1
\n00:00:03,920 –> 00:00:05,400
\nWelcome to Good Christophian
\nTalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:05,880 –> 00:00:08,560
\nThank you for joining us this
\nweek on this podcast. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:08,560 –> 00:00:11,880
\nWe select one talk a week to
\nhelp us get the Bible in our <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:11,880 –> 00:00:15,920
\nDaily News feed.
\nEach week we post a talk that we<\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:15,920 –> 00:00:18,960
\npreviewed from suggestions sent
\nin by listeners from around the <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:18,960 –> 00:00:21,520
\nworld.
\nThen we record a short intro <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:21,520 –> 00:00:24,960
\nbeforehand as a personalized
\nrecommendation to you on why we <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:24,960 –> 00:00:27,920
\nare sharing the talk.
\nAnd now let’s talk more about <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:27,920 –> 00:00:34,640
\nthis week’s talk.
\nThis week’s talk is by Brother <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:34,640 –> 00:00:36,960
\nPeter King.
\nIt was a midweek Bible class <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:37,120 –> 00:00:42,840
\ngiven in 1997 at the Los Angeles
\nEcclesia titled Undesigned Bible<\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:42,840 –> 00:00:45,080
\nCoincidences which shares the
\ntitle with a book which he <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:45,080 –> 00:00:48,280
\ndescribes in the beginning of
\nthe of the class. <\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:49,000 –> 00:00:52,560
\nIt was in the run up to, I
\nbelieve a study day that he gave<\/p>\n

15
\n00:00:52,560 –> 00:00:56,280
\nlater that same week that we
\nalso mentioned in episode 16. <\/p>\n

16
\n00:00:56,280 –> 00:00:58,960
\nThis is Brother Peter’s 5th
\nepisode. <\/p>\n

17
\n00:00:59,120 –> 00:01:05,640
\nI’ve got them here, episode
\n16151 two 77 and 356 and it’s <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:05,840 –> 00:01:09,520
\nit’s a classic Peter King class
\non lots of humor, lots of kind <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:09,520 –> 00:01:12,920
\nof wit as he.
\nI think it really makes the <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:12,920 –> 00:01:15,720
\ngreat point of kind of the joy
\nand fun that you can have in <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:15,720 –> 00:01:19,040
\nBible study and shows a lot of
\nreally interesting examples. <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:19,160 –> 00:01:23,080
\nThese undesigned coincidences of
\ntwo different passages kind of <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:23,080 –> 00:01:28,080
\njoining together to add more
\ncolor and background to to the <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:28,080 –> 00:01:31,080
\nstory, which he does a lot.
\nI think again, that’s very much <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:31,080 –> 00:01:34,680
\na Peter King thing to kind of
\nexpand the story, maybe even <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:35,080 –> 00:01:40,920
\nsuppose or or or have a you
\nknow, a theory about maybe some <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:40,920 –> 00:01:42,880
\nbackground.
\nBut but here he’s using a lot of<\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:42,880 –> 00:01:46,800
\nscripture to to show that, to
\nshow that and support that very <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:46,800 –> 00:01:50,480
\nfun class Really, I think
\ntransits well to the podcast and<\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:50,480 –> 00:01:53,120
\nI’m excited to share it.
\nSo here it is, undesigned Bible <\/p>\n

31
\n00:01:53,120 –> 00:01:54,600
\ncoincidences by brother Peter
\nKing. <\/p>\n

32
\n00:01:56,480 –> 00:02:02,360
\nYour brethren and sisters at the
\nBirmingham West Ecclesia have <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:02,360 –> 00:02:06,560
\nasked me to bring their love to
\nyou and and this I do very <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:06,560 –> 00:02:15,520
\ngladly.
\nThere are young people present <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:15,520 –> 00:02:19,360
\nwith us tonight, and with the
\npermission of the Greybeards <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:19,360 –> 00:02:23,320
\namong us, I would like first of
\nall to address the young people,<\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:23,320 –> 00:02:28,360
\nif we may.
\nSo for those of you who know the<\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:28,360 –> 00:02:32,520
\nchapter and verse which I shall
\nhave in mind ever before we <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:32,520 –> 00:02:36,360
\nreach there, I ask you to bear
\nwith us in patience. <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:37,320 –> 00:02:42,280
\nPerhaps we shall, if time
\npermits, dig a little deeper as <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:42,280 –> 00:02:47,560
\nthe evening progresses.
\nBut first of all to the young <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:47,560 –> 00:02:55,360
\npeople, if we may.
\nBible coincidences form the <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:55,360 –> 00:02:57,840
\nbasis of the beginning of Bible
\nstudy. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:58,160 –> 00:03:02,800
\nIn my opinion.
\nThey are very exciting. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:02,800 –> 00:03:07,520
\nYou know, when we talk about
\nBible study at home, the young <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:07,520 –> 00:03:10,280
\npeople to whom we speak often
\nthink you’ve got to be at least <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:10,280 –> 00:03:15,200
\n90 years old, have absolutely no
\nsense of humour, never smile, <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:15,640 –> 00:03:21,160
\ndon’t enjoy religion, certainly
\ndon’t enjoy religion and then <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:21,160 –> 00:03:23,720
\nyou’re halfway to being a Bible
\nstudent. <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:24,840 –> 00:03:29,200
\nMay may I have no knowledge of
\nthe ability of young people in <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:29,200 –> 00:03:33,600
\nNorth America, but may I just
\nhit that idea on the head right <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:33,600 –> 00:03:37,680
\naway.
\nBible study can be very good fun<\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:38,320 –> 00:03:42,680
\nand I truly mean that.
\nYou do not have to have a long <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:42,680 –> 00:03:45,240
\nface.
\nYou have to be able to enjoy <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:45,240 –> 00:03:48,240
\nyour religion.
\nNot like the the Pharisees in <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:48,240 –> 00:03:50,600
\nthe day of Jesus.
\nDo you remember them, the <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:50,600 –> 00:03:53,720
\nPharisees in the day of Jesus?
\nThey, they painted their faces <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:53,720 –> 00:03:57,800
\ngrey to give the impression of,
\nof, of, of dolefulness. <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:57,800 –> 00:04:00,800
\nThey put ashes on their head
\nlest anybody think they might be<\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:00,800 –> 00:04:04,320
\nenjoying their rigid religion.
\nAnd they said, look, we must be,<\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:04,520 –> 00:04:07,160
\nwe must be pleasing to God.
\nLook how miserable we are. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:08,440 –> 00:04:10,920
\nWell, they were about as far
\naway from the truth as it’s <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:10,920 –> 00:04:15,240
\npossible to get one day.
\nLet’s not let our religion <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:15,240 –> 00:04:18,279
\naffect us like that.
\nWhere there is a saying in <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:18,279 –> 00:04:22,079
\nEngland, I’m not sure whether
\nit’s reached this far. <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:22,360 –> 00:04:26,560
\nThis man is they, they point out
\nreligious folk and they say this<\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:26,560 –> 00:04:29,440
\nman is just sufficiently
\nreligious to make him miserable.<\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:29,720 –> 00:04:31,720
\nWell, we, we want to know
\nnothing of that. <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:32,280 –> 00:04:38,080
\nWe are, we are happy folk with a
\nkeen sense of humour, a love of <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:38,080 –> 00:04:44,000
\nthe Bible and undesigned Bible
\ncoincidences make a superstar to<\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:44,000 –> 00:04:46,560
\nBible study.
\nI’m I’m indebted to a gentleman <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:46,560 –> 00:04:50,600
\nwhose name is Blunt, who wrote a
\nbook called Undesigned Bible <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:50,600 –> 00:04:52,480
\nCoincidences.
\nIt went out of print. <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:52,920 –> 00:04:57,520
\nIt has subsequently been not
\nreissued by, but republished by <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:57,520 –> 00:05:00,600
\nthe Christadelphian Office.
\nAnd if you’ve never had one or <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:00,600 –> 00:05:04,120
\nyou haven’t got one on your
\necclesial bookshelf, talk to <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:04,120 –> 00:05:07,080
\nyour CYC leaders or your Sunday
\nschool leaders and say, will you<\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:07,080 –> 00:05:10,000
\nplease get this book for our,
\nour cast or our group? <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:10,880 –> 00:05:13,160
\nBlunt undesigned Bible
\ncoincidences. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:13,160 –> 00:05:15,960
\nI recommend it to you.
\nThe English is a bit archaic <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:16,160 –> 00:05:18,920
\nwhen you, when you come to it,
\nyou have to read it about four <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:18,920 –> 00:05:21,080
\ntimes before you know what he’s
\ntalking about. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:21,080 –> 00:05:23,760
\nBut but it’s, it’s well worth
\ndoing and it will whet your <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:23,760 –> 00:05:26,120
\nappetite for Bible study.
\nIt really will. <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:26,280 –> 00:05:31,280
\nI recommend it to you highly.
\nBut a word of a word of caution.<\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:31,880 –> 00:05:35,000
\nDon’t be satisfied with what Mr.
\nBlunt tells you. <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:35,560 –> 00:05:39,320
\nLook, look for Bible
\ncoincidences yourself because it<\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:39,320 –> 00:05:44,280
\nis only when you do that, it is
\nonly when you find these what I <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:44,280 –> 00:05:48,800
\ncall gems the, the, the, the
\nBible comes to light. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:48,800 –> 00:05:52,240
\nAnd it’s good fun to look for
\nthem because you have to have a,<\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:52,480 –> 00:05:56,120
\na passing knowledge of the word.
\nAnd for that reason we encourage<\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:56,600 –> 00:06:01,440
\nyou to read also.
\nWell, a coincidence is when two <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:01,440 –> 00:06:04,400
\nor more things happen that have
\nnot been designed. <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:05,000 –> 00:06:09,480
\nIf, if I see someone whom I’ve
\nnot seen for 10 years in the <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:09,480 –> 00:06:13,800
\nstreet of a strange town, I say
\nwhat a coincidence meeting you <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:13,800 –> 00:06:16,360
\nhere.
\nYou see, the meeting has not <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:16,360 –> 00:06:19,040
\nbeen arranged.
\nIt’s it’s just happened. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:20,080 –> 00:06:22,120
\nAnd that’s what we’re going to
\nlook for in the Bible this <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:22,120 –> 00:06:24,240
\nevening.
\nThings that have happened <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:24,400 –> 00:06:30,800
\nwithout design by coincidence.
\nCan I just start off with a very<\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:30,800 –> 00:06:32,640
\nsimple one?
\nFirst of all, you won’t need <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:32,640 –> 00:06:35,680
\nyour books for this.
\nI mean, it’s, it’s so easy. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:35,680 –> 00:06:37,800
\nThis, this one you will know all
\nabout, I’m sure. <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:37,920 –> 00:06:40,240
\nBut this, this will set the
\npattern for what we’re going to <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:40,240 –> 00:06:42,360
\ndo this evening.
\nI can’t see that clock very <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:42,360 –> 00:06:46,240
\neasily, but I’m sure I’ve got a
\nvery lively president behind me <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:46,240 –> 00:06:48,960
\nwho’ll reach over and pull my
\ncoat or kick me when we come <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:48,960 –> 00:06:53,200
\nnear the time for stopping.
\nSo we won’t go on too long. <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:55,840 –> 00:06:58,360
\nWhen King?
\nWell, now I’ll just rephrase <\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:58,360 –> 00:07:00,440
\nthat.
\nWhen David, he wasn’t king at <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:00,440 –> 00:07:02,640
\nthe time.
\nTo which I bring you, When <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:02,640 –> 00:07:09,320
\nDavid, the king to be of Israel,
\nGod’s people, was being chased <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:09,320 –> 00:07:17,840
\nacross the Judean hills by by
\nSaul, his father-in-law, he <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:17,840 –> 00:07:20,920
\nmoved his parents away from
\nBethlehem. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:21,480 –> 00:07:25,120
\nDo you remember his thinking
\nwent like this? <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:26,080 –> 00:07:33,560
\nI suppose if Saul is so keen to
\nput his hands on my neck, if I <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:33,560 –> 00:07:36,200
\nwere King Saul, what action
\nwould I take? <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:37,560 –> 00:07:40,760
\nIf I couldn’t lay my hands on
\nDavid? <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:41,680 –> 00:07:44,600
\nPerhaps I would put my hands on
\nsomeone who was near and dear to<\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:44,600 –> 00:07:48,440
\nhim and say, surrender yourself,
\notherwise it’s too bad for these<\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:48,440 –> 00:07:54,560
\npeople whom you love.
\nHe loved his parents, Jesse and <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:54,560 –> 00:07:58,400
\nhis mother very much.
\nAnd so David trying to enter <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:58,400 –> 00:08:04,640
\ninto the mind of this
\npsychopath, this idiot king Saw <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:04,920 –> 00:08:07,920
\ntrying to get into his mind,
\nsaid I better protect my mother <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:07,920 –> 00:08:12,440
\nand my father lest Saw lays his
\nhands on them and say give <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:12,440 –> 00:08:14,600
\nyourself up, otherwise it’s too
\nbad for your parents. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:15,840 –> 00:08:19,880
\nAnd so he takes his parents away
\nfrom the relative safely of <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:19,880 –> 00:08:22,360
\nBethlehem and puts them
\nsomewhere else. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:23,680 –> 00:08:25,680
\nStrange thing is he puts them in
\nMoab. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:27,240 –> 00:08:31,160
\nNow that’s absolutely crazy
\nbecause Moab and Israel were at <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:31,160 –> 00:08:35,720
\nwar with each other, and the
\nBible doesn’t tell us why David <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:35,720 –> 00:08:43,159
\ndid it.
\nIt’s a bit like I’ll have to <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:43,159 –> 00:08:45,880
\nquote you an example from the
\nUnited Kingdom because my <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:45,880 –> 00:08:47,440
\nknowledge of North America is
\npoor. <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:48,280 –> 00:08:53,240
\nBut it’s rather like me being
\nworried about relatives of mine <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:53,240 –> 00:08:59,240
\nin Birmingham, England, where we
\nhave some violence and saying to<\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:59,240 –> 00:09:01,760
\nmy relative, look, I’m going to
\ntake you away from the relative <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:01,760 –> 00:09:03,520
\nsafely of Birmingham and put you
\nsomewhere else. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:03,520 –> 00:09:06,160
\nNot take them to Belfast in
\nNorthern Ireland where there’s a<\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:06,160 –> 00:09:08,760
\nbomb going off about every 5
\nminutes and people are getting <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:08,760 –> 00:09:13,160
\nshot every 10 minutes.
\nIt would be a crazy situation. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:13,160 –> 00:09:16,040
\nI’m taking them from somewhere
\nwhich is a bit dangerous to <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:16,040 –> 00:09:17,640
\nsomewhere where it’s very
\ndangerous. <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:17,800 –> 00:09:20,240
\nAnd David did exactly the same
\nit seems on the surface. <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:20,400 –> 00:09:23,480
\nHe takes his parents away from
\nBethlehem and it takes them to <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:23,680 –> 00:09:27,560
\nMoab and he says to the King of
\nMoab, look after my mum and dad,<\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:27,560 –> 00:09:30,880
\nwill you please?
\nWhy did he do it? <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:31,520 –> 00:09:35,760
\nThe Bible doesn’t tell us.
\nBut of course, the answer is <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:35,760 –> 00:09:39,520
\nthat David probably had
\nrelatives there because Ruth, <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:39,520 –> 00:09:41,600
\nhis great grandmother, came from
\nthere. <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:43,520 –> 00:09:46,920
\nBut the Bible doesn’t say if you
\nremember David had relatives in <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:46,920 –> 00:09:49,640
\nMoab.
\nIt just leaves us to find it <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:49,640 –> 00:09:53,280
\nout.
\nThat’s lifted straight from the <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:53,280 –> 00:09:58,440
\npages of of Blunt, but here is
\nanother one. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:58,440 –> 00:10:00,960
\nLet’s let’s have a look at we
\nmust open our Bibles. <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:00,960 –> 00:10:04,600
\nThis is a Bible class, isn’t it?
\nSo come to John chapter 6, the <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:04,600 –> 00:10:16,880
\nGospel of John chapter 6.
\nThe incident to which I bring <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:16,880 –> 00:10:22,040
\nyou is the feeding of the 5000
\nby the Master. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:23,720 –> 00:10:28,280
\nChapter 6 then, and verse 5.
\nWhen Jesus then lifted up his <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:28,280 –> 00:10:31,160
\neyes, and saw a great company
\ncome unto him, he saith unto <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:31,160 –> 00:10:34,520
\nPhilip, When shall we buy bread,
\nthat these may eat? <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:35,360 –> 00:10:38,760
\nAnd this he said to prove him,
\nfor he himself knew what he <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:38,760 –> 00:10:41,400
\nwould do.
\nPhilip answered, and gives him <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:41,400 –> 00:10:46,160
\nthe answer.
\nThe question is why did the Lord<\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:46,160 –> 00:10:50,560
\nask Philip?
\nNow I know what you’re going to <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:50,560 –> 00:10:52,440
\nsay.
\nYou’re going to say well, peace.<\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:52,720 –> 00:10:55,160
\nThe Lord tells us himself in
\nverse 6. <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:55,320 –> 00:10:59,120
\nThis He said to prove him.
\nBut why Philip particularly? <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:59,960 –> 00:11:03,120
\nWhy did he want to prove Philip?
\nDo you get the situation? <\/p>\n

170
\n00:11:03,360 –> 00:11:05,960
\nThere are 5000 people here and
\nthey’ve got nothing to eat. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:06,240 –> 00:11:08,240
\nNow, I don’t know who’s on your
\ncatering committee at Los <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:08,240 –> 00:11:11,000
\nAngeles, but I should think
\nyou’d need more than 5 minutes <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:11,000 –> 00:11:15,480
\nnotice to serve 5000 people with
\nwith something to eat, wouldn’t <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:15,480 –> 00:11:16,600
\nyou?
\nWe certainly would. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:16,600 –> 00:11:19,560
\nIn Birmingham, our catering
\ncommittee want six months notice<\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:19,560 –> 00:11:22,440
\nto, to, to serve a fraternal
\ngathering. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:24,600 –> 00:11:29,320
\nSo why does the Lord turn around
\nto Philip and say, do you happen<\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:29,320 –> 00:11:33,760
\nto know where we can buy enough
\nbread to feed 5000 people? <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:33,760 –> 00:11:35,040
\nAnd Philip takes him very
\nseriously. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:35,040 –> 00:11:37,200
\nHe said you’re going to need
\nmore than 200 pennies to, to, <\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:37,280 –> 00:11:45,240
\nto, to buy food for this lot,
\nbut no bakery is going to have <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:45,240 –> 00:11:46,800
\nenough bread at that time of
\nday. <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:46,800 –> 00:11:50,560
\nAre they leftover in the off
\nchance that 5000 people are <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:50,560 –> 00:11:52,560
\ngoing to wander by and need
\nfeeding? <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:52,560 –> 00:11:54,320
\nI mean, it’s ridiculous, isn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:55,080 –> 00:11:57,560
\nThe point is, why did the Lord
\nJesus Christ to our young <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:57,560 –> 00:11:59,280
\npeople?
\nWhy did the Lord Jesus Christ <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:59,280 –> 00:12:01,760
\naddress his question to Philip?
\nI know he wanted to test him. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:12:01,760 –> 00:12:04,960
\nI know he wanted to try Philip’s
\nfaith, but why Philip’s faith? <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:06,560 –> 00:12:08,160
\nWell, the Gospel of John doesn’t
\ntell us. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:08,160 –> 00:12:10,040
\nIt doesn’t say in parentheses
\nsometimes. <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:10,040 –> 00:12:12,440
\nIt would be nice if he did,
\nexcept we wouldn’t be Bible <\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:12,440 –> 00:12:16,400
\nstudents.
\nHe asked Philip because we we <\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:16,400 –> 00:12:20,520
\nneed to turn to a couple more
\npassages of scripture before we <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:20,520 –> 00:12:22,720
\nfind the answer.
\nAnd 1st we come to Luke Chapter <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:22,720 –> 00:12:29,240
\n9 remembering what we have found
\nin John chapter 6. <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:30,280 –> 00:12:39,520
\nWe come to Luke Chapter 9 and
\nverse 10 and we find that this <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:39,520 –> 00:12:41,120
\nis the same account.
\nThat is to say, it’s a <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:41,120 –> 00:12:44,400
\ncorresponding account in Luke
\nthat we have just read from <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:44,400 –> 00:12:47,480
\nJohn’s Gospel, Luke Chapter 9
\nand verse 10. <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:47,480 –> 00:12:51,560
\nAnd the apostles, when they were
\nreturned, told him all that they<\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:51,560 –> 00:12:53,920
\nhad done.
\nAnd he took them and went aside <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:53,920 –> 00:12:56,520
\nprivately into a desert place
\nbelonging to the city, called <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:56,520 –> 00:12:58,840
\nBeth Seder.
\nAnd the people, when they knew <\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:58,840 –> 00:13:01,080
\nit, followed him.
\nAnd he received them, and spake <\/p>\n

206
\n00:13:01,080 –> 00:13:04,600
\nunto them of the Kingdom of God,
\nand healed them that had need of<\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:04,600 –> 00:13:06,200
\nhealing.
\nAnd when the day began to wear <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:06,200 –> 00:13:08,560
\naway, then came the 12.
\nAnd they said, Send away the <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:08,560 –> 00:13:12,200
\nmultitude.
\nAll right, so it’s the same <\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:12,200 –> 00:13:15,080
\nincident, but this time we have
\nlearned that the place where <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:15,080 –> 00:13:20,000
\nthey were is called Bethsaida.
\nNow turn to the back to the <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:20,000 –> 00:13:31,760
\nGospel of John, but this time
\nchapter 1 and verse 44. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:32,880 –> 00:13:35,920
\nWell, verse 43 for connection.
\nThe day following, Jesus would <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:35,920 –> 00:13:38,960
\ngo forth into Galilee and
\nfindeth Philip and saith unto <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:38,960 –> 00:13:42,200
\nhim, Follow me.
\nNow Philip was of Bethsaida. <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:43,160 –> 00:13:45,680
\nAnd so by putting 3 passages of
\nscripture together, we can see <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:45,680 –> 00:13:48,080
\nwhy the Lord Jesus Christ would
\nask Philip the question. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:48,760 –> 00:13:50,760
\nWe have learned that they were
\nin Bethsaida. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:51,720 –> 00:13:55,960
\nPhilip was a native of Bethsaida
\nand he if anybody would know <\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:55,960 –> 00:14:00,040
\nwhere the red shops were.
\nAnd so the Lord addresses the <\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:00,040 –> 00:14:04,720
\nquestion to him and that is why.
\nBut of course Philip was put on <\/p>\n

222
\n00:14:04,720 –> 00:14:09,040
\ntrial as John chapter 6 and
\nverse 6 told us. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:14:11,400 –> 00:14:16,120
\nJust one more if we may, before
\nwe just go a little bit deeper. <\/p>\n

224
\n00:14:16,160 –> 00:14:24,920
\nAnd this is in Matthew chapter
\n26, which describes to us the <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:25,840 –> 00:14:34,040
\nthe agony of the Lord and his
\nsubsequent trial, Matthew <\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:34,040 –> 00:14:36,840
\nchapter 26.
\nI will read 3 verses commencing <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:36,840 –> 00:14:41,280
\nat 66.
\nWhat think he They answered and <\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:41,280 –> 00:14:45,360
\nsaid he is guilty of death.
\nThen did they spit in his face <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:45,360 –> 00:14:47,680
\nand buffeted him, and others
\nsmote him with the palms of <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:47,680 –> 00:14:52,160
\ntheir hands, saying Prophecy
\nunto us, thou Christ, who is he <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:52,160 –> 00:14:56,280
\nthat smote thee?
\nNow there’s something wrong <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:56,280 –> 00:14:59,880
\nthere, isn’t there?
\nYoung people, do you see what is<\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:59,880 –> 00:15:03,600
\nwrong with with that statement?
\nIf we only had one gospel, we <\/p>\n

234
\n00:15:03,600 –> 00:15:06,080
\nwould we would run into serious
\nproblems there. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:15:06,280 –> 00:15:07,880
\nI mean, the critics would have a
\nfield day. <\/p>\n

236
\n00:15:07,880 –> 00:15:09,720
\nThey do as it is because they
\ndon’t know the book. <\/p>\n

237
\n00:15:10,240 –> 00:15:15,120
\nBut do you see the problem?
\nJust just use your imagination, <\/p>\n

238
\n00:15:15,120 –> 00:15:16,760
\nif you will.
\nThe Lord Jesus Christ has been <\/p>\n

239
\n00:15:16,760 –> 00:15:21,520
\nbrought before these wicked men
\nand they’ve spit on him and <\/p>\n

240
\n00:15:21,520 –> 00:15:24,160
\nthey’ve buffeted him.
\nAnd then someone smites him with<\/p>\n

241
\n00:15:24,160 –> 00:15:28,280
\na palm of their hand across the
\nface, and they say prophecy unto<\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:28,280 –> 00:15:30,640
\nus, Thou Christ, who is it that
\nsmote thee? <\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:33,040 –> 00:15:36,640
\nWell, you wouldn’t have to be a
\na genius to see who it was, <\/p>\n

244
\n00:15:36,640 –> 00:15:38,880
\nwould you?
\nBecause you’d just be able to <\/p>\n

245
\n00:15:38,880 –> 00:15:45,120
\nsay it was that that person
\nthere until you open your book. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:45,120 –> 00:15:52,520
\nAlso Luke chapter 22 for the
\ncorresponding account by this <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:52,520 –> 00:15:59,600
\ngospel writer of the same
\nincident, Luke chapter 22 and <\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:59,600 –> 00:16:02,960
\nverse 63.
\nAnd the men that held Jesus <\/p>\n

249
\n00:16:02,960 –> 00:16:07,080
\nmocked him and smote him.
\nAnd when they had blindfolded <\/p>\n

250
\n00:16:07,080 –> 00:16:10,840
\nhim, they struck him on the face
\nand asked him, saying, prophecy,<\/p>\n

251
\n00:16:11,160 –> 00:16:14,600
\nWho is it that smote thee?
\nSo by putting the two accounts <\/p>\n

252
\n00:16:14,600 –> 00:16:17,240
\ntogether, we learned that the
\nLord Jesus Christ was <\/p>\n

253
\n00:16:17,240 –> 00:16:23,800
\nblindfolded ever before, ever
\nbefore they smote him. <\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:25,400 –> 00:16:28,600
\nBut Matthew isn’t isn’t
\nconcerned whether you believe it<\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:28,600 –> 00:16:30,720
\nor not.
\nMatthew is just writing down <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:30,720 –> 00:16:34,200
\nwhat he knows to be the truth.
\nHe happens to have omitted in <\/p>\n

257
\n00:16:34,200 –> 00:16:36,200
\nhis account that they
\nblindfolded him before they <\/p>\n

258
\n00:16:36,200 –> 00:16:41,160
\nstruck him.
\nLet’s just go a little bit <\/p>\n

259
\n00:16:41,160 –> 00:16:44,680
\ndeeper before we consider other
\nthings as well. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:16:46,520 –> 00:16:55,120
\nWhy was it, do you think that
\nAmsalom was so successful in his<\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:55,120 –> 00:16:59,640
\nabortive attempt to take the
\nthrone from his father David? <\/p>\n

262
\n00:17:01,280 –> 00:17:09,119
\nWhy do you think it was?
\nI suggest to you that the the <\/p>\n

263
\n00:17:09,119 –> 00:17:15,240
\nkey behind it all is Ahithophel.
\nAhithophel was the sage. <\/p>\n

264
\n00:17:15,240 –> 00:17:18,040
\nAhithophel was the wise man in
\nDavid’s time. <\/p>\n

265
\n00:17:19,680 –> 00:17:23,280
\nDavid is to say later on, and
\nwe’ll come to the verse in a <\/p>\n

266
\n00:17:23,280 –> 00:17:29,800
\nmoment, David is to say the the
\ncouncil of Ahithophel which he <\/p>\n

267
\n00:17:29,800 –> 00:17:34,560
\ncounselled is as if God had
\nspoken to men. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:17:36,680 –> 00:17:41,720
\nWhy?
\nWhy do you think it was that <\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:41,720 –> 00:17:45,120
\nAhithophel went so soon over to
\nAbsalom’s camp? <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:46,080 –> 00:17:50,240
\nIt’s a remarkable thing.
\nMay I suggest speaking to <\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:50,240 –> 00:17:53,800
\neverybody now that when we read
\nthe word of God, we do so with <\/p>\n

272
\n00:17:53,800 –> 00:17:57,200
\nsome imagination.
\nLet’s let’s get our minds <\/p>\n

273
\n00:17:57,200 –> 00:17:59,480
\nworking.
\nYou, you know the apostle Peter <\/p>\n

274
\n00:17:59,480 –> 00:18:02,560
\nis to say, look, let’s have a
\nspring clean in our mind. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:18:02,760 –> 00:18:06,280
\nGird up the loins of your mind.
\nIt’s a lovely expression goes <\/p>\n

276
\n00:18:06,280 –> 00:18:10,640
\nright back to the time of of
\nElijah when Elijah ran before <\/p>\n

277
\n00:18:10,640 –> 00:18:13,720
\nthe chariot of the king.
\nGird up the loins of your mind. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:18:13,720 –> 00:18:15,120
\nDo you know what he’s talking
\nabout? <\/p>\n

279
\n00:18:15,120 –> 00:18:17,520
\nDo you do you know where the
\nexpression comes from and why <\/p>\n

280
\n00:18:17,520 –> 00:18:20,320
\nit’s used?
\nI mean, in in those days they <\/p>\n

281
\n00:18:20,320 –> 00:18:22,680
\nhad clothes that came right down
\nto their ankles. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:18:24,320 –> 00:18:27,080
\nAnd you couldn’t run very
\nquickly in clothes like that. <\/p>\n

283
\n00:18:28,520 –> 00:18:32,520
\nSo when Elijah ran before the
\nchariot, he girded up his loins.<\/p>\n

284
\n00:18:32,520 –> 00:18:35,280
\nThat is to say, he pulled the
\nback through to the front and <\/p>\n

285
\n00:18:35,280 –> 00:18:37,800
\ntied it in a knot on his hip.
\nHe released his legs. <\/p>\n

286
\n00:18:37,800 –> 00:18:40,080
\nThey were free and he could run.
\nAnd my word, he ran very <\/p>\n

287
\n00:18:40,080 –> 00:18:42,840
\nquickly.
\nAnd the apostle Peter says, come<\/p>\n

288
\n00:18:42,840 –> 00:18:44,720
\non, let’s do this with our
\nminds. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:18:45,040 –> 00:18:47,640
\nGird up the loins of your mind,
\nblow the cobwebs away. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:18:47,800 –> 00:18:50,080
\nLet’s have a spring clean.
\nRead the word of God with <\/p>\n

291
\n00:18:50,080 –> 00:18:52,680
\nimagination.
\nEnough of this dullness. <\/p>\n

292
\n00:18:52,680 –> 00:18:55,400
\nJust doing your readings and
\nclosing the book and putting it <\/p>\n

293
\n00:18:55,400 –> 00:18:58,800
\nback on the shelf.
\nLet’s use our imagination when <\/p>\n

294
\n00:18:58,800 –> 00:19:01,960
\nwe read it, shall we?
\nAnd as you read it, are you not <\/p>\n

295
\n00:19:01,960 –> 00:19:05,880
\nsurprised at the reading which
\nour brother did for us this <\/p>\n

296
\n00:19:05,880 –> 00:19:09,920
\nevening by way of introduction
\nto this talk, that Absalom seems<\/p>\n

297
\n00:19:09,920 –> 00:19:13,720
\nto have almost free access,
\nBrother Jim, to to to the city <\/p>\n

298
\n00:19:13,720 –> 00:19:20,880
\nof Jerusalem.
\nI’m, I’m amazed Absalom comes to<\/p>\n

299
\n00:19:20,880 –> 00:19:25,160
\nthe gate of the city and he sits
\nin the gate of the city and <\/p>\n

300
\n00:19:25,160 –> 00:19:26,760
\npeople come for judgement.
\nAnd he said, what’s your <\/p>\n

301
\n00:19:26,760 –> 00:19:28,920
\nproblem?
\nAnd then they tell him what the <\/p>\n

302
\n00:19:28,920 –> 00:19:31,680
\nproblem is.
\nAnd he says, would God I were <\/p>\n

303
\n00:19:31,680 –> 00:19:33,920
\nking?
\nOh, you would. <\/p>\n

304
\n00:19:34,200 –> 00:19:37,640
\nI’m right on your side, Sir.
\nI have every sympathy with your <\/p>\n

305
\n00:19:37,640 –> 00:19:39,880
\ncause.
\nUnfortunately, there’s no man <\/p>\n

306
\n00:19:40,000 –> 00:19:43,040
\nhere to judge your case.
\nBut if I were in the position of<\/p>\n

307
\n00:19:43,040 –> 00:19:46,200
\njudge, I’m right on your side
\nand I would resolve your problem<\/p>\n

308
\n00:19:46,200 –> 00:19:52,640
\nfor you very quickly.
\nA little bit of poetic licence, <\/p>\n

309
\n00:19:52,640 –> 00:19:54,840
\nbut I think that’s the kind of
\nthing that he was saying. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:19:55,640 –> 00:19:58,600
\nRead the word of God and then
\nlet your imagination run right. <\/p>\n

311
\n00:19:58,840 –> 00:20:02,880
\nDon’t go outside the parameter
\nof of Bible teaching, otherwise <\/p>\n

312
\n00:20:02,880 –> 00:20:05,800
\nyou’ll be in trouble.
\nBut stay, read the word <\/p>\n

313
\n00:20:05,800 –> 00:20:08,760
\ncarefully and, and, and then let
\nyour imagination go to work on <\/p>\n

314
\n00:20:08,760 –> 00:20:10,120
\nit.
\nYou see all sorts of things. <\/p>\n

315
\n00:20:10,200 –> 00:20:13,120
\nWe’ll come to another one
\nperhaps a little later. <\/p>\n

316
\n00:20:14,720 –> 00:20:19,560
\nBut Absalom comes into the city
\nand, and, and there, there, <\/p>\n

317
\n00:20:19,600 –> 00:20:24,760
\nthere he has free reign to
\ncriticize the king, to criticize<\/p>\n

318
\n00:20:24,760 –> 00:20:26,760
\nthe King’s judges.
\nWhere are they? <\/p>\n

319
\n00:20:27,920 –> 00:20:30,640
\nMay I suggest to you that David
\nis very sick at this time? <\/p>\n

320
\n00:20:31,880 –> 00:20:34,920
\nMay I suggest that David perhaps
\nhas leprosy? <\/p>\n

321
\n00:20:36,440 –> 00:20:38,840
\nIt would certainly account for
\nsome of the Psalms which he <\/p>\n

322
\n00:20:38,840 –> 00:20:42,080
\nwrote.
\nI am a loathsome person. <\/p>\n

323
\n00:20:42,080 –> 00:20:45,360
\nHe says I stink, but my
\nacquaintances are far from me. <\/p>\n

324
\n00:20:45,560 –> 00:20:49,920
\nI count all the bones.
\nI’m like a worm. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:20:49,920 –> 00:20:52,320
\nI’m a terrible man.
\nOh, I know that they are <\/p>\n

326
\n00:20:52,320 –> 00:20:57,120
\nMessianic, these Psalms, but
\nsurely they must at one time <\/p>\n

327
\n00:20:57,120 –> 00:20:58,720
\nhave applied to the man who
\nwrote them. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:21:02,880 –> 00:21:05,680
\nI won’t insist on that.
\nI just put it to you as a <\/p>\n

329
\n00:21:05,680 –> 00:21:08,960
\nthought.
\nCertainly David wasn’t where he <\/p>\n

330
\n00:21:08,960 –> 00:21:11,160
\nshould have been, nor were his
\njudges. <\/p>\n

331
\n00:21:11,160 –> 00:21:12,920
\nThey should have been in the
\ngate to say to Absalom, what are<\/p>\n

332
\n00:21:12,920 –> 00:21:16,800
\nyou doing here?
\nAs it is, Absalom is allowed <\/p>\n

333
\n00:21:16,800 –> 00:21:21,800
\nfree reign to sow subversion
\namong the people, and he’s just <\/p>\n

334
\n00:21:21,800 –> 00:21:23,760
\nwaiting to make his move.
\nAnd then he does. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:21:24,040 –> 00:21:27,320
\nAnd the hinge behind it all is
\nthis man called Ahithophel. <\/p>\n

336
\n00:21:27,560 –> 00:21:31,200
\nAhithophel was, shall we say,
\nnot the Prime Minister, but he <\/p>\n

337
\n00:21:31,200 –> 00:21:34,640
\nwas, he was the leading seer in
\nthe days of David. <\/p>\n

338
\n00:21:35,720 –> 00:21:38,880
\nIf you wanted good advice, I
\nmean, if David wanted to know <\/p>\n

339
\n00:21:38,880 –> 00:21:41,320
\nwhether he should attack the
\nPhilistines, he, he has to <\/p>\n

340
\n00:21:41,400 –> 00:21:44,800
\nAhithophel.
\nHithophel knew all the answers. <\/p>\n

341
\n00:21:45,400 –> 00:21:49,760
\nWise man.
\nAbsalom comes on the scene and <\/p>\n

342
\n00:21:49,760 –> 00:21:53,600
\nhe says to Ahithophel, would you
\nlike to come and serve in my <\/p>\n

343
\n00:21:53,600 –> 00:21:57,600
\ngovernment?
\nAnd Ahithophel says, yes, I <\/p>\n

344
\n00:21:57,600 –> 00:22:00,760
\nwill.
\nOn the surface, I’m amazed that <\/p>\n

345
\n00:22:00,760 –> 00:22:04,400
\nAhithophel, a man being so loyal
\nto David, should go over to the <\/p>\n

346
\n00:22:04,400 –> 00:22:08,520
\ncamp of Absalom with no more
\nthan a nod and a wink from the <\/p>\n

347
\n00:22:08,520 –> 00:22:12,040
\nyoung man.
\nWhy do you think he did it? <\/p>\n

348
\n00:22:13,920 –> 00:22:15,880
\nWell, the second book of Samuel
\ndoesn’t tell us. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:22:16,560 –> 00:22:19,480
\nWell, he doesn’t tell us in as
\nmany words, and it’s only when <\/p>\n

350
\n00:22:19,480 –> 00:22:24,880
\nwe find out that we see the
\nsignificance behind the move of <\/p>\n

351
\n00:22:24,880 –> 00:22:29,720
\na hithophel.
\nThen, as David is tracing the <\/p>\n

352
\n00:22:29,720 –> 00:22:31,960
\nsteps which the Lord Jesus
\nChrist himself will trace <\/p>\n

353
\n00:22:31,960 –> 00:22:37,880
\nshortly, within a few years,
\nrelatively speaking, the Master <\/p>\n

354
\n00:22:37,880 –> 00:22:41,600
\nhimself would take the same
\njourney that David took out, <\/p>\n

355
\n00:22:41,600 –> 00:22:46,720
\ncoming out of the city, weeping
\nas he goes out of the gate, down<\/p>\n

356
\n00:22:46,720 –> 00:22:51,360
\nthe hill, across the stream.
\nKidron ascends the Mount of <\/p>\n

357
\n00:22:51,360 –> 00:22:56,000
\nOlives, weeping as he went.
\nDavid had taken exactly the same<\/p>\n

358
\n00:22:56,000 –> 00:22:59,760
\njourney, turned out of his own
\ncity, typing the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

359
\n00:22:59,760 –> 00:23:06,280
\nChrist did King David and King
\nDavid returned in triumph in <\/p>\n

360
\n00:23:06,280 –> 00:23:08,920
\ngreat glory.
\nAnd thank God the Master will <\/p>\n

361
\n00:23:08,920 –> 00:23:10,520
\ntoo.
\nBut that’s another subject. <\/p>\n

362
\n00:23:11,480 –> 00:23:14,720
\nSo we come to a hit, the film.
\nI bring you then into the Old <\/p>\n

363
\n00:23:14,720 –> 00:23:16,840
\nTestament, to the second book of
\nSamuel. <\/p>\n

364
\n00:23:25,680 –> 00:23:34,280
\nAnd chapter 15, please.
\nAnd verse 31, second book of <\/p>\n

365
\n00:23:34,280 –> 00:23:37,880
\nSamuel, chapter 15, verse 31.
\nAnd one told David saying, <\/p>\n

366
\n00:23:37,880 –> 00:23:40,440
\nAhithophel is among the
\nconspirators with Absalom. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:23:41,000 –> 00:23:45,680
\nAnd David said, Oh Lord, I pray
\nthee, turn the counsel of <\/p>\n

368
\n00:23:45,680 –> 00:23:53,440
\nAhithophel into foolishness. 2nd
\nbook of Samuel, chapter 23. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:23:59,080 –> 00:24:01,400
\nHere we have a catalog of
\nDavid’s mighty men. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:24:01,440 –> 00:24:06,400
\nWe’re going to read some of 37
\nwho are listed as being mighty <\/p>\n

371
\n00:24:06,400 –> 00:24:10,000
\nmen of David.
\nVerse 34. <\/p>\n

372
\n00:24:12,480 –> 00:24:16,360
\nThe last part of the verse,
\nEliam the son of Ahithophel the <\/p>\n

373
\n00:24:16,360 –> 00:24:21,080
\nGylonite, Eliam the son of a
\nHithophel the Gylonite. <\/p>\n

374
\n00:24:21,520 –> 00:24:26,240
\nVerse 39.
\nUriah the Hittite. 30 and seven <\/p>\n

375
\n00:24:26,240 –> 00:24:29,480
\nin all.
\nSo 2 of David’s mighty men, of <\/p>\n

376
\n00:24:29,480 –> 00:24:35,360
\nwhich 37 are listed here, are
\nEliam the son of a Hithophel the<\/p>\n

377
\n00:24:35,360 –> 00:24:44,000
\nGylonite, and Uriah the Hittite.
\nCome back to Chapter 11. <\/p>\n

378
\n00:24:56,880 –> 00:25:03,000
\nAnd verse 3 And David sent and
\ninquired after the woman and <\/p>\n

379
\n00:25:03,000 –> 00:25:07,480
\nonce said he’s not this
\nBathsheba, the daughter of <\/p>\n

380
\n00:25:07,480 –> 00:25:09,920
\nElian, the wife of Uriah the
\nHittite. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:25:10,680 –> 00:25:14,640
\nDo you see what’s happened?
\nElian and Uriah, our brother <\/p>\n

382
\n00:25:14,640 –> 00:25:17,960
\nofficers 2 of David’s mighty
\nmen. <\/p>\n

383
\n00:25:18,120 –> 00:25:20,760
\nEliam is the is the son of a
\nHithophel. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:25:21,800 –> 00:25:26,320
\nUriah then becomes son-in-law to
\na Hithophel. <\/p>\n

385
\n00:25:30,280 –> 00:25:38,240
\nBathsheba.
\nBathsheba is the daughter of <\/p>\n

386
\n00:25:38,320 –> 00:25:45,280
\nEliam and David Tucker.
\nBathsheba is the granddaughter <\/p>\n

387
\n00:25:45,640 –> 00:25:50,120
\nof Ahithophel.
\nThe generation goes Ahithophel <\/p>\n

388
\n00:25:50,840 –> 00:26:00,640
\nElian Bathsheba, and because
\nDavid spoiled Ahithophel’s <\/p>\n

389
\n00:26:00,640 –> 00:26:06,560
\ngranddaughter Bathsheba,
\nAhithophel the wise old man is <\/p>\n

390
\n00:26:06,560 –> 00:26:09,520
\nfrom that moment waiting to put
\nthe knife into David. <\/p>\n

391
\n00:26:10,560 –> 00:26:14,120
\nCan you not imagine it if you
\nhave grandchildren? <\/p>\n

392
\n00:26:14,120 –> 00:26:15,840
\nCan can you?
\nAnd if you haven’t, will you <\/p>\n

393
\n00:26:15,840 –> 00:26:20,200
\nimagine it what it would be like
\nto see this child? <\/p>\n

394
\n00:26:20,720 –> 00:26:25,200
\nYou will regard her as a child
\nspoiled by a man who had <\/p>\n

395
\n00:26:25,200 –> 00:26:28,920
\neverything.
\nAnd from that moment, if you are<\/p>\n

396
\n00:26:28,920 –> 00:26:33,360
\na Hissophel, you are just
\nwaiting for an opportunity to <\/p>\n

397
\n00:26:33,360 –> 00:26:37,400
\ndestroy him.
\nAnd Absalom comes on the scene <\/p>\n

398
\n00:26:37,400 –> 00:26:41,400
\nand he says, will you help me?
\nAnd he says I certainly will. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:26:41,880 –> 00:26:44,280
\nIt isn’t to be wondered that is
\nit, that he now goes over to the<\/p>\n

400
\n00:26:44,280 –> 00:26:51,040
\ncamp of of Absalom.
\nBut did you notice through the <\/p>\n

401
\n00:26:51,040 –> 00:26:55,960
\nreadings what it was Ahithophel
\nadvised Absalom to do? <\/p>\n

402
\n00:26:58,800 –> 00:27:05,240
\nHe, he says, take the concubines
\nof David, take them up to the <\/p>\n

403
\n00:27:05,240 –> 00:27:07,840
\nroof of the house, and then lie
\nwith them in the sight of the <\/p>\n

404
\n00:27:07,840 –> 00:27:12,440
\nsun.
\nAnd before all Israel, the same <\/p>\n

405
\n00:27:12,440 –> 00:27:17,480
\nsin in the same place that David
\nhad done to his beloved <\/p>\n

406
\n00:27:17,960 –> 00:27:23,000
\ngranddaughter.
\nAnd of course, the Word of God <\/p>\n

407
\n00:27:23,000 –> 00:27:24,800
\ndoesn’t tell us that in three
\nverses. <\/p>\n

408
\n00:27:25,440 –> 00:27:28,240
\nWe need 3 or 4 passages of
\nScripture to put it together. <\/p>\n

409
\n00:27:29,360 –> 00:27:33,600
\nAnd I’m thankful that he doesn’t
\nin a way, because it makes the <\/p>\n

410
\n00:27:33,600 –> 00:27:35,080
\nWord of God very much more
\ninteresting. <\/p>\n

411
\n00:27:35,080 –> 00:27:37,160
\nWell, it does for me.
\nMaybe stay just with this <\/p>\n

412
\n00:27:37,160 –> 00:27:40,720
\nincident a little while, will
\nyou Remember that when David <\/p>\n

413
\n00:27:40,720 –> 00:27:44,200
\nwent out of Jerusalem, there was
\na man who threw stones and dust <\/p>\n

414
\n00:27:44,200 –> 00:27:47,720
\ninto the air, threw stones
\nacross at David and called him a<\/p>\n

415
\n00:27:47,720 –> 00:27:52,040
\nman of blood.
\nThe man’s name was Shimiai. <\/p>\n

416
\n00:27:52,040 –> 00:27:56,360
\nDo you remember?
\nOf course you do you. <\/p>\n

417
\n00:27:56,720 –> 00:27:59,840
\nYou’re well taught in in North
\nAmerica, do you? <\/p>\n

418
\n00:28:00,560 –> 00:28:02,360
\nDo you know the town from which
\nhe came? <\/p>\n

419
\n00:28:02,360 –> 00:28:04,000
\nYou don’t find this in Blunt, do
\nyou? <\/p>\n

420
\n00:28:04,160 –> 00:28:06,000
\nDo you know the town?
\nWhere? <\/p>\n

421
\n00:28:06,000 –> 00:28:10,960
\nDo you know where he lived?
\nI mean, you can call out if you <\/p>\n

422
\n00:28:10,960 –> 00:28:14,000
\nlike.
\nI am many things, but I’m seldom<\/p>\n

423
\n00:28:14,000 –> 00:28:17,040
\nembarrassed.
\nBut if if you don’t want to call<\/p>\n

424
\n00:28:17,040 –> 00:28:18,720
\nout, I won’t believe it because
\nyou don’t know. <\/p>\n

425
\n00:28:18,720 –> 00:28:21,200
\nIt’s because you’re reticent.
\nI understand that as well. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:28:21,720 –> 00:28:26,440
\nYeah.
\nWell, he came from Behurim. <\/p>\n

427
\n00:28:27,560 –> 00:28:29,320
\nDid Shumiah?
\nWell, he just remember that <\/p>\n

428
\n00:28:30,200 –> 00:28:33,920
\nShumiah came from Behurim.
\nWe need to use our imagination. <\/p>\n

429
\n00:28:34,400 –> 00:28:38,040
\nFor this is a little more poetic
\nlicence, Mr. Shim. <\/p>\n

430
\n00:28:41,600 –> 00:28:48,520
\nNow, when David was made king
\nover all Israel, that is to say <\/p>\n

431
\n00:28:48,520 –> 00:28:52,400
\nwhen Benjamin came and joined
\nhim, the first thing that he <\/p>\n

432
\n00:28:52,400 –> 00:28:54,400
\nsaid he wanted was his wife
\nback. <\/p>\n

433
\n00:28:54,400 –> 00:28:57,480
\nHis first wife, Michael, Saul’s
\ndaughter. <\/p>\n

434
\n00:28:58,800 –> 00:29:01,480
\nThere’s very interesting
\nscripture around here. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:29:02,120 –> 00:29:05,560
\nDavid married Saul.
\nDavid married Saul’s daughter <\/p>\n

436
\n00:29:05,560 –> 00:29:11,080
\nMichael, and they were very much
\nin love, so much so that when <\/p>\n

437
\n00:29:11,080 –> 00:29:16,800
\nSaul was chasing David, he comes
\nto David’s house with messengers<\/p>\n

438
\n00:29:17,640 –> 00:29:21,520
\nand they knock on the knock on
\nthe door and say we have to take<\/p>\n

439
\n00:29:21,520 –> 00:29:23,920
\nDavid away.
\nCan’t do it, says Michael. <\/p>\n

440
\n00:29:23,920 –> 00:29:26,400
\nHe’s very sick.
\nIs he where, where? <\/p>\n

441
\n00:29:26,680 –> 00:29:30,280
\nCome and have a look.
\nAnd there is an image in in in <\/p>\n

442
\n00:29:30,280 –> 00:29:32,280
\nthe bed.
\nShe will know and and David <\/p>\n

443
\n00:29:32,280 –> 00:29:34,800
\ntears off.
\nAnd when the messengers go back <\/p>\n

444
\n00:29:34,800 –> 00:29:36,520
\nto King’s Hall, they say we
\ncouldn’t bring you because he’s <\/p>\n

445
\n00:29:36,520 –> 00:29:38,280
\nsick.
\nThat’s exactly how I want him, <\/p>\n

446
\n00:29:38,280 –> 00:29:40,080
\nsays King’s Hall.
\nHe’ll be very sick when I <\/p>\n

447
\n00:29:40,080 –> 00:29:41,400
\nfinished with him.
\nGo and fetch him. <\/p>\n

448
\n00:29:41,520 –> 00:29:43,640
\nAnd of course they uncover the
\nthe image and there’s nothing <\/p>\n

449
\n00:29:43,640 –> 00:29:46,240
\nthere.
\nAnd Michael is in very serious <\/p>\n

450
\n00:29:46,240 –> 00:29:48,600
\ntrouble for helping David
\nescape. <\/p>\n

451
\n00:29:49,880 –> 00:29:52,200
\nTwo people very much in love.
\nI mean, you don’t do that. <\/p>\n

452
\n00:29:52,200 –> 00:29:53,280
\nI shouldn’t think you do, Mr.
\nChairman. <\/p>\n

453
\n00:29:53,280 –> 00:29:55,040
\nYou wouldn’t do that for
\nsomebody of whom you’re <\/p>\n

454
\n00:29:55,160 –> 00:29:57,480
\nreasonably fund, which you
\nwouldn’t put your head on the <\/p>\n

455
\n00:29:57,480 –> 00:29:59,760
\nchopping block for somebody of
\nwhom you were reasonably fund. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:29:59,760 –> 00:30:01,640
\nYou’d have to love them very
\nmuch to do it, I would think <\/p>\n

457
\n00:30:01,640 –> 00:30:06,240
\nanyway.
\nAnd so Michael is is taken from <\/p>\n

458
\n00:30:06,240 –> 00:30:10,160
\nthe house and she goes back to
\nlive in, in, in with King Saul. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:30:11,200 –> 00:30:15,960
\nSaul is so irate with David that
\nhe gives Michael away to another<\/p>\n

460
\n00:30:15,960 –> 00:30:27,080
\nman whose name is Faltiel.
\nDavid wants Michael Beck when <\/p>\n

461
\n00:30:27,080 –> 00:30:29,920
\nhe’s made king over the whole
\nnation. <\/p>\n

462
\n00:30:31,360 –> 00:30:35,240
\nSome years have elapsed and we
\nhave reason to assume. <\/p>\n

463
\n00:30:35,280 –> 00:30:39,680
\nI suggest to you that Michael
\nand Faltiel are living a happy <\/p>\n

464
\n00:30:39,680 –> 00:30:45,640
\nlife.
\nThe messengers go to the House <\/p>\n

465
\n00:30:45,640 –> 00:30:48,480
\nof Faltiel, knock on the door
\nand say we want Michael for King<\/p>\n

466
\n00:30:48,480 –> 00:30:51,480
\nDavid.
\nWhat? <\/p>\n

467
\n00:30:51,480 –> 00:30:54,880
\nWhy should you take my wife?
\nShe’s my legal wife. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:30:55,480 –> 00:30:59,400
\nShe was divorced.
\nThe King Saul divorced her and <\/p>\n

469
\n00:30:59,400 –> 00:31:02,120
\ngave Michael to me.
\nNow we must take her back for <\/p>\n

470
\n00:31:02,120 –> 00:31:04,080
\nKing Saul, they say, for King
\nDavid. <\/p>\n

471
\n00:31:04,280 –> 00:31:07,360
\nSo they begin the journey back
\nand you’re in. <\/p>\n

472
\n00:31:07,360 –> 00:31:09,600
\nIt’s a it’s a desperately sad
\nsituation. <\/p>\n

473
\n00:31:10,440 –> 00:31:14,200
\nMichael is being taken back to
\nKing David and foul till her <\/p>\n

474
\n00:31:14,200 –> 00:31:17,680
\nhusband.
\nHe’s walking behind, weeping as <\/p>\n

475
\n00:31:17,680 –> 00:31:19,280
\nhe goes.
\nSo shame. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:31:19,360 –> 00:31:20,480
\nPoor fellow.
\nHe loved. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:31:20,480 –> 00:31:25,560
\nHe loved the girl very much.
\nI don’t doubt she loved him too.<\/p>\n

478
\n00:31:27,360 –> 00:31:31,040
\nUntil they reach halfway between
\nwhere they lived and Jerusalem, <\/p>\n

479
\n00:31:31,040 –> 00:31:35,040
\nwhich is where David was.
\nAnd then of course, they didn’t <\/p>\n

480
\n00:31:35,040 –> 00:31:38,000
\nwant foul teal turning up in
\nJerusalem behind his wife <\/p>\n

481
\n00:31:38,000 –> 00:31:41,120
\nweeping.
\nSo they said to him, this is <\/p>\n

482
\n00:31:41,120 –> 00:31:45,280
\nturn around time, boy, you must
\ngo back home now, otherwise <\/p>\n

483
\n00:31:45,560 –> 00:31:48,360
\nyou’ll be in serious trouble.
\nSo they turn him around and he <\/p>\n

484
\n00:31:48,360 –> 00:31:51,760
\ngoes back and there’s a big
\nscene at the at the place where <\/p>\n

485
\n00:31:51,760 –> 00:31:53,160
\nhe’s turned around to go back
\nhome. <\/p>\n

486
\n00:31:54,080 –> 00:31:59,240
\nThe scene took place.
\nThey hear him, and Shumii <\/p>\n

487
\n00:31:59,400 –> 00:32:02,920
\nwitnessed it.
\nAnd Shimiai was a man of <\/p>\n

488
\n00:32:02,920 –> 00:32:07,840
\nBenjamin, as was fowl Teal, as
\nwas Michael. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:32:11,240 –> 00:32:15,840
\nAnd this made a deep impression
\nupon Shimiai, and he remembered <\/p>\n

490
\n00:32:15,840 –> 00:32:21,240
\nit.
\nAnd so when King David left <\/p>\n

491
\n00:32:21,680 –> 00:32:26,880
\nJerusalem in something of a
\ndisgrace, with Solomon his son, <\/p>\n

492
\n00:32:26,880 –> 00:32:31,120
\nusurping him on the throne,
\nShimiai was very pleased, <\/p>\n

493
\n00:32:32,160 –> 00:32:34,440
\nbecause here at last was
\nvengeance for the tribe of <\/p>\n

494
\n00:32:34,440 –> 00:32:37,600
\nBenjamin against this upstart
\nJudaite. <\/p>\n

495
\n00:32:39,000 –> 00:32:41,320
\nAnd he calls him a man of blood.
\nOf course he’s a man of blood. <\/p>\n

496
\n00:32:41,320 –> 00:32:45,120
\nHe took, he took this man’s wife
\nwhen he already had many, many <\/p>\n

497
\n00:32:45,120 –> 00:32:48,680
\nmore.
\nAnd poor Thalteel, a man of <\/p>\n

498
\n00:32:48,680 –> 00:32:52,800
\nBenjamin, was sent home without
\nhis wife. <\/p>\n

499
\n00:32:56,000 –> 00:32:59,960
\nThere is a lot more surrounding
\nthat situation to which we would<\/p>\n

500
\n00:32:59,960 –> 00:33:06,920
\ncome.
\nBut I, I would like you please, <\/p>\n

501
\n00:33:06,920 –> 00:33:12,200
\nif you will, to, to join me in a
\nbit of, in a, in a bit of a bit <\/p>\n

502
\n00:33:12,200 –> 00:33:15,360
\nof work for yourselves.
\nI think this steward has some <\/p>\n

503
\n00:33:15,360 –> 00:33:18,880
\npapers which perhaps he could
\ngive out, unless he already has <\/p>\n

504
\n00:33:18,880 –> 00:33:22,480
\ndone so.
\nCould we give out some papers <\/p>\n

505
\n00:33:22,680 –> 00:33:26,600
\nplease?
\nCould we dole them out a paper <\/p>\n

506
\n00:33:26,600 –> 00:33:29,200
\nfor everybody?
\nWe haven’t got them. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:33:29,480 –> 00:33:32,320
\nOh, we have.
\nPlease, if we could give <\/p>\n

508
\n00:33:32,320 –> 00:33:33,600
\neverybody a paper, I would be
\nglad. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:33:33,600 –> 00:33:37,920
\nAnd then somebody else can do
\nsome work as well as me. <\/p>\n

510
\n00:33:38,840 –> 00:33:40,800
\nThank you.
\nVery simple exercise. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:33:40,800 –> 00:33:43,640
\nAt the end of which we will ask
\nyou a question which you will <\/p>\n

512
\n00:33:43,640 –> 00:33:47,200
\nget absolutely right without,
\nwithout hesitation. <\/p>\n

513
\n00:33:53,080 –> 00:33:58,240
\nOK, most of the most of the work
\non this paper, this was really <\/p>\n

514
\n00:33:58,240 –> 00:34:02,560
\nprepared for young people.
\nSo those who are advanced in <\/p>\n

515
\n00:34:02,560 –> 00:34:08,560
\nyears and as Bible students will
\ndo it with their eyes closed and<\/p>\n

516
\n00:34:08,560 –> 00:34:09,840
\nleft-handed.
\nHow about that? <\/p>\n

517
\n00:34:13,080 –> 00:34:17,000
\nYou’ll you’ll find it very easy
\nwhilst the papers are coming <\/p>\n

518
\n00:34:17,000 –> 00:34:20,159
\nround to you.
\nI’m not sure whether it will be <\/p>\n

519
\n00:34:20,159 –> 00:34:26,719
\nenough for everybody, but we’ve
\nused your photocopy in here to <\/p>\n

520
\n00:34:26,719 –> 00:34:32,600
\ndo at least half of them.
\nYou do need a pencil or a good <\/p>\n

521
\n00:34:32,600 –> 00:34:37,239
\nimagination and memory whilst
\nthey’re coming round to you, <\/p>\n

522
\n00:34:37,239 –> 00:34:45,440
\nthese papers.
\nLet me just say that what is <\/p>\n

523
\n00:34:45,600 –> 00:34:51,320
\nwhat is on on the paper for you
\nis a layout of the camp of <\/p>\n

524
\n00:34:51,320 –> 00:35:02,920
\nIsrael.
\nWith the why should the <\/p>\n

525
\n00:35:02,920 –> 00:35:09,240
\npresident escape?
\nKeep staying quiet. <\/p>\n

526
\n00:35:09,240 –> 00:35:15,360
\nYes, that that’s how the camp of
\nIsrael was with In the northern <\/p>\n

527
\n00:35:15,360 –> 00:35:17,560
\nsegment, the three tribes Dan,
\nAsh and Neftali. <\/p>\n

528
\n00:35:17,880 –> 00:35:21,200
\nIn the western segment Ephraim,
\nManasseh, Benjamin, In the <\/p>\n

529
\n00:35:21,200 –> 00:35:25,280
\neastern quarter Judah, Isika,
\nZebulun, In the southern portion<\/p>\n

530
\n00:35:25,320 –> 00:35:28,440
\nReuben, Simeon and Gad.
\nAnd then came to round the <\/p>\n

531
\n00:35:28,440 –> 00:35:32,240
\nTabernacle with the three sons
\nof of Aaron, Merari, Gershon and<\/p>\n

532
\n00:35:32,240 –> 00:35:34,560
\nKohath.
\nAnd before the eastern side of <\/p>\n

533
\n00:35:34,560 –> 00:35:36,720
\nthe Tabernacle came to Moses and
\nAaron. <\/p>\n

534
\n00:35:38,040 –> 00:35:42,880
\nOn the right hand side of your
\npaper you might see Gershon the <\/p>\n

535
\n00:35:42,960 –> 00:35:45,160
\nthe the family of Gershon, not
\nthe tribe because they were <\/p>\n

536
\n00:35:45,160 –> 00:35:46,880
\nLevites.
\nThe family of Gershon were <\/p>\n

537
\n00:35:46,880 –> 00:35:49,200
\nresponsible for moving the
\ncurtains and hangings. <\/p>\n

538
\n00:35:49,480 –> 00:35:52,320
\nKohath was responsible for
\nmoving the sanctuary, the ark, <\/p>\n

539
\n00:35:52,320 –> 00:35:54,800
\nthe table and the altar, that is
\nto say all the holy things of <\/p>\n

540
\n00:35:54,800 –> 00:35:57,120
\nGod.
\nAnd Mirari was responsible for <\/p>\n

541
\n00:35:57,120 –> 00:35:59,720
\nmoving when they were in
\ntransit, the boards, the bars, <\/p>\n

542
\n00:35:59,720 –> 00:36:02,640
\nthe pillars and the sockets, all
\nthe heavy weights and, and, and <\/p>\n

543
\n00:36:02,640 –> 00:36:05,760
\nthese are the things that they
\nhad to move. <\/p>\n

544
\n00:36:07,640 –> 00:36:09,560
\nAll the all the above
\ninformation, it’s very easy to <\/p>\n

545
\n00:36:09,560 –> 00:36:13,400
\nfind is is laid out before us in
\nNumbers chapter 2. <\/p>\n

546
\n00:36:14,560 –> 00:36:17,120
\nNow we need to open our Bibles
\nto Numbers chapter 10. <\/p>\n

547
\n00:36:24,080 –> 00:36:31,640
\nAnd this is a very easy sort of
\nexercise, bearing in mind the <\/p>\n

548
\n00:36:31,640 –> 00:36:44,160
\ntime, very easy sort of exercise
\nversus 14 to 16 is the first <\/p>\n

549
\n00:36:44,160 –> 00:36:46,280
\ninformation that we need.
\nMay I just tell you this? <\/p>\n

550
\n00:36:46,600 –> 00:36:48,480
\nIt’s always the problem.
\nWe know by the chairman, you <\/p>\n

551
\n00:36:48,960 –> 00:36:52,440
\ngive people papers and they’re
\nvery much more interested in <\/p>\n

552
\n00:36:52,440 –> 00:36:53,840
\nwhat’s on the paper than what
\nyou’re saying. <\/p>\n

553
\n00:36:54,360 –> 00:36:56,520
\nThe, the, the, the, I don’t
\nblame you either. <\/p>\n

554
\n00:36:56,520 –> 00:36:58,120
\nLet me tell.
\nI don’t blame you one bit. <\/p>\n

555
\n00:36:58,440 –> 00:37:02,080
\nThe, the, the trick is to dole
\nout the papers just at the right<\/p>\n

556
\n00:37:02,080 –> 00:37:03,560
\ntime, and I’ve never yet learned
\nit. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:37:03,760 –> 00:37:05,480
\nIf somebody knows, I’d be very
\nglad. <\/p>\n

558
\n00:37:05,480 –> 00:37:07,440
\nSee, people are far more
\ninterested in the papers. <\/p>\n

559
\n00:37:09,080 –> 00:37:12,360
\nWhen I was at Sunday school, in
\nthe capacity of a scholar, I was<\/p>\n

560
\n00:37:12,560 –> 00:37:16,120
\nconvinced that God moved his
\npeople through the desert as a <\/p>\n

561
\n00:37:16,120 –> 00:37:18,160
\nrebel.
\nYou know, you’ve got cows and <\/p>\n

562
\n00:37:18,160 –> 00:37:23,680
\nand sheep and goats and people
\nand carts and all sorts of just <\/p>\n

563
\n00:37:23,680 –> 00:37:27,200
\ncreating a huge cloud of dust as
\nthey trekked through the desert.<\/p>\n

564
\n00:37:27,280 –> 00:37:31,160
\nIt was not like that at all.
\nThey moved through the desert <\/p>\n

565
\n00:37:31,160 –> 00:37:34,520
\nwith with great orderliness.
\nThank you very much indeed for <\/p>\n

566
\n00:37:34,520 –> 00:37:36,880
\ndoling the papers out and for
\ncopying them. <\/p>\n

567
\n00:37:36,880 –> 00:37:43,960
\nThose of you who did, when God
\nmoved His people through the <\/p>\n

568
\n00:37:43,960 –> 00:37:46,080
\ndesert, it was done with
\nabsolute precision. <\/p>\n

569
\n00:37:46,320 –> 00:37:49,360
\nGod is not a God of disorder.
\nGod is a God of great <\/p>\n

570
\n00:37:49,360 –> 00:37:53,880
\norderliness, as we shall see.
\nSo what I want to do is move <\/p>\n

571
\n00:37:54,000 –> 00:37:59,320
\nthose segments from a from the
\ncamp and put them in order that <\/p>\n

572
\n00:37:59,320 –> 00:38:02,560
\nthey moved.
\nThe trumpet was blown and in <\/p>\n

573
\n00:38:02,560 –> 00:38:06,240
\nverse 14 and Numbers chapter 10
\nin the 1st place went the <\/p>\n

574
\n00:38:06,240 –> 00:38:08,960
\nstandard of the camp of the
\nchildren of Judah according to <\/p>\n

575
\n00:38:08,960 –> 00:38:12,840
\ntheir armies.
\nSo under the under the the <\/p>\n

576
\n00:38:12,840 –> 00:38:19,000
\nheading 14 to 16, you’re right.
\nThe tribes Judah, Issacah and <\/p>\n

577
\n00:38:19,000 –> 00:38:22,200
\nZebulun, you’ll see that there
\nare three spaces in which to <\/p>\n

578
\n00:38:22,200 –> 00:38:24,400
\nwrite that.
\nAnd that information is found in<\/p>\n

579
\n00:38:24,400 –> 00:38:27,320
\nNumbers chapter 10 verses 1415
\nand 16. <\/p>\n

580
\n00:38:30,480 –> 00:38:34,680
\nSo in verses 14 to 16, you’re
\nright, Judah, Issacah and <\/p>\n

581
\n00:38:34,680 –> 00:38:36,640
\nZebulun.
\nAnd what has happened is these 3<\/p>\n

582
\n00:38:36,640 –> 00:38:40,200
\ntribes have packed up their
\ntents and they’re now standing <\/p>\n

583
\n00:38:40,200 –> 00:38:43,520
\nin line waiting for the the
\nprocession to be completed <\/p>\n

584
\n00:38:43,640 –> 00:38:47,080
\nbefore they moved off.
\nIn verse 17, we we read what <\/p>\n

585
\n00:38:47,080 –> 00:38:49,840
\nhappened next.
\nThe Tabernacle was taken down <\/p>\n

586
\n00:38:49,840 –> 00:38:53,040
\nand the sons of Gershon and the
\nsons of Merari set forward <\/p>\n

587
\n00:38:53,200 –> 00:38:56,560
\nbearing the Tabernacle.
\nThat’s convenient because you’ve<\/p>\n

588
\n00:38:56,560 –> 00:38:58,440
\njust got 2 spaces under verse
\n17. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:38:58,600 –> 00:39:02,880
\nAnd in there you’re right,
\nGershon and Merari and they were<\/p>\n

590
\n00:39:02,880 –> 00:39:07,080
\ncarrying the the heavyweights
\nand they stood behind Judah, <\/p>\n

591
\n00:39:07,280 –> 00:39:11,840
\nIsika and Zebulun.
\nIn verse 18 we read of Numbers <\/p>\n

592
\n00:39:11,840 –> 00:39:15,160
\nchapter 10 and the standard of
\nthe camp Reuben set forward <\/p>\n

593
\n00:39:15,360 –> 00:39:22,240
\naccording to their armies and
\nalso with them moved the 2 <\/p>\n

594
\n00:39:22,240 –> 00:39:25,920
\ntribes that were with them, that
\nis Simeon and Gad. <\/p>\n

595
\n00:39:29,320 –> 00:39:34,000
\nAfter Simeon and Gad, verse 21
\nof Numbers chapter 10. <\/p>\n

596
\n00:39:34,200 –> 00:39:37,440
\nAnd the Kohathite set forward
\nbearing the sanctuary. <\/p>\n

597
\n00:39:39,160 –> 00:39:42,400
\nSo all the holy things were
\ncarried by the Kohathites in <\/p>\n

598
\n00:39:42,400 –> 00:39:45,440
\nverse 21.
\nAnd you only have one space in <\/p>\n

599
\n00:39:45,440 –> 00:39:51,040
\nwhich to write Kohath.
\nVerse 22 of Numbers chapter 10. <\/p>\n

600
\n00:39:51,560 –> 00:39:53,960
\nAnd the standard of the camp of
\nthe children of Ephraim set <\/p>\n

601
\n00:39:53,960 –> 00:39:55,440
\nforward according to their
\narmies. <\/p>\n

602
\n00:39:56,240 –> 00:40:01,240
\nAnd with them, of course went
\nManasseh and Benjamin. <\/p>\n

603
\n00:40:05,440 –> 00:40:09,840
\nAnd in verse 25.
\nAnd the standard of the camp of <\/p>\n

604
\n00:40:09,840 –> 00:40:14,640
\nthe children of Dan set forward.
\nDan, Asher and Naftali go in <\/p>\n

605
\n00:40:14,640 –> 00:40:19,400
\nthose three spaces there.
\nOK, now if you have completed <\/p>\n

606
\n00:40:19,400 –> 00:40:23,800
\nthose six boxes at the bottom of
\nthe page, you have moved <\/p>\n

607
\n00:40:23,880 –> 00:40:28,000
\neveryone from the camp.
\nThey’re now in a line. <\/p>\n

608
\n00:40:28,040 –> 00:40:34,800
\nThe procession is complete,
\nheaded headed by the 1st tribe <\/p>\n

609
\n00:40:35,360 –> 00:40:38,680
\nand completed by the last And
\nnow the track the the the <\/p>\n

610
\n00:40:38,680 –> 00:40:42,160
\nprocession is complete.
\nThey can journey forward through<\/p>\n

611
\n00:40:42,160 –> 00:40:44,840
\nthe desert.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n

612
\n00:40:45,520 –> 00:40:52,880
\nWill you please open your books
\nat Psalm 80 and I will read <\/p>\n

613
\n00:40:52,880 –> 00:40:58,040
\nverses 1 to 2 and then you will
\nperhaps write down, it might be <\/p>\n

614
\n00:40:58,040 –> 00:41:01,520
\na bit more orderly than asking
\nyou to to shout out if somebody <\/p>\n

615
\n00:41:01,520 –> 00:41:03,080
\ncalls out.
\nI might just ask you to come up <\/p>\n

616
\n00:41:03,080 –> 00:41:09,640
\nhere and tell everybody so.
\nSo just write down why these <\/p>\n

617
\n00:41:09,640 –> 00:41:13,040
\nverses are particularly relevant
\nto Numbers chapter 10. <\/p>\n

618
\n00:41:14,840 –> 00:41:16,640
\nThis is Psalm 80 verses one and
\ntwo. <\/p>\n

619
\n00:41:16,640 –> 00:41:20,960
\nGive you a shepherd of Israel,
\nThou that let us, Joseph like a <\/p>\n

620
\n00:41:20,960 –> 00:41:24,600
\nflock, Thou that dwellest
\nbetween the Caribbean, shine <\/p>\n

621
\n00:41:24,600 –> 00:41:27,200
\nforth before Ephraim and
\nBenjamin and Manasseh. <\/p>\n

622
\n00:41:27,640 –> 00:41:29,760
\nStir up thy strength and come
\nand save us. <\/p>\n

623
\n00:41:30,240 –> 00:41:31,240
\nTurn us again.
\nOh God. <\/p>\n

624
\n00:41:31,880 –> 00:41:35,640
\nAll right.
\nNow it’s fairly elementary, but <\/p>\n

625
\n00:41:36,560 –> 00:41:41,920
\nthis is simple Bible study which
\nis designed, I think, to wet our<\/p>\n

626
\n00:41:41,920 –> 00:41:50,120
\nappetite.
\nAnd the question is, what has <\/p>\n

627
\n00:41:50,240 –> 00:41:56,400
\nparticularly verse 2 of Psalm 80
\nto do with that procession which<\/p>\n

628
\n00:41:56,400 –> 00:42:00,720
\nyou have just completed at the
\nbottom of the paper? <\/p>\n

629
\n00:42:04,680 –> 00:42:07,880
\nWell, because time presses, and
\nI’m not going to call for <\/p>\n

630
\n00:42:07,880 –> 00:42:12,400
\nvolunteers, let me say that the
\nanswer, of course, which you <\/p>\n

631
\n00:42:12,400 –> 00:42:18,360
\nwill all know is because of the
\nplacing of the psalmist of the <\/p>\n

632
\n00:42:18,360 –> 00:42:22,480
\nthree tribes.
\nIf you look down under verse 22,<\/p>\n

633
\n00:42:23,440 –> 00:42:25,640
\nif you’ve done it properly, you
\nshould have the tribes Ephraim, <\/p>\n

634
\n00:42:25,640 –> 00:42:29,360
\nManasseh, and Benjamin.
\nAnd immediately before that, in <\/p>\n

635
\n00:42:29,360 –> 00:42:32,840
\nverse 21, you should have
\nwritten Kohath. <\/p>\n

636
\n00:42:33,960 –> 00:42:36,560
\nAnd if you look at what Kohath
\nwas designed to carry, it was <\/p>\n

637
\n00:42:36,560 –> 00:42:41,960
\nthe holy things of God.
\nIt was the Ark of the Covenant. <\/p>\n

638
\n00:42:42,840 –> 00:42:44,560
\nNot that any man could gaze on
\nit. <\/p>\n

639
\n00:42:45,280 –> 00:42:47,920
\nThey never saw the Ark of the
\nCovenant, you know, nor did they<\/p>\n

640
\n00:42:47,920 –> 00:42:50,120
\nsee the other holy things.
\nWhen the Tabernacle was <\/p>\n

641
\n00:42:50,120 –> 00:42:55,160
\ndismantled, the priest walked in
\nbackwards, unhooked the veil, <\/p>\n

642
\n00:42:55,840 –> 00:42:58,600
\ncarried it backwards, and put it
\nover the ark of the covenant so <\/p>\n

643
\n00:42:58,600 –> 00:43:01,720
\nthat no man should gaze on it.
\nThis is the holy thing of God. <\/p>\n

644
\n00:43:01,720 –> 00:43:05,840
\nIt is precious and it is holy,
\nand it must not be a gazing <\/p>\n

645
\n00:43:05,840 –> 00:43:09,400
\nthing, even for God’s people.
\nAnd so even in transit, it was <\/p>\n

646
\n00:43:09,400 –> 00:43:11,840
\ntotally covered.
\nBut look at the position it <\/p>\n

647
\n00:43:11,840 –> 00:43:16,280
\noccupied before Ephraim,
\nBenjamin, and Manasseh. <\/p>\n

648
\n00:43:16,760 –> 00:43:21,360
\nAnd whoever wrote Psalm 80 knew
\nthe position of the procession <\/p>\n

649
\n00:43:21,360 –> 00:43:23,840
\nthrough the desert.
\nAnd that’s exactly where he put <\/p>\n

650
\n00:43:23,840 –> 00:43:26,640
\nit before Ephraim, Benjamin, and
\nManasseh. <\/p>\n

651
\n00:43:26,800 –> 00:43:28,680
\nStir up thy strength and come
\nand save us. <\/p>\n

652
\n00:43:28,840 –> 00:43:30,960
\nMark this.
\nHe doesn’t say before Judah, <\/p>\n

653
\n00:43:31,120 –> 00:43:33,800
\nIsika, and Naftali.
\nWell, he wouldn’t, would he? <\/p>\n

654
\n00:43:33,800 –> 00:43:36,320
\nBecause Nephdali wasn’t with
\nJudah and Isika. <\/p>\n

655
\n00:43:37,640 –> 00:43:40,280
\nHe didn’t say before Judah,
\nIsika, and Zebulun. <\/p>\n

656
\n00:43:40,480 –> 00:43:43,800
\nHe didn’t say before Dan Ashter
\nand Asher and Neftali. <\/p>\n

657
\n00:43:43,960 –> 00:43:47,160
\nHe he said before Ephraim,
\nManassa, and Benjamin. <\/p>\n

658
\n00:43:47,160 –> 00:43:50,120
\nHe knew the order in the desert
\nand he knew that’s where the <\/p>\n

659
\n00:43:50,120 –> 00:43:55,160
\nholy things of God were.
\nI’m sorry that this has been a <\/p>\n

660
\n00:43:55,160 –> 00:43:57,080
\nlittle bit disorganized and the
\ntime has gone. <\/p>\n

661
\n00:43:57,080 –> 00:43:59,960
\nI would very much like to have
\nbrought you to to the to the <\/p>\n

662
\n00:43:59,960 –> 00:44:06,880
\ntime of Moses where he saw the
\nBush that was burning and when <\/p>\n

663
\n00:44:06,880 –> 00:44:11,960
\nhe went to Midian, because if we
\nuse our imagination of writer, <\/p>\n

664
\n00:44:12,000 –> 00:44:17,480
\nthis is something for you to do.
\nDo do you know I never believe <\/p>\n

665
\n00:44:17,480 –> 00:44:24,160
\nin saying will you read Exodus
\nchapter 3 when you get home <\/p>\n

666
\n00:44:24,440 –> 00:44:26,920
\nbecause nobody ever does.
\nWell, in my experience they <\/p>\n

667
\n00:44:26,920 –> 00:44:28,120
\ndon’t.
\nSo I won’t say it. <\/p>\n

668
\n00:44:28,120 –> 00:44:33,720
\nBut if ever you feel like doing
\nsome some of this kind of thing <\/p>\n

669
\n00:44:33,720 –> 00:44:36,440
\nyourself, which is pretty
\nelementary stuff really, isn’t <\/p>\n

670
\n00:44:36,440 –> 00:44:39,400
\nit?
\nIf ever you feel like doing it <\/p>\n

671
\n00:44:39,400 –> 00:44:45,120
\nyourself, will will you read
\nwith care the account when Moses<\/p>\n

672
\n00:44:47,760 –> 00:44:52,600
\nleaves Midian to come back to
\nEgypt? <\/p>\n

673
\n00:44:52,600 –> 00:44:58,160
\nIt it it, it, it jumps off the
\npage. <\/p>\n

674
\n00:44:58,160 –> 00:45:01,120
\nIf if you read it with care,
\nthen let your imagination have a<\/p>\n

675
\n00:45:01,120 –> 00:45:05,720
\ngo.
\nJust imagine what Jethro Moses, <\/p>\n

676
\n00:45:05,720 –> 00:45:07,440
\nbrother-in-law, not Moses,
\nfather-in-law. <\/p>\n

677
\n00:45:07,440 –> 00:45:09,800
\nBy the way, don’t read
\nfather-in-law for Jethro, will <\/p>\n

678
\n00:45:09,800 –> 00:45:10,640
\nyou?
\nIt’s his brother-in-law. <\/p>\n

679
\n00:45:14,720 –> 00:45:18,480
\nMoses comes to Jethro and he
\nsays I’m, I’m going to take <\/p>\n

680
\n00:45:18,480 –> 00:45:21,640
\nGod’s people out of Egypt to a
\nland of of promise. <\/p>\n

681
\n00:45:23,120 –> 00:45:27,880
\nAnd and Jethro says, you what?
\nHe said I’m going to take God’s <\/p>\n

682
\n00:45:27,880 –> 00:45:33,120
\npeople out of Egypt and into a
\nland of promise. <\/p>\n

683
\n00:45:34,320 –> 00:45:36,160
\nHow old are you?
\nOh, I’m 80. <\/p>\n

684
\n00:45:37,240 –> 00:45:41,480
\nLook, when you were 40, you ran
\naway and now you’re 80. <\/p>\n

685
\n00:45:41,480 –> 00:45:43,240
\nYou’re an old man.
\nYou’re going to do it all by <\/p>\n

686
\n00:45:43,280 –> 00:45:46,120
\nyourself.
\nSo what gave you this notion? <\/p>\n

687
\n00:45:46,680 –> 00:45:50,960
\nWell, you see, I saw this
\nburning Bush Burning. <\/p>\n

688
\n00:45:50,960 –> 00:45:52,160
\nWe’re here on the side of the
\nmountain. <\/p>\n

689
\n00:45:52,160 –> 00:45:54,680
\nYeah.
\nJust continue to burn. <\/p>\n

690
\n00:45:54,680 –> 00:45:56,560
\nYes.
\nWe know all about these bushes. <\/p>\n

691
\n00:45:56,840 –> 00:45:59,160
\nWhich Which way?
\nWhich way was the wind blowing? <\/p>\n

692
\n00:45:59,680 –> 00:46:01,480
\nBut you weren’t sort of standing
\ndownwind. <\/p>\n

693
\n00:46:01,480 –> 00:46:04,920
\nAnd the smoke was sort of.
\nWell, yes, as a matter of fact, <\/p>\n

694
\n00:46:04,920 –> 00:46:06,240
\nnow you’ve come to mention it,
\nThe. <\/p>\n

695
\n00:46:06,240 –> 00:46:09,280
\nI didn’t get a whiff of the
\nsmoke. <\/p>\n

696
\n00:46:09,680 –> 00:46:12,600
\nYou were hallucinating.
\nDo you know that’s where the <\/p>\n

697
\n00:46:12,600 –> 00:46:15,080
\nexpression grass comes from?
\nI’m deadly serious. <\/p>\n

698
\n00:46:15,080 –> 00:46:18,800
\nIt is drugs are grown around
\nthere and people burn them and <\/p>\n

699
\n00:46:18,800 –> 00:46:22,400
\ninhale them and you hallucinate
\nwildly. <\/p>\n

700
\n00:46:23,720 –> 00:46:26,440
\nCan you not then imagine what
\nwhat Jethro’s reaction would <\/p>\n

701
\n00:46:26,440 –> 00:46:28,760
\nhave been when Moses said and I
\nput my hand in my coat and I <\/p>\n

702
\n00:46:28,760 –> 00:46:29,800
\ntook it out and it was lip for
\nus. <\/p>\n

703
\n00:46:29,920 –> 00:46:31,440
\nI’m not at all surprised, said
\nJethro. <\/p>\n

704
\n00:46:31,680 –> 00:46:33,600
\nI suppose you put it back again
\nand took it out and it was <\/p>\n

705
\n00:46:33,600 –> 00:46:35,480
\nclean.
\nExactly right, said Moses. <\/p>\n

706
\n00:46:35,720 –> 00:46:38,560
\nIt happens all the time when you
\nwhen you breathe this stuff. <\/p>\n

707
\n00:46:39,600 –> 00:46:42,560
\nCan you not just imagine that
\nthis is what the conversation <\/p>\n

708
\n00:46:42,560 –> 00:46:45,120
\nthat would have taken place?
\nI’m going says, says Moses. <\/p>\n

709
\n00:46:45,120 –> 00:46:48,440
\nI’m going anyway.
\nAnd he takes Zippori with him, <\/p>\n

710
\n00:46:48,440 –> 00:46:50,680
\nJethro’s sister and the two
\nboys. <\/p>\n

711
\n00:46:52,560 –> 00:46:58,000
\nAnd we read of the confrontation
\nwith the Angel on on on the way <\/p>\n

712
\n00:46:58,360 –> 00:47:04,320
\nto Egypt and the boys are
\ncircumcised by Zipporah. <\/p>\n

713
\n00:47:05,880 –> 00:47:08,160
\nI mean, don’t think of children,
\nwill you, Brethren and sisters? <\/p>\n

714
\n00:47:09,320 –> 00:47:17,200
\nThese were 30 year old men.
\nOh yes, it isn’t to be wondered <\/p>\n

715
\n00:47:17,200 –> 00:47:19,280
\nat that she calls Moses a man of
\nblood. <\/p>\n

716
\n00:47:20,840 –> 00:47:26,080
\nIt was a horrendous experience
\nfor the woman, and we hear no <\/p>\n

717
\n00:47:26,080 –> 00:47:33,160
\nmore about them, no more about
\nZipporah or the two boys until, <\/p>\n

718
\n00:47:35,200 –> 00:47:41,240
\nwell, until Moses is well out
\ninto the desert. <\/p>\n

719
\n00:47:45,360 –> 00:47:50,000
\nThey have crossed the Red Sea,
\nthe plagues are a thing of the <\/p>\n

720
\n00:47:50,000 –> 00:47:54,760
\npast, and Moses meets Jethro in
\nthe desert. <\/p>\n

721
\n00:47:59,360 –> 00:48:05,760
\nAaron and Miriam chided Moses
\nfor the woman whom he had <\/p>\n

722
\n00:48:05,760 –> 00:48:09,080
\nmarried.
\nIt wasn’t that he had married <\/p>\n

723
\n00:48:09,320 –> 00:48:12,720
\nthe Ethiopian woman or the dark
\nwoman, the Midianite woman. <\/p>\n

724
\n00:48:13,680 –> 00:48:15,760
\nIt is that they have only just
\nlearned about it. <\/p>\n

725
\n00:48:17,160 –> 00:48:20,760
\nBecause it is then that we read
\nthat after the confrontation <\/p>\n

726
\n00:48:20,760 –> 00:48:25,800
\nwith the Angel on the way from
\nMidian to Egypt, Moses sent <\/p>\n

727
\n00:48:25,800 –> 00:48:32,360
\nZipporah and the boys back so
\nthat when he gets into Egypt, he<\/p>\n

728
\n00:48:32,360 –> 00:48:35,120
\ndoesn’t tell Aaron and Miriam
\nthat he’s married. <\/p>\n

729
\n00:48:36,480 –> 00:48:39,680
\nHe went away a bachelor.
\nThey think he comes back a <\/p>\n

730
\n00:48:39,680 –> 00:48:45,000
\nbachelor.
\nSo that when Jethro preaches up <\/p>\n

731
\n00:48:45,560 –> 00:48:51,200
\nin the in the desert and brings
\nhis wife and his two sons, Moses<\/p>\n

732
\n00:48:51,200 –> 00:48:52,920
\nhas some very fast explaining to
\ndo. <\/p>\n

733
\n00:48:54,080 –> 00:49:01,560
\nAnd it’s then that Miriam and
\nAaron chide him because of this <\/p>\n

734
\n00:49:01,560 –> 00:49:06,320
\nwoman whom he had married.
\nOh, there’s a lot more to to do <\/p>\n

735
\n00:49:06,320 –> 00:49:08,600
\nwith that.
\nAnd if we had more time, we, we,<\/p>\n

736
\n00:49:08,600 –> 00:49:14,400
\nwe could explore with our
\nimagination great things to do <\/p>\n

737
\n00:49:14,400 –> 00:49:18,400
\nwith God’s deliverance.
\nBut it’s time polite speakers <\/p>\n

738
\n00:49:18,400 –> 00:49:20,440
\nset down.
\nAnd if I want to be remembered, <\/p>\n

739
\n00:49:20,440 –> 00:49:23,960
\nit’s that I’m partly polite.
\nThank you for listening so <\/p>\n

740
\n00:49:24,640 –> 00:49:28,560
\npolitely and for participating.
\nAnd for the young people once <\/p>\n

741
\n00:49:28,560 –> 00:49:30,960
\nmore, since we started with
\nthem, may we conclude with them,<\/p>\n

742
\n00:49:30,960 –> 00:49:33,400
\nplease.
\nThis is just a taste of Bible <\/p>\n

743
\n00:49:33,400 –> 00:49:35,560
\nstudy.
\nIt shouldn’t be a thing that <\/p>\n

744
\n00:49:35,560 –> 00:49:37,720
\ngives us long faces.
\nIt shouldn’t be. <\/p>\n

745
\n00:49:37,880 –> 00:49:42,920
\nIt shouldn’t be a chore.
\nBible study is great fun and I <\/p>\n

\nhope you will continue to read
\nand study your Bibles and have <\/p>\n
