Class 5 from this series was used in GCT Episode 346.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:05,360 –> 00:00:10,400
\nthe second study of the series
\nbefore the Deluge, and this one <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:10,400 –> 00:00:14,080
\nis entitled The Decline.
\nIn the family of Cain, my <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:14,080 –> 00:00:17,080
\nbrother Pierce Mansfield of
\nWoodville, South Australia. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:28,920 –> 00:00:34,560
\nMy dear brethren and sisters in
\nChrist Jesus, our purpose is to <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:34,560 –> 00:00:37,720
\nshow that in the first six
\nchapters of Genesis we have <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:37,720 –> 00:00:43,160
\nforeshadowed the whole purpose
\nof God, and out of that <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:43,160 –> 00:00:47,080
\nconsideration there becomes
\nvery, very important lessons <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:47,440 –> 00:00:50,320
\nthat we should apply in our day
\nand generation. <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:51,800 –> 00:00:55,560
\nIn a talk yesterday, I believe
\nwe came to the point where the <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:55,680 –> 00:00:58,840
\noffering was made by Cain and
\nAbel. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:59,680 –> 00:01:02,800
\nWe saw that as far as Cain was
\nconcerned, he brought the first <\/p>\n
13
\n00:01:02,880 –> 00:01:06,120
\nfruits of the ground.
\nBut as far as Abel was <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:06,120 –> 00:01:10,120
\nconcerned, he bought both those
\nand the lamb which represented <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:10,120 –> 00:01:13,800
\nhis life that he offered unto
\nYahweh. <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:13,920 –> 00:01:18,480
\nAt that time.
\nWe’re going to find out that in <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:18,480 –> 00:01:21,280
\nthe life of Cain and in the
\nfamily of Cain, there was a <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:21,280 –> 00:01:26,840
\ndeterioration.
\nAnd yet those two boys were sons<\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:26,840 –> 00:01:29,840
\nof Adam and Eve.
\nThey were brothers and members <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:29,840 –> 00:01:35,040
\nof one family, and it really
\nconstituted the family of God. <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:35,040 –> 00:01:38,440
\nAnd yet we learn from these
\nearly chapters of Genesis that <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:38,440 –> 00:01:43,360
\nout of the family of God there
\ncame this deterioration. <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:44,280 –> 00:01:48,000
\nIn other words, it’s a reminder
\nright down through the <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:52,600
\ngenerations that deterioration
\ncan be expected. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:53,720 –> 00:01:57,560
\nAnd as we read the record of
\nGod, the God’s purpose with <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:57,560 –> 00:02:02,400
\nhumanity, we find that from
\nwithin has come those things <\/p>\n
27
\n00:02:02,400 –> 00:02:06,480
\nthat have undermined the truth,
\nwhether it be during the course <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:06,480 –> 00:02:09,600
\nof Israel’s history or whether
\nit be during the course of the <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:09,600 –> 00:02:15,040
\nhistory of the ecclesias of God,
\nthe record of history affairs as<\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:15,080 –> 00:02:17,640
\nwell as concern of one of peaks
\nand shadows. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:18,200 –> 00:02:21,760
\nWe have a Manasseh.
\nWe have a Hezekiah, we have a <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:21,800 –> 00:02:27,520
\nJosiah, and we have a Zedekiah.
\nSO1 moment, that same nation is <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:27,520 –> 00:02:31,800
\nin the peaks, a grand reform,
\nand the next moment in the <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:31,800 –> 00:02:36,120
\nshadow is in the valley, and
\nthey are in a state of apostasy <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:36,120 –> 00:02:39,040
\nfrom God.
\nAnd that’s the history of <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:39,040 –> 00:02:41,480
\nIsrael.
\nAnd as far as the eccleses are <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:41,480 –> 00:02:44,680
\nconcerned, the same thing.
\nYou have these 7 eccleses of <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:44,680 –> 00:02:47,000
\nAsia.
\nYou have the work of the apostle<\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:47,000 –> 00:02:51,080
\nPaul in those very eccleses.
\nYou find him commending them for<\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:51,080 –> 00:02:54,080
\ntheir great work that they were
\naccomplishing in the things of <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:54,080 –> 00:02:56,400
\nGod.
\nAnd the next moment, where are <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:56,400 –> 00:02:58,600
\nthose eccleses today?
\nThey’re gone. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:00,160 –> 00:03:02,560
\nDid you know when you’re looking
\nat ecclesias today, in this <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:02,560 –> 00:03:06,040
\nmodern generation of ours,
\nyou’ll find ecclesias advance <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:06,040 –> 00:03:08,160
\nand decline.
\nAnd that is the pattern of <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:08,160 –> 00:03:11,200
\nthings all the way along the
\nline. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:11,200 –> 00:03:14,040
\nAnd we’re reminded of that in
\nthe record of Cain and Abel. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:16,400 –> 00:03:19,640
\nAnd you know, the symbol of the
\necclesia in the Word of God is <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:19,640 –> 00:03:23,360
\nthe moon.
\nThe moon represents the ecclesia<\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:23,360 –> 00:03:25,440
\nbecause the moon is no light of
\nitself. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:25,440 –> 00:03:29,960
\nIt reflects the light of the
\nsun, and the moon is never <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:29,960 –> 00:03:33,200
\nconstant.
\nIt’s either waxing or waning, <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:33,840 –> 00:03:37,920
\nnever constant.
\nAnd our ecclesias are like that.<\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:37,920 –> 00:03:42,440
\nBrethren and sisters, we say
\nthings are going very well, but <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:42,440 –> 00:03:44,280
\nthen tomorrow they’re not so
\nwell. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:45,880 –> 00:03:49,040
\nAnd the moon is never at the
\nsame time. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:49,040 –> 00:03:50,760
\nEvery day it’s a little
\ndifferent. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:50,800 –> 00:03:53,600
\nIt may be advancing, it may be
\ndeclining. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:53,880 –> 00:03:57,120
\nI’ve been associated with
\necclesias that have advanced and<\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:57,120 –> 00:04:00,680
\nhave declined.
\nI’ve seen ecclesias right down <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:00,880 –> 00:04:04,520
\nto the very depths of decline
\nabout to go out of existence. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:04,520 –> 00:04:08,560
\nBut when the goodness of God and
\nthe energy of brethren, it’s, <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:08,840 –> 00:04:11,760
\nthey have risen again and
\nthey’ve come to greatness. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:12,080 –> 00:04:16,720
\nBut there’s no sense of saying,
\nlook, we are great today because<\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:16,720 –> 00:04:20,480
\ntomorrow there may be something
\nand it happened so quickly that <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:20,480 –> 00:04:23,920
\nwill cause a decline.
\nAnd that’s we’re finding in the <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:23,920 –> 00:04:26,600
\nlife of Cain and Abel.
\nAnd it is in the case of the <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:26,600 –> 00:04:29,120
\nmoon, which was the symbol of
\nthe ecclesia. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:29,520 –> 00:04:33,040
\nAnd you know, it was when the
\nmoon was at its full that Israel<\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:33,040 –> 00:04:36,240
\nused to celebrate the Passover.
\nAnd they would open the doors of<\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:36,240 –> 00:04:39,440
\nthe home so that they could see
\nthat moon in its full because <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:39,440 –> 00:04:42,760
\nthat represented the ecclesia at
\nthat particular moment. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:42,760 –> 00:04:46,480
\nThe ecclesia being the Kingdom
\nof God when they were all <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:46,480 –> 00:04:50,040
\ncelebrating the Passover.
\nBut tomorrow that moon was not <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:50,040 –> 00:04:52,280
\nquite at its full.
\nYou couldn’t tell the <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:52,280 –> 00:04:54,280
\ndifference.
\nYou might think it’s at its <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:54,280 –> 00:04:57,520
\nfull, but it’s not.
\nAnd that’s like trouble within <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:57,520 –> 00:04:59,880
\nan ecclesia.
\nIt’s like trouble within our <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:59,880 –> 00:05:02,520
\nlives.
\nWe don’t always recognize it, <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:03,000 –> 00:05:05,120
\nbut slowly that eats into
\nthings. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:05,120 –> 00:05:10,080
\nAnd there, there there is a a
\nwaning of that enthusiasm or <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:10,080 –> 00:05:14,000
\nthat strength that we may see
\nthere and we are reminded of <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:14,000 –> 00:05:19,120
\nthis that we might never be self
\nsatisfied and with that we might<\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:19,120 –> 00:05:22,600
\nbe constantly on our guard as
\nfar as these things are <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:22,600 –> 00:05:26,560
\nconcerned.
\nSo the Lamb of God was offered <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:26,560 –> 00:05:31,760
\nin the 3rd chapter of jealousies
\nand they continued that or Abel <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:31,760 –> 00:05:34,040
\ndid when?
\nWe come to the 4th chapter. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:34,520 –> 00:05:37,880
\nAnd it reminds us of what we
\nread in the 13th chapter of the <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:37,880 –> 00:05:41,680
\nRevelation and at verse 8, where
\nit speaks of those that are <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:41,680 –> 00:05:45,080
\nwritten in the book of the life
\nof the Lamb slain from the <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:45,080 –> 00:05:47,880
\nfoundation of the world.
\nSo here we go in the Book of <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:47,880 –> 00:05:51,360
\nRevelation is drawing your
\nattention to the Lamb that was <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:51,360 –> 00:05:55,840
\nslain on this time, when of
\ncourse there was the first <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:55,840 –> 00:06:00,320
\nreligion established.
\nSo we considered yesterday how <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:00,320 –> 00:06:04,120
\nthat Cain offered his offering
\nand Abel offered his offering, <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:04,640 –> 00:06:08,160
\nand we considered, I believe
\nthat undue Cain. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:08,160 –> 00:06:12,520
\nAnd to his offering God had no
\nrespect, but he had respect unto<\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:12,640 –> 00:06:15,000
\nAbel’s.
\nAnd we pointed out from Hebrews <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:15,000 –> 00:06:18,480
\nChapter 11 and verse four that
\nhe had respect unto Abel’s <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:18,480 –> 00:06:20,480
\noffering because he offered it
\nin faith. <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:20,760 –> 00:06:23,640
\nAnd faith is a confident
\nanticipation of things hoped <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:23,640 –> 00:06:25,640
\nfor.
\nAbel is prepared to give his <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:25,640 –> 00:06:29,520
\nlife unto God because he knows
\nthat that life is very, very <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:29,520 –> 00:06:33,920
\nlimited and he wants eternal
\nlife, and therefore as far as he<\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:33,920 –> 00:06:36,720
\nis concerned, he’ll give his
\nlife unto God through faith. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:36,720 –> 00:06:40,160
\nHe did that, we’re told that in
\nHebrews 11 and verse 4. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:40,360 –> 00:06:43,000
\nAnd God had respect unto his
\nofferings. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:43,320 –> 00:06:47,920
\nHe he enjoyed the gifts that
\nAbel offered unto him because he<\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:47,920 –> 00:06:51,200
\noffered them in faith.
\nAnd he tells us in the sixth <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:51,200 –> 00:06:54,480
\nverse that without faith it’s
\nimpossible to please God. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:54,800 –> 00:06:56,600
\nYou can offer all the animals
\nyou like. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:56,720 –> 00:06:59,320
\nYou can give him what you want.
\nYou have what you like. <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:59,480 –> 00:07:01,440
\nYou can pour out your wealth at
\nhis feet. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:01,640 –> 00:07:03,880
\nHe doesn’t want it.
\nHe’s got plenty of that. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:04,040 –> 00:07:07,200
\nBut what he needs of you and
\nwhat he needs of me is that <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:07,200 –> 00:07:11,160
\nfaith that will energize,
\nenergize and motivate us to <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:11,240 –> 00:07:14,320
\naction on behalf of the things
\nof God. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:15,840 –> 00:07:20,000
\nWe pointed out, I think, that
\nthe word pain means gain. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:20,520 –> 00:07:22,640
\nIt means the acquisition of
\nsomething. <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:23,000 –> 00:07:24,680
\nHe wants it, and He wants it
\nnow. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:25,480 –> 00:07:27,560
\nHe wants immediate success in
\nlife. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:27,560 –> 00:07:28,760
\nHe’s not.
\nPrepared to wait? <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:29,480 –> 00:07:32,640
\nAbel, on the other hand, is from
\na root word that you find in the<\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:32,640 –> 00:07:35,520
\nbook of Ecclesiastes and
\nrendered vanity. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:36,000 –> 00:07:40,680
\nAnd he recognized that life was
\nvain, that life was a vapor that<\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:40,680 –> 00:07:43,040
\nappeared for a little time and
\nvanished away. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:43,240 –> 00:07:46,000
\nThat’s why his faith was on the
\ndistant sea. <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:46,200 –> 00:07:48,400
\nThat’s why he saw something
\nahead of him. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:48,680 –> 00:07:52,520
\nHe recognized clearly and
\nplainly that this life was very,<\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:52,520 –> 00:07:55,480
\nvery limited.
\nAnd therefore in faith he looked<\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:55,480 –> 00:07:57,880
\nto the future.
\nAnd that’s why he offered that <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:57,880 –> 00:08:00,840
\nland.
\nThat’s why he of his life unto <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:00,840 –> 00:08:06,000
\nGod.
\nSo here we have the 2 two boys, <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:06,200 –> 00:08:09,800
\nthe sons of Adam and Eve, and
\nthey’re making their offerings. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:10,120 –> 00:08:14,280
\nAnd again, I want to emphasize,
\nand I try to do this constantly <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:14,280 –> 00:08:18,120
\nto myself.
\nThen there’s two men in Cain and<\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:18,120 –> 00:08:22,040
\nAbel.
\nBoth were religious, both wanted<\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:22,040 –> 00:08:25,800
\nto worship God.
\nBoth were prepared to sacrifice,<\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:26,560 –> 00:08:29,920
\nbut God accepted 1 sacrifice and
\nnot the other. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:31,160 –> 00:08:34,679
\nSo let us analyze our own
\nattitudes towards our God. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:35,480 –> 00:08:38,520
\nWe want to worship, we want to
\nplease God. <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:38,840 –> 00:08:42,120
\nWe’re prepared to sacrifice.
\nWe can only do it whether it’s <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:42,120 –> 00:08:45,200
\nsacrifice or not in the way that
\nGod wants. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:45,480 –> 00:08:48,400
\nAnd he has laid down what he
\nrequires. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:49,160 –> 00:08:53,000
\nSo we said that he claim was
\nwroth we read, and his <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:53,000 –> 00:08:55,400
\ncountenance fail.
\nHe. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:55,400 –> 00:08:58,920
\nBecame angry because His
\noffering was not accepted. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:59,480 –> 00:09:02,000
\nAnd Yahweh said unto Cain, Why
\naren’t they rather? <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:02,000 –> 00:09:05,880
\nWhy as thy countenance fallen?
\nWell, we all know the answer to <\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:05,880 –> 00:09:08,280
\nthat.
\nBecause He had accepted Abel and<\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:08,280 –> 00:09:11,360
\nnot Cain.
\nIf thou doest well, shalt thou <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:11,360 –> 00:09:15,400
\nnot be accepted?
\nHe had the position of first <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:15,400 –> 00:09:19,800
\nborn, and the position of first
\nborn confirmed certain rights. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:20,400 –> 00:09:23,840
\nThe first born in the family
\nbefore the Aaronic priesthood <\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:24,880 –> 00:09:27,760
\nexercised the position of a
\npriest in the family. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:28,720 –> 00:09:32,800
\nHe was held in respect next to
\nthe parents and he had a double <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:32,800 –> 00:09:35,920
\nportion of inheritance.
\nThat was the first. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:36,160 –> 00:09:40,080
\nThe first borns peregrine.
\nHe was a priest, a king, and he <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:40,080 –> 00:09:42,000
\nhad a double portion of
\ninheritance. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:42,560 –> 00:09:47,160
\nBut under Jewish law, a younger
\nson could be elevated into the <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:47,160 –> 00:09:51,600
\nposition of a first born, and
\ntherefore when a younger son was<\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:51,600 –> 00:09:54,280
\nelevated into the personal
\nposition under the first born, <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:54,680 –> 00:09:58,640
\nthe older son had to take the
\nlower position under him. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:59,000 –> 00:10:03,120
\nThe younger son became the
\npriest, he became the king, and <\/p>\n
165
\n00:10:03,120 –> 00:10:05,800
\nhe received a double portion of
\ninheritance. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:10:06,640 –> 00:10:11,600
\nLike you read in the 1st at
\nColossians that that Jesus <\/p>\n
167
\n00:10:11,600 –> 00:10:14,720
\nChrist is the first born of
\nevery creature. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:10:15,760 –> 00:10:19,760
\nNow in a literal sense he wasn’t
\nbecause Adam was the first born.<\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:19,760 –> 00:10:23,840
\nAnd here’s the second second
\nAdam elevated into the position <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:23,840 –> 00:10:27,480
\nof first born.
\nThe psalmist was told I will <\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:27,480 –> 00:10:31,440
\nmake him my first born higher
\nthan the kings of the earth. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:32,080 –> 00:10:35,400
\nSo the psalmist, you see,
\npredicted that Jesus Christ <\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:35,400 –> 00:10:37,440
\nwould be elevated to the first
\nborn. <\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:38,440 –> 00:10:42,360
\nOne occasion, A7, Jehovah’s
\nWitness mentioned to me, he said<\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:42,360 –> 00:10:46,560
\nJesus Christ is the first born.
\nHe existed before all ever <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:46,560 –> 00:10:49,120
\ncreation.
\nHe was the first born. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:49,960 –> 00:10:52,160
\nSo I said, well, look, who was
\nhis mother? <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:52,920 –> 00:10:54,960
\nWilliam said he was the first
\nborn. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:55,080 –> 00:10:58,680
\nBut I said if he’s born, he must
\nhave a mother because you have <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:58,680 –> 00:11:01,680
\nto have a mother to be born,
\notherwise you’re created. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:11:02,200 –> 00:11:04,240
\nIf he’s the first born, he must
\nhave a mother. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:04,560 –> 00:11:06,400
\nTherefore, it’s a contradiction
\nin terms. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:11:06,600 –> 00:11:09,440
\nFirst born of every creature as
\nhe understood the term. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:11:09,840 –> 00:11:13,840
\nBut he could be elevated because
\na younger son could be elevated <\/p>\n
185
\n00:11:13,840 –> 00:11:16,400
\ninto the first born.
\nAnd you have right throughout <\/p>\n
186
\n00:11:16,400 –> 00:11:19,800
\nthe Scriptures, younger sons
\nelevated to that position. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:11:20,040 –> 00:11:24,920
\nDavid was 1, Joseph was another,
\nand Abraham was another. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:11:25,000 –> 00:11:28,080
\nThey were younger sons, but they
\nwere elevated into the position <\/p>\n
189
\n00:11:28,080 –> 00:11:32,120
\nof first born and God elevated
\nJesus Christ to that position. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:11:32,560 –> 00:11:37,320
\nNow here we have a Cain who was
\nthe oldest son and he was <\/p>\n
191
\n00:11:37,320 –> 00:11:41,520
\nappointed to be a priest.
\nHis mother’s words being witness<\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:41,800 –> 00:11:48,760
\nbeing deposed in the in, in, in,
\nand Abel being placed in his <\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:48,760 –> 00:11:51,280
\nposition.
\nSo he’s lost that position. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:51,840 –> 00:11:55,320
\nBut God says to him, if thou
\ndoest well, thou shalt thou not <\/p>\n
195
\n00:11:55,320 –> 00:12:01,400
\nbe accepted, and if thou shalt
\nnot do well, sin lieth at the <\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:01,400 –> 00:12:03,560
\ndoor.
\nNow that Hebrew word there <\/p>\n
197
\n00:12:03,560 –> 00:12:07,560
\nrendered sin can be translated
\nsin or sin offering. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:12:08,480 –> 00:12:10,840
\nAnd the word lieth signifies
\ncoucheth. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:12:11,240 –> 00:12:13,760
\nSo a sin offering coucheth at
\nthe door. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:12:14,560 –> 00:12:17,800
\nSo Canaan’s told, all is not
\nlost. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:12:18,520 –> 00:12:21,560
\nIf they’ll doest well, you will
\nbe accepted. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:12:21,760 –> 00:12:27,640
\nAnd if you do not do well, look,
\nGod is merciful outside there <\/p>\n
203
\n00:12:27,720 –> 00:12:30,480
\nyou’ve got a sin offering
\ncouching at the door. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:12:30,640 –> 00:12:34,000
\nThe thing that you haven’t
\noffered, that which Abel has <\/p>\n
205
\n00:12:34,000 –> 00:12:36,320
\noffered.
\nGo and offer that sin offering, <\/p>\n
206
\n00:12:36,960 –> 00:12:39,800
\nand then you will be reappointed
\ninto your position. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:12:40,680 –> 00:12:45,120
\nThe sin offering coucheth at the
\ndoor, and unto thee shall be his<\/p>\n
208
\n00:12:45,120 –> 00:12:50,280
\ndesire, the desire of Abel.
\nNow I think I pointed out that <\/p>\n
209
\n00:12:50,280 –> 00:12:55,680
\nin relation to Genesis 3 and
\nverse 16, thy desire shall be to<\/p>\n
210
\n00:12:55,680 –> 00:12:59,240
\nthy husband, that the concordant
\nrendition of the Bible renders <\/p>\n
211
\n00:12:59,240 –> 00:13:04,520
\nthat her restoration shall be
\nsubject to her husband, her <\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:04,520 –> 00:13:07,600
\nrestoration.
\nSo here you see, the same thing <\/p>\n
213
\n00:13:07,600 –> 00:13:12,720
\napplies unto thee.
\nCane, shall the restoration of <\/p>\n
214
\n00:13:12,840 –> 00:13:17,960
\nAbel be subject unto zoo, if you
\ndo that which is right? <\/p>\n
215
\n00:13:18,600 –> 00:13:22,880
\nAnd so Abel is being advised
\nhere to go and offer that sin <\/p>\n
216
\n00:13:22,880 –> 00:13:25,680
\noffering, the sin offering that
\ncouched at the door. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:13:25,880 –> 00:13:29,040
\nAnd if he would do that, then he
\nwould be elevated into the <\/p>\n
218
\n00:13:29,040 –> 00:13:32,360
\nposition that he heard
\noriginally, and Abel would be <\/p>\n
219
\n00:13:32,360 –> 00:13:35,720
\nsubject unto him.
\nBut that was not pleasing to <\/p>\n
220
\n00:13:35,720 –> 00:13:38,480
\ncane.
\nHe was not prepared to do that. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:13:38,800 –> 00:13:40,800
\nHe was not a man to humble
\nhimself. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:13:41,160 –> 00:13:43,880
\nHe was a man who wanted
\neverything his own way. <\/p>\n
223
\n00:13:44,080 –> 00:13:48,040
\nHis very name indicates that the
\nword cane itself means <\/p>\n
224
\n00:13:48,040 –> 00:13:51,320
\nacquisition or gain.
\nHe wants something and he’s <\/p>\n
225
\n00:13:51,320 –> 00:13:54,400
\ngoing to have it his own way,
\nand that’s a terrible thing. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:13:54,600 –> 00:13:57,280
\nAnd remember that.
\nThis is all developing out of <\/p>\n
227
\n00:13:57,280 –> 00:14:00,280
\nthe family of God.
\nRemember that this is part of <\/p>\n
228
\n00:14:00,280 –> 00:14:04,240
\nthe one family and we too can be
\nsusceptible to this sort of <\/p>\n
229
\n00:14:04,240 –> 00:14:06,840
\ninfluence.
\nAnd believe me, from my own <\/p>\n
230
\n00:14:06,840 –> 00:14:10,080
\npersonal experience of ecclesial
\nlife time. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:14:10,200 –> 00:14:14,720
\nAnd time and time again,
\npersonalities in in, in, in <\/p>\n
232
\n00:14:14,720 –> 00:14:20,360
\nintervene to make this situation
\n1 of tragedy within the ecclesia<\/p>\n
233
\n00:14:20,360 –> 00:14:24,120
\nof God.
\nNow we read in verse 8 that Cain<\/p>\n
234
\n00:14:24,120 –> 00:14:27,640
\ntalked with Abel his brother.
\nWe’re not told what he said to <\/p>\n
235
\n00:14:27,640 –> 00:14:30,840
\nAbel his brother.
\nThe subdued version does render <\/p>\n
236
\n00:14:30,840 –> 00:14:36,000
\nthat and says, Cain said unto
\nAbel his brother, let us go out <\/p>\n
237
\n00:14:36,000 –> 00:14:39,520
\ninto the field.
\nSo you see, Cain speaks to Abel <\/p>\n
238
\n00:14:39,520 –> 00:14:42,480
\ninstead of speaking to God, and
\nhe says, let us come out of the <\/p>\n
239
\n00:14:42,480 –> 00:14:45,240
\nfield somewhere where no one can
\nsee us. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:14:45,480 –> 00:14:48,160
\nAnd when he took him out of the
\nfield, of course, he rose up <\/p>\n
241
\n00:14:48,400 –> 00:14:51,480
\nagainst his brother Abel and
\nslew him. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:14:52,480 –> 00:14:55,160
\nHe slew him.
\nSo here was death. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:14:55,280 –> 00:14:58,440
\nHe wasn’t prepared to slay an
\nanimal, but he was prepared to <\/p>\n
244
\n00:14:58,440 –> 00:15:02,520
\nslay his brother.
\nHe wasn’t prepared to submit to <\/p>\n
245
\n00:15:02,520 –> 00:15:06,200
\nAlmighty God, but he was
\nprepared to destroy his brother <\/p>\n
246
\n00:15:06,360 –> 00:15:08,200
\nthat he might have the
\npreeminence. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:15:08,800 –> 00:15:12,440
\nAnd of course this is typical of
\nwhat happened in the days of <\/p>\n
248
\n00:15:12,520 –> 00:15:16,840
\nJesus Christ, because Jesus
\nChrist, of course is the anti <\/p>\n
249
\n00:15:16,840 –> 00:15:19,640
\ntypical Abel.
\nWe’re told that in the book of <\/p>\n
250
\n00:15:19,640 –> 00:15:25,160
\nHebrews.
\nAnd as Cain slew Abel, so the <\/p>\n
251
\n00:15:25,600 –> 00:15:30,200
\nJewish people of Christ, they
\nslew him and they became, as it <\/p>\n
252
\n00:15:30,200 –> 00:15:35,280
\nwere, the anti type of Cain.
\nYahweh said to Cain, where is <\/p>\n
253
\n00:15:35,280 –> 00:15:37,640
\nAbel thy brother?
\nAnd he said, I know neither am I<\/p>\n
254
\n00:15:37,640 –> 00:15:40,440
\nmy brother’s keeper.
\nOf course he’s his brother’s <\/p>\n
255
\n00:15:40,440 –> 00:15:42,520
\nkeeper.
\nThere’s a mere evasion that he <\/p>\n
256
\n00:15:42,520 –> 00:15:47,040
\nis saying here, and their voice
\ngoes on to say, What has thou <\/p>\n
257
\n00:15:47,040 –> 00:15:49,600
\ndone?
\nThe voice of thy brother’s blood<\/p>\n
258
\n00:15:49,600 –> 00:15:53,680
\ncryeth under me from the ground.
\nIt crieth under me from the <\/p>\n
259
\n00:15:53,680 –> 00:15:56,360
\nground.
\nThe word blood there, as you <\/p>\n
260
\n00:15:56,360 –> 00:15:59,840
\nnotice in the margin of your
\nBible, is in the plural. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:16:00,360 –> 00:16:04,280
\nThe voice of thy brother’s
\nbloods, plural, cryeth unto. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:16:04,440 –> 00:16:09,080
\nMe from the ground.
\nBecause you see, in cueing Abel,<\/p>\n
263
\n00:16:10,280 –> 00:16:13,360
\nCain had virtually destroyed his
\nposterity. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:16:14,880 –> 00:16:19,440
\nAnd when you go to the 53rd
\nchapter of Isaiah, you have <\/p>\n
265
\n00:16:19,440 –> 00:16:23,960
\nIsaiah in predicting the death
\nof Jesus Christ, virtually <\/p>\n
266
\n00:16:23,960 –> 00:16:26,040
\nspeaking in similar terms to
\nthat. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:16:26,520 –> 00:16:31,160
\nBecause in that 53rd chapter of
\nIsaiah and we read in verse 8, <\/p>\n
268
\n00:16:31,160 –> 00:16:33,480
\nhe was taken from prison and
\nfrom judgment. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:16:33,760 –> 00:16:35,920
\nAnd who shall declare his
\ngeneration? <\/p>\n
270
\n00:16:36,280 –> 00:16:38,680
\nFor he was cut off out of the
\nland of the living. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:16:38,920 –> 00:16:41,840
\nFor the transgression of my
\npeople shall he be stricken? <\/p>\n
272
\n00:16:42,240 –> 00:16:44,200
\nWho shall declare his
\ngeneration? <\/p>\n
273
\n00:16:44,760 –> 00:16:47,360
\nSo the Jewish people thought
\nthat when they slew the Lord <\/p>\n
274
\n00:16:47,440 –> 00:16:52,160
\nJesus Christ, that got rid of
\nhim and his posterity. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:16:52,680 –> 00:16:56,000
\nWe are told in John’s Gospel
\nthat they were determined that <\/p>\n
276
\n00:16:56,000 –> 00:16:59,440
\nnot only Jesus would die, but
\nthe apostles as well, His <\/p>\n
277
\n00:16:59,440 –> 00:17:02,760
\nfriends would die with him.
\nAnd so you see, as far as the <\/p>\n
278
\n00:17:02,760 –> 00:17:07,440
\nLord Jesus Christ was concerned,
\nwhen they slew him, the question<\/p>\n
279
\n00:17:07,440 –> 00:17:09,440
\nwas, who shall declare his
\ngeneration? <\/p>\n
280
\n00:17:09,960 –> 00:17:13,680
\nBut the same capital of
\nScripture says He shall see the <\/p>\n
281
\n00:17:13,680 –> 00:17:16,240
\ntravail of his soul and shall be
\nsatisfied. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:17:17,000 –> 00:17:20,880
\nAnd we read concerning that in
\nverse verse 10. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:17:21,359 –> 00:17:26,720
\nHe shall see his seed, He shall
\nprolong his days, and the <\/p>\n
284
\n00:17:26,720 –> 00:17:29,040
\npleasure of Yahweh shall prosper
\nin his hand. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:17:29,440 –> 00:17:34,800
\nThey said he has cut off, we are
\nrid of him who shall declare his<\/p>\n
286
\n00:17:34,800 –> 00:17:39,080
\ngeneration.
\nBut Jesus Christ saw his seed. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:17:39,320 –> 00:17:42,880
\nThere is the generation, and we
\nhope to form part of that <\/p>\n
288
\n00:17:42,880 –> 00:17:48,320
\ngeneration, part of that seed.
\nSo with Abel, the voice of the <\/p>\n
289
\n00:17:48,320 –> 00:17:52,480
\nAngel said to Cain, the voice of
\nmy brothers bloods, his <\/p>\n
290
\n00:17:52,480 –> 00:17:57,760
\nposterity cries out to me from
\nthe ground, and he will <\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:57,760 –> 00:18:02,840
\nvindicate Abel and his seed.
\nAnd we’re going to find out at <\/p>\n
292
\n00:18:02,840 –> 00:18:06,320
\nthe latter part of this chapter
\nthat Seth was appointed instead <\/p>\n
293
\n00:18:06,320 –> 00:18:11,400
\nof Abel.
\nSo the slaughter of of Abel by <\/p>\n
294
\n00:18:11,400 –> 00:18:15,880
\nCain did not affect what Cain
\ndesired of it, nor did the <\/p>\n
295
\n00:18:15,880 –> 00:18:19,840
\nslaughter of Jesus Christ by the
\nJewish people. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:18:20,200 –> 00:18:24,920
\nIt did not accomplish that which
\nthey desired, because of course,<\/p>\n
297
\n00:18:24,920 –> 00:18:29,480
\nas far as that was concerned,
\nthe the the works of the truth <\/p>\n
298
\n00:18:29,480 –> 00:18:33,320
\ncontinued on and prospered more
\nso after the death of Christ <\/p>\n
299
\n00:18:33,440 –> 00:18:38,400
\nthan ever it did before.
\nAnd so he is warning him that <\/p>\n
300
\n00:18:38,400 –> 00:18:42,240
\nhis brother’s blood’s flying to
\nme from the ground, And it cried<\/p>\n
301
\n00:18:42,240 –> 00:18:46,520
\nunto him for vengeance.
\nHebrew said, He being dead, yet <\/p>\n
302
\n00:18:46,520 –> 00:18:48,720
\nspeaketh.
\nAnd it didn’t matter that Abel <\/p>\n
303
\n00:18:48,720 –> 00:18:53,360
\nwas dead, came out to deal with
\nAlmighty God, and therefore his <\/p>\n
304
\n00:18:53,360 –> 00:18:56,480
\nblood tried from the ground, and
\nhe being dead, yet speaketh. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:18:57,400 –> 00:19:00,680
\nAnd we quoted I think from
\nHebrews 12 yesterday, where the <\/p>\n
306
\n00:19:00,680 –> 00:19:03,480
\nblood of Jesus Christ speaketh
\ngreater things than the blood of<\/p>\n
307
\n00:19:03,520 –> 00:19:05,440
\nAbel.
\nBecause in here there was <\/p>\n
308
\n00:19:05,440 –> 00:19:08,640
\nvengeance, but there there was
\nmercy and forgiveness. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:19:09,360 –> 00:19:14,480
\nNow we want to very carefully
\nfollow as far as these following<\/p>\n
310
\n00:19:14,480 –> 00:19:18,360
\nverses are concerned.
\nWe want to very carefully follow<\/p>\n
311
\n00:19:18,480 –> 00:19:23,160
\nthe punishment that was laid
\nupon Cain, and we want to see <\/p>\n
312
\n00:19:23,160 –> 00:19:28,400
\nhow this foreshadowed the very
\npunishment that’s been laid upon<\/p>\n
313
\n00:19:28,400 –> 00:19:31,720
\nthe Jewish people who crucified
\nthe Lord. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:19:32,160 –> 00:19:36,120
\nAnd then we will see how Jesus
\nChrist quoted this. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:19:36,240 –> 00:19:39,200
\nIn order to.
\nWarn the Jewish people of the <\/p>\n
316
\n00:19:39,200 –> 00:19:42,080
\nconsequences of their action
\nagainst him. <\/p>\n
317
\n00:19:43,640 –> 00:19:47,520
\nIn other words, we have here a
\nforeshadowing of the death of <\/p>\n
318
\n00:19:47,600 –> 00:19:50,760
\nJesus Christ.
\nAnd not only that, but of the <\/p>\n
319
\n00:19:50,760 –> 00:19:54,440
\npunishment that was laid upon
\ndays who put the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
320
\n00:19:54,440 –> 00:19:58,480
\nChrist to death.
\nAnd so we read here in verse 11.<\/p>\n
321
\n00:19:59,000 –> 00:20:00,840
\nHere’s the first part of the
\npunishment. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:20:00,840 –> 00:20:04,560
\nI came now I cursed from the
\nearth. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:20:05,320 –> 00:20:08,640
\nIt’s an additional curse to that
\nwhich is recorded in the 3rd <\/p>\n
324
\n00:20:08,640 –> 00:20:12,080
\nchapter, verse 19.
\nThou art cursed from the earth, <\/p>\n
325
\n00:20:12,080 –> 00:20:15,080
\nwhich hath hope in her mouth to
\nreceive thy brother’s blood from<\/p>\n
326
\n00:20:15,080 –> 00:20:17,800
\nthy hand.
\nWhen thou tillest the ground, it<\/p>\n
327
\n00:20:17,800 –> 00:20:20,200
\nshall not henceforth yield unto
\nthee her string. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:20:20,760 –> 00:20:25,120
\nA fugitive and a wanderer.
\nA vagaban means wanderer. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:20:25,320 –> 00:20:29,840
\nShalt thou be in the earth?
\nA fugitive and a wanderer. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:20:30,400 –> 00:20:34,920
\nSo that as far as Cain was
\nconcerned, he would get no <\/p>\n
331
\n00:20:34,920 –> 00:20:39,800
\nsatisfaction from the soil.
\nHe was previously a pillar of <\/p>\n
332
\n00:20:39,800 –> 00:20:43,840
\nthe soil.
\nNow the soil is not going to not<\/p>\n
333
\n00:20:43,840 –> 00:20:47,480
\ngoing to reveal its greatness to
\nhim and he’s going to be a <\/p>\n
334
\n00:20:47,480 –> 00:20:50,720
\nfugitive.
\nPeople are going to hunt him and<\/p>\n
335
\n00:20:50,720 –> 00:20:53,280
\nhe’s going to be a wanderer.
\nHe’s going to wander from place <\/p>\n
336
\n00:20:53,280 –> 00:20:55,960
\nto place.
\nNow consider the anti type of <\/p>\n
337
\n00:20:56,000 –> 00:20:57,400
\nthis.
\nAs far as the Jewish people are <\/p>\n
338
\n00:20:57,400 –> 00:21:00,080
\nconcerned.
\nWhen the Jews were in the land, <\/p>\n
339
\n00:21:00,080 –> 00:21:05,200
\nthey were a rural community.
\nThe land revealed to the land <\/p>\n
340
\n00:21:05,200 –> 00:21:07,160
\nthat produced its fruits for
\nthem. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:21:07,880 –> 00:21:11,560
\nOnce the Jewish people were
\ndriven from the land in 1870, <\/p>\n
342
\n00:21:11,920 –> 00:21:15,360
\nand they were driven into all
\nparts of the earth, no longer <\/p>\n
343
\n00:21:15,360 –> 00:21:18,720
\ndid they become a rural people.
\nThey had to enter into other <\/p>\n
344
\n00:21:18,840 –> 00:21:21,480
\noccupations.
\nThey become essentially <\/p>\n
345
\n00:21:21,640 –> 00:21:25,240
\nassociated with economics, they
\nbecome money lenders and so <\/p>\n
346
\n00:21:25,240 –> 00:21:27,080
\nforth.
\nNot that they wanted it that <\/p>\n
347
\n00:21:27,080 –> 00:21:30,240
\nway, but the laws of the land.
\nCompelled them to do that. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:21:30,800 –> 00:21:33,080
\nAnd then also the land in
\ndifferent countries where they <\/p>\n
349
\n00:21:33,080 –> 00:21:35,320
\nwere driven legislated against
\nthem. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:21:35,480 –> 00:21:37,760
\nThey weren’t allowed certain
\noccupations. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:21:37,840 –> 00:21:39,680
\nThey weren’t allowed the Puma
\nsoil. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:21:40,200 –> 00:21:43,480
\nThe legislation of countries in
\nEurope, in Poland, in Germany, <\/p>\n
353
\n00:21:43,480 –> 00:21:47,440
\nin Spain and other places, they
\nlegislated against the Jewish <\/p>\n
354
\n00:21:47,440 –> 00:21:50,760
\npeople so that they weren’t
\npermitted to till the soil that <\/p>\n
355
\n00:21:50,760 –> 00:21:53,680
\nthey wanted to.
\nIn other words, here we have the<\/p>\n
356
\n00:21:53,680 –> 00:21:57,360
\nanti type of of this.
\nAnd why did they legislate <\/p>\n
357
\n00:21:57,360 –> 00:22:00,320
\nagainst the Jewish people?
\nBecause they said they crucified<\/p>\n
358
\n00:22:00,320 –> 00:22:03,440
\nthe Messiah and that charge was
\nleveled against the Jewish <\/p>\n
359
\n00:22:03,440 –> 00:22:07,400
\npeople and they suffered in the
\nsame way as the pain. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:22:08,280 –> 00:22:10,800
\nNot only so, but they became
\nfugitives. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:22:11,080 –> 00:22:13,840
\nThey were driven from country to
\ncountry as fugitives. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:22:14,040 –> 00:22:17,840
\nThere were 100 like wild beasts
\nand it’s very, very interesting <\/p>\n
363
\n00:22:17,840 –> 00:22:21,440
\nto read the history of Israel
\nafter they were driven from the <\/p>\n
364
\n00:22:21,440 –> 00:22:26,160
\nland in 18 seventies. 18701870.
\nLet me get this right. <\/p>\n
365
\n00:22:26,400 –> 00:22:28,760
\nThey were driven from the land
\nin 1870. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:22:29,320 –> 00:22:33,280
\nAfter that, you know, they set
\nup their authority in different <\/p>\n
367
\n00:22:33,280 –> 00:22:35,000
\nparts of the land.
\nAnd it’s a very, very <\/p>\n
368
\n00:22:35,000 –> 00:22:40,520
\ninteresting history because they
\nhad their patriarch of Babylon. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:22:41,200 –> 00:22:44,120
\nAnd from Babylon there was
\nissued to the Jewish community <\/p>\n
370
\n00:22:44,120 –> 00:22:46,960
\nall over the world directives
\nwhat they should do when the <\/p>\n
371
\n00:22:46,960 –> 00:22:50,840
\npatriarch of Babylon failed at
\nthe the headquarters of the <\/p>\n
372
\n00:22:50,840 –> 00:22:53,840
\nJewish people went to Spain and
\nthe different parts of the world<\/p>\n
373
\n00:22:54,000 –> 00:22:57,760
\nright through the centuries.
\nBut they became fugitives and <\/p>\n
374
\n00:22:57,760 –> 00:23:02,080
\nWanderers in the earth, exactly
\nlike Cain did, because he slew <\/p>\n
375
\n00:23:02,200 –> 00:23:08,760
\nAbel and they slew Jesus Christ.
\nNow Cain says my punishment is <\/p>\n
376
\n00:23:08,760 –> 00:23:14,120
\ngreater than I can bear.
\nIt’s greater than he can bear, <\/p>\n
377
\n00:23:14,600 –> 00:23:17,400
\nand therefore a sense of
\nprotection was granted under <\/p>\n
378
\n00:23:17,400 –> 00:23:20,760
\nhim.
\nVerse 14 says Thou hast driven <\/p>\n
379
\n00:23:20,760 –> 00:23:24,600
\nme out this day from the face of
\nthe earth and from my face shall<\/p>\n
380
\n00:23:24,600 –> 00:23:28,720
\nI be hid, and I shall be a
\nfugitive and a vagabone in the <\/p>\n
381
\n00:23:28,720 –> 00:23:30,680
\nearth.
\nAnd it shall come to the past <\/p>\n
382
\n00:23:30,680 –> 00:23:32,920
\nthat everyone that findeth me
\nshall slaves. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:23:33,560 –> 00:23:37,920
\nWhich was true enough as far as
\nany was concerned, and also true<\/p>\n
384
\n00:23:37,920 –> 00:23:43,040
\nas far as as well as concerned.
\nHath God cut off these people? <\/p>\n
385
\n00:23:43,040 –> 00:23:47,400
\nSaid Paul.
\nAnd he went on to point out that<\/p>\n
386
\n00:23:47,400 –> 00:23:51,880
\nhe had, of course, broken off
\nthe branches from the good olive<\/p>\n
387
\n00:23:51,880 –> 00:23:58,000
\ntree and grafted in the Gentile
\nbranches, and Israel was driven <\/p>\n
388
\n00:23:58,000 –> 00:24:02,960
\naway, as it were, from the
\ncenter of worship in Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:24:03,640 –> 00:24:05,560
\nAnd.
\nTheir state, as far as that is <\/p>\n
390
\n00:24:05,560 –> 00:24:10,000
\nconcerned, was described by Paul
\nas blindness in part of happened<\/p>\n
391
\n00:24:10,000 –> 00:24:13,080
\nto Israel until the fullness of
\nthe Gentiles come in. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:24:13,840 –> 00:24:17,480
\nAnd the fullness of the Gentiles
\nmeans the fullness of the those <\/p>\n
393
\n00:24:17,480 –> 00:24:20,320
\nthat are going to be saved from
\namong the Gentiles. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:24:20,600 –> 00:24:24,160
\nAnd until that time blindness in
\npart of heaven to Israel. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:24:24,520 –> 00:24:27,200
\nAnd that’s the state of the
\nJewish people to this very day. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:24:27,720 –> 00:24:29,880
\nA remarkable fulfilment of
\nprophecy. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:24:30,160 –> 00:24:33,040
\nOf all the prophecies that we
\nhave in relation to the Jewish <\/p>\n
398
\n00:24:33,040 –> 00:24:35,680
\npeople, I consider this to be
\nthe greatest. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:24:36,120 –> 00:24:38,000
\nThe blindness in part of happy
\nevent. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:24:38,240 –> 00:24:40,720
\nLook, they’re back in the land
\non all sides. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:24:40,720 –> 00:24:42,960
\nThe evidences of God’s
\nhandiwork. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:24:43,200 –> 00:24:46,880
\nThey have it in archaeology, the
\nguidance of Almighty God in the <\/p>\n
403
\n00:24:46,880 –> 00:24:48,720
\npast.
\nThey have it in the fact that <\/p>\n
404
\n00:24:48,800 –> 00:24:52,240
\nthey are there in the land and
\nyet there is a sense of <\/p>\n
405
\n00:24:52,240 –> 00:24:55,640
\nblindness there.
\nMake no mistake about this, that<\/p>\n
406
\n00:24:55,640 –> 00:24:58,960
\nas far as the Jews in the land
\nare concerned, I believe that <\/p>\n
407
\n00:24:58,960 –> 00:25:02,240
\nthey something in that land does
\nsomething to them for their <\/p>\n
408
\n00:25:02,240 –> 00:25:06,000
\nbenefit.
\nThey are in large measure are <\/p>\n
409
\n00:25:06,000 –> 00:25:09,880
\nreligious people, no doubt about
\nthat, as far as their own <\/p>\n
410
\n00:25:09,880 –> 00:25:13,880
\nreligion is concerned.
\nI took a group once to a hotel <\/p>\n
411
\n00:25:13,880 –> 00:25:18,720
\nin in in Israel, and we were
\nthere for the evening meal and <\/p>\n
412
\n00:25:18,720 –> 00:25:21,720
\nwe were all sitting down at the
\ntable and the proprietor of the <\/p>\n
413
\n00:25:21,720 –> 00:25:23,920
\nhotel came to me and he said,
\nare you the cheerleader? <\/p>\n
414
\n00:25:23,920 –> 00:25:26,480
\nI said, yes, he says we’re about
\nto serve meals. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:25:26,480 –> 00:25:28,640
\nI said that’s fine.
\nHe said, are you going to give <\/p>\n
416
\n00:25:28,640 –> 00:25:33,240
\nthings publicly or not?
\nNow that was in a hotel in, in <\/p>\n
417
\n00:25:33,240 –> 00:25:36,400
\nIsrael, but there was a
\nblindness in part of heaven to <\/p>\n
418
\n00:25:36,400 –> 00:25:38,640
\nthem.
\nI will remember on one occasion <\/p>\n
419
\n00:25:38,640 –> 00:25:40,560
\nwe were travelling down towards
\nthe Dead Sea. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:25:41,320 –> 00:25:45,720
\nWe’re with a guide, our guide, a
\nvery fine Israeli who was a <\/p>\n
421
\n00:25:45,720 –> 00:25:48,560
\nreally just you.
\nAnd we’re going down to the Dead<\/p>\n
422
\n00:25:48,560 –> 00:25:52,000
\nSea and he wants to impress upon
\nus that there’s no living thing <\/p>\n
423
\n00:25:52,000 –> 00:25:54,960
\nin the Dead Sea.
\nSo he says there’s the Dead Sea,<\/p>\n
424
\n00:25:55,120 –> 00:25:58,240
\nthere are the hills of Moab,
\nnothing lives in the Dead Sea. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:25:58,720 –> 00:26:01,480
\nAnd so he said to impress us, he
\nsaid, I’ll tell you a little <\/p>\n
426
\n00:26:01,480 –> 00:26:04,640
\nstory about this.
\nThe other day he said, I was <\/p>\n
427
\n00:26:04,640 –> 00:26:08,480
\ndown at the Dead Sea.
\nAnd he said, I saw a mad Jew <\/p>\n
428
\n00:26:08,560 –> 00:26:11,960
\nfishing in the Dead Sea and
\nthere’s no fish there. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:26:11,960 –> 00:26:16,840
\nNothing lives in the Dead Sea.
\nSo I went up to this stupid Jew <\/p>\n
430
\n00:26:16,840 –> 00:26:20,120
\nand I said to him, what are you
\ndoing here? <\/p>\n
431
\n00:26:20,120 –> 00:26:22,040
\nAnd he said, I’m fishing in the
\nDead Sea. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:26:22,200 –> 00:26:24,480
\nAnd he said, you won’t get any
\nfish in the Dead Sea. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:26:24,520 –> 00:26:27,000
\nOh well you never know, said
\nthis fishing man. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:26:27,240 –> 00:26:29,080
\nYou might get something in the
\nDead Sea. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:26:29,720 –> 00:26:33,480
\nAnd the guide says look, I bet
\nyou 5 LB that you can’t get <\/p>\n
436
\n00:26:33,480 –> 00:26:35,680
\nanything in the Dead Sea.
\nAll righty, he says, I’ll take <\/p>\n
437
\n00:26:35,680 –> 00:26:38,160
\nthe bet.
\nThen he wound up the the line <\/p>\n
438
\n00:26:38,200 –> 00:26:41,440
\nand there’s a fish on the end of
\nthe line, the guide says. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:26:41,480 –> 00:26:48,000
\nHow many have you caught today?
\nHe says you’re the 5th, so <\/p>\n
440
\n00:26:48,000 –> 00:26:49,880
\nyou’ll see.
\nWe’re moving along the Dead Sea <\/p>\n
441
\n00:26:49,880 –> 00:26:53,160
\nand we’re going up on the on the
\nwestern side of the Dead Sea <\/p>\n
442
\n00:26:53,160 –> 00:26:56,440
\ntowards Masada.
\nAnd I spoke to the guy and I <\/p>\n
443
\n00:26:56,440 –> 00:27:01,200
\nsaid, now Luke, wait a moment.
\nI said, I don’t know, that Jew <\/p>\n
444
\n00:27:01,200 –> 00:27:04,000
\nmight have been as mad as you
\nsay he was, because it says in <\/p>\n
445
\n00:27:04,000 –> 00:27:06,760
\nthe Bible you can fish in the
\nDead Sea. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:27:07,600 –> 00:27:10,800
\nHe says it does not.
\nI said it does. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:27:11,040 –> 00:27:14,680
\nI said it says that they will
\nfish in the Dead Sea rather. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:27:15,000 –> 00:27:16,200
\nAnd now he.
\nSays it doesn’t. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:27:16,200 –> 00:27:18,920
\nI said it does.
\nHe says, where does it do that? <\/p>\n
450
\n00:27:18,920 –> 00:27:22,040
\nI said in in the 47th chapter of
\nEzekiel. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:27:22,240 –> 00:27:25,560
\nSo he had his Hebrew Bible, and
\nhe turned up to the 47th chapter<\/p>\n
452
\n00:27:25,560 –> 00:27:28,440
\nof the Hebrew, and he’s reading
\nit there about features at <\/p>\n
453
\n00:27:28,440 –> 00:27:32,600
\nEngetti, and he’s talking to the
\ndriver in Hebrew, and they’re <\/p>\n
454
\n00:27:32,600 –> 00:27:35,640
\ndiscussing this together.
\nAnd then he closes his book and <\/p>\n
455
\n00:27:35,640 –> 00:27:38,280
\nhe turns around to me and he
\nsays, look, Mr. Mansfield, when <\/p>\n
456
\n00:27:38,280 –> 00:27:41,120
\nyou come to this land, you
\nreally ought to know something. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:27:41,120 –> 00:27:42,720
\nAbout the.
\nBible, he said. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:27:43,000 –> 00:27:46,120
\nYou really ought to read it with
\nunderstanding, he said. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:27:46,120 –> 00:27:49,360
\nAnd if you don’t, you make these
\nawful mistakes that you’re <\/p>\n
460
\n00:27:49,360 –> 00:27:50,920
\nmaking.
\nNow, this is before all the <\/p>\n
461
\n00:27:50,920 –> 00:27:53,760
\nChristadelphians.
\nYou make these awful mistakes. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:27:53,760 –> 00:27:57,000
\nHe said that 47th chapter of
\nEzekiel, that’s a part of a <\/p>\n
463
\n00:27:57,000 –> 00:28:00,400
\nprophecy that won’t happen till
\nMessiahs in the earth. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:28:00,560 –> 00:28:03,160
\nThere’s going to be a great
\nearthquake in Jerusalem and <\/p>\n
465
\n00:28:03,160 –> 00:28:06,320
\nstreams of water will flow out
\nand tug down into the Dead Sea <\/p>\n
466
\n00:28:06,480 –> 00:28:08,200
\nand heal the waters of the Dead
\nSea. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:28:08,240 –> 00:28:09,640
\nThat’s when they’re going to
\nfinish. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:28:09,800 –> 00:28:12,160
\nUnderstand.
\nI said, yeah, yes, I understand.<\/p>\n
469
\n00:28:12,360 –> 00:28:15,320
\nSee.
\nBut when it came to Jesus Christ<\/p>\n
470
\n00:28:15,320 –> 00:28:18,960
\nand him crucified blind as a
\nbat, if you know what that <\/p>\n
471
\n00:28:18,960 –> 00:28:23,200
\nmeans, which I don’t, but it’s a
\nnice saying is blind blindness <\/p>\n
472
\n00:28:23,200 –> 00:28:26,360
\nhad part of happened to him.
\nNow you see here we have the <\/p>\n
473
\n00:28:26,360 –> 00:28:28,280
\nsame thing as far as Cain is
\nconcerned. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:28:28,480 –> 00:28:30,560
\nHe’d driven out from the
\npresence of Yahweh. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:28:30,560 –> 00:28:35,200
\nThat’s been the place where his
\nplace of worship has been set <\/p>\n
476
\n00:28:35,200 –> 00:28:36,920
\nup.
\nThere was a place where his <\/p>\n
477
\n00:28:36,920 –> 00:28:40,280
\nworship was set up and Cain was
\ndriven from that place of <\/p>\n
478
\n00:28:40,280 –> 00:28:42,160
\nworship.
\nAnd that is what he says. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:28:42,160 –> 00:28:46,400
\nFrom thy face shall I be hid?
\nWe never hid from the face of <\/p>\n
480
\n00:28:46,400 –> 00:28:49,600
\nGod, but it means there from the
\npresence of God. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:28:49,840 –> 00:28:53,840
\nIt’s like Jonah, he tried to get
\naway from the presence of God. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:28:53,840 –> 00:28:56,920
\nSo he went off the Tarsus, which
\nis Great Britain, you see. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:28:56,920 –> 00:28:59,960
\nHe had nothing to do, of course,
\nwith our friends from England, <\/p>\n
484
\n00:29:00,120 –> 00:29:02,800
\nthat that would be a right
\nabandoned from the presence of <\/p>\n
485
\n00:29:02,800 –> 00:29:06,000
\nGod.
\nBut this is the the point here. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:29:06,080 –> 00:29:09,240
\nFrom thy face shall I be hid,
\nand I shall be a fugitive and a <\/p>\n
487
\n00:29:09,240 –> 00:29:11,880
\nvagabone in the earth, and it
\nshall count the past that <\/p>\n
488
\n00:29:11,880 –> 00:29:13,920
\neveryone that findeth me shall
\nslay me. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:29:14,120 –> 00:29:18,520
\nTrue of a Jewish people, true of
\nCain on this case, and therefore<\/p>\n
490
\n00:29:18,520 –> 00:29:26,800
\na sense of protection in the
\nmercy of God because of the <\/p>\n
491
\n00:29:26,840 –> 00:29:29,240
\nbackground of things is given
\nunto Cain. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:29:30,920 –> 00:29:36,760
\nA sense of a measure of mercy
\nthrough the goodness of God, <\/p>\n
493
\n00:29:37,720 –> 00:29:42,040
\nbecause they are beloved for the
\nFather’s sake, is given to the <\/p>\n
494
\n00:29:42,040 –> 00:29:45,360
\nJewish people.
\nNo one can touch them with <\/p>\n
495
\n00:29:45,360 –> 00:29:48,600
\nimpunity.
\nNo one could touch Cain with <\/p>\n
496
\n00:29:48,600 –> 00:29:54,040
\nimpunity, and so vengeance shall
\nbe taken on him sevenfold, says <\/p>\n
497
\n00:29:54,040 –> 00:29:59,280
\nGod, if anyone touches Cain.
\nAnd Yahweh, we read, set a mark <\/p>\n
498
\n00:29:59,280 –> 00:30:04,000
\nupon Cain, lest Eddie, finding
\nhim, shall kill him. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:30:05,000 –> 00:30:07,960
\nSo there was a sense of
\nprotection placed upon Cain. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:30:08,640 –> 00:30:12,600
\nThere was a mark placed on Cain
\nso that anyone that saw him <\/p>\n
501
\n00:30:13,160 –> 00:30:18,520
\nwould know that there was the
\nprotection of God extended to <\/p>\n
502
\n00:30:18,520 –> 00:30:21,880
\nhim.
\nNow, as far as the Jewish people<\/p>\n
503
\n00:30:21,880 –> 00:30:24,320
\nare concerned, the same thing
\noccurs. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:30:24,760 –> 00:30:27,720
\nHe, the curse of him will be
\ncursed. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:30:28,040 –> 00:30:31,000
\nAnd that has happened down
\nthrough the centuries. <\/p>\n
506
\n00:30:31,080 –> 00:30:35,920
\nWhere’s Hitler’s regime today?
\nWhere’s the Czarist organization<\/p>\n
507
\n00:30:35,920 –> 00:30:38,680
\ntoday?
\nNow that was foreshadowed in the<\/p>\n
508
\n00:30:38,760 –> 00:30:41,200
\npunishment that was placed upon
\nCain. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:30:42,640 –> 00:30:46,240
\nWherever you go and you meet
\nJewish people, you know they’re <\/p>\n
510
\n00:30:46,240 –> 00:30:49,240
\nJewish people.
\nThey might like to evade the <\/p>\n
511
\n00:30:49,240 –> 00:30:51,720
\npoint.
\nThey may claim that they’re <\/p>\n
512
\n00:30:51,880 –> 00:30:55,040
\nEnglish or they may claim that
\nthey’re Italians, or they may <\/p>\n
513
\n00:30:55,040 –> 00:30:57,080
\nclaim that they’re even
\nAustralians. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:30:57,440 –> 00:31:01,840
\nThey fall so low.
\nBut nevertheless they are Jews. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:31:01,840 –> 00:31:05,240
\nAnd you know they are Jews.
\nYou go to the land of Israel and<\/p>\n
516
\n00:31:05,240 –> 00:31:08,720
\nthere’s villages that are Jews
\nthat came from India. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:31:08,720 –> 00:31:11,080
\nThey look like Indians, but
\nthey’re Jewish people and you <\/p>\n
518
\n00:31:11,080 –> 00:31:13,840
\nknow it.
\nI had a humanoid Jew as a guide <\/p>\n
519
\n00:31:13,840 –> 00:31:17,160
\nfor me to take me up to the top
\nof Mount Sinai, and he looked <\/p>\n
520
\n00:31:17,160 –> 00:31:19,960
\nlike an Arab, but he was a Jew
\nand you knew he was a Jew. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:31:20,440 –> 00:31:24,440
\nThere’s something there that
\nthat that that is in this. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:31:24,440 –> 00:31:28,680
\nThat is clearly evident that the
\nJew is a Jew at the age. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:31:28,680 –> 00:31:30,600
\nSo that man is a Jew and you
\nknow it. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:31:30,800 –> 00:31:34,120
\nThere’s a distinguishing mark
\nupon him, and that is marked <\/p>\n
525
\n00:31:34,120 –> 00:31:37,480
\nupon Cain.
\nNot that God is interested in US<\/p>\n
526
\n00:31:37,480 –> 00:31:40,600
\nknowing what’s going to happen
\nto Cain, but He is interested in<\/p>\n
527
\n00:31:40,600 –> 00:31:45,280
\nUS to show us that what is being
\ndone there will be repeated in <\/p>\n
528
\n00:31:45,280 –> 00:31:48,200
\nhistory.
\nAnd so there’s a mark set upon <\/p>\n
529
\n00:31:48,200 –> 00:31:52,160
\nCain, and Cain went out, we
\nread, from the presence of <\/p>\n
530
\n00:31:52,160 –> 00:31:54,840
\nYahweh.
\nHe departed from that place on <\/p>\n
531
\n00:31:54,840 –> 00:31:57,800
\nthe east of the garden where the
\nTabernacle was set up and the <\/p>\n
532
\n00:31:57,800 –> 00:32:01,960
\ncentre of worship was found, and
\nhe was sent out in all parts of <\/p>\n
533
\n00:32:01,960 –> 00:32:03,720
\nthe earth.
\nHe became a fugitive and a <\/p>\n
534
\n00:32:03,720 –> 00:32:06,960
\nwanderer.
\nExactly what happened in AD 70, <\/p>\n
535
\n00:32:07,320 –> 00:32:12,160
\nExactly what happened in AD 70.
\nHe was sent from the centre of <\/p>\n
536
\n00:32:12,160 –> 00:32:17,400
\nworship and we have, as far as
\nCana is concerned, he dwelt in <\/p>\n
537
\n00:32:17,400 –> 00:32:21,480
\nthe land of nod, and the word
\nnod means exile. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:32:21,920 –> 00:32:24,520
\nSo it dwelt in the land of
\nexile. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:32:24,760 –> 00:32:28,200
\nAnd that’s exactly where the
\nJewish people have dwelt since <\/p>\n
540
\n00:32:28,200 –> 00:32:32,880
\nthen, in the land of exile on
\nthe east of Eden. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:32:33,480 –> 00:32:36,400
\nSo you see, you take all the
\nvarious points that of this <\/p>\n
542
\n00:32:36,400 –> 00:32:41,480
\npunishment, as far as Cana is
\nconcerned #1 the earth will not <\/p>\n
543
\n00:32:42,320 –> 00:32:48,000
\nrespond #2 He would be a
\nwanderer #3 cut off from the <\/p>\n
544
\n00:32:48,000 –> 00:32:53,240
\npresence of Yahweh #4.
\nHe would be oppressed #5A mark <\/p>\n
545
\n00:32:53,240 –> 00:32:56,720
\nof distinction number six.
\nPeople would try to kill him. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:32:56,920 –> 00:33:01,280
\nNow let’s come over to the 23rd
\nchapter of Matthew and read what<\/p>\n
547
\n00:33:01,280 –> 00:33:05,080
\nJesus Christ told the generation
\nof Jews, that we’re about to <\/p>\n
548
\n00:33:05,080 –> 00:33:08,720
\nslay him.
\nAnd so in the 23rd chapter of <\/p>\n
549
\n00:33:08,720 –> 00:33:20,960
\nMatthew, and at verse 3033, the
\nLord says, Ye serpents, they <\/p>\n
550
\n00:33:20,960 –> 00:33:25,600
\nwere the seed of the serpent, ye
\ngeneration of vapors. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:33:27,680 –> 00:33:30,960
\nWherefore, behold, I send before
\nyou prophets of wise men and <\/p>\n
552
\n00:33:30,960 –> 00:33:34,560
\nscribes, and some of them ye
\nshall kill and crucify like <\/p>\n
553
\n00:33:34,560 –> 00:33:37,240
\nCain.
\nSome of them you shall scourge <\/p>\n
554
\n00:33:37,240 –> 00:33:40,920
\nin your synagogues and persecute
\nthem from city to city, that <\/p>\n
555
\n00:33:40,920 –> 00:33:45,400
\nupon you may come all the
\nrighteous blood shed upon the <\/p>\n
556
\n00:33:45,400 –> 00:33:46,960
\nearth.
\nFrom the blood of righteous <\/p>\n
557
\n00:33:46,960 –> 00:33:50,880
\nAbel.
\nUpon you will come the <\/p>\n
558
\n00:33:50,880 –> 00:33:55,440
\npunishment that was exactly
\nagainst Cain, because he slew <\/p>\n
559
\n00:33:55,440 –> 00:33:58,480
\nAbel.
\nNow, those Jewish people could <\/p>\n
560
\n00:33:58,480 –> 00:34:02,120
\nhave read the fourth chapter of
\nGenesis and they could have <\/p>\n
561
\n00:34:02,120 –> 00:34:05,720
\nunderstood exactly what’s going
\nto happen to them, that they <\/p>\n
562
\n00:34:05,720 –> 00:34:08,679
\nwould become, as it were,
\nWanderers, that they would <\/p>\n
563
\n00:34:08,679 –> 00:34:11,280
\nbecome fugitives, that they
\nwould be driven. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:34:11,280 –> 00:34:15,400
\nFrom the land.
\nThat they would suffer and <\/p>\n
565
\n00:34:15,400 –> 00:34:18,679
\nthere’d be an exile from
\nAlmighty God whilst they <\/p>\n
566
\n00:34:18,679 –> 00:34:22,040
\nremained of that condition.
\nThey didn’t have to remain in <\/p>\n
567
\n00:34:22,040 –> 00:34:23,920
\nthat condition.
\nIt’s a warning that Jesus is <\/p>\n
568
\n00:34:23,920 –> 00:34:26,360
\nissuing to them.
\nThat the Lord. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:34:26,360 –> 00:34:29,560
\nJesus Christ there was taking
\nhold of this 4th chapter of <\/p>\n
570
\n00:34:29,560 –> 00:34:33,239
\nGenesis and he’s applying it to
\nthe Jewish people and warning <\/p>\n
571
\n00:34:33,239 –> 00:34:34,560
\nthem what’s going to happen to
\nthem. <\/p>\n
572
\n00:34:35,159 –> 00:34:38,400
\nSo you see, here we have the
\nfirst advent of the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
573
\n00:34:38,400 –> 00:34:42,840
\nChrist, and the consequence of
\nthem denying the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
574
\n00:34:42,840 –> 00:34:47,120
\nChrist is right, and the
\npunishment that was exacted upon<\/p>\n
575
\n00:34:47,120 –> 00:34:51,320
\nthem foreshadowed here before
\nthere is a Jewish nation <\/p>\n
576
\n00:34:52,159 –> 00:34:54,920
\nforeshadowed at the very epoch.
\nOf. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:34:54,920 –> 00:34:57,800
\nCreation that there may be laid
\ndown the. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:34:57,800 –> 00:34:59,800
\nPrinciples above which God would
\nwork. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:35:00,320 –> 00:35:02,800
\nRight until the establishment of
\nthe Kingdom of God. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:35:04,320 –> 00:35:08,040
\nNow we go on to the life of
\nCain, that to the to the sons of<\/p>\n
581
\n00:35:08,040 –> 00:35:10,400
\nCain.
\nWe read in verse 16 that Cain <\/p>\n
582
\n00:35:10,400 –> 00:35:12,840
\nwent out from the presence of
\nYahweh and dwelt on the east of <\/p>\n
583
\n00:35:12,840 –> 00:35:15,280
\nNod and the land of Nod on the
\neast of Eden. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:35:15,680 –> 00:35:18,800
\nAnd Cain knew his wife and she
\nconceived the bear Enoch, and he<\/p>\n
585
\n00:35:18,800 –> 00:35:22,120
\nbuilded a city and called the
\nname of the city after the name <\/p>\n
586
\n00:35:22,120 –> 00:35:24,440
\nof his son Enoch.
\nVery important. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:35:24,880 –> 00:35:27,760
\nThat’s exactly what has happened
\nsince the Jewish people were <\/p>\n
588
\n00:35:27,760 –> 00:35:32,160
\ndriven from their land in 1870.
\nExactly what has happened, and <\/p>\n
589
\n00:35:32,160 –> 00:35:35,400
\nthe Book of Revelation tells us
\nthat in the Book of Revelation <\/p>\n
590
\n00:35:35,400 –> 00:35:38,560
\nyou have a city and it’s called
\nBabylon the Great, and it’s a <\/p>\n
591
\n00:35:38,560 –> 00:35:42,360
\ncity of religion.
\nAnd this city here that Cain <\/p>\n
592
\n00:35:42,360 –> 00:35:46,880
\nbuilt, that kind of that city
\nlikewise was another form of <\/p>\n
593
\n00:35:46,880 –> 00:35:49,000
\nreligion.
\nIn apostasy to the truth. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:35:49,240 –> 00:35:53,160
\nThe name of the city is Enoch.
\nThat name means dedicated. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:35:53,360 –> 00:35:56,800
\nIt was a dedicated city.
\nIt was a center of worship. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:35:56,960 –> 00:36:00,880
\nIt was Babylon the Great of the
\ndays of Cain, and he said his <\/p>\n
597
\n00:36:00,880 –> 00:36:03,680
\nson there, his son is going to
\nbe high priest. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:36:03,800 –> 00:36:08,360
\nSo here we have the Pope of that
\nparticular time in the son of <\/p>\n
599
\n00:36:08,360 –> 00:36:14,440
\nCain, the murderer, the one that
\nrejected Abel. <\/p>\n
600
\n00:36:15,280 –> 00:36:20,640
\nHe becomes the high priest of
\nthis this city of worship in <\/p>\n
601
\n00:36:20,640 –> 00:36:24,480
\napostasy from Almighty God.
\nAnd we go to the Book of <\/p>\n
602
\n00:36:24,480 –> 00:36:27,720
\nRevelation, we find Babylon the
\nGreat, and we find the papacy <\/p>\n
603
\n00:36:27,720 –> 00:36:31,160
\nthere established there.
\nAnd we find that that city is a <\/p>\n
604
\n00:36:31,160 –> 00:36:36,440
\ncity of dedication as well as it
\nwas in the case of this city of <\/p>\n
605
\n00:36:36,480 –> 00:36:39,040
\nCain.
\nAnd you know, here’s an <\/p>\n
606
\n00:36:39,040 –> 00:36:41,960
\ninteresting thing.
\nThere were 12 apostles, weren’t <\/p>\n
607
\n00:36:41,960 –> 00:36:44,120
\nthere?
\nAnd most of them were fishermen <\/p>\n
608
\n00:36:44,120 –> 00:36:47,120
\nand they were Galileans.
\nBut there was one of them that <\/p>\n
609
\n00:36:47,120 –> 00:36:49,200
\nwasn’t a fisherman and wasn’t a
\nGalilean. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:36:49,400 –> 00:36:53,400
\nAnd he was Judith Iscariot.
\nAnd the name Judith Iscariot <\/p>\n
611
\n00:36:53,400 –> 00:36:56,680
\nmeans praise the man of the
\ncity. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:36:57,800 –> 00:37:03,000
\nPraise the man of the city.
\nStrange name for an apostle to <\/p>\n
613
\n00:37:03,000 –> 00:37:05,800
\nhand.
\nAnd he was a city dweller. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:37:06,640 –> 00:37:10,880
\nAnd it wasn’t so much Jerusalem
\nas, of course, the city of <\/p>\n
615
\n00:37:10,880 –> 00:37:14,360
\napostasy.
\nNow, you see, you have a city <\/p>\n
616
\n00:37:14,360 –> 00:37:16,000
\nhere.
\nYou have a city in the Book of <\/p>\n
617
\n00:37:16,000 –> 00:37:20,000
\nRevelation, and that city
\ndeveloped out of Cain, and that <\/p>\n
618
\n00:37:20,000 –> 00:37:24,040
\ncity in Revelation developed out
\nof an attitude like Cain, an <\/p>\n
619
\n00:37:24,040 –> 00:37:26,760
\nattitude of violence against the
\npeople of God. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:37:27,040 –> 00:37:30,240
\nWhen that city was opened, there
\nwas found in that city the blood<\/p>\n
621
\n00:37:30,240 –> 00:37:34,280
\nof apostles and prophets and the
\nwise and the men that followed <\/p>\n
622
\n00:37:34,280 –> 00:37:37,480
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ.
\nWe are told in the 80th chapter <\/p>\n
623
\n00:37:37,480 –> 00:37:40,440
\nof the Revelation.
\nHere it when it was uncovered, <\/p>\n
624
\n00:37:40,440 –> 00:37:43,560
\nit was full of blood, the blood
\nof the persecuted people. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:37:44,120 –> 00:37:48,160
\nSo you see, there is an exact
\nparallel or foreshadowing <\/p>\n
626
\n00:37:48,360 –> 00:37:50,720
\nbetween what Kane did and what
\nwe have in the Book of <\/p>\n
627
\n00:37:50,720 –> 00:37:54,000
\nRevelation.
\nAnd when you come to consider <\/p>\n
628
\n00:37:54,000 –> 00:37:58,880
\nthis, you find that exactly what
\nhappened in Genesis happened <\/p>\n
629
\n00:37:58,880 –> 00:38:01,120
\nthere.
\nHow did the apostasy develop? <\/p>\n
630
\n00:38:01,320 –> 00:38:05,280
\nWhence came the Roman Catholic
\nChurch with all its mighty power<\/p>\n
631
\n00:38:05,520 –> 00:38:08,960
\nand it’s persecuting fervor and
\nit’s bloodshed? <\/p>\n
632
\n00:38:09,040 –> 00:38:14,480
\nWhere did it arise from but the
\necclesia, the seeds of it were <\/p>\n
633
\n00:38:14,480 –> 00:38:17,520
\nin the ecclesia.
\nThe apostle Paul in the 20th <\/p>\n
634
\n00:38:17,520 –> 00:38:21,040
\nchapter of Acts, and I think in
\nthis verse 28, says of your own <\/p>\n
635
\n00:38:21,040 –> 00:38:24,160
\nselves shall minimize speaking
\nperverse things. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:38:24,600 –> 00:38:27,880
\nIn the second of Timothy chapter
\n4, he says that the time would <\/p>\n
637
\n00:38:27,880 –> 00:38:31,280
\narise where they would no longer
\nlisten to the truth, but with <\/p>\n
638
\n00:38:31,280 –> 00:38:34,200
\nitching ears they would heed to
\nthemselves teachers that would <\/p>\n
639
\n00:38:34,200 –> 00:38:35,920
\nget tell them what they want to
\nhear. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:38:36,400 –> 00:38:40,760
\nWhen the Lord Jesus Christ spoke
\nto the ecclesia at Thora Torah, <\/p>\n
641
\n00:38:40,880 –> 00:38:45,040
\nhe said this I have against you
\nthat you tolerate you tolerate <\/p>\n
642
\n00:38:45,160 –> 00:38:49,240
\nJezebel in your midst, one that
\nwill seduce the servants of God.<\/p>\n
643
\n00:38:49,520 –> 00:38:54,360
\nWhen you come to the the 12th
\nchapter of the Revelation, you <\/p>\n
644
\n00:38:54,360 –> 00:38:58,520
\nhave the man’s sin arising, the
\none that’s going to make <\/p>\n
645
\n00:38:59,320 –> 00:39:02,000
\nso-called Christianity the state
\nreligion. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:39:02,440 –> 00:39:08,160
\nAnd he, it is represented as a
\nwoman giving birth to a child, <\/p>\n
647
\n00:39:08,760 –> 00:39:12,120
\nno longer the virgin, she’s
\ngoing to give birth to the <\/p>\n
648
\n00:39:12,120 –> 00:39:13,760
\nchild.
\nAnd that child’s going to be <\/p>\n
649
\n00:39:13,760 –> 00:39:16,960
\nconstant on the great.
\nAnd he came to power in the year<\/p>\n
650
\n00:39:16,960 –> 00:39:21,680
\n313 AD, which is exactly 2. 180
\nyears. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:39:21,920 –> 00:39:26,920
\nAfter the first apostasy was
\nintroduced to the 14th chapter <\/p>\n
652
\n00:39:26,920 –> 00:39:33,640
\nof Acts, 280 years, the time
\nnormally that is the period, a <\/p>\n
653
\n00:39:33,640 –> 00:39:36,680
\nday for a year for the time
\nbetween conception and birth. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:39:36,880 –> 00:39:41,360
\nAnd there was the birth and the
\nman sin of the of the Revelation<\/p>\n
655
\n00:39:41,360 –> 00:39:43,240
\nchapter 12.
\nAnd then you have the <\/p>\n
656
\n00:39:43,240 –> 00:39:47,000
\ndevelopment of the papacy as you
\nhave it in Babylon the Great and<\/p>\n
657
\n00:39:47,000 –> 00:39:51,320
\nthe 18th chapter all developed.
\nAll developed out of the <\/p>\n
658
\n00:39:51,320 –> 00:39:54,840
\necclesia.
\nAnd such a minor thing, brethren<\/p>\n
659
\n00:39:54,840 –> 00:39:59,640
\nand sisters, was that first
\napostasy merely that we should <\/p>\n
660
\n00:39:59,640 –> 00:40:02,880
\nobserve the Judaistic
\nprinciples? <\/p>\n
661
\n00:40:03,440 –> 00:40:06,240
\nOr the ceremonial ceremonials of
\nthe law. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:40:06,240 –> 00:40:08,400
\nThat’s all.
\nWhat’s wrong with that? <\/p>\n
663
\n00:40:08,640 –> 00:40:12,320
\nLet’s get along with it.
\nNothing wrong with it, but that <\/p>\n
664
\n00:40:12,320 –> 00:40:16,120
\nlittle slight deviation.
\nThe further it went. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:40:16,320 –> 00:40:20,240
\nWent out like that until it
\nbroadened out to establish the <\/p>\n
666
\n00:40:20,240 –> 00:40:24,760
\napostasy upon the earth that.
\nDestroyed and rooted those that <\/p>\n
667
\n00:40:24,760 –> 00:40:27,200
\ndared.
\nStand for the principles of the <\/p>\n
668
\n00:40:27,200 –> 00:40:29,760
\ntruth.
\nThat is the history of the <\/p>\n
669
\n00:40:29,760 –> 00:40:32,480
\necclesia.
\nAnd that’s what God is warning <\/p>\n
670
\n00:40:32,480 –> 00:40:35,240
\nus in this 4th chapter of
\nGenesis. <\/p>\n
671
\n00:40:35,400 –> 00:40:39,080
\nBecause you see, the further
\nthat man Cain goes, the worse <\/p>\n
672
\n00:40:39,080 –> 00:40:43,720
\nthe apostasy begins it becomes.
\nAnd that’s the warning that’s <\/p>\n
673
\n00:40:43,720 –> 00:40:46,480
\nlaid down there, not to merely
\ntell us what happened to Cain <\/p>\n
674
\n00:40:46,480 –> 00:40:50,360
\nand his children, but to remind
\nus of what can happen in our <\/p>\n
675
\n00:40:50,360 –> 00:40:55,640
\nDian generation.
\nWatch, therefore, keep awake, be<\/p>\n
676
\n00:40:55,640 –> 00:40:59,920
\nvigilant, make yourselves
\nperfectly familiar to the things<\/p>\n
677
\n00:40:59,920 –> 00:41:04,520
\nof God, and cling to those
\nthings tenaciously, as did Abel,<\/p>\n
678
\n00:41:04,520 –> 00:41:06,720
\nwho was prepared to die for
\nthem. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:41:08,160 –> 00:41:11,240
\nAnd are we prepared to die for
\nthe things of God? <\/p>\n
680
\n00:41:11,600 –> 00:41:15,040
\nHe offered that lamb, you know,
\nand that lamb was representative<\/p>\n
681
\n00:41:15,040 –> 00:41:17,520
\nof himself.
\nFor when that lamb of the, when <\/p>\n
682
\n00:41:17,520 –> 00:41:21,160
\nthe blood of the lamb was shed,
\nAbel was virtually saying to God<\/p>\n
683
\n00:41:21,160 –> 00:41:23,240
\nthat he was prepared to die for
\nGod. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:41:23,640 –> 00:41:25,880
\nWhen we take the bread and the
\nwine, that’s really what we’re <\/p>\n
685
\n00:41:25,880 –> 00:41:29,600
\ngoing to say, are we?
\nYou know, a little bit of <\/p>\n
686
\n00:41:29,600 –> 00:41:33,520
\ntrouble occurs at what happens.
\nWe divert away from it. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:41:34,400 –> 00:41:37,720
\nThat’s the lesson that is
\nbrought here and there. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:41:37,720 –> 00:41:42,240
\nWe have now 2 systems of
\nreligion in the antediluvian <\/p>\n
689
\n00:41:42,240 –> 00:41:47,080
\nage, one that follows the line
\nof Abel and one that follows the<\/p>\n
690
\n00:41:47,080 –> 00:41:50,520
\nline of Cain.
\nAnd as we check through the life<\/p>\n
691
\n00:41:50,600 –> 00:41:54,280
\nof these descendants of Cain and
\nthe descendants of Seb, we’re <\/p>\n
692
\n00:41:54,280 –> 00:41:58,640
\ngoing to see exactly what’s
\nhappening at the present time in<\/p>\n
693
\n00:41:58,640 –> 00:42:02,920
\nthe earth.
\nNow we have the names of Cain’s <\/p>\n
694
\n00:42:02,920 –> 00:42:06,680
\ndescendants.
\nHere in verse 18 onwards. <\/p>\n
695
\n00:42:07,040 –> 00:42:10,480
\nWe have first of all until Enoch
\nwas born, I rat. <\/p>\n
696
\n00:42:11,000 –> 00:42:15,640
\nNow I rat means a wild ass.
\nIt speaks of someone who is self<\/p>\n
697
\n00:42:15,640 –> 00:42:19,080
\nwilled, who is wayward.
\nIt’s a symbol, as a matter of <\/p>\n
698
\n00:42:19,080 –> 00:42:22,400
\nfact, in the rest of the
\nScripture of apostate Israel. <\/p>\n
699
\n00:42:22,880 –> 00:42:26,720
\nSo you see, it’s emphasizing the
\nwaywardness, the self willed <\/p>\n
700
\n00:42:26,720 –> 00:42:32,600
\nattitude of the descendants of
\nCain and he begat Mahujay Yale. <\/p>\n
701
\n00:42:33,080 –> 00:42:36,400
\nAnd that means smitten of God, a
\nman that is self-centered. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:42:38,000 –> 00:42:39,840
\nA.
\nPerson who’s got to look after <\/p>\n
703
\n00:42:39,840 –> 00:42:43,240
\nhimself, he’s not going to worry
\nabout God because he doesn’t <\/p>\n
704
\n00:42:43,360 –> 00:42:49,320
\nthink God can help him and he
\ngives birth or he begets rather <\/p>\n
705
\n00:42:49,560 –> 00:42:53,920
\nMethusel.
\nAnd Methusel means a man of God <\/p>\n
706
\n00:42:54,200 –> 00:42:58,600
\nbrought up to a full stature.
\nNow as these are all associated <\/p>\n
707
\n00:42:58,600 –> 00:43:02,840
\nwith Cain and Enoch and this
\ncity, which is a city of <\/p>\n
708
\n00:43:02,840 –> 00:43:07,040
\ndevotion and religion, so here
\nis the food development of that <\/p>\n
709
\n00:43:07,040 –> 00:43:09,840
\nassociation and that religious
\napostasy. <\/p>\n
710
\n00:43:10,120 –> 00:43:13,400
\nIt’s like the papacy that
\ngradually developed until <\/p>\n
711
\n00:43:13,560 –> 00:43:17,480
\nfinally in the days of Justinian
\nand later on in the period of <\/p>\n
712
\n00:43:17,480 –> 00:43:24,000
\nfocus, it stood up in all its
\npower, in all its its magnitude <\/p>\n
713
\n00:43:24,760 –> 00:43:28,080
\nand men looked at it.
\nI wondered at it as we read in <\/p>\n
714
\n00:43:28,080 –> 00:43:30,960
\nthe Book of Revelation.
\nSo you see in the descent of <\/p>\n
715
\n00:43:30,960 –> 00:43:34,800
\nCain here you have been the very
\nnames of those men, an <\/p>\n
716
\n00:43:34,800 –> 00:43:39,040
\nindication of the historical
\ndevelopments at that time. <\/p>\n
717
\n00:43:39,240 –> 00:43:44,400
\nUntil you find a man standing up
\nand saying I am a man of God, I <\/p>\n
718
\n00:43:44,400 –> 00:43:49,560
\nam the vicar of Jesus Christ.
\nI am infallible, I am the Pope, <\/p>\n
719
\n00:43:50,520 –> 00:43:53,840
\nand you have that I believe
\ndeveloped here in for in <\/p>\n
720
\n00:43:53,920 –> 00:43:57,240
\nforeshadow.
\nAnd now we come to this man <\/p>\n
721
\n00:43:57,320 –> 00:44:01,120
\nLamech, and we got a lot of the
\nconcerning him. <\/p>\n
722
\n00:44:01,560 –> 00:44:04,600
\nHe extends to the rest of this
\nchapter Lamech. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:44:06,000 –> 00:44:08,480
\nAnd the word Lamech means an
\noverthrower. <\/p>\n
724
\n00:44:08,480 –> 00:44:13,720
\nHe’s a word that signifies a
\nstrong young man, and he’s <\/p>\n
725
\n00:44:13,720 –> 00:44:16,720
\nliving in perilous times, no
\ndoubt about that. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:44:17,160 –> 00:44:20,160
\nAnd we’re going to see, as his
\nlife unfolds before us in <\/p>\n
727
\n00:44:20,160 –> 00:44:28,320
\ndetail, that is noted for
\npermissiveness, for profit, for <\/p>\n
728
\n00:44:28,320 –> 00:44:33,800
\npleasure, for power.
\nThey are the three things that <\/p>\n
729
\n00:44:33,800 –> 00:44:38,520
\ndominate Lamech.
\nHe wants his own way. <\/p>\n
730
\n00:44:39,000 –> 00:44:43,760
\nIt’s an age of permissiveness.
\nIt’s an age of profit. <\/p>\n
731
\n00:44:44,560 –> 00:44:50,360
\nIt’s an age of pleasure, it’s an
\nage of power, it’s an exact <\/p>\n
732
\n00:44:50,360 –> 00:44:56,040
\nforeshadowing of the conditions
\nin which we are living, and it <\/p>\n
733
\n00:44:56,040 –> 00:45:00,600
\nforms the foundation of the
\nstate of things that God <\/p>\n
734
\n00:45:00,600 –> 00:45:09,400
\ndestroyed with a flag.
\nLamac is the evil genius of his <\/p>\n
735
\n00:45:09,440 –> 00:45:14,360
\nage and generation.
\nFirst of all, there’s a state of<\/p>\n
736
\n00:45:14,360 –> 00:45:18,680
\npermissiveness.
\nFor the first time we have <\/p>\n
737
\n00:45:18,680 –> 00:45:22,760
\npolygamy.
\nThere is the breakdown of the <\/p>\n
738
\n00:45:22,760 –> 00:45:27,440
\nfamily unit.
\nThere is the ignoring of the <\/p>\n
739
\n00:45:27,440 –> 00:45:31,920
\nprinciples of marriage that is
\ngiven in the early chapters of <\/p>\n
740
\n00:45:31,920 –> 00:45:35,320
\nGenesis.
\nHe’s going to take to himself. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:45:35,440 –> 00:45:40,440
\n2.
\nWives, and we know we live in an<\/p>\n
742
\n00:45:40,440 –> 00:45:44,320
\nage of declining morals in that
\nregard. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:45:45,360 –> 00:45:50,600
\nThat is very disturbing, the
\nconditions in Australia in that <\/p>\n
744
\n00:45:50,600 –> 00:45:52,960
\nregard.
\nThen I suppose it’s just as bad <\/p>\n
745
\n00:45:52,960 –> 00:45:55,280
\nhere.
\nI don’t mean to the ecclesia, I <\/p>\n
746
\n00:45:55,280 –> 00:46:00,800
\nmean the world are frightful.
\nIt worries me really. <\/p>\n
747
\n00:46:01,880 –> 00:46:06,560
\nIt does desperately, because our
\nyoung people are growing up in <\/p>\n
748
\n00:46:06,560 –> 00:46:09,360
\nan environment that they got to
\nrecognize as terribly evil. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:46:10,640 –> 00:46:12,800
\nAnd mostly we’re victims of our
\nenvironment. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:46:14,560 –> 00:46:18,480
\nThings that we permit today, we
\nwould never have permitted 1015 <\/p>\n
751
\n00:46:18,480 –> 00:46:22,480
\nyears ago.
\nStandards that we recognise <\/p>\n
752
\n00:46:22,480 –> 00:46:24,280
\nthen, we no longer recognise
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
753
\n00:46:24,280 –> 00:46:29,440
\nWhy?
\nConditions that we were familiar<\/p>\n
754
\n00:46:29,440 –> 00:46:33,880
\nwith then?
\nNo longer conditions today when <\/p>\n
755
\n00:46:33,880 –> 00:46:37,080
\nI went to school years and years
\nand years ago when. <\/p>\n
756
\n00:46:37,080 –> 00:46:39,920
\nI went to school.
\nAt some time past the centuries <\/p>\n
757
\n00:46:40,200 –> 00:46:44,320
\nwhen I went to school, my
\nteacher was a big man and a <\/p>\n
758
\n00:46:44,320 –> 00:46:47,720
\npowerful man.
\nI will remember as a schoolboy <\/p>\n
759
\n00:46:47,720 –> 00:46:49,840
\ngoing into that classroom and he
\naddresses us. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:46:49,840 –> 00:46:53,160
\nHe stood up before us and he
\nsays I am here actually as your <\/p>\n
761
\n00:46:53,160 –> 00:46:57,080
\nschool teacher number one, I’ve
\ngot a drum into your thick <\/p>\n
762
\n00:46:57,080 –> 00:46:58,960
\nheads.
\nHe wasn’t a very polite man. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:46:59,280 –> 00:47:02,520
\nDrum into your thick head.
\nSomething concerning mathematics<\/p>\n
764
\n00:47:02,520 –> 00:47:08,400
\nand so forth and so on.
\nBut he says my main job is to <\/p>\n
765
\n00:47:08,400 –> 00:47:10,440
\nmake of you good citizens of the
\nstate. <\/p>\n
766
\n00:47:12,160 –> 00:47:14,440
\nNow he says not in the
\ncurriculum, but every day we’re <\/p>\n
767
\n00:47:14,440 –> 00:47:16,320
\ngoing to look at the parable of
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n
768
\n00:47:18,080 –> 00:47:21,800
\nNo longer is that the case.
\nToday you go to school. <\/p>\n
769
\n00:47:21,800 –> 00:47:24,640
\nI understand.
\nWell, I went to school once to <\/p>\n
770
\n00:47:24,640 –> 00:47:26,200
\nmeet my daughter and she just
\nwalked out. <\/p>\n
771
\n00:47:26,200 –> 00:47:28,160
\nI would never be permitted to do
\nthat. <\/p>\n
772
\n00:47:28,760 –> 00:47:30,480
\nI had to put up my.
\nHand if I wanted to leave the <\/p>\n
773
\n00:47:30,480 –> 00:47:32,000
\nroom and.
\nThen try to wait until recess <\/p>\n
774
\n00:47:32,000 –> 00:47:34,640
\ntime.
\nBut be that as it may, value <\/p>\n
775
\n00:47:34,640 –> 00:47:37,520
\nwhat they like.
\nAnd he I said, can you do that? <\/p>\n
776
\n00:47:37,920 –> 00:47:39,680
\nOh yeah, she said.
\nBert doesn’t mind. <\/p>\n
777
\n00:47:39,720 –> 00:47:41,040
\nHe’s Bert.
\nHe’s the teacher. <\/p>\n
778
\n00:47:41,600 –> 00:47:43,720
\nAll right.
\nSo it was a little bit out of my<\/p>\n
779
\n00:47:43,720 –> 00:47:46,680
\nrealm, you see.
\nBut you see, we are permitting <\/p>\n
780
\n00:47:46,680 –> 00:47:49,720
\nthings today and standards are
\nfallen and we’re victims of our <\/p>\n
781
\n00:47:49,720 –> 00:47:51,520
\nenvironment.
\nDon’t worry about that. <\/p>\n
782
\n00:47:51,760 –> 00:47:55,680
\nI’m a victim of the environment.
\nI recognise that in myself. <\/p>\n
783
\n00:47:55,680 –> 00:47:58,000
\nI see it and recognise it.
\nIt cleans you. <\/p>\n
784
\n00:47:58,000 –> 00:48:01,640
\nIt worries me desperately.
\nIt does truly because I see <\/p>\n
785
\n00:48:01,640 –> 00:48:04,320
\nthese young people growing up
\nand I know that that environment<\/p>\n
786
\n00:48:04,320 –> 00:48:08,600
\ncan adversely affect them.
\nAnd I do believe too, which I <\/p>\n
787
\n00:48:08,600 –> 00:48:11,080
\nwon’t ever got time to tell you
\nnow, but I will try to tell you <\/p>\n
788
\n00:48:11,080 –> 00:48:15,120
\ntomorrow that we what must be
\ndone in order to correct this. <\/p>\n
789
\n00:48:15,760 –> 00:48:18,720
\nBut that environment was there
\nand he had this permissiveness <\/p>\n
790
\n00:48:18,720 –> 00:48:21,640
\nand he took these two wives.
\nThe name of the one was Ada, and<\/p>\n
791
\n00:48:21,640 –> 00:48:25,520
\nthe name of the other was Zilla.
\nNow Ada means adorned, adorned. <\/p>\n
792
\n00:48:25,680 –> 00:48:27,400
\nShe was noted for her beauty,
\nyou see. <\/p>\n
793
\n00:48:27,680 –> 00:48:31,840
\nBut Zilla, she means shade, and
\nit means one that hovers over <\/p>\n
794
\n00:48:31,840 –> 00:48:34,080
\nanother, you know, to provide
\ncomfort. <\/p>\n
795
\n00:48:34,360 –> 00:48:37,400
\nSo here was this man Lamech,
\nbreaking down the principles <\/p>\n
796
\n00:48:37,400 –> 00:48:40,120
\nthat existed until then,
\nindulging in a sense of <\/p>\n
797
\n00:48:40,120 –> 00:48:43,280
\npermissiveness, taking to
\nhimself 2 wives and having the <\/p>\n
798
\n00:48:43,280 –> 00:48:46,360
\nbest of both worlds.
\nFor one was for a beauty and the<\/p>\n
799
\n00:48:46,360 –> 00:48:49,800
\nother was noted for his comfort.
\nSo you see, in that regard, he <\/p>\n
800
\n00:48:49,800 –> 00:48:52,600
\nfelt that he was doing something
\nthat would please blame that. <\/p>\n
801
\n00:48:53,160 –> 00:48:55,760
\nAnd that’s all that worried him.
\nNow we must leave it there <\/p>\n
802
\n00:48:55,760 –> 00:48:59,160
\nbecause our time has gone.
\nAnd normally when a chairman <\/p>\n
803
\n00:48:59,160 –> 00:49:01,680
\ngets off the platform when I’m
\nspeaking, it’s a very, very <\/p>\n
804
\n00:49:01,680 –> 00:49:04,760
\ndangerous thing for him to do.
\nBut I, I’m going to sit down <\/p>\n
805
\n00:49:04,760 –> 00:49:06,200
