Class 6 from this series was used in GCT Episode 329.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:02,100 –> 00:00:06,300
\nWell, we come to this amazing
\nsubject here, the deliverance <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:06,300 –> 00:00:09,814
\nfrom the strange woman.
\nAnd as we’ve been going through <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:09,814 –> 00:00:12,993
\nthe book of Proverbs, we’ve
\ndiscovered that one of the key <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:12,993 –> 00:00:16,740
\nobjectives of the book that was
\nset out in chapter two was to, <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:16,740 –> 00:00:20,513
\nwhen wisdom enters our heart and
\nknowledge pleasant to our soul <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:20,513 –> 00:00:23,934
\nand discretion will preserve the
\nunderstanding keep me to deliver<\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:23,934 –> 00:00:27,354
\nthee from the strange woman,
\nfrom the stranger that flatters <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:27,354 –> 00:00:29,922
\nwith her words.
\nAnd we found that there’s these <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:29,922 –> 00:00:33,006
\ntwo arch nemeses, these two arch
\nenemies, if you like, that are <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:33,006 –> 00:00:36,080
\npresented by the father to the
\nson in the book of Proverbs. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:36,200 –> 00:00:38,860
\nOne, the evil man that we looked
\nat yesterday. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:38,860 –> 00:00:41,810
\nAnd today we’re going to look at
\nthe strange woman. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:41,810 –> 00:00:43,580
\nWho is she?
\nWhat is she? <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:44,260 –> 00:00:46,600
\nWhy is she an enemy and an arch
\nnemesis? <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:46,600 –> 00:00:48,680
\nWhy does the son need to be
\ndelivered? <\/p>\n
17
\n00:00:50,680 –> 00:00:53,677
\nYou know, this theme crops up a
\nnumber of other times in <\/p>\n
18
\n00:00:53,677 –> 00:00:55,420
\nProverbs chapter six, verse 23
\non screen. <\/p>\n
19
\n00:00:55,420 –> 00:00:58,839
\nFor the commandment is a lamp
\nand the law is a light and <\/p>\n
20
\n00:00:58,839 –> 00:01:00,940
\nreproofs of instruction are the
\nway of life. <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:01,520 –> 00:01:03,507
\nWhy?
\nTo keep thee from the evil <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:03,507 –> 00:01:06,620
\nwoman, from the flattery of the
\ntongue of a strange woman. <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:07,000 –> 00:01:09,945
\nOr again, as we’ve read in
\nProverbs chapter seven, say to <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:09,945 –> 00:01:12,765
\nwisdom, you are my sister.
\nCall understanding your <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:12,765 –> 00:01:16,508
\nkinswoman that they may keep
\nthee from the strange woman, <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:16,508 –> 00:01:19,500
\nfrom a stranger who flatters
\nwith her words. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:19,500 –> 00:01:23,562
\nSo today our objective is to
\nwork out who is the strange <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:23,562 –> 00:01:26,196
\nwoman?
\nWhy do we need to be delivered <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:26,196 –> 00:01:29,304
\nfrom her?
\nWhy is this message set out in <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:29,304 –> 00:01:33,588
\nthe book of Proverbs by the
\nfather to the son and to us as <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:33,588 –> 00:01:35,814
\nhis children?
\nYou’ll see there the key texts <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:35,814 –> 00:01:38,360
\nthat we have.
\nChapter two, verse 16 to 19. <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:38,560 –> 00:01:42,340
\nChapter five, verse one to 23.
\nChapter six, verse 20 to 35. <\/p>\n
34
\n00:01:42,600 –> 00:01:46,060
\nChapter seven, verse one to 27.
\nChapter nine, verses 13 to 18. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:01:46,060 –> 00:01:48,160
\nIt’s quite a major theme, isn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n
36
\n00:01:48,360 –> 00:01:50,740
\nAnd those established first ten
\nchapters of the book. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:01:50,780 –> 00:01:53,642
\nAnd then the themes keep going
\nthrough into the rest of the <\/p>\n
38
\n00:01:53,642 –> 00:01:55,140
\nProverbs.
\nSo it’s an important one. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:01:56,100 –> 00:01:58,300
\nNow today you’re going to need a
\nworksheet. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:01:58,580 –> 00:02:01,620
\nSo hopefully everybody has a
\nworksheet. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:01,620 –> 00:02:05,663
\nSo that is the key Proverbs text
\nof a strange woman with a <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:05,663 –> 00:02:07,840
\ndiagram and area for drawing the
\nbottom. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:08,060 –> 00:02:10,100
\nSo hands up if you don’t have
\none of those. <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:10,960 –> 00:02:12,500
\nAll right, so there’s a few down
\nhere. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:12,500 –> 00:02:17,123
\nIf we just get our door.
\nSo there’s a few down on the <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:17,123 –> 00:02:20,274
\nfront here.
\nSo we’ll be needing that as we <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:20,274 –> 00:02:35,010
\ngo through this this morning.
\nRight, so we’re all now in front<\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:35,010 –> 00:02:38,136
\nof you.
\nA copy of all of those key texts<\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:38,136 –> 00:02:40,434
\non the strange woman.
\nAnd there’s a little bit missing<\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:40,434 –> 00:02:42,020
\nbecause I couldn’t fit it onto
\nthe sheet. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:42,160 –> 00:02:44,220
\nBut we won’t need those this
\nmorning. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:02:44,360 –> 00:02:47,924
\nSo those are all the key
\npassages in the book of Proverbs<\/p>\n
53
\n00:02:47,924 –> 00:02:50,000
\nthat deal with, describe the
\nstrange woman. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:02:50,900 –> 00:02:54,586
\nAnd deliverance from her.
\nYou’ll also note at the bottom <\/p>\n
55
\n00:02:54,586 –> 00:02:57,160
\nthat there’s a little diagram.
\nWe’ll come to that in a moment. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:02:57,160 –> 00:03:02,380
\nAll right, so the first thing to
\nnote is that way back in the <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:02,380 –> 00:03:05,852
\npurpose statement of the book.
\nSo remember we went back to the <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:05,852 –> 00:03:07,160
\nfirst eight verses of chapter
\none. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:07,280 –> 00:03:10,120
\nAnd Nicely set out a five key
\npurpose statements. <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:10,700 –> 00:03:14,147
\nThis morning we’re all going to
\nbe looking at statement number <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:14,147 –> 00:03:16,214
\nfour.
\nThat’s a purpose statement <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:16,214 –> 00:03:19,820
\nnumber four.
\nAnd that reads, To give subtlety<\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:19,820 –> 00:03:24,000
\nto the simple and to the young
\nman knowledge and discretion. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:24,000 –> 00:03:26,780
\nNow we know that this is the
\npurpose statement. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:27,220 –> 00:03:33,010
\nBecause when we come to Proverbs
\nchapter seven, Wisdom says, I <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:33,010 –> 00:03:36,420
\nwas in my house looking out
\nthrough my window or casement. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:36,580 –> 00:03:39,692
\nAnd I beheld among the simple
\nones, I discerned among the <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:39,692 –> 00:03:42,850
\nyouth, a young man.
\nSo chapter seven is all about <\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:42,850 –> 00:03:46,416
\nthis young man, this simple one
\nof Proverbs chapter one verse <\/p>\n
70
\n00:03:46,416 –> 00:03:47,680
\nfour.
\nAnd the purpose statement. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:03:47,840 –> 00:03:50,404
\nSo today we’re going to be
\nlooking at that purpose <\/p>\n
72
\n00:03:50,404 –> 00:03:52,437
\nstatement.
\nAnd what it means because it is <\/p>\n
73
\n00:03:52,437 –> 00:03:55,220
\nthe young man, the simple young
\nman of Proverbs chapter seven. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:03:55,560 –> 00:03:58,476
\nSo let’s just unpack this a
\nlittle bit so we understand what<\/p>\n
75
\n00:03:58,476 –> 00:04:02,780
\nit’s saying.
\nIt’s to give subtlety. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:03,040 –> 00:04:06,916
\nSo there’s a giving here of
\nsomething by wisdom, by the book<\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:06,916 –> 00:04:10,360
\nof Proverbs, to somebody called
\nthe simple young man. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:11,060 –> 00:04:13,960
\nThe thing is subtlety.
\nNow that’s an unusual word. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:14,740 –> 00:04:18,240
\nIt means trickery.
\nIt’s normally translated <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:18,240 –> 00:04:21,504
\ntrickery.
\nIn fact, it comes from a family <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:21,504 –> 00:04:23,820
\nof words that translate like
\nthis. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:25,000 –> 00:04:30,160
\nGuile, trickery, subtlety,
\ncrafty. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:30,760 –> 00:04:33,888
\nAnd in fact, one of the words is
\nthe term in Genesis, where the <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:33,888 –> 00:04:36,240
\nserpent was more subtle than any
\nother beast. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:37,040 –> 00:04:40,702
\nUnusual little term, isn’t it?
\nThat it’s going to give the <\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:40,702 –> 00:04:42,940
\nsubtlety, this craftiness to the
\nsimple. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:04:42,940 –> 00:04:47,662
\nThe word simple simply means
\nsimple or silly from the term to<\/p>\n
88
\n00:04:47,662 –> 00:04:51,881
\nbe open or roomy or empty.
\nSo it’s the idea of someone, you<\/p>\n
89
\n00:04:51,881 –> 00:04:53,960
\nor I, there’s nothing going on
\nin our head. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:04:54,040 –> 00:04:57,431
\nWe have no knowledge, no
\nunderstanding, no wisdom, <\/p>\n
91
\n00:04:57,431 –> 00:05:01,173
\naccording to Proverbs.
\nSo we’re a young man, a simple <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:01,173 –> 00:05:04,563
\nyoung man, nothing in our head,
\nno knowledge, no understanding, <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:04,563 –> 00:05:07,816
\nno wisdom.
\nAnd into us, we’re going to be <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:07,816 –> 00:05:10,020
\ngiven this thing that’s called
\nsubtlety. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:11,100 –> 00:05:15,230
\nThe term young man is the one
\nwho receives the correction <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:15,230 –> 00:05:17,480
\ninstruction in the book of
\nProverbs. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:17,800 –> 00:05:20,722
\nCome with me to chapter 22,
\nverse 6, and you’ll see that <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:20,722 –> 00:05:24,530
\nthematically in the book of
\nProverbs, he is the one who’s <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:24,530 –> 00:05:26,840
\nreceiving the wisdom,
\nunderstanding, and knowledge. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:26,840 –> 00:05:30,354
\nSo here’s the same term, young
\nman, but it’s actually <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:30,354 –> 00:05:32,460
\ntranslated child, chapter 22,
\nverse 6. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:32,820 –> 00:05:36,535
\nTrain up a child, same term, in
\nthe way he should go, and when <\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:36,535 –> 00:05:38,920
\nhe is old, he will not depart
\nfrom it. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:05:39,600 –> 00:05:42,916
\nYou can connect that into the
\nNew Testament passages, where <\/p>\n
105
\n00:05:42,916 –> 00:05:46,170
\nthe same term is used in
\nreference to the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
106
\n00:05:46,170 –> 00:05:48,869
\nChrist himself.
\nIt’s a key term, the child <\/p>\n
107
\n00:05:48,869 –> 00:05:52,380
\nJesus.
\nAll right, well, the young man’s<\/p>\n
108
\n00:05:52,380 –> 00:05:55,120
\ngoing to get knowledge, we know
\nwhat that is, and discretion. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:05:55,120 –> 00:05:57,000
\nNow, this is another unusual
\nterm. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:05:57,600 –> 00:06:00,920
\nIt means a plan, and it’s
\nnormally an evil plan. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:01,600 –> 00:06:05,520
\nSo it’s the term used of wicked
\nor evil people where they put a <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:05,520 –> 00:06:09,932
\nstrategy or a plan together, and
\nit says that the young man is <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:09,932 –> 00:06:12,580
\ngoing to get a plan or a
\nstrategy. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:13,420 –> 00:06:17,736
\nThe NET translates all of this
\nto impart shrewdness to the <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:17,736 –> 00:06:22,220
\nmorally naive and a discerning
\nplan to the young person. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:22,220 –> 00:06:25,700
\nSo why does it use these unusual
\nterms? <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:27,100 –> 00:06:29,814
\nRemember when Christ says, I
\nsend you out of sheep among <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:29,814 –> 00:06:35,667
\nwolves, and you must be as wise
\nas serpents, but harmless as <\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:35,667 –> 00:06:38,485
\ndoves.
\nThe book of Proverbs is going to<\/p>\n
120
\n00:06:38,485 –> 00:06:42,556
\ngive the simple young man a
\ncomprehension about how the mind<\/p>\n
121
\n00:06:42,556 –> 00:06:46,280
\nof wickedness and evil of the
\nserpent works. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:06:46,280 –> 00:06:49,120
\nBut of course, Christ’s
\ninstructions were, and you’re <\/p>\n
123
\n00:06:49,120 –> 00:06:53,380
\nnever to use that to cause
\ndamage or harm to anyone else. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:06:53,740 –> 00:06:57,232
\nBut you need to understand how
\nall this works, says the book of<\/p>\n
125
\n00:06:57,232 –> 00:06:59,979
\nProverbs.
\nSo you have a strategy and a <\/p>\n
126
\n00:06:59,979 –> 00:07:03,896
\nplan to deal with it.
\nSo that’s the promise to the <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:03,896 –> 00:07:07,920
\nsimple young man, to be given a
\nplan, subtlety, and discretion. <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:07,920 –> 00:07:13,236
\nAs we said in Proverbs chapter
\n7, this simple young man crops <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:13,236 –> 00:07:17,256
\nup again.
\nSo here he is, and he needs that<\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:17,256 –> 00:07:20,236
\nplan, and he needs that
\nstrategy, he needs that <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:20,236 –> 00:07:23,095
\nsubtlety, but he doesn’t.
\nWe can see the disastrous <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:23,095 –> 00:07:25,420
\noutcome that we’ve read in
\nProverbs chapter 7. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:26,080 –> 00:07:28,230
\nSo with that little background
\nand introduction, this is what <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:28,230 –> 00:07:31,920
\nwe’re going to do this morning.
\nWe’re going to go through the <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:31,920 –> 00:07:34,280
\nrelevant texts.
\nWe’re going to draw a picture. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:34,620 –> 00:07:37,237
\nSo at the bottom of your sheet,
\nyou’ve got an area to draw <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:37,237 –> 00:07:39,400
\ndetail and pictures.
\nIf it’s too small, flip the page<\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:39,400 –> 00:07:41,040
\nover, and you can draw on the
\nback. <\/p>\n
139
\n00:07:41,100 –> 00:07:42,220
\nYou’ll get your own piece of
\npaper. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:07:42,300 –> 00:07:46,146
\nWe’re going to draw a picture.
\nWe’re going to draw a picture, <\/p>\n
141
\n00:07:46,146 –> 00:07:48,886
\nof course, because the
\nscripture, which is the word of <\/p>\n
142
\n00:07:48,886 –> 00:07:52,171
\nGod, is actually a
\nrepresentation of something that<\/p>\n
143
\n00:07:52,171 –> 00:07:55,624
\noriginally, something you could
\nsee or hear or touch or <\/p>\n
144
\n00:07:55,624 –> 00:07:58,740
\nsomething that was there in the
\nreal world, put into words. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:07:58,740 –> 00:08:02,132
\nSo we’re going to unpack it and
\nput it back into a picture so we<\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:02,132 –> 00:08:03,940
\ncan see what it’s coding, what
\nit’s saying. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:04,700 –> 00:08:07,200
\nWe’re going to identify who this
\nstrange woman is. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:07,280 –> 00:08:10,178
\nWe’re then going to put her into
\na biblical context so we <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:10,178 –> 00:08:13,460
\nunderstand her, and then we’re
\ngoing to have a look at the <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:13,460 –> 00:08:16,068
\nquestion of developing plan.
\nSo that’s what we’re going to do<\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:16,068 –> 00:08:17,500
\nthis morning.
\nThat’s our agenda, and we’re <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:17,500 –> 00:08:20,590
\ngoing to follow a process.
\nWe’ve seen that there is a <\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:20,590 –> 00:08:22,060
\ndivine teaching and learning
\nprocess. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:22,440 –> 00:08:27,000
\nIt’s knowledge to understanding
\nand comprehension and to wisdom,<\/p>\n
155
\n00:08:27,000 –> 00:08:29,652
\nthe practical application of
\nthat knowledge and understanding<\/p>\n
156
\n00:08:29,652 –> 00:08:32,299
\nin a host of different ways in
\nlife. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:08:32,400 –> 00:08:33,799
\nSo we’re going to follow that
\nprocess. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:08:33,880 –> 00:08:35,039
\nWe’re going to have three
\nstages. <\/p>\n
159
\n00:08:35,380 –> 00:08:36,720
\nWe’re going to develop a
\nknowledge. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:08:37,280 –> 00:08:39,720
\nThen we’re going to come to
\nunderstanding and comprehension,<\/p>\n
161
\n00:08:39,720 –> 00:08:43,658
\nand then we’re going to put that
\ninto practice in understanding <\/p>\n
162
\n00:08:43,658 –> 00:08:46,160
\nhow it works in life and
\npractice. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:08:46,160 –> 00:08:50,027
\nBefore I do that, I want to just
\nshare with you an interesting <\/p>\n
164
\n00:08:50,027 –> 00:08:52,700
\nthing about the concept of
\nunderstanding in the scriptures.<\/p>\n
165
\n00:08:53,700 –> 00:08:58,680
\nSo here’s the Hebrew term and
\nthe Greek term, New Testament, <\/p>\n
166
\n00:08:58,680 –> 00:09:00,940
\nOld Testament term for
\nunderstanding. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:01,640 –> 00:09:05,180
\nSo in the Greek, typically the
\nterm understanding will be <\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:05,180 –> 00:09:09,548
\ntranslated from sunimi, which
\nmeans to put together in order <\/p>\n
169
\n00:09:09,548 –> 00:09:12,758
\nto comprehend.
\nIf you go to the Hebrew, it’s <\/p>\n
170
\n00:09:12,758 –> 00:09:16,506
\nthe opposite.
\nBene means to mentally separate <\/p>\n
171
\n00:09:16,506 –> 00:09:21,124
\ninto pieces.
\nSo both the New and Old <\/p>\n
172
\n00:09:21,124 –> 00:09:25,022
\nTestament, Greek and Hebrew,
\nhave got an idea that <\/p>\n
173
\n00:09:25,022 –> 00:09:28,990
\nunderstanding is about putting
\nthings together, so the <\/p>\n
174
\n00:09:28,990 –> 00:09:32,776
\nsub-pieces that are connected
\ntogether, or if it’s complexity <\/p>\n
175
\n00:09:32,776 –> 00:09:37,052
\nto comprehend, you break it into
\nthe smaller parts and mentally <\/p>\n
176
\n00:09:37,052 –> 00:09:39,100
\nseparate.
\nNow we can see that process <\/p>\n
177
\n00:09:39,100 –> 00:09:42,676
\noccurring here on the screen in
\nNehemiah 8 verse 8, where it <\/p>\n
178
\n00:09:42,676 –> 00:09:46,280
\nsays that they read in the book
\nand the law of God distinctly, <\/p>\n
179
\n00:09:46,420 –> 00:09:52,440
\nparash, to separate, to give the
\nsense, and cause them to bene, <\/p>\n
180
\n00:09:52,440 –> 00:09:54,700
\nseparate, mentally understand
\nthe reading. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:09:55,140 –> 00:09:58,675
\nSo there’s a process happening
\ninside understanding that’s <\/p>\n
182
\n00:09:58,675 –> 00:10:02,575
\nbreaking complexity down to
\nsmaller parts, putting them back<\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:02,575 –> 00:10:04,627
\ntogether.
\nSo we’re going to follow that <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:04,627 –> 00:10:08,880
\nprocess as well, as we come to
\nunderstand what’s going on. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:09,300 –> 00:10:12,034
\nAlright, well let’s start with
\nthe first step, which is <\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:12,034 –> 00:10:14,389
\nknowledge.
\nSo you’ve all got your sheet <\/p>\n
187
\n00:10:14,389 –> 00:10:17,216
\nthere, at the bottom of your
\nsheet you should have something <\/p>\n
188
\n00:10:17,216 –> 00:10:20,133
\nthat looks like that, and we’re
\ngoing to start putting our <\/p>\n
189
\n00:10:20,133 –> 00:10:23,858
\nfacts, our knowledge, from the
\ntext as we go through them into <\/p>\n
190
\n00:10:23,858 –> 00:10:27,577
\nthis diagram.
\nSo, here’s a few things to <\/p>\n
191
\n00:10:27,577 –> 00:10:29,604
\nnotice.
\nI’ve already gone through this <\/p>\n
192
\n00:10:29,604 –> 00:10:32,836
\nfor you, but you would be able
\nto do this yourselves, in your <\/p>\n
193
\n00:10:32,836 –> 00:10:35,816
\nown Bible study.
\nI’ve coloured in a number of <\/p>\n
194
\n00:10:35,816 –> 00:10:39,420
\ndifferent themes, and they
\nrevolve around this particular <\/p>\n
195
\n00:10:39,420 –> 00:10:42,240
\ndiagram.
\nSo we’ve got coloured in her <\/p>\n
196
\n00:10:42,240 –> 00:10:45,414
\ncharacteristics, we’ve got
\ncoloured in descriptions of her <\/p>\n
197
\n00:10:45,414 –> 00:10:50,578
\npath and way, descriptions about
\nher end or her house, and <\/p>\n
198
\n00:10:50,578 –> 00:10:53,084
\ndescriptions about her
\ninteraction with the simple <\/p>\n
199
\n00:10:53,084 –> 00:10:55,500
\nyoung man who’s void of
\nunderstanding. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:10:55,500 –> 00:10:58,941
\nSo we’re going to pull out,
\nstrip out, the categories of <\/p>\n
201
\n00:10:58,941 –> 00:11:01,020
\ndifferent idea that revolve
\naround those. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:01,300 –> 00:11:04,636
\nThere’s a lot more detail that
\nsits underneath it, but today <\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:04,636 –> 00:11:08,452
\nour purpose is to abstract those
\nones, so we can run across the <\/p>\n
204
\n00:11:08,452 –> 00:11:11,961
\ntop and see the backbone of who
\nand what she is, and maybe we <\/p>\n
205
\n00:11:11,961 –> 00:11:14,860
\ncan deal with a little bit of
\nthe detail as we come to <\/p>\n
206
\n00:11:14,860 –> 00:11:17,523
\nunderstand the picture later.
\nSo that’s what we’re going to <\/p>\n
207
\n00:11:17,523 –> 00:11:19,934
\ndo.
\nSo the first thing to note, on <\/p>\n
208
\n00:11:19,934 –> 00:11:23,500
\nyour handout, is that I’ve
\nhelpfully coloured in some <\/p>\n
209
\n00:11:23,500 –> 00:11:25,580
\nthings in blue.
\nRight? <\/p>\n
210
\n00:11:25,800 –> 00:11:28,060
\nAnd those are descriptions of
\nher house. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:11:28,580 –> 00:11:31,696
\nSo let’s just go through those,
\nand you can write these in, down<\/p>\n
212
\n00:11:31,696 –> 00:11:35,160
\non the left-hand side, ideas
\nassociated with the house. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:11:35,280 –> 00:11:39,560
\nChapter 2, verse 18.
\nHer house inclineth unto death. <\/p>\n
214
\n00:11:42,560 –> 00:11:51,298
\nIn verse 27, chapter 7, her
\nhouse is the way to hell, going <\/p>\n
215
\n00:11:51,298 –> 00:11:56,340
\ndown to the chambers of death.
\nChapter 9, verse 14. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:11:56,460 –> 00:12:00,500
\nShe sits at the door of her
\nhouse, which inclines to death, <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:00,700 –> 00:12:03,260
\nand which goes to hell, and is
\nthe chambers of death. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:04,260 –> 00:12:10,032
\nAnd chapter 9, verse 18.
\nThe dead are there, that is in <\/p>\n
219
\n00:12:10,032 –> 00:12:13,160
\nher house, and her guests are in
\nthe depths of hell. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:12:13,160 –> 00:12:15,940
\nThat’s a pretty good Airbnb
\nadvertisement, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
221
\n00:12:17,140 –> 00:12:19,060
\nYeah, I’d like to spend a night
\nthere. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:12:19,960 –> 00:12:23,235
\nSo that’s a description of her
\nhouse, as we go through those <\/p>\n
223
\n00:12:23,235 –> 00:12:27,140
\npassages and texts.
\nOkay, what about her path or <\/p>\n
224
\n00:12:27,140 –> 00:12:29,338
\nway?
\nWell, I’ve coloured those ones <\/p>\n
225
\n00:12:29,338 –> 00:12:33,540
\nin red.
\nIt’s about her path and her way,<\/p>\n
226
\n00:12:33,740 –> 00:12:37,400
\nand just notice, and maybe put
\nthese into the categories, there<\/p>\n
227
\n00:12:37,400 –> 00:12:40,640
\nare terms to do about the
\ndirection of her path and way, <\/p>\n
228
\n00:12:41,220 –> 00:12:44,657
\nand about the destination.
\nSo the direction and the <\/p>\n
229
\n00:12:44,657 –> 00:12:47,600
\ndestination of her path and way.
\nChapter 2, verse 18. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:12:48,280 –> 00:12:53,260
\nHer paths are unto the dead.
\nChapter 5, verse 4. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:12:53,420 –> 00:12:58,396
\nHer end, the end of her path, is
\nbitter as wormwood, sharp as a <\/p>\n
232
\n00:12:58,396 –> 00:13:02,340
\ntwo-edged sword.
\nHer feet go down to death. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:13:02,920 –> 00:13:07,560
\nHer steps take hold on hell.
\nOr verse 7. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:13:07,560 –> 00:13:10,700
\nHer ways are movable.
\nYou cannot know them. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:13:11,320 –> 00:13:13,400
\nSo that path or way, it moves
\nall around the place. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:13,460 –> 00:13:16,074
\nIt’s different next time.
\nIt’s different the time after <\/p>\n
237
\n00:13:16,074 –> 00:13:17,920
\nthat.
\nYou can never predict it. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:13:18,120 –> 00:13:22,760
\nIt moves around.
\nChapter 7, verse 8. <\/p>\n
239
\n00:13:22,920 –> 00:13:24,940
\nThere’s a picture, this is all
\nhappening in a city. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:13:25,280 –> 00:13:28,776
\nSomeone passing a street, and
\nthere is a corner, and it’s her <\/p>\n
241
\n00:13:28,776 –> 00:13:32,580
\ncorner on that street.
\nChapter 7, verse 12. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:13:32,740 –> 00:13:36,000
\nHer path and way, she’s outside.
\nShe’s in the streets, and she’s <\/p>\n
243
\n00:13:36,000 –> 00:13:37,260
\nlying and waiting at every
\ncorner. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:13:37,560 –> 00:13:44,380
\nAnd that will do.
\nOh no, we’ve got one more. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:13:44,700 –> 00:13:48,252
\nVerse 26.
\nAt the end of her path, she’s <\/p>\n
246
\n00:13:48,252 –> 00:13:51,940
\ncast down many wounded, and many
\nstrong have been slain by her. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:13:51,980 –> 00:13:54,390
\nSo you might like to draw a
\nlittle picture of little stick <\/p>\n
248
\n00:13:54,390 –> 00:13:58,990
\nmen and women who have been cast
\ndown, wounded, and slammed by <\/p>\n
249
\n00:13:58,990 –> 00:14:01,804
\nher at the end of her path.
\nAll right, so a very vivid <\/p>\n
250
\n00:14:01,804 –> 00:14:05,380
\npicture, as Britain said.
\nIt’s very, very vivid, isn’t it,<\/p>\n
251
\n00:14:05,380 –> 00:14:07,900
\nin terms of this imagery that’s
\nbeing created. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:14:09,900 –> 00:14:11,440
\nAm I going too quick for
\neveryone? <\/p>\n
253
\n00:14:12,540 –> 00:14:13,260
\nNope?
\nGood. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:14:13,340 –> 00:14:14,420
\nSee, everyone’s got those in
\nthere. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:14:15,300 –> 00:14:18,720
\nOkay, so the next one.
\nWe’ve got the path and the way. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:14:18,940 –> 00:14:22,425
\nWe’ve got her house.
\nWhat about her interactions with<\/p>\n
257
\n00:14:22,425 –> 00:14:23,680
\nthe young man?
\nHere they are. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:14:23,740 –> 00:14:28,790
\nThey’re in purple.
\nSo in verse 16 of chapter 2, she<\/p>\n
259
\n00:14:28,790 –> 00:14:31,660
\nis a stranger who flattereth
\nwith her words. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:14:33,020 –> 00:14:37,946
\nChapter 5, verse 3, she has a
\nlips that drop as honeycomb, and<\/p>\n
261
\n00:14:37,946 –> 00:14:43,940
\nher mouth is smoother than oil.
\nChapter 6, verse 24, there is a <\/p>\n
262
\n00:14:43,940 –> 00:14:46,740
\nflattery of the tongue of the
\nstrange woman. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:14:47,780 –> 00:14:51,180
\nVerse 25, she takes him with her
\neyelids. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:14:52,320 –> 00:14:56,556
\nChapter 7, verse 5, there is a
\nstranger who flatters with her <\/p>\n
265
\n00:14:56,556 –> 00:15:00,275
\nwords.
\nChapter 7, verse 10, she’s <\/p>\n
266
\n00:15:00,275 –> 00:15:04,445
\nsubtle of heart.
\nVerse 11 of chapter 7, she’s <\/p>\n
267
\n00:15:04,445 –> 00:15:09,080
\nloud and stubborn.
\nVerse 13, she catches him. <\/p>\n
268
\n00:15:09,860 –> 00:15:13,060
\nShe kisses him.
\nShe has an impudent face. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:15:14,680 –> 00:15:18,900
\nVerse 21 of chapter 7, she has
\nmuch fierce speech. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:15:19,000 –> 00:15:22,720
\nAnd she has a flattering of her
\nlips by which she forces him. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:15:24,000 –> 00:15:28,360
\nAnd finally, she says in chapter
\n9, verse 17, stolen waters are <\/p>\n
272
\n00:15:28,360 –> 00:15:31,880
\nsweet and bread eaten in secret.
\nIt’s pleasant. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:15:32,580 –> 00:15:34,140
\nSo there’s a bit of a picture
\nhere, isn’t there? <\/p>\n
274
\n00:15:34,180 –> 00:15:35,760
\nThere’s something about her
\nlips. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:15:35,900 –> 00:15:37,740
\nThey’re flattering.
\nThey speak. <\/p>\n
276
\n00:15:38,220 –> 00:15:41,570
\nThey’re her tool of deceit is
\nthe theme that’s coming out <\/p>\n
277
\n00:15:41,570 –> 00:15:44,584
\nhere.
\nAll right, and the final one <\/p>\n
278
\n00:15:44,584 –> 00:15:47,240
\nhere is the one that’s all in
\nbold. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:15:47,240 –> 00:15:50,920
\nThese are her characteristics,
\nher other attributes. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:15:51,380 –> 00:15:52,820
\nSo let’s just quickly go through
\nthose. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:15:52,900 –> 00:15:55,900
\nShe’s called the strange woman.
\nWe’ll come to that in a moment. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:15:56,520 –> 00:16:00,354
\nVerse 17, she forsakes the guide
\nof her youth, forgets the <\/p>\n
283
\n00:16:00,354 –> 00:16:02,540
\ncovenant of her God.
\nSo she wasn’t always strange. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:16:02,620 –> 00:16:06,040
\nAt some point, she was in a
\ncovenant with her God, but she’s<\/p>\n
285
\n00:16:06,040 –> 00:16:10,280
\nforsaken it.
\nChapter 6, verse 24, she’s <\/p>\n
286
\n00:16:10,280 –> 00:16:16,180
\ncalled an evil woman.
\nChapter 6, verse 26, she’s <\/p>\n
287
\n00:16:16,180 –> 00:16:19,560
\ncalled a whorish woman and an
\nadulteress that will hunt. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:16:21,360 –> 00:16:23,840
\nAgain, in verse 5, she’s called
\na strange woman. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:16:23,940 –> 00:16:27,540
\nIn chapter 7, verse 10, she has
\nthe attire of a harlot. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:16:29,120 –> 00:16:33,100
\nVerse 11, chapter 7, her feet do
\nnot abide in her house. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:16:33,100 –> 00:16:38,760
\nIn chapter 7, verse 21, she has
\na skill and ability that causes <\/p>\n
292
\n00:16:38,760 –> 00:16:44,840
\nto yield, that forces.
\nIn chapter 9, verse 13, she’s <\/p>\n
293
\n00:16:44,840 –> 00:16:50,200
\ncalled a foolish woman and
\nclamorous and simple and knowing<\/p>\n
294
\n00:16:50,200 –> 00:16:54,840
\nnothing.
\nVerse 14, she sits on a seat, <\/p>\n
295
\n00:16:54,960 –> 00:16:57,780
\nthat’s Kisa, it’s a throne in
\nthe high places of the city. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:16:58,620 –> 00:17:01,660
\nIn verse 15, she calls the
\npassengers to go right in her <\/p>\n
297
\n00:17:01,660 –> 00:17:04,144
\nway.
\nIt’s a vivid picture, there’s a <\/p>\n
298
\n00:17:04,144 –> 00:17:06,300
\nlot of information, isn’t it,
\nthat’s starting to come out. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:17:06,420 –> 00:17:09,790
\nSo, hopefully you’ve got that
\ncaptured a bit on your sheet <\/p>\n
300
\n00:17:09,790 –> 00:17:13,114
\nthere.
\nAlright, well we’ve got all <\/p>\n
301
\n00:17:13,114 –> 00:17:16,569
\nthese pieces.
\nHere’s a woman with all these <\/p>\n
302
\n00:17:16,569 –> 00:17:19,694
\ncharacteristics, particularly
\naround the use of her tongue and<\/p>\n
303
\n00:17:19,694 –> 00:17:23,349
\nher flattering and her deceit
\nand her beguiling nature for <\/p>\n
304
\n00:17:23,349 –> 00:17:29,784
\nthis young man.
\nHe’s turned up and she has a <\/p>\n
305
\n00:17:29,784 –> 00:17:34,380
\npath or a way that’s crooked.
\nYou can’t tell where it goes, <\/p>\n
306
\n00:17:34,440 –> 00:17:39,080
\nit’s changeable and it goes down
\nand it ends up in her house <\/p>\n
307
\n00:17:39,080 –> 00:17:43,420
\nwhich is all associated with
\ndeath and destruction and hell <\/p>\n
308
\n00:17:43,420 –> 00:17:46,060
\nand the grave.
\nAlright, well that’s enough <\/p>\n
309
\n00:17:46,060 –> 00:17:49,300
\ndetail information.
\nSo let’s start trying to put all<\/p>\n
310
\n00:17:49,300 –> 00:17:53,220
\nthese bits and pieces together.
\nSo we’re going to mentally <\/p>\n
311
\n00:17:53,220 –> 00:17:56,160
\nseparate, so that’s what we’ve
\nbeen doing, we’ve been pulling <\/p>\n
312
\n00:17:56,160 –> 00:17:59,507
\nout the pieces and separating
\nthem out and we’ve got four main<\/p>\n
313
\n00:17:59,507 –> 00:18:01,900
\ncategories.
\nNow we’re going to start putting<\/p>\n
314
\n00:18:01,900 –> 00:18:05,040
\nthem together.
\nSo here’s a bit of a summary. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:18:05,380 –> 00:18:06,920
\nLet’s have a look at the summary
\nof it. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:18:08,520 –> 00:18:11,720
\nShe’s a stranger, that’s the
\nterm loose, it means literally <\/p>\n
317
\n00:18:11,720 –> 00:18:15,570
\nto turn aside because strangers
\nwhen they came to the town or <\/p>\n
318
\n00:18:15,570 –> 00:18:18,454
\nvillage would turn aside into
\nthe accommodation which would <\/p>\n
319
\n00:18:18,454 –> 00:18:22,430
\ntypically be at the entrance of
\nthe town or city and so a <\/p>\n
320
\n00:18:22,430 –> 00:18:26,947
\nstranger turned aside. but has a
\nbit more information detail <\/p>\n
321
\n00:18:26,947 –> 00:18:29,380
\naround that a little bit later
\nin another slide. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:18:29,900 –> 00:18:33,220
\nSo this is one who doesn’t
\nbelong to the place. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:18:34,200 –> 00:18:37,500
\nShe’s come in from outside,
\nalthough she’s dwelling there, <\/p>\n
324
\n00:18:37,720 –> 00:18:39,920
\nshe didn’t belong there, she
\ncame from somewhere else. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:18:40,680 –> 00:18:43,820
\nShe’s forsaken the guide of her
\nyouth and forgotten the covenant<\/p>\n
326
\n00:18:43,820 –> 00:18:47,240
\nof her God.
\nHer words are flattery and <\/p>\n
327
\n00:18:47,240 –> 00:18:50,760
\nsmooth and honeycomb and smooth
\nin oil and fair speech. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:18:51,380 –> 00:18:54,880
\nShe’s subtle, she’s loud and
\nstubborn and impudent. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:18:55,800 –> 00:18:59,740
\nShe has a path but it goes down,
\nit’s inclining, it’s moving. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:19:00,380 –> 00:19:04,680
\nShe has a house and it’s called
\na door of death, the way to <\/p>\n
331
\n00:19:04,680 –> 00:19:08,960
\nhell, chambers of death, guests
\nthere are in hell or the grave. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:19:09,480 –> 00:19:13,450
\nShe has an end of hell, of
\ndeath, of being as bitter as <\/p>\n
333
\n00:19:13,450 –> 00:19:15,160
\nwormwood, a sharp two-edged
\nsword. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:19:15,840 –> 00:19:18,720
\nAnd we haven’t looked at this
\nbut in chapter 9 she’s a rival <\/p>\n
335
\n00:19:18,720 –> 00:19:22,530
\nbecause she says similar things
\nto similar people as the woman <\/p>\n
336
\n00:19:22,530 –> 00:19:25,100
\nwisdom.
\nSo those are her defining <\/p>\n
337
\n00:19:25,100 –> 00:19:28,715
\ncharacteristics.
\nHopefully now we’re starting to <\/p>\n
338
\n00:19:28,715 –> 00:19:31,854
\nvaguely see them connect
\ntogether to create a bit of a <\/p>\n
339
\n00:19:31,854 –> 00:19:35,200
\npackage or a bit of a picture.
\nThere’s a few extra facts. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:19:35,300 –> 00:19:39,450
\nCome with me to 1 Kings 11 verse
\n1 to 9 which tells us something <\/p>\n
341
\n00:19:39,450 –> 00:19:46,100
\nabout Solomon and his wisdom and
\nhow he failed in the end to <\/p>\n
342
\n00:19:46,100 –> 00:19:49,640
\napply that wisdom in his life.
\nBut it uses terms and a <\/p>\n
343
\n00:19:49,640 –> 00:19:54,580
\nframework of the strange woman.
\nSo 1 Kings 11 verse 1 to 9. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:20:06,720 –> 00:20:11,220
\nSo 1 Kings 11 we’re going to be
\nreading a passage about King <\/p>\n
345
\n00:20:11,220 –> 00:20:13,056
\nSolomon.
\nSo this is the one who right at <\/p>\n
346
\n00:20:13,056 –> 00:20:15,870
\nthe very beginning and the
\nfoundation of the book of <\/p>\n
347
\n00:20:15,870 –> 00:20:19,840
\nProverbs was asked by God tell
\nme whatever you want and he says<\/p>\n
348
\n00:20:19,840 –> 00:20:22,752
\nI want wisdom.
\nI want the ability to know good <\/p>\n
349
\n00:20:22,752 –> 00:20:26,280
\nand evil to discern good and
\nevil so I can judge my people. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:20:26,420 –> 00:20:29,515
\nAnd God said because you haven’t
\nasked for riches or wealth or <\/p>\n
351
\n00:20:29,515 –> 00:20:32,756
\npower etc.
\nI will give you this ability and<\/p>\n
352
\n00:20:32,756 –> 00:20:35,900
\nthe book of Proverbs is a record
\nthat sets out the wisdom <\/p>\n
353
\n00:20:35,900 –> 00:20:38,815
\nknowledge understanding the
\nprinciples of good and evil so <\/p>\n
354
\n00:20:38,815 –> 00:20:41,945
\nyou can discern the two and
\njudge and choose the good and <\/p>\n
355
\n00:20:41,945 –> 00:20:45,120
\nnot the evil.
\nAnd we read passages about how <\/p>\n
356
\n00:20:45,120 –> 00:20:47,480
\nSolomon was the wisest in the
\nwhole world. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:20:47,480 –> 00:20:50,816
\nEverybody came to hear the
\nwisdom of Solomon because he was<\/p>\n
358
\n00:20:50,816 –> 00:20:53,780
\nso wise.
\nWell here we’re going to read <\/p>\n
359
\n00:20:53,780 –> 00:20:55,660
\nthe end of Solomon and his
\nwisdom. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:20:56,780 –> 00:20:59,120
\nKing Solomon loved many strange
\nwomen. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:20:59,280 –> 00:21:01,060
\nWell there’s the same statement
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n
362
\n00:21:01,460 –> 00:21:04,340
\nTogether with the daughter of
\nPharaoh women are the Moabites <\/p>\n
363
\n00:21:04,340 –> 00:21:09,340
\nAmmonites Edomites Zidonians and
\nHittites so a strange woman <\/p>\n
364
\n00:21:09,340 –> 00:21:13,447
\nmeans a woman of these nations
\nthe string of nations that were <\/p>\n
365
\n00:21:13,447 –> 00:21:16,250
\nidolatrous that were in the land
\nand that the nation was <\/p>\n
366
\n00:21:16,250 –> 00:21:19,340
\ninstructed to remove.
\nVerse 2 Of the nations <\/p>\n
367
\n00:21:19,340 –> 00:21:22,487
\nconcerning which Yahweh said to
\nthe children of Israel you shall<\/p>\n
368
\n00:21:22,487 –> 00:21:26,120
\nnot go unto them neither shall
\nthey come unto you for surely <\/p>\n
369
\n00:21:26,120 –> 00:21:29,794
\nand here’s the point they will
\nturn away your heart after their<\/p>\n
370
\n00:21:29,794 –> 00:21:32,000
\ngods.
\nThat’s what this strange woman <\/p>\n
371
\n00:21:32,000 –> 00:21:34,500
\nwill do.
\nYou’ll be turned to idolatry <\/p>\n
372
\n00:21:34,500 –> 00:21:38,690
\nafter their worship.
\nBut Solomon claved to these in <\/p>\n
373
\n00:21:38,690 –> 00:21:41,800
\nlove.
\nVerse 4 When it came to pass <\/p>\n
374
\n00:21:41,800 –> 00:21:44,907
\nwhen Solomon was old his wives
\nturned away his heart after <\/p>\n
375
\n00:21:44,907 –> 00:21:48,400
\nother gods and his heart was not
\nperfect with Yahweh as God as <\/p>\n
376
\n00:21:48,400 –> 00:21:51,200
\nwas the heart of David his
\nfather and this is almost <\/p>\n
377
\n00:21:51,200 –> 00:21:55,340
\nunbelievable isn’t it to read
\nverse 5 The man given the wisdom<\/p>\n
378
\n00:21:55,340 –> 00:21:59,487
\nknowledge and understanding of
\nthe almighty God about the <\/p>\n
379
\n00:21:59,487 –> 00:22:03,574
\nprinciples and good and evil
\ndoes this in verse 5 He went <\/p>\n
380
\n00:22:03,574 –> 00:22:07,767
\nafter Ashtaroth the goddess of
\nthe Zidonians and milked on the <\/p>\n
381
\n00:22:07,767 –> 00:22:11,520
\nabomination the disgusting thing
\nin God’s eyes of the Ammonites <\/p>\n
382
\n00:22:11,520 –> 00:22:16,460
\nand Solomon did evil and not
\ngood in the sight of Yahweh and <\/p>\n
383
\n00:22:16,460 –> 00:22:21,500
\nwent not fully after Yahweh as
\nto David his father But he went <\/p>\n
384
\n00:22:21,500 –> 00:22:24,660
\nfurther verse 7 and built a high
\nplace for Chemosh an abomination<\/p>\n
385
\n00:22:24,660 –> 00:22:28,454
\nof Moab and the hill before
\nJerusalem and for Molech and an <\/p>\n
386
\n00:22:28,454 –> 00:22:31,495
\nabomination of the children of
\nAbbon and likewise he did for <\/p>\n
387
\n00:22:31,495 –> 00:22:36,307
\nall his strange wives and burnt
\nincense and sacrificed for their<\/p>\n
388
\n00:22:36,307 –> 00:22:41,300
\ngods and Yahweh was angry with
\nSolomon because his heart had <\/p>\n
389
\n00:22:41,300 –> 00:22:45,640
\nturned from Yahweh God of Israel
\nwho had appeared to him twice <\/p>\n
390
\n00:22:45,640 –> 00:22:50,347
\nappeared to him twice the first
\nwas of course ask what I will <\/p>\n
391
\n00:22:50,347 –> 00:22:54,034
\ngive thee give me the wisdom
\nknowledge and understanding good<\/p>\n
392
\n00:22:54,034 –> 00:22:57,420
\nand evil which God gave him the
\nsecond when it was one he <\/p>\n
393
\n00:22:57,420 –> 00:23:02,260
\nappeared to him and said if you
\nstay with me if you are in my <\/p>\n
394
\n00:23:02,260 –> 00:23:06,200
\nlaw if you reject idolatry and
\ndon’t do all of those wicked <\/p>\n
395
\n00:23:06,200 –> 00:23:10,070
\nthings then I will give you the
\nDavidic covenant so those are <\/p>\n
396
\n00:23:10,070 –> 00:23:13,320
\nthe two appearances of the
\ngarden of Israel and despite <\/p>\n
397
\n00:23:13,320 –> 00:23:18,960
\nthose says the record the wisest
\nman failed miserably when it <\/p>\n
398
\n00:23:18,960 –> 00:23:23,260
\ncame to being delivered from the
\nstrange woman Nehemiah chapter <\/p>\n
399
\n00:23:23,260 –> 00:23:27,410
\n13 verse 26 to 27 picks up the
\nsame theme when it says if <\/p>\n
400
\n00:23:27,410 –> 00:23:32,180
\nSolomon couldn’t handle this and
\nit’s in the context of the <\/p>\n
401
\n00:23:32,180 –> 00:23:36,020
\npeople of Israel having married
\nstrange wives women of the <\/p>\n
402
\n00:23:36,020 –> 00:23:39,860
\nnations around about because
\nthey lead to idolatry alright <\/p>\n

\nrepresent if that hasn’t done it
\nfor you maybe this one will <\/p>\n

416
\n00:24:37,320 –> 00:24:43,334
\na certain place and it goes down
\nand ends in death does this look<\/p>\n
417
\n00:24:43,334 –> 00:24:47,520
\nlike the process of proverbs 7
\neveryone is tempted when he is <\/p>\n

\nproverbs chapter 7 about well
\nit’s about a lot isn’t it <\/p>\n
422
\n00:25:07,880 –> 00:25:12,920
\nproverbs chapter 7 is the
\npainting of a concept of an <\/p>\n
423
\n00:25:12,920 –> 00:25:19,640
\narchetype of a picture or a
\nstamp leaving the covenant of <\/p>\n

\nout of the simple who have no

426
\n00:25:30,000 –> 00:25:35,120
\nbeguiling nature of sin active

\nis away and she’s operating in
\nthe night did you see that with <\/p>\n
428
\n00:25:39,220 –> 00:25:44,967
\nstolen waters and secret bread
\nshe represents the process of <\/p>\n
429
\n00:25:44,967 –> 00:25:48,614
\nsin and death that’s what’s
\nbeing painted by the father for <\/p>\n
430
\n00:25:48,614 –> 00:25:53,200
\nthe son in proverbs chapter 7
\nthat’s what the strange woman is<\/p>\n

\n00:25:53,200 –> 00:25:57,540
\nrepresenting for the son and for

432
\n00:25:57,540 –> 00:26:00,314
\npicture is it at all of the

435
\n00:26:07,270 –> 00:26:12,480
\nproverbs 7 is really about it’s
\na vivid picture known amongst <\/p>\n
436
\n00:26:12,480 –> 00:26:16,040
\nall societies in mankind that’s
\nbeing used by the father in <\/p>\n
437
\n00:26:16,040 –> 00:26:20,600
\nchapter 7 to instruct jesus
\nchrist about the process of sin <\/p>\n
438
\n00:26:20,600 –> 00:26:25,360
\nand for us his children to see
\nin it the process by which sin <\/p>\n
439
\n00:26:25,360 –> 00:26:31,680
\ndestroys her victims she’s the
\nprocess of sin in the garden of <\/p>\n
440
\n00:26:31,680 –> 00:26:36,340
\neden she’s the process of sin
\nwhen the nation followed into <\/p>\n

442
\n00:26:40,310 –> 00:26:44,000
\nfrom their faith painted as the
\nwife of their youth in chapter 5<\/p>\n
443
\n00:26:44,000 –> 00:26:47,980
\nverse 18 she’s the picture of
\nwhat happens when an ecclesia <\/p>\n
444
\n00:26:47,980 –> 00:26:52,460
\ndeclines into apostasy with the
\ngreatest example being babylon <\/p>\n
445
\n00:26:52,460 –> 00:26:57,640
\nthe great she’s a picture of the

446
\n00:26:57,640 –> 00:27:01,970
\ninto which the wisest of all
\nsolomon himself was snared and <\/p>\n
447
\n00:27:01,970 –> 00:27:06,120
\nit’s the same old process
\nbrothers and sisters from the <\/p>\n
448
\n00:27:06,120 –> 00:27:10,290
\nbeginning in 2nd corinthians
\nchapter 11 verse 3 paul says to <\/p>\n

\n00:27:16,840 –> 00:27:20,600
\nyour minds will be corrupted
\nfrom the simplicity singleness <\/p>\n
452
\n00:27:20,600 –> 00:27:25,940
\nthat is in christ it’s the same
\nprocess in the garden in the <\/p>\n
453
\n00:27:25,940 –> 00:27:28,960
\nbeginning you know when you come
\nto the new testament and look at<\/p>\n

\n00:27:44,320 –> 00:27:48,140
\naway was going to come just look

\nerror that was to come in 2
\nPeter chapter 2 and verse 18 and<\/p>\n
464
\n00:28:18,430 –> 00:28:24,550
\nhe’s speaking of a group who

\ntheir eyes are full of adultery <\/p>\n
466
\n00:28:31,260 –> 00:28:36,520
\nand they cannot cease from sin
\nand they beguile unstable souls <\/p>\n
467
\n00:28:36,520 –> 00:28:41,020
\nand in verse 8 they speak great
\nswelling words of vanity they <\/p>\n

\nallure through the lusts of the

\ndescription of the apostasy and

479
\n00:29:25,360 –> 00:29:28,460
\nthere’s a serpent who beguards

481
\n00:29:31,440 –> 00:29:36,367
\nthrough fornication see Proverbs
\nchapter 7 is the archetype that <\/p>\n
482
\n00:29:36,367 –> 00:29:40,180
\nall this language is taken from
\nin the New Testament describing <\/p>\n
483
\n00:29:40,180 –> 00:29:47,367
\napostasy and falling away okay
\nwell at about this time we <\/p>\n
484
\n00:29:47,367 –> 00:29:50,740
\nshould now have put the pieces
\ntogether and we’ve got <\/p>\n
485
\n00:29:50,740 –> 00:29:53,994
\ncomprehension we’ve got
\nunderstanding of what the book <\/p>\n
486
\n00:29:53,994 –> 00:29:57,900
\nof Proverbs is about now I want
\nto think about this for a moment<\/p>\n
487
\n00:29:57,900 –> 00:30:03,160
\nwe began that with having no
\nknowledge or little knowledge <\/p>\n
488
\n00:30:03,160 –> 00:30:07,660
\nand understanding we set out the
\npieces from the text of the <\/p>\n
489
\n00:30:07,660 –> 00:30:11,240
\nscripture and connected them
\ntogether and at some point there<\/p>\n
490
\n00:30:11,240 –> 00:30:15,180
\nyou would have gone ah I’m
\nbeginning to understand it’s <\/p>\n
491
\n00:30:15,180 –> 00:30:21,000
\nmaking sense but just think
\nabout how that happened what was<\/p>\n
492
\n00:30:21,000 –> 00:30:25,080
\nit like intellectually or
\nmentally as we move to <\/p>\n
493
\n00:30:25,080 –> 00:30:31,180
\ncomprehension what’s it like
\nemotionally and I know I’ve <\/p>\n
494
\n00:30:31,180 –> 00:30:33,840
\ntalked to many brothers and
\nsisters and I know that as we <\/p>\n
495
\n00:30:33,840 –> 00:30:37,070
\ntransition from knowledge to
\ncomprehension it’s <\/p>\n
496
\n00:30:37,070 –> 00:30:41,170
\nintellectually satisfying it’s
\ncomplex things that we’ve put <\/p>\n
497
\n00:30:41,170 –> 00:30:45,660
\ntogether and we get it and our
\nbrain goes I like that but it’s <\/p>\n
498
\n00:30:45,660 –> 00:30:49,780
\nemotional too right we feel wow
\nthere’s an emotional response <\/p>\n
499
\n00:30:49,780 –> 00:30:53,940
\nparticularly because we come and
\nunderstand the father’s words to<\/p>\n
500
\n00:30:53,940 –> 00:30:58,080
\nthe son we understand how the
\nfather thinks about sin as he <\/p>\n
501
\n00:30:58,080 –> 00:31:00,900
\ntalks to us through the book of
\nprophets and said this my <\/p>\n
502
\n00:31:00,900 –> 00:31:06,087
\nchildren is how sin operates in
\nyour life I’m going to give you <\/p>\n
503
\n00:31:06,087 –> 00:31:10,560
\nthe tools he says to be
\ndelivered from her because her <\/p>\n
504
\n00:31:10,560 –> 00:31:15,120
\nend is destruction and death and
\nhell and the grave so it’s an <\/p>\n
505
\n00:31:15,120 –> 00:31:19,740
\nemotional experience it’s also a
\nphysiological one there’s <\/p>\n
506
\n00:31:19,740 –> 00:31:23,320
\nadrenaline there’s chemicals
\nthat go off in our brain there’s<\/p>\n
507
\n00:31:23,320 –> 00:31:26,500
\nheart rate increases there might
\nbe even a slight temperature <\/p>\n
508
\n00:31:26,500 –> 00:31:31,960
\nrise as we come to comprehend so
\nthe process the father’s created<\/p>\n
509
\n00:31:31,960 –> 00:31:36,580
\nfor us of knowledge to
\nunderstanding to wisdom is the <\/p>\n
510
\n00:31:36,580 –> 00:31:39,220
\nway that he’s created and
\npresented his word and his <\/p>\n
511
\n00:31:39,220 –> 00:31:43,635
\nscriptures all right well now
\nthat we have understanding I <\/p>\n
512
\n00:31:43,635 –> 00:31:48,867
\nwant to just do one slide of
\ndropping down another level into<\/p>\n
513
\n00:31:48,867 –> 00:31:51,940
\nthe detail just one because as
\nwe went through proverbs chapter<\/p>\n
514
\n00:31:51,940 –> 00:31:55,860
\nseven you would have seen this
\nverse the good man is not at <\/p>\n
515
\n00:31:55,860 –> 00:32:00,247
\nhome he’s gone on a long journey
\nhe’s taken a bag of money with <\/p>\n
516
\n00:32:00,247 –> 00:32:04,334
\nhim and he will come home at the
\nday appointed what why is that <\/p>\n
517
\n00:32:04,334 –> 00:32:09,140
\nin there because Christ will
\npick up the concept of the good <\/p>\n
518
\n00:32:09,140 –> 00:32:13,300
\nman of the house in Matthew 20
\nverse 11 24 verse 43 Mark 14 <\/p>\n
519
\n00:32:13,300 –> 00:32:17,540
\nverse 14 to refer to himself he
\nwill pick up the concept of <\/p>\n
520
\n00:32:17,540 –> 00:32:20,800
\ngoing on a long journey in Mark
\nchapter 13 verse 34 and other <\/p>\n
521
\n00:32:20,800 –> 00:32:25,280
\nplaces as an aspect of his
\nparables that idea of taking a <\/p>\n
522
\n00:32:25,280 –> 00:32:28,520
\nbag of money with him literally
\nmeans a package or a bag of <\/p>\n
523
\n00:32:28,520 –> 00:32:33,474
\nsilver the idea of redemption
\nwhen Christ left to go to his <\/p>\n
524
\n00:32:33,474 –> 00:32:37,090
\nfather having accomplished his
\nwork the redemptive price the <\/p>\n
525
\n00:32:37,090 –> 00:32:40,660
\nsilver he’ll come home into the
\nday appointed well that’s a <\/p>\n
526
\n00:32:40,660 –> 00:32:43,840
\nthematic isn’t it about Christ
\nand his return and the day of <\/p>\n
527
\n00:32:43,840 –> 00:32:47,820
\nhis coming just packed in there
\nand nestled into the record four<\/p>\n
528
\n00:32:47,820 –> 00:32:53,100
\nkey points that Christ picks up
\nand weaves into his parables and<\/p>\n
529
\n00:32:53,100 –> 00:32:57,310
\ninto his teaching and of course
\nthere’s a lot more of that we <\/p>\n
530
\n00:32:57,310 –> 00:33:04,000
\nneed to move now to wisdom we’ve
\ngot knowledge we understand what<\/p>\n
531
\n00:33:04,000 –> 00:33:09,620
\nit’s about how do we apply it in
\nlife if this is the process <\/p>\n
532
\n00:33:09,620 –> 00:33:14,200
\nbeing painted for us of sin in
\nour lives in other people’s <\/p>\n
533
\n00:33:14,200 –> 00:33:19,040
\nlives in aggregations of people
\nand collectives in society in <\/p>\n
534
\n00:33:19,040 –> 00:33:25,940
\nsystems then how does this apply
\nwhat’s the wisdom for us so what<\/p>\n
535
\n00:33:25,940 –> 00:33:28,180
\nwe’re going to do now we’re
\ngoing to do something a bit <\/p>\n
536
\n00:33:28,180 –> 00:33:33,640
\npractical and I want you to
\nthink about a temptation a sin <\/p>\n
537
\n00:33:33,640 –> 00:33:36,194
\nthat’s particular for you now
\nit’s probably true this I <\/p>\n
538
\n00:33:36,194 –> 00:33:38,687
\nremember someone else saying
\nthis many years ago and I went <\/p>\n
539
\n00:33:38,687 –> 00:33:43,240
\nthat’s really good I remember
\nthat and they said for each of <\/p>\n
540
\n00:33:43,240 –> 00:33:47,020
\nus we will find that there’s one
\nor two things that stand about <\/p>\n
541
\n00:33:47,020 –> 00:33:51,840
\neverything else that are a
\nproblem for us in life right <\/p>\n
542
\n00:33:51,840 –> 00:33:54,760
\nthere’s lots of sins there’s all
\nsorts of things but each of us <\/p>\n
543
\n00:33:54,760 –> 00:33:57,280
\nis going to be different where
\nwe’re confronted with one or two<\/p>\n
544
\n00:33:57,280 –> 00:34:01,820
\nthings particularly and here’s a
\nlist this isn’t my list so the <\/p>\n
545
\n00:34:01,820 –> 00:34:05,600
\nthings we’ve got here are
\nactually an aggregate from other<\/p>\n
546
\n00:34:05,600 –> 00:34:08,000
\nsessions we’ve done this is
\nprobably I think the fifth time <\/p>\n
547
\n00:34:08,000 –> 00:34:12,920
\nthat we’ve done this particular
\nexercise so there’s probably 200<\/p>\n
548
\n00:34:12,920 –> 00:34:19,679
\n250 people sitting behind these
\nsuggestions anger that might be <\/p>\n
549
\n00:34:19,679 –> 00:34:23,659
\nour problem in life we’re an
\nangry person short fuse and it <\/p>\n
550
\n00:34:23,659 –> 00:34:26,659
\nkeeps coming up over and over
\nagain for us and that’s the <\/p>\n
551
\n00:34:26,659 –> 00:34:29,820
\nthing we have to grapple with
\nthis side of the kingdom or <\/p>\n
552
\n00:34:29,820 –> 00:34:34,860
\nviolence associated gambling
\nsome might have a gambling <\/p>\n
553
\n00:34:34,860 –> 00:34:41,067
\naddiction lying we might have a
\nproblem with honesty we might <\/p>\n
554
\n00:34:41,067 –> 00:34:46,420
\njust be compulsive gossipers
\nmight have a hurtful tongue it’s<\/p>\n
555
\n00:34:46,420 –> 00:34:51,120
\nvery quick to hurt people might
\nbe we’re terrible <\/p>\n
556
\n00:34:51,120 –> 00:34:55,806
\nprocrastinators and sorry
\nbrethren it’s a sin proverb sets<\/p>\n
557
\n00:34:55,806 –> 00:35:00,620
\nit out calls it the sloth and
\nthe sluggard we don’t have time <\/p>\n
558
\n00:35:00,620 –> 00:35:05,340
\nthis we look at that but it is
\nprocrastination bad language <\/p>\n
559
\n00:35:05,340 –> 00:35:10,460
\nswear all the time can’t help it
\ncan’t stop it might be greedy of<\/p>\n
560
\n00:35:10,460 –> 00:35:16,520
\ngame envy struggle with alcohol
\nsexual immorality dishonesty <\/p>\n
561
\n00:35:16,520 –> 00:35:21,405
\ncontrol of others hate and
\naddiction I don’t know why I put<\/p>\n
562
\n00:35:21,405 –> 00:35:27,460
\nit there but and coffee drinking
\nis not an addiction so no one <\/p>\n
563
\n00:35:27,460 –> 00:35:30,090
\nchoose that praise of men
\nthere’ll be others all right so <\/p>\n
564
\n00:35:30,090 –> 00:35:33,994
\nI want you to think maybe one of
\nthose is or whatever it is for <\/p>\n
565
\n00:35:33,994 –> 00:35:38,440
\nyou I’ve got my one but I’m not
\ntelling you what it is I’m too <\/p>\n
566
\n00:35:38,440 –> 00:35:42,820
\nembarrassed right so what’s the
\nparticular temptation you’ll <\/p>\n
567
\n00:35:42,820 –> 00:35:46,040
\nknow what it is it’s been there
\nmost of your life and it just <\/p>\n
568
\n00:35:46,040 –> 00:35:50,300
\nkeeps cropping up at the most
\ninobtune times right so think of<\/p>\n
569
\n00:35:50,300 –> 00:35:54,240
\nwhat that is now we’re going to
\ngo through Proverbs chapter <\/p>\n
570
\n00:35:54,240 –> 00:35:57,320
\nseven I’m going to see that it’s
\na process every time we fall <\/p>\n
571
\n00:35:57,320 –> 00:36:00,854
\ninto that again Proverbs chapter
\nseven describes the process now <\/p>\n
572
\n00:36:00,854 –> 00:36:04,920
\nyou have this in front of you on
\nyour sheets so I’ll just quickly<\/p>\n
573
\n00:36:04,920 –> 00:36:09,360
\nturn it up and we’ll just go
\nthrough Proverbs seven and we’ll<\/p>\n
574
\n00:36:09,360 –> 00:36:12,460
\nsee that yes indeed this is
\nexactly what happens every time <\/p>\n
575
\n00:36:12,460 –> 00:36:16,140
\nwe fall back into the trap of
\nthat sin that thing we struggle <\/p>\n
576
\n00:36:16,140 –> 00:36:25,090
\nwith so it all begins in verse
\nseven I behold among the simple <\/p>\n
577
\n00:36:25,090 –> 00:36:28,220
\nones I discerned among the
\nyouths a young man void of <\/p>\n
578
\n00:36:28,220 –> 00:36:32,800
\nunderstanding so here we are in
\nour lives nothing going on we <\/p>\n
579
\n00:36:32,800 –> 00:36:35,620
\nhaven’t been doing our daily
\nbible readings we’ve been away <\/p>\n
580
\n00:36:35,620 –> 00:36:38,460
\nfrom the truth for a while we
\nhaven’t been around brethren and<\/p>\n
581
\n00:36:38,460 –> 00:36:42,540
\nsisters we’ve been into other
\nstuff and our reservoir of the <\/p>\n
582
\n00:36:42,540 –> 00:36:46,710
\nword of God’s going down and
\nit’s got empty and here we are <\/p>\n
583
\n00:36:46,710 –> 00:36:51,520
\nwe’re now the simple young man
\nvoid of understanding and we’re <\/p>\n
584
\n00:36:51,520 –> 00:36:56,460
\npassing through the street and
\nwe’re coming close to the corner<\/p>\n
585
\n00:36:56,460 –> 00:37:02,740
\nof where that problem is and
\nthen we go the way to her house <\/p>\n
586
\n00:37:02,740 –> 00:37:05,960
\nsee in verse nine the
\nprogression there’s always a <\/p>\n
587
\n00:37:05,960 –> 00:37:09,530
\nprogression it’s twilight then
\nit’s evening then there’s a <\/p>\n
588
\n00:37:09,530 –> 00:37:13,230
\nblack and dark night it’s the
\nprogression of our sin and <\/p>\n
589
\n00:37:13,230 –> 00:37:18,540
\nbehold there meets us in the
\nmost inopportune time the time <\/p>\n
590
\n00:37:18,540 –> 00:37:21,420
\nof our weakness when we’ve been
\nneglecting the scriptures and <\/p>\n
591
\n00:37:21,420 –> 00:37:25,260
\nthe word or whether there’s our
\ncircumstance in life are making <\/p>\n
592
\n00:37:25,260 –> 00:37:30,327
\nus vulnerable and there our sin
\nis behold there meets us our sin<\/p>\n
593
\n00:37:30,327 –> 00:37:35,910
\nin the attire of a harlot and
\nsubtle of harlot she’s loud and <\/p>\n
594
\n00:37:35,910 –> 00:37:38,720
\nstubborn and her feet abide not
\nin her house and we get <\/p>\n
595
\n00:37:38,720 –> 00:37:41,860
\nconfronted right in the face
\nwith our problem the thing we <\/p>\n
596
\n00:37:41,860 –> 00:37:46,090
\nstruggle with but she just
\ndoesn’t wait there she’s without<\/p>\n

\n00:37:46,090 –> 00:37:49,120
\nshe’s in the street she’s lying
\nat wait at every corner that <\/p>\n
598
\n00:37:49,120 –> 00:37:53,400
\nthing we struggle with is always
\nout there at every corner of our<\/p>\n
599
\n00:37:53,400 –> 00:37:58,940
\nlife just really waiting for us
\nverse 13 and it catches us <\/p>\n
600
\n00:37:58,940 –> 00:38:04,970
\nkisses us and with an impudent
\nface says I have peace offerings<\/p>\n
601
\n00:38:04,970 –> 00:38:08,980
\nwith me this day I’ve paid my

\n00:38:18,400 –> 00:38:21,340
\nmy bed with cap and coverings of
\ntapestry and there’s this <\/p>\n
605
\n00:38:21,340 –> 00:38:24,720
\nbeautiful picture of the sin is
\ngoing to be wonderful their <\/p>\n

\ncarved works fine linen of Egypt
\na perfume bed with myrrh and <\/p>\n

608
\n00:38:33,600 –> 00:38:36,980
\nhave let us take our love to the
\nmorning and our solace ourselves<\/p>\n
609
\n00:38:36,980 –> 00:38:41,570
\nwith loves because Christ’s away
\nthe good man’s not a come home <\/p>\n
610
\n00:38:41,570 –> 00:38:45,060
\nhe’s gone on a long journey
\ntaking a bag with money with him<\/p>\n
611
\n00:38:45,060 –> 00:38:47,760
\nto come home in the day
\nappointed there’s low risk here <\/p>\n
612
\n00:38:47,760 –> 00:38:50,874
\nyou’re never going to be held to
\naccount nobody’s going to find <\/p>\n
613
\n00:38:50,874 –> 00:38:58,410
\nout and she keeps persisting our
\nparticular sin our particular <\/p>\n
614
\n00:38:58,410 –> 00:39:02,980
\nissue we struggle with with fair
\nspeech he causes us to yield <\/p>\n
615
\n00:39:02,980 –> 00:39:08,280
\nwith a flattering ellipse we’re
\nforced and then our break point <\/p>\n
616
\n00:39:08,280 –> 00:39:13,080
\noccurs and there’s no recovery
\nafter that he goes after her <\/p>\n
617
\n00:39:13,080 –> 00:39:17,294
\nstraight away and we give up
\nresisting an ox goes to the <\/p>\n
618
\n00:39:17,294 –> 00:39:19,780
\nslaughter as a fool to the

\n00:39:19,780 –> 00:39:22,880
\ndart strikes through our liver

620
\n00:39:22,880 –> 00:39:27,100
\nknowing not it is for our life
\nand wisdom says listen to me oh <\/p>\n
621

\nyou children listen to my mouth
\ndon’t let your heart decline <\/p>\n
622
\n00:39:31,690 –> 00:39:35,020
\ninto the way of your sin or go

623
\n00:39:35,020 –> 00:39:39,880
\nyou’re not the first one over
\nthousands of years from the <\/p>\n
624
\n00:39:39,880 –> 00:39:44,980
\nbeginning she’s cast down many
\nwounded many strong or mighty <\/p>\n
625
\n00:39:44,980 –> 00:39:49,580
\nmen have been slammed by her and
\nthe way of that way or that path<\/p>\n
626
\n00:39:49,580 –> 00:39:54,080
\nof sin is hell the grave going
\ndown to the chambers of death <\/p>\n
627
\n00:39:54,080 –> 00:39:58,710
\nit’s a description isn’t it of
\nour problem out there waiting <\/p>\n
628
\n00:39:58,710 –> 00:40:02,080
\nfor us at every corner lurking
\nwhen our guard’s down when we <\/p>\n
629
\n00:40:02,080 –> 00:40:05,280
\nhaven’t got the word of god in
\nour head and she gets us and <\/p>\n
630
\n00:40:05,280 –> 00:40:09,000
\ntakes us down the path to death
\nit’s a description of our <\/p>\n
631
\n00:40:09,000 –> 00:40:15,020
\nstruggle with sin alright well
\nthat’s the picture of Proverbs 7<\/p>\n
632
\n00:40:15,020 –> 00:40:19,670
\nand of the strange one of the
\nbook of Proverbs but it’s said <\/p>\n
633
\n00:40:19,670 –> 00:40:22,454
\nin chapter one that one of the
\npurposes one of the promises is <\/p>\n
634
\n00:40:22,454 –> 00:40:26,730
\nit would give us an ability to
\nplan to put a strategy around <\/p>\n
635
\n00:40:26,730 –> 00:40:31,180
\ndealing to it it would give us
\nsubtlety to the simple and the <\/p>\n
636
\n00:40:31,180 –> 00:40:34,700
\nyoung man knowledge and
\ndiscretion it would explain to <\/p>\n
637
\n00:40:34,700 –> 00:40:38,880
\nus how sin works in these
\npassages the father explains the<\/p>\n
638
\n00:40:38,880 –> 00:40:41,640
\nlord jesus christ this is how
\nsin will operate in the people <\/p>\n
639
\n00:40:41,640 –> 00:40:45,420
\nthat you’re coming to save this
\nis how sin will operate in the <\/p>\n
640
\n00:40:45,420 –> 00:40:49,100
\npeople that you want to judge
\nand provide righteous judgment <\/p>\n
641
\n00:40:49,100 –> 00:40:54,520
\nto this is how the principles of
\ngood and evil operate in terms <\/p>\n
642
\n00:40:54,520 –> 00:40:59,440
\nof sin Proverbs chapter 22 verse
\n3 it says a prudent man foresees<\/p>\n
643
\n00:40:59,440 –> 00:41:04,440
\nthe evil hides himself but the
\nsimple pass on and are punished <\/p>\n
644
\n00:41:04,440 –> 00:41:08,800
\nso we need to create a plan and
\nthat’s our task for the <\/p>\n
645
\n00:41:08,800 –> 00:41:12,760
\nremainder of this morning but
\nwe’re going to do it in a <\/p>\n
646
\n00:41:12,760 –> 00:41:15,920
\nparticular way see one of the
\nthemes of the book of Proverbs <\/p>\n
647
\n00:41:15,920 –> 00:41:20,710
\nis that wise people develop an
\nability to seek counsel from <\/p>\n
648
\n00:41:20,710 –> 00:41:24,410
\nothers they also develop the
\nability to give counsel to <\/p>\n
649
\n00:41:24,410 –> 00:41:26,770
\nothers and we’re going to look
\nat this in some detail in <\/p>\n
650
\n00:41:26,770 –> 00:41:29,300
\nanother session later in the
\nweek but we’re going to just <\/p>\n
651
\n00:41:29,300 –> 00:41:32,090
\nintroduce this idea and we’re
\ngoing to use this concept of <\/p>\n
652
\n00:41:32,090 –> 00:41:35,360
\nwise counsel so in Proverbs
\nchapter 11 verse 14 on the <\/p>\n
653
\n00:41:35,360 –> 00:41:40,960
\nscreen it says where no counsel
\nis the people fall but in a <\/p>\n
654
\n00:41:40,960 –> 00:41:47,010
\nmultitude of counsellors there
\nis safety so today I don’t know <\/p>\n
655
\n00:41:47,010 –> 00:41:52,040
\nhow many people in this tent 120
\npeople we’ve got 120 counsellors<\/p>\n
656
\n00:41:52,040 –> 00:41:56,560
\n120 people different experiences
\nin life at different points in <\/p>\n
657
\n00:41:56,560 –> 00:42:02,200
\nlife 120 people have made stuff
\nup in life learnt lessons done <\/p>\n
658
\n00:42:02,200 –> 00:42:05,460
\nsome great things and made right
\ndecisions and good things in <\/p>\n
659
\n00:42:05,460 –> 00:42:09,300
\nlife and we can share that as
\ncounsellors and why wouldn’t we <\/p>\n
660
\n00:42:09,300 –> 00:42:13,560
\nwant to do that tap into the
\nwisdom collectively of 120 150 <\/p>\n
661
\n00:42:13,560 –> 00:42:17,720
\nother people so that’s one of
\nthe principles of the book of <\/p>\n
662
\n00:42:17,720 –> 00:42:21,340
\nProverbs the ability to seek
\nwise counsel so we’re going to <\/p>\n
663
\n00:42:21,340 –> 00:42:24,660
\njust tap a little bit in that
\ntoday we’ve got knowledge of the<\/p>\n
664
\n00:42:24,660 –> 00:42:29,430
\nstrange woman we understand what
\nshe is and how she operates sin <\/p>\n
665
\n00:42:29,430 –> 00:42:33,210
\nin every context but what we
\nwant to do now is seek some <\/p>\n
666
\n00:42:33,210 –> 00:42:37,280
\nwisdom by getting a little bit
\nof collective counsel so what <\/p>\n
667
\n00:42:37,280 –> 00:42:41,980
\nwe’re going to do I’ll give you
\n5 to 10 minutes you’re going to <\/p>\n
668
\n00:42:41,980 –> 00:42:47,140
\ntalk in groups of 2 or 3 so it
\ndoesn’t matter which so people <\/p>\n
669
\n00:42:47,140 –> 00:42:49,080
\nnext to you if you don’t
\nparticularly like the person <\/p>\n
670
\n00:42:49,080 –> 00:42:53,020
\nnext to you feel free to stand
\nup and find someone else oh that<\/p>\n
671
\n00:42:53,020 –> 00:42:56,340
\nmight be too obvious so in
\ngroups of 2 or 3 and this is our<\/p>\n
672
\n00:42:56,340 –> 00:43:00,720
\ntask what would the important
\nelements be in a plan or <\/p>\n
673
\n00:43:00,720 –> 00:43:03,600
\nstrategy to avoid sin you don’t
\nhave to share what your <\/p>\n
674
\n00:43:03,600 –> 00:43:08,200
\nparticular one is but that’s
\nwhat we want to do so you might <\/p>\n
675
\n00:43:08,200 –> 00:43:11,927
\nbe able to generalize it what
\nare the important elements in a <\/p>\n
676
\n00:43:11,927 –> 00:43:16,740
\nplan or strategy to deal with
\nour sin now there are green <\/p>\n
677
\n00:43:16,740 –> 00:43:20,230
\nwords on the sheet okay so
\nthey’re really important because<\/p>\n
678
\n00:43:20,230 –> 00:43:23,380
\nthat’s where wisdom explains to
\nus as she goes through and <\/p>\n
679
\n00:43:23,380 –> 00:43:26,920
\nexplains the strange woman which
\ngives us some really great <\/p>\n
680
\n00:43:26,920 –> 00:43:31,487
\nsalient advice about what should
\ngo into the plan you’d also like<\/p>\n
681
\n00:43:31,487 –> 00:43:35,080
\nto read proverbs chapter 4 verse
\n13 to 15 which is not on your <\/p>\n
682
\n00:43:35,080 –> 00:43:38,720
\nsheet but it’s some really good
\nadvice around a plan or strategy<\/p>\n
683
\n00:43:38,720 –> 00:43:46,090
\nand proverbs chapter 6 verse 20
\nto 25 so that’s our task does <\/p>\n
684
\n00:43:46,090 –> 00:43:52,034
\neverybody understand what we’re
\ngoing to do okay so just in the <\/p>\n
685
\n00:43:52,034 –> 00:43:58,160
\ngroups of 2 or 3 and I’ll give
\nyou 5 to 10 minutes alright <\/p>\n
686
\n00:43:58,160 –> 00:44:04,100
\nwe’re going to have to bring all
\nthat conversation in there’s a <\/p>\n
687
\n00:44:04,100 –> 00:44:07,580
\nlot going on I can see some
\nlisten to instructions really <\/p>\n
688
\n00:44:07,580 –> 00:44:11,040
\nwell groups of 2 or 3 there’s a
\ngroup of 9 in the middle of the <\/p>\n
689
\n00:44:11,040 –> 00:44:14,200
\nhall there probably all saw it
\njust started glow with the <\/p>\n
690
\n00:44:14,200 –> 00:44:18,240
\ncollective wisdom that was
\ncoming so hopefully there will <\/p>\n
691
\n00:44:18,240 –> 00:44:21,327
\nbe some really good points now
\nwhat I would have liked to do is<\/p>\n
692
\n00:44:21,327 –> 00:44:24,020
\ngot a big white board up here
\nand then get the collective <\/p>\n
693
\n00:44:24,020 –> 00:44:27,387
\nwisdom up there summarise it and
\nhave it all ready for us but we <\/p>\n
694
\n00:44:27,387 –> 00:44:29,690
\ndon’t have time to do that so
\ninstead what I’m going to do is <\/p>\n
695
\n00:44:29,690 –> 00:44:32,760
\nthis I’m going to give you a
\npage which is the collective <\/p>\n
696
\n00:44:32,760 –> 00:44:39,100
\nviews and wisdom and inputs of
\nmaybe 200 250 brethren and <\/p>\n
697
\n00:44:39,100 –> 00:44:44,590
\nsisters it includes Canadians
\nand Australians and Kiwis and <\/p>\n
698
\n00:44:44,590 –> 00:44:48,440
\nAmericans and Californiasts
\nwhich are a subbreed of <\/p>\n
699
\n00:44:48,440 –> 00:44:55,850
\nAmericans so there’s a range of
\ncollective wisdom and counsel <\/p>\n
700
\n00:44:55,850 –> 00:44:59,220
\nthat’s sitting in this slide so
\nthese are all suggestions and <\/p>\n
701
\n00:44:59,220 –> 00:45:02,540
\nideas so what I would like is
\nrather than get it all from here<\/p>\n
702
\n00:45:02,540 –> 00:45:07,400
\nif you have something that’s not
\non here and you think it really <\/p>\n
703
\n00:45:07,400 –> 00:45:11,720
\nshould be come to me tell me
\nwhat it is and we’ll get it <\/p>\n
704
\n00:45:11,720 –> 00:45:15,900
\nincluded here so the next time I
\ncan say it’s not 250 people it’s<\/p>\n
705
\n00:45:15,900 –> 00:45:20,300
\nsort of like 400 odd people and
\nwe can build collective wisdom <\/p>\n
706
\n00:45:20,300 –> 00:45:23,140
\nyou’ll see the fonts getting
\nsmaller and smaller every time I<\/p>\n
707
\n00:45:23,140 –> 00:45:26,207
\ndo this so we’ll probably have
\nto put it onto two pages but <\/p>\n
708
\n00:45:26,207 –> 00:45:31,050
\nhere you go here’s some of the
\ntop ideas to include in a plan <\/p>\n
709
\n00:45:31,050 –> 00:45:36,860
\nfor sin first acknowledge it you
\nhave to come to the light you <\/p>\n
710
\n00:45:36,860 –> 00:45:41,320
\nhave to perceive what the evil
\nis and accept that you have a <\/p>\n
711
\n00:45:41,320 –> 00:45:46,460
\npersonal problem and issue with
\nthat sin biblical concept as we <\/p>\n
712
\n00:45:46,460 –> 00:45:51,230
\nconfess it what are my
\nparticular temptations or <\/p>\n
713
\n00:45:51,230 –> 00:45:54,160
\nstruggles and they’re different
\nfor different people work out <\/p>\n
714
\n00:45:54,160 –> 00:45:59,074
\nwhy why is that an issue for you
\nwhat’s sitting behind it so <\/p>\n
715
\n00:45:59,074 –> 00:46:03,080
\nthere needs to be an
\nacknowledgement we’ve got to <\/p>\n
716
\n00:46:03,080 –> 00:46:06,580
\nstop denying that we actually
\nhave an issue so that’s the <\/p>\n
717
\n00:46:06,580 –> 00:46:11,080
\nfirst step second one be
\nmotivated think about the harm <\/p>\n
718
\n00:46:11,080 –> 00:46:16,160
\nthat it causes you to the people
\naround you think about the <\/p>\n
719
\n00:46:16,160 –> 00:46:20,200
\nbreaches of trust that might be
\ninvolved think about the guilt <\/p>\n
720
\n00:46:20,200 –> 00:46:24,890
\nyou hold think about the
\nresources or time it takes and <\/p>\n
721
\n00:46:24,890 –> 00:46:29,227
\ndenies from others or other
\nthings what would it be like to <\/p>\n
722
\n00:46:29,227 –> 00:46:33,040
\nbe freed of it to not have the
\nguilt to not have the bad <\/p>\n
723
\n00:46:33,040 –> 00:46:39,820
\nfeeling about that sin or that
\nissue so be motivated stop be <\/p>\n
724
\n00:46:39,820 –> 00:46:43,910
\naware about it and avoid it this
\nwas a really good session you <\/p>\n
725
\n00:46:43,910 –> 00:46:48,280
\nwould have seen these throughout
\nthe Proverbs passages you looked<\/p>\n
726
\n00:46:48,280 –> 00:46:52,400
\nat it’s be aware what the
\ntriggers are what place does it <\/p>\n
727
\n00:46:52,400 –> 00:46:56,860
\nhappen who does it happen with
\nwhat state are you in mentally <\/p>\n
728
\n00:46:56,860 –> 00:47:00,400
\nor emotionally when you’re
\nvulnerable to that thing work <\/p>\n
729
\n00:47:00,400 –> 00:47:04,640
\nout what the circumstances are
\nand do what Proverbs says avoid <\/p>\n
730
\n00:47:04,640 –> 00:47:10,640
\nit the key terms in scripture
\naround it are flee avoid don’t <\/p>\n
731
\n00:47:10,640 –> 00:47:16,600
\ngo there this is a good one turn
\nup Matthew chapter 5 verse 29 <\/p>\n
732
\n00:47:16,600 –> 00:47:19,800
\nwork out what you’re going to
\nhave to sacrifice because it’s <\/p>\n
733
\n00:47:19,800 –> 00:47:22,980
\ngoing to involve sacrificing
\nsomething because you do it <\/p>\n
734
\n00:47:22,980 –> 00:47:26,190
\nbecause there’s something good
\nabout it Matthew chapter 5 verse<\/p>\n
735
\n00:47:26,190 –> 00:47:29,980
\n29 the Lord gives us some very
\npowerful advice about something <\/p>\n
736
\n00:47:29,980 –> 00:47:33,520
\nthat should be in our plan our
\nstrategy for dealing with sin <\/p>\n
737
\n00:47:33,520 –> 00:47:36,560
\nand he puts it in the context
\nsame context as Proverbs chapter<\/p>\n
738
\n00:47:36,560 –> 00:47:42,360
\n7 of the strange woman he says
\nyou’ve heard it was said by them<\/p>\n
739
\n00:47:42,360 –> 00:47:45,040
\nof old time you shall not commit
\nadultery but I say to you that <\/p>\n
740
\n00:47:45,040 –> 00:47:49,400
\nwhoever looks on a woman to lust
\nafter who has committed adultery<\/p>\n
741
\n00:47:49,400 –> 00:47:52,240
\nwith her already in his heart
\nand here’s his instructions <\/p>\n
742
\n00:47:52,240 –> 00:47:57,700
\nhere’s his input to our plan if
\nthy right I offend thee pluck it<\/p>\n
743
\n00:47:57,700 –> 00:48:01,860
\nout and cast it from thee for it
\nis profitable for thee that one <\/p>\n
744
\n00:48:01,860 –> 00:48:05,740
\nof thy members should perish and
\nnot thy whole body be cast into <\/p>\n
745
\n00:48:05,740 –> 00:48:10,540
\nhell and to death and if thy
\nright hand offend thee cut it <\/p>\n
746
\n00:48:10,540 –> 00:48:14,340
\noff so our singing and our
\nactions associated with that sin<\/p>\n
747
\n00:48:14,340 –> 00:48:18,120
\nfor it is profitable for thee
\nthat one of thy members should <\/p>\n
748
\n00:48:18,120 –> 00:48:21,900
\nperish and not that thy whole
\nbody should be cast into hell so<\/p>\n
749
\n00:48:21,900 –> 00:48:23,900
\nChrist is telling us you’re
\ngoing to have to take drastic <\/p>\n
750
\n00:48:23,900 –> 00:48:27,050
\naction and what’s the thing
\nyou’re going to have to <\/p>\n
751
\n00:48:27,050 –> 00:48:31,780
\nsacrifice in order to overcome
\nthat sin that should be in our <\/p>\n
752
\n00:48:31,780 –> 00:48:36,290
\nplan and in our strategy don’t
\nstart don’t go there the <\/p>\n
753
\n00:48:36,290 –> 00:48:40,940
\nbiblical terms are avoid flee
\ndepart protect guard you can see<\/p>\n
754
\n00:48:40,940 –> 00:48:44,880
\nthe ideas saying just work out
\nwhat it is in your plan and <\/p>\n
755
\n00:48:44,880 –> 00:48:48,820
\nstrategy that means you don’t
\neven go there you’re not that <\/p>\n
756
\n00:48:48,820 –> 00:48:53,660
\nyoung man going the way to her
\nhouse you won’t be on the corner<\/p>\n
757
\n00:48:53,660 –> 00:48:57,250
\nshe’s in you won’t be out there
\nin the dark and black night you <\/p>\n
758
\n00:48:57,250 –> 00:49:00,480
\nwon’t be vulnerable work out
\nwhat it is that you need to do <\/p>\n
759
\n00:49:00,480 –> 00:49:05,800
\nin life so you don’t even go
\nthere replace it so the other <\/p>\n
760
\n00:49:05,800 –> 00:49:09,920
\nwise counsel from these brethren
\nand sisters find another good <\/p>\n
761
\n00:49:09,920 –> 00:49:14,690
\nhabit to replace it develop your
\nsense of good and evil right and<\/p>\n
762
\n00:49:14,690 –> 00:49:19,220
\nwrong from the bible the bible
\ndoes work read it and make it a <\/p>\n
763
\n00:49:19,220 –> 00:49:23,660
\ndaily diet we know that don’t we
\nthink about the days where we do<\/p>\n
764
\n00:49:23,660 –> 00:49:27,580
\nour readings we do our study we
\ngo to work and we’re much better<\/p>\n
765
\n00:49:27,580 –> 00:49:31,680
\nmindset aren’t we much better
\nequipped to deal with whatever <\/p>\n
766
\n00:49:31,680 –> 00:49:35,240
\ntemptations but we haven’t done
\nour daily bible readings we <\/p>\n
767
\n00:49:35,240 –> 00:49:38,850
\nhaven’t really been in it for a
\nweek or two we’re much more <\/p>\n
768
\n00:49:38,850 –> 00:49:41,540
\nvulnerable so replace it with
\nsomething positive with the <\/p>\n
769
\n00:49:41,540 –> 00:49:44,400
\nscriptures and we would have
\nseen that theme throughout those<\/p>\n
770
\n00:49:44,400 –> 00:49:49,900
\nproverbs passages and get help
\npray to the heavenly father to <\/p>\n
771
\n00:49:49,900 –> 00:49:54,000
\nhelp us avail of the forgiveness
\nin christ because he gets it <\/p>\n
772
\n00:49:54,000 –> 00:50:00,420
\ndon’t surrender it’s a fight
\nchrist also gets there and if <\/p>\n

775
\n00:50:09,570 –> 00:50:13,440
\nthere’s some good collective
\nwisdom about some top ideas that<\/p>\n
776
\n00:50:13,440 –> 00:50:17,820
\nshould go into our strategy our

\nbecomes more and more wise i’d <\/p>\n
780
\n00:50:29,620 –> 00:50:33,100
\nlike to finish by this great
\npassage in the epistle john <\/p>\n
781
\n00:50:33,100 –> 00:50:36,254
\nwe’re looking at the epistle of
\njohn in the first session so <\/p>\n
782
\n00:50:36,254 –> 00:50:39,880
\ni’ve got this fantastic passage
\nbecause it takes all the ideas <\/p>\n
783
\n00:50:39,880 –> 00:50:42,980
\nthat we’ve seen in the book of
\nproverbs and now that we’re <\/p>\n
784
\n00:50:42,980 –> 00:50:46,160
\nthinking the way the father
\nthinks about sin the way he’s <\/p>\n
785
\n00:50:46,160 –> 00:50:49,480
\nexpressed the idea and the
\nprocess to the son and to us as <\/p>\n
