it's<00:07:18.339><c> saying</c>

00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.240
Then<00:07:20.319><c> we</c><00:07:20.779><c> have</c><00:07:20.920><c> the</c><00:07:21.100><c> record</c><00:07:21.399><c> from</c>

00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:05.379
some

00:09:05.379 --> 00:09:09.500

00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:16.580
think<00:09:16.320><c> that's</c>

00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.919
That's<00:09:17.259><c> true</c><00:09:17.480><c> as</c><00:09:17.799><c> well</c>

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.379
Often<00:09:20.639><c> when</c><00:09:21.200><c> you</c><00:09:21.360><c> know</c><00:09:21.600><c> Bible</c><00:09:21.879><c> school</c><00:09:22.159><c> subject</c><00:09:22.519><c> on</c><00:09:22.759><c> John</c><00:09:22.940><c> is</c>

00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.600
So<00:09:26.700><c> we</c><00:09:26.820><c> look</c><00:09:26.919><c> at</c><00:09:27.100><c> the</c><00:09:27.240><c> eight</c><00:09:27.460><c> signs</c><00:09:28.019><c> all</c><00:09:28.720><c> of</c><00:09:28.919><c> that</c><00:09:29.059><c> is</c><00:09:29.700><c> is</c><00:09:30.120><c> fair</c><00:09:30.259><c> enough</c>

00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:35.799
But<00:09:31.059><c> I</c><00:09:31.440><c> think</c><00:09:31.639><c> there</c><00:09:31.820><c> is</c><00:09:32.139><c> something</c><00:09:32.480><c> else</c><00:09:32.879><c> here</c><00:09:33.379><c> which</c><00:09:34.279><c> is</c><00:09:34.980><c> about</c>

00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:41.720
We<00:09:41.080><c> must</c>

00:09:48.419 --> 00:09:51.100
Just<00:09:48.940><c> think</c><00:09:49.120><c> about</c><00:09:49.299><c> it</c><00:09:49.460><c> chapter</c><00:09:49.799><c> 1</c><00:09:50.059><c> there</c><00:09:50.200><c> is</c><00:09:50.419><c> a</c><00:09:50.559><c> new</c><00:09:50.700><c> creation</c>
