Class 4 from this series was used in GCT Episode 325.
00:00:00,040 –> 00:00:03,440
Open with hymn and prayer
firstly by seeing the words of
2
00:00:03,440 –> 00:01:00,480
hymn #372.

The.
Great eternal, wise God, Creator
6
00:03:34,400 –> 00:03:40,280
and Sustainer of all life, the
mighty Ale, our Heavenly Father.
7
00:03:41,200 –> 00:03:44,760
And we come unto you at this
time, dear one, to praise your
8
00:03:44,760 –> 00:03:48,240
most holy name for the truly
awesome things that you have
9
00:03:48,240 –> 00:03:52,600
done for us not only today, but
our entire lives.
10
00:03:53,280 –> 00:03:55,840
We thank you, dear God, for the
calling that you’ve caught us
11
00:03:55,840 –> 00:03:58,240
with.
We thank you for the provision,
12
00:03:58,680 –> 00:04:02,120
the means of reconciliation that
you provided by the means of
13
00:04:02,120 –> 00:04:05,240
your Son.
And we thank your Son that he
14
00:04:05,240 –> 00:04:11,400
gave his life for us.
Now, dear God, we come before
15
00:04:11,400 –> 00:04:15,000
thee to ask a blessing upon our
meeting this night.
16
00:04:16,160 –> 00:04:19,160
A blessing, dear God, of wisdom
and understanding.
17
00:04:20,560 –> 00:04:24,920
Understanding that we may listen
intently to the words that are
18
00:04:24,920 –> 00:04:30,440
spoken, your words, thy word,
and how it may affect us.
19
00:04:31,560 –> 00:04:35,000
And then the wisdom to be able
to put the things that we learn
20
00:04:35,000 –> 00:04:40,040
into practice, that we may do
your will and you may be
21
00:04:40,040 –> 00:04:43,800
praised.
Yet, dear God, for all that you
22
00:04:43,800 –> 00:04:44,400
give.
US.
23
00:04:45,120 –> 00:04:49,560
Everything that we have, we
still sin and we still fail you.
24
00:04:50,720 –> 00:04:54,880
And for this we are truly sorry,
and we do seek your merciful
25
00:04:54,880 –> 00:04:58,320
kindness, your forgiveness, that
the things that we have done may
26
00:04:58,320 –> 00:05:00,840
be blotted out and be remembered
no more.
27
00:05:01,640 –> 00:05:03,400
For you truly are a God of
mercy.
28
00:05:04,480 –> 00:05:07,600
So Heavenly Father, we ask a
blessing upon those who are
29
00:05:07,600 –> 00:05:12,400
unable to be with us this night,
that will not be sickness or
30
00:05:12,560 –> 00:05:17,360
frailty of the flesh, that if it
is your will, you will restore
31
00:05:17,360 –> 00:05:20,960
them to full health mentally and
spiritually.
32
00:05:21,920 –> 00:05:25,680
But as in all things, be God,
not our will, but Your will be
33
00:05:25,680 –> 00:05:28,960
done.
And so we place our lives in
34
00:05:28,960 –> 00:05:32,880
your care.
Please now accept our praises
35
00:05:32,880 –> 00:05:37,160
and our thanksgivings as we come
before you through your Son, our
36
00:05:37,160 –> 00:05:39,640
Saviour, the Lord Jesus the
Christ.
37
00:05:40,160 –> 00:05:54,030
Amen.
Now before our brother Sam gets
38
00:05:54,030 –> 00:05:57,510
up to speak to us tonight on
this, on the theme of Caesar’s
39
00:05:57,510 –> 00:06:00,480
Mother, the prophecy, we’re
going to take a reading from
40
00:06:00,520 –> 00:06:03,920
Judges chapter 5.
And before I call brother Tim up
41
00:06:03,920 –> 00:06:07,360
to read that, I’m going to make
sure everyone has their Bible
42
00:06:07,360 –> 00:06:10,320
open and ready because he’s only
reading 3 verses.
43
00:06:11,880 –> 00:06:15,040
So we don’t want you to miss it
and turn up as he’s starting to
44
00:06:15,040 –> 00:06:17,840
read because then we won’t get
the gist of what our brother
45
00:06:17,840 –> 00:06:22,160
Sam’s background is.
So, Brother Tim.
46
00:06:37,000 –> 00:06:39,680
Judges chapter 5, starting from
verse 28.
47
00:06:39,760 –> 00:06:41,680
Reading with you, brothers and
sisters, young people and
48
00:06:41,680 –> 00:06:46,720
friends.
The mother of Sisera looked out
49
00:06:46,760 –> 00:06:49,680
out a window and cried through
the lattice.
50
00:06:50,640 –> 00:06:53,080
Why is his chariot so long in
coming?
51
00:06:53,800 –> 00:06:56,480
Why tarry the wheels of his
Chariots?
52
00:06:57,560 –> 00:07:02,000
Her wise ladies answered her.
Yeah, she returned answer to
53
00:07:02,000 –> 00:07:04,720
herself.
Have they not speed?
54
00:07:05,600 –> 00:07:09,840
Have they not divided?
The prey to every man, a damsel
55
00:07:09,840 –> 00:07:15,080
or two, to Sisera, a prey of
diverse colours, a prey of
56
00:07:15,080 –> 00:07:19,480
diverse colours of needlework,
or diverse colours of needlework
57
00:07:19,640 –> 00:07:22,560
on both sides.
Meet for the next of them that
58
00:07:22,560 –> 00:07:27,800
take the spoil.
So let all thine enemies perish,
59
00:07:27,960 –> 00:07:32,880
O Yahweh, but let them that love
Him be as the Son, where he
60
00:07:32,880 –> 00:07:37,440
goeth forth in his might, and
the land had rest 40 years.
61
00:07:49,420 –> 00:07:52,300
Well good evening brothers and
sisters and Lord Jesus Christ
62
00:07:52,300 –> 00:07:55,740
and young people.
It’s been a a marvellous couple
63
00:07:55,740 –> 00:07:57,140
of days.
I think we’ve put on a couple of
64
00:07:57,140 –> 00:08:01,080
pounds as we’ve enjoyed the
fellowship amongst a number of
65
00:08:01,080 –> 00:08:03,400
brothers and sisters and not
enough exercise.
66
00:08:03,400 –> 00:08:06,960
So, but it’s been modest to be
able to see the wonderful things
67
00:08:06,960 –> 00:08:09,240
of the truth that we have in
common and the fellowship that
68
00:08:09,240 –> 00:08:10,440
we have around the hope of
Israel.
69
00:08:10,440 –> 00:08:13,640
So thank you so much for making
us feel so, so welcome.
70
00:08:15,200 –> 00:08:20,440
So in our studies, we’ve been
considering obviously the story
71
00:08:20,440 –> 00:08:22,640
of, or the remarkable story
really, of Deborah and Bayrack
72
00:08:22,640 –> 00:08:27,680
and the story that outlines what
happens when faithful leadership
73
00:08:27,760 –> 00:08:32,440
is brought amongst us in terms
of its ability to inspire
74
00:08:32,640 –> 00:08:35,200
change.
In the time of Deborah and
75
00:08:35,200 –> 00:08:37,799
Baverick was a time we find the
nation had totally lost sight of
76
00:08:37,799 –> 00:08:41,320
God.
They turned to idols and as a
77
00:08:41,320 –> 00:08:45,080
result of that they failed to
take their inheritance and God
78
00:08:45,080 –> 00:08:47,400
then wipes them out and puts
them under oppression.
79
00:08:47,400 –> 00:08:49,680
And as a result of that
faithless leadership, the
80
00:08:49,680 –> 00:08:53,560
transferring of the truth from
generation to generation, they
81
00:08:53,560 –> 00:08:57,520
fell into the the trap of
serving idols and God sold them
82
00:08:57,840 –> 00:09:01,400
into the hands of a traitor
Jabin, king of Canaan, and were
83
00:09:01,400 –> 00:09:07,080
crushed by Sisera under his iron
fisted grip and under complete
84
00:09:07,080 –> 00:09:09,280
impression.
We saw the nation turn on their
85
00:09:09,280 –> 00:09:13,000
knees to God for help, and yet
their leader, whom God had
86
00:09:13,000 –> 00:09:17,600
requested to lead, wasn’t there.
He was failing to stand up for
87
00:09:17,600 –> 00:09:20,040
his responsibilities.
And the story, as we’ve seen in
88
00:09:20,040 –> 00:09:24,360
Judges Four and five, is the
story of how one remarkable
89
00:09:24,360 –> 00:09:28,520
woman steps up to the plate and
swings and hits a home run as
90
00:09:28,520 –> 00:09:34,520
she coaches Bayrack to uncover
his potential and to take on his
91
00:09:34,520 –> 00:09:38,280
responsibilities and to lead in
the way that God had asked him.
92
00:09:38,400 –> 00:09:41,080
And it was through her
inspirational leadership, you
93
00:09:41,080 –> 00:09:44,720
remember, and the support that
she gave Bayrek very simply by
94
00:09:44,720 –> 00:09:49,000
just going with him because she
understood the need, was able to
95
00:09:49,000 –> 00:09:53,800
inspire change amongst him, who
then inspired the nation to
96
00:09:53,800 –> 00:09:56,720
stand up, who then inspired the
tribes to come.
97
00:09:57,280 –> 00:10:00,320
And all of a sudden, God’s
purpose begins to outwork
98
00:10:00,320 –> 00:10:04,600
amongst the nation as they spark
a military revolution that takes
99
00:10:04,600 –> 00:10:08,440
back all of the territory that
Jaben, King of Kaelin, had
100
00:10:08,440 –> 00:10:12,280
stolen from amongst them.
And the people united together
101
00:10:12,280 –> 00:10:16,000
once more, begin to worship
Yahweh, their father.
102
00:10:16,120 –> 00:10:18,440
And we’ve explored the
remarkable lessons, haven’t we,
103
00:10:18,440 –> 00:10:22,080
that come from the concepts of
leadership that’s seen in
104
00:10:22,080 –> 00:10:26,520
Deborah and in Bairak and by
jail to show that God’s purpose
105
00:10:26,520 –> 00:10:32,640
demands us all as individuals to
stand up and to contribute in
106
00:10:32,640 –> 00:10:34,880
our ecclesias.
Now, I think that one of the
107
00:10:34,880 –> 00:10:37,720
most remarkable things about the
stories is that it doesn’t, it
108
00:10:37,720 –> 00:10:39,880
doesn’t always have to be a Bay
rat, does it?
109
00:10:40,520 –> 00:10:44,360
Not everyone can be a Bay rat,
but everyone can be a Deborah.
110
00:10:45,320 –> 00:10:49,440
Everyone can see a need and take
a matter in private and to help
111
00:10:49,440 –> 00:10:52,920
and coach and inspire each other
to to help in the truth.
112
00:10:53,680 –> 00:10:57,680
And so if we can stand up and be
leaders in that responsibilities
113
00:10:57,680 –> 00:11:01,720
and to fulfill our God-given
roles, we can inspire others to
114
00:11:01,720 –> 00:11:05,680
the potential in the truth as we
walk together in unity to fight
115
00:11:05,680 –> 00:11:08,360
our oppressor.
And at the end of the battle,
116
00:11:08,640 –> 00:11:10,200
Deborah and Bayrack sing the
song.
117
00:11:10,200 –> 00:11:13,720
And in our last class, we saw
the remarkable Jewett that that
118
00:11:13,720 –> 00:11:17,320
these two sing.
And you remember that they sung
119
00:11:17,320 –> 00:11:22,560
this song not to the nation of
Israel, but to the rulers and
120
00:11:22,560 –> 00:11:26,520
the leaders that were amongst
the nation as a warning of what
121
00:11:26,520 –> 00:11:29,040
was about to happen in their
territory.
122
00:11:29,560 –> 00:11:33,000
Jabin, king of Canaan, might
have dominated the North, but
123
00:11:33,000 –> 00:11:36,720
watch out every other king,
Watch out every other Prince,
124
00:11:36,960 –> 00:11:40,720
because God and his people were
coming for seizing their
125
00:11:40,720 –> 00:11:43,240
inheritance.
And so we saw that Deborah and
126
00:11:43,240 –> 00:11:47,920
Bayrak sing about the leaders
that stand up, and then they
127
00:11:47,920 –> 00:11:50,680
sing about the way in which
God’s presence wasn’t like in
128
00:11:50,680 –> 00:11:53,680
times past.
And the nation that flowed from
129
00:11:53,680 –> 00:11:57,320
Mount Table and that took the
territory was like the 10,000
130
00:11:57,320 –> 00:12:01,400
Saints that marched into Canaan
to seize their inheritance, just
131
00:12:01,400 –> 00:12:04,320
like it was from Mount Sinai
unto Mount Sier.
132
00:12:04,960 –> 00:12:08,120
And we saw that that that the
remarkable transformation came
133
00:12:08,440 –> 00:12:12,480
from a time which was absolutely
leaderless, rudderless.
134
00:12:12,760 –> 00:12:15,560
The context of the nation at the
time of Deborah and Beret was a
135
00:12:15,560 –> 00:12:17,480
time when there was nothing
there.
136
00:12:17,480 –> 00:12:22,800
Leadership had ceased until
Deborah stood up and then we saw
137
00:12:22,800 –> 00:12:26,000
that the blessing that they sing
was the blessing of those that
138
00:12:26,000 –> 00:12:28,880
had willingly offered their
lives and jeopardised their
139
00:12:28,880 –> 00:12:31,000
lives.
This wasn’t, they didn’t, this
140
00:12:31,000 –> 00:12:35,000
didn’t contribute to the truth.
They gave their lives to save
141
00:12:35,000 –> 00:12:38,560
their brethren.
And in contrast to that, we saw
142
00:12:38,960 –> 00:12:43,360
the cursing of the slackers who
didn’t, the tribes, the northern
143
00:12:43,560 –> 00:12:47,400
and the eastern tribes who
refused to come across to help
144
00:12:47,440 –> 00:12:52,000
their brethren.
And then they blessed jail for
145
00:12:52,000 –> 00:12:55,920
the heroic actions.
And then the depiction, as we
146
00:12:55,920 –> 00:12:58,200
had read for us as an
introduction tonight, as of
147
00:12:58,480 –> 00:13:01,200
Sisera’s mother and her
impending doom.
148
00:13:01,800 –> 00:13:04,920
And then finally, Deborah and
Barack sing a plea for God’s
149
00:13:04,920 –> 00:13:08,680
ongoing support so that the
nation would take back all the
150
00:13:08,680 –> 00:13:12,400
territories that so let all
thine enemies perishow Yahweh.
151
00:13:12,400 –> 00:13:15,120
And then that love thee is the
sun going for them.
152
00:13:15,120 –> 00:13:17,840
It’s might.
And tonight, brothers and
153
00:13:17,840 –> 00:13:22,000
sisters, we want to have a look.
That’s Cesar’s mum.
154
00:13:23,080 –> 00:13:27,960
What is with Cesar’s mum at the
end of this song?
155
00:13:27,960 –> 00:13:31,360
It’s almost like it’s randomly
selected and added into the end
156
00:13:31,360 –> 00:13:35,240
of the story that we’ve got this
picture of this, this mother
157
00:13:35,960 –> 00:13:39,520
looking out the window.
Well, it’s not random, certainly
158
00:13:39,520 –> 00:13:41,320
isn’t random, and it’s
marvellous.
159
00:13:41,320 –> 00:13:43,280
Brothers and sisters and young
people, have a look at this.
160
00:13:43,280 –> 00:13:48,680
So the context has been focusing
on the remarkable bravery of
161
00:13:48,680 –> 00:13:51,680
leaders in Israel that
jeopardized their life.
162
00:13:51,680 –> 00:13:55,480
The remnant of Ephraim and all
of Benjamin and all the Bible
163
00:13:55,480 –> 00:13:58,920
students, those that hold the
pen, put down their pen and pick
164
00:13:58,920 –> 00:14:02,640
up the sword with Manasseh and
the the law givers from Zebulun.
165
00:14:02,840 –> 00:14:08,280
And they join forces as Bible
students to chase sister and his
166
00:14:08,280 –> 00:14:11,160
army out the door.
And Bayrak’s own tribe of
167
00:14:11,160 –> 00:14:14,040
Naphtali and Deborah, bringing
the rest of them with them,
168
00:14:14,040 –> 00:14:16,440
joined in the battle to overcome
their enemies.
169
00:14:17,520 –> 00:14:21,160
And yet there were those who
didn’t jeopardize their lives,
170
00:14:21,160 –> 00:14:25,560
those that didn’t, those that
remained in the aisles, those
171
00:14:25,560 –> 00:14:28,000
that stayed in their ships,
those that couldn’t be bothered.
172
00:14:28,000 –> 00:14:31,160
And we looked at all the excuses
that we give, don’t we both and
173
00:14:31,160 –> 00:14:34,200
sisters to why we can’t do
things when we’re asked.
174
00:14:34,560 –> 00:14:38,320
And I captured in the story of
these tribes who didn’t respond.
175
00:14:40,000 –> 00:14:42,440
And Deborah and Bayrack turned
to the attention of the bravery
176
00:14:42,440 –> 00:14:44,760
of the key heroine of the story,
jail.
177
00:14:45,000 –> 00:14:49,520
The bloodshed, the boldness, the
beautiful brutal attack that she
178
00:14:49,640 –> 00:14:53,320
annihilates and decapitates
Sister that he might never hurt
179
00:14:53,320 –> 00:14:56,240
or destroy or oppress amongst
them ever again.
180
00:14:56,240 –> 00:14:59,200
And with the workman’s hammer
and the nail of the tent, the
181
00:14:59,200 –> 00:15:03,800
two symbols of her frustration,
the workman’s hammer, the reason
182
00:15:03,800 –> 00:15:07,120
they had relocated for
employment and the tent peg
183
00:15:07,120 –> 00:15:09,280
representing her nomadic
existence.
184
00:15:09,280 –> 00:15:13,080
She blots Sisera out with
Zealand frenzy and a complete
185
00:15:13,080 –> 00:15:16,800
destruction of that mind as she
smites him through the temple.
186
00:15:16,800 –> 00:15:21,560
So now the song changes scene
and it moves from the gruesome
187
00:15:21,720 –> 00:15:26,680
murder seat of Jails tent to the
royal castle of Sisera’s mother.
188
00:15:27,680 –> 00:15:32,080
And the question we have to ask
ourself is why change of scene?
189
00:15:32,080 –> 00:15:37,880
What’s going on in the story?
Well, you remember that the
190
00:15:37,880 –> 00:15:43,000
battle of Judges 4 actually had
two parts and that reflected in
191
00:15:43,000 –> 00:15:46,720
this song you see the two parts,
the overthrow of Israel’s
192
00:15:46,760 –> 00:15:49,560
enemies.
We often read the story of the
193
00:15:49,560 –> 00:15:54,480
destruction of Sisera as the
Battle of Judges 4, but the last
194
00:15:54,680 –> 00:15:59,520
few verses of Judges chapter 4
actually outline the second part
195
00:15:59,520 –> 00:16:03,320
of the battle.
You see Part 1 was the battle
196
00:16:03,320 –> 00:16:07,440
against Sisera and his ultimate
destruction and demise at the
197
00:16:07,440 –> 00:16:12,080
hand of Jail of Judges chapter 4
verses 11 to 22 and that’s
198
00:16:12,080 –> 00:16:15,800
what’s reflected in the song and
Judges chapter 5 and verses 19
199
00:16:15,800 –> 00:16:20,160
to 27.
But Part 2 of the battle was
200
00:16:20,160 –> 00:16:23,760
going to be the battle of the
children of Israel as God
201
00:16:23,760 –> 00:16:27,680
subdues verse 23 of Judges.
For on that day Jabin king of
202
00:16:27,680 –> 00:16:30,880
Canaan before the children of
Israel in the hand of the
203
00:16:30,880 –> 00:16:34,760
children is was going to prosper
and prevail against Jabin the
204
00:16:34,760 –> 00:16:39,800
king of Canaan until they had
destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
205
00:16:39,800 –> 00:16:43,600
You see, what we realised by
this is that Sisera and his
206
00:16:43,720 –> 00:16:48,720
battle was purely just the
entrees to the main ’cause you
207
00:16:48,720 –> 00:16:52,360
see, the battle against Chabon
and the restoration of all the
208
00:16:52,360 –> 00:16:56,480
cities and the villages that he
had come that he had stolen was
209
00:16:56,480 –> 00:17:02,160
going to be captured by Deborah
in the song of the story of
210
00:17:02,160 –> 00:17:06,480
Cicero’s mother.
Judges chapter 5, verses 28 to
211
00:17:06,480 –> 00:17:09,720
31.
Ultimately the battle with
212
00:17:09,720 –> 00:17:12,839
sister was just a catalyst.
The 10,000 men that would come,
213
00:17:13,119 –> 00:17:17,119
the rest of the nation would
respond and galvanized as a
214
00:17:17,119 –> 00:17:20,200
nation, they would now
completely eradicate and the
215
00:17:20,200 –> 00:17:24,480
oppressive regime of Jabin, king
of Canaan, with the support of
216
00:17:24,480 –> 00:17:30,040
Yahweh, Yahweh of armies.
And what Deborah describes in
217
00:17:30,040 –> 00:17:31,960
the last part of his song,
Brothers and Sisters and Young
218
00:17:31,960 –> 00:17:37,880
People, is the events that would
precede the destruction of all
219
00:17:37,880 –> 00:17:43,120
those aligned to Jabin and his
militant empire.
220
00:17:45,120 –> 00:17:50,040
And so Deborah now wants to
focus on the mother of Sisera.
221
00:17:52,560 –> 00:17:56,680
And though we provided this
beautiful insight into the mind
222
00:17:56,680 –> 00:17:59,920
of a mother who raised this
particular person, we get an
223
00:17:59,920 –> 00:18:05,440
insight by the sisters into her
character, the type of person
224
00:18:05,440 –> 00:18:09,600
that she was, the type of
narcissist she was.
225
00:18:10,640 –> 00:18:15,840
You see, this woman produced the
iron fisted Cicera.
226
00:18:17,280 –> 00:18:21,400
What was his home life like and
what was she like?
227
00:18:23,680 –> 00:18:27,080
And don’t the way she’s
introduced Judges chapter 5,
228
00:18:28,040 –> 00:18:33,360
verse 28, She’s the mother of
Cicera that looked out a window.
229
00:18:33,360 –> 00:18:35,160
She’s called the mother of
Cicera.
230
00:18:35,160 –> 00:18:37,680
And by the way, this is
remarkable, isn’t it?
231
00:18:38,160 –> 00:18:40,040
A mother?
She’s already mentioned another
232
00:18:40,040 –> 00:18:43,280
mother in this chapter already
she’s called herself the mother
233
00:18:43,280 –> 00:18:45,160
of Israel.
And now we’re introduced to the
234
00:18:45,440 –> 00:18:49,760
mother of Cicera.
And you couldn’t get a more
235
00:18:49,760 –> 00:18:57,880
stark contrast between these two
mothers, brothers and sisters in
236
00:18:57,880 –> 00:19:01,200
the story.
We have the Mother of Israel,
237
00:19:01,200 –> 00:19:05,480
verse 7, the prophetess who gave
a servant, who willingly offered
238
00:19:05,480 –> 00:19:09,720
herself a woman hit the top of
Mount Table, who was in the
239
00:19:09,720 –> 00:19:15,600
heart of the battle, surrounded
by her warriors, who cared for
240
00:19:15,600 –> 00:19:19,560
her people and their salvation,
and who would sing praises of
241
00:19:19,840 –> 00:19:28,120
Yahweh’s victory compared to the
woman, The mother of Sisera, a
242
00:19:28,120 –> 00:19:32,960
queen who waited to receive and
took whatever she could.
243
00:19:33,640 –> 00:19:37,840
A royal, as we’ll see, who
expected to be waited on a woman
244
00:19:37,840 –> 00:19:41,320
in her upper chamber who was as
far away from the battle as she
245
00:19:41,320 –> 00:19:44,960
possibly could be, surrounded
not by her worries but by her
246
00:19:44,960 –> 00:19:48,960
princesses that she totally
ignores, who cares only for
247
00:19:48,960 –> 00:19:54,160
slaves and for spoils of war,
and who’s whinging to her
248
00:19:54,160 –> 00:19:56,840
companions about the delay of
the arrival’s stolen
249
00:19:56,840 –> 00:20:00,440
merchandise.
Our brothers and sisters, these
250
00:20:00,440 –> 00:20:02,000
two mothers couldn’t be
different.
251
00:20:03,720 –> 00:20:06,160
You couldn’t get a stark a
contrast between these two
252
00:20:06,160 –> 00:20:09,480
mothers if you if you tried and
their outlook on their life.
253
00:20:09,480 –> 00:20:13,640
And they stand representative of
the seed of the woman and the
254
00:20:13,640 –> 00:20:19,720
seed of the serpent who each who
had given birth 1 to A to a
255
00:20:19,880 –> 00:20:25,760
nation that was galvanized to
save another who was trying to
256
00:20:25,760 –> 00:20:33,240
oppress and to destroy.
And one mother is interested in
257
00:20:33,240 –> 00:20:37,920
her service to others, whilst
the other is totally focused on
258
00:20:37,920 –> 00:20:43,440
herself and the ill gotten gains
her brothers and sisters hidden
259
00:20:43,440 –> 00:20:46,640
in this story is so much more
than that.
260
00:20:48,720 –> 00:20:51,720
So we introduced her sisters
mother who’s been anxiously
261
00:20:51,720 –> 00:20:55,960
awaiting the arrival of her son
from the battlefield.
262
00:20:57,000 –> 00:21:01,400
And of course, while she’s
starting to get anxious, look
263
00:21:01,400 –> 00:21:04,200
what it says in verse 28.
The mother of sister is looking
264
00:21:04,200 –> 00:21:08,320
at the window and she’s crying
through the lattice work.
265
00:21:08,320 –> 00:21:10,720
Why is this chariot so long and
coming?
266
00:21:10,880 –> 00:21:13,400
Why tarry the wheels of his
Chariots?
267
00:21:14,880 –> 00:21:17,200
And she’s looking out this
window and she’s crying.
268
00:21:17,560 –> 00:21:20,840
It means to, to to bawl, to cry
shrilly, shrilly.
269
00:21:20,840 –> 00:21:23,840
She’s like anxious.
She’s full of anxiety.
270
00:21:24,040 –> 00:21:26,240
What is she anxious about, those
sisters?
271
00:21:26,240 –> 00:21:28,240
Well, tell me what she’s not
anxious about.
272
00:21:29,200 –> 00:21:31,840
She’s not anxious about whether
Sister had lost the battle.
273
00:21:32,400 –> 00:21:34,640
Not at all.
They didn’t even cross her mind.
274
00:21:35,200 –> 00:21:40,080
As if Sister had lose a battle,
This is my son wasn’t even an
275
00:21:40,080 –> 00:21:41,680
option.
They haven’t even crossed her
276
00:21:41,680 –> 00:21:44,280
mind.
Israel was totally outnumbered,
277
00:21:44,320 –> 00:21:46,320
out manoeuvred and totally
outgunned.
278
00:21:46,920 –> 00:21:50,800
They’d brought toothpicks to.
They had brought a knife to a
279
00:21:50,800 –> 00:21:52,600
gunfight, toothpicks to a tank
battle.
280
00:21:52,760 –> 00:21:55,520
They had nothing.
So Sister was going to wipe them
281
00:21:55,520 –> 00:21:56,440
out.
Simple.
282
00:21:57,520 –> 00:21:59,160
What she’s anxious about,
brothers and sisters, is what
283
00:21:59,160 –> 00:22:02,320
the Bible tells us this is.
Look, she’s anxious about why
284
00:22:02,680 –> 00:22:06,080
the spoils of war.
I want to get my hands on these
285
00:22:06,080 –> 00:22:08,400
things.
She’s getting anxious about
286
00:22:08,760 –> 00:22:10,800
seeing the evidence of the
spoils.
287
00:22:11,320 –> 00:22:13,440
Surely that they must have made
a plunder by now.
288
00:22:13,480 –> 00:22:14,680
Must have secured.
Hurry up.
289
00:22:14,680 –> 00:22:16,080
Where is it?
And the we.
290
00:22:16,080 –> 00:22:18,280
I want the woman for the slaves
and the men and the fine
291
00:22:18,280 –> 00:22:21,800
garments for Sisera.
It’s almost like Sisera had gone
292
00:22:21,800 –> 00:22:24,120
to the shops.
Brothers and sisters, hurry up.
293
00:22:24,120 –> 00:22:29,480
I want to see what he’s got.
She’s looking out a window.
294
00:22:29,680 –> 00:22:31,840
And sisters.
Oh, you don’t miss that phrase
295
00:22:32,080 –> 00:22:37,640
in the Bible, do you?
Because this woman joins the
296
00:22:37,640 –> 00:22:40,880
lineage of a special breed of
women.
297
00:22:40,880 –> 00:22:42,640
Hopefully you don’t look at
windows, ladies.
298
00:22:45,280 –> 00:22:48,800
A special breed of women who
gaze arrogantly out of windows.
299
00:22:48,800 –> 00:22:52,440
You see here in the story we
have sister’s mum and Judges
300
00:22:52,440 –> 00:22:57,240
chapter 5 and verse 2828 who’s
greedily awaiting the spoils of
301
00:22:57,240 –> 00:23:00,440
war.
Michael Saul’s daughter in
302
00:23:00,440 –> 00:23:04,240
Second Samuel chapter 6 verse 16
is going to cruelly despise the
303
00:23:04,320 –> 00:23:06,880
actions of her husband and her
king.
304
00:23:09,120 –> 00:23:11,600
And Jezebel brothers and sisters
in Second Kings Chapter 9 verse
305
00:23:11,600 –> 00:23:16,120
30 is callously going to seek to
distract you from his murderous
306
00:23:16,120 –> 00:23:20,800
task.
You see these women become known
307
00:23:20,800 –> 00:23:26,360
as those who look out at the
window, pride and arrogance and
308
00:23:26,360 –> 00:23:31,280
cruelty as accurately portrayed
Bill and sisters by the sin that
309
00:23:31,280 –> 00:23:37,480
they represented.
And so she’s surrounded by whom?
310
00:23:38,640 –> 00:23:43,800
Well, verse 29 says that her
wise ladies answered her.
311
00:23:43,800 –> 00:23:46,360
Yeah.
She returned answer to herself.
312
00:23:46,360 –> 00:23:50,640
Who?
Her wise ladies, you know, we
313
00:23:50,640 –> 00:23:52,760
can come back to some of these
slides if you if you want the
314
00:23:52,760 –> 00:23:55,760
passages.
However, we’ll keep moving for
315
00:23:55,800 –> 00:23:59,520
for need for time.
That word for wise ladies,
316
00:23:59,520 –> 00:24:02,000
brothers and sisters and young
people was a special word that’s
317
00:24:02,000 –> 00:24:07,320
only used four other times
throughout Scripture And the
318
00:24:07,320 –> 00:24:12,040
times that it’s used is used for
the idea of a Princess or a
319
00:24:12,040 –> 00:24:15,040
noble woman.
Now here’s your 4 quotes.
320
00:24:15,240 –> 00:24:20,080
First of Kings 11 verse three,
it’s used of Solomon’s wives and
321
00:24:20,080 –> 00:24:22,800
Easter chapter 1 and verse 18
it’s used for the ladies of
322
00:24:22,800 –> 00:24:26,520
Persia or the wives of all the
Princess of Persia and Easter
323
00:24:26,520 –> 00:24:33,160
one verse 18 students in Isaiah
49, verse 23 of Queens and of
324
00:24:33,280 –> 00:24:36,200
Lamentations chapter 1 and verse
one of the princesses.
325
00:24:37,960 –> 00:24:39,880
And the point I wanted to make,
brothers, sisters and young
326
00:24:39,880 –> 00:24:45,160
people, was this, that the
ladies weren’t just maids, they
327
00:24:45,160 –> 00:24:52,840
were her royal companions.
Now that’s fascinating because
328
00:24:52,840 –> 00:24:57,600
if they were her royal
companions, what does that make
329
00:24:57,600 –> 00:25:03,000
Sasura’s mother?
See, Sisura’s mother was
330
00:25:03,280 –> 00:25:08,280
obviously part of the royalty,
part of the royal family,
331
00:25:09,560 –> 00:25:12,880
possibly married to Javan, king
of Canaan, maybe even the queen.
332
00:25:12,880 –> 00:25:14,360
We don’t know.
We’re not told.
333
00:25:15,000 –> 00:25:17,480
But she was definitely part of
the royalty.
334
00:25:20,080 –> 00:25:23,080
She’s definitely royalty.
And she’s a lady of importance
335
00:25:23,080 –> 00:25:27,840
in the Empire surrounded by her
royal princesses and who are
336
00:25:27,840 –> 00:25:33,600
classified as her wise ladies.
And she’s sitting there at home
337
00:25:33,960 –> 00:25:38,520
out the window with her maidens
waiting for the anxious arrival
338
00:25:38,520 –> 00:25:41,160
of her son.
And she’s she’s sort of asking
339
00:25:41,160 –> 00:25:43,880
their counsel, but totally
ignoring them.
340
00:25:44,600 –> 00:25:47,320
You read that in the story.
Look what it says verse 21.
341
00:25:48,480 –> 00:25:51,360
She asked the question, why is
this Terry’s why is this chariot
342
00:25:51,360 –> 00:25:53,720
in so long in coming?
Why carry the wheels of this
343
00:25:53,720 –> 00:25:56,200
chariot in as why does ladies
return answer?
344
00:25:56,200 –> 00:25:57,840
Yeah, she returned answer to
herself.
345
00:25:58,120 –> 00:26:02,040
She’s totally ignoring them.
They speak and she cuts over
346
00:26:02,040 –> 00:26:02,280
them.
Duh.
347
00:26:03,000 –> 00:26:05,960
Why is this chariot coming?
They begin to answer and she
348
00:26:05,960 –> 00:26:08,840
rudely and arrogantly cuts them
off answering her own questions
349
00:26:09,240 –> 00:26:13,200
herself.
And look what she sees in verse
350
00:26:13,200 –> 00:26:18,840
30.
Have they not speed?
351
00:26:19,640 –> 00:26:23,560
Have they not divided the prey
to every man, a damsel or two to
352
00:26:23,560 –> 00:26:26,520
sister, a prey of divers
colours, a prey of divers
353
00:26:26,520 –> 00:26:29,920
colours of need to work, need to
work on both sides meet for the
354
00:26:29,920 –> 00:26:32,280
next of them that take the
spoil.
355
00:26:32,960 –> 00:26:34,920
Have they not speed?
And have they not divided the
356
00:26:34,920 –> 00:26:37,280
prey?
See, she’s she’s not interested
357
00:26:37,280 –> 00:26:40,400
in the death or the number of
deaths or the casualties.
358
00:26:41,600 –> 00:26:46,960
She’s only interested in two
things, only two things she
359
00:26:46,960 –> 00:26:50,640
wants to know about.
The first is how many new
360
00:26:50,640 –> 00:26:56,040
damsels have they taken as prey?
And it better be a good number.
361
00:26:57,560 –> 00:27:04,360
And what sort of garments has
Cicera got for me for the spoil?
362
00:27:08,520 –> 00:27:12,840
So the word damsels, brothers
and sisters, means it’s a term
363
00:27:12,840 –> 00:27:16,560
of contempt.
A wench just means a womb.
364
00:27:16,880 –> 00:27:20,080
How many more wombs did they get
for us to be able to have more
365
00:27:20,080 –> 00:27:23,640
babies as slaves?
That’s what she’s saying in the
366
00:27:23,640 –> 00:27:26,280
story.
How can we get the increase of
367
00:27:26,280 –> 00:27:27,880
the slaves that we need in this
empire?
368
00:27:28,200 –> 00:27:30,800
Hope they’ve got some more wombs
for us so that we can breed more
369
00:27:30,840 –> 00:27:36,600
slaves.
But the garments, the slaves
370
00:27:36,600 –> 00:27:38,960
were sort of there or
thereabouts, but the garments,
371
00:27:38,960 –> 00:27:39,960
the garments were something
else.
372
00:27:39,960 –> 00:27:44,320
And her mind begins to turn on
these garments, like she begins
373
00:27:44,320 –> 00:27:47,240
to be obsessed about them.
And she’s like almost feeling
374
00:27:47,240 –> 00:27:51,360
the fabric and touching the the
silk and feeling these special
375
00:27:51,360 –> 00:27:52,760
things.
You read it in the record.
376
00:27:52,760 –> 00:27:55,280
Look at her, she says.
So every man, have they not
377
00:27:55,280 –> 00:27:58,360
speed, have they not divided?
The prey to every man, a damsel
378
00:27:58,360 –> 00:28:01,880
or two to Sisera, a prey of
divers colours, a prey of divers
379
00:28:01,880 –> 00:28:04,320
colours of need to work or
divides colours of need to work
380
00:28:04,320 –> 00:28:07,080
on both sides.
She begins to feel the fabric.
381
00:28:08,120 –> 00:28:13,280
This can be amazing.
You see, these diverse colours
382
00:28:13,280 –> 00:28:16,600
of needlework were embroidery.
That’s really what it means.
383
00:28:19,160 –> 00:28:24,120
There are exotic garments made
of expensive imported fabrics
384
00:28:24,120 –> 00:28:27,640
and cottons, most likely from
Egypt and afar.
385
00:28:28,000 –> 00:28:31,440
These were the garments of the
princesses, of the Queens, and
386
00:28:31,440 –> 00:28:35,880
of royalty.
Psalm 45, verse 14, Ezekiel 26.
387
00:28:35,880 –> 00:28:38,920
These were the these were the
garments of nobles or Princess.
388
00:28:38,920 –> 00:28:44,600
They were female garments,
brother sisters, they’re female
389
00:28:44,600 –> 00:28:50,400
garments.
You see, the Hebrews excelled in
390
00:28:50,400 –> 00:28:54,120
the art of dying, as was seen by
the way, not dying as in dying,
391
00:28:54,120 –> 00:28:58,360
but dying as in clothes dying.
And and they were they were
392
00:28:58,360 –> 00:29:01,240
exceeded in that in making of
garments and the dying of
393
00:29:01,240 –> 00:29:03,640
garments, especially in the
round the Tabernacle and the
394
00:29:03,640 –> 00:29:07,320
priesty lobes, priesty robes and
the expensive coats like
395
00:29:07,320 –> 00:29:11,520
Joseph’s, the Lord Jesus
Christ’s who who were not to be
396
00:29:11,520 –> 00:29:15,240
cut.
Delilah was probably one of the
397
00:29:15,240 –> 00:29:18,760
ones that would make these
garments with the loom that she
398
00:29:18,760 –> 00:29:24,320
had no room now were highly
prized possessions and treasured
399
00:29:24,320 –> 00:29:26,400
for life.
These were the garments that
400
00:29:26,400 –> 00:29:28,840
Samson went and got from
Ashkelon.
401
00:29:29,200 –> 00:29:33,720
The walls usually came from
Egyptians in excavations,
402
00:29:33,720 –> 00:29:35,760
brother sisters have revealed
the wool dying.
403
00:29:35,760 –> 00:29:38,360
Art was a leading industry in
central Israel.
404
00:29:38,360 –> 00:29:41,760
They were top top garments.
But who were the garments for?
405
00:29:43,400 –> 00:29:44,960
You know, it’s better
translated.
406
00:29:46,360 –> 00:29:50,840
Spoils of divers, coloured
raiment for Sisera.
407
00:29:51,680 –> 00:29:56,680
Spoils of divers coloured
raiment, embroidered, coloured
408
00:29:56,680 –> 00:30:03,320
raiment richly embroidered from
the necks of them who are taken
409
00:30:03,320 –> 00:30:06,560
as spoil.
They were going to be garments
410
00:30:06,560 –> 00:30:10,880
taken from the next of them who
had taken a spoil.
411
00:30:11,240 –> 00:30:13,720
Who was the spoil?
Brothers, Sisters.
412
00:30:14,240 –> 00:30:16,680
Well, they were the damsels that
they were going to be bringing.
413
00:30:16,680 –> 00:30:19,520
You see what damsels?
How is that working?
414
00:30:19,560 –> 00:30:22,320
Well, you think about brothers,
Sisters, if Cicero was trying to
415
00:30:22,320 –> 00:30:28,960
destroy 10,000 men, what did
Cicero’s mother expect would
416
00:30:28,960 –> 00:30:31,560
happen next?
Well, you see, they wouldn’t
417
00:30:31,560 –> 00:30:34,080
just stop at the destruction of
10,000 men.
418
00:30:34,240 –> 00:30:36,120
They were going to get in their
Chariots and they were going to
419
00:30:36,120 –> 00:30:40,040
circle all the villages and
collect up all of these slaves
420
00:30:40,160 –> 00:30:44,040
and bring them all home to Hazel
and take every bit of garment
421
00:30:44,040 –> 00:30:49,400
that they could for themselves.
These are female garments and
422
00:30:49,400 –> 00:30:51,960
she couldn’t wait to get her
hands on them.
423
00:30:52,400 –> 00:30:55,240
These garments would be for her.
This is what I’ve been looking
424
00:30:55,240 –> 00:30:57,840
forward to the latest shopping
trip.
425
00:31:00,840 –> 00:31:03,560
It’s better than Country Rd.
better than anything Mars can
426
00:31:03,560 –> 00:31:06,840
produce.
But notice the keywords brothers
427
00:31:06,840 –> 00:31:08,560
and sisters that are mentioned
here.
428
00:31:09,240 –> 00:31:14,800
Sister’s mother wanted to see
the prisoners captured to take
429
00:31:14,800 –> 00:31:17,640
what brothers and sisters to
take.
430
00:31:19,160 –> 00:31:21,160
Oh, now these words are going to
bounce off the page.
431
00:31:22,240 –> 00:31:30,160
A spoil and a prey.
Now does that provide us
432
00:31:30,160 –> 00:31:32,800
brothers and sisters with any
echoes?
433
00:31:33,320 –> 00:31:39,080
A spoil and a prey.
The song focuses on the two
434
00:31:39,240 –> 00:31:45,160
phases of the battle against
Sisera and the destruction of
435
00:31:45,160 –> 00:31:49,360
Sisera’s mother.
Because riding up that valley
436
00:31:49,720 –> 00:31:52,680
was not going to be Sisera on
his chariot or no.
437
00:31:53,320 –> 00:31:57,800
These were going to be Yahweh
Saints manifested in a unity in
438
00:31:57,800 –> 00:32:01,840
a unit glorifying him to take
possession of that castle.
439
00:32:05,240 –> 00:32:09,120
The destruction of Sisera’s
mother is prophetically going to
440
00:32:09,120 –> 00:32:13,800
be displayed in a type we see so
many times in history.
441
00:32:14,560 –> 00:32:21,360
The overthrow of Sisera was
going to be the destruction of
442
00:32:21,360 –> 00:32:29,120
Gog and the destruction of the
mother of harlots and her
443
00:32:29,120 –> 00:32:32,560
daughters.
It’s going to be manifested in
444
00:32:32,560 –> 00:32:34,280
the subjugation of Catholic
Europe.
445
00:32:36,720 –> 00:32:39,760
These events are set before us.
The two phases of the
446
00:32:39,760 –> 00:32:44,120
destruction of this battle,
Cicera and all of Jabin, king of
447
00:32:44,120 –> 00:32:47,400
Canaan and his territories with
this woman and her daughters is
448
00:32:47,400 –> 00:32:52,040
going to be prophetic.
Non sisters of the time of the
449
00:32:52,120 –> 00:32:53,960
end.
And Deborah, brothers and
450
00:32:53,960 –> 00:32:58,880
sisters, sees in type this whole
pattern being outworked.
451
00:32:59,800 –> 00:33:04,760
And the events are set before us
in such absolute detail and
452
00:33:04,760 –> 00:33:10,320
precision precision in the story
that it perfectly depicts the
453
00:33:10,320 –> 00:33:12,000
events subsequent to Christ’s
return.
454
00:33:12,000 –> 00:33:18,760
Have a look at this.
So Sisera is going to not have
455
00:33:18,760 –> 00:33:22,280
just his own men.
That Scissor is going to have a
456
00:33:22,280 –> 00:33:27,200
Confederate army.
We know that because he had
457
00:33:27,200 –> 00:33:33,680
Harisheth of the Gentiles, a
city of everyone that were mixed
458
00:33:33,720 –> 00:33:37,160
in metal workers in that place.
Remember we looked at Harisheth
459
00:33:37,160 –> 00:33:40,120
of the Gentiles.
Ezekiel 38 versus 4 to six.
460
00:33:40,120 –> 00:33:44,840
It’s going to be a Confederate
army that makes up Gogh’s army
461
00:33:44,960 –> 00:33:47,160
at the time of the end Scissor’s
army.
462
00:33:47,160 –> 00:33:49,400
Notice what it says.
It’s going to be full of swords,
463
00:33:49,920 –> 00:33:53,320
of Shields, of Chariots and
horsemen.
464
00:33:54,040 –> 00:33:56,880
Judges 5 verse Judges 415 and
five verse eight.
465
00:33:57,800 –> 00:34:01,360
Well, we know that is going to
be exactly what Gog’s going to
466
00:34:01,360 –> 00:34:04,320
have at the time of the year in
Ezekiel 38 verse 4.
467
00:34:05,040 –> 00:34:10,400
Yahweh, it says, would fight
against Sisera and had gone out
468
00:34:10,400 –> 00:34:15,800
before him exactly as God would
do in Ezekiel 38 verse 18.
469
00:34:16,600 –> 00:34:20,159
And God had promised to Bay
reckon in Judges chapter 4,
470
00:34:20,800 –> 00:34:25,760
verse six and seven, that He
would draw Sisera unto him.
471
00:34:27,480 –> 00:34:29,960
That’s exactly what God says to
go.
472
00:34:30,639 –> 00:34:33,600
I’m going to put hooks in your
jaws and you’re going to come
473
00:34:33,600 –> 00:34:40,199
with me.
Ezekiel 38 verse 4 Sisra’s
474
00:34:40,199 –> 00:34:43,520
motivation of that battle wasn’t
just to destroy the 10,000 men,
475
00:34:43,800 –> 00:34:46,239
but as revealed by Sisra’s
mother that he’d come to take a
476
00:34:46,239 –> 00:34:49,560
spoil and to pray.
The two words that’s used of
477
00:34:49,560 –> 00:34:53,960
Gogan chapter 38 verse 12 of
Ezekiel and Sisra’s army
478
00:34:53,960 –> 00:34:59,520
gathered as a great company.
Ezekiel 38, verse 4, verse 7,
479
00:34:59,520 –> 00:35:03,920
verse 13, verse 15, the key
expression used of Gogan his
480
00:35:03,920 –> 00:35:07,040
army.
And God’s jealousy and God’s
481
00:35:07,040 –> 00:35:10,000
fury would come up his face, and
that there would be a great
482
00:35:10,000 –> 00:35:13,440
shaking in the land, and there
would be rain and hail and fire
483
00:35:13,440 –> 00:35:19,760
and brimstone, just as he would.
And Ezekiel 38, verses 18 to 20,
484
00:35:20,880 –> 00:35:25,160
And a sword would go out against
Sisera, just as it were with
485
00:35:25,160 –> 00:35:27,040
Gog.
Sisera’s destruction was going
486
00:35:27,040 –> 00:35:29,320
to be prophesied by the
prophets, just as it would be
487
00:35:29,320 –> 00:35:32,480
with Gog.
The enemies would flee, and Yao
488
00:35:32,480 –> 00:35:37,600
and his Saints would come, and
not a man will be left, says
489
00:35:37,600 –> 00:35:40,880
Ezekiel 38.
This four, just as it was with
490
00:35:40,880 –> 00:35:43,240
Cicero.
And here brothers and scissors.
491
00:35:43,240 –> 00:35:46,320
In the story Sister is clearly
set out as a type of Gog
492
00:35:46,320 –> 00:35:49,440
himself, leading forth his
confederate host.
493
00:35:49,720 –> 00:35:52,520
And his ultimate destruction was
going to be foreshadowed in the
494
00:35:52,520 –> 00:35:55,400
work of Christ and the Saints,
and the March of the rainbowed
495
00:35:55,400 –> 00:35:59,120
Angel, and the arrival of the
man of Bowser of Isaiah 63, as
496
00:35:59,120 –> 00:36:04,000
the ones who shine forth from
Mount Sier and March from Sinai
497
00:36:04,000 –> 00:36:06,760
unto the sanctuary.
The words we know well, the work
498
00:36:06,760 –> 00:36:09,160
of Christ and the redeemed and
the glorified Saints who are
499
00:36:09,160 –> 00:36:13,680
going to come to destroy the the
oppressor of God’s people who
500
00:36:13,680 –> 00:36:20,880
had taken their land.
It’s remarkable isn’t it, about
501
00:36:20,880 –> 00:36:23,680
the sisters?
As the battle and the
502
00:36:23,680 –> 00:36:27,400
destruction of Sisera was the
intro entree to the main affair,
503
00:36:28,480 –> 00:36:31,440
the overthrow of Jabin and the
taking back of the stolen
504
00:36:31,440 –> 00:36:38,440
cities, so too is Armageddon to
the battle against Jezebel, the
505
00:36:38,440 –> 00:36:43,320
mother of harlots, the conquest
of Catholic Europe.
506
00:36:44,560 –> 00:36:46,680
And you can’t miss the skin, you
brothers and sisters.
507
00:36:47,280 –> 00:36:50,680
Daniel’s image has 2 phases, 2
with a stone, the smashing of
508
00:36:50,680 –> 00:36:52,960
the image on the feet and the
grinding of it to powder.
509
00:36:53,160 –> 00:36:56,680
And there is no better and more
fitting description of the
510
00:36:56,680 –> 00:37:00,960
harlot system of Catholic Europe
than the depiction of Jezebel
511
00:37:01,120 –> 00:37:06,720
surrounded by her daughters,
which have made themselves drunk
512
00:37:07,640 –> 00:37:13,600
with the blood of the Saints.
Then what is depicted here in
513
00:37:13,600 –> 00:37:17,320
the story of Sister’s mother
surrounded by her wise ladies,
514
00:37:17,640 –> 00:37:20,800
dreaming of the spoils of war
and the merchandise to come?
515
00:37:22,120 –> 00:37:25,480
And as the destruction of Sister
is just a catalyst to bring the
516
00:37:25,480 –> 00:37:31,080
nation together as they seek to
restore the territories of that
517
00:37:31,080 –> 00:37:35,520
they’d lost to Jabin, King of
Canaan, King Sin, lorded over by
518
00:37:35,520 –> 00:37:38,200
Citra’s mother, we see depicted
in Jezebel the Second.
519
00:37:38,280 –> 00:37:40,800
The mother of harlots, the
abomination of the earth, the
520
00:37:40,800 –> 00:37:43,760
great whore to whom the kings of
the earth have committed
521
00:37:43,760 –> 00:37:47,160
fornication.
And look at the picture painted
522
00:37:47,160 –> 00:37:50,200
for us in Revelation 17 and 18.
It’s matched.
523
00:37:50,200 –> 00:37:53,440
You see, here we have a great
whore.
524
00:37:53,880 –> 00:37:55,960
Do you know what she’s arrayed
in brothers and sisters?
525
00:37:55,960 –> 00:37:59,400
She’s arrayed in garments of
diverse colours.
526
00:38:00,480 –> 00:38:04,280
Funny that, isn’t it?
She sits as a queen.
527
00:38:06,000 –> 00:38:10,800
She rules over many peoples,
nations, and multitudes.
528
00:38:11,680 –> 00:38:15,560
Who’s been working?
Why with the merchants of the
529
00:38:15,560 –> 00:38:16,160
earth.
Who was?
530
00:38:16,400 –> 00:38:17,960
Who were the Canaanites?
Brothers and sisters?
531
00:38:17,960 –> 00:38:21,320
They were a group of traders, as
we showed in our first study of
532
00:38:21,360 –> 00:38:25,280
merchants of the Earth who
controlled the trade and waxed
533
00:38:25,280 –> 00:38:27,600
rich through the abundance of
their delicacies.
534
00:38:28,720 –> 00:38:31,440
See who was controlling trade at
the time of Deborah and Bayrack,
535
00:38:31,440 –> 00:38:34,600
Brothers, Sisters, because these
nation of Israel had to go by
536
00:38:34,600 –> 00:38:38,800
the goat tracks to walk around.
No one walked on the highway.
537
00:38:38,800 –> 00:38:41,600
This queen sat across all of
that.
538
00:38:41,640 –> 00:38:46,200
And what key things does
Revelation 18 tell us that this
539
00:38:46,360 –> 00:38:49,960
harlot system loves?
Well, they love goods,
540
00:38:51,000 –> 00:38:54,840
merchandise, and the souls of
men.
541
00:38:58,600 –> 00:39:01,280
And her destruction.
We know in Revelation 18 don’t
542
00:39:01,280 –> 00:39:05,120
have any time to look at this?
Get the do some, do some
543
00:39:05,200 –> 00:39:06,520
research and have a look at
yourself.
544
00:39:06,520 –> 00:39:09,480
It’s remarkable because her
destruction will be swift,
545
00:39:10,040 –> 00:39:13,120
totally unexpected.
In one hour she’ll reward double
546
00:39:13,120 –> 00:39:22,000
for all her sins and the Saints
will once again 1st 4th into
547
00:39:22,000 –> 00:39:26,640
song as they did in Exodus in in
Judges chapter 5 verse 2.
548
00:39:26,880 –> 00:39:31,640
Because depicted for us in
Revelation 19 is the song of the
549
00:39:31,640 –> 00:39:37,880
Yahweh’s Saints who praise and
sing because Yahweh has finally
550
00:39:38,200 –> 00:39:48,060
avenged his people.
So the destruction of sister,
551
00:39:48,060 –> 00:39:52,780
brothers and sisters is followed
by the annihilation of sisters,
552
00:39:52,780 –> 00:39:56,840
mother, who foreshadow the work
of Christ and the Saints and the
553
00:39:56,840 –> 00:39:59,640
Jews, and the work of Armageddon
and the subjugation of the
554
00:39:59,640 –> 00:40:02,920
nations that have joined
themselves to this harlot
555
00:40:02,920 –> 00:40:05,160
system.
And Europe is cleansed.
556
00:40:05,440 –> 00:40:09,040
And by this process, by the
sisters, Yahweh will redeem and
557
00:40:09,040 –> 00:40:15,000
avenge His people who have cried
out from under the altars and
558
00:40:15,000 –> 00:40:19,680
have cried throughout time to be
saved, and will cause His
559
00:40:19,680 –> 00:40:22,760
Kingdom to once more be
established.
560
00:40:23,200 –> 00:40:27,320
And those Saints to be redeemed
and a time of rest, brothers and
561
00:40:27,320 –> 00:40:32,000
sisters, will be ushered into
being, just as we have recorded
562
00:40:32,000 –> 00:40:37,280
for us in Judges chapter 5.
It’s an absolutely stunning and
563
00:40:37,280 –> 00:40:41,440
remarkable prophetic type that
Deborah sees before her in the
564
00:40:41,440 –> 00:40:45,840
panorama of history has revealed
to this particularly incredibly
565
00:40:45,840 –> 00:40:52,720
insightful propheties.
And so she finishes her song
566
00:40:53,360 –> 00:40:57,280
Brothers and sisters.
In verse 31.
567
00:40:59,560 –> 00:41:07,600
She says, So let all thine
enemies perish, O Yahweh, but
568
00:41:07,600 –> 00:41:16,640
let them that love Him be as the
Son when he goeth forth in his
569
00:41:16,640 –> 00:41:21,360
might.
Let them that love Him be as the
570
00:41:21,360 –> 00:41:26,560
sun, a brilliant, radiant sun
that goes forth in full glory.
571
00:41:28,320 –> 00:41:30,840
And here Deborah beautifully and
poetically pictures the work of
572
00:41:30,840 –> 00:41:35,720
the Saints like the sun, as it
bursts forth in full brilliance,
573
00:41:35,880 –> 00:41:39,480
the rays of which will shine
with burning fury to execute
574
00:41:39,480 –> 00:41:43,240
vengeance on all of Yahweh’s
enemies.
575
00:41:43,240 –> 00:41:47,360
You see, this prophecy wasn’t in
song, wasn’t about just Jabin,
576
00:41:47,360 –> 00:41:49,880
was it?
It was about all of God’s
577
00:41:49,880 –> 00:41:54,720
enemies that they would have the
same treatment by Yahweh as they
578
00:41:54,840 –> 00:41:58,640
go forth and note she’s picking
up the courageous and positive
579
00:41:58,640 –> 00:42:03,960
actions of the warriors who
would go forth against their
580
00:42:03,960 –> 00:42:05,480
enemies.
And here in the record, those
581
00:42:05,480 –> 00:42:09,200
that went forth on this occasion
was Bayrak and his men.
582
00:42:09,480 –> 00:42:13,440
In Judges chapter 4, verse 14
and 16, it was going to be jail
583
00:42:13,440 –> 00:42:17,200
in her actions in verse 18 and
22 of chapter 4.
584
00:42:17,280 –> 00:42:20,440
It was going to be Yahweh
Himself that would go forth in
585
00:42:20,440 –> 00:42:23,480
verse 14 and chapter 5 and verse
4, and it was going to be the
586
00:42:23,480 –> 00:42:28,080
tribes who respond in chapter 5,
verse 14 and 15.
587
00:42:28,080 –> 00:42:32,080
There were those who
volunteered, the Saints who
588
00:42:32,080 –> 00:42:36,520
volunteered and jeopardised
their lives in service to their
589
00:42:36,520 –> 00:42:41,960
brethren to do what brothers and
sisters to bring about Yahweh’s
590
00:42:41,960 –> 00:42:46,400
judgement.
And it’s a glorious and vivid
591
00:42:46,400 –> 00:42:51,400
picture of the sun bursting
forth as these wonderful
592
00:42:51,400 –> 00:42:55,680
volunteers had donated their
lives and service to their God.
593
00:42:55,680 –> 00:43:00,000
And you know what, brothers,
Sisters, if you can find me
594
00:43:00,120 –> 00:43:03,720
where else it might say about
the sun going forth in his
595
00:43:03,720 –> 00:43:08,480
might, I am all ears.
But I’ve only found one passage
596
00:43:08,480 –> 00:43:12,720
in the Scripture that refers to
the way in which the sun bursts
597
00:43:12,720 –> 00:43:16,600
forth in his might.
And you wouldn’t guess where
598
00:43:16,600 –> 00:43:22,680
that is, would you?
It’s the Revelation chapter 1,
599
00:43:24,200 –> 00:43:30,000
the vision of John, of the man
of the one, the vision John
600
00:43:30,000 –> 00:43:31,520
sees.
Just come with me to Revelation
601
00:43:31,520 –> 00:43:37,680
chapter 1.
Have a look at this Revelation
602
00:43:37,680 –> 00:43:40,720
chapter 1.
Here’s, here’s the Saints, the
603
00:43:40,720 –> 00:43:46,640
glorified Saints in Christ
executing vengeance on Yahweh’s
604
00:43:46,680 –> 00:43:49,600
enemies.
And in this vision of Revelation
605
00:43:49,600 –> 00:43:56,000
chapter 1, John is shown and
going to be revealed to the one
606
00:43:56,280 –> 00:44:01,640
who would bring to pass and
reveal the message of God’s
607
00:44:01,640 –> 00:44:07,080
judgement.
And here this revelation and
608
00:44:07,080 –> 00:44:10,000
this prophecy of the future and
the judgement is going to be
609
00:44:10,000 –> 00:44:12,760
poured out upon Yahweh’s
enemies, and it’s going to be
610
00:44:12,760 –> 00:44:18,680
given by a man who’s likened
unto the Son of Man, and he’s
611
00:44:18,680 –> 00:44:22,280
going to execute judgement and
vengeance and establish the
612
00:44:22,280 –> 00:44:25,440
Kingdom of God.
And it’s not just Christ, is it,
613
00:44:25,440 –> 00:44:30,480
brothers and sisters, but a
multitudinous Christ body who is
614
00:44:30,480 –> 00:44:34,360
manifested in full glory as the
glorified Saints.
615
00:44:34,360 –> 00:44:40,760
You see John sees revealed
before him the 10,000 men that
616
00:44:40,760 –> 00:44:46,680
Moses refers to in his song in
chapter 33, The 10,000 men that
617
00:44:46,680 –> 00:44:52,120
Judges chapter 4 describe John
sees one like the Son of Man.
618
00:44:52,120 –> 00:44:55,000
Look what it sees in verse 10 of
Revelation chapter 1.
619
00:44:56,800 –> 00:45:01,840
And I was in the spirit, he says
on the Lord’s day, the time of
620
00:45:01,840 –> 00:45:06,120
the return of Christ, the time
when execution was ready.
621
00:45:06,120 –> 00:45:09,920
And he heard behind me a great
voice as the voice, as as of a
622
00:45:09,920 –> 00:45:14,360
trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and
Omega, the 1st and the last.
623
00:45:14,840 –> 00:45:18,560
And what thou seest, write in a
book, and send it unto the seven
624
00:45:18,560 –> 00:45:22,240
Ecclesius which are in Asia,
unto Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos,
625
00:45:22,400 –> 00:45:25,040
Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia,
and Laodicea.
626
00:45:25,040 –> 00:45:30,400
And I turned to see the voice
that spoke with me, And being
627
00:45:30,400 –> 00:45:32,440
turned, I saw 7 Kelvin
candlesticks.
628
00:45:32,440 –> 00:45:38,200
And in the midst of that 7
candlesticks was one like unto
629
00:45:38,200 –> 00:45:41,720
the Son of Man, and look what
he’s wearing, brothers and
630
00:45:41,720 –> 00:45:43,960
sisters.
Well, he’s clothed to the
631
00:45:43,960 –> 00:45:47,160
priest.
He’s clothed with a garment down
632
00:45:47,160 –> 00:45:51,320
to the foot and girt about the
paps with a golden girdle.
633
00:45:51,640 –> 00:45:54,640
This is the Saints perfected as
priests, brothers and sisters,
634
00:45:54,800 –> 00:45:58,160
The golden girdle representing
the immortalised Saints
635
00:45:58,160 –> 00:46:01,040
ministering that’s been wrapped
around this.
636
00:46:01,040 –> 00:46:03,400
These are workers, brothers and
sisters, the girdle that’s
637
00:46:03,400 –> 00:46:07,160
girded on to serve, now
ministering to the needs of
638
00:46:07,160 –> 00:46:11,720
others in an active service.
And his head, he says, and his
639
00:46:11,720 –> 00:46:15,560
hairs were white like wool, as
white as snow.
640
00:46:15,800 –> 00:46:18,120
And his arms were a flame of
fire.
641
00:46:18,280 –> 00:46:22,320
His hair was wool and and white.
This is the Saints, washed and
642
00:46:22,320 –> 00:46:27,240
cleansed in the blood of the
Lamb, his eyes a flame of fire.
643
00:46:27,360 –> 00:46:31,640
This is the intelligence of
divine judgement as they execute
644
00:46:31,640 –> 00:46:37,120
God’s vengeance and his feet, He
says, verse 15 was like fine
645
00:46:37,120 –> 00:46:40,440
brass, as as if they burned in a
furnace.
646
00:46:40,440 –> 00:46:43,680
You see, this is the
incandescent branch of the
647
00:46:43,680 –> 00:46:48,520
Saints that go forth to tread
down the wicked and to execute
648
00:46:48,520 –> 00:46:52,680
divine judgement.
And I have a voice.
649
00:46:52,960 –> 00:46:54,960
His voice was the sound of many
waters.
650
00:46:55,000 –> 00:46:58,920
You see, this is the purified
and perfected Saints who are
651
00:46:58,920 –> 00:47:03,000
going to call out and who are
called out from many people’s
652
00:47:03,000 –> 00:47:05,840
nations and tongue.
Many waters have been gathered
653
00:47:05,840 –> 00:47:09,360
from everywhere, all the tribes
coming together.
654
00:47:09,360 –> 00:47:14,600
And in his mouth, in his right
hand, he had seven stars.
655
00:47:14,600 –> 00:47:18,200
And out of his mouth was a sharp
2 edged sword.
656
00:47:18,840 –> 00:47:22,040
He’d be Cicero was going to die
by the sword.
657
00:47:22,520 –> 00:47:24,800
His men were going to be died,
killed by the sword.
658
00:47:24,800 –> 00:47:28,840
And here’s the Saints with the
two edged sword, divine
659
00:47:29,080 –> 00:47:32,080
judgement to execute judgement
of the message that would come
660
00:47:32,080 –> 00:47:36,760
forth out of the mouth.
But above all of this, brothers
661
00:47:36,760 –> 00:47:40,800
and sisters, you see what His
countenance is.
662
00:47:42,080 –> 00:47:43,560
What is His countenance going to
be like?
663
00:47:43,560 –> 00:47:50,960
Verse 16, His countenance was
this, the sun shining in His
664
00:47:51,280 –> 00:47:55,400
strength.
Look at his countenance.
665
00:47:55,560 –> 00:47:57,840
It’s the sun shining in his
strength.
666
00:47:57,840 –> 00:48:02,240
You see, here is the reenactment
of the way in which the Saints
667
00:48:02,360 –> 00:48:06,440
would once more again
participate in assisting Yahweh
668
00:48:06,480 –> 00:48:09,720
execute the vengeance of His
enemies.
669
00:48:11,480 –> 00:48:16,080
The Book of Revelation, just as
the song of Deborah, was going
670
00:48:16,080 –> 00:48:21,040
to be a message not only of hope
and relief to the Saints, but a
671
00:48:21,040 –> 00:48:26,080
warning to the world, of warning
that the judgement was coming
672
00:48:26,920 –> 00:48:34,280
and a council to come out of her
and to be turned unto Yahweh
673
00:48:34,840 –> 00:48:38,640
Elohim of Israel.
You see both of these books,
674
00:48:38,640 –> 00:48:42,360
brother and sisters, both of
these stories are recorded both
675
00:48:42,360 –> 00:48:46,480
as a message for the Saints who
were under oppression, under
676
00:48:46,480 –> 00:48:53,480
trial, under tribulation, and a
word of warning to those that
677
00:48:53,480 –> 00:48:57,840
would oppose God.
But the Saints, brothers and
678
00:48:57,840 –> 00:49:02,320
sisters would have realized,
just as the as the people of
679
00:49:02,320 –> 00:49:04,840
Israel would have realized in
the time of Deborah and Bayrek
680
00:49:05,200 –> 00:49:15,160
in jail, that God will never
ever cast aside those who love
681
00:49:15,160 –> 00:49:22,960
Him and that truly seek His face
insincerity and in truth.
682
00:49:25,000 –> 00:49:30,800
And John has shown a picture on
the Isle of Patmos, Patmos in
683
00:49:30,920 –> 00:49:37,440
solitary of the hope that was
set before him, that he might
684
00:49:37,440 –> 00:49:43,080
not lose hope and he might see
how God will bring to pass his
685
00:49:43,080 –> 00:49:45,800
Saints.
John has was shown a man who
686
00:49:45,800 –> 00:49:50,320
represented the 10,000 of
Yahweh’s Saints, glorified and
687
00:49:50,320 –> 00:49:55,560
immortalized volunteers who’d
made themselves ready to lead
688
00:49:55,560 –> 00:50:02,280
captivity captive and to bring
into subjection all of Yahweh’s
689
00:50:02,280 –> 00:50:05,920
enemies, that God might save his
people.
690
00:50:06,120 –> 00:50:11,240
So let all thine enemies perish,
and let them be them that love
691
00:50:11,240 –> 00:50:15,160
Him.
Be like the sun going forth in
692
00:50:15,160 –> 00:50:16,600
his strengths.
You see, brothers and sisters,
693
00:50:16,600 –> 00:50:23,200
we can have so much faith in our
God that He seeks our welfare
694
00:50:24,320 –> 00:50:27,120
and will save us from our
oppression.
695
00:50:28,160 –> 00:50:32,040
And the story of Deborah and the
story of Bayrack and the story
696
00:50:32,040 –> 00:50:36,640
of Jail shows us just how
leadership can motivate and
697
00:50:36,640 –> 00:50:42,880
inspire others to fulfil God’s
purpose in every single one of
698
00:50:43,080 –> 00:50:47,080
us.
Leadership is not a request, as
699
00:50:47,080 –> 00:50:50,680
we saw in our previous study.
It’s a commandment we all must
700
00:50:50,720 –> 00:50:57,440
respond to demonstrate our love
for our God and to see what He’s
701
00:50:57,440 –> 00:51:00,880
done for us.
Leadership’s not always about
702
00:51:00,880 –> 00:51:02,680
being out the front.
In fact, most of the time it’s
703
00:51:02,680 –> 00:51:04,720
not.
Leadership’s about seeing a
704
00:51:04,720 –> 00:51:09,960
need, taking initiative to go
forth in positive action, to
705
00:51:09,960 –> 00:51:14,480
motivate others in the truth
that by our example and by our
706
00:51:14,480 –> 00:51:20,680
dedication and by our service
and our encouragement, we can
707
00:51:20,680 –> 00:51:26,720
show God’s love to one another.
But it requires courage, it
708
00:51:26,720 –> 00:51:32,200
requires bravery, it requires
spiritual perception, and it
709
00:51:32,200 –> 00:51:36,000
requires diligence.
The story shows us the need that
710
00:51:36,000 –> 00:51:40,520
we have brothers and sisters to
serve one another as our Lord
711
00:51:40,520 –> 00:51:44,040
has shown us, to be a willing
volunteer, to put her hand up,
712
00:51:44,040 –> 00:51:49,320
to be prepared in His service.
To show how much we appreciate
713
00:51:49,320 –> 00:51:55,640
His mercy and His love in our
lives so that we, like those of
714
00:51:55,640 –> 00:52:00,160
Israel who responded, are
prepared to lay down our lives
715
00:52:00,760 –> 00:52:04,760
for our brothers and sisters.
That has shown us how we can
716
00:52:04,760 –> 00:52:10,560
lead in our God-given roles,
both men and women, as we
717
00:52:10,560 –> 00:52:12,040
endeavour to serve and her
service.
718
00:52:12,920 –> 00:52:17,280
The question for us is how will
we respond?
719
00:52:18,640 –> 00:52:23,280
How will we act?
May these remarkable men and
720
00:52:23,280 –> 00:52:26,600
women have inspired and
encouraged us as their
721
00:52:26,600 –> 00:52:30,280
faithfulness shown, who in the
distress and oppression and time
722
00:52:30,280 –> 00:52:34,920
of need, trusted in their God
and who willingly volunteered,
723
00:52:35,240 –> 00:52:38,440
offering themselves and service.
May their example motivate us to
724
00:52:38,440 –> 00:52:42,120
do the same and encourage each
other as we await for the day
725
00:52:42,880 –> 00:52:46,680
when judgement will come and
God’s Kingdom is here.
726
00:53:11,480 –> 00:53:13,560
I think I only have one thing to
say to that.
727
00:53:14,160 –> 00:53:21,240
Wow.
It shows us what sometimes what
728
00:53:21,240 –> 00:53:26,720
can come out of three or four
small verses, how we need to be
729
00:53:27,240 –> 00:53:29,960
diligent when we do our daily
readings.
730
00:53:32,000 –> 00:53:38,160
You know, thank you for that
Ezekiel revelation, all taken
731
00:53:38,160 –> 00:53:43,320
back from in those four verses.
Thank you.
732
00:53:44,040 –> 00:53:48,960
We’ve seen the remarkable faith
of Deborah and Barack in jail
733
00:53:51,880 –> 00:53:54,640
and you asked the question, are
we ready?
734
00:53:56,000 –> 00:54:00,240
Are we ready for her?
When God calls us to say here am
735
00:54:00,240 –> 00:54:05,200
I, send me.
That’s a question that only you
736
00:54:05,200 –> 00:54:07,520
can answer and I can only answer
for myself as well.
737
00:54:08,120 –> 00:54:12,120
But hopefully when that time
does come, we are prepared to
738
00:54:12,440 –> 00:54:16,480
put our hand up.
Now a few announcements.
739
00:54:21,520 –> 00:54:23,960
Supper will be served at the
conclusion of our meeting
740
00:54:23,960 –> 00:54:27,600
tonight.
Our next organised activity is
741
00:54:27,600 –> 00:54:31,640
set down for 10:30 AM.
It’s an occlusional outing at
742
00:54:31,640 –> 00:54:34,720
Bel Air National Park.
Now we’ve been told the
743
00:54:34,720 –> 00:54:38,360
weather’s going to be fair.
I’ve learnt to understand over
744
00:54:38,360 –> 00:54:41,880
the last 2 1/2 years of living
in Adelaide what the word fair
745
00:54:41,880 –> 00:54:45,360
means.
It could be anything but I will
746
00:54:45,360 –> 00:54:49,000
read the note that I have.
The forecast for Saturday
747
00:54:49,000 –> 00:54:50,760
morning is for some light
showers.
748
00:54:51,280 –> 00:54:54,000
At this stage we will go ahead
with the outing at Bellaire
749
00:54:54,000 –> 00:54:57,520
National Park.
Meet at 10:30 at the Walnut
750
00:54:57,920 –> 00:55:03,400
Walnut Paddock site for those
not S Australians that’s going
751
00:55:03,400 –> 00:55:05,760
to be interested for Lorinda and
I to find that.
752
00:55:06,720 –> 00:55:10,360
This can be accessed by driving
in or by parking outside the
753
00:55:10,360 –> 00:55:13,720
park and walking in.
If you wish to drive in, there
754
00:55:13,720 –> 00:55:16,840
is an entry cost of $12.50 per
vehicle.
755
00:55:17,800 –> 00:55:21,680
For those wishing to walk, the
best parking is in the gravel
756
00:55:21,680 –> 00:55:24,760
car park opposite the old Golf
Course Clubhouse.
757
00:55:25,560 –> 00:55:32,080
This can be accessed by entering
the driveway for driveway or the
758
00:55:32,080 –> 00:55:35,840
caravan park off Upper Sturt
Road and following it until you
759
00:55:35,840 –> 00:55:39,600
reach the gravel parking lot.
A gate here gives access to the
760
00:55:39,600 –> 00:55:42,280
park.
I hope everyone’s taking notes.
761
00:55:43,280 –> 00:55:47,160
It is about 1 kilometer 10 to 15
minute walk to Walnut Paddock.
762
00:55:47,160 –> 00:55:51,640
From there bring your picnic
rug, lawn games and sports
763
00:55:51,640 –> 00:55:54,480
equipment.
A bike ride suitable for kids
764
00:55:54,480 –> 00:55:57,880
and parents will be organized as
well as an easy hike.
765
00:55:58,440 –> 00:56:00,840
I’m not sure if that’s a 10 to
15 minute walk to get there in
766
00:56:00,840 –> 00:56:04,720
the first place.
A little further into the park.
767
00:56:05,160 –> 00:56:09,240
Lunch will be provided and look
forward to seeing everyone there
768
00:56:09,960 –> 00:56:13,480
in their raincoats.
So sounds like a wonderful time
769
00:56:13,480 –> 00:56:17,200
to be had by all of our ecclesia
and visitors as well.
770
00:56:18,800 –> 00:56:22,200
Sunday School is this coming
Sunday, God willing.
771
00:56:22,440 –> 00:56:26,120
Commencing at 9:00 AM.
The memorial meeting commences
772
00:56:26,120 –> 00:56:30,680
at 10:45.
Please be seated by 10:30 ex or
773
00:56:30,680 –> 00:56:34,760
by our brother Sam on Christ
leading captivity captive
774
00:56:35,560 –> 00:56:37,200
presider is brother Peter
Atkins.
775
00:56:37,520 –> 00:56:39,760
Read our brother Michael
O’Callaghan, Michael E
776
00:56:39,760 –> 00:56:43,120
O’Callaghan and organist sister
Laurenda Casey.
777
00:56:43,880 –> 00:56:48,400
Meeting will be followed by a
sit down roast dinner.
778
00:56:49,360 –> 00:56:53,320
Sounds pretty good.
So let us brethren and sisters
779
00:56:53,600 –> 00:56:56,520
bring this part of our meeting
to a conclusion, after which
780
00:56:56,520 –> 00:57:00,200
we’ll enjoy fellowship with each
other around tea and coffee and
781
00:57:00,200 –> 00:57:05,560
supper.
We conclude with Him 402 after
782
00:57:05,560 –> 00:57:07,960
which I’d ask you remain
standing, why we seek God’s
783
00:57:07,960 –> 00:57:48,440
blessing.
The.
784
00:58:17,960 –> 00:58:50,720
The.
The.
785
00:59:12,440 –> 00:59:20,160
Great or powerful God, our
loving Heavenly Father once more
786
00:59:20,160 –> 00:59:24,080
dear God, we desire to come into
Thy presence through this
787
00:59:24,760 –> 00:59:29,240
awesome privilege that you’ve
given us of prayer to be able to
788
00:59:29,240 –> 00:59:34,400
place our needs, our petitions,
our love, everything before you.
789
00:59:35,640 –> 00:59:38,240
This we can do at any time of
the day.
790
00:59:38,880 –> 00:59:44,000
We can do it alone or we can do
it as a community and as a
791
00:59:44,000 –> 00:59:47,240
community.
Now we approach you to praise
792
00:59:47,240 –> 00:59:51,760
Your great name, to thank you
for the many blessings that you
793
00:59:51,760 –> 00:59:54,360
give us.
The opportunity come aside from
794
00:59:54,360 –> 00:59:58,160
the things of the world, the
mundane things of life, to
795
00:59:58,160 –> 01:00:02,000
consider your great principles,
the stories that you have left
796
01:00:02,000 –> 01:00:07,240
of those of past ages who can
motivate us and exhort us if we
797
01:00:07,240 –> 01:00:11,160
would only take the time to
delve deeper into Your Word,
798
01:00:11,760 –> 01:00:14,240
Your Word, which is the power of
salvation.
799
01:00:15,120 –> 01:00:19,320
Oh dear God, grant us wisdom.
We pray grant us understanding.
800
01:00:20,520 –> 01:00:26,160
That we may do your pleasure and
when necessary and we are
801
01:00:26,160 –> 01:00:31,120
called, that we may each
individually say, like Isaiah,
802
01:00:31,800 –> 01:00:36,360
here am I, send me.
So dear God, we thank you for
803
01:00:36,360 –> 01:00:39,120
this night.
We give you thanks now for the
804
01:00:39,240 –> 01:00:41,880
provision of food that you’ve
provided for our benefit once
805
01:00:41,880 –> 01:00:45,720
more by the loving hands that
have prepared it to our benefit,
806
01:00:45,720 –> 01:00:50,440
that we may be refreshed.
We pray, dear God, earnestly for
807
01:00:50,440 –> 01:00:55,280
the coming of your Son, the
establishment of your Kingdom.
808
01:00:56,400 –> 01:01:00,360
And we do pray earnestly, dear
God, that through Your grace we
809
01:01:00,360 –> 01:01:04,320
may be given a place in that
Kingdom to reign as kings and
810
01:01:04,320 –> 01:01:09,120
priests with your Son, to become
teachers to the mortal
811
01:01:09,120 –> 01:01:13,800
population, and eventually to be
in you.
812
01:01:14,280 –> 01:01:18,880
All in all, at the end of that
thousand years, we give you no
813
01:01:18,880 –> 01:01:21,520
peace until that time is
established, dear God.
814
01:01:22,520 –> 01:01:26,200
And now, as we depart from this
place, we ask that you be with
815
01:01:26,200 –> 01:01:30,800
us and to take us to our homes
in safety, that on the Morrow we
816
01:01:30,800 –> 01:01:34,960
may rise and praise you in our
daily life by all the things
817
01:01:34,960 –> 01:01:39,720
that we do, say and think.
Hear our prayer, we pray, accept
818
01:01:39,720 –> 01:01:43,480
our thanksgivings as we offer it
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
819
01:01:44,120 –> 01:02:11,640
Amen.
Music.
