devastating<00:01:51.500><c> circumstances.</c>

00:01:53.859 --> 00:01:56.000
That's<00:01:54.060><c> what</c><00:01:54.180><c> this</c><00:01:54.400><c> little</c><00:01:54.579><c> book</c><00:01:54.719><c> is</c><00:01:54.879><c> all</c><00:01:55.079><c> about.</c>

00:01:57.900 --> 00:02:01.480
It<00:01:58.060><c> says</c><00:01:58.239><c> at</c><00:01:58.379><c> the</c><00:01:58.459><c> beginning</c><00:01:58.680><c> of</c><00:01:58.859><c> the</c><00:01:58.959><c> book,</c><00:02:00.700><c> now</c><00:02:00.879><c> it</c><00:02:01.079><c> came</c><00:02:01.260><c> to</c>

00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:03.599

00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:10.659
The<00:02:06.920><c> beginning</c><00:02:07.299><c> word</c><00:02:07.680><c> in</c><00:02:08.000><c> this</c><00:02:08.319><c> book</c><00:02:08.460><c> is</c><00:02:08.819><c> the</c><00:02:09.039><c> word</c><00:02:09.460><c> and,</c><00:02:10.400><c> not</c>

00:02:16.259 --> 00:02:21.500

something<00:02:21.900><c> else.</c>

00:02:22.780 --> 00:02:27.319
So<00:02:23.259><c> the</c><00:02:23.439><c> book</c><00:02:23.719><c> is</c><00:02:24.080><c> connecting</c><00:02:24.479><c> itself</c><00:02:24.960><c> to</c><00:02:25.180><c> the</c><00:02:25.460><c> historical</c><00:02:26.139><c> reality</c><00:02:26.719><c> of</c>

It's<00:02:32.719><c> talking</c><00:02:33.039><c> about</c><00:02:33.580><c> all</c><00:02:34.259><c> of</c><00:02:34.460><c> the</c><00:02:34.819><c> evil</c><00:02:35.319><c> of</c><00:02:35.539><c> the</c><00:02:35.780><c> days</c><00:02:36.039><c> of</c><00:02:36.319><c> the</c><00:02:36.479><c> judges.</c>

00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.099
Look<00:02:37.199><c> what</c><00:02:37.379><c> it</c><00:02:37.560><c> says</c><00:02:37.719><c> right</c><00:02:37.900><c> at</c><00:02:38.080><c> the</c><00:02:38.120><c> end</c><00:02:38.280><c> of</c><00:02:38.419><c> the</c><00:02:38.479><c> book</c><00:02:38.620><c> of</c><00:02:38.800><c> the</c><00:02:38.900><c> judges.</c>

00:02:39.259 --> 00:02:42.639
In<00:02:39.259><c> those</c><00:02:39.639><c> days</c><00:02:40.159><c> there</c><00:02:40.599><c> was</c><00:02:40.800><c> no</c><00:02:40.979><c> king</c><00:02:41.080><c> in</c><00:02:41.259><c> the</c><00:02:41.419><c> land,</c><00:02:42.159><c> and</c><00:02:42.300><c> every</c><00:02:42.460><c> man</c>

00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:48.599
People<00:02:45.939><c> did</c><00:02:46.139><c> what</c><00:02:46.319><c> felt</c><00:02:46.900><c> good</c><00:02:47.419><c> for</c><00:02:47.719><c> them.</c>

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.900
People<00:02:49.659><c> did</c><00:02:49.939><c> what</c><00:02:50.099><c> was</c><00:02:50.539><c> convenient</c><00:02:51.319><c> for</c><00:02:51.659><c> them.</c>

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.659

The<00:02:56.300><c> absolutes</c><00:02:56.759><c> were</c><00:02:57.080><c> gone.</c>

00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.439
They<00:02:58.180><c> had</c><00:02:58.620><c> frittered</c><00:02:59.099><c> themselves</c><00:02:59.500><c> away.</c>

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.379
The<00:03:01.060><c> boundaries</c><00:03:01.659><c> between</c><00:03:02.419><c> good</c><00:03:02.960><c> and</c><00:03:03.219><c> evil,</c><00:03:03.560><c> right</c><00:03:03.879><c> and</c><00:03:04.099><c> wrong</c>

00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.199

00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.120
God<00:13:54.659><c> might</c><00:13:54.860><c> be</c><00:13:55.039><c> trying</c><00:13:55.159><c> to</c><00:13:55.320><c> tell</c><00:13:55.419><c> me</c><00:13:55.659><c> something.</c>

00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:28.159
God<00:14:25.759><c> chastens</c><00:14:26.179><c> us</c><00:14:26.340><c> because</c><00:14:26.480><c> he</c><00:14:26.600><c> loves</c><00:14:26.940><c> us,</c>

For<00:15:10.080><c> you</c><00:15:10.519><c> it</c><00:15:10.820><c> may</c><00:15:11.059><c> be</c><00:15:11.480><c> something</c><00:15:11.840><c> entirely</c><00:15:12.700><c> different.</c>

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:17.039
Well,<00:15:15.720><c> there</c><00:15:15.820><c> are</c><00:15:15.899><c> two</c><00:15:16.059><c> ways</c><00:15:16.299><c> that</c><00:15:16.460><c> we</c><00:15:16.519><c> can</c><00:15:16.720><c> react</c>

00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:21.539
Remember,<00:15:19.940><c> he</c><00:15:20.240><c> disciplines</c><00:15:20.620><c> us</c><00:15:20.940><c> that</c><00:15:21.179><c> way</c>

00:15:21.539 --> 00:15:24.919
that<00:15:22.059><c> we</c><00:15:22.240><c> might</c><00:15:22.559><c> not</c><00:15:22.840><c> experience</c><00:15:23.360><c> the</c><00:15:23.700><c> third</c><00:15:24.039><c> form</c><00:15:24.299><c> of</c><00:15:24.500><c> judgment.</c>

00:15:25.419 --> 00:15:27.779
We<00:15:25.659><c> judge</c><00:15:25.779><c> ourselves,</c><00:15:26.139><c> if</c><00:15:26.259><c> we</c><00:15:26.440><c> don't</c><00:15:26.580><c> then</c><00:15:26.720><c> he</c><00:15:26.919><c> judges</c><00:15:27.179><c> us</c>

00:15:31.059 --> 00:15:32.980
And<00:15:31.179><c> if</c><00:15:31.259><c> we</c><00:15:31.360><c> don't</c><00:15:31.480><c> respond</c><00:15:31.820><c> that</c><00:15:32.059><c> way,</c>

00:15:33.179 --> 00:15:37.620
then<00:15:33.320><c> we</c><00:15:33.500><c> shall</c><00:15:33.639><c> be</c><00:15:34.120><c> condemned</c><00:15:35.019><c> in</c><00:15:35.600><c> the</c><00:15:35.899><c> judgment</c><00:15:36.240><c> of</c><00:15:36.419><c> the</c><00:15:36.620><c> world</c>

00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:43.259
when<00:15:37.940><c> Christ</c><00:15:38.379><c> returns</c><00:15:39.159><c> with</c><00:15:40.360><c> wrath</c><00:15:40.659><c> against</c><00:15:41.059><c> all</c><00:15:41.299><c> that</c><00:15:41.480><c> are</c><00:15:41.679><c> ungodly.</c>

00:15:44.259 --> 00:15:47.759

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:49.799
is<00:15:48.080><c> one</c><00:15:48.259><c> of</c><00:15:48.360><c> two</c><00:15:48.559><c> things.</c>

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.820
We<00:15:50.320><c> can</c><00:15:51.000><c> realize</c><00:15:51.440><c> what</c><00:15:51.600><c> we've</c><00:15:51.899><c> done,</c>

00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:56.220
just<00:15:53.240><c> like</c><00:15:53.399><c> a</c><00:15:53.639><c> child</c><00:15:53.980><c> can</c><00:15:54.240><c> realize</c><00:15:54.820><c> what</c><00:15:55.240><c> he</c><00:15:55.460><c> or</c><00:15:55.620><c> she</c><00:15:55.799><c> has</c><00:15:56.080><c> done</c>

00:15:56.220 --> 00:16:00.220
when<00:15:56.759><c> they're</c><00:15:57.179><c> disciplined</c><00:15:57.840><c> and</c><00:15:58.919><c> turn</c><00:15:59.220><c> back</c><00:15:59.600><c> to</c><00:15:59.779><c> God</c>

00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:02.159

00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:07.299
There's<00:16:02.860><c> a</c><00:16:03.039><c> hug</c><00:16:03.379><c> and</c><00:16:04.659><c> a</c><00:16:04.720><c> restoration</c><00:16:05.779><c> of</c><00:16:06.039><c> the</c><00:16:06.240><c> relationship,</c>

00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.620
the<00:16:07.639><c> alienation</c><00:16:08.279><c> that</c><00:16:08.460><c> had</c><00:16:08.700><c> taken</c><00:16:08.919><c> place</c><00:16:09.220><c> because</c><00:16:09.539><c> of</c><00:16:09.679><c> the</c><00:16:10.100><c> wrongdoing</c>

00:16:10.620 --> 00:16:12.879
is<00:16:10.840><c> now</c><00:16:11.159><c> done</c><00:16:11.340><c> away</c><00:16:11.580><c> with</c><00:16:11.759><c> and</c><00:16:11.960><c> forgotten.</c>

00:16:13.740 --> 00:16:15.379

00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:05.000
as<00:19:02.539><c> some</c><00:19:02.799><c> children</c><00:19:03.119><c> can</c><00:19:03.420><c> when</c><00:19:03.579><c> they</c><00:19:03.740><c> are</c><00:19:03.819><c> disciplined?</c>

00:19:06.660 --> 00:19:09.740
He<00:19:06.720><c> names</c><00:19:06.900><c> his</c><00:19:07.180><c> sons</c><00:19:07.519><c> sickly</c><00:19:08.579><c> and</c><00:19:08.839><c> pining</c><00:19:09.140><c> away</c>

00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:13.480
because<00:19:10.500><c> that's</c><00:19:10.740><c> all</c><00:19:10.920><c> he</c><00:19:11.079><c> could</c><00:19:11.279><c> see</c><00:19:11.460><c> God</c><00:19:11.700><c> doing</c><00:19:12.059><c> to</c><00:19:12.279><c> his</c><00:19:12.480><c> people.</c>

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:16.220
That's<00:19:13.940><c> all</c><00:19:14.039><c> he</c><00:19:14.140><c> could</c><00:19:14.319><c> see</c><00:19:14.440><c> God</c><00:19:14.619><c> doing</c><00:19:14.819><c> to</c><00:19:15.019><c> his</c><00:19:15.140><c> family.</c>

00:19:17.059 --> 00:19:19.779
And<00:19:17.240><c> he</c><00:19:17.279><c> names</c><00:19:17.539><c> his</c><00:19:17.680><c> children</c><00:19:18.099><c> out</c><00:19:18.400><c> of</c><00:19:18.660><c> resentment.</c>

00:19:20.619 --> 00:19:23.339
Now,<00:19:21.240><c> perhaps</c><00:19:21.559><c> that's</c><00:19:21.839><c> going</c><00:19:22.059><c> too</c><00:19:22.400><c> far.</c>

00:19:23.660 --> 00:19:25.940
Perhaps<00:19:23.920><c> he</c><00:19:24.140><c> named</c><00:19:24.319><c> his</c><00:19:24.599><c> children</c><00:19:24.920><c> this</c><00:19:25.119><c> out</c><00:19:25.220><c> of</c><00:19:25.500><c> sorrow.</c>

00:19:25.940 --> 00:19:29.420
But<00:19:27.180><c> there's</c><00:19:27.400><c> definitely</c><00:19:27.880><c> the</c><00:19:28.119><c> wrong</c><00:19:28.319><c> attitude</c>

00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:34.140
because<00:19:30.559><c> he</c><00:19:31.200><c> takes</c><00:19:31.599><c> them</c><00:19:31.759><c> and</c><00:19:31.920><c> he</c><00:19:32.079><c> leaves</c><00:19:32.640><c> Bethlehem</c><00:19:33.259><c> Judah.</c>

00:19:34.660 --> 00:19:36.640
Now,<00:19:34.900><c> consider</c><00:19:35.460><c> this</c><00:19:35.640><c> for</c><00:19:35.799><c> a</c><00:19:35.880><c> minute.</c>

00:19:36.660 --> 00:19:40.079
There's<00:19:36.880><c> famine</c><00:19:37.339><c> in</c><00:19:37.619><c> the</c><00:19:37.799><c> land</c><00:19:38.039><c> of</c><00:19:38.319><c> Bethlehem</c><00:19:38.980><c> Judah.</c>

00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:42.259
Bethlehem<00:19:40.940><c> means</c><00:19:41.180><c> the</c><00:19:41.400><c> house</c><00:19:41.579><c> of</c><00:19:41.900><c> bread.</c>

00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:44.460
Judah<00:19:42.920><c> means</c><00:19:43.240><c> praise.</c>

00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.460
The<00:19:45.380><c> house</c><00:19:45.619><c> of</c><00:19:45.900><c> bread</c><00:19:46.400><c> and</c><00:19:47.420><c> praise.</c>

00:19:48.980 --> 00:19:50.579
But<00:19:49.119><c> there</c><00:19:49.299><c> was</c><00:19:49.440><c> no</c><00:19:49.680><c> bread.</c>

00:19:50.900 --> 00:19:52.640
So<00:19:51.079><c> what</c><00:19:51.220><c> was</c><00:19:51.420><c> the</c><00:19:51.519><c> missing</c><00:19:51.720><c> element?</c>

00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:54.500
Praise.

00:19:55.279 --> 00:20:00.500
The<00:19:55.799><c> life</c><00:19:56.059><c> that</c><00:19:56.180><c> was</c><00:19:56.420><c> lived</c><00:19:56.579><c> by</c><00:19:56.799><c> the</c><00:19:56.960><c> people</c><00:19:57.299><c> in</c><00:19:57.619><c> the</c><00:19:57.799><c> land</c><00:19:58.480><c> of</c><00:19:59.059><c> Israel,</c>

the<00:20:00.759><c> life</c><00:20:00.920><c> that</c><00:20:01.059><c> was</c><00:20:01.240><c> lived</c><00:20:01.359><c> in</c><00:20:02.079><c> Bethlehem</c><00:20:02.900><c> Judah,</c>

00:20:05.140 --> 00:20:06.680

00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:09.859
There<00:20:07.700><c> was</c><00:20:07.900><c> a</c><00:20:08.140><c> corrupted</c><00:20:08.559><c> worship</c><00:20:09.140><c> of</c><00:20:09.380><c> God.</c>

00:20:10.180 --> 00:20:11.759
God<00:20:10.400><c> was</c><00:20:10.660><c> not</c><00:20:10.819><c> in</c><00:20:10.940><c> their</c><00:20:11.279><c> thoughts.</c>

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:13.339
The<00:20:12.339><c> fool</c><00:20:12.539><c> hath</c><00:20:12.720><c> said</c><00:20:12.920><c> in</c><00:20:13.079><c> his</c><00:20:13.240><c> heart,</c>

00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:16.880
And<00:20:15.019><c> there's</c><00:20:15.220><c> many</c><00:20:15.440><c> a</c><00:20:15.740><c> fool</c><00:20:15.980><c> among</c><00:20:16.299><c> us.</c>

00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:20.940
There's<00:20:17.319><c> many</c><00:20:17.579><c> a</c><00:20:17.900><c> foolish</c><00:20:18.259><c> time</c><00:20:18.740><c> in</c><00:20:18.900><c> our</c><00:20:19.180><c> own</c><00:20:19.359><c> individual</c><00:20:19.859><c> lives</c>

as<00:20:21.519><c> a</c><00:20:21.819><c> people.</c>

00:20:22.259 --> 00:20:24.779
When<00:20:22.819><c> we</c><00:20:23.039><c> live</c><00:20:23.240><c> our</c><00:20:23.480><c> lives,</c><00:20:23.599><c> when</c><00:20:23.740><c> I</c><00:20:23.920><c> live</c><00:20:24.079><c> my</c><00:20:24.420><c> life,</c>

00:20:37.700 --> 00:20:42.019
Well,<00:20:39.539><c> there</c><00:20:39.599><c> was</c><00:20:40.160><c> no</c><00:20:40.539><c> thought</c><00:20:40.720><c> of</c><00:20:41.000><c> God</c><00:20:41.380><c> in</c><00:20:41.619><c> the</c><00:20:41.700><c> midst</c><00:20:41.839><c> of</c>

because<00:20:45.859><c> there</c><00:20:46.059><c> was</c><00:20:46.220><c> no</c><00:20:46.480><c> praise.</c>

00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:49.779
And<00:20:48.359><c> so</c><00:20:48.599><c> he</c><00:20:48.859><c> disciplined</c><00:20:49.339><c> them.</c>

00:20:49.779 --> 00:20:53.319
And<00:20:50.559><c> he</c><00:20:50.779><c> takes</c><00:20:51.099><c> his</c><00:20:51.359><c> family</c><00:20:51.759><c> and</c><00:20:52.200><c> he</c><00:20:52.339><c> goes</c><00:20:52.579><c> into</c><00:20:52.880><c> the</c><00:20:52.980><c> country</c>

00:20:54.680 --> 00:21:00.519

00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:06.140
Now<00:21:04.079><c> the</c><00:21:04.140><c> word</c><00:21:04.259><c> Sojourn</c><00:21:04.559><c> means</c><00:21:04.799><c> to</c><00:21:04.960><c> travel</c><00:21:05.200><c> through</c><00:21:05.480><c> as</c><00:21:05.680><c> a</c><00:21:05.799><c> stranger</c>

00:21:14.299 --> 00:21:15.839
So<00:21:14.440><c> that's</c><00:21:14.559><c> what</c><00:21:14.680><c> he</c><00:21:14.859><c> went</c><00:21:14.980><c> there</c><00:21:15.259><c> for,</c>

00:21:36.660 --> 00:21:38.299
The<00:21:36.880><c> intent</c><00:21:37.099><c> is</c><00:21:37.279><c> not</c><00:21:37.400><c> that</c><00:21:37.480><c> they</c><00:21:37.599><c> will</c><00:21:37.859><c> run</c><00:21:38.079><c> away.</c>

00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:45.200
That's<00:21:43.940><c> not</c><00:21:44.119><c> the</c><00:21:44.299><c> attitude.</c>

00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:49.460

00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:51.299
And<00:21:49.680><c> that's</c><00:21:49.839><c> what</c><00:21:49.980><c> God</c><00:21:50.180><c> was</c><00:21:50.359><c> trying</c><00:21:50.539><c> to</c><00:21:50.619><c> do</c><00:21:50.680><c> with</c><00:21:50.839><c> his</c><00:21:51.019><c> people.</c>

00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:00.740

00:29:41.890 --> 00:29:43.009
Why<00:29:42.109><c> Haran?</c>

00:29:43.490 --> 00:29:46.210
Because<00:29:43.730><c> in</c><00:29:43.950><c> Haran</c><00:29:44.410><c> there</c><00:29:44.670><c> was</c><00:29:44.869><c> a</c><00:29:45.170><c> particular</c><00:29:45.589><c> worship</c><00:29:46.029><c> of</c>

then<00:29:56.450><c> they</c><00:29:56.589><c> got</c><00:29:56.730><c> to</c><00:29:56.950><c> Haran.</c>

00:29:57.609 --> 00:29:59.930
And<00:29:57.789><c> perhaps</c><00:29:58.029><c> Terah</c><00:29:58.329><c> had</c><00:29:58.529><c> had</c><00:29:58.670><c> enough</c><00:29:58.910><c> of</c><00:29:59.509><c> the</c><00:29:59.529><c> journey.</c>

00:30:00.269 --> 00:30:01.849
He<00:30:00.309><c> said,</c><00:30:00.630><c> this</c><00:30:00.650><c> is</c><00:30:00.890><c> as</c><00:30:01.049><c> far</c><00:30:01.150><c> as</c><00:30:01.250><c> I'm</c><00:30:01.390><c> going,</c><00:30:01.710><c> son.</c>

00:30:02.210 --> 00:30:03.450
I'm<00:30:02.529><c> not</c><00:30:02.690><c> going</c><00:30:02.829><c> any</c><00:30:03.089><c> further.</c>

00:30:03.910 --> 00:30:04.930

00:30:04.930 --> 00:30:06.430
This<00:30:05.130><c> is</c><00:30:05.410><c> something</c><00:30:05.609><c> I</c><00:30:05.789><c> can</c><00:30:05.970><c> relate</c><00:30:06.190><c> to.</c>

00:30:06.549 --> 00:30:08.769
I'm<00:30:06.910><c> not</c><00:30:07.109><c> going</c><00:30:07.369><c> any</c><00:30:07.690><c> further.</c>

00:30:09.170 --> 00:30:12.210
Out<00:30:09.269><c> of</c><00:30:09.410><c> respect</c><00:30:09.750><c> for</c><00:30:09.930><c> his</c><00:30:10.109><c> father,</c><00:30:10.549><c> because</c><00:30:10.670><c> his</c><00:30:10.910><c> father</c><00:30:11.190><c> was</c>

00:30:12.210 --> 00:30:13.789

Abraham<00:30:14.690><c> stayed.</c>

00:30:15.829 --> 00:30:20.049
But<00:30:16.150><c> it</c><00:30:16.369><c> says</c><00:30:16.549><c> Abraham</c><00:30:17.049><c> continued</c><00:30:17.650><c> on</c><00:30:18.190><c> after</c><00:30:18.730><c> Terah</c><00:30:19.109><c> died.</c>

00:30:20.109 --> 00:30:21.650
Acts<00:30:20.369><c> chapter</c><00:30:20.670><c> 7</c><00:30:20.930><c> verse</c><00:30:21.190><c> 4</c><00:30:21.450><c> says,</c>

00:30:22.009 --> 00:30:26.650
Then<00:30:22.230><c> came</c><00:30:22.650><c> he,</c><00:30:23.109><c> Abraham,</c><00:30:24.109><c> out</c><00:30:24.349><c> of</c><00:30:24.450><c> the</c><00:30:24.630><c> land</c><00:30:24.789><c> of</c><00:30:24.970><c> the</c><00:30:25.089><c> Chaldeans</c><00:30:25.529><c> and</c><00:30:25.710><c> dwelt</c><00:30:25.890><c> in</c><00:30:26.109><c> Haran.</c>

00:30:26.650 --> 00:30:30.950
And<00:30:27.210><c> from</c><00:30:27.549><c> thence,</c><00:30:28.329><c> when</c><00:30:28.690><c> his</c><00:30:29.089><c> father</c><00:30:29.450><c> was</c><00:30:30.009><c> dead,</c>

00:30:30.970 --> 00:30:34.529
he<00:30:31.130><c> removed</c><00:30:31.509><c> into</c><00:30:31.769><c> this</c><00:30:32.069><c> land</c><00:30:32.750><c> wherein</c><00:30:33.190><c> ye</c><00:30:33.470><c> now</c><00:30:33.730><c> dwell.</c>

00:30:36.269 --> 00:30:40.190
So<00:30:36.430><c> the</c><00:30:36.730><c> decisioner</c><00:30:37.069><c> who</c><00:30:37.250><c> were</c><00:30:37.930><c> delayed</c><00:30:38.630><c> died.</c>

00:30:40.289 --> 00:30:46.670
And<00:30:40.450><c> in</c><00:30:40.589><c> this</c><00:30:40.809><c> case,</c><00:30:42.130><c> Elimelech,</c><00:30:43.230><c> Naomi's</c><00:30:43.890><c> husband,</c><00:30:46.029><c> died.</c>

00:30:47.309 --> 00:30:49.930
And<00:30:47.549><c> she</c><00:30:47.769><c> was</c><00:30:48.049><c> left</c><00:30:48.769><c> at</c><00:30:49.450><c> her</c><00:30:49.630><c> sons.</c>

00:30:50.230 --> 00:30:51.190
So<00:30:50.390><c> she</c><00:30:50.490><c> can</c><00:30:50.609><c> make</c><00:30:50.769><c> a</c><00:30:50.910><c> decision.</c>

00:30:51.450 --> 00:30:52.750
She<00:30:51.589><c> can</c><00:30:51.750><c> go</c><00:30:51.950><c> right</c><00:30:52.150><c> back</c><00:30:52.430><c> home.</c>

00:30:53.170 --> 00:30:54.069
That's<00:30:53.369><c> what</c><00:30:53.470><c> she</c><00:30:53.589><c> can</c><00:30:53.769><c> do.</c>

00:30:54.069 --> 00:30:56.410
More<00:30:54.829><c> than</c><00:30:55.029><c> likely,</c><00:30:55.410><c> this</c><00:30:55.410><c> is</c><00:30:55.549><c> what's</c><00:30:55.750><c> in</c><00:30:55.829><c> her</c><00:30:56.049><c> heart.</c>

00:30:56.609 --> 00:30:58.650
This<00:30:56.769><c> is</c><00:30:56.990><c> Naomi's</c><00:30:57.569><c> opportunity</c><00:30:58.069><c> to</c><00:30:58.250><c> go</c><00:30:58.470><c> back.</c>

00:30:58.650 --> 00:30:59.250
What<00:30:58.869><c> happens?</c>

00:30:59.569 --> 00:31:01.470
There's<00:31:00.009><c> a</c><00:31:00.109><c> kind</c><00:31:00.250><c> of</c><00:31:00.509><c> haste.</c>

00:31:01.470 --> 00:31:04.210
And<00:31:01.690><c> they</c><00:31:01.849><c> took</c><00:31:02.049><c> them,</c><00:31:02.549><c> wives</c><00:31:02.730><c> of</c><00:31:02.890><c> the</c><00:31:02.970><c> women</c><00:31:03.190><c> of</c><00:31:03.430><c> Moab.</c>

00:31:12.849 --> 00:31:16.769
And<00:31:13.309><c> they</c><00:31:13.769><c> dwelled</c><00:31:14.369><c> there</c><00:31:15.269><c> about</c><00:31:16.029><c> ten</c><00:31:16.329><c> years.</c>

00:31:17.049 --> 00:31:19.589
They'd<00:31:17.289><c> gone</c><00:31:17.430><c> there</c><00:31:17.630><c> to</c><00:31:17.849><c> Sojourn.</c>

00:31:19.990 --> 00:31:21.509

00:31:21.509 --> 00:31:23.390
And<00:31:22.369><c> the</c><00:31:22.769><c> boys</c><00:31:23.029><c> grew</c><00:31:23.289><c> up.</c>

00:31:23.410 --> 00:31:24.210
What<00:31:23.569><c> else</c><00:31:23.769><c> have</c><00:31:23.890><c> they</c><00:31:24.069><c> known?</c>

00:31:24.289 --> 00:31:25.950
They've<00:31:24.529><c> only</c><00:31:24.730><c> known</c><00:31:24.950><c> Moab.</c>

00:31:27.069 --> 00:31:28.450
That's<00:31:27.289><c> all</c><00:31:27.470><c> they</c><00:31:27.690><c> know.</c>

00:31:28.809 --> 00:31:30.650
That's<00:31:29.069><c> what's</c><00:31:29.349><c> familiar</c><00:31:29.630><c> to</c><00:31:29.769><c> them.</c>

00:31:30.910 --> 00:31:32.430
They've<00:31:31.069><c> grown</c><00:31:31.170><c> up</c><00:31:31.329><c> in</c><00:31:31.430><c> the</c><00:31:31.650><c> world,</c><00:31:31.950><c> away</c><00:31:32.130><c> from</c><00:31:32.289><c> the</c><00:31:32.410><c> Ecclesiastes.</c>

00:31:32.470 --> 00:31:34.470

00:31:37.470 --> 00:31:38.829
Terrible<00:31:37.910><c> mistake</c><00:31:38.269><c> we</c><00:31:38.410><c> can</c><00:31:38.630><c> make,</c>

There's<00:33:27.049><c> emphasis.</c>

00:33:28.390 --> 00:33:34.390
God<00:33:28.569><c> is</c><00:33:28.910><c> telling</c><00:33:29.069><c> us,</c><00:33:30.150><c> look,</c><00:33:31.029><c> when</c><00:33:31.170><c> you</c><00:33:31.529><c> move</c><00:33:31.930><c> away</c><00:33:32.369><c> from</c><00:33:32.690><c> me,</c>

faithful<00:33:47.789><c> men?</c>

00:33:49.210 --> 00:33:50.250
You<00:33:49.309><c> notice</c><00:33:49.470><c> the</c><00:33:49.609><c> one</c><00:33:49.730><c> that</c><00:33:49.869><c> is</c><00:33:50.069><c> left.</c>

00:33:58.410 --> 00:34:00.849
Because<00:33:58.690><c> perhaps</c><00:33:59.049><c> this</c><00:33:59.250><c> was</c><00:33:59.450><c> the</c><00:33:59.569><c> one</c><00:33:59.710><c> that</c><00:33:59.890><c> God</c><00:34:00.069><c> could</c><00:34:00.329><c> work</c><00:34:00.609><c> with.</c>
