accused<00:00:33.479><c> of</c><00:00:33.700><c> casting</c><00:00:34.079><c> out</c><00:00:34.359><c> demons</c>

00:00:34.659 --> 00:00:40.359
by<00:00:34.920><c> Beelzebub,</c><00:00:36.119><c> and</c><00:00:37.119><c> he</c><00:00:37.420><c> responds</c><00:00:38.020><c> by</c><00:00:38.479><c> saying,</c><00:00:39.179><c> if</c><00:00:39.179><c> Satan</c><00:00:39.539><c> casts</c><00:00:39.960><c> out</c>

00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:41.679

00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.140
And<00:01:06.959><c> this</c><00:01:07.319><c> little</c><00:01:07.620><c> section</c><00:01:07.980><c> in</c><00:01:08.140><c> Matthew</c><00:01:08.459><c> runs</c><00:01:08.760><c> from</c><00:01:09.060><c> there</c><00:01:09.359><c> all</c><00:01:09.599><c> the</c><00:01:09.700><c> way</c><00:01:09.900><c> to</c>

00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:18.379

00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.180
So<00:01:22.459><c> this</c><00:01:22.799><c> class</c><00:01:23.060><c> one</c><00:01:23.280><c> is</c><00:01:23.420><c> going</c><00:01:23.519><c> to</c><00:01:23.620><c> actually</c><00:01:24.260><c> start</c><00:01:24.780><c> at</c><00:01:24.980><c> the</c>

00:01:25.180 --> 00:01:27.879
ending<00:01:25.439><c> of</c><00:01:25.760><c> this</c><00:01:26.060><c> section</c><00:01:26.379><c> with</c><00:01:26.739><c> this</c><00:01:27.239><c> parable,</c>

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:31.579
I<00:01:31.400><c> think</c>

00:01:31.579 --> 00:01:39.540
it's<00:01:32.299><c> very</c><00:01:32.579><c> important</c><00:01:33.159><c> for</c><00:01:33.420><c> us</c><00:01:34.200><c> to</c><00:01:34.959><c> understand</c><00:01:35.439><c> this</c><00:01:35.780><c> parable,</c><00:01:37.379><c> basically</c><00:01:37.819><c> to</c><00:01:38.079><c> understand</c><00:01:38.700><c> what</c><00:01:39.140><c> Jesus</c>

00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:41.599
is<00:01:39.780><c> getting</c><00:01:39.959><c> at</c><00:01:40.200><c> in</c><00:01:40.500><c> this</c><00:01:40.700><c> section</c><00:01:41.040><c> of</c><00:01:41.280><c> scripture.</c>

00:01:41.859 --> 00:01:43.980
And<00:01:42.040><c> the</c><00:01:42.140><c> reason</c><00:01:42.299><c> I've</c><00:01:42.599><c> chosen</c><00:01:42.819><c> this</c><00:01:43.060><c> is</c><00:01:43.219><c> basically</c><00:01:43.480><c> because</c>

00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:46.599
I<00:01:44.459><c> find</c><00:01:44.659><c> this</c><00:01:44.900><c> to</c><00:01:45.000><c> be</c><00:01:45.099><c> a</c><00:01:45.099><c> very</c><00:01:45.480><c> challenging</c>

00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:47.920
passage<00:01:47.439><c> of</c><00:01:47.680><c> scripture.</c>

00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.519
I<00:01:48.060><c> don't</c><00:01:48.200><c> know</c><00:01:48.340><c> about</c><00:01:48.500><c> you,</c><00:01:48.780><c> but</c><00:01:49.000><c> you're</c><00:01:49.560><c> sitting</c><00:01:49.799><c> there</c><00:01:50.019><c> thinking,</c><00:01:50.599><c> well,</c><00:01:50.739><c> they're</c><00:01:50.980><c> accusing</c><00:01:51.319><c> him</c>

00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.700
of<00:01:51.659><c> being</c><00:01:52.579><c> possessed</c><00:01:52.980><c> by</c><00:01:53.260><c> Beelzebub.</c>

00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:55.299
What<00:01:53.920><c> is</c><00:01:54.120><c> that</c><00:01:54.299><c> all</c><00:01:54.500><c> about?</c>

00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:58.359
Why<00:01:55.620><c> is</c><00:01:55.900><c> Jesus</c><00:01:56.340><c> responding</c><00:01:56.939><c> like</c><00:01:57.480><c> he</c><00:01:57.780><c> is?</c>

00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:04.760
And<00:01:58.780><c> he</c><00:01:58.939><c> gives</c><00:01:59.099><c> some</c><00:01:59.519><c> very</c><00:01:59.879><c> kind</c><00:02:00.159><c> of</c><00:02:01.040><c> interesting,</c><00:02:01.959><c> very</c><00:02:02.379><c> short</c><00:02:02.640><c> parables</c><00:02:03.239><c> about</c><00:02:03.700><c> binding</c><00:02:04.099><c> this</c><00:02:04.480><c> strong</c>

00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:05.019
man.

00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.140
Why<00:02:05.799><c> is</c><00:02:06.060><c> he</c><00:02:06.299><c> saying</c><00:02:06.579><c> that?</c>

00:02:07.540 --> 00:02:12.080
And<00:02:07.719><c> then</c><00:02:07.859><c> he</c><00:02:07.939><c> ends</c><00:02:08.259><c> with</c><00:02:08.539><c> this</c><00:02:08.900><c> very</c><00:02:09.740><c> interesting</c><00:02:10.699><c> parable.</c>

00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:14.740
And<00:02:12.439><c> so</c><00:02:12.840><c> we're</c><00:02:12.979><c> going</c><00:02:13.520><c> to</c><00:02:13.699><c> start</c><00:02:13.979><c> at</c><00:02:14.240><c> the</c><00:02:14.479><c> beginning.</c>

00:02:14.819 --> 00:02:16.479
So<00:02:15.139><c> we're</c><00:02:15.419><c> going</c><00:02:15.560><c> to</c><00:02:15.620><c> start</c><00:02:15.740><c> with</c><00:02:15.939><c> that</c><00:02:16.099><c> today.</c>

They<00:04:57.879><c> did</c><00:04:58.100><c> not</c><00:04:58.279><c> destroy</c><00:04:58.860><c> the</c><00:04:59.100><c> nations</c><00:04:59.560><c> concerning</c><00:05:00.019><c> whom</c><00:05:00.300><c> the</c>

00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:03.579
Lord<00:05:00.759><c> commanded</c><00:05:01.259><c> them,</c><00:05:01.860><c> but</c><00:05:02.439><c> were</c><00:05:02.860><c> mingled</c>

00:05:03.579 --> 00:05:08.300
with<00:05:04.040><c> the</c><00:05:04.420><c> heathen</c><00:05:05.300><c> and</c><00:05:05.839><c> learned</c><00:05:06.379><c> their</c><00:05:07.300><c> works.</c>

00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.920
So<00:05:08.800><c> first</c><00:05:09.040><c> important</c><00:05:09.459><c> part</c><00:05:09.819><c> is</c><00:05:10.040><c> just</c><00:05:10.300><c> the</c><00:05:10.500><c> look</c><00:05:10.620><c> at</c><00:05:10.800><c> that,</c><00:05:11.180><c> mingled</c><00:05:11.699><c> with</c><00:05:12.259><c> the</c>

00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:14.019
heathen,<00:05:13.279><c> the</c><00:05:13.459><c> Gentiles,</c>

00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:15.480
and<00:05:14.459><c> they</c><00:05:14.720><c> learned</c><00:05:14.939><c> their</c><00:05:15.240><c> works.</c>

00:05:15.500 --> 00:05:18.839
They<00:05:15.720><c> learned</c><00:05:15.939><c> their</c><00:05:16.180><c> whole</c><00:05:16.579><c> thought</c><00:05:16.899><c> processes,</c><00:05:17.459><c> their</c><00:05:17.720><c> idols,</c><00:05:18.399><c> because</c><00:05:18.620><c> it</c>

00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:19.819
says<00:05:18.959><c> in</c><00:05:19.079><c> verse</c><00:05:19.319><c> 36,</c>

00:05:19.899 --> 00:05:24.540
they<00:05:20.199><c> served</c><00:05:20.720><c> their</c><00:05:21.199><c> idols,</c><00:05:22.360><c> which</c><00:05:22.680><c> were</c><00:05:23.079><c> a</c><00:05:23.199><c> snare</c><00:05:23.360><c> unto</c><00:05:23.600><c> them,</c><00:05:24.300><c> and</c>

00:05:24.540 --> 00:05:26.060
they<00:05:24.860><c> sacrificed</c><00:05:25.439><c> their</c><00:05:25.759><c> sons</c>

00:05:26.060 --> 00:05:29.420
and<00:05:26.240><c> their</c><00:05:26.459><c> daughters</c><00:05:26.959><c> unto</c><00:05:27.300><c> devils,</c><00:05:27.920><c> unto</c><00:05:28.319><c> demons.</c>

00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.220
So<00:05:30.819><c> that</c><00:05:31.000><c> is</c><00:05:31.160><c> that</c><00:05:31.379><c> Hebrew</c><00:05:31.660><c> word</c><00:05:31.939><c> shed.</c>

00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.300
It's<00:05:32.459><c> not</c><00:05:32.620><c> used</c><00:05:32.800><c> very</c><00:05:33.199><c> frequently,</c><00:05:33.620><c> but</c><00:05:33.879><c> here</c><00:05:34.160><c> it</c><00:05:34.319><c> is.</c>

00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:39.220
In<00:05:35.560><c> verse</c><00:05:35.839><c> 38,</c><00:05:36.379><c> it</c><00:05:36.540><c> says,</c><00:05:37.639><c> and</c><00:05:37.639><c> shed</c><00:05:37.959><c> innocent</c><00:05:38.519><c> blood,</c><00:05:39.019><c> even</c>

00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:41.579
the<00:05:39.399><c> blood</c><00:05:39.600><c> of</c><00:05:39.779><c> their</c><00:05:40.079><c> sons</c><00:05:40.379><c> and</c><00:05:40.699><c> their</c><00:05:41.000><c> daughters</c>

00:05:41.579 --> 00:05:46.319
whom<00:05:42.279><c> they</c><00:05:42.800><c> sacrificed</c><00:05:43.500><c> unto</c><00:05:43.800><c> the</c><00:05:44.160><c> idols</c><00:05:44.579><c> of</c><00:05:45.060><c> Canaan,</c><00:05:46.120><c> and</c>

00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.819
the<00:05:46.579><c> land</c><00:05:46.879><c> was</c><00:05:47.240><c> polluted</c><00:05:47.920><c> with</c><00:05:48.800><c> blood.</c>

00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:53.560
So<00:05:50.319><c> here's</c><00:05:50.660><c> a</c><00:05:50.779><c> very,</c><00:05:51.120><c> very</c><00:05:51.480><c> essential</c><00:05:52.259><c> verse</c><00:05:52.800><c> for</c><00:05:53.040><c> us</c><00:05:53.240><c> to</c><00:05:53.379><c> get</c>

00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.540
what<00:05:53.759><c> I</c><00:05:54.100><c> call</c><00:05:54.279><c> this</c><00:05:54.720><c> idol</c><00:05:55.279><c>-demon</c><00:05:56.100><c> connection.</c>

00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.019
There's<00:05:56.959><c> obviously</c><00:05:57.360><c> in</c><00:05:57.620><c> the</c><00:05:57.779><c> Bible</c><00:05:58.019><c> and</c><00:05:58.360><c> established</c><00:05:58.699><c> here</c>

00:05:59.019 --> 00:06:01.399
first<00:05:59.279><c> of</c><00:05:59.459><c> all</c><00:05:59.560><c> for</c><00:05:59.839><c> us</c><00:06:00.139><c> in</c><00:06:00.740><c> the</c><00:06:00.860><c> Old</c><00:06:01.040><c> Testament</c>

00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:05.180
a<00:06:01.660><c> connection</c><00:06:01.939><c> between</c><00:06:02.399><c> demons</c><00:06:02.920><c> and</c><00:06:04.279><c> idols.</c>

00:06:05.660 --> 00:06:07.439
And<00:06:05.839><c> often</c><00:06:06.040><c> when</c><00:06:06.220><c> you're</c><00:06:06.540><c> talking</c><00:06:06.620><c> to</c><00:06:06.800><c> somebody</c><00:06:07.019><c> about</c><00:06:07.240><c> this,</c>

00:06:07.459 --> 00:06:09.079
they'll<00:06:07.699><c> say,</c><00:06:08.079><c> well</c><00:06:08.100><c> yeah,</c><00:06:08.680><c> demons</c>

00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.000
inspire<00:06:10.180><c> idolatry.</c>

00:06:11.139 --> 00:06:13.180
There's<00:06:11.439><c> really</c><00:06:11.720><c> something</c><00:06:12.120><c> behind</c><00:06:12.500><c> these</c><00:06:12.839><c> idols.</c>

00:06:13.540 --> 00:06:16.339
There's<00:06:13.819><c> these</c><00:06:14.060><c> evil</c><00:06:14.240><c> wicked</c><00:06:14.519><c> spirits</c><00:06:15.000><c> that,</c><00:06:15.680><c> but</c><00:06:15.920><c> when</c><00:06:16.079><c> you</c>

00:06:16.339 --> 00:06:17.879
see<00:06:16.519><c> the</c><00:06:16.699><c> Bible</c><00:06:17.000><c> and</c><00:06:17.160><c> how</c><00:06:17.259><c> it</c><00:06:17.360><c> talks</c><00:06:17.600><c> about</c>

00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:18.879
idolatry,<00:06:18.519><c> right?</c>

00:06:19.220 --> 00:06:20.240
It's<00:06:19.360><c> all</c><00:06:19.560><c> about</c><00:06:19.819><c> vanity.</c>

00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:21.120
It's<00:06:20.500><c> about</c><00:06:20.759><c> emptiness.</c>

00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:22.980
There's<00:06:21.540><c> nothing</c><00:06:21.939><c> to</c><00:06:22.240><c> these</c><00:06:22.560><c> idols.</c>

00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:27.620
That's<00:06:23.779><c> what</c><00:06:23.939><c> the</c><00:06:24.120><c> Bible</c><00:06:24.339><c> is</c><00:06:24.540><c> really</c><00:06:24.860><c> saying,</c><00:06:25.279><c> and</c><00:06:25.540><c> it's</c><00:06:25.759><c> really</c><00:06:26.319><c> reflecting</c><00:06:26.819><c> on</c>

00:06:27.620 --> 00:06:29.079
demonology,<00:06:28.860><c> both</c>

00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.680
in<00:06:29.259><c> the</c><00:06:29.420><c> Old</c><00:06:29.620><c> and</c><00:06:29.720><c> the</c><00:06:29.879><c> New</c><00:06:30.060><c> Testament,</c><00:06:30.680><c> because</c><00:06:31.240><c> look</c><00:06:31.480><c> at</c><00:06:31.560><c> verse</c><00:06:31.800><c> 39.</c>

00:06:33.019 --> 00:06:39.680
They<00:06:33.319><c> were</c><00:06:33.540><c> defiled</c><00:06:34.240><c> with</c><00:06:34.639><c> their</c><00:06:34.959><c> own</c><00:06:35.319><c> works</c><00:06:35.959><c> and</c><00:06:36.720><c> went</c><00:06:36.920><c> a</c><00:06:37.120><c>-whoring</c><00:06:37.819><c> with</c><00:06:38.199><c> their</c><00:06:38.600><c> own</c><00:06:39.199><c> inventions.</c>

00:06:39.699 --> 00:06:44.180
These<00:06:39.959><c> are</c><00:06:40.220><c> things</c><00:06:40.420><c> that</c><00:06:40.720><c> they</c><00:06:41.120><c> made</c><00:06:41.439><c> up</c><00:06:41.819><c> and</c><00:06:42.600><c> that</c><00:06:42.800><c> they</c><00:06:43.180><c> followed,</c><00:06:43.879><c> the</c>

00:06:44.180 --> 00:06:45.540
works<00:06:44.579><c> of</c><00:06:44.800><c> their</c><00:06:45.000><c> own</c><00:06:45.259><c> hands,</c>

00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:47.259
their<00:06:45.860><c> own</c><00:06:46.120><c> inventions.</c>

00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.660
And<00:06:47.480><c> it's</c><00:06:47.660><c> very</c><00:06:47.899><c> important,</c><00:06:48.259><c> I</c><00:06:48.399><c> think,</c><00:06:48.560><c> in</c><00:06:48.720><c> the</c><00:06:48.899><c> context</c><00:06:49.339><c> also</c>

00:06:49.660 --> 00:06:52.519
to<00:06:49.920><c> see</c><00:06:50.300><c> that</c><00:06:51.040><c> it</c><00:06:51.339><c> says</c><00:06:51.500><c> that</c><00:06:51.720><c> the</c><00:06:51.920><c> land</c><00:06:52.139><c> was</c>

00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:57.540
polluted<00:06:53.339><c> with</c><00:06:53.759><c> blood,</c><00:06:54.439><c> and</c><00:06:55.139><c> also</c><00:06:55.480><c> they</c><00:06:55.699><c> were</c><00:06:56.100><c> defiled</c><00:06:57.040><c> with</c>

00:06:57.540 --> 00:06:58.300
their<00:06:57.800><c> own</c><00:06:58.060><c> works.</c>

00:06:58.300 --> 00:07:01.220
There<00:06:58.500><c> is</c><00:06:58.759><c> a</c><00:06:59.040><c> sense</c><00:06:59.240><c> of</c><00:06:59.600><c> uncleanness</c><00:07:00.420><c> here,</c><00:07:00.720><c> and</c><00:07:00.879><c> it's</c><00:07:01.079><c> going</c>

00:07:01.220 --> 00:07:03.879
to<00:07:01.879><c> attach</c><00:07:02.240><c> itself</c><00:07:02.639><c> to</c><00:07:02.860><c> the</c><00:07:03.040><c> idea</c><00:07:03.379><c> of</c>

00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:08.439
Israel<00:07:04.279><c> actually</c><00:07:04.660><c> having</c><00:07:05.019><c> an</c><00:07:05.420><c> unclean</c><00:07:06.019><c> spirit</c><00:07:06.959><c> themselves.</c>

00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:11.339
So<00:07:09.360><c> there's</c><00:07:09.660><c> the</c><00:07:09.800><c> one</c><00:07:09.939><c> passage</c><00:07:10.259><c> in</c><00:07:10.439><c> the</c><00:07:10.519><c> Old</c><00:07:10.720><c> Testament,</c><00:07:11.180><c> and</c>

00:07:11.339 --> 00:07:13.579
the<00:07:11.439><c> other</c><00:07:11.579><c> one</c><00:07:11.699><c> in</c><00:07:11.879><c> the</c><00:07:11.959><c> New</c><00:07:12.160><c> Testament</c><00:07:12.639><c> is</c>

00:07:13.579 --> 00:07:17.759
1<00:07:14.019><c> Corinthians</c><00:07:14.680><c> chapter</c><00:07:15.279><c> 10,</c><00:07:15.620><c> so</c><00:07:15.800><c> I'd</c><00:07:15.980><c> like</c><00:07:16.019><c> you</c><00:07:16.180><c> to</c><00:07:16.379><c> turn</c><00:07:16.579><c> there.</c>

00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:20.139
Yep?

00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:23.300
No.

00:07:24.060 --> 00:07:26.139
I'm<00:07:24.620><c> going</c><00:07:24.680><c> to</c><00:07:24.779><c> make</c><00:07:24.879><c> you</c><00:07:25.060><c> look</c><00:07:25.180><c> it</c><00:07:25.319><c> up</c><00:07:25.399><c> in</c><00:07:25.560><c> your</c><00:07:25.759><c> Bibles,</c>

Then<00:10:06.759><c> he</c><00:10:07.039><c> saith,</c><00:10:07.460><c> I</c><00:10:07.620><c> will</c><00:10:07.840><c> return</c><00:10:08.360><c> into</c><00:10:08.799><c> my</c><00:10:09.039><c> house</c><00:10:09.360><c> from</c><00:10:09.580><c> once</c>

00:10:09.779 --> 00:10:10.720
I<00:10:09.919><c> came</c><00:10:10.159><c> out.</c>

00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:16.279
And<00:10:11.320><c> when</c><00:10:11.480><c> he</c><00:10:11.639><c> has</c><00:10:11.840><c> come,</c><00:10:12.159><c> he</c><00:10:12.299><c> findeth</c><00:10:12.620><c> it</c><00:10:12.820><c> empty,</c><00:10:14.000><c> swept,</c><00:10:15.039><c> and</c><00:10:15.299><c> garnished.</c>

00:10:16.899 --> 00:10:20.259
Then<00:10:17.200><c> goeth</c><00:10:17.480><c> he</c><00:10:17.679><c> and</c><00:10:17.899><c> taketh</c><00:10:18.100><c> with</c><00:10:18.340><c> himself</c><00:10:18.919><c> seven</c><00:10:19.620><c> other</c>

00:10:23.179 --> 00:10:28.700
and<00:10:24.019><c> they</c><00:10:24.279><c> enter</c><00:10:24.840><c> in</c><00:10:25.279><c> and</c><00:10:25.679><c> dwell</c><00:10:26.080><c> there,</c><00:10:27.320><c> and</c><00:10:27.620><c> the</c><00:10:27.860><c> last</c><00:10:28.419><c> state</c>

00:10:28.700 --> 00:10:31.720

00:10:32.019 --> 00:10:37.960
Even<00:10:32.419><c> so</c><00:10:32.840><c> shall</c><00:10:33.080><c> it</c><00:10:33.279><c> be</c><00:10:33.539><c> also</c><00:10:34.500><c> unto</c><00:10:35.000><c> this</c><00:10:36.240><c> wicked</c><00:10:36.759><c> generation.</c>

00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.620
And<00:10:39.720><c> in</c><00:10:39.799><c> terms</c><00:10:40.179><c> of</c><00:10:40.860><c> interpretations</c><00:10:41.500><c> of</c><00:10:41.700><c> this</c><00:10:41.980><c> parable,</c><00:10:42.480><c> they're</c><00:10:42.919><c> varied</c><00:10:43.299><c> even</c>

00:10:43.620 --> 00:10:45.860
amongst<00:10:44.379><c> Christadelphians.</c>

00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.299
So<00:10:46.600><c> you</c><00:10:46.740><c> might</c><00:10:47.100><c> see,</c><00:10:47.860><c> sometimes</c><00:10:48.360><c> they're</c><00:10:48.539><c> very</c><00:10:48.980><c> personal</c><00:10:49.480><c> about</c><00:10:50.019><c> how</c>

00:10:50.299 --> 00:10:52.340
we're<00:10:50.620><c> supposed</c><00:10:50.820><c> to,</c>

00:10:52.460 --> 00:10:56.000
when<00:10:52.720><c> you</c><00:10:53.639><c> kick</c><00:10:53.960><c> out</c><00:10:54.159><c> a</c><00:10:54.299><c> false</c><00:10:54.559><c> doctrine,</c><00:10:55.000><c> how</c><00:10:55.139><c> you're</c><00:10:55.399><c> supposed</c><00:10:55.580><c> to</c><00:10:55.779><c> fill</c><00:10:55.879><c> it</c>

00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:57.279
with<00:10:56.139><c> a</c><00:10:56.360><c> positive</c><00:10:56.759><c> doctrine,</c>

00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:00.360
and<00:10:57.419><c> there's</c><00:10:57.700><c> a</c><00:10:58.399><c> practical</c><00:10:58.919><c> interpretation</c><00:10:59.659><c> that's</c><00:11:00.000><c> kind</c><00:11:00.100><c> of</c>

00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.039
personal<00:11:00.879><c> with</c><00:11:01.480><c> people.</c>

00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:06.740
As<00:11:02.899><c> much</c><00:11:03.100><c> as</c><00:11:03.220><c> that</c><00:11:03.399><c> is</c><00:11:03.679><c> true,</c><00:11:03.879><c> I</c><00:11:04.000><c> don't</c><00:11:04.259><c> think</c><00:11:04.460><c> that's</c><00:11:04.860><c> particularly</c><00:11:05.179><c> what</c><00:11:05.980><c> Jesus</c><00:11:06.399><c> is</c>

00:11:06.740 --> 00:11:08.519
saying<00:11:06.879><c> here</c><00:11:07.080><c> about</c><00:11:07.279><c> this</c><00:11:07.539><c> parable.</c>

00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.039
Another<00:11:09.740><c> interpretation</c><00:11:10.480><c> is</c><00:11:10.799><c> interpreted</c><00:11:11.440><c> with</c><00:11:12.019><c> John</c><00:11:12.360><c> the</c><00:11:12.559><c> Baptist.</c>

00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:18.120
John<00:11:13.460><c> the</c><00:11:13.639><c> Baptist</c><00:11:14.039><c> came</c><00:11:14.600><c> and</c><00:11:15.720><c> kicked</c><00:11:16.440><c> out</c><00:11:16.759><c> the</c><00:11:17.100><c> unclean</c><00:11:17.559><c> spirit,</c><00:11:18.019><c> and</c>

00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:19.039
when<00:11:18.259><c> Jesus</c><00:11:18.559><c> came</c><00:11:18.799><c> along,</c>

00:11:19.100 --> 00:11:21.840
there<00:11:19.159><c> were</c><00:11:19.360><c> seven</c><00:11:19.659><c> more</c><00:11:20.399><c> wicked</c><00:11:20.700><c> spirits</c><00:11:21.100><c> than</c><00:11:21.320><c> those</c><00:11:21.600><c> that</c>

00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.320
came<00:11:22.059><c> and</c><00:11:22.720><c> infected</c><00:11:23.139><c> the</c><00:11:23.399><c> people.</c>

00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.320
So<00:11:25.480><c> that's</c><00:11:25.980><c> another</c><00:11:26.259><c> interpretation</c><00:11:26.940><c> that</c><00:11:27.179><c> I've</c><00:11:27.320><c> run</c><00:11:27.480><c> into.</c>

00:11:28.940 --> 00:11:31.519
I<00:11:29.139><c> want</c><00:11:29.259><c> to</c><00:11:29.539><c> broaden</c><00:11:29.779><c> that</c><00:11:30.080><c> out</c><00:11:30.259><c> a</c><00:11:30.399><c> little</c><00:11:30.620><c> bit,</c><00:11:30.919><c> and</c><00:11:31.159><c> I</c><00:11:31.360><c> think</c>

00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.879
the<00:11:31.820><c> interpretation</c><00:11:32.419><c> is</c><00:11:33.139><c> broader</c><00:11:33.480><c> than</c><00:11:33.759><c> that.</c>

00:11:33.899 --> 00:11:38.440
It<00:11:34.139><c> is</c><00:11:34.539><c> centered</c><00:11:34.899><c> around</c><00:11:35.500><c> the</c><00:11:35.919><c> nation</c><00:11:36.440><c> of</c><00:11:37.120><c> Israel,</c><00:11:37.820><c> though.</c>

00:11:38.620 --> 00:11:43.820
And<00:11:39.240><c> you</c><00:11:39.480><c> can</c><00:11:39.799><c> see</c><00:11:40.000><c> that</c><00:11:41.139><c> right</c><00:11:41.600><c> from</c><00:11:41.799><c> the</c><00:11:41.919><c> very</c><00:11:42.159><c> end</c><00:11:42.379><c> of</c><00:11:42.559><c> the</c><00:11:42.820><c> parable.</c>

00:11:44.139 --> 00:11:50.320
He<00:11:44.279><c> says,</c><00:11:45.379><c> even</c><00:11:45.379><c> so</c><00:11:46.120><c> shall</c><00:11:46.340><c> it</c><00:11:46.539><c> be</c><00:11:46.799><c> also</c><00:11:47.519><c> unto</c><00:11:48.480><c> this</c><00:11:49.240><c> wicked</c><00:11:49.580><c> generation.</c>

00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:52.320
There's<00:11:51.179><c> the</c><00:11:51.440><c> clue.</c>

00:11:52.980 --> 00:11:58.679
The<00:11:53.340><c> parable</c><00:11:53.799><c> is</c><00:11:54.100><c> about</c><00:11:54.740><c> Jesus'</c><00:11:56.240><c> wicked</c><00:11:57.139><c> generation.</c>

00:11:59.100 --> 00:12:03.679
And<00:11:59.440><c> that</c><00:11:59.679><c> word</c><00:12:00.220><c> wicked</c><00:12:00.580><c> there</c><00:12:00.860><c> is</c><00:12:01.059><c> the</c><00:12:01.220><c> same</c><00:12:01.460><c> word</c><00:12:01.799><c> wicked</c><00:12:02.120><c> used</c><00:12:02.460><c> just</c><00:12:03.299><c> a</c>

00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.340
couple<00:12:03.899><c> cents</c><00:12:04.220><c> earlier,</c>

00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:10.519
about<00:12:05.539><c> seven</c><00:12:06.179><c> more</c><00:12:06.460><c> other</c><00:12:06.779><c> spirits</c><00:12:07.039><c> more</c><00:12:07.639><c> wicked</c><00:12:08.120><c> than</c><00:12:09.080><c> himself.</c>

00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:16.879
So<00:12:11.659><c> clearly,</c><00:12:12.120><c> it's</c><00:12:12.379><c> about</c><00:12:12.720><c> the</c><00:12:12.960><c> nation</c><00:12:13.259><c> of</c><00:12:13.519><c> Israel</c><00:12:14.039><c> during</c><00:12:14.620><c> the</c><00:12:14.980><c> days</c><00:12:15.279><c> of</c><00:12:15.820><c> Jesus.</c>

00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:22.740
And<00:12:18.039><c> so</c><00:12:18.419><c> they</c><00:12:18.860><c> accused</c><00:12:19.259><c> him</c><00:12:19.620><c> of</c><00:12:19.960><c> having</c><00:12:20.360><c> a</c><00:12:21.539><c> demon</c><00:12:21.960><c> and</c><00:12:22.320><c> casting</c>

00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.980
and<00:12:25.320><c> he</c><00:12:25.500><c> by</c><00:12:25.759><c> the</c><00:12:25.919><c> end</c><00:12:26.059><c> turns</c><00:12:26.419><c> that</c><00:12:26.759><c> around</c><00:12:27.120><c> and</c><00:12:27.320><c> says,</c><00:12:28.620><c> I'm</c><00:12:28.820><c> not</c>

00:12:28.980 --> 00:12:30.460
the<00:12:29.100><c> one</c><00:12:29.200><c> who</c><00:12:29.340><c> has</c><00:12:29.460><c> the</c><00:12:29.679><c> demon.</c>

00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.080
It's<00:12:31.019><c> the</c><00:12:31.179><c> nation</c><00:12:31.480><c> that</c><00:12:31.779><c> has</c><00:12:32.059><c> the</c><00:12:32.299><c> demon.</c>

00:12:34.179 --> 00:12:38.519
So<00:12:35.019><c> in</c><00:12:35.179><c> that</c><00:12:35.440><c> case,</c><00:12:35.919><c> let's</c><00:12:35.919><c> just</c><00:12:36.539><c> break</c><00:12:36.799><c> this</c><00:12:37.059><c> down</c><00:12:37.840><c> and</c><00:12:38.299><c> look</c>

00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.980
at<00:12:38.720><c> interpretation</c><00:12:39.379><c> this</c><00:12:39.899><c> way.</c>

00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.639
When<00:12:41.559><c> the</c><00:12:41.879><c> unclean</c><00:12:42.480><c> spirit</c><00:12:42.980><c> is</c><00:12:43.480><c> gone</c><00:12:43.820><c> out</c><00:12:44.299><c> of</c><00:12:44.500><c> a</c><00:12:44.679><c> man,</c>

00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.919
the<00:12:50.039><c> unclean</c><00:12:50.519><c> spirit</c><00:12:50.860><c> is</c><00:12:51.139><c> the</c><00:12:51.460><c> idolatry</c><00:12:52.039><c> of</c><00:12:52.279><c> Israel</c><00:12:52.700><c> which</c>

00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:54.059
was<00:12:53.340><c> exercised</c>

00:12:54.059 --> 00:12:57.820
when<00:12:54.259><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:12:55.080><c> destroys</c><00:12:55.720><c> the</c><00:12:56.100><c> temple</c><00:12:56.580><c> and</c><00:12:57.500><c> carries</c>

away<00:12:58.100><c> the</c><00:12:58.399><c> captives.</c>

00:12:59.659 --> 00:13:04.879
What<00:13:00.080><c> was</c><00:13:00.419><c> the</c><00:13:00.659><c> reason</c><00:13:01.220><c> for</c><00:13:01.659><c> the</c><00:13:02.019><c> first</c><00:13:02.559><c> destruction</c><00:13:03.340><c> of</c><00:13:03.799><c> the</c><00:13:03.980><c> temple?</c>

00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.419
It<00:13:07.320><c> was</c><00:13:07.659><c> their</c><00:13:07.960><c> idolatry.</c>

00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.820
It<00:13:09.799><c> was</c><00:13:10.100><c> the</c><00:13:10.379><c> unclean</c><00:13:10.960><c> spirit</c><00:13:11.480><c> that</c><00:13:11.960><c> affected</c><00:13:12.419><c> the</c><00:13:12.840><c> people.</c>

00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:20.240
And<00:13:16.580><c> so</c><00:13:16.980><c> this</c><00:13:17.799><c> whole</c><00:13:18.220><c> interpretation</c><00:13:18.960><c> centers</c><00:13:19.379><c> around</c><00:13:19.820><c> what</c>

00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.039
is<00:13:20.840><c> the</c><00:13:21.179><c> house.</c>

00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:23.879
It<00:13:22.820><c> is</c><00:13:23.059><c> the</c><00:13:23.279><c> temple,</c><00:13:23.620><c> isn't</c><00:13:23.759><c> it?</c>

00:13:23.899 --> 00:13:28.759
He<00:13:24.159><c> walketh</c><00:13:24.659><c> through</c><00:13:24.940><c> dry</c><00:13:25.320><c> places</c><00:13:25.779><c> seeking</c><00:13:26.200><c> rest</c><00:13:26.759><c> and</c><00:13:27.320><c> findeth</c><00:13:27.860><c> none.</c>

00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:34.500
So<00:13:28.960><c> this</c><00:13:29.179><c> would</c><00:13:29.399><c> represent</c><00:13:30.019><c> the</c><00:13:30.379><c> exile</c><00:13:30.820><c> in</c><00:13:31.100><c> Babylon</c><00:13:31.559><c> which</c><00:13:31.940><c> lasted</c><00:13:32.500><c> 70</c><00:13:33.179><c> years.</c>

00:13:35.019 --> 00:13:37.559
So<00:13:35.120><c> during</c><00:13:35.340><c> this</c><00:13:35.580><c> time</c><00:13:35.740><c> there</c><00:13:35.879><c> were</c><00:13:36.120><c> some</c><00:13:36.399><c> righteous</c><00:13:36.860><c> men,</c>

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.279
yet<00:13:38.139><c> among</c><00:13:38.539><c> the</c><00:13:38.679><c> majority</c><00:13:39.200><c> there</c><00:13:39.659><c> was</c><00:13:40.039><c> a</c><00:13:40.360><c> prevailing</c><00:13:40.860><c> spirit</c>

00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.559
still<00:13:41.759><c> of</c><00:13:42.220><c> worship</c><00:13:42.659><c> of</c><00:13:43.000><c> other</c><00:13:43.240><c> gods.</c>

00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:49.399
There<00:13:43.740><c> was</c><00:13:44.220><c> an</c><00:13:44.639><c> idolatry</c><00:13:45.220><c> in</c><00:13:45.460><c> their</c><00:13:45.779><c> hearts</c><00:13:46.080><c> as</c><00:13:46.440><c> Ezekiel</c><00:13:47.320><c> 36</c><00:13:48.259><c> states.</c>

00:13:51.580 --> 00:13:55.299
Then<00:13:51.940><c> he</c><00:13:52.240><c> saith,</c><00:13:52.620><c> I</c><00:13:52.679><c> will</c><00:13:52.919><c> return</c><00:13:53.419><c> into</c><00:13:53.899><c> my</c><00:13:54.259><c> house</c><00:13:54.679><c> from</c><00:13:54.919><c> whence</c><00:13:55.179><c> I</c>

00:13:55.299 --> 00:13:55.960
came<00:13:55.580><c> out,</c>

00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:00.879
and<00:13:56.159><c> when</c><00:13:56.320><c> he</c><00:13:56.519><c> has</c><00:13:56.799><c> come</c><00:13:57.000><c> he</c><00:13:57.279><c> findeth</c><00:13:57.740><c> it</c><00:13:58.340><c> empty,</c><00:13:59.600><c> swept</c><00:13:59.799><c> and</c><00:14:00.240><c> garnished.</c>

00:14:01.379 --> 00:14:04.360
So<00:14:01.679><c> this</c><00:14:01.879><c> would</c><00:14:02.120><c> represent</c><00:14:02.759><c> the</c><00:14:02.960><c> return</c><00:14:03.419><c> of</c><00:14:03.659><c> the</c><00:14:03.820><c> exiles</c>

00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:08.299
under<00:14:04.679><c> the</c><00:14:05.919><c> times</c><00:14:06.279><c> of</c><00:14:06.539><c> Ezra</c><00:14:06.980><c> and</c><00:14:07.259><c> Nehemiah</c><00:14:07.919><c> when</c><00:14:08.080><c> there's</c>

00:14:08.299 --> 00:14:10.139
this<00:14:08.600><c> national</c><00:14:09.179><c> rejuvenation.</c>

00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:14.240
The<00:14:10.779><c> temple</c><00:14:11.179><c> is</c><00:14:11.600><c> rebuilt</c><00:14:12.200><c> and</c><00:14:13.240><c> it's</c><00:14:13.539><c> rededicated.</c>

00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:18.080
It<00:14:14.500><c> is</c><00:14:14.899><c> empty,</c><00:14:16.100><c> swept</c><00:14:16.340><c> and</c><00:14:16.860><c> garnished.</c>

00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.440
The<00:14:20.960><c> unclean</c><00:14:21.379><c> spirit's</c><00:14:21.740><c> gone</c><00:14:21.860><c> out</c><00:14:22.039><c> of</c><00:14:22.139><c> the</c><00:14:22.299><c> man,</c>

00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:25.960
they've<00:14:22.700><c> come</c><00:14:23.000><c> back</c><00:14:23.379><c> and</c><00:14:23.519><c> there's</c><00:14:23.840><c> this</c><00:14:24.519><c> new</c><00:14:24.860><c> spirit</c><00:14:25.340><c> that's</c>

00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:27.519
in<00:14:26.200><c> the</c><00:14:26.419><c> people.</c>

00:14:29.700 --> 00:14:34.419
But<00:14:29.840><c> then</c><00:14:30.159><c> goeth</c><00:14:31.240><c> he</c><00:14:31.539><c> and</c><00:14:31.799><c> taketh</c><00:14:32.039><c> with</c><00:14:32.279><c> himself</c><00:14:32.779><c> seven</c><00:14:33.419><c> other</c><00:14:33.919><c> spirits</c>

00:14:34.419 --> 00:14:37.740
more<00:14:34.980><c> wicked</c><00:14:35.340><c> than</c><00:14:35.559><c> himself</c><00:14:36.159><c> and</c><00:14:36.460><c> they</c><00:14:36.759><c> enter</c><00:14:37.039><c> in</c><00:14:37.279><c> there</c><00:14:37.480><c> and</c>

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:38.960
dwell<00:14:38.000><c> there.</c>

00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:40.659
And<00:14:39.480><c> there's</c><00:14:39.740><c> this</c><00:14:40.039><c> time</c><00:14:40.299><c> period.</c>

00:14:41.139 --> 00:14:44.279
We're<00:14:41.480><c> not</c><00:14:41.740><c> given</c><00:14:42.059><c> anything</c><00:14:42.519><c> between</c><00:14:43.259><c> the</c><00:14:43.580><c> testaments,</c><00:14:43.960><c> are</c><00:14:44.179><c> we?</c>

00:14:44.299 --> 00:14:48.039
But<00:14:44.480><c> there</c><00:14:44.740><c> are</c><00:14:45.039><c> four</c><00:14:45.419><c> centuries</c><00:14:46.059><c> of</c><00:14:46.940><c> history.</c>

00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:50.960
And<00:14:48.779><c> even</c><00:14:48.960><c> though</c><00:14:49.100><c> you</c><00:14:49.179><c> have</c><00:14:49.279><c> the</c><00:14:49.500><c> reforms</c><00:14:49.820><c> of</c><00:14:50.080><c> Ezra</c><00:14:50.399><c> and</c><00:14:50.519><c> Nehemiah,</c>

00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:53.720
it<00:14:50.960><c> didn't</c><00:14:51.179><c> take</c><00:14:51.539><c> long</c><00:14:51.820><c> before</c><00:14:52.240><c> these</c><00:14:52.700><c> heathen</c><00:14:53.259><c> influences</c>

00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:54.639
again<00:14:54.120><c> encroached</c>

00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:59.100
that<00:14:54.820><c> they</c><00:14:55.240><c> learned</c><00:14:55.779><c> their</c><00:14:56.679><c> works</c><00:14:57.179><c> and</c><00:14:57.720><c> they</c><00:14:57.879><c> were</c><00:14:58.159><c> polluted</c>

00:14:59.100 --> 00:15:02.899
by<00:14:59.580><c> the</c><00:14:59.899><c> thinking</c><00:15:00.200><c> of</c><00:15:00.820><c> mainly</c><00:15:01.100><c> of</c><00:15:01.360><c> the</c><00:15:01.639><c> Persians.</c>

00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:06.039
The<00:15:03.259><c> Persians</c><00:15:03.600><c> believed</c><00:15:03.899><c> in</c><00:15:04.139><c> something</c><00:15:04.399><c> called</c><00:15:04.700><c> Zoroastrianism</c>

00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:09.639
which<00:15:06.559><c> incorporated</c><00:15:07.240><c> these</c><00:15:07.559><c> ideas</c><00:15:07.919><c> of</c><00:15:08.259><c> evil</c><00:15:08.519><c> spirits.</c>

00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:12.860
And<00:15:10.480><c> they</c><00:15:10.679><c> had</c><00:15:11.019><c> a</c><00:15:11.279><c> very</c><00:15:11.519><c> distinct</c><00:15:12.000><c> dualism,</c>

00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:17.659
this<00:15:13.220><c> battle</c><00:15:13.519><c> between</c><00:15:13.919><c> the</c><00:15:14.159><c> forces</c><00:15:14.500><c> of</c><00:15:14.820><c> darkness</c><00:15:15.220><c> and</c><00:15:15.580><c> the</c><00:15:15.759><c> forces</c><00:15:16.220><c> of</c><00:15:16.799><c> light.</c>

00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:22.500
And<00:15:17.879><c> oddly</c><00:15:18.179><c> enough,</c><00:15:18.620><c> they</c><00:15:18.860><c> actually</c><00:15:19.259><c> incorporate</c><00:15:20.179><c> seven</c><00:15:21.659><c> spirits,</c>

00:15:22.740 --> 00:15:24.960
seven<00:15:23.120><c> evil</c><00:15:23.659><c> spirits.</c>

00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:29.919
So<00:15:26.559><c> is</c><00:15:26.740><c> it</c><00:15:26.919><c> any</c><00:15:27.240><c> coincidence</c><00:15:27.679><c> that</c><00:15:27.940><c> Jesus</c><00:15:28.340><c> himself</c><00:15:28.840><c> talks</c><00:15:29.259><c> about</c>

00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:33.659
seven<00:15:30.659><c> more</c><00:15:31.159><c> wicked</c><00:15:31.500><c> spirits</c><00:15:32.139><c> than</c><00:15:32.539><c> himself?</c>

00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:37.820
So<00:15:35.340><c> it</c><00:15:35.519><c> all</c><00:15:35.799><c> centers</c><00:15:36.120><c> around,</c><00:15:36.559><c> this</c><00:15:36.820><c> parable</c><00:15:37.159><c> all</c><00:15:37.519><c> centers</c>

00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:39.580
around<00:15:38.419><c> the</c><00:15:39.000><c> house.</c>

00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:42.200
So<00:15:40.279><c> when</c><00:15:40.399><c> you're</c><00:15:40.580><c> reading</c><00:15:40.879><c> the</c><00:15:41.259><c> parable,</c>

00:15:42.340 --> 00:15:46.480
you're<00:15:42.659><c> supposed</c><00:15:42.820><c> to</c><00:15:43.019><c> think</c><00:15:43.139><c> of</c><00:15:43.299><c> the</c><00:15:43.539><c> house</c><00:15:43.860><c> as</c><00:15:44.879><c> the</c><00:15:45.379><c> temple.</c>

00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:49.200
Now,<00:15:47.960><c> just</c><00:15:48.220><c> the</c><00:15:48.519><c> proof</c><00:15:48.659><c> of</c><00:15:48.899><c> that,</c>

00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:52.639
I<00:15:49.440><c> just</c><00:15:49.559><c> want</c><00:15:49.679><c> you</c><00:15:49.820><c> to</c><00:15:50.000><c> turn</c><00:15:50.139><c> over</c><00:15:50.299><c> to</c><00:15:50.399><c> Matthew</c><00:15:50.820><c> chapter</c><00:15:51.220><c> 23.</c>

00:15:55.960 --> 00:16:00.779
And<00:15:56.220><c> just</c><00:15:56.639><c> as</c><00:15:57.000><c> a</c><00:15:57.460><c> parallel,</c><00:15:58.019><c> you</c><00:15:58.059><c> can</c><00:15:58.360><c> see</c><00:15:58.559><c> it</c><00:15:58.759><c> here.</c>

Verily,<00:16:14.039><c> I</c><00:16:14.039><c> say</c><00:16:14.200><c> unto</c><00:16:14.379><c> you,</c><00:16:14.580><c> all</c><00:16:14.779><c> these</c><00:16:15.100><c> things</c><00:16:15.279><c> shall</c><00:16:15.480><c> come</c>

00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.100
Well,<00:16:18.559><c> how</c><00:16:18.799><c> did</c><00:16:19.299><c> Jesus</c><00:16:19.639><c> send</c><00:16:19.879><c> this</c><00:16:20.299><c> one?</c>

And<00:16:25.600><c> so</c><00:16:25.720><c> he's</c><00:16:25.940><c> starting</c><00:16:26.120><c> off</c><00:16:26.360><c> this</c><00:16:26.659><c> section</c><00:16:27.120><c> here</c><00:16:27.799><c> in</c><00:16:27.980><c> Matthew</c><00:16:28.379><c> 23</c>

Behold,<00:16:50.820><c> your</c><00:16:51.159><c> house</c><00:16:52.000><c> is</c><00:16:52.980><c> left</c><00:16:53.299><c> unto</c><00:16:53.700><c> you</c><00:16:54.399><c> desolate,</c>

00:16:59.539 --> 00:17:02.019
till<00:16:59.620><c> you</c><00:16:59.860><c> shall</c><00:17:00.039><c> say,</c><00:17:00.480><c> blessed</c><00:17:00.740><c> is</c><00:17:00.980><c> he</c><00:17:01.159><c> that</c><00:17:01.419><c> cometh</c><00:17:01.720><c> in</c><00:17:01.919><c> the</c>

00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:08.359
That's<00:17:06.480><c> going</c><00:17:06.579><c> to</c><00:17:06.680><c> be</c><00:17:06.859><c> left</c><00:17:07.180><c> desolate.</c>

00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:10.200
And<00:17:08.700><c> what's</c><00:17:08.980><c> the</c><00:17:09.180><c> house?</c>

00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:12.900
Well,<00:17:10.640><c> you</c><00:17:10.720><c> have</c><00:17:10.980><c> the</c><00:17:11.220><c> house</c><00:17:11.579><c> of</c><00:17:11.799><c> Israel,</c>

00:17:19.500 --> 00:17:20.700
Well,<00:17:19.619><c> it's</c><00:17:19.700><c> the</c><00:17:19.960><c> context,</c><00:17:20.599><c> right?</c>

00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:23.559

00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.940
There<00:17:34.279><c> shall</c><00:17:34.480><c> not</c><00:17:34.680><c> be</c><00:17:34.900><c> left</c><00:17:35.140><c> one</c><00:17:35.680><c> stone</c><00:17:36.380><c> upon</c><00:17:36.980><c> another.</c>

00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:40.759
The<00:17:38.859><c> house</c><00:17:39.400><c> of</c><00:17:40.019><c> God,</c><00:17:40.299><c> the</c><00:17:40.480><c> temple,</c>

00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:49.900
And<00:17:46.359><c> so</c><00:17:46.559><c> this</c><00:17:47.140><c> to</c><00:17:47.339><c> me</c><00:17:47.599><c> really</c><00:17:47.940><c> is</c><00:17:48.559><c> the</c><00:17:49.160><c> interpretation</c>

00:17:49.900 --> 00:17:54.200

00:18:24.589 --> 00:18:27.029
In<00:18:24.890><c> the</c><00:18:25.170><c> history</c><00:18:25.670><c> of</c><00:18:25.970><c> what</c><00:18:26.430><c> happens</c>

00:18:36.670 --> 00:18:40.049
It's<00:18:36.769><c> by</c><00:18:37.410><c> a</c><00:18:37.690><c> scholar</c><00:18:38.009><c> named</c><00:18:38.269><c> James</c><00:18:38.670><c> Packer,</c><00:18:39.769><c> mainly,</c>

00:18:40.130 --> 00:18:42.269

00:18:42.309 --> 00:18:44.029

00:18:44.450 --> 00:18:46.309
this<00:18:44.490><c> is</c><00:18:44.769><c> pretty</c><00:18:45.009><c> much</c><00:18:45.230><c> a</c><00:18:45.470><c> very</c><00:18:45.710><c> good</c><00:18:45.930><c> summary</c>

00:18:53.549 --> 00:18:55.430
The<00:18:53.710><c> Hebrew</c><00:18:53.970><c> language</c><00:18:54.490><c> was</c><00:18:54.829><c> dying</c><00:18:55.069><c> off,</c>

00:18:55.430 --> 00:18:58.049

00:18:58.230 --> 00:19:02.450
The<00:18:58.569><c> temple</c><00:18:58.950><c> had</c><00:18:59.109><c> been</c><00:18:59.329><c> destroyed</c><00:18:59.890><c> and</c><00:19:00.250><c> animal</c><00:19:00.529><c> sacrifices</c><00:19:01.170><c> stopped.</c>

00:19:07.049 --> 00:19:11.329

00:19:11.329 --> 00:19:13.349

00:19:13.450 --> 00:19:15.250
Some<00:19:13.750><c> Jews</c><00:19:14.150><c> hedged</c><00:19:14.750><c> their</c><00:19:15.009><c> faith</c>

00:19:18.309 --> 00:19:22.109
They<00:19:18.650><c> moved</c><00:19:18.910><c> into</c><00:19:19.190><c> these</c><00:19:19.470><c> areas</c><00:19:20.109><c> very</c><00:19:21.029><c> slowly,</c>

00:19:22.450 --> 00:19:24.369
and<00:19:22.569><c> Jewish</c><00:19:22.869><c> leaders</c><00:19:23.210><c> did</c><00:19:23.450><c> not</c><00:19:23.609><c> realize</c><00:19:23.930><c> at</c><00:19:24.170><c> first</c>

00:19:25.109 --> 00:19:27.650
but<00:19:25.430><c> Jewish</c><00:19:25.849><c> mystics</c><00:19:26.390><c> began</c><00:19:26.690><c> to</c><00:19:26.970><c> reinterpret</c>

00:19:27.650 --> 00:19:29.829
the<00:19:28.329><c> traditional</c><00:19:28.930><c> Jewish</c><00:19:29.369><c> teachings</c>

00:19:29.829 --> 00:19:34.650
in<00:19:30.130><c> light</c><00:19:30.390><c> of</c><00:19:31.049><c> the</c><00:19:31.390><c> pagan</c><00:19:31.730><c> beliefs</c><00:19:32.430><c> they</c><00:19:33.250><c> had</c><00:19:33.609><c> accepted.</c>

00:19:35.569 --> 00:19:36.789
He<00:19:35.710><c> continues.</c>

00:19:37.210 --> 00:19:40.930
For<00:19:37.349><c> example,</c><00:19:38.130><c> Jews</c><00:19:38.289><c> of</c><00:19:38.529><c> the</c><00:19:38.769><c> Diaspora,</c><00:19:39.630><c> of</c><00:19:39.829><c> the</c><00:19:40.029><c> exile,</c>

00:19:41.170 --> 00:19:44.589
became<00:19:41.369><c> fascinated</c><00:19:42.250><c> with</c><00:19:42.670><c> demons</c><00:19:43.170><c> and</c><00:19:43.690><c> angels.</c>

00:19:45.009 --> 00:19:48.410
They<00:19:45.490><c> qualified</c><00:19:46.210><c> the</c><00:19:46.450><c> biblical</c><00:19:46.869><c> belief</c><00:19:47.450><c> in</c><00:19:47.769><c> a</c><00:19:48.049><c> creator</c>

00:19:48.410 --> 00:19:51.509

00:19:51.490 --> 00:19:54.450
by<00:19:51.910><c> adopting</c><00:19:52.450><c> a</c><00:19:52.869><c> Persian</c><00:19:53.309><c> view</c><00:19:53.730><c> of</c><00:19:53.950><c> the</c><00:19:54.230><c> universe</c>

00:19:54.450 --> 00:19:57.690
with<00:19:54.670><c> its</c><00:19:54.910><c> elaborate</c><00:19:55.410><c> spirit</c><00:19:55.829><c> world</c><00:19:56.170><c> and</c><00:19:56.410><c> an</c><00:19:56.630><c> ongoing</c><00:19:57.029><c> war</c>

00:19:57.690 --> 00:20:00.829

00:20:01.329 --> 00:20:02.890
I<00:20:01.509><c> just</c><00:20:01.670><c> want</c><00:20:01.809><c> to</c><00:20:01.950><c> comment</c><00:20:02.230><c> on</c><00:20:02.329><c> that</c><00:20:02.529><c> a</c><00:20:02.630><c> little</c><00:20:02.769><c> bit</c>

00:20:02.890 --> 00:20:05.690
because<00:20:03.150><c> that's</c><00:20:03.490><c> a</c><00:20:03.630><c> very</c><00:20:03.990><c> insightful</c><00:20:04.849><c> comment</c>

00:20:05.690 --> 00:20:09.609
about<00:20:06.390><c> what</c><00:20:07.250><c> Jesus</c><00:20:07.650><c> is</c><00:20:07.950><c> battling</c><00:20:08.210><c> in</c><00:20:08.410><c> the</c><00:20:08.490><c> New</c><00:20:08.670><c> Testament.</c>

00:20:10.970 --> 00:20:14.009
What<00:20:11.369><c> was</c><00:20:11.690><c> wrong</c><00:20:11.910><c> with</c><00:20:12.170><c> the</c><00:20:12.450><c> belief</c><00:20:12.630><c> about</c><00:20:13.029><c> demons?</c>

00:20:14.710 --> 00:20:18.390
Well,<00:20:14.849><c> it</c><00:20:15.170><c> qualifies</c><00:20:16.289><c> the</c><00:20:16.650><c> biblical</c><00:20:17.009><c> belief</c><00:20:17.430><c> in</c><00:20:17.630><c> a</c><00:20:17.930><c> creator</c>

00:20:18.390 --> 00:20:21.930
who<00:20:19.369><c> has</c><00:20:19.730><c> sovereign</c><00:20:20.069><c> control</c><00:20:20.569><c> of</c><00:20:20.690><c> his</c><00:20:20.950><c> creation.</c>

00:20:22.490 --> 00:20:25.029
And<00:20:23.130><c> so</c><00:20:23.269><c> what</c><00:20:23.410><c> is</c><00:20:23.589><c> Jesus</c><00:20:23.930><c> coming</c><00:20:24.349><c> and</c><00:20:24.829><c> doing?</c>

00:20:25.130 --> 00:20:28.349
He's<00:20:25.549><c> showing</c><00:20:25.650><c> that</c><00:20:25.910><c> the</c><00:20:26.170><c> true</c><00:20:26.410><c> power</c><00:20:26.930><c> over</c><00:20:27.250><c> all</c><00:20:27.569><c> of</c><00:20:27.750><c> these</c><00:20:27.910><c> things</c>

00:20:28.349 --> 00:20:30.869
is<00:20:28.950><c> with</c><00:20:29.250><c> God</c><00:20:29.589><c> himself.</c>

00:20:32.289 --> 00:20:34.450
And<00:20:32.930><c> what</c><00:20:33.069><c> is</c><00:20:33.250><c> the</c><00:20:33.470><c> problem</c><00:20:33.730><c> with</c><00:20:33.930><c> them</c><00:20:34.190><c> coming</c>

00:20:34.450 --> 00:20:38.910
and<00:20:35.269><c> accusing</c><00:20:35.809><c> him</c><00:20:36.309><c> of</c><00:20:36.690><c> casting</c><00:20:37.049><c> out</c><00:20:37.269><c> demons</c><00:20:37.569><c> by</c><00:20:37.829><c> Beelzebub?</c>

00:20:39.410 --> 00:20:41.930
They<00:20:39.730><c> are</c><00:20:39.990><c> blaspheming</c><00:20:40.549><c> the</c><00:20:40.769><c> Holy</c><00:20:41.029><c> Spirit</c>

00:20:42.009 --> 00:20:44.430
by<00:20:42.250><c> which</c><00:20:42.490><c> God</c><00:20:42.730><c> does</c><00:20:43.029><c> these</c><00:20:43.269><c> things.</c>

00:20:45.109 --> 00:20:48.690
And<00:20:45.750><c> they</c><00:20:46.049><c> adopted</c><00:20:46.490><c> what</c><00:20:47.029><c> is</c><00:20:47.410><c> really</c><00:20:47.750><c> a</c><00:20:47.930><c> Persian</c><00:20:48.369><c> view</c>

00:20:48.690 --> 00:20:54.190
of<00:20:48.789><c> the</c><00:20:48.950><c> universe</c><00:20:49.569><c> in</c><00:20:50.630><c> their</c><00:20:50.910><c> belief</c><00:20:51.390><c> of</c><00:20:52.069><c> being</c><00:20:52.349><c> possessed</c><00:20:52.849><c> by</c><00:20:53.210><c> demons.</c>

00:20:54.930 --> 00:20:56.250
He<00:20:55.029><c> continues,</c>

00:20:57.089 --> 00:20:59.430
Jewish<00:20:57.650><c> mystics</c><00:20:58.210><c> compiled</c><00:20:58.769><c> these</c><00:20:59.069><c> beliefs</c>

00:20:59.430 --> 00:21:01.190
in<00:20:59.670><c> a</c><00:20:59.809><c> group</c><00:20:59.970><c> of</c><00:21:00.250><c> religious</c><00:21:00.750><c> writings</c>

00:21:01.190 --> 00:21:05.190
known<00:21:01.609><c> as</c><00:21:01.990><c> the</c><00:21:02.170><c> Deuterocanon</c><00:21:03.289><c> and</c><00:21:03.829><c> Pseudopigrapha.</c>

00:21:05.569 --> 00:21:07.390
So<00:21:05.769><c> these</c><00:21:05.970><c> are</c><00:21:06.150><c> books</c><00:21:06.329><c> outside</c><00:21:06.809><c> of</c><00:21:06.990><c> the</c><00:21:07.130><c> Bible.</c>

00:21:07.470 --> 00:21:10.450
The<00:21:07.609><c> Deuterocanon</c><00:21:08.509><c> is</c><00:21:08.809><c> the</c><00:21:09.109><c> Apocrypha.</c>

00:21:10.690 --> 00:21:12.609
The<00:21:11.069><c> Catholics</c><00:21:11.390><c> have</c><00:21:11.650><c> that</c><00:21:11.910><c> in</c><00:21:12.109><c> their</c><00:21:12.369><c> Bible,</c>

00:21:12.609 --> 00:21:14.410
but<00:21:12.809><c> we</c><00:21:13.049><c> do</c><00:21:13.230><c> not</c><00:21:13.450><c> have</c><00:21:13.589><c> it</c><00:21:13.769><c> in</c><00:21:13.869><c> our</c><00:21:14.150><c> canon.</c>

00:21:14.589 --> 00:21:15.930
It's<00:21:14.730><c> not</c><00:21:14.970><c> accepted</c><00:21:15.349><c> scripture.</c>

00:21:15.930 --> 00:21:18.670
And<00:21:16.549><c> beyond</c><00:21:16.910><c> that,</c><00:21:17.269><c> there</c><00:21:17.410><c> were</c><00:21:17.589><c> these</c><00:21:17.930><c> false</c><00:21:18.269><c> writings,</c>

00:21:18.769 --> 00:21:20.690
that's<00:21:19.009><c> what</c><00:21:19.190><c> Pseudopigrapha</c><00:21:19.910><c> stands</c><00:21:20.269><c> for,</c>

00:21:20.990 --> 00:21:23.930
that<00:21:21.289><c> elaborated</c><00:21:21.990><c> more</c><00:21:22.329><c> on</c><00:21:22.549><c> these</c><00:21:22.809><c> ideas.</c>

00:21:24.769 --> 00:21:27.539
So<00:21:24.910><c> he</c><00:21:25.130><c> says</c><00:21:25.269><c> some</c><00:21:25.809><c> Deuterocanical</c><00:21:26.750><c> books,</c>

00:21:28.190 --> 00:21:29.529

00:21:29.630 --> 00:21:32.609
has<00:21:30.130><c> anybody</c><00:21:30.410><c> ever</c><00:21:30.650><c> read</c><00:21:30.829><c> the</c><00:21:31.009><c> Book</c><00:21:31.170><c> of</c><00:21:31.430><c> Tobit</c><00:21:31.710><c> before?</c>

00:21:33.009 --> 00:21:34.750
It's<00:21:33.589><c> a</c><00:21:33.750><c> very</c><00:21:34.109><c> strange</c><00:21:34.490><c> book,</c>

00:21:34.930 --> 00:21:36.009
and<00:21:34.930><c> when</c><00:21:35.230><c> you</c><00:21:35.470><c> read</c><00:21:35.670><c> it,</c>

00:21:36.109 --> 00:21:38.869
you<00:21:36.470><c> realize</c><00:21:36.849><c> that</c><00:21:37.109><c> it</c><00:21:37.369><c> really</c><00:21:37.730><c> shouldn't</c><00:21:37.970><c> be</c><00:21:38.230><c> in</c><00:21:38.390><c> the</c><00:21:38.630><c> canon.</c>

00:21:38.890 --> 00:21:40.369
It's<00:21:39.150><c> very</c><00:21:39.490><c> different.</c>

00:21:40.589 --> 00:21:42.710
And<00:21:40.930><c> it</c><00:21:41.289><c> promoted</c><00:21:41.789><c> astrology.</c>

00:21:42.710 --> 00:21:46.210
And<00:21:43.670><c> the</c><00:21:43.970><c> teachings</c><00:21:44.349><c> of</c><00:21:44.650><c> Zoroastrianism,</c>

00:21:46.829 --> 00:21:48.329
which<00:21:46.829><c> came</c><00:21:47.170><c> from</c><00:21:47.410><c> Persian.</c>

00:21:48.569 --> 00:21:50.250
So<00:21:48.750><c> the</c><00:21:48.970><c> story</c><00:21:49.230><c> of</c><00:21:49.470><c> Tobit</c><00:21:49.809><c> asserts</c>

00:21:50.250 --> 00:21:52.329
the<00:21:50.430><c> victory</c><00:21:50.730><c> of</c><00:21:50.930><c> God</c><00:21:51.170><c> over</c><00:21:51.450><c> pagan</c><00:21:51.809><c> demons,</c>

00:21:52.470 --> 00:21:54.329
but<00:21:52.670><c> in</c><00:21:52.849><c> the</c><00:21:53.069><c> process</c><00:21:53.549><c> it</c><00:21:53.849><c> acknowledges</c>

00:21:54.329 --> 00:21:56.549
the<00:21:54.549><c> power</c><00:21:54.930><c> of</c><00:21:55.190><c> pagan</c><00:21:55.430><c> demons.</c>

00:21:56.710 --> 00:21:58.990
Moreover,<00:21:57.029><c> it</c><00:21:57.210><c> portrays</c><00:21:57.589><c> God</c><00:21:57.970><c> as</c><00:21:58.190><c> a</c><00:21:58.410><c> great</c><00:21:58.650><c> force</c>

00:21:58.990 --> 00:22:00.430
behind<00:21:59.329><c> the</c><00:21:59.569><c> events</c><00:21:59.750><c> of</c><00:22:00.029><c> life,</c>

00:22:00.809 --> 00:22:03.549
rather<00:22:01.190><c> than</c><00:22:02.230><c> a</c><00:22:02.549><c> personal</c><00:22:03.089><c> presence</c>

00:22:03.549 --> 00:22:05.369
in<00:22:03.750><c> the</c><00:22:03.849><c> midst</c><00:22:04.009><c> of</c><00:22:04.210><c> his</c><00:22:04.430><c> people.</c>

00:22:06.029 --> 00:22:07.829
So<00:22:06.269><c> this</c><00:22:06.509><c> erosion</c><00:22:06.869><c> of</c><00:22:07.069><c> the</c><00:22:07.230><c> Jewish</c><00:22:07.450><c> faith</c>

00:22:07.829 --> 00:22:09.769
made<00:22:08.109><c> it</c><00:22:08.430><c> more</c><00:22:08.630><c> difficult</c><00:22:09.109><c> for</c><00:22:09.369><c> the</c><00:22:09.589><c> Jews</c>

00:22:09.769 --> 00:22:12.470
to<00:22:10.089><c> believe</c><00:22:10.289><c> that</c><00:22:10.529><c> Jesus</c><00:22:10.789><c> was</c><00:22:11.089><c> a</c><00:22:11.309><c> manual</c><00:22:11.549><c> God</c><00:22:11.829><c> with</c><00:22:12.069><c> us.</c>

00:22:12.470 --> 00:22:15.769
And<00:22:13.089><c> many</c><00:22:13.410><c> Jews</c><00:22:13.690><c> still</c><00:22:14.250><c> held</c><00:22:14.690><c> to</c><00:22:15.009><c> the</c><00:22:15.230><c> pagan</c><00:22:15.450><c> belief</c>

00:22:15.769 --> 00:22:17.410
that<00:22:15.990><c> God</c><00:22:16.289><c> had</c><00:22:16.549><c> removed</c><00:22:16.869><c> himself</c>

00:22:17.410 --> 00:22:20.809
from<00:22:18.410><c> man's</c><00:22:19.289><c> everyday</c><00:22:19.589><c> life.</c>

00:22:21.789 --> 00:22:23.549
Now<00:22:21.930><c> we</c><00:22:22.109><c> can</c><00:22:22.410><c> pack</c><00:22:22.650><c> up,</c>

00:22:23.769 --> 00:22:26.970
we<00:22:23.910><c> can</c><00:22:24.490><c> put</c><00:22:25.210><c> all</c><00:22:25.490><c> these</c><00:22:25.769><c> scholarly</c><00:22:26.170><c> quotes</c><00:22:26.509><c> together,</c>

00:22:26.990 --> 00:22:29.910
and<00:22:27.089><c> they</c><00:22:27.349><c> really</c><00:22:27.690><c> kind</c><00:22:27.930><c> of</c><00:22:28.150><c> paint</c><00:22:28.250><c> a</c><00:22:28.470><c> picture</c><00:22:28.710><c> for</c><00:22:29.029><c> us</c>

00:22:29.910 --> 00:22:33.630
of<00:22:30.170><c> where</c><00:22:30.829><c> this</c><00:22:31.630><c> demonology</c><00:22:32.269><c> comes</c><00:22:32.650><c> from.</c>

00:22:34.009 --> 00:22:35.930
You<00:22:34.130><c> know,</c><00:22:34.349><c> all</c><00:22:34.549><c> of</c><00:22:34.690><c> a</c><00:22:34.690><c> sudden</c><00:22:34.809><c> it</c><00:22:34.970><c> just</c><00:22:35.269><c> explodes</c>

00:22:35.930 --> 00:22:38.089
on<00:22:36.170><c> the</c><00:22:36.390><c> scene</c><00:22:36.650><c> of</c><00:22:37.170><c> the</c><00:22:37.430><c> Gospels.</c>

00:22:38.410 --> 00:22:40.150
But<00:22:38.650><c> there</c><00:22:38.789><c> were</c><00:22:39.029><c> hundreds</c><00:22:39.349><c> of</c><00:22:39.609><c> years</c><00:22:39.789><c> before</c>

00:22:40.150 --> 00:22:41.690
where<00:22:40.309><c> this</c><00:22:40.549><c> was</c><00:22:40.750><c> being</c><00:22:41.049><c> developed.</c>

00:22:41.690 --> 00:22:44.589
Now<00:22:42.470><c> there's</c><00:22:43.210><c> streams</c><00:22:43.710><c> of</c><00:22:43.970><c> Jewish</c><00:22:44.250><c> thought,</c>

00:22:44.589 --> 00:22:47.069
we<00:22:44.750><c> can</c><00:22:45.009><c> see</c><00:22:45.130><c> the</c><00:22:45.410><c> Sadducees</c><00:22:46.069><c> and</c><00:22:46.269><c> the</c><00:22:46.490><c> Pharisees</c>

00:22:47.069 --> 00:22:49.849

00:22:49.890 --> 00:22:52.470
but<00:22:50.049><c> they</c><00:22:50.769><c> really</c><00:22:51.190><c> do</c><00:22:51.410><c> come</c><00:22:51.670><c> through</c>

00:22:52.750 --> 00:22:55.450
in<00:22:53.349><c> what</c><00:22:53.910><c> Jesus</c><00:22:54.309><c> is</c><00:22:54.630><c> battling.</c>

These<00:26:48.630><c> seven</c><00:26:50.349><c> wicked</c><00:26:51.789><c> spirits.</c>

00:26:54.630 --> 00:26:58.190
So<00:26:54.650><c> at</c><00:26:54.849><c> the</c><00:26:54.990><c> end</c><00:26:55.109><c> of</c><00:26:55.269><c> the</c><00:26:55.549><c> parable,</c><00:26:56.470><c> Jesus</c><00:26:56.970><c> says,</c>

00:26:58.849 --> 00:27:03.450
and<00:26:58.849><c> the</c><00:26:59.049><c> last</c><00:27:00.049><c> state</c><00:27:00.609><c> of</c><00:27:01.029><c> that</c><00:27:01.390><c> man,</c><00:27:02.349><c> Israel,</c>

00:27:03.950 --> 00:27:07.269
is<00:27:04.190><c> worse</c><00:27:04.849><c> than</c><00:27:06.049><c> the</c><00:27:06.349><c> first.</c>

00:27:09.710 --> 00:27:13.509
So<00:27:10.089><c> certainly</c><00:27:10.390><c> the</c><00:27:10.730><c> destruction</c><00:27:11.329><c> of</c><00:27:11.589><c> the</c><00:27:11.829><c> temple,</c><00:27:12.410><c> the</c><00:27:12.750><c> house,</c>

00:27:13.509 --> 00:27:18.109
in<00:27:14.329><c> A</c><00:27:14.529><c>.D.</c><00:27:14.690><c> 70</c><00:27:15.130><c> was</c><00:27:15.589><c> worse</c><00:27:16.390><c> than</c><00:27:17.009><c> the</c><00:27:17.529><c> destruction</c>

00:27:18.109 --> 00:27:21.690
by<00:27:19.190><c> the</c><00:27:19.509><c> Babylonians</c><00:27:20.269><c> that</c><00:27:20.450><c> they</c><00:27:20.609><c> had</c><00:27:20.869><c> suffered.</c>

00:27:22.269 --> 00:27:24.690
And<00:27:22.529><c> if</c><00:27:22.670><c> you</c><00:27:22.950><c> read</c><00:27:23.210><c> the</c><00:27:23.490><c> account</c><00:27:23.789><c> in</c><00:27:24.029><c> the</c><00:27:24.210><c> history,</c>

00:27:25.089 --> 00:27:29.470
what<00:27:25.390><c> happened</c><00:27:25.730><c> during</c><00:27:25.990><c> that</c><00:27:26.309><c> time</c><00:27:26.549><c> period</c><00:27:26.970><c> by</c><00:27:27.930><c> Josephus,</c>

00:27:30.230 --> 00:27:34.549
there<00:27:30.630><c> is</c><00:27:31.089><c> an</c><00:27:31.549><c> insanity</c><00:27:32.470><c> that</c><00:27:33.210><c> comes</c><00:27:33.450><c> across</c><00:27:33.910><c> the</c><00:27:34.130><c> nation.</c>

00:27:35.029 --> 00:27:41.269
This<00:27:35.369><c> suicidal</c><00:27:36.369><c> insanity</c><00:27:37.609><c> that</c><00:27:40.009><c> overcomes</c><00:27:40.809><c> them,</c>

00:27:41.269 --> 00:27:46.529
that<00:27:41.769><c> drives</c><00:27:42.349><c> them,</c><00:27:44.009><c> that</c><00:27:45.009><c> makes</c><00:27:45.210><c> them</c><00:27:45.450><c> drive</c><00:27:45.829><c> the</c><00:27:46.089><c> Romans</c>

00:27:46.529 --> 00:27:49.869
to<00:27:47.549><c> destroy</c><00:27:48.450><c> the</c><00:27:48.710><c> house.</c>

00:27:51.630 --> 00:27:54.549
And<00:27:51.890><c> so</c><00:27:52.029><c> the</c><00:27:52.170><c> worst</c><00:27:52.390><c> state,</c><00:27:52.930><c> the</c><00:27:53.569><c> last</c><00:27:53.910><c> state</c><00:27:54.069><c> of</c><00:27:54.230><c> that</c><00:27:54.410><c> man</c>

00:27:54.549 --> 00:27:56.109
is<00:27:54.750><c> worse</c><00:27:54.990><c> than</c><00:27:55.130><c> the</c><00:27:55.369><c> first.</c>

00:27:56.250 --> 00:27:57.849
That's<00:27:56.769><c> the</c><00:27:56.950><c> end</c><00:27:57.109><c> of</c><00:27:57.269><c> this</c><00:27:57.490><c> parable.</c>

00:27:58.049 --> 00:28:04.269
Even<00:27:58.509><c> so</c><00:27:59.089><c> shall</c><00:27:59.289><c> it</c><00:27:59.450><c> be</c><00:27:59.710><c> also</c><00:28:00.509><c> unto</c><00:28:01.069><c> this</c><00:28:02.049><c> wicked</c><00:28:02.630><c> generation.</c>

00:28:06.410 --> 00:28:08.069
So<00:28:06.930><c> when</c><00:28:07.089><c> we</c><00:28:07.269><c> look</c><00:28:07.390><c> at</c><00:28:07.509><c> this</c><00:28:07.730><c> parable,</c>

00:28:08.069 --> 00:28:11.289
if<00:28:08.210><c> you</c><00:28:08.470><c> go</c><00:28:08.630><c> back</c><00:28:08.890><c> to</c><00:28:09.049><c> Matthew</c><00:28:09.369><c> chapter</c><00:28:09.769><c> 12,</c>

00:28:14.289 --> 00:28:16.329
let's<00:28:14.490><c> also</c><00:28:14.849><c> look</c><00:28:15.029><c> very</c><00:28:15.470><c> closely</c><00:28:15.910><c> at</c><00:28:16.069><c> the</c><00:28:16.170><c> way</c>

00:28:16.329 --> 00:28:18.609
that<00:28:16.549><c> this</c><00:28:16.990><c> parable</c><00:28:17.450><c> starts.</c>

00:28:20.309 --> 00:28:24.869
He<00:28:20.490><c> says,</c><00:28:20.950><c> when</c><00:28:20.950><c> the</c><00:28:21.289><c> unclean</c><00:28:22.049><c> spirit</c><00:28:22.529><c> is</c><00:28:23.009><c> gone</c><00:28:23.309><c> out</c><00:28:23.630><c> of</c><00:28:23.750><c> a</c><00:28:23.950><c> man.</c>

00:28:25.450 --> 00:28:28.369
That<00:28:25.630><c> term,</c><00:28:26.549><c> unclean</c><00:28:27.190><c> spirit,</c>

00:28:28.569 --> 00:28:30.809
is<00:28:28.710><c> a</c><00:28:28.730><c> very</c><00:28:29.089><c> interesting</c><00:28:29.630><c> way</c><00:28:29.849><c> to</c><00:28:30.309><c> start</c><00:28:30.569><c> that.</c>

00:28:30.849 --> 00:28:34.609
And<00:28:30.990><c> it's</c><00:28:31.329><c> a</c><00:28:31.529><c> phrase</c><00:28:31.710><c> that's</c><00:28:32.109><c> used</c><00:28:32.329><c> quite</c><00:28:32.650><c> often</c><00:28:33.210><c> of</c><00:28:33.549><c> demons.</c>

00:28:35.490 --> 00:28:39.910
When<00:28:36.170><c> you</c><00:28:36.390><c> think</c><00:28:36.630><c> of</c><00:28:39.250><c> evil</c><00:28:39.549><c> spirits,</c>

00:28:40.009 --> 00:28:45.430
we're<00:28:40.130><c> thinking</c><00:28:40.450><c> of</c><00:28:41.650><c> an</c><00:28:41.990><c> attitude</c><00:28:42.490><c> or</c><00:28:42.930><c> a</c><00:28:43.250><c> mind</c><00:28:43.769><c> that</c><00:28:44.269><c> has</c><00:28:44.529><c> been</c><00:28:44.789><c> affected.</c>

00:28:45.569 --> 00:28:47.250
And<00:28:45.650><c> that's</c><00:28:46.009><c> the</c><00:28:46.329><c> idea</c><00:28:46.690><c> behind</c><00:28:47.109><c> it.</c>

00:28:47.289 --> 00:28:51.190
Isn't<00:28:47.450><c> it</c><00:28:47.670><c> this</c><00:28:48.250><c> insanity</c><00:28:48.990><c> that's</c><00:28:49.789><c> come</c><00:28:50.009><c> over</c><00:28:50.329><c> them?</c>

00:28:51.549 --> 00:28:55.190
And<00:28:51.769><c> so</c><00:28:51.869><c> when</c><00:28:52.089><c> somebody</c><00:28:52.430><c> is</c><00:28:52.990><c> healed,</c><00:28:53.650><c> like</c><00:28:53.890><c> the</c><00:28:54.069><c> Gadarene</c><00:28:54.450><c> demoniac,</c>

00:28:55.250 --> 00:28:59.289
he<00:28:55.450><c> is</c><00:28:55.690><c> said</c><00:28:55.809><c> to</c><00:28:55.990><c> be</c><00:28:56.170><c> in</c><00:28:56.329><c> his</c><00:28:57.410><c> right</c><00:28:57.869><c> mind.</c>

00:28:59.970 --> 00:29:02.890
And<00:29:00.210><c> there</c><00:29:00.410><c> is</c><00:29:00.750><c> a</c><00:29:01.230><c> cleansing</c><00:29:01.710><c> that</c><00:29:02.049><c> has</c><00:29:02.410><c> happened.</c>

00:29:02.890 --> 00:29:08.869
So<00:29:03.549><c> the</c><00:29:03.710><c> opposite</c><00:29:04.130><c> of</c><00:29:04.369><c> an</c><00:29:04.690><c> unclean</c><00:29:05.369><c> spirit</c><00:29:06.029><c> would</c><00:29:07.109><c> be</c><00:29:07.349><c> a</c><00:29:07.529><c> Holy</c><00:29:07.789><c> Spirit.</c>

00:29:09.589 --> 00:29:12.089
And<00:29:09.750><c> when</c><00:29:09.849><c> you</c><00:29:10.009><c> think</c><00:29:10.130><c> of</c><00:29:10.250><c> the</c><00:29:10.369><c> word</c><00:29:10.549><c> unclean</c>

00:29:12.089 --> 00:29:14.769
and<00:29:12.569><c> what</c><00:29:12.789><c> that</c><00:29:13.170><c> means</c><00:29:13.690><c> to</c><00:29:14.269><c> a</c><00:29:14.569><c> Jew,</c>

00:29:14.809 --> 00:29:18.009
it<00:29:14.950><c> has</c><00:29:15.930><c> a</c><00:29:16.430><c> significance</c><00:29:17.009><c> behind</c><00:29:17.589><c> it</c>

00:29:18.009 --> 00:29:23.829
in<00:29:18.329><c> the</c><00:29:18.630><c> law</c><00:29:18.890><c> of</c><00:29:19.170><c> what</c><00:29:19.349><c> was</c><00:29:19.710><c> meant</c><00:29:19.849><c> was</c><00:29:20.490><c> unclean</c><00:29:21.970><c> and</c><00:29:22.750><c> clean.</c>

00:29:26.730 --> 00:29:30.670
So<00:29:27.410><c> when</c><00:29:28.089><c> we</c><00:29:28.130><c> as</c><00:29:28.410><c> Christadelphians</c><00:29:29.029><c> also</c><00:29:29.450><c> come</c><00:29:29.630><c> at</c><00:29:29.809><c> this</c><00:29:30.230><c> subject,</c>

00:29:30.670 --> 00:29:35.089
we<00:29:31.069><c> often</c><00:29:31.569><c> say,</c><00:29:32.670><c> well,</c><00:29:32.910><c> Jesus</c><00:29:33.069><c> is</c><00:29:33.309><c> just</c><00:29:33.809><c> accommodating</c>

00:29:35.089 --> 00:29:38.109
some<00:29:35.430><c> of</c><00:29:35.589><c> this</c><00:29:36.089><c> thinking</c><00:29:36.529><c> of</c><00:29:36.990><c> the</c><00:29:37.210><c> day.</c>

00:29:38.650 --> 00:29:42.529
And<00:29:39.250><c> that's</c><00:29:39.849><c> good</c><00:29:40.190><c> enough</c><00:29:40.470><c> to</c><00:29:40.710><c> try</c><00:29:40.849><c> to</c><00:29:41.049><c> get</c><00:29:41.450><c> through</c><00:29:41.730><c> some</c><00:29:42.089><c> of</c>

00:29:42.529 --> 00:29:43.890
the<00:29:43.289><c> ideas,</c>

00:29:43.930 --> 00:29:45.529
the<00:29:44.190><c> false</c><00:29:44.430><c> ideas</c><00:29:44.750><c> behind</c><00:29:45.230><c> demons.</c>

00:29:45.609 --> 00:29:48.289
Jesus<00:29:45.890><c> is</c><00:29:46.150><c> just</c><00:29:46.410><c> accommodating</c><00:29:47.009><c> these</c><00:29:47.289><c> ideas.</c>

00:29:48.470 --> 00:29:51.809
But<00:29:48.750><c> in</c><00:29:48.869><c> my</c><00:29:49.190><c> mind,</c><00:29:49.789><c> Jesus</c><00:29:50.170><c> is</c><00:29:50.410><c> doing</c><00:29:50.569><c> much</c><00:29:50.910><c> more</c><00:29:51.109><c> than</c><00:29:51.390><c> that</c>

00:29:51.809 --> 00:29:56.150
in<00:29:52.009><c> his</c><00:29:52.390><c> parables</c><00:29:53.549><c> and</c><00:29:54.289><c> his</c><00:29:54.869><c> actions.</c>

00:29:56.470 --> 00:29:58.690
And<00:29:56.769><c> we</c><00:29:56.890><c> have</c><00:29:57.069><c> to</c><00:29:57.230><c> dig</c><00:29:57.349><c> a</c><00:29:57.509><c> little</c><00:29:57.769><c> deeper</c><00:29:58.170><c> to</c><00:29:58.410><c> see</c><00:29:58.509><c> that</c>

00:29:58.690 --> 00:30:01.490
he's<00:29:58.829><c> not</c><00:29:58.990><c> just</c><00:29:59.410><c> accommodating,</c><00:30:00.089><c> but</c><00:30:00.269><c> in</c><00:30:00.450><c> the</c><00:30:00.609><c> very</c><00:30:00.950><c> language</c>

00:30:01.490 --> 00:30:02.410
that<00:30:01.769><c> he's</c><00:30:02.069><c> using,</c>

00:30:02.769 --> 00:30:06.210
he's<00:30:03.150><c> drawing</c><00:30:03.390><c> our</c><00:30:03.769><c> minds</c><00:30:04.130><c> back</c><00:30:04.529><c> to</c><00:30:04.710><c> the</c><00:30:04.829><c> Old</c><00:30:05.069><c> Testament.</c>

00:30:07.130 --> 00:30:09.930
And<00:30:07.490><c> he's</c><00:30:07.750><c> actually</c><00:30:08.190><c> trying</c><00:30:08.509><c> to</c><00:30:08.690><c> get</c><00:30:08.789><c> us</c><00:30:09.069><c> to</c><00:30:09.329><c> think</c><00:30:09.509><c> about</c>

00:30:09.930 --> 00:30:14.089
what<00:30:10.250><c> he's</c><00:30:10.490><c> actually</c><00:30:10.930><c> doing</c><00:30:11.210><c> and</c><00:30:11.349><c> how</c><00:30:11.849><c> these</c><00:30:12.289><c> ideas</c><00:30:12.670><c> are</c><00:30:13.009><c> wrong.</c>

00:30:15.769 --> 00:30:17.569
And<00:30:15.970><c> so</c><00:30:16.089><c> this</c><00:30:16.329><c> term</c><00:30:16.589><c> unclean</c><00:30:17.190><c> spirit,</c>

00:30:17.750 --> 00:30:20.529
it<00:30:17.750><c> doesn't</c><00:30:17.970><c> really</c><00:30:18.269><c> come</c><00:30:18.490><c> up</c><00:30:18.650><c> in</c><00:30:18.829><c> the</c><00:30:18.990><c> Old</c><00:30:19.269><c> Testament</c><00:30:19.710><c> per</c><00:30:20.130><c> se</c>

00:30:20.529 --> 00:30:23.450
as<00:30:21.109><c> that</c><00:30:21.490><c> phrase</c><00:30:21.710><c> unclean</c><00:30:22.269><c> spirit</c><00:30:22.650><c> too</c><00:30:23.009><c> often.</c>

00:30:23.890 --> 00:30:25.789
But<00:30:24.170><c> the</c><00:30:24.569><c> concept</c><00:30:25.069><c> is</c><00:30:25.349><c> there.</c>

00:30:25.789 --> 00:30:28.910
I'd<00:30:26.730><c> like</c><00:30:26.829><c> you</c><00:30:27.009><c> to</c><00:30:27.170><c> turn</c><00:30:27.289><c> first</c><00:30:27.589><c> of</c><00:30:27.730><c> all</c><00:30:27.829><c> to</c><00:30:27.950><c> a</c><00:30:28.049><c> really</c><00:30:28.230><c> good</c><00:30:28.490><c> example.</c>

00:30:29.009 --> 00:30:32.289
It's<00:30:29.130><c> in</c><00:30:29.289><c> Ezekiel</c><00:30:29.789><c> chapter</c><00:30:30.549><c> 36.</c>

00:30:41.269 --> 00:30:45.269
So<00:30:41.730><c> Ezekiel</c><00:30:42.329><c> 36</c><00:30:43.009><c> gives</c><00:30:43.269><c> us</c><00:30:43.569><c> this</c><00:30:43.849><c> comparison</c><00:30:44.569><c> between</c>

00:30:45.269 --> 00:30:48.269
an<00:30:46.049><c> unclean</c><00:30:46.670><c> spirit</c><00:30:47.210><c> amongst</c><00:30:47.670><c> the</c><00:30:47.950><c> people</c>

00:30:48.269 --> 00:30:52.089
versus<00:30:49.130><c> what</c><00:30:50.470><c> is</c><00:30:50.750><c> going</c><00:30:50.890><c> to</c><00:30:51.069><c> be</c><00:30:51.190><c> a</c><00:30:51.430><c> new</c><00:30:51.710><c> spirit</c>

00:30:52.089 --> 00:30:54.730
or<00:30:52.490><c> a</c><00:30:52.769><c> clean</c><00:30:53.069><c> spirit</c><00:30:53.630><c> among</c><00:30:53.990><c> the</c><00:30:54.250><c> people.</c>

00:30:54.730 --> 00:30:58.529
For<00:30:55.450><c> this</c><00:30:55.650><c> is</c><00:30:55.930><c> truly</c><00:30:56.170><c> what</c><00:30:56.450><c> Jesus</c><00:30:56.829><c> Christ</c><00:30:57.089><c> was</c><00:30:57.450><c> trying</c><00:30:57.809><c> to</c><00:30:58.230><c> do.</c>

00:30:58.589 --> 00:31:03.329
This<00:30:58.809><c> was</c><00:30:59.109><c> what</c><00:30:59.269><c> he</c><00:30:59.450><c> was</c><00:30:59.690><c> trying</c><00:30:59.869><c> to</c><00:31:00.289><c> accomplish</c><00:31:00.890><c> in</c><00:31:02.009><c> his</c><00:31:02.430><c> time.</c>

00:31:03.490 --> 00:31:06.869
So<00:31:03.630><c> if</c><00:31:03.730><c> you're</c><00:31:03.970><c> with</c><00:31:04.210><c> me</c><00:31:04.369><c> in</c><00:31:04.569><c> Ezekiel</c><00:31:04.990><c> chapter</c><00:31:05.450><c> 36,</c>

00:31:07.250 --> 00:31:10.130
we're<00:31:07.549><c> going</c><00:31:07.609><c> to</c><00:31:07.789><c> start</c><00:31:07.890><c> at</c><00:31:08.089><c> verse</c><00:31:08.670><c> 16.</c>

00:31:24.730 --> 00:31:29.529
Their<00:31:25.049><c> way</c><00:31:25.670><c> was</c><00:31:26.289><c> before</c><00:31:26.710><c> me</c><00:31:27.009><c> as</c><00:31:27.410><c> the</c><00:31:28.069><c> uncleanness</c>

00:31:29.529 --> 00:31:32.089
of<00:31:30.029><c> a</c><00:31:30.369><c> removed</c><00:31:30.730><c> woman,</c>

00:31:32.289 --> 00:31:34.950
wherefore<00:31:32.569><c> I</c><00:31:32.829><c> poured</c><00:31:33.009><c> my</c><00:31:33.390><c> fury</c><00:31:33.589><c> upon</c><00:31:33.910><c> them</c><00:31:34.170><c> for</c><00:31:34.369><c> the</c><00:31:34.609><c> blood</c>

00:31:34.950 --> 00:31:37.329
they<00:31:35.329><c> had</c><00:31:35.650><c> shed</c><00:31:35.849><c> upon</c><00:31:36.150><c> the</c><00:31:36.410><c> land,</c>

00:31:37.650 --> 00:31:43.490
and<00:31:37.990><c> for</c><00:31:38.289><c> their</c><00:31:38.710><c> idols</c><00:31:39.670><c> wherewith</c><00:31:40.430><c> they</c><00:31:40.769><c> had</c><00:31:41.809><c> polluted</c><00:31:42.289><c> it.</c>

00:31:44.529 --> 00:31:47.549
So<00:31:44.970><c> here</c><00:31:45.109><c> we</c><00:31:45.269><c> get</c><00:31:45.349><c> the</c><00:31:45.630><c> introduction</c><00:31:46.309><c> of</c><00:31:46.809><c> a</c><00:31:47.130><c> nation</c>

00:31:47.549 --> 00:31:49.269
that<00:31:47.809><c> was</c><00:31:48.170><c> driven</c><00:31:48.549><c> from</c><00:31:48.809><c> their</c><00:31:49.009><c> land.</c>

00:31:49.329 --> 00:31:52.549
Why?<00:31:49.829><c> Because</c><00:31:50.190><c> they</c><00:31:50.470><c> were</c><00:31:51.009><c> unclean.</c>

00:31:52.549 --> 00:31:57.650
They<00:31:53.690><c> had</c><00:31:54.250><c> the</c><00:31:55.109><c> uncleanness</c><00:31:55.809><c> of</c><00:31:55.990><c> a</c><00:31:56.269><c> removed</c><00:31:56.569><c> woman.</c>

00:31:57.769 --> 00:32:02.210
They<00:31:58.009><c> had</c><00:31:58.569><c> defiled</c><00:31:59.430><c> it</c><00:32:00.049><c> by</c><00:32:00.529><c> their</c><00:32:00.789><c> own</c><00:32:01.150><c> way.</c>

00:32:02.950 --> 00:32:06.990
And<00:32:03.490><c> they</c><00:32:03.829><c> had</c><00:32:04.190><c> polluted</c><00:32:04.529><c> it</c><00:32:05.230><c> by</c><00:32:05.569><c> their</c><00:32:05.990><c> idols.</c>

00:32:07.289 --> 00:32:11.769
So<00:32:07.670><c> here</c><00:32:07.970><c> again</c><00:32:08.190><c> we</c><00:32:08.349><c> have</c><00:32:08.589><c> this</c><00:32:09.130><c> connection</c><00:32:09.829><c> with</c><00:32:10.230><c> their</c><00:32:10.650><c> idolatry</c>

00:32:11.769 --> 00:32:16.470
and<00:32:12.349><c> an</c><00:32:12.750><c> unclean</c><00:32:13.509><c> spirit</c><00:32:14.130><c> or</c><00:32:15.190><c> demonology.</c>

00:32:17.910 --> 00:32:21.470
So<00:32:18.329><c> when</c><00:32:18.549><c> we</c><00:32:18.809><c> come</c><00:32:19.069><c> down</c><00:32:19.529><c> to</c><00:32:19.789><c> verse</c><00:32:20.049><c> 25,</c>

00:32:22.009 --> 00:32:24.170
we<00:32:22.529><c> see</c><00:32:22.769><c> a</c><00:32:23.130><c> change.</c>

00:32:24.369 --> 00:32:26.829
And<00:32:24.589><c> this</c><00:32:24.829><c> is</c><00:32:25.349><c> a</c><00:32:25.569><c> latter</c><00:32:25.789><c>-day</c><00:32:26.049><c> change,</c><00:32:26.529><c> isn't</c><00:32:26.670><c> it?</c>

00:32:26.890 --> 00:32:28.509
We<00:32:27.269><c> find</c><00:32:27.750><c> verse</c><00:32:28.009><c> 24,</c>

00:32:28.609 --> 00:32:31.089
when<00:32:28.650><c> I</c><00:32:28.910><c> take</c><00:32:29.210><c> you</c><00:32:29.430><c> from</c><00:32:29.670><c> among</c><00:32:29.930><c> the</c><00:32:30.210><c> heathen,</c>

00:32:31.170 --> 00:32:33.170
I<00:32:31.529><c> will</c><00:32:31.730><c> gather</c><00:32:31.990><c> you</c><00:32:32.230><c> out</c><00:32:32.369><c> of</c><00:32:32.490><c> all</c><00:32:32.730><c> countries.</c>

00:32:33.210 --> 00:32:34.970
I<00:32:33.349><c> will</c><00:32:33.529><c> bring</c><00:32:33.730><c> you</c><00:32:33.970><c> into</c><00:32:34.190><c> your</c><00:32:34.430><c> own</c><00:32:34.630><c> land.</c>

00:32:35.190 --> 00:32:37.430
What<00:32:35.470><c> is</c><00:32:35.710><c> God</c><00:32:35.970><c> going</c><00:32:36.250><c> to</c><00:32:36.549><c> do?</c>

00:32:38.509 --> 00:32:41.150
I<00:32:38.849><c> will</c><00:32:39.089><c> sprinkle</c><00:32:39.450><c> clean</c><00:32:39.890><c> water</c><00:32:40.309><c> upon</c><00:32:40.609><c> you,</c>

00:32:41.230 --> 00:32:43.930
and<00:32:41.509><c> you</c><00:32:41.730><c> shall</c><00:32:41.950><c> be</c><00:32:42.910><c> clean.</c>

00:32:44.150 --> 00:32:46.769
So<00:32:44.490><c> you're</c><00:32:44.670><c> going</c><00:32:44.670><c> to</c><00:32:44.750><c> be</c><00:32:44.849><c> opposite</c><00:32:45.349><c> of</c><00:32:45.589><c> unclean</c><00:32:45.990><c> is</c><00:32:46.269><c> clean.</c>

00:32:46.769 --> 00:32:48.690
And<00:32:47.069><c> from</c><00:32:47.250><c> all</c><00:32:47.529><c> your</c><00:32:47.930><c> filthiness</c>

00:32:54.970 --> 00:32:57.369
A<00:32:55.230><c> new</c><00:32:55.549><c> heart</c><00:32:55.869><c> also</c><00:32:56.309><c> will</c><00:32:56.490><c> I</c><00:32:56.710><c> give</c><00:32:56.869><c> you,</c>

00:40:51.090 --> 00:40:54.449

your<00:40:57.329><c> thinking</c><00:40:57.550><c> is</c><00:40:57.769><c> wrong</c><00:40:58.010><c> on</c><00:40:58.170><c> this</c><00:40:58.329><c> subject.</c>

00:40:59.670 --> 00:41:02.849

Do<00:41:38.030><c> you</c><00:41:38.030><c> know</c><00:41:38.110><c> where</c><00:41:38.210><c> that's</c><00:41:38.550><c> from?</c>

00:41:40.750 --> 00:41:43.590
It's<00:41:40.969><c> from</c><00:41:41.170><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:41:41.829><c> chapter</c><00:41:42.369><c> 32.</c>

00:41:44.710 --> 00:41:48.030
And<00:41:44.989><c> that</c><00:41:45.309><c> context</c><00:41:45.929><c> is</c><00:41:46.510><c> very</c><00:41:46.909><c> appropriate.</c>

00:41:48.610 --> 00:41:51.489
I'd<00:41:48.789><c> like</c><00:41:48.829><c> you</c><00:41:48.969><c> to</c><00:41:49.130><c> turn</c><00:41:49.250><c> to</c><00:41:49.409><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:41:49.949><c> chapter</c><00:41:50.369><c> 32.</c>

00:41:54.750 --> 00:41:59.590
So<00:41:55.250><c> obviously</c><00:41:55.909><c> in</c><00:41:56.269><c> the</c><00:41:56.489><c> context</c><00:41:57.070><c> of</c><00:41:57.969><c> being</c><00:41:58.369><c> possessed</c><00:41:58.869><c> by</c><00:41:59.210><c> demons,</c>

00:41:59.590 --> 00:42:03.309
he<00:42:00.030><c> calls</c><00:42:00.210><c> them</c><00:42:00.389><c> a</c><00:42:00.710><c> faithless</c><00:42:01.210><c> and</c><00:42:01.570><c> perverse</c><00:42:02.030><c> generation.</c>

00:42:03.449 --> 00:42:08.269
And<00:42:03.750><c> he's</c><00:42:05.230><c> giving</c><00:42:05.690><c> an</c><00:42:06.090><c> echo</c><00:42:06.289><c> and</c><00:42:06.489><c> he's</c><00:42:06.750><c> drawing</c><00:42:07.170><c> their</c><00:42:07.989><c> minds</c>

00:42:08.269 --> 00:42:12.550
and<00:42:08.409><c> our</c><00:42:08.789><c> minds</c><00:42:09.150><c> back</c><00:42:09.530><c> to</c><00:42:09.769><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:42:10.530><c> 32.</c>

00:42:14.510 --> 00:42:16.750
This<00:42:14.929><c> is</c><00:42:15.210><c> a</c><00:42:15.489><c> song</c><00:42:15.889><c> of</c><00:42:16.170><c> Moses</c>

00:42:16.750 --> 00:42:20.769
that<00:42:17.750><c> he</c><00:42:17.969><c> gives</c><00:42:18.269><c> to</c><00:42:18.650><c> the</c><00:42:19.010><c> children</c><00:42:19.449><c> of</c><00:42:19.690><c> Israel.</c>

00:42:21.809 --> 00:42:24.590
And<00:42:22.250><c> I</c><00:42:22.389><c> want</c><00:42:22.489><c> to</c><00:42:22.590><c> just</c><00:42:22.829><c> back</c><00:42:23.050><c> up</c><00:42:23.250><c> into</c><00:42:23.670><c> chapter</c><00:42:24.010><c> 31</c>

00:42:24.590 --> 00:42:26.570
because<00:42:25.070><c> he</c><00:42:25.289><c> gives</c><00:42:25.570><c> in</c><00:42:25.789><c> verse</c><00:42:26.090><c> 29,</c>

00:42:26.570 --> 00:42:31.750
he<00:42:26.710><c> gives</c><00:42:26.889><c> the</c><00:42:27.230><c> reason</c><00:42:27.690><c> why</c><00:42:28.230><c> he's</c><00:42:28.650><c> giving</c><00:42:28.889><c> them</c><00:42:29.590><c> this</c><00:42:30.429><c> song.</c>

00:42:32.170 --> 00:42:34.730
And<00:42:32.309><c> it's</c><00:42:32.429><c> verse</c><00:42:33.170><c> 29.</c>

00:42:58.269 --> 00:43:03.590
So<00:42:58.989><c> this</c><00:42:59.710><c> is</c><00:42:59.949><c> why</c><00:43:00.289><c> Moses</c><00:43:00.849><c> speaks</c><00:43:01.449><c> this</c><00:43:02.150><c> song</c><00:43:02.610><c> in</c><00:43:02.909><c> their</c><00:43:03.210><c> ears</c>

00:43:03.590 --> 00:43:06.869
is<00:43:03.809><c> because</c><00:43:04.190><c> he</c><00:43:04.389><c> knows</c><00:43:04.650><c> that</c><00:43:04.769><c> they're</c><00:43:04.989><c> going</c><00:43:05.150><c> to</c><00:43:05.929><c> corrupt</c><00:43:06.289><c> themselves.</c>

00:43:06.869 --> 00:43:11.070
They're<00:43:07.170><c> going</c><00:43:07.190><c> to</c><00:43:07.389><c> become</c><00:43:07.670><c> unclean</c><00:43:09.269><c> through</c><00:43:09.710><c> their</c><00:43:10.130><c> idolatry.</c>

00:43:13.510 --> 00:43:19.369
So<00:43:13.789><c> as</c><00:43:14.090><c> he</c><00:43:14.429><c> starts</c><00:43:14.710><c> this</c><00:43:15.409><c> song</c><00:43:16.050><c> in</c><00:43:16.389><c> verse</c><00:43:16.690><c> 32,</c><00:43:17.329><c> in</c><00:43:17.530><c> verse</c><00:43:17.889><c> 5,</c>

00:43:19.690 --> 00:43:20.989
he<00:43:19.989><c> says,</c>

00:43:27.230 --> 00:43:33.809
They<00:43:28.190><c> are</c><00:43:29.090><c> a</c><00:43:30.369><c> perverse</c><00:43:30.969><c> and</c><00:43:31.469><c> crooked</c><00:43:31.869><c> generation.</c>

00:43:36.190 --> 00:43:38.550
So<00:43:36.369><c> Moses</c><00:43:36.670><c> is</c><00:43:36.949><c> speaking</c><00:43:37.190><c> about</c><00:43:37.570><c> the</c><00:43:37.989><c> generation</c>

00:43:38.550 --> 00:43:42.050
just<00:43:38.889><c> as</c><00:43:39.170><c> Jesus</c><00:43:39.610><c> often</c><00:43:40.150><c> spoke</c><00:43:40.409><c> about</c><00:43:40.929><c> his</c><00:43:41.510><c> generation.</c>

00:43:42.070 --> 00:43:44.510
He<00:43:42.250><c> calls</c><00:43:42.409><c> them</c><00:43:42.630><c> perverse</c><00:43:43.670><c> and</c><00:43:44.269><c> crooked.</c>

00:43:44.650 --> 00:43:47.090
What<00:43:44.889><c> does</c><00:43:45.550><c> perverse</c><00:43:46.130><c> mean?</c>

00:43:47.550 --> 00:43:56.449
It<00:43:47.750><c> means</c><00:43:48.070><c> to</c><00:43:48.489><c> distort</c><00:43:49.230><c> or</c><00:43:50.409><c> to</c><00:43:50.849><c> twist</c><00:43:51.570><c> or</c><00:43:52.769><c> to</c><00:43:53.190><c> corrupt</c><00:43:53.869><c> the</c><00:43:55.389><c> truth.</c>

00:43:58.570 --> 00:44:00.630
That's<00:43:59.349><c> the</c><00:43:59.489><c> meaning</c><00:43:59.670><c> behind</c><00:44:00.050><c> that</c><00:44:00.349><c> word.</c>

00:44:01.030 --> 00:44:06.690
So<00:44:01.489><c> Moses</c><00:44:01.849><c> is</c><00:44:02.150><c> using</c><00:44:02.349><c> that</c><00:44:02.590><c> in</c><00:44:02.769><c> the</c><00:44:03.030><c> context</c><00:44:03.510><c> here</c><00:44:03.969><c> of</c><00:44:04.590><c> their</c><00:44:05.050><c> idolatry.</c>

00:44:07.030 --> 00:44:11.070
And<00:44:07.809><c> that's</c><00:44:08.170><c> exactly</c><00:44:08.610><c> the</c><00:44:08.889><c> same</c><00:44:09.230><c> reason</c><00:44:09.670><c> that</c><00:44:09.909><c> Jesus</c><00:44:10.289><c> is</c><00:44:10.570><c> using</c><00:44:10.769><c> this</c>

00:44:11.070 --> 00:44:13.789
exact<00:44:11.829><c> same</c><00:44:12.849><c> phrase</c>

00:44:13.789 --> 00:44:16.489
for<00:44:14.630><c> his</c><00:44:15.170><c> generation.</c>

00:44:19.050 --> 00:44:21.369
Moses<00:44:20.010><c> uses</c><00:44:20.429><c> it</c><00:44:20.849><c> also.</c>

00:44:21.849 --> 00:44:27.269
Let's<00:44:22.570><c> just</c><00:44:22.750><c> jump</c><00:44:23.130><c> ahead</c><00:44:23.650><c> in</c><00:44:24.110><c> the</c><00:44:25.469><c> song</c><00:44:26.309><c> here.</c>

00:44:28.750 --> 00:44:31.230
Let's<00:44:29.090><c> look</c><00:44:29.269><c> at</c><00:44:29.429><c> verse</c><00:44:29.909><c> 16.</c>

00:44:32.110 --> 00:44:35.690
They<00:44:32.610><c> provoked</c><00:44:33.130><c> him</c><00:44:33.349><c> to</c><00:44:33.610><c> jealousy</c><00:44:34.030><c> with</c><00:44:34.449><c> strange</c><00:44:35.090><c> gods,</c>

00:44:35.929 --> 00:44:39.550
with<00:44:36.349><c> abominations</c><00:44:37.130><c> provoked</c><00:44:37.829><c> they</c><00:44:38.269><c> him</c><00:44:38.429><c> to</c><00:44:38.610><c> anger.</c>

00:44:39.690 --> 00:44:45.590
They<00:44:40.469><c> sacrificed</c><00:44:41.489><c> unto</c><00:44:42.869><c> devils,</c><00:44:44.230><c> unto</c><00:44:44.530><c> demons.</c>

00:44:46.610 --> 00:44:49.789
Now<00:44:47.289><c> that</c><00:44:47.750><c> is</c><00:44:48.090><c> the</c><00:44:48.289><c> Hebrew</c><00:44:48.550><c> word</c><00:44:48.869><c> shed</c><00:44:49.170><c> there</c><00:44:49.469><c> again,</c>

00:44:49.789 --> 00:44:54.510
and<00:44:49.909><c> that's</c><00:44:50.289><c> the</c><00:44:50.469><c> same</c><00:44:51.170><c> word</c><00:44:51.710><c> used</c><00:44:52.010><c> in</c><00:44:52.269><c> Psalm</c><00:44:52.469><c> 106.</c>

00:44:54.550 --> 00:44:58.929
I<00:44:55.230><c> think</c><00:44:55.409><c> it</c><00:44:55.489><c> was</c><00:44:55.590><c> verse</c><00:44:55.809><c> 35</c><00:44:56.250><c> or</c><00:44:56.369><c> 36</c><00:44:56.949><c> that</c><00:44:57.250><c> we</c><00:44:57.969><c> referenced</c><00:44:58.309><c> earlier</c><00:44:58.769><c> in</c>

00:44:58.929 --> 00:44:59.750
the<00:44:58.989><c> beginning</c><00:44:59.210><c> of</c><00:44:59.349><c> the</c><00:44:59.469><c> chapter</c>

00:44:59.750 --> 00:45:05.369
because<00:45:00.030><c> Psalm</c><00:45:00.469><c> 106</c><00:45:01.349><c> is</c><00:45:01.570><c> really</c><00:45:01.949><c> taken</c><00:45:02.309><c> from</c><00:45:02.690><c> here,</c><00:45:03.690><c> from</c><00:45:04.050><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:45:04.750><c> 32.</c>

00:45:05.489 --> 00:45:10.309
They<00:45:05.989><c> sacrificed</c><00:45:07.030><c> unto</c><00:45:07.570><c> demons</c><00:45:08.130><c> and</c><00:45:08.530><c> not</c><00:45:08.889><c> to</c><00:45:09.329><c> God,</c>

00:45:10.610 --> 00:45:12.130
to<00:45:10.849><c> gods</c><00:45:11.250><c> whom</c><00:45:11.429><c> they</c><00:45:11.650><c> knew</c><00:45:11.849><c> not,</c>

00:45:12.130 --> 00:45:15.610
to<00:45:12.690><c> new</c><00:45:13.130><c> gods</c><00:45:13.429><c> that</c><00:45:13.730><c> came</c><00:45:13.969><c> newly</c><00:45:14.250><c> up,</c><00:45:14.710><c> whom</c><00:45:14.789><c> your</c><00:45:15.090><c> fathers</c>

00:45:15.610 --> 00:45:16.909
feared<00:45:15.989><c> not.</c>

00:45:17.170 --> 00:45:20.329
Of<00:45:17.429><c> the</c><00:45:17.690><c> rock</c><00:45:18.010><c> that</c><00:45:18.389><c> begat</c><00:45:18.789><c> thee,</c><00:45:19.070><c> thou</c><00:45:19.230><c> art</c><00:45:19.550><c> unmindful,</c>

00:45:20.349 --> 00:45:24.289
and<00:45:20.570><c> hast</c><00:45:21.010><c> forgotten</c><00:45:21.789><c> God</c><00:45:22.369><c> that</c><00:45:22.909><c> formed</c><00:45:23.250><c> thee.</c>

00:45:24.409 --> 00:45:27.610
And<00:45:24.670><c> when</c><00:45:24.869><c> God</c><00:45:25.269><c> saw</c><00:45:25.590><c> it,</c><00:45:25.789><c> he</c><00:45:26.170><c> abhorred</c><00:45:26.610><c> them</c><00:45:26.829><c> because</c><00:45:27.230><c> of</c><00:45:27.409><c> the</c>

00:45:27.610 --> 00:45:29.550
provoking<00:45:28.030><c> of</c><00:45:28.230><c> his</c><00:45:28.530><c> sons</c><00:45:28.750><c> and</c><00:45:28.929><c> his</c><00:45:29.210><c> daughters.</c>

00:45:29.829 --> 00:45:33.309
And<00:45:30.130><c> he</c><00:45:30.429><c> said,</c><00:45:31.409><c> I</c><00:45:31.710><c> will</c><00:45:31.909><c> hide</c><00:45:32.210><c> my</c><00:45:32.550><c> face</c><00:45:32.750><c> from</c><00:45:32.969><c> them.</c>

00:45:33.750 --> 00:45:36.110
I<00:45:34.269><c> will</c><00:45:34.550><c> see</c><00:45:34.730><c> what</c><00:45:34.909><c> their</c><00:45:35.190><c> end</c><00:45:35.389><c> shall</c><00:45:35.690><c> be,</c>

00:47:42.949 --> 00:47:47.750
It<00:47:43.230><c> is</c><00:47:43.289><c> because</c><00:47:43.610><c> they</c><00:47:43.750><c> had</c><00:47:44.070><c> incorporated</c><00:47:44.769><c> all</c><00:47:45.269><c> of</c><00:47:45.409><c> these</c><00:47:45.650><c> false</c><00:47:46.090><c> influences</c><00:47:47.170><c> from</c>
