So<00:08:13.019><c> this</c><00:08:13.180><c> is</c><00:08:13.420><c> the</c><00:08:13.560><c> burden</c><00:08:13.740><c> of</c><00:08:13.939><c> those</c><00:08:14.100><c> first</c><00:08:14.399><c> three</c><00:08:14.660><c> verses.</c>

00:08:15.339 --> 00:08:16.500
God<00:08:15.660><c> is</c><00:08:15.959><c> still</c><00:08:16.199><c> speaking.</c>

00:08:16.500 --> 00:08:18.079
It's<00:08:16.819><c> a</c><00:08:16.920><c> continuous</c><00:08:17.420><c> revelation.</c>

00:08:18.459 --> 00:08:21.699
But<00:08:18.660><c> added</c><00:08:19.060><c> to</c><00:08:19.300><c> that,</c><00:08:19.779><c> and</c><00:08:19.899><c> this</c><00:08:20.040><c> is</c><00:08:20.180><c> the</c><00:08:20.360><c> second</c><00:08:20.579><c> point,</c><00:08:21.560><c> was</c>

00:08:21.699 --> 00:08:23.259
that<00:08:22.079><c> though</c><00:08:22.279><c> the</c><00:08:22.459><c> divine</c><00:08:22.740><c> revelation</c>

00:08:23.259 --> 00:08:27.899
is<00:08:23.519><c> continuous,</c><00:08:25.019><c> it</c><00:08:25.180><c> had</c><00:08:25.519><c> never</c><00:08:25.839><c> been</c><00:08:26.399><c> seen</c><00:08:26.720><c> in</c><00:08:27.000><c> this</c><00:08:27.220><c> light</c><00:08:27.360><c> before.</c>

00:08:28.100 --> 00:08:31.060
That<00:08:28.259><c> not</c><00:08:28.420><c> only</c><00:08:28.579><c> was</c><00:08:28.759><c> God</c><00:08:28.980><c> speaking</c><00:08:29.500><c> still,</c><00:08:30.439><c> but</c><00:08:30.620><c> he'd</c><00:08:30.819><c> never</c>

00:08:33.500 --> 00:08:36.100
So<00:08:33.679><c> the</c><00:08:33.840><c> apostle</c><00:08:34.179><c> says,</c><00:08:34.840><c> it's</c><00:08:34.940><c> not</c><00:08:35.059><c> a</c><00:08:35.220><c> question</c><00:08:35.440><c> of</c><00:08:35.600><c> me</c><00:08:35.820><c> just</c>

00:08:36.100 --> 00:08:37.559
telling<00:08:36.259><c> you</c><00:08:36.539><c> that</c><00:08:36.720><c> God</c><00:08:36.899><c> is</c><00:08:37.059><c> still</c><00:08:37.299><c> speaking</c>

to<00:08:37.799><c> you.</c>

00:08:38.259 --> 00:08:40.960
It's<00:08:38.740><c> a</c><00:08:38.820><c> question</c><00:08:39.039><c> of</c><00:08:39.240><c> me</c><00:08:39.399><c> telling</c><00:08:39.580><c> you</c><00:08:39.840><c> that</c><00:08:40.039><c> you've</c><00:08:40.460><c> never</c>

00:08:43.779 --> 00:08:47.039
So<00:08:44.259><c> instead</c><00:08:44.659><c> of</c><00:08:44.779><c> being</c><00:08:44.940><c> a</c><00:08:45.159><c> cause</c><00:08:45.340><c> of</c><00:08:45.620><c> despondency,</c><00:08:46.679><c> instead</c>

00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:48.480
of<00:08:47.220><c> mending</c><00:08:47.460><c> the</c><00:08:47.720><c> doubts</c><00:08:47.919><c> in</c><00:08:48.120><c> their</c><00:08:48.299><c> minds</c>

00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.879

00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:53.019

00:08:53.019 --> 00:08:55.299

00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.299
That<00:08:55.639><c> the</c><00:08:55.820><c> revelation</c><00:08:56.240><c> was</c><00:08:56.820><c> majestic.</c>

00:08:57.460 --> 00:08:59.899
God<00:08:57.700><c> was</c><00:08:57.980><c> speaking</c><00:08:58.120><c> in</c><00:08:58.480><c> a</c><00:08:58.639><c> greater</c><00:08:58.879><c> sense.</c>

00:09:00.820 --> 00:09:04.440
And<00:09:01.019><c> in</c><00:09:01.200><c> order</c><00:09:01.299><c> to</c><00:09:01.580><c> demonstrate</c><00:09:02.080><c> that,</c><00:09:03.500><c> the</c><00:09:03.659><c> apostle,</c><00:09:04.000><c> by</c><00:09:04.240><c> a</c>

00:09:11.460 --> 00:09:12.360
God.

00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.159
It's<00:09:13.519><c> a</c><00:09:13.679><c> climax</c><00:09:14.120><c> of</c><00:09:14.340><c> a</c><00:09:14.519><c> continuous</c><00:09:15.059><c> revelation.</c>

00:09:16.779 --> 00:09:18.279
God,<00:09:17.240><c> that's</c><00:09:17.539><c> the</c><00:09:17.679><c> opening</c><00:09:17.879><c> word.</c>

00:09:18.419 --> 00:09:20.379
That<00:09:18.700><c> commands</c><00:09:19.259><c> everyone's</c><00:09:20.019><c> respect.</c>

00:09:20.820 --> 00:09:23.360
There's<00:09:20.940><c> none</c><00:09:21.100><c> of</c><00:09:21.220><c> these</c><00:09:21.440><c> sagitations</c><00:09:21.960><c> you</c><00:09:22.179><c> read</c><00:09:22.299><c> in</c><00:09:22.460><c> other</c><00:09:22.960><c> epistles.</c>

00:09:23.539 --> 00:09:26.320
Not<00:09:23.799><c> that</c><00:09:24.000><c> sagitations</c><00:09:24.559><c> are</c><00:09:24.779><c> wrong</c><00:09:25.100><c> or</c><00:09:25.440><c> nice.</c>

00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:29.919
But<00:09:26.960><c> it</c><00:09:27.019><c> would</c><00:09:27.200><c> make</c><00:09:27.340><c> no</c><00:09:27.679><c> impact</c><00:09:28.139><c> upon</c><00:09:28.379><c> the</c><00:09:28.620><c> Jewish</c><00:09:29.000><c> mind.</c>

00:09:30.299 --> 00:09:32.559
It<00:09:30.440><c> would</c><00:09:30.620><c> have</c><00:09:30.720><c> no</c><00:09:30.940><c> impact</c><00:09:31.259><c> upon</c><00:09:31.519><c> him</c><00:09:31.720><c> as</c><00:09:31.919><c> it</c><00:09:32.000><c> would</c><00:09:32.100><c> the</c><00:09:32.320><c> others.</c>

00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:33.659
They<00:09:32.860><c> were</c><00:09:32.980><c> not</c><00:09:33.080><c> like</c><00:09:33.419><c> that.</c>

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:36.120
They<00:09:34.039><c> were</c><00:09:34.220><c> interested</c><00:09:34.500><c> in</c><00:09:34.580><c> what</c><00:09:34.820><c> God</c><00:09:35.080><c> had</c><00:09:35.279><c> to</c><00:09:35.460><c> say,</c><00:09:35.779><c> not</c><00:09:35.960><c> what</c>

So<00:09:37.179><c> it</c><00:09:37.200><c> wasn't</c><00:09:37.460><c> a</c><00:09:37.500><c> matter</c><00:09:37.700><c> of</c><00:09:37.860><c> Paul</c><00:09:38.159><c> and</c><00:09:38.279><c> the</c><00:09:38.340><c> apostle</c><00:09:38.679><c> of</c><00:09:38.840><c> Jesus</c><00:09:39.159><c> Christ</c><00:09:39.360><c> and</c>

so<00:09:39.600><c> on.</c>

00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:41.000
It<00:09:39.740><c> was</c><00:09:39.919><c> God.</c>

00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:42.759

And<00:09:43.279><c> then</c><00:09:43.440><c> he</c><00:09:43.799><c> said</c><00:09:44.000><c> that</c><00:09:44.240><c> God</c><00:09:44.740><c> spake</c><00:09:46.080><c> in</c><00:09:46.700><c> times</c><00:09:47.000><c> past</c><00:09:47.759><c> under</c>

Now,<00:21:47.759><c> that's</c><00:21:48.099><c> a</c><00:21:48.220><c> wonderful</c><00:21:48.680><c> expression.</c>

00:21:49.700 --> 00:21:51.960
Now,<00:21:49.960><c> you</c><00:21:50.279><c> just</c><00:21:50.480><c> imagine</c><00:21:50.960><c> what</c><00:21:51.079><c> he's</c><00:21:51.240><c> trying</c><00:21:51.420><c> to</c><00:21:51.579><c> tell</c><00:21:51.680><c> them.</c>

00:21:52.339 --> 00:21:53.299
Here<00:21:52.599><c> is</c><00:21:52.839><c> the</c><00:21:53.039><c> prophet.</c>

00:21:53.700 --> 00:21:56.859
The<00:21:53.920><c> spirit</c><00:21:54.200><c> of</c><00:21:54.319><c> God</c><00:21:54.519><c> comes</c><00:21:54.859><c> and</c><00:21:55.319><c> seizes</c><00:21:55.720><c> that</c><00:21:56.039><c> prophet.</c>

00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:00.380
Now,<00:21:57.440><c> as</c><00:21:57.559><c> I</c><00:21:57.759><c> say,</c><00:21:58.079><c> it</c><00:21:58.259><c> may</c><00:21:58.559><c> be</c><00:21:58.920><c> a</c><00:21:59.180><c> direct</c><00:21:59.380><c> revelation</c><00:21:59.859><c> from</c><00:22:00.079><c> God</c>

00:22:00.380 --> 00:22:02.640
in<00:22:01.000><c> the</c><00:22:01.240><c> sense,</c><00:22:01.440><c> for</c><00:22:01.700><c> example,</c><00:22:02.059><c> of</c><00:22:02.200><c> Jeremiah,</c>

00:22:02.980 --> 00:22:06.039
whom<00:22:03.119><c> God</c><00:22:03.380><c> said</c><00:22:03.640><c> to</c><00:22:03.779><c> on</c><00:22:03.940><c> several</c><00:22:04.200><c> occasions,</c><00:22:04.779><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:22:05.839><c> go</c>

00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:07.220
and<00:22:06.319><c> tell</c><00:22:06.460><c> the</c><00:22:06.700><c> people</c><00:22:06.920><c> this.</c>

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:09.220
Now,<00:22:07.599><c> there's</c><00:22:07.759><c> no</c><00:22:08.059><c> question</c><00:22:08.380><c> of</c><00:22:08.640><c> inspiration.</c>

00:22:09.220 --> 00:22:12.160
So<00:22:09.900><c> Jeremiah</c><00:22:10.259><c> comes</c><00:22:10.539><c> to</c><00:22:10.700><c> the</c><00:22:10.839><c> temple</c><00:22:11.000><c> and</c><00:22:11.119><c> he</c><00:22:11.240><c> says,</c><00:22:12.160><c> Thus</c>

00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:13.220
saith<00:22:12.599><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:22:13.500 --> 00:22:15.880
Now,<00:22:13.799><c> Yahweh</c><00:22:14.059><c> was</c><00:22:14.259><c> in</c><00:22:14.420><c> that</c><00:22:14.660><c> man</c><00:22:14.839><c> because</c><00:22:15.019><c> he</c><00:22:15.259><c> told</c><00:22:15.599><c> him</c><00:22:15.720><c> what</c>

00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.119
to<00:22:16.099><c> say</c><00:22:16.200><c> and</c><00:22:16.299><c> he</c><00:22:16.460><c> put</c><00:22:16.660><c> that</c><00:22:16.980><c> word</c><00:22:17.140><c> in</c><00:22:17.299><c> him.</c>

00:22:18.700 --> 00:22:21.740
But<00:22:18.859><c> there</c><00:22:19.039><c> were</c><00:22:19.240><c> occasions,</c><00:22:19.599><c> of</c><00:22:19.900><c> course,</c><00:22:20.660><c> when</c><00:22:20.839><c> David</c><00:22:21.220><c> would</c>

00:22:21.740 --> 00:22:22.940
settle<00:22:21.960><c> down</c><00:22:22.200><c> with</c><00:22:22.400><c> his</c><00:22:22.640><c> sheep</c>

00:22:22.940 --> 00:22:25.980
and<00:22:23.500><c> when</c><00:22:23.619><c> he'd</c><00:22:23.839><c> got</c><00:22:23.960><c> them</c><00:22:24.240><c> contentedly</c><00:22:24.720><c> grazing</c><00:22:25.099><c> in</c><00:22:25.339><c> the</c><00:22:25.539><c> pasture</c>

00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:30.259
and<00:22:26.799><c> alongside</c><00:22:27.319><c> that</c><00:22:28.000><c> brook</c><00:22:29.220><c> bubbling</c><00:22:29.559><c> away</c><00:22:29.859><c> in</c><00:22:30.019><c> front</c><00:22:30.140><c> of</c>

00:22:30.259 --> 00:22:31.500
him<00:22:30.359><c> and</c><00:22:30.460><c> that</c><00:22:30.640><c> peaceful</c><00:22:31.039><c> surrounding,</c>

00:22:31.660 --> 00:22:36.460
he<00:22:31.759><c> would</c><00:22:31.920><c> sit</c><00:22:32.160><c> down</c><00:22:32.380><c> and</c><00:22:32.460><c> he</c><00:22:32.500><c> would</c><00:22:32.720><c> say,</c><00:22:34.079><c> Yahweh</c><00:22:34.779><c> is</c><00:22:35.339><c> my</c><00:22:35.559><c> shepherd.</c>

00:22:36.779 --> 00:22:38.660
I<00:22:37.259><c> shall</c><00:22:37.480><c> not</c><00:22:37.779><c> want.</c>

00:22:39.779 --> 00:22:43.599
But<00:22:40.119><c> David</c><00:22:40.720><c> may</c><00:22:41.099><c> or</c><00:22:41.339><c> may</c><00:22:41.579><c> not</c><00:22:41.720><c> have</c><00:22:41.880><c> been</c><00:22:42.039><c> aware</c><00:22:42.400><c> on</c><00:22:42.960><c> that</c><00:22:43.099><c> occasion</c>

00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:47.319
that<00:22:44.079><c> the</c><00:22:44.380><c> spirit</c><00:22:44.539><c> of</c><00:22:44.740><c> God</c><00:22:44.960><c> had</c><00:22:45.480><c> seized</c><00:22:45.720><c> him</c><00:22:46.400><c> just</c><00:22:46.720><c> as</c><00:22:46.980><c> much</c><00:22:47.160><c> as</c>

00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:50.180
if<00:22:47.440><c> God</c><00:22:47.579><c> had</c><00:22:47.799><c> said</c><00:22:47.880><c> to</c><00:22:47.980><c> him,</c><00:22:48.839><c> Thus</c><00:22:48.859><c> saith</c><00:22:49.200><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:22:50.380 --> 00:22:52.200
The<00:22:50.619><c> spirit</c><00:22:50.859><c> of</c><00:22:51.019><c> God</c><00:22:51.140><c> was</c><00:22:51.420><c> in</c><00:22:51.619><c> those</c><00:22:51.920><c> men.</c>

00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:54.940
But<00:22:52.819><c> you</c><00:22:52.940><c> know</c><00:22:53.019><c> what</c><00:22:53.140><c> the</c><00:22:53.299><c> spirit</c><00:22:53.460><c> of</c><00:22:53.640><c> God</c><00:22:53.799><c> never</c><00:22:54.079><c> did</c>

00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:57.960
and<00:22:55.220><c> it</c><00:22:55.460><c> never</c><00:22:55.660><c> has</c><00:22:55.920><c> done</c><00:22:56.119><c> to</c><00:22:56.359><c> anybody,</c><00:22:57.059><c> including</c><00:22:57.599><c> the</c><00:22:57.839><c> Son</c>

00:22:57.960 --> 00:22:58.359
of<00:22:58.160><c> God.</c>

00:22:58.539 --> 00:23:01.539
It<00:22:58.799><c> never</c><00:22:59.140><c> obliterated</c><00:22:59.900><c> their</c><00:23:00.119><c> own</c><00:23:00.420><c> personality</c><00:23:00.859><c> or</c><00:23:01.200><c> character.</c>

00:23:01.539 --> 00:23:06.059
Those<00:23:02.339><c> men</c><00:23:02.720><c> wrote</c><00:23:03.099><c> as</c><00:23:03.400><c> they</c><00:23:03.779><c> saw</c><00:23:04.059><c> things,</c><00:23:04.680><c> as</c><00:23:04.859><c> they</c><00:23:05.119><c> understood</c><00:23:05.660><c> things,</c>

00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:09.980
as<00:23:06.440><c> they</c><00:23:06.759><c> felt</c><00:23:07.099><c> the</c><00:23:07.279><c> power</c><00:23:07.539><c> of</c><00:23:07.740><c> the</c><00:23:07.880><c> word,</c><00:23:08.839><c> superintended</c><00:23:09.720><c> by</c>

00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:10.759
the<00:23:10.119><c> power</c><00:23:10.359><c> of</c><00:23:10.559><c> God,</c>

00:23:11.019 --> 00:23:13.940
so<00:23:11.140><c> that</c><00:23:11.220><c> when</c><00:23:11.440><c> David</c><00:23:11.819><c> wrote,</c><00:23:12.339><c> it</c><00:23:12.359><c> is</c><00:23:12.680><c> clearly</c><00:23:13.180><c> David</c><00:23:13.579><c> writing.</c>

00:23:14.220 --> 00:23:17.079
We<00:23:14.359><c> can</c><00:23:14.680><c> recognize</c><00:23:15.220><c> Paul's</c><00:23:15.640><c> letters</c><00:23:15.839><c> by</c><00:23:16.119><c> the</c><00:23:16.299><c> very</c><00:23:16.640><c> terminology</c>

00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:20.660
and<00:23:17.880><c> the</c><00:23:18.099><c> little</c><00:23:18.519><c> characteristics</c><00:23:19.220><c> that</c><00:23:19.460><c> Paul</c><00:23:19.619><c> expresses</c><00:23:20.099><c> there.</c>

00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:24.000
But<00:23:21.440><c> nonetheless,</c><00:23:22.279><c> God's</c><00:23:22.759><c> spirit</c><00:23:22.920><c> was</c><00:23:23.180><c> in</c><00:23:23.319><c> them.</c><00:23:23.440><c> It</c><00:23:23.619><c> had</c>

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:24.519
seized<00:23:24.220><c> them.</c>

00:23:24.740 --> 00:23:27.000
Now,<00:23:25.160><c> when</c><00:23:25.339><c> he</c><00:23:25.500><c> brought</c><00:23:25.660><c> that</c><00:23:26.079><c> fact</c><00:23:26.220><c> before</c><00:23:26.539><c> the</c><00:23:26.799><c> Hebrews,</c>

00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:28.720
they<00:23:27.319><c> knew</c><00:23:27.559><c> that.</c>

00:23:29.220 --> 00:23:32.279
God's<00:23:29.740><c> spirit</c><00:23:29.859><c> in</c><00:23:30.039><c> the</c><00:23:30.240><c> prophets,</c><00:23:30.799><c> why</c><00:23:31.119><c> did</c><00:23:31.240><c> he</c><00:23:31.440><c> say,</c><00:23:31.640><c> for</c><00:23:31.859><c> example,</c><00:23:32.180><c> in</c>

00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:33.099
chapter<00:23:32.579><c> 4,</c>

00:23:33.299 --> 00:23:37.839
saying<00:23:33.839><c> in</c><00:23:34.319><c> David,</c><00:23:35.740><c> not</c><00:23:36.000><c> by</c><00:23:36.359><c> David,</c><00:23:36.920><c> in</c><00:23:37.380><c> David.</c>

00:23:38.099 --> 00:23:40.920
God<00:23:38.460><c> said</c><00:23:38.799><c> something</c><00:23:39.319><c> in</c><00:23:39.960><c> David.</c>

00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:44.180
And<00:23:41.559><c> they</c><00:23:41.759><c> all</c><00:23:41.880><c> were</c><00:23:42.140><c> thrilled</c><00:23:42.519><c> at</c><00:23:42.700><c> that</c><00:23:43.000><c> because</c><00:23:43.359><c> they</c><00:23:43.559><c> all</c><00:23:43.759><c> understood</c>

00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:46.339
that<00:23:44.339><c> when</c><00:23:44.460><c> those</c><00:23:44.680><c> men</c><00:23:44.839><c> opened</c><00:23:45.099><c> their</c><00:23:45.319><c> mouth</c><00:23:45.619><c> and</c><00:23:46.000><c> that</c><00:23:46.119><c> was</c>

00:23:46.339 --> 00:23:47.579

00:23:47.579 --> 00:23:51.819
that<00:23:48.019><c> God</c><00:23:48.319><c> Almighty</c><00:23:48.759><c> was</c><00:23:49.079><c> talking</c><00:23:49.400><c> through</c><00:23:49.640><c> their</c><00:23:49.880><c> lips,</c><00:23:50.380><c> tremendous.</c>

00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:54.279
Well,<00:23:52.460><c> do</c><00:23:52.579><c> you</c><00:23:52.599><c> want</c><00:23:52.720><c> to</c><00:23:52.819><c> know</c><00:23:52.940><c> something,</c><00:23:53.299><c> says</c><00:23:53.400><c> Paul?</c>

00:23:55.019 --> 00:23:58.559
There's<00:23:55.500><c> even</c><00:23:55.740><c> a</c><00:23:56.059><c> greater</c><00:23:56.319><c> revelation</c><00:23:56.880><c> than</c><00:23:57.220><c> that.</c>

00:23:58.819 --> 00:24:01.059

And<00:31:12.720><c> John's</c><00:31:13.140><c> head</c><00:31:13.839><c> was</c><00:31:14.480><c> in</c><00:31:14.619><c> the</c><00:31:14.759><c> bosom</c><00:31:14.960><c> of</c><00:31:15.220><c> Jesus.</c>

00:31:16.940 --> 00:31:20.460
And<00:31:17.160><c> Jesus</c><00:31:17.480><c> told</c><00:31:17.819><c> one</c><00:31:18.119><c> man</c><00:31:18.720><c> who</c><00:31:18.960><c> the</c><00:31:19.180><c> traitor</c><00:31:19.319><c> was,</c>

00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:26.700
There<00:31:25.460><c> was</c><00:31:25.680><c> a</c><00:31:25.839><c> day,</c><00:31:26.220><c> brothers</c><00:31:26.259><c> and</c><00:31:26.359><c> sisters,</c>

00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.299
when<00:31:27.019><c> Peter</c><00:31:27.539><c> relied</c><00:31:28.220><c> upon</c><00:31:28.539><c> John</c><00:31:28.859><c> for</c><00:31:29.140><c> information,</c>

00:31:47.539 --> 00:31:48.700
He<00:31:47.700><c> may</c><00:31:47.920><c> have</c><00:31:48.079><c> spoken</c><00:31:48.299><c> to</c><00:31:48.480><c> Moses.</c>

00:31:48.700 --> 00:31:50.599

00:36:52.539 --> 00:36:55.019

00:37:01.420 --> 00:37:02.179
There's<00:37:01.679><c> the</c><00:37:01.840><c> difference.</c>

00:37:02.420 --> 00:37:06.780
God<00:37:02.699><c> spoke</c><00:37:02.980><c> from</c><00:37:03.219><c> the</c><00:37:03.440><c> earth,</c><00:37:03.880><c> in</c><00:37:04.000><c> the</c><00:37:04.260><c> prophets,</c><00:37:04.980><c> in</c><00:37:05.400><c> the</c><00:37:05.599><c> apostles</c><00:37:06.019><c> even,</c><00:37:06.599><c> in</c>

00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:11.579
Now,<00:37:10.360><c> that's</c><00:37:10.579><c> the</c><00:37:10.719><c> difference.</c>

00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:13.639
Not<00:37:11.900><c> that</c><00:37:12.099><c> God</c><00:37:12.360><c> didn't</c><00:37:12.639><c> speak</c><00:37:12.880><c> from</c><00:37:13.099><c> heaven</c><00:37:13.300><c> in</c><00:37:13.500><c> those,</c>

They<00:51:39.460><c> are</c><00:51:39.559><c> men</c><00:51:39.760><c> of</c><00:51:40.059><c> sign.</c>

00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:43.360
For<00:51:41.239><c> behold,</c><00:51:41.519><c> I</c><00:51:41.659><c> will</c><00:51:41.840><c> bring</c><00:51:42.039><c> forth</c><00:51:42.380><c> my</c><00:51:42.840><c> servant</c>

00:51:45.179 --> 00:51:46.760
For<00:51:45.539><c> behold,</c><00:51:45.920><c> the</c><00:51:46.139><c> stone</c><00:51:46.400><c> that</c><00:51:46.539><c> I</c><00:51:46.679><c> have</c><00:51:46.760><c> laid</c>

00:51:46.760 --> 00:51:49.059
before<00:51:47.219><c> Joshua,</c><00:51:48.179><c> upon</c><00:51:48.380><c> one</c><00:51:48.780><c> stone</c>

00:51:49.059 --> 00:51:50.619
shall<00:51:49.219><c> be</c><00:51:49.380><c> seven</c><00:51:49.639><c> eyes.</c>

00:51:50.699 --> 00:51:52.699
Behold,<00:51:50.960><c> I</c><00:51:51.199><c> will</c><00:51:51.420><c> engrave</c><00:51:51.780><c> the</c><00:51:51.960><c> graving</c><00:51:52.199><c> thereof,</c>

00:51:52.699 --> 00:51:54.860
said<00:51:52.860><c> Yahweh</c><00:51:53.260><c> of</c><00:51:53.480><c> armies,</c><00:51:54.199><c> and</c><00:51:54.480><c> I</c><00:51:54.679><c> will</c>

00:51:54.860 --> 00:51:56.880

00:51:57.159 --> 00:51:59.059
There<00:51:57.420><c> are</c><00:51:57.599><c> three</c><00:51:57.860><c> ideas</c><00:51:58.340><c> in</c><00:51:58.559><c> those</c><00:51:58.800><c> verses,</c>

brethren<00:51:59.400><c> and</c><00:51:59.659><c> sisters.</c>

00:52:00.900 --> 00:52:03.059
There's<00:52:01.159><c> a</c><00:52:01.360><c> branch.</c><00:52:01.639><c> You</c><00:52:01.719><c> know</c><00:52:01.780><c> what</c><00:52:01.860><c> a</c><00:52:02.019><c> branch</c><00:52:02.199><c> does?</c>

00:52:03.719 --> 00:52:05.239
It<00:52:03.840><c> grows</c><00:52:03.980><c> out</c><00:52:04.159><c> of</c><00:52:04.320><c> a</c><00:52:04.460><c> tree.</c>

00:52:06.940 --> 00:52:08.860
Your<00:52:07.360><c> arm</c><00:52:07.519><c> is</c><00:52:07.739><c> a</c><00:52:07.920><c> branch</c><00:52:08.119><c> of</c><00:52:08.280><c> your</c><00:52:08.519><c> body.</c>

00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:10.940
That's<00:52:09.719><c> you.</c><00:52:10.320><c> That's</c><00:52:10.719><c> the</c>

00:52:10.940 --> 00:52:12.960
branch.<00:52:12.000><c> And</c><00:52:12.159><c> that</c><00:52:12.360><c> comes</c><00:52:12.619><c> out</c>

00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:14.880
from<00:52:13.139><c> your</c><00:52:13.400><c> body</c><00:52:13.599><c> as</c><00:52:13.800><c> the</c><00:52:14.139><c> branch</c><00:52:14.460><c> does</c><00:52:14.699><c> from</c>

00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:17.219
the<00:52:15.119><c> tree,</c><00:52:15.300><c> as</c><00:52:15.400><c> an</c><00:52:15.579><c> extension</c><00:52:16.000><c> of</c><00:52:16.179><c> that</c><00:52:16.420><c> tree.</c>

00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:19.780
And<00:52:17.639><c> then</c><00:52:17.800><c> the</c><00:52:17.940><c> figure</c><00:52:18.099><c> changes</c><00:52:18.480><c> to</c><00:52:18.739><c> a</c><00:52:19.000><c> stone.</c>

00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:20.500
Why?

00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:23.039
Because<00:52:21.360><c> Israel</c><00:52:21.719><c> understood</c><00:52:22.199><c> that</c><00:52:22.360><c> when</c><00:52:22.460><c> they</c><00:52:22.659><c> had</c><00:52:22.820><c> a</c>

00:52:23.039 --> 00:52:24.920
stone<00:52:23.300><c> and</c><00:52:23.659><c> the</c><00:52:23.860><c> stone</c><00:52:24.039><c> was</c><00:52:24.300><c> used</c><00:52:24.460><c> to</c><00:52:24.639><c> make</c><00:52:24.780><c> an</c>

00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:26.880
altar<00:52:25.039><c> before</c><00:52:25.420><c> God,</c><00:52:25.940><c> no</c><00:52:26.219><c> man</c><00:52:26.460><c> was</c><00:52:26.719><c> ever</c>

00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:29.000
to<00:52:27.019><c> lift</c><00:52:27.119><c> up</c><00:52:27.300><c> a</c><00:52:27.440><c> tool</c><00:52:27.579><c> upon</c><00:52:27.840><c> that</c><00:52:28.059><c> stone</c><00:52:28.239><c> to</c><00:52:28.480><c> pollute</c><00:52:28.780><c> it.</c>

00:52:29.059 --> 00:52:30.579
He<00:52:29.199><c> wasn't</c><00:52:29.460><c> to</c><00:52:29.699><c> chip</c><00:52:29.820><c> it</c><00:52:29.960><c> and</c><00:52:30.119><c> to</c><00:52:30.320><c> shape</c><00:52:30.440><c> it.</c>

00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:33.059
God<00:52:30.760><c> says,</c><00:52:31.139><c> leave</c><00:52:31.159><c> it</c><00:52:31.380><c> be.</c><00:52:31.880><c> It</c><00:52:32.019><c> was</c><00:52:32.199><c> to</c><00:52:32.280><c> be</c><00:52:32.440><c> an</c><00:52:32.619><c> unhewn</c>

00:52:33.059 --> 00:52:34.860
stone.<00:52:33.360><c> Why?</c><00:52:34.019><c> Because</c><00:52:34.300><c> the</c><00:52:34.519><c> divine</c>

00:52:34.860 --> 00:52:36.880
tool<00:52:35.099><c> was</c><00:52:35.260><c> to</c><00:52:35.440><c> come</c><00:52:35.599><c> down</c><00:52:35.920><c> and</c><00:52:36.280><c> there</c><00:52:36.380><c> was</c><00:52:36.539><c> going</c><00:52:36.619><c> to</c><00:52:36.719><c> be</c>

00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:38.519
knocked<00:52:37.099><c> into</c><00:52:37.260><c> that</c><00:52:37.599><c> stone</c>

00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:40.139
seven<00:52:39.219><c> eyes.</c>

00:52:40.920 --> 00:52:42.719
And<00:52:41.179><c> the</c><00:52:41.400><c> eye,</c><00:52:41.980><c> says</c><00:52:42.320><c> Jesus,</c>

00:52:42.719 --> 00:52:45.000
is<00:52:42.940><c> the</c><00:52:43.260><c> light</c><00:52:43.579><c> of</c><00:52:43.900><c> the</c><00:52:44.059><c> body.</c>

00:52:45.420 --> 00:52:46.820
There's<00:52:45.460><c> only</c><00:52:45.719><c> one</c><00:52:45.960><c> man</c><00:52:46.219><c> who</c><00:52:46.460><c> understood</c>

00:52:46.820 --> 00:52:48.800
the<00:52:47.039><c> Bible</c><00:52:47.320><c> perfectly.</c>

00:52:48.960 --> 00:52:50.739
And<00:52:49.019><c> that</c><00:52:49.099><c> was</c><00:52:49.260><c> the</c><00:52:49.360><c> Lord</c><00:52:49.539><c> Jesus</c><00:52:49.940><c> Christ.</c><00:52:50.239><c> How</c><00:52:50.440><c> did</c><00:52:50.559><c> he</c><00:52:50.599><c> do</c>

00:52:50.739 --> 00:52:52.820
that?<00:52:51.260><c> Because</c><00:52:51.739><c> God</c><00:52:52.099><c> engraved</c>

00:52:52.820 --> 00:52:55.199
it<00:52:52.920><c> on</c><00:52:53.079><c> him.</c><00:52:54.679><c> Absolutely</c>

00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:56.739
engraved<00:52:55.739><c> it</c><00:52:55.880><c> on</c><00:52:55.980><c> him.</c>

00:52:57.059 --> 00:52:58.840
And<00:52:57.239><c> then</c><00:52:57.400><c> the</c><00:52:57.559><c> figure</c><00:52:57.719><c> changes</c><00:52:58.260><c> and</c>

00:52:58.840 --> 00:53:00.860
we<00:52:59.179><c> are</c><00:52:59.380><c> told</c><00:52:59.599><c> that</c><00:52:59.800><c> the</c><00:53:00.059><c> iniquity</c><00:53:00.420><c> of</c><00:53:00.519><c> that</c><00:53:00.719><c> land</c>

00:53:00.860 --> 00:53:02.659
will<00:53:01.039><c> be</c><00:53:01.159><c> removed</c><00:53:02.019><c> in</c><00:53:02.320><c> one</c>

00:53:02.659 --> 00:53:04.880
day.<00:53:04.340><c> Which</c><00:53:04.579><c> means</c>

00:53:04.880 --> 00:53:06.940
there's<00:53:05.079><c> got</c><00:53:05.199><c> to</c><00:53:05.400><c> be</c><00:53:05.840><c> a</c><00:53:06.280><c> wholesale</c>

00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:10.940
forgiven.<00:53:09.920><c> So</c><00:53:10.159><c> here's</c><00:53:10.440><c> what</c><00:53:10.679><c> Paul</c>

00:53:10.940 --> 00:53:12.860
says<00:53:11.079><c> in</c><00:53:11.219><c> Hebrews</c><00:53:11.579><c> chapter</c><00:53:12.019><c> one</c><00:53:12.300><c> to</c><00:53:12.480><c> three.</c>

00:53:13.099 --> 00:53:14.820
That<00:53:13.159><c> he</c><00:53:13.300><c> is</c><00:53:13.559><c> the</c><00:53:14.039><c> effulgence</c>

00:53:14.820 --> 00:53:16.579
of<00:53:15.019><c> the</c><00:53:15.159><c> divine</c><00:53:15.460><c> glory.</c>

00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:18.920
It's<00:53:18.019><c> the</c><00:53:18.239><c> character</c><00:53:18.659><c> of</c>

00:53:18.920 --> 00:53:20.360
God's<00:53:19.440><c> substance</c>

00:53:20.739 --> 00:53:23.300
that<00:53:21.039><c> he</c><00:53:21.179><c> might</c><00:53:21.440><c> purge</c><00:53:22.019><c> our</c><00:53:22.300><c> sins.</c>

00:53:24.320 --> 00:53:25.019
That's<00:53:24.699><c> taken</c>

00:53:25.019 --> 00:53:26.980
from<00:53:25.300><c> Zechariah</c><00:53:25.820><c> three</c><00:53:26.219><c> and</c><00:53:26.440><c> those</c><00:53:26.739><c> three</c>

00:53:26.980 --> 00:53:28.699
ideas<00:53:27.440><c> are</c><00:53:27.679><c> conveyed</c><00:53:28.019><c> in</c><00:53:28.219><c> those</c><00:53:28.460><c> things.</c>

00:53:29.039 --> 00:53:31.099
And<00:53:29.179><c> because</c><00:53:29.480><c> he</c><00:53:29.639><c> is</c><00:53:29.780><c> the</c><00:53:29.940><c> effulgence</c><00:53:30.320><c> of</c><00:53:30.500><c> God's</c><00:53:30.860><c> glory</c>

00:53:31.099 --> 00:53:33.119
and<00:53:31.460><c> because</c><00:53:31.820><c> the</c><00:53:32.139><c> God's</c><00:53:32.699><c> character</c>

00:53:33.119 --> 00:53:35.239
both<00:53:33.639><c> morally</c><00:53:34.039><c> and</c><00:53:34.440><c> now</c><00:53:34.760><c> physically</c>

00:53:35.239 --> 00:53:37.119
is<00:53:36.260><c> seen</c><00:53:36.460><c> in</c><00:53:36.639><c> that</c><00:53:36.860><c> man</c>

00:53:38.539 --> 00:53:41.199
He'll<00:53:39.559><c> remove</c><00:53:39.960><c> the</c><00:53:40.159><c> iniquity</c><00:53:40.579><c> in</c><00:53:40.840><c> one</c>

day.<00:53:42.780><c> Because</c>

00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:46.760

00:53:46.760 --> 00:53:49.440
