\n00:00:05,360 –> 00:00:10,600
\nnewsletters that we’ve had over
\nthe past few weeks, our Bible <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:10,600 –> 00:00:14,080
\nweek this week is going to be on
\nDeborah the Inspirational <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:14,080 –> 00:00:17,360
\nProphetess.
\nWe’re and we’re very grateful to<\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:17,360 –> 00:00:21,240
\nhave Sam and the family here
\nwith us. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:22,360 –> 00:00:25,960
\nAnd for our first study, we’re
\ngoing to be looking at Judges 4 <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:25,960 –> 00:00:30,400
\nversus 1 to 5.
\nI’d ask Matt to read that for us<\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:31,240 –> 00:00:33,400
\nand if Sam can come up after
\nthat, that’d be great. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:33,520 –> 00:00:47,600
\nThanks.
\nJudges chapter 4, verses 1:00 to<\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:47,600 –> 00:00:52,720
\n5:00.
\nAnd the children of Israel again<\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:52,720 –> 00:00:58,080
\ndid evil in the sight of Yahweh,
\nwhen Ehud was dead, anyway sold <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:58,080 –> 00:01:02,080
\nthem into the hand of Jabin,
\nking of Canaan, that reigned in <\/p>\n
13
\n00:01:02,080 –> 00:01:06,760
\nHazel, the captain of whose host
\nwas Sisera, which dwelt in <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:06,760 –> 00:01:11,520
\nharsheth of the Gentiles.
\nAnd the children of Israel cried<\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:11,520 –> 00:01:16,000
\nunto the Lord, for he had 900
\nChariots of iron, and 20 years <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:16,000 –> 00:01:18,200
\nhe mightily oppressed the
\nchildren of Israel. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:20,040 –> 00:01:24,200
\nAnd Deborah, a prophetess, the
\nwife of Lapidos, she judged <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:24,200 –> 00:01:28,080
\nIsrael at that time, and she
\ndwelt under the palm tree of <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:28,080 –> 00:01:33,240
\nDeborah, between Raymar and
\nBethel and Mount Ephraim, and <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:33,240 –> 00:01:35,760
\nthe children of Israel came up
\nto her for judgement. <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:46,750 –> 00:01:49,590
\nWell, good afternoon my dear
\nbrothers and sisters in the Lord<\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:49,590 –> 00:01:52,630
\nJesus Christ.
\nAnd young people, as you’ve <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:52,630 –> 00:01:57,950
\nnoticed in the accent, I am from
\nNew Zealand, my wife is not. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:58,870 –> 00:02:01,030
\nAnd for that she’s really
\nenjoying being back in her home <\/p>\n
25
\n00:02:01,030 –> 00:02:04,310
\ncountry.
\nAnd we are so excited to be back<\/p>\n
26
\n00:02:04,310 –> 00:02:08,160
\nhere in Adelaide and to be able
\nto share the fellowship with you<\/p>\n
27
\n00:02:08,160 –> 00:02:11,800
\nall, to acquaint ourselves with
\nold friends and to meet a bunch <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:11,800 –> 00:02:15,600
\nof new ones as we endeavour to
\nlearn and grow together around <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:15,600 –> 00:02:20,360
\nGod’s Word.
\nOver the course of. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:20,680 –> 00:02:25,840
\nThe week we want to uncover, I
\nsuppose, some essential lessons <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:25,840 –> 00:02:29,280
\nand stories from the life of
\nsome remarkable people that <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:29,280 –> 00:02:33,440
\nlived in the time of the judges.
\nIn the time period of the <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:33,440 –> 00:02:34,920
\njudges.
\nIt’s probably one of the most <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:34,920 –> 00:02:38,280
\nintriguing sections of the Bible
\nand and in the history of the <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:38,280 –> 00:02:39,840
\nnation of Israel.
\nIt’s a time. <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:40,280 –> 00:02:44,400
\nThat was characterized by just
\ncountless battles and immense <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:44,400 –> 00:02:48,520
\nbloodshed and extreme violence.
\nYou know it was a. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:48,520 –> 00:02:52,840
\nTime we find the nation, though,
\nthat they frequently lost sight <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:52,840 –> 00:02:56,480
\nof the God whom they served and
\nturned aside from practicing <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:56,480 –> 00:02:59,920
\ntrue worship under Joshua’s
\nguidance, and become steeped in <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:59,920 –> 00:03:03,680
\nidolatry and in corruption and
\nrapid moral decay. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:03:03,680 –> 00:03:07,360
\nAnd what we find, brothers and
\nsisters, is we find that this is<\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:07,360 –> 00:03:11,640
\na state that they inherited
\nbecause of a lack. <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:11,920 –> 00:03:17,280
\nOf faithful leadership from the
\nappearance generation. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:18,840 –> 00:03:22,000
\nIt’s a state though, that they
\naccepted as the appearance <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:22,000 –> 00:03:26,080
\nfailed to.
\nUtterly remove the nations from <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:26,080 –> 00:03:29,800
\nbefore them, as they received
\ntheir inheritance upon entering <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:29,800 –> 00:03:30,720
\nthe promised.
\nLand. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:31,600 –> 00:03:33,720
\nIn the book of the Judges,
\nthere’s a documented. <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:33,720 –> 00:03:35,400
\nNarrative isn’t it by the
\nsisters? <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:35,400 –> 00:03:39,920
\nOf a nation in whose history?
\nDepicted. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:39,920 –> 00:03:44,280
\nFaithlessness.
\nIdolatry and corruption. <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:45,880 –> 00:03:50,080
\nAnd yet scattered through this.
\nDark period of Israel’s times. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:50,360 –> 00:03:54,280
\nThe Scripture highlights for us
\nsome remarkable characters who <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:54,280 –> 00:03:59,160
\ndemonstrate incredible faith,
\nbravery and spiritual <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:59,160 –> 00:04:02,120
\nperception.
\nWhom God used. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:04:02,160 –> 00:04:08,160
\nAnd God raised to inspire and to
\nencourage and to revitalize a <\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:08,160 –> 00:04:09,880
\nremnant of His.
\nPeople. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:10,280 –> 00:04:14,680
\nTo continue to keep the promise
\nand his purpose alive. <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:15,040 –> 00:04:17,399
\nThroughout time do.
\nYou know it’s those. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:17,399 –> 00:04:20,720
\nInspirational examples that we
\nwant to explore with Deborah and<\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:20,720 –> 00:04:24,480
\nBarrett and jail, and we wish to
\ngain some incredible insights <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:24,480 –> 00:04:26,520
\nfrom powerful lessons in
\nleadership. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:26,520 –> 00:04:29,160
\nFor us today.
\nAnd to gain. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:29,160 –> 00:04:33,360
\nEncouragement from what?
\nThey were able to achieve as we <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:33,360 –> 00:04:36,360
\nendeavour to cast.
\nAside our enemies and the <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:36,360 –> 00:04:40,600
\nenvironment that we live in to
\ntry and seize our inheritance <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:40,600 –> 00:04:42,240
\nand prepare for the Kingdom and
\nso. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:42,480 –> 00:04:44,920
\nOver the course of our six
\nstudies together, we’re going to<\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:44,920 –> 00:04:47,360
\nhave a look at six hey, 6
\nstudies. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:47,720 –> 00:04:50,840
\nYour old sixes.
\nYes, 6 Right. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:50,840 –> 00:04:53,040
\nSo Deborah, we’re going to have
\na look at tonight, the <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:53,040 –> 00:04:55,000
\ninspirational prophetess.
\nBut before we look at Deborah, <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:55,000 –> 00:04:57,440
\nwe want to have a look at the
\nbackground to her. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:57,440 –> 00:04:59,320
\nRemarkable.
\nWhat makes her so remarkable? <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:59,320 –> 00:05:01,520
\nWe want to have a look at the
\nbackground to her as a person <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:03,000 –> 00:05:05,080
\nand then in our second study
\ntonight, we’re going to have a <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:05,080 –> 00:05:06,440
\nlook at Bayreq.
\nWhat? <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:06,440 –> 00:05:07,200
\nWas.
\nHis. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:07,200 –> 00:05:08,960
\nChallenge.
\nWhat was the problem? <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:08,960 –> 00:05:11,840
\nHow?
\nDeborah motivates him to get him<\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:11,840 –> 00:05:12,960
\nto take.
\nA role. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:12,960 –> 00:05:16,120
\nThat he was hesitantly not
\nfulfilling. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:16,520 –> 00:05:19,560
\nAnd to uncover how she worked
\nwith him so that we can learn <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:19,560 –> 00:05:21,840
\nlessons around helping each
\nother as well in our war. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:21,840 –> 00:05:25,160
\nThen we’re going to have a look
\nin our exhort tomorrow at the <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:25,360 –> 00:05:28,840
\nthe lovely story of jail and
\nwe’re going to call they’ve <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:28,880 –> 00:05:32,960
\ncalled that the displaced wife
\nand we’ll see why as we get into<\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:32,960 –> 00:05:35,080
\nthe story.
\nAnd then we want to have a look <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:35,080 –> 00:05:37,920
\nin our fourth study during the
\nmiddle of the week on the tribes<\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:37,920 –> 00:05:41,840
\nand Debra’s song, right what
\nDebra sings about what makes <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:41,840 –> 00:05:43,080
\nher.
\nAnd Bayreq. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:43,080 –> 00:05:46,400
\nSing their.
\nHearts out about this, about <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:46,400 –> 00:05:48,680
\nwhat they did and what they
\ndidn’t do and what were they <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:48,680 –> 00:05:51,920
\nwere so encouraged and what were
\nthey were so disgusted by when <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:51,920 –> 00:05:53,400
\nthey looked at the nation at the
\ntime. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:54,400 –> 00:05:57,200
\nAnd then on our Thursday night,
\nI think it is, we want to have a<\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:57,200 –> 00:06:00,600
\nlook at the interesting insight
\nthat Deborah sings about at the <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:00,640 –> 00:06:04,200
\nend of Judges Chapter 5 about.
\nSisra’s mum, Sisra’s mother. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:04,200 –> 00:06:06,680
\nWhat on earth?
\nWas Deborah talking about at the<\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:06,680 –> 00:06:10,360
\nend of Judges Chapter 5 about a
\nwoman who’s dwelling in a castle<\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:10,720 –> 00:06:13,760
\nwith her maidens and what was
\nwhat was actually going on in <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:13,760 –> 00:06:16,160
\nthe story and what we find
\nbrothers and sisters in that <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:16,160 –> 00:06:20,680
\nstudy is this, that actually the
\ndestruction of Sisera? <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:21,080 –> 00:06:24,600
\nWas only but a prelude to the
\nmain event. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:25,280 –> 00:06:27,800
\nThat actually, Sisar’s
\ndestruction was actually just a <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:27,800 –> 00:06:30,640
\ncatalyst for the nation to
\nrespond and to seize their <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:30,640 –> 00:06:32,640
\ninheritance that they’d failed
\nto take. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:32,960 –> 00:06:34,560
\nAnd that’s what Deborah and Bay
\nare going to sing about. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:35,280 –> 00:06:36,400
\nAnd Sisar’s mum?
\nWell. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:36,800 –> 00:06:38,280
\nWell, she was the queen of the
\nempire. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:38,280 –> 00:06:40,640
\nAnd of course the type is
\nabsolutely obvious with <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:40,640 –> 00:06:45,000
\nArmageddon and the subjugation
\nof Europe, with this woman who <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:45,000 –> 00:06:48,160
\ndominated a castle.
\nAnd then what we want to do in <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:48,160 –> 00:06:50,400
\nour final study, together with
\nthe exhort on the following <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:50,400 –> 00:06:52,200
\nSunday, is to have a look at
\nthis expression. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:52,200 –> 00:06:55,000
\nLeading captivity, Captive what?
\nWhat? <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:55,000 –> 00:06:58,120
\nDoes Paul?
\nSee in Deborah’s song and in <\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:58,120 –> 00:07:01,280
\nDavid’s commentary that gets
\npulled from Moses. <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:01,720 –> 00:07:03,280
\nThat was so remarkable about
\nwhat? <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:03,280 –> 00:07:06,480
\nChrist accomplished.
\nAnd how he led. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:06,480 –> 00:07:10,280
\nAnd what that demands of each
\nand every one of us in terms of <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:10,280 –> 00:07:14,000
\nour response and our leadership
\nand our ecclesias so. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:14,520 –> 00:07:16,760
\nThat’s the course.
\nOf the next 6 studies hopefully <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:17,200 –> 00:07:21,200
\nhopefully stay with us as we
\nendeavour to to go through this <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:21,800 –> 00:07:22,960
\nremarkable.
\nStory. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:24,120 –> 00:07:29,040
\nOK, so Deborah and the story in
\nthe context of her times to <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:29,360 –> 00:07:30,080
\nthis.
\nStudy. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:30,200 –> 00:07:35,200
\nWe want to spend some time.
\nTo show that the issue of the <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:35,200 –> 00:07:36,600
\nnation.
\nAt. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:36,600 –> 00:07:42,480
\nThis point in time was.
\nThat of failed leadership. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:44,000 –> 00:07:45,640
\nThere weren’t people standing
\nup. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:45,960 –> 00:07:50,720
\nTo take the responsibility
\namongst the nation to help them <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:50,920 –> 00:07:52,920
\nunderstand God’s purpose and
\nGod’s. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:52,920 –> 00:07:54,280
\nWays.
\nWhy was that? <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:54,280 –> 00:07:56,920
\nWhat happened?
\nHow did they get to this point? <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:57,600 –> 00:07:59,440
\nYet.
\nHis remark wasn’t the nation was<\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:59,440 –> 00:08:02,680
\na come out of Egypt, they.
\nSeize their inheritance. <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:02,680 –> 00:08:06,680
\nGod works amongst them, and then
\nonly a very short period of time<\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:06,680 –> 00:08:09,040
\nlater they’ve totally lost the
\nplot. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:09,040 –> 00:08:10,680
\nHow and.
\nWhy did that occur? <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:10,680 –> 00:08:13,640
\nWell, tonight we this afternoon
\nwe want to actually have a look <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:13,640 –> 00:08:16,440
\nat how that occurred.
\nAnd so we. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:16,440 –> 00:08:18,280
\nFind as Israel.
\nLeaves the. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:18,280 –> 00:08:22,000
\nWilderness and crosses.
\nOver the river Jordan Joshua <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:22,000 –> 00:08:26,160
\nassists the nation.
\nTo take control. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:27,120 –> 00:08:31,400
\nAnd after a series of military
\ncampaigns, the nation who once <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:31,440 –> 00:08:34,640
\noccupied the land of Canaan were
\nsubdued and the 12. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:34,640 –> 00:08:38,720
\nTribes received their allotted
\ninheritance in the land and the.<\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:38,720 –> 00:08:39,880
\nLevites.
\nWell, they. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:39,880 –> 00:08:42,840
\nReceived their cities of refuge
\nand and the Tabernacle. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:42,840 –> 00:08:45,080
\nWas established in Shiloh and we
\nknow that that’s. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:45,120 –> 00:08:47,360
\nAll the story because.
\nIn Joshua 18 don’t turn this up <\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:47,360 –> 00:08:49,960
\nin verse one it says that the
\nland was. <\/p>\n
155
\n00:08:49,960 –> 00:08:54,320
\nSubdued.
\nBefore them, but come with me to<\/p>\n
156
\n00:08:54,320 –> 00:08:56,440
\nJoshua chapter 21.
\nI want to show you that there’s <\/p>\n
157
\n00:08:56,440 –> 00:08:59,960
\nsome interesting expressions
\nthat we can see start to unfold <\/p>\n
158
\n00:08:59,960 –> 00:09:03,840
\nas we get into the story of this
\nstory of judges. <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:04,000 –> 00:09:08,200
\nSo Joshua 21, the land is
\nsubdued before them, and Joshua <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:08,200 –> 00:09:14,680
\nsees in Joshua 2021 and verse 43
\nhe sees. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:20,240 –> 00:09:21,920
\nRight.
\nSo thus, thus everyone in their <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:21,920 –> 00:09:24,360
\nsuburbs were given to the
\nLevites this their inheritance. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:24,360 –> 00:09:26,720
\nAnd it says in the summary of
\nJoshua 21. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:26,720 –> 00:09:28,920
\nAnd of course, if you went
\nthrough back of Joshua 21, it’s <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:28,920 –> 00:09:32,880
\nthe the allocation of the cities
\nof refuge and the inheritances <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:32,880 –> 00:09:35,640
\nof of of Levi.
\nBut at the end of that. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:35,640 –> 00:09:38,640
\nChapter it says in verse 43,
\nJoshua 21 and. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:38,640 –> 00:09:43,840
\nYahweh gave unto Israel all the
\nland. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:09:44,000 –> 00:09:48,360
\nWhich he sweared to give.
\nUnto their fathers and. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:09:48,400 –> 00:09:50,880
\nThey possessed it and dwelt
\ntherein, so they received. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:09:50,920 –> 00:09:51,640
\nAll of it.
\nIt was the. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:09:51,640 –> 00:09:56,280
\nLand notice that he swear unto
\nhis your colouring and pencil <\/p>\n
173
\n00:09:56,680 –> 00:10:01,840
\ntheir fathers right, and Yahweh
\ngave them rest all about <\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:01,840 –> 00:10:04,200
\naccording to all that he swear
\nunto. <\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:04,480 –> 00:10:09,520
\nTheir fathers, and there stood
\nnot a man of all. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:09,560 –> 00:10:12,920
\nTheir enemies before them.
\nYahweh delivered them all. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:13,160 –> 00:10:18,640
\nTheir enemies into their hand.
\nThey failed not ought any good <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:18,640 –> 00:10:21,160
\nthing.
\nWhich Yahweh had spoken unto the<\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:21,160 –> 00:10:23,880
\nHouse of Israel.
\nAll came to pass. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:23,880 –> 00:10:28,120
\nCan you get the emphasis of
\nJoshua 21 that God promised that<\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:28,120 –> 00:10:32,040
\nHe would give unto their fathers
\neverything that He said, and <\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:32,040 –> 00:10:33,920
\nexactly what He promised He
\ngave. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:34,640 –> 00:10:37,240
\nAnd he gave unto their.
\nFathers all. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:37,480 –> 00:10:40,800
\nCame to pass, that Yahweh had
\nspoken unto the house. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:40,800 –> 00:10:41,680
\nOf Israel.
\nAll of it. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:42,000 –> 00:10:45,080
\nCame to pass.
\nAnd so, brothers and sisters and<\/p>\n
187
\n00:10:45,080 –> 00:10:46,640
\nyoung people.
\nUnder Joshua’s leadership. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:10:46,640 –> 00:10:50,120
\nAnd under their guidance, the
\ntribes took their inheritance. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:10:51,320 –> 00:10:55,360
\nAnd whilst the work was started,
\nthey remained yet work to be <\/p>\n
190
\n00:10:55,360 –> 00:10:58,480
\ncompleted.
\nWhilst the land had been subdued<\/p>\n
191
\n00:10:58,480 –> 00:11:03,480
\nbefore them, the nations amongst
\nthem had not yet fully been <\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:03,480 –> 00:11:07,560
\neradicated.
\nThey had to yet finish what <\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:07,720 –> 00:11:12,560
\nJoshua had begun, and Joshua
\nknew that, and he knew the <\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:12,560 –> 00:11:14,680
\nimportance of that.
\nAnd he calls the nation. <\/p>\n
195
\n00:11:14,680 –> 00:11:18,960
\nTogether and Joshua chapter 23
\ncome with me to Joshua chapter <\/p>\n
196
\n00:11:18,960 –> 00:11:20,800
\n23 so.
\nThey had begun. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:11:20,920 –> 00:11:24,080
\nThey had subdued the land all
\nthe enemies had been given into.<\/p>\n
198
\n00:11:24,080 –> 00:11:27,400
\nTheir hand, everything God had
\npromised them, had happened, and<\/p>\n
199
\n00:11:27,400 –> 00:11:30,120
\nJoshua knew that there was a
\nlesson still that they had to. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:30,120 –> 00:11:32,480
\nFinish.
\nAnd so he calls the nation. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:32,480 –> 00:11:35,960
\nTogether at the end of his life,
\nto warn them and to exhort them <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:36,160 –> 00:11:38,880
\nand to encourage them to
\ncomplete the task. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:39,560 –> 00:11:43,400
\nTo remain faithful to their
\nobliteration of the enemies. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:11:43,560 –> 00:11:47,040
\nAnd so in Joshua 23 and verse
\none it says and it came to pass <\/p>\n
205
\n00:11:47,400 –> 00:11:48,680
\na.
\nLong time. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:11:48,720 –> 00:11:51,240
\nAfter.
\nYahweh had given rest unto <\/p>\n
207
\n00:11:51,240 –> 00:11:54,560
\nIsrael from all the enemies
\nroundabout, that Joshua waxed <\/p>\n
208
\n00:11:54,560 –> 00:11:58,840
\nold and was stricken in age.
\nJoshua can no longer lead in <\/p>\n
209
\n00:11:58,840 –> 00:12:02,120
\nfront of them.
\nAnd Joshua calls the nation of <\/p>\n
210
\n00:12:02,120 –> 00:12:07,120
\nIsrael together and says to
\nthem, calls for the elders <\/p>\n
211
\n00:12:07,120 –> 00:12:10,000
\nnotice.
\nAnd for the heads, and for their<\/p>\n
212
\n00:12:10,000 –> 00:12:12,160
\njudges, and.
\nFor their officers. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:12:12,160 –> 00:12:14,640
\nWhy does he do that rather than
\nsisters and young people? <\/p>\n
214
\n00:12:15,160 –> 00:12:20,080
\nBecause he’s wanting to inspire
\nthe leaders amongst the nation <\/p>\n
215
\n00:12:20,480 –> 00:12:23,960
\nto continue the work that he now
\ncan’t do. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:12:25,120 –> 00:12:27,600
\nHe calls for the leadership
\namongst the nation and he. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:27,600 –> 00:12:33,520
\nSays to them, I’m old, I’m
\nstricken an age, and you have <\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:33,520 –> 00:12:36,720
\nseen all that Yahweh your God
\nhath done unto you, all these <\/p>\n
219
\n00:12:36,720 –> 00:12:40,000
\nnations because of you.
\nYahweh, your God is he that hath<\/p>\n
220
\n00:12:40,000 –> 00:12:42,040
\nfought for you.
\nYou already know. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:12:42,720 –> 00:12:44,720
\nNotice the past tense.
\nHe’s already fought for you. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:12:44,720 –> 00:12:49,440
\nYou know that.
\nSo he says, Behold, I have <\/p>\n
223
\n00:12:49,440 –> 00:12:53,080
\ndivided verse 4 unto you by lot
\nthese nations that remain. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:12:53,400 –> 00:12:55,440
\nTo be an inheritance.
\nFor all your tribes. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:12:55,720 –> 00:12:58,400
\nFrom Jordan, with all the
\nnations that I have cut off, <\/p>\n
226
\n00:12:58,680 –> 00:13:00,280
\neven unto the great.
\nSea westward and. <\/p>\n
227
\n00:13:00,280 –> 00:13:02,720
\nYahweh, your God, He.
\nShall he’s the future? <\/p>\n
228
\n00:13:02,960 –> 00:13:05,680
\nHe shall.
\nExpel them from before you. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:13:06,120 –> 00:13:08,720
\nAnd drive.
\nThem from out of your sight, and<\/p>\n
230
\n00:13:08,720 –> 00:13:09,440
\nye.
\nShall. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:13:09,440 –> 00:13:13,520
\nPossess their land as Yahweh.
\nYour God hath promised you, but <\/p>\n
232
\n00:13:13,520 –> 00:13:14,400
\nhe says.
\nIt. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:13:14,400 –> 00:13:15,960
\nRequires something really
\nspecial. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:13:17,200 –> 00:13:24,440
\nBe ye therefore verse 6 very
\ncourageous to keep and to do. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:13:24,440 –> 00:13:26,760
\nAll that is written in the book
\nof the Law of Moses, that you <\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:26,760 –> 00:13:29,960
\nturn not aside from the left to
\nthe right, that you come not <\/p>\n
237
\n00:13:29,960 –> 00:13:33,440
\namong these nations.
\nThese that remain among you <\/p>\n
238
\n00:13:34,120 –> 00:13:36,840
\nneither make mention of the name
\nof their gods, nor cause them to<\/p>\n
239
\n00:13:36,840 –> 00:13:39,080
\nswear by you.
\nNeither serve nor bow yourselves<\/p>\n
240
\n00:13:39,080 –> 00:13:40,920
\nunto them, but cleave unto
\nYahweh. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:13:40,920 –> 00:13:44,680
\nYour God is ye have done this
\nday for Yahweh. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:13:44,680 –> 00:13:47,360
\nHath driven out from among you
\ngreat nations and strong. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:13:47,880 –> 00:13:50,880
\nBut As for you, no man.
\nShall be able to stand before <\/p>\n
244
\n00:13:50,880 –> 00:13:53,240
\nyou this day one man who should
\nchase 1000. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:13:53,800 –> 00:14:01,040
\nFor Yahweh your God, here it is.
\nThat fighteth for you as He hath<\/p>\n
246
\n00:14:01,040 –> 00:14:03,480
\npromised you.
\nCan you see the links from <\/p>\n
247
\n00:14:03,760 –> 00:14:06,800
\nchapter 21 to chapter 23?
\nTake, he says, Here’s the <\/p>\n
248
\n00:14:06,800 –> 00:14:11,360
\nexaltation.
\nTake good heed, therefore, unto <\/p>\n
249
\n00:14:11,360 –> 00:14:13,320
\nyourselves.
\nThat ye love. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:14:13,320 –> 00:14:17,360
\nYahweh your God, else if you do
\nin any wise, go back and cleave <\/p>\n
251
\n00:14:17,360 –> 00:14:19,560
\nunto the.
\nRemnant of these nations, even <\/p>\n
252
\n00:14:19,560 –> 00:14:22,920
\nthose that remain among you, and
\nmake marriages with them, and go<\/p>\n
253
\n00:14:22,920 –> 00:14:25,920
\non unto them, and they do, you
\nknow, he says for a surety. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:14:27,440 –> 00:14:31,640
\nThat Yahweh your God will no
\nmore drive out any of these <\/p>\n
255
\n00:14:31,640 –> 00:14:32,760
\nnations from.
\nBefore you. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:14:33,400 –> 00:14:38,400
\nBut they shall be sneers and
\ntraps unto you, and scourges in <\/p>\n
257
\n00:14:38,400 –> 00:14:40,280
\nyour sight.
\nAnd thorns in your eyes, and <\/p>\n
258
\n00:14:40,280 –> 00:14:44,000
\nuntil ye perish.
\nFrom off the good land which <\/p>\n
259
\n00:14:44,000 –> 00:14:49,720
\nYahweh hath given for you.
\nAnd so Joshua’s message was <\/p>\n
260
\n00:14:49,720 –> 00:14:51,200
\npretty simple.
\nWas the exhortation was it? <\/p>\n
261
\n00:14:51,200 –> 00:14:54,560
\nRemove them or be removed.
\nYourself. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:14:55,280 –> 00:14:58,560
\nIt’s simple.
\nYou’ve got to finish the job <\/p>\n
263
\n00:14:58,560 –> 00:15:00,840
\nwe’ve started.
\nElse. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:15:00,840 –> 00:15:04,320
\nYou will be removed.
\nWatch out for. <\/p>\n
265
\n00:15:04,320 –> 00:15:07,280
\nThese nations and just in your
\nmind, just remember that verse <\/p>\n
266
\n00:15:07,280 –> 00:15:10,440
\n13 know for a certainty that
\nYahweh of God shall no more <\/p>\n
267
\n00:15:10,440 –> 00:15:12,600
\ndrive out any of these nations
\nfrom before you, but they shall <\/p>\n
268
\n00:15:12,600 –> 00:15:14,240
\nbe sneers.
\nAnd traps. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:15:14,240 –> 00:15:15,040
\nNotice that.
\nWe’ll see. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:15:15,440 –> 00:15:20,760
\nThat’s exactly what happens.
\nIn Psalm 106 and so. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:15:20,920 –> 00:15:24,320
\nThey had to be very courageous.
\nAnd he warns them about the <\/p>\n
272
\n00:15:24,320 –> 00:15:25,720
\nnations that remained amongst
\nthem. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:15:25,800 –> 00:15:27,840
\nThey had.
\nTo finish. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:15:28,280 –> 00:15:30,800
\nThe job and if you had the
\ncolouring in pencil, colour it <\/p>\n
275
\n00:15:30,800 –> 00:15:33,640
\nin.
\nThose that might remain among <\/p>\n
276
\n00:15:33,640 –> 00:15:35,360
\nyou all.
\nRight those that remain around <\/p>\n
277
\n00:15:35,360 –> 00:15:36,360
\nyou.
\nHabits twice verse. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:15:36,360 –> 00:15:39,040
\nSeven and verse 12.
\nThere was a remnant that. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:15:39,040 –> 00:15:41,320
\nStill.
\nNeeded to be eradicated from <\/p>\n
280
\n00:15:41,600 –> 00:15:45,480
\namong them.
\nAnd So what happens? <\/p>\n
281
\n00:15:47,000 –> 00:15:50,320
\nThe leadership passes away those
\nthat are. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:15:50,320 –> 00:15:56,480
\nStrong die in the next
\ngeneration. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:15:57,040 –> 00:16:04,440
\nThose are sisters have to stand
\nup and so we come now to Judges <\/p>\n
284
\n00:16:04,440 –> 00:16:11,710
\nchapter 1.
\nAnd So what happens now is <\/p>\n
285
\n00:16:12,110 –> 00:16:17,070
\nJoshua dies verse 1 of Judges
\nchapter 1 it says now. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:16:17,070 –> 00:16:20,400
\nAfter the death of Joshua.
\nIt came to pass that the <\/p>\n
287
\n00:16:20,400 –> 00:16:24,320
\nchildren of Israel asked Yahweh,
\nsaying, Who shall go up for US <\/p>\n
288
\n00:16:24,320 –> 00:16:26,120
\nagainst the canalites first to
\nfight? <\/p>\n
289
\n00:16:26,120 –> 00:16:29,360
\nLet’s let’s take Joshua’s
\nexpression and Joshua’s words, <\/p>\n
290
\n00:16:29,640 –> 00:16:34,280
\nand let’s finish the job.
\nAnd so they begin. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:16:35,480 –> 00:16:37,640
\nAnd what happens when the
\nsisters and we won’t have time <\/p>\n
292
\n00:16:37,640 –> 00:16:40,800
\nto spend in in Judges chapter 1,
\nbut in the screen you’ll see. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:16:41,520 –> 00:16:42,800
\nThat they begin.
\nTo. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:16:42,800 –> 00:16:45,320
\nEradicate the nations.
\nThat were amongst. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:16:45,320 –> 00:16:48,320
\nThem with gusto.
\nSo Judah takes Simeon with him. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:16:48,960 –> 00:16:51,720
\nAfter seeking Yahweh’s blessing
\nand they start out with <\/p>\n
297
\n00:16:51,760 –> 00:16:56,400
\nincredible determination and so
\nin verses. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:16:56,400 –> 00:17:00,200
\nFour to seven the Canaanites by
\nwith Judah are destroyed and <\/p>\n
299
\n00:17:00,200 –> 00:17:02,600
\nconquered in Jerusalem.
\nThe Canaanites. <\/p>\n
300
\n00:17:02,600 –> 00:17:05,400
\nThen in verses 8 to. 15 are
\novercome and destroyed in <\/p>\n
301
\n00:17:05,400 –> 00:17:08,040
\nHebron.
\nThe Canaanites are wiped out and<\/p>\n
302
\n00:17:08,040 –> 00:17:11,440
\ndestroyed in Hormar in verse 17.
\nThe Canaanites are annihilated <\/p>\n
303
\n00:17:11,440 –> 00:17:15,359
\nand destroyed in Philistia and
\nGaza and Ashkelon and Ekron. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:17:15,359 –> 00:17:19,800
\nThey’re all gone, Judah shot off
\nto a flying start. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:17:21,119 –> 00:17:22,319
\nWhy?
\nWe’ll come and have a look <\/p>\n
306
\n00:17:22,319 –> 00:17:24,359
\nacross the page.
\nJudges chapter 1 and verse 9. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:17:24,359 –> 00:17:27,560
\nWhy was it that they could do
\nthis with so much? <\/p>\n
308
\n00:17:27,599 –> 00:17:36,400
\nEase verse 19 seats that Yahweh
\nwas with Judah, and he drove out<\/p>\n
309
\n00:17:36,400 –> 00:17:37,880
\nthe inhabitants of the mountain,
\nhe. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:17:37,880 –> 00:17:41,120
\nStarted off with a flying start
\nbecause Yahweh was with him, He <\/p>\n
311
\n00:17:41,120 –> 00:17:42,520
\nsought Yahweh’s blessing and
\nthey. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:17:42,520 –> 00:17:48,720
\nWent for it.
\nBut then the mission came to a <\/p>\n
313
\n00:17:48,720 –> 00:17:53,400
\ngrinding halt in the verse
\nseason. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:17:53,400 –> 00:17:59,480
\nVerse 19 But could not drive out
\nthe inhabitants of the valley, <\/p>\n
315
\n00:18:00,760 –> 00:18:05,640
\nbecause they had Chariots of
\niron. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:18:08,800 –> 00:18:09,960
\nYou know they couldn’t drive
\nthem out. <\/p>\n
317
\n00:18:09,960 –> 00:18:13,200
\nThey had Chariots of iron.
\nYou see, Judah was absolutely <\/p>\n
318
\n00:18:13,200 –> 00:18:16,000
\nenthusiastic about their work
\nand their inheritance. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:18:16,000 –> 00:18:18,920
\nThey commenced their battles
\nwith eager zeal and passion, <\/p>\n
320
\n00:18:18,920 –> 00:18:21,120
\nsupported by their.
\nBrethren from Simeon. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:18:21,800 –> 00:18:23,440
\nHowever, as soon as the work
\nstarted to. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:18:23,440 –> 00:18:26,000
\nEncounter some obstacles and
\nchallenge they came face to <\/p>\n
323
\n00:18:26,000 –> 00:18:27,720
\nface.
\nWith. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:18:28,520 –> 00:18:29,800
\nChariots of.
\nIron. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:18:29,800 –> 00:18:31,560
\nAnd all of a sudden, this is
\ntheir faith. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:18:31,560 –> 00:18:33,200
\nAnd their trust in God was
\ntested. <\/p>\n
327
\n00:18:35,120 –> 00:18:39,200
\nAnd it melted.
\nI think sometimes we can be <\/p>\n
328
\n00:18:39,200 –> 00:18:40,480
\nvery.
\nEasy to judge. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:18:40,840 –> 00:18:46,000
\nJudah in this time.
\nYou know, we can think, oh, come<\/p>\n
330
\n00:18:46,000 –> 00:18:48,400
\non, Why?
\nWhy couldn’t they carry it off? <\/p>\n
331
\n00:18:49,560 –> 00:18:52,520
\nYou know, it’s not.
\nIt’s not hard to think. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:18:52,520 –> 00:18:54,080
\nHow hard?
\nThat might have been brothers <\/p>\n
333
\n00:18:54,080 –> 00:18:55,920
\nand sisters.
\nThey were fighting tanks. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:18:55,920 –> 00:18:58,840
\nWith toothpicks.
\nThey had nothing in their hand. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:18:58,960 –> 00:19:00,760
\nThey were bringing a knife to a
\ngunfight. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:19:00,760 –> 00:19:02,800
\nHere.
\nThe Chariots, they had nothing. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:19:03,400 –> 00:19:07,800
\nBut they had Yahweh.
\nAnd Joshua and you could be <\/p>\n
338
\n00:19:07,800 –> 00:19:11,600
\neasily forgiven for for for sort
\nof, you know, forgiving Judith <\/p>\n
339
\n00:19:11,600 –> 00:19:15,480
\nfor having some challenges.
\nBut God was with them. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:19:15,600 –> 00:19:18,520
\nAnd without God, they would have
\nbeen completely ill equipped to <\/p>\n
341
\n00:19:18,520 –> 00:19:20,600
\nbattle the Canaanites.
\nBut Joshua had given them a <\/p>\n
342
\n00:19:20,600 –> 00:19:22,040
\nwarning.
\nOther sisters. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:19:22,240 –> 00:19:26,080
\nA warning that they would face.
\nThis. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:19:26,200 –> 00:19:29,360
\nChallenge.
\nThey would come face to faith, <\/p>\n
345
\n00:19:29,600 –> 00:19:30,960
\nfaced with Chariots.
\nOf iron. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:19:30,960 –> 00:19:32,440
\nHave a look.
\nJust hold your hand here and <\/p>\n
347
\n00:19:32,440 –> 00:19:36,320
\nJudges 1 and turned back to
\nJudges Joshua chapter. 17 He had<\/p>\n
348
\n00:19:36,320 –> 00:19:45,120
\nwarned them of this.
\nJoshua 17 verse 17 So this was <\/p>\n
349
\n00:19:45,160 –> 00:19:49,760
\nthis was Judah.
\nAnd the Sorry, this was the <\/p>\n
350
\n00:19:49,760 –> 00:19:51,680
\nchildren of.
\nJoseph, he’d told, told them <\/p>\n
351
\n00:19:51,680 –> 00:19:54,000
\nthat they’d face these things.
\nThey said, well, hey, look, you <\/p>\n
352
\n00:19:54,000 –> 00:19:56,400
\never the children of Joseph,
\nsaid verse 13. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:19:56,400 –> 00:19:59,280
\nHey mate, we haven’t got a big
\nenough portion. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:19:59,360 –> 00:20:01,720
\nYou know, why have you given me
\njust one lot and one portion to <\/p>\n
355
\n00:20:01,720 –> 00:20:03,560
\ninherit?
\nSaying I’m such a great people. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:20:03,560 –> 00:20:06,080
\nVerse 14.
\nAnd Joshua said, well, if you’re<\/p>\n
357
\n00:20:06,080 –> 00:20:08,040
\na great people, you get up into
\nthe wood and cut it down <\/p>\n
358
\n00:20:08,040 –> 00:20:10,760
\nyourselves, knock them out.
\nThe children said, well, the <\/p>\n
359
\n00:20:10,760 –> 00:20:12,880
\nHill’s not enough for us.
\nAll the Canaanites dwell on the <\/p>\n
360
\n00:20:12,880 –> 00:20:15,160
\nland of the valley.
\nThey’ve got Chariots of iron. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:20:15,160 –> 00:20:17,960
\nVerse 16.
\nAll right, both they of whom are<\/p>\n
362
\n00:20:17,960 –> 00:20:20,280
\nbest Shan and.
\nTheir towns of the Valley of <\/p>\n
363
\n00:20:20,280 –> 00:20:23,400
\nJezreel, they’ve got Chariots.
\nThe Valley of Jezreel, Brothers <\/p>\n
364
\n00:20:23,400 –> 00:20:26,560
\nand sisters, we’re going to come
\nacross the Chariots of iron. <\/p>\n
365
\n00:20:26,560 –> 00:20:28,640
\nIn the Valley of Jezreel all
\nagain. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:20:29,240 –> 00:20:31,240
\nIn the story of Deborah and
\nBayrek. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:20:32,520 –> 00:20:36,360
\nAnd Joseph says that’s going to
\nbe too hard for me, mate. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:20:36,560 –> 00:20:38,360
\nI’m taking this Hill Country.
\nYeah, I could. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:20:38,360 –> 00:20:39,400
\nCut down some.
\nForests. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:20:39,400 –> 00:20:40,720
\nSure I can.
\nBut I can’t. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:20:40,720 –> 00:20:43,040
\nTake that area.
\nAnd Josh, Josh Joshua turns <\/p>\n
372
\n00:20:43,040 –> 00:20:46,040
\naround in verse 17 and says.
\nTo the House of Joseph. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:20:46,080 –> 00:20:49,840
\nEven to Ephraim and.
\nManasseh says you thou. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:20:49,840 –> 00:20:52,120
\nArt a great people.
\nYou has. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:20:52,280 –> 00:20:54,600
\nGreat.
\nPower, thou shalt not just have <\/p>\n
376
\n00:20:54,600 –> 00:20:56,920
\none lot only, but the.
\nMountain shall be thine, for it <\/p>\n
377
\n00:20:56,920 –> 00:20:59,600
\nis the wood, and thou shalt cut
\nit down. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:20:59,840 –> 00:21:01,760
\nAnd the outcomes of it shall be
\nfor thine. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:21:02,000 –> 00:21:05,440
\nFor thou shalt.
\nDrive out the Canaanites, though<\/p>\n
380
\n00:21:05,440 –> 00:21:07,400
\nthey have iron Chariots and
\nthough they be strong. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:21:07,400 –> 00:21:11,080
\nYou will do it, says Joshua.
\nGet on with it. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:21:14,040 –> 00:21:20,200
\nAnd so Judah encounters Chariots
\nof iron and their their faith <\/p>\n
383
\n00:21:20,280 –> 00:21:28,960
\nmelts before he says, listen,
\nyou’re going to face that issue <\/p>\n
384
\n00:21:29,160 –> 00:21:32,640
\nand you need to be strong enough
\nto have courage that God is <\/p>\n
385
\n00:21:32,640 –> 00:21:33,800
\nstrong enough to help.
\nYou. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:21:34,760 –> 00:21:39,480
\nBut you know, he’s the sad, sad.
\nThing about judges chapter 1 <\/p>\n
387
\n00:21:41,040 –> 00:21:45,400
\nbecause judges 1 is now going to
\ndepict. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:21:45,400 –> 00:21:47,480
\nFor us.
\nWhat? <\/p>\n
389
\n00:21:47,480 –> 00:21:55,160
\nHappens when one person or one
\ntribe fails to finish the job. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:21:57,160 –> 00:22:02,200
\nYou see, it was.
\nJudah’s faithless leadership <\/p>\n
391
\n00:22:03,000 –> 00:22:06,640
\nbecause of.
\nChariots of iron that now set up<\/p>\n
392
\n00:22:06,920 –> 00:22:11,160
\na disastrous precedent.
\nFor the other nations? <\/p>\n
393
\n00:22:11,720 –> 00:22:16,280
\nWho failed to completely
\neradicate their challenges in <\/p>\n
394
\n00:22:16,280 –> 00:22:18,560
\ntheir inheritance.
\nJudah was first. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:22:19,880 –> 00:22:27,080
\nBut tribe after tribe after
\ntribe now failed to drive out. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:22:28,000 –> 00:22:32,720
\nThe inhabitants from the land
\ndue to first verse 19, they <\/p>\n
397
\n00:22:32,720 –> 00:22:36,720
\ncould not utterly drive out the
\ninhabitants of the valley, but <\/p>\n
398
\n00:22:36,720 –> 00:22:39,520
\nthen Benjamin couldn’t either.
\nVerse 21 Neither did Benjamin <\/p>\n
399
\n00:22:39,760 –> 00:22:43,320
\nDr. out the Jebusites, neither
\ncould Manasseh. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:22:43,320 –> 00:22:46,000
\nVerse 28 Neither did he utterly
\ndrive them out. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:22:46,120 –> 00:22:49,560
\nVerse 29 Ephraim Neither did
\nEphraim drive out the Canaanites<\/p>\n
402
\n00:22:50,000 –> 00:22:52,600
\nverse. 39 of the.
\nZebulun, drive out the <\/p>\n
403
\n00:22:52,600 –> 00:22:54,360
\ninhabitants.
\nVerse 31 and Asher. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:22:54,360 –> 00:22:56,760
\nNeither did Asher.
\nDrive out the inhabitants. <\/p>\n
405
\n00:22:56,760 –> 00:22:58,200
\nAnd they just coloured the
\npencil. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:22:58,200 –> 00:23:00,560
\nAnd right across.
\nThey could not utterly drive <\/p>\n
407
\n00:23:00,560 –> 00:23:03,000
\nthem out, did not utterly drive
\nthem out, did not do it one <\/p>\n
408
\n00:23:03,000 –> 00:23:05,680
\nafter the other.
\nJudah Benjamin Manassa. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:23:05,760 –> 00:23:10,160
\nEphraim Zebulun, Asher, one
\ntribe. <\/p>\n

\n00:23:10,280 –> 00:23:13,960
\nCascades now amongst the nation.
\nWhat like mould brothers and <\/p>\n
411
\n00:23:13,960 –> 00:23:19,840
\nsisters, that fear and cancer
\nnow permeates the remaining <\/p>\n
412
\n00:23:19,840 –> 00:23:23,840
\ntribes.
\nVerse 33 it says and NAFTA. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:23:23,840 –> 00:23:26,000
\nLie.
\nNeither did NAFTA lie. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:23:26,040 –> 00:23:29,200
\nDrive out the inhabitants.
\nNAFTA lie. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:23:29,200 –> 00:23:34,160
\nThat’s Bayerat’s drive.
\nAnd so, like mold and cancer, <\/p>\n
416
\n00:23:34,160 –> 00:23:37,400
\nthe faithlessness of one tribe
\nbegan to spread and infected the<\/p>\n
417
\n00:23:37,400 –> 00:23:40,840
\nremaining tribes and to
\nultimately Israel compromised <\/p>\n
418
\n00:23:41,200 –> 00:23:43,760
\ntheir divinely appointed.
\nPosition and purpose. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:23:43,760 –> 00:23:47,800
\nThey lost their faith.
\nLost their inheritance. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:23:50,440 –> 00:23:56,560
\nSo much so brother sisters, that
\nPsalm 106 verse 34 to 43 says we<\/p>\n
421
\n00:23:56,560 –> 00:23:58,120
\nwon’t read all of it, but here’s
\na section. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:23:58,800 –> 00:24:04,400
\nThey did not utterly destroy the
\nnations concerning whom Yahweh. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:24:04,400 –> 00:24:09,200
\nHad commanded them, but were
\nmingled among the heathen, and <\/p>\n
424
\n00:24:09,200 –> 00:24:13,600
\nlearned their works.
\nThey served their idols, which <\/p>\n
425
\n00:24:13,600 –> 00:24:20,880
\nwere as Joshua 23 verse 13 said,
\nwould be a snare unto them thus.<\/p>\n
426
\n00:24:21,000 –> 00:24:23,120
\nWere they defiled?
\nWith their own. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:24:23,120 –> 00:24:24,440
\nWorks.
\nAnd went. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:24:24,440 –> 00:24:28,960
\nTo whoring with their own
\ninventions, therefore, it says. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:24:29,200 –> 00:24:33,960
\nThe wrath of God kindled against
\nhis people in so much the that <\/p>\n
430
\n00:24:33,960 –> 00:24:38,640
\nhe hoard his own inheritance.
\nHe gave them into the hand of <\/p>\n
431
\n00:24:38,640 –> 00:24:40,840
\nthe heathen.
\nAnd then that hated. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:24:40,840 –> 00:24:44,720
\nThem ruled over them.
\nTheir enemies also oppressed <\/p>\n
433
\n00:24:44,720 –> 00:24:47,400
\nthem.
\nAnd they were brought in under <\/p>\n
434
\n00:24:47,600 –> 00:24:50,640
\nunder subjection, under their
\nhand. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:24:50,640 –> 00:24:53,720
\nAnd Psalm 106.
\nDescribes for us the. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:24:53,720 –> 00:24:56,920
\nProblem of the Time of the
\njudges. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:24:57,640 –> 00:25:02,600
\nBecause they fell amongst the
\nnation and intermingled. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:25:03,280 –> 00:25:06,280
\nHe gave it season to the hand of
\nthe heathen, and to them that <\/p>\n
439
\n00:25:06,280 –> 00:25:09,040
\nhated them that.
\nThey ruled over them. <\/p>\n
440
\n00:25:09,040 –> 00:25:10,880
\nTheir enemies also oppressed
\nthem. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:25:11,280 –> 00:25:13,480
\nAnd they were brought in
\nsubjection under their hand. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:25:13,480 –> 00:25:16,600
\nFaithless.
\nLeadership brothers and sisters <\/p>\n
443
\n00:25:16,600 –> 00:25:20,280
\nand young people.
\nIn the tribes and a lack of <\/p>\n
444
\n00:25:20,280 –> 00:25:21,360
\ntrust.
\nIn. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:25:21,360 –> 00:25:26,000
\nYahweh’s protective.
\nHand cost Israel. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:25:26,880 –> 00:25:34,200
\nTheir inheritance, but the.
\nQuestion we have to ask is why? <\/p>\n
447
\n00:25:34,800 –> 00:25:38,520
\nWhy?
\nDid their faith fail? <\/p>\n
448
\n00:25:39,160 –> 00:25:45,320
\nWhat caused the tribes faith in
\nGod to waver so much? <\/p>\n
449
\n00:25:47,560 –> 00:25:52,000
\nWell, Judges 2 tells us exactly.
\nWhat happened? <\/p>\n
450
\n00:25:52,840 –> 00:25:54,800
\nCome with me to Judges chapter 2
\nand verse 6. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:25:55,760 –> 00:25:58,320
\nHere’s the summary.
\nOf why? <\/p>\n
452
\n00:25:58,440 –> 00:26:04,200
\nTheir faith failed, so Joshua 2,
\nverse 6. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:26:04,200 –> 00:26:07,320
\nSees.
\nAnd when Joshua had let the <\/p>\n
454
\n00:26:07,320 –> 00:26:11,000
\npeople go.
\nThe children Israel went every <\/p>\n
455
\n00:26:11,000 –> 00:26:13,760
\nman.
\nUnto his inheritance, to possess<\/p>\n
456
\n00:26:13,760 –> 00:26:19,840
\nthe land and the people served
\nYahweh all the days of Joshua, <\/p>\n
457
\n00:26:20,320 –> 00:26:22,800
\nand all the days of the
\nleadership, the elders that <\/p>\n
458
\n00:26:22,800 –> 00:26:26,760
\noutlived Joshua, who had seen
\nall the great. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:26:26,760 –> 00:26:29,360
\nWorks of Yahweh that he did for
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:26:31,680 –> 00:26:33,840
\nSo they served them while they
\nwere there. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:26:35,080 –> 00:26:37,880
\nBut then Joshua the son of Nun
\nand the servant of Yahweh, died,<\/p>\n
462
\n00:26:37,880 –> 00:26:41,240
\nbeing 110 years old, and they
\nburied him in the board of his <\/p>\n
463
\n00:26:41,240 –> 00:26:43,840
\ninheritance, and Timothy Eries
\nin the mount of Ephraim on the <\/p>\n
464
\n00:26:43,840 –> 00:26:47,960
\nnorth side of the hill.
\nGage and also verse then says <\/p>\n
465
\n00:26:48,200 –> 00:26:52,160
\nthat generation were gathered
\nunto their fathers. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:26:52,720 –> 00:26:55,280
\nSo everyone that surrounded
\nJoshua that had seen them, and <\/p>\n
467
\n00:26:55,280 –> 00:26:57,440
\nall the elders and the leaders
\nthat were there at that time <\/p>\n
468
\n00:26:57,560 –> 00:27:01,400
\nthat had seen the great works
\nthat Yahweh did passed off. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:27:03,120 –> 00:27:09,640
\nAnd now, says verse 10, there
\narose another generation after <\/p>\n
470
\n00:27:09,640 –> 00:27:12,600
\nthem which knew not.
\nYahweh. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:27:12,960 –> 00:27:15,880
\nNor yet the.
\nWorks that he had done for <\/p>\n
472
\n00:27:15,880 –> 00:27:19,800
\nIsrael.
\nThe children of Israel did. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:27:19,800 –> 00:27:21,520
\nEvil in the sight of Yahweh.
\nThey served Balaam. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:27:21,520 –> 00:27:24,000
\nThey forsook.
\nYahweh Elohim of. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:27:24,000 –> 00:27:27,960
\nHis the expression.
\nTheir fathers which? <\/p>\n
476
\n00:27:27,960 –> 00:27:29,880
\nBrought them up out of the land
\nof Egypt and followed. <\/p>\n
477
\n00:27:30,080 –> 00:27:31,760
\nThe other gods, the gods of the
\npeople. <\/p>\n
478
\n00:27:31,760 –> 00:27:33,800
\nThat were round about.
\nThem and bowed themselves unto <\/p>\n
479
\n00:27:33,800 –> 00:27:35,640
\nthem, provoke Yahweh to anger,
\nand they forsook. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:27:35,760 –> 00:27:40,680
\nYahweh and served Balon.
\nAstrov and the anger of Yahweh. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:27:40,680 –> 00:27:43,200
\nWas hot against Israel, he.
\nDelivered them into the hand of <\/p>\n
482
\n00:27:43,200 –> 00:27:47,000
\nthe spoilers that spoiled them,
\nand he sold them into the hands <\/p>\n
483
\n00:27:47,000 –> 00:27:49,480
\nof the enemies.
\nRound about them. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:27:50,080 –> 00:27:54,640
\nSo that they could no longer, so
\nthey could not any longer stand <\/p>\n
485
\n00:27:55,160 –> 00:27:59,000
\nbefore their enemies, other
\nsisters and young people. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:27:59,000 –> 00:28:06,200
\nWhat was the problem?
\nWhat caused their faith to fail?<\/p>\n
487
\n00:28:07,200 –> 00:28:09,360
\nThe answer is the record in
\nJudges Chapter 2. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:28:09,360 –> 00:28:14,360
\nWas that the parents failed to
\ntransfer. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:28:15,080 –> 00:28:20,920
\nAnd to inspire the next
\ngeneration and failed to pass on<\/p>\n
490
\n00:28:20,920 –> 00:28:25,040
\nthe mantle of leadership and
\nresponsibility to their children<\/p>\n
491
\n00:28:25,640 –> 00:28:27,600
\nwho haven’t witnessed the.
\nPower of God and. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:28:27,600 –> 00:28:30,840
\nConquering the land they failed
\nto demonstrate in their next <\/p>\n
493
\n00:28:30,840 –> 00:28:34,040
\ngeneration.
\nThe same fervency and zeal that <\/p>\n
494
\n00:28:34,040 –> 00:28:38,360
\nthey themselves had.
\nAnd So what happened, brothers <\/p>\n
495
\n00:28:38,360 –> 00:28:42,920
\nand sisters, was that they
\nforsook Yahweh Elohim of their. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:28:42,920 –> 00:28:46,000
\nFathers.
\nAnd serve Bail and Astroph. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:28:46,720 –> 00:28:50,000
\nYou see the problem is.
\nThat the parents failed to <\/p>\n
498
\n00:28:50,000 –> 00:28:53,920
\ntransfer the truth.
\nBut just as. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:28:54,040 –> 00:28:59,600
\nDevastating the children.
\nDidn’t stand up and grab it with<\/p>\n
500
\n00:28:59,600 –> 00:29:02,680
\nboth hands.
\nTo personalize the truth for <\/p>\n
501
\n00:29:02,680 –> 00:29:06,880
\nthemselves.
\nOh, brothers and sisters and <\/p>\n
502
\n00:29:06,880 –> 00:29:11,400
\nyoung people, here is an
\nenormous lesson for all of us. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:29:12,040 –> 00:29:18,160
\nWhen it comes to leadership and
\nthe truth, see, there’s a lesson<\/p>\n
504
\n00:29:18,160 –> 00:29:22,480
\n1st and.
\nForemost to parents, to leaders,<\/p>\n
505
\n00:29:22,600 –> 00:29:25,960
\nto elders.
\nThose that have position of <\/p>\n
506
\n00:29:25,960 –> 00:29:30,640
\nresponsibility, you see many,
\nmany of those have grown up. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:29:31,040 –> 00:29:33,040
\nThey’ve been in the truth for
\nquite some time. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:29:34,480 –> 00:29:38,120
\nThey’ve experienced life,
\nthey’ve experienced the trials. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:29:38,800 –> 00:29:43,800
\nYou’ve seen the hand of God
\nworking in your life, mother, <\/p>\n
510
\n00:29:43,800 –> 00:29:48,280
\nsisters.
\nIt’s imperative now that we <\/p>\n
511
\n00:29:48,280 –> 00:29:53,600
\ninvest in the future with the
\nnext generation because they <\/p>\n
512
\n00:29:53,600 –> 00:29:55,840
\nhave to play a leadership role.
\nWhen we’re gone. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:29:58,040 –> 00:30:02,040
\nWe must play a leadership role
\nin ensuring our lifelong passion<\/p>\n
514
\n00:30:02,320 –> 00:30:07,280
\nand zeal in the truth that we’re
\nbuilt up over so much time. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:30:08,520 –> 00:30:11,720
\nThat we’ve appreciated.
\nGod’s hand working with us and <\/p>\n
516
\n00:30:11,800 –> 00:30:16,480
\nour challenges and our trials.
\nWe’ve got to hand that in all <\/p>\n
517
\n00:30:16,880 –> 00:30:19,320
\nresponsibility.
\nTo the next. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:30:19,320 –> 00:30:23,680
\nGeneration, we’ve got to allow
\nthem room to grow. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:30:24,440 –> 00:30:27,880
\nTo develop in the truth,
\nrealizing that they are just <\/p>\n
520
\n00:30:27,880 –> 00:30:31,200
\nstarting out on the same journey
\nthat we’ve already embarked on <\/p>\n
521
\n00:30:31,200 –> 00:30:35,400
\nmany years before.
\nAnd we’ve got to let them grow, <\/p>\n
522
\n00:30:35,800 –> 00:30:38,200
\nmake mistakes.
\nAnd develop. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:30:40,760 –> 00:30:42,200
\nIt’s a process, brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:30:42,200 –> 00:30:49,240
\nIt’s a journey that takes time
\nand patience and diligence and. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:30:49,240 –> 00:30:52,160
\nTrust.
\nThat as much as God has worked <\/p>\n
526
\n00:30:52,160 –> 00:30:55,280
\nin our lives.
\nHe’s going to work in these. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:30:59,680 –> 00:31:01,520
\nAnd we’ve got to.
\nCherish that next generation. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:31:01,520 –> 00:31:03,360
\nWe’ve got to encourage that next
\ngeneration. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:31:04,040 –> 00:31:09,280
\nTo grow the same zeal, the same
\npassion, and the same energy in <\/p>\n
530
\n00:31:09,280 –> 00:31:14,400
\nservice, in the truth, if
\nthey’re ever, ever going to have<\/p>\n
531
\n00:31:14,400 –> 00:31:16,920
\nthe ability to hold on to that
\nand pass. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:31:16,920 –> 00:31:22,200
\nThat to the next generation and
\nI think sometimes it’s very. <\/p>\n
533
\n00:31:22,200 –> 00:31:30,400
\nEasy to be upset, build
\nresentment, be impatient, become<\/p>\n
534
\n00:31:30,400 –> 00:31:34,200
\nbitter that people who haven’t
\ngot the same tenacity or the <\/p>\n
535
\n00:31:34,200 –> 00:31:36,800
\nsame.
\nFervor that we had at their age.<\/p>\n
536
\n00:31:38,320 –> 00:31:40,640
\nWe’ve got to grow there.
\nIt’s our responsibility. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:31:42,440 –> 00:31:44,680
\nWe’ve got to guide it gently,
\nwe’ve got to encourage it <\/p>\n
538
\n00:31:44,680 –> 00:31:51,640
\nfervently and above all else.
\nMake room for them to grow, to <\/p>\n
539
\n00:31:51,640 –> 00:31:55,240
\ngrow into the role.
\nOf leadership so that they too <\/p>\n
540
\n00:31:55,240 –> 00:31:59,000
\ncan personalize the truth in the
\nsame way as we did. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:32:01,800 –> 00:32:03,360
\nYou see, brothers and sisters,
\nthis role. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:32:04,400 –> 00:32:07,360
\nIs an optional.
\nIt’s imperative. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:32:08,320 –> 00:32:12,680
\nIt’s our responsibility, it’s
\nour duty in the truth to ensure <\/p>\n
544
\n00:32:12,680 –> 00:32:17,240
\nthe truth remains alive and to.
\nTrust that God will protect it. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:32:17,440 –> 00:32:19,480
\nAnd then?
\nTo grow. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:32:20,600 –> 00:32:23,680
\nAnd to develop it’s our
\nresponsibility to pass the <\/p>\n
547
\n00:32:23,680 –> 00:32:24,720
\nmental of.
\nThat. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:32:24,720 –> 00:32:29,440
\nResponsibility to the next
\ngeneration and the truth depends<\/p>\n
549
\n00:32:29,440 –> 00:32:35,360
\non brothers and sisters ’cause
\nif we don’t do it, it’s pretty <\/p>\n
550
\n00:32:35,360 –> 00:32:41,120
\nobvious what happens.
\nSo enough about the <\/p>\n
551
\n00:32:41,120 –> 00:32:43,720
\nresponsibility of parents and
\nelders amongst ecclesia. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:32:43,720 –> 00:32:46,600
\nWhat’s the responsibility for
\nyoung people and for those that <\/p>\n
553
\n00:32:46,600 –> 00:32:50,960
\nare growing up on the truth?
\nWell, so I’ll put myself in this<\/p>\n
554
\n00:32:50,960 –> 00:32:53,520
\nbracket as well.
\nYou know, it’s our <\/p>\n
555
\n00:32:53,520 –> 00:32:57,800
\nresponsibility as as younger
\npeople in the ecclesia, as we <\/p>\n
556
\n00:32:57,800 –> 00:33:01,520
\ntry to grow, to look to the
\nwisdom. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:33:02,400 –> 00:33:04,040
\nAnd the experience?
\nOf those that have gone. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:33:04,040 –> 00:33:06,800
\nBefore us.
\nTo understand what they’ve <\/p>\n
559
\n00:33:06,800 –> 00:33:08,720
\nachieved and why they’ve
\nachieved them and how. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:33:08,720 –> 00:33:11,920
\nGod’s worked in their life to
\nrealise that they’ve worn. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:33:12,120 –> 00:33:16,480
\nThe heat and burden of the day.
\nAnd have learnt so many life <\/p>\n
562
\n00:33:16,480 –> 00:33:17,920
\nlessons that God has taught
\nthem. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:33:19,280 –> 00:33:22,440
\nThat we might learn from them.
\nMany have walked. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:33:22,440 –> 00:33:25,960
\nMost of their life in the truth,
\nand they bear the scars and the <\/p>\n
565
\n00:33:25,960 –> 00:33:31,280
\nexperience of trials.
\nBoth won and lost, but those <\/p>\n
566
\n00:33:31,280 –> 00:33:33,600
\nthat have worked with others.
\nThrough the issues. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:33:33,600 –> 00:33:36,960
\nOf life have built up a deep
\nappreciation of the love and. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:33:36,960 –> 00:33:40,320
\nPower.
\nAnd patience and Providence of <\/p>\n
569
\n00:33:40,320 –> 00:33:43,720
\nGod.
\nIn their own lives, it’s our <\/p>\n
570
\n00:33:43,720 –> 00:33:47,120
\nresponsibility and our duty as.
\nThose growing up. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:33:47,200 –> 00:33:50,120
\nIn the truth to respect,
\ntherefore, the thoughts and <\/p>\n
572
\n00:33:50,120 –> 00:33:51,720
\nexperiences of those that have
\ngone. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:33:51,720 –> 00:33:57,040
\nBefore, but more importantly, or
\njust as important? <\/p>\n
574
\n00:33:57,440 –> 00:34:00,640
\nIt is our.
\nResponsibility to step up, to <\/p>\n
575
\n00:34:00,640 –> 00:34:03,200
\nnot shirk that responsibility.
\nTo take on. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:34:03,320 –> 00:34:05,400
\nThe role and.
\nResponsibility of trying to help<\/p>\n
577
\n00:34:05,400 –> 00:34:07,560
\nand to grow and to serve
\nbecause. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:34:07,560 –> 00:34:10,920
\nThey won’t be there forever.
\nOh, they brothers. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:34:10,920 –> 00:34:13,440
\nSisters.
\nAs we know. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:34:15,159 –> 00:34:20,360
\nAnd it won’t be long and.
\nIt’ll be our turn to transfer <\/p>\n
581
\n00:34:20,360 –> 00:34:22,880
\nthat truth to our children.
\nAs we grow. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:34:23,440 –> 00:34:26,960
\nSo that they carry on the truth
\nif Christ remains away. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:34:27,560 –> 00:34:31,440
\nTherefore, as young people, it
\nis our responsibility to <\/p>\n
584
\n00:34:31,440 –> 00:34:33,080
\npersonalize the.
\nTruth early. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:34:33,480 –> 00:34:38,600
\nBut in in doing so, listen and
\nto seek advice from those who <\/p>\n
586
\n00:34:38,600 –> 00:34:40,120
\nhave witnessed the.
\nPower. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:34:40,400 –> 00:34:44,480
\nAnd the mercy of God in their
\nown lives and to take on the <\/p>\n
588
\n00:34:44,480 –> 00:34:47,840
\nmantle of responsibility and to
\nstep up and serve wherever we <\/p>\n
589
\n00:34:47,840 –> 00:34:50,440
\ncan.
\nAnd thus brothers and sisters <\/p>\n
590
\n00:34:50,440 –> 00:34:52,159
\nby.
\nLeaning in. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:34:52,159 –> 00:34:57,520
\nTogether and by God’s grace, the
\ntruth will. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:34:57,520 –> 00:34:59,920
\nPass from generation to
\ngeneration. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:35:00,840 –> 00:35:03,760
\nBecause God will bring about His
\npurpose. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:35:06,680 –> 00:35:08,600
\nSo there’s great lessons, isn’t
\nit, brothers, sisters, if we’re <\/p>\n
595
\n00:35:08,600 –> 00:35:13,320
\ngoing to maintain our faith
\ntogether, we have to learn to <\/p>\n
596
\n00:35:13,320 –> 00:35:17,560
\nwork together.
\nBut unfortunately, brothers, <\/p>\n
597
\n00:35:17,560 –> 00:35:20,640
\nsisters, this didn’t happen in
\nthis generation. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:35:21,600 –> 00:35:23,680
\nWe don’t have time to look at it
\ntonight, but if you go to the <\/p>\n
599
\n00:35:23,680 –> 00:35:26,640
\nappendices of the judges, what
\nwe see in the appendices is <\/p>\n
600
\n00:35:26,640 –> 00:35:29,680
\nexactly the problem of what
\nhappens if it’s not passed. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:35:29,680 –> 00:35:32,160
\nProperly from generation to
\ngeneration. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:35:32,640 –> 00:35:35,560
\nDon’t have time to look at it,
\nbut you know, chapters 17 to 18 <\/p>\n
603
\n00:35:35,560 –> 00:35:37,520
\nof the appendices of the judges
\nthat fits in. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:35:37,520 –> 00:35:39,520
\nRight.
\nAt the section in Judges Chapter<\/p>\n
605
\n00:35:39,520 –> 00:35:44,840
\n2 demonstrates 4 Haas firstly,
\nthe idolatry that occurred in <\/p>\n
606
\n00:35:44,840 –> 00:35:48,480
\nthe tribe of Dan when one man
\nstole from his mother and mummy <\/p>\n
607
\n00:35:48,480 –> 00:35:49,800
\nmummy says.
\nOh, you’re a good boy for <\/p>\n
608
\n00:35:49,800 –> 00:35:51,400
\nreturning.
\nPart of it and then builds an <\/p>\n
609
\n00:35:51,400 –> 00:35:52,200
\nidol out of it.
\nSo. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:35:52,520 –> 00:35:54,800
\nIt’s disgraceful.
\nAnd then and the idolatry in the<\/p>\n
611
\n00:35:54,800 –> 00:35:59,720
\ntribe of Dan was created from
\nthe grandson of Moses. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:36:00,680 –> 00:36:02,440
\nAnd you know what that ended up
\ndoing by the? <\/p>\n
613
\n00:36:02,440 –> 00:36:05,480
\nSisters was corrupting.
\nAll the doctrine of the troops <\/p>\n
614
\n00:36:07,160 –> 00:36:11,040
\nand then in chapter. 19 to 21,
\nwe see the story of of the of <\/p>\n
615
\n00:36:11,040 –> 00:36:15,080
\nthe the Levite, who has a
\nconcubine who’s abused by the <\/p>\n
616
\n00:36:15,120 –> 00:36:18,600
\nmen of the men of Benjamin and
\ncut up in pieces and sent around<\/p>\n
617
\n00:36:18,840 –> 00:36:21,920
\nthe the tribe of the entire 12
\ntribes and the and the. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:36:21,920 –> 00:36:25,600
\nStory of this in chapters 19 to
\n21 is the immorality in the <\/p>\n
619
\n00:36:25,600 –> 00:36:28,360
\ntribe of Benjamin was caused
\nbecause of the grandson of Aaron<\/p>\n
620
\n00:36:28,360 –> 00:36:31,760
\nand.
\nThis demonstrates a problem with<\/p>\n
621
\n00:36:31,760 –> 00:36:37,560
\nthe corruption of practice.
\nIn these two stories encapsulate<\/p>\n
622
\n00:36:37,560 –> 00:36:40,920
\nthe challenge of the time of
\nfailed. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:36:40,920 –> 00:36:44,680
\nLeadership and transferring the
\ntruth from generation to <\/p>\n
624
\n00:36:44,680 –> 00:36:46,840
\ngeneration, and how quickly.
\nThat can happen. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:36:50,520 –> 00:36:54,120
\nThe appendices we know begin and
\nend with a catch phrase that <\/p>\n
626
\n00:36:54,120 –> 00:36:58,200
\nsummarize the time of the nation
\nof Israel. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:36:59,640 –> 00:37:03,440
\nJudges 17 verse 6 and Judges 21
\nverse 25. <\/p>\n
628
\n00:37:03,440 –> 00:37:07,240
\nThe encapsulation of that.
\nThose appendices says that in <\/p>\n
629
\n00:37:07,240 –> 00:37:10,720
\nthose days there was no king in.
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:37:10,720 –> 00:37:12,040
\nBut every man did that which
\nwas. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:37:12,040 –> 00:37:15,080
\nRight in his own eyes.
\nDo you know? <\/p>\n
632
\n00:37:15,080 –> 00:37:18,400
\nSometimes we can mistake the
\nthinking of this expression <\/p>\n
633
\n00:37:18,400 –> 00:37:20,800
\nmeaning that they just did
\nwhatever they wanted. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:37:21,400 –> 00:37:23,360
\nBut I don’t.
\nThink that that’s quite true. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:37:24,840 –> 00:37:26,880
\nI think it’s slightly worse.
\nThan that. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:37:28,120 –> 00:37:30,920
\nYou see, I don’t think
\nnecessarily it means that they <\/p>\n
637
\n00:37:30,920 –> 00:37:33,560
\ndid whatever they.
\nWanted do you know what the word<\/p>\n
638
\n00:37:33,560 –> 00:37:35,240
\nfrom right?
\nWhen it says every man did that <\/p>\n
639
\n00:37:35,240 –> 00:37:38,200
\nwhich was right in his own eyes
\nis the word used in Jeremy <\/p>\n
640
\n00:37:38,200 –> 00:37:42,280
\nchapter 12 and verse 8.
\nYou see Jeremy 12 and verse 8 <\/p>\n
641
\n00:37:42,280 –> 00:37:44,880
\nsays don’t bother turning it up,
\nI’ll do it for you. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:37:45,840 –> 00:37:51,000
\nJeremy 12 verse 8 says listen.
\nMoses says, listen, I don’t want<\/p>\n
643
\n00:37:51,000 –> 00:37:54,960
\nyou to do after the things which
\nhe do here this day, every man. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:37:54,960 –> 00:37:57,360
\nDoing what was.
\nRight in his own eyes. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:37:57,720 –> 00:37:59,760
\nFor you’re not yet coming to the
\nrest of the land of your <\/p>\n
646
\n00:37:59,760 –> 00:38:01,320
\ninheritance.
\nBut when you go over, I want you<\/p>\n
647
\n00:38:01,320 –> 00:38:03,800
\nto do all these things in the
\nplace that God chooses. <\/p>\n
648
\n00:38:04,040 –> 00:38:06,320
\nThe word for right is the word
\nfor straight it’s the word. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:38:06,320 –> 00:38:10,480
\nFor judgement, righteousness,
\nand what they were doing was <\/p>\n
650
\n00:38:10,480 –> 00:38:15,400
\nthey were trying to work out the
\ntruth, but not using the law as <\/p>\n
651
\n00:38:15,400 –> 00:38:18,440
\ntheir guide.
\nJoshua had said that don’t you <\/p>\n
652
\n00:38:18,440 –> 00:38:20,640
\nturn from the right hand to the
\nleft. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:38:20,760 –> 00:38:23,240
\nYou make sure you do exactly
\nwhat Moses. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:38:23,240 –> 00:38:26,680
\nSaid we saw that and in Joshua
\n21 when he said. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:38:26,680 –> 00:38:28,840
\nListen, you need to keep
\nstraight and true. <\/p>\n
656
\n00:38:29,360 –> 00:38:31,640
\nDon’t do what’s?
\nRight in your own eyes. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:38:31,640 –> 00:38:33,120
\nDon’t try and work out what you
\nthink. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:38:33,120 –> 00:38:34,240
\n‘S right, and we know that when
\nwe. <\/p>\n
659
\n00:38:34,240 –> 00:38:37,840
\nLook at the story of the Levite.
\nHe says, oh, oh, I think the man<\/p>\n
660
\n00:38:37,840 –> 00:38:39,560
\nsays, oh, yes, that’s right.
\nWe need a priest. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:38:39,560 –> 00:38:41,000
\nAll right, you’re of Levite.
\nGreat. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:38:41,040 –> 00:38:42,080
\nBang.
\nHe was. <\/p>\n
663
\n00:38:42,240 –> 00:38:45,640
\nHe was trying to do the truth.
\nBut not all Levites were <\/p>\n
664
\n00:38:45,640 –> 00:38:47,200
\npriests.
\nOnly the sons of Aaron were <\/p>\n
665
\n00:38:47,200 –> 00:38:49,920
\npriests.
\nSo he was trying to do sort of <\/p>\n
666
\n00:38:49,920 –> 00:38:52,840
\nwhat he thought he was right,
\nbut not wasn’t complete <\/p>\n
667
\n00:38:52,840 –> 00:38:55,400
\nabandonment.
\nIt distorted the truth and. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:38:55,400 –> 00:38:59,640
\nCorrupted its practice.
\nYou see, they were doing what <\/p>\n
669
\n00:38:59,640 –> 00:39:01,840
\nwas right but failed to use the
\nlaw. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:39:01,840 –> 00:39:04,000
\nAs their guidance, so they
\napostasized. <\/p>\n
671
\n00:39:04,280 –> 00:39:07,120
\nFrom the truth and it’s
\ninteresting, brothers and <\/p>\n
672
\n00:39:07,120 –> 00:39:09,920
\nsisters.
\nWho were they supposed to turn <\/p>\n
673
\n00:39:09,920 –> 00:39:15,200
\nto to understand what was right?
\nWho are they to turn to? <\/p>\n
674
\n00:39:15,640 –> 00:39:18,600
\nJudges 16 says sorry,
\nDeuteronomy 16 says. <\/p>\n
675
\n00:39:18,600 –> 00:39:24,720
\nThat he would appoint for them.
\nJudges so every man shall give <\/p>\n
676
\n00:39:24,720 –> 00:39:28,240
\nas he is able judges 16 verse 18
\nsays that he. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:39:28,240 –> 00:39:30,160
\nWill put judges.
\nAnd. <\/p>\n
678
\n00:39:30,160 –> 00:39:33,080
\nOfficers they were supposed to
\nmake in all. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:39:33,080 –> 00:39:36,720
\nThy gates, which Yahweh thy God
\nhath given thee throughout thy <\/p>\n
680
\n00:39:36,720 –> 00:39:39,480
\ntribes.
\nAnd they shall judge the people <\/p>\n
681
\n00:39:39,760 –> 00:39:42,840
\nwith just judgement.
\nThey were going to help them <\/p>\n
682
\n00:39:42,840 –> 00:39:44,880
\nunderstand the law.
\nThe Levites weren’t able to be <\/p>\n
683
\n00:39:44,880 –> 00:39:48,360
\nin every city.
\nAnd so God appointed judges for <\/p>\n
684
\n00:39:48,360 –> 00:39:50,800
\nthem, or actually not God.
\nMoses says. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:39:50,880 –> 00:39:52,600
\nI want you to appoint judges in
\nevery city. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:39:53,160 –> 00:39:55,920
\nMake sure it’s done.
\nThere was no king to lead them. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:39:56,160 –> 00:39:59,480
\nThey had to appoint judges in
\nevery city throughout all thy <\/p>\n
688
\n00:39:59,480 –> 00:40:02,200
\ngates to not to give just
\njudgment. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:40:03,160 –> 00:40:06,200
\nThou shalt not rest judgement,
\nthou shall not be respected <\/p>\n
690
\n00:40:06,200 –> 00:40:09,760
\npersons, neither take a gift or
\nbe, you know, dodgy. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:40:09,920 –> 00:40:12,440
\nThou shall alter together be
\njust, thou shalt follow. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:40:12,440 –> 00:40:14,960
\nAnd that thou must live and
\ninherit the land which they God <\/p>\n
693
\n00:40:14,960 –> 00:40:18,480
\ngiveth thee.
\nThat’s Jeremy 16 verses 17 to <\/p>\n
694
\n00:40:18,560 –> 00:40:21,320
\n20.
\nAnd so, with no king to lead <\/p>\n
695
\n00:40:21,320 –> 00:40:24,520
\nthem, they were supposed to turn
\nto the judges. <\/p>\n
696
\n00:40:25,080 –> 00:40:27,720
\nBut brothers and sisters, when
\nwe get. <\/p>\n
697
\n00:40:27,720 –> 00:40:31,280
\nTo the time of Deborah and
\nBayrak, we get to the time of <\/p>\n
698
\n00:40:31,280 –> 00:40:34,440
\nEhood.
\nWhere were the judges? <\/p>\n
699
\n00:40:36,320 –> 00:40:40,120
\nThey were supposed to be in
\nevery city, but they weren’t <\/p>\n
700
\n00:40:40,120 –> 00:40:43,240
\nthere.
\nThey weren’t there. <\/p>\n
701
\n00:40:44,080 –> 00:40:47,640
\nSo with no king to lead them and
\nthe failure of the judges to <\/p>\n
702
\n00:40:47,640 –> 00:40:49,720
\nspeak.
\nThe law, Well, it was natural <\/p>\n
703
\n00:40:49,720 –> 00:40:52,680
\nthat the dilution of the truth
\nbegan until here. <\/p>\n
704
\n00:40:52,680 –> 00:40:58,320
\nThey stood once more, no leader,
\nno knowledge, no hope, doing <\/p>\n
705
\n00:40:58,320 –> 00:41:00,680
\nthat which they thought was
\nright in their ion eyes. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:41:00,680 –> 00:41:07,040
\nAnd rapidly losing everything.
\nSo in Joshua chapter 2 it says <\/p>\n
707
\n00:41:08,280 –> 00:41:10,560
\nthat God.
\nRaised them up. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:41:11,440 –> 00:41:15,280
\nJudges, verse 16, nevertheless.
\nYahweh raised. <\/p>\n
709
\n00:41:15,320 –> 00:41:19,480
\nUP judges which delivered them.
\nOut of the hand of those that <\/p>\n
710
\n00:41:19,480 –> 00:41:21,200
\nspoiled them.
\nJoshua 2, verse 16. <\/p>\n
711
\n00:41:21,880 –> 00:41:23,880
\nAnd yet they would not hearken
\nunto the judge. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:41:24,520 –> 00:41:26,800
\nBut they went to whoring after
\ntheir own gods, and bowed <\/p>\n
713
\n00:41:26,800 –> 00:41:30,360
\nthemselves unto them, and they
\nwere quickly turned out of the. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:41:30,360 –> 00:41:34,640
\nWay you see, God raised up
\njudges. <\/p>\n
715
\n00:41:34,640 –> 00:41:38,080
\nJudges were supposed to judge
\nthe people in all spiritual <\/p>\n
716
\n00:41:38,080 –> 00:41:42,240
\nmatters, and God raised up
\njudges both to respond. <\/p>\n
717
\n00:41:42,240 –> 00:41:45,240
\nTo the idolatry and to lead the
\npeople in their responsibility <\/p>\n
718
\n00:41:45,240 –> 00:41:50,120
\nto overcome their enemies.
\nAnd so the first judge that God <\/p>\n
719
\n00:41:50,120 –> 00:41:52,720
\nraises is Ehud.
\nWe have no time to look at the <\/p>\n
720
\n00:41:52,720 –> 00:41:55,080
\nstory.
\nFascinating story for the man <\/p>\n
721
\n00:41:55,080 –> 00:41:58,520
\nwho’s who was this amazing with
\nhis left hand straight with a <\/p>\n
722
\n00:41:58,520 –> 00:42:03,560
\nlagger under the fat guts of of.
\nEglon and disappears and he dies<\/p>\n
723
\n00:42:03,560 –> 00:42:06,200
\nand the nation has this
\nincredible piece. <\/p>\n
724
\n00:42:06,440 –> 00:42:08,960
\nOf of time from Ehud’s
\nleadership who? <\/p>\n
725
\n00:42:09,200 –> 00:42:11,480
\nSnuck in and and absolutely
\nwiped. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:42:11,480 –> 00:42:13,800
\nOut the problem for them and.
\nShowed them what it meant to <\/p>\n
727
\n00:42:13,800 –> 00:42:18,360
\nlead into how to overcome.
\nAnd so they had 80 years. <\/p>\n
728
\n00:42:19,080 –> 00:42:23,360
\nOf.
\nPeace under his reign and one <\/p>\n
729
\n00:42:23,360 –> 00:42:26,800
\nafter the other, God raised up
\njudge after judge after judge. <\/p>\n
730
\n00:42:28,280 –> 00:42:31,120
\nBut as with leaders, if people
\ndon’t follow. <\/p>\n
731
\n00:42:33,160 –> 00:42:35,640
\nThings fall back, and so we pick
\nup the story. <\/p>\n
732
\n00:42:35,640 –> 00:42:39,240
\nNow, brothers and.
\nSisters in Judges Chapter 4. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:42:40,120 –> 00:42:44,400
\nSo here we are without without
\nleadership amongst the nation. <\/p>\n
734
\n00:42:44,440 –> 00:42:49,280
\nA vacuum created.
\nBecause Ehud’s now dead, and <\/p>\n
735
\n00:42:49,280 –> 00:42:51,640
\nonce more without that solid
\nleadership. <\/p>\n
736
\n00:42:52,400 –> 00:42:55,800
\nA void.
\nOpens up once more and thus once<\/p>\n
737
\n00:42:55,800 –> 00:43:01,000
\nagain the children of Israel
\nfall into apostasy because he is<\/p>\n
738
\n00:43:01,000 –> 00:43:02,480
\ngone.
\nAnd we pick up the story now in <\/p>\n
739
\n00:43:02,480 –> 00:43:05,600
\nJudges chapter 4 and verse one.
\nHopefully you can see how this <\/p>\n
740
\n00:43:05,880 –> 00:43:07,560
\nall builds to the story.
\nOf how? <\/p>\n
741
\n00:43:07,560 –> 00:43:10,360
\nAmazing it.
\nIs for this particular prophet <\/p>\n
742
\n00:43:10,360 –> 00:43:13,760
\ntears to turn up amongst the
\nnation. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:43:15,880 –> 00:43:20,200
\nAnd so it says, Judges 4 and
\nverse one, that the children of <\/p>\n
744
\n00:43:20,200 –> 00:43:25,520
\nIsrael did again evil in the
\nsight of Yahweh when Ehud was <\/p>\n
745
\n00:43:25,520 –> 00:43:31,880
\ndead, and Yahweh sold them into
\nthe hand of Jabin, king of <\/p>\n
746
\n00:43:31,880 –> 00:43:34,520
\nCanaan.
\nYou see, Ehud had. <\/p>\n
747
\n00:43:34,520 –> 00:43:38,440
\nProvided a secure environment
\nthrough God’s assistance, both <\/p>\n
748
\n00:43:38,440 –> 00:43:40,160
\nmilitary and spiritual
\nleadership. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:43:40,160 –> 00:43:42,080
\nThe people.
\nOught to have leveraged this <\/p>\n
750
\n00:43:42,080 –> 00:43:45,320
\ntime 80 years he gave them to
\nconsolidate their inheritance, <\/p>\n
751
\n00:43:45,320 –> 00:43:47,760
\nbut they.
\nWell, they failed to capitalise <\/p>\n
752
\n00:43:47,760 –> 00:43:52,000
\non the opportunity and failing
\nto realise that the 80 years <\/p>\n
753
\n00:43:52,000 –> 00:43:54,080
\nthat they received was actually.
\nA gift of God. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:43:55,480 –> 00:43:57,440
\nThey apostasized and used it to
\ntheir own end. <\/p>\n
755
\n00:43:58,440 –> 00:44:02,120
\nThey missed it through
\ncomplacency and mistaken self <\/p>\n
756
\n00:44:02,120 –> 00:44:04,800
\nassurance.
\nThey thought God was. <\/p>\n
757
\n00:44:04,800 –> 00:44:08,120
\nWith them but not.
\nBecause he moved, they moved <\/p>\n
758
\n00:44:08,120 –> 00:44:11,840
\ninto apostasy and so once again
\nthey do evil in the sight of <\/p>\n
759
\n00:44:11,840 –> 00:44:15,080
\nYahweh.
\nYou know Judges chapter 5 <\/p>\n
760
\n00:44:15,080 –> 00:44:18,400
\nDeborah sings in her song.
\nThey choose new gods. <\/p>\n
761
\n00:44:18,400 –> 00:44:22,240
\nJudges 5 verse 8 they chose.
\nNew Gods and what happened? <\/p>\n
762
\n00:44:22,520 –> 00:44:25,440
\nOther sisters there was war.
\nIn. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:44:25,880 –> 00:44:29,880
\nThe Gates There was war in the.
\nGates. <\/p>\n
764
\n00:44:29,960 –> 00:44:31,680
\nWhere was the judge supposed to
\nbe? <\/p>\n
765
\n00:44:31,680 –> 00:44:34,080
\nBrothers and sisters?
\nThe judge was supposed to be <\/p>\n
766
\n00:44:34,080 –> 00:44:37,680
\nsitting in the gate providing
\njust judgement. <\/p>\n
767
\n00:44:39,160 –> 00:44:42,080
\nBut because they’d forsaken the
\njudge, because they’d forsaken <\/p>\n
768
\n00:44:42,080 –> 00:44:43,840
\nGod, because they had
\napostasize. <\/p>\n
769
\n00:44:43,840 –> 00:44:45,960
\nInstead of a judge giving
\nrighteous laws. <\/p>\n
770
\n00:44:46,880 –> 00:44:54,520
\nThey now have war and so it sees
\nGod sold them into the hand of <\/p>\n
771
\n00:44:54,520 –> 00:44:56,600
\nJabin, king of Canaan.
\nThere’s a, there’s. <\/p>\n
772
\n00:44:56,640 –> 00:45:00,400
\nIrony in that brother, sisters.
\nHuman nature doesn’t change, and<\/p>\n
773
\n00:45:00,400 –> 00:45:03,480
\nneither does God’s punishment.
\nHe traded them. <\/p>\n
774
\n00:45:04,200 –> 00:45:08,160
\nTo a group of traitors.
\nThere’s irony in that, brother, <\/p>\n
775
\n00:45:08,160 –> 00:45:09,720
\nsisters.
\nHe trades them. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:45:09,720 –> 00:45:12,280
\nHe sells them to a group of
\ntraders. <\/p>\n
777
\n00:45:13,240 –> 00:45:15,760
\nAnd the Canaanites.
\nThe Canaanites means the <\/p>\n
778
\n00:45:15,760 –> 00:45:17,920
\nlowland.
\nThey come from the root word <\/p>\n
779
\n00:45:17,920 –> 00:45:21,240
\nmeant to bend the knee.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
780
\n00:45:21,280 –> 00:45:23,640
\nAnd or to humiliate?
\nDo you know who they were? <\/p>\n
781
\n00:45:23,640 –> 00:45:26,360
\nThey were a trading.
\nNation of merchants who would. <\/p>\n
782
\n00:45:26,360 –> 00:45:32,440
\nSell their soul to get a deal.
\nAnd their leader Jabin. <\/p>\n
783
\n00:45:33,080 –> 00:45:35,880
\nHis name means whom God
\nobserves. <\/p>\n
784
\n00:45:36,160 –> 00:45:39,800
\nWhom God observes, really, Of
\ncourse, because God put him <\/p>\n
785
\n00:45:39,800 –> 00:45:42,400
\nthere.
\nHis name comes from the root <\/p>\n
786
\n00:45:42,400 –> 00:45:46,080
\nword meaning understanding or
\nintelligence. <\/p>\n
787
\n00:45:46,800 –> 00:45:50,800
\nThat’s Jabin, whom God observes
\nfrom the root word of <\/p>\n
788
\n00:45:50,920 –> 00:45:56,880
\nunderstanding and intelligence.
\nYou see, this one was the CEO of<\/p>\n
789
\n00:45:56,880 –> 00:46:01,800
\na merchant trading nation who
\nwas the entire representation of<\/p>\n
790
\n00:46:01,800 –> 00:46:05,680
\nthe wisdom.
\nOf the world in all its conceit <\/p>\n
791
\n00:46:05,680 –> 00:46:09,960
\nand all its glory.
\nHe’s the CEO, the wisdom of the <\/p>\n
792
\n00:46:09,960 –> 00:46:13,360
\nworld, intelligence and God put
\nhim in this place and you know <\/p>\n
793
\n00:46:13,360 –> 00:46:15,120
\nhe.
\nGripped that nation of Israel <\/p>\n
794
\n00:46:15,560 –> 00:46:19,400
\nand grabbed them and poured them
\nunder, sold them into his hand <\/p>\n
795
\n00:46:19,400 –> 00:46:23,760
\nand crushed them.
\nAnd he’s reigning in. <\/p>\n
796
\n00:46:23,760 –> 00:46:27,120
\nHazel just means a castle, and
\nhe’s got this. <\/p>\n
797
\n00:46:27,120 –> 00:46:30,800
\nDominant castle over the entire
\nregion with iron. <\/p>\n
798
\n00:46:30,800 –> 00:46:33,920
\nTentacles and he’s.
\nCrushing them. <\/p>\n
799
\n00:46:35,000 –> 00:46:37,920
\nAnd he rules over the.
\nVast area from the land of the <\/p>\n
800
\n00:46:37,920 –> 00:46:41,760
\nnorth of Galilee right down
\nthrough the Jezreel. <\/p>\n
801
\n00:46:41,760 –> 00:46:44,280
\nValley and.
\nHow? <\/p>\n
802
\n00:46:44,280 –> 00:46:48,040
\nDid he dominate these people?
\nWell, it says that he had <\/p>\n
803
\n00:46:48,040 –> 00:46:50,960
\nSisera.
\nAnd 900 Chariots of iron. <\/p>\n
804
\n00:46:52,600 –> 00:46:54,560
\nYou know, it’s very easy,
\nbrother and sisters, to read <\/p>\n
805
\n00:46:54,560 –> 00:46:56,760
\nthrough the story and to read
\nthat. <\/p>\n
806
\n00:46:56,760 –> 00:46:59,560
\nThere was a.
\nHand of Jabin, king of Canaan, <\/p>\n
807
\n00:46:59,960 –> 00:47:03,120
\nwho reigned in Hazel, Brothers
\nand sisters. <\/p>\n
808
\n00:47:03,760 –> 00:47:06,760
\nIf we had done our readings, we
\nwould. <\/p>\n
809
\n00:47:06,760 –> 00:47:10,320
\nKnow.
\nThat this had already. <\/p>\n
810
\n00:47:10,320 –> 00:47:15,000
\nHappened not long.
\nAgo, have a look in your margin <\/p>\n
811
\n00:47:15,880 –> 00:47:19,400
\nagainst H on my in the Y margin
\nBible, Joshua. <\/p>\n
812
\n00:47:19,400 –> 00:47:23,480
\nChapter. 11 Yahweh sells.
\nThem at the hand of Jabin, king <\/p>\n
813
\n00:47:23,480 –> 00:47:24,760
\nof Canaan.
\nHang on a minute. <\/p>\n
814
\n00:47:25,440 –> 00:47:28,800
\nJoshua, 11, had already told us
\nabout a king by the name of <\/p>\n
815
\n00:47:28,800 –> 00:47:32,480
\nJabin who had lived in a castle
\ncalled Hazel once before. <\/p>\n
816
\n00:47:33,680 –> 00:47:35,160
\nCome back for me to Joshua
\nChapter 11. <\/p>\n
817
\n00:47:36,640 –> 00:47:38,200
\nYou see this?
\nThis is a repeat. <\/p>\n
818
\n00:47:39,240 –> 00:47:42,320
\nWhy is it a repeat?
\nJoshua 11. <\/p>\n
819
\n00:47:42,320 –> 00:47:46,000
\nSays.
\nAnd verse one came to pass. <\/p>\n
820
\n00:47:46,400 –> 00:47:49,560
\nWhen?
\nJabin, king of Hazel, had heard <\/p>\n
821
\n00:47:49,560 –> 00:47:51,880
\nthese things.
\nHe sent Joba, king of Mudron and<\/p>\n
822
\n00:47:51,880 –> 00:47:55,000
\nthe king of Shimyon and the king
\nof Ashfaa to the kings. <\/p>\n
823
\n00:47:55,200 –> 00:47:57,520
\nThat were on the.
\nMountains and to go up against. <\/p>\n
824
\n00:47:57,520 –> 00:48:00,440
\nThem and they were verse 4 says
\nthat they they were all their <\/p>\n
825
\n00:48:00,440 –> 00:48:03,200
\nhosts.
\nWere were were much people even <\/p>\n
826
\n00:48:03,200 –> 00:48:06,680
\nas the sandwiches upon the sea
\nshore and multitude with horses <\/p>\n
827
\n00:48:06,880 –> 00:48:10,760
\nand Chariots.
\nMany we’ve seen this man before,<\/p>\n
828
\n00:48:10,920 –> 00:48:15,000
\nJabin, who’s reigning in Hazel
\nwith all these Chariots and <\/p>\n
829
\n00:48:15,000 –> 00:48:20,880
\nhorses and Joshua in a
\npreviously previous military <\/p>\n
830
\n00:48:20,880 –> 00:48:27,760
\ncampaign had taken Jabin the
\nfirst out in the first battles <\/p>\n
831
\n00:48:28,000 –> 00:48:33,880
\nand crusades in the land.
\nYou see, the kings of Canaan <\/p>\n
832
\n00:48:33,880 –> 00:48:36,880
\njoined forces, this sand of the
\nseashore for multitude, and they<\/p>\n
833
\n00:48:36,880 –> 00:48:39,920
\nhad horses and turrets and
\nJoshua wipes them out in. <\/p>\n
834
\n00:48:39,920 –> 00:48:43,560
\nVerse eight look what it says.
\nAnd so verse 7 So Joshua came, <\/p>\n
835
\n00:48:43,560 –> 00:48:45,480
\nand all the people of war with
\nthem against them by the. <\/p>\n
836
\n00:48:45,480 –> 00:48:47,640
\nWaters of Miriam.
\nSuddenly and they. <\/p>\n
837
\n00:48:47,640 –> 00:48:50,440
\nFell on them and Yahweh.
\nDelivered them into the hand of <\/p>\n
838
\n00:48:50,440 –> 00:48:53,400
\nIsrael, who smoked.
\nThem chased them unto great <\/p>\n
839
\n00:48:53,400 –> 00:48:55,680
\nZeidon, now brothers and.
\nSisters, we start to find out <\/p>\n
840
\n00:48:55,680 –> 00:48:57,240
\nwhy.
\nBayrak and his men. <\/p>\n
841
\n00:48:57,440 –> 00:48:58,600
\nDon’t just fight.
\nSisera. <\/p>\n
842
\n00:48:58,600 –> 00:49:01,880
\nThey chase Sisera out.
\nBecause that’s what Joshua. <\/p>\n
843
\n00:49:01,880 –> 00:49:05,840
\nHad done.
\nAnd they come in the valley of <\/p>\n
844
\n00:49:05,840 –> 00:49:08,040
\nMizpah and.
\nThey smoked them until there was<\/p>\n
845
\n00:49:08,040 –> 00:49:10,960
\nleft none.
\nRemaining, just remember that <\/p>\n
846
\n00:49:10,960 –> 00:49:12,840
\nexpression.
\nWe’re going to see that in our <\/p>\n
847
\n00:49:12,840 –> 00:49:16,080
\nsecond study.
\nAnd Joshua did unto them as <\/p>\n
848
\n00:49:16,080 –> 00:49:18,040
\nYahweh Badam, and he hoffed
\ntheir horses and burned. <\/p>\n
849
\n00:49:18,040 –> 00:49:20,600
\nTheir Chariots with fire.
\nAnd Joshua at that time turned <\/p>\n
850
\n00:49:20,600 –> 00:49:23,960
\nback and took Hazel and.
\nSmoked the king thereof with the<\/p>\n
851
\n00:49:23,960 –> 00:49:26,000
\nsword.
\nFor Hazel, before time was the <\/p>\n
852
\n00:49:26,000 –> 00:49:29,240
\nhead of all those kingdoms, and
\nthey smote all the souls that <\/p>\n
853
\n00:49:29,240 –> 00:49:31,400
\nwere in with the edge of the
\nsword, utterly destroying them. <\/p>\n
854
\n00:49:31,400 –> 00:49:34,000
\nThey’re not, was not left.
\nAnything to breathe. <\/p>\n
855
\n00:49:34,560 –> 00:49:37,000
\nAnd he burnt.
\nHazel with fire, and all the <\/p>\n
856
\n00:49:37,000 –> 00:49:39,760
\ncities of those kings and all
\nthe kings of them did Joshua <\/p>\n
857
\n00:49:39,760 –> 00:49:42,080
\ntake and smote them with the
\nedge of the sword, and he <\/p>\n
858
\n00:49:42,120 –> 00:49:46,240
\nutterly destroyed them as Moses
\nthe servant of Yahweh commanded.<\/p>\n
859
\n00:49:48,640 –> 00:49:55,000
\nSo here’s the question if Joshua
\ndone that in Joshua Chapter 11, <\/p>\n
860
\n00:49:55,480 –> 00:49:59,320
\nwhat on earth is Jabin now
\nliving again in a resurrected <\/p>\n
861
\n00:49:59,320 –> 00:50:02,040
\ncastle?
\nOnly moments later in history? <\/p>\n
862
\n00:50:04,480 –> 00:50:07,040
\nHere’s a new king calling
\nhimself Jabin, living in a <\/p>\n
863
\n00:50:07,040 –> 00:50:10,120
\nrecently refurbished city that
\nhad been once taken by the <\/p>\n
864
\n00:50:10,120 –> 00:50:12,080
\nchildren of Israel.
\nWhat had they failed to? <\/p>\n
865
\n00:50:12,080 –> 00:50:17,360
\nDo by the sisters and the answer
\nwas because of Naftalise <\/p>\n
866
\n00:50:17,360 –> 00:50:20,320
\nfaithlessness, Bayrek’s tribe by
\nthe sisters. <\/p>\n
867
\n00:50:20,920 –> 00:50:25,200
\nThey failed to capitalise on
\nthat conquest and lost it. <\/p>\n
868
\n00:50:26,680 –> 00:50:30,000
\nAnd now?
\nThey were paying. <\/p>\n
869
\n00:50:30,280 –> 00:50:33,600
\nFor it, you see, because now
\nanother. <\/p>\n
870
\n00:50:33,600 –> 00:50:36,080
\nKing.
\nHad arisen and. <\/p>\n
871
\n00:50:36,080 –> 00:50:39,720
\nTaken back the city of Hazel and
\nhad taken on the title of his <\/p>\n
872
\n00:50:39,720 –> 00:50:44,640
\npredecessor from 120 years
\nbefore that and now had expanded<\/p>\n
873
\n00:50:44,640 –> 00:50:49,320
\nhis empire even further.
\nAnd he didn’t just now. <\/p>\n
874
\n00:50:49,320 –> 00:50:50,440
\nWant.
\nThe city of. <\/p>\n
875
\n00:50:50,440 –> 00:50:51,880
\nHazel.
\nHe didn’t just take back the <\/p>\n
876
\n00:50:51,880 –> 00:50:53,440
\ncity of Hazel.
\nHe was. <\/p>\n
877
\n00:50:53,440 –> 00:50:56,560
\nNow not just the King of Hazel
\nBrazen. <\/p>\n
878
\n00:50:56,560 –> 00:51:01,600
\nSisters, we come now to Joshua
\nchapter 4, and he’s the king of <\/p>\n
879
\n00:51:01,600 –> 00:51:05,440
\nCanaan, brother.
\nSisters, he’s taken all the <\/p>\n
880
\n00:51:05,480 –> 00:51:08,720
\nterritory and boy.
\nOh boy, is he going to make. <\/p>\n
881
\n00:51:08,720 –> 00:51:13,640
\nIsrael pay for their crimes.
\nNaftullah is now going to be <\/p>\n
882
\n00:51:13,640 –> 00:51:15,520
\noppressed.
\nThey are going to be his <\/p>\n
883
\n00:51:15,520 –> 00:51:18,000
\nservants and he mightily
\noppresses. <\/p>\n
884
\n00:51:18,000 –> 00:51:21,080
\nThem says judges chapter 4 he
\nmightily. <\/p>\n
885
\n00:51:21,080 –> 00:51:24,040
\nOppresses them.
\nYou see lesson in that, brother,<\/p>\n
886
\n00:51:24,040 –> 00:51:27,640
\nsisters.
\nIf we don’t take away, if we <\/p>\n
887
\n00:51:27,640 –> 00:51:30,480
\ndon’t destroy the.
\nThings that take away from God <\/p>\n
888
\n00:51:31,240 –> 00:51:33,040
\nand that lead us out of the
\ntruth. <\/p>\n
889
\n00:51:33,280 –> 00:51:35,360
\nIf we don’t.
\nUtterly remove things like that.<\/p>\n
890
\n00:51:36,400 –> 00:51:38,600
\nThey’re going to come back and
\nbite us and not just bite us. <\/p>\n
891
\n00:51:38,600 –> 00:51:41,600
\nThey’re going to come back with
\nso much more force because <\/p>\n
892
\n00:51:41,600 –> 00:51:44,800
\nthey’re feeling oppressed.
\nThey’re going to come back with.<\/p>\n
893
\n00:51:44,800 –> 00:51:47,640
\nDouble pressure.
\nWe can’t just. <\/p>\n
894
\n00:51:47,640 –> 00:51:50,240
\nTemporarily remove from.
\nView like a Band-Aid we’ve got <\/p>\n
895
\n00:51:50,240 –> 00:51:52,560
\nto utterly cut off.
\nThings while we can. <\/p>\n
896
\n00:51:53,840 –> 00:51:57,400
\nSo that we can take our
\ninheritance. <\/p>\n
897
\n00:51:58,760 –> 00:52:02,200
\nAnd so the oppression of Jabin’s
\nmilitary campaigns were managed <\/p>\n
898
\n00:52:02,200 –> 00:52:05,800
\nnow by a man called Sisera, the
\ncaptain of his host. <\/p>\n
899
\n00:52:06,160 –> 00:52:11,200
\nHis name means.
\nArray battle array Sisera’s name<\/p>\n
900
\n00:52:11,200 –> 00:52:13,320
\nmeans a battle array and by
\nname. <\/p>\n
901
\n00:52:13,760 –> 00:52:15,800
\nSisera.
\nWas also by character. <\/p>\n
902
\n00:52:15,800 –> 00:52:21,800
\nYou see, this man was a military
\ngenius, a military strategist, a<\/p>\n
903
\n00:52:21,800 –> 00:52:26,720
\nwarrior who marshalled army all
\nover the Jezreel Valley. <\/p>\n
904
\n00:52:27,760 –> 00:52:31,760
\nHe led and he marshalled the
\nentire army from a city called. <\/p>\n
905
\n00:52:31,840 –> 00:52:35,120
\nHarisheth of the Gentiles, and
\nthat’s remarkable. <\/p>\n
906
\n00:52:35,120 –> 00:52:38,040
\nAbout the city, the Hebrew word
\nfor. <\/p>\n
907
\n00:52:38,280 –> 00:52:41,000
\nHarisheth.
\nMeans a city of mechanical <\/p>\n
908
\n00:52:41,000 –> 00:52:42,640
\nworkers just.
\nTuck that. <\/p>\n
909
\n00:52:42,640 –> 00:52:44,320
\nAway in your brain.
\nWe’re going to come across that <\/p>\n
910
\n00:52:44,320 –> 00:52:46,600
\nin our third study tomorrow.
\nA. <\/p>\n
911
\n00:52:46,600 –> 00:52:49,560
\nCity of mechanical workers means
\na root word for. <\/p>\n
912
\n00:52:49,560 –> 00:52:52,440
\nCarving and cutting.
\nIt was a city of artifices and <\/p>\n
913
\n00:52:52,440 –> 00:52:55,120
\nworkmen, beaters of metal.
\nThese were the city of the <\/p>\n
914
\n00:52:55,120 –> 00:52:57,040
\ngrease monkeys.
\nAnd the panel beaters, right <\/p>\n
915
\n00:52:57,720 –> 00:53:00,720
\nthere were apprentices.
\nThey had them up all over the <\/p>\n
916
\n00:53:00,720 –> 00:53:03,960
\nplace, trying to have taken them
\nfrom all around the surrounding <\/p>\n
917
\n00:53:03,960 –> 00:53:05,520
\ntribes.
\nIt’s Harris Sheath of the <\/p>\n
918
\n00:53:05,520 –> 00:53:08,400
\nGentiles.
\nThey had gone and handpicked the<\/p>\n
919
\n00:53:08,400 –> 00:53:14,920
\nbest people for this job.
\nAnd under that oppression? <\/p>\n
920
\n00:53:16,120 –> 00:53:18,320
\nIt sees verse 3, the children of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
921
\n00:53:18,320 –> 00:53:23,720
\nCried unto Yahweh, for he had
\n900 Chariots of iron and 20. <\/p>\n
922
\n00:53:23,720 –> 00:53:26,040
\nYears.
\nHe mightily oppressed. <\/p>\n
923
\n00:53:26,400 –> 00:53:29,160
\nThe children of Israel. 900
\nChariots. <\/p>\n
924
\n00:53:29,160 –> 00:53:32,040
\nOf iron, you see, these little
\nmetal objects by the sisters <\/p>\n
925
\n00:53:32,040 –> 00:53:35,520
\nstood as a testimony of witness
\nfor their faithlessness. <\/p>\n
926
\n00:53:36,800 –> 00:53:40,040
\nTheir nightmare had returned,
\ntheir faithlessness of their <\/p>\n
927
\n00:53:40,040 –> 00:53:43,920
\ngrandparents failure and their
\nparents now comes back in <\/p>\n
928
\n00:53:43,920 –> 00:53:44,960
\nvengeance.
\nTo haunt them. <\/p>\n
929
\n00:53:44,960 –> 00:53:49,160
\nAnd for 20 years, it says he
\nmightily oppressed. <\/p>\n
930
\n00:53:49,160 –> 00:53:51,400
\nThem.
\nYou know the word mightily. <\/p>\n
931
\n00:53:51,400 –> 00:53:54,040
\nHe’s only used two other times
\nin the Old Testament, and it’s a<\/p>\n
932
\n00:53:54,040 –> 00:53:57,520
\nword that is used of entire
\ndominant strength. <\/p>\n
933
\n00:53:57,520 –> 00:54:00,000
\nAnd force.
\nAnd the word oppression. <\/p>\n
934
\n00:54:00,000 –> 00:54:01,200
\nIs used only.
\nReally. <\/p>\n
935
\n00:54:01,200 –> 00:54:04,080
\nTo describe Israel’s oppression
\nfrom the Egyptian bondage and <\/p>\n
936
\n00:54:04,080 –> 00:54:07,480
\nslavery.
\nMightily upon it was the worst <\/p>\n
937
\n00:54:07,480 –> 00:54:09,960
\noppression Israel had ever
\nfaced. <\/p>\n
938
\n00:54:10,120 –> 00:54:11,960
\nIt was worse than worse than
\nEgypt. <\/p>\n
939
\n00:54:12,120 –> 00:54:15,920
\nIt was worse than Eglon.
\nAnd it lasted for 20 years. <\/p>\n
940
\n00:54:16,360 –> 00:54:18,480
\nBrothers and sisters.
\nThat’s what happens when we <\/p>\n
941
\n00:54:18,480 –> 00:54:21,360
\ndon’t utterly remove things that
\ncause us problems. <\/p>\n
942
\n00:54:21,760 –> 00:54:23,480
\nHow bad was it, brothers and
\nsisters? <\/p>\n
943
\n00:54:23,640 –> 00:54:25,280
\nHow bad was that?
\nOppression. <\/p>\n
944
\n00:54:25,280 –> 00:54:28,160
\nWell, it says.
\nJudges chapter 5 and verse six. <\/p>\n
945
\n00:54:28,800 –> 00:54:33,400
\nIt was so bad in the days of
\nShamgar, in the days of NF, in <\/p>\n
946
\n00:54:33,400 –> 00:54:37,800
\nthe days of jail, the highways
\nwere unoccupied and the <\/p>\n
947
\n00:54:37,800 –> 00:54:40,120
\ntravellers walked through
\nbyways. <\/p>\n
948
\n00:54:40,120 –> 00:54:41,560
\nThat’s.
\nHow bad that oppression? <\/p>\n
949
\n00:54:41,560 –> 00:54:47,600
\nWas judges 5 versus 6.
\nIt was so bad that they were <\/p>\n
950
\n00:54:47,600 –> 00:54:52,080
\nscared to travel between cities
\nand if they had to. <\/p>\n
951
\n00:54:52,680 –> 00:54:56,560
\nThey’d use the goat tracks from
\nthe Backcountry just in case it.<\/p>\n
952
\n00:54:59,440 –> 00:55:05,040
\nWas worse than COVID.
\nIt was tough and you know what <\/p>\n
953
\n00:55:05,680 –> 00:55:09,120
\nit sees when it sees that the
\nthat the highways were. <\/p>\n
954
\n00:55:09,120 –> 00:55:14,120
\nUnoccupied and the travellers
\nwalked through the byways, and <\/p>\n
955
\n00:55:14,120 –> 00:55:16,600
\nthe inhabitants of the villagers
\nceased. <\/p>\n
956
\n00:55:16,720 –> 00:55:21,440
\nThey ceased in Israel.
\nMeans to come to an end the main<\/p>\n
957
\n00:55:21,440 –> 00:55:24,240
\narteries for food.
\nWere closed. <\/p>\n
958
\n00:55:25,360 –> 00:55:30,080
\nThe main way of getting things
\naround the country was gone. <\/p>\n
959
\n00:55:31,880 –> 00:55:34,760
\nAnyone wanting getting around to
\ntravel had to travel through the<\/p>\n
960
\n00:55:34,760 –> 00:55:36,520
\ngnarly goat tracks of the bank
\ncountry. <\/p>\n
961
\n00:55:36,520 –> 00:55:40,720
\nNo one moved around first with
\nscarce trade was not existent. <\/p>\n
962
\n00:55:40,880 –> 00:55:45,600
\nThe noose of Sisera and Jabin
\ngrew tighter and tighter as the <\/p>\n
963
\n00:55:45,600 –> 00:55:49,960
\nmighty oppression of sank Israel
\ninto complete and utter. <\/p>\n
964
\n00:55:50,320 –> 00:55:55,480
\nDepression.
\nAnd it’s into the scene of. <\/p>\n
965
\n00:55:55,520 –> 00:56:00,200
\nUtter misery and oppression and
\ndepression were introduced to <\/p>\n
966
\n00:56:00,240 –> 00:56:04,680
\none.
\nThat gave comfort, Deborah, it <\/p>\n
967
\n00:56:04,680 –> 00:56:09,800
\nsees.
\nWas a prophetess the wife of <\/p>\n
968
\n00:56:09,800 –> 00:56:12,400
\nLapidoth?
\nShe judged Israel at that time. <\/p>\n
969
\n00:56:12,680 –> 00:56:15,200
\nAnd she dwelt.
\nUnder the palm tree of Deborah, <\/p>\n
970
\n00:56:15,520 –> 00:56:19,360
\nbetween Raymar and Bethel in
\nMount Ephraim. <\/p>\n
971
\n00:56:20,240 –> 00:56:24,320
\nDeborah.
\nHer name means a bee, and really<\/p>\n
972
\n00:56:24,320 –> 00:56:27,600
\nit’s a reference to its
\nsystematic incense instincts and<\/p>\n
973
\n00:56:27,600 –> 00:56:28,680
\nprocesses.
\nI’ve had a bit to do. <\/p>\n
974
\n00:56:28,680 –> 00:56:31,680
\nWith bees in my time, happy to
\ntalk about them and remarkable. <\/p>\n
975
\n00:56:32,360 –> 00:56:33,840
\nThe thing about a bee is.
\nThey are. <\/p>\n
976
\n00:56:33,840 –> 00:56:36,800
\nReally.
\nOrganized so the idea. <\/p>\n
977
\n00:56:37,200 –> 00:56:39,800
\nOf to be.
\nSystematic and its instinct and <\/p>\n
978
\n00:56:39,800 –> 00:56:43,640
\nits processes means that she was
\nability to arrange things. <\/p>\n
979
\n00:56:43,640 –> 00:56:47,000
\nThat’s what the root word means
\nto arrange, and it refers to in <\/p>\n
980
\n00:56:47,000 –> 00:56:50,280
\nthis termic her voice.
\nShe was, obviously. <\/p>\n
981
\n00:56:50,280 –> 00:56:52,880
\nCapable of putting things
\ntogether in a way that made <\/p>\n
982
\n00:56:52,880 –> 00:56:55,800
\nsense.
\nShe could arrange. <\/p>\n
983
\n00:56:55,800 –> 00:56:58,840
\nWords of counsel Deborah was a
\nbee. <\/p>\n
984
\n00:56:59,320 –> 00:57:01,920
\nAnd one could refer to all her
\ndiligence as a worker as she <\/p>\n
985
\n00:57:01,920 –> 00:57:03,600
\nwas.
\nBut the record? <\/p>\n
986
\n00:57:03,600 –> 00:57:07,080
\nWants us to realize that
\nalthough she was diligent, it <\/p>\n
987
\n00:57:07,080 –> 00:57:11,600
\nwas the order and arrangement of
\nher counsel and advice that she <\/p>\n
988
\n00:57:11,600 –> 00:57:14,920
\nwas recognized, for she was a
\nprophetess. <\/p>\n
989
\n00:57:16,160 –> 00:57:18,000
\nJust remarkable when you look,
\nwe don’t have any time to look <\/p>\n
990
\n00:57:18,000 –> 00:57:19,120
\nat it.
\nPsalm 19. <\/p>\n
991
\n00:57:19,360 –> 00:57:24,160
\nPsalm 119.
\nThe sweet Council of Wisdom is <\/p>\n
992
\n00:57:24,160 –> 00:57:26,640
\ngoing to reward like honey.
\nYou ever look at those <\/p>\n
993
\n00:57:26,640 –> 00:57:28,240
\nexpression?
\nHoney is sweetness. <\/p>\n
994
\n00:57:28,560 –> 00:57:32,520
\nPsalm 19 verse 9 and 10, and
\nPsalm 119 verse 103 and this <\/p>\n
995
\n00:57:32,520 –> 00:57:34,880
\nwoman.
\nWas able to provide food that <\/p>\n
996
\n00:57:34,880 –> 00:57:38,760
\nwas so delicious.
\nThat the nation came day after <\/p>\n
997
\n00:57:38,760 –> 00:57:40,880
\nday.
\nBecause in a spiritual <\/p>\n
998
\n00:57:40,880 –> 00:57:43,680
\nwasteland.
\nAnd in a vacuum of leadership. <\/p>\n
999
\n00:57:44,920 –> 00:57:48,920
\nIn the time of the judges, her
\nrefreshing counsel of her <\/p>\n
1000
\n00:57:48,920 –> 00:57:54,680
\njudgement would have come as
\nrelief to the people that sought<\/p>\n
1001
\n00:57:54,680 –> 00:57:56,440
\ncounsel from.
\nHer. <\/p>\n
1002
\n00:57:56,440 –> 00:57:58,680
\nShe’s the prophetess.
\nDo you know? <\/p>\n
1003
\n00:57:59,560 –> 00:58:01,760
\nWhat is the What is the work of
\na prophetess? <\/p>\n
1004
\n00:58:01,760 –> 00:58:04,240
\nWell, Deuteronomy 18 says that
\nthe work of a prophet. <\/p>\n
1005
\n00:58:04,440 –> 00:58:08,000
\nWas to expound God’s mind and to
\nexpounds God. <\/p>\n
1006
\n00:58:08,000 –> 00:58:10,600
\nGod’s message.
\nShe had been moved. <\/p>\n
1007
\n00:58:10,760 –> 00:58:13,480
\nBy Yahweh’s words.
\nAnd had prophesied of their <\/p>\n
1008
\n00:58:13,480 –> 00:58:15,360
\noppression.
\nAnd God’s judgements at the hand<\/p>\n
1009
\n00:58:15,360 –> 00:58:18,520
\nof Jabin due to their idolatry.
\nAnd this therefore, brothers and<\/p>\n
1010
\n00:58:18,520 –> 00:58:20,680
\nsisters, I believe.
\nEarned her a reputation. <\/p>\n
1011
\n00:58:20,680 –> 00:58:25,360
\nAmong them as speaking God’s
\nmind and God’s message and. <\/p>\n
1012
\n00:58:25,440 –> 00:58:28,440
\nAll.
\nIsrael, it says, came to. <\/p>\n
1013
\n00:58:28,440 –> 00:58:33,000
\nHer for judgement.
\nDo you know that’s remarkable, <\/p>\n
1014
\n00:58:33,000 –> 00:58:35,000
\nbrothers and sisters.
\nBecause judges were supposed to <\/p>\n
1015
\n00:58:35,000 –> 00:58:36,120
\nbe.
\nAppointed in every. <\/p>\n
1016
\n00:58:36,120 –> 00:58:40,120
\nCity in every city.
\nThere was supposed to be a judge<\/p>\n
1017
\n00:58:40,120 –> 00:58:43,840
\nDeuteronomy 16, and yet here.
\nAll. <\/p>\n
1018
\n00:58:43,840 –> 00:58:49,480
\nIsrael were coming up the goat.
\nTracks to receive advice from <\/p>\n
1019
\n00:58:49,480 –> 00:58:53,640
\nthis remarkable woman.
\nWhere were all the other judges?<\/p>\n
1020
\n00:58:53,640 –> 00:58:54,880
\nBrothers and sisters and young
\npeople. <\/p>\n
1021
\n00:58:55,960 –> 00:58:59,760
\nLeadership had failed the
\ninhabitants, it says. <\/p>\n
1022
\n00:59:00,160 –> 00:59:02,440
\nJudges chapter 5 and verse.
\nSeven says. <\/p>\n
1023
\n00:59:02,840 –> 00:59:05,560
\nThat the inhabitants of the
\nvillages. <\/p>\n
1024
\n00:59:05,920 –> 00:59:10,480
\nCease the words really mean.
\nThe leaders or the chief rulers <\/p>\n
1025
\n00:59:10,960 –> 00:59:14,520
\ndisappeared.
\nLeadership completely gone. <\/p>\n
1026
\n00:59:15,160 –> 00:59:18,120
\nThe place where the judges
\nshould have been, there was war <\/p>\n
1027
\n00:59:18,120 –> 00:59:22,320
\nhappening at them.
\nLeadership was gone. <\/p>\n
1028
\n00:59:22,320 –> 00:59:24,040
\nIt’s better.
\nTranslates that the idea of the <\/p>\n
1029
\n00:59:24,040 –> 00:59:25,320
\ninhabitants.
\nOf the villages, it’s The <\/p>\n
1030
\n00:59:25,360 –> 00:59:27,880
\nChieftains or the rulers were
\ngone, leadership was <\/p>\n
1031
\n00:59:27,880 –> 00:59:30,160
\ndisappeared.
\nAs a result. <\/p>\n
1032
\n00:59:30,160 –> 00:59:33,120
\nOf failed leadership, idolatry
\nhad entered the land. <\/p>\n
1033
\n00:59:33,840 –> 00:59:38,200
\nAnd thus God punished them.
\nAnd because of this mighty. <\/p>\n
1034
\n00:59:38,200 –> 00:59:41,640
\nOppression all Israel had to
\nscurry in dart. <\/p>\n
1035
\n00:59:41,640 –> 00:59:46,640
\nFrom Bush to Bush, down the
\nbyways and the goat tracks to <\/p>\n
1036
\n00:59:46,640 –> 00:59:50,320
\nseek the council from this
\nremarkable woman and she dwells <\/p>\n
1037
\n00:59:50,320 –> 00:59:53,240
\nunder the palm tree of Deborah.
\nWe have don’t have any time to <\/p>\n
1038
\n00:59:53,240 –> 00:59:54,920
\nlook at it but.
\nThe palm tree is symbol of <\/p>\n
1039
\n00:59:54,920 –> 00:59:59,440
\nrighteousness, and she dwells
\nbetween Rhema and Bethel. <\/p>\n
1040
\n00:59:59,440 –> 01:00:01,160
\nThe high place.
\nAnd the. <\/p>\n
1041
\n01:00:01,160 –> 01:00:04,200
\nHouse of God, they knew where
\nshe was. <\/p>\n
1042
\n01:00:04,360 –> 01:00:07,840
\nThey knew what she stood for.
\nAnd therefore she was capable. <\/p>\n
1043
\n01:00:07,840 –> 01:00:10,080
\nOf giving.
\nAdvice the palm tree the. <\/p>\n
1044
\n01:00:10,080 –> 01:00:17,240
\nUpright, righteous palm tree.
\nAnd Deborah came at a time of <\/p>\n
1045
\n01:00:17,240 –> 01:00:23,960
\nimmense leadership vacuum and
\nstood up and took on the <\/p>\n
1046
\n01:00:23,960 –> 01:00:28,360
\nresponsibility of serving her
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
1047
\n01:00:31,280 –> 01:00:33,520
\nYou know, that’s a lesson for us
\nout of this study, brothers and <\/p>\n
1048
\n01:00:33,520 –> 01:00:35,760
\nsisters, if we haven’t already
\ngot a few lessons. <\/p>\n
1049
\n01:00:36,760 –> 01:00:41,640
\nYou see, leadership is, is
\nservice, not a position. <\/p>\n
1050
\n01:00:43,680 –> 01:00:49,000
\nYou see, when times are tough,
\nwhen the way is difficult, when <\/p>\n
1051
\n01:00:49,000 –> 01:00:53,800
\nwe see people under stress,
\ntrial and anguish, whose <\/p>\n
1052
\n01:00:53,800 –> 01:00:57,600
\nresponsibility is it to provide
\nthe support and to serve? <\/p>\n
1053
\n01:00:58,280 –> 01:01:01,200
\nThe answer is it’s every single
\neach one of us. <\/p>\n
1054
\n01:01:02,040 –> 01:01:07,760
\nThat needs to see the need and
\nstep up and serve. <\/p>\n
1055
\n01:01:09,280 –> 01:01:12,520
\nYou see, not everyone is going
\nto be leaders like Bayrack who <\/p>\n
1056
\n01:01:12,520 –> 01:01:14,880
\nare going to lead from the
\nfront, charging off into battle <\/p>\n
1057
\n01:01:14,880 –> 01:01:16,560
\nand leading.
\nThe way not everyone can do <\/p>\n
1058
\n01:01:16,560 –> 01:01:21,560
\nthat, brothers and sisters.
\nBut everyone can show Deborah <\/p>\n
1059
\n01:01:21,560 –> 01:01:27,800
\nlike leadership to care, to show
\nlove, to offer support, to offer<\/p>\n
1060
\n01:01:27,800 –> 01:01:30,840
\ncounsel in times of trial and
\nhardship. <\/p>\n
1061
\n01:01:30,880 –> 01:01:35,000
\nAnd particularly in those times
\nleadership is needed. <\/p>\n
1062
\n01:01:35,240 –> 01:01:39,760
\nLeadership is not a position.
\nLeadership is seeing a need and <\/p>\n
1063
\n01:01:39,760 –> 01:01:42,640
\nserve.
\nWe’ve each got to step up and <\/p>\n
1064
\n01:01:42,640 –> 01:01:46,400
\nshow that we care.
\nWe can’t just wait and expect. <\/p>\n
1065
\n01:01:46,400 –> 01:01:49,120
\nOthers you know here my scene to
\nhim is not the spirit of the <\/p>\n
1066
\n01:01:49,120 –> 01:01:52,440
\nBible, is it?
\nWe’ve got to step up and show <\/p>\n
1067
\n01:01:52,440 –> 01:01:53,920
\ncare.
\nWe’re not wait for others to <\/p>\n
1068
\n01:01:53,920 –> 01:01:55,480
\nstand up with.
\nCare and love. <\/p>\n
1069
\n01:01:55,480 –> 01:01:58,600
\nFor one another, is there a
\nrequirement and a commandment of<\/p>\n
1070
\n01:01:58,600 –> 01:02:02,000
\nour Lord who demonstrated
\nleadership by service to those <\/p>\n
1071
\n01:02:02,000 –> 01:02:03,680
\nHe loved?
\nWe’ve got to do the same. <\/p>\n
1072
\n01:02:04,280 –> 01:02:08,600
\nTrue leadership is all about the
\ninspiration of others by the <\/p>\n
1073
\n01:02:08,600 –> 01:02:12,320
\npower of positive example
\nthrough service. <\/p>\n
1074
\n01:02:13,040 –> 01:02:14,360
\nTrue leadership is like that,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n
1075
\n01:02:14,360 –> 01:02:17,720
\nRun the sisters.
\nIt’s about the inspiration of <\/p>\n
1076
\n01:02:17,760 –> 01:02:23,000
\nothers by the power of positive
\nexample through what we do. <\/p>\n
1077
\n01:02:24,240 –> 01:02:27,240
\nAnd we’re going to see and
\nwitness in our next study just <\/p>\n
1078
\n01:02:27,240 –> 01:02:30,600
\nhow Deborah was so brilliant at
\nthat and how she was able to <\/p>\n
1079
\n01:02:30,600 –> 01:02:38,680
\ncarefully and thoughtfully and
\nlovingly but sternly empowers <\/p>\n
1080
\n01:02:38,680 –> 01:02:43,200
\nBayrack, the hesitant commander,
\nto lead. <\/p>\n
1081
\n01:02:44,720 –> 01:02:46,520
\nAnd who, then, will inspire?
\nOthers. <\/p>\n
1082
\n01:02:47,600 –> 01:02:53,480
