Matt Norton – Class 6: The Life of Lot – Deliverance

1
00:00:30,200 –> 00:00:33,200
Hey guys, how are we?
All this morning final days?

2
00:00:33,200 –> 00:00:40,600
Dad.
I’m sad go so quickly doesn’t it

3
00:00:41,200 –> 00:00:43,200
can’t believe how quickly it
goes, you know.

4
00:00:44,500 –> 00:00:49,100
Felt like I was only just
getting to Nia just the

5
00:00:49,100 –> 00:00:54,400
beginning of the week.
Yeah, sorry it’s a strange Oak.

6
00:00:54,400 –> 00:00:58,200
Didn’t you get it?
Where are we up to in the life

7
00:00:58,200 –> 00:01:04,300
of light?
You know, it’s been 15 years

8
00:01:04,300 –> 00:01:07,100
since we saw him.
If you are Abraham, it’s

9
00:01:07,100 –> 00:01:11,000
probably been around 15 years.
That’s a long time.

10
00:01:11,000 –> 00:01:13,800
That you think it’s?
Anybody got any friends?

11
00:01:13,800 –> 00:01:18,900
I haven’t, well, X friends that
they haven’t spoken to For a

12
00:01:18,908 –> 00:01:22,600
long while because that friend
doesn’t want to talk to him

13
00:01:22,600 –> 00:01:28,500
anyway.
Because they you’ve offended

14
00:01:28,500 –> 00:01:31,700
them or they’ve offended you and
they just can’t, they can’t even

15
00:01:31,700 –> 00:01:33,700
look at you.
They don’t talk to you that

16
00:01:33,700 –> 00:01:34,800
ring.
You that, right?

17
00:01:35,600 –> 00:01:38,700
Maybe you don’t do the same.
No, lat.

18
00:01:39,200 –> 00:01:42,000
Although he done all these
things to Abraham Abraham, as we

19
00:01:42,000 –> 00:01:45,400
said it, never still though.
He deserved it.

20
00:01:46,000 –> 00:01:48,500
Abraham had never yet.
Given up on lot.

21
00:01:48,500 –> 00:01:52,900
Not even once and we meet we
meet like now look at this,

22
00:01:53,200 –> 00:01:57,000
let’s have a look at this.
Genesis chapter 19.

23
00:01:57,100 –> 00:01:59,900
Look where light is now that, I
mean, this is exciting.

24
00:02:00,800 –> 00:02:04,700
He’s in the gate of the city,
two angels came to Sodom in the

25
00:02:04,700 –> 00:02:08,100
evening and lot sitting in the
gate now.

26
00:02:09,800 –> 00:02:13,200
You see the progression and lots
life, he has a fight with

27
00:02:13,200 –> 00:02:15,900
Abraham.
He shifts his tent away from

28
00:02:15,900 –> 00:02:20,900
Abraham, he faces his tent
towards Sodom in chapter 14, his

29
00:02:20,900 –> 00:02:24,100
dwelling inside them.
And then chapter 19 is sitting

30
00:02:24,100 –> 00:02:25,300
in the gate.
You see that?

31
00:02:25,600 –> 00:02:30,800
So is he’s really got himself
locked in now into a life in

32
00:02:30,800 –> 00:02:33,200
Sodom.
Does anybody know what are your

33
00:02:33,200 –> 00:02:37,900
suggestions guys?
How come you got the job, a

34
00:02:37,900 –> 00:02:39,900
sitting in the ghetto?
What’s the gate about?

35
00:02:39,900 –> 00:02:41,300
Do you guys know what the gates
about?

36
00:02:42,400 –> 00:02:45,600
first of all, what happens in
the gate?

37
00:02:48,700 –> 00:02:56,800
Of a city.
Yeah, judgment takes place in

38
00:02:56,800 –> 00:02:57,900
the gate.
That’s true.

39
00:02:58,800 –> 00:03:04,300
Is the main place of Converse Is
the main place of concourse,

40
00:03:04,300 –> 00:03:08,400
people come through the gate of
the city one, main gate funnels,

41
00:03:08,400 –> 00:03:12,500
everybody in and out of the
city, there’s judges at the gate

42
00:03:12,900 –> 00:03:16,000
authorities at the gate
credentials are checked the gay.

43
00:03:16,000 –> 00:03:19,700
Passports are stand, decisions
are made at the Gate of the

44
00:03:19,700 –> 00:03:22,800
city.
And perhaps lot has got some

45
00:03:23,200 –> 00:03:25,900
sort of a thought, perhaps, my
only say it perhaps because we

46
00:03:25,900 –> 00:03:28,900
don’t know, he’s come to the
gate of the city, maybe just

47
00:03:28,900 –> 00:03:32,000
coming to the gate of the city
this particular day.

48
00:03:34,500 –> 00:03:40,000
Maybe he’s got some civil,
administrative job in some form

49
00:03:40,000 –> 00:03:44,000
in some capacity.
I’ve got to ask you though, if

50
00:03:44,000 –> 00:03:48,900
he does have some civil job to
perform and he might have to

51
00:03:48,900 –> 00:03:53,300
judge matters of civil law.
If that’s lat, how did he get a

52
00:03:53,308 –> 00:03:56,500
job like that?
How do you get a prominent

53
00:03:56,500 –> 00:03:59,500
position in the gate?
As anybody got a suggestion of

54
00:03:59,500 –> 00:04:03,200
how that may have come about
what events in Lots life had

55
00:04:03,200 –> 00:04:07,400
taken place that Cause him to be
favored by the men of Sodom to

56
00:04:07,400 –> 00:04:09,500
be given a place of eminence
like this.

57
00:04:18,200 –> 00:04:20,500
You guys, I could have done with
a cappuccino this morning.

58
00:04:22,300 –> 00:04:25,400
Usually, the girls are really
nice and they actually think of

59
00:04:25,400 –> 00:04:29,600
other people like the speaker.
I don’t want to make you feel

60
00:04:29,600 –> 00:04:32,900
bad or anything.
How we speak?

61
00:04:36,500 –> 00:04:38,700
Any takers.
How would he’s got this job in

62
00:04:38,700 –> 00:04:42,200
Sodom?
I’ll probably make it through

63
00:04:42,200 –> 00:04:43,900
without the cappuccino.
And yeah, it’s all right.

64
00:04:50,600 –> 00:04:56,300
Yeah.
Well, not know, not only that,

65
00:04:56,600 –> 00:05:01,000
everybody would have known on
what basis, they survived

66
00:05:01,900 –> 00:05:05,200
everyone in Sodom.
If you’re a inhabitant of Sodom

67
00:05:05,500 –> 00:05:11,200
who had saved you, 15 years
before, Abraham.

68
00:05:12,000 –> 00:05:14,900
Everybody knows it was that guy
over there in the tents who

69
00:05:14,900 –> 00:05:16,400
builds altars and stands for
that.

70
00:05:16,400 –> 00:05:20,700
Got everyone knew it was Abraham
who in the city’s related to

71
00:05:20,700 –> 00:05:24,400
Abraham that’s the point.
Everyone knew that lot was

72
00:05:24,400 –> 00:05:28,100
related to Abraham.
We better look after Lots.

73
00:05:29,600 –> 00:05:32,800
Because if we look after lot, if
we don’t look after lot, maybe

74
00:05:33,700 –> 00:05:37,800
things will go bad for us.
We’ll keep lot in the city will

75
00:05:37,800 –> 00:05:39,200
make sure he’s attached to the
city.

76
00:05:39,200 –> 00:05:43,000
I mean, perhaps, if we could get
into a bit of trouble again,

77
00:05:43,000 –> 00:05:46,700
well, old Good Old Uncle Abraham
will drag us out of trouble and

78
00:05:46,700 –> 00:05:49,500
so they treating him like the
goose, that laid, the golden

79
00:05:49,500 –> 00:05:52,200
egg.
They’re really looking after

80
00:05:52,200 –> 00:05:55,100
lat.
So perhaps that’s also in this

81
00:05:55,100 –> 00:05:57,500
record here.
So, lots in the gate.

82
00:05:57,500 –> 00:06:00,300
You know what I believe is in
the Gate, at least with the best

83
00:06:00,300 –> 00:06:02,800
of intentions.
He wants to change things.

84
00:06:02,800 –> 00:06:05,100
I mean, you ask yourself what
has he changed?

85
00:06:05,100 –> 00:06:06,500
What’s different in the city of
Sodom?

86
00:06:08,500 –> 00:06:12,900
Anything different.
The answer is no, there’s

87
00:06:12,900 –> 00:06:16,300
nothing different inside, the
city of Sodom nothing yet.

88
00:06:17,000 –> 00:06:20,900
So what had a lot achieved?
Well, you achieve nothing so

89
00:06:20,900 –> 00:06:24,900
far, besides giving himself an
aneurysm besides giving himself

90
00:06:24,900 –> 00:06:27,700
stomach ulcers.
He’s stressed out.

91
00:06:27,900 –> 00:06:29,900
He doesn’t want to be in the
city anymore.

92
00:06:30,500 –> 00:06:35,000
I believe this is Lots moment
where he finally comes into his

93
00:06:35,000 –> 00:06:39,200
own, he wants out of the city,
he wants to get out of there.

94
00:06:39,400 –> 00:06:43,200
He wants to take his family.
I don’t want to leave his wife

95
00:06:43,200 –> 00:06:47,500
doesn’t want to go, but he wants
to get out of the place, but he

96
00:06:47,500 –> 00:06:50,500
can’t, there’s too many things
that have changed him there.

97
00:06:51,200 –> 00:06:54,900
But at least, I believe he’s
waiting in the gate for

98
00:06:54,900 –> 00:06:57,300
salvation and there’s a quote,
which we’re not going to look

99
00:06:57,300 –> 00:07:00,100
at.
I want you to do it bit of

100
00:07:00,100 –> 00:07:04,900
initiative, the word for Lots
name, the word lot in the

101
00:07:04,900 –> 00:07:11,600
Hebrew, only occurs in one other
place. not as a proper noun like

102
00:07:11,600 –> 00:07:19,100
lots found in in Peter and in
Luke, but outside Genesis, the

103
00:07:19,100 –> 00:07:24,300
word for lat only occurs once
and it’s not his proper now, but

104
00:07:24,300 –> 00:07:29,500
it’s the meaning the covering
and it’s in Isaiah 25.

105
00:07:29,500 –> 00:07:32,800
You should have a look at that
because an Eis, I-25, it talks

106
00:07:32,800 –> 00:07:37,600
about people whose waiting for
the Salvation of God waiting in

107
00:07:37,600 –> 00:07:41,200
to say that this is our God.
He’ll save us, perhaps we’ll get

108
00:07:41,200 –> 00:07:43,900
some mercy.
Now, do you know what happens in

109
00:07:43,900 –> 00:07:47,100
this section?
Here come the angels to lat.

110
00:07:47,200 –> 00:07:49,500
It’s solemn here, come the
Angels.

111
00:07:49,500 –> 00:07:51,200
Now we know the situation, don’t
we?

112
00:07:51,400 –> 00:07:53,700
The Angels say they don’t live
in the city I’m sorry.

113
00:07:53,700 –> 00:07:56,300
Stay the night in the city and
like just goes berserk.

114
00:07:56,300 –> 00:07:58,800
He says, you can’t, you gotta
stay with me.

115
00:07:59,000 –> 00:08:00,700
Just can’t stay the night in the
city.

116
00:08:00,700 –> 00:08:04,400
Please stay with me.
And so in the end they have to

117
00:08:04,400 –> 00:08:07,600
say, well come off it, whether I
write in the city street and

118
00:08:07,600 –> 00:08:11,000
lies, as you know, not, he’s
shaking pushing them, you’ve got

119
00:08:11,000 –> 00:08:14,600
to come to my house.
As well, see in a second and he

120
00:08:14,600 –> 00:08:17,400
gets them to their house.
We know this terrible situation

121
00:08:17,400 –> 00:08:21,800
when it says all men old and
young two generations, at least

122
00:08:21,800 –> 00:08:26,800
two, filthy perverted Sinners,
come out at night time and

123
00:08:26,800 –> 00:08:30,000
Surround his house from every
quarter, all quarters of the

124
00:08:30,000 –> 00:08:32,299
city.
And they demand banging on the

125
00:08:32,299 –> 00:08:35,600
door demanding to bring them in
out to him now.

126
00:08:35,600 –> 00:08:38,500
Have hands up who’s ever had a
problem with lot offering his

127
00:08:38,500 –> 00:08:44,300
daughters. hands up, if you
haven’t had a problem with it,

128
00:08:46,100 –> 00:08:47,800
Hands up who don’t even know
about it.

129
00:08:49,700 –> 00:08:51,400
Hands up whoever has heard a
lot.

130
00:08:53,300 –> 00:08:54,700
Okay, thank you.
Got arms.

131
00:08:56,700 –> 00:08:59,900
I’m a father.
Okay guys, I’ve always looked at

132
00:08:59,900 –> 00:09:02,400
it until I studied it.
I looked at that actually

133
00:09:02,400 –> 00:09:03,900
couldn’t even look at it.
I just knew about it.

134
00:09:03,900 –> 00:09:06,800
So I can’t even understand that.
How could a man offer his

135
00:09:06,800 –> 00:09:09,900
daughters instead of the men
that come to his house?

136
00:09:10,300 –> 00:09:12,900
Well, I’m going to say to you,
this is my explanation, okay,

137
00:09:12,900 –> 00:09:17,200
now listen carefully to this.
I don’t believe lot was offering

138
00:09:17,200 –> 00:09:21,000
his daughters.
I believe it was a stinging and

139
00:09:21,000 –> 00:09:24,900
a cynical rebuke to the men.
He actually came out of the

140
00:09:24,900 –> 00:09:28,000
door, shut the door behind them
and he says, you’re all Wicked.

141
00:09:30,000 –> 00:09:32,500
I’ve got two virgin daughters in
my house.

142
00:09:32,600 –> 00:09:36,400
Why don’t you have them?
And it was a cynical rebuke.

143
00:09:38,500 –> 00:09:41,200
You filthy perverts, you
shouldn’t want these men.

144
00:09:42,600 –> 00:09:45,600
And I’ll tell you, that’s the
reaction of the men.

145
00:09:46,100 –> 00:09:52,800
They take lots.
Words as a stinging rebuke, they

146
00:09:52,800 –> 00:09:56,800
don’t say to themselves.
Well, on one hand, We have his

147
00:09:56,800 –> 00:10:01,100
two virgin daughters, and on the
other hand, we’ve got the men

148
00:10:01,300 –> 00:10:04,100
that’s in his house which one,
which one will you choose?

149
00:10:04,700 –> 00:10:07,400
They say, who do you think?
You are to rebuke us?

150
00:10:07,700 –> 00:10:10,500
What you’re going to be a judge?
Now, judging our lifestyle and

151
00:10:10,500 –> 00:10:13,600
our choices and they go for his
throat.

152
00:10:13,600 –> 00:10:15,600
In fact, what does the word say
there?

153
00:10:15,600 –> 00:10:16,900
When it says, they pressed him
saw?

154
00:10:16,900 –> 00:10:20,100
Can you guys read that verse?
For me, it’s in Genesis 19.

155
00:10:20,800 –> 00:10:25,800
Call me to find it for you. 10
verse 9.

156
00:10:26,900 –> 00:10:28,500
Somebody read that for me,
please.

157
00:10:50,100 –> 00:10:53,400
Listen, get back.
When we’re finished with these

158
00:10:53,400 –> 00:10:56,900
guys is going to be worse for
you and they pressed him saw the

159
00:10:56,900 –> 00:10:59,500
WordPress.
Saw the WordPress means to Peck

160
00:11:00,100 –> 00:11:04,100
to Peck, and I think they were
actually punching him and ride

161
00:11:04,100 –> 00:11:07,100
and they’ll in Watched him, they
started to kick in and to beat

162
00:11:07,100 –> 00:11:10,100
him and the angels reached
opened the door and through the

163
00:11:10,108 –> 00:11:13,200
door recovered lot and brought
him inside probably with blood

164
00:11:13,200 –> 00:11:17,400
running down his face.
And he finally stood up for the

165
00:11:17,400 –> 00:11:20,000
truth.
Finally.

166
00:11:20,500 –> 00:11:22,500
Now that little phrase.
Do you want to take a note of

167
00:11:22,508 –> 00:11:24,600
this, where it says, they
pressed him saw.

168
00:11:24,700 –> 00:11:30,400
It’s exactly the same phrase in
verse 3, Can somebody read for

169
00:11:30,400 –> 00:11:31,100
me?
Verse three?

170
00:11:31,100 –> 00:11:37,600
Please guys.
Um, strongly.

171
00:11:37,600 –> 00:11:43,900
So they turned inside out and
you made them feel like, I say

172
00:11:43,900 –> 00:11:47,300
that, they pressed him, he
pressed them strongly.

173
00:11:47,400 –> 00:11:50,000
So lots going no no no.
You can’t, you can and they

174
00:11:50,000 –> 00:11:51,600
said, listen what we’re OK in
the city.

175
00:11:51,600 –> 00:11:52,800
Okay.
And lot jumps in front of them

176
00:11:52,808 –> 00:11:55,100
against us.
You can’t stay in the city in

177
00:11:55,100 –> 00:11:56,900
the street.
You’ve got to come to my place

178
00:11:57,500 –> 00:11:59,700
and the men that late night.
They pressed him saw him and

179
00:11:59,700 –> 00:12:02,200
pushed him, and shoved him.
And it over here.

180
00:12:02,200 –> 00:12:08,900
This evil Wicked group of
citizens of Sodom They’re using

181
00:12:08,900 –> 00:12:11,100
all their heart mind and soul
and strength.

182
00:12:11,100 –> 00:12:14,800
Two in one, extreme for evil and
write down the other end.

183
00:12:14,800 –> 00:12:20,000
The polar opposite is lat using
all his heart mind, soul, and

184
00:12:20,000 –> 00:12:22,500
strength.
Finally, now the veil off for

185
00:12:22,500 –> 00:12:26,800
good and he’s pushing them.
Pushing them to stay Hospitality

186
00:12:27,100 –> 00:12:31,000
unleavened bread, a fellowship
meal, stay in my house.

187
00:12:31,400 –> 00:12:34,900
Can you see that we can either
use our powers you guys.

188
00:12:35,300 –> 00:12:38,200
You can use all your intellect
and all your resources for you.

189
00:12:39,800 –> 00:12:43,500
Going God, gave them to you.
You can use them for whatever

190
00:12:43,500 –> 00:12:47,400
you want but they’re not yours
their gods.

191
00:12:48,100 –> 00:12:51,500
He wants you to use all your
power for him for righteousness.

192
00:12:52,300 –> 00:12:55,400
Why is the day young people when
God finds out that we’re using

193
00:12:55,400 –> 00:12:58,100
our resources and the power and
the strength and our

194
00:12:58,108 –> 00:13:02,400
personalities?
So evil.

195
00:13:04,800 –> 00:13:07,200
Look at lat.
This is what I believe.

196
00:13:08,100 –> 00:13:11,700
Second, Peter chapter, 2,
righteous lottie’s.

197
00:13:11,700 –> 00:13:15,700
Let’s have a look at this.
I actually before we go there,

198
00:13:18,000 –> 00:13:20,700
before we go there, I want to
show you a chapter, which we

199
00:13:20,700 –> 00:13:21,900
haven’t even looked at, by the
way.

200
00:13:21,900 –> 00:13:25,800
I’m really a Miss.
He, it’s Luke 17 in Luke 17.

201
00:13:25,800 –> 00:13:27,700
We read this.
Now this is interesting.

202
00:13:29,100 –> 00:13:33,000
Has anybody ever had a?
That one of those moments when

203
00:13:33,000 –> 00:13:37,300
finally, the penny drops.
And they go, yes, finally, I got

204
00:13:37,300 –> 00:13:38,400
that.
You ever had one of those

205
00:13:38,400 –> 00:13:42,600
moments moment of daylight.
We finally understand something

206
00:13:42,600 –> 00:13:45,500
like all seed in the light that
you’ve never seen before.

207
00:13:46,600 –> 00:13:52,100
Well, here, Luke 17 happened to
me days of Abraham.

208
00:13:52,800 –> 00:13:55,000
The days of lot the days of
Noah.

209
00:13:55,000 –> 00:13:59,400
Let’s check this out, together.
Look at it, says verse 26 as it

210
00:13:59,400 –> 00:14:04,200
was in the days of Noah.
It’ll be like that in the days

211
00:14:04,200 –> 00:14:07,000
of the son of man though, eating
drinking marrying and giving in

212
00:14:07,000 –> 00:14:09,800
marriage until the day when Noah
entered the Ark and the flood

213
00:14:09,800 –> 00:14:15,800
came and destroyed them.
All verse 28 likewise just as it

214
00:14:15,800 –> 00:14:19,300
was in the days of lot.
They were eating and drinking

215
00:14:19,300 –> 00:14:21,600
buying and selling building and
planting.

216
00:14:22,500 –> 00:14:26,700
Now, here’s the question, it
says, the days of lot.

217
00:14:28,200 –> 00:14:32,000
Who is the most famous
contemporary living in his day?

218
00:14:34,200 –> 00:14:37,500
Why doesn’t it say as it was in
the days of Abraham?

219
00:14:40,200 –> 00:14:42,400
What do you guys reckon?
Why does it say as it was in the

220
00:14:42,408 –> 00:14:53,200
days of Abraham?
Exactly Abraham didn’t live

221
00:14:53,700 –> 00:14:58,100
where lot lot lived, he chose
different days.

222
00:14:58,700 –> 00:15:01,600
Lots days, were completely
different to the days of

223
00:15:01,600 –> 00:15:05,800
Abraham.
Let’s okay, before I put it up

224
00:15:06,000 –> 00:15:09,400
the days of Abraham, I want you
guys just to ask yourself this

225
00:15:09,400 –> 00:15:11,500
question, whose days have you
chosen to live in?

226
00:15:12,000 –> 00:15:15,500
You got the days of lot in your
life going on or you live the

227
00:15:15,500 –> 00:15:18,800
days of Abraham, tell me guys I
want some descriptive words.

228
00:15:18,800 –> 00:15:22,200
Now, what would Would it be like
to live in the days of Abraham?

229
00:15:22,200 –> 00:15:26,700
Describe it to me, I’m Abraham.
Tell me what my day is.

230
00:15:26,700 –> 00:15:37,000
Am I living his life?
What’s it like living the days

231
00:15:37,100 –> 00:15:37,900
guys?
Up the back?

232
00:15:37,900 –> 00:15:41,400
Come on, give us an answer.
Sorry to wake his ass up.

233
00:15:42,900 –> 00:15:48,000
Was it a bad dream?
Come on, what’s it like guys

234
00:15:48,000 –> 00:15:50,500
what would it be like to live
amongst the tents of Abraham?

235
00:15:53,700 –> 00:15:55,700
Simple life?
Yeah, okay, excellent.

236
00:15:55,700 –> 00:15:57,000
Simple life.
What else?

237
00:16:02,200 –> 00:16:04,700
Yeah, you’d be separated.
What would you be doing?

238
00:16:04,700 –> 00:16:06,400
If you’re living among the tents
of Abraham?

239
00:16:11,200 –> 00:16:13,600
Tending, the Sheep, you be
acting like a pilgrim.

240
00:16:15,600 –> 00:16:17,700
What about in regards to the
truth?

241
00:16:22,300 –> 00:16:25,800
You’d be preaching the truth
when people getting converted.

242
00:16:27,000 –> 00:16:29,900
Was as exciting living in the
Ecclesia in Abraham’s day.

243
00:16:30,300 –> 00:16:32,900
Preaching, the truth teaching
people, first principles

244
00:16:33,200 –> 00:16:37,000
teaching children, who have
newly born who had been born in

245
00:16:37,000 –> 00:16:42,000
the house.
About God and the covenants and

246
00:16:42,000 –> 00:16:45,000
what it’s like to live in this
Ecclesia and how good it is to

247
00:16:45,000 –> 00:16:50,100
be attached to the Covenant.
And how this land God’s going to

248
00:16:50,100 –> 00:16:53,500
give it to all of us because we
are the Seed of Abraham, the

249
00:16:53,500 –> 00:16:58,700
days of Abraham was settled and
prosperous and contented.

250
00:17:00,100 –> 00:17:02,900
Sometimes I had to draw their
swords and fight for the truth.

251
00:17:02,900 –> 00:17:06,300
There were exciting times in
times of stress, but the days of

252
00:17:06,300 –> 00:17:11,700
Abraham I’m on a hole where
great days there the days you

253
00:17:11,700 –> 00:17:13,500
want to live it, what were the
days of lot?

254
00:17:13,500 –> 00:17:17,000
Like guys who chose to live in
the days of lot?

255
00:17:21,700 –> 00:17:23,700
Frightening days, terrifying
days.

256
00:17:23,700 –> 00:17:27,900
What else?
What is your closure like?

257
00:17:30,000 –> 00:17:31,900
Absolutely.
Stressed out of your mind.

258
00:17:31,900 –> 00:17:36,300
You exactly.
Rushed hurried days.

259
00:17:36,400 –> 00:17:40,400
Oh, but at the same time, they
had a lot of time for idleness

260
00:17:40,600 –> 00:17:44,900
and eating abundance.
Abundance of fullness of bread.

261
00:17:46,300 –> 00:17:49,700
And idleness.
And buying this and selling

262
00:17:49,700 –> 00:17:51,300
that.
But what about the Ecclesia?

263
00:17:51,400 –> 00:17:52,600
Where were all your friends
will?

264
00:17:52,600 –> 00:17:54,400
None of your friends are in the
truth?

265
00:17:54,800 –> 00:17:59,200
There was no truth in Sodom,
there is no Ecclesia left.

266
00:17:59,500 –> 00:18:03,400
There is no Sunday school.
There were barbecues outside and

267
00:18:03,400 –> 00:18:05,900
business meetings.
To attend to, people were

268
00:18:05,900 –> 00:18:09,300
stressed out of their mind,
living in the hurried, rushed

269
00:18:09,300 –> 00:18:13,800
Crazy Life on the inside, mm,
the days of lot.

270
00:18:16,500 –> 00:18:18,800
Look at that.
Wine dine drink themselves

271
00:18:18,800 –> 00:18:21,200
stupid.
Why the top place to live?

272
00:18:24,500 –> 00:18:26,300
What days do you guys want to
live in?

273
00:18:27,600 –> 00:18:29,700
What days do you think we’ll get
you to the kingdom?

274
00:18:29,900 –> 00:18:31,900
The days of Abraham, on the days
of lot?

275
00:18:32,900 –> 00:18:38,300
You see, you got to choose to
live the days of Abraham and

276
00:18:38,500 –> 00:18:40,800
does anybody think I’m saying
you got to leave the city?

277
00:18:41,200 –> 00:18:43,700
I don’t I’m not going to leave
my town and which I’m living in,

278
00:18:44,100 –> 00:18:47,500
but I got to make priorities to
choose to live the life of

279
00:18:47,500 –> 00:18:50,000
Abraham means.
I choose to prioritize God.

280
00:18:50,000 –> 00:18:54,500
First, the truth first, I choose
to put God and my brothers and

281
00:18:54,500 –> 00:18:57,200
sisters up front in my life.
I choose to love.

282
00:18:57,300 –> 00:19:02,000
Of them, attend the meetings,
make wise choices in regards to

283
00:19:02,200 –> 00:19:04,100
where I’m going to live.
What Ecclesia?

284
00:19:04,100 –> 00:19:07,400
I’m going to go to how I’m going
to assist my brothers and

285
00:19:07,400 –> 00:19:09,300
sisters in the truth.
When somebody asked me, will you

286
00:19:09,300 –> 00:19:13,000
teach Sunday school?
I’m going to say yes, But that

287
00:19:13,000 –> 00:19:15,200
means I’m going to have to study
every single week.

288
00:19:15,300 –> 00:19:21,200
Yes, that’s what it means to
choose the life of Abraham as it

289
00:19:21,200 –> 00:19:24,800
was in the days of lot,
brothers, and sisters, and young

290
00:19:24,800 –> 00:19:26,000
people.
You know what, I used to think,

291
00:19:26,000 –> 00:19:29,600
I used to think the days of
light were days in which well,

292
00:19:29,600 –> 00:19:31,400
we’re just all living in the
days of lot.

293
00:19:31,400 –> 00:19:35,800
There’s no, there’s no choice,
but there is a choice.

294
00:19:36,100 –> 00:19:39,400
The days of Noah are different,
it was Universal.

295
00:19:39,400 –> 00:19:41,600
Noah preached and nothing
changed.

296
00:19:42,600 –> 00:19:44,700
He didn’t preach it.
Still be the same.

297
00:19:46,100 –> 00:19:49,200
But the day’s a lot of
different, you can choose to

298
00:19:49,200 –> 00:19:52,300
leave the days of Abraham or you
can choose to live in the days

299
00:19:52,300 –> 00:19:57,500
of lot.
Now, as I said, this is lot when

300
00:19:57,500 –> 00:19:59,200
he comes into his own.
Look at this.

301
00:20:00,600 –> 00:20:03,100
Sorry about that, the righteous
lat.

302
00:20:04,000 –> 00:20:07,400
Here it is.
This is, this is what I believe.

303
00:20:07,400 –> 00:20:13,200
Now, out of second Peter.
I mean, just look at that list.

304
00:20:14,100 –> 00:20:16,000
Have we seen lot like this
before?

305
00:20:16,300 –> 00:20:20,400
This is Genesis chapter 19.
Lat second, Peter chapter 2 says

306
00:20:20,400 –> 00:20:23,000
he was righteous and I’ve asked
the question to you guys a few

307
00:20:23,000 –> 00:20:24,600
times.
Well, when was he righteous now?

308
00:20:24,600 –> 00:20:27,700
Look at, look at this.
This is what I believe is now

309
00:20:27,700 –> 00:20:32,100
sitting in the gate.
And we alluded to you guys can

310
00:20:32,100 –> 00:20:34,500
check out.
I was I 25, I believe he’s there

311
00:20:34,500 –> 00:20:38,200
as a righteous man stressed out.
He’s got a furrowed brow.

312
00:20:38,200 –> 00:20:41,000
He’s looking really, really
worried and people walk past

313
00:20:41,000 –> 00:20:42,500
him.
So what’s wrong with light?

314
00:20:44,600 –> 00:20:46,100
He doesn’t normally look like
this.

315
00:20:46,100 –> 00:20:48,500
He’s stressed.
He’s trying to get out of the

316
00:20:48,500 –> 00:20:50,800
city.
He wants to find God’s mercy

317
00:20:51,300 –> 00:20:59,100
hoping in his salvation Verse 1
says he runs down and boughs to

318
00:20:59,100 –> 00:21:03,900
the men that are coming to him.
Bowing to them, when was the

319
00:21:03,900 –> 00:21:06,300
last time lot ever bow down to
anybody?

320
00:21:06,800 –> 00:21:10,400
Did he bowed to Melchizedek in
chapter 14 when Abraham worship

321
00:21:10,400 –> 00:21:11,100
milk?
Is it a?

322
00:21:11,600 –> 00:21:15,200
Yeah?
No, a lot didn’t bow down there.

323
00:21:17,300 –> 00:21:20,000
Is anybody think to how did lot
know that these men were

324
00:21:20,000 –> 00:21:22,000
different?
Who came into the city of Sodom

325
00:21:22,000 –> 00:21:24,700
that night?
Why did he choose those ones to

326
00:21:24,700 –> 00:21:27,900
bow down to What do you guys
think?

327
00:21:36,500 –> 00:21:48,300
Yeah.
Exactly.

328
00:21:48,300 –> 00:21:50,500
Will tell me, what do you think?
The men of Sodom would look

329
00:21:50,500 –> 00:21:54,100
like?
Quincy wusses.

330
00:21:56,500 –> 00:22:00,600
Walking into the street, the
filth and utter rubbish.

331
00:22:00,600 –> 00:22:04,600
That would have filed past lot
every single day.

332
00:22:05,500 –> 00:22:07,100
These men look, nothing like
that.

333
00:22:07,100 –> 00:22:09,600
They walk differently.
They spoke differently.

334
00:22:09,800 –> 00:22:12,700
They obviously just their
appearance was different.

335
00:22:12,700 –> 00:22:15,500
Maybe they, they were dressed
perhaps like those from the

336
00:22:15,500 –> 00:22:18,600
tents of Abraham.
He knew they were different,

337
00:22:18,600 –> 00:22:20,400
special boy.
I’ve got to look after these

338
00:22:20,400 –> 00:22:22,200
men.
He’d boughs down to the look at

339
00:22:22,200 –> 00:22:24,900
this.
He shows, love, and he’s

340
00:22:24,900 –> 00:22:28,700
concerned because he Presses
them sword to not allow them to

341
00:22:28,700 –> 00:22:31,300
stay in the street.
He could have said, well fine,

342
00:22:31,300 –> 00:22:35,200
it’s up to you off you go.
No way maybe in his life, he had

343
00:22:35,200 –> 00:22:36,800
a wish.
Somebody had oppressed him saw

344
00:22:36,800 –> 00:22:39,300
and stopped him from making a
bad decision, Rosie.

345
00:22:41,400 –> 00:22:43,800
Just everyone noticing.
This is the first question for

346
00:22:43,800 –> 00:22:46,100
the whole week.
I’m really excited.

347
00:22:46,100 –> 00:22:55,800
Okay.
Who knows?

348
00:22:55,800 –> 00:22:57,900
I reckon.
He’s probably praying for God to

349
00:22:58,000 –> 00:23:01,000
get him out of the place.
Praying for God to release him

350
00:23:01,100 –> 00:23:04,400
and maybe he’s there waiting
praying hoping for deliverance

351
00:23:04,400 –> 00:23:06,900
in any form.
Probably, who knows.

352
00:23:08,300 –> 00:23:11,500
He hasn’t spoken to his uncle
Abraham for perhaps 15 years.

353
00:23:12,300 –> 00:23:14,500
Imagine how excited would be to
see this.

354
00:23:15,900 –> 00:23:17,600
I think that he doesn’t know
they’re Angels though.

355
00:23:17,600 –> 00:23:21,700
He entertains them unawares like
Hebrews. 13 tells us but he

356
00:23:21,700 –> 00:23:23,600
knows there’s something
seriously different.

357
00:23:23,600 –> 00:23:26,300
Maybe it’s a message from
Abraham, who knows?

358
00:23:27,700 –> 00:23:30,600
Who knows where we’ll be up to
that.

359
00:23:30,600 –> 00:23:33,200
Answer your question.
I’m so excited was a question

360
00:23:36,300 –> 00:23:38,800
hospitable.
He gives them unleavened bread.

361
00:23:38,800 –> 00:23:40,000
What’s unleavened bread?
Like?

362
00:23:40,000 –> 00:23:41,800
I mean you could tease ideas out
here, couldn’t you?

363
00:23:41,800 –> 00:23:44,700
That this is a religious
Fellowship meal, that light Now

364
00:23:44,700 –> 00:23:48,200
is acting in a way, which Chi
this is uncharacteristic.

365
00:23:48,200 –> 00:23:51,900
We haven’t seen a lot in this
same form and he hands

366
00:23:51,900 –> 00:23:56,300
unleavened bread to these men.
Ha when Lots preparing the food

367
00:23:56,300 –> 00:23:58,800
in his house and showing
Hospitality What’s missing?

368
00:24:07,700 –> 00:24:10,100
Yeah.
She’s not there but Abraham and

369
00:24:10,100 –> 00:24:13,800
Sarah together.
A showing Hospitality to the

370
00:24:13,800 –> 00:24:19,100
angels, but where’s mrs.
Lat is she even in the house?

371
00:24:20,200 –> 00:24:22,600
I don’t know, maybe she’s out
shopping, who knows?

372
00:24:23,000 –> 00:24:27,100
Who knows what she’s doing, but
is no record of her.

373
00:24:27,400 –> 00:24:31,000
Is she a problem?
Yes, does she have issues?

374
00:24:31,200 –> 00:24:34,100
Yes, whose fault is it?
That she’s got issues and

375
00:24:34,100 –> 00:24:39,200
problems.
I reckon has lots fault.

376
00:24:39,300 –> 00:24:42,700
Who took it down to Sodom again,
in the first place, who kept her

377
00:24:42,700 –> 00:24:46,900
in the city, who raised the
children in this environment.

378
00:24:47,000 –> 00:24:50,200
Lots the brother, Lots, the
father, Lots, the husband, it’s

379
00:24:50,200 –> 00:24:59,400
his choice, it’s his fault.
Shows, brotherly, love, and

380
00:24:59,400 –> 00:25:02,600
bravery the knocking.
At the door, wanting these men,

381
00:25:02,600 –> 00:25:06,100
he goes out and he suffers.
He even tries to proclaim the

382
00:25:06,100 –> 00:25:10,100
truth by saying don’t do so
wickedly tries to turn them from

383
00:25:10,100 –> 00:25:12,000
their way.
He tries to convert his

384
00:25:12,000 –> 00:25:15,400
sons-in-law to come with him.
We’ve got to get out of the

385
00:25:15,400 –> 00:25:20,100
city, he suffers for the truth.
And we’re going to see

386
00:25:20,100 –> 00:25:23,400
acknowledges the grace of God
and lat the righteous lot did

387
00:25:23,400 –> 00:25:26,700
not look back.
God said, don’t look back and

388
00:25:26,700 –> 00:25:29,400
lot was going for his life and
off.

389
00:25:29,400 –> 00:25:33,500
He went you wanted out of there
and I believe his heart was no

390
00:25:33,500 –> 00:25:37,100
longer in Sodom.
He snapped out of it that

391
00:25:37,100 –> 00:25:45,400
hypnotizing persuasion.
All the days of Sodom and

392
00:25:45,400 –> 00:25:48,700
Gomorrah.
When everything say all the

393
00:25:48,700 –> 00:25:53,100
silver and the gold, which
promised him a life of luxury,

394
00:25:53,500 –> 00:25:57,600
only turned out to be a life of
stress and recklessness.

395
00:25:58,200 –> 00:26:01,300
He’d lost his wife, we’re going
to approach.

396
00:26:01,300 –> 00:26:05,400
He loses all his family.
His daughters, he’s humiliated,

397
00:26:05,400 –> 00:26:11,100
he loses his staff, he loses his
occupation, his business, his

398
00:26:11,100 –> 00:26:16,200
money, his dignity, he loses his
Integrity, his credibility, no

399
00:26:16,200 –> 00:26:19,200
one in Sodom even listens to him
and he even loses.

400
00:26:19,200 –> 00:26:21,700
This is not the way I’d write
the end of the book, he even

401
00:26:21,700 –> 00:26:24,500
loses his opportunity to
reconcile with his brother

402
00:26:24,500 –> 00:26:28,300
Abraham.
It’s a really sad picture.

403
00:26:28,300 –> 00:26:31,600
If I was writing the story of
lot, I wouldn’t have ended it

404
00:26:31,600 –> 00:26:36,400
like this.
At least we have that to see at

405
00:26:36,400 –> 00:26:42,300
least is a bit of good there.
That’s trying to hold on and

406
00:26:42,300 –> 00:26:46,800
we’re all a bit like lat.
We’re all a bit liking as I said

407
00:26:46,800 –> 00:26:48,600
the other day you had good
intentions.

408
00:26:49,300 –> 00:26:52,300
And so the Angels say to him, if
you just go back now the angel

409
00:26:52,300 –> 00:26:55,200
saved a lot.
Come on, get up.

410
00:26:55,800 –> 00:26:59,000
Let’s get going and chapter 19.
You got to get out of here.

411
00:26:59,000 –> 00:27:02,800
Having you got anybody else and
he can’t get his sons-in-law out

412
00:27:02,800 –> 00:27:06,800
of bed.
He can’t get them to leave the

413
00:27:06,800 –> 00:27:09,200
house.
Can you remember, anybody else

414
00:27:09,300 –> 00:27:11,600
who was trying hard to get
somebody else out of bed?

415
00:27:14,300 –> 00:27:19,000
Remember Abraham’s brother meant
the snorer nahor Abraham’s

416
00:27:19,000 –> 00:27:20,900
couldn’t get in to leave.
Hey, Ran!

417
00:27:21,800 –> 00:27:24,100
So Lots.
Now, in the same situation,

418
00:27:24,600 –> 00:27:28,500
desperately trying to get his
children out of the city and

419
00:27:28,500 –> 00:27:32,200
everyone says your dad, y’all
laughing out loud at him.

420
00:27:32,400 –> 00:27:36,100
You’re a great big joke.
Dad, we’ve never heard you talk

421
00:27:36,100 –> 00:27:38,500
like this before.
That’s a good one.

422
00:27:38,500 –> 00:27:40,700
Can’t wait to tell the boys in
the office tomorrow.

423
00:27:42,400 –> 00:27:46,100
Lot was just blowing his mind
trying to get him out of there.

424
00:27:46,700 –> 00:27:48,800
Trying everything.
They don’t want to listen.

425
00:27:49,800 –> 00:27:53,500
Young people don’t let
yourselves get to that extent

426
00:27:53,500 –> 00:27:55,600
where somebody can stand here
and talk to you and you’re just

427
00:27:55,600 –> 00:27:58,000
going on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

428
00:27:59,300 –> 00:28:03,700
And you’re not listening.
But it’s think in these times

429
00:28:03,700 –> 00:28:06,500
are important.
The days of lot aren’t days that

430
00:28:06,500 –> 00:28:10,400
you go and want to live in the
days of Abraham, the ones you

431
00:28:10,400 –> 00:28:11,900
want to choose.
Now, look what happens.

432
00:28:13,000 –> 00:28:15,700
They take him.
I actually grabbed him by the

433
00:28:15,700 –> 00:28:18,000
hands and they dragged him out
of the city.

434
00:28:18,300 –> 00:28:22,100
Drag him out, drop him and his
wife and his two, daughters at

435
00:28:22,100 –> 00:28:25,400
the Gate of the city and lots.
Now, he’s here.

436
00:28:25,400 –> 00:28:28,200
What is he going to do?
And they say like, go just get

437
00:28:28,200 –> 00:28:31,300
going where to get up to the
Hills.

438
00:28:31,600 –> 00:28:34,600
Okay, I’m too scared.
If you had a flat up to the

439
00:28:34,600 –> 00:28:37,200
hills and over the hill, what
would he have found?

440
00:28:44,300 –> 00:28:48,800
Abraham had a just kept running
over the hill and far away.

441
00:28:49,000 –> 00:28:51,200
He would have ended up in the
tents of Abraham.

442
00:28:51,600 –> 00:28:54,700
Sorry, Father, Abraham on a
reconcile with you and my two

443
00:28:54,700 –> 00:28:57,800
daughters are here.
They need husband’s coming back

444
00:28:57,800 –> 00:28:59,800
to the truth.
I’m coming back to God, I want

445
00:28:59,800 –> 00:29:01,900
to be in the Covenant
relationship with you.

446
00:29:02,300 –> 00:29:09,200
I’ll submit to whatever ritual
God asks But he’s I don’t want

447
00:29:09,200 –> 00:29:14,000
to go up there, a wild beast, my
devour me, look, there’s a

448
00:29:14,000 –> 00:29:17,600
little city over here, sodom’s
big and rough, and tough, and

449
00:29:17,600 –> 00:29:21,700
terrible, but there’s a little
ones or please let me go there

450
00:29:21,900 –> 00:29:28,900
just a little city.
And the am, the angel is

451
00:29:28,900 –> 00:29:30,700
actually patient.
That’s like I’d sit there.

452
00:29:30,700 –> 00:29:32,700
Got a lot.
Get going if you don’t get

453
00:29:32,700 –> 00:29:34,100
going.
Now I’m going to put you back in

454
00:29:34,100 –> 00:29:40,700
the city.
He even manages to negotiate

455
00:29:41,000 –> 00:29:45,700
because God so merciful our city
that has a bull’s-eye on it.

456
00:29:45,800 –> 00:29:47,600
That’s earmarked for
Destruction.

457
00:29:48,100 –> 00:29:52,100
It’s salvation God’s going to
blow zor out of the ground

458
00:29:52,100 –> 00:29:53,900
because lot pleads with him.
He says.

459
00:29:53,900 –> 00:29:56,200
Okay, I’ll spare that City off.
You go.

460
00:29:56,300 –> 00:29:59,300
I can’t even believe that I
wouldn’t do it.

461
00:29:59,500 –> 00:30:01,400
I wouldn’t give him one more
inch.

462
00:30:02,700 –> 00:30:05,400
God.
So, merciful and even in this

463
00:30:05,400 –> 00:30:09,500
negotiating, I believe.
Now, lot, what are you doing?

464
00:30:09,600 –> 00:30:14,400
It’s his wife has time to
reflect and snap out of it.

465
00:30:14,400 –> 00:30:16,700
What am I thinking?
I don’t want to leave this

466
00:30:16,700 –> 00:30:24,500
place. and we, We rebuke her and
we criticize her.

467
00:30:24,500 –> 00:30:26,300
But young people, you think
about it.

468
00:30:26,500 –> 00:30:30,500
It was her City.
It was where she lived.

469
00:30:32,000 –> 00:30:37,300
All her friends were there.
This is where her children grew

470
00:30:37,300 –> 00:30:42,100
up a special things were in the
house that she, and her husband

471
00:30:42,100 –> 00:30:46,700
had actually built together, she
didn’t want to leave and whose

472
00:30:46,700 –> 00:30:49,100
fault was that I believe it was
lots fault.

473
00:30:50,000 –> 00:30:51,900
Fellas.
When you guys grow up, you got

474
00:30:51,900 –> 00:30:57,300
to be leaders not wusses lead.
Go the right way.

475
00:30:57,300 –> 00:31:01,200
Make the right choices.
It was his fault that she didn’t

476
00:31:01,200 –> 00:31:04,500
want to leave that City.
And when it says she turned into

477
00:31:04,500 –> 00:31:07,800
a pillar of salt, it wasn’t like
in some Indiana Jones Moving,

478
00:31:07,800 –> 00:31:12,800
she’s running all this, he goes
click and it turns into a pillar

479
00:31:12,800 –> 00:31:15,600
of salt.
Like that she no more turned

480
00:31:16,200 –> 00:31:19,800
magically into a pillar of salt.
Then it says of Sodom and

481
00:31:19,800 –> 00:31:23,700
Gomorrah in second, Peter
chapter 2 that God turned the

482
00:31:23,700 –> 00:31:26,500
city’s into Ash.
He didn’t just go you know

483
00:31:26,500 –> 00:31:31,000
Abracadabra he blew the biggest
hole in the ground that the

484
00:31:31,000 –> 00:31:34,700
world’s ever seen.
How it turned into Ash and

485
00:31:34,700 –> 00:31:38,100
that’s how she turned into salt
fire and brimstone in that place

486
00:31:38,300 –> 00:31:40,800
because when she looked back
it’s not just a kick just not a

487
00:31:41,000 –> 00:31:44,500
tiny little glance backwards.
God wasn’t saying Abraham don’t

488
00:31:44,500 –> 00:31:48,600
watch the fireworks, he was
saying to him get out of here

489
00:31:48,600 –> 00:31:50,000
and don’t get back to this
place.

490
00:31:50,000 –> 00:31:51,900
Get your heart out of there when
she looked back.

491
00:31:52,100 –> 00:31:56,200
It’s a careful sustained
Desiring.

492
00:31:56,200 –> 00:31:59,000
Look a glance that says who want
to go back?

493
00:32:00,500 –> 00:32:03,800
And I believe she did go back
because she went back and

494
00:32:03,800 –> 00:32:06,500
stopped and Abraham, and sorry
lot, and his two daughters got

495
00:32:06,500 –> 00:32:09,000
behind a rock, and around a
corner and outer side on their

496
00:32:09,000 –> 00:32:10,700
waiters or mum’s.
Not here.

497
00:32:10,700 –> 00:32:13,400
She’ll be on her way.
Don’t worry, let’s go press on.

498
00:32:13,900 –> 00:32:17,900
She went back and when God blew
the place up she was overwhelmed

499
00:32:17,900 –> 00:32:20,400
by that destruction.
That’s how she turned into a

500
00:32:20,408 –> 00:32:31,300
pillar of salt Blown Away.
Luke 17 says, if you’re on the

501
00:32:31,300 –> 00:32:38,100
rooftop, Don’t go back into your
house, to get your stuff.

502
00:32:38,500 –> 00:32:43,200
And the next words are remember,
Lot’s, wife.

503
00:32:44,800 –> 00:32:46,300
It was more than just a look
back.

504
00:32:47,100 –> 00:32:51,300
Genesis says it was a look back.
Luke 17 says she went back.

505
00:32:52,300 –> 00:32:55,500
She went back to get her stuff.
She went back because the heart

506
00:32:55,500 –> 00:32:57,500
was back there.
She went back because all her

507
00:32:57,500 –> 00:33:00,200
friends, everything she owned
was back in that City.

508
00:33:00,500 –> 00:33:05,100
And you know what?
She loved the big city lot with

509
00:33:05,100 –> 00:33:08,900
all the credit cards.
She didn’t want the small-time

510
00:33:08,900 –> 00:33:14,900
little tiny bitty lot in a
little tiny city called Zoar.

511
00:33:15,800 –> 00:33:19,700
She wanted to live in the big
strapping, luxurious city of

512
00:33:19,700 –> 00:33:23,500
Sodom and even worse.
What if my husband got the idea

513
00:33:23,500 –> 00:33:26,300
that he wouldn’t even like zuhr
and he wanted to go back and

514
00:33:26,300 –> 00:33:29,500
live in the tent with Uncle
Abraham, she could never have

515
00:33:29,500 –> 00:33:32,800
that.
What does Abraham do the next

516
00:33:32,800 –> 00:33:35,200
day?
When it blows up?

517
00:33:36,000 –> 00:33:38,200
It says he gets up early in the
morning.

518
00:33:40,100 –> 00:33:44,200
Why was he even bothering the
deal is sealed?

519
00:33:45,400 –> 00:33:48,600
He goes and looks from the place
where he left God the day before

520
00:33:48,700 –> 00:33:50,900
and he looks out.
He sees the plume of smoke going

521
00:33:50,900 –> 00:33:53,000
up.
What does that mean?

522
00:33:53,400 –> 00:33:56,700
What is the plume of smoke
rising up to heaven mean to

523
00:33:56,700 –> 00:34:02,700
Abraham?
Yeah, there weren’t even 10

524
00:34:02,700 –> 00:34:06,700
people in the city.
He negotiated for the Salvation

525
00:34:06,700 –> 00:34:09,199
of the city’s, if there were 10
righteous.

526
00:34:09,600 –> 00:34:14,900
And God had now brought his
destruction upon the cities and

527
00:34:14,900 –> 00:34:18,000
Abraham looks, and he goes there
weren’t even ten.

528
00:34:18,300 –> 00:34:23,100
I started at 50 optimistically.
And now I see there’s not even

529
00:34:23,100 –> 00:34:26,699
10 what am I doing?
And he would have scouted around

530
00:34:26,699 –> 00:34:29,199
and looked for looked for a
savior.

531
00:34:29,300 –> 00:34:33,000
I sorry, I am a survivor.
Look for somebody to come and

532
00:34:33,000 –> 00:34:36,199
tell him lots.
Okay, it’s alright lot.

533
00:34:36,199 –> 00:34:38,100
Where are you?
He’s looking around and there’s

534
00:34:38,100 –> 00:34:43,199
nobody there and we’re led to
the Natural assumption young

535
00:34:43,199 –> 00:34:47,699
people but Abraham never finds
out that lots of wives.

536
00:34:48,600 –> 00:34:52,100
Think about that.
We know that he had Ammon and

537
00:34:52,100 –> 00:34:55,300
Moab as his children, Isaac and
Jacob would have found out later

538
00:34:55,600 –> 00:34:59,400
that lot did survive, but
there’s no record of us ever

539
00:34:59,400 –> 00:35:02,800
finding out that Abraham knew
that his son in the faith

540
00:35:02,800 –> 00:35:04,300
actually made it out of the
city.

541
00:35:04,700 –> 00:35:06,700
And then, in fact, there was
only one righteous one.

542
00:35:07,900 –> 00:35:10,200
It’s so you got the Final
Chapter to look forward to you

543
00:35:10,200 –> 00:35:12,900
ever, think about the you ever
think about the Judgment seat of

544
00:35:12,900 –> 00:35:16,400
Christ.
Lots there in Abraham’s there.

545
00:35:17,400 –> 00:35:20,400
How surprised will Abraham be to
see his son in the faith?

546
00:35:20,400 –> 00:35:24,500
Lat, I’m shocked.
And surprised you’re here and

547
00:35:24,500 –> 00:35:28,500
like races across and falls at
his feet and says I’m so sorry.

548
00:35:28,500 –> 00:35:32,800
Father, father Abraham.
I never reconciled with you and

549
00:35:32,800 –> 00:35:35,400
he tells him the story, how he
stayed in the cave and he

550
00:35:35,400 –> 00:35:37,600
shouldn’t have.
He should have come back to the

551
00:35:37,600 –> 00:35:40,300
tents.
He’s like the prodigal son, that

552
00:35:40,300 –> 00:35:44,100
never comes home, young people
get back to the tents of Abraham

553
00:35:44,100 –> 00:35:45,400
died.
I should have come back to you

554
00:35:45,400 –> 00:35:48,000
and said I’m sorry.
Everything you did.

555
00:35:48,000 –> 00:35:50,800
I did the opposite.
I chose wrongly in my life.

556
00:35:51,200 –> 00:35:55,400
People warned me.
But I made the wrong choice.

557
00:35:57,800 –> 00:36:02,500
And Christ turns to Abraham and
says to him Abraham, I know

558
00:36:02,500 –> 00:36:06,500
you’re surprised that, you know
why Lots here lots in the

559
00:36:06,500 –> 00:36:10,500
Kingdom because you never gave
up on him because of all your

560
00:36:10,500 –> 00:36:13,900
love, your incessant love for
your son, Abraham as for your

561
00:36:13,900 –> 00:36:19,400
son lat, all those prayers, all
those intercessions on his

562
00:36:19,400 –> 00:36:22,300
behalf all the things you did.
That’s why he’s here.

563
00:36:22,800 –> 00:36:26,700
And I often think to when the
Angels stood there, ready to

564
00:36:26,700 –> 00:36:28,100
take lat.
Doubt.

565
00:36:29,100 –> 00:36:32,900
If Abraham hadn’t offered the
prayer the day before saying,

566
00:36:33,100 –> 00:36:37,700
please don’t slay the righteous
with the wicked, get them out of

567
00:36:37,700 –> 00:36:40,700
there.
That if Abraham hadn’t have said

568
00:36:40,700 –> 00:36:43,100
that perhaps the Angels would
have said that a lot.

569
00:36:43,300 –> 00:36:47,800
We’re going you coming or not
and walked out and left in their

570
00:36:47,800 –> 00:36:49,700
reluctantly not knowing what to
do.

571
00:36:50,200 –> 00:36:54,300
But because of Abraham, the
Angels reach across and they

572
00:36:54,300 –> 00:36:56,900
grab lot by the hand.
They can’t wait any longer and

573
00:36:56,900 –> 00:36:58,600
they dragged him out of the
city.

574
00:36:58,600 –> 00:37:03,300
Physically, if you look up
Genesis chapter 19 and verse 29,

575
00:37:03,300 –> 00:37:06,900
it says in the day when God
destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah it

576
00:37:06,900 –> 00:37:11,600
says he remembered.
Abraham and he brought lot out.

577
00:37:13,600 –> 00:37:18,500
So we’re told that because of
the love God had for Abraham and

578
00:37:18,500 –> 00:37:21,100
the esteem and respect he had
for him.

579
00:37:22,700 –> 00:37:26,400
That’s why he saved lot.
Hey, guys.

580
00:37:26,700 –> 00:37:29,500
What about your friends?
Can you imagine getting to the

581
00:37:29,500 –> 00:37:31,600
Judgment seat of Christ and
Christ saying to you?

582
00:37:32,200 –> 00:37:35,400
That, that’s that girl over
there that young person or that

583
00:37:35,400 –> 00:37:38,400
family, they’re only going to be
in the Kingdom because you never

584
00:37:38,600 –> 00:37:40,800
gave up on them.
All those letters of

585
00:37:40,800 –> 00:37:43,100
encouragement, you kept sending
when everybody else said you’re

586
00:37:43,100 –> 00:37:45,500
an idiot why you bother with
them, they don’t even want the

587
00:37:45,500 –> 00:37:48,300
truth because you never stop
praying for them.

588
00:37:48,600 –> 00:37:51,500
And because you never stop doing
good things for them, they were

589
00:37:51,500 –> 00:37:55,300
managed just to get over the
line by grace that we’ve all In

590
00:37:55,300 –> 00:37:57,000
saved.
Imagine Christ saying that to

591
00:37:57,000 –> 00:38:01,700
you young man there in the truth
there in the Kingdom because of

592
00:38:01,700 –> 00:38:05,200
what you did.
So that’s our love that we

593
00:38:05,200 –> 00:38:08,700
experience from God Abraham
learnt that type of love from

594
00:38:08,700 –> 00:38:12,900
his heavenly father who never
gave up on him who always had

595
00:38:12,900 –> 00:38:18,700
patience with him.
Love that Christ has for us is

596
00:38:18,700 –> 00:38:20,900
the reason why we’re all going
to be in the Kingdom guys.

597
00:38:21,800 –> 00:38:24,900
And if you guys going to get
baptized, are you actually

598
00:38:24,900 –> 00:38:28,400
planning for that?
Are you actually planning in

599
00:38:28,400 –> 00:38:33,100
your life to put yourself second
for the rest of your life and

600
00:38:33,100 –> 00:38:35,300
put your brothers and sisters?
And God first?

601
00:38:36,000 –> 00:38:38,400
Are you playing to get baptized
so that you can actually now

602
00:38:38,400 –> 00:38:40,800
work in your Oakley ages and
say?

603
00:38:40,800 –> 00:38:46,800
Yes, yes and volunteer for acts
of service to assist Out of

604
00:38:46,800 –> 00:38:49,300
love.
I mean it’s only right isn’t it

605
00:38:49,900 –> 00:38:53,300
not out of Duty but as a real
natural reaction because it’s

606
00:38:53,300 –> 00:38:56,300
shown to because of the love
shown to you.

607
00:38:57,200 –> 00:38:58,500
Is that what you guys are going
to do?

608
00:38:58,900 –> 00:39:01,700
It’ll make that decision.
You got to make it this week.

609
00:39:02,800 –> 00:39:05,800
You’re all old enough to start
doing first principles and to

610
00:39:06,400 –> 00:39:09,900
focus on it go.
Then in that direction, go that

611
00:39:09,900 –> 00:39:14,500
way.
I mean, I, you know, the life of

612
00:39:14,500 –> 00:39:16,400
lot at the end, what does it
mean to you guys?

613
00:39:18,400 –> 00:39:20,300
I haven’t got all the answers
for it.

614
00:39:20,300 –> 00:39:21,900
I don’t know why he stayed in
the cave.

615
00:39:21,900 –> 00:39:24,300
I don’t know why the things that
in the cave actually happened.

616
00:39:24,300 –> 00:39:28,000
I don’t understand why he didn’t
get out of that cave, and going

617
00:39:28,000 –> 00:39:31,400
to reconcile with his brother.
But we know that an offended

618
00:39:31,400 –> 00:39:33,100
Brothers harder to win the inner
city.

619
00:39:34,800 –> 00:39:36,900
If there’s something that you
can’t do to win your brother

620
00:39:36,900 –> 00:39:39,800
over, don’t give up.
Even when everybody else

621
00:39:39,800 –> 00:39:43,700
criticizes you and said say to
you it’s not worth wasting your

622
00:39:43,700 –> 00:39:48,100
time.
Never underestimate the power of

623
00:39:48,100 –> 00:39:50,800
our heavenly father to recover
somebody.

624
00:39:52,000 –> 00:39:56,500
Think about that, guys.
So when you choose the life when

625
00:39:56,500 –> 00:40:00,700
you leave Shippensburg for
yourselves, Choose a peaceful

626
00:40:00,700 –> 00:40:03,800

Choose to put yourself out and
choose not to be offended when

632
00:40:23,000 –> 00:40:27,500
someone says boom to you, don’t
be offended.

633
00:40:29,300 –> 00:40:33,000
Choose to say I’m going to work
with that brother and sister as

634
00:40:33,000 –> 00:40:39,800
best as I can.
And I’m going to be faithful and

635
00:40:39,800 –> 00:40:43,400
incessant in my care and in my
prayers for that person.

636
00:40:44,600 –> 00:40:51,100
Choose to try to deliver.
Your brethren choose to put your

637
00:40:51,100 –> 00:40:53,900
little gadgets away and wake up
and go.

638
00:40:53,900 –> 00:40:59,500
Oh, there’s other people here.
Choose to live the life of likes

639
00:40:59,700 –> 00:41:03,600
aside the life of Abram cancel
that that phrase out of Hazel

640
00:41:03,600 –> 00:41:06,600
that comment choose to live the
life of Abraham and not the life

641
00:41:06,600 –> 00:41:10,200
of lat.
It’s think about that guys, how

642
00:41:10,200 –> 00:41:13,200
important that is.
There are other people in this

643
00:41:13,200 –> 00:41:15,600
world, you know.
Do you actually did you get a

644
00:41:15,607 –> 00:41:18,500
picture of everybody here?
Like a special picture of the

645
00:41:18,500 –> 00:41:20,000
art of the teens at
Shippensburg?

646
00:41:20,000 –> 00:41:26,600
Do you guys do that or not?
It’s really sad as bows but say,

647
00:41:26,600 –> 00:41:29,100
if you did, if you guys ever got
a picture of a young people’s

648
00:41:29,100 –> 00:41:31,900
group before that you’re in?
Who’s the first person you look

649
00:41:31,900 –> 00:41:35,400
for in the picture?
Who’s the first person?

650
00:41:36,100 –> 00:41:38,200
Exactly.
Who is look for yourself, why?

651
00:41:40,100 –> 00:41:42,400
And then you stopped and
critique how you look, and then

652
00:41:42,400 –> 00:41:44,200
you might get all out of sorts
because you didn’t look that

653
00:41:44,200 –> 00:41:47,100
good, especially if you’re
picking your nose, you go.

654
00:41:47,100 –> 00:41:48,500
Oh my goodness.
Can’t believe they caught that

655
00:41:48,500 –> 00:41:50,900
on film.
That’s shocking.

656
00:41:51,300 –> 00:41:54,500
I’ll tell you what I always do.
This is the best thing, right?

657
00:41:54,800 –> 00:41:58,500
You’re focusing on yourself and
that picture to the detriment of

658
00:41:58,500 –> 00:42:00,300
everyone else in that in that
photo.

659
00:42:00,500 –> 00:42:03,900
So what you do is you get one of
those Sharpies, the black pens,

660
00:42:04,400 –> 00:42:08,700
just color out your face.
So you’re gone, you’re not

661
00:42:08,700 –> 00:42:10,600
there.
And then what happens

662
00:42:10,700 –> 00:42:14,800
miraculously is other people
appear in the photo who you’ve

663
00:42:14,800 –> 00:42:18,500
never noticed before.
There’s this photo that I

664
00:42:18,508 –> 00:42:22,500
thought was just of me because I
thought the Earth revolved

665
00:42:22,500 –> 00:42:25,800
around me.
I thought it was all about me

666
00:42:26,300 –> 00:42:28,100
and the Ecclesia was here for
me.

667
00:42:28,200 –> 00:42:32,100
It’s not here for you, cross it
out, and then you see all these

668
00:42:32,100 –> 00:42:36,200
other people and then you start
to notice them and maybe if you

669
00:42:36,200 –> 00:42:39,200
notice them young people, Then
you can start to help them and

670
00:42:39,200 –> 00:42:43,800
do something for them to help
them along to the kingdom, that

671
00:42:43,800 –> 00:42:45,600
would be choosing the days of
Abraham.

672
00:42:47,000 –> 00:42:50,200
There, any questions guys about
the last bit of lots life, and

673
00:42:50,200 –> 00:42:55,800
the things you did questions.
You guys want answered, as you

674
00:42:55,800 –> 00:42:58,000
can see, there are a lot of
unanswered questions, we could

675
00:42:58,000 –> 00:43:04,100
go further Valdez descendants
and his daughters.

676
00:43:05,900 –> 00:43:35,400
His attitude.
Because I think this is the

677
00:43:35,400 –> 00:43:38,300
second Peter.
This is the second Peter light

678
00:43:38,500 –> 00:43:41,200
who’s now, righteous, who is Now
ready?

679
00:43:41,200 –> 00:43:43,600
He’s waiting for a moment.
You know what you finally make

680
00:43:43,600 –> 00:43:44,700
that choice.
That’s it.

681
00:43:44,700 –> 00:43:47,100
I’m going to stand for the truth
and you’re waiting for a

682
00:43:47,107 –> 00:43:51,200
catalyst waiting for a moment.
Somebody at work who you haven’t

683
00:43:51,200 –> 00:43:54,400
said anything to you before sir.
She says, at this time soon, as

684
00:43:54,400 –> 00:43:56,400
she asks is only about what I do
on the weekend, I’m going to

685
00:43:56,408 –> 00:43:58,700
stand up and say it this is the
light.

686
00:43:58,700 –> 00:44:01,500
Who’s gone to the gate?
I believe to wait for God.

687
00:44:01,700 –> 00:44:04,900
He’s wanting salvation, he’s
hoping and God’s mercy just

688
00:44:04,900 –> 00:44:08,800
needs something and he sees,
probably what he thinks are men

689
00:44:08,800 –> 00:44:11,300
from the camp of Abraham.
That’s it.

690
00:44:11,300 –> 00:44:13,600
Bang and he does it.
I think he’s ready.

691
00:44:15,800 –> 00:44:19,300
I believe I’m a christadelphians
and I went to church on the

692
00:44:19,300 –> 00:44:23,200
weekend if you don’t.
You know if that’s comfortable

693
00:44:23,200 –> 00:44:27,200
as you can get come out and say
I went to Mike Leisure.

694
00:44:27,300 –> 00:44:30,200
I’m a christadelphians and I got
a front of it.

695
00:44:30,200 –> 00:44:32,500
It’s a two years I don’t even
know you were a religious.

696
00:44:33,200 –> 00:44:35,900
There’s a story about a young
fellow at home who actually got

697
00:44:35,900 –> 00:44:40,300
interested in a girl outside the
meeting and they were nearly

698
00:44:40,300 –> 00:44:43,700
going out.
And he’d always shoot off on a

699
00:44:43,707 –> 00:44:46,200
Friday night.
And she couldn’t contact him on

700
00:44:46,200 –> 00:44:48,200
a Sunday and he’d always fob it
off.

701
00:44:48,200 –> 00:44:50,900
And never tell her why.
And they knew each other for

702
00:44:50,900 –> 00:44:56,500
over two years at Uni, two years
and she was getting frustrated

703
00:44:56,500 –> 00:44:59,400
because, you know, he kept
putting her off and they and she

704
00:44:59,400 –> 00:45:02,100
really wanted to go out with him
and he wasn’t quite ready to

705
00:45:02,100 –> 00:45:05,700
make the decision and they’re in
the car and she reaches down

706
00:45:05,700 –> 00:45:08,600
finds his bit of paper.
And so youth group program, she

707
00:45:08,600 –> 00:45:10,700
got like, what’s this?
He grabs it out of our heads,

708
00:45:10,700 –> 00:45:13,000
trying to hide.
It is She’s like no give it to

709
00:45:13,000 –> 00:45:16,100
me.
You got a church dear, she

710
00:45:16,100 –> 00:45:17,800
couldn’t believe.
He actually was a

711
00:45:17,808 –> 00:45:19,500
christadelphians went to youth
group.

712
00:45:21,200 –> 00:45:24,000
I want to come to, she says, so
she ends up becoming a

713
00:45:24,000 –> 00:45:26,400
christadelphians.
Now that’s one we were

714
00:45:26,400 –> 00:45:31,000
preaching.
I’m not saying do it that way.

715
00:45:31,100 –> 00:45:34,100
That’s pretty hilarious, but
that’s not the way we want to

716
00:45:34,100 –> 00:45:37,600
go, but that’s, it’s The Uncanny
things that happen out there.

717
00:45:38,000 –> 00:45:40,000
Better off coming clean saying
up front.

718
00:45:40,400 –> 00:45:43,700
Yeah, I am a christadelphians.
Come to youth group.

719
00:45:47,200 –> 00:45:49,200
