Good<00:00:15.119><c> morning,</c><00:00:15.560><c> everyone.</c>

00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.079
I'd<00:00:18.440><c> like</c><00:00:18.480><c> to</c><00:00:18.780><c> correct</c><00:00:19.100><c> a</c><00:00:19.980><c> slight</c><00:00:20.079><c> bit</c><00:00:20.239><c> of</c><00:00:20.440><c> misunderstanding,</c>

00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:23.820
and<00:00:21.460><c> one</c><00:00:21.579><c> of</c><00:00:21.699><c> which</c><00:00:21.879><c> is</c><00:00:22.280><c> a</c><00:00:22.859><c> very</c><00:00:23.160><c> definite</c><00:00:23.519><c> error</c>

00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:25.320
on<00:00:24.000><c> my</c><00:00:24.300><c> part.</c>

00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:29.019
In<00:00:25.920><c> the</c><00:00:26.120><c> first</c><00:00:26.320><c> period,</c><00:00:27.219><c> I</c><00:00:27.379><c> think</c><00:00:27.539><c> it's</c><00:00:27.719><c> a</c><00:00:27.839><c> misunderstanding,</c>

00:00:29.300 --> 00:00:31.519
when<00:00:29.440><c> we</c><00:00:29.579><c> were</c><00:00:29.719><c> talking</c><00:00:30.059><c> about</c><00:00:30.440><c> the</c><00:00:30.679><c> midwives</c><00:00:31.280><c> and</c>

00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.420
how<00:00:31.820><c> that</c><00:00:32.060><c> they</c><00:00:32.380><c> had</c><00:00:32.640><c> feared</c><00:00:32.880><c> God</c><00:00:33.439><c> and</c><00:00:34.439><c> had</c><00:00:34.700><c> not</c><00:00:34.920><c> destroyed</c>

00:00:35.420 --> 00:00:38.020
the<00:00:35.799><c> male</c><00:00:35.979><c> babies</c><00:00:36.399><c> that</c><00:00:36.820><c> the</c><00:00:37.140><c> Hebrew</c><00:00:37.359><c> women</c><00:00:37.640><c> had,</c>

00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:41.179
and<00:00:38.659><c> then</c><00:00:38.799><c> we</c><00:00:38.939><c> went</c><00:00:39.079><c> on</c><00:00:39.219><c> to</c><00:00:39.359><c> the</c><00:00:39.560><c> command</c><00:00:39.859><c> of</c><00:00:40.179><c> Pharaoh</c><00:00:40.420><c> to</c><00:00:40.820><c> all</c>

00:00:41.179 --> 00:00:42.460
of<00:00:41.320><c> his</c><00:00:41.500><c> people.</c>

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.560
And<00:00:43.280><c> some</c><00:00:43.479><c> said</c><00:00:43.759><c> that</c><00:00:43.939><c> it</c><00:00:44.060><c> came</c><00:00:44.359><c> through</c><00:00:44.759><c> that</c><00:00:45.000><c> the</c><00:00:45.140><c> suggestion</c><00:00:45.600><c> was</c><00:00:45.960><c> that</c>

00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:47.939

00:00:47.939 --> 00:00:51.200
would<00:00:48.119><c> be</c><00:00:48.240><c> put</c><00:00:48.500><c> to</c><00:00:48.659><c> death</c><00:00:48.780><c> as</c><00:00:49.000><c> well</c><00:00:49.119><c> as</c><00:00:49.280><c> the</c><00:00:49.460><c> Hebrews,</c><00:00:49.679><c> and</c><00:00:49.799><c> that's</c><00:00:50.700><c> very</c><00:00:51.039><c> far</c>

00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:52.299
from<00:00:51.359><c> the</c><00:00:51.520><c> truth.</c>

00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.719
The<00:00:52.539><c> command</c><00:00:52.920><c> was</c><00:00:53.780><c> to</c><00:00:54.060><c> get</c><00:00:54.159><c> rid</c><00:00:54.299><c> of</c><00:00:54.420><c> the</c><00:00:54.579><c> Hebrew</c><00:00:54.780><c> boy</c><00:00:55.219><c> babies</c>

00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:57.659

00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:04.159
And<00:00:58.179><c> both,</c><00:00:59.140><c> not</c><00:00:59.320><c> only</c><00:00:59.520><c> the</c><00:00:59.700><c> midwives</c><00:01:00.159><c> now,</c><00:01:00.520><c> but</c><00:01:00.719><c> also</c><00:01:01.200><c> the</c><00:01:01.460><c> Hebrew</c><00:01:01.899><c> parents</c><00:01:02.399><c> themselves</c><00:01:03.259><c> as</c>

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:05.319

00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:09.359
would<00:01:05.980><c> have</c><00:01:06.120><c> seen</c><00:01:06.280><c> to</c><00:01:06.439><c> it</c><00:01:06.620><c> that</c><00:01:06.840><c> the</c><00:01:07.159><c> destruction</c><00:01:07.540><c> of</c><00:01:07.799><c> the</c><00:01:08.140><c> Hebrew</c><00:01:08.359><c> babies</c><00:01:08.799><c> be</c>

00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:10.659
carried<00:01:09.659><c> out.</c>

00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:12.200
And<00:01:11.019><c> so</c><00:01:11.120><c> the</c><00:01:11.319><c> command</c><00:01:11.599><c> was</c><00:01:11.840><c> to</c><00:01:12.019><c> all.</c>

00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.799
Had<00:01:12.700><c> nothing</c><00:01:13.219><c> whatsoever</c><00:01:13.920><c> to</c><00:01:14.840><c> do</c><00:01:15.019><c> with</c><00:01:15.120><c> destruction</c><00:01:15.560><c> of</c>

00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:16.500
Egyptian<00:01:16.140><c> babies.</c>

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:17.640
That<00:01:16.760><c> would</c><00:01:16.959><c> not</c><00:01:17.099><c> be</c><00:01:17.280><c> the</c><00:01:17.359><c> case.</c>

00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.700
And<00:01:18.079><c> so</c><00:01:18.260><c> if</c><00:01:18.359><c> it</c><00:01:18.540><c> did</c><00:01:18.719><c> come</c><00:01:18.980><c> through</c><00:01:19.200><c> wrong,</c><00:01:19.920><c> I</c><00:01:20.079><c> certainly</c><00:01:20.379><c> apologize.</c>

00:01:22.579 --> 00:01:24.980
I<00:01:22.719><c> know</c><00:01:22.920><c> whether</c><00:01:23.099><c> it</c><00:01:23.200><c> was</c><00:01:23.340><c> a</c><00:01:23.480><c> definite</c><00:01:23.680><c> mistake</c><00:01:24.060><c> on</c><00:01:24.239><c> my</c><00:01:24.540><c> part,</c>

00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.200
and<00:01:25.620><c> that</c><00:01:25.859><c> was</c><00:01:26.159><c> yesterday</c><00:01:26.480><c> when</c><00:01:26.719><c> I</c><00:01:26.939><c> mentioned</c>

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.620
that<00:01:27.459><c> the</c><00:01:27.579><c> names</c><00:01:27.900><c> of</c><00:01:28.120><c> the</c><00:01:28.260><c> two</c><00:01:28.420><c> magicians</c><00:01:29.359><c> were</c><00:01:29.700><c> Janus</c><00:01:30.060><c> and</c><00:01:30.239><c> Jambres.</c>

00:01:30.700 --> 00:01:33.400
Well,<00:01:30.859><c> that</c><00:01:31.060><c> part</c><00:01:31.200><c> was</c><00:01:31.400><c> right,</c><00:01:32.540><c> but</c><00:01:32.659><c> I</c><00:01:32.819><c> don't</c><00:01:33.060><c> think</c><00:01:33.200><c> you're</c>

00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:34.680
going<00:01:33.500><c> to</c><00:01:33.659><c> find</c><00:01:33.819><c> it</c><00:01:33.959><c> too</c><00:01:34.219><c> quickly</c><00:01:34.420><c> in</c><00:01:34.579><c> the</c>

00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:35.299
book<00:01:34.819><c> of</c><00:01:35.040><c> James.</c>

00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:37.260
You<00:01:35.439><c> can</c><00:01:35.640><c> hunt</c><00:01:35.760><c> for</c><00:01:35.959><c> an</c><00:01:36.079><c> awful</c><00:01:36.200><c> long</c><00:01:36.500><c> time</c><00:01:36.739><c> because</c><00:01:36.879><c> it's</c><00:01:37.060><c> not</c>

00:01:37.260 --> 00:01:38.359
in<00:01:37.500><c> there.</c>

00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:42.700
It<00:01:38.780><c> happens</c><00:01:39.099><c> to</c><00:01:39.299><c> be</c><00:01:39.560><c> in</c><00:01:39.879><c> 2</c><00:01:40.180><c> Timothy</c><00:01:40.579><c> 3</c><00:01:41.260><c> verse</c><00:01:41.620><c> 8.</c>

00:01:42.739 --> 00:01:46.180
So<00:01:43.180><c> if</c><00:01:43.400><c> anyone</c><00:01:43.700><c> would</c><00:01:43.939><c> like</c><00:01:44.159><c> to</c><00:01:44.379><c> find</c><00:01:44.560><c> that,</c><00:01:45.239><c> that's</c><00:01:45.579><c> where</c><00:01:45.739><c> it</c><00:01:45.879><c> is.</c>

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.340
And<00:01:46.719><c> I'm</c><00:01:46.939><c> sorry</c><00:01:47.159><c> that</c><00:01:47.340><c> we</c><00:01:47.480><c> made</c><00:01:48.060><c> a</c><00:01:48.340><c> bit</c><00:01:48.420><c> of</c><00:01:48.540><c> a</c><00:01:48.719><c> mistake</c><00:01:49.019><c> in</c><00:01:49.239><c> regard</c><00:01:49.540><c> to</c>

00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:52.120
the<00:01:50.640><c> reference</c><00:01:50.879><c> that</c><00:01:51.099><c> we</c><00:01:51.280><c> gave.</c>

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:56.280
But<00:01:52.799><c> we</c><00:01:52.900><c> do</c><00:01:53.019><c> go</c><00:01:53.200><c> on</c><00:01:53.359><c> this</c><00:01:53.620><c> morning</c><00:01:53.840><c> to</c><00:01:54.060><c> the</c><00:01:54.260><c> contest</c><00:01:54.819><c> of</c><00:01:55.260><c> the</c><00:01:55.420><c> gods.</c>

00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.299
And<00:01:57.019><c> there</c><00:01:57.140><c> is</c><00:01:57.280><c> a</c><00:01:57.319><c> definite</c><00:01:57.659><c> contest</c><00:01:58.120><c> of</c><00:01:58.299><c> the</c><00:01:58.439><c> gods.</c>

00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:03.019
The<00:01:59.540><c> purpose</c><00:01:59.840><c> of</c><00:02:00.019><c> the</c><00:02:00.180><c> ten</c><00:02:00.359><c> plagues</c><00:02:01.159><c> was</c><00:02:01.700><c> to</c><00:02:01.939><c> show</c><00:02:02.159><c> that</c><00:02:02.540><c> Yahweh,</c><00:02:02.920><c> the</c>

00:02:05.420 --> 00:02:08.599
And<00:02:05.620><c> we</c><00:02:05.799><c> remember</c><00:02:06.099><c> when</c><00:02:06.299><c> Moses</c><00:02:06.719><c> went</c><00:02:06.939><c> in</c><00:02:07.239><c> and</c><00:02:07.620><c> did</c><00:02:07.799><c> as</c><00:02:08.139><c> God</c><00:02:08.400><c> had</c>

00:02:10.979 --> 00:02:15.020
that<00:02:11.699><c> Yahweh</c><00:02:12.400><c> was</c><00:02:12.659><c> his...</c><00:02:12.979><c> that</c><00:02:13.680><c> Israel</c><00:02:14.080><c> was</c><00:02:14.259><c> his</c><00:02:14.479><c> firstborn</c>

00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.779

the<00:05:26.740><c> first</c><00:05:27.040><c> two</c><00:05:27.319><c> plagues,</c><00:05:27.699><c> but</c><00:05:27.839><c> when</c><00:05:28.019><c> it</c><00:05:28.079><c> gets</c><00:05:28.259><c> to</c><00:05:28.459><c> the</c><00:05:28.560><c> third</c>

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:36.000
They<00:05:31.819><c> fall</c><00:05:32.160><c> down</c><00:05:32.540><c> on</c><00:05:32.740><c> the</c><00:05:32.980><c> first</c><00:05:33.639><c> perfect</c><00:05:34.319><c> number,</c><00:05:35.899><c> plague</c>

00:05:37.100 --> 00:05:43.879
Now<00:05:37.339><c> remember,</c><00:05:38.040><c> they</c><00:05:38.279><c> were</c><00:05:38.540><c> successful</c><00:05:39.339><c> in</c><00:05:40.600><c> creating</c><00:05:41.180><c> serpents,</c><00:05:42.420><c> or</c><00:05:42.620><c> crocodiles,</c><00:05:43.139><c> whichever</c><00:05:43.399><c> the</c><00:05:43.660><c> case</c>

00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:57.319

00:05:58.980 --> 00:06:02.279
we<00:05:59.199><c> say,</c><00:06:00.360><c> that's</c><00:06:00.660><c> obviously</c><00:06:01.180><c> by</c><00:06:01.579><c> trickery.</c>

00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.879
How<00:06:02.879><c> it</c><00:06:03.040><c> is,</c><00:06:03.740><c> we</c><00:06:03.980><c> don't</c><00:06:04.240><c> know</c><00:06:04.399><c> and</c><00:06:04.500><c> we're</c><00:06:04.660><c> not</c><00:06:04.939><c> told,</c><00:06:05.560><c> and</c><00:06:05.720><c> it</c>

00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:07.319
doesn't<00:06:06.060><c> really</c><00:06:06.339><c> matter.</c>

00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:11.540
The<00:06:07.819><c> fact</c><00:06:08.040><c> is</c><00:06:08.319><c> that</c><00:06:08.500><c> what</c><00:06:08.879><c> God</c><00:06:09.120><c> does</c><00:06:09.560><c> is</c><00:06:09.879><c> far</c><00:06:10.040><c> superior</c><00:06:10.420><c> to</c><00:06:10.560><c> what</c><00:06:10.860><c> they</c><00:06:11.139><c> do,</c>

00:06:11.980 --> 00:06:13.740
and<00:06:12.199><c> it</c><00:06:12.319><c> shows</c><00:06:12.540><c> up</c><00:06:12.740><c> right</c><00:06:12.920><c> away.</c>

00:06:13.699 --> 00:06:17.199
But<00:06:13.980><c> when</c><00:06:14.160><c> it</c><00:06:14.220><c> comes</c><00:06:14.459><c> to</c><00:06:14.620><c> the</c><00:06:14.699><c> third</c><00:06:14.980><c> plague,</c><00:06:15.300><c> that</c><00:06:15.699><c> unannounced</c><00:06:16.240><c> plague,</c>

00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.259
they're<00:06:17.720><c> not</c><00:06:17.899><c> able</c><00:06:18.079><c> to</c><00:06:18.279><c> perform</c><00:06:18.560><c> it.</c>

00:06:19.579 --> 00:06:21.199
Perhaps<00:06:19.759><c> one</c><00:06:19.939><c> of</c><00:06:20.040><c> the</c><00:06:20.079><c> reasons</c><00:06:20.399><c> is</c><00:06:20.560><c> they</c><00:06:20.680><c> didn't</c><00:06:20.860><c> know</c><00:06:20.980><c> it</c><00:06:21.100><c> was</c>

00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:29.939
But<00:06:23.879><c> it's</c><00:06:24.300><c> also</c><00:06:24.680><c> interesting</c><00:06:25.180><c> to</c><00:06:25.399><c> note</c><00:06:25.759><c> that</c><00:06:26.220><c> when</c><00:06:26.480><c> that</c><00:06:26.879><c> third</c><00:06:27.199><c> plague</c><00:06:27.560><c> takes</c><00:06:27.980><c> place,</c><00:06:29.180><c> even</c><00:06:29.480><c> Janus</c>

00:06:29.939 --> 00:06:34.519

00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:39.579
What<00:06:35.620><c> a</c><00:06:36.180><c> confession</c><00:06:36.579><c> that</c><00:06:36.980><c> is,</c><00:06:38.399><c> even</c><00:06:38.680><c> against</c><00:06:39.000><c> themselves.</c>

00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.300
And<00:06:40.139><c> so</c><00:06:40.259><c> we'll</c><00:06:40.420><c> be</c><00:06:40.579><c> able</c><00:06:40.699><c> to</c><00:06:40.899><c> follow</c><00:06:41.040><c> these,</c><00:06:41.300><c> and</c><00:06:41.399><c> incidentally</c><00:06:41.819><c> they</c><00:06:42.040><c> don't</c>

00:06:42.300 --> 00:06:43.220
produce<00:06:42.699><c> any</c><00:06:43.019><c> of</c><00:06:43.100><c> the</c>

00:06:47.459 --> 00:06:50.379
That's<00:06:47.720><c> where</c><00:06:47.879><c> they</c><00:06:48.079><c> stop,</c><00:06:48.720><c> and</c><00:06:48.879><c> once</c><00:06:49.139><c> they</c><00:06:49.339><c> have</c><00:06:49.560><c> stopped,</c>

00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.360
And<00:06:52.720><c> so</c><00:06:52.839><c> we'll</c><00:06:53.060><c> pick</c><00:06:53.259><c> up</c><00:06:53.399><c> now,</c><00:06:54.120><c> considering</c><00:06:54.620><c> the</c><00:06:54.819><c> first</c><00:06:55.060><c> three</c>

00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:36.560

00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:07.679
A<00:09:06.559><c> miracle</c><00:09:06.840><c> has</c><00:09:07.059><c> been</c><00:09:07.240><c> there.</c>

00:09:07.940 --> 00:09:11.440

00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.559
I<00:09:19.080><c> know</c><00:09:19.279><c> it</c><00:09:19.519><c> says</c><00:09:19.639><c> in</c><00:09:19.820><c> the</c><00:09:19.960><c> scripture</c><00:09:20.379><c> that</c><00:09:20.820><c> God</c><00:09:21.179><c> hardened</c>

00:09:39.019 --> 00:09:42.860
But<00:09:39.200><c> now</c><00:09:39.440><c> we</c><00:09:39.659><c> find</c><00:09:39.919><c> that</c><00:09:41.139><c> Moses</c><00:09:41.519><c> goes</c><00:09:41.840><c> to</c><00:09:42.100><c> Pharaoh,</c><00:09:42.500><c> and</c><00:09:42.679><c> there</c>

00:09:42.860 --> 00:09:44.620
he<00:09:42.940><c> is</c><00:09:43.120><c> down</c><00:09:43.299><c> by</c><00:09:43.460><c> the</c><00:09:43.600><c> river</c><00:09:43.740><c> Nile.</c>

00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:47.659
I<00:09:45.740><c> wonder</c><00:09:45.820><c> why</c><00:09:45.980><c> he's</c><00:09:46.120><c> down</c><00:09:46.320><c> by</c><00:09:46.480><c> the</c><00:09:46.600><c> river</c><00:09:46.759><c> Nile.</c>

00:09:48.340 --> 00:09:50.940
I'd<00:09:48.820><c> rather</c><00:09:48.919><c> suspect,</c><00:09:49.700><c> as</c><00:09:49.860><c> he</c><00:09:50.000><c> goes</c><00:09:50.159><c> out</c><00:09:50.399><c> to</c><00:09:50.500><c> the</c><00:09:50.600><c> river</c><00:09:50.779><c> Nile</c>

every<00:09:51.200><c> morning,</c><00:09:52.360><c> that</c><00:09:52.480><c> it's</c><00:09:52.659><c> because</c>

00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:56.179
all<00:09:53.919><c> the</c><00:09:54.120><c> Egyptians</c><00:09:54.460><c> worship</c><00:09:54.879><c> the</c><00:09:55.080><c> Nile</c><00:09:55.320><c> River.</c>

00:09:56.220 --> 00:09:58.360
The<00:09:56.440><c> Nile</c><00:09:56.639><c> was</c><00:09:56.840><c> a</c><00:09:57.059><c> god</c><00:09:57.279><c> of</c><00:09:57.480><c> theirs.</c>

00:09:58.620 --> 00:10:03.820
We<00:09:58.759><c> know</c><00:09:59.000><c> of</c><00:09:59.240><c> the</c><00:09:59.779><c> term</c><00:10:00.279><c> Osiris,</c><00:10:03.360><c> don't</c><00:10:03.639><c> we?</c>

00:10:03.820 --> 00:10:05.059
We've<00:10:04.059><c> heard</c><00:10:04.179><c> of</c><00:10:04.259><c> that</c><00:10:04.500><c> Egyptian</c><00:10:04.840><c> god.</c>

00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.360
Probably<00:10:05.620><c> there</c><00:10:05.860><c> are</c><00:10:05.960><c> at</c><00:10:06.059><c> least</c><00:10:06.259><c> three</c><00:10:06.519><c> Egyptian</c><00:10:06.860><c> gods</c><00:10:07.139><c> we're</c>

00:10:10.379 --> 00:10:13.980

00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.879
And<00:10:15.419><c> we</c><00:10:15.679><c> find</c><00:10:15.940><c> that</c><00:10:16.480><c> it</c><00:10:16.700><c> was</c><00:10:16.940><c> worshiped</c><00:10:17.299><c> by</c><00:10:17.480><c> the</c><00:10:17.639><c> people.</c>

00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:21.879
Another<00:10:18.240><c> one</c><00:10:18.440><c> is</c><00:10:19.419><c> Isis,</c><00:10:20.639><c> which</c><00:10:20.799><c> is</c><00:10:21.000><c> a</c><00:10:21.120><c> goddess</c><00:10:21.340><c> of</c><00:10:21.539><c> the</c><00:10:21.679><c> heavens.</c>

00:10:21.980 --> 00:10:24.899
We'll<00:10:22.179><c> see</c><00:10:22.360><c> that</c><00:10:22.580><c> later</c><00:10:22.799><c> on</c><00:10:23.000><c> when</c><00:10:23.139><c> we</c><00:10:23.200><c> get</c><00:10:23.379><c> into</c><00:10:23.620><c> the</c><00:10:23.779><c> third</c><00:10:24.000><c> set.</c>

00:10:25.700 --> 00:10:30.580
And<00:10:26.139><c> the</c><00:10:26.580><c> third</c><00:10:26.820><c> one</c><00:10:27.559><c> is</c><00:10:29.100><c> Ra,</c><00:10:29.840><c> the</c><00:10:30.059><c> sun</c><00:10:30.320><c> god.</c>

00:10:31.059 --> 00:10:33.120
And<00:10:31.299><c> we're</c><00:10:31.460><c> going</c><00:10:31.559><c> to</c><00:10:31.659><c> take</c><00:10:31.820><c> that</c><00:10:32.019><c> up</c><00:10:32.179><c> when</c><00:10:32.299><c> we</c><00:10:32.460><c> get</c><00:10:32.620><c> to</c><00:10:32.740><c> it.</c>

00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:38.779

And<00:10:39.559><c> they</c><00:10:39.960><c> worshiped</c><00:10:40.500><c> the</c><00:10:40.539><c> Nile</c><00:10:40.740><c> River</c><00:10:41.000><c> because</c><00:10:41.379><c> they</c><00:10:41.720><c> felt</c>

00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:30.840
And<00:11:28.580><c> so</c><00:11:28.779><c> it</c><00:11:28.960><c> brought</c><00:11:29.200><c> food</c><00:11:29.620><c> and</c><00:11:29.899><c> water.</c>

00:11:30.870 --> 00:11:34.860

00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.399
It<00:11:38.759><c> was</c><00:11:39.059><c> quite</c><00:11:39.419><c> obvious</c><00:11:40.179><c> that</c><00:11:40.639><c> a</c><00:11:40.799><c> people</c><00:11:41.059><c> who</c><00:11:41.279><c> did</c><00:11:41.539><c> not</c><00:11:41.940><c> know</c>

00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:53.120
they<00:11:52.039><c> would</c><00:11:52.179><c> look</c><00:11:52.379><c> around</c><00:11:52.679><c> and</c><00:11:52.840><c> then</c><00:11:53.000><c> say,</c>

00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:54.620
well,<00:11:53.539><c> this</c><00:11:53.860><c> does</c><00:11:54.100><c> good</c><00:11:54.320><c> for</c><00:11:54.519><c> me.</c>

00:11:54.620 --> 00:11:56.299
There<00:11:54.720><c> must</c><00:11:54.919><c> be</c><00:11:55.100><c> a</c><00:11:55.259><c> God</c><00:11:55.419><c> attached</c><00:11:55.799><c> to</c><00:11:56.039><c> that.</c>

00:11:56.620 --> 00:11:57.580

00:11:57.580 --> 00:12:03.860

00:12:03.779 --> 00:12:06.820
have<00:12:04.059><c> worshiped</c><00:12:04.679><c> various</c><00:12:04.980><c> things</c><00:12:05.279><c> that</c><00:12:05.440><c> they</c><00:12:05.620><c> felt</c><00:12:05.759><c> were</c><00:12:05.960><c> beneficial</c><00:12:06.419><c> to</c><00:12:06.620><c> them.</c>

00:12:06.940 --> 00:12:09.559
And<00:12:07.139><c> they've</c><00:12:07.460><c> also</c><00:12:07.899><c> worshiped</c><00:12:08.759><c> things</c><00:12:08.759><c> that</c><00:12:09.019><c> they</c><00:12:09.240><c> felt</c><00:12:09.399><c> have</c>

00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.019
been<00:12:09.700><c> harmful</c><00:12:10.179><c> because</c><00:12:10.700><c> they've</c><00:12:10.919><c> been</c>

00:12:11.019 --> 00:12:11.860

00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.320

00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.480
So<00:12:14.500><c> they've</c><00:12:14.779><c> divided</c><00:12:15.100><c> up</c><00:12:15.360><c> that</c><00:12:15.539><c> pantheon</c><00:12:16.120><c> of</c><00:12:16.340><c> gods</c><00:12:16.620><c> into</c><00:12:17.139><c> good</c>

00:12:19.179 --> 00:12:22.279

only<00:12:34.679><c> true</c><00:12:34.899><c> and</c><00:12:35.019><c> living</c><00:12:35.200><c> God.</c>

00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:37.059
But<00:12:35.960><c> He's</c><00:12:36.120><c> going</c><00:12:36.259><c> to</c><00:12:36.360><c> do</c><00:12:36.419><c> it</c><00:12:36.659><c> in</c><00:12:36.799><c> steps.</c>

00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.059
He's<00:12:37.480><c> first</c><00:12:37.720><c> going</c><00:12:37.899><c> to</c><00:12:38.039><c> establish</c><00:12:38.399><c> the</c><00:12:38.639><c> fact</c><00:12:38.960><c> He</c><00:12:39.460><c> exists</c><00:12:40.179><c> and</c>

00:12:41.059 --> 00:12:43.399
then<00:12:41.620><c> show</c><00:12:42.000><c> that</c><00:12:42.600><c> the</c><00:12:42.820><c> Egyptian</c><00:12:43.100><c> gods</c>

00:12:44.379 --> 00:12:47.840
And<00:12:44.779><c> consequently,</c><00:12:45.179><c> they</c><00:12:45.419><c> worshiped</c><00:12:46.120><c> the</c><00:12:46.279><c> Nile</c><00:12:46.539><c> River,</c><00:12:47.379><c> which</c><00:12:47.580><c> is</c>

00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:49.720
associated<00:12:48.480><c> with</c><00:12:48.919><c> Osiris.</c>

00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:53.639
But<00:12:50.240><c> there</c><00:12:50.419><c> was</c><00:12:50.700><c> also</c><00:12:51.059><c> another</c><00:12:51.379><c> rather</c><00:12:51.639><c> interesting</c><00:12:52.100><c> God</c><00:12:52.419><c> that</c><00:12:52.559><c> they</c><00:12:52.799><c> worship,</c><00:12:53.460><c> a</c>

00:12:55.580 --> 00:13:00.639
And<00:12:56.059><c> this</c><00:12:56.539><c> God,</c><00:12:56.899><c> Hapi,</c><00:12:58.159><c> is</c><00:12:58.360><c> depicted</c><00:12:58.799><c> as</c><00:12:59.000><c> a</c><00:12:59.179><c> fat</c><00:12:59.379><c> man</c><00:12:59.840><c> with</c><00:13:00.480><c> the</c>

00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:04.700
Rather<00:13:02.480><c> strange</c><00:13:02.899><c> sight,</c><00:13:03.179><c> I'm</c><00:13:03.320><c> sure</c><00:13:03.480><c> we'd</c><00:13:03.759><c> all</c><00:13:03.919><c> admit.</c>

00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:07.320
But<00:13:05.019><c> nevertheless,</c><00:13:06.000><c> that's</c><00:13:06.159><c> what</c><00:13:06.299><c> He</c><00:13:06.440><c> was</c><00:13:06.600><c> pictured</c><00:13:06.899><c> as.</c>

00:13:07.580 --> 00:13:10.399
And<00:13:07.799><c> He</c><00:13:08.000><c> was</c><00:13:08.259><c> looked</c><00:13:08.440><c> upon</c><00:13:08.740><c> as</c><00:13:08.919><c> the</c><00:13:09.100><c> God</c><00:13:09.240><c> of</c><00:13:09.419><c> fertility.</c>

00:13:10.580 --> 00:13:13.879
So<00:13:10.720><c> we've</c><00:13:10.980><c> got</c><00:13:11.379><c> the</c><00:13:11.600><c> Nile</c><00:13:11.820><c> River,</c><00:13:12.519><c> and</c><00:13:12.659><c> then</c><00:13:12.860><c> we've</c><00:13:13.059><c> got</c><00:13:13.220><c> another</c><00:13:13.539><c> God</c>

00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:15.519

00:20:12.779 --> 00:20:13.900
and<00:20:12.799><c> sure</c><00:20:13.000><c> they</c><00:20:13.160><c> do.</c>

00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.299
Frogs<00:20:14.740><c> come</c><00:20:14.940><c> up,</c><00:20:15.599><c> and</c><00:20:15.720><c> then</c><00:20:16.119><c> the</c><00:20:16.319><c> magicians</c><00:20:16.680><c> go</c><00:20:16.839><c> out</c><00:20:17.019><c> and</c><00:20:17.119><c> they</c>

00:20:17.299 --> 00:20:19.180
make<00:20:17.480><c> frogs</c><00:20:17.799><c> as</c><00:20:18.079><c> well.</c>

00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:21.920
And<00:20:19.559><c> we've</c><00:20:19.759><c> got</c><00:20:19.859><c> the</c><00:20:20.039><c> same</c><00:20:20.240><c> problem</c><00:20:20.579><c> here</c><00:20:21.039><c> as</c><00:20:21.359><c> we</c><00:20:21.539><c> had</c><00:20:21.640><c> in</c><00:20:21.819><c> the</c>

00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:23.000
last<00:20:22.140><c> plague.</c>

00:20:23.500 --> 00:20:26.880
Finally,<00:20:23.900><c> Pharaoh</c><00:20:24.220><c> has</c><00:20:24.460><c> to</c><00:20:24.680><c> ask</c><00:20:24.859><c> Moses</c><00:20:25.220><c> to</c><00:20:25.380><c> have</c><00:20:25.480><c> the</c><00:20:25.680><c> frogs</c><00:20:25.880><c> removed.</c>

00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:28.759
The<00:20:27.420><c> magicians</c><00:20:27.900><c> couldn't</c><00:20:28.119><c> do</c><00:20:28.339><c> it.</c>

00:20:29.140 --> 00:20:32.920
They<00:20:29.319><c> could</c><00:20:29.759><c> bring</c><00:20:30.039><c> a</c><00:20:30.259><c> few,</c><00:20:31.380><c> but</c><00:20:31.859><c> they</c><00:20:32.299><c> certainly</c><00:20:32.599><c> couldn't</c>

00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:33.559
remove<00:20:33.259><c> any.</c>

00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:35.420
And<00:20:34.140><c> then</c><00:20:34.319><c> we</c><00:20:34.500><c> have</c><00:20:34.740><c> difficulties.</c>

00:20:35.420 --> 00:20:39.099
We<00:20:35.940><c> find</c><00:20:36.339><c> that</c><00:20:36.559><c> these</c><00:20:36.859><c> frogs</c><00:20:37.240><c> that</c><00:20:37.460><c> they</c><00:20:37.720><c> worshiped,</c><00:20:38.799><c> they</c><00:20:38.799><c> used</c><00:20:38.920><c> to</c>

00:20:39.099 --> 00:20:39.799
worship<00:20:39.359><c> frogs,</c>

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:43.079
and<00:20:40.460><c> they</c><00:20:40.720><c> start</c><00:20:40.920><c> getting</c><00:20:41.140><c> into</c><00:20:41.359><c> everything,</c><00:20:42.480><c> right</c><00:20:42.880><c> into</c>

00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:43.700
the<00:20:43.319><c> homes.</c>

00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.019
They<00:20:44.099><c> come</c><00:20:44.299><c> in</c><00:20:44.480><c> through</c><00:20:44.640><c> the</c><00:20:44.779><c> windows,</c><00:20:45.119><c> they</c><00:20:45.180><c> get</c><00:20:45.299><c> into</c><00:20:45.500><c> the</c><00:20:45.740><c> pantries,</c>

00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:48.480
they<00:20:46.180><c> get</c><00:20:46.339><c> into</c><00:20:46.539><c> the</c><00:20:46.680><c> kneading</c><00:20:47.039><c> crots,</c><00:20:47.559><c> they</c><00:20:47.759><c> get</c><00:20:47.920><c> into</c><00:20:48.160><c> every</c>

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:49.480
single<00:20:48.779><c> thing</c><00:20:48.900><c> they</c><00:20:49.160><c> have.</c>

00:20:49.779 --> 00:20:56.599
And<00:20:49.940><c> pretty</c><00:20:50.319><c> soon,</c><00:20:51.359><c> this</c><00:20:51.420><c> god</c><00:20:51.839><c> that</c><00:20:52.019><c> they</c><00:20:52.319><c> worship</c><00:20:52.759><c> has</c><00:20:54.160><c> become</c><00:20:55.019><c> a</c><00:20:55.440><c> nuisance.</c>

00:20:57.059 --> 00:20:59.480
And<00:20:57.579><c> they're</c><00:20:57.880><c> worshiping</c><00:20:58.259><c> a</c><00:20:58.380><c> god</c><00:20:58.599><c> that's</c><00:20:58.880><c> a</c><00:20:58.980><c> nuisance.</c>

00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:03.480
It's<00:21:00.220><c> beginning</c><00:21:00.500><c> to</c><00:21:00.759><c> make</c><00:21:01.119><c> things</c><00:21:01.420><c> look</c><00:21:01.920><c> somewhat</c><00:21:02.299><c> ridiculous,</c><00:21:03.000><c> isn't</c><00:21:03.200><c> it?</c>

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:06.359
Without<00:21:03.799><c> actually</c><00:21:04.480><c> saying</c><00:21:04.859><c> so,</c><00:21:05.400><c> but</c><00:21:05.539><c> we</c><00:21:05.640><c> can</c><00:21:05.900><c> certainly</c><00:21:06.160><c> see</c>

00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:07.500
it<00:21:06.559><c> is.</c>

00:21:07.579 --> 00:21:09.980
And<00:21:07.759><c> there</c><00:21:07.940><c> they</c><00:21:08.079><c> were</c><00:21:08.259><c> around</c><00:21:08.460><c> for</c><00:21:08.660><c> a</c><00:21:08.779><c> period</c><00:21:09.000><c> of</c><00:21:09.240><c> time</c><00:21:09.559><c> until</c>

00:21:09.980 --> 00:21:12.519
finally<00:21:10.500><c> Pharaoh</c><00:21:11.079><c> has</c><00:21:11.720><c> to</c><00:21:11.940><c> ask</c><00:21:12.160><c> Moses.</c>

00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:15.339
He<00:21:12.660><c> says,</c><00:21:12.940><c> look,</c><00:21:13.859><c> couldn't</c><00:21:14.220><c> you</c><00:21:14.400><c> get</c><00:21:14.539><c> rid</c><00:21:14.700><c> of</c><00:21:14.799><c> these</c><00:21:15.019><c> frogs</c>

00:21:15.339 --> 00:21:16.460
for<00:21:15.619><c> me?</c>

00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:18.859
And<00:21:16.880><c> so</c><00:21:17.039><c> Moses</c><00:21:17.440><c> impreats</c><00:21:17.940><c> God.</c>

00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:21.359
Now<00:21:19.440><c> we've</c><00:21:19.799><c> come</c><00:21:19.920><c> to</c><00:21:20.140><c> another</c><00:21:20.400><c> problem.</c>

00:21:22.099 --> 00:21:23.859
Remember<00:21:22.319><c> what</c><00:21:22.500><c> happened</c><00:21:22.759><c> to</c><00:21:22.900><c> that</c><00:21:23.059><c> river?</c>

00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:28.299
The<00:21:24.599><c> Nile</c><00:21:24.819><c> River</c><00:21:25.079><c> became</c><00:21:25.480><c> blood,</c><00:21:25.980><c> it</c><00:21:26.220><c> became</c><00:21:26.420><c> rancid,</c><00:21:26.900><c> it</c><00:21:27.059><c> began</c><00:21:27.279><c> to</c><00:21:27.579><c> stink.</c>

00:21:28.700 --> 00:21:31.220
Now<00:21:29.079><c> the</c><00:21:29.339><c> frogs</c><00:21:29.619><c> are</c><00:21:29.859><c> taken</c><00:21:30.099><c> care</c><00:21:30.420><c> of.</c>

00:21:31.180 --> 00:21:35.980
The<00:21:31.400><c> frogs</c><00:21:31.839><c> die,</c><00:21:33.220><c> and</c><00:21:33.319><c> they</c><00:21:33.640><c> pile</c><00:21:33.859><c> them</c><00:21:34.039><c> up</c><00:21:34.220><c> in</c><00:21:34.440><c> heaps</c><00:21:34.720><c> in</c><00:21:34.920><c> the</c><00:21:35.099><c> land.</c>

00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:38.680
And<00:21:36.299><c> what</c><00:21:36.460><c> are</c><00:21:36.599><c> we</c><00:21:36.740><c> going</c><00:21:36.920><c> to</c><00:21:37.119><c> do</c><00:21:37.279><c> with</c><00:21:37.480><c> heaps</c><00:21:37.880><c> of</c><00:21:38.099><c> dead</c><00:21:38.339><c> frogs</c>

00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:39.980
lying<00:21:39.039><c> all</c><00:21:39.319><c> over</c><00:21:39.480><c> the</c><00:21:39.640><c> place?</c>

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:43.799
Well,<00:21:40.640><c> it</c><00:21:40.720><c> doesn't</c><00:21:41.039><c> take</c><00:21:41.359><c> long</c><00:21:41.559><c> in</c><00:21:41.700><c> a</c><00:21:41.819><c> hot</c><00:21:41.960><c> country</c><00:21:42.279><c> like</c><00:21:42.559><c> Egypt</c><00:21:43.059><c> for</c>

00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:46.319
those<00:21:44.119><c> frogs</c><00:21:44.500><c> to</c><00:21:44.779><c> begin</c><00:21:44.980><c> to</c><00:21:45.500><c> decay.</c>

00:21:46.819 --> 00:21:52.140
And<00:21:47.019><c> when</c><00:21:47.200><c> they</c><00:21:47.480><c> begin</c><00:21:47.720><c> to</c><00:21:48.019><c> decay,</c><00:21:48.359><c> we're</c><00:21:48.599><c> told</c><00:21:49.099><c> the</c><00:21:49.980><c> land</c><00:21:51.000><c> stank.</c>

00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:54.200
And<00:21:52.920><c> so</c><00:21:53.039><c> once</c><00:21:53.259><c> again,</c><00:21:53.460><c> we've</c><00:21:53.680><c> got</c><00:21:53.799><c> the</c><00:21:54.000><c> problem.</c>

00:21:54.460 --> 00:21:55.700
Do<00:21:54.680><c> you</c><00:21:54.680><c> remember</c><00:21:54.940><c> a</c><00:21:55.079><c> little</c><00:21:55.240><c> while</c><00:21:55.440><c> ago?</c>

00:21:55.740 --> 00:21:58.700
We<00:21:55.880><c> didn't</c><00:21:56.099><c> make</c><00:21:56.319><c> too</c><00:21:56.579><c> much</c><00:21:56.779><c> of</c><00:21:56.940><c> it,</c><00:21:57.079><c> although</c><00:21:57.259><c> we</c><00:21:57.519><c> mentioned</c><00:21:57.779><c> it.</c>

00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:01.000
Remember<00:21:59.059><c> when</c><00:21:59.259><c> the</c><00:21:59.420><c> elders</c><00:21:59.599><c> of</c><00:21:59.759><c> Israel</c><00:22:00.059><c> went</c><00:22:00.240><c> in</c><00:22:00.400><c> before</c><00:22:00.740><c> Pharaoh,</c>

00:22:01.059 --> 00:22:04.279
when<00:22:01.200><c> Moses</c><00:22:01.559><c> first</c><00:22:01.859><c> said,</c><00:22:02.920><c> God</c><00:22:03.200><c> demands</c><00:22:03.579><c> that</c><00:22:03.759><c> you</c><00:22:03.839><c> let</c><00:22:04.019><c> my</c>

00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:05.480
people<00:22:04.500><c> go?</c>

00:22:05.660 --> 00:22:07.220
And<00:22:05.779><c> he</c><00:22:05.900><c> said,</c><00:22:05.980><c> it</c><00:22:06.059><c> must</c><00:22:06.220><c> be</c><00:22:06.400><c> because</c><00:22:06.539><c> the</c><00:22:06.700><c> people</c><00:22:06.880><c> are</c><00:22:07.140><c> idle.</c>

00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:09.319
And<00:22:07.319><c> he</c><00:22:07.500><c> began</c><00:22:07.700><c> to</c><00:22:07.920><c> give</c><00:22:08.039><c> them</c><00:22:08.220><c> more</c><00:22:08.519><c> work.</c>

00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:12.039
And<00:22:09.740><c> so</c><00:22:10.140><c> the</c><00:22:10.440><c> elders</c><00:22:10.680><c> went</c><00:22:10.839><c> in</c><00:22:11.059><c> and</c><00:22:11.140><c> asked</c><00:22:11.339><c> him</c><00:22:11.460><c> to</c><00:22:11.660><c> take</c><00:22:11.799><c> their</c>

00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:12.460
work<00:22:12.240><c> away.</c>

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:14.099
And<00:22:12.619><c> he</c><00:22:12.660><c> says,</c><00:22:12.940><c> no,</c><00:22:13.160><c> you're</c><00:22:13.380><c> idle.</c>

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:17.759
And<00:22:14.440><c> they</c><00:22:14.720><c> said</c><00:22:14.859><c> they</c><00:22:15.119><c> made</c><00:22:15.859><c> our</c><00:22:16.640><c> savor</c><00:22:16.940><c> to</c><00:22:17.180><c> be</c><00:22:17.500><c> abhorred</c>

00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:18.440
before<00:22:18.059><c> Pharaoh.</c>

00:22:18.619 --> 00:22:21.680

00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:09.720

00:24:33.859 --> 00:24:35.480

00:24:35.500 --> 00:24:37.559
They<00:24:35.619><c> would</c><00:24:35.960><c> nip</c><00:24:36.319><c> and</c><00:24:36.720><c> bite</c><00:24:36.940><c> at</c><00:24:37.180><c> a</c><00:24:37.279><c> person.</c>

00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:40.359
They<00:24:38.099><c> were</c><00:24:38.380><c> very,</c><00:24:38.839><c> very</c><00:24:39.160><c> uncomfortable.</c>

00:24:41.299 --> 00:24:45.039
Probably,<00:24:41.740><c> they</c><00:24:42.180><c> must</c><00:24:42.500><c> have</c><00:24:42.680><c> known</c><00:24:42.880><c> a</c><00:24:43.039><c> lot</c><00:24:43.160><c> about</c><00:24:43.440><c> our</c><00:24:44.680><c> green</c>

00:24:49.019 --> 00:24:50.980
But<00:24:49.160><c> here</c><00:24:49.339><c> we</c><00:24:49.519><c> find</c><00:24:49.700><c> these</c><00:24:49.900><c> were</c><00:24:50.079><c> lice,</c><00:24:50.359><c> much</c><00:24:50.559><c> smaller</c><00:24:50.859><c> than</c>

00:24:57.940 --> 00:25:02.799

00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:14.940
And<00:25:11.799><c> so</c><00:25:11.940><c> we</c><00:25:12.119><c> find</c><00:25:12.400><c> that</c><00:25:12.759><c> they</c><00:25:13.119><c> became</c><00:25:13.619><c> a</c><00:25:14.019><c> difficulty.</c>

00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:01.819
They<00:25:59.319><c> said,</c><00:25:59.900><c> this</c><00:26:00.359><c> is</c><00:26:00.700><c> the</c><00:26:00.980><c> finger</c><00:26:01.279><c> of</c><00:26:01.579><c> God.</c>

00:27:19.819 --> 00:27:23.700
It's<00:27:20.019><c> very</c><00:27:20.279><c> difficult</c><00:27:20.680><c> to</c><00:27:20.880><c> know</c><00:27:21.099><c> just</c><00:27:21.579><c> what</c><00:27:21.880><c> type</c><00:27:22.099><c> of</c><00:27:22.339><c> creatures</c><00:27:22.740><c> these</c><00:27:23.339><c> were.</c>

00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.960
It<00:27:27.079><c> is</c><00:27:27.400><c> most</c><00:27:27.720><c> likely</c><00:27:28.200><c> that</c><00:27:28.660><c> it</c><00:27:28.880><c> had</c><00:27:29.079><c> to</c><00:27:29.299><c> do</c><00:27:29.440><c> with</c><00:27:29.579><c> the</c><00:27:29.859><c> scarab</c>

And<00:27:33.880><c> it</c><00:27:34.039><c> seems</c><00:27:34.220><c> as</c><00:27:34.400><c> though</c><00:27:34.519><c> they</c><00:27:34.839><c> probably</c><00:27:35.359><c> were</c><00:27:35.599><c> the</c><00:27:35.740><c> ones</c>

00:28:24.059 --> 00:28:25.119
Interesting,<00:28:24.559><c> isn't</c><00:28:24.700><c> it?</c>

00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:27.759

And<00:28:36.799><c> consequently,</c><00:28:37.779><c> they</c><00:28:37.779><c> would</c><00:28:38.019><c> take</c><00:28:38.299><c> an</c><00:28:38.500><c> Egyptian</c><00:28:38.819><c> pharaoh,</c>

00:28:57.019 --> 00:29:00.680

00:29:16.980 --> 00:29:20.259
even<00:29:17.359><c> some</c><00:29:17.640><c> of</c><00:29:17.799><c> their</c><00:29:18.000><c> servants</c><00:29:18.559><c> were</c><00:29:19.700><c> executed</c>

00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:28.019
And<00:29:26.559><c> so</c><00:29:26.660><c> they</c><00:29:26.799><c> did</c><00:29:27.039><c> believe</c><00:29:27.200><c> in</c><00:29:27.359><c> an</c><00:29:27.579><c> afterlife,</c>

00:29:32.140 --> 00:29:35.480
But<00:29:32.579><c> it</c><00:29:32.900><c> is</c><00:29:33.200><c> suggested</c><00:29:33.720><c> that</c><00:29:33.960><c> perhaps</c><00:29:34.559><c> these</c><00:29:34.980><c> flies</c>

00:29:38.619 --> 00:29:41.660
It<00:29:38.700><c> could</c><00:29:38.880><c> even</c><00:29:39.200><c> mean</c><00:29:39.720><c> swarms</c><00:29:40.420><c> of</c><00:29:40.720><c> flies.</c>

00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.019
And<00:29:41.940><c> so</c><00:29:42.319><c> our</c><00:29:43.200><c> mind</c><00:29:43.460><c> is</c><00:29:43.660><c> left</c><00:29:43.819><c> with</c><00:29:44.019><c> a</c><00:29:44.099><c> little</c><00:29:44.240><c> bit</c><00:29:44.380><c> of</c><00:29:44.500><c> a</c><00:29:44.640><c> question,</c>

00:29:45.420 --> 00:29:48.359
but<00:29:45.500><c> there</c><00:29:45.700><c> is</c><00:29:45.859><c> no</c><00:29:46.079><c> doubt</c><00:29:46.299><c> about</c><00:29:46.519><c> what</c><00:29:46.779><c> it</c><00:29:47.160><c> is</c><00:29:47.420><c> directed,</c>

00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.380
And<00:29:53.480><c> now</c><00:29:53.640><c> we</c><00:29:53.779><c> find</c><00:29:54.039><c> a</c><00:29:54.140><c> rather</c><00:29:54.319><c> interesting</c><00:29:54.740><c> thing</c><00:29:54.980><c> takes</c><00:29:55.279><c> place.</c>

00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:01.279
Up<00:29:57.559><c> until</c><00:29:57.759><c> this</c><00:29:58.099><c> time,</c><00:29:59.579><c> Israel</c><00:30:00.000><c> had</c><00:30:00.180><c> had</c><00:30:00.279><c> to</c><00:30:00.460><c> suffer</c><00:30:00.619><c> with</c><00:30:00.819><c> the</c><00:30:00.960><c> plagues.</c>

00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:03.960
They<00:30:02.079><c> suffered</c><00:30:02.420><c> with</c><00:30:02.680><c> plagues</c><00:30:02.859><c> one,</c><00:30:03.119><c> two</c><00:30:03.299><c> and</c><00:30:03.359><c> three.</c>

00:30:04.460 --> 00:30:07.339
But<00:30:04.599><c> now</c><00:30:04.880><c> we</c><00:30:05.000><c> find</c><00:30:05.279><c> that</c><00:30:05.460><c> God</c><00:30:05.680><c> is</c><00:30:05.900><c> going</c><00:30:06.079><c> to</c><00:30:06.259><c> make</c><00:30:06.480><c> a</c><00:30:06.799><c> separation.</c>

00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:12.960

00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.400

00:30:32.059 --> 00:30:33.720

00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:43.480
I<00:30:40.619><c> would</c><00:30:40.880><c> rather</c><00:30:41.079><c> suspect</c><00:30:41.700><c> that</c><00:30:42.259><c> when</c><00:30:42.500><c> Pharaoh</c><00:30:42.799><c> got</c><00:30:43.039><c> the</c><00:30:43.240><c> news</c>

But<00:31:22.400><c> after</c><00:31:22.740><c> a</c><00:31:22.960><c> period</c><00:31:23.180><c> of</c><00:31:23.440><c> time,</c><00:31:23.960><c> there</c><00:31:24.019><c> may</c><00:31:24.220><c> be</c><00:31:24.400><c> a</c><00:31:24.579><c> cutoff</c><00:31:24.900><c> point.</c>

00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:28.640
And<00:31:25.640><c> from</c><00:31:25.779><c> that</c><00:31:26.119><c> time</c><00:31:26.380><c> forward,</c><00:31:27.059><c> there</c><00:31:27.220><c> will</c><00:31:27.440><c> be</c><00:31:27.640><c> a</c><00:31:28.039><c> separation</c>

00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:32.579
between<00:31:29.519><c> God's</c><00:31:30.380><c> children</c><00:31:30.740><c> and</c><00:31:31.220><c> those</c><00:31:31.460><c> that</c><00:31:31.640><c> are</c><00:31:31.759><c> not</c><00:31:31.940><c> God's</c><00:31:32.339><c> children.</c>

00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:34.400
It's<00:31:32.960><c> an</c><00:31:33.119><c> interesting</c><00:31:33.440><c> thought.</c>

00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:36.640
And<00:31:34.819><c> I</c><00:31:35.019><c> certainly</c><00:31:35.279><c> wouldn't</c><00:31:35.480><c> say</c><00:31:35.700><c> that</c><00:31:35.859><c> it's</c><00:31:36.079><c> not</c><00:31:36.319><c> right,</c>

00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:39.680
but<00:31:37.420><c> this</c><00:31:37.759><c> is</c><00:31:37.960><c> not</c><00:31:38.119><c> the</c><00:31:38.279><c> time</c><00:31:38.420><c> to</c><00:31:38.640><c> try</c><00:31:38.759><c> to</c><00:31:38.960><c> debate</c><00:31:39.119><c> it</c><00:31:39.319><c> one</c><00:31:39.480><c> way</c>

00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:40.000
or<00:31:39.779><c> another.</c>

00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:42.640
But<00:31:40.319><c> it's</c><00:31:40.500><c> nice</c><00:31:40.720><c> for</c><00:31:40.839><c> us</c><00:31:40.980><c> to</c><00:31:41.140><c> keep</c><00:31:41.220><c> it</c><00:31:41.400><c> in</c><00:31:41.480><c> our</c><00:31:41.700><c> mind.</c>

00:31:43.779 --> 00:31:47.940
And<00:31:44.019><c> so</c><00:31:44.160><c> here</c><00:31:44.339><c> we</c><00:31:44.500><c> find</c><00:31:44.819><c> that</c><00:31:45.460><c> the</c><00:31:45.839><c> animals</c><00:31:46.319><c> and</c><00:31:47.140><c> the</c><00:31:47.359><c> people</c>

00:31:47.940 --> 00:31:48.819
of<00:31:48.339><c> Egypt</c>

00:31:48.819 --> 00:31:51.299
were<00:31:49.420><c> tormented</c><00:31:49.920><c> because</c><00:31:50.319><c> of</c><00:31:50.519><c> these</c><00:31:50.740><c> beetles.</c>

00:31:51.700 --> 00:31:52.880
It<00:31:51.980><c> was</c><00:31:52.220><c> a</c><00:31:52.400><c> problem.</c>

00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:57.460
And<00:31:53.720><c> they</c><00:31:54.140><c> had</c><00:31:54.400><c> to</c><00:31:54.779><c> ask</c><00:31:55.440><c> for</c><00:31:56.039><c> deliverance.</c>

00:31:58.859 --> 00:32:02.539
And<00:31:59.440><c> so</c><00:31:59.660><c> now</c><00:31:59.880><c> we</c><00:32:00.000><c> move</c><00:32:00.259><c> over</c><00:32:00.720><c> to</c><00:32:01.160><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:32:01.480><c> reaction.</c>

00:32:02.740 --> 00:32:05.480
And<00:32:02.799><c> we</c><00:32:03.000><c> find</c><00:32:03.240><c> that</c><00:32:03.539><c> Pharaoh</c><00:32:03.859><c> did</c><00:32:04.099><c> have</c><00:32:04.339><c> a</c><00:32:04.539><c> reaction.</c>

00:32:06.299 --> 00:32:11.660
Pharaoh<00:32:06.460><c> says,</c><00:32:07.660><c> go</c><00:32:07.680><c> ye</c><00:32:08.039><c> and</c><00:32:09.119><c> sacrifice</c><00:32:09.819><c> to</c><00:32:10.099><c> God</c><00:32:10.299><c> in</c><00:32:10.500><c> the</c><00:32:10.680><c> land.</c>

00:32:11.940 --> 00:32:13.660
Oh,<00:32:12.279><c> that's</c><00:32:12.720><c> interesting.</c>

00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:17.380
They<00:32:14.299><c> asked</c><00:32:14.720><c> to</c><00:32:14.960><c> go</c><00:32:15.119><c> three</c><00:32:15.400><c> days</c><00:32:15.700><c> journey</c><00:32:16.039><c> into</c><00:32:16.259><c> the</c><00:32:16.440><c> wilderness,</c>

00:32:17.420 --> 00:32:18.779
out<00:32:17.579><c> away</c><00:32:17.779><c> from</c><00:32:17.940><c> the</c><00:32:18.059><c> rest</c><00:32:18.200><c> of</c><00:32:18.359><c> the</c><00:32:18.480><c> people,</c>

00:32:19.099 --> 00:32:20.839
out<00:32:19.279><c> away</c><00:32:19.480><c> from</c><00:32:19.700><c> civilization.</c>

00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:24.339
Pharaoh<00:32:21.299><c> says,</c><00:32:21.799><c> OK,</c><00:32:22.240><c> I'll</c><00:32:22.559><c> let</c><00:32:22.700><c> you</c><00:32:22.920><c> sacrifice</c><00:32:23.640><c> in</c><00:32:23.960><c> the</c><00:32:24.140><c> land.</c>

00:32:24.579 --> 00:32:25.559
Don't<00:32:24.839><c> go</c><00:32:25.160><c> away.</c>

00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:27.660
Just<00:32:26.160><c> stay</c><00:32:26.359><c> right</c><00:32:26.660><c> here</c><00:32:26.880><c> and</c><00:32:27.099><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:32:27.660 --> 00:32:30.660
And<00:32:28.339><c> Moses</c><00:32:28.880><c> immediately</c><00:32:29.619><c> raises</c><00:32:30.019><c> an</c><00:32:30.279><c> objection.</c>

00:32:31.019 --> 00:32:33.059
And<00:32:31.140><c> it's</c><00:32:31.359><c> a</c><00:32:31.460><c> very</c><00:32:31.720><c> valid</c><00:32:32.039><c> objection.</c>

00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:36.480
As<00:32:33.519><c> we're</c><00:32:33.799><c> going</c><00:32:33.900><c> to</c><00:32:34.160><c> find</c><00:32:34.319><c> in</c><00:32:34.500><c> some</c><00:32:34.680><c> of</c><00:32:34.799><c> these</c><00:32:35.000><c> successive</c><00:32:35.500><c> plays,</c>

00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:43.500
we're<00:32:37.160><c> going</c><00:32:37.279><c> to</c><00:32:37.400><c> find</c><00:32:37.640><c> that</c><00:32:38.640><c> these</c><00:32:39.380><c> people</c><00:32:40.279><c> worshiped</c><00:32:42.579><c> cows.</c>

00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:47.700
And<00:32:44.440><c> if</c><00:32:44.859><c> Israel</c><00:32:45.279><c> was</c><00:32:45.500><c> to</c><00:32:45.599><c> go</c><00:32:45.779><c> out</c><00:32:46.339><c> and</c><00:32:46.500><c> have</c><00:32:46.700><c> a</c><00:32:46.880><c> burnt</c><00:32:47.119><c> offering</c>

00:32:47.700 --> 00:32:49.400
of<00:32:48.480><c> cattle,</c>

00:32:49.980 --> 00:32:53.319
Moses<00:32:50.400><c> says,</c><00:32:51.240><c> will</c><00:32:51.339><c> be</c><00:32:51.599><c> the</c><00:32:51.819><c> abomination</c><00:32:52.400><c> of</c><00:32:52.660><c> the</c><00:32:52.880><c> Egyptians.</c>

00:32:53.779 --> 00:32:56.019
And<00:32:53.960><c> he</c><00:32:54.140><c> says,</c><00:32:54.400><c> will</c><00:32:54.579><c> they</c><00:32:54.859><c> not</c><00:32:55.240><c> stone</c><00:32:55.539><c> us?</c>

00:32:56.019 --> 00:32:59.480
And<00:32:56.640><c> so</c><00:32:56.839><c> it</c><00:32:56.960><c> seems</c><00:32:57.259><c> as</c><00:32:57.420><c> though</c><00:32:57.519><c> they</c><00:32:57.680><c> really</c><00:32:58.180><c> couldn't</c><00:32:59.160><c> offer</c>

00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:00.299
in<00:32:59.759><c> the</c><00:32:59.940><c> land</c>

00:33:00.299 --> 00:33:01.839
or<00:33:00.839><c> their</c><00:33:01.000><c> lives</c><00:33:01.259><c> would</c><00:33:01.440><c> be</c><00:33:01.579><c> in</c><00:33:01.680><c> danger.</c>

00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:02.859
It<00:33:01.960><c> would</c><00:33:02.140><c> cause</c><00:33:02.460><c> riots.</c>

00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:05.180
And<00:33:03.259><c> I</c><00:33:03.400><c> suppose</c><00:33:03.640><c> Pharaoh</c><00:33:03.859><c> would</c><00:33:04.000><c> be</c><00:33:04.160><c> very</c><00:33:04.400><c> happy</c><00:33:04.640><c> to</c><00:33:04.799><c> have</c><00:33:04.960><c> his</c>

00:33:05.180 --> 00:33:05.779
slaves<00:33:05.380><c> punished</c>

00:33:05.779 --> 00:33:07.980
and<00:33:06.119><c> put</c><00:33:06.279><c> in</c><00:33:06.420><c> their</c><00:33:06.660><c> place</c><00:33:06.980><c> by</c><00:33:07.339><c> his</c><00:33:07.539><c> own</c><00:33:07.720><c> people.</c>

00:33:08.019 --> 00:33:09.559
And<00:33:08.119><c> he</c><00:33:08.180><c> wouldn't</c><00:33:08.339><c> have</c><00:33:08.519><c> to</c><00:33:08.660><c> do</c><00:33:08.779><c> it.</c>

00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:12.160
But<00:33:10.000><c> Moses</c><00:33:10.339><c> says,</c><00:33:10.619><c> no,</c><00:33:10.799><c> that</c><00:33:10.960><c> would</c><00:33:11.119><c> be</c><00:33:11.319><c> the</c><00:33:11.500><c> abomination</c><00:33:11.960><c> of</c>

00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:12.680
the<00:33:12.319><c> Egyptians.</c>

00:33:13.099 --> 00:33:14.460
We<00:33:13.500><c> couldn't</c><00:33:13.859><c> do</c><00:33:14.099><c> it.</c>

00:33:14.779 --> 00:33:16.400
And<00:33:14.920><c> we</c><00:33:15.099><c> know</c><00:33:15.220><c> that</c><00:33:15.400><c> we</c><00:33:15.519><c> would</c><00:33:15.640><c> get</c><00:33:15.740><c> in</c><00:33:15.920><c> trouble</c><00:33:16.119><c> today</c>

00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:18.539
if<00:33:16.559><c> we</c><00:33:16.720><c> went</c><00:33:16.819><c> into</c><00:33:17.079><c> any</c><00:33:17.319><c> of</c><00:33:17.420><c> the</c><00:33:17.619><c> areas</c><00:33:17.839><c> of</c><00:33:18.019><c> the</c><00:33:18.160><c> world</c>

00:33:18.539 --> 00:33:22.799
where<00:33:19.000><c> cattle</c><00:33:19.319><c> are</c><00:33:19.519><c> worshiped</c><00:33:20.279><c> and</c><00:33:20.720><c> made</c><00:33:20.940><c> use</c><00:33:21.180><c> of</c><00:33:21.299><c> them</c><00:33:21.400><c> as</c><00:33:21.579><c> a</c><00:33:21.839><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:33:22.859 --> 00:33:24.960
We<00:33:23.099><c> find</c><00:33:23.440><c> that</c><00:33:23.619><c> that</c><00:33:23.839><c> would</c><00:33:24.059><c> be</c><00:33:24.440><c> equivalent</c>

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:28.059
to<00:33:25.539><c> putting</c><00:33:25.799><c> one</c><00:33:26.019><c> of</c><00:33:26.160><c> their</c><00:33:26.339><c> gods</c><00:33:26.740><c> to</c><00:33:27.039><c> death.</c>

00:33:28.259 --> 00:33:30.480
And<00:33:28.400><c> they</c><00:33:28.500><c> couldn't</c><00:33:28.720><c> do</c><00:33:28.900><c> it</c><00:33:29.079><c> before</c><00:33:29.319><c> the</c><00:33:29.539><c> Egyptians.</c>

00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:35.579
And<00:33:31.240><c> consequently,</c><00:33:31.799><c> we</c><00:33:31.799><c> read</c><00:33:32.039><c> that</c><00:33:32.700><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:33:33.279><c> heart</c><00:33:33.519><c> was</c><00:33:34.359><c> heartened.</c>

00:33:35.900 --> 00:33:38.440
He<00:33:36.140><c> does</c><00:33:36.299><c> say</c><00:33:36.519><c> one</c><00:33:36.700><c> other</c><00:33:36.940><c> thing</c><00:33:37.119><c> before</c><00:33:37.519><c> then.</c>

00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:41.079
He<00:33:38.640><c> says,</c><00:33:39.000><c> I</c><00:33:39.000><c> will</c><00:33:39.220><c> let</c><00:33:39.400><c> you</c><00:33:39.619><c> go</c><00:33:40.099><c> into</c><00:33:40.640><c> the</c><00:33:40.839><c> wilderness.</c>

00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:43.900
He<00:33:41.299><c> said,</c><00:33:41.599><c> but</c><00:33:41.740><c> just</c><00:33:42.099><c> don't</c><00:33:42.279><c> go</c><00:33:42.440><c> very</c><00:33:42.779><c> far</c><00:33:43.059><c> away.</c>

00:33:44.019 --> 00:33:46.259
Well,<00:33:44.220><c> that</c><00:33:44.539><c> wasn't</c><00:33:44.859><c> acceptable</c><00:33:45.359><c> either.</c>

00:33:46.460 --> 00:33:48.640
Moses<00:33:46.680><c> said,</c><00:33:46.960><c> look,</c><00:33:47.559><c> God</c><00:33:47.779><c> has</c><00:33:48.039><c> told</c><00:33:48.180><c> us</c>

00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:50.680
that<00:33:49.019><c> we're</c><00:33:49.200><c> going</c><00:33:49.259><c> to</c><00:33:49.400><c> have</c><00:33:49.519><c> to</c><00:33:49.660><c> offer</c><00:33:49.900><c> where</c><00:33:50.059><c> he</c><00:33:50.279><c> wants</c><00:33:50.500><c> us</c>

00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:51.119
to<00:33:50.940><c> offer.</c>

00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:53.519
And<00:33:51.460><c> of</c><00:33:51.660><c> course,</c><00:33:52.119><c> Moses</c><00:33:52.180><c> already</c><00:33:52.539><c> knew</c><00:33:52.680><c> where</c><00:33:52.799><c> that</c><00:33:52.940><c> was</c><00:33:53.079><c> going</c><00:33:53.240><c> to</c><00:33:53.339><c> be.</c>

00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:55.640
He<00:33:53.960><c> knew</c><00:33:54.140><c> they</c><00:33:54.299><c> were</c><00:33:54.420><c> going</c><00:33:54.539><c> to</c><00:33:54.640><c> go</c><00:33:54.759><c> all</c><00:33:55.000><c> the</c><00:33:55.059><c> way</c><00:33:55.160><c> to</c><00:33:55.359><c> Sinai.</c>

00:33:55.819 --> 00:33:57.940
He'd<00:33:56.059><c> been</c><00:33:56.200><c> told</c><00:33:56.380><c> by</c><00:33:56.599><c> the</c><00:33:56.740><c> Lord</c><00:33:56.880><c> even</c><00:33:57.099><c> before</c><00:33:57.480><c> that.</c>

00:33:58.299 --> 00:33:59.700
So<00:33:58.500><c> he</c><00:33:58.640><c> knew</c><00:33:58.759><c> it</c><00:33:58.900><c> was</c><00:33:59.059><c> going</c><00:33:59.160><c> to</c><00:33:59.259><c> be</c><00:33:59.420><c> there.</c>

00:33:59.940 --> 00:34:01.140
But<00:34:00.079><c> he</c><00:34:00.180><c> hadn't</c><00:34:00.440><c> told</c><00:34:00.680><c> Pharaoh</c><00:34:00.920><c> there.</c>

00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:04.039
But<00:34:01.380><c> Pharaoh</c><00:34:01.559><c> says,</c><00:34:02.220><c> don't</c><00:34:02.319><c> go</c><00:34:02.559><c> very</c><00:34:02.980><c> far.</c>

00:34:04.500 --> 00:34:06.519
That's<00:34:04.940><c> not</c><00:34:05.160><c> acceptable</c><00:34:05.559><c> either.</c>

00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:09.380
Consequently,<00:34:07.660><c> along</c><00:34:07.660><c> comes</c><00:34:08.039><c> plague</c><00:34:08.320><c> number</c><00:34:08.760><c> five,</c>

00:34:09.699 --> 00:34:12.320
the<00:34:09.940><c> plague</c><00:34:10.199><c> of</c><00:34:10.480><c> Moraine</c><00:34:10.940><c> on</c><00:34:11.119><c> the</c><00:34:11.360><c> livestock.</c>

00:34:12.739 --> 00:34:17.019
Now<00:34:12.960><c> remember,</c><00:34:14.659><c> they</c><00:34:14.980><c> had</c><00:34:15.300><c> just</c><00:34:15.659><c> been</c><00:34:15.880><c> offered</c><00:34:16.179><c> the</c><00:34:16.420><c> opportunity</c>

00:34:17.019 --> 00:34:18.059
to<00:34:17.320><c> offer</c><00:34:17.579><c> in</c><00:34:17.719><c> the</c><00:34:17.900><c> land.</c>

00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:21.840
And<00:34:18.199><c> Moses</c><00:34:18.519><c> said,</c><00:34:19.139><c> we</c><00:34:19.239><c> can't</c><00:34:19.900><c> offer</c><00:34:20.239><c> cattle</c><00:34:20.639><c> in</c><00:34:20.820><c> the</c><00:34:21.019><c> land</c>

00:34:21.980 --> 00:34:25.059
because<00:34:22.420><c> if</c><00:34:22.639><c> we</c><00:34:22.780><c> do,</c><00:34:23.079><c> that</c><00:34:23.119><c> will</c><00:34:23.340><c> be</c><00:34:23.539><c> the</c><00:34:23.679><c> abomination</c><00:34:24.179><c> of</c><00:34:24.440><c> the</c><00:34:24.619><c> Egyptians.</c>

00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:29.800
And<00:34:25.599><c> now</c><00:34:25.960><c> the</c><00:34:26.099><c> very</c><00:34:26.460><c> next</c><00:34:26.880><c> plague</c><00:34:27.360><c> is</c><00:34:28.059><c> Moraine</c><00:34:28.599><c> on</c><00:34:29.019><c> the</c><00:34:29.219><c> livestock,</c>

00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:32.579
particularly<00:34:31.000><c> on</c><00:34:31.539><c> the</c><00:34:31.780><c> cattle.</c>

00:34:32.619 --> 00:34:36.139
And<00:34:32.760><c> here</c><00:34:33.039><c> we</c><00:34:33.320><c> have</c><00:34:33.900><c> a</c><00:34:34.260><c> contest</c><00:34:34.699><c> with</c><00:34:35.039><c> another</c><00:34:35.300><c> god.</c>

00:34:36.219 --> 00:34:38.440
And<00:34:36.380><c> this</c><00:34:36.619><c> god's</c><00:34:37.039><c> name</c><00:34:37.239><c> is</c><00:34:37.460><c> Ephisi.</c>

00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:43.340
And<00:34:39.960><c> at</c><00:34:40.139><c> that</c><00:34:40.400><c> time,</c><00:34:41.059><c> one</c><00:34:41.980><c> of</c><00:34:42.099><c> the</c><00:34:42.260><c> principal</c><00:34:42.500><c> gods</c><00:34:42.800><c> they</c><00:34:43.039><c> worship</c>

00:34:43.340 --> 00:34:45.300
was<00:34:43.539><c> known</c><00:34:43.820><c> as</c><00:34:44.219><c> the</c><00:34:44.440><c> Black</c><00:34:44.880><c> Bull.</c>

00:34:45.300 --> 00:34:50.260
It<00:34:45.460><c> was</c><00:34:46.619><c> the</c><00:34:46.780><c> second</c><00:34:47.400><c> largest</c><00:34:48.079><c> temple</c><00:34:48.659><c> in</c><00:34:49.400><c> the</c><00:34:49.639><c> capital</c><00:34:49.960><c> city</c>

00:34:50.260 --> 00:34:51.360
of<00:34:50.400><c> Memphis,</c>

00:34:51.659 --> 00:34:52.599
the<00:34:51.920><c> Black</c><00:34:52.320><c> Bull.</c>

00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:53.980
And<00:34:52.760><c> they</c><00:34:52.960><c> worshiped</c><00:34:53.440><c> him</c><00:34:53.639><c> there.</c>

00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:57.519
And<00:34:54.440><c> you</c><00:34:54.619><c> remember,</c><00:34:54.840><c> it</c><00:34:54.880><c> wasn't</c><00:34:55.360><c> very</c><00:34:56.300><c> long</c><00:34:56.679><c> after</c><00:34:57.119><c> the</c><00:34:57.320><c> children</c>

00:34:57.519 --> 00:34:59.000
of<00:34:57.699><c> Israel</c><00:34:57.940><c> had</c><00:34:58.119><c> got</c><00:34:58.219><c> into</c><00:34:58.440><c> the</c><00:34:58.599><c> wilderness</c>

00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:02.699
that<00:34:59.780><c> they</c><00:35:00.059><c> themselves</c><00:35:00.920><c> erected</c><00:35:01.719><c> a</c><00:35:01.940><c> golden</c><00:35:02.340><c> calf.</c>

00:35:02.780 --> 00:35:04.219
We'll<00:35:02.900><c> get</c><00:35:03.099><c> to</c><00:35:03.179><c> that</c><00:35:03.340><c> later</c><00:35:03.619><c> in</c><00:35:03.760><c> the</c><00:35:03.880><c> week.</c>

00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:06.340
But<00:35:04.860><c> they</c><00:35:05.019><c> were</c><00:35:05.139><c> very</c><00:35:05.360><c> well</c><00:35:05.599><c> acquainted</c><00:35:05.860><c> with</c><00:35:06.059><c> the</c><00:35:06.159><c> worship</c>

00:35:06.340 --> 00:35:07.900

00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:11.079
The<00:35:08.679><c> Egyptians</c><00:35:09.119><c> felt</c><00:35:09.480><c> that</c><00:35:09.639><c> it</c><00:35:09.760><c> was</c><00:35:10.039><c> a</c><00:35:10.219><c> god.</c>

00:35:11.300 --> 00:35:14.780
And<00:35:11.780><c> we</c><00:35:12.019><c> find</c><00:35:12.340><c> that</c><00:35:13.019><c> the</c><00:35:13.420><c> Egyptians</c><00:35:14.039><c> now,</c>

00:35:14.940 --> 00:35:18.119
once<00:35:15.260><c> the</c><00:35:15.500><c> Moraine</c><00:35:15.940><c> has</c><00:35:16.099><c> been</c><00:35:16.300><c> brought</c><00:35:16.559><c> upon</c><00:35:16.860><c> their</c><00:35:17.179><c> cattle,</c>

00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:21.380

00:35:21.460 --> 00:35:24.260
many<00:35:21.699><c> of</c><00:35:21.880><c> them</c><00:35:21.980><c> are</c><00:35:22.219><c> sick,</c><00:35:23.000><c> and</c><00:35:23.099><c> many</c><00:35:23.300><c> are</c><00:35:23.460><c> becoming</c><00:35:23.820><c> sickly,</c>

00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:27.380
which<00:35:24.420><c> shows</c><00:35:24.699><c> that</c><00:35:25.239><c> these</c><00:35:25.599><c> plagues</c><00:35:25.880><c> lasted</c><00:35:26.300><c> a</c><00:35:26.460><c> period</c><00:35:26.699><c> of</c><00:35:26.960><c> time.</c>

00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:29.579
Chances<00:35:28.119><c> are</c><00:35:28.260><c> pretty</c><00:35:28.519><c> good</c><00:35:28.639><c> that</c><00:35:28.800><c> the</c><00:35:28.920><c> whole</c><00:35:29.099><c> 10</c><00:35:29.320><c> plagues</c>

00:35:32.460 --> 00:35:34.199
It<00:35:32.579><c> wasn't</c><00:35:32.900><c> something</c><00:35:33.219><c> that</c><00:35:33.500><c> happened</c><00:35:33.719><c> overnight.</c>

00:35:36.139 --> 00:35:37.280
We<00:35:36.340><c> want</c><00:35:36.579><c> the</c><00:35:36.739><c> Lord</c><00:35:36.880><c> to</c><00:35:37.119><c> come.</c>

00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:39.480
We<00:35:37.599><c> want</c><00:35:37.800><c> everything</c><00:35:38.099><c> to</c><00:35:38.239><c> be</c><00:35:38.440><c> over</c><00:35:38.579><c> and</c><00:35:38.699><c> the</c><00:35:38.860><c> kingdom</c><00:35:39.099><c> set</c><00:35:39.340><c> up</c>

Isn't<00:35:42.460><c> this</c><00:35:42.679><c> about</c><00:35:42.920><c> right?</c>

00:35:43.579 --> 00:35:44.719
It's<00:35:43.860><c> going</c><00:35:43.980><c> to</c><00:35:44.119><c> take</c><00:35:44.280><c> a</c><00:35:44.340><c> little</c><00:35:44.579><c> while.</c>

We<00:35:44.820><c> don't</c><00:35:45.019><c> know</c><00:35:45.139><c> just</c><00:35:45.360><c> when</c><00:35:45.519><c> the</c><00:35:45.619><c> Lord</c><00:35:45.760><c> has</c><00:35:46.019><c> come.</c>

00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:51.019
But<00:35:46.599><c> when</c><00:35:46.820><c> he</c><00:35:47.000><c> comes,</c><00:35:47.780><c> even</c><00:35:48.039><c> then,</c><00:35:48.840><c> things</c><00:35:49.079><c> are</c><00:35:49.300><c> going</c><00:35:49.460><c> to</c><00:35:49.639><c> take</c><00:35:49.840><c> a</c><00:35:50.039><c> while.</c>

00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:54.099
And<00:35:51.119><c> he's</c><00:35:51.440><c> going</c><00:35:51.659><c> to</c><00:35:51.940><c> do</c><00:35:52.260><c> things</c><00:35:52.559><c> in</c><00:35:52.719><c> his</c><00:35:53.019><c> own</c><00:35:53.260><c> good</c><00:35:53.559><c> time</c>

00:35:54.099 --> 00:35:56.880
until<00:35:54.760><c> finally</c><00:35:55.179><c> his</c><00:35:55.420><c> kingdom</c><00:35:55.820><c> extends</c><00:35:56.380><c> throughout</c><00:35:56.780><c> the</c>

00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:57.400
whole<00:35:57.139><c> earth.</c>

00:35:57.820 --> 00:36:01.079
It<00:35:57.980><c> isn't</c><00:35:58.260><c> something</c><00:35:58.699><c> that</c><00:35:59.139><c> happens</c><00:35:59.400><c> at</c><00:35:59.579><c> the</c><00:35:59.760><c> snap</c><00:35:59.920><c> of</c><00:36:00.119><c> a</c><00:36:00.280><c> finger.</c>

00:36:01.579 --> 00:36:03.780
It<00:36:01.780><c> didn't</c><00:36:02.059><c> happen</c><00:36:02.360><c> here</c><00:36:02.619><c> at</c><00:36:02.800><c> the</c><00:36:02.980><c> snap</c><00:36:03.139><c> of</c><00:36:03.360><c> a</c><00:36:03.480><c> finger.</c>

00:36:04.219 --> 00:36:05.840
And<00:36:04.480><c> here</c><00:36:04.719><c> we</c><00:36:04.980><c> find</c><00:36:05.260><c> the</c><00:36:05.500><c> Egyptian.</c>

00:36:05.940 --> 00:36:07.980
Here's<00:36:06.260><c> this</c><00:36:06.400><c> poor</c><00:36:06.639><c> Egyptian</c><00:36:07.059><c> farmer.</c>

00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:10.880
His<00:36:09.199><c> cattle</c><00:36:09.719><c> are</c><00:36:09.880><c> as</c><00:36:10.039><c> well.</c>

00:36:11.219 --> 00:36:12.659
And<00:36:11.360><c> also</c><00:36:11.659><c> he</c><00:36:11.860><c> worships</c><00:36:12.260><c> them.</c>

00:36:13.099 --> 00:36:14.179
And<00:36:13.260><c> now</c><00:36:13.519><c> they're</c><00:36:13.820><c> dying.</c>

00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:16.880
We<00:36:14.539><c> find</c><00:36:14.739><c> them</c><00:36:14.920><c> lying</c><00:36:15.179><c> all</c><00:36:15.500><c> around</c><00:36:15.679><c> along</c><00:36:15.920><c> with</c><00:36:16.099><c> his</c><00:36:16.260><c> other</c><00:36:16.480><c> livestock.</c>

00:36:17.380 --> 00:36:19.840
And<00:36:17.519><c> those</c><00:36:17.719><c> that</c><00:36:17.920><c> aren't</c><00:36:18.119><c> dead</c><00:36:18.340><c> might</c><00:36:18.599><c> as</c><00:36:18.800><c> well</c><00:36:18.980><c> be.</c>

00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:21.579
They<00:36:20.119><c> look</c><00:36:20.300><c> pretty</c><00:36:20.619><c> terrible.</c>

00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:25.360
And<00:36:22.019><c> so</c><00:36:22.179><c> what</c><00:36:22.420><c> do</c><00:36:22.619><c> we</c><00:36:22.760><c> find</c><00:36:23.019><c> the</c><00:36:23.280><c> Egyptians</c><00:36:23.679><c> now</c><00:36:24.159><c> worshiping?</c>

00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:28.059
They're<00:36:26.380><c> worshiping</c><00:36:26.780><c> a</c><00:36:26.940><c> sick</c><00:36:27.119><c> cow.</c>

00:36:28.699 --> 00:36:29.980
That's<00:36:29.019><c> what</c><00:36:29.179><c> their</c><00:36:29.360><c> God</c><00:36:29.519><c> is.</c>

00:36:30.260 --> 00:36:33.079
And<00:36:30.559><c> it</c><00:36:30.739><c> begins</c><00:36:31.059><c> to</c><00:36:31.320><c> make</c><00:36:31.599><c> the</c><00:36:31.880><c> whole</c><00:36:32.119><c> idea</c><00:36:32.500><c> of</c><00:36:32.719><c> Egyptian</c>

00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:36.639
worship<00:36:33.659><c> absolutely</c><00:36:35.219><c> ridiculous.</c>

00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:39.460
Can<00:36:37.280><c> you</c><00:36:37.500><c> imagine</c><00:36:38.099><c> the</c><00:36:38.840><c> Egyptians?</c>

00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:43.079
They'd<00:36:40.039><c> have</c><00:36:40.239><c> to</c><00:36:40.480><c> realize</c><00:36:41.039><c> that</c><00:36:41.699><c> they're</c><00:36:42.039><c> now</c><00:36:42.280><c> worshiping</c><00:36:42.820><c> a</c>

00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:44.260
sick<00:36:43.360><c> cow.</c>

00:36:44.860 --> 00:36:46.880
Well,<00:36:45.019><c> what's</c><00:36:45.460><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:36:45.860><c> reaction?</c>

00:36:48.179 --> 00:36:50.679
He<00:36:48.480><c> hears</c><00:36:48.659><c> something</c><00:36:49.059><c> from</c><00:36:49.420><c> the</c><00:36:49.559><c> land</c><00:36:49.760><c> of</c><00:36:49.900><c> Goshen.</c>

00:36:51.099 --> 00:36:54.360
And<00:36:51.300><c> that</c><00:36:51.480><c> is</c><00:36:51.719><c> that</c><00:36:52.719><c> none</c><00:36:52.980><c> of</c><00:36:53.139><c> the</c><00:36:53.400><c> Israelite</c><00:36:53.880><c> cattle,</c>

a<00:36:54.659><c> livestock,</c><00:36:55.239><c> are</c><00:36:55.420><c> affected</c><00:36:55.840><c> by</c><00:36:56.099><c> this</c><00:36:56.380><c> moraine.</c>

00:36:57.840 --> 00:36:59.539
And<00:36:58.119><c> it's</c><00:36:58.360><c> got</c><00:36:58.460><c> to</c><00:36:58.579><c> make</c><00:36:58.679><c> him</c><00:36:58.900><c> stop</c><00:36:59.139><c> and</c><00:36:59.400><c> think.</c>

00:36:59.739 --> 00:37:03.199
He<00:37:00.039><c> was</c><00:37:00.400><c> told</c><00:37:01.159><c> that</c><00:37:02.019><c> there</c><00:37:02.159><c> would</c><00:37:02.340><c> be</c><00:37:02.500><c> a</c><00:37:02.679><c> difference</c><00:37:02.920><c> made</c>

00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:05.679
between<00:37:03.500><c> the</c><00:37:03.739><c> Egyptians</c><00:37:04.059><c> and</c><00:37:04.519><c> the</c><00:37:04.840><c> Hebrews.</c>

00:37:05.780 --> 00:37:08.639
And<00:37:06.059><c> he</c><00:37:06.260><c> can</c><00:37:06.619><c> see</c><00:37:06.780><c> it</c><00:37:06.900><c> by</c><00:37:07.059><c> the</c><00:37:07.219><c> reports</c><00:37:07.500><c> that</c><00:37:07.659><c> are</c><00:37:07.780><c> coming</c><00:37:07.960><c> into</c><00:37:08.239><c> him</c>

00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:12.599
that<00:37:09.099><c> none</c><00:37:09.380><c> of</c><00:37:09.519><c> the</c><00:37:09.780><c> Israelite</c><00:37:10.280><c> livestock</c><00:37:11.360><c> is</c><00:37:11.719><c> dead.</c>

00:37:13.019 --> 00:37:15.719
But<00:37:13.260><c> nevertheless,</c><00:37:13.940><c> we</c><00:37:14.079><c> find</c><00:37:14.420><c> that</c><00:37:14.699><c> the</c><00:37:14.960><c> heart</c><00:37:15.179><c> of</c><00:37:15.559><c> Pharaoh</c>

00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:16.659
was<00:37:16.139><c> hardened.</c>

00:37:17.099 --> 00:37:19.880
And<00:37:17.340><c> he</c><00:37:17.559><c> wouldn't</c><00:37:17.820><c> let</c><00:37:18.019><c> the</c><00:37:18.199><c> children</c><00:37:18.420><c> of</c><00:37:18.639><c> Israel</c><00:37:18.900><c> go.</c>

00:37:20.300 --> 00:37:23.079
And<00:37:20.539><c> then</c><00:37:20.760><c> comes</c><00:37:21.480><c> the</c><00:37:21.920><c> sixth</c><00:37:22.239><c> play.</c>

00:37:23.420 --> 00:37:28.019
The<00:37:23.679><c> final</c><00:37:24.000><c> one</c><00:37:24.300><c> of</c><00:37:24.639><c> this</c><00:37:25.019><c> set</c><00:37:25.280><c> of</c><00:37:25.699><c> three</c><00:37:26.059><c> against</c><00:37:26.840><c> the</c><00:37:27.179><c> earth,</c>

00:37:32.099 --> 00:37:34.559
And<00:37:32.340><c> this</c><00:37:32.559><c> god</c><00:37:32.820><c> is</c><00:37:33.039><c> the</c><00:37:33.239><c> god</c><00:37:33.500><c> Typhon.</c>

00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:37.980
Perhaps<00:37:35.400><c> that</c><00:37:35.840><c> name</c><00:37:36.099><c> is</c><00:37:36.360><c> a</c><00:37:36.460><c> little</c><00:37:36.780><c> bit</c><00:37:37.039><c> familiar</c><00:37:37.380><c> to</c><00:37:37.619><c> us.</c>

00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:40.360
We<00:37:38.420><c> may</c><00:37:38.639><c> have</c><00:37:38.780><c> heard</c><00:37:38.980><c> of</c><00:37:39.119><c> the</c><00:37:39.280><c> god</c><00:37:39.460><c> Typhon.</c>

00:37:40.460 --> 00:37:43.559
And<00:37:40.619><c> this</c><00:37:40.760><c> is</c><00:37:40.940><c> an</c><00:37:41.139><c> evil</c><00:37:41.340><c> god,</c><00:37:42.260><c> one</c><00:37:42.400><c> of</c><00:37:42.539><c> the</c><00:37:42.639><c> gods</c><00:37:42.920><c> of</c><00:37:43.139><c> evil</c><00:37:43.340><c> of</c>

00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:07.000
They<00:38:03.500><c> found</c><00:38:03.840><c> that</c><00:38:04.340><c> human</c><00:38:04.599><c> worship</c><00:38:04.980><c> was</c><00:38:05.719><c> practiced</c><00:38:06.159><c> there</c><00:38:06.460><c> in</c><00:38:06.619><c> Egypt.</c>

00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:14.659
He's<00:38:10.139><c> told</c><00:38:10.519><c> to</c><00:38:10.820><c> go</c><00:38:11.039><c> to</c><00:38:11.159><c> the</c><00:38:11.320><c> furnace,</c><00:38:12.579><c> not</c><00:38:12.820><c> to</c><00:38:13.019><c> go</c><00:38:13.219><c> to</c><00:38:13.440><c> a</c><00:38:13.760><c> furnace,</c>

00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:19.079
to<00:38:14.840><c> go</c><00:38:15.139><c> to</c><00:38:15.460><c> the</c><00:38:15.800><c> furnace,</c><00:38:16.920><c> a</c><00:38:17.219><c> particular</c><00:38:17.980><c> furnace</c><00:38:18.420><c> that</c><00:38:18.579><c> he</c><00:38:18.760><c> was</c><00:38:18.940><c> to</c>

00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:19.500
go<00:38:19.280><c> to,</c>

00:38:19.699 --> 00:38:23.860
which<00:38:19.840><c> was</c><00:38:20.199><c> undoubtedly</c><00:38:20.800><c> this</c><00:38:21.480><c> furnace</c><00:38:21.920><c> where</c><00:38:22.380><c> human</c><00:38:22.699><c> sacrifice</c><00:38:23.300><c> was</c><00:38:23.579><c> offered.</c>

00:38:24.059 --> 00:38:27.219
Now,<00:38:24.280><c> why</c><00:38:24.539><c> would</c><00:38:24.760><c> human</c><00:38:25.019><c> sacrifice</c><00:38:25.539><c> be</c><00:38:25.800><c> offered</c><00:38:26.000><c> at</c><00:38:26.179><c> this</c><00:38:26.420><c> time?</c>

00:38:27.300 --> 00:38:29.159
Why<00:38:27.559><c> would</c><00:38:27.800><c> prayer</c><00:38:28.039><c> be</c><00:38:28.320><c> made?</c>

00:38:29.300 --> 00:38:31.460
Probably<00:38:29.760><c> for</c><00:38:29.980><c> a</c><00:38:30.119><c> very</c><00:38:30.340><c> good</c><00:38:30.519><c> reason.</c>

00:38:31.699 --> 00:38:34.699
Undoubtedly,<00:38:32.360><c> the</c><00:38:32.519><c> Egyptians</c><00:38:33.099><c> would</c><00:38:33.659><c> be</c><00:38:33.880><c> making</c><00:38:34.199><c> obeisance</c>

00:38:34.699 --> 00:38:35.579
to<00:38:34.900><c> their</c><00:38:35.179><c> gods</c>

00:38:35.579 --> 00:38:38.079
to<00:38:35.960><c> ask</c><00:38:36.179><c> for</c><00:38:36.380><c> their</c><00:38:36.599><c> help</c><00:38:36.860><c> to</c><00:38:37.219><c> overcome</c><00:38:37.639><c> the</c><00:38:37.900><c> plagues</c>

00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:40.780
that<00:38:38.260><c> have</c><00:38:38.360><c> been</c><00:38:38.460><c> brought</c><00:38:38.679><c> on</c><00:38:38.860><c> by</c><00:38:39.099><c> Yahweh,</c><00:38:39.360><c> the</c><00:38:39.480><c> god</c><00:38:39.639><c> of</c><00:38:39.760><c> Israel.</c>

00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:45.599
It<00:38:41.099><c> would</c><00:38:41.280><c> be</c><00:38:41.539><c> quite</c><00:38:41.860><c> proper</c><00:38:42.400><c> that</c><00:38:42.940><c> they</c><00:38:43.159><c> would</c><00:38:43.400><c> be</c><00:38:44.059><c> offering</c><00:38:44.639><c> sacrifices</c>

00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:47.760
to<00:38:45.920><c> the</c><00:38:46.119><c> gods</c><00:38:46.300><c> that</c><00:38:46.460><c> they</c><00:38:46.719><c> thought</c><00:38:46.920><c> could</c><00:38:47.179><c> help</c><00:38:47.440><c> them.</c>

00:38:48.260 --> 00:38:49.280
They<00:38:48.519><c> would</c><00:38:48.719><c> do</c><00:38:48.960><c> so.</c>

00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:50.780
But<00:38:49.599><c> would</c><00:38:49.760><c> those</c><00:38:50.059><c> gods</c><00:38:50.320><c> help?</c>

00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:52.119
Not<00:38:51.579><c> at</c><00:38:51.780><c> all.</c>

00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:56.300
Instead,<00:38:53.059><c> we</c><00:38:53.179><c> find</c><00:38:53.460><c> that</c><00:38:53.659><c> when</c><00:38:53.880><c> Moses</c><00:38:54.300><c> goes</c><00:38:54.780><c> to</c><00:38:55.559><c> the</c><00:38:55.820><c> furnace,</c>

00:38:56.739 --> 00:38:59.539
and<00:38:56.920><c> undoubtedly</c><00:38:57.320><c> it's</c><00:38:57.599><c> that</c><00:38:57.860><c> very</c><00:38:58.260><c> furnace</c><00:38:58.699><c> where</c><00:38:59.260><c> human</c>

00:38:59.539 --> 00:39:00.739
sacrifice<00:39:00.119><c> was</c><00:39:00.420><c> offered,</c>

00:39:00.739 --> 00:39:04.320
he's<00:39:01.320><c> told</c><00:39:01.500><c> to</c><00:39:01.679><c> take</c><00:39:01.860><c> the</c><00:39:02.119><c> ashes</c><00:39:02.500><c> and</c><00:39:03.239><c> he's</c><00:39:03.539><c> to</c><00:39:03.760><c> throw</c><00:39:04.000><c> them</c><00:39:04.159><c> up</c>

00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:05.159
into<00:39:04.500><c> the</c><00:39:04.719><c> air.</c>

00:39:05.500 --> 00:39:06.980
And<00:39:05.699><c> he</c><00:39:05.860><c> does</c><00:39:06.119><c> it.</c>

00:39:07.179 --> 00:39:11.320
And<00:39:07.360><c> as</c><00:39:07.559><c> they</c><00:39:07.780><c> drift</c><00:39:08.039><c> down,</c><00:39:08.619><c> we</c><00:39:08.639><c> find</c><00:39:08.960><c> that</c><00:39:10.280><c> the</c><00:39:10.619><c> people</c><00:39:11.019><c> of</c>

00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:14.179
Egypt<00:39:12.019><c> break</c><00:39:12.800><c> out</c><00:39:13.019><c> with</c><00:39:13.260><c> boils.</c>

00:39:14.420 --> 00:39:16.039
Oh,<00:39:14.699><c> that's</c><00:39:15.039><c> a</c><00:39:15.199><c> problem.</c>

00:39:17.340 --> 00:39:21.079
The<00:39:17.480><c> people</c><00:39:17.820><c> of</c><00:39:18.000><c> Egypt</c><00:39:18.539><c> claimed</c><00:39:18.980><c> that</c><00:39:19.239><c> they</c><00:39:19.420><c> were</c><00:39:19.920><c> righteous</c>

00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:26.159
and<00:39:21.780><c> that</c><00:39:22.059><c> their</c><00:39:22.679><c> physical</c><00:39:23.340><c> purity</c><00:39:24.179><c> represented</c><00:39:25.519><c> their</c>

00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:28.159
spiritual<00:39:26.940><c> purity.</c>

00:39:28.300 --> 00:39:32.519
And<00:39:28.639><c> consequently,</c><00:39:29.960><c> when</c><00:39:30.199><c> Janus</c><00:39:30.500><c> and</c><00:39:30.679><c> Jambres</c><00:39:31.280><c> have</c><00:39:32.019><c> a</c><00:39:32.219><c> problem,</c>

00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:35.119
they<00:39:32.699><c> cannot</c><00:39:33.059><c> stand</c><00:39:33.420><c> before</c><00:39:33.780><c> Moses</c><00:39:34.280><c> or</c><00:39:34.840><c> Pharaoh.</c>

00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:38.159
In<00:39:35.559><c> order</c><00:39:35.780><c> to</c><00:39:35.880><c> come</c><00:39:36.019><c> in</c><00:39:36.239><c> before</c><00:39:36.500><c> Pharaoh,</c><00:39:37.340><c> a</c><00:39:37.440><c> person</c><00:39:37.739><c> had</c><00:39:38.000><c> to</c>

be<00:39:38.619><c> absolutely</c><00:39:39.460><c> pure.</c>

00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:43.980
Do<00:39:40.340><c> you</c><00:39:40.360><c> remember</c><00:39:40.760><c> back</c><00:39:41.260><c> when</c><00:39:41.920><c> Joseph</c><00:39:42.320><c> was</c><00:39:42.539><c> taken</c><00:39:42.800><c> out</c><00:39:42.980><c> of</c><00:39:43.059><c> the</c><00:39:43.239><c> present?</c>

00:39:44.380 --> 00:39:45.280
It's<00:39:44.639><c> said</c><00:39:44.739><c> he</c><00:39:44.940><c> shaved.</c>

00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:46.920
It<00:39:45.440><c> wasn't</c><00:39:45.699><c> with</c><00:39:45.900><c> an</c><00:39:46.019><c> alco.</c>

00:39:47.340 --> 00:39:50.300
But<00:39:47.639><c> he</c><00:39:47.800><c> said</c><00:39:47.900><c> he</c><00:39:48.000><c> took</c><00:39:48.179><c> him</c><00:39:48.320><c> out</c><00:39:48.460><c> of</c><00:39:48.539><c> the</c><00:39:48.719><c> present</c><00:39:48.940><c> and</c><00:39:49.159><c> he</c><00:39:49.460><c> shaved.</c>

00:39:50.460 --> 00:39:54.340
In<00:39:50.659><c> fact,</c><00:39:50.880><c> he</c><00:39:50.980><c> had</c><00:39:51.159><c> to</c><00:39:51.420><c> shave</c><00:39:51.739><c> every</c><00:39:52.440><c> hair,</c><00:39:53.199><c> not</c><00:39:53.500><c> just</c><00:39:53.840><c> on</c><00:39:54.039><c> his</c>

00:39:56.300 --> 00:40:01.099
Because<00:39:57.119><c> the</c><00:39:57.400><c> idea</c><00:39:57.800><c> is</c><00:39:58.199><c> that</c><00:39:58.380><c> hair</c><00:39:58.840><c> could</c><00:39:59.519><c> hide</c><00:40:00.119><c> imperfections.</c>

00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:06.039
But<00:40:01.519><c> once</c><00:40:01.780><c> a</c><00:40:01.880><c> person</c><00:40:02.199><c> was</c><00:40:02.579><c> shaved,</c><00:40:04.199><c> then</c><00:40:04.199><c> any</c><00:40:04.619><c> imperfections</c>

they<00:40:06.179><c> had</c><00:40:06.519><c> would</c><00:40:06.780><c> be</c><00:40:06.940><c> right</c><00:40:07.159><c> out</c><00:40:07.360><c> in</c><00:40:07.460><c> the</c><00:40:07.559><c> open.</c>

00:40:08.940 --> 00:40:11.800
And<00:40:09.179><c> all</c><00:40:09.380><c> of</c><00:40:09.539><c> a</c><00:40:09.599><c> sudden,</c><00:40:09.820><c> the</c><00:40:09.960><c> people</c><00:40:10.179><c> are</c><00:40:10.480><c> smitten</c><00:40:10.719><c> with</c><00:40:10.960><c> boils.</c>

00:40:12.219 --> 00:40:14.719
Pharaoh<00:40:12.559><c> too,</c><00:40:13.360><c> right</c><00:40:13.579><c> on</c><00:40:13.860><c> down.</c>

00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:17.119
And<00:40:15.099><c> instead</c><00:40:15.500><c> of</c><00:40:15.739><c> showing</c><00:40:15.980><c> that</c><00:40:16.139><c> they</c><00:40:16.360><c> were</c><00:40:16.619><c> righteous,</c>

00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:21.239
it<00:40:17.539><c> was</c><00:40:17.739><c> showing</c><00:40:18.039><c> that</c><00:40:18.420><c> they</c><00:40:18.619><c> were</c><00:40:19.000><c> absolutely</c><00:40:19.820><c> unrighteous.</c>

00:40:21.380 --> 00:40:23.460
And<00:40:21.579><c> you</c><00:40:21.699><c> know</c><00:40:21.820><c> what</c><00:40:22.019><c> caused</c><00:40:22.360><c> the</c><00:40:22.539><c> eruption</c><00:40:22.860><c> of</c><00:40:23.039><c> a</c><00:40:23.219><c> boil?</c>

00:40:23.460 --> 00:40:28.679
It's<00:40:24.360><c> an</c><00:40:24.539><c> imperfection</c><00:40:25.320><c> from</c><00:40:25.699><c> within</c><00:40:26.139><c> our</c><00:40:26.460><c> bodies</c><00:40:26.900><c> that</c><00:40:27.719><c> breaks</c><00:40:28.099><c> out.</c>

00:40:33.539 --> 00:40:39.019

It<00:40:40.179><c> was</c><00:40:40.340><c> a</c><00:40:40.420><c> bit</c><00:40:40.519><c> of</c><00:40:40.719><c> a</c><00:40:40.880><c> problem.</c>

00:40:41.739 --> 00:40:44.179
And<00:40:42.059><c> how</c><00:40:42.260><c> is</c><00:40:42.440><c> this</c><00:40:42.679><c> going</c><00:40:42.860><c> to</c><00:40:43.039><c> be</c><00:40:43.260><c> handled?</c>

00:40:44.340 --> 00:40:44.920
They<00:40:44.539><c> couldn't.</c>

00:40:45.219 --> 00:40:47.119
They<00:40:45.219><c> couldn't,</c><00:40:45.719><c> the</c><00:40:45.880><c> Janus</c><00:40:46.099><c> and</c><00:40:46.260><c> Jambres</c><00:40:46.559><c> couldn't</c><00:40:46.820><c> stand</c>

before<00:40:47.440><c> Moses.</c>

00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:51.860
And<00:40:48.579><c> it</c><00:40:48.679><c> was</c><00:40:48.880><c> a</c><00:40:49.000><c> tremendous</c><00:40:49.360><c> problem</c><00:40:49.920><c> for</c><00:40:50.539><c> the</c><00:40:50.820><c> Egyptians.</c>

00:40:52.539 --> 00:40:56.519
And<00:40:53.139><c> consequently,</c><00:40:54.599><c> the</c><00:40:54.679><c> magicians</c><00:40:55.099><c> had</c><00:40:55.340><c> to</c><00:40:55.559><c> remove</c><00:40:55.780><c> themselves</c><00:40:56.239><c> from</c>

00:40:56.519 --> 00:40:57.579
the<00:40:56.699><c> scene.</c>

00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:01.039
And<00:40:58.699><c> now,</c><00:40:58.940><c> nevertheless,</c><00:40:59.719><c> we</c><00:40:59.739><c> find</c><00:41:00.079><c> that</c><00:41:00.360><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:41:00.719><c> heart</c>

00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:01.719

00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:06.440
And<00:41:02.260><c> this</c><00:41:02.519><c> last</c><00:41:02.880><c> play</c><00:41:03.340><c> also</c><00:41:04.179><c> comes</c><00:41:05.039><c> unannounced.</c>

00:41:07.940 --> 00:41:11.619
Now<00:41:08.219><c> we</c><00:41:08.280><c> do</c><00:41:08.579><c> find</c><00:41:08.860><c> that</c><00:41:09.780><c> it</c><00:41:10.380><c> is</c><00:41:10.679><c> interesting</c><00:41:11.059><c> that</c><00:41:11.239><c> in</c><00:41:11.400><c> this</c>

00:41:19.699 --> 00:41:23.980
In<00:41:20.000><c> this</c><00:41:20.300><c> second</c><00:41:20.599><c> set,</c><00:41:22.500><c> the</c><00:41:22.659><c> rod</c><00:41:22.780><c> is</c><00:41:22.980><c> not</c><00:41:23.199><c> used</c><00:41:23.380><c> for</c><00:41:23.619><c> any</c><00:41:23.880><c> of</c>

00:41:23.980 --> 00:41:25.119
these<00:41:24.239><c> three</c><00:41:24.500><c> plagues.</c>

00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:27.219
It's<00:41:25.639><c> a</c><00:41:25.679><c> rather</c><00:41:25.820><c> interesting</c><00:41:26.260><c> point.</c>

00:41:27.739 --> 00:41:34.559
We<00:41:27.940><c> find</c><00:41:28.219><c> that</c><00:41:28.920><c> the</c><00:41:30.039><c> rod</c><00:41:30.239><c> of</c><00:41:30.519><c> God</c><00:41:30.920><c> is</c><00:41:32.300><c> not</c><00:41:32.619><c> used</c><00:41:32.980><c> in</c><00:41:33.179><c> regard</c><00:41:33.440><c> to</c><00:41:33.739><c> sin.</c>

00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:37.059
It<00:41:34.960><c> is</c><00:41:35.199><c> used</c><00:41:35.340><c> to</c><00:41:35.619><c> overcome</c><00:41:35.980><c> sin.</c>

00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:40.619
And<00:41:37.320><c> in</c><00:41:37.480><c> these</c><00:41:38.059><c> three,</c><00:41:38.860><c> which</c><00:41:39.099><c> were</c><00:41:39.280><c> visited</c><00:41:39.579><c> against</c><00:41:39.960><c> the</c><00:41:40.179><c> people,</c>

00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:47.440
we<00:41:44.039><c> find</c><00:41:44.280><c> that</c><00:41:45.340><c> the</c><00:41:45.619><c> rod</c><00:41:45.780><c> of</c><00:41:45.920><c> God</c><00:41:46.139><c> isn't</c><00:41:46.460><c> used.</c>

00:41:47.659 --> 00:41:49.199
It<00:41:47.960><c> is</c><00:41:48.260><c> kept</c><00:41:48.460><c> in</c><00:41:48.739><c> reserve.</c>

00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:54.159
We<00:41:49.800><c> do</c><00:41:50.079><c> not</c><00:41:50.360><c> cast</c><00:41:50.880><c> the</c><00:41:51.380><c> rod</c><00:41:51.519><c> of</c><00:41:51.760><c> God</c><00:41:52.179><c> down</c><00:41:52.860><c> to</c><00:41:53.079><c> the</c><00:41:53.260><c> earth</c><00:41:53.599><c> in</c>

00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:54.719
that<00:41:54.400><c> manner.</c>

00:41:55.219 --> 00:41:58.860
The<00:41:55.400><c> rod</c><00:41:55.559><c> of</c><00:41:55.760><c> God</c><00:41:55.960><c> is</c><00:41:56.239><c> used</c><00:41:56.579><c> for</c><00:41:57.079><c> more</c><00:41:57.280><c> important</c><00:41:57.699><c> things.</c>

00:41:58.880 --> 00:42:01.860
And<00:41:59.159><c> consequently,</c><00:41:59.480><c> we</c><00:41:59.679><c> find</c><00:41:59.940><c> that</c><00:42:00.300><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:42:00.679><c> heart</c><00:42:01.039><c> is</c>

00:42:01.860 --> 00:42:03.659
indeed<00:42:02.659><c> hardened.</c>

00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:07.639
Now,<00:42:04.719><c> we've</c><00:42:05.059><c> got</c><00:42:05.300><c> a</c><00:42:05.500><c> couple</c><00:42:05.679><c> of</c><00:42:05.880><c> minutes,</c><00:42:06.719><c> and</c><00:42:06.960><c> I</c><00:42:07.099><c> would</c><00:42:07.360><c> like</c>

00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:08.219
very<00:42:07.980><c> much,</c>

00:42:08.260 --> 00:42:10.519
if<00:42:08.360><c> we</c><00:42:08.539><c> can</c><00:42:08.719><c> try</c><00:42:08.920><c> to</c><00:42:09.199><c> squeeze</c><00:42:09.360><c> it</c><00:42:09.579><c> in,</c><00:42:09.699><c> and</c><00:42:09.800><c> I'll</c><00:42:10.000><c> try</c><00:42:10.159><c> not</c><00:42:10.340><c> to</c>

00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:11.780
abuse<00:42:10.739><c> the</c><00:42:11.019><c> time,</c>

00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:14.300
I'd<00:42:12.239><c> like</c><00:42:12.320><c> to</c><00:42:12.480><c> bring</c><00:42:12.579><c> up</c><00:42:12.800><c> three</c><00:42:13.039><c> rather</c><00:42:13.320><c> interesting</c><00:42:13.739><c> references</c>

00:42:14.300 --> 00:42:17.260
in<00:42:14.880><c> regard</c><00:42:15.280><c> to</c><00:42:15.940><c> the</c><00:42:16.079><c> hardening</c><00:42:16.400><c> of</c><00:42:16.559><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:42:16.880><c> heart.</c>

00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:18.840
And<00:42:17.739><c> perhaps</c><00:42:18.000><c> you'd</c><00:42:18.260><c> like</c><00:42:18.320><c> to</c><00:42:18.460><c> turn</c><00:42:18.619><c> them</c><00:42:18.739><c> up.</c>

00:42:18.940 --> 00:42:22.139
The<00:42:19.019><c> first</c><00:42:19.199><c> one</c><00:42:19.340><c> is</c><00:42:19.480><c> in</c><00:42:19.599><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:42:21.340><c> chapter</c><00:42:21.579><c> 18.</c>

00:42:22.539 --> 00:42:25.199
We'll<00:42:22.739><c> have</c><00:42:22.900><c> to</c><00:42:23.000><c> go</c><00:42:23.159><c> on</c><00:42:23.280><c> with</c><00:42:23.400><c> the</c><00:42:23.480><c> rest</c><00:42:23.659><c> of</c><00:42:23.860><c> the</c><00:42:23.960><c> plagues</c><00:42:24.199><c> tomorrow.</c>

00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:28.579
But<00:42:25.659><c> in</c><00:42:25.800><c> the</c><00:42:25.880><c> 18th</c><00:42:26.400><c> chapter</c><00:42:26.619><c> of</c><00:42:26.780><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:42:27.820><c> we</c><00:42:27.940><c> find</c><00:42:28.179><c> a</c><00:42:28.239><c> very</c>

00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:33.179
Jeremiah<00:42:30.840><c> goes</c><00:42:31.099><c> down</c><00:42:31.480><c> and</c><00:42:31.679><c> watches</c><00:42:32.000><c> the</c><00:42:32.320><c> potter</c><00:42:32.579><c> at</c><00:42:32.820><c> work.</c>

00:42:33.599 --> 00:42:36.920
And<00:42:33.780><c> I</c><00:42:33.940><c> think</c><00:42:34.139><c> that</c><00:42:34.360><c> these</c><00:42:34.579><c> words</c><00:42:34.820><c> may</c><00:42:35.039><c> be</c><00:42:35.179><c> very</c><00:42:35.500><c> helpful</c><00:42:35.780><c> for</c><00:42:36.059><c> us.</c>

00:42:38.500 --> 00:42:40.920
The<00:42:38.679><c> word</c><00:42:38.840><c> which</c><00:42:39.039><c> came</c><00:42:39.239><c> unto</c><00:42:39.420><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:42:40.199><c> starting</c><00:42:40.340><c> at</c><00:42:40.539><c> the</c><00:42:40.599><c> beginning</c><00:42:40.780><c> of</c>

00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:41.900
the<00:42:40.980><c> 18th</c><00:42:41.599><c> chapter,</c>

00:42:41.900 --> 00:42:44.860
saying,<00:42:42.780><c> Arise</c><00:42:43.480><c> and</c><00:42:43.579><c> go</c><00:42:43.719><c> down</c><00:42:43.940><c> to</c><00:42:44.039><c> the</c><00:42:44.260><c> potter's</c><00:42:44.519><c> house,</c>

00:42:44.900 --> 00:42:47.619
and<00:42:45.039><c> there</c><00:42:45.260><c> I</c><00:42:45.400><c> will</c><00:42:45.639><c> cause</c><00:42:45.900><c> thee</c><00:42:46.099><c> to</c><00:42:46.179><c> hear</c><00:42:46.320><c> my</c><00:42:46.599><c> words.</c>

00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:51.280
And<00:42:48.019><c> then</c><00:42:48.199><c> I</c><00:42:48.320><c> went</c><00:42:48.440><c> down</c><00:42:48.699><c> to</c><00:42:48.820><c> the</c><00:42:48.980><c> potter's</c><00:42:49.260><c> house,</c><00:42:49.619><c> and</c><00:42:49.719><c> behold,</c><00:42:50.760><c> he</c><00:42:50.980><c> wrought</c><00:42:51.119><c> a</c>

00:42:52.940 --> 00:42:56.619
And<00:42:53.199><c> the</c><00:42:53.340><c> vessel</c><00:42:53.619><c> that</c><00:42:53.820><c> he</c><00:42:53.980><c> made</c><00:42:54.840><c> of</c><00:42:55.219><c> clay</c><00:42:55.579><c> was</c><00:42:56.019><c> marred</c><00:42:56.320><c> in</c><00:42:56.519><c> the</c>

I<00:45:17.179><c> think</c><00:45:17.360><c> it</c><00:45:17.460><c> would</c><00:45:17.639><c> be</c><00:45:17.840><c> quicker.</c>

00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:22.519
For<00:45:19.440><c> he</c><00:45:19.659><c> saith</c><00:45:19.840><c> unto</c><00:45:20.079><c> Moses,</c><00:45:20.920><c> I</c><00:45:21.260><c> will</c><00:45:21.460><c> have</c><00:45:21.679><c> mercy</c><00:45:22.000><c> on</c><00:45:22.219><c> whom</c><00:45:22.400><c> I</c>

00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:23.900

00:45:27.300 --> 00:45:31.400
So<00:45:27.579><c> then</c><00:45:27.920><c> it</c><00:45:28.019><c> is</c><00:45:28.260><c> not</c><00:45:28.699><c> of</c><00:45:28.900><c> him</c><00:45:29.500><c> that</c><00:45:30.139><c> willeth,</c><00:45:30.840><c> nor</c><00:45:31.039><c> of</c><00:45:31.199><c> him</c>
