1
\n00:00:03,960 –> 00:00:05,440
\nWelcome to good Christophian
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:05,920 –> 00:00:07,120
\nThank you for.
\nJoining us this week. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:07,680 –> 00:00:11,040
\nOn this podcast, we select one
\ntalk a week to help us get the <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:11,040 –> 00:00:16,000
\nBible in our Daily News feed.
\nEach week we post a talk that we<\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:16,000 –> 00:00:19,000
\npreviewed from suggestions sent
\nin by listeners from around the <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:19,000 –> 00:00:21,560
\nworld.
\nThen we record a short intro <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:21,560 –> 00:00:23,640
\nbeforehand as a.
\nPersonalized recommendation to <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:23,640 –> 00:00:25,760
\nyou on why we are sharing the
\ntalk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:26,320 –> 00:00:28,320
\nAnd now let’s talk more about
\nthis week. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:28,320 –> 00:00:34,160
\n‘S talk.
\nHello everyone. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:35,560 –> 00:00:39,000
\nThis is Brother Levi McKinley
\nand I’m coming to you from the <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:39,000 –> 00:00:42,360
\nWend Your Anaclesia up in
\nsoutheast Queensland, Australia.<\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:44,400 –> 00:00:47,920
\nThis week’s talk was an exhort
\nthat was given by our brother <\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:47,920 –> 00:00:50,800
\nChristian Smith, who is also a
\nmember of the Wend Your <\/p>\n

15
\n00:00:50,800 –> 00:00:54,680
\nAnaclesia, and it was given back
\nin April 2024. <\/p>\n

16
\n00:00:56,200 –> 00:01:00,280
\nAnd although this talk was given
\na little over two years ago now,<\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:01,000 –> 00:01:04,080
\nit’s always stuck with me since
\nI heard it, and I’ve never <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:04,080 –> 00:01:06,920
\nforgotten it.
\nAnd one of the reasons why I <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:06,920 –> 00:01:12,400
\nthink it was so memorable, to me
\nat least, was the fact that as a<\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:12,400 –> 00:01:16,560
\nkid, I was always taught that
\nYahweh is God’s name. <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:17,600 –> 00:01:21,000
\nAnd I remember going over to my
\nfriend’s house and we’d all sit <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:21,000 –> 00:01:22,360
\ndown together and do the
\nreadings. <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:23,800 –> 00:01:28,160
\nAnd it always stood out to me
\nthat some people would replace <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:28,160 –> 00:01:32,440
\nthe literal words in their
\nEnglish Bible, Lord God, to the <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:32,440 –> 00:01:35,440
\nHebrew word Yahweh.
\nActually, you remember being <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:35,440 –> 00:01:39,240
\ncalled out once because I didn’t
\ndo it and I had no idea why, <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:39,840 –> 00:01:41,720
\nWhat, what the, what the go was
\nlike. <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:41,840 –> 00:01:45,240
\nWhy did people do this?
\nAnd so it was always a question <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:45,520 –> 00:01:50,160
\nin my mind growing up why we
\nviewed Yahweh as so special. <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:51,240 –> 00:01:54,800
\nAnd maybe I guess that’s one of
\nthe things with being young, you<\/p>\n

31
\n00:01:54,800 –> 00:01:57,080
\ndon’t have all the answers.
\nAnd as you grow, you find out. <\/p>\n

32
\n00:01:57,520 –> 00:01:59,640
\nAnd this is exactly what that
\ntalk did for me. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:00,120 –> 00:02:03,840
\nAnd maybe this is nothing new to
\nyou, but for me it was. <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:04,000 –> 00:02:08,759
\nAnd I found it very helpful
\nbecause it not only helped me to<\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:08,759 –> 00:02:13,600
\nunderstand why God chose to
\nreveal himself by His name, but <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:13,600 –> 00:02:18,520
\nit also helped me to appreciate
\nand to realize just how special <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:18,520 –> 00:02:22,160
\nHis name really is.
\nIt’s more than just a title. <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:23,600 –> 00:02:27,440
\nThe name Yahweh reveals God’s
\ngreatness and His depth of <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:27,440 –> 00:02:31,120
\nbeing.
\nBut something else that just <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:31,120 –> 00:02:34,720
\nblew me away, which I think is
\nprobably my favorite point from <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:34,720 –> 00:02:41,600
\nthis talk, is how God is breath,
\nhow Yahweh is breath, and <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:42,000 –> 00:02:45,960
\nwhether we intend for it to be
\nor not, the very breath in our <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:45,960 –> 00:02:50,240
\nlungs acknowledges God.
\nIf you get a free moment to <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:50,240 –> 00:02:53,920
\nyourself, just listen to
\nyourself breathing as you inhale<\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:54,600 –> 00:02:59,760
\nand exhale, and you’ll notice
\nthat you’re speaking His name <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:01,320 –> 00:03:08,120
\nbecause Yahweh is breath.
\nI think that’s really cool and <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:08,120 –> 00:03:11,560
\nvery special and definitely
\nshows God’s handiwork in us. <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:14,440 –> 00:03:18,520
\nSo, as always, we hope this talk
\nstrengthens your faith and <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:18,520 –> 00:03:22,360
\nbrightens your day.
\nThis is Brother Christian Smith,<\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:23,000 –> 00:03:25,880
\nthe name of Yahweh.
\nGood morning my dear brothers <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:25,880 –> 00:03:29,320
\nand sisters.
\nWhat a blessing and a privilege <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:29,320 –> 00:03:32,040
\nit is to be with you here this
\nmorning, gathered around the <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:32,040 –> 00:03:37,320
\nemblems of God’s love today.
\nThe thoughts for today’s <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:37,520 –> 00:03:39,480
\nexaltation have come from a few
\nplaces. <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:39,960 –> 00:03:42,480
\nFirstly, the Scriptures of
\ncourse, which is only <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:42,480 –> 00:03:48,360
\nappropriate, but also a few
\nhymns from the hymn book and <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:48,360 –> 00:03:52,360
\nalso a very unusual poem that I
\nstumbled across some time ago <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:52,360 –> 00:03:54,840
\nwhich I borrowed some of the
\nsentiment from. <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:56,760 –> 00:03:59,640
\nBut firstly, let’s start with
\nthe hymns. <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:01,920 –> 00:04:06,920
\nThere is a very clear memory in
\nmy mind, even from quite young, <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:07,520 –> 00:04:12,640
\nof being a little bit confused
\nand sometimes even slightly <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:12,640 –> 00:04:17,160
\namused by the words of a handful
\nof hymns from the hymn book. <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:18,120 –> 00:04:21,959
\nNow for some context to that
\nstatement. <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:23,040 –> 00:04:27,280
\nIf you’re old enough, we can
\nprobably cast our minds back and<\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:27,280 –> 00:04:31,080
\nremember that before the green
\nhymn book, there was the blue <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:32,440 –> 00:04:35,160
\nand the blue hymn book.
\nIn case you’re unsure what that <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:35,160 –> 00:04:38,280
\nis, is really just a shorter
\nversion of what’s in the green <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:38,280 –> 00:04:42,720
\nhymn book.
\nAnd in the addition of the blue <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:42,720 –> 00:04:45,640
\nhymn book that was used in the
\necclesia that I grew up in, <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:46,600 –> 00:04:49,480
\nthere were a handful of hymns.
\nThere weren’t many of them, but <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:49,480 –> 00:04:53,160
\nthere were a few that featured
\nthe word Jehovah. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:54,640 –> 00:04:57,880
\nNow, I’m not actually sure if
\nJehovah features in the green <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:57,880 –> 00:05:00,240
\nhymn book.
\nI think mostly we’d find that <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:00,240 –> 00:05:03,960
\nit’s the word Yahweh.
\nBut in any case, it wasn’t <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:04,040 –> 00:05:07,160
\nalways so in the hymn book that
\nwe grew up with. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:09,560 –> 00:05:15,000
\nNow even from quite young it was
\nobvious during the meeting that <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:15,000 –> 00:05:19,000
\nnobody sang Jehovah.
\nIt was replaced with the word <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:19,000 –> 00:05:24,720
\nYahweh instead, and this fact
\nwas made even more obvious. <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:25,560 –> 00:05:29,040
\nAnd this is where sometimes it
\nwas slightly amusing because <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:29,040 –> 00:05:33,560
\nthere was always the small
\nproblem of how to exchange the <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:33,560 –> 00:05:39,320
\ntwo syllable word Yahweh into
\nmusic that allowed for the three<\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:39,320 –> 00:05:43,960
\nsyllables of the word Jehovah.
\nSo this meant that there was <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:44,080 –> 00:05:48,280
\nalways a leftover note.
\nAnd the end result of that <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:48,280 –> 00:05:53,920
\nproblem was that these lines of
\nlyrics were often ended up being<\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:53,920 –> 00:05:59,680
\nmumbled or sort of sung
\nsignificantly quieter until the <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:59,680 –> 00:06:02,480
\nwords in the music’s music
\nmatched up again. <\/p>\n

87
\n00:06:04,440 –> 00:06:07,880
\nSo what that did for me, at
\nleast in my mind, if nothing <\/p>\n

88
\n00:06:07,880 –> 00:06:14,600
\nelse, was emphasise the fact
\nthat the word Yahweh was a much <\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:14,600 –> 00:06:17,080
\npreferred replacement for the
\nword Jehovah. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:18,840 –> 00:06:22,720
\nThat is, there was something
\nspecial about that word Yahweh. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:24,880 –> 00:06:28,280
\nAnd of course, all of that
\nprompted the question, why do we<\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:28,280 –> 00:06:30,520
\nuse the word Yahweh and not
\nJehovah? <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:31,120 –> 00:06:34,800
\nWhich is a good question.
\nJust to be clear, this isn’t <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:34,800 –> 00:06:37,000
\nactually the topic of our
\nexhortation this morning, but it<\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:37,000 –> 00:06:38,840
\nis very much leading us quickly
\nthere. <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:39,520 –> 00:06:44,360
\nSo while we’re here, just in
\ncase like me, you were unsure of<\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:44,360 –> 00:06:49,560
\nwhat the answer to that is, why
\ndo we use the word Yahweh? <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:49,560 –> 00:06:52,520
\nIt’s not Jehovah.
\nThis is, in short, the answer <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:52,520 –> 00:06:58,240
\nthat was given.
\nThe word Jehovah came about by <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:58,240 –> 00:07:06,240
\ntaking the consonants of the
\nword Yahweh, so that’s YHWH, and<\/p>\n

101
\n00:07:06,240 –> 00:07:12,520
\ncombining into them the vowels
\nof the Word Adonai, which is the<\/p>\n

102
\n00:07:12,520 –> 00:07:17,280
\nHebrew word for my Lord.
\nSo if we take the consonants of <\/p>\n

103
\n00:07:17,560 –> 00:07:22,280
\nYahweh and the vowels of Adonai,
\nmix them together, combine them,<\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:23,200 –> 00:07:27,000
\nthis gives us a word of roughly
\nYahuwah. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:29,760 –> 00:07:33,600
\nThis word was then Latinized,
\nthat is, was turned into a Latin<\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:33,600 –> 00:07:37,360
\nversion of that word which gives
\nus the word Jehovah. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:39,160 –> 00:07:42,200
\nAnd this process seems to have
\nbeen done in the Middle Ages by <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:42,200 –> 00:07:46,120
\nChristian scholars and then over
\nthe next few 100 years. <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:46,120 –> 00:07:49,040
\nIt was later abandoned by most
\nof them with of course Jehovah’s<\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:49,040 –> 00:07:52,720
\nWitness Witness group being the
\nmost notable to hang on to it. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:54,320 –> 00:07:59,120
\nSo in short, Jehovah the word is
\na man made word combining <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:59,120 –> 00:08:06,240
\ndifferent words and thoughts.
\nOne thing is certain in the <\/p>\n

113
\n00:08:06,240 –> 00:08:10,560
\nExodus 3 account, which Chris
\nread for us just before, when <\/p>\n

114
\n00:08:10,560 –> 00:08:16,000
\nMoses asked God what his name
\nwas, God didn’t reply with the <\/p>\n

115
\n00:08:16,000 –> 00:08:20,920
\nword Jehovah.
\nIn fact, it’s not really obvious<\/p>\n

116
\n00:08:20,920 –> 00:08:22,800
\nfrom our reading that he said
\nYahweh either. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:08:23,880 –> 00:08:28,160
\nSo why is it that we place so
\nmuch weight on this word of <\/p>\n

118
\n00:08:28,160 –> 00:08:33,760
\nYahweh, so much so to use it in
\nour hymns and to even often <\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:33,760 –> 00:08:39,280
\nreplace the words Lord God with
\nYahweh in our Bible readings? <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:41,960 –> 00:08:45,920
\nSo it is with this name of God,
\nand its original Jewish form in <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:45,920 –> 00:08:48,640
\nparticular that we will
\nhopefully draw some <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:48,640 –> 00:08:52,040
\nencouragement from this morning.
\nSo let’s have a look. <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:52,040 –> 00:08:54,720
\nIf you’re still at Exodus
\nchapter 3, let’s have a look at <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:54,720 –> 00:08:59,960
\nExodus 3 again.
\nSo this is what we read for us <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:59,960 –> 00:09:01,680
\nthis morning.
\nWe’ll start here. <\/p>\n

126
\n00:09:05,560 –> 00:09:10,080
\nSo this is the account where God
\nis asked to reveal his name to <\/p>\n

127
\n00:09:10,080 –> 00:09:15,000
\nhis people, the Israelites.
\nUntil now, he’s been known <\/p>\n

128
\n00:09:15,320 –> 00:09:19,480
\nmostly by titles.
\nThat is the Jewish versions of <\/p>\n

129
\n00:09:19,480 –> 00:09:22,280
\nthe word God, and we’ve already
\nmentioned one of those already. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:09:22,280 –> 00:09:23,840
\nThat’s Adonai, which means my
\nLord. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:09:24,600 –> 00:09:31,000
\nSo Exodus 3 verse 14 is the
\nverse where most that we’re <\/p>\n

132
\n00:09:31,000 –> 00:09:34,960
\ngoing to start with rather, but
\nthis passage really seems <\/p>\n

133
\n00:09:34,960 –> 00:09:40,000
\nslightly strange when Moses
\ntalks to God and we’ll talk <\/p>\n

134
\n00:09:40,000 –> 00:09:42,920
\nabout that later.
\nBut Moses said in short, the <\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:42,920 –> 00:09:48,160
\nIsraelites are going to ask me
\nwho has sent me and who is going<\/p>\n

136
\n00:09:48,160 –> 00:09:51,600
\nto deliver us from Egypt.
\nHe says to God, what will I tell<\/p>\n

137
\n00:09:51,600 –> 00:09:53,920
\nthem?
\nWhat name will I give them? <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:56,680 –> 00:10:00,040
\nNow, Israel historically weren’t
\nstrangers to God. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:10:01,000 –> 00:10:04,240
\nSure, their relationship had
\nbeen very up and down with him, <\/p>\n

140
\n00:10:05,560 –> 00:10:08,560
\nbut surely they were familiar
\nwith the God of their fathers. <\/p>\n

141
\n00:10:09,320 –> 00:10:10,640
\nThat’s what we would think at
\nleast. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:10:11,280 –> 00:10:15,200
\nBut maybe at this time when
\nthey’re slaves in Egypt, they <\/p>\n

143
\n00:10:15,200 –> 00:10:17,880
\nhad forgotten this fact while
\nthey were there. <\/p>\n

144
\n00:10:17,880 –> 00:10:21,840
\nSo God answers Moses with a
\nstatement. <\/p>\n

145
\n00:10:22,440 –> 00:10:27,320
\nSimple, definitive and eternal
\nstatement. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:10:27,320 –> 00:10:33,360
\nHe said aya Asha aya, or as we
\nwould read in our Bible, I am <\/p>\n

147
\n00:10:33,360 –> 00:10:39,000
\nthat I am or maybe your version
\nsays I will be who I will be. <\/p>\n

148
\n00:10:40,120 –> 00:10:44,520
\nTell the people God said I am
\nhas sent you. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:10:45,280 –> 00:10:51,880
\nThat is Moses.
\nWe’re reading here in the in <\/p>\n

150
\n00:10:51,880 –> 00:10:55,160
\nthis account, the first time
\nthat God expressed his <\/p>\n

151
\n00:10:55,160 –> 00:10:58,920
\nabsoluteness.
\nHe identified himself as <\/p>\n

152
\n00:10:58,960 –> 00:11:03,200
\nultimate truth, eternal and
\nunique. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:11:04,960 –> 00:11:08,560
\nLet’s have a look at verse 15
\nbecause here in verse 15 is <\/p>\n

154
\n00:11:08,560 –> 00:11:11,520
\nwhere God really answers the
\nquestion that Moses asked him. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:11:12,760 –> 00:11:15,920
\nGod continues in verse 15.
\nHe says, this shalt thou say <\/p>\n

156
\n00:11:15,920 –> 00:11:19,800
\nunto Israel, the Lord God of
\nyour father’s, the God of <\/p>\n

157
\n00:11:19,800 –> 00:11:24,000
\nAbraham, Isaac and Jacob had
\nsent me unto you. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:11:24,840 –> 00:11:30,560
\nThis is my name forever, and
\nthis is my memorial unto all <\/p>\n

159
\n00:11:30,560 –> 00:11:36,880
\ngenerations.
\nThe passage we read there, the <\/p>\n

160
\n00:11:36,880 –> 00:11:41,800
\nphrase this is my name that God
\nrefers to in verse 15 is <\/p>\n

161
\n00:11:41,800 –> 00:11:44,560
\nreferring back earlier in that
\nverse to Lord God. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:11:44,680 –> 00:11:48,320
\nWe would read at the beginning
\nof the verse or we could replace<\/p>\n

163
\n00:11:48,320 –> 00:11:51,680
\nthat, and we often do with the
\nword Yahweh. <\/p>\n

164
\n00:11:53,400 –> 00:11:56,200
\nYahweh is my name is what God
\nsaid. <\/p>\n

165
\n00:11:56,480 –> 00:12:03,640
\nMore accurately, YHWH is how it
\nwas originally written in <\/p>\n

166
\n00:12:03,640 –> 00:12:08,520
\nHebrew.
\nNow it really is a study in <\/p>\n

167
\n00:12:08,520 –> 00:12:13,320
\nitself how we go from Lord God
\nto the word Yahweh, which we <\/p>\n

168
\n00:12:13,520 –> 00:12:16,720
\nreally don’t have time for this
\nmorning, but as far as I can <\/p>\n

169
\n00:12:16,720 –> 00:12:21,640
\ntell, Yahweh is a good
\ntranslation to fit into that <\/p>\n

170
\n00:12:22,880 –> 00:12:27,480
\nfor, for that word Lord God.
\nBut in particular this morning <\/p>\n

171
\n00:12:27,480 –> 00:12:33,000
\nit’s the original Jewish form of
\nthe word Yahweh, which is really<\/p>\n

172
\n00:12:33,000 –> 00:12:37,080
\nvery interesting.
\nThe original written form of the<\/p>\n

173
\n00:12:37,080 –> 00:12:41,200
\nname of the Almighty that is
\nYHWH. <\/p>\n

174
\n00:12:41,200 –> 00:12:49,960
\nNo vowels, only consonants.
\nAll ancient Hebrew words follow <\/p>\n

175
\n00:12:49,960 –> 00:12:52,840
\nthis pattern when written.
\nThat is, they wrote them without<\/p>\n

176
\n00:12:52,840 –> 00:12:57,360
\nany vowels.
\nVowel sounds were often included<\/p>\n

177
\n00:12:57,360 –> 00:13:00,880
\nin words when spoken, but not in
\na written form. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:13:00,880 –> 00:13:05,360
\nSo it is left for the scholars
\nafterwards to surmise what the <\/p>\n

179
\n00:13:05,360 –> 00:13:08,920
\nsounds were likely to be as the
\nancient Hebrews spoke their <\/p>\n

180
\n00:13:08,920 –> 00:13:13,280
\nlanguage, and the word Yahweh
\nreally is no different. <\/p>\n

181
\n00:13:14,200 –> 00:13:18,760
\nIt seems like, as best as we can
\ntell, that the A and the E were <\/p>\n

182
\n00:13:18,760 –> 00:13:22,040
\nprobably the sounds used when
\nspeaking God’s name out loud, <\/p>\n

183
\n00:13:22,880 –> 00:13:24,480
\nthat that isn’t actually known
\nfor sure. <\/p>\n

184
\n00:13:26,280 –> 00:13:30,480
\nBut what we do know is that in
\nthis ancient Hebrew language, <\/p>\n

185
\n00:13:31,800 –> 00:13:37,000
\nGod chose to reveal His name to
\nmankind that we might benefit <\/p>\n

186
\n00:13:37,000 –> 00:13:40,680
\nfrom it.
\nHe chose a deeply nuanced <\/p>\n

187
\n00:13:40,680 –> 00:13:45,520
\nlanguage with layers of meaning,
\nwhere letters and words have <\/p>\n

188
\n00:13:45,520 –> 00:13:51,600
\nnumbers, sounds and symbology
\nattached to them, which can make<\/p>\n

189
\n00:13:51,600 –> 00:13:57,400
\nit hard for people with, let’s
\nsay, broad Australian accents to<\/p>\n

190
\n00:13:57,400 –> 00:14:04,400
\nalways fully appreciate.
\nSo just a few observations about<\/p>\n

191
\n00:14:04,400 –> 00:14:08,560
\nthe original title of Yahweh at
\nYHWH. <\/p>\n

192
\n00:14:11,080 –> 00:14:14,520
\nOn the surface, all of these
\nthings may seem unintentional <\/p>\n

193
\n00:14:14,720 –> 00:14:18,560
\nand of no consequence.
\nBut assuming that our <\/p>\n

194
\n00:14:18,600 –> 00:14:21,600
\nunderstanding of the language
\naspect of God’s name is correct.<\/p>\n

195
\n00:14:21,840 –> 00:14:24,480
\nAnd we do have to make
\nassumptions here because of <\/p>\n

196
\n00:14:24,480 –> 00:14:27,800
\ncourse, Exodus 3 was written
\nthousands of years ago. <\/p>\n

197
\n00:14:27,800 –> 00:14:31,720
\nA long time has passed since
\nthen, and we aren’t Jewish <\/p>\n

198
\n00:14:31,720 –> 00:14:35,440
\nlanguage scholars.
\nBut assuming that we’re correct <\/p>\n

199
\n00:14:35,440 –> 00:14:39,160
\non that, these things help to
\ngive us a better appreciation, I<\/p>\n

200
\n00:14:39,160 –> 00:14:43,720
\nthink, of the greatness and the
\ndepth of being of the Heavenly <\/p>\n

201
\n00:14:43,720 –> 00:14:51,080
\nFather.
\nSo firstly, YHWH is made-up of <\/p>\n

202
\n00:14:51,080 –> 00:14:58,000
\nthree different Hebrew letters.
\nSo they are the Y, yod, H, hay, <\/p>\n

203
\n00:14:58,120 –> 00:15:00,760
\nvav which is the West, and then
\na hay. <\/p>\n

204
\n00:15:00,760 –> 00:15:08,680
\nAgain, hay, or the rather yod or
\nthe Y is the smallest of the <\/p>\n

205
\n00:15:08,680 –> 00:15:13,040
\nHebrew letters, and it’s also
\nthe most frequently occurring <\/p>\n

206
\n00:15:13,040 –> 00:15:16,800
\nletter in Scripture.
\nYod, if you see it written, <\/p>\n

207
\n00:15:16,800 –> 00:15:20,160
\nlooks very much like a small dot
\nin Hebrew script. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:15:21,640 –> 00:15:27,000
\nAnd since a yod or a dot is used
\nto form all of the other <\/p>\n

209
\n00:15:27,000 –> 00:15:31,680
\nletters, it is considered to
\nrepresent the starting point of <\/p>\n

210
\n00:15:31,680 –> 00:15:33,320
\nthe presence of God in all
\nthings. <\/p>\n

211
\n00:15:33,680 –> 00:15:37,080
\nIn other words, it represents
\nGod’s omnipresence. <\/p>\n

212
\n00:15:38,840 –> 00:15:42,480
\nThe 2nd and 4th letters.
\nThe letter H or hey, as I would <\/p>\n

213
\n00:15:42,480 –> 00:15:47,600
\nsay it means look or behold.
\nThat’s the meaning of it, and it<\/p>\n

214
\n00:15:47,600 –> 00:15:51,800
\nis said to represent the divine
\nbreath and the power of God. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:15:54,040 –> 00:15:56,880
\nThe 3rd letter, the West is the
\nletter Vav. <\/p>\n

216
\n00:15:58,400 –> 00:16:02,520
\nThis letter has a meaning of
\nhook and as the 6th. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:16:02,880 –> 00:16:07,560
\nAs it is the 6th letter of the
\nHebrew alphabet, it’s then <\/p>\n

218
\n00:16:07,560 –> 00:16:11,720
\nassociated with man.
\nIn Hebrew tradition it is <\/p>\n

219
\n00:16:11,720 –> 00:16:16,080
\nsuggested that the vav
\nrepresents the connection or the<\/p>\n

220
\n00:16:16,080 –> 00:16:19,280
\nhook that binds heaven and
\nearth. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:16:20,760 –> 00:16:25,080
\nSo within this name of God we
\nhave a sense of omnipresence, <\/p>\n

222
\n00:16:26,360 –> 00:16:31,560
\nGod’s breath, and also a sense
\nof connection between heaven and<\/p>\n

223
\n00:16:31,560 –> 00:16:36,520
\nearth.
\nWe can also note that the word <\/p>\n

224
\n00:16:37,520 –> 00:16:43,720
\nYahweh with just the consonants
\nYHWH contains all soft sounds <\/p>\n

225
\n00:16:45,200 –> 00:16:49,480
\nand this makes it impossible for
\nthis word, the name of God, to <\/p>\n

226
\n00:16:49,480 –> 00:16:53,960
\nbe shouted.
\nIt is also impossible to be <\/p>\n

227
\n00:16:53,960 –> 00:16:58,600
\nspoken quickly or in any other
\nway other than very <\/p>\n

228
\n00:16:58,600 –> 00:17:03,240
\ndeliberately.
\nIn fact, this word, when we do <\/p>\n

229
\n00:17:03,240 –> 00:17:07,240
\ntry to say it in its vowel form,
\nis quite difficult to say. <\/p>\n

230
\n00:17:08,560 –> 00:17:12,599
\nIt is almost impossible for the
\nmouth to ever close properly <\/p>\n

231
\n00:17:12,599 –> 00:17:18,440
\naround it.
\nYHWH comes out as little more <\/p>\n

232
\n00:17:18,839 –> 00:17:21,599
\nthan breath.
\nI’ll try it. <\/p>\n

233
\n00:17:22,319 –> 00:17:31,280
\nYeah, an interesting thought
\nthat God’s name in this form is <\/p>\n

234
\n00:17:31,720 –> 00:17:35,760
\nalmost unpronounceable as
\nanything other than breath. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:17:40,080 –> 00:17:45,840
\nAccidental maybe, but if not,
\nhow fitting in the light of <\/p>\n

236
\n00:17:45,840 –> 00:17:48,680
\nBible teaching of God and in
\nparticular a verse that we read <\/p>\n

237
\n00:17:48,680 –> 00:17:50,800
\nin John chapter 4.
\nSo come with me there, if you <\/p>\n

238
\n00:17:50,800 –> 00:18:04,080
\nwould, to John chapter 4.
\nIn this chapter in John chapter <\/p>\n

239
\n00:18:04,080 –> 00:18:09,520
\n4, Jesus spoke to a woman of
\nSamaria and their paths crossed <\/p>\n

240
\n00:18:09,520 –> 00:18:12,560
\nas she was came to draw water
\nfrom the well. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:18:13,560 –> 00:18:20,480
\nDuring that conversation in
\nverse 23, Jesus said to her, But<\/p>\n

242
\n00:18:20,480 –> 00:18:24,920
\nthe hour cometh, and now is when
\nthe true worshippers shall <\/p>\n

243
\n00:18:24,920 –> 00:18:30,040
\nworship the Father in spirit and
\nin truth, for the Father seeketh<\/p>\n

244
\n00:18:30,040 –> 00:18:35,040
\nsuch to worship him.
\nAnd verse 24, God is a spirit, <\/p>\n

245
\n00:18:36,040 –> 00:18:40,920
\nand they that worship Him must
\nwork, must worship him in spirit<\/p>\n

246
\n00:18:41,520 –> 00:18:48,720
\nand in truth.
\nGod is a spirit, or my saying <\/p>\n

247
\n00:18:49,000 –> 00:18:52,000
\ndepending on the version you’ve
\ngot, God is spirit. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:18:54,680 –> 00:19:00,560
\nThis word spirit means vital
\nprinciple or breath. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:19:03,240 –> 00:19:07,320
\nGod is the vital principle.
\nHe is breath. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:19:08,920 –> 00:19:15,080
\nGod is breath from John 4.
\nHow fitting, then, is the <\/p>\n

251
\n00:19:15,080 –> 00:19:19,040
\noriginal Hebrew form of his
\nname, which is also little more <\/p>\n

252
\n00:19:19,040 –> 00:19:25,600
\nthan breath.
\nBreath is the vital principle, <\/p>\n

253
\n00:19:25,600 –> 00:19:27,400
\nas we know, to all living
\nthings. <\/p>\n

254
\n00:19:28,320 –> 00:19:32,040
\nWe can survive several days with
\nour food, only two or three <\/p>\n

255
\n00:19:32,040 –> 00:19:35,800
\nwithout water, but we have only
\nminutes with our breath. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:19:37,600 –> 00:19:41,600
\nBreathing is our most basic
\naction, an essential one, our <\/p>\n

257
\n00:19:41,600 –> 00:19:46,720
\nfirst task at birth and the last
\nof death, an action done without<\/p>\n

258
\n00:19:46,720 –> 00:19:50,360
\nthought or consideration until
\nit is not able to be performed <\/p>\n

259
\n00:19:50,360 –> 00:19:52,880
\neasily.
\nWe take breathing for granted, <\/p>\n

260
\n00:19:52,880 –> 00:19:55,240
\ndon’t we?
\nUntil it’s hard to do. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:19:56,960 –> 00:19:59,360
\nAnd I’m sure we can all identify
\nwith the horrible feeling of <\/p>\n

262
\n00:19:59,360 –> 00:20:04,280
\nbeing short of breath, or
\nfinding our air supply polluted,<\/p>\n

263
\n00:20:05,000 –> 00:20:07,760
\nor the feeling of desperation
\nwhen we’ve found ourselves <\/p>\n

264
\n00:20:08,040 –> 00:20:13,280
\nunderwater for too long and
\nurgently needing that vital gasp<\/p>\n

265
\n00:20:13,280 –> 00:20:16,920
\nof air, or even eating a piece
\nof steak can happen. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:20:20,680 –> 00:20:27,000
\nWe are nothing without breath.
\nNothing else matters to us when <\/p>\n

267
\n00:20:27,000 –> 00:20:31,000
\nwe are struggling to breathe.
\nAll other issues or ailments at <\/p>\n

268
\n00:20:31,000 –> 00:20:36,280
\nthose desperate times are
\nsecondary to just get air. <\/p>\n

269
\n00:20:38,640 –> 00:20:42,440
\nOf course, our dependency on air
\nis always present, including <\/p>\n

270
\n00:20:42,440 –> 00:20:44,600
\nright now.
\nIt’s just that we give it little<\/p>\n

271
\n00:20:44,600 –> 00:20:48,160
\nthought until those precious,
\nprecious breaths are hard to <\/p>\n

272
\n00:20:48,160 –> 00:20:51,880
\nfind.
\nAs we know, we are utterly <\/p>\n

273
\n00:20:51,880 –> 00:20:54,040
\ndependent on the Almighty for
\nour breath of life. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:20:54,480 –> 00:21:00,360
\nJust as a newborn can do nothing
\nfor itself, so are we dependent <\/p>\n

275
\n00:21:00,360 –> 00:21:07,000
\non the Almighty, on Yahweh.
\nHe alone supplies the air, the <\/p>\n

276
\n00:21:07,000 –> 00:21:10,120
\nability to breathe it, and the
\nlife that it gives. <\/p>\n

277
\n00:21:10,120 –> 00:21:13,840
\nWe do none of it ourselves.
\nAnd we are totally at His mercy.<\/p>\n

278
\n00:21:15,800 –> 00:21:21,360
\nEvery breath that fills our
\nlungs is a tiny little gift to <\/p>\n

279
\n00:21:21,360 –> 00:21:27,640
\nus from God himself.
\nSo let’s consider our breath of <\/p>\n

280
\n00:21:27,640 –> 00:21:32,720
\nlife and the Spirit of God in
\nGenesis, and we’ll follow it <\/p>\n

281
\n00:21:32,720 –> 00:21:35,640
\nthrough to Ecclesiastes.
\nSo if you’d like to have a look <\/p>\n

282
\n00:21:35,640 –> 00:21:40,560
\nat Genesis 2, we’ll see here the
\ncontinuation of it and where <\/p>\n

283
\n00:21:40,560 –> 00:21:44,080
\nbreath really comes from between
\nthese two two quotes. <\/p>\n

284
\n00:21:44,080 –> 00:21:58,480
\nSo Genesis chapter 2.
\nAnd in Genesis 2 we read how <\/p>\n

285
\n00:21:58,480 –> 00:22:02,120
\nAdam was formed out of the dust
\nof the ground at creation. <\/p>\n

286
\n00:22:02,920 –> 00:22:07,840
\nThe necessary elements to form a
\nhuman were all present, with the<\/p>\n

287
\n00:22:07,840 –> 00:22:10,600
\natoms all ranged in the right
\nway. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:22:11,040 –> 00:22:15,360
\nYet Adam was not a living soul
\nuntil the breath of life was put<\/p>\n

289
\n00:22:15,360 –> 00:22:17,320
\ninto his body.
\nAnd we know that from Genesis 2 <\/p>\n

290
\n00:22:17,320 –> 00:22:22,880
\nverse 7 says and the Lord God,
\nthat’s Yahweh formed man of the <\/p>\n

291
\n00:22:22,880 –> 00:22:26,640
\ndust of the ground and breathed
\ninto his nostrils the breath of <\/p>\n

292
\n00:22:26,640 –> 00:22:30,640
\nlife and man that is Adam became
\na living soul. <\/p>\n

293
\n00:22:33,200 –> 00:22:38,640
\nSo Adam was a lifeless body
\nuntil God provided that spark of<\/p>\n

294
\n00:22:38,640 –> 00:22:44,520
\nlife to allow all of his organs
\nto function and then that breath<\/p>\n

295
\n00:22:44,520 –> 00:22:47,400
\nto keep them going.
\nSo this, of course, was the <\/p>\n

296
\n00:22:47,400 –> 00:22:49,840
\nbeginning of Adam and of human
\nlife. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:22:51,280 –> 00:22:55,520
\nBut once Adam was up and
\nbreathing and walking around, he<\/p>\n

298
\n00:22:55,520 –> 00:22:57,120
\ndidn’t turn to God and just say
\nthank you. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:22:57,120 –> 00:23:00,720
\nBut I’ve got it from here
\nbecause we know that’s not how <\/p>\n

300
\n00:23:00,720 –> 00:23:03,600
\nit works.
\nAnd Ecclesiastes 12 makes that <\/p>\n

301
\n00:23:03,600 –> 00:23:07,440
\nvery clear to us, that the
\ndependency on God’s Spirit that <\/p>\n

302
\n00:23:07,440 –> 00:23:10,480
\nis God’s breath is always
\npresent for us. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:23:10,480 –> 00:23:14,600
\nSo let’s have a look at
\nEcclesiastes 12, in particular <\/p>\n

304
\n00:23:14,600 –> 00:23:28,960
\nverse 7.
\nSo we’ve read about the <\/p>\n

305
\n00:23:28,960 –> 00:23:30,880
\nbeginning with Adam in the
\ngarden. <\/p>\n

306
\n00:23:32,880 –> 00:23:35,840
\nPlease out these trolls talking
\nabout the end at death. <\/p>\n

307
\n00:23:36,680 –> 00:23:40,360
\nAnd verse 7, the reeds.
\nThen shall the dust return to <\/p>\n

308
\n00:23:40,360 –> 00:23:45,160
\nthe earth as it was, and the
\nspirit shall return unto God who<\/p>\n

309
\n00:23:45,160 –> 00:23:48,720
\ngave it again.
\nThat word spirit in Ecclesiastes<\/p>\n

310
\n00:23:48,720 –> 00:23:52,440
\n12, verse 7 means breath or
\nvital principle. <\/p>\n

311
\n00:23:52,440 –> 00:23:55,680
\nWe could read it.
\nSo if we read that again, then <\/p>\n

312
\n00:23:55,680 –> 00:24:00,080
\nshall the dust return to the
\nearth as it was, and the breath <\/p>\n

313
\n00:24:00,760 –> 00:24:02,640
\nshall return unto God who gave
\nit. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:24:05,120 –> 00:24:09,960
\nAnd we read similar words really
\nin a Job, in Job 34 verses 14 <\/p>\n

315
\n00:24:09,960 –> 00:24:24,600
\nand 15, Job 34 verses 14 and 15.
\nAnd it reads there, if he, that <\/p>\n

316
\n00:24:24,600 –> 00:24:29,800
\nis God, set his heart upon man,
\nif he gather unto himself, his <\/p>\n

317
\n00:24:29,800 –> 00:24:35,120
\nspirit, and his breath, all
\nflesh shall perish together, and<\/p>\n

318
\n00:24:35,120 –> 00:24:45,240
\nman shall turn again unto dust.
\nSo from these verses we know <\/p>\n

319
\n00:24:45,240 –> 00:24:49,640
\nthat in the end the atoms return
\nto the ground where they came <\/p>\n

320
\n00:24:49,640 –> 00:24:55,280
\nfrom, and the breath or the
\nability to breathe returns to <\/p>\n

321
\n00:24:55,280 –> 00:25:00,880
\nGod where it came from.
\nAnd it is this thought that <\/p>\n

322
\n00:25:00,880 –> 00:25:05,360
\nhelps explain, I think, God’s
\nomnipresence, perhaps the <\/p>\n

323
\n00:25:05,360 –> 00:25:09,280
\nhardest of the three O’s of God
\nto get our head around. <\/p>\n

324
\n00:25:12,400 –> 00:25:16,920
\nAs believers in the Bible and
\nGod, we have really no problem <\/p>\n

325
\n00:25:18,040 –> 00:25:21,200
\ncoming to terms with His
\nomnipotence, that is, Him being <\/p>\n

326
\n00:25:21,200 –> 00:25:24,920
\nall powerful.
\nOf course, to be able to create <\/p>\n

327
\n00:25:24,920 –> 00:25:28,280
\nand sustain all things, He must
\nbe all powerful. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:25:30,920 –> 00:25:35,160
\nIf He’s all powerful, it is then
\nnot too much of A leap to <\/p>\n

329
\n00:25:35,160 –> 00:25:41,200
\nbelieve that He’s all knowing
\nand all seeing, but omnipresent.<\/p>\n

330
\n00:25:42,760 –> 00:25:48,560
\nTo be everywhere present is, I
\nthink, hardest for us to <\/p>\n

331
\n00:25:48,560 –> 00:25:53,360
\nunderstand because we can only
\nunderstand our being as existing<\/p>\n

332
\n00:25:53,360 –> 00:25:56,160
\nin a fixed place during a
\ncertain time. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:25:57,960 –> 00:26:02,560
\nWe can’t experience anything
\nbeing all places at the same <\/p>\n

334
\n00:26:02,560 –> 00:26:11,840
\ntime, everywhere, but God is so
\nfar above our experiences. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:26:13,160 –> 00:26:19,320
\nCome with me to Psalm 139
\nspeaking about God’s <\/p>\n

336
\n00:26:19,360 –> 00:26:30,320
\nomnipresence.
\nPsalm 139, we’ll start at verse <\/p>\n

337
\n00:26:30,320 –> 00:26:34,360
\n7.
\nJust go down to verse 10. <\/p>\n

338
\n00:26:36,280 –> 00:26:38,080
\nVerse 7.
\nWhither shall I go from my <\/p>\n

339
\n00:26:38,080 –> 00:26:42,280
\nspirit, or whither shall I flee
\nfrom thy presence? <\/p>\n

340
\n00:26:43,640 –> 00:26:47,200
\nSo whither shall I go from my
\nbreath, or whither shall I go <\/p>\n

341
\n00:26:47,200 –> 00:26:50,040
\nfrom thy presence?
\nIf I ascend up into heaven, thou<\/p>\n

342
\n00:26:50,040 –> 00:26:52,880
\nart there.
\nIf I make my bed in hell, behold<\/p>\n

343
\n00:26:53,120 –> 00:26:55,840
\nthou art there.
\nIf I take the wings of the <\/p>\n

344
\n00:26:55,840 –> 00:26:59,920
\nmorning and dwell in the
\nuttermost parts of the sea, even<\/p>\n

345
\n00:26:59,920 –> 00:27:03,920
\nthere shall thy right hand leave
\nme, and thy right hand shall <\/p>\n

346
\n00:27:03,920 –> 00:27:09,680
\nhold me.
\nAnd again in Jeremiah 23, we <\/p>\n

347
\n00:27:09,680 –> 00:27:13,080
\nalso read the words where God’s
\nGod asks a question. <\/p>\n

348
\n00:27:13,640 –> 00:27:23,560
\nDo I not feel heaven and earth?
\nThe vital principle of the <\/p>\n

349
\n00:27:23,560 –> 00:27:28,680
\nbreath of life, the Spirit of
\nGod, is what provides life and <\/p>\n

350
\n00:27:28,680 –> 00:27:32,440
\nkeeps it going in all of these
\nplaces at the same time. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:27:33,920 –> 00:27:38,880
\nLife can only be provided by the
\nCreator, and in this way Yahweh <\/p>\n

352
\n00:27:38,880 –> 00:27:43,720
\nis omnipresent.
\nHis life giving presence is felt<\/p>\n

353
\n00:27:43,720 –> 00:27:48,400
\nin all living things, from the
\nunknowing shrub to the smallest <\/p>\n

354
\n00:27:48,400 –> 00:27:52,680
\nof creatures, to the most
\nobedient of disciples and even <\/p>\n

355
\n00:27:52,680 –> 00:27:57,280
\nthe most ironclad atheists.
\nAll bear witness of the Creator <\/p>\n

356
\n00:27:57,280 –> 00:28:02,800
\nwith each breath.
\nEach breath is exaltation to the<\/p>\n

357
\n00:28:02,800 –> 00:28:06,960
\nAlmighty, whether or not it is
\neven realised or acknowledged. <\/p>\n

358
\n00:28:09,760 –> 00:28:14,480
\nGod is breath.
\nHe is the vital principle to us.<\/p>\n

359
\n00:28:15,080 –> 00:28:17,320
\nHe is vital to our existence
\nright now. <\/p>\n

360
\n00:28:17,960 –> 00:28:24,160
\nAnd His Son is vital to our
\nfuture, Jesus, the ultimate <\/p>\n

361
\n00:28:24,160 –> 00:28:27,320
\nexample of how our sinful ways
\ncan be overcome. <\/p>\n

362
\n00:28:27,640 –> 00:28:32,640
\nAnd then our mortal functions
\nreplaced, our corrupted failing <\/p>\n

363
\n00:28:32,640 –> 00:28:35,520
\nbodies replaced with an
\nincorruptible one, which is <\/p>\n

364
\n00:28:35,520 –> 00:28:38,320
\nsurely, which is surely the
\ngreatest of all gifts. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:28:40,560 –> 00:28:44,120
\nJesus body is now changed by
\nGod-given immortality. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:28:45,240 –> 00:28:48,960
\nAnd when we consider the process
\nof how this was done, the <\/p>\n

367
\n00:28:48,960 –> 00:28:53,800
\nsacrifice and the blessing
\nprovided by God and His Son, we <\/p>\n

368
\n00:28:53,800 –> 00:28:57,520
\ncan truly think, truly
\nappreciate, I think, the <\/p>\n

369
\n00:28:57,520 –> 00:29:04,920
\nopportunities given to us today.
\nGod gave his Son the breath of <\/p>\n

370
\n00:29:04,920 –> 00:29:08,240
\nlife and Jesus didn’t waste a
\nsingle one of them. <\/p>\n

371
\n00:29:09,480 –> 00:29:13,680
\nHe used each breath wisely and
\nnot even an idle word past his <\/p>\n

372
\n00:29:13,680 –> 00:29:17,800
\nlips.
\nFaithful service day after day. <\/p>\n

373
\n00:29:19,320 –> 00:29:23,360
\nOf course this pleased the
\nFather, but even Jesus breath <\/p>\n

374
\n00:29:24,000 –> 00:29:29,760
\nneeded to be removed and so and
\nso important was this event that<\/p>\n

375
\n00:29:30,040 –> 00:29:34,920
\nGod not only knew what would
\nhappen, He not only allowed it <\/p>\n

376
\n00:29:34,920 –> 00:29:41,440
\nto happen, but God actually had
\nto make it happen because only <\/p>\n

377
\n00:29:41,440 –> 00:29:46,000
\nYahweh could give His Son life
\ngiving breath and only Yahweh <\/p>\n

378
\n00:29:46,000 –> 00:29:52,560
\ncould take it away.
\nAnd so He did for us brethren <\/p>\n

379
\n00:29:52,560 –> 00:29:57,600
\nand sisters.
\nOn the cross, Yahweh removed his<\/p>\n

380
\n00:29:57,600 –> 00:30:03,160
\nspirit from his Son’s body.
\nJesus breath returned to God who<\/p>\n

381
\n00:30:03,160 –> 00:30:09,280
\ngave it, and Yahweh’s
\nomnipresence was definitely felt<\/p>\n

382
\n00:30:09,280 –> 00:30:15,760
\nby all at that time.
\nBut of course Jesus death was <\/p>\n

383
\n00:30:15,760 –> 00:30:17,280
\nshort lived, which is a good
\nthing. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:30:17,280 –> 00:30:21,360
\nThree days later, God’s Spirit
\nwas returned to Jesus in a way <\/p>\n

385
\n00:30:21,360 –> 00:30:23,840
\nyet not experienced by anyone
\nelse. <\/p>\n

386
\n00:30:25,200 –> 00:30:29,800
\nGod’s breath of life was
\nreturned in abundance, so much <\/p>\n

387
\n00:30:29,800 –> 00:30:34,920
\nso that mortality was replaced
\nwith immortality, perfect in <\/p>\n

388
\n00:30:34,920 –> 00:30:39,920
\ncorruption, a state so good that
\nwe can’t really understand it. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:30:43,560 –> 00:30:46,440
\nAnd so we came here this
\nmorning, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n

390
\n00:30:47,000 –> 00:30:53,120
\nto remind ourselves of what is
\nreally important, to focus on <\/p>\n

391
\n00:30:53,240 –> 00:30:57,720
\nour minds on things that we
\nshould, to remember His Son and <\/p>\n

392
\n00:30:57,720 –> 00:31:02,880
\nour example, to obey and serve
\nwith love and gratitude. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:31:04,520 –> 00:31:07,920
\nIt is a blessing and a privilege
\nto be here this morning, isn’t <\/p>\n

394
\n00:31:07,920 –> 00:31:10,720
\nit?
\nNot just because of the <\/p>\n

395
\n00:31:10,720 –> 00:31:13,800
\nbeautiful surrounds in which we
\nfind ourselves gathered with <\/p>\n

396
\n00:31:13,800 –> 00:31:19,400
\nlike minded family, but also
\nbecause God has given us more <\/p>\n

397
\n00:31:19,400 –> 00:31:23,440
\ntime.
\nHe’s given us more breaths. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:31:25,000 –> 00:31:28,480
\nEnough breaths to witness this
\nday so far. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:31:30,600 –> 00:31:34,440
\nWhich is an amazing blessing,
\neven if we’re not particularly <\/p>\n

400
\n00:31:34,440 –> 00:31:38,760
\nfeeling it this morning.
\nFor whatever reason, as <\/p>\n

401
\n00:31:38,760 –> 00:31:43,200
\nundeserving as we all are, He
\nhas provided us with health and <\/p>\n

402
\n00:31:43,200 –> 00:31:46,680
\ncircumstance sufficient to meet
\nhere today. <\/p>\n

403
\n00:31:48,200 –> 00:31:53,600
\nThis is an amazing blessing and
\nit’s not always easy to feel <\/p>\n

404
\n00:31:53,600 –> 00:31:55,680
\nthat all the time.
\nI get that. <\/p>\n

405
\n00:31:55,680 –> 00:31:58,960
\nI know it’s easy to be like,
\nwell, meeting starts at 11, walk<\/p>\n

406
\n00:31:58,960 –> 00:32:02,520
\nin, hopefully get a seat near
\nthe air con somewhere, stand up,<\/p>\n

407
\n00:32:02,520 –> 00:32:06,400
\nsit down at the right times.
\nThat is how I can feel <\/p>\n

408
\n00:32:06,400 –> 00:32:09,920
\nsometimes.
\nBut really, what an <\/p>\n

409
\n00:32:09,920 –> 00:32:16,120
\nextraordinary blessing We have
\nbreath from God and opportunity <\/p>\n

410
\n00:32:16,120 –> 00:32:22,000
\nbeyond belief and each other to
\nshare the journey with praise <\/p>\n

411
\n00:32:22,000 –> 00:32:25,760
\nGod.
\nJohn 4. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:32:26,120 –> 00:32:31,600
\nGod is breath and we that
\nworship Him must worship Him in <\/p>\n

413
\n00:32:31,600 –> 00:32:37,680
\nbreath and in truth.
\nAt the beginning of this new <\/p>\n

414
\n00:32:37,680 –> 00:32:40,520
\nweek, we need to breathe words
\nof praise and worship to the <\/p>\n

415
\n00:32:40,520 –> 00:32:44,320
\nFather.
\nWe need to breathe words to <\/p>\n

416
\n00:32:44,320 –> 00:32:47,280
\nthose around us that are
\nbefitting of a disciple of <\/p>\n

417
\n00:32:47,280 –> 00:32:52,440
\nChrist.
\nWe need to be conscious and <\/p>\n

418
\n00:32:52,440 –> 00:32:58,840
\ngrateful for our breaths as the
\ngift of Yahweh that they are to <\/p>\n

419
\n00:32:58,840 –> 00:33:00,800
\nuse them well to give glory to
\nHim. <\/p>\n

420
\n00:33:04,040 –> 00:33:10,960
\nGod is unpronounceable, yet in
\nevery second pronounced, in <\/p>\n

421
\n00:33:10,960 –> 00:33:14,720
\nevery breath we take, hallowed
\nbe His name. <\/p>\n
