Class 3 from this series was used in GCT Episode 364.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:05,280 –> 00:00:07,320
\nthereof.
\nNow that’s a marvellous <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:07,320 –> 00:00:10,960
\nstatement, isn’t it?
\nThat was David’s mental <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:10,960 –> 00:00:16,840
\npreoccupation.
\nMy mouth shall show forth thy <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:16,840 –> 00:00:20,160
\nrighteousness and thy salvation
\nall the day. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:21,680 –> 00:00:24,560
\nThat’s what ran through his mind
\nall the time. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:24,840 –> 00:00:31,360
\nVerse 24 My tongue also shall
\ntalk of thy righteousness all <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:31,360 –> 00:00:35,280
\nthe day.
\nThe Lord Jesus tells us that out<\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:35,280 –> 00:00:40,040
\nof the abundance of the heart
\nthe mouth speaketh. <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:42,440 –> 00:00:46,320
\nAnd if this is David in his old
\nage, as we indicated the other <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:46,320 –> 00:00:49,320
\nday, do you remember verse 17
\nand 18? <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:50,240 –> 00:00:54,400
\nO God, Thou has taught me from
\nmy youth and hitherto have I <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:54,400 –> 00:00:59,720
\ndeclared Thy wondrous works.
\nNow also when I’m old and grey <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:59,720 –> 00:01:02,320
\nheaded, oh God forsake me.
\nNot so. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:02,320 –> 00:01:05,720
\nIt’s a it’s a Psalm of David’s
\nold age, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:07,480 –> 00:01:09,480
\nI say it’s a Psalm of David’s
\nold age. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:09,480 –> 00:01:11,920
\nAnd you might say, well did
\nDavid write this Psalm? <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:12,960 –> 00:01:17,360
\nWell, you’ll notice that it’s
\nalongside Psalm 70 and Psalm 70 <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:17,360 –> 00:01:20,720
\nis a Psalm of David.
\nIt says that to the chief <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:20,720 –> 00:01:26,280
\nmusician a Psalm of David is the
\nheading to Psalm 70, and Psalms <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:26,280 –> 00:01:31,680
\n70 and 71 are clearly the one
\nand Psalm together in effect. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:31,680 –> 00:01:37,720
\nBecause verses 1 and 2 of Psalm
\n70 Make haste to God to deliver <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:37,720 –> 00:01:41,280
\nme, Make haste to help me, O
\nLord, let them be ashamed and <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:41,280 –> 00:01:45,440
\nconfounded.
\nIs the same as verses 12 and 13 <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:45,440 –> 00:01:48,920
\nof Psalm 71.
\nO God, be not far from me. <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:48,920 –> 00:01:50,720
\nO my God, make haste for my
\nhelp. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:50,720 –> 00:01:54,440
\nLet them be confounded and
\nconsumed that are adversaries to<\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:54,440 –> 00:01:55,960
\nmy soul.
\nLet them be covered with <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:55,960 –> 00:01:57,680
\nreproach and dishonour that seek
\nmy hurt. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:57,920 –> 00:02:01,440
\nThat’s the same.
\nThat’s verses 1 and 2 of Psalm <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:01,440 –> 00:02:03,360
\n70.
\nAs a matter of fact, Psalm 71 <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:03,560 –> 00:02:08,320
\nends on the same note as well.
\nVerse 24 the last half for they <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:08,320 –> 00:02:12,960
\nare confounded will they have
\nbrought unto shame that seek my <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:12,960 –> 00:02:17,240
\nhurt.
\nSo there’s a a refrain that is <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:17,240 –> 00:02:19,360
\nrunning through these two
\nPsalms. <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:19,840 –> 00:02:25,600
\nVerses 1 and 2 of Psalm 70 then
\nset the the refrain which joins <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:25,600 –> 00:02:28,760
\ntogether these two Psalms.
\nAnd so we can write rightly say <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:29,360 –> 00:02:35,640
\nthat if Psalm 70 is of David,
\nthen Psalm 71 also is of David. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:38,000 –> 00:02:42,320
\nAnd it’s right, too, that it’s
\nfound here, because if we turn <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:42,320 –> 00:02:50,320
\nover to Psalm 72, it tells us
\nthis also is a Psalm of David’s <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:50,800 –> 00:02:54,600
\ngrowing years.
\nIn Psalms 72 and verse 20, it <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:54,600 –> 00:02:59,560
\nsays that the prayers of David,
\nthe son of Jesse, are ended. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:01,160 –> 00:03:03,600
\nThat’s his final note, as it
\nwere, in praying. <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:04,000 –> 00:03:07,120
\nSo what we actually have here
\nvery beautifully is a little <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:07,120 –> 00:03:09,200
\ngroup of psalms of David’s old
\nage. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:09,880 –> 00:03:13,280
\nI think 69 is the same, but
\nwe’ll explain it in a moment. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:13,760 –> 00:03:19,600
\nBut 7071 and 72 are peculiarly
\nrelated to this area of his life<\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:19,600 –> 00:03:25,440
\nthat we’ve been looking at.
\nSo if this was what David wrote <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:26,360 –> 00:03:34,040
\nin verse 15 and in verse 24, and
\nwe remember what God said of him<\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:34,040 –> 00:03:43,240
\nin the very beginning, I have
\nfound David a man after mine own<\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:43,480 –> 00:03:48,800
\nheart.
\nWe are privileged to see that <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:48,800 –> 00:03:53,680
\nthat man has not changed his
\nmind from his early days to his <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:53,680 –> 00:03:56,680
\nlast start.
\nWhat a beautiful thing that is, <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:57,760 –> 00:04:02,520
\nisn’t it easily said of David in
\nverse 15, If of his youth, My <\/p>\n
55
\n00:04:02,520 –> 00:04:06,480
\nmouth shall show forth thy
\nrighteousness and thy salvation <\/p>\n
56
\n00:04:06,600 –> 00:04:12,040
\nall the day, my mouth also shall
\ntalk of thy righteousness. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:04:13,200 –> 00:04:16,040
\nThat’s the thing he loved wasn’t
\nin meditated, he says. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:16,360 –> 00:04:18,480
\nIn the law of God, day and
\nnight. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:19,079 –> 00:04:24,600
\nIt’s the same man, isn’t it, in
\nhis last few days or years. <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:25,400 –> 00:04:26,920
\nThat’s a very wonderful thing,
\nmy dear. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:26,920 –> 00:04:31,880
\nAnd sisters, as you go through
\nlife with its ups and downs, you<\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:31,880 –> 00:04:33,960
\nrealize that’s not an easy
\nthing, is it? <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:34,800 –> 00:04:38,360
\nAs life goes along, you find in
\nfact, that all sorts of things <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:38,360 –> 00:04:41,080
\nhappen to you and they they
\nhappen to those with whom you <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:41,080 –> 00:04:44,360
\ntravel in the truth.
\nAnd we all have our ups and our <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:44,360 –> 00:04:47,880
\ndowns.
\nDavid had his ups and downs too,<\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:48,400 –> 00:04:51,520
\nwithout a doubt.
\nBut it’s a beautiful statement, <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:51,520 –> 00:04:54,480
\nisn’t it, That if at the end it
\ncould be said that we were the <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:54,480 –> 00:05:01,080
\nsame person with the same mind,
\ndespite the ups and downs, as we<\/p>\n
70
\n00:05:01,080 –> 00:05:04,520
\nwere in our youth, as we were in
\nour later years. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:05:05,280 –> 00:05:09,840
\nAnd so that’s a very beautiful
\ninsight into the into the <\/p>\n
72
\n00:05:09,840 –> 00:05:13,080
\noverall life of David, that it’s
\nreally the same boy that was <\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:13,080 –> 00:05:17,480
\nsitting there by the sheep, the
\nlittle still waters as he <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:17,480 –> 00:05:22,400
\ndescribes them, mining his sheep
\nin such obscure, quiet little <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:22,400 –> 00:05:25,400
\ncircumstances.
\nBut his mind was toward God. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:26,120 –> 00:05:29,440
\nAbsolutely.
\nThe Lord is my shepherd was his <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:29,440 –> 00:05:31,880
\nenvironment.
\nAs he looked over those sheep, <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:31,880 –> 00:05:34,840
\nhe saw God was looking over him
\nin every aspect of life. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:35,640 –> 00:05:38,960
\nDavid saw the God of Israel and
\nsaw that God was with him. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:39,080 –> 00:05:42,400
\nThe circumstances of his life
\nexactly the same at the end. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:43,400 –> 00:05:48,520
\nFame, fortune, a name that
\nspread upon many nations, has <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:48,520 –> 00:05:52,280
\nnot changed his individual
\nattitude toward God. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:52,280 –> 00:05:54,720
\nIt’s a very beautiful statement.
\nOh, that. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:54,720 –> 00:05:58,200
\nThat was how it might be said of
\nall of us. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:59,760 –> 00:06:02,640
\nThe king, the leader of the
\nnation, was still the same <\/p>\n
86
\n00:06:02,960 –> 00:06:08,560
\nindividual person.
\nI’d like just to make a few <\/p>\n
87
\n00:06:08,560 –> 00:06:11,880
\ncomments upon this Psalm before
\nwe go back to reading and <\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:11,880 –> 00:06:15,320
\nChronicles bring it forward.
\nBut did you notice actually some<\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:15,320 –> 00:06:17,880
\nof the emphasis, emphasis of
\nthis Psalm? <\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:19,120 –> 00:06:25,160
\nThe phrase that keeps repeating
\nis the righteousness of God in <\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:25,160 –> 00:06:30,920
\nthee, O Lord, do I put my trust.
\nLet me never be put to <\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:30,920 –> 00:06:35,240
\nconfusion.
\nDeliver me in thy thy <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:35,240 –> 00:06:38,840
\nrighteousness and cause me to
\nescape. <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:38,840 –> 00:06:42,960
\nNow this, as we said the other
\nday, is a very important Psalm <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:42,960 –> 00:06:47,240
\nbecause unquestionably it’s in
\nhis old age and it opens to us a<\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:47,240 –> 00:06:50,520
\nwindow that we wouldn’t
\notherwise have into the <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:50,520 –> 00:06:55,400
\ncircumstances of the palace and
\nof the Kingdom, into the <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:55,400 –> 00:06:57,400
\ncircumstances of his later
\nyears. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:57,760 –> 00:07:02,680
\nHe wasn’t sitting back as a as a
\na king and all his opulence and <\/p>\n
100
\n00:07:02,680 –> 00:07:07,040
\npower and physical strength and
\npiles of gold and silver that he<\/p>\n
101
\n00:07:07,040 –> 00:07:10,560
\nin fact had.
\nHe wasn’t sitting back there <\/p>\n
102
\n00:07:10,560 –> 00:07:13,200
\nwith all of his servants sit and
\nhit his back and call. <\/p>\n
103
\n00:07:14,200 –> 00:07:18,560
\nHe was a very ill man.
\nRemember the circumstances of <\/p>\n
104
\n00:07:18,560 –> 00:07:21,080
\nAbishai.
\nThat’s it’s a unique thing. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:22,200 –> 00:07:26,960
\nAnd in that inability to be able
\nto take control of the of the <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:26,960 –> 00:07:33,080
\nempires really was others then
\nhad come in to sort of say right<\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:33,080 –> 00:07:35,520
\nhe’s getting what he he he duly
\ndeserved. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:35,520 –> 00:07:40,160
\nGod is now calling coming in
\nupon him and they were sitting <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:40,160 –> 00:07:43,760
\nambush really about him in the
\nvery palace itself. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:44,760 –> 00:07:48,560
\nAnd so there isn’t these verses
\na most amazing insight. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:48,560 –> 00:07:53,560
\nLook at verse 2 caused me to
\nescape, Incline thine ear unto <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:53,560 –> 00:07:58,240
\nme and save me.
\nBe thou my strong habitation, <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:59,120 –> 00:08:03,040
\nwhere until I may continually
\nresort that has given <\/p>\n
114
\n00:08:03,040 –> 00:08:06,920
\ncommandment to save me, for Thou
\nart my rock and my fortress. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:08:07,480 –> 00:08:09,400
\nThey are the words of a man in
\ndesperate life. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:08:10,680 –> 00:08:13,960
\nWhat a man sitting back in, in
\nall the fortunes of life that <\/p>\n
117
\n00:08:13,960 –> 00:08:16,880
\nfloat upon them.
\nDeliver me, Oh my God, out of <\/p>\n
118
\n00:08:16,880 –> 00:08:20,240
\nthe hand of the wicked, out of
\nthe hand of the unrighteous and <\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:20,240 –> 00:08:24,400
\ncruel man.
\nJoab must surely have been in <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:24,400 –> 00:08:28,000
\nhis thoughts then, the
\nunrighteous and cruel man. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:29,680 –> 00:08:35,200
\nBut thou art my hope, O Lord
\nYahweh, Thou art my trust from <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:35,200 –> 00:08:37,400
\nmy youth.
\nIt’s two statements about his <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:37,400 –> 00:08:40,799
\nyouth in this Psalm.
\nThat’s one in verse 5, and we <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:40,799 –> 00:08:42,760
\nhad it also in verse 17.
\nJust note. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:43,320 –> 00:08:46,360
\nInteresting, isn’t it?
\nSo this is a very reflective <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:46,360 –> 00:08:50,360
\nPsalm, a beautiful Psalm, one of
\nthe most beautiful psalms that <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:50,360 –> 00:08:53,440
\nDavid ever wrote, and it’s
\ncoming from this era of his <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:53,440 –> 00:08:57,280
\nlife.
\nI suggest as the, as the period <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:57,280 –> 00:09:01,520
\nof Adonitus usurpation was, was
\ngrowing and the intrigue was <\/p>\n
130
\n00:09:01,520 –> 00:09:05,240
\ndeveloping around him, the net
\nwas being cast and there he was <\/p>\n
131
\n00:09:05,240 –> 00:09:08,440
\nin all of his ineptitude
\nphysically and and it just <\/p>\n
132
\n00:09:08,440 –> 00:09:11,440
\nseemed that this now was the
\ntime to move in and, and snap <\/p>\n
133
\n00:09:11,440 –> 00:09:14,640
\noff his life.
\nAnd David knows all that’s <\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:14,640 –> 00:09:19,160
\nhappening and he knows he can’t
\nphysically overcome that. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:20,000 –> 00:09:21,600
\nHe’s looking back over all of
\nhis life. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:21,600 –> 00:09:23,560
\nLook at verse 6.
\nWhat a beautiful statement. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:23,720 –> 00:09:26,400
\nBy thee have I been holding up
\nfrom the womb. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:26,400 –> 00:09:30,480
\nThat was true.
\nIt wasn’t the fluke that came <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:30,480 –> 00:09:33,760
\nupon Israel.
\nIt was by the hand of God that <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:33,920 –> 00:09:38,640
\nthat they had this exceptionally
\nwonderful man in the obscurity <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:38,640 –> 00:09:42,200
\nof little Bethlehem, least among
\nthe thousands of Judah, in the <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:42,200 –> 00:09:47,920
\nquietness of the hills for the
\nfew sheep with that <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:47,920 –> 00:09:51,760
\ninsignificant family of Jesse,
\nand the last of that family of <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:51,760 –> 00:09:56,080
\neight sons by thee that I’ve
\nbeen holding up from the womb. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:57,160 –> 00:10:00,040
\nThou art He that took me out of
\nmy mother’s vows. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:10:03,200 –> 00:10:08,960
\nWhat more tender expression and
\nhe felt that God had been within<\/p>\n
147
\n00:10:08,960 –> 00:10:13,720
\nme all of his life.
\nMy praise shall be continually <\/p>\n
148
\n00:10:13,720 –> 00:10:15,800
\nof Thee.
\nDo you notice the reiteration of<\/p>\n
149
\n00:10:15,800 –> 00:10:19,200
\nthe word continuum?
\nIt was there in verse 3. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:20,720 –> 00:10:23,480
\nIt’s effectively there again in
\nverse 15. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:23,600 –> 00:10:27,640
\nAll the day.
\nAnd it’s there at the end of the<\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:27,640 –> 00:10:30,800
\nPsalm.
\nMy tongue also shall talk of thy<\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:30,800 –> 00:10:35,280
\nrighteousness all the day.
\nThe truth wasn’t a patchy thing <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:35,280 –> 00:10:40,920
\nwhere David wasn’t.
\nIt was his life went all through<\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:40,920 –> 00:10:44,640
\nthe web of his life.
\nSame strain every minute, every <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:44,640 –> 00:10:48,400
\nday, every hour of his life, his
\nthoughts were toward God. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:48,400 –> 00:10:51,600
\nWhat a beautiful thing, my dear
\nwritten sisters, and that at the<\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:51,640 –> 00:10:56,160
\nend of his life he could say
\nthat what a wonderful thing that<\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:56,160 –> 00:10:59,920
\nis.
\nWhat a a wonderful privilege and<\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:59,960 –> 00:11:04,240
\nand blessing it would be that if
\nour last few days of our life we<\/p>\n
161
\n00:11:04,240 –> 00:11:05,880
\nwere able to say that before
\nGod. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:11:06,680 –> 00:11:10,920
\nMy praise you’ll be continually
\nat birth again. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:11:10,920 –> 00:11:13,560
\nHis circumstances are enumerated
\nin verse seven. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:11:13,920 –> 00:11:16,800
\nI am as a wonder unto none unto
\nmany. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:16,800 –> 00:11:20,360
\nWhat does that mean?
\nWell, the next phrase implies <\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:20,360 –> 00:11:23,920
\nthe sense doesn’t.
\nBut thou art my strong refuge. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:24,960 –> 00:11:28,560
\nIn other words, to other people
\nit looked like he was finished <\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:29,400 –> 00:11:37,240
\nold, decrepit in obscurity.
\nHe’s finished and they’re just <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:37,240 –> 00:11:41,080
\nwaiting for him to go.
\nBut he says, But Thou art my <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:41,080 –> 00:11:46,880
\nstrong refuge, let my mouth be
\nfilled with Thy praise and with <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:46,880 –> 00:11:49,600
\nThy honour all the day.
\nCast me not off in the time of <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:49,600 –> 00:11:52,160
\nold age.
\nForsake me not when my strength <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:52,160 –> 00:11:55,360
\nfaileth for mine.
\nEnemies speak against me. <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:56,360 –> 00:11:59,640
\nThey that lay wait for my soul.
\nTake counsel together, saying <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:59,640 –> 00:12:03,080
\nGod had forsaken him lust, it’s
\ncoming upon him what he <\/p>\n
176
\n00:12:03,080 –> 00:12:06,600
\ndeserved.
\nRemember Uriah, Remember <\/p>\n
177
\n00:12:06,600 –> 00:12:11,200
\nBathsheba, God had forsaken him
\nand persecute him and take him <\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:11,440 –> 00:12:16,280
\nor there is none to deliver him.
\nNow that was a very, very <\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:16,280 –> 00:12:18,880
\nimportant Psalm really isn’t it?
\nTo put at the end of his life <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:19,200 –> 00:12:22,440
\nthat opens it up like nothing
\nelse does helps us to see what <\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:22,440 –> 00:12:24,840
\nhappened in the case of Adonis.
\nYou could never see it <\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:24,840 –> 00:12:27,880
\notherwise, could you?
\nAdonis records just sort of pops<\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:27,880 –> 00:12:30,200
\nup out of the record.
\nYou think, oh, didn’t expect <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:30,200 –> 00:12:34,920
\nthat, but this psalmist filling
\nit out and saying that those <\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:35,480 –> 00:12:38,600
\nthose are politically minded and
\ntreacherous people like Jeb <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:38,600 –> 00:12:40,880
\nwere, were numerous within that
\nrealm. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:40,880 –> 00:12:48,000
\nAnd that’s no doubt why that
\nnumbering of Israel was moved by<\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:48,000 –> 00:12:51,760
\nGod, that he might take that out
\nof the nation before the new era<\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:51,800 –> 00:12:54,280
\nshould come.
\nSo it was just in that last <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:54,280 –> 00:12:57,560
\nsingle period of how many years,
\nI don’t know, 2-3, three or four<\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:57,560 –> 00:13:01,960
\nyears that David had to prepare
\nfor the temple and to prepare <\/p>\n
192
\n00:13:01,960 –> 00:13:03,800
\nthe ground for Solomon to come
\nthrough. <\/p>\n
193
\n00:13:04,920 –> 00:13:09,240
\nIt may have been less than that.
\nSo this is a very helpful Psalm <\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:09,240 –> 00:13:14,280
\nindeed.
\nThe other thing that in fact <\/p>\n
195
\n00:13:14,280 –> 00:13:17,240
\nI’ve got off the track because I
\nwas mentioning, wasn’t I the <\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:17,240 –> 00:13:21,480
\nrighteousness of God?
\nAnd it was in verse 2 that we <\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:21,480 –> 00:13:27,720
\nfound at first.
\nIt’s again in verse 15, God’s <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:27,760 –> 00:13:32,600
\nrighteousness.
\nIt’s in verse 16, I will make <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:32,600 –> 00:13:36,040
\nmention of Thy righteousness.
\nThere’s no other Psalm that so <\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:36,040 –> 00:13:38,840
\nemphasizes that.
\nIt’s again in verse 19, Thy <\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:38,840 –> 00:13:43,360
\nrighteousness also, oh, God is
\nvery high. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:44,520 –> 00:13:48,400
\nAnd it’s again in verse 24 in
\nthe final note, my tongue also <\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:48,400 –> 00:13:50,920
\nshall talk of Thy righteousness
\nall the time. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:51,240 –> 00:13:53,320
\nNow that’s a very important
\nemphasis. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:53,840 –> 00:14:00,320
\nAnd isn’t that like an older
\nman, David my earlier has spoken<\/p>\n
206
\n00:14:00,320 –> 00:14:04,840
\nabout his righteousness.
\nIn fact he did in Psalm 18 when <\/p>\n
207
\n00:14:04,840 –> 00:14:09,440
\nhe was in the full swing of his
\nhis delight in God’s ways. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:14:09,440 –> 00:14:13,720
\nHe he wrote this Psalm 18, verse
\n20. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:18,800 –> 00:14:25,240
\nThe Lord rewarded me according
\nto my righteousness, according <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:25,240 –> 00:14:28,320
\nto the cleanness of my hands.
\nHath he recompense me? <\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:29,600 –> 00:14:33,320
\nHe can’t say that anymore, can
\nhe? <\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:33,320 –> 00:14:34,960
\nHe could never write those words
\nagain. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:35,920 –> 00:14:37,880
\nHe could walk.
\nHe could write about God’s <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:37,880 –> 00:14:42,440
\nrighteousness. 24 Therefore hath
\nthe Lord recomvinced me <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:42,440 –> 00:14:47,640
\naccording to my righteousness,
\naccording to my righteousness, <\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:47,640 –> 00:14:51,960
\naccording to the cleanness of my
\nhands in his eyesight, Or verse <\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:51,960 –> 00:14:54,280
\n21, I’ve kept the way to the
\nLord, and have not departed <\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:54,280 –> 00:14:58,080
\nwickedly from them.
\nHe can’t say that now because <\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:58,080 –> 00:14:59,960
\nthere was a time in his life
\nwhen that wasn’t true. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:15:01,280 –> 00:15:04,080
\nSo it’s an interesting thing to
\ncompare the early Psalm with the<\/p>\n
221
\n00:15:04,080 –> 00:15:07,880
\nlater Psalm in his life.
\nAnd this one is full of the <\/p>\n
222
\n00:15:07,880 –> 00:15:12,240
\nstatement of the righteousness
\nof God, beautiful things, a real<\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:12,240 –> 00:15:18,600
\ninsight into his life.
\nAt the end of that Psalm, <\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:19,000 –> 00:15:22,400
\nthere’s probably the clearest
\nstatement made by David about <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:22,400 –> 00:15:26,080
\nresurrection, and that in itself
\nis a treasure in this Psalm. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:26,400 –> 00:15:31,520
\nVerse 19.
\nThy righteousness also, oh God, <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:31,520 –> 00:15:36,120
\nis very high.
\nWe can’t contaminate that. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:37,400 –> 00:15:40,240
\nMan may come and man may go and
\nhe may sin them. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:40,720 –> 00:15:45,040
\nTragedy come, but God’s
\nrighteousness is very high. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:46,520 –> 00:15:51,520
\nAnd if our trust therefore is in
\nHim, it is in a safe place. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:52,160 –> 00:15:56,320
\nWho has done great things, Oh
\nGod, who is like unto thee? <\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:57,960 –> 00:16:01,480
\nAnd in the comfort of that
\nrighteousness of God, that <\/p>\n
233
\n00:16:01,480 –> 00:16:08,720
\nirreproachable righteousness of
\nGod, he says, thou which has <\/p>\n
234
\n00:16:08,720 –> 00:16:15,840
\nshowed me great and sore
\ntroubles, shall quicken me <\/p>\n
235
\n00:16:15,840 –> 00:16:20,240
\nagain, and shalt bring me up
\nagain from the depths of the <\/p>\n
236
\n00:16:20,240 –> 00:16:24,600
\nearth.
\nThou shalt increase my grapes, <\/p>\n
237
\n00:16:25,800 –> 00:16:29,040
\ncomfort me on every side.
\nAren’t they beautiful words, my <\/p>\n
238
\n00:16:29,040 –> 00:16:32,960
\ndear room, sisters, you think of
\nDavid’s life behind those words,<\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:33,280 –> 00:16:35,840
\nThou which has showed me great
\nand sorter. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:37,600 –> 00:16:41,400
\nHow did he Face the Nation after
\nhis event with Bathsheba? <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:42,560 –> 00:16:44,960
\nHow did he grieve when he
\nthought of what he did to Uriah?<\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:46,320 –> 00:16:47,680
\nAnd yet he he bore that, didn’t
\nhe? <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:47,680 –> 00:16:49,640
\nBore it publicly?
\nAnd when he put a list of the <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:49,640 –> 00:16:52,880
\nnames of his mighty men, there
\nwas Uriah at the time. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:53,040 –> 00:16:58,120
\nWhat I mean, OK, struggled with
\njoy and have a shame. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:59,720 –> 00:17:02,720
\nLook how I’d been out in the
\nexile for all those years, <\/p>\n
247
\n00:17:02,720 –> 00:17:06,359
\nwandering around like a bird in
\nthe mountains as he described <\/p>\n
248
\n00:17:06,359 –> 00:17:10,359
\nit’s Saul as a flea.
\nThe king of Israel was was <\/p>\n
249
\n00:17:10,359 –> 00:17:12,599
\nseeking him as a as a flea upon
\nthe mountain. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:17:13,839 –> 00:17:18,720
\nGreat and sore troubles for all
\nthe shame that came upon him. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:17:18,720 –> 00:17:23,760
\nThe loss of the child Bathsheba
\nby his side, and another child <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:23,760 –> 00:17:29,080
\nborn, and all the whispers and
\nthe loss of Absalom nor Amnon. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:29,080 –> 00:17:32,920
\nFirst, in the King’s own family
\nthere was insurrection, <\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:34,360 –> 00:17:37,760
\nfratricide.
\nThe Scat family was scattered. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:39,160 –> 00:17:41,560
\nThen Absalom revolted against
\nhis own father. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:41,680 –> 00:17:43,880
\nWhat a shame.
\nCould you imagine a great issue?<\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:47,720 –> 00:17:54,040
\nAnd then there was a Dodger only
\nso recent thou, which has showed<\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:54,040 –> 00:18:00,600
\nme brave and sore thoughts,
\nshall quicken me again, and <\/p>\n
259
\n00:18:00,600 –> 00:18:02,400
\nshall bring me again from the
\ndepths of the earth. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:18:03,080 –> 00:18:04,920
\nBeautiful things might even.
\nIsn’t that that? <\/p>\n
261
\n00:18:05,280 –> 00:18:07,880
\nIsn’t that our hope?
\nIt’s absolutely our hope, Isn’t <\/p>\n
262
\n00:18:07,880 –> 00:18:10,960
\nit?
\nThat no matter what came upon <\/p>\n
263
\n00:18:10,960 –> 00:18:14,400
\nhim, his, his hope now was not
\nupon the cleanness of his own <\/p>\n
264
\n00:18:14,400 –> 00:18:18,120
\nhands, but was upon the
\nrighteousness of God that was <\/p>\n
265
\n00:18:18,160 –> 00:18:22,720
\nirreproachable and very hard.
\nAnd on that hope he knew that <\/p>\n
266
\n00:18:22,720 –> 00:18:26,160
\nGod would be able to take him in
\ndue time from the bowels of the <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:26,160 –> 00:18:28,320
\nearth and increase his
\nblackness. <\/p>\n
268
\n00:18:28,320 –> 00:18:34,080
\nVerse 21 in immortality, and
\ncomfort him on every side. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:34,880 –> 00:18:37,840
\nAnd there he was, an old and
\ndecrepit man, cold. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:38,600 –> 00:18:44,440
\nHis bones creeped when he moved.
\nIt’s set by many enemies out <\/p>\n
271
\n00:18:44,440 –> 00:18:48,080
\nthere.
\nBut now, despite a King’s wealth<\/p>\n
272
\n00:18:48,080 –> 00:18:51,560
\nand a King’s power and the the
\ngreat name that he had in all <\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:51,560 –> 00:18:56,320
\nthe Middle East is hope rested
\nnot in those things, but in the <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:56,320 –> 00:18:58,400
\nrighteousness of God.
\nYou know, there’s some of the <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:58,400 –> 00:19:01,200
\nmost beautiful things you could
\nthink about, aren’t they, as far<\/p>\n
276
\n00:19:01,200 –> 00:19:04,560
\nas David is concerned and just
\nshows us what a a truly <\/p>\n
277
\n00:19:04,560 –> 00:19:09,240
\nremarkable person he was that
\nthese thoughts were his thoughts<\/p>\n
278
\n00:19:09,240 –> 00:19:14,160
\nat that time.
\nAnd so out of that, he then set <\/p>\n
279
\n00:19:14,160 –> 00:19:18,560
\nto work in the chapters that we
\nhave read from First Chronicles <\/p>\n
280
\n00:19:18,560 –> 00:19:25,920
\n2221 through to Chapter 29.
\nAnd he set his heart, didn’t he,<\/p>\n
281
\n00:19:26,160 –> 00:19:30,840
\nhis latter years in that spirit,
\ntowards the great work of <\/p>\n
282
\n00:19:30,840 –> 00:19:35,280
\nleaving that that Kingdom in a
\ngood position that when his son <\/p>\n
283
\n00:19:35,280 –> 00:19:39,440
\nshould come along, it would be
\nable to take on the reigns. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:19:40,200 –> 00:19:46,760
\nI want to come to Chapter 28
\nbecause Sir, the organization <\/p>\n
285
\n00:19:46,760 –> 00:19:53,400
\nhas been accomplished, the
\nrenewing, the reinvigorating of <\/p>\n
286
\n00:19:53,400 –> 00:19:58,320
\nthe empire, as I call it the the
\ngreat Kingdom with all of its <\/p>\n
287
\n00:19:58,640 –> 00:20:01,160
\ndominions has been
\nreinvigorated. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:20:02,000 –> 00:20:04,880
\nThen chapter 28, Then in verse
\none, we have one of the longest <\/p>\n
289
\n00:20:04,880 –> 00:20:10,680
\nverses in the Bible.
\nDavid assembled all the Princess<\/p>\n
290
\n00:20:10,680 –> 00:20:13,000
\nof Israel, the Princess of the
\ntribes. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:20:14,320 –> 00:20:17,400
\nAnd the Princess of the
\ncompanies that ministered, the <\/p>\n
292
\n00:20:17,400 –> 00:20:21,880
\nking by course, and the Princess
\nover the thousands, and the <\/p>\n
293
\n00:20:21,880 –> 00:20:25,080
\nPrincess over the hundreds, and
\nthe Princess over all the <\/p>\n
294
\n00:20:25,080 –> 00:20:28,240
\nsubstance and possession of the
\nking and of his sons, were the <\/p>\n
295
\n00:20:28,680 –> 00:20:30,800
\nPrincess, and were the mighty
\nmen. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:20:31,600 –> 00:20:33,480
\nAnd with all the valiant men
\nunto Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:20:33,480 –> 00:20:35,240
\nCan you imagine all that coming
\ninto Jerusalem? <\/p>\n
298
\n00:20:36,760 –> 00:20:40,800
\nAs big as whatever this assembly
\nmight have been, they were all <\/p>\n
299
\n00:20:40,800 –> 00:20:44,520
\ngreat men of a great empire that
\nhad been established under him. <\/p>\n
300
\n00:20:45,680 –> 00:20:48,360
\nNow you can imagine that was a
\nvery formal thing. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:20:48,440 –> 00:20:51,480
\nIt’s got nothing like the the
\ntime when he quickly anointed, <\/p>\n
302
\n00:20:53,160 –> 00:20:56,440
\nwhen he quickly anointed Solomon
\nin the days of Adonis, nothing <\/p>\n
303
\n00:20:56,440 –> 00:20:59,240
\nlike that at all.
\nThis is a call to all the <\/p>\n
304
\n00:20:59,240 –> 00:21:02,480
\nprincipal people.
\nIt would be a formal invitation <\/p>\n
305
\n00:21:03,080 –> 00:21:07,120
\nand a privileged interpretation
\nto that went out to all the the <\/p>\n
306
\n00:21:07,120 –> 00:21:10,800
\ngreat names in Israel and there
\nwere many as there is in a <\/p>\n
307
\n00:21:10,800 –> 00:21:14,120
\nwealthy and expansive Kingdom.
\nThere are are great names that <\/p>\n
308
\n00:21:14,120 –> 00:21:17,720
\nhave done great things.
\nAnd verse 2, my dear, and it <\/p>\n
309
\n00:21:17,720 –> 00:21:21,120
\nsays it’s hard to read that is
\nit is it not without a tear in <\/p>\n
310
\n00:21:21,120 –> 00:21:25,000
\nyour eye as you think of all of
\nthat background and what we’ve <\/p>\n
311
\n00:21:25,000 –> 00:21:30,200
\nread and his weakness and now
\nhis reorganization and now we’re<\/p>\n
312
\n00:21:30,200 –> 00:21:36,520
\nright up close to his death.
\nIt says obviously with deep <\/p>\n
313
\n00:21:36,520 –> 00:21:44,000
\npathos.
\nThen David the King, David the <\/p>\n
314
\n00:21:44,000 –> 00:21:55,200
\nKing stood up upon his feet, or
\nwhere else Harrods, but it was <\/p>\n
315
\n00:21:55,200 –> 00:22:01,560
\nan Anastasis, was out of the bed
\nof cold and inactivity. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:22:02,840 –> 00:22:09,200
\nHe stood up upon his feet for
\nall that amazing life and <\/p>\n
317
\n00:22:09,200 –> 00:22:14,000
\nspirituality, tame it that had
\ntouched the life of every <\/p>\n
318
\n00:22:14,000 –> 00:22:20,040
\nIsrael, old or young.
\nHe stood up upon his feet, said,<\/p>\n
319
\n00:22:21,600 –> 00:22:31,720
\nHear me, my brethren and my
\npeople, what a what a king, what<\/p>\n
320
\n00:22:31,720 –> 00:22:38,480
\na man, despite all the laurels
\nof the chief, Hear me, my <\/p>\n
321
\n00:22:38,480 –> 00:22:44,320
\nbrethren and my people, the same
\nman isn’t that looked after the <\/p>\n
322
\n00:22:44,320 –> 00:22:45,520
\nsheep?
\nAbsolutely. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:22:46,880 –> 00:22:49,120
\nHe always had himself in right
\nperspective. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:22:51,080 –> 00:22:55,160
\nWhether he was upon the field of
\nbattle or whether he was in the <\/p>\n
325
\n00:22:55,640 –> 00:23:00,240
\nthe throne of his glory or
\nwhether he was in his palace, he<\/p>\n
326
\n00:23:00,240 –> 00:23:05,240
\nnevertheless always kept himself
\nin right perspective and could <\/p>\n
327
\n00:23:05,240 –> 00:23:08,760
\nsay, hear me, my brethren and my
\npeople. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:23:09,920 –> 00:23:13,160
\nHe was fully aware of what God
\nhad done and of all the <\/p>\n
329
\n00:23:13,160 –> 00:23:17,840
\ngreatness that had been brought
\nupon, but he was aware of the <\/p>\n
330
\n00:23:17,840 –> 00:23:20,480
\nfact that he was one of his
\npeople. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:23:21,920 –> 00:23:26,480
\nAs for me and he recounts the
\nhistory so touching this must <\/p>\n
332
\n00:23:26,480 –> 00:23:30,320
\nhave brought must have brought
\ntears flowing from the from the <\/p>\n
333
\n00:23:30,320 –> 00:23:34,280
\nface of all of those men who
\nwere gathered to that ascent as <\/p>\n
334
\n00:23:34,280 –> 00:23:36,640
\nhe recounted these so well known
\nthings. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:23:37,480 –> 00:23:40,640
\nI had in my heart to build a
\nHouse of rest for the art of the<\/p>\n
336
\n00:23:40,640 –> 00:23:46,800
\ncovenant of Yahweh and for the
\nfootstool of our God and it made<\/p>\n
337
\n00:23:46,800 –> 00:23:50,720
\nready for the building.
\nWhat God said unto me is he <\/p>\n
338
\n00:23:50,720 –> 00:23:57,040
\nlifted his his elderly voice.
\nThou shalt not build a house for<\/p>\n
339
\n00:23:57,040 –> 00:24:00,520
\nmy name, because thou has been a
\nman of war and has shed blood. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:24:01,680 –> 00:24:08,440
\nHowbeit, Yahweh, Elohim of
\nIsrael chose me before all the <\/p>\n
341
\n00:24:08,440 –> 00:24:13,040
\nHouse of my father, an Eli.
\nEli was there, wasn’t it? <\/p>\n
342
\n00:24:14,240 –> 00:24:19,360
\nNo longer any resentment
\nAbinadaben Shamir, they were <\/p>\n
343
\n00:24:19,360 –> 00:24:23,000
\nthere too.
\nBut he could say this because it<\/p>\n
344
\n00:24:23,000 –> 00:24:25,000
\nwas.
\nIt was what the Lord God of <\/p>\n
345
\n00:24:25,000 –> 00:24:28,000
\nIsrael did.
\nIt wasn’t David over them. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:24:28,720 –> 00:24:33,160
\nIt was what Yahweh Elohim of
\nIsrael had done, and everybody <\/p>\n
347
\n00:24:33,160 –> 00:24:35,480
\nknew that.
\nAnd it was right that it should <\/p>\n
348
\n00:24:35,480 –> 00:24:37,880
\nbe said because David was going
\nto have a son. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:24:37,880 –> 00:24:41,400
\nAnd they, they all had to be
\nreminded that that was where it <\/p>\n
350
\n00:24:41,400 –> 00:24:45,280
\nshould go because it was an
\nelection of God, not David’s <\/p>\n
351
\n00:24:45,280 –> 00:24:48,920
\nchoice.
\nBut as David, as Samuel had been<\/p>\n
352
\n00:24:48,920 –> 00:24:51,960
\nsent with the horn of oil
\noriginally, so it should go to <\/p>\n
353
\n00:24:51,960 –> 00:24:54,680
\nhis son.
\nAnd he was therefore preserving <\/p>\n
354
\n00:24:54,680 –> 00:24:58,720
\nthe continuity of the elected
\ndynasty that God had made. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:24:59,960 –> 00:25:03,120
\nYou know, beautiful thing,
\npresence of mine didn’t have it <\/p>\n
356
\n00:25:03,120 –> 00:25:08,320
\nclear the right words.
\nHowbeit, the Lord God of Israel <\/p>\n
357
\n00:25:08,320 –> 00:25:12,320
\nchose me before all the House of
\nmy father, to be king over <\/p>\n
358
\n00:25:12,320 –> 00:25:16,040
\nIsrael forever.
\nFor He hath chosen Judah to be <\/p>\n
359
\n00:25:16,040 –> 00:25:20,960
\nthe ruler of the House of Judah,
\nthe House of my father, and <\/p>\n
360
\n00:25:20,960 –> 00:25:25,680
\namong the sons of my father.
\nHe liked me to make me king over<\/p>\n
361
\n00:25:25,680 –> 00:25:32,840
\nall Israel and of all my sons,
\nfor the Lord hath given me many <\/p>\n
362
\n00:25:32,840 –> 00:25:37,720
\nsons.
\nAnd there was deep, deep echoes <\/p>\n
363
\n00:25:37,720 –> 00:25:40,800
\nto those words, wasn’t there?
\nAll kinds of sons. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:25:42,240 –> 00:25:46,360
\nHe hath chosen Solomon thy son,
\nto sit upon the throne of the <\/p>\n
365
\n00:25:46,360 –> 00:25:48,960
\nKingdom of of Yahweh over
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:25:50,600 –> 00:25:53,240
\nNow, you know, in itself, that
\nwas the most amazing thing. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:25:54,080 –> 00:25:56,280
\nIt’s not the sort of choice that
\nyou and I would have made. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:25:56,360 –> 00:25:59,240
\nBesides, Solomon was much
\nyounger than the other boys. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:26:00,320 –> 00:26:02,240
\nIt was like another family
\nreally, wasn’t it? <\/p>\n
370
\n00:26:03,360 –> 00:26:06,200
\nAnd yet he’s emphasizing that it
\nwas God’s choice. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:26:06,200 –> 00:26:08,560
\nWas it God’s choice?
\nIt really was God’s choice. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:26:08,880 –> 00:26:11,760
\nJust keep your hand there and
\ncome back to Second Samuel. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:26:11,760 –> 00:26:19,800
\nHe’s one of the most beautiful
\nverses in our Bible. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:26:20,800 –> 00:26:23,640
\nSecond Samuel chapter 12 and
\nverse 24. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:26:25,760 –> 00:26:31,000
\nYou know that Nathan came in and
\nyou know that Nathan told him <\/p>\n
376
\n00:26:32,040 –> 00:26:36,440
\nthat he had done this thing.
\nHe told him the parable and <\/p>\n
377
\n00:26:36,440 –> 00:26:40,600
\nDavid saw the point.
\nHe enunciated the judge. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:26:40,600 –> 00:26:43,120
\nBut Nathan said, Thou art the
\nman. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:26:45,040 –> 00:26:49,960
\nAnd David’s only response to
\nthat was, I have sinned against <\/p>\n
380
\n00:26:49,960 –> 00:26:53,160
\nYahweh.
\nRest 30 And immediately, <\/p>\n
381
\n00:26:53,960 –> 00:26:58,560
\nimmediately the next words no
\nhuman being can understand this <\/p>\n
382
\n00:26:59,280 –> 00:27:04,040
\nNathan said unto David, Yahweh
\nalso has put away thy sin, thou <\/p>\n
383
\n00:27:04,080 –> 00:27:08,040
\nshalt not die, howbeit this
\nchild will die. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:27:09,920 –> 00:27:14,120
\nBut David knew your knew
\nBathsheba again he comforted his<\/p>\n
385
\n00:27:14,120 –> 00:27:19,080
\nwife and she bare a son.
\nVerse 24 And he called his name <\/p>\n
386
\n00:27:19,080 –> 00:27:21,120
\nSolomon.
\nDo you know who told him to call<\/p>\n
387
\n00:27:21,120 –> 00:27:24,160
\nhim Solomon?
\nIt was God that called, told him<\/p>\n
388
\n00:27:24,160 –> 00:27:27,600
\nto call him Solomon.
\nWe’re told that in Chronicles, <\/p>\n
389
\n00:27:28,640 –> 00:27:32,680
\nbut he’s called Solomon.
\nAnd the next phrase is look at <\/p>\n
390
\n00:27:32,680 –> 00:27:35,520
\nthis.
\nAnd Yahweh loved him. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:27:37,080 –> 00:27:40,440
\nWhy does it say that?
\nBecause surely through that <\/p>\n
392
\n00:27:40,440 –> 00:27:43,640
\nempire, my dear, and says there
\nwere all kinds of people talking<\/p>\n
393
\n00:27:43,640 –> 00:27:46,360
\nabout David, you’d be involved
\nin it yourself. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:27:46,600 –> 00:27:51,480
\nSo would I.
\nWhat David had done was you come<\/p>\n
395
\n00:27:51,480 –> 00:27:53,960
\nthrough this record and you
\ncould cry when you come to those<\/p>\n
396
\n00:27:53,960 –> 00:27:56,520
\nchaps, couldn’t you?
\nYou just almost want to turn <\/p>\n
397
\n00:27:56,520 –> 00:27:58,240
\nover the chapters if it didn’t
\nreally happen. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:27:58,600 –> 00:28:02,760
\nBut it did happen, and everyone
\nin Israel had to adjust to that,<\/p>\n
399
\n00:28:02,760 –> 00:28:05,920
\nthat it actually had happened.
\nThe person they looked to most <\/p>\n
400
\n00:28:05,920 –> 00:28:10,240
\nin that Kingdom had fallen
\nterribly, and two terrible <\/p>\n
401
\n00:28:10,240 –> 00:28:12,920
\nthings were both the wife and
\nwith the husband. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:28:13,760 –> 00:28:17,880
\nThe way he did it, the intrigue
\nwas just just beyond you to <\/p>\n
403
\n00:28:17,880 –> 00:28:20,600
\nunderstand that he could
\npossibly be so involved. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:28:23,000 –> 00:28:26,600
\nThe Bathsheba is with him.
\nUriah’s wife, he’s dead. <\/p>\n
405
\n00:28:28,200 –> 00:28:31,400
\nShe is with him.
\nThe child is struck. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:28:32,200 –> 00:28:37,440
\nAh, they would have said yes, of
\ncourse, the wrong thing, it was <\/p>\n
407
\n00:28:37,440 –> 00:28:41,280
\nwrong.
\nBut another child is born and <\/p>\n
408
\n00:28:41,280 –> 00:28:44,600
\nthe record says Yahweh loved
\nhim. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:28:46,960 –> 00:28:51,320
\nThat’s not like man, Yahweh
\nloved him and that little child <\/p>\n
410
\n00:28:51,320 –> 00:28:54,000
\nwent through, people had to
\nlearn that God loved him. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:28:54,000 –> 00:28:56,320
\nIn fact, he changed his name.
\nWell, he gave him a second name <\/p>\n
412
\n00:28:57,640 –> 00:29:00,440
\nhe sent by the hand of Nathan
\nthe prophet, verse 25. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:29:01,680 –> 00:29:04,080
\nWas Nathan when he stepped into
\nthe palace going to come with <\/p>\n
414
\n00:29:04,080 –> 00:29:09,520
\nanother message of doom?
\nNo, and he called his name <\/p>\n
415
\n00:29:10,560 –> 00:29:15,800
\nJedidiah because of Yahweh.
\nWhat does Jedidiah mean? <\/p>\n
416
\n00:29:17,120 –> 00:29:20,880
\nThe love of God.
\nYou know, there’s something <\/p>\n
417
\n00:29:20,880 –> 00:29:23,320
\nexceedingly beautiful about
\nthose two verses. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:29:24,440 –> 00:29:29,720
\nIt helps us to prune sometimes
\nour hard thoughts about others <\/p>\n
419
\n00:29:29,720 –> 00:29:33,080
\nin their circumstances when we
\nmay not be yet touched by such <\/p>\n
420
\n00:29:33,080 –> 00:29:37,080
\ncircumstances.
\nIt says that Yahweh loved him as<\/p>\n
421
\n00:29:37,080 –> 00:29:39,360
\nhe ran around the palace.
\nThat little boy was growing up. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:29:39,360 –> 00:29:42,560
\nSolomon, little boy,
\nintelligent, interesting little <\/p>\n
423
\n00:29:42,560 –> 00:29:44,040
\nboy.
\nWouldn’t he have been an amazing<\/p>\n
424
\n00:29:44,040 –> 00:29:47,360
\nlittle boy?
\nIncredible child He was, and <\/p>\n
425
\n00:29:47,360 –> 00:29:51,640
\nthey all had to learn if his
\nname was Solomon and God gave <\/p>\n
426
\n00:29:51,640 –> 00:29:55,240
\nhim that name and his name was
\nYahweh Loves him. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:29:56,080 –> 00:30:00,040
\nSo close your mouth.
\nNo whispering around the <\/p>\n
428
\n00:30:00,040 –> 00:30:02,400
\ncorridors of the palace about
\nthat little boy because God <\/p>\n
429
\n00:30:02,400 –> 00:30:04,840
\nloves him.
\nI know. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:30:05,080 –> 00:30:07,120
\nNever mind what you might think,
\nbut God loves him. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:30:08,040 –> 00:30:09,480
\nThat went up and down that
\nnation. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:30:10,960 –> 00:30:13,160
\nNathan came again into David.
\nWhat did he do? <\/p>\n
433
\n00:30:13,880 –> 00:30:16,560
\nOh, the child’s been Smith.
\nAnd I suppose, yeah, bad <\/p>\n
434
\n00:30:16,560 –> 00:30:21,320
\nmarriage should never occur.
\nAlas, they learnt that in fact <\/p>\n
435
\n00:30:21,320 –> 00:30:26,440
\nGod was saying he loves him and
\nthey had to accept that that was<\/p>\n
436
\n00:30:26,440 –> 00:30:31,640
\nGod’s judgement.
\nMost amazing thing. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:30:32,120 –> 00:30:34,640
\nAnd he grew up with that little
\nboy, grew up in that nation and <\/p>\n
438
\n00:30:34,640 –> 00:30:39,040
\npeople began then to look to him
\nand here he was now what about <\/p>\n
439
\n00:30:39,040 –> 00:30:41,600
\n18 years of age?
\nJosephus suggests. <\/p>\n
440
\n00:30:43,320 –> 00:30:48,040
\nAnd so David now is with
\nSullivan alongside him, and he <\/p>\n
441
\n00:30:48,040 –> 00:30:53,800
\nsays, And of all my sons, for
\nYahweh had given me many sons, <\/p>\n
442
\n00:30:55,320 –> 00:31:02,240
\nhe hath chosen Solomon
\nBathsheba’s son, to sit upon the<\/p>\n
443
\n00:31:02,240 –> 00:31:04,840
\nthrone of the Kingdom of Yahweh
\nover Israel. <\/p>\n
444
\n00:31:05,080 –> 00:31:09,880
\nAnd he said them to me, Solomon
\nthy son, he shall build my house<\/p>\n
445
\n00:31:09,880 –> 00:31:13,800
\nand my courts, for I have chosen
\nhim to be my son, and I will be <\/p>\n
446
\n00:31:13,800 –> 00:31:16,480
\nhis father.
\nWhat does that echo? <\/p>\n
447
\n00:31:20,640 –> 00:31:24,560
\nIt’s the promise, isn’t it?
\nThe Messiah promise. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:31:26,480 –> 00:31:29,000
\nI will be his father and he
\nshall be my son. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:31:29,080 –> 00:31:32,560
\nSecond Samuel 7, verse 14.
\nIt’s almost a paraphrase, isn’t <\/p>\n
450
\n00:31:32,560 –> 00:31:35,920
\nit?
\nIt is a paraphrase. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:31:36,920 –> 00:31:39,440
\nSo this little child that was
\ngoing to grow up before them, <\/p>\n
452
\n00:31:40,000 –> 00:31:43,480
\nson of Bathsheba, is
\nnevertheless going to type <\/p>\n
453
\n00:31:43,480 –> 00:31:47,720
\nMessiah to come.
\nWhat an amazing thing David <\/p>\n
454
\n00:31:47,720 –> 00:31:52,920
\ntells everyone those things.
\nI will establish his Kingdom <\/p>\n
455
\n00:31:52,920 –> 00:31:54,000
\nforever.
\nVerse 7. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:31:55,040 –> 00:31:56,400
\nThere’s the promise again, isn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n
457
\n00:31:56,440 –> 00:31:59,480
\nHe’s going to be a prototype of
\nthe greater to come. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:31:59,480 –> 00:32:02,800
\nNow therefore, in the sight of
\nall Israel, the congregation of <\/p>\n
459
\n00:32:02,800 –> 00:32:06,880
\nthe Lord, and in the audience of
\nour God, keep and seek for all <\/p>\n
460
\n00:32:06,880 –> 00:32:10,080
\nthe commandment of Yahweh, your
\nGod, that you may possess this <\/p>\n
461
\n00:32:10,080 –> 00:32:13,320
\ngood land and leave it for an
\ninheritance for your children <\/p>\n
462
\n00:32:13,320 –> 00:32:16,680
\nafter you forever.
\nThat’s David’s wish. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:32:17,280 –> 00:32:20,400
\nRemember how he said in the
\nPsalms, Psalm 71, until I have <\/p>\n
464
\n00:32:20,400 –> 00:32:23,880
\ntaught this generation thy, thy
\nglory and thy strength. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:32:24,400 –> 00:32:27,240
\nAnd here he is, He’s about it.
\nThat’s exactly what he’s about <\/p>\n
466
\n00:32:27,720 –> 00:32:30,440
\nto convey to this generation,
\nthat they will never let this <\/p>\n
467
\n00:32:30,440 –> 00:32:34,240
\noff this, this glow of
\nunderstanding, this greater <\/p>\n
468
\n00:32:34,240 –> 00:32:37,520
\nperception of their position
\nunder God and what Israel was <\/p>\n
469
\n00:32:37,520 –> 00:32:39,000
\nthat they would not forget.
\nForget it. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:32:39,640 –> 00:32:42,320
\nKeep in seek for all the
\ncommandments of the Abu, your <\/p>\n
471
\n00:32:42,320 –> 00:32:44,760
\nGod, that he may possess this
\ngood land. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:32:45,880 –> 00:32:51,680
\nAnd turning to his boy in the
\nface of the nation, he said, Did<\/p>\n
473
\n00:32:51,680 –> 00:32:54,200
\na son father ever speak more
\nbeautifully to a son? <\/p>\n
474
\n00:32:54,920 –> 00:33:03,920
\nThou, Solomon, my son, know thou
\nthe God of thy father, and serve<\/p>\n
475
\n00:33:03,920 –> 00:33:09,240
\nhim with a perfect heart and
\nwith a willing mind, for Yahweh <\/p>\n
476
\n00:33:09,240 –> 00:33:11,880
\nsearcheth all heart.
\nHe knows you, my boy, You’ll <\/p>\n
477
\n00:33:11,880 –> 00:33:16,640
\nnever put it over Him.
\nYahweh searcheth all hearts and <\/p>\n
478
\n00:33:16,640 –> 00:33:19,240
\nunderstandeth all the
\nimagination of the thoughts. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:33:20,080 –> 00:33:25,240
\nIf thou seek Him, He will be
\nfound of thee, but if thou <\/p>\n
480
\n00:33:25,240 –> 00:33:28,320
\nforsake, He will cast thee off
\nforever. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:33:30,360 –> 00:33:33,760
\nDid a father ever speak more
\nbeautifully publicly to His Son?<\/p>\n
482
\n00:33:34,760 –> 00:33:39,840
\nTake heed now, or Yahweh hath
\nchosen to build in house for the<\/p>\n
483
\n00:33:39,840 –> 00:33:42,880
\nsanctuary.
\nBe stronged, I like to think my <\/p>\n
484
\n00:33:42,880 –> 00:33:44,480
\ndear and sisters, perhaps were
\nwrong. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:33:45,120 –> 00:33:49,720
\nI like to think that at the last
\nera of Solomon’s life those <\/p>\n
486
\n00:33:49,720 –> 00:33:51,760
\nwords may have yet come back to
\nhis ears. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:33:52,680 –> 00:33:54,640
\nThey’re exceedingly beautiful
\nwords, aren’t they? <\/p>\n
488
\n00:33:56,320 –> 00:33:59,400
\nServe him with a perfect heart
\nand with a willing knock. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:34:00,520 –> 00:34:05,840
\nAnd then in verses 11 onwards,
\nhe, he gave to him formerly all <\/p>\n
490
\n00:34:05,840 –> 00:34:12,920
\nthe scrolls on which the, the
\narchitectural plans of the house<\/p>\n
491
\n00:34:12,920 –> 00:34:16,080
\nwere inscribed.
\nAnd we went through this <\/p>\n
492
\n00:34:16,080 –> 00:34:19,520
\nsection, didn’t we?
\nWe found that it, it gave all <\/p>\n
493
\n00:34:19,520 –> 00:34:23,360
\nthe details not just of the
\nbuilding of the temple, but of <\/p>\n
494
\n00:34:23,360 –> 00:34:27,239
\nthe, the rooms around it and how
\nthe thing would operate. <\/p>\n
495
\n00:34:27,280 –> 00:34:31,199
\nVerse 13 courses of the priests
\nand the Levites and so on. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:34:31,480 –> 00:34:34,679
\nAnd so that’s all the the
\nearlier chapters that told us <\/p>\n
497
\n00:34:34,679 –> 00:34:38,480
\nabout those courses.
\nAnd so because of that, he was <\/p>\n
498
\n00:34:38,480 –> 00:34:41,480
\nable to determine all the
\namounts of metals and other <\/p>\n
499
\n00:34:41,639 –> 00:34:45,760
\nmaterials that he needed.
\nAnd in that long list that runs <\/p>\n
500
\n00:34:45,760 –> 00:34:49,480
\nright through there to verse 18,
\nit’s clear that David had a had <\/p>\n
501
\n00:34:49,480 –> 00:34:51,960
\nbuilt this all up in his mind.
\nHe’d sat there at his desk and <\/p>\n
502
\n00:34:51,960 –> 00:34:54,840
\nsaid, well, if it’s going to be
\nthis and that furniture, then <\/p>\n
503
\n00:34:54,840 –> 00:34:57,320
\nit’s going to require this
\namount of gold and that amount <\/p>\n
504
\n00:34:57,320 –> 00:34:58,840
\nof silver.
\nAnd so I’ve got to get these <\/p>\n
505
\n00:34:58,840 –> 00:35:01,840
\nthings got to accumulate this.
\nIt’s got to be ready. <\/p>\n
506
\n00:35:03,480 –> 00:35:06,120
\nThat was his concentration of
\nmine on the House of God. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:35:06,480 –> 00:35:09,920
\nAll this said David.
\nYahweh made me understand verse <\/p>\n
508
\n00:35:09,920 –> 00:35:16,000
\n19 in writing and David said to
\nSolomon be strong and of good <\/p>\n
509
\n00:35:16,000 –> 00:35:17,800
\ncourage.
\nYou know where these words come <\/p>\n
510
\n00:35:17,800 –> 00:35:23,920
\nfrom.
\nHe he had an ear for the moment,<\/p>\n
511
\n00:35:23,920 –> 00:35:27,240
\ndidn’t he?
\nMoses stood and said these words<\/p>\n
512
\n00:35:27,240 –> 00:35:33,320
\nto young Joshua.
\nIt was the change of the God one<\/p>\n
513
\n00:35:33,320 –> 00:35:36,960
\ngeneration onto another and now
\nit’s the change of the guard <\/p>\n
514
\n00:35:36,960 –> 00:35:39,920
\nagain.
\nSolomon will take on from David.<\/p>\n
515
\n00:35:41,400 –> 00:35:43,600
\nBe strong and of good courage
\nand do it. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:35:43,680 –> 00:35:46,880
\nFear not, nor be the Spain for
\nthe Lord God. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:35:46,880 –> 00:35:51,320
\nEven my God, the God of your
\nFather will be with them. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:35:52,840 –> 00:35:56,800
\nHe will not foul of the sake.
\nDavid, Solomon, look at my life.<\/p>\n
519
\n00:35:57,120 –> 00:36:00,160
\nLook at all the things that have
\nhappened, the ups and downs, but<\/p>\n
520
\n00:36:00,160 –> 00:36:03,560
\nGod has been with them, and
\nHe’ll be with you if you are <\/p>\n
521
\n00:36:03,560 –> 00:36:08,680
\nwith Him.
\nFurthermore, David the king, <\/p>\n
522
\n00:36:08,800 –> 00:36:14,400
\nverse 1 of chapter 29, said unto
\nall the congregation, Solomon, <\/p>\n
523
\n00:36:14,400 –> 00:36:19,000
\nmy son, whom alone God hath
\nchosen as yet young and tender, <\/p>\n
524
\n00:36:19,320 –> 00:36:23,560
\nand the work is great, for the
\npalace is not for man, but for <\/p>\n
525
\n00:36:23,560 –> 00:36:27,280
\nthe Lord God.
\nNow that word congregation is <\/p>\n
526
\n00:36:27,280 –> 00:36:32,320
\nworth observing.
\nIt first occurred in verse 8 of <\/p>\n
527
\n00:36:32,320 –> 00:36:35,960
\nchapter 28.
\nNow therefore, in the sight of <\/p>\n
528
\n00:36:35,960 –> 00:36:42,480
\nall Israel, the congregation of
\nthe Lord, it’s one of the words <\/p>\n
529
\n00:36:42,480 –> 00:36:46,760
\nof the moment.
\nIn chapter 29 again, and verse <\/p>\n
530
\n00:36:46,760 –> 00:36:51,680
\n10 it occurs again before all
\nthe congregation. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:36:52,640 –> 00:36:56,960
\nAnd in chapter 20, verse 20,
\nit’s there twice. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:36:57,600 –> 00:37:00,280
\nDavid said to all the
\ncongregation, and all the <\/p>\n
533
\n00:37:00,280 –> 00:37:02,800
\ncongregation bless the Lord God
\nof their founders. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:37:04,120 –> 00:37:08,800
\nIf you think of David’s life,
\nthis is the great congregation, <\/p>\n
535
\n00:37:08,800 –> 00:37:10,760
\nisn’t it?
\nThere was never a time in his <\/p>\n
536
\n00:37:10,760 –> 00:37:13,840
\nlife when there was a
\ncongregation like this. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:37:15,120 –> 00:37:19,280
\nAnd here he is virtually taken
\nout of the bed of death as <\/p>\n
538
\n00:37:19,280 –> 00:37:25,400
\npeople thought, and he has now
\nbeen able to stand again on his <\/p>\n
539
\n00:37:25,400 –> 00:37:29,120
\nfeet and address that nation and
\nbring them together. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:37:32,200 –> 00:37:36,640
\nIt’s a kind of standing against
\nthou which has showed me great <\/p>\n
541
\n00:37:36,640 –> 00:37:39,400
\nand sore troubles shalt quicken
\nme again. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:37:40,280 –> 00:37:45,880
\nAnd in a sense, David is, is is
\nbreathing the the sense of <\/p>\n
543
\n00:37:45,880 –> 00:37:48,680
\nresurrection.
\nAnd here’s the great <\/p>\n
544
\n00:37:48,680 –> 00:37:51,200
\ncongregation and here’s all the
\npeople of Israel. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:37:51,400 –> 00:37:54,120
\nAnd here’s a new start and a new
\nking and a new era. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:37:54,920 –> 00:37:57,160
\nIt’s like the two phases of
\nMessiah’s life. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:37:57,320 –> 00:38:00,280
\nHe’s gone down into the depths
\nand now he’s he’s coming up <\/p>\n
548
\n00:38:00,280 –> 00:38:02,440
\nagain.
\nBut to take control of the <\/p>\n
549
\n00:38:02,440 –> 00:38:06,160
\nKingdom.
\nThere is a Psalm, my dear and <\/p>\n
550
\n00:38:06,160 –> 00:38:07,920
\nsisters, that has those two
\nphases. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:38:08,400 –> 00:38:11,680
\nWhat is that Psalm?
\nIs it not Psalm 22? <\/p>\n
552
\n00:38:12,720 –> 00:38:18,720
\nCome and have a look at her.
\nWhen was Psalm 22 written? <\/p>\n
553
\n00:38:26,520 –> 00:38:30,880
\nLook at the echoes involved in
\nthis Psalm to the era of this <\/p>\n
554
\n00:38:30,880 –> 00:38:37,000
\nera of David’s life.
\nVerses 1 to 21 are about the <\/p>\n
555
\n00:38:37,000 –> 00:38:43,480
\nMessiah in great extremity.
\nMy God, my God, why hast thou <\/p>\n
556
\n00:38:43,480 –> 00:38:47,160
\nforsaken me?
\nWhy hath thou so far from <\/p>\n
557
\n00:38:47,160 –> 00:38:49,320
\nhelping me, and from the words
\nof my roaring? <\/p>\n
558
\n00:38:49,320 –> 00:38:51,840
\nHe could not get better no
\nmatter what He did. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:38:52,560 –> 00:38:56,200
\nOh my God, I cry in the daytime,
\nbut thou hearest not in the <\/p>\n
560
\n00:38:56,200 –> 00:39:02,920
\nnight season and not silent.
\nIt’s a sound of David, but as we<\/p>\n
561
\n00:39:02,920 –> 00:39:05,400
\nknow, it’s Messianic.
\nIt’s telling of the greater 1 to<\/p>\n
562
\n00:39:05,400 –> 00:39:08,400
\ncome.
\nLook at the echoes again in <\/p>\n
563
\n00:39:08,440 –> 00:39:12,600
\nverse 9 and 10.
\nBut thou art he that took me out<\/p>\n
564
\n00:39:12,600 –> 00:39:15,640
\nof the womb.
\nThou didst make me hope. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:39:15,640 –> 00:39:17,120
\nWhen I was upon my mother’s
\nbreath. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:39:17,920 –> 00:39:19,640
\nI was cast upon thee from the
\nwomb. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:39:19,840 –> 00:39:21,960
\nThou art my God from my mother’s
\nfamily. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:39:22,680 –> 00:39:25,680
\nThere’s no other words like that
\nthan what we found in Psalm 71. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:39:27,960 –> 00:39:31,640
\nNothing in all the record of
\nPsalms apart from those words in<\/p>\n
570
\n00:39:31,640 –> 00:39:34,800
\nPsalm 71, which was a Psalm of
\nhis older. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:39:37,360 –> 00:39:42,640
\nWhat about verse 22?
\nI would declare thy name unto my<\/p>\n
572
\n00:39:43,600 –> 00:39:48,840
\nbrethren.
\nIt’s in first in in First <\/p>\n
573
\n00:39:48,840 –> 00:39:52,280
\nChronicles chapter 28 that he
\ncalls them my brethren. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:39:53,520 –> 00:39:55,160
\nThere were two phases in his
\nlife. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:39:55,320 –> 00:39:58,560
\nThere was the phase of of
\npassion and almost death. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:39:59,160 –> 00:40:02,320
\nHe felt death.
\nHe’s been taken out of the bed <\/p>\n
577
\n00:40:02,320 –> 00:40:04,440
\nof death.
\nAnd he stood upon his feet in <\/p>\n
578
\n00:40:04,440 –> 00:40:11,320
\nAnastasis a standing again.
\nI would declare thy name unto my<\/p>\n
579
\n00:40:11,320 –> 00:40:14,960
\nbrethren in the midst of the
\ncongregation. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:40:16,720 –> 00:40:19,320
\nWill I praise thee?
\nAnd that’s exactly what he did. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:40:20,240 –> 00:40:23,120
\nHe had all this role gathered
\ntogether, and he praised the <\/p>\n
582
\n00:40:23,120 –> 00:40:28,880
\nname of God as he always had
\nbeen in a superlative way in <\/p>\n
583
\n00:40:29,120 –> 00:40:33,520
\nFirst Chronicles 28 and 29.
\nMy praise, verse 25 shall be of <\/p>\n
584
\n00:40:33,520 –> 00:40:37,800
\nthee in the great congregation.
\nI will pay my vows before them <\/p>\n
585
\n00:40:37,800 –> 00:40:40,320
\nthat fear Him.
\nThe meat shall eat and be <\/p>\n
586
\n00:40:40,320 –> 00:40:42,440
\nsatisfied.
\nThey all went away on that <\/p>\n
587
\n00:40:42,440 –> 00:40:46,160
\noccasion with a portion that
\nthey had received from the king.<\/p>\n
588
\n00:40:46,680 –> 00:40:49,680
\nThey shall praise the Lord, that
\nseeking your heart shall live <\/p>\n
589
\n00:40:49,680 –> 00:40:52,680
\nforever.
\nThe Kingdom is the Lord’s verse <\/p>\n
590
\n00:40:52,680 –> 00:40:55,480
\n28 and He is the governor among
\nthe nations. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:40:56,200 –> 00:40:59,600
\nSo 2 phases are in that Psalm.
\nAnd it’s my strong suggestion <\/p>\n
592
\n00:41:00,400 –> 00:41:03,440
\nthat that most beautiful of all
\nthe Psalms, surely which <\/p>\n
593
\n00:41:03,440 –> 00:41:06,040
\nactually epitomises the very
\nwords of Messiah. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:41:06,040 –> 00:41:10,320
\nIt’s not in third person like
\nIsaiah 53, it’s in first person.<\/p>\n
595
\n00:41:10,960 –> 00:41:14,400
\nThe person that expressed it was
\ngiven their privilege to have <\/p>\n
596
\n00:41:14,400 –> 00:41:17,280
\nthe Spirit of Christ, as it
\nwere, speaking the words of <\/p>\n
597
\n00:41:17,280 –> 00:41:23,000
\nChrist in the hour of his death.
\nWhat a privilege it seems to be <\/p>\n
598
\n00:41:23,000 –> 00:41:28,120
\ngiven to David to speak those
\nwords at this era of his life. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:41:28,520 –> 00:41:30,440
\nIsn’t that a beautiful thing?
\nWhat even says? <\/p>\n
600
\n00:41:30,720 –> 00:41:36,480
\nHow God Forgives and absolutely
\nforgives that such a privilege <\/p>\n
601
\n00:41:36,480 –> 00:41:42,120
\nwas given to the old David and
\nthe last days or hours of his <\/p>\n
602
\n00:41:42,120 –> 00:41:46,000
\nlife back then.
\nThe first comic was 29. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:41:48,840 –> 00:41:52,640
\nIf we’re going to build this
\nhouse, there’s got to be great <\/p>\n
604
\n00:41:52,640 –> 00:41:55,400
\npreparations and great
\ngenerosity. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:41:56,680 –> 00:42:01,440
\nAnd so David inspires by his own
\nexample. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:42:02,320 –> 00:42:05,320
\nI have prepared with all my
\nnight for the House of my God. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:42:05,320 –> 00:42:10,720
\nVerse 2 Gold for things of gold
\nand silver and brass and <\/p>\n
608
\n00:42:10,800 –> 00:42:15,800
\nironwood and Onyx stones and
\nstones to be set, blistering <\/p>\n
609
\n00:42:15,800 –> 00:42:19,720
\nstones and divers colours of all
\nmanner of precious stones and <\/p>\n
610
\n00:42:19,720 –> 00:42:23,280
\nmarble stones in in abundance.
\nLook at all the things he had <\/p>\n
611
\n00:42:23,280 –> 00:42:24,480
\nthought about.
\nMy dear brethren. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:42:24,480 –> 00:42:27,320
\nSisters, sometimes you run up a
\nlittle list and it’s, oh, never <\/p>\n
613
\n00:42:27,320 –> 00:42:31,520
\nget it all done today, don’t we?
\nI never get it done, you know, <\/p>\n
614
\n00:42:31,960 –> 00:42:34,600
\nand we think life’s very busy.
\nBut he’s a, he’s a great man. <\/p>\n
615
\n00:42:34,600 –> 00:42:37,840
\nHe could have sat back and just
\nlet everybody be at his beck and<\/p>\n
616
\n00:42:37,840 –> 00:42:39,840
\ncall.
\nHe’s out there with his walking <\/p>\n
617
\n00:42:39,840 –> 00:42:41,200
\nstick, looking after all these
\nthings. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:42:41,360 –> 00:42:43,040
\nWe’ve got enough Onyx stones.
\nWe’ve got enough this. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:42:43,200 –> 00:42:45,280
\nWhat about stones to be set?
\nWhat about the gold silk? <\/p>\n
620
\n00:42:45,400 –> 00:42:48,960
\nHow’s it going out there?
\nOther men bringing down the wood<\/p>\n
621
\n00:42:48,960 –> 00:42:51,920
\nfrom the other hewers ready.
\nAll these things upon his mind. <\/p>\n
622
\n00:42:51,960 –> 00:42:54,240
\nAnd he’s an old man.
\nHe’d been in a bed of death. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:42:55,600 –> 00:42:59,400
\nIt’s an amazing story, isn’t it?
\nMoreover, I have set my <\/p>\n
624
\n00:42:59,400 –> 00:43:02,560
\naffection to the House of my
\nGod. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:43:04,440 –> 00:43:07,880
\nHe must have had tears streaming
\ndown their faces as they <\/p>\n
626
\n00:43:07,880 –> 00:43:12,040
\nlistened to this amazing man, a
\nman of God indeed. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:43:12,720 –> 00:43:16,440
\nAnd I have therefore made a
\npersonal donation of my own <\/p>\n
628
\n00:43:16,640 –> 00:43:21,440
\nproper gold, good of gold and
\nsilver, which I have given to <\/p>\n
629
\n00:43:21,440 –> 00:43:24,400
\nthe House of my God over and
\nabove all that I have prepared. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:43:25,000 –> 00:43:28,520
\nIt was a personal donation, not
\nrelated to the national <\/p>\n
631
\n00:43:28,520 –> 00:43:31,720
\ntreasures, but of the personal
\nfamily. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:43:31,720 –> 00:43:37,800
\nWealth of day even. 3000 talents
\nof gold, of the best of the gold<\/p>\n
633
\n00:43:37,800 –> 00:43:42,160
\nof Oprah, 7000 talents of
\nrefined silver, gold for things <\/p>\n
634
\n00:43:42,160 –> 00:43:44,240
\nof gold, silver for things of
\nsilver. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:43:45,040 –> 00:43:48,800
\nAnd who then he said, verse 5,
\nis willing to consecrate his <\/p>\n
636
\n00:43:48,800 –> 00:43:52,520
\nservice this day unto the Lord?
\nWell, what would you do if you’d<\/p>\n
637
\n00:43:52,520 –> 00:43:56,480
\nopen your pockets, wouldn’t you,
\nwith such inspiring example? <\/p>\n
638
\n00:43:56,480 –> 00:43:59,560
\nAnd they did.
\nThen the people rejoiced, verse <\/p>\n
639
\n00:43:59,560 –> 00:44:03,560
\n9, happy to be involved in
\nfellowship with such a spirit. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:44:04,080 –> 00:44:07,480
\nThe people rejoice for that.
\nThey offered willingly, and <\/p>\n
641
\n00:44:07,480 –> 00:44:10,680
\nthat’s the Word, isn’t it?
\nWilling in verse 5, Willingly in<\/p>\n
642
\n00:44:10,680 –> 00:44:15,760
\nverse 6, willing in verse 21 of
\nthe previous chapter, willing <\/p>\n
643
\n00:44:15,760 –> 00:44:21,440
\nmind in verse 9 of chapter 28.
\nAnd they caught the spirit on <\/p>\n
644
\n00:44:21,480 –> 00:44:23,560
\nit.
\nThe people rejoice for that. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:44:23,560 –> 00:44:27,560
\nThey offered willingly because
\nwith perfect heart they offered <\/p>\n
646
\n00:44:27,560 –> 00:44:30,240
\nwillingly to Yahweh.
\nThe people rejoice for that. <\/p>\n
647
\n00:44:31,640 –> 00:44:34,520
\nThey saw one man person doing
\nit, and they did it themselves <\/p>\n
648
\n00:44:34,520 –> 00:44:36,560
\nand others did it and they
\nthought this is a glorious <\/p>\n
649
\n00:44:36,560 –> 00:44:39,280
\nthing.
\nThere’s a spirit of giving here <\/p>\n
650
\n00:44:39,600 –> 00:44:41,160
\nand they rejoiced in it
\ntogether. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:44:41,360 –> 00:44:43,200
\nThere were Princess and great
\nmen of the realm. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:44:43,280 –> 00:44:45,120
\nAnd now it was pouring out of
\ntheir pockets. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:44:45,120 –> 00:44:47,600
\nAll of them had large
\ncheckbooks, so to speak, and <\/p>\n
654
\n00:44:47,600 –> 00:44:50,640
\nthey poured it into the
\ntreasuries and loved to do it. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:44:51,920 –> 00:44:55,800
\nSo David had inspired them.
\nAnd David saw it all. <\/p>\n
656
\n00:44:55,920 –> 00:45:00,000
\nAnd it says in verse 9.
\nAnd David the king also rejoiced<\/p>\n
657
\n00:45:00,000 –> 00:45:04,760
\nwith great joy.
\nImagine the old man imagined <\/p>\n
658
\n00:45:04,760 –> 00:45:08,400
\nseeing his his joy at that time
\nand the impression of that upon <\/p>\n
659
\n00:45:08,560 –> 00:45:13,320
\nall of his great administrators.
\nAnd then with his heart full, he<\/p>\n
660
\n00:45:13,320 –> 00:45:16,560
\ncame before God.
\nAnd you know, these words have <\/p>\n
661
\n00:45:16,560 –> 00:45:19,720
\nto be some of the most beautiful
\nwords in our Bible. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:45:19,800 –> 00:45:24,680
\nDo you know why our Lord Jesus
\ncame through here and he picked <\/p>\n
663
\n00:45:24,680 –> 00:45:26,920
\nup these words?
\nListen carefully. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:45:27,920 –> 00:45:32,880
\nHe was asked how to pray once
\nand he gave us an example of how<\/p>\n
665
\n00:45:32,880 –> 00:45:34,680
\nto pray.
\nWhere do you think it came from?<\/p>\n
666
\n00:45:35,720 –> 00:45:38,560
\nWell, it came from him, but
\nlisten carefully. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:45:39,960 –> 00:45:49,680
\nAnd David said, Blessed be thou,
\nLord God of Israel, our Father, <\/p>\n
668
\n00:45:51,120 –> 00:45:59,000
\nforever and ever Thine, oh Lord,
\nis the greatness, the power and <\/p>\n
669
\n00:45:59,000 –> 00:46:03,520
\nthe glory and the victory and
\nthe majesty, for all that is in <\/p>\n
670
\n00:46:03,520 –> 00:46:10,480
\nthe heaven and the earth is thy
\nthine is the Kingdom, oh Yahweh,<\/p>\n
671
\n00:46:11,240 –> 00:46:13,480
\nand thou had exalted his head
\nabove all. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:46:14,600 –> 00:46:17,880
\nYes, that’s the Lord’s prayers
\nbasis, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
673
\n00:46:17,880 –> 00:46:20,680
\nIt’s a very beautiful thing,
\nmore beautiful than words can <\/p>\n
674
\n00:46:20,680 –> 00:46:26,600
\nexpress that one time our Lord
\nJesus in no doubting Nazareth or<\/p>\n
675
\n00:46:26,600 –> 00:46:28,320
\nsomewhere like that in a quiet
\nspot. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:46:28,720 –> 00:46:30,480
\nRead those words, my dear bird
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:46:30,880 –> 00:46:34,920
\nAnd with all the emotion that’s
\ninvolved in these beautiful <\/p>\n
678
\n00:46:34,920 –> 00:46:38,000
\nchapters, He let it flow into
\nhis heart and mind and he was <\/p>\n
679
\n00:46:38,000 –> 00:46:41,040
\nimpressed.
\nNever forgot that impression. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:46:41,040 –> 00:46:45,280
\nAnd when he was asked about
\nprayer, he said, I’ll, I’ll tell<\/p>\n
681
\n00:46:45,280 –> 00:46:49,400
\nyou how to pray.
\nAnd his his words are couched in<\/p>\n
682
\n00:46:49,400 –> 00:46:51,440
\nthe words of David.
\nIn the end of his life. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:46:52,680 –> 00:46:57,320
\nThat’s what he thought when he,
\nlike you and I now read these <\/p>\n
684
\n00:46:57,320 –> 00:46:59,760
\nwords, That’s what he thought of
\nthat prayer. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:47:00,600 –> 00:47:02,680
\nIt touched him to a point that
\nhe never forgot it. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:47:05,720 –> 00:47:09,520
\nBoth riches and honour come of
\nthee, and thou reignest over <\/p>\n
687
\n00:47:09,560 –> 00:47:12,040
\nall.
\nIn thine hand is power and light<\/p>\n
688
\n00:47:12,600 –> 00:47:14,680
\nGive us this day, our daily
\nbreath. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:47:15,840 –> 00:47:19,120
\nNow therefore our God, we thank
\nthee and praise thy glorious <\/p>\n
690
\n00:47:19,120 –> 00:47:21,400
\nname.
\nBut who am I and what is my <\/p>\n
691
\n00:47:21,400 –> 00:47:25,360
\npeople that we should be able to
\noffer so willingly after this <\/p>\n
692
\n00:47:25,360 –> 00:47:27,360
\nsort?
\nFor all things come of thee, and<\/p>\n
693
\n00:47:27,360 –> 00:47:30,720
\nof thine own have we given thee.
\nIt was true, and it always is <\/p>\n
694
\n00:47:30,720 –> 00:47:32,640
\ntrue.
\nBut he saw it at that time, <\/p>\n
695
\n00:47:32,640 –> 00:47:36,160
\ndidn’t he?
\nBut we are strangers before <\/p>\n
696
\n00:47:36,160 –> 00:47:39,200
\nthese sojours, as were all our
\nfathers. <\/p>\n
697
\n00:47:40,360 –> 00:47:43,840
\nOld Abraham comes up in the in
\nthe background of the mind as <\/p>\n
698
\n00:47:45,000 –> 00:47:47,960
\nand Isaac and Jacob sojourns and
\nstrangers. <\/p>\n
699
\n00:47:49,040 –> 00:47:53,040
\nWe pass our days as a shadow.
\nThere’s none abiding, O Lord our<\/p>\n
700
\n00:47:53,040 –> 00:47:56,920
\nGod, of all this store that we
\nhave prepared to build in house.<\/p>\n
701
\n00:47:56,920 –> 00:48:02,280
\nFor thine holy name cometh of
\nthine hand, and is all thine <\/p>\n
702
\n00:48:02,840 –> 00:48:06,600
\nown.
\nAnd the birds that follow just <\/p>\n
703
\n00:48:06,600 –> 00:48:10,160
\nso, so beautiful.
\nHe’s still praying to God. <\/p>\n
704
\n00:48:11,080 –> 00:48:16,560
\nI know also, my God, that thou
\ntryst the heart, and has <\/p>\n
705
\n00:48:16,560 –> 00:48:24,680
\npleasure in uprightness.
\nAs for me, this is David <\/p>\n
706
\n00:48:24,680 –> 00:48:28,400
\nspeaking into the uprightness of
\nmy heart. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:48:29,480 –> 00:48:32,440
\nI have willingly offered all
\nthese things. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:48:33,200 –> 00:48:36,920
\nHe said he believed that God
\nForgives, doesn’t and another <\/p>\n
709
\n00:48:36,920 –> 00:48:41,000
\nseason opens.
\nAs for me, in the uprightness of<\/p>\n
710
\n00:48:41,000 –> 00:48:45,600
\nmy heart I have willingly
\noffered all these things, and <\/p>\n
711
\n00:48:45,600 –> 00:48:49,440
\nnow have I seen with joy Thy
\npeople which are present here to<\/p>\n
712
\n00:48:49,440 –> 00:48:54,800
\noffer willingly unto Thee.
\nThey’ve caught the spirit of the<\/p>\n
713
\n00:48:54,800 –> 00:48:59,880
\nwhole occasion.
\nHeavenly Father, let this never <\/p>\n
714
\n00:48:59,880 –> 00:49:03,000
\nbe lost in their intelligence,
\nin their remembrance. <\/p>\n
715
\n00:49:03,320 –> 00:49:09,720
\nKeep it in their minds.
\nO Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac,<\/p>\n
716
\n00:49:09,720 –> 00:49:14,920
\nand of Israel, our fathers have
\nreceived covenant with whom you <\/p>\n
717
\n00:49:14,920 –> 00:49:19,480
\nmade a special people.
\nKeep this forever in the <\/p>\n
718
\n00:49:19,720 –> 00:49:23,720
\nimagination of the thoughts of
\nthe heart of Thy people, and <\/p>\n
719
\n00:49:23,720 –> 00:49:28,600
\nprepare their heart unto Thee.
\nBut this may never be lost upon <\/p>\n
720
\n00:49:28,600 –> 00:49:30,720
\ntheir conscience.
\nThey may never think of <\/p>\n
721
\n00:49:30,720 –> 00:49:33,480
\nthemselves as an as another
\nordinary people. <\/p>\n
722
\n00:49:34,000 –> 00:49:40,160
\nBut if people called and
\nseparated Solomon, give unto <\/p>\n
723
\n00:49:40,320 –> 00:49:48,440
\nSolomon, my son, a perfect heart
\nto keep thy commands by <\/p>\n
724
\n00:49:48,440 –> 00:49:53,000
\ntestimonies and thy statues, and
\nto do all these things and to <\/p>\n
725
\n00:49:53,000 –> 00:49:57,000
\nbuild the palace for the which I
\nhad made provision. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:49:57,000 –> 00:50:00,720
\nI don’t think there’s anything
\nmore beautiful, my dear brother,<\/p>\n
727
\n00:50:00,720 –> 00:50:04,600
\nsisters in Scripture really,
\nthan that is them prayer of <\/p>\n
728
\n00:50:04,600 –> 00:50:07,600
\nDavid as he brought that nation
\ntogether and he wanted to <\/p>\n
729
\n00:50:07,600 –> 00:50:10,200
\npreserve that moment.
\nYou know, here we are in all of <\/p>\n
730
\n00:50:10,200 –> 00:50:15,680
\nour orderliness in 19 No year
\n2000, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
731
\n00:50:17,520 –> 00:50:18,880
\nBut it’s the same with us, isn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n
732
\n00:50:18,880 –> 00:50:21,800
\nWe come and we see beautiful
\nthings, beautiful things. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:50:21,920 –> 00:50:25,360
\nAnd what we need to say to each
\nother and to our God is that He <\/p>\n
734
\n00:50:25,360 –> 00:50:26,880
\nmight preserve that in our
\nhearts. <\/p>\n
735
\n00:50:26,880 –> 00:50:30,120
\nAnd we go back into the ordinary
\nhighways, driving along with our<\/p>\n
736
\n00:50:30,120 –> 00:50:33,080
\ncars and back into our families,
\nand there’s all the same <\/p>\n
737
\n00:50:33,080 –> 00:50:36,080
\nfurniture and back into our
\neclesial life and there’s the <\/p>\n
738
\n00:50:36,080 –> 00:50:37,920
\nsame ordinariness as it was
\nthere. <\/p>\n
739
\n00:50:38,440 –> 00:50:41,560
\nWe want to remember that, not
\nlet that moment go because <\/p>\n
740
\n00:50:41,560 –> 00:50:45,840
\nthat’s what David wanted.
\nYou know, he, he kept it up even<\/p>\n
741
\n00:50:45,840 –> 00:50:48,680
\nafter this.
\nHe went back home to his palace.<\/p>\n
742
\n00:50:49,360 –> 00:50:52,560
\nThe day was finished and he
\nprayed. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:50:52,560 –> 00:50:57,280
\nYou know what he prayed?
\nPsalm 72, I’m sure it was prayed<\/p>\n
744
\n00:50:57,280 –> 00:50:58,960
\nat this time.
\nRemember what it says. <\/p>\n
745
\n00:51:01,600 –> 00:51:09,400
\nGive the king thy judgement so
\nGod and thy righteousness unto <\/p>\n
746
\n00:51:09,400 –> 00:51:13,120
\nthe King’s Son.
\nSolomon is now upon the throne. <\/p>\n
747
\n00:51:13,120 –> 00:51:15,520
\nAnd there was going to be a
\ncontinuity. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:51:15,520 –> 00:51:17,840
\nIt was like a type of the
\nKingdom, wasn’t it? <\/p>\n
749
\n00:51:19,720 –> 00:51:23,960
\nBut he prayed that God might
\ngive to Solomon the King’s <\/p>\n
750
\n00:51:23,960 –> 00:51:26,200
\njudgements.
\nAnd that’s exactly what he has <\/p>\n
751
\n00:51:26,200 –> 00:51:29,560
\nhere, that the heart that he had
\ntoward these things might go <\/p>\n
752
\n00:51:29,560 –> 00:51:33,320
\ninto his son.
\nHis son might see it in all that<\/p>\n
753
\n00:51:33,320 –> 00:51:38,800
\nsame fervency and and clarity
\nand live in that spirit in the <\/p>\n
754
\n00:51:38,800 –> 00:51:42,120
\ndays of his king.
\nGive the King thy judgement, O <\/p>\n
755
\n00:51:42,120 –> 00:51:45,440
\nGod, and thy righteousness under
\nthe King’s Son. <\/p>\n
756
\n00:51:47,080 –> 00:51:49,480
\nThat’s how we feel, don’t we,
\nwith our next generation. <\/p>\n
757
\n00:51:49,520 –> 00:51:52,560
\nWe’ve got to fight for our next
\ngeneration to put into their <\/p>\n
758
\n00:51:52,560 –> 00:51:56,640
\nhearts with all the same
\nintensity that we have felt and <\/p>\n
759
\n00:51:56,640 –> 00:51:59,840
\nloved this weekend together to
\nput into their hearts. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:52:00,320 –> 00:52:04,640
\nThere won’t be the TV or or the
\nnovels or the evolution they <\/p>\n
761
\n00:52:04,640 –> 00:52:07,400
\nlearn at school, or all the
\nungodliness they might hear in <\/p>\n
762
\n00:52:07,400 –> 00:52:11,520
\nthis society all the placarding
\nof advertisements and books and <\/p>\n
763
\n00:52:11,840 –> 00:52:14,120
\nand Internet and all the rubbish
\nthat goes with it. <\/p>\n
764
\n00:52:14,120 –> 00:52:17,360
\nAll that that may not be in
\ntheir hearts and being burrowed <\/p>\n
765
\n00:52:17,360 –> 00:52:19,760
\ninto their hearts and burrowing
\ninto their hearts. <\/p>\n
766
\n00:52:19,760 –> 00:52:24,000
\nBut these things might be there.
\nAnd in our homes we preserve <\/p>\n
767
\n00:52:24,000 –> 00:52:29,040
\nthat.
\nWe realized that we too, like <\/p>\n
768
\n00:52:29,040 –> 00:52:33,600
\nDavid’s people, are of the
\nfathers of Abraham, Isaac and <\/p>\n
769
\n00:52:33,600 –> 00:52:38,960
\nJacob, strangers and sojours,
\nand hoping for the same <\/p>\n
770
\n00:52:38,960 –> 00:52:43,120
\nfulfilment as they hoped for the
\nsame fulfilment that David hoped<\/p>\n
771
\n00:52:43,120 –> 00:52:45,600
\nfor.
\nThou which has showed me great <\/p>\n
772
\n00:52:45,600 –> 00:52:47,760
\nand sore trouble, shall quicken
\nme. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:52:48,680 –> 00:52:51,760
\nWe are a separate people, my
\ndear young sisters, and let us <\/p>\n
774
\n00:52:51,760 –> 00:52:54,880
\npreserve the heritage that God
\nhas given us. <\/p>\n
