Class 3 from this series was used in GCT Episode 364.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:04,000 –> 00:00:07,920
\nsession In dealing with the
\noverall subject, I have set my <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:07,920 –> 00:00:10,080
\naffection to the House of my
\nGod. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:10,840 –> 00:00:14,880
\nHe’s entitled this session.
\nThe great congregation, Brother <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:14,880 –> 00:00:24,060
\nBrian.
\nAll looking very bright and <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:24,060 –> 00:00:25,500
\nhealthy.
\nAfter a. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:25,700 –> 00:00:31,060
\nLong day yesterday.
\nYou may remember that we <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:31,060 –> 00:00:33,880
\nactually didn’t look at chapter
\n24. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:33,960 –> 00:00:39,280
\nSo I’m picking up chapter 24 and
\nchapter 27 this morning and <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:39,360 –> 00:00:43,400
\nhopefully a little bit of
\nchapter 28 before memorial <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:43,400 –> 00:00:52,480
\nmeeting now in chapter 23, just
\nto get our bearings again. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:52,600 –> 00:00:57,280
\nIn chapter 23 it told us about
\nthe Levites, the 38,000 of them.<\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:58,600 –> 00:01:04,160
\nAnd in verse 13, among the
\nLevites, of course, was the sons<\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:04,160 –> 00:01:08,200
\nof Aaron.
\nSo verse 13 of chapter 23 said <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:08,680 –> 00:01:14,520
\nthe sons of Amram, Moses and
\nAaron’s father, and Aaron was <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:14,520 –> 00:01:18,040
\nseparated, that he should
\nsanctify the most holy things. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:19,120 –> 00:01:25,680
\nThat’s point #1 to to burn
\nincense before the Lord #3 to <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:25,680 –> 00:01:30,440
\nminister unto him, and #4 to
\nbless in his name forever. <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:31,200 –> 00:01:35,640
\nSo the blessing that was placed
\nupon Israel like in number six <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:35,640 –> 00:01:42,240
\nthat we that we use at the time
\nof baptism, that blessing was by<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:42,240 –> 00:01:44,040
\nAaron.
\nIf you look back in #6 you’ll <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:44,040 –> 00:01:48,040
\nsee that that was the case.
\nAnd then there’s the the list of<\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:48,040 –> 00:01:53,840
\nall of the other Levites and of
\ntheir particular duties, verses <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:53,840 –> 00:01:57,200
\n24 down to verse 32.
\nAnd we looked. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:57,200 –> 00:02:03,600
\nBriefly at those yesterday, but
\nin chapter. 24 we have the <\/p>\n
26
\n00:02:03,600 –> 00:02:07,320
\ndivision of the Sons of Aaron.
\nSo it’s picking that section up <\/p>\n
27
\n00:02:07,360 –> 00:02:09,919
\nand bringing it through to
\nchapter 24. <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:10,440 –> 00:02:13,000
\nAnd the next chapter will be
\nabout the singers. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:13,000 –> 00:02:15,960
\nSo you can see it’s quite an
\nordered construction, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:16,520 –> 00:02:22,600
\nIt’s really reorganizing all the
\nmain events of the Levites and <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:22,800 –> 00:02:27,520
\nthe the National events of that
\nnation. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:27,520 –> 00:02:30,920
\nHe he’s reorganizing it and
\nputting on a sound foundation. <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:31,360 –> 00:02:34,280
\nAs we saw yesterday, that plan
\nis going to continue through <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:34,280 –> 00:02:37,520
\nthen for hundreds of years.
\nSo these were very significant <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:37,520 –> 00:02:43,600
\nchapters for the Israelites.
\nNow these are the divisions of <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:43,600 –> 00:02:48,920
\nthe sons of Aaron.
\nHe had four sons, Nadeb and a <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:48,920 –> 00:02:57,040
\nBayou, Eliezer and Ithema.
\nBut then it explains that they <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:57,040 –> 00:03:02,200
\nwere suddenly produced, but
\nNative and Abiahu died before <\/p>\n
39
\n00:03:02,200 –> 00:03:05,040
\ntheir father and had no
\nchildren. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:03:06,400 –> 00:03:10,280
\nTherefore Eliezer and Iphemiah
\nexecuted the priest’s office. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:03:11,960 –> 00:03:15,760
\nThat is a pretty remarkable
\nthing to read, isn’t it, that <\/p>\n
42
\n00:03:15,760 –> 00:03:20,480
\nthe high priest had four sons
\nand lost 50% of them? <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:21,720 –> 00:03:25,240
\nAnd we know the record it’s
\ngiven in Leviticus chapter 10. <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:26,800 –> 00:03:30,560
\nIt really shows that God is no
\nrespecter of persons, doesn’t <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:30,560 –> 00:03:34,440
\nit?
\nThe high priest suddenly lost <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:34,440 –> 00:03:38,240
\ntwo of his sons.
\nRecord is in Leviticus chapter <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:38,240 –> 00:03:44,400
\n10.
\nSo when you read this chapter <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:44,400 –> 00:03:48,160
\nnext time in Leviticus chapter
\n10, make a little note for it <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:48,160 –> 00:03:51,160
\nthat Native and Abiahu are
\nreally the first and second <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:51,160 –> 00:03:53,320
\nsons.
\nThe high priesthood would have <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:53,320 –> 00:03:58,560
\ncome to native.
\nIt’s his name means willing by <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:58,560 –> 00:04:03,600
\nyou means he is my father.
\nThey were given names that the <\/p>\n
53
\n00:04:03,960 –> 00:04:07,160
\nthat Aaron would have liked to
\nhave thought were Speaking of <\/p>\n
54
\n00:04:07,160 –> 00:04:10,560
\ntheir their good attitudes
\ntowards the things of God. <\/p>\n
55
\n00:04:10,880 –> 00:04:16,079
\nThat he lost both those boys.
\nAnd the occasion is recorded <\/p>\n
56
\n00:04:16,880 –> 00:04:20,760
\nthis way.
\nAnd native and Abiahu the sons <\/p>\n
57
\n00:04:20,760 –> 00:04:24,880
\nof Aaron, took either of them
\nhis sensor, and put fire <\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:24,880 –> 00:04:29,160
\ntherein, and put incense
\nthereon, and offered strange <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:29,160 –> 00:04:33,160
\nfire before Yahweh, which he
\ncommanded them not. <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:34,960 –> 00:04:39,280
\nNow the command was, that if
\nthey put the coals upon the <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:39,280 –> 00:04:42,760
\nincense, that those coals should
\ncome in the altar of burnt <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:42,760 –> 00:04:45,600
\noffering.
\nSo that prayer that was offered <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:45,600 –> 00:04:49,560
\nup unto God, and this was the
\nidea of it should come from a <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:49,720 –> 00:04:55,400
\nwilling path, the burnt offering
\nwas to offer oneself unto God. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:56,400 –> 00:05:00,560
\nPrayer that is not like that is
\nnot acceptable to God. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:05:01,840 –> 00:05:04,440
\nBut they must have taken the
\ncoals from somewhere else. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:05:04,640 –> 00:05:07,760
\nPerhaps there were kitchen fires
\nor home fires and they thought, <\/p>\n
68
\n00:05:07,760 –> 00:05:10,400
\noh, well, you know, that’s
\nconvenient, that’s easier to get<\/p>\n
69
\n00:05:10,400 –> 00:05:12,280
\nto.
\nSo they took some coals from <\/p>\n
70
\n00:05:12,280 –> 00:05:15,280
\nthere, which is here described
\nas strange fire. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:05:15,840 –> 00:05:17,840
\nIt wasn’t a dedicated fire to
\nGod. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:05:18,280 –> 00:05:20,320
\nThat’s instructive, isn’t it?
\nVery instructive. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:20,800 –> 00:05:23,880
\nThere’s sometimes when our
\nprayers may seem very domestic, <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:24,520 –> 00:05:27,600
\nvery tired, perhaps because
\nwe’re finding it difficult to <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:27,600 –> 00:05:32,760
\nconcentrate like last night.
\nBut but God wants us when we <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:32,760 –> 00:05:35,480
\nlift our voice up unto him.
\nAnd if we speak to him, he wants<\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:35,480 –> 00:05:40,760
\nus to be all there, to be
\noffering a burnt offering. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:41,680 –> 00:05:44,560
\nOur heart is going toward him
\nwith all of our being. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:44,640 –> 00:05:48,360
\nIt’s a real challenge now it
\nsays in verse 2. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:48,400 –> 00:05:51,640
\nAnd there went out far from the
\nLord and devoured them, and they<\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:51,640 –> 00:05:55,640
\ndied before the Lord.
\nIf you just pass your eye out <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:55,640 –> 00:05:59,600
\nthe column, you’ll see in verse
\n24 that verse that we looked at,<\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:59,600 –> 00:06:02,800
\nin fact yesterday, didn’t we?
\nThere came a fire out from <\/p>\n
84
\n00:06:02,800 –> 00:06:06,000
\nbefore the Lord and consumed
\nupon the altar the burnt <\/p>\n
85
\n00:06:06,000 –> 00:06:10,280
\noffering and the fat which when
\nall the people saw, they shouted<\/p>\n
86
\n00:06:10,280 –> 00:06:14,400
\nand fell on their faces.
\nThat was God’s acceptance. 2 <\/p>\n
87
\n00:06:14,400 –> 00:06:17,560
\nverses down, it’s God’s
\ncondemnation. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:18,760 –> 00:06:21,320
\nSo God can be either for
\nacceptance or for our <\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:21,320 –> 00:06:23,560
\ncondemnation.
\nAnd that dramatically <\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:23,840 –> 00:06:29,600
\nillustrates that fact.
\nNow Moses always clear minded, <\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:29,680 –> 00:06:34,280
\nsaw the point of that.
\nThen Moses said unto Aaron, This<\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:34,280 –> 00:06:39,960
\nis it, that Yahweh spake,
\nsaying, I will be sanctified in <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:39,960 –> 00:06:44,200
\nthem, that come nigh me, and
\nbefore all the people I will be <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:44,200 –> 00:06:47,480
\nglorified.
\nAnd Aaron held his peace. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:48,680 –> 00:06:50,880
\nWhat if you can imagine what a
\ntragic name? <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:51,080 –> 00:06:54,000
\nWhat for?
\nYeah, his first and 2nd borders <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:54,960 –> 00:07:00,480
\nset to be the high priest in
\nturn were now struck dead before<\/p>\n
98
\n00:07:00,480 –> 00:07:03,840
\nhis presence.
\nHe had to hold his faces. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:07:04,640 –> 00:07:08,400
\nRemember the law said that he
\nwasn’t in fact to be involved <\/p>\n
100
\n00:07:08,400 –> 00:07:11,080
\nwith their their death.
\nHe wasn’t to mourn it with their<\/p>\n
101
\n00:07:11,080 –> 00:07:13,880
\ndeath.
\nHow could a father not mourn at <\/p>\n
102
\n00:07:13,880 –> 00:07:17,240
\nthe death of his two sons, but
\nbecause the work he was involved<\/p>\n
103
\n00:07:17,240 –> 00:07:21,560
\nin was sanctified before God and
\nof extreme importance, therefore<\/p>\n
104
\n00:07:21,560 –> 00:07:25,920
\nhe had to keep his mind upon
\nthat service, even though before<\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:25,920 –> 00:07:28,480
\nhim were these two borns who
\nwere dead. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:29,480 –> 00:07:31,720
\nAnd it seems that the reason for
\nthat was that they were <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:32,320 –> 00:07:36,040
\ninebriated with strong drink.
\nBecause out of that event it <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:36,040 –> 00:07:40,680
\nsays in verse 8, Yahweh spoke
\nunto Aaron, saying, Do not drink<\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:40,680 –> 00:07:45,480
\nwine, nor strong drink thou, nor
\nthy sons with thee, when you go <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:45,480 –> 00:07:49,400
\ninto the Tabernacle of the
\ncongregation, lest ye die, bless<\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:49,400 –> 00:07:52,160
\nye die.
\nIt shall be a statute forever <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:52,160 –> 00:07:55,600
\nthroughout your generations.
\nAnd that ye may put difference <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:55,600 –> 00:08:00,560
\nbetween holy and unholy, between
\nunclean and clean, and that ye <\/p>\n
114
\n00:08:00,560 –> 00:08:04,800
\nmay teach the children of Israel
\nall the statues which Yahweh had<\/p>\n
115
\n00:08:04,800 –> 00:08:06,840
\nspoken unto them by the hand of
\nMoses. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:08:08,280 –> 00:08:11,320
\nAnd Moses has spoken to Aaron,
\nand unto Elie Isa, and unto <\/p>\n
117
\n00:08:11,440 –> 00:08:13,840
\nIdema his sons.
\nThat’s the other two boys. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:08:13,880 –> 00:08:18,280
\nSee, take the meat offering that
\nremaineth, and so on. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:18,400 –> 00:08:22,400
\nSo those two boys now take over
\nwhere their older brothers had <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:22,400 –> 00:08:24,760
\nin fact perished.
\nWhat a terrible story, that one.<\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:26,240 –> 00:08:27,560
\nWell, very well to read it,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:27,920 –> 00:08:31,920
\nBut it was a terrible story, you
\nknow, that laid the foundations <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:32,440 –> 00:08:34,440
\nfor atonement, the principle of
\natonement. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:34,480 –> 00:08:36,760
\nThis father.
\nThere it turned out to Leviticus<\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:36,760 –> 00:08:45,680
\nchapter 16 is what it seems at
\nfirst a peculiar heading to this<\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:47,200 –> 00:08:51,080
\nthe legislation in Leviticus 16
\nof the Day of Atonement. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:54,360 –> 00:08:58,960
\nAnd there it says in verse one.
\nAnd the Lord spake unto Moses, <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:59,720 –> 00:09:04,840
\nafter the death of the two sons
\nof Aaron, when they offered <\/p>\n
129
\n00:09:04,840 –> 00:09:10,640
\nbefore Yahweh, and die.
\nAnd Yahweh said unto Moses, <\/p>\n
130
\n00:09:10,640 –> 00:09:14,400
\nSpeak unto Aaron thy brother,
\nthat he come not at all times <\/p>\n
131
\n00:09:15,720 –> 00:09:18,680
\ninto the holy place, within the
\nveil before the mercy seat, <\/p>\n
132
\n00:09:18,680 –> 00:09:23,080
\nwhich is upon the ark, that he
\ndie not, For I will appear in <\/p>\n
133
\n00:09:23,080 –> 00:09:24,520
\nthe cloud upon the mercy.
\nSeat. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:25,320 –> 00:09:27,280
\nWhat was the principle of that
\noccasion? <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:28,040 –> 00:09:32,880
\nPrinciple was as Moses picked it
\nup in verse 3 of chapter 10. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:33,680 –> 00:09:38,280
\nI will be sanctified in them
\nthat come nine me and before all<\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:38,280 –> 00:09:42,800
\nthe people I will be glorified.
\nThat’s a very interesting thing <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:42,800 –> 00:09:45,960
\nbecause if you would be asked
\nwhat’s the the principle <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:45,960 –> 00:09:50,040
\nprinciple as given in the New
\nTestament concerning the <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:50,040 –> 00:09:54,640
\natonement, you would say that it
\ndeclares the righteousness of <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:54,640 –> 00:09:56,440
\nGod.
\nThat’s what you’d say and you’d <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:56,440 –> 00:10:00,240
\nbe right.
\nRomans 3\/25\/26 is false. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:10:00,240 –> 00:10:02,240
\nComing to the crux of the
\nmatter, and that’s what he said <\/p>\n
144
\n00:10:02,920 –> 00:10:06,680
\nto declare, I say at this time
\nrepeating it, His righteousness <\/p>\n
145
\n00:10:07,280 –> 00:10:09,520
\nor the forgiveness of sins of
\nthe past. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:10:10,400 –> 00:10:13,440
\nAnd that’s exactly the same
\nthought that verse 3 is exactly <\/p>\n
147
\n00:10:15,640 –> 00:10:18,840
\nwhen we declare his
\nrighteousness, we sanctify him <\/p>\n
148
\n00:10:18,840 –> 00:10:25,400
\nand that’s what God wants.
\nAnd that becomes the rider to <\/p>\n
149
\n00:10:25,400 –> 00:10:27,280
\nthe Day of Atonement in
\nLeviticus 16. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:27,600 –> 00:10:30,320
\nNot one set of rules for
\natonement, the old another set <\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:30,320 –> 00:10:33,560
\nof rules that atonement you.
\nIt’s obviously the same <\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:33,560 –> 00:10:35,240
\nprinciple.
\nThat’s very interesting. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:35,680 –> 00:10:39,720
\nWell, that’s why back in
\nChronicles now, Native and <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:39,720 –> 00:10:44,600
\nAbayahu are commented as having
\ndied before their father. <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:45,560 –> 00:10:48,040
\nAnd they must have been
\nrelatively young men because it <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:48,040 –> 00:10:52,640
\nthen says they had no children,
\nso there was no future <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:52,640 –> 00:10:56,720
\ngeneration in their life.
\nThat meant their two younger <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:56,720 –> 00:10:59,640
\nbrothers had to come up and take
\ntheir place. <\/p>\n
159
\n00:11:00,400 –> 00:11:03,520
\nNow the first of these was
\nEliezer and the second was <\/p>\n
160
\n00:11:03,680 –> 00:11:06,680
\nIthema.
\nNow they’re not living of course<\/p>\n
161
\n00:11:06,680 –> 00:11:10,120
\nin the day, but David when this
\nis written, they were back in <\/p>\n
162
\n00:11:10,120 –> 00:11:16,400
\nMoses time, but they had each
\ntheir line, the Eliezer line and<\/p>\n
163
\n00:11:16,400 –> 00:11:19,640
\nthe Ithema line that had come
\ndown now to the days of David. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:11:20,120 –> 00:11:24,080
\nAnd David distributed them both
\nthe Zadok of the sons of <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:24,080 –> 00:11:28,640
\nEliezer, verse 3, and a Himelec
\nof the sons of Ithema, according<\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:28,640 –> 00:11:31,080
\nto their offices in their
\nservice. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:31,600 –> 00:11:36,560
\nSo obviously the eldest son in
\nthe line of Eliezer was now a <\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:36,560 –> 00:11:39,320
\nman called Zadok, which means
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:40,440 –> 00:11:45,680
\nAnd in the line of Ithema, the
\nman who was the eldest in that <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:45,680 –> 00:11:49,200
\nfamily at this time of David’s
\nlife was Ahimelech. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:49,720 –> 00:11:53,600
\nSo Zadok and Ahimelech were the
\nmodern day representatives in <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:53,600 –> 00:11:59,960
\nDavid’s life of those two lines
\nof the sons of error, it says. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:12:00,240 –> 00:12:04,120
\nAnd there were more chief men
\nfound of the sons of Elijah than<\/p>\n
174
\n00:12:04,120 –> 00:12:08,400
\nof the sons of Ithmah.
\nAnd thus were they divided among<\/p>\n
175
\n00:12:08,400 –> 00:12:11,800
\nthe sons of Elijah.
\nThere were 16 chief men of the <\/p>\n
176
\n00:12:11,800 –> 00:12:15,760
\nHouse of their fathers, and
\neight among the sons of Ithmah. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:12:16,760 –> 00:12:19,840
\nHow many does 16 + 8 make?
\nSo these are 24. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:19,920 –> 00:12:22,600
\nAgain.
\nThat’s pretty consistent, isn’t <\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:22,600 –> 00:12:24,040
\nit?
\nYou see in the next chapter <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:24,280 –> 00:12:28,520
\nthere’s 24 groups of singers.
\nThe very real logic of that <\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:28,520 –> 00:12:31,720
\nwould be that as a group of
\npriests are going in on their <\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:31,760 –> 00:12:37,040
\ncourse, I don’t know how, how
\noften it was, but there’s 12 <\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:37,040 –> 00:12:38,720
\nmonths.
\nAnd if there were 24 orders, I <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:38,720 –> 00:12:42,320
\nsuppose it’s reasonable to say
\nthey, their term would come each<\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:42,320 –> 00:12:45,840
\nyear for a fortnight of that, of
\nthat period. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:47,520 –> 00:12:50,720
\nAnd so as they went in, there
\nwould be a company of of new <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:50,720 –> 00:12:53,440
\nsingers, players on the
\ninstruments that would have come<\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:53,440 –> 00:12:55,160
\nfrom him.
\nSo the offerings were given with<\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:55,160 –> 00:12:57,480
\nsong and praise.
\nIt was a beautiful concept. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:57,840 –> 00:13:01,600
\nAnd undoubtedly that’s the kind
\nof thing that’s going to prevail<\/p>\n
191
\n00:13:01,600 –> 00:13:03,200
\nin the future.
\nThe temple is going to be a <\/p>\n
192
\n00:13:03,200 –> 00:13:07,480
\nplace of prayer for all nations,
\nbut people want to come because <\/p>\n
193
\n00:13:07,480 –> 00:13:10,760
\nit will be a lovely atmosphere
\nin that place. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:11,760 –> 00:13:13,560
\nAnd thus were they divided by
\nlot. <\/p>\n
195
\n00:13:13,560 –> 00:13:17,680
\nIt says in verse 51 sort with
\nanother for the governors of the<\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:17,680 –> 00:13:21,400
\nsanctuary and governors of the
\nHouse of God. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:21,720 –> 00:13:24,000
\nThe word governors is the word
\nfor Princess. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:25,040 –> 00:13:29,880
\nIt’s the word SAR SAR.
\nYou’ve got it in the word <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:29,880 –> 00:13:34,160
\nIsrael, a Prince with God and
\nit’s a very general earth. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:35,400 –> 00:13:40,600
\nYou look across to chapter 28.
\nYou see, it’s used all through <\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:40,600 –> 00:13:44,640
\nthis verse.
\nChapter 28, verse one David <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:44,640 –> 00:13:46,120
\nassembled.
\nAll. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:46,120 –> 00:13:51,680
\nThe Princess of Israel, the
\nPrincess of the tribes, the <\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:52,200 –> 00:13:54,320
\nPrincess of the cap of the
\ncompany. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:55,480 –> 00:13:58,560
\nThe verse is actually translated
\ndifferently. the AV has <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:58,560 –> 00:14:01,120
\ntranslated differently as you go
\ndown, but it’s actually the same<\/p>\n
207
\n00:14:01,120 –> 00:14:05,920
\nword that ministered to the king
\nby corpse and the captains. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:14:05,920 –> 00:14:09,760
\nThat’s the same word.
\nThe Tsar over the thousands, <\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:10,680 –> 00:14:14,800
\nCaptain Tsar over the Hundreds
\nand the stewards Tsar. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:14,800 –> 00:14:17,320
\nOver all the substance.
\nPossession of the king. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:18,120 –> 00:14:21,320
\nTheir sons would be officers.
\nAnd that’s the same word again <\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:21,840 –> 00:14:26,480
\nwith the mighty men and all the
\nthe valiant men hunt Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:27,200 –> 00:14:30,800
\nSo it’s a very general word to
\nspeak of those who were in high <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:30,800 –> 00:14:33,960
\noffice in positions of great
\nrespect. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:34,800 –> 00:14:39,320
\nSo if we could bring that back
\nto chapter 24, verse 5, you will<\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:39,320 –> 00:14:45,200
\nsee that the priests were not
\njust not just priests, they were<\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:45,400 –> 00:14:48,240
\nPrincess.
\nThey were highly recognized <\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:48,360 –> 00:14:52,440
\npeople, they were king priests.
\nThere was an element of <\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:52,560 –> 00:14:59,280
\ngovernorship about them.
\nAnd so that also of course shows<\/p>\n
220
\n00:14:59,280 –> 00:15:01,320
\nit’s it’s own way to the future,
\ndoesn’t it? <\/p>\n
221
\n00:15:01,920 –> 00:15:05,040
\nIf we just at this point come
\nthrough to Revelation Chapter 5,<\/p>\n
222
\n00:15:05,360 –> 00:15:11,240
\nyou’ll see that I’ve referred to
\nthis obliquely a couple of <\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:11,240 –> 00:15:14,960
\ntimes, but just see how clearly
\nall these things are brought <\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:14,960 –> 00:15:23,720
\ntogether.
\nIn Revelation chapter 5, I <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:23,720 –> 00:15:27,560
\nbeheld and lo, in the midst of
\nthe throne, verse 6 and of the <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:27,560 –> 00:15:32,080
\nfour beasts, and in the midst of
\nthe elders stood a lamb as it <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:32,080 –> 00:15:35,840
\nhad been slain, having 7 horns
\nand seven eyes, which are the <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:35,840 –> 00:15:38,400
\nseven spirits of God sent forth
\ninto all the earth. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:39,200 –> 00:15:41,440
\nAnd he came and took the book
\nout of the right hand of him <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:41,440 –> 00:15:44,640
\nthat sat upon the throne.
\nAnd when he had taken the book, <\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:45,080 –> 00:15:50,560
\nthe four beasts and the four and
\n20 elders, a person who read <\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:50,560 –> 00:15:53,600
\nthat would have immediately,
\nsurely from the first time it <\/p>\n
233
\n00:15:53,600 –> 00:15:57,160
\nwas read, would have thought of
\nthe 24 that goes all through <\/p>\n
234
\n00:15:57,160 –> 00:16:01,240
\nthose chapters and chronicles.
\nSo there were 24 elders. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:16:01,240 –> 00:16:04,680
\nThey fell down before the Lamb,
\nhaving every one of them harps <\/p>\n
236
\n00:16:04,680 –> 00:16:08,080
\nand golden vials full of odors,
\nwhich are the prayers of Saints.<\/p>\n
237
\n00:16:08,080 –> 00:16:12,800
\nSo there’s the office of the of
\nthe priest in the offering of <\/p>\n
238
\n00:16:12,840 –> 00:16:16,560
\nincense, which is the prayers of
\nSaints interpreted. <\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:17,480 –> 00:16:21,240
\nAnd they sung a new song, so
\nthat the singers and the players<\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:21,240 –> 00:16:24,720
\nand instruments, this is a new
\nsong that’s never been sung. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:25,760 –> 00:16:29,120
\nWith immortal liberty.
\nThou art worthy to take the book<\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:29,120 –> 00:16:32,680
\nand to open the seals thereof.
\nFor thou wast slain, and has <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:32,680 –> 00:16:36,040
\nredeemed us to God by thy blood,
\nand of every kindred and tongue <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:36,040 –> 00:16:39,760
\nand people and nation.
\nSo there’s 24 because they were <\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:39,760 –> 00:16:43,240
\ntaken from not just Israel of
\nold, but from the new Israel <\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:43,240 –> 00:16:46,880
\nfrom all nations of every
\nkindred and tongue and people <\/p>\n
247
\n00:16:46,880 –> 00:16:51,080
\nand nation.
\nThis made us unto our God, kings<\/p>\n
248
\n00:16:52,080 –> 00:16:54,440
\nand priests, and we shall reign
\non the earth. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:16:55,400 –> 00:16:58,920
\nSo all of these officers are
\ncombined together in a new order<\/p>\n
250
\n00:16:58,920 –> 00:17:01,400
\nof 24 elders, symbolically
\nexpressed. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:17:02,000 –> 00:17:02,880
\nThat’s.
\nBeautiful, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:03,640 –> 00:17:06,920
\nThough we can see that these
\nthings clearly are a prototype <\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:06,920 –> 00:17:09,480
\nof things to come.
\nSo if we come back to First <\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:09,480 –> 00:17:18,440
\nChronicles 24.
\nAgain, you notice here that <\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:18,440 –> 00:17:23,280
\nDavid knows about protocol.
\nHe knows the wisdom of of wise <\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:23,280 –> 00:17:27,359
\nprotocol.
\nI just mentioned again, in <\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:28,040 –> 00:17:31,840
\nearthly life, don’t be
\napprehensive about having some <\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:31,840 –> 00:17:36,200
\nprotocols, not something that’s
\nstiff and rigid about something <\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:36,200 –> 00:17:40,640
\nthat’s warm and godly and
\nsanctifies God’s name in our <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:40,720 –> 00:17:42,840
\nassembly.
\nThat’s a good thing. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:43,840 –> 00:17:45,920
\nAnd David could see the the
\nvirtue of that. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:17:47,360 –> 00:17:50,040
\nYou know, I’ve never really seen
\nanything that’s LAX and <\/p>\n
263
\n00:17:50,120 –> 00:17:52,080
\nlackadaisical.
\nI’ve never seen that grow. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:17:53,160 –> 00:17:56,000
\nI’ve never, ever seen something
\nthat’s casual and indifferent <\/p>\n
265
\n00:17:56,000 –> 00:17:59,120
\ngrowth.
\nI have seen something where the <\/p>\n
266
\n00:17:59,120 –> 00:18:02,280
\nzeal and enthusiasm, desire to
\nkeep things up, I’ve seen that <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:02,280 –> 00:18:04,080
\ngrow.
\nI’ve never seen the other <\/p>\n
268
\n00:18:04,080 –> 00:18:04,840
\ngrowth.
\nHave you? <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:05,680 –> 00:18:07,880
\nIt just dissipates.
\nChildren come along and sell <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:07,880 –> 00:18:08,720
\nthem.
\nWell, that’s all. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:18:08,720 –> 00:18:11,560
\nThat’s been the reason.
\nOh, well, I’ve gone off the gang<\/p>\n
272
\n00:18:11,640 –> 00:18:12,920
\nof baseball.
\nLet’s do that. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:13,840 –> 00:18:16,560
\nBut where there’s a zeal and
\nenthusiasm to keep something up <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:16,680 –> 00:18:21,000
\nand a sanctity, then that is
\nwhat seems to grow. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:21,320 –> 00:18:23,240
\nIt’s a great lesson in our
\npresent world. <\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:23,880 –> 00:18:28,400
\nIn First Chronicles 24, verse 6,
\nit says and Shemaya, the son of <\/p>\n
277
\n00:18:28,400 –> 00:18:33,280
\nNephenille the scribe, one of
\nthe Levites, wrote them before <\/p>\n
278
\n00:18:33,280 –> 00:18:34,920
\nthe king.
\nNow isn’t that interesting? <\/p>\n
279
\n00:18:35,680 –> 00:18:39,400
\nHe wrote them before the king.
\nSee how David was? <\/p>\n
280
\n00:18:39,600 –> 00:18:40,720
\nHe’s a clever.
\nMan, wasn’t he? <\/p>\n
281
\n00:18:41,680 –> 00:18:43,920
\nThis wasn’t going to be
\ninaugurated in, you know, some <\/p>\n
282
\n00:18:43,920 –> 00:18:47,240
\nback backroom where there was
\njust these men present. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:18:47,480 –> 00:18:51,200
\nIt would be done properly in
\nfront of people that that those <\/p>\n
284
\n00:18:51,200 –> 00:18:55,480
\nyoung men would really be
\naffected by how important their <\/p>\n
285
\n00:18:55,480 –> 00:18:58,800
\noffice office was and how
\nimportant it was indeed. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:18:59,840 –> 00:19:03,360
\nSo he wrote the.
\nBefore the and the Princess, and<\/p>\n
287
\n00:19:03,360 –> 00:19:07,600
\nZadok the priest, the high
\nPrince and a hymbal his <\/p>\n
288
\n00:19:07,600 –> 00:19:10,600
\ncompanion.
\nThe son of A by that’s the two <\/p>\n
289
\n00:19:10,600 –> 00:19:15,560
\nthat are mentioned in verse 3
\nand before the chief of the <\/p>\n
290
\n00:19:15,640 –> 00:19:20,080
\nfathers of the priests and
\nLevites, the older man 1 <\/p>\n
291
\n00:19:20,160 –> 00:19:24,920
\nprincipal household being taken
\nfor Eliezer and one taken for <\/p>\n
292
\n00:19:25,040 –> 00:19:30,680
\nHippamah.
\nAnd it was decided by not the <\/p>\n
293
\n00:19:30,680 –> 00:19:37,400
\nfirst lot came forth to Jehoiah
\nRiver, the second to Jedi Iah. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:19:38,120 –> 00:19:42,760
\nNow some of these were from the
\nHouse of Eliezer originally, and<\/p>\n
295
\n00:19:42,760 –> 00:19:47,400
\nsome from the House of Ithema.
\nAnd eight of them were from <\/p>\n
296
\n00:19:47,800 –> 00:19:51,960
\nIthema, and 16 from the House of
\nEliezer. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:19:52,400 –> 00:19:57,000
\nAnd so their names are given
\nfrom verse 7 down to verse 18. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:19:57,680 –> 00:20:02,760
\nThese were the orderings of them
\nin their service, verse 19, to <\/p>\n
299
\n00:20:02,760 –> 00:20:06,360
\ncome into the House of the Lord,
\naccording to their manner under <\/p>\n
300
\n00:20:06,360 –> 00:20:10,640
\nAaron their father.
\nAs the Lord God of Israel had <\/p>\n
301
\n00:20:10,640 –> 00:20:15,200
\ncommanded, so God perpetuates
\ntherefore the lion of fear. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:20:16,760 –> 00:20:20,480
\nAnd it says, And the rest of the
\nsons of Levi were these of the <\/p>\n
303
\n00:20:20,480 –> 00:20:25,480
\nsons of Amram, and so on.
\nAnd it gives her a description <\/p>\n
304
\n00:20:25,480 –> 00:20:26,920
\nof all of these people.
\nAnd you think, well. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:20:26,920 –> 00:20:30,640
\nWhy has this been?
\nPut on on the end, there’s some <\/p>\n
306
\n00:20:30,640 –> 00:20:36,560
\nthat have come from of Amram
\nverse 20 and he’s the oldest son<\/p>\n
307
\n00:20:36,560 –> 00:20:40,080
\nof Kohabis.
\nAnd in verse 22 of the <\/p>\n
308
\n00:20:40,080 –> 00:20:43,640
\nIsraelites.
\nWell, that was Kohad’s second <\/p>\n
309
\n00:20:43,640 –> 00:20:49,040
\nchild and R.E.M., Isha, Aziel
\nand Hebron, those four children.<\/p>\n
310
\n00:20:50,080 –> 00:20:54,080
\nSo Hebron’s mentioned in verse
\n23 and Aziel’s mentioned in <\/p>\n
311
\n00:20:54,080 –> 00:20:56,720
\nverse 20. 4.
\nSo again, there’s order in it, <\/p>\n
312
\n00:20:57,000 –> 00:20:59,200
\nbut we left out the other parts
\nof the Levites know. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:20:59,400 –> 00:21:02,720
\nVerse 26.
\nThe sons of Murali were Mali and<\/p>\n
314
\n00:21:02,720 –> 00:21:05,760
\nMushi and so on.
\nThe Sons of Murali by Jezia. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:21:05,760 –> 00:21:09,160
\nVerse 27.
\nSo they’re all brought into the <\/p>\n
316
\n00:21:09,160 –> 00:21:13,800
\npicture.
\nThen it says why he’s mentioned <\/p>\n
317
\n00:21:13,800 –> 00:21:16,240
\nthese names.
\nThese were obviously principal <\/p>\n
318
\n00:21:16,240 –> 00:21:20,040
\npeople of the Levites.
\nWell, verse 31 says these <\/p>\n
319
\n00:21:20,040 –> 00:21:25,560
\nlikewise casts lots over against
\ntheir brethren, the sons of <\/p>\n
320
\n00:21:25,560 –> 00:21:29,320
\nAaron in the presence of the
\nsame people that are mentioned <\/p>\n
321
\n00:21:29,320 –> 00:21:32,240
\nin verse 6.
\nThey cast lots over against <\/p>\n
322
\n00:21:32,240 –> 00:21:35,480
\ntheir brethren, the sons of
\nAaron in the presence of David <\/p>\n
323
\n00:21:35,480 –> 00:21:39,440
\nthe king.
\nVerse 6, David the king, and <\/p>\n
324
\n00:21:39,440 –> 00:21:42,800
\nZadok and Himilek verse 6, Zadok
\nand Himilek. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:21:43,720 –> 00:21:47,720
\nAnd the chief of the fathers of
\nthe priests and Levites is verse<\/p>\n
326
\n00:21:47,720 –> 00:21:51,920
\n6 again, even the principal
\nfathers over against the younger<\/p>\n
327
\n00:21:51,920 –> 00:21:53,320
\nbrethren.
\nIsn’t that interesting? <\/p>\n
328
\n00:21:53,960 –> 00:21:56,920
\nThat really is interesting.
\nSo here we’ve got all these <\/p>\n
329
\n00:21:57,040 –> 00:22:01,640
\nheads of the other Levites.
\nThey were the ones that cast <\/p>\n
330
\n00:22:01,640 –> 00:22:03,080
\nlots.
\nYou might say, well, why don’t <\/p>\n
331
\n00:22:03,080 –> 00:22:04,600
\nyou just get one man to cast
\nlots? <\/p>\n
332
\n00:22:04,600 –> 00:22:08,520
\nThat’d be good enough, wouldn’t
\na couple of lovely little <\/p>\n
333
\n00:22:08,560 –> 00:22:13,280
\nproverbs about about the lots.
\nProverbs 18, verse 18. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:22:21,310 –> 00:22:28,630
\nThe lot causes contentions to
\ncease and part it between the <\/p>\n
335
\n00:22:28,630 –> 00:22:40,720
\nmighty.
\nChapter 16, Verse 33 The lot is <\/p>\n
336
\n00:22:40,720 –> 00:22:46,960
\ncast into the lap, but the whole
\ndisposing thereof is of the <\/p>\n
337
\n00:22:46,960 –> 00:22:49,920
\nLord.
\nThe lot is cast into the lap, <\/p>\n
338
\n00:22:51,160 –> 00:22:54,600
\nbut the whole disposing thereof
\nis of the Lord. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:22:55,560 –> 00:22:58,920
\nAnd so contentions were to cease
\non that basis. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:23:00,480 –> 00:23:04,840
\nAnd the way it was done was He
\nwas the king and he was the high<\/p>\n
341
\n00:23:04,840 –> 00:23:08,920
\npriest and his companion were
\nboth main families. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:23:09,840 –> 00:23:12,840
\nAnd then there were the chief of
\nthe fathers of the priests and <\/p>\n
343
\n00:23:12,840 –> 00:23:18,840
\nthe Levites, older men and these
\nother men here that were chosen <\/p>\n
344
\n00:23:18,880 –> 00:23:22,640
\nfrom the other branches of Levi
\nversus 2030. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:23:22,880 –> 00:23:24,960
\nThey were the ones that cast
\nthem off. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:23:25,680 –> 00:23:29,000
\nSo I guess that what that means
\nis that not one individual did <\/p>\n
347
\n00:23:29,040 –> 00:23:31,240
\nall of that.
\nYou know what casting the lot <\/p>\n
348
\n00:23:31,240 –> 00:23:32,960
\nis?
\nYou take the various names into <\/p>\n
349
\n00:23:33,240 –> 00:23:37,400
\ninto the lap and the lap is is
\nshaken and then somebody comes <\/p>\n
350
\n00:23:37,400 –> 00:23:41,600
\nand takes a name from that.
\nWhat do you think God did it <\/p>\n
351
\n00:23:41,600 –> 00:23:47,040
\nlike that?
\nDoesn’t really say why he did it<\/p>\n
352
\n00:23:47,080 –> 00:23:48,760
\nexcept.
\nThat it made contentions to <\/p>\n
353
\n00:23:48,760 –> 00:23:51,240
\ncease.
\nBut I suppose there would be <\/p>\n
354
\n00:23:51,240 –> 00:23:54,400
\nalways a sort of jockeying, you
\nknow, where are you in the line?<\/p>\n
355
\n00:23:54,400 –> 00:23:57,760
\nOh, I’m first or on 28th.
\nOh, but I’m a lot better off. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:23:57,840 –> 00:24:03,640
\nYou’re 24th down the line, but
\nif it was done by the lot, <\/p>\n
357
\n00:24:03,680 –> 00:24:07,520
\nnobody could argue could that
\nand remember that down the line.<\/p>\n
358
\n00:24:07,520 –> 00:24:11,240
\nThis became a very contentious
\nthing because the priesthood was<\/p>\n
359
\n00:24:11,240 –> 00:24:15,520
\na, was a a.
\nPrize in the days of Jesus and <\/p>\n
360
\n00:24:15,520 –> 00:24:20,280
\nthe Sadducees had bought that,
\nhadn’t they Remember how that <\/p>\n
361
\n00:24:20,640 –> 00:24:23,600
\nthat they had actually bought
\nthat because a wealthy group of <\/p>\n
362
\n00:24:23,600 –> 00:24:25,960
\npeople.
\nAnd because they had the <\/p>\n
363
\n00:24:25,960 –> 00:24:27,680
\npriesthood, they therefore had
\nthe power. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:24:29,280 –> 00:24:32,000
\nBut this way it was all done in
\nthe open. <\/p>\n
365
\n00:24:32,160 –> 00:24:35,400
\nThere was the king, 2 main
\nbranches of the Levites and <\/p>\n
366
\n00:24:35,400 –> 00:24:40,480
\nother people came along and they
\nexercised the lot in front of <\/p>\n
367
\n00:24:40,480 –> 00:24:42,280
\nthese principal people.
\nSo when you think about this <\/p>\n
368
\n00:24:42,280 –> 00:24:45,160
\nvery wise thing, wasn’t it?
\nThere’s all those names, you <\/p>\n
369
\n00:24:45,160 –> 00:24:46,320
\nthink, well, why are they
\nmentioned? <\/p>\n
370
\n00:24:46,600 –> 00:24:50,720
\nBut verse 31 is the key.
\nLike they likewise cast lots <\/p>\n
371
\n00:24:51,400 –> 00:24:55,200
\nover against their breath.
\nSo it was brethren casting lots <\/p>\n
372
\n00:24:55,200 –> 00:25:00,240
\nabout their breath, so that
\nalthough they were going to be <\/p>\n
373
\n00:25:00,520 –> 00:25:06,040
\nnot priests, these others from
\nMerari and from Amram and so on,<\/p>\n
374
\n00:25:06,800 –> 00:25:09,040
\nalthough they were not going to
\nbe priests, yet nevertheless <\/p>\n
375
\n00:25:09,080 –> 00:25:11,560
\nthey were involved in the very
\nselection of the priesthood <\/p>\n
376
\n00:25:12,000 –> 00:25:14,760
\nbecause God was working through
\nthem through the lot. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:25:14,760 –> 00:25:18,480
\nAnd wasn’t that a wise thing?
\nWho could therefore call in <\/p>\n
378
\n00:25:18,480 –> 00:25:21,320
\nquestion the matter?
\nOr those who weren’t priests, <\/p>\n
379
\n00:25:21,320 –> 00:25:22,640
\ncould they call in question the
\nmatter? <\/p>\n
380
\n00:25:22,640 –> 00:25:25,480
\nNo, they were involved in the
\nprocess by which the priests <\/p>\n
381
\n00:25:25,480 –> 00:25:27,000
\nwere put into their particular
\norder. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:25:27,680 –> 00:25:29,800
\nIt was a very wise thing, wasn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n
383
\n00:25:29,800 –> 00:25:32,960
\nExtremely wise, the way that was
\nall put together. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:25:33,400 –> 00:25:36,800
\nAnd so these younger men were
\ninducted into their office with <\/p>\n
385
\n00:25:36,800 –> 00:25:38,560
\ngeneral accord of all the
\nLevites. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:25:38,560 –> 00:25:43,400
\nThere was a participating role
\nof all the Levites that were <\/p>\n
387
\n00:25:43,400 –> 00:25:46,800
\nrepresented in that choice.
\nAnd the order wasn’t gone that. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:25:47,800 –> 00:25:51,240
\nWas a very wonderful thing.
\nAll right, let’s come over to <\/p>\n
389
\n00:25:51,240 –> 00:25:53,000
\nthe chapter that we read this
\nmorning. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:25:57,160 –> 00:26:05,720
\nChapter 27.
\nPassover, the singers and the <\/p>\n
391
\n00:26:05,720 –> 00:26:10,400
\nporters, as we know Bill
\nKeepers, and we come now to the <\/p>\n
392
\n00:26:11,640 –> 00:26:16,520
\nthe children of Israel after
\ntheir number, to which the chief<\/p>\n
393
\n00:26:16,920 –> 00:26:20,840
\nfathers and captains of
\nthousands of hundreds and their <\/p>\n
394
\n00:26:20,840 –> 00:26:26,600
\nofficers that serve the King in
\nany matter of the courses. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:26:27,240 –> 00:26:32,640
\nWhich came in and went out month
\nby month throughout all the <\/p>\n
396
\n00:26:32,640 –> 00:26:37,840
\nmonths of the year of every
\ncourse were 20 and 4000. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:26:38,400 –> 00:26:41,880
\nNow there’s twelve of these
\nmentioned, and they go from <\/p>\n
398
\n00:26:41,880 –> 00:26:46,840
\nverse 2 to verse 15, verse 15,
\nthe 12th cup to. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:26:47,080 –> 00:26:50,560
\nThe 12th month was still down
\nso. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:26:50,680 –> 00:26:56,200
\nThey’re on a monthly routine.
\nIt’s a course of one month. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:26:58,080 –> 00:27:03,040
\nJust keep your hand there.
\nSamuel had told them about this <\/p>\n
402
\n00:27:03,040 –> 00:27:07,040
\nin First Samuel Chapter 8 when
\nthey had requested a king. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:27:07,560 –> 00:27:10,480
\nHe saw very clearly what this
\nwould mean. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:27:10,760 –> 00:27:18,240
\nIn First Samuel chapter 8.
\nYou can’t have a Kingdom unless <\/p>\n
405
\n00:27:18,240 –> 00:27:20,680
\nyou’re going to have a lot of
\npersonnel involved. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:27:22,080 –> 00:27:27,360
\nA Kingdom is a great thing, but
\nit requires a great deal of <\/p>\n
407
\n00:27:27,440 –> 00:27:32,440
\npublic service.
\nIn chapter 8 verse 10, when they<\/p>\n
408
\n00:27:32,440 –> 00:27:35,520
\nhad cried for king, God had
\nsaid, give them one. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:27:36,320 –> 00:27:40,160
\nSamuel told all the words of the
\nLord unto the people that asked <\/p>\n
410
\n00:27:40,160 –> 00:27:45,440
\nof him a king, and he said, This
\nwill be the manner of the king <\/p>\n
411
\n00:27:45,480 –> 00:27:48,400
\nthat shall reign over you.
\nGet it straight, he said. <\/p>\n
412
\n00:27:48,640 –> 00:27:50,720
\nYou want a man over you, but
\nthis is what it means. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:27:51,440 –> 00:27:53,040
\nIt doesn’t mean just choosing
\none man. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:27:53,320 –> 00:27:55,000
\nYou know he lives in his own
\nsalary. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:27:55,280 –> 00:27:58,200
\nWhen you have a king, you’re
\ngoing to have to keep that <\/p>\n
416
\n00:27:58,200 –> 00:28:03,280
\nroyalty up.
\nHe will take your sons and <\/p>\n
417
\n00:28:03,280 –> 00:28:08,760
\nappoint them for himself, for
\nhis Chariots, to be his <\/p>\n
418
\n00:28:08,760 –> 00:28:12,120
\nhorseman, and some shall run
\nbefore his Chariots. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:28:12,360 –> 00:28:15,520
\nWhich is exactly, of course,
\nwhat Absalom did and a donager <\/p>\n
420
\n00:28:15,520 –> 00:28:17,600
\ndid when they usurped the
\nKingdom. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:28:18,200 –> 00:28:21,680
\nThose very phrases are used 50
\nmillion to run before them. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:28:22,360 –> 00:28:25,640
\nHe will appoint him captains
\nover thousands and captains over<\/p>\n
423
\n00:28:25,640 –> 00:28:30,440
\n50s and will set them to ear his
\nground and to reap his harvest. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:28:30,760 –> 00:28:32,440
\nOh yes, he’s going to have his
\nown grounds. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:28:33,040 –> 00:28:34,440
\nHe’s going to have very big
\nkitchens. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:28:34,440 –> 00:28:36,400
\nHe’s got to have a whole lot of
\npeople cooking in those <\/p>\n
427
\n00:28:36,400 –> 00:28:37,680
\nkitchens.
\nHe’s got to have food. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:28:38,720 –> 00:28:41,560
\nSo he’s going to have to point
\npeople over, over the <\/p>\n
429
\n00:28:41,560 –> 00:28:43,680
\nterritories which he will take
\nto himself. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:28:45,200 –> 00:28:48,720
\nSo some of your grounds going to
\nhave to go to him to ear his <\/p>\n
431
\n00:28:48,720 –> 00:28:52,240
\nground and to reap his harvest
\nand to make his instruments of <\/p>\n
432
\n00:28:52,240 –> 00:28:54,520
\nwar and instruments of his
\nchallenge. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:28:55,440 –> 00:28:57,960
\nAnd he’ll take your daughters to
\nbe confectionaries and be cooks <\/p>\n
434
\n00:28:57,960 –> 00:29:00,200
\nand to be bakers.
\nAnd he’ll take your foods and <\/p>\n
435
\n00:29:00,200 –> 00:29:01,640
\nyour vineyards and your olive
\nyards. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:29:01,880 –> 00:29:03,120
\nEven the best of them, of
\ncourse, the king. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:29:03,120 –> 00:29:04,560
\n‘S going to have the best he’s
\ngoing to have second. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:29:04,760 –> 00:29:07,680
\nSecond best and give them to his
\nservants. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:29:08,600 –> 00:29:11,280
\nTake the 10th of your seed and
\nof your vineyards, and give to <\/p>\n
440
\n00:29:11,280 –> 00:29:15,200
\nhis servants.
\nHe’ll take your men servants and<\/p>\n
441
\n00:29:15,200 –> 00:29:17,200
\nyour maidservants and your
\ngoodliest young men. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:29:18,040 –> 00:29:21,040
\nThere’s someone around him
\nthat’s got a broken leg or a bad<\/p>\n
443
\n00:29:21,040 –> 00:29:22,840
\nfoot or something.
\nHe’s going to have a young man <\/p>\n
444
\n00:29:22,840 –> 00:29:25,880
\nand all his health and strength
\nand your ass and put them to his<\/p>\n
445
\n00:29:25,880 –> 00:29:28,000
\nword.
\nTake the tent of your sheep and <\/p>\n
446
\n00:29:28,680 –> 00:29:32,120
\nhe shall be his servant.
\nThat’s true. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:29:33,240 –> 00:29:36,160
\nCan’t have a Kingdom unless
\nyou’re going to keep it up. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:29:36,800 –> 00:29:46,040
\nSo in Chapter 27, we have the
\nmeans by which in David’s day <\/p>\n
449
\n00:29:46,240 –> 00:29:48,880
\nthat was going to be kept up and
\nhe had it organized. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:29:48,880 –> 00:29:50,160
\nAnd this is an interesting
\nthing. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:29:50,600 –> 00:29:53,560
\nHe had it organized on a monthly
\nbasis. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:29:54,160 –> 00:29:56,800
\nAnd the question that comes to
\nyou is then, well, what about <\/p>\n
453
\n00:29:56,800 –> 00:30:01,160
\nthe other eleven months when
\nthey weren’t in the King’s <\/p>\n
454
\n00:30:01,160 –> 00:30:04,760
\nservice?
\nWell, they were back on their <\/p>\n
455
\n00:30:04,760 –> 00:30:08,200
\nown properties.
\nThat’s interesting because we <\/p>\n
456
\n00:30:08,200 –> 00:30:12,760
\nhave a public service that have
\ngrown used to the fact that one <\/p>\n
457
\n00:30:12,760 –> 00:30:16,040
\nof the endless discussions of
\ngovernment is how big the public<\/p>\n
458
\n00:30:16,040 –> 00:30:18,440
\nservice.
\nOne party comes in and cuts it <\/p>\n
459
\n00:30:18,440 –> 00:30:21,600
\ndown, the other party comes in
\nand builds it up again, and so <\/p>\n
460
\n00:30:21,600 –> 00:30:22,880
\nit goes on.
\nMuch the same in the US. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:30:22,880 –> 00:30:25,680
\nIt’s been a phenomenon in our
\nlives. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:30:26,080 –> 00:30:28,080
\nBut see the wisdom of this.
\nThere was no. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:30:28,280 –> 00:30:31,440
\nPermanent public service man for
\n11 months. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:30:31,480 –> 00:30:35,480
\nHe stood on his own feet.
\nHe came in in a privileged <\/p>\n
465
\n00:30:35,560 –> 00:30:40,400
\nposition about the King’s
\nservice month by month. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:30:40,600 –> 00:30:43,400
\nVerse one of all the months of
\nthe year. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:30:44,360 –> 00:30:48,240
\nBut he wasn’t permanent as a
\nLeech on the whole. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:30:48,440 –> 00:30:51,960
\nRest of the society, which is
\nthe great gripe we find in our <\/p>\n
469
\n00:30:51,960 –> 00:30:56,840
\ncommunities.
\nPublic service grows yawns with <\/p>\n
470
\n00:30:56,840 –> 00:31:00,840
\nthe ineptitude, and so it draws
\nthe resources of the of the. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:31:01,000 –> 00:31:04,000
\nSociety to itself, until
\neventually society said look, <\/p>\n
472
\n00:31:04,000 –> 00:31:06,640
\nget that, get that down.
\nIt’s far too big a problem on <\/p>\n
473
\n00:31:06,640 –> 00:31:08,960
\nour backs.
\nDavid didn’t have that. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:31:09,960 –> 00:31:13,000
\nVery wise, wasn’t it?
\nHow do you think things are <\/p>\n
475
\n00:31:13,000 –> 00:31:15,480
\ngoing to be in the Kingdom?
\nPeople and sisters, we were <\/p>\n
476
\n00:31:15,480 –> 00:31:18,360
\ngoing to learn that principle to
\nstand on their own feet and yet <\/p>\n
477
\n00:31:18,360 –> 00:31:22,080
\nto give service to the central
\nadministration. <\/p>\n
478
\n00:31:22,800 –> 00:31:26,120
\nI’m sure this is a feature
\nthat’s going to be corrected in <\/p>\n
479
\n00:31:26,120 –> 00:31:27,520
\nthe future in the Kingdom of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:31:28,320 –> 00:31:31,960
\nVery interesting.
\nNow it says in verse 2. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:31:32,120 –> 00:31:34,600
\nOver the first course, for the
\nfirst month, who was? <\/p>\n
482
\n00:31:35,360 –> 00:31:40,960
\nJoshua Bean, the son of Zabiel,
\nand in his course were 20 and <\/p>\n
483
\n00:31:40,960 –> 00:31:44,960
\n4000.
\nSo each one of them had 24,000 <\/p>\n
484
\n00:31:44,960 –> 00:31:48,600
\nmen in his group.
\nIt’s a fair number of men, <\/p>\n
485
\n00:31:50,440 –> 00:31:52,720
\n24,000.
\nIt’s nothing like the the <\/p>\n
486
\n00:31:52,720 –> 00:31:55,680
\nenormous numbers of public
\nservice that we have in our <\/p>\n
487
\n00:31:55,680 –> 00:31:57,480
\nsociety, isn’t it?
\nBut represent a very large <\/p>\n
488
\n00:31:57,480 –> 00:32:00,560
\npercent actually of the whole
\ncommunity. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:32:01,800 –> 00:32:09,160
\nIt was 24 each month.
\nAnd you know, most of these that<\/p>\n
490
\n00:32:09,160 –> 00:32:14,160
\nare mentioned were chief men in
\nDavid’s mighty. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:32:15,240 –> 00:32:18,360
\nFor example, if you look up see
\nit says Joshua. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:32:18,800 –> 00:32:24,280
\nAnd if you notice in your margin
\nit says Chapter 11 verse 11 or <\/p>\n
493
\n00:32:24,280 –> 00:32:28,800
\nSecond Samuel 23 verse 8.
\nDoesn’t say that in your margin,<\/p>\n
494
\n00:32:28,800 –> 00:32:32,160
\nbut I’ve written that in Second
\nSamuel 23 verse 8. <\/p>\n
495
\n00:32:34,360 –> 00:32:37,440
\nBut can you remember?
\nWhat Second Samuel 23 was about <\/p>\n
496
\n00:32:40,280 –> 00:32:44,960
\nDavid’s mighty men.
\nSo these were all men of the <\/p>\n
497
\n00:32:45,080 –> 00:32:47,840
\narmy?
\nNot all, but most of the men of <\/p>\n
498
\n00:32:47,840 –> 00:32:51,280
\nthe army.
\nSo the army too wasn’t a <\/p>\n
499
\n00:32:51,280 –> 00:32:55,680
\nstanding army too.
\nSo you didn’t have a defence <\/p>\n
500
\n00:32:55,680 –> 00:32:57,120
\ndepartment.
\nYou had to keep up with the <\/p>\n
501
\n00:32:57,120 –> 00:33:03,120
\nmassive amounts of money.
\nThese that were the men of the <\/p>\n
502
\n00:33:03,160 –> 00:33:08,920
\narmy were also involved in the
\nthe district in the general <\/p>\n
503
\n00:33:09,000 –> 00:33:13,600
\nrunning of the Kingdom.
\nIt says in verse one that served<\/p>\n
504
\n00:33:13,600 –> 00:33:18,520
\nthe king in any matter of the
\ncourses which came in and went <\/p>\n
505
\n00:33:18,520 –> 00:33:23,840
\nout month by month.
\nSo aren’t just army men. <\/p>\n
506
\n00:33:24,600 –> 00:33:29,000
\nThey served the king in all
\naspects of his royal <\/p>\n
507
\n00:33:29,000 –> 00:33:32,920
\nadministration.
\nSo there’s things to be done up <\/p>\n
508
\n00:33:32,920 –> 00:33:36,480
\nin the North and there was
\nconcerns then the men that <\/p>\n
509
\n00:33:36,480 –> 00:33:39,760
\n24,000 they would have to be
\nsent by the king or portion of <\/p>\n
510
\n00:33:39,760 –> 00:33:41,880
\nthem.
\nThey’d be sent by him to look <\/p>\n
511
\n00:33:41,880 –> 00:33:43,720
\nafter that matter, see what was
\ngoing on. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:33:44,560 –> 00:33:47,920
\nIf there was further stores
\nneeded for whatever it might be <\/p>\n
513
\n00:33:47,920 –> 00:33:50,720
\nand some organization was
\nrequired, then it’d be those men<\/p>\n
514
\n00:33:50,720 –> 00:33:53,360
\nwho were on that month, they had
\nto go and look after that event.<\/p>\n
515
\n00:33:54,480 –> 00:33:59,680
\nSo a lot of the a lot of the
\npeople and from every tribe <\/p>\n
516
\n00:34:00,080 –> 00:34:03,000
\nbecame involved in that central
\nadministration. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:34:03,880 –> 00:34:05,960
\nNor could they say it’s mine
\nalone. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:34:06,440 –> 00:34:10,159
\nCorruption would be very little
\nbecause whilst you were doing it<\/p>\n
519
\n00:34:10,159 –> 00:34:11,840
\nthis month, somebody else did it
\nthe next. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:34:12,679 –> 00:34:14,600
\nTime, and so it got passed on
\ndown the line. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:34:14,600 –> 00:34:17,159
\nVery different to the day where
\npublic servants. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:34:17,159 –> 00:34:20,679
\nOften are the government.
\nWe have this, it’s another gripe<\/p>\n
523
\n00:34:20,679 –> 00:34:22,960
\nof society, isn’t it?
\nBut you know, a minister comes <\/p>\n
524
\n00:34:22,960 –> 00:34:26,800
\ninto his office, but really he’s
\nnot really government place <\/p>\n
525
\n00:34:26,800 –> 00:34:28,320
\nbecause he’s he doesn’t know
\nanything about it. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:34:28,400 –> 00:34:30,360
\nHe wasn’t in Washington to do it
\na month ago. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:34:30,719 –> 00:34:33,159
\nAnd now he’s running this big
\ndepartment and all the heads of <\/p>\n
528
\n00:34:33,159 –> 00:34:35,159
\nthat department, they just get
\non top of him and tell me what <\/p>\n
529
\n00:34:35,159 –> 00:34:37,639
\nhe’s doing.
\nAnd that’s what happens. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:34:37,639 –> 00:34:40,760
\nIn Australia, it’s the same.
\nThey often say the government’s <\/p>\n
531
\n00:34:40,760 –> 00:34:44,440
\nreally the permanent principles
\nof the public service. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:34:44,639 –> 00:34:49,080
\nWell, not so here.
\nThese men were therefore <\/p>\n
533
\n00:34:49,120 –> 00:34:51,719
\nunknown.
\nAnd then somebody else came and <\/p>\n
534
\n00:34:51,719 –> 00:34:53,639
\ndid the job.
\nYou know, the whole thing is <\/p>\n
535
\n00:34:53,639 –> 00:34:57,360
\nwise, isn’t it?
\nAnd it kept down the the <\/p>\n
536
\n00:34:57,400 –> 00:35:01,840
\npermanent burden upon the feet,
\nkept taxation down, which is of <\/p>\n
537
\n00:35:01,840 –> 00:35:04,640
\ncourse, a resentment in any
\ncommunity. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:35:06,240 –> 00:35:08,440
\nAll right, look at verse 4 then.
\nHere’s the next one. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:35:09,160 –> 00:35:13,680
\nAnd over the course of the
\nsecond month was Dodei and Ahoa <\/p>\n
540
\n00:35:13,680 –> 00:35:16,840
\nheight.
\nI don’t like the marginal. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:35:16,840 –> 00:35:27,400
\nRendition of his name for.
\nYou I think we’ll go with Dodei.<\/p>\n
542
\n00:35:28,600 –> 00:35:31,080
\nOtherwise it it might be a bit
\nof a drew. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:35:32,640 –> 00:35:40,960
\nNo, that’s the Hebrew SO.
\nBut it says and of his course <\/p>\n
544
\n00:35:40,960 –> 00:35:46,320
\nwas Mclaugh also the ruler in
\nhis course likewise was 24,000. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:35:46,880 –> 00:35:50,680
\nWell, to make the point that it
\nit was from among the great men <\/p>\n
546
\n00:35:50,680 –> 00:35:52,120
\nof David.
\nLook at verse 5. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:35:53,120 –> 00:35:54,720
\nYou’ll remember his name, won’t
\nyou? <\/p>\n
548
\n00:35:55,200 –> 00:35:58,960
\nThe third captain of the host of
\nthe third month was Benaiah, the<\/p>\n
549
\n00:35:58,960 –> 00:36:04,720
\nson of Jehovah, a chief priest.
\nAnd then his course were 20 and <\/p>\n
550
\n00:36:04,720 –> 00:36:06,560
\n4000.
\nNow that’s an interesting thing.<\/p>\n
551
\n00:36:07,120 –> 00:36:12,600
\nHe’s a chief priest.
\nHe’s a captain of the host, <\/p>\n
552
\n00:36:13,040 –> 00:36:16,800
\nJarab Abishai Benaiah.
\nIn fact, he was the most <\/p>\n
553
\n00:36:17,120 –> 00:36:19,440
\nfaithful.
\nOf the three of them when Jarab.<\/p>\n
554
\n00:36:19,440 –> 00:36:23,560
\nFinally turned to sight who was
\nloyal for the IT was Benaiah. <\/p>\n
555
\n00:36:24,440 –> 00:36:28,640
\nSo he was a mighty man in the
\narmy, but he was also one of the<\/p>\n
556
\n00:36:29,240 –> 00:36:32,840
\n12 appointed to this month 3
\nservice of the king. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:36:33,600 –> 00:36:37,320
\nSo it just helps you to see how
\nthe whole thing worked and so <\/p>\n
558
\n00:36:37,320 –> 00:36:39,160
\non.
\nIt goes right through to the <\/p>\n
559
\n00:36:39,160 –> 00:36:44,600
\n12th captain in verse 15.
\nHe was held AI the the tophotite<\/p>\n
560
\n00:36:44,640 –> 00:36:46,880
\nof Octane.
\nBut again. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:36:48,080 –> 00:36:50,920
\nIf you look across in your
\nmargin for where it says held <\/p>\n
562
\n00:36:50,960 –> 00:36:53,800
\nAI, there’s a little 3 in my
\nBible. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:36:54,360 –> 00:36:57,280
\nIt may have a different letter
\ntakes you across to the margin <\/p>\n
564
\n00:36:57,280 –> 00:37:01,360
\nand it says or helled.
\nChapter 11, verse 34, Second <\/p>\n
565
\n00:37:01,360 –> 00:37:06,000
\nSamuel 23, verse 29.
\nSo again, he was a he was one of<\/p>\n
566
\n00:37:06,000 –> 00:37:10,360
\nDavid’s money.
\nSo they weren’t just big Tufts <\/p>\n
567
\n00:37:10,360 –> 00:37:14,520
\nof the army.
\nThey were responsible officers <\/p>\n
568
\n00:37:14,520 –> 00:37:20,960
\nof the realm and therefore were
\nable to conduct their affairs <\/p>\n
569
\n00:37:20,960 –> 00:37:25,240
\nproperly and to keep these
\n24,000 men. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:37:26,000 –> 00:37:27,760
\nThat would come into Jerusalem
\nthat month. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:37:27,800 –> 00:37:30,240
\nCan you imagine?
\nThat’d be a very busy, very busy<\/p>\n
572
\n00:37:30,240 –> 00:37:32,240
\nevent.
\nThe end of each month there was <\/p>\n
573
\n00:37:32,280 –> 00:37:36,240
\n24,000 men coming in from their
\nhomes, leaving their wives, <\/p>\n
574
\n00:37:36,240 –> 00:37:39,200
\ntheir children and so on in the
\nservice of the king. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:37:40,280 –> 00:37:41,720
\nAnd he would then have to pick
\nthem up. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:37:41,720 –> 00:37:45,640
\nThere must be a place where
\nthey, they’ve registered and the<\/p>\n
577
\n00:37:45,640 –> 00:37:47,800
\nothers left and took their
\nbelongings with them. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:37:48,080 –> 00:37:50,680
\nAnd these 24,000 then came into
\ntheir barracks. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:37:50,680 –> 00:37:53,440
\nI suppose it was at the
\nregister. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:37:53,480 –> 00:37:55,120
\nHad to be there on time.
\nThey were there then. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:37:55,480 –> 00:37:57,520
\nFor the next month.
\nIsn’t that interesting? <\/p>\n
582
\n00:37:58,400 –> 00:38:01,520
\nReally interesting thing.
\nIt’s quite unique, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
583
\n00:38:01,520 –> 00:38:04,000
\nI can’t think of anything else
\nyou might say. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:38:04,000 –> 00:38:05,720
\nWell, you know, if they were
\nthere all the time, they’d have,<\/p>\n
585
\n00:38:06,280 –> 00:38:09,200
\nthey’d have more idea of how
\nthings were done. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:38:09,480 –> 00:38:11,920
\nBut if they were there more all
\nthe time, there’d be a lot more <\/p>\n
587
\n00:38:12,080 –> 00:38:15,440
\ncorruption and self-serving, as
\nwe well know. <\/p>\n
588
\n00:38:16,000 –> 00:38:18,440
\nSo in this administration, it
\nwas kept down. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:38:19,520 –> 00:38:22,520
\nSamuel was right when he said it
\nwould if they would take their <\/p>\n
590
\n00:38:22,520 –> 00:38:24,680
\nsons.
\nBut the way David organized it <\/p>\n
591
\n00:38:25,160 –> 00:38:30,360
\nlimited that considerably.
\nWhat about the tribes? <\/p>\n
592
\n00:38:30,360 –> 00:38:33,080
\nBecause that’s that supra tribe,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n
593
\n00:38:33,120 –> 00:38:38,320
\nThat’s not on a tribal basis.
\nIt’s gone beyond the tribes. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:38:38,440 –> 00:38:42,440
\nAnd that’s what Solomon had.
\nHe had an organization that was <\/p>\n
595
\n00:38:42,440 –> 00:38:47,200
\nbeyond the tribes so that they
\nlost that sense of just being. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:38:47,640 –> 00:38:53,200
\nIn their own little tribe, they
\nhad an overall concept of their <\/p>\n
597
\n00:38:53,200 –> 00:38:55,880
\nnation.
\nBut there were leaders of the <\/p>\n
598
\n00:38:55,880 –> 00:39:01,360
\ntribes, it says in verse 16.
\nFurthermore, over the tribes of <\/p>\n
599
\n00:39:01,400 –> 00:39:08,000
\nIsrael, the ruler of the
\nrevenites was Eliza, the son of <\/p>\n
600
\n00:39:08,000 –> 00:39:12,520
\nSikrim of the Semenites,
\nshepherd Tyre, the son of <\/p>\n
601
\n00:39:12,520 –> 00:39:15,440
\nMaiatha.
\nNow who in the future is going <\/p>\n
602
\n00:39:15,440 –> 00:39:21,040
\nto be the ruler of the tribes?
\nReminds you, doesn’t it, of the <\/p>\n
603
\n00:39:21,040 –> 00:39:24,960
\nwords of the Lord Jesus.
\nIn Matthew chapter 19. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:39:34,420 –> 00:39:38,740
\nThis is the office which in the
\nfuture will be held by none less<\/p>\n
605
\n00:39:38,740 –> 00:39:45,980
\nthan the apostles themselves.
\nSo Matthew 19 verse 28 Jesus <\/p>\n
606
\n00:39:45,980 –> 00:39:48,740
\nsaid unto them, Verily I say
\nunto you, that ye which have <\/p>\n
607
\n00:39:48,740 –> 00:39:54,260
\nfollowed me in the regeneration,
\nwhen the Son of Man shall sit in<\/p>\n
608
\n00:39:54,260 –> 00:39:59,680
\nthe throne of His glory, he also
\nshall sit upon 12 Thrones, <\/p>\n
609
\n00:40:00,600 –> 00:40:08,320
\njudging the 12 tribes of Israel.
\nSo that would seem, wouldn’t it <\/p>\n
610
\n00:40:08,320 –> 00:40:13,480
\nto be the same kind of office
\nwhich this 12 people are <\/p>\n
611
\n00:40:13,760 –> 00:40:17,640
\nmentioned in First Chronicles 27
\nenjoyed in years gone by. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:40:18,360 –> 00:40:19,960
\nYou know there’s another little
\nbackground to that. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:40:19,960 –> 00:40:23,560
\nNot interested to notice this.
\nCome to Psalm 122. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:40:24,200 –> 00:40:27,760
\nThe Lord’s words were not sort
\nof out of the blue so much as <\/p>\n
615
\n00:40:27,760 –> 00:40:33,480
\nwhat we might think.
\nIn Psalm 122 there was an <\/p>\n
616
\n00:40:33,520 –> 00:40:37,720
\nearlier reference to something
\nvery akin to that very <\/p>\n
617
\n00:40:37,720 –> 00:40:46,320
\ninteresting little reference.
\nI was glad when they said unto <\/p>\n
618
\n00:40:46,320 –> 00:40:48,040
\nme, Let us go into the House of
\nthe Lord. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:40:48,040 –> 00:40:51,000
\nOur feet shall stand within thy
\ngates, O Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:40:51,360 –> 00:40:55,880
\nJerusalem is billed as a city
\nthat’s compact together, whither<\/p>\n
621
\n00:40:55,880 –> 00:41:01,920
\nthe tribes go up, the tribes of
\nthe Lord unto the testimony of <\/p>\n
622
\n00:41:01,920 –> 00:41:04,200
\nIsrael to give thanks unto the
\nname of the Lord. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:41:04,440 –> 00:41:09,040
\nFor there are set Thrones of
\njudgment, the Thrones of the <\/p>\n
624
\n00:41:09,040 –> 00:41:14,760
\nHouse of David.
\nThe tribes go up and there are <\/p>\n
625
\n00:41:14,760 –> 00:41:19,320
\nThrones of judgment, the Thrones
\nof the House of David. <\/p>\n
626
\n00:41:20,120 –> 00:41:25,360
\nJesus says he shall sit upon 12
\nThrones, judging the 12 tribes <\/p>\n
627
\n00:41:25,360 –> 00:41:28,880
\nof Israel.
\nThat’s has its overtures in <\/p>\n
628
\n00:41:28,880 –> 00:41:33,320
\nverse four and five.
\nNow notice that those Thrones <\/p>\n
629
\n00:41:33,320 –> 00:41:37,400
\nare not through the different
\ntribes as Ezekiel depicts them <\/p>\n
630
\n00:41:37,480 –> 00:41:41,240
\nin their cantons in the future,
\nthose those Thrones are in <\/p>\n
631
\n00:41:41,240 –> 00:41:44,400
\nJerusalem, for there are set
\nThrones of judgement. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:41:45,320 –> 00:41:49,240
\nThere might be Israel in their
\ncantons, but their Thrones of <\/p>\n
633
\n00:41:49,240 –> 00:41:51,760
\njudgement will be in Jerusalem,
\nas the Lord has said. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:41:52,760 –> 00:41:54,800
\nThat’s interesting when you just
\nput one passage. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:41:54,840 –> 00:41:56,360
\nI’m sure that he would have had
\nthat in mind. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:41:56,360 –> 00:41:59,280
\nSure of it.
\nPut the passages together, they <\/p>\n
637
\n00:41:59,520 –> 00:42:05,040
\nthey dovetail in.
\nWell in David’s day, verses 16 <\/p>\n
638
\n00:42:05,360 –> 00:42:09,640
\nto 22 we have mentioned of the
\nnames of those who were over the<\/p>\n
639
\n00:42:09,640 –> 00:42:13,400
\n12 tribes.
\nI just want to pick up one <\/p>\n
640
\n00:42:13,400 –> 00:42:16,400
\nthat’s very interesting.
\nIt’s in verse 18. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:42:17,160 –> 00:42:18,840
\nWho do you think was put over
\nJudah? <\/p>\n
642
\n00:42:20,960 –> 00:42:29,120
\nIt says Elijah, and again your
\nmargin says Eliab, and that’s <\/p>\n
643
\n00:42:29,120 –> 00:42:35,800
\nwhat the revised version says.
\nSo also just the Septuagint of <\/p>\n
644
\n00:42:35,800 –> 00:42:41,240
\nJudah Eliab.
\nAnd it says that because the <\/p>\n
645
\n00:42:41,240 –> 00:42:44,200
\nnext little phrase is one of the
\nbrethren of David. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:42:45,240 –> 00:42:46,920
\nNow that’s a really lovely
\nlittle touch. <\/p>\n
647
\n00:42:47,600 –> 00:42:51,360
\nWho was alive?
\nWhat do we know about Eliab? <\/p>\n
648
\n00:42:52,680 –> 00:42:55,160
\nWe know about two incidents.
\nDon’t worry about Eliab. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:42:55,680 –> 00:42:59,800
\nThe first is in verse Samuel
\nchapter 16 and the other in <\/p>\n
650
\n00:42:59,800 –> 00:43:04,360
\nchapter 17 and in the first one
\nhe comes before Samuel and when <\/p>\n
651
\n00:43:04,360 –> 00:43:06,560
\nSamuel sees him he says why?
\nWhat a dashing. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:43:06,560 –> 00:43:11,160
\nYouth upstanding, tall and good
\nlooking board. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:43:11,440 –> 00:43:16,800
\nSurely he says, the Lord’s
\nanointed this performance, and <\/p>\n
654
\n00:43:16,800 –> 00:43:20,120
\nGod told him, as he said of the
\nnext two brothers as well, or <\/p>\n
655
\n00:43:20,120 –> 00:43:22,560
\nall of the other brothers.
\nLook not on His statue, nor on <\/p>\n
656
\n00:43:22,560 –> 00:43:26,480
\nthe height of His countenance,
\nfor I have refused him. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:43:26,600 –> 00:43:29,320
\nI’d be statue in all of this
\ncount, but I have refused. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:43:30,000 –> 00:43:33,000
\nThe Lord looketh not upon the
\noutward appearance, but the Lord<\/p>\n
659
\n00:43:33,000 –> 00:43:35,520
\nlooketh upon the heart.
\nA liar would have really felt <\/p>\n
660
\n00:43:35,520 –> 00:43:38,040
\nthat.
\nWouldn’t he would have to go to <\/p>\n
661
\n00:43:38,040 –> 00:43:40,080
\nthe side of the room and wait?
\nUntil the other little. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:43:40,080 –> 00:43:45,760
\nBoy was brought in from the
\nsheep, the young mandate, and he<\/p>\n
663
\n00:43:45,760 –> 00:43:49,680
\ndid feel that, as perhaps he had
\nfelt resentment towards David’s <\/p>\n
664
\n00:43:49,680 –> 00:43:54,240
\nspirituality many times.
\nBecause there they are now in <\/p>\n
665
\n00:43:54,240 –> 00:43:58,320
\nthe next scene in first Samuel
\n17, and David comes with the <\/p>\n
666
\n00:43:58,320 –> 00:44:02,680
\ncheeses and other things to his
\nbrothers, and he speaks to the <\/p>\n
667
\n00:44:02,680 –> 00:44:06,600
\nking and he can’t, he can’t for
\nthe life of him understand why <\/p>\n
668
\n00:44:07,000 –> 00:44:09,840
\nIsrael is standing there.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
669
\n00:44:10,160 –> 00:44:14,160
\nWhy?
\nWhy Goliath and denigrates the <\/p>\n
670
\n00:44:14,160 –> 00:44:17,200
\nglory of the God of Israel and
\nof the people. <\/p>\n
671
\n00:44:17,200 –> 00:44:19,680
\nOf Israel.
\nAnd so in First Samuel 17 verse <\/p>\n
672
\n00:44:19,680 –> 00:44:26,400
\n28, Eliab said this.
\nHis eldest brother he heard when<\/p>\n
673
\n00:44:26,400 –> 00:44:29,720
\nhe spake unto the men what David
\nwas saying. <\/p>\n
674
\n00:44:29,760 –> 00:44:31,840
\nYou know what shall be done to
\nthe man that killeth the <\/p>\n
675
\n00:44:31,840 –> 00:44:35,040
\nPhilistine.
\nBut who is this uncircumcised <\/p>\n
676
\n00:44:35,040 –> 00:44:37,440
\nPhilistine that he should defy
\nthe armies of the living God? <\/p>\n
677
\n00:44:37,680 –> 00:44:40,520
\nHis older brother heard this,
\nyou know, this chirp coming from<\/p>\n
678
\n00:44:40,520 –> 00:44:43,560
\nhis little brother as he as he
\nlooked upon him, and he felt <\/p>\n
679
\n00:44:43,560 –> 00:44:46,680
\nembarrassed by all of this.
\nYou know who’s he think he is, <\/p>\n
680
\n00:44:46,920 –> 00:44:49,240
\nBut you know inwardly you must
\nhave known. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:44:50,080 –> 00:44:52,520
\nThat if there was a person that
\ncould do anything about that <\/p>\n
682
\n00:44:52,520 –> 00:44:54,760
\ncircumstance, it was his younger
\nbrother. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:44:55,680 –> 00:45:00,000
\nBut because it was his younger
\nbrother, he resented the fact of<\/p>\n
684
\n00:45:00,000 –> 00:45:04,840
\nhis intrusion.
\nYou couldn’t have a boy like <\/p>\n
685
\n00:45:04,840 –> 00:45:08,200
\nDavid in your family.
\nExcept you would know that he is<\/p>\n
686
\n00:45:08,200 –> 00:45:11,080
\nexceptional.
\nYou just think about that. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:45:11,920 –> 00:45:15,240
\nIf in your family, your own
\npersonal family, there had been <\/p>\n
688
\n00:45:15,240 –> 00:45:20,120
\none of the members of that
\nfamily who was like David, you <\/p>\n
689
\n00:45:20,120 –> 00:45:24,240
\nwouldn’t know it, wouldn’t you?
\nWhen anything came up about the <\/p>\n
690
\n00:45:24,240 –> 00:45:27,240
\nthings of God, he was hot, he
\nwas king. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:45:27,760 –> 00:45:31,760
\nHe was perceptive in mind, he
\nwas engaging in heart, he was <\/p>\n
692
\n00:45:31,760 –> 00:45:34,880
\nresponsive to his father.
\nWhatever duties were there, he <\/p>\n
693
\n00:45:34,880 –> 00:45:39,280
\nwas king and enthusiastic.
\nHe was first of all a man of <\/p>\n
694
\n00:45:39,280 –> 00:45:41,280
\nGod.
\nYou would know that that that <\/p>\n
695
\n00:45:41,280 –> 00:45:46,400
\nyoung brother or that son was an
\nexceptional person in your <\/p>\n
696
\n00:45:46,400 –> 00:45:47,880
\nopinion.
\nYou’d know that, wouldn’t you? <\/p>\n
697
\n00:45:48,120 –> 00:45:51,240
\nYou couldn’t help it when he
\ncame and told the story about <\/p>\n
698
\n00:45:51,240 –> 00:45:53,560
\nthe lion and the bear.
\nDid you believe it or not? <\/p>\n
699
\n00:45:55,320 –> 00:45:56,800
\nBurst through the door, as it
\nwere. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:45:56,800 –> 00:45:58,400
\nDad, do you know what happened
\ntoday? <\/p>\n
701
\n00:45:58,400 –> 00:46:00,880
\nI mean, he would have said that,
\nwouldn’t he? <\/p>\n
702
\n00:46:00,880 –> 00:46:04,840
\nHe’s only a young boy and you
\nwould have had to look at him in<\/p>\n
703
\n00:46:04,840 –> 00:46:07,280
\nthe eye and think.
\nNow does he? <\/p>\n
704
\n00:46:07,320 –> 00:46:11,480
\nReally mean that or not.
\nAnd you’d know that he really, <\/p>\n
705
\n00:46:11,480 –> 00:46:13,920
\nhe really meant it.
\nHe really meant it. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:46:15,200 –> 00:46:17,640
\nAnd how could you doubt the same
\nas Saul when Saul listened to <\/p>\n
707
\n00:46:17,640 –> 00:46:19,600
\nhim?
\nI’m sure Saul believed that what<\/p>\n
708
\n00:46:19,600 –> 00:46:21,240
\nthat young man was telling him
\nwas right. <\/p>\n
709
\n00:46:21,920 –> 00:46:25,560
\nYou look in his eye and it was
\ndead king, sincere, as though it<\/p>\n
710
\n00:46:25,560 –> 00:46:29,240
\nwas a deep world.
\nThat boy meant what he said. <\/p>\n
711
\n00:46:29,240 –> 00:46:33,320
\nThe lion came and the bear came,
\nand he stripped them and had the<\/p>\n
712
\n00:46:33,320 –> 00:46:36,160
\nevidence to prove it.
\nWell, imagine if one of your <\/p>\n
713
\n00:46:36,160 –> 00:46:37,960
\nbrothers came and he said that
\nto you. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:46:39,760 –> 00:46:43,680
\nHe wouldn’t doubt him, would
\nyou, that you know, the foolish <\/p>\n
715
\n00:46:43,720 –> 00:46:45,360
\nthing was that they resented
\nhim. <\/p>\n
716
\n00:46:46,160 –> 00:46:50,000
\nThat was a tragic.
\nI’ve become a stranger unto my <\/p>\n
717
\n00:46:50,000 –> 00:46:52,480
\nmother’s children, it says in
\nPsalm 69. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:46:53,080 –> 00:46:58,160
\nAnd an alien in his own family.
\nAnd that’s why they left him <\/p>\n
719
\n00:46:58,160 –> 00:47:00,280
\nout.
\nWhen you think about this <\/p>\n
720
\n00:47:00,280 –> 00:47:02,000
\nrecord, it’s an incredible
\nrecord. <\/p>\n
721
\n00:47:02,400 –> 00:47:07,480
\nWhat Samuel came with it with a
\nhorn of oil to anoint one to be <\/p>\n
722
\n00:47:07,480 –> 00:47:09,560
\nking.
\nEveryone in that family knew who<\/p>\n
723
\n00:47:09,560 –> 00:47:13,040
\nwas the boy who should be king,
\nwho was the godly boy in the <\/p>\n
724
\n00:47:13,040 –> 00:47:17,880
\nfamily who had the ability with
\nmen, who was God fearing. <\/p>\n
725
\n00:47:18,080 –> 00:47:20,320
\nThat’s him.
\nThey all knew that. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:47:20,440 –> 00:47:22,440
\nThey had to know that Jesse
\ncouldn’t have not known. <\/p>\n
727
\n00:47:22,440 –> 00:47:26,520
\nBut the brothers said nothing,
\nand the father did nothing and <\/p>\n
728
\n00:47:26,520 –> 00:47:27,760
\nleft him out there in the
\nwilderness. <\/p>\n
729
\n00:47:27,920 –> 00:47:30,600
\nUntil then, they’re shamed.
\nThey had to wait, standing there<\/p>\n
730
\n00:47:30,600 –> 00:47:33,120
\nwaiting for hours until somebody
\nfound him out with the sheep <\/p>\n
731
\n00:47:33,560 –> 00:47:37,840
\nholding him into that assembler.
\nAnd then he came, unwashed, <\/p>\n
732
\n00:47:37,840 –> 00:47:38,840
\nunclean.
\nAs it were. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:47:39,200 –> 00:47:42,200
\nStraight out of the field, but
\nGod said this is the one. <\/p>\n
734
\n00:47:43,760 –> 00:47:46,680
\nI think if we had a boy like.
\nThat in our family we would know<\/p>\n
735
\n00:47:47,760 –> 00:47:52,840
\nwell look at a lion.
\nVerse 28 His eldest father heard<\/p>\n
736
\n00:47:52,840 –> 00:47:54,640
\nwhen he spake unto the men and
\ntheir lives. <\/p>\n
737
\n00:47:54,640 –> 00:47:58,520
\nAnger was kindled against David.
\nHe said, White King, was thou <\/p>\n
738
\n00:47:58,520 –> 00:48:00,920
\ndown hit her?
\nAnd with whom hast thou left <\/p>\n
739
\n00:48:00,920 –> 00:48:02,680
\nthose few sheep in the
\nwilderness? <\/p>\n
740
\n00:48:02,680 –> 00:48:04,440
\nProbably saying it loud so
\neverybody could hear. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:48:05,240 –> 00:48:07,040
\nThis is no worry.
\nIt’s just a kid that looks after<\/p>\n
742
\n00:48:07,040 –> 00:48:10,440
\na few sheep.
\nI know thy pride and the <\/p>\n
743
\n00:48:10,440 –> 00:48:13,880
\nnaughtiness of thine heart
\nwithout come down, that thou <\/p>\n
744
\n00:48:13,880 –> 00:48:17,080
\nmightest see the back.
\nNever did a brother make a worse<\/p>\n
745
\n00:48:17,080 –> 00:48:21,560
\nassessment than a lion made of
\nhis youngest brother. <\/p>\n
746
\n00:48:22,680 –> 00:48:25,440
\nThe naughtiness of thine heart.
\nWhat did God say? <\/p>\n
747
\n00:48:26,880 –> 00:48:30,080
\nA man after mine own heart.
\nChapter 13. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:48:30,080 –> 00:48:32,040
\nVerse 14.
\nYou know, beautiful. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:48:32,560 –> 00:48:33,920
\nThat was his.
\nBrother’s assessment. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:48:34,000 –> 00:48:36,240
\nGod’s assessment.
\nAbsolute opposite. <\/p>\n
751
\n00:48:38,040 –> 00:48:40,320
\nBecause he judged according to
\nthe outward appearance and not <\/p>\n
752
\n00:48:40,320 –> 00:48:46,720
\naccording to the heart.
\nSo that’s interesting because <\/p>\n
753
\n00:48:46,720 –> 00:48:51,160
\nwhen we turn over to chronicles
\nthat 27th chapter again, David <\/p>\n
754
\n00:48:51,160 –> 00:48:52,920
\nagain is shown to be one who
\ndoesn’t. <\/p>\n
755
\n00:48:53,480 –> 00:49:00,800
\nHe doesn’t hold gripes and I’ll
\nfeeling he gets over and overdue<\/p>\n
756
\n00:49:00,800 –> 00:49:03,480
\nthat it is able to spark.
\nIsn’t that a beautiful thing? <\/p>\n
757
\n00:49:04,840 –> 00:49:07,280
\nBut a plenty of other men
\nundoubtedly in Judah that were <\/p>\n
758
\n00:49:07,280 –> 00:49:10,120
\noutstanding.
\nBut he appointed his own star. <\/p>\n
759
\n00:49:10,840 –> 00:49:13,480
\nThat’s a beautiful little note
\npart. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:49:13,680 –> 00:49:19,240
\nAll the history is gone.
\nAnd that’s if he appoints all <\/p>\n
761
\n00:49:19,240 –> 00:49:23,440
\nright now in verse 25 through to
\nverse 34. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:49:23,880 –> 00:49:26,040
\nIt also had an interesting
\nrecord, didn’t you think? <\/p>\n
763
\n00:49:26,280 –> 00:49:29,120
\nRemember the words of Samuel,
\nhow he said the king would have <\/p>\n
764
\n00:49:29,120 –> 00:49:34,520
\nall these different areas of
\nresponsibility and interests? <\/p>\n
765
\n00:49:35,200 –> 00:49:38,440
\nWell, there they were, all
\nlisted for us in verse 25. <\/p>\n
766
\n00:49:38,440 –> 00:49:41,760
\nTo 34.
\nAnd as you build it all up in <\/p>\n
767
\n00:49:41,760 –> 00:49:45,360
\nyour mind, see Jerusalem there’s
\nthe King beautiful House of <\/p>\n
768
\n00:49:45,360 –> 00:49:49,160
\ncedar and he’s levelling the
\nground. <\/p>\n
769
\n00:49:49,160 –> 00:49:54,320
\nIs he not already to to prepare
\nfor the the temple and he’s gone<\/p>\n
770
\n00:49:54,320 –> 00:49:58,320
\nover it when he’s walking stick.
\nI’m sure many many times seeing <\/p>\n
771
\n00:49:58,320 –> 00:50:00,520
\nit all in his mind.
\nHe saw it the very first time. <\/p>\n
772
\n00:50:00,520 –> 00:50:04,320
\nGod said to me that this, when
\nthe fire came down, he said this<\/p>\n
773
\n00:50:04,320 –> 00:50:09,960
\nis the House of the Lord God.
\nSo that’s going to be soon on <\/p>\n
774
\n00:50:09,960 –> 00:50:13,360
\nthe horizon.
\nAnd yet already all these other <\/p>\n
775
\n00:50:13,360 –> 00:50:15,400
\nthings have been built up from
\nDavid’s. 40. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:50:15,400 –> 00:50:22,200
\nYears over the treasures was as
\nmobile and over the storehouses <\/p>\n
777
\n00:50:22,200 –> 00:50:27,200
\nin the fields, in the cities and
\nin the villages and in the <\/p>\n
778
\n00:50:27,200 –> 00:50:31,840
\ncastles.
\nSo he built castles, he had <\/p>\n
779
\n00:50:31,840 –> 00:50:36,040
\nstorehouses in the various
\nfields and in the cities of <\/p>\n
780
\n00:50:36,120 –> 00:50:40,960
\nIsrael there was abundance of
\nfood, a tight season, but they <\/p>\n
781
\n00:50:40,960 –> 00:50:46,600
\nstill had enough food wise
\nprovision, wise provision, and <\/p>\n
782
\n00:50:46,600 –> 00:50:50,000
\nover them that did the work of
\nthe field for tillage of the <\/p>\n
783
\n00:50:50,000 –> 00:50:52,000
\nground with Esri, the son of
\nChello. <\/p>\n
784
\n00:50:53,040 –> 00:50:56,960
\nSo all that, So what cultural
\nside of his life required for <\/p>\n
785
\n00:50:56,960 –> 00:51:01,560
\nthe public service, for those
\nwho were about the palace, the <\/p>\n
786
\n00:51:01,560 –> 00:51:03,160
\nvineyards?
\nVerse 27. <\/p>\n
787
\n00:51:04,240 –> 00:51:06,400
\nAnd then over the wine.
\nCellars. <\/p>\n
788
\n00:51:08,360 –> 00:51:13,040
\nThere was the Zampa, the
\nShipmark, Shipmark and the olive<\/p>\n
789
\n00:51:13,040 –> 00:51:18,000
\ntrees and the Sycamore trees
\nthat grow in the in the South. <\/p>\n
790
\n00:51:18,000 –> 00:51:19,400
\nAnd they still do.
\nIf you go down there and you’ll <\/p>\n
791
\n00:51:19,400 –> 00:51:22,240
\nfind Sycamore trees on the
\nplains of the Philistines. <\/p>\n
792
\n00:51:22,240 –> 00:51:25,560
\nAnd then there was the Cellars
\nof oil. <\/p>\n
793
\n00:51:25,560 –> 00:51:30,840
\nAnd then there was this purge in
\nverse 29 in Sharon, that lovely <\/p>\n
794
\n00:51:30,840 –> 00:51:33,960
\nplain along the coast.
\nCan you get a picture of my dear<\/p>\n
795
\n00:51:33,960 –> 00:51:36,240
\nfriends?
\nThis is all these areas of <\/p>\n
796
\n00:51:36,240 –> 00:51:38,840
\ninterest and activity that all
\nhad to be maintained. <\/p>\n
797
\n00:51:39,720 –> 00:51:44,080
\nThe herds that were in the
\nvalleys, cattle upon 1000 hills.<\/p>\n
798
\n00:51:44,400 –> 00:51:48,880
\nThey like the slopes don’t
\nthere’s 29 over the camels. <\/p>\n
799
\n00:51:49,080 –> 00:51:55,880
\nThere’s the the asses, beasts of
\nverdict and over the flops with <\/p>\n
800
\n00:51:55,880 –> 00:51:58,400
\na table of the King.
\nAnd for offerings. <\/p>\n
801
\n00:51:59,640 –> 00:52:02,560
\nAll these were the rulers of the
