00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.099
Now,<00:03:11.520><c> we're</c><00:03:11.719><c> living</c><00:03:11.879><c> in</c><00:03:12.060><c> the</c><00:03:12.219><c> age</c><00:03:12.520><c> that</c><00:03:13.020><c> our</c><00:03:13.539><c> brethren</c><00:03:13.800><c> have</c>

00:03:14.099 --> 00:03:15.319
always<00:03:14.379><c> been</c><00:03:14.659><c> talking</c><00:03:14.919><c> about.</c>

00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.719
These<00:03:15.719><c> are</c><00:03:16.080><c> the</c><00:03:16.259><c> last</c><00:03:16.719><c> days.</c>

00:03:17.740 --> 00:03:21.939
So,<00:03:19.280><c> in</c><00:03:19.439><c> a</c><00:03:19.520><c> way,</c><00:03:19.659><c> we</c><00:03:19.719><c> shouldn't</c><00:03:19.919><c> be</c><00:03:20.180><c> surprised</c><00:03:20.699><c> about</c><00:03:21.039><c> them.</c>

00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.780
And<00:03:22.139><c> yet,</c><00:03:22.479><c> what's</c><00:03:22.740><c> happened</c><00:03:22.900><c> is</c><00:03:23.439><c> that</c><00:03:23.900><c> the</c><00:03:24.060><c> way</c><00:03:24.439><c> in</c><00:03:24.620><c> which</c>

00:03:24.780 --> 00:03:26.180
they<00:03:24.939><c> have</c><00:03:25.159><c> developed</c>

00:03:26.340 --> 00:03:30.599
has<00:03:26.900><c> become</c><00:03:27.340><c> something</c><00:03:28.080><c> of</c><00:03:28.620><c> a</c><00:03:28.900><c> surprise</c><00:03:29.379><c> to</c><00:03:30.060><c> all</c><00:03:30.300><c> of</c><00:03:30.400><c> us.</c>

00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.699
I<00:03:31.000><c> think</c><00:03:31.219><c> the</c><00:03:31.780><c> nature</c><00:03:32.219><c> and</c><00:03:32.699><c> intensity</c><00:03:33.400><c> of</c><00:03:34.099><c> the</c><00:03:34.319><c> developments</c>

00:03:34.699 --> 00:03:37.840
are<00:03:34.960><c> the</c><00:03:35.099><c> things</c><00:03:35.500><c> that</c><00:03:35.979><c> are</c><00:03:36.259><c> extremely</c><00:03:36.719><c> troublesome.</c>

00:03:38.419 --> 00:03:42.520
We<00:03:38.460><c> live</c><00:03:38.979><c> in</c><00:03:39.080><c> a</c><00:03:39.240><c> world</c><00:03:39.560><c> now</c><00:03:39.900><c> that's</c><00:03:40.539><c> one</c><00:03:40.699><c> of</c><00:03:40.900><c> constant</c><00:03:41.280><c> movement,</c><00:03:41.819><c> isn't</c><00:03:41.879><c> it?</c>

00:03:42.979 --> 00:03:46.500
Total<00:03:43.620><c> change</c><00:03:44.099><c> in</c><00:03:44.379><c> a</c><00:03:44.599><c> very</c><00:03:45.080><c> short</c><00:03:45.439><c> space</c><00:03:45.800><c> of</c><00:03:46.060><c> time.</c>

00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.240
24<00:03:47.240><c> hours</c><00:03:47.560><c> in</c><00:03:47.680><c> the</c><00:03:47.840><c> world</c><00:03:47.960><c> is</c><00:03:48.139><c> different</c><00:03:48.439><c> from</c><00:03:48.580><c> what</c><00:03:48.719><c> it</c><00:03:48.879><c> was</c>

00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:51.159
24<00:03:49.759><c> hours</c><00:03:50.120><c> before.</c>

00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:55.039
And<00:03:51.479><c> that's</c><00:03:51.900><c> partly</c><00:03:52.120><c> due,</c><00:03:52.840><c> of</c><00:03:53.360><c> course,</c><00:03:53.860><c> to</c><00:03:53.960><c> the</c><00:03:54.080><c> fact</c><00:03:54.280><c> that</c>

00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.560
we've<00:03:55.479><c> developed</c><00:03:55.620><c> electronics</c><00:03:56.280><c> to</c><00:03:56.560><c> such</c><00:03:56.719><c> an</c><00:03:56.960><c> extent</c>

00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.199
that<00:03:58.139><c> we're</c><00:03:58.379><c> able</c><00:03:59.360><c> to</c><00:04:00.439><c> know</c><00:04:00.560><c> what's</c><00:04:00.840><c> going</c><00:04:01.020><c> on</c>

00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.900
and<00:04:01.379><c> to</c><00:04:01.680><c> see</c><00:04:01.800><c> what</c><00:04:01.979><c> is</c><00:04:02.199><c> going</c><00:04:02.419><c> on</c><00:04:02.639><c> in</c><00:04:02.879><c> another</c><00:04:03.060><c> place</c><00:04:03.439><c> on</c><00:04:03.780><c> the</c>

00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:04.759
other<00:04:04.099><c> side</c><00:04:04.259><c> of</c><00:04:04.419><c> the</c><00:04:04.539><c> world</c>

00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:06.580
as<00:04:05.219><c> it</c><00:04:05.419><c> is</c><00:04:05.680><c> happening.</c>

00:04:06.860 --> 00:04:10.900
We<00:04:06.960><c> can</c><00:04:07.099><c> actually</c><00:04:07.360><c> see</c><00:04:07.599><c> people</c><00:04:07.979><c> being</c><00:04:08.400><c> killed</c><00:04:08.939><c> as</c><00:04:09.500><c> it</c><00:04:09.759><c> is</c><00:04:10.020><c> happening.</c>

00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.199
Now,<00:04:11.360><c> that's</c><00:04:11.680><c> a</c><00:04:11.819><c> frightening</c><00:04:12.039><c> world</c><00:04:12.319><c> to</c><00:04:12.520><c> live</c><00:04:12.680><c> in,</c>

00:04:13.460 --> 00:04:15.860
and<00:04:13.580><c> we</c><00:04:13.719><c> haven't</c><00:04:13.900><c> yet</c><00:04:14.120><c> come</c><00:04:14.300><c> to</c><00:04:14.479><c> terms</c><00:04:14.719><c> with</c><00:04:14.919><c> it.</c>

00:04:15.900 --> 00:04:17.420
I<00:04:16.060><c> rang</c><00:04:16.240><c> up</c><00:04:16.420><c> Sister</c><00:04:16.600><c> Bernice</c><00:04:16.899><c> this</c><00:04:17.120><c> morning,</c>

00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.699
and<00:04:18.000><c> it</c><00:04:18.540><c> was</c><00:04:18.699><c> just</c><00:04:18.920><c> like</c><00:04:19.139><c> speaking</c><00:04:19.339><c> to</c><00:04:19.500><c> her</c><00:04:19.720><c> in</c><00:04:19.959><c> the</c><00:04:20.079><c> next</c><00:04:20.300><c> room.</c>

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.800
It<00:04:21.139><c> was</c><00:04:21.339><c> as</c><00:04:21.720><c> clear</c><00:04:22.000><c> as</c><00:04:22.279><c> crystal,</c><00:04:23.360><c> absolutely</c><00:04:23.759><c> clear</c><00:04:24.160><c> as</c><00:04:24.379><c> crystal.</c>

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.860
One<00:04:25.459><c> of</c><00:04:25.579><c> the</c><00:04:25.699><c> wonders</c><00:04:25.899><c> of</c><00:04:26.100><c> the</c><00:04:26.220><c> age</c><00:04:26.360><c> in</c><00:04:26.459><c> which</c><00:04:26.579><c> we</c><00:04:26.839><c> live.</c>

00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.199
And<00:04:28.439><c> then</c><00:04:28.660><c> I</c><00:04:28.779><c> had</c><00:04:28.959><c> a</c><00:04:29.079><c> telephone</c><00:04:29.300><c> call</c><00:04:29.540><c> from</c><00:04:29.699><c> Mike</c><00:04:29.939><c> saying,</c>

00:04:30.259 --> 00:04:31.019
can<00:04:30.360><c> you</c><00:04:30.480><c> come</c><00:04:30.680><c> here?</c>

00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.519
And<00:04:31.459><c> that</c><00:04:31.600><c> was</c><00:04:31.800><c> clear</c><00:04:32.000><c> as</c><00:04:32.180><c> crystal</c><00:04:32.420><c> as</c><00:04:32.660><c> well.</c>

00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:42.279
And<00:04:36.319><c> with</c><00:04:36.720><c> Mike's</c><00:04:37.259><c> very</c><00:04:37.980><c> gentle,</c><00:04:39.899><c> persuasive,</c><00:04:40.560><c> quiet</c><00:04:41.339><c> way,</c>

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.300
I<00:04:43.199><c> finally</c><00:04:43.560><c> decided</c><00:04:43.959><c> to</c><00:04:44.160><c> say</c><00:04:44.360><c> yes.</c>

00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:49.120
But<00:04:46.740><c> still,</c><00:04:46.959><c> that</c><00:04:47.160><c> is</c><00:04:47.360><c> the</c><00:04:47.459><c> world</c><00:04:47.519><c> we</c><00:04:47.720><c> live</c><00:04:47.819><c> in,</c><00:04:47.980><c> isn't</c><00:04:48.079><c> it?</c>

00:04:49.139 --> 00:04:51.819
And<00:04:49.540><c> it's</c><00:04:49.660><c> a</c><00:04:49.779><c> world</c><00:04:49.860><c> of</c><00:04:50.139><c> great</c><00:04:50.480><c> instability.</c>

00:04:52.339 --> 00:04:56.620
I<00:04:53.019><c> mean,</c><00:04:53.500><c> the</c><00:04:53.600><c> North</c><00:04:53.860><c> American</c><00:04:54.240><c> continent</c><00:04:54.720><c> is</c><00:04:56.120><c> balanced</c>

00:04:56.620 --> 00:05:00.139
on<00:04:56.959><c> a</c><00:04:57.199><c> millionth</c><00:04:57.540><c> of</c><00:04:57.620><c> a</c><00:04:57.720><c> pinhead,</c><00:04:58.300><c> really,</c><00:04:58.360><c> isn't</c><00:04:58.500><c> it,</c><00:04:59.300><c> economically?</c>

00:05:01.420 --> 00:05:06.540
In<00:05:01.540><c> fact,</c><00:05:02.160><c> a</c><00:05:02.300><c> large</c><00:05:02.519><c> part</c><00:05:02.819><c> of</c><00:05:02.939><c> it</c><00:05:03.519><c> is</c><00:05:03.980><c> sustained</c><00:05:04.540><c> by,</c><00:05:05.160><c> I</c><00:05:05.439><c> suppose,</c>

00:05:07.220 --> 00:05:10.579
almost<00:05:07.399><c> the</c><00:05:07.720><c> greatest</c><00:05:08.300><c> contract</c><00:05:08.860><c> that</c><00:05:09.139><c> the</c><00:05:09.300><c> world</c><00:05:09.699><c> has</c><00:05:10.319><c> ever</c>

00:05:10.579 --> 00:05:11.480
had<00:05:10.800><c> in</c><00:05:10.980><c> a</c><00:05:11.139><c> way,</c>

00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:16.399
that<00:05:12.319><c> we</c><00:05:12.899><c> have</c><00:05:13.060><c> the</c><00:05:13.259><c> idea</c><00:05:13.660><c> that</c><00:05:14.720><c> the</c><00:05:14.959><c> economies</c><00:05:15.399><c> of</c><00:05:15.699><c> the</c><00:05:15.879><c> world</c>

00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.459
are<00:05:17.199><c> held</c><00:05:17.439><c> together</c><00:05:17.899><c> by</c><00:05:18.180><c> something</c><00:05:18.480><c> that's</c><00:05:19.180><c> substantial.</c>

00:05:19.459 --> 00:05:24.300
And<00:05:20.540><c> they're</c><00:05:20.819><c> not</c><00:05:20.959><c> held</c><00:05:21.100><c> together</c><00:05:21.399><c> by</c><00:05:22.199><c> anything</c><00:05:22.540><c> at</c><00:05:22.779><c> all,</c><00:05:23.180><c> really,</c>

00:05:24.339 --> 00:05:26.259
because<00:05:24.500><c> everybody</c><00:05:24.879><c> has</c><00:05:25.160><c> borrowed</c><00:05:25.339><c> from</c><00:05:25.519><c> everybody</c><00:05:25.939><c> else,</c>

00:05:26.339 --> 00:05:28.959
and<00:05:26.439><c> the</c><00:05:26.560><c> Japanese</c><00:05:26.899><c> keep</c><00:05:27.279><c> the</c><00:05:27.620><c> North</c><00:05:27.839><c> American</c><00:05:28.180><c> continent</c><00:05:28.620><c> going.</c>

00:05:29.180 --> 00:05:31.899
And<00:05:29.319><c> if</c><00:05:29.339><c> they</c><00:05:29.600><c> stopped</c><00:05:29.959><c> doing</c><00:05:30.339><c> it,</c><00:05:30.800><c> then</c><00:05:30.980><c> there'd</c><00:05:31.199><c> be</c><00:05:31.300><c> great</c><00:05:31.480><c> trouble.</c>

00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.300
So<00:05:32.560><c> our</c><00:05:32.720><c> world</c><00:05:32.860><c> is</c><00:05:33.040><c> all</c><00:05:33.279><c> interlocked,</c><00:05:33.860><c> that's</c><00:05:34.120><c> the</c><00:05:34.259><c> next</c><00:05:34.480><c> thing.</c>

00:05:35.459 --> 00:05:37.899
So<00:05:35.819><c> it</c><00:05:36.040><c> may</c><00:05:36.199><c> be</c><00:05:36.399><c> some</c><00:05:36.579><c> very</c><00:05:37.000><c> small</c><00:05:37.360><c> country</c>

00:05:37.899 --> 00:05:40.420
that<00:05:38.339><c> finally</c><00:05:38.639><c> turns</c><00:05:38.920><c> the</c><00:05:39.139><c> world</c><00:05:39.339><c> upside</c><00:05:39.860><c> down,</c>

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.720
just<00:05:40.899><c> some</c><00:05:41.259><c> little</c><00:05:41.540><c> development.</c>

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.819
Why<00:05:43.920><c> Yugoslavia</c><00:05:44.480><c> should</c><00:05:44.660><c> be</c><00:05:44.879><c> undergoing</c><00:05:45.220><c> its</c><00:05:45.459><c> present</c><00:05:45.800><c> breakup?</c>

00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:49.819
Isn't<00:05:48.480><c> it</c><00:05:48.639><c> all</c><00:05:48.899><c> clear,</c><00:05:49.259><c> prophetically?</c>

00:05:49.939 --> 00:05:54.060
I<00:05:49.939><c> mean,</c><00:05:50.160><c> it's</c><00:05:50.279><c> an</c><00:05:50.459><c> area</c><00:05:50.759><c> which</c><00:05:51.399><c> has</c><00:05:51.680><c> constantly</c><00:05:52.160><c> been</c><00:05:52.399><c> a</c><00:05:52.560><c> place</c><00:05:52.680><c> of</c><00:05:52.920><c> trouble.</c>

00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:58.420
The<00:05:54.660><c> Croats</c><00:05:55.040><c> and</c><00:05:55.240><c> the</c><00:05:55.459><c> Slovenes</c><00:05:56.000><c> and</c><00:05:56.740><c> the</c><00:05:57.160><c> Serbs,</c>

00:05:59.019 --> 00:06:00.759
as<00:05:59.420><c> well</c><00:05:59.540><c> as</c><00:05:59.699><c> others</c><00:05:59.920><c> in</c><00:06:00.240><c> that</c><00:06:00.379><c> area,</c>

00:06:00.939 --> 00:06:03.040
and<00:06:01.339><c> the</c><00:06:01.620><c> whole</c><00:06:01.819><c> place</c><00:06:02.019><c> can</c><00:06:02.220><c> fall</c><00:06:02.439><c> apart.</c>

00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:06.839
But<00:06:03.600><c> they've</c><00:06:03.779><c> got</c><00:06:03.939><c> boundaries</c><00:06:04.519><c> that</c><00:06:05.060><c> meet</c><00:06:05.379><c> Greece</c><00:06:05.899><c> and</c><00:06:06.139><c> so</c><00:06:06.319><c> on.</c>

00:06:06.980 --> 00:06:10.800
So<00:06:07.339><c> the</c><00:06:07.480><c> world</c><00:06:07.699><c> itself</c><00:06:08.120><c> can</c><00:06:09.000><c> very</c><00:06:09.839><c> quickly,</c>

00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:12.720
in<00:06:11.060><c> just</c><00:06:11.300><c> a</c><00:06:11.420><c> tick</c><00:06:11.500><c> of</c><00:06:11.660><c> the</c><00:06:11.819><c> clock,</c><00:06:12.600><c> change,</c>

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:18.980
especially<00:06:13.120><c> if</c><00:06:13.279><c> somebody</c><00:06:13.579><c> is</c><00:06:15.779><c> mad</c><00:06:16.920><c> or</c><00:06:17.860><c> desperate.</c>

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:23.079

00:06:27.379 --> 00:06:30.199
And<00:06:27.560><c> although</c><00:06:27.920><c> everybody</c><00:06:28.379><c> is</c><00:06:28.600><c> playing</c><00:06:28.720><c> it</c><00:06:28.980><c> low</c><00:06:29.259><c>-key,</c>

00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.180

as<00:06:33.540><c> to</c><00:06:33.660><c> what</c><00:06:33.800><c> might</c><00:06:34.079><c> happen</c><00:06:34.540><c> if,</c><00:06:35.000><c> in</c><00:06:35.160><c> fact,</c><00:06:35.300><c> those</c><00:06:35.519><c> were</c><00:06:35.779><c> used.</c>

00:06:36.540 --> 00:06:39.000
For<00:06:36.759><c> example,</c><00:06:37.040><c> if</c><00:06:37.199><c> any</c><00:06:37.560><c> of</c><00:06:37.759><c> them</c><00:06:37.879><c> were</c><00:06:38.100><c> to</c><00:06:38.259><c> be</c><00:06:38.379><c> in</c><00:06:38.519><c> those</c>

00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.220
which<00:06:42.899><c> are</c><00:06:43.120><c> Muslim,</c>

00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:48.620
and<00:06:46.459><c> that</c><00:06:46.560><c> they</c><00:06:46.740><c> were</c><00:06:46.959><c> to</c><00:06:47.100><c> be</c><00:06:47.259><c> triggered</c><00:06:47.459><c> off</c><00:06:47.879><c> by</c><00:06:48.279><c> something</c>

00:06:48.620 --> 00:06:49.420

00:06:49.420 --> 00:06:50.980

00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.139

And<00:06:56.420><c> those</c><00:06:56.860><c> are</c><00:06:57.199><c> frightening.</c>

00:06:57.620 --> 00:07:02.660
By<00:06:57.920><c> the</c><00:06:58.180><c> end</c><00:06:58.660><c> of</c><00:06:59.019><c> this</c><00:06:59.279><c> millennium,</c><00:07:00.360><c> so</c><00:07:00.779><c> this</c><00:07:01.139><c> is</c><00:07:01.620><c> nine</c><00:07:02.100><c> years</c>

We<00:08:22.540><c> thought</c><00:08:22.860><c> that</c><00:08:23.079><c> what</c><00:08:23.199><c> it</c><00:08:23.319><c> would</c><00:08:23.459><c> be</c><00:08:23.620><c> would</c><00:08:23.740><c> be</c><00:08:23.860><c> a</c><00:08:23.939><c> great</c><00:08:24.800><c> mass</c><00:08:25.100><c> up</c>

00:08:25.220 --> 00:08:25.920
of<00:08:25.519><c> people</c>

00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:30.240
in<00:08:26.180><c> the</c><00:08:26.420><c> north,</c><00:08:26.819><c> looking</c><00:08:27.120><c> down</c><00:08:27.439><c> on</c><00:08:27.600><c> the</c><00:08:27.800><c> land,</c><00:08:28.660><c> and</c><00:08:28.819><c> so</c><00:08:29.040><c> on.</c>

00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:34.740
And<00:08:30.779><c> it</c><00:08:30.839><c> isn't</c><00:08:31.339><c> looking</c><00:08:31.920><c> just</c><00:08:32.600><c> like</c><00:08:32.860><c> that</c><00:08:32.980><c> at</c><00:08:33.100><c> the</c><00:08:33.220><c> moment,</c><00:08:33.500><c> is</c><00:08:33.559><c> it?</c>

00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:36.080
Though<00:08:35.080><c> that</c><00:08:35.220><c> can</c><00:08:35.399><c> easily</c><00:08:35.700><c> develop.</c>

00:08:36.179 --> 00:08:40.120
Our<00:08:36.360><c> world</c><00:08:36.500><c> is</c><00:08:36.740><c> different,</c><00:08:38.480><c> altogether</c><00:08:38.919><c> different.</c>

00:08:40.139 --> 00:08:43.059
And<00:08:40.580><c> therefore,</c><00:08:40.899><c> trying</c><00:08:41.100><c> to</c><00:08:41.559><c> find</c><00:08:41.779><c> one's</c><00:08:42.139><c> way</c><00:08:42.340><c> through</c><00:08:42.620><c> it</c>

00:08:43.059 --> 00:08:44.600
isn't<00:08:43.279><c> very</c><00:08:43.580><c> easy.</c>

00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:47.779

And<00:09:53.039><c> that's</c><00:09:53.159><c> what</c><00:09:53.259><c> we</c><00:09:53.399><c> need</c><00:09:53.559><c> to</c><00:09:53.720><c> do.</c>

00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:56.440
Looking<00:09:55.740><c> at</c><00:09:55.899><c> our</c><00:09:56.019><c> brotherhood,</c>

And<00:10:48.860><c> maybe</c><00:10:49.059><c> we've</c><00:10:49.240><c> been</c><00:10:49.399><c> overtaken</c><00:10:49.799><c> in</c><00:10:49.980><c> some</c><00:10:50.139><c> measure</c>

00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:54.440
in<00:10:51.220><c> what</c><00:10:51.360><c> we</c><00:10:51.559><c> have</c><00:10:51.700><c> to</c><00:10:51.899><c> say</c><00:10:52.240><c> by</c><00:10:53.080><c> their</c><00:10:53.460><c> behaviour.</c>

00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:57.899
Where<00:10:56.460><c> is</c><00:10:56.720><c> the</c><00:10:57.000><c> fire</c><00:10:57.320><c> then</c>

00:10:57.899 --> 00:11:01.480
that<00:10:58.659><c> our</c><00:10:58.980><c> early</c><00:10:59.580><c> brethren</c><00:11:00.139><c> kindled?</c>

00:11:01.539 --> 00:11:02.980
Because<00:11:01.860><c> instead</c><00:11:02.080><c> of</c><00:11:02.200><c> blaming</c><00:11:02.480><c> other</c><00:11:02.759><c> people,</c>

00:11:02.980 --> 00:11:05.059
we've<00:11:03.179><c> got</c><00:11:03.259><c> to</c><00:11:03.399><c> have</c><00:11:03.559><c> a</c><00:11:03.639><c> look</c><00:11:04.100><c> at</c><00:11:04.419><c> ourselves.</c>

00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.059
You<00:11:05.419><c> at</c><00:11:05.559><c> you</c><00:11:05.980><c> and</c><00:11:06.259><c> me</c><00:11:06.440><c> at</c><00:11:06.620><c> me.</c>

00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:09.080
That's<00:11:07.600><c> what</c><00:11:07.659><c> we've</c><00:11:07.860><c> got</c><00:11:07.960><c> to</c><00:11:08.159><c> do</c>

00:11:09.220 --> 00:11:11.860
and<00:11:09.480><c> to</c><00:11:09.700><c> see</c><00:11:09.799><c> how</c><00:11:10.220><c> we</c><00:11:10.620><c> can,</c><00:11:10.860><c> in</c><00:11:11.059><c> fact,</c>

00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.080
put<00:11:12.360><c> things</c><00:11:12.600><c> right</c><00:11:13.159><c> if</c><00:11:13.440><c> they</c><00:11:13.659><c> need</c><00:11:13.860><c> to</c><00:11:14.019><c> be</c><00:11:14.159><c> put</c><00:11:14.340><c> right.</c>

00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:16.299
Now,<00:11:15.539><c> there</c><00:11:15.639><c> is</c><00:11:15.840><c> a</c><00:11:16.019><c> scripture,</c>

00:11:16.460 --> 00:11:17.620
and<00:11:16.460><c> you'd</c><00:11:16.860><c> better</c><00:11:16.860><c> just</c><00:11:17.179><c> look</c><00:11:17.320><c> at</c><00:11:17.460><c> it,</c>

00:11:17.659 --> 00:11:20.779
and<00:11:17.759><c> it's</c><00:11:18.039><c> in</c><00:11:18.379><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:11:19.039><c> chapter</c><00:11:19.539><c> 7,</c>

00:11:22.419 --> 00:11:24.940
which<00:11:22.580><c> is</c><00:11:22.840><c> a</c><00:11:23.039><c> kind</c><00:11:23.159><c> of</c><00:11:23.279><c> warning</c><00:11:23.639><c> scripture.</c>

00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:33.279
It<00:11:31.559><c> is</c><00:11:31.720><c> said</c><00:11:31.860><c> that</c><00:11:32.000><c> as</c><00:11:32.299><c> people</c><00:11:32.539><c> get</c><00:11:32.860><c> older,</c>

00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.639
then<00:11:34.059><c> the</c><00:11:34.539><c> past</c><00:11:34.860><c> always</c><00:11:35.259><c> becomes</c><00:11:35.659><c> more</c><00:11:36.120><c> rosy.</c>

00:11:36.700 --> 00:11:37.879
Whether<00:11:36.860><c> that's</c><00:11:37.100><c> true,</c><00:11:37.279><c> I</c><00:11:37.379><c> wouldn't</c><00:11:37.600><c> know,</c>

00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:42.779
but<00:11:38.879><c> that's</c><00:11:40.259><c> what</c><00:11:41.220><c> people</c><00:11:41.500><c> say.</c>

00:11:43.299 --> 00:11:47.639
You<00:11:43.299><c> know,</c><00:11:44.820><c> the</c><00:11:45.019><c> old</c><00:11:45.419><c> days,</c><00:11:45.960><c> the</c><00:11:46.340><c> good</c><00:11:46.679><c> old</c><00:11:47.039><c> days.</c>

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.559
Now,<00:11:48.179><c> I've</c><00:11:48.279><c> got</c><00:11:48.340><c> an</c><00:11:48.539><c> idea</c><00:11:48.860><c> that</c><00:11:50.200><c> age</c><00:11:50.779><c> produces</c>

00:11:51.580 --> 00:11:56.139
a<00:11:51.759><c> pair</c><00:11:51.919><c> of</c><00:11:52.600><c> rose</c><00:11:53.059><c>-tinted</c><00:11:53.820><c> retro</c><00:11:54.299><c> spectacles</c><00:11:54.840><c> to</c><00:11:55.039><c> look</c><00:11:55.220><c> through,</c>

00:11:56.340 --> 00:11:56.980
and<00:11:56.399><c> that</c><00:11:56.519><c> they</c><00:11:56.679><c> are</c><00:11:56.799><c> the</c><00:11:56.899><c> thing.</c>

00:11:57.059 --> 00:12:00.659
I<00:11:57.120><c> don't</c><00:11:57.240><c> think</c><00:11:57.320><c> it</c><00:11:57.440><c> ever</c><00:11:57.659><c> really</c><00:11:58.080><c> was</c><00:11:58.360><c> like</c><00:11:58.820><c> people</c><00:11:59.159><c> say</c><00:11:59.519><c> it</c><00:11:59.720><c> was,</c>

00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.620
but<00:12:01.679><c> being</c><00:12:02.100><c> in</c><00:12:02.240><c> the</c><00:12:02.379><c> mess</c><00:12:02.559><c> that</c><00:12:02.840><c> we</c><00:12:02.980><c> are</c><00:12:03.139><c> now</c><00:12:03.360><c> in,</c>

00:12:03.700 --> 00:12:06.720
it<00:12:03.840><c> feels</c><00:12:04.159><c> as</c><00:12:04.320><c> though</c><00:12:04.419><c> it</c><00:12:04.460><c> was</c><00:12:04.639><c> better</c><00:12:05.299><c> all</c><00:12:05.899><c> that</c><00:12:06.080><c> time</c><00:12:06.340><c> ago.</c>

00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:11.320
But<00:12:07.399><c> here's</c><00:12:07.679><c> the</c><00:12:07.840><c> verse</c><00:12:08.080><c> in</c><00:12:08.279><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:12:08.899><c> chapter</c><00:12:09.299><c> 7,</c>

00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:14.740
verse<00:12:13.580><c> 10.</c>

00:12:15.139 --> 00:12:16.679
Say<00:12:15.279><c> not</c><00:12:15.679><c> thou,</c>

00:12:17.299 --> 00:12:20.080
what<00:12:17.600><c> is</c><00:12:17.860><c> the</c><00:12:18.200><c> cause</c><00:12:18.700><c> that</c><00:12:18.960><c> the</c><00:12:19.320><c> former</c><00:12:19.620><c> days</c>

00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.379
were<00:12:20.299><c> better</c><00:12:20.620><c> than</c><00:12:20.940><c> these?</c>

00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:27.440
For<00:12:24.480><c> thou</c><00:12:24.700><c> dost</c><00:12:24.960><c> not</c><00:12:25.299><c> inquire</c><00:12:25.840><c> wisely</c>

00:12:28.379 --> 00:12:30.200
concerning<00:12:29.039><c> this.</c>

00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:33.200
All<00:12:31.899><c> right?</c>

00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:35.919
So<00:12:34.299><c> the</c><00:12:34.399><c> idea</c><00:12:34.779><c> that</c><00:12:35.000><c> we</c><00:12:35.159><c> should</c><00:12:35.259><c> be</c><00:12:35.440><c> looking</c><00:12:35.600><c> back</c>

00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.360
and<00:12:36.100><c> saying</c><00:12:36.200><c> the</c><00:12:36.500><c> former</c><00:12:36.740><c> days</c><00:12:37.080><c> were</c><00:12:37.419><c> better</c><00:12:37.779><c> than</c><00:12:38.100><c> these,</c>

00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:41.399
the<00:12:39.840><c> wise</c><00:12:40.059><c> man</c><00:12:40.340><c> says,</c>

00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:42.879
you're<00:12:41.860><c> on</c><00:12:42.000><c> the</c><00:12:42.120><c> wrong</c><00:12:42.279><c> track</c>

00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:44.820
if<00:12:43.500><c> that's</c><00:12:43.740><c> how</c><00:12:43.879><c> you're</c><00:12:44.039><c> looking</c><00:12:44.200><c> at</c><00:12:44.460><c> life.</c>

00:12:45.100 --> 00:12:47.080
If<00:12:45.159><c> you're</c><00:12:45.320><c> just</c><00:12:45.480><c> going</c><00:12:45.679><c> back</c><00:12:46.059><c> and</c><00:12:46.299><c> saying,</c>

00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:49.419
ah,<00:12:47.799><c> well,</c><00:12:47.980><c> the</c><00:12:48.200><c> old</c><00:12:48.500><c> days</c><00:12:48.860><c> were</c><00:12:49.100><c> better.</c>

00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.139
What<00:12:49.779><c> was</c><00:12:49.960><c> it</c><00:12:50.100><c> that</c><00:12:50.279><c> they</c><00:12:50.620><c> had</c>

00:12:51.139 --> 00:12:54.100
that<00:12:51.700><c> was</c><00:12:51.879><c> better</c><00:12:52.220><c> than</c><00:12:52.419><c> what</c><00:12:52.639><c> we</c><00:12:52.899><c> have</c><00:12:53.120><c> got?</c>

00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:57.399
You<00:12:55.480><c> don't</c><00:12:55.720><c> inquire</c><00:12:56.240><c> wisely.</c>

00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.399
Why<00:12:58.679><c> do</c><00:12:58.820><c> you</c><00:12:58.860><c> think</c><00:12:58.919><c> that</c><00:12:59.220><c> is?</c>

00:13:01.500 --> 00:13:03.340
I<00:13:01.639><c> mean,</c><00:13:01.639><c> why</c><00:13:01.779><c> should</c><00:13:01.879><c> he</c><00:13:02.100><c> say</c><00:13:02.279><c> that?</c>

00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:05.440
Because<00:13:03.879><c> if</c><00:13:04.120><c> the</c><00:13:04.279><c> former</c><00:13:04.440><c> days</c><00:13:04.659><c> were</c><00:13:04.840><c> better</c><00:13:05.080><c> than</c><00:13:05.279><c> these,</c>

00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:07.980
why<00:13:05.700><c> shouldn't</c><00:13:06.179><c> it</c><00:13:06.379><c> be</c><00:13:06.580><c> a</c><00:13:06.679><c> good</c><00:13:06.820><c> thing</c><00:13:07.019><c> to</c><00:13:07.120><c> look</c><00:13:07.399><c> back</c>

00:13:07.980 --> 00:13:09.600

00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.519

00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:14.860
Why<00:13:14.019><c> not?</c>

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:17.279
Because<00:13:15.279><c> we've</c><00:13:15.799><c> obviously</c><00:13:15.980><c> been</c><00:13:16.179><c> told</c><00:13:16.299><c> not</c><00:13:16.519><c> to</c><00:13:16.679><c> do</c><00:13:16.860><c> that,</c>

00:13:19.740 --> 00:13:21.360
always<00:13:19.879><c> to</c><00:13:20.019><c> be</c><00:13:20.159><c> looking</c><00:13:20.340><c> backwards</c><00:13:20.840><c> and</c><00:13:21.120><c> saying</c>

You<00:13:24.179><c> see,</c><00:13:24.720><c> the</c><00:13:24.779><c> fact</c><00:13:25.000><c> is,</c>

00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.419
the<00:13:27.039><c> truth</c><00:13:27.139><c> has</c><00:13:27.340><c> existed</c><00:13:27.659><c> now</c><00:13:27.860><c> for</c><00:13:27.980><c> about</c><00:13:28.240><c> 150</c><00:13:28.799><c> years.</c>

00:13:33.019 --> 00:13:34.480
And<00:13:33.240><c> so</c><00:13:33.460><c> there</c><00:13:33.659><c> were</c><00:13:34.039><c> days</c>

00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.440
when<00:13:34.700><c> the</c><00:13:34.960><c> truth</c><00:13:35.120><c> began.</c>

00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:38.639
And<00:13:36.840><c> they</c><00:13:37.139><c> had</c><00:13:37.559><c> a</c><00:13:37.860><c> way</c><00:13:38.080><c> of</c><00:13:38.399><c> saying</c>

00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.539
that<00:13:39.000><c> the</c><00:13:39.620><c> former</c><00:13:39.860><c> days</c><00:13:40.220><c> were</c><00:13:40.480><c> better</c><00:13:40.799><c> than</c><00:13:41.080><c> these</c>

00:13:41.539 --> 00:13:42.960
in<00:13:41.799><c> the</c><00:13:41.940><c> world</c><00:13:42.059><c> in</c><00:13:42.159><c> which</c><00:13:42.320><c> they</c><00:13:42.620><c> lived.</c>

00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:44.759
And<00:13:43.340><c> so</c><00:13:43.440><c> I</c><00:13:43.500><c> suppose</c><00:13:43.720><c> Brother</c><00:13:44.000><c> Thomas</c><00:13:44.259><c> and</c><00:13:44.419><c> the</c><00:13:44.559><c> others</c>

00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:48.279
went<00:13:45.220><c> back</c><00:13:45.639><c> and</c><00:13:46.039><c> looked</c><00:13:46.240><c> at</c><00:13:46.720><c> the</c><00:13:47.059><c> apostolic</c><00:13:47.740><c> days</c>

00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.740
because<00:13:49.139><c> the</c><00:13:49.879><c> truth</c><00:13:50.039><c> was</c><00:13:50.279><c> emerging</c>

00:13:50.740 --> 00:13:53.899
from<00:13:51.019><c> the</c><00:13:51.320><c> morass</c><00:13:51.879><c> of</c><00:13:52.139><c> Christendom,</c><00:13:52.679><c> wasn't</c><00:13:52.840><c> it?</c>

00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.700
Just<00:13:54.460><c> by</c><00:13:54.659><c> the</c><00:13:54.879><c> labours</c><00:13:55.139><c> of</c><00:13:55.360><c> our</c><00:13:55.500><c> early</c><00:13:55.759><c> brethren.</c>

00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:00.240
And<00:13:57.279><c> they</c><00:13:57.519><c> then</c><00:13:58.100><c> had</c><00:13:58.440><c> to</c><00:13:58.559><c> look</c><00:13:58.639><c> back</c><00:13:58.899><c> over</c><00:13:59.100><c> an</c><00:13:59.340><c> arch</c><00:13:59.539><c> of</c><00:13:59.860><c> years</c>

00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:04.320
until<00:14:00.740><c> they</c><00:14:01.080><c> went</c><00:14:01.279><c> back</c><00:14:01.559><c> to</c><00:14:02.419><c> the</c><00:14:02.419><c> first</c><00:14:03.240><c> century.</c>

00:14:04.580 --> 00:14:07.639
I<00:14:04.659><c> suppose</c><00:14:04.820><c> since</c><00:14:05.620><c> Brother</c><00:14:05.960><c> Alan's</c><00:14:06.860><c> protestors</c>

00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.500
have<00:14:07.779><c> been</c><00:14:07.940><c> written,</c><00:14:08.200><c> then</c><00:14:08.340><c> we</c><00:14:08.460><c> know</c><00:14:08.639><c> in</c><00:14:08.820><c> actual</c><00:14:09.159><c> fact</c>

00:14:09.500 --> 00:14:11.080
that<00:14:09.919><c> there</c><00:14:10.000><c> were</c><00:14:10.159><c> other</c><00:14:10.460><c> arches</c>

00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.779
and<00:14:11.399><c> they</c><00:14:11.519><c> were</c><00:14:11.679><c> all</c><00:14:11.879><c> joined</c><00:14:12.059><c> together,</c><00:14:12.779><c> taking</c><00:14:13.059><c> us</c><00:14:13.340><c> back.</c>

00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:15.919
But<00:14:14.379><c> in</c><00:14:14.460><c> those</c><00:14:14.659><c> days,</c><00:14:15.139><c> I</c><00:14:15.220><c> think</c><00:14:15.440><c> Brother</c><00:14:15.720><c> Thomas</c>

00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:20.220
would<00:14:16.240><c> look</c><00:14:16.500><c> back</c><00:14:16.919><c> particularly</c><00:14:17.580><c> to</c><00:14:18.799><c> the</c><00:14:19.100><c> first</c><00:14:19.679><c> century.</c>

00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.840
And<00:14:20.799><c> we</c><00:14:21.000><c> tend</c><00:14:21.179><c> to</c><00:14:21.320><c> look</c><00:14:21.519><c> back</c><00:14:21.860><c> to</c><00:14:22.000><c> his</c><00:14:22.340><c> time</c>

00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:24.500
and<00:14:23.139><c> to</c><00:14:23.279><c> that</c><00:14:23.720><c> of</c><00:14:23.940><c> Brother</c><00:14:24.120><c> Roberts</c>

00:14:24.500 --> 00:14:27.320
and<00:14:24.700><c> think</c><00:14:24.919><c> that,</c><00:14:25.440><c> well,</c><00:14:26.460><c> that</c><00:14:26.700><c> was</c><00:14:26.899><c> the</c><00:14:27.100><c> time.</c>

00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:30.320
And<00:14:27.480><c> if</c><00:14:27.620><c> only</c><00:14:27.940><c> we</c><00:14:28.120><c> had</c><00:14:28.360><c> lived</c><00:14:28.559><c> in</c><00:14:28.740><c> those</c><00:14:29.039><c> days.</c>

00:14:31.259 --> 00:14:36.200
And<00:14:31.419><c> in</c><00:14:31.679><c> that,</c><00:14:33.840><c> we</c><00:14:34.120><c> do</c><00:14:34.360><c> not</c><00:14:34.539><c> inquire</c><00:14:35.000><c> wisely.</c>

00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:39.820
Because<00:14:37.879><c> I</c><00:14:38.039><c> don't</c><00:14:38.259><c> think</c><00:14:38.419><c> the</c><00:14:38.600><c> days</c><00:14:38.840><c> were</c><00:14:39.080><c> ever</c><00:14:39.360><c> like</c>

00:14:39.820 --> 00:14:41.759
we<00:14:40.279><c> think</c><00:14:40.480><c> they</c><00:14:40.799><c> were.</c>

00:14:42.860 --> 00:14:44.240
And<00:14:43.000><c> this</c><00:14:43.100><c> is</c><00:14:43.279><c> interesting.</c>

00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:46.960
They<00:14:45.039><c> never</c><00:14:45.440><c> were</c><00:14:45.700><c> like</c><00:14:46.059><c> that.</c>

00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:48.860
You<00:14:47.100><c> know,</c><00:14:47.100><c> we've</c><00:14:47.240><c> got</c><00:14:47.360><c> a</c><00:14:47.500><c> picture</c><00:14:47.779><c> of</c><00:14:48.019><c> when</c><00:14:48.179><c> the</c><00:14:48.379><c> truth</c><00:14:48.500><c> came</c><00:14:48.740><c> out.</c>

00:14:49.100 --> 00:14:51.120
Everybody,<00:14:49.919><c> everybody,</c><00:14:50.980><c> you</c><00:14:50.980><c> know,</c>

00:14:51.220 --> 00:14:52.820
all<00:14:51.399><c> the</c><00:14:51.559><c> brethren</c><00:14:51.759><c> were</c><00:14:51.940><c> able</c><00:14:52.059><c> to</c><00:14:52.259><c> walk</c><00:14:52.460><c> about</c>

00:14:52.820 --> 00:14:53.840

There'll<00:15:45.840><c> be</c><00:15:45.940><c> false</c><00:15:46.200><c> Christ</c><00:15:46.639><c> and</c><00:15:47.159><c> false</c><00:15:47.460><c> the</c><00:15:47.620><c> prophets</c>

00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:51.059
and<00:15:48.279><c> they'll</c><00:15:48.620><c> rise</c><00:15:48.759><c> up</c><00:15:49.179><c> from</c><00:15:49.700><c> right</c><00:15:50.200><c> among</c><00:15:50.679><c> you.</c>

00:15:51.059 --> 00:15:53.820
Some<00:15:51.299><c> of</c><00:15:51.379><c> these</c><00:15:51.639><c> false</c><00:15:52.360><c> apostles</c><00:15:52.779><c> will</c><00:15:53.039><c> rise</c><00:15:53.340><c> up.</c>

00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:55.600
And<00:15:54.019><c> so</c><00:15:54.120><c> there</c><00:15:54.220><c> were</c><00:15:54.320><c> people</c><00:15:54.580><c> who</c><00:15:54.799><c> claimed</c><00:15:54.879><c> to</c><00:15:55.019><c> be</c><00:15:55.179><c> apostles</c>

00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:57.080
in<00:15:55.960><c> the</c><00:15:56.179><c> days</c><00:15:56.299><c> of</c><00:15:56.480><c> the</c><00:15:56.659><c> apostles.</c>

00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:01.159
Just<00:15:57.639><c> imagine</c><00:15:57.919><c> that</c><00:15:58.080><c> we</c><00:15:58.179><c> had</c><00:15:58.919><c> Peter</c><00:15:59.320><c> and</c><00:15:59.539><c> Paul</c><00:15:59.899><c> on</c><00:16:00.379><c> this</c><00:16:00.600><c> continent</c>

00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:02.580
and<00:16:01.519><c> that</c><00:16:01.620><c> there</c><00:16:01.700><c> was</c><00:16:01.840><c> some</c><00:16:02.159><c> brother</c>

00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:04.799
who<00:16:02.919><c> was</c><00:16:03.139><c> claiming</c><00:16:03.320><c> to</c><00:16:03.519><c> be</c><00:16:03.659><c> an</c><00:16:03.820><c> apostle</c>

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:08.100
whilst<00:16:05.259><c> these</c><00:16:05.659><c> two</c><00:16:05.980><c> apostles</c><00:16:06.240><c> were</c><00:16:06.460><c> here</c><00:16:06.659><c> on</c><00:16:06.799><c> this</c><00:16:06.960><c> continent</c>

00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:10.279
claiming<00:16:08.720><c> to</c><00:16:08.940><c> be,</c><00:16:08.960><c> and</c><00:16:09.120><c> to</c><00:16:09.259><c> be</c><00:16:09.480><c> speaking</c><00:16:09.720><c> with</c><00:16:09.980><c> their...</c>

00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:11.840
That's<00:16:10.580><c> what</c><00:16:10.720><c> was</c><00:16:10.879><c> happening.</c>

00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:13.639
And<00:16:12.419><c> they</c><00:16:12.539><c> were</c><00:16:12.720><c> writing</c><00:16:13.100><c> letters</c>

00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:17.740
which<00:16:13.960><c> they</c><00:16:14.379><c> said</c><00:16:14.840><c> that</c><00:16:15.960><c> the</c><00:16:16.240><c> apostles</c><00:16:16.620><c> had</c><00:16:16.879><c> written.</c>

00:16:19.860 --> 00:16:21.539
Actually,<00:16:20.220><c> you</c><00:16:20.580><c> might</c><00:16:20.759><c> like</c><00:16:20.879><c> to</c><00:16:20.960><c> see</c><00:16:21.080><c> that</c><00:16:21.320><c> verse.</c>

00:16:21.659 --> 00:16:22.539
You<00:16:21.700><c> better</c><00:16:21.879><c> just</c><00:16:22.059><c> have</c><00:16:22.159><c> a</c><00:16:22.200><c> look</c><00:16:22.320><c> at</c><00:16:22.399><c> it</c>

00:16:22.539 --> 00:16:26.000
because<00:16:22.679><c> it's</c><00:16:22.860><c> not</c><00:16:23.000><c> one</c><00:16:23.120><c> that</c><00:16:23.259><c> we</c><00:16:24.299><c> look</c><00:16:24.600><c> at</c><00:16:24.740><c> very</c><00:16:25.039><c> often.</c>

00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:27.679
I<00:16:26.320><c> think</c><00:16:26.460><c> this</c><00:16:26.600><c> is</c><00:16:26.659><c> what</c><00:16:26.779><c> the</c><00:16:26.960><c> verse</c><00:16:27.120><c> means.</c>

00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:30.740
It<00:16:27.879><c> says,</c><00:16:28.100><c> 2</c><00:16:28.299><c> Thessalonians.</c>

00:16:41.899 --> 00:16:45.600
Now<00:16:42.259><c> we</c><00:16:42.519><c> beseech</c><00:16:42.779><c> you,</c><00:16:43.200><c> brethren,</c><00:16:43.360><c> chapter</c><00:16:43.679><c> 2,</c><00:16:44.139><c> verse</c><00:16:44.340><c> 1,</c>

00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.100
Notice<00:16:52.679><c> how</c><00:16:52.899><c> Paul</c><00:16:53.340><c> teaches</c><00:16:53.779><c> basic</c><00:16:54.200><c> doctrines</c>

00:16:55.100 --> 00:16:57.919
whilst<00:16:55.360><c> he's</c><00:16:55.600><c> talking</c><00:16:55.899><c> about</c><00:16:56.159><c> another</c><00:16:56.440><c> subject</c><00:16:56.820><c> altogether.</c>

00:16:58.779 --> 00:17:00.620
He's<00:16:59.259><c> talking</c><00:16:59.519><c> about</c><00:16:59.779><c> falling</c><00:17:00.100><c> away.</c>

00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:02.419
That's<00:17:00.899><c> what</c><00:17:00.960><c> he's</c><00:17:01.059><c> going</c><00:17:01.200><c> to</c><00:17:01.379><c> talk</c><00:17:01.519><c> about.</c>

00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:04.680
But<00:17:02.860><c> on</c><00:17:03.039><c> the</c><00:17:03.120><c> way</c><00:17:03.220><c> to</c><00:17:03.340><c> talking</c><00:17:03.559><c> about</c><00:17:03.820><c> that,</c><00:17:04.039><c> he</c><00:17:04.059><c> says,</c>

00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:06.920
by<00:17:06.019><c> the</c><00:17:06.220><c> Lord</c><00:17:06.359><c> Jesus</c><00:17:06.660><c> Christ</c>

00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:11.259
In<00:17:08.859><c> other</c><00:17:08.980><c> words,</c><00:17:09.079><c> when</c><00:17:09.180><c> he</c><00:17:09.359><c> comes,</c><00:17:09.559><c> we</c><00:17:09.660><c> shall</c><00:17:09.779><c> be</c><00:17:10.000><c> gathered</c><00:17:10.160><c> together.</c>

00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.160
And<00:17:12.039><c> the</c><00:17:12.140><c> idea</c><00:17:12.359><c> that</c><00:17:12.480><c> we</c><00:17:12.660><c> shall</c><00:17:12.940><c> not</c><00:17:13.180><c> be</c><00:17:13.420><c> gathered</c><00:17:13.619><c> together</c>

00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.400
and<00:17:14.500><c> that</c><00:17:14.599><c> we</c><00:17:14.680><c> shall</c><00:17:14.799><c> have</c><00:17:14.940><c> an</c><00:17:15.019><c> opportunity</c><00:17:15.599><c> to</c><00:17:16.319><c> refuse</c><00:17:16.740><c> to</c><00:17:17.039><c> go</c>

00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:19.299

00:17:20.819 --> 00:17:22.079
There<00:17:20.839><c> aren't</c><00:17:21.180><c> some</c><00:17:21.579><c> to</c><00:17:21.740><c> be</c><00:17:21.920><c> taken</c>

00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:24.400
and<00:17:22.240><c> some</c><00:17:22.480><c> to</c><00:17:22.660><c> be</c><00:17:22.859><c> left</c><00:17:23.079><c> in</c><00:17:23.299><c> that</c><00:17:23.559><c> sense</c><00:17:23.799><c> at</c><00:17:24.059><c> all.</c>

00:17:24.660 --> 00:17:26.700
All,<00:17:25.140><c> whether</c><00:17:25.299><c> faithful</c><00:17:25.640><c> or</c><00:17:25.940><c> unfaithful,</c>

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:28.519

00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:30.779

00:17:31.700 --> 00:17:36.759
And<00:17:32.079><c> if</c><00:17:32.160><c> we</c><00:17:32.339><c> don't</c><00:17:32.700><c> want</c><00:17:33.039><c> to</c><00:17:33.279><c> go,</c><00:17:34.660><c> we'll</c><00:17:35.180><c> have</c><00:17:35.420><c> to</c><00:17:35.640><c> go.</c>

00:17:37.059 --> 00:17:39.140
That's<00:17:37.519><c> what</c><00:17:37.599><c> will</c><00:17:37.740><c> happen</c><00:17:37.920><c> in</c><00:17:38.079><c> the</c><00:17:38.220><c> end.</c>

00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.400
So<00:17:40.160><c> this</c><00:17:40.680><c> is</c><00:17:40.859><c> by</c><00:17:41.000><c> our</c><00:17:41.200><c> gathering</c><00:17:41.420><c> together</c><00:17:41.799><c> unto</c><00:17:41.980><c> him.</c>

00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.440
And<00:17:43.019><c> then</c><00:17:43.220><c> he</c><00:17:43.420><c> says</c><00:17:43.799><c> that,</c>

00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.200
ye<00:17:44.880><c> be</c><00:17:45.059><c> not</c><00:17:45.420><c> soon</c><00:17:45.819><c> shaken</c><00:17:46.319><c> in</c><00:17:46.740><c> mind</c>

00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:52.380
Now,<00:17:50.900><c> just</c><00:17:51.099><c> notice</c><00:17:51.359><c> what</c><00:17:51.680><c> it</c><00:17:51.900><c> is.</c>

00:17:52.859 --> 00:17:55.200
Neither<00:17:53.200><c> by</c><00:17:53.680><c> spirit</c>

00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:10.480
Now,<00:18:08.180><c> the</c><00:18:08.359><c> RSV</c><00:18:08.759><c> there,</c><00:18:09.140><c> if</c><00:18:09.400><c> I</c><00:18:09.500><c> remember</c><00:18:09.700><c> right,</c><00:18:09.980><c> it</c><00:18:10.099><c> says,</c>

The<00:18:17.720><c> NIV</c><00:18:18.079><c> says</c><00:18:18.359><c> a</c><00:18:18.640><c> letter</c>

00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.559

Now,<00:18:31.680><c> this</c><00:18:31.819><c> is</c><00:18:31.980><c> scarcely</c><00:18:32.180><c> credible,</c><00:18:32.559><c> is</c><00:18:32.660><c> it?</c>

00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:34.819
Whilst<00:18:33.640><c> the</c><00:18:33.839><c> Apostle's</c><00:18:34.180><c> still</c><00:18:34.420><c> alive,</c>

00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:36.839
this<00:18:35.160><c> is</c><00:18:35.259><c> how</c><00:18:35.400><c> people</c><00:18:35.660><c> are</c><00:18:35.960><c> behaving.</c>

00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:39.079
They<00:18:37.440><c> had</c><00:18:37.700><c> one</c><00:18:37.920><c> advantage.</c>

00:18:39.460 --> 00:18:41.960
Over<00:18:39.480><c> our</c><00:18:39.880><c> age,</c><00:18:41.160><c> communication</c><00:18:41.240><c> was</c><00:18:41.720><c> slower.</c>

00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:44.539
It<00:18:42.119><c> took</c><00:18:42.299><c> a</c><00:18:42.420><c> little</c><00:18:42.619><c> longer</c><00:18:42.880><c> for</c><00:18:43.039><c> things</c><00:18:43.200><c> to</c><00:18:43.420><c> catch</c><00:18:43.660><c> up.</c>

00:18:44.660 --> 00:18:46.519
If<00:18:44.740><c> anything</c><00:18:45.220><c> were</c><00:18:45.519><c> to</c><00:18:45.619><c> go</c><00:18:45.740><c> wrong</c><00:18:45.960><c> in</c><00:18:46.119><c> Virginia,</c>

00:18:46.900 --> 00:18:49.559
then<00:18:47.059><c> you</c><00:18:47.460><c> know</c><00:18:47.720><c> in</c><00:18:47.960><c> Watford</c><00:18:48.220><c> in</c><00:18:48.420><c> no</c><00:18:48.640><c> time.</c>

00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:51.539
In<00:18:50.079><c> our</c><00:18:50.220><c> modern</c><00:18:50.539><c> world.</c>

00:18:52.259 --> 00:18:57.200
So<00:18:52.519><c> their</c><00:18:53.200><c> time</c><00:18:53.579><c> lag</c><00:18:54.299><c> helped</c><00:18:55.740><c> in</c><00:18:56.380><c> some</c><00:18:56.539><c> of</c><00:18:56.740><c> the</c><00:18:56.940><c> evils</c>

00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:58.500
as<00:18:57.400><c> well</c><00:18:57.559><c> as</c><00:18:57.700><c> in</c><00:18:57.779><c> some</c><00:18:57.900><c> of</c><00:18:58.059><c> the</c><00:18:58.180><c> goods.</c>

00:18:58.819 --> 00:19:01.200
It<00:18:59.099><c> slowed</c><00:18:59.279><c> down</c><00:18:59.579><c> the</c><00:18:59.779><c> pace</c><00:19:00.099><c> of</c><00:19:00.420><c> evil,</c>

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.460
but<00:19:02.359><c> it</c><00:19:02.460><c> also</c><00:19:02.740><c> slowed</c><00:19:02.960><c> down</c><00:19:03.200><c> the</c><00:19:03.279><c> pace</c><00:19:03.480><c> of</c><00:19:03.700><c> good.</c>

00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:07.799
Not<00:19:05.640><c> that</c><00:19:05.839><c> communications</c><00:19:06.319><c> were</c><00:19:06.880><c> dragged</c><00:19:07.180><c> in</c><00:19:07.339><c> those</c><00:19:07.619><c> days.</c>

00:19:07.980 --> 00:19:09.539
They<00:19:07.980><c> got</c><00:19:08.259><c> extremely</c><00:19:08.680><c> good</c><00:19:08.940><c> communications,</c>

00:19:09.619 --> 00:19:12.700
but<00:19:09.720><c> nothing</c><00:19:09.980><c> like</c><00:19:10.480><c> the</c><00:19:10.680><c> ones</c><00:19:10.799><c> we</c><00:19:11.019><c> got</c><00:19:11.259><c> in</c><00:19:11.779><c> our</c><00:19:11.960><c> own</c><00:19:12.180><c> age.</c>

00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:16.660
So<00:19:13.519><c> in</c><00:19:14.240><c> the</c><00:19:14.480><c> Apostle's</c><00:19:15.140><c> time</c><00:19:15.440><c> then,</c>

00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:19.700
it<00:19:17.279><c> wasn't</c><00:19:17.700><c> all</c><00:19:18.119><c> rosy.</c>

00:19:20.579 --> 00:19:22.619
As<00:19:20.660><c> you</c><00:19:20.819><c> can</c><00:19:21.160><c> gather</c><00:19:21.319><c> by</c><00:19:21.619><c> all</c><00:19:21.819><c> the</c><00:19:21.920><c> letters</c><00:19:22.099><c> we</c><00:19:22.339><c> are</c><00:19:22.339><c> reading.</c>

00:19:22.819 --> 00:19:24.319
We're<00:19:22.900><c> in</c><00:19:23.079><c> Hebrews</c><00:19:23.339><c> now,</c>

00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:26.880
and<00:19:24.579><c> so</c><00:19:25.180><c> that</c><00:19:25.559><c> whole</c><00:19:25.799><c> letter</c><00:19:26.019><c> is</c><00:19:26.200><c> written</c>

00:19:26.700 --> 00:19:28.839
because,<00:19:26.980><c> well,</c><00:19:27.299><c> there</c><00:19:27.460><c> were</c><00:19:27.599><c> people</c><00:19:28.019><c> who</c><00:19:28.400><c> thought</c>

00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:34.160

in<00:19:35.279><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:19:37.579 --> 00:19:41.539
And<00:19:37.880><c> Paul,</c><00:19:38.220><c> in</c><00:19:38.259><c> his</c><00:19:38.539><c> marvelous</c><00:19:39.640><c> exposition</c><00:19:40.440><c> for</c><00:19:40.720><c> us,</c>

00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:43.500
helped<00:19:41.920><c> us</c><00:19:42.119><c> to</c><00:19:42.299><c> untangle</c><00:19:42.700><c> all</c><00:19:43.019><c> that</c>

00:19:43.500 --> 00:19:45.380
as<00:19:43.779><c> we</c><00:19:43.940><c> go</c><00:19:44.119><c> through</c><00:19:44.319><c> that</c><00:19:44.539><c> letter.</c>

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.079
Now<00:19:48.339><c> just</c><00:19:48.500><c> listen</c><00:19:48.720><c> to</c><00:19:48.940><c> this.</c>

00:19:51.660 --> 00:19:55.299

All<00:20:08.059><c> right,</c><00:20:08.240><c> this</c><00:20:08.339><c> is</c><00:20:08.420><c> what</c><00:20:08.500><c> he</c><00:20:08.680><c> said.</c>

00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:10.400
This<00:20:09.200><c> is</c><00:20:09.279><c> what</c><00:20:09.400><c> Brother</c><00:20:09.619><c> Thomas</c><00:20:09.900><c> said.</c>

00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:13.460
I<00:20:11.119><c> entirely</c><00:20:12.039><c> agree</c><00:20:12.640><c> with</c><00:20:12.980><c> you</c>

00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:25.359
Now<00:20:21.779><c> we</c><00:20:21.839><c> all</c><00:20:22.220><c> thought</c><00:20:22.579><c> that</c><00:20:23.119><c> it</c><00:20:23.279><c> was</c><00:20:23.480><c> rosy</c><00:20:23.900><c> and</c><00:20:24.180><c> so</c><00:20:24.339><c> on,</c><00:20:24.440><c> didn't</c><00:20:24.619><c> we?</c>

00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:32.980
This<00:20:28.119><c> is</c><00:20:28.460><c> 1866,</c><00:20:30.259><c> right?</c>

00:20:33.900 --> 00:20:35.420
And<00:20:34.000><c> Brother</c><00:20:34.220><c> Roberts</c><00:20:34.460><c> had</c><00:20:34.640><c> obviously</c><00:20:34.839><c> been</c><00:20:35.039><c> writing</c><00:20:35.299><c> to</c>

I<00:22:22.559><c> believe</c><00:22:22.819><c> you</c><00:22:23.000><c> do</c><00:22:23.180><c> not.</c>

00:22:24.779 --> 00:22:27.400
It<00:22:24.819><c> would</c><00:22:25.000><c> be</c><00:22:25.099><c> very</c><00:22:25.440><c> pleasant,</c><00:22:26.039><c> says</c><00:22:26.140><c> Brother</c><00:22:26.420><c> Thomas,</c>

00:22:46.819 --> 00:22:49.680
there<00:22:46.980><c> would</c><00:22:47.119><c> be</c><00:22:47.279><c> a</c><00:22:47.380><c> very</c><00:22:47.740><c> different</c><00:22:48.079><c> state</c><00:22:48.339><c> of</c><00:22:48.619><c> things</c>

00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:53.720
to<00:22:50.220><c> what</c><00:22:50.380><c> is</c><00:22:50.539><c> obtained</c><00:22:50.940><c> in</c><00:22:51.380><c> any</c><00:22:51.819><c> age</c><00:22:52.380><c> or</c><00:22:52.980><c> generation,</c>

00:23:04.539 --> 00:23:07.740
Now,<00:23:04.759><c> I</c><00:23:05.420><c> find</c><00:23:05.920><c> that</c><00:23:06.660><c> letter</c><00:23:06.920><c> from</c><00:23:07.140><c> Brother</c><00:23:07.380><c> Thomas</c>

00:23:07.740 --> 00:23:10.720
a<00:23:08.380><c> most</c><00:23:08.900><c> revealing</c><00:23:09.619><c> letter.</c>

00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:11.759
Eh?

00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:16.759
In<00:23:12.400><c> other</c><00:23:12.579><c> words,</c><00:23:12.980><c> he</c><00:23:13.099><c> wasn't</c><00:23:14.339><c> dismayed</c><00:23:15.220><c> by</c><00:23:15.440><c> what</c><00:23:15.619><c> he</c><00:23:15.819><c> saw.</c>

00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:18.740
He<00:23:16.980><c> just</c><00:23:17.119><c> said,</c><00:23:17.339><c> well,</c><00:23:17.519><c> it</c><00:23:17.619><c> has</c><00:23:17.859><c> always</c><00:23:18.259><c> been</c><00:23:18.559><c> like.</c>

00:23:18.779 --> 00:23:21.980
This<00:23:18.920><c> is</c><00:23:19.180><c> human</c><00:23:19.380><c> nature</c><00:23:19.759><c> and</c><00:23:20.099><c> how</c><00:23:20.259><c> it</c><00:23:20.359><c> works</c><00:23:20.599><c> itself</c><00:23:20.980><c> out.</c>

00:23:22.019 --> 00:23:26.579
So<00:23:22.019><c> we,</c><00:23:23.200><c> much</c><00:23:23.359><c> as</c><00:23:23.559><c> we</c><00:23:23.660><c> might</c><00:23:23.819><c> feel,</c><00:23:24.980><c> as</c><00:23:25.119><c> Brother</c><00:23:25.380><c> Roberts</c><00:23:25.640><c> felt,</c>

00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:29.359
somewhat<00:23:28.140><c> discouraged</c><00:23:28.559><c> by</c><00:23:28.859><c> it,</c>

Brother<00:23:30.000><c> Thomas</c><00:23:30.240><c> writes</c><00:23:30.480><c> back</c><00:23:30.799><c> and</c><00:23:31.000><c> says,</c>

00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:32.920
but<00:23:31.240><c> it's</c><00:23:31.400><c> always</c><00:23:31.599><c> been</c><00:23:31.799><c> the</c><00:23:31.980><c> same,</c><00:23:32.220><c> Brother</c><00:23:32.440><c> Roberts,</c><00:23:32.759><c> you</c>

00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:34.119
know<00:23:33.180><c> that.</c>

00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:37.400
And<00:23:34.960><c> you</c><00:23:35.000><c> wouldn't</c><00:23:35.220><c> really</c><00:23:35.640><c> expect</c><00:23:36.000><c> it</c><00:23:36.119><c> to</c><00:23:36.200><c> be</c><00:23:36.400><c> perfect</c><00:23:36.700><c> today,</c><00:23:37.099><c> would</c><00:23:37.200><c> you?</c>

00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:39.400
Knowing<00:23:37.700><c> your</c><00:23:37.980><c> Bible</c><00:23:38.220><c> as</c><00:23:38.420><c> you</c><00:23:38.579><c> know</c><00:23:38.720><c> it,</c><00:23:38.900><c> Brother</c><00:23:39.099><c> Roberts,</c>

00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:41.680
you<00:23:39.700><c> wouldn't</c><00:23:39.920><c> expect</c><00:23:40.240><c> it</c><00:23:40.339><c> to</c><00:23:40.420><c> be</c><00:23:40.599><c> perfect,</c><00:23:40.900><c> would</c><00:23:41.099><c> you?</c>

00:23:42.140 --> 00:23:44.319
And<00:23:42.259><c> he</c><00:23:42.299><c> would</c><00:23:42.500><c> say,</c><00:23:42.839><c> no,</c><00:23:42.980><c> I</c><00:23:43.099><c> would</c><00:23:43.339><c> not.</c>

00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:45.400
He<00:23:44.480><c> said,</c><00:23:44.680><c> well,</c><00:23:44.839><c> take</c><00:23:45.039><c> heart.</c>

00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:47.079
And<00:23:45.759><c> remember,</c><00:23:46.099><c> he</c><00:23:46.240><c> said,</c>

00:23:47.180 --> 00:23:50.619
it<00:23:47.259><c> is</c><00:23:47.420><c> far</c><00:23:47.680><c> worse</c><00:23:47.859><c> outside</c><00:23:48.279><c> the</c><00:23:48.500><c> community</c><00:23:49.039><c> than</c><00:23:49.480><c> inside.</c>

00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:52.880
And<00:23:51.740><c> that's</c><00:23:52.000><c> true.</c>

00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:58.900
So<00:23:54.240><c> although</c><00:23:54.799><c> we</c><00:23:55.119><c> are</c><00:23:55.299><c> critical</c><00:23:55.839><c> of</c><00:23:56.440><c> our</c><00:23:56.640><c> community</c><00:23:57.059><c> and</c><00:23:57.779><c> of</c><00:23:58.000><c> ourselves,</c>

00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.180
let's<00:23:59.559><c> remember</c><00:24:00.279><c> that</c><00:24:01.140><c> heresies</c><00:24:01.920><c> must</c><00:24:02.200><c> arise,</c><00:24:02.839><c> troubles</c>

00:24:03.180 --> 00:24:03.859
must<00:24:03.559><c> arise.</c>

00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.200
They<00:24:04.200><c> always</c><00:24:04.599><c> have</c><00:24:04.940><c> arisen</c><00:24:05.420><c> because</c><00:24:05.980><c> God</c><00:24:06.299><c> has</c><00:24:06.619><c> called</c><00:24:06.839><c> people</c>

00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:07.720
like<00:24:07.519><c> you</c>

00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:09.019

00:24:09.180 --> 00:24:11.339
And<00:24:09.400><c> we</c><00:24:09.680><c> were</c><00:24:10.119><c> sinful</c><00:24:10.519><c> people.</c>

00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.180
And<00:24:12.000><c> therefore,</c><00:24:12.339><c> from</c><00:24:12.460><c> time</c><00:24:12.680><c> to</c><00:24:12.880><c> time,</c><00:24:13.519><c> sins</c><00:24:13.819><c> will</c><00:24:14.180><c> re</c><00:24:14.400><c>-emerge.</c>

00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:17.460
Well,<00:24:15.619><c> you</c><00:24:15.680><c> know</c><00:24:15.779><c> what</c><00:24:15.839><c> it's</c><00:24:16.039><c> like</c><00:24:16.180><c> in</c><00:24:16.279><c> your</c><00:24:16.480><c> own</c><00:24:16.680><c> life.</c>

00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:19.279
You<00:24:18.039><c> know</c><00:24:18.299><c> that.</c>

00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:22.880
As<00:24:20.839><c> on</c><00:24:20.940><c> Monday</c><00:24:21.200><c> morning,</c><00:24:21.640><c> after</c><00:24:21.839><c> the</c><00:24:21.980><c> breaking</c><00:24:22.160><c> of</c><00:24:22.299><c> bread</c><00:24:22.380><c> on</c><00:24:22.640><c> Sunday,</c>

00:24:22.980 --> 00:24:25.980
on<00:24:23.180><c> Monday,</c><00:24:24.039><c> you</c><00:24:24.200><c> are</c><00:24:24.319><c> kicking</c><00:24:24.559><c> yourself</c><00:24:25.059><c> for</c><00:24:25.240><c> having</c><00:24:25.480><c> slipped</c><00:24:25.740><c> back</c>

00:24:25.980 --> 00:24:28.519
into<00:24:26.160><c> something</c><00:24:26.440><c> that</c><00:24:26.619><c> you</c><00:24:26.759><c> thought</c><00:24:26.900><c> you'd</c><00:24:27.180><c> overcome</c><00:24:27.440><c> on</c><00:24:27.720><c> Sunday.</c>

00:24:28.819 --> 00:24:30.680
And<00:24:29.079><c> we</c><00:24:29.220><c> all</c><00:24:29.400><c> do</c><00:24:29.619><c> that.</c>

00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.279
And<00:24:30.839><c> so</c><00:24:30.920><c> it</c><00:24:31.000><c> must</c><00:24:31.200><c> happen</c><00:24:31.420><c> within</c><00:24:31.660><c> the</c><00:24:31.880><c> community</c><00:24:32.180><c> as</c><00:24:32.480><c> well.</c>

00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:36.799
But<00:24:34.039><c> that</c><00:24:34.240><c> doesn't</c><00:24:34.500><c> mean</c><00:24:34.900><c> then</c><00:24:35.259><c> that</c><00:24:35.720><c> what</c><00:24:36.200><c> we've</c><00:24:36.400><c> got</c><00:24:36.519><c> to</c><00:24:36.660><c> do</c>

00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:39.299

00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:40.900
The<00:24:39.779><c> former</c><00:24:39.940><c> days</c><00:24:40.119><c> weren't</c><00:24:40.319><c> better</c><00:24:40.539><c> than</c><00:24:40.720><c> these,</c>

00:24:40.980 --> 00:24:42.019

00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:44.740
so<00:24:42.319><c> let's</c><00:24:42.680><c> just</c><00:24:42.900><c> carry</c><00:24:43.079><c> on</c><00:24:43.259><c> in</c><00:24:43.380><c> the</c><00:24:43.519><c> same</c><00:24:43.680><c> old</c><00:24:43.920><c> way.</c>

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:46.019
That's<00:24:45.420><c> not</c><00:24:45.619><c> the</c><00:24:45.779><c> way.</c>

00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:47.960
What<00:24:46.619><c> we</c><00:24:46.779><c> have</c><00:24:47.039><c> got</c><00:24:47.259><c> to</c><00:24:47.460><c> do,</c><00:24:47.720><c> brethren,</c>

00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:50.000

00:24:50.900 --> 00:24:54.680
That<00:24:51.180><c> is,</c><00:24:51.599><c> they</c><00:24:51.900><c> tried</c><00:24:52.259><c> to</c><00:24:52.539><c> work</c><00:24:52.680><c> the</c><00:24:53.000><c> truth</c><00:24:53.220><c> out</c><00:24:53.500><c> in</c><00:24:53.839><c> their</c><00:24:54.220><c> age</c>

00:25:00.700 --> 00:25:02.559
And<00:25:00.980><c> so</c><00:25:01.119><c> we</c><00:25:01.279><c> have</c><00:25:01.400><c> got</c><00:25:01.519><c> to</c><00:25:01.640><c> do</c><00:25:01.720><c> it</c><00:25:01.859><c> in</c><00:25:02.000><c> our</c><00:25:02.200><c> age.</c>

00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:04.980
We've<00:25:02.960><c> got</c><00:25:03.039><c> to</c><00:25:03.279><c> work</c><00:25:03.440><c> out</c><00:25:03.619><c> the</c><00:25:03.880><c> truth</c><00:25:04.059><c> in</c><00:25:04.319><c> our</c><00:25:04.559><c> age.</c>

00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:07.180
Now,<00:25:06.180><c> one</c><00:25:06.440><c> way</c><00:25:06.640><c> to</c><00:25:06.799><c> do</c><00:25:06.960><c> this,</c>

One<00:25:41.579><c> thing</c><00:25:41.759><c> he</c><00:25:41.779><c> would</c><00:25:41.940><c> have</c><00:25:42.099><c> done,</c>

00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:53.380
This<00:25:50.779><c> is</c><00:25:50.920><c> the</c><00:25:51.000><c> great</c><00:25:51.140><c> difference</c><00:25:51.359><c> with</c><00:25:51.579><c> Paul</c><00:25:51.940><c> and</c><00:25:52.119><c> other</c><00:25:52.319><c> people.</c>

00:26:05.140 --> 00:26:07.059
He<00:26:05.339><c> said,</c><00:26:05.500><c> I</c><00:26:05.559><c> want</c><00:26:05.779><c> you.</c>

whereunto<00:26:40.460><c> I</c><00:26:40.660><c> am</c><00:26:40.759><c> appointed</c><00:26:41.079><c> a</c><00:26:41.380><c> preacher</c>

00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:50.319
Nevertheless,<00:26:48.920><c> now</c><00:26:49.240><c> listen,</c>

00:26:50.380 --> 00:26:52.480
I<00:26:50.720><c> am</c><00:26:50.900><c> not</c><00:26:51.099><c> ashamed,</c>

00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:55.859

and<00:26:56.839><c> I</c><00:26:57.000><c> am</c><00:26:57.160><c> persuaded</c><00:26:57.680><c> that</c><00:26:57.839><c> he</c><00:26:58.000><c> is</c><00:26:58.180><c> able</c><00:26:58.380><c> to</c><00:26:58.680><c> keep</c>

00:27:04.380 --> 00:27:05.900
Paul<00:27:04.859><c> here</c><00:27:05.339><c> doesn't</c><00:27:05.579><c> say,</c>

00:27:06.259 --> 00:27:08.440
I<00:27:06.279><c> know</c><00:27:06.700><c> what</c><00:27:07.019><c> I</c><00:27:07.240><c> have</c><00:27:07.480><c> believed.</c>

00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:10.819
We<00:27:09.299><c> all</c><00:27:09.440><c> know</c><00:27:09.640><c> that.</c>

00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:13.220
What<00:27:11.400><c> he</c><00:27:11.519><c> says</c><00:27:11.680><c> is,</c><00:27:11.839><c> I</c><00:27:11.880><c> know</c><00:27:12.119><c> whom</c><00:27:12.400><c> I</c><00:27:12.599><c> have</c><00:27:12.880><c> believed.</c>

00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:14.799
I<00:27:13.720><c> know</c><00:27:13.880><c> him.</c>

00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:17.500
He<00:27:15.559><c> hasn't</c><00:27:15.779><c> got</c><00:27:15.940><c> a</c><00:27:16.180><c> what</c><00:27:16.380><c> that</c><00:27:16.559><c> he</c><00:27:16.779><c> believes</c><00:27:17.019><c> in.</c>

00:27:17.700 --> 00:27:19.119
He's<00:27:17.960><c> got</c><00:27:18.079><c> a</c><00:27:18.240><c> who.</c>

00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:23.500
That's<00:27:21.480><c> the</c><00:27:21.579><c> difference</c><00:27:21.839><c> with</c><00:27:22.059><c> Paul's</c><00:27:22.559><c> life.</c>

00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:26.799
We<00:27:24.099><c> can</c><00:27:24.220><c> all</c><00:27:24.440><c> just</c><00:27:25.240><c> reel</c><00:27:25.400><c> off</c><00:27:25.640><c> all</c><00:27:25.799><c> the</c><00:27:26.000><c> basic</c><00:27:26.319><c> doctrines,</c>

00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:29.180
can't<00:27:27.160><c> we,</c><00:27:27.359><c> and</c><00:27:27.400><c> say,</c><00:27:27.559><c> well,</c><00:27:27.579><c> that's</c><00:27:27.759><c> what</c><00:27:27.920><c> I</c><00:27:28.119><c> believe.</c>

00:27:30.460 --> 00:27:32.519
And<00:27:30.599><c> then</c><00:27:30.960><c> somebody</c><00:27:31.160><c> looks</c><00:27:31.400><c> at</c><00:27:31.519><c> it</c><00:27:31.660><c> and</c><00:27:31.759><c> says,</c>

00:27:33.460 --> 00:27:37.599
yeah,<00:27:33.759><c> but</c><00:27:34.119><c> those</c><00:27:35.480><c> are</c><00:27:35.660><c> just</c><00:27:36.259><c> things</c><00:27:36.700><c> that</c><00:27:36.900><c> you</c><00:27:37.180><c> believe.</c>

00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:39.519
What's<00:27:38.240><c> it</c><00:27:38.480><c> like?</c>

00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:42.140
Paul<00:27:40.319><c> would</c><00:27:40.519><c> say,</c><00:27:40.640><c> well,</c><00:27:40.759><c> it's</c><00:27:40.920><c> like</c><00:27:41.140><c> this.</c>

00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:43.900
It's<00:27:42.799><c> like</c><00:27:42.980><c> him.</c>

00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:46.500
He's<00:27:44.299><c> the</c><00:27:44.579><c> embodiment</c><00:27:44.980><c> of</c><00:27:45.180><c> all</c><00:27:45.359><c> I</c><00:27:45.619><c> believe.</c>

00:27:46.819 --> 00:27:48.759
This<00:27:47.160><c> is</c><00:27:47.380><c> our</c><00:27:47.640><c> basic</c><00:27:47.980><c> faith,</c><00:27:48.240><c> isn't</c><00:27:48.440><c> it?</c>

00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.619
He<00:27:49.119><c> was</c><00:27:49.259><c> of</c><00:27:49.400><c> our</c><00:27:49.619><c> nature,</c><00:27:50.180><c> and</c><00:27:50.339><c> now</c><00:27:50.500><c> he's</c><00:27:50.619><c> of</c><00:27:50.759><c> the</c><00:27:50.900><c> new</c><00:27:51.099><c> nature,</c>

00:27:53.819 --> 00:27:56.019
abolished<00:27:54.180><c> death,</c><00:27:54.720><c> brought</c><00:27:54.880><c> light</c><00:27:55.259><c> and</c><00:27:55.460><c> immortality</c>

00:27:56.019 --> 00:27:57.579

00:27:57.859 --> 00:27:58.880
I<00:27:57.900><c> know</c><00:27:57.900><c> whom</c><00:27:58.119><c> I</c><00:27:58.240><c> have</c><00:27:58.420><c> believed.</c>

00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:01.119
And<00:27:59.440><c> Paul</c><00:27:59.559><c> says,</c><00:27:59.799><c> I</c><00:27:59.819><c> have</c><00:28:00.039><c> committed</c><00:28:00.279><c> unto</c><00:28:00.519><c> him</c>

00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:04.240
something<00:28:01.599><c> that</c><00:28:01.700><c> he's</c><00:28:01.880><c> going</c><00:28:02.000><c> to</c><00:28:02.240><c> keep</c><00:28:02.500><c> until</c><00:28:02.859><c> he</c><00:28:03.000><c> comes</c><00:28:03.240><c> again.</c>

00:28:04.579 --> 00:28:06.640
Now,<00:28:04.900><c> that's</c><00:28:05.119><c> what</c><00:28:05.200><c> we've</c><00:28:05.440><c> got</c><00:28:05.559><c> to</c><00:28:05.720><c> do</c><00:28:05.819><c> in</c><00:28:06.000><c> our</c><00:28:06.160><c> daily</c><00:28:06.359><c> lives,</c>

00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:09.859
Not<00:28:08.339><c> just</c><00:28:08.519><c> at</c><00:28:08.660><c> our</c><00:28:08.880><c> baptism.</c>

00:28:09.940 --> 00:28:11.819
That's<00:28:10.319><c> true,</c><00:28:10.579><c> we</c><00:28:10.960><c> do</c><00:28:11.099><c> it</c><00:28:11.240><c> at</c><00:28:11.420><c> baptism.</c>

00:28:18.660 --> 00:28:19.579
That's<00:28:18.900><c> what</c><00:28:18.980><c> we've</c><00:28:19.220><c> got</c><00:28:19.359><c> to</c><00:28:19.500><c> do.</c>

So<00:28:23.140><c> the</c><00:28:23.299><c> sister</c><00:28:23.559><c> who's</c><00:28:23.900><c> expecting</c><00:28:24.220><c> a</c><00:28:24.559><c> baby</c>

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.480
of<00:28:46.099><c> what</c><00:28:46.400><c> it</c><00:28:46.579><c> is</c><00:28:46.720><c> to</c><00:28:46.920><c> belong</c><00:28:47.140><c> to</c><00:28:47.380><c> Christ.</c>

00:28:50.140 --> 00:28:51.819
For<00:28:50.519><c> those</c><00:28:50.740><c> of</c><00:28:50.799><c> us</c><00:28:50.920><c> who've</c><00:28:51.279><c> got</c><00:28:51.420><c> a</c><00:28:51.660><c> job,</c>

00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:54.700
then<00:28:52.000><c> we've</c><00:28:52.119><c> got</c><00:28:52.160><c> to</c><00:28:52.279><c> be</c><00:28:52.440><c> thankful</c><00:28:52.680><c> about</c><00:28:52.900><c> having</c><00:28:53.160><c> work.</c>

00:28:55.259 --> 00:28:55.740
Have<00:28:55.339><c> we</c><00:28:55.519><c> not?</c>

00:28:55.799 --> 00:28:57.720
Because<00:28:56.000><c> some</c><00:28:56.240><c> of</c><00:28:56.339><c> our</c><00:28:56.460><c> brethren</c><00:28:56.640><c> have</c><00:28:56.819><c> lost</c><00:28:57.039><c> it.</c>

00:28:58.460 --> 00:29:00.259
Their<00:28:58.759><c> jobs</c><00:28:59.019><c> have</c><00:28:59.259><c> gone.</c>

00:29:00.660 --> 00:29:02.240
I<00:29:00.660><c> have</c><00:29:00.799><c> two</c><00:29:00.980><c> in</c><00:29:01.140><c> our</c><00:29:01.319><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:29:02.619 --> 00:29:03.480
Job's<00:29:03.000><c> just</c><00:29:03.220><c> gone.</c>

00:29:03.660 --> 00:29:05.319
I<00:29:03.759><c> had</c><00:29:03.819><c> a</c><00:29:03.920><c> job</c><00:29:04.180><c> yesterday.</c>

00:29:06.180 --> 00:29:07.920
At<00:29:06.359><c> the</c><00:29:06.420><c> end</c><00:29:06.519><c> of</c><00:29:06.660><c> the</c><00:29:06.720><c> day,</c><00:29:07.099><c> the</c><00:29:07.119><c> boss</c><00:29:07.319><c> comes</c><00:29:07.519><c> in</c><00:29:07.720><c> and</c><00:29:07.799><c> says,</c>

00:29:08.059 --> 00:29:09.839
sorry,<00:29:08.380><c> but</c><00:29:08.559><c> that's</c><00:29:09.579><c> it.</c>

00:29:09.859 --> 00:29:11.859
I've<00:29:10.140><c> got</c><00:29:10.259><c> no</c><00:29:10.460><c> more</c><00:29:10.640><c> work</c><00:29:10.799><c> for</c><00:29:11.000><c> you.</c>

00:29:12.220 --> 00:29:14.819
Now,<00:29:12.859><c> we've</c><00:29:13.099><c> got</c><00:29:13.180><c> to</c><00:29:13.380><c> learn</c><00:29:13.700><c> how</c><00:29:13.880><c> to</c><00:29:14.160><c> cope</c><00:29:14.339><c> with</c><00:29:14.559><c> this.</c>

00:29:15.180 --> 00:29:16.319
And<00:29:15.180><c> the</c><00:29:15.559><c> two</c><00:29:15.720><c> brethren</c><00:29:15.900><c> we've</c><00:29:16.200><c> got</c>

00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:17.519
and<00:29:16.480><c> their</c><00:29:16.700><c> younger</c><00:29:17.019><c> brethren,</c>

00:29:17.859 --> 00:29:20.000
they're<00:29:18.380><c> coping</c><00:29:18.700><c> with</c><00:29:19.319><c> that</c><00:29:19.519><c> situation.</c>

00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:21.420
But<00:29:20.119><c> it's</c><00:29:20.279><c> not</c><00:29:20.420><c> easy.</c>

00:29:21.460 --> 00:29:22.319
Neither<00:29:21.700><c> of</c><00:29:21.799><c> them</c><00:29:21.819><c> is</c><00:29:22.000><c> married.</c>

00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:25.920
But<00:29:22.519><c> if</c><00:29:22.619><c> you're</c><00:29:22.779><c> married,</c><00:29:23.279><c> then</c><00:29:23.460><c> you</c><00:29:23.819><c> do</c><00:29:24.019><c> have</c><00:29:24.619><c> more</c><00:29:24.859><c> of</c><00:29:25.000><c> a</c><00:29:25.099><c> problem.</c>

00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:28.619
But<00:29:26.099><c> if</c><00:29:26.240><c> all</c><00:29:26.480><c> that</c><00:29:26.619><c> you</c><00:29:26.859><c> have</c><00:29:27.019><c> has</c><00:29:27.180><c> been</c><00:29:27.319><c> committed</c><00:29:27.519><c> to</c><00:29:27.740><c> Christ,</c>

00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:31.880
then<00:29:29.519><c> what's</c><00:29:29.960><c> happened</c><00:29:30.059><c> to</c><00:29:30.200><c> you</c><00:29:30.319><c> has</c><00:29:30.480><c> happened</c><00:29:30.640><c> to</c><00:29:30.740><c> him.</c>

00:29:32.579 --> 00:29:34.140
And<00:29:32.859><c> he</c><00:29:32.880><c> knows</c><00:29:33.119><c> about</c><00:29:33.359><c> it</c><00:29:33.539><c> and</c><00:29:33.599><c> will</c><00:29:33.839><c> care</c>

00:29:34.140 --> 00:29:36.539
and<00:29:34.460><c> prepare</c><00:29:34.900><c> you</c><00:29:35.779><c> for</c><00:29:36.000><c> it</c>

00:29:36.539 --> 00:29:38.700
and<00:29:36.839><c> bring</c><00:29:36.980><c> you</c><00:29:37.180><c> through</c><00:29:37.400><c> it.</c>

00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:42.279
So<00:29:39.799><c> this</c><00:29:40.240><c> matter</c><00:29:40.579><c> of</c><00:29:40.839><c> I</c><00:29:40.980><c> know</c><00:29:41.220><c> whom</c><00:29:41.440><c> I</c><00:29:41.660><c> have</c><00:29:41.859><c> believed.</c>

00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:43.660
This<00:29:42.779><c> is</c><00:29:42.940><c> the</c><00:29:43.099><c> difference,</c><00:29:43.359><c> isn't</c><00:29:43.539><c> it,</c>

00:29:43.660 --> 00:29:45.420
between<00:29:44.200><c> Habakkuk</c><00:29:44.660><c> and</c><00:29:45.000><c> Hebrews.</c>

00:29:45.539 --> 00:29:48.160
We<00:29:45.579><c> shall</c><00:29:45.720><c> be</c><00:29:45.859><c> coming</c><00:29:45.940><c> across</c><00:29:46.220><c> it</c><00:29:46.400><c> in</c><00:29:46.420><c> Hebrews</c><00:29:46.700><c> chapter</c><00:29:47.000><c> 10.</c>

00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:50.980
The<00:29:49.359><c> word</c><00:29:49.680><c> in</c><00:29:50.000><c> Habakkuk</c><00:29:50.440><c> is</c>

00:29:50.980 --> 00:29:51.940
that,<00:29:51.500><c> you</c><00:29:51.700><c> know,</c>

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:53.900
it<00:29:52.339><c> shall</c><00:29:52.539><c> come,</c><00:29:52.980><c> it</c><00:29:53.019><c> shall</c><00:29:53.240><c> not</c><00:29:53.599><c> tarry,</c>

00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:55.940
but<00:29:54.039><c> in</c><00:29:54.200><c> the</c><00:29:54.339><c> end</c><00:29:54.460><c> it</c><00:29:54.579><c> shall</c><00:29:54.779><c> speak.</c>

00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:57.900
When<00:29:57.240><c> you</c><00:29:57.299><c> come</c><00:29:57.460><c> to</c><00:29:57.599><c> Hebrews,</c>

00:29:57.920 --> 00:29:58.859
it<00:29:58.000><c> doesn't</c><00:29:58.200><c> say</c><00:29:58.480><c> that.</c>

00:29:59.180 --> 00:30:02.140
It<00:29:59.319><c> quotes</c><00:29:59.740><c> Habakkuk,</c><00:30:00.299><c> but</c><00:30:00.420><c> it</c><00:30:00.519><c> doesn't</c><00:30:00.660><c> say</c><00:30:00.920><c> that.</c>

00:30:02.859 --> 00:30:04.619
It<00:30:02.960><c> says</c><00:30:03.079><c> in</c><00:30:03.220><c> the</c><00:30:03.420><c> end,</c>

00:30:05.420 --> 00:30:06.400
he<00:30:05.640><c> shall</c><00:30:05.880><c> come.</c>

00:30:06.900 --> 00:30:08.240
Not<00:30:07.099><c> on</c><00:30:07.259><c> it.</c>

00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:10.160
It<00:30:09.019><c> is</c><00:30:09.200><c> he.</c>

00:30:10.700 --> 00:30:11.779
What's<00:30:11.059><c> happened</c><00:30:11.220><c> to</c><00:30:11.500><c> Paul</c>

00:30:11.779 --> 00:30:15.000
is<00:30:12.140><c> now</c><00:30:12.319><c> happening</c><00:30:12.599><c> all</c><00:30:12.900><c> through</c><00:30:13.059><c> the</c><00:30:13.099><c> New</c><00:30:13.240><c> Testament,</c><00:30:13.680><c> isn't</c><00:30:13.880><c> it?</c>

00:30:15.019 --> 00:30:16.559
All<00:30:15.359><c> concerned</c><00:30:15.880><c> with</c><00:30:16.119><c> he.</c>

00:30:16.980 --> 00:30:18.859
It's<00:30:17.140><c> Christ</c><00:30:17.440><c> who</c><00:30:17.599><c> walks</c><00:30:17.880><c> among</c><00:30:18.099><c> the</c><00:30:18.359><c> candlesticks,</c>

00:30:18.900 --> 00:30:20.000
is<00:30:19.000><c> it</c><00:30:19.180><c> not?</c>

00:30:21.579 --> 00:30:22.299
He's<00:30:21.880><c> active</c>

00:30:22.299 --> 00:30:23.859
amongst<00:30:22.660><c> us</c><00:30:22.920><c> all</c><00:30:23.200><c> the</c><00:30:23.380><c> time.</c>

00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:25.799
And<00:30:24.460><c> we</c><00:30:24.519><c> shall</c><00:30:24.640><c> discuss</c><00:30:24.920><c> those</c><00:30:25.299><c> perhaps</c>

00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:28.319
as<00:30:26.000><c> we</c><00:30:26.359><c> go</c><00:30:26.579><c> through</c><00:30:26.720><c> the</c><00:30:26.859><c> morning</c><00:30:27.119><c> together.</c>

00:30:29.380 --> 00:30:30.099
First<00:30:29.599><c> of</c><00:30:29.779><c> all,</c>

00:30:30.299 --> 00:30:31.940
I<00:30:30.339><c> think,</c><00:30:31.099><c> well,</c><00:30:31.240><c> you</c><00:30:31.339><c> know,</c>

00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:34.319
in<00:30:32.500><c> witnessing</c><00:30:32.819><c> to</c><00:30:33.059><c> other</c><00:30:33.259><c> people,</c>

00:30:34.740 --> 00:30:36.619
how<00:30:35.000><c> do</c><00:30:35.200><c> we</c><00:30:35.500><c> witness</c><00:30:35.839><c> to</c><00:30:36.039><c> other</c><00:30:36.259><c> people?</c>

00:30:36.740 --> 00:30:39.200
What<00:30:36.980><c> was</c><00:30:37.220><c> it</c><00:30:37.359><c> that</c><00:30:37.559><c> made</c><00:30:37.799><c> our</c><00:30:38.180><c> first</c><00:30:38.480><c> brethren</c>

00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:40.660
absolutely<00:30:40.079><c> certain</c>

00:30:40.660 --> 00:30:42.460
that<00:30:41.140><c> they</c><00:30:41.279><c> were</c><00:30:41.460><c> on</c><00:30:41.559><c> the</c><00:30:41.819><c> right</c><00:30:42.099><c> track</c>

00:30:42.460 --> 00:30:44.099

00:30:44.140 --> 00:30:45.779
What<00:30:44.259><c> was</c><00:30:44.460><c> it</c><00:30:44.559><c> that</c><00:30:44.640><c> they</c><00:30:44.920><c> had?</c>

00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:48.339
Oh,<00:30:47.680><c> you</c><00:30:47.740><c> remember</c><00:30:47.920><c> Brother</c><00:30:48.119><c> Thomas</c>

00:33:59.059 --> 00:34:01.660
when<00:33:59.559><c> her</c><00:33:59.720><c> husband</c><00:33:59.960><c> was</c><00:34:00.220><c> there.</c>

00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:07.319
because

00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:09.559
Noel,<00:34:08.219><c> her</c><00:34:08.480><c> husband,</c><00:34:09.179><c> will</c><00:34:09.340><c> know</c>

00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:11.480
where<00:34:09.800><c> to</c><00:34:10.119><c> find</c><00:34:10.360><c> me</c><00:34:11.039><c> when</c><00:34:11.300><c> he</c>

00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:13.179
comes<00:34:11.780><c> to</c><00:34:12.039><c> call</c><00:34:12.280><c> me,</c><00:34:12.760><c> saying</c>

00:34:13.179 --> 00:34:15.360
that<00:34:13.760><c> the</c><00:34:13.980><c> Master</c><00:34:14.300><c> is</c><00:34:14.539><c> come</c>

00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:19.679
So<00:34:18.219><c> she</c><00:34:18.420><c> thinks</c><00:34:18.639><c> in</c><00:34:18.840><c> terms</c><00:34:19.039><c> of</c><00:34:19.239><c> her</c><00:34:19.400><c> husband.</c>

Practical<00:34:20.559><c> thing.</c>

00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:23.559
Others<00:34:22.260><c> I</c><00:34:22.480><c> know</c><00:34:22.639><c> think</c><00:34:22.840><c> that</c><00:34:23.099><c> somebody</c><00:34:23.320><c> else</c>

00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:25.579

00:34:25.579 --> 00:34:27.699
And<00:34:26.360><c> you'll</c><00:34:26.679><c> say,</c>

00:34:28.059 --> 00:34:29.880
oh,<00:34:28.820><c> the</c><00:34:28.960><c> Lord's</c><00:34:29.219><c> come,</c><00:34:29.400><c> he</c><00:34:29.539><c> says,</c>

00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:31.719
and<00:34:30.219><c> we've</c><00:34:30.420><c> got</c><00:34:30.519><c> to</c><00:34:30.639><c> go.</c>

00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:33.760
Others<00:34:32.219><c> think</c><00:34:32.400><c> it's</c><00:34:32.599><c> an</c><00:34:32.780><c> angel.</c>

00:34:33.940 --> 00:34:35.519
Others<00:34:34.119><c> don't</c><00:34:34.500><c> think.</c>

00:34:36.980 --> 00:34:37.619
All<00:34:37.420><c> right.</c>

00:34:37.780 --> 00:34:39.280
And<00:34:38.000><c> that's</c><00:34:38.239><c> the</c><00:34:38.340><c> problem,</c><00:34:38.559><c> isn't</c><00:34:38.679><c> it?</c><00:34:38.780><c> You</c><00:34:39.000><c> know,</c><00:34:39.000><c> you</c><00:34:39.139><c> just</c>

at<00:34:40.179><c> all.</c><00:34:41.000><c> Now</c><00:34:41.119><c> we</c><00:34:41.199><c> might</c><00:34:41.440><c> think</c>

00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:43.820
about<00:34:41.840><c> these</c><00:34:42.039><c> other</c><00:34:42.239><c> people,</c><00:34:42.639><c> well</c><00:34:42.780><c> that's</c><00:34:43.000><c> a</c><00:34:43.199><c> strange</c><00:34:43.460><c> idea</c>

00:34:45.980 --> 00:34:48.099
at<00:34:46.199><c> all.</c><00:34:46.340><c> They're</c><00:34:46.559><c> just</c><00:34:46.760><c> exercising</c><00:34:47.280><c> their</c><00:34:47.619><c> minds</c>

00:34:48.099 --> 00:34:49.760
about<00:34:48.739><c> it</c><00:34:49.039><c> practically</c><00:34:49.420><c> as</c><00:34:49.639><c> to</c>

00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:51.340
what<00:34:49.880><c> is</c><00:34:50.099><c> going</c><00:34:50.219><c> to</c><00:34:50.500><c> happen.</c>

00:34:51.420 --> 00:34:53.659
And<00:34:51.639><c> how</c><00:34:51.940><c> we're</c><00:34:52.179><c> going</c><00:34:52.300><c> to</c><00:34:52.460><c> be</c><00:34:52.659><c> carried</c><00:34:52.880><c> and</c><00:34:53.340><c> taken</c>

00:34:53.659 --> 00:34:55.920
away.<00:34:54.280><c> Now</c><00:34:54.699><c> this</c><00:34:55.340><c> was</c><00:34:55.639><c> part</c>

00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:57.739
of<00:34:56.119><c> their</c><00:34:56.440><c> fire,</c><00:34:56.980><c> of</c><00:34:57.260><c> our</c><00:34:57.440><c> earlier</c>

00:35:00.460 --> 00:35:01.800
And<00:35:00.619><c> they</c><00:35:00.780><c> talked</c><00:35:01.059><c> about</c><00:35:01.320><c> it.</c>

00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:04.280
They<00:35:02.239><c> were</c><00:35:02.360><c> not</c><00:35:02.460><c> going</c><00:35:02.599><c> to</c><00:35:02.619><c> be</c><00:35:02.820><c> wafted</c><00:35:03.119><c> to</c><00:35:03.300><c> the</c><00:35:03.539><c> skies.</c>

00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:07.940

00:35:13.780 --> 00:35:15.760
was<00:35:14.039><c> the</c><00:35:14.500><c> understanding</c><00:35:15.000><c> of</c><00:35:15.260><c> the</c><00:35:15.519><c> promises.</c>

00:35:15.900 --> 00:35:17.780
The<00:35:16.059><c> promises</c><00:35:16.340><c> made</c><00:35:16.559><c> to</c><00:35:16.719><c> Abraham</c><00:35:17.139><c> and</c>

00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:21.800
Now<00:35:20.239><c> that's</c><00:35:20.420><c> been</c><00:35:20.519><c> a</c><00:35:20.659><c> hallmark</c><00:35:20.980><c> of</c><00:35:21.159><c> our</c><00:35:21.320><c> community.</c>

00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:24.260
I<00:35:22.719><c> know</c><00:35:22.880><c> there</c><00:35:23.000><c> are</c><00:35:23.199><c> others</c><00:35:23.360><c> around</c><00:35:23.820><c> that</c>

00:35:26.059 --> 00:35:27.980
started<00:35:27.039><c> in</c><00:35:27.340><c> some</c><00:35:27.539><c> way</c><00:35:27.639><c> to</c>

00:35:27.980 --> 00:35:30.340
appropriate<00:35:28.440><c> a</c><00:35:28.800><c> part</c><00:35:29.179><c> of</c><00:35:29.659><c> the</c><00:35:29.860><c> promises.</c>

00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:32.219
But<00:35:30.820><c> have</c><00:35:30.980><c> not</c><00:35:31.199><c> carried</c><00:35:31.420><c> it</c><00:35:31.739><c> through</c>

00:35:32.219 --> 00:35:33.980
fully<00:35:32.659><c> to</c><00:35:32.860><c> the</c><00:35:33.000><c> Kingdom</c><00:35:33.179><c> of</c><00:35:33.360><c> God</c><00:35:33.559><c> on</c><00:35:33.840><c> Earth</c>

00:35:33.980 --> 00:35:35.760

00:35:35.980 --> 00:35:38.039
That's<00:35:36.280><c> what</c><00:35:36.460><c> changed</c><00:35:36.780><c> our</c><00:35:37.039><c> brethren.</c>

00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:39.900
All<00:35:38.880><c> right.</c><00:35:39.199><c> So</c><00:35:39.500><c> those</c>

00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:10.039
And<00:38:09.480><c> it</c><00:38:09.519><c> says</c><00:38:09.619><c> the</c><00:38:09.760><c> Lord</c>

00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:12.460
does<00:38:10.260><c> it.</c><00:38:11.900><c> And</c><00:38:12.139><c> then</c><00:38:12.260><c> it</c><00:38:12.320><c> says</c>

00:38:12.460 --> 00:38:14.119
God<00:38:12.719><c> will</c><00:38:12.900><c> do</c><00:38:13.000><c> it.</c><00:38:13.239><c> So</c><00:38:13.559><c> will</c><00:38:13.760><c> the</c><00:38:13.940><c> Lord</c>

00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:18.280
And<00:38:16.480><c> they</c><00:38:16.900><c> brought</c><00:38:17.079><c> all</c><00:38:17.300><c> these</c><00:38:17.500><c> points</c><00:38:17.739><c> out.</c>

00:38:18.739 --> 00:38:20.739
Now,<00:38:19.059><c> so</c><00:38:19.260><c> we</c><00:38:19.440><c> should</c><00:38:19.699><c> really</c>

00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:21.940

00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:30.119
we've<00:38:28.420><c> been</c><00:38:28.519><c> through</c><00:38:28.639><c> it</c><00:38:28.800><c> all</c><00:38:28.960><c> before.</c><00:38:29.840><c> It's</c>

00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:31.840

00:38:32.260 --> 00:38:33.860
Absolutely<00:38:32.739><c> marvelous.</c>

00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:36.079
Finally,<00:38:34.840><c> for</c><00:38:35.099><c> our</c><00:38:35.260><c> session,</c>

00:38:36.659 --> 00:38:38.400

00:38:41.539 --> 00:38:43.300
I<00:38:41.599><c> will</c><00:38:41.780><c> test</c><00:38:41.980><c> your</c><00:38:42.199><c> knowledge.</c>

00:38:43.579 --> 00:38:44.519
What,<00:38:43.940><c> when</c>

00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:46.929
did<00:38:45.400><c> the</c><00:38:46.139><c> Laodicean</c>

00:38:47.900 --> 00:38:49.559
times<00:38:48.480><c> begin</c>

00:38:50.699 --> 00:38:51.280
according

00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:53.199
to<00:38:51.920><c> John</c><00:38:52.219><c> Thomas?</c>

00:38:54.739 --> 00:38:55.760
Alright?

00:38:55.820 --> 00:38:58.320
And<00:38:55.980><c> you're</c><00:38:56.179><c> allowed</c><00:38:56.340><c> to</c><00:38:56.579><c> shout</c><00:38:56.760><c> out.</c>

00:39:03.400 --> 00:39:04.739
That's<00:39:03.980><c> a</c><00:39:04.059><c> very</c><00:39:04.340><c> loud</c>

00:39:04.739 --> 00:39:06.139
silence<00:39:05.219><c> I'm</c><00:39:05.440><c> getting</c><00:39:05.579><c> at</c><00:39:05.760><c> the</c><00:39:05.880><c> moment.</c>

00:39:06.139 --> 00:39:08.760
It's<00:39:07.000><c> a</c><00:39:07.099><c> very</c><00:39:07.480><c> loud</c><00:39:07.980><c> silence.</c>

00:39:10.219 --> 00:39:12.360
Now,<00:39:10.619><c> the</c><00:39:10.840><c> usual</c><00:39:11.099><c> thing</c><00:39:11.300><c> is,</c><00:39:12.099><c> and</c><00:39:12.239><c> I</c>

00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:14.159
agree<00:39:12.480><c> with</c><00:39:12.639><c> this,</c><00:39:13.320><c> first</c><00:39:13.519><c> of</c><00:39:13.699><c> all,</c><00:39:13.980><c> those</c>

00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:16.099
letters<00:39:14.519><c> were</c><00:39:14.820><c> written</c><00:39:15.079><c> to</c><00:39:15.320><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:39:15.820><c> that</c>

00:39:16.099 --> 00:39:17.840
actually<00:39:16.599><c> existed.</c>

00:39:18.139 --> 00:39:20.239
But<00:39:18.420><c> they</c><00:39:18.559><c> were</c><00:39:18.820><c> written</c><00:39:19.000><c> in</c><00:39:19.199><c> the</c><00:39:19.380><c> terms</c><00:39:19.639><c> of</c><00:39:19.900><c> things</c>

00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:22.420
which<00:39:20.780><c> must</c><00:39:21.079><c> shortly</c><00:39:21.519><c> come</c><00:39:21.800><c> to</c><00:39:22.039><c> pass.</c>

00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:24.539
So<00:39:23.059><c> obviously,</c><00:39:23.760><c> there</c><00:39:23.820><c> was</c><00:39:24.099><c> about</c>

00:39:24.539 --> 00:39:26.099
what<00:39:24.860><c> was</c><00:39:25.059><c> being</c><00:39:25.280><c> written,</c><00:39:25.820><c> something</c>

00:39:26.099 --> 00:39:28.460
that<00:39:26.280><c> was</c><00:39:26.579><c> prophetic,</c><00:39:27.699><c> as</c><00:39:27.820><c> well</c><00:39:28.059><c> as</c>

00:39:28.460 --> 00:39:30.900
applicable<00:39:28.800><c> to</c><00:39:29.039><c> that</c><00:39:29.280><c> particular</c><00:39:29.719><c> time.</c>

00:39:31.659 --> 00:39:32.079
Therefore,

00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:34.219
those<00:39:32.500><c> things</c><00:39:32.739><c> had</c><00:39:32.940><c> to</c><00:39:33.119><c> work</c><00:39:33.239><c> themselves</c><00:39:33.659><c> out.</c>

00:39:34.219 --> 00:39:36.880
And<00:39:35.139><c> you</c><00:39:35.260><c> could</c><00:39:35.420><c> work</c><00:39:35.599><c> it</c><00:39:35.800><c> out</c><00:39:35.900><c> by</c><00:39:36.139><c> having</c><00:39:36.420><c> either</c>

00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:38.739

00:39:38.739 --> 00:39:40.559
being<00:39:39.480><c> existent</c><00:39:39.900><c> in</c><00:39:40.139><c> some</c><00:39:40.340><c> way</c>

00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:42.539
now,<00:39:41.019><c> here,</c><00:39:41.860><c> in</c>

00:39:42.539 --> 00:39:43.719

00:39:57.320 --> 00:39:58.219
Answering<00:39:57.719><c> the</c><00:39:57.860><c> question</c>

00:39:58.219 --> 00:40:00.820
that<00:39:58.559><c> our</c><00:39:58.760><c> brother</c><00:39:58.900><c> asked</c><00:39:59.260><c> a</c><00:39:59.400><c> moment</c><00:39:59.579><c> ago,</c>

00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:08.840
because<00:40:08.320><c> we're</c><00:40:08.599><c> all</c>

00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:10.519

I<00:40:11.679><c> wonder.</c>

00:40:13.659 --> 00:40:14.539
Alright.

00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:17.309
The<00:40:15.400><c> Laodicean</c><00:40:16.300><c> times</c>

00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:18.820

Constant<00:40:24.760><c> time.</c>

00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:29.179
When<00:40:27.360><c> the</c><00:40:27.559><c> apostasy</c><00:40:28.139><c> became</c><00:40:28.559><c> enthroned</c>

in<00:40:29.320><c> the</c><00:40:29.420><c> Roman</c><00:40:29.679><c> Empire.</c>

00:40:31.340 --> 00:40:31.860
Alright.

00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:33.420
That's<00:40:32.159><c> how</c><00:40:32.420><c> he</c><00:40:32.699><c> regarded</c><00:40:33.099><c> it.</c>

00:40:33.639 --> 00:40:35.739
It<00:40:33.840><c> wasn't</c><00:40:34.139><c> that</c><00:40:34.260><c> it</c><00:40:34.400><c> was</c><00:40:34.500><c> just</c><00:40:34.719><c> going</c><00:40:34.800><c> to</c><00:40:34.880><c> be</c><00:40:35.019><c> an</c><00:40:35.119><c> 18th</c><00:40:35.559><c> century</c>

00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:39.239
phenomenon.

00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:41.880
We're<00:40:39.739><c> living</c><00:40:40.039><c> in</c><00:40:40.420><c> a</c><00:40:40.639><c> period</c><00:40:40.980><c> when</c>

00:40:46.360 --> 00:40:47.599
survive.

00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:50.139
Now,<00:40:48.179><c> if</c><00:40:48.340><c> we</c><00:40:48.719><c> think</c><00:40:49.059><c> we</c><00:40:49.320><c> are</c><00:40:49.579><c> in</c>

Alright.

00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:37.159
That's<00:41:36.599><c> what's</c><00:41:36.719><c> been</c><00:41:36.860><c> happening.</c>

00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:39.239

All<00:41:48.219><c> I</c><00:41:48.380><c> can</c><00:41:48.579><c> say</c><00:41:48.840><c> is</c>

00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:11.300
You<00:42:09.659><c> say,</c><00:42:09.780><c> what's</c><00:42:10.000><c> the</c><00:42:10.059><c> point</c><00:42:10.179><c> of</c><00:42:10.300><c> reading</c><00:42:10.400><c> all</c><00:42:10.619><c> those</c><00:42:10.860><c> names?</c>

00:42:11.699 --> 00:42:13.119
Well<00:42:11.760><c> Sister</c><00:42:11.940><c> Bernice</c><00:42:12.300><c> said,</c><00:42:12.579><c> they</c><00:42:12.699><c> were</c><00:42:12.900><c> all</c>

00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:19.059
And<00:42:17.500><c> therefore</c><00:42:17.659><c> we're</c><00:42:18.280><c> echoing</c><00:42:18.679><c> what</c><00:42:18.840><c> was</c>
