Class 2 from this series was used in GCT Episode 398.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:04,920 –> 00:00:09,760
\nthe Austin Leander, TX Ecclesia.
\nThe theme for Brother Dennis’s <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:09,760 –> 00:00:15,680
\nclass this week is Noah Saving
\nYour Family in a Dark World. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:17,280 –> 00:00:24,640
\nToday’s class is entitled Babel
\nand the United Nations. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:25,600 –> 00:00:29,120
\nWell, this class is more like an
\nintermission. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:30,160 –> 00:00:33,160
\nPerhaps it would be better
\nserved with popcorn and soda <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:33,160 –> 00:00:34,800
\npop.
\nBut the bottom line is we’re <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:34,800 –> 00:00:38,600
\ngoing to take a little break
\nfrom the story of Noah to kind <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:38,600 –> 00:00:41,760
\nof have a meanwhile back at the
\nranch moment. <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:42,960 –> 00:00:47,000
\nThe the last chapter of the
\nstory of Noah really kind of <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:47,000 –> 00:00:50,800
\nfinds its way into chapters 10
\nand 11 from a timeline <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:50,800 –> 00:00:55,200
\nstandpoint.
\nAnd because the Bible is written<\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:55,200 –> 00:00:59,480
\nin cereal, we tend to feel like
\nthis guy died and then this guy <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:59,480 –> 00:01:01,480
\ndied, then this guy died.
\nBut in reality, they’re all <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:01,480 –> 00:01:05,960
\nalive at the same time.
\nSo because after the flood, <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:05,960 –> 00:01:09,480
\nwe’ve got another 350 years of
\nNoah’s life, that’s what brings <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:09,480 –> 00:01:12,920
\nus into the story of Babel in
\nchapter 10, Chapter 11. <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:13,960 –> 00:01:17,480
\nAnd rather than finish on that,
\nfelt it might be better to break<\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:17,480 –> 00:01:18,760
\nup the action and do it in the
\nmiddle. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:18,760 –> 00:01:21,360
\nYou ultimately will get to
\ndecide whether that was a good <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:21,360 –> 00:01:24,320
\ndecision or not, but that was
\nthe intent behind it. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:25,040 –> 00:01:28,480
\nSo this is going to get us a
\nlook at what happened next. <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:29,320 –> 00:01:32,360
\nSo we mentioned the Genesis
\nrecord closes on Noah at the end<\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:32,360 –> 00:01:34,000
\nof Chapter 9.
\nWe’ll see that in the next <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:34,000 –> 00:01:36,440
\ncouple days.
\nAnd we know very little about <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:36,440 –> 00:01:40,080
\nthe family after the flood.
\nSo since the, the the Bible then<\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:40,080 –> 00:01:42,280
\nis going to give us a little
\ninsight as to what happens on <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:42,280 –> 00:01:44,000
\nthe planet after the flood,
\nwe’re going to kind of <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:44,000 –> 00:01:45,920
\nincorporate that story into this
\nstory. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:47,080 –> 00:01:49,000
\nReality is they happen
\nconcurrently. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:49,280 –> 00:01:52,680
\nNow, the Bible is not a history
\nbook or a science book, but a <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:52,680 –> 00:01:56,960
\nspiritual guide book.
\nAnd so you because of that, we <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:56,960 –> 00:02:01,520
\nsee many pieces of the Bible are
\nassembled in lesson order, not <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:01,520 –> 00:02:03,720
\nnecessarily historical order, if
\nyou will. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:04,000 –> 00:02:06,400
\nAnd probably the best way to
\nillustrate that is Genesis <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:06,400 –> 00:02:09,320
\nchapter 5.
\nAnd I know, Oh, you can read <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:09,320 –> 00:02:12,480
\nthat fairly well, actually.
\nAll right, good. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:12,480 –> 00:02:13,840
\nI didn’t think you could read
\nany of that. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:13,840 –> 00:02:17,680
\nYou can read some of it.
\nThose lines are lifespans. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:17,680 –> 00:02:20,560
\nThose are all the people
\nmentioned in Genesis chapter 5. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:21,200 –> 00:02:23,760
\nAnd the reason we put them up
\nthere together is so that if you<\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:23,760 –> 00:02:30,880
\nlook, you can see that there
\ncould have been an Addams family<\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:30,880 –> 00:02:36,440
\nget together and everyone
\nmentioned in Genesis 5 up to <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:36,440 –> 00:02:40,600
\nNoah could have been there.
\nThey were all alive at the same <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:40,600 –> 00:02:44,560
\ntime at some point, including
\nEnoch. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:44,960 –> 00:02:51,280
\nSo therefore everyone in Genesis
\n5 except Noah could have been <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:51,280 –> 00:02:55,800
\ngiven a first person account of
\ncreation. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:56,920 –> 00:02:58,960
\nThat’s amazing because we don’t
\nreally think about that. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:58,960 –> 00:03:02,160
\nCan you imagine?
\nLet’s have a meal and Methuselah<\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:02,160 –> 00:03:06,400
\nand Adam are having a chat about
\nthe first sin that could have <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:06,400 –> 00:03:08,120
\nhappened.
\nAnd I’m not saying they hung out<\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:08,120 –> 00:03:11,480
\nevery day and did this every
\nweekend because they were going <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:11,480 –> 00:03:15,840
\naway from the center, but they
\nwere all alive at the same time.<\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:15,840 –> 00:03:20,520
\nAnd Noah himself could have had
\na second person account of <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:20,520 –> 00:03:26,960
\ncreation.
\nAnybody besides Adam and our <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:26,960 –> 00:03:32,560
\nfriend Enoch could have shared
\nwhat happened in creation from a<\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:32,560 –> 00:03:35,720
\nsecond person account.
\nSo I think it helps us to see <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:35,720 –> 00:03:40,800
\nthat these things didn’t happen
\n1234, but they happened 1234 in <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:40,800 –> 00:03:44,720
\nconcert with each other.
\nNow a similar thing happens in <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:44,720 –> 00:03:49,440
\nthe next Bank of stories too.
\nThis is Genesis chapter 10 verse<\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:49,440 –> 00:03:50,880
\none.
\nThese are the generations of the<\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:50,880 –> 00:03:53,360
\nson of Noah, Shem, him and
\nJapheth. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:53,600 –> 00:03:55,880
\nUnto them were sons born after
\nthe flood. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:56,240 –> 00:03:59,600
\nNow if I was trying to put you
\ndown for a mid morning nap, we <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:59,600 –> 00:04:01,240
\ncould do a genealogy this
\nmorning. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:01,720 –> 00:04:03,840
\nSo don’t let your eyes roll back
\nyet. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:03,840 –> 00:04:06,280
\nWe’re only going to do part of
\nit to set the stage. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:07,920 –> 00:04:10,960
\nCouple simple comments.
\nThis is the story of the <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:11,080 –> 00:04:14,000
\nchildren after the flood, so
\nthere’s no record or whether <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:14,000 –> 00:04:16,959
\nthey lost children in the flood
\nas we mentioned I think <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:16,959 –> 00:04:19,640
\nyesterday with Hamsheim and
\nJapheth or it gets more tragic. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:19,920 –> 00:04:23,440
\nBut this definitely starts to
\naccount for their children post <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:23,440 –> 00:04:26,760
\nflood.
\nNow Genesis Chapter 9 tells us a<\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:26,760 –> 00:04:30,280
\nnot so flattering story about
\nthis immediate family, but it <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:30,280 –> 00:04:34,560
\ndoesn’t tell us when.
\nBut we do get some hints towards<\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:34,560 –> 00:04:36,520
\nthe timing.
\nIn fact, we’re told that he was <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:36,520 –> 00:04:41,840
\na husbandman and that he got
\ndrunk on his own wine tells us <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:41,840 –> 00:04:45,160
\nit had to be years later.
\nHow many we can debate. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:45,520 –> 00:04:49,720
\nBut you, you don’t wake up, say
\nah, we’re on dry land, let’s <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:49,720 –> 00:04:52,680
\nplant a vineyard, I’ll be drunk
\ntomorrow. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:53,360 –> 00:04:56,920
\nThat’s not how that works.
\nIt takes years to cultivate and <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:57,200 –> 00:05:00,320
\nin the in the law they were
\nsupposed to really wait till it <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:00,320 –> 00:05:02,960
\nwas about 7 years before it was
\nuseful in harvest. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:03,480 –> 00:05:06,600
\nSo it’s going to be years and
\nthen you don’t get grape one, <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:06,600 –> 00:05:08,200
\nsqueeze it and tomorrow it’s
\nwine. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:08,480 –> 00:05:11,880
\nIt takes time.
\nSo whatever happens in Genesis 9<\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:12,040 –> 00:05:16,800
\nwas years after the flood.
\nTherefore, chronologically, this<\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:16,800 –> 00:05:19,560
\nstory most likely overlaps with
\nwhat we’re going to see in <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:19,560 –> 00:05:22,880
\nGenesis Chapter 10.
\nSo the purpose of this break in <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:22,880 –> 00:05:26,200
\nthe timeline from Genesis
\nchapter 5 and 10, we were able <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:26,200 –> 00:05:29,960
\nto piece together a historical
\nrecord to keep track of how many<\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:29,960 –> 00:05:33,520
\ngenerations have passed and in
\nsome cases, the years that it <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:33,520 –> 00:05:37,040
\ntook.
\nBut the one significant story <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:37,280 –> 00:05:40,640
\nthat is embedded in this
\ngenealogy that gives us detail <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:40,720 –> 00:05:45,360
\nshould get our attention because
\nanytime something seemingly <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:45,360 –> 00:05:50,440
\ninsignificant and seemingly
\nunnecessary is added to a story <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:50,440 –> 00:05:52,560
\nin Scripture, that’s the clue to
\nthe Bible. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:52,560 –> 00:05:55,080
\nStudent is like, all right, why
\ndo we need to know that? <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:55,640 –> 00:06:00,760
\nThere’s got to be a reason.
\nSo let’s drop down to verse 6. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:01,000 –> 00:06:05,800
\nThe sons of hymn Kush, Misram
\nfoot Canaan, sons of Kush Siba <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:05,800 –> 00:06:10,120
\nHavilah Sapta, Rhema Saptica,
\nsons of Rhema Sheba D Dan Kush <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:10,120 –> 00:06:13,360
\nbegat Nimrod.
\nHe began to be a mighty one in <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:13,360 –> 00:06:15,640
\nthe earth.
\nHe was a mighty hunter before <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:15,640 –> 00:06:17,920
\nthe Lord.
\nWherefore it is said even as <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:17,920 –> 00:06:20,240
\nNimrod, the mighty hunter before
\nthe Lord. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:21,000 –> 00:06:26,240
\nSo this is perhaps 3 generations
\nfrom Noah, Ham, Kush, Nimrod. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:26,800 –> 00:06:29,720
\nNow it’s been suggested it was
\nin the line of Kush and not <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:29,720 –> 00:06:32,960
\nnecessarily his son.
\nThe First Chronicles genealogy <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:32,960 –> 00:06:36,920
\nFirst Chronicles 1 also notes
\nthat Kush begat Nimrod. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:36,920 –> 00:06:39,800
\nSo I tend to lean that way.
\nBut it’s not absolutely <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:39,800 –> 00:06:41,880
\nnecessary.
\nWe know it for sure or it would <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:41,880 –> 00:06:45,240
\nbe crystal clear.
\nHowever, it does give us some <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:45,240 –> 00:06:48,720
\ninsight to the timing.
\nAccording to Strong’s the son of<\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:48,720 –> 00:06:51,320
\nKush, this is Ham.
\nExcuse me? <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:51,320 –> 00:06:56,000
\nThe son of Kush, the grandson of
\nHam, the great grandson of Noah,<\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:56,680 –> 00:06:59,840
\nis a mighty hunter, established
\nan empire in the area of <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:59,840 –> 00:07:03,640
\nBabylon, Assyria.
\nSo that gives us a timeline to <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:03,640 –> 00:07:06,240
\nNimrod.
\nHis name in Hebrew means a <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:06,240 –> 00:07:08,640
\nrebel.
\nInteresting, given the story <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:08,640 –> 00:07:11,680
\nfrom here.
\nSo we have him as a mighty man <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:11,680 –> 00:07:16,160
\nin defense of the Lord.
\nHe became the standard, excuse <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:16,160 –> 00:07:19,200
\nme, not defense boy, can you do
\nwhat you did for Darius or <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:19,200 –> 00:07:23,960
\nrewind and fix that one Defiance
\nof the Lord in defiance of the <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:23,960 –> 00:07:28,600
\nLord and became the standard for
\ncute future king God rulers. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:28,600 –> 00:07:31,200
\nSo you might picture someone
\nlike Nebuchadnezzar in the story<\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:31,200 –> 00:07:33,680
\nof Daniel, and you’re staying
\nvery well within the line of <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:33,680 –> 00:07:37,560
\ncontext.
\nSo about this guy in the middle <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:37,560 –> 00:07:39,080
\nof genealogy.
\nOh, he’s a mighty hunter. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:39,080 –> 00:07:40,880
\nAnd it’s said a couple times
\nthat tells us it’s something <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:40,880 –> 00:07:42,240
\nimportant.
\nBut they don’t just go on to the<\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:42,240 –> 00:07:45,840
\nnext guy.
\nWe get these three more verses <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:46,280 –> 00:07:50,560
\nattached to the story of Nimrod.
\nThe beginning of his Kingdom was<\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:50,560 –> 00:07:55,240
\nBabel, and Eric and Acat and
\nKalna and the land of Shinar. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:55,400 –> 00:07:57,960
\nSo now we’re getting a little
\nmap put together for us. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:58,400 –> 00:08:03,160
\nOut of that land went forth
\nAsher and builded Nineveh, the <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:03,160 –> 00:08:06,040
\ncity of Riyaboth and Kayla, and
\nResin. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:06,040 –> 00:08:09,360
\nBetween Nineveh and Kayla.
\nThe same is a great city. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:09,520 –> 00:08:13,240
\nSo we’re now being able to plot
\nout some of the cities that were<\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:13,240 –> 00:08:17,440
\nbig and growing.
\nAnd by the time Moses is giving <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:17,440 –> 00:08:20,720
\nus this account, he’s able to
\ndescribe some of the things this<\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:20,720 –> 00:08:23,720
\ncity these cities had become.
\nAnd some of them were cities <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:23,720 –> 00:08:26,400
\nthey would have known.
\nAnd thanks to archaeology, <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:26,400 –> 00:08:28,160
\nthey’re cities you and I could
\nknow as well. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:28,920 –> 00:08:30,360
\nSo let’s pick this apart a
\nlittle bit. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:30,360 –> 00:08:36,679
\nThe word Babel, that word in
\nHebrew is used 262 times, so <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:36,679 –> 00:08:40,520
\nit’s not an uncommon word.
\nBut only two of them are <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:40,520 –> 00:08:47,000
\ntranslated Babel.
\nAll the others, 260 others are <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:47,000 –> 00:08:50,520
\ntranslated Babylon.
\nSo when you and I read it here <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:50,520 –> 00:08:53,160
\nand in Chapter 11, verse 9,
\nwhich we’re going to get to in a<\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:53,160 –> 00:08:56,920
\nfew minutes, so we read Babel,
\nwe should be reading Babylon <\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:57,160 –> 00:08:59,760
\nbecause that’s what the way this
\nword is translated everywhere <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:59,760 –> 00:09:02,960
\nelse in Scripture.
\nSo the beginning of his Kingdom <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:03,280 –> 00:09:06,720
\nwas Babylon, and now we’re
\ntaking on a significance that <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:06,720 –> 00:09:09,560
\ncarries its way all the way
\nthrough Scripture, not as an <\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:09,560 –> 00:09:14,120
\nindependent story about a tower
\nthey stopped building, but as a <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:14,120 –> 00:09:18,720
\nunited story about a religious
\nmovement moving away from God to<\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:18,720 –> 00:09:22,320
\nthe glorification of the flesh,
\nwhich may have started right <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:22,320 –> 00:09:25,160
\nafter the flood but continues to
\nthis day. <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:26,240 –> 00:09:29,000
\nBy using the name Babylon, we
\nwere able to connect that dot <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:29,000 –> 00:09:33,200
\nvery clearly in verse 10.
\nAll four of those cities are <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:33,200 –> 00:09:36,800
\nbetween the Tigris and the
\nEuphrates, modern Iraq. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:37,240 –> 00:09:41,920
\nHistorical Babylon, verses 11
\nand 12 gives us four more cities<\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:42,120 –> 00:09:44,280
\nwhich eventually become greater
\nNineveh. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:44,960 –> 00:09:48,280
\nKayla is the city where the
\nblack obelisk was found along <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:48,280 –> 00:09:49,960
\nwith winged lions and human
\nheads. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:50,280 –> 00:09:53,600
\nSo before the genealogy
\ncontinues, let’s look at a <\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:53,600 –> 00:09:58,160
\nlittle bit about Kayla.
\nSo Kayla, which of which really <\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:58,160 –> 00:10:02,000
\nbecomes incorporated into
\nNineveh over time, Nimrod was <\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:02,000 –> 00:10:07,400
\nthe the Nimrod or Kayla was the
\ncapital city of the ancient <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:07,400 –> 00:10:12,800
\nAssyrian Empire.
\nSo around 12:50 BC, Shalmanesar,<\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:12,800 –> 00:10:15,800
\nthe first king of Assyria,
\nmentions himself as a founder of<\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:15,800 –> 00:10:18,080
\nthe city.
\nGreat walls were built in the <\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:18,080 –> 00:10:22,160
\n884 BC range.
\nLater kings ruled in the same <\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:22,160 –> 00:10:26,720
\narea until the latter part of
\nthe 8th 8th century when the <\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:26,720 –> 00:10:30,040
\ncapital city was moved to
\nKorsabad and then later to <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:30,040 –> 00:10:32,640
\nNineveh.
\nThis city was eventually <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:32,640 –> 00:10:37,320
\nabandoned in 612 BC after a
\nserious destruction. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:38,520 –> 00:10:41,120
\nThe city itself is about a mile
\nand a quarter square, so it’s <\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:41,120 –> 00:10:44,000
\nnot huge.
\nBut in this city, they were able<\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:44,000 –> 00:10:48,160
\nto find temples, palaces, the
\ngreat ziggurat about 140 feet <\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:48,160 –> 00:10:51,760
\nhigh, and monuments and ruins in
\nthe ancient city of Nimrod or <\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:51,760 –> 00:10:54,280
\nKayla, many of which were
\nremoved and brought to the <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:54,280 –> 00:10:57,000
\nBritish Museum in the 1800s.
\nSo you can go see them if you’d <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:57,000 –> 00:10:59,160
\nlike to go visit your friends in
\nEngland. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:11:00,080 –> 00:11:03,920
\nOne relic records a feast in the
\npalace with a numbering a total <\/p>\n
186
\n00:11:03,920 –> 00:11:07,680
\nof 63,000 people.
\nSo it’s not just a little city, <\/p>\n
187
\n00:11:07,680 –> 00:11:09,160
\nit’s a big city in a mighty
\ncity. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:11:10,720 –> 00:11:13,000
\nNimrod and some of its kings are
\nmentioned in the Bible. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:11:13,000 –> 00:11:15,240
\nThe famous city is mentioned.
\nThe book of Genesis we just <\/p>\n
190
\n00:11:15,240 –> 00:11:19,400
\nmentioned was located about 20
\nmiles South of ancient Mosul. <\/p>\n
191
\n00:11:21,280 –> 00:11:24,160
\nSo let’s play with the obelisk.
\nThis is the black obelisk of <\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:24,160 –> 00:11:26,720
\nShalmanizer.
\nThe third might have seen <\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:26,720 –> 00:11:31,160
\nsomething like this.
\nIf if you’ve ever been in <\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:31,160 –> 00:11:36,200
\nSouthern California around the
\ntime of the County Fair, we have<\/p>\n
195
\n00:11:36,200 –> 00:11:38,960
\na presentation that’s been put
\ntogether by brothers and sisters<\/p>\n
196
\n00:11:38,960 –> 00:11:42,960
\nover many years that that part
\nof this presentation has a <\/p>\n
197
\n00:11:42,960 –> 00:11:46,760
\nreplica of that obelisk.
\nYou recognize it, don’t you, <\/p>\n
198
\n00:11:46,760 –> 00:11:48,840
\nDarius?
\nAnybody else recognize it? <\/p>\n
199
\n00:11:50,000 –> 00:11:52,200
\nAll right, I got so the three of
\nus can talk about it like we <\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:52,200 –> 00:11:56,080
\nknow something they don’t.
\nAll right, Now, what makes this <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:56,120 –> 00:11:59,160
\nobelisk interesting is not just
\nthat we have one. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:59,160 –> 00:12:01,400
\nOK, that’s cute.
\nBut why do we have one? <\/p>\n
203
\n00:12:02,200 –> 00:12:07,440
\nWell, there’s a reason this was
\ndiscovered in 1846 while being <\/p>\n
204
\n00:12:07,440 –> 00:12:09,680
\nexcavated.
\nSo it’s it’s something that’s <\/p>\n
205
\n00:12:09,680 –> 00:12:13,480
\nrecent, fairly recent 180 years
\nfrom today roughly. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:12:13,920 –> 00:12:18,280
\nAnd it goes back to describe
\nsome things on it about the <\/p>\n
207
\n00:12:18,280 –> 00:12:21,080
\nmilitary campaigns of the
\nAssyrians. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:12:21,720 –> 00:12:23,280
\nLet’s see, let’s read a couple
\nthings. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:12:23,280 –> 00:12:25,000
\nI don’t want to read this whole
\nthing. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:12:25,240 –> 00:12:28,400
\nMilitary campaigns of 31 years
\nand the tribute they exacted <\/p>\n
211
\n00:12:28,400 –> 00:12:31,400
\nfrom their neighbors, including
\ncamels, monkeys, an elephant, a <\/p>\n
212
\n00:12:31,400 –> 00:12:34,040
\nrhino.
\nBecause the Assyrian kings often<\/p>\n
213
\n00:12:34,040 –> 00:12:38,400
\ncollected exotic animals and
\nplants as an expression of their<\/p>\n
214
\n00:12:38,400 –> 00:12:42,800
\npower.
\nWell, there are five scenes of <\/p>\n
215
\n00:12:42,800 –> 00:12:45,360
\ntribute.
\nAnd if you, I don’t know if you <\/p>\n
216
\n00:12:45,360 –> 00:12:49,400
\ncan see them segment by 5, you
\ncan’t trust me, Trust us. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:49,880 –> 00:12:53,360
\nFive scenes attribute and they
\nlit they, the story goes around <\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:53,400 –> 00:12:57,600
\nall four sides.
\nSo on these four panels around <\/p>\n
219
\n00:12:57,600 –> 00:13:01,400
\nthe face of the obelisk, we have
\na line in cuneiform explaining <\/p>\n
220
\n00:13:01,440 –> 00:13:04,760
\nwhat the pictures are showing.
\nAnd you can probably see the one<\/p>\n
221
\n00:13:04,760 –> 00:13:08,160
\nin the top left corner.
\nYou can. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:13:08,160 –> 00:13:10,200
\nThat’s the one we’re going to
\nfocus on right now. <\/p>\n
223
\n00:13:10,680 –> 00:13:15,960
\nThat is Jihu, son of Armory of
\nancient northern Israel. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:13:16,240 –> 00:13:19,520
\nAnd so let’s see the the second
\nregister from the top includes <\/p>\n
225
\n00:13:19,520 –> 00:13:22,400
\nthe earliest surviving picture
\nof an Israelite. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:13:22,800 –> 00:13:26,760
\nThat’s Jehu, the king who’s
\nbeing brought down to bow down <\/p>\n
227
\n00:13:26,760 –> 00:13:29,600
\nand send his tribute.
\nAhab, the son of Armory, king of<\/p>\n
228
\n00:13:29,600 –> 00:13:32,120
\nIsrael, lost his life in a
\nbattle a few years previously, <\/p>\n
229
\n00:13:32,120 –> 00:13:34,200
\nfighting against the king of
\nDamascus at Ramoth. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:13:34,200 –> 00:13:36,880
\nGilead.
\nFirst Kings, chapter 22. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:13:37,600 –> 00:13:40,480
\nThe second son, Joram, was
\nsucceeded by Jihu, A usurper, <\/p>\n
232
\n00:13:40,480 –> 00:13:43,120
\nwho broke the alliances with
\nPhoenicia and Judah and <\/p>\n
233
\n00:13:43,120 –> 00:13:46,760
\nsubmitted to Assyria.
\nThe caption above, written in <\/p>\n
234
\n00:13:46,840 –> 00:13:50,160
\nAssyrian cuneiform, can be
\ntranslated and this is what it <\/p>\n
235
\n00:13:50,160 –> 00:13:54,480
\nsays on the obelisk.
\nThe tribute of Jihu, Jihu son of<\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:54,480 –> 00:13:57,040
\nArmory.
\nI received from him silver, <\/p>\n
237
\n00:13:57,040 –> 00:14:00,680
\ngold, a golden bowl, a golden
\nvase with a painted bottom, <\/p>\n
238
\n00:14:00,880 –> 00:14:04,560
\ngolden tumblers, golden buckets,
\ntin, a staff for a king, and <\/p>\n
239
\n00:14:04,560 –> 00:14:08,080
\nSpears.
\nSo you have the first picture of<\/p>\n
240
\n00:14:08,080 –> 00:14:11,080
\nan Israelite outside of the
\nScripture found in history, <\/p>\n
241
\n00:14:11,400 –> 00:14:15,120
\nwhich gives us some significance
\nbecause knowing the foundation <\/p>\n
242
\n00:14:15,120 –> 00:14:19,720
\nof God’s Word and His purpose to
\ndraw to people for His name. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:14:19,840 –> 00:14:23,720
\nFocusing first on the Jew and
\nthen to the Gentile, we hone in <\/p>\n
244
\n00:14:23,720 –> 00:14:27,320
\nonto the next story after the
\nTower of Babel to Abraham to get<\/p>\n
245
\n00:14:27,320 –> 00:14:30,240
\nthere.
\nWe have very strong Hebrew <\/p>\n
246
\n00:14:30,240 –> 00:14:36,280
\nroots.
\nNow here we have a connection <\/p>\n
247
\n00:14:36,280 –> 00:14:39,360
\ngoing back to the roots of
\nBabylon. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:14:40,240 –> 00:14:45,080
\nWhat is going to stand up
\nagainst the Hebrew Messiah when <\/p>\n
249
\n00:14:45,080 –> 00:14:49,640
\nit comes time for his return?
\nSo that’s what makes it relevant<\/p>\n
250
\n00:14:49,640 –> 00:14:55,280
\nto us today.
\nVerse 9 of Chapter 11, the <\/p>\n
251
\n00:14:55,280 –> 00:14:58,360
\nsecond time the word Babylon is
\ntranslated Babel. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:14:58,960 –> 00:15:02,160
\nTherefore the name of it is
\ncalled Babel, because the Lord <\/p>\n
253
\n00:15:02,160 –> 00:15:04,480
\ndid their confound the language
\nof all the earth, and from <\/p>\n
254
\n00:15:04,480 –> 00:15:07,920
\nthence did the Lord scatter them
\nabroad upon all the earth. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:15:08,560 –> 00:15:11,400
\nSo who began this Kingdom in
\nbattle by building Babel? <\/p>\n
256
\n00:15:11,400 –> 00:15:15,400
\nNimrod 3 generations from Noah.
\nNow, the word Babel, we know <\/p>\n
257
\n00:15:15,400 –> 00:15:18,240
\nthat means confusion.
\nAnd by the end of this class we <\/p>\n
258
\n00:15:18,240 –> 00:15:22,160
\nwill see that the confusion is
\nnot only of language and of <\/p>\n
259
\n00:15:22,160 –> 00:15:26,760
\nname, because we wanted to build
\na city and a name, but also of <\/p>\n
260
\n00:15:26,760 –> 00:15:29,360
\nreligious and political
\nconfusion as well. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:15:29,360 –> 00:15:31,400
\nSo we’re going to hold that
\nthought. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:15:31,400 –> 00:15:34,960
\nWe’re going to see embedded not
\njust language and the name of <\/p>\n
263
\n00:15:34,960 –> 00:15:40,360
\nthe flesh, but the foundation by
\nwhich political and religious <\/p>\n
264
\n00:15:40,560 –> 00:15:45,920
\nconfusion have been permeated
\nthrough the world from that time<\/p>\n
265
\n00:15:46,080 –> 00:15:49,240
\nright after the flood, even to
\nour very day. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:15:50,200 –> 00:15:53,600
\nNow the end of Genesis 11 gives
\nus a genealogy of Shem with <\/p>\n
267
\n00:15:53,600 –> 00:15:55,880
\nyears to connect the dots from
\nNoah to Abraham. <\/p>\n
268
\n00:15:56,080 –> 00:15:58,600
\nSo we’re able to put some
\ndirectional information in that.<\/p>\n
269
\n00:15:58,600 –> 00:16:02,240
\nLet’s look at verse 10.
\nThese are the generations of <\/p>\n
270
\n00:16:02,240 –> 00:16:04,200
\nShem.
\nShem was 100 years old and begat<\/p>\n
271
\n00:16:04,320 –> 00:16:06,400
\nour faxed 2 years after the
\nflood. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:16:07,360 –> 00:16:09,480
\nOK, so two years after the
\nflood. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:16:09,960 –> 00:16:14,360
\nThen we have at verse 12 our fax
\nand live 5 and 30 years and <\/p>\n
274
\n00:16:14,360 –> 00:16:18,640
\nbegat Sayla, and at verse 14 say
\nlive 30 years and we got Eber. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:16:19,360 –> 00:16:23,160
\nSo if Sayla was 3 generations
\nfrom Noah in Shem’s life <\/p>\n
276
\n00:16:23,640 –> 00:16:28,360
\ntimeline, Shen’s family line, he
\nwas old. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:16:28,600 –> 00:16:31,760
\nHe was old enough and
\nestablished enough to have <\/p>\n
278
\n00:16:31,760 –> 00:16:38,920
\nchildren at age 30.
\nSo now we have 2 + 35 + 30, <\/p>\n
279
\n00:16:40,120 –> 00:16:43,000
\ngiving us a total of 67 years
\nafter the flood. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:16:43,600 –> 00:16:48,680
\nSo it’s not a long, it’s not way
\ndown the road now this is next <\/p>\n
281
\n00:16:48,680 –> 00:16:50,280
\ndoor.
\nWe have a problem. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:16:50,280 –> 00:16:54,640
\nHere we are 67 years later, 3
\ngenerations after the flood and <\/p>\n
283
\n00:16:54,640 –> 00:17:01,400
\nthis God king changer of the
\nworld, political language, <\/p>\n
284
\n00:17:01,400 –> 00:17:06,440
\nreligious confusion is already
\nspringing route that will extend<\/p>\n
285
\n00:17:06,440 –> 00:17:09,599
\nnow for over 4000 years from the
\ntime of his building. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:17:10,520 –> 00:17:13,640
\nThat’s astounding.
\nI said that a word a lot. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:17:13,640 –> 00:17:15,760
\nMy wife has told me I’ve I’ve
\nbeen astounded a lot. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:17:15,760 –> 00:17:17,440
\nHopefully you’ve been somewhat
\nastounded with me. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:17:17,440 –> 00:17:18,560
\nI’m going to try to use a new
\nword. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:17:18,560 –> 00:17:20,359
\nThat’s amazing.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:22,000 –> 00:17:24,800
\nVerse 14.
\nSailor lived 30 years begat <\/p>\n
292
\n00:17:24,880 –> 00:17:26,520
\nEber.
\nSailor lived after begat Eber <\/p>\n
293
\n00:17:26,520 –> 00:17:28,600
\n403 years and begat sons and
\ndaughters. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:17:28,600 –> 00:17:34,680
\nSo Sailor lived 433 years total.
\nNoah lived after the flood, 350 <\/p>\n
295
\n00:17:34,680 –> 00:17:38,680
\nyears, which means Noah would
\nhave been alive most of the time<\/p>\n
296
\n00:17:38,680 –> 00:17:42,440
\nthis guy was alive, probably
\nmost of the time Nimrod was <\/p>\n
297
\n00:17:42,440 –> 00:17:44,960
\nalive.
\nSo Noah got to see God wipe the <\/p>\n
298
\n00:17:44,960 –> 00:17:49,400
\nslate clean for destruction,
\nviolence, and confusion, and he <\/p>\n
299
\n00:17:49,400 –> 00:17:51,960
\nlived long enough to see it go
\nright back to the mess it was <\/p>\n
300
\n00:17:51,960 –> 00:17:55,320
\nwhen God cleaned it out.
\nSo when we look at the world <\/p>\n
301
\n00:17:55,320 –> 00:17:58,480
\naround us today and we’re just,
\nwe find ourselves somewhat <\/p>\n
302
\n00:17:58,520 –> 00:18:01,360
\ndissatisfied with the things we
\nsee in the world and maybe how <\/p>\n
303
\n00:18:01,360 –> 00:18:05,120
\nwe see them in the ecclesia.
\nRecognize this is not new <\/p>\n
304
\n00:18:05,120 –> 00:18:07,280
\nterritory for God and his
\npeople. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:18:07,400 –> 00:18:11,440
\nWe are living the days of Noah
\nnow. <\/p>\n
306
\n00:18:11,680 –> 00:18:13,760
\nSomewhere in Genesis 9, we put
\nthis story. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:18:13,760 –> 00:18:16,480
\nSo that’s why it meant, that’s
\nwhy we’ve bothered to take this <\/p>\n
308
\n00:18:16,480 –> 00:18:18,840
\ntime out.
\nWe can look at building the <\/p>\n
309
\n00:18:18,840 –> 00:18:21,520
\ntowers and event going on in the
\nworld around the family at <\/p>\n
310
\n00:18:21,520 –> 00:18:24,440
\napproximately the same time.
\nAnd you can imagine the thinking<\/p>\n
311
\n00:18:24,440 –> 00:18:27,920
\nof the family, all the years
\nthey spent building a boat to <\/p>\n
312
\n00:18:27,920 –> 00:18:30,920
\nsave their family.
\nAnd what was that, 120? <\/p>\n
313
\n00:18:30,920 –> 00:18:33,360
\nAnd here we are in about half
\nthe time there’s a tower going <\/p>\n
314
\n00:18:33,360 –> 00:18:37,840
\nup.
\nWow, the flesh is amazing, isn’t<\/p>\n
315
\n00:18:37,840 –> 00:18:39,520
\nit?
\nWell, the rest of this class is <\/p>\n
316
\n00:18:39,520 –> 00:18:41,720
\ngoing to be dedicated to.
\nOK, so why do we care? <\/p>\n
317
\n00:18:43,000 –> 00:18:45,720
\nAll right, Genesis Chapter 11,
\nverse 1 and 2, the whole earth <\/p>\n
318
\n00:18:45,720 –> 00:18:48,160
\nwas of one language.
\nOne speech came to pass when <\/p>\n
319
\n00:18:48,160 –> 00:18:50,240
\nthey journeyed from the east.
\nThey found a plane in the land <\/p>\n
320
\n00:18:50,240 –> 00:18:52,800
\nof Shinar and they dwelt there.
\nSo we have unity, as we will <\/p>\n
321
\n00:18:52,800 –> 00:18:56,400
\nsee, and we’re seeing a united
\nrepresentation of the flesh <\/p>\n
322
\n00:18:56,800 –> 00:18:59,760
\nagainst God.
\nThe RSV has it this way. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:18:59,760 –> 00:19:02,720
\nNow, the whole earth had one
\nlanguage and few words. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:19:02,720 –> 00:19:05,800
\nI highlight that they didn’t say
\nmuch but at least they <\/p>\n
325
\n00:19:05,800 –> 00:19:10,240
\nunderstood each other.
\nNow what we have here in Shinar <\/p>\n
326
\n00:19:10,240 –> 00:19:14,320
\nis we have a place from Ararat
\ngoing back towards Eden which <\/p>\n
327
\n00:19:14,320 –> 00:19:18,720
\nwas the center of the worship in
\nthe pre flood era. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:19:18,720 –> 00:19:22,760
\nWe get that back from Genesis
\nchapter 4 Shinar. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:19:22,920 –> 00:19:24,720
\nIt appears in the next in the
\ntext. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:19:24,760 –> 00:19:28,400
\nA few interesting places, one
\nthat’s probably in your heads <\/p>\n
331
\n00:19:28,400 –> 00:19:33,800
\nalready, is Daniel chapter 1.
\nThe Lord gave Jehoiakim, the <\/p>\n
332
\n00:19:33,800 –> 00:19:36,200
\nking of Judah, into his hand and
\nsome of the vessels of the House<\/p>\n
333
\n00:19:36,200 –> 00:19:40,600
\nof his God, and brought them to
\nthe land of Shinar, the House of<\/p>\n
334
\n00:19:41,040 –> 00:19:45,320
\nhis God, and placed them vessels
\nin the treasury of his God. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:19:45,680 –> 00:19:48,360
\nAnd of course we recognize this
\nas the beginning of the <\/p>\n
336
\n00:19:48,360 –> 00:19:54,560
\ncaptivity of Babylon, but that
\ncaptivity’s roots starts back in<\/p>\n
337
\n00:19:54,560 –> 00:19:55,920
\nthe building of the Tower of
\nBabel. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:19:56,760 –> 00:20:00,360
\nThis is a wave of religious and
\npolitical confusion. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:20:01,000 –> 00:20:05,440
\nThat started in Daniel and
\ncontinues through the apocalypse<\/p>\n
340
\n00:20:05,440 –> 00:20:07,040
\nmuch later.
\nSo we’re going to see the <\/p>\n
341
\n00:20:07,040 –> 00:20:12,320
\ndevelopment of this becoming not
\njust a language and a people <\/p>\n
342
\n00:20:12,320 –> 00:20:16,720
\nwith a common name, but they’ve
\ngot a system, an education <\/p>\n
343
\n00:20:16,720 –> 00:20:21,080
\nsystem where they take out the
\nbrightest and best from the <\/p>\n
344
\n00:20:21,080 –> 00:20:23,960
\npeople.
\nThey take a cap in captivity. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:20:24,360 –> 00:20:27,640
\nThey leave the ones they’re not
\ninterested in behind the the <\/p>\n
346
\n00:20:27,680 –> 00:20:29,440
\nfigs that are allowed to rot in
\nthe land. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:20:29,840 –> 00:20:32,520
\nAnd they take all these younger
\nmen and try to convert them into<\/p>\n
348
\n00:20:32,520 –> 00:20:38,200
\ntheir own thinking, both
\neducationally and, and from a <\/p>\n
349
\n00:20:38,200 –> 00:20:41,320
\nreligious standpoint.
\nSounds anything like the <\/p>\n
350
\n00:20:42,600 –> 00:20:44,400
\neducation system in our land
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:20:44,760 –> 00:20:46,520
\nOh, nothing like it.
\nIt’s all coincidental. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:20:47,240 –> 00:20:49,520
\nNow, Daniel would be a topic for
\nanother day. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:20:49,720 –> 00:20:52,120
\nBut these stories are connected
\nin a number of ways. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:20:52,120 –> 00:20:54,960
\nI’d like to look on one of them
\nand then we’ll move along. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:20:56,320 –> 00:20:58,800
\nWe’ve looked at this verse a
\ncouple times this week. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:20:58,840 –> 00:21:01,320
\nThree men, Noah, Daniel and Job
\nwere in it and they would <\/p>\n
357
\n00:21:01,320 –> 00:21:04,040
\ndeliver but their own souls by
\ntheir righteousness saying saith<\/p>\n
358
\n00:21:04,040 –> 00:21:07,080
\nthe Lord God.
\nWe know it’s repeated verse 20, <\/p>\n
359
\n00:21:07,280 –> 00:21:09,000
\nreligious Hebrew exclamation
\npoint. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:21:09,280 –> 00:21:11,360
\nWe focused a little on Job in
\nthe exhortation. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:21:11,360 –> 00:21:12,920
\nWe’ve touched on Noah during our
\nstudies. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:21:12,920 –> 00:21:14,840
\nI want to just look at Daniel
\nfor a moment. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:21:15,440 –> 00:21:19,320
\nNow, Ezekiel would have been
\ntaken captive seven years after <\/p>\n
364
\n00:21:19,320 –> 00:21:23,040
\nDaniel was.
\nSo there are over 50 miles away.<\/p>\n
365
\n00:21:23,240 –> 00:21:26,360
\nThere’s no telephone or cell,
\ncell phone coverage. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:21:26,560 –> 00:21:29,880
\nCan’t check out what’s on CNN
\nnews, Send him an e-mail. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:21:29,880 –> 00:21:31,920
\nHow’s it going, buddy?
\nThis, these things didn’t <\/p>\n
368
\n00:21:31,920 –> 00:21:35,240
\nhappen.
\nHe’s 50 miles away and seven <\/p>\n
369
\n00:21:35,240 –> 00:21:38,600
\nyears behind before they’re
\nactually in the same proximity <\/p>\n
370
\n00:21:38,600 –> 00:21:41,400
\nagain.
\nSo when Ezekiel writes this, <\/p>\n
371
\n00:21:41,400 –> 00:21:45,960
\nwhat a profound impact Daniel
\nwould have made on him. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:21:47,200 –> 00:21:50,560
\nDaniel would have only been
\nabout 30 when Ezekiel wrote <\/p>\n
373
\n00:21:50,560 –> 00:21:52,640
\nthat.
\nSo we’re not talking about the <\/p>\n
374
\n00:21:52,640 –> 00:21:55,000
\nold man Daniel with such a great
\nresume. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:21:55,600 –> 00:22:00,520
\nWe’re talking about a young man,
\na work in progress in a foreign <\/p>\n
376
\n00:22:00,520 –> 00:22:04,040
\nland, serving a Pagan king,
\nrisking his life every day for <\/p>\n
377
\n00:22:04,040 –> 00:22:07,440
\nloving his God.
\nThat’s amazing. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:22:08,240 –> 00:22:11,120
\nCompare that to us, when we look
\naround and we see other people <\/p>\n
379
\n00:22:11,120 –> 00:22:14,760
\nin the meeting, oftentimes the
\none we are looking to for <\/p>\n
380
\n00:22:14,760 –> 00:22:17,400
\nstrength and encouragement is
\nnot the one that’s younger than <\/p>\n
381
\n00:22:17,400 –> 00:22:19,440
\nus.
\nThink about that. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:22:19,440 –> 00:22:23,320
\nThis is a. 30 year old brother
\nwith no family to gauge him by, <\/p>\n
383
\n00:22:24,240 –> 00:22:26,600
\nbut only acts of faith and
\nservice to the meeting. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:22:27,920 –> 00:22:30,840
\nAnd he’s being looked on.
\nAnd listed in Rare Air by <\/p>\n
385
\n00:22:30,840 –> 00:22:34,000
\nInspiration.
\nAs an example for the. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:22:34,000 –> 00:22:38,680
\nWhole world at age 30.
\nThis leads to constant prayer <\/p>\n
387
\n00:22:38,680 –> 00:22:40,960
\nand labor.
\nAll three of them had to do this<\/p>\n
388
\n00:22:40,960 –> 00:22:43,080
\nin their ecclesia.
\nBoth were. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:22:43,640 –> 00:22:47,240
\nBoth of these, Noah and Job,
\nincluding Daniel now were <\/p>\n
390
\n00:22:47,240 –> 00:22:49,800
\nexamples to their ecclesial
\nfamilies of self sacrifice and <\/p>\n
391
\n00:22:49,800 –> 00:22:52,520
\ndedication and they looked
\nridiculous doing so. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:22:52,520 –> 00:22:56,000
\nAs we mentioned with Noah and
\nhis boat in the desert, Job <\/p>\n
393
\n00:22:56,000 –> 00:22:59,280
\ndefending himself amongst his
\nbrethren and both of them lost <\/p>\n
394
\n00:22:59,280 –> 00:23:02,520
\nfamilies in a catastrophic way.
\nBy the judgement of God both <\/p>\n
395
\n00:23:02,520 –> 00:23:05,120
\nwill be in the Kingdom.
\nThen we look at Daniel, who was <\/p>\n
396
\n00:23:05,120 –> 00:23:09,160
\ntaken by God from his home, put
\ninto another Kingdom, and made <\/p>\n
397
\n00:23:09,160 –> 00:23:12,600
\nso we couldn’t have a family of
\nhis own, so he adopted gods. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:23:13,440 –> 00:23:16,520
\nWhat a wonderful tribute of a
\nyoung man in the truth. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:23:17,400 –> 00:23:21,480
\nWell, we have another hidden
\nreference to Shinar, so I’m <\/p>\n
400
\n00:23:21,480 –> 00:23:23,240
\ngoing to pretend to get back on
\ntopic now. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:23:23,560 –> 00:23:27,840
\nA hidden reference to Shinar.
\nThis one’s found in Joshua 7, <\/p>\n
402
\n00:23:28,840 –> 00:23:32,960
\nJoshua 7, verse 21.
\nWhen I saw. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:23:32,960 –> 00:23:37,960
\nAmong the spoils, A goodly
\nBabylonish garment. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:23:38,160 –> 00:23:41,600
\nThat’s the word translated
\nshinar that we’ve seen back in <\/p>\n
405
\n00:23:41,600 –> 00:23:44,000
\nGenesis 11 and in Daniel chapter
\n1. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:23:45,640 –> 00:23:48,600
\nIn fact, the.
\nRSV has it here, a garment from <\/p>\n
407
\n00:23:48,600 –> 00:23:52,040
\nShinar in their text, 200
\nshekels of silver, wedge of <\/p>\n
408
\n00:23:52,040 –> 00:23:53,520
\ngold, blah blah blah.
\nThey have a lot of stuff. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:23:54,120 –> 00:23:58,760
\nThe stoning of the family of
\nAiken was the result of this <\/p>\n
410
\n00:23:58,760 –> 00:24:01,320
\nconfusion.
\nSo this. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:24:01,480 –> 00:24:05,280
\nConfusion that draws away the
\npeople of God to the world <\/p>\n
412
\n00:24:05,520 –> 00:24:10,800
\npolitically and religiously has
\nroots now not just in captivity <\/p>\n
413
\n00:24:11,160 –> 00:24:14,080
\nbut in the establishment and
\nconquest of the land. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:24:15,680 –> 00:24:18,840
\nGenesis 11.
\nVerse 3, they said one to <\/p>\n
415
\n00:24:18,840 –> 00:24:23,720
\nanother go to let us make brick
\nand burn them thoroughly that <\/p>\n
416
\n00:24:23,720 –> 00:24:26,800
\nthey had brick for stone and
\nslime had they for mortar. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:24:26,800 –> 00:24:29,360
\nSo we have cooperation and
\ncommunication. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:24:29,440 –> 00:24:31,520
\nVerse one, not a lot of words,
\nbut they work together. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:24:31,520 –> 00:24:35,480
\nOK, if only they could take that
\nlevel of cooperation for <\/p>\n
420
\n00:24:35,480 –> 00:24:38,520
\nbuilding the things of God.
\nThis story is so much different,<\/p>\n
421
\n00:24:39,000 –> 00:24:41,400
\nbut human beings, what we are,
\nwe are naturally inclined to <\/p>\n
422
\n00:24:41,400 –> 00:24:42,880
\nserve our self and our own
\ninterest. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:24:43,120 –> 00:24:45,840
\nAnd the more of us we get
\ntogether that go, hey, this is a<\/p>\n
424
\n00:24:45,840 –> 00:24:47,840
\ngood idea, let’s do it for our
\nname. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:24:48,280 –> 00:24:51,320
\nAnd you can see why that camp is
\nso much more appealing than the <\/p>\n
426
\n00:24:51,320 –> 00:24:54,840
\nlet’s walk away from what makes
\nsense in our eyes and follow <\/p>\n
427
\n00:24:54,840 –> 00:24:58,080
\nafter the path of our father.
\nLet’s look a little closer at <\/p>\n
428
\n00:24:58,080 –> 00:25:00,600
\nthis.
\nThe slime or bitumen you might <\/p>\n
429
\n00:25:00,600 –> 00:25:04,680
\nsay, is used in making asphalt.
\nThose characteristics are <\/p>\n
430
\n00:25:04,680 –> 00:25:07,520
\nuseful.
\nIt softens when it gets heated. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:25:07,800 –> 00:25:12,880
\nIt becomes moldable, kind of
\nlike warm tar, sticky like glue <\/p>\n
432
\n00:25:12,880 –> 00:25:15,680
\nor a warm tar, and it’s water
\nresistant. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:25:16,560 –> 00:25:19,600
\nDoes that not adequately
\ndescribe the condition of <\/p>\n
434
\n00:25:19,600 –> 00:25:23,400
\nhumanity then and now?
\nIt can be molded in the image of<\/p>\n
435
\n00:25:23,400 –> 00:25:26,280
\nitself.
\nIt sticks to us. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:25:26,280 –> 00:25:30,360
\nWhen we get contaminated by the
\nthoughts of the world and it’s <\/p>\n
437
\n00:25:30,360 –> 00:25:33,640
\nkind of water resistant, it’s
\nit’s not able to let the word of<\/p>\n
438
\n00:25:33,640 –> 00:25:37,480
\nGod penetrate in a.
\nLittle scary when you think. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:25:37,480 –> 00:25:41,240
\nAbout it, isn’t it?
\nSoftens under. <\/p>\n
440
\n00:25:41,240 –> 00:25:45,680
\nSocial pressure then molds into
\na uniform worldly model, <\/p>\n
441
\n00:25:46,400 –> 00:25:49,640
\nadhering to each other in sin by
\nresisting the water of life. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:25:51,720 –> 00:25:52,840
\nWow.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:25:52,880 –> 00:25:56,960
\nIsaiah 65 people that provoke me
\nto anger continually to my face <\/p>\n
444
\n00:25:56,960 –> 00:26:01,080
\nthat sank, sacrifice it in
\ngardens and burns incense upon <\/p>\n
445
\n00:26:01,080 –> 00:26:03,640
\naltars of brick.
\nNow we know that’s not what <\/p>\n
446
\n00:26:03,640 –> 00:26:05,440
\nyou’re supposed to do.
\nI’m not focusing on that. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:26:05,600 –> 00:26:10,480
\nI’m just making a reference to
\nthe history of brick in Israel. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:26:10,960 –> 00:26:14,360
\nThis might seem a little off
\ntopic, but verse one of Isaiah <\/p>\n
449
\n00:26:14,360 –> 00:26:19,880
\n65 says a nation that was not
\ncalled by my name, and in verse <\/p>\n
450
\n00:26:19,880 –> 00:26:23,560
\n10 it says the valley of Acor.
\nSo we are not off topic here. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:26:24,400 –> 00:26:27,680
\nThis National History of brick
\nthat moved away from the things <\/p>\n
452
\n00:26:27,680 –> 00:26:30,880
\nof the Father to the point where
\nthey were even burning incense <\/p>\n
453
\n00:26:30,880 –> 00:26:36,560
\non altars to God, that would
\nhave been an abomination to the <\/p>\n
454
\n00:26:36,560 –> 00:26:40,040
\nFather by his own design.
\nExodus. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:26:40,040 –> 00:26:41,760
\nFive gives us their National
\nHistory. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:26:41,760 –> 00:26:45,360
\nWe know this story.
\nLet us go and sacrifice to the <\/p>\n
457
\n00:26:45,360 –> 00:26:48,040
\nLord.
\nTherefore, no straw will be <\/p>\n
458
\n00:26:48,040 –> 00:26:51,000
\ngiven to you.
\nWe need. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:26:51,480 –> 00:26:54,040
\nTo take time to remember our
\nfather. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:26:55,480 –> 00:27:00,240
\nOh, you’re idol.
\nNo straw for you, Tally. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:27:00,280 –> 00:27:01,520
\nYeah, you can still make the
\nbricks. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:27:01,840 –> 00:27:06,080
\nSo the concept of making bricks
\ncomes very, very much so to the <\/p>\n
463
\n00:27:06,080 –> 00:27:13,680
\nroots of Israel and also, not by
\ncoincidence, roots of Pagan <\/p>\n
464
\n00:27:13,680 –> 00:27:16,200
\ninfluence on their thinking.
\nWe. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:27:16,200 –> 00:27:18,640
\nHave the repeat.
\nReferences back to a time where <\/p>\n
466
\n00:27:18,640 –> 00:27:20,400
\nthe people of God went their own
\nway. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:27:20,480 –> 00:27:24,520
\nFalse religion was the result.
\nWe can trace back every single <\/p>\n
468
\n00:27:24,520 –> 00:27:29,160
\nChristian myth found in doctrine
\ntoday to Babylonian mythology <\/p>\n
469
\n00:27:29,160 –> 00:27:31,920
\nand Egyptian mythology, with
\nnice little segways through <\/p>\n
470
\n00:27:31,920 –> 00:27:33,280
\nGreece and Rome if you want
\nthem. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:27:33,920 –> 00:27:39,160
\nBut they all have their roots in
\nthe myths of Egypt and Babylon. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:27:39,960 –> 00:27:42,440
\nWe’ll get more of that soon.
\nMuch of it has been intertwined.<\/p>\n
473
\n00:27:42,680 –> 00:27:48,160
\nThe exact opposite of first
\nPeter two and four, to whom <\/p>\n
474
\n00:27:48,160 –> 00:27:52,320
\ncoming as unto a living stone,
\ndisallowed indeed of men, but <\/p>\n
475
\n00:27:52,320 –> 00:27:56,400
\nchosen of God and precious, you
\nalso, as lively stones are built<\/p>\n
476
\n00:27:56,400 –> 00:28:00,320
\nup a spiritual house, a holy
\npriesthood, to OfferUp spiritual<\/p>\n
477
\n00:28:00,320 –> 00:28:06,840
\nsacrifices acceptable to God.
\nBy Jesus Christ, cooperation <\/p>\n
478
\n00:28:06,840 –> 00:28:08,480
\nand.
\nCommunication is not the issue. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:28:08,480 –> 00:28:10,000
\nThe question is what are we
\nbuilding? <\/p>\n
480
\n00:28:10,560 –> 00:28:14,760
\nAre we building it to our name?
\nAre we building it as the House <\/p>\n
481
\n00:28:14,760 –> 00:28:19,160
\nof God, as lively stones?
\nHebrews 11 great example. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:28:19,160 –> 00:28:21,800
\nWe’ve looked at a number of
\ntimes, but we’ll just use the <\/p>\n
483
\n00:28:21,800 –> 00:28:24,920
\ncomment about Abraham that he
\nlooked for a city which hath <\/p>\n
484
\n00:28:24,920 –> 00:28:28,200
\nfoundations, whose builder and
\nmaker is God. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:28:30,600 –> 00:28:35,160
\nInfluence on the Babylonian
\nconfusion of his day repelled <\/p>\n
486
\n00:28:35,160 –> 00:28:37,960
\nhim and brought him closer to
\nthe Father. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:28:38,680 –> 00:28:41,280
\nNot coincidentally, the next
\nstory in the Genesis account. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:28:42,360 –> 00:28:44,400
\nAll right, let us build a city
\nand a tower. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:28:44,520 –> 00:28:46,640
\nI love how they say, go to.
\nIt’s like that’s how we talk to <\/p>\n
490
\n00:28:46,640 –> 00:28:47,920
\neach other.
\nGo to. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:28:48,240 –> 00:28:50,760
\nLet us go to class.
\nNo, whatever. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:28:51,120 –> 00:28:54,320
\nLet’s build a city and a tower
\nwhose top may reach the heaven, <\/p>\n
493
\n00:28:54,320 –> 00:28:57,880
\nand make us a name, lest we be
\nscattered abroad from the face <\/p>\n
494
\n00:28:57,880 –> 00:29:00,600
\nof the whole earth.
\nNow there’s always. <\/p>\n
495
\n00:29:00,600 –> 00:29:02,280
\nA hint that’s supposed to get
\nyour attention. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:29:02,280 –> 00:29:04,440
\nSo if the Word of God has
\npricked your heart at all, you <\/p>\n
497
\n00:29:04,440 –> 00:29:06,200
\ncan go.
\nThat doesn’t sound right. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:29:06,320 –> 00:29:10,640
\nAnd here it is.
\nLet us build a tower and make us<\/p>\n
499
\n00:29:10,640 –> 00:29:12,640
\na name.
\nThat word name? <\/p>\n
500
\n00:29:13,360 –> 00:29:16,400
\nShem.
\nShould have got their attention.<\/p>\n
501
\n00:29:16,400 –> 00:29:20,400
\nThe people of the name noting a
\nreligious purpose, they want one<\/p>\n
502
\n00:29:20,400 –> 00:29:22,960
\nthat reaches the air, and
\nthere’s all kinds of theories as<\/p>\n
503
\n00:29:22,960 –> 00:29:24,400
\nto why.
\nHey, the higher up we go, the <\/p>\n
504
\n00:29:24,400 –> 00:29:26,280
\nless likely we are to be dead in
\nthe flood. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:29:27,040 –> 00:29:30,200
\nWell, if it went up 70 or 22
\nfeet higher than the tallest <\/p>\n
506
\n00:29:30,200 –> 00:29:32,120
\nmountain they could see, I don’t
\nthink this building was ever <\/p>\n
507
\n00:29:32,120 –> 00:29:34,320
\ngoing to get there.
\nBut nonetheless, that’s one of <\/p>\n
508
\n00:29:34,320 –> 00:29:38,880
\nthe theories that we could stop
\ngoing apart, which they were <\/p>\n
509
\n00:29:38,880 –> 00:29:43,280
\ntold to go out and replenish.
\nWell, as long as we build a <\/p>\n
510
\n00:29:43,280 –> 00:29:45,840
\nfamily and then our kids go out
\nand they build and our we can <\/p>\n
511
\n00:29:45,840 –> 00:29:48,720
\nstart replenishing the earth.
\nBut if we say, hey, stop this <\/p>\n
512
\n00:29:48,720 –> 00:29:51,600
\nreplenishment stuff, let’s do it
\nour way and build a city in a <\/p>\n
513
\n00:29:51,600 –> 00:29:55,680
\ntower, they’re defying the laws
\nof God to their own intent and <\/p>\n
514
\n00:29:55,680 –> 00:29:58,360
\npurpose.
\nWe can compare that to prior to <\/p>\n
515
\n00:29:58,360 –> 00:30:00,880
\nthe flood, Genesis chapter 4,
\nverse 17. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:30:01,200 –> 00:30:03,080
\nIn the line of Cain, we have
\nCain to his wife. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:30:03,080 –> 00:30:05,520
\nShe conceived bear Enoch.
\nSo this is not the good Enoch. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:30:05,520 –> 00:30:09,840
\nThis is the bad Enoch.
\nHe builded a city and called the<\/p>\n
519
\n00:30:09,840 –> 00:30:14,400
\nname of the city after the name
\nof his son Enoch, a city with a <\/p>\n
520
\n00:30:14,400 –> 00:30:16,000
\nname.
\nThere’s that word shem again. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:30:16,080 –> 00:30:19,760
\nSo we’re going right back to the
\nroot of the sons of God that saw<\/p>\n
522
\n00:30:19,760 –> 00:30:22,640
\nthe daughters of men in the line
\nof Cain is rearing its ugly <\/p>\n
523
\n00:30:22,640 –> 00:30:24,080
\nhead.
\nAnd here’s the problem. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:30:24,240 –> 00:30:27,800
\nIt wasn’t the line of Cain.
\nNow it’s the line of Noah. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:30:29,480 –> 00:30:31,560
\nLet’s compare that to Revelation
\n17. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:30:32,160 –> 00:30:36,440
\nThe woman which thou sawest is
\nthat great city which reigneth <\/p>\n
527
\n00:30:36,440 –> 00:30:38,640
\nover the kings of the earth.
\nAnd after these things, I saw <\/p>\n
528
\n00:30:38,640 –> 00:30:41,600
\nanother Angel come down from
\nheaven, having great power in <\/p>\n
529
\n00:30:41,600 –> 00:30:43,960
\nthe earth, was lighted by his
\nglory. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:30:44,480 –> 00:30:48,040
\nHe cried mighty with a strong
\nvoice, saying Babylon the Great <\/p>\n
531
\n00:30:48,040 –> 00:30:51,120
\nis fallen, is fallen, has become
\nthe habitation of devils and the<\/p>\n
532
\n00:30:51,120 –> 00:30:55,000
\nhold of every foul spirit, a
\ncage of every unclean and <\/p>\n
533
\n00:30:55,000 –> 00:30:57,160
\nhateful bird.
\nSo we’re able to connect the <\/p>\n
534
\n00:30:57,160 –> 00:31:02,680
\ndots from Genesis chapter 4 now
\nto the last couple chapters of <\/p>\n
535
\n00:31:02,680 –> 00:31:08,440
\nRevelation.
\nTying Babylon in the Babylon of <\/p>\n
536
\n00:31:08,440 –> 00:31:10,840
\nRevelation to the Catholic
\nChurch is a very important <\/p>\n
537
\n00:31:10,840 –> 00:31:13,760
\nconnection, and it’s probably
\none of the most important in <\/p>\n
538
\n00:31:13,760 –> 00:31:15,400
\nthis topic.
\nSo we’re going to spend a little<\/p>\n
539
\n00:31:15,400 –> 00:31:21,000
\ntime on that now.
\nShould we focus on fish on <\/p>\n
540
\n00:31:21,000 –> 00:31:24,040
\nFridays?
\nSay I want you to look. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:31:24,040 –> 00:31:28,080
\nSo to my left, well, that used
\nto be a Pope, but the pictures <\/p>\n
542
\n00:31:28,080 –> 00:31:31,680
\ncool, so we keep it and focus on
\nthe right. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:31:32,680 –> 00:31:35,560
\nThat’s a rendition of a priest
\nof Dagon. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:31:36,080 –> 00:31:38,600
\nNow we have the fish hat on the
\nDagon priest. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:31:38,880 –> 00:31:42,320
\nNotice the open mouth?
\nNotice the other. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:31:42,320 –> 00:31:46,880
\nGuy, the new Dagon priest.
\nOpen fish on. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:31:46,880 –> 00:31:49,480
\nMouth, if you look at from the
\ntop, there’s a skullcaps. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:31:49,480 –> 00:31:50,840
\nYou actually have the eye of
\nHorus. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:31:50,840 –> 00:31:52,640
\nIf you want to play with Egypt
\nwhile we’re playing with <\/p>\n
550
\n00:31:52,640 –> 00:31:57,280
\nBabylon, you can do that.
\nEgypt was not the only Pagan <\/p>\n
551
\n00:31:57,280 –> 00:32:00,320
\nmyth generator.
\nSo the fish God, the priest of <\/p>\n
552
\n00:32:00,320 –> 00:32:05,320
\nDagon gives us an example that
\nwas incorporated into the things<\/p>\n
553
\n00:32:05,320 –> 00:32:09,000
\nof Rome.
\nNow Nimrod and his wife <\/p>\n
554
\n00:32:09,000 –> 00:32:11,960
\nSemiramis established a high
\norder of priests for the God <\/p>\n
555
\n00:32:11,960 –> 00:32:14,840
\nJanus.
\nAnd you go, well, God Janus, <\/p>\n
556
\n00:32:14,840 –> 00:32:17,720
\nwell, that’s the the the God of
\ndoors and hinges. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:32:19,480 –> 00:32:21,440
\nWell, that seems kind of fun.
\nLet’s have one of those. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:32:22,880 –> 00:32:24,760
\nSomeone prayed to.
\nJanus, that’s a squeaky one. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:32:25,200 –> 00:32:28,160
\nWell, it’s kind of interesting
\nwe hear that we go, this doesn’t<\/p>\n
560
\n00:32:28,160 –> 00:32:30,920
\nmake a whole lot of sense.
\nOh, but when we start thinking <\/p>\n
561
\n00:32:30,920 –> 00:32:34,880
\nin terms of the context of the
\none door that they were supposed<\/p>\n
562
\n00:32:34,880 –> 00:32:39,080
\nto have on the Ark, oh, it
\nbrings a lot more religious <\/p>\n
563
\n00:32:39,080 –> 00:32:41,120
\nconnotation.
\nWell, what does that have to do <\/p>\n
564
\n00:32:41,120 –> 00:32:46,040
\nwith the Catholic Church?
\nWell, these priests wore red, <\/p>\n
565
\n00:32:46,600 –> 00:32:50,200
\nultimately developed the Roman
\nCatholic Cardinals. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:32:50,560 –> 00:32:54,880
\nThe word cardo in Latin means
\nhinge. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:32:58,680 –> 00:33:02,200
\nWell, let’s see here.
\nThe lower order of priests that <\/p>\n
568
\n00:33:02,200 –> 00:33:04,680
\ntended the sacrificial fires
\nwore black roads. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:33:04,680 –> 00:33:07,240
\nThey later emerged in Judah as
\nthe Chairmarims. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:33:07,240 –> 00:33:10,920
\nThat’s Zephaniah one and four.
\nThey are duplicated in the black<\/p>\n
571
\n00:33:10,920 –> 00:33:12,520
\nrobes of the priest of the
\nCatholic Church. <\/p>\n
572
\n00:33:12,520 –> 00:33:13,880
\nToday.
\nIf you want to study of <\/p>\n
573
\n00:33:13,880 –> 00:33:17,000
\nZephaniah, there’s an awful lot
\nmore revealing in this regard. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:33:17,200 –> 00:33:20,200
\nAnd it’s a great transition if
\nyou’re connecting the things of <\/p>\n
575
\n00:33:20,200 –> 00:33:22,440
\nearly Genesis to the things of
\nRevelation. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:33:22,440 –> 00:33:25,400
\nBut that would be another study
\naltogether, the part we want to <\/p>\n
577
\n00:33:25,400 –> 00:33:29,440
\nfocus on today.
\nZephaniah warns of impending <\/p>\n
578
\n00:33:29,440 –> 00:33:32,640
\njudgment on Judah, but his
\nvision sweeps on to the return <\/p>\n
579
\n00:33:32,640 –> 00:33:36,240
\nof Christ to judge the world in
\nthe great day of Yahweh. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:33:36,600 –> 00:33:40,640
\nHe speaks of the impending
\njudgment on, get it, the <\/p>\n
581
\n00:33:40,640 –> 00:33:47,160
\nnation’s with emphasis on Kush
\nor Babylon and Assyria, as far <\/p>\n
582
\n00:33:47,160 –> 00:33:50,560
\nas we’ve seen in the language of
\nthe Apocalypse. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:33:51,560 –> 00:33:53,920
\nAnd he concludes his.
\nMessage was the turning of a <\/p>\n
584
\n00:33:53,920 –> 00:33:58,640
\npeoples why to a pure language
\nand the worship of Yahweh. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:33:58,800 –> 00:34:03,320
\nZephaniah is God’s answer to
\nGenesis Chapter 11. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:34:04,640 –> 00:34:07,200
\nThe head of these.
\nAt the head of these and is <\/p>\n
587
\n00:34:07,200 –> 00:34:10,239
\nIsrael redeemed from their
\ndispersion, brought into harmony<\/p>\n
588
\n00:34:10,239 –> 00:34:14,199
\nwith their God, therefore
\nputting down ultimately nimrods <\/p>\n
589
\n00:34:14,199 –> 00:34:17,679
\nrebellion and utterly reversing
\nthe system of political and <\/p>\n
590
\n00:34:17,679 –> 00:34:19,239
\nreligious error that he
\nintroduced. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:34:19,520 –> 00:34:21,040
\nYou want one more before we move
\non? <\/p>\n
592
\n00:34:21,040 –> 00:34:23,400
\nIt doesn’t matter if you do or
\nnot, it’s already on my slide. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:34:24,920 –> 00:34:27,840
\nHere is an artist.
\nRendition of the beast as <\/p>\n
594
\n00:34:27,840 –> 00:34:32,080
\ndescribed in Revelation 17, the
\nwoman representing the apostate <\/p>\n
595
\n00:34:32,080 –> 00:34:35,719
\nchurch, or the people riding on
\nthe Roman beast called Babylon. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:34:36,000 –> 00:34:40,000
\nFrom a religious and political
\nstandpoint, these things are all<\/p>\n
597
\n00:34:40,000 –> 00:34:41,960
\nstarted in the early parts of
\nGenesis. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:34:42,239 –> 00:34:46,239
\nSo while we’re on the political
\ntopic, what does this class have<\/p>\n
599
\n00:34:46,239 –> 00:34:48,880
\nto do with the European Union
\nand the United Nations? <\/p>\n
600
\n00:34:49,840 –> 00:34:54,120
\nWell, looky there.
\nNotice the little box in the <\/p>\n
601
\n00:34:55,320 –> 00:35:01,880
\nbottom right corner?
\nMany tongues, one voice. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:35:01,880 –> 00:35:03,120
\nWhat do you think they got that
\nfrom? <\/p>\n
603
\n00:35:04,800 –> 00:35:09,880
\nThat’s a European.
\nUnion poster Notice on the tower<\/p>\n
604
\n00:35:09,880 –> 00:35:13,800
\nbeing built there’s a crane.
\nWhy is that? <\/p>\n
605
\n00:35:14,200 –> 00:35:16,080
\nBecause they’re picking up where
\nthey left off. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:35:17,800 –> 00:35:19,080
\nThe work was.
\nIncomplete. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:35:19,440 –> 00:35:21,000
\nAnd now we’re going to keep
\nbuilding. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:35:21,160 –> 00:35:24,080
\nI’m sure it wasn’t intentionally
\nputting us back into Babylon, <\/p>\n
609
\n00:35:24,640 –> 00:35:26,400
\nbut that’s exactly where our
\nmind should go. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:35:27,480 –> 00:35:30,800
\nThis is from Taken.
\nFrom the EU website, the 12 <\/p>\n
611
\n00:35:30,800 –> 00:35:35,120
\nstars are a circle symbolizing
\nthe ideals of unity, solidarity <\/p>\n
612
\n00:35:35,120 –> 00:35:36,880
\nand harmony amongst the peoples
\nof Europe. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:35:37,920 –> 00:35:40,400
\nFact.
\nThe EU motto is united in <\/p>\n
614
\n00:35:40,400 –> 00:35:43,440
\ndiversity.
\nIt signifies how Europeans have <\/p>\n
615
\n00:35:43,440 –> 00:35:45,360
\ncome together.
\nI’m just quoting this now in the<\/p>\n
616
\n00:35:45,360 –> 00:35:48,720
\nform of the EU.
\nTo work for peace and prosperity<\/p>\n
617
\n00:35:48,720 –> 00:35:51,600
\nwhile at the same time being
\nenriched by the continents, many<\/p>\n
618
\n00:35:51,600 –> 00:35:53,440
\ncultures, traditions and
\nlanguages. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:35:54,840 –> 00:35:59,680
\nA people united to build a city
\nand a name. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:36:02,880 –> 00:36:05,400
\nThis is Strasbourg.
\nFrance, the official seat of the<\/p>\n
621
\n00:36:05,400 –> 00:36:08,280
\nEuropean Parliament.
\nAny ideas on where that design <\/p>\n
622
\n00:36:08,280 –> 00:36:11,400
\ncame from?
\nWhat a coincidence. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:36:11,680 –> 00:36:13,960
\nJust in case you thought the
\nposter was only joking. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:36:14,640 –> 00:36:17,720
\nNow, we could add coins and
\nstamps, but I think the point is<\/p>\n
625
\n00:36:17,720 –> 00:36:19,800
\nmade.
\nThe connection to the Europe of <\/p>\n
626
\n00:36:19,800 –> 00:36:24,000
\ntoday and back to the foundation
\nof the Babylonian Empire is on <\/p>\n
627
\n00:36:24,000 –> 00:36:28,520
\npurpose and it’s evidence.
\nAnd it may not be intentional by<\/p>\n
628
\n00:36:28,520 –> 00:36:32,080
\nthose making these posters, but
\nour God knows exactly what <\/p>\n
629
\n00:36:32,080 –> 00:36:34,840
\nthey’re doing.
\nIt has left you and I clues that<\/p>\n
630
\n00:36:34,840 –> 00:36:37,400
\nHe is ultimately in charge.
\nAnd all these things are there <\/p>\n
631
\n00:36:37,600 –> 00:36:41,000
\nso that when we see them, see
\nthem, we can get excited that <\/p>\n
632
\n00:36:41,000 –> 00:36:43,240
\nthere is a plan and it
\nculminates in glory. <\/p>\n
633
\n00:36:43,880 –> 00:36:47,680
\nToday may not be as much glory
\nas we wish, but tomorrow will be<\/p>\n
634
\n00:36:47,680 –> 00:36:49,840
\nglorious if we can keep our eye
\non the prize. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:36:50,320 –> 00:36:53,400
\nHere’s one more.
\nJust to keep. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:36:53,760 –> 00:36:56,800
\nEveryone else in the loop, this
\nis the United Nations University<\/p>\n
637
\n00:36:56,800 –> 00:37:00,960
\nof Tokyo in Japan.
\nThe world. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:37:01,400 –> 00:37:05,000
\nIs uniting against the power of
\nGod, and we can trace that back <\/p>\n
639
\n00:37:05,000 –> 00:37:07,400
\nto Babel.
\nWhat we see in today’s news is <\/p>\n
640
\n00:37:07,400 –> 00:37:10,240
\nmerely A precursor, precursor to
\nthe return of our Lord. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:37:10,920 –> 00:37:13,920
\nSo let’s go back to Genesis to
\nfinish the scriptural portion. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:37:15,400 –> 00:37:18,240
\nVerse 5 of Genesis 11, the Lord
\ncame down to see the city and <\/p>\n
643
\n00:37:18,240 –> 00:37:19,920
\nthe tower and the children with
\nthe men and build. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:37:19,920 –> 00:37:22,360
\nSo this is the angels we see
\nfrom verse 7, the divine <\/p>\n
645
\n00:37:22,360 –> 00:37:25,560
\ninspection similar to what we
\nsaw in Genesis chapter 6. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:37:25,840 –> 00:37:28,480
\nThey are the tool used to
\nmanifest God here. <\/p>\n
647
\n00:37:29,600 –> 00:37:31,960
\nAnd the Lord said, Behold.
\nThe people is 1, they have one <\/p>\n
648
\n00:37:31,960 –> 00:37:34,880
\nlanguage and this they will do,
\nand now nothing will be <\/p>\n
649
\n00:37:34,880 –> 00:37:37,080
\nrestrained into them which they
\nhave imagined to do. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:37:37,480 –> 00:37:40,760
\nUnity for evil.
\nStanding up against God. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:37:41,120 –> 00:37:45,280
\nChapter 821 reference the
\nimagination of the evil heart <\/p>\n
652
\n00:37:46,040 –> 00:37:49,720
\nputs us back in line the
\nconditions of humanity did not <\/p>\n
653
\n00:37:49,720 –> 00:37:53,160
\nchange after the flood it’s.
\nProbably a good time to. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:37:53,160 –> 00:37:55,840
\nQuote Zephaniah Zephaniah
\nchapter 3, verse 9. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:37:56,480 –> 00:38:00,200
\nFor then will I turn the people
\na pure language, that they may <\/p>\n
656
\n00:38:00,200 –> 00:38:04,240
\ncall upon the name of Yahweh,
\nand serve Him with one consent. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:38:04,600 –> 00:38:06,640
\nThe reversal of Babylonian
\nconfusion. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:38:07,000 –> 00:38:11,120
\nInstead of united of as the
\nflesh against the Father, it <\/p>\n
659
\n00:38:11,120 –> 00:38:14,480
\nculminates in the glory of the
\nFather, uniting one language, <\/p>\n
660
\n00:38:14,480 –> 00:38:18,680
\none name to serve Him in unity.
\nNice tie to 1st. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:38:18,680 –> 00:38:22,240
\nCorinthians one.
\nNow I beseech you, brethren, by <\/p>\n
662
\n00:38:22,240 –> 00:38:25,800
\nthe name of our Lord Jesus
\nChrist, that you all speak the <\/p>\n
663
\n00:38:25,800 –> 00:38:28,040
\nsame thing.
\nThere be no division, division <\/p>\n
664
\n00:38:28,040 –> 00:38:31,240
\namongst you, that you be
\nperfectly joined together in the<\/p>\n
665
\n00:38:31,240 –> 00:38:33,480
\nsame mind and in the same
\njudgment. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:38:34,800 –> 00:38:36,920
\nWe can see this message.
\nThroughout the New Testament, <\/p>\n
667
\n00:38:36,920 –> 00:38:41,240
\nthe concept of unity for the
\nglory of God being promoted and <\/p>\n
668
\n00:38:41,240 –> 00:38:44,840
\nexhorted upon.
\nIt’s on us to make sure our <\/p>\n
669
\n00:38:44,840 –> 00:38:48,000
\nhearts and minds are focused on
\nthe things of God and looking <\/p>\n
670
\n00:38:48,000 –> 00:38:51,160
\ntoward the glory of the Father,
\nthat we might dwell with the <\/p>\n
671
\n00:38:51,160 –> 00:38:55,040
\nFather and the Son forever as we
\nwork together walking towards <\/p>\n
672
\n00:38:55,040 –> 00:38:57,960
\nthe Kingdom.
\nBecause as we put that as our <\/p>\n
673
\n00:38:57,960 –> 00:39:00,640
\nperspective, it makes any other
\nchallenges that might come <\/p>\n
674
\n00:39:00,800 –> 00:39:02,880
\nsecondary.
\nSure, we’ve got to work through <\/p>\n
675
\n00:39:02,880 –> 00:39:04,680
\ndifferences, and some
\ndifferences are bigger than <\/p>\n
676
\n00:39:04,680 –> 00:39:07,120
\nothers.
\nI’m not discounting that, but if<\/p>\n
677
\n00:39:07,120 –> 00:39:11,440
\nour perspective is not on the
\nnow, but on the future glory we <\/p>\n
678
\n00:39:11,440 –> 00:39:14,680
\nwant to be a part of, it makes
\nit easier to look past the <\/p>\n
679
\n00:39:14,680 –> 00:39:17,800
\ntrials of today and look forward
\nto the glory of tomorrow. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:39:18,000 –> 00:39:20,200
\nThat’s why it’s such a common
\ntheme in Scripture. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:39:20,400 –> 00:39:23,400
\nThat’s why it’s so important
\nthat we don’t become fractured <\/p>\n
682
\n00:39:23,960 –> 00:39:26,560
\nand go our separate ways, trying
\nto come back together as they <\/p>\n
683
\n00:39:26,560 –> 00:39:31,640
\ndid in Babel for their own sake,
\nbut rather stay focused on the <\/p>\n
684
\n00:39:31,640 –> 00:39:34,160
\nthings of God.
\nStay focused on the name of God <\/p>\n
685
\n00:39:34,360 –> 00:39:37,800
\nso that we might be found
\nwithout division, perfectly <\/p>\n
686
\n00:39:37,800 –> 00:39:40,520
\njoined together as the body is
\ndesigned. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:39:42,800 –> 00:39:45,760
\nGenesis. 11:00 and 7:00 the
\nangels let us go down, confound <\/p>\n
688
\n00:39:45,760 –> 00:39:47,400
\nthe language.
\nThey may not understand one <\/p>\n
689
\n00:39:47,400 –> 00:39:50,440
\nanother’s speech.
\nSo this is interesting what we <\/p>\n
690
\n00:39:50,440 –> 00:39:53,280
\nsometimes this is one of those
\npractical things that actually <\/p>\n
691
\n00:39:53,280 –> 00:39:55,240
\nmakes a little bit of sense if
\nwe thought stop and think about <\/p>\n
692
\n00:39:55,240 –> 00:39:57,800
\nit.
\nBut how well do you think you <\/p>\n
693
\n00:39:57,800 –> 00:39:59,200
\nand I would do in a foreign
\nland? <\/p>\n
694
\n00:39:59,200 –> 00:40:01,960
\nNow, if you if you speak a lot
\nof languages, fine, cool. <\/p>\n
695
\n00:40:01,960 –> 00:40:05,160
\nI’m proud of you.
\nPick one you don’t speak, go <\/p>\n
696
\n00:40:05,160 –> 00:40:08,040
\nthere for a minute.
\nYou and I moved to, I don’t <\/p>\n
697
\n00:40:08,040 –> 00:40:10,080
\nknow, pick a place for Dennis to
\nbe French. <\/p>\n
698
\n00:40:10,280 –> 00:40:14,360
\nI’ll be I’ll be in France.
\nNow, the odds of me getting <\/p>\n
699
\n00:40:14,360 –> 00:40:17,800
\nalong well in anything beyond
\nmajor cities are pretty low <\/p>\n
700
\n00:40:17,800 –> 00:40:21,160
\nbecause anything that’s not on a
\nmenu, I’m in trouble. <\/p>\n
701
\n00:40:22,000 –> 00:40:23,960
\nAnd my best chance on the menu
\nis point. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:40:26,920 –> 00:40:28,560
\nAnd no matter how.
\nLong I’m there, I’ll never be <\/p>\n
703
\n00:40:28,560 –> 00:40:30,200
\nFrench, but that’s a different
\nstory. <\/p>\n
704
\n00:40:30,720 –> 00:40:35,240
\nNow here’s the point.
\nIf I really did get planted in <\/p>\n
705
\n00:40:35,240 –> 00:40:38,680
\nthe middle of France, what’s
\nlikely the first thing I’m going<\/p>\n
706
\n00:40:38,680 –> 00:40:42,720
\nto do?
\nFind somebody else. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:40:42,720 –> 00:40:45,080
\nThat speaks English so I can
\nhave a conversation. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:40:45,760 –> 00:40:48,960
\nIt might be good to learn French
\ntoo, but it’s going to be pretty<\/p>\n
709
\n00:40:48,960 –> 00:40:52,120
\nelementary for a long time.
\nMy best bet is to be able to <\/p>\n
710
\n00:40:52,120 –> 00:40:53,640
\nwork together somebody who can
\nunderstand me. <\/p>\n
711
\n00:40:53,960 –> 00:40:56,320
\nWhich is why it’s so interesting
\nthat our God chose to. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:40:56,320 –> 00:40:59,080
\nLet’s just change the language,
\nfix it up, because now they’re <\/p>\n
713
\n00:40:59,080 –> 00:41:01,080
\ngoing to have to find I can talk
\nto this guy. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:41:01,080 –> 00:41:04,240
\nWell, let’s go this way.
\nAnd now you force them to do <\/p>\n
715
\n00:41:04,240 –> 00:41:05,720
\nwhat God told him to do in the
\n1st place. <\/p>\n
716
\n00:41:05,960 –> 00:41:07,680
\nIt’s interesting how God always
\ngets his way. <\/p>\n
717
\n00:41:08,520 –> 00:41:10,960
\nSee, when you design A planet,
\nyou get to make the rules. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:41:10,960 –> 00:41:12,120
\nThey didn’t want to follow the
\nrules. <\/p>\n
719
\n00:41:12,120 –> 00:41:13,240
\nOK, we’ll shake it up a little
\nbit. <\/p>\n
720
\n00:41:13,240 –> 00:41:15,680
\nNow follow them anyways, and
\nthat’s eventually what happens. <\/p>\n
721
\n00:41:15,880 –> 00:41:19,400
\nSo we put this in perspective.
\nThe angels did something very <\/p>\n
722
\n00:41:19,400 –> 00:41:20,760
\nsimple.
\nThey made him do what God told <\/p>\n
723
\n00:41:20,760 –> 00:41:23,480
\nhim to do in the 1st place.
\nBecause God has a plan, and His <\/p>\n
724
\n00:41:23,480 –> 00:41:26,040
\nplan is going to happen.
\nWhether or not they or you or I <\/p>\n
725
\n00:41:26,040 –> 00:41:29,440
\nor anybody sees fit to follow
\nit, it’s going to work. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:41:30,520 –> 00:41:33,760
\nWell, that’s how.
\nProphecy works because our God <\/p>\n
727
\n00:41:33,760 –> 00:41:36,320
\ncannot give us prophecy if He
\ndoesn’t know how it’s going to <\/p>\n
728
\n00:41:36,320 –> 00:41:39,320
\nend in the 1st place.
\nBut since He knows, look, I know<\/p>\n
729
\n00:41:39,320 –> 00:41:41,560
\nwhere this is going to end.
\nThere’s going to be things along<\/p>\n
730
\n00:41:41,560 –> 00:41:43,720
\nthe way that happened, but
\nhere’s how it’s going to end. <\/p>\n
731
\n00:41:44,240 –> 00:41:46,600
\nSo therefore he can have the
\nangels help. <\/p>\n
732
\n00:41:46,600 –> 00:41:49,400
\nCourse correct as we go.
\nGenesis 11 and 8. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:41:49,400 –> 00:41:51,720
\nThe Lord scattered them abroad
\nfrom then to the face of the <\/p>\n
734
\n00:41:51,720 –> 00:41:53,280
\nearth that they left off to
\nbuild the city. <\/p>\n
735
\n00:41:53,440 –> 00:41:56,920
\nThey left it incomplete.
\nBut the Kingdom? <\/p>\n
736
\n00:41:56,920 –> 00:42:02,880
\nOf men has been growing since,
\nand Babylon is built and becomes<\/p>\n
737
\n00:42:02,880 –> 00:42:05,800
\na head of gold.
\nAnd we picture Daniel’s image <\/p>\n
738
\n00:42:05,800 –> 00:42:09,680
\nstanding up, held together by
\nfeet of partly iron, partly <\/p>\n
739
\n00:42:09,680 –> 00:42:16,920
\nclay, and destroyed not by a
\nbrick, by a stone made without <\/p>\n
740
\n00:42:16,920 –> 00:42:19,840
\nhands.
\nSee, the plan that was being <\/p>\n
741
\n00:42:19,840 –> 00:42:23,280
\nconfused by the population was
\nnever lost sight of by God. <\/p>\n
742
\n00:42:23,960 –> 00:42:26,760
\nAnd He knew exactly where they
\nwere going and exactly how He <\/p>\n
743
\n00:42:26,760 –> 00:42:33,320
\nwas going to get there.
\nTherefore they called the name <\/p>\n
744
\n00:42:33,320 –> 00:42:35,760
\nBabel, because the Lord did
\nconfound the language of the <\/p>\n
745
\n00:42:35,760 –> 00:42:36,760
\nearth.
\nAnd from thence the Lord <\/p>\n
746
\n00:42:36,760 –> 00:42:38,840
\nscattered them abroad, all the
\nface of the earth. <\/p>\n
747
\n00:42:39,040 –> 00:42:43,360
\nThe confusion that was created,
\nwhich by the way, is the <\/p>\n
748
\n00:42:43,360 –> 00:42:46,880
\nconfusion that’s always created
\nwhen we set aside the things of <\/p>\n
749
\n00:42:46,880 –> 00:42:48,480
\nGod and start doing what man
\nthinks. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:42:48,680 –> 00:42:53,720
\nThe confusion in the world today
\nis largely result of a planet <\/p>\n
751
\n00:42:53,720 –> 00:42:56,040
\nthat’s decided the things of God
\nare outdated. <\/p>\n
752
\n00:42:57,680 –> 00:43:00,280
\nAnd so they’ve come.
\nUp with things that are more <\/p>\n
753
\n00:43:00,280 –> 00:43:03,720
\nmodern and sensible and it’s all
\nvery confusing. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:43:03,880 –> 00:43:06,880
\nWe’ve got in this country there
\nare kids that at 12 years old, <\/p>\n
755
\n00:43:06,880 –> 00:43:09,280
\ncan I decide whether they want
\nto be identified as a boy or a <\/p>\n
756
\n00:43:09,280 –> 00:43:11,840
\ngirl?
\nTell me that’s not. <\/p>\n
757
\n00:43:11,840 –> 00:43:15,000
\nConfusion.
\nIs not 12. <\/p>\n
758
\n00:43:15,000 –> 00:43:17,720
\nAbout the time when your life is
\nas confusing it’s ever going to <\/p>\n
759
\n00:43:17,720 –> 00:43:21,440
\nbe hormonally.
\nOh great, we wouldn’t trust you <\/p>\n
760
\n00:43:21,440 –> 00:43:22,960
\nto drive.
\nWe certainly don’t want you to <\/p>\n
761
\n00:43:22,960 –> 00:43:24,760
\ndrink.
\nWon’t even let you babysit <\/p>\n
762
\n00:43:24,760 –> 00:43:27,440
\nanother child on your own.
\nWe’re really not sure you can <\/p>\n
763
\n00:43:27,440 –> 00:43:29,200
\nactually dress yourself before
\nyou leave. <\/p>\n
764
\n00:43:29,400 –> 00:43:31,760
\nBut go ahead and decide if you
\nwant to be a boy or a girl. <\/p>\n
765
\n00:43:31,760 –> 00:43:33,920
\nThat’s not immaterial decision
\nthat we’ll go ahead and let you <\/p>\n
766
\n00:43:33,920 –> 00:43:37,080
\nhave your 12 year old mind at.
\nThat’s the world. <\/p>\n
767
\n00:43:37,080 –> 00:43:39,880
\nWe live in.
\nThat’s the world it’s coming to.<\/p>\n
768
\n00:43:41,040 –> 00:43:45,200
\nWhen would anyone ever want so
\nwhen that doesn’t make sense. <\/p>\n
769
\n00:43:45,240 –> 00:43:49,920
\nWhy would anyone ever want to go
\nback to a state that God so <\/p>\n
770
\n00:43:49,920 –> 00:43:52,920
\nclearly disapproved of?
\nRound one, the flood. <\/p>\n
771
\n00:43:52,960 –> 00:43:56,480
\nRound two, change the language,
\nmake them go and. <\/p>\n
772
\n00:43:56,480 –> 00:43:59,400
\nYet we live in a.
\nWorld that’s going right back to<\/p>\n
773
\n00:43:59,400 –> 00:44:03,320
\nthe roots of political and
\nreligious confusion that messed <\/p>\n
774
\n00:44:03,320 –> 00:44:06,640
\nup the world in the 1st place.
\nNow think of it for a moment in <\/p>\n
775
\n00:44:06,800 –> 00:44:09,960
\nthe for the eyes of the Father.
\nHe looks at it. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:44:10,080 –> 00:44:12,680
\nAnd you almost can picture him
\ngoing, I mean, I knew it was <\/p>\n
777
\n00:44:12,680 –> 00:44:15,120
\ngoing to happen.
\nBut you know, again, really, I <\/p>\n
778
\n00:44:15,120 –> 00:44:16,960
\nmean, it’s not like he’s
\nsurprised by it, but Can you <\/p>\n
779
\n00:44:16,960 –> 00:44:21,000
\nimagine from his perspective
\nthinking, wow, that’s what makes<\/p>\n
780
\n00:44:21,000 –> 00:44:24,120
\nthis remnant so precious because
\nmost of them just want to do <\/p>\n
781
\n00:44:24,120 –> 00:44:25,880
\nwhatever it is that I tell him
\nnot to do. <\/p>\n
782
\n00:44:26,840 –> 00:44:29,480
\nBut that handful that’s
\ninterested in learning my way <\/p>\n
783
\n00:44:29,480 –> 00:44:33,040
\nand going my way, boy, I want to
\nspend the rest of eternity with <\/p>\n
784
\n00:44:33,040 –> 00:44:35,360
\nthem, calling out of people for
\nHis name. <\/p>\n
785
\n00:44:36,120 –> 00:44:38,920
\nWe Live Today in a world where
\nhuman nature is self-serving and<\/p>\n
786
\n00:44:38,920 –> 00:44:40,680
\nself promoted everywhere we
\nlook. <\/p>\n
787
\n00:44:41,320 –> 00:44:43,920
\nThe world wants to build on the
\nempires of the past that <\/p>\n
788
\n00:44:43,920 –> 00:44:47,080
\nrejected the governing love of
\nGod and replaced it with their <\/p>\n
789
\n00:44:47,080 –> 00:44:50,120
\nown brand of worship, where the
\ncreature has become more <\/p>\n
790
\n00:44:50,120 –> 00:44:53,800
\nimportant than the Creator.
\nWe must see all events in the <\/p>\n
791
