is<00:07:28.399><c> carried</c><00:07:28.699><c> over</c><00:07:29.060><c> into</c><00:07:29.399><c> the</c><00:07:29.519><c> New</c><00:07:29.740><c> Testament.</c>

00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:32.639
That's<00:07:31.600><c> fascinating.</c>

00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.660
Now<00:07:33.980><c> as</c><00:07:34.220><c> this</c><00:07:34.420><c> chapter</c><00:07:34.879><c> of</c><00:07:35.439><c> chapter</c><00:07:35.779><c> 17</c><00:07:36.139><c> develops,</c>

00:07:36.939 --> 00:07:41.360
we<00:07:37.139><c> see</c><00:07:37.319><c> how</c><00:07:37.560><c> God</c><00:07:37.740><c> is</c><00:07:37.939><c> going</c><00:07:38.060><c> to</c><00:07:38.220><c> make</c><00:07:38.420><c> Abraham</c><00:07:38.959><c> a</c><00:07:39.300><c> father</c><00:07:39.579><c> like</c><00:07:39.879><c> himself.</c>

00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:49.720
And<00:07:45.839><c> so</c><00:07:46.019><c> he's</c><00:07:46.339><c> told</c><00:07:46.480><c> to</c><00:07:46.699><c> walk</c><00:07:46.959><c> before</c><00:07:47.399><c> God</c><00:07:47.699><c> and</c><00:07:47.879><c> to</c><00:07:48.019><c> be</c><00:07:48.259><c> perfect.</c>

00:07:51.019 --> 00:07:52.000
And<00:07:51.079><c> in</c><00:07:51.279><c> verse</c><00:07:51.500><c> 2,</c><00:07:51.800><c> he</c><00:07:51.860><c> says,</c>

00:07:52.259 --> 00:07:55.519
I<00:07:52.259><c> will</c><00:07:52.500><c> make</c><00:07:52.740><c> my</c><00:07:53.079><c> covenant</c><00:07:53.360><c> between</c><00:07:53.839><c> me</c><00:07:54.300><c> and</c><00:07:54.600><c> thee.</c>

00:07:55.779 --> 00:07:58.579
Now<00:07:55.899><c> the</c><00:07:56.139><c> covenant</c><00:07:56.360><c> had</c><00:07:56.560><c> already</c><00:07:56.879><c> been</c><00:07:57.180><c> made</c><00:07:57.439><c> in</c><00:07:57.660><c> chapter</c><00:07:57.920><c> 15,</c>

00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:00.740
but<00:07:59.160><c> here</c><00:07:59.399><c> the</c><00:07:59.620><c> word</c><00:07:59.779><c> means</c><00:08:00.060><c> to</c><00:08:00.439><c> give.</c>

00:08:01.220 --> 00:08:03.300
I'm<00:08:01.459><c> going</c><00:08:01.600><c> to</c><00:08:01.839><c> give</c><00:08:02.000><c> you</c><00:08:02.199><c> this</c><00:08:02.439><c> covenant.</c>

00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.439
And<00:08:03.519><c> there</c><00:08:03.639><c> are</c><00:08:03.800><c> three</c><00:08:04.100><c> words</c><00:08:04.459><c> used</c><00:08:04.740><c> of</c><00:08:04.899><c> that</c><00:08:05.139><c> covenant.</c>

00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.699
God<00:08:06.040><c> made</c><00:08:06.339><c> it,</c><00:08:07.879><c> gave</c><00:08:08.120><c> it,</c>

00:08:08.860 --> 00:08:10.759
and<00:08:09.220><c> then</c><00:08:09.420><c> later</c><00:08:09.660><c> on</c><00:08:09.779><c> he's</c><00:08:09.879><c> going</c><00:08:10.019><c> to</c><00:08:10.180><c> talk</c><00:08:10.300><c> about</c>

00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:10.839
you<00:08:10.839><c> shall</c><00:08:10.839><c> be</c><00:08:10.839><c> my</c><00:08:10.839><c> sons</c><00:08:10.839><c> and</c><00:08:10.839><c> daughters,</c>

00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:12.899
making<00:08:11.300><c> it</c><00:08:11.720><c> rise.</c>

00:08:13.819 --> 00:08:16.779
So<00:08:14.120><c> he</c><00:08:14.300><c> gave</c><00:08:14.579><c> it,</c><00:08:15.639><c> he's</c><00:08:15.959><c> making</c><00:08:16.319><c> it,</c>

00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.060
and<00:08:17.199><c> he's</c><00:08:17.339><c> going</c><00:08:17.519><c> to</c><00:08:17.660><c> make</c><00:08:17.839><c> it</c><00:08:18.139><c> rise</c><00:08:18.420><c> with</c><00:08:18.639><c> Abraham.</c>

00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:20.839
He's<00:08:19.600><c> going</c><00:08:19.720><c> to</c><00:08:19.839><c> develop</c><00:08:20.079><c> that</c><00:08:20.399><c> covenant</c>

00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.379
through<00:08:21.360><c> the</c><00:08:21.579><c> birth</c><00:08:21.879><c> of</c><00:08:22.259><c> this</c><00:08:22.579><c> seed.</c>

00:08:24.540 --> 00:08:27.060
Now<00:08:24.720><c> brothers</c><00:08:24.879><c> and</c><00:08:25.139><c> sisters,</c><00:08:25.680><c> here's</c><00:08:26.240><c> a</c><00:08:26.399><c> wonderful</c><00:08:26.759><c> thing.</c>

00:08:27.379 --> 00:08:30.540
You<00:08:27.439><c> know,</c><00:08:28.560><c> keep</c><00:08:28.879><c> your</c><00:08:29.139><c> hand</c><00:08:29.300><c> in</c><00:08:29.560><c> Genesis</c><00:08:29.939><c> 17,</c>

00:08:30.779 --> 00:08:32.539
and<00:08:30.899><c> let's</c><00:08:31.079><c> come</c><00:08:31.360><c> to</c><00:08:31.519><c> Romans</c><00:08:31.879><c> chapter</c><00:08:32.240><c> 4,</c>

00:08:32.580 --> 00:08:34.279
and<00:08:32.720><c> then</c><00:08:32.820><c> we'll</c><00:08:33.000><c> come</c><00:08:33.279><c> back</c><00:08:33.460><c> to</c><00:08:33.600><c> Genesis</c><00:08:33.940><c> 17</c>

00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.340
and<00:08:34.539><c> show</c><00:08:34.799><c> you</c><00:08:35.179><c> what</c><00:08:35.500><c> the</c><00:08:35.679><c> apostle</c><00:08:35.960><c> is</c><00:08:36.240><c> here</c><00:08:36.480><c> saying.</c>

00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.360
Now<00:08:39.679><c> Abraham</c><00:08:40.179><c> is</c><00:08:40.500><c> about</c><00:08:40.759><c> to</c><00:08:40.919><c> be</c><00:08:41.100><c> made</c><00:08:41.679><c> a</c><00:08:42.100><c> father,</c>

but<00:08:45.879><c> no</c><00:08:46.100><c> ordinary</c><00:08:46.500><c> father.</c>

00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.840
And<00:08:52.860><c> so</c><00:08:53.059><c> in</c><00:08:53.440><c> Romans</c><00:08:53.659><c> chapter</c><00:08:54.039><c> 4,</c><00:08:54.539><c> we</c><00:08:54.539><c> read</c><00:08:54.779><c> this.</c>

00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.100
Verse<00:08:58.080><c> 16,</c>

00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:01.220
Therefore<00:08:59.879><c> says</c><00:09:00.159><c> Paul,</c><00:09:00.440><c> it</c><00:09:00.580><c> is</c><00:09:00.779><c> of</c><00:09:01.000><c> faith</c>

00:09:01.220 --> 00:09:03.000
that<00:09:01.340><c> it</c><00:09:01.460><c> might</c><00:09:01.679><c> be</c><00:09:01.840><c> by</c><00:09:02.100><c> grace</c>

00:09:12.100 --> 00:09:14.799
who<00:09:12.279><c> is</c><00:09:12.500><c> the</c><00:09:12.820><c> father</c><00:09:13.179><c> of</c><00:09:13.399><c> us</c><00:09:13.600><c> all.</c>

00:09:15.100 --> 00:09:16.700
You<00:09:15.179><c> know,</c><00:09:15.559><c> Jesus</c><00:09:15.639><c> said</c><00:09:15.879><c> call</c><00:09:16.240><c> no</c><00:09:16.500><c> man</c>

00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:21.340
How<00:09:19.399><c> come</c><00:09:19.620><c> Abraham's</c><00:09:20.120><c> got</c><00:09:20.259><c> that</c><00:09:20.519><c> title?</c>

00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:25.440
You<00:09:22.899><c> see,</c><00:09:23.919><c> but</c><00:09:24.019><c> Paul</c><00:09:24.159><c> says</c><00:09:24.360><c> this.</c>

00:09:25.740 --> 00:09:28.059
As<00:09:25.820><c> it</c><00:09:26.000><c> is</c><00:09:26.200><c> written,</c><00:09:27.200><c> I,</c><00:09:27.399><c> that</c><00:09:27.519><c> is</c><00:09:27.700><c> God,</c>

00:09:31.820 --> 00:09:33.799
So<00:09:32.000><c> God</c><00:09:32.279><c> made</c><00:09:32.559><c> him</c><00:09:32.820><c> a</c><00:09:32.940><c> father,</c>

00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:35.799

00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.220
A<00:09:39.240><c> man</c><00:09:39.399><c> can</c><00:09:39.620><c> be</c><00:09:39.980><c> a</c><00:09:40.220><c> father</c><00:09:40.419><c> of</c><00:09:40.639><c> a</c><00:09:40.759><c> multitude</c>

00:09:47.139 --> 00:09:49.740
Naturally,<00:09:47.860><c> that's</c><00:09:48.179><c> got</c><00:09:48.279><c> to</c><00:09:48.419><c> happen</c><00:09:48.659><c> spiritually.</c>

00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:50.960
And<00:09:50.179><c> here's</c><00:09:50.379><c> the</c><00:09:50.659><c> point.</c>

00:09:51.340 --> 00:09:53.360
Look<00:09:51.500><c> at</c><00:09:51.559><c> those</c><00:09:51.779><c> little</c><00:09:51.980><c> words</c><00:09:52.340><c> here.</c>

And<00:10:07.000><c> so</c><00:10:07.299><c> God</c><00:10:07.580><c> was</c><00:10:07.820><c> to</c><00:10:08.019><c> make</c><00:10:08.200><c> Abraham</c><00:10:08.759><c> a</c><00:10:09.120><c> father</c><00:10:09.600><c> like</c><00:10:10.200><c> himself.</c>

00:10:38.340 --> 00:10:40.720
That<00:10:38.559><c> is,</c><00:10:39.039><c> if</c><00:10:39.240><c> God's</c><00:10:39.740><c> mercy</c><00:10:39.960><c> is</c><00:10:40.200><c> with</c><00:10:40.379><c> us,</c>

00:10:42.740 --> 00:10:44.759
because<00:10:43.200><c> we</c><00:10:43.440><c> can't</c><00:10:43.759><c> be</c><00:10:44.039><c> sure</c><00:10:44.200><c> by</c><00:10:44.559><c> law,</c>

00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.679
If<00:10:46.200><c> God</c><00:10:46.440><c> made</c><00:10:46.639><c> it</c><00:10:46.799><c> by</c><00:10:47.080><c> law,</c><00:10:47.340><c> we'd</c><00:10:47.559><c> all</c><00:10:47.820><c> fail.</c>

00:10:48.940 --> 00:10:51.279
But<00:10:49.139><c> because</c><00:10:49.340><c> it's</c><00:10:49.620><c> by</c><00:10:49.879><c> grace,</c><00:10:50.580><c> it's</c><00:10:51.019><c> sure.</c>

of<00:15:40.179><c> the</c><00:15:40.639><c> rock</c><00:15:41.159><c> that</c><00:15:41.799><c> begat</c><00:15:42.500><c> thee,</c><00:15:43.419><c> thou</c><00:15:43.600><c> art</c><00:15:43.799><c> unmindful.</c>

00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:48.299
So<00:15:45.419><c> a</c><00:15:45.759><c> rock</c><00:15:46.419><c> begets</c><00:15:47.120><c> children.</c>

00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:52.039
And<00:15:49.039><c> in</c><00:15:49.220><c> Isaiah</c><00:15:49.620><c> 51,</c><00:15:51.179><c> the</c><00:15:51.320><c> prophet</c><00:15:51.620><c> says,</c>

00:15:52.539 --> 00:15:55.519
look<00:15:52.659><c> unto</c><00:15:53.080><c> the</c><00:15:53.620><c> rock</c><00:15:54.080><c> from</c><00:15:54.600><c> whence</c><00:15:54.940><c> ye</c><00:15:55.179><c> are</c><00:15:55.340><c> hewn.</c>

00:15:55.700 --> 00:15:57.360
Look<00:15:55.879><c> unto</c><00:15:56.159><c> Abraham.</c>

00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:00.120
And<00:15:58.799><c> here's</c><00:15:59.019><c> God.</c>

00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.519
And<00:16:00.419><c> here's</c><00:16:00.799><c> Abraham</c><00:16:01.259><c> as</c><00:16:02.159><c> rocks</c><00:16:02.740><c> producing</c><00:16:03.500><c> children.</c>

00:16:04.899 --> 00:16:06.720
Now<00:16:05.159><c> rocks</c><00:16:05.559><c> can't</c><00:16:06.200><c> have</c><00:16:06.360><c> children.</c>

00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.279
There's<00:16:07.500><c> no</c><00:16:07.980><c> natural</c><00:16:08.519><c> life</c><00:16:08.919><c> in</c><00:16:09.220><c> rocks.</c>

00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:13.379
But<00:16:11.200><c> brothers</c><00:16:11.419><c> and</c><00:16:11.639><c> sisters,</c><00:16:12.039><c> in</c><00:16:12.200><c> certain</c><00:16:12.460><c> rocks,</c>

00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:15.480
they're<00:16:13.980><c> full</c><00:16:14.200><c> of</c><00:16:14.480><c> character.</c>

00:16:16.259 --> 00:16:19.460
Men<00:16:16.860><c> split</c><00:16:17.240><c> them</c><00:16:17.399><c> and</c><00:16:17.639><c> polish</c><00:16:17.960><c> them.</c>

00:16:19.860 --> 00:16:23.860
And<00:16:20.220><c> they</c><00:16:20.519><c> glean</c><00:16:20.899><c> with</c><00:16:21.679><c> all</c><00:16:21.919><c> the</c><00:16:22.259><c> grains</c><00:16:22.600><c> of</c><00:16:22.799><c> the</c><00:16:23.019><c> minerals,</c>

00:16:25.860 --> 00:16:28.759
into<00:16:26.000><c> that</c><00:16:26.259><c> hard,</c><00:16:26.799><c> brittle</c><00:16:26.940><c> rock,</c><00:16:27.419><c> and</c><00:16:27.559><c> it</c><00:16:27.700><c> comes</c><00:16:27.980><c> up</c><00:16:28.259><c> beautiful.</c>

00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:31.860
No<00:16:29.120><c> natural</c><00:16:29.580><c> life,</c><00:16:30.179><c> but</c><00:16:30.399><c> full</c><00:16:30.620><c> of</c><00:16:30.919><c> character.</c>

00:16:32.779 --> 00:16:36.620
And<00:16:32.960><c> both</c><00:16:33.220><c> God</c><00:16:33.480><c> and</c><00:16:33.679><c> Abraham</c><00:16:34.259><c> are</c><00:16:34.679><c> likened</c><00:16:35.000><c> to</c><00:16:35.259><c> rock</c><00:16:35.639><c>-like</c><00:16:36.059><c> fathers.</c>

00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:39.220
God<00:16:37.240><c> is</c><00:16:37.539><c> able</c><00:16:37.779><c> of</c><00:16:37.980><c> these</c><00:16:38.480><c> stones</c>

00:16:43.220 --> 00:16:45.220
That's<00:16:43.580><c> not</c><00:16:43.820><c> natural</c><00:16:44.220><c> children.</c>

00:16:45.389 --> 00:16:48.120

00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.080
And<00:16:48.480><c> so</c><00:16:48.600><c> in</c><00:16:48.779><c> verse</c><00:16:49.039><c> seven</c><00:16:49.679><c> of</c><00:16:50.139><c> this</c><00:16:50.399><c> chapter,</c><00:16:51.320><c> chapter</c><00:16:51.519><c> 17,</c>

00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.379
God<00:16:52.639><c> said,</c><00:16:53.100><c> I</c><00:16:53.100><c> will</c><00:16:53.340><c> establish</c><00:16:54.159><c> my</c><00:16:54.539><c> covenant.</c>

00:16:57.059 --> 00:17:00.740
Now<00:16:57.200><c> in</c><00:16:57.399><c> Genesis</c><00:16:57.759><c> 15,</c><00:16:58.679><c> God</c><00:16:58.980><c> said,</c><00:16:59.220><c> I</c><00:16:59.340><c> will</c><00:16:59.720><c> cut</c><00:17:00.220><c> a</c><00:17:00.519><c> covenant.</c>

00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:02.759
And<00:17:00.980><c> he</c><00:17:01.179><c> divided</c><00:17:01.539><c> the</c><00:17:01.799><c> pieces.</c>

00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.880

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:10.559
But<00:17:07.359><c> now</c><00:17:07.720><c> here,</c><00:17:08.200><c> this</c><00:17:08.480><c> word</c><00:17:08.859><c> means</c><00:17:09.500><c> to</c><00:17:10.059><c> rise.</c>

00:17:11.059 --> 00:17:12.940

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.759

00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.619
And<00:17:27.299><c> so</c><00:17:27.400><c> there's</c><00:17:27.579><c> gonna</c><00:17:27.720><c> be</c><00:17:28.000><c> covenant</c><00:17:28.279><c> that</c><00:17:28.500><c> will</c><00:17:28.839><c> rise</c>

00:17:30.140 --> 00:17:33.799

And<00:17:35.740><c> I</c><00:17:35.859><c> will</c><00:17:36.059><c> establish</c><00:17:36.460><c> my</c><00:17:36.779><c> covenant</c><00:17:37.039><c> between</c><00:17:37.400><c> me</c><00:17:37.680><c> and</c><00:17:37.859><c> thee</c>

00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:45.319
That's<00:17:43.380><c> different</c><00:17:43.680><c> than</c><00:17:43.819><c> the</c><00:17:43.980><c> law</c><00:17:44.119><c> of</c><00:17:44.319><c> Moses.</c>

And<00:19:30.440><c> here</c><00:19:30.559><c> we</c><00:19:30.740><c> have</c><00:19:30.859><c> all</c><00:19:31.099><c> those</c><00:19:31.359><c> promises</c>

00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.059
Now<00:19:37.160><c> God</c><00:19:37.400><c> is</c><00:19:37.619><c> gonna</c><00:19:37.759><c> give</c><00:19:37.960><c> Abraham</c><00:19:38.539><c> a</c><00:19:39.160><c> token</c><00:19:39.619><c> of</c><00:19:39.940><c> this</c><00:19:40.180><c> covenant.</c>

00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:45.160
And<00:19:42.299><c> that</c><00:19:42.519><c> token</c><00:19:42.859><c> in</c><00:19:43.099><c> verse</c><00:19:43.339><c> 10</c><00:19:43.660><c> is</c><00:19:43.980><c> this.</c>

00:19:45.460 --> 00:19:47.339
This<00:19:45.660><c> is</c><00:19:45.920><c> my</c><00:19:46.180><c> covenant</c><00:19:46.480><c> which</c><00:19:46.700><c> you</c><00:19:46.900><c> shall</c><00:19:47.079><c> keep</c>

00:19:47.339 --> 00:19:50.299

Every<00:19:50.980><c> man</c><00:19:51.440><c> child</c><00:19:51.720><c> among</c><00:19:52.099><c> you</c><00:19:52.980><c> shall</c><00:19:53.460><c> be</c><00:19:54.200><c> circumcised.</c>

00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:57.720
Now<00:19:56.900><c> it's</c><00:19:57.000><c> very</c><00:19:57.279><c> obvious.</c>

00:19:58.059 --> 00:20:00.960
You<00:19:58.160><c> know,</c><00:19:58.779><c> you</c><00:19:59.019><c> can</c><00:19:59.200><c> talk</c><00:19:59.420><c> about</c><00:19:59.779><c> circumcision</c><00:20:00.339><c> all</c><00:20:00.700><c> day.</c>

00:20:04.259 --> 00:20:06.519
Its<00:20:04.500><c> significance</c><00:20:04.920><c> is</c><00:20:05.700><c> many</c><00:20:06.079><c> facets.</c>

00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:07.700
It<00:20:06.900><c> really</c><00:20:07.319><c> is.</c>

00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:10.160
It<00:20:08.319><c> means</c><00:20:08.680><c> a</c><00:20:08.859><c> lot</c><00:20:09.039><c> of</c><00:20:09.279><c> things.</c>

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.160
because<00:20:13.599><c> it's</c><00:20:13.940><c> so</c><00:20:14.319><c> pertinent</c><00:20:14.779><c> to</c><00:20:15.000><c> this</c><00:20:15.220><c> record.</c>

00:20:16.460 --> 00:20:18.299

00:20:18.619 --> 00:20:19.900
God<00:20:18.819><c> said,</c><00:20:19.140><c> Abraham,</c><00:20:19.420><c> now</c><00:20:19.619><c> look,</c>

00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.539
So<00:20:49.220><c> God</c><00:20:49.400><c> was</c><00:20:49.720><c> saying</c><00:20:49.960><c> to</c><00:20:50.059><c> him</c><00:20:50.200><c> in</c><00:20:50.440><c> effect,</c><00:20:50.900><c> not</c><00:20:51.079><c> like</c><00:20:51.619><c> that.</c>

00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:02.000
When<00:20:58.519><c> he</c><00:20:58.920><c> mentions</c><00:20:59.420><c> events</c><00:21:00.200><c> 12</c><00:21:00.980><c> months</c><00:21:01.420><c> apart</c>

He<00:21:05.200><c> said</c><00:21:05.359><c> this.</c>

00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:10.859
And<00:21:06.880><c> so</c><00:21:07.519><c> he</c><00:21:08.420><c> gave</c><00:21:08.700><c> him</c><00:21:08.940><c> the</c><00:21:09.099><c> covenant</c><00:21:09.339><c> of</c><00:21:09.700><c> circumcision</c>

00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:17.940
And<00:21:15.319><c> so</c><00:21:15.920><c> he</c><00:21:16.319><c> gave</c><00:21:16.559><c> him</c><00:21:16.799><c> the</c><00:21:16.920><c> covenant</c><00:21:17.200><c> of</c><00:21:17.559><c> circumcision</c>

00:21:17.940 --> 00:21:20.980
and<00:21:18.279><c> Isaac</c><00:21:18.700><c> was</c><00:21:19.039><c> born,</c><00:21:19.500><c> it's</c><00:21:19.579><c> 12</c><00:21:19.859><c> months</c><00:21:20.079><c> apart.</c>

00:21:21.460 --> 00:21:25.220
Now<00:21:21.859><c> Isaac</c><00:21:22.119><c> was</c><00:21:22.640><c> the</c><00:21:22.900><c> child</c><00:21:23.500><c> of</c><00:21:23.799><c> Abraham</c><00:21:24.259><c> by</c><00:21:24.859><c> nature.</c>

00:21:25.220 --> 00:21:27.299
He<00:21:25.619><c> was</c><00:21:25.960><c> the</c><00:21:26.160><c> child</c><00:21:26.579><c> of</c><00:21:26.980><c> Sarah.</c>

00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:29.160
It<00:21:27.779><c> was</c><00:21:28.079><c> not</c><00:21:28.240><c> born</c><00:21:28.500><c> of</c><00:21:28.700><c> a</c><00:21:28.859><c> virgin.</c>

00:21:29.579 --> 00:21:32.079
It<00:21:29.740><c> was</c><00:21:30.000><c> a</c><00:21:30.140><c> normal</c><00:21:30.460><c> birth,</c><00:21:30.900><c> but</c><00:21:31.019><c> it</c><00:21:31.099><c> was</c><00:21:31.319><c> not</c><00:21:31.480><c> a</c><00:21:31.619><c> normal</c><00:21:31.839><c> birth.</c>

00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:34.279
Those<00:21:32.460><c> two</c><00:21:32.660><c> people</c><00:21:32.859><c> were</c><00:21:33.019><c> too</c><00:21:33.339><c> old.</c>

00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:37.980
And<00:21:36.099><c> had</c><00:21:36.319><c> not</c><00:21:36.579><c> God</c><00:21:36.759><c> come</c><00:21:37.099><c> into</c><00:21:37.220><c> that</c><00:21:37.460><c> situation,</c>

00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:40.339
the<00:21:38.259><c> boy</c><00:21:38.359><c> would</c><00:21:38.680><c> never</c><00:21:38.980><c> have</c><00:21:39.200><c> been</c><00:21:39.440><c> born.</c>

00:21:41.099 --> 00:21:42.460
Certainly<00:21:41.500><c> wasn't</c><00:21:41.779><c> a</c><00:21:41.960><c> virgin</c><00:21:42.259><c> birth,</c>

00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:44.019
but<00:21:42.619><c> it</c><00:21:42.700><c> was</c><00:21:42.900><c> the</c><00:21:43.039><c> nearest</c><00:21:43.319><c> thing</c><00:21:43.599><c> to</c><00:21:43.799><c> it</c>

00:21:44.019 --> 00:21:46.039
in<00:21:44.200><c> the</c><00:21:44.359><c> Old</c><00:21:44.539><c> Testament</c><00:21:44.779><c> you'll</c><00:21:45.019><c> ever</c><00:21:45.259><c> get.</c>

00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:49.980
And<00:21:47.900><c> he</c><00:21:48.019><c> began</c><00:21:48.279><c> Isaac</c><00:21:48.700><c> because</c><00:21:49.119><c> he</c><00:21:49.640><c> gave</c><00:21:49.779><c> him</c>

00:21:49.980 --> 00:21:51.160
the<00:21:50.119><c> covenant</c><00:21:50.319><c> of</c><00:21:50.720><c> circumcision.</c>

00:21:51.339 --> 00:21:54.480
So<00:21:51.579><c> Isaac</c><00:21:51.940><c> was</c><00:21:52.319><c> known</c><00:21:52.519><c> then</c><00:21:52.680><c> as</c><00:21:52.839><c> his</c><00:21:53.180><c> only</c><00:21:53.720><c> begotten</c><00:21:54.259><c> son</c>

00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:56.740
when<00:21:54.700><c> in</c><00:21:54.839><c> literal</c><00:21:55.099><c> fact</c><00:21:55.299><c> he</c><00:21:55.440><c> was</c><00:21:55.680><c> not.</c>

00:21:57.220 --> 00:21:59.779
Because<00:21:57.259><c> Ishmael</c><00:21:57.599><c> was</c><00:21:57.859><c> well</c><00:21:58.059><c> and</c><00:21:58.220><c> truly</c><00:21:58.519><c> 13,</c><00:21:59.099><c> 14</c><00:21:59.519><c> years</c>

00:21:59.779 --> 00:22:02.440
in<00:21:59.900><c> the</c><00:22:00.099><c> world</c><00:22:00.319><c> before</c><00:22:01.000><c> Isaac</c><00:22:01.319><c> was</c><00:22:01.599><c> born.</c>

00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:04.680
And<00:22:03.119><c> so</c><00:22:03.259><c> that's</c><00:22:03.599><c> the</c><00:22:03.700><c> way</c><00:22:03.839><c> the</c><00:22:04.079><c> covenant</c><00:22:04.259><c> was</c><00:22:04.519><c> given.</c>

00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:05.880
Now<00:22:05.140><c> brothers</c><00:22:05.339><c> and</c><00:22:05.640><c> sisters,</c>

00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:08.839
circumcision<00:22:06.519><c> then</c><00:22:06.740><c> became</c><00:22:07.099><c> extremely</c><00:22:07.779><c> important.</c>

00:22:10.059 --> 00:22:12.279
You<00:22:10.200><c> see</c><00:22:10.339><c> there</c><00:22:10.460><c> are</c><00:22:10.579><c> many</c><00:22:10.779><c> things</c><00:22:11.220><c> of</c><00:22:11.400><c> which</c><00:22:11.539><c> it</c><00:22:11.680><c> is</c><00:22:11.759><c> significant.</c>

00:22:12.619 --> 00:22:14.200
Now<00:22:12.759><c> I'm</c><00:22:12.900><c> gonna</c><00:22:13.000><c> show</c><00:22:13.299><c> you</c><00:22:13.680><c> what</c><00:22:14.039><c> happened</c>

00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:15.819
under<00:22:14.420><c> the</c><00:22:14.579><c> law</c><00:22:14.700><c> of</c><00:22:14.940><c> Moses.</c>

00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:18.279
I<00:22:16.740><c> won't</c><00:22:16.900><c> go</c><00:22:17.059><c> into</c><00:22:17.220><c> a</c><00:22:17.259><c> lot</c><00:22:17.420><c> of</c><00:22:17.619><c> detail</c><00:22:17.819><c> about</c><00:22:18.099><c> this,</c>

00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:19.740
but<00:22:18.420><c> I</c><00:22:18.539><c> want</c><00:22:18.619><c> you</c><00:22:18.740><c> to</c><00:22:18.940><c> see</c><00:22:19.140><c> this.</c>

00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:21.819
The<00:22:20.460><c> importance</c><00:22:20.980><c> of</c><00:22:21.319><c> circumcision.</c>

00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:24.059
You<00:22:22.279><c> see</c><00:22:22.359><c> what</c><00:22:22.599><c> happened</c><00:22:22.779><c> was</c><00:22:23.039><c> this.</c>

00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:26.500
The<00:22:24.900><c> law</c><00:22:25.059><c> of</c><00:22:25.359><c> childbirth.</c>

00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:29.579
When<00:22:28.140><c> a</c><00:22:28.279><c> woman</c><00:22:28.599><c> had</c><00:22:29.059><c> a</c><00:22:29.259><c> baby,</c>

00:22:29.819 --> 00:22:31.240
if<00:22:29.980><c> it</c><00:22:30.059><c> was</c><00:22:30.200><c> a</c><00:22:30.299><c> little</c><00:22:30.519><c> baby</c><00:22:30.819><c> girl,</c>

00:22:31.660 --> 00:22:34.779
she<00:22:31.900><c> had</c><00:22:32.119><c> to</c><00:22:32.259><c> undergo</c><00:22:32.799><c> two</c><00:22:33.740><c> periods</c><00:22:34.059><c> of</c><00:22:34.359><c> uncleanness.</c>

00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:37.579
Now<00:22:35.059><c> the</c><00:22:35.220><c> reason</c><00:22:35.500><c> there</c><00:22:35.640><c> was</c><00:22:35.779><c> two</c><00:22:36.099><c> periods</c><00:22:36.339><c> was</c><00:22:36.619><c> this.</c>

00:22:37.660 --> 00:22:40.900
That<00:22:37.819><c> the</c><00:22:38.000><c> first</c><00:22:38.339><c> period</c><00:22:38.680><c> that</c><00:22:38.900><c> woman</c><00:22:39.160><c> would</c><00:22:39.420><c> be</c><00:22:40.480><c> banned</c>

00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:47.660
nor<00:22:45.480><c> could</c><00:22:45.700><c> she</c><00:22:45.980><c> mix</c><00:22:46.259><c> socially</c><00:22:46.680><c> with</c><00:22:46.880><c> her</c><00:22:47.059><c> own</c><00:22:47.279><c> family</c>

00:22:50.059 --> 00:22:51.359
And<00:22:50.299><c> during</c><00:22:50.519><c> the</c><00:22:50.740><c> second</c><00:22:51.019><c> period,</c>

00:22:51.500 --> 00:22:52.740
she<00:22:51.640><c> would</c><00:22:51.819><c> be</c><00:22:52.000><c> allowed</c><00:22:52.160><c> to</c><00:22:52.339><c> go</c><00:22:52.539><c> back</c>

00:22:56.660 --> 00:22:59.079
Now<00:22:56.880><c> that</c><00:22:57.000><c> happened</c><00:22:57.259><c> for</c><00:22:57.500><c> both</c><00:22:57.759><c> boy</c><00:22:57.940><c> and</c><00:22:58.140><c> girl.</c>

00:23:00.059 --> 00:23:02.119
But<00:23:00.220><c> you</c><00:23:00.420><c> see</c><00:23:00.779><c> the</c><00:23:01.039><c> difference.</c>

00:23:02.579 --> 00:23:06.819
For<00:23:02.720><c> the</c><00:23:02.920><c> girl,</c><00:23:03.099><c> she</c><00:23:03.259><c> was</c><00:23:03.539><c> unclean</c><00:23:03.920><c> for</c><00:23:04.180><c> two</c><00:23:05.339><c> weeks,</c>

00:23:07.539 --> 00:23:10.359

making<00:23:11.039><c> a</c><00:23:11.279><c> total</c><00:23:11.480><c> of</c><00:23:11.680><c> 80.</c>

00:23:13.180 --> 00:23:16.819
For<00:23:13.480><c> the</c><00:23:13.700><c> boy,</c><00:23:13.900><c> she's</c><00:23:14.299><c> unclean</c><00:23:14.740><c> for</c><00:23:15.039><c> seven</c><00:23:15.579><c> days,</c>

00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:18.960

00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:24.079
Now<00:23:21.740><c> it</c><00:23:21.920><c> is</c><00:23:22.299><c> normal</c><00:23:22.740><c> in</c><00:23:23.000><c> our</c><00:23:23.180><c> literature,</c>

00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:36.339
I<00:23:34.519><c> don't</c><00:23:34.900><c> believe</c><00:23:35.240><c> that.</c>

00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:39.839
I<00:23:38.799><c> believe.</c>

00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:43.180
The<00:23:40.480><c> truth</c><00:23:40.599><c> of</c><00:23:40.799><c> the</c><00:23:40.900><c> matter</c><00:23:41.059><c> is</c><00:23:41.779><c> the</c><00:23:42.500><c> boy</c>

00:23:43.180 --> 00:23:46.380
is<00:23:44.079><c> half</c><00:23:44.740><c> that</c><00:23:45.160><c> of</c><00:23:45.319><c> the</c><00:23:45.460><c> girl.</c>

00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:49.700
You<00:23:47.140><c> say,</c><00:23:47.859><c> oh,</c><00:23:48.059><c> come</c><00:23:48.279><c> on,</c><00:23:48.980><c> what's</c><00:23:49.279><c> the</c><00:23:49.440><c> difference?</c>

00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:51.779
It's<00:23:50.140><c> an</c><00:23:50.279><c> enormous</c><00:23:50.619><c> difference.</c>

00:23:52.859 --> 00:23:54.859
You<00:23:53.000><c> see,</c><00:23:53.299><c> when</c><00:23:53.460><c> you</c><00:23:53.619><c> go</c><00:23:53.799><c> through</c><00:23:53.980><c> the</c><00:23:54.140><c> law</c><00:23:54.299><c> minutely,</c>

00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:56.200
you'd<00:23:55.259><c> find</c><00:23:55.400><c> that</c><00:23:55.680><c> that</c><00:23:56.000><c> period</c>

00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:59.079
is<00:23:56.420><c> the</c><00:23:56.779><c> normal</c><00:23:57.299><c> period</c><00:23:57.700><c> of</c><00:23:57.980><c> uncleanness.</c>

00:24:01.059 --> 00:24:03.000
That's<00:24:01.539><c> the</c><00:24:01.740><c> normal</c><00:24:02.039><c> one.</c>

00:24:03.900 --> 00:24:05.839
But<00:24:04.000><c> this</c><00:24:04.299><c> boy</c><00:24:04.440><c> is</c><00:24:04.640><c> able</c><00:24:04.839><c> to</c><00:24:05.079><c> harbor.</c>

00:24:07.099 --> 00:24:08.759
Now<00:24:07.299><c> look</c><00:24:07.420><c> at</c><00:24:07.500><c> the</c><00:24:07.579><c> way</c><00:24:07.700><c> it's</c><00:24:08.019><c> put.</c>

00:24:09.380 --> 00:24:12.500
You<00:24:09.579><c> see,</c><00:24:10.019><c> the</c><00:24:10.200><c> boy</c><00:24:10.380><c> is</c><00:24:10.599><c> unclean,</c><00:24:11.019><c> first</c><00:24:11.319><c> of</c><00:24:11.460><c> all,</c><00:24:11.539><c> for</c><00:24:11.779><c> seven</c><00:24:12.079><c> days.</c>

00:24:12.660 --> 00:24:16.279
One,<00:24:13.099><c> two,</c><00:24:13.460><c> three,</c><00:24:13.940><c> four,</c><00:24:14.339><c> five,</c><00:24:14.759><c> six,</c><00:24:15.240><c> seven.</c>

00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:21.599
But<00:24:16.740><c> the</c><00:24:16.940><c> girl's</c><00:24:17.380><c> unclean</c><00:24:17.759><c> for</c><00:24:18.740><c> two</c><00:24:19.839><c> weeks.</c>

00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:23.779
Look<00:24:22.500><c> how</c><00:24:22.640><c> that's</c><00:24:23.079><c> put.</c>

00:24:24.339 --> 00:24:24.839
Why?

00:24:25.259 --> 00:24:28.779
Because<00:24:25.539><c> to</c><00:24:25.779><c> the</c><00:24:25.940><c> Jew,</c><00:24:26.539><c> a</c><00:24:26.660><c> week</c><00:24:26.839><c> was</c><00:24:27.059><c> a</c><00:24:27.319><c> cycle</c><00:24:27.539><c> of</c><00:24:27.859><c> time.</c>

00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:31.799
So<00:24:29.299><c> she</c><00:24:29.480><c> has</c><00:24:29.759><c> two</c><00:24:30.680><c> cycles</c><00:24:31.180><c> of</c><00:24:31.539><c> time.</c>

00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:34.500
And<00:24:32.160><c> what</c><00:24:32.279><c> the</c><00:24:32.460><c> law</c><00:24:32.599><c> is</c><00:24:32.859><c> saying,</c><00:24:33.779><c> being</c><00:24:34.019><c> a</c><00:24:34.259><c> girl,</c>

00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:37.279
she<00:24:34.720><c> would</c><00:24:35.019><c> go</c><00:24:35.339><c> on</c><00:24:35.740><c> being</c><00:24:36.140><c> unclean.</c>

00:24:37.740 --> 00:24:40.019
She<00:24:38.200><c> would</c><00:24:38.359><c> go</c><00:24:38.660><c> on</c><00:24:38.940><c> being</c><00:24:39.259><c> unclean.</c>

00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:41.519
It<00:24:40.539><c> would</c><00:24:40.759><c> never</c><00:24:41.000><c> end.</c>

00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:42.519
Why?

00:24:42.779 --> 00:24:45.339
Because<00:24:43.059><c> she</c><00:24:43.359><c> couldn't</c><00:24:43.720><c> be</c><00:24:44.079><c> circumcised.</c>

00:24:45.819 --> 00:24:47.799
And<00:24:46.500><c> so</c><00:24:46.619><c> the</c><00:24:46.799><c> next</c><00:24:47.019><c> period</c><00:24:47.180><c> of</c><00:24:47.420><c> uncleanness</c>

00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:51.700
is<00:24:47.940><c> the</c><00:24:48.079><c> number</c><00:24:48.299><c> of</c><00:24:48.660><c> men,</c><00:24:49.660><c> six,</c><00:24:50.660><c> six.</c>

00:24:53.859 --> 00:24:57.160
But<00:24:54.099><c> unto</c><00:24:54.400><c> us,</c><00:24:55.140><c> a</c><00:24:55.380><c> child</c><00:24:55.779><c> is</c><00:24:56.279><c> born,</c>

00:24:57.660 --> 00:25:01.019
and<00:24:57.900><c> unto</c><00:24:58.279><c> us,</c><00:24:58.940><c> a</c><00:24:59.240><c> son</c><00:24:59.759><c> is</c><00:25:00.259><c> given.</c>

00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:04.000
And<00:25:01.339><c> he</c><00:25:01.500><c> doesn't</c><00:25:01.759><c> go</c><00:25:02.240><c> around</c><00:25:02.859><c> the</c><00:25:03.160><c> circle.</c>

00:25:04.019 --> 00:25:08.599
It<00:25:04.299><c> counts</c><00:25:04.640><c> off</c><00:25:04.960><c> one,</c><00:25:05.420><c> two,</c><00:25:05.960><c> three,</c><00:25:06.440><c> four,</c><00:25:06.960><c> five,</c><00:25:07.720><c> six,</c><00:25:08.180><c> seven.</c>

00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:12.960
And<00:25:08.799><c> on</c><00:25:09.000><c> the</c><00:25:09.160><c> eighth</c><00:25:09.500><c> day,</c><00:25:10.839><c> he</c><00:25:11.000><c> can</c><00:25:11.180><c> do</c><00:25:11.420><c> something</c><00:25:11.779><c> the</c><00:25:12.059><c> girl</c><00:25:12.240><c> can't.</c>

00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:17.920
And<00:25:13.559><c> the</c><00:25:13.819><c> flesh</c><00:25:14.059><c> is</c><00:25:14.299><c> cut</c><00:25:14.559><c> off</c><00:25:15.299><c> and</c><00:25:16.619><c> brings</c><00:25:16.960><c> to</c><00:25:17.200><c> an</c><00:25:17.359><c> end</c>

00:25:26.299 --> 00:25:30.180
And<00:25:26.519><c> he</c><00:25:26.779><c> was</c><00:25:27.319><c> 33</c><00:25:28.240><c> years</c><00:25:28.799><c> of</c><00:25:29.039><c> age.</c>

00:25:30.819 --> 00:25:33.259
When<00:25:30.940><c> Paul</c><00:25:31.259><c> says</c><00:25:31.519><c> in</c><00:25:31.720><c> Galatians</c><00:25:32.240><c> chapter</c><00:25:32.579><c> six,</c>

00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:42.420
The<00:25:39.799><c> curse</c><00:25:40.079><c> of</c><00:25:40.259><c> the</c><00:25:40.400><c> law,</c><00:25:41.039><c> that</c><00:25:41.319><c> flesh</c><00:25:41.579><c> tried</c><00:25:41.880><c> to</c><00:25:42.059><c> keep</c><00:25:42.240><c> law</c>

We're<00:31:19.380><c> related</c><00:31:19.680><c> to</c><00:31:19.859><c> him</c><00:31:20.000><c> by</c><00:31:20.319><c> character.</c>

00:31:20.980 --> 00:31:22.420

00:31:22.420 --> 00:31:26.440

00:31:26.619 --> 00:31:28.480
It's<00:31:27.119><c> quite</c><00:31:27.359><c> remarkable.</c>

00:31:29.180 --> 00:31:31.440
But<00:31:29.380><c> now</c><00:31:29.599><c> comes</c><00:31:29.900><c> Sarah,</c><00:31:30.539><c> hey?</c>

00:31:42.539 --> 00:31:43.299
You<00:31:42.680><c> know</c><00:31:42.779><c> what</c><00:31:42.839><c> God</c><00:31:43.039><c> did?</c>

00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:48.119
He<00:31:43.720><c> changed</c><00:31:44.039><c> her</c><00:31:44.319><c> name</c><00:31:44.559><c> from</c><00:31:44.799><c> meaning</c><00:31:45.259><c> dominant</c><00:31:46.099><c> or</c><00:31:46.700><c> a</c><00:31:46.819><c> head</c><00:31:47.000><c> person.</c>

00:31:49.140 --> 00:31:51.039
He<00:31:49.640><c> changed</c><00:31:49.859><c> her</c><00:31:50.119><c> name</c><00:31:50.359><c> to</c><00:31:50.720><c> Sarah</c>

00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:56.400
No,<00:31:53.240><c> he</c><00:31:53.339><c> did</c><00:31:53.519><c> it</c><00:31:54.019><c> by</c><00:31:54.740><c> putting</c><00:31:55.079><c> the</c><00:31:55.500><c> fifth</c><00:31:55.980><c> letter</c>

00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:59.059

00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:03.940
And<00:31:59.460><c> they</c><00:31:59.680><c> became</c><00:32:00.140><c> heirs</c><00:32:00.859><c> together</c><00:32:01.539><c> of</c><00:32:02.339><c> the</c><00:32:02.559><c> grace</c><00:32:02.799><c> of</c><00:32:03.059><c> life.</c>

00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:07.259
And<00:32:05.400><c> this</c><00:32:05.500><c> is</c><00:32:05.680><c> how</c><00:32:05.720><c> it</c><00:32:05.799><c> was</c><00:32:05.920><c> all</c><00:32:06.079><c> gonna</c><00:32:06.200><c> be</c><00:32:06.440><c> done.</c>

00:32:07.980 --> 00:32:12.339
Now<00:32:08.220><c> of</c><00:32:08.380><c> course</c><00:32:08.579><c> you</c><00:32:08.819><c> see,</c><00:32:10.119><c> now</c><00:32:10.500><c> the</c><00:32:10.779><c> focus</c><00:32:11.039><c> is</c><00:32:11.259><c> on</c><00:32:11.440><c> Sarah.</c>

00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:15.599
This<00:32:13.259><c> is</c><00:32:13.779><c> really</c><00:32:14.339><c> impossible.</c>

00:32:16.700 --> 00:32:18.759
We're<00:32:17.000><c> gonna</c><00:32:17.119><c> see</c><00:32:17.359><c> that</c><00:32:17.599><c> when</c><00:32:17.700><c> we</c><00:32:17.880><c> come</c><00:32:18.059><c> back</c><00:32:18.259><c> next</c><00:32:18.539><c> time</c>

00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:20.759
brothers<00:32:19.019><c> and</c><00:32:19.299><c> sisters</c><00:32:19.440><c> when</c><00:32:19.819><c> the</c><00:32:20.079><c> angel</c><00:32:20.339><c> comes</c>

00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:24.339
this<00:32:21.140><c> is</c><00:32:22.000><c> really</c><00:32:22.940><c> impossible.</c>

00:32:24.740 --> 00:32:26.980
And<00:32:24.839><c> now</c><00:32:25.119><c> it</c><00:32:25.440><c> calls</c><00:32:25.740><c> for</c><00:32:25.980><c> extraordinary</c><00:32:26.700><c> faith</c>

00:32:26.980 --> 00:32:29.319

00:32:29.539 --> 00:32:30.720
That's<00:32:29.759><c> out</c><00:32:29.859><c> of</c><00:32:29.960><c> the</c><00:32:30.079><c> white</c><00:32:30.259><c> question.</c>

00:32:31.220 --> 00:32:34.819

00:32:35.059 --> 00:32:36.980
I'm<00:32:35.259><c> gonna</c><00:32:35.359><c> give</c><00:32:35.700><c> a</c><00:32:36.000><c> son</c><00:32:36.259><c> from</c><00:32:36.680><c> her.</c>

00:32:37.140 --> 00:32:38.000
She's<00:32:37.539><c> gonna</c><00:32:37.700><c> have</c><00:32:37.819><c> it.</c>

00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:40.380
He's<00:32:38.400><c> gonna</c><00:32:38.500><c> have</c><00:32:38.599><c> the</c><00:32:38.900><c> seed</c><00:32:39.160><c> of</c><00:32:39.440><c> the</c><00:32:39.579><c> woman.</c>

00:32:41.059 --> 00:32:43.059
And<00:32:41.240><c> it's</c><00:32:41.400><c> a</c><00:32:41.519><c> wonderful</c><00:32:41.880><c> story</c><00:32:42.259><c> brothers</c><00:32:42.539><c> and</c><00:32:42.819><c> sisters.</c>

00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:44.619
It's<00:32:43.319><c> the</c><00:32:43.480><c> seed</c><00:32:43.579><c> of</c><00:32:43.720><c> the</c><00:32:43.839><c> woman.</c>

00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:47.740
You<00:32:45.240><c> see</c><00:32:45.359><c> Genesis</c><00:32:45.859><c> when</c><00:32:46.240><c> it</c><00:32:46.480><c> said</c><00:32:46.660><c> the</c><00:32:47.099><c> seed</c><00:32:47.319><c> of</c><00:32:47.440><c> the</c><00:32:47.559><c> woman</c>

would<00:32:48.000><c> come</c>

00:32:48.259 --> 00:32:50.900
we<00:32:48.859><c> pick</c><00:32:49.339><c> it</c><00:32:49.460><c> up</c><00:32:49.579><c> and</c><00:32:49.680><c> we</c><00:32:49.819><c> say</c><00:32:49.960><c> oh</c><00:32:50.240><c> yes,</c><00:32:50.559><c> seed</c><00:32:50.559><c> of</c><00:32:50.680><c> the</c><00:32:50.759><c> woman.</c>

00:32:50.940 --> 00:32:53.059
That<00:32:51.099><c> means</c><00:32:51.420><c> he</c><00:32:51.819><c> would</c><00:32:51.980><c> be</c><00:32:52.220><c> born</c><00:32:52.380><c> of</c><00:32:52.559><c> our</c><00:32:52.740><c> nature.</c>

00:32:53.299 --> 00:32:54.500
He<00:32:53.359><c> would</c><00:32:53.480><c> have</c><00:32:53.599><c> all</c><00:32:53.799><c> our</c><00:32:54.000><c> disabilities.</c>

00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:55.940
He'd<00:32:54.880><c> be</c><00:32:55.079><c> tempted</c><00:32:55.240><c> like</c><00:32:55.480><c> us</c><00:32:55.680><c> we</c><00:32:55.819><c> are.</c>

00:32:56.019 --> 00:32:57.339
And<00:32:56.119><c> that</c><00:32:56.220><c> is</c><00:32:56.500><c> absolutely</c><00:32:57.019><c> true.</c>

00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:00.500

It's<00:33:02.059><c> true</c><00:33:02.420><c> but</c><00:33:02.660><c> it's</c><00:33:02.940><c> not</c><00:33:03.099><c> the</c><00:33:03.420><c> primary</c><00:33:03.980><c> teaching.</c>

00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:05.819
I'll<00:33:05.240><c> prove</c><00:33:05.240><c> it</c><00:33:05.480><c> to</c><00:33:05.579><c> you.</c>

00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:09.539

Question<00:33:36.480><c> is</c><00:33:37.660><c> who</c><00:33:38.259><c> then</c><00:33:38.480><c> will</c><00:33:38.720><c> be</c><00:33:38.960><c> his</c><00:33:39.200><c> father?</c>

00:33:40.019 --> 00:33:41.519
Second<00:33:40.200><c> of</c><00:33:40.359><c> Samuel</c><00:33:40.660><c> chapter</c><00:33:40.980><c> seven.</c>

00:33:41.859 --> 00:33:43.960
God<00:33:41.900><c> says</c><00:33:42.039><c> I</c><00:33:42.380><c> will</c><00:33:42.559><c> be</c><00:33:42.799><c> his</c><00:33:43.160><c> father.</c>

00:33:44.339 --> 00:33:47.819
The<00:33:44.700><c> next</c><00:33:44.980><c> obvious</c><00:33:45.420><c> question</c><00:33:45.799><c> is</c><00:33:46.420><c> how</c><00:33:46.980><c> can</c><00:33:47.220><c> that</c><00:33:47.440><c> happen?</c>

00:33:48.180 --> 00:33:51.680
And<00:33:48.220><c> Isaiah</c><00:33:48.599><c> says</c><00:33:49.099><c> a</c><00:33:49.700><c> virgin</c><00:33:50.220><c> will</c><00:33:50.539><c> conceive.</c>

00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:55.720
Oh,<00:33:52.859><c> what</c><00:33:53.039><c> we</c><00:33:53.279><c> wanna</c><00:33:53.400><c> know</c><00:33:53.619><c> now</c><00:33:54.000><c> is</c><00:33:54.559><c> when</c><00:33:54.940><c> will</c><00:33:55.160><c> that</c><00:33:55.420><c> happen?</c>

00:33:56.099 --> 00:33:58.859
Well<00:33:56.279><c> Paul</c><00:33:56.480><c> says</c><00:33:56.680><c> in</c><00:33:56.880><c> the</c><00:33:57.119><c> fullness</c><00:33:57.400><c> of</c><00:33:57.839><c> time.</c>

00:33:58.900 --> 00:34:04.200
God<00:33:59.619><c> sent</c><00:34:00.299><c> forth</c><00:34:01.160><c> his</c><00:34:02.000><c> son</c><00:34:02.859><c> made</c><00:34:03.619><c> of</c><00:34:03.720><c> a</c><00:34:03.900><c> woman.</c>

00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:05.859
There<00:34:04.819><c> it</c><00:34:05.039><c> is.</c>

00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:10.719
And<00:34:06.480><c> the</c><00:34:06.680><c> last</c><00:34:06.980><c> question</c><00:34:07.420><c> is</c><00:34:08.739><c> why</c><00:34:09.460><c> do</c><00:34:09.760><c> it</c><00:34:09.940><c> that</c><00:34:10.139><c> way?</c>

00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:14.179
Or<00:34:11.199><c> what</c><00:34:11.400><c> the</c><00:34:11.739><c> law</c><00:34:12.099><c> could</c><00:34:12.579><c> not</c><00:34:12.940><c> do.</c>

00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:16.800
In<00:34:14.780><c> that</c><00:34:14.900><c> it</c><00:34:15.000><c> was</c><00:34:15.260><c> weak</c><00:34:15.460><c> through</c><00:34:15.739><c> the</c><00:34:16.000><c> flesh.</c>

00:34:17.579 --> 00:34:22.639
God<00:34:18.139><c> sending</c><00:34:18.699><c> his</c><00:34:19.519><c> son</c><00:34:20.059><c> in</c><00:34:20.659><c> the</c><00:34:21.099><c> sameness</c><00:34:21.619><c> of</c><00:34:21.940><c> sin's</c><00:34:22.440><c> flesh</c>

00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:25.480
and<00:34:23.159><c> because</c><00:34:23.559><c> of</c><00:34:23.860><c> sin</c><00:34:24.059><c> condemned.</c>

00:34:25.659 --> 00:34:29.659
Sin<00:34:26.099><c> in</c><00:34:27.280><c> the</c><00:34:27.559><c> very</c><00:34:27.900><c> flesh</c><00:34:28.179><c> where</c><00:34:28.400><c> it</c><00:34:28.619><c> rained</c><00:34:28.800><c> another.</c>

00:34:30.579 --> 00:34:32.099
So<00:34:30.719><c> there's</c><00:34:30.940><c> the</c><00:34:31.119><c> answer.</c>

00:34:32.300 --> 00:34:33.260
Not<00:34:32.480><c> a</c><00:34:32.639><c> earthly</c><00:34:32.900><c> father.</c>

00:34:33.420 --> 00:34:34.460

00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:34.900
How?

00:34:35.099 --> 00:34:35.760
By<00:34:35.340><c> a</c><00:34:35.539><c> virgin.</c>

00:34:35.980 --> 00:34:36.159

00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:37.800
Why?

00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:40.019
Because<00:34:38.320><c> flesh</c><00:34:38.699><c> can't</c><00:34:39.059><c> do</c><00:34:39.219><c> it.</c>

00:34:40.940 --> 00:34:42.900
Sarah's<00:34:41.460><c> gonna</c><00:34:41.579><c> have</c><00:34:41.739><c> this</c><00:34:42.019><c> child.</c>

00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:45.760

00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:47.519
