So<00:02:41.419><c> that</c><00:02:41.520><c> the</c><00:02:41.699><c> people</c><00:02:41.900><c> said</c><00:02:42.139><c> to</c><00:02:42.360><c> Moses,</c><00:02:44.719><c> you</c><00:02:44.879><c> go</c><00:02:45.139><c> and</c><00:02:45.379><c> speak</c><00:02:45.580><c> to</c><00:02:45.860><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.719
They<00:02:47.039><c> heard</c><00:02:47.319><c> the</c><00:02:47.520><c> ten</c><00:02:47.759><c> words</c><00:02:48.500><c> thundering</c><00:02:49.120><c> from</c><00:02:49.300><c> that</c><00:02:49.479><c> mountain</c><00:02:49.979><c> that</c>

00:02:51.979 --> 00:02:53.560
And<00:02:52.159><c> the</c><00:02:52.319><c> law</c><00:02:52.479><c> was</c><00:02:52.780><c> laid</c><00:02:53.039><c> down.</c>

00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.159
Even<00:02:54.259><c> if</c><00:02:54.500><c> a</c><00:02:54.680><c> beast</c><00:02:54.900><c> comes</c><00:02:55.599><c> to</c><00:02:56.139><c> the</c><00:02:56.280><c> boundary</c><00:02:56.659><c> of</c><00:02:56.900><c> Mount</c><00:02:57.520><c> Horeb,</c>

00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:06.740
People<00:03:01.599><c> were</c><00:03:02.900><c> repelled</c><00:03:04.479><c> by</c><00:03:05.139><c> that</c><00:03:05.400><c> experience.</c>

00:03:07.259 --> 00:03:09.620
It's<00:03:07.340><c> totally</c><00:03:07.659><c> different</c><00:03:08.020><c> here,</c><00:03:08.439><c> brethren</c><00:03:08.539><c> and</c><00:03:08.819><c> sisters.</c>

00:03:09.740 --> 00:03:14.199
He<00:03:09.800><c> goes</c><00:03:10.099><c> up</c><00:03:10.460><c> into</c><00:03:10.800><c> a</c><00:03:10.979><c> mountain</c><00:03:11.300><c> and</c><00:03:11.639><c> invites</c><00:03:12.479><c> the</c><00:03:13.139><c> people</c><00:03:13.580><c> to</c>

follow<00:03:14.400><c> him.</c>

00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.199
To<00:03:15.659><c> make</c><00:03:15.960><c> the</c><00:03:16.340><c> effort</c><00:03:16.719><c> to</c><00:03:17.060><c> draw</c><00:03:17.300><c> near</c><00:03:18.020><c> to</c><00:03:18.319><c> God.</c>

00:03:19.379 --> 00:03:23.819
And<00:03:19.520><c> to</c><00:03:19.819><c> hearken</c><00:03:20.240><c> to</c><00:03:20.639><c> the</c><00:03:20.819><c> words</c><00:03:21.120><c> that</c><00:03:21.360><c> he</c><00:03:21.599><c> will</c><00:03:21.879><c> speak</c><00:03:22.300><c> on</c><00:03:23.020><c> behalf</c><00:03:23.560><c> of</c>

00:03:23.819 --> 00:03:25.120
his<00:03:24.099><c> father.</c>

00:03:25.460 --> 00:03:27.860
And<00:03:25.620><c> the</c><00:03:25.800><c> contrast</c><00:03:26.240><c> is</c><00:03:26.520><c> made</c><00:03:26.699><c> again</c><00:03:27.020><c> in</c><00:03:27.219><c> verse</c><00:03:27.539><c> 2.</c>

00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:29.560
Why<00:03:28.240><c> do</c><00:03:28.400><c> you</c><00:03:28.419><c> think</c><00:03:28.560><c> it</c><00:03:28.719><c> says</c><00:03:28.979><c> this?</c>

00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:33.659
And<00:03:30.520><c> he</c><00:03:30.719><c> opened</c><00:03:31.039><c> his</c><00:03:31.340><c> mouth</c><00:03:31.620><c> and</c><00:03:31.939><c> taught</c><00:03:32.280><c> them</c><00:03:32.680><c> saying.</c>

00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.159
Now<00:03:34.039><c> I</c><00:03:34.120><c> was</c><00:03:34.340><c> just</c><00:03:34.560><c> invited</c><00:03:34.860><c> to</c><00:03:35.039><c> get</c><00:03:35.139><c> up</c><00:03:35.319><c> and</c><00:03:35.500><c> speak</c><00:03:35.759><c> to</c><00:03:35.960><c> you.</c>

00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:40.319
It's<00:03:36.840><c> palpably</c><00:03:37.219><c> obvious</c><00:03:37.639><c> to</c><00:03:37.819><c> you</c><00:03:37.900><c> that</c><00:03:38.060><c> I</c><00:03:38.099><c> have</c><00:03:38.340><c> to</c><00:03:38.580><c> open</c><00:03:38.960><c> my</c><00:03:39.300><c> mouth.</c>

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.080
What<00:03:40.819><c> would</c><00:03:41.000><c> happen</c><00:03:41.159><c> if</c><00:03:41.319><c> I</c><00:03:41.520><c> didn't</c><00:03:42.099><c> open</c><00:03:42.680><c> my</c><00:03:43.159><c> mouth?</c>

00:03:44.219 --> 00:03:46.759
So<00:03:44.479><c> why</c><00:03:44.800><c> do</c><00:03:44.919><c> you</c><00:03:45.039><c> need</c><00:03:45.219><c> to</c><00:03:45.400><c> be</c><00:03:45.620><c> told</c><00:03:45.900><c> that?</c>

00:03:46.939 --> 00:03:48.240
It's<00:03:47.280><c> obvious,</c><00:03:47.819><c> isn't</c><00:03:47.900><c> it?</c>

00:03:48.460 --> 00:03:53.759
If<00:03:48.599><c> he's</c><00:03:48.840><c> going</c><00:03:48.960><c> to</c><00:03:49.180><c> teach,</c><00:03:49.539><c> of</c><00:03:50.060><c> course</c><00:03:50.620><c> he</c><00:03:51.060><c> has</c><00:03:51.539><c> to</c><00:03:52.060><c> open</c><00:03:52.479><c> his</c><00:03:52.840><c> mouth.</c>

00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:55.979
So<00:03:54.539><c> why</c><00:03:54.759><c> is</c><00:03:54.879><c> it</c><00:03:55.020><c> there?</c>

00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:57.580
Why<00:03:56.699><c> bother?</c>

00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.159
It's<00:03:58.599><c> there</c><00:03:58.860><c> for</c><00:03:59.039><c> a</c><00:03:59.120><c> very</c><00:03:59.520><c> important</c><00:04:00.000><c> reason.</c>

00:04:01.580 --> 00:04:05.120
Because<00:04:01.580><c> Moses</c><00:04:02.219><c> brought</c><00:04:02.639><c> down</c><00:04:03.039><c> from</c><00:04:03.300><c> a</c><00:04:03.500><c> mountain</c><00:04:03.939><c> two</c><00:04:04.620><c> tables</c>

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:06.800
of<00:04:05.680><c> stone.</c>

00:04:06.860 --> 00:04:10.960
In<00:04:06.960><c> which</c><00:04:07.180><c> was</c><00:04:07.520><c> written</c><00:04:07.979><c> the</c><00:04:08.580><c> law</c><00:04:09.000><c> of</c><00:04:09.379><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:04:11.259 --> 00:04:15.419
Here<00:04:11.419><c> on</c><00:04:11.620><c> this</c><00:04:11.879><c> mountain</c><00:04:12.240><c> to</c><00:04:12.419><c> which</c><00:04:12.639><c> the</c><00:04:12.879><c> people</c><00:04:13.219><c> could</c><00:04:13.680><c> not</c><00:04:14.120><c> approach.</c>

00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.819
These<00:04:17.439><c> disciples</c><00:04:18.220><c> who</c><00:04:19.060><c> made</c><00:04:19.500><c> the</c><00:04:19.740><c> effort</c><00:04:19.899><c> to</c><00:04:20.160><c> go</c><00:04:20.519><c> into</c><00:04:21.000><c> the</c><00:04:21.259><c> mountain.</c>

00:04:21.819 --> 00:04:26.259
Could<00:04:22.740><c> hear</c><00:04:23.060><c> these</c><00:04:23.379><c> words</c><00:04:24.040><c> from</c><00:04:24.879><c> the</c><00:04:25.040><c> mouth</c><00:04:25.420><c> of</c><00:04:25.680><c> the</c><00:04:25.759><c> son</c><00:04:26.000><c> of</c>

00:04:26.259 --> 00:04:28.399
God<00:04:26.939><c> himself.</c>

00:04:29.019 --> 00:04:30.279
That's<00:04:29.079><c> why</c><00:04:29.300><c> it</c><00:04:29.459><c> says.</c>

00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:36.199
And<00:04:30.439><c> when</c><00:04:30.800><c> he</c><00:04:31.120><c> was</c><00:04:31.980><c> set,</c><00:04:33.600><c> he</c><00:04:33.779><c> opened</c><00:04:34.379><c> his</c><00:04:34.939><c> mouth</c><00:04:35.399><c> and</c><00:04:35.939><c> taught</c>

00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.079
them<00:04:36.959><c> saying.</c>

00:04:38.740 --> 00:04:43.180
There's<00:04:39.000><c> both</c><00:04:39.220><c> a</c><00:04:39.600><c> comparison</c><00:04:40.079><c> and</c><00:04:40.899><c> a</c><00:04:41.379><c> contrast</c><00:04:41.759><c> made</c><00:04:42.220><c> with</c><00:04:42.620><c> the</c><00:04:42.800><c> giving</c><00:04:42.959><c> of</c>

00:04:43.180 --> 00:04:43.899
the<00:04:43.319><c> law</c><00:04:43.420><c> of</c><00:04:43.660><c> Moses.</c>

00:04:43.980 --> 00:04:47.339
And<00:04:44.100><c> he's</c><00:04:44.300><c> going</c><00:04:44.399><c> to</c><00:04:44.579><c> talk</c><00:04:44.720><c> in</c><00:04:44.899><c> a</c><00:04:45.040><c> moment</c><00:04:45.339><c> in</c><00:04:46.259><c> the</c><00:04:46.439><c> verses</c><00:04:46.819><c> that</c>

00:04:48.579 --> 00:04:51.139
About<00:04:48.980><c> his</c><00:04:49.319><c> relationship</c><00:04:49.980><c> to</c><00:04:50.259><c> the</c><00:04:50.399><c> law</c><00:04:50.519><c> of</c><00:04:50.800><c> Moses.</c>

00:04:51.139 --> 00:04:53.920
Think<00:04:51.839><c> not</c><00:04:52.079><c> that</c><00:04:52.240><c> I</c><00:04:52.379><c> am</c><00:04:52.519><c> come</c><00:04:52.680><c> to</c><00:04:52.879><c> destroy</c><00:04:53.360><c> the</c><00:04:53.620><c> law.</c>

00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:59.139

00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:00.779
That's<00:04:59.579><c> what</c><00:04:59.699><c> he</c><00:04:59.800><c> means.</c>

00:05:01.180 --> 00:05:03.839
He's<00:05:01.360><c> going</c><00:05:01.519><c> to</c><00:05:01.600><c> take</c><00:05:01.819><c> it</c><00:05:02.079><c> beyond</c><00:05:02.660><c> law.</c>

00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.300

00:06:20.100 --> 00:06:24.019
But<00:06:20.339><c> you</c><00:06:20.839><c> know</c><00:06:21.000><c> you</c><00:06:21.000><c> can't</c><00:06:21.420><c> say</c><00:06:21.720><c> I'm</c><00:06:21.939><c> a</c><00:06:22.199><c> very</c><00:06:22.819><c> meek</c><00:06:23.519><c> person.</c>

00:06:33.819 --> 00:06:37.139
This<00:06:34.000><c> is</c><00:06:34.180><c> not</c><00:06:34.339><c> about</c><00:06:34.639><c> your</c><00:06:35.160><c> natural</c><00:06:35.980><c> tendencies.</c>

00:06:37.500 --> 00:06:41.339
This<00:06:38.259><c> is</c><00:06:38.420><c> about</c><00:06:38.860><c> developing</c><00:06:39.439><c> a</c><00:06:39.740><c> character</c><00:06:40.079><c> that</c><00:06:40.279><c> is</c><00:06:40.680><c> totally</c>

00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:49.360
It's<00:06:45.759><c> about</c><00:06:46.220><c> changing</c><00:06:47.040><c> the</c><00:06:47.300><c> way</c><00:06:47.860><c> we</c><00:06:48.220><c> behave.</c>

00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.439
So<00:06:50.779><c> you</c><00:06:50.899><c> see</c><00:06:51.040><c> you</c><00:06:51.160><c> can't</c><00:06:51.579><c> just</c><00:06:51.779><c> say</c><00:06:51.959><c> well</c><00:06:52.300><c> I</c><00:06:52.480><c> like</c><00:06:52.740><c> that</c><00:06:53.019><c> one.</c>

I'll<00:06:54.540><c> focus</c><00:06:54.920><c> on</c><00:06:55.160><c> that</c><00:06:55.379><c> one.</c>

00:06:55.620 --> 00:06:57.560
Or<00:06:55.779><c> maybe</c><00:06:56.060><c> this</c><00:06:56.279><c> one</c><00:06:56.399><c> over</c><00:06:56.680><c> here.</c>

00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:04.220
It's<00:07:03.740><c> complete.</c>

00:07:04.220 --> 00:07:07.079
It's<00:07:05.019><c> Christ's</c><00:07:06.120><c> own.</c>

00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:11.000

00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:16.040
As<00:07:11.720><c> you</c><00:07:11.860><c> would</c><00:07:12.079><c> expect</c><00:07:12.579><c> there's</c><00:07:13.160><c> a</c><00:07:13.399><c> logical</c><00:07:13.819><c> order</c><00:07:14.180><c> of</c><00:07:14.560><c> development</c><00:07:14.980><c> here.</c>

There's<00:07:16.300><c> a</c><00:07:16.420><c> process.</c>

00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.540

00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.259
Now<00:07:20.819><c> this</c><00:07:20.980><c> is</c><00:07:21.199><c> nothing</c><00:07:21.399><c> new</c><00:07:21.899><c> is</c><00:07:22.120><c> it?</c>

00:07:30.420 --> 00:07:33.939
Add<00:07:31.199><c> to</c><00:07:31.259><c> your</c><00:07:31.699><c> faith</c><00:07:32.060><c> virtue</c><00:07:32.600><c> and</c><00:07:32.899><c> to</c><00:07:33.060><c> virtue</c><00:07:33.459><c> knowledge.</c>

00:07:36.019 --> 00:07:40.319
If<00:07:36.180><c> these</c><00:07:36.699><c> things</c><00:07:36.959><c> be</c><00:07:37.300><c> in</c><00:07:37.480><c> you</c><00:07:37.759><c> and</c><00:07:38.000><c> abound</c><00:07:38.360><c> he</c><00:07:38.579><c> says</c><00:07:38.800><c> they</c><00:07:38.980><c> will</c><00:07:39.220><c> make</c><00:07:39.420><c> you</c><00:07:39.779><c> fruitful.</c>

00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:42.379
And<00:07:40.839><c> you'll</c><00:07:41.040><c> be</c><00:07:41.180><c> in</c><00:07:41.300><c> the</c><00:07:41.480><c> kingdom.</c>

00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.439
If<00:07:51.579><c> you</c><00:07:51.699><c> want</c><00:07:51.899><c> eternal</c><00:07:52.360><c> life</c><00:07:52.620><c> and</c><00:07:52.759><c> that's</c><00:07:52.860><c> what</c><00:07:53.060><c> Peter's</c>

00:07:56.699 --> 00:07:58.000
He<00:07:56.860><c> means</c><00:07:57.120><c> eternal</c><00:07:57.600><c> life.</c>

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.860

eight<00:08:03.100><c> characteristics.</c>

00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:07.899
There<00:08:05.160><c> are</c><00:08:05.339><c> eight</c><00:08:05.540><c> here</c><00:08:06.040><c> in</c><00:08:06.800><c> the</c><00:08:07.019><c> blessings.</c>

00:08:08.379 --> 00:08:11.339
And<00:08:08.439><c> it's</c><00:08:08.600><c> about</c><00:08:08.860><c> a</c><00:08:09.100><c> character</c><00:08:09.379><c> that</c><00:08:09.879><c> we</c><00:08:10.060><c> need</c><00:08:10.279><c> to</c><00:08:10.540><c> develop.</c>

00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:16.459
All<00:08:12.439><c> must</c><00:08:12.819><c> be</c><00:08:13.120><c> developed</c><00:08:13.439><c> to</c><00:08:14.120><c> attain</c><00:08:14.500><c> the</c><00:08:14.779><c> fullness</c><00:08:15.160><c> of</c><00:08:16.220><c> the</c>

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.620
But<00:08:19.180><c> before</c><00:08:19.459><c> we</c><00:08:19.699><c> enter</c><00:08:19.899><c> into</c><00:08:20.120><c> them</c><00:08:20.300><c> we</c><00:08:20.379><c> need</c><00:08:20.639><c> to</c><00:08:20.819><c> ask</c><00:08:21.040><c> a</c><00:08:21.259><c> question.</c>

00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:24.139
It's<00:08:22.279><c> a</c><00:08:22.399><c> very</c><00:08:22.660><c> relevant</c><00:08:23.060><c> question.</c>

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.779
Why<00:08:24.800><c> blessings</c><00:08:25.500><c> only?</c>

00:08:27.100 --> 00:08:28.620
Why<00:08:27.660><c> isn't</c><00:08:27.899><c> there</c><00:08:28.040><c> any</c><00:08:28.439><c> curses?</c>

00:08:28.819 --> 00:08:32.139
Why<00:08:28.980><c> doesn't</c><00:08:29.199><c> he</c><00:08:29.439><c> say</c><00:08:29.860><c> blessed</c><00:08:30.360><c> are</c><00:08:30.600><c> the</c><00:08:30.819><c> meek</c><00:08:31.120><c> and</c><00:08:31.420><c> cursed</c><00:08:31.819><c> be</c>

00:08:32.139 --> 00:08:33.820
the<00:08:32.360><c> proud</c><00:08:32.580><c> and</c><00:08:32.779><c> the</c><00:08:33.039><c> arrogant?</c>

00:08:34.940 --> 00:08:36.600
That's<00:08:35.159><c> what</c><00:08:35.299><c> I</c><00:08:35.480><c> would</c><00:08:35.559><c> have</c><00:08:35.700><c> done.</c>

00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:38.379
What<00:08:37.279><c> about</c><00:08:37.460><c> you?</c>

00:08:39.779 --> 00:08:42.700
There<00:08:40.059><c> are</c><00:08:40.320><c> no</c><00:08:41.039><c> curses</c><00:08:41.700><c> here.</c>

00:08:43.019 --> 00:08:45.159
It's<00:08:43.580><c> all</c><00:08:44.139><c> blessings.</c>

00:08:45.740 --> 00:08:47.860
And<00:08:45.840><c> there's</c><00:08:46.039><c> a</c><00:08:46.320><c> contrast</c><00:08:46.659><c> being</c><00:08:46.960><c> made</c><00:08:47.220><c> with</c><00:08:47.399><c> the</c><00:08:47.620><c> law.</c>

00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.759
The<00:08:48.399><c> law</c><00:08:48.720><c> has</c><00:08:49.379><c> blessings</c><00:08:50.059><c> and</c><00:08:51.240><c> cursings.</c>

00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.200
Oh,<00:08:52.080><c> here</c><00:08:52.159><c> the</c><00:08:52.399><c> cursings</c><00:08:52.759><c> come</c><00:08:53.039><c> in</c><00:08:53.120><c> Matthew</c><00:08:53.460><c> 23.</c>

00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.120
Don't<00:08:54.559><c> they?</c><00:08:54.759><c> Much</c><00:08:55.019><c> later.</c>

00:08:57.259 --> 00:08:58.720
But<00:08:57.440><c> they're</c><00:08:57.539><c> not</c><00:08:57.759><c> here.</c>

00:08:59.419 --> 00:09:01.340
And<00:08:59.580><c> there's</c><00:08:59.759><c> a</c><00:08:59.879><c> very</c><00:09:00.200><c> real</c><00:09:00.399><c> reason</c><00:09:00.919><c> for</c><00:09:01.139><c> that.</c>

00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:05.179
The<00:09:01.580><c> absence</c><00:09:02.000><c> of</c><00:09:02.340><c> curses</c><00:09:02.679><c> points</c><00:09:03.120><c> to</c><00:09:03.419><c> a</c><00:09:03.600><c> grave</c><00:09:04.039><c> reality.</c>

00:09:06.659 --> 00:09:13.379
Love,<00:09:07.240><c> not</c><00:09:07.820><c> law,</c><00:09:08.960><c> must</c><00:09:09.259><c> rule</c><00:09:09.879><c> in</c><00:09:10.340><c> the</c><00:09:10.559><c> life</c><00:09:11.000><c> of</c><00:09:11.580><c> people</c><00:09:12.240><c> who</c><00:09:12.779><c> are</c><00:09:12.980><c> going</c><00:09:13.200><c> to</c>

00:09:17.620 --> 00:09:20.620
No<00:09:17.860><c> disobedience</c><00:09:18.600><c> is</c><00:09:18.740><c> going</c><00:09:18.940><c> to</c><00:09:19.120><c> mar</c><00:09:19.279><c> Christ's</c><00:09:19.879><c> kingdom,</c><00:09:20.080><c> will</c><00:09:20.220><c> it?</c>

00:09:20.620 --> 00:09:24.019
All<00:09:21.539><c> wickedness</c><00:09:22.299><c> will</c><00:09:22.440><c> be</c><00:09:22.700><c> destroyed.</c>

00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.519
And<00:09:24.679><c> the</c><00:09:24.820><c> law</c><00:09:25.120><c> highlighted</c><00:09:25.720><c> sin,</c><00:09:26.279><c> Romans</c><00:09:26.559><c> 7</c><00:09:26.980><c> verse</c><00:09:27.220><c> 7.</c>

00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:31.580
Paul<00:09:27.879><c> tells</c><00:09:28.259><c> us,</c><00:09:28.500><c> doesn't</c><00:09:28.759><c> he,</c><00:09:29.919><c> that</c><00:09:30.139><c> the</c><00:09:30.340><c> law</c><00:09:30.820><c> highlighted</c>

00:09:31.580 --> 00:09:33.019
his<00:09:31.899><c> problems.</c>

00:09:33.460 --> 00:09:35.679
I<00:09:33.500><c> would</c><00:09:33.720><c> not</c><00:09:33.840><c> have</c><00:09:34.000><c> known</c><00:09:34.220><c> last</c><00:09:34.559><c> except</c><00:09:34.919><c> the</c><00:09:35.120><c> law</c><00:09:35.320><c> had</c><00:09:35.519><c> said</c>

00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:37.240
thou<00:09:35.879><c> shalt</c><00:09:36.039><c> not</c><00:09:36.360><c> cover.</c>

00:09:38.580 --> 00:09:43.759
So<00:09:38.779><c> it's</c><00:09:39.000><c> not</c><00:09:39.539><c> mildness</c><00:09:40.360><c> of</c><00:09:40.659><c> disposition</c><00:09:41.259><c> but</c><00:09:42.879><c> stern</c><00:09:43.220><c> logic</c>

00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:49.580
which<00:09:44.980><c> impelled</c><00:09:45.559><c> the</c><00:09:45.799><c> Lord</c><00:09:46.019><c> to</c><00:09:46.299><c> open</c><00:09:46.899><c> with</c><00:09:47.720><c> blessings</c><00:09:48.360><c> only.</c>

00:09:49.580 --> 00:09:56.299
Citizens<00:09:50.720><c> of</c><00:09:51.019><c> Zion</c><00:09:51.340><c> must</c><00:09:51.679><c> live</c><00:09:51.940><c> by</c><00:09:52.379><c> love,</c><00:09:53.600><c> not</c><00:09:54.620><c> by</c><00:09:55.419><c> law.</c>

00:09:56.860 --> 00:09:57.700
That's<00:09:57.179><c> the</c><00:09:57.320><c> principle.</c>

00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.919
He<00:09:58.039><c> wants</c><00:09:58.259><c> to</c><00:09:58.500><c> drive</c><00:09:58.720><c> home</c><00:09:59.220><c> with</c><00:10:00.500><c> blessings</c><00:10:00.860><c> only.</c>

00:10:02.379 --> 00:10:03.539
It's<00:10:02.620><c> subtle,</c><00:10:02.980><c> isn't</c><00:10:03.100><c> it?</c>

00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.919
It's<00:10:03.879><c> very</c><00:10:04.200><c> subtle</c><00:10:04.620><c> but</c><00:10:05.600><c> it's</c><00:10:05.799><c> very</c><00:10:06.080><c> powerful</c><00:10:06.539><c> as</c><00:10:06.820><c> well</c><00:10:07.360><c> because</c><00:10:07.659><c> it's</c>

00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.840
the<00:10:08.139><c> key</c><00:10:08.559><c> to</c><00:10:09.179><c> what</c><00:10:09.240><c> he</c><00:10:09.360><c> has</c><00:10:09.600><c> to</c><00:10:09.820><c> say</c><00:10:10.200><c> in</c><00:10:10.679><c> what</c><00:10:10.940><c> follows.</c>

00:10:12.299 --> 00:10:16.620

00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:23.559
Beatitudes.

00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.559
Well,<00:10:25.039><c> okay,</c><00:10:25.639><c> we</c><00:10:25.840><c> won't</c><00:10:25.980><c> make</c><00:10:26.139><c> anybody</c><00:10:26.500><c> an</c><00:10:26.720><c> offender</c><00:10:26.960><c> for</c><00:10:27.179><c> a</c><00:10:27.340><c> word.</c>

00:10:27.860 --> 00:10:30.340
You<00:10:28.019><c> might</c><00:10:28.139><c> have</c><00:10:28.299><c> noticed</c><00:10:28.480><c> I</c><00:10:28.659><c> haven't</c><00:10:28.840><c> used</c><00:10:29.059><c> the</c><00:10:29.220><c> word</c><00:10:29.500><c> sermon.</c>

I<00:10:33.259><c> don't</c><00:10:33.460><c> use</c><00:10:33.700><c> it</c><00:10:33.879><c> because</c><00:10:34.179><c> this</c><00:10:34.559><c> is</c><00:10:34.879><c> the</c><00:10:35.240><c> furthest</c><00:10:35.639><c> thing</c><00:10:36.139><c> from</c><00:10:36.399><c> a</c>

00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.039
sermon<00:10:37.080><c> that</c><00:10:37.500><c> I've</c><00:10:37.740><c> ever</c><00:10:38.159><c> seen.</c>

00:10:39.500 --> 00:10:41.559
This<00:10:39.940><c> is</c><00:10:40.120><c> not</c><00:10:40.299><c> a</c><00:10:40.639><c> sermon.</c>

00:10:42.820 --> 00:10:47.620
This<00:10:42.980><c> is</c><00:10:43.440><c> the</c><00:10:43.720><c> King's</c><00:10:44.779><c> manifesto</c><00:10:45.779><c> for</c><00:10:46.000><c> eternal</c><00:10:46.440><c> life.</c>

00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:52.120
You<00:10:48.879><c> can't</c><00:10:49.080><c> get</c><00:10:49.240><c> much</c><00:10:49.460><c> further</c><00:10:49.659><c> from</c><00:10:50.320><c> a</c><00:10:50.539><c> sermon</c><00:10:50.759><c> than</c><00:10:50.980><c> that.</c>

00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.039
So<00:10:52.659><c> that's</c><00:10:52.720><c> why</c><00:10:52.860><c> I</c><00:10:53.019><c> don't</c><00:10:53.059><c> use</c><00:10:53.360><c> that</c><00:10:53.600><c> term.</c>

00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:56.700
Beatitudes,<00:10:56.100><c> what</c><00:10:56.220><c> does</c><00:10:56.379><c> it</c><00:10:56.519><c> mean?</c>

00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:58.759
Well,<00:10:57.000><c> it</c><00:10:57.100><c> just</c><00:10:57.240><c> simply</c><00:10:57.460><c> means</c><00:10:57.779><c> blessings.</c>

00:10:58.899 --> 00:11:02.940
But<00:10:59.039><c> this</c><00:10:59.279><c> word</c><00:10:59.580><c> that</c><00:10:59.779><c> is</c><00:11:00.059><c> used</c><00:11:00.379><c> here</c><00:11:01.159><c> on</c><00:11:02.100><c> many</c><00:11:02.340><c> occasions,</c>

00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.860
blessed<00:11:03.519><c> are</c><00:11:03.740><c> the</c><00:11:03.940><c> poor,</c><00:11:04.279><c> blessed</c><00:11:04.539><c> are</c><00:11:04.840><c> they,</c><00:11:05.419><c> blessed</c><00:11:05.639><c> are</c>

00:11:06.700 --> 00:11:09.360
Is<00:11:07.500><c> this</c><00:11:07.799><c> Greek</c><00:11:08.059><c> word,</c><00:11:09.019><c> makarios.</c>

00:11:09.860 --> 00:11:11.600
Now<00:11:10.019><c> it</c><00:11:10.059><c> means</c><00:11:10.460><c> happy.</c>

00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:18.159
But<00:11:12.019><c> this</c><00:11:12.159><c> is</c><00:11:12.299><c> not</c><00:11:12.480><c> a</c><00:11:12.720><c> passing</c><00:11:13.379><c> happiness</c><00:11:13.899><c> or</c><00:11:14.340><c> joy,</c><00:11:15.759><c> but</c><00:11:15.960><c> rather</c><00:11:16.299><c> a</c><00:11:16.659><c> continuing</c><00:11:17.120><c> condition</c><00:11:17.799><c> of</c>

00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:18.899
the<00:11:18.519><c> heart.</c>

00:11:19.379 --> 00:11:20.399
And<00:11:19.480><c> there's</c><00:11:19.720><c> proof</c><00:11:20.059><c> for</c><00:11:20.299><c> that.</c>

00:11:20.460 --> 00:11:24.259
I<00:11:20.539><c> want</c><00:11:20.659><c> you</c><00:11:20.799><c> to</c><00:11:20.919><c> come</c><00:11:21.059><c> to</c><00:11:21.200><c> John</c><00:11:21.480><c> chapter</c><00:11:21.799><c> 13</c><00:11:22.320><c> and</c><00:11:22.519><c> verse</c><00:11:22.740><c> 17.</c>

00:11:30.340 --> 00:11:32.240
John<00:11:30.700><c> chapter</c><00:11:31.019><c> 13.</c>

00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:36.679
Well,<00:11:33.399><c> we</c><00:11:33.480><c> find</c><00:11:33.740><c> this</c><00:11:33.960><c> word</c><00:11:34.259><c> makarios</c><00:11:34.940><c> used</c><00:11:35.399><c> again.</c>

00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.240
In<00:11:38.340><c> verse</c><00:11:38.580><c> 17</c><00:11:39.059><c> he</c><00:11:39.419><c> says,</c>

00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:46.259
If<00:11:40.980><c> ye</c><00:11:41.299><c> know</c><00:11:41.620><c> these</c><00:11:42.000><c> things,</c><00:11:42.899><c> happy</c><00:11:43.279><c> are</c><00:11:43.620><c> ye</c><00:11:43.899><c> if</c><00:11:44.179><c> ye</c><00:11:45.000><c> do</c><00:11:45.340><c> them.</c>

00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.740
So<00:11:47.340><c> a</c><00:11:47.379><c> word</c><00:11:47.679><c> happy</c><00:11:48.039><c> here</c><00:11:48.379><c> is</c><00:11:48.600><c> the</c><00:11:48.740><c> word</c><00:11:49.419><c> makarios.</c>

00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:55.340
If<00:11:51.799><c> ye</c><00:11:52.259><c> know</c><00:11:52.820><c> these</c><00:11:53.279><c> things,</c><00:11:53.759><c> oida</c><00:11:54.120><c> is</c><00:11:54.419><c> the</c><00:11:54.659><c> Greek,</c><00:11:54.960><c> means</c><00:11:55.120><c> to</c>

00:11:55.340 --> 00:11:57.320
know,<00:11:55.600><c> to</c><00:11:55.779><c> be</c><00:11:55.980><c> equated</c><00:11:56.240><c> with</c><00:11:56.440><c> something.</c>

00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:02.399
Happy<00:11:58.960><c> are</c><00:11:59.559><c> ye</c><00:11:59.820><c> if</c><00:12:00.100><c> ye</c><00:12:00.580><c> do</c><00:12:00.899><c> them,</c><00:12:01.399><c> poio.</c>

00:12:02.820 --> 00:12:06.159
That<00:12:03.019><c> Greek</c><00:12:03.299><c> word</c><00:12:03.600><c> means</c><00:12:03.980><c> to</c><00:12:04.320><c> make,</c><00:12:04.820><c> that</c><00:12:04.919><c> is</c><00:12:05.120><c> to</c><00:12:05.419><c> form</c><00:12:05.720><c> or</c><00:12:06.019><c> to</c>

00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.960
produce,<00:12:06.879><c> hence</c><00:12:07.220><c> to</c><00:12:07.919><c> do.</c>

00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:14.080
It<00:12:09.620><c> expresses</c><00:12:10.080><c> an</c><00:12:10.600><c> action</c><00:12:11.059><c> as</c><00:12:11.679><c> continued</c><00:12:12.340><c> or</c><00:12:12.679><c> not</c><00:12:13.100><c> yet</c><00:12:13.580><c> completed.</c>

00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.019
So<00:12:14.320><c> if</c><00:12:14.399><c> you</c><00:12:14.440><c> look</c><00:12:14.580><c> up</c><00:12:14.759><c> the</c><00:12:14.960><c> Greek</c><00:12:15.120><c> grammar,</c><00:12:15.440><c> this</c><00:12:15.639><c> is</c><00:12:15.799><c> what</c><00:12:15.899><c> it</c>

00:12:16.019 --> 00:12:17.460
will<00:12:16.200><c> tell</c><00:12:16.399><c> you.</c>

00:12:17.700 --> 00:12:21.659
It<00:12:17.820><c> is</c><00:12:17.940><c> what</c><00:12:18.159><c> one</c><00:12:18.440><c> does</c><00:12:19.019><c> repeatedly</c><00:12:19.779><c> or</c><00:12:20.620><c> continually.</c>

00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.000
So<00:12:23.399><c> let's</c><00:12:23.740><c> just</c><00:12:24.080><c> reflect</c><00:12:24.399><c> on</c><00:12:24.620><c> that.</c>

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:28.419
If<00:12:26.080><c> you</c><00:12:26.320><c> are</c><00:12:26.659><c> equated</c><00:12:27.080><c> with</c><00:12:27.259><c> these</c><00:12:27.559><c> things,</c><00:12:27.879><c> and</c><00:12:27.940><c> he's</c><00:12:28.120><c> been</c>

00:12:28.419 --> 00:12:32.039

00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.519
You're<00:12:32.580><c> equated</c><00:12:32.740><c> with</c><00:12:32.919><c> these</c><00:12:33.159><c> things,</c><00:12:33.320><c> he</c><00:12:33.500><c> says.</c>

00:12:35.299 --> 00:12:37.919
Happy<00:12:35.820><c> are</c><00:12:36.279><c> ye</c><00:12:36.419><c> if</c><00:12:36.620><c> ye</c><00:12:37.179><c> do</c><00:12:37.500><c> them.</c>

00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:43.120
So<00:12:38.580><c> the</c><00:12:38.980><c> happiness</c><00:12:39.500><c> is</c><00:12:40.200><c> contingent</c><00:12:40.879><c> on</c><00:12:41.259><c> the</c><00:12:41.620><c> continued</c><00:12:42.480><c> doing</c>

00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:44.519
of<00:12:43.759><c> them.</c>

00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:47.980
If<00:12:44.899><c> you</c><00:12:45.240><c> don't</c><00:12:45.700><c> continue</c><00:12:46.299><c> to</c><00:12:46.559><c> do</c><00:12:46.740><c> them,</c><00:12:47.120><c> you're</c><00:12:47.360><c> not</c><00:12:47.620><c> going</c><00:12:47.820><c> to</c>

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:48.379
be<00:12:48.159><c> happy.</c>

00:12:48.700 --> 00:12:52.379
So<00:12:48.919><c> it</c><00:12:49.019><c> tells</c><00:12:49.340><c> us</c><00:12:49.539><c> something</c><00:12:49.799><c> about</c><00:12:50.200><c> the</c><00:12:50.460><c> use</c><00:12:50.639><c> of</c><00:12:50.879><c> this</c><00:12:51.159><c> term</c><00:12:51.539><c> makarios.</c>

00:12:52.379 --> 00:12:56.440
It's<00:12:53.320><c> not</c><00:12:53.580><c> a</c><00:12:54.120><c> passing</c><00:12:54.480><c> joy</c><00:12:54.879><c> where</c><00:12:55.200><c> you</c><00:12:55.279><c> get</c><00:12:55.460><c> a,</c><00:12:55.840><c> oh,</c><00:12:56.059><c> that</c><00:12:56.240><c> was</c>

terrific,<00:12:57.279><c> and</c><00:12:57.519><c> then</c><00:12:58.399><c> it</c><00:12:58.840><c> fades</c><00:12:59.139><c> away.</c>

00:13:00.700 --> 00:13:06.379
This<00:13:00.879><c> is</c><00:13:01.159><c> about</c><00:13:01.399><c> a</c><00:13:02.059><c> permanent</c><00:13:03.279><c> state</c><00:13:04.019><c> of</c><00:13:04.460><c> mind,</c><00:13:05.679><c> a</c><00:13:05.960><c> permanent</c>

00:13:09.700 --> 00:13:13.600

That's<00:18:48.640><c> not</c><00:18:48.779><c> what</c><00:18:48.819><c> he's</c><00:18:49.000><c> talking</c><00:18:49.259><c> about.</c>

00:18:50.059 --> 00:18:52.299
This<00:18:50.160><c> is</c><00:18:50.400><c> the</c><00:18:50.519><c> kind</c><00:18:50.700><c> of</c><00:18:50.940><c> depression</c><00:18:51.319><c> where</c><00:18:51.619><c> someone</c><00:18:51.940><c> has</c><00:18:52.180><c> said</c>

00:18:52.299 --> 00:18:52.720
to<00:18:52.460><c> themselves,</c>

00:18:53.099 --> 00:18:56.579
hey<00:18:53.099><c> listen,</c><00:18:54.000><c> fella,</c><00:18:55.380><c> you're</c><00:18:55.740><c> nuts.</c>

00:18:57.059 --> 00:19:00.119
You<00:18:57.259><c> need</c><00:18:57.460><c> to</c><00:18:57.740><c> start</c><00:18:58.000><c> listening</c><00:18:58.660><c> to</c><00:18:59.180><c> God.</c>

00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:02.359
This<00:19:00.539><c> is</c><00:19:00.799><c> not</c><00:19:00.940><c> about</c><00:19:01.240><c> what</c><00:19:01.579><c> you</c><00:19:01.940><c> can</c><00:19:02.220><c> do.</c>

00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:05.839
This<00:19:02.539><c> is</c><00:19:02.759><c> not</c><00:19:03.000><c> about</c><00:19:03.460><c> you</c><00:19:04.099><c> achieving</c><00:19:04.480><c> it</c><00:19:04.660><c> because</c><00:19:04.920><c> you</c><00:19:05.480><c> have</c>

00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:06.839
messed<00:19:06.160><c> it</c><00:19:06.420><c> up.</c>

00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:08.119
Got<00:19:07.220><c> that?</c>

00:19:08.500 --> 00:19:10.019
It's<00:19:08.740><c> about</c><00:19:08.960><c> listening</c><00:19:09.259><c> to</c><00:19:09.480><c> God.</c>

00:19:10.019 --> 00:19:14.119
It's<00:19:11.240><c> about</c><00:19:11.500><c> being</c><00:19:12.000><c> that</c><00:19:12.519><c> kind</c><00:19:12.839><c> of</c><00:19:13.059><c> depressed.</c>

00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:18.680
Having<00:19:14.420><c> no</c><00:19:15.400><c> confidence</c><00:19:16.119><c> in</c><00:19:17.240><c> your</c><00:19:17.640><c> ability.</c>

00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:22.000
That's<00:19:19.920><c> what</c><00:19:20.140><c> poverty</c><00:19:20.480><c> is</c><00:19:20.799><c> spirits</c><00:19:21.059><c> about.</c>

00:19:22.539 --> 00:19:28.359
And<00:19:22.660><c> God</c><00:19:22.839><c> says</c><00:19:23.420><c> I</c><00:19:24.900><c> live</c><00:19:25.420><c> in</c><00:19:26.019><c> the</c><00:19:26.279><c> high</c><00:19:26.720><c> and</c><00:19:27.099><c> holy</c><00:19:27.380><c> place</c><00:19:27.900><c> with</c>

00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:29.849
people<00:19:28.680><c> like</c><00:19:29.000><c> that.</c>

00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:32.019
Now<00:19:30.259><c> he</c><00:19:30.359><c> doesn't</c><00:19:30.559><c> come</c><00:19:30.759><c> down</c><00:19:31.039><c> here.</c>

00:19:32.980 --> 00:19:35.059
So<00:19:33.160><c> in</c><00:19:33.319><c> effect</c><00:19:33.500><c> he's</c><00:19:33.759><c> lifted</c><00:19:33.900><c> us</c><00:19:34.200><c> up.</c>

00:19:35.900 --> 00:19:37.400
You've<00:19:36.059><c> got</c><00:19:36.140><c> a</c><00:19:36.220><c> relationship</c><00:19:36.779><c> with</c><00:19:37.000><c> me.</c>

00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:38.920
You're<00:19:37.799><c> being</c><00:19:38.119><c> lifted</c><00:19:38.440><c> up.</c>

00:19:39.059 --> 00:19:44.980
But<00:19:39.200><c> you</c><00:19:39.359><c> can't</c><00:19:39.940><c> begin</c><00:19:40.559><c> to</c><00:19:40.779><c> be</c><00:19:40.920><c> lifted</c><00:19:41.200><c> up</c><00:19:41.839><c> until</c><00:19:42.279><c> you</c><00:19:42.619><c> are</c><00:19:43.160><c> crushed</c><00:19:43.680><c> and</c>

00:19:44.980 --> 00:19:47.960
maimed<00:19:46.359><c> in</c><00:19:46.539><c> your</c><00:19:46.779><c> own</c><00:19:47.059><c> spirit.</c>

00:19:48.579 --> 00:19:50.420
See<00:19:48.660><c> how</c><00:19:48.859><c> important</c><00:19:49.160><c> that</c><00:19:49.339><c> is?</c>

00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:54.759
You<00:19:51.940><c> know</c><00:19:52.099><c> when</c><00:19:52.240><c> you</c><00:19:52.519><c> read</c><00:19:52.720><c> this</c><00:19:53.000><c> context</c><00:19:53.519><c> it's</c><00:19:53.740><c> pretty</c><00:19:54.000><c> obvious</c><00:19:54.500><c> from</c>

00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:56.140
what<00:19:54.880><c> is</c><00:19:55.140><c> said.</c>

00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:00.460
He<00:19:56.700><c> goes</c><00:19:56.880><c> on</c><00:19:57.059><c> to</c><00:19:57.240><c> say</c><00:19:57.380><c> in</c><00:19:57.519><c> verse</c><00:19:57.680><c> 15</c><00:19:58.059><c> that</c><00:19:58.380><c> this</c><00:19:59.519><c> spirit</c><00:20:00.059><c> is</c><00:20:00.279><c> not</c>

00:20:00.460 --> 00:20:01.579

00:20:01.859 --> 00:20:03.180
He's<00:20:02.099><c> talking</c><00:20:02.220><c> about</c><00:20:02.339><c> his</c><00:20:02.539><c> own</c><00:20:02.740><c> people.</c>

00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:05.920
He<00:20:03.799><c> says</c><00:20:03.920><c> I'm</c><00:20:04.119><c> going</c><00:20:04.200><c> to</c><00:20:04.460><c> revive</c><00:20:04.799><c> the</c><00:20:05.140><c> spirit</c><00:20:05.279><c> of</c><00:20:05.440><c> the</c><00:20:05.640><c> humble.</c>

00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:11.779
The<00:20:08.539><c> word</c><00:20:08.839><c> contrite</c><00:20:09.519><c> means</c><00:20:10.380><c> to</c><00:20:10.859><c> crumble.</c>

00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:13.180
The<00:20:12.339><c> crumbling</c><00:20:12.779><c> ones.</c>

00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:15.119
For<00:20:13.619><c> I</c><00:20:13.759><c> will</c><00:20:13.980><c> not</c><00:20:14.220><c> contend</c><00:20:14.740><c> forever.</c>

00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:17.839
Neither<00:20:15.480><c> will</c><00:20:15.680><c> I</c><00:20:15.819><c> be</c><00:20:16.019><c> always</c><00:20:16.660><c> wroth</c><00:20:16.759><c> that</c><00:20:16.940><c> the</c><00:20:17.220><c> spirit</c><00:20:17.440><c> should</c>

00:20:21.619 --> 00:20:24.980
For<00:20:21.759><c> the</c><00:20:22.000><c> iniquity</c><00:20:22.359><c> of</c><00:20:22.460><c> his</c><00:20:22.720><c> covenance</c><00:20:23.140><c> was</c><00:20:23.339><c> I</c><00:20:23.599><c> wroth</c><00:20:23.960><c> and</c><00:20:24.339><c> spoke</c><00:20:24.700><c> to</c><00:20:24.859><c> him.</c>

00:20:25.059 --> 00:20:28.619
I<00:20:25.299><c> hit</c><00:20:25.480><c> me</c><00:20:25.720><c> and</c><00:20:25.819><c> was</c><00:20:26.119><c> wroth</c><00:20:26.539><c> and</c><00:20:26.740><c> he</c><00:20:26.920><c> went</c><00:20:27.079><c> on</c><00:20:27.559><c> throwedly</c><00:20:28.000><c> in</c><00:20:28.220><c> the</c><00:20:28.339><c> way</c><00:20:28.500><c> of</c>

00:20:28.619 --> 00:20:29.000
his<00:20:28.839><c> heart.</c>

00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:31.640
Which<00:20:29.220><c> of</c><00:20:29.380><c> course</c><00:20:29.559><c> is</c><00:20:29.799><c> common</c><00:20:30.059><c> amongst</c><00:20:30.420><c> human</c><00:20:30.720><c> beings.</c>

00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:34.380
That's<00:20:32.400><c> what</c><00:20:32.740><c> God's</c><00:20:33.220><c> people</c><00:20:33.720><c> were</c><00:20:34.039><c> doing.</c>

00:20:34.380 --> 00:20:38.319

00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:39.519
I've<00:20:38.859><c> seen</c><00:20:39.000><c> his</c><00:20:39.299><c> ways.</c>

00:20:39.579 --> 00:20:40.240

00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:41.500
And<00:20:40.599><c> will</c><00:20:40.839><c> heal</c><00:20:41.099><c> him.</c>

00:20:41.660 --> 00:20:45.000
I<00:20:41.859><c> will</c><00:20:42.059><c> lead</c><00:20:42.279><c> him</c><00:20:42.539><c> also</c><00:20:42.819><c> and</c><00:20:43.099><c> restore</c><00:20:43.519><c> comforts</c><00:20:44.119><c> unto</c><00:20:44.259><c> him</c><00:20:44.559><c> and</c><00:20:44.859><c> to</c>

his<00:20:45.299><c> mourners.</c>

00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:46.960
Mourners?

00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:47.900
Isn't<00:20:47.319><c> that</c><00:20:47.519><c> interesting?</c>

00:20:48.099 --> 00:20:49.720
What's<00:20:48.380><c> the</c><00:20:48.579><c> second</c><00:20:48.779><c> blessing?</c>

00:20:50.619 --> 00:20:52.960
Blessed<00:20:51.059><c> are</c><00:20:51.500><c> they</c><00:20:51.960><c> that</c><00:20:52.460><c> mourn.</c>

00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:55.259
And<00:20:53.339><c> we'll</c><00:20:53.460><c> talk</c><00:20:53.660><c> about</c><00:20:53.900><c> that</c><00:20:54.099><c> in</c><00:20:54.240><c> a</c><00:20:54.400><c> moment.</c>

00:20:55.480 --> 00:21:01.819
You<00:20:55.859><c> see</c><00:20:56.099><c> you're</c><00:20:56.299><c> not</c><00:20:56.559><c> going</c><00:20:56.880><c> to</c><00:20:57.079><c> mourn</c><00:20:57.680><c> in</c><00:20:57.900><c> the</c><00:20:58.059><c> way</c><00:20:58.619><c> that</c><00:20:58.980><c> Christ</c><00:20:59.319><c> means</c><00:21:00.180><c> unless</c><00:21:01.160><c> you</c>

00:21:01.819 --> 00:21:04.579

00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:08.019
It<00:21:05.319><c> just</c><00:21:06.059><c> doesn't</c><00:21:06.880><c> happen.</c>

00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:11.519
So<00:21:09.359><c> it's</c><00:21:09.599><c> critical</c><00:21:10.200><c> to</c><00:21:10.559><c> have</c><00:21:10.740><c> this</c><00:21:11.119><c> step.</c>

00:21:11.660 --> 00:21:13.140
Number<00:21:12.039><c> one.</c>

00:21:13.500 --> 00:21:18.000
We<00:21:13.640><c> don't</c><00:21:13.940><c> have</c><00:21:14.240><c> this</c><00:21:15.240><c> necessarily</c><00:21:16.299><c> from</c><00:21:17.000><c> the</c><00:21:17.259><c> beginning.</c>

00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:23.059

00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:08.859
That's<00:22:07.680><c> what</c><00:22:07.799><c> it's</c><00:22:08.099><c> about.</c>

00:22:09.740 --> 00:22:17.160
It's<00:22:09.940><c> the</c><00:22:09.980><c> beginning</c><00:22:10.380><c> of</c><00:22:11.039><c> a</c><00:22:11.359><c> breaking</c><00:22:11.680><c> and</c><00:22:12.440><c> softening</c><00:22:12.880><c> process</c><00:22:13.460><c> to</c><00:22:13.759><c> produce</c><00:22:14.319><c> meekness</c><00:22:15.240><c> and</c><00:22:15.980><c> teachableness.</c>

00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:25.000

00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:02.079
It's<00:24:01.059><c> the</c><00:24:01.180><c> Hebrew</c><00:24:01.440><c> word</c><00:24:01.720><c> naki.</c>

00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:04.099
It<00:24:02.420><c> means</c><00:24:02.720><c> smitten.</c>

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:06.119
Literally<00:24:05.559><c> maimed.</c>

00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:10.759
Now<00:24:06.440><c> if</c><00:24:06.539><c> you</c><00:24:07.000><c> maim</c><00:24:07.440><c> something</c><00:24:07.680><c> it's</c><00:24:07.859><c> a</c><00:24:07.940><c> little</c><00:24:08.039><c> bit</c><00:24:08.339><c> like</c><00:24:09.539><c> Mephibosheth,</c><00:24:10.299><c> isn't</c><00:24:10.480><c> it?</c>

00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:12.519
The<00:24:11.039><c> son</c><00:24:11.279><c> of</c><00:24:11.519><c> Jonathan.</c>

00:24:12.579 --> 00:24:14.119
He<00:24:12.579><c> was</c><00:24:12.880><c> lame</c><00:24:13.359><c> in</c><00:24:13.619><c> his</c><00:24:13.980><c> feet.</c>

00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:17.619
He'd<00:24:14.460><c> been</c><00:24:14.980><c> maimed</c><00:24:15.680><c> when</c><00:24:15.799><c> he</c><00:24:15.880><c> was</c><00:24:16.180><c> a</c><00:24:16.259><c> baby</c><00:24:16.559><c> being</c><00:24:16.920><c> carried</c><00:24:17.279><c> by</c>

00:24:17.619 --> 00:24:18.660
a<00:24:17.720><c> nurse</c><00:24:17.920><c> escaping.</c>

00:24:18.980 --> 00:24:20.359
Fell<00:24:19.140><c> over.</c>

00:24:20.380 --> 00:24:21.619
Maimed<00:24:20.980><c> for</c><00:24:21.240><c> life.</c>

00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:23.259
That's<00:24:22.140><c> the</c><00:24:22.259><c> idea</c><00:24:22.539><c> of</c><00:24:22.740><c> that</c><00:24:22.980><c> word.</c>

00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:26.859
It's<00:24:23.700><c> about</c><00:24:24.200><c> smiting</c><00:24:25.200><c> the</c><00:24:25.940><c> heart</c><00:24:26.180><c> of</c><00:24:26.460><c> man.</c>

00:24:27.180 --> 00:24:32.880
So<00:24:27.259><c> that</c><00:24:27.440><c> it's</c><00:24:27.900><c> maimed</c><00:24:28.940><c> permanently</c><00:24:29.599><c> from</c><00:24:30.539><c> its</c><00:24:30.839><c> own</c><00:24:31.279><c> self</c><00:24:31.700><c> interest.</c>

00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:35.559
That's<00:24:34.400><c> what</c><00:24:34.519><c> it</c><00:24:34.740><c> means.</c>

00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:38.619
And<00:24:37.000><c> then</c><00:24:37.099><c> he</c><00:24:37.220><c> goes</c><00:24:37.400><c> on</c><00:24:37.599><c> to</c><00:24:37.839><c> say.</c>

00:24:39.049 --> 00:24:41.940
And<00:24:39.460><c> trembleth</c><00:24:40.279><c> at</c><00:24:40.539><c> my</c><00:24:40.920><c> word.</c>

00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:44.619
This<00:24:42.480><c> word</c><00:24:42.759><c> trembleth</c><00:24:43.220><c> is</c><00:24:43.380><c> the</c><00:24:43.539><c> Hebrew</c><00:24:43.839><c> word</c><00:24:44.160><c> kared.</c>

00:24:44.819 --> 00:24:46.759
It<00:24:44.819><c> means</c><00:24:45.440><c> fearful.</c>

00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:48.539
From<00:24:47.599><c> the</c><00:24:47.799><c> root</c><00:24:47.960><c> kared.</c>

00:24:48.940 --> 00:24:51.000
To<00:24:49.440><c> shudder</c><00:24:50.119><c> with</c><00:24:50.539><c> terror.</c>

00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:52.700
Hence<00:24:51.400><c> to</c><00:24:51.819><c> fear.</c>

00:24:54.420 --> 00:24:57.259
Also<00:24:54.980><c> has</c><00:24:55.220><c> the</c><00:24:55.339><c> idea</c><00:24:55.700><c> of</c><00:24:56.019><c> hastening</c><00:24:56.480><c> with</c><00:24:56.680><c> anxiety.</c>

00:24:57.420 --> 00:25:02.119
So<00:24:57.559><c> this</c><00:24:57.700><c> is</c><00:24:57.880><c> about</c><00:24:58.079><c> the</c><00:24:58.539><c> spirit</c><00:24:58.779><c> that</c><00:24:58.960><c> is</c><00:24:59.220><c> created</c><00:24:59.680><c> by</c><00:25:00.200><c> maiming</c><00:25:01.660><c> the</c>

natural<00:25:02.660><c> human</c><00:25:03.259><c> will.</c>

00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:09.039
It's<00:25:04.859><c> about</c><00:25:05.119><c> the</c><00:25:05.319><c> spirit</c><00:25:05.799><c> that</c><00:25:06.660><c> shudders</c><00:25:07.460><c> at</c><00:25:07.660><c> God's</c><00:25:08.099><c> word.</c>

00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:09.640
When<00:25:09.119><c> it</c><00:25:09.240><c> reads.</c>

00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:10.660
It's<00:25:09.819><c> like</c><00:25:10.000><c> Josiah.</c>

00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:13.660
Remember<00:25:11.079><c> when</c><00:25:11.359><c> they</c><00:25:11.579><c> found</c><00:25:11.799><c> the</c><00:25:11.920><c> book</c><00:25:12.079><c> of</c><00:25:12.220><c> the</c><00:25:12.380><c> law</c><00:25:12.500><c> which</c><00:25:12.680><c> had</c><00:25:12.839><c> been</c><00:25:13.059><c> secreted</c><00:25:13.480><c> in</c>

00:25:13.660 --> 00:25:14.779
the<00:25:13.880><c> corner</c><00:25:14.140><c> of</c><00:25:14.339><c> the</c><00:25:14.460><c> temple.</c>

00:25:15.059 --> 00:25:17.779
The<00:25:15.180><c> only</c><00:25:15.519><c> copy</c><00:25:15.839><c> of</c><00:25:16.019><c> the</c><00:25:16.119><c> book</c><00:25:16.279><c> of</c><00:25:16.480><c> the</c><00:25:16.599><c> law</c><00:25:16.839><c> that</c><00:25:17.099><c> was</c><00:25:17.339><c> left</c><00:25:17.599><c> in</c>

00:25:17.779 --> 00:25:19.779

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.440
And<00:25:20.079><c> Hilkiah</c><00:25:20.940><c> the</c><00:25:21.119><c> high</c><00:25:21.480><c> priest</c><00:25:21.799><c> finds</c><00:25:22.200><c> this.</c>

00:25:22.539 --> 00:25:24.140
He<00:25:22.599><c> gives</c><00:25:22.819><c> it</c><00:25:23.000><c> to</c><00:25:23.220><c> Shephan</c><00:25:23.539><c> the</c><00:25:23.799><c> scribe.</c>

00:25:24.339 --> 00:25:26.099
And<00:25:24.539><c> Shephan</c><00:25:24.900><c> comes</c><00:25:25.200><c> and</c><00:25:25.359><c> he</c><00:25:25.579><c> reads</c><00:25:25.779><c> the</c><00:25:25.980><c> book.</c>

00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:30.099
Some<00:25:26.400><c> people</c><00:25:26.660><c> think</c><00:25:27.000><c> he</c><00:25:27.200><c> only</c><00:25:27.380><c> read</c><00:25:27.500><c> Leviticus</c><00:25:27.880><c> 26</c><00:25:28.400><c> and</c><00:25:28.579><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:25:28.819><c> 28.</c>

00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:31.359
Rubbish.

00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:35.619
He<00:25:32.619><c> read</c><00:25:33.140><c> from</c><00:25:33.779><c> the</c><00:25:34.059><c> whole</c><00:25:34.400><c> law.</c>

00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:47.759
Being<00:25:47.380><c> read.</c>

00:25:48.099 --> 00:25:49.180
He<00:25:48.380><c> shuddered.</c>

00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:51.180
He<00:25:49.880><c> read</c><00:25:50.019><c> his</c><00:25:50.339><c> covenant.</c>

00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:53.660

00:25:53.740 --> 00:25:56.460
Asking<00:25:54.220><c> about</c><00:25:54.460><c> the</c><00:25:54.619><c> destiny</c><00:25:55.000><c> of</c><00:25:55.160><c> his</c><00:25:55.339><c> people.</c>

00:25:59.500 --> 00:25:59.980
Trembling.

00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:01.619
At<00:26:00.480><c> my</c><00:26:00.779><c> word.</c>

00:26:02.019 --> 00:26:04.359
You<00:26:02.039><c> know</c><00:26:02.119><c> what</c><00:26:02.279><c> Yahweh</c><00:26:02.539><c> said</c><00:26:02.740><c> to</c><00:26:02.859><c> him</c><00:26:03.039><c> through</c><00:26:03.299><c> Holder.</c>

00:26:04.460 --> 00:26:06.920
Because<00:26:04.680><c> thine</c><00:26:05.000><c> heart</c><00:26:05.440><c> was</c><00:26:05.779><c> tender.</c>

00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:09.599
And<00:26:07.759><c> how</c><00:26:08.000><c> trembled</c><00:26:08.579><c> my</c><00:26:08.960><c> word.</c>

And<00:26:10.200><c> wept.</c>

00:26:11.859 --> 00:26:12.779
This<00:26:12.039><c> is</c><00:26:12.140><c> what</c><00:26:12.240><c> I'm</c><00:26:12.359><c> going</c><00:26:12.460><c> to</c><00:26:12.579><c> do.</c>

00:26:13.140 --> 00:26:14.079

00:26:16.940 --> 00:26:19.180
That's<00:26:17.079><c> what</c><00:26:17.200><c> Isaiah</c><00:26:17.460><c> 57</c><00:26:17.980><c> verse</c><00:26:18.240><c> 1</c><00:26:18.480><c> and</c><00:26:18.640><c> 2</c><00:26:18.819><c> says.</c>

So<00:26:32.500><c> he</c><00:26:32.640><c> won't</c><00:26:33.180><c> see.</c>

00:26:34.339 --> 00:26:35.880
Things<00:26:34.720><c> that</c><00:26:34.880><c> are</c><00:26:34.960><c> going</c><00:26:35.039><c> to</c><00:26:35.200><c> come</c><00:26:35.339><c> on.</c>

00:26:36.259 --> 00:26:37.259
His<00:26:36.259><c> people.</c>

00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:39.000
Okay.

00:26:39.019 --> 00:26:41.000
That's<00:26:39.579><c> trembling</c><00:26:39.900><c> at</c><00:26:40.359><c> God's</c><00:26:40.799><c> word.</c>

00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:43.079
That's<00:26:41.920><c> a</c><00:26:42.240><c> smitten</c><00:26:42.680><c> spirit.</c>

00:26:43.420 --> 00:26:46.380
That's<00:26:43.980><c> poverty</c><00:26:44.519><c> of</c><00:26:45.460><c> spirit.</c>

00:26:46.660 --> 00:26:49.180
And<00:26:46.920><c> you</c><00:26:47.160><c> don't</c><00:26:47.480><c> even</c><00:26:48.400><c> start.</c>

00:26:49.259 --> 00:26:51.259
To<00:26:49.720><c> build</c><00:26:49.920><c> this</c><00:26:50.240><c> character.</c>

00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:53.539
Without<00:26:52.480><c> that.</c>

00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:56.059
Characteristic.

00:26:56.380 --> 00:26:57.940
Blessed<00:26:56.619><c> are</c><00:26:56.940><c> they</c><00:26:57.099><c> that</c><00:26:57.359><c> mourn.</c>

00:26:58.259 --> 00:26:59.539
He<00:26:58.259><c> says</c><00:26:58.460><c> in</c><00:26:58.740><c> the</c><00:26:58.880><c> next</c><00:26:59.200><c> blessing.</c>

00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:00.859
Number<00:26:59.960><c> 2.</c>

00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:02.960
For<00:27:01.240><c> they</c><00:27:01.660><c> shall</c><00:27:01.940><c> be</c><00:27:02.359><c> comforted.</c>

00:27:03.099 --> 00:27:04.279
Now<00:27:03.160><c> while</c><00:27:03.279><c> we're</c><00:27:03.440><c> back</c><00:27:03.640><c> here</c><00:27:03.839><c> in</c><00:27:04.000><c> Isaiah.</c>

00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:06.920
Let's<00:27:04.519><c> come</c><00:27:04.720><c> to</c><00:27:04.839><c> chapter</c><00:27:05.099><c> 61.</c>

00:27:08.700 --> 00:27:10.319
Isaiah<00:27:09.259><c> 61.</c>

00:27:11.420 --> 00:27:13.339
Verses<00:27:11.720><c> 1</c><00:27:11.980><c> to</c><00:27:12.140><c> 3.</c>

00:27:14.339 --> 00:27:17.420
Because<00:27:14.500><c> this</c><00:27:14.720><c> is</c><00:27:14.920><c> actually</c><00:27:15.279><c> about</c><00:27:15.660><c> the</c><00:27:16.180><c> consequence.</c>

00:27:17.579 --> 00:27:19.819
Of<00:27:17.819><c> being</c><00:27:18.339><c> maimed</c><00:27:19.079><c> in</c><00:27:19.359><c> the</c><00:27:19.640><c> spirit.</c>

00:27:19.819 --> 00:27:21.759
It's<00:27:20.119><c> the</c><00:27:20.400><c> natural</c><00:27:21.079><c> outcome.</c>

00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:24.200
Of<00:27:22.160><c> a</c><00:27:22.480><c> crushed</c><00:27:22.819><c> spirit.</c>

00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:25.759
So<00:27:24.619><c> what</c><00:27:24.819><c> happens.</c>

00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:28.000
When<00:27:26.160><c> you</c><00:27:26.420><c> displace</c><00:27:26.980><c> self.</c>

00:27:28.059 --> 00:27:29.400
And<00:27:28.220><c> the</c><00:27:28.339><c> word</c><00:27:28.539><c> of</c><00:27:28.740><c> God</c><00:27:28.880><c> comes</c><00:27:29.200><c> in.</c>

00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:30.700
And<00:27:29.539><c> you</c><00:27:29.980><c> tremble</c><00:27:30.400><c> at</c><00:27:30.539><c> it.</c>

00:27:30.779 --> 00:27:32.619
I'll<00:27:30.960><c> tell</c><00:27:31.019><c> you</c><00:27:31.099><c> what</c><00:27:31.220><c> happens</c><00:27:31.480><c> to</c><00:27:31.779><c> me.</c>

00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:35.000
I<00:27:33.339><c> don't</c><00:27:33.859><c> know</c><00:27:34.319><c> what</c><00:27:34.519><c> happens</c><00:27:34.799><c> to</c><00:27:34.940><c> you.</c>

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:36.319
But<00:27:35.099><c> I've</c><00:27:35.259><c> got</c><00:27:35.339><c> a</c><00:27:35.559><c> pretty</c><00:27:35.759><c> fair</c><00:27:36.000><c> idea.</c>

00:27:36.339 --> 00:27:38.759
Because<00:27:36.460><c> this</c><00:27:36.680><c> is</c><00:27:36.900><c> what</c><00:27:37.140><c> happens</c><00:27:37.559><c> to</c><00:27:37.920><c> me.</c>

00:27:39.420 --> 00:27:41.980
When<00:27:39.599><c> the</c><00:27:39.779><c> word</c><00:27:39.920><c> of</c><00:27:40.140><c> God</c><00:27:40.440><c> has</c><00:27:40.779><c> an</c><00:27:41.019><c> impact</c><00:27:41.400><c> upon</c><00:27:41.680><c> me.</c>

00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:43.220
Brothers<00:27:42.200><c> and</c><00:27:42.279><c> sisters.</c>

00:27:43.460 --> 00:27:44.460
This<00:27:43.619><c> is</c><00:27:43.740><c> what</c><00:27:43.839><c> it</c><00:27:44.079><c> tells</c><00:27:44.279><c> me.</c>

00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:46.180
It<00:27:44.779><c> tells</c><00:27:45.000><c> me</c><00:27:45.259><c> what's</c><00:27:45.619><c> in</c><00:27:45.859><c> man.</c>

00:27:46.180 --> 00:27:49.599
It<00:27:47.019><c> reveals</c><00:27:47.579><c> to</c><00:27:47.900><c> me</c><00:27:48.200><c> my</c><00:27:48.640><c> natural</c><00:27:49.119><c> way.</c>

00:27:50.099 --> 00:27:54.759
It<00:27:50.160><c> tells</c><00:27:50.579><c> me</c><00:27:51.160><c> about</c><00:27:51.660><c> the</c><00:27:51.920><c> way</c><00:27:52.160><c> I'm</c><00:27:52.500><c> going</c><00:27:52.779><c> to</c><00:27:53.220><c> naturally</c><00:27:53.759><c> think.</c>

00:27:54.859 --> 00:27:58.259
It<00:27:55.000><c> tells</c><00:27:55.299><c> me</c><00:27:55.559><c> that</c><00:27:55.779><c> what</c><00:27:55.940><c> I</c><00:27:56.400><c> naturally</c><00:27:56.960><c> do.</c>

00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:01.480
Is<00:27:59.299><c> going</c><00:27:59.519><c> to</c><00:27:59.660><c> doom</c><00:27:59.880><c> me.</c>

00:28:01.859 --> 00:28:03.299
Unless<00:28:02.099><c> I'm</c><00:28:02.480><c> forgiven.</c>

00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:06.319
It<00:28:04.480><c> creates</c><00:28:05.000><c> in</c><00:28:05.180><c> me</c><00:28:05.460><c> an</c><00:28:05.519><c> understanding.</c>

00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:07.779
An<00:28:06.779><c> acknowledgement.</c>

00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:08.859
Of<00:28:08.099><c> the</c><00:28:08.460><c> frailty.</c>

00:28:09.140 --> 00:28:09.640
The<00:28:09.279><c> weakness.</c>

00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:11.059
The<00:28:09.980><c> stupidity.</c>

00:28:11.339 --> 00:28:12.519
Of<00:28:11.599><c> man.</c>

00:28:13.299 --> 00:28:14.660
Is<00:28:13.400><c> that</c><00:28:13.480><c> your</c><00:28:13.640><c> experience?</c>

00:28:15.140 --> 00:28:17.839
So<00:28:15.619><c> what's</c><00:28:15.900><c> the</c><00:28:16.019><c> natural</c><00:28:16.359><c> consequence</c><00:28:16.900><c> of</c><00:28:17.500><c> that?</c>

00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:19.200
Well<00:28:18.460><c> you</c><00:28:18.619><c> mourn.</c>

00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:19.740
Aren't<00:28:19.440><c> you?</c>

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:20.480
You<00:28:20.200><c> mourn.</c>

00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:22.240
You<00:28:20.680><c> mourn</c><00:28:20.960><c> about</c><00:28:21.220><c> man's</c><00:28:21.759><c> present</c><00:28:21.980><c> state.</c>

00:28:22.420 --> 00:28:24.240
You<00:28:22.640><c> mourn</c><00:28:22.880><c> about</c><00:28:23.160><c> the</c><00:28:23.299><c> evils</c><00:28:23.559><c> of</c><00:28:23.720><c> the</c><00:28:23.900><c> world.</c>

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:25.160
That<00:28:24.480><c> are</c><00:28:24.640><c> going</c><00:28:24.819><c> on.</c>

00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:28.339
You<00:28:25.819><c> mourn</c><00:28:26.200><c> about</c><00:28:26.440><c> the</c><00:28:26.819><c> status</c><00:28:27.160><c> of</c><00:28:27.480><c> Zion.</c>

00:28:28.460 --> 00:28:29.920
And<00:28:28.640><c> the</c><00:28:28.799><c> things</c><00:28:29.000><c> that</c><00:28:29.220><c> belong</c><00:28:29.380><c> to</c><00:28:29.559><c> Israel.</c>

00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:31.180
You<00:28:30.279><c> mourn.</c>

00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:32.799
That<00:28:31.400><c> the</c><00:28:31.599><c> covenants</c><00:28:31.940><c> made</c><00:28:32.140><c> of</c><00:28:32.259><c> the</c><00:28:32.480><c> fathers.</c>

00:28:32.900 --> 00:28:35.099
Have<00:28:33.180><c> not</c><00:28:33.460><c> been</c><00:28:33.740><c> fulfilled</c><00:28:34.160><c> yet.</c>

00:28:35.660 --> 00:28:37.940
There's<00:28:35.900><c> a</c><00:28:36.140><c> state</c><00:28:36.299><c> of</c><00:28:36.660><c> mourning</c><00:28:36.980><c> there.</c>

00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:40.119
Now<00:28:38.220><c> this</c><00:28:38.299><c> doesn't</c><00:28:38.539><c> mean</c><00:28:38.720><c> you</c><00:28:38.839><c> go</c><00:28:39.039><c> around</c><00:28:39.180><c> with</c><00:28:39.339><c> a</c><00:28:39.440><c> long</c><00:28:39.619><c> face.</c>

00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:43.039
It<00:28:40.539><c> doesn't</c><00:28:40.640><c> mean</c><00:28:40.839><c> that</c><00:28:41.440><c> you're</c><00:28:42.460><c> mourning.</c>

00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:44.779
Not<00:28:43.940><c> about</c><00:28:44.220><c> that.</c>

00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:47.259
It's<00:28:45.400><c> about</c><00:28:45.519><c> what's</c><00:28:45.779><c> going</c><00:28:45.940><c> on</c><00:28:46.059><c> up</c><00:28:46.240><c> here.</c>

00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:51.019
It's<00:28:48.960><c> the</c><00:28:49.220><c> natural</c><00:28:49.799><c> consequence.</c>

00:28:51.339 --> 00:28:52.880
Of<00:28:51.339><c> a</c><00:28:51.579><c> crushed</c><00:28:51.880><c> spirit.</c>

00:28:52.980 --> 00:28:56.019
A<00:28:53.059><c> longing</c><00:28:53.359><c> for</c><00:28:53.759><c> the</c><00:28:53.980><c> divine</c><00:28:54.299><c> will</c><00:28:54.519><c> to</c><00:28:54.700><c> be</c><00:28:54.839><c> vindicated.</c>

00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:58.319
In<00:28:56.880><c> all</c><00:28:57.119><c> the</c><00:28:57.339><c> earth.</c>

00:28:58.700 --> 00:29:00.740
Consciousness<00:28:59.059><c> of</c><00:28:59.220><c> our</c><00:28:59.500><c> own</c><00:28:59.900><c> sin</c><00:29:00.160><c> and</c><00:29:00.400><c> tendencies.</c>

00:29:00.859 --> 00:29:04.059
Causes<00:29:01.259><c> a</c><00:29:01.579><c> desire</c><00:29:01.880><c> for</c><00:29:02.119><c> the</c><00:29:02.279><c> redemption</c><00:29:02.839><c> of</c><00:29:03.079><c> the</c><00:29:03.220><c> body.</c>

00:29:04.940 --> 00:29:06.579
You<00:29:05.000><c> know</c><00:29:05.119><c> what</c><00:29:05.279><c> Paul</c><00:29:05.500><c> says</c><00:29:05.740><c> in</c><00:29:05.880><c> Romans</c><00:29:06.160><c> 8?</c>

00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:09.680
The<00:29:07.119><c> whole</c><00:29:07.440><c> creation</c><00:29:08.240><c> groans.</c>

00:29:10.339 --> 00:29:10.940
Growning.

00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:11.859
You're<00:29:11.700><c> groaning?</c>

00:29:11.859 --> 00:29:13.259
I<00:29:12.799><c> am.</c>

00:29:13.259 --> 00:29:14.299
I'm<00:29:13.960><c> groaning.</c>

00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:19.079
I<00:29:14.559><c> can't</c><00:29:15.039><c> wait</c><00:29:15.500><c> for</c><00:29:16.200><c> this</c><00:29:16.500><c> body</c><00:29:16.980><c> to</c><00:29:17.599><c> be</c><00:29:17.900><c> changed.</c>

00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:23.359
Can't<00:29:20.839><c> come</c><00:29:21.380><c> soon</c><00:29:21.720><c> enough</c><00:29:22.119><c> for</c><00:29:22.500><c> me.</c>

00:29:24.059 --> 00:29:27.240
The<00:29:24.259><c> whole</c><00:29:24.539><c> creation</c><00:29:25.079><c> says,</c><00:29:25.500><c> Paul,</c><00:29:26.319><c> groaning.</c>

00:29:27.660 --> 00:29:32.140
Waiting<00:29:28.180><c> for</c><00:29:29.259><c> the</c><00:29:29.500><c> redemption</c><00:29:30.099><c> of</c><00:29:31.079><c> our</c><00:29:31.299><c> body.</c>

00:29:32.700 --> 00:29:34.240
That's<00:29:32.980><c> what</c><00:29:33.059><c> that's</c><00:29:33.400><c> about.</c>

00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:38.140
And<00:29:34.920><c> Isaiah</c><00:29:35.279><c> 61</c><00:29:35.839><c> verses</c><00:29:36.380><c> 1</c><00:29:36.720><c> to</c><00:29:36.839><c> 3</c><00:29:37.099><c> is</c><00:29:37.299><c> the</c><00:29:37.500><c> basis</c><00:29:37.799><c> of</c><00:29:38.019><c> the</c>

00:29:38.140 --> 00:29:38.940
Lord's<00:29:38.519><c> words.</c>

00:29:38.940 --> 00:29:42.400
Blessed<00:29:39.819><c> are</c><00:29:40.160><c> they</c><00:29:40.740><c> that</c><00:29:41.119><c> mourn.</c>

00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:44.380
Let's<00:29:42.940><c> read</c><00:29:43.180><c> that</c><00:29:43.400><c> passage.</c>

00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.779
The<00:29:45.279><c> spirit</c><00:29:45.720><c> of</c><00:29:45.940><c> the</c><00:29:46.059><c> Lord</c><00:29:46.279><c> Yahweh</c><00:29:46.799><c> is</c><00:29:47.079><c> upon</c><00:29:47.400><c> me.</c>

00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:55.240
Because<00:29:49.019><c> Yahweh</c><00:29:49.579><c> hath</c><00:29:49.880><c> anointed</c><00:29:50.339><c> me</c><00:29:50.960><c> to</c><00:29:51.420><c> preach</c><00:29:51.880><c> good</c><00:29:52.660><c> tidings</c><00:29:53.819><c> unto</c>

00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:56.019
the<00:29:55.519><c> meek.</c>

00:29:56.519 --> 00:29:57.579
Interesting.

00:29:57.759 --> 00:29:58.819
That's<00:29:57.960><c> going</c><00:29:58.099><c> to</c><00:29:58.180><c> come</c><00:29:58.339><c> up,</c><00:29:58.599><c> isn't</c><00:29:58.700><c> it?</c>

00:29:58.980 --> 00:30:01.839
He<00:29:59.240><c> has</c><00:29:59.500><c> sent</c><00:29:59.660><c> me</c><00:29:59.980><c> to</c><00:30:00.279><c> bind</c><00:30:00.500><c> up</c><00:30:00.700><c> the</c><00:30:00.900><c> broken</c><00:30:01.259><c> hearted.</c>

To<00:30:04.900><c> them</c><00:30:05.119><c> that</c><00:30:05.319><c> are</c><00:30:05.619><c> bound.</c>

00:30:10.779 --> 00:30:12.720
of<00:30:11.000><c> vengeance</c><00:30:11.319><c> of</c><00:30:11.559><c> our</c><00:30:11.779><c> God.</c>

00:30:13.180 --> 00:30:16.279
To<00:30:13.180><c> comfort</c><00:30:13.839><c> all</c><00:30:15.279><c> that</c><00:30:15.720><c> mourn.</c>

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:18.480
So<00:30:16.460><c> what</c><00:30:16.680><c> kind</c><00:30:16.980><c> of</c><00:30:17.220><c> mourning</c><00:30:17.559><c> is</c><00:30:17.980><c> there</c><00:30:18.240><c> here?</c>

00:30:18.660 --> 00:30:20.359
Let's<00:30:18.880><c> read</c><00:30:19.059><c> the</c><00:30:19.220><c> next</c><00:30:19.460><c> verse.</c>

00:30:20.420 --> 00:30:24.440
To<00:30:20.420><c> appoint</c><00:30:20.940><c> unto</c><00:30:21.339><c> them</c><00:30:21.700><c> that</c><00:30:22.319><c> mourn</c><00:30:23.039><c> in</c><00:30:23.480><c> Zion.</c>

00:30:24.740 --> 00:30:27.759
To<00:30:24.799><c> give</c><00:30:25.039><c> unto</c><00:30:25.299><c> them</c><00:30:25.680><c> beauty</c><00:30:26.440><c> for</c><00:30:26.859><c> ashes.</c>

00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:31.059
The<00:30:28.140><c> oil</c><00:30:28.559><c> of</c><00:30:29.140><c> joy</c><00:30:29.660><c> for</c><00:30:30.099><c> mourning.</c>

00:30:31.220 --> 00:30:35.259
The<00:30:31.460><c> garment</c><00:30:31.720><c> of</c><00:30:32.220><c> praise</c><00:30:32.720><c> for</c><00:30:33.039><c> the</c><00:30:33.359><c> spirit</c><00:30:34.180><c> of</c><00:30:34.779><c> heaviness.</c>

00:30:35.259 --> 00:30:39.420
Do<00:30:35.559><c> you</c><00:30:35.720><c> know</c><00:30:35.980><c> something</c><00:30:36.579><c> about</c><00:30:36.960><c> a</c><00:30:37.319><c> spirit</c><00:30:37.740><c> of</c><00:30:38.200><c> heaviness?</c>

00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:46.539
Well<00:30:42.519><c> if</c><00:30:42.599><c> you</c><00:30:42.839><c> don't,</c><00:30:44.180><c> you</c><00:30:44.619><c> need</c><00:30:44.880><c> to</c><00:30:44.900><c> think</c><00:30:45.119><c> again.</c>

00:30:46.619 --> 00:30:50.119
Because<00:30:46.779><c> this</c><00:30:47.140><c> is</c><00:30:47.380><c> the</c><00:30:47.579><c> character</c><00:30:48.079><c> that</c><00:30:48.279><c> has</c><00:30:48.519><c> to</c><00:30:48.660><c> be</c><00:30:48.859><c> developed.</c>

00:30:51.339 --> 00:30:54.460
It's<00:30:51.420><c> about</c><00:30:52.240><c> knowing</c><00:30:52.759><c> what</c><00:30:52.980><c> is</c><00:30:53.200><c> in</c><00:30:53.420><c> man.</c>

00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:58.279
Seeing<00:30:55.079><c> the</c><00:30:55.460><c> world</c><00:30:55.720><c> for</c><00:30:55.920><c> what</c><00:30:56.039><c> it</c><00:30:56.200><c> really</c><00:30:56.819><c> is.</c>

00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:03.440
And<00:30:58.920><c> yearning,</c><00:31:00.059><c> mourning</c><00:31:00.500><c> for</c><00:31:00.799><c> the</c><00:31:00.940><c> day</c><00:31:01.500><c> when</c><00:31:01.759><c> it</c><00:31:01.839><c> will</c><00:31:02.039><c> all</c><00:31:02.319><c> change.</c>

00:31:04.180 --> 00:31:06.299
Spirit<00:31:04.859><c> of</c><00:31:05.539><c> heaviness.</c>

00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:08.660
That's<00:31:06.960><c> the</c><00:31:07.099><c> kind</c><00:31:07.240><c> of</c><00:31:07.460><c> mourning</c><00:31:07.660><c> he's</c><00:31:07.880><c> talking</c><00:31:08.220><c> about.</c>

00:31:09.099 --> 00:31:11.700
That<00:31:09.200><c> they</c><00:31:09.380><c> might</c><00:31:09.599><c> be</c><00:31:09.940><c> called</c><00:31:10.279><c> in</c><00:31:10.900><c> the</c><00:31:11.119><c> aftermath.</c>

00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:13.319
Trees<00:31:12.420><c> of</c><00:31:12.759><c> righteousness.</c>

00:31:13.740 --> 00:31:15.720
The<00:31:14.119><c> planting</c><00:31:14.500><c> of</c><00:31:14.799><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:19.640
That<00:31:16.200><c> he</c><00:31:16.980><c> might</c><00:31:17.519><c> be</c><00:31:18.480><c> glorified.</c>

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:22.920
So<00:31:20.440><c> this,</c><00:31:20.819><c> brethren</c><00:31:20.880><c> and</c><00:31:21.000><c> sisters,</c><00:31:21.259><c> is</c><00:31:21.500><c> the</c><00:31:21.740><c> second</c><00:31:22.039><c> step.</c>

00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:25.400
It's<00:31:23.599><c> not</c><00:31:24.019><c> sullenness.</c>

00:31:25.859 --> 00:31:28.180
It's<00:31:26.160><c> not</c><00:31:26.539><c> overt</c><00:31:26.940><c> grief.</c>

00:31:29.539 --> 00:31:31.819
It<00:31:29.759><c> is</c><00:31:30.000><c> a</c><00:31:30.140><c> desire</c><00:31:30.440><c> for</c><00:31:30.680><c> change.</c>

00:31:32.500 --> 00:31:35.819
A<00:31:33.019><c> desire</c><00:31:33.440><c> to</c><00:31:33.660><c> be</c><00:31:33.839><c> rid</c><00:31:34.240><c> of</c><00:31:34.579><c> the</c><00:31:34.720><c> problem.</c>

00:31:36.579 --> 00:31:38.259
That<00:31:36.799><c> kind</c><00:31:37.099><c> of</c><00:31:37.299><c> mourning.</c>

00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:41.819
What<00:31:40.160><c> comes</c><00:31:40.420><c> next?</c>

00:31:42.779 --> 00:31:45.859
Blessed<00:31:43.039><c> are</c><00:31:43.259><c> the</c><00:31:43.500><c> meat,</c><00:31:43.960><c> for</c><00:31:44.059><c> they</c><00:31:44.319><c> shall</c><00:31:44.440><c> inherit</c><00:31:44.920><c> the</c><00:31:45.180><c> earth,</c><00:31:45.420><c> he</c><00:31:45.599><c> says.</c>

00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:49.900
Now<00:31:46.200><c> we</c><00:31:46.220><c> know</c><00:31:46.359><c> that</c><00:31:46.500><c> comes</c><00:31:46.799><c> straight</c><00:31:47.220><c> from</c><00:31:47.519><c> Psalm</c><00:31:47.880><c> 37</c><00:31:48.680><c> verse</c><00:31:49.440><c> 11.</c>

00:31:50.339 --> 00:31:52.319
We<00:31:50.420><c> probably</c><00:31:50.619><c> don't</c><00:31:50.799><c> even</c><00:31:51.059><c> need</c><00:31:51.259><c> to</c><00:31:51.420><c> go</c><00:31:51.680><c> back</c><00:31:51.940><c> there.</c>

00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:55.019
He's<00:31:53.180><c> quoting</c><00:31:53.599><c> Psalm</c><00:31:54.119><c> 37</c><00:31:54.700><c> verse</c><00:31:54.900><c> 11.</c>

00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:59.180
He's<00:31:55.400><c> picking</c><00:31:55.640><c> up</c><00:31:55.900><c> the</c><00:31:56.059><c> ideas</c><00:31:56.400><c> of</c><00:31:56.640><c> Psalm</c><00:31:56.920><c> 25</c><00:31:57.680><c> verses</c><00:31:58.039><c> 9</c><00:31:58.559><c> to</c><00:31:58.740><c> 14.</c>

00:31:59.180 --> 00:32:04.619
Where<00:31:59.480><c> it</c><00:31:59.839><c> continually</c><00:32:00.420><c> repeats</c><00:32:01.200><c> that</c><00:32:01.539><c> the</c><00:32:01.819><c> meek</c><00:32:02.259><c> shall</c><00:32:02.559><c> inherit</c><00:32:03.119><c> the</c><00:32:03.400><c> earth.</c>

00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:09.240
Blessed<00:32:05.180><c> are</c><00:32:05.440><c> the</c><00:32:05.599><c> meek,</c><00:32:06.359><c> for</c><00:32:06.500><c> they</c><00:32:06.640><c> shall</c><00:32:06.839><c> inherit</c><00:32:07.599><c> the</c><00:32:08.000><c> earth,</c><00:32:08.619><c> he</c><00:32:08.819><c> says.</c>

00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:11.559

00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:48.059
So<00:42:42.340><c> this</c><00:42:42.980><c> mercy</c><00:42:43.579><c> is</c><00:42:44.500><c> expanded</c><00:42:45.159><c> by</c><00:42:45.539><c> this</c><00:42:45.860><c> phrase,</c><00:42:47.159><c> the</c><00:42:47.400><c> knowledge</c><00:42:47.739><c> of</c><00:42:47.960><c> God.</c>

00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:49.780
That's<00:42:48.300><c> what</c><00:42:48.380><c> He</c><00:42:48.579><c> means</c><00:42:49.079><c> by</c><00:42:49.420><c> mercy.</c>

00:42:50.019 --> 00:42:52.320
It's<00:42:50.199><c> the</c><00:42:50.519><c> knowledge</c><00:42:51.019><c> of</c><00:42:51.340><c> God.</c>

00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:09.900
So<00:43:04.679><c> this</c><00:43:04.980><c> mercy</c><00:43:05.460><c> is</c><00:43:06.059><c> very</c><00:43:06.300><c> important</c><00:43:06.780><c> because</c><00:43:06.960><c> it's</c><00:43:07.280><c> about</c><00:43:08.139><c> the</c><00:43:08.719><c> knowledge</c><00:43:09.219><c> of</c><00:43:09.619><c> God.</c>

00:43:31.460 --> 00:43:35.780
It's<00:43:31.579><c> talking</c><00:43:31.780><c> about</c><00:43:32.039><c> His</c><00:43:32.360><c> compassion,</c><00:43:33.780><c> His</c><00:43:34.300><c> ability</c><00:43:34.800><c> to</c>

00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:47.179
That's<00:43:43.280><c> rendered</c><00:43:43.760><c> consistently</c><00:43:44.760><c> by</c><00:43:45.119><c> Rotherham</c><00:43:45.639><c> in</c><00:43:45.820><c> his</c><00:43:46.119><c> translation,</c>

00:43:49.239 --> 00:43:52.159
It's<00:43:49.400><c> this</c><00:43:49.619><c> wonderful</c><00:43:50.159><c> divine</c><00:43:50.760><c> characteristic.</c>

00:43:52.260 --> 00:43:56.199

00:43:56.199 --> 00:43:58.920
I<00:43:56.539><c> want</c><00:43:56.679><c> you</c><00:43:56.780><c> to</c><00:43:56.920><c> notice</c><00:43:57.099><c> the</c><00:43:57.340><c> context</c><00:43:57.800><c> in</c><00:43:58.019><c> which</c><00:43:58.139><c> it's</c><00:43:58.360><c> found</c>

00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:01.039
in<00:43:59.380><c> Hosea.</c>

00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:03.579
It<00:44:01.380><c> is</c><00:44:01.619><c> linked</c><00:44:01.960><c> to</c><00:44:02.219><c> the</c><00:44:02.480><c> covenant</c><00:44:02.760><c> in</c><00:44:03.059><c> verse</c><00:44:03.300><c> 7.</c>

00:44:03.659 --> 00:44:05.699
Let's<00:44:03.780><c> read</c><00:44:04.019><c> verse</c><00:44:04.280><c> 7.</c>

00:44:06.099 --> 00:44:09.059
But<00:44:06.139><c> they,</c><00:44:06.920><c> like</c><00:44:07.139><c> Adam,</c><00:44:07.840><c> and</c><00:44:07.840><c> that's</c><00:44:08.199><c> the</c><00:44:08.340><c> Hebrew</c><00:44:08.639><c> word,</c>

00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:15.179
but<00:44:09.519><c> they,</c><00:44:11.059><c> like</c><00:44:11.400><c> Adam,</c><00:44:12.599><c> have</c><00:44:12.900><c> transgressed</c><00:44:13.960><c> the</c><00:44:14.260><c> covenant.</c>

00:44:16.139 --> 00:44:20.000
There<00:44:16.440><c> have</c><00:44:16.679><c> they</c><00:44:16.940><c> dealt</c><00:44:17.360><c> treacherously</c><00:44:18.460><c> against</c><00:44:19.099><c> Me.</c>

00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:23.340
So<00:44:20.519><c> you</c><00:44:20.579><c> see,</c><00:44:20.679><c> when</c><00:44:20.940><c> God</c><00:44:21.280><c> called</c><00:44:22.000><c> Israel</c><00:44:22.500><c> to</c><00:44:22.719><c> Himself,</c>

00:44:23.340 --> 00:44:27.039
we<00:44:24.159><c> are</c><00:44:24.380><c> told</c><00:44:24.539><c> in</c><00:44:24.719><c> Jeremiah</c><00:44:25.239><c> 13</c><00:44:26.039><c> and</c><00:44:26.280><c> verse</c><00:44:26.599><c> 11</c>

00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:29.199
that<00:44:27.460><c> He</c><00:44:27.719><c> called</c><00:44:28.000><c> them</c><00:44:28.260><c> for</c><00:44:28.500><c> a</c><00:44:28.699><c> purpose,</c>

00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:34.420
that<00:44:29.519><c> they</c><00:44:29.739><c> might</c><00:44:30.000><c> be</c><00:44:30.219><c> unto</c><00:44:30.420><c> Him</c><00:44:30.719><c> for</c><00:44:31.019><c> a</c><00:44:31.340><c> name</c><00:44:31.880><c> and</c><00:44:32.880><c> for</c><00:44:33.139><c> a</c><00:44:33.400><c> glory.</c>

00:44:35.099 --> 00:44:39.059
He<00:44:35.119><c> was</c><00:44:35.599><c> wanting</c><00:44:36.079><c> to</c><00:44:36.360><c> produce</c><00:44:36.840><c> in</c><00:44:37.219><c> them</c><00:44:37.619><c> a</c><00:44:38.000><c> likeness</c><00:44:38.380><c> to</c><00:44:38.539><c> Himself</c>

00:44:39.059 --> 00:44:41.159
by<00:44:39.440><c> which</c><00:44:39.739><c> He</c><00:44:40.059><c> would</c><00:44:40.260><c> be</c><00:44:40.559><c> glorified.</c>

00:44:41.380 --> 00:44:43.099
That's<00:44:41.659><c> the</c><00:44:41.920><c> covenant</c><00:44:42.139><c> He's</c><00:44:42.400><c> talking</c><00:44:42.719><c> about.</c>

00:44:43.320 --> 00:44:45.719
That's<00:44:43.619><c> why</c><00:44:43.900><c> He</c><00:44:44.179><c> refers</c><00:44:44.639><c> to</c><00:44:45.000><c> Adam</c><00:44:45.320><c> here.</c>

00:44:45.900 --> 00:44:48.179
Because<00:44:46.119><c> when</c><00:44:46.400><c> God</c><00:44:46.639><c> made</c><00:44:46.920><c> Adam,</c><00:44:47.199><c> He</c><00:44:47.320><c> made</c><00:44:47.519><c> him</c><00:44:47.639><c> in</c><00:44:47.719><c> His</c><00:44:47.900><c> own</c>

00:44:48.179 --> 00:44:49.639
image<00:44:48.699><c> and</c><00:44:49.219><c> likeness.</c>

00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:50.460
For<00:44:49.840><c> what</c><00:44:50.059><c> purpose?</c>

00:44:50.579 --> 00:44:52.119
Why<00:44:50.820><c> was</c><00:44:50.980><c> He</c><00:44:51.099><c> different</c><00:44:51.360><c> to</c><00:44:51.559><c> the</c><00:44:51.780><c> animals?</c>

00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:55.380
So<00:44:52.559><c> that</c><00:44:52.739><c> He</c><00:44:52.900><c> might</c><00:44:53.559><c> manifest</c><00:44:54.539><c> God's</c><00:44:55.059><c> glory.</c>

00:44:55.500 --> 00:44:57.300
And<00:44:55.639><c> why</c><00:44:55.840><c> did</c><00:44:56.000><c> He</c><00:44:56.000><c> give</c><00:44:56.119><c> him</c><00:44:56.340><c> a</c><00:44:56.500><c> wife?</c>

00:44:57.659 --> 00:44:59.380
Well,<00:44:57.880><c> because</c><00:44:58.380><c> that</c><00:44:58.659><c> was</c><00:44:58.880><c> necessary.</c>

00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:04.059
Adam<00:44:59.880><c> was</c><00:45:00.219><c> created</c><00:45:00.780><c> and</c><00:45:01.579><c> His</c><00:45:02.199><c> leading</c><00:45:02.800><c> characteristic</c><00:45:03.500><c> was,</c>

00:45:04.059 --> 00:45:08.039
you<00:45:04.159><c> might</c><00:45:04.420><c> say,</c><00:45:04.800><c> the</c><00:45:05.039><c> executive</c><00:45:05.699><c> side</c><00:45:06.179><c> of</c><00:45:06.420><c> the</c><00:45:06.659><c> divine</c><00:45:07.000><c> character.</c>

00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:12.619
But<00:45:09.320><c> that</c><00:45:09.559><c> would</c><00:45:09.739><c> have</c><00:45:09.900><c> been</c><00:45:10.139><c> cold</c><00:45:10.800><c> and</c><00:45:11.780><c> unproductive</c>

00:45:12.679 --> 00:45:16.159
if<00:45:13.059><c> He</c><00:45:13.139><c> didn't</c><00:45:13.420><c> have</c><00:45:13.900><c> someone</c><00:45:14.320><c> who</c><00:45:14.500><c> could</c><00:45:14.719><c> draw</c><00:45:15.059><c> from</c><00:45:15.340><c> Him</c>

00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:18.869
the<00:45:16.920><c> other</c><00:45:17.260><c> side</c><00:45:17.480><c> of</c><00:45:17.599><c> the</c><00:45:17.760><c> divine</c><00:45:18.079><c> character.</c>

00:45:18.920 --> 00:45:20.219
That's<00:45:19.059><c> why</c><00:45:19.179><c> God</c><00:45:19.400><c> provided</c><00:45:19.739><c> a</c><00:45:19.920><c> woman</c>

00:45:20.219 --> 00:45:23.000
whose<00:45:20.500><c> natural</c><00:45:20.980><c> inclination</c><00:45:21.480><c> is</c><00:45:21.739><c> towards</c><00:45:22.159><c> the</c><00:45:22.480><c> sympathy</c>

00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:25.360
and<00:45:23.519><c> the</c><00:45:23.760><c> empathy</c><00:45:24.219><c> and</c><00:45:24.539><c> the</c><00:45:24.860><c> kindness</c>

00:45:25.360 --> 00:45:27.659
and<00:45:25.820><c> the</c><00:45:26.000><c> compassion</c><00:45:26.699><c> of</c><00:45:26.980><c> the</c><00:45:27.119><c> divine</c><00:45:27.440><c> character.</c>

00:45:27.820 --> 00:45:30.000
So<00:45:27.940><c> that</c><00:45:28.079><c> husband</c><00:45:28.440><c> and</c><00:45:28.619><c> wife</c><00:45:28.940><c> might</c><00:45:29.239><c> together</c>

00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:33.280
be<00:45:30.699><c> manifestations</c><00:45:31.559><c> of</c><00:45:32.059><c> the</c><00:45:32.280><c> divine</c><00:45:32.679><c> character.</c>

00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:37.920
But<00:45:33.679><c> they</c><00:45:34.019><c> broke</c><00:45:34.639><c> My</c><00:45:35.139><c> covenant</c><00:45:35.719><c> like</c><00:45:36.880><c> Adam.</c>

00:45:39.300 --> 00:45:40.380
Do<00:45:39.460><c> you</c><00:45:39.480><c> know</c><00:45:39.480><c> what</c><00:45:39.480><c> He's</c><00:45:39.579><c> saying?</c>

00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:45.519
So<00:45:41.019><c> the</c><00:45:41.219><c> context</c><00:45:41.739><c> is</c><00:45:42.059><c> about</c><00:45:43.539><c> God</c><00:45:44.159><c> manifestation.</c>

00:45:46.539 --> 00:45:50.519
It's<00:45:47.179><c> that</c><00:45:47.820><c> covenant</c><00:45:48.500><c> He's</c><00:45:49.039><c> talking</c><00:45:49.340><c> about.</c>

00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:53.619
Can<00:45:50.719><c> you</c><00:45:50.840><c> step</c><00:45:51.079><c> back</c><00:45:51.360><c> to</c><00:45:51.519><c> verse</c><00:45:51.719><c> 4?</c>

00:45:54.460 --> 00:45:55.400
It<00:45:54.460><c> says</c><00:45:54.760><c> this,</c>

00:45:55.719 --> 00:45:59.159
O<00:45:55.980><c> Ephraim,</c><00:45:57.039><c> what</c><00:45:57.300><c> shall</c><00:45:57.480><c> I</c><00:45:57.639><c> do</c><00:45:57.800><c> unto</c><00:45:58.019><c> thee?</c>

00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:03.000
O<00:45:59.539><c> Judah,</c><00:46:00.840><c> what</c><00:46:01.079><c> shall</c><00:46:01.260><c> I</c><00:46:01.519><c> do</c><00:46:02.179><c> unto</c><00:46:02.500><c> thee?</c>

00:46:03.480 --> 00:46:06.820
For<00:46:03.659><c> your</c><00:46:04.099><c> goodness,</c><00:46:04.800><c> the</c><00:46:04.900><c> word</c><00:46:05.139><c> goodness</c><00:46:05.460><c> here</c><00:46:05.900><c> is</c><00:46:06.340><c> casex.</c>

00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:11.099
It's<00:46:07.119><c> the</c><00:46:07.260><c> same</c><00:46:07.639><c> word,</c><00:46:08.280><c> mercy,</c><00:46:09.119><c> in</c><00:46:09.340><c> verse</c><00:46:09.619><c> 6.</c>

00:46:12.380 --> 00:46:16.559
Your<00:46:13.139><c> goodness</c><00:46:13.900><c> is</c><00:46:15.300><c> as</c><00:46:15.480><c> a</c><00:46:15.679><c> morning</c><00:46:15.980><c> cloud,</c>

00:46:17.019 --> 00:46:18.739
and<00:46:17.139><c> as</c><00:46:17.280><c> the</c><00:46:17.519><c> early</c><00:46:17.860><c> dew</c><00:46:18.019><c> it</c><00:46:18.199><c> goeth</c><00:46:18.440><c> away.</c>

00:46:18.920 --> 00:46:20.219
It's<00:46:19.079><c> ephemeral.</c>

00:46:20.860 --> 00:46:24.460
The<00:46:20.980><c> wind</c><00:46:21.760><c> blows</c><00:46:22.280><c> upon</c><00:46:22.619><c> it</c><00:46:22.840><c> and</c><00:46:23.159><c> it</c><00:46:23.519><c> disappears.</c>

00:46:25.780 --> 00:46:30.880
You<00:46:25.960><c> don't</c><00:46:26.420><c> really</c><00:46:26.840><c> understand,</c><00:46:27.900><c> Israel,</c><00:46:28.579><c> why</c><00:46:28.800><c> I</c><00:46:29.179><c> called</c><00:46:29.460><c> you.</c>

00:46:31.380 --> 00:46:35.320
You<00:46:31.619><c> had</c><00:46:31.619><c> no</c><00:46:32.079><c> concept</c><00:46:32.940><c> of</c><00:46:33.500><c> why</c><00:46:33.940><c> I</c><00:46:34.360><c> bothered.</c>

00:46:35.900 --> 00:46:41.380
But<00:46:36.679><c> I</c><00:46:36.920><c> wanted</c><00:46:37.400><c> you</c><00:46:38.179><c> to</c><00:46:38.440><c> be</c><00:46:38.539><c> unto</c><00:46:38.800><c> Me</c><00:46:39.260><c> a</c><00:46:39.559><c> name</c><00:46:40.079><c> and</c><00:46:40.739><c> a</c><00:46:40.940><c> glory.</c>

00:46:41.760 --> 00:46:45.159
I<00:46:41.840><c> wanted</c><00:46:42.179><c> you</c><00:46:42.559><c> to</c><00:46:42.960><c> carry</c><00:46:43.260><c> My</c><00:46:43.739><c> character</c><00:46:44.199><c> to</c><00:46:44.539><c> the</c><00:46:44.739><c> nations</c>

00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:48.579
so<00:46:45.420><c> they</c><00:46:45.559><c> would</c><00:46:45.800><c> see</c><00:46:46.260><c> Me</c><00:46:46.940><c> in</c><00:46:47.219><c> you.</c>

00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:55.000
But<00:46:50.480><c> your</c><00:46:51.099><c> casex,</c><00:46:52.960><c> your</c><00:46:53.519><c> characteristics,</c>

00:46:55.159 --> 00:46:57.920
are<00:46:55.239><c> like</c><00:46:55.480><c> a</c><00:46:55.639><c> morning</c><00:46:55.900><c> cloud,</c><00:46:56.340><c> gone.</c>

00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:03.260
And<00:47:00.619><c> the</c><00:47:00.820><c> nations</c><00:47:01.059><c> don't</c><00:47:01.420><c> see</c><00:47:01.920><c> Me</c><00:47:02.519><c> in</c><00:47:02.780><c> you.</c>

00:47:03.260 --> 00:47:05.719
See<00:47:04.539><c> what</c><00:47:04.639><c> He's</c><00:47:04.760><c> saying?</c>

00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:09.519
So<00:47:06.719><c> when</c><00:47:07.079><c> this</c><00:47:07.579><c> statement</c><00:47:07.940><c> is</c><00:47:08.219><c> made</c><00:47:08.619><c> in</c><00:47:08.780><c> the</c><00:47:08.900><c> New</c><00:47:09.119><c> Testament,</c>

00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:11.900
that's<00:47:10.440><c> what</c><00:47:10.639><c> it</c><00:47:10.800><c> means.</c>

00:47:12.420 --> 00:47:17.159
I<00:47:12.820><c> will</c><00:47:13.179><c> have</c><00:47:13.639><c> mercy</c><00:47:14.320><c> and</c><00:47:15.639><c> not</c><00:47:15.880><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:47:18.960 --> 00:47:24.659
Our<00:47:19.239><c> lives</c><00:47:19.860><c> have</c><00:47:21.380><c> to</c><00:47:21.599><c> be</c><00:47:21.800><c> a</c><00:47:21.960><c> manifestation</c><00:47:22.719><c> of</c><00:47:23.460><c> God's</c><00:47:24.219><c> character.</c>

00:47:24.900 --> 00:47:26.000
You<00:47:24.900><c> don't</c><00:47:25.159><c> want</c><00:47:25.500><c> ritual.</c>

00:47:26.360 --> 00:47:28.500
Rituals<00:47:26.719><c> are</c><00:47:26.980><c> required</c><00:47:27.480><c> in</c><00:47:27.820><c> their</c><00:47:28.079><c> place.</c>

00:47:28.500 --> 00:47:32.500
But<00:47:29.179><c> that's</c><00:47:29.619><c> what</c><00:47:29.780><c> He</c><00:47:29.960><c> really</c><00:47:30.400><c> wants</c><00:47:30.800><c> in</c><00:47:31.659><c> Christadelphians</c>

00:47:32.500 --> 00:47:34.039
of<00:47:33.039><c> today.</c>

00:47:34.940 --> 00:47:39.179
As<00:47:35.019><c> He</c><00:47:35.199><c> says</c><00:47:35.420><c> in</c><00:47:35.639><c> 2</c><00:47:35.840><c> Corinthians</c><00:47:36.219><c> 6,</c><00:47:37.219><c> through</c><00:47:37.440><c> the</c><00:47:37.619><c> Apostle</c><00:47:38.019><c> Paul,</c>

00:47:39.380 --> 00:47:43.659
I<00:47:39.599><c> will</c><00:47:40.039><c> walk</c><00:47:40.960><c> about</c><00:47:41.559><c> in</c><00:47:42.599><c> them.</c>

00:47:44.260 --> 00:47:46.860
They<00:47:44.440><c> shall</c><00:47:44.579><c> be</c><00:47:44.760><c> My</c><00:47:45.039><c> sons</c><00:47:45.340><c> and</c><00:47:45.519><c> My</c><00:47:45.780><c> daughters,</c><00:47:46.519><c> saith</c><00:47:46.639><c> the</c>

00:47:46.860 --> 00:47:48.320
Lord<00:47:47.300><c> Almighty,</c>

00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:51.780
the<00:47:49.340><c> nourisher</c><00:47:49.880><c> of</c><00:47:50.420><c> a</c><00:47:50.639><c> family.</c>

00:47:51.900 --> 00:47:52.820
Ay,<00:47:52.119><c> or</c><00:47:52.219><c> should</c><00:47:52.380><c> I?</c>

00:47:53.039 --> 00:47:54.739
That's<00:47:53.320><c> where</c><00:47:53.500><c> that</c><00:47:53.739><c> language</c><00:47:54.000><c> is</c><00:47:54.280><c> coming</c><00:47:54.500><c> from.</c>

00:47:54.739 --> 00:47:59.219
So<00:47:55.019><c> that's</c><00:47:55.480><c> this</c><00:47:55.679><c> principle,</c><00:47:56.980><c> mercy</c><00:47:57.179><c> and</c><00:47:57.480><c> not</c><00:47:57.699><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:03.320
Blessed<00:48:01.519><c> are</c><00:48:02.079><c> the</c><00:48:02.280><c> merciful.</c>

00:48:06.380 --> 00:48:08.719
I<00:48:06.380><c> want</c><00:48:06.500><c> you</c><00:48:06.599><c> to</c><00:48:06.760><c> come</c><00:48:06.920><c> to</c><00:48:07.159><c> Psalm</c><00:48:07.300><c> 18.</c>

00:48:10.699 --> 00:48:14.699
Because<00:48:10.800><c> there's</c><00:48:10.980><c> something</c><00:48:11.260><c> else</c><00:48:11.500><c> here</c><00:48:11.719><c> we</c><00:48:11.860><c> need</c><00:48:12.059><c> to</c><00:48:12.280><c> be</c><00:48:12.900><c> aware</c><00:48:13.260><c> of.</c>

00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:18.380
Psalm<00:48:17.179><c> 18.</c>

00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:27.940
So<00:48:24.980><c> He's</c><00:48:25.260><c> talked</c><00:48:25.420><c> about</c><00:48:25.960><c> hungering</c><00:48:26.440><c> and</c><00:48:26.699><c> thirsting</c><00:48:27.119><c> after</c><00:48:27.460><c> righteousness.</c>

00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:29.460
Now<00:48:28.199><c> we</c><00:48:28.239><c> know</c><00:48:28.480><c> what</c><00:48:28.739><c> men</c><00:48:29.039><c> do.</c>

00:48:29.699 --> 00:48:32.500
Men<00:48:29.920><c> are</c><00:48:30.460><c> unbalanced,</c><00:48:31.340><c> aren't</c><00:48:31.519><c> we?</c>

00:48:33.980 --> 00:48:36.360
We<00:48:34.579><c> tend</c><00:48:34.980><c> to</c><00:48:35.340><c> go</c><00:48:35.500><c> to</c><00:48:35.920><c> extremes.</c>

00:48:36.780 --> 00:48:40.420
We<00:48:37.159><c> find</c><00:48:37.380><c> it</c><00:48:37.519><c> very</c><00:48:37.800><c> difficult</c><00:48:38.199><c> to</c><00:48:38.420><c> do</c><00:48:38.500><c> what</c><00:48:38.800><c> Yahweh</c><00:48:39.119><c> does</c><00:48:39.539><c> automatically.</c>

00:48:40.420 --> 00:48:47.760
His<00:48:41.760><c> ability</c><00:48:42.860><c> to</c><00:48:43.420><c> balance</c><00:48:43.840><c> mercy</c><00:48:44.400><c> and</c><00:48:45.420><c> righteousness</c><00:48:45.920><c> or</c><00:48:46.219><c> judgment</c><00:48:46.739><c> is</c>

00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:49.340
beyond<00:48:48.139><c> us.</c>

00:48:50.219 --> 00:48:54.719
So<00:48:50.219><c> there</c><00:48:50.760><c> needs</c><00:48:51.119><c> to</c><00:48:51.380><c> be</c><00:48:51.579><c> a</c><00:48:52.000><c> balancing</c><00:48:52.400><c> of</c><00:48:52.820><c> zeal</c><00:48:53.139><c> for</c><00:48:53.360><c> righteousness</c><00:48:53.880><c> by</c><00:48:54.239><c> a</c><00:48:54.480><c> mercy</c>

00:48:54.719 --> 00:49:00.280
which<00:48:55.019><c> responds</c><00:48:56.119><c> to</c><00:48:56.440><c> a</c><00:48:56.639><c> recognition</c><00:48:57.059><c> of</c><00:48:57.239><c> one's</c><00:48:57.599><c> own</c><00:48:57.900><c> need</c><00:48:58.500><c> for</c><00:48:59.300><c> mercy.</c>

00:49:00.539 --> 00:49:05.099
The<00:49:00.760><c> tempering</c><00:49:01.119><c> of</c><00:49:01.420><c> justice</c><00:49:02.440><c> by</c><00:49:02.980><c> mercy</c><00:49:03.400><c> is</c><00:49:04.079><c> indeed</c><00:49:04.599><c> without</c>

00:49:05.099 --> 00:49:06.860
compromise<00:49:05.719><c> of</c><00:49:05.920><c> God's</c><00:49:06.340><c> righteousness.</c>

00:49:07.340 --> 00:49:09.519
James<00:49:07.639><c> makes</c><00:49:07.920><c> that</c><00:49:08.139><c> very</c><00:49:08.480><c> clear</c><00:49:08.719><c> in</c><00:49:08.960><c> chapter</c><00:49:09.300><c> 2.</c>

00:49:09.519 --> 00:49:12.320
There's<00:49:09.699><c> no</c><00:49:10.079><c> compromise</c><00:49:10.760><c> of</c><00:49:10.920><c> God's</c><00:49:11.320><c> righteousness.</c>

00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:15.199
But<00:49:13.000><c> he</c><00:49:13.079><c> says</c><00:49:13.320><c> He</c><00:49:13.500><c> will</c><00:49:13.719><c> have</c><00:49:14.000><c> judgment</c><00:49:14.400><c> without</c><00:49:14.820><c> mercy.</c>

00:49:15.340 --> 00:49:16.579
He's<00:49:15.639><c> shown</c><00:49:15.880><c> no</c><00:49:16.260><c> mercy.</c>

00:49:17.019 --> 00:49:18.460
And<00:49:17.159><c> that</c><00:49:17.300><c> is</c><00:49:17.539><c> our</c><00:49:17.800><c> problem,</c><00:49:18.239><c> isn't</c><00:49:18.380><c> it?</c>

00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:20.019
To<00:49:18.599><c> get</c><00:49:18.780><c> that</c><00:49:19.099><c> right.</c>

00:49:20.179 --> 00:49:24.239
And<00:49:20.260><c> the</c><00:49:20.440><c> superscription</c><00:49:21.059><c> of</c><00:49:21.380><c> Psalm</c><00:49:21.579><c> 18</c><00:49:22.159><c> memorializes</c><00:49:23.239><c> David's</c><00:49:24.000><c> mercy</c>

00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:25.179
to<00:49:24.679><c> Saul</c>

00:49:25.179 --> 00:49:27.440
for<00:49:25.960><c> which</c><00:49:26.119><c> God</c><00:49:26.380><c> showed</c><00:49:26.699><c> David</c><00:49:27.179><c> mercy.</c>

00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:30.380
Have<00:49:27.639><c> a</c><00:49:27.739><c> look</c><00:49:27.840><c> at</c><00:49:27.980><c> the</c><00:49:28.199><c> superscription</c><00:49:29.000><c> of</c><00:49:29.900><c> Psalm</c><00:49:30.079><c> 18.</c>

00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:33.059
It<00:49:30.500><c> says</c><00:49:30.719><c> to</c><00:49:31.500><c> the</c><00:49:31.699><c> chief</c><00:49:31.920><c> musician</c><00:49:32.239><c> which</c><00:49:32.440><c> actually</c><00:49:32.780><c> belongs</c>

00:49:33.059 --> 00:49:34.000
to<00:49:33.320><c> Psalm</c><00:49:33.559><c> 17.</c>

00:49:34.059 --> 00:49:35.300
Then<00:49:34.159><c> it</c><00:49:34.380><c> says,</c>

00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:39.179
A<00:49:36.440><c> son</c><00:49:36.820><c> of</c><00:49:37.019><c> David</c><00:49:37.519><c> the</c><00:49:37.920><c> servant</c><00:49:38.260><c> of</c><00:49:38.500><c> Yahweh</c>

00:49:39.179 --> 00:49:41.559
and<00:49:39.360><c> this</c><00:49:39.480><c> is</c><00:49:39.760><c> actually</c><00:49:40.219><c> inspired.</c>

00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:43.699
This<00:49:41.739><c> is</c><00:49:41.880><c> not</c><00:49:42.019><c> an</c><00:49:42.199><c> addition</c><00:49:42.460><c> by</c><00:49:42.719><c> the</c><00:49:42.920><c> translators</c>

00:49:43.699 --> 00:49:47.059
who<00:49:44.340><c> spoke</c><00:49:44.699><c> unto</c><00:49:44.940><c> Yahweh</c><00:49:45.539><c> the</c><00:49:46.059><c> words</c><00:49:46.300><c> of</c><00:49:46.500><c> this</c><00:49:46.760><c> song</c>

00:49:47.059 --> 00:49:50.199
in<00:49:47.300><c> the</c><00:49:47.480><c> day</c><00:49:47.699><c> that</c><00:49:47.940><c> Yahweh</c><00:49:48.260><c> delivered</c><00:49:48.679><c> him</c><00:49:49.039><c> from</c><00:49:49.300><c> the</c><00:49:49.599><c> hand</c><00:49:49.840><c> of</c>

00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:51.340

Oh<00:56:02.119><c> yes,</c><00:56:02.280><c> there's</c><00:56:02.440><c> one</c><00:56:02.639><c> to</c><00:56:02.900><c> go.</c>

00:56:03.420 --> 00:56:08.199
But<00:56:03.539><c> as</c><00:56:03.719><c> we're</c><00:56:03.940><c> going</c><00:56:04.039><c> to</c><00:56:04.280><c> see,</c><00:56:05.420><c> the</c><00:56:05.559><c> eighth</c><00:56:05.800><c> is</c><00:56:05.980><c> actually</c><00:56:06.940><c> the</c>

00:56:11.460 --> 00:56:15.699
It's<00:56:11.679><c> what</c><00:56:11.940><c> happens</c><00:56:12.460><c> to</c><00:56:12.800><c> you</c><00:56:13.400><c> when</c><00:56:13.940><c> you've</c><00:56:14.460><c> got</c><00:56:14.539><c> it.</c>

00:56:15.840 --> 00:56:19.239
So<00:56:16.480><c> this</c><00:56:16.880><c> seventh,</c><00:56:17.719><c> and</c><00:56:17.880><c> by</c><00:56:18.059><c> the</c><00:56:18.179><c> way,</c><00:56:18.360><c> the</c><00:56:18.500><c> number</c><00:56:18.739><c> seven</c><00:56:19.039><c> is</c>
