And<00:29:30.009><c> he</c><00:29:30.130><c> could</c><00:29:30.289><c> provide</c><00:29:30.490><c> us</c><00:29:30.609><c> some</c><00:29:30.789><c> information</c><00:29:31.190><c> in</c><00:29:31.349><c> that</c><00:29:31.509><c> regard.</c>

00:29:32.789 --> 00:29:34.269
Oh,<00:29:33.130><c> we</c><00:29:33.289><c> have</c><00:29:33.470><c> domestic</c><00:29:33.849><c> missionaries,</c>

00:29:34.289 --> 00:29:36.150
which<00:29:34.410><c> is</c><00:29:34.650><c> good,</c><00:29:34.809><c> but</c><00:29:34.950><c> not</c><00:29:35.150><c> a</c><00:29:35.309><c> lot.</c>

00:29:38.150 --> 00:29:40.269
And<00:29:38.589><c> as</c><00:29:38.789><c> far</c><00:29:38.990><c> as</c><00:29:39.190><c> the</c><00:29:39.589><c> helping</c><00:29:39.869><c> of</c><00:29:40.109><c> people</c>

00:29:40.269 --> 00:29:41.990
from<00:29:40.470><c> a</c><00:29:40.609><c> temporal</c><00:29:40.829><c> point</c><00:29:41.089><c> of</c><00:29:41.210><c> view,</c>

00:29:42.349 --> 00:29:44.349
just<00:29:42.630><c> one</c><00:29:42.930><c> incident</c><00:29:43.210><c> that</c><00:29:43.369><c> was</c><00:29:43.549><c> passed</c><00:29:43.769><c> along</c><00:29:43.990><c> to</c><00:29:44.170><c> me</c>

00:29:44.349 --> 00:29:47.670
about<00:29:45.130><c> a</c><00:29:45.730><c> tour</c><00:29:45.890><c> group</c><00:29:46.150><c> of</c><00:29:46.490><c> 35</c><00:29:46.950><c> brethren</c><00:29:47.269><c> and</c><00:29:47.450><c> sisters</c>

00:29:47.670 --> 00:29:51.089
who<00:29:48.210><c> stopped</c><00:29:48.509><c> off</c><00:29:48.789><c> at</c><00:29:48.990><c> a</c><00:29:49.450><c> very</c><00:29:49.750><c> poor</c><00:29:50.069><c> country.</c>

00:29:51.369 --> 00:29:54.230
It<00:29:51.650><c> cost</c><00:29:51.849><c> them</c><00:29:52.130><c> $1</c><00:29:52.170><c>,500</c><00:29:52.410><c> apiece</c><00:29:53.009><c> to</c><00:29:53.130><c> be</c><00:29:53.210><c> on</c><00:29:53.349><c> the</c><00:29:53.529><c> tour.</c>

00:29:54.269 --> 00:29:56.769
So<00:29:54.430><c> what</c><00:29:54.529><c> are</c><00:29:54.609><c> we</c><00:29:54.769><c> talking</c><00:29:54.990><c> about?</c><00:29:55.190><c> Over</c><00:29:55.410><c> $50</c><00:29:55.670><c>,000.</c>

00:29:57.609 --> 00:29:59.829
They<00:29:58.049><c> met</c><00:29:58.289><c> with</c><00:29:58.470><c> the</c><00:29:58.609><c> brethren</c><00:29:58.829><c> and</c><00:29:59.029><c> sisters</c><00:29:59.170><c> in</c><00:29:59.309><c> that</c><00:29:59.490><c> country,</c>

00:29:59.930 --> 00:30:02.789
and<00:30:00.309><c> the</c><00:30:00.470><c> brethren</c><00:30:00.650><c> and</c><00:30:00.849><c> sisters</c><00:30:01.089><c> were</c><00:30:01.569><c> greatly</c><00:30:01.950><c> heartened</c>

00:30:02.789 --> 00:30:06.049
by<00:30:03.089><c> having</c><00:30:03.430><c> such</c><00:30:03.589><c> a</c><00:30:03.829><c> large</c><00:30:04.069><c> group</c><00:30:04.369><c> of</c><00:30:04.609><c> visiting</c><00:30:04.849><c> Christadelphians.</c>

00:30:06.950 --> 00:30:08.309
They<00:30:07.109><c> would</c><00:30:07.269><c> have</c><00:30:07.349><c> been</c><00:30:07.509><c> helped</c><00:30:07.670><c> even</c><00:30:07.950><c> more</c>

00:30:08.309 --> 00:30:10.910
if<00:30:08.430><c> some</c><00:30:08.609><c> of</c><00:30:08.690><c> that</c><00:30:08.829><c> $50</c><00:30:09.069><c>,000</c><00:30:09.410><c> had</c><00:30:09.549><c> gone</c><00:30:09.769><c> to</c><00:30:09.930><c> buy</c><00:30:10.109><c> them</c><00:30:10.230><c> a</c><00:30:10.430><c> car</c>

00:30:10.910 --> 00:30:12.569
because<00:30:11.430><c> they</c><00:30:11.549><c> only</c><00:30:11.730><c> had</c><00:30:11.890><c> two</c><00:30:12.190><c> vehicles</c>

00:30:12.569 --> 00:30:14.890
amongst<00:30:12.910><c> 120</c><00:30:13.509><c> Christadelphians.</c>

00:30:16.569 --> 00:30:20.890
So<00:30:17.049><c> we</c><00:30:17.529><c> need</c><00:30:17.789><c> to</c><00:30:18.250><c> take</c><00:30:18.529><c> this</c><00:30:19.450><c> penetrating</c><00:30:20.349><c> exhortation</c>

00:30:20.890 --> 00:30:23.950
that<00:30:21.029><c> comes</c><00:30:21.250><c> out</c><00:30:21.490><c> of</c><00:30:22.869><c> Israel's</c><00:30:23.509><c> history</c>

00:30:23.950 --> 00:30:26.910
and<00:30:24.670><c> use</c><00:30:24.869><c> it</c><00:30:25.069><c> to</c><00:30:25.210><c> search</c><00:30:25.410><c> our</c><00:30:25.690><c> own</c><00:30:25.869><c> hearts.</c>

00:30:29.089 --> 00:30:31.470
There<00:30:29.230><c> was</c><00:30:29.430><c> another</c><00:30:29.630><c> area</c><00:30:30.109><c> of</c><00:30:30.950><c> wickedness</c>

00:30:31.470 --> 00:30:33.829
as<00:30:31.829><c> far</c><00:30:32.029><c> as</c><00:30:32.250><c> Israel</c><00:30:32.450><c> was</c><00:30:32.710><c> concerned.</c>

00:30:33.849 --> 00:30:38.069
It<00:30:34.009><c> related</c><00:30:35.829><c> to</c><00:30:36.309><c> their</c><00:30:37.089><c> worship.</c>

00:30:38.710 --> 00:30:41.430
If<00:30:38.849><c> we</c><00:30:38.990><c> could</c><00:30:39.150><c> turn</c><00:30:39.390><c> over</c><00:30:39.609><c> to</c><00:30:39.809><c> Ezekiel</c><00:30:40.329><c> 8,</c>

00:30:42.130 --> 00:30:46.069
we'll<00:30:42.690><c> see</c><00:30:42.950><c> how</c><00:30:43.150><c> this</c><00:30:44.009><c> is</c><00:30:44.170><c> later</c><00:30:44.609><c> opened</c><00:30:45.569><c> out</c><00:30:45.849><c> for</c><00:30:45.990><c> us,</c>

00:30:46.069 --> 00:30:46.970
and<00:30:46.190><c> I</c><00:30:46.230><c> think</c><00:30:46.329><c> it</c><00:30:46.450><c> will</c><00:30:46.569><c> help</c>

00:30:46.970 --> 00:30:50.890
if<00:30:47.490><c> we</c><00:30:47.650><c> have</c><00:30:47.809><c> this</c><00:30:48.069><c> little</c><00:30:48.470><c> picture</c><00:30:49.009><c> in</c><00:30:49.569><c> front</c><00:30:49.710><c> of</c><00:30:49.809><c> us.</c>

00:30:51.210 --> 00:30:54.049
Because<00:30:51.490><c> what</c><00:30:51.630><c> we'll</c><00:30:51.849><c> see</c><00:30:52.089><c> is</c><00:30:52.329><c> that</c><00:30:52.789><c> you</c><00:30:53.170><c> have</c><00:30:53.329><c> a</c><00:30:53.509><c> progression</c>

00:30:56.789 --> 00:30:59.369
This<00:30:56.970><c> is</c><00:30:57.289><c> not</c><00:30:57.549><c> a</c><00:30:57.829><c> diagram</c><00:30:58.190><c> of</c><00:30:58.630><c> Solomon's</c><00:30:59.109><c> Temple,</c>

00:31:02.230 --> 00:31:05.349
This<00:31:02.549><c> is</c><00:31:02.750><c> an</c><00:31:02.930><c> artist's</c><00:31:03.349><c> conception</c><00:31:03.690><c> of</c><00:31:04.769><c> Herod's</c><00:31:05.150><c> Temple,</c>

00:31:05.630 --> 00:31:07.890
but<00:31:05.869><c> it</c><00:31:06.170><c> will</c><00:31:06.410><c> serve</c><00:31:06.690><c> to</c><00:31:07.049><c> illustrate</c><00:31:07.410><c> the</c><00:31:07.630><c> point</c>

00:31:13.670 --> 00:31:16.470
When<00:31:14.029><c> we</c><00:31:14.569><c> look</c><00:31:14.789><c> at</c><00:31:14.950><c> the</c><00:31:15.069><c> flow</c><00:31:15.230><c> of</c><00:31:15.390><c> the</c><00:31:15.569><c> chapter,</c>

00:31:24.549 --> 00:31:25.490
were<00:31:24.710><c> doing?</c>

00:31:25.549 --> 00:31:29.490
It<00:31:26.069><c> begins</c><00:31:26.450><c> in</c><00:31:27.390><c> verse</c><00:31:27.609><c> 5</c><00:31:28.109><c> of</c><00:31:28.289><c> Ezekiel</c><00:31:28.710><c> 8,</c>

00:31:34.450 --> 00:31:37.309
It<00:31:34.589><c> was</c><00:31:34.829><c> not</c><00:31:35.109><c> inside</c><00:31:36.130><c> the</c><00:31:36.710><c> temple</c><00:31:36.950><c> buildings.</c>

00:31:37.390 --> 00:31:41.049
It<00:31:37.470><c> was</c><00:31:37.890><c> outside</c><00:31:38.690><c> by</c><00:31:39.809><c> what</c><00:31:40.150><c> is</c><00:31:40.329><c> called</c><00:31:40.470><c> the</c><00:31:40.670><c> altar</c><00:31:40.869><c> gate,</c>

00:31:49.670 --> 00:31:52.289
It<00:31:49.869><c> was</c><00:31:50.130><c> convenient,</c><00:31:51.009><c> and</c><00:31:51.150><c> it</c><00:31:51.349><c> invited</c><00:31:51.609><c> the</c><00:31:51.849><c> worshipers</c>

There's<00:32:51.289><c> a</c><00:32:51.410><c> reason</c><00:32:51.569><c> why</c><00:32:51.769><c> this</c><00:32:51.990><c> particular</c><00:32:52.329><c> person</c><00:32:52.609><c> is</c><00:32:52.789><c> mentioned.</c>

00:34:21.329 --> 00:34:23.570
Hast<00:34:21.469><c> thou</c><00:34:21.710><c> seen</c><00:34:21.969><c> this,</c><00:34:22.230><c> O</c><00:34:22.389><c> son</c><00:34:22.550><c> of</c><00:34:22.710><c> man?</c>

00:34:23.829 --> 00:34:26.369
Turn<00:34:24.050><c> thee</c><00:34:24.269><c> yet</c><00:34:24.489><c> again,</c><00:34:24.750><c> and</c><00:34:24.869><c> thou</c><00:34:25.070><c> shalt</c><00:34:25.369><c> see</c>

00:34:26.369 --> 00:34:29.550

00:34:30.230 --> 00:34:32.170
And<00:34:30.650><c> he</c><00:34:30.809><c> brought</c><00:34:31.010><c> me</c><00:34:31.210><c> into</c><00:34:31.409><c> the</c><00:34:31.670><c> inner</c><00:34:31.929><c> court.</c>

00:34:32.369 --> 00:34:34.590

00:34:40.309 --> 00:34:43.170
And<00:34:41.130><c> he</c><00:34:41.309><c> brought</c><00:34:41.530><c> me</c><00:34:41.690><c> into</c><00:34:41.849><c> the</c><00:34:42.050><c> inner</c><00:34:42.289><c> court</c><00:34:42.409><c> of</c><00:34:42.550><c> the</c><00:34:42.670><c> Lord's</c><00:34:42.949><c> house,</c>

How<00:35:00.570><c> could</c><00:35:00.869><c> they</c><00:35:01.690><c> possibly</c><00:35:02.230><c> think</c>

00:35:16.010 --> 00:35:17.550
And<00:35:16.489><c> they</c><00:35:16.630><c> thought</c><00:35:16.750><c> they</c><00:35:16.889><c> could</c><00:35:17.010><c> do</c><00:35:17.190><c> it.</c>

00:35:17.690 --> 00:35:19.789
They<00:35:17.909><c> thought</c><00:35:18.090><c> that</c><00:35:18.309><c> God</c><00:35:18.449><c> would</c><00:35:18.670><c> not</c><00:35:18.869><c> judge.</c>

00:35:20.030 --> 00:35:21.849

00:35:24.550 --> 00:35:25.829
The<00:35:24.650><c> Lord</c><00:35:24.869><c> hath</c><00:35:25.030><c> forsaken</c><00:35:25.489><c> the</c><00:35:25.690><c> earth.</c>

He<00:35:26.050><c> doesn't</c><00:35:26.289><c> see</c><00:35:26.510><c> us.</c>

00:35:27.250 --> 00:35:28.889
He's<00:35:27.530><c> not</c><00:35:27.690><c> going</c><00:35:27.829><c> to</c><00:35:28.030><c> judge.</c>

00:35:29.690 --> 00:35:32.369
How<00:35:29.909><c> could</c><00:35:29.969><c> they</c><00:35:30.369><c> possibly</c><00:35:30.949><c> have</c><00:35:31.190><c> reached</c><00:35:31.329><c> a</c><00:35:31.530><c> condition</c><00:35:31.829><c> of</c><00:35:32.110><c> mind</c>

00:40:28.210 --> 00:40:31.329
Probably<00:40:28.570><c> all</c><00:40:28.909><c> of</c><00:40:29.130><c> us</c><00:40:29.409><c> are</c><00:40:29.750><c> to</c><00:40:29.949><c> some</c><00:40:30.150><c> extent</c><00:40:30.449><c> desensitized</c>

00:40:31.329 --> 00:40:35.949
to<00:40:31.570><c> the</c><00:40:32.670><c> degree</c><00:40:32.969><c> which</c><00:40:33.469><c> materialism</c><00:40:34.250><c> has</c><00:40:34.530><c> permeated</c>

00:40:35.949 --> 00:40:38.230
American<00:40:36.690><c> and</c><00:40:36.849><c> Canadian</c><00:40:37.110><c> society.</c>

00:40:38.849 --> 00:40:40.710
It's<00:40:39.289><c> so</c><00:40:39.670><c> ingrained</c><00:40:40.150><c> in</c><00:40:40.269><c> our</c><00:40:40.510><c> society</c>

00:40:40.710 --> 00:40:41.650
that<00:40:40.849><c> we</c><00:40:41.030><c> seldom</c><00:40:41.210><c> notice</c><00:40:41.530><c> it.</c>

00:40:42.090 --> 00:40:43.570
But<00:40:42.329><c> visitors</c><00:40:42.630><c> will</c><00:40:42.849><c> come</c><00:40:43.050><c> to</c><00:40:43.269><c> America,</c>

00:40:43.650 --> 00:40:45.550

00:40:45.929 --> 00:40:47.869
and<00:40:46.469><c> they'll</c><00:40:46.789><c> concede</c><00:40:47.090><c> our</c><00:40:47.369><c> concern</c>

00:40:47.869 --> 00:40:48.969
for<00:40:48.050><c> the</c><00:40:48.250><c> possession</c><00:40:48.510><c> of</c><00:40:48.769><c> things</c>

00:40:48.969 --> 00:40:51.070

00:40:51.230 --> 00:40:52.909
and<00:40:51.230><c> they</c><00:40:51.530><c> are</c><00:40:51.750><c> amazed</c>

00:40:53.230 --> 00:40:57.070
at<00:40:53.730><c> the</c><00:40:53.849><c> way</c><00:40:54.010><c> we</c><00:40:54.909><c> will</c><00:40:55.110><c> trade</c><00:40:55.889><c> holidays</c>

00:40:57.070 --> 00:40:57.989
and<00:40:57.250><c> vacation</c><00:40:57.590><c> time</c><00:40:57.829><c> in</c>

00:40:57.989 --> 00:41:00.190
for<00:40:58.150><c> working</c><00:40:58.429><c> overtime</c><00:40:58.809><c> to</c><00:40:58.949><c> get</c><00:40:59.110><c> more</c><00:40:59.329><c> money.</c>

00:41:00.269 --> 00:41:03.690
We're<00:41:00.769><c> so</c><00:41:00.989><c> used</c><00:41:01.170><c> to</c><00:41:01.329><c> it,</c><00:41:01.449><c> it</c><00:41:01.710><c> doesn't</c><00:41:01.929><c> even</c><00:41:02.429><c> faze</c><00:41:02.670><c> us.</c>

00:41:04.250 --> 00:41:06.070
But<00:41:04.409><c> it's</c><00:41:04.550><c> a</c><00:41:04.610><c> matter,</c><00:41:04.829><c> we</c><00:41:05.030><c> have</c><00:41:05.210><c> become</c><00:41:05.550><c> hardened</c>

00:41:06.070 --> 00:41:09.510
to<00:41:06.809><c> our</c><00:41:07.309><c> absorption</c><00:41:07.690><c> in</c><00:41:08.190><c> materialism.</c>

00:41:11.269 --> 00:41:13.130
So<00:41:11.570><c> we</c><00:41:11.650><c> need</c><00:41:11.809><c> to</c><00:41:11.889><c> be</c><00:41:12.070><c> aware</c><00:41:12.289><c> of</c><00:41:12.489><c> this,</c>

00:41:13.389 --> 00:41:14.690
that<00:41:13.530><c> we</c><00:41:13.690><c> can</c><00:41:13.869><c> become</c><00:41:14.210><c> hardened</c>

00:41:14.690 --> 00:41:17.730

00:41:18.369 --> 00:41:20.969
And<00:41:18.809><c> that's</c><00:41:19.010><c> exactly</c><00:41:19.469><c> what</c><00:41:19.650><c> happened</c><00:41:19.889><c> to</c><00:41:20.070><c> Israel.</c>

00:41:21.349 --> 00:41:22.750
Things<00:41:21.590><c> that</c><00:41:21.730><c> we</c><00:41:21.869><c> can</c><00:41:21.969><c> look</c><00:41:22.190><c> back</c><00:41:22.409><c> on</c><00:41:22.530><c> and</c><00:41:22.650><c> say,</c>

00:41:22.789 --> 00:41:24.050
how<00:41:22.929><c> could</c><00:41:23.070><c> they</c><00:41:23.269><c> ever</c><00:41:23.530><c> have</c><00:41:23.750><c> done</c><00:41:23.849><c> that</c>

00:41:24.050 --> 00:41:25.130
and<00:41:24.210><c> think</c><00:41:24.329><c> that</c><00:41:24.449><c> they</c><00:41:24.530><c> could</c><00:41:24.630><c> get</c><00:41:24.769><c> away</c><00:41:24.949><c> with</c><00:41:25.070><c> it?</c>

00:41:25.130 --> 00:41:28.130
They<00:41:25.269><c> had</c><00:41:25.369><c> become</c><00:41:25.590><c> insensitive</c><00:41:26.150><c> to</c><00:41:26.730><c> the</c><00:41:26.909><c> things</c><00:41:27.050><c> of</c><00:41:27.289><c> God.</c>

00:41:28.949 --> 00:41:31.849
And<00:41:29.250><c> sin</c><00:41:29.570><c> is</c><00:41:30.429><c> deceitful.</c>

00:41:34.730 --> 00:41:37.030
Sin<00:41:34.949><c> will</c><00:41:35.230><c> tell</c><00:41:35.389><c> us</c><00:41:35.610><c> that</c><00:41:35.809><c> because</c><00:41:36.070><c> we</c><00:41:36.269><c> can't</c><00:41:36.510><c> see</c><00:41:36.730><c> God,</c>

00:41:37.070 --> 00:41:38.849
God<00:41:37.269><c> can't</c><00:41:37.590><c> see</c><00:41:37.789><c> us.</c>

00:41:39.869 --> 00:41:43.309
That<00:41:40.309><c> was</c><00:41:40.750><c> behind</c><00:41:41.269><c> the</c><00:41:42.210><c> thinking</c><00:41:42.429><c> of</c><00:41:42.610><c> the</c><00:41:42.789><c> people</c>

00:41:43.309 --> 00:41:46.610

00:41:50.949 --> 00:41:54.050
We<00:41:51.130><c> can</c><00:41:51.389><c> feel</c><00:41:51.769><c> that</c><00:41:52.329><c> because</c><00:41:52.710><c> God</c><00:41:52.989><c> doesn't</c><00:41:53.309><c> judge</c><00:41:53.610><c> immediately</c>

00:41:54.050 --> 00:41:56.349

00:41:56.590 --> 00:41:58.030
And<00:41:56.730><c> sin</c><00:41:56.829><c> deceives</c><00:41:57.329><c> us</c><00:41:57.550><c> into</c><00:41:57.769><c> thinking</c>

00:41:58.030 --> 00:42:00.869
that<00:41:58.610><c> we</c><00:41:58.869><c> can</c><00:41:59.010><c> go</c><00:41:59.250><c> along</c><00:41:59.550><c> doing</c><00:41:59.809><c> the</c><00:42:00.030><c> wrong</c><00:42:00.250><c> thing</c>

00:42:07.750 --> 00:42:09.489
Indulgence<00:42:08.289><c> deceives</c><00:42:08.750><c> us.</c>

00:42:09.769 --> 00:42:11.750
It<00:42:09.949><c> will</c><00:42:10.130><c> give</c><00:42:10.210><c> us</c><00:42:10.570><c> temporary</c><00:42:11.030><c> satisfaction</c>

00:42:11.750 --> 00:42:13.889

00:42:13.889 --> 00:42:18.150
that<00:42:14.030><c> is</c><00:42:14.469><c> what</c><00:42:15.170><c> we</c><00:42:16.230><c> want</c><00:42:16.449><c> and</c><00:42:16.570><c> what</c><00:42:16.730><c> is</c><00:42:16.869><c> good</c><00:42:17.010><c> for</c><00:42:17.210><c> us.</c>

00:42:18.389 --> 00:42:21.889
Where<00:42:18.469><c> in</c><00:42:18.590><c> the</c><00:42:18.710><c> long</c><00:42:18.969><c> term</c><00:42:19.170><c> indulgence</c><00:42:19.949><c> is</c><00:42:20.530><c> a</c><00:42:20.710><c> hollow</c><00:42:20.889><c> thing.</c>

00:42:23.170 --> 00:42:26.909
So<00:42:23.809><c> we</c><00:42:24.449><c> can</c><00:42:24.590><c> take</c><00:42:24.829><c> a</c><00:42:24.949><c> look</c><00:42:25.510><c> at</c><00:42:26.150><c> these</c><00:42:26.550><c> lessons</c>
