\n00:00:13,840 –> 00:00:15,600
\nWelcome to Good Chris Selfie and
\nTalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:17,320
\nI’m Levi.
\nAnd I’m Chris. <\/p>\n

\n00:00:17,560 –> 00:00:19,480
\nAnd I’m Brian.
\nThank you for joining us this <\/p>\n

\n00:00:19,480 –> 00:00:23,080
\nweek on this podcast.
\nWe select One Talk a week to <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:23,080 –> 00:00:26,200
\nhelp us get the Bible in our
\nDaily News feed. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:26,520 –> 00:00:29,120
\nWe post a new episode at the
\nstart of each week with the <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:29,120 –> 00:00:31,840
\nshort intro beforehand to kind
\nof set the stage for the talk <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:31,840 –> 00:00:35,400
\nyou’re about to listen to.
\nAnd now, let’s talk more about <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:35,400 –> 00:00:52,120
\nthis week’s talk.
\nHi everyone, this is Jason <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:52,120 –> 00:00:55,560
\nHensley and in this week’s
\nepisode we are going to be <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:55,560 –> 00:00:58,280
\nlistening to a Class by Brother
\nJonathan Bowen. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:58,880 –> 00:01:03,440
\nThis was given back in 2004 at
\nthe Norfolk Petersburg Prophecy <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:03,440 –> 00:01:06,640
\nWeekend and the class is called
\nFor the Hope of Israel. <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:07,600 –> 00:01:12,200
\nNow you might be wondering why
\nare we listening to a prophecy <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:12,200 –> 00:01:17,680
\nclass from 20 years ago?
\nBut the reason for it is because<\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:17,680 –> 00:01:22,600
\nI think this class, particularly
\nbecause it is 20 years ago, is <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:22,600 –> 00:01:26,480
\nhighly helpful for us today.
\nOne of the things that Brother <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:26,480 –> 00:01:30,480
\nJonathan does here is he’s not
\nnecessarily looking at prophecy.<\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:30,480 –> 00:01:35,000
\nHe’s really laying the
\nfoundation for why we care so <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:35,000 –> 00:01:39,200
\nmuch about prophecy and
\nparticularly why we care about <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:39,200 –> 00:01:43,040
\nIsrael and about the Jews.
\nAnd I think that that’s <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:43,040 –> 00:01:45,360
\nincredibly relevant right now
\nconsidering everything that’s <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:45,360 –> 00:01:48,560
\nhappening in the world.
\nAnd in particular, one of the <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:48,560 –> 00:01:51,480
\nthings that Brother Jonathan
\nbrings out is the way that <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:51,480 –> 00:01:55,560
\nChristadelphians cared for
\nJewish refugees during World War<\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:55,560 –> 00:01:58,080
\n2.
\nAnd one of the statements that <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:58,080 –> 00:02:04,160
\nhe makes is that the brothers
\nand sisters at that time, we’re <\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:04,160 –> 00:02:09,479
\nin tune with the hope of Israel.
\nAnd he poses the question of <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:09,479 –> 00:02:12,880
\nwould we be willing to do the
\nsame thing if it were happening <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:12,880 –> 00:02:15,840
\ntoday?
\nNow, I’m not suggesting that the<\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:15,840 –> 00:02:20,360
\nsame thing is happening today,
\nbut I think right now we see <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:20,360 –> 00:02:24,840
\nanti-Semitism in higher levels
\nthan it’s been in a long time. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:26,520 –> 00:02:31,640
\nAnd I think that this class
\nhelps ground us in where our <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:31,640 –> 00:02:36,000
\ncommunity has been historically
\nand where our community has been<\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:36,320 –> 00:02:41,640
\nbiblically, that we recognize
\nthat the gospel is founded on <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:41,640 –> 00:02:45,160
\nthe hope of Israel.
\nWe recognize that the children <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:45,160 –> 00:02:49,520
\nof Abraham, even the natural
\ndescendants, are beloved for the<\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:49,520 –> 00:02:54,760
\nfather’s sake.
\nWe know that God will never <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:54,760 –> 00:02:59,920
\nbreak his covenant with Israel.
\nAnd so because of that we have a<\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:59,920 –> 00:03:03,880
\nfoundation that is able to say
\nsalvation is of the Jews, that <\/p>\n

41
\n00:03:03,880 –> 00:03:07,960
\nwe can say we want to be the
\nchildren of Abraham through <\/p>\n

42
\n00:03:07,960 –> 00:03:12,600
\nfaith.
\nWe have a connection to the <\/p>\n

43
\n00:03:12,600 –> 00:03:15,520
\nJewish people, We have a
\nconnection to the Jewish hope. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:15,960 –> 00:03:18,840
\nAnd I think that Brother
\nJonathan brings that out very <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:18,840 –> 00:03:23,080
\nstrongly and he gives us a
\nmessage that we need to hear. <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:24,040 –> 00:03:30,760
\nEven though this class is 20
\nyears old, the biblical verses <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:31,400 –> 00:03:36,640
\nare pertinent and the challenge
\nis very much real today. <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:37,480 –> 00:03:41,400
\nSo I hope that you find this
\nclass inspiring, and I hope that<\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:41,400 –> 00:03:49,120
\nit reaffirms and regrounds you
\nand all of us in the hope of <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:49,120 –> 00:03:53,960
\nIsrael.
\nWe live in an extremely exciting<\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:53,960 –> 00:03:57,120
\ntime, especially when you
\nconsider all the events that are<\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:57,120 –> 00:03:58,920
\nsort of going on in the world
\naround us. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:59,240 –> 00:04:01,800
\nWe’re not going to focus
\nprimarily this weekend on what <\/p>\n

54
\n00:04:01,800 –> 00:04:05,280
\nis happening per SE right now,
\nbut when you add up the wind of <\/p>\n

55
\n00:04:05,280 –> 00:04:08,760
\nchange that’s sort of in the
\nair, it’s pretty incredible. <\/p>\n

56
\n00:04:08,920 –> 00:04:11,720
\nYou, of course, are very well
\naware, how could you not be <\/p>\n

57
\n00:04:11,720 –> 00:04:16,399
\nliving the land of advertising
\nof the upcoming election and all<\/p>\n

58
\n00:04:16,399 –> 00:04:19,399
\nthe different things that that
\nmay bring, the change that they <\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:19,399 –> 00:04:22,480
\nmay bring.
\nEither way, whoever gets in, we <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:22,480 –> 00:04:25,440
\nwere discussing with somebody
\nback at home in Canada about the<\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:25,520 –> 00:04:28,320
\nthe possibility of the
\ndifference if George Bush was to<\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:28,320 –> 00:04:31,000
\nget in a second time.
\nHow, that being the way your <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:31,000 –> 00:04:35,320
\nelectoral electoral system works
\nis that he would have to have a <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:36,320 –> 00:04:38,560
\nor he was only allowed to have a
\nsecond term. <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:38,640 –> 00:04:42,600
\nTherefore, what he does in his
\nsecond term does not necessarily<\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:42,600 –> 00:04:45,200
\nrequire him to concern himself
\nwith re election. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:45,680 –> 00:04:47,280
\nSo he may be much more
\naggressive. <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:47,280 –> 00:04:51,360
\nHe may be much more forward in
\nthe things that he does as <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:51,360 –> 00:04:55,160
\nopposed to the first election.
\nIf it was to be John Kerry that <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:55,160 –> 00:04:58,040
\nwas to get in again, things may
\nchange substantially. <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:58,040 –> 00:05:01,720
\nWe may see the whole situation
\nmove around in a different <\/p>\n

72
\n00:05:01,720 –> 00:05:04,240
\ndirection.
\nAnd it’s interesting to see when<\/p>\n

73
\n00:05:04,240 –> 00:05:08,560
\nGeorge Bush first got in that
\nhis policy was to stand away <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:08,560 –> 00:05:11,040
\nfrom and to and to move back
\nfrom world affairs. <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:11,040 –> 00:05:15,040
\nAn idea of isolationism, I guess
\nyou could say that was there in <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:15,040 –> 00:05:18,640
\nyears gone by in the past.
\nAnd yet God intervened in that <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:18,640 –> 00:05:21,440
\nand wouldn’t allow America to go
\ndown that road. <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:21,880 –> 00:05:25,720
\nAmerica was turning in, in some
\nways away from, from assistance <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:25,720 –> 00:05:28,080
\nto and in help with the nation
\nof Israel. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:28,600 –> 00:05:31,720
\nThey were being somewhat
\nblackmailed by the Bush <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:31,720 –> 00:05:35,680
\nadministration initially as to
\ndifferent ways they had to turn.<\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:36,120 –> 00:05:40,240
\nAnd it was that during that time
\nthere was a Jew living in Israel<\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:40,240 –> 00:05:42,240
\nwho rode into the Jerusalem
\nPost. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:42,600 –> 00:05:45,960
\nAnd he said, you know, we’re
\nreally in a real dire straight. <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:46,320 –> 00:05:47,960
\nWe’ve tried just about
\neverything. <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:48,040 –> 00:05:52,600
\nWe’ve tried war.
\nAnd he listed off 19481967, the <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:52,600 –> 00:05:57,680
\nSix Day War, 1973, he says We’ve
\ntried this idea of peace. <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:57,680 –> 00:06:00,600
\nWe tried it under and initially
\nMenachem Bagan and then with <\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:00,600 –> 00:06:04,480
\nRabin and so on and so forth.
\nWe’ve tried conciliation where <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:04,480 –> 00:06:07,760
\nwe’re going to give up the West
\nBank on the E Hood Barack and <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:07,760 –> 00:06:12,280
\nhand it over to Yasser Arafat,
\nwho turned it down, he says. <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:12,280 –> 00:06:14,360
\nAnd we’ve tried all these
\ndifferent things and now we’re <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:14,360 –> 00:06:17,560
\ninto this intifada stage where
\nbasically we have terrorism. <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:17,560 –> 00:06:20,120
\nGoing on and we just do not know
\nwhat to do. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:21,040 –> 00:06:23,320
\nAnd he turned around.
\nHe wrote and he said perhaps <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:23,560 –> 00:06:27,360
\nJews all across the world need
\nto write, not write. <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:27,360 –> 00:06:30,760
\nSorry, need to need to get
\ntogether and need to pray to the<\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:30,760 –> 00:06:32,960
\nGod of Abraham.
\nWho is the one who? <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:32,960 –> 00:06:35,280
\nLed us through the Red Sea and
\ntimes gone by. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:35,720 –> 00:06:38,960
\nAnd provide for us some kind of
\na change that will help this <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:38,960 –> 00:06:41,840
\nnation out.
\nThree days later, September the <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:41,840 –> 00:06:45,280
\n11th took place and the whole
\nworld changed. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:45,520 –> 00:06:49,560
\nIsrael’s enemies automatically
\nbecame America’s enemies and the<\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:49,560 –> 00:06:52,000
\nmost powerful nation on earth
\nwas used by. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:52,000 –> 00:06:54,360
\nGod.
\nTo change the situation in the <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:54,360 –> 00:06:57,480
\nMiddle East, and that is still
\ngoing on today, we live in a <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:57,480 –> 00:07:00,080
\ntime of change.
\nWe think of the Pope himself, <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:00,080 –> 00:07:04,560
\nwho is now very aged and very
\nfrail and is expected to die at <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:04,560 –> 00:07:07,600
\nany point in time, and the
\nchange that that will bring to <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:07,600 –> 00:07:09,960
\nthe world.
\nWe think of Yasser Arafat, who <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:09,960 –> 00:07:12,760
\nhas been removed out of Israel
\nfor the first time in several <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:12,760 –> 00:07:15,920
\nyears and is now in Paris
\nundergoing medical treatment. <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:15,920 –> 00:07:18,160
\nAnd they’re not really sure
\nwhether he’s going to live or <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:18,160 –> 00:07:19,920
\nnot.
\nThrough the next few weeks and <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:19,920 –> 00:07:22,160
\nmonths.
\nAnd we think of course the <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:22,160 –> 00:07:25,360
\nnation of Great Britain whereby
\nthey’re also facing an election <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:25,360 –> 00:07:29,040
\ncoming up which again may change
\nthe way they respond and and <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:29,040 –> 00:07:32,800
\ncooperate with or against or
\nAmerica and and Israel, there’s <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:32,800 –> 00:07:37,000
\na great cross the world turmoil
\nas to what is going. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:37,000 –> 00:07:38,840
\nOn and the things that are
\nhappening. <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:39,280 –> 00:07:42,720
\nSo we think of the words of
\nRomans chapter 13 and verse 12. <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:42,720 –> 00:07:46,120
\nThe night is far spent, the day
\nis at hand. <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:46,120 –> 00:07:49,840
\nLet us therefore cast off the
\nworks of darkness and put on the<\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:49,840 –> 00:07:52,840
\narmour of light.
\nLet us walk honestly, as in the <\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:52,840 –> 00:07:55,680
\nday, not in rioting and
\ndrunkenness, not in chambering <\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:55,680 –> 00:07:58,040
\nand wantonness, not in strife
\nand envying. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:07:58,320 –> 00:08:01,800
\nBut put ye on the Lord Jesus
\nChrist, and make not provision <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:01,800 –> 00:08:04,320
\nfor the flesh to fulfill the
\nlusts thereof. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:04,760 –> 00:08:08,280
\nAnd so there there we have it.
\nThe night is far spent, the day <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:08,280 –> 00:08:11,000
\nis here and we often ask the
\nquestion well. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:11,000 –> 00:08:14,920
\nWhy is it that the Lord Jesus
\nChrist has not returned yet? <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:15,160 –> 00:08:19,480
\nHow come we are still here?
\nOn what basis is what else has <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:19,480 –> 00:08:21,960
\nto happen before we will be
\ntaken away? <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:22,560 –> 00:08:26,960
\nWe must realize that this is the
\ngrace of Almighty God to us and <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:26,960 –> 00:08:31,040
\nto our children, that we still
\nhave the opportunity to reform <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:31,040 –> 00:08:34,280
\nour lives and the lives of the
\necclesias, make those necessary <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:34,280 –> 00:08:38,159
\nchanges, so that when the Lord
\nJesus Christ does come, He may <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:38,159 –> 00:08:41,799
\nfind us in situation of joy and
\ngladness, looking forward to <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:41,799 –> 00:08:44,760
\nmeeting Him.
\nAnd not in a situation of sorrow<\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:45,200 –> 00:08:48,680
\nand in fear.
\nAnd so we’re excited as we come <\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:48,680 –> 00:08:50,560
\ntogether to discuss the subject
\ntoday. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:08:50,960 –> 00:08:54,840
\nIt’s a subject that is very dear
\nto myself and I hope to to all <\/p>\n

143
\n00:08:54,840 –> 00:08:58,320
\nof you, and if not perhaps as
\nmuch so now then by the end of <\/p>\n

144
\n00:08:58,320 –> 00:09:01,520
\nthe day, hopefully it will be
\nwe’re going to be moving at a <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:01,520 –> 00:09:05,000
\nfairly rapid pace, as we do
\nhave. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:05,480 –> 00:09:08,880
\nA lot of material to cover, but
\nhopefully by having things on <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:08,880 –> 00:09:11,720
\nthe screen that will help us out
\nin following along. <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:12,680 –> 00:09:16,360
\nNow when we consider the subject
\nthat we have in our first <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:16,360 –> 00:09:19,960
\nsession, it’s it’s really a
\ntouchstone I guess you could say<\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:20,280 –> 00:09:24,920
\nis to how we, we sort of look at
\nourselves as a community where <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:24,920 –> 00:09:27,920
\nwe’ve come from and what
\nseparates us from the world <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:27,920 –> 00:09:30,640
\naround us.
\nAnd one of those key things is <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:30,640 –> 00:09:35,040
\nthe promises to Abraham.
\nAnd when we consider did, this <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:35,040 –> 00:09:38,520
\nis the Apostolic hope as we have
\nsaid, the hope of Israel. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:39,160 –> 00:09:42,800
\nThe whole truth as we know it is
\nrooted in these things. <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:43,000 –> 00:09:44,920
\nThat’s where we began as a
\ncommunity. <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:44,920 –> 00:09:46,520
\nThat’s where the apostles were
\nat. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:09:46,680 –> 00:09:50,120
\nAs we hope to demonstrate over
\nthe next few minutes, when God <\/p>\n

159
\n00:09:50,120 –> 00:09:53,680
\nfirst re revealed himself to
\nAbraham as he was called at that<\/p>\n

160
\n00:09:53,680 –> 00:09:58,600
\npoint in time, he laid out his
\nplan for separating a people for<\/p>\n

161
\n00:09:58,600 –> 00:10:01,640
\nhis name.
\nWe call it God manifestation. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:01,640 –> 00:10:04,280
\nThat’s the title we put to that
\ndoctrine how that God would <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:04,280 –> 00:10:08,440
\nbasically in his characteristics
\nbe seen in the people who he <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:08,440 –> 00:10:11,400
\nwould call to himself.
\nAnd that’s the way it was for <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:11,400 –> 00:10:14,760
\nAbraham back in Genesis chapter
\n12 and verse one. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:15,000 –> 00:10:17,880
\nThe Lord had said to Abraham,
\nget thee out of thy country from<\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:17,880 –> 00:10:20,320
\nthy kindred, from thy father’s
\nhouse, to a land that I will <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:20,320 –> 00:10:23,840
\nshow thee and I will maketh thee
\na great nation and I will bless <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:23,840 –> 00:10:26,240
\nthee and make thy name great.
\nAnd so he goes on. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:26,640 –> 00:10:29,440
\nBut the point there is it is
\nseparation. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:30,000 –> 00:10:33,000
\nHe had to leave his father’s
\nhouse. <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:33,200 –> 00:10:37,760
\nHe had to leave his kindred.
\nHe had to leave his country to a<\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:37,760 –> 00:10:41,040
\nland that God would show him.
\nHe had to separate himself from <\/p>\n

174
\n00:10:41,040 –> 00:10:44,800
\neverything that he knew and that
\nwas comfortable to him. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:10:44,800 –> 00:10:47,000
\nHis comfort zone, I guess you
\ncould say we would call it <\/p>\n

176
\n00:10:47,000 –> 00:10:48,880
\ntoday.
\nAnd he had to set out on a <\/p>\n

177
\n00:10:48,880 –> 00:10:50,360
\njourney for something that he
\nreally. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:10:50,360 –> 00:10:53,720
\nDidn’t know what it was all
\ngoing to be about, but he had to<\/p>\n

179
\n00:10:53,720 –> 00:10:56,160
\ngo because God told him to.
\nAnd it was in faith. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:10:56,640 –> 00:10:59,280
\nAnd of course we see ourselves
\nvery similar to that, that we <\/p>\n

181
\n00:10:59,280 –> 00:11:00,840
\nhave to leave the world around
\nus. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:01,080 –> 00:11:03,640
\nSometimes it requires us to
\nleave our families. <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:03,880 –> 00:11:07,040
\nSometimes it requires us to
\nseparate ourselves from those <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:07,040 –> 00:11:11,400
\nwho who perhaps we have been
\nfriendly with, because not so <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:11,400 –> 00:11:14,760
\nmuch we separate from them.
\nBut if we walk in this path, we <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:14,760 –> 00:11:17,040
\nfind that they will separate
\nfrom us at times. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:17,520 –> 00:11:20,840
\nBut that’s what this man have to
\ndo, and it’s a doctrine We <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:20,840 –> 00:11:23,520
\nunderstand, the doctrine of the
\nhope of Israel as it is. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:24,080 –> 00:11:26,840
\nShown forward in Abraham, the
\npromises that were put forward. <\/p>\n

190
\n00:11:27,200 –> 00:11:29,320
\nWe memorize these verses in
\nSunday School. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:11:29,440 –> 00:11:31,080
\nHopefully we do.
\nOur children should be <\/p>\n

192
\n00:11:31,080 –> 00:11:33,720
\nmemorizing them because these
\nare the key things for us. <\/p>\n

193
\n00:11:34,160 –> 00:11:37,360
\nAnd we want to pass them on.
\nThis is almost like air when we <\/p>\n

194
\n00:11:37,400 –> 00:11:40,080
\nlittle children get up and then,
\nespecially in the United States,<\/p>\n

195
\n00:11:40,080 –> 00:11:41,360
\nand they do their Pledge of
\nAllegiance. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:11:41,360 –> 00:11:44,000
\nWell, this is almost our Pledge
\nof Allegiance, that this is the <\/p>\n

197
\n00:11:44,000 –> 00:11:47,800
\nhope that God has given us, that
\nthere will be in the future time<\/p>\n

198
\n00:11:48,000 –> 00:11:50,360
\na Kingdom set up.
\nAnd we have been promised to be <\/p>\n

199
\n00:11:50,480 –> 00:11:55,000
\ninvolved in these things.
\nNow the world around us though, <\/p>\n

200
\n00:11:55,240 –> 00:11:58,600
\nspecifically the the Christian
\nworld around us, is very <\/p>\n

201
\n00:11:58,600 –> 00:12:03,000
\nunfamiliar with these things, as
\nis is evidenced by the actions <\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:03,000 –> 00:12:06,800
\nthat they take just recently.
\nThe Methodist, sorry, not the <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:06,800 –> 00:12:11,560
\nMethodist, it would be the
\nPresbyterian Church. <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:11,560 –> 00:12:16,160
\nThat’s it has moved to separate
\nthemselves from any company <\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:16,160 –> 00:12:18,880
\nthey’ve set out in, in
\nespecially in America. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:12:18,880 –> 00:12:20,440
\nAnd of course, there are
\ndifferent strains of <\/p>\n

207
\n00:12:20,440 –> 00:12:23,800
\nPresbyterians to separate
\nthemselves from any company that<\/p>\n

208
\n00:12:23,800 –> 00:12:26,160
\nis found to be supporting Israel
\nin any way. <\/p>\n

209
\n00:12:26,640 –> 00:12:29,040
\nAnd they’ve sort of had a
\nboycott, A sanction against <\/p>\n

210
\n00:12:29,040 –> 00:12:32,160
\nthey’ve said throughout their
\ncommunity that they do not want <\/p>\n

211
\n00:12:32,320 –> 00:12:36,320
\npeople to basically do business
\nwith those who would do business<\/p>\n

212
\n00:12:36,320 –> 00:12:38,560
\nwith Israel.
\nWhen you think about that, you <\/p>\n

213
\n00:12:38,560 –> 00:12:40,600
\nsay, well, that’s no different
\nthan Nazi Germany. <\/p>\n

214
\n00:12:40,640 –> 00:12:43,720
\nThere was a boycott on Jewish
\nstores, but that’s going on in <\/p>\n

215
\n00:12:43,720 –> 00:12:46,720
\nAmerica around us from the
\nChristians, from the people who <\/p>\n

216
\n00:12:46,720 –> 00:12:49,760
\nshould know better.
\nAnd so we realize that they’re <\/p>\n

217
\n00:12:49,760 –> 00:12:53,600
\nnot in tune with the gospel as
\nit was preached to Abraham, and <\/p>\n

218
\n00:12:53,600 –> 00:12:56,960
\nthat is seen in their actions.
\nAnd so as we consider this, we <\/p>\n

219
\n00:12:56,960 –> 00:13:00,080
\nthink of Abraham, we think of
\nthe extent of these things were <\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:00,080 –> 00:13:02,080
\ninvolved.
\nIt wasn’t just to him, but as we<\/p>\n

221
\n00:13:02,080 –> 00:13:06,600
\nhave in Genesis 15 verse 18, the
\nsame day that the Lord made a <\/p>\n

222
\n00:13:06,600 –> 00:13:10,280
\ncovenant with Abraham saying
\nunto thy seed, have I given this<\/p>\n

223
\n00:13:10,280 –> 00:13:13,080
\nland from the great river the
\nriver Euphrates, or from the <\/p>\n

224
\n00:13:13,080 –> 00:13:15,440
\nriver of Egypt to the great
\nriver, the river Euphrates. <\/p>\n

225
\n00:13:16,040 –> 00:13:18,320
\nAnd what we consider that today,
\nit’s kind of amusing with all <\/p>\n

226
\n00:13:18,320 –> 00:13:22,800
\nthis debate they have on this
\nlittle area up in the South of <\/p>\n

227
\n00:13:22,800 –> 00:13:25,400
\nIsrael, Gush Khatif, the little
\nsettlements they’re talking <\/p>\n

228
\n00:13:25,400 –> 00:13:27,000
\nabout pulling out of.
\nI mean what? <\/p>\n

229
\n00:13:27,000 –> 00:13:29,360
\nGod said to Abraham, is to
\nforget this little settlements <\/p>\n

230
\n00:13:29,360 –> 00:13:32,160
\nI’m going to give you from the
\nriver of Egypt way over into the<\/p>\n

231
\n00:13:32,160 –> 00:13:34,680
\narea of Babylon, as it would be
\nthe great river Euphrates. <\/p>\n

232
\n00:13:34,680 –> 00:13:37,160
\nThat’s the area that’s totally
\npromised to them. <\/p>\n

233
\n00:13:37,720 –> 00:13:40,640
\nSo we see that this is the
\npromise, but it’s not just <\/p>\n

234
\n00:13:40,640 –> 00:13:44,440
\nAbraham.
\nIt’s also to his seed. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:13:44,880 –> 00:13:47,880
\nAnd we have to key on that,
\nbecause that’s the part that is <\/p>\n

236
\n00:13:47,880 –> 00:13:50,040
\nlost.
\nPeople read about Abraham and <\/p>\n

237
\n00:13:50,040 –> 00:13:53,120
\nthey say, oh, he’s a great man,
\nHe was a believer, a faithful <\/p>\n

238
\n00:13:53,120 –> 00:13:55,480
\nman, an example.
\nAnd they do talk about him, but <\/p>\n

239
\n00:13:55,480 –> 00:13:59,080
\nthey missed the point that it’s
\nnot just Abraham, it’s also to <\/p>\n

240
\n00:13:59,080 –> 00:14:00,880
\nhis seed that these promises
\nwere given. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:14:01,520 –> 00:14:05,160
\nGenesis Chapter 17.
\nAs we continue through As for <\/p>\n

242
\n00:14:05,160 –> 00:14:07,960
\nme, behold, my covenant is with
\nthee and thou. <\/p>\n

243
\n00:14:07,960 –> 00:14:11,160
\nShalt be a father of many
\nnations, and he changes of name,<\/p>\n

244
\n00:14:11,160 –> 00:14:14,480
\nof course, from Abraham to
\nAbraham the father of nations. <\/p>\n

245
\n00:14:14,880 –> 00:14:17,480
\nAnd he goes on to say, I’ll make
\nthe exceeding fruit, forming <\/p>\n

246
\n00:14:17,480 –> 00:14:20,880
\nnations of thee, and King shall
\ncome out. <\/p>\n

247
\n00:14:20,880 –> 00:14:24,080
\nOf thee so the first reference
\nrelated to the Kingdom of God. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:14:24,440 –> 00:14:27,640
\nThat would be on earth.
\nIs that from this man Abraham? <\/p>\n

249
\n00:14:28,040 –> 00:14:31,960
\nThere would be kings that would
\nin future come out of him. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:14:32,360 –> 00:14:37,040
\nAnd of course, he goes on in
\nchapter 17, verse seven, he says<\/p>\n

251
\n00:14:37,040 –> 00:14:40,840
\nI’m going to establish my
\ncovenant between me and thee <\/p>\n

252
\n00:14:41,000 –> 00:14:43,520
\nand.
\nThy seed after thee. <\/p>\n

253
\n00:14:44,000 –> 00:14:48,440
\nFor an everlasting covenant, to
\nbe their God unto thee, and and <\/p>\n

254
\n00:14:48,440 –> 00:14:50,200
\nto the and to thy seed after
\nthee. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:14:50,280 –> 00:14:51,760
\nAnd he says, I’m going to give
\nthem this land. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:14:51,760 –> 00:14:54,720
\nWe’re on your stranger for an
\neverlasting possession. <\/p>\n

257
\n00:14:54,720 –> 00:14:58,720
\nAnd I will be their God.
\nSo we see that these are basic <\/p>\n

258
\n00:14:58,720 –> 00:15:04,160
\nSunday School first principles,
\nthat when God chose to separate <\/p>\n

259
\n00:15:04,160 –> 00:15:08,400
\nIsrael out, He made a promise
\nwith this man and with those who<\/p>\n

260
\n00:15:08,400 –> 00:15:12,160
\nwould follow him.
\nBut there’s two aspects of those<\/p>\n

261
\n00:15:12,160 –> 00:15:15,920
\nwho would follow him follow him
\nphysically, as in his physical <\/p>\n

262
\n00:15:15,920 –> 00:15:20,880
\ndescendants, but also those who
\nwould walk in the footsteps of <\/p>\n

263
\n00:15:20,880 –> 00:15:23,320
\nfaithful Abraham.
\nThere is both Jew. <\/p>\n

264
\n00:15:23,320 –> 00:15:25,720
\nAnd there is Gentile.
\nJust turn, if you would, for a <\/p>\n

265
\n00:15:25,720 –> 00:15:30,560
\nmoment, to Ruth.
\nWhen we consider this, Ruth is a<\/p>\n

266
\n00:15:30,560 –> 00:15:36,520
\nprime example of a Gentile who
\nhas that Abrahamic spirit in <\/p>\n

267
\n00:15:36,520 –> 00:15:39,760
\nher.
\nShe is, perhaps you could call <\/p>\n

268
\n00:15:39,760 –> 00:15:45,200
\nher in many ways the the female
\nversion of the Abrahamic faith. <\/p>\n

269
\n00:15:45,880 –> 00:15:49,560
\nBecause when you come to the
\nsection in Ruth where Boaz is <\/p>\n

270
\n00:15:49,560 –> 00:15:54,400
\ntalking to Ruth and he’s done
\nhis homework and he knows who <\/p>\n

271
\n00:15:54,400 –> 00:15:57,800
\nthis young woman is.
\nAnd as he’s looking for <\/p>\n

272
\n00:15:58,880 –> 00:16:02,240
\npartnership or companionship,
\nhere’s a man who’s who’s really <\/p>\n

273
\n00:16:02,400 –> 00:16:05,560
\nsort of sussed it out and
\nfigured out what this young <\/p>\n

274
\n00:16:05,560 –> 00:16:08,560
\nlady’s all about.
\nAnd he tells her this in verse. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:16:08,560 –> 00:16:13,480
\n11 Boaz answers, and says to
\nRuth, It’s been fully showed me <\/p>\n

276
\n00:16:13,680 –> 00:16:17,120
\nall that you have done unto thy
\nmother-in-law since the death of<\/p>\n

277
\n00:16:17,120 –> 00:16:18,680
\nthine husband.
\nSo he says. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:16:18,680 –> 00:16:21,680
\nLook, I know who you.
\nAre I’ve got my spies in the <\/p>\n

279
\n00:16:21,680 –> 00:16:25,360
\nland, so to speak, and they’ve
\ntold me about your character. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:16:25,760 –> 00:16:28,480
\nBut notice the words now that
\nhe’s going to go on to say. <\/p>\n

281
\n00:16:28,760 –> 00:16:32,000
\nNotice what he says about what
\nshe did. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:16:32,600 –> 00:16:36,560
\nThou hast left thy father and
\nthy mother. <\/p>\n

283
\n00:16:36,640 –> 00:16:39,920
\nRemember, Abraham, you’re to
\nleave your kindred in your <\/p>\n

284
\n00:16:39,920 –> 00:16:43,400
\nfather’s house and the land of
\nyour nativity. <\/p>\n

285
\n00:16:43,680 –> 00:16:46,400
\nShe he also left her of the
\nCaldes. <\/p>\n

286
\n00:16:46,400 –> 00:16:48,160
\nYou to leave the land wherein he
\nwas. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:16:48,160 –> 00:16:53,040
\nHe was living and come to a
\npeople which you know not <\/p>\n

288
\n00:16:53,040 –> 00:16:57,240
\nheretofore, to a land that I
\nwill show you that he knew <\/p>\n

289
\n00:16:57,240 –> 00:17:00,320
\nnothing about.
\nAnd so Ruth is patterned in the <\/p>\n

290
\n00:17:00,320 –> 00:17:05,520
\nsame stamp she follows in faith,
\nleaving country behind, leaving <\/p>\n

291
\n00:17:05,520 –> 00:17:09,000
\nfamily behind, leaving all the
\nthings that were her comfort <\/p>\n

292
\n00:17:09,000 –> 00:17:12,599
\nzone to a land that she didn’t
\neven know except by faith, by <\/p>\n

293
\n00:17:12,599 –> 00:17:15,079
\nwhat Naomi had faithfully taught
\nto her. <\/p>\n

294
\n00:17:15,440 –> 00:17:19,200
\nSo this young woman comes into
\nthe land of promise as a Gentile<\/p>\n

295
\n00:17:19,400 –> 00:17:21,640
\nand is brought into the
\ncovenants of promise. <\/p>\n

296
\n00:17:22,079 –> 00:17:26,000
\nAnd that’s why it is that when
\nwe describe or when God <\/p>\n

297
\n00:17:26,000 –> 00:17:30,520
\ndescribes Abraham in Genesis 22,
\nby inspiration he says in <\/p>\n

298
\n00:17:30,520 –> 00:17:33,240
\nblessing I will bless thee
\nmultiplying, I will multiply <\/p>\n

299
\n00:17:33,240 –> 00:17:36,360
\nthy.
\nSeed as the stars of heaven, and<\/p>\n

300
\n00:17:36,360 –> 00:17:39,840
\nas the sandwiches upon the
\nseashore, thy seed shall possess<\/p>\n

301
\n00:17:39,840 –> 00:17:42,760
\nthe gate of his enemy.
\nSo we have two seeds that he’s <\/p>\n

302
\n00:17:42,760 –> 00:17:44,760
\ntalking about two analogies that
\nhe gives. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:17:45,200 –> 00:17:49,040
\nThere is the stars of heaven,
\nwhich is a spiritual seed, and <\/p>\n

304
\n00:17:49,040 –> 00:17:51,720
\nthere is the sand of the
\nseashore, which is a natural, <\/p>\n

305
\n00:17:51,720 –> 00:17:54,800
\nearthly seed.
\nAnd both of those things have <\/p>\n

306
\n00:17:54,800 –> 00:17:56,760
\nbeen promised.
\nBoth of those seeds have been <\/p>\n

307
\n00:17:56,760 –> 00:17:59,960
\npromised participation in the
\npromises to Abraham. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:18:00,600 –> 00:18:03,720
\nNow of course we know through
\nour basic public lectures that <\/p>\n

309
\n00:18:03,720 –> 00:18:07,400
\nthese are unfulfilled promises.
\nActs, Chapter 7, verse five. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:18:07,720 –> 00:18:09,720
\nHe gave him none.
\nInheritance in it. <\/p>\n

311
\n00:18:09,720 –> 00:18:11,840
\nNo, not so much as to set his
\nfoot on. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:18:11,840 –> 00:18:15,120
\nSo Stephen says to us that,
\nlook, he didn’t get a piece of <\/p>\n

313
\n00:18:15,120 –> 00:18:18,920
\nit, but he promised that he
\nwould give it to him for a <\/p>\n

314
\n00:18:18,920 –> 00:18:21,400
\npossession.
\nAnd to his seat after him. <\/p>\n

315
\n00:18:21,760 –> 00:18:24,680
\nSo although he didn’t have as
\nmuch as to set his foot on, I <\/p>\n

316
\n00:18:24,680 –> 00:18:27,480
\nmean, there was The Cave in
\nMakpila, but God didn’t give <\/p>\n

317
\n00:18:27,480 –> 00:18:28,760
\nthat to him.
\nHe had to buy it. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:18:29,240 –> 00:18:30,880
\nAnd there he buried his wife.
\nAnd that’s. <\/p>\n

319
\n00:18:30,880 –> 00:18:33,280
\nAll he had.
\nAnd there, of course, he was <\/p>\n

320
\n00:18:33,280 –> 00:18:36,960
\nburied as well later on.
\nBut he says that he would give <\/p>\n

321
\n00:18:36,960 –> 00:18:39,360
\nit to him and to his seed after
\nhim. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:18:39,760 –> 00:18:42,720
\nAnd so it is as we follow
\nIsrael’s history through we get <\/p>\n

323
\n00:18:42,720 –> 00:18:45,960
\nto Second Samuel.
\nWe find that these promises are <\/p>\n

324
\n00:18:45,960 –> 00:18:49,320
\npicked up at the time when
\nSamuel or when David wants to <\/p>\n

325
\n00:18:49,320 –> 00:18:51,840
\nbuild the house for the Lord.
\nAnd the Lord says to him, well, <\/p>\n

326
\n00:18:52,120 –> 00:18:54,480
\nno, you’re not going to build a
\nhouse for me, but I’m going to <\/p>\n

327
\n00:18:54,480 –> 00:18:57,600
\nestablish your house.
\nAnd he says in Second Samuel 7 <\/p>\n

328
\n00:18:57,600 –> 00:19:01,080
\nverse 12, I will set up thy seed
\nafter thee, which shall proceed <\/p>\n

329
\n00:19:01,080 –> 00:19:04,360
\nout of thy bowels, and I will
\nestablish his Kingdom. <\/p>\n

330
\n00:19:04,840 –> 00:19:08,200
\nAnd he shall build a house for
\nmy name, and I will establish <\/p>\n

331
\n00:19:08,240 –> 00:19:10,800
\nthe throne of his Kingdom
\nforever. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:19:11,240 –> 00:19:14,160
\nSo he elaborates on those
\npromises that were given to <\/p>\n

333
\n00:19:14,160 –> 00:19:18,000
\nDavid or to Abraham, where he
\nsays, King shall come from thee.<\/p>\n

334
\n00:19:18,000 –> 00:19:20,120
\nAnd here is the king the man
\nDavid. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:19:20,560 –> 00:19:23,640
\nAnd to David he says, listen,
\nI’m going to take your seed now,<\/p>\n

336
\n00:19:23,920 –> 00:19:25,960
\nand I’m going to establish his
\nKingdom. <\/p>\n

337
\n00:19:26,240 –> 00:19:29,240
\nAnd of course he will build a
\nhouse for me, and so on and so <\/p>\n

338
\n00:19:29,240 –> 00:19:32,920
\nforth.
\nAnd so that is the situation <\/p>\n

339
\n00:19:33,080 –> 00:19:36,160
\nthat would develop from David.
\nAnd of course we know to follow <\/p>\n

340
\n00:19:36,160 –> 00:19:39,080
\nthat through to the New
\nTestament, to the Gospel of <\/p>\n

341
\n00:19:39,080 –> 00:19:42,280
\nLuke, When the Angel Gabriel
\ncomes and visits Mary. <\/p>\n

342
\n00:19:42,600 –> 00:19:45,200
\nAnd the Angel Gabriel says,
\nBehold, thou shalt conceive in <\/p>\n

343
\n00:19:45,200 –> 00:19:48,920
\nthy womb, and bring forth a son,
\nand shall call his name Yahashua<\/p>\n

344
\n00:19:48,920 –> 00:19:52,400
\nor Jesus, and he shall be great,
\nand shall be called the Son of <\/p>\n

345
\n00:19:52,400 –> 00:19:54,760
\nthe Highest.
\nAnd the Lord God shall give to <\/p>\n

346
\n00:19:54,760 –> 00:19:57,600
\nhim the throne of his father
\nDavid, and he shall reign over <\/p>\n

347
\n00:19:57,600 –> 00:20:00,640
\nthe House of Jacob Forever.
\nAnd of his Kingdom there shall <\/p>\n

348
\n00:20:00,640 –> 00:20:03,640
\nbe no end.
\nSo that promise is tied right <\/p>\n

349
\n00:20:03,640 –> 00:20:06,360
\ninto the Lord Jesus Christ as we
\nknow. <\/p>\n

350
\n00:20:06,720 –> 00:20:10,400
\nAnd of course, when the people
\nare looking for him at the time <\/p>\n

351
\n00:20:10,400 –> 00:20:14,720
\nof his birth, we find that they
\nask the question, where is he <\/p>\n

352
\n00:20:14,720 –> 00:20:17,120
\nthat was born?
\nKing of the Jews. <\/p>\n

353
\n00:20:17,640 –> 00:20:21,440
\nSo this is the one, as we know,
\nwho would be the one that was to<\/p>\n

354
\n00:20:21,440 –> 00:20:26,200
\nfulfill those promises to David.
\nAnd so we find that there were <\/p>\n

355
\n00:20:26,200 –> 00:20:30,880
\nthose who were looking for the
\nrestoration of the Kingdom to <\/p>\n

356
\n00:20:30,880 –> 00:20:34,640
\nIsrael, and this king, the
\nMessiah, who would come. <\/p>\n

357
\n00:20:34,920 –> 00:20:39,600
\nIn accordance to the words of
\nprophecy, Micah chapter 4, verse<\/p>\n

358
\n00:20:39,600 –> 00:20:42,880
\nsix we read there in that day,
\nsaith the Lord, I will assemble <\/p>\n

359
\n00:20:42,880 –> 00:20:45,560
\nher that halteth.
\nAnd I will gather her that is <\/p>\n

360
\n00:20:45,560 –> 00:20:49,360
\ndriven out, and I will make her
\nthat was cast off a strong <\/p>\n

361
\n00:20:49,360 –> 00:20:50,800
\nnation.
\nSo it’s talking about the <\/p>\n

362
\n00:20:50,800 –> 00:20:54,640
\nrestoration of Israel when these
\nthings would actually come to <\/p>\n

363
\n00:20:54,640 –> 00:20:57,880
\npass.
\nAnd he goes on to say, And the <\/p>\n

364
\n00:20:57,880 –> 00:21:00,600
\nLord shall reign over them in
\nMount Zion. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:21:00,600 –> 00:21:05,240
\nFrom henceforth even forever
\nUnto thee shall it come. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:21:05,240 –> 00:21:09,320
\nEven the first dominion, the
\nKingdom shall come to the <\/p>\n

367
\n00:21:09,320 –> 00:21:12,760
\ndaughter of Jerusalem.
\nSo there’s one of those passages<\/p>\n

368
\n00:21:12,760 –> 00:21:15,760
\nthat tells us.
\nThe Kingdom that is coming, and <\/p>\n

369
\n00:21:15,760 –> 00:21:19,400
\nthis is a point that’s missed a
\nlot by our friends around us. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:21:19,400 –> 00:21:23,840
\nThe the the alien as as we would
\ncall them in some circles that <\/p>\n

371
\n00:21:23,840 –> 00:21:25,520
\nthe.
\nThe interested friend, perhaps, <\/p>\n

372
\n00:21:25,760 –> 00:21:27,720
\nbut going past that to the
\nchurch. <\/p>\n

373
\n00:21:28,000 –> 00:21:29,680
\nThe church is the Christian
\ngroups. <\/p>\n

374
\n00:21:29,920 –> 00:21:33,840
\nThey missed this point that the
\nKingdom of God isn’t a new <\/p>\n

375
\n00:21:33,840 –> 00:21:38,120
\nthing, it’s the reinstitution of
\nsomething that existed in the <\/p>\n

376
\n00:21:38,120 –> 00:21:40,920
\npast, he says.
\nWhat’s going to happen that <\/p>\n

377
\n00:21:40,920 –> 00:21:43,480
\nshould point out there?
\nWhat’s going to happen is that <\/p>\n

378
\n00:21:43,480 –> 00:21:46,560
\nthe first dominion is to be
\nrestored. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:21:47,080 –> 00:21:50,800
\nIt’s not a brand new thing, but
\nit’s a restoration of what <\/p>\n

380
\n00:21:50,800 –> 00:21:55,160
\nalready existed.
\nAnd so it is that that idea <\/p>\n

381
\n00:21:55,560 –> 00:21:58,600
\nforms one of the core elements
\nof the gospel. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:21:58,760 –> 00:22:02,480
\nThe good news of what?
\nThe Kingdom of God. <\/p>\n

383
\n00:22:03,080 –> 00:22:06,240
\nAnd so we have that idea laid
\nout for us by the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

384
\n00:22:06,240 –> 00:22:08,480
\nChrist.
\nIt has to do everything with <\/p>\n

385
\n00:22:08,480 –> 00:22:12,720
\nsalvation, both for the Jews.
\nAnd also for the Gentiles, when <\/p>\n

386
\n00:22:12,720 –> 00:22:17,280
\nhe’s at Shechem or Cycar as it’s
\ncalled in that John chapter 4 <\/p>\n

387
\n00:22:17,280 –> 00:22:20,560
\nand verse 22, the woman you know
\nsays, well, we worship in this <\/p>\n

388
\n00:22:20,560 –> 00:22:22,160
\nmountain, You worship in this
\nmountain. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:22:22,160 –> 00:22:24,560
\nWhat’s it all about?
\nAnd he says, listen, you <\/p>\n

390
\n00:22:24,560 –> 00:22:28,320
\nworship, you know not what we
\nknow, what we worship, he says. <\/p>\n

391
\n00:22:28,320 –> 00:22:33,520
\nFor salvation is of the Jews.
\nAnd that’s the other point we <\/p>\n

392
\n00:22:33,520 –> 00:22:37,320
\nwant to really hook on to,
\nbecause that’s the Lord telling <\/p>\n

393
\n00:22:37,320 –> 00:22:39,320
\nus that this is the New
\nTestament. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:22:39,720 –> 00:22:43,480
\nHe’s now on the scene and he
\nsays this isn’t something new, <\/p>\n

395
\n00:22:43,680 –> 00:22:47,320
\nwhereby salvation now is moved
\non to the Gentiles and the Jews.<\/p>\n

396
\n00:22:47,560 –> 00:22:49,960
\nYou you’re basically done,
\nyou’ve got nothing anymore. <\/p>\n

397
\n00:22:49,960 –> 00:22:52,440
\nYou’re you’re no longer involved
\nin this, he says. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:22:52,440 –> 00:22:55,760
\nLook, salvation is.
\nOf the Jews. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:22:56,040 –> 00:23:01,080
\nSo mankind salvation, whether
\nJew or Gentile, is wrapped up in<\/p>\n

400
\n00:23:01,080 –> 00:23:03,080
\nthe salvation of the Jews.
\nAnd that’s what we hope to <\/p>\n

401
\n00:23:03,080 –> 00:23:06,000
\nfollow through today and and
\ntomorrow morning. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:23:06,000 –> 00:23:08,120
\nSee.
\nHow that is going to take place?<\/p>\n

403
\n00:23:09,200 –> 00:23:13,600
\nNow Christ linked the hope that
\nwe have with the hope of Israel,<\/p>\n

404
\n00:23:14,080 –> 00:23:17,240
\nand the apostle Paul does the
\nsame thing for us in Hebrews <\/p>\n

405
\n00:23:17,240 –> 00:23:21,320
\nChapter 11, describing the
\nfaithful who had died in verse <\/p>\n

406
\n00:23:21,320 –> 00:23:24,680
\n13.
\nHe said these all died in faith,<\/p>\n

407
\n00:23:25,120 –> 00:23:27,360
\nnot having received the
\npromises. <\/p>\n

408
\n00:23:27,360 –> 00:23:30,960
\nAs we already read from
\nStephen’s great speech he gave <\/p>\n

409
\n00:23:30,960 –> 00:23:33,200
\nin Acts Chapter 7, they died in
\nfaith. <\/p>\n

410
\n00:23:33,200 –> 00:23:37,240
\nAbraham had not so much as to
\nset his foot on, but he says, <\/p>\n

411
\n00:23:37,880 –> 00:23:40,800
\nhaving been seen, these promises
\nare far off. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:23:40,800 –> 00:23:44,800
\nThey were persuaded of them and
\nthey embraced and confessed that<\/p>\n

413
\n00:23:44,800 –> 00:23:47,240
\nthey were strangers and pilgrims
\non the earth. <\/p>\n

414
\n00:23:47,880 –> 00:23:51,880
\nNow he goes on to say in verse
\n14, as we just actually just <\/p>\n

415
\n00:23:51,880 –> 00:23:56,120
\nturn this up for a moment,
\nHebrews Chapter 11 and the 40th <\/p>\n

416
\n00:23:56,120 –> 00:23:59,240
\nverse.
\nHe tells us there that these <\/p>\n

417
\n00:23:59,240 –> 00:24:02,960
\nthings are extended out, the
\nreason why they’ve died in faith<\/p>\n

418
\n00:24:02,960 –> 00:24:04,720
\nand they haven’t received the
\npromises. <\/p>\n

419
\n00:24:05,080 –> 00:24:07,480
\nAnd this is time is still going
\non. <\/p>\n

420
\n00:24:07,720 –> 00:24:11,440
\nThe reason why we’re here today
\nand not already gathered <\/p>\n

421
\n00:24:11,440 –> 00:24:15,160
\ntogether to to the Lord Jesus
\nChrist is given to us in Hebrews<\/p>\n

422
\n00:24:15,160 –> 00:24:20,960
\nChapter 11 in the 40th verse.
\nHe tells us there that God has <\/p>\n

423
\n00:24:20,960 –> 00:24:25,880
\nprovided some better thing for
\nus, that they without us should <\/p>\n

424
\n00:24:25,880 –> 00:24:29,400
\nnot be made perfect.
\nSo the reason this has happened <\/p>\n

425
\n00:24:29,400 –> 00:24:32,880
\nis for you and I and for all
\nthose generations that have <\/p>\n

426
\n00:24:32,880 –> 00:24:35,880
\nexisted since these faithful
\npeople walked upon the face of <\/p>\n

427
\n00:24:35,880 –> 00:24:40,840
\nthe earth, so that we also would
\nhave the opportunity to come to <\/p>\n

428
\n00:24:40,840 –> 00:24:44,400
\na knowledge of the truth, to
\ngrab onto that, to accept that, <\/p>\n

429
\n00:24:44,400 –> 00:24:46,160
\nand to live our lives in
\naccordance. <\/p>\n

430
\n00:24:46,560 –> 00:24:50,560
\nWe have the possibility to do
\nthat, and it’s up to you and I <\/p>\n

431
\n00:24:50,600 –> 00:24:52,880
\nindividually to make that
\nchoice. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:24:53,080 –> 00:24:57,000
\nBut that is the grace of God,
\nand it’s tied into his purpose <\/p>\n

433
\n00:24:57,000 –> 00:25:00,520
\nto fill the earth with the
\nknowledge of the glory of the <\/p>\n

434
\n00:25:00,520 –> 00:25:02,240
\nLord as the waters cover the
\nsea. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:25:02,720 –> 00:25:06,120
\nThat’s the whole idea, the the,
\nthe knowledge of his glory. <\/p>\n

436
\n00:25:06,120 –> 00:25:09,800
\nWe think Moses says, well, you
\nknow, God, show me your glory, <\/p>\n

437
\n00:25:10,400 –> 00:25:13,400
\nshow me your ways that I may
\nknow you back in Exodus 33. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:25:13,400 –> 00:25:16,000
\nAnd God turns around in chapter
\n34, and he says, all right, I’ll<\/p>\n

439
\n00:25:16,000 –> 00:25:18,360
\nshow you my glory, I’ll show you
\nmy ways. <\/p>\n

440
\n00:25:18,600 –> 00:25:23,160
\nAnd he tells him his character.
\nSo what God’s looking for <\/p>\n

441
\n00:25:23,160 –> 00:25:26,840
\nHabakkuk 214 is to fill the
\nearth with the knowledge, the <\/p>\n

442
\n00:25:26,840 –> 00:25:28,680
\nyadah, which is what the word
\nmeans. <\/p>\n

443
\n00:25:28,680 –> 00:25:32,360
\nThe knowledge by experience.
\nNot just head knowledge, but an <\/p>\n

444
\n00:25:32,360 –> 00:25:34,600
\nunderstanding that comes from
\nliving a life. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:25:35,320 –> 00:25:37,720
\nThe knowledge of experience of
\nthe. <\/p>\n

446
\n00:25:37,720 –> 00:25:42,680
\nCharacteristics The glory of God
\nas the waters cover the sea, and<\/p>\n

447
\n00:25:42,680 –> 00:25:45,640
\nthat’s our.
\nOpportunity today is to develop <\/p>\n

448
\n00:25:45,640 –> 00:25:49,160
\nthat in ourselves, in our
\nchildren, in our families and in<\/p>\n

449
\n00:25:49,160 –> 00:25:51,520
\nour colleges.
\nWe have an opportunity to do <\/p>\n

450
\n00:25:51,520 –> 00:25:53,560
\nthat.
\nIt’s running out the night as <\/p>\n

451
\n00:25:53,560 –> 00:25:56,600
\nfar as spend the day is at hand,
\nbut right now we have that <\/p>\n

452
\n00:25:56,600 –> 00:25:57,680
\nopportunity.
\nTo do that. <\/p>\n

453
\n00:25:57,880 –> 00:25:59,600
\nAnd we want to seize upon these
\nthings. <\/p>\n

454
\n00:26:00,480 –> 00:26:04,680
\nSo we have in Acts chapter One
\nthe same ideas brought forward <\/p>\n

455
\n00:26:04,680 –> 00:26:07,080
\nto us.
\nThe disciples now are looking <\/p>\n

456
\n00:26:07,080 –> 00:26:09,160
\nforward to the return of the
\nLord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:26:09,760 –> 00:26:12,520
\nIn Acts chapter one and verse
\nsix they asked him when they’re <\/p>\n

458
\n00:26:12,520 –> 00:26:16,360
\ngathered together, just prior to
\nthem going out to Bethany or to <\/p>\n

459
\n00:26:16,440 –> 00:26:19,320
\nthe man of olives to be taken
\nLord Jesus Christ to be taken to<\/p>\n

460
\n00:26:19,320 –> 00:26:21,920
\nheaven.
\nAnd he says in verse 6, where <\/p>\n

461
\n00:26:21,920 –> 00:26:23,040
\ntherefore they would come
\ntogether. <\/p>\n

462
\n00:26:23,040 –> 00:26:27,640
\nThey asked him, saying, Lord,
\nwilt thou at this time restore <\/p>\n

463
\n00:26:27,640 –> 00:26:29,320
\nthe Kingdom to Israel?
\nAre you? <\/p>\n

464
\n00:26:29,320 –> 00:26:32,600
\nGoing to do it now.
\nSo they were right in their <\/p>\n

465
\n00:26:32,600 –> 00:26:34,760
\nunderstanding, but wrong in
\ntheir application. <\/p>\n

466
\n00:26:34,760 –> 00:26:37,160
\nOf the time period.
\nAnd he said to them, you know, <\/p>\n

467
\n00:26:37,160 –> 00:26:40,320
\nit’s not for you to know the
\ntimes and the seasons which the <\/p>\n

468
\n00:26:40,320 –> 00:26:42,240
\nFather hath put in his own
\npower. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:26:42,880 –> 00:26:44,960
\nAnd quite often we stop there.
\nWell, it’s not for us to know <\/p>\n

470
\n00:26:44,960 –> 00:26:47,360
\ntimes and seasons.
\nTherefore, let’s not concern <\/p>\n

471
\n00:26:47,360 –> 00:26:49,760
\nourselves with that kind of
\nthing, except we missed the next<\/p>\n

472
\n00:26:49,760 –> 00:26:54,240
\nlittle word.
\nBut but you shall receive power.<\/p>\n

473
\n00:26:54,240 –> 00:26:58,080
\nPower to do what?
\nWell, power to understand the <\/p>\n

474
\n00:26:58,080 –> 00:26:59,560
\ntimes and seasons.
\nPart of it. <\/p>\n

475
\n00:27:00,320 –> 00:27:02,440
\nAnd after that the Holy Spirit
\nhas come upon you, because of <\/p>\n

476
\n00:27:02,440 –> 00:27:05,800
\ncourse it would be the Apostle
\nPaul by inspiration, who wrote <\/p>\n

477
\n00:27:05,800 –> 00:27:08,600
\nSecond Thessalonians 2 and told
\nus that day will not come except<\/p>\n

478
\n00:27:08,600 –> 00:27:11,320
\nto come, the falling away 1st
\nand gives us the time and the <\/p>\n

479
\n00:27:11,320 –> 00:27:13,520
\nseason.
\nIt’s the Apostle John, under <\/p>\n

480
\n00:27:13,520 –> 00:27:16,680
\ninspiration, who writes the book
\nof our records. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:27:16,680 –> 00:27:18,920
\nThe book, I guess you could say,
\nof Revelation, where the Lord <\/p>\n

482
\n00:27:18,920 –> 00:27:22,920
\nJesus Christ sent and signified
\nit by his Angel to his servant <\/p>\n

483
\n00:27:22,920 –> 00:27:27,080
\nJohn.
\nTo show him and all of us things<\/p>\n

484
\n00:27:27,080 –> 00:27:31,040
\nshortly to come to pass,
\nculminating with the return of <\/p>\n

485
\n00:27:31,040 –> 00:27:33,600
\nChrist.
\nSo we do have guidelines, the <\/p>\n

486
\n00:27:33,600 –> 00:27:36,160
\ntime and the seasons.
\nNow, we don’t know the day and <\/p>\n

487
\n00:27:36,160 –> 00:27:39,120
\nthe hour, and that’s
\norchestrated that way on <\/p>\n

488
\n00:27:39,120 –> 00:27:42,000
\npurpose, but we do know the
\ntimes and the seasons. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:27:42,000 –> 00:27:45,960
\nWe’ve been given an idea and of
\ncourse we know the very end of <\/p>\n

490
\n00:27:45,960 –> 00:27:47,400
\nthat.
\nWe had a Bible. <\/p>\n

491
\n00:27:47,400 –> 00:27:51,080
\nSeminar a few years ago in
\nBrantford in our workplace and <\/p>\n

492
\n00:27:51,080 –> 00:27:54,920
\nthere was about 10 or actually
\n10 or 20. <\/p>\n

493
\n00:27:54,920 –> 00:27:57,600
\nI think it was this time.
\nIndividuals gathered together <\/p>\n

494
\n00:27:57,600 –> 00:27:59,880
\nand we went through the seminar
\nand it was a little bit <\/p>\n

495
\n00:27:59,880 –> 00:28:01,600
\ndifferent because they invited
\nus to do it. <\/p>\n

496
\n00:28:01,760 –> 00:28:05,120
\nSo we were at work and I had a
\nbrochure we were going to print.<\/p>\n

497
\n00:28:05,120 –> 00:28:08,320
\nI’m a printer, so working in a
\nprinting company, one of the <\/p>\n

498
\n00:28:08,320 –> 00:28:10,720
\ncolleagues in Detroit came to us
\nand said we’d like you to print <\/p>\n

499
\n00:28:10,720 –> 00:28:13,320
\nthese brochures.
\nSo we said sure we can print the<\/p>\n

500
\n00:28:13,320 –> 00:28:15,840
\nbrochures for you and Bible
\nseminars. <\/p>\n

501
\n00:28:16,320 –> 00:28:19,600
\nWe’ve done a full color version
\nof the one that Brother Randy <\/p>\n

502
\n00:28:19,600 –> 00:28:23,200
\nand Brother Dave had done.
\nAnd so they asked for that one <\/p>\n

503
\n00:28:23,200 –> 00:28:25,400
\nand I just said, well, send me
\nthe information who you want and<\/p>\n

504
\n00:28:25,400 –> 00:28:27,480
\nwhatever else.
\nWe’ll stick them on the Backpage<\/p>\n

505
\n00:28:27,720 –> 00:28:29,720
\nand the dates and the times, and
\nwe’ll print your seminar <\/p>\n

506
\n00:28:29,720 –> 00:28:33,520
\nbrochure and away we’ll go.
\nAnd when you’re in printing, <\/p>\n

507
\n00:28:33,520 –> 00:28:35,320
\nthey like.
\nTo have a sample, you know the <\/p>\n

508
\n00:28:35,320 –> 00:28:38,040
\nguy running the press wants to
\nknow, well, how much blue should<\/p>\n

509
\n00:28:38,080 –> 00:28:40,440
\nI put on this page?
\nHow high do I turn up my colors <\/p>\n

510
\n00:28:40,840 –> 00:28:43,360
\nso you always throw in a sample
\nso they can match it to a <\/p>\n

511
\n00:28:43,360 –> 00:28:45,840
\npreviously printed job so that
\neverybody doesn’t sort? <\/p>\n

512
\n00:28:45,840 –> 00:28:48,360
\nOf turn blue or green or
\nwhatever it is when they’re <\/p>\n

513
\n00:28:48,360 –> 00:28:50,840
\nprinting it.
\nSo I just, not even thinking, <\/p>\n

514
\n00:28:50,840 –> 00:28:53,160
\ngrabbed a sample, threw it in
\nthe bag and there’s me on the <\/p>\n

515
\n00:28:53,160 –> 00:28:56,160
\nbackside of it doing the seminar
\nin London with my father-in-law.<\/p>\n

516
\n00:28:56,720 –> 00:28:59,960
\nAnd so this went through the
\nshop and basically it got back <\/p>\n

517
\n00:28:59,960 –> 00:29:02,880
\nto the owner’s.
\nKids that, you know, we’ve done <\/p>\n

518
\n00:29:02,880 –> 00:29:04,880
\nthis Bible seminar.
\nWe had a few conversations <\/p>\n

519
\n00:29:04,880 –> 00:29:08,200
\nbefore and so they came to us
\nand said, you know, we’d really <\/p>\n

520
\n00:29:08,200 –> 00:29:10,720
\nlike to do this Bible seminar
\nfor us at work. <\/p>\n

521
\n00:29:11,280 –> 00:29:13,520
\nAnd so we’re kind of like.
\nOh, all right. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:29:13,960 –> 00:29:17,920
\nSo we got together and we did
\nthe Bible seminar for them and <\/p>\n

523
\n00:29:17,920 –> 00:29:19,440
\nof course them inviting us to do
\nit. <\/p>\n

524
\n00:29:19,440 –> 00:29:21,440
\nYou can’t really well tell them,
\nwell, this, you know, we’re not <\/p>\n

525
\n00:29:21,440 –> 00:29:23,400
\ngoing to allow you to ask any
\nquestions. <\/p>\n

526
\n00:29:24,040 –> 00:29:26,800
\nI mean, they invited us, right?
\nSo we can’t write the rules. <\/p>\n

527
\n00:29:27,240 –> 00:29:30,960
\nSo the six week seminar took ten
\nweeks to do and we got to the <\/p>\n

528
\n00:29:30,960 –> 00:29:32,840
\nend of it and we said, well,
\nwhat would you like to do next? <\/p>\n

529
\n00:29:33,160 –> 00:29:35,480
\nWe’ve got a Genesis seminar,
\nThere’s a Bible prophecy <\/p>\n

530
\n00:29:35,480 –> 00:29:36,840
\nseminar.
\nThere’s a Luke seminar. <\/p>\n

531
\n00:29:36,840 –> 00:29:41,240
\nWhat would you like to do?
\nAnd they said, well, you have <\/p>\n

532
\n00:29:41,240 –> 00:29:46,800
\nthat 7000 year plan chart thing.
\nOf, you know, it was one of the <\/p>\n

533
\n00:29:46,800 –> 00:29:48,560
\noverheads.
\nSo we went through this big raft<\/p>\n

534
\n00:29:48,560 –> 00:29:50,360
\nof overheads.
\nThis is before the days of <\/p>\n

535
\n00:29:50,360 –> 00:29:52,960
\ncomputer clicking and whatever
\nyou had to go through this. <\/p>\n

536
\n00:29:52,960 –> 00:29:56,080
\nAnd I pulled it out, put it on
\nthe screen, and the one <\/p>\n

537
\n00:29:56,080 –> 00:29:59,440
\nindividual sitting there says,
\nyou know, looking at that, we <\/p>\n

538
\n00:29:59,440 –> 00:30:02,800
\nreally don’t have time to do the
\nNational Geographic. <\/p>\n

539
\n00:30:02,840 –> 00:30:06,320
\nTour of the Bible.
\nWe should be getting baptized <\/p>\n

540
\n00:30:06,560 –> 00:30:08,880
\nbecause looks like Christ coming
\npretty soon. <\/p>\n

541
\n00:30:09,240 –> 00:30:14,280
\nAnd we got to get on with this.
\nSo we said OK, and we began <\/p>\n

542
\n00:30:14,280 –> 00:30:16,560
\nbaptism classes.
\nAnd incidentally, out of that <\/p>\n

543
\n00:30:16,560 –> 00:30:19,120
\ngroup, I believe there’s 11 now
\nthat are baptized. <\/p>\n

544
\n00:30:19,640 –> 00:30:24,400
\nAnd so that’s people outside in
\nthe world who basically came to <\/p>\n

545
\n00:30:24,400 –> 00:30:27,160
\nthe classes.
\nYou lay out the facts of this is<\/p>\n

546
\n00:30:27,160 –> 00:30:29,600
\nwhat God has said, this is the
\npatterns laid down. <\/p>\n

547
\n00:30:30,160 –> 00:30:33,880
\nAnd they look at it and they
\nsay, oh, the Lord Jesus Christ <\/p>\n

548
\n00:30:33,880 –> 00:30:38,000
\nis just about here.
\nWe live in the time and the <\/p>\n

549
\n00:30:38,000 –> 00:30:40,200
\nseason.
\nAnd brothers, sisters and young <\/p>\n

550
\n00:30:40,200 –> 00:30:43,480
\npeople, let’s not lose sight of
\nthat. <\/p>\n

551
\n00:30:43,920 –> 00:30:46,240
\nWe can become sometimes a little
\ncomplacent. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:30:46,680 –> 00:30:49,680
\nWe can become a little wrapped
\nup in our lives around us and we<\/p>\n

553
\n00:30:49,680 –> 00:30:53,920
\ncan lose the clarity of sight
\nand vision that perhaps those <\/p>\n

554
\n00:30:53,920 –> 00:30:56,120
\nwho come in from the outside.
\nLook at us sometimes, think what<\/p>\n

555
\n00:30:56,120 –> 00:30:58,000
\nis with these people?
\nYou know, they know all this <\/p>\n

556
\n00:30:58,000 –> 00:30:59,160
\nstuff.
\nWhy are they doing this, That <\/p>\n

557
\n00:30:59,160 –> 00:31:01,680
\nand the other.
\nLet’s not lose a hold of that <\/p>\n

558
\n00:31:01,680 –> 00:31:04,720
\nclearness of vision.
\nWe’d like the disciples and live<\/p>\n

559
\n00:31:04,720 –> 00:31:08,760
\nin expectation because we do
\nknow that we live in the day and<\/p>\n

560
\n00:31:08,760 –> 00:31:11,400
\nthe hour.
\nSo they went around and they <\/p>\n

561
\n00:31:11,400 –> 00:31:14,800
\npreached.
\nUnderstanding these things, they<\/p>\n

562
\n00:31:14,800 –> 00:31:17,400
\npersuaded the things concerning
\nthe. <\/p>\n

563
\n00:31:17,440 –> 00:31:21,640
\nKingdom of God they were looking
\nfor and teaching about the <\/p>\n

564
\n00:31:21,640 –> 00:31:23,720
\nrestoration that they’d asked
\nChrist about. <\/p>\n

565
\n00:31:24,200 –> 00:31:27,440
\nAnd so it is that the Apostle
\nPaul states his his attitude <\/p>\n

566
\n00:31:27,440 –> 00:31:30,560
\ntowards Israel.
\nIn this he says I am great <\/p>\n

567
\n00:31:30,560 –> 00:31:34,000
\nheaviness and continual sorrow
\nand heart, for I could wish that<\/p>\n

568
\n00:31:34,000 –> 00:31:37,600
\nmyself were accursed from Christ
\nfor my brethren and kinsmen <\/p>\n

569
\n00:31:37,600 –> 00:31:40,400
\naccording to the flesh, who are
\nIsraelites. <\/p>\n

570
\n00:31:41,040 –> 00:31:44,840
\nHe says I could wish myself
\nwritten out of the hope because <\/p>\n

571
\n00:31:44,840 –> 00:31:48,040
\nof the Israelites, the Jews.
\nThat was his feeling towards <\/p>\n

572
\n00:31:48,040 –> 00:31:52,640
\nthem, because he recognized and
\nbelieved wholeheartedly in those<\/p>\n

573
\n00:31:52,640 –> 00:31:57,760
\npromises to Abraham.
\nAnd so it is in Acts chapter 26 <\/p>\n

574
\n00:31:57,760 –> 00:32:00,640
\nand verse 6.
\nWhen he’s called before the <\/p>\n

575
\n00:32:00,640 –> 00:32:04,280
\ndifferent authorities before
\nAgrippa, he says, Now I stand <\/p>\n

576
\n00:32:04,280 –> 00:32:07,080
\nand I’m judged for the hope of
\nthe promise made of God to our <\/p>\n

577
\n00:32:07,080 –> 00:32:11,840
\nfathers, unto which promise the
\n12 tribes instantly serving God <\/p>\n

578
\n00:32:11,840 –> 00:32:15,640
\nday and night, hope to come, for
\nwhich hope’s sake, King Agrippa,<\/p>\n

579
\n00:32:15,640 –> 00:32:19,240
\nI am accused of these Jews that
\nhe loved and wanted to save. <\/p>\n

580
\n00:32:19,880 –> 00:32:24,080
\nAnd so there he was basically
\nsaying that that’s why I’m on <\/p>\n

581
\n00:32:24,080 –> 00:32:26,600
\ntrial here.
\nHe’s not on trial because he <\/p>\n

582
\n00:32:26,600 –> 00:32:30,000
\ndidn’t believe in the Trinity.
\nHe’s not on trial because he had<\/p>\n

583
\n00:32:30,000 –> 00:32:31,280
\na different view on the
\natonement. <\/p>\n

584
\n00:32:31,920 –> 00:32:35,440
\nHe’s not on trial because he had
\nideas on the devil. <\/p>\n

585
\n00:32:35,440 –> 00:32:37,640
\nHe’s on trial because he
\nbelieves in the hope of Israel. <\/p>\n

586
\n00:32:38,160 –> 00:32:41,160
\nThat was the nod.
\nThat was the core of the <\/p>\n

587
\n00:32:41,160 –> 00:32:44,440
\ndoctrine that was basically held
\nat this point in time. <\/p>\n

588
\n00:32:44,760 –> 00:32:47,960
\nAnd he goes on to say in Acts
\nchapter 28 in verse 20. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:32:48,480 –> 00:32:52,400
\nFor this cause, therefore have I
\ncalled for you to see you, to <\/p>\n

590
\n00:32:52,400 –> 00:32:56,800
\nspeak with you, because for the
\nhope of Israel, he says, I am <\/p>\n

591
\n00:32:56,800 –> 00:33:00,120
\nbound with this chain.
\nAnd of course we know this is <\/p>\n

592
\n00:33:00,120 –> 00:33:03,640
\nthe gospel that was spoken to
\nthem, that they went out and <\/p>\n

593
\n00:33:03,640 –> 00:33:06,240
\npreached to others and is
\nrecorded in the letters that <\/p>\n

594
\n00:33:06,240 –> 00:33:09,400
\nthey wrote when we come to
\nGalatians Chapter 3. <\/p>\n

595
\n00:33:09,680 –> 00:33:12,960
\nIn his letter to the Galatians,
\nthe Apostle Paul draws the <\/p>\n

596
\n00:33:12,960 –> 00:33:17,200
\nconnection between the Lord
\nJesus Christ and Abraham and how<\/p>\n

597
\n00:33:17,200 –> 00:33:19,760
\nthat that hope is 1 and the same
\nthing. <\/p>\n

598
\n00:33:20,240 –> 00:33:23,480
\nHe tells us that we are all the
\nchildren of God by faith in <\/p>\n

599
\n00:33:23,480 –> 00:33:26,360
\nChrist Jesus.
\nThat’s the qualifier. <\/p>\n

600
\n00:33:26,720 –> 00:33:30,360
\nAnd as many of you as have been
\nbaptized into Christ, have put <\/p>\n

601
\n00:33:30,360 –> 00:33:32,640
\non Christ.
\nIt doesn’t matter where we come <\/p>\n

602
\n00:33:32,640 –> 00:33:37,080
\nfrom, Jew or Greek bond or free,
\nmale or female, we’re all one in<\/p>\n

603
\n00:33:37,080 –> 00:33:40,920
\nChrist Jesus.
\nAnd if you be Christ’s, then are<\/p>\n

604
\n00:33:40,920 –> 00:33:45,000
\nyou Abraham’s seed and?
\nHeirs according to those <\/p>\n

605
\n00:33:45,000 –> 00:33:48,360
\npromises.
\nAnd so it was that based on an <\/p>\n

606
\n00:33:48,360 –> 00:33:51,160
\nunderstanding of those passages
\nthat we’ve just kind of <\/p>\n

607
\n00:33:51,160 –> 00:33:53,920
\nhighlighted and a wealth more
\nof. <\/p>\n

608
\n00:33:53,920 –> 00:33:56,920
\nThem than when the
\nChristadelphian movement began <\/p>\n

609
\n00:33:57,200 –> 00:34:00,160
\nback with our brother Thomas the
\nfirst book of note. <\/p>\n

610
\n00:34:00,520 –> 00:34:02,080
\nNot the first book.
\nThere were other things were <\/p>\n

611
\n00:34:02,080 –> 00:34:04,640
\nwritten, but the first real
\nthing where everything was <\/p>\n

612
\n00:34:04,640 –> 00:34:10,280
\npulled together and tied in.
\nHe entitled it Alpas Israel, The<\/p>\n

613
\n00:34:10,280 –> 00:34:15,600
\nHope of Israel, An exposition of
\nthe Kingdom of God with <\/p>\n

614
\n00:34:15,600 –> 00:34:19,360
\nreference to the time of the end
\nand the age to come. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:34:19,600 –> 00:34:22,239
\nThat’s where we as a community
\nbegan. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:34:22,560 –> 00:34:25,920
\nThat was the seeds of
\ndevelopment that has resulted in<\/p>\n

617
\n00:34:25,920 –> 00:34:29,320
\nthe community that’s here today,
\n18148. <\/p>\n

618
\n00:34:30,520 –> 00:34:35,040
\nNow Brother Thomas had this to
\nsay in Alphas Israel, he says <\/p>\n

619
\n00:34:35,040 –> 00:34:37,880
\nNow.
\nWho can be so dim a vision as <\/p>\n

620
\n00:34:37,880 –> 00:34:41,040
\nnot to perceive that the subject
\nmatter of the hope of Israel? <\/p>\n

621
\n00:34:41,080 –> 00:34:44,360
\nIs the Kingdom of God.
\nThey’re one and the same thing. <\/p>\n

622
\n00:34:44,360 –> 00:34:48,440
\nYou can’t separate them and
\ndivide them away to observe that<\/p>\n

623
\n00:34:48,440 –> 00:34:51,679
\nin giving this thought of
\nnational hope, his thoughts of <\/p>\n

624
\n00:34:51,679 –> 00:34:55,400
\nnational hope, the apostles
\npersuasion turned upon things <\/p>\n

625
\n00:34:56,199 –> 00:35:00,000
\nupon things concerning Jesus.
\nThe Kingdom of God and Jesus <\/p>\n

626
\n00:35:00,000 –> 00:35:03,760
\nwere the subjects of Paul’s
\ntestimony when he preached the <\/p>\n

627
\n00:35:03,760 –> 00:35:06,840
\nhope of Israel, or the hope of
\nthe promise made unto the <\/p>\n

628
\n00:35:06,840 –> 00:35:08,920
\nfathers of God made unto the
\nfathers. <\/p>\n

629
\n00:35:09,520 –> 00:35:11,480
\nSo he links the two things
\ntogether. <\/p>\n

630
\n00:35:11,560 –> 00:35:12,880
\nThey’re one and the same, he
\nsays. <\/p>\n

631
\n00:35:12,880 –> 00:35:16,200
\nYou can’t divide them, you can’t
\nseparate them. <\/p>\n

632
\n00:35:16,520 –> 00:35:18,360
\nThat’s what it’s all about.
\nNow. <\/p>\n

633
\n00:35:18,400 –> 00:35:21,600
\nBrother Roberts continuing this
\nidea and christened him astray. <\/p>\n

634
\n00:35:21,720 –> 00:35:23,960
\nHe writes 4 lectures on it.
\nFour. <\/p>\n

635
\n00:35:24,240 –> 00:35:26,600
\nThat’s a significant amount of
\nnumbers in that book. <\/p>\n

636
\n00:35:27,320 –> 00:35:30,000
\nAnd he says, on no subject will
\nChristendom have found to be <\/p>\n

637
\n00:35:30,000 –> 00:35:33,080
\ngone more astray than the
\nsubject of the Kingdom of God, a<\/p>\n

638
\n00:35:33,080 –> 00:35:36,320
\nsubject which, without
\nexaggeration, may be said to <\/p>\n

639
\n00:35:36,320 –> 00:35:40,920
\nconstitute the very backbone of
\nthe divine purpose of the earth <\/p>\n

640
\n00:35:40,960 –> 00:35:44,000
\nand its inhabitants.
\nSo that’s the whole idea, he <\/p>\n

641
\n00:35:44,000 –> 00:35:46,680
\nsays.
\nIt’s the core and the backbone <\/p>\n

642
\n00:35:46,720 –> 00:35:48,640
\ninto it.
\nEverything else. <\/p>\n

643
\n00:35:48,880 –> 00:35:54,520
\nTies in all other aspects are
\nhooked into this hope of Israel.<\/p>\n

644
\n00:35:55,040 –> 00:36:00,240
\nAnd he goes on to say that the
\ntruth as it is in Christ Jesus, <\/p>\n

645
\n00:36:00,840 –> 00:36:04,680
\nand therefore tied to Abraham,
\nand this hope of Israel, is <\/p>\n

646
\n00:36:04,680 –> 00:36:07,320
\nsomething that unfortunately the
\nworld around us doesn’t <\/p>\n

647
\n00:36:07,320 –> 00:36:10,080
\nunderstand.
\nThe ministers in the clergy of <\/p>\n

648
\n00:36:10,080 –> 00:36:13,520
\nthe present day believe that
\nthey preach the gospel in <\/p>\n

649
\n00:36:13,520 –> 00:36:15,640
\nsetting before people the death
\nof Christ. <\/p>\n

650
\n00:36:16,160 –> 00:36:19,320
\nWell, he says, the death of
\nChrist in its sacrificial import<\/p>\n

651
\n00:36:19,320 –> 00:36:23,600
\ndoubtless becomes an element of
\nthe Apostolic testimony of the <\/p>\n

652
\n00:36:23,600 –> 00:36:26,160
\ngospel.
\nBut in considering whether it <\/p>\n

653
\n00:36:26,160 –> 00:36:29,600
\nwas the whole gospel of the 1st
\ncentury preaching, we must <\/p>\n

654
\n00:36:29,600 –> 00:36:32,520
\nremember that Christ and his
\ndisciples preached the gospel <\/p>\n

655
\n00:36:33,320 –> 00:36:36,360
\nthree years before the
\ncrucifixion. <\/p>\n

656
\n00:36:36,360 –> 00:36:39,600
\nNow that’s an interesting point,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n

657
\n00:36:39,600 –> 00:36:41,120
\nIt’s an interesting point.
\nToday. <\/p>\n

658
\n00:36:41,960 –> 00:36:45,520
\nBecause as a community, we have
\nto be careful that we don’t <\/p>\n

659
\n00:36:45,520 –> 00:36:48,360
\nbecome engrossed in
\ncontroversies that go on. <\/p>\n

660
\n00:36:48,920 –> 00:36:50,400
\nAnd we have them from time to
\ntime. <\/p>\n

661
\n00:36:50,400 –> 00:36:52,440
\nI mean, you can just basically
\nset out a map to <\/p>\n

662
\n00:36:52,440 –> 00:36:54,280
\nChristadelphians.
\nAnd there was this issue and <\/p>\n

663
\n00:36:54,280 –> 00:36:55,800
\nthat issue and this issue and
\nthat issue. <\/p>\n

664
\n00:36:55,800 –> 00:36:57,960
\nAnd we have these little battles
\nwe get into. <\/p>\n

665
\n00:36:57,960 –> 00:37:01,200
\nYou’re not saying anything about
\nthe rights and wrongs of the <\/p>\n

666
\n00:37:01,200 –> 00:37:03,120
\nbattles.
\nBut the point is, while that’s <\/p>\n

667
\n00:37:03,120 –> 00:37:07,360
\nall going on, we have to be very
\ncareful that we don’t become <\/p>\n

668
\n00:37:07,360 –> 00:37:12,400
\nlike the clergy and the truth
\nbecomes simply the sacrifice of <\/p>\n

669
\n00:37:12,400 –> 00:37:14,520
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ.
\nAnd that’s it. <\/p>\n

670
\n00:37:15,400 –> 00:37:19,600
\nAnd depending on that specific
\nissue is the only thing that we <\/p>\n

671
\n00:37:19,600 –> 00:37:21,960
\nlook at.
\nBecause for the Roberts here at <\/p>\n

672
\n00:37:21,960 –> 00:37:25,680
\nthe very beginning says that’s a
\npiece, that’s not the whole <\/p>\n

673
\n00:37:25,680 –> 00:37:28,680
\nthing.
\nIt’s necessary, but it’s not the<\/p>\n

674
\n00:37:28,680 –> 00:37:32,320
\ncore.
\nIt’s an ends to a means to an <\/p>\n

675
\n00:37:32,320 –> 00:37:34,800
\nends.
\nReally, God manifestation, not <\/p>\n

676
\n00:37:34,800 –> 00:37:37,760
\nhuman salvation, was the grand
\npurpose of the eternal spirit, <\/p>\n

677
\n00:37:38,600 –> 00:37:42,600
\nfilling the earth with people
\nwho basically reflected that <\/p>\n

678
\n00:37:42,600 –> 00:37:45,960
\ncharacter in the way he has
\npointed out through Abraham and <\/p>\n

679
\n00:37:45,960 –> 00:37:50,000
\nthose promises.
\nThat’s the purpose it’s achieved<\/p>\n

680
\n00:37:50,000 –> 00:37:52,240
\nthrough the sacrifice of the
\nLord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

681
\n00:37:52,520 –> 00:37:55,600
\nBut that’s not the whole gospel.
\nAnd if we get to that point, but<\/p>\n

682
\n00:37:55,600 –> 00:37:58,240
\nthat’s all we talk about.
\nThat’s all we think about. <\/p>\n

683
\n00:37:58,840 –> 00:38:02,160
\nThat’s all we argue about.
\nThen we may get to the point <\/p>\n

684
\n00:38:02,160 –> 00:38:04,680
\nthat we’re losing.
\nThe hope of Israel. <\/p>\n

685
\n00:38:05,240 –> 00:38:09,040
\nAnd we’re losing the gospel as
\nit was preached by the Lord <\/p>\n

686
\n00:38:09,040 –> 00:38:13,080
\nJesus Christ and his disciples,
\nas he points out three years <\/p>\n

687
\n00:38:13,080 –> 00:38:14,920
\nbefore they were preaching the
\nKingdom of God. <\/p>\n

688
\n00:38:15,560 –> 00:38:18,760
\nAnd the things concerned, the
\nname of Jesus Christ came after <\/p>\n

689
\n00:38:18,760 –> 00:38:20,520
\nthat.
\nIt’s through that that we <\/p>\n

690
\n00:38:20,520 –> 00:38:25,000
\nachieved the 1st.
\nAnd so he says that as he goes <\/p>\n

691
\n00:38:25,000 –> 00:38:28,720
\non from this that when the Lord
\nJesus Christ established. <\/p>\n

692
\n00:38:28,960 –> 00:38:32,920
\nThe things that he did and
\nopened the way to the Gentiles, <\/p>\n

693
\n00:38:32,920 –> 00:38:37,960
\nhe didn’t replace the gospel and
\nthe way to achieve salvation, he<\/p>\n

694
\n00:38:37,960 –> 00:38:39,440
\nsays.
\nBy opening the way for the <\/p>\n

695
\n00:38:39,440 –> 00:38:43,320
\nadmission of the Gentiles, he
\ndid not destroy the Israelitis <\/p>\n

696
\n00:38:43,320 –> 00:38:46,200
\ncharacter of the hope.
\nThe effect was just the other <\/p>\n

697
\n00:38:46,200 –> 00:38:48,680
\nway.
\nIndeed, Gentiles converted the <\/p>\n

698
\n00:38:48,680 –> 00:38:53,600
\nhope into instead of Gentiles.
\nSorry converting the hope into <\/p>\n

699
\n00:38:53,600 –> 00:38:56,600
\ngentilism by their reception of
\nit. <\/p>\n

700
\n00:38:56,600 –> 00:39:01,680
\nThe Hope converted them into
\nJews and consequently, <\/p>\n

701
\n00:39:01,680 –> 00:39:04,880
\nbasically, he says, they were
\nconformed into the essential <\/p>\n

702
\n00:39:04,880 –> 00:39:08,080
\nIsraelitis character.
\nSo that’s what the hope does. <\/p>\n

703
\n00:39:08,080 –> 00:39:11,120
\nIt takes us from all walks of
\nlife, Doesn’t matter where we <\/p>\n

704
\n00:39:11,120 –> 00:39:14,480
\ncome from, doesn’t matter what
\nrace we are, doesn’t matter what<\/p>\n

705
\n00:39:14,480 –> 00:39:17,200
\nwe’re male or female.
\nAs he says in Galatians, whether<\/p>\n

706
\n00:39:17,200 –> 00:39:20,040
\nwe’re bond or freely or rich or
\npoor, what walk of life we’re <\/p>\n

707
\n00:39:20,040 –> 00:39:24,640
\nfrom, what binds us all together
\nas a group is the fact that in <\/p>\n

708
\n00:39:24,640 –> 00:39:28,160
\nChrist we participate in those
\npromises and consequently we <\/p>\n

709
\n00:39:28,160 –> 00:39:32,520
\nbecome adopted Jews.
\nThat’s who we are now. <\/p>\n

710
\n00:39:32,520 –> 00:39:35,960
\nThe world around us would just
\nshiver at such an idea that, you<\/p>\n

711
\n00:39:35,960 –> 00:39:38,800
\nknow, we as Christians have to
\nbecome Jews. <\/p>\n

712
\n00:39:39,160 –> 00:39:43,760
\nBut that’s the way the truth.
\nOf the matter is laid out now in<\/p>\n

713
\n00:39:43,760 –> 00:39:46,720
\nRomans, he talks about the
\nfuture establishment. <\/p>\n

714
\n00:39:46,720 –> 00:39:50,240
\nThis is the Apostle Paul now,
\nthe future salvation of Israel. <\/p>\n

715
\n00:39:50,640 –> 00:39:53,160
\nAnd he says that while it’s
\ntouching the gospel right now, <\/p>\n

716
\n00:39:53,160 –> 00:39:54,800
\nhe says they’re enemies for
\nyour. <\/p>\n

717
\n00:39:54,800 –> 00:39:57,480
\nSakes.
\nBut as touching the election, <\/p>\n

718
\n00:39:57,960 –> 00:40:01,960
\nwhat God has chosen out, They
\nare beloved for the Father’s <\/p>\n

719
\n00:40:01,960 –> 00:40:05,800
\nsakes, for the gifts and calling
\nof God are without repentance. <\/p>\n

720
\n00:40:05,800 –> 00:40:07,400
\nNow we’ve got to make sure we
\nread that properly. <\/p>\n

721
\n00:40:07,400 –> 00:40:09,520
\nFor years I used to read that
\nBeloved, for the Father’s sake, <\/p>\n

722
\n00:40:09,520 –> 00:40:13,400
\nlet’s talk about God.
\nWell, it’s a plural possessive <\/p>\n

723
\n00:40:13,400 –> 00:40:17,480
\nword, right?
\nIt’s Father’s plural, which is <\/p>\n

724
\n00:40:17,480 –> 00:40:20,960
\nthe patriarchs.
\nThey are beloved because of <\/p>\n

725
\n00:40:20,960 –> 00:40:23,000
\nAbraham, Isaac and Jacob’s
\nSaints. <\/p>\n

726
\n00:40:24,200 –> 00:40:27,600
\nSo he says the gifts and calling
\nof God. <\/p>\n

727
\n00:40:27,600 –> 00:40:30,160
\nOnce God says something, it’s
\nwithout repentance. <\/p>\n

728
\n00:40:30,360 –> 00:40:33,280
\nHe’s not going to change the
\npromise that he made to Abraham.<\/p>\n

729
\n00:40:33,600 –> 00:40:35,320
\nHe’s not going to alter these
\nthings. <\/p>\n

730
\n00:40:35,320 –> 00:40:39,000
\nThose things stand.
\nAnd it’s based on those things <\/p>\n

731
\n00:40:39,000 –> 00:40:45,200
\nthat our community has had an
\nattitude historically towards <\/p>\n

732
\n00:40:45,200 –> 00:40:48,400
\nthe Jewish people.
\nThis is a man named Michael <\/p>\n

733
\n00:40:48,400 –> 00:40:51,040
\nPragai.
\nAnd Michael Praggai was the <\/p>\n

734
\n00:40:51,040 –> 00:40:55,640
\nsecretary to Abbott Eben when
\nAbbott Eben was the foreign <\/p>\n

735
\n00:40:55,640 –> 00:40:59,560
\nminister and he went to find out
\nabout what Christians believe <\/p>\n

736
\n00:40:59,560 –> 00:41:01,000
\nforeign minister.
\nHe got to deal with other <\/p>\n

737
\n00:41:01,000 –> 00:41:02,480
\nnations, many of which were
\nChristian. <\/p>\n

738
\n00:41:02,680 –> 00:41:05,600
\nSo he went to the Knesset
\nlibrary to find out what do <\/p>\n

739
\n00:41:05,600 –> 00:41:09,200
\nChristians believe about, you
\nknow, the Jews and our relations<\/p>\n

740
\n00:41:09,200 –> 00:41:10,800
\nwith them.
\nAnd he picked up in the library <\/p>\n

741
\n00:41:10,800 –> 00:41:13,160
\nElvis, Israel.
\nAnd this is what he had to read,<\/p>\n

742
\n00:41:13,160 –> 00:41:14,760
\nhe says.
\nFrom the outset, the <\/p>\n

743
\n00:41:14,760 –> 00:41:18,120
\nChristadelphians were ardent
\nsupporters of the idea of the <\/p>\n

744
\n00:41:18,120 –> 00:41:21,880
\nreturn of the Jews, the land of
\nIsrael, which was essential to <\/p>\n

745
\n00:41:21,880 –> 00:41:26,200
\nthe fulfillment of the end time.
\nLong before the rise of Jewish <\/p>\n

746
\n00:41:26,240 –> 00:41:30,360
\nZionism as a political movement
\nat the end of the century, the <\/p>\n

747
\n00:41:30,360 –> 00:41:33,720
\nChristadelphians offered
\npractical assistance to the Jews<\/p>\n

748
\n00:41:34,000 –> 00:41:37,360
\nwho looked to the Land of Israel
\nas a haven of refuge they <\/p>\n

749
\n00:41:37,360 –> 00:41:40,280
\nsupported.
\nSuch pre Zionist groups as the <\/p>\n

750
\n00:41:40,280 –> 00:41:43,440
\nHabitat Zion movement in Czarist
\nRussia. <\/p>\n

751
\n00:41:44,200 –> 00:41:47,960
\nSo this is a Gentile, sorry, a
\nJew Speaking of the <\/p>\n

752
\n00:41:47,960 –> 00:41:51,200
\nChristodelphians and saying
\nlook, this group of people, <\/p>\n

753
\n00:41:51,200 –> 00:41:55,360
\nbased on their belief and their
\nunderstanding was friendly <\/p>\n

754
\n00:41:55,360 –> 00:41:58,440
\ntowards the Jews and assisted
\nthem in going back to the land <\/p>\n

755
\n00:41:58,440 –> 00:42:01,880
\nbased on a faith and a belief in
\nan understanding. <\/p>\n

756
\n00:42:03,440 –> 00:42:07,520
\nAnd that would form the way we
\nbehaved when it came to the <\/p>\n

757
\n00:42:07,520 –> 00:42:10,480
\nJewish people during the Second
\nWorld War. <\/p>\n

758
\n00:42:11,600 –> 00:42:15,280
\nWhen Hitler’s madness swept
\nacross Europe, our brothers and <\/p>\n

759
\n00:42:15,280 –> 00:42:17,640
\nsisters, as is evidence, as you
\nread through some of the <\/p>\n

760
\n00:42:17,640 –> 00:42:22,080
\nmagazines, as is evidence in
\nthose things, we’re keenly aware<\/p>\n

761
\n00:42:22,080 –> 00:42:22,880
\nof what was.
\nGoing on. <\/p>\n

762
\n00:42:22,880 –> 00:42:26,360
\nAnd we’re very concerned about
\nGod’s people, Israel more <\/p>\n

763
\n00:42:26,360 –> 00:42:29,040
\nconcerned sometimes than some of
\nthe Jews were themselves. <\/p>\n

764
\n00:42:29,800 –> 00:42:32,800
\nAnd so it was that they tried to
\ndo something about what? <\/p>\n

765
\n00:42:32,800 –> 00:42:50,440
\nWas going on.
\nYou ever heard the the phrase? <\/p>\n

766
\n00:42:50,440 –> 00:42:53,480
\nThe Sea of Nations.
\nThe wicked are like a troubled <\/p>\n

767
\n00:42:53,480 –> 00:42:54,960
\nsea casting.
\nUp the mire. <\/p>\n

768
\n00:42:55,480 –> 00:42:57,480
\nThis is Nazi Germany.
\nJust. <\/p>\n

769
\n00:42:57,480 –> 00:43:00,440
\nPrior.
\nTo the enactment of Hitler’s <\/p>\n

770
\n00:43:00,440 –> 00:43:02,480
\nideas.
\nAnd you can see that sea of <\/p>\n

771
\n00:43:02,480 –> 00:43:08,000
\npeople moving and fluffing as
\nthis nation rose to power and <\/p>\n

772
\n00:43:08,000 –> 00:43:12,200
\nwould put into place a series of
\nactions that would drastically. <\/p>\n

773
\n00:43:12,200 –> 00:43:15,240
\nAffect the people of Israel
\nbefore the Jews. <\/p>\n

774
\n00:43:15,280 –> 00:43:18,440
\nReally at that point in time,
\nbefore Israel was was reformed <\/p>\n

775
\n00:43:18,440 –> 00:43:28,680
\nas a as a nation.
\nIn the courts and on the street,<\/p>\n

776
\n00:43:28,880 –> 00:43:30,560
\nthe Jews were constantly
\nthreatened. <\/p>\n

777
\n00:43:31,320 –> 00:43:35,080
\nOn November the 9th, 1938,
\nGoebbels turned out the Brown <\/p>\n

778
\n00:43:35,080 –> 00:43:39,200
\nShirts for an orgy of burning
\nand looting Kristalnacht. <\/p>\n

779
\n00:43:39,720 –> 00:43:43,520
\nThe night of breaking glass,
\nevery synagogue in Germany was <\/p>\n

780
\n00:43:43,520 –> 00:43:47,440
\nattacked by the Nazis. 91 Jews
\ndied. <\/p>\n

781
\n00:43:48,160 –> 00:43:50,200
\nI stood there for probably half
\nan hour. <\/p>\n

782
\n00:43:50,480 –> 00:43:54,960
\nThere was not one attempt to put
\nout the fire in the synagogue. <\/p>\n

783
\n00:43:55,760 –> 00:43:59,480
\nMy father was not there.
\nHe came back late that morning. <\/p>\n

784
\n00:44:01,360 –> 00:44:05,160
\nHe was in in bad shape.
\nWe talked together. <\/p>\n

785
\n00:44:05,360 –> 00:44:09,320
\nWhat’s going to happen now?
\nAnd one thing he did and he <\/p>\n

786
\n00:44:09,320 –> 00:44:12,120
\nsuggested, he says, we got to
\nget you out. <\/p>\n

787
\n00:44:17,400 –> 00:44:20,400
\nSo that was what was said by the
\nJews. <\/p>\n

788
\n00:44:20,400 –> 00:44:23,720
\nAnd you begin to see there’s the
\npicture of what was going on, <\/p>\n

789
\n00:44:24,360 –> 00:44:28,280
\nwas that Hitler was taking over
\nEurope, specifically Germany, <\/p>\n

790
\n00:44:28,840 –> 00:44:33,240
\nand that his terrible policies
\nwere spreading throughout the <\/p>\n

791
\n00:44:33,240 –> 00:44:37,800
\nnations in Europe.
\nAnd there were Jews who realized<\/p>\n

792
\n00:44:37,800 –> 00:44:41,440
\nthat that young man his father
\nhad said he’s no longer a young <\/p>\n

793
\n00:44:41,440 –> 00:44:45,520
\nman, but the time he was.
\nHe says we’ve got to get you out<\/p>\n

794
\n00:44:45,520 –> 00:44:47,080
\nof Europe.
\nAnd they recognized what was <\/p>\n

795
\n00:44:47,080 –> 00:44:51,160
\ncoming was going to destroy much
\nof the nation of Israel. <\/p>\n

796
\n00:44:51,840 –> 00:44:56,760
\nAnd now, as we consider this, we
\nsee that there were those who <\/p>\n

797
\n00:44:56,760 –> 00:45:01,360
\ndid try to get their their.
\nChildren out, some 20,000, were <\/p>\n

798
\n00:45:01,360 –> 00:45:03,960
\ntransported out of Europe under
\na program called the <\/p>\n

799
\n00:45:03,960 –> 00:45:07,480
\nKindertransport.
\nNow this book here is a book by <\/p>\n

800
\n00:45:07,480 –> 00:45:10,600
\na woman named Vera Gissing.
\nIt’s a book on this this whole <\/p>\n

801
\n00:45:10,600 –> 00:45:13,440
\nissue of the Kindertransport.
\nShe was a Holocaust survivor who<\/p>\n

802
\n00:45:13,440 –> 00:45:17,720
\nhad been who had escaped to
\nEngland through this process and<\/p>\n

803
\n00:45:17,720 –> 00:45:21,200
\nin her book she makes reference
\nto this Mr. Overton, she says <\/p>\n

804
\n00:45:21,200 –> 00:45:23,200
\nwho was a practicing
\nChristadelphian. <\/p>\n

805
\n00:45:23,560 –> 00:45:26,040
\nAlways like that phrase,
\npracticing Christadelphian. <\/p>\n

806
\n00:45:27,840 –> 00:45:32,520
\nAnd so we went to find what we
\ncould of brother Alan Overton in<\/p>\n

807
\n00:45:32,520 –> 00:45:36,120
\ntheir in our magazines and we
\nfound in the Christadelphian <\/p>\n

808
\n00:45:36,120 –> 00:45:38,600
\nmagazine.
\nThis is June of 1939. <\/p>\n

809
\n00:45:38,600 –> 00:45:42,800
\nA little just a small little
\narticle, a little bulletin where<\/p>\n

810
\n00:45:42,800 –> 00:45:46,840
\nit says Jewish refugee children
\nhospitality wanted for. <\/p>\n

811
\n00:45:46,840 –> 00:45:51,040
\nShort and longer periods wanted
\nanyone who can give motor car <\/p>\n

812
\n00:45:51,040 –> 00:45:56,040
\nhelp in conveying children from
\nLondon to other parts respond to<\/p>\n

813
\n00:45:56,040 –> 00:45:59,120
\nAllen Overton and it gives his
\nhis address there near rugby. <\/p>\n

814
\n00:45:59,440 –> 00:46:01,800
\nThat is literally, by the way,
\nhis address, which I find very <\/p>\n

815
\n00:46:01,800 –> 00:46:07,000
\namusing.
\nBut in the same magazine, there <\/p>\n

816
\n00:46:07,000 –> 00:46:10,200
\nwas a article written by our
\nbrother John Carter. <\/p>\n

817
\n00:46:10,880 –> 00:46:13,960
\nAnd Brother Carter recognized
\nwhat was going on in Israel. <\/p>\n

818
\n00:46:14,480 –> 00:46:17,360
\nAnd he says our interest in
\nIsrael springs with our <\/p>\n

819
\n00:46:17,360 –> 00:46:20,720
\nknowledge, from our knowledge of
\nGod’s purpose with them, in <\/p>\n

820
\n00:46:20,720 –> 00:46:23,120
\nfact.
\nFor the time being, Gentile <\/p>\n

821
\n00:46:23,120 –> 00:46:26,560
\nbelievers have taken their place
\nas branches which have been <\/p>\n

822
\n00:46:26,560 –> 00:46:28,720
\ngrafted into the Abrahamic olive
\ntree. <\/p>\n

823
\n00:46:29,000 –> 00:46:32,800
\nBut God’s gifts and calling are
\nnot subject to change of mind. <\/p>\n

824
\n00:46:33,200 –> 00:46:36,960
\nIsrael is still the chosen
\npeople, and he goes on to say, <\/p>\n

825
\n00:46:36,960 –> 00:46:41,360
\nSince the past and future of
\nthis people touches our face so <\/p>\n

826
\n00:46:41,360 –> 00:46:44,680
\nclosely, we are naturally
\nsympathetic to their needs. <\/p>\n

827
\n00:46:44,920 –> 00:46:48,920
\nAt the present time, but the
\npractical question is how can we<\/p>\n

828
\n00:46:48,920 –> 00:46:51,880
\nhelp them?
\nHow can we basically affect <\/p>\n

829
\n00:46:53,600 –> 00:46:56,960
\nwhat’s going on?
\nMy brother Overton had seen this<\/p>\n

830
\n00:46:56,960 –> 00:47:01,280
\nposter, this young girl sitting
\nin a bus station with the long <\/p>\n

831
\n00:47:01,320 –> 00:47:03,200
\nbraided hair.
\nThey used to call them Platts. <\/p>\n

832
\n00:47:03,200 –> 00:47:06,000
\nIn Britain we call them braids,
\nor, I don’t know, pigtails or <\/p>\n

833
\n00:47:06,000 –> 00:47:10,520
\nwhatever the name is.
\nBut there she was and he looked <\/p>\n

834
\n00:47:10,520 –> 00:47:13,040
\nat that and she looked just like
\nhis daughter. <\/p>\n

835
\n00:47:13,240 –> 00:47:15,680
\nHis daughter was very similar
\nlooking to this little girl. <\/p>\n

836
\n00:47:16,040 –> 00:47:19,760
\nAnd so he was moved by these
\nthings and and wanted to do <\/p>\n

837
\n00:47:19,760 –> 00:47:21,480
\nsomething to help.
\nNow we have a little bit of a a <\/p>\n

838
\n00:47:21,480 –> 00:47:25,840
\nradio footage from a a a radio
\nshow that was played. <\/p>\n

839
\n00:47:25,840 –> 00:47:27,840
\nIt’s a little difficult to hear.
\nMaybe we can turn up a little <\/p>\n

840
\n00:47:27,840 –> 00:47:29,080
\nbit.
\nCraig, this one’s a bit tough, <\/p>\n

841
\n00:47:29,880 –> 00:47:34,240
\nbut just listen through these
\nthings and it’s a a story of <\/p>\n

842
\n00:47:34,280 –> 00:47:37,680
\nAllen Overton’s grand niece
\nactually who worked for the BBC.<\/p>\n

843
\n00:47:37,680 –> 00:47:40,000
\nShe went back to find out about
\nwhat had happened and did a <\/p>\n

844
\n00:47:40,000 –> 00:47:44,800
\nlittle bit of work.
\nAnd this is her story that she <\/p>\n

845
\n00:47:44,800 –> 00:47:47,400
\nput together and she makes
\nreference to a man named Eric <\/p>\n

846
\n00:47:47,400 –> 00:47:49,600
\nMuller who you’re going to see
\non the first slide. <\/p>\n

847
\n00:47:49,920 –> 00:47:52,600
\nAnd Eric was one of the children
\nwho came through this whole <\/p>\n

848
\n00:47:52,600 –> 00:47:55,160
\nprogram and actually became a
\nChristadelphian. <\/p>\n

849
\n00:47:57,440 –> 00:48:00,480
\nAfter a long and tortuous
\njourney, Eric and hundreds of <\/p>\n

850
\n00:48:00,480 –> 00:48:03,320
\nother refugees would end up at
\nLiverpool Street Station. <\/p>\n

851
\n00:48:04,400 –> 00:48:07,000
\nMy great uncle was often there
\nand remembered crowds of <\/p>\n

852
\n00:48:07,040 –> 00:48:10,360
\nbewildered children, some as
\nyoung as two, wearing brand <\/p>\n

853
\n00:48:10,360 –> 00:48:12,560
\nlabels around their necks for
\nidentification. <\/p>\n

854
\n00:48:13,520 –> 00:48:15,760
\nIf they couldn’t be picked up by
\ntheir foster family straight <\/p>\n

855
\n00:48:15,760 –> 00:48:19,440
\naway, he’d drive them to their
\nnew home or use his home in <\/p>\n

856
\n00:48:19,440 –> 00:48:23,560
\nRugby at the Transit house.
\nThe car driver, George, would <\/p>\n

857
\n00:48:23,760 –> 00:48:26,080
\nprobably be driving, father
\nwould be sitting in the back, <\/p>\n

858
\n00:48:26,560 –> 00:48:28,680
\nand he’d have a couple of
\nchildren on one side, a couple <\/p>\n

859
\n00:48:28,680 –> 00:48:31,320
\nof children fast asleep on the
\nother in the middle of the back <\/p>\n

860
\n00:48:31,320 –> 00:48:34,120
\nof the car.
\nAnd then the light would go on. <\/p>\n

861
\n00:48:34,120 –> 00:48:37,720
\nWithin the light of the car,
\nyou’d suddenly see these <\/p>\n

862
\n00:48:37,760 –> 00:48:40,840
\nchildren who are all weary and
\nwarm, you know, lying there, <\/p>\n

863
\n00:48:41,560 –> 00:48:43,560
\nespecially with my great uncle’s
\neldest daughter. <\/p>\n

864
\n00:48:44,280 –> 00:48:46,800
\nOften she’d be expected to give
\nup her bed in the middle of the <\/p>\n

865
\n00:48:46,800 –> 00:48:49,240
\nnight to make way for the newly
\narrived children. <\/p>\n

866
\n00:48:50,400 –> 00:48:53,200
\nBruce, her younger brother, was
\nthe same age as some of the <\/p>\n

867
\n00:48:53,200 –> 00:48:56,440
\nrefugees.
\nLot of them were unwell because <\/p>\n

868
\n00:48:56,440 –> 00:48:58,240
\nthey just had a channel
\ncrossing. <\/p>\n

869
\n00:48:59,040 –> 00:49:02,880
\nThey were in a emotional state
\nhaving just left their parents. <\/p>\n

870
\n00:49:03,520 –> 00:49:11,280
\nAnd the one cry which he heard
\nwhich was muti, Muti which? <\/p>\n

871
\n00:49:11,640 –> 00:49:15,800
\nSeemed to Pierce his heart
\nbecause it was the children <\/p>\n

872
\n00:49:15,800 –> 00:49:18,960
\nleaving their parents in this
\nway and crying for their <\/p>\n

873
\n00:49:18,960 –> 00:49:22,360
\nmothers, and he was emotionally
\ninfected. <\/p>\n

874
\n00:49:22,360 –> 00:49:25,960
\nHe was a man that was affected
\nby emotions and it must have <\/p>\n

875
\n00:49:25,960 –> 00:49:29,120
\ndrained him.
\nIt was much easier to find <\/p>\n

876
\n00:49:29,120 –> 00:49:32,360
\nfoster homes for girls, partly
\nbecause boys were perceived as <\/p>\n

877
\n00:49:32,360 –> 00:49:36,200
\nmore troublesome and expensive.
\nTo meet that need, my great <\/p>\n

878
\n00:49:36,200 –> 00:49:39,560
\nuncle decided to set up a hostel
\nfor boys in Bilton Rd. <\/p>\n

879
\n00:49:39,560 –> 00:49:42,440
\nRugby.
\nHannah Schnabel was a resident. <\/p>\n

880
\n00:49:42,880 –> 00:49:46,520
\nIt was a rather stark place in
\nthe way. <\/p>\n

881
\n00:49:46,520 –> 00:49:49,080
\nI mean, there wasn’t much in the
\nway of furnishings. <\/p>\n

882
\n00:49:49,080 –> 00:49:52,600
\nThere were from 9:00 to 11:00 or
\n12:00 boys. <\/p>\n

883
\n00:49:52,600 –> 00:49:56,400
\nNumbers varied and life was
\npretty hectic. <\/p>\n

884
\n00:49:56,520 –> 00:50:00,120
\nWe had bikes and we had a
\ngarden, which we tended. <\/p>\n

885
\n00:50:00,120 –> 00:50:03,040
\nWe tried to grow our own food
\nand. <\/p>\n

886
\n00:50:03,400 –> 00:50:04,920
\nWhat do you remember of my
\ngreat? <\/p>\n

887
\n00:50:04,960 –> 00:50:09,800
\nUncle, he was the boss, but
\nfortunately he had. <\/p>\n

888
\n00:50:10,400 –> 00:50:13,720
\nWe had lots of patience with us
\nbecause that he needed very <\/p>\n

889
\n00:50:13,760 –> 00:50:18,440
\nbadly and even better, he had a
\ntremendous sense of humour, so <\/p>\n

890
\n00:50:18,560 –> 00:50:21,880
\nthat when things became quite
\nunbearable, someone would crack <\/p>\n

891
\n00:50:21,880 –> 00:50:23,720
\na joke and everything would fall
\napart. <\/p>\n

892
\n00:50:23,720 –> 00:50:26,960
\nAll his strict demeanour
\ndisappeared and he just couldn’t<\/p>\n

893
\n00:50:27,000 –> 00:50:32,480
\nhelp laughing.
\nThat is Brother Eric there on <\/p>\n

894
\n00:50:32,480 –> 00:50:35,640
\nthe bottom.
\nAnd the interesting thing is <\/p>\n

895
\n00:50:35,640 –> 00:50:41,440
\nthat as he described there what
\nwas going on, we realized that <\/p>\n

896
\n00:50:41,920 –> 00:50:47,480
\nthe children were a very young
\nage and they were children that <\/p>\n

897
\n00:50:47,480 –> 00:50:49,800
\nbasically were taken from their
\nparents, sent out. <\/p>\n

898
\n00:50:49,800 –> 00:50:50,960
\nAnd as he said, you know there
\nwas. <\/p>\n

899
\n00:50:50,960 –> 00:50:52,960
\nThis cry and he couldn’t figure
\nout at first what it was. <\/p>\n

900
\n00:50:52,960 –> 00:50:55,320
\nMooty.
\nMooty, which is Mother, Mother, <\/p>\n

901
\n00:50:55,320 –> 00:51:00,600
\n’cause these children were
\nanywhere from babies up to 1516 <\/p>\n

902
\n00:51:00,600 –> 00:51:04,480
\nyear olds, little toddlers
\ncrying out to their mothers who <\/p>\n

903
\n00:51:04,480 –> 00:51:07,760
\nwere hundreds of miles away and
\nprobably whom they would never <\/p>\n

904
\n00:51:07,760 –> 00:51:19,920
\nsee again.
\nHere in Rugby, a small religious<\/p>\n

905
\n00:51:19,920 –> 00:51:22,160
\ngroup called the
\nChristadelphians created a <\/p>\n

906
\n00:51:22,160 –> 00:51:24,840
\nhostel for the Jewish boys
\nnobody else wanted. <\/p>\n

907
\n00:51:25,520 –> 00:51:27,280
\nThis is a film they took of the
\nboys. <\/p>\n

908
\n00:51:27,560 –> 00:51:30,280
\nIt’s never been seen on
\ntelevision before, and it <\/p>\n

909
\n00:51:30,280 –> 00:51:33,640
\nreveals that, orphaned and
\nuprooted as they were, the boys <\/p>\n

910
\n00:51:33,640 –> 00:51:36,280
\nflourished here.
\nThe Christadelphians looked <\/p>\n

911
\n00:51:36,280 –> 00:51:38,600
\nafter them well, and the
\nchildren themselves were <\/p>\n

912
\n00:51:38,600 –> 00:51:41,840
\ndetermined to survive.
\nThey learned English quickly and<\/p>\n

913
\n00:51:41,840 –> 00:51:44,560
\ndid well at school.
\nTheir memories of this time are <\/p>\n

914
\n00:51:44,560 –> 00:51:48,120
\ngood.
\nIt was a semi detached house and<\/p>\n

915
\n00:51:49,320 –> 00:51:52,280
\nthere were about 8:00 and 12:00
\nof us. <\/p>\n

916
\n00:51:52,600 –> 00:51:55,280
\nThe number varied, all very
\nsimple. <\/p>\n

917
\n00:51:55,920 –> 00:51:59,960
\nOur clothes were hanging on the
\npicture rails in the bedroom. <\/p>\n

918
\n00:52:00,440 –> 00:52:03,960
\nThere wasn’t much heating or
\nanything, but we were well <\/p>\n

919
\n00:52:03,960 –> 00:52:07,120
\nnourished and we were sort of a
\nhappy company. <\/p>\n

920
\n00:52:07,120 –> 00:52:11,000
\nLots of fun, lots of mischief.
\nIn his search for families for <\/p>\n

921
\n00:52:11,000 –> 00:52:14,320
\nthe children still trapped in
\nCzechoslovakia, Nicholas Winton <\/p>\n

922
\n00:52:14,320 –> 00:52:18,720
\ncontacted the Christadelphians.
\nTheir leader, Alan Overton, made<\/p>\n

923
\n00:52:18,720 –> 00:52:21,080
\nspeeches around the country,
\ntrying to find homes for the <\/p>\n

924
\n00:52:21,080 –> 00:52:24,080
\nchildren.
\nHis son Bruce Overton, has found<\/p>\n

925
\n00:52:24,080 –> 00:52:27,680
\nin his father’s papers a box of
\nundiscovered documents dating <\/p>\n

926
\n00:52:27,680 –> 00:52:31,200
\nfrom the 30s, photographs of
\nchildren whose hopes were to be <\/p>\n

927
\n00:52:31,200 –> 00:52:34,800
\ndashed with the outbreak of war,
\nand letters begging for help, <\/p>\n

928
\n00:52:35,080 –> 00:52:37,920
\nwhich revealed the viciousness
\nof the Nazi persecution. <\/p>\n

929
\n00:52:38,560 –> 00:52:40,440
\nMy father is a Jew, so he must
\nwrite. <\/p>\n

930
\n00:52:40,440 –> 00:52:42,120
\nI am a Jew.
\nOn the window of his home each <\/p>\n

931
\n00:52:42,120 –> 00:52:47,080
\nday where he’s trying to carry
\nout wireless repair work, he <\/p>\n

932
\n00:52:47,080 –> 00:52:51,800
\nmust add, also in his own
\nhandwriting, Only pigs deal <\/p>\n

933
\n00:52:51,800 –> 00:52:54,760
\nhere.
\nHe may be able to offer some <\/p>\n

934
\n00:52:54,760 –> 00:52:59,840
\nsuggestion which may yet enable
\nhim to come to England and so <\/p>\n

935
\n00:52:59,840 –> 00:53:04,440
\nescape a probable living death
\nin a German concentration camp. <\/p>\n

936
\n00:53:05,040 –> 00:53:08,760
\nOf course, at the time they
\nhadn’t realised how serious were<\/p>\n

937
\n00:53:08,760 –> 00:53:11,120
\nthe concentration camps that
\ntheir lives were. <\/p>\n

938
\n00:53:11,880 –> 00:53:16,480
\nThey wouldn’t live very long in
\nany case in the concentration <\/p>\n

939
\n00:53:16,480 –> 00:53:23,480
\ncamps and the idea of Hitler’s
\nmark to destroy them really not <\/p>\n

940
\n00:53:23,520 –> 00:53:25,560
\nto they.
\nThey were told that they were <\/p>\n

941
\n00:53:25,560 –> 00:53:27,960
\ngoing, they were going to labour
\ncamps and so on. <\/p>\n

942
\n00:53:27,960 –> 00:53:35,040
\nBut we know the result.
\nWe’ve got letters here relating <\/p>\n

943
\n00:53:35,080 –> 00:53:40,360
\nto Nicholas, Yes, because he
\nspent night after night trying <\/p>\n

944
\n00:53:40,360 –> 00:53:44,360
\ndesperately to find families who
\nwould take the children. <\/p>\n

945
\n00:53:44,360 –> 00:53:47,720
\nI wonder whether these children
\nhe couldn’t place. <\/p>\n

946
\n00:53:47,840 –> 00:53:52,800
\nLook at these children’s faces.
\nThis is Carl Singer, born in <\/p>\n

947
\n00:53:52,800 –> 00:53:57,080
\n1923, and talks about his father
\nand mother. <\/p>\n

948
\n00:53:59,080 –> 00:54:03,840
\nThese are tragic faces.
\nThe years must all have been <\/p>\n

949
\n00:54:03,840 –> 00:54:09,560
\nsent out by Nicholas Went
\nFathoms for the children. <\/p>\n

950
\n00:54:09,920 –> 00:54:12,440
\nLook at this lovely child.
\nLook at the photograph <\/p>\n

951
\n00:54:12,440 –> 00:54:14,520
\nunderneath.
\nUnderneath. <\/p>\n

952
\n00:54:14,920 –> 00:54:16,480
\nIt.
\nOh look. <\/p>\n

953
\n00:54:17,200 –> 00:54:21,680
\nAnd that gives you some idea.
\nThere’s a baby, and many babies <\/p>\n

954
\n00:54:21,680 –> 00:54:27,400
\ncame, their parents let them go.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n

955
\n00:54:28,160 –> 00:54:30,400
\nBecause they knew what was
\nhappening. <\/p>\n

956
\n00:54:31,400 –> 00:54:34,440
\nThey knew that if life was to
\ncontinue, they must say goodbye.<\/p>\n

957
\n00:54:34,440 –> 00:54:37,440
\nTo them, it’s.
\nIn this bag. <\/p>\n

958
\n00:54:38,920 –> 00:54:42,560
\nSome of the labels that they
\nactually were wearing when they <\/p>\n

959
\n00:54:42,560 –> 00:55:00,520
\narrived in England and with the
\nnames on. 518 6778 Walter <\/p>\n

960
\n00:55:00,520 –> 00:55:19,040
\nFieldelha, age 3.
\nYou got to ask, brothers and <\/p>\n

961
\n00:55:19,040 –> 00:55:25,360
\nsisters, when you see that if
\nthat was us living in Germany at<\/p>\n

962
\n00:55:25,360 –> 00:55:28,480
\nthat time, could we have done
\nthat? <\/p>\n

963
\n00:55:29,400 –> 00:55:32,760
\nCould we have sent our little
\nones, three years old and <\/p>\n

964
\n00:55:32,760 –> 00:55:38,040
\nyounger, put them on a train
\nthrough hostile territory to <\/p>\n

965
\n00:55:38,040 –> 00:55:41,160
\ncross Europe, never to see them
\nagain? <\/p>\n

966
\n00:55:42,880 –> 00:55:46,120
\nNow the other question is, if
\nthat type of thing happened <\/p>\n

967
\n00:55:46,120 –> 00:55:51,200
\ntoday, how would we feel about
\nopening our homes up to these <\/p>\n

968
\n00:55:51,200 –> 00:55:55,440
\nchildren?
\nHow in tune are we with the hope<\/p>\n

969
\n00:55:55,440 –> 00:55:58,560
\nof Israel?
\nWould that be something that we <\/p>\n

970
\n00:55:58,560 –> 00:56:02,160
\nwould be quick and ready to do,
\nor would that be something that <\/p>\n

971
\n00:56:02,160 –> 00:56:04,680
\nwas just not what we really
\nthink about? <\/p>\n

972
\n00:56:04,680 –> 00:56:08,600
\nWe’re not really involved with
\nIsrael or with the Jews, but <\/p>\n

973
\n00:56:09,440 –> 00:56:11,640
\nthat’s not really something to
\ndo with us. <\/p>\n

974
\n00:56:12,600 –> 00:56:17,040
\nTheir actions were basically
\nbased upon their understanding <\/p>\n

975
\n00:56:17,040 –> 00:56:20,280
\nof the truth.
\nWhere would we stand today? <\/p>\n

976
\n00:56:21,200 –> 00:56:23,720
\nMany Christadelphian families at
\nthat time. <\/p>\n

977
\n00:56:23,720 –> 00:56:27,880
\nParticipated in taking these
\nchildren and one of these <\/p>\n

978
\n00:56:27,880 –> 00:56:32,920
\nfamilies is depicted here.
\nYou may know this individual <\/p>\n

979
\n00:56:32,920 –> 00:56:34,640
\nhere.
\nIt’s brother Ray Butler lives in<\/p>\n

980
\n00:56:34,640 –> 00:56:36,760
\nLondon ON he’s.
\nTravelled. <\/p>\n

981
\n00:56:36,760 –> 00:56:40,960
\nAround several times and may be
\nfamiliar with him, but I know <\/p>\n

982
\n00:56:40,960 –> 00:56:43,360
\nthat you’re familiar with this
\nindividual here in the Little <\/p>\n

983
\n00:56:43,360 –> 00:56:46,880
\nBaby Buggy, because that’s
\nbrother Paul Billington many <\/p>\n

984
\n00:56:46,880 –> 00:56:50,560
\nyears ago, and this is his
\nmother and there’s his <\/p>\n

985
\n00:56:50,560 –> 00:56:52,480
\ngrandparents.
\nBut this little girl in the <\/p>\n

986
\n00:56:52,480 –> 00:56:56,600
\nmiddle is a girl named Lucy.
\nWho was one of those children? <\/p>\n

987
\n00:56:56,600 –> 00:56:59,800
\nAnd in the family photo album
\nthis little kid was there and <\/p>\n

988
\n00:56:59,800 –> 00:57:03,920
\nfor many years nobody knew who
\nshe was and why was she there? <\/p>\n

989
\n00:57:04,280 –> 00:57:08,360
\nUntil it became we became aware
\nthat the the grandparents had <\/p>\n

990
\n00:57:08,360 –> 00:57:11,800
\ntaken one of these children in
\nduring the war and had looked <\/p>\n

991
\n00:57:11,800 –> 00:57:15,160
\nafter them.
\nI’d like to share with you, just<\/p>\n

992
\n00:57:15,160 –> 00:57:19,680
\nas we close off this session.
\nA A letter that was written by a<\/p>\n

993
\n00:57:19,680 –> 00:57:23,000
\ncouple.
\nIt’s a couple named Marta and <\/p>\n

994
\n00:57:23,000 –> 00:57:24,800
\nErnst Ochner.
\nThey were Jewish. <\/p>\n

995
\n00:57:25,240 –> 00:57:29,520
\nThey lived in the area of
\nCzechoslovakia in they were <\/p>\n

996
\n00:57:29,720 –> 00:57:33,640
\nresponsible for organizing the
\nKindertransport in that country <\/p>\n

997
\n00:57:33,640 –> 00:57:36,840
\nto try and get all the children
\nout and they sent their children<\/p>\n

998
\n00:57:36,840 –> 00:57:38,360
\noff and the children ended up
\nstaying. <\/p>\n

999
\n00:57:38,360 –> 00:57:41,360
\nOne of the children stayed with
\nChristadelphian, the other one <\/p>\n

1000
\n00:57:41,360 –> 00:57:45,960
\nstayed with a another family.
\nBut this is the letter that this<\/p>\n

1001
\n00:57:46,160 –> 00:57:51,200
\nthis individual wrote to brother
\nand sister who took these <\/p>\n

1002
\n00:57:51,200 –> 00:57:55,120
\nchildren in.
\nAs the father of your present <\/p>\n

1003
\n00:57:55,120 –> 00:57:59,200
\nfoster child, Hannah from
\nPilsen, I beg to express to you <\/p>\n

1004
\n00:57:59,200 –> 00:58:03,000
\nmy deepest gratitude for your
\ngenerosity and kindness with <\/p>\n

1005
\n00:58:03,000 –> 00:58:05,680
\nwhich you have received our
\nchild. <\/p>\n

1006
\n00:58:06,160 –> 00:58:09,320
\nI can assure you that my child
\nHannah is all that I have. <\/p>\n

1007
\n00:58:09,320 –> 00:58:13,480
\nShe represents all my happiness
\nin life, and this, what is my <\/p>\n

1008
\n00:58:13,480 –> 00:58:17,040
\nlife, is now with you.
\nYou as gentle people will <\/p>\n

1009
\n00:58:17,040 –> 00:58:20,640
\nunderstand what it means to send
\nbeloved children to the strange <\/p>\n

1010
\n00:58:20,640 –> 00:58:23,680
\nworld.
\nHow much pain and tears are in <\/p>\n

1011
\n00:58:23,680 –> 00:58:28,600
\nthis you will imagine Under what
\npressure such a step could be <\/p>\n

1012
\n00:58:28,600 –> 00:58:32,200
\nresolved.
\nBut I trust in the Lord that our<\/p>\n

1013
\n00:58:32,200 –> 00:58:35,960
\nsacrifice will not be in vain,
\nbecause I know that good and <\/p>\n

1014
\n00:58:35,960 –> 00:58:39,720
\ngentle people have taken care of
\nmy child, and they will educate <\/p>\n

1015
\n00:58:39,720 –> 00:58:43,280
\nand care for it in my stead.
\nOur Lord did not wish that <\/p>\n

1016
\n00:58:43,280 –> 00:58:47,800
\nhumanity should be disgraced.
\nHe has provided angels which <\/p>\n

1017
\n00:58:47,800 –> 00:58:51,200
\nwill not leave them, and such
\nangels are you, Mr. and Mrs. <\/p>\n

1018
\n00:58:51,200 –> 00:58:55,560
\nWarren.
\nAnd as long as we live, you may <\/p>\n

1019
\n00:58:55,560 –> 00:58:58,960
\nbe sure that our deepest
\ngratitude of our deepest <\/p>\n

1020
\n00:58:58,960 –> 00:59:01,280
\ngratitude.
\nBy taking care of my children, <\/p>\n

1021
\n00:59:01,280 –> 00:59:05,440
\nyou have proved that you are you
\nbelong to a large and wise <\/p>\n

1022
\n00:59:05,440 –> 00:59:08,280
\nnation, which will live forever
\nand always win. <\/p>\n

1023
\n00:59:09,160 –> 00:59:13,080
\nWe are the grateful parents of
\nRuth and Hannah, and that was <\/p>\n

1024
\n00:59:13,080 –> 00:59:16,920
\nwritten in 1939.
\nThat, by the way, is a <\/p>\n

1025
\n00:59:16,920 –> 00:59:21,640
\nphotograph of the Warrens.
\nNow Ernst and Marta did not. <\/p>\n

1026
\n00:59:21,640 –> 00:59:23,800
\nLive to see their.
\nChildren again. <\/p>\n

1027
\n00:59:24,600 –> 00:59:29,920
\nIt was in October of 1944 that
\nboth of them perished in <\/p>\n

1028
\n00:59:30,880 –> 00:59:34,040
\nAuschwitz.
\nBut note what he said there. <\/p>\n

1029
\n00:59:34,560 –> 00:59:37,240
\nI trust that our labor would not
\nbe in vain. <\/p>\n

1030
\n00:59:38,360 –> 00:59:41,000
\nIt’s interesting that in the
\nChristadelphian magazine in <\/p>\n

1031
\n00:59:41,000 –> 00:59:47,600
\n1943, some five years later, we
\nfind this We had the unique <\/p>\n

1032
\n00:59:47,600 –> 00:59:50,200
\npleasure of baptizing on
\nDecember the 20th. <\/p>\n

1033
\n00:59:50,960 –> 00:59:54,160
\nA Jewish and Gentile candidate,
\nMiss. <\/p>\n

1034
\n00:59:54,280 –> 00:59:59,200
\nHannah Miriam Offner, 17, who
\ncame from Czechoslovakia as a <\/p>\n

1035
\n00:59:59,200 –> 01:00:02,640
\nrefugee child some four years
\nago and has been under the <\/p>\n

1036
\n01:00:02,640 –> 01:00:06,280
\nloving care of Sister Waring and
\nhas attended the Sunday School. <\/p>\n

1037
\n01:00:06,920 –> 01:00:10,840
\nAnd so it was that some of these
\nchildren who came out went to <\/p>\n

1038
\n01:00:10,840 –> 01:00:12,880
\nthese families.
\nAnd the interesting thing is <\/p>\n

1039
\n01:00:12,880 –> 01:00:15,040
\nthat they participated in the
\nBible readings. <\/p>\n

1040
\n01:00:15,480 –> 01:00:17,480
\nAnd that was the key to this
\nwhole thing. <\/p>\n

1041
\n01:00:17,480 –> 01:00:21,040
\nBecause as Christodelphians, we
\ndon’t just read the New <\/p>\n

1042
\n01:00:21,040 –> 01:00:24,000
\nTestament, we read the Old
\nTestament too. <\/p>\n

1043
\n01:00:24,680 –> 01:00:28,360
\nAnd so these kids, as they went
\nthere, they could stomach that <\/p>\n

1044
\n01:00:28,360 –> 01:00:30,320
\nthey were Jewish.
\nThis was their Bible. <\/p>\n

1045
\n01:00:30,560 –> 01:00:32,680
\nSo 2 readings out of the Old
\nTestament. <\/p>\n

1046
\n01:00:32,760 –> 01:00:34,840
\nThey could put up with one
\nreading out of the New <\/p>\n

1047
\n01:00:34,840 –> 01:00:37,640
\nTestament.
\nAnd that’s how they learned that<\/p>\n

1048
\n01:00:37,640 –> 01:00:41,880
\nthe hope of Israel is not
\nsomething divorced from true <\/p>\n

1049
\n01:00:41,880 –> 01:00:44,600
\nChristianity.
\nBut they recognized that there <\/p>\n

1050
\n01:00:44,600 –> 01:00:47,720
\nwas a connection in these
\nthings, and there were many of <\/p>\n

1051
\n01:00:47,720 –> 01:00:50,640
\nthem who were baptized through
\nthis way. <\/p>\n

1052
\n01:00:51,760 –> 01:00:56,240
\nAnd so we have the words of the
\nLord God himself, Genesis, <\/p>\n

1053
\n01:00:56,240 –> 01:00:59,920
\nchapter 12, verses one to three.
\nBut where he says that I will <\/p>\n

1054
\n01:00:59,920 –> 01:01:03,600
\nbless them, that bless thee, and
\nI will curse him that curseth <\/p>\n

1055
\n01:01:03,600 –> 01:01:06,200
\nthee, and in thee shall all
\nfamilies of the earth be <\/p>\n

1056
\n01:01:06,200 –> 01:01:08,360
\nblessed.
\nAnd so it is, brothers and <\/p>\n

1057
\n01:01:08,360 –> 01:01:10,960
\nsisters, that we hope to spend
\nthe rest of our time together <\/p>\n

1058
\n01:01:10,960 –> 01:01:16,560
\ntoday, following through the
\nstory now of how God, as laid <\/p>\n

1059
\n01:01:16,560 –> 01:01:21,640
\nout in Ezekiel chapter 37, has
\nbegun to resurrect those dry <\/p>\n

1060
\n01:01:21,640 –> 01:01:26,240
\nbones, to bring them back to the
\nland, to breathe his spirit into<\/p>\n

1061
\n01:01:26,240 –> 01:01:30,720
\nthem once again, to resurrect
\nthem in belief and as a nation <\/p>\n

1062
\n01:01:31,320 –> 01:01:33,920
\nto be prepared for the Lord
\nJesus Christ, who, when he <\/p>\n

1063
\n01:01:33,920 –> 01:01:37,600
\ncomes, will indeed be the
\ndeliverer that comes out of Zion<\/p>\n

1064
\n01:01:37,880 –> 01:01:39,960
\nand turns away ungodliness from
