1
\n00:00:13,280 –> 00:00:14,680
\nWelcome to good Chris Selfian
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:14,720 –> 00:00:16,000
\nI’m Levi.
\nI’m Chris. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:16,160 –> 00:00:18,400
\nI’m Jason.
\nAnd I’m Brian, thank you for <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:18,400 –> 00:00:21,160
\njoining us this week.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:21,160 –> 00:00:24,680
\ntalk a week to help us get the
\nBible in our Daily News feed. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:24,880 –> 00:00:28,480
\nEach week we post a talk that we
\npreviewed from suggestions sent <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:28,480 –> 00:00:29,920
\nin by listeners from around the
\nworld. <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:30,080 –> 00:00:33,680
\nThen we record a short intro
\nbeforehand as a personalized <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:33,680 –> 00:00:36,480
\nrecommendation to you on why we
\nare sharing the talk. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:36,640 –> 00:00:39,080
\nAnd now?
\nLet’s talk more about this <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:39,080 –> 00:00:51,590
\nweek’s talk.
\nHi everyone, it’s Jason Hensley <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:51,590 –> 00:00:54,070
\nand this week we’re going to be
\nlistening to a class by brother <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:54,070 –> 00:00:57,790
\nSam Bailey given at the
\nCumberland Ecclesia for their <\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:57,790 –> 00:01:02,110
\nspecial effort in 2023.
\nThis is one of the <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:02,110 –> 00:01:06,230
\nrecommendations given to us this
\nwhole series and in listening to<\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:06,230 –> 00:01:09,600
\nthem, I really, really enjoyed
\nthis 4th class. <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:09,800 –> 00:01:13,400
\nAnd one of the reasons that it
\nresonated with me so much is <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:13,400 –> 00:01:16,640
\nbecause at the end of the class,
\nBrother Sam has a big emphasis <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:17,360 –> 00:01:21,320
\non the importance of getting
\ninvolved and doing things in the<\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:21,320 –> 00:01:23,320
\necclesia.
\nHe talks about how much we have <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:23,320 –> 00:01:27,560
\nto volunteer, we have to say,
\nhey, I have this time, what can <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:27,560 –> 00:01:30,400
\nI do with it and why that
\nmatters so much. <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:30,880 –> 00:01:34,320
\nAnd I think sometimes we can
\nreally just get into this way of<\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:34,320 –> 00:01:38,200
\nthinking where we feel like
\ngoing to the ecclesia is meant <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:38,320 –> 00:01:41,880
\nto serve us and meant to build
\nus up. <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:42,200 –> 00:01:45,960
\nAnd while that’s good, right, we
\nshould be built up by the <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:45,960 –> 00:01:51,920
\necclesia, but really our job in
\nthe ecclesia is to serve other <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:51,920 –> 00:01:53,720
\npeople.
\nWe want to be thinking, what can<\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:53,720 –> 00:01:55,640
\nwe do to help these other
\npeople? <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:55,960 –> 00:01:59,000
\nAnd I really felt like Brother
\nSam brought that out in a great <\/p>\n

31
\n00:01:59,000 –> 00:02:02,960
\nway in this class.
\nSo we are jumping here into the <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:02,960 –> 00:02:06,480
\nmiddle of this series on on
\nDeborah and Barrick. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:06,480 –> 00:02:09,240
\nWe’re going to be looking
\nspecifically at the song of <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:09,240 –> 00:02:12,920
\nDeborah in Judges chapter 5.
\nAnd that’s the song where you’re<\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:12,920 –> 00:02:18,320
\nreally going to hear this theme
\ncome out of those who were <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:18,320 –> 00:02:21,000
\nwilling to act and those who
\nweren’t. <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:21,880 –> 00:02:28,160
\nSo I hope you enjoy it.
\nHere it is the tribes response <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:28,840 –> 00:02:32,600
\nby brother Sam Bailey.
\nAll right, so where are we at in<\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:32,600 –> 00:02:34,320
\nour studies?
\nWell, we’ve been taken on a <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:34,320 –> 00:02:37,240
\njourney back in history to see
\nthe times of Deborah and <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:37,240 –> 00:02:39,800
\nBayrack.
\nObviously a time of bloodshed <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:39,800 –> 00:02:44,040
\nand violence marked by a lack of
\nfaithless leadership. <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:44,720 –> 00:02:49,080
\nAnd as such of of that they,
\nthey, they fell it into disarray<\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:49,080 –> 00:02:52,840
\nand turned to idols and God sold
\nthem into the hand of Jaben King<\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:52,840 –> 00:02:54,760
\nCanaan, who mightily oppressed
\nthem. <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:55,280 –> 00:02:59,760
\nAnd so in the distress, they
\nsought God’s help in their <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:59,760 –> 00:03:02,240
\nactivities.
\nAnd of course, God’s going to <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:02,240 –> 00:03:05,640
\nwork through the remarkable
\nwoman in this chapter, both <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:05,640 –> 00:03:09,240
\nDeborah and jail.
\nAnd it’s going to bring about a <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:09,240 –> 00:03:12,400
\nwork amongst the nation
\ninspiring Bayrack to step <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:12,400 –> 00:03:15,600
\nforward in his in his God-given
\nrole as the judge who was <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:15,600 –> 00:03:19,120
\nappointed and to lead the nation
\nand to take captivity captive. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:19,120 –> 00:03:21,920
\nAnd we’ll have a little bit of a
\nlook at that in our exhortation <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:21,920 –> 00:03:25,600
\nin terms of the title.
\nBut we see a woman, Deborah, <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:25,600 –> 00:03:29,080
\nstand up who was the the
\nsupport, the nourisher of the <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:29,080 –> 00:03:32,240
\nnation, the mother in Israel to
\nstand up and guide a failing <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:32,240 –> 00:03:38,640
\nnation to inspire change.
\nAnd we left Bayrek on the <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:38,640 –> 00:03:43,480
\nbattlefield, coming across the
\ngruesome scene with jail with a <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:43,480 –> 00:03:47,200
\nhammer dangling down her side,
\ncovered in blood, opening the <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:47,200 –> 00:03:50,680
\ntent door and ushering Bayrek in
\nand saying, have a look in there<\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:50,680 –> 00:03:53,920
\nbecause in here is I think the
\nman that you seek, right? <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:53,920 –> 00:03:56,760
\nIt must have been such a shock
\nand such a sight. <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:57,720 –> 00:04:02,160
\nAnd so he comes into the tent.
\nAnd as we said in our final <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:02,160 –> 00:04:07,280
\nclosing it remarks, we saw him
\nunderstand for the first time, <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:07,520 –> 00:04:10,160
\nhas not Yahweh gone out before
\nthee? <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:10,360 –> 00:04:14,000
\nAnd he sees that Yahweh will
\nsell Sisera into the hand of a <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:14,000 –> 00:04:16,279
\nwoman.
\nAnd he it all dawns on him that <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:16,279 –> 00:04:20,560
\nGod is in control, that God has
\nthe power, that God can work <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:20,560 –> 00:04:24,160
\nwith anyone.
\nAnd he comes into an <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:24,160 –> 00:04:26,880
\nunderstanding of all of this.
\nAnd it says therefore in verse <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:26,880 –> 00:04:34,080
\n23 of Judges chapter 4.
\nSo God subdued on that day Jabin<\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:34,280 –> 00:04:38,960
\nthe king of Canaan, before the
\nchildren of Israel, in the hand <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:38,960 –> 00:04:41,200
\nof the children of Israel
\nprospered and prevailed against <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:41,200 –> 00:04:45,080
\nJabin king of Canaan, until they
\nhad destroyed Jabin king of <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:45,080 –> 00:04:46,960
\nCanaan.
\nNow brothers and sisters, we <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:46,960 –> 00:04:51,720
\ncould read that very quickly and
\nskip the significance of that <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:52,200 –> 00:04:57,760
\nfew verses because brothers and
\nsisters, who has Beiraf been <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:57,760 –> 00:05:02,520
\nfighting Bayrac wasn’t fighting
\nJabin king of Canaan as such in <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:02,520 –> 00:05:05,960
\nthis story in the previous few
\nverses who had been fighting? <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:05,960 –> 00:05:09,040
\nThe answer was he’d been been
\nfighting Sisera and his entire <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:09,120 –> 00:05:12,160
\narmy.
\nWhy does the record now say so <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:12,160 –> 00:05:16,560
\nGod subdued on that day Jabin
\nking of Canaan. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:16,560 –> 00:05:19,640
\nWell, you see I think what
\nhappens next is remarkable BC <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:20,080 –> 00:05:24,320
\nthe battle against Sisera was
\nactually just a prelude to the <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:24,320 –> 00:05:27,440
\nmain event.
\nIt was the the the battle <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:27,440 –> 00:05:30,360
\nagainst Sisera was the main
\ncause dessert remained. <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:30,600 –> 00:05:33,760
\nAnd it was dessert that was
\nreserved for Jabin, king of <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:33,760 –> 00:05:36,160
\nCanaan.
\nBecause you see, what now <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:36,160 –> 00:05:42,680
\nhappens is Bayrak sees God’s
\nhand amongst the nation and now <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:43,160 –> 00:05:49,040
\nhe’s inspired beyond belief to
\nrally the troops to take back <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:49,040 –> 00:05:54,160
\nthe entire territory that Jabin
\nhad stolen and that they might <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:54,160 –> 00:05:57,160
\nseize their inheritance that
\ntheir parents had failed to <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:57,160 –> 00:06:01,360
\ngrasp.
\nAnd so Javen as a catalyst now <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:01,360 –> 00:06:05,400
\nsees the opportunity to finish
\nonce and for all what his <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:05,400 –> 00:06:09,320
\nparents had failed to achieve.
\nAnd so it says in the record, <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:09,520 –> 00:06:13,640
\nthe hand of the children of
\nIsrael prospered and prevailed. <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:13,640 –> 00:06:18,280
\nAnd really means like it says in
\nthe margin was going they as <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:18,280 –> 00:06:22,400
\nthey were going, they went and
\nit was hard and it was hard <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:22,400 –> 00:06:24,120
\nagainst Jaber, king of Canaan.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:24,120 –> 00:06:27,760
\nYou see, because the initial
\nbattle had been won, but the war<\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:27,840 –> 00:06:31,040
\nwas not over.
\nAnd the Bairac now with the with<\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:31,080 –> 00:06:34,880
\nthe help of the nation of Israel
\nthat now joined him, now <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:34,880 –> 00:06:39,120
\nreverses the 20 year oppression
\nthat they had been mightily <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:39,120 –> 00:06:43,160
\noppressed by.
\nAnd Bairac led his people from <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:43,160 –> 00:06:47,000
\nbeing a hesitant commander to
\nbeing the ultimate leader to <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:47,080 –> 00:06:51,600
\noverthrow Jaben, king of Canaan.
\nIt didn’t end brothers and <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:51,600 –> 00:06:53,440
\nsisters and young people with
\nsister’s death. <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:53,480 –> 00:06:58,280
\nIt ended when they finally had
\ntaken all their faithless <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:58,280 –> 00:07:04,280
\nparents had failed to take.
\nBut I want you to notice <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:04,280 –> 00:07:09,160
\nsomething remarkable because
\nthis is true leadership. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:09,440 –> 00:07:12,880
\nOther sisters, you read
\ncarefully what it says in verse <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:12,880 –> 00:07:18,480
\n23 and 24 again.
\nSo God subdued on that day, you <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:18,480 –> 00:07:23,760
\nsee, they now could see God’s
\nhand, and he subdued the Jabin <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:23,760 –> 00:07:32,600
\nking of Canaan before who?
\nBefore the children of Israel <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:32,600 –> 00:07:36,960
\nand the hand of the children of
\nIsrael prospered. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:37,560 –> 00:07:40,440
\nYou see, this wasn’t Bairat
\nbrothers and sisters and young <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:40,440 –> 00:07:43,720
\npeople, of course Bayreq’s
\nthere, of course Deborah’s <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:43,720 –> 00:07:47,240
\nthere.
\nBut Bayreq’s leadership had now <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:47,240 –> 00:07:53,040
\ninspired a nation to stand up
\nthemselves and to take control. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:53,600 –> 00:07:56,520
\nSee the power of what we’re
\nreading in Genesis and Judges <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:56,520 –> 00:07:59,800
\nchapter 4.
\nYou see, where’s Bayreq in the <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:59,800 –> 00:08:01,440
\nverse?
\nThe answer was, well, he was <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:01,440 –> 00:08:04,080
\nleading them.
\nBut the Record wants to point <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:04,080 –> 00:08:08,480
\nout for us that Bayreq had
\nlearnt his lesson on what <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:08,480 –> 00:08:11,440
\nleadership was all about, and
\nthe children of Israel had <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:11,440 –> 00:08:14,280
\nunderstood their role in what it
\nwas all about because they <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:14,280 –> 00:08:18,160
\nstepped forward like Bayrek
\ncould step forward and execute <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:18,360 –> 00:08:22,560
\nexactly what God wanted.
\nBayrek had learned the <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:22,560 –> 00:08:26,520
\nfundamental lesson of true
\nleadership, hadn’t he? <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:27,120 –> 00:08:30,800
\nThat true leadership is all
\nabout service, not glory. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:32,400 –> 00:08:35,240
\nHe had led his people.
\nDeborah and Yahweh taught <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:35,240 –> 00:08:38,919
\nBayrack on that day that in
\norder for God to be honoured, <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:39,039 –> 00:08:43,720
\nfor order God to be glorified,
\nself, human pride and human <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:43,720 –> 00:08:47,240
\nachievement had to be taken to a
\nback seat and thrown under the <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:47,240 –> 00:08:51,720
\nbus, brought under subjection so
\nthat others might be motivated <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:51,720 –> 00:08:54,120
\nto lead, so that others might
\ntake their role and <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:54,120 –> 00:08:56,840
\nresponsibility, so that others
\nmight understand the purpose of <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:56,840 –> 00:09:00,040
\nGod.
\nYou see, true leadership is <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:00,040 –> 00:09:04,600
\nabout service, not glory, and to
\nBayrack’s credit, brothers and <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:04,600 –> 00:09:07,920
\nsisters and young people, he
\nunderstood that for the first <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:07,920 –> 00:09:11,760
\ntime, it wasn’t about him.
\nBayrack told the whole thing was<\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:11,760 –> 00:09:17,160
\nabout him at the beginning, but
\nnow everything was obvious and <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:17,160 –> 00:09:19,280
\nmotivated by Yahweh’s
\ndeliverance. <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:19,280 –> 00:09:24,200
\nOn that day, He steps aside as
\nhe leads the nation and they <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:24,200 –> 00:09:28,000
\ntake their position.
\nIt’s a remarkable story, isn’t <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:28,000 –> 00:09:29,360
\nit?
\nBrothers and sisters of what <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:29,360 –> 00:09:31,680
\ntrue leadership can really do
\nand inspire. <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:33,840 –> 00:09:38,040
\nAnd so now Deborah and Bayrick
\ncome back and judges Chapter 5 <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:38,560 –> 00:09:42,200
\nafter the the battle against
\nJabin, King of Canaan, after <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:42,200 –> 00:09:43,560
\nthey had seized their
\ninheritance. <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:43,560 –> 00:09:47,400
\nAnd Deborah and Bayrack sing a
\nsong fully inspired by their <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:47,400 –> 00:09:50,760
\nvictory over both Sisera and all
\nhis hosts, and narrow against <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:50,800 –> 00:09:53,080
\nover Jabin and his entire
\nempire. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:53,320 –> 00:09:56,480
\nHaving secured all that
\nterritory, they come back to <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:56,520 –> 00:10:00,480
\nopen their mouth and to praise
\ntheir God and to bless the <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:00,480 –> 00:10:04,440
\npeople that had offered
\nthemselves willingly in God’s <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:04,440 –> 00:10:08,440
\nservice.
\nAnd this song is a both song of <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:08,440 –> 00:10:10,360
\npraise.
\nPraise to God for what he <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:10,360 –> 00:10:13,640
\naccomplished.
\nIt was a song of thanks, Thanks <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:13,640 –> 00:10:16,720
\nto the brethren who volunteered
\nand jeopardised their lives. <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:17,160 –> 00:10:20,960
\nIt’s going to be a song of
\nreprimand where reprimanding <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:20,960 –> 00:10:23,800
\nthose who refused and ignored to
\nhelp their brethren. <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:24,120 –> 00:10:26,840
\nIt’s going to be a song of
\nblessing to bless jail for her <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:26,840 –> 00:10:29,720
\ncourage and her zeal.
\nAnd it’s going to be a finally <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:29,720 –> 00:10:33,440
\nat the very end of petition,
\nrequesting for God’s enemies to <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:33,440 –> 00:10:38,440
\nbe annihilated into the support
\nall those who fight to seize <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:38,440 –> 00:10:40,920
\ntheir inheritance.
\nAnd that’s really the breakdown <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:40,920 –> 00:10:44,120
\nof the song buzzing sisters,
\npraise, thanks, reprimand, <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:44,120 –> 00:10:47,280
\nblessing and petition.
\nAnd so we’re introduced in verse<\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:47,280 –> 00:10:49,480
\n2 to the theme of volunteer
\nleadership. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:51,160 –> 00:10:54,080
\nAnd in verse three to five,
\nwe’re going to see the power of <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:54,080 –> 00:10:59,080
\nGod’s presence like in times of
\nold, like in past times. <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:00,040 –> 00:11:02,760
\nAnd then verses 6 to 8, we’re
\ngoing to see the context that <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:02,760 –> 00:11:04,920
\nhave arrived, that the battles
\nnestled within. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:04,920 –> 00:11:06,280
\nWhat was it like during the
\ntime? <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:06,280 –> 00:11:09,600
\nSo what was it so remarkable
\nabout their work and their <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:09,600 –> 00:11:12,320
\nachievement?
\nThen we’re going to see the <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:12,320 –> 00:11:15,560
\nblessing that Deborah gives and
\nBayrack gives for those that <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:15,560 –> 00:11:20,120
\nvolunteered and the cursing.
\nTherefore, in verses 15 to 20, <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:20,120 –> 00:11:23,840
\nthree of those that did not, the
\nslackers that chose to ignore <\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:23,840 –> 00:11:27,920
\nthe call.
\nAnd verses 24 to 27 is the <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:27,920 –> 00:11:30,560
\nblessing for jail’s heroic
\nactions. <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:30,840 –> 00:11:34,320
\nVerses 28 to 30 is the picture
\nof the ultimate destruction of <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:34,320 –> 00:11:37,280
\nCaesar’s bum, which we’ll
\nconsider on Thursday night. <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:37,880 –> 00:11:42,000
\nAnd then finally, the summary
\nthat God might totally support <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:42,000 –> 00:11:45,320
\nall those who fought their
\nenemies. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:47,920 –> 00:11:54,080
\nAnd so we pick up the story in
\nthis song in verse one then sang<\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:54,640 –> 00:11:59,000
\nDeborah and Bayrak, the son of
\nAbenom on that same on that day <\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:59,000 –> 00:12:06,160
\nsaying praise ye Yahweh for the
\navenging of Israel when the <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:06,160 –> 00:12:09,120
\npeople willingly offered
\nthemselves. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:10,240 –> 00:12:13,720
\nDo you know we’ll come back to
\nthis if you want this breakdown,<\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:13,720 –> 00:12:17,280
\nwe’ll put it up at the end.
\nOK, So I’ll carry on. <\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:17,480 –> 00:12:20,040
\nOtherwise, we might be here a
\nbit later than we need to, and I<\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:20,040 –> 00:12:21,760
\nwant to stick to time tonight if
\nwe can. <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:21,760 –> 00:12:26,760
\nSo there’s a connection between
\nthe leadership and the <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:26,760 –> 00:12:30,280
\nvolunteers and for how it work,
\nyou see. <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:30,280 –> 00:12:33,440
\nSo praise Yahweh for the
\navenging of Israel when the <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:33,440 –> 00:12:35,760
\npeople willingly offered
\nthemselves. <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:35,760 –> 00:12:40,800
\nAnd it’s better translated for
\nthe revealing of leadership in <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:40,840 –> 00:12:46,240
\nIsrael, for the volunteering of
\nthe people. <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:47,160 –> 00:12:49,560
\nIt’s better translated that way
\nfor the revealing of leadership <\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:49,560 –> 00:12:51,680
\nin Israel, for the volunteering
\nof the people. <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:51,680 –> 00:12:54,280
\nAnd so hopefully you can see
\nthat I’m not just making it up <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:54,280 –> 00:12:56,600
\nthat this whole thing’s about
\nleadership because Deborah’s <\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:56,840 –> 00:12:58,840
\ntelling us exactly that that was
\na challenge. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:12:58,840 –> 00:13:00,800
\nThat was the issue.
\nIt’s all about leadership. <\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:01,040 –> 00:13:05,440
\nAnd what God did on this in this
\nparticular occasion is reveal <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:05,440 –> 00:13:07,560
\nthe leadership that was required
\namongst the people. <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:07,680 –> 00:13:10,280
\nAnd they responded by
\nvolunteering. <\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:10,280 –> 00:13:14,320
\nAnd Deborah sees these two
\nthings go hand in hand together <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:14,560 –> 00:13:17,080
\nas to how this victory was
\nactually accomplished. <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:17,440 –> 00:13:20,920
\nAnd she wants to thank or they
\nboth want to thank Yahweh, that <\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:20,920 –> 00:13:24,960
\nin this leadership vacuum that
\nGod had supported people to <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:24,960 –> 00:13:29,680
\nstand up, to inspire one another
\nso that they volunteered and a <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:29,680 –> 00:13:32,000
\nresponse amongst His people
\noccurred. <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:32,000 –> 00:13:36,920
\nAnd what was the thing that she
\nwas so thankful for outside of <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:36,920 –> 00:13:41,240
\njust God, but that the people
\nwillingly offered themselves? <\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:41,760 –> 00:13:44,600
\nYou see, it was when leadership
\nwas restored and demonstrated <\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:44,600 –> 00:13:49,200
\nthat faithful examples also came
\nup of courage and that stirred a<\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:49,200 –> 00:13:52,920
\nresponse amongst the people that
\nwillingly gave themselves. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:13:55,080 –> 00:13:56,240
\nAnd I want you to notice
\nsomething. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:13:56,240 –> 00:13:59,360
\nThose are sisters.
\nLook what she sees when the <\/p>\n

223
\n00:13:59,360 –> 00:14:02,800
\npeople, she praised the Yahweh
\nfor the avenging of Israel, when<\/p>\n

224
\n00:14:02,800 –> 00:14:04,920
\nthe people willingly offered
\nthemselves. <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:04,920 –> 00:14:07,680
\nYou see, we’ve got to read that
\na little bit carefully because <\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:07,680 –> 00:14:11,320
\nit means more than what it sees.
\nBecause when it sees they <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:11,320 –> 00:14:14,560
\noffered themselves, they didn’t
\njust volunteer. <\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:17,240 –> 00:14:19,080
\nWhat does it mean that they
\noffered themselves? <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:19,080 –> 00:14:22,360
\nThey didn’t just volunteer.
\nThat means they volunteered <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:22,360 –> 00:14:25,680
\ntheir lives.
\nThat’s what it really means. <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:26,120 –> 00:14:29,920
\nThey volunteered their they
\nwillingly offered themselves. <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:30,200 –> 00:14:33,680
\nThey put themselves up as a
\nsacrifice. <\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:35,560 –> 00:14:39,000
\nThey willingly gave themselves,
\nsays Deborah and Bayrek. <\/p>\n

234
\n00:14:40,360 –> 00:14:42,600
\nAnd the point among the sisters
\nis that Deborah and Bayrack and <\/p>\n

235
\n00:14:42,600 –> 00:14:47,680
\nJB’s example had inspired others
\nto stand up in the to join that <\/p>\n

236
\n00:14:47,680 –> 00:14:52,040
\nfight to eradicate Jabin’s army
\nand restore the the control of <\/p>\n

237
\n00:14:52,040 –> 00:14:54,360
\nthe territory that they had
\nlost. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:14:56,240 –> 00:15:00,680
\nAnd I want you to notice
\ncarefully who Deborah and <\/p>\n

239
\n00:15:00,680 –> 00:15:04,520
\nBayrack are singing the song to.
\nWho are they singing the song <\/p>\n

240
\n00:15:04,520 –> 00:15:09,920
\nto?
\nVerse 3 here, O ye kings and <\/p>\n

241
\n00:15:09,920 –> 00:15:15,720
\ngive ear, O ye Princess, even I,
\nI will sing unto Yahweh, I will <\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:15,720 –> 00:15:19,840
\nsing praise to Yahweh.
\nElohim of Israel. <\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:19,840 –> 00:15:23,960
\nWho’s she singing to?
\nTo kings and to Princess. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:15:23,960 –> 00:15:29,920
\nNow hang on a minute.
\nThere’s no kings in Israel at <\/p>\n

245
\n00:15:29,920 –> 00:15:33,400
\nthis time.
\nTherefore there’s no Princess in<\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:33,400 –> 00:15:37,600
\nIsrael at this time.
\nSo who’s she singing to? <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:37,600 –> 00:15:44,560
\nBrother and sisters, well I
\nthink that Deborah Vayrak were <\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:44,560 –> 00:15:52,960
\nsinging not to the people of
\nIsrael, but a warning to every <\/p>\n

249
\n00:15:53,000 –> 00:15:58,800
\nother neighbouring oppressive
\nnation that their kings and <\/p>\n

250
\n00:15:58,800 –> 00:16:01,520
\ntheir Princess might listen up
\nto what was about to hit them. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:16:01,520 –> 00:16:05,520
\nNext.
\nThey wanted them and all the <\/p>\n

252
\n00:16:05,560 –> 00:16:09,520
\nenemies of Yahweh to stand up
\nand be ready because oh boy, <\/p>\n

253
\n00:16:09,520 –> 00:16:10,840
\nthis was coming to their
\nterritory. <\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:10,840 –> 00:16:15,240
\nNext.
\nThey wanted to inspire all the <\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:15,280 –> 00:16:19,880
\nothers tribes across the nation
\nof Israel to fulfil the mission <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:19,880 –> 00:16:23,440
\nthat they’d failed to finish and
\nJoshua 23 and judges won to <\/p>\n

257
\n00:16:23,440 –> 00:16:26,560
\nseize their inheritance
\ncompletely. <\/p>\n

258
\n00:16:28,960 –> 00:16:31,120
\nDeborah and Berek wanted to put
\nthe kings and Princess of the <\/p>\n

259
\n00:16:31,120 –> 00:16:35,200
\nPhilistines, the Canaanites, the
\nSidonians and the Hivites on <\/p>\n

260
\n00:16:35,200 –> 00:16:37,880
\nnotice because their days were
\nnumbered. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:39,440 –> 00:16:41,680
\nDo you know that’s true?
\nYou know how I know that’s true?<\/p>\n

262
\n00:16:41,680 –> 00:16:44,600
\nBrothers and sisters, you turn
\nto the last verse of the song. <\/p>\n

263
\n00:16:45,200 –> 00:16:47,320
\nLook what Deborah says is he
\nfinishes the song. <\/p>\n

264
\n00:16:49,960 –> 00:16:59,000
\nSo let all thine enemies perish,
\nO Yahweh, but let them that love<\/p>\n

265
\n00:16:59,000 –> 00:17:03,240
\nhim be as the Son when he goes
\nforth in his might. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:17:04,040 –> 00:17:07,760
\nYou see, this song wasn’t a song
\nsung to the nation of Israel. <\/p>\n

267
\n00:17:07,760 –> 00:17:12,000
\nThis was a song sung to all the
\nnations around them. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:17:12,920 –> 00:17:16,599
\nThere’s a warning to what was
\nabout to be seen on the back <\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:16,599 –> 00:17:20,359
\ndoor.
\nIf only this inspiration might <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:20,359 –> 00:17:26,440
\noccur that Judah and and
\nBenjamin might continue the <\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:26,440 –> 00:17:29,440
\nfight, and that all the rest of
\nthe nations might now roll back <\/p>\n

272
\n00:17:29,440 –> 00:17:35,880
\non their inheritances.
\nAnd the singing to Yahweh Elohim<\/p>\n

273
\n00:17:35,880 –> 00:17:39,520
\nof Israel, the memorial name of
\nYahweh, the memorial name that <\/p>\n

274
\n00:17:39,520 –> 00:17:44,720
\nrepresented God’s faithfulness
\nto maintain His promises and the<\/p>\n

275
\n00:17:44,720 –> 00:17:47,040
\nfact that He would protect His
\npeople from destruction. <\/p>\n

276
\n00:17:47,440 –> 00:17:53,760
\nYahweh, Elohim of Israel, given
\nat the burning Bush, that Israel<\/p>\n

277
\n00:17:53,760 –> 00:18:00,560
\nwould never be consumed.
\nAnd so now, brothers and <\/p>\n

278
\n00:18:00,560 –> 00:18:04,520
\nsisters, Deborah and Bayrek
\naddress God Himself. <\/p>\n

279
\n00:18:04,520 –> 00:18:08,440
\nVerse 4.
\nYahweh, they say, when thou <\/p>\n

280
\n00:18:08,440 –> 00:18:12,360
\nwintest out of seer, when thou
\nmarchest out of the field of <\/p>\n

281
\n00:18:12,360 –> 00:18:16,360
\nEdom.
\nThe earth trembled, and the <\/p>\n

282
\n00:18:16,360 –> 00:18:18,960
\nheavens dropped in the clouds,
\nthough they’d also dropped water<\/p>\n

283
\n00:18:18,960 –> 00:18:23,120
\nin the mountains mounted from
\nbefore Yahweh, even that Sinai, <\/p>\n

284
\n00:18:23,400 –> 00:18:27,320
\nfrom before Yahweh, Elohim of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

285
\n00:18:27,320 –> 00:18:29,880
\nAnd Deborah now builds a picture
\nof what had happened as God <\/p>\n

286
\n00:18:29,880 –> 00:18:35,280
\narrives at Mount Tabor.
\nAnd yet in a way, brothers and <\/p>\n

287
\n00:18:35,280 –> 00:18:39,120
\nsisters, as we saw in our last
\nclass, she’s alluding to another<\/p>\n

288
\n00:18:39,120 –> 00:18:42,200
\nsong of another remarkable
\nleader in Israel. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:18:42,200 –> 00:18:46,960
\nAnd the song of Moses in
\nDeuteronian, chapter 33. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:18:47,000 –> 00:18:49,480
\nI want you to come back with me
\nnow to Deuteronomy chapter 33. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:18:49,480 –> 00:18:53,520
\nAnd I’m going to show you how
\nDeborah is using the song of <\/p>\n

292
\n00:18:53,520 –> 00:18:58,160
\nMoses and the and the
\nenvironment and the context to <\/p>\n

293
\n00:18:58,160 –> 00:19:02,720
\nwhich Moses sings the song in
\nthe way in which Deborah sees <\/p>\n

294
\n00:19:02,720 –> 00:19:10,080
\nhow this all links as part of
\nGod’s purpose, Deuteronomy 33. <\/p>\n

295
\n00:19:17,120 –> 00:19:19,040
\nWhat’s the context of
\nDeuteronomy 33? <\/p>\n

296
\n00:19:19,040 –> 00:19:23,840
\nDoesn’t it says this?
\nWell, Jeremy 32 has got Moses <\/p>\n

297
\n00:19:24,280 –> 00:19:28,520
\njust finishing singing The
\nNation and and just talking <\/p>\n

298
\n00:19:28,520 –> 00:19:32,360
\nabout the situation at the end
\nof the wilderness wanderings on <\/p>\n

299
\n00:19:32,360 –> 00:19:33,680
\nthe borders of the promised
\nland. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:19:33,680 –> 00:19:36,680
\nAnd he’s just finished telling
\nthem what was going to happen. <\/p>\n

301
\n00:19:36,680 –> 00:19:39,800
\nHe’s been telling them about
\ntheir deliverance from Egypt, <\/p>\n

302
\n00:19:40,280 –> 00:19:43,640
\nthe way in which God provided
\nfor provided for them in the <\/p>\n

303
\n00:19:43,640 –> 00:19:47,320
\nfood and how that he brought
\nthem into a fruitful land and <\/p>\n

304
\n00:19:47,320 –> 00:19:49,680
\nthe promotion, therefore, of
\nIsrael was going to be as the <\/p>\n

305
\n00:19:49,680 –> 00:19:52,520
\nhead of the nations and that
\nthey were going to ride on the <\/p>\n

306
\n00:19:52,520 –> 00:19:54,800
\nhigh places of the earth as
\nYahweh’s people. <\/p>\n

307
\n00:19:54,800 –> 00:19:58,760
\nAnd that’s the the point of
\nchapter 32 is look at what God <\/p>\n

308
\n00:19:58,760 –> 00:20:03,240
\ncan do for you and he turns in
\nJeremy 33. <\/p>\n

309
\n00:20:03,760 –> 00:20:05,680
\nAnd he tends to bless the
\npeople. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:20:05,680 –> 00:20:09,240
\nLook what he says in verse one.
\nAnd this is the blessing, where <\/p>\n

311
\n00:20:09,240 –> 00:20:12,000
\nwith Moses the man of God
\nblesses the children of Israel <\/p>\n

312
\n00:20:12,000 –> 00:20:13,640
\nbefore his death.
\nAnd what does he say? <\/p>\n

313
\n00:20:14,720 –> 00:20:20,760
\nAnd he said, Yahweh came from
\nMount Sinai, and rose up from <\/p>\n

314
\n00:20:20,760 –> 00:20:25,880
\nfrom seer unto them.
\nHe shined forth from Mount <\/p>\n

315
\n00:20:25,880 –> 00:20:32,800
\nProran and came with 10,000 of
\nhis Saints, and from his right <\/p>\n

316
\n00:20:32,800 –> 00:20:38,320
\nhand went a fiery law for them.
\nYeah, he loved the people. <\/p>\n

317
\n00:20:38,360 –> 00:20:43,560
\nAll his Saints are in thy hand,
\nand they sat down at thy feet. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:20:43,760 –> 00:20:47,360
\nEveryone shall receive of thy
\nwords. <\/p>\n

319
\n00:20:48,520 –> 00:20:51,320
\nAnd So what Moses does, brother
\nand sisters, is he blesses the <\/p>\n

320
\n00:20:51,320 –> 00:20:54,920
\npeople.
\nHe says, Oh, I see Israel about <\/p>\n

321
\n00:20:54,920 –> 00:20:58,640
\nto embark upon the escapades
\namongst the nation right there <\/p>\n

322
\n00:20:58,640 –> 00:21:00,720
\nthey are on the borders of the
\npromised land and he sees them <\/p>\n

323
\n00:21:00,920 –> 00:21:05,440
\nabout to burst out.
\nHe says to them, He says, oh <\/p>\n

324
\n00:21:05,520 –> 00:21:09,280
\nyou’re this, I see this working
\nin exactly the same way. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:21:09,800 –> 00:21:13,560
\nAs they came out of Egypt they
\nthey were going to burst forth <\/p>\n

326
\n00:21:13,800 –> 00:21:17,280
\nin full glory, even as Yahweh
\ncame from Mount Sier and <\/p>\n

327
\n00:21:17,280 –> 00:21:22,640
\ndescended upon Mount Sinai and
\nhe came with 10,000 of Saints in<\/p>\n

328
\n00:21:22,640 –> 00:21:26,240
\nfull glory to give them the
\nfiery law. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:21:27,200 –> 00:21:30,800
\nNow we see brothers and sisters,
\nwhy perhaps God asks Bayrak to <\/p>\n

330
\n00:21:30,800 –> 00:21:35,920
\ngo and collect.
\nWhy 10,000 men and go up to the <\/p>\n

331
\n00:21:35,920 –> 00:21:38,960
\ntop of Mount Table?
\nWhy did God ask Bayrak to <\/p>\n

332
\n00:21:38,960 –> 00:21:42,320
\ncollect 10,000 men?
\nThe answer was, brothers and <\/p>\n

333
\n00:21:42,320 –> 00:21:46,760
\nsisters, is that Deborah and
\nBayrak saw what transpired as <\/p>\n

334
\n00:21:46,760 –> 00:21:52,720
\nthe nation left the bondage of
\nEgypt and they threw off the <\/p>\n

335
\n00:21:52,720 –> 00:21:59,080
\nshackles of the Pharaoh that had
\noppressed them and pursued <\/p>\n

336
\n00:21:59,120 –> 00:22:03,360
\nacross the wilderness into
\nseizing their inheritance. <\/p>\n

337
\n00:22:03,720 –> 00:22:09,160
\nAs this flood that came out and
\nthe majesty and the splendor <\/p>\n

338
\n00:22:09,160 –> 00:22:13,440
\nthat came as Yahweh was seen and
\nHis Saints was going to be seen <\/p>\n

339
\n00:22:13,440 –> 00:22:17,280
\nonce more amongst the nation to
\nsave His people and that God <\/p>\n

340
\n00:22:17,280 –> 00:22:20,120
\nwould restore His law amongst
\nthem once again. <\/p>\n

341
\n00:22:21,720 –> 00:22:23,360
\nThat’s how they received the
\nsong. <\/p>\n

342
\n00:22:23,360 –> 00:22:25,480
\nYou see the parallel as stark,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n

343
\n00:22:27,440 –> 00:22:29,400
\nHere’s the similarities to the
\nExodus. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:22:29,960 –> 00:22:32,080
\nYou see Judges chapter 4 and
\nverse 3. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:22:32,080 –> 00:22:35,440
\nThe people’s deliverance occurs
\nfrom bondage and oppression. <\/p>\n

346
\n00:22:35,640 –> 00:22:38,240
\nIt’s exactly the same.
\nIn the time of Moses. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:22:38,440 –> 00:22:42,720
\nThere was a reluctance of a
\nleader to respond, just as it <\/p>\n

348
\n00:22:42,720 –> 00:22:48,720
\nwas in the time of Bayrak, and
\nas with Moses and Aaron, it was <\/p>\n

349
\n00:22:48,720 –> 00:22:51,960
\ntherefore the support that would
\nbe provided for them in the <\/p>\n

350
\n00:22:51,960 –> 00:22:56,320
\nwilderness by the Kenites.
\nIn exactly the same way as the <\/p>\n

351
\n00:22:56,320 –> 00:22:58,920
\nstory of Judges.
\nShe saw that there would be a <\/p>\n

352
\n00:22:58,920 –> 00:23:03,240
\ndeliverance from horsemen and
\nChariots and Chariots being <\/p>\n

353
\n00:23:03,240 –> 00:23:09,600
\nrendered useless by water just
\nlike it was in the Exodus, and <\/p>\n

354
\n00:23:09,600 –> 00:23:12,160
\nthat God’s promise of
\ndeliverance would actually <\/p>\n

355
\n00:23:12,160 –> 00:23:14,760
\nhappen.
\nAnd there was foretold just like<\/p>\n

356
\n00:23:14,760 –> 00:23:18,240
\nit had done during the time of
\nMoses as in the time of Bayrak. <\/p>\n

357
\n00:23:18,240 –> 00:23:22,120
\nAnd now there was complete
\ndestruction on that battlefield.<\/p>\n

358
\n00:23:22,280 –> 00:23:26,000
\nThere was not a man left, quote
\nUN quote. <\/p>\n

359
\n00:23:26,000 –> 00:23:29,600
\nExodus 14, verse 28.
\nYou couldn’t miss it, brothers <\/p>\n

360
\n00:23:29,600 –> 00:23:31,400
\nand sisters, see Deborah and
\nBayrak. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:23:31,720 –> 00:23:36,960
\nSee all of the story of Judges
\n4:00 and 5:00 as a repeat, a <\/p>\n

362
\n00:23:36,960 –> 00:23:42,080
\nrinse and repeat by God of the
\nevents of Yahweh’s majestic <\/p>\n

363
\n00:23:42,080 –> 00:23:46,120
\ndeliverance in the establishment
\nof His Kingdom and law and order<\/p>\n

364
\n00:23:46,120 –> 00:23:48,400
\nbeing put once more amongst His
\npeople. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:23:51,560 –> 00:23:54,600
\nIt’s remark wasn’t by the
\nsisters what Deborah and Bayrack<\/p>\n

366
\n00:23:54,600 –> 00:23:56,400
\ncould see as they looked at the
\nstory. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:23:56,400 –> 00:24:03,080
\nWe see it all over again that
\nGod will always look out for His<\/p>\n

368
\n00:24:03,080 –> 00:24:07,720
\npeople.
\nAnd back in the story in Judges <\/p>\n

369
\n00:24:07,720 –> 00:24:11,680
\nchapter 5, Deborah and Berak
\nlook back at the nation. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:24:13,880 –> 00:24:20,040
\nAnd I wanted to compare both the
\nstate that they saw that Yahweh <\/p>\n

371
\n00:24:20,040 –> 00:24:25,040
\nwould create and manage for them
\nversus the state that they had <\/p>\n

372
\n00:24:25,040 –> 00:24:26,640
\nbeen in.
\nAnd you couldn’t get a more <\/p>\n

373
\n00:24:26,640 –> 00:24:31,240
\nstark contrast, could you?
\nBecause they come back in Judges<\/p>\n

374
\n00:24:31,240 –> 00:24:36,320
\nchapter 4 and verse 6, when they
\ngo in the days of Shamgar the <\/p>\n

375
\n00:24:36,320 –> 00:24:39,680
\nson of Ainath, in the days of
\njail, the highways are <\/p>\n

376
\n00:24:39,680 –> 00:24:42,160
\nunoccupied.
\nThe travellers walked through <\/p>\n

377
\n00:24:42,160 –> 00:24:45,720
\nbyways, leadership ceased.
\nOr the inhabitants of the <\/p>\n

378
\n00:24:45,720 –> 00:24:47,800
\nvillages, the word villages as
\nchief of rulers. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:24:47,800 –> 00:24:50,320
\nThere was no rulership seen in
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

380
\n00:24:50,440 –> 00:24:55,920
\nThey ceased all over the land
\nuntil that I, Deborah arose. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:24:55,920 –> 00:25:01,000
\nI arose a mother in Israel.
\nThere was no one to be seen, no <\/p>\n

382
\n00:25:01,120 –> 00:25:07,160
\nvolunteers, no people, no
\nSaints, no 10,000 men, no Yahweh<\/p>\n

383
\n00:25:07,160 –> 00:25:10,840
\nmanifesto, No, it was a disaster
\nwhat they saw. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:25:12,440 –> 00:25:14,680
\nHighways were empty, no
\ntravellers could be seen, <\/p>\n

385
\n00:25:14,760 –> 00:25:20,760
\neveryone was hiding.
\nIt was so bad that any form of <\/p>\n

386
\n00:25:20,760 –> 00:25:22,920
\nleadership had ceased until
\nDeborah stood up. <\/p>\n

387
\n00:25:24,000 –> 00:25:26,640
\nThe mother in Israel, as we’ve
\nalready looked at before, the <\/p>\n

388
\n00:25:26,640 –> 00:25:30,160
\nnourisher of the nation.
\nAnd so Deborah saw that need for<\/p>\n

389
\n00:25:30,160 –> 00:25:33,360
\nleadership.
\nExamples of faith were trying to<\/p>\n

390
\n00:25:33,360 –> 00:25:36,560
\nstand, stand up, Sham Guard
\nstood up and Sloon, me and Ehad <\/p>\n

391
\n00:25:36,560 –> 00:25:38,240
\nhad stood up.
\nBut the nation had fallen into <\/p>\n

392
\n00:25:38,240 –> 00:25:39,720
\ndisarray.
\nNo one following. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:25:39,840 –> 00:25:44,040
\nThe people were unresponsive.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n

394
\n00:25:44,200 –> 00:25:46,640
\nWhy were they unresponsible?
\nVerse 8 tears. <\/p>\n

395
\n00:25:47,120 –> 00:25:50,160
\nWell, they’d chosen new gods.
\nThey went following Yahweh <\/p>\n

396
\n00:25:50,160 –> 00:25:54,760
\nElohim of Israel, They’d chosen
\nnew gods and there was war in <\/p>\n

397
\n00:25:54,760 –> 00:25:58,560
\nthe gates.
\nThey’d chosen new Goss. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:25:58,560 –> 00:26:02,720
\nThey’d disregarded the warning
\nof Moses in Jeremy 32 verses 16 <\/p>\n

399
\n00:26:02,720 –> 00:26:07,000
\nto 21 where he had said to them,
\nyou be careful else and not <\/p>\n

400
\n00:26:07,000 –> 00:26:09,600
\ndon’t turn to idolatry else
\nthere’ll be war amongst you. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:26:09,640 –> 00:26:14,040
\nSure enough, bang, here it was,
\nwar was now there in their <\/p>\n

402
\n00:26:14,040 –> 00:26:16,760
\ngates.
\nBrothers and sisters is a <\/p>\n

403
\n00:26:16,760 –> 00:26:18,160
\nmassive lesson for us, isn’t
\nthere? <\/p>\n

404
\n00:26:18,160 –> 00:26:22,240
\nAnd that if we’re not
\ncontributing to our ecclesiades <\/p>\n

405
\n00:26:22,600 –> 00:26:30,920
\nand volunteering, we have to ask
\nourselves the question, why not?<\/p>\n

406
\n00:26:33,520 –> 00:26:36,000
\nIf we’re not doing anything in
\nAraclesia, you have to cross the<\/p>\n

407
\n00:26:36,000 –> 00:26:39,880
\nquestion, why not?
\nDo you know the number one <\/p>\n

408
\n00:26:39,880 –> 00:26:45,320
\nreason why we often don’t
\nvolunteer is, quite simply, <\/p>\n

409
\n00:26:45,320 –> 00:26:52,280
\nwe’re serving ourselves.
\nWe’re not serving others and <\/p>\n

410
\n00:26:52,280 –> 00:26:54,320
\nwe’ve got to remove self and
\nwe’ve got to serve. <\/p>\n

411
\n00:26:54,320 –> 00:26:58,800
\nWe’ve got to check which God
\nwe’re actually serving. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:27:00,680 –> 00:27:03,800
\nWhat are we doing in Aracleses,
\nother sisters and young people <\/p>\n

413
\n00:27:03,800 –> 00:27:06,480
\nif they’re not contributing to
\nAracleses? <\/p>\n

414
\n00:27:06,480 –> 00:27:14,240
\nThe answer is we’re choosing new
\nGods and there will be war in <\/p>\n

415
\n00:27:14,240 –> 00:27:21,040
\nthe gate.
\nThere’s another reason for the <\/p>\n

416
\n00:27:21,040 –> 00:27:25,360
\nreluctance to volunteer.
\nWhat does it say in verse 8? <\/p>\n

417
\n00:27:26,560 –> 00:27:29,320
\nThey chose New Gods.
\nThere was war in the gates. <\/p>\n

418
\n00:27:29,920 –> 00:27:33,440
\nWas there a shield or a spear
\nseen amongst 40,000 in Israel? <\/p>\n

419
\n00:27:34,800 –> 00:27:39,360
\nThey had no weapons of war.
\nAs we said, they were fighting <\/p>\n

420
\n00:27:39,480 –> 00:27:45,680
\ntanks with toothpicks.
\nWhy was there no Why was there <\/p>\n

421
\n00:27:45,680 –> 00:27:48,480
\nno weapons of war amongst the
\nnation? <\/p>\n

422
\n00:27:49,800 –> 00:27:51,920
\nWe know why because they’re
\nchosen other gods. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:27:51,920 –> 00:27:54,920
\nBut they’re simple because in
\nthe face of this sort of <\/p>\n

424
\n00:27:54,920 –> 00:27:59,040
\nopposition and challenge, they
\nstepped up to show great <\/p>\n

425
\n00:27:59,040 –> 00:28:01,960
\nleadership and gave of
\nthemselves. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:28:01,960 –> 00:28:07,800
\nThey gave their lives willingly.
\nAnd look at who these people <\/p>\n

427
\n00:28:07,800 –> 00:28:09,000
\nwere.
\nBell and sisters. <\/p>\n

428
\n00:28:09,920 –> 00:28:16,760
\nVerse 9 sees My heart is toward
\nthe governors of Israel that <\/p>\n

429
\n00:28:16,800 –> 00:28:20,320
\noffered themselves willingly
\namong the people. <\/p>\n

430
\n00:28:20,320 –> 00:28:26,440
\nBless ye Yahweh, who were these
\nwilling volunteers. <\/p>\n

431
\n00:28:26,440 –> 00:28:29,280
\nMy heart is towards every word
\nfor governors means to cut or to<\/p>\n

432
\n00:28:29,280 –> 00:28:32,600
\nengrave, or to inscribe or to
\nmark out. <\/p>\n

433
\n00:28:33,600 –> 00:28:37,240
\nIt’s probably better translated,
\nthe law givers. <\/p>\n

434
\n00:28:38,440 –> 00:28:40,760
\nIt’s the same word in in verse
\n14. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:28:40,760 –> 00:28:43,880
\nWhen we’re given more detail,
\nwhen he says in verse 14 or she <\/p>\n

436
\n00:28:43,880 –> 00:28:51,640
\nsays, those that handle the pen
\nof the writer, those that handle<\/p>\n

437
\n00:28:51,640 –> 00:28:55,120
\nthe pen of the writer, who were
\nthese people? <\/p>\n

438
\n00:28:55,920 –> 00:29:01,040
\nWe see these were the scribes
\nwho, like Israel, were the <\/p>\n

439
\n00:29:01,040 –> 00:29:05,680
\nrecorders of history and
\ntherefore were the Bible <\/p>\n

440
\n00:29:05,680 –> 00:29:08,560
\nstudents of the law and an
\nunderstanding of the truth. <\/p>\n

441
\n00:29:08,720 –> 00:29:11,920
\nThese are the ones that kept the
\nrecord of the history and that <\/p>\n

442
\n00:29:11,920 –> 00:29:15,520
\nwrote out the law and expounded
\nits measure message for the <\/p>\n

443
\n00:29:15,520 –> 00:29:18,960
\npeople.
\nWhy is that fascinating? <\/p>\n

444
\n00:29:18,960 –> 00:29:22,640
\nBuilding systems?
\nWell, what’s fascinating about <\/p>\n

445
\n00:29:22,640 –> 00:29:30,760
\nthat is that the governors put
\ndown their pens, pens to pick up<\/p>\n

446
\n00:29:31,000 –> 00:29:35,360
\nswords, just in case you were
\nwondering what we were talking <\/p>\n

447
\n00:29:35,360 –> 00:29:37,600
\nabout.
\nThey put down their pens to pick<\/p>\n

448
\n00:29:37,600 –> 00:29:40,080
\nup swords for the sake of the
\ntree. <\/p>\n

449
\n00:29:41,320 –> 00:29:45,880
\nAnd they did this to stand up
\nfor what was right against Sisra<\/p>\n

450
\n00:29:45,880 –> 00:29:49,040
\nand his army, to get rid of the
\nsurrounding tribes in the <\/p>\n

451
\n00:29:49,040 –> 00:29:52,800
\nresidue of Jabin’s iron grip and
\nrestore the land and its <\/p>\n

452
\n00:29:52,800 –> 00:29:59,000
\nterritory back to its rightful
\nowners in the magnificent spirit<\/p>\n

453
\n00:29:59,000 –> 00:30:03,240
\nof their willingness to offer
\ntheir lives and sacrifice of God<\/p>\n

454
\n00:30:03,240 –> 00:30:06,240
\nand their brethren is is
\nsomething that was amazing. <\/p>\n

455
\n00:30:08,200 –> 00:30:11,160
\nThey understood the need for
\nsacrifice. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:30:12,480 –> 00:30:14,320
\nBut I want to notice something
\nelse about these governors. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:30:14,320 –> 00:30:16,560
\nLook at this.
\nThey they offered themselves and<\/p>\n

458
\n00:30:16,560 –> 00:30:20,640
\nlook what it sees in the word
\namong the people. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:30:20,640 –> 00:30:23,960
\nDo you know what that word is?
\nOne single word in the Hebrew <\/p>\n

460
\n00:30:23,960 –> 00:30:27,840
\nthat means they offered
\nthemselves as a unit. <\/p>\n

461
\n00:30:28,680 –> 00:30:31,720
\nThey offered themselves as a
\ncongregation. <\/p>\n

462
\n00:30:32,880 –> 00:30:34,880
\nWhat’s the point of the record,
\nbrothers and sisters? <\/p>\n

463
\n00:30:35,000 –> 00:30:38,840
\nWell, the point of the record is
\nthat this group of scribes and <\/p>\n

464
\n00:30:38,840 –> 00:30:44,680
\nBible students came and gave
\nthemselves as a unified <\/p>\n

465
\n00:30:44,680 –> 00:30:48,760
\ncongregation.
\nThey’d agreed as a group to <\/p>\n

466
\n00:30:48,760 –> 00:30:53,120
\nrespond, and with a common
\npurpose and a common goal. <\/p>\n

467
\n00:30:53,760 –> 00:30:56,920
\nTogether they marched at
\nBayrak’s request to assist in <\/p>\n

468
\n00:30:56,920 –> 00:31:01,080
\nthe destruction of Sisera and
\nJabin, prepared to give their <\/p>\n

469
\n00:31:01,080 –> 00:31:03,440
\nlives as an offering for the
\ncause. <\/p>\n

470
\n00:31:07,360 –> 00:31:13,520
\nThis spirit is what made Deborah
\nand Bayrak sing their hearts out<\/p>\n

471
\n00:31:14,760 –> 00:31:17,960
\nand to call out to everyone in
\nIsrael to have a look at these <\/p>\n

472
\n00:31:17,960 –> 00:31:22,280
\nwonderful examples who willingly
\ngave their lives. <\/p>\n

473
\n00:31:24,920 –> 00:31:28,840
\nAnd Deborah Barek now call to
\nall the classes of Israel so <\/p>\n

474
\n00:31:28,840 –> 00:31:31,680
\nthat they might understand now
\nthe freedom and acknowledge the <\/p>\n

475
\n00:31:31,680 –> 00:31:35,000
\nfreedom that they all now
\nexperienced from being bound and<\/p>\n

476
\n00:31:35,000 –> 00:31:38,720
\nbondage and not able to walk
\naround to now that now they say <\/p>\n

477
\n00:31:38,720 –> 00:31:41,440
\nto all those that ride and those
\nthat sit and those that walk. <\/p>\n

478
\n00:31:41,440 –> 00:31:44,400
\nYou, you guys that have got
\nfreedom, I want you to now <\/p>\n

479
\n00:31:44,400 –> 00:31:48,840
\nunderstand where this came from.
\nI want you to attribute the <\/p>\n

480
\n00:31:48,840 –> 00:31:52,920
\nfreedom and praise those who
\nhave volunteered and look at the<\/p>\n

481
\n00:31:52,920 –> 00:31:58,040
\nclass That’s that they call out
\nto the upper class, to the rich <\/p>\n

482
\n00:31:58,080 –> 00:32:00,960
\nand to the travellers.
\nThere’s three classes in verse <\/p>\n

483
\n00:32:00,960 –> 00:32:06,880
\n10, speak ye that ride on white
\nasses, that ride on these costly<\/p>\n

484
\n00:32:06,880 –> 00:32:11,120
\nanimals, the upper class, the
\nones that are riding around and <\/p>\n

485
\n00:32:11,120 –> 00:32:16,040
\nenjoying their freedom.
\nThe horse riders, the pony club <\/p>\n

486
\n00:32:16,040 –> 00:32:19,800
\npeople.
\nSorry if you’ve got ponies, I’ve<\/p>\n

487
\n00:32:19,800 –> 00:32:24,200
\ngot one, but I’m not one of
\nthese, but these are the but <\/p>\n

488
\n00:32:24,200 –> 00:32:27,520
\nthose that ride on white horses,
\nI’ve got a dray 1, so my way up.<\/p>\n

489
\n00:32:27,560 –> 00:32:31,280
\nSo it’s all good.
\nThe rich, the second class, <\/p>\n

490
\n00:32:31,720 –> 00:32:35,080
\nthose that sit in judgement,
\nactually the word judgements <\/p>\n

491
\n00:32:35,080 –> 00:32:40,200
\nbetter translated garments,
\nthose that sit on garments, <\/p>\n

492
\n00:32:40,200 –> 00:32:42,880
\nthese are the ones that were
\nresting at home on the splendid <\/p>\n

493
\n00:32:42,880 –> 00:32:49,240
\ntapestry and carpets, the rich
\nin their sealed houses. <\/p>\n

494
\n00:32:51,200 –> 00:32:54,040
\nAnd those that walk by the way,
\nthis is the travellers, those <\/p>\n

495
\n00:32:54,040 –> 00:32:56,480
\nthe common people that walked
\naround the around the world, <\/p>\n

496
\n00:32:56,480 –> 00:32:59,160
\naround all over Israel.
\nNow the freedom that they could <\/p>\n

497
\n00:32:59,160 –> 00:33:02,120
\nexperience the riding, the
\nsitting and The Walking. <\/p>\n

498
\n00:33:02,320 –> 00:33:07,160
\nThey had a freedom now and they
\nwere all now to ponder why they <\/p>\n

499
\n00:33:07,160 –> 00:33:12,120
\nwere free.
\nAnd so they say in verse 11, <\/p>\n

500
\n00:33:12,600 –> 00:33:14,880
\nthey that are delivered from the
\nnoise of the arches in the <\/p>\n

501
\n00:33:14,880 –> 00:33:17,400
\nplaces of the drawing of water
\nthere shall they rehearse the <\/p>\n

502
\n00:33:17,400 –> 00:33:20,240
\nrighteous acts of Yahweh, even
\nthe righteous acts towards the <\/p>\n

503
\n00:33:20,240 –> 00:33:23,400
\ninhabitants of his villages in
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

504
\n00:33:24,160 –> 00:33:27,200
\nAnd this verse has puzzled many
\nof the translators. <\/p>\n

505
\n00:33:28,760 –> 00:33:30,960
\nAnd so trying to piece it
\ntogether, I think it’s, it’s <\/p>\n

506
\n00:33:31,080 –> 00:33:34,320
\nit’s quite difficult, but I
\nthink in the context, the best <\/p>\n

507
\n00:33:34,520 –> 00:33:40,800
\nway to translate that sort of
\nreads as best as as this from <\/p>\n

508
\n00:33:40,800 –> 00:33:48,000
\nthe sound of those who have been
\nliberated at the watering holes <\/p>\n

509
\n00:33:48,280 –> 00:33:54,520
\nthere they celebrate and recall
\nthe righteous acts of Yahweh, <\/p>\n

510
\n00:33:54,880 –> 00:33:59,480
\nthe righteous acts of leaders in
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:34:00,000 –> 00:34:02,400
\nI think that’s the best way to
\ntranslate that verse and what <\/p>\n

512
\n00:34:02,680 –> 00:34:05,840
\nDebra and Babe are trying to
\nsay, that the sound of <\/p>\n

513
\n00:34:05,840 –> 00:34:09,600
\neveryone’s singing was supposed
\nto be done at the meeting place <\/p>\n

514
\n00:34:09,600 –> 00:34:12,400
\nwhere they all got together at
\nthe watering holes and they <\/p>\n

515
\n00:34:12,400 –> 00:34:16,199
\ncould there celebrate and recall
\nthe the wonderful things that <\/p>\n

516
\n00:34:16,199 –> 00:34:19,320
\ngot the righteous acts that
\nYahweh had done and the <\/p>\n

517
\n00:34:19,320 –> 00:34:22,639
\nrighteous acts of the leaders in
\nIsrael was both God’s acts and <\/p>\n

518
\n00:34:22,639 –> 00:34:27,639
\nthose that had volunteered.
\nYou see, the whole nation had <\/p>\n

519
\n00:34:27,639 –> 00:34:32,440
\ngood reason to reflect as the
\nleaders and warriors returned <\/p>\n

520
\n00:34:32,440 –> 00:34:37,920
\nhome to consider the mighty acts
\nthat Yahweh had achieved that <\/p>\n

521
\n00:34:37,920 –> 00:34:41,520
\nhad performed amongst them, and
\nthe wonderful example that these<\/p>\n

522
\n00:34:41,520 –> 00:34:46,520
\nwarriors had given in standing
\nup for what was right and for <\/p>\n

523
\n00:34:46,520 –> 00:34:50,480
\nfighting the cause so that the
\nnation might be liberated and to<\/p>\n

524
\n00:34:50,480 –> 00:34:52,719
\nenjoy the freedom that they now
\nexperienced. <\/p>\n

525
\n00:34:53,840 –> 00:35:01,280
\nThen she sees shall the people
\nof Yahweh go down to the gates. <\/p>\n

526
\n00:35:01,760 –> 00:35:04,880
\nAnd the transition is so, so
\nobvious, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

527
\n00:35:04,880 –> 00:35:08,800
\nBetween the fact and verse 8,
\nwhen there was war in the gates,<\/p>\n

528
\n00:35:09,120 –> 00:35:13,480
\nnow there’s freedom so that they
\ncan easily travel to the gates. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:35:14,320 –> 00:35:18,080
\nIn verse 11, they can sing it to
\nthe watering hogs outside and <\/p>\n

530
\n00:35:18,080 –> 00:35:21,560
\nthey can all now meet the gate
\nof the city, the place where <\/p>\n

531
\n00:35:21,560 –> 00:35:27,400
\neverything happened, because now
\nthey could go and inherit the <\/p>\n

532
\n00:35:27,400 –> 00:35:33,360
\ncities that they had lost.
\nThey truly had reason to sing to<\/p>\n

533
\n00:35:33,360 –> 00:35:36,280
\nmy brothers and sisters and
\nyoung people for the wonderful <\/p>\n

534
\n00:35:36,280 –> 00:35:42,760
\nthings that Yahweh had done.
\nBut now Deborah and Bayrack turn<\/p>\n

535
\n00:35:42,760 –> 00:35:46,960
\ntheir attention to the willing
\nvolunteers, the the people’s <\/p>\n

536
\n00:35:46,960 –> 00:35:49,440
\nresponse to the calling for
\nhelp. <\/p>\n

537
\n00:35:49,440 –> 00:35:53,760
\nThere were two types of
\nresponses, brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n

538
\n00:35:54,560 –> 00:35:58,840
\nThere were those who came and
\nthere were those that didn’t. <\/p>\n

539
\n00:36:01,480 –> 00:36:06,680
\nAnd when the call came in verse
\n12 and 13, it came starkly <\/p>\n

540
\n00:36:06,760 –> 00:36:09,600
\nawake.
\nVerse 12 awake Deborah awake, <\/p>\n

541
\n00:36:09,600 –> 00:36:14,120
\nawake, other song arise Bayrak
\nand lead thy captivity captive <\/p>\n

542
\n00:36:14,400 –> 00:36:16,280
\ntheir son of Amandol.
\nAnd then what happens? <\/p>\n

543
\n00:36:16,280 –> 00:36:21,600
\nHis verse 13 Then he made him
\nthat remaineth have dominion <\/p>\n

544
\n00:36:21,600 –> 00:36:23,160
\nover the nobles among the
\npeople. <\/p>\n

545
\n00:36:23,160 –> 00:36:27,120
\nYahweh made me have dominion
\nover the mighty. <\/p>\n

546
\n00:36:27,120 –> 00:36:30,600
\nAnd you see, this is Bayrak now
\nsinging, I believe, of what <\/p>\n

547
\n00:36:30,600 –> 00:36:35,880
\nactually happened in the story.
\nBayrak was to lead those who <\/p>\n

548
\n00:36:35,880 –> 00:36:38,960
\nwere both shook and awake, and
\nBayrak now was to lead those <\/p>\n

549
\n00:36:39,120 –> 00:36:43,360
\nthat had held them in captivity
\nand to lead them captive. <\/p>\n

550
\n00:36:44,040 –> 00:36:47,600
\nGod’s people had been held in
\ncaptivity by Jabin, by Sisera, <\/p>\n

551
\n00:36:47,800 –> 00:36:51,040
\nand now the cool came to take
\nthose that had held them <\/p>\n

552
\n00:36:51,040 –> 00:36:55,920
\ncaptive, captive themselves, and
\nwe saw this. <\/p>\n

553
\n00:36:56,120 –> 00:36:58,560
\nWell, sorry.
\nWe will see that this wonderful <\/p>\n

554
\n00:36:58,560 –> 00:37:01,440
\nexpression in our final exhort
\ncaptures the remarkable <\/p>\n

555
\n00:37:01,440 –> 00:37:05,520
\nsymbology and work of our Lord
\nJesus Christ and how Paul says <\/p>\n

556
\n00:37:05,520 –> 00:37:09,800
\nit should drive us to respond in
\nvolunteering amongst our <\/p>\n

557
\n00:37:09,800 –> 00:37:13,600
\necclesias.
\nSo who did Bayrak lead? <\/p>\n

558
\n00:37:13,760 –> 00:37:19,040
\nWho did responded to the core?
\nWell, verse 13 says it was him <\/p>\n

559
\n00:37:20,080 –> 00:37:25,080
\nthat remaineth.
\nNot everybody responded, only a <\/p>\n

560
\n00:37:25,080 –> 00:37:28,760
\nportion of people came, but
\nthose people he sees, look what <\/p>\n

561
\n00:37:28,760 –> 00:37:31,960
\nit says.
\nThey are noticed as calling the <\/p>\n

562
\n00:37:32,200 –> 00:37:39,440
\npeople of Yahweh, the people of
\nYahweh, that’s who came. <\/p>\n

563
\n00:37:40,480 –> 00:37:44,920
\nYahweh made him that remaineth
\nhave dominion over the people. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:37:44,920 –> 00:37:48,400
\nA remnant are going to come, a
\nfaithful remnant who <\/p>\n

565
\n00:37:48,400 –> 00:37:51,960
\nvolunteered, who were going to
\nput their life on the line to <\/p>\n

566
\n00:37:51,960 –> 00:37:56,320
\nsave their brethren and brothers
\nand sisters throughout time. <\/p>\n

567
\n00:37:56,840 –> 00:37:59,920
\nThis is forever been true,
\nhasn’t it? <\/p>\n

568
\n00:38:00,600 –> 00:38:04,280
\nIt’s always a remnant that has
\nresponded and remained faithful <\/p>\n

569
\n00:38:04,280 –> 00:38:06,480
\nto Yahweh.
\nHave the Levites who turn in <\/p>\n

570
\n00:38:06,480 –> 00:38:10,280
\nExodus chapter 32, the Nethanum
\nand the time of Nehemiah, Daniel<\/p>\n

571
\n00:38:10,280 –> 00:38:12,520
\nand his three friends and the
\nfriends surrounding them in <\/p>\n

572
\n00:38:12,520 –> 00:38:14,360
\ncaptivity.
\nThe remnant that came in the <\/p>\n

573
\n00:38:14,360 –> 00:38:19,400
\nExile is always a remnant that
\nreturns and that are motivated. <\/p>\n

574
\n00:38:19,400 –> 00:38:24,120
\nIt’s not everybody.
\nSo where did these people come <\/p>\n

575
\n00:38:24,120 –> 00:38:27,520
\nfrom and what was their
\nmotivation? <\/p>\n

576
\n00:38:27,560 –> 00:38:34,040
\nWell, verse 14 says it came
\nfirst out of Ephraim. <\/p>\n

577
\n00:38:37,520 –> 00:38:43,720
\nYou see, it first came from the
\ntribe of Ephraim, but only a few<\/p>\n

578
\n00:38:43,720 –> 00:38:47,520
\nof them, a root of them, a root
\nout of Ephraim. <\/p>\n

579
\n00:38:47,520 –> 00:38:49,360
\nVerse 14.
\nOut of the root of Ephraim was <\/p>\n

580
\n00:38:49,360 –> 00:38:51,680
\nthere a root of them against
\nAmalek. <\/p>\n

581
\n00:38:52,120 –> 00:38:56,480
\nAfter the Benjamin among thy
\npeople out of Maker came down <\/p>\n

582
\n00:38:56,480 –> 00:38:59,760
\nthe governors, out of Zebulun,
\nthem that handled the pen and <\/p>\n

583
\n00:38:59,760 –> 00:39:02,920
\nthe Princess of Iska with
\nDeborah, even Iska and also <\/p>\n

584
\n00:39:03,320 –> 00:39:07,800
\nBaedrick, and they were sent,
\nwell, he was sent on foot into <\/p>\n

585
\n00:39:07,880 –> 00:39:10,640
\nthe valley.
\nBut it was this, it was a <\/p>\n

586
\n00:39:10,840 –> 00:39:14,200
\nremnant of the tribe of Ephraim.
\nIt was a few who had been <\/p>\n

587
\n00:39:14,200 –> 00:39:17,480
\ninstrumental that had taken
\ntheir own inheritance. <\/p>\n

588
\n00:39:18,280 –> 00:39:20,640
\nThere was a root of them against
\nAmalek. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:39:21,240 –> 00:39:23,240
\nWhy are we told that detail?
\nBrill and scissors. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:39:23,560 –> 00:39:27,240
\nSo we’re told that there was a
\ngroup of men that were <\/p>\n

591
\n00:39:27,600 –> 00:39:30,400
\nconstantly fighting Amalek
\namongst their own tribe and <\/p>\n

592
\n00:39:30,400 –> 00:39:36,040
\ntheir own inheritance.
\nThey’ve been battling Amalek and<\/p>\n

593
\n00:39:36,040 –> 00:39:38,960
\nthey choose to respond.
\nIf there was anyone busy, it was<\/p>\n

594
\n00:39:38,960 –> 00:39:46,800
\nthese guys and they stood up and
\nrealised the need of what was <\/p>\n

595
\n00:39:46,800 –> 00:39:50,640
\ngoing to be required.
\nThey’re the 1st to come because <\/p>\n

596
\n00:39:50,640 –> 00:39:54,120
\nthey’ve got the experience first
\nhand in fighting against the <\/p>\n

597
\n00:39:54,120 –> 00:39:56,680
\nCanaanites out of the root of
\nAmalek. <\/p>\n

598
\n00:39:56,680 –> 00:40:00,480
\nThose that come see they had
\nseen the need and the benefits <\/p>\n

599
\n00:40:00,520 –> 00:40:02,920
\nof removing and eradicating the
\nenemies from their own <\/p>\n

600
\n00:40:02,920 –> 00:40:05,160
\nterritories.
\nAnd so they’re the first ones <\/p>\n

601
\n00:40:05,160 –> 00:40:09,120
\nwho respond to help those to
\nfight against the Canaanites. <\/p>\n

602
\n00:40:09,760 –> 00:40:13,520
\nAnd their example of leadership
\nand their experience now <\/p>\n

603
\n00:40:13,520 –> 00:40:17,440
\ninspires and encourages the
\ntribe of Benjamin to join the <\/p>\n

604
\n00:40:17,680 –> 00:40:21,480
\nand to join and respond because
\nit says and after thee. <\/p>\n

605
\n00:40:22,160 –> 00:40:26,240
\nBenjamin among thy people you
\nsee they stood up as a unit. <\/p>\n

606
\n00:40:26,520 –> 00:40:29,960
\nBenjamin is an entire unit comes
\nas the same word in verse nine <\/p>\n

607
\n00:40:30,240 –> 00:40:33,160
\namong the people they stand up
\nas a congregation. <\/p>\n

608
\n00:40:33,160 –> 00:40:37,240
\nBenjamin come unified and one
\naccord to assist their brethren <\/p>\n

609
\n00:40:38,240 –> 00:40:42,160
\nand not only hit Ephraims
\nexample encouraged Benjamin who <\/p>\n

610
\n00:40:42,160 –> 00:40:46,400
\nare South of them.
\nIt also now conspires the half <\/p>\n

611
\n00:40:46,400 –> 00:40:51,280
\ntribe of Manassa next to next to
\nthem on the West side of of <\/p>\n

612
\n00:40:51,280 –> 00:40:58,200
\nJordan, because from Mercur it
\nsays came those down the <\/p>\n

613
\n00:40:58,200 –> 00:41:01,920
\ngovernors and out of Zebulun
\nthen that handled the pen from <\/p>\n

614
\n00:41:01,920 –> 00:41:05,840
\nthe Kurds, See Manasseh has two
\ninheritance, one on the eastern <\/p>\n

615
\n00:41:05,840 –> 00:41:07,440
\nside and one on the western
\nside. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:41:07,520 –> 00:41:10,360
\nOnly 1\/2 is going to respond,
\nthe other half is not. <\/p>\n

617
\n00:41:11,200 –> 00:41:14,360
\nAnd so those that were living on
\nthe western side of the river <\/p>\n

618
\n00:41:14,360 –> 00:41:17,280
\nJordan, those that were there
\nwith Benjamin and with Ephraim <\/p>\n

619
\n00:41:17,280 –> 00:41:21,000
\nand the half tribe of Manasseh
\nall come to respond. <\/p>\n

620
\n00:41:21,720 –> 00:41:24,520
\nAnd Zebulun, they come forth,
\nthe governors of those that <\/p>\n

621
\n00:41:24,520 –> 00:41:27,080
\nhandle the pen.
\nAnd whilst they weren’t <\/p>\n

622
\n00:41:27,080 –> 00:41:29,760
\nnecessarily rulers, brothers and
\nsisters in their tribe. <\/p>\n

623
\n00:41:30,160 –> 00:41:32,080
\nThe word for governors being the
\nwriters. <\/p>\n

624
\n00:41:32,800 –> 00:41:37,480
\nThe example of Ephraim had
\ninspired Bible students who <\/p>\n

625
\n00:41:37,560 –> 00:41:41,240
\nunderstood their history and
\nappreciated the law. <\/p>\n

626
\n00:41:42,720 –> 00:41:46,240
\nThey came to fight out the
\nCanaanites. <\/p>\n

627
\n00:41:46,680 –> 00:41:50,000
\nIt was the inspired Bible
\nstudents who understood what <\/p>\n

628
\n00:41:50,000 –> 00:41:54,240
\nneeded to be done.
\nAnd they drop the pen and pick <\/p>\n

629
\n00:41:54,240 –> 00:41:58,640
\nup the sword, willing to respond
\nto the call. <\/p>\n

630
\n00:42:00,760 –> 00:42:02,440
\nThis is what Bayreq had
\nmustered. <\/p>\n

631
\n00:42:02,680 –> 00:42:06,080
\nThis is who we have now
\nencouraged and on foot. <\/p>\n

632
\n00:42:06,200 –> 00:42:11,240
\nThis group, 10,000 men are going
\nto March down Mount Table and <\/p>\n

633
\n00:42:11,240 –> 00:42:15,080
\nbegin a battle and willingly
\noffer themselves and their <\/p>\n

634
\n00:42:15,080 –> 00:42:19,120
\nlives.
\nAnd Deborah had inspired the <\/p>\n

635
\n00:42:19,120 –> 00:42:23,320
\nleaders with Ithaca to be with
\nher, and together they all <\/p>\n

636
\n00:42:23,320 –> 00:42:26,560
\nassembled to take out Sisera and
\nhis army. <\/p>\n

637
\n00:42:28,200 –> 00:42:30,840
\nYou know what, brothers and
\nsisters, it’s a remarkable <\/p>\n

638
\n00:42:30,840 –> 00:42:36,040
\nresponse, isn’t it?
\nThat cascades when true <\/p>\n

639
\n00:42:36,040 –> 00:42:42,240
\nleadership often occurs.
\nYou see, Deborah stanza inspires<\/p>\n

640
\n00:42:42,720 –> 00:42:47,240
\nBayrek inspires Ephraim.
\nEphraim inspires Benjamin, <\/p>\n

641
\n00:42:47,240 –> 00:42:49,320
\nBenjamin inspires the half tribe
\nof America. <\/p>\n

642
\n00:42:49,520 –> 00:42:52,520
\nZebulun come and the Princess of
\nIska. <\/p>\n

643
\n00:42:54,320 –> 00:42:56,240
\nAnd you see, this is what
\nleadership does. <\/p>\n

644
\n00:42:56,240 –> 00:43:00,400
\nIt inspires people to go with
\nthem, and they assemble and go. <\/p>\n

645
\n00:43:01,240 –> 00:43:04,880
\nThe remarkable response of
\ncourageous Ephraim sent an <\/p>\n

646
\n00:43:04,880 –> 00:43:08,360
\ninspirational message to the
\nremnant of the faithful who <\/p>\n

647
\n00:43:08,360 –> 00:43:12,360
\nrallied around Isika and Zebulun
\nwith Deborah and Bayrack and <\/p>\n

648
\n00:43:12,360 –> 00:43:18,880
\nmarched as a unified body in
\nmind and spirit and purpose into<\/p>\n

649
\n00:43:18,880 –> 00:43:24,440
\nbattle, volunteering their
\nlives, brothers and sisters, for<\/p>\n

650
\n00:43:24,440 –> 00:43:29,680
\nthe salvation of their people.
\nHow could God not respond to <\/p>\n

651
\n00:43:29,680 –> 00:43:32,240
\nthat, Brothers and sisters, Of
\ncourse He does. <\/p>\n

652
\n00:43:33,560 –> 00:43:35,800
\nThere’s a massive lesson for us,
\nisn’t there, brothers and <\/p>\n

653
\n00:43:35,800 –> 00:43:39,280
\nsisters?
\nHow is our volunteering spirit <\/p>\n

654
\n00:43:41,360 –> 00:43:46,400
\nwhen we’re called to help?
\nHow do we respond when people <\/p>\n

655
\n00:43:46,400 –> 00:43:48,280
\nstand up and call for
\nassistance? <\/p>\n

656
\n00:43:49,800 –> 00:43:56,120
\nDo we have that kind of
\nvolunteering spirit amongst our <\/p>\n

657
\n00:43:56,120 –> 00:44:00,640
\necclesians?
\nHow far are we prepared to go <\/p>\n

658
\n00:44:01,440 –> 00:44:03,200
\nfor the salvation of our
\nbrothers and sisters? <\/p>\n

659
\n00:44:04,400 –> 00:44:06,560
\nThese people were going to give
\ntheir lives. <\/p>\n

660
\n00:44:06,960 –> 00:44:10,920
\nHow far are we prepared to go?
\nCan we give a bit more? <\/p>\n

661
\n00:44:12,000 –> 00:44:16,040
\nProbably.
\nDo we have the hair my send me <\/p>\n

662
\n00:44:16,040 –> 00:44:19,280
\nspirit?
\nWell, the here am I pleasing <\/p>\n

663
\n00:44:19,280 –> 00:44:25,040
\nsomeone else?
\nYou see, leadership is all about<\/p>\n

664
\n00:44:25,040 –> 00:44:28,360
\nservice.
\nIt requires us to have a <\/p>\n

665
\n00:44:28,360 –> 00:44:32,960
\nvolunteering spirit that is
\nprepared to give because we know<\/p>\n

666
\n00:44:33,160 –> 00:44:36,800
\nand because we love and because
\nwe understand just how much God <\/p>\n

667
\n00:44:36,800 –> 00:44:41,440
\nhas done for us.
\nWe understand it’s good for the <\/p>\n

668
\n00:44:41,440 –> 00:44:43,640
\ntruth.
\nWe understand it enhances God <\/p>\n

669
\n00:44:43,640 –> 00:44:47,880
\npurpose and so therefore we
\nserve, even albeit reluctantly, <\/p>\n

670
\n00:44:47,880 –> 00:44:50,080
\nto give that God might be
\nhonoured. <\/p>\n

671
\n00:44:52,960 –> 00:44:55,080
\nGod’s purpose is about people,
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

672
\n00:44:56,160 –> 00:45:01,360
\nThat requires volunteers.
\nBut not everyone will respond. <\/p>\n

673
\n00:45:02,960 –> 00:45:05,440
\nNot everyone responds at all
\ntimes. <\/p>\n

674
\n00:45:05,440 –> 00:45:08,560
\nIn fact, it didn’t happen here
\neither, because now Deborah and <\/p>\n

675
\n00:45:08,560 –> 00:45:14,760
\nBayrek turn to call out the
\nslackers who chose not to come, <\/p>\n

676
\n00:45:16,360 –> 00:45:18,800
\nand they’re going to represent
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

677
\n00:45:18,800 –> 00:45:23,800
\nAll the types of excuses and
\nresponses that we give when we <\/p>\n

678
\n00:45:23,800 –> 00:45:27,720
\ndecide not to respond to stand
\nup and volunteer. <\/p>\n

679
\n00:45:27,760 –> 00:45:31,400
\nAnd the first ones are
\nunfortunately the ones that <\/p>\n

680
\n00:45:31,400 –> 00:45:35,680
\nshould have been the leaders.
\nReuben here’s Reuben, Gad and <\/p>\n

681
\n00:45:35,680 –> 00:45:39,400
\nthe half tribe of Manasseh, the
\n40,000 who went over armed in <\/p>\n

682
\n00:45:39,400 –> 00:45:42,960
\nfront of Israel now disasters
\nbecause they choose to not come.<\/p>\n

683
\n00:45:43,520 –> 00:45:46,200
\nLook what it sees.
\nReuben the first born of Jacob’s<\/p>\n

684
\n00:45:46,200 –> 00:45:48,920
\nsons ought to be the leaders now
\nshow their lack of leadership <\/p>\n

685
\n00:45:48,920 –> 00:45:51,160
\nand direction.
\nSo it sees in the record in <\/p>\n

686
\n00:45:51,160 –> 00:45:54,160
\nverse 16 for the divisions of
\nReuben. <\/p>\n

687
\n00:45:55,360 –> 00:46:01,120
\nThere was great searchings of
\nHarp Oh, brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

688
\n00:46:01,720 –> 00:46:05,160
\nThere was great searchings of
\nheart, the divisions of Reuben, <\/p>\n

689
\n00:46:05,320 –> 00:46:09,520
\nthe thoughts, the the intentions
\nor the resolutions. <\/p>\n

690
\n00:46:10,240 –> 00:46:11,760
\nThere were great thoughts of
\nheart. <\/p>\n

691
\n00:46:12,000 –> 00:46:14,320
\nThere were divisions that that
\nthere were different groups <\/p>\n

692
\n00:46:14,320 –> 00:46:16,480
\nhaving differing opinions of
\nwhether they should or shouldn’t<\/p>\n

693
\n00:46:16,480 –> 00:46:19,160
\ncome.
\nAnd the point I think Deborah <\/p>\n

694
\n00:46:19,160 –> 00:46:21,400
\nmakes in this story is well,
\nthat had plenty of meetings <\/p>\n

695
\n00:46:21,640 –> 00:46:25,120
\nabout Bayreq’s request that held
\na number of differing views <\/p>\n

696
\n00:46:25,120 –> 00:46:27,680
\namongst their community and some
\nwanted to respond. <\/p>\n

697
\n00:46:27,680 –> 00:46:30,040
\nIn fact, others were resolved
\nthat they should go. <\/p>\n

698
\n00:46:30,760 –> 00:46:36,000
\nThey had great intentions to go.
\nWhen it came to it, they failed <\/p>\n

699
\n00:46:36,000 –> 00:46:42,840
\nto do anything at all.
\nInstead it says in verse 16, Why<\/p>\n

700
\n00:46:43,080 –> 00:46:46,240
\nabodus, thou among the
\nsheepfolds, to hear the <\/p>\n

701
\n00:46:46,240 –> 00:46:49,480
\nbleatings of the flock.
\nThey remained there with the <\/p>\n

702
\n00:46:49,480 –> 00:46:52,720
\nsheep.
\nSee, Reuben were renowned for <\/p>\n

703
\n00:46:52,720 –> 00:46:55,680
\nthe great pastors, the
\nmagnificent flocks that they <\/p>\n

704
\n00:46:55,680 –> 00:46:57,720
\nhad.
\nOnce they wanted to help, or at <\/p>\n

705
\n00:46:57,720 –> 00:47:00,960
\nleast some of them wanted to.
\nLife was pretty busy. <\/p>\n

706
\n00:47:00,960 –> 00:47:03,480
\nWe got lots going on.
\nAnd look, we’ve got the sheep to<\/p>\n

707
\n00:47:03,480 –> 00:47:05,360
\nlook after and there’s things
\nthat have to be done. <\/p>\n

708
\n00:47:05,360 –> 00:47:09,920
\nAnd oh, look, we should go.
\nWe really should go these things<\/p>\n

709
\n00:47:09,920 –> 00:47:11,160
\non.
\nWe should be part of. <\/p>\n

710
\n00:47:13,440 –> 00:47:19,560
\nThey wanted to, they intended
\nto, but they failed. <\/p>\n

711
\n00:47:19,560 –> 00:47:24,400
\nTo your brothers and sisters,
\nit’s a great lesson in that <\/p>\n

712
\n00:47:24,400 –> 00:47:29,720
\nisn’t your brothers and sisters
\nwarning fact, Intention isn’t <\/p>\n

713
\n00:47:29,720 –> 00:47:34,800
\naction.
\nIntention isn’t action. <\/p>\n

714
\n00:47:34,840 –> 00:47:36,520
\nWe’ve got to follow through,
\nbrothers and sisters, and <\/p>\n

715
\n00:47:36,520 –> 00:47:39,400
\nexecute exactly what the call
\nis. <\/p>\n

716
\n00:47:41,120 –> 00:47:45,480
\nOh, and that wasn’t all Gillian,
\nDan and Asheville. <\/p>\n

717
\n00:47:45,480 –> 00:47:49,560
\nThey didn’t even have intentions
\nto respond to the core Gilead, <\/p>\n

718
\n00:47:49,560 –> 00:47:53,640
\nit says abode beyond Jordan.
\nDan remained in their ships. <\/p>\n

719
\n00:47:53,800 –> 00:47:56,640
\nAsha continued on the seashore
\nand abode in his in his <\/p>\n

720
\n00:47:56,640 –> 00:47:59,840
\nbreeches.
\nSo Gilead the the other half <\/p>\n

721
\n00:47:59,840 –> 00:48:02,760
\ntribe of Manasseh on the east
\nside of Jordan and that’s the <\/p>\n

722
\n00:48:02,760 –> 00:48:05,120
\nrecord.
\nIt says beyond Jordan. <\/p>\n

723
\n00:48:06,240 –> 00:48:08,920
\nIt’s a bit far for us to travel.
\nI’m so sorry. <\/p>\n

724
\n00:48:10,480 –> 00:48:13,840
\nWe’ve got a it would be a bit of
\ndifficult for us to work out how<\/p>\n

725
\n00:48:13,840 –> 00:48:16,040
\nto get across and then and then
\nwe’re going to come all the way <\/p>\n

726
\n00:48:16,040 –> 00:48:18,840
\nover to see you and it’s a bit
\noh, look, it’s a bit far really <\/p>\n

727
\n00:48:18,840 –> 00:48:21,440
\nfor us at this point in time.
\nThanks for the offer, but no, <\/p>\n

728
\n00:48:22,840 –> 00:48:24,520
\nit’s not really affecting us
\nover here. <\/p>\n

729
\n00:48:24,520 –> 00:48:25,920
\nWe’ve we’ve actually quite
\ncomfy. <\/p>\n

730
\n00:48:25,920 –> 00:48:30,360
\nThanks.
\nIt’s not our problem, Dan. <\/p>\n

731
\n00:48:31,360 –> 00:48:34,280
\nDan remained in ships.
\nThe air territory in the north <\/p>\n

732
\n00:48:34,280 –> 00:48:36,760
\nwas included all the seaports
\nand the coasts and the <\/p>\n

733
\n00:48:36,760 –> 00:48:39,080
\nmediterration.
\nThe tribe made their money from <\/p>\n

734
\n00:48:39,080 –> 00:48:42,840
\nfishing.
\nTheir livelihood was of more <\/p>\n

735
\n00:48:42,840 –> 00:48:45,040
\nrelevance to them.
\nSo sorry. <\/p>\n

736
\n00:48:45,840 –> 00:48:49,800
\nWe’re we’re fishing today.
\nWe’re fishing next week as well.<\/p>\n

737
\n00:48:49,800 –> 00:48:52,120
\nAnd the week after.
\nWe look, we’re, we’re too busy <\/p>\n

738
\n00:48:52,120 –> 00:48:55,600
\nto come and help.
\nLook, the weather’s so good we <\/p>\n

739
\n00:48:55,600 –> 00:48:57,040
\ncan’t listen.
\nYou’ll understand. <\/p>\n

740
\n00:48:57,040 –> 00:49:05,800
\nI’m sure the brethren were
\ndying, brothers and sisters, but<\/p>\n

741
\n00:49:05,800 –> 00:49:08,080
\nthey’re too busy to help.
\nIt’s disgraceful behaviour, <\/p>\n

742
\n00:49:08,080 –> 00:49:10,800
\nbrothers and sisters, but we can
\ndo it too. <\/p>\n

743
\n00:49:13,440 –> 00:49:14,800
\nAsha.
\nWell, he continues on the <\/p>\n

744
\n00:49:14,800 –> 00:49:16,760
\nseashore.
\nHe bowed in his breeches. <\/p>\n

745
\n00:49:17,160 –> 00:49:18,560
\nThey weren’t even out on their
\nboats. <\/p>\n

746
\n00:49:18,560 –> 00:49:20,040
\nAt least down we’re out on their
\nboats. <\/p>\n

747
\n00:49:20,320 –> 00:49:22,120
\nThese guys are bowed on the
\nseashore. <\/p>\n

748
\n00:49:22,800 –> 00:49:26,080
\nThey just refused to respond.
\nAs they continued, they <\/p>\n

749
\n00:49:26,080 –> 00:49:30,000
\ncontinued on the seashore to
\ndwell permanently. <\/p>\n

750
\n00:49:30,400 –> 00:49:34,440
\nAsha just kept on doing what
\nthey’re doing and they just <\/p>\n

751
\n00:49:34,440 –> 00:49:36,520
\nrefused to even acknowledge that
\nthere was even a problem. <\/p>\n

752
\n00:49:37,160 –> 00:49:38,600
\nIt’s not ours, it’s not our
\nbattle. <\/p>\n

753
\n00:49:38,680 –> 00:49:40,560
\nLife’s perfect where we are.
\nSorry. <\/p>\n

754
\n00:49:40,560 –> 00:49:41,960
\nThis battle’s not ours, it’s
\nyours. <\/p>\n

755
\n00:49:41,960 –> 00:49:47,000
\nGo away.
\nFor these tribes, it was either <\/p>\n

756
\n00:49:47,000 –> 00:49:51,680
\ntoo far to go, or life is too
\nbusy, or employment was too more<\/p>\n

757
\n00:49:51,680 –> 00:49:54,520
\nimportant, or it wasn’t really
\ntheir battle to fight. <\/p>\n

758
\n00:49:54,520 –> 00:49:59,520
\nIt wasn’t their problem and they
\nshow a complete and utter <\/p>\n

759
\n00:49:59,520 –> 00:50:04,560
\ndisregard for the lack and lack
\nof care and no concern, mother <\/p>\n

760
\n00:50:04,560 –> 00:50:07,960
\nand sisters for the plight of
\ntheir brethren whatsoever. <\/p>\n

761
\n00:50:10,560 –> 00:50:13,600
\nThis is in stark contrast, says
\nDeborah in verse 18. <\/p>\n

762
\n00:50:13,800 –> 00:50:17,560
\nTo Zebulun and NAFTA lie, they
\nsay, a people that jeopardise <\/p>\n

763
\n00:50:17,560 –> 00:50:21,840
\ntheir own lives under the death
\nin the high places of the field.<\/p>\n

764
\n00:50:22,040 –> 00:50:24,320
\nYou couldn’t get a stark of
\ncontrast, could you? <\/p>\n

765
\n00:50:27,800 –> 00:50:31,440
\nBrothers, Sisters, That’s the
\nlesson, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

766
\n00:50:33,120 –> 00:50:36,360
\nWe’re defined in these moments,
\naren’t we? <\/p>\n

767
\n00:50:37,800 –> 00:50:41,520
\nIt’s when we’re busy that God
\ntests us. <\/p>\n

768
\n00:50:42,160 –> 00:50:45,760
\nIt is when we are tired that God
\ntries us. <\/p>\n

769
\n00:50:45,880 –> 00:50:51,520
\nIt is when we are stressed that
\nwe truly see who we really are <\/p>\n

770
\n00:50:53,080 –> 00:50:57,080
\nand how much we’re prepared to
\nsacrifice for one another. <\/p>\n

771
\n00:50:59,040 –> 00:51:02,120
\nIt is through these moments and
\nthrough trial and life, brothers<\/p>\n

772
\n00:51:02,120 –> 00:51:09,080
\nand sisters, that God moulds and
\nshapes us and we find out what <\/p>\n

773
\n00:51:09,080 –> 00:51:14,760
\nwe really are made of.
\nWe’ve got to give to others as <\/p>\n

774
\n00:51:14,760 –> 00:51:19,960
\nwe have been given by God.
\nGod has called us brothers and <\/p>\n

775
\n00:51:19,960 –> 00:51:24,200
\nsisters to respond, to assist
\nhis brethren to fight against <\/p>\n

776
\n00:51:24,200 –> 00:51:28,080
\nthe enemies.
\nSo how are you going to respond?<\/p>\n

777
\n00:51:30,720 –> 00:51:33,200
\nYou see, true leadership,
\nbrothers and sisters, requires <\/p>\n

778
\n00:51:33,200 –> 00:51:38,520
\nthe ultimate spirit of love and
\nwilling sacrifice, the spirit of<\/p>\n

779
\n00:51:38,520 –> 00:51:45,360
\na volunteer who stands up and
\nsays, here am I see me. <\/p>\n

780
\n00:51:48,760 –> 00:51:55,360
\nBecause if we refuse to show
\ncare or show love or respect for<\/p>\n

781
\n00:51:55,360 –> 00:52:03,880
\nour buzzing sisters in need, we
\ntruly haven’t understood or <\/p>\n

782
\n00:52:03,880 –> 00:52:09,520
\nappreciated or valued the love
\nthat God has showed us. <\/p>\n

783
\n00:52:10,960 –> 00:52:15,280
\nYou see, God gave his only
\nbegotten Son, who laid down his <\/p>\n

784
\n00:52:15,280 –> 00:52:21,440
\nlife as a willing volunteer, who
\njeopardised his life, brothers <\/p>\n

785
\n00:52:21,440 –> 00:52:28,280
\nand sisters, that whilst we as
\nyet sinners might have the hope <\/p>\n

786
\n00:52:28,280 –> 00:52:36,560
\nof salvation and eternal life.
\nAnd He left us not a request, <\/p>\n

787
\n00:52:37,840 –> 00:52:41,120
\nnot an option, not even a
\nsuggestion. <\/p>\n

788
\n00:52:41,120 –> 00:52:46,880
\nBrother and sisters, He left us
\na commandment that we love one <\/p>\n

789
\n00:52:46,880 –> 00:52:54,280
\nanother as he has loved us.
\nHow much do we value that <\/p>\n

790
\n00:52:54,280 –> 00:52:57,360
\nsacrifice, brothers and sisters
\nand young people? <\/p>\n

791
\n00:52:57,640 –> 00:53:01,880
\nHow much does his example of
\nleadership inspire you to <\/p>\n

792
\n00:53:01,880 –> 00:53:04,880
\nrespond?
\nWell, only you can answer that <\/p>\n

793
\n00:53:04,880 –> 00:53:09,120
\nquestion, but it demands an
\nanswer. <\/p>\n

794
\n00:53:09,120 –> 00:53:14,160
\nIt’s your choice.
\nYou have to make the right one. <\/p>\n

795
\n00:53:15,920 –> 00:53:17,640
\nYou know, it’s remarkable,
\nbrothers and sisters, because <\/p>\n

796
