It's<00:07:16.819><c> almost</c><00:07:17.060><c> as</c><00:07:17.459><c> if</c><00:07:17.860><c> Jesus</c><00:07:18.220><c> is</c><00:07:18.519><c> saying,</c><00:07:20.199><c> keep</c><00:07:20.319><c> the</c><00:07:21.000><c> vision,</c><00:07:21.519><c> John.</c>

Surely<00:08:18.699><c> we</c><00:08:18.980><c> would</c><00:08:19.180><c> have</c><00:08:19.379><c> thought</c><00:08:19.819><c> from</c><00:08:20.899><c> such</c><00:08:21.279><c> a</c><00:08:22.100><c> startling</c>

00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:30.980
What<00:08:26.939><c> more</c><00:08:27.439><c> did</c><00:08:27.699><c> Jesus</c><00:08:28.120><c> have</c><00:08:28.480><c> to</c><00:08:28.639><c> do</c><00:08:28.800><c> to</c><00:08:29.139><c> prove</c><00:08:29.339><c> his</c><00:08:29.680><c> credentials?</c>

00:08:33.100 --> 00:08:34.960

Jesus<00:08:36.299><c> proves</c><00:08:36.639><c> himself</c><00:08:37.100><c> time</c><00:08:37.559><c> and</c><00:08:37.779><c> again</c><00:08:38.039><c> in</c><00:08:38.220><c> our</c><00:08:38.519><c> lives</c><00:08:39.220><c> that</c>

Rotherham<00:23:02.839><c> says</c><00:23:03.279><c> this,</c>

00:23:04.140 --> 00:23:08.819
But<00:23:05.299><c> he</c><00:23:05.700><c> himself</c><00:23:06.660><c> shall</c><00:23:07.440><c> be</c><00:23:07.799><c> one</c><00:23:08.019><c> of</c><00:23:08.259><c> them,</c>

So<00:23:18.440><c> according</c><00:23:18.720><c> to</c><00:23:18.940><c> Rotherham,</c>

Now<00:23:36.160><c> that's</c><00:23:36.359><c> worth</c><00:23:36.660><c> just</c><00:23:37.279><c> pausing</c><00:23:37.660><c> for</c><00:23:37.940><c> a</c><00:23:38.039><c> moment.</c>

with<00:27:53.299><c> reeds</c><00:27:53.660><c> and</c><00:27:53.940><c> rushes.</c>

00:27:54.700 --> 00:27:57.079
So<00:27:55.079><c> the</c><00:27:55.619><c> highway</c><00:27:55.960><c> is</c><00:27:56.259><c> grass.</c>

00:27:58.299 --> 00:27:59.900
If<00:27:58.680><c> you</c><00:27:58.819><c> look</c><00:27:59.000><c> at</c><00:27:59.160><c> verse</c><00:27:59.480><c> 8,</c>

00:27:59.940 --> 00:28:02.059
you<00:28:00.180><c> see</c><00:28:00.460><c> that</c><00:28:00.660><c> the</c><00:28:00.960><c> highway</c><00:28:01.319><c> and</c><00:28:01.539><c> the</c><00:28:01.740><c> way</c>

00:28:02.059 --> 00:28:03.779
is<00:28:02.640><c> the</c><00:28:02.779><c> way</c><00:28:02.980><c> of</c><00:28:03.319><c> holiness.</c>

00:28:03.779 --> 00:28:06.680
So<00:28:04.400><c> this</c><00:28:04.859><c> way</c><00:28:05.140><c> is</c><00:28:05.539><c> holy.</c>

00:28:08.740 --> 00:28:10.640
If<00:28:08.900><c> you</c><00:28:08.960><c> go</c><00:28:09.099><c> over</c><00:28:09.400><c> a</c><00:28:09.539><c> few</c><00:28:09.880><c> chapters</c><00:28:10.319><c> now</c>

00:28:15.460 --> 00:28:17.380
the<00:28:15.559><c> voice</c><00:28:15.940><c> of</c><00:28:16.099><c> him</c><00:28:16.279><c> that</c><00:28:16.619><c> cryeth</c><00:28:16.859><c> in</c><00:28:17.000><c> the</c><00:28:17.119><c> wilderness,</c>

00:28:17.460 --> 00:28:19.619
Prepare<00:28:17.940><c> ye</c><00:28:18.200><c> the</c><00:28:18.339><c> way</c><00:28:18.539><c> of</c><00:28:18.680><c> the</c><00:28:18.799><c> Lord,</c>

00:28:19.660 --> 00:28:21.960
Make<00:28:19.920><c> straight</c><00:28:20.660><c> in</c><00:28:21.339><c> the</c><00:28:21.559><c> desert</c>

00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:24.880
a<00:28:22.680><c> highway</c><00:28:23.259><c> for</c><00:28:23.599><c> our</c><00:28:23.819><c> God.</c>

00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:31.779
That<00:28:26.359><c> term</c><00:28:27.039><c> straight</c><00:28:27.920><c> means</c><00:28:29.539><c> leveled.</c>

00:28:33.779 --> 00:28:35.359
So<00:28:34.180><c> it's</c><00:28:34.460><c> straight.</c>

00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:38.559
It's<00:28:36.160><c> being</c><00:28:36.500><c> leveled.</c>

00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:42.279
Turn<00:28:39.380><c> to</c><00:28:39.500><c> chapter</c><00:28:39.759><c> 43</c><00:28:40.220><c> now.</c>

00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:47.019
Verse<00:28:45.759><c> 19.</c>

00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:48.640
You<00:28:47.380><c> can</c><00:28:47.559><c> see</c><00:28:47.640><c> at</c><00:28:47.740><c> the</c><00:28:47.740><c> end</c><00:28:47.900><c> of</c><00:28:48.079><c> verse</c><00:28:48.240><c> 16</c>

00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:50.380
a<00:28:48.960><c> path</c><00:28:49.119><c> in</c><00:28:49.339><c> the</c><00:28:49.460><c> mighty</c><00:28:50.000><c> waters.</c>

00:28:50.420 --> 00:28:53.319
And<00:28:50.539><c> then</c><00:28:50.680><c> verse</c><00:28:50.900><c> 19</c><00:28:51.700><c> of</c><00:28:52.200><c> Isaiah</c><00:28:52.519><c> 43,</c>

00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:55.259
Behold,<00:28:54.140><c> I</c><00:28:54.319><c> will</c><00:28:54.440><c> do</c><00:28:54.640><c> a</c><00:28:54.799><c> new</c><00:28:55.019><c> thing.</c>

00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:57.500
Now<00:28:55.519><c> it</c><00:28:55.740><c> shall</c><00:28:55.940><c> spring</c><00:28:56.400><c> forth.</c>

00:28:57.720 --> 00:28:58.680
Shall<00:28:57.859><c> ye</c><00:28:58.059><c> not</c><00:28:58.240><c> know</c><00:28:58.420><c> it?</c>

00:28:58.680 --> 00:29:01.019
I<00:28:58.880><c> will</c><00:28:59.099><c> even</c><00:28:59.460><c> make</c><00:28:59.779><c> a</c><00:29:00.019><c> way</c><00:29:00.220><c> in</c><00:29:00.440><c> the</c><00:29:00.619><c> wilderness</c>

00:29:01.019 --> 00:29:02.779
and<00:29:01.319><c> rivers</c><00:29:01.680><c> in</c><00:29:01.980><c> the</c><00:29:02.200><c> deserts.</c>

00:29:02.779 --> 00:29:05.299
So<00:29:03.819><c> this</c><00:29:04.099><c> way</c><00:29:04.339><c> is</c><00:29:04.500><c> watered.</c>

00:29:06.259 --> 00:29:07.960
And<00:29:06.359><c> then</c><00:29:06.660><c> finally</c><00:29:06.940><c> if</c><00:29:07.140><c> we</c><00:29:07.259><c> go</c>

00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:10.279
forward<00:29:08.380><c> to</c><00:29:08.579><c> chapter</c><00:29:08.819><c> 62</c><00:29:09.460><c> now,</c>

00:29:11.140 --> 00:29:13.380
look<00:29:11.400><c> at</c><00:29:11.579><c> verse</c><00:29:11.839><c> 10,</c>

00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:15.799
Go<00:29:14.279><c> through,</c><00:29:14.759><c> go</c><00:29:15.039><c> through</c><00:29:15.359><c> the</c><00:29:15.599><c> gates,</c>

00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:18.480
Prepare<00:29:16.299><c> ye</c><00:29:16.640><c> the</c><00:29:16.980><c> way</c><00:29:17.500><c> of</c><00:29:18.059><c> the</c><00:29:18.259><c> people,</c>

00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:20.819
Cast<00:29:18.920><c> up,</c><00:29:19.359><c> cast</c><00:29:19.559><c> up</c><00:29:19.799><c> the</c><00:29:20.279><c> highway,</c>

00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:22.339
Gather<00:29:21.460><c> out</c><00:29:21.759><c> the</c><00:29:22.019><c> stones,</c>

00:29:22.660 --> 00:29:25.539
Lift<00:29:22.940><c> up</c><00:29:23.140><c> a</c><00:29:23.359><c> standard</c><00:29:23.680><c> for</c><00:29:24.500><c> the</c><00:29:24.740><c> people.</c>

00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:27.859
That<00:29:26.119><c> word</c><00:29:26.299><c> standard</c><00:29:26.660><c> means</c><00:29:27.000><c> an</c><00:29:27.339><c> end</c><00:29:27.519><c> sign.</c>

00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:29.779
So<00:29:28.519><c> this</c><00:29:28.779><c> way,</c>

00:29:30.220 --> 00:29:34.059
this<00:29:30.819><c> way</c><00:29:31.039><c> of</c><00:29:31.339><c> holiness</c><00:29:31.779><c> is</c><00:29:32.920><c> raised</c>

00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:37.140
and<00:29:34.720><c> it</c><00:29:35.680><c> is</c><00:29:35.980><c> elevated.</c>

00:29:37.940 --> 00:29:39.819
So<00:29:38.140><c> these</c><00:29:38.319><c> are</c><00:29:38.500><c> all</c><00:29:38.640><c> physical</c><00:29:39.019><c> descriptions.</c>

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:42.299
The<00:29:40.859><c> way</c><00:29:41.059><c> is</c><00:29:41.259><c> grazed,</c><00:29:41.779><c> it's</c><00:29:41.880><c> protected,</c>

00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:43.799
it's<00:29:42.759><c> straightened,</c><00:29:43.140><c> it's</c><00:29:43.440><c> watered,</c>

00:29:43.900 --> 00:29:46.859
it's<00:29:44.980><c> elevated</c><00:29:45.500><c> and</c><00:29:45.799><c> raised.</c>

00:29:47.859 --> 00:29:50.759
So<00:29:48.039><c> it's</c><00:29:48.259><c> describing</c><00:29:48.619><c> an</c><00:29:48.920><c> incredible</c><00:29:49.500><c> construction.</c>

00:29:51.339 --> 00:29:53.779
And<00:29:51.559><c> it's</c><00:29:51.839><c> clear</c><00:29:52.119><c> that</c><00:29:52.319><c> a</c><00:29:52.559><c> highway</c><00:29:52.880><c> has</c><00:29:53.279><c> been</c><00:29:53.539><c> made</c>

00:29:53.779 --> 00:29:57.420

00:29:57.420 --> 00:30:00.940
when<00:29:58.079><c> Christ</c><00:29:58.779><c> is</c><00:29:59.880><c> king</c><00:30:00.160><c> there.</c>

00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:04.640
There's<00:30:02.400><c> going</c><00:30:02.519><c> to</c><00:30:02.619><c> be</c><00:30:02.700><c> an</c><00:30:02.980><c> important</c><00:30:03.359><c> blessing</c>

00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:06.460
on<00:30:05.279><c> this</c><00:30:05.500><c> highway.</c>

00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:08.819
Let's<00:30:06.980><c> go</c><00:30:07.140><c> to</c><00:30:07.299><c> Isaiah</c><00:30:07.460><c> chapter</c><00:30:07.799><c> 19</c><00:30:08.400><c> now.</c>

00:30:08.940 --> 00:30:11.119
Isaiah<00:30:09.200><c> 19.</c>

00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:14.559
One<00:30:12.740><c> of</c><00:30:12.900><c> the</c><00:30:13.119><c> prophecies</c><00:30:13.519><c> that</c><00:30:14.140><c> concern</c>

00:33:35.099 --> 00:33:37.880
How<00:33:35.440><c> would</c><00:33:35.619><c> you</c><00:33:35.859><c> understand</c>

00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:40.700
the<00:33:38.359><c> words</c><00:33:38.660><c> in</c><00:33:38.880><c> verse</c><00:33:39.240><c> 24?</c>

00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:44.579
In<00:33:41.220><c> that</c><00:33:41.660><c> day</c><00:33:42.019><c> shall</c><00:33:42.359><c> Israel</c><00:33:42.980><c> be</c><00:33:43.539><c> the</c><00:33:44.079><c> third</c>

00:33:48.660 --> 00:33:51.079
What<00:33:49.039><c> could</c><00:33:49.299><c> that</c><00:33:49.660><c> possibly</c><00:33:50.059><c> mean?</c>

00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:53.579
Is<00:33:51.859><c> God</c><00:33:52.240><c> saying</c><00:33:52.720><c> here</c>

00:33:53.579 --> 00:33:56.579
that<00:33:54.059><c> Israel,</c><00:33:55.140><c> in</c><00:33:55.380><c> God's</c><00:33:55.740><c> coming</c><00:33:56.019><c> kingdom,</c>

00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:03.619
That's<00:34:02.500><c> what</c><00:34:02.559><c> it</c><00:34:02.740><c> suggests,</c><00:34:03.259><c> doesn't</c><00:34:03.400><c> it,</c>

00:34:03.660 --> 00:34:05.140

00:34:08.340 --> 00:34:10.579
I<00:34:08.719><c> believe</c><00:34:08.900><c> what</c><00:34:09.059><c> it</c><00:34:09.199><c> means</c><00:34:09.559><c> is</c><00:34:09.800><c> that</c>

00:34:10.579 --> 00:34:15.679
Israel<00:34:11.900><c> will</c><00:34:12.860><c> stand</c><00:34:13.239><c> as</c><00:34:13.579><c> an</c><00:34:14.019><c> intermediary</c>

00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:17.840

00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:20.760
The<00:34:18.519><c> highway</c><00:34:19.019><c> goes</c><00:34:19.679><c> through</c><00:34:20.219><c> the</c><00:34:20.440><c> land</c>

00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:23.099
connecting<00:34:21.519><c> Assyria</c><00:34:22.199><c> to</c><00:34:22.440><c> Egypt,</c>

00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:25.659
and<00:34:23.659><c> it</c><00:34:23.800><c> will</c><00:34:23.980><c> be</c><00:34:24.159><c> a</c><00:34:24.280><c> public</c><00:34:24.559><c> path,</c>

00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:28.760
and<00:34:25.980><c> it</c><00:34:26.079><c> will</c><00:34:26.260><c> be</c><00:34:26.480><c> raised</c><00:34:26.860><c> for</c><00:34:27.219><c> all</c><00:34:27.400><c> to</c><00:34:27.679><c> walk</c><00:34:27.880><c> upon.</c>

00:34:29.539 --> 00:34:30.400
So<00:34:29.699><c> how</c><00:34:29.900><c> amazing,</c><00:34:30.300><c> then,</c>

00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:32.099
the<00:34:30.699><c> historical</c><00:34:31.119><c> enemies</c><00:34:31.460><c> of</c><00:34:31.639><c> Israel</c>

00:34:32.099 --> 00:34:34.960
are<00:34:32.559><c> now</c><00:34:33.039><c> connected</c><00:34:33.579><c> to</c><00:34:33.940><c> her.</c>

00:34:35.940 --> 00:34:39.900
Israel,<00:34:37.199><c> Egypt,</c><00:34:38.360><c> and</c><00:34:39.000><c> Assyria</c>

00:34:39.900 --> 00:34:42.599
will<00:34:40.539><c> be,</c><00:34:41.260><c> in</c><00:34:41.539><c> God's</c><00:34:41.960><c> coming</c><00:34:42.159><c> kingdom,</c>

00:34:42.940 --> 00:34:44.800
a<00:34:43.179><c> triple</c><00:34:43.619><c> alliance,</c>

00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:46.679
enjoying<00:34:45.139><c> God's</c><00:34:45.599><c> blessing.</c>

00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:48.639
So<00:34:47.719><c> this</c><00:34:47.900><c> is</c><00:34:48.099><c> the</c><00:34:48.280><c> highway</c>

00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:50.519

00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:52.599
in<00:34:51.159><c> Isaiah</c><00:34:51.599><c> chapter</c><00:34:52.059><c> 35.</c>

00:34:52.699 --> 00:34:54.920

00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:00.059
If<00:34:57.880><c> you</c><00:34:58.000><c> go</c><00:34:58.159><c> back</c><00:34:58.420><c> to</c><00:34:58.579><c> chapter</c><00:34:58.820><c> 35</c><00:34:59.460><c> of</c><00:34:59.699><c> Isaiah,</c>

00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:02.559

00:35:06.380 --> 00:35:11.780

00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:30.679

00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:46.360

00:35:54.139 --> 00:35:57.320
You<00:35:54.780><c> can</c><00:35:55.139><c> see</c><00:35:55.420><c> that</c><00:35:55.599><c> this</c><00:35:55.860><c> is</c><00:35:56.159><c> a</c><00:35:56.599><c> future</c><00:35:56.920><c> time,</c>

00:35:57.460 --> 00:36:00.699

00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:05.500
For<00:36:01.320><c> I</c><00:36:02.860><c> know</c><00:36:03.239><c> their</c><00:36:03.539><c> works</c><00:36:04.280><c> and</c><00:36:04.699><c> their</c><00:36:04.960><c> thoughts,</c>

00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:09.059
it<00:36:05.880><c> shall</c><00:36:06.159><c> come</c><00:36:06.639><c> that</c><00:36:07.219><c> I</c><00:36:07.440><c> will</c><00:36:07.780><c> gather.</c>

00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:12.059
So<00:36:09.860><c> there's</c><00:36:10.079><c> going</c><00:36:10.260><c> to</c><00:36:10.400><c> be</c><00:36:10.539><c> a</c><00:36:10.699><c> great</c><00:36:11.059><c> gathering.</c>

00:37:15.619 --> 00:37:17.260

In<00:50:52.199><c> the</c><00:50:52.500><c> same</c><00:50:52.780><c> day</c><00:50:53.099><c> the</c><00:50:53.260><c> Lord</c><00:50:53.599><c> made</c><00:50:53.860><c> a</c><00:50:54.199><c> covenant</c><00:50:54.659><c> with</c><00:50:55.119><c> Abraham,</c>

00:50:56.039 --> 00:50:58.500
saying,<00:50:56.340><c> unto</c><00:50:56.619><c> thy</c><00:50:56.960><c> seed</c><00:50:57.280><c> have</c><00:50:57.420><c> I</c><00:50:57.639><c> given</c><00:50:57.800><c> this</c><00:50:58.059><c> land</c>

00:50:58.500 --> 00:51:00.320
from<00:50:58.980><c> the</c><00:50:59.260><c> river</c><00:50:59.559><c> of</c><00:50:59.840><c> Egypt</c>

00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:02.500
unto<00:51:00.880><c> the</c><00:51:01.159><c> great</c><00:51:01.340><c> river,</c><00:51:01.739><c> the</c><00:51:01.940><c> river</c><00:51:02.139><c> Euphrates.</c>

00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:06.260
This<00:51:02.860><c> is</c><00:51:03.159><c> why</c><00:51:03.480><c> God</c><00:51:03.780><c> is</c><00:51:04.000><c> so</c><00:51:04.159><c> obsessed</c><00:51:04.659><c> with</c><00:51:04.920><c> this</c><00:51:05.119><c> territory.</c>

00:51:06.760 --> 00:51:11.559
These<00:51:07.519><c> sections</c><00:51:08.280><c> are</c><00:51:09.440><c> not</c><00:51:09.659><c> the</c><00:51:10.000><c> enemies</c><00:51:10.320><c> of</c><00:51:10.659><c> God.</c>

00:51:11.659 --> 00:51:13.400
They<00:51:11.860><c> are</c><00:51:12.099><c> the</c><00:51:12.340><c> land.</c>

00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:15.880
And<00:51:14.300><c> so</c><00:51:14.400><c> when</c><00:51:14.579><c> God's</c><00:51:14.960><c> kingdom</c><00:51:15.219><c> is</c><00:51:15.500><c> established,</c>

00:51:16.039 --> 00:51:19.099
the<00:51:16.159><c> very</c><00:51:16.480><c> boundaries</c><00:51:16.940><c> of</c><00:51:17.239><c> Israel</c><00:51:17.679><c> will</c><00:51:18.059><c> be</c><00:51:18.420><c> extended</c>

00:51:19.099 --> 00:51:23.139
and<00:51:19.960><c> will</c><00:51:20.400><c> swallow</c><00:51:20.679><c> up</c><00:51:21.860><c> God's</c><00:51:22.920><c> enemies.</c>

00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:26.019
That's<00:51:23.840><c> another</c><00:51:24.099><c> verse</c><00:51:24.400><c> from</c><00:51:24.599><c> Isaiah,</c><00:51:24.900><c> isn't</c><00:51:25.079><c> it?</c>

00:51:26.360 --> 00:51:28.119
Will<00:51:26.760><c> swallow</c><00:51:27.079><c> up</c><00:51:27.360><c> her</c><00:51:27.619><c> enemies</c>

00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:32.239
and<00:51:28.820><c> so</c><00:51:29.239><c> then</c><00:51:29.659><c> Egypt</c><00:51:30.300><c> and</c><00:51:31.179><c> Assyria</c>

00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:35.219
become<00:51:32.820><c> part</c><00:51:33.599><c> of</c><00:51:34.179><c> the</c><00:51:34.340><c> nation.</c>

00:51:36.300 --> 00:51:39.179
So<00:51:36.900><c> we</c><00:51:37.059><c> can</c><00:51:37.300><c> see</c><00:51:37.460><c> then</c><00:51:37.699><c> why</c><00:51:38.039><c> Jesus</c><00:51:38.519><c> could</c><00:51:38.840><c> say,</c>

00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:42.519
I<00:51:39.440><c> am</c><00:51:39.639><c> the</c><00:51:39.860><c> way,</c><00:51:40.179><c> the</c><00:51:40.440><c> truth</c><00:51:40.780><c> and</c><00:51:41.199><c> the</c><00:51:41.440><c> life.</c>

00:51:42.940 --> 00:51:46.239
He<00:51:43.199><c> is</c><00:51:43.280><c> the</c><00:51:43.500><c> only</c><00:51:43.840><c> means</c><00:51:44.300><c> to</c><00:51:44.559><c> everlasting</c><00:51:45.019><c> life.</c>

00:51:46.940 --> 00:51:50.260
And<00:51:47.139><c> so</c><00:51:47.239><c> what</c><00:51:47.400><c> do</c><00:51:47.519><c> we</c><00:51:47.659><c> have</c><00:51:47.820><c> before</c><00:51:48.179><c> us</c><00:51:48.320><c> in</c><00:51:48.519><c> these</c><00:51:48.739><c> words</c><00:51:49.039><c> of</c><00:51:49.300><c> Isaiah?</c>

00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:53.400
It's<00:51:51.579><c> Eden</c><00:51:51.679><c> restored,</c><00:51:52.239><c> isn't</c><00:51:52.340><c> it?</c>

00:51:53.960 --> 00:51:55.739
It's<00:51:54.219><c> Eden</c><00:51:54.460><c> restored.</c>

00:51:56.380 --> 00:51:57.719
Trees<00:51:56.880><c> of</c><00:51:57.239><c> righteousness</c>

00:51:57.719 --> 00:52:00.320
planted<00:51:58.340><c> in</c><00:51:58.579><c> the</c><00:51:58.940><c> paradise,</c><00:51:59.840><c> even</c><00:51:59.860><c> Eden.</c>

00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:03.780
Our<00:52:01.019><c> final</c><00:52:01.380><c> reference</c><00:52:01.980><c> for</c><00:52:02.380><c> this</c><00:52:02.619><c> week,</c>

00:52:03.820 --> 00:52:05.420
Isaiah<00:52:03.940><c> chapter</c><00:52:04.340><c> 61.</c><00:52:04.840><c> Let's</c><00:52:04.960><c> go</c><00:52:05.219><c> there.</c>

00:52:05.579 --> 00:52:07.940
Isaiah<00:52:05.820><c> chapter</c><00:52:06.139><c> 61.</c>

00:52:20.380 --> 00:52:24.519
We'll<00:52:21.159><c> conclude</c><00:52:21.440><c> here</c><00:52:21.719><c> then</c><00:52:22.139><c> in</c><00:52:22.519><c> these</c><00:52:22.800><c> words.</c>

00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:27.440
Isaiah<00:52:26.119><c> 61.</c>

00:52:28.039 --> 00:52:30.539
The<00:52:28.639><c> spirit</c><00:52:29.079><c> of</c><00:52:29.239><c> the</c><00:52:29.380><c> Lord,</c><00:52:29.659><c> verse</c><00:52:29.940><c> one,</c>

00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:32.980
the<00:52:31.239><c> spirit</c><00:52:31.559><c> of</c><00:52:31.760><c> the</c><00:52:31.880><c> Lord</c><00:52:32.039><c> God</c><00:52:32.260><c> is</c><00:52:32.480><c> upon</c><00:52:32.699><c> me</c>

00:52:32.980 --> 00:52:34.980
because<00:52:33.300><c> the</c><00:52:33.659><c> Lord</c><00:52:33.960><c> hath</c><00:52:34.280><c> anointed</c><00:52:34.699><c> me</c>

00:52:34.980 --> 00:52:37.840
to<00:52:35.659><c> preach</c><00:52:36.219><c> good</c><00:52:36.739><c> tidings</c><00:52:37.179><c> unto</c><00:52:37.440><c> the</c><00:52:37.619><c> meek.</c>

00:52:37.860 --> 00:52:40.500
He<00:52:38.079><c> hath</c><00:52:38.260><c> sent</c><00:52:38.440><c> me</c><00:52:38.760><c> to</c><00:52:39.099><c> bind</c><00:52:39.519><c> up</c><00:52:39.739><c> the</c><00:52:39.940><c> brokenhearted,</c>

00:52:40.599 --> 00:52:42.460
to<00:52:40.780><c> proclaim</c><00:52:41.079><c> liberty</c><00:52:41.500><c> to</c><00:52:41.739><c> the</c><00:52:41.920><c> captives</c>

00:52:42.460 --> 00:52:44.559
and<00:52:43.019><c> the</c><00:52:43.179><c> opening</c><00:52:43.380><c> of</c><00:52:43.559><c> the</c><00:52:43.699><c> prison</c>

00:52:44.679 --> 00:52:47.440
to<00:52:44.980><c> them</c><00:52:45.599><c> that</c><00:52:46.260><c> are</c><00:52:46.460><c> bound,</c>

00:52:47.820 --> 00:52:50.820
to<00:52:48.139><c> proclaim</c><00:52:48.500><c> the</c><00:52:48.860><c> acceptable</c><00:52:49.280><c> year</c><00:52:49.579><c> of</c><00:52:49.780><c> the</c><00:52:49.940><c> Lord.</c>

00:52:51.219 --> 00:52:53.940
And<00:52:51.519><c> we</c><00:52:51.659><c> know</c><00:52:51.840><c> that</c><00:52:51.980><c> when</c><00:52:52.199><c> Jesus</c><00:52:52.820><c> read</c><00:52:53.219><c> these</c><00:52:53.559><c> words</c>

00:52:53.940 --> 00:52:56.679
from<00:52:54.280><c> Isaiah</c><00:52:54.820><c> 61</c><00:52:55.360><c> in</c><00:52:55.559><c> the</c><00:52:55.699><c> synagogue,</c>

00:52:57.320 --> 00:52:58.900
he<00:52:57.559><c> concluded</c><00:52:57.920><c> there,</c><00:52:58.179><c> didn't</c><00:52:58.340><c> he?</c>

00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:01.179
And<00:52:59.579><c> he</c><00:52:59.699><c> sat</c><00:52:59.920><c> down</c><00:53:00.199><c> abruptly.</c>

00:53:02.440 --> 00:53:04.699
But<00:53:02.639><c> these</c><00:53:03.039><c> are</c><00:53:03.260><c> the</c><00:53:03.380><c> words</c><00:53:03.739><c> that</c><00:53:03.900><c> will</c><00:53:04.099><c> be</c><00:53:04.320><c> fulfilled</c>

00:53:04.699 --> 00:53:07.539
when<00:53:04.960><c> Jesus</c><00:53:05.400><c> returns</c><00:53:05.880><c> and</c><00:53:06.059><c> the</c><00:53:06.159><c> day</c><00:53:06.380><c> of</c><00:53:06.579><c> vengeance</c><00:53:06.860><c> of</c><00:53:07.079><c> our</c><00:53:07.239><c> God</c>

00:53:07.539 --> 00:53:10.360
to<00:53:08.019><c> comfort</c><00:53:08.380><c> all</c><00:53:08.860><c> that</c><00:53:09.139><c> mourn,</c>

the<00:53:16.800><c> oil</c><00:53:16.980><c> of</c><00:53:17.260><c> joyful</c><00:53:17.539><c> mourning,</c>

00:53:20.599 --> 00:53:23.360
that<00:53:21.199><c> they</c><00:53:21.480><c> may</c><00:53:21.639><c> be</c><00:53:21.840><c> called</c><00:53:22.059><c> trees</c><00:53:22.639><c> of</c><00:53:22.960><c> righteousness,</c>

00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:25.780
the<00:53:23.599><c> planting</c><00:53:23.980><c> of</c><00:53:24.179><c> the</c><00:53:24.300><c> Lord</c><00:53:24.460><c> that</c><00:53:24.599><c> he</c><00:53:24.820><c> might</c><00:53:25.039><c> be</c><00:53:25.320><c> glorified.</c>

00:53:26.280 --> 00:53:29.139
That's<00:53:26.800><c> the</c><00:53:26.900><c> message</c><00:53:27.199><c> of</c><00:53:27.440><c> Eden,</c><00:53:27.780><c> brothers</c><00:53:27.880><c> and</c><00:53:28.139><c> sisters,</c>

00:53:29.340 --> 00:53:34.019

00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:44.980
who<00:53:39.320><c> have</c><00:53:39.460><c> brought</c><00:53:39.639><c> forth</c><00:53:40.599><c> fruit,</c><00:53:41.719><c> meat,</c><00:53:42.780><c> for</c><00:53:43.760><c> repentance.</c>

00:53:46.940 --> 00:53:49.260
