Back<00:11:23.940><c> in</c><00:11:24.340><c> chapter</c><00:11:24.720><c> 2,</c><00:11:25.620><c> there</c><00:11:25.759><c> was</c><00:11:25.960><c> a</c><00:11:26.240><c> section</c><00:11:26.840><c> that</c><00:11:29.019><c> had</c><00:11:29.279><c> to</c><00:11:29.519><c> do</c>

00:11:30.259 --> 00:11:36.659
with<00:11:30.960><c> the</c><00:11:31.419><c> treachery</c><00:11:32.120><c> of</c><00:11:32.320><c> the</c><00:11:32.580><c> men</c><00:11:32.980><c> of</c><00:11:33.320><c> Judah</c><00:11:33.679><c> against</c><00:11:35.360><c> their</c><00:11:35.720><c> wives.</c>

00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.120
We<00:11:38.259><c> need</c><00:11:38.399><c> to</c><00:11:38.539><c> look</c><00:11:38.700><c> at</c><00:11:38.820><c> that</c><00:11:39.059><c> section.</c>

00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:47.620
It<00:11:41.740><c> begins,</c><00:11:46.360><c> verse</c><00:11:46.419><c> 14.</c>

00:11:48.500 --> 00:11:50.399
Yet<00:11:48.779><c> she</c><00:11:49.000><c> say,</c><00:11:49.240><c> wherefore?</c>

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.679
Because<00:11:51.000><c> the</c><00:11:51.340><c> Lord</c><00:11:51.639><c> hath</c><00:11:51.980><c> been</c><00:11:52.720><c> witness</c><00:11:53.220><c> between</c><00:11:53.740><c> thee</c><00:11:54.240><c> and</c>

00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:56.419
the<00:11:54.879><c> wife</c><00:11:55.059><c> of</c><00:11:55.220><c> thy</c><00:11:55.460><c> youth,</c>

00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:05.279
Yet<00:12:01.159><c> she</c><00:12:01.659><c> is</c><00:12:02.000><c> thy</c><00:12:02.240><c> companion</c><00:12:02.899><c> and</c><00:12:03.179><c> the</c><00:12:03.419><c> wife</c><00:12:03.799><c> of</c><00:12:04.059><c> thy</c><00:12:04.240><c> covenant,</c>

00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:14.519
If<00:12:10.759><c> we</c><00:12:11.039><c> are</c><00:12:11.379><c> not</c><00:12:11.899><c> faithful</c><00:12:12.399><c> to</c><00:12:12.799><c> our</c><00:12:13.080><c> spouses,</c><00:12:13.580><c> brethren,</c>

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:29.460
That's<00:12:27.320><c> not</c><00:12:27.559><c> just</c><00:12:27.740><c> to</c><00:12:27.980><c> our</c><00:12:28.200><c> wives,</c><00:12:28.639><c> to</c><00:12:28.840><c> our</c><00:12:29.039><c> husbands.</c>

It's<00:12:29.759><c> to</c><00:12:29.940><c> our</c><00:12:30.159><c> children.</c><00:12:30.679><c> It's</c><00:12:30.840><c> to</c><00:12:31.000><c> our</c><00:12:31.200><c> friends</c><00:12:31.539><c> in</c><00:12:31.700><c> the</c><00:12:31.940><c> truth.</c>

00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:36.840
It's<00:12:33.600><c> to</c><00:12:33.779><c> our</c><00:12:34.059><c> employers,</c><00:12:34.879><c> etc.,</c><00:12:35.220><c> etc.</c>

00:12:37.500 --> 00:12:41.139
We<00:12:38.220><c> live</c><00:12:38.740><c> in</c><00:12:39.080><c> an</c><00:12:39.360><c> unfaithful</c><00:12:39.980><c> generation.</c>

00:12:42.139 --> 00:12:44.539
We<00:12:42.259><c> live</c><00:12:42.440><c> surrounded</c><00:12:42.940><c> by</c><00:12:43.240><c> unfaithfulness,</c>

00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:46.820
surrounded<00:12:45.179><c> by</c><00:12:45.620><c> immorality.</c>

00:12:47.700 --> 00:12:52.340
It<00:12:48.059><c> filters</c><00:12:48.440><c> into</c><00:12:48.700><c> the</c><00:12:48.960><c> truth</c><00:12:49.360><c> when</c><00:12:50.500><c> we</c><00:12:50.700><c> are</c><00:12:50.879><c> affected</c><00:12:51.240><c> by</c><00:12:51.500><c> it,</c>

00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:56.080
when<00:12:52.820><c> we</c><00:12:53.059><c> adopt</c><00:12:53.379><c> aspects</c><00:12:54.200><c> of</c><00:12:54.879><c> the</c><00:12:55.179><c> unfaithfulness</c>

00:12:58.929 --> 00:13:02.220
That<00:12:59.379><c> word</c><00:12:59.700><c> treacherously</c><00:13:00.500><c> is</c><00:13:00.720><c> an</c><00:13:00.919><c> ugly</c><00:13:01.179><c> word.</c>

00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:06.120
The<00:13:02.860><c> men</c><00:13:03.220><c> of</c><00:13:03.500><c> Judah</c><00:13:03.720><c> had</c><00:13:04.100><c> acted</c><00:13:04.559><c> treacherously</c><00:13:05.679><c> against</c>

their<00:13:06.399><c> wives.</c>

00:13:08.220 --> 00:13:12.220
The<00:13:08.379><c> word</c><00:13:08.539><c> means</c><00:13:09.200><c> to</c><00:13:09.860><c> act</c><00:13:10.580><c> covertly,</c>

00:13:45.019 --> 00:13:46.460
That's<00:13:45.340><c> what</c><00:13:45.419><c> it</c><00:13:45.559><c> means.</c>

00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.759

00:14:13.059 --> 00:14:13.899
Right?

00:14:14.419 --> 00:14:15.840
That's<00:14:14.700><c> why</c><00:14:14.799><c> when</c><00:14:15.000><c> Christ</c><00:14:15.399><c> said,</c>

Christ<00:18:01.339><c> tells</c><00:18:01.759><c> us,</c>

00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:04.920
he<00:18:03.259><c> who</c><00:18:03.500><c> has</c><00:18:03.839><c> not</c><00:18:04.200><c> sinned,</c>

00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:07.259
let<00:18:05.619><c> him</c><00:18:05.799><c> be</c><00:18:06.000><c> the</c><00:18:06.119><c> one</c><00:18:06.220><c> to</c><00:18:06.460><c> cast</c><00:18:06.619><c> the</c><00:18:06.819><c> first</c><00:18:07.039><c> stone.</c>

00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:09.880
In<00:18:07.539><c> our</c><00:18:07.839><c> minds,</c><00:18:08.200><c> it's</c><00:18:08.619><c> already</c><00:18:08.980><c> sin.</c>

00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:11.640
So<00:18:10.180><c> we</c><00:18:10.319><c> are</c><00:18:10.440><c> all</c><00:18:10.640><c> sinners,</c>

00:18:14.700 --> 00:18:16.259
Let's<00:18:14.940><c> not</c><00:18:15.140><c> judge</c><00:18:15.359><c> anyone</c><00:18:15.700><c> else,</c>

00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:31.759
But<00:18:30.440><c> brethren,</c><00:18:31.279><c> brethren,</c>

00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:35.339

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:45.180

00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.180
Don't<00:18:52.700><c> do</c><00:18:52.980><c> it.</c>

00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.539

00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:18.400
These<00:19:14.880><c> are</c><00:19:15.279><c> logical,</c><00:19:17.319><c> sensible,</c>

00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:22.440

00:19:23.339 --> 00:19:25.339
And<00:19:23.440><c> we</c><00:19:23.539><c> must</c><00:19:23.779><c> bear</c><00:19:23.940><c> them</c><00:19:24.119><c> in</c><00:19:24.319><c> mind.</c>

00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:27.000
All<00:19:25.920><c> of</c><00:19:26.079><c> us.</c>

00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:29.740
When<00:19:28.000><c> we</c><00:19:28.160><c> go</c><00:19:28.319><c> to</c><00:19:28.480><c> chapter</c><00:19:28.720><c> 3,</c><00:19:29.059><c> brothers</c><00:19:29.220><c> and</c><00:19:29.460><c> sisters,</c>

we<00:19:29.920><c> read,</c>

00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:34.819
Behold,<00:19:32.460><c> I</c><00:19:32.799><c> will</c><00:19:33.140><c> send</c><00:19:33.480><c> my</c><00:19:33.799><c> messenger,</c>

00:19:35.660 --> 00:19:37.700
and<00:19:35.759><c> he</c><00:19:35.980><c> shall</c><00:19:36.140><c> prepare</c><00:19:36.519><c> the</c><00:19:36.720><c> way</c><00:19:36.880><c> before</c><00:19:37.240><c> me,</c>

00:19:38.140 --> 00:19:40.279
and<00:19:38.259><c> the</c><00:19:38.519><c> Lord</c><00:19:39.220><c> whom</c><00:19:39.500><c> ye</c><00:19:39.799><c> seek</c>

00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.500

00:19:42.500 --> 00:19:44.779
So<00:19:43.680><c> who's</c><00:19:44.099><c> the</c><00:19:44.359><c> messenger?</c>

00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:45.900
What's<00:19:45.119><c> he</c><00:19:45.259><c> talking</c><00:19:45.539><c> about?</c>

00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:47.480
You<00:19:46.400><c> remember</c><00:19:46.779><c> in</c><00:19:46.960><c> the</c><00:19:47.019><c> New</c><00:19:47.180><c> Testament,</c>

00:19:47.539 --> 00:19:49.660
this<00:19:47.700><c> is</c><00:19:47.900><c> applied</c><00:19:48.160><c> to</c><00:19:48.359><c> John</c><00:19:48.519><c> the</c><00:19:48.720><c> Baptist.</c>

00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:52.359
I<00:19:50.640><c> will</c><00:19:50.859><c> send</c><00:19:51.079><c> my</c><00:19:51.339><c> messenger.</c>

00:19:52.859 --> 00:19:53.660
Right?

00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:57.220
There<00:19:54.980><c> was</c><00:19:55.240><c> a</c><00:19:55.460><c> man,</c><00:19:55.740><c> John</c><00:19:56.000><c> the</c><00:19:56.220><c> Baptist,</c>

00:19:57.579 --> 00:20:01.039
whose<00:19:57.740><c> whole</c><00:19:58.099><c> life</c><00:19:58.640><c> was</c><00:19:59.759><c> his</c><00:20:00.039><c> message.</c>

00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:02.779
That's<00:20:01.859><c> what</c><00:20:01.980><c> his</c><00:20:02.200><c> life</c><00:20:02.380><c> was,</c>

00:20:03.140 --> 00:20:06.619

00:20:06.940 --> 00:20:08.259
The<00:20:07.359><c> message</c><00:20:07.759><c> was,</c>

00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:10.980
the<00:20:08.900><c> Lord</c><00:20:09.160><c> is</c><00:20:09.480><c> coming</c><00:20:09.759><c> behind</c><00:20:10.359><c> me.</c>

00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:13.660
I'm<00:20:11.960><c> just</c><00:20:12.240><c> getting</c><00:20:12.480><c> the</c><00:20:12.680><c> way</c><00:20:12.799><c> ready</c><00:20:13.059><c> for</c><00:20:13.359><c> him.</c>

00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:15.279
That<00:20:13.940><c> was</c><00:20:14.119><c> his</c><00:20:14.339><c> life.</c>

00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:16.380
So<00:20:15.680><c> when</c><00:20:15.819><c> he</c><00:20:15.980><c> was</c><00:20:16.200><c> asked,</c>

00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:17.759
Are<00:20:16.720><c> you</c><00:20:16.940><c> this?</c><00:20:17.180><c> Are</c><00:20:17.339><c> you</c><00:20:17.460><c> that?</c>

00:20:17.819 --> 00:20:20.460
Are<00:20:17.940><c> you</c><00:20:18.960><c> the</c><00:20:19.400><c> prophet</c><00:20:19.759><c> that</c><00:20:20.059><c> should</c><00:20:20.180><c> come?</c>

00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:21.980
Are<00:20:20.700><c> you</c><00:20:20.880><c> the</c><00:20:21.039><c> Messiah?</c>

00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:23.279
He<00:20:22.500><c> said,</c><00:20:22.759><c> No.</c>

00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:26.119
I'm<00:20:24.059><c> just</c><00:20:24.680><c> a</c><00:20:25.000><c> voice.</c>

00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:28.319
That's<00:20:27.079><c> all</c><00:20:27.240><c> I</c><00:20:27.339><c> am.</c>

00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:31.480
That's<00:20:29.619><c> all</c><00:20:29.740><c> a</c><00:20:29.880><c> speaker</c><00:20:30.180><c> ever</c><00:20:30.519><c> is.</c>

00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:32.980
Just<00:20:31.920><c> a</c><00:20:32.119><c> voice.</c>

00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:35.920
That's<00:20:33.799><c> all</c><00:20:33.940><c> the</c><00:20:34.180><c> teaching</c><00:20:34.440><c> brethren</c><00:20:34.759><c> in</c><00:20:34.960><c> your</c><00:20:35.160><c> Ecclesia</c><00:20:35.579><c> are.</c>

00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:37.059
They're<00:20:36.279><c> just</c><00:20:36.579><c> voices.</c>

00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:38.779
Don't<00:20:37.440><c> look</c><00:20:37.660><c> for</c><00:20:37.900><c> perfection</c><00:20:38.279><c> in</c><00:20:38.539><c> them.</c>

00:20:38.779 --> 00:20:40.960
Don't<00:20:39.539><c> put</c><00:20:39.740><c> them</c><00:20:39.900><c> on</c><00:20:40.140><c> pedestals.</c>

00:20:41.420 --> 00:20:43.680
You<00:20:41.500><c> will</c><00:20:41.720><c> just</c><00:20:41.900><c> as</c><00:20:42.079><c> happily</c><00:20:42.380><c> throw</c><00:20:42.619><c> them</c><00:20:42.819><c> under</c><00:20:43.099><c> the</c><00:20:43.359><c> pedestal</c>

00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:45.299
when<00:20:43.819><c> you</c><00:20:44.000><c> see</c><00:20:44.119><c> they're</c><00:20:44.359><c> human.</c>

00:20:46.180 --> 00:20:47.079
Right?

00:20:47.579 --> 00:20:50.240
There<00:20:47.740><c> is</c><00:20:47.859><c> nothing</c><00:20:48.039><c> that</c><00:20:48.279><c> is</c><00:20:48.640><c> more</c><00:20:48.920><c> distrustful</c>

00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:52.509

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:02.839
It's<00:21:01.660><c> a</c><00:21:01.859><c> wonderful</c><00:21:02.299><c> thing</c>

00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:05.119
if<00:21:03.319><c> whatever</c><00:21:03.680><c> is</c><00:21:03.940><c> being</c><00:21:04.160><c> said</c><00:21:04.359><c> by</c><00:21:04.640><c> a</c><00:21:04.779><c> brother</c>

encourages<00:21:05.880><c> you.</c>

00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:07.299
But<00:21:06.480><c> it's</c><00:21:06.759><c> not</c><00:21:06.920><c> him.</c>

00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:09.059
It's<00:21:07.980><c> the</c><00:21:08.200><c> word.</c>

00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:11.619
It's<00:21:10.319><c> the</c><00:21:10.420><c> word</c><00:21:10.519><c> of</c><00:21:10.680><c> God</c><00:21:10.920><c> filtered</c><00:21:11.299><c> through</c>

00:21:11.619 --> 00:21:13.480
whatever<00:21:12.000><c> little</c><00:21:12.400><c> experience</c><00:21:12.859><c> you</c><00:21:12.940><c> may</c><00:21:13.220><c> have</c>

00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:18.220
That's<00:21:17.059><c> all</c><00:21:17.180><c> it</c><00:21:17.339><c> is.</c>

00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:21.980
The<00:21:19.039><c> messenger</c><00:21:19.680><c> was</c><00:21:20.140><c> just</c><00:21:20.619><c> a</c><00:21:20.799><c> voice.</c>

00:21:22.619 --> 00:21:24.339
And<00:21:22.720><c> he</c><00:21:22.799><c> was</c><00:21:22.940><c> the</c><00:21:23.140><c> voice</c><00:21:23.440><c> of</c><00:21:23.680><c> one</c><00:21:23.940><c> crying</c>

00:21:24.339 --> 00:21:27.920
in<00:21:25.299><c> the</c><00:21:25.720><c> wilderness</c><00:21:26.119><c> of</c><00:21:26.539><c> this</c><00:21:26.839><c> life.</c>

00:21:28.099 --> 00:21:30.759
Somehow<00:21:28.720><c> prepare</c><00:21:29.519><c> ye</c><00:21:29.779><c> the</c><00:21:29.920><c> way</c><00:21:30.140><c> of</c><00:21:30.359><c> the</c><00:21:30.519><c> Lord</c>

into<00:21:31.099><c> your</c><00:21:31.559><c> hearts.</c>

00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:36.240
That's<00:21:33.759><c> what</c><00:21:33.759><c> the</c><00:21:33.980><c> message</c><00:21:34.140><c> was</c><00:21:34.740><c> for</c><00:21:35.559><c> all</c><00:21:35.779><c> of</c><00:21:35.880><c> them.</c>

00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:38.079
That's<00:21:36.240><c> what</c><00:21:37.000><c> the</c><00:21:37.140><c> message</c><00:21:37.339><c> still</c><00:21:37.700><c> is,</c>

00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:40.240
what<00:21:38.339><c> the</c><00:21:38.519><c> message</c><00:21:38.700><c> is</c><00:21:38.880><c> for</c><00:21:39.059><c> us.</c>

00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:42.740
To<00:21:41.059><c> prepare</c><00:21:41.299><c> the</c><00:21:41.480><c> way</c><00:21:41.619><c> of</c><00:21:41.779><c> the</c><00:21:41.920><c> Lord,</c>

00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:47.319
to<00:21:43.319><c> make</c><00:21:43.599><c> that</c><00:21:44.059><c> road</c><00:21:44.519><c> clean</c><00:21:45.259><c> and</c><00:21:46.740><c> open,</c>

00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:49.400
remove<00:21:48.180><c> the</c><00:21:48.480><c> boulders</c><00:21:48.819><c> in</c><00:21:49.000><c> it,</c>

00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:54.359
that<00:21:49.980><c> the</c><00:21:50.359><c> Lord</c><00:21:50.720><c> might</c><00:21:51.160><c> enter</c><00:21:51.839><c> into</c><00:21:52.859><c> our</c><00:21:53.259><c> hearts.</c>

00:21:55.099 --> 00:21:55.900
That's<00:21:55.200><c> what</c><00:21:55.339><c> it</c><00:21:55.519><c> is.</c>

00:21:56.299 --> 00:21:57.920
To<00:21:56.420><c> get</c><00:21:56.519><c> ready</c><00:21:56.720><c> for</c><00:21:56.960><c> Him.</c>

00:21:58.140 --> 00:22:00.500
So<00:21:58.440><c> John's</c><00:21:58.880><c> whole</c><00:21:59.059><c> life</c><00:21:59.279><c> was</c><00:21:59.500><c> a</c><00:21:59.579><c> life</c><00:21:59.740><c> of</c><00:21:59.940><c> getting</c><00:22:00.220><c> ready</c>

00:22:00.500 --> 00:22:05.119
for<00:22:00.740><c> somebody</c><00:22:01.059><c> else</c><00:22:01.700><c> to</c><00:22:03.500><c> come</c><00:22:03.759><c> after</c><00:22:04.059><c> him.</c>

00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:07.640
When<00:22:05.960><c> he's</c><00:22:06.259><c> challenged</c><00:22:06.799><c> by</c><00:22:07.059><c> his</c><00:22:07.339><c> disciples,</c>

00:22:07.779 --> 00:22:09.960
look,<00:22:07.980><c> this</c><00:22:08.140><c> man</c><00:22:08.319><c> is</c><00:22:08.539><c> out</c><00:22:08.700><c> there</c><00:22:09.039><c> baptizing</c><00:22:09.660><c> people.</c>

00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:11.240
This<00:22:10.180><c> is</c><00:22:10.440><c> Jesus.</c>

00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:13.259
He<00:22:11.839><c> says,</c><00:22:12.099><c> that's</c><00:22:12.259><c> wonderful.</c>

00:22:14.299 --> 00:22:16.700
I'm<00:22:14.700><c> just</c><00:22:14.920><c> the</c><00:22:15.160><c> friend</c><00:22:15.339><c> of</c><00:22:15.500><c> the</c><00:22:15.700><c> bridegroom.</c>

00:22:16.740 --> 00:22:18.420
He<00:22:16.940><c> is</c><00:22:17.160><c> the</c><00:22:17.359><c> bridegroom.</c>

00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:21.220
It<00:22:18.900><c> had</c><00:22:19.140><c> nothing</c><00:22:19.319><c> to</c><00:22:19.500><c> do</c><00:22:19.539><c> with</c><00:22:19.720><c> the</c><00:22:19.900><c> physical</c><00:22:20.200><c> sense</c><00:22:20.660><c> at</c><00:22:20.960><c> all.</c>

00:22:21.220 --> 00:22:23.420
It<00:22:21.319><c> was</c><00:22:21.500><c> the</c><00:22:21.759><c> spiritual</c><00:22:22.339><c> sense.</c>

00:22:23.579 --> 00:22:27.079
What<00:22:23.680><c> he's</c><00:22:23.880><c> saying</c><00:22:24.079><c> is,</c><00:22:24.940><c> as</c><00:22:25.279><c> in</c><00:22:25.720><c> a</c><00:22:26.039><c> wedding,</c>

00:22:27.460 --> 00:22:29.680
the<00:22:27.660><c> bridegroom</c><00:22:28.039><c> is</c><00:22:28.200><c> the</c><00:22:28.319><c> most</c><00:22:28.579><c> important</c><00:22:29.140><c> individual</c>

00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:32.400
in<00:22:29.839><c> the</c><00:22:30.000><c> wedding</c><00:22:30.480><c> next</c><00:22:31.160><c> to</c><00:22:31.339><c> the</c><00:22:31.539><c> bride.</c>

00:22:32.500 --> 00:22:34.539
Together<00:22:32.980><c> they</c><00:22:33.200><c> are</c><00:22:33.400><c> the</c><00:22:33.680><c> heart</c><00:22:33.920><c> of</c><00:22:34.099><c> the</c><00:22:34.259><c> wedding.</c>

00:22:34.539 --> 00:22:37.680
So<00:22:35.460><c> their</c><00:22:35.819><c> friends</c><00:22:36.299><c> are</c><00:22:36.640><c> associated</c><00:22:37.279><c> with</c><00:22:37.539><c> them,</c>

00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.680
but<00:22:37.880><c> they're</c><00:22:38.279><c> just</c><00:22:39.099><c> secondary</c><00:22:41.140><c> figures</c>

00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.019
as<00:22:42.220><c> compared</c><00:22:42.819><c> with</c><00:22:43.460><c> the</c><00:22:43.660><c> married</c><00:22:43.980><c> couple.</c>

00:22:45.859 --> 00:22:48.460
They<00:22:46.619><c> are</c><00:22:46.920><c> preeminent.</c>

00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:50.720
So<00:22:49.079><c> what</c><00:22:49.140><c> he</c><00:22:49.240><c> was</c><00:22:49.359><c> saying</c><00:22:49.660><c> is,</c>

00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:54.440
I'm<00:22:52.279><c> just</c><00:22:52.839><c> support</c><00:22:53.319><c> staff.</c>

00:22:54.660 --> 00:22:56.119
That's<00:22:54.799><c> all</c><00:22:54.960><c> I</c><00:22:55.119><c> am.</c>

00:22:56.859 --> 00:23:00.839
That's<00:22:57.079><c> what</c><00:22:58.319><c> John</c><00:22:58.619><c> the</c><00:22:58.779><c> Baptist</c><00:22:59.240><c> saw</c><00:22:59.960><c> himself</c><00:23:00.400><c> as.</c>

00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:04.980
And<00:23:01.380><c> yet</c><00:23:01.720><c> Christ</c><00:23:01.980><c> said,</c><00:23:02.420><c> this</c><00:23:02.460><c> is</c><00:23:02.700><c> the</c><00:23:03.039><c> greatest</c><00:23:03.519><c> of</c><00:23:03.900><c> men.</c>

00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:07.759
Of<00:23:06.160><c> all</c><00:23:06.619><c> men</c><00:23:07.019><c> born</c><00:23:07.279><c> of</c><00:23:07.519><c> women,</c>

00:23:07.940 --> 00:23:11.700
there<00:23:07.940><c> was</c><00:23:08.519><c> none</c><00:23:08.880><c> greater</c><00:23:09.319><c> than</c><00:23:10.319><c> John</c><00:23:10.579><c> the</c><00:23:10.779><c> Baptist.</c>

00:23:12.980 --> 00:23:14.960
Now<00:23:13.339><c> what</c><00:23:13.440><c> was</c><00:23:13.680><c> he</c><00:23:13.859><c> at</c><00:23:14.000><c> best?</c>

00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:19.240
A<00:23:16.099><c> voice</c><00:23:16.839><c> and</c><00:23:18.059><c> a</c><00:23:18.299><c> friend.</c>

00:23:21.609 --> 00:23:23.039
That's<00:23:21.940><c> what</c><00:23:22.059><c> he</c><00:23:22.220><c> was.</c>

00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:25.019
So<00:23:24.180><c> what</c><00:23:24.400><c> are</c><00:23:24.539><c> best?</c>

00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:28.339
What<00:23:25.720><c> are</c><00:23:25.920><c> we</c><00:23:26.099><c> when</c><00:23:26.259><c> we</c><00:23:26.460><c> are</c><00:23:26.779><c> encouraging</c><00:23:27.180><c> each</c><00:23:27.500><c> other?</c>

00:23:28.940 --> 00:23:34.299
A<00:23:29.599><c> voice,</c><00:23:30.859><c> a</c><00:23:31.019><c> listening</c><00:23:31.299><c> ear,</c><00:23:32.960><c> and</c><00:23:33.180><c> a</c><00:23:33.339><c> friend.</c>

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:36.380
Right?

00:23:38.299 --> 00:23:40.000
I<00:23:38.799><c> will</c><00:23:39.059><c> send</c><00:23:39.299><c> my</c><00:23:39.539><c> messenger</c>

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:42.759
who<00:23:40.160><c> will</c><00:23:40.460><c> prepare</c><00:23:40.759><c> the</c><00:23:40.960><c> way</c><00:23:41.119><c> before</c><00:23:41.480><c> me,</c>

00:23:43.019 --> 00:23:45.380
and<00:23:43.099><c> the</c><00:23:43.359><c> Lord</c><00:23:44.160><c> whom</c><00:23:44.559><c> ye</c><00:23:44.920><c> seek</c>

00:23:45.380 --> 00:23:47.799
shall<00:23:46.359><c> suddenly</c><00:23:46.779><c> come</c><00:23:47.079><c> to</c><00:23:47.259><c> his</c><00:23:47.420><c> temple.</c>

00:23:47.940 --> 00:23:50.019
Interesting<00:23:48.400><c> word,</c><00:23:48.680><c> that</c><00:23:48.799><c> word,</c><00:23:49.039><c> seek.</c>

00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:53.680
It<00:23:50.779><c> means</c><00:23:50.920><c> the</c><00:23:51.099><c> Lord</c><00:23:51.319><c> that</c><00:23:51.500><c> you</c><00:23:51.700><c> are</c><00:23:51.960><c> looking</c><00:23:52.400><c> for.</c>

00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:56.319
He<00:23:54.000><c> will</c><00:23:54.220><c> come,</c><00:23:55.259><c> suddenly.</c>

00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:01.000
It's<00:23:57.940><c> a</c><00:23:57.980><c> language</c><00:23:58.519><c> of</c><00:23:59.700><c> sarcasm</c><00:24:00.279><c> that's</c><00:24:00.460><c> being</c><00:24:00.700><c> used.</c>

00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:01.940
That's<00:24:01.240><c> what</c><00:24:01.380><c> it</c><00:24:01.519><c> is.</c>

00:24:02.099 --> 00:24:03.579
He's<00:24:02.259><c> being</c><00:24:02.460><c> ironic.</c>

00:24:08.019 --> 00:24:09.519
He's<00:24:08.480><c> poking</c><00:24:08.759><c> them</c><00:24:08.980><c> a</c><00:24:09.140><c> bit,</c><00:24:09.299><c> isn't</c><00:24:09.460><c> he?</c>

00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:10.779
That's<00:24:09.680><c> what</c><00:24:09.759><c> he's</c><00:24:09.940><c> doing.</c>

00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:14.519
The<00:24:11.559><c> Lord</c><00:24:11.960><c> who</c><00:24:12.640><c> you're</c><00:24:13.059><c> so</c><00:24:13.359><c> all</c><00:24:13.779><c> fired</c><00:24:14.000><c> up</c><00:24:14.279><c> about</c>

00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:16.299
and<00:24:14.680><c> you're</c><00:24:14.880><c> looking</c><00:24:15.099><c> for</c><00:24:15.299><c> is</c><00:24:15.519><c> coming.</c>

00:24:16.500 --> 00:24:19.039
You<00:24:16.680><c> certainly</c><00:24:16.980><c> seem</c><00:24:17.180><c> to</c><00:24:17.319><c> be</c><00:24:17.579><c> seeking</c><00:24:17.859><c> him.</c>

00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:20.720
He's<00:24:19.940><c> coming.</c>

00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:22.200
He<00:24:20.960><c> really</c><00:24:21.279><c> is.</c>

00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:24.509
But<00:24:22.380><c> when</c><00:24:22.500><c> he</c><00:24:22.599><c> comes,</c><00:24:22.859><c> it</c><00:24:22.960><c> will</c><00:24:23.079><c> be</c><00:24:23.299><c> sudden</c><00:24:23.500><c> for</c><00:24:23.779><c> you,</c>

00:24:24.650 --> 00:24:26.309
because<00:24:25.130><c> you</c><00:24:25.289><c> won't</c><00:24:25.450><c> be</c><00:24:25.750><c> expecting</c><00:24:25.990><c> him.</c>

00:24:26.390 --> 00:24:28.150
That's<00:24:26.750><c> the</c><00:24:26.809><c> message</c><00:24:27.069><c> to</c><00:24:27.309><c> me.</c>

00:24:28.250 --> 00:24:29.309
The<00:24:28.369><c> Lord</c><00:24:28.569><c> that</c><00:24:28.769><c> I</c><00:24:28.890><c> am</c><00:24:29.049><c> seeking,</c>

00:24:29.430 --> 00:24:30.930
the<00:24:29.569><c> kingdom</c><00:24:29.849><c> that</c><00:24:30.049><c> I'm</c><00:24:30.210><c> looking</c><00:24:30.509><c> for</c>

00:24:30.930 --> 00:24:32.690
will<00:24:31.349><c> take</c><00:24:31.549><c> me</c><00:24:31.730><c> by</c><00:24:31.970><c> surprise.</c>

00:24:33.069 --> 00:24:33.869
Lord<00:24:33.269><c> willing,</c><00:24:33.549><c> it</c><00:24:33.650><c> won't.</c>

00:24:34.130 --> 00:24:36.109
But<00:24:34.609><c> there</c><00:24:35.049><c> it</c><00:24:35.250><c> is.</c>

00:24:36.230 --> 00:24:38.150
What<00:24:36.529><c> he</c><00:24:36.710><c> was</c><00:24:36.849><c> saying</c><00:24:37.029><c> to</c><00:24:37.210><c> them</c><00:24:37.349><c> is</c>

00:24:38.190 --> 00:24:40.769
the<00:24:38.670><c> way</c><00:24:38.910><c> that</c><00:24:39.069><c> you</c><00:24:39.130><c> are</c><00:24:39.309><c> living</c><00:24:39.509><c> your</c><00:24:39.890><c> lives,</c>

00:24:41.069 --> 00:24:44.670
Judah,<00:24:42.910><c> would</c><00:24:43.029><c> imply</c><00:24:43.329><c> that</c><00:24:43.450><c> you're</c><00:24:43.609><c> not</c><00:24:43.930><c> really</c>

00:24:44.869 --> 00:24:46.150
seeking<00:24:45.349><c> for</c><00:24:45.829><c> the</c><00:24:45.990><c> Lord.</c>

00:24:46.230 --> 00:24:49.529
You<00:24:46.549><c> say</c><00:24:47.069><c> with</c><00:24:47.349><c> your</c><00:24:47.549><c> mouth</c><00:24:47.809><c> that</c><00:24:47.950><c> you're</c><00:24:48.130><c> looking</c><00:24:48.470><c> for.</c>

00:24:50.049 --> 00:24:50.990
Right?

00:24:51.650 --> 00:24:53.930
It<00:24:52.170><c> got</c><00:24:52.390><c> to</c><00:24:52.549><c> the</c><00:24:52.670><c> point</c><00:24:52.829><c> in</c><00:24:53.009><c> the</c><00:24:53.130><c> New</c><00:24:53.269><c> Testament</c><00:24:53.609><c> days</c>

00:24:53.930 --> 00:24:56.230
where<00:24:54.190><c> people</c><00:24:54.490><c> weren't</c><00:24:54.769><c> even</c><00:24:55.269><c> not</c><00:24:55.670><c> really</c><00:24:55.990><c> looking.</c>

00:24:56.289 --> 00:24:59.349
They<00:24:56.430><c> were</c><00:24:56.849><c> scoffing</c><00:24:57.269><c> at</c><00:24:57.430><c> the</c><00:24:57.609><c> fact</c><00:24:57.750><c> that</c><00:24:57.890><c> he</c><00:24:57.930><c> will</c><00:24:58.150><c> never</c><00:24:58.470><c> come.</c>

00:24:59.650 --> 00:25:01.369
You<00:24:59.829><c> remember</c><00:25:00.089><c> that.</c><00:25:00.430><c> Peter</c><00:25:00.569><c> wrote</c><00:25:00.829><c> about</c><00:25:01.049><c> that.</c>

00:25:01.690 --> 00:25:02.789

00:25:02.990 --> 00:25:06.430
There<00:25:03.029><c> shall</c><00:25:03.230><c> come</c><00:25:03.470><c> in</c><00:25:03.630><c> the</c><00:25:03.890><c> last</c><00:25:04.349><c> days</c><00:25:05.109><c> scoffers</c>

00:25:06.430 --> 00:25:08.789
walking<00:25:06.990><c> after</c><00:25:07.349><c> their</c><00:25:07.670><c> own</c><00:25:08.009><c> lusts</c><00:25:08.410><c> and</c><00:25:08.529><c> saying,</c>

00:25:09.250 --> 00:25:11.490
Where<00:25:09.609><c> is</c><00:25:09.910><c> the</c><00:25:10.170><c> promise</c><00:25:10.549><c> of</c><00:25:10.750><c> his</c><00:25:11.109><c> coming?</c>

00:25:11.829 --> 00:25:13.490
For<00:25:12.009><c> since</c><00:25:12.329><c> the</c><00:25:12.569><c> fathers</c><00:25:12.829><c> fell</c><00:25:13.089><c> asleep,</c>

00:25:13.869 --> 00:25:15.490
all<00:25:14.009><c> things</c><00:25:14.269><c> continue</c><00:25:14.769><c> as</c><00:25:15.009><c> they</c><00:25:15.230><c> were</c>

00:25:15.490 --> 00:25:16.829
from<00:25:15.809><c> the</c><00:25:15.990><c> beginning</c><00:25:16.170><c> of</c><00:25:16.450><c> creation.</c>

00:25:16.990 --> 00:25:19.029
I<00:25:17.190><c> don't</c><00:25:17.369><c> believe</c><00:25:17.569><c> anybody</c><00:25:17.890><c> in</c><00:25:18.069><c> this</c><00:25:18.250><c> room</c><00:25:18.390><c> is</c><00:25:18.529><c> that</c><00:25:18.769><c> way.</c>

00:25:19.029 --> 00:25:22.269
I<00:25:19.509><c> don't</c><00:25:20.049><c> believe</c><00:25:20.309><c> anybody</c><00:25:20.670><c> in</c><00:25:20.809><c> this</c><00:25:20.950><c> room</c><00:25:21.089><c> is</c><00:25:21.529><c> scoffing</c>

00:25:22.269 --> 00:25:24.329
at<00:25:22.529><c> the</c><00:25:22.650><c> return</c><00:25:22.890><c> of</c><00:25:23.069><c> Christ.</c>

00:25:25.509 --> 00:25:27.809
But<00:25:25.650><c> he</c><00:25:25.789><c> is</c><00:25:26.190><c> coming</c><00:25:26.569><c> soon.</c>

00:25:28.950 --> 00:25:32.430
And<00:25:29.170><c> we</c><00:25:29.390><c> have</c><00:25:29.750><c> somehow</c><00:25:30.509><c> to</c><00:25:30.809><c> get</c><00:25:30.970><c> ourselves</c><00:25:31.430><c> ready.</c>

00:25:33.450 --> 00:25:36.450
We've<00:25:33.849><c> got</c><00:25:34.069><c> to</c><00:25:34.329><c> get</c><00:25:34.650><c> ready</c><00:25:34.990><c> for</c><00:25:35.170><c> his</c><00:25:35.390><c> return.</c>

00:25:37.029 --> 00:25:41.049
And<00:25:37.630><c> what</c><00:25:37.789><c> we</c><00:25:38.009><c> want</c><00:25:38.289><c> is</c><00:25:38.470><c> for</c><00:25:38.589><c> him</c><00:25:38.750><c> to</c><00:25:39.009><c> find</c><00:25:39.150><c> us</c><00:25:39.569><c> active.</c>

Actively<00:25:42.710><c> working</c><00:25:43.369><c> within</c><00:25:44.009><c> our</c><00:25:44.589><c> families,</c>

00:25:54.569 --> 00:25:56.690
If<00:25:54.730><c> we</c><00:25:54.950><c> can't</c><00:25:55.430><c> do</c><00:25:55.529><c> it.</c>

00:25:57.509 --> 00:26:00.329
That's<00:25:57.890><c> what</c><00:25:58.130><c> the</c><00:25:58.470><c> activity</c><00:25:58.750><c> is</c><00:25:59.130><c> that</c><00:25:59.329><c> we're</c><00:25:59.470><c> looking</c><00:25:59.829><c> for.</c>

Or<00:26:00.930><c> that</c><00:26:01.289><c> Christ</c><00:26:01.650><c> is</c><00:26:01.890><c> looking</c><00:26:02.069><c> for</c><00:26:02.269><c> when</c><00:26:02.430><c> he</c><00:26:02.549><c> returns.</c>

00:26:04.589 --> 00:26:06.970
He<00:26:04.670><c> wants</c><00:26:04.869><c> to</c><00:26:05.009><c> see</c><00:26:05.130><c> us</c><00:26:05.329><c> being</c><00:26:05.670><c> a</c><00:26:05.869><c> voice,</c>

The<00:26:10.150><c> voice,</c><00:26:11.049><c> the</c><00:26:11.269><c> Lord</c><00:26:11.470><c> is</c><00:26:11.789><c> coming,</c>

00:31:02.069 --> 00:31:04.190
We<00:31:02.170><c> can't</c><00:31:02.369><c> even</c><00:31:02.589><c> imagine</c><00:31:03.069><c> what</c><00:31:03.230><c> it's</c><00:31:03.450><c> going</c><00:31:03.549><c> to</c><00:31:03.650><c> be</c><00:31:03.789><c> like.</c>

00:31:04.529 --> 00:31:08.190

They<00:31:19.450><c> have</c><00:31:19.809><c> better</c><00:31:20.089><c> brains</c><00:31:20.430><c> and</c><00:31:20.650><c> better</c><00:31:20.910><c> thinking</c><00:31:21.210><c> than</c><00:31:21.430><c> we</c><00:31:21.710><c> do.</c>

00:31:34.549 --> 00:31:40.109
So<00:31:35.190><c> then,</c><00:31:37.450><c> we</c><00:31:37.630><c> use</c><00:31:38.009><c> one</c><00:31:38.410><c>-tenth</c><00:31:38.609><c> of</c><00:31:38.829><c> our</c><00:31:39.009><c> brains.</c>

00:31:40.710 --> 00:31:43.369
That's<00:31:41.109><c> nine</c><00:31:41.450><c>-tenths</c><00:31:42.009><c> of</c><00:31:42.150><c> unutilized</c><00:31:42.789><c> capacity.</c>

00:31:43.710 --> 00:31:47.109
What<00:31:44.170><c> will</c><00:31:44.690><c> God</c><00:31:45.150><c> give</c><00:31:45.470><c> us</c><00:31:45.769><c> the</c><00:31:45.910><c> ability</c><00:31:46.430><c> to</c><00:31:46.750><c> do</c>

00:31:48.710 --> 00:31:52.609
Can<00:31:48.890><c> you</c><00:31:49.089><c> even</c><00:31:49.410><c> imagine</c><00:31:50.109><c> what</c><00:31:51.170><c> it</c><00:31:51.329><c> will</c><00:31:51.450><c> be</c><00:31:51.589><c> like?</c>

00:31:53.250 --> 00:31:58.210
What<00:31:53.970><c> will</c><00:31:54.190><c> it</c><00:31:54.309><c> be</c><00:31:54.490><c> like</c><00:31:55.089><c> never</c><00:31:56.210><c> having</c><00:31:56.849><c> these</c><00:31:57.349><c> things</c>

00:32:04.549 --> 00:32:06.589
Never,<00:32:05.369><c> ever</c><00:32:05.869><c> feeling</c><00:32:06.269><c> tired.</c>

00:32:06.930 --> 00:32:11.609
What<00:32:07.289><c> will</c><00:32:07.529><c> it</c><00:32:07.670><c> be</c><00:32:07.849><c> like</c><00:32:07.970><c> to</c><00:32:08.509><c> have</c><00:32:08.569><c> every</c><00:32:09.289><c> tear</c><00:32:10.369><c> wiped</c><00:32:11.250><c> out</c><00:32:11.490><c> of</c>

your<00:32:11.829><c> eyes?</c>

00:32:13.410 --> 00:32:14.410
Hmm?

00:32:15.690 --> 00:32:18.849
Every<00:32:16.190><c> pain</c><00:32:16.690><c> healed</c><00:32:17.329><c> out</c><00:32:17.529><c> of</c><00:32:17.650><c> your</c><00:32:17.890><c> heart.</c>

00:32:20.690 --> 00:32:22.230
What<00:32:20.869><c> will</c><00:32:21.049><c> that</c><00:32:21.190><c> be</c><00:32:21.349><c> like?</c>

00:32:23.309 --> 00:32:26.049
Something<00:32:23.609><c> to</c><00:32:23.789><c> look</c><00:32:24.029><c> forward</c><00:32:24.369><c> to,</c><00:32:24.569><c> brothers</c><00:32:24.829><c> and</c><00:32:25.069><c> sisters,</c>

00:32:26.809 --> 00:32:29.890
in<00:32:26.930><c> the</c><00:32:27.009><c> midst</c><00:32:27.170><c> of</c><00:32:27.390><c> whatever</c><00:32:27.769><c> we</c><00:32:28.009><c> are</c><00:32:28.210><c> going</c><00:32:28.430><c> through</c><00:32:29.089><c> in</c><00:32:29.710><c> our</c>

00:32:29.890 --> 00:32:31.130

00:32:31.710 --> 00:32:34.329
Back<00:32:31.910><c> to</c><00:32:32.069><c> Malachi</c><00:32:32.329><c> chapter</c><00:32:32.630><c> three.</c>

00:32:37.490 --> 00:32:38.309
Right.

00:32:47.549 --> 00:32:53.769
Now,<00:32:49.549><c> we</c><00:32:49.710><c> go</c><00:32:49.950><c> down</c><00:32:50.589><c> to</c><00:32:51.549><c> verse</c><00:32:52.269><c> two.</c>

00:32:54.349 --> 00:32:56.269
Remember,<00:32:54.549><c> they'd</c><00:32:54.809><c> asked</c><00:32:55.029><c> the</c><00:32:55.190><c> question,</c>

00:32:56.529 --> 00:32:59.750
where<00:32:56.930><c> is</c><00:32:57.190><c> the</c><00:32:57.349><c> God</c><00:32:57.490><c> of</c><00:32:57.710><c> Judgment</c><00:32:58.069><c> back</c><00:32:58.390><c> in</c><00:32:58.750><c> two,</c><00:32:59.029><c> verse</c><00:32:59.230><c> seventeen?</c>

00:32:59.990 --> 00:33:01.890
Where<00:33:00.250><c> is</c><00:33:00.410><c> this</c><00:33:00.609><c> God</c><00:33:00.809><c> of</c><00:33:00.990><c> Judgment?</c>

00:33:02.230 --> 00:33:05.509
He's<00:33:02.650><c> so</c><00:33:02.869><c> righteous,</c><00:33:03.250><c> He's</c><00:33:03.670><c> so</c><00:33:03.930><c> grand,</c><00:33:04.130><c> where</c><00:33:04.349><c> is</c><00:33:04.609><c> He?</c>

00:33:05.869 --> 00:33:09.269
In<00:33:06.089><c> all</c><00:33:06.329><c> this</c><00:33:06.910><c> terrible</c><00:33:07.549><c> trial</c><00:33:07.869><c> we're</c><00:33:08.049><c> going</c><00:33:08.309><c> through.</c>

00:33:09.470 --> 00:33:12.509
So<00:33:09.910><c> the</c><00:33:10.069><c> answer</c><00:33:10.369><c> is</c><00:33:11.009><c> in</c><00:33:11.130><c> what</c><00:33:11.269><c> we've</c><00:33:11.450><c> just</c><00:33:11.630><c> been</c><00:33:11.789><c> looking</c><00:33:11.990><c> at.</c>

00:33:12.509 --> 00:33:16.049
This<00:33:13.289><c> is</c><00:33:13.490><c> how</c><00:33:13.670><c> God's</c><00:33:14.069><c> going</c><00:33:14.230><c> to</c><00:33:14.450><c> send</c><00:33:14.670><c> us</c><00:33:14.910><c> His</c><00:33:15.069><c> Son.</c>

00:33:16.470 --> 00:33:19.910
This<00:33:16.670><c> is</c><00:33:16.789><c> how</c><00:33:16.950><c> the</c><00:33:17.130><c> God</c><00:33:17.250><c> of</c><00:33:17.450><c> Judgment</c><00:33:17.789><c> is</c><00:33:18.650><c> going</c><00:33:18.809><c> to</c><00:33:19.009><c> return.</c>

00:33:20.609 --> 00:33:24.589
He<00:33:20.789><c> says,</c><00:33:21.349><c> who</c><00:33:21.829><c> may</c><00:33:22.289><c> abide</c><00:33:22.829><c> the</c><00:33:23.230><c> day</c><00:33:23.470><c> of</c><00:33:23.589><c> His</c><00:33:23.809><c> coming?</c>

00:33:24.829 --> 00:33:26.269
Who's<00:33:25.190><c> going</c><00:33:25.329><c> to</c><00:33:25.589><c> survive</c><00:33:26.069><c> it?</c>

00:33:26.269 --> 00:33:29.470
Who's<00:33:26.470><c> going</c><00:33:26.690><c> to</c><00:33:26.910><c> endure</c><00:33:27.710><c> the</c><00:33:28.049><c> day</c><00:33:28.289><c> of</c><00:33:28.369><c> His</c><00:33:28.630><c> coming?</c>

00:33:30.190 --> 00:33:31.869
And<00:33:30.329><c> who</c><00:33:30.509><c> shall</c><00:33:30.730><c> stand</c><00:33:31.109><c> when</c><00:33:31.289><c> He</c><00:33:31.549><c> appears?</c>

00:33:31.990 --> 00:33:34.910
Now,<00:33:32.309><c> understand</c><00:33:32.829><c> this,</c><00:33:33.250><c> please,</c><00:33:33.410><c> brothers</c><00:33:33.609><c> and</c><00:33:33.890><c> sisters.</c>

00:33:35.529 --> 00:33:39.029
It<00:33:35.630><c> is</c><00:33:35.789><c> not</c><00:33:36.049><c> intended</c><00:33:36.589><c> to</c><00:33:36.990><c> scare</c><00:33:37.170><c> us</c><00:33:37.390><c> and</c><00:33:37.650><c> frighten</c><00:33:38.130><c> us.</c>

00:33:39.529 --> 00:33:45.930
Judah<00:33:39.970><c> was</c><00:33:40.609><c> having</c><00:33:41.109><c> a</c><00:33:42.609><c> terrific</c><00:33:43.170><c> problem</c><00:33:43.950><c> living</c><00:33:44.450><c> the</c><00:33:44.730><c> truth.</c>

00:33:47.089 --> 00:33:50.650
They<00:33:47.089><c> just,</c><00:33:48.529><c> everything</c><00:33:49.089><c> was</c><00:33:49.490><c> falling</c><00:33:49.710><c> apart.</c>

00:33:51.509 --> 00:33:55.190
All<00:33:51.670><c> aspects</c><00:33:52.069><c> of</c><00:33:52.230><c> the</c><00:33:52.349><c> ecclesial</c><00:33:52.609><c> life</c><00:33:53.250><c> were</c><00:33:53.849><c> breaking</c><00:33:54.150><c> down.</c>

00:33:55.829 --> 00:34:00.069
They<00:33:56.069><c> just</c><00:33:56.450><c> couldn't</c><00:33:56.730><c> seem</c><00:33:56.990><c> to</c><00:33:57.089><c> get</c><00:33:57.190><c> the</c><00:33:57.609><c> basic,</c><00:33:58.369><c> basic</c><00:33:59.190><c> aspects</c><00:33:59.869><c> of</c>

the<00:34:00.250><c> truth</c><00:34:00.410><c> right.</c>

00:34:01.789 --> 00:34:04.829
And<00:34:02.009><c> so,</c><00:34:02.390><c> He</c><00:34:02.589><c> has</c><00:34:02.930><c> to</c><00:34:03.190><c> discipline</c><00:34:03.450><c> them</c><00:34:03.609><c> in</c><00:34:03.730><c> this</c><00:34:03.910><c> way.</c>

00:34:05.069 --> 00:34:07.349
Now,<00:34:05.809><c> we</c><00:34:06.049><c> need</c><00:34:06.309><c> to</c><00:34:06.430><c> be</c><00:34:06.609><c> shaken</c><00:34:06.809><c> up</c><00:34:07.130><c> too,</c>

00:34:07.369 --> 00:34:11.130
but<00:34:07.529><c> we</c><00:34:07.829><c> don't</c><00:34:08.190><c> need</c><00:34:08.429><c> to</c><00:34:08.570><c> be</c><00:34:08.929><c> terrified</c><00:34:09.429><c> of</c><00:34:09.590><c> the</c><00:34:09.730><c> return</c><00:34:09.969><c> of</c><00:34:10.150><c> Christ.</c>

00:34:12.150 --> 00:34:14.349
We<00:34:12.309><c> need</c><00:34:12.449><c> to</c><00:34:12.550><c> look</c><00:34:12.789><c> forward</c><00:34:13.070><c> to</c><00:34:13.269><c> it.</c>

00:34:37.110 --> 00:34:40.929
Because<00:34:37.329><c> when</c><00:34:37.489><c> He</c><00:34:37.630><c> comes,</c><00:34:38.210><c> He'll</c><00:34:38.289><c> be</c><00:34:38.409><c> like</c><00:34:38.690><c> a</c><00:34:38.929><c> refiner's</c><00:34:39.730><c> fire,</c>

because<00:34:55.050><c> it</c><00:34:55.289><c> took</c><00:34:55.630><c> every</c><00:34:56.349><c> bit</c><00:34:56.590><c> of</c><00:34:56.929><c> dirt</c><00:34:57.230><c> out</c><00:34:57.530><c> of</c><00:34:57.650><c> the</c><00:34:57.949><c> cloth</c>

00:34:58.389 --> 00:35:01.030
that<00:34:59.730><c> was</c><00:34:59.909><c> put</c><00:35:00.070><c> into</c><00:35:00.329><c> it.</c>

00:35:01.030 --> 00:35:03.670
This<00:35:01.769><c> is</c><00:35:02.050><c> a</c><00:35:02.309><c> good</c><00:35:02.590><c> thing.</c>

00:35:04.409 --> 00:35:07.210
It's<00:35:04.650><c> painful,</c><00:35:05.309><c> yes,</c><00:35:06.070><c> but</c><00:35:06.269><c> it's</c><00:35:06.409><c> not</c><00:35:06.590><c> a</c><00:35:06.750><c> bad</c><00:35:06.929><c> thing.</c>

00:35:07.349 --> 00:35:14.570
I<00:35:07.690><c> want</c><00:35:08.829><c> Christ</c><00:35:09.809><c> to</c><00:35:10.570><c> get</c><00:35:10.929><c> out</c><00:35:11.289><c> of</c><00:35:11.489><c> me</c><00:35:12.050><c> this</c><00:35:12.469><c> defiling</c><00:35:13.409><c> human</c><00:35:13.969><c> nature</c>

00:35:14.570 --> 00:35:21.170
that<00:35:15.429><c> prostrates</c><00:35:16.130><c> me</c><00:35:16.530><c> down</c><00:35:16.969><c> in</c><00:35:17.230><c> the</c><00:35:17.570><c> ditch</c><00:35:17.929><c> of</c><00:35:18.510><c> sin</c><00:35:18.889><c> all</c><00:35:19.849><c> my</c><00:35:20.190><c> life.</c>

00:35:21.429 --> 00:35:27.030
Even<00:35:21.710><c> if</c><00:35:21.909><c> I</c><00:35:22.010><c> never</c><00:35:22.429><c> act</c><00:35:22.869><c> out</c><00:35:23.750><c> just</c><00:35:24.210><c> what,</c><00:35:26.070><c> the</c><00:35:26.070><c> part</c><00:35:26.329><c> and</c><00:35:26.590><c> parcel</c><00:35:26.869><c> of</c>

00:35:27.030 --> 00:35:27.909
being<00:35:27.389><c> human,</c>

00:35:27.909 --> 00:35:33.150
I<00:35:28.369><c> want</c><00:35:28.730><c> that</c><00:35:29.210><c> out</c><00:35:29.670><c> and</c><00:35:30.030><c> gone,</c><00:35:31.570><c> gone</c><00:35:31.789><c> out</c><00:35:31.989><c> of</c><00:35:32.090><c> me</c><00:35:32.210><c> forever.</c>

00:35:33.969 --> 00:35:36.329
So<00:35:34.150><c> it's</c><00:35:34.230><c> something</c><00:35:34.469><c> we</c><00:35:34.590><c> should</c><00:35:34.730><c> look</c><00:35:34.969><c> forward</c><00:35:35.210><c> to,</c>

00:35:36.829 --> 00:35:41.590
and<00:35:36.929><c> to</c><00:35:37.150><c> hear</c><00:35:37.909><c> what</c><00:35:39.289><c> little</c><00:35:39.590><c> efforts</c><00:35:39.969><c> we</c><00:35:40.289><c> all</c><00:35:40.590><c> made</c><00:35:40.849><c> to</c><00:35:41.190><c> just</c>

00:35:41.590 --> 00:35:43.349
try<00:35:41.869><c> to</c><00:35:42.090><c> keep</c><00:35:42.269><c> faithful,</c>

00:35:43.750 --> 00:35:46.789
that<00:35:43.969><c> God</c><00:35:44.269><c> in</c><00:35:44.449><c> His</c><00:35:44.690><c> mercy</c><00:35:45.050><c> and</c><00:35:45.349><c> grace</c><00:35:45.550><c> will</c><00:35:45.809><c> forgive</c><00:35:46.150><c> us,</c>

00:35:46.989 --> 00:35:49.829
not<00:35:47.230><c> for</c><00:35:47.489><c> anything</c><00:35:47.829><c> that</c><00:35:48.030><c> we</c><00:35:48.250><c> did,</c><00:35:48.469><c> but</c><00:35:48.630><c> because</c><00:35:48.909><c> of</c><00:35:49.050><c> His</c><00:35:49.230><c> love</c>

00:35:49.829 --> 00:35:52.389
and<00:35:50.250><c> because</c><00:35:50.489><c> we</c><00:35:50.750><c> did</c><00:35:51.010><c> our</c><00:35:51.329><c> best.</c>

00:35:52.969 --> 00:35:56.710
Let<00:35:53.369><c> us</c><00:35:53.630><c> enter</c><00:35:53.949><c> into</c><00:35:54.150><c> His</c><00:35:54.389><c> Kingdom</c><00:35:54.929><c> and</c><00:35:55.650><c> give</c><00:35:55.769><c> us</c><00:35:55.929><c> eternal</c><00:35:56.210><c> life.</c>

00:35:56.710 --> 00:35:59.670
He<00:35:57.710><c> shall</c><00:35:58.030><c> purify</c><00:35:58.670><c> us.</c>

00:35:59.750 --> 00:36:02.469
Now<00:35:59.909><c> the</c><00:35:59.989><c> sons</c><00:36:00.210><c> of</c><00:36:00.469><c> Levi</c><00:36:00.829><c> were</c><00:36:01.030><c> to</c><00:36:01.150><c> be</c><00:36:01.389><c> purified.</c>

00:36:02.809 --> 00:36:03.909
It's<00:36:02.989><c> very</c><00:36:03.289><c> interesting.</c>

00:36:04.329 --> 00:36:06.570
As<00:36:04.409><c> we</c><00:36:04.570><c> go</c><00:36:04.750><c> through</c><00:36:05.110><c> reading</c><00:36:05.409><c> this,</c><00:36:05.670><c> we</c><00:36:05.750><c> get</c><00:36:05.929><c> to</c><00:36:06.170><c> the</c><00:36:06.269><c> end</c><00:36:06.429><c> of</c>

00:36:06.570 --> 00:36:07.630
that<00:36:06.769><c> verse.</c>

00:36:07.989 --> 00:36:12.130
It<00:36:08.190><c> says,</c><00:36:08.929><c> He</c><00:36:08.989><c> shall</c><00:36:09.250><c> purge</c><00:36:09.650><c> them</c><00:36:09.889><c> as</c><00:36:10.429><c> gold</c><00:36:11.030><c> and</c><00:36:11.489><c> silver.</c>

00:36:12.630 --> 00:36:16.349
They<00:36:12.769><c> may</c><00:36:13.010><c> offer</c><00:36:13.269><c> unto</c><00:36:13.489><c> the</c><00:36:13.710><c> Lord</c><00:36:14.130><c> an</c><00:36:14.570><c> offering</c><00:36:14.909><c> in</c><00:36:15.329><c> righteousness.</c>

00:36:16.849 --> 00:36:20.949
Then<00:36:17.230><c> shall</c><00:36:17.449><c> the</c><00:36:17.670><c> offering</c><00:36:17.929><c> of</c><00:36:18.150><c> Judah</c><00:36:18.389><c> and</c><00:36:18.650><c> Jerusalem</c><00:36:19.110><c> be</c><00:36:19.789><c> pleasant</c><00:36:20.130><c> unto</c><00:36:20.409><c> the</c><00:36:20.650><c> Lord,</c>

00:36:21.210 --> 00:36:24.630
as<00:36:21.389><c> in</c><00:36:21.550><c> the</c><00:36:21.710><c> days</c><00:36:21.869><c> of</c><00:36:22.210><c> old</c><00:36:22.570><c> and</c><00:36:23.250><c> as</c><00:36:23.590><c> in</c><00:36:23.909><c> former</c><00:36:24.150><c> years.</c>

00:36:24.630 --> 00:36:27.389
And<00:36:25.090><c> I</c><00:36:25.230><c> will</c><00:36:25.449><c> come</c><00:36:25.710><c> near</c><00:36:25.929><c> to</c><00:36:26.170><c> you</c><00:36:26.510><c> in</c><00:36:26.849><c> judgment,</c>

00:36:27.550 --> 00:36:32.690
and<00:36:28.170><c> I'll</c><00:36:28.489><c> be</c><00:36:28.670><c> a</c><00:36:28.929><c> swift</c><00:36:29.449><c> witness</c><00:36:30.309><c> against</c><00:36:31.130><c> the</c><00:36:31.429><c> sorcerers,</c>

00:36:32.730 --> 00:36:36.949
and<00:36:32.909><c> against</c><00:36:33.309><c> the</c><00:36:33.610><c> adulterers,</c><00:36:34.889><c> and</c><00:36:35.130><c> against</c><00:36:35.570><c> false</c><00:36:36.130><c> swearers,</c>

00:36:37.409 --> 00:36:40.289
and<00:36:37.630><c> against</c><00:36:38.070><c> those</c><00:36:38.429><c> that</c><00:36:38.630><c> oppress</c><00:36:38.869><c> the</c><00:36:39.150><c> hireling</c><00:36:39.469><c> in</c><00:36:39.610><c> his</c><00:36:39.829><c> wages,</c>

00:36:40.650 --> 00:36:44.150
the<00:36:40.969><c> widow</c><00:36:41.369><c> and</c><00:36:41.849><c> the</c><00:36:42.130><c> fatherless,</c><00:36:43.070><c> and</c><00:36:43.230><c> the</c><00:36:43.389><c> turn</c><00:36:43.550><c> aside</c><00:36:43.869><c> the</c>

00:36:45.869 --> 00:36:49.289
And<00:36:46.110><c> fear</c><00:36:46.250><c> not</c><00:36:46.469><c> me,</c><00:36:47.570><c> saith</c><00:36:47.670><c> the</c><00:36:47.829><c> Lord</c><00:36:47.989><c> of</c><00:36:48.230><c> hosts.</c>

00:36:49.449 --> 00:36:51.510
So<00:36:49.769><c> these</c><00:36:49.969><c> are</c><00:36:50.150><c> all</c><00:36:50.309><c> the</c><00:36:50.510><c> things</c><00:36:50.769><c> that</c><00:36:50.909><c> they</c><00:36:51.030><c> were</c><00:36:51.150><c> doing</c><00:36:51.329><c> at</c>

00:36:51.510 --> 00:36:52.650
this<00:36:51.730><c> time.</c>

00:36:53.469 --> 00:36:56.050
Now<00:36:54.070><c> it</c><00:36:54.250><c> is</c><00:36:54.489><c> believed</c><00:36:54.809><c> by</c><00:36:55.110><c> many,</c>

00:36:56.449 --> 00:36:59.690
and<00:36:56.550><c> it</c><00:36:56.769><c> seems</c><00:36:56.929><c> to</c><00:36:57.110><c> be</c><00:36:57.309><c> a</c><00:36:57.590><c> logical</c><00:36:58.030><c> placement</c><00:36:58.510><c> for</c><00:36:58.730><c> the</c><00:36:58.909><c> book,</c>

00:36:59.710 --> 00:37:03.670

00:37:04.010 --> 00:37:08.969
that<00:37:04.170><c> the</c><00:37:04.469><c> prophecy</c><00:37:04.769><c> of</c><00:37:05.030><c> Malachi</c><00:37:05.550><c> comes</c><00:37:06.590><c> from</c><00:37:07.010><c> the</c><00:37:07.269><c> time</c><00:37:07.489><c> of</c><00:37:07.750><c> Nehemiah.</c>

00:37:09.670 --> 00:37:12.550
He<00:37:09.969><c> was</c><00:37:10.269><c> prophesying</c><00:37:10.829><c> during</c><00:37:11.170><c> his</c><00:37:11.530><c> days,</c>

00:37:13.349 --> 00:37:17.809
and<00:37:13.610><c> the</c><00:37:13.889><c> message</c><00:37:14.130><c> seems</c><00:37:14.489><c> to</c><00:37:14.809><c> come</c><00:37:15.590><c> during</c><00:37:16.670><c> a</c><00:37:17.010><c> time</c><00:37:17.309><c> frame</c>

00:37:17.809 --> 00:37:20.610
where<00:37:18.590><c> Nehemiah</c><00:37:19.090><c> has</c><00:37:19.429><c> gone</c><00:37:19.730><c> back</c><00:37:20.190><c> home.</c>

00:37:20.610 --> 00:37:25.630
He's<00:37:21.269><c> gone</c><00:37:21.610><c> back</c><00:37:22.070><c> home</c><00:37:22.550><c> after</c><00:37:23.289><c> he's</c><00:37:23.969><c> settled,</c><00:37:24.989><c> stabilized,</c>

00:37:26.130 --> 00:37:28.750
reorganized<00:37:26.710><c> the</c><00:37:26.909><c> nation</c><00:37:27.230><c> in</c><00:37:27.630><c> the</c><00:37:27.829><c> land.</c>

00:37:28.869 --> 00:37:32.389
He<00:37:29.030><c> goes</c><00:37:29.269><c> back</c><00:37:29.510><c> to</c><00:37:29.730><c> Persia</c><00:37:30.289><c> to</c><00:37:30.809><c> serve</c><00:37:31.110><c> the</c><00:37:31.329><c> king.</c>

00:37:33.050 --> 00:37:35.329
He's<00:37:33.389><c> away</c><00:37:33.550><c> for</c><00:37:33.769><c> a</c><00:37:33.829><c> period</c><00:37:34.070><c> of</c><00:37:34.309><c> time.</c>

00:37:35.449 --> 00:37:36.429
Look<00:37:35.630><c> what</c><00:37:35.789><c> happens.</c>

00:37:36.869 --> 00:37:39.110

00:39:37.050 --> 00:39:39.590
That's<00:39:37.650><c> what</c><00:39:37.949><c> the</c><00:39:38.250><c> equivalent</c><00:39:38.550><c> is.</c>

00:39:39.849 --> 00:39:42.429
All<00:39:40.230><c> that</c><00:39:40.389><c> was</c><00:39:40.789><c> foreign</c><00:39:41.170><c> and</c><00:39:41.510><c> distasteful,</c>

00:39:42.429 --> 00:39:46.090
that<00:39:42.789><c> was</c><00:39:43.130><c> Godless</c><00:39:43.849><c> and</c><00:39:44.090><c> of</c><00:39:44.170><c> the</c><00:39:44.369><c> world</c><00:39:44.510><c> was</c><00:39:44.750><c> pushed</c><00:39:45.030><c> out.</c>

00:39:46.650 --> 00:39:48.670
Now<00:39:46.909><c> they</c><00:39:47.090><c> bring</c><00:39:47.250><c> it</c><00:39:47.429><c> into</c><00:39:47.650><c> the</c><00:39:47.769><c> very</c><00:39:48.130><c> precincts</c>

00:39:48.670 --> 00:39:49.869

00:39:50.269 --> 00:39:52.369
That's<00:39:50.849><c> the</c><00:39:50.949><c> mistake</c><00:39:51.250><c> they'd</c><00:39:51.650><c> made.</c>

00:39:52.769 --> 00:39:55.849
They'd<00:39:53.269><c> cut</c><00:39:53.389><c> a</c><00:39:53.590><c> deal</c><00:39:53.789><c> with</c><00:39:53.989><c> the</c><00:39:54.210><c> world</c><00:39:54.409><c> around</c><00:39:54.690><c> them</c><00:39:54.889><c> morally.</c>

00:39:56.070 --> 00:39:59.650
They'd<00:39:56.650><c> decided</c><00:39:57.110><c> on</c><00:39:57.849><c> peaceful</c><00:39:58.329><c> coexistence.</c>

00:40:00.130 --> 00:40:02.809
So<00:40:00.429><c> they</c><00:40:00.670><c> adopted</c><00:40:01.070><c> its</c><00:40:01.369><c> philosophies.</c>

00:40:23.329 --> 00:40:27.670
Something<00:40:23.769><c> foreign,</c><00:40:25.449><c> fleshly,</c><00:40:26.730><c> worldly,</c>

And<00:40:53.210><c> it</c><00:40:53.650><c> grieved</c><00:40:54.090><c> me</c><00:40:54.730><c> so.</c>

00:40:55.210 --> 00:40:57.550
So<00:40:55.349><c> the</c><00:40:55.650><c> Lord</c><00:40:56.449><c> whom</c><00:40:56.730><c> they</c><00:40:56.929><c> were</c><00:40:57.190><c> seeking</c>

00:40:57.550 --> 00:40:59.130
suddenly<00:40:58.269><c> came</c><00:40:58.550><c> to</c><00:40:58.730><c> his</c><00:40:58.889><c> temple.</c>

00:40:59.329 --> 00:41:01.550
Nehemiah<00:40:59.590><c> showed</c><00:40:59.849><c> up</c><00:41:00.269><c> out</c><00:41:00.510><c> of</c><00:41:00.630><c> the</c><00:41:00.789><c> blue.</c>

00:41:01.570 --> 00:41:02.590
There<00:41:01.769><c> he</c><00:41:01.969><c> is.</c>

00:41:02.809 --> 00:41:04.789
He<00:41:03.050><c> became</c><00:41:03.329><c> symbolic</c><00:41:04.070><c> of</c>

00:41:04.789 --> 00:41:08.170

00:41:08.829 --> 00:41:11.170
The<00:41:08.969><c> Lord</c><00:41:09.230><c> whom</c><00:41:09.429><c> you</c><00:41:09.710><c> seek</c><00:41:09.989><c> shall</c><00:41:10.250><c> suddenly</c><00:41:10.710><c> come.</c>

00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:16.889

Nehemiah<00:41:17.510><c> arrives,</c><00:41:17.889><c> verse</c><00:41:18.090><c> 8,</c><00:41:18.349><c> grieves</c><00:41:18.590><c> them</c><00:41:18.829><c> sore,</c>

00:41:19.230 --> 00:41:20.530
and<00:41:19.369><c> I</c><00:41:19.730><c> cast</c><00:41:20.030><c> forth</c>

00:41:20.530 --> 00:41:24.110

00:41:24.409 --> 00:41:25.929
Doesn't<00:41:24.650><c> that</c><00:41:24.929><c> sound</c><00:41:25.170><c> like</c>

00:41:25.929 --> 00:41:27.929

00:41:31.309 --> 00:41:32.289
Then<00:41:31.610><c> I</c><00:41:31.829><c> commanded,</c>

00:41:32.289 --> 00:41:35.710
and<00:41:32.949><c> they</c><00:41:33.250><c> cleansed</c><00:41:34.869><c> the</c><00:41:35.110><c> chambers,</c>

00:41:36.090 --> 00:41:37.289
and<00:41:36.190><c> thither</c><00:41:36.469><c> brought</c><00:41:36.829><c> I</c><00:41:37.070><c> again</c>

00:41:37.289 --> 00:41:38.889

00:41:38.889 --> 00:41:41.570
with<00:41:39.429><c> the</c><00:41:39.630><c> meal</c><00:41:39.849><c> offering</c><00:41:40.210><c> and</c><00:41:40.630><c> the</c><00:41:40.889><c> frankincense.</c>

00:41:41.670 --> 00:41:43.909
And<00:41:41.949><c> I</c><00:41:42.210><c> perceived</c><00:41:42.969><c> that</c><00:41:43.429><c> the</c><00:41:43.610><c> portions</c>

00:41:43.909 --> 00:41:45.809
of<00:41:44.130><c> the</c><00:41:44.269><c> Levites</c><00:41:44.610><c> had</c><00:41:44.809><c> not</c><00:41:44.949><c> been</c><00:41:45.230><c> given</c><00:41:45.429><c> them,</c>

00:41:45.909 --> 00:41:47.230
for<00:41:46.130><c> the</c><00:41:46.349><c> Levites</c><00:41:46.710><c> and</c><00:41:46.849><c> the</c><00:41:47.010><c> singers</c>

00:41:47.230 --> 00:41:48.630
that<00:41:47.449><c> did</c><00:41:47.570><c> the</c><00:41:47.769><c> work</c><00:41:47.909><c> were</c><00:41:48.190><c> fled.</c>

00:41:48.969 --> 00:41:50.849
They'd<00:41:49.230><c> run</c><00:41:49.329><c> away</c><00:41:49.530><c> to</c><00:41:49.670><c> their</c><00:41:49.929><c> fields.</c>

00:41:50.869 --> 00:41:52.710
Nobody<00:41:51.110><c> was</c><00:41:51.389><c> supporting</c><00:41:51.789><c> them.</c>

00:41:52.730 --> 00:41:54.150
Nobody<00:41:52.949><c> was</c><00:41:53.269><c> helping</c><00:41:53.630><c> them.</c>

00:41:54.489 --> 00:41:58.389
So<00:41:54.670><c> the</c><00:41:54.849><c> Levites</c><00:41:55.250><c> ran</c><00:41:55.469><c> away</c><00:41:55.750><c> and</c><00:41:56.050><c> abandoned</c><00:41:56.889><c> the</c><00:41:57.289><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:41:58.510 --> 00:42:01.429
they<00:41:58.730><c> who</c><00:41:58.949><c> should</c><00:41:59.150><c> have</c><00:41:59.389><c> been</c><00:41:59.750><c> its</c><00:42:00.469><c> foundation,</c>

00:42:05.110 --> 00:42:07.150
Then<00:42:05.570><c> contended</c><00:42:06.030><c> I</c><00:42:06.190><c> with</c><00:42:06.349><c> the</c><00:42:06.510><c> rulers</c><00:42:06.670><c> and</c><00:42:06.909><c> said,</c>

00:42:07.550 --> 00:42:11.309
Why<00:42:07.949><c> is</c><00:42:08.309><c> the</c><00:42:08.550><c> house</c><00:42:09.030><c> of</c><00:42:09.349><c> God</c><00:42:09.909><c> forsaken?</c>

00:42:11.730 --> 00:42:14.110
How<00:42:11.909><c> come</c><00:42:12.010><c> there's</c><00:42:12.190><c> nobody</c><00:42:12.389><c> coming</c><00:42:12.630><c> out</c><00:42:12.829><c> to</c><00:42:12.969><c> the</c><00:42:13.070><c> meeting?</c>

00:42:14.250 --> 00:42:16.510
How<00:42:14.389><c> come</c><00:42:14.510><c> there's</c><00:42:14.769><c> nobody</c><00:42:14.969><c> at</c><00:42:15.190><c> Bible</c><00:42:15.530><c> class?</c>

00:42:17.030 --> 00:42:19.909
Why<00:42:17.269><c> is</c><00:42:17.429><c> it</c><00:42:17.570><c> that</c><00:42:17.710><c> nobody</c><00:42:18.090><c> is</c><00:42:19.050><c> interested</c>

00:42:19.909 --> 00:42:23.190
in<00:42:20.469><c> the</c><00:42:20.809><c> life</c><00:42:21.070><c> and</c><00:42:21.250><c> the</c><00:42:21.510><c> welfare</c><00:42:21.769><c> of</c><00:42:22.030><c> the</c><00:42:22.210><c> Ecclesia?</c>

00:42:23.389 --> 00:42:24.869
That's<00:42:23.730><c> what</c><00:42:23.809><c> he's</c><00:42:24.010><c> asking.</c>

00:42:25.130 --> 00:42:26.269
And<00:42:25.389><c> I</c><00:42:25.550><c> gathered</c><00:42:25.750><c> them</c><00:42:25.949><c> together</c>

00:42:26.269 --> 00:42:27.730

00:42:27.730 --> 00:42:31.369
Then<00:42:28.690><c> brought</c><00:42:29.130><c> all</c><00:42:29.489><c> Judah</c><00:42:29.809><c> the</c><00:42:30.230><c> tithes</c><00:42:30.650><c> of</c><00:42:30.789><c> the</c><00:42:30.989><c> corn</c>

00:47:00.050 --> 00:47:03.769
And<00:47:00.190><c> the</c><00:47:00.309><c> nation</c><00:47:00.610><c> is</c><00:47:00.909><c> now</c><00:47:02.449><c> almost</c><00:47:03.190><c> in</c><00:47:03.510><c> a</c><00:47:03.570><c> state</c>

00:47:09.469 --> 00:47:13.250
When<00:47:09.610><c> Christ</c><00:47:09.869><c> returns,</c><00:47:11.769><c> then</c><00:47:11.889><c> we</c><00:47:12.150><c> shall</c><00:47:12.309><c> be</c><00:47:12.610><c> like</c><00:47:12.889><c> him,</c>

00:47:16.590 --> 00:47:20.269
There's<00:47:16.929><c> no</c><00:47:17.269><c> greater</c><00:47:17.730><c> love</c><00:47:18.469><c> for</c><00:47:18.989><c> us</c>

00:47:20.349 --> 00:47:24.409

00:47:24.849 --> 00:47:27.530
That's<00:47:25.349><c> the</c><00:47:25.550><c> great</c><00:47:25.789><c> thing</c><00:47:26.030><c> that</c><00:47:26.170><c> we</c><00:47:26.269><c> look</c><00:47:26.469><c> forward</c><00:47:26.730><c> to,</c><00:47:26.909><c> isn't</c><00:47:27.070><c> it?</c>

00:47:27.829 --> 00:47:30.610
And<00:47:28.090><c> it</c><00:47:28.250><c> will</c><00:47:28.389><c> be</c><00:47:28.630><c> great</c><00:47:28.849><c> for</c><00:47:29.150><c> every</c><00:47:29.449><c> one</c><00:47:29.590><c> of</c><00:47:29.750><c> us.</c>

00:47:31.309 --> 00:47:36.230

So,<00:52:26.289><c> brothers</c><00:52:26.369><c> and</c><00:52:26.730><c> sisters,</c>

00:52:27.849 --> 00:52:32.789
how<00:52:28.110><c> are</c><00:52:28.329><c> we</c><00:52:28.530><c> doing</c><00:52:29.010><c> in</c><00:52:30.789><c> helping</c><00:52:31.130><c> with</c><00:52:31.590><c> collections?</c>

00:52:34.150 --> 00:52:38.389
How<00:52:34.829><c> are</c><00:52:35.070><c> we</c><00:52:35.250><c> doing</c><00:52:35.829><c> in</c><00:52:36.469><c> supporting</c><00:52:36.969><c> preaching</c><00:52:37.369><c> activity?</c>

00:52:39.090 --> 00:52:43.869
How<00:52:39.889><c> are</c><00:52:40.170><c> we</c><00:52:40.309><c> doing</c><00:52:40.710><c> in</c><00:52:41.670><c> helping</c><00:52:42.210><c> brothers</c><00:52:43.010><c> and</c><00:52:43.289><c> sisters</c>

00:52:43.869 --> 00:52:47.650
that<00:52:44.409><c> are</c><00:52:44.809><c> really</c><00:52:45.250><c> going</c><00:52:45.590><c> through</c><00:52:45.989><c> financial</c><00:52:46.610><c> hardship?</c>

00:52:49.829 --> 00:52:52.070
Think<00:52:50.050><c> if</c><00:52:50.170><c> we</c><00:52:50.289><c> all</c><00:52:50.429><c> look</c><00:52:50.670><c> inside</c><00:52:51.010><c> of</c><00:52:51.590><c> ourselves.</c>

00:52:52.130 --> 00:52:53.909
I<00:52:52.309><c> look</c><00:52:52.489><c> inside</c><00:52:52.730><c> of</c><00:52:52.909><c> myself.</c>

00:52:54.610 --> 00:52:59.530
We're<00:52:54.869><c> always</c><00:52:55.349><c> doing</c><00:52:55.789><c> far</c><00:52:56.369><c> less</c><00:52:57.010><c> than</c><00:52:57.530><c> we</c><00:52:57.710><c> are</c><00:52:57.929><c> able</c><00:52:58.210><c> to.</c>

00:52:59.809 --> 00:53:00.809
Right?

00:53:01.469 --> 00:53:03.010
That<00:53:01.889><c> picture</c><00:53:02.269><c> of</c><00:53:02.489><c> the</c><00:53:02.670><c> widow</c>

00:53:03.010 --> 00:53:05.730
putting<00:53:03.690><c> in</c><00:53:04.250><c> that</c><00:53:04.449><c> little</c><00:53:04.769><c> mite</c>

00:53:05.869 --> 00:53:07.690
into<00:53:06.469><c> the</c><00:53:06.769><c> treasury</c>

00:53:07.809 --> 00:53:11.309
is<00:53:08.409><c> something</c><00:53:08.829><c> that</c><00:53:09.610><c> continually</c><00:53:10.070><c> comes</c><00:53:10.469><c> up</c><00:53:10.670><c> in</c><00:53:10.849><c> our</c><00:53:11.050><c> minds,</c>

00:53:11.449 --> 00:53:12.510
isn't<00:53:11.570><c> it?</c>

00:53:13.130 --> 00:53:14.329
She<00:53:13.289><c> gave</c><00:53:13.510><c> everything</c><00:53:13.809><c> she</c><00:53:14.130><c> had.</c>

00:53:14.489 --> 00:53:15.869
It's<00:53:14.590><c> all</c><00:53:14.690><c> she</c><00:53:14.929><c> had.</c>

00:53:16.130 --> 00:53:18.530
She<00:53:16.369><c> believed</c><00:53:16.590><c> God</c><00:53:16.809><c> would</c><00:53:17.010><c> take</c><00:53:17.250><c> care</c><00:53:17.409><c> of</c><00:53:17.570><c> her.</c>

00:53:19.750 --> 00:53:22.630
We've<00:53:20.050><c> got</c><00:53:20.190><c> to</c><00:53:20.349><c> be</c><00:53:20.570><c> careful</c><00:53:21.090><c> to</c><00:53:21.550><c> husband</c><00:53:21.929><c> our</c><00:53:22.230><c> resources.</c>

00:53:22.949 --> 00:53:24.030
That<00:53:23.150><c> word</c><00:53:23.329><c> simply</c><00:53:23.610><c> means</c>

00:53:24.030 --> 00:53:27.829
we've<00:53:24.489><c> got</c><00:53:24.610><c> to</c><00:53:24.750><c> be</c><00:53:24.949><c> careful</c><00:53:25.230><c> to</c><00:53:25.610><c> use</c><00:53:25.949><c> them</c><00:53:26.449><c> intelligently</c><00:53:27.289><c> for</c>

00:53:27.829 --> 00:53:28.809
the<00:53:28.010><c> Lord.</c>

00:53:29.110 --> 00:53:31.489
We<00:53:29.570><c> can't</c><00:53:29.869><c> just</c><00:53:30.170><c> freely</c><00:53:30.409><c> throw</c><00:53:30.769><c> it</c><00:53:31.030><c> around.</c>

00:53:31.489 --> 00:53:35.070
That's<00:53:32.510><c> not</c><00:53:32.769><c> logical</c><00:53:33.510><c> or</c><00:53:33.989><c> sensible.</c>

00:53:35.670 --> 00:53:37.130
But<00:53:35.869><c> we</c><00:53:35.969><c> cannot</c><00:53:36.230><c> go</c><00:53:36.429><c> the</c><00:53:36.590><c> other</c><00:53:36.789><c> extreme</c>

00:53:37.130 --> 00:53:41.670
and<00:53:37.349><c> be</c><00:53:37.809><c> stingy,</c><00:53:39.170><c> selfish,</c><00:53:40.309><c> tight</c><00:53:40.630><c>-fisted,</c>

00:53:42.190 --> 00:53:43.309
having<00:53:42.630><c> the</c><00:53:43.050><c> attitude,</c>

00:53:43.369 --> 00:53:44.869
this<00:53:43.510><c> is</c><00:53:43.789><c> mine</c><00:53:43.969><c> and</c><00:53:44.090><c> you're</c><00:53:44.349><c> on</c><00:53:44.469><c> your</c><00:53:44.710><c> own.</c>

00:53:44.949 --> 00:53:45.690
Thanks<00:53:45.230><c> a</c><00:53:45.429><c> lot.</c>

00:53:45.809 --> 00:53:47.809
Hope<00:53:46.070><c> everything</c><00:53:46.409><c> works</c><00:53:46.750><c> out.</c>

00:53:48.010 --> 00:53:49.710
Be<00:53:48.289><c> warmed</c><00:53:48.510><c> and</c><00:53:48.690><c> be</c><00:53:48.949><c> fed.</c>

00:53:50.530 --> 00:53:53.289
Now<00:53:50.789><c> go.</c><00:53:51.269><c> God</c><00:53:51.489><c> be</c><00:53:51.670><c> with</c><00:53:51.829><c> you.</c>

00:53:53.530 --> 00:53:54.449
Right?

00:53:54.929 --> 00:53:56.829
If<00:53:55.130><c> we</c><00:53:55.369><c> give</c><00:53:55.550><c> to</c><00:53:55.829><c> God,</c>

00:53:57.269 --> 00:53:58.670
God<00:53:57.550><c> will</c><00:53:57.849><c> give</c><00:53:58.090><c> to</c><00:53:58.329><c> us.</c>

00:53:58.849 --> 00:54:00.449
I<00:53:59.190><c> know.</c><00:53:59.670><c> It's</c><00:54:00.150><c> so.</c>

00:54:00.449 --> 00:54:02.769
If<00:54:01.150><c> we</c><00:54:01.570><c> give</c><00:54:01.969><c> to</c><00:54:02.289><c> God,</c>

00:54:03.090 --> 00:54:05.909
God<00:54:03.510><c> will</c><00:54:03.849><c> give</c><00:54:04.309><c> to</c><00:54:04.590><c> us.</c>

00:54:08.050 --> 00:54:10.449
So,<00:54:08.989><c> verse</c><00:54:09.130><c> 13.</c>

00:54:10.730 --> 00:54:12.969
Your<00:54:10.889><c> words</c><00:54:11.130><c> have</c><00:54:11.329><c> been</c><00:54:11.550><c> stout</c><00:54:11.789><c> against</c><00:54:12.110><c> me,</c><00:54:12.369><c> saith</c><00:54:12.510><c> the</c><00:54:12.730><c> Lord.</c>

00:54:13.329 --> 00:54:14.489
They've<00:54:13.510><c> been</c><00:54:13.829><c> stout.</c>

00:54:14.750 --> 00:54:16.590
That's<00:54:15.090><c> the</c><00:54:15.190><c> same</c><00:54:15.349><c> word</c><00:54:15.530><c> that's</c><00:54:15.809><c> been</c><00:54:16.110><c> used</c>

00:54:16.590 --> 00:54:19.789
12<00:54:17.030><c> times</c><00:54:17.449><c> in</c><00:54:17.670><c> Exodus</c><00:54:17.969><c> in</c><00:54:18.190><c> connection</c><00:54:18.449><c> with</c><00:54:18.849><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:54:19.349><c> heart.</c>

00:54:20.230 --> 00:54:22.690
And<00:54:20.409><c> his</c><00:54:20.670><c> heart</c><00:54:21.050><c> was</c><00:54:21.570><c> hardened.</c>

00:54:22.710 --> 00:54:26.630
So<00:54:22.889><c> the</c><00:54:23.090><c> words</c><00:54:23.329><c> that</c><00:54:23.489><c> they</c><00:54:23.769><c> spoke</c><00:54:24.070><c> were</c><00:54:24.849><c> stout</c><00:54:25.590><c> against</c><00:54:26.030><c> the</c><00:54:26.289><c> Lord.</c>

00:54:27.130 --> 00:54:29.809
Your<00:54:27.369><c> words</c><00:54:27.630><c> have</c><00:54:27.849><c> been</c><00:54:28.050><c> stout</c><00:54:28.469><c> against</c><00:54:28.869><c> me,</c><00:54:29.170><c> saith</c><00:54:29.289><c> the</c><00:54:29.489><c> Lord.</c>

00:54:29.809 --> 00:54:31.929
Yet<00:54:30.510><c> you</c><00:54:30.869><c> say,</c>

00:54:32.309 --> 00:54:35.610
what<00:54:32.409><c> do</c><00:54:32.670><c> you</c><00:54:32.670><c> mean</c><00:54:32.829><c> we've</c><00:54:33.309><c> spoken</c><00:54:33.710><c> much</c><00:54:34.050><c> against</c><00:54:34.570><c> you?</c>

00:54:37.010 --> 00:54:39.369
See,<00:54:37.349><c> it's</c><00:54:37.570><c> a</c><00:54:37.730><c> shock</c><00:54:37.869><c> to</c><00:54:38.090><c> their</c><00:54:38.269><c> system.</c>

00:54:39.869 --> 00:54:41.889
Sometimes<00:54:40.210><c> we</c><00:54:40.409><c> become</c><00:54:40.610><c> so</c><00:54:40.949><c> entrenched</c><00:54:41.190><c> in</c><00:54:41.349><c> a</c><00:54:41.449><c> way</c><00:54:41.570><c> of</c><00:54:41.730><c> living</c>

00:54:41.889 --> 00:54:43.050
our<00:54:42.170><c> lives,</c>

00:54:43.309 --> 00:54:44.590
a<00:54:43.429><c> way</c><00:54:43.550><c> of</c><00:54:43.769><c> speaking,</c>

00:54:44.969 --> 00:54:46.269
a<00:54:45.050><c> way</c><00:54:45.210><c> of</c><00:54:45.429><c> behaving,</c>

00:54:46.789 --> 00:54:49.030
that<00:54:46.929><c> it's</c><00:54:47.289><c> almost</c><00:54:47.510><c> a</c><00:54:47.750><c> surprise</c><00:54:48.130><c> to</c><00:54:48.329><c> us</c><00:54:48.449><c> when</c><00:54:48.550><c> it's</c><00:54:48.889><c> pointed</c>

00:54:49.030 --> 00:54:50.789
out<00:54:49.329><c> to</c><00:54:49.469><c> us</c>

00:54:50.760 --> 00:54:52.530
what<00:54:51.010><c> we've</c><00:54:51.329><c> become</c>

00:54:52.730 --> 00:54:54.690
and<00:54:53.230><c> how</c><00:54:53.449><c> we</c><00:54:53.630><c> are</c><00:54:53.769><c> behaving.</c>

00:54:55.730 --> 00:54:57.869
Well,<00:54:55.949><c> in</c><00:54:56.130><c> the</c><00:54:56.230><c> next</c><00:54:56.429><c> session,</c><00:54:57.130><c> memorial</c><00:54:57.429><c> meeting,</c>

00:54:57.869 --> 00:55:01.369
we<00:54:58.789><c> will</c><00:54:58.929><c> look</c><00:54:59.110><c> at</c><00:54:59.269><c> the</c><00:54:59.369><c> rest</c><00:54:59.630><c> of</c><00:54:59.869><c> Malachi.</c>

00:55:07.289 --> 00:55:10.429
Our<00:55:07.389><c> great</c><00:55:07.630><c> and</c><00:55:07.829><c> almighty</c><00:55:08.250><c> Lord</c><00:55:08.530><c> God,</c><00:55:08.949><c> our</c><00:55:08.989><c> Heavenly</c><00:55:09.250><c> Father,</c>

00:55:11.590 --> 00:55:15.050
we<00:55:11.789><c> come</c><00:55:11.969><c> before</c><00:55:12.329><c> you</c><00:55:12.510><c> now</c><00:55:12.789><c> with</c><00:55:13.190><c> expressions</c><00:55:13.750><c> of</c><00:55:14.010><c> love.</c>

00:55:16.329 --> 00:55:18.909
We<00:55:16.469><c> thank</c><00:55:16.710><c> you</c><00:55:16.969><c> for</c><00:55:17.309><c> so</c><00:55:17.590><c> very</c><00:55:17.969><c> much.</c>

00:55:19.650 --> 00:55:22.469
