Class 6 from this series was used in GCT Episode 329.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:04,096 –> 00:00:06,700
\nsession on getting wisdom and
\ngetting understanding. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:06,860 –> 00:00:10,092
\nAnd I think this is my favorite
\nout of all of these sessions, <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:10,092 –> 00:00:13,331
\nreally.
\nThis is the one where my head <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:13,331 –> 00:00:17,868
\njust goes and explodes as I come
\nto understand the incredible, <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:17,868 –> 00:00:20,340
\nawesome wisdom of our Heavenly
\nFather. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:20,440 –> 00:00:23,772
\nAnd the way he’s put it out in
\nhis scriptures, his <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:23,772 –> 00:00:27,428
\nunderstanding and his wisdom.
\nSo today we’re going to be <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:27,428 –> 00:00:31,099
\nlooking at this purpose
\nstatement number five in chapter<\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:31,099 –> 00:00:34,023
\none to six.
\nSo remember, of course, that in <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:34,023 –> 00:00:36,693
\nchapter one of Proverbs, it
\nhelpfully sets out a purpose <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:36,693 –> 00:00:38,433
\nstatement.
\nThis is the promise of the book.<\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:38,433 –> 00:00:40,580
\nThis is what you’re going to get
\nif you engage with it. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:40,640 –> 00:00:43,808
\nThere are five statements and
\nwe’re going to look at purpose <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:43,808 –> 00:00:47,768
\nnumber five, which is in chapter
\none, verse six, which says to <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:47,768 –> 00:00:52,325
\nunderstand a proverb and the
\ninterpretation, the words of the<\/p>\n
17
\n00:00:52,325 –> 00:00:56,296
\nwise and their dark sayings.
\nSo there’s a lot going on in <\/p>\n
18
\n00:00:56,296 –> 00:00:57,986
\nthere, isn’t there?
\nSo let’s just for a moment <\/p>\n
19
\n00:00:57,986 –> 00:00:59,940
\nunpack it.
\nThere’s going to be an <\/p>\n
20
\n00:00:59,940 –> 00:01:02,280
\nunderstanding in this book of
\nsomething called a proverb. <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:02,420 –> 00:01:04,940
\nWhat’s a proverb and how do you
\nunderstand it? <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:05,040 –> 00:01:09,000
\nAnd why does it need an
\ninterpretation, an explanation? <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:10,340 –> 00:01:12,120
\nThat suggests there’s something
\nhidden in it. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:12,960 –> 00:01:16,210
\nThere are wise words.
\nSo we’re going to be dealing <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:16,210 –> 00:01:18,200
\nwith words here and their dark
\nsayings. <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:18,200 –> 00:01:21,264
\nIt’s the term riddle.
\nIt’s often translated elsewhere <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:21,264 –> 00:01:25,920
\nas riddle and Samson’s riddle.
\nDark sayings is something hidden<\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:25,920 –> 00:01:29,680
\nbehind these words that needs to
\nbe understood and seen. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:29,860 –> 00:01:33,133
\nSo that’s our purpose, really,
\nto look at this statement here <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:33,133 –> 00:01:36,103
\nand to understand how that’s
\ndelivered in the book of <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:36,103 –> 00:01:38,410
\nProverbs.
\nAs we saw, this purpose <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:38,410 –> 00:01:42,832
\nstatement is in expanded in
\nchapter two and also in chapter <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:42,832 –> 00:01:45,980
\nfour here, where we read.
\nTurn up with me to Proverbs <\/p>\n
34
\n00:01:45,980 –> 00:01:47,960
\nchapter four and you can read it
\nin your own Bibles. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:01:49,560 –> 00:01:52,456
\nWell, we have this purpose
\nstatement expanded a bit, <\/p>\n
36
\n00:01:52,456 –> 00:01:55,005
\nunpacked a little bit.
\nSo we get a little bit more <\/p>\n
37
\n00:01:55,005 –> 00:01:56,400
\ninformation on what it means to
\nget understanding. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:01:57,740 –> 00:02:00,822
\nSo Proverbs chapter four, verse
\none, it says, Hear ye children <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:00,822 –> 00:02:04,560
\nthe instruction of a father and
\nattend to know understanding. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:04,760 –> 00:02:08,114
\nSo it’s a fundamental part of
\nthe book here as we listen to <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:08,114 –> 00:02:10,947
\nthe father, the words of the
\nfather, as the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:10,947 –> 00:02:14,194
\nChrist, the son, listened to the
\nfather and said, Hear ye <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:14,194 –> 00:02:18,156
\nchildren the instruction of the
\nfather and attend because you’re<\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:18,156 –> 00:02:21,580
\ngoing to know understanding.
\nVerse five of chapter four. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:21,900 –> 00:02:25,775
\nGet wisdom, get understanding.
\nForget it not, neither decline <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:25,775 –> 00:02:29,555
\nfrom the words of my mouth.
\nForsake her not, she shall <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:29,555 –> 00:02:32,220
\npreserve thee.
\nLove her and she’ll keep thee. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:32,300 –> 00:02:35,591
\nIdea of hedging about or
\nguarding you these words and <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:35,591 –> 00:02:37,864
\nunderstanding.
\nWisdom’s the principal thing, <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:37,864 –> 00:02:40,849
\ntherefore get wisdom.
\nAnd with all your getting, get <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:40,849 –> 00:02:43,282
\nunderstanding.
\nVerse eight, exalt her and she <\/p>\n
52
\n00:02:43,282 –> 00:02:45,320
\nshall promote thee.
\nShe shall bring thee to honor <\/p>\n
53
\n00:02:45,320 –> 00:02:48,074
\nwhen you do embrace her.
\nShe’ll give to thine head an <\/p>\n
54
\n00:02:48,074 –> 00:02:49,740
\nornament of grace, a crown of
\nglory. <\/p>\n
55
\n00:02:49,840 –> 00:02:52,134
\nShe’ll deliver thee.
\nSo what an incredible promise <\/p>\n
56
\n00:02:52,134 –> 00:02:53,742
\nhere.
\nAnd you can see all the <\/p>\n
57
\n00:02:53,742 –> 00:02:56,120
\nallusions in the New Testament,
\nthe crown of glory in first <\/p>\n
58
\n00:02:56,120 –> 00:02:59,075
\nPeter chapter five, verse four.
\nHebrews chapter two, verse nine,<\/p>\n
59
\n00:02:59,075 –> 00:03:03,196
\nthat use this phrase, the crown
\nof glory to represent eternal <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:03,196 –> 00:03:07,540
\nlife with God and with Christ.
\nThat’s the promise of the book. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:07,540 –> 00:03:11,592
\nIf we get to understand a
\nproverb, to unpack the riddles <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:11,592 –> 00:03:15,717
\nor dark sayings of the wise.
\nNotice also that there’s married<\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:15,717 –> 00:03:17,620
\nlanguage.
\nForsake her not. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:18,260 –> 00:03:21,146
\nEmbrace her.
\nA crown of glory in Proverbs <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:21,146 –> 00:03:24,630
\nchapter 12, verse four is a
\nvirtuous woman’s a crown to her <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:24,630 –> 00:03:26,140
\nhusband.
\nSo there’s married language <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:26,140 –> 00:03:28,380
\nbehind here.
\nAn idea that’s starting to <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:28,380 –> 00:03:30,320
\nemerge that we’re married to
\nwisdom. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:30,320 –> 00:03:34,350
\nSo that’s the purpose.
\nAnd it seems well worth it, <\/p>\n
70
\n00:03:34,350 –> 00:03:36,920
\ndoesn’t it?
\nIn terms of the promise that we <\/p>\n
71
\n00:03:36,920 –> 00:03:40,115
\nwill get.
\nThe reward at the end of <\/p>\n
72
\n00:03:40,115 –> 00:03:43,775
\npromotion and honor and an
\nornament of grace and a crown of<\/p>\n
73
\n00:03:43,775 –> 00:03:46,040
\nglory.
\nSo here’s our agenda today. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:03:46,760 –> 00:03:50,412
\nThere’s two things.
\nAt the end, we know to <\/p>\n
75
\n00:03:50,412 –> 00:03:52,020
\nunderstand.
\nWe want to understand a proverb.<\/p>\n
76
\n00:03:52,260 –> 00:03:56,280
\nWhat is a proverb?
\nWhat does interpret a proverb <\/p>\n
77
\n00:03:56,280 –> 00:03:59,558
\nmean?
\nWhat have they got to do with <\/p>\n
78
\n00:03:59,558 –> 00:04:02,200
\ngetting understanding and wisdom
\nthat we’re instructed to do? <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:02,480 –> 00:04:05,597
\nGet wisdom.
\nGet with all your getting <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:05,597 –> 00:04:08,350
\nunderstanding.
\nThe second thing we want to do <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:08,350 –> 00:04:10,420
\nis take a closer look at this
\nwoman wisdom. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:10,720 –> 00:04:13,612
\nWho is she?
\nAs she pervades the book of <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:13,612 –> 00:04:17,128
\nProverbs.
\nAnd what does she have to do <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:17,128 –> 00:04:19,480
\nwith getting understanding and
\ngetting wisdom? <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:19,480 –> 00:04:21,959
\nWisdom.
\nSo that’s our agenda today. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:22,060 –> 00:04:24,060
\nAnd those are the two objectives
\nwe have. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:04:24,180 –> 00:04:27,898
\nNow, we need to remember a few
\nthings as we build on our <\/p>\n
88
\n00:04:27,898 –> 00:04:30,907
\nearlier sessions and studies.
\nSo here’s three things to <\/p>\n
89
\n00:04:30,907 –> 00:04:35,165
\nremember.
\nFirst, the book of Proverbs, <\/p>\n
90
\n00:04:35,165 –> 00:04:39,779
\nknowledge, understanding, and
\nwisdom, is fundamentally about <\/p>\n
91
\n00:04:39,779 –> 00:04:46,207
\ndiscerning between the good and
\nevil in thought, in speech, in <\/p>\n
92
\n00:04:46,207 –> 00:04:50,814
\naction, and in judgment.
\nSo it’s about moral knowledge, <\/p>\n
93
\n00:04:50,814 –> 00:04:55,440
\nunderstanding, and wisdom in its
\nfirst and primary focus. <\/p>\n
94
\n00:04:55,980 –> 00:04:58,060
\nThat’s what the book of Proverbs
\nis about. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:04:58,600 –> 00:05:02,504
\nRight and wrong, and the
\nchoosing of the good, and the <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:02,504 –> 00:05:06,472
\nrejecting of the evil.
\nSecond, it’s a relationship <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:06,472 –> 00:05:09,262
\nbook.
\nIt’s about a father and a son, <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:09,262 –> 00:05:12,620
\nand the chastening correction
\nprocess that he puts each of us <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:12,620 –> 00:05:17,440
\nthrough as his children, so that
\nwe can, along with the Son, the <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:17,440 –> 00:05:21,440
\nLord Jesus Christ, refuse the
\nevil and choose the good. <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:22,980 –> 00:05:26,761
\nAnd remember the process.
\nKnowledge, understanding, wisdom<\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:26,761 –> 00:05:31,496
\nis a process.
\nWisdom is knowledge and <\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:31,496 –> 00:05:35,616
\nunderstanding in practice.
\nAnd a fear of Yahweh, or his <\/p>\n
104
\n00:05:35,616 –> 00:05:39,873
\njudgment in the ellipsis, is the
\nbeginning of our journey in <\/p>\n
105
\n00:05:39,873 –> 00:05:42,986
\nknowledge, that proceeds to
\nunderstanding, and wisdom <\/p>\n
106
\n00:05:42,986 –> 00:05:47,072
\nincludes the fear of Yahweh,
\nknowledge and understanding in <\/p>\n
107
\n00:05:47,072 –> 00:05:49,958
\nits application.
\nSo there’s three big ideas that <\/p>\n
108
\n00:05:49,958 –> 00:05:53,181
\nwe’ve looked at in previous
\nsessions, and we’re going to use<\/p>\n
109
\n00:05:53,181 –> 00:05:56,400
\nthese again today.
\nOne last thing. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:05:57,360 –> 00:06:01,971
\nThe concept of understanding we
\nsaw yesterday is about taking <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:01,971 –> 00:06:06,120
\ncomplex things and breaking them
\ninto their smaller parts. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:07,180 –> 00:06:11,555
\nAnd so the Hebrew term for
\nunderstanding, b’nai, means to <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:11,555 –> 00:06:13,740
\nseparate mentally into the
\npieces. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:14,300 –> 00:06:17,840
\nOr in the Greek New Testament,
\nsunimi, the term normally <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:17,840 –> 00:06:21,020
\ntranslated as understanding
\nmeans to send or put together. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:21,020 –> 00:06:25,272
\nSo we’ve got this idea, don’t
\nwe, that understanding <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:25,272 –> 00:06:29,108
\nfundamentally is about bits.
\nThey’ve either been <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:29,108 –> 00:06:32,896
\ndeconstructed from complexity so
\nwe can see them, or they’ve been<\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:32,896 –> 00:06:34,940
\nput back together to create the
\ncomplexity. <\/p>\n
120
\n00:06:35,380 –> 00:06:40,899
\nAnd in the separation and the
\nassembling is the idea of <\/p>\n
121
\n00:06:40,899 –> 00:06:43,496
\nunderstanding.
\nAll right, so those are some <\/p>\n
122
\n00:06:43,496 –> 00:06:46,473
\nthings to remember, and we’re
\ngoing to be using those as we go<\/p>\n
123
\n00:06:46,473 –> 00:06:50,660
\nthrough this morning.
\nBut today we need a helper. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:06:50,660 –> 00:06:53,980
\nSo we’ve got a young helper
\nwho’s going to help us today. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:06:55,560 –> 00:06:59,600
\nJust let you go, oh, oh, for a
\nfew moments. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:00,180 –> 00:07:03,380
\nSo this is Obadiah.
\nIs Obadiah in the tent, or is he<\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:03,380 –> 00:07:06,460
\nin his?
\nHe’s in the crying room. <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:07,820 –> 00:07:09,240
\nHaving a feed.
\nGreat. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:09,700 –> 00:07:13,340
\nThat’s where he should be.
\nSo this is Obadiah Jackson. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:13,560 –> 00:07:16,837
\nHe’s about two months old.
\nWonderful name, the servant of <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:16,837 –> 00:07:19,478
\nYah.
\nAnd he’s going to help us this <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:19,478 –> 00:07:21,816
\nmorning and come to know
\nunderstanding, knowledge, <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:21,816 –> 00:07:23,820
\nunderstanding, and wisdom in the
\nprocess. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:24,960 –> 00:07:29,548
\nSo all of us here at some point
\nwere two months old, like <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:29,548 –> 00:07:34,020
\nObadiah.
\nAnd we had no knowledge, no <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:34,020 –> 00:07:37,600
\nunderstanding, no wisdom.
\nWe were helpless. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:37,600 –> 00:07:41,340
\nWe were reliant on our parents
\nand those around us. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:42,060 –> 00:07:47,084
\nNow somewhere around about two
\nmonths old, a baby starts to <\/p>\n
139
\n00:07:47,084 –> 00:07:49,820
\nbecome really aware of its
\nenvironment. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:07:50,100 –> 00:07:53,808
\nSo from birth, baby’s born,
\ndoesn’t know anything really, <\/p>\n
141
\n00:07:53,808 –> 00:07:57,100
\ndoesn’t understand anything, it
\ndoesn’t have biblical wisdom. <\/p>\n
142
\n00:07:57,100 –> 00:08:02,950
\nBut immediately, a baby has been
\nborn with God-given <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:02,950 –> 00:08:05,520
\ncapabilities.
\nThey have five senses. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:05,720 –> 00:08:09,052
\nNow just to accept there’s five,
\nI had quite a debate with one of<\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:09,052 –> 00:08:11,660
\nmy daughters the other day about
\nwhether there were other senses.<\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:11,920 –> 00:08:17,219
\nBut let’s just agree to disagree
\nthat there are five organs of <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:17,219 –> 00:08:21,440
\nsense.
\nSo there are eyes, sight, <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:21,440 –> 00:08:24,880
\nhearing, smelling, taste, and
\ntouch. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:24,880 –> 00:08:27,680
\nSo there are five senses, and
\nObadiah has these. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:27,720 –> 00:08:32,139
\nEach of us were born with them.
\nAnd as we came into the world, <\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:32,139 –> 00:08:35,104
\nthose five senses began to
\ninteract with the world around <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:35,104 –> 00:08:38,580
\nus.
\nAnd we began to create patterns.<\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:39,679 –> 00:08:43,366
\nI read a very interesting
\narticle, academic article, that <\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:43,366 –> 00:08:47,590
\nwas trying to answer the
\nquestion, does language come <\/p>\n
155
\n00:08:47,590 –> 00:08:50,040
\nfirst or does pattern
\nrecognition come first? <\/p>\n
156
\n00:08:50,040 –> 00:08:55,040
\nIs a baby born with a language
\nstructure in its head that then <\/p>\n
157
\n00:08:55,040 –> 00:08:59,365
\ngets applied to its experience?
\nOr does its experience start <\/p>\n
158
\n00:08:59,365 –> 00:09:01,600
\nfirst and then language comes
\nafter? <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:01,700 –> 00:09:05,138
\nAnd it’s an important question
\nbecause there are certain <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:05,138 –> 00:09:09,340
\naspects of babies that they
\nalready have an instinct to eat.<\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:10,720 –> 00:09:13,910
\nAnimals already can be born and
\nwithin minutes of standing up <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:13,910 –> 00:09:16,290
\nand walking around.
\nSo there’s already somewhere a <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:16,290 –> 00:09:19,800
\nmap in them that’s created.
\nAnd they wondered, is there a <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:19,800 –> 00:09:23,390
\nmap of language in a baby?
\nThe answer of this, they <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:23,390 –> 00:09:25,220
\nconcluded, was no, language
\ncomes second. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:25,220 –> 00:09:30,534
\nAnd it all starts where, with
\nthe five senses, babies begin to<\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:30,534 –> 00:09:34,954
\nrecognize by comparison that
\nsome things are similar and some<\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:34,954 –> 00:09:38,680
\nthings are different.
\nSo they hear a voice. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:09:38,980 –> 00:09:40,980
\nIt’s mum’s voice.
\nThey hear a voice. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:09:41,100 –> 00:09:44,168
\nIt’s dad’s voice.
\nThey’re different, but they’re <\/p>\n
171
\n00:09:44,168 –> 00:09:46,540
\nsimilar.
\nThey see things. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:09:47,040 –> 00:09:49,180
\nThey see mum.
\nThey see dad. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:09:49,660 –> 00:09:51,300
\nThey’re different, but they’re
\nsimilar. <\/p>\n
174
\n00:09:51,300 –> 00:09:56,671
\nAnd through each of the senses,
\na baby begins to create a map of<\/p>\n
175
\n00:09:56,671 –> 00:09:59,360
\nexperience, of comparison.
\nSome things are similar. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:09:59,740 –> 00:10:02,660
\nSome things are different.
\nSome things are very different. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:02,840 –> 00:10:06,756
\nSome things are very similar.
\nThen after a while, they begin <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:06,756 –> 00:10:08,800
\nto see a repetition of a
\npattern. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:08,800 –> 00:10:16,990
\nSo when I am hungry and I cry,
\nthen immediately mum or dad <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:16,990 –> 00:10:22,976
\nturns up and I’m fed.
\nSo they begin to see an <\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:22,976 –> 00:10:26,280
\nassociation of sounds and
\nvisions and smells. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:26,980 –> 00:10:30,060
\nAnd so they begin to create this
\nmap of comparisons. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:31,340 –> 00:10:32,660
\nYou know, it’s amazing, isn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:32,660 –> 00:10:37,870
\nThe heavenly father and his
\ngenius has created us from birth<\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:37,870 –> 00:10:42,600
\nto have this drive for food and
\nneed for food. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:42,820 –> 00:10:46,884
\nAnd if we don’t have it, it
\ncreates this hunger, this pain, <\/p>\n
187
\n00:10:46,884 –> 00:10:49,700
\nthis anguish.
\nAnd we need it satisfied. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:10:49,700 –> 00:10:55,472
\nSo right at the very base of a
\nborn baby, God’s created just <\/p>\n
189
\n00:10:55,472 –> 00:11:00,800
\nthe kernel of an idea of good
\nand evil, pain and satisfaction.<\/p>\n
190
\n00:11:01,660 –> 00:11:03,940
\nAnd so a baby cries because it’s
\npainful. <\/p>\n
191
\n00:11:04,060 –> 00:11:07,885
\nIt’s hungry.
\nIts mother picks it up, feeds <\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:07,885 –> 00:11:12,266
\nthe baby, and it’s satisfied.
\nAnd so while it’s not a moral <\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:12,266 –> 00:11:15,660
\nconcept yet, the baby doesn’t
\nknow what morality is. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:16,200 –> 00:11:21,959
\nGod’s created in it this idea
\nthat will become a base for a <\/p>\n
195
\n00:11:21,959 –> 00:11:27,520
\nconcept later of good and of
\nevil, of satisfaction and <\/p>\n
196
\n00:11:27,520 –> 00:11:32,998
\nsomething that’s painful.
\nYou know, when you get to my <\/p>\n
197
\n00:11:32,998 –> 00:11:35,938
\nage, I still have the
\nsatisfaction and pain of hunger <\/p>\n
198
\n00:11:35,938 –> 00:11:37,400
\nand of eating.
\nWe all do. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:11:37,400 –> 00:11:41,943
\nIsn’t it incredible that God’s
\ncreated us, created a baby, and <\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:41,943 –> 00:11:46,480
\nhis genius like this to have the
\nkernel of these ideas? <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:47,540 –> 00:11:54,658
\nNow, at some point, around about
\n9 to 12 months, Obadiah is going<\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:54,658 –> 00:11:59,370
\nto start really associating
\nthese objects, these actions, <\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:59,370 –> 00:12:03,995
\nthese qualities of things, this
\nvast web of categorizations, and<\/p>\n
204
\n00:12:03,995 –> 00:12:07,190
\nsimilarities and differences
\nthat are evolving in his mind <\/p>\n
205
\n00:12:07,190 –> 00:12:11,075
\nthrough experience of five
\nsenses, is going to note that <\/p>\n
206
\n00:12:11,075 –> 00:12:15,728
\nthe people around him are making
\nnoises that are associated with <\/p>\n
207
\n00:12:15,728 –> 00:12:17,840
\ncertain events or certain
\nthings. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:12:19,120 –> 00:12:23,680
\nAnd so the kernel of an idea of
\nlanguage is going to start being<\/p>\n
209
\n00:12:23,680 –> 00:12:27,280
\ncreated in Obadiah’s mind.
\nAnd at some point, he’s going to<\/p>\n
210
\n00:12:27,280 –> 00:12:31,642
\nrealize he can make sounds.
\nAnd he can make sounds similar <\/p>\n
211
\n00:12:31,642 –> 00:12:36,091
\nwhen he compares them to others.
\nThey’re the same, or the sounds <\/p>\n
212
\n00:12:36,091 –> 00:12:38,980
\nare different, and they’re
\nconnected to objects and things.<\/p>\n
213
\n00:12:39,460 –> 00:12:43,215
\nIncredible, isn’t it, that our
\nHeavenly Father’s created us to <\/p>\n
214
\n00:12:43,215 –> 00:12:46,635
\nlearn like this?
\nBy comparing, we’re similar, <\/p>\n
215
\n00:12:46,635 –> 00:12:49,000
\nthey’re different, and through
\nassociations. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:12:49,000 –> 00:12:54,500
\nAnd so Obadiah, at some point,
\nwill say his first word. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:55,260 –> 00:12:58,283
\nI’m sorry, Dex, I don’t know
\nwhether it will be mummy or <\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:58,283 –> 00:13:00,040
\ndaddy, but I’ll leave that to
\nyou. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:13:01,500 –> 00:13:05,940
\nFirst conflict around a baby.
\nWas it mum, or was it dad? <\/p>\n
220
\n00:13:08,100 –> 00:13:09,580
\nSo Obadiah’s going to learn
\nlanguage. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:13:10,460 –> 00:13:13,110
\nHe’s going to put sounds, we
\ncall them phonemes, associated <\/p>\n
222
\n00:13:13,110 –> 00:13:16,740
\nwith it, and he’s going to learn
\nlanguage from those around him. <\/p>\n
223
\n00:13:16,740 –> 00:13:21,518
\nAt some point, four years old,
\nfive, he will be sat down, he’ll<\/p>\n
224
\n00:13:21,518 –> 00:13:26,162
\nbe given a pen, a pencil, and
\nhe’ll be taught that actually <\/p>\n
225
\n00:13:26,162 –> 00:13:29,408
\nyou can put little symbols that
\nrepresent the sounds, that <\/p>\n
226
\n00:13:29,408 –> 00:13:31,912
\nrepresent the ideas that you
\nwere learning right from a baby <\/p>\n
227
\n00:13:31,912 –> 00:13:35,310
\nwhen you were born.
\nAnd so he’ll develop written <\/p>\n
228
\n00:13:35,310 –> 00:13:38,836
\nlanguage.
\nAnd every baby born in any <\/p>\n
229
\n00:13:38,836 –> 00:13:41,695
\ncountry, anywhere in the world,
\nwill be going through that <\/p>\n
230
\n00:13:41,695 –> 00:13:43,470
\nprocess.
\nThey just happen to have <\/p>\n
231
\n00:13:43,470 –> 00:13:44,760
\ndifferent symbols and different
\nsounds. <\/p>\n
232
\n00:13:44,760 –> 00:13:48,308
\nBut, of course, it’s all based
\non the same process, which is <\/p>\n
233
\n00:13:48,308 –> 00:13:51,100
\nwhy you can translate from one
\ncountry or language to another, <\/p>\n
234
\n00:13:51,360 –> 00:13:54,430
\nand people can understand each
\nother because they’ve got the <\/p>\n
235
\n00:13:54,430 –> 00:13:55,960
\nsame processes sitting behind
\nit. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:56,000 –> 00:14:00,300
\nIt’s the formation of language
\nand words. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:14:01,280 –> 00:14:06,180
\nAnd, of course, God’s Bible is
\nthe word or language of God. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:14:06,180 –> 00:14:10,444
\nAll right, well, that’s Obadiah.
\nThank you, Obadiah, for your <\/p>\n
239
\n00:14:10,444 –> 00:14:11,580
\nhelp.
\nAppreciate that. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:14:12,960 –> 00:14:18,268
\nSo he’ll begin to see patterns
\nand compare them and see that <\/p>\n
241
\n00:14:18,268 –> 00:14:20,920
\nsome things are similar and
\ndifferent. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:14:21,420 –> 00:14:25,390
\nHe’ll begin to see that some
\nthings are similar in ways that <\/p>\n
243
\n00:14:25,390 –> 00:14:28,235
\nother things aren’t, and he’ll
\ncreate a category called animals<\/p>\n
244
\n00:14:28,235 –> 00:14:30,972
\nand a category called fruit.
\nAnd then there’ll be fruit that <\/p>\n
245
\n00:14:30,972 –> 00:14:32,240
\nare similar and different as
\nwell. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:14:32,940 –> 00:14:37,539
\nSo you have a vast
\ninterconnected web of these <\/p>\n
247
\n00:14:37,539 –> 00:14:41,118
\ncomparisons, similarities, and
\ndifferences by the time he’s one<\/p>\n
248
\n00:14:41,118 –> 00:14:45,100
\nor two and begins to speak, by
\nthe time he becomes five and he <\/p>\n
249
\n00:14:45,100 –> 00:14:48,272
\nbegins to write.
\nAnd when we get to our age, of <\/p>\n
250
\n00:14:48,272 –> 00:14:51,726
\ncourse, we do this without even
\nthinking because it’s built in <\/p>\n
251
\n00:14:51,726 –> 00:14:54,587
\nus.
\nNow, the point is our Heavenly <\/p>\n
252
\n00:14:54,587 –> 00:15:00,150
\nFather’s created us to be able
\nto do this, and it’s the basis <\/p>\n
253
\n00:15:00,150 –> 00:15:03,060
\nof thought, comprehension, and
\nunderstanding. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:15:04,040 –> 00:15:06,420
\nNow, Paul had something really
\nfascinating to say. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:15:06,520 –> 00:15:10,552
\nHe got quite frustrated here on
\nHebrews 5, verses 12 to 14, as <\/p>\n
256
\n00:15:10,552 –> 00:15:14,196
\nhe was trying to explain through
\nwords to the brethren and <\/p>\n
257
\n00:15:14,196 –> 00:15:20,280
\nsisters of the time that he was
\ntrying to teach them something. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:15:20,420 –> 00:15:23,440
\nSo he says in Hebrews 5, verse
\n12, you hear this frustration. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:15:23,840 –> 00:15:27,217
\nWhen for the time ye ought to be
\nteachers, you have need that one<\/p>\n
260
\n00:15:27,217 –> 00:15:30,436
\nteach you again what are the
\nfirst principles of the oracles <\/p>\n
261
\n00:15:30,436 –> 00:15:33,874
\nof God.
\nAnd you’ll become such as have <\/p>\n
262
\n00:15:33,874 –> 00:15:36,180
\nneed of milk and not of strong
\nmeat. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:15:36,180 –> 00:15:41,090
\nFor everyone that uses milk is
\nunskillful in the word of <\/p>\n
264
\n00:15:41,090 –> 00:15:43,320
\nrighteousness because they’re a
\nbaby. <\/p>\n
265
\n00:15:43,320 –> 00:15:48,710
\nBut strong meat belongs to them
\nwho are of full age, who by the <\/p>\n
266
\n00:15:48,710 –> 00:15:52,804
\nreason of use have their senses,
\nthat’s literally their organ of <\/p>\n
267
\n00:15:52,804 –> 00:15:57,038
\nperception, that is our five
\nsenses, exercised to discern <\/p>\n
268
\n00:15:57,038 –> 00:16:02,876
\nboth good and evil.
\nSo Paul’s used the analogy of a <\/p>\n
269
\n00:16:02,876 –> 00:16:08,760
\nbaby and their need for milk to
\ncompare it to someone who is an <\/p>\n
270
\n00:16:08,760 –> 00:16:13,116
\nadult and their need to eat
\nstrong meat and used it to <\/p>\n
271
\n00:16:13,116 –> 00:16:17,304
\nrepresent the idea that each of
\nus, when we’re born with our <\/p>\n
272
\n00:16:17,304 –> 00:16:20,970
\nfive senses, have those
\nexercised progressively through <\/p>\n
273
\n00:16:20,970 –> 00:16:26,180
\nour life by reason of use to
\ndiscern good and evil. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:16:26,180 –> 00:16:30,500
\nSo this is telling us our five
\nsenses, our senses are related <\/p>\n
275
\n00:16:30,500 –> 00:16:35,072
\nto the perception of good and
\nevil and an exercise of them in <\/p>\n
276
\n00:16:35,072 –> 00:16:37,460
\na certain way is necessary to
\ndiscern. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:16:38,800 –> 00:16:43,020
\nAll right, well let’s move on
\nfrom that foundation of ideas. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:16:43,960 –> 00:16:48,360
\nThe formation of all language
\nwith just two ideas taken away. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:16:48,360 –> 00:16:54,440
\nLanguage begins, thinking
\nbegins, by comparing things and <\/p>\n
280
\n00:16:54,440 –> 00:17:00,520
\nseeing they’re similar or that
\nthey are different. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:17:01,140 –> 00:17:05,099
\nJust take that thought away.
\nAll right, what is a proverb? <\/p>\n
282
\n00:17:06,119 –> 00:17:09,980
\nWell, the proverbs, this is the
\nprimary mode of the book. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:17:10,060 –> 00:17:12,619
\nSo in chapter 1 verse 1 it says
\nthey’re proverbs of Solomon. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:17:12,619 –> 00:17:16,020
\nChapter 10 verse 1 again is the
\nproverbs of Solomon. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:17:16,260 –> 00:17:19,500
\nChapter 25 verse 1, the proverbs
\nof Solomon. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:17:19,680 –> 00:17:22,579
\nSo it’s the primary mode of the
\nbook, a proverb. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:17:24,500 –> 00:17:28,075
\nWe saw from chapter 1 verse 16
\nthat there’s something about <\/p>\n
288
\n00:17:28,075 –> 00:17:30,756
\nproverbs that are related to
\ncomprehension, to understanding <\/p>\n
289
\n00:17:30,756 –> 00:17:33,408
\nthat need interpreting.
\nThere’s something hidden behind <\/p>\n
290
\n00:17:33,408 –> 00:17:34,980
\nthem.
\nWhen you see it, it’s <\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:34,980 –> 00:17:36,120
\ninterpreted and you can
\nperceive. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:17:36,120 –> 00:17:41,382
\nAnd it’s something to do with
\nthe process of learning <\/p>\n
293
\n00:17:41,382 –> 00:17:44,608
\ncomprehension of understanding.
\nNow the Hebrew term, as you’ll <\/p>\n
294
\n00:17:44,608 –> 00:17:48,474
\nprobably know, is mashal.
\nIt’s the term which means a <\/p>\n
295
\n00:17:48,474 –> 00:17:52,240
\nsuperiority in mental action
\ncoming from a base term, <\/p>\n
296
\n00:17:52,800 –> 00:17:55,500
\nprimitive root used in Genesis,
\nto rule. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:17:55,760 –> 00:17:58,760
\nWhere the sun, moon and stars,
\nthe sun ruled the night. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:17:58,760 –> 00:18:04,446
\nAnd the moon was to rule, sorry,
\nsun was to rule the day and the <\/p>\n
299
\n00:18:04,446 –> 00:18:08,678
\nmoon was to rule the night.
\nSo that’s the origins of the <\/p>\n
300
\n00:18:08,678 –> 00:18:11,580
\nidea.
\nBut this derivative means mental<\/p>\n
301
\n00:18:11,580 –> 00:18:15,818
\naction that is superior.
\nSo it’s talking about <\/p>\n
302
\n00:18:15,818 –> 00:18:17,360
\ncomprehension, wisdom,
\nknowledge. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:18:17,520 –> 00:18:21,000
\nIt’s something to do with that
\nencapsulated in words. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:18:21,120 –> 00:18:26,608
\nThat’s the term, a proverb.
\nProverbs are inherently about <\/p>\n
305
\n00:18:26,608 –> 00:18:29,100
\ncomprehension.
\nHere’s a passage on the screen, <\/p>\n
306
\n00:18:29,100 –> 00:18:33,652
\n1 Kings 4, Ecclesiastes 12.
\nAnd as we read these, see that <\/p>\n
307
\n00:18:33,652 –> 00:18:36,040
\nproverbs are about wisdom and
\ncomprehension. <\/p>\n
308
\n00:18:36,640 –> 00:18:39,848
\nAnd they’re about words.
\nSo they’re taking knowledge, <\/p>\n
309
\n00:18:39,848 –> 00:18:43,944
\nunderstanding wisdom, and
\nthey’re putting it into words. 1<\/p>\n
310
\n00:18:43,944 –> 00:18:47,789
\nKings 4, verse 29.
\nGod gave Solomon wisdom and <\/p>\n
311
\n00:18:47,789 –> 00:18:50,500
\nunderstanding exceeding much.
\nVerse 30. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:18:50,600 –> 00:18:52,888
\nSolomon’s wisdom excelled the
\nwisdom of all the children of <\/p>\n
313
\n00:18:52,888 –> 00:18:54,940
\nthe East Country and all the
\nwisdom of Egypt. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:18:54,940 –> 00:18:58,980
\nHe was wiser than all men.
\nVerse 32. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:18:59,120 –> 00:19:04,802
\nAnd he spake 3,000 proverbs.
\nSo you can see that there’s an <\/p>\n
316
\n00:19:04,802 –> 00:19:08,630
\nassociation of speaking 3,000
\nproverbs and being wiser than <\/p>\n
317
\n00:19:08,630 –> 00:19:13,024
\neverybody else.
\nEcclesiastes chapter 12, verse 9<\/p>\n
318
\n00:19:13,024 –> 00:19:17,676
\nto 10 says, Moreover, because
\nthe preacher was wise, he taught<\/p>\n
319
\n00:19:17,676 –> 00:19:22,692
\nthe people knowledge, gave good
\nheed, sought out, and set in <\/p>\n
320
\n00:19:22,692 –> 00:19:26,850
\norder many proverbs.
\nSo proverbs and the setting out <\/p>\n
321
\n00:19:26,850 –> 00:19:30,500
\nof order is about teaching.
\nIt’s about wisdom. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:19:30,500 –> 00:19:32,620
\nIt’s about the imparting of
\nknowledge. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:19:32,760 –> 00:19:35,880
\nYea, the preacher sought to find
\nout acceptable words. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:19:36,380 –> 00:19:40,106
\nSo there’s something to do with
\nwords that was written upright, <\/p>\n
325
\n00:19:40,106 –> 00:19:43,767
\nwords of truth.
\nSo proverbs are about <\/p>\n
326
\n00:19:43,767 –> 00:19:47,648
\ncomprehension and understanding.
\nThey’re an encapsulation in <\/p>\n
327
\n00:19:47,648 –> 00:19:50,600
\nwords of knowledge and
\nunderstanding and wisdom. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:19:50,600 –> 00:19:55,367
\nAnd they’re the output of the
\nwisdom of Solomon captured for <\/p>\n
329
\n00:19:55,367 –> 00:19:57,920
\nus.
\nThat’s what a proverb is. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:19:59,340 –> 00:20:03,300
\nThere’s something to do with the
\nmind, superiority of thinking, <\/p>\n
331
\n00:20:03,300 –> 00:20:06,960
\nmartial, of a proverb.
\nAnd that’s a proverb. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:20:08,160 –> 00:20:10,756
\nNow when we look at the proverbs
\nthemselves, come with me to <\/p>\n
333
\n00:20:10,756 –> 00:20:13,711
\nchapter 10 of Proverbs, where
\nthe proverbs that we typically <\/p>\n
334
\n00:20:13,711 –> 00:20:16,600
\nthink, oh, that’s the proverbs,
\nthese little couplets begin. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:20:17,760 –> 00:20:19,960
\nAnd we’re going to observe a few
\nthings about them. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:20:20,600 –> 00:20:25,380
\nProverbs chapter 10 and verse 1
\nto 2. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:20:25,780 –> 00:20:29,160
\nThe proverbs of Solomon.
\nA wise son makes a glad father, <\/p>\n
338
\n00:20:29,160 –> 00:20:32,180
\nbut a foolish son is the
\nheaviness of his mother. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:20:32,760 –> 00:20:35,966
\nTreasures of wickedness profit
\nnothing, but righteousness <\/p>\n
340
\n00:20:35,966 –> 00:20:38,689
\ndelivereth from death.
\nSo immediately we can see <\/p>\n
341
\n00:20:38,689 –> 00:20:41,020
\nsomething, can’t we?
\nThat they’re couplets. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:20:41,500 –> 00:20:44,819
\nThey’re parallelisms.
\nAnd they’re created by putting <\/p>\n
343
\n00:20:44,819 –> 00:20:47,600
\ntwo things together.
\nThat’s what the proverbs are. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:20:47,600 –> 00:20:50,280
\nThat’s how they’re structured
\nhere in chapter 10. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:20:51,320 –> 00:20:54,040
\nNow there are three types of
\nproverbs. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:20:54,980 –> 00:20:57,240
\nSo this next three slides, I’m
\ngoing to step you through. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:20:57,340 –> 00:20:58,800
\nAnd it’s really important to
\nunderstand. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:20:58,900 –> 00:21:02,210
\nThere are three types of
\nproverbs, but they’re all doing <\/p>\n
349
\n00:21:02,210 –> 00:21:05,720
\nthe same thing.
\nSo what is a proverb? <\/p>\n
350
\n00:21:05,880 –> 00:21:08,980
\nWhat’s this parallelism?
\nWhat’s this pair about? <\/p>\n
351
\n00:21:08,980 –> 00:21:11,596
\nAnd what I’m going to suggest to
\nyou, and then we’ll go through <\/p>\n
352
\n00:21:11,596 –> 00:21:15,240
\nthe evidence for it, is that
\neach of them is an illustration <\/p>\n
353
\n00:21:15,240 –> 00:21:17,720
\nof a basic building block of
\nthought. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:21:19,140 –> 00:21:22,752
\nIt goes right back to the
\nfoundation of all thinking, of <\/p>\n
355
\n00:21:22,752 –> 00:21:26,960
\nall thought, where you put two
\nthings together and create <\/p>\n
356
\n00:21:26,960 –> 00:21:30,766
\ncomprehension or understanding.
\nSo that’s what we’re being shown<\/p>\n
357
\n00:21:30,766 –> 00:21:33,354
\nhere.
\nIn its simplest form, we’ll be <\/p>\n
358
\n00:21:33,354 –> 00:21:37,300
\ngiven two ideas to associate,
\nand we’ll be able to bootstrap <\/p>\n
359
\n00:21:37,300 –> 00:21:40,260
\nour understanding and
\ncomprehension from it. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:21:40,260 –> 00:21:45,355
\nSo we’re being taught the
\nprocess here of knowledge and <\/p>\n
361
\n00:21:45,355 –> 00:21:47,900
\nunderstanding in very simple
\nways. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:21:48,420 –> 00:21:53,520
\nSo here’s the first style or
\ntype of proverb. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:21:54,520 –> 00:22:00,479
\nThe first I’ve called CC, and
\nit’s compare and contrast and <\/p>\n
364
\n00:22:00,479 –> 00:22:02,443
\nconsequence.
\nMaybe I should have called it <\/p>\n
365
\n00:22:02,443 –> 00:22:03,780
\nCCC.
\nBut you’ll see what I mean. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:22:03,860 –> 00:22:09,648
\nHere on Proverbs 10, verse 4,
\nthere are two things compared <\/p>\n
367
\n00:22:09,648 –> 00:22:14,354
\nand contrasted.
\nA wise son makes a glad father, <\/p>\n
368
\n00:22:14,354 –> 00:22:19,374
\nbut there’s our contrast.
\nA foolish son is the heaviness <\/p>\n
369
\n00:22:19,374 –> 00:22:23,178
\nof his mother.
\nSo there’s a contrast between <\/p>\n
370
\n00:22:23,178 –> 00:22:25,620
\ntwo things, and there’s a
\nconsequence. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:22:26,480 –> 00:22:31,080
\nGlad father, heavy mother.
\nProverbs 10, verse 4. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:22:31,080 –> 00:22:37,200
\nHe becometh poor that deals with
\na slack hand, but the hand of <\/p>\n
373
\n00:22:37,200 –> 00:22:40,120
\nthe diligent makes rich.
\nSee the process. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:22:40,280 –> 00:22:44,750
\nWe’re being asked to compare two
\nthings, notice that they are <\/p>\n
375
\n00:22:44,750 –> 00:22:46,780
\ndifferent, and infer some
\nconsequence. <\/p>\n
376
\n00:22:47,600 –> 00:22:49,240
\nSo that’s our first type of
\nproverb. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:22:49,340 –> 00:22:52,097
\nIn fact, most of the proverbs
\nare like this, and the giveaway <\/p>\n
378
\n00:22:52,097 –> 00:22:54,620
\nis it will have the word but in
\nthere normally. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:22:56,300 –> 00:22:59,225
\nThe second one does essentially
\nthe same process, but it’s a <\/p>\n
380
\n00:22:59,225 –> 00:23:00,980
\nlittle bit different.
\nHere it is. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:23:01,820 –> 00:23:05,800
\nThey are a contrast, and there’s
\na comparison. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:23:07,360 –> 00:23:12,700
\nThis works with this.
\nActually, I won’t go there yet. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:23:13,020 –> 00:23:16,060
\nI’ll go back and deal with this
\none particularly. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:23:17,120 –> 00:23:19,060
\nWe’ll dig into this a little bit
\nfurther. <\/p>\n
385
\n00:23:19,060 –> 00:23:19,720
\nAll right.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:23:19,780 –> 00:23:23,288
\nSo let’s stay with the we
\ncompare them, we contrast them, <\/p>\n
387
\n00:23:23,288 –> 00:23:26,718
\nand they are different.
\nAnd so there’s a contrast, and <\/p>\n
388
\n00:23:26,718 –> 00:23:29,260
\nthe point, the understanding is
\nbased on that contrast. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:23:29,380 –> 00:23:32,158
\nAnd we’re going to do a little
\nbit of an exercise to <\/p>\n
390
\n00:23:32,158 –> 00:23:35,209
\ndemonstrate that.
\nSo you should all have a <\/p>\n
391
\n00:23:35,209 –> 00:23:37,340
\nworksheet.
\nHopefully, anyone not got a <\/p>\n
392
\n00:23:37,340 –> 00:23:37,920
\nworksheet?
\nGreat. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:23:37,920 –> 00:23:43,293
\nSo on that worksheet, you’ve got
\nfour proverbs set out in little <\/p>\n
394
\n00:23:43,293 –> 00:23:46,068
\nboxes.
\nAnd what we’re going to do is <\/p>\n
395
\n00:23:46,068 –> 00:23:49,615
\nwe’re going to draw the proverb.
\nNow, this is a really neat thing<\/p>\n
396
\n00:23:49,615 –> 00:23:51,460
\nto do when it comes to unlocking
\nthe proverbs. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:23:51,560 –> 00:23:54,420
\nWe can do it with our children,
\nand it creates a visual. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:23:54,520 –> 00:23:58,365
\nNow, if you stop and think about
\nit, every proverb started in a <\/p>\n
399
\n00:23:58,365 –> 00:24:02,910
\nvisual and has been turned into
\nwords by the wise man, Solomon, <\/p>\n
400
\n00:24:02,910 –> 00:24:07,250
\nand written down for us.
\nSo what we’re doing is we’re <\/p>\n
401
\n00:24:07,250 –> 00:24:09,940
\ngoing to reverse the process and
\nturn it from the words back into<\/p>\n
402
\n00:24:09,940 –> 00:24:11,360
\nthe visual.
\nThat’s what we’re going to do. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:24:11,420 –> 00:24:14,860
\nIt’s a very powerful tool.
\nSo we’re going to draw this. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:24:15,300 –> 00:24:18,506
\nNow, as you do, so we’re going
\nto, in a moment, go to Proverbs <\/p>\n
405
\n00:24:18,506 –> 00:24:21,180
\n10, verse 4, so top right-hand
\nside of your sheet, where it’s, <\/p>\n
406
\n00:24:21,300 –> 00:24:24,705
\nHe becometh poor that dealeth
\nwith a slack hand, but the hand <\/p>\n
407
\n00:24:24,705 –> 00:24:27,100
\nof the diligent maketh rich.
\nSo we’re going to draw that. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:24:27,160 –> 00:24:30,494
\nYou’re going to draw that.
\nBut when you do, think about the<\/p>\n
409
\n00:24:30,494 –> 00:24:36,536
\nbase building blocks of thought.
\nAnd see if you can draw it in <\/p>\n
410
\n00:24:36,536 –> 00:24:40,084
\nterms of the times.
\nYou’ll see there’s a timeline <\/p>\n
411
\n00:24:40,084 –> 00:24:43,250
\nrunning through this.
\nYou’ll see there’s a choice <\/p>\n
412
\n00:24:43,250 –> 00:24:46,211
\npoint or inflection, and you’ll
\nsee there’s a consequential <\/p>\n
413
\n00:24:46,211 –> 00:24:48,450
\noutcome.
\nAll right, so these are little <\/p>\n
414
\n00:24:48,450 –> 00:24:50,896
\nsound bites where there’s a
\ntime, a choice, and a <\/p>\n
415
\n00:24:50,896 –> 00:24:53,168
\nconsequential outcome.
\nSo I’ll give you a moment to do <\/p>\n
416
\n00:24:53,168 –> 00:24:59,540
\nthat, to draw that.
\nAll right, we might stop there. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:24:59,540 –> 00:25:01,812
\nOtherwise, everyone will get
\ncarried away, and we’ll get some<\/p>\n
418
\n00:25:01,812 –> 00:25:03,800
\nelaborate pieces of art.
\nSo this will do. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:25:04,100 –> 00:25:06,420
\nThis is my attempt at drawing
\nit. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:25:06,920 –> 00:25:09,286
\nOkay?
\nSo what we’ve done is we’ve <\/p>\n
421
\n00:25:09,286 –> 00:25:13,457
\ntaken words.
\nWe’ve broken them into their <\/p>\n
422
\n00:25:13,457 –> 00:25:16,094
\npieces.
\nThen, A, to separate out <\/p>\n
423
\n00:25:16,094 –> 00:25:18,490
\nmentally.
\nWe’ve recreated the visual that <\/p>\n
424
\n00:25:18,490 –> 00:25:22,249
\nwas in the mind of the man
\nwisdom, and the wisdom that was <\/p>\n
425
\n00:25:22,249 –> 00:25:26,196
\nthe one who wrote the wisdom in
\nthe beginning, and recreated it <\/p>\n
426
\n00:25:26,196 –> 00:25:28,600
\nas the picture.
\nSo here’s mine. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:25:28,920 –> 00:25:33,792
\nThere’s the hand.
\nHere’s me at the top, my lazy <\/p>\n
428
\n00:25:33,792 –> 00:25:37,335
\nboy, slack.
\nAnd that’s my end, an empty box,<\/p>\n
429
\n00:25:37,335 –> 00:25:40,450
\npoor.
\nThis is Cindy down there with <\/p>\n
430
\n00:25:40,450 –> 00:25:42,100
\nthe wheelbarrow in the garden,
\ndiligent. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:25:44,360 –> 00:25:46,860
\nAnd she’s rich.
\nShe’s got all the dollars. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:25:47,100 –> 00:25:49,152
\nAll right?
\nSo that’s my representation of <\/p>\n
433
\n00:25:49,152 –> 00:25:51,798
\nthis parable.
\nNow, just notice that turning in<\/p>\n
434
\n00:25:51,798 –> 00:25:54,380
\na picture makes it far more
\nobvious, right? <\/p>\n
435
\n00:25:54,580 –> 00:25:57,290
\nSo it’s a really powerful tool
\nto come to unlock the Proverbs <\/p>\n
436
\n00:25:57,290 –> 00:25:59,260
\nand do it with your children.
\nIt’s great. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:25:59,460 –> 00:26:02,630
\nJust draw it.
\nAnd then you can start <\/p>\n
438
\n00:26:02,630 –> 00:26:03,960
\ndiscussing the implications of
\nthis. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:26:04,280 –> 00:26:09,446
\nBecause we’ve identified this
\ncore time, a choice, and <\/p>\n
440
\n00:26:09,446 –> 00:26:12,780
\nconsequences.
\nSo here I am going through life.<\/p>\n
441
\n00:26:13,040 –> 00:26:16,810
\nI hit a choice point.
\nI can choose to be slack, and if<\/p>\n
442
\n00:26:16,810 –> 00:26:20,577
\nI do, I’ll be poor.
\nI can choose to be diligent, and<\/p>\n
443
\n00:26:20,577 –> 00:26:23,240
\nif I do, there’s a consequence.
\nI will be rich. <\/p>\n
444
\n00:26:24,200 –> 00:26:27,437
\nAnd of course, the next layer is
\nwe can then make that a <\/p>\n
445
\n00:26:27,437 –> 00:26:30,780
\nspiritual concept and apply it.
\nBut you can see the base <\/p>\n
446
\n00:26:30,780 –> 00:26:32,738
\nbuilding block.
\nSo you can see what the Proverbs<\/p>\n
447
\n00:26:32,738 –> 00:26:34,976
\nare doing.
\nThey’re teaching us, with <\/p>\n
448
\n00:26:34,976 –> 00:26:37,640
\ntraining wheels, how to think
\nabout the Bible. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:26:38,160 –> 00:26:41,140
\nHow to compare two things and
\nsee that they’re contrasting and<\/p>\n
450
\n00:26:41,140 –> 00:26:43,960
\nthey’re different.
\nAnd then to learn a spiritual <\/p>\n
451
\n00:26:43,960 –> 00:26:47,180
\nprinciple or lesson from it.
\nAll right, let’s do another one.<\/p>\n
452
\n00:26:47,300 –> 00:26:51,844
\nTake your sheet, and we will do
\ntop left-hand side, Proverbs 13,<\/p>\n
453
\n00:26:51,844 –> 00:26:55,115
\nverse 20.
\nHe that walks with wise men <\/p>\n
454
\n00:26:55,115 –> 00:26:58,140
\nshall be wise, but a companion
\nof fools shall be destroyed. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:26:58,380 –> 00:27:00,180
\nSo I’ll give you a moment to
\ndraw that. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:27:02,240 –> 00:27:03,800
\nAll right, that should be enough
\ntime. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:27:04,160 –> 00:27:07,460
\nSo here again, here’s my piece
\nof spectacular artwork. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:27:07,600 –> 00:27:09,679
\nThere’s me.
\nAnd I’m walking through life, <\/p>\n
459
\n00:27:09,679 –> 00:27:11,940
\nand I’ve got a choice
\nconfronting me. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:27:13,400 –> 00:27:16,140
\nI can walk with the wise on the
\ntop there. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:27:16,720 –> 00:27:18,840
\nAnd if I do, there’s a
\nconsequential outcome. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:27:19,140 –> 00:27:22,945
\nI will be wise.
\nOr I can choose to walk with the<\/p>\n
463
\n00:27:22,945 –> 00:27:25,450
\nfools down there.
\nThey’re all doing foolish sort <\/p>\n
464
\n00:27:25,450 –> 00:27:28,660
\nof stuff.
\nAnd if I do, I’ll be destroyed. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:27:30,080 –> 00:27:32,240
\nRight now, you can do all of the
\nProverbs. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:27:32,520 –> 00:27:34,858
\nHundreds of them.
\nAll these brilliant little <\/p>\n
467
\n00:27:34,858 –> 00:27:38,404
\ncouplets, they’ve got this
\ncondensed concept or idea where <\/p>\n
468
\n00:27:38,404 –> 00:27:42,410
\ntwo things are compared.
\nThere’s a difference to them, so<\/p>\n
469
\n00:27:42,410 –> 00:27:45,016
\nthey’re contrasted.
\nThere’s a choice point, and <\/p>\n
470
\n00:27:45,016 –> 00:27:49,595
\nthere’s a consequential outcome.
\nSo that’s a powerful tool to <\/p>\n
471
\n00:27:49,595 –> 00:27:51,220
\nunlocking and understanding the
\nProverbs. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:27:51,220 –> 00:27:54,330
\nYou know, it’s also a brilliant
\nrepresentation of life, isn’t <\/p>\n
473
\n00:27:54,330 –> 00:27:57,678
\nit?
\nIt’s representing our life as we<\/p>\n
474
\n00:27:57,678 –> 00:28:00,680
\ngo through it, and we will be
\nconfronted with choice points. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:28:02,500 –> 00:28:05,920
\nAnd a wise person can observe,
\nin the moment of that choice <\/p>\n
476
\n00:28:05,920 –> 00:28:09,051
\npoint, what the issue and the
\nprinciple is, and choose the <\/p>\n
477
\n00:28:09,051 –> 00:28:11,876
\ngood and not the evil, and have
\nthe outcome of consequential <\/p>\n
478
\n00:28:11,876 –> 00:28:15,040
\ngood and not evil.
\nA fool will not. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:28:15,300 –> 00:28:18,939
\nWill go on and be punished.
\nSo it’s telling us that actually<\/p>\n
480
\n00:28:18,939 –> 00:28:21,620
\nthis is a representation of our
\nlife. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:28:21,800 –> 00:28:25,090
\nJust a series of thousands of
\nchoice points where we’re <\/p>\n
482
\n00:28:25,090 –> 00:28:27,720
\nconfronted with a choice between
\ngood and evil. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:28:28,420 –> 00:28:32,270
\nAnd the book of Proverbs, the
\nword of God, helps us get to a <\/p>\n
484
\n00:28:32,270 –> 00:28:35,684
\npoint, becoming wiser and wiser,
\nwhere we’re more effective at <\/p>\n
485
\n00:28:35,684 –> 00:28:38,780
\nunderstanding, perceiving in the
\nmoment, and making the choice. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:28:39,380 –> 00:28:41,100
\nSo that’s our first type of
\nproverb. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:28:41,840 –> 00:28:44,700
\nYou compare them, and they
\ncontrast. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:28:44,700 –> 00:28:48,740
\nBut there’s a next one.
\nA little bit different. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:28:49,720 –> 00:28:54,564
\nBut same sort of process.
\nSo this is the type of proverb <\/p>\n
490
\n00:28:54,564 –> 00:29:00,399
\nwhere there is a statement.
\nThere’s then an expansion of the<\/p>\n
491
\n00:29:00,399 –> 00:29:02,940
\nstatement, and then a statement
\nof consequence. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:29:02,940 –> 00:29:07,741
\nSo it’s actually the process of
\nknowledge, expansion to <\/p>\n
493
\n00:29:07,741 –> 00:29:11,995
\ncomprehension and wisdom.
\nIn these tiny little statements,<\/p>\n
494
\n00:29:11,995 –> 00:29:16,185
\nwe’ve got a mini microcosm of
\nthe process of knowledge, <\/p>\n
495
\n00:29:16,185 –> 00:29:18,580
\nunderstanding and wisdom.
\nWe’ll be given a statement. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:29:19,540 –> 00:29:24,220
\nWe’ll be given more information
\nby an extension of it. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:29:24,220 –> 00:29:28,342
\nWe increase our knowledge, which
\nwill be extended to <\/p>\n
498
\n00:29:28,342 –> 00:29:31,546
\ncomprehension, and then a
\npractical outcome or <\/p>\n
499
\n00:29:31,546 –> 00:29:33,520
\nconsequence, wisdom.
\nSo here’s two examples. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:29:34,140 –> 00:29:35,640
\nJust watch how the process
\noccurs. <\/p>\n
501
\n00:29:35,820 –> 00:29:38,440
\nHe that hideth hatred with lying
\nlips. <\/p>\n
502
\n00:29:38,500 –> 00:29:44,180
\nSo we’re given some knowledge.
\nAnd here’s the expansion of it. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:29:44,980 –> 00:29:48,275
\nThat utters a slander.
\nSo now we’ve got more <\/p>\n
504
\n00:29:48,275 –> 00:29:51,940
\ninformation, a bigger picture.
\nIs a form. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:29:52,260 –> 00:29:57,175
\nA consequential outcome.
\nAnd the implication, of course, <\/p>\n
506
\n00:29:57,175 –> 00:30:00,160
\nthat consequence is related to
\nthat behavior. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:30:00,620 –> 00:30:02,600
\nSecond one.
\nProverbs 12, verse 28. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:30:02,600 –> 00:30:06,360
\nIn the way of righteousness is
\nlife. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:30:06,460 –> 00:30:09,700
\nWe’re given a statement.
\nIt’s expanded. <\/p>\n
510
\n00:30:09,700 –> 00:30:15,480
\nAnd in the pathway thereof is
\nconsequence, no death. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:30:17,340 –> 00:30:20,726
\nIt’s brilliant, isn’t it?
\nIt’s a tiny little couplet and <\/p>\n
512
\n00:30:20,726 –> 00:30:23,246
\nstatement.
\nIt’s not a compare and contrast <\/p>\n
513
\n00:30:23,246 –> 00:30:26,552
\nnow.
\nIt’s a statement, expansion and <\/p>\n
514
\n00:30:26,552 –> 00:30:29,420
\nknowledge and understanding
\nthrough to consequence. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:30:29,940 –> 00:30:33,887
\nThere’s a whole lot of these.
\nBut it’s teaching us how to <\/p>\n
516
\n00:30:33,887 –> 00:30:38,897
\nthink about the process that God
\nuses to create knowledge, <\/p>\n
517
\n00:30:38,897 –> 00:30:42,874
\nunderstanding and wisdom.
\nIt’s our training wheels for the<\/p>\n
518
\n00:30:42,874 –> 00:30:50,387
\nrest of scripture.
\nHere’s some more complex <\/p>\n
519
\n00:30:50,387 –> 00:30:52,880
\nversions of those.
\nBut you’ll see the same process.<\/p>\n
520
\n00:30:53,860 –> 00:30:57,060
\nSomething’s stated.
\nSomething’s expanding on it. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:30:57,440 –> 00:31:01,480
\nAnd there’s a consequence.
\nProverbs 22, verse 22 to 23. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:31:01,660 –> 00:31:04,240
\nRob not the poor.
\nWe’re given a piece of <\/p>\n
523
\n00:31:04,240 –> 00:31:06,260
\nknowledge.
\nBecause he is poor. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:31:07,420 –> 00:31:10,209
\nNeither.
\nSo it increases and expands the <\/p>\n
525
\n00:31:10,209 –> 00:31:11,924
\nknowledge.
\nOppress the afflicted and the <\/p>\n
526
\n00:31:11,924 –> 00:31:13,970
\ngay.
\nNow we’ve got an expanded set of<\/p>\n
527
\n00:31:13,970 –> 00:31:15,960
\nknowledge and picture.
\nFor. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:31:16,600 –> 00:31:19,500
\nBecause.
\nYahweh will plead their cause. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:31:19,620 –> 00:31:21,860
\nAnd spoil the soul of those that
\nspoil. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:31:21,940 –> 00:31:25,620
\nAnd it’s the consequence.
\nIt’s a little bit more complex. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:31:25,760 –> 00:31:27,220
\nBut you see it’s the same
\nprocess. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:31:27,800 –> 00:31:29,920
\nWe’re gaining knowledge.
\nWe’re given more knowledge. <\/p>\n
533
\n00:31:30,000 –> 00:31:31,340
\nAnd it’s pushed through the
\nconsequence. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:31:31,500 –> 00:31:35,720
\nProverbs 22, verse 24 to 25.
\nMake no friendship with an angry<\/p>\n
535
\n00:31:35,720 –> 00:31:37,355
\nman.
\nSo we’re given a piece of <\/p>\n
536
\n00:31:37,355 –> 00:31:38,800
\nknowledge.
\nAnd. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:31:38,960 –> 00:31:41,770
\nIt will be extended.
\nWith a furious man thou shalt <\/p>\n
538
\n00:31:41,770 –> 00:31:43,360
\nnot go.
\nLest. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:31:44,500 –> 00:31:46,920
\nYou learn his ways.
\nAnd get a snare to those all. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:31:47,680 –> 00:31:49,640
\nSo there’s our second type of
\nproverb. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:31:50,840 –> 00:31:53,300
\nBut it’s still teaching us the
\nprocess. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:31:53,740 –> 00:31:55,660
\nOf knowing.
\nUnderstanding. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:31:56,120 –> 00:31:58,705
\nAnd of wisdom.
\nThe consequential practical <\/p>\n
544
\n00:31:58,705 –> 00:32:00,140
\noutcome.
\nOf the principle. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:32:00,520 –> 00:32:02,480
\nSo we’re being taught here in
\nthe proverbs. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:32:02,780 –> 00:32:06,480
\nIn baby steps really.
\nOf how to think about things. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:32:06,480 –> 00:32:08,830
\nAll right.
\nHere’s our third type of <\/p>\n
548
\n00:32:08,830 –> 00:32:09,980
\nproverb.
\nThis one. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:32:10,600 –> 00:32:14,207
\nJust ups the ante a little bit.
\nIt’s a little bit more <\/p>\n
550
\n00:32:14,207 –> 00:32:16,080
\ncomplicated.
\nBut it’s teaching us again. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:32:17,580 –> 00:32:21,440
\nThese ones leave us to complete.
\nA representation. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:32:22,060 –> 00:32:24,683
\nSo we’re going to take.
\nAll the ideas we’ve looked at so<\/p>\n
553
\n00:32:24,683 –> 00:32:26,680
\nfar.
\nAnd just extend it a little bit.<\/p>\n
554
\n00:32:27,520 –> 00:32:31,594
\nSo right back to baby Obadiah.
\nWho before he even learnt <\/p>\n
555
\n00:32:31,594 –> 00:32:33,500
\nlanguage.
\nWas comparing things. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:32:33,680 –> 00:32:36,080
\nAnd saying they were similar.
\nAnd some things were different. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:32:36,080 –> 00:32:37,740
\nAnd was creating this
\nincredible. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:32:37,920 –> 00:32:39,940
\nComplex mapping of the world
\naround him. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:32:39,980 –> 00:32:43,180
\nIn terms of his senses.
\nAnd will continue to do so. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:32:43,440 –> 00:32:45,120
\nUntil the process of
\ndevelopment. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:32:45,120 –> 00:32:47,840
\nOf language.
\nAnd ability to comprehend. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:32:48,960 –> 00:32:52,815
\nAnd have wisdom occurs.
\nWe’re taken through the same <\/p>\n
563
\n00:32:52,815 –> 00:32:55,370
\nprocess here.
\nSo these are what we would <\/p>\n
564
\n00:32:55,370 –> 00:32:57,640
\ntypically call.
\nSimiles or metaphors. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:32:58,200 –> 00:33:00,727
\nTwo things are compared.
\nBut they’re not different this <\/p>\n
566
\n00:33:00,727 –> 00:33:02,120
\ntime.
\nThey are similar. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:33:02,500 –> 00:33:05,340
\nThey are the same.
\nIn some respect. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:33:06,080 –> 00:33:09,180
\nAnd so one thing is used to
\nrepresent the other. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:33:09,700 –> 00:33:12,260
\nSo we have this idea of
\nrepresentation. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:33:12,760 –> 00:33:14,172
\nSo remember that.
\nBecause we’re going to start <\/p>\n
571
\n00:33:14,172 –> 00:33:15,904
\nusing it.
\nMore and more as we go through <\/p>\n
572
\n00:33:15,904 –> 00:33:18,560
\nthe rest of the session.
\nRepresentation. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:33:19,200 –> 00:33:21,440
\nTwo things are compared.
\nThere’s a similarity. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:33:21,700 –> 00:33:23,280
\nSo we use one to represent the
\nother. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:33:23,360 –> 00:33:25,400
\nThe basis of all simile and
\nmetaphor. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:33:25,580 –> 00:33:26,920
\nWe don’t even think twice about
\nit. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:33:26,940 –> 00:33:28,720
\nWe use it all the time.
\nEvery day. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:33:28,720 –> 00:33:30,874
\nIn our language.
\nBut what we’re doing is <\/p>\n
579
\n00:33:30,874 –> 00:33:31,620
\ncomparing.
\nSimilar. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:33:31,920 –> 00:33:33,520
\nOne thing represents.
\nSo here’s a few. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:33:34,300 –> 00:33:37,360
\nProverbs 26 verse 17.
\nHe that passes by. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:33:37,780 –> 00:33:40,420
\nAnd meddles with strife.
\nBelonging not to him. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:33:40,580 –> 00:33:42,740
\nSo there’s an idea.
\nIs like. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:33:42,820 –> 00:33:46,500
\nIt’s compared to.
\nOne who takes a dog by the ears.<\/p>\n
585
\n00:33:49,180 –> 00:33:52,280
\nWhy?
\nWell that’s up to you. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:33:53,280 –> 00:33:57,820
\nYou complete the representation.
\nWhat would happen if you. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:33:58,700 –> 00:34:01,970
\nTook a dog by the ears.
\nAnyone taken a dog by the ears <\/p>\n
588
\n00:34:01,970 –> 00:34:03,940
\nhere?
\nRight. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:34:04,440 –> 00:34:07,440
\nSo.
\nIf you take a dog by the ears. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:34:07,500 –> 00:34:09,540
\nHe doesn’t like it.
\nDogs don’t like being taken by. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:34:09,620 –> 00:34:12,139
\nMost dogs don’t.
\nAnd will react. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:34:12,280 –> 00:34:14,300
\nIf you took our dog by the ear.
\nA border collie. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:34:14,659 –> 00:34:19,572
\nIt will have a good nip at you.
\nWhat happens if you go and <\/p>\n
594
\n00:34:19,572 –> 00:34:21,592
\nmeddle.
\nIn strife that doesn’t belong to<\/p>\n
595
\n00:34:21,592 –> 00:34:23,000
\nyou.
\nAs you’re passing it by. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:34:23,000 –> 00:34:26,520
\nOh you’re going to have a
\nreaction. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:34:26,739 –> 00:34:30,407
\nLike the dog does.
\nYou’re probably going to get <\/p>\n
598
\n00:34:30,407 –> 00:34:31,639
\nsavage.
\nLike the dog might. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:34:33,120 –> 00:34:34,716
\nAlright.
\nSo it’s asking us to complete <\/p>\n
600
\n00:34:34,716 –> 00:34:35,580
\nthe idea.
\nBut again. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:34:35,639 –> 00:34:38,454
\nWe’re on training wheels here.
\nWe’re being taught the basics of<\/p>\n
602
\n00:34:38,454 –> 00:34:40,739
\nsimile and metaphor.
\nThe basics of comparison. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:34:40,920 –> 00:34:43,270
\nThey’re similar.
\nSo one thing represents the <\/p>\n
604
\n00:34:43,270 –> 00:34:45,659
\nother.
\nIt’s right back at baby Obadiah.<\/p>\n
605
\n00:34:45,719 –> 00:34:47,739
\nAs he began to create categories
\nof things. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:34:47,820 –> 00:34:49,860
\nOh that’s like that.
\nAnd it’s not like that. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:34:49,920 –> 00:34:52,158
\nAnd so that’s a category.
\nAnd later you would call it <\/p>\n
608
\n00:34:52,158 –> 00:34:53,780
\nanimals.
\nAnd that one fruit. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:34:54,320 –> 00:34:56,780
\nBut a fruit’s not an animal.
\nAnd an animal is not a fruit. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:34:57,340 –> 00:34:59,140
\nBut inside animals they’re all
\ndifferent too. <\/p>\n
611
\n00:34:59,280 –> 00:35:01,520
\nSo there are cow like ones.
\nAnd elephant like ones. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:35:01,620 –> 00:35:07,313
\nAnd so there’s this huge vast
\nweb of compare, contrast, <\/p>\n
613
\n00:35:07,313 –> 00:35:11,820
\ncompare, similar, represent.
\nProverbs chapter 24 verse 14. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:35:12,080 –> 00:35:15,413
\nWhoever boasts himself of a
\nfalse gift is like clouds and <\/p>\n
615
\n00:35:15,413 –> 00:35:17,504
\nwind without rain.
\nWhat two things are being <\/p>\n
616
\n00:35:17,504 –> 00:35:22,000
\ncompared here?
\nWell, a cloud that comes across.<\/p>\n
617
\n00:35:22,340 –> 00:35:24,060
\nYou think great.
\nIt’s going to rain on my garden.<\/p>\n
618
\n00:35:24,160 –> 00:35:28,880
\nAnd it doesn’t.
\nSo it’s a dashed expectation. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:35:30,100 –> 00:35:33,880
\nSomeone who boasts himself of a
\ngift but turns out to be false. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:35:34,340 –> 00:35:38,126
\nThere’s a dashed expectation.
\nAnd so we compare two things and<\/p>\n
621
\n00:35:38,126 –> 00:35:42,298
\nthey’re similar.
\nSo now clouds and wind without <\/p>\n
622
\n00:35:42,298 –> 00:35:48,040
\nrain can represent someone who
\nboasts and has a false gift. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:35:49,240 –> 00:35:53,664
\nWe use this all the time in our
\nlanguage as a basic principle of<\/p>\n
624
\n00:35:53,664 –> 00:35:56,017
\nrepresentation.
\nSo the book of Proverbs has a <\/p>\n
625
\n00:35:56,017 –> 00:35:59,509
\nwhole lot of these too because
\nit’s teaching us in these very <\/p>\n
626
\n00:35:59,509 –> 00:36:02,200
\nsimple little couplets.
\nOne thing compared to the other.<\/p>\n
627
\n00:36:02,900 –> 00:36:05,440
\nThey’re similar.
\nSo you use one thing to <\/p>\n
628
\n00:36:05,440 –> 00:36:07,540
\nrepresent another.
\nHere’s a few more. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:36:07,680 –> 00:36:10,180
\nI’ll just quickly run them
\nthrough on the screen. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:36:13,480 –> 00:36:15,620
\nHe that passes by.
\nWe’ve done that one. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:36:15,880 –> 00:36:19,280
\nChapter 31 verse 14.
\nIn the virtuous woman. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:36:19,420 –> 00:36:23,200
\nShe is like the merchant ship.
\nShe brings her food from far. <\/p>\n
633
\n00:36:23,200 –> 00:36:26,600
\nIs she a merchant ship?
\nShe’s like one. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:36:26,760 –> 00:36:29,260
\nIf you compare her to a merchant
\nship there’ll be a similarity. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:36:29,800 –> 00:36:32,240
\nSo a merchant ship can represent
\nher in an idea. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:36:33,200 –> 00:36:34,540
\nWell this one.
\nIt’s a good one isn’t it? <\/p>\n
637
\n00:36:34,600 –> 00:36:37,360
\nProverbs 26 verse 11.
\nAs a visual. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:36:37,460 –> 00:36:42,040
\nAs a dog returns to its vomit.
\nSo everyone’s seen a dog. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:36:44,160 –> 00:36:48,040
\nAnd then eats it back up.
\nDisgusting. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:36:49,280 –> 00:36:52,000
\nThat’s the visual.
\nDraw a picture of that. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:36:52,000 –> 00:36:54,820
\nBecause the man wisdom.
\nThe one who holds the wisdom <\/p>\n
642
\n00:36:54,820 –> 00:36:56,520
\nstrength.
\nRemember that visual. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:36:57,240 –> 00:37:00,740
\nWell that is like.
\nA fool who goes away. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:37:00,860 –> 00:37:02,360
\nVomits up his folly.
\nGoes away. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:37:02,460 –> 00:37:04,140
\nAnd comes back.
\nAnd eats it up again. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:37:05,140 –> 00:37:06,760
\nNo we don’t really have a
\nproblem with that. <\/p>\n
647
\n00:37:06,840 –> 00:37:07,740
\nDo we?
\nOh sorry. <\/p>\n
648
\n00:37:08,060 –> 00:37:11,080
\nWe don’t have a problem.
\nWe don’t have a problem with <\/p>\n
649
\n00:37:11,080 –> 00:37:14,340
\nunderstanding the metaphor.
\nWe have a problem with that. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:37:16,180 –> 00:37:18,480
\nSo it’s just.
\nIt’s natural for us. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:37:18,520 –> 00:37:20,720
\nWhy?
\nBecause from two months old. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:37:20,880 –> 00:37:23,307
\nBaby over die.
\nWe’ve been learning to compare <\/p>\n
653
\n00:37:23,307 –> 00:37:24,220
\nthings.
\nThey’re similar. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:37:24,420 –> 00:37:25,800
\nThey’re different.
\nIf they’re similar. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:37:26,020 –> 00:37:28,280
\nI can represent in terms of
\nanother thing. <\/p>\n
656
\n00:37:28,700 –> 00:37:30,900
\nSo the principle of simile and
\nmetaphor sits there. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:37:30,900 –> 00:37:32,640
\nAll right.
\nLet’s summarize. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:37:32,860 –> 00:37:33,780
\nBecause we’ve gone through a lot
\nhere. <\/p>\n
659
\n00:37:34,740 –> 00:37:42,660
\nWhat we’ve seen is that.
\nWhen we compare two things. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:37:43,400 –> 00:37:46,100
\nThey’re going to be similar.
\nIn one or more respects. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:37:46,700 –> 00:37:48,806
\nAnd if they are.
\nWe can represent one thing by <\/p>\n
662
\n00:37:48,806 –> 00:37:51,460
\nanother.
\nFoundation of simile. <\/p>\n
663
\n00:37:51,720 –> 00:37:53,740
\nAnd of metaphor.
\nAnd of analogy. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:37:53,740 –> 00:37:58,140
\nWe can compare things.
\nAnd they’re different. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:37:58,340 –> 00:38:01,060
\nSo we can contrast them.
\nAnd we can use it. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:38:02,400 –> 00:38:05,860
\nTo represent some comprehension.
\nOr understanding. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:38:07,020 –> 00:38:09,840
\nThat process.
\nIs the first step. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:38:10,460 –> 00:38:12,480
\nIn all thought and
\ncomprehension. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:38:12,680 –> 00:38:15,460
\nWhen a baby’s born.
\nIt’s God designed. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:38:16,180 –> 00:38:17,980
\nIt comes through our five
\nsenses. <\/p>\n
671
\n00:38:18,780 –> 00:38:21,260
\nAnd it’s the foundation.
\nFor all language. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:38:21,460 –> 00:38:24,640
\nAll words.
\nSo it’s a process. <\/p>\n
673
\n00:38:25,180 –> 00:38:28,960
\nThat God’s created.
\nAnd then he’s created his word. <\/p>\n
674
\n00:38:29,340 –> 00:38:31,220
\nHis language.
\nHis words. <\/p>\n
675
\n00:38:31,480 –> 00:38:33,100
\nThat are going to follow the
\nsame process. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:38:33,580 –> 00:38:38,080
\nSo that’s our takeaway.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:38:38,260 –> 00:38:40,100
\nLet’s take the training wheels
\noff a little bit. <\/p>\n
678
\n00:38:40,180 –> 00:38:41,740
\nActually we’ll leave them on.
\nBut we’ll just. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:38:42,880 –> 00:38:45,020
\nGive ourselves a little bit more
\nspace. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:38:45,260 –> 00:38:47,340
\nAnd we’re going to go beyond the
\nlittle couplets. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:38:47,340 –> 00:38:49,740
\nWhere the Proverbs is teaching
\nus the basics. <\/p>\n
682
\n00:38:50,440 –> 00:38:52,240
\nAnd we’re going to go through an
\nextended metaphor. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:38:52,780 –> 00:38:56,620
\nPsalm 1 verse 3.
\nNow we compare two things. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:38:57,180 –> 00:38:58,900
\nAnd there’s more than one
\nsimilarity. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:38:59,560 –> 00:39:02,020
\nA tree shall be plant.
\nHe. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:39:02,660 –> 00:39:04,100
\nA man.
\nThe righteous man. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:39:04,380 –> 00:39:06,420
\nShall be like.
\nNow it’s a comparison. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:39:07,520 –> 00:39:10,320
\nA tree.
\nPlanted by rivers of water. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:39:10,680 –> 00:39:12,920
\nThat bringeth forth his fruit in
\nseason. <\/p>\n
690
\n00:39:13,280 –> 00:39:16,307
\nAnd his leaf will not wither.
\nAnd whatever he does will <\/p>\n
691
\n00:39:16,307 –> 00:39:18,777
\nprosper.
\nAnd so we know what <\/p>\n
692
\n00:39:18,777 –> 00:39:19,600
\nunderstanding.
\nBenet is. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:39:19,660 –> 00:39:22,160
\nWe’re going to start mentally
\nseparating it into the pieces. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:39:22,320 –> 00:39:23,860
\nSo we’ve got a tree.
\nPlanted. <\/p>\n
695
\n00:39:24,220 –> 00:39:26,620
\nBy river water.
\nBrings forth fruit in season. <\/p>\n
696
\n00:39:26,780 –> 00:39:29,530
\nLeaf doesn’t wither.
\nAnd when we compare it to this <\/p>\n
697
\n00:39:29,530 –> 00:39:31,040
\nrighteous man.
\nThey’re a person. <\/p>\n
698
\n00:39:31,260 –> 00:39:34,040
\nWho’s established by God’s word.
\nFor good works. <\/p>\n
699
\n00:39:34,140 –> 00:39:37,060
\nAt an appropriate time.
\nAnd they receive eternal life. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:39:38,860 –> 00:39:40,340
\nDoes anyone have a problem with
\nthat? <\/p>\n
701
\n00:39:41,480 –> 00:39:43,580
\nPretty simple.
\nIt’s not. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:39:44,120 –> 00:39:46,960
\nIt’s complex.
\nBut you see. <\/p>\n
703
\n00:39:47,060 –> 00:39:48,260
\nOur brains.
\nOur minds. <\/p>\n
704
\n00:39:48,340 –> 00:39:51,300
\nHave been created by the father.
\nTo think like this. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:39:51,660 –> 00:39:54,440
\nSo we now have a complex.
\nAn extended metaphor. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:39:54,600 –> 00:39:56,440
\nAn extended similarity.
\nThe same process. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:39:56,580 –> 00:39:58,752
\nTwo things compared.
\nThey’re similar in multiple <\/p>\n
708
\n00:39:58,752 –> 00:40:01,100
\npoints.
\nSo one thing’s used to <\/p>\n
709
\n00:40:01,100 –> 00:40:02,720
\nrepresent.
\nAnother. <\/p>\n
710
\n00:40:04,840 –> 00:40:09,260
\nInteresting thing is that.
\nSorry. <\/p>\n
711
\n00:40:09,360 –> 00:40:11,680
\nI’ll just get through that.
\nParables. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:40:12,780 –> 00:40:15,140
\nAre a complex form.
\nOf a proverb. <\/p>\n
713
\n00:40:16,320 –> 00:40:18,620
\nSo in Matthew chapter 13.
\nVerse 34. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:40:18,920 –> 00:40:20,920
\nThe Lord Jesus Christ.
\nWe know of course. <\/p>\n
715
\n00:40:21,060 –> 00:40:24,703
\nSpoke in parables.
\nWe’re going to bring an extra <\/p>\n
716
\n00:40:24,703 –> 00:40:25,460
\nidea.
\nIn here. <\/p>\n
717
\n00:40:26,780 –> 00:40:29,020
\nIn a parable.
\nIn a proverb. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:40:29,020 –> 00:40:31,180
\nThere’s an element.
\nOf a hidden meaning. <\/p>\n
719
\n00:40:31,940 –> 00:40:34,020
\nIf you think about that.
\nThat’s because. <\/p>\n
720
\n00:40:35,020 –> 00:40:38,740
\nThey’re about understanding.
\nUnderstanding is about. <\/p>\n
721
\n00:40:39,260 –> 00:40:41,640
\nNot knowing something.
\nAnd then knowing it. <\/p>\n
722
\n00:40:41,740 –> 00:40:43,280
\nNot understanding.
\nThen understanding. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:40:43,460 –> 00:40:44,960
\nSo previously.
\nThere’s something hidden. <\/p>\n
724
\n00:40:45,040 –> 00:40:47,120
\nThen it’s not.
\nSo the idea of. <\/p>\n
725
\n00:40:47,440 –> 00:40:49,340
\nHiding meaning.
\nInside words. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:40:49,440 –> 00:40:51,040
\nIs fundamental.
\nTo the concept. <\/p>\n
727
\n00:40:51,140 –> 00:40:53,160
\nOf understanding.
\nAnd parables. <\/p>\n
728
\n00:40:53,320 –> 00:40:54,860
\nAre all about that.
\nSo this is what. <\/p>\n
729
\n00:40:55,320 –> 00:40:56,600
\nIt says in Matthew.
\nChapter 13. <\/p>\n
730
\n00:40:56,600 –> 00:40:58,660
\nVerse 34.
\nAll these things. <\/p>\n
731
\n00:40:58,840 –> 00:41:00,540
\nSpake Jesus.
\nTo the multitude. <\/p>\n
732
\n00:41:00,940 –> 00:41:04,980
\nIn parables.
\nAnd without a parable. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:41:05,220 –> 00:41:06,880
\nSpake he not.
\nUnto them. <\/p>\n
734
\n00:41:07,720 –> 00:41:09,940
\nThat it might be fulfilled.
\nWhich was spoken. <\/p>\n
735
\n00:41:09,940 –> 00:41:11,960
\nBy the prophet.
\nAnd he quotes. <\/p>\n
736
\n00:41:12,240 –> 00:41:13,620
\nPsalm 78.
\nVerse 2. <\/p>\n
737
\n00:41:14,100 –> 00:41:16,100
\nI will open my mouth.
\nIn parables. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:41:16,220 –> 00:41:17,380
\nBut that’s the Hebrew.
\nMarshall. <\/p>\n
739
\n00:41:17,540 –> 00:41:19,780
\nOur term proverb.
\nFrom Proverbs chapter 1. <\/p>\n
740
\n00:41:19,800 –> 00:41:22,400
\nVerse 1.
\nI will utter dark sayings. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:41:22,460 –> 00:41:24,620
\nOh that’s that phrase.
\nOut of Proverbs chapter 1. <\/p>\n
742
\n00:41:24,640 –> 00:41:26,020
\nVerse 6.
\nOur fifth statement. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:41:26,160 –> 00:41:27,940
\nThe dark sayings.
\nOf the old. <\/p>\n
744
\n00:41:28,000 –> 00:41:31,720
\nThe riddles of the old.
\nSo we’re being told here. <\/p>\n
745
\n00:41:31,720 –> 00:41:34,540
\nThat the parables.
\nOf the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
746
\n00:41:35,060 –> 00:41:37,820
\nAre in some way.
\nEquivalent to the Proverbs. <\/p>\n
747
\n00:41:39,420 –> 00:41:40,620
\nProverbs 1.
\nVerse 6. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:41:40,720 –> 00:41:42,500
\nTo understand a proverb.
\nA marshall. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:41:42,580 –> 00:41:44,040
\nThe interpretation.
\nThe words of the wise. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:41:44,100 –> 00:41:46,500
\nAnd their dark saying.
\nSo parables. <\/p>\n
751
\n00:41:47,020 –> 00:41:50,620
\nAre a complex form.
\nOf these proverbs. <\/p>\n
752
\n00:41:51,020 –> 00:41:53,920
\nNow let’s have a look at that.
\nAgain on screen. <\/p>\n
753
\n00:41:54,040 –> 00:41:56,960
\nSo it’s easy.
\nHere’s a parable. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:41:56,960 –> 00:42:00,300
\nAre we having two things
\ncompared. <\/p>\n
755
\n00:42:00,500 –> 00:42:02,800
\nAnd their like.
\nHe said. <\/p>\n
756
\n00:42:02,920 –> 00:42:06,880
\nWhereunto shall we liken.
\nThe kingdom of God. <\/p>\n
757
\n00:42:07,400 –> 00:42:11,580
\nWith what comparison.
\nShall we compare it. <\/p>\n
758
\n00:42:12,060 –> 00:42:15,080
\nNow the term parable.
\nLiterally means parabola. <\/p>\n
759
\n00:42:15,280 –> 00:42:17,740
\nTo cast beside an order to
\ncompare. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:42:17,980 –> 00:42:19,200
\nAlright.
\nSo that’s parabola. <\/p>\n
761
\n00:42:19,600 –> 00:42:21,140
\nSo I do casting something upon
\nanother. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:42:21,380 –> 00:42:22,980
\nSo you can contrast and compare
\nthem. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:42:23,300 –> 00:42:24,880
\nAnd because they’re similar.
\nThey can represent. <\/p>\n
764
\n00:42:24,880 –> 00:42:27,420
\nAmen.
\nThe kingdom of God. <\/p>\n
765
\n00:42:27,520 –> 00:42:29,360
\nVerse 31.
\nIs like. <\/p>\n
766
\n00:42:30,380 –> 00:42:33,017
\nA grain of mustard seed.
\nIt’s not actually a mustard <\/p>\n
767
\n00:42:33,017 –> 00:42:33,980
\nseed.
\nBut it is. <\/p>\n
768
\n00:42:34,400 –> 00:42:36,300
\nLike.
\nA grain of mustard seed. <\/p>\n
769
\n00:42:36,780 –> 00:42:39,164
\nWhich when it’s sown the earth.
\nIs less than all the seeds that <\/p>\n
770
\n00:42:39,164 –> 00:42:40,580
\nbe in the earth.
\nBut when it is sown. <\/p>\n
771
\n00:42:40,660 –> 00:42:42,549
\nIt groweth up.
\nAnd becomes greater than all the<\/p>\n
772
\n00:42:42,549 –> 00:42:44,220
\nherbs.
\nAnd shoots out great branches. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:42:44,580 –> 00:42:45,900
\nSo that the fowls there may
\nlodge. <\/p>\n
774
\n00:42:45,940 –> 00:42:47,860
\nUnder the shadow of it.
\nOf many such. <\/p>\n
775
\n00:42:48,440 –> 00:42:50,740
\nParables.
\nSpake he the word to them. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:42:50,800 –> 00:42:53,620
\nAs they were able to hear.
\nBut without a parable. <\/p>\n
777
\n00:42:53,800 –> 00:42:55,180
\nSpake he not to them.
\nWhen they alone. <\/p>\n
778
\n00:42:55,440 –> 00:42:57,400
\nHe expounded all these things.
\nDisciples. <\/p>\n
779
\n00:42:57,520 –> 00:43:00,060
\nSo.
\nThe process is the word. <\/p>\n
780
\n00:43:00,320 –> 00:43:06,440
\nAnd it’s revealing.
\nSo a proverb is about. <\/p>\n
781
\n00:43:06,800 –> 00:43:09,160
\nTwo states.
\nAnd a transition between. <\/p>\n
782
\n00:43:09,680 –> 00:43:12,540
\nNot understanding.
\nNow we are understanding. <\/p>\n
783
\n00:43:12,540 –> 00:43:15,680
\nThe seed.
\nSo the parable of the sower. <\/p>\n
784
\n00:43:16,680 –> 00:43:19,360
\nWhen they came and said.
\nWhy do you speak in parables? <\/p>\n
785
\n00:43:19,740 –> 00:43:21,780
\nHe says.
\nWell it’s given for you to know.<\/p>\n
786
\n00:43:21,960 –> 00:43:23,615
\nTo have knowledge.
\nAbout the mysteries of the <\/p>\n
787
\n00:43:23,615 –> 00:43:25,560
\nkingdom of God.
\nBut to others in parables. <\/p>\n
788
\n00:43:25,980 –> 00:43:27,960
\nThat seeing.
\nThey might not see. <\/p>\n
789
\n00:43:28,040 –> 00:43:29,320
\nAnd hearing.
\nThey might not understand. <\/p>\n
790
\n00:43:29,600 –> 00:43:31,460
\nThey can’t have the knowledge.
\nAnd understanding. <\/p>\n
791
\n00:43:31,600 –> 00:43:34,460
\nBut my parables are the vehicle.
\nBy which I’m imparting it. <\/p>\n
792
\n00:43:34,520 –> 00:43:36,780
\nHe said.
\nNow the parable is this. <\/p>\n
793
\n00:43:36,900 –> 00:43:38,200
\nAh.
\nThere’s an interpretation. <\/p>\n
794
\n00:43:39,460 –> 00:43:41,140
\nThe seed.
\nIs the word of God. <\/p>\n
795
\n00:43:41,140 –> 00:43:42,200
\nIt’s not.
\nBut it’s. <\/p>\n
796
\n00:43:42,740 –> 00:43:44,620
\nRepresented.
\nBecause when you compare them. <\/p>\n
797
\n00:43:44,880 –> 00:43:47,200
\nThey’re similar.
\nSo one can represent the other. <\/p>\n
798
\n00:43:47,960 –> 00:43:51,040
\nThose who are by the wayside.
\nAre they that hear. <\/p>\n
799
\n00:43:51,440 –> 00:43:54,592
\nThen comes the devil.
\nAnd takes away the word out of <\/p>\n
800
\n00:43:54,592 –> 00:43:56,420
\ntheir hands.
\nLest they should believe. <\/p>\n
801
\n00:43:56,540 –> 00:43:57,800
\nAnd be seen.
\nSee the process. <\/p>\n
802
\n00:43:57,880 –> 00:43:59,700
\nThat Christ’s going through.
\nThe building blocks. <\/p>\n
803
\n00:43:59,780 –> 00:44:01,500
\nThat he’s stacking up.
\nTo create comprehension. <\/p>\n
804
\n00:44:01,500 –> 00:44:04,660
\nSo the training wheels.
\nAre well off now aren’t we. <\/p>\n
805
\n00:44:04,700 –> 00:44:06,180
\nWe’ve moved out of the book of
\nproverbs. <\/p>\n
806
\n00:44:06,300 –> 00:44:08,880
\nThey’re not couplets anymore.
\nBut it’s following the same <\/p>\n
807
\n00:44:08,880 –> 00:44:10,300
\nprocess.
\nThat baby Abadiah. <\/p>\n
808
\n00:44:10,420 –> 00:44:11,840
\nLearned when he was two months
\nold. <\/p>\n
809
\n00:44:12,000 –> 00:44:16,400
\nFrom birth.
\nBut. <\/p>\n
810
\n00:44:17,720 –> 00:44:22,578
\nProverbs and parables.
\nAre just part of a much more <\/p>\n
811
\n00:44:22,578 –> 00:44:23,820
\ncomplex structure.
\nIn the scriptures. <\/p>\n
812
\n00:44:25,180 –> 00:44:28,880
\nStarts with basic symbols.
\nSimple metaphors and simile. <\/p>\n
813
\n00:44:29,000 –> 00:44:30,400
\nWe’ve seen in the book of
\nproverbs. <\/p>\n
814
\n00:44:30,400 –> 00:44:32,920
\nThey’re stuck together.
\nTo create proverbs. <\/p>\n
815
\n00:44:32,920 –> 00:44:34,620
\nAnd types.
\nAnd parables. <\/p>\n
816
\n00:44:35,060 –> 00:44:37,780
\nThen we have type patterns.
\nWhere entire narrative stories. <\/p>\n
817
\n00:44:37,940 –> 00:44:40,100
\nMapped to something else.
\nAnd all their similarities. <\/p>\n
818
\n00:44:40,840 –> 00:44:42,320
\nThen there are visions and
\ndreams. <\/p>\n
819
\n00:44:42,480 –> 00:44:44,660
\nWhere you’re released.
\nFrom the natural restraints. <\/p>\n
820
\n00:44:44,660 –> 00:44:47,200
\nOf the physical world.
\nAnd have fantastical things <\/p>\n
821
\n00:44:47,200 –> 00:44:48,900
\ngoing.
\nLike dragons and stars. <\/p>\n
822
\n00:44:48,900 –> 00:44:51,776
\nBorn within the sky.
\nBut the dimensions of <\/p>\n
823
\n00:44:51,776 –> 00:44:53,400
\nrepresentation.
\nAre much higher. <\/p>\n
824
\n00:44:53,800 –> 00:44:56,600
\nBefore you get to master types.
\nAnd thematic structures. <\/p>\n
825
\n00:44:56,600 –> 00:44:58,880
\nThat begin in Genesis.
\nAnd finish in Revelation. <\/p>\n
826
\n00:44:58,880 –> 00:45:03,180
\nSo the book of proverbs.
\nIs teaching us. <\/p>\n
827
\n00:45:03,600 –> 00:45:06,600
\nThe very start.
\nOf the way God thinks. <\/p>\n
828
\n00:45:06,700 –> 00:45:08,340
\nAnd presents his thoughts.
\nIn the scripture. <\/p>\n
829
\n00:45:09,060 –> 00:45:11,560
\nYou know.
\nWhen we get to the revelation. <\/p>\n
830
\n00:45:12,000 –> 00:45:15,200
\nLook at this. 18 symbols and
\nmetaphors. <\/p>\n
831
\n00:45:15,520 –> 00:45:17,500
\nCascade out of the statement.
\nI saw a woman. <\/p>\n
832
\n00:45:17,640 –> 00:45:20,280
\nSit on a scarlet colored beast.
\nFull of names of blasphemy. <\/p>\n
833
\n00:45:20,360 –> 00:45:21,900
\nHaving seven heads.
\nAnd ten horns. <\/p>\n
834
\n00:45:22,300 –> 00:45:24,300
\nThe woman was arrayed.
\nIn purple and scarlet colored. <\/p>\n
835
\n00:45:24,400 –> 00:45:25,760
\nDepped with gold and precious
\nstones. <\/p>\n
836
\n00:45:25,840 –> 00:45:27,680
\nAnd pearls.
\nA golden cup in her hand. <\/p>\n
837
\n00:45:27,740 –> 00:45:29,844
\nFull of abominations.
\nAnd filthiness of her <\/p>\n
838
\n00:45:29,844 –> 00:45:30,880
\nfornication.
\nOn her forehead. <\/p>\n
839
\n00:45:31,000 –> 00:45:32,320
\nWas a name written.
\nMystery. <\/p>\n
840
\n00:45:32,580 –> 00:45:34,020
\nBabylon great.
\nMother of hearts. <\/p>\n
841
\n00:45:34,280 –> 00:45:37,160
\nAbominations of the earth. 18
\nsymbol and metaphors. <\/p>\n
842
\n00:45:37,240 –> 00:45:39,680
\nIn an avalanche.
\nIn the book of revealing. <\/p>\n
843
\n00:45:39,880 –> 00:45:42,640
\nRevelation.
\nThe book of proverbs. <\/p>\n
844
\n00:45:42,940 –> 00:45:46,440
\nIs where we learn.
\nHow this process operates. <\/p>\n
845
\n00:45:48,000 –> 00:45:50,160
\nThe whole of proverbs.
\nIs like that. <\/p>\n
846
\n00:45:54,220 –> 00:45:58,140
\nIt doesn’t end there.
\nWhen we look at this process. <\/p>\n
847
\n00:45:58,520 –> 00:46:02,290
\nWe discover that all language.
\nIs fundamentally about <\/p>\n
848
\n00:46:02,290 –> 00:46:03,820
\nrepresentation.
\nOf the physical world. <\/p>\n
849
\n00:46:03,880 –> 00:46:05,800
\nAnd symbols.
\nSounds and words. <\/p>\n
850
\n00:46:06,600 –> 00:46:09,220
\nMathematics is a representation.
\nOf a physical world. <\/p>\n
851
\n00:46:09,240 –> 00:46:10,540
\nOf numbers.
\nArt. <\/p>\n
852
\n00:46:10,640 –> 00:46:12,680
\nIs a representation.
\nOf a physical world. <\/p>\n
853
\n00:46:12,780 –> 00:46:15,480
\nIn terms of our five senses.
\nPeople play around. <\/p>\n
854
\n00:46:15,560 –> 00:46:17,820
\nWith minimalization.
\nOr minimal art. <\/p>\n
855
\n00:46:19,720 –> 00:46:21,460
\nWhere.
\nWhat sort of picture. <\/p>\n
856
\n00:46:21,620 –> 00:46:23,540
\nCould you create.
\nThat’s got the smallest. <\/p>\n
857
\n00:46:23,540 –> 00:46:26,260
\nAmount of representation.
\nThat you just see. <\/p>\n
858
\n00:46:26,340 –> 00:46:29,240
\nIt represents it.
\nIt’s a minimalist art. <\/p>\n
859
\n00:46:29,880 –> 00:46:31,600
\nAll the abstractions.
\nOf love. <\/p>\n
860
\n00:46:31,660 –> 00:46:32,460
\nAnd hate.
\nAnd hope. <\/p>\n
861
\n00:46:32,520 –> 00:46:33,840
\nAnd faith.
\nThat we can’t touch. <\/p>\n
862
\n00:46:33,880 –> 00:46:35,820
\nAnd feel.
\nAre dealt with. <\/p>\n
863
\n00:46:35,860 –> 00:46:37,420
\nIn terms of representation.
\nRepentation. <\/p>\n
864
\n00:46:40,420 –> 00:46:43,100
\nSo it’s an idea.
\nIt’s the way God created. <\/p>\n
865
\n00:46:43,480 –> 00:46:45,780
\nEverything.
\nAnd why did he do that? <\/p>\n
866
\n00:46:48,580 –> 00:46:51,380
\nBecause it’s the glory of God.
\nTo conceal a thing. <\/p>\n
867
\n00:46:51,460 –> 00:46:52,380
\nNow that word is.
\nDoba. <\/p>\n
868
\n00:46:52,680 –> 00:46:54,320
\nIt’s a word.
\nNormally translated word. <\/p>\n
869
\n00:46:54,400 –> 00:46:56,540
\nThe word of God.
\nIt’s the glory of God. <\/p>\n
870
\n00:46:56,540 –> 00:46:58,860
\nTo do this.
\nTo conceal his word. <\/p>\n
871
\n00:46:59,580 –> 00:47:02,500
\nBut it’s our honor.
\nTo search it out. <\/p>\n
872
\n00:47:03,300 –> 00:47:05,380
\nThat’s why he’s done it.
\nBecause it’s the way. <\/p>\n
873
\n00:47:05,480 –> 00:47:07,420
\nHe’s created the world.
\nIt’s the way. <\/p>\n
874
\n00:47:07,760 –> 00:47:12,700
\nHe thinks.
\nI’m going to jump over. <\/p>\n
875
\n00:47:12,780 –> 00:47:15,860
\nThe next slide.
\nBut I’ll just tell you. <\/p>\n
876
\n00:47:16,300 –> 00:47:17,820
\nThe point.
\nI was going to make. <\/p>\n
877
\n00:47:17,940 –> 00:47:20,040
\nFrom here.
\nFirst Corinthians. <\/p>\n
878
\n00:47:20,200 –> 00:47:21,800
\nChapter 15.
\nPaul deals with. <\/p>\n
879
\n00:47:21,900 –> 00:47:24,660
\nA highly complex metaphor.
\nWith multiple representations. <\/p>\n
880
\n00:47:24,880 –> 00:47:26,660
\nAnd comparisons.
\nBetween the first man. <\/p>\n
881
\n00:47:26,720 –> 00:47:27,920
\nAdam.
\nAnd the last man. <\/p>\n
882
\n00:47:28,000 –> 00:47:29,240
\nAdam.
\nBut he makes a point. <\/p>\n
883
\n00:47:30,240 –> 00:47:32,360
\nThat was not.
\nFirst which was spiritual. <\/p>\n
884
\n00:47:32,360 –> 00:47:34,500
\nBut that which is natural.
\nThat is the physical. <\/p>\n
885
\n00:47:34,660 –> 00:47:36,480
\nCreator material world.
\nAnd afterward. <\/p>\n
886
\n00:47:36,640 –> 00:47:38,500
\nThat which is spiritual.
\nPneumaticus. <\/p>\n
887
\n00:47:38,580 –> 00:47:41,280
\nThe breath of air.
\nThe things which are invisible. <\/p>\n
888
\n00:47:42,280 –> 00:47:45,060
\nSo God explains to us.
\nThe invisible things. <\/p>\n
889
\n00:47:45,060 –> 00:47:46,720
\nOf creation.
\nOf himself. <\/p>\n
890
\n00:47:46,880 –> 00:47:48,920
\nAnd his abstractions.
\nAnd his characteristics. <\/p>\n
891
\n00:47:49,120 –> 00:47:51,340
\nAnd his purpose.
\nThrough representations. <\/p>\n
892
\n00:47:51,780 –> 00:47:54,020
\nIn the physical world.
\nSo take that point away. <\/p>\n
893
\n00:47:54,500 –> 00:47:56,700
\nIf that didn’t make sense.
\nBecause it almost didn’t to me. <\/p>\n
894
\n00:47:57,080 –> 00:47:59,400
\nAnd I said it.
\nCome and see me afterwards. <\/p>\n
895
\n00:48:01,060 –> 00:48:02,180
\nAlright.
\nSo here’s the summary. <\/p>\n
896
\n00:48:02,360 –> 00:48:05,120
\nAnd we’re going to have to race.
\nAnd I’m going to. <\/p>\n
897
\n00:48:05,120 –> 00:48:07,460
\nPlease have.
\nCan I have five extra minutes. <\/p>\n
898
\n00:48:07,460 –> 00:48:09,300
\nAt the end.
\nJust to complete this. <\/p>\n
899
\n00:48:09,620 –> 00:48:12,060
\nBefore our heads go.
\nAlright. <\/p>\n
900
\n00:48:12,180 –> 00:48:14,220
\nSo this is what we’ve learned.
\nProverbs are words. <\/p>\n
901
\n00:48:14,560 –> 00:48:16,560
\nThey have meanings.
\nBetween contrasts. <\/p>\n
902
\n00:48:17,240 –> 00:48:18,500
\nSimiles.
\nParables. <\/p>\n
903
\n00:48:18,620 –> 00:48:19,740
\nAversions.
\nOf proverbs. <\/p>\n
904
\n00:48:20,000 –> 00:48:21,920
\nThey all rely on the same
\nprinciple. <\/p>\n
905
\n00:48:22,000 –> 00:48:24,580
\nOf representation.
\nYou compare two things. <\/p>\n
906
\n00:48:24,640 –> 00:48:26,680
\nThey’re similar.
\nSo you can represent one with <\/p>\n
907
\n00:48:26,680 –> 00:48:28,360
\nthe other.
\nYou compare two things. <\/p>\n
908
\n00:48:28,440 –> 00:48:30,720
\nThey’re dissimilar.
\nSo you contrast them. <\/p>\n
909
\n00:48:30,720 –> 00:48:34,160
\nAnd in that process.
\nIs hidden understanding. <\/p>\n
910
\n00:48:34,560 –> 00:48:37,140
\nAnd seeing it.
\nIs the process of comprehension.<\/p>\n
911
\n00:48:37,340 –> 00:48:38,880
\nAnd understanding.
\nThe book of Proverbs. <\/p>\n
912
\n00:48:39,000 –> 00:48:42,000
\nIs a training ground.
\nThat’s where we’re being taught.<\/p>\n
913
\n00:48:42,100 –> 00:48:44,260
\nIn these little simple couplets.
\nTo know. <\/p>\n
914
\n00:48:44,760 –> 00:48:47,140
\nUnderstand.
\nPerceive consequential wisdom. <\/p>\n
915
\n00:48:47,140 –> 00:48:49,580
\nAnd outcomes.
\nPutting into practice. <\/p>\n
916
\n00:48:49,580 –> 00:48:52,140
\nAnd we’re being taught.
\nHow to understand. <\/p>\n
917
\n00:48:52,340 –> 00:48:54,080
\nAnd approach.
\nThe word of God. <\/p>\n
918
\n00:48:54,240 –> 00:48:56,020
\nBecause he created.
\nBabies. <\/p>\n
919
\n00:48:56,420 –> 00:48:58,180
\nAnd humans.
\nTo think like this. <\/p>\n
920
\n00:48:58,620 –> 00:49:00,820
\nAnd he represented it.
\nIn his scripture. <\/p>\n
921
\n00:49:01,120 –> 00:49:02,940
\nLike this.
\nBecause this. <\/p>\n
922
\n00:49:03,160 –> 00:49:04,660
\nIs the mind.
\nOf the spirit. <\/p>\n
923
\n00:49:05,000 –> 00:49:06,300
\nIt’s his own way.
\nOf thinking. <\/p>\n
924
\n00:49:06,900 –> 00:49:10,000
\nIt’s how he thinks.
\nHow he designed us. <\/p>\n
925
\n00:49:10,080 –> 00:49:12,160
\nTo think.
\nIt’s his glory. <\/p>\n
926
\n00:49:12,340 –> 00:49:14,420
\nTo do this.
\nAnd it’s our honor. <\/p>\n
927
\n00:49:14,540 –> 00:49:16,300
\nTo search it out.
\nIt’s hidden. <\/p>\n
928
\n00:49:16,560 –> 00:49:18,840
\nAnd then revealed.
\nAs the process. <\/p>\n
929
\n00:49:19,040 –> 00:49:20,940
\nOf knowing.
\nUnderstanding. <\/p>\n
930
\n00:49:20,940 –> 00:49:23,520
\nAnd then manifesting.
\nIn his principles. <\/p>\n
931
\n00:49:23,840 –> 00:49:27,000
\nIn the world around us.
\nAnd we use this process. <\/p>\n
932
\n00:49:27,260 –> 00:49:29,360
\nIn every doctrine.
\nAnd belief we hold. <\/p>\n
933
\n00:49:30,400 –> 00:49:32,520
\nWe do it every week.
\nWhen we take. <\/p>\n
934
\n00:49:33,180 –> 00:49:34,880
\nThe emblems.
\nOf the bread and wine. <\/p>\n
935
\n00:49:35,580 –> 00:49:38,100
\nThey represent.
\nThe body. <\/p>\n
936
\n00:49:38,260 –> 00:49:39,220
\nAnd blood.
\nOf the life. <\/p>\n
937
\n00:49:39,440 –> 00:49:40,700
\nLord.
\nPrinciples. <\/p>\n
938
\n00:49:40,820 –> 00:49:43,120
\nRepresenting his life.
\nWe talk. <\/p>\n
939
\n00:49:43,240 –> 00:49:45,040
\nLike this.
\nWhenever we talk. <\/p>\n
940
\n00:49:45,360 –> 00:49:47,600
\nAbout a bible concept.
\nIt’s the way. <\/p>\n
941
\n00:49:47,660 –> 00:49:48,780
\nThe scriptures.
\nCreated. <\/p>\n
942
\n00:49:52,080 –> 00:49:54,020
\nI’m not going to do this.
\nWe were going to do. <\/p>\n
943
\n00:49:54,100 –> 00:49:56,300
\nA little representation.
\nBreathing exercise. <\/p>\n
944
\n00:49:56,560 –> 00:49:57,680
\nBut we don’t have time.
\nSo. <\/p>\n
945
\n00:49:58,580 –> 00:50:01,100
\nTake a deep breath.
\nAlright. <\/p>\n
946
\n00:50:01,780 –> 00:50:03,540
\nTraining wheels.
\nAre well off now. <\/p>\n
947
\n00:50:04,260 –> 00:50:05,760
\nAnd we’re going to take.
\nAll this back. <\/p>\n
948
\n00:50:05,800 –> 00:50:07,580
\nInto the book of proverbs.
\nAnd ask the question. <\/p>\n
949
\n00:50:07,720 –> 00:50:10,520
\nWho’s the woman wisdom?
\nBecause she’s a. <\/p>\n
950
\n00:50:11,140 –> 00:50:13,440
\nRepresentation.
\nYou compare her. <\/p>\n
951
\n00:50:13,480 –> 00:50:14,880
\nTo something else.
\nShe’s similar. <\/p>\n
952
\n00:50:14,880 –> 00:50:16,560
\nAnd she comes.
\nTo represent her. <\/p>\n
953
\n00:50:17,460 –> 00:50:21,040
\nSo.
\nBuckle up your seatbelts. <\/p>\n
954
\n00:50:21,120 –> 00:50:22,580
\nWe’re going to go.
\nReal fast here. <\/p>\n
955
\n00:50:23,460 –> 00:50:24,820
\nAnd what I hope to do.
\nIs just. <\/p>\n
956
\n00:50:25,080 –> 00:50:26,560
\nOpen up a little bit.
\nFor a glimpse. <\/p>\n
957
\n00:50:26,680 –> 00:50:28,740
\nAnd you’ll see.
\nThe incredible complexity. <\/p>\n
958
\n00:50:29,200 –> 00:50:31,080
\nAnd dynamism.
\nOf the representation. <\/p>\n
959
\n00:50:32,980 –> 00:50:35,360
\nOf God’s knowledge.
\nUnderstanding wisdom. <\/p>\n
960
\n00:50:35,540 –> 00:50:36,540
\nIn this one.
\nWisdom. <\/p>\n
961
\n00:50:36,660 –> 00:50:38,080
\nSo.
\nHere’s the first thing to know. <\/p>\n
962
\n00:50:38,860 –> 00:50:40,800
\nWisdom is represented.
\nAs a woman. <\/p>\n
963
\n00:50:40,920 –> 00:50:43,000
\nIn the book of proverbs.
\nProverbs 1 verse 20. <\/p>\n
964
\n00:50:43,100 –> 00:50:45,380
\nWisdom cries without.
\nShe utters her voice. <\/p>\n
965
\n00:50:45,460 –> 00:50:47,700
\nIn the streets.
\nProverbs 2 verse 2 to 3. <\/p>\n
966
\n00:50:48,020 –> 00:50:50,160
\nIncline thine ear to wisdom.
\nAnd apply in the heart. <\/p>\n
967
\n00:50:50,220 –> 00:50:52,020
\nTo understanding.
\nIf you cry after knowledge. <\/p>\n
968
\n00:50:52,140 –> 00:50:53,340
\nLift up your voice.
\nFor understanding. <\/p>\n
969
\n00:50:53,400 –> 00:50:55,060
\nIf you seek.
\nHer as silver. <\/p>\n
970
\n00:50:55,240 –> 00:50:57,140
\nSearch for her.
\nAs for her treasures. <\/p>\n
971
\n00:50:57,560 –> 00:50:59,740
\nProverbs chapter 7 verse 4.
\nSay to wisdom. <\/p>\n
972
\n00:50:59,840 –> 00:51:01,900
\nYou are my sister.
\nCall understanding. <\/p>\n
973
\n00:51:02,020 –> 00:51:04,660
\nYour king’s woman.
\nProverbs 8 verse 1. <\/p>\n
974
\n00:51:04,800 –> 00:51:06,820
\nDoes not wisdom cry.
\nUnderstanding put forth. <\/p>\n
975
\n00:51:07,060 –> 00:51:09,000
\nHer voice.
\nProverbs 9 verse 1. <\/p>\n
976
\n00:51:09,120 –> 00:51:10,680
\nWisdom’s builder.
\nHer house. <\/p>\n
977
\n00:51:11,000 –> 00:51:12,860
\nShe’s hewn out.
\nHer seven pillars. <\/p>\n
978
\n00:51:12,860 –> 00:51:15,240
\nSo mental note.
\nShe’s represented. <\/p>\n
979
\n00:51:15,380 –> 00:51:17,340
\nAs a woman.
\nIn the book of proverbs. <\/p>\n
980
\n00:51:17,820 –> 00:51:19,100
\nOr a woman.
\nIs representing. <\/p>\n
981
\n00:51:19,600 –> 00:51:21,740
\nHer.
\nSecond. <\/p>\n
982
\n00:51:21,840 –> 00:51:24,960
\nThere’s a lot of text here.
\nWhere wisdom. <\/p>\n
983
\n00:51:25,120 –> 00:51:26,120
\nIs represented.
\nA woman. <\/p>\n
984
\n00:51:26,320 –> 00:51:29,480
\nChapter 1 verse 20. 33.
\nShe is a cry. <\/p>\n
985
\n00:51:29,560 –> 00:51:31,380
\nInto the city.
\nThat is unheeded. <\/p>\n
986
\n00:51:31,600 –> 00:51:33,600
\nAnd the council.
\nIs not listened to. <\/p>\n
987
\n00:51:33,700 –> 00:51:35,280
\nAnd destruction.
\nComes on the city. <\/p>\n
988
\n00:51:36,020 –> 00:51:37,480
\nAnd at the end.
\nShe laughs. <\/p>\n
989
\n00:51:37,480 –> 00:51:38,800
\nAt them.
\nFor not. <\/p>\n
990
\n00:51:39,140 –> 00:51:42,020
\nListening.
\nChapter 3 verse 13. <\/p>\n
991
\n00:51:42,120 –> 00:51:43,780
\nTo 18.
\nThere’s an immense. <\/p>\n
992
\n00:51:43,900 –> 00:51:45,420
\nComparative value.
\nOf wisdom. <\/p>\n
993
\n00:51:45,540 –> 00:51:46,780
\nThan kid.
\nAnything else. <\/p>\n
994
\n00:51:46,900 –> 00:51:48,080
\nBut it’s couched.
\nIn terms. <\/p>\n
995
\n00:51:48,640 –> 00:51:50,840
\nOf a woman.

\nTo knowledge.
\nUnderstanding wisdom. <\/p>\n
998
\n00:51:54,560 –> 00:51:56,080
\nIs in a picture.
\nA representation. <\/p>\n
999
\n00:51:56,340 –> 00:51:57,720
\nOf being married.
\nTo it. <\/p>\n
1000
\n00:51:58,180 –> 00:51:59,560
\nThe wife.
\nOf our youth. <\/p>\n
1001
\n00:52:00,300 –> 00:52:01,220
\nIn chapter 8.
\nVerse 1. <\/p>\n
1002
\n00:52:01,280 –> 00:52:03,180
\nTo 20.
\nThere’s another cry. <\/p>\n
1003
\n00:52:03,320 –> 00:52:05,260
\nInto the city.
\nWhere there’s an instruction. <\/p>\n
1004
\n00:52:05,440 –> 00:52:06,380
\nFor Ish.
\nThe men. <\/p>\n
1005
\n00:52:06,480 –> 00:52:07,520
\nAnd bed Adam.
\nThe children. <\/p>\n
1006
\n00:52:07,640 –> 00:52:08,840
\nMen.
\nTo listen. <\/p>\n
1007
\n00:52:09,040 –> 00:52:10,560
\nTo knowledge.
\nAnd understanding wisdom. <\/p>\n
1008
\n00:52:10,980 –> 00:52:12,160
\nIn chapter 8.
\nVerse 21. <\/p>\n
1009
\n00:52:12,240 –> 00:52:13,700
\nTo 32.
\nWisdom. <\/p>\n
1010
\n00:52:13,780 –> 00:52:14,680
\nWas there.
\nBefore. <\/p>\n
1011
\n00:52:14,860 –> 00:52:16,100
\nAnd in.
\nAnd founded. <\/p>\n
1012
\n00:52:16,660 –> 00:52:18,220
\nIn the creation.
\nOf God. <\/p>\n
1013
\n00:52:18,560 –> 00:52:20,920
\nRight at the beginning.
\nChapter 9. <\/p>\n
1014
\n00:52:20,960 –> 00:52:21,860
\nVerse 1.
\nTo 12. <\/p>\n
1015
\n00:52:21,860 –> 00:52:24,540
\nThere is an invitation.
\nTo come to wisdom’s table. <\/p>\n
1016
\n00:52:24,660 –> 00:52:25,500
\nAnd finally.
\nOf course. <\/p>\n
1017
\n00:52:25,900 –> 00:52:27,340
\nWell loved.
\nWell known. <\/p>\n
1018
\n00:52:27,560 –> 00:52:29,700
\nChapter 31.
\nThe virtuous woman. <\/p>\n
1019
\n00:52:29,900 –> 00:52:32,960
\nBut what’s hidden.
\nIn the representation. <\/p>\n
1020
\n00:52:33,860 –> 00:52:39,420
\nWhat’s the understanding.
\nWell the first thing to know. <\/p>\n
1021
\n00:52:40,260 –> 00:52:42,420
\nIs all of this wisdom.
\nIs from God. <\/p>\n
1022
\n00:52:42,540 –> 00:52:44,240
\nIt’s Yahweh’s.
\nIt comes from him. <\/p>\n
1023
\n00:52:44,520 –> 00:52:47,160
\nIn the first instance.
\nWe see this. <\/p>\n
1024
\n00:52:47,200 –> 00:52:48,600
\nIn Proverbs chapter 2.
\nVerse 5. <\/p>\n
1025
\n00:52:48,600 –> 00:52:51,140
\nThen you’ll understand.
\nThe fear of Yahweh. <\/p>\n
1026
\n00:52:51,260 –> 00:52:53,320
\nAnd find the knowledge.
\nOf God. <\/p>\n
1027
\n00:52:53,980 –> 00:52:56,040
\nFor Yahweh.
\nGives wisdom. <\/p>\n
1028
\n00:52:56,280 –> 00:52:58,060
\nOut of his mouth.
\nComes knowledge. <\/p>\n
1029
\n00:52:58,160 –> 00:52:59,040
\nAnd understanding.
\nSo. <\/p>\n
1030
\n00:52:59,380 –> 00:53:02,620
\nWhoever this woman wisdom is.
\nThe wisdom she has. <\/p>\n
1031
\n00:53:02,820 –> 00:53:04,680
\nIs God’s.
\nFrom him. <\/p>\n
1032
\n00:53:05,540 –> 00:53:07,500
\nAnd is God’s knowledge.
\nUnderstanding. <\/p>\n
1033
\n00:53:08,040 –> 00:53:09,940
\nAnd wisdom.
\nWhat we find. <\/p>\n
1034
\n00:53:10,020 –> 00:53:11,500
\nAs we go through.
\nIs the woman wisdom. <\/p>\n
1035
\n00:53:11,600 –> 00:53:13,780
\nIs all about the voice.
\nShe cries. <\/p>\n
1036
\n00:53:13,880 –> 00:53:15,480
\nShe puts forth her voice.
\nMy voice. <\/p>\n
1037
\n00:53:15,540 –> 00:53:16,840
\nI’ll speak.
\nOpen my lips. <\/p>\n
1038
\n00:53:16,940 –> 00:53:17,840
\nMy mouth.
\nMy lips. <\/p>\n
1039
\n00:53:17,960 –> 00:53:18,980
\nCries.
\nUtters voice. <\/p>\n
1040
\n00:53:19,120 –> 00:53:20,100
\nUttereth words.
\nMy words. <\/p>\n
1041
\n00:53:20,320 –> 00:53:24,280
\nI’ve called.
\nThat’s her hallmark. <\/p>\n
1042
\n00:53:25,220 –> 00:53:26,840
\nShe’s crying out.
\nAnd calling. <\/p>\n
1043
\n00:53:27,560 –> 00:53:29,740
\nWords.
\nWhich are God’s knowledge. <\/p>\n
1044
\n00:53:30,140 –> 00:53:31,300
\nUnderstanding.
\nAnd wisdom. <\/p>\n
1045
\n00:53:31,400 –> 00:53:34,554
\nWho’s she calling out to?
\nWell in Proverbs chapter 1 verse<\/p>\n
1046
\n00:53:34,554 –> 00:53:37,040
\n22 to 23.
\nAnd 8 verses 4 and 5. <\/p>\n
1047
\n00:53:37,320 –> 00:53:39,240
\nIt’s the men.
\nO ye sons of men. <\/p>\n
1048
\n00:53:39,320 –> 00:53:40,320
\nThe ish.
\nThe men. <\/p>\n
1049
\n00:53:40,660 –> 00:53:42,040
\nThe Ben Adams.
\nSons of men. <\/p>\n
1050
\n00:53:42,160 –> 00:53:44,840
\nTwo biblical themes.
\nTo a group called the simple. <\/p>\n
1051
\n00:53:44,980 –> 00:53:46,720
\nThe ones who have nothing in
\ntheir head. <\/p>\n
1052
\n00:53:46,920 –> 00:53:48,760
\nThey don’t have knowledge.
\nUnderstanding wisdom. <\/p>\n
1053
\n00:53:49,140 –> 00:53:51,280
\nThe fools.
\nWho are going through life <\/p>\n
1054
\n00:53:51,280 –> 00:53:52,960
\nwithout this.
\nAnd keep stumbling. <\/p>\n
1055
\n00:53:53,740 –> 00:53:56,040
\nWalking into things.
\nBecause they don’t have it. <\/p>\n
1056
\n00:53:56,100 –> 00:53:58,580
\nThat’s who she’s calling out to.
\nWhich is us. <\/p>\n
1057
\n00:53:59,180 –> 00:54:02,086
\nSo who is she?
\nWell I’ll quickly take you to <\/p>\n
1058
\n00:54:02,086 –> 00:54:10,200
\nthe conclusion.
\nShe’s God’s wisdom. <\/p>\n
1059
\n00:54:11,660 –> 00:54:14,280
\nManifest through the woman
\nwisdom. <\/p>\n
1060
\n00:54:14,900 –> 00:54:18,320
\nTo the simple.
\nSo she’s an intermediary. <\/p>\n
1061
\n00:54:19,060 –> 00:54:23,437
\nShe’s an agent of God.
\nAs his vehicle for imparting <\/p>\n
1062
\n00:54:23,437 –> 00:54:24,640
\nknowledge.
\nUnderstanding wisdom. <\/p>\n
1063
\n00:54:25,480 –> 00:54:27,800
\nSecondly.
\nShe’s both the message. <\/p>\n
1064
\n00:54:28,020 –> 00:54:29,980
\nAnd the messenger.
\nCome to me. <\/p>\n
1065
\n00:54:30,240 –> 00:54:32,080
\nFor I am wisdom.
\nShe says. <\/p>\n
1066
\n00:54:32,680 –> 00:54:36,560
\nShe represents God’s knowledge.
\nWisdom and understanding. <\/p>\n
1067
\n00:54:36,740 –> 00:54:38,960
\nHis word.
\nIn a human being. <\/p>\n
1068
\n00:54:40,100 –> 00:54:43,500
\nShe’s seen in Jesus Christ.
\nShe’s seen in the scriptures. <\/p>\n
1069
\n00:54:44,060 –> 00:54:47,060
\nShe’s seen the prophets.
\nAnd she’s seen in us. <\/p>\n
1070
\n00:54:48,220 –> 00:54:51,500
\nNow why a woman?
\nWell that’s obvious. <\/p>\n
1071
\n00:54:51,680 –> 00:54:53,260
\nThat’s why I put it.
\nExcept that reason. <\/p>\n
1072
\n00:54:53,260 –> 00:54:57,535
\nBecause God’s wanting to
\nrepresent a picture of Emmanuel <\/p>\n
1073
\n00:54:57,535 –> 00:54:59,700
\nGod with us.
\nThe divine. <\/p>\n
1074
\n00:55:00,120 –> 00:55:02,120
\nThe word.
\nThe begotten of God. <\/p>\n
1075
\n00:55:02,200 –> 00:55:04,220
\nThe son.
\nInhuman. <\/p>\n
1076
\n00:55:04,520 –> 00:55:06,500
\nMade of flesh.
\nAnd born of a woman. <\/p>\n
1077
\n00:55:06,860 –> 00:55:09,500
\nThe word made flesh.
\nSo it’s a picture. <\/p>\n
1078
\n00:55:10,260 –> 00:55:13,000
\nOf the Lord Jesus Christ.
\nIt’s a picture. <\/p>\n
1079
\n00:55:13,380 –> 00:55:15,862
\nOf his word.
\nManifest in those who are born <\/p>\n
1080
\n00:55:15,862 –> 00:55:17,280
\nof a woman.
\nThe seed. <\/p>\n
1081
\n00:55:17,540 –> 00:55:19,320
\nOf the woman.
\nThe wisdom. <\/p>\n
1082
\n00:55:19,540 –> 00:55:22,520
\nEmanating from the woman.
\nSo a lot more to this. <\/p>\n
1083
\n00:55:22,660 –> 00:55:24,460
\nBut hopefully you can see the
\nidea. <\/p>\n
1084
\n00:55:24,760 –> 00:55:27,180
\nShe represents that concept
\nidea. <\/p>\n
1085
\n00:55:27,620 –> 00:55:29,740
\nThe knowledge and understanding.
\nWisdom of God. <\/p>\n
1086
\n00:55:30,040 –> 00:55:32,520
\nManifest in a human being.
\nBorn of a woman. <\/p>\n
1087
\n00:55:33,120 –> 00:55:36,520
\nGod manifestation.
\nThe words and actions. <\/p>\n
1088
\n00:55:36,820 –> 00:55:39,836
\nOf the person.
\nAre the knowledge and <\/p>\n
1089
\n00:55:39,836 –> 00:55:41,320
\nunderstanding.
\nWisdom of God. <\/p>\n
1090
\n00:55:41,800 –> 00:55:45,760
\nRevealed.
\nSo. <\/p>\n
1091
\n00:55:46,700 –> 00:55:50,500
\nWas that too quick?
\nGotta go faster now. <\/p>\n
1092
\n00:55:51,200 –> 00:55:55,600
\nI’m going to take you through.
\nMost of the woman wisdom <\/p>\n
1093
\n00:55:55,600 –> 00:55:57,960
\npassages.
\nAnd just give you a glimpse. <\/p>\n
1094
\n00:55:58,100 –> 00:55:59,960
\nInto the representation.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n

\nSo.

\nVerse 22.
\nTo 33. <\/p>\n

\n00:56:03,940 –> 00:56:05,860
\nLet’s turn that one up.
\nAnd now. <\/p>\n
1098
\n00:56:05,860 –> 00:56:22,480
\nI think you did the wrong place.
\nSorry about that. <\/p>\n

\nNow it’s frozen.
\nSo just bear with me here. <\/p>\n

\nWhile I try to.
\nGet this to. <\/p>\n
1101
\n00:56:42,480 –> 00:56:43,990
\nRight.
\nYou were supposed to go to <\/p>\n
1102
\n00:56:43,990 –> 00:56:45,400
\nchapter 1.
\nVerse 20 to 33. <\/p>\n
1103
\n00:56:45,400 –> 00:56:54,280
\nIt’s here in the opening
\nchapter. <\/p>\n
1104
\n00:56:54,280 –> 00:56:56,460
\nIt says in verse 20.
\nWisdom cries without. <\/p>\n
1105
\n00:56:56,640 –> 00:56:57,920
\nShe utters a voice in the
\nstreet. <\/p>\n
1106
\n00:56:58,060 –> 00:56:59,980
\nShe cries in the chief place of
\nthe concourse. <\/p>\n
1107
\n00:57:00,060 –> 00:57:01,600
\nIn the openings of the gates.
\nIn the city. <\/p>\n
1108
\n00:57:01,600 –> 00:57:04,080
\nShe utters a word saying.
\nHow long ye simple ones. <\/p>\n
1109
\n00:57:04,140 –> 00:57:06,826
\nWill ye love simplicity.
\nAnd the scorners delight in <\/p>\n
1110
\n00:57:06,826 –> 00:57:08,420
\ntheir scorning.
\nAnd fools hate knowledge. <\/p>\n
1111
\n00:57:08,860 –> 00:57:10,460
\nTurn up my reproof.
\nBehold. <\/p>\n
1112
\n00:57:10,540 –> 00:57:12,000
\nI will pour out my spirit to
\nyou. <\/p>\n
1113
\n00:57:12,040 –> 00:57:13,720
\nI’ll make no of my words unto
\nyou. <\/p>\n
1114
\n00:57:13,760 –> 00:57:15,240
\nBecause I’ve called.
\nYou’ve refused. <\/p>\n
1115
\n00:57:15,340 –> 00:57:17,420
\nI stretched out my hand.
\nNo one regarded. <\/p>\n
1116
\n00:57:17,740 –> 00:57:20,740
\nYou’ve said it not my counsel.
\nYou’ve none of my reproof. <\/p>\n
1117
\n00:57:20,740 –> 00:57:25,243
\nAnd then finally in verse 27.
\nSo when your fear comes as <\/p>\n
1118
\n00:57:25,243 –> 00:57:26,920
\ndesolation.
\nYour destruction as a whirlwind.<\/p>\n
1119
\n00:57:27,020 –> 00:57:28,860
\nDistress and anguish comes upon
\nyou. <\/p>\n
1120
\n00:57:28,980 –> 00:57:30,720
\nYou’ll call upon me.
\nI will not answer. <\/p>\n
1121
\n00:57:30,840 –> 00:57:32,740
\nThey will seek me early.
\nAnd will not find me. <\/p>\n
1122
\n00:57:33,040 –> 00:57:35,553
\nThose who hated knowledge.
\nAnd did not choose the fear of <\/p>\n
1123
\n00:57:35,553 –> 00:57:37,240
\nYahweh.
\nThey were none of my counsel. <\/p>\n
1124
\n00:57:37,340 –> 00:57:40,162
\nThey despised all my reproof.
\nSo they’ll eat of the fruit of <\/p>\n
1125
\n00:57:40,162 –> 00:57:41,900
\ntheir own way.
\nAnd be filled with their own <\/p>\n
1126
\n00:57:41,900 –> 00:57:43,820
\ndevices.
\nFor the turning away of the <\/p>\n
1127
\n00:57:43,820 –> 00:57:44,900
\nsimple.
\nShall slay them. <\/p>\n
1128
\n00:57:45,020 –> 00:57:46,940
\nThe prosperity of all.
\nShall destroy them. <\/p>\n
1129
\n00:57:47,340 –> 00:57:49,500
\nBut whoever hearkens to me.
\nShall dwell safely. <\/p>\n
1130
\n00:57:49,660 –> 00:57:51,900
\nAnd shall be quiet from fear.
\nFear of evil. <\/p>\n
1131
\n00:57:52,260 –> 00:57:53,960
\nAnd what we’ve got here.
\nIs a representation. <\/p>\n
1132
\n00:57:54,540 –> 00:57:56,300
\nOf the word of God.
\nAnd the call of the prophets. <\/p>\n
1133
\n00:57:56,540 –> 00:58:00,000
\nSo.
\nThere’s all the passages. <\/p>\n
1134
\n00:58:00,000 –> 00:58:03,780
\nWhere it uses this language.
\nTo describe the call of wisdom. <\/p>\n
1135
\n00:58:03,780 –> 00:58:05,260
\nThrough the prophets.
\nTo the nation. <\/p>\n
1136
\n00:58:05,940 –> 00:58:09,080
\nAnd they’re rejecting of it.
\nAnd the consequential outcome. <\/p>\n
1137
\n00:58:09,560 –> 00:58:12,120
\nSo that’s chapter one.
\nLet’s go over chapter three. <\/p>\n
