Class 5 from this series was used in GCT Episode 346.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:08,080 –> 00:00:11,880
\nbeing given to us by our brother
\nPurse Mansfield on the general <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:11,880 –> 00:00:18,400
\nsubject before the deluge.
\nToday’s topic is development of <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:18,400 –> 00:00:21,640
\nmaterialism and the descendants
\nof Cain. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:30,600 –> 00:00:34,240
\nThe great theme of our study at
\nthis point of Genesis is, of <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:34,240 –> 00:00:38,520
\ncourse, the elucidation of the
\nwords of the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:38,520 –> 00:00:42,640
\nAs it was in the days of Noah,
\nso shall it be at the coming of <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:42,640 –> 00:00:47,120
\nthe Son of Man, and I believe
\nthat we will see that they’re <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:47,120 –> 00:00:51,800
\ndeveloped in the days following
\nthe the rejection of claim. <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:52,120 –> 00:00:55,480
\nThey developed in those days a
\nsystem of things upon the earth <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:55,800 –> 00:00:59,680
\nthat was an exact parallel with
\nwhich we are familiar today. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:01:00,560 –> 00:01:03,840
\nVery interesting to see this
\ndevelop in this particular part <\/p>\n
13
\n00:01:03,840 –> 00:01:06,600
\nof Genesis.
\nBut what is more important and <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:06,600 –> 00:01:10,120
\nwhat will engage our attention
\ntomorrow is what we should be <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:10,120 –> 00:01:13,760
\ndoing in regard to it.
\nAnd we will see that from the <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:13,760 –> 00:01:17,800
\nexample that is set before us by
\nwhere the men of old. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:18,680 –> 00:01:21,800
\nFirst of all, as we come to
\nconsider this particular section<\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:21,800 –> 00:01:25,200
\nof the subject, we must bear in
\nmind that the names that are <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:25,200 –> 00:01:29,480
\ngiven in the book of in the
\nBible most often have a very, <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:29,480 –> 00:01:31,400
\nvery significant meaning to
\nthem. <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:31,960 –> 00:01:35,960
\nAnd that meaning to the names
\ncan help us to understand <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:35,960 –> 00:01:38,400
\ncertain circumstances that might
\narise. <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:39,160 –> 00:01:42,240
\nFor example, we have the name
\nAbram, which means exalted <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:42,240 –> 00:01:45,560
\nfather, changed to Abraham, the
\nfather of a multitude. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:45,960 –> 00:01:49,040
\nWe have the name Jacob, which
\nmeans supplanted, changed to <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:49,080 –> 00:01:51,880
\nIsrael, which means a Prince
\nwith God. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:52,440 –> 00:01:55,600
\nAnd all these names are more
\nthan the name of convenience, <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:55,600 –> 00:01:59,960
\nlike we might use, for example,
\nyou call me Purse. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:59,960 –> 00:02:01,200
\nWhat’s that means?
\nExcel? <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:01,200 –> 00:02:03,000
\nI don’t know, except it’s pretty
\nempty. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:03,320 –> 00:02:07,000
\nBut all names today have not at
\nthat significance. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:07,000 –> 00:02:09,600
\nBut in those days they had a
\nsignificance. <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:10,199 –> 00:02:15,240
\nMoses was drawn out because his
\nname means that and so forth, <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:15,240 –> 00:02:17,920
\nright throughout the Scriptures.
\nThese names are quite important,<\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:18,320 –> 00:02:21,880
\nand they have an index to either
\nthe person concerned or the <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:21,880 –> 00:02:26,240
\ncircumstances in which he lived.
\nYou will find, if you follow <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:26,240 –> 00:02:29,360
\nthis theme through for your own
\nstudy of the Word of God, that <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:29,360 –> 00:02:31,280
\nthere’s not a.
\nChapter of the Bible. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:31,280 –> 00:02:33,240
\nThat’s not outstandingly
\ninteresting. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:34,240 –> 00:02:38,640
\nI made that statement once when
\nI was expounding the scriptures <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:38,640 –> 00:02:42,880
\nto friends in in in public
\nmeetings and this, these were <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:42,880 –> 00:02:46,160
\nchallenged nights and they could
\nchallenge anything that was <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:46,160 –> 00:02:48,600
\nsaid.
\nAnd I made that point and I <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:48,600 –> 00:02:50,920
\nchallenged the audience.
\nI said you show me a patched <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:50,920 –> 00:02:54,440
\nchapter of the Bible that cannot
\nbe made thrillingly interesting.<\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:54,760 –> 00:02:57,400
\nAnd the man stood up in the
\naudience and he quoted the first<\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:57,400 –> 00:03:01,480
\nof Chronicles chapter 1, but
\nthat reads Adam, Seth, Enos, <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:01,480 –> 00:03:05,960
\nKeenan, Mallele and so forth.
\nJust a list of names, but <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:05,960 –> 00:03:09,080
\nfortunately I had given a little
\nbit of study to that and I was <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:09,080 –> 00:03:12,560
\nable to point out that in that
\nlist of names, when you <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:12,560 –> 00:03:16,400
\ncarefully look at that list of
\nnames, God is revealing a very <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:16,400 –> 00:03:19,920
\nimportant principle.
\nAnd the principle is this, that <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:19,920 –> 00:03:23,200
\nmen that appeared strong and
\nmighty in their day and <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:23,200 –> 00:03:28,720
\ngeneration stated some view,
\nwhereas those that were perhaps <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:28,720 –> 00:03:33,240
\nin obscurity or in weakness,
\ntheir line was continued. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:33,920 –> 00:03:37,640
\nThat’s the same as Jacob.
\nJacob wandered down in the land <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:37,640 –> 00:03:41,840
\nof promise, and he was in
\ntrouble. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:42,160 –> 00:03:44,840
\nHis family was giving him
\nconcern. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:45,200 –> 00:03:49,760
\nHis favorite son was in Egypt,
\nand the general state of Jacob <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:49,760 –> 00:03:54,200
\nwas not one of power and might.
\nOn the other hand, contemporary <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:54,200 –> 00:03:57,400
\nwith him, the Edomites had
\nestablished themselves in a <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:57,480 –> 00:04:00,880
\nvery, very powerful monarchy and
\nDukes were reigning there. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:01,320 –> 00:04:04,920
\nThey faded, Jacob continues to
\nthis very day. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:05,360 –> 00:04:07,520
\nSo these names are quite
\ninteresting. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:07,640 –> 00:04:13,200
\nWhat we find in the in the 4th
\nchapter of Genesis, which is <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:13,200 –> 00:04:17,440
\nengaging our attention now we’ve
\ncome yesterday to the point of <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:17,440 –> 00:04:22,440
\nLanex Lane, Maggie name means
\nwhose name means overthrower, <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:23,120 –> 00:04:26,640
\nwhose name can signify a strong
\nyoung man. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:27,520 –> 00:04:32,760
\nAnd we reached the stage before
\nthe flood of perilous times. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:33,440 –> 00:04:37,200
\nWe know what Paul warns us in
\nthe second of Timothy chapter 3 <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:38,040 –> 00:04:42,880
\nafter know therefore, that in
\nthe last days perilous times <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:42,880 –> 00:04:45,680
\nshall come.
\nWe’ve reached those perilous <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:45,680 –> 00:04:49,280
\ntimes and here they are
\nforeshadowed in the life of <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:49,280 –> 00:04:53,520
\nLamac and his family.
\nAnd these are given in greater <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:53,520 –> 00:04:57,400
\ndetail the life of Lamech.
\nAnd we’re going to see that his <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:57,400 –> 00:05:02,680
\ngreat, his great, his great
\ncontemporary is Enoch. <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:02,840 –> 00:05:06,320
\nAnd there’s going to be a
\nchallenge between these two men <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:06,440 –> 00:05:09,840
\nof old.
\nSo Lamech stands for the <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:09,960 –> 00:05:13,000
\noverthrower.
\nHe lives in perilous times. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:13,000 –> 00:05:15,440
\nHe introduces those perilous
\ntimes. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:15,800 –> 00:05:18,520
\nAnd he and his family are
\nresponsible for a state of <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:18,520 –> 00:05:23,840
\npermissiveness, profit, pleasure
\nand power to dominate the world <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:23,840 –> 00:05:27,280
\nat that time.
\nAn exact foreshadowing of the <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:27,280 –> 00:05:30,040
\npresent.
\nWe pointed out yesterday that <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:30,040 –> 00:05:33,520
\nfor the first time we have
\npolygamy introduced into the <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:33,520 –> 00:05:36,280
\nthings of God.
\nA state of things that is <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:36,280 –> 00:05:38,800
\ncontrary to what God had
\nestablished in Eden. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:39,480 –> 00:05:44,480
\nSo that Lomax, for the first
\ntime Lomax takes 2 wives. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:45,000 –> 00:05:48,280
\nSo you see, there is a moral
\ndeclension at that particular <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:48,280 –> 00:05:51,480
\ntime, as there is a moral
\ndeclension today. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:52,160 –> 00:05:56,280
\nAnd that moral declension today
\nis challenging ecclesias, no <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:56,280 –> 00:06:00,080
\ndoubt about that, in every part
\nof the world, because the <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:00,080 –> 00:06:04,560
\nenvironment in which we’re
\nliving, it accepts things today <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:04,560 –> 00:06:08,240
\nthat it never would have
\naccepted 10\/15\/20 or more years <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:08,240 –> 00:06:12,320
\nago.
\nAnd very often environment will <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:12,320 –> 00:06:16,200
\naffect our own lives.
\nAnd we must exercise care. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:17,440 –> 00:06:20,720
\nWe must exercise care if we want
\nthe Kingdom of God. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:21,520 –> 00:06:23,760
\nAnd it’s very important that we
\nshould do that. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:24,360 –> 00:06:28,480
\nWe can do it in our own lives,
\nin our own example, in our own <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:29,120 –> 00:06:31,800
\nway, in within the ecclesia of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:32,240 –> 00:06:37,440
\nWe must maintain standards at
\nall costs, because if we don’t, <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:37,880 –> 00:06:41,600
\nwe have the parallel what
\nhappened in the days of Noah and<\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:41,600 –> 00:06:45,240
\nremember that the.
\nLord Jesus Christ said speaking <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:45,240 –> 00:06:48,000
\nto the apostles.
\nTo his own followers. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:48,440 –> 00:06:53,080
\nAs it was in the days of Noah.
\nSo shall it be at the coming of <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:53,080 –> 00:06:55,840
\nthe Son of Man.
\nAnd remember this, as we pointed<\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:55,840 –> 00:06:59,040
\nout and tried to stress that he
\nsaid nothing about the violence <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:59,040 –> 00:07:00,920
\nof the earth.
\nHe said nothing about the <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:00,920 –> 00:07:04,920
\ncorruption of the earth.
\nHe spoke of ordinary things <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:05,160 –> 00:07:08,560
\nhaving relationship to the
\nfollowers of Almighty God. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:10,520 –> 00:07:14,840
\nAnd in the days of Noah, eight
\npeople only were saved of all <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:14,840 –> 00:07:19,480
\nthose who were categorized as
\nsons of God, and the eight were <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:19,480 –> 00:07:23,240
\nsaved.
\nAnd Jesus Christ said as it was <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:23,240 –> 00:07:27,080
\nin the days of Noah.
\nAnd it’s a matter of deep <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:27,080 –> 00:07:31,440
\nconcern with me personally,
\nthose words, I see it as a <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:31,440 –> 00:07:36,720
\nchallenge.
\nAnd therefore it is, as I said, <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:37,000 –> 00:07:43,160
\nof deep concern, because if we
\ncan play any part whatever in <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:43,160 –> 00:07:48,240
\nthe ecclesias of God, we must
\nendeavour to play a part that <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:48,240 –> 00:07:51,600
\nwill challenge the environment
\nin which we’re living, whether <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:51,600 –> 00:07:55,880
\nit be in dress, whether it be in
\nconduct, whatever it may be in <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:55,880 –> 00:07:58,160
\ndoctrine.
\nThose standards must be <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:58,160 –> 00:08:01,760
\nmaintained.
\nOtherwise we are going to find <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:02,120 –> 00:08:05,880
\nthat, as it was in the days of
\nNoah, affects us in a very <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:06,000 –> 00:08:08,800
\nadverse sense.
\nNow here we have it. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:08,800 –> 00:08:11,000
\nIn the days of Lamac he took two
\nwives. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:11,000 –> 00:08:13,920
\nThe name of 1 was Ada, and the
\nname of the other was Zilla. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:14,440 –> 00:08:16,920
\nAnd I think I pointed out
\nyesterday that the name Ada <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:16,920 –> 00:08:20,360
\nmeans adorn and zilla means
\nshade. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:20,360 –> 00:08:24,120
\nIt comes from a root, Hebrew
\nroot, that means to hover over 1<\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:24,600 –> 00:08:27,720
\nto protect.
\nSo that here is Lamac having the<\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:27,720 –> 00:08:30,440
\nbest of both worlds.
\nHe’s got beauty and he’s got <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:30,440 –> 00:08:34,679
\ncare, and his two wives are
\nattending to him in every way <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:34,679 –> 00:08:37,919
\nthat he desires.
\nThat was the state of Lamac. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:38,880 –> 00:08:43,480
\nNow we read in that same context
\nthat as far as Ada was <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:43,480 –> 00:08:49,480
\nconcerned, she bear Jabel.
\nJabel, that word signifies to <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:49,480 –> 00:08:54,000
\nproduce like a manufacturer.
\nHe was the great producer, the <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:54,000 –> 00:08:57,680
\ngreat manufacturer, the economic
\ngenius of the family, the <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:57,680 –> 00:09:01,200
\ncommercial man.
\nHe stood for profit, not <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:01,200 –> 00:09:07,920
\nPROPHEP, but PROFIT.
\nHe stood for profit. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:08,160 –> 00:09:11,880
\nDid this man, because you notice
\nthat as far as he was concerned <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:12,040 –> 00:09:15,760
\nhe was the father of them that
\ndwell in tents and of such as <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:15,760 –> 00:09:19,000
\nhave cattle, he was the father
\nof them. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:19,360 –> 00:09:21,120
\nHe didn’t dwell on the tent
\nhimself. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:21,320 –> 00:09:23,280
\nHe didn’t look after the sheep
\nand the cattle. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:23,440 –> 00:09:26,280
\nHe was no shepherd.
\nHe was the father of them that <\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:26,280 –> 00:09:28,280
\ndid that.
\nHe employed them. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:28,480 –> 00:09:31,440
\nSo he had his business interest
\nin all parts of the earth at <\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:31,440 –> 00:09:34,440
\nthat particular time.
\nHe was a commercial genius of <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:34,440 –> 00:09:38,760
\nthe family and he developed the
\nmaterial resources of that <\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:38,760 –> 00:09:40,960
\nfamily.
\nWhilst Lanek stood for <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:40,960 –> 00:09:43,120
\npermissiveness, he stood for
\nprofit. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:43,520 –> 00:09:45,720
\nAnd that’s a feature of life
\ntoday, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:46,120 –> 00:09:49,400
\nThe development of profits among
\nthese great combines that we see<\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:49,400 –> 00:09:52,720
\ndeveloping on every hand.
\nAnd men are being brought into a<\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:52,720 –> 00:09:55,800
\nstate of slavery under the
\ncontrol of these great combines <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:55,800 –> 00:09:59,040
\ntoday, no doubt about that.
\nSo that some of these big <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:59,040 –> 00:10:04,200
\nbusinesses demand you give them
\nyour body and soul as you engage<\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:04,200 –> 00:10:06,720
\nin their service.
\nSome of them even demand that <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:06,720 –> 00:10:10,760
\nyou find your social activities
\nin the social organisations that<\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:10,760 –> 00:10:13,640
\nthey will establish.
\nSome of them in Australia, they <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:13,640 –> 00:10:16,560
\nhave their own sports
\norganization and you are <\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:16,560 –> 00:10:19,560
\nexpected to be in that that
\norganization as well. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:20,080 –> 00:10:23,200
\nAnd they treat you as pharaoh
\ntreated the slaves in Egypt. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:10:23,680 –> 00:10:25,920
\nThey had plenty of Egypt when
\nthey were slaves. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:10:25,920 –> 00:10:27,880
\nThey remembered that back in the
\nwilderness. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:10:27,880 –> 00:10:31,840
\nThey remembered how they ate in
\nin the in in Egypt and how much <\/p>\n
167
\n00:10:31,840 –> 00:10:35,280
\npreferable it was to the arid
\nwandering in the desert. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:10:36,040 –> 00:10:39,080
\nAnd so it is as far as business
\nis concerned today. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:39,200 –> 00:10:43,400
\nWe must be on our guard and we
\nmust be prepared to to stand up <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:43,400 –> 00:10:47,320
\nagainst the pressures that are
\nbeing brought upon us and by <\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:47,320 –> 00:10:50,920
\ndetermination of faith, do what
\nwe believe is right on the side <\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:50,920 –> 00:10:52,600
\nof God.
\nWe’ll be alright. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:53,840 –> 00:10:57,320
\nYou know, the Lord Jesus Christ
\nhimself in the 6th chapter of <\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:57,320 –> 00:11:02,800
\nMatthew, he speaks about this
\nand he tells us that we need to <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:02,840 –> 00:11:07,800
\nexercise extreme care in that
\ndirection and that we need in in<\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:07,800 –> 00:11:10,480
\nthat way to see before us one
\nthing only. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:10,720 –> 00:11:17,040
\nAnd that is a position in the
\nKingdom of God, because he says <\/p>\n
178
\n00:11:17,040 –> 00:11:25,920
\nthere in the 6th chapter of
\nMatthew, take no thought, no <\/p>\n
179
\n00:11:25,920 –> 00:11:28,880
\nanxious thought.
\nWhat shall we eat or what shall <\/p>\n
180
\n00:11:28,880 –> 00:11:30,760
\nwe?
\nDrink or wherewithal shall we be<\/p>\n
181
\n00:11:30,760 –> 00:11:34,120
\nclothed?
\nFor after all these things do <\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:34,440 –> 00:11:39,760
\nthe Gentiles seek, and your
\nheavenly Father knoweth that he <\/p>\n
183
\n00:11:39,760 –> 00:11:44,440
\nneed these things.
\nBut seek ye first the Kingdom of<\/p>\n
184
\n00:11:44,440 –> 00:11:49,560
\nGod and His righteousness, and
\nthese things will be added unto <\/p>\n
185
\n00:11:49,560 –> 00:11:51,880
\nyou.
\nNow, that doesn’t mean that we <\/p>\n
186
\n00:11:51,880 –> 00:11:54,680
\ncan flout everything and merely
\nsay, well, I’m not going to <\/p>\n
187
\n00:11:54,680 –> 00:11:57,320
\nworry even at work today.
\nAnd some people say in <\/p>\n
188
\n00:11:57,320 –> 00:12:02,240
\nAustralia, it doesn’t mean that
\nyou act like that in all that <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:02,240 –> 00:12:04,000
\nyou do.
\nDo it with all your mind, <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:04,000 –> 00:12:05,800
\nincluding business.
\nBut. <\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:05,800 –> 00:12:09,960
\nDon’t allow that to obscure your
\nvision of the first essentials, <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:09,960 –> 00:12:13,760
\nthe first priority.
\nThink ye first, the Kingdom of <\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:13,760 –> 00:12:17,480
\nGod and his righteousness.
\nAnd that should be the main <\/p>\n
194
\n00:12:17,480 –> 00:12:21,720
\nobjective of our life, and that
\nshould be the the basis upon <\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:21,720 –> 00:12:25,280
\nwhich we found our own families,
\nso that when we’ve got young <\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:25,360 –> 00:12:29,160
\nchildren of an evening, that
\nprime is ours, not the world’s <\/p>\n
197
\n00:12:29,160 –> 00:12:31,560
\noutside.
\nAnd that home is an Oasis for <\/p>\n
198
\n00:12:31,560 –> 00:12:34,280
\nthe truth.
\nSo we gather the children around<\/p>\n
199
\n00:12:34,280 –> 00:12:37,400
\nus and we do the readings.
\nAnd even when those kitties are <\/p>\n
200
\n00:12:37,400 –> 00:12:42,120
\nyoung and they can hardly read,
\nthey stutter out words like, you<\/p>\n
201
\n00:12:42,120 –> 00:12:47,160
\nknow, you get onto on the 14th
\nof Matthew Genesis. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:12:47,360 –> 00:12:51,560
\nAnd the little child tried to
\nspell out Kedila Lama and finds <\/p>\n
203
\n00:12:51,560 –> 00:12:55,120
\nit very, very difficult.
\nBut it’s a very good exercise, a<\/p>\n
204
\n00:12:55,120 –> 00:12:58,800
\nvery good exercise indeed.
\nAnd it’s teaching that child <\/p>\n
205
\n00:12:58,800 –> 00:13:01,360
\nsomething that 1,000,000 words
\nwill never teach it. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:01,720 –> 00:13:04,360
\nAnd that is its parents have got
\na reverence for this word of <\/p>\n
207
\n00:13:04,360 –> 00:13:10,680
\nGod, a reverence for that word
\nof God, the same as when we give<\/p>\n
208
\n00:13:10,680 –> 00:13:14,120
\nfirst priority to our attendance
\nat the meetings, not even the <\/p>\n
209
\n00:13:14,120 –> 00:13:16,680
\nmemorial meetings, the study
\nclasses. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:13:17,800 –> 00:13:21,720
\nAnd it’s an object lesson to our
\nown families at that meeting is <\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:21,840 –> 00:13:25,560
\nfirst priority.
\nGod is first in our lives. <\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:26,600 –> 00:13:29,080
\nNow this was not the case in the
\nfamily of Lamech. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:13:29,520 –> 00:13:34,760
\nAnd as far and as far as Gabel
\nwas concerned, his first concern<\/p>\n
214
\n00:13:35,080 –> 00:13:38,240
\nwas of course, to build up the
\nfamily resources and material <\/p>\n
215
\n00:13:38,240 –> 00:13:42,160
\nthings and he become the father
\nof them, that women Kents and of<\/p>\n
216
\n00:13:42,160 –> 00:13:45,280
\nsuch as have cattle.
\nSo he employed people in this <\/p>\n
217
\n00:13:45,280 –> 00:13:49,760
\nway and he extended his
\ninfluence and his possessions on<\/p>\n
218
\n00:13:49,760 –> 00:13:52,320
\nall sides.
\nAnd the family of Lamechs <\/p>\n
219
\n00:13:52,320 –> 00:13:54,120
\ngrowing up, very well, thank
\nyou. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:13:55,720 –> 00:14:00,080
\nNow they have another son.
\nHis brother’s son, we read in <\/p>\n
221
\n00:14:00,080 –> 00:14:06,760
\nverse 21, was called Jubal, and
\nhe was the father of all such as<\/p>\n
222
\n00:14:06,760 –> 00:14:10,920
\nHandel, the harp and organ.
\nFrom this word Jubal, you get <\/p>\n
223
\n00:14:10,920 –> 00:14:14,840
\nthe word jubilee, and it comes
\nfrom a Hebrew root meaning <\/p>\n
224
\n00:14:14,920 –> 00:14:18,800
\njoyous music.
\nSo the second son is going to <\/p>\n
225
\n00:14:18,800 –> 00:14:21,400
\nlook after the pleasure of life.
\nHe’s going to be the great <\/p>\n
226
\n00:14:21,440 –> 00:14:25,720
\nentertainer.
\nNot that he is himself <\/p>\n
227
\n00:14:25,760 –> 00:14:29,000
\nnecessarily is engaging in this.
\nThey doubtless he plays very <\/p>\n
228
\n00:14:29,000 –> 00:14:33,560
\npleasantly, but he’s the father
\nof them, has handled the Harvard<\/p>\n
229
\n00:14:33,560 –> 00:14:38,120
\norgan.
\nHe organises the pop groups <\/p>\n
230
\n00:14:38,120 –> 00:14:39,840
\naround the world of that
\npromise. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:14:40,640 –> 00:14:45,280
\nHe’s got pleasure, so that
\npleasure becomes big business. <\/p>\n
232
\n00:14:45,920 –> 00:14:50,520
\nHe’s the entertainer of the
\nfamily of Lamech and on all <\/p>\n
233
\n00:14:50,520 –> 00:14:55,040
\nsides you hear the songs of
\nhumor and he is applauded on all<\/p>\n
234
\n00:14:55,040 –> 00:14:58,080
\nsides and he is governing the
\nworld at that particular time <\/p>\n
235
\n00:14:58,400 –> 00:15:00,280
\nfrom an entertainment point of
\nview. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:15:00,960 –> 00:15:05,040
\nSo that whilst the first son has
\nengaged in profits and in his <\/p>\n
237
\n00:15:05,280 –> 00:15:10,480
\ncommercial extension, the second
\nson has given over the pleasure <\/p>\n
238
\n00:15:10,480 –> 00:15:13,440
\nand entertainment.
\nNot that he particularly has <\/p>\n
239
\n00:15:13,440 –> 00:15:17,160
\nengaged in pleasure, but he’s
\nmaking a business out of it and <\/p>\n
240
\n00:15:17,160 –> 00:15:20,200
\nthat business is dominating the
\nworld from that angle at that <\/p>\n
241
\n00:15:20,200 –> 00:15:24,640
\nparticular time.
\nSee how there is a paraphrase, A<\/p>\n
242
\n00:15:24,640 –> 00:15:27,600
\nforeshadowing rather of what is
\ntaking place today. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:15:28,280 –> 00:15:32,160
\nLook at the decline in music in
\nthe last 30 odd years. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:15:32,920 –> 00:15:37,560
\nLook what passes torrents of
\nmusic today and, and, and the, <\/p>\n
245
\n00:15:38,000 –> 00:15:41,720
\nand the mass production of these
\nthings and the influence that it<\/p>\n
246
\n00:15:41,720 –> 00:15:46,800
\nplays that it, the influence
\nthat it exercises over young <\/p>\n
247
\n00:15:46,800 –> 00:15:49,520
\npeople.
\nYou know, they say The Beatles <\/p>\n
248
\n00:15:49,520 –> 00:15:52,040
\nplay and they all faint.
\nWell, I feel the same way, very <\/p>\n
249
\n00:15:52,040 –> 00:15:54,720
\nfaint when they play.
\nBut just the, the, the, the <\/p>\n
250
\n00:15:54,760 –> 00:15:58,360
\npoint is that here is something
\nthat is engaging the intention, <\/p>\n
251
\n00:15:58,360 –> 00:16:01,520
\nthe attention of people all over
\nthe world at that particular <\/p>\n
252
\n00:16:01,520 –> 00:16:04,120
\ntime.
\nAnd that music drives out of the<\/p>\n
253
\n00:16:04,120 –> 00:16:08,000
\nmind the things of God.
\nIt drives it out of the mind. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:16:08,480 –> 00:16:11,080
\nYou know, it matters not what we
\nmight do in life. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:16:12,240 –> 00:16:14,040
\nWe might be interested in
\nliterature. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:16:15,400 –> 00:16:18,680
\nWe may be interested in music.
\nAs a matter of fact, I’m very <\/p>\n
257
\n00:16:18,680 –> 00:16:22,440
\nfond of music.
\nI think that Beethoven music is,<\/p>\n
258
\n00:16:22,640 –> 00:16:26,400
\ncannot be excelled.
\nI like handle and I like a few <\/p>\n
259
\n00:16:26,400 –> 00:16:31,160
\nof the other composers as well.
\nI find that my mind when I play <\/p>\n
260
\n00:16:31,160 –> 00:16:33,960
\nBeethoven, it’s very harmonious
\nto me. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:16:34,600 –> 00:16:40,400
\nI, I, I enjoy it so much.
\nBut but whatever we do, whether <\/p>\n
262
\n00:16:40,400 –> 00:16:42,520
\nwe’re interested in music,
\nwhether we’re interested in <\/p>\n
263
\n00:16:42,520 –> 00:16:46,880
\nliterature, in reading, the best
\nthing is to try to elevate our <\/p>\n
264
\n00:16:46,880 –> 00:16:49,760
\nminds in that way.
\nAnd we can do that even outside <\/p>\n
265
\n00:16:49,840 –> 00:16:54,880
\nthe influence of the Bible.
\nYou can read good books or you <\/p>\n
266
\n00:16:54,880 –> 00:16:58,520
\ncan listen to good music.
\nYou can educate yourself in <\/p>\n
267
\n00:16:58,640 –> 00:17:01,400
\nthese good things and it raises
\nthe mind. <\/p>\n
268
\n00:17:01,400 –> 00:17:04,400
\nIt’s a very, very good exercise
\nfrom that standpoint. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:17:05,040 –> 00:17:11,880
\nThe trouble is today we have so
\nmuch rubbish that’s published. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:17:13,000 –> 00:17:16,480
\nOr performed.
\nThat it degrades the mind. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:17:18,119 –> 00:17:25,440
\nI am told that every day
\n18,000,000 trees are cut down. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:17:26,400 –> 00:17:32,520
\nIn the world, 18,000,000 trees
\nare cut down, and most of those <\/p>\n
273
\n00:17:32,520 –> 00:17:36,000
\ntrees are cut down to provide
\npulp for paper. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:17:37,440 –> 00:17:40,720
\nAnd on that paper there are
\nprinted things that poison men’s<\/p>\n
275
\n00:17:40,720 –> 00:17:44,520
\nminds.
\nSo 18,000,000 trees, God’s <\/p>\n
276
\n00:17:44,520 –> 00:17:49,840
\nliving trees, are cut down to be
\npulped into paper and printed on<\/p>\n
277
\n00:17:49,840 –> 00:17:52,680
\ntheir deadly things that are
\ngoing to destroy your mind. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:17:53,520 –> 00:17:58,160
\nAnd that’s fed into your mind.
\nYou know, the tree is designed <\/p>\n
279
\n00:17:58,160 –> 00:18:01,960
\nto purify the air.
\nBut we are told by ecologists <\/p>\n
280
\n00:18:01,960 –> 00:18:05,120
\nthat we’re reaching a stage in
\nhuman history where there are <\/p>\n
281
\n00:18:05,120 –> 00:18:09,320
\nsimply not enough trees to
\npurify the air for humanity. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:18:10,320 –> 00:18:14,440
\nWe’re reaching the stage that
\nthe atom bomb or the nuclear <\/p>\n
283
\n00:18:14,440 –> 00:18:16,880
\nweapon is not going to be the
\nthing that’s going to challenge <\/p>\n
284
\n00:18:16,880 –> 00:18:23,800
\nus by, but ecology, ecology,
\necological principles, including<\/p>\n
285
\n00:18:23,880 –> 00:18:28,040
\nthese trees that they are at
\npresent time cutting down so <\/p>\n
286
\n00:18:28,040 –> 00:18:33,200
\nreadily and cannot be replaced.
\nMostly they will replace a tree <\/p>\n
287
\n00:18:33,200 –> 00:18:36,480
\nwith a pine tree, which does not
\nhelp you as far as the <\/p>\n
288
\n00:18:36,480 –> 00:18:38,360
\npurification of the air is
\nconcerned. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:18:39,280 –> 00:18:41,960
\nAustralia, for example, is not
\nenough trees. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:18:42,480 –> 00:18:45,120
\nNot enough trees.
\nAnd what’s the same result? <\/p>\n
291
\n00:18:45,360 –> 00:18:48,120
\nPeople to get irritable.
\nAnd you know how damn irritable <\/p>\n
292
\n00:18:48,400 –> 00:18:51,160
\nAustralians can get?
\nBlame it onto the trees. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:18:51,520 –> 00:18:55,800
\nBut you see, this is a situation
\nthat men cut down that which God<\/p>\n
294
\n00:18:55,800 –> 00:18:59,080
\nis designed to purify the air,
\nand they use it to poison men’s <\/p>\n
295
\n00:18:59,080 –> 00:19:01,760
\nminds.
\nNow this is the state in which <\/p>\n
296
\n00:19:01,760 –> 00:19:04,640
\nwe’re finding ourselves with
\nthese sons of Lamech. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:19:05,000 –> 00:19:09,440
\nSo there we have a Jubal noted
\nfor the heart of the organ and <\/p>\n
298
\n00:19:09,440 –> 00:19:11,880
\ngiving himself over to
\nentertainment and pleasure. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:19:12,600 –> 00:19:18,600
\nNow in verse 32 we find that
\nZilla has a son, and she called <\/p>\n
300
\n00:19:18,600 –> 00:19:24,000
\nhim Tubal Cain.
\nAnd Tubal Cain means the flowing<\/p>\n
301
\n00:19:24,000 –> 00:19:27,040
\n4th of Cain.
\nIt’s an extension of Cain. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:19:27,480 –> 00:19:29,680
\nNow we know what Cain did and
\nkilled his brother. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:19:30,720 –> 00:19:34,760
\nNow in the son of Zillah there
\nis one that’s going to extend <\/p>\n
304
\n00:19:34,760 –> 00:19:40,120
\nthat.
\nHe’s going to extend that Kane <\/p>\n
305
\n00:19:40,600 –> 00:19:47,360
\nconducted or Kane was the first
\nmurderer. <\/p>\n
306
\n00:19:47,680 –> 00:19:52,240
\nBut this descendant of Cain,
\nthis flowing 4th of Cain is <\/p>\n
307
\n00:19:52,240 –> 00:19:56,880
\ngoing to perpetuate and extend
\nthe spirit of Cain and he’s <\/p>\n
308
\n00:19:56,880 –> 00:20:01,240
\ngoing to be noted for that.
\nHe’s going to rejoice in power. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:20:01,960 –> 00:20:06,960
\nSo whilst in Lamac we have
\npermittiveness and in the Jabil <\/p>\n
310
\n00:20:06,960 –> 00:20:12,480
\nwe have Prophet and in Jubal we
\nhave pleasure, in Tubal Cain we <\/p>\n
311
\n00:20:12,480 –> 00:20:16,320
\nhave power.
\nAnd he becomes the instructor of<\/p>\n
312
\n00:20:16,320 –> 00:20:20,800
\nevery artificer in brass and
\niron, or as the Hebrew habit, <\/p>\n
313
\n00:20:20,800 –> 00:20:25,320
\nthe wetter, the sharpener of it.
\nHe is manufacturing the <\/p>\n
314
\n00:20:25,320 –> 00:20:28,520
\nmunitions of that day.
\nHe is perfecting them and <\/p>\n
315
\n00:20:28,520 –> 00:20:32,160
\nsharpening them so that he’s
\ngoing to be noted for munitions <\/p>\n
316
\n00:20:32,320 –> 00:20:35,320
\nin that pine.
\nHe’s going to stand for power, <\/p>\n
317
\n00:20:35,880 –> 00:20:39,520
\nand now re\/max surveys his
\nempire, and what more does he <\/p>\n
318
\n00:20:39,520 –> 00:20:43,040
\nwant?
\nHe is himself pleasing himself. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:20:43,040 –> 00:20:45,280
\nWhat he’s going to do as fast as
\nmorals are concerned. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:20:45,400 –> 00:20:48,280
\nWhat I want?
\nI’m going to have Where is his <\/p>\n
321
\n00:20:48,280 –> 00:20:51,640
\nson, the first son.
\nHe is the commercial genius of <\/p>\n
322
\n00:20:51,640 –> 00:20:54,520
\nthe age, bringing in the world
\ninto the family. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:20:54,880 –> 00:20:57,360
\nHis.
\nSecond son looking after the <\/p>\n
324
\n00:20:57,560 –> 00:21:00,880
\npleasure, giving the world a
\nform of escapism. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:21:00,880 –> 00:21:02,840
\nSo they don’t.
\nThink too much about God. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:21:03,240 –> 00:21:06,960
\nThe third one, noted for power
\nis the weapons of war. <\/p>\n
327
\n00:21:07,160 –> 00:21:09,240
\nHe’s the munition.
\nMaker of the Age. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:21:09,520 –> 00:21:12,880
\nAnd that is being extended at
\nthat particular time under the <\/p>\n
329
\n00:21:12,920 –> 00:21:17,640
\ninfluence of this third son,
\nJubal Kane, much the same as you<\/p>\n
330
\n00:21:17,640 –> 00:21:21,720
\nhave it today, an exact parallel
\nof what we see about us today. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:21:22,000 –> 00:21:24,000
\nDo you know how?
\nMany people are employed in <\/p>\n
332
\n00:21:24,000 –> 00:21:27,840
\nmunition works throughout the
\nworld or related industries. 80 <\/p>\n
333
\n00:21:27,840 –> 00:21:31,920
\nmillion people. 80.
\nMillion people are employed in <\/p>\n
334
\n00:21:31,920 –> 00:21:34,520
\nmunition works or related things
\naround the world. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:21:35,320 –> 00:21:37,880
\nYou imagine the sum of money
\nthat’s played out merely to <\/p>\n
336
\n00:21:37,920 –> 00:21:40,960
\nemploy them.
\nImagine the collapse of the <\/p>\n
337
\n00:21:41,200 –> 00:21:44,760
\neconomy in many parts of the
\nearth if it was stopped. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:21:45,480 –> 00:21:51,200
\nBut the manufacture of munitions
\nof, of war to die is a major <\/p>\n
339
\n00:21:51,200 –> 00:21:54,600
\nindustry throughout the world,
\nand 80 million or less than 80 <\/p>\n
340
\n00:21:54,600 –> 00:21:57,160
\nmillion people are employed in
\nthat. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:21:57,560 –> 00:22:04,000
\nAnd here we have a foreshadowing
\nof it in the work of of what’s <\/p>\n
342
\n00:22:04,000 –> 00:22:08,120
\nhis name in the work of Jubal
\nKane, who was the wetter of <\/p>\n
343
\n00:22:08,120 –> 00:22:11,040
\nevery artificer in brass and
\niron. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:22:12,400 –> 00:22:16,760
\nSo now you see we have this
\ndevelopment in the family of <\/p>\n
345
\n00:22:16,760 –> 00:22:22,760
\nLamic.
\nAnd then surprisingly, his <\/p>\n
346
\n00:22:22,760 –> 00:22:29,120
\ndaughter’s name is given.
\nNow this is most unusual, mainly<\/p>\n
347
\n00:22:29,120 –> 00:22:32,440
\nof course, because the men,
\nthat’s all friends will realize,<\/p>\n
348
\n00:22:32,440 –> 00:22:38,880
\nare the Lords of creation and
\nreally women are secondary <\/p>\n
349
\n00:22:38,880 –> 00:22:45,160
\nconsideration.
\nBut better as it may, here we <\/p>\n
350
\n00:22:45,160 –> 00:22:48,440
\nhave the daughter of Limac
\nmention. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:22:49,160 –> 00:22:52,880
\nNow that’s a very surprising
\nthing in Scripture, a very <\/p>\n
352
\n00:22:52,880 –> 00:22:56,520
\nsurprising thing, and it’s only
\ndone under exceptional <\/p>\n
353
\n00:22:56,520 –> 00:23:01,120
\ncircumstances.
\nSo there’s some some exceptional<\/p>\n
354
\n00:23:01,120 –> 00:23:06,600
\ncircumstance that that requires
\nthe mentioning of the sister of <\/p>\n
355
\n00:23:06,600 –> 00:23:11,400
\nTubal Kinas Naima.
\nNaima’s name means pleasantness.<\/p>\n
356
\n00:23:12,560 –> 00:23:16,640
\nShe is a pleasant personality.
\nAnd the mention of women and the<\/p>\n
357
\n00:23:16,640 –> 00:23:19,240
\ngenealogies of the Bible, as I
\nsaid before, and I should have <\/p>\n
358
\n00:23:19,240 –> 00:23:23,400
\nsaid it more seriously, is most
\nunusual and always there are <\/p>\n
359
\n00:23:23,400 –> 00:23:26,560
\nsome reason in it.
\nSo there’s some reason for the <\/p>\n
360
\n00:23:26,960 –> 00:23:29,760
\nfor Naima’s name being mentioned
\nhere. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:23:30,680 –> 00:23:35,360
\nAnd I believe myself that she
\nhas a plan to play when you come<\/p>\n
362
\n00:23:35,360 –> 00:23:41,680
\nto the 6th chapter of Genesis
\nand you have the sons of God saw<\/p>\n
363
\n00:23:41,720 –> 00:23:43,800
\nthe daughters of men, that they
\nwere fair. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:23:44,760 –> 00:23:48,760
\nNow here then is Naima, whose
\nname means mentioning, whose <\/p>\n
365
\n00:23:48,760 –> 00:23:53,960
\nname means pleasantness, and she
\nis beginning to assert herself <\/p>\n
366
\n00:23:54,960 –> 00:23:59,760
\nin contradiction to what we read
\nin the 3rd chapter of Genesis <\/p>\n
367
\n00:24:00,000 –> 00:24:04,160
\nand verse 16.
\nNothing much is said concerning <\/p>\n
368
\n00:24:04,160 –> 00:24:07,560
\nher, merely that her name is
\nmentioned there. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:24:07,960 –> 00:24:12,440
\nPerhaps she was flaunting her
\nfeminine beauty in some way. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:24:12,920 –> 00:24:16,480
\nPerhaps her very attitude was
\nleading to that state of things <\/p>\n
371
\n00:24:16,480 –> 00:24:20,960
\nthat we see in Genesis chapter 6
\nverses one and two, but most <\/p>\n
372
\n00:24:20,960 –> 00:24:24,280
\nlikely it was in some form of
\nwomen’s liberation. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:24:25,560 –> 00:24:28,760
\nSo you see as far as Naima was
\nconcerned, this pleasant <\/p>\n
374
\n00:24:28,760 –> 00:24:34,480
\ndaughter of Lamech, Lamech would
\nencourage her in the attitude <\/p>\n
375
\n00:24:34,480 –> 00:24:38,280
\nthat she adopted.
\nSo that now we have in addition <\/p>\n
376
\n00:24:38,480 –> 00:24:43,720
\nto the three sons of the of the
\nLamech, we have her daughter, <\/p>\n
377
\n00:24:43,720 –> 00:24:48,400
\nhis daughter Naima.
\nThat stands for permissiveness. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:24:48,720 –> 00:24:53,400
\nSo now we have the whole family,
\nthe polygamy with which is <\/p>\n
379
\n00:24:53,400 –> 00:24:58,000
\nassociated Lamech, prophet with
\nwhich is associated Jabil, <\/p>\n
380
\n00:24:58,440 –> 00:25:02,880
\npleasure with which is
\nassociated Jabil power, <\/p>\n
381
\n00:25:03,280 –> 00:25:06,600
\ncubilkane and permissiveness
\nNaima. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:25:07,000 –> 00:25:09,680
\nAnd there we have the.
\nLife of this man who is a. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:25:09,680 –> 00:25:15,360
\nLeading light among the sons of
\nCain in the in the development <\/p>\n
384
\n00:25:15,360 –> 00:25:17,440
\nof the purpose of God at that
\nparticular time. <\/p>\n
385
\n00:25:17,440 –> 00:25:22,240
\nNow with that, we’d look at his
\ncontemporary. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:25:22,680 –> 00:25:25,280
\nWe’re only going to look at his
\ncontemporary for one moment. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:25:25,360 –> 00:25:30,120
\nWe’ll go back to that later on.
\nBut the contemporary of of Lamac<\/p>\n
388
\n00:25:30,240 –> 00:25:35,120
\nwas Enoch, the Enoch that was
\ntranslated, the Enoch that’s <\/p>\n
389
\n00:25:35,120 –> 00:25:38,920
\nmentioned in the next chapter.
\nAnd as far as that is concerned,<\/p>\n
390
\n00:25:39,040 –> 00:25:43,440
\nhe challenged Lamac, he
\nchallenged Lamac. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:25:44,280 –> 00:25:47,440
\nAnd we’ve got the words of both
\ntheir challenges here to <\/p>\n
392
\n00:25:47,440 –> 00:25:50,000
\nconsider.
\nFirst of all, we’ll look at that<\/p>\n
393
\n00:25:50,000 –> 00:25:52,360
\nof Lamech, and then we’ll look
\nat that of Enoch. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:25:53,520 –> 00:25:58,080
\nHere we have it in the in the
\n23rd verse of that 4th chapter <\/p>\n
395
\n00:25:58,080 –> 00:26:01,320
\nof Genesis.
\nAnd there we have the national <\/p>\n
396
\n00:26:01,320 –> 00:26:08,400
\nanthem of Naimac.
\nAnd Lamech says, Hear my voice, <\/p>\n
397
\n00:26:09,640 –> 00:26:14,120
\nhear my voice, ye wives of
\nLamech, hug it unto my speech. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:26:14,680 –> 00:26:18,640
\nBut I have slain a man to my
\nwounding, and a young man to my <\/p>\n
399
\n00:26:18,640 –> 00:26:22,400
\nhurt, if trained, shall be
\nAvenged Sevenfold. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:26:22,720 –> 00:26:30,280
\nTruly Lamech 70 * 7.
\nTruly Lamech 70 * 7. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:26:30,760 –> 00:26:33,480
\nThat is the boast of this man
\nLamech. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:26:33,920 –> 00:26:37,280
\nThat is what he is claiming.
\nAnd that’s a song, because in <\/p>\n
403
\n00:26:37,280 –> 00:26:40,840
\nthe Hebrew it’s in poetic meter.
\nSo you see, here we have the <\/p>\n
404
\n00:26:40,840 –> 00:26:44,800
\nsong of Lamech, and we can
\nimagine that song being put to <\/p>\n
405
\n00:26:44,800 –> 00:26:48,800
\nmusic by his son, and that song
\nresounding throughout the world.<\/p>\n
406
\n00:26:49,120 –> 00:26:52,080
\nIt’s a warning.
\nNow those words can be rendered <\/p>\n
407
\n00:26:52,080 –> 00:26:55,480
\na little differently.
\nHear my voice, ye wives of <\/p>\n
408
\n00:26:55,480 –> 00:26:59,840
\nLamech, hugging unto my speech.
\nFor I would. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:26:59,840 –> 00:27:05,160
\nSlay a man if he worded me and
\nthat stands in my way to my <\/p>\n
410
\n00:27:05,160 –> 00:27:09,520
\nhurt, let.
\nAnyone stand in my way and I’ll <\/p>\n
411
\n00:27:09,520 –> 00:27:13,480
\ncute.
\nDid anyone try to stop me? <\/p>\n
412
\n00:27:13,480 –> 00:27:19,960
\nAnd I murder him.
\nAnd I don’t care who it is, I, <\/p>\n
413
\n00:27:19,960 –> 00:27:25,280
\nLamex, have spoken.
\nI have the power, the resources,<\/p>\n
414
\n00:27:25,520 –> 00:27:30,440
\nno one will stop me.
\nAnd it’s the attitude that is <\/p>\n
415
\n00:27:30,440 –> 00:27:34,040
\nreflected in the world today in
\nthis song of Lamex at that <\/p>\n
416
\n00:27:34,040 –> 00:27:38,280
\nparticular time.
\nMoreover, if Train is going to <\/p>\n
417
\n00:27:38,280 –> 00:27:44,640
\nbe Avenged Sevenfold, my lame
\nact will avenge myself 70 * 7. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:27:45,000 –> 00:27:50,080
\nI don’t want God to do it.
\nGod couldn’t keep out of my what<\/p>\n
419
\n00:27:52,240 –> 00:27:55,360
\nGod said that he would avenge
\nTrain 7 times. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:27:55,880 –> 00:27:57,360
\nNot enough for me.
\nLame act. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:27:58,520 –> 00:28:04,280
\nI will avenge myself. 70 * 7 And
\nI’ll do it myself. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:28:05,880 –> 00:28:09,640
\nAnd as far as the avenging is
\nconcerned, let anyone stare in <\/p>\n
423
\n00:28:09,640 –> 00:28:12,200
\nmy way.
\nI destroy him, he’s dead. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:28:12,400 –> 00:28:15,280
\nKeep out of my way.
\nDon’t try to hinder us. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:28:15,920 –> 00:28:21,720
\nThat was the attitude of Lamac.
\nThe words of Lamac are quoted by<\/p>\n
426
\n00:28:21,720 –> 00:28:27,000
\nJesus Christ and you have them
\nin the 18th chapter of Matthew. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:28:27,920 –> 00:28:34,560
\nAnd Jesus Christ here shows that
\nwe should, as far as that is <\/p>\n
428
\n00:28:34,560 –> 00:28:39,520
\nconcerned, we should just
\nmanifest the opposite <\/p>\n
429
\n00:28:39,520 –> 00:28:44,240
\ncharacteristic to lay back.
\nSo that in the 18th chapter of <\/p>\n
430
\n00:28:44,240 –> 00:28:47,600
\nMatthew, Peter came to the Lord
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:28:47,600 –> 00:28:51,760
\nAnd he said to him in verse 21,
\nHow else shall my brother sin <\/p>\n
432
\n00:28:51,760 –> 00:28:55,800
\nagainst me?
\nAnd I forgive him till 7 times. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:28:56,280 –> 00:29:01,360
\nAnd the Lord said unto him, I
\nsay not unto thee until 7 times,<\/p>\n
434
\n00:29:01,640 –> 00:29:10,680
\nbut until 70 * 7. 70 * 7.
\nThe very words of Lamac. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:29:11,600 –> 00:29:14,360
\nAnd I believe that the Lord
\nJesus Christ was citing the <\/p>\n
436
\n00:29:14,360 –> 00:29:18,680
\nwords of Lamac, but in reverse.
\nWhereas Lamac would avenge <\/p>\n
437
\n00:29:18,680 –> 00:29:23,160
\nhimself, 70 * 7.
\nA follower of Jesus Christ will <\/p>\n
438
\n00:29:23,160 –> 00:29:29,160
\nforgive. 70 * 7 In other words,
\nto the Outmast, he will manifest<\/p>\n
439
\n00:29:29,160 –> 00:29:33,640
\nexactly the opposite spirit to
\nthat which is shown by Lomac, <\/p>\n
440
\n00:29:33,840 –> 00:29:35,960
\nwhich is the spirit of the world
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:29:36,600 –> 00:29:39,520
\nAnd he’ll stand apart from the
\nspirit of the world today in <\/p>\n
442
\n00:29:39,520 –> 00:29:42,960
\nevery way.
\nAnd instead of following in its <\/p>\n
443
\n00:29:42,960 –> 00:29:48,600
\ncourse in the way of Cain, as we
\nhave Jude mentioning, instead of<\/p>\n
444
\n00:29:48,600 –> 00:29:52,680
\nfollowing in the way of Cain, he
\nwill stand up for a different <\/p>\n
445
\n00:29:52,680 –> 00:29:58,440
\nform of philosophy and defy the
\nworld in all that it’s means. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:29:58,720 –> 00:30:04,840
\nSo that here you see Namac, the
\nwords of Lamac are counted by <\/p>\n
447
\n00:30:04,840 –> 00:30:07,880
\nthe words of Jesus Christ.
\nAnd whilst we’re in the New <\/p>\n
448
\n00:30:07,880 –> 00:30:12,800
\nTestament, yes it’s let us just
\nbriefly look at this, the words <\/p>\n
449
\n00:30:12,800 –> 00:30:17,400
\nof Enoch, the contemporary of
\nthe Lamac and they are given in <\/p>\n
450
\n00:30:17,400 –> 00:30:19,520
\nJude and we’re going to look at
\nthese a little later. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:30:19,840 –> 00:30:25,920
\nBut here though Enoch answered
\nthe boast of Lamac in the 14th <\/p>\n
452
\n00:30:25,920 –> 00:30:30,760
\nverse of Jude, Enoch also the
\n7th from Adam. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:30:31,960 –> 00:30:34,560
\nNow here’s the 7th from Adam in
\nthe line of Seth. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:30:36,640 –> 00:30:40,560
\nAnd if you count the name,
\nyou’ll find that Lamac is the <\/p>\n
455
\n00:30:40,560 –> 00:30:42,640
\n7th from Adam in the line of
\ntime. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:30:43,880 –> 00:30:45,840
\nSo here we have the 7th from
\nAdam. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:30:46,680 –> 00:30:48,560
\nAnd he prophesied of these
\nsaying. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:30:48,880 –> 00:30:53,000
\nAnd here he’s answered the Lamac
\nand try to develop the drama of <\/p>\n
459
\n00:30:53,000 –> 00:30:55,880
\nthe situation.
\nOn all hands they can be heard <\/p>\n
460
\n00:30:55,880 –> 00:30:59,120
\nthe music of Lamac.
\nOn all sides there can be heard <\/p>\n
461
\n00:30:59,120 –> 00:31:01,920
\nthe words of Lamech, the thought
\nof Lamech. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:31:02,480 –> 00:31:04,360
\nAnd now here is the message of
\nEnoch. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:31:04,360 –> 00:31:08,680
\nOf Enoch stood earth and
\npreached the gospel message and <\/p>\n
464
\n00:31:08,680 –> 00:31:13,880
\nit wasn’t in any form of simple
\nterms in terms of love and <\/p>\n
465
\n00:31:13,880 –> 00:31:16,360
\nendearment.
\nIt was a challenging statement <\/p>\n
466
\n00:31:16,360 –> 00:31:19,720
\nthat is made by Enoch.
\nThe whole world covers with <\/p>\n
467
\n00:31:19,720 –> 00:31:23,920
\n10,000 of his Saints to execute
\njudgment upon all and to <\/p>\n
468
\n00:31:23,920 –> 00:31:27,560
\nconvince all of their ungodly
\namong them of their ungodly <\/p>\n
469
\n00:31:27,560 –> 00:31:31,240
\ndeeds which they have ungodly
\ncommitted and of all their hard <\/p>\n
470
\n00:31:31,240 –> 00:31:34,280
\nspeech which ungodly sinners
\nhave spoken against him. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:31:35,560 –> 00:31:39,600
\nThere was the answer to lame
\nact, and you know did it <\/p>\n
472
\n00:31:39,600 –> 00:31:44,200
\nfearlessly, standing out the
\nchallenge, the philosophy that <\/p>\n
473
\n00:31:44,200 –> 00:31:48,360
\nwas set forth by Lamech, and
\nsetting forth boldly and in a <\/p>\n
474
\n00:31:48,360 –> 00:31:52,880
\nforthright way the coming
\njudgments of Almighty God upon a<\/p>\n
475
\n00:31:52,880 –> 00:31:57,000
\ngeneration that had turned so
\ncompletely from His way. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:31:58,080 –> 00:32:01,520
\nAnd so we come back to Genesis
\nchapter 4, and we hug it again <\/p>\n
477
\n00:32:01,520 –> 00:32:05,680
\nto the voice of Lamech.
\nAs he says, I have slain a man <\/p>\n
478
\n00:32:05,680 –> 00:32:10,240
\nto my wounding, or as the margin
\nrenders it, I would slay a man <\/p>\n
479
\n00:32:10,240 –> 00:32:13,160
\nif he wounded me.
\nI would destroy a young man if <\/p>\n
480
\n00:32:13,160 –> 00:32:15,720
\nhe hurt me.
\nIf Kane shall be Avenged <\/p>\n
481
\n00:32:15,720 –> 00:32:20,200
\nSevenfold, truly, Lamech, 7 feet
\nand sevenfold. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:32:21,200 –> 00:32:26,440
\nAnd that’s for the moment
\nconcludes the line of Kane. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:32:27,200 –> 00:32:33,560
\nIt concludes the line of Cain.
\nAnd we come now to consider the <\/p>\n
484
\n00:32:33,560 –> 00:32:40,760
\nline of Abel through Seth.
\nSo we read in verse 25 that Adam<\/p>\n
485
\n00:32:40,760 –> 00:32:44,560
\nknew his wife again and she bare
\na son and called his name Seth. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:32:45,360 –> 00:32:50,240
\nNow Seth means appointed, for
\nGod said she hath appointed me <\/p>\n
487
\n00:32:50,240 –> 00:32:52,920
\nanother seed instead of Abel,
\nwhom counselor. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:32:53,600 –> 00:32:57,360
\nAnd from this I would conclude
\nthat Adam and Eve had turned to <\/p>\n
489
\n00:32:57,360 –> 00:33:02,040
\nGod in prayer, asking the
\nmeaning of all that had gone on <\/p>\n
490
\n00:33:02,040 –> 00:33:05,240
\nand had received the revelation
\nfrom God. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:33:05,880 –> 00:33:10,240
\nBut this boy Seth, this baby
\nthat would be born to her, was <\/p>\n
492
\n00:33:10,240 –> 00:33:15,080
\nappointed instead of Abel.
\nSo that in this boy’s Seth there<\/p>\n
493
\n00:33:15,080 –> 00:33:18,560
\nwas, as it were, a resurrection
\nof Abel. <\/p>\n
494
\n00:33:19,240 –> 00:33:22,520
\nAnd as, of course, Abel puts
\nforward to the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
495
\n00:33:22,520 –> 00:33:27,560
\nChrist, who was slain by the
\nJewish people, who inherited the<\/p>\n
496
\n00:33:27,640 –> 00:33:34,240
\npunishment that was laid upon
\nCain, so in so in Seth there <\/p>\n
497
\n00:33:34,240 –> 00:33:37,760
\nwas, as it were, a resurrection
\nof Abel. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:33:38,040 –> 00:33:44,560
\nHe was appointed instead of the
\ninstead of the Abel Tim Cain’s <\/p>\n
499
\n00:33:44,560 –> 00:33:48,320
\nslew.
\nSo Seth now continues the line <\/p>\n
500
\n00:33:48,520 –> 00:33:52,640
\nof Abel.
\nAnd to serve to him also there <\/p>\n
501
\n00:33:52,640 –> 00:33:56,640
\nwas born a son, and he called
\nhis name Inos. <\/p>\n
502
\n00:33:56,960 –> 00:34:02,440
\nAnd then men began to call upon
\nthe name of Yahweh. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:34:03,280 –> 00:34:08,199
\nHe called his name Inos.
\nInos is quite a strange name to <\/p>\n
504
\n00:34:08,199 –> 00:34:11,159
\ncall a son.
\nAnd as I said before, when we <\/p>\n
505
\n00:34:11,159 –> 00:34:15,880
\nopen this session, the names
\nthat are given to these these <\/p>\n
506
\n00:34:15,880 –> 00:34:21,719
\nchildren, those names really are
\nindicative of conditions. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:34:23,600 –> 00:34:26,560
\nNow he knows, so he knows she’s
\na word that has elsewhere <\/p>\n
508
\n00:34:26,560 –> 00:34:30,320
\ntranslated man.
\nThere are various Hebrew words <\/p>\n
509
\n00:34:30,320 –> 00:34:32,199
\nthat are rendered man.
\nIn the Bible. <\/p>\n
510
\n00:34:32,560 –> 00:34:36,719
\nYou have the word Adam, which
\nmeans man in his natural state. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:34:37,360 –> 00:34:42,719
\nYou have the word ish which
\nmeans man in his elevated state,<\/p>\n
512
\n00:34:43,199 –> 00:34:47,239
\nand you have the word inosh
\nwhich means man in his weak <\/p>\n
513
\n00:34:47,360 –> 00:34:50,239
\nstate or even in his depraved
\nstate. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:34:51,080 –> 00:34:53,000
\nThese are different words for
\nman. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:34:54,080 –> 00:34:59,680
\nWe will find in the next chapter
\nthe God called Adam Adam man. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:35:00,400 –> 00:35:06,120
\nBut Adam selected the word Ish
\nto define himself and so his <\/p>\n
517
\n00:35:06,120 –> 00:35:10,080
\nwifes name was called Isha or
\nwoman because she was taken out <\/p>\n
518
\n00:35:10,080 –> 00:35:15,000
\nof me.
\nBut here the son of Seth is <\/p>\n
519
\n00:35:15,000 –> 00:35:21,840
\ncalled Enosh.
\nNow if we turn over to Psalms 9,<\/p>\n
520
\n00:35:22,520 –> 00:35:25,240
\nwe find that the psalmist here
\nuses this term. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:35:25,240 –> 00:35:30,040
\nIt’s translated men, but it’s
\nthe same term as is used there. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:35:30,360 –> 00:35:36,320
\nSo in the Psalm 9 and at verse
\n20, a prophetic Psalm of the <\/p>\n
523
\n00:35:36,320 –> 00:35:40,560
\nfutures, the psalmist has put
\nthem in CEO Yahweh, that the <\/p>\n
524
\n00:35:40,560 –> 00:35:43,080
\nnations may know themselves to
\nbe but men. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:35:43,080 –> 00:35:47,240
\nAnd here we have the word
\nenosch, that they might <\/p>\n
526
\n00:35:47,240 –> 00:35:49,120
\nunderstand themselves to be but
\nwhich? <\/p>\n
527
\n00:35:49,120 –> 00:35:55,280
\nAnd depraved the word fear.
\nThere can be rendered teacher, <\/p>\n
528
\n00:35:55,480 –> 00:35:59,760
\nand some render that particular
\nverse give them a teacher, but <\/p>\n
529
\n00:35:59,760 –> 00:36:02,280
\nthey may know themselves to be
\nbut Enosh. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:36:02,960 –> 00:36:07,640
\nBut we depraves men, and of
\ncourse that is the stage here. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:36:07,640 –> 00:36:14,840
\nEnosh self calls his son Enosh,
\nwhich means a decline, and <\/p>\n
532
\n00:36:14,840 –> 00:36:19,320
\nevidently there had been a
\ndecline among the sons of God. <\/p>\n
533
\n00:36:19,600 –> 00:36:24,160
\nHas the environment affected
\nthem at that time so that Seth, <\/p>\n
534
\n00:36:24,280 –> 00:36:28,920
\nhe calls his son’s name Inos
\nbecause of that decline? <\/p>\n
535
\n00:36:29,760 –> 00:36:34,800
\nThen we read.
\nMen began to call upon the name <\/p>\n
536
\n00:36:34,800 –> 00:36:40,640
\nof Yahweh, but that word began
\nas a strange word that’s <\/p>\n
537
\n00:36:40,640 –> 00:36:46,000
\nrendered in various ways in the
\nBible, and it can mean to <\/p>\n
538
\n00:36:46,000 –> 00:36:52,520
\nprofane to mean to profane.
\nThere was profanation in the <\/p>\n
539
\n00:36:52,520 –> 00:36:57,000
\ninvoking of the name, and some
\nhave paraphrased it. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:36:57,400 –> 00:37:03,800
\nThen the sons of men desisted
\nfeast from calling on the name <\/p>\n
541
\n00:37:04,040 –> 00:37:08,400
\nof Yahweh, or they profane that
\nname. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:37:09,480 –> 00:37:14,120
\nTo profane the name of Yahweh is
\nnot to live consistently with <\/p>\n
543
\n00:37:14,120 –> 00:37:18,960
\nthat name.
\nIn Proverbs chapter 30, the <\/p>\n
544
\n00:37:18,960 –> 00:37:24,040
\nProverbs, the wise man there
\nsays that he wished for neither <\/p>\n
545
\n00:37:24,720 –> 00:37:30,920
\npoverty nor riches, lest being
\npoor, he steal and take the name<\/p>\n
546
\n00:37:30,920 –> 00:37:34,600
\nof Yahweh in vain.
\nAnd therefore to take the name <\/p>\n
547
\n00:37:34,600 –> 00:37:39,680
\nof Yahweh in vain is to live
\ninconsistently with the calling <\/p>\n
548
\n00:37:39,680 –> 00:37:43,160
\nof that name.
\nIn the 15th chapter of Acts of <\/p>\n
549
\n00:37:43,160 –> 00:37:48,440
\nverse 14, we read that God is
\ntaking out of the Gentiles a <\/p>\n
550
\n00:37:48,720 –> 00:37:53,080
\npeople for His name.
\nWe are that people. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:37:53,400 –> 00:37:56,480
\nWe are called out of the
\nGentiles for that name. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:37:56,960 –> 00:38:00,080
\nWe’re not called out of the
\nGentiles for salvation. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:38:00,840 –> 00:38:05,680
\nSalvation will be given to us if
\nwe develop that which God wants <\/p>\n
554
\n00:38:05,680 –> 00:38:09,160
\nto see in US.
\nAnd what He wants to see in us <\/p>\n
555
\n00:38:09,160 –> 00:38:13,440
\nis a reflection of Himself, His
\nname. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:38:13,440 –> 00:38:17,640
\nThe name of the great in create
\nis the family name into which we<\/p>\n
557
\n00:38:17,640 –> 00:38:22,840
\nare called, and that family name
\nwill be manifested by us when we<\/p>\n
558
\n00:38:22,840 –> 00:38:26,080
\nshow the characteristics of that
\nname if. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:38:26,080 –> 00:38:28,600
\nWe do not.
\nShow the characteristics of that<\/p>\n
560
\n00:38:28,600 –> 00:38:31,680
\nname.
\nWe are not living in accordance <\/p>\n
561
\n00:38:31,680 –> 00:38:35,240
\nwith the call of God and we will
\nnot receive salvation. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:38:35,640 –> 00:38:40,160
\nHe will give salvation to those
\nthat manifestate, that name. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:38:41,040 –> 00:38:45,400
\nTake for example the people of
\nIsrael. 2 million people left <\/p>\n
564
\n00:38:45,400 –> 00:38:48,640
\nthe land of Egypt.
\nThey were baptized into Moses <\/p>\n
565
\n00:38:48,640 –> 00:38:52,080
\nand they sung the song of
\nrejoicing on the other side. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:38:52,280 –> 00:38:54,240
\nHow many reached the Promised
\nLand? <\/p>\n
567
\n00:38:54,840 –> 00:38:59,520
\nGod said concerning them that He
\nhad taken them out for His name,<\/p>\n
568
\n00:39:00,560 –> 00:39:04,240
\nthat they might honour Him.
\nWhen they didn’t do that, then <\/p>\n
569
\n00:39:04,240 –> 00:39:08,280
\nthey perish in the wilderness.
\nThen the challenge is to us to <\/p>\n
570
\n00:39:08,280 –> 00:39:11,920
\nrecognise quite clearly the
\npurpose of our porch. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:39:12,080 –> 00:39:18,000
\nAnd the purpose of our porch is
\nnot primarily salvation, Not <\/p>\n
572
\n00:39:18,000 –> 00:39:22,160
\nprimarily salvation.
\nIt is to manifest the name of <\/p>\n
573
\n00:39:22,160 –> 00:39:25,280
\nGod and then we will receive
\nsalvation. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:39:25,920 –> 00:39:30,600
\nIt is to make ourselves births
\nof saving, and we are worth <\/p>\n
575
\n00:39:30,600 –> 00:39:35,960
\nsaving if we put something in US
\nof the divine excellence, if <\/p>\n
576
\n00:39:35,960 –> 00:39:40,200
\nsomething of God is put into us,
\nso the Word of God is placed <\/p>\n
577
\n00:39:40,200 –> 00:39:43,120
\ninto us and we reflect that in a
\nway of life. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:39:43,480 –> 00:39:47,360
\nAnd then when we reflect that in
\na way of life, then God will be <\/p>\n
579
\n00:39:47,360 –> 00:39:50,400
\npleased with us and grant us
\nsalvation. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:39:51,960 –> 00:39:54,720
\nThat is the purpose.
\nSo when they began to profane <\/p>\n
581
\n00:39:54,720 –> 00:39:58,960
\nthe name of Yahweh, they were
\nnot living consistently with the<\/p>\n
582
\n00:39:58,960 –> 00:40:01,840
\nname.
\nAnd that’s leading to the great <\/p>\n
583
\n00:40:02,160 –> 00:40:04,560
\nthe, the great tragedy of that
\ntime. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:40:05,080 –> 00:40:08,680
\nWhen of course, the sons of God
\nwere found at the time of the <\/p>\n
585
\n00:40:08,680 –> 00:40:13,240
\nflood in a state that God was
\nnot prepared to save them at <\/p>\n
586
\n00:40:13,240 –> 00:40:16,920
\nall.
\nAnd they were involved in the in<\/p>\n
587
\n00:40:16,920 –> 00:40:19,440
\nthe flood that destroyed the
\nworld. <\/p>\n
588
\n00:40:19,680 –> 00:40:23,400
\nThat’s a very important
\nstatement at the end of chapter <\/p>\n
589
\n00:40:23,400 –> 00:40:27,520
\n4 of Genesis, a very important
\nstatement indeed. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:40:28,000 –> 00:40:34,240
\nSo that, you see, here is the
\nhint of the trouble that is to <\/p>\n
591
\n00:40:34,240 –> 00:40:37,680
\ncome.
\nNow we come over to the 5th <\/p>\n
592
\n00:40:37,680 –> 00:40:41,880
\nchapter of Genesis, and I finish
\nat 10:00. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:40:41,880 –> 00:40:46,880
\nYou know, is it 10:00 or 9:50?
\nI finish. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:40:49,360 –> 00:40:53,360
\nI’ve meant 11:00 or 10:50.
\nIs it right? <\/p>\n
595
\n00:40:54,000 –> 00:40:56,200
\nThat’s all right.
\nNow we come to the 5th chapter <\/p>\n
596
\n00:40:56,200 –> 00:40:58,720
\nof Genesis, a very, very
\nimportant chapter, indeed <\/p>\n
597
\n00:40:59,160 –> 00:41:02,560
\nparticularly important in the
\ndevelopment of this this theme. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:41:03,040 –> 00:41:04,880
\nWe read first of all in verse
\none. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:41:05,760 –> 00:41:08,160
\nThis is the book of the
\ngenerations of Adam. <\/p>\n
600
\n00:41:09,160 –> 00:41:13,360
\nA very important statement that
\nyou read that form of statement <\/p>\n
601
\n00:41:13,360 –> 00:41:16,000
\ntwice in the Bible.
\nYou read it here. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:41:16,000 –> 00:41:18,800
\nThis is the book of the
\ngenerations of Adam and you read<\/p>\n
603
\n00:41:18,800 –> 00:41:20,680
\nit in Matthew chapter 1 and
\nverse one. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:41:20,880 –> 00:41:24,640
\nThe book of the generations of
\nJesus Christ. 2 great books that<\/p>\n
605
\n00:41:24,640 –> 00:41:26,960
\nare found there.
\nThe book of the generations of <\/p>\n
606
\n00:41:26,960 –> 00:41:28,840
\nAdam.
\nThe book of the generations of <\/p>\n
607
\n00:41:28,920 –> 00:41:32,440
\nJesus Christ.
\nInto the book of the generation <\/p>\n
608
\n00:41:32,440 –> 00:41:35,160
\nof Adam everyone is placed who
\nis born upon this earth. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:41:36,040 –> 00:41:39,600
\nThey’re there automatically, but
\nnot so in the book of Jesus <\/p>\n
610
\n00:41:39,600 –> 00:41:42,520
\nChrist.
\nThat is the book of life, and <\/p>\n
611
\n00:41:42,520 –> 00:41:44,800
\ntherefore only those are in the
\nbook of life. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:41:45,080 –> 00:41:48,120
\nHis names are retained there to
\nthe coming of the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
613
\n00:41:48,120 –> 00:41:50,120
\nChrist. 2 great books of the
\nBible. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:41:50,640 –> 00:41:54,280
\nWe can’t avoid being in one.
\nWe can strive to be in the <\/p>\n
615
\n00:41:54,280 –> 00:41:56,760
\nother.
\nAnd those two books of the Bible<\/p>\n
616
\n00:41:56,760 –> 00:41:59,440
\nare in contrast.
\nAnd you know what’s in the book <\/p>\n
617
\n00:41:59,440 –> 00:42:02,720
\nof the generations of Adam?
\nRead it in your Bible. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:42:02,840 –> 00:42:05,840
\nSee it clearly, starkly,
\ndramatically set forth. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:42:06,160 –> 00:42:09,840
\nYou’ll probably have missed it,
\nbut it’s found in the repetition<\/p>\n
620
\n00:42:09,840 –> 00:42:15,000
\nof the words.
\nAnd he died verse 5, And he died<\/p>\n
621
\n00:42:15,240 –> 00:42:18,000
\nverse 8.
\nAnd he died verse 11. <\/p>\n
622
\n00:42:18,120 –> 00:42:22,400
\nAnd he died verse 14.
\nAnd he died verse 17. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:42:22,520 –> 00:42:26,880
\nAnd he died verse 20.
\nAnd he died verse 27. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:42:27,040 –> 00:42:30,480
\nAnd he died verse 31.
\nAnd he died. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:42:31,600 –> 00:42:35,280
\nAnd with monotonous regularity
\nthis statement is made, <\/p>\n
626
\n00:42:36,320 –> 00:42:42,240
\nemphasizing the hopelessness of
\nthe human race in spite of the <\/p>\n
627
\n00:42:42,240 –> 00:42:50,000
\nlong lives lived.
\nInevitably, the sad end awaits <\/p>\n
628
\n00:42:50,200 –> 00:42:56,160
\neven a Methuselah.
\nAnd this becomes the theme song <\/p>\n
629
\n00:42:56,160 –> 00:43:01,400
\nof life.
\nAnd The only exception in that <\/p>\n
630
\n00:43:01,400 –> 00:43:08,000
\nbook that is written there, The
\nonly exception in the long line <\/p>\n
631
\n00:43:08,000 –> 00:43:13,400
\nof genealogy there, is our
\nfriend Enoch in regard to all <\/p>\n
632
\n00:43:13,400 –> 00:43:20,640
\nthe others.
\nAnd he died, and he died, and he<\/p>\n
633
\n00:43:20,960 –> 00:43:28,080
\ndied.
\nA man lives his little life and <\/p>\n
634
\n00:43:28,080 –> 00:43:35,960
\nhe dies.
\nAnd when you were young, life <\/p>\n
635
\n00:43:35,960 –> 00:43:41,600
\nseems like an endless, endless
\npath that leads into the future.<\/p>\n
636
\n00:43:43,880 –> 00:43:51,560
\nBut as age takes its toll, you
\ncome to appreciate better. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:43:52,960 –> 00:44:03,560
\nThe words of Paul redeem the
\ntime, for the days are evil, and<\/p>\n
638
\n00:44:03,560 –> 00:44:08,480
\nthe word means to buy it up
\nbecause it is precious. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:44:09,640 –> 00:44:14,200
\nThere’s nothing quite as
\nprecious in our possession as <\/p>\n
640
\n00:44:14,200 –> 00:44:18,920
\ntime itself.
\nAnd you know that time is <\/p>\n
641
\n00:44:18,920 –> 00:44:22,600
\ndistributed to each one of us in
\nequal proportions. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:44:23,720 –> 00:44:26,520
\nThere was 60 seconds to a
\nminute. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:44:27,360 –> 00:44:32,680
\nThere’s 60 minutes to an hour.
\nThere’s 24 hours in a day. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:44:33,680 –> 00:44:36,920
\nYou.
\nEach have got 60 seconds to the <\/p>\n
645
\n00:44:36,920 –> 00:44:45,240
\nminute, 60 minutes to the hour,
\n24 hours to the day in each in <\/p>\n
646
\n00:44:45,240 –> 00:44:49,840
\nequal proportions that that time
\nis parceled out to each one of <\/p>\n
647
\n00:44:49,840 –> 00:44:52,800
\nus.
\nBut how do we use it? <\/p>\n
648
\n00:44:53,640 –> 00:44:58,920
\nDo we waste that precious time,
\nor do we use it effectively? <\/p>\n
649
\n00:44:59,400 –> 00:45:04,760
\nDo we parcel it out in our
\nminds, or do we squander time? <\/p>\n
650
\n00:45:04,760 –> 00:45:11,200
\nAnd we can squander time.
\nAs I look back over my own life,<\/p>\n
651
\n00:45:12,560 –> 00:45:18,600
\nif I had the living of it again,
\nprobably Megan’s big a mess of <\/p>\n
652
\n00:45:18,600 –> 00:45:19,440
\nit.
\nAnd that’s now. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:45:19,840 –> 00:45:24,680
\nBut as I feel now, there would
\nbe different things that I would<\/p>\n
654
\n00:45:24,680 –> 00:45:28,280
\nhave done and different
\noccupations to which I would <\/p>\n
655
\n00:45:28,280 –> 00:45:31,080
\nhave given myself.
\nIt’s too late now. <\/p>\n
656
\n00:45:32,360 –> 00:45:38,000
\nAll I can say is the limitations
\nof my own life. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:45:39,160 –> 00:45:44,960
\nAnd all I can see is if if
\nanything is to be done now, it <\/p>\n
658
\n00:45:44,960 –> 00:45:50,600
\nmust be done immediately.
\nWhen I was young, I did not <\/p>\n
659
\n00:45:50,600 –> 00:45:54,120
\nunderstand it in that way.
\nAnd that’s why Paul said redeem <\/p>\n
660
\n00:45:54,120 –> 00:45:56,640
\nthe time.
\nThat’s very valuable, because <\/p>\n
661
\n00:45:56,640 –> 00:45:59,840
\nyou’ve got nothing quite as
\nprecious as time, nothing at <\/p>\n
662
\n00:45:59,840 –> 00:46:02,160
\nall.
\nBut how do we use that time? <\/p>\n
663
\n00:46:02,880 –> 00:46:04,800
\nAnd it’s good to parcel about in
\ntimes. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:46:05,240 –> 00:46:08,400
\nIt’s good to parcel about and
\noccupy a certain amount of time <\/p>\n
665
\n00:46:08,400 –> 00:46:12,760
\nto a certain things during the
\nday and not to waste that which <\/p>\n
666
\n00:46:12,760 –> 00:46:16,080
\nis so precious.
\nSo we’re all in the book of the <\/p>\n
667
\n00:46:16,080 –> 00:46:19,400
\ngeneration of Adam.
\nAnd the theme song of that book <\/p>\n
668
\n00:46:19,400 –> 00:46:25,160
\nis and he died.
\nNow we come on and we read this <\/p>\n
669
\n00:46:25,200 –> 00:46:29,440
\nin the day that God created man
\nin the likeness of God made him.<\/p>\n
670
\n00:46:30,240 –> 00:46:33,720
\nThat’s verse one in the likeness
\nof God made he man. <\/p>\n
671
\n00:46:34,160 –> 00:46:38,400
\nNow we know what is stated in
\nGenesis chapter one in relation <\/p>\n
672
\n00:46:38,400 –> 00:46:41,960
\nto the creation of man.
\nGod said let us make man in our <\/p>\n
673
\n00:46:41,960 –> 00:46:44,800
\nimage after our likeness and let
\nthem have dominion. <\/p>\n
674
\n00:46:46,120 –> 00:46:49,480
\nAnd you know that verse in
\nGenesis one verse 26. <\/p>\n
675
\n00:46:49,720 –> 00:46:52,040
\nDo you know this?
\nThat that verse is the <\/p>\n
676
\n00:46:52,040 –> 00:46:54,400
\nfoundation of every epistle of
\nPaul’s. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:46:55,560 –> 00:46:59,320
\nThat first Genesis 126 is the
\nfoundation of every epistle of <\/p>\n
678
\n00:46:59,320 –> 00:47:00,640
\nPaul.
\nYou trace it out. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:47:01,280 –> 00:47:02,880
\nI’ve got a list of it here if
\nyou want it. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:47:03,640 –> 00:47:06,480
\nBut every epistle of Paul is
\nreferring to that particular <\/p>\n
681
\n00:47:06,480 –> 00:47:10,480
\nverse and basing his own
\ntheology upon it, because that’s<\/p>\n
682
\n00:47:10,480 –> 00:47:13,240
\none of the most important verses
\nyou’ll find in Scripture. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:47:13,360 –> 00:47:17,760
\nAnd here is repeated God created
\nman in the likeness of God made <\/p>\n
684
\n00:47:17,760 –> 00:47:22,160
\nhe him image and likeness.
\nImage relates to shape likeness <\/p>\n
685
\n00:47:22,160 –> 00:47:25,840
\nto capacity.
\nAnd that is a very that the the <\/p>\n
686
\n00:47:26,040 –> 00:47:28,400
\nthe difference between the
\nanimals and man. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:47:28,640 –> 00:47:33,160
\nHis capacity, his capacity to
\ntake in divine principles and <\/p>\n
688
\n00:47:33,320 –> 00:47:37,320
\nand precepts, his capacity to
\nreveal those divine precepts and<\/p>\n
689
\n00:47:37,320 –> 00:47:41,160
\nprecepts and and principles.
\nYour animals can’t do that. <\/p>\n
690
\n00:47:41,480 –> 00:47:44,640
\nHis intelligence as they may be.
\nThey cannot take in divine <\/p>\n
691
\n00:47:44,640 –> 00:47:47,600
\nprinciples.
\nThey cannot bring to more of <\/p>\n
692
\n00:47:47,600 –> 00:47:49,480
\nthose features.
\nWe can’t. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:47:49,600 –> 00:47:53,120
\nWe’ve been made that way and got
\nus, made us specifically for <\/p>\n
694
\n00:47:53,120 –> 00:47:56,360
\nthat purpose that we might
\nreflect to His glory <\/p>\n
695
\n00:47:56,880 –> 00:48:00,480
\nspecifically for that purpose.
\nYou know, on one occasion I was <\/p>\n
696
\n00:48:00,680 –> 00:48:04,080
\non the bait and we were going
\ndown some river in Bangkok and <\/p>\n
697
\n00:48:04,080 –> 00:48:06,920
\non all the sides of a little
\nkitty’s head, dozens of them <\/p>\n
698
\n00:48:07,320 –> 00:48:10,440
\ndiving in the water, coming up
\nwith I was singing about this <\/p>\n
699
\n00:48:10,640 –> 00:48:14,080
\nthat every one of them has made
\nin the with the capacity to <\/p>\n
700
\n00:48:14,080 –> 00:48:16,960
\nreflect the glory of God.
\nBut how many do it? <\/p>\n
701
\n00:48:17,320 –> 00:48:19,520
\nSo very few.
\nAnd that country, there were <\/p>\n
702
\n00:48:19,520 –> 00:48:22,080
\nmillions of people there.
\nAnd I said in that day to be <\/p>\n
703
\n00:48:22,080 –> 00:48:25,640
\nflocking around everywhere.
\nAnd I thought upon this, it <\/p>\n
704
\n00:48:25,640 –> 00:48:28,160
\nworried me a bit.
\nIt worries me still. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:48:28,320 –> 00:48:33,360
\nBut so very, very few people use
\nthe brain that God gave them for<\/p>\n
706
\n00:48:33,360 –> 00:48:37,760
\nthe purpose that God gave them.
\nYou know, we are supposed to <\/p>\n
707
\n00:48:37,760 –> 00:48:40,520
\nhave two brains or two parts of
\none brain. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:48:40,520 –> 00:48:42,720
\nI don’t know what it is because
\nI’m no scientist. <\/p>\n
709
\n00:48:42,960 –> 00:48:44,720
\nAnd there’s a bridge between
\nthem both. <\/p>\n
710
\n00:48:45,080 –> 00:48:48,280
\nBut scientists call this other
\nbrain, the higher brain, the new<\/p>\n
711
\n00:48:48,280 –> 00:48:51,760
\nbrain, because of course, he
\nsays that we have evolved and <\/p>\n
712
\n00:48:51,760 –> 00:48:55,040
\ntherefore we have a former brain
\nthat the animals lack, and they <\/p>\n
713
\n00:48:55,040 –> 00:48:58,800
\ncall it the new brain.
\nAnd that new brain is the brain <\/p>\n
714
\n00:48:58,800 –> 00:49:02,440
\nthat takes in these principles,
\nthese divine principles. <\/p>\n
715
\n00:49:02,840 –> 00:49:06,880
\nIt acts something like that.
\nThe lower brain tells us what we<\/p>\n
716
\n00:49:07,280 –> 00:49:09,480
\nwhat we ought to have.
\nI’m hungry. <\/p>\n
717
\n00:49:09,600 –> 00:49:12,600
\nSo the brain says you’re hungry,
\nyou better get some food. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:49:12,840 –> 00:49:15,440
\nAnd if I’ve got no scruples,
\nI’ll go and get that food. <\/p>\n
719
\n00:49:15,680 –> 00:49:18,720
\nI’ll break into somewhere and.
\nGet that food like an animal <\/p>\n
720
\n00:49:18,720 –> 00:49:20,840
\nwill.
\nBut the higher brain says, look,<\/p>\n
721
\n00:49:20,840 –> 00:49:23,520
\nyou better not do that.
\nA policeman might be there and <\/p>\n
722
\n00:49:23,520 –> 00:49:26,120
\nyou’ll be taking taken into
\ncustody. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:49:26,280 –> 00:49:29,600
\nSo the higher brain works on the
\nlower brain and says, no, it’s <\/p>\n
724
\n00:49:29,600 –> 00:49:33,400
\nnot the time for that.
\nThat higher brain can be trained<\/p>\n
725
\n00:49:33,400 –> 00:49:35,840
\nin divine principles.
\nThe lower brain can’t. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:49:36,160 –> 00:49:39,480
\nThe lower brain is dominated by
\nthe propensities, the lust of <\/p>\n
727
\n00:49:39,480 –> 00:49:41,680
\nthe flesh, the lust of the eyes
\nand the pride of life. <\/p>\n
728
\n00:49:41,960 –> 00:49:44,800
\nAnd it’s in conflict with that
\nhigher brain. <\/p>\n
729
\n00:49:45,280 –> 00:49:48,920
\nAnd siders tell us who are quite
\nignorant of the Bible, that the <\/p>\n
730
\n00:49:48,920 –> 00:49:52,920
\nmore you use that higher brain,
\nthe more you get into a pattern <\/p>\n
731
\n00:49:52,920 –> 00:49:56,080
\nof so using it.
\nThat’s the same, I suppose like <\/p>\n
732
\n00:49:56,080 –> 00:49:59,320
\na thing with the the gramophone
\nneedle goes around and it gets <\/p>\n
733
\n00:49:59,320 –> 00:50:02,560
\nin the track and it goes around
\nthat way and you create habit <\/p>\n
734
\n00:50:02,560 –> 00:50:06,080
\nthat way.
\nAnd scientists will tell us that<\/p>\n
735
\n00:50:06,080 –> 00:50:09,800
\nif that brain is exercised, that
\nbrain will dominate the lower <\/p>\n
736
\n00:50:09,800 –> 00:50:12,680
\nbrain.
\nBut if it’s ignored, it won’t, <\/p>\n
737
\n00:50:12,760 –> 00:50:15,440
\nthe lower brain will dominate
\nthe higher brain. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:50:16,320 –> 00:50:19,040
\nNow, I know nothing about that,
\nbut I do know that the apostle <\/p>\n
739
\n00:50:19,040 –> 00:50:23,200
\nPaul tells us that we can think
\nwith the flesh or we can think <\/p>\n
740
\n00:50:23,200 –> 00:50:25,800
\nwith the Spirit.
\nThe thinking of the flesh he <\/p>\n
741
\n00:50:25,800 –> 00:50:28,040
\ncontrasts with the thinking of
\nthe Spirit. <\/p>\n
742
\n00:50:28,280 –> 00:50:31,480
\nAnd the Spirit Word is impressed
\nupon that higher brain. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:50:31,640 –> 00:50:35,440
\nIt’s the principles of God’s
\nWord, and we need to exercise it<\/p>\n
744
\n00:50:35,440 –> 00:50:38,400
\nthat way.
\nAnd we have been created so that<\/p>\n
745
\n00:50:38,400 –> 00:50:42,240
\nwe can take in those impressions
\nand reflect those impressions <\/p>\n
746
\n00:50:42,240 –> 00:50:46,520
\nback in a way of life.
\nAnd that is what God is saying <\/p>\n
747
\n00:50:46,520 –> 00:50:49,920
\nhere.
\nHe created man, not the dot. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:50:50,360 –> 00:50:54,560
\nHe created man not to follow out
\nthe principles of the flesh. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:50:54,760 –> 00:51:00,200
\nHe created man to be like sheep.
\nAnd he gave him the ability with<\/p>\n
750
\n00:51:00,200 –> 00:51:03,680
\na brain that’s able to take in
\ndivine principles and reflect <\/p>\n
751
\n00:51:03,680 –> 00:51:06,880
\nthem in a way of life that will
\nbuild into his life, a <\/p>\n
752
\n00:51:06,880 –> 00:51:09,920
\ncharacteristic that makes him
\nlike God. <\/p>\n
753
\n00:51:12,400 –> 00:51:15,800
\nYou know, it said with the 22nd
\nchapter, Genesis, that as far as<\/p>\n
754
\n00:51:15,880 –> 00:51:19,680
\nAbraham was concerned, he was to
\nOfferUp his only beloved son, <\/p>\n
755
\n00:51:21,000 –> 00:51:24,400
\nhis only beloved son or begotten
\nsons. <\/p>\n
756
\n00:51:25,240 –> 00:51:31,800
\nBut he it speaks of only one
\nson, but he had two sons, but he<\/p>\n
757
\n00:51:31,800 –> 00:51:37,440
\nreally only had one son because
\na son should be a reflection of <\/p>\n
758
\n00:51:37,440 –> 00:51:41,800
\nhis father.
\nAnd I and Isaac was that not <\/p>\n
759
\n00:51:41,800 –> 00:51:43,880
\nIshmael.
\nSo we only have one son. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:51:44,040 –> 00:51:45,600
\nThey could count 2 in his
\nfamily. <\/p>\n
761
\n00:51:46,280 –> 00:51:51,240
\nWe are called to be sons of God,
\nto be of God into our lives. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:51:51,360 –> 00:51:53,160
\nWe do that with the Word of God.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
