00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.160
Must<00:07:15.259><c> have</c><00:07:15.800><c> really</c><00:07:16.259><c> stretched</c><00:07:16.439><c> his</c><00:07:16.699><c> economy.</c>

00:07:17.500 --> 00:07:19.639

00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:23.420
There<00:07:20.680><c> was</c><00:07:20.819><c> miracles</c><00:07:21.180><c> on</c><00:07:21.500><c> the</c><00:07:21.560><c> island,</c><00:07:21.939><c> wonderful</c><00:07:22.399><c> story.</c>

00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:28.439
So<00:07:24.519><c> we</c><00:07:24.660><c> landed</c><00:07:24.899><c> at</c><00:07:25.199><c> Syracuse</c><00:07:25.699><c> and</c><00:07:25.959><c> tarried</c><00:07:26.180><c> there</c><00:07:26.399><c> three</c><00:07:26.699><c> days.</c>

00:07:28.660 --> 00:07:32.560
We<00:07:28.839><c> came</c><00:07:28.959><c> to</c><00:07:29.160><c> Regium</c><00:07:29.459><c> and</c><00:07:29.639><c> after</c><00:07:30.040><c> one</c><00:07:30.399><c> day</c><00:07:31.019><c> the</c><00:07:31.660><c> south</c><00:07:31.920><c> wind</c><00:07:32.160><c> blew.</c>

00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:37.399
God<00:07:33.120><c> could</c><00:07:33.319><c> have</c><00:07:33.459><c> made</c><00:07:33.620><c> the</c><00:07:33.800><c> wind</c><00:07:34.019><c> blow</c><00:07:34.500><c> quicker</c><00:07:34.920><c> or</c><00:07:36.060><c> slower</c>

00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:38.639
according<00:07:37.800><c> as</c><00:07:37.980><c> he</c><00:07:38.120><c> wished</c><00:07:38.319><c> didn't</c><00:07:38.540><c> he?</c>

00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.800
But<00:07:38.800><c> it</c><00:07:38.920><c> was</c><00:07:39.160><c> after</c><00:07:39.480><c> one</c><00:07:39.779><c> day</c><00:07:40.500><c> the</c><00:07:41.339><c> south</c><00:07:41.660><c> wind</c><00:07:42.019><c> blew.</c>

00:07:42.819 --> 00:07:44.579
What<00:07:43.040><c> a</c><00:07:43.220><c> little</c><00:07:43.540><c> detail</c><00:07:43.899><c> to</c><00:07:44.139><c> put</c><00:07:44.319><c> in.</c>

00:07:44.740 --> 00:07:49.699
What<00:07:44.879><c> that's</c><00:07:45.100><c> saying</c><00:07:45.379><c> obviously</c><00:07:45.800><c> is</c><00:07:46.100><c> that</c><00:07:46.720><c> God</c><00:07:46.980><c> was</c><00:07:47.220><c> in</c><00:07:47.420><c> control</c><00:07:47.939><c> of</c><00:07:48.160><c> the</c><00:07:48.339><c> carriage</c><00:07:48.759><c> of</c>

00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.259
And<00:07:51.839><c> when</c><00:07:52.000><c> it</c><00:07:52.220><c> pleased</c><00:07:52.459><c> him</c><00:07:52.800><c> the</c><00:07:52.980><c> wind</c><00:07:53.300><c> blew.</c>

00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.620
And<00:07:55.360><c> we</c><00:07:55.540><c> came</c><00:07:55.680><c> the</c><00:07:55.860><c> next</c><00:07:56.160><c> day</c><00:07:56.360><c> to</c><00:07:56.600><c> Petiola.</c>

00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:02.220
Now<00:07:59.100><c> Petiola</c><00:07:59.560><c> was</c><00:07:59.699><c> one</c><00:07:59.920><c> of</c><00:08:00.360><c> the</c><00:08:00.639><c> two</c><00:08:00.839><c> principal</c><00:08:01.339><c> ports</c><00:08:01.779><c> that</c>

00:08:10.339 --> 00:08:12.639
It<00:08:10.339><c> was</c><00:08:10.540><c> actually</c><00:08:10.899><c> 140</c><00:08:11.660><c> miles</c><00:08:12.279><c> from</c><00:08:12.500><c> Rome.</c>

00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:17.379
It's<00:08:12.879><c> quite</c><00:08:13.079><c> a</c><00:08:13.259><c> way</c><00:08:13.600><c> for</c><00:08:14.259><c> a</c><00:08:14.379><c> city</c><00:08:14.579><c> to</c><00:08:14.819><c> be</c><00:08:15.079><c> serving</c><00:08:15.480><c> the</c><00:08:16.100><c> capital</c><00:08:16.439><c> city.</c>

00:08:17.740 --> 00:08:21.420
And<00:08:18.439><c> it</c><00:08:18.560><c> was</c><00:08:18.720><c> where</c><00:08:18.959><c> the</c><00:08:19.240><c> great</c><00:08:19.720><c> grain</c><00:08:20.160><c> fleets</c><00:08:20.500><c> came.</c>

00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:27.300
It's<00:08:22.100><c> strange</c><00:08:22.319><c> to</c><00:08:22.560><c> say</c><00:08:22.879><c> Egypt</c><00:08:23.459><c> was</c><00:08:24.319><c> considered</c><00:08:24.819><c> a</c><00:08:25.120><c> very</c><00:08:25.480><c> important</c><00:08:25.839><c> granary</c><00:08:26.319><c> as</c><00:08:26.579><c> far</c><00:08:26.759><c> as</c>

00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.480
And<00:08:36.759><c> they</c><00:08:37.019><c> very</c><00:08:37.399><c> often</c><00:08:37.679><c> landed</c><00:08:38.019><c> at</c><00:08:38.460><c> Petiola.</c>

00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.899
The<00:08:42.139><c> Bay</c><00:08:42.399><c> of</c><00:08:42.639><c> Naples</c><00:08:43.000><c> is</c><00:08:43.860><c> known</c><00:08:44.220><c> isn't</c><00:08:44.480><c> it</c><00:08:44.620><c> for</c><00:08:44.779><c> its</c><00:08:45.039><c> beauty.</c>

00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:49.340
They<00:08:46.600><c> used</c><00:08:46.779><c> to</c><00:08:46.940><c> say</c><00:08:47.120><c> see</c><00:08:47.460><c> Naples</c><00:08:48.000><c> and</c><00:08:48.539><c> die.</c>

00:08:49.379 --> 00:08:52.500
Today<00:08:49.899><c> they</c><00:08:50.159><c> say</c><00:08:50.460><c> smell</c><00:08:50.879><c> Naples</c><00:08:51.299><c> and</c><00:08:51.600><c> die.</c>

00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:56.480
It's<00:08:54.679><c> been</c><00:08:55.019><c> overused.</c>

00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:01.940
And<00:08:57.519><c> behind</c><00:08:57.940><c> it</c><00:08:58.179><c> in</c><00:08:58.220><c> its</c><00:08:58.419><c> background</c><00:08:58.759><c> there's</c><00:08:59.179><c> Mount</c><00:08:59.440><c> Vesuvius,</c><00:09:00.340><c> 3842</c>

00:09:01.940 --> 00:09:02.679
feet<00:09:02.379><c> high.</c>

00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:04.120
That's<00:09:03.320><c> an</c><00:09:03.320><c> amazing</c><00:09:03.659><c> thing</c><00:09:03.899><c> isn't</c><00:09:04.059><c> it.</c>

00:09:04.220 --> 00:09:06.759
It<00:09:04.340><c> just</c><00:09:04.480><c> sort</c><00:09:04.639><c> of</c><00:09:04.799><c> comes</c><00:09:05.039><c> straight</c><00:09:05.340><c> up</c><00:09:05.539><c> behind</c><00:09:05.779><c> the</c><00:09:06.000><c> city.</c>

00:09:06.820 --> 00:09:08.659
If<00:09:06.899><c> you've</c><00:09:07.080><c> seen</c><00:09:07.259><c> it</c><00:09:07.480><c> you'll</c><00:09:07.899><c> never</c><00:09:08.100><c> forget</c><00:09:08.460><c> it.</c>

00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:13.820
And<00:09:08.899><c> so</c><00:09:09.019><c> from</c><00:09:09.940><c> the</c><00:09:10.139><c> bay</c><00:09:10.379><c> and</c><00:09:10.580><c> looking</c><00:09:10.779><c> out</c><00:09:11.779><c> towards</c><00:09:12.519><c> the</c><00:09:13.500><c> east</c>

00:09:13.820 --> 00:09:16.019
you<00:09:14.000><c> see</c><00:09:14.240><c> this</c><00:09:14.580><c> city</c><00:09:14.899><c> strung</c><00:09:15.200><c> around</c><00:09:15.480><c> the</c><00:09:15.679><c> bay.</c>

00:09:16.019 --> 00:09:18.820
There's<00:09:16.659><c> various</c><00:09:16.960><c> cities</c><00:09:17.279><c> there</c><00:09:17.500><c> today</c><00:09:17.899><c> all</c><00:09:18.320><c> mingled</c><00:09:18.559><c> into</c>

00:09:18.820 --> 00:09:23.419
one<00:09:19.100><c> great</c><00:09:19.460><c> block</c><00:09:19.759><c> of</c><00:09:21.220><c> metropolitan</c><00:09:22.100><c> concentration.</c>

00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:26.299
And<00:09:23.980><c> yet</c><00:09:24.220><c> behind</c><00:09:24.600><c> that</c><00:09:24.899><c> rising</c><00:09:25.279><c> up</c><00:09:25.480><c> is</c><00:09:25.620><c> Mount</c><00:09:25.820><c> Vesuvius.</c>

00:09:26.379 --> 00:09:32.000
And<00:09:26.480><c> it</c><00:09:26.600><c> was</c><00:09:27.039><c> and</c><00:09:27.340><c> is</c><00:09:27.600><c> still</c><00:09:28.059><c> a</c><00:09:28.360><c> very</c><00:09:28.659><c> beautiful</c><00:09:29.039><c> mountain</c><00:09:29.659><c> behind</c><00:09:30.620><c> the</c><00:09:30.919><c> city.</c>

00:09:34.460 --> 00:09:40.039
Petiola<00:09:34.960><c> is</c><00:09:35.179><c> almost</c><00:09:35.740><c> directly</c><00:09:36.299><c> north</c><00:09:36.879><c> of</c><00:09:38.100><c> Regium,</c><00:09:39.019><c> verse</c><00:09:39.340><c> 13.</c>

00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:44.679
So<00:09:40.980><c> it</c><00:09:41.120><c> was</c><00:09:41.360><c> a</c><00:09:41.440><c> very</c><00:09:41.779><c> direct</c><00:09:42.279><c> south</c><00:09:42.720><c> wind</c><00:09:43.100><c> that</c><00:09:43.320><c> took</c><00:09:43.600><c> the</c><00:09:43.899><c> Apostle</c><00:09:44.320><c> and</c>

00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:48.759
swept<00:09:44.840><c> the</c><00:09:45.059><c> little</c><00:09:45.240><c> vessel</c><00:09:46.000><c> along</c><00:09:46.639><c> those</c><00:09:47.019><c> 200</c><00:09:47.320><c> miles,</c><00:09:47.980><c> 200</c><00:09:48.240><c> miles</c><00:09:48.559><c> in</c>

00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:49.659
a<00:09:48.860><c> day.</c>

00:09:49.779 --> 00:09:51.159
So<00:09:49.960><c> it</c><00:09:50.000><c> was</c><00:09:50.200><c> a</c><00:09:50.299><c> pretty</c><00:09:50.460><c> good</c><00:09:50.720><c> wind.</c>

00:09:51.379 --> 00:09:54.539
And<00:09:51.440><c> you</c><00:09:51.539><c> can</c><00:09:51.759><c> feel</c><00:09:52.000><c> therefore</c><00:09:52.419><c> that</c><00:09:52.740><c> the</c><00:09:53.080><c> Spirit</c><00:09:53.299><c> of</c><00:09:53.539><c> God</c><00:09:53.779><c> is</c>

00:09:54.539 --> 00:09:57.860
taking<00:09:55.059><c> the</c><00:09:55.299><c> Apostle</c><00:09:56.000><c> now</c><00:09:56.360><c> with</c><00:09:56.820><c> some</c><00:09:57.019><c> degree</c><00:09:57.279><c> of</c><00:09:57.580><c> certainty.</c>

00:09:58.019 --> 00:10:02.620
Three<00:09:58.340><c> months</c><00:09:59.440><c> laid</c><00:10:00.940><c> up</c><00:10:01.200><c> in</c><00:10:01.600><c> Melita.</c>

00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.340
Two<00:10:02.960><c> years</c><00:10:03.240><c> in</c><00:10:03.860><c> the</c><00:10:04.080><c> prison</c><00:10:04.299><c> in</c><00:10:04.919><c> Caesarea.</c>

00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.360
All<00:10:05.740><c> that</c><00:10:05.960><c> delay,</c><00:10:06.539><c> now</c><00:10:07.000><c> 200</c><00:10:07.379><c> miles</c><00:10:07.679><c> in</c><00:10:07.840><c> a</c><00:10:08.000><c> day.</c>

00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:10.100
We're<00:10:08.519><c> on</c><00:10:08.720><c> our</c><00:10:08.899><c> way</c><00:10:09.100><c> to</c><00:10:09.340><c> Rome.</c>

00:10:10.379 --> 00:10:13.820
So<00:10:10.500><c> the</c><00:10:10.620><c> Apostle</c><00:10:11.000><c> Paul</c><00:10:11.139><c> would</c><00:10:11.320><c> have</c><00:10:11.460><c> felt</c><00:10:11.559><c> the</c><00:10:11.740><c> impetus</c><00:10:12.000><c> of</c><00:10:12.240><c> that,</c><00:10:12.480><c> that</c><00:10:12.559><c> things</c><00:10:12.860><c> were</c><00:10:13.080><c> now</c><00:10:13.240><c> beginning</c><00:10:13.500><c> to</c>

00:10:13.820 --> 00:10:14.539
really<00:10:14.139><c> happen.</c>

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:16.940
See<00:10:15.120><c> there's</c><00:10:15.340><c> a</c><00:10:15.580><c> spirit</c><00:10:15.759><c> in</c><00:10:15.919><c> the</c><00:10:16.120><c> record.</c>

00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:22.659
And<00:10:17.659><c> I</c><00:10:17.860><c> hope</c><00:10:17.980><c> this</c><00:10:18.259><c> study</c><00:10:18.399><c> will</c><00:10:18.620><c> help</c><00:10:18.720><c> us</c><00:10:18.960><c> to</c><00:10:19.220><c> read</c><00:10:19.419><c> through</c><00:10:19.639><c> this</c><00:10:19.840><c> very</c><00:10:20.279><c> carefully</c><00:10:20.919><c> in</c>

00:10:22.659 --> 00:10:23.779
our<00:10:22.879><c> future</c><00:10:23.399><c> times.</c>

00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:27.960
To<00:10:24.399><c> be</c><00:10:24.600><c> able</c><00:10:24.779><c> to</c><00:10:25.100><c> feel</c><00:10:25.360><c> that</c><00:10:25.580><c> there's</c><00:10:25.879><c> a</c><00:10:26.019><c> really</c><00:10:26.419><c> wonderful</c>

00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:31.019
sense<00:10:28.460><c> behind</c><00:10:28.879><c> all</c><00:10:29.159><c> the</c><00:10:29.320><c> little</c><00:10:29.500><c> details</c><00:10:29.879><c> that</c><00:10:30.059><c> are</c><00:10:30.220><c> given.</c>

00:10:31.220 --> 00:10:33.960
Towards<00:10:31.860><c> the</c><00:10:32.080><c> capital</c><00:10:32.460><c> of</c><00:10:32.679><c> the</c><00:10:32.799><c> empire,</c><00:10:33.340><c> toward</c><00:10:33.659><c> Rome.</c>

00:10:34.139 --> 00:10:37.940
So<00:10:34.340><c> we</c><00:10:34.580><c> went</c><00:10:34.740><c> toward</c><00:10:35.100><c> Rome,</c><00:10:36.240><c> it</c><00:10:36.299><c> says</c><00:10:36.519><c> in</c><00:10:36.679><c> verse</c><00:10:36.899><c> 14.</c>

00:10:38.740 --> 00:10:41.740
Because<00:10:39.019><c> Christ</c><00:10:39.519><c> had</c><00:10:39.840><c> said</c><00:10:40.019><c> that</c><00:10:40.279><c> that's</c><00:10:40.480><c> where</c><00:10:41.019><c> he</c><00:10:41.460><c> would</c>

00:10:41.740 --> 00:10:42.639
make<00:10:42.159><c> witness.</c>

00:10:43.100 --> 00:10:47.080
When<00:10:43.220><c> they</c><00:10:43.379><c> came</c><00:10:43.580><c> to</c><00:10:43.779><c> Petiola,</c><00:10:44.240><c> verse</c><00:10:44.500><c> 14,</c><00:10:45.639><c> it</c><00:10:45.700><c> says</c><00:10:45.960><c> we</c><00:10:46.360><c> found</c>

00:10:53.379 --> 00:10:55.120
We<00:10:53.559><c> were</c><00:10:53.940><c> entreated.</c>

00:10:55.379 --> 00:10:57.879
As<00:10:55.820><c> I</c><00:10:56.059><c> say,</c><00:10:56.299><c> the</c><00:10:56.399><c> brethren</c><00:10:56.620><c> insisted</c><00:10:57.139><c> at</c><00:10:57.519><c> Petiola.</c>

00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.100
They<00:10:58.000><c> said,</c><00:10:58.120><c> look</c><00:10:58.399><c> Paul,</c><00:10:58.480><c> don't</c><00:10:58.840><c> go,</c><00:10:59.220><c> please,</c><00:10:59.820><c> can't</c><00:11:00.059><c> you</c><00:11:00.279><c> stay?</c>

00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:02.899
I<00:11:01.559><c> ask</c><00:11:01.860><c> you.</c>

00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:05.940
I<00:11:04.139><c> mean</c><00:11:04.279><c> even</c><00:11:04.519><c> today</c><00:11:04.759><c> it's</c><00:11:04.940><c> pretty</c><00:11:05.179><c> difficult</c><00:11:05.460><c> to</c><00:11:05.679><c> say</c><00:11:05.779><c> I'd</c>

You've<00:11:09.000><c> got</c><00:11:09.080><c> things</c><00:11:09.299><c> to</c><00:11:09.440><c> do</c><00:11:09.539><c> back</c><00:11:09.840><c> home,</c><00:11:10.220><c> haven't</c><00:11:10.460><c> you?</c>

00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:14.399

00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:19.940
How<00:11:17.500><c> do</c><00:11:17.600><c> you</c><00:11:17.679><c> think</c><00:11:17.919><c> people</c><00:11:18.519><c> are</c><00:11:18.779><c> still</c><00:11:19.019><c> here?</c>

00:11:20.220 --> 00:11:23.960
Well<00:11:20.779><c> we</c><00:11:20.919><c> would</c><00:11:21.100><c> have</c><00:11:21.200><c> left</c><00:11:21.340><c> the</c><00:11:21.620><c> sailors</c><00:11:21.940><c> behind</c><00:11:22.580><c> and</c><00:11:22.779><c> the</c><00:11:22.919><c> captain.</c>

00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.200
But<00:11:25.519><c> Julius</c><00:11:25.779><c> is</c><00:11:25.940><c> still</c><00:11:26.259><c> there.</c>

We<00:11:39.919><c> don't</c><00:11:40.200><c> know.</c>

00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.220

00:11:55.899 --> 00:11:57.799
How<00:11:56.100><c> do</c><00:11:56.240><c> you</c><00:11:56.240><c> think</c><00:11:56.340><c> you</c><00:11:56.460><c> found</c><00:11:56.740><c> the</c><00:11:56.919><c> brethren</c><00:11:57.139><c> in</c><00:11:57.340><c> Petiola?</c>

00:11:57.960 --> 00:11:59.960
If<00:11:58.019><c> you</c><00:11:58.120><c> go</c><00:11:58.220><c> into</c><00:11:58.419><c> town</c><00:11:58.620><c> you</c><00:11:58.779><c> can't</c><00:11:58.960><c> just</c><00:11:59.299><c> find</c><00:11:59.500><c> the</c><00:11:59.720><c> brethren,</c>

00:12:00.139 --> 00:12:00.279
can<00:12:00.220><c> you?</c>

00:12:00.299 --> 00:12:01.639
You've<00:12:00.320><c> got</c><00:12:00.440><c> a</c><00:12:00.559><c> little</c><00:12:00.700><c> group.</c>

00:12:01.779 --> 00:12:03.299
How<00:12:01.940><c> would</c><00:12:02.080><c> you</c><00:12:02.259><c> find</c><00:12:02.559><c> them?</c>

00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.299
I<00:12:04.980><c> suppose</c><00:12:05.240><c> you</c><00:12:05.340><c> could</c><00:12:05.559><c> find</c><00:12:05.799><c> them</c><00:12:05.940><c> through</c><00:12:06.159><c> the</c><00:12:06.379><c> Jewish</c><00:12:06.860><c> quarter.</c>

00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.659

00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.120
It<00:12:13.220><c> was</c><00:12:13.740><c> quite</c><00:12:13.960><c> a</c><00:12:14.120><c> healthy</c><00:12:14.340><c> community</c><00:12:14.840><c> of</c><00:12:15.000><c> Jews.</c>

00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:17.519
So<00:12:15.320><c> perhaps</c><00:12:15.580><c> he</c><00:12:15.779><c> inquired</c><00:12:16.120><c> of</c><00:12:16.299><c> them</c><00:12:16.580><c> and</c><00:12:16.759><c> thus</c><00:12:17.000><c> found</c><00:12:17.299><c> where</c>

00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:00.240
Incredible<00:12:59.240><c> story.</c>

So<00:13:35.980><c> they</c><00:13:36.100><c> were</c><00:13:36.259><c> his</c><00:13:36.480><c> soldiers</c><00:13:36.940><c> and</c><00:13:37.179><c> that</c><00:13:37.419><c> means</c><00:13:37.700><c> they're</c><00:13:37.940><c> important.</c>

00:13:39.740 --> 00:13:40.519
They<00:13:39.820><c> paid</c><00:13:40.000><c> wages.</c>

00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.080
There's<00:13:41.120><c> time</c><00:13:41.419><c> involved</c><00:13:41.799><c> in</c><00:13:41.919><c> all</c><00:13:42.080><c> of</c><00:13:42.240><c> this.</c>

00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:51.159
So<00:13:49.059><c> there</c><00:13:49.200><c> is</c><00:13:49.399><c> a</c><00:13:49.559><c> wonder</c><00:13:49.799><c> in</c><00:13:49.980><c> this</c><00:13:50.200><c> report,</c><00:13:50.639><c> isn't</c><00:13:50.740><c> there?</c>

00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:03.620
The<00:14:02.159><c> Brethren</c><00:14:02.320><c> didn't</c><00:14:02.580><c> and</c><00:14:02.840><c> we</c><00:14:03.100><c> stayed.</c>

00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.480

Amazing<00:14:15.279><c> courtesy.</c>

00:14:16.740 --> 00:14:20.820
And<00:14:16.740><c> it</c><00:14:16.779><c> shows</c><00:14:17.200><c> again</c><00:14:17.720><c> the</c><00:14:17.960><c> hand</c><00:14:18.200><c> of</c><00:14:18.360><c> God</c><00:14:19.019><c> was</c><00:14:19.779><c> in</c><00:14:19.960><c> all</c><00:14:20.279><c> that</c><00:14:20.559><c> happened.</c>

So<00:14:26.059><c> we</c><00:14:26.620><c> went</c><00:14:26.899><c> toward</c><00:14:27.320><c> Rome.</c>

00:14:27.740 --> 00:14:31.559

When<00:14:38.899><c> the</c><00:14:39.100><c> Brethren</c><00:14:39.480><c> heard</c><00:14:39.840><c> of</c><00:14:39.960><c> us,</c>

00:14:41.659 --> 00:14:45.159

And<00:15:07.240><c> from</c><00:15:07.580><c> thence.</c>

00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:11.120
So<00:15:08.159><c> just</c><00:15:08.419><c> before</c><00:15:08.720><c> we</c><00:15:08.940><c> leave</c><00:15:09.139><c> the</c><00:15:09.320><c> Bay</c><00:15:09.600><c> of</c><00:15:09.840><c> Naples.</c>

00:15:13.700 --> 00:15:16.159
Just<00:15:13.820><c> a</c><00:15:13.919><c> little</c><00:15:14.120><c> footnote</c><00:15:14.480><c> that</c><00:15:14.600><c> might</c><00:15:14.799><c> be</c><00:15:14.940><c> of</c><00:15:15.120><c> interest.</c>

00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:21.360
As<00:15:17.779><c> I</c><00:15:18.000><c> said,</c><00:15:18.500><c> the</c><00:15:18.559><c> Bay</c><00:15:18.779><c> of</c><00:15:18.919><c> Naples</c><00:15:19.179><c> is</c><00:15:19.379><c> just</c><00:15:19.600><c> under</c><00:15:19.919><c> Vesuvius.</c>

00:15:21.539 --> 00:15:25.200

In<00:15:26.340><c> 8079,</c><00:15:27.519><c> you</c><00:15:27.879><c> will</c><00:15:28.220><c> remember,</c><00:15:29.000><c> Mount</c><00:15:29.159><c> Vesuvius</c><00:15:29.679><c> erupted.</c>

00:15:31.700 --> 00:15:34.259
And<00:15:31.899><c> Pompeii</c><00:15:32.259><c> was</c><00:15:32.500><c> completely</c><00:15:32.980><c> buried</c><00:15:33.259><c> in</c><00:15:33.480><c> other</c><00:15:33.679><c> cities.</c>

00:16:06.940 --> 00:16:08.860
She<00:16:07.159><c> really</c><00:16:07.500><c> belonged</c><00:16:07.820><c> to</c><00:16:08.080><c> another.</c>

00:16:09.419 --> 00:16:12.299
And<00:16:09.659><c> it</c><00:16:09.740><c> was</c><00:16:10.139><c> quite</c><00:16:10.419><c> an</c><00:16:10.840><c> illegal</c><00:16:11.279><c> matter.</c>

But<00:23:12.180><c> they</c><00:23:12.420><c> came</c><00:23:12.700><c> because</c><00:23:12.980><c> they</c><00:23:13.200><c> wanted</c><00:23:13.420><c> to.</c>

00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:28.240
He<00:25:25.299><c> was</c><00:25:25.920><c> thrilled</c><00:25:26.299><c> and</c><00:25:26.519><c> interested</c><00:25:26.819><c> to</c><00:25:27.019><c> know</c><00:25:27.099><c> there</c><00:25:27.200><c> was</c><00:25:27.579><c> already</c><00:25:28.039><c> an</c>

Okay,<00:42:35.619><c> okay.</c>

00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:27.019

00:46:27.260 --> 00:46:29.239
What<00:46:27.400><c> then</c><00:46:27.539><c> did</c><00:46:27.659><c> it</c><00:46:27.820><c> matter</c><00:46:27.980><c> if</c><00:46:28.099><c> he</c><00:46:28.179><c> was</c><00:46:28.380><c> two</c><00:46:28.579><c> years</c><00:46:28.719><c> in</c><00:46:28.940><c> Caesarea,</c>

Already?

00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:06.400
Well,<00:47:04.679><c> yes,</c><00:47:04.880><c> he</c><00:47:04.940><c> had</c><00:47:05.199><c> really,</c><00:47:05.559><c> hadn't</c><00:47:05.739><c> he?</c>

00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:09.300
Because<00:47:07.139><c> they</c><00:47:07.360><c> were</c><00:47:07.539><c> the</c><00:47:07.699><c> praetorian</c><00:47:08.300><c> guard.</c>

00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:13.980
When<00:47:10.539><c> we</c><00:47:10.639><c> come</c><00:47:10.800><c> over</c><00:47:11.079><c> to</c><00:47:12.260><c> Acts</c><00:47:12.559><c> 28</c><00:47:12.940><c> again,</c>

00:47:44.019 --> 00:47:47.699

00:47:48.179 --> 00:47:51.039
And<00:47:48.260><c> they</c><00:47:48.340><c> had</c><00:47:48.619><c> a</c><00:47:48.920><c> smaller</c><00:47:49.179><c> camp</c><00:47:49.440><c> right</c><00:47:49.739><c> by</c><00:47:49.920><c> the</c><00:47:50.099><c> palace.</c>

00:47:51.139 --> 00:47:54.039
And<00:47:51.260><c> they</c><00:47:51.360><c> had</c><00:47:51.519><c> the</c><00:47:51.699><c> larger</c><00:47:52.039><c> camp</c><00:47:52.360><c> outside</c><00:47:52.840><c> the</c><00:47:53.119><c> walls.</c>

00:47:55.019 --> 00:47:57.119
And<00:47:55.199><c> the</c><00:47:55.460><c> stratopedax,</c><00:47:56.260><c> therefore,</c>

00:47:57.340 --> 00:47:59.679

00:47:59.780 --> 00:48:03.239
So<00:48:00.000><c> these</c><00:48:00.300><c> prisoners</c><00:48:00.679><c> having</c><00:48:00.960><c> been</c><00:48:01.260><c> brought</c><00:48:01.420><c> by</c><00:48:01.639><c> the</c><00:48:01.840><c> praetorian</c><00:48:02.300><c> guard</c>

As<00:48:14.059><c> we</c><00:48:14.659><c> said,</c><00:48:15.679><c> their</c><00:48:15.739><c> camp</c><00:48:16.079><c> was</c><00:48:16.360><c> in</c><00:48:16.559><c> close</c><00:48:17.119><c> vicinity</c><00:48:17.980><c> to</c><00:48:18.960><c> the</c>

00:48:21.300 --> 00:48:24.000
Actually,<00:48:21.739><c> we</c><00:48:21.780><c> know</c><00:48:22.099><c> from</c><00:48:22.280><c> history</c><00:48:22.639><c> who</c><00:48:22.840><c> that</c><00:48:23.000><c> man</c><00:48:23.199><c> was.</c>

00:48:24.780 --> 00:48:30.619
It<00:48:24.800><c> was</c><00:48:25.000><c> a</c><00:48:25.000><c> man</c><00:48:25.219><c> called</c><00:48:26.519><c> Ephranius</c><00:48:27.960><c> Barrus,</c><00:48:28.579><c> B</c><00:48:28.840><c>-U</c><00:48:28.940><c>-R</c><00:48:29.300><c>-R</c><00:48:29.619><c>-U</c><00:48:29.920><c>-S.</c>

00:48:30.739 --> 00:48:33.920
And<00:48:30.880><c> history</c><00:48:31.079><c> tells</c><00:48:31.400><c> us</c><00:48:32.139><c> that</c><00:48:32.420><c> he</c><00:48:32.500><c> was</c><00:48:32.619><c> really</c><00:48:33.260><c> a</c><00:48:33.440><c> large</c><00:48:33.699><c> part</c>

00:48:37.579 --> 00:48:39.699
You<00:48:37.699><c> know,</c><00:48:37.800><c> Nero</c><00:48:38.099><c> finished</c><00:48:38.420><c> his</c><00:48:38.699><c> reign</c><00:48:38.820><c> in</c><00:48:39.039><c> 68.</c>

00:48:39.699 --> 00:48:42.039
The<00:48:40.000><c> last</c><00:48:40.360><c> five</c><00:48:40.679><c> years</c><00:48:40.840><c> were</c><00:48:41.099><c> absolutely</c><00:48:41.619><c> a</c><00:48:42.019><c> disaster.</c>

00:48:42.039 --> 00:48:43.960
That's<00:48:42.179><c> what</c><00:48:42.300><c> we</c><00:48:42.420><c> know</c><00:48:42.639><c> about</c><00:48:42.920><c> Nero,</c><00:48:43.260><c> don't</c><00:48:43.460><c> we?</c>

00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:47.000
Everybody<00:48:44.480><c> thinks</c><00:48:44.719><c> of</c><00:48:44.820><c> him</c><00:48:45.019><c> as</c><00:48:45.159><c> a</c><00:48:45.320><c> madman,</c><00:48:45.679><c> and</c><00:48:45.820><c> he</c><00:48:45.920><c> was.</c>

00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:51.699
But<00:48:47.239><c> his</c><00:48:47.460><c> first</c><00:48:48.059><c> five</c><00:48:48.559><c> years</c><00:48:49.000><c> were</c><00:48:49.239><c> really</c><00:48:49.880><c> quite</c><00:48:50.539><c> reasonable.</c>

00:48:51.960 --> 00:48:54.199
In<00:48:52.019><c> fact,</c><00:48:52.239><c> he</c><00:48:52.300><c> was</c><00:48:52.519><c> a</c><00:48:52.679><c> very</c><00:48:53.039><c> brilliant</c><00:48:53.320><c> person</c><00:48:53.780><c> with</c>

00:48:54.199 --> 00:48:55.900
considerable<00:48:54.780><c> capacity.</c>

00:48:56.639 --> 00:48:59.019
So<00:48:56.780><c> from</c><00:48:56.940><c> 63</c><00:48:57.360><c> to</c><00:48:57.559><c> 68</c><00:48:58.019><c> was</c><00:48:58.239><c> just</c><00:48:58.539><c> a</c><00:48:58.679><c> disaster.</c>

00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:01.159
We<00:48:59.280><c> know</c><00:48:59.519><c> some</c><00:48:59.719><c> of</c><00:48:59.900><c> the</c><00:48:59.900><c> things</c><00:49:00.039><c> he</c><00:49:00.260><c> did.</c>

00:49:01.780 --> 00:49:06.860
But<00:49:02.019><c> in</c><00:49:02.179><c> the</c><00:49:02.280><c> earlier</c><00:49:02.500><c> part</c><00:49:02.739><c> of</c><00:49:02.900><c> his</c><00:49:03.119><c> reign,</c><00:49:03.780><c> he</c><00:49:03.940><c> had</c><00:49:04.159><c> been</c><00:49:04.380><c> quite</c><00:49:04.780><c> moderate</c><00:49:05.380><c> and</c><00:49:06.059><c> astute.</c>

00:49:06.860 --> 00:49:12.260
And<00:49:07.219><c> this</c><00:49:07.440><c> man,</c><00:49:08.480><c> Ephranius</c><00:49:09.079><c> Barrus,</c><00:49:09.739><c> was</c><00:49:10.380><c> one</c><00:49:10.880><c> of</c><00:49:11.000><c> the</c><00:49:11.139><c> pillars</c><00:49:11.599><c> of</c><00:49:12.079><c> the</c>

00:49:12.260 --> 00:49:13.440
Nero<00:49:12.619><c> administration.</c>

00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:17.940
And<00:49:15.860><c> so</c><00:49:16.219><c> that's</c><00:49:16.500><c> who</c><00:49:16.719><c> he</c><00:49:16.880><c> was</c><00:49:17.139><c> delivered</c><00:49:17.420><c> to.</c>

00:49:18.280 --> 00:49:19.599
But<00:49:18.400><c> then</c><00:49:18.500><c> it</c><00:49:18.639><c> says,</c>

00:49:19.659 --> 00:49:24.119
But<00:49:19.659><c> Paul</c><00:49:19.960><c> was</c><00:49:20.219><c> suffered</c><00:49:20.480><c> to</c><00:49:20.719><c> dwell</c><00:49:21.000><c> by</c><00:49:21.460><c> himself</c><00:49:22.300><c> with</c><00:49:23.260><c> a</c><00:49:23.539><c> soldier</c><00:49:23.820><c> that</c>

00:49:24.119 --> 00:49:25.239
kept<00:49:24.340><c> him.</c>

00:49:25.380 --> 00:49:31.679
Again,<00:49:26.360><c> the</c><00:49:26.599><c> hand</c><00:49:26.780><c> of</c><00:49:27.000><c> God</c><00:49:27.639><c> to</c><00:49:28.260><c> give</c><00:49:28.500><c> him</c><00:49:28.780><c> a</c><00:49:29.239><c> special</c><00:49:29.579><c> place</c><00:49:30.179><c> with</c><00:49:31.380><c> a</c>

00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:33.659
soldier<00:49:32.000><c> that</c><00:49:32.300><c> kept</c><00:49:32.480><c> him.</c>

00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:37.619
This<00:49:35.000><c> is</c><00:49:35.559><c> the</c><00:49:35.719><c> year</c><00:49:36.000><c> AD</c><00:49:36.320><c> 61.</c>

00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:41.840
It<00:49:38.360><c> is</c><00:49:38.579><c> really</c><00:49:38.800><c> quite</c><00:49:39.059><c> remarkable,</c><00:49:39.760><c> isn't</c><00:49:39.920><c> it</c><00:49:40.099><c> not,</c><00:49:41.039><c> that</c><00:49:41.360><c> Barrus</c><00:49:41.659><c> is</c>

00:49:41.840 --> 00:49:42.380
still<00:49:42.159><c> there.</c>

00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:46.380
And<00:49:42.800><c> again,</c><00:49:43.619><c> he</c><00:49:44.019><c> entreats</c><00:49:44.440><c> him</c><00:49:45.179><c> courteously.</c>

00:49:46.900 --> 00:49:50.179
The<00:49:47.019><c> Roman</c><00:49:47.360><c> world</c><00:49:47.679><c> is</c><00:49:47.900><c> almost</c><00:49:48.179><c> going</c><00:49:48.519><c> out</c><00:49:48.880><c> of</c><00:49:49.019><c> its</c><00:49:49.280><c> way.</c>

00:49:50.380 --> 00:49:54.559
Not<00:49:50.500><c> so</c><00:49:50.659><c> long</c><00:49:50.800><c> before</c><00:49:51.099><c> this,</c><00:49:52.440><c> 470</c><00:49:53.380><c> men</c><00:49:53.780><c> got</c><00:49:53.960><c> up</c><00:49:54.179><c> in</c><00:49:54.340><c> the</c><00:49:54.420><c> middle</c>

00:49:54.559 --> 00:49:55.860

00:49:55.860 --> 00:49:58.480
and<00:49:56.159><c> went</c><00:49:56.320><c> all</c><00:49:56.619><c> the</c><00:49:56.719><c> way</c><00:49:56.900><c> down</c><00:49:57.079><c> to</c><00:49:57.239><c> Antipatres.</c>

00:49:58.539 --> 00:50:02.260
What<00:49:58.719><c> an</c><00:49:58.920><c> incredible</c><00:49:59.199><c> thing</c><00:49:59.380><c> that</c><00:49:59.599><c> was</c><00:49:59.739><c> to</c><00:50:00.019><c> save</c><00:50:00.519><c> one</c><00:50:00.800><c> man's</c><00:50:01.219><c> life.</c>

00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:05.260
Forty<00:50:03.320><c> men</c><00:50:03.400><c> had</c><00:50:03.619><c> bound</c><00:50:03.719><c> themselves</c><00:50:04.119><c> with</c><00:50:04.320><c> an</c><00:50:04.500><c> oath.</c>

00:50:06.820 --> 00:50:11.420
And<00:50:06.840><c> the</c><00:50:06.840><c> man,</c><00:50:08.059><c> Claudius</c><00:50:08.239><c> Lysius,</c><00:50:08.659><c> he</c><00:50:08.760><c> put</c><00:50:09.380><c> 470</c><00:50:10.679><c> men</c><00:50:11.059><c> out</c><00:50:11.340><c> of</c>

00:50:20.980 --> 00:50:23.179
And<00:50:21.059><c> here</c><00:50:21.219><c> again,</c><00:50:21.800><c> right</c><00:50:21.920><c> at</c><00:50:22.039><c> the</c><00:50:22.059><c> whole</c><00:50:22.320><c> end</c><00:50:22.480><c> of</c><00:50:22.719><c> the</c><00:50:22.800><c> story,</c>

00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:25.179
it's<00:50:23.880><c> the</c><00:50:24.039><c> same</c><00:50:24.320><c> thing</c><00:50:24.559><c> on</c><00:50:24.719><c> the</c><00:50:24.900><c> boat.</c>

00:50:25.420 --> 00:50:26.500
Julius<00:50:25.699><c> treats</c><00:50:25.980><c> him</c><00:50:26.239><c> courteously.</c>

00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:31.400
Here<00:50:26.960><c> again,</c><00:50:28.800><c> Ephranius</c><00:50:29.260><c> Barrus</c><00:50:29.900><c> treats</c><00:50:30.199><c> him</c><00:50:30.500><c> courteously.</c>

00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:34.139
Alright,<00:50:32.300><c> you</c><00:50:32.360><c> can</c><00:50:32.539><c> have</c><00:50:32.659><c> your</c><00:50:32.840><c> own</c><00:50:33.059><c> place.</c>

00:50:35.019 --> 00:50:36.260
Why<00:50:35.179><c> was</c><00:50:35.380><c> that?</c>

00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:40.440
He<00:50:38.840><c> never</c><00:50:39.039><c> met</c><00:50:39.219><c> him,</c><00:50:39.440><c> had</c><00:50:39.519><c> he?</c>

00:50:40.860 --> 00:50:42.639
Never<00:50:41.099><c> met</c><00:50:41.260><c> him</c><00:50:41.360><c> in</c><00:50:41.460><c> his</c><00:50:41.639><c> life.</c>

00:50:43.519 --> 00:50:44.840
How<00:50:43.659><c> do</c><00:50:43.739><c> you</c><00:50:43.820><c> work</c><00:50:43.920><c> it</c><00:50:44.059><c> out?</c>

00:50:46.039 --> 00:50:50.039
Well,<00:50:46.559><c> I</c><00:50:46.679><c> suppose</c><00:50:47.079><c> Julius</c><00:50:47.460><c> didn't</c><00:50:47.699><c> just</c><00:50:47.960><c> say,</c><00:50:48.599><c> here</c><00:50:48.760><c> they</c><00:50:49.039><c> are.</c>

00:50:51.320 --> 00:50:56.000
He<00:50:51.760><c> would</c><00:50:51.960><c> have</c><00:50:52.039><c> said,</c><00:50:53.820><c> this</c><00:50:54.039><c> man</c><00:50:54.300><c> is</c><00:50:54.480><c> something</c><00:50:54.760><c> special.</c>

00:50:57.539 --> 00:50:59.480
I<00:50:57.699><c> want</c><00:50:57.880><c> to</c><00:50:58.000><c> tell</c><00:50:58.119><c> you</c><00:50:58.199><c> about</c><00:50:58.380><c> this</c><00:50:58.659><c> man.</c>

00:50:59.780 --> 00:51:01.780
He<00:51:00.219><c> saved</c><00:51:00.519><c> my</c><00:51:00.739><c> life.</c>

00:51:02.619 --> 00:51:03.960
And<00:51:02.780><c> he</c><00:51:02.960><c> saved</c><00:51:03.079><c> the</c><00:51:03.260><c> life</c><00:51:03.400><c> of</c><00:51:03.599><c> all</c><00:51:03.719><c> of</c><00:51:03.860><c> us.</c>

00:51:04.019 --> 00:51:06.760
Oh,<00:51:04.280><c> come</c><00:51:04.460><c> on.</c><00:51:04.980><c> What's</c><00:51:05.260><c> this</c><00:51:05.400><c> sentimental</c><00:51:05.840><c> nonsense?</c>

00:51:06.920 --> 00:51:09.300
Look,<00:51:07.079><c> I</c><00:51:07.179><c> want</c><00:51:07.360><c> to</c><00:51:07.519><c> tell</c><00:51:07.659><c> you,</c><00:51:07.940><c> Barrus,</c><00:51:08.059><c> about</c><00:51:08.300><c> this</c><00:51:08.579><c> man.</c>

00:51:09.699 --> 00:51:12.480

00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:31.599
We've<00:52:29.260><c> had</c><00:52:29.340><c> the</c><00:52:29.460><c> most</c><00:52:29.820><c> amazing</c><00:52:30.760><c> trip.</c>

00:52:32.460 --> 00:52:33.760
Just<00:52:32.719><c> can't</c><00:52:32.960><c> believe</c><00:52:33.320><c> it.</c>

00:52:33.940 --> 00:52:35.599

00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:45.800
What's<00:53:44.800><c> he</c><00:53:44.900><c> thinking?</c>

00:53:47.239 --> 00:53:48.980
All<00:53:47.639><c> those</c><00:53:47.880><c> prayers.</c>

00:53:49.820 --> 00:53:52.300

Here<00:53:57.219><c> they</c><00:53:57.400><c> are</c><00:53:57.500><c> being</c><00:53:57.800><c> fulfilled.</c>

00:53:58.239 --> 00:53:59.920
That's<00:53:58.420><c> what</c><00:53:58.539><c> he</c><00:53:58.679><c> would</c><00:53:58.900><c> have</c><00:53:59.159><c> thought.</c>

00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:01.559
There<00:54:00.219><c> isn't</c><00:54:00.380><c> any</c><00:54:00.699><c> doubt</c><00:54:00.900><c> of</c><00:54:01.099><c> that,</c><00:54:01.380><c> is</c><00:54:01.400><c> there?</c>

00:54:01.840 --> 00:54:03.980
As<00:54:01.960><c> he</c><00:54:02.159><c> stood</c><00:54:02.420><c> there</c><00:54:03.019><c> and</c><00:54:03.320><c> said,</c>

00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:07.059
why<00:54:04.440><c> are</c><00:54:04.599><c> you</c><00:54:04.679><c> giving</c><00:54:04.880><c> me</c><00:54:05.159><c> a</c><00:54:05.320><c> house</c><00:54:05.659><c> when</c><00:54:05.900><c> not</c><00:54:06.219><c> these?</c>

00:54:07.500 --> 00:54:08.880

00:54:13.039 --> 00:54:14.920
With<00:54:13.219><c> Boris,</c><00:54:13.579><c> a</c><00:54:13.679><c> very</c><00:54:14.059><c> important</c><00:54:14.400><c> person,</c>

00:54:15.300 --> 00:54:17.539
sealing<00:54:15.579><c> the</c><00:54:15.840><c> fact</c><00:54:16.000><c> that</c><00:54:16.159><c> that's</c><00:54:16.360><c> what</c><00:54:16.480><c> he</c><00:54:16.619><c> would</c><00:54:16.840><c> have.</c>

00:54:19.139 --> 00:54:21.630
He<00:54:19.599><c> would</c><00:54:19.800><c> have</c><00:54:19.920><c> thanked</c><00:54:20.139><c> God</c><00:54:20.440><c> and</c><00:54:20.659><c> taken</c><00:54:20.900><c> courage.</c>

00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:27.380
And<00:54:23.039><c> so</c><00:54:23.179><c> they</c><00:54:23.320><c> went</c><00:54:23.559><c> to</c><00:54:23.820><c> Rome</c><00:54:23.960><c> and</c><00:54:24.159><c> so</c><00:54:24.400><c> they</c><00:54:25.699><c> came</c><00:54:26.039><c> to</c><00:54:26.260><c> Rome.</c>

00:54:27.920 --> 00:54:30.119
And<00:54:28.059><c> then</c><00:54:28.179><c> after</c><00:54:28.420><c> three</c><00:54:28.659><c> days</c><00:54:28.940><c> he</c><00:54:29.119><c> called</c>

00:54:36.719 --> 00:54:38.079
My<00:54:36.760><c> dear</c><00:54:36.880><c> brethren</c><00:54:37.099><c> and</c><00:54:37.260><c> sisters,</c>

00:54:39.659 --> 00:54:42.239
it<00:54:40.119><c> may</c><00:54:40.340><c> be</c><00:54:40.500><c> difficult</c><00:54:40.820><c> for</c><00:54:41.019><c> us</c><00:54:41.199><c> sometimes</c><00:54:41.659><c> in</c><00:54:41.840><c> our</c><00:54:41.960><c> lives</c>

00:54:42.239 --> 00:54:45.480
to<00:54:42.940><c> feel</c><00:54:43.219><c> that</c><00:54:43.380><c> God</c><00:54:43.599><c> is</c><00:54:43.800><c> as</c><00:54:44.099><c> close</c><00:54:44.280><c> as</c><00:54:44.480><c> that,</c>

00:54:46.099 --> 00:54:49.599
but<00:54:46.539><c> that's</c><00:54:46.820><c> really</c><00:54:47.139><c> the</c><00:54:47.320><c> moral</c><00:54:47.519><c> of</c><00:54:47.699><c> this</c><00:54:47.920><c> story,</c><00:54:48.159><c> isn't</c><00:54:48.400><c> it?</c>

00:54:50.079 --> 00:54:53.980
That<00:54:50.260><c> never</c><00:54:50.539><c> mind</c><00:54:50.780><c> what</c><00:54:51.099><c> circumstances</c><00:54:51.900><c> of</c><00:54:52.159><c> life</c><00:54:52.420><c> we</c><00:54:52.619><c> may</c><00:54:52.800><c> be</c><00:54:53.000><c> in,</c>

00:54:54.920 --> 00:54:57.699
that's<00:54:55.119><c> how</c><00:54:55.280><c> we</c><00:54:55.400><c> are</c><00:54:55.480><c> to</c><00:54:55.639><c> see</c><00:54:55.960><c> our</c><00:54:56.219><c> Heavenly</c><00:54:56.559><c> Father.</c>

00:54:58.000 --> 00:55:00.780
Now<00:54:58.159><c> God</c><00:54:58.320><c> is</c><00:54:58.460><c> not</c><00:54:58.619><c> a</c><00:54:58.699><c> long</c><00:54:58.820><c> way</c><00:54:59.000><c> up</c><00:54:59.239><c> there.</c>

00:55:01.800 --> 00:55:02.960
He's<00:55:01.960><c> not.</c>

00:55:04.380 --> 00:55:07.780

00:55:09.300 --> 00:55:10.960
He's<00:55:09.460><c> not</c><00:55:09.579><c> a</c><00:55:09.639><c> long</c><00:55:09.699><c> way</c><00:55:09.880><c> over</c><00:55:10.099><c> there.</c>

00:55:12.360 --> 00:55:13.800

00:55:13.800 --> 00:55:16.460
He<00:55:14.119><c> says</c><00:55:14.300><c> He</c><00:55:14.380><c> will</c><00:55:14.619><c> be,</c><00:55:14.760><c> doesn't</c><00:55:14.980><c> He?</c>

00:55:17.539 --> 00:55:18.760
They're<00:55:17.900><c> angels,</c>

00:55:23.000 --> 00:55:24.400
And<00:55:23.119><c> they're</c><00:55:23.199><c> there</c><00:55:23.380><c> with</c><00:55:23.519><c> us</c><00:55:23.719><c> today.</c>

00:55:26.000 --> 00:55:27.059
You<00:55:26.000><c> may</c><00:55:26.199><c> not</c><00:55:26.380><c> see</c><00:55:26.619><c> them,</c>

00:55:27.219 --> 00:55:28.760

Yeah,<00:55:45.780><c> okay.</c>

00:55:57.340 --> 00:56:01.300
Mountains<00:55:57.579><c> can</c><00:55:57.840><c> be</c><00:55:58.099><c> overcome,</c><00:55:58.679><c> depths</c><00:55:58.940><c> can</c><00:56:00.000><c> be</c><00:56:00.199><c> overcome.</c>

00:56:01.460 --> 00:56:03.579
That<00:56:01.599><c> God</c><00:56:01.760><c> is</c><00:56:02.039><c> there</c><00:56:02.159><c> to</c><00:56:02.440><c> give</c><00:56:02.539><c> us</c><00:56:02.800><c> vindication</c>

00:56:04.139 --> 00:56:06.000
through<00:56:04.579><c> all</c><00:56:04.920><c> the</c><00:56:05.139><c> different</c><00:56:05.420><c> circumstances</c>

00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:07.960
that<00:56:06.219><c> might</c><00:56:06.440><c> come</c><00:56:06.619><c> in</c><00:56:06.780><c> our</c><00:56:06.940><c> life.</c>

00:56:09.340 --> 00:56:11.340
If<00:56:09.780><c> we</c><00:56:10.039><c> will</c><00:56:10.179><c> be</c><00:56:10.300><c> with</c><00:56:10.480><c> Him</c><00:56:10.800><c> and</c><00:56:10.860><c> seek</c><00:56:11.139><c> Him,</c>

00:56:11.440 --> 00:56:13.159
then<00:56:11.519><c> He</c><00:56:11.659><c> will</c><00:56:11.880><c> truly</c><00:56:12.159><c> seek</c><00:56:12.440><c> us.</c>

00:56:15.739 --> 00:56:17.679
So<00:56:16.059><c> we</c><00:56:16.260><c> went</c><00:56:16.480><c> towards</c><00:56:16.860><c> Rome</c>

00:56:17.860 --> 00:56:20.039
and<00:56:18.300><c> so</c><00:56:18.539><c> the</c><00:56:18.659><c> Apostle</c><00:56:19.039><c> Paul,</c><00:56:19.199><c> my</c><00:56:19.400><c> dear</c><00:56:19.559><c> brothers</c><00:56:19.739><c> and</c><00:56:19.940><c> sisters,</c>

00:56:20.179 --> 00:56:22.239
came<00:56:20.440><c> as</c><00:56:20.659><c> a</c><00:56:20.739><c> conqueror.</c>

00:56:22.380 --> 00:56:24.699
What<00:56:22.559><c> a</c><00:56:22.880><c> strange</c><00:56:23.360><c> thing</c><00:56:23.559><c> he</c><00:56:23.699><c> must</c><00:56:23.940><c> have</c><00:56:24.039><c> thought</c><00:56:24.199><c> it</c><00:56:24.400><c> was.</c>

00:56:24.840 --> 00:56:26.860
He<00:56:24.960><c> was</c><00:56:25.539><c> crestfallen</c><00:56:26.159><c> in</c><00:56:26.440><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:56:27.239 --> 00:56:29.539
He<00:56:27.440><c> thought</c><00:56:27.599><c> that's</c><00:56:27.900><c> what</c><00:56:28.019><c> he</c><00:56:28.239><c> had</c><00:56:28.519><c> to</c><00:56:28.699><c> do.</c>

00:56:29.820 --> 00:56:32.679
And<00:56:29.940><c> he</c><00:56:30.360><c> broke</c><00:56:30.380><c> his</c><00:56:30.860><c> heart</c><00:56:31.320><c> when</c><00:56:31.659><c> he</c><00:56:31.860><c> couldn't</c><00:56:32.159><c> do</c><00:56:32.380><c> it.</c>

00:56:32.860 --> 00:56:34.539
Bound<00:56:33.260><c> in</c><00:56:33.599><c> Caesarea</c><00:56:33.920><c> for</c><00:56:34.139><c> two</c><00:56:34.340><c> years,</c>

00:56:34.619 --> 00:56:35.800
just<00:56:34.900><c> away</c><00:56:35.219><c> from</c><00:56:35.360><c> his</c><00:56:35.539><c> people.</c>

00:56:35.800 --> 00:56:37.719
But<00:56:36.239><c> now</c><00:56:36.500><c> look</c><00:56:36.659><c> what's</c><00:56:36.940><c> happened.</c>

00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:40.920
A<00:56:38.039><c> whole</c><00:56:38.239><c> new</c><00:56:38.579><c> field</c><00:56:38.920><c> of</c><00:56:39.159><c> endeavor</c><00:56:39.380><c> has</c><00:56:39.659><c> opened</c><00:56:39.900><c> up.</c>

00:56:41.039 --> 00:56:42.900
That's<00:56:41.320><c> true</c><00:56:41.480><c> in</c><00:56:41.619><c> our</c><00:56:41.800><c> brotherhood</c><00:56:42.119><c> at</c><00:56:42.340><c> the</c><00:56:42.400><c> present</c><00:56:42.579><c> time.</c>

00:56:43.039 --> 00:56:45.619
We<00:56:43.079><c> have</c><00:56:43.420><c> whole</c><00:56:43.920><c> realms</c><00:56:44.340><c> of</c><00:56:44.599><c> new</c><00:56:44.820><c> endeavor.</c>

00:56:46.480 --> 00:56:48.219
We<00:56:46.639><c> put</c><00:56:46.800><c> on</c><00:56:47.000><c> our</c><00:56:47.139><c> lectures</c><00:56:47.380><c> night</c><00:56:47.639><c> by</c><00:56:47.880><c> night.</c>

00:56:48.500 --> 00:56:49.519
We<00:56:48.659><c> never</c><00:56:48.860><c> seem</c><00:56:49.019><c> to</c><00:56:49.119><c> get</c><00:56:49.219><c> anybody.</c>

00:56:49.619 --> 00:56:51.159
But<00:56:49.780><c> it's</c><00:56:50.059><c> changing,</c><00:56:50.559><c> isn't</c><00:56:50.699><c> it?</c>

00:56:51.480 --> 00:56:53.219
There<00:56:51.699><c> is</c><00:56:51.920><c> a</c><00:56:52.059><c> people</c><00:56:52.300><c> that</c><00:56:52.539><c> need</c><00:56:52.739><c> to</c><00:56:52.900><c> be</c><00:56:53.079><c> helped.</c>

00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:54.480
There<00:56:53.400><c> is</c><00:56:53.579><c> a</c><00:56:53.760><c> work</c><00:56:53.920><c> to</c><00:56:54.119><c> be</c><00:56:54.280><c> done.</c>

00:56:54.719 --> 00:56:56.820
There<00:56:54.840><c> are</c><00:56:55.099><c> children</c><00:56:55.440><c> to</c><00:56:55.619><c> be</c><00:56:55.860><c> saved.</c>

00:56:59.019 --> 00:57:00.179
And<00:56:59.360><c> it</c><00:56:59.500><c> might</c><00:56:59.679><c> seem</c><00:56:59.860><c> to</c><00:56:59.980><c> us</c>

00:57:00.179 --> 00:57:01.920
that<00:57:00.340><c> it's</c><00:57:00.480><c> almost</c><00:57:00.679><c> impossible</c><00:57:01.219><c> to</c><00:57:01.480><c> save</c><00:57:01.639><c> children.</c>

00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:03.199
It's<00:57:02.260><c> not.</c>

00:57:03.760 --> 00:57:05.539
We<00:57:04.280><c> must</c><00:57:04.579><c> save</c><00:57:04.940><c> those</c><00:57:05.280><c> children.</c>

00:57:05.639 --> 00:57:10.420
No<00:57:05.780><c> matter</c><00:57:07.059><c> how</c><00:57:07.659><c> deep</c><00:57:08.599><c> the</c><00:57:08.960><c> problems</c><00:57:09.280><c> might</c><00:57:09.659><c> be,</c>

00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:13.500
in<00:57:10.800><c> the</c><00:57:11.219><c> circumstances</c><00:57:11.960><c> of</c><00:57:12.159><c> bringing</c><00:57:12.460><c> them</c><00:57:12.599><c> up</c><00:57:12.719><c> in</c><00:57:12.820><c> a</c><00:57:13.079><c> very</c>

00:57:13.500 --> 00:57:14.780
godless<00:57:13.820><c> world,</c>

00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:16.880
we<00:57:15.099><c> can</c><00:57:15.440><c> save</c><00:57:15.800><c> our</c><00:57:16.000><c> children.</c>

00:57:17.500 --> 00:57:21.039
If<00:57:17.579><c> we</c><00:57:17.760><c> put</c><00:57:18.039><c> our</c><00:57:18.400><c> hand</c><00:57:18.639><c> to</c><00:57:18.840><c> the</c><00:57:19.019><c> plough</c><00:57:19.239><c> and</c><00:57:19.659><c> put</c><00:57:20.039><c> God</c><00:57:20.320><c> before</c><00:57:20.659><c> us,</c>

00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:23.119
work<00:57:21.440><c> with</c><00:57:21.679><c> him</c><00:57:21.840><c> in</c><00:57:22.000><c> the</c><00:57:22.159><c> saving</c><00:57:22.420><c> of</c><00:57:22.559><c> those</c><00:57:22.800><c> children</c>

00:57:23.119 --> 00:57:25.800
and<00:57:23.500><c> bring</c><00:57:23.699><c> our</c><00:57:23.920><c> Bible</c><00:57:24.260><c> into</c><00:57:24.559><c> our</c><00:57:24.840><c> homes.</c>

00:57:26.599 --> 00:57:28.380
That's<00:57:26.860><c> what</c><00:57:27.000><c> was</c><00:57:27.239><c> motivating</c><00:57:27.659><c> the</c><00:57:27.860><c> Apostle</c><00:57:28.199><c> Paul.</c>

00:57:28.420 --> 00:57:29.880
It's<00:57:28.599><c> a</c><00:57:28.719><c> word</c><00:57:28.960><c> of</c><00:57:29.079><c> God</c><00:57:29.320><c> in</c><00:57:29.480><c> his</c><00:57:29.659><c> mind.</c>

00:57:29.900 --> 00:57:31.820
He<00:57:29.980><c> could</c><00:57:30.239><c> see</c><00:57:30.460><c> that</c><00:57:30.599><c> God</c><00:57:30.739><c> was</c><00:57:30.940><c> with</c><00:57:31.059><c> him</c>

00:57:32.699 --> 00:57:35.099
as<00:57:32.699><c> he</c><00:57:32.699><c> said,</c><00:57:33.019><c> and</c><00:57:33.159><c> he</c><00:57:33.159><c> could</c><00:57:33.460><c> see</c><00:57:33.820><c> God</c><00:57:34.119><c> there.</c>

00:57:35.400 --> 00:57:36.940
That's<00:57:35.719><c> why</c><00:57:35.719><c> he</c><00:57:35.980><c> prayed</c><00:57:36.260><c> so</c><00:57:36.599><c> intensely</c>

00:57:36.940 --> 00:57:38.239
and<00:57:37.079><c> asked</c><00:57:37.320><c> others</c><00:57:37.639><c> to</c><00:57:37.920><c> pray.</c>

00:57:38.619 --> 00:57:39.579
And<00:57:38.760><c> therefore</c><00:57:38.900><c> when</c><00:57:39.099><c> things</c><00:57:39.360><c> happened,</c>

00:57:39.579 --> 00:57:41.340
they<00:57:39.699><c> didn't</c><00:57:39.880><c> happen</c><00:57:40.099><c> by</c><00:57:40.380><c> chance.</c>

00:57:41.579 --> 00:57:43.659
He<00:57:41.820><c> saw</c><00:57:41.980><c> that</c><00:57:42.139><c> they</c><00:57:42.360><c> happened</c><00:57:42.559><c> because</c><00:57:42.920><c> God</c><00:57:43.139><c> was</c><00:57:43.380><c> working</c>

00:57:43.659 --> 00:57:44.920
with<00:57:43.960><c> him.</c>

00:57:45.219 --> 00:57:46.719
There<00:57:45.340><c> with</c><00:57:45.440><c> him</c><00:57:45.559><c> in</c><00:57:45.679><c> the</c><00:57:45.820><c> castle.</c>

00:57:46.739 --> 00:57:48.739
There<00:57:46.880><c> with</c><00:57:47.039><c> him</c><00:57:47.139><c> in</c><00:57:47.280><c> the</c><00:57:47.360><c> depths</c><00:57:47.539><c> of</c><00:57:47.739><c> the</c><00:57:47.880><c> ocean.</c>

00:57:49.019 --> 00:57:50.400
There<00:57:49.159><c> with</c><00:57:49.300><c> him</c><00:57:49.480><c> in</c><00:57:49.639><c> Milita.</c>

00:57:50.500 --> 00:57:52.980
There<00:57:50.659><c> when</c><00:57:50.780><c> he</c><00:57:50.900><c> came</c><00:57:51.539><c> to</c><00:57:52.000><c> the</c><00:57:52.159><c> Porta</c><00:57:52.519><c> Capina.</c>

00:57:53.280 --> 00:57:54.639
In<00:57:53.460><c> all</c><00:57:53.659><c> of</c><00:57:53.820><c> those</c><00:57:53.980><c> steps,</c>

00:57:55.039 --> 00:57:58.139
right<00:57:55.239><c> up</c><00:57:55.539><c> to</c><00:57:55.860><c> Barus's</c><00:57:56.599><c> courteous</c><00:57:57.219><c> greeting,</c>

00:57:58.340 --> 00:58:01.199
he<00:57:58.519><c> could</c><00:57:58.780><c> see</c><00:57:58.940><c> that</c><00:57:59.119><c> the</c><00:57:59.260><c> good</c><00:57:59.420><c> hand</c><00:57:59.639><c> of</c><00:57:59.760><c> God</c><00:57:59.920><c> was</c><00:58:00.119><c> with</c><00:58:00.340><c> him.</c>

00:58:01.320 --> 00:58:03.199
And<00:58:01.860><c> it's</c><00:58:02.139><c> the</c><00:58:02.239><c> same</c><00:58:02.380><c> today.</c>

00:58:18.059 --> 00:58:19.260
