And<00:01:07.459><c> in</c><00:01:07.680><c> particular</c><00:01:08.079><c> we're</c><00:01:08.420><c> going</c><00:01:08.560><c> to</c><00:01:08.719><c> look</c><00:01:08.939><c> at</c><00:01:09.140><c> them</c><00:01:09.620><c> with</c><00:01:09.879><c> respect</c><00:01:10.400><c> to</c>

00:01:15.379 --> 00:01:22.719
I<00:01:15.980><c> take</c><00:01:16.359><c> it</c><00:01:16.640><c> as</c><00:01:17.019><c> a</c><00:01:18.719><c> basic</c><00:01:19.480><c> fundamental</c><00:01:20.340><c> notion</c><00:01:21.000><c> that</c><00:01:21.760><c> the</c><00:01:22.040><c> Psalms</c><00:01:22.420><c> and</c>

00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:30.879
the<00:01:27.719><c> life,</c><00:01:28.299><c> the</c><00:01:28.420><c> death,</c><00:01:28.879><c> the</c><00:01:28.959><c> resurrection,</c><00:01:29.599><c> the</c><00:01:29.739><c> ascension,</c>

the<00:01:31.280><c> high</c><00:01:31.579><c> priesthood</c><00:01:31.959><c> and</c><00:01:32.099><c> the</c><00:01:32.280><c> return</c><00:01:32.560><c> of</c><00:01:32.739><c> Christ</c><00:01:33.040><c> to</c><00:01:33.280><c> the</c><00:01:33.500><c> earth.</c>

00:01:34.019 --> 00:01:39.239
I<00:01:34.239><c> take</c><00:01:34.500><c> it</c><00:01:34.680><c> for</c><00:01:34.859><c> granted</c><00:01:35.340><c> that</c><00:01:35.799><c> the</c><00:01:36.040><c> Proverbs</c><00:01:36.439><c> and</c><00:01:36.659><c> the</c><00:01:36.859><c> Psalms</c><00:01:37.239><c> predict</c><00:01:38.079><c> those</c><00:01:38.599><c> things.</c>

00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:42.920
They<00:01:39.719><c> could</c><00:01:39.980><c> therefore</c><00:01:40.359><c> be</c><00:01:40.659><c> called</c><00:01:40.959><c> the</c><00:01:41.219><c> fifth</c><00:01:41.739><c> gospel.</c>

That<00:01:44.780><c> is</c><00:01:45.239><c> my</c><00:01:45.420><c> baseline</c><00:01:46.500><c> of</c><00:01:47.260><c> approach.</c>

00:01:49.060 --> 00:01:52.120
So<00:01:49.180><c> the</c><00:01:49.359><c> Psalms</c><00:01:49.760><c> are</c><00:01:49.980><c> like</c><00:01:50.120><c> a</c><00:01:50.319><c> beautiful</c><00:01:50.739><c> tapestry.</c>

00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.819
The<00:01:53.040><c> threads</c><00:01:53.459><c> are</c><00:01:53.700><c> the</c><00:01:53.920><c> individual</c><00:01:54.540><c> phrases.</c>

00:01:56.180 --> 00:01:59.959
They<00:01:56.420><c> are</c><00:01:56.760><c> blended</c><00:01:57.140><c> together</c><00:01:57.879><c> to</c><00:01:58.379><c> form</c><00:01:58.640><c> a</c><00:01:58.939><c> beautiful</c><00:01:59.319><c> picture</c>

00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.659
It's<00:02:09.120><c> the</c><00:02:09.319><c> power</c><00:02:09.520><c> of</c><00:02:09.819><c> inspiration.</c>

00:02:11.060 --> 00:02:15.080
Whether<00:02:11.319><c> the</c><00:02:11.620><c> Psalms</c><00:02:11.939><c> are</c><00:02:12.139><c> written</c><00:02:12.319><c> by</c><00:02:12.620><c> David</c><00:02:13.039><c> or</c><00:02:13.259><c> by</c><00:02:13.419><c> Hezekiah</c><00:02:14.199><c> or</c><00:02:14.819><c> some</c>

00:02:21.020 --> 00:02:25.300
Means<00:02:21.439><c> that</c><00:02:21.680><c> God</c><00:02:21.960><c> selected</c><00:02:22.599><c> men</c><00:02:23.139><c> here</c><00:02:23.580><c> and</c><00:02:23.960><c> there</c><00:02:24.379><c> in</c><00:02:24.939><c> various</c>

00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:52.580
Jesus<00:02:49.120><c> was</c><00:02:50.340><c> the</c><00:02:50.560><c> Son</c><00:02:50.759><c> of</c><00:02:51.020><c> God.</c>

00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:38.580
Thou<00:03:35.060><c> hast</c><00:03:35.219><c> put</c><00:03:35.439><c> all</c><00:03:35.840><c> things</c><00:03:36.599><c> under</c><00:03:37.259><c> his</c><00:03:37.599><c> feet.</c>

00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:43.620
And<00:03:39.340><c> the</c><00:03:39.620><c> psalm</c><00:03:39.919><c> is</c><00:03:40.039><c> speaking</c><00:03:40.360><c> of</c><00:03:40.599><c> God</c><00:03:41.479><c> who</c><00:03:42.680><c> was</c><00:03:42.919><c> the</c><00:03:43.159><c> Father</c>

00:03:44.860 --> 00:03:48.960
And<00:03:45.740><c> who</c><00:03:46.039><c> will</c><00:03:46.280><c> ultimately</c><00:03:46.860><c> put</c><00:03:47.199><c> all</c><00:03:47.620><c> things,</c><00:03:48.400><c> all</c><00:03:48.639><c> things</c>

00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.080
And<00:03:55.740><c> so</c><00:03:55.860><c> we</c><00:03:56.000><c> have</c><00:03:56.199><c> encapsulated</c><00:03:56.979><c> in</c><00:03:57.159><c> those</c><00:03:57.419><c> two</c><00:03:57.639><c> verses</c><00:03:58.219><c> the</c>

00:04:15.939 --> 00:04:19.480
It's<00:04:16.160><c> Hebrews</c><00:04:16.500><c> which</c><00:04:16.860><c> picks</c><00:04:17.139><c> up</c><00:04:17.459><c> the</c><00:04:17.740><c> psalm</c><00:04:18.560><c> and</c><00:04:18.819><c> interprets</c>

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.600
And<00:04:24.160><c> so</c><00:04:24.319><c> we</c><00:04:24.480><c> know</c><00:04:24.899><c> that</c><00:04:25.160><c> that</c><00:04:25.300><c> which</c><00:04:25.439><c> we</c><00:04:25.639><c> are</c><00:04:25.720><c> talking</c><00:04:26.079><c> about</c>

00:04:29.060 --> 00:04:32.860

00:04:33.220 --> 00:04:34.860

this<00:05:51.620><c> morning.</c>

00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:57.060
It<00:05:53.199><c> was</c><00:05:53.500><c> fascinating</c><00:05:54.139><c> the</c><00:05:54.379><c> way</c><00:05:54.680><c> that</c><00:05:54.879><c> he</c><00:05:55.000><c> began</c><00:05:55.360><c> in</c><00:05:55.579><c> Genesis</c><00:05:55.899><c> 1.</c>

00:05:57.100 --> 00:06:00.779
And<00:05:57.220><c> we</c><00:05:57.420><c> now</c><00:05:57.660><c> take</c><00:05:58.000><c> on</c><00:05:58.240><c> from</c><00:05:58.540><c> there</c><00:05:59.040><c> and</c><00:05:59.560><c> see</c><00:05:59.819><c> how</c><00:06:00.100><c> the</c><00:06:00.439><c> Word</c>

00:06:00.779 --> 00:06:02.620

00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.319
That<00:06:04.160><c> creative</c><00:06:04.839><c> Word</c><00:06:05.160><c> of</c><00:06:05.379><c> God,</c><00:06:05.680><c> that</c><00:06:06.019><c> power</c><00:06:06.439><c> expressed</c><00:06:07.240><c> in</c><00:06:07.819><c> Word,</c>

And<00:06:13.240><c> God</c><00:06:13.459><c> gave</c><00:06:13.800><c> him</c><00:06:14.680><c> dominion.</c>

00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:22.579
But<00:06:18.459><c> let's</c><00:06:18.720><c> think</c><00:06:18.980><c> for</c><00:06:19.180><c> a</c><00:06:19.339><c> moment</c><00:06:19.560><c> about</c><00:06:20.720><c> the</c><00:06:21.100><c> birth</c><00:06:21.279><c> of</c><00:06:21.519><c> Christ.</c>

00:06:29.899 --> 00:06:33.339

And<00:07:30.660><c> if</c><00:07:30.819><c> you</c><00:07:31.019><c> think,</c><00:07:31.279><c> oh</c><00:07:31.420><c> well</c><00:07:31.579><c> it's</c><00:07:31.740><c> missed</c><00:07:31.920><c> out</c><00:07:32.120><c> the</c><00:07:32.199><c> most</c>

00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.399
The<00:08:02.319><c> people</c><00:08:02.639><c> who</c><00:08:02.800><c> are</c><00:08:03.000><c> speaking</c><00:08:03.279><c> in</c><00:08:03.519><c> the</c><00:08:03.620><c> various</c><00:08:03.779><c> parts</c><00:08:04.199><c> of</c>

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.259
For<00:08:06.879><c> the</c><00:08:07.100><c> moment</c><00:08:07.420><c> I</c><00:08:07.560><c> want</c><00:08:07.800><c> to</c><00:08:08.040><c> pick</c><00:08:08.220><c> out</c><00:08:08.500><c> one</c><00:08:08.759><c> word.</c>

00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.399
It's<00:08:09.759><c> the</c><00:08:09.879><c> word</c><00:08:10.279><c> begotten.</c>

00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:19.980

00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:25.600
Christ<00:08:21.120><c> was</c><00:08:21.639><c> conceived</c><00:08:22.620><c> by</c><00:08:23.180><c> the</c><00:08:23.459><c> power</c><00:08:23.779><c> of</c><00:08:24.079><c> the</c><00:08:24.180><c> Holy</c><00:08:24.379><c> Spirit.</c>

00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:39.580
So<00:08:36.019><c> in</c><00:08:36.240><c> the</c><00:08:36.360><c> new</c><00:08:36.580><c> creation</c><00:08:37.059><c> the</c><00:08:37.320><c> Spirit</c><00:08:37.679><c> of</c><00:08:37.899><c> God</c><00:08:38.299><c> hovered</c><00:08:38.799><c> above</c><00:08:39.039><c> Mary</c>

00:08:39.580 --> 00:08:43.919

the<00:08:44.059><c> Holy</c><00:08:44.279><c> Spirit.</c>

00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:50.240
For<00:08:45.740><c> the</c><00:08:45.960><c> first</c><00:08:46.240><c> time,</c><00:08:46.919><c> the</c><00:08:47.179><c> only</c><00:08:47.559><c> time</c><00:08:47.919><c> in</c><00:08:48.139><c> all</c><00:08:48.360><c> history</c><00:08:49.159><c> that</c>

00:08:52.899 --> 00:08:55.500
Have<00:08:53.740><c> you</c><00:08:53.980><c> thought</c><00:08:54.240><c> of</c><00:08:54.419><c> that?</c>

00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:02.100

00:09:02.580 --> 00:09:04.879
There<00:09:02.639><c> is</c><00:09:02.899><c> therefore</c><00:09:03.299><c> a</c><00:09:03.500><c> fundamental</c><00:09:03.960><c> difference</c><00:09:04.480><c> between</c>

00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:06.159
Adam<00:09:05.259><c> and</c><00:09:05.539><c> Christ.</c>

00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:10.799
Adam<00:09:06.899><c> was</c><00:09:07.279><c> made,</c><00:09:08.379><c> as</c><00:09:08.639><c> Melisandre</c><00:09:09.080><c> said,</c><00:09:09.500><c> out</c><00:09:09.700><c> of</c><00:09:10.159><c> the</c><00:09:10.440><c> earth,</c>

and<00:09:15.759><c> man</c><00:09:15.980><c> became</c><00:09:16.519><c> a</c><00:09:16.740><c> living</c><00:09:17.000><c> soul.</c>

00:09:17.379 --> 00:09:20.009
That<00:09:17.580><c> was</c><00:09:17.820><c> Adam,</c><00:09:18.399><c> but</c><00:09:18.559><c> Christ,</c><00:09:19.220><c> he</c><00:09:19.419><c> was</c><00:09:19.700><c> begotten.</c>

00:09:20.009 --> 00:09:23.710
The<00:09:20.970><c> Holy</c><00:09:21.230><c> Spirit</c><00:09:21.549><c> of</c><00:09:21.690><c> God</c><00:09:22.009><c> came</c><00:09:22.269><c> upon</c><00:09:22.570><c> Mary</c><00:09:22.990><c> and</c><00:09:23.309><c> that</c><00:09:23.549><c> which</c>

00:17:52.430 --> 00:17:54.630
Behold,<00:17:52.890><c> the</c><00:17:52.910><c> handmaiden</c><00:17:53.410><c> of</c><00:17:53.549><c> the</c><00:17:53.630><c> Lord,</c><00:17:54.009><c> said</c><00:17:54.109><c> Mary.</c>

00:18:29.869 --> 00:18:33.930
It<00:18:30.269><c> doesn't</c><00:18:32.170><c> like</c><00:18:32.450><c> me.</c>

00:18:44.390 --> 00:18:45.710

You<00:18:46.970><c> know,</c><00:18:47.170><c> I'll</c><00:18:47.490><c> move</c><00:18:47.750><c> until</c><00:18:48.069><c> it</c><00:18:48.230><c> happens.</c>

00:18:49.230 --> 00:18:49.650

00:19:13.369 --> 00:19:15.470
The<00:19:13.549><c> echo</c><00:19:14.069><c> of</c><00:19:14.390><c> Jesus,</c><00:19:14.789><c> age</c><00:19:15.069><c> twelve,</c>

00:19:15.490 --> 00:19:16.829
in<00:19:15.690><c> the</c><00:19:15.890><c> courts</c><00:19:16.109><c> of</c><00:19:16.329><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:19:17.069 --> 00:19:18.970
Jesus,<00:19:17.569><c> as</c><00:19:17.670><c> he</c><00:19:17.930><c> prepares</c><00:19:18.269><c> for</c><00:19:18.450><c> his</c><00:19:18.609><c> life</c>

00:19:18.970 --> 00:19:20.230
of<00:19:19.289><c> teaching</c><00:19:19.549><c> the</c><00:19:19.789><c> people.</c>

00:19:20.609 --> 00:19:23.869
Here<00:19:20.730><c> it</c><00:19:20.950><c> is,</c><00:19:21.210><c> written</c><00:19:21.630><c> a</c><00:19:22.029><c> thousand</c><00:19:22.450><c> years</c><00:19:22.890><c> before</c><00:19:23.230><c> he</c><00:19:23.490><c> lived.</c>

00:19:24.369 --> 00:19:25.650
The<00:19:24.589><c> divine</c><00:19:25.109><c> word?</c>

00:19:25.990 --> 00:19:28.470
Yes,<00:19:26.569><c> the</c><00:19:26.769><c> wonder</c><00:19:27.250><c> of</c><00:19:27.710><c> inspiration.</c>

00:19:28.950 --> 00:19:29.869
It's<00:19:29.250><c> here.</c>

00:19:30.349 --> 00:19:31.589
It's<00:19:30.589><c> seeing</c><00:19:31.009><c> it.</c>

00:19:31.589 --> 00:19:33.710
It's<00:19:32.470><c> highlighting</c><00:19:32.910><c> the</c><00:19:33.289><c> words.</c>

00:19:33.910 --> 00:19:36.750
I'm<00:19:34.309><c> not</c><00:19:34.710><c> telling</c><00:19:34.970><c> you</c><00:19:35.210><c> anything</c><00:19:35.609><c> new.</c>

00:19:36.869 --> 00:19:40.170
I'm<00:19:37.210><c> just</c><00:19:37.509><c> highlighting</c><00:19:38.109><c> what</c><00:19:38.309><c> is</c><00:19:38.569><c> already</c><00:19:38.869><c> there.</c>

00:19:40.609 --> 00:19:43.509
Let<00:19:40.670><c> us</c><00:19:40.950><c> read</c><00:19:41.430><c> and</c><00:19:41.609><c> let</c><00:19:41.769><c> us</c><00:19:42.029><c> learn.</c>

00:19:45.730 --> 00:19:49.109
So,<00:19:47.609><c> let</c><00:19:47.789><c> us</c><00:19:47.990><c> move</c><00:19:48.210><c> on.</c>

00:19:53.150 --> 00:19:55.529
Jesus<00:19:53.690><c> was</c><00:19:54.009><c> to</c><00:19:54.210><c> be</c><00:19:54.349><c> king.</c>

00:19:57.329 --> 00:19:58.809
It's<00:19:57.809><c> not</c><00:19:57.970><c> always</c><00:19:58.410><c> appreciated</c>

00:19:58.809 --> 00:20:02.529
that<00:19:59.329><c> he</c><00:19:59.529><c> was</c><00:19:59.710><c> in</c><00:19:59.869><c> fact</c><00:20:00.269><c> born</c><00:20:01.069><c> king.</c>

00:20:03.089 --> 00:20:03.970
Have<00:20:03.210><c> you</c><00:20:03.269><c> thought</c><00:20:03.529><c> of</c><00:20:03.750><c> that?</c>

00:20:04.250 --> 00:20:06.029
I'm<00:20:04.470><c> sure</c><00:20:04.630><c> you</c><00:20:04.970><c> have,</c><00:20:05.349><c> but</c>

00:20:06.029 --> 00:20:10.109
he<00:20:06.450><c> was</c><00:20:06.769><c> of</c><00:20:07.009><c> the</c><00:20:07.269><c> line</c><00:20:07.670><c> and</c><00:20:08.069><c> lineage</c><00:20:08.549><c> of</c><00:20:08.970><c> David.</c>

00:20:10.910 --> 00:20:13.250
Now,<00:20:11.210><c> I</c><00:20:11.529><c> would</c><00:20:11.869><c> suggest,</c>

00:20:13.390 --> 00:20:16.130
and<00:20:13.549><c> you</c><00:20:13.710><c> may</c><00:20:13.869><c> agree,</c><00:20:14.349><c> but</c><00:20:14.630><c> it</c><00:20:14.789><c> would</c><00:20:15.009><c> seem</c><00:20:15.230><c> to</c><00:20:15.390><c> me</c><00:20:15.569><c> logical</c>

00:20:16.130 --> 00:20:17.750
to<00:20:16.509><c> assume</c><00:20:17.069><c> that</c>

00:20:17.750 --> 00:20:21.869
if<00:20:18.490><c> the</c><00:20:18.769><c> Romans</c><00:20:19.170><c> were</c><00:20:19.490><c> not</c><00:20:19.789><c> in</c><00:20:20.130><c> occupation</c><00:20:20.789><c> in</c><00:20:21.150><c> Judea</c>

00:20:21.869 --> 00:20:23.670
when<00:20:22.349><c> Jesus</c><00:20:22.789><c> was</c><00:20:23.130><c> born</c>

00:20:23.670 --> 00:20:28.430
and<00:20:24.869><c> Israel</c><00:20:25.569><c> had</c><00:20:25.910><c> been</c><00:20:26.410><c> a</c><00:20:27.549><c> crowned</c><00:20:28.170><c> state,</c>

00:20:28.430 --> 00:20:32.589
Jesus<00:20:29.230><c> would</c><00:20:29.630><c> have</c><00:20:29.890><c> been</c><00:20:30.210><c> crowned</c><00:20:31.049><c> king.</c>

00:20:34.009 --> 00:20:35.130
He<00:20:34.230><c> by</c><00:20:34.630><c> right</c>

00:20:35.130 --> 00:20:38.990
was<00:20:36.109><c> of</c><00:20:36.309><c> the</c><00:20:36.569><c> line</c><00:20:36.910><c> and</c><00:20:37.250><c> lineage</c><00:20:37.630><c> of</c><00:20:38.009><c> David.</c>

00:20:40.130 --> 00:20:41.990
Now,<00:20:40.650><c> Simeon</c><00:20:40.910><c> recognized</c><00:20:41.589><c> that.</c>

00:20:42.329 --> 00:20:44.490
Amos<00:20:42.609><c> recognized</c><00:20:43.369><c> that.</c>

00:20:44.829 --> 00:20:46.490
The<00:20:45.029><c> shepherds</c><00:20:45.410><c> recognized</c><00:20:46.170><c> that.</c>

00:20:46.490 --> 00:20:48.089
Why<00:20:46.789><c> don't</c><00:20:47.150><c> we?</c>

00:20:48.849 --> 00:20:51.890
He<00:20:49.089><c> was</c><00:20:49.410><c> born</c><00:20:49.589><c> at</c><00:20:49.809><c> the</c><00:20:50.029><c> time</c><00:20:50.269><c> when</c><00:20:50.529><c> the</c><00:20:50.710><c> king</c><00:20:50.869><c> was</c><00:20:51.190><c> expected.</c>

00:20:52.190 --> 00:20:55.390
The<00:20:52.369><c> 70</c><00:20:52.690><c>-week</c><00:20:52.890><c> prophecy</c><00:20:53.349><c> of</c><00:20:53.569><c> Daniel</c><00:20:54.029><c> tells</c><00:20:54.549><c> us</c><00:20:54.890><c> that.</c>

00:20:55.390 --> 00:20:58.750
He<00:20:56.049><c> was</c><00:20:56.329><c> born</c><00:20:56.789><c> to</c><00:20:57.029><c> be</c><00:20:57.230><c> king.</c>

00:21:00.150 --> 00:21:01.710
So,<00:21:00.609><c> by</c><00:21:00.710><c> right,</c>

00:21:02.309 --> 00:21:03.789
he<00:21:02.450><c> was</c><00:21:02.690><c> to</c><00:21:02.809><c> be</c><00:21:02.910><c> king</c><00:21:03.109><c> of</c><00:21:03.289><c> Israel.</c>

00:21:03.869 --> 00:21:06.029
He<00:21:04.009><c> was</c><00:21:04.250><c> the</c><00:21:04.470><c> greatest</c><00:21:04.710><c> son</c><00:21:04.890><c> of</c><00:21:05.130><c> David.</c>

00:21:07.190 --> 00:21:10.750
So,<00:21:07.490><c> the</c><00:21:07.690><c> sons</c><00:21:07.950><c> which</c><00:21:08.250><c> David</c><00:21:08.690><c> talks</c><00:21:09.109><c> about</c><00:21:09.589><c> his</c><00:21:09.990><c> son</c>

00:21:10.750 --> 00:21:13.630
are<00:21:11.809><c> his</c><00:21:12.210><c> by</c><00:21:12.650><c> right.</c>

00:21:13.950 --> 00:21:16.369
They<00:21:14.089><c> are</c><00:21:14.309><c> speaking</c><00:21:14.710><c> of</c><00:21:14.970><c> David's</c><00:21:15.609><c> greatest</c><00:21:15.910><c> son,</c>

00:21:16.849 --> 00:21:18.710
the<00:21:16.950><c> Lord</c><00:21:17.150><c> Jesus</c><00:21:17.470><c> Christ.</c>

00:21:21.789 --> 00:21:24.609
And<00:21:22.009><c> so,</c><00:21:22.289><c> throughout</c><00:21:22.890><c> the</c><00:21:23.589><c> early</c><00:21:23.910><c> years,</c>

00:21:24.609 --> 00:21:28.890
I<00:21:25.470><c> am</c><00:21:25.869><c> sure</c><00:21:26.289><c> that</c><00:21:26.650><c> Jesus</c><00:21:27.170><c> knew</c><00:21:27.650><c> that.</c>

00:21:29.970 --> 00:21:32.650
I<00:21:30.170><c> am</c><00:21:30.430><c> sure</c><00:21:30.730><c> the</c><00:21:31.049><c> conflict</c><00:21:31.549><c> in</c><00:21:31.750><c> his</c><00:21:32.029><c> mind</c>

00:21:32.650 --> 00:21:35.369
between<00:21:33.349><c> having</c><00:21:33.990><c> great</c><00:21:34.410><c> prestige</c>

and<00:21:36.029><c> power</c><00:21:36.369><c> and</c><00:21:36.769><c> challenging</c><00:21:37.150><c> the</c><00:21:37.490><c> Romans</c>

00:21:38.109 --> 00:21:42.509
and<00:21:39.150><c> also</c><00:21:39.569><c> accepting</c><00:21:40.130><c> the</c><00:21:40.509><c> submissive</c><00:21:41.170><c> role</c><00:21:41.450><c> that</c><00:21:41.670><c> he</c><00:21:41.829><c> was</c><00:21:42.089><c> given</c>

00:21:42.509 --> 00:21:45.849
to<00:21:42.950><c> that</c><00:21:43.190><c> of</c><00:21:43.390><c> being</c><00:21:43.589><c> the</c><00:21:43.869><c> sacrifice</c><00:21:44.670><c> for</c><00:21:45.029><c> God's</c><00:21:45.450><c> people,</c>

00:21:46.170 --> 00:21:49.170
that<00:21:46.529><c> conflict</c><00:21:47.269><c> was</c><00:21:47.990><c> there.</c>

00:21:49.190 --> 00:21:51.230
That<00:21:49.390><c> he</c><00:21:49.950><c> was</c><00:21:50.410><c> without</c><00:21:50.769><c> sin.</c>

00:21:51.230 --> 00:21:54.710
The<00:21:51.950><c> temptation</c><00:21:52.509><c> came</c><00:21:52.950><c> to</c><00:21:53.089><c> him</c><00:21:53.230><c> from</c><00:21:53.450><c> without</c><00:21:53.890><c> for</c><00:21:54.230><c> others.</c>

00:21:55.150 --> 00:21:56.769
They<00:21:55.470><c> tempted</c><00:21:55.930><c> him.</c>

00:21:57.009 --> 00:22:01.390
He<00:21:57.609><c> always</c><00:21:59.049><c> stood</c><00:21:59.470><c> for</c><00:21:59.670><c> that</c><00:21:59.910><c> which</c><00:22:00.069><c> was</c><00:22:00.369><c> right.</c>

00:22:01.829 --> 00:22:04.210
He<00:22:02.029><c> had</c><00:22:02.329><c> so</c><00:22:02.609><c> imbibed</c><00:22:03.230><c> the</c><00:22:03.329><c> word</c><00:22:03.509><c> of</c><00:22:03.769><c> God</c>

00:22:04.210 --> 00:22:06.710
that<00:22:04.630><c> he</c><00:22:04.789><c> said,</c><00:22:05.250><c> it</c><00:22:05.250><c> is</c><00:22:05.589><c> written,</c>

00:22:09.650 --> 00:22:10.930
And<00:22:09.910><c> time</c><00:22:10.170><c> and</c><00:22:10.349><c> time</c><00:22:10.609><c> again,</c>

00:22:22.410 --> 00:22:25.109
those<00:22:22.750><c> possibly</c><00:22:23.269><c> who</c><00:22:23.589><c> knew</c><00:22:23.730><c> him</c><00:22:23.970><c> by</c><00:22:24.309><c> right,</c>

00:22:42.289 --> 00:22:45.069
Let's<00:22:42.589><c> come</c><00:22:43.029><c> to</c><00:22:43.509><c> a</c><00:22:43.650><c> clutch</c><00:22:43.789><c> of</c><00:22:44.049><c> passages</c><00:22:44.349><c> now</c>

00:22:50.829 --> 00:22:55.309
Now,<00:22:51.470><c> we</c><00:22:51.630><c> began</c><00:22:51.990><c> this</c><00:22:52.230><c> morning</c><00:22:52.549><c> by</c><00:22:52.809><c> looking</c><00:22:53.069><c> at</c><00:22:53.490><c> Genesis</c><00:22:53.910><c> chapter</c><00:22:54.309><c> 1.</c>

00:22:55.329 --> 00:22:58.829
Let's<00:22:55.609><c> just</c><00:22:55.990><c> remind</c><00:22:56.289><c> ourselves</c><00:22:56.970><c> and</c><00:22:57.210><c> pick</c><00:22:57.450><c> up</c><00:22:57.569><c> the</c><00:22:57.750><c> language,</c>

00:22:58.910 --> 00:23:01.650
and<00:22:59.009><c> let's</c><00:22:59.289><c> now</c><00:22:59.549><c> think</c><00:22:59.890><c> about</c>

00:23:01.650 --> 00:23:05.390
the<00:23:02.910><c> light</c><00:23:03.329><c> in</c><00:23:03.609><c> the</c><00:23:03.710><c> midst</c><00:23:03.910><c> of</c><00:23:04.130><c> the</c><00:23:04.289><c> darkness.</c>

00:23:06.109 --> 00:23:07.950
A<00:23:06.210><c> slightly</c><00:23:06.430><c> different</c><00:23:07.029><c> direction</c><00:23:07.589><c> now</c>

00:23:07.950 --> 00:23:09.930
from<00:23:08.150><c> how</c><00:23:08.390><c> Brother</c><00:23:08.630><c> Stan</c><00:23:08.849><c> developed</c><00:23:09.250><c> these</c><00:23:09.569><c> words</c>

00:23:13.069 --> 00:23:18.130
In<00:23:13.789><c> the</c><00:23:14.009><c> beginning,</c><00:23:15.390><c> God</c><00:23:15.390><c> created</c><00:23:15.990><c> the</c><00:23:16.210><c> heaven</c><00:23:16.609><c> and</c><00:23:16.930><c> the</c><00:23:17.130><c> earth.</c>

The<00:23:18.250><c> earth</c><00:23:18.650><c> was</c><00:23:18.950><c> without</c><00:23:19.289><c> form</c><00:23:19.650><c> and</c><00:23:19.990><c> void,</c>

and<00:23:21.069><c> darkness</c><00:23:21.430><c> was</c><00:23:21.690><c> upon</c><00:23:21.890><c> the</c><00:23:22.069><c> face</c><00:23:22.289><c> of</c><00:23:22.490><c> the</c><00:23:22.670><c> deep.</c>

00:23:23.509 --> 00:23:27.390
And<00:23:23.710><c> the</c><00:23:23.890><c> Spirit</c><00:23:24.289><c> of</c><00:23:24.529><c> God</c><00:23:24.890><c> moved</c><00:23:25.349><c> upon</c><00:23:25.650><c> the</c><00:23:25.809><c> face</c><00:23:26.049><c> of</c><00:23:26.269><c> the</c><00:23:26.430><c> waters,</c>

00:23:27.609 --> 00:23:31.190
and<00:23:27.829><c> God</c><00:23:28.190><c> said,</c><00:23:29.230><c> let</c><00:23:29.569><c> there</c><00:23:29.950><c> be</c><00:23:30.130><c> light,</c>

00:23:31.269 --> 00:23:33.470
and<00:23:31.630><c> there</c><00:23:31.930><c> was</c><00:23:32.329><c> light.</c>

00:23:34.470 --> 00:23:38.329
God<00:23:35.150><c> spoke,</c><00:23:36.450><c> and</c><00:23:36.829><c> it</c><00:23:36.990><c> was</c><00:23:37.289><c> done.</c>

00:23:39.650 --> 00:23:43.809
God,<00:23:40.869><c> the</c><00:23:41.190><c> uncreate</c><00:23:41.869><c> power,</c><00:23:42.930><c> spoke,</c>

00:23:43.950 --> 00:23:47.230
and<00:23:44.069><c> presumably,</c><00:23:45.069><c> as</c><00:23:45.230><c> Brother</c><00:23:45.470><c> Stan</c><00:23:45.650><c> has</c><00:23:46.349><c> elaborated,</c>

00:23:47.490 --> 00:23:49.930
the<00:23:47.569><c> angels</c><00:23:48.130><c> did</c><00:23:48.509><c> the</c><00:23:48.730><c> work.</c>

00:23:50.549 --> 00:23:53.769
God<00:23:51.109><c> spoke</c><00:23:51.910><c> a</c><00:23:52.670><c> word.</c>

00:23:54.250 --> 00:23:57.990
God<00:23:54.509><c> always</c><00:23:55.009><c> speaks</c><00:23:55.490><c> a</c><00:23:55.890><c> word</c><00:23:56.690><c> first,</c>

00:23:59.029 --> 00:24:01.390
and<00:24:00.009><c> it</c><00:24:00.170><c> was</c><00:24:00.470><c> done.</c>

00:24:02.329 --> 00:24:04.950
God<00:24:02.730><c> uttered</c><00:24:03.170><c> from</c><00:24:03.410><c> within</c><00:24:03.690><c> himself,</c>

00:24:05.269 --> 00:24:07.970
and<00:24:05.970><c> there</c><00:24:06.230><c> was</c><00:24:06.450><c> life.</c>

00:24:09.069 --> 00:24:13.190
Now,<00:24:09.309><c> the</c><00:24:09.529><c> whole</c><00:24:09.950><c> work</c><00:24:10.230><c> of</c><00:24:10.450><c> God</c><00:24:10.670><c> is</c><00:24:10.930><c> to</c><00:24:11.130><c> do</c><00:24:11.349><c> with</c><00:24:11.990><c> speech.</c>

00:24:13.369 --> 00:24:15.750
God<00:24:13.710><c> spoke</c><00:24:14.170><c> in</c><00:24:14.549><c> creation.</c>

00:24:15.950 --> 00:24:18.430
God<00:24:16.289><c> speaks</c><00:24:16.809><c> in</c><00:24:17.250><c> revelation.</c>

00:24:18.750 --> 00:24:21.430
God<00:24:19.230><c> spoke</c><00:24:19.809><c> in</c><00:24:20.230><c> His</c><00:24:20.529><c> Son.</c>

00:24:22.069 --> 00:24:24.750

And<00:28:05.970><c> Christ</c><00:28:06.349><c> has</c><00:28:06.650><c> not</c><00:28:06.970><c> yet</c><00:28:07.250><c> come</c><00:28:07.549><c> into</c><00:28:07.809><c> the</c><00:28:08.029><c> picture.</c>

00:28:09.029 --> 00:28:11.490
The<00:28:09.230><c> light</c><00:28:09.609><c> shined</c><00:28:10.029><c> through</c><00:28:10.289><c> darkness,</c>

and<00:28:11.789><c> the</c><00:28:11.990><c> darkness</c><00:28:12.329><c> comprehended</c><00:28:12.849><c> it</c><00:28:13.150><c> not.</c>

00:28:13.930 --> 00:28:15.490
That<00:28:14.410><c> was</c><00:28:14.650><c> true</c><00:28:14.890><c> of</c><00:28:15.170><c> creation.</c>

00:28:15.789 --> 00:28:18.490
It's<00:28:15.849><c> true</c><00:28:16.089><c> now</c><00:28:16.410><c> of</c><00:28:16.589><c> what</c><00:28:16.869><c> John</c><00:28:17.089><c> is</c><00:28:17.410><c> introducing</c><00:28:17.890><c> us</c><00:28:18.230><c> to.</c>

00:28:18.710 --> 00:28:20.309
The<00:28:18.910><c> new</c><00:28:19.150><c> creation.</c>

00:28:21.210 --> 00:28:22.789
But<00:28:21.329><c> he's</c><00:28:21.430><c> not</c><00:28:21.650><c> yet</c><00:28:21.869><c> got</c><00:28:22.089><c> to</c><00:28:22.349><c> it.</c>

00:28:23.089 --> 00:28:24.910
Because<00:28:23.289><c> he</c><00:28:23.470><c> then</c><00:28:23.750><c> says,</c><00:28:24.170><c> verse</c><00:28:24.329><c> 6,</c>

00:28:25.109 --> 00:28:27.049
there<00:28:25.250><c> was</c><00:28:25.369><c> a</c><00:28:25.450><c> man</c><00:28:25.670><c> sent</c><00:28:25.890><c> from</c><00:28:26.049><c> God</c><00:28:26.309><c> whose</c><00:28:26.450><c> name</c><00:28:26.609><c> was</c><00:28:26.849><c> John.</c>

00:28:27.190 --> 00:28:28.910
The<00:28:27.230><c> same</c><00:28:27.430><c> came</c><00:28:27.670><c> for</c><00:28:27.849><c> a</c><00:28:28.009><c> witness</c><00:28:28.170><c> to</c><00:28:28.390><c> bear</c><00:28:28.490><c> witness</c>

00:28:28.910 --> 00:28:31.829
of<00:28:29.289><c> the</c><00:28:29.490><c> light</c><00:28:30.029><c> that</c><00:28:30.650><c> all</c><00:28:30.849><c> men</c><00:28:31.029><c> through</c><00:28:31.190><c> Him</c><00:28:31.430><c> might</c><00:28:31.650><c> believe.</c>

00:28:31.849 --> 00:28:33.230
He<00:28:32.029><c> was</c><00:28:32.250><c> not</c><00:28:32.470><c> that</c><00:28:32.750><c> light.</c>

00:28:33.509 --> 00:28:34.910
No,<00:28:33.710><c> He's</c><00:28:33.970><c> still</c><00:28:34.190><c> yet</c><00:28:34.410><c> to</c><00:28:34.670><c> come.</c>

00:28:35.089 --> 00:28:37.650
So<00:28:35.349><c> Christ</c><00:28:35.710><c> has</c><00:28:35.970><c> not</c><00:28:36.190><c> yet</c><00:28:36.450><c> entered.</c>

00:28:56.470 --> 00:28:59.569
And<00:28:56.569><c> the</c><00:28:56.809><c> word</c><00:28:57.349><c> was</c><00:28:57.849><c> made</c><00:28:58.390><c> flesh.</c>

00:29:01.369 --> 00:29:04.430

00:29:07.769 --> 00:29:11.970
And<00:29:07.950><c> he</c><00:29:08.069><c> said</c><00:29:08.230><c> there</c><00:29:08.430><c> are</c><00:29:08.710><c> five</c><00:29:09.390><c> monosyllabic</c><00:29:10.549><c> words.</c>

She<00:39:58.929><c> did</c><00:39:59.170><c> not</c><00:39:59.329><c> know</c><00:39:59.489><c> what</c><00:39:59.670><c> to</c><00:39:59.869><c> do</c><00:39:59.989><c> with</c><00:40:00.230><c> them.</c>

00:40:01.389 --> 00:40:03.429
So<00:40:01.570><c> she</c><00:40:01.730><c> thought,</c><00:40:02.150><c> well</c><00:40:02.349><c> I</c><00:40:02.389><c> can't</c><00:40:02.889><c> burn</c><00:40:03.230><c> them,</c>

00:40:03.429 --> 00:40:05.010
I<00:40:03.449><c> can't</c><00:40:03.869><c> destroy</c><00:40:04.489><c> them.</c>

00:40:05.389 --> 00:40:08.090
I<00:40:05.570><c> will</c><00:40:05.889><c> send</c><00:40:06.250><c> a</c><00:40:06.489><c> copy</c><00:40:07.010><c> to</c><00:40:07.570><c> everybody</c>

00:40:08.090 --> 00:40:10.110
in<00:40:08.369><c> the</c><00:40:08.530><c> local</c><00:40:08.869><c> telephone</c><00:40:09.329><c> directory</c>

00:40:10.110 --> 00:40:12.429
who<00:40:10.730><c> begins</c><00:40:11.130><c> with</c><00:40:11.409><c> the</c><00:40:11.610><c> same</c><00:40:11.969><c> surname</c>

00:40:12.429 --> 00:40:15.369
as<00:40:13.250><c> myself</c><00:40:13.750><c> and</c><00:40:13.969><c> my</c><00:40:14.150><c> twin</c><00:40:14.389><c> sister.</c>

00:40:15.570 --> 00:40:16.510
She<00:40:15.849><c> did</c><00:40:16.110><c> that.</c>

00:40:16.849 --> 00:40:18.730
And<00:40:16.989><c> that</c><00:40:17.150><c> little</c><00:40:17.389><c> story</c><00:40:17.789><c> caught</c><00:40:18.190><c> the</c><00:40:18.489><c> eye</c>

00:40:18.730 --> 00:40:20.630
of<00:40:19.070><c> the</c><00:40:19.210><c> local</c><00:40:19.489><c> newspaper</c><00:40:20.010><c> reporter</c>

00:40:20.630 --> 00:40:22.929
and<00:40:21.190><c> the</c><00:40:21.409><c> eye</c><00:40:21.570><c> of</c><00:40:21.750><c> my</c><00:40:21.909><c> mother</c><00:40:22.150><c>-in</c><00:40:22.409><c>-law.</c>

00:40:23.130 --> 00:40:25.690
And<00:40:23.369><c> so</c><00:40:23.690><c> I</c><00:40:24.309><c> wrote</c><00:40:24.750><c> to</c><00:40:24.969><c> this</c><00:40:25.170><c> lady</c>

00:40:25.690 --> 00:40:27.769
and<00:40:26.309><c> asked</c><00:40:26.610><c> her</c><00:40:26.730><c> to</c><00:40:26.949><c> send</c><00:40:27.130><c> me</c><00:40:27.349><c> a</c><00:40:27.469><c> book,</c>

00:40:28.130 --> 00:40:31.329
the<00:40:28.349><c> portrait,</c><00:40:29.409><c> because</c><00:40:29.929><c> the</c><00:40:30.170><c> book</c><00:40:30.510><c> was</c><00:40:30.849><c> about,</c>

00:40:31.329 --> 00:40:35.789
and<00:40:31.510><c> is</c><00:40:31.809><c> about,</c><00:40:32.329><c> the</c><00:40:32.550><c> portrait</c><00:40:33.110><c> of</c><00:40:33.489><c> the</c><00:40:33.630><c> man</c><00:40:33.889><c> from</c><00:40:34.210><c> Nazareth.</c>

00:40:36.190 --> 00:40:40.829
Now<00:40:36.469><c> she</c><00:40:36.829><c> unfortunately</c><00:40:38.190><c> sees</c><00:40:38.929><c> in</c><00:40:39.630><c> the</c><00:40:39.889><c> Psalms</c>

00:40:40.929 --> 00:40:45.289
a<00:40:41.710><c> description</c><00:40:42.250><c> of</c><00:40:42.849><c> the</c><00:40:43.030><c> prescient</c><00:40:43.510><c> existence</c><00:40:44.010><c> of</c><00:40:44.309><c> Christ.</c>
