00:36:49.409 --> 00:36:51.469

00:45:48.550 --> 00:45:49.670
Why<00:45:48.869><c> early</c><00:45:49.110><c> and</c><00:45:49.230><c> latter</c><00:45:49.409><c> rain?</c>

00:45:49.969 --> 00:45:52.690
Well,<00:45:50.110><c> you</c><00:45:50.329><c> see,</c><00:45:50.849><c> it</c><00:45:51.050><c> rained</c><00:45:51.269><c> so</c><00:45:51.690><c> much</c><00:45:51.969><c> in</c><00:45:52.250><c> between</c>

00:45:52.690 --> 00:45:56.670
that<00:45:53.530><c> rain</c><00:45:53.789><c> was</c><00:45:54.030><c> relatively</c><00:45:54.530><c> unimportant</c><00:45:55.269><c> as</c><00:45:55.730><c> our</c><00:45:55.989><c> June</c><00:45:56.409><c> and</c>

00:45:56.670 --> 00:45:58.030
July<00:45:57.070><c> is.</c>

00:45:58.690 --> 00:46:01.210
We<00:45:58.949><c> rarely</c><00:45:59.230><c> worry</c><00:45:59.570><c> about</c><00:45:59.769><c> rain</c><00:46:00.110><c> in</c><00:46:00.289><c> June</c><00:46:00.469><c> and</c><00:46:00.570><c> July</c><00:46:00.869><c> except,</c>

00:46:04.050 --> 00:46:05.949
But<00:46:04.269><c> what</c><00:46:04.550><c> really</c><00:46:05.010><c> counts,</c>

00:46:06.030 --> 00:46:07.730
and<00:46:06.190><c> more</c><00:46:06.389><c> so</c><00:46:06.530><c> in</c><00:46:06.650><c> those</c><00:46:06.929><c> days</c><00:46:07.090><c> when</c><00:46:07.230><c> they</c><00:46:07.269><c> didn't</c><00:46:07.489><c> have</c>

00:46:24.489 --> 00:46:25.809
And<00:46:24.650><c> the</c><00:46:24.809><c> ground</c><00:46:25.050><c> softens</c><00:46:25.449><c> up.</c>

Isn't<00:46:26.130><c> that</c><00:46:26.309><c> what</c><00:46:26.530><c> they</c><00:46:26.530><c> get?</c>

00:46:27.949 --> 00:46:29.949

00:46:33.610 --> 00:46:36.170
And<00:46:33.750><c> up</c><00:46:33.949><c> comes</c><00:46:34.250><c> the</c><00:46:34.429><c> germination</c><00:46:34.889><c> of</c><00:46:35.070><c> the</c><00:46:35.289><c> corn</c>

He<00:58:00.530><c> gives</c><00:58:00.730><c> the</c><00:58:00.989><c> reasons</c><00:58:01.289><c> why</c><00:58:01.510><c> they</c><00:58:01.730><c> had</c><00:58:01.929><c> to</c><00:58:02.050><c> have</c><00:58:02.329><c> patience.</c>

00:58:03.070 --> 00:58:04.369
Take,<00:58:03.510><c> my</c><00:58:03.610><c> brethren,</c><00:58:03.929><c> the</c><00:58:04.170><c> prophets</c>

00:58:04.369 --> 00:58:07.829
who<00:58:05.150><c> have</c><00:58:05.550><c> spoken</c><00:58:05.889><c> in</c><00:58:06.150><c> the</c><00:58:06.309><c> name</c><00:58:06.550><c> of</c><00:58:06.730><c> the</c><00:58:06.889><c> Lord.</c>

00:58:09.090 --> 00:58:11.309
So<00:58:09.230><c> the</c><00:58:09.469><c> exhortation</c><00:58:10.170><c> is</c><00:58:10.429><c> not</c><00:58:10.670><c> only</c>

00:58:11.309 --> 00:58:14.730
to<00:58:11.690><c> follow</c><00:58:11.829><c> the</c><00:58:12.269><c> example</c><00:58:12.530><c> of</c><00:58:12.730><c> the</c><00:58:12.889><c> prophets</c><00:58:13.090><c> in</c><00:58:13.349><c> their</c><00:58:13.610><c> endurance,</c>

00:58:15.550 --> 00:58:17.309
but<00:58:15.730><c> to</c><00:58:15.989><c> follow</c><00:58:16.230><c> their</c><00:58:16.550><c> example</c>

00:58:18.030 --> 00:58:19.809
for<00:58:18.550><c> which</c><00:58:18.869><c> they</c><00:58:19.150><c> were</c><00:58:19.409><c> afflicted.</c>

00:58:19.809 --> 00:58:22.010
In<00:58:20.090><c> other</c><00:58:20.309><c> words,</c><00:58:20.809><c> if</c><00:58:20.909><c> they</c><00:58:21.070><c> had</c><00:58:21.210><c> never</c><00:58:21.650><c> spoken</c>

00:58:22.010 --> 00:58:23.730
in<00:58:22.190><c> the</c><00:58:22.269><c> name</c><00:58:22.409><c> of</c><00:58:22.610><c> the</c><00:58:22.730><c> Lord,</c><00:58:23.010><c> brethren</c><00:58:23.210><c> and</c><00:58:23.469><c> sisters,</c>

00:58:23.909 --> 00:58:26.570
they<00:58:24.150><c> would</c><00:58:24.590><c> never</c><00:58:25.010><c> have</c><00:58:25.269><c> been</c><00:58:25.449><c> persecuted.</c>

00:58:26.710 --> 00:58:28.570
And<00:58:26.849><c> he's</c><00:58:27.070><c> got</c><00:58:27.250><c> Jeremiah</c><00:58:27.670><c> 20</c><00:58:28.010><c> in</c><00:58:28.130><c> his</c><00:58:28.389><c> mind,</c>

00:58:28.570 --> 00:58:29.789
I<00:58:28.750><c> believe,</c><00:58:29.010><c> when</c><00:58:29.130><c> he</c><00:58:29.269><c> said</c><00:58:29.429><c> that.</c>

00:58:29.989 --> 00:58:31.750
You<00:58:30.130><c> look</c><00:58:30.269><c> at</c><00:58:30.449><c> this</c><00:58:30.610><c> here.</c>

00:58:32.750 --> 00:58:34.389
This<00:58:32.949><c> is</c><00:58:33.150><c> why</c><00:58:33.289><c> they</c><00:58:33.530><c> suffered.</c>

00:58:34.429 --> 00:58:37.050
They<00:58:34.670><c> didn't</c><00:58:34.969><c> suffer</c><00:58:35.269><c> because</c><00:58:35.590><c> people</c><00:58:35.889><c> just</c><00:58:36.289><c> didn't</c><00:58:36.530><c> like</c><00:58:36.809><c> them.</c>

00:58:37.150 --> 00:58:40.250
They<00:58:37.530><c> suffered</c><00:58:37.710><c> because</c><00:58:38.130><c> they</c><00:58:38.829><c> spoke</c><00:58:39.090><c> the</c><00:58:39.409><c> truth.</c>

00:58:41.230 --> 00:58:43.309
And<00:58:41.429><c> so</c><00:58:41.610><c> in</c><00:58:41.750><c> Jeremiah</c><00:58:42.170><c> chapter</c><00:58:42.510><c> 20,</c>

00:58:44.010 --> 00:58:45.030
here's<00:58:44.309><c> why</c><00:58:44.489><c> they</c><00:58:44.809><c> suffered.</c>

00:58:45.050 --> 00:58:46.389
And<00:58:45.230><c> this</c><00:58:45.309><c> is</c><00:58:45.389><c> what</c><00:58:45.610><c> James</c><00:58:45.949><c> says.</c>

00:58:46.750 --> 00:58:49.389
The<00:58:47.070><c> prophets</c><00:58:47.329><c> who</c><00:58:47.550><c> have</c><00:58:47.989><c> spoken</c><00:58:48.429><c> in</c><00:58:48.590><c> the</c><00:58:48.730><c> name</c><00:58:48.849><c> of</c><00:58:49.030><c> the</c><00:58:49.150><c> Lord.</c>

00:58:49.809 --> 00:58:52.389
And<00:58:50.269><c> in</c><00:58:50.389><c> chapter</c><00:58:50.650><c> 20</c><00:58:50.969><c> of</c><00:58:51.150><c> Jeremiah</c><00:58:51.630><c> and</c><00:58:51.829><c> verse</c><00:58:52.130><c> 18,</c>

00:58:52.429 --> 00:58:55.530
he<00:58:52.550><c> says,</c><00:58:53.150><c> Oh</c><00:58:53.210><c> Yahweh,</c><00:58:54.130><c> thou</c><00:58:54.349><c> hast</c><00:58:54.670><c> deceived</c><00:58:55.070><c> me,</c>

00:58:55.530 --> 00:58:57.210
and<00:58:55.710><c> I</c><00:58:55.889><c> was</c><00:58:56.110><c> deceived.</c>

00:58:57.829 --> 00:59:00.530
Thou<00:58:58.010><c> art</c><00:58:58.170><c> stronger</c><00:58:58.550><c> than</c><00:58:58.769><c> I,</c><00:58:59.010><c> and</c><00:58:59.110><c> hast</c><00:58:59.309><c> prevailed.</c>

00:59:01.369 --> 00:59:03.150
I<00:59:01.750><c> am</c><00:59:02.130><c> in</c><00:59:02.409><c> derision</c><00:59:02.769><c> daily.</c>

00:59:03.269 --> 00:59:04.510
Everyone<00:59:03.710><c> mockers</c><00:59:04.190><c> me.</c>

00:59:04.690 --> 00:59:07.269
For<00:59:04.829><c> since</c><00:59:05.210><c> I</c><00:59:05.570><c> stake,</c><00:59:05.889><c> I</c><00:59:06.269><c> cried,</c><00:59:06.670><c> I</c><00:59:06.829><c> cried</c><00:59:07.050><c> out,</c>

00:59:07.429 --> 00:59:09.050
violence<00:59:07.809><c> and</c><00:59:08.190><c> spoil,</c>

00:59:09.409 --> 00:59:12.050
because<00:59:09.889><c> the</c><00:59:10.369><c> word</c><00:59:10.610><c> of</c><00:59:10.869><c> Yahweh</c><00:59:11.150><c> was</c><00:59:11.429><c> made</c><00:59:11.650><c> unto</c><00:59:11.829><c> me,</c>

00:59:12.090 --> 00:59:14.449
I<00:59:12.210><c> would</c><00:59:12.409><c> approach</c><00:59:12.630><c> unto</c><00:59:12.849><c> me</c><00:59:12.989><c> in</c><00:59:13.110><c> a</c><00:59:13.250><c> derision</c><00:59:13.530><c> daily.</c>

00:59:15.090 --> 00:59:17.949
Then<00:59:15.349><c> I</c><00:59:15.630><c> said,</c><00:59:15.769><c> I</c><00:59:15.869><c> will</c><00:59:16.130><c> not</c><00:59:16.409><c> make</c><00:59:16.610><c> mention</c><00:59:16.849><c> of</c><00:59:17.090><c> him,</c>

00:59:18.210 --> 00:59:20.289
nor<00:59:18.389><c> speak</c><00:59:18.750><c> any</c><00:59:19.050><c> more</c><00:59:19.190><c> in</c><00:59:19.329><c> his</c><00:59:19.570><c> name.</c>

00:59:20.570 --> 00:59:23.570
But<00:59:21.090><c> his</c><00:59:21.389><c> word</c><00:59:21.570><c> was</c><00:59:21.809><c> in</c><00:59:21.869><c> my</c><00:59:22.230><c> heart</c><00:59:22.389><c> as</c><00:59:22.590><c> a</c><00:59:22.769><c> burning</c><00:59:23.130><c> fire.</c>

00:59:23.710 --> 00:59:25.429
I<00:59:23.769><c> shut</c><00:59:23.889><c> up</c><00:59:24.030><c> in</c><00:59:24.210><c> my</c><00:59:24.469><c> bones.</c>

00:59:25.449 --> 00:59:26.789
I<00:59:25.570><c> was</c><00:59:25.829><c> weary</c><00:59:26.090><c> with</c><00:59:26.389><c> forebearing.</c>

00:59:26.809 --> 00:59:29.510
I<00:59:27.050><c> could</c><00:59:27.530><c> not</c><00:59:27.949><c> stay,</c><00:59:28.369><c> he</c><00:59:28.630><c> said.</c>

00:59:30.329 --> 00:59:32.949
And<00:59:30.389><c> this</c><00:59:30.630><c> poor</c><00:59:31.010><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:59:31.789><c> brothers</c><00:59:31.889><c> and</c><00:59:31.929><c> sisters,</c>

00:59:33.210 --> 00:59:35.690
the<00:59:33.449><c> prophet</c><00:59:33.710><c> of</c><00:59:33.989><c> woe</c><00:59:34.230><c> and</c><00:59:34.369><c> of</c><00:59:34.710><c> doom,</c>

00:59:36.269 --> 00:59:39.070
who<00:59:36.369><c> never</c><00:59:36.610><c> was</c><00:59:36.889><c> given</c><00:59:37.150><c> the</c><00:59:37.449><c> task</c><00:59:37.650><c> to</c><00:59:37.829><c> bring</c><00:59:38.090><c> joy</c><00:59:38.369><c> to</c><00:59:38.530><c> anyone's</c>

00:59:40.369 --> 00:59:42.409
There<00:59:40.469><c> were</c><00:59:40.690><c> bursts</c><00:59:41.030><c> in</c><00:59:41.170><c> his</c><00:59:41.429><c> prophecy,</c>

00:59:42.550 --> 00:59:44.150
that<00:59:42.650><c> were</c><00:59:42.929><c> Isaiah</c><00:59:43.389><c> and</c><00:59:43.550><c> his</c><00:59:43.730><c> character,</c>

00:59:44.469 --> 00:59:46.989
but<00:59:44.690><c> mainly</c><00:59:45.030><c> there</c><00:59:45.170><c> was</c><00:59:45.389><c> a</c><00:59:45.469><c> tremendous</c><00:59:45.909><c> burden</c><00:59:46.369><c> with</c><00:59:46.550><c> that</c><00:59:46.769><c> man.</c>

00:59:47.250 --> 00:59:49.489
And<00:59:47.469><c> everywhere</c><00:59:47.789><c> he</c><00:59:47.949><c> went,</c><00:59:48.309><c> he</c><00:59:48.349><c> spread</c><00:59:48.550><c> gloom</c><00:59:48.949><c> to</c><00:59:49.090><c> the</c><00:59:49.230><c> nation.</c>

00:59:49.809 --> 00:59:50.690
He<00:59:49.809><c> didn't</c><00:59:49.909><c> want</c><00:59:50.170><c> to</c><00:59:50.289><c> do</c><00:59:50.409><c> that.</c>

00:59:50.849 --> 00:59:52.190
But<00:59:50.969><c> it</c><00:59:51.010><c> was</c><00:59:51.289><c> the</c><00:59:51.429><c> word</c><00:59:51.630><c> of</c><00:59:51.909><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:59:52.309 --> 00:59:53.510
He<00:59:52.530><c> had</c><00:59:52.789><c> to</c><00:59:53.050><c> say</c><00:59:53.269><c> that.</c>

00:59:53.710 --> 00:59:54.710
And<00:59:53.789><c> they</c><00:59:53.929><c> came</c><00:59:54.230><c> back</c><00:59:54.469><c> at</c><00:59:54.570><c> him.</c>

00:59:54.829 --> 00:59:55.989
They<00:59:55.090><c> threw</c><00:59:55.289><c> him</c><00:59:55.429><c> in</c><00:59:55.550><c> a</c><00:59:55.630><c> dungeon.</c>

00:59:56.289 --> 00:59:57.449
They<00:59:56.630><c> burned</c><00:59:56.849><c> his</c><00:59:57.110><c> Bible.</c>

00:59:57.869 --> 00:59:59.409
They<00:59:58.230><c> dragged</c><00:59:58.550><c> him</c><00:59:58.789><c> there.</c>

01:00:00.409 --> 01:00:03.269
He<01:00:00.849><c> was</c><01:00:01.170><c> the</c><01:00:01.329><c> whisper</c><01:00:01.610><c> of</c><01:00:01.929><c> everyone's</c><01:00:02.989><c> heart.</c>

01:00:03.489 --> 01:00:04.969
They<01:00:03.710><c> stood</c><01:00:03.889><c> up</c><01:00:04.090><c> and</c><01:00:04.269><c> condemned</c><01:00:04.650><c> him.</c>

01:00:05.150 --> 01:00:06.070
He<01:00:05.349><c> felt</c><01:00:05.550><c> derided.</c>

01:00:06.210 --> 01:00:07.070
He<01:00:06.269><c> felt</c><01:00:06.550><c> alone.</c>

01:00:07.329 --> 01:00:09.829
He<01:00:07.469><c> felt</c><01:00:07.650><c> that</c><01:00:07.929><c> Yahweh</c><01:00:08.250><c> had</c><01:00:08.550><c> deceived</c><01:00:08.849><c> him.</c>

01:00:10.730 --> 01:00:12.809

01:03:12.869 --> 01:03:14.849
But<01:03:12.949><c> that's</c><01:03:13.070><c> not</c><01:03:13.329><c> exactly</c><01:03:13.789><c> what</c><01:03:14.110><c> Job</c><01:03:14.309><c> had</c><01:03:14.570><c> said,</c>

01:03:19.289 --> 01:03:23.949
And<01:03:19.369><c> so</c><01:03:19.650><c> Yahweh</c><01:03:20.250><c> blessed</c><01:03:21.010><c> the</c><01:03:21.630><c> latter</c><01:03:22.010><c> end</c><01:03:22.610><c> of</c><01:03:23.110><c> Job.</c>

01:03:29.829 --> 01:03:32.550
Why<01:03:30.070><c> didn't</c><01:03:30.289><c> he</c><01:03:30.510><c> say</c><01:03:30.690><c> you've</c><01:03:30.969><c> seen</c><01:03:31.110><c> the</c><01:03:31.210><c> end</c><01:03:31.469><c> of</c><01:03:31.730><c> Job?</c>

01:03:33.150 --> 01:03:35.829
Why<01:03:33.429><c> did</c><01:03:33.590><c> he</c><01:03:33.750><c> say</c><01:03:34.110><c> you've</c><01:03:34.550><c> seen</c><01:03:34.690><c> the</c><01:03:34.849><c> end</c><01:03:35.269><c> of</c><01:03:35.530><c> Yahweh?</c>

01:03:37.969 --> 01:03:40.170
Because<01:03:38.210><c> you</c><01:03:38.409><c> look</c><01:03:38.550><c> at</c><01:03:38.710><c> the</c><01:03:38.829><c> two</c><01:03:39.090><c> statements.</c>

that<01:03:50.530><c> Yahweh</c><01:03:51.130><c> had</c><01:03:51.530><c> an</c><01:03:51.769><c> end</c><01:03:52.110><c> in</c><01:03:52.449><c> view</c><01:03:52.809><c> which</c><01:03:53.570><c> involved</c><01:03:54.429><c> Job.</c>

01:03:56.730 --> 01:03:58.269
That's<01:03:57.030><c> what</c><01:03:57.190><c> he</c><01:03:57.409><c> means.</c>

01:03:58.349 --> 01:03:59.969
That's<01:03:58.710><c> what</c><01:03:58.730><c> he</c><01:03:58.889><c> puts</c><01:03:59.130><c> it</c><01:03:59.289><c> the</c><01:03:59.389><c> other</c><01:03:59.610><c> way.</c>

01:03:59.969 --> 01:04:06.010
But<01:04:00.690><c> right</c><01:04:01.090><c> from</c><01:04:01.329><c> the</c><01:04:01.469><c> beginning</c><01:04:02.150><c> when</c><01:04:03.469><c> Satan</c><01:04:04.110><c> would</c><01:04:04.989><c> accuse</c><01:04:05.510><c> God</c>

01:04:06.010 --> 01:04:09.969
and<01:04:06.710><c> say</c><01:04:06.929><c> that</c><01:04:07.130><c> God's</c><01:04:07.610><c> righteousness</c><01:04:07.989><c> was</c><01:04:08.289><c> of</c><01:04:08.510><c> no</c><01:04:08.809><c> value,</c>

01:04:10.389 --> 01:04:11.949

01:04:11.969 --> 01:04:14.530
and<01:04:12.070><c> therefore</c><01:04:12.469><c> God's</c><01:04:13.110><c> righteousness</c><01:04:13.510><c> was</c><01:04:13.789><c> not</c><01:04:13.969><c> as</c><01:04:14.269><c> valuable</c>

So<01:05:09.710><c> Yahweh</c><01:05:10.050><c> had</c><01:05:10.389><c> an</c><01:05:10.570><c> end</c><01:05:10.690><c> in</c><01:05:10.929><c> view</c><01:05:11.210><c> and</c><01:05:11.650><c> it</c><01:05:12.030><c> included</c><01:05:12.369><c> Job.</c>

01:05:14.730 --> 01:05:17.150
And<01:05:14.849><c> if</c><01:05:14.929><c> we</c><01:05:15.070><c> don't</c><01:05:15.269><c> understand</c><01:05:15.710><c> the</c><01:05:16.010><c> means,</c><01:05:16.449><c> brothers</c><01:05:16.550><c> and</c><01:05:16.750><c> sisters,</c>

01:07:48.889 --> 01:07:50.630
Well<01:07:49.110><c> they'd</c><01:07:49.309><c> swear</c><01:07:49.489><c> by</c><01:07:49.730><c> the</c><01:07:49.829><c> hair</c><01:07:49.949><c> of</c><01:07:50.090><c> their</c><01:07:50.210><c> head,</c><01:07:50.349><c> well</c><01:07:50.449><c> He</c>

01:07:52.730 --> 01:07:55.050

01:07:55.130 --> 01:07:57.289
Now<01:07:55.349><c> James</c><01:07:55.550><c> is</c><01:07:55.750><c> appropriating</c><01:07:56.309><c> the</c><01:07:56.489><c> Lord's</c><01:07:56.829><c> words,</c><01:07:57.030><c> but</c><01:07:57.150><c> with</c>

01:07:59.550 --> 01:08:02.489
Here<01:07:59.710><c> it's</c><01:07:59.889><c> a</c><01:08:00.010><c> question</c><01:08:00.210><c> of</c><01:08:00.369><c> bringing</c><01:08:00.650><c> down</c><01:08:00.909><c> oaths</c><01:08:01.190><c> upon</c><01:08:01.329><c> each</c><01:08:01.610><c> other,</c>

01:08:03.369 --> 01:08:04.670
of<01:08:03.769><c> condemnation.</c>

01:08:05.190 --> 01:08:07.329
James<01:08:05.409><c> says</c><01:08:05.530><c> you</c><01:08:05.630><c> don't</c><01:08:05.809><c> do</c><01:08:06.070><c> that.</c>

01:08:16.310 --> 01:08:18.930
That's<01:08:16.710><c> the</c><01:08:16.850><c> echo</c><01:08:17.029><c> of</c><01:08:17.229><c> chapter</c><01:08:17.449><c> 1,</c><01:08:17.750><c> isn't</c><01:08:17.850><c> it?</c>

01:08:19.890 --> 01:08:23.329
So<01:08:20.210><c> a</c><01:08:20.369><c> brother</c><01:08:20.649><c> falls</c><01:08:21.770><c> into</c><01:08:22.090><c> a</c><01:08:22.250><c> temptation.</c>

01:08:28.569 --> 01:08:31.250
In<01:08:28.670><c> some</c><01:08:28.869><c> way</c><01:08:29.010><c> he</c><01:08:29.130><c> might</c><01:08:29.350><c> indirectly</c><01:08:29.850><c> affect</c><01:08:30.170><c> us,</c><01:08:30.470><c> or</c><01:08:30.590><c> directly</c><01:08:31.050><c> for</c>

01:08:36.829 --> 01:08:39.430
And<01:08:36.930><c> we've</c><01:08:37.569><c> fallen</c><01:08:37.869><c> into</c><01:08:38.350><c> a</c><01:08:38.689><c> condemnation.</c>

01:08:42.770 --> 01:08:45.510
Beware<01:08:43.250><c> is</c><01:08:43.729><c> the</c><01:08:43.930><c> point</c><01:08:44.069><c> that</c><01:08:44.310><c> James</c><01:08:44.510><c> is</c><01:08:44.710><c> making.</c>

They're<01:08:57.609><c> the</c><01:08:57.750><c> people</c><01:08:57.890><c> who</c><01:08:58.069><c> are</c><01:08:58.189><c> not</c><01:08:58.409><c> readily</c><01:08:58.729><c> the</c><01:08:58.949><c> ones</c><01:08:59.069><c> who</c>

See,<01:10:25.010><c> James</c><01:10:25.109><c> is</c><01:10:25.329><c> finishing</c><01:10:25.609><c> his</c><01:10:25.850><c> epistle</c><01:10:26.170><c> with</c><01:10:26.409><c> relationships</c><01:10:27.090><c> of</c><01:10:27.409><c> brethren</c>

01:10:27.630 --> 01:10:28.890
with<01:10:27.890><c> brethren.</c>

01:10:29.649 --> 01:10:32.229
Kindness,<01:10:30.649><c> love,</c><01:10:31.350><c> compassion.</c>

01:10:33.310 --> 01:10:35.350
There<01:10:33.390><c> were</c><01:10:33.449><c> people</c><01:10:33.689><c> who</c><01:10:33.789><c> were</c><01:10:33.970><c> sick</c><01:10:34.250><c> among</c><01:10:34.529><c> them.</c>

01:10:35.630 --> 01:10:38.390
I'm<01:10:35.829><c> going</c><01:10:35.909><c> to</c><01:10:36.010><c> make</c><01:10:36.170><c> a</c><01:10:36.430><c> suggestion</c><01:10:36.750><c> here,</c><01:10:37.170><c> brethren</c><01:10:37.250><c> and</c><01:10:37.529><c> sisters.</c>

01:10:39.109 --> 01:10:41.710
I<01:10:39.430><c> know</c><01:10:39.609><c> there</c><01:10:39.770><c> are</c><01:10:39.949><c> difficulties</c><01:10:40.329><c> in</c><01:10:40.529><c> this</c><01:10:40.710><c> suggestion.</c>

01:10:42.529 --> 01:10:48.609
But<01:10:42.689><c> it</c><01:10:42.970><c> seems</c><01:10:43.329><c> to</c><01:10:43.510><c> me</c><01:10:44.649><c> that</c><01:10:45.170><c> when</c><01:10:45.390><c> James</c><01:10:45.710><c> talks</c><01:10:46.010><c> about</c><01:10:46.329><c> sickness</c><01:10:46.770><c> in</c><01:10:47.010><c> verse</c><01:10:47.250><c> 14</c><01:10:47.649><c> onwards,</c>

01:10:49.270 --> 01:10:52.789
that<01:10:49.750><c> the</c><01:10:49.909><c> matter</c><01:10:50.210><c> of</c><01:10:50.449><c> prayer</c><01:10:50.909><c> and</c><01:10:51.210><c> the</c><01:10:51.850><c> laying</c><01:10:52.029><c> on</c><01:10:52.210><c> of</c><01:10:52.449><c> hands</c>

01:10:54.750 --> 01:10:56.909
is<01:10:55.029><c> all</c><01:10:55.270><c> bound</c><01:10:55.470><c> up</c><01:10:55.710><c> with</c><01:10:55.890><c> this</c><01:10:56.130><c> sickness.</c>

01:10:57.510 --> 01:11:00.210
And<01:10:57.670><c> it</c><01:10:57.770><c> would</c><01:10:58.010><c> seem</c><01:10:58.229><c> to</c><01:10:58.430><c> me</c><01:10:58.609><c> that</c><01:10:58.829><c> the</c><01:10:59.170><c> particular</c><01:10:59.729><c> sickness</c>

01:11:00.210 --> 01:11:03.270
that<01:11:00.390><c> has</c><01:11:00.489><c> come</c><01:11:00.710><c> upon</c><01:11:01.210><c> the</c><01:11:01.590><c> people</c><01:11:01.770><c> to</c><01:11:01.949><c> whom</c><01:11:02.029><c> he</c><01:11:02.250><c> talks</c><01:11:02.529><c> here,</c>

01:11:03.710 --> 01:11:06.850
though<01:11:03.909><c> I</c><01:11:04.130><c> believe</c><01:11:04.449><c> it</c><01:11:04.689><c> is</c><01:11:04.909><c> general</c><01:11:05.390><c> in</c><01:11:06.069><c> the</c><01:11:06.329><c> overall</c><01:11:06.590><c> sense,</c>

01:11:06.890 --> 01:11:09.489
but<01:11:07.050><c> I</c><01:11:07.109><c> think</c><01:11:07.189><c> there's</c><01:11:07.470><c> a</c><01:11:07.609><c> specific</c><01:11:08.130><c> reference</c><01:11:08.609><c> here</c><01:11:08.970><c> to</c><01:11:09.250><c> that</c>

01:11:09.489 --> 01:11:11.670
type<01:11:09.770><c> of</c><01:11:10.069><c> sickness</c><01:11:10.289><c> which</c><01:11:10.569><c> comes</c><01:11:10.829><c> upon</c><01:11:11.170><c> people</c>

01:11:11.670 --> 01:11:14.609
as<01:11:12.069><c> a</c><01:11:12.189><c> result</c><01:11:12.569><c> of</c><01:11:12.829><c> their</c><01:11:13.130><c> own</c><01:11:13.529><c> sins</c>

01:11:15.789 --> 01:11:19.590
and<01:11:16.310><c> of</c><01:11:16.550><c> the</c><01:11:16.930><c> friction</c><01:11:17.390><c> that</c><01:11:17.649><c> arises</c><01:11:18.109><c> between</c><01:11:18.569><c> brethren</c><01:11:18.869><c> because</c><01:11:19.369><c> of</c>

01:11:19.590 --> 01:11:20.810
such<01:11:19.770><c> things.</c>

01:11:21.109 --> 01:11:24.090
I'd<01:11:21.390><c> like</c><01:11:21.489><c> you</c><01:11:21.630><c> to</c><01:11:21.789><c> turn</c><01:11:22.010><c> to</c><01:11:22.210><c> Psalm</c><01:11:22.470><c> 107.</c>

01:11:24.789 --> 01:11:25.829
It<01:11:25.010><c> does</c><01:11:25.329><c> happen.</c>

01:11:26.149 --> 01:11:28.850
The<01:11:26.329><c> Scripture</c><01:11:26.590><c> testifies</c><01:11:27.289><c> to</c><01:11:27.510><c> that.</c>

01:11:40.189 --> 01:11:42.649
And<01:11:40.369><c> without</c><01:11:40.569><c> wishing</c><01:11:40.810><c> to</c><01:11:41.050><c> say</c><01:11:41.189><c> this</c><01:11:41.329><c> is</c><01:11:41.550><c> all</c><01:11:41.810><c> that</c><01:11:41.989><c> James</c><01:11:42.189><c> is</c><01:11:42.390><c> saying,</c>

01:11:42.649 --> 01:11:46.029
I<01:11:42.850><c> believe</c><01:11:43.170><c> that</c><01:11:43.329><c> this</c><01:11:43.470><c> is</c><01:11:43.689><c> involved</c><01:11:44.050><c> in</c><01:11:44.170><c> it,</c><01:11:44.369><c> brethren</c><01:11:44.550><c> and</c><01:11:44.810><c> sisters.</c>

01:11:47.229 --> 01:11:51.189
In<01:11:47.430><c> Psalm</c><01:11:47.670><c> 107,</c><01:11:49.170><c> reading</c><01:11:49.489><c> from</c><01:11:49.729><c> verse</c><01:11:49.909><c> 17,</c>

01:11:53.510 --> 01:11:57.350
souls,<01:11:53.989><c> because</c><01:11:54.470><c> of</c><01:11:54.670><c> their</c><01:11:54.949><c> transgressions</c><01:11:56.250><c> and</c><01:11:56.770><c> because</c><01:11:57.189><c> of</c>

01:11:57.350 --> 01:11:59.149
their<01:11:57.550><c> iniquities,</c><01:11:58.210><c> are</c><01:11:58.409><c> afflicted.</c>

01:12:00.449 --> 01:12:04.829
Their<01:12:00.810><c> soul</c><01:12:01.210><c> abhors</c><01:12:01.789><c> all</c><01:12:02.149><c> manner</c><01:12:02.390><c> of</c><01:12:02.649><c> meat,</c><01:12:04.250><c> and</c><01:12:04.409><c> they</c><01:12:04.689><c> draw</c>

01:12:07.930 --> 01:12:11.010
Then<01:12:08.250><c> they</c><01:12:08.529><c> cry</c><01:12:08.789><c> unto</c><01:12:09.029><c> Yahweh</c><01:12:09.369><c> in</c><01:12:09.550><c> their</c><01:12:09.750><c> trouble,</c><01:12:10.010><c> and</c><01:12:10.130><c> He</c><01:12:10.350><c> savor</c><01:12:10.569><c> them</c><01:12:10.770><c> out</c><01:12:10.930><c> of</c>

01:12:11.010 --> 01:12:12.529
their<01:12:11.170><c> distresses.</c>

01:12:12.649 --> 01:12:17.649
He<01:12:13.090><c> sent</c><01:12:13.369><c> His</c><01:12:13.710><c> Word</c><01:12:13.930><c> and</c><01:12:15.270><c> healed</c><01:12:15.689><c> them</c><01:12:16.270><c> and</c><01:12:17.170><c> delivered</c><01:12:17.430><c> them</c>

01:12:17.649 --> 01:12:19.329
from<01:12:17.869><c> all</c><01:12:18.069><c> their</c><01:12:18.270><c> destruction.</c>

01:12:19.689 --> 01:12:23.090
Oh,<01:12:20.050><c> that</c><01:12:20.210><c> man</c><01:12:20.470><c> would</c><01:12:20.829><c> praise</c><01:12:21.090><c> Yahweh</c><01:12:21.609><c> for</c><01:12:21.829><c> his</c><01:12:22.090><c> goodness</c><01:12:22.510><c> and</c>

01:12:26.170 --> 01:12:28.470
How<01:12:26.529><c> often</c><01:12:26.850><c> is</c><01:12:27.050><c> it,</c><01:12:27.270><c> brothers</c><01:12:27.430><c> and</c><01:12:27.710><c> sisters,</c><01:12:28.010><c> that</c><01:12:28.109><c> we</c><01:12:28.210><c> come</c>

together<01:12:29.409><c> and</c><01:12:30.109><c> complain</c><01:12:30.590><c> about</c><01:12:30.869><c> our</c><01:12:31.149><c> sicknesses?</c>

01:12:32.729 --> 01:12:36.789
I<01:12:33.250><c> can't</c><01:12:33.590><c> read</c><01:12:33.810><c> your</c><01:12:34.069><c> mind,</c><01:12:34.829><c> but</c><01:12:35.210><c> I</c><01:12:35.350><c> can</c><01:12:35.449><c> only</c><01:12:35.630><c> make</c><01:12:35.829><c> a</c><01:12:35.970><c> suggestion</c><01:12:36.310><c> of</c><01:12:36.510><c> what's</c><01:12:36.770><c> in</c>

01:12:36.789 --> 01:12:38.170
it<01:12:36.909><c> very</c><01:12:37.210><c> often.</c>

01:12:38.529 --> 01:12:40.970
But<01:12:39.090><c> very</c><01:12:39.489><c> often</c><01:12:39.670><c> when</c><01:12:39.810><c> we</c><01:12:39.909><c> come</c><01:12:40.149><c> to</c><01:12:40.250><c> a</c><01:12:40.390><c> meeting</c><01:12:40.550><c> and</c><01:12:40.750><c> we're</c>

depressed<01:12:41.289><c> and</c><01:12:41.449><c> we're</c><01:12:41.710><c> despondent,</c>

01:12:42.210 --> 01:12:44.930
we<01:12:42.529><c> are</c><01:12:42.890><c> literally</c><01:12:43.289><c> and</c><01:12:43.590><c> physically</c><01:12:43.989><c> ill.</c>

01:12:45.949 --> 01:12:50.109
Is<01:12:46.289><c> it</c><01:12:46.590><c> not</c><01:12:46.909><c> because</c><01:12:47.510><c> we</c><01:12:47.789><c> have</c><01:12:47.989><c> been</c><01:12:48.289><c> depressed</c><01:12:48.810><c> in</c><01:12:49.289><c> spirit?</c>

01:12:51.250 --> 01:12:53.430
Why<01:12:51.609><c> do</c><01:12:51.810><c> we</c><01:12:52.390><c> abhor</c><01:12:52.590><c> all</c><01:12:52.869><c> manner</c><01:12:53.090><c> of</c><01:12:53.350><c> meat?</c>

01:12:53.510 --> 01:12:56.069
We<01:12:53.670><c> can't</c><01:12:54.069><c> eat.</c><01:12:54.689><c> We</c><01:12:54.829><c> abhor</c><01:12:55.109><c> all</c><01:12:55.369><c> manner</c><01:12:55.590><c> of</c><01:12:55.850><c> meat.</c>

01:12:56.390 --> 01:12:59.550
We<01:12:56.510><c> draw</c><01:12:56.750><c> near</c><01:12:56.949><c> to</c><01:12:57.130><c> the</c><01:12:57.289><c> gates</c><01:12:57.470><c> of</c><01:12:57.789><c> death</c><01:12:58.029><c> because</c><01:12:58.529><c> we're</c><01:12:58.890><c> fools.</c>

01:12:59.710 --> 01:13:03.109
That's<01:13:00.069><c> why.</c><01:13:01.449><c> Because</c><01:13:01.750><c> we</c><01:13:01.970><c> can't</c><01:13:02.430><c> sleep</c><01:13:02.710><c> at</c><01:13:02.949><c> night.</c>

01:13:03.149 --> 01:13:06.170

01:13:06.170 --> 01:13:08.710
Either<01:13:06.810><c> because</c><01:13:07.170><c> of</c><01:13:07.350><c> things</c><01:13:07.510><c> we've</c><01:13:07.689><c> done</c><01:13:07.970><c> wrong</c><01:13:08.270><c> or</c><01:13:08.449><c> things</c>

01:13:11.909 --> 01:13:14.750
And<01:13:12.029><c> we're</c><01:13:12.250><c> uneasy</c><01:13:12.609><c> in</c><01:13:12.890><c> life</c><01:13:13.090><c> because</c><01:13:13.350><c> we</c><01:13:13.569><c> know</c><01:13:13.869><c> that</c><01:13:14.069><c> the</c><01:13:14.510><c> coming</c><01:13:14.609><c> of</c>

01:13:18.930 --> 01:13:22.029
and<01:13:19.069><c> we</c><01:13:19.170><c> can't</c><01:13:19.569><c> therefore</c><01:13:19.949><c> radiate</c><01:13:20.829><c> a</c><01:13:21.329><c> bright</c><01:13:21.510><c> and</c><01:13:21.689><c> a</c><01:13:21.789><c> happy</c>
