00:01:04.340 --> 00:01:08.579
I<00:01:04.500><c> was</c><00:01:04.739><c> impressed,</c><00:01:05.159><c> if</c><00:01:05.340><c> I</c><00:01:05.560><c> may</c><00:01:05.719><c> make</c><00:01:06.280><c> a</c><00:01:06.519><c> personal</c><00:01:06.819><c> observation,</c><00:01:07.859><c> that</c><00:01:08.099><c> in</c><00:01:08.340><c> the</c>

00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:13.459
Maurice<00:01:10.500><c> simply</c><00:01:11.540><c> stated</c><00:01:12.180><c> that</c><00:01:12.459><c> there</c><00:01:12.599><c> would</c><00:01:12.780><c> be</c><00:01:12.900><c> some</c><00:01:13.200><c> stand</c>

00:01:16.420 --> 00:01:17.560
That's<00:01:16.700><c> an</c><00:01:16.859><c> excellent</c><00:01:17.140><c> idea.</c>

00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:18.859
I<00:01:17.719><c> have</c><00:01:17.859><c> to</c><00:01:17.980><c> remember</c><00:01:18.400><c> that.</c>

00:01:19.180 --> 00:01:22.340
But<00:01:19.260><c> we'll</c><00:01:19.500><c> stick</c><00:01:19.659><c> to</c><00:01:19.819><c> this</c><00:01:19.980><c> as</c><00:01:20.200><c> much</c><00:01:20.340><c> as</c><00:01:20.519><c> we</c><00:01:20.760><c> possibly</c><00:01:21.180><c> can.</c>

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:31.379
In<00:01:25.120><c> the</c><00:01:25.400><c> context</c><00:01:25.900><c> of</c><00:01:26.079><c> the</c><00:01:26.260><c> question,</c><00:01:26.920><c> why</c><00:01:27.019><c> me,</c><00:01:28.700><c> I</c><00:01:29.780><c> looked</c><00:01:30.040><c> at</c><00:01:30.799><c> a</c>

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.000
and<00:01:33.760><c> obviously</c><00:01:34.120><c> it's</c><00:01:34.340><c> very</c><00:01:34.680><c> difficult</c><00:01:35.140><c> to</c><00:01:35.439><c> consider</c><00:01:35.579><c> the</c><00:01:35.780><c> Old</c>

00:01:38.379 --> 00:01:43.799
So<00:01:38.659><c> in</c><00:01:38.780><c> the</c><00:01:39.040><c> background</c><00:01:39.760><c> of</c><00:01:40.420><c> my</c><00:01:42.079><c> personal</c><00:01:42.579><c> investigation</c><00:01:43.379><c> of</c>

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.459
Now<00:02:00.439><c> that</c><00:02:00.599><c> might</c><00:02:00.920><c> sound</c><00:02:01.760><c> strange.</c>

00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.659
Now<00:02:02.739><c> what</c><00:02:02.819><c> I</c><00:02:03.000><c> mean</c><00:02:03.120><c> by</c><00:02:03.420><c> that</c><00:02:03.780><c> is,</c><00:02:05.040><c> we're</c><00:02:05.260><c> going</c><00:02:05.500><c> to</c><00:02:06.299><c> share</c><00:02:06.480><c> with</c>

00:27:31.650 --> 00:27:35.910
An<00:27:32.250><c> observation</c><00:27:32.849><c> worth</c><00:27:33.150><c> noting,</c><00:27:33.730><c> I</c><00:27:33.730><c> would</c><00:27:33.890><c> suggest,</c><00:27:34.450><c> brothers</c><00:27:34.529><c> and</c><00:27:34.809><c> sisters,</c>

00:27:53.670 --> 00:27:56.309

00:27:56.309 --> 00:27:59.309
Maybe<00:27:56.589><c> all</c><00:27:56.829><c> of</c><00:27:56.990><c> you</c><00:27:57.130><c> have</c><00:27:57.170><c> thought</c><00:27:57.390><c> about</c><00:27:57.630><c> it</c><00:27:57.809><c> at</c><00:27:57.930><c> one</c><00:27:58.130><c> time</c><00:27:58.329><c> or</c><00:27:58.529><c> another.</c>

You<00:28:12.009><c> know,</c><00:28:12.509><c> the</c><00:28:12.809><c> message</c><00:28:13.230><c> recorded</c><00:28:13.930><c> for</c><00:28:14.250><c> us</c><00:28:14.390><c> in</c><00:28:14.529><c> the</c><00:28:14.710><c> Scriptures</c><00:28:14.990><c> is</c><00:28:15.269><c> inspired.</c>

00:28:15.730 --> 00:28:16.750
We<00:28:15.950><c> believe</c><00:28:16.250><c> that.</c>

00:28:16.750 --> 00:28:23.329
And<00:28:17.869><c> we</c><00:28:18.089><c> believe</c><00:28:18.589><c> the</c><00:28:19.029><c> thrust</c><00:28:19.250><c> of</c><00:28:19.450><c> the</c><00:28:19.650><c> messages,</c><00:28:20.890><c> without</c><00:28:21.210><c> exception,</c><00:28:21.890><c> are</c><00:28:22.089><c> there</c><00:28:22.630><c> for</c><00:28:23.289><c> a</c>

00:28:26.509 --> 00:28:30.549
So<00:28:26.690><c> the</c><00:28:26.890><c> phrase,</c><00:28:28.470><c> and</c><00:28:28.829><c> it's</c><00:28:29.069><c> very</c><00:28:29.390><c> legitimate</c><00:28:29.849><c> by</c><00:28:30.150><c> the</c><00:28:30.289><c> way</c><00:28:30.390><c> in</c>

the<00:28:30.710><c> Hebrew,</c>

00:28:31.710 --> 00:28:36.210
I<00:28:31.890><c> will</c><00:28:32.109><c> turn</c><00:28:32.369><c> aside</c><00:28:32.809><c> and</c><00:28:33.210><c> see,</c><00:28:34.250><c> is</c><00:28:34.509><c> just</c><00:28:34.869><c> that.</c>

00:28:37.450 --> 00:28:42.009
Moses<00:28:38.170><c> turned</c><00:28:38.890><c> aside,</c><00:28:40.549><c> but</c><00:28:40.710><c> it's</c><00:28:40.869><c> in</c><00:28:41.029><c> the</c><00:28:41.130><c> first</c><00:28:41.410><c> person.</c>

00:28:42.009 --> 00:28:46.710

00:28:46.930 --> 00:28:50.630
So<00:28:47.130><c> it</c><00:28:47.230><c> does</c><00:28:47.509><c> sound</c><00:28:47.849><c> quite</c><00:28:48.089><c> a</c><00:28:48.210><c> bit</c><00:28:48.349><c> like</c><00:28:48.630><c> an</c><00:28:48.910><c> inquisitive</c><00:28:49.390><c> inclination.</c>

00:29:02.670 --> 00:29:06.470

00:29:06.750 --> 00:29:11.750

00:35:27.030 --> 00:35:30.650
It's<00:35:27.150><c> much</c><00:35:27.349><c> easier,</c><00:35:27.650><c> by</c><00:35:27.909><c> the</c><00:35:28.050><c> way,</c><00:35:28.489><c> to</c><00:35:28.610><c> go</c><00:35:28.889><c> south</c><00:35:29.289><c> over</c><00:35:29.710><c> 500</c><00:35:30.110><c> miles</c><00:35:30.469><c> in</c>

00:35:50.909 --> 00:35:52.849

00:36:38.190 --> 00:36:41.829
When<00:36:38.349><c> we</c><00:36:38.710><c> walked</c><00:36:38.929><c> into</c><00:36:39.190><c> the</c><00:36:39.369><c> Bible</c><00:36:39.650><c> school,</c><00:36:40.090><c> it</c><00:36:40.090><c> was</c><00:36:40.329><c> like</c><00:36:40.690><c> night</c><00:36:41.409><c> had</c>

00:36:48.550 --> 00:36:49.909
how<00:36:48.769><c> he</c><00:36:49.090><c> dislikes</c><00:36:49.429><c> the</c><00:36:49.710><c> travel.</c>

00:38:54.250 --> 00:38:58.289
Now,<00:38:54.989><c> we'll</c><00:38:55.269><c> pursue</c><00:38:55.550><c> that</c><00:38:56.369><c> a</c><00:38:56.670><c> little</c><00:38:56.809><c> more</c><00:38:57.170><c> completely</c><00:38:57.710><c> tomorrow,</c>

Not<00:39:16.429><c> only</c><00:39:16.750><c> why</c><00:39:17.110><c> have</c><00:39:17.289><c> I</c><00:39:17.369><c> been</c><00:39:17.550><c> so</c><00:39:17.849><c> blessed</c><00:39:17.989><c> to</c><00:39:18.170><c> be</c><00:39:18.329><c> brought</c><00:39:18.469><c> into</c><00:39:18.670><c> the</c><00:39:18.949><c> truth,</c>

00:39:20.690 --> 00:39:24.030
Once<00:39:20.889><c> we</c><00:39:21.110><c> get</c><00:39:21.329><c> in</c><00:39:21.570><c> there,</c><00:39:22.869><c> once</c><00:39:23.090><c> we've</c><00:39:23.329><c> been</c><00:39:23.449><c> so</c><00:39:23.789><c> blessed,</c>

00:39:34.670 --> 00:39:37.650
Here's<00:39:35.090><c> Moses</c><00:39:35.510><c> saying,</c><00:39:36.269><c> Who</c><00:39:36.469><c> am</c><00:39:36.710><c> I?</c>

00:39:39.769 --> 00:39:42.090

No<00:39:49.309><c> doubt</c><00:39:49.610><c> in</c><00:39:49.829><c> my</c><00:39:50.030><c> mind</c><00:39:50.449><c> that</c><00:39:50.789><c> he</c><00:39:51.150><c> comprehended</c><00:39:51.610><c> that,</c>
