4
\n00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,300
\ntaco week to help us get the
\nBible in our daily news feed. <\/p>\n

\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:29,200 –> 00:00:31,300
\nintro.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:31,300 –> 00:00:33,500
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,500 –> 00:00:36,300
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:50,000 –> 00:00:53,400
\nDiscuss is called comfort and
\nParadox, a restoration in the <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:53,400 –> 00:00:56,000
\nKingdom.
\nIt’s a, the fifth class in a <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:56,008 –> 00:00:57,600
\nseries called the God of All
\nComfort. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:57,600 –> 00:01:01,100
\nMy brother marcher do know that
\nhe gave in at the Pittsburgh <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:01,100 –> 00:01:03,100
\ncollegial studied a, a couple
\nyears ago. <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:03,500 –> 00:01:07,700
\nIt’s a really great exploration
\nof kind of essentially, the <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:07,700 –> 00:01:11,200
\npretty pretty basic question of.
\nWhy does God allow suffering? <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:11,900 –> 00:01:16,500
\nBut the way that Mark kind of
\nteases this out is very <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:16,500 –> 00:01:20,400
\nimpactful and easy to follow.
\nHe has a wonderful Style Which I<\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:20,400 –> 00:01:23,100
\nalways enjoy listening to our.
\nNot had a chance to listen to <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:23,100 –> 00:01:26,700
\nthe rest of the series.
\nThis is the fifth, but but this <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:26,700 –> 00:01:31,300
\none definitely stands alone, it
\nwas suggested to us as the best <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:31,300 –> 00:01:33,700
\nclass in the series.
\nSo I’m excited too, excited to <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:33,700 –> 00:01:36,700
\nshare it.
\nThank you for listening, and <\/p>\n

\nsuggested this also wanted to <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:40,500 –> 00:01:43,800

\nof good crew self in music is <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:45,508 –> 00:01:48,600
\nseparate channel, the good
\nyourself in music podcast, it’s <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:48,600 –> 00:01:53,200
\nvery different Than this then
\nthis show but how about I still <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:53,200 –> 00:01:57,300
\nthink I’m very excited about
\nthat and we’ll be making those <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:57,300 –> 00:02:01,400
\njust a couple times a year.
\nSo episode 1 is available to <\/p>\n

\nThank you again for listening <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:03,100 –> 00:02:06,000
\nand here is the God of All
\nComfort by brother. <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:06,000 –> 00:02:09,199
\nMark Giordano comfort and
\nParadox Restoration. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:09,199 –> 00:02:13,000
\nIn the Kingdom, we’ve looked at
\nsome pretty heart-rending things<\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:13,000 –> 00:02:20,500
\nthis weekend and you would think
\nthat the focus on these <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:20,500 –> 00:02:25,300
\nafflictions is something that Is
\nreserved for certain times and <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:25,300 –> 00:02:28,600
\nplaces.
\nBut is it really good for me to <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:28,600 –> 00:02:32,000
\nconsider?
\nWe’ve shown the contrast between<\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:32,000 –> 00:02:34,700
\nAffliction and comfort?
\nAnd, and how Comfort is <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:34,700 –> 00:02:40,400
\nsomething that in a spiritual
\nsense, addresses Affliction, but<\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:40,400 –> 00:02:44,700
\nthrough the strength, to take it
\nto endure through it and through<\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:44,700 –> 00:02:48,800
\nthe hope of the future.
\nYou may not have realized this, <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:48,800 –> 00:02:52,500
\nif you are relatively new among
\nchristadelphians, that what <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:52,500 –> 00:02:56,200
\nwe’ve been speaking about the
\nentire time is the good news <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:56,200 –> 00:02:59,100
\nconcerning the kingdom of God,
\nand the name of Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:59,100 –> 00:03:03,400
\nAnd it’s good news, because it
\npromises to rectify every issue.<\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:03,400 –> 00:03:08,400
\nEvery problem, every need that
\nmen have in this world. <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:08,500 –> 00:03:11,400
\nTake everything that’s all
\nmessed up in this world and <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:11,400 –> 00:03:13,400
\nstraighten it out and make the
\nworld. <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:13,900 –> 00:03:16,700
\nA place that is restored to its
\noriginal state. <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:16,900 –> 00:03:20,000
\nIt was like a garden everywhere,
\nwhen the spirit of God, moved <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:20,000 –> 00:03:24,900
\nacross the face of the deep.
\nAnd there was the presence of <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:24,900 –> 00:03:29,400
\nthe Lord, as if he is with us.
\nThat’s the idea of the kingdom <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:29,400 –> 00:03:32,000
\nof God.
\nYou should ask yourself if this <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:32,000 –> 00:03:37,800
\nmakes sense to me. do I have a
\nplace in that future but I like <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:37,800 –> 00:03:42,800
\nto help the Lord when he becomes
\nking, go to all places of the <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:42,800 –> 00:03:46,800
\nworld and feed the hungry, a way
\nto deal with that question for <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:46,800 –> 00:03:51,600
\nyourself, would be what If I had
\nthe opportunity in the power and<\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:51,600 –> 00:03:55,500
\nthe means the resources to do
\nthat now, and I knew that there <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:55,500 –> 00:03:58,800
\nwere millions of people starving
\nin a foreign country, or that <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:58,800 –> 00:04:01,200
\nthere was there were girls, that
\ncould be rescued from a <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:01,200 –> 00:04:03,900
\nhorrible, kidnapping, other
\nthere were children who afraid <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:03,900 –> 00:04:08,000
\nto go to school.
\nIf I had the power to help what <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:08,000 –> 00:04:10,600
\nI do that.
\nBut if the answer to that <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:10,600 –> 00:04:12,200
\nquestion is, yes, then all the
\nmore. <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:12,200 –> 00:04:17,100
\nSo would you be able to affirm
\nthe idea that God has offered <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:17,100 –> 00:04:18,899
\nyou the power to do that in the
\nfuture? <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:19,500 –> 00:04:24,300
\nSo when you are new among us, or
\nif you have not really seriously<\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:24,300 –> 00:04:26,600
\nconsidered your place, in all
\nthe things that we’ve been <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:26,600 –> 00:04:31,800
\nspeaking about, you would give
\nserious consideration to the, <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:32,600 –> 00:04:38,400
\nthe reality of having the
\nopportunity to do this in the <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:38,400 –> 00:04:41,300
\nkingdom of God.
\nAnd that would be sometime, not <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:41,300 –> 00:04:44,200
\nin the nebulous regions of
\ndistant future. <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:44,200 –> 00:04:48,600
\nBut in the very near future so
\nmuch prophetic evidence that the<\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:48,600 –> 00:04:53,700
\nLord is about, Return that this
\npromise that was embodied in the<\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:53,707 –> 00:04:55,800
\nquestion.
\nThe disciples asked Jesus after <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:55,800 –> 00:04:58,600
\nhe came back from the dead, they
\nsaid there with them for 40 days<\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:58,600 –> 00:05:02,800
\nand they said will you at this
\ntime restore the kingdom to <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:02,800 –> 00:05:04,500
\nIsrael?
\nAnd while he said, well, it’s <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:04,500 –> 00:05:08,300
\nnot for you to know the times
\nand the seasons but God is fixed<\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:08,300 –> 00:05:11,600
\neverything in his purpose and
\nwhen he was just taken away and <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:11,600 –> 00:05:14,800
\nthey saw him go and they were
\nstanding there and they said <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:15,900 –> 00:05:18,300
\nstaring into the heavens.
\nAnd there were two angels that <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:18,300 –> 00:05:20,400
\ncame there and they said Add
\nthis same Jesus. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:20,400 –> 00:05:23,300
\nWhy are you standing staring
\ninto the clouds the same Jesus <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:23,600 –> 00:05:25,900
\nthat was taken up from you into
\nheaven? <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:25,900 –> 00:05:29,500
\nShall so come in like manner.
\nIn other words, he left as a <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:29,508 –> 00:05:33,900
\nphysical personal being he will
\nreturn as such not as a spirit <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:34,100 –> 00:05:37,000
\nbut his King.
\nIt’s a fitting King, somebody <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:37,000 –> 00:05:39,600
\nwho’s not all bound up in the
\nridiculous politics of this <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:39,600 –> 00:05:44,000
\nworld today, but somebody who is
\nsuited to the task of taking <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:44,000 –> 00:05:48,800
\nthis world and straightening out
\nevery problem that exists in <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:48,800 –> 00:05:54,400
\nsuch Way that it will bring
\npeace on Earth and Goodwill <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:54,400 –> 00:06:00,500
\ntoward men and that’s the hope
\nof restoration in the Kingdom. <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:01,800 –> 00:06:05,300
\nThen again, after thinking,
\nwell, that’s all good news. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:05,300 –> 00:06:10,000
\nAnd I agree with you that is
\nreally good news, but I’ve <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:10,000 –> 00:06:13,100
\nlooked at religion.
\nKind of scene. <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:14,300 –> 00:06:17,500
\nThe pros and cons.
\nI’ve seen more evil done in the <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:17,500 –> 00:06:22,200
\nname of religion and any other
\nthing in this world, even people<\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:22,200 –> 00:06:25,800
\noffering their children as burnt
\nofferings in the name of some <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:25,800 –> 00:06:28,400
\nreligion.
\nIt seems like there have been <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:28,400 –> 00:06:32,000
\nWars throughout history that
\nwere fought for religious causes<\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:33,500 –> 00:06:37,500
\nand then on a more intimate
\nlevel, I don’t know, a God, who <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:37,500 –> 00:06:41,700
\nanswers prayer necessarily.
\nI’ve made some prayers and it <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:41,700 –> 00:06:43,900
\ndidn’t seem to me that they
\ncame. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:44,100 –> 00:06:47,900
\nOut the way I thought they would
\nthose are very real questions. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:48,000 –> 00:06:51,300
\nThey all have answers today.
\nWhat we’re going to do is focus <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:51,300 –> 00:06:55,000
\non some of the paradoxes that
\ncome up in Affliction, where <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:55,900 –> 00:06:59,700
\neverything you would normally
\nthink about prayer and about <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:59,700 –> 00:07:02,300
\nGod’s protection and guidance
\nhis love. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:02,300 –> 00:07:07,400
\nAnd his Justice doesn’t turn out
\nto be the way it seems. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:07,400 –> 00:07:11,900
\nIt should be very easy, for
\nexample, like job that when you <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:11,900 –> 00:07:17,700
\nget blindsided with a Extreme
\nset of trials. <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:17,700 –> 00:07:22,700
\nIn his case, they were over the
\ntop that you You call God’s <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:22,700 –> 00:07:29,000
\njustice and to question and you
\nyou look at yourself and say why<\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:29,000 –> 00:07:31,200
\ndoes this happen to me?
\nWhy did this happen to those <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:31,300 –> 00:07:33,800
\nschool children?
\nWhy did it happen to these young<\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:33,800 –> 00:07:36,600
\ngirls that were kidnapped?
\nWhy did it happen to that <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:36,600 –> 00:07:38,600
\nNation?
\nWhy is that Nation full of <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:38,600 –> 00:07:40,800
\nrubble?
\nWhen the people used to have <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:40,800 –> 00:07:44,000
\nrestaurants and houses and
\napartments and enjoy the <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:44,000 –> 00:07:47,100
\ngoodness, at least of their own
\nnatural lives in their land. <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:47,700 –> 00:07:52,900
\nWhen all these things are looked
\nat a lot of Come up then involve<\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:52,900 –> 00:07:56,300
\nthe paradoxes of Faith.
\nSo we’re going to take a look at<\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:56,300 –> 00:08:00,100
\nthose paradoxes of the
\nafflictions that we go through <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:00,100 –> 00:08:03,400
\npersonally.
\nAnd that may be a part of the <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:03,400 –> 00:08:08,300
\nquestions you have about God, is
\nhe real, is he really loving, is<\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:08,300 –> 00:08:12,700
\nhis justice of a true thing?
\nOr is it full of contradiction <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:12,700 –> 00:08:14,900
\nthat I can see.
\nAnd then I don’t understand. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:15,300 –> 00:08:18,700
\nThose are all the questions that
\nare at the root of Faith. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:18,700 –> 00:08:21,300
\nThey form the foundation of
\nfaith. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:21,300 –> 00:08:25,300
\nWhen Then they are resolved.
\nSo we are here now to consider <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:25,300 –> 00:08:27,300
\nthe answers.
\nAs we look at this big picture <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:27,300 –> 00:08:34,600
\nof restoration in the Kingdom,
\ndid you know, in the Bible, the <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:34,600 –> 00:08:42,900
\nword Affliction is also
\ntranslated narrow And I mean <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:42,900 –> 00:08:45,800
\neverything, we’ve said about
\nAffliction, would you think that<\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:45,800 –> 00:08:48,800
\nthe same word that comes out in
\nthe English language, as <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:48,800 –> 00:08:51,900
\nAffliction would come out in the
\nEnglish language? <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:51,900 –> 00:08:56,300
\nAs narrow?
\nWhat on Earth does narrow have <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:56,300 –> 00:08:59,800
\nto do with the kinds of things
\nthat we’ve been thinking about? <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:02,200 –> 00:09:05,500
\nYou remember, Jesus used that
\nparticular word to describe <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:05,500 –> 00:09:07,900
\nwhat?
\nIt’s like to have faith to <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:07,900 –> 00:09:10,600
\nfollow him to say, you know, I
\nbelieve this. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:11,000 –> 00:09:15,600
\nAnd so I’m gonna see if I can’t
\nenter through the door that he <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:15,600 –> 00:09:20,500
\nsaid, is now open to me and walk
\ndown a path that he said, is the<\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:20,500 –> 00:09:27,500
\nway to truth life.
\nSo he said in that context, <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:27,500 –> 00:09:32,000
\nenter in at the strait gate.
\nWide is the gate and Broad is <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:32,000 –> 00:09:35,700
\nthe way that leads to
\ndestruction and many there be <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:35,700 –> 00:09:39,800
\nwhich go in thereat, but the
\nstraight is the gate and narrow.<\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:39,800 –> 00:09:43,700
\nThere’s that word, narrow is the
\nway which leads unto life and <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:43,700 –> 00:09:47,100
\nfew there, be that find it.
\nSo would you have thought that <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:47,100 –> 00:09:53,000
\nJesus was saying that straight
\nis the gate and Afflicted is the<\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:53,000 –> 00:09:55,900
\nway.
\nThe language way, the language <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:55,900 –> 00:09:59,900
\ncomes through in the English
\ndoesn’t really convey. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:59,900 –> 00:10:03,900
\nWhat Jesus is saying, it falls
\nshort of being clear, and that’s<\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:03,900 –> 00:10:07,200
\nnot to say that Jesus was not
\nvery clear in everything. <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:07,200 –> 00:10:10,100
\nHe said, his words were perfect,
\nthey were perfectly Chosen. <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:10,100 –> 00:10:13,300
\nAnd I think in many times when
\nyou have a case like this, where<\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:13,400 –> 00:10:15,800
\nyou don’t really quite get the
\nsense of what he’s saying, from <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:15,800 –> 00:10:21,100
\nthe English rendition of it, it
\nstill works on all levels. <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:21,100 –> 00:10:24,800
\nSo people think they get the
\nidea that to live a If that <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:24,800 –> 00:10:28,900
\nfollows after Christ is going to
\nbe, you’re going to have to be <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:28,900 –> 00:10:31,100
\nstraight.
\nThat would be the simple <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:31,100 –> 00:10:34,500
\ninterpretation of this, the
\nstraight language that were <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:34,500 –> 00:10:39,400
\nusing here and that the gate is
\nstraight. <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:39,400 –> 00:10:45,600
\nIn other words, straight, and
\nnarrow means it’s on course in a<\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:45,600 –> 00:10:50,200
\nsimplistic interpretation of
\nthis line, but let’s take a look<\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:50,200 –> 00:10:55,200
\nat what Jesus really is saying.
\nIf he’s saying narrow is the way<\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:55,900 –> 00:11:00,700
\nthere’s two words here, straight
\nand narrow, the gate is straight<\/p>\n

169
\n00:11:00,700 –> 00:11:03,600
\nand narrow is the way.
\nWhat’s the game, as we said <\/p>\n

170
\n00:11:03,600 –> 00:11:06,600
\nbefore the gatekeeper, and the
\ngate is the Ingress. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:06,600 –> 00:11:08,300
\nAnd egress into the house of
\nGod. <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:08,300 –> 00:11:11,400
\nHe said, he’s got a big house
\nand still a lot of venues all <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:11,400 –> 00:11:13,500
\nover the world.
\nAnd Jesus said in my father’s, <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:13,600 –> 00:11:17,500
\nThere’s house are many, venues
\nits worldwide now that it’s been<\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:17,500 –> 00:11:20,100
\ntaken out of Israel and offered
\nto the Gentiles. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:20,300 –> 00:11:23,500
\nFor 2000 years have been
\nspreading all across the world. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:23,600 –> 00:11:28,900
\nIt’s a big house because it’s a
\nspiritual house or Temple, and <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:28,900 –> 00:11:32,300
\nit has a lot of rooms in it or a
\nlot of venue places where people<\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:32,300 –> 00:11:35,000
\nassembled to think about God
\njust like today is one of the <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:35,000 –> 00:11:39,400
\nrunes in that house.
\nThe gate is the entrance to that<\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:39,400 –> 00:11:43,000
\nhouse and that would mean that
\nwhen you come to the door of <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:43,000 –> 00:11:47,300
\nGod’s, House, a spiritual Temple
\nand you think about maybe going <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:47,300 –> 00:11:51,400
\ninside and staying inside,
\nliving inside that house in one <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:51,400 –> 00:11:56,200
\nof those rooms, then what he’s
\nsaying is there’s a certain <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:56,200 –> 00:11:58,200
\ncharacteristic to entering that
\ngate. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:58,200 –> 00:12:01,500
\nAnd in this case, the word
\nstraight means it has obstacles <\/p>\n

187
\n00:12:02,000 –> 00:12:04,500
\nit almost, you wouldn’t get
\nobstacles out of the word <\/p>\n

188
\n00:12:04,500 –> 00:12:06,300
\nstraight anymore than you get
\nAffliction out of the word <\/p>\n

189
\n00:12:06,300 –> 00:12:09,500
\nnarrow, but he’s saying it’s
\ngoing to, there’s going to be an<\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:09,500 –> 00:12:13,300
\nobstacle to your entering that
\nhouse. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:14,500 –> 00:12:17,200
\nSo, if you’ve stood on one side
\nand then come through, you know,<\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:17,200 –> 00:12:19,300
\nthat there are all sorts and
\nyou’ve watched other people <\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:19,300 –> 00:12:21,800
\nstand on one side of that gate
\nand then come through that gate <\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:21,800 –> 00:12:22,900
\ninto God’s house.
\nYou know. <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:22,900 –> 00:12:26,500
\nThere are obstacles in the way
\nthe things you thinking, well, <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:26,500 –> 00:12:29,100
\nyou know, maybe not right now.
\nI do not sure I want to walk in <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:29,100 –> 00:12:30,800
\nthere and sit in there for the
\nrest of my life. <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:31,000 –> 00:12:33,700
\nBecause on the outside of this
\nhouse, there are certain things <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:33,700 –> 00:12:35,700
\nand conditions that are working
\non me. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:35,700 –> 00:12:37,500
\nAnd on the inside the house,
\nthat the other things and <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:37,500 –> 00:12:40,800
\nconditions, we’re going to kind
\nof like maybe make restrictions,<\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:40,800 –> 00:12:45,100
\nput me in an uncomfortable
\nposition but nevertheless What, <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:45,100 –> 00:12:48,800
\nwhat you can readily see in the
\nreality of what he’s saying is, <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:49,200 –> 00:12:52,900
\nyeah, there’s obstacles in the
\nway of going through that gate. <\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:53,700 –> 00:12:57,600
\nAnd then the part that we don’t
\nwant to think about, we, it’s <\/p>\n

206
\n00:12:57,600 –> 00:13:00,400
\nhard to admit, but is as true as
\ntomorrow. <\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:00,900 –> 00:13:05,500
\nAnd that is that the way that
\nyou follow once beyond that gate<\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:06,400 –> 00:13:10,300
\nis full of Affliction.
\nThat’s the part that we’re <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:10,300 –> 00:13:13,000
\nsupposed to understand what he’s
\ntrying to get across to us. <\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:13,700 –> 00:13:15,500
\nSo he says, beloved do not think
\nit strange? <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:15,500 –> 00:13:19,800
\nThis is elsewhere coming from
\nthe inspired word of the Lord, <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:20,300 –> 00:13:24,800
\ndon’t think it’s strange.
\nIf there’s obstacles and <\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:24,800 –> 00:13:28,500
\nafflictions which in this
\ncontext, he refers to as fiery <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:28,500 –> 00:13:30,300
\ntrials, don’t think that’s
\nstrange. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:31,500 –> 00:13:34,300
\nAs if people who just live
\nnormal lives out in the world, <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:34,300 –> 00:13:35,900
\ndon’t have fiery trials, they
\ndo. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:35,900 –> 00:13:39,100
\nThe difference is they don’t
\nhave any hope you come through <\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:39,100 –> 00:13:42,200
\nthat gate and enter that way.
\nThe fiery trials are in the <\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:42,200 –> 00:13:46,200
\ncontext of a hope that anchors
\nyou in every respect for <\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:46,200 –> 00:13:49,800
\nanything that can come up and he
\nis the God of All Comfort. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:13:50,600 –> 00:13:52,600
\nSo he says, don’t think
\nsomething strange has happened <\/p>\n

222
\n00:13:52,600 –> 00:13:56,200
\nto you but Rejoice to the extent
\nthat you are partaking of, <\/p>\n

223
\n00:13:56,200 –> 00:13:59,800
\nChrist’s sufferings that when
\nhis glory is revealed, you may <\/p>\n

224
\n00:13:59,800 –> 00:14:02,200
\nalso be glad with exceeding joy
\nin the point. <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:02,200 –> 00:14:07,300
\nThere is entering, discipleship,
\nhas obstacles. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:08,600 –> 00:14:11,500
\nJesus put it to one man.
\nIt’s gonna cost you. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:12,700 –> 00:14:15,100
\nAnd he said elsewhere, but you
\nshould count the cost. <\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:15,100 –> 00:14:17,300
\nAnd once you’ve counted the cost
\nyou make the investment. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:17,300 –> 00:14:19,400
\nOnce you’ve made the investment,
\nyou have to understand. <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:19,500 –> 00:14:21,100
\nYou have everything in the
\nworld, the game. <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:21,400 –> 00:14:24,600
\nBecause if Jesus was promised,
\nthe sense of the world as his <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:24,600 –> 00:14:28,200
\ninheritance and you are heirs
\nwith him, according to the <\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:28,200 –> 00:14:32,700
\npromises to Abraham, then that
\npromise conveys to you and you <\/p>\n

234
\n00:14:32,700 –> 00:14:34,500
\nare an heir to the extents of
\nthe world. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:14:34,500 –> 00:14:37,800
\nIn other words, you will take
\npart ownership in the entire <\/p>\n

236
\n00:14:37,800 –> 00:14:42,100
\nplanet Earth and if you hate the
\nway things are now and you love <\/p>\n

237
\n00:14:42,100 –> 00:14:46,600
\nthe Off the idea of this World
\nRedemption, you would not be <\/p>\n

238
\n00:14:46,600 –> 00:14:49,800
\nable to resist.
\nThe offer of participating in <\/p>\n

239
\n00:14:49,800 –> 00:14:53,000
\nthat inheritance.
\nThat is yours for the taking in <\/p>\n

240
\n00:14:53,000 –> 00:14:58,400
\nfaith.
\nBut entering has obstacles. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:14:58,400 –> 00:15:02,900
\nAnd the way is strewn with
\nafflictions, this was the path <\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:03,200 –> 00:15:06,300
\nthat Jesus followed two to sort
\nof lead the way. <\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:06,300 –> 00:15:08,300
\nAnd he said, I am the way, the
\ntruth and the life. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:15:08,500 –> 00:15:11,700
\nHe led the way and he proved to
\nus the point of those <\/p>\n

245
\n00:15:11,700 –> 00:15:15,500
\nafflictions when you make when
\nyou address the afflictions like<\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:15,500 –> 00:15:19,800
\nhe did all kinds of things
\nemerge from that in the context <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:19,800 –> 00:15:23,900
\nof that Affliction that are
\nworthwhile that provide hope <\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:23,900 –> 00:15:26,000
\nthat that flesh out this vision
\nof the future. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:15:26,200 –> 00:15:28,900
\nThat provide the details
\nnecessary to understand. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:15:29,100 –> 00:15:32,300
\nThis is true, the truth, the
\nwhole truth and nothing, but the<\/p>\n

251
\n00:15:32,300 –> 00:15:34,600
\ntruth from the mouth of the
\nCreator and sustainer of the <\/p>\n

252
\n00:15:34,600 –> 00:15:37,500
\nuniverse.
\nSo would be walking in his <\/p>\n

253
\n00:15:37,500 –> 00:15:39,000
\nsteps.
\nWe’re going to experience the <\/p>\n

254
\n00:15:39,000 –> 00:15:42,100
\nsame things.
\nLet’s look at some discouraging <\/p>\n

255
\n00:15:42,100 –> 00:15:44,900
\nperceptions that come out.
\nAnd I got these mainly from, I <\/p>\n

256
\n00:15:44,908 –> 00:15:47,700
\nasked, Amy, what was it about
\nyour faith? <\/p>\n

257
\n00:15:47,700 –> 00:15:52,100
\nThat didn’t work when Dominic
\ndied when everything fell apart <\/p>\n

258
\n00:15:52,100 –> 00:15:55,200
\nfor you and you said, when
\neverything you thought about the<\/p>\n

259
\n00:15:55,200 –> 00:15:58,300
\nway God was working with us,
\ndidn’t really turn out to be to <\/p>\n

260
\n00:15:58,300 –> 00:16:00,900
\nbe what actually happened when
\nyou needed him. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:00,900 –> 00:16:02,500
\nThe most.
\nIt didn’t really seem like he <\/p>\n

262
\n00:16:02,500 –> 00:16:04,000
\nwas there.
\nWhen you thought he was <\/p>\n

263
\n00:16:04,000 –> 00:16:05,900
\nprotecting your son, he let him
\ndie. <\/p>\n

264
\n00:16:06,600 –> 00:16:09,200
\nWhat were those paradoxes?
\nWhat were the verses that <\/p>\n

265
\n00:16:10,600 –> 00:16:15,100
\nStrange to you in the midst of
\nthis horrible tragedy. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:16:15,700 –> 00:16:18,400
\nAnd so she told me, well, if I
\nhad problem with this, I promise<\/p>\n

267
\n00:16:18,400 –> 00:16:19,700
\nthis.
\nI always thought this about this<\/p>\n

268
\n00:16:19,700 –> 00:16:22,600
\npoint, and I didn’t understand
\nthis once Dominic died. <\/p>\n

269
\n00:16:23,000 –> 00:16:25,800
\nI had prayed for his protection
\nand God didn’t protect him. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:16:25,800 –> 00:16:28,900
\nSo there were versus that caused
\nher to believe. <\/p>\n

271
\n00:16:29,100 –> 00:16:31,800
\nThat she had a certain kind of
\nrelationship with God, that <\/p>\n

272
\n00:16:31,800 –> 00:16:37,300
\nwould transfer to the, the
\nwatchful eye and protection of <\/p>\n

273
\n00:16:37,300 –> 00:16:40,800
\nthe Lord over her son.
\nAnd that’s not what happened. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:16:41,400 –> 00:16:43,100
\nSo that happens that can make
\nyou say. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:16:43,100 –> 00:16:44,800
\nDo I really want to go through
\nthat gate? <\/p>\n

276
\n00:16:45,900 –> 00:16:48,000
\nDo I want to walk along that way
\nand take those afflictions? <\/p>\n

277
\n00:16:48,000 –> 00:16:52,100
\nIs that me or can I just go have
\nmy, make a party out of my life,<\/p>\n

278
\n00:16:52,100 –> 00:16:54,800
\nand travel a lot and the world
\nis my oyster and we’ll have some<\/p>\n

279
\n00:16:54,800 –> 00:16:57,600
\ngood meals would do some good
\nthings will have some fun, I’ll <\/p>\n

280
\n00:16:57,608 –> 00:16:59,800
\nmake a little bit of a
\ndifference in somebody’s life <\/p>\n

281
\n00:16:59,900 –> 00:17:01,700
\nand then there you are, that’s
\nyour life. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:17:01,700 –> 00:17:05,200
\nAnd at the end of it, whatever
\ngood you did fades in evaporates<\/p>\n

283
\n00:17:05,599 –> 00:17:10,800
\ninto the past when the memory of
\nyou phase after your demise. <\/p>\n

284
\n00:17:12,400 –> 00:17:15,200
\nSo these were some of these
\nspiritual paradoxes that came <\/p>\n

285
\n00:17:15,200 –> 00:17:19,500
\nup.
\nIn that discussion Comfort was <\/p>\n

286
\n00:17:19,500 –> 00:17:23,500
\nfirst used in scripture to
\ndescribe Noah yet. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:17:23,500 –> 00:17:26,700
\nThe problem with that whole
\nstory is God destroyed All Flesh<\/p>\n

288
\n00:17:26,700 –> 00:17:29,000
\noff the face of the earth and
\nits only say date people’s <\/p>\n

289
\n00:17:29,000 –> 00:17:31,800
\nwhere’s there any comfort in
\nthat that’s a paradox? <\/p>\n

290
\n00:17:33,000 –> 00:17:34,900
\nThese are scriptural.
\nParadoxes. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:17:35,300 –> 00:17:38,300
\nEsau was comforted by thoughts
\nof Vengeance when he thought you<\/p>\n

292
\n00:17:38,300 –> 00:17:40,800
\nmeant to kill my brother.
\nHe cheated me out of my <\/p>\n

293
\n00:17:40,800 –> 00:17:42,500
\ninheritance.
\nI killed a guy. <\/p>\n

294
\n00:17:43,400 –> 00:17:45,700
\nJacob found out.
\nHe had, he had he had to take <\/p>\n

295
\n00:17:45,700 –> 00:17:52,100
\noff out of there and Yet it says
\nhe was comforted by his <\/p>\n

296
\n00:17:52,100 –> 00:17:53,600
\nVengeance.
\nDoes that sound like something <\/p>\n

297
\n00:17:53,600 –> 00:17:54,400
\nthat’s?
\nGood to you? <\/p>\n

298
\n00:17:55,100 –> 00:17:57,400
\nThere’s a paradox.
\nThey’re going to take a look at <\/p>\n

299
\n00:17:57,400 –> 00:18:00,700
\nthat Comfort.
\nSeems little bit more elusive <\/p>\n

300
\n00:18:02,300 –> 00:18:04,600
\nwhen you need it.
\nThe most when aiming needed <\/p>\n

301
\n00:18:04,600 –> 00:18:08,700
\nComfort the most, there was no
\nComfort to be found and this is <\/p>\n

302
\n00:18:08,700 –> 00:18:11,300
\ncommon in the most severe of
\ntragedies. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:18:12,200 –> 00:18:16,900
\nI mean, everybody works with
\nstress and distress. <\/p>\n

304
\n00:18:18,000 –> 00:18:21,300
\nSimilarly, in some cases, in
\nmany cases and also differently,<\/p>\n

305
\n00:18:21,500 –> 00:18:25,000
\ndepending on how you’re wired
\nand what your perceptions of <\/p>\n

306
\n00:18:25,000 –> 00:18:32,500
\nthings are, but it seems to be
\nnot there. when you need it, the<\/p>\n

307
\n00:18:32,500 –> 00:18:37,000
\nmost If you live anytime in the
\ntruth, if you follow after this <\/p>\n

308
\n00:18:37,000 –> 00:18:38,900
\nway, you enter that gate and
\nyou’re going to see that. <\/p>\n

309
\n00:18:38,900 –> 00:18:41,400
\nThis is one of the most
\nperplexing Parts about life in <\/p>\n

310
\n00:18:41,400 –> 00:18:44,000
\nthe truth.
\nEspecially if you go way down, <\/p>\n

311
\n00:18:44,700 –> 00:18:46,600
\nyou’re going to be looking for
\ndeliverance, from God. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:18:46,900 –> 00:18:48,200
\nAnd just doesn’t seem to be
\nthere. <\/p>\n

313
\n00:18:49,100 –> 00:18:51,700
\nWhen you need comfort just done
\nseem to be there, so that’s <\/p>\n

314
\n00:18:51,700 –> 00:18:55,300
\nanother Paradox.
\nAnother one is, we’re promise, <\/p>\n

315
\n00:18:55,300 –> 00:18:58,700
\nwhatever we ask in prayer and
\nthen the answers, turn out to be<\/p>\n

316
\n00:18:58,700 –> 00:19:00,100
\ndifferent.
\nSo, how do you make sense out of<\/p>\n

317
\n00:19:00,100 –> 00:19:03,600
\nthat Paradox?
\nAmy had prayed while Dominic was<\/p>\n

318
\n00:19:03,600 –> 00:19:08,100
\nin college for her son for God
\nto protect her son, while he was<\/p>\n

319
\n00:19:08,100 –> 00:19:11,600
\naway from home and he dies in an
\naccident down there in 15 <\/p>\n

320
\n00:19:11,600 –> 00:19:14,500
\nminutes.
\nWas that mean? <\/p>\n

321
\n00:19:15,600 –> 00:19:18,000
\nI promise, whatever we ask in
\nprayer, what happened? <\/p>\n

322
\n00:19:20,500 –> 00:19:22,900
\nIt doesn’t seem to be true to
\nthe Bible lie to me. <\/p>\n

323
\n00:19:24,100 –> 00:19:26,800
\nYou know, Amy could not figure
\nout how it was. <\/p>\n

324
\n00:19:26,800 –> 00:19:29,900
\nIf she prayed for his protection
\nGod, let him die when he <\/p>\n

325
\n00:19:29,900 –> 00:19:33,700
\npromised the answer to her
\nprayer. <\/p>\n

326
\n00:19:34,900 –> 00:19:37,600
\nSo that’s a paradox that needs
\nto be resolved, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n

327
\n00:19:38,500 –> 00:19:41,300
\nAnd then there was this promise
\nthat there’s an angel of the <\/p>\n

328
\n00:19:41,308 –> 00:19:43,800
\nLord that camps around you and
\nwill deliver you. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:19:45,400 –> 00:19:48,500
\nAnd yet you have one fiery trial
\nafter another. <\/p>\n

330
\n00:19:48,500 –> 00:19:50,200
\nThere are Peaks and valleys in
\nlife. <\/p>\n

331
\n00:19:50,300 –> 00:19:54,000
\nThe Peaks are pretty nice but
\nthe valleys are awful and you <\/p>\n

332
\n00:19:54,000 –> 00:19:56,500
\ngot to wonder.
\nSo where’s the encamping angel? <\/p>\n

333
\n00:19:56,500 –> 00:20:00,200
\nIf where was that angel?
\nWhen I was in the pits of <\/p>\n

334
\n00:20:00,200 –> 00:20:04,900
\ndespair, Let’s take a look at
\nthese and see if we can make a <\/p>\n

335
\n00:20:04,900 –> 00:20:06,400
\nsimple.
\nResolution, to what we’re <\/p>\n

336
\n00:20:06,400 –> 00:20:09,300
\nthinking about, take these
\nparadoxes, put them in context <\/p>\n

337
\n00:20:09,300 –> 00:20:13,700
\nof scripture and resolve them in
\ncontext in context, not only of <\/p>\n

338
\n00:20:13,700 –> 00:20:16,500
\ntheir immediate context in
\nscripture. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:20:16,800 –> 00:20:20,000
\nBut in the context of everything
\nwe’ve been talking about using <\/p>\n

340
\n00:20:20,000 –> 00:20:23,600
\nhope for strength, instead of
\nfor deliverance, how can it be <\/p>\n

341
\n00:20:23,600 –> 00:20:28,000
\nsaid that Noah was a comfort?
\nI mean, this was from his birth.<\/p>\n

342
\n00:20:28,300 –> 00:20:31,100
\nThe idea about Noah and his name
\nwas, he was going to be a <\/p>\n

343
\n00:20:31,108 –> 00:20:34,500
\ncomfortable.
\nAnd then everybody in the world <\/p>\n

344
\n00:20:34,500 –> 00:20:37,500
\ngets destroyed.
\nHe saves animals instead of men <\/p>\n

345
\n00:20:37,800 –> 00:20:39,700
\nand they’re only eight people
\nsaved. <\/p>\n

346
\n00:20:41,200 –> 00:20:44,500
\nThis is where the idea of
\ncomfort and the name of Noah <\/p>\n

347
\n00:20:44,500 –> 00:20:48,500
\ncome together in the Bible.
\nIn Genesis 529 Noah’s name means<\/p>\n

348
\n00:20:48,500 –> 00:20:51,000
\nrest.
\nHe was named rest specifically, <\/p>\n

349
\n00:20:51,000 –> 00:20:56,400
\nbecause way Max said his dad,
\nthis one will Comfort us to sort<\/p>\n

350
\n00:20:56,400 –> 00:21:00,100
\nof a prophetic side to this
\nconcerning, our work in the toil<\/p>\n

351
\n00:21:00,100 –> 00:21:02,800
\nof our hands because of the of
\nthe ground which the Lord has <\/p>\n

352
\n00:21:02,800 –> 00:21:05,000
\ncursed.
\nJust two things going on this <\/p>\n

353
\n00:21:05,400 –> 00:21:07,000
\nway.
\nMax seem to understand that <\/p>\n

354
\n00:21:07,000 –> 00:21:09,300
\nthere would be a prophetic
\ncomfort that would come from <\/p>\n

355
\n00:21:09,300 –> 00:21:12,500
\nNoah.
\nGod, had cursed the ground. <\/p>\n

356
\n00:21:12,500 –> 00:21:17,100
\nSo there’s a relationship
\nbetween the curse of the flood <\/p>\n

357
\n00:21:17,100 –> 00:21:20,900
\nand the comfort that Noah would
\nprovide and what is that <\/p>\n

358
\n00:21:20,900 –> 00:21:23,500
\nComfort?
\nWell, it turns out on everybody <\/p>\n

359
\n00:21:23,500 –> 00:21:26,900
\nknows how the story ends that.
\nOnce they have the ark came to <\/p>\n

360
\n00:21:26,900 –> 00:21:30,300
\nrest, God came to Noah and he
\nsaid, it shall be. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:21:30,300 –> 00:21:34,400
\nWhen I bring a cloud over the
\nearth and the rain bow shall be <\/p>\n

362
\n00:21:34,400 –> 00:21:37,600
\nseen in the cloud.
\nAnd I will remember the <\/p>\n

363
\n00:21:37,600 –> 00:21:41,100
\nCovenant, which is between me
\nand you and every living Living <\/p>\n

364
\n00:21:41,100 –> 00:21:43,000
\ncreature of the earth and the
\nwaters shall never. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:21:43,000 –> 00:21:47,600
\nAgain, Destroy All Flesh.
\nThe rainbow shall be in the <\/p>\n

366
\n00:21:47,600 –> 00:21:51,000
\ncloud and I and I will look on
\nit to remember the Everlasting <\/p>\n

367
\n00:21:51,000 –> 00:21:55,300
\ncloth and Covenant when the
\nrainbow is in the cloud. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:21:55,300 –> 00:22:00,600
\nSo this is was the beginning of
\nGod’s promise to save everybody,<\/p>\n

369
\n00:22:00,600 –> 00:22:04,000
\ninstead of destroy everybody.
\nAnd again, it was in the context<\/p>\n

370
\n00:22:04,000 –> 00:22:08,800
\nof This Global Affliction of the
\ndestruction of the flood. <\/p>\n

371
\n00:22:08,800 –> 00:22:12,400
\nSo that’s how it’s Noah became a
\ncomfort. <\/p>\n

372
\n00:22:12,500 –> 00:22:17,700
\nIt was to Noah that God began to
\nfully Express this Covenant of <\/p>\n

373
\n00:22:17,700 –> 00:22:20,500
\nsalvation of the earth and its
\npeople. <\/p>\n

374
\n00:22:22,100 –> 00:22:26,500
\nSo then there’s the Paradox of
\nVengeance being there in Esau in<\/p>\n

375
\n00:22:26,500 –> 00:22:29,500
\nthe form of comfort.
\nHow is there any comfort in <\/p>\n

376
\n00:22:29,500 –> 00:22:34,800
\nvengeance?
\nThis is where this comes up and <\/p>\n

377
\n00:22:34,800 –> 00:22:38,600
\nthe words of Esau her older son
\nback as older, son, we’re told <\/p>\n

378
\n00:22:38,600 –> 00:22:40,500
\nto Rebecca.
\nSo somebody came and they said, <\/p>\n

379
\n00:22:40,500 –> 00:22:43,300
\nthat’s what he saw said.
\nSo she sent and called Jacob, <\/p>\n

380
\n00:22:43,300 –> 00:22:45,100
\nher younger son and said to him,
\nsurely your brother. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:22:45,100 –> 00:22:48,000
\nHe saw Comforts himself
\nconcerning you by intending to <\/p>\n

382
\n00:22:48,000 –> 00:22:51,000
\nkill you while there was nothing
\nrighteous about that. <\/p>\n

383
\n00:22:51,300 –> 00:22:54,700
\nThat was just all about jealousy
\nand the absence of faith and <\/p>\n

384
\n00:22:54,700 –> 00:22:58,900
\nEsau and the trickery of the
\ndeception and the goat skin on <\/p>\n

385
\n00:22:58,900 –> 00:23:02,600
\nhis arm.
\nAnd he saw selling his His <\/p>\n

386
\n00:23:02,600 –> 00:23:05,900
\ninheritance is birthright, which
\nwas embodied in the promises of <\/p>\n

387
\n00:23:05,900 –> 00:23:09,700
\nGod for a bowl of soup and, you
\nknow, all that there’s no <\/p>\n

388
\n00:23:09,700 –> 00:23:11,500
\nrighteousness in Esau’s
\nVengeance. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:23:11,500 –> 00:23:15,800
\nSo, how do you, how do you take
\nthis Paradox that she would use <\/p>\n

390
\n00:23:15,800 –> 00:23:19,700
\nthe word comfort in connection
\nwith his Vengeance and make it <\/p>\n

391
\n00:23:19,700 –> 00:23:21,700
\nand turn it into a scriptural
\nprinciple? <\/p>\n

392
\n00:23:21,700 –> 00:23:24,400
\nI would you do that?
\nWell, here’s how you do it. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:23:25,200 –> 00:23:27,700
\nLook at how in righteousness
\nJustice actually provides <\/p>\n

394
\n00:23:27,700 –> 00:23:29,500
\nComfort.
\nBecause what Esau was looking <\/p>\n

395
\n00:23:29,500 –> 00:23:32,400
\nfor with Justice, however,
\nperverse in his ark? <\/p>\n

396
\n00:23:32,800 –> 00:23:36,100
\nIt’s still Justice.
\nWhen he said, when Jesus says <\/p>\n

397
\n00:23:36,100 –> 00:23:39,100
\nthis G, this is speaking of
\nJesus in Isaiah and he quoted <\/p>\n

398
\n00:23:39,100 –> 00:23:42,700
\nthis of himself, the spirit of
\nthe Lord, God is upon me because<\/p>\n

399
\n00:23:42,700 –> 00:23:45,100
\nthe Lord has anointed me to
\npreach Good Tidings, unto the <\/p>\n

400
\n00:23:45,100 –> 00:23:47,600
\nmeat.
\nSo there’s good news, that’s <\/p>\n

401
\n00:23:47,600 –> 00:23:50,000
\nwhat we’ve been talking about.
\nThe Glad Tidings of the Kingdom <\/p>\n

402
\n00:23:50,800 –> 00:23:53,700
\nto people who are Meek enough to
\nlisten to it and understand in <\/p>\n

403
\n00:23:53,700 –> 00:23:56,200
\nthe honesty of their hearts that
\nthis is for them. <\/p>\n

404
\n00:23:56,600 –> 00:23:58,800
\nHe has sent me to bind up the
\nBrokenhearted. <\/p>\n

405
\n00:23:58,800 –> 00:24:01,700
\nSo, there’s the answer to all
\nthe suffering in the world, why <\/p>\n

406
\n00:24:01,700 –> 00:24:05,500
\nhe is the God of All Comfort,
\nbecause Jesus has been sent to <\/p>\n

407
\n00:24:05,500 –> 00:24:11,000
\nbind up the Brokenhearted, And
\nto proclaim the acceptable year <\/p>\n

408
\n00:24:11,000 –> 00:24:13,100
\nof the Lord.
\nAnd look, what makes that year <\/p>\n

409
\n00:24:13,100 –> 00:24:16,700
\nacceptable.
\nWhat he says next and the day of<\/p>\n

410
\n00:24:16,700 –> 00:24:20,600
\nVengeance of our God.
\nHe doesn’t doesn’t stop there. <\/p>\n

411
\n00:24:20,600 –> 00:24:23,400
\nThere’s the acceptable year of
\nour Lord and he made a reference<\/p>\n

412
\n00:24:23,400 –> 00:24:27,500
\nto himself with that.
\nI’d side of the verse in <\/p>\n

413
\n00:24:27,500 –> 00:24:30,200
\nNazareth and then they throw to
\nthrow him over the cliff for <\/p>\n

414
\n00:24:30,200 –> 00:24:35,000
\nsaying that and then he comes
\nalong and he stopped and Isaiah <\/p>\n

415
\n00:24:35,000 –> 00:24:38,400
\nthat the completion of that
\nthought is the day of Vengeance <\/p>\n

416
\n00:24:38,500 –> 00:24:43,300
\nof our God to comfort all who
\nmourn. <\/p>\n

417
\n00:24:43,400 –> 00:24:46,700
\nIn other words, there’s going to
\nbe a day of recompense. <\/p>\n

418
\n00:24:47,300 –> 00:24:50,800
\nThere’s going to be a Day of
\nReckoning of where the justice <\/p>\n

419
\n00:24:50,800 –> 00:24:54,700
\nof God comes into this world,
\nthrough the judgments of Jesus <\/p>\n

420
\n00:24:55,200 –> 00:24:58,200
\nand takes care of all the
\noppressors, and all those people<\/p>\n

421
\n00:24:58,200 –> 00:25:01,900
\nhave caused the trouble in this
\nworld and wipes them out. <\/p>\n

422
\n00:25:02,500 –> 00:25:05,400
\nAnd that, that will be the
\nremedy of this world and it will<\/p>\n

423
\n00:25:05,400 –> 00:25:09,000
\nComfort this world, you in the
\nsame way that people who watch. <\/p>\n

424
\n00:25:09,100 –> 00:25:12,500
\nAn execution of some horrible
\nperson that took the innocent <\/p>\n

425
\n00:25:12,500 –> 00:25:16,400
\nmember of their family out of
\ntheir lives when they sit in <\/p>\n

426
\n00:25:16,400 –> 00:25:19,600
\nthat execution there.
\nSome kind of justice that they <\/p>\n

427
\n00:25:19,600 –> 00:25:24,200
\nget from realizing that justice
\nhas been found and met with this<\/p>\n

428
\n00:25:24,200 –> 00:25:28,100
\nperson and they are comforted by
\nit, it’s an execution that <\/p>\n

429
\n00:25:28,100 –> 00:25:31,500
\nComforts them because they know
\nthis person will never harm <\/p>\n

430
\n00:25:31,500 –> 00:25:34,000
\nanyone else.
\nAgain, the same thing will be <\/p>\n

431
\n00:25:34,000 –> 00:25:35,900
\ntrue of the oppressors of this
\nworld. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:25:35,900 –> 00:25:39,000
\nThe people who make the wars,
\nthe people who caused all the <\/p>\n

433
\n00:25:39,200 –> 00:25:42,900
\nHorrible things to happen in the
\nviciousness of their violence, <\/p>\n

434
\n00:25:42,900 –> 00:25:46,300
\nin the noise of their violence,
\nit will be a great comfort. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:25:46,300 –> 00:25:49,500
\nAll the people have suffered at
\nthe hands of these, evil men to <\/p>\n

436
\n00:25:49,500 –> 00:25:50,800
\nknow that they have been dealt
\nwith. <\/p>\n

437
\n00:25:50,800 –> 00:25:55,800
\nBy God, that Justice will have
\nbeen served in that time, that’s<\/p>\n

438
\n00:25:55,800 –> 00:25:57,800
\nthe resolution of Vengeance, he
\nComfort. <\/p>\n

439
\n00:25:59,000 –> 00:26:01,400
\nBut what happens when Comfort is
\nneeded? <\/p>\n

440
\n00:26:01,500 –> 00:26:04,000
\nAnd it’s the last thing that is
\nfound you just, it’s just <\/p>\n

441
\n00:26:04,000 –> 00:26:08,100
\ndoesn’t seem to be there where
\neven hope doesn’t address the <\/p>\n

442
\n00:26:08,100 –> 00:26:10,300
\nsorrow.
\nThat is so deep. <\/p>\n

443
\n00:26:10,300 –> 00:26:13,400
\nIn the Affliction, when sorrow
\noverwhelms comfort. <\/p>\n

444
\n00:26:14,500 –> 00:26:17,900
\nGod understands, but when you
\nfeel this way, his understanding<\/p>\n

445
\n00:26:17,900 –> 00:26:22,000
\ndoesn’t even have knowing that
\nhe understands doesn’t help. <\/p>\n

446
\n00:26:22,000 –> 00:26:25,900
\nI mean, it should help it kind
\nof applies to the intellect and <\/p>\n

447
\n00:26:25,900 –> 00:26:28,700
\nlater on maybe it helps.
\nBut not any media sense. <\/p>\n

448
\n00:26:29,300 –> 00:26:31,700
\nThis comes through in the words
\nof Jeremiah, when he said, when <\/p>\n

449
\n00:26:31,700 –> 00:26:34,400
\nI would comfort myself against
\nsorrow, my heart is faint within<\/p>\n

450
\n00:26:34,400 –> 00:26:37,200
\nme.
\nIt also comes through in the <\/p>\n

451
\n00:26:37,200 –> 00:26:41,300
\nPsalms where David says, I cry
\naloud to God, and he will hear <\/p>\n

452
\n00:26:41,300 –> 00:26:44,100
\nme.
\nSo, David knew that God heard <\/p>\n

453
\n00:26:44,300 –> 00:26:46,600
\nIt’s prayer.
\nBut if he hears the prayer, <\/p>\n

454
\n00:26:46,900 –> 00:26:48,400
\nwhere’s the comfort?
\nIs this? <\/p>\n

455
\n00:26:48,400 –> 00:26:51,000
\nThe idea here?
\nBecause he says, I sought the <\/p>\n

456
\n00:26:51,008 –> 00:26:53,800
\nLord in my day of trouble and I
\nrefuse to be comforted. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:26:55,700 –> 00:27:01,200
\nSometimes Comfort is only found
\nin hope when there is nothing <\/p>\n

458
\n00:27:01,200 –> 00:27:06,500
\nleft to bring Comfort into your
\nheart when your heart is broken.<\/p>\n

459
\n00:27:08,200 –> 00:27:11,500
\nHope is the only thing that can
\nenter in as comfort. <\/p>\n

460
\n00:27:11,700 –> 00:27:14,600
\nAnd the issue the issue that
\npeople have with hope is it <\/p>\n

461
\n00:27:14,600 –> 00:27:19,100
\ndoesn’t take the misery away but
\nwhat hope does do as we’ve said,<\/p>\n

462
\n00:27:19,800 –> 00:27:24,700
\nrepeatedly in this whole series,
\nis it offers strength to endure <\/p>\n

463
\n00:27:25,300 –> 00:27:29,100
\nthrough the Affliction and that
\nthen converts into a comfort? <\/p>\n

464
\n00:27:29,100 –> 00:27:31,700
\nThat’s not the same kind of
\ncomfort as natural comfort. <\/p>\n

465
\n00:27:34,100 –> 00:27:37,100
\nAnd then there’s if God is
\nsilent, Jesus said, ask and you <\/p>\n

466
\n00:27:37,100 –> 00:27:41,700
\nwill receive seems like a
\npromise that applies to all <\/p>\n

467
\n00:27:41,700 –> 00:27:45,400
\nprayer but the answer turns out
\nto be something entirely <\/p>\n

468
\n00:27:45,400 –> 00:27:48,300
\ndifferent, you pray for
\nprotection and all you get is a <\/p>\n

469
\n00:27:48,400 –> 00:27:52,500
\nfatal accident.
\nSo the principle is this, that <\/p>\n

470
\n00:27:52,900 –> 00:27:57,100
\nGod hears prayer.
\nI’ma show you why I say this, <\/p>\n

471
\n00:27:57,500 –> 00:27:59,700
\nbut he’s not the servant of your
\nprayer. <\/p>\n

472
\n00:28:02,000 –> 00:28:05,400
\nGod is a mighty God.
\nHe stands as a Supreme Being of <\/p>\n

473
\n00:28:05,400 –> 00:28:09,700
\nthis universe and he doesn’t,
\nhe’s not there to serve our <\/p>\n

474
\n00:28:09,700 –> 00:28:11,300
\nprayers.
\nThat is not his purpose. <\/p>\n

475
\n00:28:11,300 –> 00:28:14,300
\nIt’s not the purpose of prayer.
\nHe’s not the servant about <\/p>\n

476
\n00:28:14,300 –> 00:28:17,900
\nprayers.
\nEven Jesus, the son of God. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:28:18,400 –> 00:28:20,600
\nThis guileless soul is perfect
\nman. <\/p>\n

478
\n00:28:22,200 –> 00:28:25,100
\nReceive different answers from
\nhis prayers. <\/p>\n

479
\n00:28:25,700 –> 00:28:29,400
\nThis is the account of that.
\nAnd he went a little further and<\/p>\n

480
\n00:28:29,400 –> 00:28:33,500
\nfell on his face and prayed.
\nSaying, O my father. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:28:33,500 –> 00:28:36,700
\nIf it is possible, let this cup
\npass from me. <\/p>\n

482
\n00:28:38,400 –> 00:28:42,700
\nNevertheless not as I will, but
\nas thou will, then he went on to<\/p>\n

483
\n00:28:42,700 –> 00:28:45,000
\nhis crucifixion.
\nHe went on to the horrible <\/p>\n

484
\n00:28:45,000 –> 00:28:48,000
\ntorture of being nailed to a
\ncross first, being beaten to a <\/p>\n

485
\n00:28:48,000 –> 00:28:51,900
\npulp, all the energy drained
\nfrom him, carrying the cross <\/p>\n

486
\n00:28:51,900 –> 00:28:55,300
\nacross, across town falling
\nunder his weight. <\/p>\n

487
\n00:28:55,900 –> 00:28:59,600
\nHaving Cyrene Simon of Cyrene,
\npick it up for him, taken to the<\/p>\n

488
\n00:28:59,600 –> 00:29:02,700
\nplace where he laid himself down
\nupon that cross. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:29:03,000 –> 00:29:06,100
\nThey went drove nails through
\nhis hands and through his feet <\/p>\n

490
\n00:29:06,700 –> 00:29:09,800
\nand you understood what he was
\nDoing he prayed that it wouldn’t<\/p>\n

491
\n00:29:09,800 –> 00:29:13,800
\nhappen but now the very thing,
\nhe prayed against his happening <\/p>\n

492
\n00:29:13,800 –> 00:29:17,200
\nto him.
\nDoes does this not show that God<\/p>\n

493
\n00:29:17,200 –> 00:29:22,800
\nis not the servant of prayer?
\nGod serves his purpose and his <\/p>\n

494
\n00:29:22,800 –> 00:29:26,300
\npurpose, involves all the things
\nthat we may not understand that.<\/p>\n

495
\n00:29:26,300 –> 00:29:29,400
\nWe understand in the first place
\nthat we may not understand in <\/p>\n

496
\n00:29:29,400 –> 00:29:33,500
\nour relationship with God.
\nIn other words, our prayers <\/p>\n

497
\n00:29:33,500 –> 00:29:38,100
\ndon’t control.
\nGod God controls our prayers and<\/p>\n

498
\n00:29:38,100 –> 00:29:41,700
\ntheir answers.
\nHe’s in total control as he was <\/p>\n

499
\n00:29:41,800 –> 00:29:45,200
\nwith the Lord Jesus Christ.
\nAnd then there’s the question of<\/p>\n

500
\n00:29:45,200 –> 00:29:48,000
\nthe Angel of the Lord.
\nThis camping around us and <\/p>\n

501
\n00:29:48,400 –> 00:29:52,000
\nshould be delivering us.
\nThat’s the idea we asked to be <\/p>\n

502
\n00:29:52,000 –> 00:29:55,400
\ndelivered from Evil.
\nIt even in the Lord’s Prayer. <\/p>\n

503
\n00:29:55,400 –> 00:29:58,100
\nJesus said, pray like this lead
\nme not into temptation and <\/p>\n

504
\n00:29:58,100 –> 00:30:02,900
\nDeliver Us from Evil, right?
\nSo we think that For a <\/p>\n

505
\n00:30:02,900 –> 00:30:05,700
\ncorrelates to the promise that
\nthe angel of the Lord encamps <\/p>\n

506
\n00:30:05,700 –> 00:30:09,100
\naround them that fear him.
\nSo that’s the Paradox is what <\/p>\n

507
\n00:30:09,100 –> 00:30:11,300
\nhappens when that didn’t appear
\nto be the case. <\/p>\n

508
\n00:30:12,400 –> 00:30:14,600
\nWell, let’s look at this a
\nlittle bit more closely. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:30:15,000 –> 00:30:17,500
\nThere’s the verse the angel of
\nthe Lord encamps around all who <\/p>\n

510
\n00:30:17,500 –> 00:30:21,200
\nfear Him and delivers them.
\nThat seems to be straightforward<\/p>\n

511
\n00:30:21,200 –> 00:30:22,700
\nenough.
\nDoes the bible mean what it says<\/p>\n

512
\n00:30:22,700 –> 00:30:25,700
\nor is God you know, kind of like
\nplaying with us with words, then<\/p>\n

513
\n00:30:25,700 –> 00:30:28,900
\nreally keep his word.
\nWell, if it depends on the <\/p>\n

514
\n00:30:28,900 –> 00:30:30,800
\nmeaning of the word,
\nDeliverance, the answer to this <\/p>\n

515
\n00:30:30,800 –> 00:30:33,800
\nParadox.
\nIf we think delivers means it <\/p>\n

516
\n00:30:33,800 –> 00:30:36,400
\nprevents it from happening,
\nthat’s one outcome. <\/p>\n

517
\n00:30:36,600 –> 00:30:40,800
\nBut if Deliverance actually
\nmeans to arm us to fortify us, <\/p>\n

518
\n00:30:40,800 –> 00:30:45,300
\nour hearts when they are broken
\nto equip us with what is <\/p>\n

519
\n00:30:45,300 –> 00:30:48,600
\nnecessary to withstand the
\nweight of this burden to <\/p>\n

520
\n00:30:48,600 –> 00:30:53,400
\nstrengthen Us in the He’s of a
\nhorrible weakness and to prepare<\/p>\n

521
\n00:30:53,400 –> 00:31:00,700
\nus even in advance, and for the
\noutcome of a tragedy, then, the <\/p>\n

522
\n00:31:00,700 –> 00:31:03,400
\nDeliverance that is offered by
\nthe angel of the Lord is <\/p>\n

523
\n00:31:03,400 –> 00:31:05,100
\ndifferent.
\nLet’s see if we can find an <\/p>\n

524
\n00:31:05,100 –> 00:31:09,200
\nexample of this.
\nHow Angels, provide Deliverance <\/p>\n

525
\n00:31:09,900 –> 00:31:12,400
\nbest place to look is in the
\nLife of Christ. <\/p>\n

526
\n00:31:13,000 –> 00:31:15,300
\nHere’s a promise that was made
\nEames. <\/p>\n

527
\n00:31:15,500 –> 00:31:18,800
\nEven seems to be more clear than
\nthe one we were just looking at <\/p>\n

528
\n00:31:18,800 –> 00:31:21,400
\nabout.
\nGeneral Angelic protection. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:31:22,400 –> 00:31:24,500
\nThis is what was said of Christ
\nand it came up in the <\/p>\n

530
\n00:31:24,508 –> 00:31:27,000
\nwilderness.
\nA thousand may fall at your side<\/p>\n

531
\n00:31:27,000 –> 00:31:29,600
\nand ten thousand at your right
\nhand, but it shall not come near<\/p>\n

532
\n00:31:29,600 –> 00:31:30,800
\nyou really.
\nIs that what happened in the <\/p>\n

533
\n00:31:30,808 –> 00:31:32,500
\ncrucifixion?
\nIs that the, what was that? <\/p>\n

534
\n00:31:32,500 –> 00:31:36,100
\nHis exchange with the Pharisees?
\nNo evil shall befall you. <\/p>\n

535
\n00:31:36,100 –> 00:31:38,500
\nWould you say that of reading
\nthe account of Jesus? <\/p>\n

536
\n00:31:38,500 –> 00:31:40,800
\nWas it not evil?
\nDid the gospel not break his <\/p>\n

537
\n00:31:40,800 –> 00:31:42,700
\nheart?
\nDid he not die of a broken <\/p>\n

538
\n00:31:42,700 –> 00:31:44,100
\nheart?
\nHow could he say that? <\/p>\n

539
\n00:31:44,100 –> 00:31:46,600
\nNo evil would befall him.
\nJesus knew this was true. <\/p>\n

540
\n00:31:46,900 –> 00:31:48,900
\nHow do you make it true?
\nHow do you resolve the ferret? <\/p>\n

541
\n00:31:48,900 –> 00:31:52,000
\nThe paradox.
\nNor shall any plague come near <\/p>\n

542
\n00:31:52,000 –> 00:31:53,200
\nyou.
\nYour dwelling. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:31:53,200 –> 00:31:55,900
\nFor he shall give his angels
\ncharge over you to keep you in. <\/p>\n

544
\n00:31:55,900 –> 00:31:59,800
\nAll your ways in their hands.
\nThey shall bear you up. <\/p>\n

545
\n00:31:59,900 –> 00:32:02,800
\nLest you dash your foot against
\na stone when he was in the <\/p>\n

546
\n00:32:02,800 –> 00:32:05,300
\nwilderness.
\nThis very verse came up as a <\/p>\n

547
\n00:32:05,300 –> 00:32:10,300
\nTemptation because it didn’t
\nseem to be occurring quite like <\/p>\n

548
\n00:32:10,300 –> 00:32:12,900
\nthis.
\nThis sounds like bull protection<\/p>\n

549
\n00:32:13,300 –> 00:32:14,800
\nand yet, where’s the full
\nprotection? <\/p>\n

550
\n00:32:14,800 –> 00:32:18,300
\nIf you have nothing but
\naccusation false accusation men <\/p>\n

551
\n00:32:18,300 –> 00:32:21,200
\nwho are seeking to destroy you
\npeople that First and you and in<\/p>\n

552
\n00:32:21,200 –> 00:32:25,400
\nthe end, your persecution and
\ncrucifixion die like a common <\/p>\n

553
\n00:32:25,400 –> 00:32:28,300
\ncriminal.
\nSo he knew that, and this was a <\/p>\n

554
\n00:32:28,300 –> 00:32:33,000
\nlooming, temptation to Jesus.
\nSo, how where is the Angel of <\/p>\n

555
\n00:32:33,000 –> 00:32:35,900
\nthe Lord and all this, that
\nwould encamp around him and <\/p>\n

556
\n00:32:35,900 –> 00:32:38,500
\ndeliver him?
\nHow was Jesus delivered? <\/p>\n

557
\n00:32:38,500 –> 00:32:44,500
\nWell, He was visited by Angels,
\nboth in the wilderness and in <\/p>\n

558
\n00:32:44,500 –> 00:32:47,200
\nthe garden.
\nThis is how they delivered him <\/p>\n

559
\n00:32:48,100 –> 00:32:49,800
\nin the wilderness.
\nThen the devil left, him <\/p>\n

560
\n00:32:50,200 –> 00:32:54,000
\nTemptations were gone.
\nAnd immediately Angels Came. <\/p>\n

561
\n00:32:55,400 –> 00:32:59,100
\nAnd began to serve him.
\nThey made food for him. <\/p>\n

562
\n00:33:00,200 –> 00:33:03,400
\nI think they hugged him, they
\nsat down, they said sit down. <\/p>\n

563
\n00:33:03,400 –> 00:33:08,100
\nLet’s let’s talk about all this.
\nNow they served him they helped <\/p>\n

564
\n00:33:08,100 –> 00:33:10,900
\nhim understand the meaning of
\nhis Temptations. <\/p>\n

565
\n00:33:11,000 –> 00:33:14,200
\nThey took them a little bit
\nfurther and as a result of that <\/p>\n

566
\n00:33:14,500 –> 00:33:18,600
\nintercourse, I think his
\nTemptations departed from them. <\/p>\n

567
\n00:33:18,600 –> 00:33:21,700
\nThey didn’t come back until the
\ngarden and in the garden he’s <\/p>\n

568
\n00:33:21,700 –> 00:33:24,800
\ngot the worst temptation of all,
\nhe doesn’t want this to happen. <\/p>\n

569
\n00:33:24,900 –> 00:33:26,200
\nHe knows exactly what’s going to
\nhappen. <\/p>\n

570
\n00:33:26,200 –> 00:33:28,700
\nHe had read Psalm 22 and They’re
\n53. <\/p>\n

571
\n00:33:28,700 –> 00:33:33,000
\nHe knew that he was going to be
\nreduced to the basest of <\/p>\n

572
\n00:33:33,000 –> 00:33:35,000
\nconditions in the hatred of
\nevil. <\/p>\n

573
\n00:33:35,000 –> 00:33:39,400
\nMen Bulls of Bashan, dogs
\nsurrounding him spitting at him,<\/p>\n

574
\n00:33:39,600 –> 00:33:43,600
\ncursing him, mocking, him
\nkilling, and glad to do it. <\/p>\n

575
\n00:33:43,800 –> 00:33:47,300
\nHappy to destroy this innocent
\nloving young man. <\/p>\n

576
\n00:33:50,600 –> 00:33:54,500
\nBut they were there, these
\nangels of the Lord and they <\/p>\n

577
\n00:33:54,500 –> 00:33:59,000
\ndelivered him. saying father, if
\nthou be willing remove this cup <\/p>\n

578
\n00:33:59,000 –> 00:34:04,700
\nfrom me, Nevertheless not my
\nwill but thine be done. <\/p>\n

579
\n00:34:05,400 –> 00:34:07,400
\nThere appeared, an angel unto
\nhim from Heaven. <\/p>\n

580
\n00:34:07,400 –> 00:34:11,199
\nStrengthening him angel came
\ndown, probably put his arm <\/p>\n

581
\n00:34:11,199 –> 00:34:12,600
\naround, may have been the same
\none. <\/p>\n

582
\n00:34:12,600 –> 00:34:15,100
\nHe would have recognized him for
\nthat time in the desert. <\/p>\n

583
\n00:34:15,900 –> 00:34:19,900
\nAnd he said something to him
\nthat strengthened him, maybe <\/p>\n

584
\n00:34:19,900 –> 00:34:23,000
\njust sat with him and maybe he
\ntook his hand in his. <\/p>\n

585
\n00:34:24,100 –> 00:34:27,900
\nMaybe he hugged him.
\nAnd he said it’s almost done but<\/p>\n

586
\n00:34:27,900 –> 00:34:31,100
\nthink of what you will do, if
\nyou if you go through with this <\/p>\n

587
\n00:34:31,400 –> 00:34:33,800
\nthink of it, you know the
\nprophecies. <\/p>\n

588
\n00:34:34,199 –> 00:34:36,000
\nYou know what, God’s purpose is
\nin this. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:34:36,800 –> 00:34:40,300
\nLet’s let’s have the strength to
\ngo through there. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:34:40,300 –> 00:34:43,400
\nHe was comforted because the
\nangel of the Lord was in camping<\/p>\n

591
\n00:34:43,400 –> 00:34:46,699
\nright around him and did deliver
\nhim, but he didn’t take the <\/p>\n

592
\n00:34:46,699 –> 00:34:49,900
\ncrucifixion away.
\nThat’s the big point for you. <\/p>\n

593
\n00:34:50,000 –> 00:34:53,400
\nAnd your Affliction, he will be,
\ncomforted, the angel of the Lord<\/p>\n

594
\n00:34:53,400 –> 00:34:56,600
\nwill be there.
\nSo who is this Angel? <\/p>\n

595
\n00:34:56,600 –> 00:34:59,800
\nWe would say, well, that’s fine
\nfor Jesus, we know an angel <\/p>\n

596
\n00:34:59,800 –> 00:35:02,400
\nvisit him, he’s the son of God,
\nthere’s these and Angelic <\/p>\n

597
\n00:35:02,400 –> 00:35:06,300
\nvisitations their literal but
\ndon’t recall ever seeing an <\/p>\n

598
\n00:35:06,300 –> 00:35:09,200
\nangel of the Lord come and visit
\nme when I needed, you know, to <\/p>\n

599
\n00:35:09,200 –> 00:35:11,900
\nhear have a conversation with an
\nAngel. <\/p>\n

600
\n00:35:13,000 –> 00:35:14,700
\nDoesn’t happen that way with us,
\ndoes it? <\/p>\n

601
\n00:35:15,700 –> 00:35:20,700
\nHow does it happen with us?
\nWell, the several things we can <\/p>\n

602
\n00:35:20,700 –> 00:35:22,800
\nthink about to resolve this
\nparticular card. <\/p>\n

603
\n00:35:22,800 –> 00:35:24,600
\nI think this is the biggest
\nParadox of all. <\/p>\n

604
\n00:35:25,700 –> 00:35:29,000
\nIs that high priest?
\nThere’s an angel in heaven. <\/p>\n

605
\n00:35:29,000 –> 00:35:32,800
\nWho said, I will be with.
\nYou always, I’ll be with you <\/p>\n

606
\n00:35:32,800 –> 00:35:35,700
\nright to the end.
\nI’ll be near to you. <\/p>\n

607
\n00:35:36,700 –> 00:35:39,700
\nI’ll be so near that.
\nWhen you say a prayer, I will be<\/p>\n

608
\n00:35:39,700 –> 00:35:42,600
\nthe intermediary between you and
\nGod, and your prayers will <\/p>\n

609
\n00:35:42,600 –> 00:35:45,600
\nalways be her.
\nI know how you feel. <\/p>\n

610
\n00:35:45,600 –> 00:35:47,800
\nI was touched with the feeling
\nof your infirmities. <\/p>\n

611
\n00:35:48,500 –> 00:35:53,100
\nI’m there for you.
\nSurely, they are my people. <\/p>\n

612
\n00:35:53,100 –> 00:35:58,500
\nIsaiah says speaking.
\nOn the surface about Israel in <\/p>\n

613
\n00:35:58,500 –> 00:36:00,100
\nthe angel that led them through
\nthe Wilderness. <\/p>\n

614
\n00:36:00,100 –> 00:36:04,400
\nBut prophetically because of its
\ncontext, and Isaiah 63 of Jesus <\/p>\n

615
\n00:36:04,800 –> 00:36:08,900
\nand his high priesthood.
\nThey are my people children who <\/p>\n

616
\n00:36:08,900 –> 00:36:11,900
\nwill not lie in all their
\nAffliction, he was afflicted in <\/p>\n

617
\n00:36:11,900 –> 00:36:13,800
\nthe angel of his presence.
\nSave them. <\/p>\n

618
\n00:36:13,800 –> 00:36:16,300
\nSo let’s translate this into a
\nprophecy. <\/p>\n

619
\n00:36:18,600 –> 00:36:22,300
\nWho are his people, this high
\npriest, this would people like <\/p>\n

620
\n00:36:22,300 –> 00:36:23,700
\nyou and me who loved him for
\nwhat? <\/p>\n

621
\n00:36:23,700 –> 00:36:26,600
\nHe know he did for us who
\ndedicate Our Lives to make a <\/p>\n

622
\n00:36:26,607 –> 00:36:29,300
\npublic confession.
\nWe get baptized show everybody. <\/p>\n

623
\n00:36:29,300 –> 00:36:31,900
\nWe this is the turning point of
\nour lives were turning it over <\/p>\n

624
\n00:36:31,900 –> 00:36:35,300
\nto Jesus.
\nThose are his people, these are <\/p>\n

625
\n00:36:35,300 –> 00:36:38,300
\nchildren who will not lie and
\nthey won’t lie because they love<\/p>\n

626
\n00:36:38,300 –> 00:36:41,100
\nthe truth.
\nIf it’s true, they’re all for <\/p>\n

627
\n00:36:41,100 –> 00:36:42,700
\nit.
\nIf it’s alive and won’t have it.<\/p>\n

628
\n00:36:45,000 –> 00:36:51,200
\nthe children are and the way is
\nstrewn with, with obstacles with<\/p>\n

629
\n00:36:51,300 –> 00:36:57,400
\nafflictions in all their
\naffliction, He was afflicted, <\/p>\n

630
\n00:36:58,200 –> 00:37:02,100
\nhigh priest.
\nAnd the angel of his presence <\/p>\n

631
\n00:37:02,100 –> 00:37:04,800
\nsaved them.
\nWho’s the angel of his presence <\/p>\n

632
\n00:37:04,900 –> 00:37:07,300
\nfor us?
\nNow, if it’s not the comforter, <\/p>\n

633
\n00:37:08,300 –> 00:37:10,300
\nit’s a high priest in heaven.
\nWho is there? <\/p>\n

634
\n00:37:10,600 –> 00:37:13,800
\nImmediately there to provide
\nwhat is needed in the form of <\/p>\n

635
\n00:37:13,800 –> 00:37:17,900
\nstrength as an angel that in
\ncamps around us and delivers us <\/p>\n

636
\n00:37:18,300 –> 00:37:21,200
\nwith hope in his love and in his
\npity? <\/p>\n

637
\n00:37:21,800 –> 00:37:24,600
\nHe redeemed them.
\nSpeaking of things that haven’t <\/p>\n

638
\n00:37:24,600 –> 00:37:28,600
\nhappened yet as though they were
\nthis is you and me in his love <\/p>\n

639
\n00:37:28,800 –> 00:37:33,000
\nand in his pity.
\nHe redeemed them and he bore <\/p>\n

640
\n00:37:33,000 –> 00:37:37,700
\nthem and he carried them all the
\ndays of old and he delivered <\/p>\n

641
\n00:37:37,700 –> 00:37:42,000
\nthem into the kingdom.
\nJust like a child is born from <\/p>\n

642
\n00:37:42,000 –> 00:37:46,300
\nthe womb, we have the hope of
\nbeing born in the spirit of God <\/p>\n

643
\n00:37:46,500 –> 00:37:49,800
\ninto the kingdom.
\nThere’s another aspect to <\/p>\n

644
\n00:37:49,808 –> 00:37:53,000
\nAngelic encampment and that is,
\nyou may not have realized this, <\/p>\n

645
\n00:37:53,000 –> 00:37:54,800
\nbut you might be someone’s
\nAngel. <\/p>\n

646
\n00:37:55,800 –> 00:37:59,100
\nYou could be an elder and
\nEcclesia, you could be appear, <\/p>\n

647
\n00:37:59,100 –> 00:38:02,600
\nyou could be a young person.
\nYou could find somebody whose <\/p>\n

648
\n00:38:02,600 –> 00:38:05,400
\nheart is totally broken.
\nYou could find somebody who <\/p>\n

649
\n00:38:05,400 –> 00:38:07,700
\nreally needs God but they don’t
\nknow how to find him. <\/p>\n

650
\n00:38:07,700 –> 00:38:11,100
\nThey didn’t know, they know much
\nabout the Bible and you are <\/p>\n

651
\n00:38:11,100 –> 00:38:14,800
\ntheir messenger.
\nBut in Revelation it is very <\/p>\n

652
\n00:38:14,800 –> 00:38:18,400
\nclear that the Elders of the
\nchurches were referred to as <\/p>\n

653
\n00:38:18,500 –> 00:38:21,500
\nAngels, because they were
\nMessengers who were carrying the<\/p>\n

654
\n00:38:21,500 –> 00:38:27,800
\nmessage of God to the fold.
\nJesus fold in his household. <\/p>\n

655
\n00:38:29,500 –> 00:38:32,100
\nSo their messengers of Hope and
\nstrength, and that’s what makes <\/p>\n

656
\n00:38:32,100 –> 00:38:36,300
\nthem Angels think about it.
\nI know what happened with Amy <\/p>\n

657
\n00:38:36,900 –> 00:38:40,300
\nand with Dawn and with the other
\nsister, who was abused in our <\/p>\n

658
\n00:38:40,300 –> 00:38:43,800
\nEcclesia, there were Angels
\nthere they take, they had no <\/p>\n

659
\n00:38:43,800 –> 00:38:46,600
\nwings, they weren’t from Heaven,
\nthey didn’t appear and <\/p>\n

660
\n00:38:46,600 –> 00:38:50,900
\ndisappear.
\nThey came to her and Josh, and <\/p>\n

661
\n00:38:50,900 –> 00:38:55,900
\nthey put their arms around her.
\nThey they, they spoke to her. <\/p>\n

662
\n00:38:57,700 –> 00:39:01,100
\nWith words of assurance with
\nwords of hope, they understood <\/p>\n

663
\n00:39:01,100 –> 00:39:05,800
\nsometimes, they just sat and
\ncried with her, whatever it was,<\/p>\n

664
\n00:39:06,600 –> 00:39:12,400
\nit was messengers of Hope coming
\nto these people in the form of <\/p>\n

665
\n00:39:12,400 –> 00:39:14,800
\npeople who understood the
\nmessage. <\/p>\n

666
\n00:39:15,200 –> 00:39:18,200
\nSo don’t ever think that you may
\nnot be the angel. <\/p>\n

667
\n00:39:18,200 –> 00:39:20,800
\nMany have met under to
\nentertained angels, unawares. <\/p>\n

668
\n00:39:21,500 –> 00:39:24,400
\nDid you ever think that those
\nangels might not be the kind <\/p>\n

669
\n00:39:24,400 –> 00:39:26,000
\nfrom Heaven?
\nThey might be the kind from <\/p>\n

670
\n00:39:26,000 –> 00:39:28,800
\nEarth.
\nYou’re talking to somebody about<\/p>\n

671
\n00:39:28,800 –> 00:39:32,300
\nthe kingdom there, in the
\ncompany of a messenger who is <\/p>\n

672
\n00:39:32,300 –> 00:39:37,100
\nlike an angel, they’re hearing
\nwords of Salvation, they’re not <\/p>\n

673
\n00:39:37,100 –> 00:39:40,900
\naware of it, they don’t know
\nthat this messenger that is, you<\/p>\n

674
\n00:39:42,100 –> 00:39:46,900
\nare this angel of Truth.
\nThe point is that Angels <\/p>\n

675
\n00:39:47,100 –> 00:39:49,900
\nstrengthen hope but they don’t
\nprevent trials. <\/p>\n

676
\n00:39:50,400 –> 00:39:53,500
\nSo in conclusion, let’s look at
\nthe Restoration in the Kingdom. <\/p>\n

677
\n00:39:54,700 –> 00:39:59,700
\nWe have this absolute Assurance
\nfrom God That we saw in this <\/p>\n

678
\n00:39:59,700 –> 00:40:05,400
\nParadox of Noah, there’s an
\nEverlasting Covenant of life and<\/p>\n

679
\n00:40:05,400 –> 00:40:08,400
\npeace.
\nIf you take everything out of <\/p>\n

680
\n00:40:08,500 –> 00:40:13,000
\nall, all the details, the
\nparticulars that are in volume <\/p>\n

681
\n00:40:13,000 –> 00:40:16,800
\ntoo much to take in at once and
\nsimplify everything that we’ve <\/p>\n

682
\n00:40:16,800 –> 00:40:21,300
\ntalked about down to this idea.
\nWhat do I want in my life? <\/p>\n

683
\n00:40:21,900 –> 00:40:24,200
\nI know it’s not going to be
\nperfect. <\/p>\n

684
\n00:40:24,200 –> 00:40:25,900
\nAll the way through, this is
\ngoing to be trials and <\/p>\n

685
\n00:40:25,900 –> 00:40:29,200
\ntribulations one.
\nAnother until it’s resolved <\/p>\n

686
\n00:40:29,200 –> 00:40:32,700
\nsomehow in the future.
\nDo I want life? <\/p>\n

687
\n00:40:34,400 –> 00:40:38,900
\nAnd peace because Jesus is the
\nPrince of Peace. <\/p>\n

688
\n00:40:39,900 –> 00:40:45,500
\nHe’s the author of life for you
\nnow because he’s been given all <\/p>\n

689
\n00:40:45,600 –> 00:40:51,300
\nauthority in Heaven and Earth in
\nhis request, his father, for <\/p>\n

690
\n00:40:51,300 –> 00:40:54,900
\nyour life.
\nSo there’s a day of rain and you<\/p>\n

691
\n00:40:54,900 –> 00:40:57,000
\nknow, this is such an
\ninteresting passage, let’s read <\/p>\n

692
\n00:40:57,000 –> 00:40:59,300
\nthis together and just think
\nabout it for a moment in <\/p>\n

693
\n00:40:59,300 –> 00:41:03,300
\nclosing, I saw as it were the
\nappearance of Fire. <\/p>\n

694
\n00:41:04,300 –> 00:41:07,100
\nIn Ezekiel, where Ezekiel is
\nlooking at God’s judgments on <\/p>\n

695
\n00:41:07,100 –> 00:41:12,200
\nthe Earth City to city as Christ
\nand the Saints move in their in <\/p>\n

696
\n00:41:12,200 –> 00:41:16,100
\ntheir miraculous presence across
\nthe face of the Earth, judging <\/p>\n

697
\n00:41:16,100 –> 00:41:18,000
\nthe nation’s, either positively
\nor negatively. <\/p>\n

698
\n00:41:18,000 –> 00:41:20,700
\nHe says, I saw as it were the
\nappearance of environment, had <\/p>\n

699
\n00:41:20,700 –> 00:41:23,800
\nbrightness roundabouts.
\nSo this is the presence of God <\/p>\n

700
\n00:41:24,000 –> 00:41:26,300
\nmanifested in Jesus and the
\nSaints. <\/p>\n

701
\n00:41:27,900 –> 00:41:31,100
\nAs the appearance of a bow that
\nis in the cloud in the day of <\/p>\n

702
\n00:41:31,100 –> 00:41:33,200
\nrain.
\nSo is the appearance of the <\/p>\n

703
\n00:41:33,200 –> 00:41:37,100
\nbrightness round about.
\nThis was the appearance of the <\/p>\n

704
\n00:41:37,100 –> 00:41:40,100
\nlikeness of the glory of the
\nLord. <\/p>\n

705
\n00:41:40,100 –> 00:41:42,800
\nWe know that that the that Glory
\nwill fill the Earth as the <\/p>\n

706
\n00:41:42,800 –> 00:41:45,200
\nwaters cover the sea.
\nBut have you ever thought about <\/p>\n

707
\n00:41:45,200 –> 00:41:48,600
\nwhat that Glory really is?
\nGlory is a beautiful word but <\/p>\n

708
\n00:41:48,600 –> 00:41:52,500
\nit’s just used.
\nSo, cliche akal these days that <\/p>\n

709
\n00:41:52,500 –> 00:41:54,500
\nit’s I think it’s meaning gets
\nlost. <\/p>\n

710
\n00:41:55,200 –> 00:41:58,300
\nThe Lord of hosts.
\nHe is the king of glory, David <\/p>\n

711
\n00:41:58,300 –> 00:42:03,300
\nsays, in Psalm 24, so The glory
\nare the hosts. <\/p>\n

712
\n00:42:04,300 –> 00:42:08,000
\nIf the whole Plan of Salvation
\ninvolves God manifestation in a <\/p>\n

713
\n00:42:08,000 –> 00:42:10,400
\nhost of people, who in the end
\nwill fill the Earth. <\/p>\n

714
\n00:42:10,900 –> 00:42:14,700
\nThose people are his glory,
\nwhich means the Saints are That <\/p>\n

715
\n00:42:14,700 –> 00:42:17,100
\nGlory.
\nSo let’s read this again in the <\/p>\n

716
\n00:42:17,100 –> 00:42:19,100
\nday of rain, when the appear
\nwith the appearance. <\/p>\n

717
\n00:42:19,100 –> 00:42:21,000
\nSo was the appearance of
\nbrightness round about. <\/p>\n

718
\n00:42:21,000 –> 00:42:24,100
\nThis is the Light of Christ
\nfilling the Earth with the <\/p>\n

719
\n00:42:24,100 –> 00:42:26,400
\npromises of God through his
\nCovenant. <\/p>\n

720
\n00:42:26,800 –> 00:42:30,500
\nThis was the appearance of the
\nlikeness of the glory. <\/p>\n

721
\n00:42:31,500 –> 00:42:34,300
\nOf the Lord.
\nSo the likeness is the likeness <\/p>\n

722
\n00:42:34,300 –> 00:42:37,800
\nof Christ, the glory of the
\nLord, are those people who are <\/p>\n

723
\n00:42:37,800 –> 00:42:43,900
\nin his likeness, And the Lord
\nis, I am who I am. <\/p>\n

724
\n00:42:44,000 –> 00:42:50,000
\nI will be manifested in you Who
\nwould walk away from that idea? <\/p>\n

725
\n00:42:51,600 –> 00:42:54,300
\nSo I don’t know what the day of
\nrain is, it may, it may be the <\/p>\n

726
\n00:42:54,300 –> 00:42:57,200
\nday that rains righteousness
\nupon the Earth and causes all <\/p>\n

727
\n00:42:57,200 –> 00:42:59,900
\nthe fruit to grow in the
\nsunshine of Christ’s life. <\/p>\n

728
\n00:43:01,200 –> 00:43:05,200
\nMaybe the rain that puts out the
\nfire of Christ judgments, when <\/p>\n

729
\n00:43:05,200 –> 00:43:08,500
\nthey go from City to city and
\nburn up the ones that were <\/p>\n

730
\n00:43:08,500 –> 00:43:12,300
\nunrighteous like Malachi said,
\nat any rate, this day of rain <\/p>\n

731
\n00:43:12,300 –> 00:43:15,900
\nwill be like a paradoxically
\nlike a morning without clouds. <\/p>\n

732
\n00:43:16,600 –> 00:43:18,700
\nIt will be such a beautiful
\nsunrise. <\/p>\n

733
\n00:43:19,400 –> 00:43:24,200
\nWe will return to Paradise The
\nEarth will be restored every <\/p>\n

734
\n00:43:24,300 –> 00:43:27,300
\nsource of Affliction, every
\nroute that we can suffer from <\/p>\n

735
\n00:43:27,300 –> 00:43:31,400
\nphysical Affliction, emotional
\nAffliction, mental Affliction. <\/p>\n

736
\n00:43:31,400 –> 00:43:35,100
\nSpiritual Affliction will
\nresolve in the comfort of what <\/p>\n

737
\n00:43:35,100 –> 00:43:37,500
\nis restored, the renewal of life
\nin the Kingdom. <\/p>\n

738
\n00:43:38,100 –> 00:43:41,200
\nThere will be recovery from
\nsickness. <\/p>\n

739
\n00:43:41,700 –> 00:43:45,500
\nThere will be true evil of
\ntragic loss when Dominic rises <\/p>\n

740
\n00:43:45,500 –> 00:43:48,100
\nagain and looks into his
\nmother’s eyes, there will be <\/p>\n

741
\n00:43:48,100 –> 00:43:51,600
\nrecompensed, the abusers who
\nmade people miserable Thought <\/p>\n

742
\n00:43:51,600 –> 00:43:54,200
\nthey were getting away with it,
\nbut there’s a day of judgment in<\/p>\n

743
\n00:43:54,200 –> 00:43:56,800
\nfront of them.
\nThere will be reconciliation for<\/p>\n

744
\n00:43:56,800 –> 00:43:58,500
\nall the problems that couldn’t
\nbe resolved. <\/p>\n

745
\n00:43:58,500 –> 00:44:01,300
\nIn marriage that couldn’t be
\nresolved in families, or <\/p>\n

746
\n00:44:01,300 –> 00:44:05,400
\nreligious, or enter a collegial
\nor fellowships or even on a <\/p>\n

747
\n00:44:05,400 –> 00:44:11,700
\nlarger level International
\nirreconcilable differences, in <\/p>\n

748
\n00:44:11,700 –> 00:44:14,900
\nthis case of ideologies and
\ncovetousness. <\/p>\n

749
\n00:44:16,300 –> 00:44:19,200
\nAll of that faces, the
\nrestoration of the kingdom. <\/p>\n

750
\n00:44:19,200 –> 00:44:21,500
\nAnd it will be a highly
\norganized Paradise. <\/p>\n

751
\n00:44:22,500 –> 00:44:27,200
\nNot just Gardens, but a temple,
\na temple of such magnificent, <\/p>\n

752
\n00:44:27,200 –> 00:44:30,200
\nBeauty and such Grandeur in size
\nthat is like a city. <\/p>\n

753
\n00:44:30,900 –> 00:44:34,700
\nAnd the organization in that
\nTemple is just so marvelous to <\/p>\n

754
\n00:44:34,700 –> 00:44:38,800
\nconsider highly organized as the
\nDew of Herman and is the do that<\/p>\n

755
\n00:44:38,800 –> 00:44:42,200
\ndescended upon the mountains of
\nZion for their the Lord <\/p>\n

756
\n00:44:42,200 –> 00:44:46,700
\ncommanded the blessing.
\nEven life forevermore behold <\/p>\n

757
\n00:44:47,400 –> 00:44:50,400
\nbless the Lord.
\nHe’s made all these promises to <\/p>\n

758
\n00:44:50,400 –> 00:44:54,700
\nyou bless him.
\nTake them into your heart and <\/p>\n

759
\n00:44:54,700 –> 00:44:57,200
\nconvert them to a blessing for
\nthe god, that loves you that <\/p>\n

760
\n00:44:57,200 –> 00:44:58,700
\nmuch.
\nAll you Servants of the Lord, <\/p>\n

761
\n00:44:58,700 –> 00:45:02,100
\nwhich by night stand in the
\nhouse of the Lord, lift up your <\/p>\n

762
\n00:45:02,100 –> 00:45:04,700
\nhands in the sanctuary and bless
\nbless the Lord. <\/p>\n

763
\n00:45:05,400 –> 00:45:08,000
\nThe Lord that made Heaven and
\nEarth bless the out of Zion <\/p>\n

764
\n00:45:08,400 –> 00:45:11,100
\npraise, ye the Lord, praise the
\nname of the Lord, praise him <\/p>\n

765
\n00:45:11,100 –> 00:45:14,000
\nbecause that name is your glory.
\nHis glory is in your <\/p>\n

766
\n00:45:14,000 –> 00:45:17,000
\nmanifestation.
\nOh, ye Servants of the Lord. <\/p>\n

767
\n00:45:17,000 –> 00:45:20,300
\nYou stand in the house of the
\nLord in the courts of the House <\/p>\n

768
\n00:45:20,300 –> 00:45:23,100
\nof our God.
\nDid you notice this? <\/p>\n

769
\n00:45:25,000 –> 00:45:28,200
\nDid you see this?
\nWhich by nightstand in the house<\/p>\n

770
\n00:45:28,200 –> 00:45:30,100
\nof the Lord?
\nI don’t know about you, but my <\/p>\n

771
\n00:45:30,100 –> 00:45:33,800
\nunderstanding of people during
\nnighttime is they lay down, they<\/p>\n

772
\n00:45:33,800 –> 00:45:36,100
\nfall asleep.
\nSo something about these people <\/p>\n

773
\n00:45:36,100 –> 00:45:39,900
\nthat doesn’t appear to need to
\nlay down there Standing By Night<\/p>\n

774
\n00:45:40,000 –> 00:45:42,900
\nIn The House of Lord.
\nMy own idea about this is I’m <\/p>\n

775
\n00:45:42,900 –> 00:45:45,300
\nhope, this is really it, but
\nthat there are people all over <\/p>\n

776
\n00:45:45,300 –> 00:45:48,300
\nthe world who are now in Mortal
\nwho are governing in all the <\/p>\n

777
\n00:45:48,300 –> 00:45:51,600
\nprovinces of the earth who
\nreturned to the temple by night <\/p>\n

778
\n00:45:51,600 –> 00:45:53,100
\nin.
\nWhen it’s nighttime in their <\/p>\n

779
\n00:45:53,100 –> 00:45:56,500
\narea and there they meet in the
\ninner portion they are tables <\/p>\n

780
\n00:45:56,500 –> 00:45:58,800
\nare set.
\nThey have meals with and they <\/p>\n

781
\n00:45:58,800 –> 00:46:01,500
\ncommune with people like Abraham
\nIsaac and Jacob maybe that’s the<\/p>\n

782
\n00:46:01,500 –> 00:46:04,200
\nrole of the 24 Elders or commute
\nwith each other. <\/p>\n

783
\n00:46:04,200 –> 00:46:06,400
\nI got a problem in Brazil.
\nI got a problem in Norfolk and <\/p>\n

784
\n00:46:06,400 –> 00:46:08,800
\ngot a problem in Pittsburgh.
\nWhat are we going to do to solve<\/p>\n

785
\n00:46:08,800 –> 00:46:11,000
\nthis problem?
\nWell, did you consider this <\/p>\n

786
\n00:46:11,100 –> 00:46:12,100
\nJoseph?
\nWhat would you do? <\/p>\n

787
\n00:46:12,100 –> 00:46:14,200
\nWell, here’s what I would do is
\nwhat I learned in, Egypt, <\/p>\n

788
\n00:46:14,700 –> 00:46:16,100
\nDaniel, what would you do?
\nWell, let me tell you what, I <\/p>\n

789
\n00:46:16,107 –> 00:46:18,500
\nlearned in Babylon, Nehemiah,
\nwhat would you do? <\/p>\n

790
\n00:46:18,500 –> 00:46:20,900
\nI let me tell you, we were
\ntrying to build a wall in that, <\/p>\n

791
\n00:46:20,900 –> 00:46:24,500
\nrestore the Wallen Jerusalem.
\nAll these things are seem to be <\/p>\n

792
\n00:46:24,500 –> 00:46:27,900
\na part of a life in the kingdom
\nand We Stand By Night in the <\/p>\n

793
\n00:46:27,900 –> 00:46:31,400
\nhouse of the Lord.
\nWhen the Lord restored the <\/p>\n

794
\n00:46:31,400 –> 00:46:35,300
\nfortunes of Zion, we were like
\nthose who Dream. <\/p>\n

795
\n00:46:35,500 –> 00:46:39,500
\nIt’s a dream come true.
\nThen our mouth was filled with <\/p>\n

796
\n00:46:39,500 –> 00:46:41,800
\nlaughter, and our tongue, with
\nshouts of Joy. <\/p>\n

797
\n00:46:42,000 –> 00:46:44,500
\nThey said, among the nation’s,
\nthe Lord has done great things <\/p>\n

798
\n00:46:44,500 –> 00:46:47,300
\nfor them.
