1
\n00:00:13,290 –> 00:00:14,690
\nWelcome to good Chris Selfian
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:14,690 –> 00:00:16,010
\nI’m Levi.
\nI’m Chris. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:16,170 –> 00:00:18,370
\nI’m Jason.
\nAnd I’m Brian, thank you for <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:18,370 –> 00:00:21,170
\njoining us this week.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:21,170 –> 00:00:24,690
\ntalk a week to help us get the
\nBible in our Daily News feed. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:24,890 –> 00:00:28,490
\nEach week we post talk that we
\npreviewed from suggestions sent <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:28,490 –> 00:00:29,930
\nin by listeners from around the
\nworld. <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:30,090 –> 00:00:33,690
\nThen we record a short intro
\nbeforehand as a personalized <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:33,690 –> 00:00:36,490
\nrecommendation to you on why we
\nare sharing the talk. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:36,650 –> 00:00:39,640
\nAnd now let’s talk more about
\nthis week’s talk. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:50,520 –> 00:00:53,520
\nHello, this is brother Chris
\nback with another talk to share <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:53,520 –> 00:00:55,920
\nwith you this week.
\nWe’re listening to an <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:55,920 –> 00:00:59,640
\nexhortation that was given all
\nthe way back in 2016 by Brother <\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:59,640 –> 00:01:04,319
\nDavid Frazier from the Pine Town
\nEcclesia in South Africa. <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:05,280 –> 00:01:08,120
\nAnd in the sectation, Brother
\nDavid is taking a look at the <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:08,120 –> 00:01:11,840
\nstory of the Ethiopian eunuch.
\nAnd I really enjoyed this <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:11,840 –> 00:01:14,240
\nbecause it’s one of those taking
\na deeper dive into one of those <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:14,240 –> 00:01:15,800
\nstories that you read and the
\nmeaning behind it. <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:16,360 –> 00:01:19,840
\nA lot of it I felt like I had
\nheard before, but Brother David <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:19,840 –> 00:01:21,680
\ndoes a really good job of
\nputting it all together and <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:21,680 –> 00:01:24,920
\npulling a lot of really
\ninteresting Nuggets from the <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:24,920 –> 00:01:28,560
\nstory of the Ethiopian eunuch
\nand Philip and kind of the <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:28,560 –> 00:01:31,600
\nevents going on after Christ’s
\nresurrection during the time of <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:31,600 –> 00:01:34,640
\nActs representing the gospel,
\ngoing out to the entire world, <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:34,640 –> 00:01:39,240
\nand sort of how that began
\nfollowing Christ’s death and <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:39,240 –> 00:01:42,280
\nresurrection.
\nSo this was one that was sent <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:42,280 –> 00:01:45,920
\nthrough as a suggestion for a
\ncouple different expectations, <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:45,920 –> 00:01:48,920
\nand David Frazier’s one from
\nOctober in 2016 was one of them.<\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:49,200 –> 00:01:51,320
\nAnd I found it to be really
\nencouraging. <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:51,760 –> 00:01:55,000
\nAlso, one of those fun deep
\ndives into a little section of <\/p>\n

31
\n00:01:55,000 –> 00:01:58,560
\nscripture and a little story
\nthat maybe you haven’t always <\/p>\n

32
\n00:01:58,960 –> 00:02:01,280
\npaid attention to or just sort
\nof read over as being just a <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:01,280 –> 00:02:03,800
\nSunday school story that you
\nread about and not always <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:03,800 –> 00:02:05,280
\nfocusing on all the little
\ndetails. <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:05,520 –> 00:02:07,680
\nBut Brother David does a really
\ngood job at digging into those <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:07,680 –> 00:02:09,520
\ndetails and finding all the
\nmeanings that are there. <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:10,080 –> 00:02:14,000
\nSo if you’re going to be
\nfollowing along, the account is <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:14,000 –> 00:02:17,000
\ntaken from Acts chapter 8
\nstarting at verse 25. <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:17,640 –> 00:02:20,600
\nAnd there are tons of good
\nopportunities for Bible marking <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:20,600 –> 00:02:22,560
\nand kind of making little
\nconnections to other parts so <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:22,560 –> 00:02:25,480
\nthat the next time you read
\nthrough this passage, you can <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:25,840 –> 00:02:28,720
\ncall back to this class and find
\nthose fun notes to make the <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:28,720 –> 00:02:31,960
\nstory come alive as I felt it
\ndid when I was listening to <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:31,960 –> 00:02:33,400
\nBrother David give this
\nexhortation. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:33,800 –> 00:02:36,360
\nSo I hope that you find this
\nexhortation to be an <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:36,480 –> 00:02:41,520
\nencouragement to you as you go
\nthrough this coming week and <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:41,520 –> 00:02:44,680
\nuplifts you on your walk.
\nAnd with that, I will turn it <\/p>\n

48
\n00:02:44,680 –> 00:02:47,520
\nover to our brother David
\nFrazier for his exhortation <\/p>\n

49
\n00:02:47,520 –> 00:02:51,960
\nentitled The Ethiopian Eunuch.
\nMy dear brothers and sisters in <\/p>\n

50
\n00:02:51,960 –> 00:02:56,240
\nour Lord Jesus Christ.
\nSo the exhortation is on the <\/p>\n

51
\n00:02:56,240 –> 00:02:58,840
\nEthiopian eunuch.
\nIt’s the latter part of the ACT <\/p>\n

52
\n00:02:58,840 –> 00:03:01,320
\nreading.
\nAnd we know the story of Philip <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:01,320 –> 00:03:03,320
\nin the Ethiopian eunuch very
\nwell. <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:03,880 –> 00:03:06,120
\nIt’s a very familiar New
\nTestament story. <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:06,120 –> 00:03:10,040
\nBut the interesting thing is
\nthat the reality of the story <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:10,520 –> 00:03:14,320
\nbegins at least 1000 years
\nbefore this time. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:15,520 –> 00:03:18,720
\nIt begins 1000 years before in
\nthe reign of King Solomon. <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:19,320 –> 00:03:23,360
\nSo if you open your Bibles with
\nme to 1st Kings chapter 8, we’ll<\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:23,360 –> 00:03:27,440
\nbe able to see some of the
\ndetail of of where the origin of<\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:27,440 –> 00:03:29,680
\nthe Ethiopian eunuch story
\nbegan. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:32,200 –> 00:03:37,040
\nSo we know in First Kings
\nchapter 8, verse 20, it says <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:37,040 –> 00:03:42,280
\nthat Solomon had built a temple
\nas Yahweh had commanded him as <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:42,280 –> 00:03:45,280
\nan house for the name of Yahweh,
\nElohim of Israel. <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:46,160 –> 00:03:51,160
\nThe point of building the house
\nfor Solomon and that had as God <\/p>\n

65
\n00:03:51,160 –> 00:03:55,080
\nhad required, was to venerate
\nthe name of Yahweh. <\/p>\n

66
\n00:03:56,120 –> 00:03:58,840
\nIt was a place for Yahweh’s name
\nto be placed. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:03:58,840 –> 00:04:03,400
\nSolomon plainly understood that
\nthe temple couldn’t contain God,<\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:04,680 –> 00:04:07,200
\nbut it was a place where His
\nname would reside. <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:07,680 –> 00:04:10,320
\nAnd you see this from verse 22
\nonwards. <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:10,800 –> 00:04:13,600
\nFirst Kings 8.
\nVerse 22 And Solomon stood <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:13,600 –> 00:04:16,600
\nbefore the altar of Yahweh in
\nthe presence of all the <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:16,600 –> 00:04:21,720
\ncongregation of Israel, and
\nspread forth his hands towards <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:22,079 –> 00:04:25,480
\ntoward heaven.
\nAnd he said, Yahweh elohimeth <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:25,480 –> 00:04:28,520
\nIsrael.
\nThere is no God like thee in <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:28,520 –> 00:04:32,600
\nheaven above or in earth
\nbeneath, who keepest covenant <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:32,600 –> 00:04:35,520
\nand mercy with thy servants,
\nthat walk before thee with all <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:35,520 –> 00:04:41,800
\nthine their heart.
\nVerse 27 But will God indeed <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:41,800 –> 00:04:45,640
\ndwell on the earth?
\nBehold, the heaven and heaven of<\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:45,640 –> 00:04:50,360
\nheavens cannot contain thee.
\nHow much less this house that I <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:50,360 –> 00:04:54,080
\nhave builded.
\nSo this was not a constraint of <\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:54,080 –> 00:04:56,400
\nGod.
\nIt was a place where the name of<\/p>\n

82
\n00:04:56,400 –> 00:05:01,360
\nYahweh was to be imprinted on
\nthe building that Solomon had <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:01,360 –> 00:05:05,000
\nmade.
\nNow the temple was in many ways <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:05,280 –> 00:05:09,400
\ndifferent to the Tabernacle and,
\nand we know obviously that the <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:09,400 –> 00:05:13,760
\nmaterials were mostly much
\ngrander and of much greater <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:13,760 –> 00:05:16,280
\nworth.
\nIt was a permanent structure <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:16,280 –> 00:05:18,400
\ncompared with the temporary
\nstructure which was the <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:18,400 –> 00:05:23,360
\nTabernacle, and it was larger,
\nthough not that much larger than<\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:23,360 –> 00:05:27,520
\nthe Tabernacle, but that’s not
\nthe real difference. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:28,520 –> 00:05:32,040
\nThe real difference between the
\nTabernacle and the temple was <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:32,040 –> 00:05:35,760
\nthe following.
\nThe Tabernacle was created by <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:35,760 –> 00:05:43,040
\nGod in the wilderness for the
\nJews, whereas the Temple of <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:43,040 –> 00:05:48,880
\nSolomon was the 1st House of
\nprayer for all people and we’re <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:48,880 –> 00:05:50,360
\ngoing to come to that in a
\nmoment. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:50,520 –> 00:05:52,920
\nIt really is important to
\nunderstand the distinction <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:52,920 –> 00:05:56,200
\nbetween them.
\nIf somebody had to appear at the<\/p>\n

97
\n00:05:56,200 –> 00:06:01,160
\nTabernacle, they had to comply
\nwith Jewish strictures and and <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:01,160 –> 00:06:05,360
\nconversion principles.
\nThe Temple was the 1st House of <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:05,360 –> 00:06:08,920
\nprayer for all people.
\nHave a look a little on in in <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:08,920 –> 00:06:11,840
\nFirst Kings chapter 8 down at
\nverse 41. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:14,040 –> 00:06:17,800
\nHere is Solomon at the
\ndedication of the temple talking<\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:17,800 –> 00:06:22,600
\nabout non Jews.
\nMoreover, concerning a stranger <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:22,600 –> 00:06:29,800
\nthat is not of thy people Israel
\nexplicitly a non Jew, but who <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:29,800 –> 00:06:32,920
\ncometh out of a far country for
\nwhat reason? <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:33,840 –> 00:06:39,480
\nFor Yahweh’s name’s sake, for
\nthey shall hear of thy great <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:39,480 –> 00:06:44,040
\nname.
\nAnd if thy strong hand, and of <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:44,040 –> 00:06:49,360
\nthy stretched out arm, we
\nremember when Solomon started <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:49,360 –> 00:06:52,400
\npraying to God, he stretched
\nforth his hands towards heaven. <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:53,320 –> 00:06:56,080
\nThe people are responding
\nbecause Yahweh’s arm is <\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:56,080 –> 00:06:59,800
\nstretched out in verse 42.
\nAnd when this stranger shall <\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:59,800 –> 00:07:03,840
\ncome and pray toward this house,
\nhear thou in heaven, thy <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:03,840 –> 00:07:06,920
\ndwelling place, and do according
\nto all that the stranger calleth<\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:06,920 –> 00:07:13,120
\nto thee, for that all people of
\nthe earth may know thy name, to <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:13,120 –> 00:07:17,120
\nfear thee, as do the people
\nIsrael, and that they may know <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:17,120 –> 00:07:22,560
\nthat this house which I’ve
\nbuilded is called by thy name. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:23,920 –> 00:07:29,320
\nSo the purpose of the temple was
\nplainly to expand the principle <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:29,320 –> 00:07:33,080
\nof the name of Yahweh to all
\nnations, not just to the Jews. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:34,160 –> 00:07:39,160
\nIt was an outstretched intent.
\nIt was an outreaching to all the<\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:39,160 –> 00:07:41,680
\nnations.
\nAnd you know what? <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:42,320 –> 00:07:45,960
\nGod actually built this into the
\narchitectural features that He <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:45,960 –> 00:07:48,280
\nrequired Solomon to make in the
\ntemple. <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:50,120 –> 00:07:53,200
\nIf you come back just two
\nchapters, you’ll see this in <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:53,200 –> 00:07:56,880
\nFirst Kings chapter 6, verses 23
\nto 28. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:58,320 –> 00:08:03,480
\nAnd that’s primarily in the
\nstructure of the Caribbean in <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:03,480 –> 00:08:06,000
\nverse 23 of First Kings chapter
\n6. <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:06,400 –> 00:08:11,200
\nIt’s a notable change to the
\nTabernacle within the Oracle <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:11,200 –> 00:08:16,240
\nthat is the most Holy Place.
\nHe made two Caribbeans of olive <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:16,240 –> 00:08:21,040
\ntree, each 10 cubits high, and
\nfive cubits was the wing of one <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:21,040 –> 00:08:25,040
\nCarib and five cubits the other
\nwing of the Carib. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:25,040 –> 00:08:28,240
\nFrom the outermost part of the
\none wing unto the outermost part<\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:28,240 –> 00:08:32,840
\nof the other were 10 cubits, and
\nthe other Kerub was the same. <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:33,120 –> 00:08:39,320
\nBoth the Kerubim’s were of one
\nmeasure and one size. <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:40,480 –> 00:08:44,920
\nAnd verse 27 continues.
\nHe set the Kerubim’s within the <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:44,920 –> 00:08:50,360
\ninner house, and they stretched
\nforth the same phraseology <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:50,360 –> 00:08:53,680
\nagain, the wings of the
\nKerubim’s, so that the wing of <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:53,680 –> 00:08:57,320
\nthe one touched the one wall and
\nthe wing of the other Kerub <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:57,680 –> 00:09:01,160
\ntouched the other wall, and
\ntheir wings touched one another <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:01,160 –> 00:09:04,680
\nin the midst of the house.
\nAnd he overlaid the Caribbeans <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:04,680 –> 00:09:07,840
\nwith gold.
\nSo in the Tabernacle, the wings <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:07,840 –> 00:09:12,000
\nof the Caribbeans had been
\nfolded in and exclusive in the <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:12,000 –> 00:09:15,560
\nwings of the Caribbean of
\nSolomon’s temple. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:15,920 –> 00:09:19,080
\nThey’re outward, reaching and
\nexpansive. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:20,360 –> 00:09:24,840
\nAnd it’s notable, too, that it
\nspecifically describes them as <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:25,280 –> 00:09:31,200
\ntwo Caribbean of olive wood.
\nAnd because we Bible students, <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:31,200 –> 00:09:35,400
\nour minds run straight away to
\nZechariah, to the two olive <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:35,400 –> 00:09:39,800
\ntrees, the one wild and the one
\nnatural who jointly created the <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:39,800 –> 00:09:44,240
\noil for the lampstand.
\nBecause this, my dear brothers <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:44,240 –> 00:09:47,960
\nand sisters, is talking about
\nthe two anointed ones, the Jews <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:47,960 –> 00:09:53,600
\nand the Gentiles, each
\nrepresented in equal measure, in<\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:53,600 –> 00:09:58,400
\nequal stature, in equal
\nstructure within the Holy of <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:58,400 –> 00:10:01,800
\nHolies.
\nAnd what do they do? <\/p>\n

152
\n00:10:02,840 –> 00:10:06,160
\nThey’re made of olive wood and
\nthey’re covered, both with the <\/p>\n

153
\n00:10:06,160 –> 00:10:08,800
\nsame method of redemption, the
\ngold of tried faith. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:10:10,000 –> 00:10:13,920
\nHow do they stand?
\nThey stand stretching out, <\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:13,920 –> 00:10:17,720
\nextending outwards, yet meeting
\nin perfect harmony in the <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:17,720 –> 00:10:20,160
\nmiddle.
\nIt was a harmony of Jew and <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:20,160 –> 00:10:24,240
\nGentile in the principles of
\nGod’s expansion of His name to <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:24,240 –> 00:10:28,080
\nall nations.
\nAnd not only were the Caribbean <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:28,080 –> 00:10:33,920
\nexpansive there Solomon also
\nsays that he put them upon the <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:33,920 –> 00:10:41,120
\nveil and uniquely in the temple
\nalso on the walls of the holy <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:41,120 –> 00:10:45,080
\nplace, not the most holy, the
\nholy place both within and <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:45,080 –> 00:10:46,640
\nwithout.
\nAnd whether that means on the <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:46,640 –> 00:10:49,520
\noutside or not, it’s it’s a moot
\npoint. <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:50,520 –> 00:10:56,160
\nBut we have the symbol of two
\nolives, olive tree made Kerubim <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:56,640 –> 00:11:01,960
\nJune Gentile, and then Kerubim’s
\nall over the walls of the holy <\/p>\n

166
\n00:11:01,960 –> 00:11:07,400
\nplace in Solomon’s temple.
\nSo what did Kerubim’s represent?<\/p>\n

167
\n00:11:08,280 –> 00:11:12,280
\nThey represented the vehicle for
\nthe conveying, the chariot for <\/p>\n

168
\n00:11:12,280 –> 00:11:16,000
\nthe conveying of God’s
\nprinciples and God’s truth in an<\/p>\n

169
\n00:11:16,000 –> 00:11:18,920
\nexpansionist form.
\nIt was always the vehicle moving<\/p>\n

170
\n00:11:19,120 –> 00:11:23,280
\nwas a Kerubim to bring God’s
\nglory to all nations. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:25,120 –> 00:11:28,720
\nNow we’re in first Kings and we
\ndon’t have to wait very long to <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:28,720 –> 00:11:32,080
\nsee the work of God actually
\nbearing fruit. <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:33,600 –> 00:11:37,280
\nCometh me to 1st Kings chapter
\n10 because this is the first <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:37,280 –> 00:11:42,240
\ntime when somebody responds to
\nthis outstretched work of of <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:42,240 –> 00:11:48,920
\nYahweh to the Gentiles in First
\nKings chapter 10 at verse one. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:51,280 –> 00:11:54,000
\nAnd when the queen of Sheba
\nheard the fame of Solomon <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:54,000 –> 00:11:57,320
\nconcerning the name of Yahweh.
\nIsn’t that interesting? <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:57,880 –> 00:12:02,200
\nWhat was her response to it was
\nabout the name of Yahweh and all<\/p>\n

179
\n00:12:02,200 –> 00:12:05,800
\nthat it stood for.
\nShe came to prove him with hard <\/p>\n

180
\n00:12:05,800 –> 00:12:07,920
\nquestions.
\nAnd she came to Jerusalem with a<\/p>\n

181
\n00:12:07,920 –> 00:12:12,000
\nvery great train with camels
\nthat best spices and very much <\/p>\n

182
\n00:12:12,000 –> 00:12:15,240
\ngold and precious stones.
\nAnd when she was come to <\/p>\n

183
\n00:12:15,240 –> 00:12:18,920
\nSolomon, she communed with him
\nof all that was in her heart, <\/p>\n

184
\n00:12:20,320 –> 00:12:22,320
\nand Solomon told her all her
\nquestions. <\/p>\n

185
\n00:12:22,640 –> 00:12:26,480
\nThere was not anything hid from
\nthe king which he told her not. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:12:28,160 –> 00:12:31,120
\nAnd then what happens?
\nThe queen of Sheba makes an <\/p>\n

187
\n00:12:31,120 –> 00:12:34,880
\nobservation.
\nThe Queen of Sheba, when she had<\/p>\n

188
\n00:12:34,880 –> 00:12:40,240
\nseen all of Solomon’s wisdom and
\nthe house that he had built, the<\/p>\n

189
\n00:12:40,240 –> 00:12:44,680
\nfood off his table, the sitting
\nof his servants in the <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:44,680 –> 00:12:50,520
\nattendance of his ministers,
\ntheir apparel of righteousness, <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:51,800 –> 00:12:56,160
\nand his cupbearers, and his
\nascent by which he went up to <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:56,160 –> 00:12:59,920
\nthe House of Yahweh.
\nThere was no more spirit in her,<\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:01,080 –> 00:13:05,240
\nbecause what was getting
\npresented here was the greater <\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:05,240 –> 00:13:09,880
\nthan Solomon preparing the table
\nfor his servants. <\/p>\n

195
\n00:13:11,520 –> 00:13:15,560
\nThere was the food on the table,
\nand they were the cupbearers, <\/p>\n

196
\n00:13:16,920 –> 00:13:20,520
\nand which she saw the expanse of
\nwhat this outward reaching <\/p>\n

197
\n00:13:21,240 –> 00:13:25,000
\nhumility was in giving the
\nsalvation to all. <\/p>\n

198
\n00:13:26,040 –> 00:13:28,360
\nThe result was that there was no
\nmore spirit in her. <\/p>\n

199
\n00:13:30,400 –> 00:13:32,640
\nAnd verse 6.
\nShe says to the king, It was a <\/p>\n

200
\n00:13:32,640 –> 00:13:36,280
\ntrue report that I heard in mine
\nown land of thy acts and of thy <\/p>\n

201
\n00:13:36,280 –> 00:13:39,080
\nwisdom.
\nHowbeit, I believe not the <\/p>\n

202
\n00:13:39,080 –> 00:13:42,880
\nwords, until I came, and my eyes
\nhad seen it, and behold, the <\/p>\n

203
\n00:13:42,880 –> 00:13:46,880
\nhalf of it was not told me.
\nThy wisdom and prosperity <\/p>\n

204
\n00:13:46,880 –> 00:13:51,680
\nexceeded the fame which I heard,
\nand the consequence of sitting <\/p>\n

205
\n00:13:51,680 –> 00:13:57,760
\nat this table of bread and wine
\nis that happy are thy men. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:13:58,800 –> 00:14:02,320
\nHappy are these thy servants,
\nwhich stand continually before <\/p>\n

207
\n00:14:02,320 –> 00:14:09,520
\nthee, and that hear thy wisdom.
\nO Solomon, blessed be Yahweh thy<\/p>\n

208
\n00:14:09,520 –> 00:14:13,480
\nGod, which delighteth in thee to
\nset thee on the throne of <\/p>\n

209
\n00:14:13,480 –> 00:14:17,400
\nIsrael, because Yahweh loved
\nIsrael forever, therefore made <\/p>\n

210
\n00:14:17,400 –> 00:14:21,160
\nhe the king to do judgment and
\njustice. <\/p>\n

211
\n00:14:21,720 –> 00:14:25,880
\nAnd the echoes to us and our
\nChrist our greater than Solomon <\/p>\n

212
\n00:14:26,680 –> 00:14:29,560
\nis plainly painted in this this
\nvision. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:14:30,760 –> 00:14:34,760
\nShe was a queen from the South.
\nShe came from the way of the <\/p>\n

214
\n00:14:34,760 –> 00:14:36,400
\nSouth.
\nShe was the first queen of the <\/p>\n

215
\n00:14:36,400 –> 00:14:40,560
\nSouth in scriptural language.
\nAnd she came because the name of<\/p>\n

216
\n00:14:40,560 –> 00:14:44,080
\nYahweh had been attached to that
\nhouse, but had spread. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:14:44,520 –> 00:14:47,880
\nIt was not just localized.
\nIt had spread into all the earth<\/p>\n

218
\n00:14:48,760 –> 00:14:53,360
\nthis wonderful, true
\nmonotheistic religion that made <\/p>\n

219
\n00:14:53,360 –> 00:14:56,040
\nsense.
\nIt was believable, unlike the <\/p>\n

220
\n00:14:56,040 –> 00:14:58,080
\nnonsense of the pagans
\nroundabout. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:58,400 –> 00:15:03,400
\nAnd she came and was satisfied,
\nand she received that wonderful <\/p>\n

222
\n00:15:03,400 –> 00:15:06,960
\nwisdom from Solomon, who was
\nYahweh’s divine mouthpiece. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:15:08,280 –> 00:15:11,920
\nSo perhaps as a consequence of
\nher belief, my dear brothers and<\/p>\n

224
\n00:15:11,920 –> 00:15:18,960
\nsisters, 1000 years later a man
\nof Ethiopia, the eunuch from the<\/p>\n

225
\n00:15:18,960 –> 00:15:22,880
\nSouth, could make a similar
\npilgrimage to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:15:25,480 –> 00:15:29,240
\nThis pattern though, had
\npersisted for many years. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:15:30,200 –> 00:15:33,440
\nPeople out of all nations were
\nbeing called to God’s truth <\/p>\n

228
\n00:15:33,440 –> 00:15:37,560
\nalways because of the principles
\nby which He stood. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:15:37,560 –> 00:15:41,560
\nThere were truth seekers out of
\nall nations always wanting to <\/p>\n

230
\n00:15:41,560 –> 00:15:46,520
\ncome to this one God of Israel.
\nOpen your Bibles just for a <\/p>\n

231
\n00:15:46,520 –> 00:15:50,120
\nmoment to John chapter 12 and
\nyou’ll see an example of this, <\/p>\n

232
\n00:15:51,880 –> 00:15:56,360
\nbecause in John chapter 12, we
\nget an example of exactly the <\/p>\n

233
\n00:15:56,360 –> 00:16:02,120
\nsame type of people as the Queen
\nof Sheba and her cohorts as they<\/p>\n

234
\n00:16:02,120 –> 00:16:07,560
\ncame up to Jerusalem.
\nSo John chapter 12 beginning at <\/p>\n

235
\n00:16:07,560 –> 00:16:13,560
\n1st 20 to 21.
\nAnd there were certain Greeks <\/p>\n

236
\n00:16:13,560 –> 00:16:17,400
\namong them that came up to
\nworship at the feast. <\/p>\n

237
\n00:16:17,560 –> 00:16:22,600
\nThat’s the feast of Passover.
\nThe same came therefore to <\/p>\n

238
\n00:16:22,600 –> 00:16:28,880
\nPhilip, which was of beside her
\nof Galilee, Galilee of the <\/p>\n

239
\n00:16:28,880 –> 00:16:34,960
\nnations, and desired him saying,
\nSir, we would see Jesus. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:16:36,480 –> 00:16:39,440
\nIt’s the same type of appeal as
\nthe Queen of Sheba had. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:16:40,080 –> 00:16:44,240
\nAnd what’s very important for us
\nto notice is that these people <\/p>\n

242
\n00:16:44,240 –> 00:16:49,560
\nhere are referred to as Greeks.
\nThere is another word used in <\/p>\n

243
\n00:16:49,560 –> 00:16:51,480
\nthe New Testament.
\nIt’s very important for us to <\/p>\n

244
\n00:16:51,480 –> 00:16:54,240
\ndistinguish, and you don’t need
\nto turn it up. <\/p>\n

245
\n00:16:54,240 –> 00:16:59,200
\nIn Act Six, there are people who
\nare called Grecians. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:16:59,880 –> 00:17:05,119
\nGrecians are not Greeks.
\nGrecians in scriptural <\/p>\n

247
\n00:17:05,119 –> 00:17:08,400
\nterminology and you can look it
\nup in your own time, were <\/p>\n

248
\n00:17:08,400 –> 00:17:13,440
\nHellenistic Jews, Jews who spoke
\nGreek as their first language. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:17:14,119 –> 00:17:17,480
\nThey were typically born outside
\nof the land of Israel and were <\/p>\n

250
\n00:17:17,480 –> 00:17:21,839
\nviewed as second rate citizens
\nbecause they spoke Greek and not<\/p>\n

251
\n00:17:22,040 –> 00:17:25,040
\nAramaic or Hebrew as their first
\nlanguage. <\/p>\n

252
\n00:17:25,359 –> 00:17:31,840
\nThese were the Grecians.
\nHowever, in John 12 these Greeks<\/p>\n

253
\n00:17:32,640 –> 00:17:37,840
\nare Gentiles and it’s exactly
\nthe same phrase that’s used in <\/p>\n

254
\n00:17:37,840 –> 00:17:41,920
\nGalatians 328.
\nThere’s neither Jew nor Greek as<\/p>\n

255
\n00:17:41,920 –> 00:17:47,920
\nJew nor non Jew in Galatians 328
\nand they came up to the <\/p>\n

256
\n00:17:47,920 –> 00:17:52,280
\nPassover.
\nGentiles came to the Passover at<\/p>\n

257
\n00:17:52,280 –> 00:17:53,880
\nJerusalem.
\nWhat brought them up? <\/p>\n

258
\n00:17:54,560 –> 00:17:56,640
\nWell, it says they came to
\nworship. <\/p>\n

259
\n00:17:58,000 –> 00:18:00,600
\nThey came to worship.
\nAnd you know what? <\/p>\n

260
\n00:18:00,600 –> 00:18:03,240
\nGentiles could participate in
\nthe Passover. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:18:03,520 –> 00:18:06,160
\nAnd so they did from the very
\nfirst Passover. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:18:07,160 –> 00:18:10,840
\nBecause it didn’t mean you had
\nto be a Jew to partake in the <\/p>\n

263
\n00:18:10,840 –> 00:18:12,080
\nPassover.
\nIt meant you had to be <\/p>\n

264
\n00:18:12,080 –> 00:18:16,760
\ncircumcised, irrespective of
\nyour national origin. <\/p>\n

265
\n00:18:16,960 –> 00:18:21,240
\nYou were welcome at the Passover
\nif you were circumcised. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:18:23,000 –> 00:18:27,280
\nWhat Jesus did they see?
\nWhat was the Jesus they saw? <\/p>\n

267
\n00:18:28,200 –> 00:18:31,120
\nWell, in the New Testament,
\nJesus was the true cherub. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:18:31,280 –> 00:18:35,960
\nHe was the anointed cherub who
\nwas taking God’s message outside<\/p>\n

269
\n00:18:35,960 –> 00:18:39,960
\nthe confines of the temple and
\nthe precinct of the temple, and <\/p>\n

270
\n00:18:39,960 –> 00:18:44,320
\nwas Emmanuel walking among us.
\nHe was the perfect vehicle to <\/p>\n

271
\n00:18:44,320 –> 00:18:49,160
\nbring God’s principles amongst
\nall people, And they behold <\/p>\n

272
\n00:18:49,160 –> 00:18:52,520
\nbeheld as glory, as of the only
\nbegotten glory of the Father, <\/p>\n

273
\n00:18:52,520 –> 00:18:57,600
\nfull of grace and of truth.
\nAnd Jesus though, presents <\/p>\n

274
\n00:18:57,600 –> 00:19:02,280
\nHimself not as that great image
\na little down in John 12. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:19:02,600 –> 00:19:06,520
\nHe presents Himself as the seed
\nwhich has to fall into the <\/p>\n

276
\n00:19:06,520 –> 00:19:09,160
\nground to bring forth much
\nfruit. <\/p>\n

277
\n00:19:10,240 –> 00:19:14,400
\nThey saw the suffering servant
\nJesus, not the one who has <\/p>\n

278
\n00:19:14,400 –> 00:19:17,880
\nglorified just yet.
\nJesus showed that the cross had <\/p>\n

279
\n00:19:17,880 –> 00:19:22,920
\nto come before the crown.
\nSo now, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n

280
\n00:19:22,920 –> 00:19:26,880
\ncometh me to Acts chapter 8 as
\nwe pick up the story of the <\/p>\n

281
\n00:19:26,880 –> 00:19:30,360
\nEthiopian eunuch, because it all
\nfits together. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:19:30,720 –> 00:19:33,840
\nThere was precedence to the
\nevents of Acts chapter 8. <\/p>\n

283
\n00:19:36,480 –> 00:19:41,200
\nIn Acts chapter 8, the Angel of
\nYahweh spoke to Philip again to <\/p>\n

284
\n00:19:41,200 –> 00:19:44,560
\nPhilip of all people, Philip
\nwho’s he was a Gent. <\/p>\n

285
\n00:19:44,560 –> 00:19:47,440
\nIt’s a Gentile name.
\nPhilip means a lover of horses. <\/p>\n

286
\n00:19:47,920 –> 00:19:51,080
\nHe was of Galilee.
\nHe was a person who was speaking<\/p>\n

287
\n00:19:51,080 –> 00:19:53,840
\nwell to the Gentiles.
\nAnd of course the Angel of <\/p>\n

288
\n00:19:53,840 –> 00:19:58,560
\nYahweh chooses Philip of all
\npeople to send him on this <\/p>\n

289
\n00:19:58,560 –> 00:20:01,720
\nmission.
\nVerse 26 The Angel of Yahweh <\/p>\n

290
\n00:20:01,720 –> 00:20:05,600
\nspoke to Philip saying, Arise
\nand go toward the South, unto <\/p>\n

291
\n00:20:05,600 –> 00:20:08,760
\nthe way that goes down from
\nJerusalem unto Gaza, which is <\/p>\n

292
\n00:20:08,760 –> 00:20:12,200
\ndesert.
\nAnd Philip arose and went, and <\/p>\n

293
\n00:20:12,200 –> 00:20:16,240
\nbehold, a man of Ethiopia and
\neunuch of great authority under <\/p>\n

294
\n00:20:16,240 –> 00:20:19,600
\nCandace, queen of The
\nEthiopians, who had the charge <\/p>\n

295
\n00:20:19,600 –> 00:20:22,720
\nof all her treasure.
\nInteresting that word. <\/p>\n

296
\n00:20:22,720 –> 00:20:27,400
\nTreasure is the word Gaza.
\nHe was going down to Gaza and he<\/p>\n

297
\n00:20:27,400 –> 00:20:30,720
\nwas a man in charge of Gaza,
\nwhich is treasure. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:20:31,360 –> 00:20:33,560
\nIt’s a play on where your
\ntreasure is. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:20:35,360 –> 00:20:41,480
\nAnd he had come like the Greeks,
\nto Jerusalem for to worship. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:20:42,720 –> 00:20:46,280
\nIsn’t this interesting?
\nHe was a Gentile who had come to<\/p>\n

301
\n00:20:46,280 –> 00:20:50,680
\nJerusalem for to worship.
\nAnd he was returning and sitting<\/p>\n

302
\n00:20:50,680 –> 00:20:53,200
\nin his chariot he read Isaiah
\nthe prophet. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:20:55,120 –> 00:20:58,960
\nSo what was this road?
\nIt says the road LED S. <\/p>\n

304
\n00:20:58,960 –> 00:21:01,720
\nWell, obviously a southward
\nleading Rd. leads S. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:21:02,120 –> 00:21:04,400
\nBut you know what the the Greek
\nactually implies? <\/p>\n

306
\n00:21:04,720 –> 00:21:06,760
\nIt means it doesn’t mean S at
\nall. <\/p>\n

307
\n00:21:06,800 –> 00:21:10,920
\nIt means at noonday.
\nSo this was another Rd. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:21:10,920 –> 00:21:14,280
\nThere was one Rd. that led S
\nthrough Hebron more directly <\/p>\n

309
\n00:21:14,280 –> 00:21:19,440
\nSouth and another one that led S
\ntowards the coast to Gaza, and <\/p>\n

310
\n00:21:19,440 –> 00:21:22,960
\nthat was the really unused Rd.
\nto Gaza. <\/p>\n

311
\n00:21:23,400 –> 00:21:27,200
\nHe was on that road to Gaza to
\nprobably catch the King’s Hwy. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:21:27,560 –> 00:21:30,960
\nto go further South.
\nIt was like a adjoining route. <\/p>\n

313
\n00:21:31,840 –> 00:21:37,680
\nHe was on that route in a dry
\ndesert in the middle of the day <\/p>\n

314
\n00:21:37,680 –> 00:21:41,080
\nat noonday, and there was
\nnothing around him. <\/p>\n

315
\n00:21:42,160 –> 00:21:44,360
\nIt was quiet.
\nStill. <\/p>\n

316
\n00:21:44,360 –> 00:21:46,680
\nNo other passengers.
\nNobody else would be mad enough <\/p>\n

317
\n00:21:46,680 –> 00:21:49,560
\nto go on that road in the middle
\nof the noonday heat. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:21:51,080 –> 00:21:55,880
\nAnd there he was in the most
\nunlikely place on earth that God<\/p>\n

319
\n00:21:55,880 –> 00:21:59,000
\ncaused a new beginning to happen
\nfor the Ethiopian war. <\/p>\n

320
\n00:22:00,120 –> 00:22:03,560
\nYou see, God’s often causes
\ninteresting things to start in <\/p>\n

321
\n00:22:03,560 –> 00:22:08,400
\nour lives in the most unlikely
\nplaces that we could ever, ever <\/p>\n

322
\n00:22:08,520 –> 00:22:13,280
\nexpect or believe.
\nSo where was Ethiopia that he <\/p>\n

323
\n00:22:13,280 –> 00:22:16,400
\nwas from?
\nSo Ethiopia in those days tended<\/p>\n

324
\n00:22:16,400 –> 00:22:19,000
\nto refer to anything South of
\nEgypt. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:22:19,480 –> 00:22:22,800
\nIt was a very wide area, not
\njust the narrow country that we <\/p>\n

326
\n00:22:22,800 –> 00:22:29,080
\nknow as Ethiopia now.
\nAnd who was he, the Chamberlain <\/p>\n

327
\n00:22:29,080 –> 00:22:31,800
\nor control of the, the, the
\ntreasury form? <\/p>\n

328
\n00:22:32,160 –> 00:22:34,400
\nWell, it says her name was
\nCandace, Queen of The <\/p>\n

329
\n00:22:34,400 –> 00:22:37,320
\nEthiopians.
\nWell, Candace was a title very <\/p>\n

330
\n00:22:37,320 –> 00:22:40,720
\nmuch like pharaoh.
\nIt’s, it’s not a proper name. <\/p>\n

331
\n00:22:41,280 –> 00:22:47,000
\nHer name was Amanatari and she
\nreigned from AD 25 to AD 41. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:22:47,360 –> 00:22:52,360
\nSo it’s a title.
\nHe was in service to a great <\/p>\n

333
\n00:22:52,360 –> 00:22:56,960
\nqueen and as a eunuch.
\nHe was a man of high status, a <\/p>\n

334
\n00:22:56,960 –> 00:23:00,280
\nChamberlain, and he had
\nknowledge of the Jewish faith <\/p>\n

335
\n00:23:00,280 –> 00:23:03,160
\nbecause he was coming plainly to
\nJerusalem to worship. <\/p>\n

336
\n00:23:04,400 –> 00:23:06,760
\nHis reason for being there was
\nonly to worship. <\/p>\n

337
\n00:23:07,280 –> 00:23:11,040
\nIt was not to exalt his position
\nor his status or his power or in<\/p>\n

338
\n00:23:11,040 –> 00:23:14,560
\na diplomatic mission.
\nIt wasn’t a byproduct of going <\/p>\n

339
\n00:23:14,560 –> 00:23:19,080
\nthere for some other reason.
\nHe came there to worship. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:23:19,960 –> 00:23:23,160
\nHe had intent in his heart and
\nan understanding of the God of <\/p>\n

341
\n00:23:23,160 –> 00:23:26,760
\nIsrael.
\nSo significantly then, brothers <\/p>\n

342
\n00:23:26,760 –> 00:23:32,400
\nand sisters, with Paul and
\nCornelius, he makes up the great<\/p>\n

343
\n00:23:32,400 –> 00:23:39,200
\nthree of the conversions of the
\nNew Testament, Shem Paul Ham, <\/p>\n

344
\n00:23:39,920 –> 00:23:45,200
\nthe Ethiopian eunuch, and
\nJapheth Cornelius out of all <\/p>\n

345
\n00:23:45,200 –> 00:23:49,880
\nnations called to the truth.
\nAnd he’s returning and he’s <\/p>\n

346
\n00:23:49,880 –> 00:23:52,720
\nreading Isaiah.
\nNow, we might think that that’s <\/p>\n

347
\n00:23:52,720 –> 00:23:56,720
\nnormal because we’re people of
\nthe book, but it was extremely <\/p>\n

348
\n00:23:56,720 –> 00:23:59,040
\nrare to own a copy of your own
\nscrolls. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:23:59,400 –> 00:24:03,440
\nThis man had gone and taken his
\nown money and had bought the <\/p>\n

350
\n00:24:03,480 –> 00:24:05,440
\nIsaiah scrolls.
\nAnd there there were normally <\/p>\n

351
\n00:24:05,440 –> 00:24:08,520
\ntwo in a set because they were
\nso bulky. <\/p>\n

352
\n00:24:09,480 –> 00:24:12,320
\nHe had bought two of these from
\nthe scribes in Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

353
\n00:24:12,920 –> 00:24:15,760
\nWe know from the version he’s
\nreading, it was probably, <\/p>\n

354
\n00:24:15,800 –> 00:24:18,920
\nprobably the substurgent
\nversion, the Greek version of <\/p>\n

355
\n00:24:18,920 –> 00:24:22,320
\nthe Old Testament, which shows
\nthat he was a learned man of <\/p>\n

356
\n00:24:22,320 –> 00:24:27,920
\nthose days that and he read this
\nand he was reading aloud, as <\/p>\n

357
\n00:24:27,920 –> 00:24:30,320
\nmany people in the past used to
\ndo. <\/p>\n

358
\n00:24:30,600 –> 00:24:34,120
\nWe tend to read quietly.
\nIn the past, reading aloud was <\/p>\n

359
\n00:24:34,120 –> 00:24:37,760
\nmuch more frequent.
\nSo he was, he was reading <\/p>\n

360
\n00:24:38,040 –> 00:24:41,240
\nobviously somebody else was
\ndriving because he couldn’t do <\/p>\n

361
\n00:24:41,240 –> 00:24:45,040
\nboth at the same time, and his
\nservants would have been hearing<\/p>\n

362
\n00:24:45,040 –> 00:24:49,800
\nthe things he was saying.
\nSo verse 29, the Spirit says to <\/p>\n

363
\n00:24:49,800 –> 00:24:53,520
\nPhilip, Go near, join thyself to
\nthis chariot. <\/p>\n

364
\n00:24:53,520 –> 00:24:57,360
\nAnd Philip ran thither to him
\nand heard him read the prophet <\/p>\n

365
\n00:24:57,360 –> 00:25:01,280
\nIsaiah and said, Understandest
\nthou what thou readest? <\/p>\n

366
\n00:25:01,840 –> 00:25:04,880
\nAnd he said, How can I accept?
\nSome man should guide me? <\/p>\n

367
\n00:25:05,600 –> 00:25:08,160
\nAnd he desired, or as the
\nRevised Version says, he <\/p>\n

368
\n00:25:08,160 –> 00:25:11,200
\nbesought Philip that he would
\ncome up and sit with him. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:25:12,720 –> 00:25:15,640
\nSo the Ethiopian eunuch had
\nopened his scroll and had been <\/p>\n

370
\n00:25:15,640 –> 00:25:20,320
\nreading through it and got to
\nIsaiah 53, the suffering servant<\/p>\n

371
\n00:25:20,800 –> 00:25:27,000
\nof Jesus, and was now stuck.
\nIsn’t isn’t it interesting that <\/p>\n

372
\n00:25:27,000 –> 00:25:30,080
\nPhilip was at a distance from
\nthe chariot at this point? <\/p>\n

373
\n00:25:30,600 –> 00:25:34,960
\nThe Spirit was able to take him
\naway in an instant, but that <\/p>\n

374
\n00:25:34,960 –> 00:25:40,800
\nPhilip, under circumstance of
\nGod’s design, had to run with <\/p>\n

375
\n00:25:40,800 –> 00:25:43,960
\nthe Gospel to the Ethiopian
\neunuch. <\/p>\n

376
\n00:25:46,200 –> 00:25:48,960
\nThe Spirit can move him around
\nafterwards, plainly moved him <\/p>\n

377
\n00:25:48,960 –> 00:25:53,520
\naway, but Philip had to with his
\nfeet shod with the gospel of <\/p>\n

378
\n00:25:53,520 –> 00:25:59,440
\ngrace, as Romans 10, verse 15
\ntells us, run with the gospel to<\/p>\n

379
\n00:25:59,440 –> 00:26:05,520
\nbear it to the Ethiopian eunuch
\nand running aside him, the <\/p>\n

380
\n00:26:05,520 –> 00:26:10,360
\nperfect timing to meet somebody
\nwho’s moving at this desert <\/p>\n

381
\n00:26:10,360 –> 00:26:13,440
\nplace at noonday at just the
\nright place. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:26:14,240 –> 00:26:18,560
\nThe Spirit worked out that this
\nman was going to get stuck on <\/p>\n

383
\n00:26:18,560 –> 00:26:24,120
\nIsaiah 53, and Philip met him
\nwhere he was. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:26:25,040 –> 00:26:27,240
\nAnd it’s a great principle for
\nteaching the truth. <\/p>\n

385
\n00:26:28,120 –> 00:26:32,960
\nGod sends right people to say
\nthe right things at the right <\/p>\n

386
\n00:26:32,960 –> 00:26:37,720
\ntime for the right reason.
\nIt was perfectly tuned for the <\/p>\n

387
\n00:26:37,720 –> 00:26:42,600
\nneeds of the Ethiopian eunuch.
\nSo the Ethiopian eunuch <\/p>\n

388
\n00:26:42,600 –> 00:26:45,560
\nacknowledged that he was unable
\nto understand. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:26:45,560 –> 00:26:47,600
\nHe was stuck.
\nVerse 32. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:26:48,000 –> 00:26:50,440
\nThe place of the Scripture which
\nyou read was this. <\/p>\n

391
\n00:26:51,000 –> 00:26:53,760
\nHe was led as a sheep to the
\nslaughter, and like a lamb done <\/p>\n

392
\n00:26:53,760 –> 00:26:56,560
\nbefore his Shearer, so opened he
\nnot his mouth. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:26:57,760 –> 00:27:01,080
\nIn his humiliation his judgement
\nwas taken away. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:27:01,680 –> 00:27:05,760
\nAnd who shall declare His
\ngeneration or his descendants, <\/p>\n

395
\n00:27:06,920 –> 00:27:08,960
\nfor his life is taken from the
\nearth. <\/p>\n

396
\n00:27:10,080 –> 00:27:13,040
\nAnd the eunuch answered Philip,
\nand said, I pray thee, of whom <\/p>\n

397
\n00:27:13,040 –> 00:27:17,400
\nspeaketh the prophet this of
\nhimself, or some other man? <\/p>\n

398
\n00:27:18,480 –> 00:27:21,760
\nThen Philip opened his mouth,
\nand began at the same Scripture,<\/p>\n

399
\n00:27:22,600 –> 00:27:27,280
\nand preached unto him Jesus.
\nThe remarkable thing is, the <\/p>\n

400
\n00:27:27,280 –> 00:27:32,600
\nscribes had fastidiously copied
\nthis text down, but not one of <\/p>\n

401
\n00:27:32,600 –> 00:27:34,840
\nthem could have ever explained
\nit to this man. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:27:36,000 –> 00:27:40,000
\nThey got it down pat, but they
\nnever understood its meaning. <\/p>\n

403
\n00:27:41,840 –> 00:27:44,760
\nAnd yet this man wanted to know.
\nYou see, this is the wonderful <\/p>\n

404
\n00:27:44,760 –> 00:27:47,760
\nquality of a truth seeker, and
\nit’s what we have to do <\/p>\n

405
\n00:27:47,760 –> 00:27:51,560
\ncontinuously, brothers and
\nsisters, ask questions, seek for<\/p>\n

406
\n00:27:51,560 –> 00:27:53,680
\ntruth.
\nWhat does it mean? <\/p>\n

407
\n00:27:55,320 –> 00:27:59,080
\nSo Philip opened his mouth and
\npreached unto him the suffering <\/p>\n

408
\n00:27:59,080 –> 00:28:02,960
\nservant, which is Jesus.
\nYou know, there’s no other way <\/p>\n

409
\n00:28:02,960 –> 00:28:04,640
\nto speak except opening your
\nmouth. <\/p>\n

410
\n00:28:06,240 –> 00:28:08,960
\nSo what does it mean when it
\nsays Philip opened his mouth? <\/p>\n

411
\n00:28:09,400 –> 00:28:12,320
\nWell, that’s a phrase that comes
\nto us and you can just note it. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:28:12,600 –> 00:28:17,480
\nActs 116 and Acts 3, verses 18
\nand 21. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:28:18,480 –> 00:28:21,680
\nIt’s typically words that are
\nspoken under influence of the <\/p>\n

414
\n00:28:21,680 –> 00:28:24,320
\nHoly Spirit when He opens his
\nmouth. <\/p>\n

415
\n00:28:24,320 –> 00:28:27,320
\nThe Holy Spirit was working now
\nthrough Philip because Philip <\/p>\n

416
\n00:28:27,600 –> 00:28:31,560
\nhad done the hard work and got
\nthere at the right time. <\/p>\n

417
\n00:28:32,960 –> 00:28:37,520
\nSo Philip opens his mouth and
\npreaches to him the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

418
\n00:28:37,520 –> 00:28:41,160
\nChrist.
\nAnd as they went on their way, <\/p>\n

419
\n00:28:41,160 –> 00:28:44,000
\nverse 36, they came to a certain
\nwater. <\/p>\n

420
\n00:28:44,000 –> 00:28:51,040
\nAnd the eunuch said, see here is
\nwater, water in the desert, the <\/p>\n

421
\n00:28:51,040 –> 00:28:53,520
\nmost unlikely place to find
\nanything. <\/p>\n

422
\n00:28:55,400 –> 00:28:57,440
\nWhat doth hinder me to be
\nbaptized? <\/p>\n

423
\n00:28:58,160 –> 00:29:00,760
\nAnd Philip said, If thou
\nbelievest with all thine heart, <\/p>\n

424
\n00:29:00,760 –> 00:29:03,320
\nthou mayest.
\nAnd he answered and said, I <\/p>\n

425
\n00:29:03,320 –> 00:29:07,000
\nbelieve that Jesus Christ is the
\nSon of God. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:29:08,280 –> 00:29:10,280
\nAnd he commanded the chariot to
\nstand still. <\/p>\n

427
\n00:29:10,280 –> 00:29:14,480
\nAnd they went down both into the
\nwater, both Philip and the <\/p>\n

428
\n00:29:14,480 –> 00:29:20,240
\neunuch, and Philip baptized him.
\nWhen it says a certain water in <\/p>\n

429
\n00:29:20,240 –> 00:29:26,200
\nverse 36, the resonance back to
\nIsaiah is absolutely plain. <\/p>\n

430
\n00:29:26,520 –> 00:29:30,320
\nNow Isaiah 43 at verse 19, and
\nthe subchergent, I’ll read it to<\/p>\n

431
\n00:29:30,320 –> 00:29:33,840
\nyou.
\nBehold, I will do new things <\/p>\n

432
\n00:29:34,360 –> 00:29:37,480
\nwhich shall presently spring
\nforth, and ye shall know them, <\/p>\n

433
\n00:29:38,240 –> 00:29:42,600
\nand I will make a way in the
\nwilderness and rivers, in the <\/p>\n

434
\n00:29:42,600 –> 00:29:46,360
\ndry land.
\nAnd in some partial fulfillment <\/p>\n

435
\n00:29:46,360 –> 00:29:50,280
\nof that prophecy, it was coming
\nvery real for the Ethiopian <\/p>\n

436
\n00:29:50,280 –> 00:29:53,680
\neunuch.
\nBut which springs of waters <\/p>\n

437
\n00:29:53,680 –> 00:29:57,080
\nwould these have been?
\nIt says a certain water. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:29:57,840 –> 00:30:00,640
\nIt didn’t mean he just said
\nthere is water. <\/p>\n

439
\n00:30:00,640 –> 00:30:04,000
\nHe came and there was a certain
\nwater. <\/p>\n

440
\n00:30:05,680 –> 00:30:08,240
\nIt appears, my dear brothers and
\nsisters, that these were the <\/p>\n

441
\n00:30:08,240 –> 00:30:16,080
\nwells and the springs that were
\ngiven to the Gentile Caleb as <\/p>\n

442
\n00:30:16,080 –> 00:30:21,160
\nhis inheritance in the land.
\nIn Joshua 15, verse 19, the <\/p>\n

443
\n00:30:21,160 –> 00:30:24,920
\nsprings of water as it is
\ndescribed in Joshua in the <\/p>\n

444
\n00:30:24,920 –> 00:30:31,400
\nSouthland that were the Gentile
\nCaleb’s, the very water that was<\/p>\n

445
\n00:30:31,400 –> 00:30:35,880
\ngoing to be baptizing him was
\nthat which had been owned by <\/p>\n

446
\n00:30:35,880 –> 00:30:40,320
\nCaleb.
\nSo Philip started under the <\/p>\n

447
\n00:30:40,320 –> 00:30:44,880
\ninspiration of the spirit of
\nIsaiah 53 and he preaches to him<\/p>\n

448
\n00:30:45,080 –> 00:30:49,200
\nJesus and baptism.
\nThe two of them go hand in hand.<\/p>\n

449
\n00:30:50,240 –> 00:30:53,760
\nJust a dead Christ is not good
\nenough, but a resurrected Christ<\/p>\n

450
\n00:30:53,760 –> 00:30:56,600
\nis.
\nAnd the Ethiopian wanted to be <\/p>\n

451
\n00:30:56,600 –> 00:31:01,360
\nbaptized into the death of the
\nsuffering servant of Isaiah 53, <\/p>\n

452
\n00:31:01,960 –> 00:31:05,680
\nthe Jesus who the Greeks had
\ncome up to see in John 12, who <\/p>\n

453
\n00:31:05,680 –> 00:31:08,920
\nwas the seed who fell into the
\nground and came forth and <\/p>\n

454
\n00:31:08,920 –> 00:31:14,040
\nbrought forth many more other
\nthan just himself alone. <\/p>\n

455
\n00:31:15,080 –> 00:31:19,000
\nHe would have descendants which
\nwould not be of His own loins. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:31:21,360 –> 00:31:25,200
\nAnd verse 39, when they would
\ncome up out of the water, the <\/p>\n

457
\n00:31:25,200 –> 00:31:28,800
\nspirit of Yahweh caught away
\nPhilip, that the eunuch saw him <\/p>\n

458
\n00:31:28,800 –> 00:31:31,200
\nno more, and he went on his way,
\nrejoicing. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:31:32,520 –> 00:31:35,560
\nAnd instantly Philip is found at
\nAshdod. <\/p>\n

460
\n00:31:36,760 –> 00:31:38,560
\nThat’s Azotus.
\nIt’s Ashdod. <\/p>\n

461
\n00:31:38,560 –> 00:31:41,000
\nYou know where Ashdod is?
\nIt’s on the coast. <\/p>\n

462
\n00:31:41,480 –> 00:31:45,120
\nHe went from inland in this dry
\ndesert place and was found at <\/p>\n

463
\n00:31:45,160 –> 00:31:49,760
\nAshdod on the coast.
\nAnd wonderful Philip passing <\/p>\n

464
\n00:31:49,760 –> 00:31:52,240
\nthrough.
\nHe preached in all the cities <\/p>\n

465
\n00:31:52,560 –> 00:31:56,520
\ntill he came to Caesarea.
\nAll the way from Gaza in the <\/p>\n

466
\n00:31:56,520 –> 00:32:00,120
\nSouth, up the coastline to the
\nvery top of the land to <\/p>\n

467
\n00:32:00,120 –> 00:32:03,120
\nCaesarea, Philip’s mouth was
\nopening. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:32:03,720 –> 00:32:06,880
\nSpeak, speech, speaking the
\ngospel and preaching the good <\/p>\n

469
\n00:32:06,880 –> 00:32:11,640
\nnews of the things of Christ.
\nIsn’t that wonderful? <\/p>\n

470
\n00:32:14,120 –> 00:32:19,640
\nBut Philip May began at Isaiah
\n53, but I’m absolutely certain <\/p>\n

471
\n00:32:19,640 –> 00:32:23,840
\nhe never ended there.
\nEither Philip may have <\/p>\n

472
\n00:32:23,840 –> 00:32:28,760
\ncontinued, or the Ethiopian
\neunuch would have turned the <\/p>\n

473
\n00:32:28,760 –> 00:32:34,920
\nscrolls a couple of turns on and
\nhe would have come to Isaiah 56.<\/p>\n

474
\n00:32:35,400 –> 00:32:38,680
\nTurn with me there if you
\nwouldn’t mind, because it’s so <\/p>\n

475
\n00:32:38,680 –> 00:32:43,280
\nexciting to see the promise that
\nthe Ethiopian eunuch would have <\/p>\n

476
\n00:32:43,280 –> 00:32:48,760
\nseen in Isaiah 56 as I 56 at
\nverse 3. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:32:52,240 –> 00:32:56,800
\nNeither let the son of the
\nstranger that hath joined <\/p>\n

478
\n00:32:56,800 –> 00:33:01,360
\nhimself to Yahweh speak, saying
\nYahweh have utterly separated me<\/p>\n

479
\n00:33:01,360 –> 00:33:04,240
\nfrom his people.
\nDon’t think you’ve separated <\/p>\n

480
\n00:33:04,240 –> 00:33:06,360
\nfrom Israel because you’re not a
\nJew. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:33:07,600 –> 00:33:13,120
\nNeither let the eunuch say,
\nBehold, I’m a dry tree, that <\/p>\n

482
\n00:33:13,160 –> 00:33:16,480
\nthat’s exactly what he saw in
\nthe desert, and his life had no <\/p>\n

483
\n00:33:16,480 –> 00:33:21,240
\nissuance after him, like the
\nsuffering servant of Isaiah 53. <\/p>\n

484
\n00:33:22,760 –> 00:33:26,160
\nFor thus saith Yahweh, unto the
\neunuchs that keep my Sabbaths, <\/p>\n

485
\n00:33:26,160 –> 00:33:29,840
\nand choose the things that
\nplease me, and take hold of my <\/p>\n

486
\n00:33:29,840 –> 00:33:33,720
\ncovenant, even unto them will I
\ngive. <\/p>\n

487
\n00:33:34,320 –> 00:33:40,800
\nNow look at this, please.
\nIn mine house the Caribbean, the<\/p>\n

488
\n00:33:40,800 –> 00:33:45,760
\ntwo wooden Caribbean, and within
\nmy walls the Caribbean. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:33:45,760 –> 00:33:54,160
\nOn the walls a place and a name.
\nThe name of Yahweh will be upon <\/p>\n

490
\n00:33:54,160 –> 00:33:57,280
\nhim better than of sons and
\ndaughters. <\/p>\n

491
\n00:33:57,280 –> 00:33:59,440
\nSons and daughters, carry on
\nyour name. <\/p>\n

492
\n00:34:00,600 –> 00:34:04,920
\nThe promise with Christ is that
\nyou will be carried on yourself.<\/p>\n

493
\n00:34:06,360 –> 00:34:11,159
\nI will give them an everlasting
\nname that shall not be cut off. <\/p>\n

494
\n00:34:12,960 –> 00:34:15,000
\nWhat are the attributes of this
\nperson? <\/p>\n

495
\n00:34:15,360 –> 00:34:18,679
\nVerse 6.
\nThe sons of the stranger that <\/p>\n

496
\n00:34:18,679 –> 00:34:23,760
\njoin themselves to Yahweh to
\nserve him, to love the name of <\/p>\n

497
\n00:34:23,760 –> 00:34:28,159
\nYahweh, to be his servants.
\nEveryone that keepeth the <\/p>\n

498
\n00:34:28,159 –> 00:34:32,080
\nSabbath from polluting it,
\ntaketh hold of my covenant. <\/p>\n

499
\n00:34:32,840 –> 00:34:36,760
\nEven then will I bring it to My
\nholy mountain and make them <\/p>\n

500
\n00:34:36,760 –> 00:34:44,360
\njoyful in My House of prayer.
\nAnd their offerings, their burnt<\/p>\n

501
\n00:34:44,360 –> 00:34:47,920
\nofferings and their sacrifices,
\nthough not of Israel, will be <\/p>\n

502
\n00:34:47,920 –> 00:34:51,800
\naccepted on Mine altar, for Mine
\nhouse shall be called a House of<\/p>\n

503
\n00:34:51,800 –> 00:34:57,040
\nprayer for all people.
\nYahweh Elohim, which gathereth <\/p>\n

504
\n00:34:57,040 –> 00:35:01,440
\nthe outcasts of Israel, saith.
\nYet will I gather others to Him,<\/p>\n

505
\n00:35:01,880 –> 00:35:09,240
\nbeside those that are gathered
\nunto Him, Those who served, who <\/p>\n

506
\n00:35:09,240 –> 00:35:15,840
\nloved, who kept, and who held
\nwould be given service and <\/p>\n

507
\n00:35:15,840 –> 00:35:18,880
\naccess in the House of prayer
\nfor all people. <\/p>\n

508
\n00:35:19,360 –> 00:35:21,720
\nThis is you and me, my brothers
\nand sisters. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:35:23,000 –> 00:35:25,960
\nAnd as he says, he’s going to
\ngather others into the fold. <\/p>\n

510
\n00:35:26,240 –> 00:35:28,280
\nThis is the other fold of John
\n10. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:35:28,840 –> 00:35:31,960
\nThere’s the Jewish fold, and
\nthere’s the fold that you and I <\/p>\n

512
\n00:35:31,960 –> 00:35:36,680
\nare part of.
\nSo in bringing this to a close, <\/p>\n

513
\n00:35:37,120 –> 00:35:41,640
\nbrothers and sisters, Psalm 68
\nhas a lovely prophecy here, <\/p>\n

514
\n00:35:42,760 –> 00:35:47,520
\nwhich in many ways was fulfilled
\nwhen this man of Ethiopia turned<\/p>\n

515
\n00:35:47,520 –> 00:35:52,120
\nto Yahweh in Psalm 68 at verse
\n29. <\/p>\n

516
\n00:35:54,720 –> 00:35:59,800
\nAnd look at the context of it
\nbecause of thy temple at <\/p>\n

517
\n00:35:59,800 –> 00:36:01,680
\nJerusalem.
\nThis is a Psalm of David <\/p>\n

518
\n00:36:01,920 –> 00:36:05,440
\nprophesying the future temple
\nthat Solomon his son would <\/p>\n

519
\n00:36:05,440 –> 00:36:08,160
\nbuild.
\nBut of course it’s it’s precient<\/p>\n

520
\n00:36:08,160 –> 00:36:11,560
\nof the future with Christ
\nbecause of my temple at <\/p>\n

521
\n00:36:11,560 –> 00:36:15,040
\nJerusalem shall kings bring
\npresents unto thee. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:36:15,800 –> 00:36:20,720
\nPrincess shall come out of
\nEgypt, and Ethiopia shall soon <\/p>\n

523
\n00:36:21,480 –> 00:36:27,560
\nstretch out her hands unto God.
\nYou see, God did the first <\/p>\n

524
\n00:36:27,560 –> 00:36:32,680
\nstretching out and Ethiopia has
\nresponded in kind and stretched <\/p>\n

525
\n00:36:32,680 –> 00:36:37,960
\nback to lay hold of the presence
\nand the gift of eternal life <\/p>\n

526
\n00:36:37,960 –> 00:36:44,840
\nthrough the Lord Jesus Christ.
\nAnd Psalm 87 is also says in the<\/p>\n

527
\n00:36:44,840 –> 00:36:48,600
\nend of days when all of these
\nthings, the glorious things are <\/p>\n

528
\n00:36:48,600 –> 00:36:51,080
\nspoken of thee, the city of God,
\nZion. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:36:51,520 –> 00:36:56,440
\nVerse 4, he’s going to make
\nmention of Rahab and Babylon of <\/p>\n

530
\n00:36:56,440 –> 00:37:03,840
\nPhilistia and Tyre with Ethiopia
\nsaying this man was born there. <\/p>\n

531
\n00:37:04,880 –> 00:37:07,680
\nHe was not a citizen, but he’s
\nbeen made a citizen. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:37:08,040 –> 00:37:11,320
\nHe’s been written onto the very
\nwalls of the new temple. <\/p>\n

533
\n00:37:11,840 –> 00:37:16,480
\nHe is intrinsically part of it
\nbecause he sets his affections <\/p>\n

534
\n00:37:16,480 –> 00:37:22,080
\non the things of the name.
\nSo as we come to remember the <\/p>\n

535
\n00:37:22,080 –> 00:37:25,200
\nbread and the wine and our
\nsuffering servant. <\/p>\n

536
\n00:37:25,200 –> 00:37:28,440
\nNow, how does this affect you
\nand me? <\/p>\n

537
\n00:37:30,000 –> 00:37:33,560
\nWell, it’s a very interesting
\nthing because the Ethiopian <\/p>\n

538
\n00:37:33,560 –> 00:37:37,320
\neunuch actually represents you
\nand me in Scripture. <\/p>\n

539
\n00:37:37,320 –> 00:37:42,440
\nMy brothers and sisters, do you
\nknow why Ethiopia? <\/p>\n

540
\n00:37:42,640 –> 00:37:48,000
\nThe name Ethiopia means the
\nplace of sun darkened faces. <\/p>\n

541
\n00:37:48,880 –> 00:37:53,200
\nThe place of sun darkened faces.
\nAnd you know what? <\/p>\n

542
\n00:37:53,800 –> 00:37:57,720
\nThis is exactly what the bride
\nof Christ says of herself. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:37:58,200 –> 00:38:02,880
\nCometh me to the last reference
\nof Song of Solomon chapter one <\/p>\n

544
\n00:38:02,960 –> 00:38:05,920
\nat verse 4.
\nI mean to read to you from the <\/p>\n

545
\n00:38:05,920 –> 00:38:10,480
\nNew King James Version, Song of
\nSolomon chapter one at verse 4. <\/p>\n

546
\n00:38:12,280 –> 00:38:16,440
\nThe bride of Christ is Speaking
\nof her bridegroom, her greater <\/p>\n

547
\n00:38:16,440 –> 00:38:20,160
\nthan Solomon, and she says it’s
\nimportant that Solomon wrote <\/p>\n

548
\n00:38:20,160 –> 00:38:23,920
\nthis as well.
\nJust think of that in verse 4. <\/p>\n

549
\n00:38:24,680 –> 00:38:26,160
\nRightly.
\nDo they love you? <\/p>\n

550
\n00:38:28,000 –> 00:38:32,240
\nI am dark.
\nBut they answer, but lovely. <\/p>\n

551
\n00:38:32,520 –> 00:38:36,920
\nHer daughters of Jerusalem, dark
\nlike the tents of Kedah, like <\/p>\n

552
\n00:38:36,920 –> 00:38:42,280
\nthe curtains of Solomon, do not
\nlook upon me because I am dark, <\/p>\n

553
\n00:38:42,280 –> 00:38:46,440
\nbecause the sun has tanned me.
\nThat’s the meaning of Ethiopia. <\/p>\n

554
\n00:38:48,280 –> 00:38:51,400
\nAnd then she says to her
\nbeloved, wondering where the <\/p>\n

555
\n00:38:51,400 –> 00:38:53,640
\nflock is, that she should
\nassociate herself. <\/p>\n

556
\n00:38:53,680 –> 00:38:58,440
\nTell me, O you whom I love,
\nwhere you feed your flock, where<\/p>\n

557
\n00:38:58,440 –> 00:39:06,440
\nyou make it rest at noon.
\nThe chariot stopped at noon, and<\/p>\n

558
\n00:39:06,440 –> 00:39:08,200
\nhe was drawn into the flock of
\nGod. <\/p>\n

559
\n00:39:09,840 –> 00:39:13,920
\nFor why should I be as one who
\nveils herself by the flocks of <\/p>\n

560
\n00:39:13,920 –> 00:39:18,000
\nyour companions?
\nWhat does the beloved say to <\/p>\n

561
\n00:39:18,000 –> 00:39:24,000
\nthis one?
\nHe says, If you do not know, O <\/p>\n

562
\n00:39:24,000 –> 00:39:29,160
\nfairest among women, follow in
\nthe footsteps of the flock. <\/p>\n

563
\n00:39:29,880 –> 00:39:33,000
\nSo she thought herself uncomely
\nbefore her Lord. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:39:33,760 –> 00:39:38,360
\nHe calls her the fairest among
\nwomen, and it was just to <\/p>\n

565
\n00:39:38,360 –> 00:39:41,320
\nfollow.
\nAnd that’s what we do now, my <\/p>\n

566
\n00:39:41,320 –> 00:39:45,520
\ndear brothers and sisters, we
\nfollow in the same footsteps as <\/p>\n

567
\n00:39:45,520 –> 00:39:50,160
\nwe remember the table of our
\nLord, with the food on the table<\/p>\n

568
\n00:39:51,240 –> 00:39:55,440
\nand the cupbearers, the sitting
\nof her servants of the greatest <\/p>\n

569
\n00:39:55,440 –> 00:39:58,920
\nSolomon.
