\n00:00:04,520 –> 00:00:08,000
\nsix, Our speaker, his brother HP
\nMansfield. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:08,480 –> 00:00:13,960
\nHis general title is Before the
\nDeluge and today’s topic, A <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:14,000 –> 00:00:17,000
\nDoomed World.
\nBrother Purse. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:22,720 –> 00:00:27,520
\nMy dear brethren and sisters in
\nChrist Jesus, in our talk <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:27,520 –> 00:00:31,640
\nyesterday we introduced the 6th
\nchapter of Genesis, which <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:31,640 –> 00:00:33,800
\nrecords the world before the
\nflood. <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:35,160 –> 00:00:38,040
\nWe saw that there was a world
\nproblem and there was an <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:38,040 –> 00:00:42,640
\necclesial problem, and it was
\nreally the ecclesial problem <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:42,640 –> 00:00:46,840
\nthat projected the judgement
\nthat fell upon that world. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:48,120 –> 00:00:50,960
\nIf it was only a matter of the
\nworld, God could have dealt with<\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:50,960 –> 00:00:54,600
\nthat and left the world as it
\nwas and the ecclesia developing <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:54,600 –> 00:00:57,360
\ntherein.
\nBut once the ecclesia had <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:57,360 –> 00:01:01,800
\ndrifted, as it had in the case
\nof Noah’s day, then of course <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:01,960 –> 00:01:04,599
\njudgement alone waited that
\nwill. <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:06,640 –> 00:01:10,280
\nThe world of that state was in
\nan evil state, as we pointed out<\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:10,280 –> 00:01:13,560
\nyesterday.
\nIt was not so much an idolatrous<\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:13,560 –> 00:01:18,120
\nstate as a godless state, a
\nblasphemous state, when every <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:18,120 –> 00:01:21,520
\nprinciple of righteousness was
\nset aside, and self itself was <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:21,520 –> 00:01:24,760
\nworshipped.
\nSo we have it in verse 4 of that<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:24,760 –> 00:01:27,760
\nchapter, the 6th chapter.
\nThere were giants of the earth <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:27,760 –> 00:01:31,080
\nin those days, and also after,
\nwhen the sons of God came in <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:31,080 –> 00:01:35,200
\nunto the daughters of men, and
\nthey bear children to them. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:35,960 –> 00:01:39,040
\nThere were giants in the earth,
\nand that seems by the words of <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:39,040 –> 00:01:42,520
\nthat verse, as though those
\ngiants of the earth attracted <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:42,760 –> 00:01:47,240
\nthe the sons of God.
\nThose giants of the earth were <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:47,240 –> 00:01:51,920
\nnot so much giants in stature as
\ngiants in crime and in power. <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:52,720 –> 00:01:57,720
\nThey were giants of in industry
\nand in commerce and in politics.<\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:58,400 –> 00:02:01,320
\nAnd the word that has translated
\ngiants, the word nephilim, <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:01,560 –> 00:02:03,720
\nreally means that they were
\nfallen ones. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:04,040 –> 00:02:08,080
\nThey were men like Nimrod, who
\ncame afterward a giant in the <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:08,080 –> 00:02:12,200
\nearth as far as his influence
\nwas concerned, but desperately <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:12,200 –> 00:02:15,240
\nwicked as far as his
\nrelationships with Almighty God.<\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:16,200 –> 00:02:18,920
\nAnd these were not only giants,
\nbut they were mighty men of <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:18,920 –> 00:02:21,680
\nrenown.
\nAnd the term there, the Hebrew <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:21,680 –> 00:02:25,960
\nterm there can imply that they
\nwere military men skewed in war,<\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:26,640 –> 00:02:28,600
\nbut they were skewed in war like
\nEnos. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:28,600 –> 00:02:32,080
\nThey were morally depraved.
\nAnd this was the world that was <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:32,080 –> 00:02:35,720
\ndeveloping at that time.
\nThey are, we are told in that <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:35,720 –> 00:02:41,080
\n4th, 1st mighty men, which were
\nevolved men of renown, so that <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:41,080 –> 00:02:43,360
\nhere we are.
\nThey were men of renown, or as <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:43,360 –> 00:02:45,720
\nthe word of the Hebrew means,
\nmen of name. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:46,160 –> 00:02:49,120
\nThey’re going to establish their
\nname of the earth and they’re <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:49,120 –> 00:02:52,600
\ngoing to call their possessions
\nafter their name because they <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:52,600 –> 00:02:56,280
\nwant that name to remain forever
\nand they think they’re building <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:56,280 –> 00:02:58,920
\nfor perpetuity.
\nThey’re going to establish their<\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:58,920 –> 00:03:01,600
\npower and their might or their
\nbusiness, and that’s going to <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:01,600 –> 00:03:05,720
\nlast over for for generation
\nafter generation. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:06,120 –> 00:03:08,280
\nThat’s what we’re told in the
\n49th Psalm. <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:08,720 –> 00:03:12,000
\nThat’s what we see in the Earth
\ntoday, and the world is building<\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:12,000 –> 00:03:15,320
\nup its resources in such a way
\nthat the world imagines that <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:15,320 –> 00:03:21,480
\nthose resources will never fail.
\nThey feel that the future looms <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:21,480 –> 00:03:26,080
\nbefore them in the interminable
\ndistance, and so they’re <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:26,080 –> 00:03:28,960
\nbuilding up their material
\npossessions, they’re building up<\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:28,960 –> 00:03:32,400
\ntheir material technology, and
\nthey imagine that these things <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:32,400 –> 00:03:35,680
\nare going to last forever.
\nAnd that’s their philosophy at <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:35,680 –> 00:03:37,840
\nthis time.
\nThey are mediable now. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:38,400 –> 00:03:40,960
\nThey set themselves high above
\ntheir fellows. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:41,160 –> 00:03:45,600
\nThey care not for God or man.
\nAnd so we read in verse 5 that <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:45,600 –> 00:03:48,960
\nGod saw that the wickedness of
\nman was great in the earth. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:49,600 –> 00:03:52,520
\nAnd the Hebrew word that’s
\ntranslated wickedness, there is <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:52,520 –> 00:03:55,560
\na Hebrew word that signifies to
\nbreak in pieces. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:56,080 –> 00:03:59,400
\nThey broke in pieces the
\nestablished order. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:59,720 –> 00:04:04,000
\nThey destroyed every law of
\nrestraint they got not going to <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:04,000 –> 00:04:08,680
\nbe held in by anything.
\nThey harm themselves and their <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:08,680 –> 00:04:12,640
\nothers by so doing.
\nAnd that very word suggests all <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:12,640 –> 00:04:17,880
\nthat, that it is a a breaking in
\npieces of an established order. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:18,200 –> 00:04:23,240
\nIt is a matter of destroying
\nevery law of restraint and of <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:23,240 –> 00:04:26,120
\nharming others and themselves in
\nso doing. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:26,440 –> 00:04:28,360
\nLook at your world about you
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:28,600 –> 00:04:32,160
\nIsn’t that the picture that
\npresents itself today has every <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:32,160 –> 00:04:35,600
\nstandard and set aside and men
\nare pleasing themselves. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:36,320 –> 00:04:38,320
\nIsn’t it?
\nNow that we see every nor of <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:38,320 –> 00:04:41,560
\nrestraint removed, the men
\nimagine that pleasure is <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:41,560 –> 00:04:46,240
\nobtained in in getting what they
\nwant, What I want, what I <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:46,240 –> 00:04:49,800
\nbelieve, what I’m gonna do.
\nThat’s the philosophy of today, <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:50,240 –> 00:04:53,000
\nand that’s why the world is such
\na happy place. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:53,240 –> 00:04:57,560
\nSo happy that violence is
\nincreasing on every side, so <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:57,560 –> 00:05:01,800
\nhappy that there’s no amity even
\nit between the employer and the <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:01,800 –> 00:05:04,400
\nemployee.
\nAnd men are miserable and <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:04,400 –> 00:05:06,800
\nunhappy no matter what they’ve
\ngot. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:07,320 –> 00:05:10,120
\nThey imagine that happiness is
\nimmaterial possessions. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:10,320 –> 00:05:13,200
\nNever did they make a greater
\nmistake than that, because <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:13,200 –> 00:05:15,880
\nhappiness is not fairly material
\npossessions. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:16,080 –> 00:05:20,040
\nIt’s fairly those things that we
\ngive ourselves to when we make <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:20,120 –> 00:05:23,640
\nprinciple of sacrifice.
\nAnd you know, when you come to <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:23,640 –> 00:05:28,160
\nreason about for yourself, the
\ngreatest source of pleasure is <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:28,160 –> 00:05:33,040
\nin self sacrifice.
\nYou find that even in your own <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:33,040 –> 00:05:38,600
\nlife, you take it this way.
\nWhen you’re a little child and <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:38,600 –> 00:05:42,960
\nyou want to pay some love to
\nyour parents, you save up your <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:42,960 –> 00:05:45,320
\npennies, since I suppose we call
\nthem now. <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:45,640 –> 00:05:49,240
\nYou save those up until you buy
\nsomething for them because you <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:49,240 –> 00:05:52,480
\nwant to show your love to them.
\nAnd you know there’s a sense of <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:52,480 –> 00:05:56,200
\nexcitement and pleasure as you
\ngather this money together and <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:56,200 –> 00:05:58,360
\nyou buy what you choose for
\nthem. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:58,760 –> 00:06:01,920
\nYou know that I’ve seen that in
\nthe faces of my children when <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:01,960 –> 00:06:03,680
\nthey were little children back
\nhome. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:04,120 –> 00:06:07,320
\nAnd they would save up their
\npennies, they would work that <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:07,320 –> 00:06:09,560
\nthey might buy something for me,
\na tie. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:09,840 –> 00:06:12,520
\nAnd they come on my birthday or
\nsomething like that. <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:12,520 –> 00:06:15,480
\nAnd here’s the tie, a hideous
\nlooking thing, but the little <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:15,480 –> 00:06:19,040
\nface, you know, bright with
\nexpectancy, and you’ve got to <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:19,040 –> 00:06:20,920
\nput the thing on and go around
\nwith it. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:21,240 –> 00:06:23,920
\nAnd that Kitty is getting
\ngreater joy than me because I <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:23,920 –> 00:06:27,000
\nthink it’s a frightful tie.
\nAnd you see, and that happiness <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:27,000 –> 00:06:28,760
\nis with the one that’s
\nsacrificing. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:29,080 –> 00:06:32,280
\nI think it was Shakespeare that
\nsaid it is more blessed to give <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:32,280 –> 00:06:34,560
\nthan to receive.
\nAnd life is like that. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:34,560 –> 00:06:36,360
\nYou get a joy out of giving
\nthings. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:36,840 –> 00:06:39,680
\nGod teaches us that.
\nAnd there’s a joy out of <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:39,680 –> 00:06:42,480
\nsacrifice.
\nThere’s a joy out of self denial<\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:42,720 –> 00:06:45,600
\nwho help someone else.
\nAnd there’s a sense of <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:45,600 –> 00:06:49,320
\nsatisfaction when this is done
\nand someone has helped and aided<\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:49,480 –> 00:06:52,320
\nbecause you have gone out of
\nyour way to do that for them. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:52,880 –> 00:06:55,640
\nBut these people in the world at
\nlarge, they don’t see it like <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:55,640 –> 00:06:57,560
\nthat.
\nThe philosophy of the world at <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:57,560 –> 00:07:00,240
\nlarge is you’re not happy until
\nyou’ve got everything you want. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:00,560 –> 00:07:03,960
\nAnd you find that philosophy
\ningrained in every sense of <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:05,320 –> 00:07:08,000
\nphilosophy today.
\nOpen your newspapers. <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:08,640 –> 00:07:11,040
\nWhat have you got?
\nI got the London, not the <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:11,040 –> 00:07:13,800
\nLondon, the Los Angeles Times to
\nsee the news. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:14,000 –> 00:07:17,520
\nIt’s confined in a little space
\nlike this, but the rest of it is<\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:17,520 –> 00:07:20,280
\nadvertisements and so forth.
\nAnd it’s amazing. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:20,280 –> 00:07:24,480
\nYou see, you see a great big
\nrefrigerator full of food and <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:24,480 –> 00:07:27,440
\nthe doors open.
\nEveryone’s gritting like monkeys<\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:27,440 –> 00:07:31,680
\nlooking at the food and the
\ninfluence of the and the, the <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:31,680 –> 00:07:35,120
\nimplication of the advertisement
\nis, look, your life’s not happy <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:35,120 –> 00:07:36,960
\nunless you’ve got that size of
\nrefrigerator. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:37,160 –> 00:07:40,560
\nLook at the tiny 1 you got now.
\nOr someone’s got a great big <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:40,560 –> 00:07:42,640
\nmotor car.
\nYou know, the fathers they’re <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:42,640 –> 00:07:44,720
\ndriving, the kids are all
\nlooking out in the back and <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:44,720 –> 00:07:48,040
\nreally like anything.
\nAnd everyone’s like this till <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:48,040 –> 00:07:49,360
\nthey get home and see the
\nmortgage. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:49,760 –> 00:07:52,240
\nAnd you see, they think that
\nlife is happy. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:52,520 –> 00:07:57,120
\nThey’re living in a fantasy.
\nThey’re living in a fantasy. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:57,240 –> 00:07:59,960
\nAnd those advertisements are
\nencouraging that fantasy. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:00,120 –> 00:08:03,040
\nThat’s not the reality at all.
\nNot at all. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:03,680 –> 00:08:06,280
\nYou’re not leaving unless you
\ngot the latest in motor cars, <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:06,280 –> 00:08:08,760
\nthe latest in refrigerators, the
\nlatest in carpets. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:09,200 –> 00:08:14,280
\nYou know, on one occasion I
\nalready got a letter from a <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:14,880 –> 00:08:17,680
\nsister directed to Mr.
\nMansfield. <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:17,720 –> 00:08:20,720
\nIt was directed to my son, who’s
\nthe recorder of the meeting. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:21,800 –> 00:08:25,120
\nBut I happen to get it because,
\nof course, my officers wear his <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:25,120 –> 00:08:26,000
\nart.
\nIt’s too. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:26,800 –> 00:08:28,800
\nI opened that letter and it
\nwasn’t written to me. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:28,800 –> 00:08:32,320
\nIt was written to him, but it
\nwas a letter of resignation from<\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:32,320 –> 00:08:35,840
\nthe meeting, and it was a letter
\nto the arranging brethren. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:36,600 –> 00:08:39,080
\nWell, I did something awfully
\nunconstitutional. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:39,520 –> 00:08:42,240
\nI put the letter in my pocket
\nand with my sister, wife, we <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:42,240 –> 00:08:45,920
\nwent and visited this sister and
\nwe wanted to know what was the <\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:45,920 –> 00:08:48,720
\nmatter.
\nAnd she was not coming to the <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:48,720 –> 00:08:52,120
\nmeetings and so forth and so on.
\nAnd as we unfolded the unhappy <\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:52,120 –> 00:08:55,040
\nstory, what really was the
\nmatter? <\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:55,320 –> 00:08:57,920
\nWhat really was the matter when
\nyou come to work here, they’re <\/p>\n
155
\n00:08:57,920 –> 00:09:01,880
\nall out, was that she couldn’t
\nafford to live without going to <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:01,880 –> 00:09:05,480
\nwork on these nights when
\nthere’s a study class or even on<\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:05,480 –> 00:09:08,640
\nthe Sunday and so forth because
\nshe wanted this and she wanted <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:08,640 –> 00:09:10,800
\nthat.
\nAnd I sat there and I listened <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:10,800 –> 00:09:13,840
\nto her in amazement.
\nAnd I said to her, and if you <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:13,840 –> 00:09:17,360
\nunderstand what you’re telling
\nme, I said I’m wearing out your <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:17,360 –> 00:09:18,960
\ncarpet.
\nI’ve been treading on it and <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:18,960 –> 00:09:20,560
\nI’ve worn it out to a certain
\nextent. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:20,800 –> 00:09:25,680
\nAnd you are spending time to get
\nthat carpet there and you’re <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:25,680 –> 00:09:29,400
\ngiving away eternal life for
\nthis darn carpet that’s wearing <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:29,400 –> 00:09:31,480
\nout anyway.
\nAnd I don’t think much of the <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:31,480 –> 00:09:33,680
\ncolour.
\nAnd you’ll get into that eternal<\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:33,680 –> 00:09:36,960
\nlife for that.
\nAnd we talked this way. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:36,960 –> 00:09:40,240
\nAnd fortunately, on that
\noccasion anyway, she came back. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:09:40,480 –> 00:09:42,880
\nBut you see, that was really
\nwhat it was. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:09:43,160 –> 00:09:45,240
\nThey’ve got their priorities
\nwrong. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:09:46,400 –> 00:09:51,640
\nTheir priorities were wrong.
\nAs it was in the days of Noah, <\/p>\n
172
\n00:09:51,880 –> 00:09:54,520
\nso shall it be at the coming of
\nthe Son of Man. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:09:54,680 –> 00:09:58,320
\nThey ate, they drank, they
\nmarried, they gave lives in <\/p>\n
174
\n00:09:58,320 –> 00:10:02,120
\nmarriage, they bought, they
\nsold, and the flood came upon <\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:02,120 –> 00:10:04,920
\nthem.
\nEverything legitimate, all the <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:04,920 –> 00:10:08,720
\nlegitimate things of life
\noccupying their mind. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:08,720 –> 00:10:11,600
\nThey’re busy around this.
\nThe businesses there, the house <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:11,600 –> 00:10:14,280
\nis there, the families there.
\nWe’re busy about this. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:14,280 –> 00:10:17,080
\nWe haven’t got time for that.
\nWe cannot do the daily readings,<\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:17,360 –> 00:10:21,360
\nthe study classes a little bit
\nawkward tonight and the memorial<\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:21,360 –> 00:10:24,600
\nmeetings are set aside and for
\nlegitimate things are things of <\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:24,600 –> 00:10:28,360
\neternal life are set aside.
\nAnd that’s the challenge, <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:28,360 –> 00:10:32,280
\nbrothers and sisters to the
\nbrotherhood today to put your <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:32,280 –> 00:10:36,880
\npriorities right and see that
\nthose priorities are carried <\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:36,880 –> 00:10:38,840
\nout.
\nNow here you have a state of <\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:38,840 –> 00:10:41,520
\nthings where you have wickedness
\nin the earth. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:10:41,840 –> 00:10:45,520
\nIt was an age of affluence.
\nIt was an age of indifference to<\/p>\n
188
\n00:10:45,520 –> 00:10:48,520
\nthe requirements of God.
\nIt was an age of gross <\/p>\n
189
\n00:10:48,520 –> 00:10:50,960
\nwickedness.
\nIt was an age of blatant <\/p>\n
190
\n00:10:50,960 –> 00:10:55,840
\npermissiveness.
\nAnd God says that in verse 5, <\/p>\n
191
\n00:10:56,080 –> 00:10:58,760
\nnot only that he saw that the
\nwickedness of man was great on <\/p>\n
192
\n00:10:58,760 –> 00:11:02,520
\nthe earth, but that every
\nimagination of the thoughts of <\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:02,520 –> 00:11:07,080
\nhis heart was only evil
\ncontinually revolving around the<\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:07,080 –> 00:11:09,880
\nminds of men and women
\neverywhere, including <\/p>\n
195
\n00:11:09,880 –> 00:11:14,160
\nunfortunately, the sons of God.
\nRevolving around their minds was<\/p>\n
196
\n00:11:14,160 –> 00:11:17,760
\ntheir material advantages and
\nthe things that they could do <\/p>\n
197
\n00:11:17,920 –> 00:11:20,000
\nand the things that are going to
\nget for their pleasure. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:11:20,160 –> 00:11:21,920
\nAnd they forget the things of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:11:22,120 –> 00:11:23,840
\nThey forget that there is even a
\nGod. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:24,040 –> 00:11:26,880
\nThey mail the words of God.
\nPerhaps they attend the <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:26,880 –> 00:11:32,720
\nmeetings, perhaps, but they are
\nnot really moved by that. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:33,200 –> 00:11:36,240
\nAnd we read that it repented
\nYahweh, that He made man upon <\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:36,240 –> 00:11:38,680
\nthe earth.
\nThe word means it grieves him. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:11:38,680 –> 00:11:42,320
\nSo he’s going to change his
\npurpose or introduce some change<\/p>\n
205
\n00:11:42,320 –> 00:11:44,680
\nin the purpose.
\nAnd the word repent, as it’s <\/p>\n
206
\n00:11:44,680 –> 00:11:47,920
\nused in the Bible in its
\noriginal form, means to change <\/p>\n
207
\n00:11:47,920 –> 00:11:51,200
\nyour mind or purpose.
\nFor example, on the day of <\/p>\n
208
\n00:11:51,200 –> 00:11:54,520
\nPentecost, when Peter was
\npreaking, the people were <\/p>\n
209
\n00:11:54,520 –> 00:11:57,400
\npricked in their heart.
\nThey were sad and sorry for what<\/p>\n
210
\n00:11:57,400 –> 00:11:59,720
\nthey had done.
\nAnd they said, Madam, brethren, <\/p>\n
211
\n00:11:59,720 –> 00:12:02,480
\nwhat shall we do?
\nThey were already sorry, you <\/p>\n
212
\n00:12:02,480 –> 00:12:05,320
\nsee.
\nAnd Peter says, repent and be <\/p>\n
213
\n00:12:05,320 –> 00:12:08,000
\nbaptized.
\nAnd that word repent means to <\/p>\n
214
\n00:12:08,000 –> 00:12:10,640
\nturn around and change your way
\nof life. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:12:11,040 –> 00:12:15,520
\nIt means a change of mind.
\nSo you see here God is going to <\/p>\n
216
\n00:12:15,520 –> 00:12:19,800
\nchange His purpose in order to
\nhandle the situation that <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:19,800 –> 00:12:22,240
\noccurs.
\nAnd notice this lovely <\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:22,240 –> 00:12:27,200
\nexpression in that verse because
\nwe read and it grieved Him at <\/p>\n
219
\n00:12:27,200 –> 00:12:30,600
\nhis heart.
\nThis is God. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:12:32,560 –> 00:12:40,360
\nIt grieved Him at his heart.
\nYou see, we don’t make God real,<\/p>\n
221
\n00:12:43,160 –> 00:12:47,520
\nalmighty Gods in heaven,
\nuntouched by the feelings that <\/p>\n
222
\n00:12:47,640 –> 00:12:53,360
\nafflict us.
\nSo we think that God has <\/p>\n
223
\n00:12:53,360 –> 00:12:57,040
\nfeelings.
\nHe is a God of love. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:12:58,120 –> 00:13:02,880
\nHe is a God of anger because you
\ncan’t have one without the <\/p>\n
225
\n00:13:02,880 –> 00:13:08,520
\nother.
\nHe is a God that is exercises <\/p>\n
226
\n00:13:08,520 –> 00:13:11,160
\nHis feelings.
\nHe was with his Son when his Son<\/p>\n
227
\n00:13:11,160 –> 00:13:15,320
\ndied upon the cross that
\naffected him as a father. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:13:15,920 –> 00:13:20,240
\nHe has invited us to call him
\nfather because he understand. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:13:20,240 –> 00:13:23,800
\nWe understand that term.
\nWe know what a father is. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:13:23,800 –> 00:13:26,160
\nWe know the hearts of a father
\ntowards a children. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:13:26,320 –> 00:13:30,240
\nWe know how the hearts of the
\nchildren are towards a father, a<\/p>\n
232
\n00:13:30,240 –> 00:13:33,920
\nparent, and those expressions
\nare here that we might be drawn <\/p>\n
233
\n00:13:33,920 –> 00:13:37,080
\ncloser to God.
\nWe might understand that when <\/p>\n
234
\n00:13:37,080 –> 00:13:41,080
\nyou turn over to the 63rd
\nchapter of Isaiah and you read <\/p>\n
235
\n00:13:41,080 –> 00:13:43,720
\nconcerning the people of Israel
\nin the wilderness. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:43,960 –> 00:13:48,040
\nWe read this concerning Almighty
\nGod in verse 9. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:13:48,600 –> 00:13:54,960
\nIn all their afflictions He was
\nafflicted, and the Angel of his <\/p>\n
238
\n00:13:54,960 –> 00:13:58,240
\npresence saved them in his
\nMarvin. <\/p>\n
239
\n00:13:58,240 –> 00:14:03,080
\nIn his pity he redeemed them and
\nbear them, and carried them all <\/p>\n
240
\n00:14:03,080 –> 00:14:06,520
\nthe days of old.
\nNever thought of that about God.<\/p>\n
241
\n00:14:06,760 –> 00:14:09,280
\nIn all their afflictions he was
\nafflicted. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:14:09,520 –> 00:14:12,320
\nHe felt for them.
\nHe saw them hungry in the <\/p>\n
243
\n00:14:12,320 –> 00:14:14,960
\nwilderness.
\nHe saw them wanting water. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:14:15,120 –> 00:14:19,520
\nHe’s afflicted by that the same
\nas a parent will be for a child <\/p>\n
245
\n00:14:19,640 –> 00:14:22,320
\nwhen he can see a child acting
\nin a certain way. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:14:22,480 –> 00:14:25,200
\nBut he knows it’s best for that
\nchild to be disciplined. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:14:25,440 –> 00:14:28,800
\nHe knows for the good of that
\nchild it is better that he <\/p>\n
248
\n00:14:29,040 –> 00:14:32,680
\nallows him to go on that course,
\nuntil finally that child learns <\/p>\n
249
\n00:14:32,680 –> 00:14:35,080
\nthat lesson.
\nBut the heart of the my father <\/p>\n
250
\n00:14:35,080 –> 00:14:38,440
\nis afflicted by it.
\nI am a parent. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:14:38,880 –> 00:14:43,240
\nI am confident that parents feel
\nit more bitterly and more deeply<\/p>\n
252
\n00:14:43,240 –> 00:14:46,040
\nthan their children.
\nAnd as you look over your <\/p>\n
253
\n00:14:46,040 –> 00:14:48,880
\nchildren and you see them
\nsuffering in a certain way, you <\/p>\n
254
\n00:14:48,880 –> 00:14:51,640
\nwould do a foolish thing.
\nYou would stop them suffering <\/p>\n
255
\n00:14:52,520 –> 00:14:53,960
\nand you would prevent that
\nhappening. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:14:54,320 –> 00:14:58,360
\nNot Almighty God in His wisdom,
\nbut let us understand and let <\/p>\n
257
\n00:14:58,360 –> 00:15:00,760
\nIsrael understand.
\nHe wasn’t indifferent. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:15:01,080 –> 00:15:04,520
\nHe’s not indifferent.
\nHe understands in all their <\/p>\n
259
\n00:15:04,520 –> 00:15:08,080
\nafflictions he was afflicted.
\nAnd as far as the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
260
\n00:15:08,080 –> 00:15:11,760
\nChrist is concerned, we are told
\nby Paul in Hebrews that we have <\/p>\n
261
\n00:15:11,760 –> 00:15:14,600
\nnorthern high priest that cannot
\nbe in touch with the feelings of<\/p>\n
262
\n00:15:14,600 –> 00:15:17,560
\nour infirmities, our
\ninfirmities, our very <\/p>\n
263
\n00:15:17,560 –> 00:15:20,080
\nweaknesses.
\nHe was touched in all points <\/p>\n
264
\n00:15:20,080 –> 00:15:23,960
\nlike that and therefore we can
\nwith every confidence go unto <\/p>\n
265
\n00:15:23,960 –> 00:15:26,760
\nthe Father through the Lord
\nJesus Christ in prayer, <\/p>\n
266
\n00:15:26,920 –> 00:15:31,800
\nrecognizing that he understands
\nand he feels for us. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:15:32,320 –> 00:15:35,720
\nWe are his sons and we’re going
\nto see that at the moment in in <\/p>\n
268
\n00:15:35,720 –> 00:15:39,280
\nthe in the 6th chapter of
\nGenesis. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:15:39,680 –> 00:15:44,080
\nSo that you see it, it grieved
\nhim at his heart, particularly <\/p>\n
270
\n00:15:44,240 –> 00:15:49,080
\nas he saw the attitude of the
\nsons of God and as he looked <\/p>\n
271
\n00:15:49,080 –> 00:15:52,840
\ndown upon that world, the world
\nthat’s wicked and corrupt. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:15:53,160 –> 00:15:55,600
\nAnd see it again described in
\nverse 12. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:15:56,040 –> 00:16:00,080
\nThe earth was corrupt for all
\nflesh had corrupted his way upon<\/p>\n
274
\n00:16:00,080 –> 00:16:02,840
\nthe earth.
\nSo His way is not in men’s <\/p>\n
275
\n00:16:02,840 –> 00:16:05,440
\nthoughts.
\nThe earth was filled with <\/p>\n
276
\n00:16:05,440 –> 00:16:07,200
\nviolence.
\nWe read in verse 13. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:16:07,560 –> 00:16:11,400
\nSo here is the world given over
\nthe wickedness, an absolutely <\/p>\n
278
\n00:16:11,400 –> 00:16:15,600
\ncorrupt world.
\nA world that is full of violence<\/p>\n
279
\n00:16:15,920 –> 00:16:19,200
\nand darkness is there.
\nAnd as Almighty God is looking <\/p>\n
280
\n00:16:19,200 –> 00:16:22,640
\ndown upon that world, He sees
\nnothing but evil and wickedness <\/p>\n
281
\n00:16:22,640 –> 00:16:25,560
\nand darkness.
\nThe repudiation of His way. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:16:25,720 –> 00:16:28,440
\nHe’s created man for a specific
\npurpose. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:16:28,600 –> 00:16:32,240
\nThe sole reason God created man
\nwas that man should reflect to <\/p>\n
284
\n00:16:32,240 –> 00:16:35,240
\nHis glory.
\nBut it is a whole given over to <\/p>\n
285
\n00:16:35,240 –> 00:16:38,600
\nthe worship of self and flesh,
\nand the eyes of Almighty God <\/p>\n
286
\n00:16:38,600 –> 00:16:40,720
\nlooks down upon that darkened
\nglobe. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:16:41,040 –> 00:16:48,880
\nAnd as it looks down upon that
\ndarkened globe, he says Noah and<\/p>\n
288
\n00:16:48,880 –> 00:16:57,680
\nlook in verse 8.
\nBut but Noah found grace in the <\/p>\n
289
\n00:16:57,680 –> 00:17:01,160
\neyes of Yahweh.
\nHe found grace. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:17:01,560 –> 00:17:05,599
\nThe word means favour.
\nHe found the favour of God. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:09,280 –> 00:17:11,640
\nLast night I was sitting in the
\nback row and you couldn’t see <\/p>\n
292
\n00:17:11,640 –> 00:17:13,520
\nvery well up here.
\nBut you know this. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:17:13,520 –> 00:17:17,560
\nI have sat in the audiences when
\nthere have been young people’s <\/p>\n
294
\n00:17:17,560 –> 00:17:19,800
\nitems and I’ve seen those young
\npeople there. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:17:19,800 –> 00:17:23,680
\nI’ve seen quite a lot of young
\npeople on the platform, little <\/p>\n
296
\n00:17:23,680 –> 00:17:27,839
\ntoddlers on the platform too.
\nAnd you know, sometimes back in <\/p>\n
297
\n00:17:27,839 –> 00:17:30,680
\nWoodville, there we might have
\n30 or so on the platform <\/p>\n
298
\n00:17:30,680 –> 00:17:35,280
\nperforming, but I only see one
\nmy grandson or grandchild. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:17:36,160 –> 00:17:38,960
\nThe eyes of parents single out
\nupon their own child upon the <\/p>\n
300
\n00:17:38,960 –> 00:17:41,480
\nplatform, don’t they?
\nAnd it doesn’t matter what the <\/p>\n
301
\n00:17:41,480 –> 00:17:43,880
\nitems like, as long as your
\nchild has done something good <\/p>\n
302
\n00:17:43,880 –> 00:17:46,920
\nupon that platform, your eye
\nturns that much. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:17:46,960 –> 00:17:50,840
\nSee the Father in the heavens,
\ncountless millions upon the <\/p>\n
304
\n00:17:50,880 –> 00:17:55,040
\nearth.
\nBut Noah, Noah, there’s his true<\/p>\n
305
\n00:17:55,040 –> 00:17:58,480
\nSon, and his eyes take hold of
\nNoah and his family. <\/p>\n
306
\n00:17:58,760 –> 00:18:02,720
\nNoah found grace in the eyes of
\nYahweh, and the eyes of Yahweh <\/p>\n
307
\n00:18:02,720 –> 00:18:06,080
\ncentered down upon him as the
\neyes of God will centered down <\/p>\n
308
\n00:18:06,080 –> 00:18:10,360
\nupon us if we stand as His sons
\nand daughters. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:18:10,360 –> 00:18:13,320
\nAnd understand, merely because
\nwe call ourselves <\/p>\n
310
\n00:18:13,320 –> 00:18:16,360
\nChristadelphians does not
\nnecessarily constitute us a <\/p>\n
311
\n00:18:16,360 –> 00:18:19,480
\nbrother or relative of Christ.
\nNot at all. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:18:19,680 –> 00:18:23,720
\nRemember this, that in the 22nd
\nchapter of Genesis, Abraham was <\/p>\n
313
\n00:18:23,720 –> 00:18:28,040
\ntold to take his only son whom
\nhe loved and offer him as an <\/p>\n
314
\n00:18:28,040 –> 00:18:30,560
\noffering.
\nAbraham had more than one son, <\/p>\n
315
\n00:18:31,160 –> 00:18:33,960
\nbut the Angel never made a
\nmistake when he said to Abraham,<\/p>\n
316
\n00:18:34,160 –> 00:18:37,720
\nTake your only son.
\nBecause though Abraham had <\/p>\n
317
\n00:18:37,720 –> 00:18:40,280
\nseveral that might have called
\nthemselves sons of Abraham, <\/p>\n
318
\n00:18:40,480 –> 00:18:43,280
\nthere was only one son that was
\ntruly Abraham’s son. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:18:43,480 –> 00:18:46,680
\nBecause a son of anything in the
\nHebrew form means one filled <\/p>\n
320
\n00:18:46,680 –> 00:18:49,000
\nwith that.
\nA son of God is 1 filled with <\/p>\n
321
\n00:18:49,000 –> 00:18:51,320
\nGod.
\nA son of Belial is 1 filled with<\/p>\n
322
\n00:18:51,520 –> 00:18:54,240
\nwith worthlessness.
\nA son of the devil is 1 Filled <\/p>\n
323
\n00:18:54,240 –> 00:18:58,040
\nwith one’s own flesh.
\nSo you see here was a true son <\/p>\n
324
\n00:18:58,040 –> 00:19:02,840
\nof God of the eyes of of of God
\nfound is centred upon Noah and <\/p>\n
325
\n00:19:02,840 –> 00:19:05,600
\nhe found grace in the eyes of
\nYahweh. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:19:05,960 –> 00:19:09,880
\nYou know that word grace is a
\nwonderful word to to trace <\/p>\n
327
\n00:19:09,880 –> 00:19:14,480
\nthrough the Bible, and it is.
\nAnd it is matched by another <\/p>\n
328
\n00:19:14,480 –> 00:19:19,240
\nword in the, in the Hebrew that
\ntranslators find very, very <\/p>\n
329
\n00:19:19,240 –> 00:19:23,800
\ndifficult to translate.
\nAnd very often it’s translated <\/p>\n
330
\n00:19:23,800 –> 00:19:26,880
\nmercy, but mercy is not the word
\nat all. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:19:27,240 –> 00:19:30,320
\nIt’s really better grace.
\nAnd you’ll find that word used <\/p>\n
332
\n00:19:30,320 –> 00:19:36,480
\nin Psalm 86 and verse 2.
\nPreserve my soul, for I am holy.<\/p>\n
333
\n00:19:37,080 –> 00:19:41,800
\nNow this is similar to the word
\ncassade, holy, but it doesn’t <\/p>\n
334
\n00:19:41,800 –> 00:19:44,080
\nmean holy and it doesn’t mean
\nmercy. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:19:44,360 –> 00:19:48,960
\nIt means one for whom another
\none has a special relationship. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:19:49,320 –> 00:19:52,280
\nNow see it in the margin.
\nThe margin gives an alternate <\/p>\n
337
\n00:19:52,280 –> 00:19:55,480
\nrendition.
\nOne whom they’ll favourist. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:19:56,160 –> 00:20:01,320
\nI am one who male favourist whom
\nGod is selected for that favour.<\/p>\n
339
\n00:20:01,560 –> 00:20:05,760
\nNow Noah was such a man as that
\nNoah and his family. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:20:06,000 –> 00:20:10,200
\nAnd as far as Almighty God was
\nconcerned, Noah found grace in <\/p>\n
341
\n00:20:10,200 –> 00:20:13,760
\nthe eyes of Yahweh.
\nWe are told that Noah was a just<\/p>\n
342
\n00:20:13,760 –> 00:20:16,640
\nman and perfect in his
\ngeneration. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:20:17,120 –> 00:20:19,200
\nAnd the word perfect there means
\nmature. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:20:19,360 –> 00:20:22,320
\nHe was grown up, he was a mature
\nman. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:20:22,680 –> 00:20:26,560
\nHe was a mature in this regard,
\nthat he worshipped God rightly. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:20:27,000 –> 00:20:32,560
\nYou know in the 12th chapter of
\nEcclesiastes that Moses sums up <\/p>\n
347
\n00:20:32,560 –> 00:20:34,760
\nthe whole matter.
\nAnd what is the whole matter? <\/p>\n
348
\n00:20:34,920 –> 00:20:41,000
\nFear God.
\nAnd, and I should know this off <\/p>\n
349
\n00:20:41,000 –> 00:20:43,160
\nby hat.
\nWhat is it? <\/p>\n
350
\n00:20:43,160 –> 00:20:44,960
\nFear God and keep His
\ncommandments. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:20:45,440 –> 00:20:47,040
\nFair God and keep his
\ncommandments. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:20:47,200 –> 00:20:52,040
\nFor this is the whole man, not
\nthe whole duty of man. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:20:53,440 –> 00:20:56,160
\nIt reads that way, but the word
\nduty is not in the original. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:20:56,600 –> 00:20:58,040
\nFair God and keep his
\ncommandments. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:20:58,040 –> 00:21:01,040
\nThat’s a whole man.
\nThese are not whole men outside.<\/p>\n
356
\n00:21:01,040 –> 00:21:05,440
\nThey’re like little children.
\nThe whole man is a mature man <\/p>\n
357
\n00:21:05,440 –> 00:21:08,240
\nwho worships God and keeps his
\ncommandments because he knows <\/p>\n
358
\n00:21:08,240 –> 00:21:11,360
\nthat the right thing to do.
\nHe knows that’s an investment <\/p>\n
359
\n00:21:11,360 –> 00:21:13,520
\nfor the future.
\nHe’s acting maturely. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:21:13,720 –> 00:21:16,600
\nHe’s not like a child.
\nHe’s acting maturely. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:21:16,760 –> 00:21:19,080
\nThis is Noah.
\nHe was a perfect man. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:21:19,080 –> 00:21:20,960
\nHe was mature.
\nHe’d grown up. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:21:21,440 –> 00:21:24,560
\nHe was a just man of perfect in
\nhis generations, and he walked <\/p>\n
364
\n00:21:24,560 –> 00:21:26,960
\nwith God.
\nAnd we saw what that meant when <\/p>\n
365
\n00:21:26,960 –> 00:21:30,840
\nwe considered Enoch yesterday.
\nHe walked with God because God <\/p>\n
366
\n00:21:30,840 –> 00:21:34,160
\nwas a reality to him.
\nAnd in that age of corruptness <\/p>\n
367
\n00:21:34,160 –> 00:21:37,520
\nand wickedness and violence,
\nthere was one family anyway <\/p>\n
368
\n00:21:37,560 –> 00:21:41,040
\nstanding aside from it all
\ngiving him themselves over to <\/p>\n
369
\n00:21:41,040 –> 00:21:45,320
\nthe things of God, walking with
\nGod and the eyes of God centered<\/p>\n
370
\n00:21:45,320 –> 00:21:48,640
\nupon that man.
\nJust to show you how that that <\/p>\n
371
\n00:21:48,640 –> 00:21:53,400
\nhappens, let’s just have a look
\nat the the Samuel, the first of <\/p>\n
372
\n00:21:53,400 –> 00:21:56,840
\nSamuel chapter 2.
\nJust an interesting feature here<\/p>\n
373
\n00:21:57,240 –> 00:21:59,800
\nbecause in the first of Samuel
\nchapter 2, you read about the <\/p>\n
374
\n00:21:59,800 –> 00:22:02,240
\nsons of Eli.
\nYou read that they were sons of <\/p>\n
375
\n00:22:02,240 –> 00:22:06,640
\na loyal, sons of a loyal.
\nThey knew not Yahweh we read, <\/p>\n
376
\n00:22:07,240 –> 00:22:10,600
\nand yet they knew all about it
\nand they could distort about it,<\/p>\n
377
\n00:22:10,960 –> 00:22:14,320
\nbut they didn’t know him in the
\ntrue sense of the word, in that <\/p>\n
378
\n00:22:14,320 –> 00:22:17,200
\nthat knowledge didn’t react upon
\nthem in a certain way. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:22:17,480 –> 00:22:20,120
\nBut there’s a very interesting
\nthing emerges in this chapter, <\/p>\n
380
\n00:22:20,320 –> 00:22:22,480
\nwhich is the first of Samuel
\nchapter 2. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:22:22,720 –> 00:22:30,040
\nAnd just see what emerges.
\nLook in verse 11, the child <\/p>\n
382
\n00:22:30,040 –> 00:22:33,720
\nSamuel did minister unto Yahweh
\nbefore Eli the priest. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:22:34,160 –> 00:22:36,720
\nNow the sons of Eli were sons of
\nBelial. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:22:38,160 –> 00:22:42,040
\nSee how they put together.
\nThere is the child ministering <\/p>\n
385
\n00:22:42,080 –> 00:22:44,400
\nunto God.
\nBut these priests, the son of <\/p>\n
386
\n00:22:44,400 –> 00:22:48,280
\nEliah again, verse 17.
\nThe sin of the young man was <\/p>\n
387
\n00:22:48,280 –> 00:22:50,720
\ngreat before Yahweh.
\nVerse 18. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:22:50,800 –> 00:22:52,720
\nThat Samuel ministered before
\nhim. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:22:53,520 –> 00:22:56,360
\nVerse 25.
\nThey hearken not unto the voice <\/p>\n
390
\n00:22:56,360 –> 00:22:58,360
\nof their father.
\nVerse 26. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:22:58,560 –> 00:23:02,600
\nAnd the child Samuel grew on.
\nIt was in favour with both God <\/p>\n
392
\n00:23:02,600 –> 00:23:05,400
\nand man.
\nAnd in that first of Samuel <\/p>\n
393
\n00:23:05,400 –> 00:23:10,560
\nchapter 2, the action of the
\nsons of Levi are contrasted with<\/p>\n
394
\n00:23:10,560 –> 00:23:14,240
\nthe action of Samuel.
\nIn every case you see God was <\/p>\n
395
\n00:23:14,240 –> 00:23:17,280
\nlooking down and He was singling
\nout what Samuel was doing. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:23:17,760 –> 00:23:22,320
\nSo it was in this 6th chapter of
\nGenesis as his eyes take in in <\/p>\n
397
\n00:23:22,320 –> 00:23:25,880
\nNoah and Noah finds grace in his
\neyes. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:23:26,600 –> 00:23:33,080
\nAnd so now the the the Noah
\nbegat three sons, Shameham and <\/p>\n
399
\n00:23:33,080 –> 00:23:34,960
\nJapheth.
\nAnd the time of the <\/p>\n
400
\n00:23:34,960 –> 00:23:37,960
\nlong-suffering of God had almost
\ncompleted. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:23:38,480 –> 00:23:42,360
\nRemember that Peter says in the
\nfirst of Peter chapter 3, the <\/p>\n
402
\n00:23:42,360 –> 00:23:45,400
\nlong-suffering of God waited in
\nthe days of Noah. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:23:45,920 –> 00:23:48,720
\nAnd I’ll remind you what I said
\nbefore, that the word waited <\/p>\n
404
\n00:23:48,720 –> 00:23:51,840
\nthere signifies to wait with arm
\noutstretched to help. <\/p>\n
405
\n00:23:52,040 –> 00:23:54,080
\nAnd God’s arm is outstretched to
\nhelp. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:23:54,560 –> 00:23:57,360
\nHe’s going to leave it for a
\ncertain period of time before he<\/p>\n
407
\n00:23:57,360 –> 00:24:01,720
\njust disciplines that age.
\nNoah is preaching, and therefore<\/p>\n
408
\n00:24:01,720 –> 00:24:04,240
\nperhaps some will harken to the
\npreaching of Noah. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:24:04,640 –> 00:24:07,760
\nAnd therefore God holds off the
\nthreatened judgement. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:24:08,040 –> 00:24:11,520
\nThe long-suffering of God waits
\nwith almonds outstretched to <\/p>\n
411
\n00:24:11,520 –> 00:24:16,280
\nhelp as it does at this present
\nmoment of time, as it does at <\/p>\n
412
\n00:24:16,280 –> 00:24:19,200
\nthis present moment of time.
\nPeter again being witness. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:24:19,800 –> 00:24:23,280
\nAnd now in this particular
\nchapter we have the developing <\/p>\n
414
\n00:24:23,280 –> 00:24:28,840
\ncrisis in three stages, and
\nthese three stages are indicated<\/p>\n
415
\n00:24:28,840 –> 00:24:34,240
\nby a declaration or a revelation
\nthat comes from God, a threefold<\/p>\n
416
\n00:24:34,240 –> 00:24:37,720
\nrevelation.
\nFirst of all, in verse three, <\/p>\n
417
\n00:24:38,960 –> 00:24:43,480
\nthere he spake and said, My
\nSpirit shall not always strive <\/p>\n
418
\n00:24:43,480 –> 00:24:49,640
\nwith man, for that He is also
\nflesh, yet his day shall be 120 <\/p>\n
419
\n00:24:49,640 –> 00:24:53,120
\nyears.
\nSo at that point of time the <\/p>\n
420
\n00:24:53,120 –> 00:24:57,840
\ndeclaration came that he will
\nnot always strive with man. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:24:57,960 –> 00:25:01,080
\nHe’ll give him 120 years to
\nrepent. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:25:02,160 –> 00:25:09,520
\nThat is declaration #1 there’s a
\ntime limit set now and then we <\/p>\n
423
\n00:25:09,520 –> 00:25:11,640
\nhave the second declaration in
\nverse 7. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:25:12,560 –> 00:25:17,120
\nI will destroy man whom I have
\ncreated from the face of the <\/p>\n
425
\n00:25:17,120 –> 00:25:20,080
\nearth.
\nMan has deteriorated. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:25:20,360 –> 00:25:23,720
\nNow the second declaration says
\nI will destroy. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:25:24,560 –> 00:25:29,240
\nThen again in verse 13 we read
\nand God said the end of all <\/p>\n
428
\n00:25:29,240 –> 00:25:32,280
\nflesh is come.
\nNow you see there are three <\/p>\n
429
\n00:25:32,360 –> 00:25:35,280
\ndeclarations in that chapter.
\nThe first of which says that <\/p>\n
430
\n00:25:35,280 –> 00:25:39,360
\nthere is a set time.
\nThe second which says that set <\/p>\n
431
\n00:25:39,360 –> 00:25:42,760
\ntime is revealed.
\nNo, no reformation I will <\/p>\n
432
\n00:25:42,760 –> 00:25:45,400
\ndestroy.
\nAnd the third declaration says <\/p>\n
433
\n00:25:45,680 –> 00:25:49,720
\nthat time is calm, that time has
\ncome. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:25:50,960 –> 00:25:54,520
\nYou know, I believe that we’ve
\nheard two of those declarations <\/p>\n
435
\n00:25:55,040 –> 00:25:59,040
\nin modern times.
\nI believe that we are witnessing<\/p>\n
436
\n00:25:59,040 –> 00:26:01,040
\nthis taking place at the present
\nmoment. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:26:02,440 –> 00:26:07,360
\nThe first of them indicated that
\nthere was a set time and that <\/p>\n
438
\n00:26:07,360 –> 00:26:10,920
\nwe’re at the time of the end.
\nThe second declaration shows <\/p>\n
439
\n00:26:11,120 –> 00:26:13,280
\nthat the time of destruction is
\ncoming. <\/p>\n
440
\n00:26:13,520 –> 00:26:17,000
\nAnd the third one is the time of
\nthe end is here. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:26:17,000 –> 00:26:20,440
\nThe end of all flesh has come.
\nNow come with me to the 21st <\/p>\n
442
\n00:26:20,440 –> 00:26:23,320
\nchapter of Ezekiel.
\nNot the 20th, 37th. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:26:23,320 –> 00:26:28,320
\nI’m sorry, the 37th chapter of
\nEzekiel and see how that there <\/p>\n
444
\n00:26:28,320 –> 00:26:31,920
\nare three a threefold prophecy
\nhere relating to the purpose of <\/p>\n
445
\n00:26:31,920 –> 00:26:34,680
\nAlmighty God.
\nAnd this threefold prophecy, I <\/p>\n
446
\n00:26:34,680 –> 00:26:37,800
\nbelieve, answers to the
\nthreefold declaration that you <\/p>\n
447
\n00:26:37,800 –> 00:26:40,680
\nhave in the 37 in the 6th
\nchapter of Genesis. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:26:41,200 –> 00:26:44,520
\nThe purpose of Almighty God and
\nthis threefold prophecy, I <\/p>\n
449
\n00:26:44,520 –> 00:26:48,040
\nbelieve answers to the threefold
\ndeclaration that you have in the<\/p>\n
450
\n00:26:48,040 –> 00:26:52,680
\n37 in the 6th chapter of
\nGenesis, in Ezekiel chapter 37, <\/p>\n
451
\n00:26:53,840 –> 00:26:56,480
\nverse 21.
\nBehold, I will take the children<\/p>\n
452
\n00:26:56,480 –> 00:26:59,160
\nof Israel from among the
\nnations, whether they be gone, <\/p>\n
453
\n00:26:59,320 –> 00:27:01,840
\nand will gather them on every
\nside and bring them into their <\/p>\n
454
\n00:27:01,840 –> 00:27:04,560
\nown land.
\nWhen did that begin to come to <\/p>\n
455
\n00:27:04,560 –> 00:27:08,960
\npass out of World War One?
\nOf course, out of World War One,<\/p>\n
456
\n00:27:08,960 –> 00:27:11,760
\nthe Delphi Declaration opened
\nthe way for the Jewish people to<\/p>\n
457
\n00:27:11,760 –> 00:27:16,640
\nreturn and the Jewish people
\nbegan to return and the brethren<\/p>\n
458
\n00:27:16,640 –> 00:27:21,480
\nrecognized that as a great sign.
\nIn Psalm 102 we read that the <\/p>\n
459
\n00:27:21,480 –> 00:27:25,560
\nset time is favorite is come.
\nWe read that when the Lord shall<\/p>\n
460
\n00:27:25,560 –> 00:27:28,120
\nbuild up Zion, He shall appear
\nin His glory. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:27:28,680 –> 00:27:32,640
\nSo that when those gates of
\nPalestine swung open in 19117 <\/p>\n
462
\n00:27:32,920 –> 00:27:36,160
\nand the Jewish people began to
\nreturn to the land, it was <\/p>\n
463
\n00:27:36,160 –> 00:27:39,720
\nobvious to those that understood
\nthe word of God that there was <\/p>\n
464
\n00:27:39,720 –> 00:27:43,640
\nthe set time had almost come
\nthat will reach the time of the <\/p>\n
465
\n00:27:43,760 –> 00:27:47,680
\nend, no doubt about that.
\nAnd that was the beginning of <\/p>\n
466
\n00:27:47,680 –> 00:27:50,760
\nsomething that was going to
\nculminate in the establishment <\/p>\n
467
\n00:27:50,760 –> 00:27:53,520
\nof the Kingdom of God.
\nAnd it was a terminal. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:27:54,480 –> 00:27:58,560
\nIt was a beginning of an epoch
\nof time that would culminate in <\/p>\n
469
\n00:27:58,560 –> 00:28:00,280
\nthe establishment of the Kingdom
\nof God. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:28:00,680 –> 00:28:03,880
\nAnd to my mind that answers to
\nthe first declaration of God, <\/p>\n
471
\n00:28:03,880 –> 00:28:06,960
\nwhen God said that there would
\nbe a set time before that <\/p>\n
472
\n00:28:06,960 –> 00:28:11,240
\njudgement, a time of waiting
\nwhich would give opportunity to <\/p>\n
473
\n00:28:11,240 –> 00:28:15,480
\nothers to repent.
\nNow the prophet goes on to say <\/p>\n
474
\n00:28:15,800 –> 00:28:19,600
\nin verse 22, And I will make
\nthem one nation in the land upon<\/p>\n
475
\n00:28:19,600 –> 00:28:23,920
\nthe mountains of Israel.
\nSo in 19148 the Jewish state <\/p>\n
476
\n00:28:23,920 –> 00:28:27,320
\ncame into existence.
\nIt is said that the only good <\/p>\n
477
\n00:28:27,320 –> 00:28:31,200
\nthing that came out of World War
\nOne was the Palestine as a home <\/p>\n
478
\n00:28:31,200 –> 00:28:33,560
\nfor the Jews.
\nThe only good thing that came <\/p>\n
479
\n00:28:33,560 –> 00:28:36,720
\nout of World War 2 was the
\nestablishment of the State of <\/p>\n
480
\n00:28:36,720 –> 00:28:40,480
\nIsrael.
\nBut not only that, but in World <\/p>\n
481
\n00:28:40,480 –> 00:28:44,720
\nWar One, we not only had that
\nthe doors of Palestine opening <\/p>\n
482
\n00:28:44,880 –> 00:28:48,800
\nthat the Jews might return, but
\nwe had in Russia the communist <\/p>\n
483
\n00:28:48,800 –> 00:28:52,720
\nregime established therein.
\nAnd in World War Two, we not <\/p>\n
484
\n00:28:52,720 –> 00:28:56,720
\nonly had the Jewish state come
\ninto existence, but they dropped<\/p>\n
485
\n00:28:56,720 –> 00:29:00,120
\nthe atom bomb, didn’t they, and
\ndemonstrated that the <\/p>\n
486
\n00:29:00,120 –> 00:29:03,560
\ndestruction of humanity was in
\nthe power of men to accomplish. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:29:04,280 –> 00:29:09,040
\nAnd the next the second
\ndeclaration of God in in in in <\/p>\n
488
\n00:29:10,160 –> 00:29:13,280
\nGenesis 6 was I will destroy all
\nflesh. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:29:14,640 –> 00:29:17,160
\nAnd now we read in this passage
\nof Ezekiel. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:29:18,480 –> 00:29:21,680
\nAnd one king shall be king of to
\nthem all. 1\/3 development. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:29:21,920 –> 00:29:25,880
\nThe nation becomes a monarchy.
\nSo first of all Ezekiel sees 3 <\/p>\n
492
\n00:29:25,880 –> 00:29:28,960
\ndevelopments.
\nHe sees development #1 the doors<\/p>\n
493
\n00:29:28,960 –> 00:29:32,760
\nopen to receive Palestine.
\nDevelopment #2 the nation <\/p>\n
494
\n00:29:32,760 –> 00:29:36,280
\nestablished.
\nDevelopment #3 he sees the <\/p>\n
495
\n00:29:36,280 –> 00:29:41,560
\nmonarchy re established, World
\nWar One and the doors of <\/p>\n
496
\n00:29:41,560 –> 00:29:46,440
\nPalestine swig open.
\nWorld War 2 and the Jewish state<\/p>\n
497
\n00:29:46,440 –> 00:29:51,160
\ncomes into existence.
\nWorld War Three and Christ in <\/p>\n
498
\n00:29:51,160 –> 00:29:55,560
\nthe earth.
\nAnd that’s what you’ve got in <\/p>\n
499
\n00:29:55,560 –> 00:30:01,960
\nGenesis chapter 6.
\nFirst declaration, time is <\/p>\n
500
\n00:30:01,960 –> 00:30:06,880
\nlimited.
\nSecond declaration, destruction <\/p>\n
501
\n00:30:06,880 –> 00:30:10,720
\nlooms.
\nThird declaration, the end of <\/p>\n
502
\n00:30:10,720 –> 00:30:15,320
\nall time is calm.
\nNow we go back to Genesis <\/p>\n
503
\n00:30:15,320 –> 00:30:19,840
\nchapter 6 and we read in verse
\n12 that God looked upon the <\/p>\n
504
\n00:30:19,840 –> 00:30:23,560
\nearth and behold it was corrupt,
\nfor all flesh had corrupted his <\/p>\n
505
\n00:30:23,560 –> 00:30:27,160
\nway.
\nAnd he says in verse 13 I will <\/p>\n
506
\n00:30:27,160 –> 00:30:30,520
\ndestroy them.
\nIn the Hebrew the word for <\/p>\n
507
\n00:30:30,520 –> 00:30:33,120
\ncorrupt and the word for destroy
\nis the same. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:30:33,480 –> 00:30:39,120
\nSo you can, if you like, state
\nin verse 12, God looked upon the<\/p>\n
509
\n00:30:39,120 –> 00:30:42,920
\nearth and behold, it was
\ndestroyed, for all flesh were <\/p>\n
510
\n00:30:42,920 –> 00:30:45,120
\ndestroying his way upon the
\nearth. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:30:45,640 –> 00:30:50,320
\nThose words are cited.
\nThose words are floated in <\/p>\n
512
\n00:30:50,320 –> 00:30:54,000
\nRevelation Chapter 11 and verse
\n18. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:30:54,520 –> 00:30:58,960
\nIn Revelation Chapter 11 and
\nverse 18, those very words are <\/p>\n
514
\n00:30:58,960 –> 00:31:03,680
\nquoted by the by the Lord Jesus
\nChrist in the Apocalypse. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:31:03,920 –> 00:31:07,800
\nIn this statement the nations
\nwere angry, and the wrath has <\/p>\n
516
\n00:31:07,800 –> 00:31:10,480
\ncome at the time of the dead,
\nthat they should be judged. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:31:10,480 –> 00:31:13,000
\nAnd that thou should US give
\nreward unto those servants, the <\/p>\n
518
\n00:31:13,000 –> 00:31:15,920
\nprophets, and to the Saints, and
\nthem that fear thy name small <\/p>\n
519
\n00:31:15,920 –> 00:31:20,880
\nand great, And should US destroy
\nthem which destroy the earth, or<\/p>\n
520
\n00:31:20,880 –> 00:31:23,560
\nif you follow the margin,
\ncorrupt them that would corrupt <\/p>\n
521
\n00:31:23,560 –> 00:31:27,040
\nthe earth.
\nAnd those words are cited from <\/p>\n
522
\n00:31:27,040 –> 00:31:30,760
\nGenesis chapter 6 of the Epoch
\nof time, just before the flood. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:31:31,600 –> 00:31:35,320
\nHave we reached an age in Jewish
\nhistory and Jewish history? <\/p>\n
524
\n00:31:35,560 –> 00:31:39,160
\nWe have reached an age in world
\nhistory when man is in his power<\/p>\n
525
\n00:31:39,160 –> 00:31:42,560
\nto destroy this earth, when man
\nis busily corrupting this earth.<\/p>\n
526
\n00:31:42,760 –> 00:31:46,160
\nAnd here we have a book here,
\nbrother and sisters, that 2000 <\/p>\n
527
\n00:31:46,160 –> 00:31:49,920
\nyears ago said that at the time
\nof Jesus Christ coming, man will<\/p>\n
528
\n00:31:49,920 –> 00:31:53,080
\nhave it in his power to destroy
\nthe earth or corrupt the earth. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:31:55,480 –> 00:32:00,040
\nAnd that book’s true, but as it
\nwas in the days of Noah, so <\/p>\n
530
\n00:32:00,040 –> 00:32:02,160
\nshall it be at the coming of the
\nSon of Man. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:32:02,600 –> 00:32:06,680
\nThose words are true, and man is
\nin that stage where that <\/p>\n
532
\n00:32:06,800 –> 00:32:11,720
\ndeclaration will soon be heard.
\nThe end of the flesh has come <\/p>\n
533
\n00:32:12,960 –> 00:32:17,200
\nand pray God, it may be very
\nsoon the end of all flesh has <\/p>\n
534
\n00:32:17,200 –> 00:32:19,960
\ncome.
\nSo we go to the declaration of <\/p>\n
535
\n00:32:19,960 –> 00:32:24,240
\nthird Paul to the Hebrews in
\nHebrews Chapter 11, and we <\/p>\n
536
\n00:32:24,240 –> 00:32:28,400
\nlisten to what is stated in
\nregard to to Noah at that <\/p>\n
537
\n00:32:28,400 –> 00:32:30,920
\nparticular time.
\nAnd here’s the witness of Noah <\/p>\n
538
\n00:32:31,080 –> 00:32:34,480
\nas these things are developing.
\nAnd this must be our witness as <\/p>\n
539
\n00:32:34,480 –> 00:32:41,680
\nwell by faith, Noah, my faith,
\nbrethren and sisters, by his <\/p>\n
540
\n00:32:41,680 –> 00:32:45,640
\nconfident anticipation of things
\nhoped for, his full persuasion <\/p>\n
541
\n00:32:45,640 –> 00:32:49,560
\nof things not seen.
\nBecause that man Noah, his eyes <\/p>\n
542
\n00:32:49,560 –> 00:32:53,000
\nwere centred not upon the
\npresent, but on the realities of<\/p>\n
543
\n00:32:53,000 –> 00:32:56,240
\nthe future.
\nBecause he can see clearly what <\/p>\n
544
\n00:32:56,240 –> 00:33:00,640
\nis going to take place, and he
\ncan see that the great objective<\/p>\n
545
\n00:33:00,640 –> 00:33:03,320
\nin life must be the
\nestablishment of the Kingdom of <\/p>\n
546
\n00:33:03,320 –> 00:33:06,160
\nGod.
\nBeing warned of God, of things <\/p>\n
547
\n00:33:06,160 –> 00:33:12,000
\nnot seen as yet as we are.
\nMove with fear, move with fear, <\/p>\n
548
\n00:33:12,000 –> 00:33:16,440
\nreverence for Almighty God
\nprepared an ark to the saving of<\/p>\n
549
\n00:33:16,440 –> 00:33:18,520
\nhis house.
\nThat’s what he did. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:33:18,640 –> 00:33:21,720
\nHe prepared that ark for the
\nsaving of his house. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:33:21,960 –> 00:33:24,960
\nAs far as he was concerned, he
\nsaw that it was absolutely <\/p>\n
552
\n00:33:24,960 –> 00:33:28,160
\nessential, as far as he and his
\nhouse were concerned that they <\/p>\n
553
\n00:33:28,160 –> 00:33:30,000
\nshould be saved.
\nYou could see there was no <\/p>\n
554
\n00:33:30,000 –> 00:33:33,680
\nfuture in the life about him.
\nSo he built that ark to the <\/p>\n
555
\n00:33:33,680 –> 00:33:40,520
\nsaving of his house, by which he
\ncondemned the world that was <\/p>\n
556
\n00:33:40,520 –> 00:33:45,240
\npart of his ministry.
\nHe condemned the world like <\/p>\n
557
\n00:33:45,240 –> 00:33:49,280
\nEnoch did before him.
\nThe Lord cometh with 10,000 of <\/p>\n
558
\n00:33:49,280 –> 00:33:53,120
\nHis Saints to execute vengeance
\nupon them that know not him, and<\/p>\n
559
\n00:33:53,160 –> 00:33:55,800
\nto punish them for all their
\nungodly deeds of their own. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:33:55,800 –> 00:33:58,920
\nGodly speeches.
\nThe Lord’s coming with 10,000 of<\/p>\n
561
\n00:33:58,920 –> 00:34:01,160
\nHis Saints, He’s going to deal
\nwith this world. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:34:01,360 –> 00:34:04,400
\nThat’s the message that they set
\nforth at that particular time. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:34:04,600 –> 00:34:08,239
\nAnd Noah condemned the world
\nwhilst he built that ark for the<\/p>\n
564
\n00:34:08,239 –> 00:34:10,960
\nsaving of his house.
\nAnd he become the heir of the <\/p>\n
565
\n00:34:10,960 –> 00:34:14,880
\nrighteousness which is by faith,
\nthe heir of the righteousness <\/p>\n
566
\n00:34:14,960 –> 00:34:18,560
\nwhich is by faith.
\nAnd see Noah there by those <\/p>\n
567
\n00:34:18,560 –> 00:34:22,400
\nmeans, by the means of his
\npreaching, by the means of his <\/p>\n
568
\n00:34:22,440 –> 00:34:27,000
\naction, by building up that ark
\nfor himself and his family, he <\/p>\n
569
\n00:34:27,000 –> 00:34:30,120
\nwas able to save himself at that
\nparticular time. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:34:30,440 –> 00:34:33,639
\nHe condemned the world, but he
\nsaved himself and he saved his <\/p>\n
571
\n00:34:33,639 –> 00:34:39,360
\nfamily at that time.
\nAnd so as far as the the Noah’s <\/p>\n
572
\n00:34:39,360 –> 00:34:42,520
\nwit Lewis was concerned, it was
\nby faith. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:34:44,080 –> 00:34:49,400
\nI had hoped to have completed
\nthese studies yesterday and just<\/p>\n
574
\n00:34:49,400 –> 00:34:52,679
\nrun through this chapter on
\nfaith and to see the men and <\/p>\n
575
\n00:34:52,679 –> 00:34:55,679
\nwomen of the past, how they
\nreacted under faith, under the <\/p>\n
576
\n00:34:55,679 –> 00:34:59,280
\ncircumstances of their life.
\nBut time of course, has caught <\/p>\n
577
\n00:34:59,280 –> 00:35:03,120
\nup with me, but I’d like to
\ndirect your attention to one man<\/p>\n
578
\n00:35:03,120 –> 00:35:07,480
\nbecause of course it’s so
\nrelevant to our own associations<\/p>\n
579
\n00:35:07,480 –> 00:35:11,040
\nwith the things of God.
\nAnd that is this man Moses. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:35:11,240 –> 00:35:14,600
\nYou see in verse 24, by faith,
\nMoses, when he was come to <\/p>\n
581
\n00:35:14,640 –> 00:35:18,280
\nyears, refused to be called the
\nson of Pharaoh’s daughter. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:35:19,840 –> 00:35:23,280
\nHe refused it by faith.
\nHe did that. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:35:24,200 –> 00:35:28,760
\nHe could have become the next
\nPharaoh, but he refused it <\/p>\n
584
\n00:35:28,760 –> 00:35:31,200
\nbecause he knew that the will of
\nGod was not that he would serve <\/p>\n
585
\n00:35:31,200 –> 00:35:34,800
\nthe world about him.
\nYou know, some of us might have <\/p>\n
586
\n00:35:34,800 –> 00:35:38,680
\nreasoned if we were Moses, we
\nmay have reasoned that as <\/p>\n
587
\n00:35:38,680 –> 00:35:43,920
\nPharaoh we will be able to help
\nour own countrymen, our own <\/p>\n
588
\n00:35:43,920 –> 00:35:48,000
\nJewish associations, associates,
\nnot Moses. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:35:48,040 –> 00:35:51,720
\nHe realized that God required of
\nhim a certainty and he refused. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:35:52,000 –> 00:35:54,480
\nHe refused.
\nAnd the very word refused <\/p>\n
591
\n00:35:54,480 –> 00:35:56,920
\nimplies an argument.
\nThere was an argument there. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:35:57,080 –> 00:36:00,080
\nMoses was told that he had been
\nbrought up for that very purpose<\/p>\n
593
\n00:36:00,360 –> 00:36:02,080
\nhere.
\nPharaoh’s daughter said, I save <\/p>\n
594
\n00:36:02,080 –> 00:36:04,240
\nyou out of that water.
\nI’ve educated you to be a <\/p>\n
595
\n00:36:04,240 –> 00:36:05,920
\nPrince.
\nI don’t want you to go out and <\/p>\n
596
\n00:36:05,920 –> 00:36:10,480
\nnot on my house.
\nYou’re being brought up to this <\/p>\n
597
\n00:36:10,480 –> 00:36:13,120
\npoint in time for that purpose.
\nHe refused. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:36:13,240 –> 00:36:16,520
\nHe’d have nothing to do with it.
\nHe chose it rather to suffer <\/p>\n
599
\n00:36:16,520 –> 00:36:19,680
\naffliction with the people of
\nGod than to enjoy the pleasures <\/p>\n
600
\n00:36:19,680 –> 00:36:22,920
\nof sin for a season.
\nHe esteemed the reproach of <\/p>\n
601
\n00:36:22,920 –> 00:36:25,280
\nChrist by the riches and the
\ntreasures of Egypt. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:36:25,600 –> 00:36:27,080
\nEver seen the treasures of
\nEgypt? <\/p>\n
603
\n00:36:27,400 –> 00:36:30,080
\nI have.
\nI’ve seen the gold glittering <\/p>\n
604
\n00:36:30,080 –> 00:36:31,720
\nthere.
\nI know what those treasures of <\/p>\n
605
\n00:36:31,720 –> 00:36:34,240
\nEgypt mean.
\nThere’s nothing like it in all, <\/p>\n
606
\n00:36:34,440 –> 00:36:36,600
\nall the world.
\nI’ve seen the treasures of <\/p>\n
607
\n00:36:36,600 –> 00:36:39,400
\nPhilip and Messerman.
\nNot a patch upon the treasures <\/p>\n
608
\n00:36:39,400 –> 00:36:42,760
\nof To take Amen, and to take
\nAmen was a lesser, fairer. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:36:43,120 –> 00:36:45,720
\nThis man could have had all the
\ntreasures of the earth. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:36:45,720 –> 00:36:50,120
\nCould Moses, but he chose to
\nsuffer approach of Christ and he<\/p>\n
611
\n00:36:50,120 –> 00:36:53,240
\nsaw that as greater riches.
\nUnderstand. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:36:54,320 –> 00:36:56,600
\nUnderstand that he knew what he
\nwas doing. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:36:56,840 –> 00:36:59,680
\nHe was a Jew, and a Jew knows a
\ngood bargain. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:37:00,240 –> 00:37:02,840
\nAnd you see, there were the
\nriches of the world, there was <\/p>\n
615
\n00:37:02,840 –> 00:37:04,960
\nthe future.
\nHe put them on the scales, on <\/p>\n
616
\n00:37:04,960 –> 00:37:08,280
\nthe balance to see which one
\nwent down heaviest the riches of<\/p>\n
617
\n00:37:08,280 –> 00:37:10,760
\nthe world there, and he’s hoped
\nfor the future there. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:37:10,760 –> 00:37:14,640
\nAnd that went down because he
\nhad a vision of it by faith. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:37:14,640 –> 00:37:18,160
\nHe did that and see, it says
\nthat he had respect under the <\/p>\n
620
\n00:37:18,160 –> 00:37:24,120
\nrecompense of the reward.
\nHe was in the full. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:37:24,440 –> 00:37:27,880
\nHe knew what he was doing.
\nHe had respect for the <\/p>\n
622
\n00:37:27,880 –> 00:37:31,760
\nrecompense of the reward.
\nHe’d studied deeply the pledges <\/p>\n
623
\n00:37:31,760 –> 00:37:34,480
\nof God’s Word.
\nHe’d got his mind immersed in <\/p>\n
624
\n00:37:34,480 –> 00:37:37,880
\nthese things, and those things
\nnow stood him in good stead. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:37:38,040 –> 00:37:41,600
\nHe knew what he was talking
\nabout and he knew what the <\/p>\n
626
\n00:37:41,600 –> 00:37:45,200
\nfuture would reveal, and he
\nplundered that and he sought for<\/p>\n
627
\n00:37:45,200 –> 00:37:51,240
\nwhat it was, real and tangible,
\nan investment for the future and<\/p>\n
628
\n00:37:51,240 –> 00:37:57,360
\njust a little time of suffering,
\nreproach, in this case, 120 <\/p>\n
629
\n00:37:57,360 –> 00:38:01,920
\nyears.
\nBut eternity is before Moses, <\/p>\n
630
\n00:38:02,120 –> 00:38:06,560
\nand eternity can be before us.
\nBrethren and sisters, I’ll give <\/p>\n
631
\n00:38:06,560 –> 00:38:10,200
\nyou a few references because
\ntime is not where it allowed me <\/p>\n
632
\n00:38:10,200 –> 00:38:12,000
\nto do it.
\nWhere the flood is referred to <\/p>\n
633
\n00:38:12,000 –> 00:38:15,160
\noutside of Genesis and outside
\nof the New Testament. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:38:15,160 –> 00:38:18,200
\nOh, not outside of the New
\nTestament, but you have the <\/p>\n
635
\n00:38:18,200 –> 00:38:23,640
\nwarning of the flood in the
\nwords of Job 22, verses 15 to <\/p>\n
636
\n00:38:23,640 –> 00:38:25,880
\n23.
\nAnd they’re well worth <\/p>\n
637
\n00:38:25,880 –> 00:38:28,680
\nconsidering.
\nThe warning of the flood in Job <\/p>\n
638
\n00:38:28,680 –> 00:38:35,680
\nchapter 22 and verse 15 onwards.
\nBecause there you have that <\/p>\n
639
\n00:38:35,680 –> 00:38:37,960
\nwarning.
\nHast thou might the old way, <\/p>\n
640
\n00:38:37,960 –> 00:38:41,600
\nwhich wicked men have trodden,
\nwhich were cut down out of time,<\/p>\n
641
\n00:38:41,600 –> 00:38:44,280
\nwhose foundations were over
\nthreat, flown with a flood. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:38:44,720 –> 00:38:47,000
\nSo Job and his friends discuss
\nthese things. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:38:47,480 –> 00:38:51,640
\nPsalm 29 verses 10 and 11.
\nHe will sit enthrone. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:38:51,680 –> 00:38:57,120
\nGod sat enthroned at the flood.
\nWe are told there in Isaiah 54 <\/p>\n
645
\n00:38:57,120 –> 00:39:01,320
\nverses 8 and 10, there is the
\nconsolation drawn from it. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:39:01,720 –> 00:39:06,440
\nAnd in the first Peter 3 and the
\nsecond of Peter three, there is <\/p>\n
647
\n00:39:06,440 –> 00:39:11,520
\nof course the exhortation.
\nAnd we will just look again at <\/p>\n
648
\n00:39:11,520 –> 00:39:15,520
\nthat exhortation of second of
\nPeter chapter 3, because Peter <\/p>\n
649
\n00:39:15,520 –> 00:39:19,880
\nthere says this.
\nSeeing them that all these <\/p>\n
650
\n00:39:19,880 –> 00:39:23,440
\nthings shall be dissolved, what
\nmanner of persons ought ye to be<\/p>\n
651
\n00:39:23,440 –> 00:39:26,880
\nin all holy conversation and
\ngodliness, Looking for and <\/p>\n
652
\n00:39:26,880 –> 00:39:29,640
\nearnestly desiring the coming of
\nthe day of God? <\/p>\n
653
\n00:39:30,640 –> 00:39:34,000
\nLooking for and earnestly
\ndesiring the coming of the day <\/p>\n
654
\n00:39:34,000 –> 00:39:36,960
\nof God.
\nAnd in the meantime account that<\/p>\n
655
\n00:39:36,960 –> 00:39:39,160
\nthe long-suffering of God is
\nsalvation. <\/p>\n
656
\n00:39:39,240 –> 00:39:42,120
\nIt’s our opportunity.
\nThat’s what he means, our <\/p>\n
657
\n00:39:42,160 –> 00:39:44,320
\nopportunity to make Our Calling
\nan election. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:39:44,320 –> 00:39:47,960
\nShort time is short.
\nLet’s use it objectively. <\/p>\n
659
\n00:39:48,120 –> 00:39:50,960
\nLet us see that we can put into
\npractice the principles of <\/p>\n
660
\n00:39:50,960 –> 00:39:53,840
\nAlmighty God.
\nAnd if we do that, then we can <\/p>\n
661
\n00:39:53,840 –> 00:39:57,880
\nlook with equanimity and with
\nhope to this developing world of<\/p>\n
662
\n00:39:57,880 –> 00:40:01,200
\nwickedness, knowing that the
\nstrong, infallible hands of <\/p>\n
663
\n00:40:01,240 –> 00:40:05,520
\nJesus Christ shall soon take
\nhold in the name of God. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:40:06,880 –> 00:40:09,040
\nIt’s been a great pleasure,
\nbrethren and sisters, to be with<\/p>\n
665
\n00:40:09,040 –> 00:40:10,920
\nyou at this Bible school.
\nIndeed it has. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:40:11,320 –> 00:40:13,800
\nIt’s been lovely to renew
\nfellowships with those that <\/p>\n
667
\n00:40:13,800 –> 00:40:19,240
\nwe’ve met before and also to
\nextend our fellowship with those<\/p>\n
668
\n00:40:19,360 –> 00:40:24,760
\nwe have not met previously.
\nBoth Sister Doris and myself. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:40:24,760 –> 00:40:27,640
\nI’d like to thank you very much
\nfor your hospitality, your <\/p>\n
670
\n00:40:27,640 –> 00:40:30,720
\nkindness, and your fellowship in
\nthe things of God. <\/p>\n
671
\n00:40:31,440 –> 00:40:34,400
\nWe leave unfortunately today
\nbecause we’ve got to be at the <\/p>\n
672
\n00:40:34,400 –> 00:40:38,520
\nManitoulin School tomorrow and
\nthen the following Sunday at the<\/p>\n
673
\n00:40:38,520 –> 00:40:41,840
\nMidwest School and the following
\nSunday after that at the Silver <\/p>\n
674
\n00:40:41,840 –> 00:40:43,920
\nStar School.
\nAnd then we take plane to New <\/p>\n
675
\n00:40:43,920 –> 00:40:45,480
\nZealand for the New Zealand
\nSchool. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:40:45,760 –> 00:40:48,600
\nAnd then when that ends, of
\ncourse the Australian still <\/p>\n
677
\n00:40:49,200 –> 00:40:52,320
\nstill school commences, which
\nare supposed to be at, but I’ve <\/p>\n
678
\n00:40:52,640 –> 00:40:54,800
\ntold them I don’t think I’ll be
\nable to get to the Australian <\/p>\n
679
\n00:40:54,800 –> 00:40:57,240
\nschool.
\nIt’s been a great pleasure for <\/p>\n
680
\n00:40:57,240 –> 00:41:01,360
\nus to be with you here.
\nWe would leave with you a final <\/p>\n
681
\n00:41:01,360 –> 00:41:05,280
\nexcitation that it’s to the
\nextent that we immerse our minds<\/p>\n
682
\n00:41:05,280 –> 00:41:08,880
\nand the things of God, the Word
\nof God, we will make Our Calling<\/p>\n
683
\n00:41:08,880 –> 00:41:10,000
\nand election.
\nSure. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:41:10,280 –> 00:41:13,000
\nThat’s what Noah did.
\nHe built the ark whilst he <\/p>\n
685
\n00:41:13,080 –> 00:41:15,040
\ncondemned the world by his very
\naction. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:41:15,520 –> 00:41:18,520
\nIf we can help you at all in
\nthat regard, we would be very <\/p>\n
687
\n00:41:18,520 –> 00:41:22,720
\nhappy to do so.
\nIf you would like to study these<\/p>\n
688
\n00:41:22,720 –> 00:41:26,480
\nsubjects a little more deeply
\nand prepare to mark up your <\/p>\n
689
\n00:41:26,480 –> 00:41:30,160
\nBible with them, I would be
\nquite happy to send you study <\/p>\n
690
\n00:41:30,160 –> 00:41:33,200
\nnotes on each of the verses
\nright up to the 6th chapter of <\/p>\n
691
\n00:41:33,200 –> 00:41:35,160
\nGenesis.
\nI haven’t got study notes on <\/p>\n
692
\n00:41:35,160 –> 00:41:37,120
\nthem, so I’d have to prepare
\nthese for you. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:41:37,320 –> 00:41:40,840
\nI’ll be very happy to do that if
\nyou want that done, but I <\/p>\n
694
\n00:41:40,840 –> 00:41:43,200
\nwouldn’t want to do it just for
\nyou to take those study notes <\/p>\n
695
\n00:41:43,200 –> 00:41:46,640
\nand put them in the shell.
\nIf you are prepared to make up <\/p>\n
696
\n00:41:46,640 –> 00:41:50,640
\nyour Bible on these things and
\nstudy them for yourself, then I <\/p>\n
697
\n00:41:50,640 –> 00:41:54,760
\nwould be very happy to play that
\npart in forwarding these notes <\/p>\n
698
\n00:41:54,760 –> 00:41:58,680
\nto you and also to give you some
\nsuggestions if you want them on <\/p>\n
699
\n00:41:58,680 –> 00:42:02,960
\nsuch a thing as Bible marking.
\nBut may Yahweh be with you and <\/p>\n
700
\n00:42:02,960 –> 00:42:06,600
\nmay be with us in our traveling
\nsince we depart this place. <\/p>\n
701
\n00:42:07,040 –> 00:42:10,440
\nMay the Lord Jesus Christ soon
\nreturn, and may it be our great <\/p>\n
702
\n00:42:10,440 –> 00:42:13,720
\nprivilege and joy to be
\nassociated together in the <\/p>\n
703
\n00:42:13,720 –> 00:42:17,600
\necclesia of God in the age to
\ncut when we will see eye to eye <\/p>\n
704
\n00:42:17,600 –> 00:42:21,880
\nwith every with each other.
\nNo longer will there be any <\/p>\n
705
\n00:42:21,880 –> 00:42:25,440
\nmisunderstanding or anything of
\nthat nature clothed upon within <\/p>\n
706
\n00:42:25,440 –> 00:42:29,560
\nmortality associated with the
\nLord Jesus Christ and able to <\/p>\n
707
\n00:42:29,600 –> 00:42:35,360
\nmeet with with Noah and with
\nEnoch and with these other men, <\/p>\n
708
\n00:42:36,040 –> 00:42:39,880
\nand to inquire of them, what
\nwere things like in your day? <\/p>\n
709
\n00:42:40,480 –> 00:42:43,400
\nAnd they might say to us, well,
\nyou lived in days comparable to <\/p>\n
710
\n00:42:43,400 –> 00:42:45,800
\nours, what were things like in
\nyour day? <\/p>\n
711
\n00:42:46,400 –> 00:42:49,720
\nAnd we may be able to speak
\ntogether of the association of <\/p>\n
712
\n00:42:49,720 –> 00:42:53,840
\none another around the Word of
\nGod and rejoice in that day, <\/p>\n
713
\n00:42:53,840 –> 00:42:56,960
\nbecause it’s been fruitful even
\nunto light eternal. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:42:57,280 –> 00:43:00,320
\nMay God bless you, and may He
\nbless us to that it. <\/p>\n
715
\n00:43:00,600 –> 00:43:03,600
\nAnd may this time soon come when
\nBarbour stores are rendered <\/p>\n
716
\n00:43:03,600 –> 00:43:07,400
\nunnecessary in the presence of
\nthe greatest school of all time,<\/p>\n
717
\n00:43:07,600 –> 00:43:10,520
\npresided over by the Lord Jesus
\nChrist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
