</c><00:13:46.080><c> that</c><00:13:46.200><c> thou</c><00:13:46.559><c> may</c>

00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.159
knowest<00:13:47.740><c> that</c><00:13:48.720><c> there</c><00:13:48.940><c> is</c>

00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:50.700

00:13:50.779 --> 00:13:52.659
Rather<00:13:51.039><c> interesting,</c><00:13:51.639><c> isn't</c><00:13:51.779><c> it?</c>

00:13:52.899 --> 00:13:54.679
That's<00:13:53.299><c> what</c><00:13:53.700><c> Pharaoh</c><00:13:54.019><c> wanted</c><00:13:54.340><c> to</c><00:13:54.559><c> know.</c>

00:13:54.700 --> 00:13:55.580
Who<00:13:54.879><c> is</c><00:13:55.200><c> Yahweh?</c>

00:13:55.740 --> 00:13:57.120
He<00:13:55.899><c> said,</c><00:13:56.019><c> I'm</c><00:13:56.159><c> going</c><00:13:56.259><c> to</c><00:13:56.360><c> show</c><00:13:56.519><c> you</c><00:13:56.600><c> who</c><00:13:56.740><c> he</c><00:13:56.840><c> is.</c>

00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:58.779
In<00:13:57.580><c> fact,</c><00:13:57.759><c> I'm</c><00:13:57.940><c> going</c><00:13:58.039><c> to</c><00:13:58.100><c> do</c><00:13:58.220><c> more</c><00:13:58.440><c> than</c><00:13:58.620><c> that.</c>

00:13:59.019 --> 00:14:02.200
I'm<00:13:59.299><c> going</c><00:13:59.419><c> to</c><00:13:59.500><c> show</c><00:13:59.679><c> you</c><00:13:59.840><c> that</c><00:13:59.980><c> there</c><00:14:00.179><c> is</c><00:14:00.399><c> no</c><00:14:00.600><c> god</c><00:14:00.799><c> like</c><00:14:01.080><c> me,</c><00:14:01.820><c> because</c><00:14:01.960><c> I</c>

00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:03.440
have<00:14:02.360><c> power</c><00:14:02.679><c> over</c><00:14:03.000><c> all</c><00:14:03.299><c> of</c>

the<00:14:03.539><c> gods</c><00:14:03.720><c> of</c><00:14:03.919><c> the</c><00:14:04.080><c> Egyptians.</c>

00:14:04.659 --> 00:14:06.519
They<00:14:04.840><c> don't</c><00:14:05.259><c> really</c><00:14:05.659><c> even</c><00:14:05.940><c> exist.</c>

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.179
But<00:14:07.179><c> first,</c><00:14:07.480><c> you've</c><00:14:07.659><c> got</c><00:14:07.779><c> to</c><00:14:07.980><c> find</c><00:14:08.179><c> out</c><00:14:08.360><c> that</c><00:14:08.480><c> I</c><00:14:08.740><c> exist.</c>

00:14:09.419 --> 00:14:11.480
Then<00:14:09.639><c> you've</c><00:14:09.860><c> got</c><00:14:10.000><c> to</c><00:14:10.159><c> find</c><00:14:10.360><c> out</c><00:14:10.539><c> that</c><00:14:10.639><c> I'm</c><00:14:10.759><c> more</c><00:14:11.100><c> powerful</c>

00:14:12.179 --> 00:14:15.720
And<00:14:12.580><c> finally,</c><00:14:13.379><c> you</c><00:14:13.559><c> can</c><00:14:13.779><c> come</c><00:14:13.980><c> to</c><00:14:14.100><c> the</c><00:14:14.379><c> conclusion</c><00:14:14.740><c> that</c><00:14:15.159><c> those</c><00:14:15.460><c> gods</c>

Remember,<00:15:03.740><c> she</c><00:15:03.879><c> was</c><00:15:04.059><c> still</c><00:15:04.240><c> a</c><00:15:04.360><c> child</c><00:15:04.580><c> by</c><00:15:04.820><c> her</c><00:15:04.860><c> bearing</c><00:15:05.039><c> age,</c>

00:15:05.419 --> 00:15:08.320
and<00:15:05.500><c> she</c><00:15:05.820><c> does</c><00:15:06.139><c> become</c><00:15:06.960><c> an</c><00:15:07.419><c> ancestor</c><00:15:07.960><c> of</c><00:15:08.159><c> our</c>

00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:10.399
Lord<00:15:08.460><c> and</c><00:15:08.679><c> Savior,</c><00:15:08.940><c> Jesus</c><00:15:09.320><c> Christ.</c>

00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:14.000
But<00:15:10.779><c> it</c><00:15:10.960><c> is</c><00:15:11.320><c> interesting</c><00:15:11.980><c> that</c><00:15:12.559><c> she'd</c><00:15:12.899><c> heard</c><00:15:13.000><c> about</c><00:15:13.259><c> it.</c>

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:15.919
And<00:15:14.240><c> so</c><00:15:14.419><c> hadn't</c><00:15:14.759><c> the</c><00:15:14.960><c> other</c><00:15:15.139><c> people</c><00:15:15.379><c> of</c><00:15:15.559><c> Jericho.</c>

00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.220
And<00:15:16.500><c> they</c><00:15:16.639><c> were</c><00:15:16.860><c> frightened</c><00:15:17.159><c> of</c><00:15:17.340><c> the</c><00:15:17.480><c> children</c><00:15:17.700><c> of</c><00:15:17.840><c> Israel</c>

00:15:18.220 --> 00:15:20.419
because<00:15:18.940><c> they'd</c><00:15:19.379><c> heard</c><00:15:19.539><c> what</c><00:15:19.820><c> God</c><00:15:20.080><c> had</c><00:15:20.259><c> done</c>

00:15:20.419 --> 00:15:21.960
on<00:15:20.559><c> their</c><00:15:20.820><c> behalf.</c>

00:15:22.179 --> 00:15:25.279
And<00:15:22.440><c> so</c><00:15:22.679><c> that</c><00:15:22.940><c> my</c><00:15:23.259><c> name</c><00:15:23.460><c> may</c><00:15:23.720><c> be</c><00:15:23.940><c> declared</c><00:15:24.279><c> throughout</c><00:15:24.980><c> the</c>

00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:27.940
earth<00:15:25.720><c> has</c><00:15:27.159><c> taken</c><00:15:27.460><c> place.</c>

00:15:28.419 --> 00:15:31.700
And<00:15:28.639><c> not</c><00:15:28.860><c> only</c><00:15:29.019><c> was</c><00:15:29.200><c> it</c><00:15:29.419><c> declared</c><00:15:29.679><c> throughout</c><00:15:30.440><c> the</c><00:15:30.659><c> earth</c><00:15:31.000><c> at</c>

00:15:31.700 --> 00:15:33.100
that<00:15:32.059><c> time.</c>

00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:35.279
We<00:15:33.840><c> hear</c><00:15:34.100><c> about</c><00:15:34.360><c> it</c><00:15:34.519><c> today,</c><00:15:34.840><c> don't</c><00:15:35.139><c> we?</c>

00:15:35.379 --> 00:15:38.720
That's<00:15:35.580><c> why</c><00:15:35.700><c> we're</c><00:15:35.879><c> talking</c><00:15:36.179><c> about</c><00:15:36.460><c> it</c><00:15:36.620><c> this</c><00:15:36.779><c> week</c><00:15:37.159><c> at</c><00:15:37.480><c> Bible</c><00:15:37.820><c> school.</c>

00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:42.259
And<00:15:39.039><c> so</c><00:15:39.240><c> we</c><00:15:39.419><c> find</c><00:15:39.659><c> that</c><00:15:39.799><c> it</c><00:15:39.899><c> was</c><00:15:40.059><c> a</c><00:15:40.080><c> benefit</c><00:15:40.500><c> for</c><00:15:40.919><c> the</c><00:15:41.200><c> Israelites,</c><00:15:41.879><c> for</c><00:15:42.019><c> the</c>

00:15:42.259 --> 00:15:43.379
Egyptians,<00:15:42.879><c> for</c><00:15:43.019><c> the</c><00:15:43.179><c> people</c>

00:15:43.379 --> 00:15:45.480
around<00:15:43.700><c> about</c><00:15:44.000><c> them,</c><00:15:44.279><c> for</c><00:15:44.480><c> all</c><00:15:44.700><c> people</c><00:15:44.980><c> that</c><00:15:45.139><c> have</c><00:15:45.299><c> lived</c>

00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.539
since,<00:15:46.480><c> including</c><00:15:46.919><c> ourselves.</c>

00:15:47.899 --> 00:15:51.299
And<00:15:48.220><c> interestingly</c><00:15:48.639><c> enough,</c><00:15:49.419><c> the</c><00:15:49.539><c> time</c><00:15:49.759><c> is</c><00:15:50.000><c> going</c><00:15:50.139><c> to</c><00:15:50.379><c> come,</c>

00:15:51.379 --> 00:15:53.759
the<00:15:51.659><c> Lord</c><00:15:51.860><c> says,</c><00:15:52.940><c> when</c><00:15:53.120><c> they'll</c><00:15:53.320><c> no</c><00:15:53.519><c> longer</c>

00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:57.279
say,<00:15:54.720><c> see</c><00:15:54.960><c> what</c><00:15:55.080><c> the</c><00:15:55.259><c> Lord</c><00:15:55.379><c> did</c><00:15:55.539><c> back</c><00:15:55.799><c> in</c><00:15:55.960><c> the</c><00:15:56.080><c> time</c><00:15:56.220><c> of</c><00:15:56.419><c> Egypt.</c>

00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:00.059
But<00:15:57.759><c> they're</c><00:15:58.019><c> going</c><00:15:58.100><c> to</c><00:15:58.259><c> say,</c><00:15:58.440><c> see</c><00:15:58.639><c> what</c><00:15:58.820><c> God</c><00:15:59.100><c> has</c><00:15:59.360><c> done</c><00:15:59.620><c> at</c>

00:16:00.059 --> 00:16:01.559
the<00:16:00.240><c> time</c><00:16:00.399><c> when</c><00:16:00.519><c> the</c><00:16:00.620><c> Lord</c><00:16:00.799><c> Jesus</c><00:16:01.200><c> returns</c>

00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.080
because<00:16:01.879><c> there</c><00:16:02.039><c> are</c><00:16:02.120><c> so</c><00:16:02.259><c> many</c><00:16:02.700><c> mighty</c><00:16:02.980><c> works</c><00:16:03.480><c> that</c><00:16:03.860><c> are</c><00:16:03.980><c> going</c>

00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:05.480
to<00:16:04.200><c> be</c><00:16:04.399><c> performed</c><00:16:04.720><c> at</c><00:16:04.919><c> that</c><00:16:05.159><c> time.</c>

00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:07.440
And<00:16:06.059><c> we</c><00:16:06.220><c> look</c><00:16:06.419><c> forward</c><00:16:06.740><c> to</c><00:16:06.980><c> it.</c>

00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.120
And<00:16:08.200><c> so</c><00:16:08.399><c> here</c><00:16:08.620><c> we</c><00:16:08.779><c> find</c><00:16:09.080><c> that</c><00:16:09.299><c> this</c><00:16:09.539><c> hail</c><00:16:09.740><c> comes.</c>

00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:11.080
There's<00:16:10.340><c> one</c><00:16:10.539><c> other</c><00:16:10.759><c> reference.</c>

00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:13.399
It's<00:16:11.600><c> actually</c><00:16:11.980><c> in</c><00:16:12.179><c> the</c><00:16:12.299><c> next</c><00:16:12.600><c> play.</c>

00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:14.000
But<00:16:13.580><c> that's</c><00:16:13.779><c> all</c><00:16:13.899><c> right.</c>

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:15.299
We<00:16:14.100><c> can</c><00:16:14.240><c> take</c><00:16:14.419><c> a</c><00:16:14.539><c> quick</c><00:16:14.659><c> look</c><00:16:14.840><c> at</c><00:16:15.019><c> it.</c>

00:16:15.460 --> 00:16:17.500
It's<00:16:15.659><c> in</c><00:16:15.779><c> the</c><00:16:15.840><c> 10th</c><00:16:16.120><c> chapter,</c><00:16:16.440><c> verse</c><00:16:16.700><c> 2.</c>

00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:23.320
And<00:16:17.879><c> there</c><00:16:18.120><c> it</c><00:16:18.340><c> says,</c><00:16:19.299><c> that</c><00:16:19.399><c> ye</c><00:16:19.779><c> may</c><00:16:20.240><c> know</c><00:16:21.000><c> that</c><00:16:21.559><c> I</c><00:16:21.980><c> am</c><00:16:22.220><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:24.259
Who<00:16:23.580><c> is</c><00:16:23.879><c> Yahweh?</c>

00:16:24.419 --> 00:16:26.879
Pharaoh<00:16:24.600><c> said</c><00:16:24.860><c> that</c><00:16:25.159><c> I</c><00:16:25.360><c> should</c><00:16:25.559><c> obey</c><00:16:25.879><c> him.</c>

00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:28.240
All<00:16:27.259><c> that's</c><00:16:27.460><c> being</c><00:16:27.759><c> done.</c>

00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:31.139
That<00:16:28.820><c> you</c><00:16:29.139><c> may</c><00:16:29.460><c> know</c><00:16:29.799><c> that</c><00:16:30.039><c> I</c><00:16:30.220><c> am</c><00:16:30.440><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:35.259
And<00:16:31.659><c> that</c><00:16:31.919><c> all</c><00:16:32.220><c> people</c><00:16:32.519><c> may</c><00:16:32.799><c> know</c><00:16:33.220><c> that</c><00:16:34.200><c> he</c><00:16:34.500><c> is</c><00:16:34.740><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:16:35.259 --> 00:16:39.700
And<00:16:36.039><c> consequently,</c><00:16:36.460><c> we</c><00:16:36.720><c> find</c><00:16:37.080><c> so</c><00:16:37.460><c> many</c><00:16:37.659><c> verses,</c><00:16:38.559><c> such</c><00:16:38.980><c> as</c><00:16:39.519><c> in</c>

00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:41.639
the<00:16:39.840><c> 8th</c><00:16:40.259><c> Psalm,</c><00:16:41.019><c> where</c><00:16:41.220><c> it</c><00:16:41.340><c> says,</c>

00:16:41.940 --> 00:16:46.919
O<00:16:41.940><c> Lord,</c><00:16:42.440><c> our</c><00:16:42.720><c> Lord,</c><00:16:43.860><c> thy</c><00:16:44.120><c> name</c><00:16:44.340><c> is</c><00:16:44.600><c> great</c><00:16:44.840><c> in</c><00:16:45.019><c> all</c><00:16:45.220><c> the</c><00:16:45.419><c> earth,</c>

00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:48.879
is<00:16:47.840><c> already.</c>

00:16:49.340 --> 00:16:55.460
And<00:16:49.860><c> just</c><00:16:50.220><c> think</c><00:16:50.440><c> what</c><00:16:50.580><c> it</c><00:16:50.779><c> will</c><00:16:50.980><c> be</c><00:16:51.399><c> in</c><00:16:51.980><c> the</c><00:16:52.179><c> kingdom</c><00:16:52.379><c> age,</c><00:16:53.100><c> when</c><00:16:53.299><c> Christ</c><00:16:53.639><c> rules</c><00:16:53.919><c> the</c><00:16:54.139><c> world</c><00:16:54.340><c> in</c><00:16:54.539><c> righteousness.</c>

00:16:55.620 --> 00:16:59.019
And<00:16:55.960><c> so</c><00:16:56.120><c> we</c><00:16:56.220><c> find</c><00:16:56.440><c> that</c><00:16:56.639><c> the</c><00:16:56.779><c> hail</c><00:16:56.980><c> comes,</c><00:16:58.120><c> and</c><00:16:58.299><c> rain</c><00:16:58.539><c> comes,</c>

00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:00.899
and<00:16:59.639><c> thunder,</c><00:17:00.340><c> and</c><00:17:00.539><c> lightning.</c>

00:17:00.899 --> 00:17:04.000
And<00:17:01.559><c> there</c><00:17:01.740><c> is</c><00:17:02.139><c> devastation</c><00:17:02.820><c> throughout</c><00:17:03.159><c> the</c><00:17:03.399><c> entire</c><00:17:03.759><c> land</c>

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:05.099
of<00:17:04.200><c> Egypt.</c>

00:17:05.779 --> 00:17:09.920
And<00:17:05.980><c> then</c><00:17:06.319><c> we</c><00:17:06.579><c> find</c><00:17:07.039><c> what</c><00:17:07.460><c> the</c><00:17:07.779><c> effect</c><00:17:08.019><c> is</c><00:17:08.539><c> upon</c><00:17:09.019><c> Pharaoh.</c>

00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:12.079
What<00:17:10.759><c> a</c><00:17:11.019><c> declaration</c><00:17:11.440><c> this</c><00:17:11.759><c> is.</c>

00:17:12.420 --> 00:17:14.660
It<00:17:12.579><c> just</c><00:17:12.859><c> doesn't</c><00:17:13.160><c> go</c><00:17:13.500><c> far</c><00:17:13.799><c> enough.</c>

00:17:14.900 --> 00:17:16.720
It<00:17:15.160><c> stops</c><00:17:15.440><c> quite</c><00:17:15.759><c> abruptly.</c>

00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:21.759
Pharaoh<00:17:17.160><c> says</c><00:17:17.460><c> in</c><00:17:17.619><c> verse</c><00:17:17.900><c> 27,</c><00:17:19.700><c> I</c><00:17:19.839><c> have</c><00:17:20.160><c> sinned.</c>

00:17:21.819 --> 00:17:23.319
That's<00:17:22.140><c> quite</c><00:17:22.299><c> a</c><00:17:22.539><c> confession.</c>

00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:25.940
I<00:17:24.079><c> have</c><00:17:24.680><c> sinned.</c>

00:17:25.940 --> 00:17:30.299
And<00:17:26.279><c> he</c><00:17:26.440><c> said,</c><00:17:27.480><c> the</c><00:17:27.579><c> Lord,</c><00:17:28.000><c> or</c><00:17:28.279><c> Yahweh,</c><00:17:28.799><c> is</c><00:17:29.119><c> righteous.</c>

00:17:30.859 --> 00:17:32.579
That's<00:17:31.259><c> another</c><00:17:31.519><c> tremendous</c><00:17:32.079><c> confession.</c>

00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:37.519

00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:51.359
And<00:17:47.079><c> he</c><00:17:47.240><c> even</c><00:17:47.519><c> goes</c><00:17:48.839><c> one</c><00:17:49.119><c> step</c><00:17:49.299><c> further</c><00:17:49.599><c> and</c><00:17:49.759><c> says,</c><00:17:50.460><c> I</c><00:17:50.779><c> and</c><00:17:51.039><c> my</c>

00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:55.880
That's<00:17:54.539><c> quite</c><00:17:54.779><c> a</c><00:17:55.019><c> confession.</c>

00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.779
But<00:17:56.160><c> unfortunately,</c><00:17:57.640><c> it</c><00:17:57.700><c> doesn't</c><00:17:58.000><c> go</c><00:17:58.259><c> far</c><00:17:58.519><c> enough.</c>

00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:03.299
And<00:17:58.980><c> his</c><00:17:59.220><c> character</c><00:17:59.859><c> of</c><00:18:00.579><c> evil</c><00:18:00.980><c> is</c><00:18:01.619><c> much</c><00:18:01.940><c> greater</c><00:18:02.460><c> than</c><00:18:02.920><c> his</c>

00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:08.460
Verse<00:18:05.319><c> 28,</c><00:18:06.400><c> he</c><00:18:06.579><c> says,</c><00:18:07.240><c> I</c><00:18:07.240><c> will</c><00:18:07.599><c> let</c><00:18:07.819><c> you</c><00:18:08.019><c> go.</c>

00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:10.400
But<00:18:08.940><c> it</c><00:18:09.039><c> has</c><00:18:09.220><c> a</c><00:18:09.400><c> string</c><00:18:09.519><c> attached</c><00:18:09.900><c> to</c><00:18:10.059><c> it.</c>

00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:15.759
He's<00:18:11.339><c> asking</c><00:18:11.519><c> Moses</c><00:18:11.900><c> to</c><00:18:12.259><c> entreat</c><00:18:12.599><c> Pharaoh</c><00:18:12.980><c> to</c><00:18:13.660><c> stop</c><00:18:13.980><c> this</c><00:18:14.480><c> hail</c><00:18:14.740><c> coming</c><00:18:15.019><c> down</c><00:18:15.299><c> from</c><00:18:15.500><c> the</c><00:18:15.640><c> sky.</c>

00:18:15.900 --> 00:18:18.240
It's<00:18:16.299><c> destroying</c><00:18:16.740><c> his</c><00:18:17.000><c> whole</c><00:18:17.200><c> empire.</c>

00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:21.559
And<00:18:18.940><c> he</c><00:18:19.119><c> asks</c><00:18:19.380><c> Moses</c><00:18:19.819><c> to</c><00:18:20.119><c> entreat</c><00:18:20.579><c> Pharaoh.</c>

00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:29.180
And<00:18:25.259><c> consequently,</c><00:18:25.720><c> in</c><00:18:25.819><c> verse</c><00:18:26.019><c> 30,</c><00:18:26.359><c> Moses</c><00:18:26.720><c> says,</c><00:18:28.160><c> I</c><00:18:28.319><c> know</c><00:18:28.819><c> that</c><00:18:29.019><c> you</c>

00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.480
He's<00:18:31.819><c> made</c><00:18:31.960><c> a</c><00:18:32.160><c> confession</c><00:18:32.440><c> that</c><00:18:32.599><c> he's</c><00:18:32.900><c> sinned,</c><00:18:33.559><c> that</c><00:18:33.680><c> God's</c><00:18:34.059><c> righteous,</c>

He<00:21:58.900><c> wanted</c><00:21:59.140><c> to</c><00:21:59.359><c> know</c><00:21:59.500><c> how</c><00:21:59.980><c> many.</c>

00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:02.299
If<00:22:00.579><c> there's</c><00:22:00.759><c> going</c><00:22:00.940><c> to</c><00:22:01.039><c> be</c><00:22:01.180><c> someone,</c><00:22:01.500><c> I'd</c><00:22:01.759><c> have</c><00:22:01.819><c> maybe</c><00:22:02.099><c> a</c><00:22:02.200><c> few</c>

00:22:02.299 --> 00:22:03.420
of<00:22:02.400><c> your</c><00:22:02.539><c> priests</c><00:22:02.779><c> go</c><00:22:03.019><c> out</c>

00:22:03.420 --> 00:22:05.160
and<00:22:03.680><c> offer</c><00:22:03.839><c> the</c><00:22:04.200><c> sacrifices.</c>

00:22:05.380 --> 00:22:07.880
He<00:22:05.579><c> had</c><00:22:05.759><c> also</c><00:22:06.039><c> suggested</c><00:22:06.519><c> earlier</c><00:22:07.000><c> that</c><00:22:07.299><c> maybe</c><00:22:07.559><c> they</c><00:22:07.680><c> should</c>

00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:08.900
offer<00:22:08.059><c> those</c><00:22:08.319><c> sacrifices</c>

00:22:08.900 --> 00:22:10.160
right<00:22:09.200><c> there</c><00:22:09.359><c> in</c><00:22:09.460><c> the</c><00:22:09.559><c> land</c><00:22:09.720><c> of</c><00:22:09.900><c> Egypt.</c>

00:22:10.420 --> 00:22:12.190
And<00:22:10.559><c> Moses</c><00:22:10.740><c> said,</c><00:22:10.920><c> we</c><00:22:11.000><c> can't</c><00:22:11.240><c> do</c><00:22:11.460><c> that.</c>

00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:12.819
Why?

00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:15.140
That'll<00:22:13.140><c> be</c><00:22:13.299><c> the</c><00:22:13.480><c> abomination</c><00:22:13.880><c> of</c><00:22:14.099><c> the</c><00:22:14.259><c> Egyptians.</c>

00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:17.700
If<00:22:15.779><c> we</c><00:22:15.900><c> may</c><00:22:16.000><c> have</c><00:22:16.099><c> to</c><00:22:16.279><c> sacrifice</c><00:22:17.279><c> cattle,</c>

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:20.720
and<00:22:18.279><c> if</c><00:22:18.420><c> we</c><00:22:18.599><c> sacrifice</c><00:22:19.079><c> cattle</c><00:22:19.380><c> and</c><00:22:19.559><c> the</c><00:22:19.720><c> Egyptians</c><00:22:19.980><c> worship</c><00:22:20.420><c> them,</c>

00:22:20.980 --> 00:22:22.549
they're<00:22:21.279><c> going</c><00:22:21.400><c> to</c><00:22:21.619><c> stone</c><00:22:21.819><c> us.</c>

00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.059
And<00:22:23.180><c> so</c><00:22:23.299><c> now</c><00:22:23.660><c> Pharaoh</c><00:22:23.900><c> says,</c><00:22:24.480><c> yeah,</c><00:22:24.660><c> go</c><00:22:24.940><c> serve</c><00:22:25.240><c> the</c><00:22:25.420><c> Lord</c><00:22:25.579><c> your</c><00:22:25.779><c> God.</c>

00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:27.319
But<00:22:26.500><c> who</c><00:22:26.720><c> will</c><00:22:26.980><c> go?</c>

00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.440
And<00:22:27.880><c> Moses</c><00:22:28.319><c> tells</c><00:22:28.720><c> him</c><00:22:29.140><c> exactly</c><00:22:29.720><c> who's</c><00:22:30.039><c> going</c><00:22:30.220><c> to</c><00:22:30.319><c> go.</c>

00:22:30.539 --> 00:22:32.900
And<00:22:30.779><c> Pharaoh</c><00:22:30.900><c> can't</c><00:22:31.279><c> quite</c><00:22:31.539><c> accept</c><00:22:31.940><c> that.</c>

00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:34.380
He<00:22:33.140><c> said,</c><00:22:33.619><c> we</c><00:22:33.640><c> will</c><00:22:33.940><c> go.</c>

00:22:34.619 --> 00:22:39.559
Our<00:22:34.920><c> young</c><00:22:35.500><c> and</c><00:22:36.220><c> our</c><00:22:36.539><c> old,</c><00:22:37.539><c> our</c><00:22:37.779><c> sons</c><00:22:38.299><c> and</c><00:22:38.799><c> our</c><00:22:39.079><c> daughters,</c>

00:22:40.059 --> 00:22:42.099
our<00:22:40.319><c> flocks</c><00:22:40.859><c> and</c><00:22:41.240><c> our</c><00:22:41.500><c> herds.</c>

00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:44.980
He<00:22:42.660><c> makes</c><00:22:42.900><c> it</c><00:22:43.279><c> absolutely</c><00:22:43.980><c> plain</c><00:22:44.359><c> to</c><00:22:44.640><c> Pharaoh</c>

00:22:44.980 --> 00:22:48.960
that<00:22:45.740><c> they're</c><00:22:46.079><c> going</c><00:22:46.140><c> to</c><00:22:46.319><c> take</c><00:22:46.599><c> everything</c><00:22:47.359><c> with</c><00:22:47.859><c> him.</c>

00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:53.579
And<00:22:49.440><c> it's</c><00:22:49.859><c> unlikely</c><00:22:50.400><c> that</c><00:22:51.000><c> Pharaoh</c><00:22:51.339><c> was</c><00:22:51.660><c> so</c><00:22:52.640><c> dull</c><00:22:52.859><c> of</c><00:22:53.160><c> mind</c>

00:22:53.579 --> 00:22:55.559
that<00:22:53.759><c> he</c><00:22:53.920><c> wouldn't</c><00:22:54.160><c> realize</c><00:22:54.559><c> that</c><00:22:54.740><c> once</c><00:22:54.940><c> they</c><00:22:55.160><c> go,</c><00:22:55.339><c> they're</c>

00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:57.059
not<00:22:55.680><c> going</c><00:22:55.819><c> to</c><00:22:55.880><c> come</c><00:22:56.079><c> back.</c>

00:22:57.319 --> 00:22:59.559
That<00:22:57.539><c> even</c><00:22:57.759><c> though</c><00:22:57.900><c> they're</c><00:22:58.039><c> going</c><00:22:58.279><c> three</c><00:22:58.559><c> days</c><00:22:58.839><c> into</c><00:22:59.079><c> the</c><00:22:59.240><c> wilderness,</c>

00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:01.559
well,<00:23:00.039><c> sure,</c><00:23:00.299><c> they'll</c><00:23:00.480><c> go</c><00:23:00.559><c> three</c><00:23:00.819><c> days</c><00:23:01.039><c> into</c><00:23:01.200><c> the</c><00:23:01.339><c> wilderness</c>

00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:03.460
and<00:23:01.799><c> continue</c><00:23:02.140><c> on</c><00:23:02.319><c> after</c><00:23:02.559><c> that.</c>

00:23:04.099 --> 00:23:06.980
But<00:23:04.180><c> that</c><00:23:04.460><c> was</c><00:23:04.880><c> what</c><00:23:05.440><c> Moses</c><00:23:05.940><c> said.</c>

00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:08.119
And<00:23:07.359><c> Pharaoh</c><00:23:07.640><c> answers.</c>

00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:10.339
You<00:23:08.359><c> notice</c><00:23:08.619><c> how</c><00:23:08.819><c> he</c><00:23:09.079><c> backs</c><00:23:09.339><c> up</c><00:23:09.559><c> very</c><00:23:09.940><c> quickly.</c>

00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:12.160
Verse<00:23:10.880><c> 11,</c><00:23:11.660><c> not</c><00:23:11.920><c> so.</c>

00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:13.480
We're<00:23:12.339><c> in</c><00:23:12.480><c> the</c><00:23:12.599><c> 10th</c><00:23:12.819><c> chapter</c><00:23:13.059><c> now.</c>

00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:15.539
Verse<00:23:13.880><c> 11,</c><00:23:14.420><c> not</c><00:23:14.599><c> so.</c>

00:23:16.460 --> 00:23:18.900
Go<00:23:16.900><c> now,</c><00:23:17.599><c> ye</c><00:23:17.759><c> that</c><00:23:17.920><c> are</c><00:23:18.119><c> men.</c>

00:23:19.740 --> 00:23:21.960
In<00:23:19.920><c> other</c><00:23:20.099><c> words,</c><00:23:20.500><c> leave</c><00:23:20.680><c> the</c><00:23:20.839><c> rest</c><00:23:21.000><c> behind.</c>

00:23:22.299 --> 00:23:24.880
And<00:23:22.460><c> then</c><00:23:22.599><c> they</c><00:23:22.759><c> were</c><00:23:22.920><c> driven</c><00:23:23.119><c> out</c><00:23:23.400><c> from</c><00:23:23.579><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:23:24.059><c> presence.</c>

00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:26.319
Go<00:23:25.319><c> now,</c><00:23:25.759><c> ye</c><00:23:25.920><c> that</c><00:23:26.059><c> are</c><00:23:26.200><c> men.</c>

00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.240
Which<00:23:26.619><c> would</c><00:23:26.880><c> mean</c><00:23:27.380><c> they</c><00:23:27.859><c> would</c><00:23:28.079><c> have</c><00:23:28.279><c> to</c><00:23:28.359><c> leave</c><00:23:28.859><c> children,</c>

00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:32.660
wives,<00:23:31.740><c> and</c><00:23:31.880><c> their</c><00:23:32.099><c> livestock.</c>

00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:35.900
Everything<00:23:33.460><c> they</c><00:23:33.700><c> needed</c><00:23:33.960><c> to</c><00:23:34.220><c> offer</c><00:23:34.500><c> as</c><00:23:34.720><c> sacrifice</c><00:23:35.279><c> would</c><00:23:35.740><c> be</c>

00:23:35.900 --> 00:23:37.240
left<00:23:36.119><c> behind.</c>

00:23:37.420 --> 00:23:39.420
It<00:23:37.579><c> would</c><00:23:37.859><c> not</c><00:23:38.079><c> be</c><00:23:38.259><c> a</c><00:23:38.420><c> practical</c><00:23:38.839><c> arrangement,</c>

00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:42.960
even<00:23:40.119><c> if</c><00:23:40.339><c> Pharaoh</c><00:23:40.539><c> was</c><00:23:40.779><c> to</c><00:23:40.940><c> allow</c><00:23:41.359><c> a</c><00:23:41.839><c> few</c><00:23:42.000><c> sacrifices</c><00:23:42.640><c> to</c><00:23:42.819><c> be</c>

00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:44.099
taken<00:23:43.240><c> along.</c>

00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:46.420
That's<00:23:44.700><c> not</c><00:23:45.119><c> what</c><00:23:45.420><c> God</c><00:23:45.759><c> had</c><00:23:46.019><c> demanded.</c>

00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:50.539
He<00:23:47.119><c> said,</c><00:23:47.420><c> Israel,</c><00:23:48.240><c> the</c><00:23:48.480><c> nation,</c><00:23:49.220><c> is</c><00:23:49.480><c> my</c><00:23:49.839><c> firstborn.</c>

00:23:50.940 --> 00:23:55.359
You<00:23:51.200><c> let</c><00:23:51.400><c> my</c><00:23:51.799><c> firstborn</c><00:23:52.339><c> go</c><00:23:52.859><c> or</c><00:23:53.420><c> I'm</c><00:23:53.640><c> going</c><00:23:53.819><c> to</c><00:23:54.019><c> kill</c><00:23:54.339><c> your</c><00:23:54.759><c> firstborn.</c>

00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:56.839
Pretty<00:23:56.099><c> plain</c><00:23:56.400><c> statement.</c>

00:23:57.319 --> 00:23:58.920
And<00:23:57.480><c> that's</c><00:23:57.759><c> exactly</c><00:23:58.119><c> what's</c><00:23:58.420><c> going</c><00:23:58.539><c> to</c><00:23:58.700><c> happen.</c>

00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:02.539
And<00:23:59.579><c> we</c><00:23:59.839><c> move</c><00:24:00.140><c> on</c><00:24:00.700><c> yet</c><00:24:01.019><c> a</c><00:24:01.140><c> little</c><00:24:01.339><c> bit</c><00:24:01.559><c> further.</c>

00:24:02.700 --> 00:24:07.799
And<00:24:02.980><c> we</c><00:24:03.279><c> find</c><00:24:04.000><c> that</c><00:24:05.880><c> Pharaoh</c><00:24:06.200><c> is</c><00:24:06.559><c> not</c><00:24:06.759><c> willing</c><00:24:06.900><c> to</c><00:24:07.039><c> let</c><00:24:07.200><c> this</c><00:24:07.440><c> happen.</c>

00:24:08.140 --> 00:24:09.160
Now,<00:24:08.319><c> did</c><00:24:08.440><c> you</c><00:24:08.579><c> notice</c><00:24:08.859><c> this?</c>

00:24:09.380 --> 00:24:11.279
This<00:24:09.579><c> is</c><00:24:09.740><c> something</c><00:24:09.940><c> that's</c><00:24:10.180><c> rather</c><00:24:10.279><c> interesting.</c>

00:24:11.500 --> 00:24:14.920
All<00:24:11.799><c> of</c><00:24:11.940><c> this</c><00:24:12.160><c> happened</c><00:24:12.880><c> before</c><00:24:13.619><c> the</c><00:24:13.839><c> eighth</c><00:24:14.019><c> plague.</c>

00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:17.859
It<00:24:15.819><c> happened</c><00:24:16.079><c> when</c><00:24:16.299><c> Moses</c><00:24:16.640><c> went</c><00:24:16.839><c> into</c><00:24:17.039><c> Pharaoh</c><00:24:17.339><c> and</c><00:24:17.559><c> said,</c>

00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:19.920
the<00:24:18.480><c> locusts</c><00:24:18.940><c> are</c><00:24:19.099><c> coming.</c>

00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:22.859
And<00:24:20.779><c> Pharaoh</c><00:24:21.000><c> said,</c><00:24:21.420><c> look,</c><00:24:21.599><c> wait</c><00:24:21.759><c> a</c><00:24:21.839><c> minute,</c><00:24:21.940><c> you</c><00:24:22.079><c> can</c><00:24:22.319><c> go.</c>

00:24:22.859 --> 00:24:26.140
But<00:24:23.640><c> then</c><00:24:23.960><c> the</c><00:24:24.160><c> locusts</c><00:24:24.759><c> do</c><00:24:25.039><c> come.</c>

00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:28.900
And<00:24:27.140><c> Pharaoh</c><00:24:27.420><c> is</c><00:24:27.859><c> once</c><00:24:28.079><c> again</c><00:24:28.519><c> struck.</c>

00:24:29.180 --> 00:24:33.200
He<00:24:29.359><c> was</c><00:24:29.720><c> willing</c><00:24:30.019><c> to</c><00:24:30.220><c> let</c><00:24:30.420><c> them</c><00:24:30.619><c> go</c><00:24:30.880><c> even</c><00:24:31.279><c> before</c><00:24:31.680><c> the</c><00:24:31.859><c> plague</c><00:24:32.019><c> happened.</c>

00:24:33.420 --> 00:24:36.839
But<00:24:33.759><c> the</c><00:24:34.779><c> conditions</c><00:24:35.140><c> were</c><00:24:35.339><c> not</c><00:24:35.519><c> what</c><00:24:35.660><c> God</c><00:24:35.900><c> demanded.</c>

00:24:37.539 --> 00:24:40.900
And<00:24:37.660><c> so</c><00:24:37.819><c> here</c><00:24:38.019><c> we</c><00:24:38.200><c> find</c><00:24:38.500><c> that</c><00:24:38.859><c> finally</c><00:24:39.160><c> the</c><00:24:39.859><c> locusts</c><00:24:40.259><c> are</c><00:24:40.400><c> brought.</c>

00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:43.839
We're<00:24:41.420><c> told</c><00:24:41.500><c> they're</c><00:24:41.640><c> brought</c><00:24:41.779><c> by</c><00:24:41.980><c> a</c><00:24:42.140><c> strong</c><00:24:42.519><c> east</c><00:24:43.019><c> wind.</c>

00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:47.740
And<00:24:44.500><c> then</c><00:24:44.680><c> when</c><00:24:44.839><c> Moses</c><00:24:45.180><c> doesn't</c><00:24:45.700><c> treat</c><00:24:46.059><c> to</c><00:24:46.240><c> have</c><00:24:46.359><c> them</c><00:24:46.519><c> taken</c><00:24:46.779><c> away,</c>

00:24:47.859 --> 00:24:50.740
we<00:24:47.960><c> find</c><00:24:48.200><c> they're</c><00:24:48.380><c> taken</c><00:24:48.640><c> away</c><00:24:48.880><c> by</c><00:24:49.579><c> a</c><00:24:49.839><c> west</c><00:24:50.059><c> wind</c><00:24:50.259><c> and</c><00:24:50.500><c> cast</c>

00:24:50.740 --> 00:24:51.859
into<00:24:51.039><c> the</c><00:24:51.319><c> Red</c><00:24:51.619><c> Sea.</c>

00:24:51.859 --> 00:24:54.480
In<00:24:52.380><c> other</c><00:24:52.619><c> words,</c><00:24:53.059><c> God</c><00:24:53.299><c> sends</c><00:24:53.599><c> them</c><00:24:53.700><c> from</c><00:24:53.900><c> the</c><00:24:54.099><c> east</c>

00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:57.700
and<00:24:55.220><c> then</c><00:24:55.359><c> he</c><00:24:55.740><c> sends</c><00:24:56.099><c> them</c><00:24:56.279><c> back</c><00:24:56.440><c> where</c><00:24:56.559><c> they</c><00:24:56.700><c> came</c><00:24:56.960><c> from.</c>

00:24:58.019 --> 00:24:59.799
Only<00:24:58.160><c> instead</c><00:24:58.480><c> of</c><00:24:58.619><c> letting</c><00:24:58.720><c> them</c><00:24:58.839><c> go</c><00:24:59.059><c> all</c><00:24:59.299><c> the</c><00:24:59.359><c> way</c><00:24:59.519><c> back</c><00:24:59.700><c> to</c>

00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:00.380
where<00:24:59.880><c> they</c><00:25:00.019><c> came</c><00:25:00.240><c> from,</c>

00:25:00.380 --> 00:25:02.839
they<00:25:00.519><c> dump</c><00:25:00.700><c> them</c><00:25:00.799><c> into</c><00:25:00.940><c> the</c><00:25:01.160><c> sea</c><00:25:01.440><c> and</c><00:25:02.119><c> they're</c><00:25:02.339><c> destroyed.</c>

00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:05.420
It<00:25:03.200><c> isn't</c><00:25:03.440><c> the</c><00:25:03.579><c> case</c><00:25:03.759><c> that,</c><00:25:04.059><c> well,</c><00:25:04.400><c> they're</c><00:25:04.660><c> still</c><00:25:04.880><c> left</c><00:25:05.119><c> there,</c>

00:25:05.460 --> 00:25:08.420
either<00:25:05.740><c> to</c><00:25:05.900><c> come</c><00:25:06.039><c> again</c><00:25:06.480><c> or</c><00:25:06.859><c> to</c><00:25:07.019><c> bother</c><00:25:07.200><c> someone</c><00:25:07.500><c> else.</c>

00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:09.900
God<00:25:08.779><c> completely</c><00:25:09.299><c> destroys</c><00:25:09.680><c> them.</c>

00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:13.799
When<00:25:10.259><c> God</c><00:25:10.500><c> does</c><00:25:10.740><c> something,</c><00:25:11.640><c> he</c><00:25:11.819><c> does</c><00:25:12.059><c> a</c><00:25:12.279><c> complete</c><00:25:12.700><c> job.</c>

00:25:13.819 --> 00:25:16.980
And<00:25:14.019><c> once</c><00:25:14.259><c> again,</c><00:25:14.619><c> we</c><00:25:14.720><c> hear</c><00:25:14.880><c> the</c><00:25:15.059><c> reaction</c><00:25:15.420><c> of</c><00:25:16.160><c> Pharaoh</c><00:25:16.160><c> twice</c>

00:25:16.980 --> 00:25:19.460
with<00:25:17.920><c> the</c><00:25:18.160><c> same</c><00:25:18.599><c> plague.</c>

00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:21.460
He<00:25:19.740><c> said,</c><00:25:20.000><c> I</c><00:25:20.279><c> have</c><00:25:20.720><c> sinned.</c>

00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:24.680
Another<00:25:22.119><c> confession</c><00:25:22.839><c> on</c><00:25:23.039><c> the</c><00:25:23.180><c> part</c><00:25:23.380><c> of</c><00:25:23.700><c> Pharaoh.</c>

00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:32.319
And<00:25:25.400><c> then</c><00:25:25.579><c> he</c><00:25:25.700><c> says,</c><00:25:26.839><c> forgive</c><00:25:27.180><c> only</c><00:25:28.019><c> this</c><00:25:28.640><c> once</c><00:25:29.099><c> and</c><00:25:31.299><c> entreat.</c>

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:33.980
Oh,<00:25:32.759><c> that</c><00:25:32.900><c> went</c><00:25:33.059><c> together.</c>

00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:38.240
It<00:25:34.480><c> wasn't</c><00:25:34.779><c> just</c><00:25:35.160><c> a</c><00:25:35.220><c> case</c><00:25:35.440><c> of</c><00:25:35.680><c> saying,</c><00:25:36.319><c> forgive</c><00:25:36.799><c> my</c><00:25:37.220><c> sins.</c>

00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:40.759
He's<00:25:38.819><c> saying,</c><00:25:39.160><c> forgive</c><00:25:39.460><c> them,</c><00:25:39.599><c> but</c><00:25:39.720><c> ask</c><00:25:39.980><c> God</c><00:25:40.180><c> to</c><00:25:40.420><c> take</c><00:25:40.500><c> this</c>

00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:41.599
away<00:25:40.960><c> from</c><00:25:41.160><c> me.</c>

00:25:41.859 --> 00:25:43.440
And<00:25:42.200><c> it</c><00:25:42.359><c> isn't</c><00:25:42.559><c> very</c><00:25:42.960><c> long.</c>

00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:47.960
Once<00:25:44.299><c> we</c><00:25:44.880><c> find</c><00:25:45.220><c> that</c><00:25:45.500><c> these</c><00:25:45.759><c> things</c><00:25:46.339><c> have</c><00:25:46.579><c> been</c><00:25:46.799><c> taken</c><00:25:47.039><c> away,</c>

00:25:48.019 --> 00:25:50.880
we<00:25:48.359><c> learn</c><00:25:48.700><c> something</c><00:25:49.099><c> very</c><00:25:49.759><c> interesting.</c>

00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:55.059
The<00:25:51.960><c> Lord</c><00:25:52.559><c> hardens</c><00:25:53.599><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:25:54.180><c> heart.</c>

00:25:55.180 --> 00:25:57.119
And<00:25:55.319><c> therefore,</c><00:25:55.680><c> I</c><00:25:55.700><c> think</c><00:25:55.900><c> it</c><00:25:56.000><c> is</c><00:25:56.180><c> very</c><00:25:56.519><c> good</c><00:25:56.700><c> that</c><00:25:56.839><c> we</c><00:25:56.940><c> had</c>

00:25:57.119 --> 00:25:58.339
the<00:25:57.259><c> opportunity</c>

00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:01.759
to<00:25:58.720><c> go</c><00:25:58.960><c> over</c><00:25:59.259><c> the</c><00:25:59.480><c> reason</c><00:25:59.819><c> that</c><00:26:00.079><c> God</c><00:26:00.339><c> can</c><00:26:00.640><c> harden</c><00:26:00.920><c> someone's</c><00:26:01.440><c> heart</c>

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:04.759
and<00:26:02.180><c> still</c><00:26:02.460><c> be</c><00:26:02.819><c> a</c><00:26:03.000><c> just</c><00:26:03.259><c> and</c><00:26:03.599><c> proper</c><00:26:03.819><c> and</c><00:26:04.019><c> righteous</c><00:26:04.339><c> God.</c>

00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:07.220
He<00:26:05.380><c> hardened</c><00:26:05.720><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:26:06.259><c> heart.</c>

00:26:07.460 --> 00:26:10.559
And<00:26:07.640><c> in</c><00:26:08.200><c> verse</c><00:26:08.559><c> one,</c><00:26:09.140><c> in</c><00:26:09.380><c> that</c><00:26:09.640><c> same</c><00:26:09.839><c> chapter,</c><00:26:10.140><c> which</c><00:26:10.319><c> is</c><00:26:10.460><c> a</c>

00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:11.099
little<00:26:10.680><c> earlier,</c>

00:26:11.500 --> 00:26:14.779
we<00:26:11.680><c> learned</c><00:26:12.059><c> that</c><00:26:12.599><c> the</c><00:26:12.779><c> Lord</c><00:26:13.019><c> said</c><00:26:13.259><c> that</c><00:26:13.440><c> he</c><00:26:13.599><c> hardened</c><00:26:13.920><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:26:14.460><c> heart,</c>

00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.220
that<00:26:15.180><c> I</c><00:26:15.319><c> might</c><00:26:15.700><c> show</c><00:26:16.000><c> these</c><00:26:16.420><c> my</c><00:26:16.839><c> signs</c><00:26:17.299><c> before</c><00:26:17.859><c> him.</c>

00:26:18.660 --> 00:26:19.539
That's<00:26:19.119><c> the</c><00:26:19.259><c> reason.</c>

00:26:19.539 --> 00:26:21.799
Pharaoh<00:26:20.200><c> had</c><00:26:20.480><c> shown</c><00:26:20.680><c> what</c><00:26:20.880><c> kind</c><00:26:21.099><c> of</c><00:26:21.240><c> a</c><00:26:21.319><c> man</c><00:26:21.460><c> he</c><00:26:21.539><c> was.</c>

00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:24.720
And<00:26:22.119><c> now</c><00:26:22.319><c> God</c><00:26:22.500><c> was</c><00:26:22.660><c> going</c><00:26:22.819><c> to</c><00:26:22.940><c> make</c><00:26:23.059><c> use</c><00:26:23.259><c> of</c><00:26:23.380><c> him</c><00:26:23.660><c> in</c><00:26:23.900><c> spite</c><00:26:24.079><c> of</c><00:26:24.259><c> himself</c>

00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:29.900
to<00:26:25.339><c> demonstrate</c><00:26:26.059><c> to</c><00:26:26.859><c> the</c><00:26:27.039><c> whole</c><00:26:27.359><c> world</c><00:26:28.079><c> all</c><00:26:28.960><c> of</c><00:26:29.119><c> his</c><00:26:29.319><c> wonders</c>

00:26:29.900 --> 00:26:32.500
and<00:26:30.640><c> to</c><00:26:30.839><c> us</c><00:26:31.160><c> as</c><00:26:31.460><c> well.</c>

00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:36.180

00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:44.460
Here<00:26:40.299><c> we</c><00:26:40.500><c> find</c><00:26:40.839><c> that</c><00:26:41.220><c> Betty</c><00:26:41.599><c> said,</c><00:26:42.380><c> how</c><00:26:42.500><c> are</c><00:26:42.700><c> we</c><00:26:42.819><c> going</c><00:26:42.980><c> to</c><00:26:43.119><c> make</c><00:26:43.259><c> a</c><00:26:43.579><c> chart</c>

00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:56.720
So<00:26:55.420><c> at</c><00:26:55.420><c> first</c><00:26:55.660><c> she</c><00:26:55.839><c> figured,</c><00:26:56.160><c> well,</c><00:26:56.160><c> it's</c><00:26:56.200><c> just</c><00:26:56.400><c> going</c><00:26:56.500><c> to</c><00:26:56.579><c> be</c>

00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:05.440
And<00:27:02.119><c> we</c><00:27:02.319><c> noticed</c><00:27:02.559><c> that</c><00:27:02.779><c> from</c><00:27:02.960><c> the</c><00:27:03.200><c> chart,</c><00:27:03.960><c> how</c><00:27:04.079><c> that</c><00:27:04.200><c> you</c><00:27:04.339><c> can</c><00:27:04.559><c> see</c>

00:27:14.059 --> 00:27:17.640

00:27:20.220 --> 00:27:22.960
And<00:27:20.299><c> so</c><00:27:20.539><c> darkness</c><00:27:20.960><c> comes</c><00:27:21.460><c> upon</c><00:27:21.880><c> the</c><00:27:22.119><c> land.</c>

00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:25.799
And<00:27:23.359><c> we</c><00:27:23.420><c> might</c><00:27:23.599><c> say,</c><00:27:23.859><c> well,</c><00:27:24.059><c> what</c><00:27:24.279><c> kind</c><00:27:24.700><c> of</c><00:27:25.160><c> significance</c><00:27:25.519><c> is</c>

this<00:27:26.079><c> darkness?</c>

00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:29.940
How<00:27:27.480><c> is</c><00:27:27.640><c> it</c><00:27:27.799><c> a</c><00:27:27.940><c> challenge</c><00:27:28.200><c> to</c><00:27:28.400><c> the</c><00:27:28.559><c> Egyptian</c><00:27:28.880><c> gods?</c>

00:27:30.059 --> 00:27:32.940
Why,<00:27:30.200><c> it's</c><00:27:30.400><c> one</c><00:27:30.559><c> of</c><00:27:30.660><c> the</c><00:27:30.900><c> greatest</c><00:27:31.220><c> challenges</c><00:27:31.700><c> of</c><00:27:32.019><c> all.</c>

00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.599
One<00:27:33.559><c> of</c><00:27:33.700><c> the</c><00:27:33.980><c> greatest</c><00:27:34.440><c> gods</c><00:27:34.799><c> that</c><00:27:35.059><c> the</c><00:27:35.299><c> Egyptians</c><00:27:35.660><c> had</c><00:27:36.460><c> was</c>

00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:44.980

And<00:28:58.200><c> God</c><00:28:58.420><c> couldn't</c><00:28:58.680><c> permit</c><00:28:58.980><c> this</c><00:28:59.200><c> to</c><00:28:59.359><c> go</c><00:28:59.559><c> on.</c>

00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:03.180
He<00:29:00.720><c> had</c><00:29:00.980><c> to</c><00:29:01.160><c> show</c><00:29:01.319><c> that</c><00:29:01.599><c> Pharaoh</c><00:29:01.839><c> was</c><00:29:02.200><c> not</c><00:29:02.480><c> the</c><00:29:02.579><c> son</c><00:29:02.759><c> of</c><00:29:02.960><c> God.</c>

00:29:03.460 --> 00:29:07.500
So<00:29:03.680><c> this</c><00:29:03.960><c> particular</c><00:29:04.500><c> plague</c><00:29:04.680><c> of</c><00:29:04.859><c> darkness</c><00:29:05.460><c> is</c><00:29:06.740><c> a</c><00:29:07.019><c> challenge</c>

00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:09.319
to<00:29:08.220><c> Ra,</c><00:29:08.480><c> the</c><00:29:08.599><c> sun</c><00:29:08.920><c> god,</c>

00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:12.480
and<00:29:09.980><c> a</c><00:29:10.180><c> challenge</c><00:29:10.519><c> to</c><00:29:10.799><c> Pharaoh</c><00:29:11.079><c> himself</c><00:29:11.599><c> that</c><00:29:12.000><c> claimed</c><00:29:12.140><c> to</c><00:29:12.339><c> be</c>

00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:13.339
the<00:29:12.599><c> son</c><00:29:12.779><c> of</c><00:29:13.000><c> God.</c>

00:29:13.339 --> 00:29:17.279
It<00:29:14.039><c> is</c><00:29:14.380><c> a</c><00:29:14.539><c> tremendous</c><00:29:15.259><c> challenge,</c><00:29:15.960><c> one</c><00:29:16.119><c> of</c><00:29:16.259><c> the</c><00:29:16.400><c> greatest</c><00:29:16.680><c> of</c><00:29:16.920><c> all.</c>

00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:19.140
And<00:29:17.680><c> it's</c><00:29:17.859><c> quite</c><00:29:18.099><c> appropriate.</c>

00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:22.700
But<00:29:20.259><c> we</c><00:29:20.480><c> find</c><00:29:20.740><c> there's</c><00:29:20.980><c> something</c><00:29:21.259><c> very</c><00:29:21.880><c> interesting</c><00:29:22.440><c> that</c>

00:29:22.700 --> 00:29:24.000
takes<00:29:22.920><c> place.</c>

00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:29.259
In<00:29:24.700><c> the</c><00:29:24.920><c> land</c><00:29:26.059><c> of</c><00:29:26.799><c> Gosha,</c><00:29:28.019><c> where</c><00:29:28.220><c> the</c><00:29:28.420><c> children</c><00:29:28.720><c> of</c><00:29:28.900><c> Israel</c>

00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:34.559
Darkness<00:29:33.279><c> wasn't</c><00:29:33.660><c> there.</c>

00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:36.220
Where<00:29:34.920><c> was</c><00:29:35.099><c> the</c><00:29:35.319><c> darkness?</c>

00:29:36.619 --> 00:29:38.079
It<00:29:36.740><c> was</c><00:29:36.960><c> in</c><00:29:37.119><c> Egypt.</c>

00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:41.099
Egypt<00:29:39.019><c> represents</c><00:29:39.619><c> the</c><00:29:39.920><c> world.</c>

00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:43.259
And<00:29:41.539><c> isn't</c><00:29:41.759><c> that</c><00:29:42.039><c> appropriate?</c>

00:29:44.059 --> 00:29:48.160
Darkness<00:29:44.500><c> covers</c><00:29:44.920><c> the</c><00:29:45.160><c> world</c><00:29:45.380><c> and</c><00:29:45.640><c> grows</c><00:29:45.859><c> darkness</c><00:29:46.299><c> to</c><00:29:46.539><c> people</c><00:29:46.839><c> even</c><00:29:47.099><c> today.</c>

00:29:48.380 --> 00:29:51.339
And<00:29:48.519><c> how</c><00:29:48.759><c> appropriate</c><00:29:49.319><c> it</c><00:29:49.519><c> is</c><00:29:49.980><c> that</c><00:29:50.339><c> the</c><00:29:50.579><c> darkness</c><00:29:50.920><c> should</c><00:29:51.200><c> be</c>

00:29:53.180 --> 00:29:58.599
And<00:29:53.299><c> isn't</c><00:29:53.460><c> it</c><00:29:53.720><c> interesting</c><00:29:54.099><c> that</c><00:29:54.359><c> darkness</c><00:29:55.539><c> represents</c><00:29:56.779><c> sin?</c>

00:29:59.140 --> 00:30:02.500
And<00:29:59.319><c> there</c><00:29:59.420><c> was</c><00:29:59.579><c> sin</c><00:29:59.819><c> there</c><00:30:00.039><c> in</c><00:30:01.299><c> the</c><00:30:01.359><c> land</c><00:30:01.559><c> of</c><00:30:01.759><c> Egypt.</c>

00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:04.660
Oh,<00:30:03.039><c> there's</c><00:30:03.240><c> no</c><00:30:03.400><c> doubt</c><00:30:03.599><c> about</c><00:30:03.759><c> what</c><00:30:03.880><c> there</c><00:30:04.039><c> was</c><00:30:04.200><c> sin</c><00:30:04.400><c> in</c><00:30:04.539><c> the</c>

00:30:05.220 --> 00:30:05.940
We<00:30:05.400><c> know</c><00:30:05.619><c> that.</c>

00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:07.960
And<00:30:06.240><c> we</c><00:30:06.460><c> follow</c><00:30:06.640><c> the</c><00:30:06.839><c> children</c><00:30:07.059><c> of</c><00:30:07.200><c> Israel</c><00:30:07.519><c> through</c><00:30:07.740><c> their</c>

wilderness<00:30:08.299><c> wanderings.</c>

00:30:08.980 --> 00:30:11.640
And<00:30:09.220><c> we</c><00:30:09.440><c> find</c><00:30:09.619><c> how</c><00:30:09.920><c> often</c><00:30:10.200><c> sin</c><00:30:10.500><c> rears</c><00:30:10.819><c> its</c><00:30:10.980><c> ugly</c><00:30:11.240><c> head.</c>

00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:14.880
But<00:30:12.299><c> nevertheless,</c><00:30:13.460><c> there</c><00:30:13.519><c> was</c><00:30:13.859><c> sin</c><00:30:14.079><c> in</c><00:30:14.220><c> the</c><00:30:14.359><c> world.</c>

00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.839
And<00:30:15.539><c> we</c><00:30:15.740><c> have</c><00:30:15.920><c> to</c><00:30:16.099><c> face</c><00:30:16.640><c> the</c><00:30:17.019><c> sin</c><00:30:17.200><c> that's</c><00:30:17.460><c> in</c><00:30:17.539><c> the</c><00:30:17.660><c> world</c><00:30:17.859><c> today.</c>

00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:20.619
There's<00:30:19.220><c> darkness</c><00:30:19.559><c> all</c><00:30:19.859><c> about</c><00:30:20.119><c> us.</c>

00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:25.299
But<00:30:21.240><c> interestingly</c><00:30:21.740><c> enough,</c><00:30:23.099><c> we</c><00:30:23.220><c> find</c><00:30:23.480><c> there</c><00:30:23.640><c> was</c><00:30:23.839><c> light</c><00:30:24.160><c> in</c><00:30:24.400><c> Gosha.</c>

00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:28.900

00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:40.819
We're<00:30:38.579><c> supposed</c><00:30:38.819><c> to</c><00:30:39.119><c> reflect</c><00:30:39.519><c> that</c><00:30:39.880><c> light.</c>

But<00:31:24.839><c> did</c><00:31:24.980><c> you</c><00:31:25.079><c> notice</c><00:31:25.359><c> what</c><00:31:25.599><c> happened?</c>

00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:31.299
Israel<00:31:28.039><c> did</c><00:31:28.599><c> everything</c><00:31:28.960><c> they</c><00:31:29.319><c> could</c><00:31:29.440><c> to</c><00:31:29.759><c> extinguish</c><00:31:30.220><c> that</c><00:31:30.480><c> light.</c>

00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:34.460
They<00:31:31.720><c> tried</c><00:31:32.039><c> to</c><00:31:32.279><c> put</c><00:31:32.359><c> it</c><00:31:32.559><c> out,</c><00:31:32.880><c> but</c><00:31:33.079><c> they</c><00:31:33.299><c> could</c><00:31:33.539><c> not.</c>

00:31:34.980 --> 00:31:38.259
God<00:31:35.539><c> raised</c><00:31:36.099><c> Christ</c><00:31:36.720><c> from</c><00:31:37.200><c> the</c><00:31:37.460><c> dead.</c>

00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:40.900
And<00:31:38.839><c> that's</c><00:31:39.220><c> exactly</c><00:31:39.640><c> what</c><00:31:39.779><c> we</c><00:31:39.960><c> were</c><00:31:40.099><c> talking</c><00:31:40.339><c> about</c><00:31:40.480><c> just</c><00:31:40.740><c> a</c>

00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:46.880
He<00:31:43.200><c> couldn't</c><00:31:43.420><c> have</c><00:31:43.640><c> raised</c><00:31:43.859><c> him</c><00:31:44.660><c> if</c><00:31:45.200><c> Christ</c><00:31:45.519><c> hadn't</c><00:31:45.779><c> died.</c>

00:31:47.180 --> 00:31:47.960
But<00:31:47.440><c> he</c><00:31:47.599><c> did.</c>

00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:51.599
And<00:31:48.599><c> then</c><00:31:48.900><c> because</c><00:31:49.339><c> he</c><00:31:49.819><c> had</c><00:31:50.119><c> been</c><00:31:50.480><c> a</c><00:31:50.619><c> man</c><00:31:50.740><c> that</c><00:31:50.859><c> was</c><00:31:51.039><c> without</c><00:31:51.339><c> sin,</c>

00:31:51.819 --> 00:31:53.700

And<00:31:54.079><c> God</c><00:31:54.400><c> raised</c><00:31:54.740><c> him</c><00:31:54.920><c> from</c><00:31:55.099><c> the</c><00:31:55.259><c> dead.</c>

00:32:01.579 --> 00:32:04.839
But<00:32:01.819><c> it</c><00:32:01.960><c> was</c><00:32:02.180><c> not</c><00:32:02.880><c> because</c><00:32:03.539><c> God</c><00:32:03.920><c> saw</c><00:32:04.200><c> to</c><00:32:04.440><c> it</c>

00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:18.019
He<00:32:14.160><c> was</c><00:32:14.440><c> raised</c><00:32:14.720><c> from</c><00:32:14.960><c> the</c><00:32:15.119><c> dead</c><00:32:15.619><c> and</c><00:32:16.619><c> sits</c><00:32:16.880><c> now</c><00:32:17.279><c> on</c><00:32:17.640><c> the</c><00:32:17.779><c> right</c>

00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:22.119
It's<00:32:20.180><c> a</c><00:32:20.299><c> wonderful</c><00:32:21.059><c> picture.</c>

00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:26.240

But<00:33:44.660><c> another</c><00:33:44.900><c> thing</c><00:33:45.119><c> we</c><00:33:45.259><c> might</c><00:33:45.440><c> think</c><00:33:45.700><c> of,</c>

00:33:46.579 --> 00:33:52.579
did<00:33:46.720><c> you</c><00:33:46.880><c> notice</c><00:33:47.680><c> it</c><00:33:48.599><c> was</c><00:33:49.279><c> three</c><00:33:49.859><c> days</c><00:33:50.440><c> that</c><00:33:51.960><c> that</c><00:33:52.200><c> darkness</c>

00:33:52.579 --> 00:33:53.900
covered<00:33:52.900><c> Egypt?</c>

00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:59.400
For<00:33:54.539><c> three</c><00:33:55.200><c> days</c><00:33:55.880><c> people</c><00:33:56.339><c> couldn't</c><00:33:56.740><c> even</c><00:33:57.319><c> rise</c><00:33:57.740><c> from</c><00:33:58.039><c> their</c><00:33:58.380><c> bed.</c>

00:33:59.980 --> 00:34:05.819
And<00:34:00.579><c> also,</c><00:34:01.460><c> it</c><00:34:01.460><c> was</c><00:34:02.400><c> three</c><00:34:02.920><c> hours</c><00:34:03.619><c> of</c><00:34:04.660><c> darkness</c><00:34:05.099><c> that</c><00:34:05.259><c> was</c><00:34:05.400><c> upon</c><00:34:05.660><c> the</c>

00:34:05.819 --> 00:34:09.599
face<00:34:06.000><c> of</c><00:34:06.180><c> the</c><00:34:06.339><c> earth</c><00:34:06.700><c> when</c><00:34:07.940><c> Christ</c><00:34:08.480><c> was</c><00:34:08.800><c> crucified.</c>

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:13.380
And<00:34:10.780><c> it</c><00:34:10.920><c> was</c><00:34:11.079><c> for</c><00:34:11.300><c> three</c><00:34:11.579><c> days</c><00:34:12.099><c> that</c><00:34:12.260><c> he</c><00:34:12.440><c> rested</c><00:34:12.739><c> in</c><00:34:12.940><c> the</c><00:34:13.139><c> grave</c>

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:17.579
and<00:34:13.780><c> was</c><00:34:14.059><c> not</c><00:34:14.300><c> able</c><00:34:14.500><c> to</c><00:34:14.719><c> rise</c><00:34:15.139><c> from</c><00:34:15.460><c> that</c><00:34:15.780><c> bed</c><00:34:16.079><c> of</c><00:34:16.599><c> death.</c>

00:34:17.619 --> 00:34:22.380
Until<00:34:18.159><c> God</c><00:34:19.139><c> reached</c><00:34:20.119><c> forth</c><00:34:20.420><c> and</c><00:34:20.639><c> resurrected</c><00:34:21.059><c> him</c><00:34:21.260><c> from</c><00:34:21.440><c> the</c><00:34:21.579><c> dead.</c>

00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:25.219
His<00:34:22.980><c> faith</c><00:34:23.320><c> was</c><00:34:23.599><c> there</c><00:34:23.820><c> even</c><00:34:24.079><c> before</c><00:34:24.519><c> his</c><00:34:24.780><c> death.</c>

00:34:25.219 --> 00:34:30.139
And<00:34:25.840><c> now</c><00:34:26.099><c> we</c><00:34:26.320><c> find</c><00:34:26.619><c> his</c><00:34:26.880><c> faith</c><00:34:27.099><c> is</c><00:34:27.400><c> realized</c><00:34:28.099><c> by</c><00:34:28.719><c> his</c><00:34:28.940><c> resurrection</c><00:34:29.440><c> from</c><00:34:29.719><c> the</c><00:34:29.880><c> dead.</c>

00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:35.800
And<00:34:30.800><c> consequently,</c><00:34:31.780><c> three</c><00:34:32.039><c> days</c><00:34:32.880><c> lead</c><00:34:33.199><c> to</c><00:34:33.440><c> our</c><00:34:33.679><c> notice</c><00:34:34.179><c> once</c><00:34:34.800><c> again.</c>

00:34:37.460 --> 00:34:40.539
And<00:34:37.780><c> we</c><00:34:37.940><c> also</c><00:34:38.340><c> notice</c><00:34:38.840><c> another</c><00:34:39.480><c> rather</c><00:34:39.739><c> interesting</c><00:34:40.119><c> passage</c>

00:34:40.539 --> 00:34:42.559
in<00:34:40.679><c> Matthew</c><00:34:41.019><c> chapter</c><00:34:41.400><c> 22.</c>

00:34:42.900 --> 00:34:46.079
And<00:34:43.039><c> there</c><00:34:43.119><c> in</c><00:34:43.260><c> the</c><00:34:43.400><c> 13th</c><00:34:43.960><c> verse,</c><00:34:44.719><c> we</c><00:34:44.880><c> read</c><00:34:45.219><c> how</c><00:34:45.539><c> that</c><00:34:45.780><c> those</c>

00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:47.780
that<00:34:46.280><c> are</c><00:34:46.480><c> rejected</c><00:34:46.900><c> in</c><00:34:47.099><c> the</c><00:34:47.260><c> judgment</c>

00:34:47.780 --> 00:34:52.639
shall<00:34:48.500><c> be</c><00:34:48.820><c> cast</c><00:34:49.159><c> into</c><00:34:50.500><c> outer</c><00:34:51.420><c> darkness.</c>

00:34:53.139 --> 00:34:57.699
And<00:34:53.619><c> so</c><00:34:53.960><c> isn't</c><00:34:54.320><c> it</c><00:34:54.719><c> appropriate</c><00:34:55.219><c> that</c><00:34:56.619><c> God</c><00:34:57.119><c> should</c><00:34:57.340><c> bring</c><00:34:57.539><c> a</c>

00:34:57.699 --> 00:34:58.579
plague<00:34:57.840><c> of</c><00:34:58.039><c> darkness</c>

00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:03.139
just<00:34:59.559><c> before</c><00:35:00.039><c> he</c><00:35:00.260><c> brings</c><00:35:00.860><c> the</c><00:35:01.539><c> death</c><00:35:01.699><c> of</c><00:35:01.860><c> the</c><00:35:02.019><c> firstborn?</c>

00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:07.199
There's<00:35:03.639><c> only</c><00:35:03.940><c> one</c><00:35:04.239><c> thing</c><00:35:04.440><c> left</c><00:35:05.119><c> when</c><00:35:05.900><c> a</c><00:35:06.079><c> person</c><00:35:06.320><c> is</c><00:35:06.820><c> totally</c>

00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:10.260
engulfed<00:35:07.679><c> in</c><00:35:07.800><c> darkness,</c><00:35:08.679><c> and</c><00:35:09.079><c> that</c><00:35:09.219><c> is</c><00:35:09.440><c> death.</c>

00:35:10.340 --> 00:35:13.840
If<00:35:10.579><c> we</c><00:35:10.780><c> do</c><00:35:11.019><c> not</c><00:35:11.239><c> have</c><00:35:11.400><c> the</c><00:35:11.639><c> light</c><00:35:11.800><c> of</c><00:35:11.980><c> the</c><00:35:12.119><c> gospel</c><00:35:12.440><c> of</c><00:35:12.619><c> Christ,</c>

00:35:14.860 --> 00:35:16.500
we're<00:35:14.980><c> in</c><00:35:15.440><c> darkness.</c>

00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:20.059
And<00:35:16.920><c> we</c><00:35:17.019><c> can</c><00:35:17.179><c> only</c><00:35:17.340><c> look</c><00:35:17.579><c> forward</c><00:35:17.820><c> to</c><00:35:18.039><c> eternal</c><00:35:18.360><c> death,</c><00:35:20.000><c> where</c>

00:35:20.059 --> 00:35:22.119
we<00:35:20.219><c> will</c><00:35:20.420><c> never</c><00:35:20.619><c> be</c><00:35:20.820><c> able</c><00:35:20.980><c> to</c><00:35:21.159><c> rise</c><00:35:21.360><c> from</c><00:35:21.579><c> our</c><00:35:21.840><c> place.</c>

00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:25.159
And<00:35:23.000><c> so</c><00:35:23.239><c> it</c><00:35:23.340><c> is</c><00:35:23.559><c> quite</c><00:35:24.019><c> appropriate.</c>

00:35:25.980 --> 00:35:30.940
Darkness<00:35:26.420><c> represents</c><00:35:26.860><c> God</c><00:35:28.039><c> withdrawn,</c><00:35:29.920><c> and</c><00:35:30.059><c> only</c><00:35:30.360><c> death</c><00:35:30.539><c> remains.</c>

00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:32.539
And<00:35:31.139><c> that's</c><00:35:31.380><c> the</c><00:35:31.519><c> 10th</c><00:35:31.840><c> plague.</c>

00:35:32.699 --> 00:35:35.659
We've<00:35:33.019><c> now</c><00:35:33.179><c> moved</c><00:35:33.400><c> to</c><00:35:33.539><c> the</c><00:35:33.679><c> 10th</c><00:35:34.019><c> plague,</c><00:35:34.940><c> and</c><00:35:35.179><c> we</c><00:35:35.320><c> don't</c><00:35:35.519><c> have</c>

00:35:35.659 --> 00:35:37.039
nearly<00:35:35.920><c> the</c><00:35:36.139><c> time</c><00:35:36.300><c> to</c><00:35:36.480><c> do</c><00:35:36.599><c> it</c><00:35:36.760><c> justice.</c>

00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:39.320
And<00:35:37.440><c> consequently,</c><00:35:37.800><c> part</c><00:35:38.019><c> of</c><00:35:38.099><c> it</c><00:35:38.239><c> may</c><00:35:38.400><c> very</c><00:35:38.659><c> well</c><00:35:38.840><c> have</c><00:35:39.000><c> to</c><00:35:39.139><c> be</c>

00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:40.559
discussed<00:35:39.579><c> tomorrow.</c>

00:35:40.980 --> 00:35:43.559
But<00:35:41.199><c> we</c><00:35:41.320><c> do</c><00:35:41.480><c> find</c><00:35:41.699><c> a</c><00:35:41.820><c> reaction</c><00:35:42.179><c> of</c><00:35:42.480><c> Pharaoh</c><00:35:42.679><c> at</c><00:35:43.179><c> the</c><00:35:43.300><c> end</c><00:35:43.440><c> of</c>

00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:44.880
this<00:35:43.719><c> 9th</c><00:35:44.139><c> plague.</c>

00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:45.760
And<00:35:45.199><c> there</c><00:35:45.360><c> he</c><00:35:45.440><c> says,</c>

00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:54.159
Go<00:35:46.239><c> ye,</c><00:35:46.820><c> serve</c><00:35:47.139><c> the</c><00:35:47.320><c> Lord,</c><00:35:47.639><c> or</c><00:35:47.820><c> serve</c><00:35:48.019><c> Yahweh,</c><00:35:53.440><c> only</c><00:35:53.699><c> let</c><00:35:53.940><c> not</c>

00:35:56.699 --> 00:35:58.639
He<00:35:56.860><c> says,</c><00:35:57.159><c> let</c><00:35:57.340><c> your</c><00:35:57.460><c> little</c><00:35:57.699><c> ones</c><00:35:57.900><c> go</c><00:35:58.139><c> with</c><00:35:58.360><c> you.</c>

00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:00.840
Remember<00:35:59.219><c> when</c><00:35:59.320><c> he</c><00:35:59.440><c> said</c><00:35:59.619><c> before,</c><00:35:59.960><c> who's</c><00:36:00.219><c> going</c><00:36:00.340><c> to</c><00:36:00.480><c> go?</c>

00:36:01.219 --> 00:36:03.730
And<00:36:01.360><c> Moses</c><00:36:01.619><c> said,</c><00:36:01.960><c> our</c><00:36:02.019><c> young</c><00:36:02.420><c> and</c><00:36:02.760><c> our</c><00:36:03.000><c> old.</c>

00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:07.360
It<00:36:04.300><c> says,</c><00:36:04.679><c> our</c><00:36:04.800><c> sons</c><00:36:04.980><c> and</c><00:36:05.159><c> our</c><00:36:05.360><c> daughters,</c><00:36:06.500><c> our</c><00:36:06.860><c> flocks</c><00:36:07.179><c> and</c>

00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:08.059
our<00:36:07.519><c> herds.</c>

00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:09.280
Well,<00:36:08.659><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:36:08.980><c> given</c><00:36:09.079><c> again.</c>

00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:11.739
He's<00:36:09.639><c> a</c><00:36:09.739><c> terrific</c><00:36:10.159><c> negotiator,</c><00:36:10.739><c> isn't</c><00:36:10.980><c> he?</c>

00:36:11.900 --> 00:36:14.260
And<00:36:12.139><c> he</c><00:36:12.320><c> said,</c><00:36:12.539><c> okay,</c><00:36:12.860><c> now</c><00:36:12.980><c> we'll</c><00:36:13.380><c> just</c><00:36:13.679><c> leave</c><00:36:13.820><c> the</c><00:36:14.000><c> flocks</c>

00:36:14.260 --> 00:36:15.400
and<00:36:14.460><c> herds.</c>

00:36:15.539 --> 00:36:17.960

00:36:18.739 --> 00:36:22.699
And<00:36:18.900><c> Moses</c><00:36:19.380><c> makes</c><00:36:20.579><c> a</c><00:36:20.840><c> rather</c><00:36:21.039><c> remarkable</c><00:36:21.739><c> statement.</c>

00:36:22.739 --> 00:36:24.039
Oh,<00:36:22.960><c> is</c><00:36:23.099><c> he</c><00:36:23.320><c> blunt.</c>

00:36:24.179 --> 00:36:26.519
He<00:36:24.300><c> said,</c><00:36:24.760><c> our</c><00:36:24.780><c> cattle</c><00:36:25.139><c> also</c><00:36:25.639><c> shall</c><00:36:25.900><c> go</c><00:36:26.119><c> with</c><00:36:26.300><c> us.</c>

00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:31.840
There<00:36:26.940><c> shall</c><00:36:27.219><c> not</c><00:36:27.519><c> a</c><00:36:27.820><c> hoof</c><00:36:28.000><c> remain,</c><00:36:29.460><c> not</c><00:36:29.900><c> even</c><00:36:30.460><c> one</c><00:36:30.880><c> hoof.</c>

00:36:31.980 --> 00:36:35.699
And<00:36:32.260><c> that's</c><00:36:32.579><c> being</c><00:36:32.760><c> about</c><00:36:32.980><c> as</c><00:36:33.239><c> plain</c><00:36:33.360><c> as</c><00:36:33.539><c> he</c><00:36:34.000><c> possibly</c><00:36:34.280><c> can</c><00:36:34.639><c> to</c><00:36:34.960><c> Pharaoh.</c>

00:36:36.380 --> 00:36:40.679
And<00:36:36.699><c> then</c><00:36:36.880><c> we</c><00:36:37.019><c> notice</c><00:36:37.320><c> once</c><00:36:37.519><c> again</c><00:36:38.119><c> that</c><00:36:39.320><c> the</c><00:36:39.639><c> Lord</c><00:36:40.119><c> hardens</c>

00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:41.559
Pharaoh's<00:36:41.219><c> heart.</c>

00:36:42.059 --> 00:36:43.119
And<00:36:42.340><c> Pharaoh</c><00:36:42.519><c> makes</c><00:36:42.760><c> a</c><00:36:42.960><c> statement.</c>

00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:45.260
It<00:36:43.239><c> isn't</c><00:36:43.400><c> really</c><00:36:44.079><c> completely</c><00:36:44.400><c> true.</c>

00:36:45.300 --> 00:36:46.579
It<00:36:45.300><c> changes</c><00:36:45.739><c> before</c><00:36:46.079><c> it's</c><00:36:46.340><c> done.</c>

00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:49.579
But<00:36:47.159><c> Pharaoh</c><00:36:47.300><c> says,</c><00:36:47.659><c> you're</c><00:36:47.760><c> not</c><00:36:47.860><c> going</c><00:36:48.059><c> to</c><00:36:48.159><c> see</c><00:36:48.320><c> my</c><00:36:48.639><c> face.</c>

00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:52.519
Well,<00:36:50.920><c> he</c><00:36:51.099><c> did</c><00:36:51.360><c> call</c><00:36:51.500><c> for</c><00:36:51.699><c> Moses.</c>

00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:53.780
He<00:36:52.800><c> called</c><00:36:53.039><c> for</c><00:36:53.219><c> Moses</c><00:36:53.519><c> again.</c>

00:36:53.820 --> 00:36:55.500
He<00:36:53.900><c> told</c><00:36:54.039><c> Moses</c><00:36:54.239><c> he's</c><00:36:54.420><c> going</c><00:36:54.559><c> to</c><00:36:54.679><c> die</c><00:36:54.820><c> if</c><00:36:54.980><c> he</c><00:36:55.059><c> ever</c><00:36:55.219><c> saw</c><00:36:55.340><c> his</c>

00:36:56.300 --> 00:36:58.820
But<00:36:56.440><c> he</c><00:36:56.500><c> did</c><00:36:56.719><c> call</c><00:36:56.920><c> for</c><00:36:57.119><c> Moses</c><00:36:57.340><c> at</c><00:36:57.559><c> the</c><00:36:57.639><c> end</c><00:36:57.739><c> of</c><00:36:57.860><c> the</c><00:36:57.920><c> 10th</c><00:36:58.280><c> play</c>

00:36:58.820 --> 00:37:00.980

00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:02.579
Remember<00:37:01.480><c> what</c><00:37:01.880><c> the</c><00:37:02.019><c> Lord</c><00:37:02.179><c> had</c><00:37:02.440><c> said?</c>

00:37:02.860 --> 00:37:04.440
You're<00:37:03.099><c> going</c><00:37:03.199><c> to</c><00:37:03.320><c> be</c><00:37:03.519><c> driven</c><00:37:03.800><c> out</c><00:37:04.059><c> of</c><00:37:04.239><c> Egypt.</c>

00:37:04.659 --> 00:37:06.960
It<00:37:04.800><c> isn't</c><00:37:04.980><c> just</c><00:37:05.260><c> a</c><00:37:05.340><c> case</c><00:37:05.579><c> of</c><00:37:05.840><c> you'll</c><00:37:06.139><c> be</c><00:37:06.239><c> able</c><00:37:06.360><c> to</c><00:37:06.559><c> escape</c><00:37:06.840><c> and</c>

00:37:08.219 --> 00:37:10.599

00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:13.059
Pharaoh<00:37:11.139><c> will</c><00:37:11.360><c> let</c><00:37:11.539><c> you</c><00:37:11.699><c> go</c><00:37:11.820><c> and</c><00:37:11.920><c> he's</c><00:37:12.119><c> going</c><00:37:12.219><c> to</c><00:37:12.380><c> drive</c><00:37:12.559><c> you</c><00:37:12.780><c> out.</c>

00:37:13.059 --> 00:37:15.539
And<00:37:13.300><c> that's</c><00:37:13.639><c> exactly</c><00:37:14.039><c> what</c><00:37:14.340><c> happened</c><00:37:14.639><c> at</c><00:37:15.000><c> the</c><00:37:15.099><c> end</c><00:37:15.280><c> of</c><00:37:15.400><c> this</c>

they<00:41:12.400><c> did.</c>

00:41:13.059 --> 00:41:16.179
They<00:41:13.320><c> borrowed</c><00:41:13.639><c> silver</c><00:41:14.199><c> and</c><00:41:14.420><c> gold</c><00:41:14.679><c> and</c><00:41:14.860><c> all</c><00:41:15.059><c> kinds</c><00:41:15.320><c> of</c><00:41:15.500><c> wealthy</c><00:41:15.719><c> things</c>

00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:25.199
Later<00:41:22.400><c> on,</c><00:41:23.619><c> when</c><00:41:23.780><c> we</c><00:41:23.960><c> get</c><00:41:24.079><c> to</c><00:41:24.260><c> the</c><00:41:24.360><c> law</c><00:41:24.500><c> of</c><00:41:24.699><c> Moses,</c>

00:41:33.219 --> 00:41:35.360
when<00:41:33.500><c> slaves</c><00:41:33.840><c> were</c><00:41:34.059><c> sent</c><00:41:34.360><c> out,</c>

00:41:38.179 --> 00:41:42.280
They<00:41:38.420><c> had</c><00:41:38.699><c> to</c><00:41:39.579><c> give</c><00:41:39.900><c> them</c><00:41:40.159><c> some</c><00:41:40.760><c> money</c><00:41:41.300><c> to</c><00:41:41.500><c> hold</c><00:41:41.639><c> them</c><00:41:41.880><c> over</c>

until<00:41:42.960><c> they</c><00:41:43.099><c> could</c><00:41:43.300><c> get</c><00:41:43.480><c> established</c><00:41:43.920><c> themselves.</c>

00:41:45.139 --> 00:41:49.480
In<00:41:45.380><c> fact,</c><00:41:46.139><c> under</c><00:41:46.380><c> the</c><00:41:46.519><c> law</c><00:41:46.659><c> of</c><00:41:46.840><c> Moses,</c><00:41:47.980><c> divorce</c><00:41:48.260><c> was</c><00:41:48.539><c> permitted,</c>

00:41:49.619 --> 00:41:56.400
but<00:41:49.900><c> a</c><00:41:50.260><c> man</c><00:41:50.500><c> could</c><00:41:50.880><c> not</c><00:41:51.179><c> send</c><00:41:51.519><c> out</c><00:41:52.460><c> his</c><00:41:52.860><c> wife</c><00:41:53.219><c> that</c><00:41:53.380><c> he</c><00:41:53.539><c> had</c><00:41:53.780><c> divorced</c><00:41:54.340><c> without</c><00:41:55.139><c> sending</c><00:41:55.679><c> on</c>

00:41:58.179 --> 00:42:00.800
So<00:41:58.400><c> that</c><00:41:58.559><c> she</c><00:41:58.739><c> would</c><00:41:58.920><c> be</c><00:41:59.079><c> able</c><00:41:59.239><c> to</c><00:41:59.360><c> get</c><00:41:59.500><c> established</c><00:42:00.139><c> before</c>

00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:04.340
what<00:42:02.639><c> the</c><00:42:02.820><c> Lord</c><00:42:02.980><c> had</c><00:42:03.199><c> said</c><00:42:03.280><c> in</c><00:42:03.440><c> the</c><00:42:03.619><c> scriptures</c><00:42:03.840><c> that</c><00:42:04.019><c> she</c><00:42:04.219><c> may</c>

00:42:04.340 --> 00:42:06.380

00:42:06.619 --> 00:42:07.380
That<00:42:06.699><c> is</c><00:42:06.840><c> in</c><00:42:07.000><c> the</c><00:42:07.159><c> scriptures.</c>

00:42:07.539 --> 00:42:09.119
I<00:42:07.539><c> know</c><00:42:07.699><c> we're</c><00:42:08.019><c> startled</c><00:42:08.179><c> because</c><00:42:08.539><c> of</c><00:42:08.699><c> it.</c>

00:42:09.460 --> 00:42:14.960
However,<00:42:10.280><c> we</c><00:42:10.380><c> do</c><00:42:10.679><c> find</c><00:42:10.920><c> that</c><00:42:11.260><c> an</c><00:42:11.539><c> allowance</c><00:42:11.900><c> was</c><00:42:12.260><c> made</c><00:42:12.940><c> so</c><00:42:13.519><c> that</c><00:42:13.820><c> someone</c><00:42:14.360><c> who</c>

00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:17.039
had<00:42:15.199><c> been</c><00:42:15.820><c> a</c><00:42:16.199><c> slave</c>

00:42:17.260 --> 00:42:19.159
would<00:42:17.539><c> be</c><00:42:17.840><c> taken</c><00:42:18.139><c> care</c><00:42:18.480><c> of</c><00:42:18.639><c> after</c><00:42:18.860><c> they</c><00:42:19.019><c> left.</c>

00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:20.380
And<00:42:19.320><c> the</c><00:42:19.460><c> Hebrews</c><00:42:19.619><c> were</c><00:42:19.880><c> slaves.</c>

00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:22.980
They've<00:42:21.039><c> been</c><00:42:21.159><c> slaves</c><00:42:21.460><c> in</c><00:42:21.639><c> Egypt</c><00:42:21.840><c> for</c><00:42:22.119><c> 400</c><00:42:22.440><c> years.</c>

00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:25.039
And<00:42:23.360><c> now</c><00:42:23.599><c> they're</c><00:42:23.820><c> to</c><00:42:23.960><c> be</c><00:42:24.139><c> delivered</c><00:42:24.420><c> from</c><00:42:24.679><c> Egypt.</c>

00:42:25.260 --> 00:42:27.619
And<00:42:25.480><c> so</c><00:42:25.599><c> they're</c><00:42:26.019><c> spoiling</c><00:42:26.380><c> the</c><00:42:26.679><c> Egyptians.</c>

00:42:28.980 --> 00:42:33.320
And<00:42:29.119><c> then</c><00:42:29.260><c> we</c><00:42:29.480><c> find</c><00:42:29.880><c> another</c><00:42:30.440><c> interesting</c><00:42:31.159><c> statement</c><00:42:31.719><c> as</c><00:42:33.059><c> we</c>

things<00:42:45.760><c> that</c><00:42:45.900><c> took</c><00:42:46.099><c> place</c><00:42:46.340><c> in</c><00:42:46.480><c> Egypt</c>

00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:49.840
were<00:42:47.360><c> visited</c><00:42:47.719><c> upon</c><00:42:48.079><c> the</c><00:42:48.300><c> Egyptian</c><00:42:48.760><c> gods.</c>

00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:52.840
It's<00:42:50.199><c> in</c><00:42:50.440><c> the</c><00:42:50.599><c> 12th</c><00:42:51.780><c> chapter,</c><00:42:51.840><c> verse</c><00:42:52.119><c> 12.</c>

00:42:53.260 --> 00:42:58.619
And<00:42:53.260><c> it</c><00:42:53.440><c> says,</c><00:42:54.280><c> against</c><00:42:54.280><c> all</c><00:42:54.840><c> the</c><00:42:55.000><c> gods</c><00:42:55.239><c> of</c><00:42:55.440><c> Egypt</c><00:42:55.940><c> will</c><00:42:56.599><c> I</c><00:42:56.880><c> execute</c><00:42:57.360><c> my</c><00:42:57.699><c> judgments.</c>

00:42:58.820 --> 00:43:01.340
Well,<00:42:59.119><c> now</c><00:42:59.360><c> that</c><00:42:59.519><c> is</c><00:42:59.679><c> a</c><00:42:59.780><c> pretty</c><00:43:00.099><c> plain</c><00:43:00.400><c> statement.</c>

00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:03.300
Against<00:43:01.739><c> all</c><00:43:02.260><c> the</c><00:43:02.440><c> gods</c><00:43:02.679><c> of</c><00:43:02.900><c> Egypt.</c>

00:43:03.739 --> 00:43:05.000
But<00:43:03.940><c> some</c><00:43:04.159><c> say,</c><00:43:04.300><c> now,</c><00:43:04.480><c> wait</c><00:43:04.599><c> a</c><00:43:04.719><c> minute.</c>

00:43:05.420 --> 00:43:09.300
That<00:43:05.719><c> word</c><00:43:05.960><c> that's</c><00:43:06.360><c> translated</c><00:43:06.739><c> gods,</c><00:43:08.400><c> oh,</c><00:43:08.619><c> that</c><00:43:08.820><c> could</c><00:43:09.039><c> be</c>

00:43:09.300 --> 00:43:10.719
translated<00:43:09.800><c> rulers.</c>

00:43:11.099 --> 00:43:14.119
And<00:43:11.579><c> Jesus</c><00:43:11.980><c> said,</c><00:43:12.320><c> you</c><00:43:12.320><c> have</c><00:43:12.619><c> lords</c><00:43:12.900><c> many</c><00:43:13.179><c> and</c><00:43:13.360><c> gods</c><00:43:13.639><c> many.</c>

00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:15.639
Why<00:43:14.639><c> do</c><00:43:14.860><c> you</c><00:43:14.940><c> condemn</c><00:43:15.219><c> me?</c>

00:43:15.780 --> 00:43:18.079
Because<00:43:16.039><c> I</c><00:43:16.320><c> say</c><00:43:16.440><c> that</c><00:43:16.619><c> I'm</c><00:43:16.780><c> the</c><00:43:16.940><c> son</c><00:43:17.079><c> of</c><00:43:17.340><c> God.</c>

00:43:20.039 --> 00:43:22.480
Was<00:43:20.239><c> it</c><00:43:20.440><c> just</c><00:43:20.719><c> against</c><00:43:21.039><c> the</c><00:43:21.239><c> rulers</c><00:43:21.420><c> of</c><00:43:21.659><c> Egypt?</c>

00:43:22.860 --> 00:43:26.340
And<00:43:23.000><c> we'll</c><00:43:23.179><c> have</c><00:43:23.300><c> to</c><00:43:23.400><c> leave</c><00:43:23.579><c> this</c><00:43:23.820><c> with</c><00:43:24.039><c> this</c><00:43:24.440><c> and</c><00:43:24.920><c> then</c><00:43:25.059><c> go</c><00:43:25.260><c> on</c><00:43:25.440><c> tomorrow.</c>

00:43:26.780 --> 00:43:30.000
I<00:43:26.980><c> say</c><00:43:27.099><c> it</c><00:43:27.199><c> was</c><00:43:27.440><c> against</c><00:43:27.719><c> the</c><00:43:28.000><c> deities</c><00:43:28.500><c> and</c><00:43:29.300><c> not</c><00:43:29.519><c> against</c><00:43:29.780><c> the</c>

00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:31.300
rulers<00:43:30.199><c> of</c><00:43:30.420><c> Egypt.</c>

00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:35.260
Because<00:43:32.000><c> we</c><00:43:32.280><c> find</c><00:43:32.539><c> that</c><00:43:32.840><c> that</c><00:43:33.039><c> is</c><00:43:33.280><c> the</c><00:43:33.500><c> context</c><00:43:34.099><c> of</c><00:43:34.800><c> all</c><00:43:35.059><c> the</c>

00:43:35.260 --> 00:43:36.539
plagues<00:43:35.420><c> that</c><00:43:35.599><c> we've</c><00:43:35.800><c> already</c><00:43:36.059><c> considered.</c>

00:43:36.539 --> 00:43:39.739
Each<00:43:37.260><c> one</c><00:43:37.559><c> of</c><00:43:37.639><c> them</c><00:43:37.940><c> seems</c><00:43:38.340><c> to</c><00:43:38.519><c> be</c><00:43:38.679><c> against</c><00:43:38.980><c> one</c><00:43:39.280><c> or</c><00:43:39.400><c> a</c><00:43:39.539><c> number</c>

00:43:39.739 --> 00:43:41.239
of<00:43:39.840><c> the</c><00:43:39.980><c> gods</c><00:43:40.179><c> of</c><00:43:40.380><c> Egypt.</c>

00:43:41.679 --> 00:43:44.900
But<00:43:41.840><c> when</c><00:43:42.059><c> we</c><00:43:42.280><c> stop</c><00:43:42.559><c> to</c><00:43:42.820><c> think</c><00:43:43.400><c> that</c><00:43:44.099><c> when</c><00:43:44.280><c> it</c><00:43:44.360><c> comes</c><00:43:44.599><c> to</c><00:43:44.800><c> the</c>

00:43:44.900 --> 00:43:46.440
death<00:43:45.059><c> of</c><00:43:45.219><c> the</c><00:43:45.360><c> firstborn,</c>

00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:51.780
it<00:43:46.960><c> wasn't</c><00:43:47.320><c> just</c><00:43:47.820><c> the</c><00:43:47.980><c> death</c><00:43:48.260><c> of</c><00:43:48.420><c> the</c><00:43:48.619><c> firstborn</c><00:43:49.360><c> of</c><00:43:50.139><c> the</c><00:43:50.280><c> leaders</c><00:43:50.619><c> of</c><00:43:50.900><c> Egypt.</c>

00:43:52.300 --> 00:43:55.719
It<00:43:52.460><c> was</c><00:43:52.739><c> from</c><00:43:53.000><c> the</c><00:43:53.159><c> house</c><00:43:53.460><c> of</c><00:43:53.820><c> Pharaoh</c><00:43:53.980><c> right</c><00:43:54.880><c> down</c><00:43:55.300><c> to</c><00:43:55.480><c> the</c>

00:43:55.719 --> 00:43:57.260
handmaid<00:43:56.260><c> that</c><00:43:56.519><c> served</c><00:43:56.760><c> Pharaoh.</c>

00:43:57.659 --> 00:43:59.440
And<00:43:57.920><c> it</c><00:43:58.039><c> didn't</c><00:43:58.219><c> even</c><00:43:58.539><c> stop</c><00:43:58.860><c> there.</c>

00:43:59.840 --> 00:44:02.039
And<00:44:00.059><c> we</c><00:44:00.179><c> can't</c><00:44:00.519><c> stretch</c><00:44:00.780><c> this</c><00:44:01.099><c> into</c><00:44:01.340><c> saying</c><00:44:01.539><c> it's</c><00:44:01.800><c> the</c><00:44:01.900><c> rulers</c>

00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:02.579
of<00:44:02.219><c> Egypt.</c>

00:44:02.579 --> 00:44:07.659
It<00:44:03.340><c> said</c><00:44:03.599><c> it</c><00:44:03.719><c> was</c><00:44:04.099><c> also</c><00:44:04.500><c> the</c><00:44:04.739><c> firstborn</c><00:44:05.420><c> of</c><00:44:06.019><c> the</c><00:44:06.239><c> beasts</c><00:44:06.539><c> as</c><00:44:06.860><c> well.</c>

00:44:08.699 --> 00:44:10.860
And<00:44:08.860><c> therefore,</c><00:44:09.179><c> when</c><00:44:09.360><c> we</c><00:44:09.559><c> read</c><00:44:09.739><c> this</c><00:44:10.000><c> statement,</c>

00:44:11.460 --> 00:44:15.300
that<00:44:11.619><c> he</c><00:44:11.719><c> will</c><00:44:11.900><c> show</c><00:44:12.099><c> all</c><00:44:12.360><c> his</c><00:44:12.559><c> wonders</c><00:44:12.960><c> upon</c><00:44:13.699><c> the</c><00:44:13.920><c> gods</c><00:44:14.159><c> of</c><00:44:14.420><c> Egypt,</c>

00:44:15.739 --> 00:44:17.599
it<00:44:15.900><c> means</c><00:44:16.219><c> exactly</c><00:44:16.800><c> that.</c>

00:44:17.980 --> 00:44:20.820
That<00:44:18.340><c> God</c><00:44:18.739><c> is</c><00:44:19.159><c> showing</c><00:44:19.440><c> that</c><00:44:19.679><c> he</c><00:44:19.880><c> is</c><00:44:20.099><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:24.780
And<00:44:21.440><c> that</c><00:44:21.579><c> the</c><00:44:21.739><c> gods</c><00:44:21.920><c> of</c><00:44:22.159><c> Egypt</c><00:44:22.679><c> are</c><00:44:23.300><c> not</c><00:44:23.559><c> living</c><00:44:23.860><c> gods</c><00:44:24.199><c> at</c><00:44:24.460><c> all.</c>

00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:27.219
They<00:44:25.300><c> are</c><00:44:25.559><c> absolutely</c><00:44:26.260><c> nothing.</c>

00:44:27.460 --> 00:44:30.199
And<00:44:27.780><c> so</c><00:44:28.019><c> tomorrow</c><00:44:28.320><c> we</c><00:44:28.500><c> will</c><00:44:28.739><c> conclude</c><00:44:29.079><c> this</c><00:44:29.440><c> plague</c>
