00:32:37.900 --> 00:32:40.920
What's<00:32:38.559><c> the</c><00:32:38.700><c> picture</c><00:32:38.940><c> that</c><00:32:39.099><c> you</c><00:32:39.220><c> have</c><00:32:39.339><c> in</c><00:32:39.420><c> your</c><00:32:39.599><c> head,</c><00:32:39.880><c> brothers</c><00:32:39.940><c> and</c><00:32:40.160><c> sisters?</c>

00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:44.420
This<00:32:41.200><c> is</c><00:32:41.460><c> the</c><00:32:41.599><c> picture</c><00:32:41.779><c> that</c><00:32:41.980><c> I</c><00:32:42.079><c> always</c><00:32:42.359><c> had.</c><00:32:43.819><c> Abraham</c><00:32:44.140><c> picks</c>

00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:50.640
Is<00:32:49.319><c> that</c><00:32:49.380><c> the</c><00:32:49.519><c> picture</c><00:32:49.619><c> you</c><00:32:49.880><c> have?</c>

00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:53.039
I<00:32:52.019><c> don't</c><00:32:52.200><c> think</c><00:32:52.359><c> that's</c><00:32:52.579><c> it</c><00:32:52.680><c> at</c><00:32:52.799><c> all.</c>

00:32:53.500 --> 00:32:58.440
I<00:32:53.759><c> think</c><00:32:55.119><c> that</c><00:32:55.359><c> God,</c><00:32:55.720><c> in</c><00:32:55.740><c> his</c><00:32:55.980><c> mercy,</c><00:32:57.019><c> as</c><00:32:57.119><c> much</c><00:32:57.339><c> as</c><00:32:57.500><c> Abraham</c><00:32:57.799><c> was</c><00:32:58.000><c> committed</c><00:32:58.279><c> to</c>

00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:01.420

00:33:01.420 --> 00:33:02.480
let<00:33:01.559><c> him</c><00:33:01.720><c> get</c><00:33:01.900><c> to</c><00:33:02.039><c> that</c><00:33:02.240><c> point,</c>

00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:05.960
because<00:33:03.019><c> this</c><00:33:03.380><c> is</c><00:33:03.640><c> not</c><00:33:03.819><c> how</c><00:33:03.960><c> you</c><00:33:04.299><c> slay</c><00:33:04.740><c> a</c><00:33:04.900><c> burnt</c><00:33:05.059><c> offering.</c>

00:33:06.940 --> 00:33:08.920
That's<00:33:07.420><c> not</c><00:33:07.579><c> what</c><00:33:07.660><c> you</c><00:33:07.759><c> do.</c>

00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:14.119
You<00:33:09.700><c> take</c><00:33:10.000><c> the</c><00:33:10.200><c> knife</c><00:33:10.799><c> to</c><00:33:12.880><c> the</c><00:33:13.140><c> throat</c><00:33:13.299><c> to</c><00:33:13.559><c> spill</c><00:33:13.700><c> the</c><00:33:13.900><c> blood.</c>

00:33:14.539 --> 00:33:17.480
And<00:33:14.680><c> I</c><00:33:14.779><c> think</c><00:33:14.920><c> what</c><00:33:15.180><c> happened</c><00:33:15.779><c> was</c><00:33:16.420><c> when</c><00:33:16.559><c> we</c><00:33:16.740><c> look</c><00:33:16.940><c> here,</c><00:33:17.400><c> it</c>

00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:21.460
doesn't<00:33:17.759><c> say</c><00:33:18.019><c> that</c><00:33:18.279><c> Abraham</c><00:33:18.779><c> stretched</c><00:33:19.380><c> forth</c><00:33:19.660><c> his</c><00:33:19.980><c> hand</c><00:33:20.519><c> and</c>

00:33:21.460 --> 00:33:22.900
took<00:33:21.660><c> the</c><00:33:21.839><c> knife</c><00:33:22.000><c> to</c><00:33:22.220><c> slay</c><00:33:22.400><c> his</c><00:33:22.640><c> son,</c>

00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:26.000
and<00:33:23.299><c> then</c><00:33:24.480><c> stretched</c><00:33:24.799><c> forth</c><00:33:25.119><c> his</c><00:33:25.339><c> hand</c><00:33:25.500><c> with</c><00:33:25.720><c> the</c><00:33:25.880><c> knife.</c>

00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:30.619
It<00:33:26.299><c> says</c><00:33:26.460><c> that</c><00:33:26.720><c> he</c><00:33:27.079><c> stretched</c><00:33:27.420><c> forth</c><00:33:27.759><c> his</c><00:33:28.099><c> hand</c><00:33:28.660><c> and</c><00:33:29.339><c> took</c><00:33:29.619><c> the</c><00:33:29.839><c> knife.</c>

00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:34.839
So<00:33:30.799><c> it's</c><00:33:31.039><c> almost</c><00:33:31.180><c> as</c><00:33:31.359><c> if</c><00:33:31.599><c> the</c><00:33:32.119><c> knife</c><00:33:32.299><c> is</c><00:33:32.500><c> down,</c><00:33:32.720><c> and</c><00:33:32.880><c> he</c><00:33:34.579><c> picks</c>

00:33:36.059 --> 00:33:37.819
And<00:33:36.440><c> he</c><00:33:36.539><c> takes</c><00:33:36.779><c> it.</c>

00:33:38.819 --> 00:33:40.259
And<00:33:38.920><c> then</c><00:33:39.039><c> he</c><00:33:39.099><c> hears</c><00:33:39.240><c> the</c><00:33:39.440><c> voice.</c>

00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:43.740

00:46:46.659 --> 00:46:50.000

00:46:53.539 --> 00:46:56.820
But<00:46:54.019><c> he</c><00:46:54.119><c> was</c><00:46:54.280><c> never</c><00:46:54.480><c> deceived</c><00:46:54.980><c> by</c><00:46:55.260><c> it.</c>

00:46:58.139 --> 00:47:03.219

00:47:05.579 --> 00:47:08.900
for<00:47:06.059><c> all</c><00:47:06.239><c> that</c><00:47:06.380><c> would</c><00:47:06.579><c> associate</c><00:47:07.000><c> themselves</c><00:47:07.519><c> with</c><00:47:07.780><c> him</c><00:47:08.420><c> and</c>

in<00:47:09.179><c> him.</c>

00:47:10.820 --> 00:47:12.559

00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:18.260
And<00:47:16.219><c> just</c><00:47:16.460><c> as</c><00:47:16.639><c> much</c><00:47:16.800><c> as</c><00:47:16.940><c> the</c><00:47:17.119><c> burning</c><00:47:17.300><c> bush</c><00:47:17.539><c> is</c><00:47:17.780><c> a</c><00:47:17.900><c> symbol</c>

00:47:27.400 --> 00:47:30.780
it's<00:47:27.880><c> also</c><00:47:28.119><c> true</c><00:47:28.300><c> of</c><00:47:28.480><c> the</c><00:47:28.619><c> ark</c><00:47:28.860><c> that</c><00:47:29.699><c> was</c><00:47:29.900><c> made</c><00:47:30.079><c> of</c><00:47:30.239><c> that</c><00:47:30.480><c> same</c>

thorny<00:47:31.019><c> material.</c>

00:47:31.500 --> 00:47:33.260
Because<00:47:31.659><c> in</c><00:47:31.860><c> the</c><00:47:32.019><c> ark,</c><00:47:32.199><c> are</c><00:47:32.320><c> there</c><00:47:32.460><c> any</c><00:47:32.679><c> thorns</c><00:47:32.880><c> in</c><00:47:33.039><c> the</c><00:47:33.159><c> ark</c>

00:47:33.260 --> 00:47:34.440
by<00:47:33.440><c> the</c><00:47:33.559><c> way?</c>

00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:37.500
No.

00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:42.679
Because<00:47:39.760><c> the</c><00:47:40.099><c> Lord</c><00:47:40.219><c> Jesus</c><00:47:40.519><c> Christ</c><00:47:40.820><c> having</c><00:47:41.239><c> been</c><00:47:41.840><c> glorified,</c>

00:47:44.420 --> 00:47:51.079

00:47:54.039 --> 00:47:56.960
So<00:47:54.179><c> just</c><00:47:54.380><c> consider</c><00:47:54.920><c> what</c><00:47:55.880><c> we</c><00:47:56.159><c> have</c><00:47:56.559><c> here.</c>

00:47:57.079 --> 00:48:00.099
We've<00:47:57.599><c> already</c><00:47:57.920><c> seen</c><00:47:58.139><c> this</c><00:47:58.420><c> slide</c><00:47:58.639><c> on</c><00:47:59.280><c> Shittim.</c>

00:48:00.440 --> 00:48:02.639
The<00:48:00.659><c> ark</c><00:48:00.820><c> of</c><00:48:00.980><c> Shittim</c><00:48:01.280><c> Wood,</c><00:48:01.440><c> what</c><00:48:01.579><c> was</c><00:48:01.780><c> inside?</c>

00:48:08.239 --> 00:48:09.219
Aaron's<00:48:08.599><c> Rod.</c>

00:48:09.579 --> 00:48:10.219
Anything<00:48:09.800><c> else?</c>

00:48:10.219 --> 00:48:12.340
Pot<00:48:10.659><c> of</c><00:48:10.860><c> Mana.</c>

00:48:12.619 --> 00:48:14.679
Golden<00:48:12.639><c> Pot</c><00:48:12.960><c> of</c><00:48:14.179><c> Mana.</c>

00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:19.039

00:48:20.139 --> 00:48:21.539
I<00:48:20.500><c> think</c><00:48:20.860><c> we've</c><00:48:21.019><c> got</c><00:48:21.159><c> Aaron's</c><00:48:21.440><c> Rod.</c>

00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:22.699
I<00:48:21.639><c> think</c><00:48:21.820><c> that's</c><00:48:22.019><c> it.</c>

00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:25.119
What<00:48:23.239><c> was</c><00:48:23.239><c> that?</c>

00:48:25.460 --> 00:48:26.239
That's<00:48:25.719><c> it,</c><00:48:25.860><c> okay</c><00:48:26.059><c> good.</c>

00:48:26.599 --> 00:48:28.139
Getting<00:48:26.739><c> nervous</c><00:48:27.000><c> there</c><00:48:27.139><c> for</c><00:48:27.300><c> a</c><00:48:27.360><c> second.</c>

00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:30.539
And<00:48:29.480><c> that's</c><00:48:29.739><c> Hebrews</c><00:48:29.880><c> 9</c><00:48:30.179><c> and</c><00:48:30.420><c> 4.</c>

00:48:30.619 --> 00:48:33.500
So<00:48:30.699><c> the</c><00:48:30.840><c> ark</c><00:48:30.980><c> of</c><00:48:31.099><c> the</c><00:48:31.239><c> covenant</c><00:48:31.460><c> overlaid</c><00:48:32.079><c> roundabout</c><00:48:32.760><c> with</c><00:48:33.199><c> gold.</c>

00:48:33.559 --> 00:48:35.460
And<00:48:33.639><c> we're</c><00:48:33.760><c> actually</c><00:48:34.019><c> told</c><00:48:34.179><c> that</c><00:48:34.320><c> it</c><00:48:34.360><c> was</c><00:48:34.599><c> overlaid</c><00:48:34.960><c> within</c>

00:48:36.300 --> 00:48:38.139

00:48:38.139 --> 00:48:41.920

00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:53.719

Aha!
