considerable<00:41:26.119><c> significance.</c>

00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:29.019
We<00:41:27.340><c> have</c><00:41:27.599><c> three</c><00:41:27.860><c> minutes.</c>

00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:31.840
I<00:41:29.699><c> want</c><00:41:29.699><c> to</c><00:41:29.820><c> ask</c><00:41:29.980><c> a</c><00:41:30.059><c> question.</c><00:41:30.679><c> I'll</c><00:41:30.800><c> make</c><00:41:30.920><c> a</c><00:41:31.039><c> comment.</c>

00:41:34.739 --> 00:41:39.179
Do<00:41:35.300><c> you</c><00:41:35.860><c> feel</c><00:41:36.159><c> that</c><00:41:37.360><c> the</c><00:41:37.579><c> caravan,</c><00:41:38.059><c> and</c><00:41:38.059><c> I'm</c><00:41:38.440><c> saying</c><00:41:38.739><c> caravan,</c>

00:41:39.340 --> 00:41:41.159
I've<00:41:39.519><c> always</c><00:41:39.739><c> said</c><00:41:39.880><c> caravan</c><00:41:40.320><c> all</c><00:41:40.579><c> my</c><00:41:40.800><c> life,</c>

00:41:41.579 --> 00:41:43.860
but<00:41:41.579><c> now</c><00:41:41.900><c> I</c><00:41:42.079><c> didn't,</c><00:41:42.460><c> I'll</c><00:41:42.639><c> use</c><00:41:42.800><c> it</c><00:41:43.059><c> correctly.</c>

00:41:46.500 --> 00:41:50.400
Do<00:41:47.059><c> you</c><00:41:47.139><c> feel</c><00:41:47.380><c> that</c><00:41:47.639><c> the</c><00:41:47.940><c> caravan</c><00:41:48.360><c> that</c><00:41:48.619><c> they</c><00:41:48.880><c> saw</c><00:41:49.039><c> in</c><00:41:49.219><c> the</c><00:41:49.380><c> Garden</c><00:41:49.599><c> of</c><00:41:49.820><c> Eden</c>

00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:57.300
was<00:41:51.139><c> the</c><00:41:52.179><c> four</c><00:41:53.219><c>-figured,</c><00:41:54.900><c> four</c><00:41:55.239><c>-faced</c><00:41:56.239><c> creature</c><00:41:56.900><c> that</c><00:41:57.119><c> you</c>

00:41:57.300 --> 00:41:58.360
spoke<00:41:57.599><c> of?</c>

00:41:58.539 --> 00:42:03.280
Yes,<00:41:59.179><c> I</c><00:41:59.179><c> think</c><00:42:00.599><c> using</c><00:42:01.280><c> it</c><00:42:01.599><c> in</c><00:42:01.699><c> a</c><00:42:01.880><c> symbolic</c><00:42:02.320><c> sense,</c><00:42:02.960><c> yes,</c><00:42:03.079><c> very</c>

00:42:03.280 --> 00:42:04.639
definitely<00:42:03.599><c> it</c><00:42:03.760><c> had</c><00:42:03.940><c> the</c><00:42:04.139><c> characteristics.</c>

00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:08.360
And<00:42:04.760><c> they</c><00:42:04.900><c> would</c><00:42:05.219><c> understand,</c><00:42:06.519><c> as</c><00:42:06.719><c> we</c><00:42:06.860><c> would</c><00:42:07.119><c> understand</c><00:42:07.699><c> when</c><00:42:07.880><c> they</c><00:42:08.139><c> saw</c>

00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:09.579
this<00:42:08.679><c> figure,</c>

00:42:10.679 --> 00:42:14.000
exactly<00:42:11.159><c> what</c><00:42:11.639><c> it</c><00:42:12.179><c> entailed</c><00:42:12.659><c> and</c><00:42:12.840><c> what</c><00:42:13.019><c> it</c><00:42:13.300><c> meant.</c>

00:42:14.019 --> 00:42:15.380
That's<00:42:14.019><c> right,</c><00:42:14.019><c> yes.</c><00:42:14.280><c> I'm</c><00:42:14.519><c> quite</c><00:42:14.719><c> sure</c><00:42:14.920><c> of</c><00:42:15.119><c> this.</c>

00:42:15.699 --> 00:42:18.400
They<00:42:15.920><c> would</c><00:42:16.119><c> have</c><00:42:16.280><c> to</c><00:42:16.460><c> be</c><00:42:16.739><c> instructed</c><00:42:17.079><c> in</c><00:42:17.239><c> this</c><00:42:17.480><c> would</c><00:42:17.639><c> they?</c>

00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:22.480
We<00:42:20.199><c> argue</c><00:42:20.679><c> this</c><00:42:20.860><c> is</c><00:42:21.039><c> a</c><00:42:21.039><c> great</c><00:42:21.199><c> deal,</c><00:42:21.519><c> don't</c><00:42:21.659><c> we?</c>

00:42:23.940 --> 00:42:26.960
Or<00:42:24.539><c> would</c><00:42:24.760><c> they</c><00:42:24.960><c> just</c><00:42:25.260><c> grasp</c><00:42:25.460><c> this</c><00:42:25.699><c> as</c><00:42:25.920><c> something</c><00:42:26.360><c> that</c><00:42:26.659><c> was</c>

00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:28.639
there<00:42:27.280><c> that</c><00:42:27.400><c> they</c><00:42:27.659><c> had</c><00:42:27.900><c> seen</c><00:42:28.079><c> before</c>

00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:34.380
so<00:42:29.000><c> that</c><00:42:29.199><c> they</c><00:42:29.380><c> could</c><00:42:30.639><c> ask</c><00:42:31.880><c> something</c><00:42:32.400><c> in</c><00:42:32.820><c> God's</c><00:42:33.420><c> creation?</c>

00:42:34.940 --> 00:42:38.719
Well<00:42:35.539><c> now,</c><00:42:35.840><c> first</c><00:42:36.119><c> of</c><00:42:36.320><c> all,</c><00:42:36.699><c> we</c><00:42:36.780><c> don't</c><00:42:37.159><c> know</c><00:42:37.579><c> really</c><00:42:37.960><c> that,</c><00:42:38.460><c> do</c><00:42:38.460><c> we?</c>

00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:43.800
What<00:42:39.340><c> we're</c><00:42:39.579><c> concerned</c><00:42:40.199><c> with</c><00:42:40.539><c> is</c><00:42:40.739><c> what</c><00:42:41.059><c> this</c><00:42:41.579><c> meant</c><00:42:41.980><c> to</c><00:42:43.579><c> the</c>

00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:46.280

00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:47.820
in<00:42:46.380><c> the</c><00:42:46.500><c> book</c><00:42:46.619><c> of</c><00:42:46.820><c> Genesis.</c>

00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:51.260
We<00:42:48.679><c> don't</c><00:42:49.059><c> really</c><00:42:49.519><c> know</c><00:42:49.760><c> when</c><00:42:49.960><c> that</c><00:42:50.320><c> was.</c>

00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:53.880
It's<00:42:52.079><c> tradition</c><00:42:52.500><c> that</c><00:42:52.699><c> Moses</c><00:42:53.059><c> wrote</c><00:42:53.400><c> Genesis.</c>

00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:58.219
We<00:42:54.159><c> don't</c><00:42:54.440><c> know</c><00:42:54.639><c> when</c><00:42:54.840><c> it</c><00:42:55.000><c> became</c><00:42:55.420><c> common</c><00:42:55.840><c> property</c><00:42:56.380><c> to</c><00:42:57.039><c> all</c><00:42:57.239><c> people.</c>

00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:02.900
I<00:42:58.699><c> think</c><00:42:58.900><c> the</c><00:42:59.280><c> important</c><00:42:59.639><c> thing</c><00:42:59.920><c> here</c><00:43:00.219><c> is</c><00:43:00.420><c> not</c><00:43:00.719><c> to</c><00:43:01.460><c> wonder</c><00:43:01.739><c> what</c><00:43:01.980><c> this</c><00:43:02.320><c> meant</c><00:43:02.599><c> to</c>

Adam<00:43:03.099><c> and</c><00:43:03.280><c> Eve,</c>

00:43:04.420 --> 00:43:08.280
but<00:43:04.599><c> what</c><00:43:04.800><c> it</c><00:43:05.139><c> meant</c><00:43:05.340><c> to</c><00:43:05.559><c> the</c><00:43:05.800><c> community</c><00:43:06.239><c> who</c><00:43:06.599><c> received</c><00:43:06.960><c> it.</c>

00:43:09.500 --> 00:43:14.460
And<00:43:09.679><c> this</c><00:43:09.860><c> would</c><00:43:10.139><c> be,</c><00:43:11.119><c> say,</c><00:43:12.780><c> as</c><00:43:13.079><c> far</c><00:43:13.340><c> as</c><00:43:13.480><c> we</c><00:43:13.599><c> can</c><00:43:13.960><c> tell,</c>

00:43:26.260 --> 00:43:30.000
It's<00:43:26.780><c> the</c><00:43:27.059><c> concept</c><00:43:27.599><c> of</c><00:43:27.940><c> the</c><00:43:28.159><c> people</c><00:43:28.420><c> who</c><00:43:28.699><c> lived</c><00:43:28.920><c> there</c><00:43:29.219><c> that's</c><00:43:29.619><c> important.</c>

00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:31.739

00:43:31.820 --> 00:43:36.119
Whatever<00:43:32.179><c> was</c><00:43:32.559><c> involved</c><00:43:32.900><c> in</c><00:43:33.159><c> between</c><00:43:33.719><c> that</c><00:43:34.420><c> period</c><00:43:34.739><c> of</c><00:43:35.079><c> time,</c>

00:43:42.860 --> 00:43:44.679
The<00:43:42.940><c> process</c><00:43:43.260><c> is</c><00:43:43.539><c> there.</c>

00:43:45.260 --> 00:43:48.440
Abraham<00:43:45.539><c> is</c><00:43:45.840><c> one</c><00:43:46.019><c> of</c><00:43:46.139><c> the</c><00:43:46.300><c> best</c><00:43:46.460><c> examples</c><00:43:47.000><c> of</c><00:43:47.239><c> a</c><00:43:47.400><c> man.</c>

Did<00:43:49.480><c> he</c><00:43:49.639><c> receive</c><00:43:49.920><c> it</c><00:43:50.099><c> by</c><00:43:50.260><c> divine</c><00:43:50.480><c> revelation?</c>

00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:52.679
I<00:43:51.460><c> doubt</c><00:43:51.659><c> it</c><00:43:51.840><c> very</c><00:43:52.119><c> much.</c>

00:43:53.059 --> 00:43:57.099
Who<00:43:53.460><c> achieved</c><00:43:53.960><c> a</c><00:43:54.219><c> concept</c><00:43:54.659><c> of</c><00:43:54.960><c> God</c><00:43:55.219><c> and</c><00:43:55.440><c> all</c><00:43:55.599><c> his</c><00:43:55.800><c> characteristics</c>

00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:01.920
and<00:43:58.519><c> did</c><00:43:59.039><c> his</c><00:43:59.320><c> best</c><00:43:59.559><c> to</c><00:43:59.840><c> pattern</c><00:44:00.000><c> his</c><00:44:00.280><c> life</c><00:44:00.460><c> in</c><00:44:00.679><c> harmony</c><00:44:00.960><c> with</c><00:44:01.179><c> it.</c>

00:44:02.260 --> 00:44:05.300
So<00:44:02.480><c> Abraham</c><00:44:02.739><c> was</c><00:44:02.960><c> a</c><00:44:03.119><c> carrot</c><00:44:03.400><c> in</c><00:44:04.300><c> that</c><00:44:04.539><c> sense.</c>

00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:12.420
If<00:44:05.880><c> you</c><00:44:06.059><c> take</c><00:44:06.420><c> that</c><00:44:06.679><c> idea</c><00:44:07.099><c> that</c><00:44:07.920><c> when</c><00:44:09.579><c> it</c><00:44:10.099><c> was</c><00:44:10.360><c> written,</c><00:44:11.099><c> what</c><00:44:11.320><c> happened,</c>

00:44:12.820 --> 00:44:16.280
you<00:44:12.980><c> realize</c><00:44:13.320><c> that</c><00:44:13.500><c> a</c><00:44:13.639><c> lot</c><00:44:13.860><c> of</c><00:44:14.199><c> time</c><00:44:14.539><c> passed</c><00:44:15.219><c> and</c><00:44:15.360><c> a</c><00:44:15.360><c> lot</c><00:44:15.619><c> of</c><00:44:15.800><c> things</c><00:44:15.960><c> were</c><00:44:16.139><c> on</c>

00:44:19.860 --> 00:44:22.739
You<00:44:20.380><c> just</c><00:44:20.639><c> realize</c><00:44:20.940><c> how</c><00:44:21.159><c> much</c><00:44:21.420><c> they</c><00:44:21.639><c> didn't</c><00:44:22.079><c> know</c><00:44:22.360><c> or</c><00:44:22.519><c> could</c>

00:44:22.739 --> 00:44:23.639
have<00:44:22.960><c> known,</c>

00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:26.900

00:44:26.900 --> 00:44:28.159

00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:30.940
they<00:44:28.500><c> understood</c><00:44:28.860><c> completely</c><00:44:29.599><c> what</c><00:44:30.579><c> was</c><00:44:30.880><c> said.</c>

00:44:30.940 --> 00:44:34.079
I<00:44:31.460><c> would</c><00:44:31.719><c> say</c><00:44:31.940><c> that</c><00:44:32.119><c> what</c><00:44:32.260><c> we're</c><00:44:32.440><c> concerned</c><00:44:32.920><c> with</c><00:44:33.179><c> is</c><00:44:33.480><c> not</c><00:44:33.679><c> what</c><00:44:33.860><c> it</c>

00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:35.400

00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:50.880
People<00:44:46.019><c> were</c><00:44:46.380><c> perhaps</c><00:44:46.699><c> confused,</c><00:44:48.679><c> in</c><00:44:48.980><c> doubt,</c><00:44:49.940><c> in</c><00:44:50.139><c> despair</c><00:44:50.659><c> as</c>

to<00:44:51.059><c> exactly</c>

00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:54.280
what<00:44:51.880><c> was</c><00:44:52.159><c> the</c><00:44:52.260><c> way</c><00:44:52.420><c> of</c><00:44:52.639><c> life</c><00:44:52.800><c> and</c><00:44:52.900><c> what</c><00:44:53.059><c> was</c><00:44:53.320><c> involved.</c>

00:44:54.539 --> 00:44:58.840
And<00:44:54.760><c> here</c><00:44:54.880><c> we</c><00:44:55.079><c> have</c><00:44:55.280><c> very</c><00:44:55.639><c> simple</c><00:44:55.980><c> symbolism,</c><00:44:57.500><c> quite</c><00:44:57.699><c> familiar</c><00:44:58.119><c> to</c><00:44:58.400><c> them,</c>

00:45:15.260 --> 00:45:19.000
what's<00:45:15.739><c> important</c><00:45:16.119><c> is</c><00:45:16.340><c> what</c><00:45:17.019><c> spiritual</c><00:45:17.699><c> truth</c><00:45:18.179><c> is</c><00:45:18.539><c> revealed</c>

00:45:21.539 --> 00:45:26.119
It<00:45:22.019><c> seems</c><00:45:22.400><c> like</c><00:45:23.440><c> a</c><00:45:23.760><c> figure</c><00:45:24.019><c> of</c><00:45:24.380><c> speech</c><00:45:24.619><c> in</c><00:45:24.900><c> Genesis</c><00:45:25.219><c> rather</c><00:45:25.639><c> than</c><00:45:25.980><c> a</c>

00:45:28.099 --> 00:45:31.119
