00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:37.240
The<00:10:32.519><c> question</c><00:10:32.860><c> is</c><00:10:33.120><c> put</c><00:10:33.419><c> in</c><00:10:34.000><c> a</c><00:10:34.240><c> way</c><00:10:34.399><c> in</c><00:10:34.519><c> which</c><00:10:35.059><c> it</c><00:10:35.419><c> assumes</c><00:10:35.899><c> no</c><00:10:36.279><c> answer.</c>

God<00:11:07.820><c> is</c><00:11:08.940><c> willing</c><00:11:09.299><c> to</c><00:11:09.700><c> show</c><00:11:09.820><c> his</c><00:11:10.059><c> wrath.</c>

00:11:53.299 --> 00:11:55.960
What<00:11:53.740><c> for?</c><00:11:54.460><c> Why</c><00:11:54.720><c> didn't</c><00:11:54.919><c> he</c><00:11:55.200><c> destroy</c><00:11:55.460><c> him</c><00:11:55.639><c> quickly?</c>

00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:57.779
He<00:11:56.259><c> was</c><00:11:56.539><c> willing</c><00:11:56.740><c> to</c><00:11:57.019><c> destroy</c><00:11:57.220><c> him</c><00:11:57.440><c> quickly.</c>

00:11:58.059 --> 00:11:59.600
He<00:11:58.240><c> was</c><00:11:58.500><c> willing</c><00:11:58.679><c> to</c><00:11:58.960><c> show</c><00:11:59.059><c> his</c><00:11:59.360><c> power.</c>

00:11:59.620 --> 00:12:00.659
He<00:11:59.840><c> wanted</c><00:12:00.080><c> to</c><00:12:00.279><c> do</c><00:12:00.440><c> that.</c>

00:12:00.820 --> 00:12:03.639
But<00:12:01.039><c> he</c><00:12:01.299><c> bore</c><00:12:01.500><c> long</c><00:12:01.799><c> with</c><00:12:02.179><c> Pharaoh</c><00:12:02.419><c> that</c><00:12:02.740><c> ultimately</c><00:12:03.379><c> when</c>

Israel<00:12:03.980><c> left</c><00:12:04.279><c> Egypt,</c>

00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.220

00:12:07.220 --> 00:12:11.539
So<00:12:07.960><c> all</c><00:12:08.299><c> the</c><00:12:08.460><c> delay</c><00:12:08.879><c> was</c><00:12:09.200><c> for</c><00:12:09.559><c> Israel's</c><00:12:10.500><c> sake.</c>

00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:15.480
The<00:12:12.279><c> RSV</c><00:12:12.779><c> says,</c><00:12:13.059><c> brothers</c><00:12:13.279><c> and</c><00:12:13.500><c> sisters,</c><00:12:14.200><c> he</c><00:12:14.399><c> was</c><00:12:14.700><c> desiring</c>

00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.120
But<00:12:20.980><c> if</c><00:12:21.159><c> he</c><00:12:21.360><c> forbears</c><00:12:21.899><c> to</c><00:12:22.179><c> show</c><00:12:22.340><c> it,</c><00:12:23.120><c> it</c><00:12:23.220><c> is</c><00:12:23.480><c> because</c><00:12:23.740><c> he</c><00:12:23.879><c> wants</c>

00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:27.820

00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.139
If<00:12:28.659><c> it</c><00:12:28.820><c> seems</c><00:12:29.059><c> to</c><00:12:29.200><c> us</c><00:12:29.440><c> today</c><00:12:29.879><c> that</c><00:12:30.100><c> these</c><00:12:30.340><c> vessels</c><00:12:30.639><c> of</c><00:12:30.899><c> wrath</c>

00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:43.940
Why<00:12:42.940><c> does</c><00:12:43.159><c> God</c><00:12:43.379><c> bear</c><00:12:43.639><c> with</c><00:12:43.840><c> them?</c>

00:12:44.019 --> 00:12:47.779
The<00:12:44.139><c> answer</c><00:12:44.580><c> is</c><00:12:45.179><c> that</c><00:12:45.799><c> God</c><00:12:46.039><c> is</c><00:12:46.299><c> long</c><00:12:46.620><c>-suffering,</c><00:12:47.059><c> not</c><00:12:47.440><c> willing</c>

00:12:52.700 --> 00:12:54.120
That's<00:12:53.100><c> the</c><00:12:53.259><c> answer.</c>

00:12:54.700 --> 00:12:58.139
The<00:12:55.019><c> long</c><00:12:55.460><c>-suffering</c><00:12:55.860><c> of</c><00:12:56.100><c> God</c><00:12:56.580><c> waited</c><00:12:57.120><c> in</c><00:12:57.340><c> the</c><00:12:57.519><c> days</c><00:12:57.720><c> of</c><00:12:58.019><c> Noah.</c>

00:12:59.899 --> 00:13:02.820
For<00:13:00.259><c> vessels</c><00:13:00.679><c> of</c><00:13:01.059><c> mercy</c><00:13:01.360><c> to</c><00:13:01.580><c> be</c><00:13:01.799><c> prepared,</c><00:13:02.179><c> if</c><00:13:02.340><c> they</c><00:13:02.639><c> wanted</c>

00:13:15.259 --> 00:13:18.919
He<00:13:15.259><c> was</c><00:13:15.519><c> more</c><00:13:15.980><c> than</c><00:13:16.220><c> willing</c><00:13:16.460><c> to</c><00:13:16.659><c> destroy</c><00:13:17.019><c> the</c><00:13:17.259><c> antediluvians,</c><00:13:18.179><c> but</c><00:13:18.340><c> he</c><00:13:18.659><c> waited</c>

00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:20.639

00:13:21.340 --> 00:13:25.379
So<00:13:21.600><c> God's</c><00:13:22.080><c> determined</c><00:13:22.399><c> purpose,</c><00:13:22.919><c> therefore,</c><00:13:23.700><c> doesn't</c><00:13:24.039><c> suffer</c><00:13:24.419><c> because</c><00:13:24.759><c> he</c><00:13:24.960><c> delays.</c>

00:13:25.379 --> 00:13:29.080
It's<00:13:26.019><c> still</c><00:13:26.179><c> determined</c><00:13:26.820><c> that</c><00:13:27.419><c> he</c><00:13:27.480><c> will</c><00:13:27.779><c> delay</c><00:13:28.259><c> and</c><00:13:28.620><c> delay</c>

That<00:18:22.299><c> all</c><00:18:22.539><c> the</c><00:18:22.740><c> earth</c><00:18:22.940><c> may</c><00:18:23.220><c> know</c><00:18:23.380><c> there's</c><00:18:23.559><c> a</c><00:18:23.660><c> God</c><00:18:23.740><c> in</c><00:18:23.980><c> Israel.</c>

00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:27.200
There's<00:18:25.180><c> going</c><00:18:25.259><c> to</c><00:18:25.359><c> be</c><00:18:25.519><c> a</c><00:18:25.660><c> declaration</c><00:18:26.299><c> before</c><00:18:26.640><c> all</c><00:18:26.900><c> the</c><00:18:27.079><c> world</c>

00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:28.960
that<00:18:27.299><c> they</c><00:18:27.480><c> might</c><00:18:27.759><c> know</c><00:18:28.140><c> God's</c><00:18:28.799><c> glory.</c>

00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:33.920
So<00:18:29.799><c> the</c><00:18:30.059><c> world</c><00:18:30.339><c> on</c><00:18:30.559><c> this</c><00:18:30.819><c> side</c><00:18:31.019><c> will</c><00:18:31.319><c> learn</c><00:18:31.819><c> that</c><00:18:32.299><c> God</c><00:18:32.519><c> is</c><00:18:32.839><c> glorious.</c>

00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:40.819
But<00:18:36.359><c> the</c><00:18:36.720><c> saints,</c><00:18:37.279><c> brethren</c><00:18:37.400><c> and</c><00:18:37.660><c> sisters,</c><00:18:38.980><c> by</c><00:18:39.240><c> the</c><00:18:39.460><c> same</c><00:18:39.720><c> delay,</c>

00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:44.480
can<00:18:42.019><c> learn</c><00:18:42.339><c> the</c><00:18:42.960><c> riches</c><00:18:43.559><c> of</c><00:18:43.799><c> his</c><00:18:44.079><c> glory.</c>

00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:46.619
That's<00:18:45.079><c> what</c><00:18:45.220><c> the</c><00:18:45.420><c> world</c><00:18:45.539><c> will</c><00:18:45.660><c> never</c><00:18:45.900><c> learn.</c>

00:18:46.660 --> 00:18:47.920
What's<00:18:47.000><c> the</c><00:18:47.099><c> difference?</c>

00:18:48.259 --> 00:18:51.839
Well,<00:18:48.500><c> one</c><00:18:48.700><c> will</c><00:18:48.940><c> learn</c><00:18:49.200><c> about</c><00:18:49.500><c> the</c><00:18:49.740><c> glory</c><00:18:50.000><c> of</c><00:18:50.180><c> God</c><00:18:50.440><c> when</c><00:18:50.660><c> it</c><00:18:50.960><c> happens.</c>

00:18:53.380 --> 00:18:56.420
But<00:18:53.660><c> the</c><00:18:53.900><c> other</c><00:18:54.119><c> one</c><00:18:54.380><c> will</c><00:18:54.660><c> learn</c><00:18:55.140><c> by</c><00:18:55.440><c> the</c><00:18:55.559><c> very</c><00:18:55.880><c> delay</c>

00:18:56.420 --> 00:18:59.279
and<00:18:56.619><c> seeing</c><00:18:57.460><c> the</c><00:18:57.720><c> hand</c><00:18:57.960><c> of</c><00:18:58.160><c> God</c><00:18:58.400><c> in</c><00:18:58.559><c> his</c><00:18:58.799><c> purpose</c>

00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:01.700
and<00:18:59.759><c> the</c><00:18:59.960><c> reason</c><00:19:00.180><c> for</c><00:19:00.339><c> the</c><00:19:00.519><c> delay</c><00:19:00.700><c> being</c><00:19:00.920><c> for</c><00:19:01.140><c> our</c><00:19:01.420><c> sake,</c>

00:19:02.099 --> 00:19:04.940
will<00:19:02.240><c> learn</c><00:19:02.579><c> the</c><00:19:03.200><c> value</c><00:19:03.859><c> of</c><00:19:04.319><c> that</c><00:19:04.579><c> glory.</c>

00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:07.319
They'll<00:19:05.700><c> see</c><00:19:05.799><c> the</c><00:19:06.240><c> value</c><00:19:06.940><c> of</c><00:19:07.180><c> it.</c>

00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:09.180
They<00:19:07.519><c> won't</c><00:19:07.740><c> see</c><00:19:07.900><c> the</c><00:19:08.099><c> value</c><00:19:08.319><c> of</c><00:19:08.480><c> it.</c>

00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:10.140
They'll<00:19:09.519><c> see</c><00:19:09.619><c> the</c><00:19:09.859><c> glory.</c>

00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:13.119
But<00:19:10.500><c> these</c><00:19:10.660><c> will</c><00:19:10.859><c> see</c><00:19:11.039><c> the</c><00:19:11.480><c> value</c><00:19:11.839><c> of</c><00:19:12.059><c> that</c><00:19:12.279><c> glory.</c>

00:19:13.420 --> 00:19:15.579
Paul<00:19:13.740><c> calls</c><00:19:13.980><c> it</c><00:19:14.140><c> in</c><00:19:14.279><c> Romans</c><00:19:14.559><c> 2</c><00:19:14.880><c> and</c><00:19:15.059><c> verse</c><00:19:15.220><c> 4,</c>

00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:19.519
the<00:19:15.900><c> riches</c><00:19:16.440><c> of</c><00:19:16.759><c> his</c><00:19:17.059><c> goodness,</c><00:19:17.880><c> the</c><00:19:18.220><c> value</c><00:19:18.700><c> of</c><00:19:18.940><c> that</c><00:19:19.180><c> goodness.</c>

00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:21.440
Because<00:19:20.180><c> the</c><00:19:20.319><c> word</c><00:19:20.500><c> riches</c><00:19:20.779><c> is</c><00:19:21.039><c> well</c><00:19:21.259><c> rendered.</c>

00:19:21.579 --> 00:19:22.740
It<00:19:21.579><c> means</c><00:19:21.859><c> wealth.</c>

00:19:23.099 --> 00:19:27.519
The<00:19:23.539><c> true</c><00:19:23.980><c> values</c><00:19:24.579><c> will</c><00:19:24.779><c> be</c><00:19:25.039><c> seen</c><00:19:25.259><c> by</c><00:19:25.559><c> those</c><00:19:25.980><c> who</c><00:19:26.200><c> perceive</c>

00:19:27.619 --> 00:19:30.440
the<00:19:28.059><c> reason</c><00:19:28.440><c> for</c><00:19:28.619><c> the</c><00:19:28.900><c> long</c><00:19:29.200><c> suffering</c><00:19:29.500><c> of</c><00:19:29.680><c> that</c><00:19:29.940><c> potter</c>

00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.460
who<00:19:30.740><c> is</c><00:19:31.039><c> more</c><00:19:31.420><c> than</c><00:19:31.740><c> willing</c><00:19:31.980><c> to</c><00:19:32.259><c> show</c><00:19:32.420><c> his</c><00:19:32.640><c> rock.</c>

00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:35.220
Now,<00:19:33.700><c> we</c><00:19:33.799><c> ought</c><00:19:33.900><c> to</c><00:19:33.960><c> be</c><00:19:34.059><c> able</c><00:19:34.180><c> to</c><00:19:34.279><c> see</c><00:19:34.400><c> that,</c><00:19:34.859><c> brethren</c><00:19:34.859><c> and</c><00:19:35.119><c> sisters.</c>

00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:37.259
We<00:19:35.420><c> ought</c><00:19:35.519><c> to</c><00:19:35.619><c> be</c><00:19:35.660><c> able</c><00:19:35.720><c> to</c><00:19:35.720><c> look</c><00:19:35.880><c> at</c><00:19:36.000><c> the</c><00:19:36.519><c> world</c><00:19:36.900><c> and</c><00:19:37.059><c> say,</c>

00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:39.519
why<00:19:37.660><c> does</c><00:19:37.859><c> God</c><00:19:38.039><c> allow</c><00:19:38.259><c> this</c><00:19:38.440><c> to</c><00:19:38.599><c> go</c><00:19:38.799><c> on?</c>

00:19:39.539 --> 00:19:41.380
Well,<00:19:39.799><c> there's</c><00:19:40.079><c> a</c><00:19:40.279><c> complete</c><00:19:40.619><c> answer</c><00:19:40.920><c> for</c><00:19:41.119><c> that.</c>

00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:43.900
It's<00:19:41.799><c> not</c><00:19:42.039><c> because</c><00:19:42.359><c> God</c><00:19:42.579><c> has</c><00:19:42.859><c> set</c><00:19:42.980><c> down</c><00:19:43.259><c> a</c><00:19:43.500><c> set</c><00:19:43.660><c> time.</c>

00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:46.220
When<00:19:44.059><c> that</c><00:19:44.299><c> time</c><00:19:44.519><c> ticks</c><00:19:44.819><c> off,</c><00:19:45.240><c> he'll</c><00:19:45.559><c> send</c><00:19:45.700><c> his</c><00:19:45.980><c> son.</c>

00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:47.759
Though,<00:19:46.779><c> of</c><00:19:46.980><c> course,</c><00:19:47.119><c> that's</c><00:19:47.420><c> true.</c>

00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:49.099
But<00:19:48.099><c> that's</c><00:19:48.380><c> not</c><00:19:48.640><c> the</c><00:19:48.880><c> reason.</c>

00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.559
It's<00:19:49.319><c> not</c><00:19:49.420><c> as</c><00:19:49.559><c> if</c><00:19:49.640><c> God's</c><00:19:50.019><c> waiting</c><00:19:50.279><c> for</c><00:19:50.460><c> the</c><00:19:50.740><c> clock.</c>

00:19:51.859 --> 00:19:54.359
That's<00:19:52.359><c> not</c><00:19:52.539><c> Peter's</c><00:19:53.079><c> point</c><00:19:53.220><c> or</c><00:19:53.500><c> Paul's</c><00:19:53.900><c> point.</c>

00:19:54.579 --> 00:19:58.359
God's<00:19:54.960><c> waiting</c><00:19:55.279><c> for</c><00:19:55.660><c> you</c><00:19:55.940><c> and</c><00:19:56.200><c> me</c><00:19:56.519><c> to</c><00:19:56.720><c> respond</c><00:19:57.180><c> to</c><00:19:57.359><c> him.</c>

00:19:58.900 --> 00:20:00.420
And<00:19:59.000><c> when</c><00:19:59.099><c> he</c><00:19:59.279><c> knows</c><00:19:59.559><c> that</c><00:19:59.720><c> he's</c><00:19:59.960><c> foreknowled,</c>

00:20:00.500 --> 00:20:03.119
that<00:20:00.660><c> all</c><00:20:00.940><c> have</c><00:20:01.160><c> responded,</c><00:20:01.660><c> that</c><00:20:01.720><c> will</c><00:20:01.980><c> respond,</c>

00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:06.059
then<00:20:03.779><c> he</c><00:20:03.880><c> will</c><00:20:04.019><c> be</c><00:20:04.259><c> more</c><00:20:04.579><c> than</c><00:20:04.880><c> willing</c><00:20:05.099><c> to</c><00:20:05.339><c> show</c><00:20:05.500><c> that</c><00:20:05.740><c> power.</c>

00:20:06.299 --> 00:20:09.440
And<00:20:06.420><c> when</c><00:20:06.559><c> he</c><00:20:06.819><c> does,</c><00:20:07.500><c> those</c><00:20:07.859><c> of</c><00:20:08.059><c> us</c><00:20:08.259><c> who</c><00:20:08.500><c> have</c><00:20:08.759><c> responded</c>

00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.960
and<00:20:10.059><c> have</c><00:20:10.359><c> seen</c><00:20:10.500><c> the</c><00:20:10.740><c> providence</c><00:20:10.980><c> of</c><00:20:11.220><c> God</c><00:20:11.279><c> in</c><00:20:11.420><c> our</c><00:20:11.640><c> lives</c>

00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.440
will<00:20:12.500><c> know</c><00:20:12.779><c> the</c><00:20:13.180><c> value</c><00:20:13.880><c> of</c><00:20:14.299><c> that</c><00:20:14.519><c> glory.</c>

00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:16.660
That's<00:20:16.299><c> the</c><00:20:16.400><c> point.</c>

00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.240
That's<00:20:17.079><c> a</c><00:20:17.240><c> beautiful</c><00:20:17.839><c> point</c><00:20:18.180><c> that</c><00:20:18.319><c> the</c><00:20:18.480><c> apostle</c><00:20:18.759><c> is</c><00:20:18.920><c> talking</c><00:20:19.099><c> about.</c>

00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:23.160
And<00:20:19.400><c> only</c><00:20:19.740><c> vessels</c><00:20:20.039><c> of</c><00:20:20.319><c> mercy</c><00:20:20.579><c> will</c><00:20:20.880><c> ever</c><00:20:21.240><c> know</c><00:20:21.539><c> the</c><00:20:21.740><c> value</c><00:20:22.059><c> of</c><00:20:22.319><c> that.</c>

00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:25.960
Now,<00:20:24.019><c> who</c><00:20:24.160><c> are</c><00:20:24.420><c> these</c><00:20:24.660><c> vessels</c><00:20:24.940><c> of</c><00:20:25.240><c> mercy?</c>

00:20:26.500 --> 00:20:28.940
Well,<00:20:26.779><c> he's</c><00:20:26.880><c> going</c><00:20:27.019><c> to</c><00:20:27.119><c> come</c><00:20:27.339><c> back</c><00:20:27.500><c> to</c><00:20:27.619><c> the</c><00:20:28.200><c> original</c><00:20:28.680><c> point</c>

00:20:28.940 --> 00:20:29.519
that<00:20:29.119><c> he</c><00:20:29.279><c> made.</c>

00:20:29.819 --> 00:20:31.240
Not<00:20:29.960><c> all</c><00:20:30.279><c> Jews</c><00:20:30.579><c> will</c><00:20:30.799><c> be</c><00:20:31.059><c> saved,</c>

00:20:31.619 --> 00:20:34.920
and<00:20:31.779><c> furthermore,</c><00:20:32.720><c> some</c><00:20:33.160><c> Gentiles</c><00:20:33.700><c> will</c><00:20:33.920><c> be</c><00:20:34.160><c> saved.</c>

00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:37.859
Now,<00:20:35.799><c> I'll</c><00:20:36.000><c> say</c><00:20:36.119><c> that</c><00:20:36.299><c> again,</c><00:20:36.779><c> because</c><00:20:37.019><c> that's</c><00:20:37.480><c> the</c><00:20:37.579><c> essence</c>

00:20:37.859 --> 00:20:38.240
of<00:20:38.019><c> it.</c>

00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:40.839
Now,<00:20:38.740><c> we</c><00:20:38.900><c> know</c><00:20:39.180><c> this,</c><00:20:39.339><c> of</c><00:20:39.579><c> course,</c><00:20:39.859><c> from</c><00:20:40.099><c> our</c><00:20:40.420><c> point</c><00:20:40.599><c> of</c><00:20:40.740><c> view,</c>

00:20:40.859 --> 00:20:43.539
that<00:20:41.160><c> there'll</c><00:20:41.420><c> be</c><00:20:41.579><c> some</c><00:20:41.880><c> Jews</c><00:20:42.099><c> saved</c><00:20:42.359><c> and</c><00:20:42.500><c> some</c><00:20:42.779><c> Gentiles</c><00:20:43.200><c> saved.</c>

00:20:43.740 --> 00:20:45.640
But<00:20:44.079><c> now</c><00:20:44.440><c> you're</c><00:20:44.740><c> a</c><00:20:44.880><c> Jew</c><00:20:44.980><c> and</c><00:20:45.079><c> I'm</c><00:20:45.400><c> a</c><00:20:45.539><c> Jew,</c>

00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:46.819
and<00:20:45.779><c> we've</c><00:20:45.940><c> got</c><00:20:46.039><c> a</c><00:20:46.200><c> different</c><00:20:46.359><c> opinion.</c>

00:20:46.900 --> 00:20:48.240
We<00:20:47.180><c> look</c><00:20:47.339><c> at</c><00:20:47.519><c> things</c><00:20:47.720><c> differently.</c>

00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.900
And<00:20:48.960><c> we're</c><00:20:49.200><c> going</c><00:20:49.339><c> to</c><00:20:49.460><c> learn</c><00:20:49.660><c> now</c><00:20:50.140><c> that</c><00:20:50.500><c> not</c><00:20:50.859><c> all</c><00:20:51.420><c> Jews</c><00:20:51.660><c> will</c>

00:20:51.900 --> 00:20:52.359
be<00:20:52.140><c> saved,</c>

00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.019
which<00:20:52.700><c> we</c><00:20:53.039><c> thought</c><00:20:53.220><c> they</c><00:20:53.559><c> were,</c><00:20:53.920><c> or</c><00:20:54.000><c> some</c><00:20:54.180><c> of</c><00:20:54.299><c> us</c><00:20:54.500><c> did</c><00:20:54.619><c> at</c><00:20:54.799><c> least.</c>

00:20:57.460 --> 00:21:01.059
And<00:20:57.940><c> along</c><00:20:58.420><c> with</c><00:20:58.619><c> the</c><00:20:58.819><c> fact</c><00:20:59.000><c> that</c><00:20:59.220><c> not</c><00:20:59.420><c> all</c><00:20:59.680><c> Jews</c><00:20:59.880><c> will</c><00:21:00.099><c> be</c><00:21:00.279><c> saved,</c>

00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:04.119
some<00:21:01.720><c> Gentiles</c><00:21:02.200><c> also</c><00:21:02.759><c> will</c><00:21:03.059><c> be</c><00:21:03.319><c> saved,</c>

00:21:04.500 --> 00:21:06.720
which,<00:21:04.920><c> of</c><00:21:04.960><c> course,</c><00:21:05.180><c> the</c><00:21:05.359><c> Jew</c><00:21:05.460><c> never</c><00:21:05.799><c> considered.</c>

00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:11.039
And<00:21:07.200><c> so</c><00:21:07.380><c> in</c><00:21:07.559><c> verse</c><00:21:07.839><c> 24,</c><00:21:08.839><c> speaking</c><00:21:09.119><c> about</c><00:21:09.359><c> the</c><00:21:09.599><c> vessels</c><00:21:09.799><c> of</c><00:21:10.099><c> mercy,</c>

00:21:11.819 --> 00:21:12.920
he<00:21:12.059><c> says,</c>

00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:26.819
Now,<00:21:23.720><c> if</c><00:21:24.019><c> you</c><00:21:24.579><c> follow</c><00:21:24.839><c> that</c><00:21:25.299><c> very</c><00:21:25.779><c> closely,</c>

00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:31.119
there's<00:21:27.740><c> a</c><00:21:27.940><c> wonderful,</c><00:21:28.980><c> subtle</c><00:21:29.240><c> point</c><00:21:29.640><c> being</c><00:21:30.019><c> made.</c>

00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:33.779
Because<00:21:32.259><c> the</c><00:21:32.500><c> point</c><00:21:32.680><c> he's</c><00:21:32.880><c> making</c><00:21:33.160><c> is</c><00:21:33.440><c> this.</c>

00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:35.859
He's<00:21:34.359><c> been</c><00:21:34.539><c> talking</c><00:21:34.720><c> about</c><00:21:34.880><c> the</c><00:21:35.140><c> vessels</c><00:21:35.400><c> of</c><00:21:35.680><c> wrath</c>

00:21:35.859 --> 00:21:37.500
who<00:21:36.160><c> had</c><00:21:36.299><c> fitted</c><00:21:36.400><c> themselves</c><00:21:36.859><c> with</c><00:21:37.079><c> destruction.</c>

00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:40.980
And<00:21:37.799><c> of</c><00:21:37.980><c> course,</c><00:21:38.200><c> obviously,</c><00:21:40.079><c> the</c><00:21:40.099><c> chief</c><00:21:40.359><c> representative</c>

00:21:40.980 --> 00:21:42.299
was<00:21:41.400><c> Pharaoh.</c>

00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:45.220
Now,<00:21:43.440><c> why</c><00:21:43.680><c> did</c><00:21:43.900><c> God</c><00:21:44.160><c> bear</c><00:21:44.420><c> long</c><00:21:44.619><c> with</c><00:21:44.880><c> him?</c>

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:48.319
Because<00:21:45.720><c> he</c><00:21:45.859><c> was</c><00:21:46.099><c> preparing</c><00:21:46.480><c> Israel</c><00:21:46.940><c> for</c><00:21:47.119><c> that</c><00:21:47.319><c> exodus.</c>

00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:50.579
They<00:21:49.000><c> were</c><00:21:49.099><c> going</c><00:21:49.180><c> to</c><00:21:49.240><c> be</c><00:21:49.420><c> the</c><00:21:49.539><c> vessels</c><00:21:49.759><c> of</c><00:21:49.920><c> his</c><00:21:50.119><c> mercy,</c>

00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.619
even<00:21:51.279><c> though</c><00:21:51.480><c> they</c><00:21:51.640><c> didn't</c><00:21:51.859><c> respond</c><00:21:52.279><c> later.</c>

00:21:52.859 --> 00:21:54.460
But<00:21:53.000><c> that's</c><00:21:53.359><c> God's</c><00:21:53.720><c> purpose</c><00:21:53.980><c> with</c><00:21:54.220><c> them.</c>

00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:57.400
So<00:21:54.759><c> he</c><00:21:54.980><c> bears</c><00:21:55.279><c> long</c><00:21:55.579><c> with</c><00:21:55.799><c> him</c><00:21:56.140><c> that</c><00:21:56.319><c> he</c><00:21:56.460><c> might</c><00:21:56.640><c> prepare</c><00:21:57.039><c> them.</c>

00:21:57.779 --> 00:21:59.599
But<00:21:57.980><c> now</c><00:21:58.240><c> the</c><00:21:58.420><c> apostle</c><00:21:58.779><c> Paul</c><00:21:59.140><c> says,</c>

00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:04.220
The<00:22:00.079><c> vessels</c><00:22:00.400><c> of</c><00:22:00.720><c> mercy</c><00:22:01.019><c> are</c><00:22:01.259><c> made</c><00:22:01.559><c> up</c><00:22:01.799><c> of</c><00:22:02.119><c> Jew</c><00:22:02.440><c> and</c><00:22:03.000><c> Gentile.</c>

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:06.759
And<00:22:04.759><c> the</c><00:22:05.000><c> subtle</c><00:22:05.279><c> point</c><00:22:05.640><c> is,</c><00:22:06.000><c> brothers</c><00:22:06.140><c> and</c><00:22:06.319><c> sisters,</c>

00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:10.140
that<00:22:07.319><c> God,</c><00:22:07.819><c> at</c><00:22:08.099><c> the</c><00:22:08.259><c> moment</c><00:22:08.519><c> of</c><00:22:08.779><c> Paul's</c><00:22:09.220><c> writing,</c>

00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:16.259
was<00:22:11.039><c> bearing</c><00:22:11.460><c> patiently</c><00:22:12.079><c> with</c><00:22:12.400><c> Israel</c><00:22:13.000><c> to</c><00:22:14.599><c> save</c><00:22:14.880><c> some</c><00:22:15.140><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:20.019
They<00:22:17.940><c> had</c><00:22:18.180><c> hardened</c><00:22:18.380><c> themselves</c><00:22:18.859><c> in</c><00:22:19.200><c> sin.</c>

00:22:20.859 --> 00:22:23.059
And<00:22:21.039><c> now</c><00:22:21.279><c> he's</c><00:22:21.500><c> bearing</c><00:22:21.819><c> patiently</c><00:22:22.319><c> with</c><00:22:22.619><c> them</c>

00:22:23.059 --> 00:22:25.339
as<00:22:23.480><c> he</c><00:22:23.720><c> sends</c><00:22:23.880><c> that</c><00:22:24.180><c> message</c><00:22:24.480><c> out</c><00:22:24.599><c> to</c><00:22:24.759><c> the</c><00:22:24.880><c> Gentiles</c>

00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:27.700
to<00:22:25.539><c> respond</c><00:22:25.960><c> to</c><00:22:26.259><c> their</c><00:22:26.619><c> hope.</c>

00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:30.059
And<00:22:28.819><c> the</c><00:22:29.079><c> tables</c><00:22:29.400><c> are</c><00:22:29.740><c> turned.</c>

00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:32.319
And<00:22:30.559><c> once</c><00:22:30.859><c> again,</c><00:22:31.339><c> it's</c><00:22:31.500><c> a</c><00:22:31.519><c> demonstration</c>

00:22:32.460 --> 00:22:34.779
of<00:22:33.059><c> the</c><00:22:33.319><c> irresistible</c><00:22:34.039><c> will</c><00:22:34.180><c> of</c><00:22:34.400><c> God,</c>

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:38.900
whether<00:22:35.160><c> it's</c><00:22:36.099><c> waiting</c><00:22:36.099><c> with</c><00:22:37.039><c> hardened</c><00:22:37.420><c> Gentiles</c><00:22:37.960><c> for</c><00:22:38.099><c> Israel's</c><00:22:38.740><c> sake</c>

00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:41.980
or<00:22:39.319><c> whether</c><00:22:39.440><c> it's</c><00:22:39.660><c> waiting</c><00:22:39.940><c> with</c><00:22:40.339><c> hardened</c><00:22:40.680><c> Jews</c><00:22:41.079><c> for</c><00:22:41.279><c> Gentile's</c><00:22:41.880><c> sake.</c>

00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:42.799
It<00:22:42.180><c> don't</c><00:22:42.319><c> matter.</c>

00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:46.240
God's<00:22:43.519><c> irresistible</c><00:22:44.259><c> will</c><00:22:44.640><c> will</c><00:22:45.000><c> go</c><00:22:45.299><c> on.</c>

00:22:46.259 --> 00:22:47.480
No<00:22:46.519><c> man</c><00:22:46.619><c> will</c><00:22:46.859><c> change</c><00:22:47.240><c> that.</c>

00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:49.779
He'll<00:22:48.059><c> wait</c><00:22:48.319><c> for</c><00:22:48.519><c> both</c><00:22:48.779><c> classes.</c>

00:22:50.099 --> 00:22:54.140
And<00:22:50.180><c> he'll</c><00:22:50.380><c> develop</c><00:22:50.779><c> from</c><00:22:51.140><c> both</c><00:22:51.460><c> classes</c><00:22:52.000><c> his</c><00:22:52.740><c> little</c><00:22:53.059><c> selection,</c>

00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:56.119
the<00:22:54.980><c> selection</c><00:22:55.380><c> that</c><00:22:55.599><c> he</c><00:22:55.859><c> wants.</c>

00:22:56.140 --> 00:22:58.319
And<00:22:56.279><c> he'll</c><00:22:56.519><c> develop</c><00:22:56.859><c> them</c><00:22:57.119><c> carefully</c><00:22:57.579><c> and</c><00:22:57.920><c> wonderfully</c>

00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:00.579
as<00:22:59.000><c> vessels</c><00:22:59.279><c> of</c><00:22:59.460><c> his</c><00:22:59.680><c> mercy.</c>

00:23:01.059 --> 00:23:03.740
Now,<00:23:01.279><c> we</c><00:23:01.420><c> come</c><00:23:01.559><c> to</c><00:23:01.720><c> an</c><00:23:01.980><c> extremely</c><00:23:02.720><c> interesting</c><00:23:03.420><c> section.</c>

00:23:03.740 --> 00:23:07.220
I<00:23:03.960><c> always</c><00:23:04.299><c> like</c><00:23:04.539><c> these</c><00:23:04.799><c> sections</c><00:23:05.099><c> that</c><00:23:05.400><c> deal</c><00:23:05.759><c> with</c><00:23:06.119><c> the</c><00:23:06.359><c> prophet.</c>

00:23:07.660 --> 00:23:09.279
Because,<00:23:07.700><c> you</c><00:23:07.759><c> know,</c><00:23:08.000><c> Paul</c><00:23:08.220><c> makes</c><00:23:08.559><c> his</c><00:23:08.839><c> statement,</c>

00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:11.240
and<00:23:09.759><c> then</c><00:23:09.900><c> he</c><00:23:10.140><c> demonstrates</c><00:23:10.599><c> it</c><00:23:10.740><c> in</c><00:23:10.839><c> the</c><00:23:11.079><c> prophet.</c>

00:23:11.380 --> 00:23:12.779
Now,<00:23:11.519><c> what</c><00:23:11.759><c> is</c><00:23:11.980><c> the</c><00:23:12.079><c> point</c><00:23:12.220><c> he's</c><00:23:12.359><c> going</c><00:23:12.519><c> to</c><00:23:12.660><c> make?</c>

00:23:12.859 --> 00:23:14.299
Here's<00:23:13.119><c> the</c><00:23:13.400><c> point.</c>

00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:19.160
That<00:23:14.720><c> not</c><00:23:15.140><c> all</c><00:23:15.420><c> Jews</c><00:23:15.680><c> will</c><00:23:15.940><c> be</c><00:23:16.220><c> saved,</c><00:23:17.079><c> and</c><00:23:17.380><c> some</c><00:23:17.720><c> Gentiles</c><00:23:18.279><c> will.</c>

00:23:19.700 --> 00:23:21.640
Now,<00:23:19.960><c> that's</c><00:23:20.079><c> what</c><00:23:20.180><c> they</c><00:23:20.380><c> didn't</c><00:23:20.559><c> believe,</c><00:23:21.079><c> either</c><00:23:21.319><c> one</c><00:23:21.519><c> of</c>

00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:22.740
those<00:23:21.940><c> things.</c>

00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:26.380
Now,<00:23:23.799><c> this</c><00:23:23.980><c> is</c><00:23:24.240><c> an</c><00:23:24.500><c> intensely</c><00:23:24.920><c> interesting</c><00:23:25.500><c> section.</c>

00:23:27.259 --> 00:23:29.099
It<00:23:27.440><c> really</c><00:23:27.960><c> is.</c>

00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:31.660
Now,<00:23:30.299><c> that's</c><00:23:30.680><c> what</c><00:23:30.740><c> I've</c><00:23:30.940><c> just</c><00:23:31.079><c> been</c><00:23:31.319><c> saying.</c>

00:23:31.660 --> 00:23:36.799
God's<00:23:32.859><c> plan</c><00:23:33.339><c> is</c><00:23:33.839><c> to</c><00:23:34.160><c> include</c><00:23:34.480><c> a</c><00:23:35.019><c> selection</c><00:23:35.480><c> of</c><00:23:35.819><c> Jews</c><00:23:36.099><c> and</c><00:23:36.460><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:40.539
I<00:23:37.039><c> use</c><00:23:37.319><c> the</c><00:23:37.400><c> word</c><00:23:37.700><c> selection</c><00:23:38.380><c> because</c><00:23:38.859><c> it's</c><00:23:39.160><c> his</c><00:23:39.440><c> selection.</c>

00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:44.400
And<00:23:41.400><c> there</c><00:23:41.559><c> are</c><00:23:41.819><c> four</c><00:23:42.059><c> passages</c><00:23:42.619><c> to</c><00:23:43.019><c> prove</c><00:23:43.299><c> this.</c>

00:23:44.980 --> 00:23:47.799
The<00:23:45.140><c> first</c><00:23:45.420><c> two,</c><00:23:45.740><c> taken</c><00:23:46.059><c> from</c><00:23:46.279><c> Hosea,</c>

00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.579
prove<00:23:48.480><c> that</c><00:23:48.619><c> there</c><00:23:48.799><c> will</c><00:23:49.019><c> be</c><00:23:49.339><c> a</c><00:23:49.720><c> call</c><00:23:49.980><c> of</c><00:23:50.259><c> the</c><00:23:50.460><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:23:51.779 --> 00:23:54.140
The<00:23:51.980><c> Gentiles</c><00:23:52.480><c> will</c><00:23:52.660><c> be</c><00:23:52.839><c> called</c><00:23:53.039><c> to</c><00:23:53.319><c> truth.</c>

00:23:54.859 --> 00:23:57.420
The<00:23:55.180><c> second</c><00:23:55.460><c> two,</c><00:23:55.759><c> taken</c><00:23:56.059><c> from</c><00:23:56.299><c> Isaiah,</c>

00:23:57.619 --> 00:24:01.799
both<00:23:58.019><c> of</c><00:23:58.299><c> them</c><00:23:58.440><c> will</c><00:23:58.700><c> tell</c><00:23:58.940><c> us</c><00:23:59.539><c> that</c><00:23:59.799><c> only</c><00:24:00.119><c> a</c><00:24:00.519><c> remnant</c><00:24:00.960><c> of</c><00:24:01.220><c> Israel</c><00:24:01.500><c> will</c>

00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:02.859
be<00:24:01.980><c> saved.</c>

00:24:03.500 --> 00:24:05.500
Now,<00:24:03.819><c> it's</c><00:24:04.059><c> equally</c><00:24:04.359><c> true,</c><00:24:04.819><c> brethren</c><00:24:05.019><c> and</c><00:24:05.339><c> sisters,</c>

00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:07.440
that<00:24:05.740><c> only</c><00:24:06.059><c> a</c><00:24:06.200><c> remnant</c><00:24:06.380><c> of</c><00:24:06.519><c> the</c><00:24:06.640><c> Gentiles</c><00:24:07.019><c> will</c><00:24:07.180><c> be</c><00:24:07.359><c> saved.</c>

00:24:07.460 --> 00:24:09.420
But<00:24:07.599><c> he</c><00:24:07.660><c> doesn't</c><00:24:07.980><c> say</c><00:24:08.220><c> it</c><00:24:08.359><c> like</c><00:24:08.640><c> that.</c>

00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:10.900
Because<00:24:09.940><c> that's</c><00:24:10.160><c> not</c><00:24:10.319><c> his</c><00:24:10.579><c> point.</c>

00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:13.940
Because<00:24:11.500><c> they</c><00:24:11.700><c> didn't</c><00:24:11.940><c> believe</c><00:24:12.319><c> that</c><00:24:12.599><c> any</c><00:24:12.880><c> Gentiles</c><00:24:13.339><c> will</c><00:24:13.500><c> be</c><00:24:13.680><c> saved.</c>

00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:15.160
Well,<00:24:14.200><c> he</c><00:24:14.279><c> said</c><00:24:14.400><c> there</c><00:24:14.599><c> will</c><00:24:14.880><c> be.</c>

00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:17.380
But<00:24:15.539><c> they</c><00:24:15.819><c> believe</c><00:24:16.079><c> that</c><00:24:16.500><c> all</c><00:24:16.839><c> Israel</c><00:24:17.000><c> will</c><00:24:17.160><c> be</c><00:24:17.319><c> saved.</c>

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:19.140
But<00:24:17.500><c> he</c><00:24:17.539><c> said,</c><00:24:17.799><c> oh,</c><00:24:18.000><c> no,</c><00:24:18.200><c> there</c><00:24:18.319><c> will</c><00:24:18.339><c> only</c><00:24:18.480><c> be</c><00:24:18.680><c> a</c><00:24:18.819><c> remnant.</c>

00:24:19.220 --> 00:24:20.759
So<00:24:19.380><c> that's</c><00:24:19.680><c> the</c><00:24:19.700><c> way</c><00:24:19.859><c> that</c><00:24:20.019><c> he</c><00:24:20.099><c> does</c><00:24:20.400><c> it.</c>

00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:22.500
Do<00:24:21.140><c> you</c><00:24:21.259><c> follow</c><00:24:21.500><c> that?</c>

00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:24.900
He<00:24:23.259><c> doesn't</c><00:24:23.559><c> follow</c><00:24:23.819><c> that.</c>

00:24:25.539 --> 00:24:27.119
If<00:24:25.940><c> it</c><00:24:26.140><c> was</c><00:24:26.299><c> left</c><00:24:26.539><c> up</c><00:24:26.640><c> to</c><00:24:26.720><c> you</c><00:24:26.900><c> and</c><00:24:27.000><c> I,</c>

00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:29.740
we'd<00:24:27.319><c> say</c><00:24:27.460><c> that</c><00:24:27.599><c> God</c><00:24:27.759><c> is</c><00:24:27.980><c> calling</c><00:24:28.200><c> some</c><00:24:28.660><c> Jews</c><00:24:28.920><c> and</c><00:24:29.099><c> some</c><00:24:29.519><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:24:29.819 --> 00:24:30.420
That's<00:24:30.119><c> true.</c>

00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:31.640
And<00:24:30.619><c> that's</c><00:24:30.680><c> what</c><00:24:30.819><c> those</c><00:24:31.059><c> verses</c><00:24:31.259><c> are</c><00:24:31.460><c> saying.</c>

00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:34.460
But<00:24:31.839><c> the</c><00:24:32.019><c> emphasis</c><00:24:32.319><c> is</c><00:24:32.900><c> that</c><00:24:33.200><c> some</c><00:24:33.480><c> Gentiles</c><00:24:33.880><c> will</c><00:24:34.039><c> be</c><00:24:34.240><c> called</c>

00:24:34.460 --> 00:24:36.839
and<00:24:35.000><c> not</c><00:24:35.579><c> all</c><00:24:35.819><c> Jews.</c>

00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:38.180
Because<00:24:37.240><c> that's</c><00:24:37.460><c> what</c><00:24:37.579><c> they</c><00:24:37.859><c> believe.</c>

00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:40.900
That<00:24:38.680><c> no</c><00:24:38.980><c> Gentiles</c><00:24:39.339><c> will</c><00:24:39.480><c> be</c><00:24:39.700><c> called</c><00:24:40.019><c> and</c><00:24:40.319><c> all</c><00:24:40.500><c> Israel</c><00:24:40.740><c> will</c>

00:24:40.900 --> 00:24:41.279
be<00:24:41.119><c> saved.</c>

00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:42.819
But<00:24:41.579><c> that's</c><00:24:41.819><c> not</c><00:24:42.059><c> so.</c>

00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:44.380
So<00:24:43.039><c> that's</c><00:24:43.339><c> the</c><00:24:43.539><c> references</c><00:24:43.779><c> that</c><00:24:43.980><c> he</c><00:24:44.140><c> quotes.</c>

00:24:44.500 --> 00:24:46.779
And<00:24:44.619><c> there's</c><00:24:44.880><c> the</c><00:24:45.039><c> reason</c><00:24:45.220><c> why</c><00:24:45.420><c> he</c><00:24:45.660><c> quotes</c><00:24:45.900><c> them.</c>

00:24:47.500 --> 00:24:50.160
And<00:24:47.640><c> we're</c><00:24:47.779><c> going</c><00:24:47.880><c> to</c><00:24:48.039><c> see,</c><00:24:49.119><c> oh,</c><00:24:49.319><c> this</c><00:24:49.480><c> is</c><00:24:49.660><c> really</c><00:24:49.900><c> great.</c>

00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:50.980
It<00:24:50.500><c> really</c><00:24:50.859><c> is.</c>

00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:52.799
Now,<00:24:51.160><c> let's</c><00:24:51.380><c> have</c><00:24:51.519><c> a</c><00:24:51.599><c> look</c><00:24:51.700><c> at</c><00:24:51.819><c> those</c><00:24:52.119><c> references</c><00:24:52.460><c> and</c><00:24:52.640><c> look</c>

00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:53.500
what<00:24:52.960><c> they</c><00:24:53.240><c> say.</c>

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:54.940
And<00:24:53.660><c> then</c><00:24:53.819><c> we're</c><00:24:54.000><c> going</c><00:24:54.039><c> to</c><00:24:54.200><c> learn</c><00:24:54.380><c> something</c><00:24:54.619><c> tonight,</c>

00:24:55.140 --> 00:24:58.079
brothers<00:24:55.200><c> and</c><00:24:55.359><c> sisters,</c><00:24:55.740><c> that</c><00:24:55.819><c> is</c><00:24:56.240><c> really,</c><00:24:57.200><c> really</c><00:24:57.819><c> great.</c>

00:24:58.099 --> 00:24:59.140
It<00:24:58.480><c> really</c><00:24:58.880><c> is.</c>

00:24:59.380 --> 00:25:01.740
Because<00:24:59.819><c> here</c><00:25:00.140><c> is</c><00:25:00.339><c> a</c><00:25:00.480><c> use</c><00:25:00.640><c> of</c><00:25:00.880><c> scripture</c><00:25:01.099><c> which</c><00:25:01.279><c> is</c>

00:25:01.740 --> 00:25:03.180
absolutely<00:25:02.140><c> wonderful.</c>

00:25:04.539 --> 00:25:06.799
Now,<00:25:05.059><c> we</c><00:25:05.339><c> come</c><00:25:05.500><c> to</c><00:25:05.619><c> these</c><00:25:05.859><c> references.</c>

00:25:06.940 --> 00:25:10.759
The<00:25:07.279><c> first</c><00:25:07.579><c> of</c><00:25:07.779><c> them</c><00:25:07.980><c> is</c><00:25:08.259><c> in</c><00:25:08.440><c> Hosea</c><00:25:08.819><c> 2</c><00:25:09.220><c> and</c><00:25:09.420><c> verse</c><00:25:09.660><c> 23.</c>

00:25:12.500 --> 00:25:14.920
We<00:25:12.940><c> don't</c><00:25:13.099><c> really</c><00:25:13.279><c> have</c><00:25:13.500><c> to</c><00:25:13.680><c> turn</c><00:25:13.759><c> it</c><00:25:13.920><c> up</c><00:25:14.059><c> because</c><00:25:14.299><c> it's</c><00:25:14.660><c> here</c>

00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:15.839
in<00:25:15.500><c> Romans.</c>

00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:18.839
But<00:25:16.019><c> we</c><00:25:16.200><c> will</c><00:25:16.319><c> go</c><00:25:16.500><c> back</c><00:25:16.660><c> to</c><00:25:16.799><c> Hosea</c><00:25:17.160><c> 2</c><00:25:17.380><c> and</c><00:25:17.559><c> 23.</c>

00:25:36.619 --> 00:25:40.259
Now,<00:25:37.160><c> he</c><00:25:37.279><c> says</c><00:25:37.579><c> in</c><00:25:37.819><c> Hosea</c><00:25:38.180><c> 2</c><00:25:38.480><c> and</c><00:25:38.720><c> verse</c><00:25:38.900><c> 23,</c>

00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:42.960
And<00:25:40.980><c> I</c><00:25:41.119><c> will</c><00:25:41.400><c> sow</c><00:25:41.660><c> her</c><00:25:41.980><c> unto</c><00:25:42.259><c> me</c><00:25:42.480><c> in</c><00:25:42.599><c> the</c><00:25:42.779><c> earth,</c>

00:25:42.980 --> 00:25:46.539
and<00:25:43.079><c> I</c><00:25:43.259><c> will</c><00:25:43.440><c> have</c><00:25:43.700><c> mercy</c><00:25:44.099><c> upon</c><00:25:44.420><c> her</c><00:25:44.720><c> that</c><00:25:44.859><c> had</c><00:25:45.099><c> not</c><00:25:45.339><c> obtained</c><00:25:45.720><c> mercy.</c>

00:25:46.819 --> 00:25:49.839
And<00:25:47.119><c> I</c><00:25:47.279><c> will</c><00:25:47.460><c> say</c><00:25:47.700><c> to</c><00:25:47.799><c> them</c><00:25:48.019><c> which</c><00:25:48.200><c> were</c><00:25:48.440><c> not</c><00:25:48.660><c> my</c><00:25:48.960><c> people,</c><00:25:49.720><c> Thou</c>

00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:51.180
art<00:25:50.099><c> my</c><00:25:50.400><c> people,</c>

00:25:51.180 --> 00:25:54.940
and<00:25:51.660><c> they</c><00:25:51.920><c> shall</c><00:25:52.119><c> say,</c><00:25:53.480><c> Thou</c><00:25:53.480><c> art</c><00:25:53.740><c> my</c><00:25:54.099><c> God.</c>

00:25:55.099 --> 00:25:58.019
Now,<00:25:55.420><c> reading</c><00:25:55.500><c> from</c><00:25:55.779><c> Romans,</c><00:25:56.279><c> it</c><00:25:56.339><c> says</c><00:25:56.759><c> in</c><00:25:57.220><c> verse</c><00:25:57.440><c> 25,</c>

00:25:58.059 --> 00:26:00.759
As<00:25:58.200><c> also</c><00:25:58.500><c> he</c><00:25:58.680><c> said</c><00:25:58.819><c> in</c><00:25:59.059><c> Hosea,</c><00:25:59.440><c> I</c><00:25:59.559><c> will</c><00:25:59.819><c> call</c><00:26:00.059><c> them</c><00:26:00.240><c> my</c><00:26:00.539><c> people</c>

00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.380
which<00:26:00.940><c> were</c><00:26:01.160><c> not</c><00:26:01.380><c> my</c><00:26:01.680><c> people,</c><00:26:02.000><c> and</c><00:26:02.160><c> her</c><00:26:02.380><c> beloved</c><00:26:02.740><c> which</c><00:26:03.119><c> was</c>

00:26:03.380 --> 00:26:04.619
not<00:26:03.740><c> beloved.</c>

00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:09.660
That's<00:26:05.259><c> basically</c><00:26:05.660><c> a</c><00:26:05.880><c> quotation</c><00:26:06.339><c> from</c><00:26:06.700><c> Hosea</c><00:26:07.180><c> 2</c><00:26:07.640><c> and</c><00:26:08.039><c> verse</c><00:26:08.299><c> 23.</c>

00:26:10.539 --> 00:26:14.420
So<00:26:10.720><c> what</c><00:26:11.059><c> he's</c><00:26:11.420><c> saying,</c><00:26:11.579><c> in</c><00:26:11.759><c> effect,</c><00:26:12.119><c> that</c><00:26:12.299><c> there</c><00:26:12.460><c> were</c><00:26:13.059><c> people</c><00:26:13.599><c> over</c><00:26:14.079><c> there</c>

00:26:14.420 --> 00:26:16.059
who<00:26:14.579><c> he</c><00:26:14.779><c> says</c><00:26:14.900><c> were</c><00:26:15.200><c> not</c><00:26:15.460><c> my</c><00:26:15.779><c> people.</c>

00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:18.839
And<00:26:16.240><c> he's</c><00:26:16.460><c> going</c><00:26:16.559><c> to</c><00:26:16.880><c> call</c><00:26:17.059><c> them</c><00:26:17.400><c> one</c><00:26:17.700><c> day</c><00:26:18.039><c> my</c><00:26:18.359><c> people.</c>

00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:21.920
And<00:26:19.720><c> they're</c><00:26:20.180><c> going</c><00:26:20.299><c> to</c><00:26:20.400><c> be</c><00:26:20.599><c> called</c><00:26:20.740><c> his</c><00:26:21.000><c> God.</c>

00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:25.599
And<00:26:22.940><c> if</c><00:26:23.099><c> we</c><00:26:23.259><c> knew</c><00:26:23.480><c> nothing</c><00:26:23.759><c> more</c><00:26:24.240><c> about</c><00:26:24.640><c> Hosea</c><00:26:25.079><c> than</c><00:26:25.319><c> that,</c>

00:26:25.660 --> 00:26:28.160
that<00:26:25.779><c> would</c><00:26:26.000><c> cause</c><00:26:26.299><c> no</c><00:26:26.599><c> problem</c><00:26:27.000><c> because</c><00:26:27.539><c> we'd</c><00:26:27.960><c> say,</c>

00:26:28.259 --> 00:26:31.099
well,<00:26:28.359><c> he's</c><00:26:28.559><c> talking</c><00:26:28.740><c> about</c><00:26:28.960><c> the</c><00:26:29.140><c> Gentiles</c><00:26:29.559><c> who</c><00:26:29.740><c> are</c><00:26:30.019><c> not</c><00:26:30.259><c> my</c><00:26:30.539><c> people,</c>

00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:33.380
and<00:26:31.660><c> one</c><00:26:31.940><c> day</c><00:26:32.099><c> they're</c><00:26:32.220><c> going</c><00:26:32.319><c> to</c><00:26:32.460><c> become</c><00:26:32.740><c> God's</c><00:26:33.220><c> people.</c>

00:26:33.380 --> 00:26:34.299
That's<00:26:33.700><c> very</c><00:26:33.960><c> simple.</c>

00:26:34.779 --> 00:26:38.839
But<00:26:34.960><c> brothers</c><00:26:35.160><c> and</c><00:26:35.420><c> sisters,</c><00:26:35.900><c> Hosea</c><00:26:36.200><c> is</c><00:26:36.539><c> not</c><00:26:36.880><c> talking</c><00:26:37.299><c> about</c><00:26:37.680><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:41.619
He's<00:26:40.759><c> talking</c><00:26:40.900><c> about</c><00:26:41.180><c> Israel.</c>

00:26:42.059 --> 00:26:45.359
And<00:26:42.539><c> there</c><00:26:42.960><c> is</c><00:26:43.319><c> no</c><00:26:43.759><c> doubt</c><00:26:44.059><c> about</c><00:26:44.400><c> that.</c>

00:26:45.500 --> 00:26:48.799
There's<00:26:46.039><c> no</c><00:26:46.579><c> way</c><00:26:47.059><c> that</c><00:26:47.299><c> you</c><00:26:47.400><c> could</c><00:26:47.599><c> read</c><00:26:47.880><c> Hosea</c><00:26:48.339><c> 2</c>

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:51.519
and<00:26:49.000><c> apply</c><00:26:49.259><c> that</c><00:26:49.440><c> to</c><00:26:49.599><c> Gentiles,</c><00:26:50.119><c> but</c><00:26:50.359><c> Paul</c><00:26:50.640><c> does.</c>

00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:56.539
Now,<00:26:52.779><c> that's</c><00:26:53.059><c> where</c><00:26:53.299><c> the</c><00:26:54.079><c> remarkable,</c><00:26:55.279><c> wonderful</c><00:26:55.920><c> principle</c>

00:26:56.539 --> 00:26:57.579
comes<00:26:57.099><c> in</c><00:26:57.339><c> here</c>

00:26:57.579 --> 00:27:00.700
for<00:26:58.039><c> a</c><00:26:58.259><c> reason,</c><00:26:58.720><c> and</c><00:26:58.880><c> look</c><00:26:59.200><c> how</c><00:26:59.779><c> he</c><00:27:00.059><c> develops</c><00:27:00.359><c> this.</c>

00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:02.480
I<00:27:01.299><c> hope</c><00:27:01.599><c> you</c><00:27:01.920><c> can</c><00:27:02.079><c> follow</c><00:27:02.339><c> me.</c>

00:27:02.619 --> 00:27:06.039
If<00:27:02.619><c> you</c><00:27:02.779><c> don't,</c><00:27:03.099><c> you</c><00:27:03.279><c> stop</c><00:27:03.420><c> me</c><00:27:03.660><c> because</c><00:27:04.119><c> this</c><00:27:04.779><c> is</c><00:27:05.180><c> truly</c><00:27:05.599><c> wonderful</c>

00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:07.019
what<00:27:06.180><c> he's</c><00:27:06.420><c> doing</c><00:27:06.579><c> here.</c>

00:27:07.019 --> 00:27:10.779
He<00:27:07.539><c> is</c><00:27:07.799><c> taking</c><00:27:08.299><c> a</c><00:27:09.039><c> Jewish</c><00:27:09.500><c> reference</c>

00:27:11.900 --> 00:27:14.660
to<00:27:12.539><c> prove</c><00:27:12.799><c> that</c><00:27:13.059><c> Gentiles</c><00:27:13.460><c> would</c><00:27:13.640><c> be</c><00:27:13.839><c> called.</c>

00:27:15.180 --> 00:27:17.640
Now,<00:27:15.519><c> how</c><00:27:15.700><c> can</c><00:27:15.880><c> he</c><00:27:16.000><c> possibly</c><00:27:16.400><c> do</c><00:27:16.680><c> that?</c>

00:27:18.980 --> 00:27:20.700
How<00:27:19.220><c> could</c><00:27:19.420><c> he</c><00:27:19.640><c> possibly</c><00:27:20.019><c> do</c><00:27:20.339><c> that?</c>

00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:23.559
Well,<00:27:21.200><c> you</c><00:27:21.359><c> see,</c><00:27:21.740><c> he</c><00:27:21.859><c> does</c><00:27:22.019><c> it</c><00:27:22.240><c> like</c><00:27:22.440><c> this.</c>

00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:26.700
You<00:27:24.839><c> watch</c><00:27:25.059><c> my</c><00:27:25.380><c> hand</c><00:27:26.119><c> here.</c>

00:27:27.180 --> 00:27:30.019
The<00:27:27.420><c> Jew</c><00:27:27.680><c> was</c><00:27:28.000><c> called</c><00:27:28.240><c> God's</c><00:27:28.740><c> people,</c>

00:27:30.299 --> 00:27:33.519
and<00:27:30.900><c> the</c><00:27:31.079><c> Gentiles</c><00:27:31.519><c> were</c><00:27:31.819><c> not</c><00:27:32.140><c> God's</c><00:27:32.700><c> people.</c>

00:27:34.339 --> 00:27:37.000
Now,<00:27:34.880><c> the</c><00:27:35.039><c> Jew</c><00:27:35.200><c> was</c><00:27:35.880><c> temporarily</c><00:27:36.279><c> set</c><00:27:36.599><c> aside,</c>

00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:39.680
and<00:27:37.180><c> he</c><00:27:37.440><c> put</c><00:27:37.720><c> over</c><00:27:37.960><c> there,</c><00:27:38.319><c> and</c><00:27:38.440><c> God</c><00:27:38.680><c> says,</c>

00:27:40.700 --> 00:27:42.000
you're<00:27:41.200><c> not</c><00:27:41.460><c> my</c><00:27:41.740><c> people.</c>

00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:44.880
Well,<00:27:42.500><c> he's</c><00:27:42.720><c> the</c><00:27:42.900><c> same</c><00:27:43.039><c> as</c><00:27:43.240><c> that</c><00:27:43.359><c> one,</c><00:27:43.500><c> isn't</c><00:27:43.640><c> he?</c>

00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:46.380
He<00:27:45.700><c> put</c><00:27:45.819><c> them</c><00:27:46.000><c> together.</c>

00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:50.680

00:28:24.779 --> 00:28:28.119
He<00:28:25.160><c> knew</c><00:28:25.380><c> that</c><00:28:25.640><c> reference</c><00:28:25.900><c> in</c><00:28:26.059><c> Hosea</c><00:28:26.579><c> was</c><00:28:26.940><c> to</c><00:28:27.740><c> the</c><00:28:27.900><c> Jew.</c>

00:28:28.440 --> 00:28:29.680
There's<00:28:28.700><c> no</c><00:28:29.039><c> doubt</c><00:28:29.319><c> about</c><00:28:29.579><c> it.</c>

00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.859
It<00:28:31.079><c> speaks</c><00:28:31.279><c> about</c><00:28:31.400><c> them</c><00:28:31.579><c> going</c><00:28:31.920><c> wrong,</c><00:28:32.680><c> becoming</c><00:28:32.960><c> not</c><00:28:33.299><c> God's</c><00:28:33.700><c> people,</c>

00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:35.359
and<00:28:34.059><c> then</c><00:28:34.180><c> God's</c><00:28:34.559><c> mercy</c><00:28:34.740><c> being</c><00:28:35.000><c> shown</c><00:28:35.220><c> to</c><00:28:35.279><c> them</c>

00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:36.720

00:28:36.980 --> 00:28:39.279
But<00:28:37.200><c> he</c><00:28:37.359><c> quotes</c><00:28:37.599><c> that</c><00:28:37.799><c> to</c><00:28:37.980><c> show</c><00:28:38.079><c> that</c><00:28:38.319><c> Gentiles</c><00:28:38.759><c> would</c><00:28:38.940><c> be</c><00:28:39.140><c> called.</c>

00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:40.299
I'll<00:28:39.680><c> do</c><00:28:39.839><c> it</c><00:28:40.000><c> again.</c>

00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:43.099
There's<00:28:40.960><c> God's</c><00:28:41.400><c> people,</c><00:28:41.640><c> and</c><00:28:41.779><c> there's</c><00:28:42.180><c> not</c><00:28:42.460><c> God's</c><00:28:42.900><c> people.</c>

00:28:43.299 --> 00:28:46.220
Now<00:28:43.559><c> these</c><00:28:43.819><c> become</c><00:28:44.259><c> cast</c><00:28:44.799><c> off,</c><00:28:45.220><c> not</c><00:28:45.519><c> God's</c><00:28:46.000><c> people.</c>

00:28:46.500 --> 00:28:47.900
Now<00:28:46.680><c> they're</c><00:28:46.900><c> the</c><00:28:47.079><c> same.</c>

00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:50.180
If<00:28:48.500><c> he</c><00:28:48.579><c> can</c><00:28:48.740><c> bring</c><00:28:48.900><c> them</c><00:28:49.059><c> over</c><00:28:49.359><c> here</c><00:28:49.599><c> and</c><00:28:49.839><c> back</c><00:28:50.000><c> again</c>

00:28:52.180 --> 00:28:54.119
the<00:28:52.480><c> principle</c><00:28:52.819><c> is</c><00:28:53.079><c> established</c><00:28:53.400><c> that</c><00:28:53.519><c> he</c><00:28:53.579><c> can</c><00:28:53.700><c> do</c><00:28:53.839><c> it</c><00:28:53.940><c> with</c>

00:28:54.119 --> 00:28:55.380
them<00:28:54.359><c> too,</c>

00:28:55.819 --> 00:28:59.380
because<00:28:56.220><c> there</c><00:28:56.420><c> was</c><00:28:56.579><c> a</c><00:28:56.740><c> time</c><00:28:56.880><c> when</c><00:28:57.039><c> they</c><00:28:57.160><c> were</c><00:28:57.380><c> exactly</c><00:28:57.839><c> the</c><00:28:58.119><c> same.</c>

00:29:00.579 --> 00:29:02.779
So<00:29:00.720><c> if</c><00:29:00.819><c> they</c><00:29:01.019><c> come,</c><00:29:01.400><c> so</c><00:29:01.700><c> can</c><00:29:01.920><c> they.</c>

00:29:03.299 --> 00:29:04.759
That's<00:29:03.700><c> his</c><00:29:03.940><c> point.</c>

00:29:04.779 --> 00:29:06.319
There's<00:29:04.920><c> two</c><00:29:05.140><c> things</c><00:29:05.440><c> we're</c><00:29:05.579><c> going</c><00:29:05.680><c> to</c><00:29:05.799><c> tell</c><00:29:05.900><c> you</c><00:29:06.039><c> about</c><00:29:06.160><c> that</c>

00:29:07.019 --> 00:29:09.660

00:29:09.859 --> 00:29:11.680

00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:14.740
It's<00:29:14.039><c> absolutely</c><00:29:14.380><c> beautiful.</c>

00:29:14.819 --> 00:29:17.059
But<00:29:14.980><c> before</c><00:29:15.200><c> we</c><00:29:15.380><c> do</c><00:29:15.519><c> that,</c><00:29:15.640><c> just</c><00:29:15.819><c> keep</c><00:29:16.019><c> your</c><00:29:16.180><c> hand</c><00:29:16.299><c> in</c><00:29:16.400><c> Hosea.</c>

00:30:31.180 --> 00:30:31.940
That's<00:30:31.519><c> the</c><00:30:31.740><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:33.759
And<00:30:32.220><c> yet</c><00:30:32.380><c> that's</c><00:30:32.839><c> Hosea.</c>

00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:36.779
So<00:30:34.259><c> there's</c><00:30:34.539><c> your</c><00:30:34.779><c> principle</c><00:30:35.339><c> established.</c>

00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:38.279
Right?

00:30:38.539 --> 00:30:40.700
There's<00:30:38.859><c> your</c><00:30:39.059><c> principle</c><00:30:39.539><c> established.</c>

00:30:41.059 --> 00:30:43.539
Now<00:30:41.400><c> why</c><00:30:41.660><c> does</c><00:30:41.880><c> Paul</c><00:30:42.079><c> do</c><00:30:42.259><c> it</c><00:30:42.420><c> that</c><00:30:42.640><c> way?</c>

00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:50.319
Why<00:30:46.319><c> doesn't</c><00:30:46.720><c> he</c><00:30:47.400><c> take</c><00:30:48.099><c> one</c><00:30:48.460><c> of</c><00:30:48.700><c> the</c><00:30:49.220><c> hundreds</c><00:30:49.680><c> of</c><00:30:50.000><c> references</c>

00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:53.000
which<00:30:50.920><c> clearly</c><00:30:51.480><c> says</c><00:30:51.880><c> that</c><00:30:52.140><c> Gentiles</c><00:30:52.460><c> will</c><00:30:52.660><c> be</c><00:30:52.859><c> taught?</c>

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:55.019
Why<00:30:53.640><c> do</c><00:30:53.819><c> it</c><00:30:53.960><c> that</c><00:30:54.180><c> way?</c>

00:30:55.859 --> 00:31:00.299
You<00:30:55.960><c> could</c><00:30:56.160><c> take</c><00:30:56.319><c> Isaiah</c><00:30:56.740><c> 42,</c><00:30:57.839><c> Isaiah</c><00:30:58.220><c> 52,</c><00:30:59.180><c> Isaiah</c><00:30:59.559><c> 64.</c>

00:31:00.660 --> 00:31:03.019
You<00:31:00.660><c> could</c><00:31:00.920><c> take,</c><00:31:01.299><c> oh,</c><00:31:01.900><c> Zechariah</c><00:31:02.400><c> chapter</c><00:31:02.740><c> 1.</c>

00:31:03.180 --> 00:31:04.799
You<00:31:03.259><c> could</c><00:31:03.460><c> take</c><00:31:03.660><c> a</c><00:31:03.779><c> whole</c><00:31:04.039><c> lot</c><00:31:04.200><c> of</c><00:31:04.400><c> chapters</c>

00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:07.440
to<00:31:05.779><c> show</c><00:31:06.039><c> that</c><00:31:06.240><c> the</c><00:31:06.440><c> Gentiles</c><00:31:06.920><c> will</c><00:31:07.099><c> be</c><00:31:07.299><c> taught.</c>

00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:09.240
It<00:31:08.019><c> plainly</c><00:31:08.579><c> says</c><00:31:08.839><c> that.</c>

00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:12.279
Why<00:31:10.160><c> does</c><00:31:10.440><c> he</c><00:31:10.700><c> do</c><00:31:10.880><c> it</c><00:31:11.160><c> that</c><00:31:11.440><c> way?</c>

00:31:13.380 --> 00:31:15.680
Well,<00:31:13.579><c> here's</c><00:31:13.839><c> your</c><00:31:14.039><c> reason,</c><00:31:14.440><c> brethren</c><00:31:14.599><c> and</c><00:31:14.900><c> sisters.</c>

00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:17.940
The<00:31:16.500><c> point</c><00:31:16.640><c> is</c><00:31:16.920><c> this.</c>

00:31:19.059 --> 00:31:21.559
When<00:31:19.339><c> the</c><00:31:19.619><c> Jew</c><00:31:19.839><c> was</c><00:31:20.039><c> put</c><00:31:20.240><c> over</c><00:31:20.539><c> here,</c>

00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:23.259
let's<00:31:22.240><c> do</c><00:31:22.380><c> it</c><00:31:22.500><c> in</c><00:31:22.619><c> the</c><00:31:22.720><c> transparency.</c>

00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:24.799
Here's<00:31:23.720><c> the</c><00:31:23.859><c> reason.</c>

00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:26.819
It's<00:31:26.160><c> absolutely</c><00:31:26.420><c> beautiful.</c>

00:31:26.980 --> 00:31:28.500
And<00:31:27.039><c> he's</c><00:31:27.200><c> going</c><00:31:27.299><c> to</c><00:31:27.420><c> work</c><00:31:27.539><c> this</c><00:31:27.720><c> the</c><00:31:27.859><c> other</c><00:31:28.019><c> way</c><00:31:28.180><c> in</c><00:31:28.299><c> a</c><00:31:28.380><c> minute.</c>

00:31:28.539 --> 00:31:30.460
He's<00:31:28.640><c> going</c><00:31:28.720><c> to</c><00:31:28.799><c> put</c><00:31:28.900><c> this</c><00:31:29.119><c> in</c><00:31:29.279><c> reverse.</c>

00:31:33.460 --> 00:31:36.940
His<00:31:33.759><c> whole</c><00:31:33.980><c> purpose</c><00:31:34.480><c> in</c><00:31:34.740><c> quoting</c><00:31:35.000><c> Hosea</c><00:31:35.420><c> to</c><00:31:35.640><c> the</c><00:31:35.799><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:40.519
The<00:31:38.200><c> word</c><00:31:38.480><c> am</c><00:31:38.740><c> I</c><00:31:38.880><c> means</c><00:31:39.200><c> my</c><00:31:39.579><c> people.</c>

00:31:41.099 --> 00:31:43.619
The<00:31:41.279><c> Jew</c><00:31:41.440><c> was</c><00:31:41.839><c> am</c><00:31:42.059><c> I,</c><00:31:42.279><c> God's</c><00:31:42.740><c> people,</c><00:31:43.000><c> my</c><00:31:43.279><c> people.</c>

00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:46.160
So<00:31:43.880><c> as</c><00:31:44.099><c> a</c><00:31:44.200><c> Jew,</c><00:31:44.700><c> he</c><00:31:44.839><c> was</c><00:31:45.079><c> God's</c><00:31:45.640><c> person.</c>

00:31:46.619 --> 00:31:47.839
And<00:31:46.839><c> God</c><00:31:47.099><c> said</c><00:31:47.319><c> in</c><00:31:47.480><c> the</c><00:31:47.640><c> law,</c>

00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:50.299
I<00:31:48.059><c> have</c><00:31:48.380><c> separated</c><00:31:48.880><c> you</c><00:31:49.140><c> from</c><00:31:49.480><c> other</c><00:31:49.940><c> people.</c>

00:31:50.299 --> 00:31:53.000
So<00:31:50.500><c> there</c><00:31:50.599><c> were</c><00:31:50.819><c> two</c><00:31:51.099><c> lots</c><00:31:51.339><c> of</c><00:31:51.539><c> people</c><00:31:51.740><c> in</c><00:31:51.920><c> the</c><00:31:52.099><c> earth.</c>

00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:57.359
The<00:31:53.500><c> other</c><00:31:53.720><c> people</c><00:31:54.000><c> were</c><00:31:54.259><c> called</c><00:31:54.779><c> lo</c><00:31:55.160><c> am</c><00:31:55.319><c> I,</c><00:31:56.019><c> no</c><00:31:56.359><c> people.</c>

00:31:57.700 --> 00:31:59.400
And<00:31:57.859><c> he</c><00:31:57.960><c> was</c><00:31:58.180><c> the</c><00:31:58.299><c> Gentile.</c>

00:32:00.099 --> 00:32:03.619
So<00:32:00.220><c> when</c><00:32:00.460><c> the</c><00:32:00.660><c> Jew</c><00:32:00.920><c> was</c><00:32:01.279><c> temporarily</c><00:32:01.700><c> cast</c><00:32:02.119><c> off</c><00:32:02.339><c> by</c><00:32:02.640><c> God,</c>

00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:06.220
when<00:32:04.279><c> he</c><00:32:04.440><c> was</c><00:32:04.599><c> temporarily</c><00:32:05.019><c> cast</c><00:32:05.380><c> off</c><00:32:05.599><c> by</c><00:32:05.880><c> God,</c>

00:32:06.460 --> 00:32:09.700
he<00:32:06.759><c> experienced</c><00:32:07.660><c> rejection</c><00:32:08.220><c> and</c><00:32:08.400><c> he</c><00:32:08.740><c> stood</c><00:32:08.920><c> with</c><00:32:09.180><c> the</c><00:32:09.339><c> Gentile</c>

00:32:09.700 --> 00:32:11.420
and<00:32:09.799><c> he</c><00:32:09.880><c> was</c><00:32:10.099><c> made</c><00:32:10.420><c> one</c><00:32:10.680><c> with</c><00:32:10.960><c> the</c><00:32:11.140><c> Gentile.</c>

00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:14.380
And<00:32:11.660><c> they</c><00:32:11.799><c> were</c><00:32:12.099><c> both</c><00:32:12.720><c> no</c><00:32:13.400><c> people.</c>

00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:17.779
So<00:32:15.539><c> when</c><00:32:15.819><c> God</c><00:32:16.119><c> showed</c><00:32:16.460><c> mercy</c><00:32:16.839><c> to</c><00:32:17.039><c> the</c><00:32:17.180><c> Jew</c><00:32:17.259><c> and</c><00:32:17.480><c> brought</c><00:32:17.599><c> him</c>

00:32:17.779 --> 00:32:18.440
back<00:32:17.980><c> again,</c>

00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:21.900
he<00:32:19.259><c> established</c><00:32:19.960><c> the</c><00:32:20.259><c> principle</c><00:32:20.680><c> for</c><00:32:20.960><c> bringing</c><00:32:21.220><c> the</c><00:32:21.440><c> Gentile</c>

00:32:21.900 --> 00:32:23.200
with<00:32:22.200><c> him.</c>

00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:26.359
Because<00:32:23.720><c> if</c><00:32:23.940><c> God</c><00:32:24.140><c> can</c><00:32:24.400><c> make</c><00:32:24.660><c> a</c><00:32:24.880><c> no</c><00:32:25.119><c> people,</c><00:32:25.779><c> my</c><00:32:25.960><c> people,</c>

00:32:26.500 --> 00:32:28.700
in<00:32:26.619><c> the</c><00:32:26.779><c> case</c><00:32:27.039><c> of</c><00:32:27.240><c> restoring</c><00:32:28.220><c> Israel,</c>

00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:31.519
then<00:32:29.140><c> he</c><00:32:29.240><c> can</c><00:32:29.420><c> make</c><00:32:29.640><c> a</c><00:32:29.900><c> Gentile</c><00:32:30.380><c> no</c><00:32:30.660><c> people,</c><00:32:31.059><c> my</c><00:32:31.299><c> people,</c>

00:32:31.579 --> 00:32:34.299
on<00:32:31.759><c> the</c><00:32:32.059><c> same</c><00:32:32.380><c> principle,</c><00:32:32.839><c> on</c><00:32:33.000><c> the</c><00:32:33.180><c> same</c><00:32:33.400><c> basis.</c>

00:32:34.859 --> 00:32:37.500
So<00:32:35.079><c> when</c><00:32:35.299><c> the</c><00:32:35.539><c> Jew</c><00:32:35.700><c> found</c><00:32:36.000><c> himself</c><00:32:36.339><c> standing</c><00:32:36.799><c> over</c><00:32:37.220><c> here,</c>

00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:40.700
not<00:32:37.819><c> God's</c><00:32:38.319><c> person,</c><00:32:39.339><c> wanting</c><00:32:39.660><c> God's</c><00:32:40.259><c> mercy,</c>

00:32:41.059 --> 00:32:43.220
this<00:32:41.220><c> is</c><00:32:41.400><c> my</c><00:32:41.579><c> point</c><00:32:41.779><c> of</c><00:32:41.960><c> Paul's</c><00:32:42.259><c> quotation,</c>

00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:45.599
he<00:32:43.420><c> can</c><00:32:43.599><c> only</c><00:32:43.920><c> have</c><00:32:44.059><c> it</c><00:32:44.220><c> on</c><00:32:44.339><c> one</c><00:32:44.559><c> basis.</c>

00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:50.279
He<00:32:46.759><c> has</c><00:32:47.119><c> to</c><00:32:47.319><c> accept</c><00:32:47.640><c> the</c><00:32:47.859><c> Gentile</c><00:32:48.279><c> with</c><00:32:48.519><c> it.</c>

00:32:50.740 --> 00:32:52.680
It's<00:32:50.819><c> really</c><00:32:50.980><c> a</c><00:32:51.259><c> point</c><00:32:51.420><c> that</c><00:32:51.640><c> Paul's</c><00:32:51.980><c> making.</c>

00:32:53.059 --> 00:32:54.200
There's<00:32:53.400><c> the</c><00:32:53.559><c> Jew</c><00:32:53.660><c> over</c><00:32:54.000><c> here.</c>

00:32:54.259 --> 00:32:55.559
You<00:32:54.440><c> want</c><00:32:54.660><c> the</c><00:32:54.859><c> mercy</c><00:32:55.079><c> of</c><00:32:55.380><c> God?</c>

00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:57.599
Oh,<00:32:56.200><c> I'd</c><00:32:56.539><c> love</c><00:32:56.619><c> the</c><00:32:56.859><c> mercy</c><00:32:57.099><c> of</c><00:32:57.359><c> God.</c>

00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:00.980
Well,<00:32:58.440><c> I'm</c><00:32:58.779><c> prepared</c><00:32:59.019><c> to</c><00:32:59.319><c> show</c><00:32:59.460><c> you</c><00:32:59.640><c> the</c><00:32:59.799><c> mercy</c><00:33:00.019><c> of</c><00:33:00.259><c> God.</c>

00:33:01.099 --> 00:33:03.440
But<00:33:01.299><c> when</c><00:33:01.599><c> you</c><00:33:01.880><c> experience</c><00:33:02.420><c> the</c><00:33:02.660><c> mercy</c><00:33:02.920><c> of</c><00:33:03.220><c> God,</c>

00:33:03.579 --> 00:33:05.839
you<00:33:03.799><c> will,</c><00:33:04.359><c> by</c><00:33:04.480><c> that</c><00:33:04.779><c> very</c><00:33:05.079><c> experience,</c>

00:33:06.339 --> 00:33:09.339
establish<00:33:06.799><c> the</c><00:33:07.119><c> principle</c><00:33:07.519><c> for</c><00:33:08.019><c> the</c><00:33:08.380><c> Gentile</c><00:33:08.839><c> to</c><00:33:08.980><c> be</c><00:33:09.180><c> brought</c>

00:33:09.339 --> 00:33:09.759
with<00:33:09.579><c> you.</c>

00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:11.480
Now<00:33:10.259><c> do</c><00:33:10.359><c> you</c><00:33:10.460><c> want</c><00:33:10.619><c> the</c><00:33:10.779><c> mercy</c><00:33:11.019><c> of</c><00:33:11.279><c> God?</c>

00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:13.359
He's<00:33:12.079><c> got</c><00:33:12.180><c> no</c><00:33:12.359><c> option.</c>

00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:17.460
So<00:33:15.220><c> it</c><00:33:15.420><c> brings</c><00:33:15.720><c> forth,</c><00:33:16.200><c> it</c><00:33:16.359><c> invokes</c><00:33:16.759><c> in</c><00:33:16.980><c> the</c><00:33:17.180><c> Jew</c>

00:33:17.460 --> 00:33:19.680
a<00:33:18.019><c> response</c><00:33:18.579><c> to</c><00:33:18.880><c> accept</c><00:33:19.140><c> Gentile,</c>

00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.500
which<00:33:19.920><c> if</c><00:33:20.000><c> he's</c><00:33:20.200><c> not</c><00:33:20.440><c> prepared</c><00:33:20.740><c> to</c><00:33:20.940><c> do,</c><00:33:21.279><c> he'll</c><00:33:21.539><c> never</c><00:33:21.819><c> have</c><00:33:22.160><c> that.</c>

00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:25.880
But<00:33:23.099><c> once</c><00:33:23.400><c> he</c><00:33:23.559><c> gets</c><00:33:23.819><c> it,</c><00:33:24.039><c> he</c><00:33:24.299><c> establishes</c><00:33:24.819><c> the</c><00:33:24.980><c> principle.</c>

00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:28.680
You<00:33:27.319><c> see</c><00:33:27.440><c> the</c><00:33:27.599><c> point</c><00:33:27.720><c> I'm</c><00:33:27.960><c> making?</c>

00:33:29.380 --> 00:33:31.640
It's<00:33:29.519><c> like</c><00:33:29.660><c> a</c><00:33:29.880><c> person</c><00:33:30.079><c> saying,</c><00:33:30.640><c> I</c><00:33:30.859><c> promise</c><00:33:31.200><c> you</c><00:33:31.440><c> something,</c>

00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:33.539
I'll<00:33:32.180><c> give</c><00:33:32.279><c> it</c><00:33:32.460><c> to</c><00:33:32.640><c> you.</c>

00:33:34.019 --> 00:33:35.259
And<00:33:34.160><c> we</c><00:33:34.299><c> say,</c><00:33:34.420><c> well,</c><00:33:34.500><c> that'll</c><00:33:34.660><c> be</c><00:33:34.819><c> very</c><00:33:35.099><c> nice.</c>

00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:36.299
I<00:33:35.359><c> hope</c><00:33:35.480><c> he</c><00:33:35.579><c> doesn't</c><00:33:35.740><c> give</c><00:33:35.859><c> it</c><00:33:35.940><c> to</c><00:33:36.000><c> me,</c><00:33:36.140><c> brother.</c>

00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:37.759
I<00:33:36.420><c> don't</c><00:33:36.599><c> like</c><00:33:36.779><c> me,</c><00:33:37.079><c> brother.</c>

00:33:38.180 --> 00:33:39.859
But<00:33:38.359><c> if</c><00:33:38.700><c> we</c><00:33:38.900><c> said</c><00:33:39.059><c> to</c><00:33:39.180><c> that</c><00:33:39.279><c> young</c><00:33:39.519><c> person,</c>

00:33:39.859 --> 00:33:42.279
I'll<00:33:40.099><c> give</c><00:33:40.259><c> it</c><00:33:40.380><c> to</c><00:33:40.480><c> you,</c><00:33:40.819><c> providing</c><00:33:41.279><c> you</c><00:33:41.619><c> accept</c><00:33:41.900><c> the</c><00:33:42.099><c> fact</c>

00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:44.019
that<00:33:42.400><c> I</c><00:33:42.480><c> can</c><00:33:42.599><c> give</c><00:33:42.700><c> it</c><00:33:42.819><c> to</c><00:33:42.859><c> him</c><00:33:43.160><c> too.</c>

00:33:44.619 --> 00:33:47.700
Now<00:33:44.980><c> it</c><00:33:45.019><c> depends</c><00:33:45.380><c> how</c><00:33:45.519><c> much</c><00:33:45.740><c> you</c><00:33:45.880><c> want</c><00:33:46.079><c> it,</c><00:33:46.200><c> isn't</c><00:33:46.359><c> it?</c>

00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:49.000
It<00:33:47.940><c> depends</c><00:33:48.259><c> how</c><00:33:48.420><c> much</c><00:33:48.599><c> you</c><00:33:48.720><c> want</c><00:33:48.880><c> it.</c>

00:33:49.019 --> 00:33:50.900
If<00:33:49.099><c> you're</c><00:33:49.319><c> going</c><00:33:49.420><c> to</c><00:33:49.519><c> be</c><00:33:49.660><c> so</c><00:33:49.920><c> pig</c><00:33:50.079><c>-headed</c><00:33:50.220><c> and</c><00:33:50.480><c> hard</c><00:33:50.740><c>-hearted,</c>

00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:52.319
you're<00:33:51.259><c> prepared</c><00:33:51.279><c> to</c><00:33:51.460><c> throw</c><00:33:51.559><c> your</c><00:33:51.859><c> life</c><00:33:52.000><c> away</c>

00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:53.539
so<00:33:52.539><c> that</c><00:33:52.680><c> others</c><00:33:52.859><c> won't</c><00:33:53.099><c> get</c><00:33:53.259><c> it,</c>

00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:54.700
then<00:33:53.700><c> you</c><00:33:53.900><c> deserve</c><00:33:54.160><c> all</c><00:33:54.359><c> you</c><00:33:54.579><c> get.</c>

00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:55.859
But<00:33:54.900><c> who's</c><00:33:55.160><c> going</c><00:33:55.279><c> to</c><00:33:55.359><c> do</c><00:33:55.559><c> that?</c>

00:33:56.039 --> 00:33:57.819
The<00:33:56.200><c> Jew</c><00:33:56.339><c> says,</c><00:33:56.559><c> no,</c><00:33:56.779><c> I</c><00:33:56.920><c> want</c><00:33:57.180><c> God's</c><00:33:57.640><c> mercy.</c>

00:33:58.119 --> 00:33:59.180
Well,<00:33:58.259><c> come</c><00:33:58.480><c> over</c><00:33:58.880><c> here.</c>

00:33:59.380 --> 00:34:01.339
And<00:33:59.539><c> when</c><00:33:59.640><c> he</c><00:33:59.819><c> walked</c><00:34:00.039><c> back</c><00:34:00.279><c> and</c><00:34:00.500><c> became</c><00:34:00.720><c> God's</c><00:34:01.180><c> people,</c>

00:34:01.420 --> 00:34:03.460
God<00:34:01.640><c> says,</c><00:34:01.960><c> now</c><00:34:02.099><c> you've</c><00:34:02.519><c> got</c><00:34:02.619><c> to</c><00:34:02.740><c> establish</c><00:34:03.019><c> the</c><00:34:03.279><c> principle</c>

00:34:03.460 --> 00:34:05.519
I<00:34:03.619><c> can</c><00:34:03.740><c> bring</c><00:34:03.940><c> him</c><00:34:04.160><c> over</c><00:34:04.380><c> here</c><00:34:04.640><c> too.</c>

00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:08.739
So<00:34:06.759><c> it</c><00:34:06.819><c> wasn't</c><00:34:07.079><c> just</c><00:34:07.420><c> simply</c><00:34:07.720><c> quoting</c><00:34:08.059><c> that</c><00:34:08.380><c> reference</c>

00:34:08.739 --> 00:34:10.599
to<00:34:09.199><c> be</c><00:34:09.320><c> clever,</c><00:34:09.900><c> brothers</c><00:34:10.099><c> and</c><00:34:10.239><c> sisters.</c>

00:34:10.860 --> 00:34:14.420
It<00:34:10.940><c> was</c><00:34:11.239><c> to</c><00:34:11.599><c> invoke</c><00:34:12.139><c> in</c><00:34:12.519><c> that</c><00:34:12.800><c> Jew</c><00:34:13.039><c> and</c><00:34:13.400><c> accept</c><00:34:13.579><c> it</c><00:34:13.679><c> to</c><00:34:13.840><c> the</c><00:34:14.000><c> Gentile</c>

00:34:14.420 --> 00:34:17.579
because<00:34:14.719><c> by</c><00:34:15.000><c> accepting</c><00:34:15.300><c> the</c><00:34:15.519><c> Gentile,</c><00:34:15.880><c> accepted</c><00:34:16.300><c> God's</c><00:34:16.739><c> mercy.</c>

00:34:17.820 --> 00:34:18.940
It's<00:34:18.119><c> absolutely</c><00:34:18.480><c> beautiful.</c>

00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:19.900
Now<00:34:19.599><c> I</c><00:34:19.800><c> want...</c>

00:34:19.900 --> 00:34:20.880
Do<00:34:20.019><c> you</c><00:34:20.179><c> understand</c><00:34:20.500><c> that,</c><00:34:20.800><c> officer?</c>

00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:22.019
Don't<00:34:21.059><c> you</c><00:34:21.219><c> understand?</c>

00:34:23.260 --> 00:34:26.139
Because<00:34:23.559><c> I'm</c><00:34:23.800><c> going</c><00:34:23.880><c> to</c><00:34:24.079><c> show</c><00:34:24.280><c> you</c><00:34:24.500><c> that</c><00:34:24.820><c> in</c><00:34:25.219><c> Paul.</c>

00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:29.280
I'll<00:34:28.079><c> show</c><00:34:28.219><c> you</c><00:34:28.300><c> that</c><00:34:28.440><c> in</c><00:34:28.579><c> one</c><00:34:28.739><c> individual.</c>

00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:31.940
It's<00:34:30.000><c> used</c><00:34:30.239><c> in</c><00:34:30.480><c> that</c><00:34:30.780><c> Bible,</c><00:34:31.380><c> Hosea.</c>

00:34:32.300 --> 00:34:34.159
Exactly<00:34:32.860><c> like</c><00:34:33.199><c> that.</c>

00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:36.000
Now<00:34:34.619><c> you</c><00:34:34.699><c> look</c><00:34:34.860><c> at</c><00:34:35.039><c> this.</c>

00:34:36.260 --> 00:34:42.900
In<00:34:36.840><c> the</c><00:34:37.079><c> 1</c><00:34:37.340><c> Timothy,</c><00:34:38.300><c> chapter</c><00:34:38.539><c> 1,</c><00:34:41.360><c> you</c><00:34:41.460><c> watch</c><00:34:41.760><c> this.</c>

00:34:42.980 --> 00:34:44.179
Oh,<00:34:43.300><c> dear,</c><00:34:43.480><c> this</c><00:34:43.599><c> is</c><00:34:43.739><c> beautiful.</c>

00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:46.900
It<00:34:44.659><c> really</c><00:34:45.079><c> is.</c>

00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:02.219
Now<00:34:58.840><c> here's</c><00:34:59.239><c> Hosea</c><00:34:59.539><c> in</c><00:34:59.760><c> the</c><00:34:59.920><c> case</c><00:35:00.179><c> of</c><00:35:00.480><c> Paul</c><00:35:00.719><c> as</c><00:35:00.980><c> an</c><00:35:01.280><c> individual.</c>

00:35:02.380 --> 00:35:04.239
You<00:35:02.699><c> listen</c><00:35:03.000><c> carefully,</c><00:35:03.639><c> brothers</c><00:35:03.840><c> and</c><00:35:04.019><c> sisters,</c>

00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:06.880
to<00:35:04.420><c> the</c><00:35:04.619><c> overtones</c><00:35:05.000><c> of</c><00:35:05.260><c> Hosea</c><00:35:05.619><c> in</c><00:35:05.820><c> this.</c>

00:35:06.980 --> 00:35:09.340
1<00:35:07.199><c> Timothy,</c><00:35:07.719><c> chapter</c><00:35:08.000><c> 1.</c>

00:35:10.619 --> 00:35:12.239

00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:04.159
And<00:38:02.239><c> that's</c><00:38:02.320><c> what</c><00:38:02.400><c> he</c><00:38:02.539><c> dedicated</c><00:38:02.900><c> his</c><00:38:03.179><c> life</c><00:38:03.420><c> to.</c>

00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:07.980
So<00:38:04.679><c> Paul</c><00:38:04.900><c> saw</c><00:38:05.199><c> that</c><00:38:05.480><c> principle</c><00:38:06.000><c> in</c><00:38:06.940><c> the</c><00:38:07.199><c> individual</c><00:38:07.679><c> sense.</c>

00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:10.579
It's<00:38:08.420><c> absolutely</c><00:38:08.900><c> graphic</c><00:38:09.500><c> when</c><00:38:09.679><c> you</c><00:38:09.860><c> see</c><00:38:09.980><c> that</c><00:38:10.260><c> dance.</c>

00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:12.960
It<00:38:11.139><c> really</c><00:38:11.579><c> is</c><00:38:11.840><c> wonderful,</c><00:38:12.460><c> brothers</c><00:38:12.579><c> and</c><00:38:12.739><c> sisters.</c>

There's<00:38:13.440><c> no</c><00:38:13.619><c> doubt</c><00:38:13.719><c> about</c><00:38:14.019><c> that.</c>

00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:20.280
Now<00:38:15.360><c> what</c><00:38:15.539><c> Paul</c><00:38:15.820><c> does</c><00:38:16.099><c> later</c><00:38:16.440><c> on</c><00:38:17.260><c> is</c><00:38:17.880><c> to</c><00:38:18.179><c> use</c><00:38:18.400><c> that</c><00:38:18.760><c> same</c><00:38:19.039><c> principle</c>

You<00:40:59.880><c> and</c><00:41:00.039><c> I</c><00:41:00.099><c> will</c><00:41:00.280><c> be</c><00:41:00.400><c> made</c><00:41:00.639><c> immortal.</c>

00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:02.699
And<00:41:01.360><c> we'll</c><00:41:01.619><c> stand</c><00:41:01.739><c> before</c><00:41:01.980><c> Israel</c><00:41:02.300><c> and</c><00:41:02.400><c> we'll</c><00:41:02.519><c> say,</c>

00:41:02.699 --> 00:41:04.639
We're<00:41:03.079><c> immortal</c><00:41:03.440><c> because</c><00:41:03.800><c> of</c><00:41:04.019><c> your</c><00:41:04.320><c> hope.</c>

00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:06.219
And<00:41:04.980><c> that</c><00:41:05.119><c> will</c><00:41:05.320><c> provoke</c><00:41:05.579><c> them</c><00:41:05.820><c> to</c><00:41:05.940><c> jealousy.</c>

00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:08.619
They'll<00:41:06.719><c> want</c><00:41:06.800><c> the</c><00:41:07.039><c> same</c><00:41:07.360><c> thing,</c><00:41:07.760><c> and</c><00:41:07.900><c> so</c><00:41:08.000><c> they'll</c><00:41:08.179><c> come</c><00:41:08.440><c> back</c>

00:41:08.619 --> 00:41:09.880
to<00:41:08.840><c> us.</c>

00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:12.860
So<00:41:11.280><c> we</c><00:41:11.480><c> provoke</c><00:41:11.800><c> the</c><00:41:12.019><c> jealousy.</c>

00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:15.239
But<00:41:13.760><c> where</c><00:41:14.079><c> does</c><00:41:14.219><c> that</c><00:41:14.400><c> leave</c><00:41:14.599><c> you</c><00:41:14.820><c> and</c><00:41:15.039><c> I?</c>

00:41:15.380 --> 00:41:18.079
It<00:41:15.579><c> means</c><00:41:15.920><c> this,</c><00:41:16.239><c> that</c><00:41:16.460><c> the</c><00:41:16.659><c> Gentiles</c><00:41:17.079><c> who</c><00:41:17.300><c> are</c><00:41:17.480><c> now</c><00:41:17.780><c> enjoying</c>

00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:19.579
God's<00:41:18.559><c> mercy</c>

00:41:19.699 --> 00:41:22.940
must<00:41:20.019><c> accept</c><00:41:20.519><c> the</c><00:41:20.780><c> fact</c><00:41:21.179><c> that</c><00:41:21.619><c> it's</c><00:41:21.900><c> that</c><00:41:22.159><c> very</c><00:41:22.579><c> mercy</c>

00:41:22.940 --> 00:41:25.139
which<00:41:23.179><c> will</c><00:41:23.420><c> provoke</c><00:41:23.679><c> Israel</c><00:41:24.019><c> to</c><00:41:24.239><c> jealousy.</c>

00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:28.519
So<00:41:27.360><c> you</c><00:41:27.460><c> see,</c><00:41:27.599><c> the</c><00:41:27.699><c> point</c><00:41:27.900><c> is</c><00:41:28.159><c> this.</c>

00:41:28.820 --> 00:41:30.800
The<00:41:29.000><c> Jews</c><00:41:29.239><c> here</c><00:41:29.599><c> is</c><00:41:30.059><c> God's</c><00:41:30.579><c> people.</c>

00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:32.219
He<00:41:31.139><c> walks</c><00:41:31.420><c> over</c><00:41:31.739><c> here.</c>

00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:35.000
He's<00:41:32.480><c> alongside</c><00:41:32.820><c> of</c><00:41:33.039><c> the</c><00:41:33.139><c> Gentiles,</c><00:41:33.539><c> not</c><00:41:33.840><c> God's</c><00:41:34.260><c> people.</c>

00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:36.960
Then<00:41:35.300><c> God</c><00:41:35.539><c> makes</c><00:41:35.880><c> him</c><00:41:36.199><c> his</c><00:41:36.400><c> people</c><00:41:36.699><c> again.</c>

00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:38.760
And<00:41:37.139><c> God</c><00:41:37.300><c> says,</c><00:41:37.739><c> Now,</c><00:41:37.840><c> you</c><00:41:38.059><c> want</c><00:41:38.300><c> that,</c><00:41:38.559><c> don't</c><00:41:38.679><c> you?</c>

00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:39.360
Yes,<00:41:39.000><c> I</c><00:41:39.079><c> do.</c>

00:41:39.619 --> 00:41:40.579
Well,<00:41:39.860><c> you</c><00:41:40.019><c> see</c><00:41:40.079><c> what</c><00:41:40.219><c> I've</c><00:41:40.400><c> done?</c>

00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:42.780
You<00:41:40.780><c> were</c><00:41:40.960><c> over</c><00:41:41.219><c> there</c><00:41:41.340><c> with</c><00:41:41.559><c> him</c><00:41:41.679><c> and</c><00:41:41.780><c> you</c><00:41:41.900><c> were</c><00:41:42.039><c> the</c><00:41:42.219><c> same</c><00:41:42.380><c> as</c><00:41:42.579><c> him.</c>

00:41:42.900 --> 00:41:43.820
I've<00:41:43.219><c> done</c><00:41:43.300><c> that</c><00:41:43.440><c> for</c><00:41:43.639><c> you.</c>

00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:44.960
Why<00:41:44.139><c> can't</c><00:41:44.380><c> I</c><00:41:44.460><c> do</c><00:41:44.460><c> it</c><00:41:44.579><c> for</c><00:41:44.739><c> him?</c>

00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:46.639
I've<00:41:45.199><c> established</c><00:41:45.500><c> the</c><00:41:45.760><c> principles.</c>

00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:49.099
You<00:41:47.440><c> say</c><00:41:47.559><c> that</c><00:41:47.780><c> I</c><00:41:47.900><c> can</c><00:41:48.000><c> only</c><00:41:48.219><c> save</c><00:41:48.420><c> my</c><00:41:48.760><c> people.</c>

00:41:49.519 --> 00:41:50.980
You<00:41:49.639><c> say</c><00:41:49.780><c> that</c><00:41:49.960><c> you</c><00:41:50.039><c> were</c><00:41:50.219><c> always</c><00:41:50.519><c> my</c><00:41:50.800><c> people.</c>

00:41:51.059 --> 00:41:53.059
You're<00:41:51.300><c> not.</c><00:41:51.659><c> You</c><00:41:51.739><c> were</c><00:41:51.960><c> once</c><00:41:52.280><c> not</c><00:41:52.500><c> my</c><00:41:52.760><c> people.</c>

00:41:53.219 --> 00:41:55.719
Now,<00:41:53.400><c> if</c><00:41:53.539><c> I've</c><00:41:53.800><c> brought</c><00:41:53.900><c> you</c><00:41:54.139><c> back</c><00:41:54.380><c> again,</c><00:41:54.940><c> I</c><00:41:55.159><c> can</c><00:41:55.320><c> bring</c><00:41:55.480><c> him</c>

00:41:55.719 --> 00:41:56.139
back<00:41:55.900><c> again.</c>

00:41:56.199 --> 00:41:56.920
Do<00:41:56.340><c> you</c><00:41:56.420><c> believe</c><00:41:56.699><c> that?</c>

00:41:57.019 --> 00:41:59.519
If<00:41:57.179><c> he</c><00:41:57.320><c> says</c><00:41:57.480><c> no,</c><00:41:57.820><c> well,</c><00:41:57.920><c> God,</c><00:41:58.159><c> did</c><00:41:58.199><c> you</c><00:41:58.340><c> go</c><00:41:58.500><c> back</c><00:41:58.739><c> there?</c>

00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:02.380
But<00:42:00.079><c> the</c><00:42:00.239><c> fact</c><00:42:00.440><c> that</c><00:42:00.579><c> he's</c><00:42:00.719><c> come</c><00:42:00.980><c> there</c><00:42:01.260><c> and</c><00:42:01.400><c> received</c><00:42:01.760><c> God's</c><00:42:02.179><c> mercy,</c>

00:42:02.619 --> 00:42:03.840
he<00:42:02.619><c> must</c><00:42:02.880><c> receive</c><00:42:03.119><c> the</c><00:42:03.320><c> other</c><00:42:03.519><c> person.</c>

00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:06.559
And<00:42:04.119><c> so</c><00:42:04.219><c> they're</c><00:42:04.380><c> brought</c><00:42:04.539><c> together,</c><00:42:05.400><c> not</c><00:42:05.460><c> only</c><00:42:05.639><c> by</c><00:42:05.900><c> God's</c><00:42:06.320><c> purpose,</c>

00:42:06.860 --> 00:42:09.659
but<00:42:07.000><c> in</c><00:42:07.159><c> love</c><00:42:07.380><c> and</c><00:42:07.659><c> consideration</c><00:42:08.059><c> for</c><00:42:08.260><c> each</c><00:42:08.480><c> other.</c>

00:42:10.460 --> 00:42:11.900
They're<00:42:10.559><c> the</c><00:42:10.679><c> same</c><00:42:10.900><c> applies</c><00:42:11.159><c> to</c><00:42:11.300><c> the</c><00:42:11.400><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:42:12.099 --> 00:42:12.980
He<00:42:12.239><c> was</c><00:42:12.480><c> once</c><00:42:12.679><c> over</c><00:42:12.860><c> there.</c>

00:42:12.980 --> 00:42:13.920
He<00:42:13.059><c> didn't</c><00:42:13.280><c> believe</c><00:42:13.599><c> God.</c>

00:42:14.059 --> 00:42:15.320
Now<00:42:14.239><c> he's</c><00:42:14.480><c> here</c><00:42:14.639><c> in</c><00:42:14.780><c> God's</c><00:42:15.119><c> mercy.</c>

00:42:15.380 --> 00:42:17.099
Why?<00:42:15.699><c> Because</c><00:42:15.920><c> this</c><00:42:16.199><c> man</c><00:42:16.360><c> didn't</c><00:42:16.719><c> believe.</c>

00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:20.019
If<00:42:17.380><c> this</c><00:42:17.619><c> man</c><00:42:17.739><c> had</c><00:42:17.900><c> gone</c><00:42:18.039><c> on</c><00:42:18.260><c> believing,</c><00:42:19.019><c> God's</c><00:42:19.500><c> mercy</c><00:42:19.579><c> wouldn't</c><00:42:19.860><c> have</c>

00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:23.800
So<00:42:21.420><c> he</c><00:42:21.500><c> sees</c><00:42:21.719><c> that</c><00:42:21.940><c> poor</c><00:42:22.159><c> man</c><00:42:22.400><c> over</c><00:42:22.619><c> there</c><00:42:22.860><c> now</c><00:42:23.179><c> and</c><00:42:23.440><c> he's</c><00:42:23.699><c> got</c>

00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:34.360
And<00:42:32.219><c> if</c><00:42:32.340><c> he</c><00:42:32.559><c> feels</c><00:42:32.760><c> for</c><00:42:33.000><c> that</c><00:42:33.139><c> man</c><00:42:33.320><c> because</c><00:42:33.519><c> he's</c><00:42:33.760><c> got</c><00:42:33.880><c> his</c><00:42:34.099><c> position,</c>

00:42:34.460 --> 00:42:36.219

00:42:36.539 --> 00:42:38.000
He'll<00:42:36.820><c> be</c><00:42:37.059><c> thrilled</c><00:42:37.320><c> with</c><00:42:37.559><c> that.</c>

00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:40.860
And<00:42:38.500><c> when</c><00:42:38.659><c> the</c><00:42:38.780><c> day</c><00:42:38.940><c> comes</c><00:42:39.239><c> for</c><00:42:39.400><c> Israel</c><00:42:39.639><c> to</c><00:42:39.800><c> be</c><00:42:39.940><c> provoked</c><00:42:40.239><c> to</c><00:42:40.440><c> jealousy</c>

00:42:45.500 --> 00:42:48.400
and<00:42:45.639><c> they'll</c><00:42:45.900><c> both</c><00:42:46.139><c> want</c><00:42:46.340><c> to</c><00:42:46.500><c> come</c><00:42:46.760><c> for</c><00:42:47.059><c> both</c><00:42:47.400><c> reasons.</c>

00:42:48.840 --> 00:42:51.340
All<00:42:49.139><c> the</c><00:42:49.360><c> depth</c><00:42:49.639><c> of</c><00:42:49.820><c> the</c><00:42:50.000><c> riches</c><00:42:50.159><c> of</c><00:42:50.360><c> the</c><00:42:50.559><c> understanding</c><00:42:51.039><c> of</c>

00:42:51.340 --> 00:42:52.219
God,<00:42:51.679><c> says</c><00:42:51.679><c> the</c><00:42:51.840><c> Apostles.</c>

00:42:52.219 --> 00:42:53.460
Who<00:42:52.559><c> knows</c><00:42:52.980><c> his</c><00:42:53.260><c> ways?</c>

00:42:53.619 --> 00:42:54.780
They're<00:42:53.820><c> past</c><00:42:54.119><c> finding</c><00:42:54.360><c> out.</c>

00:42:54.960 --> 00:42:56.679
And<00:42:55.119><c> isn't</c><00:42:55.239><c> this</c><00:42:55.380><c> how</c><00:42:55.579><c> we</c><00:42:55.840><c> feel?</c>

00:42:57.380 --> 00:42:59.960
Our<00:42:57.579><c> eulalia</c><00:42:57.960><c> collection,</c><00:42:58.900><c> our</c><00:42:59.119><c> prayers</c><00:42:59.340><c> for</c><00:42:59.539><c> Israel.</c>

00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:01.239
We<00:43:00.420><c> read</c><00:43:00.739><c> the</c><00:43:00.960><c> papers.</c>

00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:03.420
We<00:43:01.940><c> rejoice</c><00:43:02.480><c> in</c><00:43:02.719><c> Israel's</c><00:43:03.119><c> victory.</c>

00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:06.199
We<00:43:03.900><c> are</c><00:43:04.159><c> depressed</c><00:43:04.619><c> and</c><00:43:04.800><c> despondent</c><00:43:05.280><c> when</c><00:43:05.400><c> they're</c><00:43:05.840><c> persecuted.</c>

00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:08.440
Why<00:43:06.780><c> do</c><00:43:06.980><c> we</c><00:43:07.119><c> feel</c><00:43:07.340><c> for</c><00:43:07.559><c> Israel</c><00:43:07.820><c> like</c><00:43:08.119><c> that?</c>

00:43:08.599 --> 00:43:09.320
For<00:43:08.739><c> that</c><00:43:08.940><c> reason.</c>

00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:11.500
Because<00:43:09.659><c> we're</c><00:43:10.039><c> standing</c><00:43:10.460><c> where</c><00:43:10.719><c> they</c><00:43:10.980><c> once</c><00:43:11.320><c> stood.</c>

00:43:11.699 --> 00:43:13.760
We<00:43:11.880><c> only</c><00:43:12.159><c> got</c><00:43:12.300><c> it</c><00:43:12.460><c> because</c><00:43:12.679><c> God</c><00:43:12.960><c> rejected</c><00:43:13.420><c> them.</c>

00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:15.900
And<00:43:14.079><c> we</c><00:43:14.239><c> would</c><00:43:14.300><c> only</c><00:43:14.559><c> maintain</c><00:43:15.059><c> it</c><00:43:15.219><c> if</c><00:43:15.380><c> we</c><00:43:15.579><c> believed</c>

00:43:15.900 --> 00:43:18.960
that<00:43:16.099><c> the</c><00:43:16.260><c> very</c><00:43:16.480><c> things</c><00:43:16.719><c> we've</c><00:43:17.039><c> got</c><00:43:17.159><c> will</c><00:43:17.400><c> bring</c><00:43:17.619><c> them</c><00:43:17.960><c> back.</c>

00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:20.400
Oh,<00:43:19.699><c> it's</c><00:43:20.019><c> glorious.</c>

00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:24.300
And<00:43:21.139><c> so</c><00:43:21.380><c> the</c><00:43:21.699><c> principle</c><00:43:22.139><c> of</c><00:43:22.460><c> Hosea</c><00:43:22.840><c> is</c><00:43:23.159><c> in</c><00:43:23.340><c> reverse.</c>

00:43:24.619 --> 00:43:26.059
It<00:43:24.699><c> works</c><00:43:24.980><c> both</c><00:43:25.239><c> ways.</c>

00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:28.920
And<00:43:26.699><c> the</c><00:43:26.820><c> Apostle</c><00:43:27.199><c> developed</c><00:43:27.679><c> that</c><00:43:28.099><c> through</c><00:43:28.440><c> his</c><00:43:28.679><c> argument</c>

00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:30.139
in<00:43:29.139><c> Romans.</c>

00:43:30.179 --> 00:43:32.699
So<00:43:30.219><c> that</c><00:43:30.340><c> when</c><00:43:30.639><c> Jew</c><00:43:30.639><c> and</c><00:43:30.780><c> Gentile</c><00:43:31.119><c> unite</c><00:43:31.519><c> together,</c>

00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:35.079
there<00:43:32.860><c> will</c><00:43:33.019><c> not</c><00:43:33.199><c> only</c><00:43:33.340><c> be</c><00:43:33.500><c> a</c><00:43:33.619><c> bringing</c><00:43:33.780><c> together</c><00:43:34.099><c> by</c><00:43:34.340><c> God's</c><00:43:34.820><c> will,</c>

00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:38.820
but<00:43:35.539><c> by</c><00:43:35.920><c> mutual</c><00:43:36.400><c> consent</c><00:43:37.139><c> in</c><00:43:37.800><c> accepting</c><00:43:38.079><c> each</c><00:43:38.440><c> other.</c>

00:43:39.219 --> 00:43:40.639
That<00:43:39.420><c> is</c><00:43:39.679><c> absolutely</c><00:43:40.159><c> beautiful.</c>

00:43:41.059 --> 00:43:47.159
Now<00:43:41.420><c> that's</c><00:43:41.920><c> why</c><00:43:42.659><c> the</c><00:43:43.619><c> Apostle</c><00:43:44.159><c> used</c><00:43:44.539><c> Hosea,</c><00:43:45.619><c> a</c><00:43:45.880><c> Jewish</c><00:43:46.159><c> quote,</c>

00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:49.199
to<00:43:47.699><c> prove</c><00:43:47.900><c> that</c><00:43:48.219><c> Gentiles</c><00:43:48.539><c> would</c><00:43:48.739><c> be</c><00:43:49.000><c> called</c>

00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:51.239
when<00:43:49.440><c> he</c><00:43:49.679><c> just</c><00:43:49.880><c> could</c><00:43:49.980><c> have,</c><00:43:50.219><c> just</c><00:43:50.579><c> as</c><00:43:50.820><c> easy,</c>

00:43:51.639 --> 00:43:54.460
used<00:43:52.000><c> dozens</c><00:43:52.599><c> of</c><00:43:52.840><c> others</c><00:43:52.980><c> which</c><00:43:53.420><c> plainly</c><00:43:54.119><c> said</c>

00:43:54.460 --> 00:43:56.800
that<00:43:54.940><c> God</c><00:43:55.139><c> would</c><00:43:55.340><c> call</c><00:43:55.539><c> the</c><00:43:55.719><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:43:56.860 --> 00:43:59.320
Now<00:43:57.000><c> the</c><00:43:57.099><c> other</c><00:43:57.420><c> reference</c><00:43:57.780><c> in</c><00:43:58.039><c> Hosea,</c>

00:44:00.019 --> 00:44:01.500
which<00:44:00.159><c> we</c><00:44:00.320><c> haven't</c><00:44:00.519><c> had</c><00:44:00.639><c> a</c><00:44:00.719><c> look</c><00:44:00.840><c> at</c><00:44:00.960><c> yet,</c>

00:44:01.860 --> 00:44:03.699
is<00:44:02.000><c> in</c><00:44:02.159><c> Chapter</c><00:44:02.480><c> 1,</c>

00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:14.480
which<00:44:11.099><c> basically</c><00:44:11.539><c> is</c><00:44:11.780><c> the</c><00:44:11.940><c> same</c><00:44:12.139><c> thing,</c><00:44:12.400><c> really.</c>

00:44:14.940 --> 00:44:20.039
But<00:44:15.380><c> it</c><00:44:15.460><c> does</c><00:44:15.780><c> add</c><00:44:16.480><c> a</c><00:44:17.800><c> little</c><00:44:18.059><c> point</c><00:44:18.320><c> there,</c><00:44:18.639><c> brothers</c><00:44:18.739><c> and</c><00:44:18.940><c> sisters.</c>

00:44:22.420 --> 00:44:29.760
It<00:44:22.539><c> adds</c><00:44:22.739><c> this</c><00:44:22.980><c> little</c><00:44:23.239><c> touch</c><00:44:23.800><c> in</c><00:44:25.019><c> Hosea</c><00:44:25.420><c> 1</c><00:44:25.659><c> and</c><00:44:25.880><c> verse</c><00:44:26.059><c> 8</c><00:44:29.000><c> to</c><00:44:29.179><c> 10.</c>

00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:32.079
Now<00:44:30.380><c> when</c><00:44:30.539><c> she</c><00:44:30.739><c> had</c><00:44:30.940><c> weaned</c><00:44:31.340><c> lo</c><00:44:31.619><c> Ruama,</c>

00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:34.079
she<00:44:32.360><c> conceived</c><00:44:32.820><c> and</c><00:44:33.019><c> bare</c><00:44:33.239><c> a</c><00:44:33.460><c> son,</c><00:44:33.739><c> then</c><00:44:33.880><c> said,</c>

00:44:34.260 --> 00:44:37.199
God,<00:44:34.380><c> call</c><00:44:34.639><c> his</c><00:44:34.880><c> name,</c><00:44:35.300><c> lo</c><00:44:35.500><c> am</c><00:44:35.760><c> I,</c><00:44:35.980><c> that</c><00:44:36.159><c> is</c><00:44:36.380><c> not</c><00:44:36.619><c> my</c><00:44:36.900><c> people,</c>

00:44:37.300 --> 00:44:40.599
for<00:44:37.440><c> ye</c><00:44:37.659><c> are</c><00:44:37.880><c> not</c><00:44:38.179><c> my</c><00:44:38.480><c> people,</c><00:44:39.019><c> and</c><00:44:39.260><c> I</c><00:44:39.380><c> will</c><00:44:39.559><c> not</c><00:44:39.780><c> be</c><00:44:39.900><c> your</c><00:44:40.139><c> God.</c>

00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:43.980
Yes,<00:44:42.420><c> the</c><00:44:42.460><c> number</c><00:44:42.840><c> of</c><00:44:43.099><c> the</c><00:44:43.260><c> children</c><00:44:43.480><c> of</c><00:44:43.619><c> Israel</c>

00:44:43.980 --> 00:44:45.460
shall<00:44:44.219><c> be</c><00:44:44.420><c> as</c><00:44:44.579><c> the</c><00:44:44.800><c> sand</c><00:44:44.960><c> of</c><00:44:45.119><c> the</c><00:44:45.300><c> sea,</c>

00:44:45.619 --> 00:44:47.019
which<00:44:45.679><c> cannot</c><00:44:45.920><c> be</c><00:44:46.199><c> measured</c><00:44:46.400><c> nor</c><00:44:46.639><c> numbered,</c>

00:44:49.219 --> 00:44:51.820
where<00:44:49.400><c> it</c><00:44:49.480><c> was</c><00:44:49.699><c> said</c><00:44:49.820><c> unto</c><00:44:49.980><c> them,</c><00:44:50.500><c> ye</c><00:44:50.639><c> are</c><00:44:50.800><c> not</c><00:44:51.019><c> my</c><00:44:51.260><c> people,</c>

00:44:52.260 --> 00:44:53.780
there<00:44:52.539><c> it</c><00:44:52.719><c> shall</c><00:44:52.840><c> be</c><00:44:53.039><c> said</c><00:44:53.139><c> unto</c><00:44:53.320><c> them,</c>

00:44:53.960 --> 00:44:56.980
ye<00:44:54.079><c> are</c><00:44:54.320><c> the</c><00:44:54.539><c> sons</c><00:44:55.059><c> of</c><00:44:55.579><c> the</c><00:44:55.760><c> living</c><00:44:56.019><c> God.</c>

00:44:58.119 --> 00:45:03.079
So<00:44:58.559><c> this</c><00:44:58.760><c> woman,</c><00:45:00.139><c> the</c><00:45:00.420><c> harlot</c><00:45:00.880><c> that</c><00:45:01.579><c> Hosea,</c><00:45:01.920><c> of</c><00:45:02.139><c> course,</c><00:45:02.460><c> had</c><00:45:02.639><c> married,</c>

00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:05.559

00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:08.280
which<00:45:05.820><c> represented</c><00:45:06.300><c> Israel</c><00:45:06.780><c> going</c><00:45:07.099><c> astray</c><00:45:07.579><c> from</c><00:45:07.780><c> their</c><00:45:07.960><c> God.</c>

00:45:08.280 --> 00:45:10.539
They<00:45:09.340><c> were</c><00:45:09.639><c> not</c><00:45:09.840><c> God's</c><00:45:10.300><c> people,</c>

00:47:59.519 --> 00:48:01.539
That's<00:48:00.019><c> the</c><00:48:00.099><c> chapter</c><00:48:00.300><c> that's</c><00:48:00.639><c> separated</c><00:48:00.820><c> from</c><00:48:01.059><c> other</c><00:48:01.280><c> people.</c>

00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:02.440
What's<00:48:01.940><c> the</c><00:48:02.039><c> condition?</c>

00:48:02.639 --> 00:48:05.980

00:48:14.300 --> 00:48:15.860
That's<00:48:14.500><c> what</c><00:48:14.659><c> Hosea</c><00:48:15.019><c> said.</c>

00:48:16.099 --> 00:48:18.239

00:48:33.639 --> 00:48:37.179
That's<00:48:34.000><c> what</c><00:48:34.179><c> Hosea</c><00:48:34.500><c> said,</c><00:48:35.239><c> and</c><00:48:35.420><c> that's</c><00:48:35.599><c> what</c><00:48:35.739><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:48:36.219><c> said.</c>

00:48:38.099 --> 00:48:40.099
So<00:48:38.199><c> you</c><00:48:38.380><c> see</c><00:48:38.599><c> the</c><00:48:38.980><c> power</c><00:48:39.280><c> of</c><00:48:39.460><c> those</c><00:48:39.780><c> references</c>

00:48:40.099 --> 00:48:41.619
that<00:48:40.400><c> Paul</c><00:48:40.599><c> is</c><00:48:40.800><c> bringing</c><00:48:41.000><c> into</c><00:48:41.260><c> Romans,</c>

00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:44.739

00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:51.519
How<00:48:46.360><c> did</c><00:48:46.739><c> Paul</c><00:48:47.039><c> know</c><00:48:47.820><c> he</c><00:48:49.340><c> could</c><00:48:49.579><c> use</c><00:48:49.900><c> Hosea</c><00:48:50.219><c> like</c><00:48:50.559><c> that?</c>

00:48:52.679 --> 00:48:57.420
Who<00:48:53.039><c> gave</c><00:48:53.400><c> him</c><00:48:53.679><c> the</c><00:48:53.860><c> authority</c><00:48:54.539><c> to</c><00:48:54.940><c> use</c><00:48:55.219><c> Hosea</c><00:48:55.739><c> in</c><00:48:55.900><c> the</c><00:48:56.000><c> way</c><00:48:56.199><c> that</c><00:48:56.340><c> he</c><00:48:56.380><c> did?</c>

00:48:57.900 --> 00:49:00.500
See,<00:48:58.039><c> it's</c><00:48:58.199><c> rather</c><00:48:58.639><c> bold</c><00:48:59.139><c> to</c><00:48:59.440><c> take</c><00:48:59.599><c> a</c><00:48:59.820><c> reference</c><00:49:00.000><c> which</c><00:49:00.199><c> is</c>

00:49:00.500 --> 00:49:01.340
obviously<00:49:00.900><c> Jewish</c>

00:49:01.340 --> 00:49:04.119
and<00:49:02.139><c> to</c><00:49:02.320><c> say</c><00:49:02.420><c> that</c><00:49:02.579><c> that's</c><00:49:02.800><c> the</c><00:49:02.940><c> call</c><00:49:03.039><c> of</c><00:49:03.199><c> the</c><00:49:03.300><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:06.719
Or<00:49:04.760><c> we</c><00:49:04.820><c> can</c><00:49:05.079><c> see</c><00:49:05.239><c> how</c><00:49:05.440><c> the</c><00:49:05.679><c> principle</c><00:49:05.940><c> was</c><00:49:06.239><c> established,</c>

00:49:06.940 --> 00:49:09.039
but<00:49:07.179><c> how</c><00:49:07.579><c> did</c><00:49:07.739><c> he</c><00:49:08.079><c> know</c><00:49:08.340><c> he</c><00:49:08.480><c> could</c><00:49:08.699><c> do</c><00:49:08.940><c> that?</c>

00:49:09.099 --> 00:49:11.019
You<00:49:09.260><c> know</c><00:49:09.380><c> why,</c><00:49:09.820><c> brothers</c><00:49:09.960><c> and</c><00:49:10.119><c> sisters?</c>

00:49:11.539 --> 00:49:16.960
Because<00:49:12.099><c> you</c><00:49:12.400><c> see,</c><00:49:13.460><c> Paul</c><00:49:14.000><c> reverses</c><00:49:14.840><c> the</c><00:49:14.900><c> words</c><00:49:15.139><c> of</c><00:49:15.420><c> Hosea.</c>

00:49:17.119 --> 00:49:20.360
Hosea<00:49:17.440><c> says</c><00:49:17.760><c> Israel</c><00:49:18.460><c> were</c><00:49:18.760><c> God's</c><00:49:19.179><c> people,</c><00:49:19.440><c> they</c><00:49:19.679><c> became</c><00:49:20.039><c> not</c>

God's<00:49:20.760><c> people,</c>

00:49:21.059 --> 00:49:22.920
then<00:49:21.179><c> Israel</c><00:49:21.519><c> again</c><00:49:21.780><c> had</c><00:49:21.960><c> become</c><00:49:22.179><c> God's</c><00:49:22.639><c> people.</c>

00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:26.300
So<00:49:23.539><c> Paul</c><00:49:23.760><c> says</c><00:49:24.059><c> if</c><00:49:24.360><c> Israel</c><00:49:24.760><c> can</c><00:49:25.019><c> become</c><00:49:25.300><c> not</c><00:49:25.639><c> God's</c><00:49:26.059><c> people</c>

00:49:26.300 --> 00:49:27.639
and<00:49:26.559><c> again</c><00:49:26.840><c> God's</c><00:49:27.300><c> people,</c>

00:49:28.059 --> 00:49:31.320
then<00:49:28.199><c> I</c><00:49:28.380><c> say</c><00:49:28.539><c> the</c><00:49:28.780><c> same</c><00:49:28.940><c> can</c><00:49:29.079><c> apply</c><00:49:29.340><c> to</c><00:49:29.500><c> the</c><00:49:29.639><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:49:31.519 --> 00:49:33.840
But<00:49:31.840><c> where</c><00:49:32.119><c> did</c><00:49:32.280><c> he</c><00:49:32.320><c> get</c><00:49:32.420><c> his</c><00:49:32.679><c> authority</c><00:49:33.159><c> for</c><00:49:33.380><c> doing</c><00:49:33.559><c> that?</c>

00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:38.360
It's<00:49:34.320><c> because</c><00:49:34.579><c> you</c><00:49:34.760><c> see,</c><00:49:35.679><c> Hosea</c><00:49:36.280><c> himself</c><00:49:36.980><c> had</c><00:49:37.320><c> reversed</c><00:49:37.679><c> the</c><00:49:37.960><c> principle</c>

00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:41.400
because<00:49:38.719><c> he</c><00:49:38.900><c> wasn't</c><00:49:39.300><c> the</c><00:49:39.679><c> first</c><00:49:40.000><c> to</c><00:49:40.219><c> use</c><00:49:40.420><c> it.</c>

00:49:43.260 --> 00:49:46.760
All<00:49:43.519><c> Paul</c><00:49:43.780><c> did</c><00:49:44.340><c> was</c><00:49:44.840><c> put</c><00:49:45.039><c> it</c><00:49:45.340><c> back</c><00:49:45.599><c> to</c><00:49:45.820><c> the</c><00:49:45.940><c> original.</c>

00:49:47.820 --> 00:49:50.239
If<00:49:48.059><c> you</c><00:49:48.219><c> look</c><00:49:48.400><c> at</c><00:49:48.519><c> Romans</c><00:49:48.920><c> 10,</c>

00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:06.079
Hosea<00:50:04.440><c> wasn't</c><00:50:04.659><c> the</c><00:50:04.860><c> first</c><00:50:05.079><c> one</c><00:50:05.219><c> to</c><00:50:05.380><c> use</c><00:50:05.480><c> that</c><00:50:05.719><c> expression,</c>

00:50:27.179 --> 00:50:27.619
Yes.

Verily<00:50:28.699><c> their</c><00:50:29.000><c> sound</c><00:50:29.300><c> went</c><00:50:29.500><c> into</c><00:50:29.699><c> all</c><00:50:30.139><c> the</c><00:50:30.340><c> earth,</c>

00:50:33.880 --> 00:50:37.860
But<00:50:34.059><c> I</c><00:50:34.360><c> say,</c><00:50:36.239><c> didn't</c><00:50:36.480><c> Israel</c><00:50:36.920><c> know?</c>

00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:45.679
First,<00:50:40.480><c> Moses</c><00:50:40.940><c> said,</c><00:50:42.659><c> I</c><00:50:43.019><c> will</c><00:50:43.280><c> provoke</c><00:50:43.679><c> you</c><00:50:43.880><c> to</c><00:50:44.019><c> jealousy</c><00:50:44.699><c> by</c>

00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:48.940
them<00:50:45.980><c> that</c><00:50:46.320><c> are,</c><00:50:47.480><c> lo</c><00:50:47.699><c> am</c><00:50:47.900><c> I,</c>

00:50:49.420 --> 00:50:52.440
and<00:50:49.980><c> by</c><00:50:50.199><c> a</c><00:50:50.380><c> foolish</c><00:50:50.619><c> nation</c><00:50:51.320><c> will</c><00:50:51.760><c> I</c><00:50:51.980><c> anger</c><00:50:52.099><c> you.</c>

00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:57.440
It<00:50:53.219><c> was</c><00:50:53.639><c> Moses</c><00:50:54.219><c> who</c><00:50:54.860><c> first</c><00:50:55.320><c> used</c><00:50:55.659><c> the</c><00:50:55.800><c> expression</c><00:50:56.340><c> of</c><00:50:56.780><c> lo</c><00:50:56.980><c> am</c><00:50:57.219><c> I</c>

00:50:57.440 --> 00:50:59.539
for<00:50:57.719><c> the</c><00:50:57.980><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:51:00.179 --> 00:51:02.199
That<00:51:00.380><c> was</c><00:51:00.659><c> a</c><00:51:01.000><c> Gentile</c><00:51:01.760><c> term.</c>

00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:04.760
That's<00:51:02.800><c> where</c><00:51:02.960><c> God</c><00:51:03.239><c> identified</c><00:51:03.800><c> the</c><00:51:04.099><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:51:05.019 --> 00:51:08.360
So<00:51:05.099><c> that</c><00:51:05.199><c> when</c><00:51:05.519><c> Hosea</c><00:51:05.840><c> said</c><00:51:06.360><c> that</c><00:51:07.000><c> Israel</c><00:51:07.300><c> were</c><00:51:07.579><c> lo</c><00:51:07.840><c> am</c><00:51:08.039><c> I,</c>

00:51:08.519 --> 00:51:10.400
they<00:51:08.760><c> became</c><00:51:09.119><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:51:12.699 --> 00:51:15.280
Hosea<00:51:13.199><c> had</c><00:51:13.420><c> used</c><00:51:13.679><c> the</c><00:51:13.860><c> figure</c><00:51:14.039><c> of</c><00:51:14.260><c> Moses</c><00:51:14.599><c> and</c><00:51:14.840><c> he</c><00:51:14.960><c> had</c><00:51:15.139><c> applied</c>

00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:15.940
it<00:51:15.440><c> to</c><00:51:15.519><c> Israel.</c>

00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:18.559
All<00:51:16.679><c> Paul</c><00:51:16.900><c> did</c><00:51:17.119><c> was</c><00:51:17.320><c> to</c><00:51:17.500><c> take</c><00:51:17.579><c> it</c><00:51:17.820><c> back</c><00:51:17.980><c> to</c><00:51:18.179><c> the</c><00:51:18.260><c> original</c>

00:51:18.559 --> 00:51:21.139
and<00:51:18.940><c> make</c><00:51:19.139><c> the</c><00:51:19.360><c> original</c><00:51:19.659><c> application</c><00:51:20.300><c> through</c><00:51:20.559><c> Hosea.</c>

00:51:21.139 --> 00:51:25.139
First<00:51:22.000><c> of</c><00:51:22.300><c> all,</c><00:51:22.780><c> Moses</c><00:51:22.860><c> applied</c><00:51:23.260><c> that</c><00:51:23.539><c> to</c><00:51:23.699><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:27.760
So<00:51:25.739><c> there's</c><00:51:26.199><c> Paul's</c><00:51:26.760><c> authority.</c>

00:51:28.099 --> 00:51:29.739
Oh,<00:51:28.360><c> it's</c><00:51:28.639><c> absolutely</c><00:51:29.000><c> glorious.</c>

00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:33.500
And<00:51:30.280><c> so</c><00:51:30.460><c> Moses</c><00:51:30.900><c> said</c><00:51:31.219><c> that</c><00:51:31.440><c> God</c><00:51:31.679><c> would</c><00:51:32.000><c> anger</c><00:51:32.320><c> Israel</c><00:51:32.900><c> with</c><00:51:33.280><c> a</c>

00:51:33.500 --> 00:51:35.219
foolish<00:51:33.760><c> nation</c><00:51:34.179><c> called</c><00:51:34.519><c> lo</c><00:51:34.840><c> am</c><00:51:35.019><c> I.</c>

00:51:35.380 --> 00:51:37.500
And<00:51:35.579><c> they</c><00:51:35.699><c> were</c><00:51:35.820><c> the</c><00:51:36.000><c> Gentiles</c><00:51:36.360><c> and</c><00:51:36.559><c> provoked</c><00:51:36.860><c> them</c><00:51:37.059><c> to</c><00:51:37.199><c> jealousy.</c>

00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:41.059
And<00:51:37.920><c> that's</c><00:51:38.139><c> why</c><00:51:38.360><c> Paul</c><00:51:38.619><c> applies</c><00:51:39.000><c> that</c><00:51:39.300><c> in</c><00:51:39.500><c> Romans</c><00:51:39.840><c> 11.</c>

00:51:42.179 --> 00:51:45.039
Because<00:51:42.480><c> that's</c><00:51:42.900><c> exactly</c><00:51:43.420><c> the</c><00:51:43.679><c> application</c><00:51:44.199><c> that</c><00:51:44.460><c> Paul</c><00:51:44.659><c> has,</c>

00:51:45.139 --> 00:51:48.940
that<00:51:45.500><c> Moses</c><00:51:45.820><c> has</c><00:51:46.079><c> rather</c><00:51:46.280><c> in</c><00:51:46.460><c> the</c><00:51:46.679><c> 32nd</c><00:51:47.260><c> chapter</c><00:51:47.539><c> of</c><00:51:47.699><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:51:48.019><c> in</c><00:51:48.179><c> verse</c><00:51:48.440><c> 21.</c>

00:51:48.940 --> 00:51:50.920
He's<00:51:49.340><c> the</c><00:51:49.599><c> first</c><00:51:49.880><c> one</c><00:51:50.119><c> to</c><00:51:50.280><c> use</c><00:51:50.480><c> it.</c>

00:51:51.219 --> 00:51:53.599
Hosea<00:51:51.519><c> is</c><00:51:51.719><c> the</c><00:51:51.960><c> springboard</c><00:51:52.519><c> onto</c><00:51:53.099><c> Romans</c>

00:51:57.380 --> 00:51:59.219

00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:04.019

the<00:52:18.800><c> Jew</c>

00:52:31.400 --> 00:52:33.460
It's<00:52:31.780><c> really</c><00:52:32.199><c> great</c><00:52:32.480><c> when</c><00:52:32.639><c> you</c><00:52:32.800><c> see</c><00:52:32.920><c> it</c><00:52:33.079><c> like</c><00:52:33.300><c> that.</c>

00:52:33.539 --> 00:52:35.119
There's<00:52:33.780><c> no</c><00:52:33.920><c> doubt</c><00:52:34.039><c> about</c><00:52:34.360><c> that.</c>

00:53:28.239 --> 00:53:30.719
for<00:53:28.400><c> the</c><00:53:28.539><c> Lord</c><00:53:28.780><c> Yahweh</c><00:53:29.199><c> of</c><00:53:29.420><c> armies</c><00:53:29.619><c> shall</c><00:53:29.840><c> make</c><00:53:30.079><c> a</c><00:53:30.380><c> consumption</c>

00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:33.840
even<00:53:31.059><c> determined</c><00:53:31.599><c> in</c><00:53:31.940><c> the</c><00:53:32.139><c> midst</c><00:53:32.440><c> of</c><00:53:32.739><c> the</c><00:53:32.960><c> land.</c>

00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:39.079
Now<00:53:35.579><c> Paul's</c><00:53:36.239><c> words</c><00:53:36.500><c> are</c><00:53:37.139><c> in</c><00:53:37.659><c> Romans,</c>

00:53:39.960 --> 00:53:41.940
Isaiah<00:53:40.480><c> cries</c><00:53:40.980><c> concerning</c><00:53:41.480><c> Israel,</c>

00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:49.760
and<00:53:47.820><c> cut</c><00:53:48.019><c> it</c><00:53:48.340><c> short</c><00:53:48.500><c> in</c><00:53:48.800><c> righteousness,</c>

00:53:55.219 --> 00:53:57.139
So<00:53:55.440><c> you</c><00:53:55.539><c> see</c><00:53:55.639><c> the</c><00:53:55.860><c> point</c><00:53:55.980><c> that</c><00:53:56.099><c> he's</c><00:53:56.280><c> making?</c>

00:53:57.239 --> 00:53:59.460
Hosea<00:53:57.579><c> said</c><00:53:57.900><c> that</c><00:53:58.079><c> when</c><00:53:58.219><c> Israel</c><00:53:58.460><c> would</c><00:53:58.699><c> be</c><00:53:58.900><c> cast</c><00:53:59.139><c> off,</c>

00:53:59.780 --> 00:54:04.539
they<00:54:00.260><c> would</c><00:54:00.679><c> become</c><00:54:01.320><c> as</c><00:54:01.900><c> the</c><00:54:02.280><c> sand</c><00:54:02.760><c> of</c><00:54:03.179><c> the</c><00:54:03.579><c> sea.</c>

00:54:05.059 --> 00:54:08.000
But<00:54:05.579><c> Isaiah</c><00:54:06.099><c> says,</c>

00:54:08.679 --> 00:54:10.659
though<00:54:08.960><c> they</c><00:54:09.360><c> be</c><00:54:09.539><c> as</c><00:54:09.719><c> the</c><00:54:09.900><c> sand</c><00:54:10.039><c> of</c><00:54:10.219><c> the</c><00:54:10.400><c> sea,</c>

00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:13.219
only<00:54:11.440><c> a</c><00:54:11.659><c> remnant</c><00:54:11.880><c> would</c><00:54:12.119><c> be</c><00:54:12.400><c> saved.</c>

00:54:15.099 --> 00:54:18.159
So<00:54:15.320><c> if</c><00:54:15.420><c> they</c><00:54:15.659><c> thought</c><00:54:15.840><c> from</c><00:54:16.139><c> Hosea</c><00:54:16.940><c> that</c><00:54:17.420><c> the</c><00:54:17.679><c> expression</c>

00:54:18.159 --> 00:54:20.559
the<00:54:18.480><c> sand</c><00:54:18.679><c> of</c><00:54:18.880><c> the</c><00:54:19.039><c> sea</c><00:54:19.199><c> meant</c><00:54:19.440><c> that</c><00:54:19.599><c> they'd</c><00:54:19.719><c> all</c><00:54:19.880><c> be</c><00:54:20.119><c> saved,</c>

00:54:20.980 --> 00:54:24.940
Isaiah<00:54:21.420><c> said</c><00:54:21.699><c> that</c><00:54:22.099><c> though</c><00:54:22.500><c> they</c><00:54:22.800><c> were</c><00:54:23.099><c> the</c><00:54:23.159><c> sand</c><00:54:23.440><c> of</c><00:54:23.599><c> the</c><00:54:24.840><c> sea,</c>

00:54:25.119 --> 00:54:27.139
yet<00:54:25.119><c> a</c><00:54:25.440><c> remnant</c><00:54:25.639><c> only</c><00:54:25.900><c> would</c><00:54:26.119><c> be</c><00:54:26.340><c> saved.</c>

00:54:27.420 --> 00:54:30.340
Why<00:54:27.820><c> does</c><00:54:28.000><c> he</c><00:54:28.179><c> use</c><00:54:28.340><c> the</c><00:54:28.519><c> expression</c><00:54:28.940><c> sand</c><00:54:29.579><c> of</c><00:54:29.840><c> the</c><00:54:30.099><c> sea?</c>

00:54:30.340 --> 00:54:34.079
Because<00:54:30.880><c> that's</c><00:54:31.320><c> taken</c><00:54:31.599><c> out</c><00:54:31.780><c> of</c><00:54:31.900><c> the</c><00:54:32.179><c> promises</c><00:54:32.440><c> made</c><00:54:32.679><c> to</c><00:54:33.000><c> Abraham,</c>

00:54:35.199 --> 00:54:37.559
which<00:54:35.360><c> Isaiah</c><00:54:35.900><c> expounds</c><00:54:36.500><c> to</c><00:54:36.780><c> mean,</c>

00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:41.420
or<00:54:37.800><c> rather</c><00:54:38.179><c> not</c><00:54:38.480><c> to</c><00:54:38.719><c> mean,</c><00:54:39.300><c> all</c><00:54:39.480><c> Israel</c><00:54:40.000><c> in</c><00:54:40.460><c> total,</c>

00:54:42.099 --> 00:54:44.739
but<00:54:42.199><c> a</c><00:54:42.440><c> great</c><00:54:42.659><c> multitude</c><00:54:43.280><c> which</c><00:54:43.619><c> God</c><00:54:43.860><c> will</c><00:54:44.219><c> select</c>

00:54:44.739 --> 00:54:46.619
from<00:54:45.159><c> Jewry</c><00:54:45.639><c> and</c><00:54:45.980><c> from</c><00:54:46.199><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:54:46.699 --> 00:54:49.800
So<00:54:46.940><c> it's</c><00:54:47.119><c> not</c><00:54:47.480><c> to</c><00:54:47.679><c> be</c><00:54:47.860><c> taken</c><00:54:48.300><c> in</c><00:54:49.019><c> the</c><00:54:49.179><c> sense</c><00:54:49.360><c> that</c><00:54:49.519><c> it</c><00:54:49.639><c> means</c>

00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:50.400
all<00:54:50.000><c> Israel.</c>

00:54:50.780 --> 00:54:54.179
So<00:54:50.900><c> Hosea</c><00:54:51.199><c> might</c><00:54:51.460><c> have</c><00:54:51.619><c> said</c><00:54:51.820><c> that,</c><00:54:52.300><c> but</c><00:54:52.500><c> Isaiah</c><00:54:52.840><c> said</c><00:54:53.159><c> that.</c>

00:54:54.760 --> 00:54:56.119
So<00:54:54.920><c> this</c><00:54:55.039><c> is</c><00:54:55.119><c> what</c><00:54:55.239><c> the</c><00:54:55.460><c> apostle</c><00:54:55.719><c> is</c><00:54:55.960><c> saying,</c>

00:54:56.199 --> 00:54:58.260
and<00:54:56.340><c> so</c><00:54:56.559><c> only</c><00:54:56.960><c> a</c><00:54:57.280><c> remnant</c><00:54:57.539><c> would</c><00:54:57.739><c> be</c><00:54:57.980><c> saved.</c>

00:54:58.260 --> 00:55:01.900
Now<00:54:58.719><c> in</c><00:54:59.059><c> Romans</c><00:54:59.420><c> the</c><00:54:59.619><c> word</c><00:55:00.000><c> finish</c><00:55:00.739><c> the</c><00:55:00.980><c> work</c>

00:55:02.039 --> 00:55:05.400
really<00:55:02.639><c> means</c><00:55:03.019><c> in</c><00:55:03.380><c> the</c><00:55:03.619><c> Greek</c><00:55:03.800><c> to</c><00:55:04.320><c> fulfill.</c>

00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:08.840
And<00:55:06.019><c> the</c><00:55:06.119><c> word</c><00:55:06.460><c> work</c><00:55:06.860><c> is</c><00:55:07.159><c> the</c><00:55:07.260><c> word</c><00:55:07.480><c> logos.</c>

00:55:10.480 --> 00:55:13.119
So<00:55:10.539><c> when</c><00:55:10.760><c> the</c><00:55:11.000><c> time</c><00:55:11.239><c> comes</c><00:55:11.699><c> for</c><00:55:11.960><c> the</c><00:55:12.139><c> kingdom,</c>

00:55:13.420 --> 00:55:16.880
it<00:55:13.420><c> will</c><00:55:13.659><c> be</c><00:55:13.840><c> found</c><00:55:14.099><c> that</c><00:55:14.380><c> Yahweh</c><00:55:14.760><c> will</c><00:55:15.280><c> fulfill</c><00:55:15.639><c> his</c><00:55:15.960><c> word.</c>

00:55:16.900 --> 00:55:18.900
And<00:55:17.099><c> the</c><00:55:17.280><c> fulfillment</c><00:55:17.679><c> of</c><00:55:17.840><c> the</c><00:55:18.019><c> Bible</c><00:55:18.260><c> means</c>

00:55:18.900 --> 00:55:21.280
that<00:55:19.360><c> not</c><00:55:19.519><c> all</c><00:55:19.699><c> Jews</c><00:55:19.920><c> will</c><00:55:20.079><c> be</c><00:55:20.199><c> in</c><00:55:20.300><c> the</c><00:55:20.420><c> kingdom.</c>

00:55:21.980 --> 00:55:23.300
So<00:55:22.219><c> they</c><00:55:22.400><c> thought</c><00:55:22.579><c> it</c><00:55:22.739><c> would</c><00:55:22.920><c> be.</c>

00:55:23.699 --> 00:55:25.239
So<00:55:23.920><c> he'll</c><00:55:24.260><c> fulfill</c><00:55:24.559><c> his</c><00:55:24.860><c> word.</c>

00:55:25.619 --> 00:55:27.719
God's<00:55:26.079><c> purpose</c><00:55:26.300><c> will</c><00:55:26.639><c> come</c><00:55:26.900><c> to</c><00:55:27.099><c> a</c><00:55:27.260><c> finality.</c>

00:55:27.719 --> 00:55:29.179
Did<00:55:28.280><c> Israel</c><00:55:28.400><c> disbelieve</c><00:55:28.960><c> God?</c>

00:55:29.239 --> 00:55:30.760
Did<00:55:29.400><c> God's</c><00:55:29.739><c> purpose</c><00:55:30.000><c> stop</c><00:55:30.320><c> because</c><00:55:30.539><c> of</c><00:55:30.639><c> that?</c>

00:55:30.860 --> 00:55:31.719
No,<00:55:31.219><c> says</c><00:55:31.320><c> the</c><00:55:31.500><c> apostle.</c>

00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:33.619
This<00:55:31.920><c> is</c><00:55:32.019><c> how</c><00:55:32.039><c> he</c><00:55:32.260><c> started</c><00:55:32.519><c> this</c><00:55:32.780><c> section.</c>

00:55:33.659 --> 00:55:35.920
The<00:55:33.699><c> fact</c><00:55:33.880><c> of</c><00:55:34.039><c> Israel's</c><00:55:34.579><c> disbelief</c><00:55:35.079><c> didn't</c><00:55:35.400><c> stop</c><00:55:35.639><c> God,</c>

00:55:35.920 --> 00:55:37.300
brethren<00:55:36.199><c> and</c><00:55:36.420><c> sisters,</c>

00:55:38.099 --> 00:55:40.039
didn't<00:55:38.539><c> stop</c><00:55:38.760><c> God's</c><00:55:39.159><c> purpose</c><00:55:39.380><c> from</c><00:55:39.619><c> going</c><00:55:39.800><c> on.</c>

00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:41.739
He<00:55:40.440><c> will</c><00:55:40.639><c> fulfill</c><00:55:41.059><c> the</c><00:55:41.300><c> logos.</c>

00:55:41.880 --> 00:55:43.860
And<00:55:42.039><c> it</c><00:55:42.139><c> will</c><00:55:42.400><c> mean</c><00:55:42.679><c> that</c><00:55:42.880><c> only</c><00:55:43.099><c> a</c><00:55:43.260><c> remnant</c><00:55:43.440><c> of</c><00:55:43.579><c> Israel</c>

00:55:45.420 --> 00:55:48.739
But<00:55:45.639><c> God's</c><00:55:46.039><c> word</c><00:55:46.179><c> is</c><00:55:46.440><c> fulfilled</c><00:55:46.840><c> because</c><00:55:47.079><c> that's</c><00:55:47.380><c> what</c><00:55:47.539><c> he</c><00:55:47.780><c> said.</c>

00:55:49.659 --> 00:55:51.559
And<00:55:49.739><c> there's</c><00:55:49.920><c> a</c><00:55:50.039><c> fourth</c><00:55:50.239><c> point,</c><00:55:50.639><c> beautiful</c><00:55:51.139><c> really.</c>

00:55:51.960 --> 00:55:55.820
Then<00:55:52.099><c> of</c><00:55:52.260><c> course</c><00:55:52.360><c> he</c><00:55:52.500><c> quotes</c><00:55:52.780><c> Isaiah</c><00:55:53.199><c> 1</c><00:55:53.480><c> and</c><00:55:53.659><c> verse</c><00:55:53.880><c> 9,</c>

00:55:56.179 --> 00:55:58.219
which<00:55:56.619><c> is</c><00:55:56.800><c> his</c><00:55:56.980><c> final</c><00:55:57.340><c> reference</c><00:55:57.760><c> to</c><00:55:58.019><c> show</c>

00:56:06.619 --> 00:56:08.900
And<00:56:06.679><c> Isaiah</c><00:56:07.000><c> 1</c><00:56:07.239><c> and</c><00:56:07.400><c> verse</c><00:56:07.579><c> 9</c><00:56:07.940><c> said,</c>

00:56:09.420 --> 00:56:12.900
except<00:56:09.480><c> Yahweh</c><00:56:09.940><c> of</c><00:56:10.179><c> armies</c><00:56:10.420><c> had</c><00:56:10.639><c> left</c><00:56:10.860><c> us</c><00:56:11.119><c> a</c><00:56:11.179><c> very</c><00:56:11.559><c> small</c><00:56:11.840><c> remnant,</c>

00:56:13.260 --> 00:56:15.480
we<00:56:13.400><c> should</c><00:56:13.599><c> have</c><00:56:13.760><c> been</c><00:56:13.960><c> as</c><00:56:14.300><c> Sodom</c><00:56:14.539><c> and</c><00:56:14.900><c> we</c><00:56:15.019><c> would</c><00:56:15.219><c> have</c><00:56:15.380><c> been</c>

00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:17.420
like<00:56:15.800><c> Gomorrah.</c>

00:56:18.239 --> 00:56:20.179
Except<00:56:18.559><c> he'd</c><00:56:18.760><c> left</c><00:56:18.900><c> us</c><00:56:19.099><c> a</c><00:56:19.119><c> very</c><00:56:19.519><c> small</c><00:56:19.760><c> remnant,</c>

00:56:21.900 --> 00:56:25.039
So<00:56:22.400><c> again,</c><00:56:23.099><c> the</c><00:56:23.099><c> emphasis</c><00:56:23.519><c> is</c><00:56:23.840><c> upon</c><00:56:24.019><c> only</c><00:56:24.480><c> a</c><00:56:24.659><c> remnant</c><00:56:24.900><c> of</c>

00:56:25.039 --> 00:56:26.780
Israel<00:56:25.460><c> being</c><00:56:25.900><c> saved.</c>

00:56:27.159 --> 00:56:30.380
You<00:56:27.199><c> know,</c><00:56:27.480><c> brethren</c><00:56:27.619><c> and</c><00:56:27.820><c> sisters,</c><00:56:28.039><c> Paul's</c><00:56:28.559><c> quotation</c><00:56:28.980><c> is,</c>

00:56:30.420 --> 00:56:32.300
except<00:56:30.460><c> he</c><00:56:30.639><c> had</c><00:56:30.760><c> left</c><00:56:30.900><c> us</c><00:56:31.179><c> a</c><00:56:31.519><c> seed.</c>

00:56:32.679 --> 00:56:34.019
Same<00:56:33.099><c> thing.</c>

00:56:34.619 --> 00:56:37.599
Because<00:56:35.019><c> if</c><00:56:35.380><c> you</c><00:56:35.480><c> look</c><00:56:35.619><c> at</c><00:56:35.780><c> Isaiah</c><00:56:36.099><c> 6</c><00:56:36.440><c> and</c><00:56:36.579><c> verse</c><00:56:36.780><c> 13</c><00:56:37.079><c> in</c><00:56:37.280><c> your</c><00:56:37.440><c> leisure,</c>

00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:39.719
you'll<00:56:37.940><c> find</c><00:56:38.059><c> that</c><00:56:38.179><c> there's</c><00:56:38.320><c> an</c><00:56:38.579><c> equation</c><00:56:38.920><c> between</c><00:56:39.300><c> the</c><00:56:39.599><c> seed</c>

00:56:39.719 --> 00:56:40.300
and<00:56:39.860><c> the</c><00:56:40.059><c> remnant.</c>

00:56:40.579 --> 00:56:42.260
The<00:56:40.739><c> seed</c><00:56:40.920><c> of</c><00:56:41.119><c> Abraham</c><00:56:41.360><c> will</c><00:56:41.519><c> only</c><00:56:41.679><c> be</c><00:56:41.860><c> a</c><00:56:42.039><c> remnant,</c>

00:56:42.400 --> 00:56:44.940
and<00:56:42.559><c> the</c><00:56:42.760><c> remnant</c><00:56:42.900><c> will</c><00:56:43.079><c> be</c><00:56:43.260><c> saved</c><00:56:43.380><c> to</c><00:56:43.500><c> be</c><00:56:43.639><c> the</c><00:56:43.739><c> seed</c><00:56:43.880><c> of</c><00:56:44.139><c> Abraham.</c>

00:56:45.159 --> 00:56:48.599
So<00:56:45.360><c> when</c><00:56:45.539><c> Paul</c><00:56:45.800><c> uses</c><00:56:46.159><c> seed</c><00:56:46.480><c> for</c><00:56:46.699><c> remnant</c><00:56:46.940><c> of</c><00:56:47.179><c> Isaiah</c><00:56:47.619><c> 1</c><00:56:47.860><c> and</c><00:56:47.980><c> verse</c><00:56:48.219><c> 9,</c>

00:56:48.599 --> 00:56:52.079
he's<00:56:49.280><c> bringing</c><00:56:49.699><c> forth</c><00:56:50.039><c> the</c><00:56:50.280><c> equation</c><00:56:50.679><c> which</c><00:56:51.099><c> Isaiah</c><00:56:51.539><c> himself</c>

00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:52.760
had<00:56:52.280><c> established.</c>

00:56:53.219 --> 00:56:54.679
So<00:56:53.219><c> there's</c><00:56:53.400><c> no</c><00:56:53.519><c> need</c><00:56:53.639><c> to</c><00:56:53.800><c> worry</c><00:56:53.980><c> about</c><00:56:54.159><c> the</c><00:56:54.360><c> difference</c><00:56:54.500><c> in</c>

00:56:54.679 --> 00:56:54.960
the<00:56:54.820><c> words.</c>

00:56:55.059 --> 00:56:56.480
It's<00:56:55.179><c> the</c><00:56:55.280><c> same</c><00:56:55.440><c> thing.</c>

00:56:56.619 --> 00:56:58.699
It's<00:56:56.619><c> only</c><00:56:56.800><c> a</c><00:56:57.079><c> remnant</c><00:56:57.320><c> that</c><00:56:57.420><c> will</c><00:56:57.579><c> be</c><00:56:57.820><c> saved.</c>

00:56:58.719 --> 00:57:00.440
He<00:56:58.800><c> said,</c><00:56:59.059><c> if</c><00:56:59.059><c> God</c><00:56:59.320><c> hadn't</c><00:56:59.480><c> have</c><00:56:59.659><c> done</c><00:56:59.820><c> that,</c><00:57:00.119><c> we'd</c><00:57:00.260><c> have</c><00:57:00.360><c> been</c>

00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:01.880

00:57:02.199 --> 00:57:04.760
And<00:57:02.340><c> brethren</c><00:57:02.539><c> and</c><00:57:02.780><c> sisters,</c><00:57:03.000><c> he</c><00:57:03.199><c> doesn't</c><00:57:03.500><c> only</c><00:57:03.860><c> mean</c><00:57:04.079><c> by</c><00:57:04.400><c> that</c>

00:57:04.760 --> 00:57:06.639
that<00:57:05.099><c> Israel</c><00:57:05.380><c> would</c><00:57:05.500><c> have</c><00:57:05.659><c> been</c><00:57:05.699><c> totally</c><00:57:06.019><c> destroyed,</c>

00:57:06.900 --> 00:57:09.199

00:57:09.599 --> 00:57:10.320
But<00:57:09.739><c> you</c><00:57:09.860><c> know</c><00:57:10.019><c> something?</c>

00:57:10.460 --> 00:57:13.099
If<00:57:10.699><c> God</c><00:57:11.019><c> hadn't</c><00:57:11.239><c> have</c><00:57:11.420><c> worked</c><00:57:11.639><c> upon</c><00:57:11.900><c> the</c><00:57:12.079><c> nation,</c>

00:57:15.059 --> 00:57:17.579
they<00:57:15.239><c> would</c><00:57:15.400><c> have</c><00:57:15.559><c> all</c><00:57:15.780><c> been</c><00:57:16.039><c> morally</c><00:57:16.440><c> like</c><00:57:16.739><c> Sodom</c><00:57:17.039><c> and</c><00:57:17.139><c> Gomorrah</c>

00:57:17.579 --> 00:57:20.340
because<00:57:18.019><c> the</c><00:57:18.199><c> very</c><00:57:18.579><c> next</c><00:57:19.059><c> verse</c><00:57:19.360><c> says,</c>

00:57:20.480 --> 00:57:23.579
Hear<00:57:20.480><c> the</c><00:57:20.659><c> word</c><00:57:20.940><c> of</c><00:57:21.199><c> Yahweh,</c><00:57:21.739><c> ye</c><00:57:21.920><c> rulers</c><00:57:22.400><c> of</c><00:57:22.800><c> Sodom,</c>

00:57:23.880 --> 00:57:26.619

00:57:26.619 --> 00:57:28.579
And<00:57:26.739><c> he</c><00:57:26.860><c> wasn't</c><00:57:27.159><c> talking</c><00:57:27.480><c> to</c><00:57:27.619><c> the</c><00:57:27.739><c> people</c><00:57:27.960><c> of</c><00:57:28.119><c> Sodom</c><00:57:28.320><c> and</c><00:57:28.400><c> Gomorrah.</c>

00:57:28.639 --> 00:57:31.119
They<00:57:28.739><c> were</c><00:57:29.039><c> dead.</c><00:57:29.400><c> He</c><00:57:29.500><c> was</c><00:57:29.679><c> talking</c><00:57:29.860><c> to</c><00:57:30.059><c> Israel.</c>

00:57:31.480 --> 00:57:34.079
And<00:57:31.599><c> so</c><00:57:31.739><c> the</c><00:57:31.960><c> people</c><00:57:32.179><c> were</c><00:57:32.519><c> morally</c><00:57:32.920><c> like</c><00:57:33.199><c> Sodom</c><00:57:33.500><c> and</c><00:57:33.639><c> Gomorrah.</c>

00:57:34.260 --> 00:57:37.659

So<00:57:40.420><c> the</c><00:57:40.579><c> two</c><00:57:40.860><c> points</c><00:57:41.079><c> have</c><00:57:41.340><c> proven</c>

00:57:41.559 --> 00:57:43.860
that<00:57:42.159><c> if</c><00:57:42.420><c> God</c><00:57:42.699><c> hadn't</c><00:57:42.940><c> have</c><00:57:43.119><c> worked</c><00:57:43.300><c> upon</c><00:57:43.480><c> the</c><00:57:43.659><c> nation,</c>

00:57:43.900 --> 00:57:46.360
they<00:57:43.960><c> would</c><00:57:44.079><c> have</c><00:57:44.260><c> become</c><00:57:44.539><c> totally</c><00:57:44.920><c> extinct</c><00:57:45.320><c> like</c><00:57:45.599><c> Sodom</c><00:57:45.860><c> and</c><00:57:46.000><c> Gomorrah,</c>

00:57:46.360 --> 00:57:48.699
and<00:57:46.659><c> if</c><00:57:46.860><c> God's</c><00:57:47.320><c> influence</c><00:57:47.679><c> hadn't</c><00:57:47.840><c> have</c><00:57:47.980><c> been</c><00:57:48.059><c> among</c><00:57:48.300><c> the</c><00:57:48.440><c> nations,</c>

00:57:48.800 --> 00:57:51.679
they'd<00:57:48.940><c> have</c><00:57:49.019><c> been</c><00:57:49.260><c> morally</c><00:57:49.639><c> like</c><00:57:49.960><c> Sodom</c><00:57:50.219><c> and</c><00:57:50.320><c> Gomorrah</c><00:57:50.639><c> anyway.</c>

00:57:51.840 --> 00:57:55.440
So<00:57:51.920><c> it's</c><00:57:52.139><c> the</c><00:57:52.280><c> work</c><00:57:52.400><c> of</c><00:57:52.559><c> the</c><00:57:52.760><c> potter</c><00:57:53.219><c> that</c><00:57:53.519><c> develops</c><00:57:53.860><c> the</c><00:57:54.099><c> vessels</c><00:57:54.320><c> of</c><00:57:54.579><c> mercy.</c>

00:57:55.900 --> 00:57:58.619
And<00:57:55.940><c> this</c><00:57:56.099><c> is</c><00:57:56.260><c> the</c><00:57:56.500><c> argument</c><00:57:56.719><c> that</c><00:57:56.880><c> he</c><00:57:56.940><c> has</c><00:57:57.239><c> in</c><00:57:57.599><c> those</c><00:57:57.840><c> sections.</c>

00:57:59.099 --> 00:58:00.280
So<00:57:59.179><c> just</c><00:57:59.440><c> summarizing</c><00:57:59.960><c> then,</c>

00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:02.320
we<00:58:00.739><c> won't</c><00:58:00.980><c> carry</c><00:58:01.239><c> on</c><00:58:01.380><c> with</c><00:58:01.539><c> the</c><00:58:01.639><c> rest</c><00:58:01.820><c> of</c><00:58:01.860><c> it</c><00:58:01.940><c> because</c><00:58:02.139><c> it's</c>

00:58:02.320 --> 00:58:02.780
too<00:58:02.659><c> big.</c>

00:58:02.880 --> 00:58:05.239
We've<00:58:02.940><c> got</c><00:58:03.119><c> a</c><00:58:03.300><c> massive</c><00:58:03.579><c> section</c><00:58:03.920><c> in</c><00:58:04.139><c> that</c><00:58:04.420><c> last</c><00:58:04.800><c> few</c><00:58:05.000><c> verses</c>

00:58:05.239 --> 00:58:06.260
of<00:58:05.460><c> Isaiah,</c>

00:58:06.639 --> 00:58:09.039
Romans<00:58:07.059><c> rather,</c><00:58:07.539><c> which</c><00:58:07.579><c> is</c><00:58:07.719><c> actually</c><00:58:08.000><c> Isaiah</c><00:58:08.300><c> 51.</c>

00:58:09.280 --> 00:58:11.119
But<00:58:09.519><c> this</c><00:58:09.760><c> is</c><00:58:09.860><c> what</c><00:58:09.980><c> he's</c><00:58:10.300><c> saying.</c>

00:58:13.119 --> 00:58:14.599
Some<00:58:13.539><c> Gentiles</c><00:58:14.059><c> will</c><00:58:14.219><c> be</c><00:58:14.420><c> called,</c>

00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:17.420
despite<00:58:15.119><c> the</c><00:58:15.320><c> fact</c><00:58:15.519><c> that</c><00:58:15.739><c> Jews</c><00:58:15.860><c> didn't</c><00:58:16.119><c> think</c><00:58:16.360><c> so.</c>

00:58:17.960 --> 00:58:20.360
And<00:58:18.119><c> only</c><00:58:18.619><c> a</c><00:58:19.039><c> remnant</c><00:58:19.320><c> of</c><00:58:19.559><c> Jews</c><00:58:19.719><c> would</c><00:58:19.960><c> be</c><00:58:20.179><c> called,</c>

00:58:20.460 --> 00:58:23.119
despite<00:58:20.960><c> the</c><00:58:21.159><c> fact</c><00:58:21.300><c> that</c><00:58:21.460><c> Jews</c><00:58:21.599><c> thought</c><00:58:21.800><c> they</c><00:58:22.039><c> all</c><00:58:22.239><c> would</c><00:58:22.460><c> be.</c>

00:58:24.019 --> 00:58:26.199
To<00:58:24.400><c> prove</c><00:58:24.679><c> that</c><00:58:24.920><c> some</c><00:58:25.199><c> Gentiles</c><00:58:25.599><c> would</c><00:58:25.760><c> be</c><00:58:25.980><c> called,</c>

00:58:26.400 --> 00:58:29.500
he<00:58:26.579><c> uses</c><00:58:26.960><c> a</c><00:58:27.260><c> Jewish</c><00:58:27.619><c> reference</c><00:58:28.059><c> in</c><00:58:28.320><c> Hosea.</c>

00:58:30.159 --> 00:58:32.219
And<00:58:30.320><c> the</c><00:58:30.519><c> reference</c><00:58:30.739><c> is</c><00:58:31.019><c> used</c><00:58:31.199><c> with</c><00:58:31.420><c> this</c><00:58:31.679><c> motive</c>

00:58:32.219 --> 00:58:35.280
that<00:58:32.800><c> if</c><00:58:32.980><c> the</c><00:58:33.179><c> Jew</c><00:58:33.300><c> can</c><00:58:33.679><c> see</c><00:58:33.960><c> that</c><00:58:34.139><c> he</c><00:58:34.320><c> was</c><00:58:34.500><c> once</c><00:58:34.820><c> cast</c><00:58:35.099><c> off</c>

00:58:35.280 --> 00:58:36.980
and<00:58:35.400><c> needed</c><00:58:35.659><c> God's</c><00:58:36.119><c> mercy,</c>

00:58:37.619 --> 00:58:40.420
that<00:58:37.699><c> if</c><00:58:37.820><c> he</c><00:58:37.960><c> wants</c><00:58:38.199><c> that</c><00:58:38.500><c> mercy,</c><00:58:38.880><c> he's</c><00:58:39.099><c> got</c><00:58:39.179><c> to</c><00:58:39.360><c> accept</c><00:58:39.699><c> the</c><00:58:39.940><c> fact</c>

00:58:40.420 --> 00:58:42.960

00:58:42.960 --> 00:58:45.820

00:58:48.880 --> 00:58:50.300

00:58:53.739 --> 00:58:55.159
He's<00:58:53.900><c> got</c><00:58:54.019><c> no</c><00:58:54.199><c> alternative.</c>

00:58:56.480 --> 00:58:58.619
