from<00:17:54.759><c> that</c><00:17:55.500><c> family</c><00:17:56.019><c> of</c><00:17:56.180><c> the</c><00:17:56.359><c> children</c><00:17:56.579><c> of</c><00:17:56.900><c> Tamma,</c>

the<00:18:02.380><c> government.</c>

00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:04.859
So<00:18:03.359><c> I</c><00:18:03.500><c> thought,</c><00:18:03.759><c> that's</c><00:18:04.200><c> really</c><00:18:04.460><c> fascinating.</c>

00:18:04.900 --> 00:18:08.339
Here<00:18:05.079><c> we</c><00:18:05.259><c> are</c><00:18:05.500><c> studying</c><00:18:05.900><c> Nehemiah,</c><00:18:07.500><c> and</c><00:18:07.680><c> that</c><00:18:07.819><c> little</c><00:18:08.099><c> seal's</c>

00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:14.859
And<00:18:12.680><c> they</c><00:18:12.900><c> find</c><00:18:13.099><c> it</c><00:18:13.500><c> a</c><00:18:13.700><c> couple</c><00:18:13.839><c> weeks</c><00:18:14.099><c> before</c><00:18:14.440><c> we're</c><00:18:14.640><c> meeting</c>

00:18:15.900 --> 00:18:18.779
Now,<00:18:16.039><c> I</c><00:18:16.940><c> really</c><00:18:17.140><c> take</c><00:18:17.440><c> a</c><00:18:17.619><c> lot</c><00:18:17.779><c> of</c><00:18:17.940><c> note</c><00:18:18.059><c> of</c><00:18:18.200><c> that,</c><00:18:18.440><c> like</c><00:18:18.599><c> other</c>

00:18:19.220 --> 00:18:22.140
Well,<00:18:19.539><c> you</c><00:18:19.579><c> know,</c><00:18:19.720><c> it's</c><00:18:19.839><c> just</c><00:18:20.400><c> circumstances,</c><00:18:21.339><c> but,</c><00:18:21.700><c> you</c><00:18:21.799><c> know,</c><00:18:21.839><c> that</c><00:18:21.960><c> was</c>

00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:29.400

00:18:38.700 --> 00:18:41.779
That's<00:18:39.180><c> His</c><00:18:39.440><c> city.</c><00:18:39.940><c> That's</c><00:18:40.279><c> the</c><00:18:40.500><c> only</c><00:18:40.920><c> city</c><00:18:41.220><c> of</c><00:18:41.420><c> the</c><00:18:41.579><c> world</c>

That's<00:18:44.220><c> where</c><00:18:44.339><c> He</c><00:18:44.539><c> will</c><00:18:44.759><c> dwell.</c>

00:18:45.819 --> 00:18:48.539

You<00:18:50.680><c> go</c><00:18:50.940><c> there</c><00:18:51.200><c> and</c><00:18:51.339><c> you</c><00:18:51.519><c> walk</c><00:18:51.700><c> around</c><00:18:51.980><c> the</c><00:18:52.200><c> place</c><00:18:52.400><c> and</c><00:18:52.559><c> you</c><00:18:52.619><c> have</c><00:18:52.779><c> to</c>

00:18:55.059 --> 00:18:56.960
It's<00:18:55.200><c> going</c><00:18:55.259><c> to</c><00:18:55.299><c> be</c><00:18:55.400><c> an</c><00:18:55.519><c> earthquake.</c><00:18:55.960><c> It's</c><00:18:56.240><c> going</c><00:18:56.339><c> to</c><00:18:56.579><c> change</c>

that<00:18:57.279><c> city</c><00:18:57.539><c> so</c><00:18:57.920><c> much.</c>

00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:00.680
Don't<00:18:58.480><c> expect</c><00:18:59.079><c> to</c><00:18:59.299><c> see</c><00:18:59.480><c> those</c><00:18:59.759><c> walls.</c>

00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:04.900
Like,<00:19:02.380><c> you</c><00:19:02.680><c> can</c><00:19:02.880><c> look</c><00:19:03.160><c> down</c><00:19:03.440><c> on</c><00:19:03.619><c> the</c><00:19:03.759><c> city</c><00:19:03.900><c> of</c><00:19:04.079><c> Jerusalem</c><00:19:04.460><c> from</c>

00:19:05.900 --> 00:19:08.460
but<00:19:06.119><c> the</c><00:19:06.420><c> Bible</c><00:19:06.819><c> gives</c><00:19:07.240><c> you</c><00:19:07.480><c> the</c><00:19:07.619><c> idea</c><00:19:07.859><c> that</c><00:19:08.059><c> it's</c><00:19:08.240><c> going</c><00:19:08.339><c> to</c>

00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:14.140
So<00:19:11.319><c> with</c><00:19:11.539><c> an</c><00:19:11.720><c> earthquake</c><00:19:12.039><c> coming</c><00:19:12.380><c> through</c><00:19:13.000><c> the</c><00:19:13.240><c> Mount</c><00:19:13.380><c> of</c><00:19:13.660><c> Olives</c><00:19:13.900><c> to</c>

that<00:19:14.400><c> place,</c>

00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:17.400
I<00:19:15.279><c> can't</c><00:19:15.519><c> imagine</c><00:19:15.859><c> too</c><00:19:16.140><c> much</c><00:19:16.380><c> of</c><00:19:16.519><c> that's</c><00:19:16.819><c> going</c><00:19:16.900><c> to</c><00:19:17.000><c> be</c><00:19:17.180><c> left.</c>

00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:19.759
And<00:19:17.559><c> Jesus</c><00:19:18.000><c> did</c><00:19:18.240><c> say</c><00:19:18.440><c> there</c><00:19:18.559><c> wouldn't</c><00:19:18.759><c> be</c><00:19:19.000><c> one</c><00:19:19.259><c> stone</c><00:19:19.480><c> left</c>

00:19:21.339 --> 00:19:24.339
Some<00:19:21.599><c> might</c><00:19:21.880><c> dispute</c><00:19:22.299><c> that</c><00:19:22.559><c> that's</c><00:19:23.619><c> already</c><00:19:23.960><c> happened,</c>

00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:28.440

00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:34.119
must<00:19:31.839><c> have</c><00:19:31.980><c> been</c><00:19:32.079><c> in</c><00:19:32.339><c> Solomon's</c><00:19:32.859><c> time,</c><00:19:33.220><c> that</c><00:19:33.299><c> were</c><00:19:33.440><c> put</c><00:19:33.640><c> there</c>

00:19:36.059 --> 00:19:38.500
So<00:19:36.400><c> I</c><00:19:36.859><c> would</c><00:19:37.039><c> think</c><00:19:37.160><c> there's</c><00:19:37.400><c> going</c><00:19:37.460><c> to</c><00:19:37.539><c> be</c><00:19:37.660><c> a</c><00:19:37.720><c> lot</c><00:19:38.019><c> happen</c><00:19:38.279><c> there,</c>

00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:43.480

00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:49.420
Now,<00:19:46.960><c> I</c><00:19:47.160><c> want</c><00:19:47.359><c> to</c><00:19:47.460><c> look</c><00:19:47.720><c> in</c><00:19:47.940><c> Nehemiah</c><00:19:48.380><c> chapter</c><00:19:48.799><c> 2</c><00:19:48.980><c> to</c><00:19:49.240><c> start</c>

That's<00:19:56.079><c> quite</c><00:19:56.279><c> a</c><00:19:56.480><c> chapter</c><00:19:56.880><c> of</c><00:19:57.160><c> reading</c><00:19:57.420><c> about</c><00:19:57.759><c> the</c><00:19:58.319><c> adversaries</c>

00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:44.900
how<00:20:41.720><c> Jerusalem</c><00:20:42.279><c> lieth</c><00:20:42.660><c> waste,</c><00:20:43.619><c> and</c><00:20:43.819><c> the</c><00:20:44.019><c> gates</c><00:20:44.259><c> thereof</c><00:20:44.640><c> are</c>

00:20:46.099 --> 00:20:49.400
Come,<00:20:47.079><c> let</c><00:20:47.319><c> us</c><00:20:47.559><c> build</c><00:20:47.779><c> up</c><00:20:48.000><c> the</c><00:20:48.220><c> wall</c><00:20:48.380><c> of</c><00:20:48.619><c> Jerusalem</c><00:20:48.920><c> that</c><00:20:49.160><c> we</c>

00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.220
Then<00:20:52.079><c> I</c><00:20:52.319><c> told</c><00:20:52.559><c> them</c><00:20:52.740><c> of</c><00:20:52.920><c> the</c><00:20:53.119><c> hand</c><00:20:53.319><c> of</c><00:20:53.539><c> my</c><00:20:53.799><c> God,</c><00:20:54.079><c> which</c><00:20:54.200><c> was</c><00:20:54.460><c> good</c><00:20:54.619><c> upon</c><00:20:54.900><c> me,</c>

00:21:10.579 --> 00:21:14.859
If<00:21:11.019><c> you've</c><00:21:11.220><c> done</c><00:21:11.400><c> any</c><00:21:11.660><c> air</c><00:21:11.980><c> travel,</c><00:21:13.960><c> or</c><00:21:14.220><c> you've</c><00:21:14.440><c> even</c><00:21:14.660><c> thought</c>

00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:19.099

00:21:27.940 --> 00:21:30.740
Now,<00:21:28.079><c> if</c><00:21:28.180><c> you</c><00:21:28.259><c> think</c><00:21:28.440><c> about</c><00:21:28.720><c> that,</c><00:21:29.119><c> there's</c><00:21:29.460><c> a</c><00:21:29.619><c> lot</c><00:21:29.759><c> of</c><00:21:30.019><c> situations</c><00:21:30.539><c> in</c>

00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:41.940

00:22:18.180 --> 00:22:23.059

00:22:23.059 --> 00:22:24.380
that<00:22:23.259><c> you</c><00:22:23.380><c> never</c><00:22:23.660><c> forget</c><00:22:23.980><c> that.</c>

00:22:24.740 --> 00:22:27.519
There's<00:22:25.039><c> a</c><00:22:25.359><c> point</c><00:22:25.579><c> in</c><00:22:25.859><c> which</c><00:22:26.140><c> there</c><00:22:26.420><c> is</c><00:22:26.720><c> no</c><00:22:27.059><c> return.</c>

00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:30.880
You<00:22:27.859><c> can't</c><00:22:28.259><c> come</c><00:22:28.559><c> back.</c><00:22:28.799><c> You've</c><00:22:29.079><c> done</c><00:22:29.220><c> this.</c><00:22:29.599><c> You're</c><00:22:29.819><c> committed</c><00:22:30.140><c> to</c><00:22:30.380><c> it.</c>

00:22:31.059 --> 00:22:33.779
And<00:22:31.259><c> I</c><00:22:31.359><c> think</c><00:22:31.539><c> that's</c><00:22:31.799><c> when</c><00:22:31.940><c> you</c><00:22:32.180><c> say</c><00:22:32.319><c> you</c><00:22:32.519><c> have</c><00:22:32.759><c> faith.</c>

00:22:34.579 --> 00:22:39.720
When<00:22:34.779><c> you</c><00:22:34.980><c> say</c><00:22:35.160><c> you</c><00:22:35.380><c> have</c><00:22:35.740><c> faith,</c><00:22:36.619><c> and</c><00:22:36.839><c> you've</c><00:22:37.240><c> started</c><00:22:37.460><c> on</c><00:22:37.859><c> the</c><00:22:38.140><c> course</c><00:22:38.440><c> of</c><00:22:38.839><c> discipleship,</c>

00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:43.900
or<00:22:40.240><c> you've</c><00:22:40.599><c> started</c><00:22:40.740><c> into</c><00:22:41.099><c> something</c><00:22:41.420><c> where</c><00:22:41.720><c> you</c><00:22:42.099><c> feel</c><00:22:42.480><c> in</c><00:22:42.680><c> your</c><00:22:42.980><c> mind</c><00:22:43.220><c> God</c><00:22:43.539><c> is</c>

00:22:43.900 --> 00:22:44.619
behind<00:22:44.259><c> you,</c>

00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:46.859
how<00:22:45.000><c> can</c><00:22:45.140><c> you</c><00:22:45.319><c> back</c><00:22:45.559><c> up?</c>

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:50.640
You'd<00:22:48.720><c> have</c><00:22:48.859><c> to</c><00:22:49.059><c> deny</c><00:22:49.319><c> that</c><00:22:49.539><c> God</c><00:22:49.700><c> ever</c><00:22:49.980><c> was</c><00:22:50.160><c> behind</c><00:22:50.480><c> you.</c>

00:22:50.660 --> 00:22:52.960
Like,<00:22:50.819><c> you'd</c><00:22:50.980><c> have</c><00:22:51.039><c> to</c><00:22:51.200><c> say,</c><00:22:51.500><c> well,</c><00:22:51.539><c> I</c><00:22:51.660><c> was</c><00:22:51.859><c> wrong.</c>

00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:57.619
And<00:22:54.220><c> that's</c><00:22:54.660><c> commitment,</c><00:22:55.140><c> and</c><00:22:55.279><c> the</c><00:22:55.559><c> commitment</c><00:22:55.819><c> has</c><00:22:56.160><c> to</c><00:22:56.339><c> be</c><00:22:56.680><c> felt.</c>

00:22:58.460 --> 00:23:02.519
So<00:22:58.619><c> if</c><00:22:58.740><c> you</c><00:22:58.960><c> think</c><00:22:59.180><c> of</c><00:22:59.759><c> faith</c><00:23:00.160><c> as</c><00:23:00.799><c> a</c><00:23:01.240><c> stairway,</c><00:23:01.859><c> it's</c><00:23:02.220><c> probably</c>

00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:03.579
the<00:23:02.740><c> best</c><00:23:02.960><c> way</c><00:23:03.119><c> to</c><00:23:03.299><c> think</c><00:23:03.440><c> of</c><00:23:03.519><c> it.</c>

00:23:03.579 --> 00:23:06.599
At<00:23:03.660><c> least</c><00:23:03.799><c> it's</c><00:23:04.380><c> been</c><00:23:04.579><c> very</c><00:23:04.920><c> helpful</c><00:23:05.200><c> to</c><00:23:05.420><c> me</c><00:23:05.579><c> to</c><00:23:05.700><c> think</c><00:23:05.880><c> of</c><00:23:06.079><c> faith</c><00:23:06.339><c> as</c>

00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:07.940
a<00:23:06.839><c> stairway.</c>

00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:11.319
You<00:23:08.400><c> don't</c><00:23:08.640><c> even</c><00:23:08.960><c> get</c><00:23:09.119><c> on</c><00:23:09.380><c> the</c><00:23:09.619><c> first</c><00:23:09.920><c> step</c><00:23:10.220><c> until</c><00:23:10.579><c> you've</c><00:23:11.119><c> in</c>

00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:12.960
some<00:23:11.640><c> sense</c><00:23:11.880><c> in</c><00:23:12.000><c> your</c><00:23:12.200><c> own</c><00:23:12.460><c> mind</c><00:23:12.700><c> said,</c>

00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:15.359
well,<00:23:13.259><c> I</c><00:23:13.819><c> do</c><00:23:14.180><c> think</c><00:23:14.460><c> I</c><00:23:14.640><c> have</c><00:23:14.819><c> faith.</c>

00:23:15.859 --> 00:23:18.480
And<00:23:16.059><c> I</c><00:23:16.160><c> really</c><00:23:16.420><c> do</c><00:23:16.680><c> think</c><00:23:16.940><c> that</c><00:23:17.140><c> God</c><00:23:17.460><c> was</c><00:23:17.720><c> working</c><00:23:18.019><c> with</c><00:23:18.259><c> me</c><00:23:18.420><c> in</c>

00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:18.880
that<00:23:18.660><c> event.</c>

00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.180
I<00:23:19.059><c> do</c><00:23:19.400><c> think</c><00:23:19.599><c> that</c><00:23:19.759><c> when</c><00:23:19.880><c> I</c><00:23:20.000><c> was</c><00:23:20.220><c> baptized</c><00:23:20.779><c> that</c><00:23:21.700><c> the</c><00:23:21.920><c> angels</c>

00:23:22.180 --> 00:23:24.079
did<00:23:22.400><c> rejoice</c><00:23:22.859><c> and</c><00:23:23.039><c> God</c><00:23:23.240><c> was</c><00:23:23.480><c> happy</c><00:23:23.799><c> with</c><00:23:23.920><c> it.</c>

00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:27.500
Like,<00:23:24.420><c> that's</c><00:23:24.759><c> the</c><00:23:25.059><c> first</c><00:23:25.359><c> level</c><00:23:25.640><c> you</c><00:23:26.039><c> usually</c><00:23:26.420><c> get</c><00:23:26.720><c> to.</c>

00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:30.359
Well,<00:23:28.759><c> then</c><00:23:28.900><c> why</c><00:23:29.059><c> wouldn't</c><00:23:29.319><c> you</c><00:23:29.539><c> think</c><00:23:29.700><c> that</c><00:23:29.900><c> God</c><00:23:30.039><c> would</c><00:23:30.200><c> be</c>

00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:31.900
with<00:23:30.519><c> you</c><00:23:30.680><c> in</c><00:23:30.799><c> the</c><00:23:30.900><c> next</c><00:23:31.119><c> step?</c>

00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:36.640
Why<00:23:33.240><c> wouldn't</c><00:23:33.640><c> the</c><00:23:33.960><c> logic</c><00:23:34.359><c> of</c><00:23:34.579><c> that</c><00:23:34.819><c> idea</c><00:23:35.220><c> in</c><00:23:35.420><c> your</c><00:23:35.740><c> mind</c><00:23:36.019><c> drive</c><00:23:36.380><c> you</c>

00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:37.619
to<00:23:36.880><c> step</c><00:23:37.160><c> two?</c>

00:23:37.980 --> 00:23:40.319
So<00:23:38.180><c> you're</c><00:23:38.359><c> facing</c><00:23:38.680><c> another</c><00:23:39.000><c> set</c><00:23:39.200><c> of</c><00:23:39.420><c> obstacles</c><00:23:39.880><c> in</c><00:23:40.119><c> life.</c>

00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:43.599
And<00:23:40.559><c> well,</c><00:23:40.680><c> if</c><00:23:40.819><c> God</c><00:23:41.019><c> was</c><00:23:41.279><c> with</c><00:23:41.400><c> me</c><00:23:41.539><c> in</c><00:23:41.640><c> the</c><00:23:41.839><c> first</c><00:23:42.059><c> step,</c><00:23:42.640><c> surely</c><00:23:42.920><c> He</c><00:23:43.059><c> can</c><00:23:43.259><c> get</c><00:23:43.400><c> me</c>

00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:45.119
through<00:23:43.759><c> the</c><00:23:44.000><c> second</c><00:23:44.200><c> step.</c>

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:47.720
And<00:23:46.440><c> then,</c><00:23:46.740><c> you</c><00:23:46.819><c> know,</c><00:23:46.940><c> it's</c><00:23:47.119><c> not</c><00:23:47.299><c> long</c><00:23:47.519><c> after.</c>

00:23:47.779 --> 00:23:50.940
There's<00:23:48.039><c> a</c><00:23:48.200><c> third</c><00:23:48.420><c> step,</c><00:23:49.180><c> but</c><00:23:49.380><c> there's</c><00:23:49.799><c> steps.</c>

00:23:51.059 --> 00:23:53.579
And<00:23:51.200><c> as</c><00:23:51.420><c> you</c><00:23:51.559><c> get</c><00:23:51.839><c> higher</c><00:23:52.420><c> in</c><00:23:52.640><c> the</c><00:23:52.839><c> steps</c><00:23:53.000><c> of</c><00:23:53.240><c> faith,</c><00:23:53.420><c> your</c>

00:23:53.579 --> 00:23:55.059
faith<00:23:53.759><c> gets</c><00:23:54.019><c> stronger.</c>

00:23:55.839 --> 00:24:00.640
But<00:23:56.039><c> what</c><00:23:56.299><c> happens</c><00:23:56.700><c> sometimes</c><00:23:57.420><c> is</c><00:23:57.720><c> people</c><00:23:59.119><c> second</c><00:23:59.819><c>-guess</c><00:24:00.059><c> themselves.</c>

00:24:00.940 --> 00:24:03.380
You<00:24:01.140><c> know,</c><00:24:01.160><c> I'm</c><00:24:01.380><c> not</c><00:24:01.559><c> too</c><00:24:01.799><c> sure</c><00:24:01.980><c> maybe</c><00:24:02.259><c> God</c><00:24:02.519><c> was</c><00:24:02.799><c> with</c><00:24:03.019><c> me.</c>

00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:05.680
You<00:24:03.779><c> ever</c><00:24:03.900><c> played</c><00:24:04.099><c> the</c><00:24:04.259><c> game</c><00:24:04.400><c> Snakes</c><00:24:04.660><c> and</c><00:24:04.819><c> Ladders?</c>

00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:10.920
A<00:24:07.680><c> snake,</c><00:24:08.200><c> you</c><00:24:08.619><c> can</c><00:24:08.740><c> go</c><00:24:08.940><c> down</c><00:24:09.079><c> real</c><00:24:09.319><c> fast,</c><00:24:09.839><c> right</c><00:24:10.079><c> back</c><00:24:10.299><c> to</c><00:24:10.380><c> where</c><00:24:10.480><c> you</c><00:24:10.680><c> started.</c>

00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:13.200
And<00:24:11.519><c> I</c><00:24:11.599><c> often</c><00:24:11.819><c> think</c><00:24:12.059><c> of</c><00:24:12.200><c> that,</c><00:24:12.319><c> that</c><00:24:12.460><c> little</c><00:24:12.660><c> game</c><00:24:12.880><c> we</c><00:24:13.019><c> used</c>

00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:13.900
to<00:24:13.400><c> play</c><00:24:13.539><c> together</c>

00:24:13.900 --> 00:24:15.339
to<00:24:14.079><c> have</c><00:24:14.079><c> a</c><00:24:14.079><c> lot</c><00:24:14.259><c> of</c><00:24:14.380><c> fun</c><00:24:14.440><c> with</c><00:24:14.660><c> Snakes</c><00:24:14.900><c> and</c><00:24:15.039><c> Ladders.</c>

00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.400

00:24:20.940 --> 00:24:24.160

00:24:26.140 --> 00:24:29.460

with<00:24:32.279><c> you.</c>

00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:35.599
That<00:24:32.559><c> was</c><00:24:32.920><c> just</c><00:24:33.519><c> chance</c><00:24:33.940><c> factors</c><00:24:34.460><c> that</c><00:24:34.759><c> came</c><00:24:34.960><c> together</c><00:24:35.420><c> at</c>

00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:36.180
that<00:24:35.920><c> time.</c>

00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:37.319
And<00:24:36.640><c> here</c><00:24:36.839><c> you</c><00:24:37.099><c> are.</c>

00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:40.680
Or<00:24:37.819><c> you</c><00:24:38.160><c> know</c><00:24:38.460><c> that</c><00:24:38.680><c> you</c><00:24:38.960><c> weren't</c><00:24:39.140><c> really</c><00:24:39.920><c> convinced.</c>

00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:43.400
It<00:24:41.180><c> was</c><00:24:41.440><c> more</c><00:24:41.700><c> or</c><00:24:41.819><c> less</c><00:24:42.019><c> the</c><00:24:42.259><c> persuasion</c><00:24:42.779><c> of</c><00:24:43.079><c> peers.</c>

00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:45.839
And<00:24:43.819><c> you</c><00:24:43.940><c> know,</c><00:24:44.099><c> it's</c><00:24:44.180><c> what</c><00:24:44.319><c> your</c><00:24:44.579><c> parents</c><00:24:44.859><c> wanted.</c>

00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:48.559
And<00:24:46.119><c> you</c><00:24:46.259><c> remember</c><00:24:46.460><c> you</c><00:24:46.599><c> were</c><00:24:46.859><c> baptized</c><00:24:47.319><c> because</c><00:24:48.000><c> while</c><00:24:48.420><c> you</c>

00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:49.420
thought<00:24:48.640><c> it</c><00:24:48.779><c> would</c><00:24:48.839><c> be</c><00:24:48.960><c> a</c><00:24:49.039><c> great</c><00:24:49.200><c> thing,</c>

00:24:49.500 --> 00:24:51.140
all<00:24:49.619><c> the</c><00:24:49.779><c> people</c><00:24:49.920><c> were</c><00:24:50.099><c> going</c><00:24:50.160><c> to</c><00:24:50.259><c> be</c><00:24:50.400><c> there</c><00:24:50.559><c> that</c><00:24:50.759><c> weekend.</c>

00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:52.500
So<00:24:51.359><c> you</c><00:24:51.480><c> were</c><00:24:51.619><c> baptized</c><00:24:52.000><c> that</c><00:24:52.279><c> weekend.</c>

00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:56.039
There<00:24:52.680><c> are</c><00:24:52.859><c> all</c><00:24:53.019><c> kinds</c><00:24:53.319><c> of</c><00:24:53.519><c> reasons</c><00:24:54.039><c> that</c><00:24:55.240><c> doubt</c><00:24:55.460><c> comes</c><00:24:55.720><c> into</c>

00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:57.259
our<00:24:56.319><c> mind</c><00:24:56.599><c> to</c><00:24:56.940><c> say,</c>

00:24:57.299 --> 00:24:59.460
well,<00:24:57.480><c> you</c><00:24:57.700><c> weren't</c><00:24:57.900><c> really</c><00:24:58.319><c> sincere.</c>

00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:01.319
And<00:25:00.079><c> the</c><00:25:00.400><c> flesh</c><00:25:00.619><c> is</c><00:25:00.880><c> like</c><00:25:01.119><c> that.</c>

00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:03.220
That's<00:25:01.640><c> the</c><00:25:01.720><c> way</c><00:25:01.839><c> the</c><00:25:02.099><c> flesh</c><00:25:02.259><c> is.</c>

00:25:03.380 --> 00:25:05.619
So<00:25:03.680><c> we've</c><00:25:04.000><c> got</c><00:25:04.059><c> to</c><00:25:04.200><c> be</c><00:25:04.380><c> prepared</c><00:25:04.799><c> to</c><00:25:05.079><c> deal</c><00:25:05.259><c> with</c><00:25:05.480><c> that.</c>

00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:08.619
And<00:25:05.759><c> that's,</c><00:25:06.220><c> you</c><00:25:06.220><c> see,</c><00:25:06.460><c> Nehemiah,</c><00:25:06.940><c> like</c><00:25:07.180><c> he</c><00:25:07.619><c> gave</c><00:25:07.900><c> his</c><00:25:08.220><c> commitment.</c>

00:25:08.619 --> 00:25:12.420
But<00:25:08.799><c> when</c><00:25:09.039><c> all</c><00:25:09.380><c> this</c><00:25:09.779><c> controversy,</c><00:25:11.079><c> all</c><00:25:11.339><c> these</c><00:25:11.619><c> adversaries</c><00:25:12.180><c> come,</c>

00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:14.559
he<00:25:12.619><c> would</c><00:25:12.819><c> have</c><00:25:13.039><c> second</c><00:25:13.339><c> guessed</c><00:25:13.640><c> that.</c>

00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:17.900
And<00:25:15.079><c> how</c><00:25:15.220><c> did</c><00:25:15.339><c> he</c><00:25:15.599><c> manage</c><00:25:15.880><c> to</c><00:25:16.380><c> have</c><00:25:16.660><c> himself</c><00:25:17.119><c> strong</c><00:25:17.539><c> enough</c>

00:25:17.900 --> 00:25:20.059

00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:22.240
When<00:25:20.140><c> you're</c><00:25:20.400><c> facing</c><00:25:20.720><c> some</c><00:25:21.000><c> of</c><00:25:21.119><c> the</c><00:25:21.240><c> things</c><00:25:21.359><c> we</c><00:25:21.519><c> just</c><00:25:21.700><c> read</c><00:25:21.839><c> about</c><00:25:22.019><c> in</c>

which<00:25:23.079><c> is</c><00:25:23.299><c> only</c><00:25:23.539><c> one</c><00:25:23.700><c> of</c><00:25:23.819><c> the</c><00:25:24.000><c> chapters</c><00:25:24.299><c> that</c><00:25:24.539><c> deals</c><00:25:24.740><c> with</c><00:25:24.980><c> it,</c><00:25:26.200><c> illustrates,</c>

00:25:26.940 --> 00:25:31.180
there<00:25:27.119><c> has</c><00:25:27.400><c> to</c><00:25:27.559><c> be</c><00:25:27.799><c> a</c><00:25:27.980><c> toughness</c><00:25:28.440><c> of</c><00:25:28.700><c> mind</c><00:25:29.059><c> for</c><00:25:29.799><c> a</c><00:25:30.180><c> person</c><00:25:30.539><c> to</c>

00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:38.079
And<00:25:34.400><c> I</c><00:25:34.559><c> tend</c><00:25:34.819><c> to</c><00:25:35.099><c> think</c><00:25:35.319><c> that</c><00:25:36.220><c> if</c><00:25:36.640><c> you</c><00:25:37.160><c> keep</c><00:25:37.380><c> your</c><00:25:37.779><c> commitment</c>

00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:41.460
in<00:25:38.339><c> your</c><00:25:38.619><c> mind,</c><00:25:39.759><c> that</c><00:25:40.019><c> is</c><00:25:40.339><c> a</c><00:25:40.460><c> real</c><00:25:40.619><c> help.</c>

00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:43.099
You<00:25:42.259><c> know,</c><00:25:42.359><c> I</c><00:25:42.460><c> learn</c><00:25:42.640><c> these</c><00:25:42.900><c> things.</c>

00:25:43.220 --> 00:25:45.759
I<00:25:43.400><c> just</c><00:25:43.640><c> try</c><00:25:43.759><c> to</c><00:25:43.900><c> keep</c><00:25:44.099><c> track</c><00:25:44.359><c> of</c><00:25:44.559><c> everything</c><00:25:44.779><c> that</c><00:25:44.960><c> anyone</c><00:25:45.140><c> ever</c><00:25:45.400><c> tells</c><00:25:45.579><c> me</c>

00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:46.660
that<00:25:45.859><c> I</c><00:25:45.960><c> think</c><00:25:46.059><c> is</c><00:25:46.240><c> really</c><00:25:46.519><c> good.</c>

00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:49.839
Therefore,<00:25:47.779><c> you</c><00:25:47.900><c> know,</c><00:25:48.259><c> when</c><00:25:48.500><c> people</c><00:25:48.819><c> talk</c><00:25:49.180><c> or</c><00:25:49.299><c> when</c><00:25:49.440><c> I</c><00:25:49.640><c> talk,</c>

00:25:49.859 --> 00:25:51.619
I'm<00:25:50.039><c> not</c><00:25:50.140><c> really</c><00:25:50.339><c> talking</c><00:25:50.519><c> about</c><00:25:50.720><c> a</c><00:25:50.779><c> lot</c><00:25:50.940><c> of</c><00:25:51.059><c> the</c><00:25:51.200><c> ideas</c><00:25:51.440><c> that</c>

00:25:51.619 --> 00:25:52.220
I<00:25:51.720><c> came</c><00:25:51.880><c> up</c><00:25:52.099><c> with.</c>

00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:52.960
Many<00:25:52.440><c> of</c><00:25:52.559><c> them</c><00:25:52.660><c> aren't.</c>

00:25:53.180 --> 00:25:55.700
They're<00:25:53.359><c> just</c><00:25:53.579><c> ideas</c><00:25:53.960><c> that</c><00:25:54.220><c> I</c><00:25:54.740><c> thought,</c><00:25:54.839><c> hey,</c><00:25:54.940><c> that's</c><00:25:55.140><c> a</c><00:25:55.220><c> good</c><00:25:55.359><c> idea.</c>

00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:56.980
So<00:25:55.920><c> I</c><00:25:56.019><c> wrote</c><00:25:56.119><c> it</c><00:25:56.319><c> down</c><00:25:56.500><c> in</c><00:25:56.619><c> my</c><00:25:56.839><c> mind.</c>

00:25:57.039 --> 00:25:58.920
I<00:25:57.140><c> couldn't</c><00:25:57.640><c> even</c><00:25:57.839><c> tell</c><00:25:57.960><c> you</c><00:25:58.099><c> where</c><00:25:58.200><c> some</c><00:25:58.380><c> of</c><00:25:58.500><c> these</c><00:25:58.640><c> ideas</c>

00:25:58.920 --> 00:26:00.039
came<00:25:59.160><c> from.</c>

00:26:00.740 --> 00:26:02.859
But<00:26:01.099><c> my</c><00:26:01.400><c> daughter</c><00:26:01.740><c> told</c><00:26:02.220><c> me</c><00:26:02.400><c> about</c><00:26:02.599><c> something.</c>

00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:03.880
I'll<00:26:03.099><c> never</c><00:26:03.259><c> forget</c><00:26:03.519><c> about</c><00:26:03.740><c> it.</c>

00:26:03.900 --> 00:26:05.339
And<00:26:04.019><c> I</c><00:26:04.119><c> thought,</c><00:26:04.359><c> you</c><00:26:04.400><c> know,</c><00:26:04.440><c> that</c><00:26:04.559><c> was</c><00:26:04.720><c> a</c><00:26:04.839><c> really</c><00:26:04.980><c> good</c><00:26:05.160><c> idea.</c>

00:26:05.380 --> 00:26:08.140
I<00:26:05.480><c> don't</c><00:26:05.539><c> know</c><00:26:05.579><c> why</c><00:26:05.720><c> we</c><00:26:05.880><c> didn't</c><00:26:06.079><c> do</c><00:26:06.200><c> it</c><00:26:06.279><c> when</c><00:26:06.420><c> we</c><00:26:06.619><c> were</c><00:26:06.880><c> first</c><00:26:07.160><c> married.</c>

00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:14.019
You<00:26:10.759><c> know,</c><00:26:11.599><c> if</c><00:26:12.119><c> any</c><00:26:12.339><c> of</c><00:26:12.440><c> you</c><00:26:12.480><c> are</c><00:26:12.640><c> married,</c><00:26:13.440><c> can</c><00:26:13.599><c> you</c><00:26:13.740><c> remember</c>

00:26:14.019 --> 00:26:15.920
what<00:26:14.160><c> you</c><00:26:14.420><c> said</c><00:26:14.559><c> as</c><00:26:14.740><c> your</c><00:26:14.920><c> vows?</c>

00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:18.380
Like<00:26:17.220><c> some</c><00:26:17.400><c> people</c><00:26:17.660><c> memorize</c><00:26:18.119><c> them.</c>

00:26:18.420 --> 00:26:22.059
It<00:26:18.539><c> sounds</c><00:26:18.680><c> so</c><00:26:19.000><c> beautiful</c><00:26:19.339><c> to</c><00:26:19.619><c> see</c><00:26:20.579><c> a</c><00:26:20.740><c> young</c><00:26:21.619><c> man</c><00:26:21.839><c> and</c><00:26:21.900><c> a</c><00:26:21.980><c> young</c>

00:26:22.059 --> 00:26:23.519

00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:28.180
That's<00:26:27.960><c> hard.</c>

00:26:28.180 --> 00:26:30.400
I<00:26:28.339><c> mean,</c><00:26:28.700><c> that's</c><00:26:29.559><c> a</c><00:26:29.660><c> good</c><00:26:29.799><c> talent,</c><00:26:30.319><c> boy.</c>

00:26:30.460 --> 00:26:34.940

00:26:35.740 --> 00:26:37.339
But<00:26:35.920><c> we</c><00:26:36.140><c> forget</c><00:26:36.380><c> them.</c>

00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:41.059
And<00:26:38.420><c> when</c><00:26:38.599><c> the</c><00:26:38.819><c> trouble</c><00:26:39.059><c> comes</c><00:26:39.400><c> like</c><00:26:39.619><c> it</c><00:26:39.720><c> is</c><00:26:39.880><c> in</c><00:26:40.019><c> Nehemiah,</c><00:26:40.440><c> Chapter</c><00:26:40.759><c> 6,</c>

00:26:46.539 --> 00:26:49.900
So<00:26:46.700><c> what</c><00:26:46.859><c> she</c><00:26:47.099><c> did,</c><00:26:47.799><c> and</c><00:26:48.099><c> she</c><00:26:48.240><c> and</c><00:26:48.359><c> Chris,</c><00:26:49.160><c> they</c><00:26:49.339><c> decided</c><00:26:49.680><c> that</c>

00:26:49.900 --> 00:26:52.519
what<00:26:50.000><c> they</c><00:26:50.160><c> would</c><00:26:50.319><c> do</c><00:26:50.500><c> is</c><00:26:50.700><c> they'd</c><00:26:50.880><c> take</c><00:26:51.079><c> their</c><00:26:51.339><c> vows,</c>

00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:56.700
they<00:26:53.019><c> would</c><00:26:53.400><c> write</c><00:26:53.619><c> them</c><00:26:53.799><c> on</c><00:26:53.940><c> a</c><00:26:54.140><c> big</c><00:26:54.420><c> picture</c><00:26:54.960><c> of</c><00:26:55.480><c> them</c><00:26:56.019><c> when</c>

they<00:26:56.859><c> were</c><00:26:57.039><c> married.</c>

00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:59.299
They<00:26:57.539><c> showed</c><00:26:57.539><c> me</c><00:26:57.680><c> that</c><00:26:57.819><c> you</c><00:26:57.859><c> usually</c><00:26:58.079><c> have</c><00:26:58.279><c> lots</c><00:26:58.539><c> of</c><00:26:58.700><c> pictures,</c><00:26:59.099><c> and</c><00:26:59.160><c> they</c>

00:26:59.299 --> 00:27:00.099
write<00:26:59.380><c> their</c><00:26:59.599><c> vows</c><00:26:59.779><c> down,</c>

00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:02.059
put<00:27:00.279><c> it</c><00:27:00.500><c> right</c><00:27:00.640><c> over</c><00:27:00.859><c> their</c><00:27:01.079><c> bed.</c>

00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:05.900
Every<00:27:03.740><c> night</c><00:27:04.059><c> they</c><00:27:04.539><c> come</c><00:27:04.779><c> in</c><00:27:04.940><c> and</c><00:27:05.019><c> they</c><00:27:05.180><c> see</c><00:27:05.319><c> that</c><00:27:05.559><c> picture</c>

00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:09.839
Now<00:27:08.000><c> that,</c><00:27:08.119><c> to</c><00:27:08.279><c> my</c><00:27:08.400><c> mind,</c><00:27:08.599><c> is</c><00:27:08.779><c> good</c><00:27:09.019><c> sense.</c>

00:27:12.859 --> 00:27:16.900

You're<00:27:26.619><c> already</c><00:27:26.880><c> married.</c>

00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:05.160
Now<00:29:03.359><c> this</c><00:29:03.720><c> is</c><00:29:03.940><c> what</c><00:29:04.200><c> psychologists</c><00:29:04.759><c> tell</c><00:29:05.019><c> us.</c>

00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:14.640
But<00:29:09.779><c> they</c><00:29:09.980><c> tell</c><00:29:10.119><c> you</c><00:29:10.299><c> that</c><00:29:10.440><c> in</c><00:29:10.680><c> difficulty</c><00:29:11.140><c> you</c><00:29:11.359><c> do</c><00:29:11.640><c> one</c><00:29:11.839><c> of</c><00:29:11.940><c> two</c><00:29:12.119><c> things,</c><00:29:12.900><c> either</c><00:29:13.160><c> fight</c><00:29:13.660><c> or</c>

00:29:20.019 --> 00:29:23.000

So<00:30:19.900><c> I</c><00:30:19.920><c> thought,</c><00:30:20.200><c> I'm</c><00:30:20.359><c> going</c><00:30:20.359><c> to</c><00:30:20.460><c> get</c><00:30:20.579><c> out</c><00:30:20.680><c> of</c><00:30:20.819><c> this.</c><00:30:20.940><c> I</c><00:30:21.059><c> went</c><00:30:21.140><c> into</c><00:30:21.240><c> my</c>

00:30:21.420 --> 00:30:22.579

00:30:22.940 --> 00:30:28.559
I<00:30:23.000><c> left</c><00:30:23.220><c> teaching</c><00:30:23.779><c> and</c><00:30:24.799><c> I</c><00:30:25.339><c> started</c><00:30:26.200><c> advertising</c><00:30:27.400><c> and</c><00:30:27.880><c> I</c><00:30:28.359><c> did</c>

00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:32.759
survey<00:30:28.940><c> work,</c><00:30:29.660><c> going</c><00:30:29.839><c> to</c><00:30:30.640><c> companies</c><00:30:31.059><c> and</c><00:30:31.839><c> doing</c><00:30:32.160><c> surveys</c>

00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:37.539
based<00:30:33.259><c> on</c><00:30:33.480><c> what</c><00:30:33.700><c> the</c><00:30:33.940><c> employees</c><00:30:34.180><c> had</c><00:30:34.359><c> to</c><00:30:34.579><c> say</c><00:30:34.859><c> and</c><00:30:36.019><c> then</c><00:30:36.420><c> trying</c><00:30:36.660><c> to</c><00:30:37.000><c> figure</c><00:30:37.160><c> out</c><00:30:37.339><c> a</c>

00:30:37.539 --> 00:30:39.339
strategy<00:30:37.839><c> of</c><00:30:37.980><c> how</c><00:30:38.099><c> to</c><00:30:38.220><c> deal</c><00:30:38.359><c> with</c><00:30:38.519><c> it.</c>

00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:43.000
And<00:30:39.680><c> it</c><00:30:40.000><c> worked</c><00:30:40.180><c> fairly</c><00:30:40.519><c> good,</c><00:30:41.079><c> but</c><00:30:41.279><c> it</c><00:30:41.440><c> was</c><00:30:41.740><c> a</c><00:30:41.940><c> feast</c><00:30:42.160><c> or</c><00:30:42.420><c> famine,</c><00:30:42.819><c> as</c><00:30:42.940><c> a</c>

00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:45.059
lot<00:30:43.079><c> of</c><00:30:43.180><c> you</c><00:30:43.299><c> people</c><00:30:43.480><c> would</c><00:30:43.680><c> know</c><00:30:43.819><c> what</c><00:30:43.980><c> that</c><00:30:44.259><c> means.</c>

00:30:45.500 --> 00:30:49.259
Like<00:30:45.940><c> you're</c><00:30:46.380><c> always</c><00:30:46.680><c> worried</c><00:30:47.059><c> about</c><00:30:47.339><c> getting</c><00:30:47.559><c> too</c><00:30:47.880><c> big</c><00:30:48.259><c> because</c><00:30:49.039><c> if</c>

00:30:49.259 --> 00:30:51.220
you<00:30:49.480><c> advertise</c><00:30:50.019><c> broadly</c><00:30:50.759><c> and</c><00:30:50.980><c> you</c><00:30:51.119><c> say,</c>

00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:53.839
oh<00:30:51.400><c> yeah,</c><00:30:51.539><c> I'll</c><00:30:51.779><c> take</c><00:30:51.980><c> that</c><00:30:52.259><c> client</c><00:30:52.500><c> on,</c><00:30:52.740><c> well,</c><00:30:53.480><c> the</c><00:30:53.640><c> clients</c>

00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:57.140
I<00:30:54.079><c> took</c><00:30:54.259><c> on</c><00:30:54.500><c> was,</c><00:30:54.980><c> any</c><00:30:55.259><c> one</c><00:30:55.400><c> of</c><00:30:55.519><c> those</c><00:30:55.720><c> clients</c><00:30:56.059><c> was</c><00:30:56.339><c> enough</c><00:30:56.579><c> work</c><00:30:56.799><c> for</c><00:30:57.039><c> a</c>

00:30:57.140 --> 00:30:58.440
year<00:30:57.339><c> for</c><00:30:57.559><c> me.</c>

00:30:58.660 --> 00:31:02.619
But<00:30:59.099><c> I</c><00:30:59.539><c> was</c><00:30:59.920><c> constantly</c><00:31:00.500><c> being</c><00:31:00.859><c> told,</c><00:31:01.319><c> you've</c><00:31:01.460><c> got</c><00:31:01.519><c> to</c><00:31:01.660><c> get</c><00:31:01.819><c> bigger.</c>

00:31:02.859 --> 00:31:06.299
I<00:31:02.980><c> didn't</c><00:31:03.200><c> like</c><00:31:03.400><c> employing</c><00:31:04.359><c> people,</c><00:31:04.680><c> so</c><00:31:04.960><c> I</c><00:31:05.359><c> refused</c><00:31:05.700><c> to</c><00:31:05.920><c> do</c><00:31:06.079><c> that.</c>

00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:08.460
I<00:31:06.819><c> eventually</c><00:31:07.079><c> got</c><00:31:07.240><c> out</c><00:31:07.380><c> of</c><00:31:07.480><c> it</c><00:31:07.619><c> and</c><00:31:07.619><c> went</c><00:31:07.779><c> back</c><00:31:08.059><c> to</c><00:31:08.180><c> work</c><00:31:08.319><c> for</c>

00:31:08.460 --> 00:31:09.019
somebody<00:31:08.759><c> else.</c>

00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:12.579
It<00:31:09.220><c> felt</c><00:31:09.259><c> much</c><00:31:09.500><c> easier</c><00:31:09.799><c> to</c><00:31:09.980><c> work</c><00:31:10.180><c> for</c><00:31:10.380><c> another</c><00:31:10.539><c> boss</c><00:31:10.880><c> than</c><00:31:11.039><c> myself</c><00:31:11.539><c> because</c><00:31:12.380><c> I</c>

00:31:12.579 --> 00:31:16.140
couldn't<00:31:13.779><c> come</c><00:31:14.119><c> home</c><00:31:14.519><c> and</c><00:31:14.839><c> leave</c><00:31:15.000><c> it</c><00:31:15.220><c> behind.</c>

00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:20.279
When<00:31:16.440><c> I</c><00:31:16.599><c> got</c><00:31:16.740><c> home,</c><00:31:16.940><c> I</c><00:31:17.079><c> worked</c><00:31:17.279><c> at</c><00:31:17.420><c> a</c><00:31:17.539><c> home.</c><00:31:18.259><c> So</c><00:31:18.440><c> it</c><00:31:18.779><c> was</c><00:31:19.019><c> always</c><00:31:19.279><c> there.</c>

00:31:20.339 --> 00:31:23.180
And<00:31:20.559><c> in</c><00:31:20.579><c> terms</c><00:31:20.859><c> of</c><00:31:21.119><c> the</c><00:31:21.339><c> truth,</c><00:31:21.680><c> it</c><00:31:21.740><c> just</c><00:31:22.140><c> got</c><00:31:22.339><c> in</c><00:31:22.519><c> the</c><00:31:22.660><c> way.</c><00:31:22.940><c> So</c>

00:31:23.180 --> 00:31:26.299
it<00:31:23.200><c> was</c><00:31:23.440><c> better</c><00:31:23.640><c> for</c><00:31:23.839><c> me</c><00:31:24.460><c> just</c><00:31:24.819><c> to</c><00:31:25.539><c> get</c><00:31:25.660><c> out</c><00:31:25.799><c> of</c><00:31:25.920><c> that.</c>

00:31:26.299 --> 00:31:28.980
So<00:31:26.839><c> you</c><00:31:26.980><c> could</c><00:31:27.539><c> come</c><00:31:27.759><c> home</c><00:31:27.980><c> and</c><00:31:28.140><c> you</c><00:31:28.240><c> could</c><00:31:28.420><c> leave</c><00:31:28.559><c> it</c><00:31:28.740><c> away.</c>

00:31:29.259 --> 00:31:30.920
You<00:31:29.400><c> leave</c><00:31:29.460><c> it</c><00:31:29.680><c> there</c><00:31:29.839><c> where</c><00:31:30.000><c> it</c><00:31:30.180><c> was.</c>

00:31:31.380 --> 00:31:35.079
And<00:31:31.480><c> I</c><00:31:31.559><c> think</c><00:31:31.700><c> that's</c><00:31:32.019><c> one</c><00:31:32.180><c> of</c><00:31:32.359><c> the</c><00:31:33.960><c> aspects</c><00:31:34.400><c> that</c><00:31:34.579><c> we</c><00:31:34.720><c> have</c><00:31:34.859><c> to</c>

00:31:36.099 --> 00:31:38.460
because<00:31:36.200><c> a</c><00:31:36.339><c> lot</c><00:31:36.460><c> of</c><00:31:36.720><c> people</c><00:31:36.920><c> now</c><00:31:37.200><c> are</c><00:31:37.480><c> actually</c><00:31:37.819><c> able</c><00:31:38.079><c> to</c><00:31:38.299><c> work</c>

from<00:31:38.720><c> home</c><00:31:39.019><c> because</c><00:31:39.880><c> of</c><00:31:40.400><c> the</c><00:31:40.559><c> Internet.</c>

00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:43.640
You've<00:31:41.740><c> got</c><00:31:41.799><c> high</c><00:31:42.000><c> speed</c><00:31:42.200><c> Internet.</c><00:31:42.539><c> You</c><00:31:42.680><c> can</c><00:31:42.859><c> talk</c><00:31:43.079><c> to</c><00:31:43.240><c> people</c><00:31:43.400><c> all</c>

00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:44.920
around<00:31:43.819><c> the</c><00:31:44.000><c> world</c><00:31:44.200><c> from</c><00:31:44.380><c> your</c><00:31:44.579><c> own</c><00:31:44.759><c> home.</c>

00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:47.859
You<00:31:45.039><c> don't</c><00:31:45.220><c> need</c><00:31:45.380><c> to</c><00:31:45.500><c> have</c><00:31:45.579><c> an</c><00:31:45.799><c> office.</c><00:31:46.579><c> And</c><00:31:46.779><c> the</c><00:31:46.940><c> company</c><00:31:47.140><c> says,</c><00:31:47.420><c> hey,</c><00:31:47.500><c> that's</c><00:31:47.799><c> a</c>

00:31:47.859 --> 00:31:49.900
good<00:31:48.000><c> idea</c><00:31:48.279><c> because</c><00:31:48.420><c> we</c><00:31:48.579><c> don't</c><00:31:48.700><c> have</c><00:31:48.839><c> to</c><00:31:49.099><c> provide</c><00:31:49.259><c> you</c><00:31:49.420><c> an</c><00:31:49.619><c> office.</c>

00:31:50.059 --> 00:31:53.299
So<00:31:50.319><c> it's</c><00:31:50.539><c> cheaper</c><00:31:50.759><c> for</c><00:31:50.960><c> us,</c><00:31:51.259><c> cheaper</c><00:31:51.500><c> for</c><00:31:51.759><c> you.</c><00:31:52.700><c> Everybody's</c><00:31:53.059><c> happy.</c>

00:31:53.299 --> 00:31:57.539
Well,<00:31:53.960><c> you</c><00:31:54.079><c> may</c><00:31:54.299><c> not</c><00:31:54.480><c> be</c><00:31:54.700><c> happy</c><00:31:54.900><c> in</c><00:31:55.039><c> the</c><00:31:55.220><c> truth</c><00:31:55.700><c> unless</c><00:31:57.059><c> it's</c><00:31:57.380><c> a</c>

00:31:57.539 --> 00:32:00.880
job<00:31:57.799><c> that</c><00:31:58.000><c> you</c><00:31:58.180><c> can</c><00:31:58.559><c> leave</c><00:31:59.079><c> in</c><00:31:59.920><c> a</c><00:32:00.119><c> room</c>

00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:03.259

00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:07.059
Because<00:32:04.160><c> if</c><00:32:04.480><c> you've</c><00:32:04.740><c> got</c><00:32:04.839><c> it</c><00:32:05.000><c> with</c><00:32:05.200><c> you</c><00:32:05.400><c> all</c><00:32:05.640><c> the</c><00:32:05.859><c> time,</c><00:32:06.079><c> I</c><00:32:06.279><c> never</c><00:32:06.519><c> found</c><00:32:06.880><c> a</c>

00:32:07.059 --> 00:32:08.259
way<00:32:07.200><c> to</c><00:32:07.440><c> really</c><00:32:07.759><c> relax</c>

00:32:08.259 --> 00:32:09.900
because<00:32:08.640><c> you</c><00:32:08.839><c> always</c><00:32:09.039><c> think</c><00:32:09.220><c> about</c><00:32:09.339><c> what</c><00:32:09.460><c> you</c><00:32:09.680><c> should</c><00:32:09.799><c> do.</c>

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:11.099
It's<00:32:10.059><c> like</c><00:32:10.220><c> farming.</c>

00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:14.079

00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:17.819
You<00:32:14.559><c> know,</c><00:32:14.660><c> there's</c><00:32:14.900><c> a</c><00:32:15.160><c> board</c><00:32:15.579><c> blowing</c><00:32:16.160><c> off</c><00:32:17.099><c> the</c><00:32:17.319><c> bar,</c><00:32:17.599><c> waving</c>

00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:22.319

00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:39.900
I'm<00:32:38.440><c> not</c><00:32:38.579><c> too</c><00:32:38.799><c> sure.</c><00:32:38.920><c> I've</c><00:32:39.000><c> got</c><00:32:39.099><c> the</c><00:32:39.299><c> courage</c><00:32:39.500><c> to</c><00:32:39.640><c> go</c><00:32:39.720><c> up</c><00:32:39.839><c> to</c>

that<00:33:05.759><c> basis.</c>

00:33:08.339 --> 00:33:13.079

00:33:14.420 --> 00:33:18.400
because<00:33:15.099><c> we</c><00:33:15.700><c> don't</c><00:33:15.920><c> have</c><00:33:16.180><c> time</c><00:33:16.420><c> to</c><00:33:16.579><c> get</c><00:33:16.700><c> into</c><00:33:16.980><c> this</c><00:33:17.240><c> study</c><00:33:17.599><c> a</c>

00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:19.680
little<00:33:18.759><c> piecemeal,</c>

00:33:19.740 --> 00:33:24.640
but<00:33:19.940><c> we</c><00:33:20.200><c> do</c><00:33:20.380><c> have</c><00:33:20.640><c> time</c><00:33:21.039><c> to</c><00:33:21.759><c> draw</c><00:33:22.039><c> your</c><00:33:22.400><c> attention</c><00:33:22.819><c> to</c><00:33:23.079><c> the</c><00:33:23.299><c> richness</c><00:33:23.779><c> of</c>

this<00:33:24.900><c> study,</c>

00:33:25.299 --> 00:33:28.019
which<00:33:25.579><c> means</c><00:33:25.900><c> that</c><00:33:26.180><c> the</c><00:33:26.539><c> real</c><00:33:26.819><c> value</c><00:33:27.200><c> would</c><00:33:27.420><c> be</c><00:33:27.559><c> when</c><00:33:27.720><c> you</c><00:33:27.880><c> get</c>

00:33:30.420 --> 00:33:36.940
But<00:33:30.740><c> how</c><00:33:31.000><c> do</c><00:33:31.160><c> you</c><00:33:31.420><c> deal</c><00:33:32.119><c> with</c><00:33:34.299><c> an</c><00:33:34.559><c> ecclesia</c><00:33:35.000><c> where</c><00:33:35.500><c> it's</c><00:33:36.079><c> not</c><00:33:36.539><c> peace?</c>

00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:39.640
If<00:33:37.400><c> you</c><00:33:37.559><c> come</c><00:33:37.740><c> up</c><00:33:37.880><c> with</c><00:33:38.000><c> an</c><00:33:38.200><c> idea,</c><00:33:38.500><c> you</c><00:33:38.599><c> can</c><00:33:38.799><c> almost</c><00:33:39.019><c> be</c><00:33:39.339><c> sure.</c>

00:33:39.859 --> 00:33:41.559
You<00:33:40.000><c> can</c><00:33:40.119><c> actually</c><00:33:40.480><c> put</c><00:33:40.799><c> names</c><00:33:41.079><c> on</c><00:33:41.299><c> a</c><00:33:41.380><c> paper.</c>

00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:44.279
These<00:33:41.819><c> will</c><00:33:41.980><c> be</c><00:33:42.119><c> the</c><00:33:42.299><c> people</c><00:33:42.480><c> that</c><00:33:42.660><c> will</c><00:33:42.759><c> be</c><00:33:42.859><c> against</c><00:33:43.140><c> this</c><00:33:43.460><c> idea.</c>

00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:50.140
And<00:33:45.019><c> so</c><00:33:45.119><c> it</c><00:33:45.400><c> stifles</c><00:33:46.519><c> any</c><00:33:47.019><c> kind</c><00:33:47.279><c> of</c><00:33:48.380><c> work</c><00:33:48.539><c> that</c><00:33:48.720><c> you</c><00:33:48.819><c> might</c><00:33:49.000><c> want</c><00:33:49.180><c> to</c><00:33:49.339><c> do.</c>

00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:55.400
And<00:33:51.119><c> that</c><00:33:51.559><c> is</c><00:33:52.299><c> unfortunate,</c><00:33:52.940><c> because</c><00:33:53.339><c> I</c><00:33:53.539><c> don't</c><00:33:53.759><c> know</c><00:33:53.900><c> that</c><00:33:54.079><c> people</c><00:33:54.299><c> really</c><00:33:54.599><c> want</c><00:33:54.799><c> that</c><00:33:55.039><c> to</c><00:33:55.240><c> happen.</c>

00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:58.380
It<00:33:55.579><c> just</c><00:33:55.880><c> happens</c><00:33:56.220><c> because</c><00:33:56.599><c> we</c><00:33:56.839><c> just</c><00:33:57.119><c> default</c><00:33:57.400><c> to</c><00:33:57.599><c> it.</c>

This<00:36:27.699><c> is</c><00:36:27.960><c> going</c><00:36:28.139><c> back</c><00:36:28.440><c> to</c><00:36:28.559><c> his</c><00:36:28.820><c> day,</c><00:36:29.000><c> so</c><00:36:29.139><c> a</c><00:36:29.300><c> long</c><00:36:29.460><c> time</c><00:36:29.679><c> ago.</c>

00:36:29.940 --> 00:36:32.400
There<00:36:30.039><c> was</c><00:36:30.179><c> an</c><00:36:30.360><c> ecclesia</c><00:36:30.599><c> of</c><00:36:30.760><c> about</c><00:36:30.860><c> a</c><00:36:30.860><c> hundred</c><00:36:31.119><c> members</c><00:36:31.480><c> there.</c>

00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:33.820
There<00:36:32.739><c> isn't</c><00:36:32.900><c> any</c><00:36:33.139><c> ecclesia</c><00:36:33.500><c> there.</c>

00:36:34.179 --> 00:36:37.019
Like<00:36:34.320><c> there's</c><00:36:34.519><c> an</c><00:36:34.639><c> ecclesia</c><00:36:34.980><c> in</c><00:36:35.300><c> Bedford</c><00:36:35.739><c> and</c><00:36:36.159><c> some</c><00:36:36.800><c> other</c>

00:36:37.019 --> 00:36:38.119
places<00:36:37.280><c> around</c><00:36:37.619><c> Halifax,</c>

00:36:38.139 --> 00:36:39.639
but<00:36:38.280><c> really</c><00:36:38.519><c> there's</c><00:36:38.820><c> no</c><00:36:39.139><c> continuity.</c>

00:36:39.860 --> 00:36:44.119
The<00:36:40.000><c> ecclesia</c><00:36:40.340><c> died</c><00:36:40.880><c> a</c><00:36:41.539><c> hundred</c><00:36:41.840><c> members</c><00:36:42.239><c> in</c><00:36:42.440><c> Robert</c><00:36:42.800><c> Roberts'</c><00:36:43.340><c> time.</c>

00:36:44.820 --> 00:36:46.159
And<00:36:45.039><c> he</c><00:36:45.159><c> makes</c><00:36:45.340><c> a</c><00:36:45.519><c> little</c><00:36:45.679><c> note.</c>

00:36:46.619 --> 00:36:50.360
He<00:36:46.800><c> picked</c><00:36:47.019><c> this</c><00:36:47.179><c> out</c><00:36:47.280><c> of</c><00:36:47.420><c> the</c><00:36:47.539><c> pages</c><00:36:47.739><c> of</c><00:36:47.960><c> the</c><00:36:48.059><c> Chrysadelphians,</c><00:36:48.659><c> the</c><00:36:48.920><c> correspondence</c><00:36:49.360><c> there,</c>

00:36:50.500 --> 00:36:53.219
that<00:36:50.679><c> the</c><00:36:50.900><c> ecclesia</c><00:36:51.239><c> was</c><00:36:51.539><c> noted</c><00:36:51.780><c> for</c><00:36:52.139><c> controversy,</c><00:36:52.940><c> like</c><00:36:53.079><c> the</c>

00:36:53.219 --> 00:36:53.940
people<00:36:53.340><c> were</c><00:36:53.599><c> arguing,</c>

00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:55.679
and<00:36:54.179><c> they</c><00:36:54.280><c> just</c><00:36:54.440><c> couldn't</c><00:36:54.619><c> get</c><00:36:54.860><c> along.</c>

00:36:55.900 --> 00:36:59.460
And<00:36:56.420><c> you</c><00:36:56.599><c> say,</c><00:36:57.099><c> well,</c><00:36:57.699><c> there</c><00:36:57.800><c> you</c><00:36:58.019><c> are,</c><00:36:58.420><c> no</c><00:36:58.539><c> ecclesia</c><00:36:58.880><c> in</c><00:36:59.059><c> Halifax.</c>

00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:04.619
But<00:36:59.679><c> what</c><00:36:59.860><c> it</c><00:37:00.159><c> did</c><00:37:00.519><c> was</c><00:37:01.219><c> it</c><00:37:01.519><c> sent</c><00:37:01.699><c> people</c><00:37:02.119><c> to</c><00:37:03.239><c> the</c><00:37:03.480><c> West</c><00:37:03.719><c> Coast.</c>

00:37:04.860 --> 00:37:09.280
They<00:37:05.119><c> were</c><00:37:05.320><c> able</c><00:37:05.500><c> to</c><00:37:05.699><c> go</c><00:37:05.860><c> all</c><00:37:06.139><c> over</c><00:37:06.320><c> America</c><00:37:06.780><c> to</c><00:37:06.980><c> get</c><00:37:07.199><c> away</c><00:37:07.460><c> from</c><00:37:07.699><c> that</c><00:37:08.039><c> kind</c><00:37:08.280><c> of</c><00:37:08.739><c> controversy,</c>

00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:12.159
and<00:37:09.519><c> hence</c><00:37:09.880><c> their</c><00:37:10.239><c> other</c><00:37:10.460><c> ecclesias</c><00:37:10.860><c> started</c><00:37:11.139><c> up,</c><00:37:11.780><c> and</c><00:37:11.940><c> the</c>

00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:13.380
truth<00:37:12.300><c> spread</c><00:37:12.699><c> through</c><00:37:12.960><c> that.</c>

00:37:13.860 --> 00:37:16.320
So<00:37:14.099><c> it's</c><00:37:14.619><c> two</c><00:37:14.840><c> edges</c><00:37:15.099><c> to</c><00:37:15.420><c> this.</c>

00:37:16.619 --> 00:37:18.800
But<00:37:16.719><c> I'm</c><00:37:17.159><c> trying</c><00:37:17.420><c> to</c><00:37:17.760><c> concentrate</c><00:37:18.019><c> on</c><00:37:18.159><c> the</c><00:37:18.380><c> first</c><00:37:18.599><c> one,</c>

00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:22.219
and<00:37:18.940><c> that</c><00:37:19.099><c> is</c><00:37:19.360><c> that</c><00:37:19.800><c> you</c><00:37:20.000><c> don't</c><00:37:20.360><c> want</c><00:37:20.559><c> to</c><00:37:20.840><c> flee</c><00:37:21.019><c> because</c><00:37:21.400><c> of</c><00:37:21.760><c> controversy</c>

00:37:22.219 --> 00:37:26.219
when<00:37:22.400><c> you</c><00:37:22.599><c> know</c><00:37:23.079><c> that</c><00:37:24.420><c> in</c><00:37:24.639><c> a</c><00:37:24.820><c> great</c><00:37:24.980><c> house</c><00:37:25.260><c> there</c><00:37:25.500><c> are</c><00:37:25.880><c> vessels</c>

00:37:26.219 --> 00:37:27.239
of<00:37:26.440><c> gold</c><00:37:26.699><c> and</c><00:37:26.960><c> silver</c>

00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:29.300
and<00:37:27.400><c> there's</c><00:37:27.699><c> some</c><00:37:27.840><c> of</c><00:37:28.079><c> wood</c><00:37:28.179><c> and</c><00:37:28.500><c> stone.</c>

00:37:29.980 --> 00:37:32.780
There<00:37:30.139><c> are</c><00:37:30.320><c> some</c><00:37:30.500><c> that</c><00:37:30.900><c> won't</c><00:37:31.159><c> ever</c><00:37:31.699><c> stand</c><00:37:31.960><c> the</c><00:37:32.199><c> test</c><00:37:32.440><c> of</c><00:37:32.599><c> fire</c>

00:37:32.780 --> 00:37:33.880
and<00:37:33.019><c> judgment,</c>

00:37:34.179 --> 00:37:35.340
and<00:37:34.500><c> there's</c><00:37:34.760><c> some</c><00:37:34.900><c> that</c><00:37:35.179><c> will.</c>

00:37:35.420 --> 00:37:38.059
But<00:37:35.599><c> you're</c><00:37:35.820><c> in</c><00:37:35.940><c> the</c><00:37:36.119><c> ecclesia</c><00:37:36.420><c> together,</c><00:37:37.320><c> and</c><00:37:37.480><c> he</c><00:37:37.639><c> doesn't</c>

00:37:38.059 --> 00:37:38.579
tell<00:37:38.280><c> us,</c>

00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:40.460
doesn't<00:37:38.940><c> give</c><00:37:39.099><c> us</c><00:37:39.440><c> the</c><00:37:39.659><c> admonition</c><00:37:40.079><c> to</c><00:37:40.320><c> leave,</c>

00:37:40.519 --> 00:37:42.599
or<00:37:40.659><c> else</c><00:37:40.960><c> Timothy</c><00:37:41.460><c> couldn't</c><00:37:41.679><c> have</c><00:37:41.860><c> ever</c><00:37:42.000><c> done</c><00:37:42.159><c> the</c><00:37:42.340><c> work</c><00:37:42.440><c> he</c>

00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:44.460
did<00:37:43.260><c> in</c><00:37:43.559><c> Ephesus.</c>

00:37:45.659 --> 00:37:47.539
So<00:37:46.079><c> although</c><00:37:46.320><c> you</c><00:37:46.500><c> might</c><00:37:46.699><c> be</c><00:37:47.039><c> frustrated,</c>

00:37:47.780 --> 00:37:51.699
and<00:37:47.860><c> although</c><00:37:48.139><c> frustration</c><00:37:48.960><c> may</c><00:37:49.300><c> be</c><00:37:50.159><c> genuine</c><00:37:50.519><c> or</c><00:37:50.780><c> it</c><00:37:50.900><c> may</c><00:37:51.099><c> not</c><00:37:51.340><c> be,</c>

00:37:51.699 --> 00:37:55.480
it's<00:37:52.380><c> not</c><00:37:52.719><c> a</c><00:37:52.960><c> reason</c><00:37:53.300><c> to</c><00:37:53.579><c> think,</c><00:37:53.900><c> I've</c><00:37:53.940><c> got</c><00:37:54.019><c> to</c><00:37:54.139><c> get</c><00:37:54.300><c> out</c><00:37:54.420><c> of</c><00:37:54.559><c> here,</c>

00:37:55.900 --> 00:37:59.500
because<00:37:56.340><c> you</c><00:37:56.519><c> will</c><00:37:56.860><c> never</c><00:37:57.420><c> develop</c><00:37:58.340><c> the</c><00:37:58.840><c> kind</c><00:37:58.960><c> of</c><00:37:59.260><c> character</c>

00:37:59.500 --> 00:38:00.219
that<00:37:59.719><c> you</c><00:37:59.920><c> need</c>

00:38:00.219 --> 00:38:03.880
if<00:38:00.739><c> you</c><00:38:00.980><c> always</c><00:38:01.260><c> take</c><00:38:01.500><c> that</c><00:38:01.719><c> idea,</c><00:38:02.260><c> don't</c><00:38:02.480><c> like</c><00:38:02.659><c> it,</c><00:38:02.940><c> I'm</c><00:38:03.159><c> leaving,</c><00:38:03.460><c> don't</c><00:38:03.699><c> like</c>

00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:04.519
it,<00:38:04.039><c> I'm</c><00:38:04.219><c> leaving.</c>

00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:07.119
How<00:38:05.099><c> do</c><00:38:05.199><c> you</c><00:38:05.360><c> think</c><00:38:05.500><c> those</c><00:38:05.739><c> little</c><00:38:06.000><c> rocks</c><00:38:06.380><c> in</c><00:38:06.579><c> the</c><00:38:06.760><c> bottom</c><00:38:06.900><c> of</c>

00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:08.679
a<00:38:07.139><c> riverbed</c><00:38:07.480><c> get</c><00:38:07.719><c> polished,</c>

00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:12.800
get<00:38:09.960><c> shaped</c><00:38:10.320><c> round,</c><00:38:11.440><c> like</c><00:38:11.599><c> rocks</c><00:38:11.800><c> don't</c><00:38:12.059><c> come</c><00:38:12.239><c> out</c><00:38:12.420><c> there</c><00:38:12.639><c> round?</c>

00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:14.679
I<00:38:12.920><c> guess</c><00:38:13.179><c> there's</c><00:38:13.300><c> some,</c><00:38:13.579><c> the</c><00:38:13.659><c> volcanic</c><00:38:14.000><c> rocks</c><00:38:14.320><c> might</c><00:38:14.519><c> come</c>

00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:15.019
out<00:38:14.860><c> round,</c>

00:38:15.260 --> 00:38:17.440
but<00:38:15.440><c> most</c><00:38:15.800><c> of</c><00:38:15.940><c> the</c><00:38:16.039><c> ones</c><00:38:16.159><c> in</c><00:38:16.360><c> the</c><00:38:16.480><c> river</c><00:38:16.679><c> are</c><00:38:16.940><c> round</c><00:38:17.079><c> because</c>

00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:18.400
they're<00:38:17.719><c> rubbing</c><00:38:18.000><c> another,</c>

00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:21.900
they<00:38:18.980><c> get</c><00:38:19.300><c> the</c><00:38:20.000><c> edges</c><00:38:20.360><c> chipped</c><00:38:20.920><c> off</c><00:38:21.139><c> them.</c>

00:38:22.739 --> 00:38:24.719
Now<00:38:22.960><c> I'm</c><00:38:23.000><c> sure</c><00:38:23.219><c> every</c><00:38:23.460><c> one</c><00:38:23.579><c> of</c><00:38:23.679><c> us</c><00:38:23.820><c> know</c><00:38:23.940><c> we</c><00:38:24.079><c> have</c><00:38:24.239><c> a</c><00:38:24.360><c> few</c><00:38:24.500><c> edges</c>

00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:25.760
that<00:38:24.940><c> need</c><00:38:25.079><c> to</c><00:38:25.199><c> be</c><00:38:25.360><c> chipped</c><00:38:25.579><c> off,</c>

00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:27.679
it's<00:38:26.000><c> just</c><00:38:26.199><c> hard</c><00:38:26.340><c> to</c><00:38:26.639><c> let</c><00:38:26.719><c> them</c><00:38:26.920><c> go.</c>

00:38:28.219 --> 00:38:29.599
Well<00:38:28.380><c> we</c><00:38:28.460><c> need</c><00:38:28.639><c> each</c><00:38:28.880><c> other</c><00:38:29.039><c> for</c><00:38:29.199><c> that.</c>

00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:32.780
Like<00:38:30.199><c> it</c><00:38:30.300><c> was</c><00:38:30.440><c> God's</c><00:38:30.860><c> idea</c><00:38:31.099><c> to</c><00:38:31.300><c> put</c><00:38:31.400><c> us</c><00:38:31.619><c> together</c><00:38:31.920><c> in</c><00:38:32.119><c> ecclesia,</c><00:38:32.579><c> so</c><00:38:32.719><c> it</c>

00:38:32.780 --> 00:38:33.579
wasn't<00:38:33.039><c> our</c><00:38:33.280><c> idea,</c>

00:38:33.619 --> 00:38:35.900
we'd<00:38:33.960><c> probably</c><00:38:34.260><c> all</c><00:38:34.480><c> have</c><00:38:34.599><c> our</c><00:38:34.800><c> own</c><00:38:34.940><c> little</c><00:38:35.159><c> ecclesia</c><00:38:35.559><c> based</c>

00:38:35.900 --> 00:38:36.539
on<00:38:36.059><c> our</c><00:38:36.300><c> family,</c>

00:38:36.619 --> 00:38:38.639
everyone<00:38:37.059><c> thought</c><00:38:37.500><c> exactly</c><00:38:38.099><c> the</c><00:38:38.360><c> same.</c>

00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:42.320
Where<00:38:39.199><c> God</c><00:38:39.480><c> saw,</c><00:38:39.860><c> now</c><00:38:39.900><c> that's</c><00:38:40.139><c> not</c><00:38:40.440><c> the</c><00:38:40.579><c> way</c><00:38:40.760><c> to</c><00:38:40.980><c> achieve</c><00:38:41.300><c> character.</c>

00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:45.460
You've<00:38:43.079><c> got</c><00:38:43.219><c> to</c><00:38:43.440><c> be</c><00:38:43.579><c> in</c><00:38:43.719><c> these</c><00:38:43.960><c> circumstances</c><00:38:44.519><c> like</c><00:38:44.840><c> Nehemiah</c><00:38:45.199><c> was,</c>

00:38:45.460 --> 00:38:50.539
with<00:38:45.699><c> people</c><00:38:46.019><c> who</c><00:38:46.239><c> are</c><00:38:46.900><c> against</c><00:38:47.420><c> you</c><00:38:47.699><c> to</c><00:38:47.940><c> really</c><00:38:48.860><c> set</c><00:38:49.400><c> the</c><00:38:49.679><c> record</c><00:38:49.960><c> right</c><00:38:50.260><c> so</c>

00:38:50.539 --> 00:38:51.679
that<00:38:50.659><c> others</c><00:38:50.820><c> can</c><00:38:51.119><c> develop</c><00:38:51.400><c> on</c><00:38:51.579><c> it.</c>

00:38:51.699 --> 00:38:54.260
So<00:38:51.840><c> we</c><00:38:51.960><c> look</c><00:38:52.119><c> at</c><00:38:52.420><c> Nehemiah</c><00:38:52.820><c> and</c><00:38:53.019><c> we're</c><00:38:53.440><c> not</c><00:38:53.679><c> really</c><00:38:53.920><c> trying</c><00:38:54.119><c> to</c>

00:38:54.260 --> 00:38:55.480
be<00:38:54.539><c> historians</c><00:38:54.980><c> through</c><00:38:55.179><c> this,</c>

00:38:55.980 --> 00:38:56.980
that's<00:38:56.340><c> not</c><00:38:56.480><c> our</c><00:38:56.739><c> purpose.</c>

00:38:57.300 --> 00:39:00.059
Our<00:38:57.559><c> purpose</c><00:38:57.880><c> is</c><00:38:58.079><c> to</c><00:38:58.260><c> see</c><00:38:58.380><c> what</c><00:38:58.539><c> we</c><00:38:58.719><c> can</c><00:38:58.920><c> learn</c><00:38:59.099><c> from</c><00:38:59.280><c> his</c><00:38:59.579><c> life</c>

00:39:00.059 --> 00:39:03.019
so<00:39:00.599><c> that</c><00:39:00.780><c> we</c><00:39:00.880><c> can</c><00:39:01.059><c> be</c><00:39:01.300><c> better</c><00:39:01.579><c> in</c><00:39:01.760><c> our</c><00:39:01.940><c> own</c><00:39:02.139><c> life.</c>

00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:07.139
And<00:39:04.119><c> hence</c><00:39:04.539><c> that's</c><00:39:05.699><c> the</c><00:39:06.199><c> lessons</c><00:39:06.460><c> that</c><00:39:06.659><c> we're</c><00:39:06.840><c> following.</c>

00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:09.219
If<00:39:07.480><c> you</c><00:39:07.659><c> wanted</c><00:39:07.800><c> another</c><00:39:08.139><c> one</c><00:39:08.320><c> on</c><00:39:08.440><c> this,</c><00:39:08.579><c> I've</c><00:39:08.800><c> always</c><00:39:09.019><c> found</c>

00:39:09.219 --> 00:39:09.920
this<00:39:09.440><c> very</c><00:39:09.659><c> helpful,</c>

00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:19.480
is<00:39:10.079><c> in</c><00:39:10.239><c> Revelation</c><00:39:10.980><c> chapter</c><00:39:12.320><c> 2,</c><00:39:16.260><c> and</c><00:39:16.440><c> it's</c><00:39:16.800><c> talking</c><00:39:17.119><c> about</c><00:39:17.480><c> the</c><00:39:17.719><c> ecclesia</c><00:39:18.079><c> at</c><00:39:18.400><c> Thyatira.</c>

00:39:20.380 --> 00:39:23.320
Now<00:39:20.619><c> some</c><00:39:20.820><c> of</c><00:39:20.960><c> the</c><00:39:21.099><c> things</c><00:39:21.239><c> it</c><00:39:21.500><c> mentions</c><00:39:21.900><c> in</c><00:39:22.159><c> Thyatira,</c><00:39:23.039><c> you'd</c><00:39:23.199><c> say,</c>

00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:26.599
well<00:39:23.539><c> if</c><00:39:23.679><c> you've</c><00:39:23.760><c> got</c><00:39:23.840><c> a</c><00:39:23.920><c> woman</c><00:39:24.159><c> like</c><00:39:24.440><c> Jezebel</c><00:39:24.880><c> in</c><00:39:25.920><c> this</c><00:39:26.199><c> ecclesia,</c>

00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:29.420
why<00:39:26.840><c> not</c><00:39:27.039><c> move</c><00:39:27.539><c> to</c><00:39:27.739><c> the</c><00:39:27.880><c> one</c><00:39:28.019><c> just</c><00:39:28.260><c> down</c><00:39:28.500><c> the</c><00:39:28.699><c> road?</c>

00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:31.820
Well<00:39:30.440><c> there</c><00:39:30.920><c> isn't</c><00:39:31.139><c> any</c><00:39:31.400><c> of</c><00:39:31.579><c> that.</c>

00:39:32.139 --> 00:39:35.260
There's<00:39:32.519><c> never</c><00:39:32.820><c> advice</c><00:39:33.300><c> to</c><00:39:33.519><c> move</c><00:39:33.719><c> to</c><00:39:33.920><c> another</c><00:39:34.139><c> ecclesia</c><00:39:34.659><c> in</c><00:39:34.880><c> Revelation.</c>

00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:37.760
You<00:39:35.460><c> will</c><00:39:35.659><c> never</c><00:39:35.920><c> find</c><00:39:36.159><c> justification</c><00:39:36.880><c> for</c><00:39:37.139><c> that</c><00:39:37.400><c> there.</c>

00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:43.480
Although<00:39:38.820><c> when</c><00:39:39.559><c> ecclesias</c><00:39:39.940><c> are</c><00:39:40.079><c> very</c><00:39:40.440><c> close</c><00:39:40.659><c> together,</c><00:39:41.840><c> that's</c><00:39:42.340><c> a</c><00:39:42.980><c> possibility.</c>

00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:48.960
We<00:39:44.320><c> find</c><00:39:44.639><c> in</c><00:39:44.860><c> Shelburne,</c><00:39:45.300><c> I</c><00:39:45.639><c> don't</c><00:39:46.300><c> even</c><00:39:46.559><c> want</c><00:39:46.719><c> to</c><00:39:46.860><c> investigate</c><00:39:47.300><c> the</c><00:39:47.480><c> reasons</c><00:39:47.800><c> why</c><00:39:48.079><c> this</c><00:39:48.320><c> may</c><00:39:48.539><c> be</c><00:39:48.739><c> true,</c>

00:39:49.019 --> 00:39:52.119
but<00:39:49.579><c> we</c><00:39:49.880><c> have</c><00:39:50.019><c> people</c><00:39:50.320><c> that</c><00:39:50.480><c> live</c><00:39:50.599><c> across</c><00:39:51.019><c> the</c><00:39:51.239><c> road</c><00:39:51.539><c> from</c><00:39:51.940><c> the</c>

ecclesia<00:39:52.400><c> and</c><00:39:52.500><c> go</c><00:39:52.579><c> to</c><00:39:52.699><c> a</c><00:39:52.780><c> different</c><00:39:52.980><c> ecclesia.</c>

00:39:55.260 --> 00:39:58.239
Those<00:39:55.579><c> kinds</c><00:39:55.860><c> of</c><00:39:56.019><c> things</c><00:39:56.219><c> really</c><00:39:56.659><c> puzzle</c><00:39:56.980><c> you</c><00:39:57.199><c> at</c><00:39:57.380><c> times.</c>

00:39:58.260 --> 00:40:02.460
But<00:39:58.500><c> nevertheless,</c><00:39:59.539><c> what</c><00:39:59.659><c> he</c><00:39:59.840><c> says</c><00:40:00.079><c> here</c><00:40:00.659><c> is</c><00:40:01.159><c> in</c><00:40:01.300><c> verse</c><00:40:01.480><c> 24,</c>

00:40:06.820 --> 00:40:23.739
Now<00:40:07.500><c> you've</c><00:40:07.920><c> got</c><00:40:19.059><c> to</c><00:40:22.619><c> remember</c><00:40:22.900><c> that.</c>

00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:26.480
Nehemiah<00:40:24.539><c> must</c><00:40:24.840><c> have</c><00:40:24.980><c> had</c><00:40:25.119><c> to</c><00:40:25.300><c> remember</c><00:40:25.639><c> that</c><00:40:25.920><c> from</c><00:40:26.139><c> something</c>

00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:29.480
or<00:40:26.900><c> have</c><00:40:27.139><c> come</c><00:40:27.500><c> to</c><00:40:27.699><c> that</c><00:40:27.920><c> understanding</c><00:40:28.380><c> that</c><00:40:28.940><c> you</c><00:40:29.239><c> don't</c>

00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:30.500
abandon<00:40:30.099><c> ship</c>

00:40:30.500 --> 00:40:34.079
because<00:40:31.079><c> everyone</c><00:40:31.460><c> doesn't</c><00:40:32.179><c> agree</c><00:40:32.440><c> with</c><00:40:32.619><c> you</c><00:40:32.739><c> and</c><00:40:32.780><c> you're</c><00:40:32.940><c> getting</c><00:40:33.119><c> all</c><00:40:33.380><c> this</c><00:40:33.659><c> kind</c><00:40:33.900><c> of</c>

00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:34.579
bad<00:40:34.199><c> advice</c>

00:40:34.579 --> 00:40:36.260

00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:38.500
You've<00:40:36.800><c> got</c><00:40:36.800><c> to</c><00:40:36.920><c> remember</c><00:40:37.239><c> what</c><00:40:37.460><c> you</c><00:40:37.699><c> said.</c>

00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:42.159
God<00:40:38.840><c> was</c><00:40:39.239><c> with</c><00:40:39.480><c> me</c><00:40:39.920><c> to</c><00:40:40.199><c> bring</c><00:40:40.360><c> me</c><00:40:40.559><c> to</c><00:40:40.760><c> this</c><00:40:41.119><c> point.</c>

00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:45.900

If<00:40:56.019><c> I</c><00:40:56.179><c> had</c><00:40:56.340><c> to</c><00:40:56.559><c> wait</c><00:40:56.760><c> until</c><00:40:57.139><c> I</c><00:40:57.340><c> could</c><00:40:57.579><c> see</c><00:40:57.739><c> the</c><00:40:58.019><c> circumstances</c>

00:40:58.619 --> 00:40:59.219
were<00:40:58.980><c> right</c>

00:40:59.219 --> 00:41:00.960
and<00:40:59.400><c> the</c><00:40:59.460><c> king</c><00:40:59.659><c> would</c><00:40:59.880><c> be</c><00:41:00.119><c> favorable</c><00:41:00.500><c> to</c><00:41:00.719><c> me,</c>

00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:03.360
then<00:41:01.300><c> maybe</c><00:41:01.679><c> it's</c><00:41:01.900><c> just</c><00:41:02.139><c> a</c><00:41:02.159><c> matter</c><00:41:02.360><c> of</c><00:41:02.500><c> waiting</c><00:41:02.800><c> until</c><00:41:03.199><c> the</c>

00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:04.059
right<00:41:03.639><c> time</c>

00:41:04.059 --> 00:41:05.780
and<00:41:04.480><c> we</c><00:41:04.639><c> can</c><00:41:04.800><c> move</c><00:41:05.019><c> to</c><00:41:05.199><c> the</c><00:41:05.320><c> next</c><00:41:05.539><c> step.</c>

00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:09.260
I<00:41:06.000><c> think</c><00:41:06.179><c> that's</c><00:41:06.420><c> very,</c><00:41:06.739><c> very</c><00:41:06.980><c> critical</c><00:41:07.380><c> in</c><00:41:08.179><c> our</c><00:41:08.360><c> life.</c>

00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:16.039
Now<00:41:11.360><c> this</c><00:41:11.639><c> man,</c><00:41:12.579><c> Eliashib,</c><00:41:13.219><c> we</c><00:41:13.440><c> meet</c><00:41:13.659><c> him</c><00:41:13.880><c> in</c><00:41:14.019><c> Nehemiah</c><00:41:14.519><c> chapter</c><00:41:14.960><c> 13</c>

00:41:16.059 --> 00:41:22.119
and<00:41:16.300><c> probably</c><00:41:17.000><c> the</c><00:41:17.260><c> critical</c><00:41:17.659><c> part</c><00:41:17.940><c> of</c><00:41:18.099><c> his</c><00:41:18.840><c> influence</c><00:41:19.500><c> at</c><00:41:19.840><c> the</c><00:41:19.980><c> time</c><00:41:20.119><c> of</c><00:41:20.239><c> Nehemiah.</c>

00:41:22.219 --> 00:41:25.340
And<00:41:22.699><c> I</c><00:41:23.179><c> wrestled</c><00:41:23.780><c> with</c><00:41:24.000><c> this</c><00:41:24.199><c> and</c><00:41:24.320><c> I'm</c><00:41:24.460><c> sure</c><00:41:24.639><c> anyone</c><00:41:25.019><c> who</c><00:41:25.219><c> has</c>

00:41:25.340 --> 00:41:27.539

00:41:27.820 --> 00:41:31.800
coming<00:41:28.440><c> to</c><00:41:28.699><c> chapter</c><00:41:29.099><c> 13</c><00:41:29.619><c> is</c><00:41:29.940><c> really</c><00:41:30.320><c> puzzled</c><00:41:30.719><c> over</c><00:41:31.000><c> how</c><00:41:31.480><c> this</c>

00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:33.340
could<00:41:32.059><c> ever</c><00:41:32.400><c> happen.</c>

00:41:33.579 --> 00:41:36.139
This<00:41:33.840><c> man</c><00:41:34.199><c> is</c><00:41:34.500><c> the</c><00:41:34.739><c> man</c><00:41:34.960><c> who</c><00:41:35.199><c> is</c><00:41:35.460><c> the</c><00:41:35.659><c> high</c><00:41:35.900><c> priest.</c>

00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:40.260
So<00:41:36.500><c> he,</c><00:41:37.219><c> in</c><00:41:37.280><c> terms</c><00:41:37.539><c> of</c><00:41:37.719><c> the</c><00:41:38.000><c> spiritual</c><00:41:38.380><c> leadership</c><00:41:38.820><c> of</c><00:41:39.440><c> the</c><00:41:39.719><c> city</c><00:41:40.039><c> or</c>

00:41:43.059 --> 00:41:48.139

00:42:27.300 --> 00:42:29.699
that<00:42:27.900><c> Eliashib</c><00:42:28.460><c> did</c><00:42:28.739><c> for</c><00:42:29.099><c> Tobiah,</c>

00:42:39.099 --> 00:42:41.820
I<00:42:39.139><c> mean,</c><00:42:39.360><c> it's</c><00:42:40.119><c> just</c><00:42:40.619><c> sort</c><00:42:40.800><c> of</c><00:42:40.920><c> imagining</c><00:42:41.179><c> that</c><00:42:41.480><c> happened,</c>

00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:45.380
that<00:42:42.460><c> he</c><00:42:42.699><c> was</c><00:42:42.980><c> very</c><00:42:43.280><c> upset</c><00:42:43.579><c> with</c><00:42:43.800><c> this</c><00:42:44.019><c> and</c><00:42:44.219><c> just,</c><00:42:44.800><c> you</c><00:42:44.980><c> know,</c>

00:42:45.380 --> 00:42:48.920
I<00:42:45.679><c> don't</c><00:42:45.900><c> know</c><00:42:46.059><c> if</c><00:42:46.159><c> it</c><00:42:46.280><c> was</c><00:42:46.659><c> a</c><00:42:46.820><c> fit</c><00:42:46.900><c> of</c><00:42:47.599><c> anger</c><00:42:47.940><c> or</c><00:42:48.119><c> whatever</c><00:42:48.420><c> it</c><00:42:48.559><c> was,</c>

00:42:48.920 --> 00:42:52.039
but<00:42:49.360><c> it</c><00:42:51.099><c> would</c><00:42:51.239><c> have</c><00:42:51.320><c> been</c><00:42:51.420><c> something</c><00:42:51.639><c> to</c><00:42:51.840><c> watch,</c>

00:42:52.139 --> 00:42:53.539
to<00:42:52.239><c> see</c><00:42:52.300><c> him</c><00:42:52.380><c> doing</c><00:42:52.579><c> that.</c>

00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:55.639
But<00:42:54.559><c> what</c><00:42:54.739><c> had</c><00:42:54.940><c> Eliashib</c><00:42:55.360><c> done?</c>

00:42:55.860 --> 00:42:58.639
Like,<00:42:56.000><c> Eliashib</c><00:42:56.500><c> was</c><00:42:56.679><c> one</c><00:42:56.840><c> of</c><00:42:56.920><c> the</c><00:42:57.059><c> builders</c><00:42:57.300><c> on</c><00:42:57.500><c> the</c><00:42:57.619><c> wall.</c>

00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:00.539

00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:02.519
So<00:43:00.900><c> you</c><00:43:01.159><c> couldn't</c><00:43:01.460><c> fault</c><00:43:01.739><c> him</c><00:43:01.880><c> for</c><00:43:02.099><c> that.</c>

00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:04.119
And<00:43:03.059><c> it</c><00:43:03.159><c> would</c><00:43:03.260><c> have</c><00:43:03.360><c> been</c><00:43:03.460><c> a</c><00:43:03.599><c> good</c><00:43:03.739><c> example.</c>

00:43:04.139 --> 00:43:06.320
In<00:43:04.280><c> fact,</c><00:43:04.500><c> I</c><00:43:04.679><c> think</c><00:43:04.860><c> really</c><00:43:05.159><c> that</c><00:43:05.360><c> he</c><00:43:05.519><c> was</c><00:43:05.699><c> the</c><00:43:05.900><c> first</c><00:43:06.119><c> one.</c>

00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:08.300
So<00:43:06.559><c> he</c><00:43:06.820><c> gave</c><00:43:07.079><c> that</c><00:43:07.360><c> leadership.</c>

00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:12.400
But<00:43:08.940><c> then</c><00:43:09.199><c> he</c><00:43:09.519><c> caved</c><00:43:09.820><c> in</c><00:43:10.340><c> on</c><00:43:10.820><c> this</c><00:43:11.079><c> aspect</c><00:43:11.460><c> of</c><00:43:11.639><c> it.</c>

00:43:12.739 --> 00:43:14.440
So<00:43:13.000><c> where</c><00:43:13.179><c> was</c><00:43:13.360><c> the</c><00:43:13.559><c> weakness?</c>

00:43:15.019 --> 00:43:20.639
Well,<00:43:15.960><c> how</c><00:43:16.260><c> was</c><00:43:16.619><c> it</c><00:43:17.880><c> that</c><00:43:18.199><c> he</c><00:43:18.440><c> became</c><00:43:19.079><c> allied</c><00:43:19.639><c> with</c><00:43:20.099><c> Tobiah?</c>

00:43:20.739 --> 00:43:21.900
That's<00:43:21.139><c> the</c><00:43:21.360><c> key</c><00:43:21.599><c> thing.</c>

00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:25.880
Verse<00:43:22.179><c> 4,</c><00:43:23.659><c> and</c><00:43:23.880><c> was</c><00:43:24.179><c> allied</c><00:43:24.659><c> unto</c><00:43:25.260><c> Tobiah.</c>

00:43:25.940 --> 00:43:28.500
Well,<00:43:26.260><c> it</c><00:43:26.300><c> was</c><00:43:26.599><c> with</c><00:43:26.840><c> a</c><00:43:27.099><c> marriage</c><00:43:27.480><c> alliance.</c>

00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:31.860
His<00:43:29.039><c> son,</c><00:43:29.539><c> his</c><00:43:29.800><c> daughter,</c><00:43:30.760><c> you</c><00:43:30.820><c> know,</c><00:43:30.940><c> those</c><00:43:31.199><c> kinds</c><00:43:31.460><c> of</c><00:43:31.639><c> things</c>

00:43:31.860 --> 00:43:35.639
where<00:43:32.460><c> people</c><00:43:32.920><c> who</c><00:43:33.219><c> may</c><00:43:33.360><c> at</c><00:43:33.579><c> one</c><00:43:33.880><c> time</c><00:43:34.079><c> have</c><00:43:34.260><c> been</c><00:43:34.400><c> very</c><00:43:34.900><c> strong</c><00:43:35.119><c> on</c><00:43:35.280><c> an</c><00:43:35.440><c> issue</c>

00:43:35.639 --> 00:43:37.840
all<00:43:35.900><c> of</c><00:43:36.000><c> a</c><00:43:36.139><c> sudden</c><00:43:36.400><c> because</c><00:43:36.760><c> of</c><00:43:36.960><c> a</c><00:43:37.119><c> marriage</c><00:43:37.400><c> problem</c>

00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:41.619
are<00:43:38.239><c> no</c><00:43:38.500><c> longer</c><00:43:38.920><c> that</c><00:43:40.099><c> sort</c><00:43:40.360><c> of</c><00:43:40.699><c> conservative</c><00:43:41.159><c> bastion</c>

00:43:41.619 --> 00:43:42.860
they<00:43:41.920><c> were</c><00:43:42.119><c> at</c><00:43:42.300><c> one</c><00:43:42.539><c> time.</c>

00:43:42.860 --> 00:43:45.079
And<00:43:43.280><c> now</c><00:43:43.480><c> they've</c><00:43:43.719><c> changed</c><00:43:43.980><c> their</c><00:43:44.199><c> mind</c><00:43:44.340><c> on</c><00:43:44.519><c> these</c><00:43:44.699><c> issues</c>

00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:47.119
and<00:43:45.300><c> become</c><00:43:45.579><c> much</c><00:43:45.860><c> more</c><00:43:46.119><c> liberal.</c>

00:43:48.119 --> 00:43:51.039
But<00:43:48.440><c> it</c><00:43:48.760><c> seems</c><00:43:49.000><c> that</c><00:43:49.239><c> Eliashib</c><00:43:49.679><c> couldn't</c><00:43:49.980><c> handle</c><00:43:50.480><c> it</c><00:43:50.760><c> at</c><00:43:50.940><c> all.</c>

00:43:51.099 --> 00:43:54.159
In<00:43:51.199><c> other</c><00:43:51.340><c> words,</c><00:43:51.559><c> he'd</c><00:43:51.860><c> married</c><00:43:52.000><c> into</c><00:43:52.260><c> a</c><00:43:52.500><c> family</c><00:43:52.860><c> where</c><00:43:53.719><c> Tobiah,</c>

00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:56.820
a<00:43:54.380><c> much</c><00:43:54.500><c> stronger</c><00:43:54.900><c> person,</c><00:43:55.519><c> much</c><00:43:55.699><c> stronger</c><00:43:56.159><c> personality,</c>

00:43:57.239 --> 00:43:59.539
knew<00:43:57.440><c> what</c><00:43:57.599><c> he</c><00:43:57.840><c> wanted,</c><00:43:58.199><c> was</c><00:43:58.420><c> going</c><00:43:58.579><c> to</c><00:43:58.780><c> achieve</c><00:43:58.980><c> it</c><00:43:59.179><c> one</c><00:43:59.360><c> way</c>

00:43:59.539 --> 00:44:00.440
or<00:43:59.719><c> another.</c>

00:44:00.739 --> 00:44:06.000
So<00:44:01.119><c> he</c><00:44:01.460><c> talked</c><00:44:01.840><c> Eliashib</c><00:44:02.519><c> into</c><00:44:03.280><c> getting</c><00:44:04.019><c> rid</c><00:44:04.480><c> of</c><00:44:05.280><c> the</c><00:44:05.480><c> very</c><00:44:05.739><c> means</c>

00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:09.000
of<00:44:06.300><c> sustaining</c><00:44:06.659><c> the</c><00:44:07.059><c> spiritual</c><00:44:07.619><c> high</c><00:44:08.159><c> in</c><00:44:08.519><c> Israel</c>

00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:12.300
that<00:44:09.320><c> was</c><00:44:09.539><c> to</c><00:44:10.239><c> provide</c><00:44:10.840><c> for</c><00:44:11.119><c> the</c><00:44:11.260><c> Levites</c><00:44:11.599><c> so</c><00:44:11.820><c> they</c><00:44:11.920><c> could</c><00:44:12.119><c> do</c>

00:44:12.300 --> 00:44:13.460
their<00:44:12.519><c> job.</c>

00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:15.360
If<00:44:14.219><c> there</c><00:44:14.400><c> was</c><00:44:14.539><c> no</c><00:44:14.780><c> food</c><00:44:15.000><c> for</c><00:44:15.219><c> them,</c>

00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:18.059
they<00:44:15.500><c> had</c><00:44:15.699><c> to</c><00:44:15.820><c> get</c><00:44:15.980><c> back</c><00:44:16.179><c> to</c><00:44:16.380><c> their</c><00:44:16.539><c> land</c><00:44:16.820><c> and</c><00:44:17.460><c> start</c><00:44:17.780><c> working</c>

00:44:18.059 --> 00:44:18.460
the<00:44:18.300><c> land</c>

00:44:18.460 --> 00:44:20.219
so<00:44:18.619><c> they</c><00:44:18.739><c> had</c><00:44:18.900><c> enough</c><00:44:19.280><c> food</c><00:44:19.619><c> to</c><00:44:19.860><c> survive</c>

00:44:20.219 --> 00:44:23.000
and<00:44:20.340><c> they</c><00:44:20.559><c> couldn't</c><00:44:20.880><c> put</c><00:44:21.059><c> their</c><00:44:21.280><c> time</c><00:44:21.440><c> on</c><00:44:21.739><c> spiritual</c><00:44:22.079><c> things.</c>

00:44:23.699 --> 00:44:26.239
So<00:44:23.960><c> it</c><00:44:24.260><c> stifled</c><00:44:24.860><c> the</c><00:44:25.300><c> spiritual</c><00:44:25.719><c> development.</c>

00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:30.400
In<00:44:26.500><c> just</c><00:44:26.800><c> a</c><00:44:27.079><c> few</c><00:44:27.280><c> years</c><00:44:27.699><c> that</c><00:44:27.940><c> Nehemiah</c><00:44:28.300><c> was</c><00:44:28.559><c> away,</c><00:44:29.239><c> this</c><00:44:29.480><c> happened.</c>

00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:35.559
You<00:44:30.679><c> can</c><00:44:30.880><c> understand</c><00:44:31.900><c> how</c><00:44:32.960><c> difficult</c><00:44:34.639><c> it</c><00:44:34.820><c> was</c><00:44:34.960><c> for</c><00:44:35.119><c> him</c><00:44:35.280><c> to</c>

00:44:35.559 --> 00:44:36.179
handle<00:44:35.679><c> it.</c>

00:44:36.179 --> 00:44:40.360
Now,<00:44:37.860><c> the</c><00:44:38.119><c> seeds</c><00:44:38.360><c> of</c><00:44:38.619><c> this</c><00:44:38.880><c> are</c><00:44:39.139><c> back</c><00:44:39.460><c> in</c><00:44:39.639><c> another</c><00:44:39.900><c> chapter.</c>

00:44:40.460 --> 00:44:44.219
If<00:44:40.599><c> you</c><00:44:40.659><c> go</c><00:44:40.820><c> back</c><00:44:41.219><c> to</c><00:44:41.460><c> Nehemiah</c><00:44:41.920><c> chapter</c><00:44:42.679><c> 10,</c>

00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:50.239
you<00:44:45.639><c> would</c><00:44:45.900><c> expect</c><00:44:46.360><c> to</c><00:44:46.719><c> see</c><00:44:47.380><c> that</c><00:44:48.440><c> the</c><00:44:48.840><c> people</c><00:44:49.159><c> who</c><00:44:49.659><c> sealed</c><00:44:49.960><c> to</c>

the<00:44:50.460><c> covenant,</c>

00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:54.679
in<00:44:51.099><c> other</c><00:44:51.260><c> words,</c><00:44:51.900><c> they</c><00:44:52.380><c> attested</c><00:44:53.320><c> that</c><00:44:53.659><c> the</c><00:44:53.860><c> covenant</c><00:44:54.239><c> that</c>

00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:55.699
Nehemiah<00:44:55.179><c> set</c><00:44:55.460><c> up</c>

00:44:55.699 --> 00:44:58.760
of<00:44:55.820><c> what</c><00:44:55.980><c> they</c><00:44:56.179><c> would</c><00:44:56.380><c> do,</c><00:44:57.519><c> pledging</c><00:44:57.840><c> themselves</c><00:44:58.260><c> to</c><00:44:58.559><c> carry</c>

00:45:00.019 --> 00:45:02.280
one<00:45:00.199><c> of</c><00:45:00.320><c> the</c><00:45:00.480><c> names</c><00:45:00.639><c> you</c><00:45:00.780><c> would</c><00:45:01.079><c> find</c><00:45:01.260><c> on</c><00:45:01.420><c> the</c><00:45:01.539><c> very</c><00:45:01.820><c> top</c><00:45:02.019><c> would</c>

00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:09.280
But<00:45:05.619><c> you</c><00:45:05.920><c> find</c><00:45:06.460><c> it</c><00:45:07.059><c> was</c><00:45:07.320><c> Nehemiah,</c><00:45:08.559><c> that</c><00:45:08.739><c> Tershatha,</c>

00:45:13.179 --> 00:45:16.019

00:45:16.239 --> 00:45:19.300
Why<00:45:16.800><c> wouldn't</c><00:45:17.260><c> this</c><00:45:17.860><c> priest</c><00:45:18.480><c> do</c><00:45:19.000><c> this?</c>

00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:22.880
He<00:45:20.280><c> provided</c><00:45:20.840><c> leadership</c><00:45:21.380><c> in</c><00:45:21.579><c> being</c><00:45:21.739><c> one</c><00:45:21.940><c> of</c><00:45:22.019><c> the</c><00:45:22.199><c> first</c><00:45:22.420><c> people</c><00:45:22.699><c> to</c>

Like,<00:47:56.820><c> this</c><00:47:56.920><c> is</c><00:47:57.119><c> an</c><00:47:57.219><c> aspect</c><00:47:57.619><c> of</c><00:47:57.960><c> parenting</c><00:47:58.260><c> you</c><00:47:58.460><c> don't</c><00:47:58.820><c> see</c>

In<00:48:42.559><c> fact,</c><00:48:42.960><c> it</c><00:48:42.960><c> would</c><00:48:43.079><c> be</c><00:48:43.260><c> better</c><00:48:43.500><c> if</c><00:48:44.500><c> the</c><00:48:44.840><c> children</c><00:48:45.440><c> coming</c><00:48:45.820><c> up</c>
