Chapter<00:13:19.539><c> 1</c><00:13:19.740><c> it</c><00:13:19.980><c> says</c><00:13:20.220><c> he</c><00:13:20.559><c> had</c><00:13:20.860><c> them</c><00:13:21.120><c> in</c><00:13:21.299><c> his</c><00:13:21.639><c> hand.</c>

00:13:23.419 --> 00:13:25.179
Possesses<00:13:24.100><c> them.</c>

00:13:25.940 --> 00:13:30.279
What's<00:13:26.240><c> it</c><00:13:26.419><c> say</c><00:13:26.659><c> in</c><00:13:26.960><c> the</c><00:13:27.139><c> opening</c><00:13:27.440><c> words</c><00:13:27.879><c> to</c><00:13:28.120><c> the</c><00:13:28.259><c> letter</c><00:13:28.480><c> to</c><00:13:28.740><c> Sardis?</c>

00:13:35.860 --> 00:13:38.480
What<00:13:36.460><c> about</c><00:13:37.039><c> before</c><00:13:37.519><c> that?</c>

00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:42.320
He<00:13:41.639><c> hath.</c>

00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:45.960
And<00:13:43.200><c> it's</c><00:13:44.259><c> a</c><00:13:44.259><c> different</c><00:13:44.779><c> word.</c>

00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:51.659
It's<00:13:48.000><c> as</c><00:13:48.139><c> if</c><00:13:48.259><c> they're</c><00:13:48.500><c> not</c><00:13:49.059><c> in</c><00:13:49.379><c> his</c><00:13:49.779><c> hands</c><00:13:50.299><c> anymore.</c>

00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.740
Previously<00:13:55.139><c> they</c><00:13:55.799><c> were.</c>

00:13:57.700 --> 00:13:58.960
They<00:13:57.779><c> were</c><00:13:57.899><c> now</c><00:13:58.120><c> dead.</c>

00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:03.720
No<00:14:02.279><c> longer</c><00:14:02.519><c> in</c><00:14:02.620><c> his</c><00:14:02.860><c> hand.</c>

00:14:04.179 --> 00:14:04.960
He<00:14:04.379><c> hath</c><00:14:04.620><c> them.</c>

00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:07.960
He<00:14:05.480><c> actually</c><00:14:05.840><c> hadn't</c><00:14:06.320><c> got</c><00:14:06.620><c> them</c><00:14:06.820><c> in</c><00:14:06.860><c> his</c><00:14:07.139><c> hand.</c>

00:14:08.179 --> 00:14:10.019
There<00:14:08.360><c> was</c><00:14:08.620><c> a</c><00:14:08.720><c> subtle</c><00:14:08.919><c> difference.</c>

00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.460
I<00:14:12.720><c> know</c><00:14:13.039><c> thy</c><00:14:13.299><c> works.</c>

00:14:14.659 --> 00:14:16.259
You've<00:14:14.899><c> got</c><00:14:15.019><c> a</c><00:14:15.200><c> name</c><00:14:15.419><c> that</c><00:14:15.639><c> you're</c><00:14:15.940><c> alive.</c>

00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:20.659
All<00:14:16.679><c> Christadelfia</c><00:14:17.360><c> thinks</c><00:14:17.659><c> this</c><00:14:17.960><c> is</c><00:14:18.220><c> the</c><00:14:18.299><c> place</c><00:14:18.620><c> to</c><00:14:18.820><c> be.</c>

00:14:20.820 --> 00:14:22.039
But<00:14:20.820><c> you're</c><00:14:21.179><c> dead.</c>

00:14:26.700 --> 00:14:28.639
That<00:14:27.120><c> would</c><00:14:27.399><c> be</c><00:14:27.639><c> shattering.</c>

00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:31.840
We<00:14:30.399><c> would</c><00:14:30.600><c> be</c><00:14:30.779><c> upset.</c>

00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.279
For<00:14:34.840><c> some</c><00:14:34.980><c> at</c><00:14:35.179><c> the</c><00:14:35.419><c> judgment</c><00:14:35.720><c> seat</c><00:14:35.980><c> it</c><00:14:36.259><c> says</c><00:14:36.460><c> there</c><00:14:36.679><c> shall</c><00:14:36.980><c> be</c>

00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:40.200
wailing<00:14:37.820><c> and</c><00:14:38.379><c> gnashing</c><00:14:38.840><c> of</c><00:14:39.320><c> teeth.</c>

00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:43.200
And<00:14:40.759><c> some</c><00:14:41.000><c> will</c><00:14:41.240><c> say</c><00:14:41.440><c> didn't</c><00:14:41.759><c> we</c><00:14:41.940><c> do</c><00:14:42.100><c> this</c><00:14:42.320><c> in</c><00:14:42.460><c> your</c><00:14:42.659><c> name</c><00:14:42.879><c> Christ?</c>

00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:44.720
Didn't<00:14:43.659><c> we</c><00:14:43.879><c> deliver</c><00:14:44.120><c> these</c><00:14:44.399><c> pamphlets?</c>

00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:46.779
Didn't<00:14:45.000><c> we</c><00:14:45.179><c> support</c><00:14:45.460><c> the</c><00:14:45.639><c> ecclesiast?</c>

00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:51.179
And<00:14:48.340><c> you'll</c><00:14:48.820><c> say</c><00:14:48.840><c> I</c><00:14:48.980><c> never</c><00:14:49.340><c> knew</c><00:14:49.580><c> you.</c>

00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:54.580
Because<00:14:52.240><c> you</c><00:14:52.419><c> were</c><00:14:52.419><c> doing</c><00:14:52.659><c> it</c><00:14:52.799><c> for</c><00:14:52.980><c> the</c><00:14:53.159><c> wrong</c><00:14:53.399><c> reasons.</c>

00:14:56.460 --> 00:14:57.399
It<00:14:56.480><c> wasn't</c><00:14:56.779><c> the</c><00:14:57.139><c> heart.</c>

00:14:57.460 --> 00:15:01.519
It<00:14:57.460><c> was</c><00:14:57.679><c> there</c><00:14:57.919><c> because</c><00:14:59.259><c> maybe</c><00:15:00.299><c> social</c><00:15:00.960><c> factors.</c>

00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:02.720
Or<00:15:02.120><c> you're</c><00:15:02.460><c> important.</c>

00:15:02.899 --> 00:15:05.379
You're<00:15:02.960><c> on</c><00:15:03.159><c> the</c><00:15:03.320><c> committee</c><00:15:03.580><c> of</c><00:15:04.039><c> your</c><00:15:04.279><c> young</c><00:15:04.559><c> folks.</c>

00:15:05.419 --> 00:15:07.940
You<00:15:05.539><c> could</c><00:15:05.720><c> come</c><00:15:05.960><c> out</c><00:15:06.240><c> and</c><00:15:06.399><c> preside</c><00:15:06.899><c> or</c><00:15:07.039><c> whatever</c><00:15:07.360><c> it</c><00:15:07.620><c> might</c><00:15:07.740><c> be.</c>

00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:09.679
There<00:15:07.940><c> were</c><00:15:07.940><c> all</c><00:15:08.120><c> sorts</c><00:15:08.440><c> of</c><00:15:08.600><c> things.</c>

00:15:10.220 --> 00:15:15.299
It<00:15:10.320><c> wasn't</c><00:15:10.620><c> really</c><00:15:10.960><c> affecting</c><00:15:11.340><c> the</c><00:15:11.639><c> person</c><00:15:12.240><c> in</c><00:15:13.639><c> their</c><00:15:13.940><c> heart.</c>

00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.879
This<00:15:18.840><c> letter</c><00:15:19.059><c> frightens.</c>

00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.720
Because<00:15:22.639><c> sometimes</c><00:15:23.080><c> we</c><00:15:23.320><c> are</c><00:15:23.559><c> hypocrites.</c>

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:27.960
And<00:15:25.820><c> sometimes</c><00:15:26.139><c> we</c><00:15:26.299><c> do</c><00:15:26.500><c> things</c><00:15:26.779><c> for</c><00:15:26.960><c> what</c><00:15:27.159><c> we</c><00:15:27.440><c> want</c><00:15:27.639><c> to</c><00:15:27.840><c> do.</c>

00:15:28.059 --> 00:15:30.019
Or<00:15:28.240><c> what</c><00:15:28.379><c> we</c><00:15:28.580><c> want</c><00:15:28.759><c> to</c><00:15:28.879><c> get</c><00:15:29.000><c> out</c><00:15:29.200><c> of</c><00:15:29.340><c> the</c><00:15:29.539><c> ecclesia.</c>

00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.080
And<00:15:30.559><c> not</c><00:15:30.679><c> for</c><00:15:30.860><c> what</c><00:15:30.960><c> God</c><00:15:31.200><c> wants.</c>

00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:35.059
That's<00:15:33.360><c> the</c><00:15:33.580><c> battle</c><00:15:33.779><c> we</c><00:15:33.980><c> all</c><00:15:34.259><c> have.</c>

00:15:35.259 --> 00:15:38.580
That's<00:15:35.740><c> why</c><00:15:35.820><c> we</c><00:15:36.039><c> come</c><00:15:36.519><c> through</c><00:15:37.000><c> the</c><00:15:37.179><c> waters</c><00:15:37.379><c> of</c><00:15:37.659><c> baptism.</c>

00:15:38.740 --> 00:15:41.159
That<00:15:38.879><c> our</c><00:15:39.139><c> weaknesses</c><00:15:39.460><c> can</c><00:15:39.759><c> be</c><00:15:39.960><c> blotted</c><00:15:40.139><c> out.</c>

00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.659
We<00:15:42.659><c> have</c><00:15:42.779><c> a</c><00:15:42.919><c> memorial</c><00:15:43.279><c> meeting</c><00:15:43.600><c> each</c><00:15:43.919><c> week</c><00:15:44.039><c> that</c><00:15:44.200><c> we</c><00:15:44.279><c> might</c><00:15:44.480><c> plead</c><00:15:44.759><c> under</c><00:15:44.980><c> God</c><00:15:45.240><c> for</c><00:15:45.399><c> him</c><00:15:45.500><c> to</c>

00:15:45.659 --> 00:15:47.399
forgive<00:15:46.000><c> us.</c>

00:15:48.019 --> 00:15:50.419
We'll<00:15:48.259><c> try</c><00:15:48.519><c> a</c><00:15:48.580><c> little</c><00:15:48.940><c> harder</c><00:15:49.200><c> the</c><00:15:49.399><c> next</c><00:15:49.600><c> week</c><00:15:49.740><c> to</c><00:15:49.879><c> put</c><00:15:50.100><c> those</c>

00:15:50.419 --> 00:15:52.480
things<00:15:50.700><c> out</c><00:15:51.080><c> of</c><00:15:51.299><c> our</c><00:15:51.539><c> lives.</c>

00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:56.840
We<00:15:54.039><c> turn</c><00:15:54.320><c> around</c><00:15:54.580><c> and</c><00:15:54.759><c> we</c><00:15:54.879><c> make</c><00:15:55.080><c> the</c><00:15:55.299><c> same</c><00:15:55.500><c> mistakes</c><00:15:55.879><c> again.</c>

00:15:57.139 --> 00:15:59.320
Don't<00:15:57.500><c> think</c><00:15:57.700><c> it</c><00:15:57.820><c> doesn't</c><00:15:58.100><c> get</c><00:15:58.799><c> easier.</c>

00:15:59.460 --> 00:16:01.820
Or<00:15:59.659><c> don't</c><00:15:59.899><c> think</c><00:16:00.080><c> it</c><00:16:00.200><c> gets</c><00:16:00.460><c> easier</c><00:16:00.980><c> as</c><00:16:01.259><c> you</c><00:16:01.379><c> get</c><00:16:01.600><c> older.</c>

00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:03.360
It<00:16:02.120><c> doesn't.</c>

00:16:05.700 --> 00:16:08.019
Now<00:16:06.299><c> what</c><00:16:06.539><c> was</c><00:16:06.759><c> their</c><00:16:06.980><c> problem?</c>

00:16:08.820 --> 00:16:10.840
Really<00:16:09.279><c> the</c><00:16:09.779><c> problem.</c>

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:13.240
Be<00:16:11.960><c> watchful.</c>

00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:15.960
They<00:16:14.879><c> weren't</c><00:16:15.539><c> watching.</c>

00:16:16.460 --> 00:16:18.059
And<00:16:16.700><c> that</c><00:16:16.879><c> was</c><00:16:17.039><c> the</c><00:16:17.179><c> problem.</c>

00:16:18.379 --> 00:16:21.620
In<00:16:18.519><c> their</c><00:16:18.759><c> ecclesial</c><00:16:19.220><c> life</c><00:16:19.700><c> they</c><00:16:20.259><c> were</c><00:16:20.500><c> so</c><00:16:20.779><c> bound</c><00:16:21.019><c> up</c><00:16:21.299><c> in</c><00:16:21.500><c> the</c>

00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:28.080
They<00:16:23.759><c> didn't</c><00:16:24.100><c> watch</c><00:16:24.460><c> just</c><00:16:24.879><c> like</c><00:16:25.419><c> ancient</c><00:16:25.919><c> Sardis</c><00:16:26.480><c> hadn't</c><00:16:27.120><c> watched.</c>

00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:31.320
They<00:16:29.700><c> only</c><00:16:29.840><c> put</c><00:16:30.000><c> the</c><00:16:30.240><c> watchman</c><00:16:30.519><c> where</c><00:16:30.679><c> they</c><00:16:30.899><c> thought</c><00:16:31.080><c> they</c>

00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:31.799
needed<00:16:31.580><c> them.</c>

00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:37.120

00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:40.379
little<00:16:37.299><c> aspect</c><00:16:37.580><c> and</c><00:16:37.759><c> forget</c><00:16:37.960><c> all</c><00:16:38.279><c> about</c><00:16:38.539><c> the</c><00:16:38.679><c> other</c><00:16:38.879><c> three</c><00:16:39.179><c> sides.</c>

00:16:41.460 --> 00:16:43.779
Be<00:16:41.620><c> watchful</c><00:16:42.259><c> Christ</c><00:16:42.799><c> said.</c>

00:16:44.419 --> 00:16:47.139
Strengthen<00:16:45.019><c> the</c><00:16:45.320><c> things</c><00:16:45.600><c> that</c><00:16:45.919><c> remain.</c>

00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:51.320
Before<00:16:49.820><c> it</c><00:16:49.919><c> was</c><00:16:50.039><c> too</c><00:16:50.299><c> late.</c>

00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.039
Well<00:16:54.059><c> where</c><00:16:54.639><c> was</c><00:16:55.240><c> Sardis?</c>

00:16:57.159 --> 00:16:59.379
In<00:16:57.419><c> land</c><00:16:57.679><c> as</c><00:16:57.940><c> we</c><00:16:58.179><c> said.</c>

00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:05.299
Not<00:17:02.399><c> far</c><00:17:02.879><c> down</c><00:17:03.259><c> from</c><00:17:04.019><c> Thyatira.</c>

00:17:06.779 --> 00:17:09.119
About<00:17:07.380><c> 30</c><00:17:07.980><c> miles.</c>

00:17:09.819 --> 00:17:13.059
Was<00:17:09.980><c> on</c><00:17:10.220><c> the</c><00:17:10.480><c> crossroads</c><00:17:11.019><c> that</c><00:17:11.259><c> came</c><00:17:11.519><c> through</c><00:17:11.839><c> here</c><00:17:12.140><c> across</c>

00:17:13.059 --> 00:17:15.000
Asia<00:17:13.599><c> Minor</c><00:17:13.920><c> and</c><00:17:14.140><c> headed</c><00:17:14.279><c> up</c><00:17:14.619><c> north.</c>

00:17:15.339 --> 00:17:17.480
And<00:17:15.500><c> the</c><00:17:15.619><c> one</c><00:17:15.740><c> that</c><00:17:15.859><c> came</c><00:17:16.099><c> through</c><00:17:16.380><c> Pergamon</c><00:17:16.859><c> and</c><00:17:17.079><c> down</c><00:17:17.299><c> here</c>

00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:20.619
through<00:17:17.720><c> Philadelphia</c><00:17:18.359><c> and</c><00:17:18.579><c> later</c><00:17:18.880><c> Seir</c><00:17:19.160><c> down</c><00:17:19.380><c> to</c><00:17:19.559><c> the</c><00:17:19.740><c> coast.</c>

00:17:21.380 --> 00:17:24.559
Today<00:17:21.980><c> there's</c><00:17:22.579><c> a</c><00:17:22.619><c> big</c><00:17:22.839><c> city</c><00:17:23.079><c> there.</c>

00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:25.660
Smyrna's<00:17:25.039><c> a</c><00:17:25.119><c> big</c><00:17:25.279><c> city.</c>

00:17:26.019 --> 00:17:28.579
And<00:17:26.200><c> Istanbul</c><00:17:26.619><c> way</c><00:17:26.920><c> up</c><00:17:27.180><c> north</c><00:17:27.460><c> here</c><00:17:27.660><c> near</c><00:17:27.859><c> the</c><00:17:28.099><c> Dardanelles.</c>

00:17:28.579 --> 00:17:31.099
Near<00:17:28.980><c> where</c><00:17:29.480><c> Gallipoli</c><00:17:29.920><c> was</c><00:17:30.220><c> fought.</c>

00:17:31.660 --> 00:17:35.539
They<00:17:31.680><c> are</c><00:17:31.920><c> the</c><00:17:32.079><c> three</c><00:17:32.559><c> biggest</c><00:17:32.940><c> cities</c><00:17:33.460><c> in</c><00:17:34.059><c> that</c><00:17:34.240><c> area</c><00:17:34.539><c> today.</c>

00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:37.319
So<00:17:36.000><c> it</c><00:17:36.079><c> was</c><00:17:36.220><c> on</c><00:17:36.460><c> a</c><00:17:36.599><c> crossroad</c><00:17:37.079><c> area.</c>

00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:38.700
It<00:17:37.400><c> was</c><00:17:37.559><c> a</c><00:17:37.720><c> strategic</c><00:17:38.180><c> position.</c>

00:17:38.980 --> 00:17:41.380
And<00:17:39.119><c> hence</c><00:17:39.339><c> the</c><00:17:39.619><c> fortress</c><00:17:40.059><c> idea.</c>

00:17:45.579 --> 00:17:46.980
Up<00:17:45.819><c> the</c><00:17:46.079><c> top.</c>

00:17:48.460 --> 00:17:51.980
And<00:17:48.619><c> around</c><00:17:48.900><c> here</c><00:17:49.119><c> you</c><00:17:49.240><c> would</c><00:17:49.400><c> have</c><00:17:49.539><c> had</c><00:17:50.559><c> the</c><00:17:51.119><c> suburban</c><00:17:51.539><c> areas</c>

00:17:51.980 --> 00:17:54.559
of<00:17:52.160><c> that</c><00:17:52.440><c> city</c><00:17:52.799><c> and</c><00:17:53.440><c> certain</c><00:17:53.720><c> buildings</c><00:17:54.119><c> and</c><00:17:54.339><c> so</c><00:17:54.460><c> on.</c>

00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:56.240
But<00:17:54.700><c> the</c><00:17:54.920><c> actual</c><00:17:55.240><c> fortress</c><00:17:55.680><c> aspect.</c>

00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.920
The<00:17:56.240><c> administration</c><00:17:57.660><c> and</c><00:17:57.960><c> the</c><00:17:58.180><c> power</c><00:17:58.440><c> of</c><00:17:58.660><c> that</c><00:17:58.839><c> city</c><00:17:59.240><c> was</c><00:17:59.759><c> up</c><00:18:00.019><c> there.</c>

00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:03.460
Watch.

00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:10.539
Now<00:18:04.220><c> who</c><00:18:04.460><c> can</c><00:18:04.859><c> think</c><00:18:05.200><c> of</c><00:18:07.500><c> scripture,</c><00:18:09.539><c> scriptural</c><00:18:10.059><c> passages</c>

00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:15.779
that<00:18:11.480><c> deal</c><00:18:11.759><c> with</c><00:18:12.480><c> watchmen</c><00:18:13.099><c> or</c><00:18:13.500><c> watching</c><00:18:13.900><c> or</c><00:18:14.180><c> being</c><00:18:14.599><c> watchful?</c>

00:18:16.180 --> 00:18:17.720
Any<00:18:16.359><c> at</c><00:18:16.500><c> all?</c>

00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:21.500
What<00:18:20.039><c> was</c><00:18:20.519><c> happening</c><00:18:20.819><c> in</c><00:18:21.000><c> the</c><00:18:21.180><c> story?</c>

00:18:21.500 --> 00:18:22.579
And?

00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:27.119
And<00:18:26.180><c> what</c><00:18:26.339><c> happened?</c>

00:18:28.019 --> 00:18:29.240
So<00:18:28.119><c> who</c><00:18:28.279><c> had</c><00:18:28.420><c> oil?</c>

00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:31.500
Right?

00:18:31.940 --> 00:18:33.059
And<00:18:32.119><c> some?</c>

00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:35.460
What<00:18:34.299><c> did</c><00:18:34.460><c> they</c><00:18:34.660><c> have?</c>

00:18:36.619 --> 00:18:39.240
One<00:18:36.880><c> group</c><00:18:37.180><c> had</c><00:18:37.420><c> oil</c><00:18:37.859><c> in</c><00:18:38.079><c> their</c><00:18:38.259><c> lamps.</c>

00:18:39.460 --> 00:18:41.920
The<00:18:39.640><c> other</c><00:18:39.859><c> group</c><00:18:40.819><c> didn't.</c>

00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:49.779
It's<00:18:46.079><c> like</c><00:18:46.440><c> at</c><00:18:46.759><c> the</c><00:18:46.880><c> time</c><00:18:47.099><c> when</c><00:18:47.299><c> Christ</c><00:18:47.619><c> came</c><00:18:48.759><c> or</c><00:18:49.119><c> will</c><00:18:49.319><c> come.</c>

00:18:49.779 --> 00:18:52.920
Too<00:18:50.220><c> late</c><00:18:50.480><c> to</c><00:18:50.619><c> run</c><00:18:50.819><c> around</c><00:18:51.099><c> and</c><00:18:51.180><c> get</c><00:18:51.359><c> some</c><00:18:51.579><c> oil</c><00:18:51.779><c> then.</c>

00:18:54.180 --> 00:18:58.759
So<00:18:54.259><c> those</c><00:18:54.680><c> who</c><00:18:54.880><c> were</c><00:18:55.180><c> watching</c><00:18:55.779><c> had</c><00:18:57.960><c> their</c><00:18:58.140><c> lamps</c><00:18:58.460><c> filled.</c>

00:18:58.779 --> 00:19:01.920
They<00:18:58.940><c> were</c><00:18:59.119><c> ready</c><00:18:59.400><c> to</c><00:18:59.660><c> meet</c><00:18:59.859><c> the</c><00:19:00.039><c> Lord</c><00:19:00.420><c> in</c><00:19:00.799><c> the</c><00:19:01.000><c> parable.</c>

00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:04.240
So<00:19:02.519><c> we</c><00:19:02.660><c> need</c><00:19:02.839><c> to</c><00:19:02.960><c> be</c><00:19:03.099><c> ready</c><00:19:03.380><c> to</c><00:19:03.619><c> meet</c><00:19:03.799><c> him.</c>

00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:05.859
Where's<00:19:04.599><c> another</c><00:19:04.900><c> example?</c>

00:19:06.339 --> 00:19:06.839
Any<00:19:06.500><c> at</c><00:19:06.619><c> all?</c>

00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:07.740
Have<00:19:07.400><c> a</c><00:19:07.519><c> go.</c>

00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:09.819
You<00:19:07.940><c> must</c><00:19:08.160><c> think</c><00:19:08.339><c> of</c><00:19:08.500><c> some.</c>

00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:15.299
Right?

00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:17.740
In<00:19:15.519><c> Revelation</c><00:19:16.019><c> it</c><00:19:16.240><c> says</c><00:19:16.420><c> that</c><00:19:16.619><c> doesn't</c><00:19:16.859><c> it?</c>

00:19:17.740 --> 00:19:19.579
Be<00:19:18.460><c> ye</c><00:19:18.680><c> getting</c><00:19:19.220><c> ready.</c>

00:19:19.619 --> 00:19:21.059
Watch<00:19:19.940><c> ye</c><00:19:20.180><c> therefore.</c>

00:19:21.339 --> 00:19:23.519
What's<00:19:21.859><c> the</c><00:19:21.940><c> phrase</c><00:19:22.460><c> that</c><00:19:22.940><c> one</c><00:19:23.160><c> quote</c><00:19:23.319><c> is?</c>

00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:29.539
Watch<00:19:23.779><c> ye</c><00:19:24.019><c> therefore</c><00:19:24.460><c> for</c><00:19:24.700><c> ye</c><00:19:24.880><c> know</c><00:19:25.160><c> not</c><00:19:26.140><c> when</c><00:19:27.759><c> the</c><00:19:27.980><c> Lord</c><00:19:28.140><c> will</c><00:19:28.400><c> come.</c>

00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.559
Can<00:19:30.579><c> you</c><00:19:30.700><c> think</c><00:19:30.779><c> of</c><00:19:30.940><c> any</c><00:19:31.180><c> incidents</c><00:19:31.799><c> in</c><00:19:33.519><c> ancient</c><00:19:33.940><c> scriptural</c>

00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:36.660
times<00:19:35.019><c> where</c><00:19:35.279><c> they</c><00:19:35.440><c> didn't</c><00:19:35.700><c> watch?</c>

00:19:36.740 --> 00:19:38.599
Christ<00:19:37.099><c> took</c><00:19:37.279><c> up</c><00:19:37.480><c> the</c><00:19:37.660><c> words.</c>

00:19:39.779 --> 00:19:42.799
Watch<00:19:40.059><c> ye,</c><00:19:40.359><c> you</c><00:19:40.500><c> know</c><00:19:40.720><c> not</c><00:19:41.059><c> when</c><00:19:41.319><c> the</c><00:19:41.539><c> hour</c><00:19:41.700><c> shall</c><00:19:41.900><c> come.</c>

00:19:43.019 --> 00:19:45.720
Anyone<00:19:43.240><c> remember</c><00:19:43.519><c> an</c><00:19:43.740><c> incident</c><00:19:44.019><c> where</c><00:19:44.259><c> those</c><00:19:44.559><c> words</c><00:19:45.140><c> were</c>

00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:46.779
associated<00:19:46.180><c> with</c><00:19:46.400><c> it?</c>

00:19:46.779 --> 00:19:48.660
Luke<00:19:47.160><c> 17?</c>

00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:51.819
What<00:19:49.960><c> is</c><00:19:50.079><c> it?</c>

Now<00:23:16.819><c> did</c><00:23:16.920><c> he</c><00:23:17.119><c> mention</c><00:23:17.359><c> all</c><00:23:17.559><c> those</c><00:23:17.799><c> things?</c>

00:23:21.779 --> 00:23:22.500
You<00:23:22.099><c> read</c><00:23:22.359><c> on.</c>

00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:23.740
Did<00:23:22.700><c> Christ</c><00:23:22.980><c> mention</c><00:23:23.299><c> those</c><00:23:23.539><c> things?</c>

00:23:23.740 --> 00:23:25.160
Did<00:23:23.880><c> he</c><00:23:23.980><c> talk</c><00:23:24.180><c> about</c><00:23:24.420><c> the</c><00:23:24.619><c> immorality?</c>

00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:26.079
The<00:23:25.660><c> violence?</c>

00:23:26.339 --> 00:23:27.519
The<00:23:26.599><c> crime?</c>

00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:30.180
Did<00:23:28.680><c> he</c><00:23:28.940><c> in</c><00:23:29.079><c> those</c><00:23:29.359><c> verses?</c>

00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:31.279
Let's<00:23:30.960><c> have</c><00:23:31.079><c> a</c><00:23:31.160><c> look.</c>

00:23:31.299 --> 00:23:31.940
Perhaps<00:23:31.500><c> over</c><00:23:31.740><c> there.</c>

00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:35.839
Read<00:23:32.559><c> from</c><00:23:33.160><c> verse</c><00:23:34.380><c> 38.</c>

00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:38.420
Is<00:23:38.200><c> that</c><00:23:38.220><c> right?</c>

00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:41.380
Matthew<00:23:38.819><c> 24,</c><00:23:39.420><c> 38.</c>

00:23:49.859 --> 00:23:51.160
Anything<00:23:50.119><c> wrong</c><00:23:50.319><c> with</c><00:23:50.539><c> eating?</c>

00:23:54.539 --> 00:23:56.339
We<00:23:54.940><c> ate</c><00:23:55.099><c> this</c><00:23:55.319><c> morning.</c>

00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:57.220
Had<00:23:56.839><c> a</c><00:23:57.000><c> drink.</c>

00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:00.259
We've<00:23:57.559><c> never</c><00:23:57.759><c> drunk</c><00:23:57.960><c> so</c><00:23:58.160><c> much</c><00:23:58.319><c> as</c><00:23:58.480><c> this</c><00:23:58.660><c> week</c><00:23:58.819><c> probably.</c>

00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:01.799
Giving<00:24:01.299><c> in</c><00:24:01.539><c> marriage.</c>

00:24:01.859 --> 00:24:02.539
Normal<00:24:02.140><c> marriage.</c>

00:24:02.619 --> 00:24:03.720
Not<00:24:02.799><c> a</c><00:24:02.960><c> problem.</c>

00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:08.279
Could<00:24:05.019><c> be</c><00:24:05.200><c> a</c><00:24:05.339><c> problem</c><00:24:05.480><c> the</c><00:24:05.720><c> way</c><00:24:06.900><c> marriages</c><00:24:07.500><c> occur.</c>

00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:10.140
But<00:24:08.819><c> in</c><00:24:09.019><c> general</c><00:24:09.339><c> people</c><00:24:09.619><c> get</c><00:24:09.819><c> married.</c>

00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:11.740
Not<00:24:10.420><c> a</c><00:24:10.559><c> problem</c><00:24:10.680><c> with</c><00:24:10.839><c> that.</c>

00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:13.740
Where's<00:24:12.700><c> all</c><00:24:12.900><c> the</c><00:24:13.119><c> crime</c><00:24:13.319><c> in</c><00:24:13.500><c> that?</c>

00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:14.819
Where's<00:24:14.200><c> all</c><00:24:14.400><c> the</c><00:24:14.559><c> violence?</c>

00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:16.779
He<00:24:15.039><c> hasn't</c><00:24:15.160><c> mentioned</c><00:24:15.400><c> it.</c>

00:24:17.700 --> 00:24:18.500
Pardon?

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:20.900
Alright.

00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:27.839
So<00:24:25.799><c> when</c><00:24:26.319><c> he</c><00:24:26.599><c> said</c><00:24:26.880><c> this.</c>

00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:29.059
In<00:24:28.200><c> verse</c><00:24:28.460><c> 39.</c>

00:24:29.299 --> 00:24:30.759
And<00:24:29.359><c> knew</c><00:24:29.640><c> not.</c>

00:24:30.779 --> 00:24:32.200
When<00:24:30.900><c> the</c><00:24:31.119><c> flood</c><00:24:31.279><c> came.</c>

00:24:33.980 --> 00:24:35.400
But<00:24:34.119><c> they</c><00:24:34.279><c> did</c><00:24:34.559><c> know.</c>

00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:38.380
How<00:24:37.000><c> do</c><00:24:37.119><c> you</c><00:24:37.119><c> know</c><00:24:37.279><c> they</c><00:24:37.440><c> knew?</c>

00:24:41.299 --> 00:24:43.859
But<00:24:41.619><c> even</c><00:24:41.819><c> before</c><00:24:42.240><c> the</c><00:24:42.460><c> water</c><00:24:42.599><c> came</c><00:24:42.859><c> up.</c>

00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:46.339
Noah,<00:24:44.400><c> how</c><00:24:44.619><c> long</c><00:24:44.839><c> did</c><00:24:44.960><c> he</c><00:24:45.160><c> teach</c><00:24:45.420><c> them?</c>

00:24:47.940 --> 00:24:49.180
Keep<00:24:48.200><c> going.</c>

00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:52.019
Even<00:24:50.640><c> more</c><00:24:50.900><c> if</c><00:24:51.059><c> you</c><00:24:51.160><c> look</c><00:24:51.339><c> at</c><00:24:51.480><c> it.</c>

00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:54.220
When<00:24:52.440><c> God</c><00:24:52.779><c> first</c><00:24:53.180><c> warned</c><00:24:53.539><c> him.</c>

00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:58.339
It<00:24:55.640><c> was</c><00:24:56.079><c> 120</c><00:24:56.920><c> years</c><00:24:57.519><c> before</c><00:24:57.859><c> the</c><00:24:58.099><c> flood.</c>

00:24:58.819 --> 00:25:00.579
Noah<00:24:58.940><c> wasn't</c><00:24:59.220><c> building</c><00:24:59.440><c> the</c><00:24:59.680><c> ark</c><00:24:59.839><c> 120</c><00:25:00.299><c> years.</c>

00:25:00.660 --> 00:25:01.539
As<00:25:00.759><c> we</c><00:25:00.960><c> sometimes</c><00:25:01.339><c> say.</c>

00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:02.660
That's<00:25:01.720><c> not</c><00:25:01.940><c> true.</c>

00:25:02.740 --> 00:25:04.359
I<00:25:02.900><c> doubt</c><00:25:03.039><c> that</c><00:25:03.180><c> he</c><00:25:03.240><c> was</c><00:25:03.319><c> even</c><00:25:03.579><c> married</c><00:25:03.740><c> at</c><00:25:03.900><c> that</c><00:25:04.140><c> stage.</c>

00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:05.900
And<00:25:04.539><c> he</c><00:25:04.619><c> didn't</c><00:25:04.799><c> have</c><00:25:04.920><c> any</c><00:25:05.119><c> sons</c><00:25:05.259><c> at</c><00:25:05.420><c> that</c><00:25:05.619><c> stage.</c>

00:25:05.940 --> 00:25:08.319
Shem<00:25:06.039><c> was</c><00:25:06.200><c> only</c><00:25:06.440><c> 97</c><00:25:06.940><c> when</c><00:25:07.099><c> the</c><00:25:07.319><c> flood</c><00:25:07.460><c> came.</c>

00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:10.759
But<00:25:09.099><c> he</c><00:25:09.240><c> was</c><00:25:09.579><c> told</c><00:25:09.740><c> to</c><00:25:10.079><c> warn</c><00:25:10.339><c> the</c><00:25:10.599><c> people.</c>

00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:12.759
And<00:25:10.940><c> he</c><00:25:11.099><c> preached</c><00:25:11.319><c> to</c><00:25:11.500><c> the</c><00:25:11.700><c> people.</c>

00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:17.000
Who<00:25:16.559><c> died.</c>

00:25:17.380 --> 00:25:20.500
In<00:25:17.539><c> the</c><00:25:17.799><c> year</c><00:25:18.339><c> the</c><00:25:18.640><c> flood</c><00:25:19.160><c> came.</c>

00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:22.599
Methuselah.

00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:24.240
What's<00:25:22.880><c> his</c><00:25:23.079><c> name</c><00:25:23.339><c> mean?</c>

00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:25.819
Excellent.

00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:28.519
When<00:25:26.400><c> he</c><00:25:26.839><c> dyeth</c><00:25:27.460><c> it</c><00:25:27.980><c> shall</c><00:25:28.299><c> come.</c>

00:25:28.660 --> 00:25:30.420
What<00:25:28.819><c> age</c><00:25:29.079><c> was</c><00:25:29.259><c> he?</c>

00:25:32.579 --> 00:25:33.539
969<00:25:33.259><c> years.</c>

00:25:33.700 --> 00:25:34.380
So<00:25:33.839><c> technically.</c>

00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:36.539
And<00:25:34.579><c> this</c><00:25:34.880><c> is</c><00:25:35.039><c> stretching</c><00:25:35.259><c> it</c><00:25:35.460><c> a</c><00:25:35.559><c> little</c><00:25:35.720><c> bit.</c>

00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:38.680
Technically<00:25:36.900><c> they</c><00:25:37.240><c> had</c><00:25:37.579><c> 969.</c>

00:25:39.140 --> 00:25:39.900
Sorry.

00:25:40.420 --> 00:25:42.940
969<00:25:41.099><c> years</c><00:25:41.480><c> of</c><00:25:41.819><c> warning.</c>

00:25:43.579 --> 00:25:44.059
Technically.

00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:48.920
Because<00:25:44.680><c> when</c><00:25:45.259><c> he</c><00:25:45.680><c> dyeth</c><00:25:46.779><c> it</c><00:25:47.539><c> shall</c><00:25:48.140><c> come.</c>

00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:50.839
And<00:25:49.759><c> it</c><00:25:49.960><c> came.</c>

00:25:51.660 --> 00:25:54.220
The<00:25:51.819><c> oldest</c><00:25:52.200><c> man</c><00:25:52.579><c> to</c><00:25:52.839><c> walk</c><00:25:53.039><c> the</c><00:25:53.279><c> earth.</c>

00:25:55.059 --> 00:25:56.420
The<00:25:55.099><c> day,</c><00:25:55.460><c> the</c><00:25:55.619><c> year</c><00:25:55.859><c> he</c><00:25:55.980><c> died.</c>

00:25:56.779 --> 00:25:57.920
The<00:25:56.839><c> flood</c><00:25:57.019><c> came.</c>

00:25:58.299 --> 00:25:59.119
They<00:25:58.619><c> knew</c><00:25:58.859><c> not.</c>

00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:01.960
They<00:25:59.519><c> did</c><00:25:59.859><c> know.</c><00:26:00.299><c> Noah</c><00:26:00.460><c> went</c><00:26:00.660><c> out</c><00:26:00.799><c> and</c><00:26:00.859><c> he</c><00:26:01.119><c> preached.</c>

00:26:03.140 --> 00:26:04.859
He's<00:26:03.440><c> called</c><00:26:03.559><c> a</c><00:26:03.779><c> preacher</c><00:26:04.140><c> of</c><00:26:04.440><c> righteousness.</c>

00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:06.259
In<00:26:05.099><c> the</c><00:26:05.220><c> New</c><00:26:05.380><c> Testament.</c>

00:26:06.420 --> 00:26:07.059
He<00:26:06.660><c> prepared.</c>

00:26:07.099 --> 00:26:08.220
He<00:26:07.160><c> got</c><00:26:07.299><c> his</c><00:26:07.519><c> sons</c><00:26:07.740><c> together.</c>

00:26:08.420 --> 00:26:11.099
And<00:26:08.559><c> I</c><00:26:08.680><c> believe</c><00:26:08.940><c> probably</c><00:26:09.220><c> the</c><00:26:09.420><c> whole</c><00:26:09.599><c> Ecclesia</c><00:26:10.000><c> started</c><00:26:10.359><c> building</c><00:26:10.660><c> that</c><00:26:11.019><c> ark</c>

00:26:11.099 --> 00:26:11.660
at<00:26:11.319><c> the</c><00:26:11.380><c> beginning.</c>

00:26:12.019 --> 00:26:14.740
It<00:26:12.220><c> went</c><00:26:12.339><c> on</c><00:26:12.579><c> for</c><00:26:12.839><c> year</c><00:26:13.279><c> after</c><00:26:13.599><c> year</c><00:26:14.039><c> after</c><00:26:14.420><c> year.</c>

00:26:14.740 --> 00:26:16.579
This<00:26:15.180><c> massive</c><00:26:15.819><c> ark.</c>

00:26:18.059 --> 00:26:22.420
You<00:26:18.579><c> know</c><00:26:19.099><c> the</c><00:26:19.200><c> length</c><00:26:19.480><c> of</c><00:26:19.700><c> that</c><00:26:19.940><c> athletic</c><00:26:20.380><c> field</c><00:26:20.680><c> out</c><00:26:20.980><c> there.</c>

00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:24.559
Would<00:26:22.619><c> sit</c><00:26:22.779><c> in</c><00:26:22.960><c> that</c><00:26:23.240><c> athletic</c><00:26:23.640><c> field.</c>

00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:25.960
A<00:26:25.160><c> massive</c><00:26:25.599><c> thing.</c>

00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:28.299
And<00:26:26.599><c> after</c><00:26:26.799><c> a</c><00:26:26.920><c> while</c><00:26:27.019><c> they</c><00:26:27.259><c> started</c><00:26:27.599><c> to</c><00:26:27.859><c> mock</c><00:26:28.079><c> him.</c>

00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:28.680
And<00:26:28.400><c> laugh.</c>

00:26:28.779 --> 00:26:30.740
Oh<00:26:28.940><c> no</c><00:26:29.440><c> they're</c><00:26:29.880><c> out</c><00:26:29.940><c> there</c><00:26:30.220><c> again.</c>

00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:31.859
Building<00:26:31.420><c> away.</c>

00:26:32.180 --> 00:26:33.019
Look.

00:26:33.900 --> 00:26:35.380
They<00:26:34.180><c> dropped</c><00:26:34.440><c> away.</c>

00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:39.599
And<00:26:37.619><c> then</c><00:26:37.740><c> you</c><00:26:37.779><c> can</c><00:26:37.940><c> imagine</c><00:26:38.299><c> when</c><00:26:38.500><c> all</c><00:26:38.740><c> the</c><00:26:38.900><c> animals</c><00:26:39.160><c> came.</c>

00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:41.839
Under<00:26:39.839><c> the</c><00:26:40.420><c> hand</c><00:26:40.640><c> of</c><00:26:40.839><c> the</c><00:26:41.039><c> angels.</c>

00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:43.299
Two<00:26:42.619><c> by</c><00:26:42.940><c> two.</c>

00:26:43.460 --> 00:26:44.160
Up<00:26:43.660><c> the</c><00:26:43.920><c> ramp.</c>

00:26:44.460 --> 00:26:46.140
No<00:26:44.700><c> I</c><00:26:44.759><c> didn't</c><00:26:44.960><c> go</c><00:26:45.140><c> and</c><00:26:45.259><c> get</c><00:26:45.380><c> them.</c>

00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:47.960
The<00:26:46.960><c> people</c><00:26:47.279><c> would</c><00:26:47.460><c> have</c><00:26:47.579><c> been</c><00:26:47.759><c> looking.</c>

00:26:48.059 --> 00:26:49.779
Oh<00:26:48.240><c> look</c><00:26:48.799><c> at</c><00:26:48.980><c> this.</c>

00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:52.539
And<00:26:50.940><c> they</c><00:26:51.039><c> went</c><00:26:51.240><c> in.</c>

00:26:54.059 --> 00:26:55.279
And<00:26:54.200><c> then</c><00:26:54.279><c> we're</c><00:26:54.480><c> told.</c>

00:26:56.619 --> 00:26:59.440
That<00:26:56.859><c> God</c><00:26:57.240><c> shut</c><00:26:57.839><c> the</c><00:26:58.200><c> door.</c>

00:27:01.099 --> 00:27:01.579
Not<00:27:01.279><c> Noah.</c>

00:27:01.819 --> 00:27:02.960
God<00:27:02.140><c> shut</c><00:27:02.380><c> it.</c>

00:27:03.420 --> 00:27:04.460
Slam.

00:27:05.980 --> 00:27:08.779
Maybe<00:27:06.460><c> the</c><00:27:06.740><c> people</c><00:27:07.019><c> would</c><00:27:07.380><c> start</c><00:27:07.660><c> to</c><00:27:07.920><c> wonder.</c>

00:27:09.180 --> 00:27:11.200
And<00:27:09.460><c> down</c><00:27:09.759><c> came</c><00:27:10.079><c> the</c><00:27:10.319><c> drops.</c>

00:27:12.339 --> 00:27:14.559
And<00:27:12.539><c> the</c><00:27:12.619><c> skies</c><00:27:13.019><c> darkened</c><00:27:13.579><c> and</c><00:27:13.680><c> the</c><00:27:13.880><c> lightning</c><00:27:14.180><c> came.</c>

00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:17.119
And<00:27:14.680><c> it</c><00:27:14.759><c> rained</c><00:27:15.220><c> and</c><00:27:15.359><c> it</c><00:27:15.619><c> rained</c><00:27:15.819><c> and</c><00:27:15.940><c> it</c><00:27:16.200><c> rained</c><00:27:16.380><c> and</c><00:27:16.480><c> it</c><00:27:16.819><c> rained.</c>

00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:18.880
And<00:27:17.559><c> they</c><00:27:17.660><c> would</c><00:27:17.740><c> have</c><00:27:17.799><c> been</c><00:27:18.019><c> hammering</c><00:27:18.299><c> on</c><00:27:18.519><c> that</c><00:27:18.720><c> ark.</c>

00:27:18.940 --> 00:27:20.279
Trying<00:27:19.140><c> to</c><00:27:19.259><c> get</c><00:27:19.380><c> in.</c><00:27:19.619><c> No</c><00:27:19.779><c> let</c><00:27:19.980><c> us</c><00:27:20.140><c> in.</c>

00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:21.819
And<00:27:20.480><c> holding</c><00:27:20.640><c> up</c><00:27:20.859><c> little</c><00:27:21.099><c> babies</c><00:27:21.380><c> and</c><00:27:21.660><c> so</c><00:27:21.759><c> on.</c>

00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:23.759
And<00:27:21.920><c> God</c><00:27:22.059><c> destroyed</c><00:27:22.579><c> the</c><00:27:22.819><c> earth.</c>

00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:28.519
It<00:27:26.839><c> was</c><00:27:27.160><c> too</c><00:27:27.480><c> late.</c>

00:27:30.099 --> 00:27:31.380
They<00:27:30.279><c> knew</c><00:27:30.519><c> not.</c>

00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:33.059
They<00:27:31.700><c> weren't</c><00:27:32.099><c> ready</c><00:27:32.460><c> for</c><00:27:32.720><c> it.</c>

00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:34.440
They<00:27:33.579><c> knew</c><00:27:33.740><c> it</c><00:27:33.900><c> was</c><00:27:34.059><c> going</c><00:27:34.180><c> to</c><00:27:34.339><c> happen.</c>

00:27:34.660 --> 00:27:35.819
We<00:27:34.920><c> know</c><00:27:35.140><c> Christ</c><00:27:35.460><c> is</c><00:27:35.660><c> coming.</c>

00:27:35.859 --> 00:27:38.099
But<00:27:36.039><c> are</c><00:27:36.339><c> we</c><00:27:36.559><c> ready</c><00:27:36.839><c> for</c><00:27:37.119><c> it?</c>

00:27:39.259 --> 00:27:41.059
What<00:27:39.619><c> if</c><00:27:39.720><c> he</c><00:27:39.900><c> comes</c><00:27:40.339><c> tonight?</c>

Who's<00:27:46.279><c> baptised?</c>

00:27:46.980 --> 00:27:48.279
Are<00:27:47.059><c> you</c><00:27:47.220><c> ready?</c>

00:27:56.500 --> 00:27:59.000
What<00:27:56.759><c> if</c><00:27:56.900><c> you</c><00:27:57.119><c> stand</c><00:27:57.420><c> before</c><00:27:57.839><c> Christ?</c>

00:27:59.779 --> 00:28:02.140
And<00:27:59.920><c> Christ</c><00:28:00.240><c> said</c><00:28:00.519><c> to</c><00:28:00.779><c> you.</c>

Yes.

Did<00:28:08.279><c> you</c><00:28:08.440><c> believe</c><00:28:08.680><c> the</c><00:28:08.940><c> signs</c><00:28:09.259><c> around</c><00:28:09.619><c> you?</c>

Yes.

00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:16.900
Did<00:28:14.440><c> you</c><00:28:14.619><c> believe</c><00:28:14.960><c> that</c><00:28:15.220><c> Russia</c><00:28:15.640><c> was</c><00:28:15.880><c> going</c><00:28:16.079><c> to</c><00:28:16.220><c> be</c><00:28:16.400><c> the</c><00:28:16.559><c> power</c>

00:28:28.380 --> 00:28:29.279
Yes.

00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:32.000
Why<00:28:30.539><c> aren't</c><00:28:30.579><c> you</c><00:28:30.759><c> baptised?</c>

00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:01.819
Remember<00:30:00.240><c> when</c><00:30:00.759><c> millions</c><00:30:01.359><c> of</c><00:30:01.680><c> Arabs</c>

00:30:05.819 --> 00:30:07.900
I<00:30:06.359><c> remember</c><00:30:06.680><c> taking</c><00:30:07.019><c> a</c><00:30:07.160><c> teacher</c><00:30:07.420><c> to</c><00:30:07.619><c> school</c>

00:30:09.740 --> 00:30:10.660
six<00:30:10.000><c> day</c><00:30:10.279><c> war</c>

00:30:10.660 --> 00:30:13.980
and<00:30:11.339><c> he</c><00:30:11.480><c> said</c><00:30:11.599><c> the</c><00:30:11.880><c> Israelis</c><00:30:12.240><c> haven't</c><00:30:12.579><c> got</c><00:30:12.880><c> a</c><00:30:13.059><c> hope.</c>

00:30:14.819 --> 00:30:16.339
I<00:30:14.859><c> mean</c><00:30:14.920><c> you</c><00:30:15.059><c> just</c><00:30:15.240><c> could</c><00:30:15.519><c> not</c><00:30:15.880><c> match</c>

00:30:16.339 --> 00:30:18.299
the<00:30:16.839><c> massive</c><00:30:17.339><c> Arab</c><00:30:18.039><c> might</c>

00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:23.500
But<00:30:22.339><c> scripture</c><00:30:22.619><c> says</c><00:30:22.920><c> that</c><00:30:23.140><c> Israel</c>

00:30:23.500 --> 00:30:24.660
will<00:30:23.720><c> be</c><00:30:23.880><c> in</c><00:30:23.980><c> that</c><00:30:24.160><c> land.</c>

00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:27.279
And<00:30:25.200><c> in</c><00:30:25.339><c> six</c><00:30:25.539><c> days</c><00:30:25.759><c> it</c><00:30:25.859><c> was</c><00:30:26.000><c> all</c><00:30:26.240><c> over.</c>

00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:30.559
And<00:30:29.500><c> around</c><00:30:29.740><c> that</c><00:30:30.119><c> time</c>

00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:32.960
we<00:30:31.180><c> went</c><00:30:31.420><c> to</c><00:30:31.660><c> bed</c><00:30:31.960><c> each</c><00:30:32.400><c> night</c><00:30:32.660><c> thinking</c>

00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:34.019
this<00:30:33.240><c> was</c><00:30:33.480><c> it.</c>

00:30:34.339 --> 00:30:35.980
That<00:30:34.480><c> we</c><00:30:34.680><c> wouldn't</c><00:30:34.980><c> be</c><00:30:35.259><c> here</c><00:30:35.440><c> next</c><00:30:35.700><c> morning.</c>

00:30:36.059 --> 00:30:37.720
But<00:30:36.200><c> that's</c><00:30:36.339><c> not</c><00:30:36.440><c> when</c><00:30:36.559><c> Christ</c><00:30:36.859><c> will</c><00:30:37.039><c> come.</c>

00:30:38.220 --> 00:30:39.980
We<00:30:38.519><c> thought</c><00:30:38.759><c> he</c><00:30:39.000><c> would</c><00:30:39.220><c> because</c>

00:30:39.980 --> 00:30:41.940
everything<00:30:40.380><c> was</c><00:30:40.660><c> so</c><00:30:40.980><c> exciting.</c>

00:30:42.019 --> 00:30:43.380
We<00:30:42.079><c> thought</c><00:30:42.279><c> this</c><00:30:42.539><c> is</c><00:30:42.740><c> it.</c>

00:30:43.460 --> 00:30:45.259
The<00:30:43.799><c> whole</c><00:30:44.059><c> thing's</c><00:30:44.380><c> all</c><00:30:44.559><c> come</c><00:30:44.720><c> to</c><00:30:44.940><c> pass.</c>

00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:48.400
But<00:30:45.799><c> he</c><00:30:45.859><c> doesn't</c><00:30:46.019><c> say</c><00:30:46.259><c> that</c><00:30:46.460><c> when</c><00:30:46.740><c> you're</c><00:30:47.039><c> not</c><00:30:47.319><c> thinking</c><00:30:47.640><c> about</c><00:30:47.980><c> it.</c>

00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:50.039
When<00:30:48.680><c> you</c><00:30:48.920><c> least</c><00:30:49.259><c> expect</c><00:30:49.779><c> it.</c>

00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:51.240
Like<00:30:50.380><c> a</c><00:30:50.619><c> thief</c><00:30:50.740><c> in</c><00:30:50.920><c> the</c><00:30:51.059><c> night.</c>

00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:52.279
That's<00:30:51.700><c> when</c><00:30:51.779><c> I'll</c><00:30:52.019><c> come.</c>

00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:55.779
When<00:30:52.940><c> everything</c><00:30:53.200><c> quietens</c><00:30:53.720><c> down</c><00:30:54.059><c> like</c><00:30:54.500><c> it</c><00:30:54.660><c> is</c><00:30:54.819><c> now.</c>

00:30:57.140 --> 00:30:59.019
No<00:30:57.339><c> golf</c><00:30:57.619><c> war</c><00:30:57.839><c> at</c><00:30:58.000><c> the</c><00:30:58.140><c> moment.</c>

00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:02.759
No<00:31:00.519><c> big</c><00:31:01.099><c> explosions</c><00:31:01.819><c> or</c>

00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:04.119

00:31:05.980 --> 00:31:07.579
At<00:31:05.980><c> the</c><00:31:06.119><c> moment</c><00:31:06.259><c> everything's</c><00:31:06.759><c> fairly</c><00:31:07.039><c> quiet.</c>

00:31:07.779 --> 00:31:09.180
It's<00:31:08.000><c> reasonably</c><00:31:08.339><c> peaceful.</c>

00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:12.740
That's<00:31:11.440><c> when</c><00:31:11.519><c> Christ</c><00:31:11.819><c> will</c><00:31:12.000><c> come.</c>

00:31:14.859 --> 00:31:16.220
Pretty<00:31:15.539><c> sobering.</c>

00:31:16.380 --> 00:31:17.079

00:38:53.619 --> 00:38:57.019
we've<00:38:54.000><c> mentioned</c><00:38:54.219><c> this</c><00:38:54.440><c> before,</c><00:38:55.159><c> I've</c><00:38:55.460><c> jotted</c><00:38:55.639><c> it</c><00:38:55.860><c> in</c>

00:38:57.199 --> 00:38:58.920
because<00:38:57.800><c> we'll</c><00:38:58.059><c> come</c><00:38:58.239><c> to</c><00:38:58.360><c> the</c><00:38:58.519><c> earthquake</c>

00:39:02.059 --> 00:39:03.800

that<00:39:04.400><c> destroyed</c><00:39:04.860><c> most</c><00:39:05.139><c> of</c><00:39:05.320><c> these</c><00:39:05.460><c> cities</c>

00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:10.559
some<00:39:07.400><c> were</c><00:39:07.659><c> rebuilt,</c><00:39:07.920><c> some</c><00:39:08.260><c> weren't</c>

00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:11.699
nearby

00:39:11.699 --> 00:39:14.239
a<00:39:12.480><c> lot</c><00:39:12.679><c> of</c><00:39:12.800><c> their</c><00:39:12.980><c> wealth</c><00:39:13.159><c> came</c><00:39:13.480><c> from</c><00:39:13.719><c> the</c><00:39:13.960><c> gold</c>

00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:18.199
there's<00:39:17.000><c> silver</c><00:39:17.219><c> and</c><00:39:17.300><c> gold</c>

00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:20.739

00:39:21.699 --> 00:39:24.360
so<00:39:22.159><c> the</c><00:39:22.360><c> area</c><00:39:22.639><c> was</c><00:39:22.880><c> known</c><00:39:23.119><c> for</c><00:39:23.340><c> its</c><00:39:23.599><c> gold</c>

which<00:39:26.199><c> is</c><00:39:26.420><c> an</c><00:39:26.579><c> interesting</c><00:39:26.980><c> aspect</c>

00:39:27.699 --> 00:39:30.260
what's<00:39:28.440><c> the</c><00:39:28.719><c> gold</c><00:39:29.019><c> the</c><00:39:29.280><c> symbol</c><00:39:29.500><c> of?</c>

00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:32.099
in<00:39:31.039><c> scripture</c>

00:39:32.219 --> 00:39:33.239
tried

00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:35.659
faith

00:39:35.619 --> 00:39:38.519
gold<00:39:35.880><c> is</c><00:39:36.099><c> a</c><00:39:36.239><c> symbol</c><00:39:36.400><c> of</c><00:39:36.639><c> a</c><00:39:36.760><c> tried</c><00:39:36.980><c> faith</c>

00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:43.900
so<00:39:43.559><c> that's</c>

00:39:43.900 --> 00:39:45.699
just<00:39:44.260><c> a</c><00:39:44.380><c> bit</c><00:39:44.460><c> less</c><00:39:44.699><c> than</c><00:39:44.840><c> a</c><00:39:44.960><c> mile</c><00:39:45.139><c> high</c>

00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:50.219
the<00:39:48.659><c> south</c><00:39:49.239><c> side</c><00:39:49.619><c> of</c><00:39:49.780><c> that</c>

00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:54.079

00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:57.420
that's<00:39:54.380><c> where</c><00:39:54.619><c> Christ</c><00:39:54.920><c> got</c><00:39:55.300><c> the</c><00:39:56.159><c> term</c><00:39:56.519><c> from</c>

00:39:57.699 --> 00:39:59.380
there's<00:39:58.179><c> a</c><00:39:58.360><c> great</c><00:39:58.539><c> clothing</c><00:39:59.000><c> center</c>
