00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.439
confusing<00:00:33.159><c> yesterday.</c>

00:00:37.219 --> 00:00:42.320
I,<00:00:37.740><c> in</c><00:00:38.259><c> trying</c><00:00:38.399><c> to</c><00:00:38.579><c> make</c><00:00:38.719><c> certain</c><00:00:39.060><c> points,</c><00:00:40.060><c> was</c><00:00:40.880><c> fairly</c><00:00:41.359><c> freely</c><00:00:41.840><c> using</c>

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.079
Josiah's<00:00:43.060><c> age</c><00:00:43.340><c> and</c><00:00:43.520><c> the</c><00:00:43.700><c> years</c><00:00:43.840><c> of</c><00:00:44.039><c> his</c><00:00:44.320><c> reign</c><00:00:44.560><c> sort</c><00:00:44.820><c> of</c><00:00:45.079><c> interchangeably</c><00:00:45.820><c> and</c>

00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:47.880
probably<00:00:46.659><c> confusing</c><00:00:47.439><c> everyone.</c>

00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:52.799
So<00:00:48.460><c> I</c><00:00:49.219><c> got</c><00:00:49.640><c> out</c><00:00:49.920><c> the</c><00:00:50.179><c> colored</c><00:00:50.399><c> pencils</c><00:00:50.759><c> last</c><00:00:51.100><c> night</c><00:00:51.399><c> and</c><00:00:52.460><c> tried</c>

00:00:55.259 --> 00:00:56.799
bit<00:00:55.380><c> more</c><00:00:55.700><c> understandable.</c>

00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.060
Just<00:00:59.820><c> quickly</c><00:01:00.299><c> to</c><00:01:00.500><c> go</c><00:01:00.700><c> through</c><00:01:00.939><c> so</c><00:01:01.140><c> we</c><00:01:01.299><c> have</c><00:01:01.479><c> an</c><00:01:01.780><c> idea</c><00:01:02.060><c> of</c><00:01:02.299><c> chronologically</c><00:01:02.840><c> what</c>

very<00:01:10.980><c> accurate.</c>

00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:16.200
I<00:01:12.000><c> know</c><00:01:12.200><c> sometimes</c><00:01:12.620><c> you</c><00:01:12.780><c> have</c><00:01:12.980><c> to</c><00:01:13.180><c> be</c><00:01:14.819><c> willing</c><00:01:15.319><c> to</c><00:01:15.519><c> have</c><00:01:15.819><c> a</c><00:01:16.000><c> lot</c>

It's<00:01:49.659><c> a</c><00:01:50.180><c> wonderful</c><00:01:50.599><c> book.</c><00:01:50.939><c> Unfortunately,</c><00:01:51.420><c> it's</c><00:01:51.620><c> out</c><00:01:51.780><c> of</c><00:01:51.959><c> print</c><00:01:52.079><c> now</c>

00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:57.720
And<00:04:55.579><c> that's</c><00:04:55.839><c> when</c><00:04:56.000><c> the</c><00:04:56.139><c> book</c><00:04:56.240><c> of</c><00:04:56.399><c> the</c><00:04:56.500><c> law</c><00:04:56.600><c> was</c><00:04:56.899><c> found.</c><00:04:57.120><c> And</c><00:04:57.300><c> that</c><00:04:57.399><c> was</c><00:04:57.579><c> in</c>

00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:02.139

00:05:02.139 --> 00:05:04.699

00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:11.120
And<00:05:06.379><c> then</c><00:05:06.720><c> finally,</c><00:05:08.139><c> we've</c><00:05:08.680><c> alluded</c><00:05:08.879><c> to</c><00:05:09.079><c> this</c><00:05:09.300><c> a</c><00:05:09.459><c> lot,</c><00:05:09.660><c> but</c><00:05:09.779><c> we've</c><00:05:10.040><c> not</c><00:05:10.560><c> looked</c><00:05:10.939><c> at</c>

00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.819
it<00:05:11.300><c> yet</c><00:05:11.560><c> in</c><00:05:12.579><c> his</c><00:05:13.339><c> 31st</c><00:05:14.079><c> year,</c><00:05:14.560><c> which</c><00:05:14.720><c> would</c><00:05:14.879><c> have</c><00:05:14.980><c> been</c><00:05:15.079><c> the</c><00:05:15.240><c> last</c><00:05:15.500><c> year</c><00:05:15.660><c> of</c>

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:24.560
And<00:05:18.680><c> that's</c><00:05:19.459><c> pretty</c><00:05:19.819><c> easily</c><00:05:21.040><c> established</c><00:05:23.399><c> because</c><00:05:24.060><c> the</c><00:05:24.360><c> king</c>

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:28.939

00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.779
And<00:05:31.480><c> after</c><00:05:31.879><c> a</c><00:05:32.120><c> long</c><00:05:32.319><c> battle,</c><00:05:32.720><c> four</c><00:05:33.000><c> years</c><00:05:33.199><c> later,</c><00:05:33.459><c> he's</c><00:05:33.699><c> going</c>

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.699

And<00:06:21.680><c> it's</c><00:06:21.920><c> the</c><00:06:22.120><c> thing</c><00:06:22.259><c> that's</c><00:06:22.600><c> most</c><00:06:23.079><c> frightening</c><00:06:23.500><c> to</c><00:06:23.839><c> me.</c>

00:06:24.139 --> 00:06:27.620
I<00:06:24.800><c> think</c><00:06:25.040><c> that</c><00:06:25.300><c> his</c><00:06:25.720><c> reaction</c><00:06:26.459><c> to</c><00:06:26.720><c> finding</c><00:06:26.939><c> the</c><00:06:27.139><c> book</c><00:06:27.319><c> of</c><00:06:27.480><c> the</c>

00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.339
something<00:06:39.199><c> I</c><00:06:39.300><c> think</c><00:06:39.500><c> we</c><00:06:39.680><c> need</c><00:06:39.839><c> to</c><00:06:40.300><c> hold</c><00:06:40.620><c> on</c><00:06:40.920><c> to</c><00:06:41.100><c> because</c><00:06:41.540><c> it's</c>

00:10:16.820 --> 00:10:20.700
Well,<00:10:17.720><c> just</c><00:10:17.960><c> on</c><00:10:18.139><c> a</c><00:10:18.279><c> whim,</c><00:10:18.740><c> I</c><00:10:18.960><c> went</c><00:10:19.080><c> to</c><00:10:19.220><c> the</c><00:10:19.440><c> index</c><00:10:19.580><c> and</c><00:10:19.720><c> I</c><00:10:19.840><c> looked</c><00:10:19.940><c> up</c><00:10:20.179><c> Josiah.</c>

00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:22.440
There<00:10:21.039><c> was</c><00:10:21.340><c> a</c><00:10:21.799><c> section</c><00:10:22.120><c> on</c><00:10:22.299><c> it.</c>

00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.080
And<00:10:22.600><c> what</c><00:10:22.740><c> it</c><00:10:22.960><c> is,</c><00:10:23.580><c> if</c><00:10:23.740><c> you</c><00:10:23.899><c> can</c><00:10:24.200><c> see</c><00:10:24.360><c> these</c><00:10:24.620><c> all,</c><00:10:24.779><c> it's</c><00:10:24.919><c> not</c>

00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:26.679
important<00:10:25.460><c> that</c><00:10:25.679><c> you</c><00:10:26.299><c> you</c><00:10:26.299><c> see</c><00:10:26.519><c> them.</c>

00:10:26.700 --> 00:10:30.759
But<00:10:27.120><c> what</c><00:10:27.419><c> these</c><00:10:27.700><c> are</c><00:10:28.000><c> are</c><00:10:28.399><c> seals</c><00:10:28.840><c> for</c><00:10:29.820><c> when</c><00:10:29.980><c> they</c><00:10:30.179><c> would</c><00:10:30.419><c> send</c>

00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:32.639
correspondence<00:10:31.659><c> and</c><00:10:32.120><c> so</c><00:10:32.399><c> on.</c>

00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:37.059
And<00:10:33.220><c> this</c><00:10:33.419><c> is</c><00:10:33.860><c> from</c><00:10:34.240><c> a</c><00:10:34.460><c> man</c><00:10:34.899><c> that</c><00:10:35.240><c> was</c><00:10:35.460><c> named</c><00:10:35.799><c> Hainan.</c>

00:10:37.100 --> 00:10:41.799
And<00:10:37.320><c> it</c><00:10:37.539><c> says</c><00:10:37.799><c> that</c><00:10:38.240><c> he</c><00:10:38.399><c> was</c><00:10:38.639><c> the</c><00:10:38.919><c> son</c><00:10:39.539><c> of</c><00:10:40.440><c> Hilkiah.</c>

00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:46.500
And<00:10:42.559><c> almost</c><00:10:43.120><c> for</c><00:10:43.480><c> sure</c><00:10:43.879><c> by</c><00:10:44.519><c> the</c><00:10:44.759><c> way</c><00:10:44.919><c> this</c><00:10:45.159><c> is</c><00:10:45.360><c> done,</c><00:10:46.100><c> the</c><00:10:46.240><c> era</c>

00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:48.039
that<00:10:46.679><c> it</c><00:10:46.799><c> was</c><00:10:47.000><c> the</c><00:10:47.200><c> place</c><00:10:47.480><c> that</c><00:10:47.620><c> it</c><00:10:47.720><c> was</c><00:10:47.879><c> founded.</c>

00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.059
Actually,<00:10:48.500><c> this</c><00:10:48.639><c> was</c><00:10:48.940><c> these</c><00:10:49.320><c> were</c><00:10:49.600><c> found</c><00:10:49.799><c> in</c><00:10:50.159><c> antiquities</c><00:10:50.639><c> markets.</c>

00:10:51.100 --> 00:10:55.639
But<00:10:51.500><c> it's</c><00:10:52.080><c> very</c><00:10:52.500><c> similar</c><00:10:52.860><c> to</c><00:10:53.139><c> other</c><00:10:53.419><c> finds</c><00:10:53.860><c> that</c><00:10:54.720><c> date</c><00:10:55.039><c> back</c>

00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:57.299
exactly<00:10:56.220><c> to</c><00:10:56.440><c> this</c><00:10:56.679><c> time</c><00:10:56.940><c> period.</c>

00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:01.580
They've<00:10:57.779><c> actually</c><00:10:58.080><c> found</c><00:10:58.419><c> a</c><00:10:58.779><c> couple</c><00:10:59.120><c> this</c><00:11:00.399><c> they're</c><00:11:00.799><c> done</c><00:11:00.960><c> in</c><00:11:01.220><c> reverse.</c>

00:11:01.580 --> 00:11:04.220
So<00:11:01.759><c> that's</c><00:11:02.019><c> why</c><00:11:02.279><c> the</c><00:11:02.539><c> over</c><00:11:02.759><c> here</c><00:11:03.200><c> they've</c><00:11:03.879><c> showed</c><00:11:03.980><c> you</c><00:11:04.120><c> what</c>

00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:04.980
it<00:11:04.340><c> would</c><00:11:04.500><c> look</c><00:11:04.740><c> like.</c>

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:05.740
The<00:11:05.179><c> real</c><00:11:05.399><c> symbol.</c>

00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:08.580
I<00:11:05.899><c> don't</c><00:11:06.159><c> I'm</c><00:11:06.399><c> not</c><00:11:06.679><c> very</c><00:11:06.899><c> good</c><00:11:06.980><c> with</c><00:11:07.179><c> my</c><00:11:07.679><c> Hebrew</c><00:11:07.940><c> alphabet,</c><00:11:08.399><c> so</c>

00:11:08.580 --> 00:11:10.720
I<00:11:08.700><c> can't</c><00:11:08.960><c> really</c><00:11:09.419><c> go</c><00:11:09.720><c> through</c><00:11:09.919><c> any</c><00:11:10.100><c> of</c><00:11:10.200><c> this</c><00:11:10.320><c> for</c><00:11:10.580><c> you.</c>

00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.860
But<00:11:11.159><c> both</c><00:11:11.580><c> of</c><00:11:11.799><c> these</c><00:11:12.059><c> mention</c><00:11:12.440><c> Hilkiah's</c><00:11:13.159><c> name</c><00:11:13.340><c> and</c><00:11:13.600><c> surely</c>

00:11:13.860 --> 00:11:18.179
one<00:11:14.139><c> of</c><00:11:14.320><c> them</c><00:11:14.620><c> is</c><00:11:15.159><c> probably</c><00:11:15.740><c> the</c><00:11:16.779><c> the</c><00:11:17.179><c> one</c><00:11:17.440><c> that</c><00:11:17.580><c> we're</c><00:11:17.740><c> talking</c><00:11:17.960><c> about</c>

00:11:18.179 --> 00:11:20.940
or<00:11:18.580><c> both</c><00:11:19.200><c> or</c><00:11:19.580><c> from</c><00:11:19.919><c> that</c><00:11:20.279><c> time</c><00:11:20.580><c> period.</c>

00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:26.600
So<00:11:21.100><c> there</c><00:11:21.279><c> is</c><00:11:21.500><c> a</c><00:11:21.899><c> lot</c><00:11:22.139><c> of</c><00:11:22.580><c> things</c><00:11:22.860><c> that</c><00:11:23.379><c> establish</c><00:11:24.080><c> the</c><00:11:25.000><c> biblical</c><00:11:25.580><c> record</c>

00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.539
that<00:11:26.779><c> we</c><00:11:27.000><c> have</c><00:11:27.200><c> here,</c><00:11:27.580><c> even</c><00:11:28.139><c> in</c><00:11:28.799><c> archaeology.</c>

00:11:29.539 --> 00:11:33.700
And<00:11:29.940><c> this</c><00:11:30.179><c> Hilkiah</c><00:11:30.700><c> must</c><00:11:30.980><c> have</c><00:11:31.120><c> been</c><00:11:31.240><c> an</c><00:11:31.419><c> outstanding</c><00:11:32.080><c> character</c><00:11:32.580><c> because</c><00:11:33.120><c> as</c><00:11:33.580><c> you</c>

00:11:33.700 --> 00:11:35.299
go<00:11:33.960><c> on</c><00:11:34.179><c> in</c><00:11:34.340><c> the</c><00:11:34.480><c> history</c><00:11:34.700><c> of</c><00:11:34.879><c> Israel,</c>

00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.059
it<00:11:35.759><c> seems</c><00:11:36.039><c> like</c><00:11:36.299><c> they</c><00:11:36.759><c> trace</c><00:11:37.159><c> their</c><00:11:37.559><c> ancestry</c><00:11:38.059><c> if</c><00:11:38.220><c> they're</c><00:11:38.500><c> related</c><00:11:38.820><c> to</c>

00:11:39.059 --> 00:11:40.480
him<00:11:39.379><c> back</c><00:11:39.820><c> to</c><00:11:40.100><c> him.</c>

00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:42.259
He's<00:11:41.159><c> like</c><00:11:41.419><c> the</c><00:11:41.580><c> key</c><00:11:41.779><c> person.</c>

00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:47.940
So<00:11:42.679><c> when</c><00:11:42.840><c> you</c><00:11:43.019><c> get</c><00:11:43.159><c> into</c><00:11:43.419><c> the</c><00:11:43.639><c> time</c><00:11:43.840><c> of</c><00:11:44.120><c> Ezra,</c><00:11:45.340><c> you're</c><00:11:45.639><c> going</c><00:11:45.759><c> to</c><00:11:45.940><c> find</c><00:11:46.259><c> that</c><00:11:46.820><c> Ezra</c><00:11:47.379><c> is</c><00:11:47.659><c> a</c>

00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:50.259
relative<00:11:48.399><c> of</c><00:11:49.200><c> this</c><00:11:49.539><c> Hilkiah.</c>

00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:53.399
And<00:11:50.620><c> he</c><00:11:50.779><c> traces</c><00:11:51.080><c> his</c><00:11:51.360><c> roots</c><00:11:51.559><c> back</c><00:11:52.179><c> that</c><00:11:52.600><c> far.</c>

00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:59.120
I'm<00:11:53.799><c> of</c><00:11:53.899><c> the</c><00:11:54.139><c> opinion,</c><00:11:54.840><c> too,</c><00:11:55.299><c> that</c><00:11:55.820><c> Jeremiah</c><00:11:56.480><c> is</c><00:11:57.340><c> also</c><00:11:57.840><c> a</c><00:11:58.240><c> relative</c><00:11:58.539><c> of</c><00:11:58.639><c> Hilkiah.</c>

00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:02.299
I<00:11:59.440><c> believe</c><00:11:59.720><c> that</c><00:12:00.360><c> Jeremiah</c><00:12:00.919><c> was</c><00:12:01.620><c> his</c><00:12:02.039><c> son.</c>

00:12:02.740 --> 00:12:04.879
But<00:12:02.940><c> there</c><00:12:03.159><c> are</c><00:12:03.179><c> some</c><00:12:03.379><c> people</c><00:12:03.600><c> that</c><00:12:03.820><c> don't</c><00:12:04.419><c> don't</c><00:12:04.559><c> think</c><00:12:04.700><c> that</c>

00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:05.539
that's<00:12:05.200><c> correct.</c>

00:12:05.659 --> 00:12:07.320
But<00:12:06.000><c> I</c><00:12:06.559><c> believe</c><00:12:06.759><c> that's</c><00:12:07.080><c> true.</c>

00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:12.379
If<00:12:08.000><c> that's</c><00:12:08.440><c> the</c><00:12:08.600><c> case,</c><00:12:09.480><c> then</c><00:12:10.019><c> the</c><00:12:10.679><c> prophetess</c><00:12:11.600><c> that</c><00:12:11.980><c> the</c><00:12:12.240><c> king</c>

00:12:12.379 --> 00:12:16.220
is<00:12:12.639><c> going</c><00:12:12.759><c> to</c><00:12:13.019><c> send</c><00:12:13.179><c> Hilkiah</c><00:12:13.879><c> to</c><00:12:14.059><c> go</c><00:12:14.419><c> see</c><00:12:14.740><c> would</c><00:12:15.200><c> actually</c><00:12:15.639><c> be</c>

00:12:16.220 --> 00:12:19.919
Hilkiah's<00:12:16.919><c> mother</c><00:12:17.240><c> and</c><00:12:17.740><c> would</c><00:12:17.899><c> be</c><00:12:18.740><c> Jeremiah's</c><00:12:19.460><c> grandmother.</c>

00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:25.059
And<00:12:20.340><c> I</c><00:12:20.500><c> think</c><00:12:20.860><c> if</c><00:12:21.240><c> we</c><00:12:21.419><c> look</c><00:12:21.600><c> at</c><00:12:21.799><c> it</c><00:12:21.960><c> with</c><00:12:22.159><c> how</c><00:12:22.460><c> much</c><00:12:23.220><c> access</c><00:12:23.879><c> Jeremiah</c><00:12:24.500><c> has</c>

00:12:25.059 --> 00:12:28.879
to<00:12:25.620><c> prominent</c><00:12:26.139><c> people</c><00:12:26.759><c> in</c><00:12:27.240><c> Judah</c><00:12:27.639><c> during</c><00:12:28.299><c> his</c><00:12:28.659><c> reign,</c>

00:12:29.100 --> 00:12:33.799
even<00:12:29.320><c> though</c><00:12:29.500><c> he</c><00:12:29.759><c> spent</c><00:12:30.059><c> the</c><00:12:30.399><c> whole</c><00:12:30.620><c> of</c><00:12:30.799><c> his</c><00:12:31.059><c> reign</c><00:12:31.519><c> condemning</c><00:12:32.240><c> the</c><00:12:32.379><c> people</c><00:12:32.679><c> of</c><00:12:32.899><c> Israel</c><00:12:33.259><c> or</c>

00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:36.360
the<00:12:33.919><c> people</c><00:12:34.179><c> of</c><00:12:34.440><c> Judah</c><00:12:34.740><c> for</c><00:12:35.200><c> their</c><00:12:35.500><c> attitude</c><00:12:35.879><c> and</c><00:12:35.980><c> what</c><00:12:36.139><c> they</c>

00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:36.980
were<00:12:36.600><c> doing,</c>

00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.980
he<00:12:37.460><c> should</c><00:12:37.620><c> have</c><00:12:37.740><c> been</c><00:12:37.840><c> somebody</c><00:12:38.120><c> that</c><00:12:38.340><c> was</c><00:12:38.820><c> just</c><00:12:39.220><c> cast</c><00:12:39.500><c> out.</c>

00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:43.299
He<00:12:40.399><c> always</c><00:12:40.799><c> seems</c><00:12:41.100><c> to</c><00:12:41.299><c> be</c><00:12:41.460><c> able</c><00:12:41.639><c> to</c><00:12:42.100><c> get</c><00:12:42.299><c> into</c><00:12:42.600><c> the</c><00:12:42.940><c> presence</c>

00:12:43.299 --> 00:12:45.320
of<00:12:43.700><c> the</c><00:12:43.879><c> principal</c><00:12:44.220><c> people</c><00:12:44.600><c> in</c><00:12:44.799><c> the</c><00:12:44.960><c> kingdom.</c>

00:12:45.379 --> 00:12:47.779
It's<00:12:45.779><c> probably</c><00:12:46.200><c> because</c><00:12:46.700><c> of</c><00:12:46.940><c> the</c><00:12:47.200><c> relationship.</c>

00:12:47.779 --> 00:12:51.600
So<00:12:48.360><c> I</c><00:12:48.720><c> think</c><00:12:48.879><c> there</c><00:12:48.980><c> was</c><00:12:49.179><c> a</c><00:12:49.320><c> lot</c><00:12:49.500><c> of</c><00:12:49.919><c> interrelationship</c><00:12:50.740><c> in</c><00:12:50.860><c> the</c><00:12:51.019><c> people</c><00:12:51.220><c> that</c><00:12:51.379><c> we</c>

00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.639
read<00:12:51.820><c> about</c><00:12:52.299><c> in</c><00:12:52.840><c> in</c><00:12:53.240><c> the</c><00:12:53.419><c> account.</c>

00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:00.639
But<00:12:57.360><c> what</c><00:12:57.480><c> we're</c><00:12:57.600><c> really</c><00:12:57.820><c> here</c><00:12:58.039><c> for</c><00:12:58.259><c> today</c><00:12:58.519><c> is</c><00:12:58.940><c> is</c><00:12:59.539><c> the</c><00:12:59.759><c> extortational</c><00:13:00.320><c> value,</c>

00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:02.519
the<00:13:00.840><c> things</c><00:13:01.000><c> that</c><00:13:01.159><c> we</c><00:13:01.299><c> can</c><00:13:01.480><c> learn</c><00:13:01.679><c> for</c><00:13:01.960><c> ourselves.</c>

00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:05.480
And<00:13:03.000><c> I</c><00:13:03.059><c> think</c><00:13:03.200><c> we</c><00:13:03.379><c> see</c><00:13:03.480><c> it</c><00:13:03.639><c> very</c><00:13:03.899><c> clearly</c><00:13:04.240><c> in</c><00:13:04.600><c> the</c><00:13:04.820><c> life</c><00:13:05.120><c> of</c>

00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:06.779
King<00:13:05.700><c> Josiah.</c>

00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:08.960
How<00:13:07.360><c> did</c><00:13:07.480><c> he</c><00:13:07.639><c> react</c><00:13:07.940><c> when</c><00:13:08.100><c> he</c><00:13:08.279><c> heard</c><00:13:08.379><c> the</c><00:13:08.659><c> word?</c>

00:13:09.220 --> 00:13:11.080
Now,<00:13:09.639><c> let's</c><00:13:09.940><c> put</c><00:13:10.100><c> this</c><00:13:10.299><c> in</c><00:13:10.480><c> perspective.</c>

00:13:11.419 --> 00:13:15.220
This<00:13:11.620><c> is</c><00:13:11.940><c> a</c><00:13:12.440><c> young</c><00:13:12.720><c> man</c><00:13:13.240><c> that</c><00:13:13.620><c> has</c><00:13:14.080><c> given</c><00:13:14.259><c> his</c><00:13:14.580><c> heart</c><00:13:14.879><c> wholly</c>

00:13:15.220 --> 00:13:16.139
over<00:13:15.539><c> to</c><00:13:15.700><c> God.</c>

00:13:16.139 --> 00:13:20.620
He's<00:13:17.039><c> done</c><00:13:17.279><c> everything</c><00:13:17.779><c> he</c><00:13:18.100><c> can</c><00:13:18.580><c> with</c><00:13:18.940><c> the</c><00:13:19.139><c> knowledge</c><00:13:19.419><c> he</c><00:13:19.700><c> has.</c>

00:13:20.700 --> 00:13:25.720
It<00:13:20.700><c> would</c><00:13:20.919><c> appear</c><00:13:21.399><c> he's</c><00:13:22.539><c> he</c><00:13:22.899><c> has</c><00:13:23.779><c> decided</c><00:13:24.240><c> that</c><00:13:24.840><c> the</c><00:13:25.240><c> idolatry</c>

00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:27.220

00:13:27.539 --> 00:13:30.679
that<00:13:27.980><c> right</c><00:13:28.240><c> worship</c><00:13:28.659><c> has</c><00:13:28.919><c> to</c><00:13:29.059><c> be</c><00:13:29.279><c> instituted,</c><00:13:29.679><c> that</c><00:13:29.840><c> the</c><00:13:30.059><c> temple</c><00:13:30.299><c> has</c>

00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:33.360
It<00:13:32.200><c> has</c><00:13:32.399><c> to</c><00:13:32.559><c> be</c><00:13:32.840><c> cleared</c><00:13:33.039><c> out.</c>

00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.860
And<00:13:33.559><c> then</c><00:13:33.980><c> the</c><00:13:34.720><c> the</c><00:13:35.039><c> service</c><00:13:35.200><c> of</c><00:13:35.360><c> the</c><00:13:35.519><c> temple</c><00:13:35.700><c> has</c><00:13:35.960><c> to</c><00:13:36.139><c> be</c><00:13:36.340><c> reestablished.</c>

00:13:36.860 --> 00:13:40.600

00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.419
Seemingly,<00:13:44.879><c> he's</c><00:13:45.159><c> done</c><00:13:45.519><c> everything</c><00:13:46.100><c> that</c><00:13:46.299><c> could</c><00:13:46.460><c> be</c><00:13:46.740><c> expected</c><00:13:47.360><c> with</c><00:13:47.919><c> what</c><00:13:48.120><c> he</c>

00:13:52.220 --> 00:13:54.399

Now,<00:13:55.519><c> I'd</c><00:13:55.860><c> just</c><00:13:55.860><c> like</c><00:13:55.960><c> to</c><00:13:56.120><c> put</c><00:13:56.220><c> myself</c><00:13:56.860><c> in</c><00:13:57.019><c> his</c><00:13:57.279><c> position</c><00:13:57.639><c> right</c><00:13:57.940><c> now.</c>

00:13:58.740 --> 00:13:59.820
All<00:13:58.940><c> right.</c>

00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:02.340
Let's<00:14:00.059><c> say</c><00:14:00.200><c> we</c><00:14:00.419><c> discover</c><00:14:00.799><c> something</c><00:14:01.139><c> that</c><00:14:01.340><c> we</c><00:14:01.519><c> feel</c><00:14:01.679><c> is</c><00:14:01.960><c> very</c>

00:14:02.340 --> 00:14:05.980
authoritative<00:14:03.240><c> that</c><00:14:03.639><c> we</c><00:14:03.899><c> didn't</c><00:14:04.240><c> know</c><00:14:04.559><c> about</c><00:14:04.879><c> before</c><00:14:05.419><c> that</c>

00:14:05.980 --> 00:14:08.360
does<00:14:06.480><c> talk</c><00:14:06.820><c> about</c><00:14:07.200><c> the</c><00:14:07.519><c> will</c><00:14:07.659><c> of</c><00:14:07.899><c> the</c><00:14:08.080><c> Lord.</c>

00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:16.200
Let's<00:14:09.340><c> just</c><00:14:09.720><c> say</c><00:14:09.960><c> I</c><00:14:10.299><c> do</c><00:14:10.740><c> find</c><00:14:11.139><c> out</c><00:14:11.639><c> that</c><00:14:11.919><c> we're</c><00:14:12.159><c> not</c><00:14:12.600><c> doing</c><00:14:13.120><c> exactly</c><00:14:13.840><c> everything</c><00:14:14.559><c> correct</c><00:14:15.279><c> according</c><00:14:15.940><c> to</c>

00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:17.419
what<00:14:16.440><c> God</c><00:14:16.720><c> had</c><00:14:17.080><c> said.</c>

00:14:17.740 --> 00:14:19.879
I<00:14:17.899><c> wonder</c><00:14:18.000><c> what</c><00:14:18.139><c> my</c><00:14:18.460><c> reaction</c><00:14:18.840><c> would</c><00:14:19.059><c> be.</c>

00:14:20.019 --> 00:14:22.960
I<00:14:20.139><c> think</c><00:14:20.299><c> what</c><00:14:20.440><c> I</c><00:14:20.519><c> would</c><00:14:20.720><c> probably</c><00:14:21.039><c> do</c><00:14:21.299><c> is</c><00:14:21.460><c> think</c><00:14:21.720><c> this</c><00:14:22.039><c> first.</c>

00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:26.100
I've<00:14:23.620><c> really</c><00:14:23.820><c> done</c><00:14:24.039><c> everything</c><00:14:24.539><c> that</c><00:14:24.759><c> I</c><00:14:25.080><c> could</c><00:14:25.279><c> do.</c>

00:14:26.179 --> 00:14:28.740
I<00:14:26.320><c> put</c><00:14:26.580><c> my</c><00:14:26.879><c> heart</c><00:14:27.080><c> to</c><00:14:27.379><c> serving</c><00:14:27.639><c> God.</c>

00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:32.700
And<00:14:28.860><c> so</c><00:14:29.419><c> surely</c><00:14:29.899><c> he's</c><00:14:30.159><c> going</c><00:14:30.340><c> to</c><00:14:30.600><c> overlook</c><00:14:31.120><c> my</c><00:14:31.899><c> little</c><00:14:32.299><c> faults</c>

00:14:32.700 --> 00:14:35.519
and<00:14:32.919><c> not</c><00:14:33.120><c> having</c><00:14:33.500><c> complete</c><00:14:34.179><c> information.</c>

00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:37.980
Surely<00:14:36.559><c> I've</c><00:14:36.899><c> gotten</c><00:14:37.000><c> a</c><00:14:37.200><c> good</c><00:14:37.360><c> start</c><00:14:37.659><c> here.</c>

00:14:37.980 --> 00:14:41.419
I've<00:14:38.460><c> done</c><00:14:38.740><c> a</c><00:14:39.059><c> pretty</c><00:14:39.320><c> good</c><00:14:39.580><c> job,</c><00:14:40.059><c> I</c><00:14:40.379><c> believe.</c>

00:14:41.539 --> 00:14:44.519
I'm<00:14:41.659><c> just</c><00:14:41.960><c> convinced</c><00:14:42.480><c> that</c><00:14:42.720><c> that's</c><00:14:43.039><c> the</c><00:14:43.120><c> way</c><00:14:43.259><c> I</c><00:14:43.419><c> would</c><00:14:43.659><c> act.</c>

00:14:44.539 --> 00:14:49.279
Now,<00:14:44.700><c> let's</c><00:14:44.879><c> take</c><00:14:45.080><c> a</c><00:14:45.139><c> look</c><00:14:45.279><c> at</c><00:14:45.419><c> Josiah,</c><00:14:48.019><c> verse</c><00:14:48.240><c> 11.</c>

00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.059
And<00:14:49.620><c> it</c><00:14:49.759><c> came</c><00:14:49.960><c> to</c><00:14:50.240><c> pass</c><00:14:50.480><c> when</c><00:14:50.659><c> the</c><00:14:50.879><c> king</c><00:14:51.000><c> had</c><00:14:51.240><c> heard</c><00:14:51.519><c> the</c><00:14:51.779><c> words</c>

00:14:52.059 --> 00:14:56.000

00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:59.340

For<00:15:15.919><c> great</c><00:15:16.220><c> is</c><00:15:16.419><c> the</c><00:15:16.580><c> wrath</c><00:15:16.820><c> of</c><00:15:17.000><c> the</c><00:15:17.159><c> Lord</c><00:15:17.340><c> that</c><00:15:17.480><c> is</c><00:15:17.720><c> kindled</c><00:15:17.980><c> against</c><00:15:18.340><c> us,</c><00:15:18.899><c> because</c><00:15:19.200><c> our</c><00:15:19.519><c> fathers</c><00:15:19.820><c> have</c><00:15:20.159><c> not</c><00:15:20.580><c> hearkened</c><00:15:21.000><c> unto</c><00:15:21.200><c> the</c><00:15:21.399><c> words</c><00:15:21.600><c> of</c>

00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:30.000
He<00:15:28.279><c> took</c><00:15:28.480><c> this</c><00:15:28.779><c> personally.</c>

00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:32.960
As<00:15:30.519><c> soon</c><00:15:30.679><c> as</c><00:15:30.820><c> he</c><00:15:31.000><c> heard</c><00:15:31.179><c> the</c><00:15:31.360><c> word</c><00:15:31.480><c> of</c><00:15:31.620><c> the</c><00:15:31.759><c> Lord,</c><00:15:32.080><c> it</c><00:15:32.279><c> was</c><00:15:32.620><c> the</c>

00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:34.879
most<00:15:33.379><c> important</c><00:15:33.840><c> thing</c><00:15:34.059><c> in</c><00:15:34.179><c> his</c><00:15:34.519><c> life.</c>

00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:38.759
It<00:15:35.600><c> absolutely</c><00:15:36.480><c> moved</c><00:15:37.139><c> him</c><00:15:37.480><c> to</c><00:15:37.799><c> action.</c>

00:15:38.899 --> 00:15:45.480
He<00:15:39.059><c> was</c><00:15:39.600><c> absolutely</c><00:15:41.200><c> consumed</c><00:15:42.700><c> with</c><00:15:43.759><c> what</c><00:15:44.080><c> he</c><00:15:44.320><c> was</c><00:15:44.700><c> not</c><00:15:45.080><c> doing</c>

00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.100
and<00:15:45.820><c> what</c><00:15:46.159><c> Judah</c><00:15:46.440><c> was</c><00:15:46.799><c> not</c><00:15:47.200><c> doing.</c>

00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:51.259
I<00:15:49.299><c> think</c><00:15:49.500><c> I</c><00:15:49.779><c> would</c><00:15:49.960><c> have</c><00:15:50.039><c> looked</c><00:15:50.240><c> at</c><00:15:50.379><c> it</c><00:15:50.539><c> differently</c><00:15:50.840><c> in</c><00:15:51.019><c> my</c>

00:15:51.259 --> 00:15:52.679
own<00:15:51.539><c> circumstance.</c>

00:15:53.179 --> 00:15:55.720
I<00:15:53.440><c> probably</c><00:15:53.679><c> would</c><00:15:53.840><c> have</c><00:15:53.879><c> said,</c><00:15:54.759><c> well,</c><00:15:55.019><c> yeah,</c><00:15:55.320><c> there's</c><00:15:55.539><c> some</c>

00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:57.320
more<00:15:55.879><c> things</c><00:15:56.059><c> we</c><00:15:56.240><c> need</c><00:15:56.399><c> to</c><00:15:56.519><c> get</c><00:15:56.720><c> going</c><00:15:56.899><c> on</c><00:15:57.139><c> here.</c>

00:15:57.320 --> 00:15:59.340
We<00:15:57.480><c> just</c><00:15:57.700><c> don't</c><00:15:57.919><c> have</c><00:15:58.220><c> this</c><00:15:58.720><c> going</c><00:15:59.019><c> right.</c>

00:15:59.539 --> 00:16:01.340
We<00:15:59.759><c> need</c><00:15:59.919><c> to</c><00:16:00.059><c> get</c><00:16:00.159><c> some</c><00:16:00.440><c> things</c><00:16:00.679><c> fixed</c><00:16:01.000><c> up.</c>

00:16:01.340 --> 00:16:05.299
But<00:16:02.259><c> not</c><00:16:02.480><c> only</c><00:16:02.740><c> that,</c><00:16:03.639><c> he</c><00:16:03.860><c> repents.</c>

00:16:05.580 --> 00:16:12.039
He<00:16:05.919><c> repents</c><00:16:06.980><c> seemingly</c><00:16:07.860><c> on</c><00:16:08.100><c> the</c><00:16:08.299><c> surface</c><00:16:08.740><c> for</c><00:16:09.279><c> not</c><00:16:09.700><c> understanding</c><00:16:10.759><c> fully</c><00:16:11.600><c> what</c><00:16:11.820><c> he</c>

00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:13.759
was<00:16:12.240><c> supposed</c><00:16:12.580><c> to</c><00:16:12.820><c> do.</c>

00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:17.779
It<00:16:14.259><c> seems</c><00:16:14.519><c> to</c><00:16:14.700><c> me</c><00:16:15.120><c> almost</c><00:16:15.740><c> like</c><00:16:16.159><c> an</c><00:16:16.399><c> overreaction.</c>

00:16:18.580 --> 00:16:21.340

00:23:58.019 --> 00:24:02.799

00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:46.559

And<00:25:46.839><c> he</c><00:25:46.839><c> says,</c>

00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:20.880

We<00:29:41.859><c> know</c><00:29:42.059><c> what</c><00:29:42.299><c> David</c><00:29:42.660><c> did.</c>

00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:47.420
We<00:29:44.940><c> can</c><00:29:45.119><c> even</c><00:29:45.380><c> talk</c><00:29:45.619><c> about</c><00:29:45.960><c> why</c><00:29:46.279><c> he</c><00:29:46.500><c> did</c><00:29:46.680><c> it.</c>

00:29:47.420 --> 00:29:54.539
We<00:29:48.059><c> probably</c><00:29:48.880><c> can</c><00:29:50.140><c> pick</c><00:29:50.500><c> out</c><00:29:51.920><c> pretty</c><00:29:52.799><c> closely</c><00:29:53.380><c> the</c><00:29:54.140><c> mistakes</c>

00:30:17.660 --> 00:30:20.000
Remember,<00:30:18.000><c> Nathan</c><00:30:18.240><c> had</c><00:30:18.460><c> told</c><00:30:18.599><c> a</c><00:30:19.259><c> parable.</c>

00:30:48.339 --> 00:30:51.240
I<00:30:48.480><c> know</c><00:30:48.680><c> exactly</c><00:30:49.140><c> what's</c><00:30:49.480><c> supposed</c><00:30:49.599><c> to</c><00:30:49.779><c> happen</c><00:30:49.980><c> to</c><00:30:50.140><c> this</c><00:30:50.339><c> person.</c>

00:36:42.860 --> 00:36:46.460
And<00:36:43.039><c> he</c><00:36:43.119><c> says,</c><00:36:44.340><c> Susie,</c><00:36:45.000><c> I'm</c><00:36:45.280><c> sorry</c><00:36:45.480><c> I</c><00:36:45.659><c> called</c><00:36:45.880><c> you</c><00:36:46.119><c> names.</c>

00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:48.400
I<00:36:46.960><c> didn't</c><00:36:47.199><c> mean</c><00:36:47.380><c> to</c><00:36:47.579><c> hurt</c><00:36:47.699><c> your</c><00:36:47.980><c> feelings.</c>

00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:52.659
Well,<00:36:49.920><c> you</c><00:36:50.239><c> did</c><00:36:50.519><c> hurt</c><00:36:50.699><c> my</c><00:36:50.940><c> feelings,</c><00:36:51.900><c> but</c><00:36:52.079><c> I</c><00:36:52.300><c> accept</c><00:36:52.440><c> your</c>

00:36:54.179 --> 00:36:57.639
Oh<00:36:54.619><c> boy,</c><00:36:55.260><c> thank</c><00:36:55.480><c> goodness</c><00:36:55.699><c> I</c><00:36:55.860><c> got</c><00:36:56.119><c> that</c><00:36:56.400><c> over</c><00:36:56.820><c> with.</c>

00:36:57.780 --> 00:36:59.820
And<00:36:57.920><c> then</c><00:36:58.139><c> Susie</c><00:36:58.380><c> hears</c><00:36:58.739><c> that</c><00:36:59.039><c> and</c><00:36:59.199><c> she</c><00:36:59.420><c> says,</c>

00:37:00.260 --> 00:37:03.719
on<00:37:00.400><c> second</c><00:37:00.760><c> thought,</c><00:37:01.300><c> let's</c><00:37:01.440><c> see</c><00:37:01.619><c> you</c><00:37:01.920><c> grovel</c><00:37:02.219><c> a</c><00:37:02.320><c> little</c><00:37:02.579><c> bit.</c>

00:37:07.420 --> 00:37:10.780
Thank<00:37:07.780><c> God</c><00:37:08.039><c> that</c><00:37:08.420><c> we</c><00:37:08.699><c> don't</c><00:37:08.860><c> have</c><00:37:09.119><c> a</c><00:37:09.280><c> God</c><00:37:09.460><c> like</c><00:37:09.820><c> that.</c>

00:37:11.139 --> 00:37:16.000
We<00:37:11.440><c> do</c><00:37:11.719><c> things</c><00:37:12.360><c> against</c><00:37:12.960><c> our</c><00:37:13.380><c> God</c><00:37:13.800><c> by</c><00:37:14.480><c> doing</c><00:37:14.820><c> things</c><00:37:15.199><c> against</c>

00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:17.099
other<00:37:16.480><c> people.</c>

00:37:17.099 --> 00:37:19.800
So<00:37:18.199><c> often</c><00:37:18.599><c> in</c><00:37:18.780><c> our</c><00:37:19.019><c> life.</c>

00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:24.679
But<00:37:20.559><c> if</c><00:37:20.699><c> we're</c><00:37:20.920><c> willing</c><00:37:21.079><c> to</c><00:37:21.360><c> confess,</c><00:37:22.800><c> if</c><00:37:22.940><c> we're</c><00:37:23.219><c> willing</c><00:37:23.360><c> to</c><00:37:23.679><c> repent,</c>

00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:26.940
God<00:37:25.280><c> is</c><00:37:25.599><c> faithful</c><00:37:25.960><c> to</c><00:37:26.260><c> forgive</c><00:37:26.599><c> us.</c>

00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:28.219
He's<00:37:27.380><c> told</c><00:37:27.539><c> us</c><00:37:27.780><c> that.</c>

00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:30.980
If<00:37:28.679><c> we're</c><00:37:28.920><c> willing</c><00:37:29.099><c> to</c><00:37:29.420><c> confess</c><00:37:29.719><c> our</c><00:37:30.019><c> sins,</c>

00:37:31.059 --> 00:37:34.920
the<00:37:31.199><c> Lord</c><00:37:31.380><c> is</c><00:37:31.699><c> faithful</c><00:37:32.219><c> to</c><00:37:32.860><c> forgive</c><00:37:33.139><c> us</c><00:37:33.380><c> of</c><00:37:33.559><c> our</c><00:37:33.800><c> sins</c><00:37:34.199><c> and</c><00:37:34.760><c> of</c>

00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:36.260
our<00:37:35.139><c> trespasses.</c>

00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:38.539
Let's<00:37:37.239><c> go</c><00:37:37.420><c> to</c><00:37:37.559><c> one</c><00:37:37.760><c> other</c><00:37:38.019><c> example.</c>

00:37:38.900 --> 00:37:41.340
It's<00:37:39.199><c> one</c><00:37:39.380><c> around</c><00:37:40.079><c> the</c><00:37:40.340><c> time</c><00:37:40.539><c> of</c><00:37:40.760><c> Josiah.</c>

00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:44.380
Take<00:37:41.920><c> a</c><00:37:42.099><c> look</c><00:37:42.239><c> at</c><00:37:42.480><c> Jonah</c><00:37:42.780><c> chapter</c><00:37:43.159><c> 3.</c>

00:38:00.940 --> 00:38:04.699
We<00:38:01.619><c> also</c><00:38:02.000><c> know</c><00:38:02.320><c> the</c><00:38:02.659><c> story</c><00:38:02.960><c> of</c><00:38:03.219><c> Jonah</c><00:38:03.340><c> very</c><00:38:03.760><c> well.</c>

00:38:06.139 --> 00:38:09.900
And<00:38:06.139><c> it's</c><00:38:06.599><c> Jonah's</c><00:38:06.940><c> reaction</c><00:38:07.460><c> is</c><00:38:07.820><c> what</c><00:38:08.079><c> perplexes</c><00:38:08.659><c> us</c><00:38:08.880><c> so</c><00:38:09.179><c> much.</c>

00:38:10.019 --> 00:38:15.659
But<00:38:10.019><c> what</c><00:38:10.519><c> we</c><00:38:10.679><c> do</c><00:38:10.920><c> see</c><00:38:11.380><c> here</c><00:38:11.780><c> is</c><00:38:13.019><c> the</c><00:38:13.320><c> mercy</c><00:38:13.639><c> of</c><00:38:13.880><c> God</c><00:38:14.079><c> one</c><00:38:14.320><c> more</c><00:38:14.639><c> time.</c>

Jonah<00:38:17.019><c> chapter</c><00:38:17.480><c> 3</c><00:38:17.820><c> and</c><00:38:18.159><c> verses</c><00:38:18.699><c> 1</c><00:38:22.420><c> to</c><00:38:22.559><c> 4.</c>

00:38:23.780 --> 00:38:26.139
It<00:38:23.780><c> says,</c><00:38:24.000><c> In</c><00:38:24.000><c> the</c><00:38:24.159><c> word</c><00:38:24.340><c> of</c><00:38:24.500><c> the</c><00:38:24.719><c> Lord</c><00:38:25.019><c> came</c><00:38:25.340><c> unto</c><00:38:25.599><c> Jonah</c><00:38:25.900><c> the</c>

00:38:26.139 --> 00:38:26.719
second<00:38:26.420><c> time,</c>

00:38:27.059 --> 00:38:30.900
saying,<00:38:27.460><c> Arise,</c><00:38:28.619><c> go</c><00:38:28.900><c> unto</c><00:38:29.179><c> Nineveh,</c><00:38:30.079><c> that</c><00:38:30.219><c> great</c><00:38:30.599><c> city,</c>

00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:34.159
and<00:38:31.079><c> preach</c><00:38:31.500><c> unto</c><00:38:31.840><c> it</c><00:38:32.199><c> the</c><00:38:32.519><c> preaching</c><00:38:32.920><c> that</c><00:38:33.260><c> I</c><00:38:33.539><c> bid</c><00:38:33.760><c> thee.</c>

00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:38.780
It's<00:38:34.980><c> interesting</c><00:38:35.360><c> at</c><00:38:35.559><c> this</c><00:38:35.840><c> time</c><00:38:36.380><c> that</c><00:38:37.579><c> there</c><00:38:37.880><c> was</c><00:38:38.099><c> great</c><00:38:38.340><c> intrigue</c>

00:38:38.780 --> 00:38:41.260
going<00:38:39.019><c> on</c><00:38:39.219><c> in</c><00:38:39.320><c> the</c><00:38:39.480><c> world</c><00:38:39.659><c> at</c><00:38:39.820><c> this</c><00:38:40.039><c> time</c><00:38:40.380><c> concerning</c><00:38:40.840><c> Nineveh,</c>

00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:42.820
which<00:38:41.420><c> was</c><00:38:41.619><c> the</c><00:38:41.800><c> capital</c><00:38:42.079><c> of</c><00:38:42.280><c> Assyria.</c>

00:38:42.820 --> 00:38:45.760
We've<00:38:43.380><c> mentioned</c><00:38:43.619><c> a</c><00:38:43.780><c> number</c><00:38:43.960><c> of</c><00:38:44.159><c> times</c><00:38:44.400><c> that</c><00:38:44.559><c> it</c><00:38:44.679><c> was</c><00:38:45.239><c> declining</c>

00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:47.199
at<00:38:46.179><c> this</c><00:38:46.380><c> point</c><00:38:46.599><c> in</c><00:38:46.860><c> time.</c>

00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:51.119
And<00:38:47.539><c> it</c><00:38:47.639><c> looks</c><00:38:47.840><c> like</c><00:38:48.199><c> at</c><00:38:48.559><c> this</c><00:38:48.960><c> point</c><00:38:49.380><c> it</c><00:38:50.000><c> should</c><00:38:50.239><c> have</c><00:38:50.380><c> been</c><00:38:50.599><c> lost.</c>

00:38:51.539 --> 00:38:54.340
But<00:38:51.659><c> we</c><00:38:51.760><c> do</c><00:38:51.940><c> have</c><00:38:52.199><c> evidence</c><00:38:52.639><c> that</c><00:38:52.900><c> Nineveh,</c><00:38:53.559><c> though</c><00:38:53.960><c> having</c>

00:38:54.340 --> 00:38:55.719

00:38:59.539 --> 00:39:02.619
Surely<00:38:59.920><c> the</c><00:39:00.179><c> biblical</c><00:39:00.559><c> narrative</c><00:39:01.039><c> here</c><00:39:01.300><c> in</c><00:39:01.559><c> Jonah</c><00:39:01.840><c> has</c><00:39:02.340><c> to</c><00:39:02.539><c> do</c>

00:39:02.619 --> 00:39:03.699

00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:08.280
We<00:39:04.280><c> know</c><00:39:04.599><c> better</c><00:39:05.119><c> than</c><00:39:05.519><c> the</c><00:39:05.900><c> historians</c><00:39:06.420><c> why</c><00:39:07.360><c> Nineveh</c><00:39:08.000><c> didn't</c>

00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:09.460
fall<00:39:08.599><c> at</c><00:39:08.760><c> that</c><00:39:09.039><c> time.</c>

00:39:09.460 --> 00:39:13.000
It<00:39:10.360><c> says,</c><00:39:11.099><c> Arise,</c><00:39:11.500><c> go</c><00:39:11.699><c> unto</c><00:39:11.900><c> Nineveh,</c><00:39:12.320><c> that</c><00:39:12.480><c> great</c><00:39:12.780><c> city,</c>

00:39:15.619 --> 00:39:19.500
So<00:39:15.880><c> Jonah</c><00:39:16.059><c> arose</c><00:39:16.420><c> and</c><00:39:16.679><c> went</c><00:39:17.679><c> unto</c><00:39:18.139><c> Nineveh</c><00:39:18.800><c> according</c><00:39:19.139><c> to</c><00:39:19.380><c> the</c>

00:39:20.579 --> 00:39:23.539
Now<00:39:20.880><c> Nineveh</c><00:39:21.320><c> was</c><00:39:21.539><c> an</c><00:39:21.760><c> exceeding</c><00:39:22.219><c> great</c><00:39:22.500><c> city</c><00:39:22.820><c> of</c><00:39:23.199><c> three</c>

00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:30.760
the<00:39:30.559><c> city</c>

00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:32.960
a<00:39:31.000><c> day's</c><00:39:31.480><c> journey,</c><00:39:31.780><c> and</c><00:39:31.920><c> he</c><00:39:32.199><c> cried</c><00:39:32.480><c> and</c><00:39:32.739><c> said,</c>

00:39:33.340 --> 00:39:37.519
Yet<00:39:33.579><c> forty</c><00:39:34.000><c> days</c><00:39:34.500><c> in</c><00:39:34.780><c> Nineveh</c><00:39:35.659><c> shall</c><00:39:35.920><c> be</c><00:39:36.360><c> overcome.</c>

00:39:38.219 --> 00:39:41.300
So<00:39:38.780><c> God</c><00:39:39.340><c> was</c><00:39:39.579><c> putting</c><00:39:39.800><c> the</c><00:39:40.059><c> word</c><00:39:40.260><c> out.</c>

00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:44.960
And<00:39:41.639><c> so</c><00:39:42.059><c> we</c><00:39:42.380><c> would</c><00:39:42.559><c> expect,</c><00:39:43.059><c> as</c><00:39:43.159><c> we've</c><00:39:43.480><c> seen</c><00:39:43.619><c> so</c><00:39:43.980><c> often</c><00:39:44.239><c> with</c>

00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:46.320

00:39:49.739 --> 00:39:50.219

that<00:39:50.340><c> was</c><00:39:50.559><c> prophesied</c><00:39:51.079><c> and</c><00:39:51.219><c> it</c><00:39:51.440><c> surely</c><00:39:51.639><c> came</c><00:39:51.900><c> to</c><00:39:52.099><c> pass,</c>

00:39:52.579 --> 00:39:56.739

00:39:57.199 --> 00:40:00.619
we'll<00:39:57.440><c> find</c><00:39:57.699><c> that</c><00:39:58.840><c> something</c><00:39:59.139><c> happened</c><00:39:59.639><c> that</c><00:39:59.940><c> I</c><00:40:00.139><c> think</c><00:40:00.300><c> is</c>

00:40:00.619 --> 00:40:02.019
just<00:40:00.960><c> remarkable.</c>

00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:05.239
And<00:40:02.360><c> so</c><00:40:02.539><c> in</c><00:40:02.679><c> verse</c><00:40:02.900><c> 5</c><00:40:03.179><c> it</c><00:40:03.340><c> says,</c><00:40:04.079><c> And</c><00:40:04.199><c> the</c><00:40:04.280><c> people</c><00:40:04.579><c> of</c><00:40:04.780><c> Nineveh</c>

00:40:13.300 --> 00:40:15.300
And<00:40:13.579><c> the</c><00:40:13.800><c> tidings</c><00:40:14.099><c> reached</c><00:40:14.360><c> the</c><00:40:14.619><c> king</c><00:40:14.820><c> of</c><00:40:15.000><c> Nineveh,</c>

00:40:15.659 --> 00:40:19.199
and<00:40:15.920><c> he</c><00:40:16.119><c> arose</c><00:40:16.440><c> from</c><00:40:16.659><c> his</c><00:40:17.019><c> throne</c><00:40:17.300><c> and</c><00:40:17.519><c> laid</c><00:40:17.719><c> his</c><00:40:18.019><c> robe</c><00:40:18.360><c> from</c><00:40:18.880><c> him</c>

00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:25.780
This<00:40:23.380><c> could</c><00:40:23.679><c> not</c><00:40:23.900><c> have</c><00:40:24.079><c> been</c><00:40:24.320><c> expressed</c><00:40:24.760><c> any</c><00:40:25.079><c> other</c><00:40:25.380><c> way.</c>

00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:28.599
Did<00:40:26.199><c> you</c><00:40:26.340><c> notice</c><00:40:26.579><c> what</c><00:40:26.900><c> happened</c><00:40:27.239><c> first</c><00:40:27.739><c> and</c><00:40:28.099><c> then</c><00:40:28.300><c> what</c>

00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:34.059
Who<00:40:30.860><c> believed</c><00:40:31.260><c> first?</c><00:40:32.880><c> It</c><00:40:33.260><c> was</c><00:40:33.460><c> the</c><00:40:33.639><c> people.</c>

00:40:34.059 --> 00:40:37.800
You<00:40:34.639><c> know,</c><00:40:34.820><c> I</c><00:40:35.000><c> can</c><00:40:35.320><c> see</c><00:40:35.579><c> it</c><00:40:35.699><c> would</c><00:40:35.860><c> be</c><00:40:36.019><c> very</c><00:40:36.420><c> easy</c><00:40:36.679><c> for</c><00:40:36.880><c> me</c><00:40:37.019><c> to</c><00:40:37.280><c> understand</c>

00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:42.860
that<00:40:38.280><c> the</c><00:40:38.500><c> prophet</c><00:40:38.820><c> comes</c><00:40:39.139><c> in</c><00:40:39.619><c> and</c><00:40:39.940><c> his</c><00:40:40.360><c> words</c><00:40:40.719><c> of</c><00:40:41.099><c> doom</c><00:40:41.460><c> proclaimed</c><00:40:42.019><c> before</c><00:40:42.440><c> the</c><00:40:42.719><c> king,</c>

00:40:42.860 --> 00:40:45.159
and<00:40:43.039><c> the</c><00:40:43.219><c> king</c><00:40:43.400><c> just</c><00:40:43.659><c> said,</c><00:40:44.059><c> Oh,</c><00:40:44.480><c> no.</c>

00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:47.219
Because<00:40:45.519><c> he</c><00:40:45.739><c> realized</c><00:40:46.199><c> the</c><00:40:46.400><c> political</c><00:40:46.940><c> climate.</c>

00:40:47.219 --> 00:40:50.280
He<00:40:47.400><c> knew</c><00:40:47.559><c> what</c><00:40:47.760><c> was</c><00:40:48.000><c> going</c><00:40:48.239><c> on,</c><00:40:48.860><c> what</c><00:40:49.019><c> was</c><00:40:49.360><c> happening</c><00:40:49.719><c> around</c><00:40:50.139><c> him</c>

00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:51.900
that<00:40:50.460><c> very</c><00:40:50.739><c> possibly</c><00:40:51.219><c> could</c><00:40:51.460><c> happen.</c>

00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:53.480
I<00:40:52.280><c> could</c><00:40:52.480><c> lose</c><00:40:52.760><c> my</c><00:40:53.079><c> kingdom.</c>

00:40:53.900 --> 00:40:55.920
And<00:40:54.199><c> so</c><00:40:54.519><c> let's</c><00:40:54.900><c> say</c><00:40:55.079><c> he</c><00:40:55.360><c> repented.</c>

00:40:56.019 --> 00:40:57.960
Well,<00:40:56.400><c> what</c><00:40:56.639><c> good</c><00:40:56.820><c> would</c><00:40:57.000><c> that</c><00:40:57.260><c> do</c><00:40:57.519><c> really?</c>

00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:01.260
We<00:40:58.579><c> might</c><00:40:58.820><c> wind</c><00:40:59.019><c> up</c><00:40:59.239><c> having</c><00:40:59.500><c> exactly</c><00:41:00.019><c> the</c><00:41:00.280><c> same</c><00:41:00.480><c> situation</c><00:41:01.079><c> as</c>

00:41:12.219 --> 00:41:14.860

00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:18.280
And<00:41:15.179><c> so</c><00:41:15.579><c> he</c><00:41:16.360><c> covers</c><00:41:16.699><c> himself</c><00:41:17.179><c> in</c><00:41:17.460><c> sackcloth.</c>

00:41:18.480 --> 00:41:21.460
He<00:41:18.719><c> mourns,</c><00:41:20.059><c> repents.</c>

00:41:56.019 --> 00:41:59.400

00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:07.400
Thank<00:42:03.159><c> God</c><00:42:03.679><c> that</c><00:42:04.480><c> we</c><00:42:04.760><c> have</c><00:42:05.019><c> a</c><00:42:05.239><c> God</c><00:42:05.539><c> that</c><00:42:06.420><c> listens</c><00:42:06.860><c> to</c><00:42:07.159><c> us</c>

00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:15.559

00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:17.599
It's<00:42:16.039><c> not</c><00:42:16.239><c> exactly</c><00:42:16.739><c> the</c><00:42:17.000><c> opposite</c><00:42:17.320><c> example.</c>

00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:22.099

00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:25.300
I'd<00:42:22.519><c> like</c><00:42:22.619><c> to</c><00:42:22.780><c> just</c><00:42:22.920><c> take</c><00:42:23.099><c> a</c><00:42:23.280><c> look</c><00:42:23.679><c> and</c><00:42:24.159><c> bring</c><00:42:24.380><c> back</c><00:42:24.679><c> to</c><00:42:24.900><c> your</c><00:42:25.079><c> mind.</c>

00:42:25.300 --> 00:42:26.019
We<00:42:25.440><c> won't</c><00:42:25.679><c> read</c><00:42:25.900><c> it.</c>

00:42:26.019 --> 00:42:27.300
I'd<00:42:26.280><c> just</c><00:42:26.280><c> like</c><00:42:26.400><c> to</c><00:42:26.539><c> bring</c><00:42:26.619><c> it</c><00:42:26.760><c> back</c><00:42:26.880><c> to</c><00:42:27.000><c> your</c><00:42:27.139><c> mind</c>

00:42:27.300 --> 00:42:28.840
because<00:42:27.559><c> you</c><00:42:28.039><c> know</c><00:42:28.219><c> it</c><00:42:28.440><c> well,</c>

00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:35.460
of<00:42:29.440><c> someone</c><00:42:29.960><c> that</c><00:42:31.000><c> couldn't</c><00:42:31.500><c> believe</c><00:42:32.300><c> that</c><00:42:33.420><c> God</c><00:42:33.699><c> was</c><00:42:34.019><c> like</c><00:42:34.400><c> this.</c>

00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:38.940
Do<00:42:36.099><c> you</c><00:42:36.159><c> remember</c><00:42:36.460><c> the</c><00:42:36.699><c> Lord</c><00:42:36.880><c> Jesus'</c><00:42:37.579><c> pronouncement</c><00:42:38.539><c> on</c>

00:42:38.940 --> 00:42:40.820
Judas<00:42:39.280><c> Iscariot?</c>

00:42:41.179 --> 00:42:45.440
He<00:42:41.400><c> said</c><00:42:41.519><c> it</c><00:42:41.599><c> was</c><00:42:41.860><c> better</c><00:42:42.119><c> that</c><00:42:42.400><c> that</c><00:42:42.679><c> man</c><00:42:43.300><c> had</c><00:42:43.860><c> never</c><00:42:44.179><c> been</c><00:42:44.519><c> born.</c>

00:42:46.360 --> 00:42:48.519
They're<00:42:46.579><c> really</c><00:42:47.000><c> strong</c><00:42:47.420><c> words.</c>

00:42:48.940 --> 00:42:53.360
It<00:42:49.179><c> seems</c><00:42:49.460><c> to</c><00:42:49.699><c> me</c><00:42:49.980><c> also</c><00:42:50.599><c> that</c><00:42:51.099><c> Judas</c><00:42:51.460><c> was</c><00:42:51.760><c> very,</c><00:42:52.260><c> very</c><00:42:52.800><c> sorry</c>

00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:55.000
for<00:42:54.099><c> what</c><00:42:54.300><c> he'd</c><00:42:54.619><c> done.</c>

00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:58.840
The<00:42:56.199><c> money</c><00:42:56.539><c> that</c><00:42:56.739><c> he</c><00:42:56.980><c> gained</c><00:42:57.440><c> from</c><00:42:57.739><c> betraying</c><00:42:58.280><c> the</c><00:42:58.500><c> Lord,</c>

00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:03.260
at<00:42:59.539><c> the</c><00:42:59.659><c> end</c><00:42:59.820><c> of</c><00:42:59.960><c> it</c><00:43:00.099><c> all,</c><00:43:00.239><c> he</c><00:43:00.440><c> really</c><00:43:00.860><c> didn't</c><00:43:01.239><c> want</c><00:43:01.619><c> it.</c>

00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:07.199
But<00:43:04.099><c> how</c><00:43:04.280><c> could</c><00:43:04.460><c> Jesus</c><00:43:04.780><c> make</c><00:43:05.019><c> such</c><00:43:05.320><c> a</c><00:43:05.619><c> proclamation</c><00:43:06.179><c> on</c><00:43:06.860><c> what</c>

00:43:12.179 --> 00:43:17.519
It's<00:43:12.599><c> because</c><00:43:13.019><c> Judas</c><00:43:13.579><c> could</c><00:43:14.500><c> not</c><00:43:14.960><c> believe</c><00:43:15.739><c> that</c><00:43:16.860><c> God</c><00:43:17.139><c> could</c>
