And<00:01:01.219><c> of</c><00:01:01.359><c> course,</c><00:01:01.579><c> the</c><00:01:01.640><c> conclusion</c><00:01:02.060><c> that</c><00:01:02.359><c> Isaiah</c><00:01:02.840><c> brought</c><00:01:03.179><c> to</c><00:01:04.879><c> Ahaz</c>

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:09.280
was<00:01:06.400><c> that</c><00:01:07.019><c> because</c><00:01:07.939><c> they</c><00:01:08.120><c> were</c><00:01:08.359><c> refusing</c><00:01:08.719><c> that,</c>

00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.340
that<00:01:09.739><c> the</c><00:01:09.959><c> waters</c><00:01:10.379><c> of</c><00:01:10.659><c> the</c><00:01:10.840><c> river,</c><00:01:11.359><c> strong</c><00:01:11.780><c> and</c><00:01:12.140><c> many,</c>

00:01:12.379 --> 00:01:14.219

And<00:01:14.519><c> of</c><00:01:14.700><c> course,</c><00:01:14.840><c> he</c><00:01:14.939><c> was</c><00:01:15.140><c> speaking</c><00:01:15.480><c> about</c><00:01:16.159><c> the</c><00:01:16.439><c> waters</c><00:01:16.700><c> of</c><00:01:16.879><c> Assyria.</c>

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.900
And<00:01:22.000><c> the</c><00:01:22.500><c> reason</c><00:01:22.739><c> those</c><00:01:22.980><c> waters</c><00:01:23.200><c> were</c><00:01:23.400><c> going</c><00:01:23.540><c> to</c><00:01:23.780><c> come</c>

00:01:23.900 --> 00:01:25.760
was<00:01:24.140><c> because</c><00:01:24.400><c> nobody</c><00:01:24.739><c> was</c><00:01:25.019><c> doing</c><00:01:25.280><c> anything</c>

00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.299
about<00:01:26.219><c> the</c><00:01:26.620><c> problems</c><00:01:27.060><c> that</c><00:01:27.540><c> were</c><00:01:27.700><c> taking</c><00:01:27.959><c> place.</c>

00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:31.120
So<00:01:29.459><c> we're</c><00:01:29.959><c> gonna</c><00:01:30.079><c> look</c><00:01:30.260><c> this</c><00:01:30.540><c> morning</c><00:01:30.799><c> then</c>

00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.400
at<00:01:31.680><c> what</c><00:01:31.859><c> it</c><00:01:32.099><c> takes</c><00:01:32.319><c> to</c><00:01:32.680><c> bring</c><00:01:33.159><c> change.</c>

00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.920
And<00:01:34.680><c> what</c><00:01:34.780><c> we're</c><00:01:34.939><c> going</c><00:01:35.019><c> to</c><00:01:35.200><c> see</c><00:01:35.359><c> is</c><00:01:35.620><c> that</c><00:01:36.120><c> change</c><00:01:36.680><c> comes</c>

00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.060
when<00:01:38.280><c> people</c><00:01:38.959><c> act.</c>

00:01:40.340 --> 00:01:43.859
And<00:01:40.519><c> Hezekiah</c><00:01:41.099><c> is</c><00:01:41.400><c> a</c><00:01:41.579><c> man</c><00:01:41.959><c> in</c><00:01:42.739><c> the</c><00:01:43.540><c> classes</c>

00:01:43.859 --> 00:01:46.420
that<00:01:44.000><c> we're</c><00:01:44.200><c> going</c><00:01:44.359><c> to</c><00:01:44.519><c> go</c><00:01:44.700><c> on</c><00:01:45.180><c> for</c><00:01:45.680><c> the</c><00:01:45.799><c> rest</c><00:01:45.920><c> of</c><00:01:46.079><c> the</c><00:01:46.180><c> week.</c>

00:01:46.780 --> 00:01:52.040
He's<00:01:47.159><c> a</c><00:01:47.260><c> man</c><00:01:47.439><c> that</c><00:01:47.739><c> acts</c><00:01:48.140><c> very</c><00:01:48.700><c> decisively</c><00:01:49.420><c> to</c><00:01:49.760><c> bring</c><00:01:50.060><c> about</c><00:01:50.840><c> change.</c>

00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.239
So<00:01:52.760><c> change</c><00:01:53.019><c> happens,</c><00:01:54.280><c> first</c><00:01:54.519><c> of</c><00:01:54.739><c> all,</c>

00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.299
when<00:01:55.799><c> there</c><00:01:56.000><c> are</c><00:01:56.099><c> people</c><00:01:56.500><c> who</c><00:01:56.879><c> see</c><00:01:57.379><c> the</c><00:01:57.780><c> dangers</c>

00:01:58.299 --> 00:02:01.920
of<00:01:58.659><c> the</c><00:01:58.859><c> present</c><00:01:59.140><c> condition,</c><00:02:00.359><c> when</c><00:02:00.579><c> people</c><00:02:00.879><c> see</c><00:02:01.200><c> the</c><00:02:01.439><c> problems</c>

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:08.240
and<00:02:02.540><c> people</c><00:02:02.900><c> say,</c><00:02:04.000><c> we've</c><00:02:04.060><c> just</c><00:02:04.420><c> got</c><00:02:04.799><c> to</c><00:02:05.159><c> do</c><00:02:05.760><c> something</c><00:02:06.239><c> about</c><00:02:07.120><c> it.</c>

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:11.280
Now,<00:02:09.319><c> when</c><00:02:09.539><c> does</c><00:02:09.659><c> that</c><00:02:09.900><c> happen</c><00:02:10.139><c> in</c><00:02:10.300><c> an</c><00:02:10.460><c> ecclesia?</c>

00:02:11.819 --> 00:02:14.379
When<00:02:12.039><c> do</c><00:02:12.219><c> we</c><00:02:12.300><c> get</c><00:02:12.479><c> to</c><00:02:12.719><c> a</c><00:02:12.819><c> point</c><00:02:13.060><c> in</c><00:02:13.280><c> our</c><00:02:13.500><c> ecclesia</c>

00:02:14.379 --> 00:02:19.259
where<00:02:15.180><c> certain</c><00:02:15.699><c> things</c><00:02:16.099><c> have</c><00:02:16.539><c> not</c><00:02:18.300><c> had</c><00:02:18.520><c> our</c><00:02:18.759><c> attention</c>

00:02:19.259 --> 00:02:21.259
and<00:02:19.919><c> maybe</c><00:02:20.180><c> things</c><00:02:20.360><c> are</c><00:02:20.659><c> deteriorating</c>

00:02:21.259 --> 00:02:25.139
and<00:02:21.400><c> we</c><00:02:21.639><c> say,</c><00:02:21.879><c> we've</c><00:02:22.080><c> got</c><00:02:22.199><c> to</c><00:02:22.460><c> do</c><00:02:22.919><c> something</c><00:02:23.479><c> about</c><00:02:24.180><c> it?</c>

00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.360
Well,<00:02:26.400><c> maybe</c><00:02:26.639><c> it's</c><00:02:26.800><c> Wednesday</c><00:02:27.120><c> night</c><00:02:27.319><c> Bible</c><00:02:27.599><c> class</c><00:02:27.939><c> attendance.</c>

00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:29.800
That's<00:02:29.120><c> a</c><00:02:29.219><c> good</c><00:02:29.379><c> barometer.</c>

00:02:29.939 --> 00:02:31.020
We<00:02:30.080><c> often</c><00:02:30.340><c> use</c><00:02:30.539><c> that</c><00:02:30.800><c> one.</c>

00:02:31.460 --> 00:02:34.039
Maybe<00:02:31.919><c> when</c><00:02:32.280><c> it</c><00:02:32.400><c> gets</c><00:02:32.580><c> down</c><00:02:32.900><c> to</c><00:02:33.300><c> 50</c><00:02:33.620><c>%</c>

00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.360

And<00:05:14.879><c> 28</c><00:05:15.220><c> verse</c><00:05:15.439><c> one</c><00:05:15.660><c> we</c><00:05:15.839><c> see</c><00:05:16.079><c> that</c><00:05:16.360><c> Ahaz</c><00:05:17.040><c> was</c><00:05:17.560><c> 20</c><00:05:17.959><c> years</c><00:05:18.319><c> old</c>

00:05:18.980 --> 00:05:21.199
when<00:05:19.439><c> he</c><00:05:19.699><c> began</c><00:05:20.019><c> to</c><00:05:20.339><c> reign.</c>

00:05:22.259 --> 00:05:25.399
So<00:05:22.500><c> if</c><00:05:22.639><c> he</c><00:05:22.759><c> was</c><00:05:22.879><c> 20</c><00:05:23.139><c> years</c><00:05:23.439><c> old</c><00:05:23.600><c> when</c><00:05:23.779><c> he</c><00:05:24.040><c> began</c><00:05:24.319><c> to</c><00:05:24.620><c> reign,</c>

00:05:25.699 --> 00:05:28.980
how<00:05:26.079><c> much</c><00:05:26.519><c> older</c><00:05:26.819><c> was</c><00:05:27.139><c> Ahaz</c><00:05:27.680><c> than</c><00:05:28.519><c> Hezekiah?</c>

00:05:29.019 --> 00:05:31.259
A<00:05:29.139><c> little</c><00:05:29.300><c> math</c><00:05:29.579><c> test</c><00:05:29.740><c> for</c><00:05:29.920><c> you</c><00:05:30.040><c> guys</c><00:05:30.180><c> this</c><00:05:30.459><c> morning.</c>

00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.040
How<00:05:32.180><c> much</c><00:05:32.420><c> older</c><00:05:32.680><c> was</c><00:05:32.920><c> he?</c>

00:05:35.420 --> 00:05:38.600
He<00:05:35.800><c> was</c><00:05:36.000><c> 11</c><00:05:36.300><c> years</c><00:05:36.920><c> older,</c><00:05:38.360><c> right?</c>

00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:39.899
11<00:05:39.180><c> years</c><00:05:39.680><c> older.</c>

00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:44.279
So<00:05:40.220><c> Ahaz</c><00:05:40.600><c> was</c><00:05:40.839><c> 11</c><00:05:41.199><c> years</c><00:05:41.600><c> old</c><00:05:42.220><c> when</c><00:05:42.620><c> Hezekiah</c><00:05:43.120><c> was</c><00:05:43.379><c> born.</c>

00:05:44.300 --> 00:05:49.540
Now,<00:05:45.800><c> what</c><00:05:45.939><c> does</c><00:05:46.100><c> that</c><00:05:46.300><c> tell</c><00:05:46.540><c> us</c><00:05:46.879><c> about</c><00:05:47.519><c> Ahaz</c><00:05:48.100><c> the</c><00:05:48.680><c> father?</c>

00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:52.000
He<00:05:50.459><c> was</c><00:05:50.600><c> more</c><00:05:50.759><c> like</c><00:05:50.959><c> a</c><00:05:51.180><c> brother,</c><00:05:51.540><c> wasn't</c><00:05:51.720><c> he?</c>

00:05:52.060 --> 00:05:55.600
At<00:05:52.579><c> least</c><00:05:52.860><c> in</c><00:05:53.160><c> age</c><00:05:53.660><c> to</c><00:05:54.740><c> Hezekiah</c>

00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.040
because<00:05:56.160><c> they</c><00:05:56.339><c> were</c><00:05:56.480><c> only</c><00:05:56.779><c> 11</c><00:05:57.139><c> years</c><00:05:57.699><c> apart.</c>

00:05:58.300 --> 00:06:02.860
Now<00:05:58.500><c> in</c><00:05:58.540><c> my</c><00:05:58.759><c> family,</c><00:06:00.720><c> my</c><00:06:01.100><c> older</c><00:06:01.459><c> brother</c><00:06:01.800><c> and</c><00:06:02.019><c> my</c><00:06:02.220><c> younger</c><00:06:02.500><c> brother</c>

00:06:02.860 --> 00:06:06.740
are<00:06:03.339><c> almost</c><00:06:03.939><c> 11</c><00:06:04.740><c> years</c><00:06:05.600><c> apart</c><00:06:05.959><c> in</c><00:06:06.120><c> our</c><00:06:06.379><c> family.</c>

00:06:07.139 --> 00:06:09.720
And<00:06:07.480><c> they</c><00:06:07.839><c> lived</c><00:06:08.040><c> together,</c><00:06:08.459><c> grew</c><00:06:08.639><c> up</c><00:06:08.899><c> together.</c>

00:06:09.899 --> 00:06:12.220
So<00:06:10.100><c> what</c><00:06:10.259><c> we</c><00:06:10.500><c> see</c><00:06:10.620><c> is</c><00:06:10.879><c> that</c><00:06:11.459><c> Ahaz</c>

00:06:12.220 --> 00:06:17.680
could<00:06:12.519><c> not</c><00:06:12.920><c> possibly</c><00:06:13.500><c> have</c><00:06:13.819><c> been</c><00:06:14.699><c> much</c><00:06:15.100><c> of</c><00:06:15.360><c> a</c><00:06:15.519><c> father</c><00:06:16.139><c> to</c><00:06:16.639><c> Hezekiah.</c>

00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:23.639
So<00:06:19.060><c> who</c><00:06:19.420><c> was</c><00:06:19.680><c> it</c><00:06:20.060><c> that</c><00:06:20.500><c> raised</c><00:06:20.939><c> Hezekiah</c><00:06:21.680><c> and</c><00:06:22.180><c> taught</c><00:06:22.579><c> Hezekiah</c>

00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.879
and<00:06:24.740><c> showed</c><00:06:25.139><c> him</c><00:06:25.339><c> the</c><00:06:25.500><c> way</c><00:06:25.639><c> that</c><00:06:25.800><c> he</c><00:06:25.879><c> should</c><00:06:26.019><c> live</c><00:06:26.180><c> his</c><00:06:26.439><c> life?</c>

00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.680
Especially<00:06:27.660><c> when</c><00:06:27.800><c> he</c><00:06:27.920><c> was</c><00:06:28.120><c> raised</c><00:06:28.379><c> in</c><00:06:28.680><c> such</c><00:06:29.000><c> a</c><00:06:29.319><c> mess</c>

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.819
as<00:06:30.339><c> the</c><00:06:30.500><c> Ecclesia</c><00:06:30.740><c> was</c><00:06:31.019><c> at</c><00:06:31.240><c> that</c><00:06:31.420><c> time.</c>

00:06:32.300 --> 00:06:33.860
So<00:06:32.600><c> who</c><00:06:32.740><c> was</c><00:06:32.980><c> preparing</c><00:06:33.319><c> him</c><00:06:33.600><c> then</c>

00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:38.100
for<00:06:34.040><c> the</c><00:06:34.180><c> work</c><00:06:34.319><c> that</c><00:06:34.439><c> he</c><00:06:34.540><c> had</c><00:06:34.680><c> to</c><00:06:34.860><c> do,</c><00:06:37.019><c> right?</c>

00:06:39.339 --> 00:06:41.480
Who's<00:06:39.899><c> the</c><00:06:40.060><c> logical</c><00:06:40.439><c> person?</c>

00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.620
Abijah,<00:06:43.000><c> his</c><00:06:43.220><c> mother,</c><00:06:43.680><c> right?</c>

00:06:44.779 --> 00:06:46.120
It<00:06:44.959><c> must</c><00:06:45.220><c> have</c><00:06:45.379><c> been</c><00:06:45.480><c> his</c><00:06:45.779><c> mother</c>

00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.360
that<00:06:46.300><c> was</c><00:06:46.540><c> doing</c><00:06:46.800><c> the</c><00:06:47.060><c> work</c><00:06:47.259><c> of</c><00:06:47.480><c> raising</c><00:06:48.240><c> Hezekiah.</c>

00:06:49.379 --> 00:06:54.079
And<00:06:49.540><c> we</c><00:06:49.660><c> find</c><00:06:49.819><c> that</c><00:06:50.019><c> Abijah's</c><00:06:50.600><c> name</c><00:06:50.779><c> means,</c><00:06:52.680><c> interestingly</c><00:06:53.120><c> enough,</c>

00:06:54.500 --> 00:06:58.699
my<00:06:54.680><c> father</c><00:06:55.459><c> is</c><00:06:56.500><c> Yahweh,</c><00:06:58.439><c> right?</c>

00:06:58.699 --> 00:07:01.160
So<00:06:58.899><c> her</c><00:06:59.160><c> name</c><00:06:59.480><c> gives</c><00:06:59.819><c> us</c><00:07:00.139><c> the</c><00:07:00.399><c> answer,</c><00:07:00.740><c> I</c><00:07:00.939><c> think,</c>

00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.300
as<00:07:01.399><c> to</c><00:07:01.540><c> why</c><00:07:02.000><c> Hezekiah</c><00:07:02.620><c> turned</c><00:07:02.920><c> out</c><00:07:03.519><c> so</c><00:07:03.959><c> well.</c>

00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.540
Of<00:07:04.959><c> course,</c><00:07:05.399><c> Ahaz</c><00:07:05.600><c> could</c><00:07:05.819><c> not</c><00:07:06.019><c> have</c><00:07:06.199><c> been</c><00:07:06.420><c> the</c><00:07:06.660><c> father,</c>

00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:12.139
but<00:07:07.899><c> Abijah,</c><00:07:08.899><c> her</c><00:07:09.079><c> name</c><00:07:09.220><c> means</c><00:07:09.639><c> my</c><00:07:10.000><c> father,</c><00:07:10.839><c> is</c><00:07:11.139><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:07:12.220 --> 00:07:15.220
Now<00:07:12.360><c> what</c><00:07:12.420><c> do</c><00:07:12.480><c> we</c><00:07:12.600><c> say</c><00:07:12.759><c> that</c><00:07:12.959><c> Hezekiah's</c><00:07:13.740><c> name</c><00:07:13.860><c> means</c><00:07:14.180><c> yesterday?</c>

00:07:15.819 --> 00:07:20.100
Hezekiah's<00:07:16.339><c> name</c><00:07:16.500><c> means</c><00:07:17.019><c> the</c><00:07:17.660><c> strength</c><00:07:18.420><c> of</c><00:07:19.060><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:07:20.180 --> 00:07:23.000
So<00:07:20.259><c> that</c><00:07:20.459><c> fits</c><00:07:20.680><c> in</c><00:07:20.920><c> very</c><00:07:21.160><c> well,</c><00:07:21.420><c> I</c><00:07:21.420><c> think,</c><00:07:21.839><c> with</c><00:07:22.160><c> that.</c>

00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:25.279
Let's<00:07:23.740><c> take</c><00:07:23.920><c> a</c><00:07:23.959><c> look</c><00:07:24.079><c> at</c><00:07:24.259><c> 2</c><00:07:24.459><c> Kings,</c><00:07:24.939><c> then,</c>

00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:29.339
the<00:07:26.139><c> other</c><00:07:26.399><c> record</c><00:07:26.800><c> of</c><00:07:27.459><c> Hezekiah's</c><00:07:28.620><c> reign.</c>

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.459
And<00:07:30.139><c> there's</c><00:07:30.300><c> another</c><00:07:30.540><c> one</c><00:07:30.699><c> as</c><00:07:30.920><c> well</c><00:07:31.160><c> in</c><00:07:31.560><c> Isaiah.</c>

00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.379
But<00:07:33.000><c> 2</c><00:07:33.180><c> Kings</c><00:07:33.459><c> 18,</c><00:07:34.079><c> I</c><00:07:34.240><c> think,</c><00:07:34.399><c> supports</c><00:07:35.000><c> this</c><00:07:35.660><c> very</c><00:07:36.000><c> well.</c>

00:07:36.379 --> 00:07:39.939
2<00:07:37.019><c> Kings</c><00:07:37.319><c> 18</c><00:07:37.920><c> and</c><00:07:38.160><c> verse</c><00:07:38.420><c> three</c><00:07:38.759><c> says,</c>

00:07:40.139 --> 00:07:44.019
and<00:07:40.259><c> he</c><00:07:40.480><c> did</c><00:07:40.660><c> that</c><00:07:40.899><c> which</c><00:07:41.060><c> was</c><00:07:41.360><c> right</c><00:07:41.759><c> in</c><00:07:42.079><c> the</c><00:07:42.259><c> sight</c><00:07:42.480><c> of</c><00:07:42.779><c> Yahweh</c>

00:07:44.500 --> 00:07:49.959
according<00:07:44.959><c> to</c><00:07:45.240><c> all</c><00:07:45.540><c> that</c><00:07:46.699><c> David</c><00:07:47.300><c> his</c><00:07:48.819><c> father</c><00:07:49.100><c> did.</c>

00:07:50.420 --> 00:07:52.019
That's<00:07:50.800><c> interesting,</c><00:07:51.240><c> isn't</c><00:07:51.360><c> it?</c>

00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:56.839
So<00:07:52.720><c> Ahaz</c><00:07:53.379><c> couldn't</c><00:07:53.819><c> have</c><00:07:54.040><c> been</c><00:07:54.100><c> much</c><00:07:54.319><c> of</c><00:07:54.519><c> a</c><00:07:54.620><c> father,</c><00:07:55.879><c> right?</c>

00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:05.000
Yahweh<00:07:58.899><c> was</c><00:07:59.379><c> his</c><00:07:59.779><c> father,</c><00:08:00.819><c> and</c><00:08:01.199><c> also</c><00:08:01.920><c> David</c><00:08:02.839><c> was</c><00:08:03.959><c> his</c><00:08:04.199><c> father.</c>

00:08:05.459 --> 00:08:06.860
Now<00:08:05.939><c> why</c><00:08:06.120><c> is</c><00:08:06.180><c> that</c><00:08:06.319><c> so</c><00:08:06.500><c> interesting?</c>

00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.680
That<00:08:07.439><c> the</c><00:08:07.560><c> scriptures</c><00:08:07.839><c> indicates</c><00:08:08.379><c> from</c><00:08:08.740><c> these</c><00:08:09.019><c> two</c><00:08:09.259><c> passages</c>

00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.199
that<00:08:10.040><c> David</c><00:08:10.519><c> was</c><00:08:10.860><c> his</c><00:08:11.100><c> father</c><00:08:11.540><c> and</c><00:08:12.620><c> that</c><00:08:12.879><c> Yahweh,</c>

00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.120
and<00:08:13.379><c> that</c><00:08:13.519><c> God</c><00:08:13.740><c> was</c><00:08:13.980><c> his</c><00:08:14.220><c> father.</c>

00:08:15.220 --> 00:08:16.980
What<00:08:15.339><c> does</c><00:08:15.379><c> that</c><00:08:15.519><c> remind</c><00:08:15.879><c> us</c><00:08:16.100><c> of?</c>

00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:19.779
Doesn't<00:08:17.459><c> that</c><00:08:17.660><c> remind</c><00:08:17.860><c> us</c><00:08:18.019><c> of</c><00:08:18.180><c> 2</c><00:08:18.399><c> Samuel</c><00:08:18.819><c> chapter</c><00:08:19.300><c> seven?</c>

00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:21.939
Right,<00:08:20.379><c> the</c><00:08:20.540><c> promises</c><00:08:20.860><c> to</c><00:08:21.100><c> David?</c>

00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:22.980
And<00:08:22.279><c> we</c><00:08:22.399><c> won't</c><00:08:22.519><c> look</c><00:08:22.759><c> at</c><00:08:22.860><c> that,</c>

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:25.779
but<00:08:23.120><c> the</c><00:08:23.339><c> promises</c><00:08:23.600><c> to</c><00:08:23.939><c> David</c><00:08:24.379><c> were</c><00:08:24.920><c> based</c><00:08:25.199><c> upon</c><00:08:25.500><c> the</c><00:08:25.660><c> fact</c>

00:08:25.779 --> 00:08:28.560
that<00:08:25.980><c> his</c><00:08:26.300><c> seed,</c><00:08:27.360><c> his</c><00:08:27.639><c> son,</c><00:08:27.899><c> if</c><00:08:28.060><c> you</c><00:08:28.259><c> will,</c>

00:08:29.019 --> 00:08:30.839
would<00:08:29.160><c> also</c><00:08:29.360><c> be</c><00:08:29.560><c> God's</c><00:08:29.920><c> son.</c>

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:34.019
And<00:08:31.220><c> so</c><00:08:31.399><c> we</c><00:08:31.540><c> see</c><00:08:31.800><c> in</c><00:08:31.980><c> Hezekiah</c><00:08:32.700><c> the</c><00:08:33.220><c> type</c><00:08:33.559><c> of</c><00:08:33.799><c> Christ</c>

00:08:34.019 --> 00:08:38.259
starting<00:08:34.320><c> to</c><00:08:34.720><c> form,</c><00:08:35.659><c> and</c><00:08:36.000><c> we</c><00:08:36.259><c> see</c><00:08:36.500><c> the</c><00:08:36.679><c> answer</c><00:08:36.980><c> to</c><00:08:37.399><c> our</c><00:08:37.620><c> question</c><00:08:37.879><c> is,</c>

00:08:38.500 --> 00:08:41.659
how<00:08:38.639><c> could</c><00:08:38.899><c> Hezekiah</c><00:08:39.379><c> have</c><00:08:39.639><c> turned</c><00:08:39.799><c> out</c><00:08:40.460><c> so</c><00:08:40.820><c> well?</c>

00:08:44.139 --> 00:08:47.460
Well,<00:08:44.360><c> let's</c><00:08:44.519><c> look</c><00:08:44.700><c> at</c><00:08:44.799><c> what</c><00:08:44.980><c> else</c><00:08:45.299><c> King</c><00:08:45.539><c> says</c><00:08:45.919><c> about</c><00:08:46.200><c> Hezekiah.</c>

00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.600
2<00:08:48.120><c> Kings</c><00:08:48.779><c> chapter</c><00:08:49.440><c> 18,</c><00:08:51.100><c> verse</c><00:08:51.259><c> five.</c>

00:08:51.779 --> 00:08:56.360
It<00:08:51.779><c> says,</c><00:08:52.759><c> he</c><00:08:52.940><c> trusted</c><00:08:53.500><c> in</c><00:08:54.000><c> Yahweh,</c><00:08:54.500><c> the</c><00:08:54.720><c> God</c><00:08:55.059><c> of</c><00:08:55.279><c> Israel,</c>

00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.500
so<00:08:56.879><c> that</c><00:08:57.039><c> after</c><00:08:57.259><c> him</c><00:08:57.440><c> was</c><00:08:57.740><c> none</c><00:08:57.940><c> like</c><00:08:58.240><c> him</c>

00:08:58.500 --> 00:09:01.919
among<00:08:58.759><c> all</c><00:08:59.200><c> the</c><00:08:59.279><c> kings</c><00:08:59.519><c> of</c><00:08:59.779><c> Judah</c><00:09:00.240><c> nor</c><00:09:00.600><c> any</c><00:09:00.779><c> that</c><00:09:00.899><c> were</c><00:09:01.039><c> before</c><00:09:01.340><c> him.</c>

00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.559
So<00:09:02.460><c> he's</c><00:09:02.740><c> known</c><00:09:03.019><c> for</c><00:09:04.080><c> trust.</c>

00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.320
That's<00:09:05.039><c> the</c><00:09:05.379><c> signature</c><00:09:05.899><c> characteristic</c><00:09:06.539><c> of</c><00:09:06.740><c> Hezekiah,</c>

00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.200
is<00:09:08.259><c> that</c><00:09:08.399><c> he</c><00:09:08.659><c> trusted</c><00:09:09.080><c> in</c><00:09:10.220><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.220
What<00:09:12.340><c> does</c><00:09:12.519><c> it</c><00:09:12.620><c> mean</c><00:09:12.779><c> to</c><00:09:13.039><c> trust</c><00:09:13.840><c> in</c><00:09:14.159><c> Yahweh?</c>

00:09:15.340 --> 00:09:17.159
What<00:09:15.460><c> does</c><00:09:15.620><c> it</c><00:09:15.620><c> mean</c><00:09:15.759><c> to</c><00:09:15.980><c> trust</c><00:09:16.159><c> in</c><00:09:16.399><c> someone?</c>

00:09:17.820 --> 00:09:21.320
If<00:09:17.960><c> you</c><00:09:18.159><c> trust</c><00:09:18.539><c> someone,</c><00:09:20.100><c> then</c><00:09:20.200><c> you</c><00:09:20.360><c> have</c><00:09:20.679><c> confidence</c>

00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:23.820
that<00:09:21.820><c> what</c><00:09:22.019><c> they</c><00:09:22.340><c> say</c><00:09:22.500><c> they're</c><00:09:22.799><c> going</c><00:09:23.039><c> to</c><00:09:23.279><c> do,</c>

00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.960
that<00:09:24.419><c> they</c><00:09:24.720><c> will</c><00:09:25.200><c> actually</c><00:09:25.679><c> do,</c><00:09:26.720><c> right?</c>

00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.039
And<00:09:27.100><c> that's</c><00:09:27.419><c> how</c><00:09:27.620><c> we</c><00:09:27.879><c> build</c><00:09:28.059><c> trust</c><00:09:28.639><c> in</c><00:09:29.740><c> people,</c>

00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:32.440
or<00:09:30.259><c> build</c><00:09:30.580><c> trust</c><00:09:30.960><c> in</c><00:09:31.740><c> other</c><00:09:31.960><c> people,</c>

00:09:32.779 --> 00:09:35.419
is<00:09:32.919><c> if</c><00:09:33.120><c> we</c><00:09:33.519><c> tell</c><00:09:33.720><c> them</c><00:09:33.879><c> we're</c><00:09:33.980><c> going</c><00:09:34.179><c> to</c><00:09:34.340><c> do</c><00:09:34.500><c> something,</c>

00:09:35.659 --> 00:09:39.340
and<00:09:35.840><c> we</c><00:09:36.039><c> do</c><00:09:36.259><c> that,</c><00:09:37.259><c> then</c><00:09:37.440><c> they</c><00:09:37.659><c> begin</c><00:09:37.899><c> to</c><00:09:38.120><c> trust</c><00:09:38.360><c> us.</c>

00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:40.860
And<00:09:39.539><c> what</c><00:09:39.620><c> happens,</c><00:09:39.980><c> of</c><00:09:40.100><c> course,</c><00:09:40.259><c> if</c><00:09:40.379><c> we</c><00:09:40.580><c> tell</c><00:09:40.720><c> them</c>

00:09:40.860 --> 00:09:43.580
we're<00:09:40.980><c> going</c><00:09:41.159><c> to</c><00:09:41.279><c> do</c><00:09:41.419><c> something</c><00:09:41.759><c> and</c><00:09:41.940><c> we</c><00:09:42.139><c> don't</c><00:09:42.340><c> do</c><00:09:42.539><c> it,</c>

00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:45.179
trust<00:09:44.259><c> is</c><00:09:44.519><c> gone,</c><00:09:44.940><c> right?</c>

00:09:45.179 --> 00:09:46.779
The<00:09:45.399><c> trust</c><00:09:45.639><c> is</c><00:09:45.960><c> eroded.</c>

00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.559
So<00:09:47.360><c> Hezekiah</c><00:09:47.799><c> had</c><00:09:48.200><c> this</c><00:09:48.600><c> trust</c><00:09:49.220><c> in</c><00:09:50.240><c> God.</c>

00:09:50.860 --> 00:09:53.659
He<00:09:51.059><c> had</c><00:09:51.340><c> complete</c><00:09:51.720><c> confidence</c><00:09:52.139><c> that</c><00:09:52.360><c> God</c><00:09:52.559><c> was</c><00:09:52.820><c> going</c><00:09:52.980><c> to</c><00:09:53.240><c> do</c>

00:09:53.659 --> 00:09:55.779
what<00:09:53.960><c> he</c><00:09:54.080><c> said</c><00:09:54.220><c> he</c><00:09:54.279><c> was</c><00:09:54.480><c> going</c><00:09:54.659><c> to</c><00:09:54.860><c> do.</c>

00:09:56.539 --> 00:09:58.320
Verse<00:09:56.679><c> six</c><00:09:56.960><c> gives</c><00:09:57.139><c> us</c><00:09:57.320><c> a</c><00:09:57.340><c> little</c><00:09:57.519><c> bit</c><00:09:57.639><c> more</c><00:09:57.840><c> information</c>

00:09:58.320 --> 00:09:59.779
about<00:09:58.860><c> this.</c>

00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:04.220
Verse<00:10:00.039><c> six</c><00:10:00.299><c> says,</c><00:10:01.500><c> he</c><00:10:01.500><c> clave</c><00:10:02.639><c> to</c><00:10:03.200><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:10:05.100 --> 00:10:10.980
To<00:10:05.379><c> clave</c><00:10:05.940><c> means</c><00:10:06.539><c> to</c><00:10:07.580><c> stick</c><00:10:08.039><c> to,</c><00:10:09.080><c> or</c><00:10:09.259><c> to</c><00:10:09.460><c> be</c><00:10:09.799><c> loyal</c><00:10:10.120><c> to.</c>

00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:12.879
What's<00:10:12.019><c> loyalty?</c>

00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:19.580
Loyalty<00:10:15.299><c> is</c><00:10:15.519><c> supporting</c><00:10:16.100><c> somebody</c><00:10:16.700><c> no</c><00:10:17.820><c> matter</c><00:10:18.039><c> what,</c><00:10:19.059><c> right?</c>

00:10:19.580 --> 00:10:23.340
Even<00:10:19.879><c> when</c><00:10:20.860><c> you</c><00:10:21.360><c> might</c><00:10:21.580><c> not</c><00:10:21.779><c> completely</c><00:10:22.240><c> agree,</c>

00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.159

00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.179
But<00:10:28.759><c> because</c><00:10:29.179><c> Hezekiah</c><00:10:29.679><c> trusted,</c>

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:36.440
Hezekiah<00:10:32.559><c> therefore</c><00:10:33.019><c> was</c><00:10:34.139><c> loyal,</c><00:10:35.759><c> right?</c>

00:10:36.500 --> 00:10:39.200
And<00:10:36.779><c> those</c><00:10:36.940><c> two</c><00:10:37.159><c> things,</c><00:10:37.580><c> trust</c><00:10:38.100><c> and</c><00:10:38.740><c> loyalty,</c>

if<00:10:44.620><c> you</c><00:10:44.840><c> see</c><00:10:45.100><c> a</c><00:10:45.320><c> leader</c><00:10:45.500><c> that</c><00:10:45.799><c> you</c><00:10:46.480><c> respect,</c>

00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:50.879
that's<00:10:48.919><c> a</c><00:10:49.000><c> person</c><00:10:49.179><c> that</c><00:10:49.360><c> you</c><00:10:49.519><c> want</c><00:10:49.700><c> to</c><00:10:50.019><c> follow,</c>

00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:52.879
you'll<00:10:51.700><c> follow</c><00:10:51.879><c> them.</c>

00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.000
And<00:10:53.200><c> that's</c><00:10:53.340><c> what</c><00:10:53.440><c> it</c><00:10:53.580><c> says</c><00:10:53.700><c> next</c><00:10:53.960><c> about</c><00:10:54.159><c> Hezekiah,</c><00:10:54.700><c> right?</c>

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.940
He<00:10:55.500><c> departed</c><00:10:56.059><c> not</c><00:10:56.679><c> from</c><00:10:57.639><c> following</c><00:10:58.000><c> him.</c>

00:10:59.580 --> 00:11:04.240
Trust<00:11:00.200><c> plus</c><00:11:00.840><c> loyalty,</c><00:11:01.759><c> that's</c><00:11:01.980><c> what</c><00:11:02.299><c> Hezekiah</c><00:11:02.820><c> had</c><00:11:03.200><c> for</c><00:11:03.440><c> God,</c>

00:11:04.299 --> 00:11:06.000
complete<00:11:04.559><c> loyalty</c><00:11:04.960><c> for</c><00:11:05.159><c> God.</c>

00:11:06.059 --> 00:11:09.179
And<00:11:06.179><c> so</c><00:11:06.320><c> what</c><00:11:06.440><c> happens</c><00:11:06.759><c> next</c><00:11:07.100><c> in</c><00:11:08.220><c> that</c><00:11:08.639><c> sixth</c><00:11:08.820><c> verse,</c>

00:11:09.580 --> 00:11:12.419
it<00:11:09.679><c> said</c><00:11:09.759><c> he</c><00:11:09.919><c> kept</c><00:11:10.320><c> his</c><00:11:11.419><c> commandments.</c>

00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:15.159
Now<00:11:13.240><c> there's</c><00:11:13.379><c> something</c><00:11:13.539><c> else</c><00:11:13.759><c> we</c><00:11:13.899><c> can</c><00:11:14.120><c> kind</c><00:11:14.240><c> of</c><00:11:14.399><c> glean</c><00:11:14.639><c> from</c><00:11:14.879><c> this</c>

00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:16.539
as<00:11:15.500><c> we</c><00:11:15.659><c> look</c><00:11:15.820><c> at</c><00:11:16.000><c> this.</c>

00:11:16.940 --> 00:11:21.940
And<00:11:17.039><c> what</c><00:11:17.179><c> we</c><00:11:17.379><c> glean</c><00:11:17.620><c> is</c><00:11:18.240><c> that</c><00:11:19.080><c> he</c><00:11:20.440><c> followed</c><00:11:20.860><c> God,</c>

00:11:22.149 --> 00:11:25.700
so<00:11:22.419><c> he</c><00:11:22.600><c> had</c><00:11:22.840><c> to</c><00:11:23.039><c> know</c><00:11:23.259><c> God</c><00:11:23.519><c> and</c><00:11:23.679><c> he</c><00:11:23.720><c> had</c><00:11:23.919><c> to</c><00:11:24.100><c> know</c><00:11:24.240><c> God's</c><00:11:24.679><c> ways.</c>

00:11:26.419 --> 00:11:27.840
He<00:11:26.440><c> kept</c><00:11:26.659><c> the</c><00:11:26.960><c> commandments,</c>

00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:32.379
so<00:11:28.620><c> he</c><00:11:28.779><c> had</c><00:11:29.000><c> to</c><00:11:29.220><c> know</c><00:11:29.919><c> those</c><00:11:30.580><c> commandments</c><00:11:31.120><c> as</c><00:11:31.419><c> well.</c>

00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.059
So<00:11:32.980><c> he's</c><00:11:33.620><c> quite</c><00:11:33.899><c> different</c><00:11:34.440><c> then.</c>

00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.620
He's<00:11:35.820><c> quite</c><00:11:36.139><c> different</c><00:11:36.500><c> from</c><00:11:36.799><c> everybody</c><00:11:37.240><c> else</c>

00:11:37.620 --> 00:11:40.919
or<00:11:37.820><c> most</c><00:11:38.080><c> of</c><00:11:38.220><c> the</c><00:11:38.320><c> other</c><00:11:38.480><c> people</c><00:11:38.720><c> in</c><00:11:38.860><c> the</c><00:11:39.000><c> Ecclesia</c><00:11:39.299><c> at</c><00:11:39.860><c> the</c><00:11:40.019><c> time.</c>

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.779
It's<00:11:41.419><c> almost</c><00:11:41.580><c> as</c><00:11:41.779><c> if</c><00:11:41.980><c> he</c><00:11:42.000><c> was</c><00:11:42.460><c> like,</c>

00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:45.860
the<00:11:44.600><c> situation</c><00:11:45.080><c> was</c><00:11:45.340><c> like</c><00:11:45.580><c> Hannah,</c>

00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.419
where<00:11:46.360><c> Abijah</c><00:11:47.200><c> prayed</c><00:11:47.720><c> for</c><00:11:48.000><c> a</c><00:11:48.200><c> son</c>

00:11:48.419 --> 00:11:51.279
and<00:11:49.019><c> she</c><00:11:49.340><c> raised</c><00:11:49.799><c> that</c><00:11:50.120><c> son</c><00:11:50.360><c> in</c><00:11:50.580><c> such</c><00:11:50.759><c> a</c><00:11:50.960><c> way</c>

00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:55.539
that<00:11:51.600><c> he</c><00:11:51.759><c> would</c><00:11:51.980><c> be</c><00:11:52.159><c> a</c><00:11:52.399><c> deliverer</c><00:11:53.460><c> for</c><00:11:53.980><c> Israel</c><00:11:54.399><c> and</c><00:11:54.600><c> for</c><00:11:54.799><c> Judah.</c>

00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.480
So<00:11:56.580><c> what</c><00:11:56.779><c> was</c><00:11:57.200><c> Hezekiah's</c><00:11:57.840><c> preparation</c><00:11:58.240><c> then?</c>

00:11:58.519 --> 00:11:59.700
Let's<00:11:58.740><c> look</c><00:11:58.980><c> at</c><00:11:59.259><c> the</c><00:11:59.460><c> steps</c>

00:11:59.700 --> 00:12:01.340
and<00:11:59.840><c> we'll</c><00:11:59.940><c> kind</c><00:12:00.100><c> of</c><00:12:00.159><c> work</c><00:12:00.340><c> our</c><00:12:00.500><c> way</c><00:12:00.620><c> through</c><00:12:00.879><c> this.</c>

00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:07.539
First<00:12:02.059><c> of</c><00:12:02.259><c> all,</c><00:12:03.240><c> Hezekiah</c><00:12:03.759><c> learned</c><00:12:04.299><c> to</c><00:12:04.799><c> trust</c><00:12:05.799><c> in</c><00:12:06.440><c> Yahweh</c>

00:12:07.620 --> 00:12:11.000
and<00:12:07.860><c> he</c><00:12:07.960><c> was</c><00:12:08.139><c> taught</c><00:12:08.299><c> that</c><00:12:08.740><c> it</c><00:12:09.039><c> would</c><00:12:09.279><c> seem</c><00:12:09.480><c> by</c><00:12:09.679><c> his</c><00:12:09.980><c> mother</c>

00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.960
and<00:12:11.919><c> I</c><00:12:12.000><c> think</c><00:12:12.100><c> he</c><00:12:12.220><c> was</c><00:12:12.379><c> also</c><00:12:12.700><c> taught</c><00:12:12.919><c> that</c><00:12:13.220><c> by</c><00:12:13.820><c> the</c><00:12:14.059><c> scriptures.</c>

00:12:15.299 --> 00:12:17.240
And<00:12:15.399><c> her</c><00:12:15.480><c> brother</c><00:12:15.620><c> Richard</c><00:12:16.000><c> already</c><00:12:16.419><c> alluded</c><00:12:16.679><c> to</c><00:12:16.899><c> this</c><00:12:17.100><c> fact</c>

00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:18.340
this<00:12:17.399><c> morning.</c>

00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:20.320
What<00:12:18.659><c> was</c><00:12:18.879><c> the</c><00:12:19.059><c> king</c><00:12:19.259><c> supposed</c><00:12:19.659><c> to</c><00:12:19.899><c> do</c>

00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.340
when<00:12:20.779><c> he</c><00:12:20.899><c> came</c><00:12:21.120><c> to</c><00:12:21.279><c> the</c><00:12:21.500><c> throne?</c>

00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:24.039
Deuteronomy<00:12:22.980><c> 17,</c><00:12:23.440><c> 18</c><00:12:23.740><c> says,</c>

00:12:24.139 --> 00:12:27.179
and<00:12:24.139><c> it</c><00:12:24.259><c> shall</c><00:12:24.399><c> be</c><00:12:24.820><c> when</c><00:12:25.220><c> he</c><00:12:25.320><c> sits</c><00:12:25.539><c> on</c><00:12:25.720><c> the</c><00:12:25.860><c> throne</c><00:12:26.019><c> of</c><00:12:26.159><c> his</c><00:12:26.340><c> kingdom,</c>

00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:31.940
he'll<00:12:27.559><c> write</c><00:12:27.759><c> him</c><00:12:28.039><c> a</c><00:12:28.220><c> copy</c><00:12:28.679><c> of</c><00:12:29.139><c> this</c><00:12:29.399><c> law</c><00:12:30.039><c> in</c><00:12:30.700><c> a</c><00:12:30.899><c> book</c>

00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:36.179
out<00:12:32.440><c> of</c><00:12:32.500><c> that</c><00:12:32.779><c> which</c><00:12:32.940><c> is</c><00:12:33.159><c> before</c><00:12:33.480><c> the</c><00:12:33.740><c> priests,</c><00:12:34.960><c> the</c><00:12:35.139><c> Levites.</c>

00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:38.000
So<00:12:36.879><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:12:37.240><c> 17</c><00:12:37.679><c> says,</c>

00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.559
the<00:12:38.299><c> king</c><00:12:38.539><c> was</c><00:12:38.759><c> supposed</c><00:12:39.019><c> to</c><00:12:39.299><c> write</c><00:12:39.440><c> himself</c><00:12:39.899><c> a</c><00:12:40.100><c> copy</c><00:12:40.419><c> of</c><00:12:40.679><c> the</c><00:12:40.759><c> law.</c>

00:12:42.100 --> 00:12:43.620
And<00:12:42.259><c> you</c><00:12:42.279><c> can</c><00:12:42.440><c> imagine</c><00:12:42.779><c> what</c><00:12:42.940><c> that</c><00:12:43.200><c> was</c><00:12:43.399><c> like</c>

00:12:43.620 --> 00:12:47.220
as<00:12:43.740><c> he</c><00:12:43.840><c> was</c><00:12:44.179><c> reading</c><00:12:44.580><c> and</c><00:12:45.320><c> writing</c><00:12:45.659><c> and</c><00:12:45.879><c> reading</c><00:12:46.240><c> and</c><00:12:46.639><c> writing</c>

00:12:47.220 --> 00:12:51.279
and<00:12:47.899><c> he</c><00:12:48.000><c> came</c><00:12:48.279><c> through</c><00:12:48.879><c> and</c><00:12:49.539><c> he</c><00:12:49.659><c> looked</c><00:12:49.759><c> at</c><00:12:49.960><c> the</c><00:12:50.139><c> blessings</c>

00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:54.120
for<00:12:52.039><c> obedience</c><00:12:52.480><c> that</c><00:12:52.700><c> Israel</c><00:12:52.980><c> would</c><00:12:53.220><c> have</c>

00:12:54.379 --> 00:12:57.480
and<00:12:54.659><c> he</c><00:12:54.759><c> looked</c><00:12:54.879><c> at</c><00:12:55.019><c> the</c><00:12:55.220><c> cursings</c><00:12:56.100><c> for</c><00:12:57.159><c> Israel</c>

00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.080
that<00:12:57.600><c> they</c><00:12:57.759><c> would</c><00:12:57.960><c> have</c><00:12:58.120><c> if</c><00:12:58.259><c> they</c><00:12:58.399><c> were</c><00:12:58.600><c> disobedient.</c>

00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:02.539
And<00:13:00.600><c> he</c><00:13:00.679><c> looked</c><00:13:00.820><c> around</c><00:13:01.259><c> and</c><00:13:01.460><c> he</c><00:13:01.620><c> said,</c>

00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:08.539
we're<00:13:03.200><c> disobedient,</c><00:13:04.820><c> we're</c><00:13:04.960><c> in</c><00:13:05.159><c> that</c><00:13:05.440><c> group,</c><00:13:07.460><c> right?</c>

00:13:09.379 --> 00:13:11.960
And<00:13:09.620><c> he's</c><00:13:09.740><c> 25</c><00:13:10.240><c> years</c><00:13:10.539><c> old.</c>

00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:15.960

00:13:16.539 --> 00:13:18.940
What<00:13:16.700><c> had</c><00:13:16.860><c> he</c><00:13:17.059><c> seen</c><00:13:17.519><c> in</c><00:13:17.799><c> those</c><00:13:18.100><c> 16</c><00:13:18.600><c> years</c>

00:13:18.940 --> 00:13:22.120
that<00:13:19.080><c> as</c><00:13:19.240><c> he</c><00:13:19.379><c> was</c><00:13:19.759><c> copying</c><00:13:20.220><c> out</c><00:13:20.860><c> the</c><00:13:21.120><c> law,</c>

00:13:22.460 --> 00:13:25.039
he<00:13:22.980><c> would</c><00:13:23.179><c> have</c><00:13:23.220><c> said,</c><00:13:23.500><c> this</c><00:13:23.500><c> is</c><00:13:23.700><c> the</c><00:13:23.820><c> hand</c><00:13:24.000><c> of</c><00:13:24.159><c> God.</c>

00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:30.100
Well,<00:13:27.220><c> he'd</c><00:13:27.500><c> seen</c><00:13:27.659><c> Jerusalem</c><00:13:28.179><c> attacked</c><00:13:28.580><c> by</c><00:13:28.940><c> Syria,</c><00:13:29.799><c> right?</c>

00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:33.440
Because<00:13:30.379><c> God</c><00:13:30.840><c> brought</c><00:13:31.379><c> the</c><00:13:31.759><c> Syrians</c><00:13:32.159><c> and</c><00:13:32.840><c> the</c><00:13:33.080><c> Israelites.</c>

00:13:59.820 --> 00:14:04.460
He'd<00:14:00.279><c> seen</c><00:14:00.580><c> the</c><00:14:00.899><c> Edomites</c><00:14:01.580><c> attacking</c><00:14:02.220><c> and</c><00:14:03.059><c> taking</c><00:14:03.360><c> captives.</c>

00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:07.419

00:14:07.700 --> 00:14:12.799
And<00:14:07.759><c> he'd</c><00:14:08.000><c> seen</c><00:14:08.600><c> Judah</c><00:14:09.059><c> weaker</c><00:14:10.120><c> and</c><00:14:10.659><c> weaker</c><00:14:11.120><c> and</c><00:14:11.899><c> weaker.</c>

00:14:13.059 --> 00:14:14.799
And<00:14:13.200><c> he</c><00:14:13.279><c> had</c><00:14:13.480><c> to</c><00:14:13.620><c> make</c><00:14:13.740><c> the</c><00:14:13.980><c> connection</c><00:14:14.240><c> then,</c><00:14:14.480><c> didn't</c><00:14:14.659><c> he,</c>

00:14:16.899 --> 00:14:19.480
for<00:14:17.460><c> a</c><00:14:17.639><c> nation</c><00:14:17.820><c> that</c><00:14:17.980><c> was</c><00:14:18.179><c> disobedient.</c>

00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:21.840
And<00:14:20.600><c> that</c><00:14:20.720><c> was</c><00:14:21.000><c> nothing.</c>

00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:24.100
That<00:14:22.840><c> was</c><00:14:23.059><c> nothing</c><00:14:23.360><c> at</c><00:14:23.519><c> all</c><00:14:23.700><c> compared</c>

00:14:30.820 --> 00:14:32.840
The<00:14:30.980><c> words</c><00:14:31.100><c> of</c><00:14:31.299><c> the</c><00:14:31.419><c> prophets</c><00:14:31.679><c> probably</c><00:14:32.039><c> had</c><00:14:32.220><c> an</c><00:14:32.379><c> impact</c><00:14:32.659><c> on</c>

00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:33.179
him<00:14:33.019><c> too.</c>

00:14:33.179 --> 00:14:36.860
He'd<00:14:33.500><c> heard</c><00:14:33.740><c> what</c><00:14:34.200><c> Isaiah</c><00:14:34.519><c> had</c><00:14:34.700><c> been</c><00:14:34.860><c> talking</c><00:14:35.179><c> about</c><00:14:35.440><c> for</c><00:14:35.639><c> years.</c>

00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:42.039
He'd<00:14:39.220><c> wondered,</c><00:14:40.139><c> are</c><00:14:40.200><c> those</c><00:14:40.440><c> things</c><00:14:40.659><c> going</c><00:14:40.940><c> to</c><00:14:41.179><c> happen?</c>

00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:46.440
But<00:14:43.019><c> of</c><00:14:43.159><c> course,</c><00:14:43.360><c> he</c><00:14:43.460><c> was</c><00:14:43.659><c> a</c><00:14:43.799><c> man</c><00:14:43.919><c> that</c><00:14:44.139><c> put</c><00:14:44.299><c> his</c><00:14:44.639><c> trust</c><00:14:45.399><c> in</c><00:14:46.139><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:14:46.500 --> 00:14:48.080
So<00:14:46.639><c> what</c><00:14:46.759><c> does</c><00:14:46.919><c> that</c><00:14:47.159><c> mean?</c>

00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.120
That<00:14:49.159><c> means</c><00:14:49.620><c> that</c><00:14:49.980><c> he</c><00:14:50.159><c> had</c><00:14:50.519><c> confidence</c>

00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:54.919
that<00:14:51.440><c> the</c><00:14:51.679><c> things</c><00:14:51.960><c> that</c><00:14:52.200><c> God</c><00:14:52.500><c> promised</c><00:14:52.960><c> he</c><00:14:53.159><c> was</c><00:14:53.419><c> going</c><00:14:53.600><c> to</c><00:14:53.840><c> do,</c>

00:14:55.460 --> 00:14:57.799
he<00:14:55.679><c> was</c><00:14:55.940><c> actually</c><00:14:56.379><c> going</c><00:14:56.679><c> to</c><00:14:56.960><c> do.</c>

00:14:58.340 --> 00:15:01.639
And<00:14:58.600><c> he</c><00:14:58.720><c> was</c><00:14:59.519><c> terrified</c><00:15:00.120><c> of</c><00:15:00.320><c> this,</c><00:15:01.419><c> right?</c>

00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.120
Isaiah<00:15:02.000><c> 8,</c><00:15:02.679><c> verse</c><00:15:02.799><c> 7,</c><00:15:03.100><c> the</c><00:15:03.259><c> waters</c><00:15:03.759><c> of</c><00:15:04.379><c> the</c><00:15:04.600><c> river,</c>

00:15:05.580 --> 00:15:08.639
strong<00:15:06.100><c> and</c><00:15:06.539><c> many,</c><00:15:07.500><c> even</c><00:15:07.679><c> the</c><00:15:07.860><c> king</c><00:15:07.980><c> of</c><00:15:08.179><c> Assyria,</c>

00:15:08.779 --> 00:15:10.399
and<00:15:08.940><c> all</c><00:15:09.179><c> his</c><00:15:09.399><c> glory.</c>

00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.000
And<00:15:10.700><c> he</c><00:15:10.799><c> should</c><00:15:10.899><c> come</c><00:15:11.120><c> up</c><00:15:11.360><c> over</c><00:15:11.620><c> all</c><00:15:11.799><c> his</c><00:15:12.059><c> channels</c>

00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:15.179
and<00:15:13.299><c> go</c><00:15:13.500><c> over</c><00:15:13.759><c> all</c><00:15:14.080><c> his</c><00:15:14.320><c> banks.</c>

00:15:16.299 --> 00:15:19.360
Now<00:15:16.480><c> how</c><00:15:16.580><c> did</c><00:15:16.759><c> the</c><00:15:16.919><c> coming</c><00:15:17.080><c> of</c><00:15:17.240><c> the</c><00:15:17.340><c> king</c><00:15:17.519><c> of</c><00:15:17.679><c> Assyria</c><00:15:18.399><c> happen?</c>

00:15:19.379 --> 00:15:21.519
It's<00:15:19.559><c> kind</c><00:15:19.679><c> of</c><00:15:19.759><c> an</c><00:15:19.899><c> interesting</c><00:15:20.279><c> story</c>

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:25.220
because<00:15:22.519><c> it</c><00:15:22.720><c> really</c><00:15:23.019><c> happened</c><00:15:23.379><c> because</c><00:15:24.100><c> of</c><00:15:24.820><c> Ahaz,</c>

00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:29.000
both<00:15:25.960><c> directly</c><00:15:26.759><c> and</c><00:15:28.500><c> indirectly.</c>

00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:30.980
So<00:15:29.220><c> because</c><00:15:29.620><c> of</c><00:15:29.860><c> Ahaz's</c><00:15:30.320><c> disobedience,</c>

00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.720
God<00:15:31.240><c> said,</c><00:15:31.779><c> I'm</c><00:15:32.019><c> going</c><00:15:32.179><c> to</c><00:15:32.379><c> bring</c><00:15:32.500><c> the</c><00:15:32.720><c> Assyrians.</c>

But<00:15:35.000><c> what</c><00:15:35.440><c> we</c><00:15:35.659><c> find</c><00:15:35.899><c> out</c><00:15:36.259><c> when</c><00:15:36.419><c> we</c><00:15:36.500><c> go</c><00:15:36.639><c> back</c>

00:15:56.750 --> 00:15:59.159
he<00:15:57.100><c> thought</c><00:15:57.360><c> that</c><00:15:57.559><c> the</c><00:15:57.740><c> smartest</c><00:15:58.100><c> course</c><00:15:58.460><c> of</c><00:15:58.759><c> action</c>

00:16:03.259 --> 00:16:08.700
to<00:16:03.580><c> come</c><00:16:03.840><c> down</c><00:16:04.580><c> and</c><00:16:05.419><c> deliver</c><00:16:05.820><c> him</c><00:16:06.159><c> from</c><00:16:06.440><c> all</c><00:16:07.059><c> of</c><00:16:07.500><c> his</c><00:16:07.759><c> enemies.</c>

00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.460
So<00:16:09.320><c> 2</c><00:16:09.480><c> Chronicles</c><00:16:09.940><c> chapter</c><00:16:10.299><c> 28,</c><00:16:10.860><c> verse</c><00:16:10.899><c> 16,</c><00:16:11.480><c> it</c><00:16:11.480><c> says,</c>

00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.100
and<00:16:12.519><c> at</c><00:16:12.620><c> that</c><00:16:12.879><c> time</c><00:16:13.019><c> did</c><00:16:13.220><c> King</c><00:16:13.500><c> Ahaz</c><00:16:13.779><c> send</c><00:16:14.279><c> under</c><00:16:14.559><c> the</c><00:16:14.759><c> kings</c>

00:16:15.100 --> 00:16:18.919
of<00:16:15.399><c> Assyria</c><00:16:16.059><c> to</c><00:16:17.419><c> help</c><00:16:17.700><c> him.</c>

00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:23.980
Brilliant,<00:16:21.220><c> absolutely</c><00:16:21.620><c> brilliant</c><00:16:22.200><c> what</c><00:16:22.360><c> he</c><00:16:22.500><c> does</c><00:16:22.740><c> here,</c><00:16:23.559><c> right?</c>

00:16:23.980 --> 00:16:26.879
And<00:16:24.379><c> of</c><00:16:24.559><c> course,</c><00:16:25.120><c> if</c><00:16:25.120><c> we</c><00:16:25.220><c> go</c><00:16:25.340><c> down</c><00:16:25.480><c> to</c><00:16:25.600><c> verse</c><00:16:25.779><c> 20,</c>

00:16:27.779 --> 00:16:31.720
and<00:16:28.059><c> Tiglath</c><00:16:28.639><c>-Hilnesser,</c><00:16:29.320><c> king</c><00:16:29.519><c> of</c><00:16:29.700><c> Assyria,</c><00:16:30.679><c> came</c><00:16:30.899><c> to</c><00:16:31.080><c> him.</c>

00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:36.000
So<00:16:32.139><c> he</c><00:16:32.299><c> came,</c><00:16:33.519><c> and</c><00:16:33.860><c> he</c><00:16:34.159><c> took</c><00:16:34.340><c> care</c><00:16:34.559><c> of</c><00:16:34.779><c> the</c><00:16:35.019><c> Assyrians,</c>

00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.600
and<00:16:36.779><c> he</c><00:16:36.960><c> took</c><00:16:37.139><c> care</c><00:16:37.399><c> of</c><00:16:37.559><c> Israel,</c>

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:44.120
and<00:16:39.919><c> he</c><00:16:40.399><c> took</c><00:16:40.860><c> care</c><00:16:41.440><c> of</c><00:16:42.659><c> Judah</c><00:16:42.940><c> in</c><00:16:43.559><c> the</c><00:16:43.759><c> wrong</c><00:16:43.960><c> way.</c>

00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:48.379
The<00:16:44.279><c> verse</c><00:16:44.440><c> says,</c><00:16:45.500><c> and</c><00:16:45.500><c> distressed</c><00:16:46.240><c> him,</c><00:16:47.659><c> but</c><00:16:47.799><c> helped</c><00:16:48.019><c> him</c><00:16:48.240><c> not.</c>

00:16:48.379 --> 00:16:51.440
So<00:16:48.539><c> he</c><00:16:48.639><c> took</c><00:16:48.820><c> his</c><00:16:49.059><c> money,</c><00:16:50.440><c> and</c><00:16:50.620><c> he</c><00:16:50.700><c> came</c><00:16:50.940><c> anyway,</c>

00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:54.159
and<00:16:52.000><c> he</c><00:16:52.200><c> came,</c><00:16:53.100><c> and</c><00:16:53.220><c> he</c><00:16:53.580><c> distressed,</c>

00:16:54.379 --> 00:16:56.759
and<00:16:54.480><c> that</c><00:16:54.679><c> word</c><00:16:54.840><c> means</c><00:16:55.419><c> to</c><00:16:55.820><c> vex.</c>

00:16:57.259 --> 00:17:01.259
It's<00:16:57.360><c> like</c><00:16:58.059><c> Edersheim</c><00:16:58.700><c> says,</c><00:16:59.200><c> the</c><00:16:59.240><c> danger</c><00:16:59.799><c> incurred</c>

00:17:01.259 --> 00:17:04.880
was<00:17:01.720><c> far</c><00:17:02.059><c> greater</c><00:17:02.500><c> than</c><00:17:02.679><c> the</c><00:17:02.899><c> danger</c><00:17:03.740><c> avoided.</c>

00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:07.980
So<00:17:05.500><c> yeah,</c><00:17:05.680><c> he</c><00:17:05.900><c> avoided</c><00:17:06.279><c> the</c><00:17:06.660><c> attacks</c><00:17:06.960><c> of</c><00:17:07.099><c> Israel</c><00:17:07.460><c> and</c><00:17:07.680><c> Syria,</c>

00:17:08.059 --> 00:17:12.700
but<00:17:08.240><c> it</c><00:17:08.299><c> was</c><00:17:08.680><c> a</c><00:17:08.940><c> much</c><00:17:09.160><c> greater</c><00:17:09.579><c> force</c><00:17:10.920><c> that</c><00:17:11.140><c> came</c><00:17:11.339><c> against</c><00:17:11.700><c> him.</c>

00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:15.119
And<00:17:12.960><c> verse</c><00:17:13.160><c> 22,</c><00:17:13.740><c> what</c><00:17:13.900><c> does</c><00:17:14.039><c> he</c><00:17:14.140><c> do?</c>

00:17:15.220 --> 00:17:16.440
In<00:17:15.359><c> the</c><00:17:15.539><c> times</c><00:17:15.720><c> of</c><00:17:15.880><c> his</c><00:17:16.079><c> distress,</c>

00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:20.720
did<00:17:16.700><c> he</c><00:17:16.980><c> trespass</c><00:17:17.799><c> yet</c><00:17:18.119><c> more</c><00:17:19.119><c> against</c><00:17:19.660><c> Yahweh?</c>

00:17:21.539 --> 00:17:26.700
And<00:17:22.099><c> then</c><00:17:22.259><c> it</c><00:17:22.380><c> says,</c><00:17:23.599><c> this</c><00:17:23.599><c> is</c><00:17:24.500><c> that</c><00:17:25.359><c> king</c><00:17:26.220><c> Ahaz.</c>

00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:30.200
So<00:17:27.339><c> you've</c><00:17:27.599><c> heard</c><00:17:27.720><c> about</c><00:17:27.960><c> Ahaz,</c><00:17:28.640><c> you've</c><00:17:28.799><c> heard</c><00:17:28.900><c> how</c><00:17:29.059><c> bad</c><00:17:29.380><c> Ahaz</c><00:17:29.779><c> was.</c>

00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:34.119
It<00:17:30.720><c> was</c><00:17:31.339><c> probably</c><00:17:31.740><c> a</c><00:17:31.980><c> saying</c><00:17:32.299><c> in</c><00:17:32.839><c> Judah,</c><00:17:33.039><c> how</c><00:17:33.220><c> bad</c><00:17:33.500><c> Ahaz</c><00:17:33.779><c> was,</c>

00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:38.380
and<00:17:34.440><c> the</c><00:17:34.559><c> scriptures</c><00:17:34.779><c> are</c><00:17:34.940><c> saying,</c><00:17:35.240><c> yes,</c><00:17:35.980><c> this</c><00:17:36.240><c> is</c><00:17:36.599><c> that</c><00:17:37.160><c> Ahaz.</c>

00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:42.079
He<00:17:38.900><c> was</c><00:17:39.119><c> that</c><00:17:39.440><c> bad,</c><00:17:39.680><c> and</c><00:17:39.839><c> he</c><00:17:39.900><c> did</c><00:17:40.240><c> that</c><00:17:40.539><c> wickedly.</c>

00:17:43.299 --> 00:17:44.859
What<00:17:43.480><c> should</c><00:17:43.680><c> he</c><00:17:43.799><c> have</c><00:17:43.940><c> done?</c>

00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:49.039
God<00:17:46.640><c> brings</c><00:17:47.079><c> crisis</c><00:17:47.519><c> into</c><00:17:47.799><c> our</c><00:17:48.079><c> lives,</c>

00:17:49.099 --> 00:17:51.019
and<00:17:49.380><c> he</c><00:17:49.500><c> brings</c><00:17:49.779><c> crisis</c><00:17:50.180><c> into</c><00:17:50.440><c> our</c><00:17:50.700><c> lives</c>

00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:53.720

00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:57.420
And<00:17:54.440><c> if</c><00:17:54.579><c> we're</c><00:17:55.240><c> paying</c><00:17:55.579><c> attention</c><00:17:56.160><c> to</c><00:17:56.359><c> the</c><00:17:56.579><c> crises</c><00:17:56.940><c> that</c><00:17:57.240><c> come,</c>

00:17:57.519 --> 00:17:59.900
or<00:17:57.619><c> the</c><00:17:57.819><c> trials</c><00:17:58.119><c> that</c><00:17:58.400><c> come,</c><00:17:58.900><c> as</c><00:17:59.039><c> the</c><00:17:59.180><c> scripture</c><00:17:59.359><c> calls</c><00:17:59.680><c> them,</c>

00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.140
if<00:18:00.200><c> we're</c><00:18:00.400><c> paying</c><00:18:00.599><c> attention</c><00:18:01.039><c> to</c><00:18:01.259><c> those,</c>

00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:05.099
we<00:18:02.599><c> can</c><00:18:02.859><c> learn</c><00:18:03.200><c> the</c><00:18:03.400><c> lesson</c><00:18:03.680><c> that</c><00:18:03.900><c> God</c><00:18:04.160><c> has</c><00:18:04.519><c> for</c><00:18:04.759><c> us.</c>

00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:07.440
We<00:18:05.759><c> talked</c><00:18:06.000><c> yesterday</c><00:18:06.420><c> about</c><00:18:06.819><c> him</c><00:18:07.119><c> using</c>

00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:09.640
the<00:18:07.640><c> waters</c><00:18:07.900><c> of</c><00:18:08.220><c> Shiloha</c><00:18:08.700><c> to</c><00:18:08.880><c> change</c><00:18:09.119><c> us,</c>

00:18:10.019 --> 00:18:13.019
and<00:18:10.180><c> when</c><00:18:10.359><c> that's</c><00:18:10.660><c> not</c><00:18:11.039><c> strong</c><00:18:11.319><c> enough</c><00:18:11.619><c> to</c><00:18:11.859><c> change</c><00:18:12.079><c> us,</c>

00:18:13.220 --> 00:18:15.200
he<00:18:13.420><c> brings</c><00:18:13.799><c> the</c><00:18:14.059><c> waters</c><00:18:14.400><c> of</c><00:18:14.660><c> the</c><00:18:14.880><c> flood.</c>

00:18:15.420 --> 00:18:18.059
He<00:18:15.579><c> brings</c><00:18:15.940><c> crisis,</c><00:18:17.299><c> economic</c><00:18:17.660><c> crisis,</c>

00:18:18.059 --> 00:18:20.539
maybe<00:18:18.400><c> health</c><00:18:18.740><c> crisis</c><00:18:19.140><c> into</c><00:18:19.400><c> our</c><00:18:19.619><c> lives.</c>

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.279
Well,<00:18:21.160><c> James</c><00:18:21.240><c> talks</c><00:18:21.519><c> about</c><00:18:21.799><c> this</c><00:18:22.019><c> in</c><00:18:22.180><c> James</c><00:18:22.500><c> chapter</c><00:18:22.859><c> one.</c>

00:18:23.539 --> 00:18:24.380
So<00:18:23.640><c> let's</c><00:18:23.759><c> take</c><00:18:23.940><c> a</c><00:18:24.000><c> look</c><00:18:24.140><c> there,</c>

00:18:24.500 --> 00:18:27.259
and<00:18:24.599><c> let's</c><00:18:25.299><c> look</c><00:18:25.519><c> at</c><00:18:25.579><c> what</c><00:18:25.779><c> James</c><00:18:26.039><c> has</c><00:18:26.299><c> to</c><00:18:26.500><c> say.</c>

00:18:27.460 --> 00:18:30.400
So<00:18:27.700><c> Ahaz,</c><00:18:28.319><c> when</c><00:18:28.579><c> God</c><00:18:28.819><c> brought</c><00:18:29.079><c> these</c><00:18:29.359><c> trials</c><00:18:29.680><c> into</c><00:18:29.920><c> his</c><00:18:30.160><c> life,</c>

00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:32.619
Ahaz<00:18:31.039><c> went</c><00:18:31.400><c> farther</c><00:18:31.880><c> away</c><00:18:32.220><c> from</c><00:18:32.400><c> God.</c>

00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:36.299
He<00:18:32.880><c> ran</c><00:18:33.160><c> away</c><00:18:33.720><c> from</c><00:18:34.240><c> what</c><00:18:34.400><c> God</c><00:18:34.599><c> was</c><00:18:34.799><c> trying</c><00:18:34.940><c> to</c><00:18:35.140><c> teach</c><00:18:35.259><c> him.</c>

00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.480
But<00:18:36.500><c> James</c><00:18:36.680><c> says,</c><00:18:37.000><c> that's</c><00:18:37.059><c> not</c><00:18:37.259><c> what</c><00:18:37.380><c> we</c><00:18:37.599><c> should</c><00:18:37.720><c> do.</c>

00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:41.720
James<00:18:39.339><c> says,</c><00:18:39.960><c> my</c><00:18:40.099><c> brethren,</c><00:18:40.539><c> so</c><00:18:40.720><c> James</c><00:18:41.000><c> chapter</c><00:18:41.359><c> one,</c>

00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:46.180
my<00:18:43.779><c> brethren,</c><00:18:44.259><c> count</c><00:18:44.500><c> it</c><00:18:44.759><c> all</c><00:18:45.079><c> joy</c>

when<00:18:46.759><c> you</c><00:18:46.940><c> fall</c><00:18:47.299><c> into</c><00:18:47.700><c> diverse</c><00:18:48.160><c> temptations,</c>

00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:52.099
or<00:18:49.380><c> diverse</c><00:18:49.859><c> trials,</c><00:18:50.380><c> when</c><00:18:50.519><c> trials</c><00:18:50.819><c> come</c><00:18:51.019><c> into</c><00:18:51.140><c> your</c><00:18:51.299><c> life,</c>

00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:55.160
knowing<00:18:52.759><c> this,</c><00:18:53.160><c> that</c><00:18:53.299><c> the</c><00:18:53.619><c> trying</c><00:18:53.880><c> of</c><00:18:54.240><c> your</c><00:18:54.619><c> faith</c>

00:18:55.160 --> 00:19:00.759
worketh<00:18:55.779><c> patience,</c><00:18:57.680><c> but</c><00:18:57.819><c> let</c><00:18:58.140><c> patience</c><00:18:58.599><c> have</c><00:18:58.980><c> her</c><00:18:59.259><c> perfect</c><00:18:59.720><c> work,</c>

00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:03.420
that<00:19:01.200><c> she</c><00:19:01.339><c> may</c><00:19:01.539><c> be</c><00:19:01.839><c> perfect</c><00:19:02.119><c> and</c><00:19:02.420><c> entire,</c><00:19:02.839><c> wanting</c><00:19:03.160><c> nothing.</c>

00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.240
So<00:19:03.640><c> he</c><00:19:03.720><c> says,</c><00:19:04.700><c> face</c><00:19:04.799><c> up</c><00:19:05.019><c> to</c><00:19:05.140><c> the</c><00:19:05.319><c> trials</c><00:19:05.599><c> that</c><00:19:05.880><c> come,</c>

00:19:06.660 --> 00:19:08.779
because<00:19:06.900><c> if</c><00:19:07.059><c> you</c><00:19:07.299><c> do,</c><00:19:07.579><c> you're</c><00:19:07.819><c> going</c><00:19:07.940><c> to</c><00:19:08.180><c> learn</c><00:19:08.380><c> from</c><00:19:08.599><c> them,</c>

00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:10.859
and<00:19:08.900><c> God</c><00:19:09.059><c> is</c><00:19:09.259><c> going</c><00:19:09.400><c> to</c><00:19:09.700><c> bring</c><00:19:09.940><c> you</c><00:19:10.180><c> to</c><00:19:10.319><c> maturity</c>

00:19:10.859 --> 00:19:14.039
through<00:19:11.619><c> those</c><00:19:12.019><c> trials,</c><00:19:12.400><c> if</c><00:19:12.539><c> you</c><00:19:12.680><c> face</c><00:19:12.960><c> up</c><00:19:13.180><c> to</c><00:19:13.299><c> them.</c>

00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:15.279
And<00:19:14.359><c> then</c><00:19:14.539><c> he</c><00:19:14.559><c> says,</c><00:19:14.880><c> verse</c><00:19:14.980><c> five,</c>

00:19:15.500 --> 00:19:17.619
if<00:19:15.500><c> any</c><00:19:15.740><c> of</c><00:19:15.859><c> you</c><00:19:16.000><c> lacks</c><00:19:16.359><c> wisdom,</c>

00:19:17.819 --> 00:19:20.660
so<00:19:17.940><c> if</c><00:19:18.240><c> any</c><00:19:18.480><c> of</c><00:19:18.660><c> you</c><00:19:18.799><c> don't</c><00:19:19.160><c> understand</c><00:19:19.900><c> the</c><00:19:20.319><c> trials</c>

00:19:20.660 --> 00:19:22.019

00:19:22.299 --> 00:19:24.440
you<00:19:22.440><c> don't</c><00:19:22.680><c> know</c><00:19:22.859><c> why</c><00:19:23.119><c> they're</c><00:19:23.400><c> there,</c>

00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:28.799
you<00:19:24.839><c> don't</c><00:19:25.079><c> know</c><00:19:25.220><c> what</c><00:19:25.380><c> to</c><00:19:25.559><c> do</c><00:19:25.720><c> about</c><00:19:25.980><c> them,</c><00:19:27.400><c> ask</c><00:19:27.700><c> God.</c>

00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:34.000
Pray<00:19:30.220><c> about</c><00:19:30.539><c> it,</c><00:19:32.000><c> because</c><00:19:32.140><c> God</c><00:19:32.440><c> gives</c><00:19:32.720><c> to</c><00:19:33.019><c> all</c><00:19:33.299><c> men</c><00:19:33.519><c> liberally,</c>

00:19:34.099 --> 00:19:37.140
and<00:19:34.140><c> he</c><00:19:34.279><c> upbraideth</c><00:19:34.740><c> not,</c><00:19:35.960><c> and</c><00:19:36.140><c> it</c><00:19:36.319><c> shall</c><00:19:36.440><c> be</c><00:19:36.660><c> given</c><00:19:36.839><c> to</c><00:19:37.019><c> him.</c>

00:19:37.140 --> 00:19:40.079
So<00:19:37.279><c> what</c><00:19:37.420><c> God</c><00:19:37.640><c> will</c><00:19:37.839><c> do,</c><00:19:38.259><c> if</c><00:19:38.420><c> we</c><00:19:38.599><c> ask</c><00:19:38.940><c> God,</c>

00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:44.759
and<00:19:43.119><c> he'll</c><00:19:43.319><c> show</c><00:19:43.460><c> us</c><00:19:43.599><c> the</c><00:19:43.740><c> problem</c><00:19:44.059><c> that</c><00:19:44.240><c> we</c><00:19:44.440><c> have,</c>

00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:47.539
and<00:19:45.099><c> he'll</c><00:19:45.440><c> show</c><00:19:45.619><c> us</c><00:19:45.759><c> how</c><00:19:45.920><c> to</c><00:19:46.119><c> correct</c><00:19:46.319><c> that</c><00:19:46.599><c> problem.</c>

00:19:48.099 --> 00:19:50.279
Right,<00:19:48.480><c> so</c><00:19:48.819><c> Ahaz</c><00:19:49.200><c> doesn't</c><00:19:49.519><c> do</c><00:19:49.720><c> that</c><00:19:49.940><c> at</c><00:19:50.079><c> all.</c>

00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:53.319
Ahaz<00:19:50.740><c> instead</c><00:19:51.200><c> runs</c><00:19:51.740><c> away</c><00:19:52.039><c> from</c><00:19:52.200><c> that</c><00:19:52.440><c> problem,</c>

00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:54.940
and<00:19:53.759><c> how</c><00:19:53.880><c> many</c><00:19:54.000><c> times</c><00:19:54.240><c> have</c><00:19:54.420><c> we</c><00:19:54.559><c> done</c><00:19:54.700><c> that,</c>

00:19:55.059 --> 00:19:57.539
when<00:19:55.140><c> God</c><00:19:55.339><c> has</c><00:19:55.720><c> brought</c><00:19:55.940><c> a</c><00:19:56.200><c> trial</c><00:19:56.359><c> to</c><00:19:57.019><c> our</c><00:19:57.279><c> lives</c>

00:19:57.539 --> 00:19:59.079
that<00:19:57.700><c> we</c><00:19:57.859><c> just</c><00:19:58.000><c> kind</c><00:19:58.160><c> of</c><00:19:58.500><c> deke</c><00:19:58.700><c> it</c><00:19:58.900><c> out,</c>

00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:01.000
and<00:19:59.240><c> get</c><00:19:59.380><c> out</c><00:19:59.539><c> of</c><00:19:59.619><c> the</c><00:19:59.740><c> way</c><00:19:59.859><c> of</c><00:20:00.000><c> that</c><00:20:00.200><c> trial?</c>

00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:04.279
But<00:20:02.720><c> that's</c><00:20:02.880><c> not</c><00:20:03.019><c> what</c><00:20:03.119><c> we</c><00:20:03.319><c> should</c><00:20:03.440><c> do.</c>

00:20:04.339 --> 00:20:06.019
Instead<00:20:04.579><c> we</c><00:20:04.740><c> should</c><00:20:04.940><c> pray</c><00:20:05.180><c> about</c><00:20:05.420><c> it,</c>

00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:09.380
and<00:20:06.440><c> God</c><00:20:06.700><c> will</c><00:20:06.960><c> give</c><00:20:07.079><c> us</c><00:20:07.539><c> the</c><00:20:07.779><c> reason</c><00:20:08.059><c> for</c><00:20:08.240><c> those</c><00:20:08.480><c> trials.</c>

00:20:09.539 --> 00:20:13.380
Now,<00:20:11.079><c> how</c><00:20:11.200><c> do</c><00:20:11.359><c> you</c><00:20:11.359><c> think</c><00:20:11.519><c> the</c><00:20:11.720><c> answer</c><00:20:11.940><c> will</c><00:20:12.180><c> come?</c>

00:20:14.099 --> 00:20:15.339
Until<00:20:14.220><c> we</c><00:20:14.339><c> pray</c><00:20:14.500><c> about</c><00:20:14.720><c> it,</c><00:20:14.799><c> how</c><00:20:14.920><c> do</c><00:20:15.079><c> we</c><00:20:15.220><c> think?</c>

00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:17.180
Of<00:20:15.539><c> course,</c><00:20:16.180><c> we'll</c><00:20:16.420><c> pick</c><00:20:16.599><c> up</c><00:20:16.740><c> the</c><00:20:16.900><c> scriptures</c>

00:20:17.180 --> 00:20:20.539

00:20:20.579 --> 00:20:23.039
We'd<00:20:20.940><c> open</c><00:20:21.079><c> our</c><00:20:21.279><c> Bibles</c><00:20:21.519><c> up,</c><00:20:22.140><c> and</c><00:20:22.240><c> we'd</c><00:20:22.500><c> start</c><00:20:22.619><c> to</c><00:20:22.880><c> read</c>

00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:40.440

00:20:42.299 --> 00:20:43.880
Right,<00:20:42.539><c> have</c><00:20:42.619><c> you</c><00:20:42.740><c> ever</c><00:20:42.900><c> had</c><00:20:43.059><c> a</c><00:20:43.180><c> brother</c><00:20:43.359><c> or</c><00:20:43.579><c> sister</c>

that<00:20:52.880><c> helps</c><00:20:53.000><c> us</c><00:20:53.200><c> to</c><00:20:53.380><c> understand</c><00:20:53.759><c> that</c><00:20:54.019><c> problem,</c>

00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:57.539
and<00:20:54.579><c> how</c><00:20:54.779><c> we</c><00:20:54.960><c> could</c><00:20:55.059><c> get</c><00:20:55.240><c> around</c><00:20:56.119><c> that</c><00:20:56.640><c> problem.</c>

00:20:58.160 --> 00:20:59.480
You<00:20:58.220><c> ever</c><00:20:58.359><c> had</c><00:20:58.460><c> that</c><00:20:58.700><c> happen?</c>

00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:02.440
It's<00:21:00.240><c> hard,</c><00:21:00.579><c> isn't</c><00:21:00.619><c> it,</c><00:21:00.819><c> when</c><00:21:01.460><c> someone</c><00:21:01.720><c> comes</c><00:21:01.980><c> to</c><00:21:02.220><c> you</c>

00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:02.519
and<00:21:02.519><c> asks</c><00:21:02.519><c> you,</c><00:21:02.519><c> what's</c><00:21:02.519><c> the</c><00:21:02.519><c> problem?</c>

00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:04.460
And<00:21:02.740><c> says</c><00:21:02.920><c> that</c><00:21:03.200><c> to</c><00:21:03.400><c> you,</c><00:21:03.799><c> and</c><00:21:03.900><c> you're</c><00:21:04.140><c> thinking,</c>

00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:06.519
all<00:21:05.079><c> the</c><00:21:05.220><c> reasons</c><00:21:05.519><c> why,</c><00:21:05.819><c> no,</c><00:21:06.039><c> no,</c><00:21:06.200><c> no,</c><00:21:06.359><c> no,</c>

00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:09.240
you<00:21:06.599><c> don't</c><00:21:06.759><c> know</c><00:21:06.859><c> what</c><00:21:06.940><c> you're</c><00:21:07.160><c> talking</c><00:21:07.440><c> about,</c><00:21:08.339><c> right?</c>

00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:11.259
That's<00:21:10.299><c> very</c><00:21:10.500><c> helpful,</c><00:21:10.779><c> I</c><00:21:10.980><c> think.</c>

00:21:11.660 --> 00:21:14.400
It's<00:21:11.859><c> also</c><00:21:12.099><c> hard</c><00:21:12.420><c> for</c><00:21:12.619><c> the</c><00:21:12.759><c> person</c><00:21:13.039><c> that</c><00:21:13.440><c> does</c><00:21:13.720><c> that</c>

00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.799
to<00:21:14.779><c> step</c><00:21:15.019><c> up</c><00:21:15.279><c> and</c><00:21:15.559><c> to</c><00:21:15.740><c> come</c><00:21:15.859><c> to</c><00:21:16.059><c> you</c><00:21:16.240><c> and</c><00:21:16.519><c> to</c><00:21:16.740><c> mention</c><00:21:16.940><c> that</c><00:21:17.160><c> to</c><00:21:17.319><c> you.</c>

00:21:18.140 --> 00:21:19.420
But<00:21:18.279><c> that's</c><00:21:18.480><c> what</c><00:21:18.559><c> we</c><00:21:18.740><c> find</c><00:21:18.920><c> happens</c>

00:21:19.420 --> 00:21:21.579
in<00:21:19.740><c> the</c><00:21:19.940><c> situation</c><00:21:20.339><c> with</c><00:21:20.539><c> Hezekiah.</c>

00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.539
So<00:21:22.599><c> let's</c><00:21:22.779><c> look</c><00:21:23.000><c> at</c><00:21:23.339><c> the</c><00:21:24.779><c> dangers</c><00:21:25.200><c> that</c><00:21:25.400><c> he</c><00:21:25.500><c> was</c><00:21:25.720><c> facing.</c>

00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:31.220
We<00:21:27.799><c> talk</c><00:21:27.960><c> about</c><00:21:28.259><c> this</c><00:21:28.680><c> Assyrian</c><00:21:29.619><c> flood</c><00:21:30.019><c> that</c><00:21:30.200><c> was</c><00:21:30.420><c> coming,</c>

00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:34.539
and<00:21:31.400><c> we've</c><00:21:31.680><c> talked</c><00:21:31.839><c> about</c><00:21:32.140><c> how</c><00:21:32.500><c> bad</c><00:21:32.799><c> the</c><00:21:33.079><c> Assyrians</c><00:21:33.539><c> were.</c>

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:36.079
So<00:21:35.240><c> here's</c><00:21:35.579><c> a</c><00:21:35.759><c> description.</c>

00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:40.220
The<00:21:36.400><c> Assyrian</c><00:21:36.940><c> invasions</c><00:21:37.579><c> of</c><00:21:37.859><c> the</c><00:21:38.119><c> eighth</c><00:21:38.539><c> century</c><00:21:39.180><c> BC,</c>

00:21:40.819 --> 00:21:43.400
this<00:21:40.960><c> is</c><00:21:41.539><c> a</c><00:21:41.660><c> quote</c><00:21:41.799><c> from</c><00:21:41.980><c> the</c><00:21:42.099><c> New</c><00:21:42.240><c> International</c><00:21:42.900><c> Version</c>

00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:44.460
Study<00:21:43.700><c> Bible.</c>

00:21:44.500 --> 00:21:46.980
The<00:21:44.740><c> Assyrian</c><00:21:45.140><c> invasions</c><00:21:45.559><c> of</c><00:21:45.740><c> the</c><00:21:45.900><c> eighth</c><00:21:46.119><c> century</c><00:21:46.579><c> BC</c>

00:21:46.980 --> 00:21:50.539
were<00:21:47.220><c> the</c><00:21:47.339><c> most</c><00:21:47.700><c> traumatic</c><00:21:48.539><c> political</c><00:21:49.460><c> events</c>

00:21:50.660 --> 00:21:54.359
in<00:21:51.019><c> the</c><00:21:51.279><c> entire</c><00:21:51.740><c> history</c><00:21:52.759><c> of</c><00:21:53.339><c> Israel.</c>

00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:02.160
He<00:21:58.759><c> says,</c><00:21:59.279><c> the</c><00:21:59.279><c> brutal</c><00:21:59.779><c> Assyrian</c><00:22:00.559><c> style</c><00:22:01.059><c> of</c><00:22:01.500><c> warfare</c>

00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:06.660
relied<00:22:03.160><c> on</c><00:22:03.519><c> massive</c><00:22:04.039><c> armies</c><00:22:05.039><c> superbly</c><00:22:06.180><c> equipped</c>

00:22:06.660 --> 00:22:10.700
with<00:22:06.900><c> the</c><00:22:07.160><c> world's</c><00:22:07.880><c> first</c><00:22:08.819><c> siege</c><00:22:09.299><c> machines,</c>

00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:14.559
manipulated<00:22:11.660><c> by</c><00:22:12.019><c> an</c><00:22:12.279><c> efficient</c><00:22:12.619><c> core</c><00:22:13.180><c> of</c><00:22:13.599><c> engineers.</c>

00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.920
So,<00:22:15.640><c> great,</c><00:22:16.660><c> here</c><00:22:16.880><c> we</c><00:22:17.099><c> are,</c><00:22:18.119><c> we're</c><00:22:18.259><c> in</c><00:22:18.460><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:23.640
we're<00:22:20.519><c> thinking</c><00:22:20.859><c> about</c><00:22:21.200><c> the</c><00:22:21.420><c> prospects</c><00:22:21.799><c> of</c><00:22:21.980><c> an</c><00:22:22.160><c> Assyrian</c><00:22:22.619><c> attack</c>

00:22:23.779 --> 00:22:25.599
and<00:22:24.140><c> we</c><00:22:24.339><c> find</c><00:22:24.660><c> out</c><00:22:24.900><c> that</c><00:22:25.059><c> the</c><00:22:25.220><c> Assyrians</c>

00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:28.980
have<00:22:25.859><c> just</c><00:22:26.220><c> invented</c><00:22:26.759><c> this</c><00:22:27.259><c> new</c><00:22:28.019><c> weapon</c>

00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:34.400
that<00:22:29.640><c> can</c><00:22:30.440><c> get</c><00:22:30.980><c> past</c><00:22:31.660><c> the</c><00:22:32.380><c> walls</c><00:22:32.759><c> of</c><00:22:33.259><c> our</c><00:22:33.480><c> city.</c>

00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:38.160
We're<00:22:35.400><c> thinking,</c><00:22:36.119><c> that's</c><00:22:36.359><c> just</c><00:22:36.900><c> wonderful,</c><00:22:37.480><c> isn't</c><00:22:37.619><c> it?</c>

00:22:38.660 --> 00:22:40.400
Well,<00:22:38.819><c> here's</c><00:22:38.980><c> what</c><00:22:39.079><c> they</c><00:22:39.259><c> looked</c><00:22:39.460><c> like.</c>

00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:41.619
I<00:22:40.640><c> think</c><00:22:40.799><c> you</c><00:22:40.920><c> can</c><00:22:41.099><c> see</c><00:22:41.299><c> that.</c>

00:22:41.819 --> 00:22:45.819
That's<00:22:42.500><c> a</c><00:22:42.599><c> actual,</c><00:22:43.880><c> from</c><00:22:44.319><c> the</c><00:22:44.400><c> British</c><00:22:44.700><c> Museum,</c>

00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:47.160
it<00:22:45.900><c> was</c><00:22:46.119><c> carved</c><00:22:46.359><c> in</c><00:22:46.539><c> the</c><00:22:46.779><c> stones</c>

00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:50.480
and<00:22:47.579><c> it</c><00:22:47.900><c> showed</c><00:22:48.259><c> the</c><00:22:48.900><c> technology</c><00:22:49.480><c> of</c><00:22:49.819><c> the</c><00:22:50.000><c> Assyrians</c>

00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:53.240
and<00:22:50.880><c> it</c><00:22:50.940><c> looks</c><00:22:51.200><c> kind</c><00:22:51.680><c> of</c><00:22:52.339><c> hard</c><00:22:52.720><c> to</c><00:22:52.900><c> see</c><00:22:53.059><c> there</c>

00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.779
but<00:22:53.359><c> here's</c><00:22:53.599><c> another</c><00:22:53.819><c> picture</c><00:22:54.279><c> of</c><00:22:55.200><c> what</c><00:22:55.339><c> it</c><00:22:55.460><c> would</c><00:22:55.599><c> look</c><00:22:55.779><c> like.</c>

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:59.980
And<00:22:57.700><c> you</c><00:22:57.920><c> see,</c><00:22:59.039><c> what's</c><00:22:59.319><c> happening</c><00:22:59.539><c> right</c><00:22:59.839><c> here,</c>

00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:01.279
I<00:23:00.079><c> don't</c><00:23:00.200><c> know</c><00:23:00.279><c> if</c><00:23:00.319><c> you</c><00:23:00.460><c> can</c><00:23:00.619><c> see</c><00:23:00.799><c> that</c><00:23:01.000><c> or</c><00:23:01.119><c> not,</c>

00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:04.059
but<00:23:01.440><c> it</c><00:23:01.539><c> has</c><00:23:01.680><c> this</c><00:23:02.000><c> long</c><00:23:02.559><c> arm</c><00:23:03.000><c> that</c><00:23:03.240><c> reaches</c><00:23:03.480><c> out</c>

00:23:04.059 --> 00:23:06.859
and<00:23:04.500><c> it's</c><00:23:04.700><c> actually</c><00:23:05.140><c> starting</c><00:23:05.460><c> to</c><00:23:05.880><c> break</c><00:23:06.180><c> down</c>

00:23:06.859 --> 00:23:09.420
the<00:23:07.339><c> walls</c><00:23:07.759><c> of</c><00:23:08.500><c> the</c><00:23:08.680><c> city.</c>

00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:11.940
Well,<00:23:10.039><c> that's</c><00:23:10.200><c> what</c><00:23:10.380><c> the</c><00:23:10.539><c> Assyrians</c><00:23:10.920><c> had</c><00:23:11.180><c> just</c><00:23:11.500><c> invented</c>

00:23:11.940 --> 00:23:15.980
when<00:23:12.180><c> they</c><00:23:12.440><c> came</c><00:23:12.880><c> against</c><00:23:13.759><c> the</c><00:23:14.079><c> cities</c><00:23:14.440><c> of</c><00:23:14.740><c> Judah</c><00:23:15.019><c> and</c><00:23:15.420><c> Israel</c>

00:23:15.980 --> 00:23:19.900
and<00:23:16.559><c> they</c><00:23:16.759><c> would</c><00:23:16.980><c> take</c><00:23:17.279><c> city</c><00:23:17.680><c> after</c><00:23:18.140><c> city</c><00:23:18.779><c> after</c><00:23:19.279><c> city</c>

00:23:19.900 --> 00:23:23.539
with<00:23:20.599><c> this</c><00:23:21.279><c> machine</c><00:23:21.920><c> and</c><00:23:22.740><c> of</c><00:23:22.900><c> course</c><00:23:23.119><c> he's</c><00:23:23.299><c> got,</c>

00:23:23.539 --> 00:23:25.359
it<00:23:23.759><c> says</c><00:23:23.859><c> an</c><00:23:24.119><c> army</c><00:23:24.440><c> core</c><00:23:24.660><c> of</c><00:23:24.940><c> engineers</c>

00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:27.420
that<00:23:25.900><c> would</c><00:23:26.160><c> work</c><00:23:26.400><c> and</c><00:23:26.619><c> operate</c><00:23:26.859><c> this</c><00:23:27.119><c> machine.</c>

00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:29.240
They've<00:23:27.740><c> got</c><00:23:27.839><c> the</c><00:23:28.079><c> shelter</c><00:23:28.400><c> up</c><00:23:28.920><c> top</c>

00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:31.140
to<00:23:29.880><c> protect</c><00:23:30.220><c> them</c><00:23:30.400><c> from</c><00:23:30.579><c> the</c><00:23:30.859><c> arrows</c>

00:23:31.140 --> 00:23:33.019
and<00:23:31.559><c> they</c><00:23:31.680><c> could</c><00:23:31.880><c> shoot</c><00:23:32.079><c> the</c><00:23:32.319><c> arrows</c><00:23:32.559><c> back</c><00:23:32.900><c> up</c>

00:23:33.019 --> 00:23:34.740
at<00:23:33.180><c> the</c><00:23:33.359><c> people</c><00:23:33.559><c> on</c><00:23:33.740><c> the</c><00:23:33.920><c> wall</c>

00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:36.519
and<00:23:35.160><c> you</c><00:23:35.240><c> can</c><00:23:35.400><c> imagine</c><00:23:35.700><c> that</c><00:23:36.000><c> pulling</c><00:23:36.240><c> up</c>

00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:38.859
in<00:23:36.700><c> front</c><00:23:36.799><c> of</c><00:23:37.059><c> the</c><00:23:37.599><c> city</c><00:23:37.900><c> wall</c><00:23:38.119><c> of</c><00:23:38.359><c> Jerusalem</c>

00:23:38.859 --> 00:23:40.940
and<00:23:39.440><c> the</c><00:23:39.579><c> beginning</c><00:23:39.759><c> of</c><00:23:40.039><c> the</c><00:23:40.059><c> attack.</c>

00:23:41.579 --> 00:23:44.240
Well,<00:23:41.779><c> that's</c><00:23:42.279><c> the</c><00:23:42.539><c> crisis</c><00:23:42.960><c> that</c><00:23:43.180><c> they</c><00:23:43.400><c> faced,</c><00:23:43.960><c> right?</c>

00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:45.779
But<00:23:44.359><c> that</c><00:23:44.480><c> was</c><00:23:44.640><c> just</c><00:23:44.839><c> the</c><00:23:45.019><c> beginning.</c>

00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:49.019
The<00:23:46.559><c> New</c><00:23:46.740><c> International</c><00:23:47.299><c> Study</c><00:23:47.839><c> Bible</c><00:23:48.099><c> continues</c><00:23:48.519><c> and</c><00:23:48.720><c> says,</c>

00:23:49.019 --> 00:23:52.119
psychological<00:23:50.180><c> terror,</c><00:23:51.099><c> however,</c>

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:55.160
was<00:23:52.420><c> Assyria's</c><00:23:53.220><c> most</c><00:23:53.519><c> effective</c><00:23:54.180><c> weapon.</c>

00:23:55.500 --> 00:24:00.019
It<00:23:55.680><c> was</c><00:23:55.980><c> ruthlessly</c><00:23:56.460><c> applied</c><00:23:56.960><c> with</c><00:23:57.299><c> corpses</c><00:23:57.839><c> impaled</c><00:23:58.579><c> on</c><00:23:58.960><c> stakes,</c>

00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.740
severed<00:24:00.599><c> heads</c><00:24:01.099><c> stacked</c><00:24:01.819><c> in</c><00:24:02.480><c> heaps</c>

00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:06.859
and<00:24:04.220><c> captives</c><00:24:04.819><c> skinned</c><00:24:05.859><c> alive.</c>

00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:10.900
The<00:24:07.839><c> prophets</c><00:24:08.019><c> did</c><00:24:08.279><c> not</c><00:24:08.579><c> fail</c><00:24:08.779><c> to</c><00:24:09.140><c> scream</c><00:24:09.500><c> out</c><00:24:09.819><c> against</c><00:24:10.079><c> their</c><00:24:10.420><c> horror</c>

00:24:10.900 --> 00:24:13.180
while<00:24:11.420><c> at</c><00:24:11.559><c> the</c><00:24:11.720><c> same</c><00:24:11.960><c> time</c><00:24:12.259><c> pleading</c><00:24:12.640><c> with</c><00:24:12.839><c> the</c><00:24:13.000><c> people</c>

00:24:13.180 --> 00:24:15.000
to<00:24:13.400><c> see</c><00:24:13.559><c> God's</c><00:24:14.079><c> hand</c><00:24:14.240><c> in</c><00:24:14.480><c> history</c>

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.960
to<00:24:15.660><c> recognize</c><00:24:16.240><c> spiritual</c><00:24:16.799><c> causes</c><00:24:17.359><c> in</c><00:24:18.039><c> the</c><00:24:18.240><c> present</c><00:24:18.599><c> punishment.</c>

00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:22.859
Unbelievable,<00:24:21.200><c> the</c><00:24:21.299><c> things</c><00:24:21.480><c> that</c><00:24:21.660><c> they</c><00:24:21.799><c> would</c><00:24:22.019><c> do.</c>

00:24:22.980 --> 00:24:25.619
But<00:24:23.099><c> that's</c><00:24:23.440><c> the</c><00:24:23.579><c> things,</c><00:24:24.079><c> that's</c><00:24:24.339><c> what</c><00:24:24.460><c> they</c><00:24:24.619><c> were</c><00:24:24.799><c> facing.</c>

00:24:26.940 --> 00:24:29.920
So,<00:24:28.039><c> if</c><00:24:28.200><c> we're</c><00:24:28.339><c> gonna</c><00:24:28.440><c> add</c><00:24:28.680><c> the</c><00:24:28.940><c> second</c><00:24:29.319><c> step</c><00:24:29.680><c> then</c>

00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:31.019
to<00:24:30.079><c> Hezekiah's</c><00:24:30.680><c> preparation.</c>

00:24:31.140 --> 00:24:34.160
First<00:24:31.359><c> of</c><00:24:31.559><c> all,</c><00:24:32.799><c> we</c><00:24:32.900><c> saw</c><00:24:33.079><c> before</c><00:24:33.440><c> that</c><00:24:33.619><c> he</c><00:24:33.859><c> learned</c>

00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:36.259
to<00:24:34.480><c> trust</c><00:24:34.660><c> in</c><00:24:34.940><c> Yahweh,</c><00:24:36.160><c> right?</c>

00:24:36.259 --> 00:24:38.940
He<00:24:36.380><c> had</c><00:24:36.640><c> confidence</c><00:24:37.059><c> that</c><00:24:37.299><c> Yahweh</c><00:24:37.579><c> would</c><00:24:37.720><c> do</c><00:24:37.819><c> what</c><00:24:37.940><c> he</c><00:24:38.140><c> said</c>

00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:42.559
and<00:24:39.700><c> secondly,</c><00:24:40.160><c> God</c><00:24:40.500><c> brings</c><00:24:41.240><c> the</c><00:24:42.180><c> crisis</c>

00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:45.400
to<00:24:42.740><c> the</c><00:24:42.920><c> doorstep</c><00:24:43.900><c> of</c><00:24:44.619><c> Judah.</c>

00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:50.500
So,<00:24:47.960><c> we</c><00:24:48.039><c> have</c><00:24:48.119><c> a</c><00:24:48.240><c> young</c><00:24:48.420><c> king,</c><00:24:48.799><c> 25</c><00:24:49.319><c> years</c><00:24:49.599><c> old.</c>

00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:54.099
His<00:24:51.160><c> father</c><00:24:51.420><c> was</c><00:24:51.660><c> a</c><00:24:51.799><c> terrible</c><00:24:52.059><c> example</c><00:24:52.500><c> of</c><00:24:52.640><c> what</c><00:24:52.859><c> should</c><00:24:53.019><c> be</c><00:24:53.220><c> done</c>

00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:55.880
and<00:24:54.559><c> here's</c><00:24:54.759><c> what</c><00:24:54.859><c> he's</c><00:24:55.140><c> facing.</c>

00:24:56.579 --> 00:24:58.960
What<00:24:56.799><c> does</c><00:24:56.940><c> he</c><00:24:57.099><c> do</c><00:24:57.319><c> now</c><00:24:57.779><c> as</c><00:24:58.079><c> a</c><00:24:58.259><c> king?</c>

00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:04.140
Let's<00:25:00.380><c> look</c><00:25:00.539><c> at</c><00:25:00.700><c> 2</c><00:25:00.920><c> Chronicles</c><00:25:01.380><c> 29</c><00:25:02.019><c> and</c><00:25:02.480><c> verse</c><00:25:02.720><c> three.</c>

00:25:07.099 --> 00:25:10.099
So,<00:25:07.339><c> 2</c><00:25:07.440><c> Chronicles</c><00:25:07.859><c> 29</c><00:25:08.680><c> and</c><00:25:08.859><c> verse</c><00:25:09.079><c> three</c>

00:25:10.099 --> 00:25:13.599
is<00:25:10.500><c> a</c><00:25:10.640><c> little</c><00:25:10.759><c> bit</c><00:25:10.859><c> of</c><00:25:11.019><c> a</c><00:25:11.259><c> confusing</c><00:25:11.619><c> verse</c><00:25:11.940><c> for</c><00:25:12.200><c> us.</c>

00:25:15.460 --> 00:25:20.079
It<00:25:15.460><c> says,</c><00:25:16.579><c> he</c><00:25:16.839><c> in</c><00:25:17.680><c> the</c><00:25:17.940><c> first</c><00:25:18.200><c> year</c><00:25:18.460><c> of</c><00:25:18.680><c> his</c><00:25:18.980><c> reign,</c>

00:25:20.180 --> 00:25:22.819
in<00:25:20.380><c> the</c><00:25:20.579><c> first</c><00:25:20.920><c> month,</c><00:25:22.099><c> opened</c><00:25:22.380><c> the</c><00:25:22.579><c> doors</c>

00:25:22.819 --> 00:25:26.759
of<00:25:23.019><c> the</c><00:25:23.079><c> house</c><00:25:23.599><c> of</c><00:25:23.900><c> Yahweh</c><00:25:24.359><c> and</c><00:25:25.420><c> repaired</c><00:25:25.819><c> them.</c>

00:25:27.019 --> 00:25:28.380
I'm<00:25:27.240><c> familiar</c><00:25:27.539><c> with</c><00:25:27.700><c> that</c><00:25:27.920><c> verse,</c><00:25:28.140><c> I</c><00:25:28.259><c> think.</c>

00:25:28.420 --> 00:25:29.940
Let's<00:25:28.559><c> go</c><00:25:28.720><c> down</c><00:25:28.859><c> to</c><00:25:28.980><c> verse</c><00:25:29.400><c> 17,</c>

00:25:30.059 --> 00:25:32.940
because<00:25:30.220><c> it</c><00:25:30.660><c> adds</c><00:25:31.059><c> that</c><00:25:31.839><c> he</c><00:25:32.099><c> begins</c><00:25:32.400><c> this</c><00:25:32.640><c> action</c>

00:25:32.940 --> 00:25:35.599
actually<00:25:33.400><c> not</c><00:25:33.700><c> only</c><00:25:33.940><c> in</c><00:25:34.140><c> the</c><00:25:34.259><c> first</c><00:25:34.619><c> month,</c>

00:25:36.019 --> 00:25:37.859
but<00:25:36.180><c> that</c><00:25:36.299><c> he</c><00:25:36.440><c> begins</c><00:25:36.720><c> it</c><00:25:37.019><c> on</c><00:25:37.160><c> the</c><00:25:37.339><c> first</c><00:25:37.579><c> day</c>

00:25:37.859 --> 00:25:40.000
of<00:25:38.000><c> the</c><00:25:38.119><c> first</c><00:25:38.420><c> month,</c><00:25:38.759><c> right?</c>

00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:42.220
2<00:25:40.400><c> Chronicles</c><00:25:40.799><c> 29</c><00:25:41.319><c> verse</c><00:25:41.500><c> 17,</c><00:25:42.000><c> it</c><00:25:42.000><c> says,</c>

00:25:42.460 --> 00:25:45.720
now<00:25:42.460><c> they</c><00:25:42.680><c> began</c><00:25:43.059><c> on</c><00:25:43.279><c> the</c><00:25:43.480><c> first</c><00:25:43.720><c> day</c><00:25:44.359><c> of</c><00:25:44.700><c> the</c><00:25:44.900><c> first</c><00:25:45.240><c> month</c>

00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:49.079
to<00:25:46.460><c> sanctify</c><00:25:47.420><c> and</c><00:25:47.920><c> on</c><00:25:48.099><c> the</c><00:25:48.299><c> eighth</c><00:25:48.500><c> day</c><00:25:48.720><c> of</c><00:25:48.839><c> the</c><00:25:48.920><c> month,</c>

00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:53.279
they<00:25:49.220><c> came</c><00:25:49.460><c> to</c><00:25:49.619><c> the</c><00:25:49.819><c> porch</c><00:25:50.240><c> of</c><00:25:50.839><c> the</c><00:25:50.980><c> Lord,</c><00:25:52.059><c> okay?</c>

00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:56.240
So,<00:25:54.259><c> it's</c><00:25:54.400><c> a</c><00:25:54.500><c> bit</c><00:25:54.660><c> tricky</c><00:25:55.000><c> understanding</c><00:25:55.640><c> the</c><00:25:55.980><c> timing</c>

00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:58.259
of<00:25:56.420><c> what's</c><00:25:56.700><c> being</c><00:25:57.019><c> said</c><00:25:57.259><c> here.</c>

00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:03.319

00:26:03.819 --> 00:26:06.579
Now,<00:26:04.140><c> it</c><00:26:04.359><c> could</c><00:26:04.519><c> be</c><00:26:04.740><c> talking</c><00:26:04.940><c> about</c><00:26:05.200><c> two</c><00:26:05.420><c> different</c><00:26:05.700><c> things.</c>

00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:08.940
He<00:26:07.160><c> could</c><00:26:07.359><c> be</c><00:26:07.619><c> saying,</c><00:26:07.880><c> the</c><00:26:07.980><c> scriptures</c><00:26:08.180><c> could</c><00:26:08.500><c> be</c><00:26:08.720><c> saying</c>

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:14.059
that<00:26:09.079><c> on</c><00:26:09.279><c> the</c><00:26:09.539><c> first</c><00:26:09.859><c> day,</c><00:26:11.099><c> the</c><00:26:11.359><c> very</c><00:26:11.819><c> first</c><00:26:12.200><c> day</c><00:26:12.500><c> of</c><00:26:12.720><c> his</c><00:26:13.099><c> reign,</c>

00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:17.619
he<00:26:14.660><c> began</c><00:26:15.119><c> the</c><00:26:15.420><c> work</c><00:26:15.859><c> of</c><00:26:16.160><c> opening</c><00:26:16.380><c> up</c><00:26:16.619><c> the</c><00:26:16.779><c> temple.</c>

00:26:19.259 --> 00:26:22.900
Or<00:26:19.640><c> it</c><00:26:19.819><c> could</c><00:26:20.000><c> be</c><00:26:20.259><c> saying</c><00:26:20.480><c> that</c><00:26:20.660><c> on</c><00:26:20.859><c> the</c><00:26:21.119><c> first</c><00:26:21.500><c> day</c>

00:26:23.059 --> 00:26:28.240
of<00:26:23.339><c> the</c><00:26:23.579><c> calendar</c><00:26:24.039><c> year,</c><00:26:25.759><c> during</c><00:26:26.119><c> the</c><00:26:26.519><c> first</c><00:26:26.779><c> year</c><00:26:26.960><c> of</c><00:26:27.140><c> his</c><00:26:27.400><c> reign,</c>

00:26:28.460 --> 00:26:31.299
he<00:26:28.640><c> did</c><00:26:28.839><c> these</c><00:26:29.200><c> things</c><00:26:29.799><c> and</c><00:26:30.420><c> began</c><00:26:30.779><c> this</c><00:26:31.079><c> work.</c>

00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:32.240
Do<00:26:31.599><c> you</c><00:26:31.640><c> see</c><00:26:31.799><c> the</c><00:26:31.900><c> difference?</c>

00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:34.940
So,<00:26:32.960><c> it</c><00:26:33.039><c> would</c><00:26:33.240><c> be</c><00:26:33.480><c> like</c><00:26:33.720><c> saying</c><00:26:33.980><c> on</c><00:26:34.359><c> day</c><00:26:34.680><c> one,</c>

00:26:34.940 --> 00:26:38.380
when<00:26:35.079><c> he</c><00:26:35.259><c> became</c><00:26:35.599><c> king,</c><00:26:36.559><c> he</c><00:26:36.819><c> did</c><00:26:36.980><c> these</c><00:26:37.279><c> things.</c>

00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:42.380
Or<00:26:38.680><c> it</c><00:26:38.819><c> would</c><00:26:39.039><c> be</c><00:26:39.180><c> like</c><00:26:39.440><c> saying,</c><00:26:41.259><c> Hezekiah</c><00:26:41.599><c> became</c><00:26:42.019><c> king</c>

00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:45.140
and<00:26:42.640><c> then</c><00:26:42.880><c> on</c><00:26:43.180><c> January</c><00:26:43.740><c> the</c><00:26:44.039><c> first,</c>

00:26:45.619 --> 00:26:49.380
he<00:26:45.779><c> began</c><00:26:46.119><c> the</c><00:26:46.359><c> work</c><00:26:46.579><c> of</c><00:26:46.779><c> opening</c><00:26:47.160><c> up</c><00:26:47.579><c> the</c><00:26:47.740><c> temple</c><00:26:48.180><c> again.</c>

00:26:49.980 --> 00:26:54.539
And<00:26:50.079><c> most</c><00:26:50.859><c> commentaries</c><00:26:51.779><c> agree</c><00:26:52.200><c> with</c><00:26:52.420><c> this</c><00:26:52.660><c> being</c><00:26:53.200><c> the</c><00:26:53.799><c> latter.</c>

00:26:54.859 --> 00:26:57.900
Let's<00:26:55.380><c> just</c><00:26:55.460><c> glance</c><00:26:55.680><c> back</c><00:26:56.019><c> a</c><00:26:56.140><c> second</c><00:26:56.339><c> at</c><00:26:56.559><c> verse</c><00:26:56.779><c> three.</c>

00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:02.420
He,<00:26:58.440><c> in</c><00:26:58.519><c> the</c><00:26:58.700><c> first</c><00:26:58.980><c> year</c><00:26:59.160><c> of</c><00:26:59.279><c> his</c><00:26:59.539><c> reign,</c><00:27:00.440><c> in</c><00:27:01.099><c> the</c><00:27:01.299><c> first</c><00:27:01.559><c> month,</c>

00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:05.240
right,<00:27:03.539><c> so</c><00:27:03.680><c> it's</c><00:27:03.799><c> not</c><00:27:04.039><c> in</c><00:27:04.259><c> the</c><00:27:04.440><c> first</c><00:27:04.839><c> month</c>

00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:06.859
of<00:27:05.539><c> the</c><00:27:05.660><c> first</c><00:27:05.920><c> year</c><00:27:06.160><c> of</c><00:27:06.299><c> his</c><00:27:06.559><c> reign.</c>

00:27:06.859 --> 00:27:09.640
Do<00:27:07.160><c> you</c><00:27:07.720><c> see</c><00:27:07.859><c> the</c><00:27:07.960><c> difference</c><00:27:08.259><c> between</c><00:27:08.660><c> the</c><00:27:08.819><c> two?</c>

00:27:10.259 --> 00:27:11.140
Hopefully<00:27:10.500><c> that</c><00:27:10.700><c> makes</c><00:27:10.920><c> sense.</c>

00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:13.920
And<00:27:11.299><c> we'll</c><00:27:11.720><c> add</c><00:27:11.880><c> some</c><00:27:12.079><c> more</c><00:27:12.259><c> to</c><00:27:12.380><c> that</c><00:27:12.700><c> as</c><00:27:12.940><c> we</c><00:27:13.140><c> go</c><00:27:13.319><c> through</c><00:27:13.539><c> here.</c>

00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:17.779
So,<00:27:14.539><c> it's</c><00:27:14.740><c> as</c><00:27:14.880><c> if</c><00:27:14.940><c> he</c><00:27:15.099><c> was</c><00:27:15.259><c> saying</c><00:27:15.440><c> on</c><00:27:15.720><c> January</c><00:27:16.240><c> the</c><00:27:16.539><c> first,</c>

00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:20.700
after<00:27:18.799><c> he</c><00:27:19.039><c> became</c><00:27:19.319><c> king,</c><00:27:19.579><c> or</c><00:27:19.720><c> the</c><00:27:19.819><c> first</c><00:27:20.019><c> day</c><00:27:20.160><c> of</c><00:27:20.359><c> the</c><00:27:20.500><c> year</c>

00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:23.680
after<00:27:20.960><c> he</c><00:27:21.180><c> became</c><00:27:21.380><c> king,</c><00:27:21.960><c> he</c><00:27:22.160><c> began</c><00:27:22.420><c> to</c><00:27:22.619><c> do</c><00:27:22.720><c> this</c><00:27:22.980><c> work.</c>

00:27:24.099 --> 00:27:27.079
So,<00:27:24.420><c> Kylan</c><00:27:24.599><c> and</c><00:27:24.859><c> Dilich,</c><00:27:25.440><c> a</c><00:27:25.819><c> commentary</c><00:27:26.180><c> says,</c>

00:27:27.180 --> 00:27:28.980
the<00:27:27.279><c> statement</c><00:27:27.640><c> in</c><00:27:27.819><c> the</c><00:27:28.000><c> first</c><00:27:28.240><c> year</c><00:27:28.400><c> of</c><00:27:28.539><c> his</c><00:27:28.779><c> reign,</c>

00:27:29.059 --> 00:27:31.859
in<00:27:29.259><c> the</c><00:27:29.440><c> first</c><00:27:29.700><c> month,</c><00:27:30.660><c> and</c><00:27:30.799><c> in</c><00:27:30.940><c> parentheses</c><00:27:31.359><c> it</c><00:27:31.700><c> says,</c>

00:27:32.059 --> 00:27:34.400
not<00:27:32.140><c> in</c><00:27:32.299><c> the</c><00:27:32.440><c> first</c><00:27:32.740><c> year,</c><00:27:33.140><c> in</c><00:27:33.299><c> the</c><00:27:33.460><c> first</c><00:27:33.660><c> month</c><00:27:33.839><c> of</c><00:27:34.000><c> his</c><00:27:34.200><c> reign.</c>

00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:38.039
So,<00:27:35.039><c> making</c><00:27:35.339><c> that</c><00:27:35.660><c> distinction</c><00:27:36.119><c> is</c><00:27:36.960><c> sufficiently</c><00:27:37.500><c> explained</c>

00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:40.000
if<00:27:38.240><c> Hezekiah</c><00:27:38.819><c> ascended</c><00:27:39.200><c> to</c><00:27:39.420><c> the</c><00:27:39.660><c> throne</c>

00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:43.140
in<00:27:40.720><c> one</c><00:27:40.880><c> of</c><00:27:41.019><c> the</c><00:27:41.200><c> last</c><00:27:41.500><c> months</c><00:27:41.839><c> of</c><00:27:42.119><c> the</c><00:27:42.299><c> calendar</c><00:27:42.660><c> year.</c>

00:27:43.579 --> 00:27:45.220
So,<00:27:43.880><c> if</c><00:27:44.079><c> we</c><00:27:44.200><c> were</c><00:27:44.319><c> thinking</c><00:27:44.519><c> of</c><00:27:44.680><c> our</c><00:27:44.940><c> calendar</c>

00:27:45.220 --> 00:27:47.339
and<00:27:45.500><c> ours</c><00:27:45.720><c> is</c><00:27:45.980><c> different,</c><00:27:46.559><c> but</c><00:27:46.640><c> if</c><00:27:46.759><c> we</c><00:27:46.880><c> were</c><00:27:46.980><c> thinking</c>

00:27:47.339 --> 00:27:51.079
maybe<00:27:47.799><c> he</c><00:27:48.039><c> ascended</c><00:27:48.299><c> to</c><00:27:48.519><c> the</c><00:27:48.700><c> throne</c><00:27:48.859><c> in</c><00:27:49.019><c> October</c><00:27:49.440><c> or</c><00:27:50.079><c> November,</c>

00:27:51.500 --> 00:27:52.799
and<00:27:51.640><c> then</c><00:27:51.720><c> on</c><00:27:51.920><c> January</c><00:27:52.359><c> the</c><00:27:52.599><c> first,</c>

00:27:52.859 --> 00:27:56.960
he<00:27:52.980><c> began</c><00:27:53.319><c> the</c><00:27:53.579><c> work</c><00:27:53.940><c> of</c><00:27:54.940><c> cleaning</c><00:27:55.220><c> up</c><00:27:55.440><c> the</c><00:27:55.599><c> temple,</c><00:27:56.500><c> okay?</c>

00:27:57.299 --> 00:27:59.660
He<00:27:57.539><c> says,</c><00:27:58.039><c> he</c><00:27:58.160><c> ascended</c><00:27:58.359><c> the</c><00:27:58.599><c> throne,</c><00:27:58.779><c> yeah,</c><00:27:59.019><c> you</c><00:27:59.160><c> get</c><00:27:59.319><c> the</c><00:27:59.480><c> idea.</c>

00:27:59.900 --> 00:28:01.259
So,<00:28:00.079><c> Nisan</c><00:28:00.420><c> is</c><00:28:00.579><c> the</c><00:28:00.759><c> first</c><00:28:00.980><c> day,</c>

00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:03.640
first<00:28:01.700><c> month</c><00:28:01.940><c> of</c><00:28:02.160><c> the</c><00:28:02.500><c> Jewish</c><00:28:02.740><c> calendar.</c>

00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:05.339
Okay,<00:28:04.519><c> does</c><00:28:04.640><c> that</c><00:28:04.779><c> make</c><00:28:04.920><c> sense?</c>

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:07.339
Hopefully<00:28:05.839><c> that</c><00:28:06.460><c> fits.</c>

00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:10.680
So,<00:28:07.640><c> he</c><00:28:07.819><c> begins</c><00:28:08.160><c> this</c><00:28:08.519><c> work</c><00:28:08.740><c> sometime</c><00:28:09.319><c> after</c>

00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:12.180
he<00:28:11.319><c> comes</c><00:28:11.640><c> to</c><00:28:11.839><c> the</c><00:28:12.039><c> throne.</c>

00:28:12.259 --> 00:28:15.299
Maybe<00:28:12.460><c> it</c><00:28:12.599><c> was</c><00:28:12.799><c> weeks,</c><00:28:13.960><c> maybe</c><00:28:14.200><c> it</c><00:28:14.339><c> was</c><00:28:14.539><c> a</c><00:28:14.619><c> period</c><00:28:14.880><c> of</c><00:28:15.099><c> months,</c>

00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:16.279
we<00:28:15.480><c> really</c><00:28:15.720><c> don't</c><00:28:15.960><c> know.</c>

00:28:16.740 --> 00:28:18.680
But<00:28:16.920><c> he</c><00:28:17.099><c> begins</c><00:28:17.440><c> this</c><00:28:17.859><c> work.</c>

00:28:18.900 --> 00:28:22.359
So,<00:28:19.039><c> what</c><00:28:19.200><c> was</c><00:28:19.400><c> it</c><00:28:19.680><c> like</c><00:28:20.319><c> in</c><00:28:21.140><c> the</c><00:28:21.339><c> time</c><00:28:21.539><c> when</c><00:28:21.759><c> Hezekiah</c>

00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:24.700
had<00:28:23.019><c> been</c><00:28:23.259><c> crowned</c><00:28:23.599><c> as</c><00:28:23.859><c> king,</c>

00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:28.539
and<00:28:25.440><c> he</c><00:28:25.559><c> was</c><00:28:25.740><c> wondering</c><00:28:26.160><c> what</c><00:28:26.839><c> he</c><00:28:27.339><c> should</c><00:28:27.579><c> do?</c>

00:28:29.019 --> 00:28:30.779
And<00:28:29.180><c> I</c><00:28:29.299><c> kinda</c><00:28:29.440><c> picture</c><00:28:29.700><c> the</c><00:28:29.940><c> scene</c><00:28:30.140><c> being</c><00:28:30.420><c> kinda</c><00:28:30.619><c> like</c>

00:28:30.779 --> 00:28:33.619
when<00:28:30.880><c> Rehoboam</c><00:28:31.960><c> became</c><00:28:32.460><c> king,</c><00:28:32.779><c> right?</c>

00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:35.299
What<00:28:33.819><c> did</c><00:28:33.980><c> Rehoboam</c><00:28:34.380><c> do?</c>

00:28:35.539 --> 00:28:38.839
He<00:28:35.779><c> consulted</c><00:28:36.240><c> with</c><00:28:36.779><c> the</c><00:28:37.119><c> wise</c><00:28:37.680><c> elders,</c>

00:28:39.140 --> 00:28:42.940
he<00:28:39.259><c> consulted</c><00:28:39.640><c> with</c><00:28:40.000><c> the</c><00:28:40.299><c> less</c><00:28:40.819><c> wise,</c><00:28:41.500><c> youngers,</c><00:28:42.359><c> right?</c>

00:28:43.339 --> 00:28:46.640
And<00:28:43.519><c> he</c><00:28:43.619><c> came</c><00:28:43.819><c> to</c><00:28:43.960><c> a</c><00:28:44.079><c> conclusion</c><00:28:44.480><c> as</c><00:28:44.720><c> to</c><00:28:44.799><c> what</c><00:28:45.180><c> he</c><00:28:45.480><c> wanted</c><00:28:45.720><c> to</c><00:28:45.940><c> do.</c>

00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:48.099
Well,<00:28:47.059><c> imagine</c><00:28:47.440><c> him</c><00:28:47.700><c> consulting,</c>

00:28:48.180 --> 00:28:50.099
and<00:28:48.299><c> there</c><00:28:48.359><c> were</c><00:28:48.500><c> several</c><00:28:48.839><c> different</c><00:28:49.180><c> trains</c><00:28:49.339><c> of</c><00:28:49.619><c> thought</c>

00:28:50.099 --> 00:28:51.960
in<00:28:50.579><c> Judah</c><00:28:50.759><c> at</c><00:28:50.980><c> the</c><00:28:51.140><c> time.</c>

00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:54.579
Some<00:28:52.400><c> were</c><00:28:52.579><c> saying,</c><00:28:52.900><c> you</c><00:28:53.160><c> know,</c><00:28:53.440><c> don't</c><00:28:53.539><c> worry</c><00:28:53.859><c> about</c><00:28:54.079><c> it.</c>

00:28:54.980 --> 00:28:57.299
The<00:28:55.160><c> Assyrians</c><00:28:55.539><c> are</c><00:28:55.859><c> soon</c><00:28:56.099><c> gonna</c><00:28:56.259><c> be</c><00:28:56.480><c> gone.</c>

00:28:57.380 --> 00:28:58.660
Like,<00:28:57.559><c> that's</c><00:28:57.700><c> what</c><00:28:57.839><c> the</c><00:28:58.079><c> prophets</c><00:28:58.319><c> were</c><00:28:58.500><c> saying.</c>

00:28:58.660 --> 00:29:01.019
They<00:28:58.779><c> were</c><00:28:58.900><c> saying,</c><00:28:59.599><c> peace,</c><00:28:59.859><c> peace.</c>

00:29:02.019 --> 00:29:04.079
Some<00:29:02.140><c> were</c><00:29:02.279><c> saying,</c><00:29:02.599><c> you</c><00:29:02.680><c> know,</c><00:29:02.960><c> God's</c><00:29:03.359><c> never</c><00:29:03.680><c> gonna</c><00:29:03.859><c> let</c>

00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:06.440
the<00:29:04.220><c> city</c><00:29:04.460><c> of</c><00:29:04.700><c> Jerusalem</c><00:29:05.119><c> be</c><00:29:05.420><c> destroyed</c>

00:29:06.460 --> 00:29:08.740
because<00:29:06.859><c> He</c><00:29:07.599><c> dwells</c><00:29:07.980><c> here,</c><00:29:08.359><c> right?</c>

00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:11.119
This<00:29:09.079><c> is</c><00:29:09.240><c> the</c><00:29:09.420><c> place</c><00:29:09.559><c> He's</c><00:29:09.960><c> chosen</c><00:29:10.220><c> to</c><00:29:10.460><c> place</c><00:29:10.599><c> His</c><00:29:10.859><c> name.</c>

00:29:11.380 --> 00:29:13.160
Don't<00:29:11.599><c> worry</c><00:29:11.920><c> about</c><00:29:12.200><c> it.</c>

00:29:13.900 --> 00:29:16.900
And<00:29:14.059><c> some</c><00:29:14.180><c> were</c><00:29:14.299><c> saying,</c><00:29:15.440><c> there's</c><00:29:15.559><c> nothing</c><00:29:15.759><c> we</c><00:29:15.920><c> can</c><00:29:16.099><c> do</c><00:29:16.259><c> about</c><00:29:16.500><c> it.</c>

00:29:17.259 --> 00:29:18.339
What<00:29:17.440><c> can</c><00:29:17.579><c> we</c><00:29:17.660><c> do</c><00:29:17.779><c> about</c><00:29:17.940><c> it</c><00:29:18.160><c> anyway?</c>

00:29:18.380 --> 00:29:20.839
Let's<00:29:18.619><c> just</c><00:29:18.880><c> eat,</c><00:29:19.079><c> drink,</c><00:29:19.519><c> and</c><00:29:19.720><c> be</c><00:29:19.920><c> merry,</c><00:29:20.299><c> right?</c>

00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:22.740
There's<00:29:21.359><c> nothing</c><00:29:21.559><c> to</c><00:29:21.779><c> do.</c>

00:29:23.539 --> 00:29:25.599
But<00:29:23.799><c> then</c><00:29:23.920><c> there</c><00:29:24.000><c> were</c><00:29:24.160><c> some</c><00:29:24.359><c> that</c><00:29:24.519><c> were</c><00:29:24.680><c> saying,</c>

00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:27.619
we've<00:29:26.160><c> gotta</c><00:29:26.279><c> do</c><00:29:26.559><c> something.</c>

00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:30.200
Because<00:29:28.680><c> they</c><00:29:28.819><c> were</c><00:29:29.039><c> at</c><00:29:29.240><c> that</c><00:29:29.440><c> point</c><00:29:29.579><c> in</c><00:29:29.740><c> the</c><00:29:29.920><c> crisis</c>

00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:34.380
where<00:29:30.420><c> they</c><00:29:30.599><c> knew</c><00:29:30.799><c> they</c><00:29:31.039><c> had</c><00:29:31.359><c> to</c><00:29:31.559><c> do</c><00:29:31.779><c> something</c><00:29:32.279><c> about</c><00:29:33.220><c> the</c><00:29:33.480><c> problem.</c>

00:29:35.099 --> 00:29:37.180
And<00:29:35.119><c> of</c><00:29:35.279><c> course,</c><00:29:35.619><c> what</c><00:29:35.619><c> would</c><00:29:35.740><c> Hezekiah</c><00:29:36.140><c> have</c><00:29:36.279><c> been</c><00:29:36.460><c> doing?</c>

00:29:37.980 --> 00:29:39.380
Here's<00:29:38.220><c> the</c><00:29:38.460><c> trial.</c>

00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:42.119
He<00:29:39.900><c> was</c><00:29:40.079><c> listening</c><00:29:40.339><c> to</c><00:29:40.619><c> James,</c><00:29:41.019><c> although</c><00:29:41.259><c> James,</c><00:29:41.700><c> you</c><00:29:42.019><c> know,</c>

00:29:42.180 --> 00:29:42.819
was<00:29:42.299><c> much</c><00:29:42.559><c> later.</c>

00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:45.119
He'd<00:29:43.359><c> have</c><00:29:43.420><c> been</c><00:29:43.579><c> listening</c><00:29:43.819><c> to</c><00:29:44.039><c> the</c><00:29:44.160><c> advice</c><00:29:44.420><c> that</c><00:29:44.619><c> James</c><00:29:44.880><c> gives,</c>

00:29:45.220 --> 00:29:49.000
which<00:29:45.359><c> is</c><00:29:45.539><c> to</c><00:29:45.740><c> pray</c><00:29:45.900><c> for</c><00:29:46.160><c> wisdom</c><00:29:46.619><c> to</c><00:29:47.579><c> know</c><00:29:47.740><c> what</c><00:29:47.940><c> to</c><00:29:48.119><c> do.</c>

00:29:49.619 --> 00:29:51.180
And<00:29:49.799><c> what</c><00:29:49.920><c> does</c><00:29:50.119><c> God</c><00:29:50.319><c> do?</c>

00:29:52.019 --> 00:29:54.660
God<00:29:52.240><c> sends</c><00:29:52.519><c> him</c><00:29:53.619><c> Micah.</c>

00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:57.940
And<00:29:55.819><c> Micah</c><00:29:56.019><c> comes</c><00:29:56.299><c> to</c><00:29:56.519><c> him,</c><00:29:57.000><c> and</c><00:29:57.099><c> Micah</c><00:29:57.339><c> tells</c><00:29:57.599><c> him</c>

00:29:57.940 --> 00:30:01.640
exactly<00:29:58.440><c> what</c><00:29:58.680><c> to</c><00:29:58.859><c> do,</c><00:29:59.559><c> exactly</c><00:29:59.940><c> what</c><00:30:00.220><c> the</c><00:30:00.420><c> problem</c><00:30:00.740><c> was.</c>

00:30:02.099 --> 00:30:03.900
And<00:30:02.180><c> you</c><00:30:02.240><c> know,</c><00:30:02.299><c> we</c><00:30:02.359><c> don't</c><00:30:02.579><c> find</c><00:30:02.900><c> clues</c><00:30:03.220><c> to</c><00:30:03.480><c> that</c>

00:30:03.900 --> 00:30:06.119
in<00:30:04.240><c> the</c><00:30:04.440><c> records</c><00:30:04.799><c> of</c><00:30:05.740><c> Micah.</c>

00:30:06.220 --> 00:30:06.799
We<00:30:06.259><c> really</c><00:30:06.500><c> don't.</c>

00:30:06.900 --> 00:30:08.220
We<00:30:07.119><c> kinda</c><00:30:07.279><c> see</c><00:30:07.480><c> that</c><00:30:07.660><c> in</c><00:30:07.839><c> Micah.</c>

00:30:08.700 --> 00:30:11.779
We<00:30:08.819><c> don't</c><00:30:09.000><c> find</c><00:30:09.220><c> records</c><00:30:09.539><c> in</c><00:30:09.799><c> Kings</c><00:30:10.000><c> or</c><00:30:10.200><c> Chronicles</c><00:30:10.740><c> or</c><00:30:10.920><c> Isaiah.</c>

00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:14.519
We<00:30:12.400><c> actually</c><00:30:12.619><c> find</c><00:30:12.819><c> it</c><00:30:12.980><c> in</c><00:30:13.079><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:30:14.319><c> right?</c>

00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:17.480
Let's<00:30:14.700><c> take</c><00:30:14.880><c> a</c><00:30:14.920><c> look</c><00:30:15.039><c> at</c><00:30:15.119><c> Jeremiah</c><00:30:15.500><c> chapter</c><00:30:15.799><c> 26.</c>

00:30:19.500 --> 00:30:24.019
Jeremiah<00:30:19.799><c> chapter</c><00:30:20.140><c> 26,</c><00:30:22.259><c> and</c><00:30:22.380><c> at</c><00:30:22.519><c> verse</c><00:30:22.779><c> 18.</c>

00:30:30.140 --> 00:30:35.299
So<00:30:30.700><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:30:32.740><c> similar</c><00:30:33.000><c> problem,</c><00:30:33.500><c> similar</c><00:30:33.799><c> type</c><00:30:34.059><c> situation,</c>

00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:39.019
to<00:30:35.420><c> what</c><00:30:35.579><c> was</c><00:30:35.759><c> happening</c><00:30:36.039><c> in</c><00:30:36.259><c> the</c><00:30:36.299><c> days</c><00:30:36.839><c> of</c><00:30:37.119><c> Hezekiah.</c>

00:30:40.980 --> 00:30:43.279
And<00:30:41.119><c> Micah,</c><00:30:41.500><c> it</c><00:30:41.500><c> says</c><00:30:41.839><c> in</c><00:30:42.079><c> Jeremiah</c><00:30:42.359><c> 26,</c><00:30:42.920><c> verse</c><00:30:43.059><c> 18,</c>

00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:47.640
it<00:30:43.359><c> says,</c><00:30:43.920><c> Micah</c><00:30:44.720><c> the</c><00:30:45.000><c> Morashite</c><00:30:46.259><c> prophesied</c>

00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:51.339
in<00:30:47.880><c> the</c><00:30:48.079><c> days</c><00:30:48.480><c> of</c><00:30:48.759><c> Hezekiah,</c><00:30:49.819><c> King</c><00:30:50.119><c> of</c><00:30:50.500><c> Judah.</c>

00:30:51.660 --> 00:30:54.140
And<00:30:51.940><c> he</c><00:30:52.240><c> spake</c><00:30:52.460><c> to</c><00:30:52.720><c> all</c><00:30:52.960><c> the</c><00:30:53.160><c> people</c><00:30:53.359><c> of</c><00:30:53.559><c> Judah</c><00:30:53.759><c> saying,</c>

00:30:54.140 --> 00:30:56.940
Thus<00:30:54.720><c> saith</c><00:30:55.039><c> Yahweh</c><00:30:55.460><c> of</c><00:30:55.640><c> hosts.</c>

00:30:57.079 --> 00:30:58.940
Zion<00:30:57.220><c> shall</c><00:30:57.460><c> be</c><00:30:57.740><c> plowed</c><00:30:58.019><c> like</c><00:30:58.259><c> a</c><00:30:58.500><c> field,</c>

00:30:59.339 --> 00:31:01.519
and<00:30:59.519><c> Jerusalem</c><00:30:59.940><c> shall</c><00:31:00.180><c> become</c><00:31:00.519><c> heaps,</c>

00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:05.500
and<00:31:01.819><c> the</c><00:31:01.980><c> mountain</c><00:31:02.420><c> of</c><00:31:04.980><c> the</c><00:31:05.180><c> house</c>

00:31:05.500 --> 00:31:08.500
as<00:31:05.759><c> the</c><00:31:06.000><c> high</c><00:31:06.279><c> places</c><00:31:06.720><c> of</c><00:31:07.339><c> a</c><00:31:07.579><c> forest.</c>

00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:11.859
So<00:31:10.319><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:31:11.039><c> in</c><00:31:11.140><c> the</c><00:31:11.160><c> book</c><00:31:11.339><c> of</c><00:31:11.539><c> Jeremiah,</c>

00:31:11.980 --> 00:31:14.559
we<00:31:12.099><c> have</c><00:31:12.279><c> a</c><00:31:12.500><c> comment</c><00:31:12.839><c> telling</c><00:31:13.160><c> us</c><00:31:13.380><c> some</c><00:31:13.619><c> more</c><00:31:13.900><c> information</c>

00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:19.299
about<00:31:15.460><c> the</c><00:31:16.039><c> interaction</c><00:31:16.539><c> between</c><00:31:17.099><c> Micah</c><00:31:17.799><c> and</c><00:31:18.359><c> Hezekiah,</c>

00:31:19.500 --> 00:31:21.299
and<00:31:19.839><c> what</c><00:31:20.079><c> Micah</c><00:31:20.440><c> did.</c>

00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:23.180
So<00:31:21.700><c> we</c><00:31:21.779><c> go</c><00:31:21.900><c> down</c><00:31:22.079><c> to</c><00:31:22.259><c> verse</c><00:31:22.559><c> 19.</c>

00:31:23.180 --> 00:31:25.339
And<00:31:23.759><c> I</c><00:31:24.019><c> guess</c><00:31:24.180><c> before</c><00:31:24.460><c> we</c><00:31:24.559><c> go</c><00:31:24.740><c> too</c><00:31:24.960><c> far</c><00:31:25.079><c> with</c><00:31:25.240><c> this,</c>

00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:27.200
I<00:31:25.420><c> should</c><00:31:25.539><c> give</c><00:31:25.680><c> you</c><00:31:25.779><c> a</c><00:31:25.819><c> little</c><00:31:25.940><c> bit</c><00:31:26.180><c> of</c><00:31:26.180><c> the</c><00:31:26.279><c> context</c><00:31:26.619><c> of</c><00:31:26.839><c> Jeremiah</c>

00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:29.259
so<00:31:27.420><c> we</c><00:31:27.700><c> know</c><00:31:27.839><c> what's</c><00:31:28.039><c> going</c><00:31:28.240><c> on.</c>

00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:34.440
So<00:31:30.000><c> in</c><00:31:30.440><c> the</c><00:31:30.519><c> days</c><00:31:30.859><c> of</c><00:31:32.839><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:31:33.380><c> the</c><00:31:33.460><c> days</c><00:31:33.680><c> of</c><00:31:33.859><c> Jehoiakim,</c>

00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:36.680
we<00:31:34.880><c> believe</c><00:31:35.039><c> this</c><00:31:35.220><c> is</c><00:31:35.299><c> when</c><00:31:35.460><c> this</c><00:31:35.660><c> was</c><00:31:35.819><c> written,</c>

00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:39.920
the<00:31:37.700><c> priests</c><00:31:38.019><c> and</c><00:31:38.220><c> the</c><00:31:38.460><c> prophets</c><00:31:38.660><c> were</c><00:31:38.900><c> saying,</c>

00:31:40.099 --> 00:31:43.640
Jeremiah<00:31:40.539><c> should</c><00:31:40.859><c> die,</c><00:31:42.460><c> we</c><00:31:42.720><c> should</c><00:31:42.920><c> kill</c><00:31:43.220><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:45.180
This<00:31:43.900><c> is</c><00:31:44.019><c> what</c><00:31:44.140><c> the</c><00:31:44.400><c> priests</c><00:31:44.559><c> and</c><00:31:44.720><c> the</c><00:31:44.920><c> prophets</c>

00:31:45.180 --> 00:31:47.740
of<00:31:45.339><c> Jerusalem</c><00:31:45.740><c> were</c><00:31:45.960><c> saying,</c><00:31:46.779><c> because</c><00:31:47.079><c> listen</c><00:31:47.440><c> to</c><00:31:47.619><c> him,</c>

00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:50.180
he's<00:31:47.960><c> speaking</c><00:31:48.259><c> out</c><00:31:48.599><c> against</c><00:31:48.940><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:31:50.839 --> 00:31:53.279
And<00:31:51.359><c> Jeremiah</c><00:31:51.880><c> in</c><00:31:52.099><c> this</c><00:31:52.380><c> chapter</c><00:31:52.759><c> says,</c>

00:31:53.380 --> 00:31:58.720
you<00:31:53.380><c> know,</c><00:31:53.839><c> hey,</c><00:31:55.599><c> Yahweh</c><00:31:55.920><c> sent</c><00:31:56.380><c> me</c><00:31:57.099><c> to</c><00:31:57.539><c> give</c><00:31:57.700><c> you</c><00:31:57.839><c> this</c><00:31:58.019><c> message</c>

00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:01.700
about<00:31:59.500><c> what</c><00:31:59.759><c> was</c><00:31:59.980><c> going</c><00:32:00.160><c> to</c><00:32:00.359><c> happen</c><00:32:00.559><c> to</c><00:32:00.799><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:04.859
And<00:32:02.640><c> then</c><00:32:02.839><c> in</c><00:32:03.240><c> the</c><00:32:03.460><c> story</c><00:32:03.700><c> of</c><00:32:03.880><c> Jeremiah</c><00:32:04.200><c> chapter</c><00:32:04.480><c> 26,</c>

00:32:05.019 --> 00:32:06.819
the<00:32:05.099><c> princes</c><00:32:05.359><c> and</c><00:32:05.519><c> the</c><00:32:05.720><c> people</c><00:32:05.900><c> rose</c><00:32:06.220><c> up,</c>

00:32:06.940 --> 00:32:11.279
and<00:32:07.460><c> they</c><00:32:07.700><c> said,</c><00:32:08.319><c> no,</c><00:32:08.880><c> Jeremiah</c><00:32:09.279><c> doesn't</c><00:32:09.720><c> deserve</c><00:32:10.160><c> to</c><00:32:10.420><c> die.</c>

00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:14.519
And<00:32:12.059><c> then</c><00:32:12.440><c> it</c><00:32:12.779><c> tells</c><00:32:12.920><c> us</c><00:32:13.099><c> that</c><00:32:13.380><c> certain</c><00:32:13.619><c> of</c><00:32:13.779><c> the</c><00:32:14.019><c> elders</c><00:32:14.299><c> of</c>

00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:15.460
the<00:32:14.740><c> land</c>

00:32:15.460 --> 00:32:19.319
brought<00:32:16.180><c> up</c><00:32:16.380><c> the</c><00:32:16.640><c> situation</c><00:32:17.119><c> with</c><00:32:17.359><c> Hezekiah,</c><00:32:18.880><c> right?</c>

00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:23.559
In<00:32:19.619><c> Jeremiah</c><00:32:20.039><c> chapter</c><00:32:20.339><c> 26,</c><00:32:21.059><c> verses</c><00:32:21.180><c> 18</c><00:32:21.839><c> and</c><00:32:22.279><c> 19.</c>

00:32:24.900 --> 00:32:26.119
And<00:32:24.960><c> what</c><00:32:25.059><c> did</c><00:32:25.140><c> they</c><00:32:25.299><c> say?</c>

00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:29.319
They<00:32:26.299><c> said,</c><00:32:26.779><c> didn't</c><00:32:27.279><c> Hezekiah,</c><00:32:27.980><c> king</c><00:32:28.259><c> of</c><00:32:28.819><c> Judah,</c>

00:32:29.819 --> 00:32:33.180
sorry,<00:32:30.559><c> didn't,</c><00:32:30.859><c> oops,</c><00:32:31.660><c> did</c><00:32:31.859><c> Hezekiah,</c><00:32:32.500><c> king</c><00:32:32.700><c> of</c><00:32:32.839><c> Judah,</c>

00:32:33.500 --> 00:32:35.900
and<00:32:33.759><c> all</c><00:32:34.099><c> Judah</c><00:32:34.380><c> put</c><00:32:34.700><c> him</c><00:32:35.119><c> at</c><00:32:35.359><c> all</c><00:32:35.519><c> to</c><00:32:35.759><c> death?</c>

00:32:35.980 --> 00:32:38.960
So<00:32:36.140><c> they</c><00:32:36.859><c> say</c><00:32:37.019><c> when</c><00:32:37.220><c> Hezekiah</c><00:32:37.859><c> came,</c>

00:32:39.500 --> 00:32:41.099
did<00:32:39.640><c> the</c><00:32:39.819><c> people</c><00:32:40.019><c> put</c><00:32:40.319><c> Hezekiah,</c>

00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:43.759
sorry,<00:32:41.680><c> Hezekiah,</c><00:32:42.079><c> I'm</c><00:32:42.279><c> getting</c><00:32:42.480><c> it</c><00:32:42.819><c> all</c><00:32:42.960><c> backwards</c><00:32:43.319><c> here.</c>

00:32:44.099 --> 00:32:47.420
When<00:32:44.359><c> Micah</c><00:32:44.640><c> came,</c><00:32:45.859><c> did</c><00:32:46.000><c> the</c><00:32:46.220><c> people</c><00:32:46.579><c> of</c><00:32:46.839><c> Jerusalem</c>

00:32:47.420 --> 00:32:51.579
put<00:32:48.279><c> Micah</c><00:32:49.559><c> to</c><00:32:49.960><c> death</c><00:32:50.299><c> for</c><00:32:50.500><c> what</c><00:32:50.640><c> he</c><00:32:50.819><c> said</c><00:32:50.980><c> to</c><00:32:51.220><c> Hezekiah?</c>

00:32:51.700 --> 00:32:53.539
Did<00:32:51.900><c> Hezekiah</c><00:32:52.440><c> do</c><00:32:52.619><c> that?</c>

00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:57.500
He<00:32:54.220><c> says,</c><00:32:54.500><c> didn't</c><00:32:54.839><c> Hezekiah</c><00:32:55.420><c> instead</c><00:32:55.960><c> fear</c><00:32:56.420><c> Yahweh</c>

00:32:57.579 --> 00:33:00.079
and<00:32:57.960><c> besought</c><00:32:58.619><c> Yahweh?</c>

00:33:00.299 --> 00:33:02.599
And<00:33:00.440><c> then</c><00:33:00.799><c> Yahweh</c><00:33:01.220><c> repented</c><00:33:01.680><c> him</c><00:33:01.900><c> of</c><00:33:02.059><c> the</c><00:33:02.319><c> evil</c>

00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:04.859
which<00:33:02.900><c> he</c><00:33:03.099><c> had</c><00:33:03.240><c> pronounced</c><00:33:03.640><c> against</c><00:33:03.980><c> them.</c>

00:33:05.140 --> 00:33:07.160
He<00:33:05.299><c> says,</c><00:33:05.920><c> we</c><00:33:06.140><c> should</c><00:33:06.259><c> do</c><00:33:06.440><c> the</c><00:33:06.599><c> same</c><00:33:06.799><c> thing.</c>

00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:11.779
Thus<00:33:07.420><c> we</c><00:33:07.759><c> might</c><00:33:08.359><c> procure</c><00:33:09.019><c> great</c><00:33:09.440><c> evil</c><00:33:09.779><c> against</c><00:33:10.279><c> our</c><00:33:10.779><c> souls,</c>

00:33:12.299 --> 00:33:13.240
just<00:33:12.640><c> like</c><00:33:12.859><c> they</c><00:33:13.099><c> did.</c>

00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:15.259
So<00:33:13.599><c> they</c><00:33:13.799><c> saw</c><00:33:14.019><c> that</c><00:33:14.200><c> they</c><00:33:14.400><c> were</c><00:33:14.539><c> in</c><00:33:14.740><c> exactly</c>

00:33:15.259 --> 00:33:17.619
the<00:33:15.380><c> same</c><00:33:15.859><c> type</c><00:33:16.220><c> of</c><00:33:16.380><c> a</c><00:33:16.599><c> situation.</c>

00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:20.900
And<00:33:17.779><c> that</c><00:33:18.059><c> Jeremiah</c><00:33:18.579><c> coming</c><00:33:19.119><c> to</c><00:33:19.539><c> Jehoiakim</c>

00:33:20.900 --> 00:33:27.059
was<00:33:21.359><c> just</c><00:33:21.980><c> like</c><00:33:23.440><c> Micah</c><00:33:24.619><c> coming</c><00:33:25.180><c> to</c><00:33:25.940><c> Hezekiah</c>

00:33:27.059 --> 00:33:30.539
and<00:33:27.480><c> getting</c><00:33:27.920><c> him</c><00:33:28.400><c> to</c><00:33:28.880><c> make</c><00:33:29.339><c> the</c><00:33:29.660><c> right</c><00:33:29.900><c> decisions</c>

00:33:30.539 --> 00:33:32.740
and<00:33:31.220><c> take</c><00:33:31.420><c> the</c><00:33:31.660><c> right</c><00:33:31.880><c> action.</c>

00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:34.480
And<00:33:33.019><c> of</c><00:33:33.180><c> course</c><00:33:33.359><c> we</c><00:33:33.680><c> see</c><00:33:33.900><c> from</c><00:33:34.079><c> this</c><00:33:34.299><c> verse</c>

00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:36.740
that<00:33:34.640><c> that's</c><00:33:34.920><c> exactly</c><00:33:35.259><c> what</c><00:33:35.440><c> Hezekiah</c><00:33:35.880><c> did,</c><00:33:36.299><c> right?</c>

00:33:37.140 --> 00:33:41.339
He<00:33:37.440><c> feared</c><00:33:37.720><c> Yahweh</c><00:33:38.339><c> and</c><00:33:39.319><c> he</c><00:33:39.740><c> besought</c><00:33:40.359><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:33:41.339 --> 00:33:45.359
Besought<00:33:41.980><c> means</c><00:33:42.259><c> to</c><00:33:42.539><c> ask</c><00:33:42.859><c> someone</c><00:33:43.339><c> earnestly</c><00:33:44.019><c> to</c><00:33:44.839><c> do</c><00:33:45.079><c> something.</c>

00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:47.339
So<00:33:45.539><c> of</c><00:33:45.700><c> course,</c><00:33:45.900><c> what</c><00:33:46.079><c> did</c><00:33:46.259><c> he</c><00:33:46.420><c> ask?</c>

00:33:47.619 --> 00:33:51.299
He<00:33:47.940><c> asked</c><00:33:48.299><c> for</c><00:33:48.599><c> Jerusalem</c><00:33:49.180><c> not</c><00:33:49.779><c> to</c><00:33:50.039><c> become</c><00:33:50.259><c> like</c><00:33:50.599><c> a</c><00:33:50.740><c> plowed</c><00:33:51.019><c> field.</c>

00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:54.720
He<00:33:51.839><c> asked</c><00:33:52.019><c> for</c><00:33:52.259><c> Jerusalem</c><00:33:52.779><c> to</c><00:33:53.420><c> be</c><00:33:53.720><c> delivered.</c>

00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:59.680
So<00:33:55.799><c> Micah</c><00:33:56.420><c> then</c><00:33:56.880><c> is</c><00:33:57.180><c> the</c><00:33:57.460><c> brother</c><00:33:57.680><c> that</c><00:33:57.940><c> comes</c><00:33:58.299><c> to</c><00:33:58.559><c> Hezekiah</c>

00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:02.519
and<00:34:00.180><c> he</c><00:34:00.440><c> tells</c><00:34:00.740><c> him</c><00:34:01.259><c> what</c><00:34:01.700><c> he</c><00:34:01.960><c> should</c><00:34:02.160><c> do.</c>

00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:07.180
He's<00:34:03.380><c> the</c><00:34:03.599><c> wisdom</c><00:34:04.299><c> that</c><00:34:05.119><c> Hezekiah</c><00:34:05.599><c> would</c><00:34:05.779><c> have</c><00:34:05.900><c> prayed</c><00:34:06.160><c> for</c>

00:34:07.140 --> 00:34:08.679
and<00:34:07.440><c> that</c><00:34:07.619><c> God</c><00:34:07.839><c> provided</c><00:34:08.280><c> for</c><00:34:08.519><c> him</c>

00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:11.900
so<00:34:08.840><c> he</c><00:34:09.059><c> knew</c><00:34:09.360><c> what</c><00:34:09.539><c> he</c><00:34:09.679><c> could</c><00:34:09.860><c> do</c><00:34:10.260><c> in</c><00:34:10.679><c> this</c><00:34:10.840><c> situation.</c>

00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:14.000
You<00:34:12.179><c> know</c><00:34:12.280><c> there's</c><00:34:12.460><c> a</c><00:34:12.619><c> great</c><00:34:13.000><c> proverb</c>

00:34:14.099 --> 00:34:15.460
that<00:34:14.380><c> deals</c><00:34:14.639><c> with</c><00:34:14.900><c> exactly</c><00:34:15.239><c> this.</c>

00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:18.739
Proverbs<00:34:15.820><c> chapter</c><00:34:16.139><c> 10</c><00:34:16.960><c> and</c><00:34:17.420><c> verse</c><00:34:17.579><c> 17.</c>

00:34:19.300 --> 00:34:20.239
So<00:34:19.360><c> let's</c><00:34:19.500><c> take</c><00:34:19.679><c> a</c><00:34:19.719><c> look</c><00:34:19.820><c> at</c><00:34:19.960><c> that</c><00:34:20.079><c> one.</c>

00:34:20.260 --> 00:34:21.920
Proverbs<00:34:20.579><c> 10</c><00:34:20.860><c> verse</c><00:34:21.039><c> 17</c><00:34:21.500><c> it</c><00:34:21.739><c> says,</c>

00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:23.880
and<00:34:22.059><c> I'll</c><00:34:22.219><c> read</c><00:34:22.619><c> from</c><00:34:22.880><c> the</c><00:34:22.980><c> New</c><00:34:23.099><c> International</c><00:34:23.599><c> Version,</c>

00:34:24.019 --> 00:34:30.139
it<00:34:24.019><c> says,</c><00:34:25.019><c> he</c><00:34:25.179><c> who</c><00:34:25.519><c> heeds</c><00:34:26.219><c> discipline</c><00:34:27.079><c> shows</c><00:34:28.119><c> the</c><00:34:28.400><c> way</c><00:34:28.880><c> to</c><00:34:29.219><c> life.</c>

00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:34.760
But<00:34:31.179><c> whoever</c><00:34:31.500><c> ignores</c><00:34:32.099><c> correction</c><00:34:32.639><c> leads</c><00:34:33.139><c> others</c><00:34:33.699><c> astray.</c>

00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:38.800
So<00:34:35.239><c> here's</c><00:34:35.599><c> a</c><00:34:35.940><c> fantastic</c><00:34:36.760><c> example</c><00:34:37.360><c> of</c><00:34:37.579><c> this</c><00:34:37.739><c> in</c><00:34:37.900><c> Hezekiah.</c>

00:34:39.300 --> 00:34:41.800
He<00:34:39.940><c> heeds</c><00:34:40.400><c> the</c><00:34:40.780><c> discipline,</c>

00:34:42.460 --> 00:34:45.699
he<00:34:42.679><c> stands</c><00:34:43.059><c> up</c><00:34:43.820><c> as</c><00:34:44.219><c> the</c><00:34:44.519><c> representative</c><00:34:45.159><c> of</c><00:34:45.480><c> Judah</c>

00:34:45.699 --> 00:34:47.920
and<00:34:46.000><c> he</c><00:34:46.219><c> heeds</c><00:34:46.539><c> that</c><00:34:46.880><c> discipline</c>

00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:51.679
and<00:34:48.480><c> he</c><00:34:48.699><c> shows</c><00:34:49.019><c> the</c><00:34:49.280><c> people</c><00:34:49.539><c> the</c><00:34:49.780><c> way</c><00:34:50.239><c> to</c><00:34:50.880><c> life.</c>

00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:52.599
Now<00:34:51.920><c> isn't</c><00:34:52.059><c> that</c><00:34:52.320><c> cool?</c>

00:34:52.980 --> 00:34:54.800
Because<00:34:53.099><c> yesterday</c><00:34:53.579><c> we</c><00:34:53.780><c> saw</c><00:34:53.980><c> that</c><00:34:54.239><c> Ahaz</c>

00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:58.619
had<00:34:55.400><c> shut</c><00:34:55.739><c> down</c><00:34:56.239><c> the</c><00:34:56.480><c> way</c><00:34:56.980><c> to</c><00:34:57.639><c> the</c><00:34:57.780><c> tree</c><00:34:57.920><c> of</c><00:34:58.139><c> life,</c><00:34:58.420><c> right?</c>

00:34:58.619 --> 00:35:01.119
He<00:34:58.920><c> blocked</c><00:34:59.280><c> off</c><00:34:59.900><c> the</c><00:35:00.179><c> way</c><00:35:00.340><c> to</c><00:35:00.579><c> immortality</c>

00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:02.920
by<00:35:01.360><c> blocking</c><00:35:01.719><c> off</c><00:35:01.960><c> the</c><00:35:02.119><c> temple.</c>

00:35:02.849 --> 00:35:05.519
But<00:35:03.179><c> here's</c><00:35:03.519><c> Hezekiah,</c><00:35:04.340><c> he</c><00:35:04.579><c> heeds</c><00:35:04.960><c> discipline</c>

00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:08.960
and<00:35:06.079><c> he</c><00:35:06.260><c> shows</c><00:35:06.480><c> the</c><00:35:06.699><c> way</c><00:35:07.059><c> to</c><00:35:07.860><c> life.</c>

00:35:09.340 --> 00:35:11.679
It<00:35:09.380><c> says,</c><00:35:09.699><c> but</c><00:35:09.699><c> whoever</c><00:35:09.960><c> ignores</c><00:35:10.460><c> correction</c>

00:35:11.900 --> 00:35:15.280
leads<00:35:12.340><c> others</c><00:35:13.500><c> astray,</c><00:35:15.079><c> right?</c>

00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:18.159
So<00:35:15.500><c> if</c><00:35:15.980><c> instead</c><00:35:16.380><c> they</c><00:35:16.579><c> had</c><00:35:16.760><c> acted</c><00:35:17.019><c> differently</c><00:35:17.579><c> with</c><00:35:17.940><c> Micah</c>

00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:21.500
and<00:35:18.340><c> ignored</c><00:35:18.659><c> Micah</c><00:35:19.099><c> or</c><00:35:19.739><c> acted</c><00:35:20.159><c> violently</c><00:35:20.659><c> toward</c><00:35:21.019><c> Micah,</c>

00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:24.539
he<00:35:21.760><c> would</c><00:35:21.940><c> have</c><00:35:22.000><c> led</c><00:35:22.099><c> the</c><00:35:22.380><c> whole</c><00:35:22.579><c> nation</c><00:35:23.360><c> astray.</c>

00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:25.719
Isn't<00:35:24.960><c> that</c><00:35:25.179><c> wonderful</c><00:35:25.519><c> though</c>

00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:29.099
that<00:35:25.800><c> that's</c><00:35:26.099><c> not</c><00:35:26.380><c> what</c><00:35:26.579><c> this</c><00:35:26.980><c> 25</c><00:35:27.579><c> year</c><00:35:27.860><c> old</c><00:35:28.039><c> king</c><00:35:28.239><c> does?</c>

00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:32.539
So<00:35:29.940><c> brothers</c><00:35:30.239><c> and</c><00:35:30.380><c> sisters,</c><00:35:30.800><c> he</c><00:35:30.800><c> learned</c><00:35:31.059><c> trust</c><00:35:31.360><c> in</c><00:35:31.599><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:37.500
God<00:35:33.159><c> brought</c><00:35:33.639><c> the</c><00:35:34.000><c> crisis</c><00:35:34.579><c> to</c><00:35:35.860><c> elevate</c><00:35:36.579><c> the</c><00:35:37.000><c> situation,</c>

00:35:37.539 --> 00:35:39.920
to<00:35:37.760><c> make</c><00:35:38.239><c> the</c><00:35:38.579><c> situation</c><00:35:39.059><c> one</c><00:35:39.300><c> where</c><00:35:39.460><c> people</c><00:35:39.699><c> said</c>

00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:41.679
we've<00:35:40.280><c> got</c><00:35:40.460><c> to</c><00:35:40.599><c> do</c><00:35:40.760><c> something</c>

00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:44.920
and<00:35:42.780><c> then</c><00:35:42.940><c> God</c><00:35:43.139><c> brought</c><00:35:43.360><c> the</c><00:35:43.539><c> brother</c><00:35:43.739><c> in</c>

00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:47.260
that<00:35:45.320><c> told</c><00:35:45.480><c> him</c><00:35:45.619><c> what</c><00:35:45.760><c> they</c><00:35:45.920><c> needed</c><00:35:46.179><c> to</c><00:35:46.420><c> do.</c>

00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:51.340
I<00:35:48.199><c> wonder</c><00:35:48.280><c> what</c><00:35:48.460><c> else</c><00:35:49.019><c> Micah</c><00:35:49.280><c> had</c><00:35:49.440><c> to</c><00:35:49.659><c> say,</c><00:35:50.900><c> right?</c>

00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:53.000
Well<00:35:51.800><c> if</c><00:35:51.920><c> we</c><00:35:51.940><c> turn</c><00:35:52.079><c> to</c><00:35:52.219><c> Micah</c><00:35:52.480><c> chapter</c><00:35:52.760><c> three,</c>

00:35:53.099 --> 00:35:56.440
we<00:35:53.260><c> find</c><00:35:54.239><c> this</c><00:35:55.159><c> actual</c><00:35:55.860><c> advice,</c>

00:35:56.440 --> 00:35:59.719
this<00:35:56.719><c> actual</c><00:35:57.360><c> situation</c><00:35:58.559><c> referred</c><00:35:59.059><c> to</c>

00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:04.059
in<00:36:00.059><c> Micah</c><00:36:00.320><c> chapter</c><00:36:00.659><c> three</c><00:36:00.900><c> in</c><00:36:01.039><c> verse</c><00:36:01.239><c> 12,</c><00:36:03.860><c> right?</c>

00:36:04.059 --> 00:36:06.480
So<00:36:04.199><c> the</c><00:36:04.380><c> same</c><00:36:04.639><c> message</c><00:36:05.000><c> here</c><00:36:05.239><c> comes</c><00:36:05.460><c> across</c>

00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:08.800
and<00:36:07.760><c> we</c><00:36:07.920><c> kind</c><00:36:08.059><c> of</c><00:36:08.159><c> make</c><00:36:08.300><c> the</c><00:36:08.539><c> connection</c>

00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:10.739
with<00:36:09.019><c> verse</c><00:36:09.260><c> 12</c><00:36:09.639><c> in</c><00:36:09.780><c> Micah</c><00:36:10.099><c> chapter</c><00:36:10.380><c> three</c>

00:36:10.739 --> 00:36:12.099
and<00:36:10.880><c> then</c><00:36:11.019><c> we</c><00:36:11.159><c> look</c><00:36:11.260><c> at</c><00:36:11.380><c> the</c><00:36:11.480><c> whole</c><00:36:11.719><c> chapter</c>

00:36:12.099 --> 00:36:14.139
and<00:36:12.320><c> then</c><00:36:12.599><c> we'll</c><00:36:12.800><c> look</c><00:36:12.900><c> at</c><00:36:13.000><c> some</c><00:36:13.199><c> other</c><00:36:13.400><c> verses</c><00:36:13.659><c> in</c><00:36:13.880><c> Micah</c>

00:36:14.139 --> 00:36:16.099
to<00:36:14.300><c> see</c><00:36:14.519><c> what</c><00:36:14.659><c> was</c><00:36:14.840><c> going</c><00:36:15.079><c> on</c><00:36:15.239><c> here.</c>

00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:17.920
So<00:36:16.300><c> Micah</c><00:36:16.599><c> 3</c><00:36:16.840><c> 12</c><00:36:17.099><c> says,</c>

00:36:18.440 --> 00:36:22.320
therefore<00:36:18.440><c> shall</c><00:36:18.800><c> Zion</c><00:36:19.239><c> for</c><00:36:19.480><c> your</c><00:36:19.780><c> sake</c><00:36:20.340><c> be</c><00:36:21.400><c> plowed</c><00:36:21.699><c> as</c><00:36:22.019><c> a</c><00:36:22.139><c> field</c>

00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:24.280
and<00:36:22.519><c> Jerusalem</c><00:36:22.980><c> shall</c><00:36:23.199><c> become</c><00:36:23.519><c> heaps</c>

00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:25.719
and<00:36:24.599><c> the</c><00:36:24.760><c> mountain</c><00:36:25.039><c> of</c><00:36:25.219><c> the</c><00:36:25.360><c> house</c>

00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:27.340
as<00:36:26.019><c> the</c><00:36:26.219><c> high</c><00:36:26.440><c> places</c><00:36:26.800><c> of</c><00:36:27.039><c> the</c><00:36:27.199><c> four.</c>

00:36:27.380 --> 00:36:29.219
So<00:36:27.519><c> this</c><00:36:27.639><c> is</c><00:36:27.739><c> just</c><00:36:27.960><c> like</c><00:36:28.119><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:36:29.099><c> right?</c>

00:36:29.219 --> 00:36:32.460
It's<00:36:29.400><c> the</c><00:36:29.619><c> same</c><00:36:29.880><c> situation,</c><00:36:30.900><c> it's</c><00:36:31.139><c> the</c><00:36:31.320><c> same</c><00:36:31.519><c> language.</c>

00:36:32.900 --> 00:36:35.900
Let's<00:36:33.039><c> go</c><00:36:33.280><c> over</c><00:36:33.559><c> to</c><00:36:34.000><c> Micah</c><00:36:34.300><c> 3</c><00:36:34.519><c> verse</c><00:36:34.760><c> one</c>

00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:38.159
and<00:36:36.179><c> let's</c><00:36:36.360><c> look</c><00:36:36.519><c> at</c><00:36:36.579><c> what</c><00:36:36.760><c> else</c><00:36:36.920><c> he</c><00:36:37.019><c> had</c><00:36:37.159><c> to</c><00:36:37.360><c> say.</c>

00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:40.599
Micah<00:36:38.699><c> 3</c><00:36:38.960><c> verse</c><00:36:39.179><c> one,</c><00:36:39.760><c> it</c><00:36:39.760><c> says,</c>

00:36:40.820 --> 00:36:45.079
and<00:36:40.840><c> I</c><00:36:40.980><c> said,</c><00:36:41.880><c> here</c><00:36:42.139><c> I</c><00:36:42.860><c> pray</c><00:36:43.099><c> you,</c><00:36:44.079><c> oh</c><00:36:44.280><c> heads</c><00:36:44.519><c> of</c><00:36:44.840><c> Jacob.</c>

00:36:45.260 --> 00:36:48.079
So<00:36:45.699><c> Micah</c><00:36:46.000><c> comes</c><00:36:46.280><c> in</c><00:36:46.840><c> and</c><00:36:47.260><c> he's</c><00:36:47.460><c> got</c><00:36:47.599><c> an</c><00:36:47.780><c> audience</c>

00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:51.059
with<00:36:48.320><c> the</c><00:36:48.500><c> heads</c><00:36:48.679><c> of</c><00:36:48.900><c> Jacob,</c><00:36:49.219><c> with</c><00:36:49.360><c> the</c><00:36:49.519><c> leaders</c><00:36:49.719><c> of</c><00:36:49.880><c> the</c><00:36:50.039><c> people</c>

00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:53.199
and<00:36:51.719><c> he</c><00:36:51.940><c> princes</c><00:36:52.219><c> of</c><00:36:52.400><c> the</c><00:36:52.519><c> house</c><00:36:52.699><c> of</c><00:36:52.860><c> Israel.</c>

00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:58.659
He<00:36:53.599><c> says,</c><00:36:54.480><c> is</c><00:36:54.500><c> it</c><00:36:54.820><c> not</c><00:36:55.159><c> for</c><00:36:55.460><c> you</c><00:36:56.119><c> to</c><00:36:57.400><c> know</c><00:36:57.679><c> judgment?</c>

00:36:59.340 --> 00:37:00.659
Does<00:36:59.380><c> that</c><00:36:59.539><c> sound</c><00:36:59.699><c> familiar?</c>

00:37:01.500 --> 00:37:03.039
Does<00:37:01.579><c> that</c><00:37:01.679><c> remind</c><00:37:01.900><c> us</c><00:37:02.039><c> of</c><00:37:02.159><c> yesterday?</c>

00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:06.840
What<00:37:03.880><c> we</c><00:37:04.079><c> saw</c><00:37:04.280><c> yesterday</c><00:37:04.679><c> was</c><00:37:04.860><c> the</c><00:37:05.019><c> problem,</c><00:37:05.840><c> right,</c><00:37:06.260><c> in</c><00:37:06.420><c> Isaiah?</c>

00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:10.739
How<00:37:07.659><c> the</c><00:37:07.940><c> leaders</c><00:37:08.260><c> were</c><00:37:08.639><c> babes,</c><00:37:09.860><c> they</c><00:37:09.960><c> were</c><00:37:10.380><c> ignorant,</c>

00:37:10.820 --> 00:37:13.400
they<00:37:10.960><c> didn't</c><00:37:11.219><c> know</c><00:37:11.480><c> the</c><00:37:11.659><c> laws,</c><00:37:12.019><c> they</c><00:37:12.079><c> didn't</c><00:37:12.280><c> know</c><00:37:12.460><c> the</c><00:37:12.619><c> rules.</c>

00:37:13.460 --> 00:37:15.739
The<00:37:13.639><c> same</c><00:37:13.820><c> thing</c><00:37:13.980><c> here,</c><00:37:14.199><c> he</c><00:37:14.320><c> says,</c><00:37:14.900><c> you</c><00:37:14.980><c> don't</c><00:37:15.219><c> know</c><00:37:15.400><c> the</c><00:37:15.599><c> rules.</c>

00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:18.079
You<00:37:15.960><c> can't</c><00:37:16.380><c> possibly</c><00:37:16.860><c> be</c><00:37:17.119><c> judges</c>

00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:21.380
because<00:37:18.659><c> you're</c><00:37:18.900><c> not</c><00:37:19.380><c> listening</c><00:37:19.880><c> to</c><00:37:20.079><c> the</c><00:37:20.199><c> words</c><00:37:20.380><c> of</c><00:37:20.599><c> scripture.</c>

00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:24.019
We<00:37:22.219><c> get</c><00:37:22.420><c> down</c><00:37:22.539><c> to</c><00:37:22.619><c> verse</c><00:37:22.860><c> five.</c>

00:37:24.219 --> 00:37:26.619
It<00:37:24.239><c> says,</c><00:37:24.659><c> thus</c><00:37:24.659><c> saith</c><00:37:24.900><c> Yahweh</c><00:37:25.440><c> concerning</c><00:37:25.920><c> the</c><00:37:26.219><c> prophets</c>

00:37:26.619 --> 00:37:33.840
that<00:37:27.400><c> make</c><00:37:27.780><c> people</c><00:37:28.639><c> err,</c><00:37:30.760><c> that</c><00:37:31.059><c> bite</c><00:37:31.559><c> with</c><00:37:32.619><c> their</c><00:37:32.920><c> teeth.</c>

00:37:34.059 --> 00:37:38.019
And<00:37:34.199><c> that</c><00:37:34.300><c> word</c><00:37:34.559><c> bite</c><00:37:34.880><c> there</c><00:37:35.059><c> means</c><00:37:35.380><c> to</c><00:37:36.079><c> strike</c><00:37:36.559><c> with</c><00:37:36.940><c> a</c><00:37:37.179><c> sting.</c>

00:37:39.619 --> 00:37:42.019
Usually<00:37:40.300><c> a</c><00:37:40.980><c> snake.</c>

00:37:42.820 --> 00:37:46.460
So<00:37:43.019><c> you've</c><00:37:43.260><c> got</c><00:37:43.420><c> these</c><00:37:44.860><c> prophets,</c><00:37:46.119><c> right,</c>

00:37:46.460 --> 00:37:49.059
that<00:37:46.619><c> were</c><00:37:46.940><c> biting</c><00:37:47.199><c> people</c><00:37:47.519><c> with</c><00:37:47.699><c> their</c><00:37:47.940><c> teeth.</c>

00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:51.539
Like<00:37:50.440><c> a</c><00:37:50.659><c> serpent.</c>

00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:56.199
They<00:37:52.760><c> were</c><00:37:52.920><c> saying,</c><00:37:54.699><c> you</c><00:37:54.719><c> won't</c><00:37:55.000><c> die.</c>

00:37:57.079 --> 00:37:59.960
Go<00:37:57.280><c> ahead,</c><00:37:58.380><c> eat</c><00:37:58.599><c> of</c><00:37:58.760><c> the</c><00:37:58.960><c> tree,</c><00:37:59.360><c> right?</c>

00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:01.940
Just<00:38:00.480><c> like</c><00:38:00.639><c> the</c><00:38:00.860><c> serpent</c><00:38:01.079><c> said.</c>

00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:05.480
There's<00:38:02.679><c> gonna</c><00:38:02.860><c> be</c><00:38:03.119><c> peace,</c><00:38:03.539><c> you</c><00:38:03.579><c> have</c><00:38:03.840><c> nothing</c><00:38:04.059><c> to</c><00:38:04.320><c> worry</c><00:38:04.579><c> about.</c>

00:38:06.940 --> 00:38:09.199
And<00:38:07.039><c> he</c><00:38:07.219><c> putteth</c><00:38:07.539><c> not</c><00:38:07.780><c> into</c><00:38:08.039><c> their</c><00:38:08.300><c> mouths.</c>

00:38:09.260 --> 00:38:10.820
They<00:38:09.440><c> even</c><00:38:09.699><c> prepare</c><00:38:10.019><c> war</c><00:38:10.360><c> against</c><00:38:10.659><c> him.</c>

00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:13.519
So<00:38:11.000><c> there</c><00:38:11.119><c> was</c><00:38:11.320><c> a</c><00:38:11.519><c> war</c><00:38:11.679><c> coming,</c><00:38:12.000><c> this</c><00:38:12.179><c> was</c><00:38:12.380><c> going</c><00:38:12.539><c> to</c><00:38:12.780><c> happen.</c>

00:38:14.019 --> 00:38:16.179
We<00:38:14.139><c> get</c><00:38:14.239><c> down</c><00:38:14.360><c> to</c><00:38:14.440><c> verse</c><00:38:14.659><c> 11.</c>

00:38:17.500 --> 00:38:22.159
Micah<00:38:17.980><c> three</c><00:38:18.179><c> verse</c><00:38:18.400><c> 11,</c><00:38:18.880><c> the</c><00:38:18.900><c> heads</c><00:38:19.159><c> thereof</c><00:38:19.659><c> judge</c><00:38:20.019><c> for</c><00:38:21.099><c> reward.</c>

00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:27.960
The<00:38:22.840><c> priests</c><00:38:23.280><c> teach</c><00:38:23.719><c> for</c><00:38:24.079><c> hire,</c><00:38:25.260><c> the</c><00:38:25.539><c> prophets</c><00:38:25.960><c> divine</c><00:38:26.619><c> for</c><00:38:27.000><c> money.</c>

00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:30.900
Yet<00:38:29.099><c> will</c><00:38:29.340><c> they</c><00:38:29.519><c> lean</c><00:38:29.739><c> upon</c><00:38:30.119><c> Yahweh</c><00:38:30.500><c> and</c><00:38:30.699><c> say,</c>

00:38:31.179 --> 00:38:33.440
is<00:38:31.239><c> not</c><00:38:31.559><c> Yahweh</c><00:38:32.059><c> among</c><00:38:32.380><c> us?</c>

00:38:33.579 --> 00:38:35.780
None<00:38:33.820><c> evil</c><00:38:34.199><c> can</c><00:38:34.440><c> come</c><00:38:34.619><c> upon</c><00:38:34.880><c> us.</c>

00:38:35.820 --> 00:38:37.239
So<00:38:36.019><c> that's</c><00:38:36.159><c> what</c><00:38:36.280><c> they</c><00:38:36.460><c> were</c><00:38:36.599><c> saying,</c><00:38:36.940><c> right?</c>

00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:39.360
Everything<00:38:37.940><c> that</c><00:38:38.139><c> they</c><00:38:38.360><c> did</c><00:38:38.579><c> was</c><00:38:38.880><c> kind</c><00:38:39.099><c> of</c><00:38:39.159><c> like</c>

00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:41.139
brother<00:38:39.579><c> Richard</c><00:38:39.860><c> was</c><00:38:40.079><c> talking</c><00:38:40.320><c> about</c><00:38:40.559><c> last</c><00:38:40.900><c> night.</c>

00:38:41.460 --> 00:38:42.820
And<00:38:41.559><c> you'll</c><00:38:41.760><c> notice</c><00:38:41.900><c> we're</c><00:38:42.119><c> in</c><00:38:42.340><c> Micah,</c>

00:38:43.059 --> 00:38:44.800
and<00:38:43.199><c> a</c><00:38:43.300><c> minute</c><00:38:43.420><c> we'll</c><00:38:43.579><c> look</c><00:38:43.719><c> in</c><00:38:43.860><c> Micah</c><00:38:44.159><c> six,</c>

00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:47.460
making<00:38:45.300><c> a</c><00:38:45.940><c> similar</c><00:38:46.219><c> connection</c><00:38:46.539><c> to</c><00:38:46.659><c> what</c><00:38:46.719><c> he</c><00:38:46.800><c> made</c><00:38:46.920><c> last</c><00:38:47.199><c> night.</c>

00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:50.199
Everything<00:38:48.019><c> that</c><00:38:48.199><c> they</c><00:38:48.340><c> were</c><00:38:48.539><c> doing</c><00:38:48.760><c> was</c><00:38:49.019><c> for</c><00:38:49.219><c> money.</c>

00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:52.280
And<00:38:50.380><c> yet</c><00:38:50.480><c> at</c><00:38:50.659><c> the</c><00:38:50.800><c> end,</c><00:38:50.940><c> what</c><00:38:51.019><c> did</c><00:38:51.159><c> they</c><00:38:51.380><c> think?</c>

00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:55.300
Isn't<00:38:53.380><c> Yahweh</c><00:38:53.880><c> among</c><00:38:54.219><c> us?</c>

00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:58.780
No<00:38:55.760><c> evil</c><00:38:56.079><c> can</c><00:38:56.360><c> come</c><00:38:56.559><c> upon</c><00:38:56.820><c> us,</c><00:38:57.139><c> we're</c><00:38:57.599><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:38:59.619 --> 00:39:01.659
Nothing<00:38:59.840><c> can</c><00:39:00.059><c> happen</c><00:39:00.300><c> to</c><00:39:00.539><c> us.</c>

00:39:03.099 --> 00:39:06.139
Of<00:39:03.260><c> course</c><00:39:03.400><c> Micah</c><00:39:03.679><c> says,</c><00:39:04.599><c> no,</c><00:39:04.739><c> no,</c><00:39:04.940><c> no,</c><00:39:05.139><c> no.</c>

00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:09.079
You're<00:39:06.440><c> gonna</c><00:39:06.539><c> be</c><00:39:06.800><c> plowed</c><00:39:07.400><c> as</c><00:39:07.860><c> a</c><00:39:08.099><c> field.</c>

00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:12.699
So<00:39:10.420><c> imagine</c><00:39:10.699><c> you're</c><00:39:11.000><c> Micah,</c><00:39:11.800><c> sorry,</c><00:39:12.119><c> you're</c><00:39:12.239><c> Hezekiah,</c>

00:39:12.699 --> 00:39:15.280
and<00:39:12.800><c> you're</c><00:39:12.920><c> sitting</c><00:39:13.119><c> there,</c><00:39:13.880><c> and</c><00:39:14.039><c> Micah's</c><00:39:14.360><c> come,</c>

00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:17.119
and<00:39:15.579><c> Micah's</c><00:39:15.960><c> looking</c><00:39:16.139><c> right</c><00:39:16.480><c> at</c><00:39:16.719><c> you,</c>

00:39:17.539 --> 00:39:21.880
and<00:39:17.719><c> he's</c><00:39:18.039><c> rebuked</c><00:39:18.719><c> you</c><00:39:19.059><c> and</c><00:39:19.219><c> the</c><00:39:19.380><c> leaders</c><00:39:19.920><c> of</c><00:39:20.539><c> Judah</c><00:39:20.739><c> as</c><00:39:21.000><c> follows.</c>

00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:24.880
He<00:39:22.239><c> says</c><00:39:22.440><c> the</c><00:39:22.579><c> leaders</c><00:39:22.900><c> don't</c><00:39:23.219><c> know</c><00:39:23.460><c> God's</c><00:39:23.940><c> law.</c>

00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:27.280
So<00:39:25.920><c> how</c><00:39:26.039><c> can</c><00:39:26.219><c> they</c><00:39:26.340><c> judge?</c>

00:39:28.059 --> 00:39:30.380
He<00:39:28.219><c> says</c><00:39:28.360><c> the</c><00:39:28.599><c> prophets</c><00:39:28.940><c> make</c><00:39:29.320><c> the</c><00:39:29.539><c> people</c><00:39:29.800><c> heir,</c>

00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:32.699
because<00:39:31.119><c> they</c><00:39:31.360><c> keep</c><00:39:31.559><c> saying</c><00:39:31.880><c> everything</c><00:39:32.260><c> is</c><00:39:32.500><c> good,</c>

00:39:32.780 --> 00:39:34.280
everything<00:39:33.039><c> is</c><00:39:33.320><c> peace.</c>

00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:38.119
The<00:39:35.820><c> judges,</c><00:39:36.280><c> the</c><00:39:36.440><c> priests,</c><00:39:36.960><c> the</c><00:39:37.239><c> prophets,</c>

00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:39.880
they<00:39:38.460><c> could</c><00:39:38.599><c> all</c><00:39:38.800><c> be</c><00:39:39.039><c> bought,</c><00:39:39.699><c> right?</c>

00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:41.460
They'd<00:39:40.159><c> say</c><00:39:40.380><c> what</c><00:39:40.539><c> you</c><00:39:40.739><c> want</c><00:39:40.900><c> them</c><00:39:41.099><c> to</c><00:39:41.280><c> say.</c>

00:39:41.460 --> 00:39:43.940
Just<00:39:41.699><c> like</c><00:39:42.320><c> most</c><00:39:42.639><c> of</c><00:39:42.800><c> the</c><00:39:42.960><c> religions</c><00:39:43.219><c> today,</c>

00:39:44.420 --> 00:39:45.780
they'll<00:39:44.539><c> say</c><00:39:44.719><c> whatever.</c>

00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:49.059
And<00:39:47.699><c> the</c><00:39:47.800><c> judges</c><00:39:48.059><c> and</c><00:39:48.239><c> the</c><00:39:48.400><c> priests</c><00:39:48.579><c> and</c><00:39:48.719><c> the</c><00:39:48.860><c> prophets</c>

00:39:49.059 --> 00:39:50.900
all<00:39:49.420><c> say</c><00:39:49.639><c> that</c><00:39:49.880><c> no</c><00:39:50.159><c> evil</c><00:39:50.400><c> could</c><00:39:50.659><c> come</c>

00:39:50.900 --> 00:39:53.360
because<00:39:51.260><c> Yahweh</c><00:39:51.860><c> was</c><00:39:52.699><c> among</c><00:39:53.000><c> them.</c>

00:39:53.539 --> 00:39:56.139
We've<00:39:53.739><c> got</c><00:39:53.940><c> nothing</c><00:39:54.360><c> to</c><00:39:54.639><c> worry</c><00:39:54.900><c> about.</c>

00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:04.219
But<00:39:59.920><c> Hezekiah</c><00:40:00.500><c> trusted</c><00:40:01.019><c> in</c><00:40:01.420><c> God,</c><00:40:01.900><c> and</c><00:40:02.480><c> he</c><00:40:02.599><c> was</c><00:40:02.820><c> loyal</c><00:40:03.079><c> to</c><00:40:03.300><c> God.</c>

00:40:04.900 --> 00:40:07.320
Turn<00:40:05.039><c> over</c><00:40:05.199><c> with</c><00:40:05.340><c> me</c><00:40:05.480><c> to</c><00:40:05.599><c> Micah</c><00:40:05.820><c> chapter</c><00:40:06.119><c> six.</c>

00:40:08.099 --> 00:40:12.679
Micah<00:40:08.579><c> chapter</c><00:40:08.900><c> six</c><00:40:10.320><c> sets</c><00:40:10.780><c> up</c><00:40:11.079><c> for</c><00:40:11.239><c> us</c>

00:40:12.739 --> 00:40:15.539
a<00:40:13.219><c> contest</c><00:40:13.599><c> in</c><00:40:14.059><c> Micah</c><00:40:14.280><c> six</c><00:40:14.559><c> and</c><00:40:14.719><c> Micah</c><00:40:14.960><c> seven</c>

00:40:15.539 --> 00:40:18.159
between<00:40:16.380><c> God</c><00:40:16.780><c> and</c><00:40:16.980><c> his</c><00:40:17.219><c> people.</c>

00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:21.219
And<00:40:18.519><c> it</c><00:40:18.699><c> sets</c><00:40:18.820><c> up</c><00:40:19.079><c> a</c><00:40:19.380><c> trial</c><00:40:19.960><c> situation</c><00:40:20.980><c> here</c>

00:40:21.219 --> 00:40:22.940
at<00:40:21.400><c> the</c><00:40:21.420><c> beginning</c><00:40:21.619><c> of</c><00:40:21.820><c> Micah</c><00:40:22.059><c> chapter</c><00:40:22.360><c> six</c><00:40:22.659><c> for</c><00:40:22.840><c> us,</c>

00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:24.639
and<00:40:23.099><c> it</c><00:40:23.199><c> sets</c><00:40:23.300><c> it</c><00:40:23.420><c> up</c><00:40:23.480><c> very</c><00:40:23.820><c> nicely.</c>

00:40:24.739 --> 00:40:27.739
And<00:40:24.940><c> God</c><00:40:25.119><c> is</c><00:40:25.300><c> going</c><00:40:25.420><c> to</c><00:40:25.639><c> bring</c><00:40:25.760><c> his</c><00:40:26.139><c> charge</c><00:40:26.539><c> against</c><00:40:26.900><c> Judah,</c>

00:40:28.019 --> 00:40:31.340
and<00:40:28.119><c> in</c><00:40:28.199><c> this</c><00:40:28.380><c> case,</c><00:40:28.599><c> Judah</c><00:40:28.880><c> is</c><00:40:29.119><c> going</c><00:40:29.239><c> to</c><00:40:29.559><c> answer</c><00:40:30.019><c> the</c><00:40:30.440><c> charge.</c>

00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:33.139
So<00:40:31.760><c> Micah</c><00:40:32.000><c> six,</c><00:40:32.360><c> verse</c><00:40:32.460><c> one</c><00:40:32.659><c> and</c><00:40:32.800><c> two,</c>

00:40:33.619 --> 00:40:35.380
and<00:40:33.820><c> you'll</c><00:40:34.000><c> notice</c><00:40:34.179><c> I've</c><00:40:34.559><c> made</c><00:40:34.780><c> some</c><00:40:34.980><c> of</c><00:40:35.099><c> the</c><00:40:35.199><c> words,</c>

00:40:35.380 --> 00:40:36.860

00:40:39.539 --> 00:40:40.699
and<00:40:40.119><c> set</c><00:40:40.320><c> this</c><00:40:40.539><c> up.</c>

00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:42.480
And<00:40:40.840><c> the</c><00:40:41.480><c> word</c><00:40:41.639><c> contend</c><00:40:42.159><c> there,</c>

00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:44.139
and<00:40:43.179><c> controversy</c><00:40:43.519><c> and</c><00:40:43.880><c> controversy,</c>

00:40:44.260 --> 00:40:46.199
they're<00:40:44.360><c> all</c><00:40:44.519><c> the</c><00:40:44.699><c> same</c><00:40:45.420><c> base</c><00:40:45.739><c> word,</c>

00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:51.119
So<00:40:49.179><c> if</c><00:40:49.260><c> we</c><00:40:49.380><c> kind</c><00:40:49.480><c> of</c><00:40:49.559><c> look</c><00:40:49.679><c> at</c><00:40:49.760><c> that</c><00:40:49.940><c> as</c><00:40:50.099><c> a</c><00:40:50.219><c> legal</c><00:40:50.400><c> case.</c>

00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:52.679
So<00:40:51.280><c> let's</c><00:40:51.579><c> read</c><00:40:51.800><c> Micah</c><00:40:52.099><c> six,</c><00:40:52.400><c> verse</c><00:40:52.519><c> one.</c>

00:40:52.780 --> 00:40:55.880
It<00:40:52.780><c> says,</c><00:40:53.340><c> hear</c><00:40:53.539><c> ye</c><00:40:53.719><c> now</c><00:40:53.880><c> what</c><00:40:54.099><c> Yahweh</c><00:40:54.480><c> saith.</c>

00:40:56.280 --> 00:40:58.619
Arise,<00:40:57.199><c> contend</c><00:40:57.519><c> thou</c><00:40:57.679><c> before</c><00:40:58.079><c> the</c><00:40:58.300><c> mountains,</c>

00:40:58.699 --> 00:41:01.699
and<00:40:58.820><c> let</c><00:40:58.960><c> the</c><00:40:59.239><c> hills</c><00:40:59.760><c> hear</c><00:41:00.280><c> thy</c><00:41:00.559><c> voice.</c>

00:41:01.809 --> 00:41:05.500
Hear<00:41:02.119><c> ye,</c><00:41:02.500><c> O</c><00:41:02.659><c> mountains,</c><00:41:03.980><c> Yahweh's</c><00:41:04.840><c> controversy,</c>

or<00:41:06.159><c> Yahweh's</c><00:41:06.699><c> case.</c>

00:41:07.500 --> 00:41:10.800
So<00:41:07.780><c> it's</c><00:41:08.039><c> like</c><00:41:08.280><c> the</c><00:41:08.460><c> mountains</c><00:41:08.780><c> are</c><00:41:09.260><c> the</c><00:41:09.840><c> people</c><00:41:10.159><c> in</c><00:41:10.400><c> the</c><00:41:10.500><c> audience,</c>

00:41:12.679 --> 00:41:14.360
and<00:41:13.079><c> the</c><00:41:13.480><c> trial's</c><00:41:13.679><c> being</c><00:41:13.960><c> brought.</c>

00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:16.780
He<00:41:14.960><c> says,</c><00:41:15.099><c> and</c><00:41:15.219><c> ye</c><00:41:15.400><c> strong</c><00:41:15.719><c> foundations</c><00:41:16.280><c> of</c><00:41:16.460><c> the</c><00:41:16.619><c> earth,</c>

00:41:16.820 --> 00:41:19.719
for<00:41:16.960><c> Yahweh</c><00:41:17.340><c> hath</c><00:41:17.679><c> a</c><00:41:18.460><c> case</c><00:41:18.739><c> with</c><00:41:18.960><c> his</c><00:41:19.219><c> people,</c>

00:41:20.219 --> 00:41:23.420
and<00:41:20.460><c> he</c><00:41:20.659><c> will</c><00:41:21.039><c> plead</c><00:41:21.500><c> with</c><00:41:22.380><c> Israel.</c>

00:41:25.260 --> 00:41:27.199
And<00:41:25.480><c> then</c><00:41:26.199><c> Yahweh</c><00:41:26.739><c> speaks,</c>

00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:31.460
O<00:41:27.460><c> my</c><00:41:27.760><c> people,</c><00:41:28.760><c> what</c><00:41:29.000><c> have</c><00:41:29.260><c> I</c><00:41:29.519><c> done</c><00:41:30.099><c> unto</c><00:41:30.400><c> thee?</c>

00:41:31.539 --> 00:41:34.920
And<00:41:31.820><c> wherein</c><00:41:32.179><c> have</c><00:41:32.699><c> I</c><00:41:33.199><c> wearied</c><00:41:33.519><c> thee,</c><00:41:33.719><c> he</c><00:41:33.860><c> says.</c>

00:41:35.380 --> 00:41:36.420
Testify<00:41:35.860><c> against</c><00:41:36.300><c> me,</c>

00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:40.159

00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:45.340
And<00:41:42.239><c> God</c><00:41:42.420><c> says,</c><00:41:43.340><c> I</c><00:41:43.559><c> brought</c><00:41:43.780><c> thee</c><00:41:43.980><c> up</c><00:41:44.139><c> out</c><00:41:44.239><c> of</c><00:41:44.320><c> the</c><00:41:44.400><c> land</c><00:41:44.639><c> of</c><00:41:44.900><c> Egypt.</c>

00:41:45.820 --> 00:41:47.639
And<00:41:45.980><c> he's</c><00:41:46.059><c> gonna</c><00:41:46.219><c> list</c><00:41:46.539><c> three</c><00:41:46.840><c> of</c><00:41:46.960><c> the</c><00:41:47.159><c> key</c><00:41:47.360><c> things</c>

00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:48.739

00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:50.840
I<00:41:48.940><c> brought</c><00:41:49.139><c> you</c><00:41:49.320><c> up</c><00:41:49.440><c> out</c><00:41:49.539><c> of</c><00:41:49.579><c> the</c><00:41:49.639><c> land</c><00:41:49.840><c> of</c><00:41:50.019><c> Egypt.</c>

00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:53.619
I<00:41:51.239><c> redeemed</c><00:41:51.599><c> you</c><00:41:51.760><c> out</c><00:41:51.900><c> of</c><00:41:51.960><c> the</c><00:41:52.119><c> house</c><00:41:52.360><c> of</c><00:41:52.760><c> servants,</c>

00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:58.219

00:41:58.300 --> 00:41:58.719
Right?

00:41:59.059 --> 00:42:01.559
He<00:41:59.340><c> delivered</c><00:41:59.679><c> them</c><00:41:59.980><c> from</c><00:42:00.300><c> Egypt,</c><00:42:00.739><c> where</c><00:42:00.900><c> they</c><00:42:01.039><c> were</c><00:42:01.280><c> slaves,</c>

00:42:01.579 --> 00:42:04.760
and<00:42:01.699><c> he</c><00:42:01.860><c> made</c><00:42:02.039><c> them</c><00:42:02.179><c> into</c><00:42:02.440><c> his</c><00:42:02.780><c> people,</c><00:42:03.619><c> and</c><00:42:03.780><c> he</c><00:42:03.940><c> bought</c><00:42:04.139><c> them.</c>

00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:06.500
Verse<00:42:05.460><c> five,</c><00:42:05.719><c> he</c><00:42:05.780><c> says,</c><00:42:06.019><c> O</c><00:42:06.079><c> my</c><00:42:06.239><c> people,</c>

00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:10.460
remember<00:42:07.079><c> now</c><00:42:07.639><c> what</c><00:42:07.960><c> Balak,</c><00:42:08.400><c> king</c><00:42:08.639><c> of</c><00:42:08.920><c> Moab,</c><00:42:09.579><c> consulted,</c>

00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:13.380
and<00:42:10.659><c> what</c><00:42:10.940><c> Balaam,</c><00:42:11.280><c> the</c><00:42:11.340><c> son</c><00:42:11.500><c> of</c><00:42:11.780><c> Beor,</c><00:42:12.139><c> answered</c><00:42:12.500><c> him.</c>

00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:17.019
So<00:42:14.300><c> he</c><00:42:14.340><c> says,</c><00:42:14.940><c> think</c><00:42:15.079><c> about</c><00:42:15.340><c> that</c><00:42:15.599><c> situation</c><00:42:16.179><c> with</c><00:42:16.579><c> Balaam</c>

00:42:17.019 --> 00:42:18.239
and<00:42:17.219><c> Balak.</c>

00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:21.239
In<00:42:18.460><c> that</c><00:42:18.679><c> situation,</c><00:42:19.519><c> when</c><00:42:19.800><c> Balaak</c><00:42:20.219><c> wanted</c><00:42:20.500><c> Balaam</c><00:42:20.820><c> to</c><00:42:21.079><c> curse,</c>

00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:23.179
I<00:42:21.400><c> wouldn't</c><00:42:21.639><c> let</c><00:42:21.860><c> him</c><00:42:22.039><c> curse</c><00:42:22.280><c> you.</c>

00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:27.860
All<00:42:24.360><c> he</c><00:42:24.519><c> could</c><00:42:24.719><c> do</c><00:42:25.599><c> was</c><00:42:26.420><c> to</c><00:42:26.639><c> bless</c><00:42:26.860><c> you.</c>

00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:30.139
That's<00:42:28.340><c> what</c><00:42:28.500><c> I've</c><00:42:28.719><c> done</c><00:42:28.940><c> for</c><00:42:29.179><c> you.</c>

00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:31.440
And<00:42:30.380><c> I've</c><00:42:30.699><c> treated</c><00:42:30.880><c> you</c><00:42:31.079><c> that</c><00:42:31.239><c> way.</c>

00:42:31.539 --> 00:42:34.619
Everything<00:42:31.980><c> has</c><00:42:32.599><c> been</c><00:42:32.880><c> blessing</c><00:42:33.199><c> for</c><00:42:33.460><c> your</c><00:42:33.679><c> own</c><00:42:33.860><c> good.</c>

00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:39.079
And<00:42:35.320><c> then</c><00:42:36.139><c> he</c><00:42:36.500><c> says,</c><00:42:37.360><c> from</c><00:42:37.360><c> Shittim</c><00:42:38.260><c> unto</c><00:42:38.699><c> Gilgal.</c>

00:42:39.139 --> 00:42:43.139
So<00:42:39.300><c> I</c><00:42:39.519><c> brought</c><00:42:39.760><c> you</c><00:42:40.179><c> across</c><00:42:40.659><c> the</c><00:42:40.900><c> river</c><00:42:41.159><c> into</c><00:42:42.059><c> the</c><00:42:42.280><c> promised</c><00:42:42.599><c> land,</c>

00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:46.559
into<00:42:43.900><c> Gilgal,</c><00:42:44.300><c> and</c><00:42:44.460><c> I</c><00:42:44.719><c> rolled</c><00:42:44.880><c> back,</c><00:42:45.639><c> as</c><00:42:45.800><c> Gilgal</c><00:42:46.139><c> means,</c>

00:42:46.940 --> 00:42:48.739
the<00:42:47.039><c> reproach</c><00:42:48.219><c> of</c><00:42:48.460><c> Egypt,</c>

00:42:48.739 --> 00:42:51.539
and<00:42:48.880><c> I</c><00:42:49.059><c> brought</c><00:42:49.360><c> you</c><00:42:49.579><c> then</c><00:42:49.699><c> into</c><00:42:49.880><c> the</c><00:42:50.119><c> promised</c><00:42:50.340><c> land.</c>

00:42:52.579 --> 00:42:57.159
God<00:42:52.760><c> says,</c><00:42:54.860><c> what</c><00:42:54.980><c> else</c><00:42:55.199><c> could</c><00:42:55.400><c> I</c><00:42:55.519><c> have</c><00:42:55.659><c> done</c><00:42:56.179><c> for</c><00:42:56.800><c> you?</c>

00:42:57.420 --> 00:42:59.320
What<00:42:57.659><c> more</c><00:42:57.960><c> could</c><00:42:58.119><c> have</c><00:42:58.219><c> been</c><00:42:58.360><c> done?</c>

00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:02.340
Right?

00:43:02.940 --> 00:43:06.159
And<00:43:03.139><c> so</c><00:43:03.239><c> he</c><00:43:03.300><c> has</c><00:43:03.519><c> these</c><00:43:03.820><c> three</c><00:43:04.440><c> items</c><00:43:04.840><c> that</c><00:43:05.039><c> he</c><00:43:05.199><c> says.</c>

00:43:07.139 --> 00:43:10.079
And<00:43:07.239><c> that's</c><00:43:07.400><c> God's</c><00:43:07.800><c> case</c><00:43:08.659><c> against</c><00:43:09.219><c> them.</c>

00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:14.860
Then<00:43:12.300><c> the</c><00:43:12.500><c> spokesman</c><00:43:12.940><c> for</c><00:43:13.119><c> the</c><00:43:13.320><c> defense</c><00:43:13.880><c> speaks.</c>

00:43:15.219 --> 00:43:18.559
Right,<00:43:15.500><c> so</c><00:43:15.760><c> Micah</c><00:43:16.079><c> has</c><00:43:16.380><c> called</c><00:43:16.699><c> the</c><00:43:17.239><c> hearing</c><00:43:17.500><c> to</c><00:43:17.780><c> order,</c>

00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:29.980
He<00:43:27.119><c> says,</c><00:43:27.579><c> wherewith</c><00:43:27.880><c> shall</c><00:43:28.079><c> I</c><00:43:28.239><c> come</c><00:43:28.519><c> before</c><00:43:28.940><c> Yahweh?</c>

And<00:46:59.119><c> so</c><00:46:59.280><c> we</c><00:46:59.480><c> conclude</c><00:47:00.280><c> our</c><00:47:00.719><c> thoughts</c><00:47:00.920><c> this</c><00:47:01.139><c> morning</c>

00:47:04.780 --> 00:47:06.219
that<00:47:04.940><c> God</c><00:47:05.199><c> took</c><00:47:05.480><c> him</c><00:47:05.760><c> through</c>

00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:11.860
So<00:47:09.119><c> God</c><00:47:09.340><c> provided</c><00:47:10.039><c> a</c><00:47:10.480><c> teacher</c><00:47:10.840><c> in</c><00:47:10.980><c> his</c><00:47:11.239><c> life,</c>

00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:25.199
God<00:47:22.719><c> brought</c><00:47:23.059><c> then</c><00:47:23.360><c> a</c><00:47:23.619><c> crisis</c><00:47:24.019><c> into</c><00:47:24.300><c> Judah,</c>

00:47:27.820 --> 00:47:30.019
to<00:47:28.039><c> say</c><00:47:28.159><c> we've</c><00:47:28.500><c> got</c><00:47:28.659><c> to</c><00:47:28.840><c> do</c><00:47:29.059><c> something.</c>

00:47:31.260 --> 00:47:34.239
He<00:47:31.320><c> then</c><00:47:31.559><c> brought</c><00:47:32.219><c> Micah</c><00:47:32.719><c> into</c><00:47:33.800><c> his</c><00:47:34.059><c> life,</c>

00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:36.099
and<00:47:34.440><c> Micah</c><00:47:34.699><c> told</c><00:47:35.039><c> him</c><00:47:35.380><c> the</c><00:47:35.679><c> problem,</c>

00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:38.960
and<00:47:36.500><c> Micah</c><00:47:36.820><c> showed</c><00:47:37.119><c> him</c><00:47:37.280><c> what</c><00:47:37.420><c> needed</c><00:47:37.679><c> to</c><00:47:37.860><c> be</c><00:47:38.039><c> done.</c>

00:47:39.780 --> 00:47:41.099
And<00:47:39.900><c> he</c><00:47:40.079><c> listened.</c>

00:47:41.619 --> 00:47:44.079
And<00:47:41.800><c> he</c><00:47:41.940><c> accepted</c><00:47:42.219><c> the</c><00:47:42.380><c> words</c><00:47:42.559><c> of</c><00:47:42.800><c> Micah.</c>

00:47:45.099 --> 00:47:48.139
And<00:47:45.380><c> he</c><00:47:45.559><c> accepted</c><00:47:45.860><c> God's</c><00:47:47.019><c> rebuke.</c>

00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:53.480
Our<00:47:49.860><c> obedience</c><00:47:50.320><c> then</c><00:47:51.619><c> to</c><00:47:52.659><c> God</c><00:47:52.920><c> must</c><00:47:53.119><c> be</c><00:47:53.320><c> given</c>

00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:55.840
because<00:47:53.980><c> we</c><00:47:54.420><c> want</c><00:47:54.699><c> to</c><00:47:54.920><c> give</c><00:47:55.059><c> it.</c>

00:47:56.860 --> 00:48:00.820
We<00:47:56.920><c> must</c><00:47:57.139><c> be</c><00:47:57.440><c> kind</c><00:47:57.659><c> to</c><00:47:57.880><c> each</c><00:47:58.059><c> other</c><00:47:58.260><c> as</c><00:47:58.420><c> God</c><00:47:58.940><c> is</c><00:47:59.420><c> kind</c><00:47:59.639><c> to</c><00:47:59.840><c> us.</c>

00:48:01.659 --> 00:48:06.880
And<00:48:01.960><c> we</c><00:48:02.079><c> must</c><00:48:02.280><c> work</c><00:48:02.960><c> for</c><00:48:03.420><c> God's</c><00:48:04.139><c> honor</c><00:48:04.420><c> and</c><00:48:05.719><c> not</c><00:48:05.940><c> our</c><00:48:06.119><c> own.</c>

00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:10.420
And<00:48:07.519><c> that's</c><00:48:07.739><c> really</c><00:48:08.059><c> what</c><00:48:08.380><c> Hezekiah</c><00:48:09.360><c> does.</c>

00:48:11.079 --> 00:48:12.599
