00:00:13.339 --> 00:00:15.720
It's<00:00:13.779><c> surprising</c><00:00:14.019><c> that</c><00:00:14.240><c> my</c><00:00:14.400><c> wife</c><00:00:14.599><c> didn't</c><00:00:14.779><c> put</c><00:00:15.000><c> her</c><00:00:15.099><c> hand</c><00:00:15.240><c> up</c>

00:00:16.739 --> 00:00:20.460
I<00:00:16.859><c> always</c><00:00:16.980><c> get</c><00:00:17.800><c> told</c><00:00:18.859><c> at</c><00:00:19.079><c> home</c><00:00:19.239><c> I</c><00:00:19.440><c> speak</c><00:00:19.679><c> too</c><00:00:19.920><c> quickly</c><00:00:20.079><c> and</c><00:00:20.219><c> now</c>

00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:21.940

00:00:21.940 --> 00:00:23.620
who<00:00:22.120><c> don't</c><00:00:22.339><c> speak</c><00:00:22.559><c> English.</c>

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:26.600
It<00:00:25.059><c> makes</c><00:00:25.219><c> it</c><00:00:25.399><c> very</c><00:00:25.620><c> hard.</c>

00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.780

00:00:33.020 --> 00:00:37.119
We<00:00:33.140><c> come</c><00:00:33.320><c> from</c><00:00:33.460><c> New</c><00:00:33.619><c> Zealand,</c><00:00:34.759><c> which</c><00:00:34.920><c> is</c><00:00:35.679><c> much</c><00:00:36.000><c> different.</c>

00:00:38.420 --> 00:00:41.840
Well<00:00:38.820><c> Luke</c><00:00:39.240><c> chapter</c><00:00:39.520><c> 1,</c><00:00:40.439><c> this</c><00:00:40.520><c> is</c><00:00:40.719><c> it.</c>

00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:43.600
It's<00:00:42.539><c> all</c><00:00:42.759><c> happening.</c>

00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.340
That<00:00:44.420><c> which</c><00:00:44.619><c> the</c><00:00:44.899><c> prophets</c><00:00:45.100><c> have</c><00:00:45.280><c> looked</c><00:00:45.500><c> forward</c><00:00:45.799><c> to</c><00:00:45.979><c> for</c><00:00:46.159><c> so</c>

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.679
Here<00:00:48.840><c> it</c><00:00:49.000><c> is,</c><00:00:49.500><c> the</c><00:00:49.659><c> salvation</c><00:00:50.159><c> of</c><00:00:50.420><c> God.</c>

00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:54.359
And<00:00:50.679><c> it's</c><00:00:51.679><c> a</c><00:00:51.840><c> marvellous</c><00:00:52.320><c> story</c><00:00:52.539><c> that</c><00:00:52.679><c> we</c><00:00:52.820><c> come</c><00:00:53.000><c> across,</c><00:00:54.100><c> the</c>

00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.020
story<00:00:54.679><c> of</c><00:00:55.979><c> Mary.</c>

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:01.179
What<00:00:57.399><c> a</c><00:00:58.280><c> delightful</c><00:00:58.280><c> person</c><00:00:58.979><c> Mary</c><00:01:00.140><c> was.</c>

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:03.439
The<00:01:01.759><c> best</c><00:01:02.000><c> in</c><00:01:02.159><c> the</c><00:01:02.359><c> world.</c>

00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.260
I<00:01:06.719><c> guess</c><00:01:06.959><c> if</c><00:01:07.099><c> there</c><00:01:07.219><c> was</c><00:01:07.400><c> a</c><00:01:07.519><c> better</c><00:01:07.640><c> person,</c><00:01:08.719><c> God</c><00:01:08.959><c> would</c><00:01:09.120><c> have</c>

chosen<00:01:09.560><c> her.</c>

00:01:11.140 --> 00:01:13.500
And<00:01:11.260><c> so</c><00:01:11.359><c> it's</c><00:01:11.560><c> a</c><00:01:11.700><c> delight</c><00:01:11.840><c> that</c><00:01:12.019><c> Mary</c><00:01:12.319><c> then</c><00:01:12.640><c> comes</c><00:01:12.920><c> upon</c><00:01:13.260><c> the</c>

00:01:28.939 --> 00:01:36.140

There's<00:01:40.760><c> a</c><00:01:40.879><c> great</c><00:01:41.040><c> contrast</c><00:01:41.760><c> then,</c><00:01:42.299><c> Elizabeth,</c><00:01:43.000><c> the</c><00:01:43.040><c> old</c><00:01:43.280><c> lady,</c><00:01:44.200><c> and</c>

And<00:02:52.900><c> so</c><00:02:53.020><c> we</c><00:02:53.159><c> read</c><00:02:53.280><c> in</c><00:02:53.439><c> verse</c><00:02:53.620><c> 26,</c><00:02:54.379><c> the</c><00:02:54.479><c> angel</c><00:02:55.060><c> Gabriel</c><00:02:55.680><c> was</c>

00:02:56.780 --> 00:03:00.460
sent<00:02:57.719><c> from</c><00:02:59.080><c> God.</c>

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:07.340
When<00:03:03.360><c> Gabriel</c><00:03:03.860><c> spoke</c><00:03:04.240><c> to</c><00:03:04.500><c> Daniel,</c><00:03:04.879><c> he</c><00:03:05.060><c> said,</c><00:03:06.259><c> I</c><00:03:06.259><c> am</c><00:03:06.699><c> Gabriel</c>

00:03:07.340 --> 00:03:12.819
that<00:03:08.280><c> stand</c><00:03:08.939><c> in</c><00:03:09.680><c> the</c><00:03:10.039><c> presence</c><00:03:10.639><c> of</c><00:03:11.539><c> God.</c>

00:03:13.580 --> 00:03:17.300
So<00:03:13.699><c> of</c><00:03:13.840><c> all</c><00:03:14.020><c> the</c><00:03:14.300><c> hosts</c><00:03:14.780><c> and</c><00:03:15.099><c> the</c><00:03:15.280><c> myriad</c><00:03:15.400><c> of</c><00:03:15.680><c> angels,</c><00:03:16.960><c> there</c><00:03:17.080><c> was</c><00:03:17.180><c> a</c>

00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:22.300
very<00:03:17.699><c> special</c><00:03:18.259><c> angel</c><00:03:18.960><c> Gabriel</c><00:03:20.800><c> sent</c>

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:26.740
from<00:03:23.280><c> God</c><00:03:24.099><c> to</c><00:03:25.759><c> Nazareth.</c>

00:03:26.860 --> 00:03:30.180
And<00:03:27.340><c> it</c><00:03:27.659><c> was</c><00:03:27.900><c> as</c><00:03:28.120><c> though</c><00:03:28.219><c> there</c><00:03:28.379><c> was</c><00:03:28.599><c> an</c><00:03:28.840><c> unreality</c><00:03:29.500><c> in</c><00:03:29.819><c> that,</c>

00:03:30.419 --> 00:03:34.460
because<00:03:31.419><c> such</c><00:03:31.900><c> a</c><00:03:32.199><c> contrast</c><00:03:32.780><c> from</c><00:03:33.439><c> God</c>

00:03:35.979 --> 00:03:41.500
to<00:03:36.460><c> that</c><00:03:36.939><c> Galilee</c><00:03:37.560><c> of</c><00:03:37.759><c> the</c><00:03:37.919><c> Gentiles,</c><00:03:40.280><c> to</c><00:03:40.500><c> the</c><00:03:40.620><c> mixed</c><00:03:40.840><c> up</c><00:03:41.080><c> area,</c><00:03:41.400><c> to</c>

00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:43.199
the<00:03:41.740><c> confused</c><00:03:42.240><c> area,</c><00:03:42.620><c> the</c><00:03:42.819><c> area</c><00:03:43.060><c> that</c>

00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.419
was<00:03:43.340><c> in</c><00:03:43.580><c> darkness</c><00:03:43.979><c> unto</c><00:03:44.879><c> Nazareth.</c>

00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:47.159
So<00:03:45.620><c> it's</c><00:03:45.740><c> part</c><00:03:45.840><c> of</c><00:03:45.960><c> the</c><00:03:46.259><c> drama</c><00:03:46.479><c> of</c><00:03:46.659><c> that</c><00:03:46.939><c> story.</c>

00:03:47.340 --> 00:03:51.379
From<00:03:47.639><c> God</c><00:03:47.900><c> up</c><00:03:48.060><c> on</c><00:03:48.259><c> high</c><00:03:48.560><c> to</c><00:03:48.939><c> Nazareth</c><00:03:49.479><c> down</c><00:03:50.000><c> on</c><00:03:50.340><c> below.</c>

00:03:54.020 --> 00:04:03.500
Could<00:03:54.599><c> any</c><00:03:54.860><c> good</c><00:03:55.139><c> thing</c><00:03:56.060><c> come</c><00:03:56.919><c> out</c><00:03:57.379><c> of</c><00:03:58.360><c> Nazareth,</c><00:04:01.780><c> Galilee</c><00:04:02.360><c> of</c>

00:04:03.500 --> 00:04:03.939
the<00:04:03.639><c> Gentiles?</c>

00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:05.979
So<00:04:04.120><c> it's</c><00:04:04.699><c> like</c><00:04:04.900><c> a</c><00:04:05.159><c> fairy</c><00:04:05.379><c> tale,</c><00:04:05.699><c> isn't</c><00:04:05.819><c> it?</c>

00:04:05.979 --> 00:04:07.319
It's<00:04:06.120><c> the</c><00:04:06.360><c> drama</c><00:04:06.560><c> of</c><00:04:06.759><c> that</c><00:04:07.099><c> story.</c>

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.539
Imagine<00:04:07.840><c> there</c><00:04:08.319><c> in</c><00:04:08.639><c> Galilee,</c><00:04:09.419><c> the</c><00:04:09.699><c> light</c><00:04:10.240><c> was</c><00:04:10.680><c> coming,</c><00:04:11.139><c> as</c><00:04:11.300><c> it</c>

00:04:11.539 --> 00:04:15.219
said,<00:04:12.120><c> in</c><00:04:12.400><c> Isaiah</c><00:04:12.900><c> chapter</c><00:04:13.300><c> nine.</c>

00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:20.860
Nazareth<00:04:17.160><c> just</c><00:04:17.500><c> sits</c><00:04:18.079><c> up</c><00:04:19.399><c> in</c><00:04:19.560><c> the</c><00:04:19.740><c> hills,</c><00:04:20.180><c> at</c><00:04:20.259><c> the</c><00:04:20.480><c> start</c><00:04:20.660><c> of</c>

00:04:20.860 --> 00:04:26.000
the<00:04:21.019><c> hills</c><00:04:21.500><c> in</c><00:04:23.360><c> the</c><00:04:23.560><c> area</c><00:04:23.860><c> with</c><00:04:25.459><c> the</c><00:04:25.620><c> Galilean</c>

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.180
hills.

00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:33.899
I've<00:04:32.540><c> got</c><00:04:32.620><c> a</c><00:04:32.699><c> bit</c><00:04:32.759><c> of</c><00:04:32.860><c> a</c><00:04:32.959><c> picture</c><00:04:33.120><c> here,</c><00:04:33.279><c> but</c><00:04:33.379><c> it's</c><00:04:33.500><c> a</c><00:04:33.579><c> bit</c><00:04:33.699><c> hard</c>

00:04:33.899 --> 00:04:35.639
to<00:04:34.079><c> actually</c><00:04:34.480><c> see.</c>

00:04:35.980 --> 00:04:41.300
If<00:04:36.139><c> you</c><00:04:36.300><c> don't</c><00:04:36.500><c> actually</c><00:04:37.000><c> put</c><00:04:37.500><c> the</c><00:04:37.779><c> right</c><00:04:38.839><c> box</c><00:04:39.560><c> on</c><00:04:39.779><c> the</c><00:04:39.939><c> computer,</c><00:04:40.399><c> you</c><00:04:40.620><c> print</c><00:04:40.819><c> out</c><00:04:41.060><c> a</c>

00:04:41.300 --> 00:04:42.199
color<00:04:41.600><c> slide</c>

00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.439
and<00:04:42.759><c> it</c><00:04:42.860><c> comes</c><00:04:43.160><c> out</c><00:04:43.459><c> black</c><00:04:43.660><c> and</c><00:04:43.860><c> white,</c><00:04:44.519><c> and</c><00:04:44.920><c> that's</c><00:04:45.180><c> got</c><00:04:45.259><c> me</c><00:04:45.379><c> a</c>

00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.439
bit<00:04:45.579><c> confused,</c><00:04:46.220><c> that</c><00:04:46.399><c> that</c><00:04:46.860><c> slide</c><00:04:47.060><c> really</c>

00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:48.139
is<00:04:47.660><c> in</c><00:04:47.959><c> color.</c>

00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.680
I<00:04:48.439><c> look</c><00:04:48.600><c> at</c><00:04:48.699><c> it</c><00:04:48.860><c> on</c><00:04:48.980><c> the</c><00:04:49.139><c> screen,</c><00:04:49.339><c> it's</c><00:04:49.560><c> in</c><00:04:49.740><c> color.</c>

00:04:50.699 --> 00:04:53.000
Look<00:04:50.800><c> at</c><00:04:50.939><c> it</c><00:04:51.199><c> on</c><00:04:51.540><c> the</c><00:04:51.800><c> projector</c><00:04:52.040><c> and</c><00:04:52.180><c> look</c><00:04:52.279><c> it</c><00:04:52.339><c> up</c><00:04:52.420><c> on</c><00:04:52.500><c> the</c><00:04:52.620><c> screen,</c><00:04:52.819><c> it's</c><00:04:52.920><c> in</c>

00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:54.199
black<00:04:53.120><c> and</c><00:04:53.279><c> white.</c>

00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.899
There's<00:04:54.819><c> some</c><00:04:55.060><c> reason</c><00:04:55.339><c> that</c><00:04:55.500><c> I</c><00:04:55.600><c> just</c><00:04:55.759><c> don't</c><00:04:55.920><c> understand.</c>

00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.759
But<00:04:57.920><c> anyhow,</c><00:04:58.579><c> Nazareth</c><00:04:58.860><c> is</c><00:04:59.379><c> really,</c><00:04:59.920><c> it's</c><00:05:00.300><c> a</c><00:05:00.459><c> valley.</c>

00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:06.040
Actually,<00:05:01.319><c> if</c><00:05:01.459><c> you</c><00:05:01.540><c> look</c><00:05:01.660><c> over</c><00:05:01.899><c> and</c><00:05:02.220><c> looked</c><00:05:02.360><c> at</c><00:05:02.540><c> the</c><00:05:02.720><c> four,</c><00:05:05.360><c> just</c><00:05:05.759><c> to</c>

00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:07.100
flip<00:05:06.139><c> over</c><00:05:06.379><c> there</c><00:05:06.540><c> for</c><00:05:06.740><c> a</c><00:05:06.839><c> minute,</c>

00:05:07.100 --> 00:05:11.600
it<00:05:07.519><c> says,</c><00:05:09.500><c> and</c><00:05:09.800><c> you</c><00:05:09.899><c> know</c><00:05:10.060><c> the</c><00:05:10.279><c> story,</c><00:05:10.540><c> they</c><00:05:10.560><c> rose</c><00:05:10.779><c> up</c><00:05:10.980><c> and</c><00:05:11.180><c> thrust</c><00:05:11.339><c> them</c><00:05:11.480><c> out</c>

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:12.360
of<00:05:11.680><c> the</c><00:05:11.819><c> city</c><00:05:12.000><c> and</c><00:05:12.259><c> led</c>

00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.639
them<00:05:12.480><c> up</c><00:05:12.620><c> to</c><00:05:12.800><c> the</c><00:05:13.000><c> brow</c><00:05:13.139><c> of</c><00:05:13.459><c> the</c><00:05:13.639><c> hill</c><00:05:14.079><c> where</c><00:05:14.740><c> on</c><00:05:15.120><c> their</c><00:05:15.379><c> city</c>

00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:17.060
was<00:05:15.939><c> built.</c>

00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:19.779
And<00:05:17.740><c> yet,</c><00:05:18.319><c> you</c><00:05:18.399><c> can</c><00:05:18.500><c> see</c><00:05:18.600><c> from</c><00:05:18.699><c> that</c><00:05:18.860><c> picture</c><00:05:19.079><c> that</c><00:05:19.439><c> Nazareth</c>

00:05:19.779 --> 00:05:21.220
is<00:05:20.060><c> in</c><00:05:20.259><c> a</c><00:05:20.399><c> valley.</c>

00:05:22.259 --> 00:05:24.939
The<00:05:22.480><c> answer</c><00:05:22.720><c> to</c><00:05:22.839><c> that</c><00:05:23.000><c> question</c><00:05:23.259><c> is</c><00:05:23.519><c> that</c><00:05:24.100><c> Nazareth</c><00:05:24.439><c> sits</c><00:05:24.680><c> in</c>

00:05:24.939 --> 00:05:27.279
a<00:05:25.100><c> valley</c><00:05:25.459><c> which</c><00:05:25.920><c> really</c><00:05:26.420><c> sits</c><00:05:26.680><c> on</c><00:05:27.040><c> the</c>

00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:28.040
brow<00:05:27.420><c> of</c><00:05:27.620><c> the</c><00:05:27.779><c> hill.</c>

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.319
So<00:05:28.459><c> if</c><00:05:28.579><c> you</c><00:05:28.720><c> could</c><00:05:28.839><c> look</c><00:05:28.980><c> over</c><00:05:29.279><c> the</c><00:05:29.480><c> hills</c><00:05:29.680><c> in</c><00:05:29.839><c> the</c><00:05:29.920><c> distance,</c>

00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.019
you<00:05:30.620><c> would</c><00:05:30.759><c> actually</c><00:05:30.959><c> then</c><00:05:31.240><c> look</c><00:05:31.439><c> down</c>

00:05:32.019 --> 00:05:36.100

Why<00:06:38.860><c> Nazareth?</c>

00:06:41.300 --> 00:06:46.079
Why<00:06:41.779><c> would</c><00:06:42.040><c> Nazareth</c><00:06:42.379><c> be</c><00:06:42.660><c> chosen,</c><00:06:43.240><c> a</c><00:06:43.439><c> little</c><00:06:44.220><c> insignificant</c><00:06:45.040><c> place?</c>

Daphne's<00:22:54.710><c> tried</c><00:22:54.890><c> to</c><00:22:54.970><c> do</c><00:22:55.029><c> that</c><00:22:55.170><c> three</c><00:22:55.430><c> times.</c>

00:22:57.170 --> 00:22:59.970
You<00:22:57.309><c> can</c><00:22:57.529><c> hardly</c><00:22:57.710><c> book</c><00:22:57.890><c> a</c><00:22:58.109><c> wedding</c><00:22:58.470><c> reception</c><00:22:58.930><c> venue</c>

00:23:01.210 --> 00:23:04.549
because<00:23:01.690><c> people</c><00:23:02.170><c> have</c><00:23:02.369><c> got</c><00:23:02.470><c> them</c><00:23:02.670><c> booked</c><00:23:02.849><c> up</c><00:23:03.109><c> two</c><00:23:03.309><c> years</c><00:23:03.549><c> ahead</c>

00:23:05.250 --> 00:23:07.269
because<00:23:05.730><c> of</c><00:23:05.890><c> course</c><00:23:06.029><c> it</c><00:23:06.089><c> doesn't</c><00:23:06.329><c> matter</c><00:23:06.710><c> when</c><00:23:06.890><c> you</c><00:23:07.069><c> actually</c>

00:23:07.269 --> 00:23:08.410
have<00:23:07.390><c> the</c><00:23:07.569><c> ceremony.</c>

00:23:08.710 --> 00:23:10.970
It's<00:23:09.269><c> a</c><00:23:09.390><c> crazy</c><00:23:09.829><c> world,</c><00:23:10.170><c> isn't</c><00:23:10.410><c> it?</c>

00:23:11.230 --> 00:23:14.529
So<00:23:11.410><c> it's</c><00:23:11.490><c> good</c><00:23:11.690><c> that</c><00:23:12.130><c> we</c><00:23:12.269><c> have</c><00:23:12.509><c> excitement</c><00:23:12.970><c> about</c><00:23:14.150><c> them</c><00:23:14.349><c> among</c>

00:23:14.529 --> 00:23:15.509
our<00:23:14.890><c> own</c><00:23:15.109><c> young</c><00:23:15.250><c> people.</c>

00:23:15.869 --> 00:23:17.950
They<00:23:16.089><c> do</c><00:23:16.470><c> the</c><00:23:16.630><c> right</c><00:23:16.869><c> thing.</c>

00:23:18.049 --> 00:23:20.430
They're<00:23:18.369><c> restrained</c><00:23:18.809><c> and</c><00:23:18.970><c> then</c><00:23:19.730><c> they</c><00:23:19.869><c> come</c><00:23:20.029><c> together</c><00:23:20.309><c> at</c>

00:23:20.430 --> 00:23:21.210
that<00:23:20.630><c> particular</c><00:23:20.930><c> time</c>

00:23:21.210 --> 00:23:24.009
of<00:23:21.450><c> joyfulness</c><00:23:21.890><c> and</c><00:23:22.170><c> of</c><00:23:22.210><c> pleasurable</c><00:23:22.630><c> happiness,</c><00:23:23.009><c> etc.</c>

00:23:24.289 --> 00:23:29.450
So<00:23:24.490><c> excitement</c><00:23:25.009><c> about</c><00:23:25.309><c> weddings</c><00:23:25.609><c> is</c><00:23:26.069><c> good,</c><00:23:27.190><c> but</c><00:23:27.750><c> back</c><00:23:28.170><c> to</c><00:23:28.369><c> Mary,</c><00:23:28.609><c> of</c><00:23:28.710><c> course,</c>

00:23:29.829 --> 00:23:32.849
it's<00:23:30.390><c> the</c><00:23:30.529><c> lasting</c><00:23:30.930><c> things</c><00:23:31.349><c> which</c><00:23:32.130><c> are</c><00:23:32.130><c> the</c><00:23:32.309><c> things</c><00:23:32.529><c> which</c>

00:23:32.849 --> 00:23:34.130
affect<00:23:33.049><c> her.</c>

00:23:34.470 --> 00:23:37.009
She<00:23:34.769><c> responds</c><00:23:35.309><c> to</c><00:23:35.490><c> that</c><00:23:35.710><c> not</c><00:23:35.910><c> thinking</c><00:23:36.230><c> about</c><00:23:36.529><c> her</c><00:23:36.690><c> husband,</c>

00:23:37.009 --> 00:23:42.930
but<00:23:37.450><c> thinking</c><00:23:38.029><c> about</c><00:23:38.809><c> the</c><00:23:39.309><c> greatness</c><00:23:39.730><c> of</c><00:23:40.369><c> the</c><00:23:40.630><c> promise</c><00:23:40.990><c> that's</c><00:23:41.430><c> been</c><00:23:41.869><c> shown.</c>

00:23:43.250 --> 00:23:46.690
It's<00:23:43.349><c> like</c><00:23:43.450><c> when</c><00:23:43.609><c> the</c><00:23:43.789><c> angel</c><00:23:43.950><c> comes</c><00:23:44.269><c> in</c><00:23:44.430><c> in</c><00:23:44.589><c> verse</c><00:23:44.910><c> 28,</c>

hail,<00:23:49.890><c> well</c><00:23:50.329><c> I</c><00:23:50.490><c> suppose</c><00:23:50.730><c> the</c><00:23:51.130><c> Catholics</c><00:23:51.289><c> would</c><00:23:51.609><c> say,</c><00:23:53.130><c> hail</c><00:23:53.250><c> Mary.</c>

00:23:55.369 --> 00:24:01.069
I'd<00:23:56.069><c> say</c><00:23:56.769><c> Ave</c><00:23:57.490><c> Maria,</c><00:23:59.529><c> which</c><00:23:59.789><c> is</c><00:23:59.990><c> a</c><00:24:00.089><c> nice</c><00:24:00.369><c> piece</c><00:24:00.589><c> of</c><00:24:00.789><c> music,</c>

00:24:01.170 --> 00:24:04.190
at<00:24:01.170><c> least</c><00:24:01.470><c> the</c><00:24:01.990><c> Schubert</c><00:24:02.230><c> one,</c><00:24:03.369><c> but</c><00:24:03.369><c> unfortunately</c><00:24:03.950><c> it's</c>

00:24:04.190 --> 00:24:04.809
somewhat<00:24:04.349><c> spoiled</c>

00:24:04.809 --> 00:24:09.990
by<00:24:05.130><c> the</c><00:24:05.589><c> connotation</c><00:24:06.450><c> that's</c><00:24:08.529><c> given</c><00:24:08.750><c> to</c><00:24:09.029><c> it.</c>

00:24:10.029 --> 00:24:13.809
That<00:24:10.650><c> connotation</c><00:24:11.150><c> really</c><00:24:11.450><c> is</c><00:24:12.009><c> totally</c><00:24:12.490><c> lacking</c><00:24:13.349><c> in</c><00:24:13.509><c> the</c><00:24:13.690><c> record.</c>

00:24:14.049 --> 00:24:16.630
I<00:24:14.069><c> think</c><00:24:14.210><c> the</c><00:24:14.490><c> interpretation</c><00:24:14.970><c> is</c><00:24:15.210><c> something</c><00:24:15.490><c> like,</c><00:24:15.890><c> and</c><00:24:16.069><c> it's</c><00:24:16.250><c> like</c><00:24:16.349><c> the</c>

00:24:16.630 --> 00:24:18.230
margin<00:24:16.950><c> there,</c>

00:24:19.009 --> 00:24:21.190
where<00:24:19.150><c> it's</c><00:24:19.430><c> got</c><00:24:19.750><c> much</c><00:24:20.109><c> graced.</c>

00:24:22.529 --> 00:24:27.809

00:24:27.809 --> 00:24:33.890
to<00:24:28.769><c> say</c><00:24:29.490><c> that</c><00:24:30.210><c> Mary</c><00:24:30.529><c> then</c><00:24:30.829><c> is</c><00:24:31.130><c> the</c><00:24:31.490><c> source</c><00:24:32.150><c> of</c><00:24:32.609><c> grace.</c>

00:24:34.869 --> 00:24:38.829
So<00:24:35.069><c> you</c><00:24:35.190><c> can</c><00:24:35.490><c> obtain</c><00:24:35.910><c> grace,</c><00:24:37.849><c> which</c><00:24:37.990><c> is</c><00:24:38.170><c> more</c><00:24:38.349><c> than</c><00:24:38.470><c> what</c><00:24:38.569><c> we</c>

00:24:38.829 --> 00:24:40.529
think<00:24:39.130><c> grace</c><00:24:39.430><c> is,</c>

00:24:45.450 --> 00:24:47.410
So<00:24:45.609><c> you</c><00:24:45.750><c> go</c><00:24:45.869><c> through</c><00:24:46.009><c> your</c><00:24:46.210><c> rosary</c><00:24:46.609><c> beads</c><00:24:46.829><c> and</c><00:24:47.089><c> count</c><00:24:47.190><c> your</c>

Totally,<00:24:51.230><c> totally</c><00:24:51.869><c> foreign,</c><00:24:52.670><c> really,</c><00:24:53.329><c> to</c><00:24:53.369><c> what</c><00:24:53.569><c> this</c><00:24:53.890><c> record</c>

00:24:55.609 --> 00:25:00.990
This<00:24:56.269><c> is</c><00:24:56.490><c> a</c><00:24:56.809><c> plain,</c><00:24:57.569><c> straightforward</c><00:24:58.829><c> record,</c><00:24:59.369><c> and</c><00:24:59.390><c> she's</c><00:24:59.829><c> favoured,</c>

00:25:01.349 --> 00:25:02.910
the<00:25:01.630><c> favoured</c><00:25:01.930><c> one.</c>

00:25:03.289 --> 00:25:06.470

00:25:07.450 --> 00:25:12.990
The<00:25:07.650><c> Lord</c><00:25:07.890><c> is</c><00:25:08.170><c> with,</c><00:25:09.829><c> blessed</c><00:25:10.130><c> are</c><00:25:10.549><c> they</c><00:25:10.910><c> among</c><00:25:11.910><c> women.</c>

00:25:13.309 --> 00:25:16.210
Some<00:25:13.589><c> translations,</c><00:25:14.170><c> by</c><00:25:14.390><c> the</c><00:25:14.470><c> way,</c><00:25:14.829><c> omit</c><00:25:15.029><c> that,</c>

00:25:16.609 --> 00:25:18.650
but<00:25:16.730><c> it</c><00:25:16.849><c> doesn't</c><00:25:17.029><c> make</c><00:25:17.230><c> much</c><00:25:17.470><c> difference</c><00:25:17.789><c> because</c><00:25:18.089><c> it</c><00:25:18.329><c> occurs</c>

00:25:18.650 --> 00:25:20.990
in<00:25:18.869><c> verse</c><00:25:19.250><c> 42</c><00:25:20.230><c> anyway,</c>

00:25:21.069 --> 00:25:22.809
so<00:25:21.569><c> it's</c><00:25:22.049><c> okay.</c>

00:25:23.430 --> 00:25:27.569
Her<00:25:24.109><c> reaction</c><00:25:24.589><c> then</c><00:25:24.829><c> in</c><00:25:24.970><c> verse</c><00:25:25.230><c> 29,</c><00:25:26.049><c> when</c><00:25:26.529><c> she</c><00:25:26.769><c> saw</c><00:25:27.069><c> him,</c><00:25:27.450><c> she</c>

was<00:25:27.829><c> troubled.</c>

00:25:28.049 --> 00:25:29.329
Well,<00:25:28.250><c> that's</c><00:25:28.450><c> not</c><00:25:28.650><c> very</c><00:25:28.910><c> surprising.</c>

00:25:29.690 --> 00:25:32.109
She<00:25:29.849><c> was</c><00:25:30.210><c> greatly</c><00:25:30.609><c> distressed.</c>

00:25:33.309 --> 00:25:37.789

Greatly<00:25:38.950><c> troubled.</c>

00:25:41.390 --> 00:25:45.329
She<00:25:41.609><c> didn't</c><00:25:41.829><c> understand,</c><00:25:42.269><c> of</c><00:25:42.390><c> course,</c><00:25:42.809><c> why,</c><00:25:43.890><c> why</c><00:25:44.210><c> her,</c>

00:25:46.490 --> 00:25:50.769
why<00:25:46.769><c> would</c><00:25:47.009><c> she</c><00:25:47.269><c> be</c><00:25:48.049><c> visited</c><00:25:48.470><c> by</c><00:25:49.069><c> this</c><00:25:49.789><c> angel?</c>

00:25:50.890 --> 00:25:54.089
And<00:25:51.490><c> so</c><00:25:51.710><c> she,</c><00:25:52.170><c> in</c><00:25:52.269><c> verse</c><00:25:52.450><c> 29,</c><00:25:52.769><c> it</c><00:25:52.930><c> says</c><00:25:53.029><c> she</c><00:25:53.230><c> was</c><00:25:53.549><c> troubled</c><00:25:53.910><c> at</c>

00:25:54.089 --> 00:25:54.529
his<00:25:54.289><c> saying</c>

00:25:54.529 --> 00:26:01.410
and<00:25:55.450><c> cast</c><00:25:56.009><c> in</c><00:25:56.930><c> her</c><00:25:57.349><c> mind</c><00:25:57.890><c> what</c><00:25:59.369><c> manner</c><00:25:59.670><c> of</c><00:25:59.970><c> salutation</c><00:26:00.750><c> this</c>

00:26:01.410 --> 00:26:02.970
should<00:26:01.690><c> be.</c>

00:26:04.369 --> 00:26:08.349
What<00:26:04.450><c> do</c><00:26:04.549><c> we</c><00:26:04.730><c> imagine</c><00:26:05.650><c> cast</c><00:26:06.930><c> in</c><00:26:07.089><c> her</c><00:26:07.410><c> mind?</c>

00:26:11.049 --> 00:26:15.049
There's<00:26:11.650><c> a</c><00:26:11.769><c> few</c><00:26:11.970><c> references,</c><00:26:12.650><c> isn't</c><00:26:12.809><c> there,</c><00:26:13.069><c> to</c><00:26:13.170><c> Mary</c><00:26:13.529><c> in</c><00:26:14.349><c> her</c><00:26:14.650><c> mind?</c>

00:26:15.490 --> 00:26:16.950
Remember<00:26:15.630><c> what</c><00:26:15.730><c> they</c><00:26:15.990><c> are?</c>

00:26:22.109 --> 00:26:23.710
Whereabouts<00:26:22.710><c> are</c><00:26:22.970><c> they?</c>

00:26:23.970 --> 00:26:25.450
The<00:26:24.109><c> verses,</c><00:26:24.470><c> do</c><00:26:24.650><c> you</c><00:26:24.670><c> know?</c>

00:26:38.410 --> 00:26:39.210
Good.

00:26:39.750 --> 00:26:44.109
Just<00:26:40.349><c> a</c><00:26:40.490><c> few</c><00:26:40.650><c> references</c><00:26:41.009><c> in</c><00:26:41.230><c> this</c><00:26:41.569><c> particular</c><00:26:42.069><c> section</c><00:26:42.509><c> is</c>

00:26:44.109 --> 00:26:45.750
in<00:26:44.309><c> verse</c><00:26:44.509><c> 29.</c>

00:26:45.990 --> 00:26:47.009
Sorry.

00:26:47.670 --> 00:26:49.910
So<00:26:47.809><c> that's</c><00:26:48.089><c> the</c><00:26:48.170><c> one</c><00:26:48.269><c> we've</c><00:26:48.450><c> got,</c><00:26:48.990><c> 129.</c>

00:26:50.150 --> 00:26:53.289
The<00:26:50.390><c> next</c><00:26:50.569><c> one</c><00:26:50.769><c> is</c><00:26:50.910><c> chapter</c><00:26:51.049><c> 2,</c><00:26:51.410><c> verse</c><00:26:51.710><c> 19,</c>

00:26:58.029 --> 00:27:02.369
where<00:26:58.289><c> it</c><00:26:58.430><c> says,</c><00:26:59.269><c> and</c><00:26:59.269><c> Mary</c><00:26:59.710><c> kept</c><00:27:00.670><c> all</c><00:27:00.970><c> these</c><00:27:01.250><c> things,</c>

00:27:03.710 --> 00:27:06.049
and<00:27:04.230><c> she</c><00:27:04.750><c> pondered</c><00:27:05.230><c> them</c><00:27:05.470><c> in</c><00:27:05.609><c> her</c><00:27:05.869><c> heart.</c>

00:27:06.069 --> 00:27:07.670
So<00:27:06.289><c> I</c><00:27:06.289><c> guess</c><00:27:06.410><c> that's</c><00:27:06.630><c> two</c><00:27:06.829><c> things,</c><00:27:07.049><c> isn't</c><00:27:07.230><c> it?</c>

00:27:07.829 --> 00:27:12.750
She<00:27:08.150><c> keeps</c><00:27:08.430><c> them,</c><00:27:09.349><c> and</c><00:27:10.130><c> then</c><00:27:10.269><c> she</c><00:27:10.589><c> ponders</c><00:27:11.009><c> them</c><00:27:11.349><c> in</c><00:27:11.549><c> her</c><00:27:11.809><c> heart.</c>

00:27:13.269 --> 00:27:17.549
And<00:27:14.009><c> then,</c><00:27:15.289><c> without</c><00:27:15.750><c> going</c><00:27:16.009><c> on</c><00:27:16.230><c> to</c><00:27:16.329><c> that</c><00:27:16.470><c> other</c><00:27:16.670><c> incident,</c>

00:27:17.609 --> 00:27:20.990
just<00:27:18.049><c> staying</c><00:27:18.329><c> in</c><00:27:18.529><c> chapter</c><00:27:18.690><c> 2,</c><00:27:19.450><c> verse</c><00:27:19.730><c> 51.</c>

00:27:22.869 --> 00:27:27.789
But<00:27:23.049><c> her</c><00:27:23.309><c> mother</c><00:27:24.190><c> kept</c><00:27:25.089><c> all</c><00:27:25.369><c> these</c><00:27:25.690><c> sayings</c><00:27:26.210><c> in</c><00:27:26.670><c> her</c><00:27:26.930><c> heart.</c>

00:27:29.869 --> 00:27:33.029
So<00:27:30.049><c> there's</c><00:27:30.490><c> a</c><00:27:31.210><c> remarkable</c><00:27:32.289><c> thoughtfulness.</c>

00:27:33.109 --> 00:27:36.430
I've<00:27:33.190><c> just</c><00:27:33.630><c> got</c><00:27:33.730><c> on</c><00:27:33.849><c> the</c><00:27:33.970><c> screen</c><00:27:34.250><c> just</c><00:27:34.630><c> a</c><00:27:34.710><c> few</c><00:27:34.829><c> little</c><00:27:35.849><c> words</c>

00:27:36.430 --> 00:27:41.569
that<00:27:37.369><c> they</c><00:27:37.690><c> say</c><00:27:38.210><c> reflects</c><00:27:39.190><c> the</c><00:27:39.490><c> meaning</c><00:27:39.710><c> of</c><00:27:40.269><c> these</c><00:27:40.869><c> ideas,</c>

00:27:41.569 --> 00:27:42.789
a<00:27:41.970><c> cast</c><00:27:42.170><c> in</c><00:27:42.309><c> her</c><00:27:42.569><c> mind.</c>

00:27:43.210 --> 00:27:45.309
She<00:27:43.650><c> pondered</c><00:27:44.269><c> them</c><00:27:44.470><c> in</c><00:27:44.630><c> the</c><00:27:44.769><c> first</c><00:27:44.990><c> one.</c>

00:27:45.490 --> 00:27:49.190
When<00:27:45.609><c> the</c><00:27:45.750><c> angel</c><00:27:45.990><c> comes,</c><00:27:46.450><c> she</c><00:27:46.609><c> ponders</c><00:27:47.190><c> what's</c><00:27:47.769><c> to</c><00:27:47.950><c> happen.</c>

00:27:49.329 --> 00:27:51.970
Chapter<00:27:49.450><c> 2,</c><00:27:49.730><c> verse</c><00:27:49.990><c> 19,</c><00:27:50.309><c> she</c><00:27:50.690><c> kept</c><00:27:51.210><c> all</c><00:27:51.549><c> these</c><00:27:51.809><c> things.</c>

00:27:52.069 --> 00:27:57.190
It's<00:27:52.509><c> like</c><00:27:52.650><c> retaining</c><00:27:53.109><c> them,</c><00:27:55.109><c> memorizing</c><00:27:55.470><c> them,</c><00:27:55.710><c> if</c><00:27:55.730><c> you</c><00:27:55.910><c> like.</c>

00:27:58.470 --> 00:28:03.490
Pondered<00:27:58.930><c> them</c><00:27:59.150><c> in</c><00:27:59.349><c> her</c><00:27:59.650><c> heart</c><00:28:00.390><c> as</c><00:28:01.490><c> though</c><00:28:01.730><c> she's</c><00:28:03.289><c> linking</c>

00:28:03.490 --> 00:28:04.930
them<00:28:03.730><c> through,</c>

00:28:05.369 --> 00:28:09.509
turning<00:28:05.609><c> them</c><00:28:05.869><c> over,</c><00:28:07.670><c> working</c><00:28:07.890><c> the</c><00:28:08.109><c> whole</c><00:28:08.230><c> things</c><00:28:08.430><c> out.</c>

00:28:09.910 --> 00:28:15.849
Then,<00:28:10.509><c> 2</c><00:28:10.730><c>.51,</c><00:28:13.470><c> as</c><00:28:13.589><c> though</c><00:28:13.730><c> she's</c><00:28:13.970><c> sort</c><00:28:14.029><c> of</c><00:28:14.250><c> watching</c><00:28:14.609><c> carefully,</c>

00:28:15.950 --> 00:28:18.269
and<00:28:16.250><c> she</c><00:28:16.430><c> sees</c><00:28:16.690><c> these</c><00:28:16.970><c> things</c><00:28:17.089><c> happening</c><00:28:17.309><c> before</c><00:28:17.670><c> her</c><00:28:18.049><c> with</c>

00:28:18.269 --> 00:28:19.529
her<00:28:18.569><c> son,</c>

00:28:20.049 --> 00:28:21.789
and<00:28:20.210><c> she's</c><00:28:20.410><c> trying</c><00:28:20.569><c> to</c><00:28:20.710><c> work</c><00:28:20.809><c> it</c><00:28:20.990><c> out,</c>

00:28:22.029 --> 00:28:23.910
and<00:28:22.250><c> watching</c><00:28:22.509><c> carefully</c><00:28:23.170><c> at</c><00:28:23.609><c> what</c><00:28:23.750><c> happens.</c>

00:28:23.950 --> 00:28:26.269
Isn't<00:28:24.130><c> she</c><00:28:24.289><c> a</c><00:28:24.430><c> marvelous</c><00:28:24.730><c> person</c><00:28:25.089><c> like</c><00:28:25.349><c> that?</c>

00:28:26.289 --> 00:28:29.950
You<00:28:26.329><c> know,</c><00:28:27.450><c> reflector,</c><00:28:28.910><c> meditator,</c>

00:28:30.710 --> 00:28:34.490
a<00:28:30.849><c> mind</c><00:28:31.349><c> really</c><00:28:31.690><c> filled</c><00:28:31.950><c> with</c><00:28:32.309><c> the</c><00:28:33.049><c> scriptural</c><00:28:33.509><c> import</c><00:28:33.910><c> of</c>

00:28:34.490 --> 00:28:35.630
what's<00:28:34.849><c> happening.</c>

00:28:36.009 --> 00:28:37.930
A<00:28:36.589><c> great</c><00:28:36.789><c> woman</c><00:28:37.430><c> married.</c>

00:28:37.990 --> 00:28:40.930
The<00:28:38.130><c> best</c><00:28:38.549><c> ready</c><00:28:38.970><c> there</c><00:28:39.809><c> was,</c>

00:28:43.549 --> 00:28:47.250
All<00:28:43.769><c> that</c><00:28:43.990><c> from</c><00:28:44.210><c> a</c><00:28:44.690><c> girl</c><00:28:44.890><c> who's</c><00:28:45.130><c> just</c><00:28:45.410><c> about</c><00:28:45.609><c> to</c><00:28:45.730><c> be</c><00:28:45.950><c> married,</c>

00:28:47.569 --> 00:28:50.230
an<00:28:47.650><c> amazing</c><00:28:48.130><c> maturity</c><00:28:48.650><c> in</c><00:28:48.890><c> her</c><00:28:49.170><c> mind.</c>

00:28:53.349 --> 00:28:55.410
Wonder<00:28:53.930><c> what</c><00:28:54.509><c> she</c><00:28:54.829><c> really</c><00:28:55.089><c> thought.</c>

00:28:55.869 --> 00:29:02.630
In<00:28:55.990><c> chapter</c><00:28:56.190><c> 1,</c><00:28:56.589><c> in</c><00:28:56.710><c> verse</c><00:28:56.970><c> 29,</c><00:28:59.170><c> she</c><00:29:00.250><c> cast</c><00:29:00.710><c> in</c><00:29:01.009><c> her</c><00:29:01.450><c> mind</c>

what<00:29:03.430><c> manner</c><00:29:03.849><c> of</c><00:29:04.250><c> salutation</c><00:29:05.089><c> this</c><00:29:06.829><c> should</c><00:29:07.069><c> be.</c>

00:29:08.589 --> 00:29:11.069
Now,<00:29:09.029><c> of</c><00:29:09.269><c> course,</c><00:29:09.329><c> the</c><00:29:09.430><c> chances</c><00:29:09.750><c> are</c><00:29:10.089><c> that</c><00:29:10.410><c> events</c><00:29:10.650><c> occurred</c>

00:29:11.069 --> 00:29:11.930
so<00:29:11.589><c> quickly</c>

00:29:11.930 --> 00:29:15.589
that<00:29:13.029><c> there</c><00:29:13.509><c> wasn't</c><00:29:13.769><c> much</c><00:29:14.150><c> time</c><00:29:14.369><c> to</c><00:29:14.490><c> do</c><00:29:14.569><c> a</c><00:29:14.569><c> lot</c><00:29:14.710><c> of</c><00:29:14.910><c> thinking,</c>

00:29:47.990 --> 00:29:51.869

00:29:53.309 --> 00:29:59.430
Could<00:29:53.789><c> Mary</c><00:29:54.130><c> possibly</c><00:29:54.589><c> have</c><00:29:54.910><c> thought</c><00:29:55.450><c> that</c><00:29:57.349><c> she</c><00:29:57.789><c> might</c><00:29:58.069><c> be</c><00:29:58.410><c> involved</c>

00:30:09.130 --> 00:30:11.289
I<00:30:09.190><c> mean,</c><00:30:09.650><c> she</c><00:30:09.809><c> at</c><00:30:09.910><c> least</c><00:30:10.049><c> was</c><00:30:10.289><c> the</c><00:30:10.509><c> right</c><00:30:10.730><c> generation,</c>

00:30:11.309 --> 00:30:13.710
and<00:30:11.430><c> if</c><00:30:11.609><c> they</c><00:30:11.930><c> thought</c><00:30:12.150><c> that</c><00:30:12.349><c> that</c><00:30:12.529><c> was</c><00:30:12.730><c> the</c><00:30:12.950><c> time</c><00:30:13.150><c> of</c><00:30:13.289><c> the</c><00:30:13.410><c> birth</c><00:30:13.549><c> of</c>

00:30:13.710 --> 00:30:13.950
the<00:30:13.809><c> Lord,</c>

00:30:14.069 --> 00:30:16.369
or<00:30:14.109><c> she</c><00:30:14.470><c> was</c><00:30:14.710><c> the</c><00:30:14.910><c> right</c><00:30:15.150><c> age,</c>

00:30:16.549 --> 00:30:21.369
there<00:30:17.230><c> weren't</c><00:30:17.549><c> many</c><00:30:17.970><c> direct</c><00:30:18.329><c> descendants</c><00:30:18.990><c> of</c><00:30:20.369><c> David,</c>

and<00:30:21.990><c> she</c><00:30:22.230><c> was</c><00:30:23.170><c> one</c><00:30:23.630><c> of</c><00:30:23.769><c> them.</c>

00:30:26.849 --> 00:30:29.509
It<00:30:27.009><c> seems</c><00:30:27.289><c> like</c><00:30:27.650><c> she</c><00:30:27.809><c> had</c><00:30:28.089><c> no</c><00:30:28.509><c> brothers.</c>

00:30:29.549 --> 00:30:32.170
We<00:30:29.650><c> only</c><00:30:29.869><c> say</c><00:30:30.069><c> that</c><00:30:30.269><c> because,</c><00:30:30.910><c> remember,</c><00:30:31.569><c> John,</c>

00:30:32.529 --> 00:30:36.650
the<00:30:32.789><c> crucifixion</c><00:30:33.450><c> is</c><00:30:33.910><c> given</c><00:30:34.490><c> in</c><00:30:34.789><c> charge</c><00:30:35.450><c> of</c><00:30:35.769><c> Mary,</c>

00:30:36.730 --> 00:30:38.710
not<00:30:36.950><c> any</c><00:30:37.210><c> other</c><00:30:37.430><c> relations,</c>

00:30:39.230 --> 00:30:43.390
and<00:30:39.910><c> she</c><00:30:40.109><c> was</c><00:30:40.369><c> espoused</c><00:30:40.849><c> to</c><00:30:41.170><c> another</c><00:30:41.410><c> person</c><00:30:41.910><c> who</c><00:30:42.190><c> was</c><00:30:42.509><c> actually</c><00:30:42.910><c> in</c><00:30:43.190><c> the</c>

Kingly<00:30:43.670><c> line.</c>

00:30:43.930 --> 00:30:46.269
So<00:30:44.230><c> it</c><00:30:44.650><c> was</c><00:30:44.930><c> really</c><00:30:45.150><c> a</c><00:30:45.369><c> remarkable</c><00:30:45.710><c> circumstance,</c>

00:30:46.410 --> 00:30:48.630
and<00:30:46.509><c> maybe</c><00:30:46.809><c> they</c><00:30:47.049><c> had,</c><00:30:47.630><c> maybe</c><00:30:48.049><c> they</c><00:30:48.250><c> hadn't,</c>

00:30:48.769 --> 00:30:51.029
maybe<00:30:49.049><c> they</c><00:30:49.250><c> had</c><00:30:49.569><c> thought</c><00:30:49.829><c> about</c><00:30:50.109><c> that</c><00:30:50.349><c> situation,</c>

00:30:51.410 --> 00:30:53.029
but<00:30:51.549><c> I</c><00:30:51.670><c> guess</c><00:30:52.109><c> never,</c><00:30:52.730><c> of</c><00:30:52.809><c> course,</c>

00:30:53.130 --> 00:30:56.549

00:30:56.990 --> 00:30:59.170
Never,<00:30:57.529><c> because,</c><00:30:58.470><c> verse</c><00:30:58.670><c> 34,</c>

00:30:59.349 --> 00:31:02.190

00:31:02.390 --> 00:31:06.569
But<00:31:02.529><c> they</c><00:31:02.789><c> may</c><00:31:03.029><c> have</c><00:31:03.230><c> thought</c><00:31:03.410><c> there</c><00:31:03.650><c> may</c><00:31:04.009><c> have</c><00:31:04.230><c> been</c><00:31:04.869><c> some</c><00:31:05.710><c> involvement.</c>

00:31:06.589 --> 00:31:07.789
Possibly,<00:31:07.190><c> possibly</c><00:31:07.549><c> not.</c>

00:31:08.009 --> 00:31:10.549
But<00:31:08.190><c> anyhow,</c><00:31:09.950><c> whatever</c><00:31:10.089><c> it</c><00:31:10.269><c> was,</c>

00:31:13.890 --> 00:31:15.529
There<00:31:13.930><c> was</c><00:31:14.170><c> something</c><00:31:14.569><c> ticking,</c>

00:31:15.730 --> 00:31:19.589
something<00:31:16.269><c> great</c><00:31:16.730><c> really</c><00:31:17.009><c> going</c><00:31:17.230><c> on</c><00:31:17.789><c> with</c><00:31:18.210><c> that.</c>

00:31:19.809 --> 00:31:22.309
Verse<00:31:19.910><c> 30,</c><00:31:20.349><c> then,</c><00:31:20.670><c> Gabriel</c><00:31:20.990><c> says,</c>

Fear<00:31:23.230><c> not,</c><00:31:23.569><c> Mary,</c><00:31:25.650><c> for</c><00:31:25.849><c> thou</c><00:31:25.990><c> hast</c><00:31:26.170><c> found</c><00:31:27.230><c> favour</c><00:31:27.970><c> with</c><00:31:29.750><c> God.</c>

00:31:43.829 --> 00:31:48.170

00:31:48.170 --> 00:31:50.150
because<00:31:48.410><c> he</c><00:31:48.529><c> said</c><00:31:48.690><c> fear</c><00:31:48.950><c> not</c><00:31:49.069><c> to</c><00:31:49.329><c> Daniel.</c>

00:32:08.650 --> 00:32:12.450
And,<00:32:08.750><c> behold,</c><00:32:09.130><c> thou</c><00:32:09.289><c> shalt</c><00:32:09.589><c> conceive</c><00:32:10.650><c> in</c><00:32:11.250><c> thy</c><00:32:11.470><c> womb.</c>

00:32:14.690 --> 00:32:18.210
There's<00:32:15.329><c> no</c><00:32:15.509><c> mention,</c><00:32:15.930><c> of</c><00:32:15.950><c> course,</c><00:32:16.289><c> of</c><00:32:17.049><c> any</c><00:32:17.309><c> man.</c>

00:32:18.250 --> 00:32:23.190
That's<00:32:18.730><c> the</c><00:32:18.890><c> point</c><00:32:19.009><c> that</c><00:32:19.569><c> Mary</c><00:32:19.910><c> immediately</c><00:32:20.950><c> then</c><00:32:22.089><c> picks</c><00:32:22.309><c> up.</c>

00:32:23.349 --> 00:32:25.309
But<00:32:23.410><c> who</c><00:32:23.609><c> would</c><00:32:23.750><c> it</c><00:32:23.849><c> be</c><00:32:23.930><c> as</c><00:32:24.170><c> father,</c><00:32:24.569><c> then?</c>

00:32:25.670 --> 00:32:27.670
Thou<00:32:25.750><c> shalt</c><00:32:25.930><c> conceive</c><00:32:26.470><c> in</c><00:32:26.670><c> thy</c><00:32:26.869><c> womb</c><00:32:27.009><c> and</c><00:32:27.170><c> bring</c><00:32:27.269><c> forth</c><00:32:27.450><c> a</c><00:32:27.569><c> son.</c>

00:33:20.849 --> 00:33:22.150
Thou<00:33:20.849><c> shalt</c><00:33:21.009><c> conceive</c><00:33:21.390><c> in</c><00:33:21.549><c> thy</c><00:33:21.730><c> womb.</c>

00:33:22.490 --> 00:33:26.450
A<00:33:22.650><c> virgin</c><00:33:22.910><c> shall</c><00:33:23.170><c> conceive,</c><00:33:24.250><c> bring</c><00:33:24.390><c> forth</c><00:33:24.529><c> a</c><00:33:24.809><c> son,</c><00:33:25.690><c> bear</c><00:33:25.849><c> a</c><00:33:26.049><c> son,</c>

00:33:26.809 --> 00:33:28.309

00:33:28.309 --> 00:33:32.809
Yah<00:33:28.809><c> shall</c><00:33:28.890><c> call</c><00:33:29.130><c> his</c><00:33:29.450><c> name</c><00:33:29.970><c> Jesus</c><00:33:30.670><c> or</c><00:33:32.069><c> Immanuel,</c>

00:33:32.990 --> 00:33:34.630

00:33:34.690 --> 00:33:37.809
So<00:33:34.789><c> there's</c><00:33:35.009><c> a</c><00:33:35.150><c> very</c><00:33:35.509><c> direct,</c><00:33:35.950><c> direct</c><00:33:36.529><c> cross</c><00:33:37.029><c>-linkages</c>

00:33:37.809 --> 00:33:42.309
between<00:33:38.650><c> Luke</c><00:33:39.069><c> 1</c><00:33:39.650><c> and</c><00:33:40.470><c> Isaiah</c><00:33:40.789><c> 7.</c>

00:33:42.630 --> 00:33:47.829
You'll<00:33:42.829><c> actually</c><00:33:43.069><c> remember</c><00:33:43.410><c> that</c><00:33:43.890><c> Matthew</c><00:33:44.250><c> 1</c><00:33:44.650><c> quotes</c><00:33:45.009><c> Luke</c><00:33:45.269><c> 7</c><00:33:46.450><c> verbatim,</c>

00:33:48.130 --> 00:33:54.309
but<00:33:48.269><c> Luke</c><00:33:48.529><c> 1</c><00:33:49.349><c> then</c><00:33:50.990><c> strings</c><00:33:51.369><c> together</c><00:33:52.049><c> the</c><00:33:52.470><c> ideas</c><00:33:52.930><c> of</c><00:33:53.789><c> Isaiah</c>

chapter<00:33:54.710><c> 7.</c>

00:33:56.769 --> 00:33:59.450
And<00:33:56.869><c> so</c><00:33:56.970><c> he</c><00:33:57.089><c> shall</c><00:33:57.230><c> be</c><00:33:57.569><c> great</c><00:33:57.890><c> in</c><00:33:58.109><c> verse</c><00:33:58.349><c> 32.</c>

00:34:01.670 --> 00:34:03.569
He'd<00:34:02.089><c> used</c><00:34:02.210><c> those</c><00:34:02.529><c> words</c><00:34:02.750><c> of</c><00:34:02.890><c> John</c><00:34:03.109><c> the</c><00:34:03.230><c> Baptist,</c>

00:34:03.569 --> 00:34:07.390
but<00:34:03.930><c> Gabriel</c><00:34:04.690><c> then</c><00:34:05.309><c> uses</c><00:34:05.549><c> them</c><00:34:06.289><c> in</c><00:34:06.589><c> a</c><00:34:06.730><c> greater</c><00:34:06.930><c> sense</c><00:34:07.170><c> of</c><00:34:07.329><c> the</c>

00:34:07.390 --> 00:34:08.230
Lord<00:34:07.549><c> Jesus</c><00:34:07.809><c> Christ.</c>

00:34:08.230 --> 00:34:14.050
He<00:34:08.289><c> shall</c><00:34:08.469><c> be</c><00:34:08.789><c> great</c><00:34:09.309><c> and</c><00:34:10.170><c> shall</c><00:34:10.409><c> be</c><00:34:10.769><c> called</c><00:34:11.190><c> the</c><00:34:11.969><c> Son</c><00:34:12.250><c> of</c><00:34:12.389><c> the</c><00:34:12.650><c> Highest.</c>

00:34:14.550 --> 00:34:17.750
And<00:34:14.630><c> the</c><00:34:14.889><c> Lord</c><00:34:15.389><c> God</c><00:34:15.769><c> shall</c><00:34:16.030><c> give</c><00:34:16.250><c> unto</c><00:34:16.409><c> him</c><00:34:16.610><c> the</c><00:34:17.010><c> throne</c><00:34:17.389><c> of</c>

00:34:17.750 --> 00:34:19.289
his<00:34:17.929><c> father</c><00:34:18.250><c> David.</c>

00:34:19.389 --> 00:34:24.929
It's<00:34:19.590><c> going</c><00:34:19.670><c> to</c><00:34:19.829><c> be</c><00:34:20.349><c> the</c><00:34:20.849><c> Lord</c><00:34:21.409><c> God</c><00:34:22.230><c> who</c><00:34:23.349><c> would</c><00:34:23.610><c> give</c><00:34:23.710><c> him</c><00:34:23.869><c> that</c><00:34:24.130><c> throne.</c>

00:34:25.349 --> 00:34:26.110
Now<00:34:25.510><c> it's</c><00:34:25.690><c> interesting.</c>

00:34:26.230 --> 00:34:28.710
Come<00:34:26.449><c> back</c><00:34:26.710><c> to</c><00:34:27.530><c> 2</c><00:34:27.809><c> Samuel</c><00:34:28.170><c> chapter</c><00:34:28.510><c> 7.</c>

00:34:28.730 --> 00:34:31.230
This<00:34:28.849><c> is</c><00:34:29.050><c> quite</c><00:34:29.550><c> fascinating,</c><00:34:30.570><c> really.</c>

00:34:31.730 --> 00:34:36.789
It's<00:34:32.289><c> the</c><00:34:32.469><c> Lord</c><00:34:33.070><c> God</c><00:34:34.010><c> shall</c><00:34:34.550><c> give</c><00:34:34.769><c> him</c><00:34:35.030><c> the</c><00:34:35.409><c> throne</c><00:34:35.989><c> of</c><00:34:36.550><c> his</c>

00:34:40.130 --> 00:34:42.610
You<00:34:40.690><c> know</c><00:34:40.889><c> that's</c><00:34:41.210><c> like</c><00:34:41.369><c> the</c><00:34:41.610><c> expression,</c>

00:34:51.730 --> 00:34:53.210
Not<00:34:52.010><c> a</c><00:34:52.110><c> very</c><00:34:52.349><c> common</c><00:34:52.630><c> expression.</c>

00:34:53.610 --> 00:34:56.030
It's<00:34:53.789><c> not</c><00:34:53.909><c> used</c><00:34:54.170><c> very</c><00:34:54.530><c> much</c><00:34:54.829><c> in</c><00:34:55.389><c> the</c><00:34:55.510><c> Old</c><00:34:55.690><c> Testament,</c>

00:36:05.909 --> 00:36:07.570
Interesting<00:36:06.469><c> connection.</c>

00:36:11.929 --> 00:36:13.530
Unusual<00:36:12.429><c> phrase.</c>

00:36:14.010 --> 00:36:19.150
The<00:36:14.110><c> Lord</c><00:36:14.489><c> God</c><00:36:15.349><c> shall</c><00:36:16.010><c> give</c><00:36:16.210><c> unto</c><00:36:16.489><c> him</c><00:36:16.969><c> the</c><00:36:17.550><c> throne</c><00:36:18.289><c> of</c><00:36:18.869><c> his</c>

father,<00:36:21.030><c> David.</c>

00:36:22.070 --> 00:36:22.929
Amazing,<00:36:22.829><c> isn't</c><00:36:22.849><c> it?</c>

00:36:22.929 --> 00:36:27.409
The<00:36:23.050><c> way</c><00:36:23.590><c> the</c><00:36:23.849><c> scripture</c><00:36:24.210><c> connects</c><00:36:25.150><c> with</c><00:36:25.969><c> all</c><00:36:26.150><c> those</c><00:36:26.429><c> things.</c>

00:36:29.170 --> 00:36:30.690
It's<00:36:29.329><c> also,</c><00:36:29.590><c> of</c><00:36:29.730><c> course,</c><00:36:30.690><c> said,</c>

00:36:31.190 --> 00:36:34.530
He's<00:36:31.309><c> the</c><00:36:31.690><c> son</c><00:36:32.590><c> of</c><00:36:33.250><c> the</c><00:36:33.469><c> highest.</c>

00:36:37.050 --> 00:36:38.750
The<00:36:37.289><c> most</c><00:36:37.590><c> high</c><00:36:37.829><c> God.</c>

00:36:39.929 --> 00:36:41.550
When<00:36:40.090><c> was</c><00:36:40.210><c> that</c><00:36:40.469><c> first</c><00:36:40.750><c> used?</c>

00:36:43.230 --> 00:36:44.170
Who<00:36:43.550><c> said</c><00:36:43.769><c> that?</c>

00:36:44.510 --> 00:36:45.510
Or<00:36:44.630><c> who</c><00:36:44.750><c> was</c><00:36:44.909><c> it</c><00:36:45.070><c> said</c><00:36:45.190><c> of?</c>

00:36:45.829 --> 00:36:48.550
The<00:36:46.050><c> most</c><00:36:46.730><c> high</c><00:36:47.530><c> God.</c>

00:36:54.130 --> 00:36:55.110
Abraham?

00:36:56.130 --> 00:36:56.610
Abraham?

00:36:56.610 --> 00:36:58.389
Said<00:36:56.769><c> about</c><00:36:57.050><c> what?</c>

00:36:58.650 --> 00:37:00.070
In<00:36:58.690><c> the</c><00:36:58.769><c> time</c><00:36:58.809><c> of</c><00:36:58.909><c> Abraham?</c>

00:37:00.530 --> 00:37:01.030
At<00:37:00.690><c> Melchizedek.</c>

00:37:01.789 --> 00:37:03.909
The<00:37:02.050><c> priest</c><00:37:02.489><c> of</c><00:37:02.789><c> the</c><00:37:02.929><c> most</c><00:37:03.309><c> high</c><00:37:03.570><c> God.</c>

00:37:04.110 --> 00:37:06.530
So<00:37:04.150><c> here's</c><00:37:04.309><c> Melchizedek,</c><00:37:05.190><c> the</c><00:37:05.349><c> type</c><00:37:05.489><c> of</c><00:37:05.610><c> the</c><00:37:05.690><c> Lord</c><00:37:05.849><c> Jesus</c><00:37:06.170><c> Christ.</c>

00:37:06.769 --> 00:37:08.389
He's<00:37:06.989><c> of</c><00:37:07.130><c> the</c><00:37:07.349><c> most</c><00:37:07.829><c> high</c><00:37:08.150><c> God.</c>

00:37:08.730 --> 00:37:09.690
So<00:37:08.829><c> Jesus</c><00:37:09.130><c> comes</c><00:37:09.489><c> then.</c>

00:37:09.809 --> 00:37:11.769
He's<00:37:10.070><c> the</c><00:37:10.309><c> son</c><00:37:10.510><c> of</c><00:37:10.750><c> the</c><00:37:11.349><c> highest.</c>

00:37:11.989 --> 00:37:15.329
And<00:37:12.250><c> how</c><00:37:12.349><c> many</c><00:37:12.530><c> times</c><00:37:12.809><c> does</c><00:37:12.969><c> it</c><00:37:13.170><c> say</c><00:37:13.289><c> in</c><00:37:13.409><c> Luke</c><00:37:13.909><c> about</c><00:37:14.309><c> the</c><00:37:14.510><c> highest?</c>

00:37:15.730 --> 00:37:17.170
Well,<00:37:16.489><c> let's</c><00:37:16.730><c> count</c><00:37:16.989><c> them.</c>

00:37:17.170 --> 00:37:19.449
There's<00:37:17.849><c> one</c><00:37:18.030><c> in</c><00:37:18.190><c> verse</c><00:37:18.369><c> 32.</c>

00:37:19.690 --> 00:37:21.429
The<00:37:19.690><c> son</c><00:37:19.969><c> of</c><00:37:20.150><c> the</c><00:37:20.409><c> highest.</c>

00:37:21.829 --> 00:37:24.789
There's<00:37:22.070><c> one</c><00:37:22.409><c> in</c><00:37:22.630><c> verse</c><00:37:23.130><c> 35.</c>

00:37:25.309 --> 00:37:27.150
The<00:37:25.590><c> power</c><00:37:25.789><c> of</c><00:37:25.989><c> the</c><00:37:26.150><c> highest.</c>

00:37:27.929 --> 00:37:32.889
There's<00:37:28.230><c> one</c><00:37:28.590><c> in</c><00:37:29.050><c> verse</c><00:37:29.989><c> 76</c><00:37:30.889><c> said</c><00:37:31.230><c> by</c><00:37:31.510><c> Zechariah.</c>

00:37:33.110 --> 00:37:36.889
That<00:37:33.389><c> child</c><00:37:33.750><c> shall</c><00:37:33.929><c> be</c><00:37:34.110><c> called</c><00:37:34.250><c> the</c><00:37:34.610><c> prophet</c><00:37:34.909><c> of</c><00:37:35.269><c> the</c><00:37:35.869><c> highest.</c>

00:37:37.989 --> 00:37:41.010
And<00:37:38.369><c> when</c><00:37:38.630><c> the</c><00:37:38.909><c> angels</c><00:37:39.230><c> came</c><00:37:39.590><c> outside</c><00:37:40.070><c> Bethlehem</c>

00:37:41.010 --> 00:37:46.010
and<00:37:41.429><c> they</c><00:37:41.610><c> heard</c><00:37:41.750><c> the</c><00:37:41.989><c> voice,</c><00:37:42.530><c> it</c><00:37:42.730><c> was</c><00:37:43.269><c> glory</c><00:37:43.650><c> to</c><00:37:43.889><c> God</c><00:37:44.309><c> in</c><00:37:44.909><c> the</c><00:37:45.110><c> highest.</c>

00:37:46.110 --> 00:37:48.389
So<00:37:46.630><c> it's</c><00:37:46.889><c> interesting</c><00:37:47.150><c> that</c><00:37:47.349><c> the</c><00:37:47.510><c> whole</c><00:37:47.690><c> sort</c><00:37:47.849><c> of</c><00:37:48.070><c> expression</c>

00:37:50.429 --> 00:37:53.250
They're<00:37:50.889><c> surrounded</c><00:37:51.329><c> by</c><00:37:51.670><c> that</c><00:37:51.889><c> idea</c><00:37:52.210><c> of</c><00:37:52.429><c> the</c><00:37:52.789><c> highest.</c>

00:37:53.670 --> 00:37:55.090
The<00:37:53.969><c> high</c><00:37:54.230><c> hope</c><00:37:54.429><c> that</c><00:37:54.650><c> we</c><00:37:54.849><c> have.</c>

00:37:55.369 --> 00:37:58.969
We<00:37:55.570><c> have</c><00:37:55.730><c> the</c><00:37:56.250><c> most</c><00:37:56.750><c> high</c><00:37:57.349><c> God</c><00:37:57.710><c> before</c><00:37:58.070><c> us</c><00:37:58.309><c> who's</c><00:37:58.570><c> come</c><00:37:58.769><c> and</c>

00:38:02.630 --> 00:38:05.929
The<00:38:02.869><c> son</c><00:38:03.150><c> of</c><00:38:03.349><c> the</c><00:38:03.530><c> highest</c><00:38:03.989><c> is</c><00:38:04.630><c> about</c><00:38:04.869><c> to</c><00:38:05.090><c> come.</c>

00:38:06.570 --> 00:38:09.150
And<00:38:06.809><c> so</c><00:38:06.889><c> he's</c><00:38:07.010><c> going</c><00:38:07.110><c> to</c><00:38:07.170><c> have</c><00:38:07.309><c> the</c><00:38:07.530><c> throne</c><00:38:07.769><c> of</c><00:38:07.989><c> his</c><00:38:08.150><c> father</c><00:38:08.409><c> David</c><00:38:08.809><c> then</c><00:38:09.030><c> in</c>

all<00:41:54.369><c> people.</c>

00:41:59.329 --> 00:42:03.349
Well<00:41:59.889><c> Mary's</c><00:42:00.449><c> perplexed.</c>

00:42:04.349 --> 00:42:06.429
Well<00:42:04.489><c> at</c><00:42:04.570><c> least</c><00:42:04.630><c> she</c><00:42:04.769><c> can't</c><00:42:05.050><c> work</c><00:42:05.230><c> out</c><00:42:05.329><c> how</c><00:42:05.449><c> it's</c><00:42:05.590><c> going</c><00:42:05.670><c> to</c><00:42:05.829><c> happen.</c>

00:42:06.429 --> 00:42:16.610
In<00:42:07.090><c> verse</c><00:42:07.329><c> 34,</c><00:42:08.690><c> how</c><00:42:10.849><c> shall</c><00:42:11.050><c> this</c><00:42:11.349><c> be</c><00:42:12.389><c> seeing</c><00:42:13.909><c> I</c><00:42:14.210><c> know</c><00:42:14.469><c> not</c><00:42:15.329><c> a</c><00:42:15.710><c> man?</c>

00:42:19.869 --> 00:42:23.150
How<00:42:20.110><c> shall</c><00:42:20.269><c> this</c><00:42:20.570><c> be</c><00:42:20.809><c> seeing</c><00:42:21.210><c> I</c><00:42:22.409><c> know</c><00:42:22.530><c> not</c><00:42:22.710><c> a</c><00:42:22.869><c> man?</c>

00:42:23.610 --> 00:42:26.369
Now<00:42:23.809><c> it's</c><00:42:23.889><c> pretty</c><00:42:24.090><c> obvious</c><00:42:24.530><c> what's</c><00:42:25.469><c> happening</c><00:42:25.610><c> here</c><00:42:25.929><c> is</c><00:42:26.090><c> that</c>

00:42:26.369 --> 00:42:31.170
Mary<00:42:26.730><c> is,</c><00:42:27.690><c> she's</c><00:42:28.170><c> not</c><00:42:28.530><c> questioning</c><00:42:29.050><c> the</c><00:42:29.289><c> fact</c><00:42:29.429><c> that</c><00:42:29.550><c> it</c><00:42:29.670><c> will</c><00:42:29.829><c> happen.</c>

00:42:32.449 --> 00:42:37.829
She<00:42:33.090><c> doesn't</c><00:42:33.389><c> doubt</c><00:42:33.630><c> the</c><00:42:33.949><c> fact</c><00:42:34.510><c> but</c><00:42:35.369><c> like</c><00:42:35.750><c> Abraham</c><00:42:36.190><c> did,</c><00:42:37.670><c> he</c>

00:42:37.829 --> 00:42:40.329
questions,<00:42:38.429><c> she</c><00:42:38.650><c> questions</c><00:42:39.010><c> the</c><00:42:39.369><c> mode.</c>

00:42:41.969 --> 00:42:45.590
Remember<00:42:42.610><c> that's</c><00:42:42.909><c> the</c><00:42:43.030><c> difference</c><00:42:43.230><c> with</c><00:42:43.909><c> Abraham</c><00:42:44.429><c> and</c><00:42:45.230><c> Sarah.</c>

00:42:45.889 --> 00:42:49.409
Sarah<00:42:46.210><c> laughed</c><00:42:46.730><c> because</c><00:42:46.949><c> that</c><00:42:47.070><c> would</c><00:42:47.250><c> never</c><00:42:47.469><c> happen,</c><00:42:47.809><c> they</c><00:42:47.929><c> could</c><00:42:48.090><c> never</c><00:42:48.250><c> have</c><00:42:48.409><c> a</c><00:42:48.550><c> son.</c>

00:42:49.750 --> 00:42:52.150
Abraham<00:42:50.130><c> believes</c><00:42:50.469><c> it</c><00:42:50.610><c> but</c><00:42:50.710><c> doesn't</c><00:42:50.929><c> know</c><00:42:51.150><c> how.</c>

00:42:52.969 --> 00:42:58.829
So<00:42:53.489><c> Mary</c><00:42:54.010><c> then</c><00:42:55.030><c> doesn't</c><00:42:55.650><c> know</c><00:42:55.849><c> how</c><00:42:56.010><c> but</c><00:42:56.210><c> believes</c><00:42:56.409><c> it</c><00:42:56.570><c> but</c><00:42:56.769><c> Zechariah,</c><00:42:58.550><c> Mary</c><00:42:58.670><c> in</c>

00:42:58.829 --> 00:43:02.789
the<00:42:58.949><c> chapter,</c><00:43:01.170><c> couldn't</c><00:43:01.409><c> believe</c><00:43:01.710><c> it.</c>

00:43:03.170 --> 00:43:05.190
And<00:43:03.329><c> so</c><00:43:03.409><c> he</c><00:43:03.550><c> was</c><00:43:03.789><c> struck</c><00:43:03.949><c> dumb.</c>

00:43:06.269 --> 00:43:09.730
That's<00:43:06.530><c> a</c><00:43:06.630><c> marvellous</c><00:43:06.949><c> thing</c><00:43:07.070><c> isn't</c><00:43:07.230><c> it</c><00:43:07.369><c> that</c><00:43:07.409><c> Mary,</c><00:43:08.289><c> she</c><00:43:08.590><c> just</c><00:43:08.909><c> accepts</c><00:43:09.150><c> it,</c>

00:43:10.210 --> 00:43:14.750
she<00:43:10.449><c> believes</c><00:43:10.769><c> it</c><00:43:11.010><c> but</c><00:43:11.469><c> is</c><00:43:12.110><c> puzzled</c><00:43:13.010><c> to</c><00:43:13.570><c> know</c><00:43:13.750><c> how.</c>

00:43:15.170 --> 00:43:16.570
How's<00:43:15.429><c> it</c><00:43:15.530><c> going</c><00:43:15.630><c> to</c><00:43:15.789><c> be?</c>

00:43:16.570 --> 00:43:19.710
Verse<00:43:17.530><c> 35,</c><00:43:18.070><c> And</c><00:43:18.250><c> the</c><00:43:18.409><c> angel</c><00:43:18.650><c> answered</c><00:43:18.989><c> and</c><00:43:19.110><c> said</c><00:43:19.230><c> unto</c><00:43:19.449><c> her,</c>

00:43:19.849 --> 00:43:25.110
The<00:43:20.170><c> Holy</c><00:43:20.690><c> Spirit</c><00:43:21.030><c> shall</c><00:43:21.150><c> come</c><00:43:21.289><c> upon</c><00:43:21.590><c> thee,</c><00:43:23.150><c> and</c><00:43:23.389><c> the</c><00:43:23.949><c> power</c>

00:43:25.110 --> 00:43:31.309
of<00:43:25.889><c> the</c><00:43:26.349><c> highest</c><00:43:26.989><c> shall</c><00:43:28.570><c> overshadow</c><00:43:30.349><c> thee.</c>

00:43:32.250 --> 00:43:36.309
Now<00:43:32.449><c> there's</c><00:43:32.610><c> another</c><00:43:32.869><c> case</c><00:43:33.349><c> where</c><00:43:33.809><c> it</c><00:43:33.989><c> talks</c><00:43:34.250><c> about</c><00:43:34.650><c> the</c><00:43:35.010><c> highest</c><00:43:35.409><c> himself</c><00:43:36.010><c> and</c>

00:43:36.309 --> 00:43:38.769
that's<00:43:36.650><c> Psalm</c><00:43:36.809><c> 87.</c>

00:43:38.909 --> 00:43:43.130
Remember<00:43:39.469><c> Psalm</c><00:43:39.690><c> 87</c><00:43:40.170><c> is</c><00:43:40.369><c> a</c><00:43:40.570><c> psalm</c><00:43:40.829><c> that</c><00:43:41.010><c> has</c><00:43:41.389><c> the</c><00:43:41.730><c> bring</c><00:43:41.949><c> together</c><00:43:42.570><c> of</c>

the<00:43:43.989><c> people</c><00:43:44.130><c> from</c><00:43:44.409><c> different</c><00:43:45.030><c> countries,</c>

00:43:46.389 --> 00:43:49.869
Ethiopians,<00:43:47.090><c> Philistines</c><00:43:47.650><c> and</c><00:43:47.929><c> Tyrians</c><00:43:48.269><c> and</c><00:43:48.630><c> they</c><00:43:48.889><c> come</c><00:43:49.110><c> together</c><00:43:49.510><c> and</c>

00:43:49.869 --> 00:43:50.809
where<00:43:50.090><c> are</c><00:43:50.190><c> they</c><00:43:50.309><c> all</c><00:43:50.570><c> born?</c>

00:43:50.909 --> 00:43:54.309
They're<00:43:51.170><c> all</c><00:43:51.389><c> born</c><00:43:51.550><c> in</c><00:43:51.789><c> Jerusalem</c><00:43:52.489><c> because</c><00:43:53.690><c> that's</c><00:43:54.210><c> where</c>

00:43:54.309 --> 00:43:57.110

00:43:57.250 --> 00:44:01.889
So<00:43:57.329><c> it's</c><00:43:59.349><c> the</c><00:43:59.670><c> highest</c><00:44:00.070><c> himself</c><00:44:00.670><c> it</c><00:44:00.949><c> says</c><00:44:01.110><c> in</c><00:44:01.289><c> that</c><00:44:01.550><c> psalm.</c>

00:44:01.889 --> 00:44:04.969
The<00:44:02.269><c> highest</c><00:44:02.550><c> himself</c><00:44:02.949><c> brings</c><00:44:03.590><c> all</c><00:44:03.869><c> these</c><00:44:04.130><c> Gentiles</c><00:44:04.590><c> in</c><00:44:04.789><c> and</c>

00:44:04.969 --> 00:44:08.449

00:44:08.889 --> 00:44:16.809
Like<00:44:09.070><c> us,</c><00:44:10.210><c> birthplace,</c><00:44:11.510><c> Zion,</c><00:44:12.429><c> birthplace,</c><00:44:13.630><c> Zion,</c><00:44:14.690><c> birthplace,</c><00:44:16.010><c> Zion</c><00:44:16.369><c> and</c>

00:44:16.809 --> 00:44:18.090
it's<00:44:17.090><c> the</c><00:44:17.289><c> highest</c><00:44:17.590><c> himself.</c>

00:44:18.329 --> 00:44:23.409
So<00:44:18.469><c> that</c><00:44:18.690><c> reference</c><00:44:19.010><c> to</c><00:44:19.210><c> the</c><00:44:19.469><c> highest</c><00:44:20.130><c> really</c><00:44:20.929><c> again</c><00:44:21.590><c> like</c><00:44:22.389><c> the</c><00:44:22.750><c> phrase</c><00:44:22.929><c> House</c><00:44:23.170><c> of</c>

Jacob<00:44:23.690><c> becomes</c><00:44:24.409><c> a</c><00:44:25.469><c> phrase</c><00:44:25.670><c> which</c><00:44:26.050><c> brings</c><00:44:26.730><c> people</c><00:44:27.090><c> in</c><00:44:27.289><c> there,</c>

00:44:27.409 --> 00:44:30.210
there's<00:44:27.489><c> going</c><00:44:27.610><c> to</c><00:44:27.730><c> be</c><00:44:28.329><c> a</c><00:44:28.329><c> new</c><00:44:28.889><c> relationship.</c>

00:44:30.329 --> 00:44:34.550
There's<00:44:30.690><c> going</c><00:44:30.809><c> to</c><00:44:31.010><c> be</c><00:44:31.349><c> Gentiles</c><00:44:31.849><c> as</c><00:44:32.050><c> well</c><00:44:32.210><c> as</c><00:44:32.429><c> Jews</c><00:44:32.630><c> now</c><00:44:33.230><c> participating</c><00:44:33.929><c> in</c>

00:44:39.309 --> 00:44:42.369
Therefore<00:44:39.849><c> also</c><00:44:40.269><c> that</c><00:44:40.550><c> holy</c><00:44:40.869><c> thing</c><00:44:41.130><c> which</c><00:44:41.309><c> shall</c><00:44:41.469><c> be</c><00:44:41.849><c> born</c><00:44:42.110><c> of</c>

00:44:50.389 --> 00:44:54.469
And<00:44:50.789><c> there</c><00:44:50.909><c> weren't</c><00:44:51.110><c> many</c><00:44:51.429><c> that</c><00:44:52.809><c> appreciated</c><00:44:53.409><c> that.</c>

00:45:10.530 --> 00:45:13.269
I<00:45:10.650><c> guess</c><00:45:10.829><c> she</c><00:45:10.989><c> could</c><00:45:11.170><c> never</c><00:45:11.349><c> really</c><00:45:11.610><c> appreciate</c><00:45:12.110><c> that.</c>

00:45:55.650 --> 00:45:58.250

00:46:09.329 --> 00:46:13.929
One<00:46:09.809><c> thing</c><00:46:10.030><c> isn't</c><00:46:10.210><c> to</c><00:46:11.329><c> say</c><00:46:11.690><c> he's</c><00:46:11.929><c> the</c><00:46:12.050><c> Son</c><00:46:12.190><c> of</c><00:46:12.349><c> God</c><00:46:12.469><c> but</c><00:46:13.170><c> the</c><00:46:13.429><c> reality</c><00:46:13.750><c> of</c>

00:46:13.929 --> 00:46:18.610
it<00:46:14.130><c> was</c><00:46:14.469><c> hard</c><00:46:14.949><c> for</c><00:46:15.110><c> them</c><00:46:15.369><c> to</c><00:46:16.489><c> know</c><00:46:16.809><c> what</c><00:46:17.550><c> that</c><00:46:18.050><c> really</c><00:46:18.210><c> was</c><00:46:18.429><c> doing.</c>

00:46:18.690 --> 00:46:21.809
They<00:46:18.929><c> really</c><00:46:19.289><c> saw</c><00:46:19.550><c> it</c><00:46:19.909><c> before</c><00:46:20.110><c> their</c><00:46:20.349><c> eyes</c><00:46:20.530><c> all</c><00:46:20.809><c> happening</c><00:46:21.090><c> and</c><00:46:21.750><c> it</c>

00:46:21.809 --> 00:46:24.989
was<00:46:21.929><c> only</c><00:46:22.130><c> afterwards</c><00:46:22.489><c> they</c><00:46:22.730><c> probably</c><00:46:23.349><c> realized</c><00:46:24.010><c> the</c><00:46:24.269><c> greatness</c><00:46:24.510><c> of</c><00:46:24.750><c> it,</c>

00:46:25.210 --> 00:46:26.710
the<00:46:25.550><c> Son</c><00:46:25.750><c> of</c><00:46:25.949><c> God.</c>

00:46:26.869 --> 00:46:31.469
I<00:46:27.090><c> guess</c><00:46:27.269><c> the</c><00:46:27.570><c> greatest</c><00:46:27.769><c> one</c><00:46:28.010><c> really</c><00:46:28.210><c> was</c><00:46:29.090><c> the</c><00:46:29.369><c> centurion.</c>

00:46:32.690 --> 00:46:37.210
He<00:46:33.130><c> sees</c><00:46:33.570><c> him</c><00:46:34.070><c> on</c><00:46:34.329><c> the</c><00:46:35.489><c> stake</c><00:46:35.690><c> or</c><00:46:35.909><c> the</c><00:46:36.090><c> cross.</c>

00:46:38.429 --> 00:46:40.929
A<00:46:38.429><c> time</c><00:46:38.650><c> when</c><00:46:38.869><c> really</c><00:46:39.050><c> he</c><00:46:39.150><c> was</c><00:46:39.389><c> no</c><00:46:39.630><c> one's</c><00:46:40.150><c> son.</c><00:46:40.429><c> No</c><00:46:40.610><c> one</c><00:46:40.730><c> wanted</c>

00:46:40.929 --> 00:46:42.750
him.<00:46:41.150><c> Who</c><00:46:41.309><c> would</c><00:46:41.469><c> want</c><00:46:41.590><c> a</c><00:46:41.750><c> son</c><00:46:41.869><c> on</c><00:46:42.090><c> the</c><00:46:42.230><c> cross?</c>

00:46:43.170 --> 00:46:46.349
And<00:46:43.269><c> the</c><00:46:43.449><c> Jews</c><00:46:43.730><c> certainly</c><00:46:44.210><c> said</c><00:46:44.489><c> he's</c><00:46:44.809><c> not</c><00:46:44.929><c> our</c><00:46:45.130><c> son.</c>

00:46:48.429 --> 00:46:52.849
And<00:46:48.550><c> the</c><00:46:48.730><c> centurion</c><00:46:49.429><c> was</c><00:46:49.710><c> able</c><00:46:49.829><c> to</c><00:46:49.969><c> stand</c><00:46:50.150><c> back</c><00:46:50.409><c> and</c><00:46:50.610><c> say</c><00:46:50.829><c> truly</c><00:46:51.369><c> this</c>

00:46:52.849 --> 00:46:56.329
was<00:46:53.849><c> the</c><00:46:54.710><c> Son</c><00:46:54.889><c> of</c><00:46:55.090><c> God.</c>

00:46:57.329 --> 00:46:59.110
Amazing<00:46:57.969><c> really.</c>

00:46:59.230 --> 00:47:01.409
Well<00:46:59.369><c> all</c><00:46:59.530><c> those</c><00:46:59.690><c> things</c><00:46:59.869><c> of</c><00:47:00.050><c> course</c><00:47:00.230><c> are</c><00:47:00.590><c> ahead</c><00:47:00.750><c> at</c><00:47:00.909><c> this</c><00:47:01.070><c> point</c><00:47:01.230><c> of</c>

00:47:01.409 --> 00:47:05.809
time<00:47:01.530><c> and</c><00:47:02.250><c> Mary</c><00:47:02.469><c> really</c><00:47:02.869><c> cannot</c><00:47:03.329><c> really</c><00:47:04.110><c> appreciate</c><00:47:04.849><c> what</c>

00:47:05.809 --> 00:47:06.750
was<00:47:06.489><c> happening.</c>

00:47:06.849 --> 00:47:14.130
But<00:47:07.070><c> what</c><00:47:07.429><c> Mary</c><00:47:07.730><c> does</c><00:47:08.110><c> do</c><00:47:09.409><c> in</c><00:47:10.250><c> the</c><00:47:10.489><c> greatness</c><00:47:10.929><c> is</c><00:47:11.449><c> she</c><00:47:11.769><c> accepts</c><00:47:12.130><c> it.</c>

00:47:14.230 --> 00:47:19.190
It<00:47:14.469><c> said</c><00:47:14.610><c> in</c><00:47:14.750><c> verse</c><00:47:14.909><c> 36</c><00:47:15.349><c> and</c><00:47:15.550><c> behold</c><00:47:15.809><c> thy</c><00:47:16.050><c> cousin</c><00:47:16.389><c> Elizabeth</c><00:47:16.949><c> she</c><00:47:17.789><c> hath</c><00:47:18.070><c> also</c><00:47:18.530><c> conceived</c><00:47:18.909><c> a</c>

00:47:19.190 --> 00:47:21.309
son<00:47:19.449><c> in</c><00:47:19.989><c> her</c><00:47:20.309><c> old</c><00:47:20.630><c> age.</c>

00:47:21.309 --> 00:47:26.630
And<00:47:22.650><c> this</c><00:47:22.829><c> is</c><00:47:22.989><c> the</c><00:47:23.190><c> sixth</c><00:47:23.429><c> month</c><00:47:23.710><c> with</c><00:47:24.050><c> her</c><00:47:24.309><c> who</c><00:47:24.449><c> was</c><00:47:24.750><c> called</c><00:47:25.250><c> barren.</c>

00:47:27.710 --> 00:47:34.150
But<00:47:27.869><c> with</c><00:47:28.090><c> God</c><00:47:28.710><c> nothing</c><00:47:30.449><c> shall</c><00:47:31.489><c> be</c><00:47:32.809><c> impossible.</c>

00:47:35.789 --> 00:47:40.570
Nothing<00:47:36.789><c> shall</c><00:47:37.789><c> be</c><00:47:39.269><c> impossible.</c>

00:47:41.769 --> 00:47:44.210
Actually<00:47:41.969><c> that</c><00:47:42.090><c> was</c><00:47:42.289><c> said</c><00:47:42.449><c> later</c><00:47:42.730><c> on.</c>

00:47:44.210 --> 00:47:47.210
Remember<00:47:45.510><c> when</c><00:47:45.610><c> it</c><00:47:45.690><c> was</c><00:47:45.909><c> said?</c>

00:47:49.090 --> 00:47:51.210
The<00:47:49.190><c> end</c><00:47:49.369><c> of</c><00:47:49.469><c> the</c><00:47:49.570><c> life</c><00:47:49.710><c> of</c><00:47:49.869><c> the</c><00:47:49.969><c> Lord.</c>

00:47:53.530 --> 00:47:59.829
And<00:47:53.670><c> he's</c><00:47:53.789><c> in</c><00:47:53.949><c> the</c><00:47:54.130><c> garden</c><00:47:54.610><c> and</c><00:47:56.489><c> he</c><00:47:56.670><c> says</c><00:47:57.150><c> Father</c><00:47:58.070><c> all</c><00:47:59.409><c> things</c>

00:47:59.829 --> 00:48:02.829
are<00:48:00.210><c> possible</c><00:48:01.170><c> unto</c><00:48:01.650><c> thee.</c>

00:48:03.110 --> 00:48:04.630
Take<00:48:03.349><c> away</c><00:48:03.570><c> the</c><00:48:03.789><c> cup.</c>

00:48:05.289 --> 00:48:07.429
So<00:48:05.429><c> it's</c><00:48:05.550><c> interesting</c><00:48:05.829><c> right</c><00:48:06.210><c> from</c><00:48:06.550><c> the</c><00:48:06.750><c> beginning</c><00:48:07.050><c> of</c><00:48:07.269><c> the</c>

00:48:07.429 --> 00:48:11.289
birth<00:48:07.929><c> of</c><00:48:08.110><c> Jesus</c><00:48:08.469><c> to</c><00:48:09.369><c> his</c><00:48:09.789><c> final</c><00:48:10.170><c> hours.</c>

00:48:11.690 --> 00:48:16.190
Nothing<00:48:12.210><c> with</c><00:48:12.429><c> God</c><00:48:13.110><c> would</c><00:48:13.769><c> be</c><00:48:14.730><c> impossible.</c>

00:48:18.170 --> 00:48:20.489
And<00:48:18.230><c> the</c><00:48:18.389><c> fact</c><00:48:18.550><c> of</c><00:48:18.690><c> course</c><00:48:18.829><c> that</c><00:48:18.969><c> she's</c><00:48:19.349><c> actually</c><00:48:20.050><c> been</c><00:48:20.369><c> able</c>

00:48:20.489 --> 00:48:22.250
to<00:48:20.650><c> go</c><00:48:20.769><c> and</c><00:48:21.030><c> see</c><00:48:21.150><c> Elizabeth.</c>

00:48:22.829 --> 00:48:25.210
It's<00:48:22.969><c> the</c><00:48:23.110><c> sixth</c><00:48:23.289><c> month</c><00:48:23.590><c> now</c><00:48:23.789><c> with</c><00:48:23.989><c> her</c><00:48:24.230><c> who</c><00:48:24.369><c> was</c><00:48:24.590><c> called</c><00:48:24.849><c> barren.</c>

00:48:25.329 --> 00:48:28.570
And<00:48:25.510><c> she</c><00:48:25.710><c> probably</c><00:48:26.030><c> had</c><00:48:26.309><c> not</c><00:48:26.590><c> known</c><00:48:26.869><c> about</c><00:48:27.150><c> Elizabeth</c><00:48:27.409><c> because</c><00:48:27.949><c> Elizabeth</c><00:48:28.329><c> had</c>

00:48:28.570 --> 00:48:32.769
hit<00:48:28.670><c> herself</c><00:48:29.110><c> for</c><00:48:30.309><c> five</c><00:48:31.510><c> months.</c>

00:48:33.130 --> 00:48:36.250
So<00:48:33.349><c> no</c><00:48:33.510><c> one</c><00:48:33.590><c> really</c><00:48:33.889><c> knew</c><00:48:34.269><c> what</c><00:48:34.449><c> was</c><00:48:34.670><c> happening</c><00:48:35.110><c> with</c><00:48:35.829><c> Elizabeth.</c>

00:48:36.250 --> 00:48:40.070
So<00:48:36.769><c> probably</c><00:48:37.190><c> this</c><00:48:37.510><c> is</c><00:48:37.730><c> the</c><00:48:37.869><c> first</c><00:48:38.210><c> time</c><00:48:38.610><c> then</c><00:48:38.989><c> which</c><00:48:39.750><c> Mary</c>

00:48:40.070 --> 00:48:42.489
has<00:48:40.550><c> heard</c><00:48:40.849><c> about</c><00:48:41.110><c> those</c><00:48:41.429><c> things.</c>

00:48:42.550 --> 00:48:44.530
And<00:48:42.769><c> you</c><00:48:42.849><c> can</c><00:48:42.989><c> imagine</c><00:48:43.170><c> the</c><00:48:43.489><c> encouragement</c><00:48:43.869><c> that</c><00:48:44.309><c> therefore</c>

00:48:44.530 --> 00:48:49.809
it's<00:48:44.750><c> given</c><00:48:44.969><c> so</c><00:48:45.170><c> she</c><00:48:45.309><c> can</c><00:48:45.590><c> go</c><00:48:45.949><c> there</c><00:48:46.409><c> and</c><00:48:47.610><c> be</c><00:48:47.969><c> reassured</c><00:48:49.150><c> of</c>

00:48:49.809 --> 00:48:51.369
those<00:48:50.170><c> things.</c>

00:48:52.190 --> 00:48:56.730
Behold<00:48:52.909><c> the</c><00:48:53.630><c> handmaiden</c><00:48:54.789><c> of</c><00:48:55.570><c> the</c><00:48:55.789><c> Lord.</c>

00:48:57.690 --> 00:49:03.789
Be<00:48:58.409><c> it</c><00:48:58.769><c> unto</c><00:48:59.050><c> me</c><00:49:00.409><c> according</c><00:49:01.329><c> to</c><00:49:02.750><c> thy</c><00:49:02.949><c> word.</c>

00:49:06.909 --> 00:49:09.050
Did<00:49:07.630><c> Mary</c><00:49:07.889><c> have</c><00:49:08.070><c> an</c><00:49:08.230><c> option?</c>

00:49:10.949 --> 00:49:15.409
Could<00:49:11.289><c> she</c><00:49:11.469><c> have</c><00:49:11.650><c> said</c><00:49:12.130><c> no</c><00:49:14.030><c> thank</c><00:49:14.289><c> you?</c>

00:49:16.630 --> 00:49:18.750
Possibly<00:49:16.989><c> she</c><00:49:17.230><c> could</c><00:49:17.389><c> have.</c>

00:49:18.969 --> 00:49:21.750
And<00:49:19.590><c> possibly</c><00:49:19.949><c> some</c><00:49:20.250><c> would</c><00:49:20.489><c> have.</c>

00:49:22.070 --> 00:49:24.429
Shrinking<00:49:22.590><c> from</c><00:49:22.769><c> the</c><00:49:22.949><c> very</c><00:49:23.269><c> difficult</c><00:49:23.590><c> situation</c><00:49:24.130><c> that</c><00:49:24.309><c> they</c>

00:49:24.429 --> 00:49:26.090
were<00:49:24.530><c> going</c><00:49:24.630><c> to</c><00:49:24.730><c> be</c><00:49:24.849><c> faced</c><00:49:25.110><c> with.</c>

00:49:26.969 --> 00:49:32.650
The<00:49:27.230><c> malicious</c><00:49:27.829><c> talk</c><00:49:28.449><c> that</c><00:49:30.050><c> was</c><00:49:30.289><c> going</c><00:49:30.449><c> to</c><00:49:30.869><c> inevitably</c><00:49:31.369><c> follow.</c>

00:49:34.969 --> 00:49:36.289
The<00:49:35.329><c> gossip.</c>

00:49:37.489 --> 00:49:38.769
The<00:49:37.730><c> looks.</c>

00:49:39.210 --> 00:49:40.449
And<00:49:39.469><c> so</c><00:49:39.650><c> on.</c>

00:49:40.530 --> 00:49:42.230
Would<00:49:40.610><c> you</c><00:49:40.730><c> go</c><00:49:40.889><c> along</c><00:49:41.010><c> with</c><00:49:41.210><c> this?</c>

00:49:42.809 --> 00:49:47.309
Would<00:49:43.510><c> you</c><00:49:43.690><c> volunteer</c><00:49:44.170><c> to</c><00:49:45.250><c> be</c><00:49:45.250><c> in</c><00:49:45.630><c> Mary's</c><00:49:46.190><c> situation?</c>

00:49:49.070 --> 00:49:51.389
Who's<00:49:49.429><c> going</c><00:49:49.550><c> to</c><00:49:49.610><c> believe</c><00:49:49.909><c> your</c><00:49:50.289><c> story?</c>

00:49:53.469 --> 00:49:55.269
No<00:49:53.750><c> one.</c>

00:49:57.210 --> 00:50:03.809
But<00:49:57.409><c> she</c><00:49:57.909><c> voluntarily</c><00:49:58.570><c> chooses</c><00:49:59.630><c> the</c><00:50:01.130><c> handmaid</c><00:50:02.329><c> of</c><00:50:02.849><c> the</c><00:50:02.989><c> Lord.</c>

00:50:03.909 --> 00:50:06.230
And<00:50:03.989><c> what</c><00:50:04.190><c> lay</c><00:50:04.449><c> ahead</c><00:50:04.710><c> for</c><00:50:04.829><c> her?</c>

00:50:06.590 --> 00:50:08.789
Elizabeth<00:50:06.989><c> was</c><00:50:07.210><c> going</c><00:50:07.369><c> to</c><00:50:07.449><c> have</c><00:50:07.630><c> this</c><00:50:08.050><c> child</c><00:50:08.289><c> to</c><00:50:08.489><c> take</c><00:50:08.630><c> away</c>

00:50:08.789 --> 00:50:09.429
her<00:50:09.090><c> approach.</c>

00:50:09.429 --> 00:50:12.130
And<00:50:09.489><c> as</c><00:50:09.670><c> we</c><00:50:09.889><c> said</c><00:50:10.130><c> Mary's</c><00:50:10.909><c> child</c><00:50:11.090><c> was</c><00:50:11.289><c> going</c><00:50:11.429><c> to</c><00:50:11.730><c> bring</c><00:50:11.889><c> her</c>

00:50:12.130 --> 00:50:14.269
approach<00:50:12.590><c> upon</c><00:50:12.969><c> her.</c>

00:50:14.309 --> 00:50:18.429
Elizabeth<00:50:14.789><c> could</c><00:50:15.010><c> come</c><00:50:15.190><c> and</c><00:50:15.349><c> she</c><00:50:15.449><c> could</c><00:50:16.070><c> proudly</c><00:50:16.650><c> carry</c><00:50:18.110><c> the</c>

00:50:18.429 --> 00:50:21.230
child<00:50:18.670><c> that</c><00:50:18.889><c> she</c><00:50:19.090><c> had</c><00:50:19.429><c> looked</c><00:50:19.630><c> for</c><00:50:20.090><c> for</c><00:50:20.349><c> so</c><00:50:20.570><c> long.</c>

00:50:21.869 --> 00:50:24.269
But<00:50:22.289><c> Mary</c><00:50:22.489><c> couldn't.</c>

00:50:24.789 --> 00:50:27.650
Here<00:50:24.949><c> she</c><00:50:25.130><c> was</c><00:50:25.269><c> living</c><00:50:25.610><c> in</c><00:50:25.889><c> a</c><00:50:26.030><c> group</c><00:50:26.110><c> of</c><00:50:26.349><c> people</c><00:50:26.489><c> who</c><00:50:26.710><c> were</c>

00:50:27.650 --> 00:50:29.210
very<00:50:28.190><c> moral.</c>

00:50:29.369 --> 00:50:31.170
It<00:50:29.449><c> was</c><00:50:29.650><c> a</c><00:50:30.030><c> moral</c><00:50:30.230><c> age.</c>

00:50:33.190 --> 00:50:37.309
I<00:50:33.369><c> guess</c><00:50:33.550><c> all</c><00:50:33.750><c> of</c><00:50:33.849><c> us</c><00:50:33.969><c> have</c><00:50:34.130><c> seen</c><00:50:34.849><c> an</c><00:50:35.309><c> age</c><00:50:35.690><c> change</c><00:50:36.190><c> very</c><00:50:36.750><c> dramatically.</c>

00:50:37.769 --> 00:50:41.309
At<00:50:38.170><c> least</c><00:50:38.369><c> if</c><00:50:38.530><c> you're</c><00:50:38.750><c> over</c><00:50:39.789><c> perhaps</c><00:50:40.389><c> 40.</c>

00:50:42.250 --> 00:50:45.230
There<00:50:42.289><c> was</c><00:50:42.489><c> a</c><00:50:42.550><c> great,</c><00:50:43.190><c> much</c><00:50:43.429><c> greater</c><00:50:43.670><c> sense</c><00:50:43.929><c> of</c><00:50:44.130><c> morality.</c>

00:50:47.289 --> 00:50:49.949
