00:08:04.660 --> 00:08:09.689
First<00:08:04.959><c> of</c><00:08:05.180><c> all,</c><00:08:06.980><c> appreciate</c><00:08:07.319><c> the</c><00:08:07.560><c> problem</c><00:08:07.879><c> and</c><00:08:08.339><c> pray</c><00:08:08.579><c> about</c><00:08:08.819><c> it.</c>

00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:16.470
First<00:08:12.779><c> point,</c><00:08:13.879><c> establish</c><00:08:14.500><c> just</c><00:08:14.860><c> what</c><00:08:15.139><c> the</c><00:08:15.379><c> problem</c><00:08:15.600><c> is.</c>

00:08:17.850 --> 00:08:20.550

00:08:20.629 --> 00:08:22.089
Now<00:08:20.769><c> watch</c><00:08:20.930><c> how</c><00:08:21.189><c> Moses</c><00:08:21.490><c> does</c><00:08:21.750><c> this.</c>

00:08:22.509 --> 00:08:24.230
He's<00:08:22.670><c> heard</c><00:08:22.829><c> the</c><00:08:23.110><c> complaint</c><00:08:23.350><c> in</c><00:08:23.569><c> verse</c><00:08:23.750><c> three,</c>

00:08:29.129 --> 00:08:30.029
That's<00:08:29.389><c> the</c><00:08:29.529><c> first</c><00:08:29.750><c> action.</c>

00:08:30.269 --> 00:08:32.049
Pray<00:08:30.550><c> about</c><00:08:30.850><c> it</c><00:08:31.050><c> before</c><00:08:31.269><c> you</c><00:08:31.449><c> do</c><00:08:31.670><c> anything.</c>

00:08:32.389 --> 00:08:34.490
Don't<00:08:32.610><c> pray</c><00:08:32.870><c> afterwards,</c><00:08:33.649><c> pray</c><00:08:33.909><c> before,</c>

00:08:34.830 --> 00:08:36.570

00:08:39.309 --> 00:08:42.110
And<00:08:39.490><c> then</c><00:08:39.590><c> verse</c><00:08:39.850><c> five,</c><00:08:41.029><c> you're</c><00:08:41.309><c> under</c><00:08:41.529><c> obligation</c>

00:08:44.210 --> 00:08:47.929
And<00:08:44.730><c> he</c><00:08:44.909><c> spake</c><00:08:45.169><c> unto</c><00:08:45.470><c> Korah,</c><00:08:47.429><c> mainly,</c>

00:08:51.029 --> 00:08:54.049
saying,<00:08:51.889><c> even</c><00:08:51.970><c> tomorrow</c><00:08:52.429><c> the</c><00:08:52.649><c> Lord</c><00:08:52.870><c> will</c><00:08:53.090><c> show</c><00:08:53.330><c> who</c><00:08:53.590><c> are</c><00:08:53.769><c> his</c>

00:08:57.669 --> 00:08:59.590
Even<00:08:57.990><c> him</c><00:08:58.309><c> whom</c><00:08:58.549><c> he</c><00:08:58.690><c> hath</c><00:08:58.950><c> chosen,</c>

00:09:04.350 --> 00:09:08.090
And<00:09:04.710><c> then</c><00:09:05.090><c> the</c><00:09:05.970><c> others</c><00:09:06.190><c> must</c><00:09:06.470><c> be</c><00:09:06.809><c> involved</c>

00:09:11.710 --> 00:09:15.669
Verse<00:09:12.009><c> 12,</c><00:09:12.850><c> Moses</c><00:09:13.330><c> sent</c><00:09:13.690><c> to</c><00:09:13.950><c> call</c><00:09:14.289><c> Dathan</c><00:09:14.809><c> and</c><00:09:15.149><c> Abiram,</c>

the<00:09:16.230><c> sons</c><00:09:16.409><c> of</c><00:09:16.590><c> Eliab.</c>

00:09:17.450 --> 00:09:20.330
Actually,<00:09:17.950><c> they</c><00:09:18.190><c> said,</c><00:09:18.929><c> we</c><00:09:18.990><c> will</c><00:09:19.309><c> not</c><00:09:19.629><c> come</c><00:09:19.889><c> up.</c>

00:09:20.769 --> 00:09:22.830
We're<00:09:20.990><c> not</c><00:09:21.190><c> interested</c><00:09:21.730><c> in</c><00:09:22.029><c> debate.</c>

00:09:22.870 --> 00:09:24.789
We<00:09:22.929><c> just</c><00:09:23.190><c> want</c><00:09:23.309><c> you</c><00:09:23.450><c> to</c><00:09:23.649><c> step</c><00:09:23.870><c> down.</c>

00:09:25.149 --> 00:09:27.750
We're<00:09:25.710><c> so</c><00:09:26.029><c> sure</c><00:09:26.230><c> that</c><00:09:26.389><c> we're</c><00:09:26.570><c> going</c><00:09:26.669><c> to</c><00:09:26.909><c> win</c>

that<00:09:28.070><c> we're</c><00:09:28.429><c> not</c><00:09:28.649><c> interested</c><00:09:29.070><c> in</c><00:09:29.330><c> talking</c><00:09:29.629><c> to</c><00:09:29.809><c> you</c><00:09:29.929><c> about</c><00:09:30.149><c> it.</c>

00:09:31.029 --> 00:09:32.970
You've<00:09:31.429><c> exceeded</c><00:09:31.789><c> your</c><00:09:32.149><c> brief.</c>

00:09:33.649 --> 00:09:36.789
You<00:09:33.789><c> shouldn't</c><00:09:34.029><c> be</c><00:09:34.289><c> taking</c><00:09:34.549><c> the</c><00:09:35.669><c> amount</c><00:09:35.990><c> of</c><00:09:36.289><c> responsibility</c>

00:09:36.789 --> 00:09:37.750
that<00:09:37.009><c> you</c><00:09:37.210><c> seem</c><00:09:37.370><c> to</c><00:09:37.570><c> be.</c>

00:09:37.870 --> 00:09:40.870
We're<00:09:38.169><c> all</c><00:09:38.409><c> holy,</c><00:09:38.830><c> so</c><00:09:39.289><c> why</c><00:09:39.529><c> don't</c><00:09:39.629><c> you</c><00:09:39.830><c> just</c><00:09:40.389><c> step</c><00:09:40.610><c> down,</c>

00:09:40.870 --> 00:09:41.809
get<00:09:41.029><c> out</c><00:09:41.250><c> of</c><00:09:41.350><c> the</c><00:09:41.529><c> way,</c>

00:09:42.009 --> 00:09:43.889
and<00:09:42.129><c> we'll</c><00:09:42.250><c> have</c><00:09:42.350><c> a</c><00:09:42.450><c> democratic</c><00:09:43.110><c> situation</c>

00:09:43.889 --> 00:09:45.850
instead<00:09:44.509><c> of</c><00:09:44.710><c> a</c><00:09:44.929><c> dictatorship.</c>

00:09:47.889 --> 00:09:50.029
Welcome<00:09:48.110><c> the</c><00:09:48.289><c> kingdom</c><00:09:48.590><c> of</c><00:09:48.809><c> God,</c><00:09:49.169><c> brethren</c><00:09:49.289><c> and</c><00:09:49.570><c> sisters.</c>

00:09:50.450 --> 00:09:52.370
It's<00:09:50.730><c> going</c><00:09:50.830><c> to</c><00:09:50.990><c> be</c><00:09:51.190><c> a</c><00:09:51.429><c> dictatorship.</c>

00:09:54.990 --> 00:09:56.330
So<00:09:55.210><c> that's</c><00:09:55.509><c> the</c><00:09:55.590><c> first</c><00:09:55.789><c> three</c><00:09:56.049><c> points.</c>

00:09:56.570 --> 00:09:58.090
What<00:09:56.730><c> does</c><00:09:56.889><c> he</c><00:09:57.049><c> do</c><00:09:57.210><c> next?</c>

00:09:58.129 --> 00:10:02.309
Next,<00:09:58.870><c> he</c><00:09:59.070><c> brings</c><00:09:59.570><c> the</c><00:09:59.950><c> matter</c><00:10:00.309><c> to</c><00:10:00.909><c> the</c><00:10:01.129><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:10:03.549 --> 00:10:05.690
And<00:10:03.629><c> he</c><00:10:03.830><c> spake</c><00:10:04.110><c> unto</c><00:10:04.370><c> the,</c><00:10:04.690><c> verse</c><00:10:04.990><c> 26,</c>

00:10:05.870 --> 00:10:07.769
he<00:10:06.210><c> spake</c><00:10:06.590><c> unto</c><00:10:06.809><c> the</c><00:10:07.110><c> congregation.</c>

00:10:08.009 --> 00:10:09.950
Now<00:10:08.149><c> he's</c><00:10:08.309><c> speaking</c><00:10:08.629><c> to</c><00:10:08.830><c> the</c><00:10:08.970><c> Ecclesia,</c><00:10:09.330><c> to</c><00:10:09.470><c> all</c><00:10:09.649><c> of</c><00:10:09.769><c> them.</c>

00:10:09.950 --> 00:10:12.870
Depart,<00:10:10.789><c> I</c><00:10:10.889><c> pray,</c><00:10:11.070><c> you</c><00:10:11.269><c> from</c><00:10:11.450><c> the</c><00:10:11.669><c> tents</c><00:10:11.789><c> of</c><00:10:11.929><c> these</c><00:10:12.149><c> wicked</c><00:10:12.450><c> men.</c>

00:10:13.090 --> 00:10:14.169
Touch<00:10:13.309><c> nothing</c><00:10:13.669><c> of</c><00:10:13.870><c> theirs,</c>

00:10:14.490 --> 00:10:16.370
lest<00:10:14.629><c> you</c><00:10:14.769><c> be</c><00:10:14.990><c> consumed</c><00:10:15.350><c> in</c><00:10:15.549><c> all</c><00:10:15.730><c> their</c><00:10:15.970><c> sins.</c>

00:10:16.750 --> 00:10:18.830
How<00:10:17.230><c> wonderful</c><00:10:17.870><c> it</c><00:10:18.070><c> would</c><00:10:18.210><c> have</c><00:10:18.429><c> been</c>

00:10:18.830 --> 00:10:21.250
if<00:10:19.190><c> Moses</c><00:10:19.649><c> could</c><00:10:19.870><c> have</c><00:10:20.129><c> converted</c><00:10:20.669><c> Korah</c>

00:10:21.250 --> 00:10:22.570
and<00:10:21.490><c> then</c><00:10:21.750><c> Dathan</c><00:10:22.029><c> and</c><00:10:22.250><c> Abiram,</c>

00:10:22.570 --> 00:10:25.909

I<00:15:49.509><c> think</c><00:15:49.690><c> it</c><00:15:49.830><c> was</c><00:15:49.990><c> one</c><00:15:50.129><c> and</c><00:15:50.289><c> the</c><00:15:50.450><c> same</c><00:15:50.629><c> rod,</c><00:15:50.769><c> but</c><00:15:50.950><c> that's</c><00:15:51.190><c> not</c><00:15:51.409><c> a</c>

00:15:53.169 --> 00:15:55.590
It's<00:15:53.309><c> just</c><00:15:53.529><c> a</c><00:15:53.909><c> little</c><00:15:54.169><c> thing</c><00:15:54.350><c> as</c><00:15:54.490><c> we</c><00:15:54.629><c> go</c><00:15:54.809><c> through</c><00:15:54.990><c> the</c><00:15:55.149><c> Word</c><00:15:55.289><c> of</c><00:15:55.470><c> God.</c>

00:15:55.750 --> 00:15:57.029
They're<00:15:55.870><c> never</c><00:15:56.029><c> on</c><00:15:56.190><c> the</c><00:15:56.350><c> stage</c><00:15:56.590><c> together.</c>

We<00:16:27.370><c> say</c><00:16:27.529><c> Aaron's</c><00:16:28.009><c> rod</c><00:16:28.070><c> that</c><00:16:28.330><c> budded,</c><00:16:29.210><c> because</c><00:16:29.470><c> that's</c><00:16:29.809><c> at</c><00:16:30.110><c> the</c>

00:16:44.649 --> 00:16:47.629
And<00:16:45.110><c> so</c><00:16:45.309><c> it</c><00:16:45.409><c> was</c><00:16:45.669><c> with</c><00:16:45.889><c> the</c><00:16:46.029><c> rod</c><00:16:46.169><c> of</c><00:16:46.610><c> Aaron,</c><00:16:46.909><c> the</c><00:16:46.990><c> rod</c><00:16:47.110><c> of</c><00:16:47.370><c> Moses,</c>

Now,<00:17:09.349><c> naturally</c><00:17:09.650><c> speaking,</c><00:17:10.150><c> you</c><00:17:10.210><c> never</c><00:17:10.410><c> get</c><00:17:10.589><c> that</c><00:17:10.750><c> all</c><00:17:10.930><c> at</c><00:17:11.049><c> once,</c><00:17:11.309><c> do</c><00:17:11.470><c> you?</c>

00:17:12.349 --> 00:17:18.049
I<00:17:12.869><c> mean,</c><00:17:13.130><c> you</c><00:17:13.269><c> either</c><00:17:13.529><c> have</c><00:17:13.650><c> the</c><00:17:13.910><c> flower</c><00:17:14.190><c> or</c><00:17:14.529><c> the</c><00:17:14.710><c> bud,</c><00:17:15.029><c> sometimes</c><00:17:15.490><c> together,</c><00:17:16.869><c> or</c><00:17:17.130><c> the</c><00:17:17.309><c> fruit.</c>

Why,<00:17:29.269><c> the</c><00:17:29.650><c> rod,</c><00:17:29.869><c> I</c><00:17:30.069><c> should</c><00:17:30.329><c> think,</c><00:17:31.029><c> had</c><00:17:31.130><c> been</c><00:17:31.390><c> in</c><00:17:31.569><c> the</c><00:17:31.730><c> family</c>

00:17:33.690 --> 00:17:35.710
It<00:17:33.890><c> was</c><00:17:34.109><c> old,</c><00:17:34.349><c> it</c><00:17:34.450><c> was</c><00:17:34.670><c> as</c><00:17:34.890><c> hard</c><00:17:35.069><c> as</c><00:17:35.269><c> this</c><00:17:35.509><c> would.</c>
