00:00:02,300 –> 00:00:05,100
Today’s Wednesday, July 7th
2010.

2
00:00:05,100 –> 00:00:07,800
Attributes required will score.
Our brother.

3
00:00:07,800 –> 00:00:10,800
Matt noren will be speaking to
us on the subject of the life of

4
00:00:10,800 –> 00:00:13,200
lat.
Today’s class is entitled

5
00:00:13,200 –> 00:00:25,300
captivity.
How’s it going guys?

6
00:00:26,900 –> 00:00:30,500
This fresh.
What have to check it, huh?

7
00:00:33,200 –> 00:00:35,400
Such a long walk.
It should take a pack lunch

8
00:00:35,700 –> 00:00:39,400
between here and there.
I’m gonna be mate, not made it.

9
00:00:39,600 –> 00:00:44,000
Hey Vic ezel do.
Oh you don’t know.

10
00:00:44,000 –> 00:00:48,500
Biscuits are idea cookies I
meant Okay.

11
00:00:48,500 –> 00:00:49,800
So did you want to see that
slide?

12
00:00:49,800 –> 00:00:50,800
I was talking about the other
day.

13
00:00:50,800 –> 00:00:55,000
What did I tell you about
advertising?

14
00:00:56,100 –> 00:00:57,500
What’d I tell you about
advertising?

15
00:01:01,100 –> 00:01:05,300
Yeah, and is anybody here still
under the belief that it doesn’t

16
00:01:05,300 –> 00:01:09,000
really do anything for to them?
As if it motivates me?

17
00:01:09,700 –> 00:01:13,000
Has anybody ever just bought
something at the checkout that’s

18
00:01:13,000 –> 00:01:16,700
just within arm’s length, just
their point-of-sale me and

19
00:01:16,700 –> 00:01:20,700
that’s that’s there for you.
If it was a 5 feet away you

20
00:01:20,700 –> 00:01:24,900
wouldn’t walk together.
They know we’re inherently lazy.

21
00:01:30,600 –> 00:01:33,500
That’s how we work and they
cater for that.

22
00:01:34,200 –> 00:01:37,100
And as a motivation to make you
walk a little further, they

23
00:01:37,100 –> 00:01:41,200
drive your last state.
Get you fired up so that when

24
00:01:41,200 –> 00:01:43,500
you at the shopping mall and
you’ve got your wallet and

25
00:01:43,500 –> 00:01:46,500
there’s money in it, you’ll
spend it on anything, anything

26
00:01:46,500 –> 00:01:49,200
at all.
And the product that’s the

27
00:01:49,200 –> 00:01:52,000
topmost in your mind.
When you feel like opening your

28
00:01:52,008 –> 00:01:56,200
wallet to spend, that’s get that
one there gets the money, that’s

29
00:01:56,200 –> 00:02:01,000
how they work that devious just
flipping through a magazine.

30
00:02:01,000 –> 00:02:03,400
As I said, there’s nothing more
about this magazine whoopsie.

31
00:02:03,400 –> 00:02:09,400
It was just a it was just a
house and Garden Magazine,

32
00:02:10,300 –> 00:02:14,900
there’s nothing major It did
surprise me a little bit.

33
00:02:19,000 –> 00:02:23,700
There it is.
Stanley has extended his family.

34
00:02:25,400 –> 00:02:31,000
now, before you even think about
just think, About that title

35
00:02:31,000 –> 00:02:34,900
Stanley has extended his family,
is that the most ridiculous

36
00:02:35,700 –> 00:02:41,600
title.
Or fries, the put at the top of

37
00:02:41,600 –> 00:02:47,100
an advertisement.
Is it eye-catching?

38
00:02:48,400 –> 00:02:49,300
Is it something?
Which you go?

39
00:02:49,300 –> 00:02:53,000
Hey, that’s got, you know,
that’s a lie like that I could

40
00:02:53,000 –> 00:02:56,600
sing to that Stanley has
extended his family you know, as

41
00:02:56,600 –> 00:03:02,900
is it a catchy tune?
It’s visual highly visual.

42
00:03:02,900 –> 00:03:07,000
Can you see anything in there?
Yeah, look at it.

43
00:03:09,700 –> 00:03:13,100
Now, as I said, I got this
verified by a top agency at

44
00:03:13,100 –> 00:03:17,600
agency so it’s not just me.
Move that.

45
00:03:19,300 –> 00:03:24,000
The font has been deliberately
and carefully set up and you

46
00:03:24,000 –> 00:03:27,000
might think no way.
But, you know, if you wrote that

47
00:03:27,300 –> 00:03:31,300
any other way, that would take
away that would detract from the

48
00:03:31,300 –> 00:03:34,700
way they’re set it up there.
So that you’re and you’re not

49
00:03:34,700 –> 00:03:36,100
meant to consciously, be aware
of it.

50
00:03:36,100 –> 00:03:40,000
By the way, unconsciously,
that’s meant to work your brain.

51
00:03:40,000 –> 00:03:45,100
Just it is it quickly. so, with
something that people in this

52
00:03:45,100 –> 00:03:51,000
world often, think about sex, is
now linked, Stanley Rogers in

53
00:03:51,000 –> 00:03:53,900
this sort of Cutlery stuff like
a guy through the rest of it

54
00:03:53,900 –> 00:04:00,000
there but I’m not going to The
whole tenor is carried all the

55
00:04:00,000 –> 00:04:03,100
way down, that’s what they’re
thinking of and used.

56
00:04:03,300 –> 00:04:04,500
Do you ask yourself the
question?

57
00:04:04,500 –> 00:04:07,300
As I do, what has sex got to do
with?

58
00:04:08,900 –> 00:04:13,000
Cutlery.
Yeah, but that’s what

59
00:04:13,000 –> 00:04:16,300
advertising does.
That’s what emotionalism is.

60
00:04:16,300 –> 00:04:20,100
It’s irrational.
It’s not logical natural.

61
00:04:20,200 –> 00:04:23,900
Rational, link or leap, it’s
irrational.

62
00:04:24,100 –> 00:04:25,300
Why would you spend your money
on that?

63
00:04:25,300 –> 00:04:26,700
Why’d you buy that for?
I don’t know.

64
00:04:26,700 –> 00:04:30,700
I just felt like it.
It’s feeling based all the time

65
00:04:30,700 –> 00:04:33,500
is just feeling base.
There’s no rationality in it in

66
00:04:33,500 –> 00:04:36,600
at all, guys.
So I’m not going to show you

67
00:04:36,600 –> 00:04:40,200
that and please don’t anyone
argue about.

68
00:04:40,600 –> 00:04:41,900
That’s just an act.
Accident.

69
00:04:43,300 –> 00:04:45,300
That’s like, if you believe
that’s an accident that means

70
00:04:45,300 –> 00:04:48,700
you believe in evolution is an
accident because that’s

71
00:04:48,700 –> 00:04:51,700
carefully created and planned.
It didn’t just happen.

72
00:04:52,700 –> 00:04:54,900
The reason why Memphis I’m
getting sick to death of

73
00:04:54,900 –> 00:04:57,800
immature, naive, people coming
up to me and saying, oh, that’s

74
00:04:57,800 –> 00:05:00,100
just an accident.
It’s not an accident.

75
00:05:01,400 –> 00:05:06,000
It took a lot of planning and a
lot of money to set that out.

76
00:05:08,000 –> 00:05:10,600
That’s incredible.
And the reason why they did a

77
00:05:10,608 –> 00:05:13,700
lot of those because they know
we ticked like that naturally

78
00:05:14,100 –> 00:05:16,700
and that’s unfortunate but
that’s the way we are.

79
00:05:17,100 –> 00:05:19,300
And I want you to be aware of it
young people because when you

80
00:05:19,300 –> 00:05:23,800
get, you know, what unit you’re
going to go to what clothes do

81
00:05:23,800 –> 00:05:26,900
you wear so many feeling?
Based think this is me, this is

82
00:05:26,900 –> 00:05:30,700
my style, it’s only feeling
based one day, you might feel

83
00:05:30,700 –> 00:05:33,000
the word.
If something different, you wear

84
00:05:33,000 –> 00:05:35,200
clothes that make you feel good
and it’s all it is.

85
00:05:36,000 –> 00:05:38,900
Very hardly any practicality
goes in it at all.

86
00:05:40,500 –> 00:05:43,400
For example, has anybody ever
warned heels like this?

87
00:05:46,300 –> 00:05:50,400
Are they practical?
Why do people wear them feeling

88
00:05:50,400 –> 00:05:51,500
base?
That’s all it is.

89
00:05:51,500 –> 00:05:55,300
The rational guys.
So, I thought I’d show you that.

90
00:05:56,300 –> 00:05:59,800
And now, as we get on to
Janice’s, where do we leave?

91
00:05:59,800 –> 00:06:02,500
Abraham where do we leave
Abraham?

92
00:06:04,800 –> 00:06:07,600
And Isaac.
Is it Isaac?

93
00:06:11,500 –> 00:06:14,400
No one’s making any any
movement, you know, I did Uncle

94
00:06:14,400 –> 00:06:17,700
Bob, tell you how he sometimes
is silly with people and he says

95
00:06:17,700 –> 00:06:20,300
something that doesn’t even make
any sense, just to see if

96
00:06:20,300 –> 00:06:23,300
they’re listening.
Uncle Bob, tell you that.

97
00:06:24,800 –> 00:06:28,800
Like he said, he he was down
with his little kids once at the

98
00:06:28,800 –> 00:06:31,400
shopping mall, when they were
younger and this lady comes up

99
00:06:31,500 –> 00:06:33,900
and people glaze over the, you
know, the ask how you going?

100
00:06:34,300 –> 00:06:36,200
And you say, yeah, good, I did
this, and this and they go.

101
00:06:36,200 –> 00:06:39,400
Okay, And I walk away that even
want to know how you’re going.

102
00:06:39,400 –> 00:06:41,300
They just say that out of
politeness.

103
00:06:41,300 –> 00:06:44,500
So this little this woman says,
or they beautiful, lovely little

104
00:06:44,500 –> 00:06:47,000
children.
How old are they far apart?

105
00:06:47,300 –> 00:06:49,300
And he says, yeah, they’re six
months apart.

106
00:06:50,300 –> 00:06:52,300
And she goes, that’s nice and
just kept walking.

107
00:06:54,200 –> 00:06:58,100
Didn’t even register.
So as I said, where do we leave

108
00:06:58,100 –> 00:07:04,000
Abraham and Isaac, That’s right,
you fool Matt.

109
00:07:04,000 –> 00:07:07,500
It’s lat we left lat.
What are you talking about?

110
00:07:08,300 –> 00:07:10,500
What are you talking?
Okay, so we left them.

111
00:07:10,800 –> 00:07:13,600
It was pretty dramatic in the
way and it was very sorry, sort

112
00:07:13,600 –> 00:07:16,600
of State because lots of covered
us and they’re striving and

113
00:07:16,600 –> 00:07:19,200
fighting and lots.
Now going to make choices, which

114
00:07:19,200 –> 00:07:22,200
are going to change his life.
And when we come to chapter 14,

115
00:07:22,200 –> 00:07:24,900
we’re going to have.
Did you know, this was the first

116
00:07:24,900 –> 00:07:28,400
war in the whole Bible in
chapter 14 of Genesis the first

117
00:07:28,400 –> 00:07:31,100
war.
There’s enmity here and there’s

118
00:07:31,100 –> 00:07:35,800
enemies which have to be opposed
and Abraham’s going to oppose

119
00:07:35,800 –> 00:07:36,900
them.
You know why Abraham’s going to

120
00:07:36,907 –> 00:07:39,700
oppose them?
Abraham’s going to fight is

121
00:07:39,707 –> 00:07:44,100
going to as you have, you guys
ever seen a picture of Abraham

122
00:07:44,300 –> 00:07:47,700
in the Sunday school books?
What does he look like?

123
00:07:52,200 –> 00:07:55,900
He’s going to be.
Looks old.

124
00:07:57,700 –> 00:08:02,400
Have you ever seen him portrayed
with a sword and covered in

125
00:08:02,400 –> 00:08:06,000
blood?
This is the picture of the

126
00:08:06,000 –> 00:08:08,300
Abraham.
The father of the faithful in

127
00:08:08,300 –> 00:08:11,800
chapter 14.
This is him teacher this.

128
00:08:11,800 –> 00:08:13,100
He’s going to stand up for the
truth.

129
00:08:13,100 –> 00:08:15,500
Why is he going fight?
Well, first of all, he’s the

130
00:08:15,500 –> 00:08:20,000
father of the faithful and as a
father, you got to stand up to

131
00:08:20,000 –> 00:08:22,800
protect the kids at your own
Peril.

132
00:08:22,800 –> 00:08:24,600
You’ll do anything to protect
your children.

133
00:08:25,800 –> 00:08:31,400
He’s going to save lat his son
in the faith plus as the father.

134
00:08:31,900 –> 00:08:36,299
He’s also the name Bearer and
he’s got to stand up and fight

135
00:08:36,299 –> 00:08:39,500
for the family name.
What’s the name that he bears?

136
00:08:41,900 –> 00:08:44,200
The name of God exactly he’s got
the name of God.

137
00:08:44,700 –> 00:08:49,000
Yahweh and there’s this
opposition that’s coming to the

138
00:08:49,000 –> 00:08:52,800
land now who are actually
proclaiming another name and

139
00:08:52,800 –> 00:08:57,400
building ranks for another name
which opposes God and Abraham’s

140
00:08:57,400 –> 00:09:01,400
there’s no way I’ve got to fight
for the truth.

141
00:09:02,400 –> 00:09:03,800
And he’s going to stand up for
the night.

142
00:09:03,900 –> 00:09:07,400
And also, we may have time to
have a look at because he’s a

143
00:09:07,400 –> 00:09:12,100
Hebrew.
And Hebrews always stand aside

144
00:09:12,100 –> 00:09:14,800
from the great city builders of
Babylon.

145
00:09:15,100 –> 00:09:17,200
Now how do we know that this
chapter is about the city

146
00:09:17,200 –> 00:09:20,600
builders of Babylon?
Is anybody going to answer that

147
00:09:20,600 –> 00:09:22,000
question for me and give me a
hint?

148
00:09:22,000 –> 00:09:25,100
How do we know that these are?
These guys are from Babylon and

149
00:09:25,100 –> 00:09:27,800
they’re up to their old tricks
again like the Tower of Babel

150
00:09:32,600 –> 00:09:35,500
Okay, straight away.
These guys are from the land of

151
00:09:35,500 –> 00:09:38,100
shinar now it should put me over
heads back up.

152
00:09:45,900 –> 00:09:49,700
Okay.
Now just before we do, I tell

153
00:09:49,700 –> 00:09:51,900
you this story.
Why do they buy?

154
00:09:51,900 –> 00:10:00,900
Why did lot in Abraham separate?
John say they’ll add of so I’ll

155
00:10:01,500 –> 00:10:04,100
make it right?
I promise unlike yes.

156
00:10:04,100 –> 00:10:06,300
I know what was greedy?
Exactly.

157
00:10:06,300 –> 00:10:13,300
He loved what?
He loves the money.

158
00:10:13,300 –> 00:10:15,000
He loved it.
He loved the money.

159
00:10:15,300 –> 00:10:17,400
And what did we say?
The word riches meant?

160
00:10:17,400 –> 00:10:22,500
Did we say that?
Is it in my guess what?

161
00:10:22,500 –> 00:10:24,100
You got to look up the Hebrew
word for riches.

162
00:10:24,100 –> 00:10:27,000
When it says Abraham was rich,
doesn’t anybody know what it

163
00:10:27,000 –> 00:10:30,000
means?
Get this here it is.

164
00:10:30,300 –> 00:10:35,100
It means to be heavy.
Literally to be heavy to be

165
00:10:35,100 –> 00:10:38,300
weighed down.
Now, I don’t know about you, but

166
00:10:38,300 –> 00:10:42,300
weren’t you led to believe as
you grew up that money makes the

167
00:10:42,300 –> 00:10:45,300
load lighter.
Weren’t you.

168
00:10:45,300 –> 00:10:47,400
That’s what I think.
If I only just had an extra

169
00:10:47,400 –> 00:10:50,500
hundred bucks in my back pocket,
life would be a little easier.

170
00:10:50,900 –> 00:10:58,400
So that’s not true.
Rich’s makes life harder more

171
00:10:58,400 –> 00:11:00,200
difficult.
Particularly, if you’re in love

172
00:11:00,200 –> 00:11:02,000
with them and you don’t use it
the right way.

173
00:11:02,300 –> 00:11:05,800
It’s a burden to carry.
Has anybody ever heard of the

174
00:11:05,800 –> 00:11:10,500
author Jack London?
Yeah, anybody heard of White

175
00:11:10,500 –> 00:11:12,700
Fang, The Call of the Wild.
Okay.

176
00:11:12,700 –> 00:11:14,500
Well, that’s Jack London.
He wrote those books.

177
00:11:14,500 –> 00:11:17,000
Okay, awesome book.
He’s got a, he’s got a couple of

178
00:11:17,000 –> 00:11:19,200
little books and one of these
little books are forgotten the

179
00:11:19,200 –> 00:11:21,100
name of it but it’s a good
story.

180
00:11:21,100 –> 00:11:24,300
Nonetheless, these two guys up
in the Arctic Circle who are

181
00:11:24,300 –> 00:11:26,200
searching for gold.
They’re digging for gold up

182
00:11:26,200 –> 00:11:29,600
there and they leave it a little
late because they’re so greedy.

183
00:11:30,700 –> 00:11:34,700
To return home Winter’s coming.
There’s food supplies are

184
00:11:34,700 –> 00:11:39,100
running out, but man, there’s so
much gold in there, these their

185
00:11:39,100 –> 00:11:41,900
heels.
And so they’re bringing the gold

186
00:11:41,900 –> 00:11:43,400
out.
And the, in the end they say

187
00:11:43,500 –> 00:11:45,400
that’s it.
We’ve got to make a break and go

188
00:11:45,400 –> 00:11:51,000
and it’s too late and the
stronger, the two packs, his

189
00:11:51,000 –> 00:11:56,600
backpack 30 over 30 pounds of
gold in it and the weaker one

190
00:11:56,600 –> 00:11:59,000
packs his over 30 pounds of
gold.

191
00:11:59,100 –> 00:12:02,400
And they start to Make their way
back to civilization, and the

192
00:12:02,800 –> 00:12:04,300
they are the stronger.
One.

193
00:12:04,400 –> 00:12:08,200
Just leaves him high and dry and
marches way out of side ahead.

194
00:12:08,400 –> 00:12:11,700
And so, the story follows the
weaker one and every single

195
00:12:11,700 –> 00:12:15,200
morning, when he gets up out of
bed, and he takes enough food to

196
00:12:15,200 –> 00:12:19,200
nourish him for the day, to give
him strength for the journey, he

197
00:12:19,200 –> 00:12:22,600
carefully picks up his 30 pounds
of gold and packs a back into

198
00:12:22,600 –> 00:12:26,800
his backpack, puts the load back
on the heavy load and walks

199
00:12:26,800 –> 00:12:30,600
again.
And as The Story Goes, and Food

200
00:12:30,600 –> 00:12:34,200
resources.
Diminish, he suddenly he starts

201
00:12:34,200 –> 00:12:37,700
to work out.
He can’t carry it all the way so

202
00:12:37,700 –> 00:12:41,500
he each morning, he takes out a
little bit of gold and packs,

203
00:12:41,500 –> 00:12:45,200
the remainder back in the
backpack and continues, till in

204
00:12:45,200 –> 00:12:49,000
the end each day.
Methodically as he marched

205
00:12:49,000 –> 00:12:52,500
through every single day, it
gets to the point for each X off

206
00:12:52,500 –> 00:12:56,200
his backpack, completely or his
food supplies are exhausted.

207
00:12:56,200 –> 00:12:59,600
He don’t even care about the
gold anymore and he’s crawling

208
00:12:59,600 –> 00:13:03,800
on his Hands and knees to the
coastline where he just manages

209
00:13:03,800 –> 00:13:06,900
to get over the last Hill.
He sees a ship in the harbor who

210
00:13:06,900 –> 00:13:10,400
ultimately, because they come
ashore inadvertently, find it

211
00:13:11,500 –> 00:13:17,800
and he saved with no money.
But on the way there, he crawls

212
00:13:17,800 –> 00:13:21,600
past the half devoured body of
his mate with the full backpack

213
00:13:21,600 –> 00:13:24,100
of gold on still who doesn’t
make it.

214
00:13:24,800 –> 00:13:29,200
And that is heavy, man, that
story that is heavy.

215
00:13:30,000 –> 00:13:32,900
Riches.
I mean it’s one thing for sure.

216
00:13:33,700 –> 00:13:37,300
At least the guy who’s left
behind, at least he still reach,

217
00:13:38,100 –> 00:13:41,900
he still got the money.
Wouldn’t you be excited?

218
00:13:41,900 –> 00:13:44,900
Still least to die.
Happy with a heap of money.

219
00:13:46,100 –> 00:13:48,700
He who dies with the most toys
wins.

220
00:13:48,900 –> 00:13:51,300
Everyone’s seen that shirt.
Having a there.

221
00:13:51,300 –> 00:13:56,200
Anybody seen the rebuttal shirt?
He who dies with the most toys

222
00:13:56,500 –> 00:14:01,000
still dies.
There it is.

223
00:14:01,100 –> 00:14:05,900
And this is a lot searching for
money being weighed down chained

224
00:14:05,900 –> 00:14:09,400
by the decisions of life.
He makes decisions did you know,

225
00:14:09,700 –> 00:14:12,100
did you know that?
The decisions of Life guys can

226
00:14:12,200 –> 00:14:15,800
actually bind you chain?
You you won’t be able to get out

227
00:14:15,800 –> 00:14:17,800
of them.
I’ll give you an example.

228
00:14:18,100 –> 00:14:23,700
I’ll give an example people.
Well, you for instance, I’m

229
00:14:23,700 –> 00:14:25,300
going to choose to go to this
unit.

230
00:14:25,500 –> 00:14:27,100
That’s cool.
It’s away from home.

231
00:14:27,100 –> 00:14:29,400
There’s no christadelphians, but
it’s only for three years.

232
00:14:29,500 –> 00:14:31,700
So, I can hand it’s co-ed.
I’m going to, I’m going to be

233
00:14:31,700 –> 00:14:34,400
living on campus, man.
These are all choices.

234
00:14:34,400 –> 00:14:38,700
You make, you don’t intend to
leave the truth but when you’re

235
00:14:38,700 –> 00:14:43,200
there you so isolated from the
brothers and sisters and life

236
00:14:43,200 –> 00:14:45,400
gets boring.
And after all you’ve got to make

237
00:14:45,400 –> 00:14:48,000
your way in uni life and people
expect you to come to the

238
00:14:48,000 –> 00:14:50,200
parties.
Expect you not to do the study.

239
00:14:50,400 –> 00:14:52,700
And anyway, that guy’s cute over
then, he’s really nice.

240
00:14:52,700 –> 00:14:56,800
He looks after me really well.
We’re study partners and

241
00:14:56,800 –> 00:15:01,100
decision after decision.
Lee chain, you hand and foot to

242
00:15:01,100 –> 00:15:03,800
the decisions, you make in life.
And in the end you take a job

243
00:15:03,800 –> 00:15:06,600
because of the marks you get in
another area because you’re

244
00:15:06,600 –> 00:15:09,500
offered a great, you cannot give
this job up.

245
00:15:10,900 –> 00:15:15,800
And the Life Choices you have
chained you guys and you might

246
00:15:15,800 –> 00:15:18,800
laugh of it.
There’s a brother that I know

247
00:15:18,800 –> 00:15:23,200
very well who wanted to retrain
and the retraining Institute was

248
00:15:23,200 –> 00:15:27,300
3 hours from home, which is not
that far but he had to drive

249
00:15:27,300 –> 00:15:31,800
there, four days a week.
Two hours from home.

250
00:15:31,800 –> 00:15:33,200
It was though, it’s not a great
deal.

251
00:15:33,200 –> 00:15:37,100
But you go two hours, you spend
six hours, listening to lectures

252
00:15:37,100 –> 00:15:39,600
and so forth and you got to come
back two hours.

253
00:15:40,000 –> 00:15:41,600
It’s going to get pretty hard on
your body.

254
00:15:41,600 –> 00:15:46,100
Isn’t it driving home?
You know, it’s just snoring.

255
00:15:47,100 –> 00:15:49,300
So he he said, no, we’re not
moving.

256
00:15:49,300 –> 00:15:53,100
I’ll be able to do it really.
Yeah, no problem at all.

257
00:15:53,700 –> 00:15:56,000
This is what it’s only goes for
two years and I’ll just make

258
00:15:56,000 –> 00:15:58,500
sure that I get to bed early at
night.

259
00:15:58,900 –> 00:16:02,400
So, straight away this choice,
this choice, will you be able to

260
00:16:02,400 –> 00:16:04,300
do a series of studies for the
hall?

261
00:16:04,500 –> 00:16:06,800
Well, I can’t man because I’m
doing this series.

262
00:16:06,900 –> 00:16:10,100
I’m doing this retraining, I
won’t have time.

263
00:16:10,200 –> 00:16:13,400
So straight away that choice has
put God s immediately.

264
00:16:14,200 –> 00:16:17,500
But we’re not moving down there.
No way my kids need Sunday

265
00:16:17,500 –> 00:16:20,700
school.
So three months.

266
00:16:20,700 –> 00:16:25,500
Not even three months went by
And it was too much for him.

267
00:16:25,500 –> 00:16:27,800
So he said, well what I’ll do is
I’ll stay one night a week down

268
00:16:27,800 –> 00:16:29,000
there, I’ll drive down.
One day.

269
00:16:29,000 –> 00:16:32,000
Come home, drive the next day.
Stay the night next day.

270
00:16:32,000 –> 00:16:34,400
Drive home drive down the next
day drive home.

271
00:16:35,600 –> 00:16:37,000
You reckon, you’ll be able to
handle that.

272
00:16:37,000 –> 00:16:38,600
Yeah, no worries.
Just that one nights.

273
00:16:38,600 –> 00:16:41,700
All I need at the destination to
sleep in.

274
00:16:43,400 –> 00:16:44,800
How long do you reckon that last
for?

275
00:16:47,200 –> 00:16:49,000
That hardly lasted for two
months.

276
00:16:49,500 –> 00:16:51,700
Then they said, well, it’s only
for two years.

277
00:16:51,900 –> 00:16:55,600
We’re going to shift, but you
said you never look things

278
00:16:55,600 –> 00:16:57,800
change, you know?
It’s only for a couple of years.

279
00:16:58,500 –> 00:17:01,100
We’re going to shift, but what
about your kids need something?

280
00:17:01,100 –> 00:17:03,500
Look, I know there’s no Sunday
school there, but this is what

281
00:17:03,500 –> 00:17:06,300
we’ve decided.
This is the choice we’re making

282
00:17:06,700 –> 00:17:09,099
well, okay, if you know what’s
best for your family?

283
00:17:09,099 –> 00:17:12,000
Well, we do.
I mean, I still want the truth,

284
00:17:12,000 –> 00:17:15,099
I get down there, they’re there
for two years and it’s only for

285
00:17:15,099 –> 00:17:19,000
the two years.
It’s gone from never will never

286
00:17:19,300 –> 00:17:24,300
leave to.
Now, the girls come back

287
00:17:24,300 –> 00:17:27,800
occasionally on weekends to
Sunday school and to the meeting

288
00:17:28,000 –> 00:17:31,800
and they feel like no one likes
them and they don’t fit in and I

289
00:17:31,800 –> 00:17:35,600
haven’t got any friends and it’s
really hard now.

290
00:17:35,800 –> 00:17:39,200
So because of their Detachment
emotionally and mentally,

291
00:17:39,200 –> 00:17:43,800
they’re also been detached. and
at the end of two years, so when

292
00:17:43,800 –> 00:17:48,800
you guys come and home or we’re
not, what We’re not coming home.

293
00:17:48,800 –> 00:17:50,500
We’re staying here.
I got a job.

294
00:17:51,400 –> 00:17:53,900
Are you serious?
But you said, you know what I

295
00:17:53,908 –> 00:17:55,300
said?
But things change.

296
00:17:55,800 –> 00:18:01,300
So when from never ever moving
to staying there and never

297
00:18:01,300 –> 00:18:04,400
coming back, it can you believe
that guys?

298
00:18:05,400 –> 00:18:08,700
And you think Uncle Matt, will
you get on with the point I want

299
00:18:08,700 –> 00:18:12,300
you to understand that the
choices of your life can

300
00:18:12,300 –> 00:18:15,300
actually chain.
You, you become sin is

301
00:18:15,300 –> 00:18:19,800
captivating for us.
And if it catches you, you’ll

302
00:18:19,800 –> 00:18:22,800
become its captive.
You know, do you know why sins

303
00:18:22,800 –> 00:18:25,600
fun?
It’s got to be fun, it’s got to

304
00:18:25,600 –> 00:18:28,100
be enjoyable.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t be, you

305
00:18:28,100 –> 00:18:32,500
know, tempted by widget and
that’s why you have to make wise

306
00:18:32,500 –> 00:18:35,500
choices in life, guys, because
Lots now made a choice in Downey

307
00:18:35,500 –> 00:18:40,600
is inside him and he’s living
away from Abraham away from

308
00:18:40,600 –> 00:18:43,200
Sarah.
The faithful couple away from

309
00:18:43,200 –> 00:18:46,400
all the tents and the life of
the pilgrim and what we find.

310
00:18:46,500 –> 00:18:49,800
Oh, In this chapter is his
packed up.

311
00:18:49,800 –> 00:18:54,000
His tent in Chapter 13, he had
pitched his tent in amongst the

312
00:18:54,000 –> 00:18:58,000
cities of the plain, looking out
the tent door, like a gun barrel

313
00:18:58,000 –> 00:19:00,200
tunnel.
Vision down towards Sodom but he

314
00:19:00,200 –> 00:19:03,800
never intended.
I’ll never live inside them.

315
00:19:04,900 –> 00:19:07,100
But he moves.
And in chapter 14, it says he’s

316
00:19:07,100 –> 00:19:10,000
dwelling inside.
It means to sit, he’s got his

317
00:19:10,000 –> 00:19:12,700
placed inside them.
He’s packed his tent up, it’s in

318
00:19:12,700 –> 00:19:16,600
the garage and believe me
whenever the whenever the kids

319
00:19:16,600 –> 00:19:18,800
say Dad you want to go on a
camping trip.

320
00:19:19,000 –> 00:19:24,800
Mom would say And dad like well
it’s not a major hassle, you

321
00:19:24,808 –> 00:19:27,300
know, to take the cat out of the
garage and to pack it up, I mean

322
00:19:27,900 –> 00:19:32,100
I can’t go back to that again.
He likes the city life gone from

323
00:19:32,100 –> 00:19:37,700
never going down there.
To dwelling in Sodom the choices

324
00:19:37,700 –> 00:19:42,000
of Life, guys.
The Bible is all about our life

325
00:19:42,000 –> 00:19:46,100
and it’s relevant to us.
And so this is another, this is

326
00:19:46,100 –> 00:19:49,200
interesting as well, as we said,
this is the first war of the

327
00:19:49,200 –> 00:19:52,000
Bible.
And it’s to do with Babylon.

328
00:19:52,400 –> 00:19:55,600
That’s the enemy.
Now, what is the call throughout

329
00:19:55,600 –> 00:19:58,700
the whole scripture in relation
to Babylon in the truth?

330
00:19:59,700 –> 00:20:06,800
The Believers of the truth.
You guys know?

331
00:20:13,500 –> 00:20:15,100
Absolutely.
It’s the seed of the serpent.

332
00:20:15,100 –> 00:20:17,700
So in regards to the brothers
and sisters, what is God always

333
00:20:18,000 –> 00:20:21,600
say, come out of her.
My people be not partakers of

334
00:20:21,600 –> 00:20:23,300
her sin.
It’s at the beginning of the

335
00:20:23,308 –> 00:20:27,800
Bible and also in Revelation,
it’s also in Revelation and the

336
00:20:28,400 –> 00:20:32,200
the call is exactly the same.
This chapter is about Rebels

337
00:20:32,500 –> 00:20:34,200
because you’ll notice they’re
inverse.

338
00:20:37,100 –> 00:20:40,000
For it says, in the Thirteenth
Year they rebuild.

339
00:20:40,200 –> 00:20:44,100
Do you guys know that number 13
is the number of rebellion.

340
00:20:44,200 –> 00:20:47,000
Did you know that?
Just not, it makes me feel

341
00:20:47,000 –> 00:20:50,100
better.
It’s the number of rebellion who

342
00:20:50,100 –> 00:20:52,500
was the 13th from Adam.
Does anybody know?

343
00:20:58,100 –> 00:21:02,300
Nimrod was number 13 from Adam.
And what did nimrod build?

344
00:21:06,000 –> 00:21:10,100
He built this great city of
Babylon Babel.

345
00:21:11,300 –> 00:21:13,400
And they build it.
You know why?

346
00:21:13,500 –> 00:21:15,600
They said, let’s make for
ourselves.

347
00:21:17,600 –> 00:21:21,700
A name.
Now Abraham had taken on a name.

348
00:21:21,800 –> 00:21:25,600
Do you think the name that I
that are Babel and Nimrod were

349
00:21:25,600 –> 00:21:28,600
going to build was the same name
that Abraham had taken on?

350
00:21:30,400 –> 00:21:35,600
So it wasn’t guys, the Babel
name was the name, basically of

351
00:21:35,600 –> 00:21:38,400
King sin.
We’ll do whatever we want for as

352
00:21:38,400 –> 00:21:41,300
truly as we live all the Earth
shall be filled with our glory

353
00:21:41,300 –> 00:21:44,700
and our honor.
It’s the name of man, we’re

354
00:21:44,700 –> 00:21:47,400
going to do things our way.
Ain’t nobody gonna tell me what

355
00:21:47,400 –> 00:21:50,000
to do, where I can go, who I can
live with.

356
00:21:50,300 –> 00:21:52,600
That’s their name.
Abraham had taken on the name of

357
00:21:52,600 –> 00:21:55,200
our heavenly father.
The name of the character of God

358
00:21:55,200 –> 00:21:59,300
and he had to oppose this Babel
building project once more.

359
00:21:59,700 –> 00:22:03,100
In fact.
Fact, in fact, and I love this,

360
00:22:03,400 –> 00:22:06,400
he’s called in the record
Abraham.

361
00:22:06,500 –> 00:22:10,600
The does, anybody know what
Abraham’s called in Genesis 14?

362
00:22:14,100 –> 00:22:16,800
The Hebrew.
Do you guys know that Abraham?

363
00:22:16,800 –> 00:22:18,500
The Hebrew?
Look at this.

364
00:22:21,400 –> 00:22:24,000
There’s two reasons, one is
because he crossed over the

365
00:22:24,000 –> 00:22:28,100
river Euphrates, just the word
Hebrew means away from Earth and

366
00:22:28,100 –> 00:22:33,000
away from Babylon and away from
that oppositional City over to

367
00:22:33,000 –> 00:22:36,800
the land of promise.
I also think there’s another

368
00:22:36,800 –> 00:22:46,200
reason which believe me is more
contextual and that is, Exposure

369
00:22:46,200 –> 00:22:51,900
to say that the word Hebrew is
linked to this word Eva, I’ll

370
00:22:51,900 –> 00:22:54,700
just show you where it is.
Have a look in Genesis chapter

371
00:22:55,000 –> 00:23:00,800
10, I think.
Genesis chapter 10 and verse 21

372
00:23:01,600 –> 00:23:06,600
the sons of Shem.
Abraham’s blessed son.

373
00:23:07,100 –> 00:23:10,800
Oh and by the way, what is shems
name mean?

374
00:23:15,300 –> 00:23:18,400
What is Shams naming the name?
Exactly.

375
00:23:18,400 –> 00:23:21,100
Thank you.
Shams name means the name.

376
00:23:21,100 –> 00:23:27,200
So Shem becomes a type of all
the bearers of the name who are

377
00:23:27,200 –> 00:23:30,000
blessed that you and I shems Our
Father.

378
00:23:30,500 –> 00:23:35,600
We also bear the name of God,
that was him and he has these

379
00:23:35,600 –> 00:23:38,500
sons in verse 21.
The, he’s the father of all the

380
00:23:38,500 –> 00:23:43,600
children of Eber.
And Ava they say is where we get

381
00:23:43,600 –> 00:23:46,500
this word Hebrew from.
Well, what are the sons of Eber?

382
00:23:46,500 –> 00:23:50,500
Do you know why they’re famous?
Because it says he apparently,

383
00:23:50,500 –> 00:23:53,300
Jewish tradition is when Nimrod
said, right?

384
00:23:53,300 –> 00:23:55,500
We’re going to build for
ourselves this city to

385
00:23:55,500 –> 00:23:58,600
memorialize our name, the sons
of Eber said, we’re not going to

386
00:23:58,600 –> 00:24:00,600
make a brick or not, going to
allow a brick.

387
00:24:00,600 –> 00:24:02,600
We’re not going to help you guys
do anything.

388
00:24:03,000 –> 00:24:05,800
And Nimrod said, you know how it
says Nimrod the mighty hunter.

389
00:24:06,200 –> 00:24:08,900
That didn’t mean that he knew
were all the good Walmart’s were

390
00:24:08,900 –> 00:24:12,700
and get all the good food.
When it says he’s a mighty

391
00:24:12,700 –> 00:24:16,800
Hunter, young, people that meant
he persecuted, he hunted the

392
00:24:16,800 –> 00:24:20,500
children of God and Sons of Eva
would have been on the receiving

393
00:24:20,500 –> 00:24:24,200
end of nimrods Mighty Roth, but
they withstood.

394
00:24:24,300 –> 00:24:27,400
And when Nimrod stuck a sword
under their throat, they said

395
00:24:27,700 –> 00:24:30,000
we’re still serving.
God willing to stand up for this

396
00:24:30,000 –> 00:24:32,200
city.
The city of the Living, God, a

397
00:24:32,200 –> 00:24:35,700
city, which is not got
foundations here on Earth, but

398
00:24:35,700 –> 00:24:41,100
the Builder and maker is God.
And because apparently, They

399
00:24:41,100 –> 00:24:43,900
withstood the city building.
They were also permitted to

400
00:24:43,900 –> 00:24:48,300
retain the Hebrew language when
God separated the tongues.

401
00:24:49,400 –> 00:24:51,500
Now check this out, this is
what’s awesome.

402
00:24:52,500 –> 00:24:56,800
It’s been a long time since the
Tower of Babel till the days of

403
00:24:56,800 –> 00:25:00,000
Abraham.
I got a question for you guys.

404
00:25:00,600 –> 00:25:05,900
Okay, how come in?
All the intervening Generations?

405
00:25:06,000 –> 00:25:11,500
None of them are called Hebrews.
Why is it right down here into

406
00:25:11,500 –> 00:25:15,900
chapter 14?
That finally Abraham’s called a

407
00:25:15,908 –> 00:25:20,800
Hebrew?
For the first time in six

408
00:25:20,800 –> 00:25:27,800
Generations.
Anyone know why?

409
00:25:33,800 –> 00:25:38,800
Why is he called a Hebrew?
So I think it’s appropriate that

410
00:25:38,800 –> 00:25:43,000
now he picks up if he’s truly a
descendant of Heber.

411
00:25:44,300 –> 00:25:46,100
Who withstood the building of
Babel?

412
00:25:46,300 –> 00:25:50,700
Well, this is the first time
since that occasion, that the

413
00:25:50,700 –> 00:25:54,700
Babel Builders, the land of
shinar have come into contact

414
00:25:54,700 –> 00:25:58,000
with the things of God.
Again, and therefore Abraham,

415
00:25:58,000 –> 00:26:02,400
the Hebrew is got to stand up
for the name of God, again, as a

416
00:26:02,408 –> 00:26:07,600
true, descendant and stand for
God and his things and resist,

417
00:26:07,800 –> 00:26:12,600
the building of the great City.
Isn’t that awesome?

418
00:26:12,700 –> 00:26:15,500
How appropriate is it?
To introduce this epithet

419
00:26:16,500 –> 00:26:20,000
Abraham, the Hebrew?
And there’s another thing which

420
00:26:20,000 –> 00:26:24,600
I just momentarily thought of
What was it now?

421
00:26:26,000 –> 00:26:30,700
Let me have a look.
Oh yeah.

422
00:26:33,200 –> 00:26:36,500
This is the first recorded war
in the Bible, but you know what

423
00:26:36,500 –> 00:26:40,600
happened?
13 years before this 13 years

424
00:26:40,600 –> 00:26:44,800
before this this Confederacy of
Cado glioma and amraphel king of

425
00:26:44,800 –> 00:26:48,500
shinar about Four Kings, they
all came down and they beat the

426
00:26:48,500 –> 00:26:54,200
snot out of all the, the cities
around the area.

427
00:26:54,200 –> 00:26:57,700
They said be good and send us
lots of money every year.

428
00:26:57,700 –> 00:27:00,600
I will come down thump you again
and they’ll go.

429
00:27:00,700 –> 00:27:04,700
Okay, but 13 years later, they
said, may we strong.

430
00:27:04,700 –> 00:27:08,300
Now we’re really Filthy Rich.
We’re sick of serving those guys

431
00:27:08,300 –> 00:27:11,300
and Babylon and they cut.
Off supply of gold and silver.

432
00:27:11,300 –> 00:27:12,600
And I said, we’re not going to
serve you.

433
00:27:12,600 –> 00:27:14,000
That’s why they’ve come back
down.

434
00:27:14,300 –> 00:27:16,000
But I’m a historian.
I like history.

435
00:27:16,100 –> 00:27:19,200
I want to know.
I Lon you’re going to record

436
00:27:19,600 –> 00:27:22,600
them coming down the second time
in the big Biff and the fight

437
00:27:23,100 –> 00:27:25,000
which is what boys like to read
about.

438
00:27:26,100 –> 00:27:30,400
How come you don’t record the
war 13 years before?

439
00:27:31,400 –> 00:27:33,000
Does anybody know why they don’t
record?

440
00:27:33,000 –> 00:27:36,900
Why the Bible hasn’t got an
accurate description of the war?

441
00:27:36,900 –> 00:27:40,900
That happened 13 years?
Before anyone know why?

442
00:27:43,700 –> 00:27:53,100
The answer is very simple.
Because when they came in 13

443
00:27:53,100 –> 00:27:56,000
years before there was no
Ecclesia involved, there was no

444
00:27:56,000 –> 00:27:58,300
Brethren involved as no sisters
involved.

445
00:27:58,500 –> 00:28:01,400
And as far as God was concerned,
he’s not interested in that

446
00:28:01,800 –> 00:28:06,500
because that’s just a bunch of
men in badly dressed, you know,

447
00:28:06,500 –> 00:28:08,500
clothes running around yelling
at each other.

448
00:28:08,800 –> 00:28:12,200
He’s not interested in recording
that for us, the Bible, only

449
00:28:12,200 –> 00:28:15,600
records, the history of the
kingdom of God, and how it’s

450
00:28:15,600 –> 00:28:17,800
relevant to that.
For instance, I was picked up a,

451
00:28:17,800 –> 00:28:23,700
um, an Australian history book
the other day and I went through

452
00:28:23,700 –> 00:28:27,800
from front, the back cover and I
scoured it every page every word

453
00:28:28,000 –> 00:28:30,300
and I was looking for a
reference to Norway.

454
00:28:30,400 –> 00:28:34,000
You guys know Norway.
Do you think I could find one

455
00:28:34,000 –> 00:28:36,600
reference to the Norwegians in
the Australian history book?

456
00:28:38,500 –> 00:28:41,100
Not one.
Now, why not?

457
00:28:42,500 –> 00:28:46,100
Is it because Norwegian history
is an important.

458
00:28:47,800 –> 00:28:50,000
Well, no Norwegian history is
important.

459
00:28:52,000 –> 00:28:55,400
But just in terms of Australian
history, it’s irrelevant.

460
00:28:57,000 –> 00:29:00,500
And so, when we get to the Bible
History, that first incursion

461
00:29:00,600 –> 00:29:02,300
was just a rebel mob that came
down.

462
00:29:02,300 –> 00:29:05,900
God says, it’s irrelevant.
But now this is interesting

463
00:29:05,900 –> 00:29:10,500
because they take a brother lot
captive, and he’s Abraham soon

464
00:29:10,500 –> 00:29:16,800
as he hears, he comes a fugitive
who’s who’s come survivors,

465
00:29:16,800 –> 00:29:20,600
because they’ve come down here,
probably come down this side,

466
00:29:20,600 –> 00:29:22,900
taking all these cities, sweep
them all away.

467
00:29:23,000 –> 00:29:25,900
And I don’t necessarily know
whether they went up this side

468
00:29:26,100 –> 00:29:29,300
or this side.
Side of the river Jordan because

469
00:29:29,700 –> 00:29:33,500
they don’t fight Melchizedek
king of Salem and the reason I

470
00:29:33,500 –> 00:29:36,000
believe that ain’t fight milk is
it at king of Salem is because

471
00:29:36,000 –> 00:29:38,700
he is the name bearer of God as
well.

472
00:29:38,900 –> 00:29:42,600
He worships the Living God.
And maybe, as yet they didn’t

473
00:29:42,600 –> 00:29:47,500
feel sufficiently strong enough
to fight the Jerusalem’s King so

474
00:29:47,500 –> 00:29:51,500
my perhaps they took off quietly
back up the Eastern side of the

475
00:29:51,500 –> 00:29:55,800
river Jordan with that natural
barrier between them, that’s

476
00:29:55,800 –> 00:29:58,700
only my thoughts.
Plus is something interesting, I

477
00:29:58,700 –> 00:30:01,500
should let you know, does
anybody know who people think

478
00:30:01,500 –> 00:30:06,600
Melchizedek is?
Yeah, people think he’s sham.

479
00:30:07,000 –> 00:30:09,400
We don’t know that of course,
because milk is it extends?

480
00:30:09,400 –> 00:30:13,100
In the record has a beautiful
symbol but another another

481
00:30:13,100 –> 00:30:18,900
tradition is a lot of historians
say that Nimrod was actually

482
00:30:19,100 –> 00:30:23,600
executed.
He was taken and put to death.

483
00:30:26,400 –> 00:30:29,500
Sham.
That’s what they actually

484
00:30:29,500 –> 00:30:34,500
believe the name.
Bearish m executed Nimrod now,

485
00:30:34,500 –> 00:30:36,400
wouldn’t that be significant of
that actually occurred?

486
00:30:36,400 –> 00:30:38,700
I like that.
So, we don’t know whether milk

487
00:30:38,700 –> 00:30:42,900
is an XML or not, but either
way, they actually make a

488
00:30:43,100 –> 00:30:47,000
sweeping circumventing of
Jerusalem.

489
00:30:47,000 –> 00:30:50,100
They want to gain their milk is
a day because he’s a toughie.

490
00:30:51,800 –> 00:30:53,800
So they’re going up there.
Lots with them.

491
00:30:54,000 –> 00:30:57,900
They take everything.
They don’t just take lat, they

492
00:30:57,900 –> 00:31:02,400
take the whole lot, the kitchen
sink, the furniture, everything

493
00:31:02,900 –> 00:31:06,700
and the heading up that way.
And one escapes and says over

494
00:31:06,700 –> 00:31:10,700
him like he comes to the tents
of Abraham and says you wouldn’t

495
00:31:10,700 –> 00:31:12,300
believe it.
You’re near Kinsman.

496
00:31:12,600 –> 00:31:16,100
Lots been taken captive and
Abraham Rises out of his chair

497
00:31:16,500 –> 00:31:20,000
to the length of do and it’s
like he steps into the telephone

498
00:31:20,000 –> 00:31:24,900
booth and puts on his Superman
cape and he’s like as soon as he

499
00:31:24,900 –> 00:31:28,500
hears his Rather lot has been
taken captive.

500
00:31:28,600 –> 00:31:31,700
He says, let’s go.
We’re going to fight.

501
00:31:31,800 –> 00:31:34,000
And someone in the crowd, most
in a little kid at the.

502
00:31:34,000 –> 00:31:37,300
Frank gave me.
If we go for, maybe we’ll get

503
00:31:37,300 –> 00:31:39,800
all get killed.
And Abraham would have looked

504
00:31:39,800 –> 00:31:46,700
down said they’re our brethren.
We’ve got a fight for them and

505
00:31:46,700 –> 00:31:52,100
he takes 318 trained, servants
trained and he’s got a whole

506
00:31:52,100 –> 00:31:55,300
bunch of guys with him to called
a nuresh: memory.

507
00:31:55,300 –> 00:31:59,800
And these guys are Canaanites
And I got a question for you.

508
00:31:59,800 –> 00:32:04,700
How come Abraham’s dwelling with
a nuresh: memory when before he

509
00:32:04,700 –> 00:32:06,200
wouldn’t said, he’s tanned up
with them.

510
00:32:06,400 –> 00:32:08,200
How come now is he lost the
truth?

511
00:32:08,200 –> 00:32:10,800
Is he gone backwards in the
truth and his stand.

512
00:32:10,800 –> 00:32:14,200
How come he’s living with a
nuresh: memory, a Irish

513
00:32:14,200 –> 00:32:19,100
Chieftains Why is he living with
them?

514
00:32:21,300 –> 00:32:28,400
What do you guys reckon?
I reckon that’s a good answer

515
00:32:28,400 –> 00:32:33,100
because it says, in the record
that there Confederate with

516
00:32:33,100 –> 00:32:38,700
Abraham and the word means to
cut a covenant and whilst more

517
00:32:38,700 –> 00:32:42,600
amorites live over here.
These amorites are separate and

518
00:32:42,600 –> 00:32:44,600
these are the ones Abraham lives
with.

519
00:32:44,900 –> 00:32:50,900
And the amorites over there have
been swept away taken gone But

520
00:32:50,900 –> 00:32:56,400
these amorites with Abraham
disassociated from their natural

521
00:32:56,400 –> 00:33:01,400
kith and kin plus Abraham’s
going to risk his life to save

522
00:33:01,400 –> 00:33:02,700
his brother.
Is that not right?

523
00:33:02,700 –> 00:33:04,100
Is that a principle for you
guys?

524
00:33:04,100 –> 00:33:05,900
Would you risk your life to save
you?

525
00:33:06,000 –> 00:33:08,900
Your brother or your sister,
your best friend in the truth?

526
00:33:10,600 –> 00:33:13,500
Would you at any given moment?
When you hear that they’re in

527
00:33:13,508 –> 00:33:17,500
trouble, drop everything that
you’re doing at that moment and

528
00:33:17,500 –> 00:33:19,500
lay your life down for that.
That’s Abraham.

529
00:33:19,500 –> 00:33:23,500
I love you, I just love this.
He’s incessant love for lat, by

530
00:33:23,500 –> 00:33:26,700
the way, lot, only, just days
before didn’t even want.

531
00:33:26,700 –> 00:33:29,400
Saving he didn’t even believe he
needed.

532
00:33:29,400 –> 00:33:31,800
Saving in Sodom he didn’t even
want.

533
00:33:31,800 –> 00:33:35,900
Saving at all, leave me alone.
There’s nothing wrong with my

534
00:33:35,900 –> 00:33:39,000
life.
You know, you guys went to

535
00:33:39,000 –> 00:33:42,200
choose the Life that you’re
going to have in the truth and

536
00:33:42,200 –> 00:33:44,900
you make decisions and people
say but you need some help and

537
00:33:44,900 –> 00:33:47,900
you slap it away.
I don’t need your help.

538
00:33:48,000 –> 00:33:51,000
I don’t want your help.
I’m quite okay.

539
00:33:51,000 –> 00:33:53,300
Going the way I am.
Those brothers and sisters are

540
00:33:53,300 –> 00:33:58,300
only caring for you and they put
their life on the line. and even

541
00:33:58,300 –> 00:34:03,500
after you’ve told him to get
lost, When you fall down and

542
00:34:03,500 –> 00:34:06,200
fall over and in trouble,
they’ll be first by your side

543
00:34:06,200 –> 00:34:07,400
there.
This was Abraham.

544
00:34:07,900 –> 00:34:13,900
He loved his son lat.
Is that really the time but

545
00:34:13,900 –> 00:34:16,199
wolf.
Okay, we got five minutes every

546
00:34:19,400 –> 00:34:22,900
Ten.
Okay, was up to lot.

547
00:34:22,900 –> 00:34:24,800
Saving a Nash collar, and
memory.

548
00:34:24,800 –> 00:34:27,900
Those guys.
So why I got a question for you?

549
00:34:28,000 –> 00:34:34,600
Why would a nuresh: memory throw
their lot in With Abraham to go

550
00:34:34,600 –> 00:34:36,699
and Risk, Everything risk their
lives.

551
00:34:36,699 –> 00:34:40,199
Because I mean, this for
confederate Kings, these guys

552
00:34:40,199 –> 00:34:42,199
are just a bunch of tribal
people.

553
00:34:43,100 –> 00:34:46,699
They probably had to beat their
plowshares into swords to get a,

554
00:34:47,199 –> 00:34:52,000
a fighting Army raised up.
Why would they go?

555
00:34:52,100 –> 00:34:55,500
And someone has said, oh,
because they’re natural

556
00:34:55,699 –> 00:34:57,700
relations, the amorites have
been taken captive.

557
00:34:57,700 –> 00:35:00,600
Let me tell you something out
there in the dog-eat-dog world

558
00:35:00,600 –> 00:35:04,100
of the Canaanites.
They Port that name.

559
00:35:04,100 –> 00:35:05,500
They do not stand up for each
other.

560
00:35:05,500 –> 00:35:08,100
In fact, proof is beer, our king
of Sodom.

561
00:35:08,300 –> 00:35:12,800
When the fight came on beer, I
wasn’t going to die a hero

562
00:35:13,100 –> 00:35:16,800
fighting for his town.
He took off ran like a scared

563
00:35:16,800 –> 00:35:20,100
little rabbit and he’d be in a
Slime Pit or in a behind it.

564
00:35:20,100 –> 00:35:24,200
A bush somewhere shaking like
this until cater glioma runs

565
00:35:24,200 –> 00:35:27,500
away.
He comes out later.

566
00:35:28,400 –> 00:35:33,000
But C is Cole and memory, don’t
have natural relations to these

567
00:35:33,000 –> 00:35:35,200
people, I believe they’re
Confederate.

568
00:35:35,200 –> 00:35:39,800
And in fellowship with Abraham
who also like Abraham at a

569
00:35:39,808 –> 00:35:42,600
moment’s notice would put their
hand up and say I’ll stand up

570
00:35:42,600 –> 00:35:44,500
and I’ll risk my life to save my
brother.

571
00:35:44,700 –> 00:35:48,300
They were also in fellowship
with lat and he’s Ecclesia that

572
00:35:48,300 –> 00:35:51,000
were in Sodom and so they’re
going to go and put their life

573
00:35:51,000 –> 00:35:54,200
on the line.
This is what happens and so

574
00:35:54,500 –> 00:35:57,100
Abraham is going he’s trained
men Then, and I believe, they

575
00:35:57,100 –> 00:36:00,800
were trained, not just in war
and in like Kung Fu and they

576
00:36:00,808 –> 00:36:02,000
didn’t just sit there every
morning.

577
00:36:02,000 –> 00:36:08,200
Go And do tai chi, these guys
were trained in the truth.

578
00:36:08,900 –> 00:36:14,400
They were trained in the ways of
justice and righteousness, as

579
00:36:14,400 –> 00:36:18,500
Abraham was told, or the angel
said to one another, in chapter

580
00:36:18,500 –> 00:36:21,400
18, we know that Abraham will
teach his children.

581
00:36:21,400 –> 00:36:24,600
The truth.
He’ll take him to Sunday school,

582
00:36:25,000 –> 00:36:26,800
he’ll do the readings with his
kids.

583
00:36:27,400 –> 00:36:31,400
This is the sort of man Abraham
was like, he will tuck them into

584
00:36:31,400 –> 00:36:33,500
bed at night.
He’ll say the prayers with them.

585
00:36:34,000 –> 00:36:36,200
That’s Abraham.
These guys were all born in

586
00:36:36,200 –> 00:36:40,000
Abraham’s house trained up like
a child in the way that they

587
00:36:40,000 –> 00:36:42,500
should go.
So they were eager as well.

588
00:36:42,500 –> 00:36:46,300
When Abraham said let’s go and
fight, the little kid at the

589
00:36:46,300 –> 00:36:48,600
front said, yeah, I’m coming
dude.

590
00:36:48,600 –> 00:36:51,600
Like he didn’t object to it and
they settle down, son, you’re a

591
00:36:51,607 –> 00:36:53,300
little young, you can’t come.
It.

592
00:36:55,100 –> 00:37:00,800
And it’s just fantastic, guys.
Do you have that much affection

593
00:37:01,100 –> 00:37:04,400
for your brothers and sisters?
Do you feel like you fit into

594
00:37:04,400 –> 00:37:07,200
the truth?
Do you make yourself fit into

595
00:37:07,200 –> 00:37:09,700
the truth?
Is what I’m really trying to ask

596
00:37:09,900 –> 00:37:13,000
or do you feel like those kids
that moved away and said we just

597
00:37:13,000 –> 00:37:15,400
don’t have any friends and no
one understands me.

598
00:37:16,700 –> 00:37:20,900
No one’s been through what I’ve
been through or do you say hold

599
00:37:20,900 –> 00:37:27,000
on, we all have one father, he’s
called us all warts and all with

600
00:37:27,000 –> 00:37:30,700
all our problems, and all our
little ins insecurities, and our

601
00:37:30,700 –> 00:37:34,800
idiosyncrasies, and our
personalities were all lumped

602
00:37:34,800 –> 00:37:36,400
in.
Under this one, big fan of

603
00:37:37,000 –> 00:37:42,700
banner of bearing, the name for
God, Do you believe that?

604
00:37:43,200 –> 00:37:46,100
Would you stand up and fight for
your brothers and sisters?

605
00:37:46,100 –> 00:37:49,100
Or would you look and go?
I got themselves into it and get

606
00:37:49,100 –> 00:37:52,400
themselves out of it.
What sort of attitude do we have

607
00:37:52,400 –> 00:37:54,600
guys?
How do you fit in?

608
00:37:55,100 –> 00:37:59,300
This is Abraham.
He’s willing to lay his life on

609
00:37:59,300 –> 00:38:05,400
the line for his arm.
For his brother and the most,

610
00:38:05,400 –> 00:38:09,300
the saddest thing happens now,
Abraham goes and takes him back

611
00:38:09,300 –> 00:38:11,700
and I’ll just I’ll finish up and
couple minutes.

612
00:38:12,100 –> 00:38:15,100
Abraham goes it to catch him.
Can you imagine what it would be

613
00:38:15,100 –> 00:38:18,500
like, walking back.
I reckon he would have had a lot

614
00:38:18,800 –> 00:38:21,900
with his arm around him.
Embracing him saying son, I’ve

615
00:38:21,900 –> 00:38:24,400
always been looking for an
opportunity to get you back.

616
00:38:24,500 –> 00:38:26,600
I love you so much.
I just can’t believe you left me

617
00:38:26,600 –> 00:38:27,900
in the first place but you’re
back.

618
00:38:27,900 –> 00:38:32,400
Now, God’s blessed us You know
what lot was thinking because

619
00:38:32,400 –> 00:38:35,800
lot goes back to Sodom lock
turns his back on Abraham and

620
00:38:35,800 –> 00:38:38,400
getting goes back.
Leigh’s milk is a deck and

621
00:38:38,600 –> 00:38:41,100
Abraham standing.
Then goes back to Sodom lot was

622
00:38:41,100 –> 00:38:43,600
probably thinking this is a
blessing because now the land

623
00:38:43,600 –> 00:38:47,500
will be half-price back inside
them, you know, the stock

624
00:38:47,500 –> 00:38:51,000
market, it bounces back, it
always bounces back.

625
00:38:51,500 –> 00:38:53,700
I’ll be able to buy stocks for
half price now.

626
00:38:54,000 –> 00:38:57,400
Nothing and lots of thinking
about how much money you can

627
00:38:57,400 –> 00:39:02,400
make Where’s his remorse?
Where’s his gratefulness, they

628
00:39:02,400 –> 00:39:06,200
get back there and Abraham would
have been beaming from ear to

629
00:39:06,200 –> 00:39:10,200
ear as he and Melchizedek,
probably acknowledged the people

630
00:39:10,300 –> 00:39:12,300
and the brave soldiers, who
fought?

631
00:39:12,500 –> 00:39:15,400
We did it all for you like all
of your family and all

632
00:39:15,400 –> 00:39:17,800
theoretically, Asia, and lots
sitting there.

633
00:39:18,000 –> 00:39:21,100
Maybe he felt remorseful, but
his wife saying, come on, let’s

634
00:39:21,100 –> 00:39:25,400
get out of here.
Back to our house, I hate Sarah.

635
00:39:25,500 –> 00:39:29,400
You know if Sarah had come up to
meet them, believe me Lot’s,

636
00:39:29,400 –> 00:39:32,200
wife and Sarah, didn’t get on
and it’s not as if a lot had to

637
00:39:32,200 –> 00:39:34,300
go, Abraham.
I’ve just got to go back and get

638
00:39:34,300 –> 00:39:37,100
me stuff.
The stuff that I left back and

639
00:39:37,100 –> 00:39:39,500
saw them.
They had a free furniture

640
00:39:39,500 –> 00:39:43,000
removal service, stand-in right
there, care of cater glioma,

641
00:39:43,100 –> 00:39:45,100
everything lotto and was already
there.

642
00:39:46,700 –> 00:39:50,400
You have to go back and get a
fing, and he turns his back on

643
00:39:50,400 –> 00:39:53,600
Abraham, and he goes back down
into the city of Sodom, once

644
00:39:53,600 –> 00:39:58,300
more, and it must have broken
lat, Abraham’s heart to see, son

645
00:39:58,300 –> 00:40:01,400
do that, you guys ever had
somebody like that, you’ve

646
00:40:01,400 –> 00:40:04,300
helped and you think you’ve
recovered them and then they

647
00:40:04,300 –> 00:40:06,400
turn around and walk straight
back into it again.

648
00:40:09,200 –> 00:40:13,500
It’s a sad, sad State.
The Hebrews return to the law in

649
00:40:13,500 –> 00:40:16,400
the New Testament, the dog
returns to its vomit.

650
00:40:16,500 –> 00:40:19,300
Pigs return to its wallowing in
the mud lot.

651
00:40:19,300 –> 00:40:22,600
Return to Sodom, guys, it’s
terrible.

652
00:40:24,500 –> 00:40:28,200
Absolutely terrible.
We returned to the use of our

653
00:40:28,200 –> 00:40:32,200
mobile phones during class.
I just can’t believe it.

654
00:40:32,400 –> 00:40:34,600
This is what happened at this
time.

655
00:40:36,500 –> 00:40:40,000
It’s distressing.
I know really distressing.

656
00:40:43,200 –> 00:40:46,100
I can’t believe Abraham had to
watch his son in the faith walk

657
00:40:46,100 –> 00:40:47,800
away.
And, you know, he depressed him.

658
00:40:48,100 –> 00:40:50,200
Have a look at Genesis 15.
I’ll show you this.

659
00:40:50,400 –> 00:40:52,000
How do we know it really
depressed?

660
00:40:52,000 –> 00:40:55,700
Him, and that was his son in the
faith because after these things

661
00:40:55,700 –> 00:40:59,400
in chapter 15, the word of
Yahweh comes to Abraham in a

662
00:40:59,408 –> 00:41:02,600
vision and yeah, God says to
Abraham don’t fear.

663
00:41:03,000 –> 00:41:05,500
I am your shield and exceeding,
great reward.

664
00:41:06,400 –> 00:41:09,500
And Abraham turns immediately to
God and says, well what are you

665
00:41:09,500 –> 00:41:12,300
going to give me seeing?
I don’t have any children.

666
00:41:13,300 –> 00:41:16,900
Lots left me, my own son in the
faith is gone.

667
00:41:17,700 –> 00:41:20,500
All I’ve got is Eliezer this
Steward of Damascus.

668
00:41:22,100 –> 00:41:25,100
What you going to give me?
And God says, I’ll give you a

669
00:41:25,100 –> 00:41:28,700
son from your own loins and I
won’t be an adopted son.

670
00:41:29,100 –> 00:41:31,600
And yet, still even still
through that.

671
00:41:31,600 –> 00:41:34,800
Even once Abraham knows, he
doesn’t even need lot anymore,

672
00:41:35,000 –> 00:41:38,800
he doesn’t think not fine.
You get what you deserve make,

673
00:41:38,800 –> 00:41:42,000
you made your own bed.
Now, you’re lying it, see a lot

674
00:41:42,100 –> 00:41:45,000
and walk away.
He didnêt that not a day went

675
00:41:45,000 –> 00:41:46,800
past when he didn’t pray for
him.

676
00:41:47,000 –> 00:41:49,700
Think about him and look for
another opportunity in

677
00:41:49,700 –> 00:41:51,700
brotherly.
Love to redeem him.

678
00:41:52,000 –> 00:41:55,700
He still never gave up on him.
So guys, that’s I guess pretty

679
00:41:55,700 –> 00:41:58,900
much where we’ve got to get to
in our own life when we talk

680
00:41:58,900 –> 00:42:01,600
about our closures and our
brothers and sisters.

681
00:42:01,700 –> 00:42:06,400
So any questions Sorry for
rushing through it again.
