\nBrian, thank you for joining us <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:19,300 –> 00:00:21,900

\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,400
\ntaco week to help us get the
\nBible in our daily news feed. <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:26,600 –> 00:00:29,300
\nWe post a new episode of the
\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
\nintro before.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n

\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,300
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:51,200 –> 00:00:54,700
\nHi I’m Justin.
\nThis week’s talk is the third <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:54,700 –> 00:00:57,200
\nout of five in a series by
\nMatthew blew it. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:57,700 –> 00:01:00,900
\nThe premise of the series is
\nthat revelation Is a love letter<\/p>\n

12
\n00:01:00,900 –> 00:01:03,300
\nfrom Jesus.
\nAnd the goal is to meditate on <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:03,300 –> 00:01:07,000
\nsome of the words and symbology
\nused by Jesus without getting <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:07,000 –> 00:01:10,000
\ninto historical or future event
\ninterpretation. <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:11,200 –> 00:01:14,400
\nThis particular class focuses on
\nour identity through. <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:14,400 –> 00:01:18,100
\nJesus also, be sure to look for
\nthe whole series on the good <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:18,100 –> 00:01:20,500
\nchristadelphians talks extended
\npodcast. <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:20,900 –> 00:01:25,800
\nThanks and enjoy listening.
\nWell, good morning everyone. <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:26,000 –> 00:01:27,500
\nGood to see you all this
\nmorning. <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:28,100 –> 00:01:33,000
\nEverybody recovered from their
\ndancing, very impressed in the <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:33,000 –> 00:01:37,000
\nskills you have over here at
\nWest certainly got some of the <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:37,300 –> 00:01:43,700
\nfrontier skills still there in
\nyour blood so great to be here <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:43,700 –> 00:01:45,400
\nand see that.
\nSo we’re going to carry on with <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:45,400 –> 00:01:48,800
\nour meditations and Revelation.
\nAnd what we going to be doing in<\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:48,800 –> 00:01:52,300
\nthe next three sessions is
\nreally a sharing some <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:52,300 –> 00:01:54,900
\nmeditations with you hope.
\nThrough that process, may be <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:54,900 –> 00:01:59,000
\nsharing some spiritual insights.
\nAlso just going over the <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:59,000 –> 00:02:02,900
\napproach that I’ve used.
\nAnd through example, hopefully, <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:03,200 –> 00:02:06,900
\nencouraging and inspiring more
\npeople to want to use Revelation<\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:06,900 –> 00:02:11,600
\nas a meditation book, book to to
\ngain these spiritual principles <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:11,600 –> 00:02:13,700
\nfor today.
\nAnd what I’ve tried to also do <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:13,700 –> 00:02:17,500
\nin the next three sessions is to
\nis to group The meditations in <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:17,500 –> 00:02:21,300
\nto reveal the diversity of the
\nBook of Revelation that I’ve <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:21,300 –> 00:02:23,200
\nspoken to.
\nSo you’ll see today we’re going <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:23,200 –> 00:02:27,900
\nto use Some examples of
\nmeditations that refer to places<\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:27,900 –> 00:02:30,800
\nand people.
\nSo if you’re the kind of person <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:30,800 –> 00:02:33,400
\nthat likes to think about
\nrelationships and that talks <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:33,400 –> 00:02:36,200
\nyour language then Revelations,
\ngot something for you tomorrow <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:36,200 –> 00:02:38,500
\nwe’ll look at numbers.
\nIf you’re more of a spread sheet<\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:38,500 –> 00:02:43,500
\nnumbers person, then Revelations
\ngot passages for you and the <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:43,500 –> 00:02:46,300
\nlast day we’ll look at colors
\ncolors and pictures so if you’re<\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:46,300 –> 00:02:49,200
\nmore of an IT person Revelation
\ncan speak to you as well. <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:49,200 –> 00:02:52,100
\nAnd I think that’s the power of
\na whole Bible but specifically <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:52,100 –> 00:02:55,700
\nsaid in the Book of Revelation,
\nit’s It’s diversity in the way <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:55,700 –> 00:02:57,600
\nthat it’s expressing the
\nmessage. <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:57,600 –> 00:03:01,200
\nAnd I think that’s very powerful
\nfor us to use in our own <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:01,200 –> 00:03:04,100
\npreaching that we’ve got to
\nrealize, we’re talking to people<\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:04,400 –> 00:03:06,500
\nfrom different backgrounds who
\nhave different languages that <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:06,500 –> 00:03:08,800
\nthey communicate, and we can’t
\nhave only one method of doing <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:08,800 –> 00:03:11,400
\nthat and I think it’s
\nbeautifully summarized in the <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:11,400 –> 00:03:13,600
\nBook of Revelation.
\nSo we’re going to start with a <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:13,600 –> 00:03:17,100
\nlittle Revelation, but very
\nsmall meditation. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:17,100 –> 00:03:19,600
\nAnd then I’m going to go through
\nwhat I’ve caught in the past. <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:19,600 –> 00:03:23,100
\nI Revelation Parts where we’ve
\ngot something that we’ve chased <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:23,100 –> 00:03:24,900
\nup a bit first.
\nFurther and some interesting <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:24,900 –> 00:03:28,100
\ninsights that have come from my
\nmeditations. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:28,500 –> 00:03:34,100
\nSo starting with this passage
\nfrom very well-known passage, <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:34,300 –> 00:03:37,000
\nlet’s go back where we can get
\nit in full screen or as best as <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:37,000 –> 00:03:43,200
\nwe can and it’s from Revelation
\nchapter 14 and we have read this<\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:43,200 –> 00:03:46,000
\nmessage, I guess many times
\nbefore it says. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:46,000 –> 00:03:48,800
\nAnd another Angel followed
\nsaying Babylon is Fallen is <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:48,800 –> 00:03:53,300
\nFallen that great City because
\nshe has made all nations drink <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:53,300 –> 00:03:56,100
\nof the One of the wrath of her
\nfornication. <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:56,400 –> 00:03:58,700
\nSo, one morning that was my
\nmeditation. <\/p>\n

65
\n00:03:59,300 –> 00:04:03,400
\nA passage that you think, well,
\nwhat spiritual Insight can we <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:03,400 –> 00:04:06,600
\nget from this passage?
\nAnd so as I was thinking and <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:06,600 –> 00:04:11,300
\nfocusing on it and trying to
\nfocus on the detail of a passage<\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:11,300 –> 00:04:14,400
\nthat I’ve read so many times
\nbefore, and as I’ve mentioned <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:14,400 –> 00:04:18,200
\nbefore, it’s in passages that we
\nread so many times before that, <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:18,200 –> 00:04:21,600
\nwe’ve got to work a bit harder
\nto to try and see perhaps a <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:21,600 –> 00:04:23,700
\nmessage for us.
\nAnd the thing that caught Caught<\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:23,700 –> 00:04:27,700
\nmy attention.
\nIs this phrase Babylon is Fallen<\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:27,700 –> 00:04:30,700
\nis fallen.
\nIn fact, it’s used like in that <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:30,700 –> 00:04:34,200
\nsame way actually originally in
\nthe book of Isaiah Babylon is <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:34,200 –> 00:04:37,300
\nFallen is fallen.
\nAnd, you know, it comes over <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:37,300 –> 00:04:41,300
\nlips so easily, it doesn’t it.
\nAnd we know that in the New <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:41,300 –> 00:04:44,500
\nTestament, specifically often a
\nword is repeated for emphasis, <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:44,500 –> 00:04:48,700
\nJesus would say truly, truly, I
\nsay unto you, verily verily. <\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:48,900 –> 00:04:52,100
\nIn other words, what I’m about
\nto say is, is important. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:52,100 –> 00:04:55,300
\nYou need to concentrate But on
\nthe morning that I was thinking <\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:55,300 –> 00:04:58,000
\nabout this, I thought a bit more
\ndeeply about this idea. <\/p>\n

82
\n00:04:58,000 –> 00:05:01,300
\nThat Babylon is Fallen is
\nfallen. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:01,800 –> 00:05:04,900
\nAnd what got me thinking, is it
\nis, as I was thinking about The <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:04,900 –> 00:05:07,800
\nEchoes of Babylon.
\nI mean, the obvious thought came<\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:07,800 –> 00:05:12,000
\nto my mind here in the Book of
\nRevelation Babylon is such an <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:12,000 –> 00:05:16,000
\nimportant city.
\nIt’s a big part of the narrative<\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:16,400 –> 00:05:20,300
\nand yet, we know that Babylon
\nshouldn’t even be here. <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:21,000 –> 00:05:26,600
\nBecause the Babylon that we have
\nmet In the time of Daniel and in<\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:26,600 –> 00:05:31,000
\nthe Prophecies of Isaiah and
\nother Major Prophets has been <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:31,000 –> 00:05:33,800
\ndestroyed, it was prophesied
\nthat it would be destroyed. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:34,200 –> 00:05:36,300
\nWe all know this well, known
\nprophecy. <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:38,700 –> 00:05:43,300
\nSo the echo that that obviously
\nis from our first principles, is<\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:43,308 –> 00:05:47,900
\nthis idea that Babylon us?
\nWe can see the glory of the <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:47,900 –> 00:05:49,900
\nKingdom’s.
\nThe beauty of the Chaldeans <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:49,900 –> 00:05:54,200
\nPride will be as when God
\noverthrew Sodom and Amore, it <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:54,200 –> 00:05:58,100
\nwill never be inhabited.
\nAnd of course, we take this <\/p>\n

97
\n00:05:58,100 –> 00:06:01,200
\nbeautiful Prophecy from Isaiah
\nand we say there it is. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:01,300 –> 00:06:03,200
\nIt’s been four full bail on is
\ndestroyed. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:03,200 –> 00:06:07,500
\nYou can go there and the fact
\nthat it remains a rune, is a <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:07,500 –> 00:06:11,700
\ncontinuous proof of the power
\nthat God has over the nation’s. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:12,200 –> 00:06:15,100
\nAnd yet, we sort of Ghibli
\ncoming to Revelation and we find<\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:15,100 –> 00:06:17,600
\nthis Babylon and it’s there and
\nit’s alive. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:17,600 –> 00:06:20,400
\nAnd of course, the way we
\nreconcile that is quite simply <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:20,400 –> 00:06:23,100
\nwe say, well, that that’s the
\nphysical Babylon. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:23,700 –> 00:06:25,500
\nWas destroyed in here in the
\nBook of Revelation. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:25,500 –> 00:06:29,400
\nWe are being taught that there
\nis a spirit of Babylon which is <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:29,400 –> 00:06:31,700
\nan interesting Insight because
\noften we spend more time trying <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:31,700 –> 00:06:34,700
\nto identify a particular city
\nthat has Babylon. <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:34,900 –> 00:06:38,500
\nWhereas the fact that physical
\nBabylon remains destroyed is <\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:38,500 –> 00:06:42,300
\nscreaming at us that what we
\nhave in Revelation is the spirit<\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:42,300 –> 00:06:46,500
\nof Babylon, brought to life, not
\nnecessarily in one city, but in <\/p>\n

112
\n00:06:46,600 –> 00:06:50,600
\na way that demonstrates all that
\nBabylon stood for and will <\/p>\n

113
\n00:06:50,600 –> 00:06:53,300
\nactually see that a bit later in
\nanother, one of my meditations. <\/p>\n

114
\n00:06:53,600 –> 00:06:58,100
\nSo that’s an interesting Echo
\nand so this idea that Babylon is<\/p>\n

115
\n00:06:58,300 –> 00:07:03,500
\nFallen is Fallen is perhaps
\nmaking us also think that in <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:03,500 –> 00:07:07,000
\nfact, Babylon has to be
\ndestroyed twice. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:08,000 –> 00:07:10,300
\nAnd and that’s an interesting
\nidea. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:10,300 –> 00:07:16,300
\nWhen we view sin itself, we
\nunderstand as Jesus said that, <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:16,300 –> 00:07:21,000
\nwe’ve got to be very careful in
\nour view of sin that sin <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:21,400 –> 00:07:26,300
\nactually has to be dealt with on
\nthe Outside and the inside, we <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:26,300 –> 00:07:28,300
\ncan live lives.
\nLike the Pharisees were living <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:28,300 –> 00:07:30,200
\nwhere it looks like.
\nThey’ve dealt with all the <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:30,200 –> 00:07:33,600
\noutside manifestations of this.
\nAnd as he said, you’ve made the <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:33,600 –> 00:07:37,300
\noutside, look, very clean, but
\nyou haven’t dealt with the, the <\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:37,300 –> 00:07:40,800
\ninside, the thoughts, and
\nintents of your heart, have not <\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:40,800 –> 00:07:44,100
\nbeen dealt with.
\nAnd really, in this sense, we’re<\/p>\n

127
\n00:07:44,100 –> 00:07:48,600
\ntaught that sin requires a
\ndouble blow, it needs to be <\/p>\n

128
\n00:07:48,600 –> 00:07:51,700
\ndealt with twice as it were
\nDavid. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:07:51,900 –> 00:07:55,800
\nA summarizes this beautifully in
\nPsalm 51, he says, hide your <\/p>\n

130
\n00:07:55,800 –> 00:07:59,700
\nface from my sins, and blot out
\nall my iniquities. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:00,100 –> 00:08:02,000
\nOkay.
\nThat’s I need forgiveness for <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:02,000 –> 00:08:05,300
\nthe things that I’ve done wrong,
\nbut that alone doesn’t deal with<\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:05,300 –> 00:08:06,800
\nmy problem.
\nYou know? <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:06,800 –> 00:08:08,900
\nYou can you can, you know, kill
\nthe tree. <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:08,900 –> 00:08:11,400
\nBut if you haven’t dealt with
\nthe roots, or take out the weed,<\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:11,400 –> 00:08:14,200
\nbut if you haven’t taken out the
\nroots, it’s coming back. <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:14,900 –> 00:08:17,800
\nI need to also have my heart
\ncleaned. <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:18,100 –> 00:08:19,900
\nThis is what David understood.
\nI need. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:20,000 –> 00:08:23,800
\nI need you to come in and change
\nmy very way of thinking Because <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:23,800 –> 00:08:26,800
\neven though today, I didn’t do
\nthat thing that I didn’t want to<\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:26,800 –> 00:08:29,300
\ndo tomorrow.
\nIt’s coming back. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:08:29,600 –> 00:08:32,900
\nSo sit in a way, needs to be
\ndestroyed. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:08:33,000 –> 00:08:36,000
\nObviously in the outside, we
\nneed to work and stop ourselves <\/p>\n

144
\n00:08:36,000 –> 00:08:37,400
\nfrom doing the things that we
\nought not to do. <\/p>\n

145
\n00:08:37,400 –> 00:08:41,500
\nBut the way that ultimately
\ntakes place is by the inside <\/p>\n

146
\n00:08:41,700 –> 00:08:44,900
\nalso being cleansed.
\nSo perhaps there’s this idea <\/p>\n

147
\n00:08:45,100 –> 00:08:49,000
\nthat Babylon is Fallen is Fallen
\nteaching us. <\/p>\n

148
\n00:08:49,000 –> 00:08:53,000
\nThat we need to understand that
\ncertain our Labs requires the <\/p>\n

149
\n00:08:53,000 –> 00:08:55,700
\ndouble Oh, that David I think is
\nreferring to. <\/p>\n

150
\n00:08:55,900 –> 00:08:59,800
\nSo there’s a quick thought, just
\nfrom the idea of Babylon is <\/p>\n

151
\n00:08:59,800 –> 00:09:03,900
\nFallen is Fallen a little tick
\nbut in that same little passage,<\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:03,900 –> 00:09:07,800
\nis the idea that Babylon is
\nalways referred to as great <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:07,800 –> 00:09:11,900
\nBabylon in, in the, in both
\nactually in Revelation. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:12,100 –> 00:09:15,900
\nAnd in many of the texts that we
\nfind in Isaiah and you might <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:15,900 –> 00:09:19,500
\nwant to think about why, what’s
\nthe reason for that Echo, the <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:19,500 –> 00:09:21,400
\nword great.
\nBy the way, in Greek is the <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:21,400 –> 00:09:23,400
\nword, Mega.
\nWe still use that word today. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:09:23,900 –> 00:09:26,100
\nSo I’ll leave you with that
\nthought for yourself. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:09:27,100 –> 00:09:30,500
\nI want us not to go to this
\npassage which is the passage if <\/p>\n

160
\n00:09:30,500 –> 00:09:32,300
\nyou’ve got your Bibles open
\nbecause that’s not very clear. <\/p>\n

161
\n00:09:32,700 –> 00:09:34,300
\nStill battling with resolution.
\nYep. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:09:35,100 –> 00:09:37,900
\nIf we go to Revelation chapter 7
\nyou might want to open your <\/p>\n

163
\n00:09:37,900 –> 00:09:42,600
\nBibles, thanks for that
\nRevelation chapter 7 and there <\/p>\n

164
\n00:09:42,600 –> 00:09:46,600
\nis the the passage that deals
\nwith the sealed of God. <\/p>\n

165
\n00:09:46,600 –> 00:09:50,200
\nVery well-known.
\nBeautiful passage describing <\/p>\n

166
\n00:09:50,200 –> 00:09:53,500
\nwhat we call the 144,000, these
\nhave been washed. <\/p>\n

167
\n00:09:53,700 –> 00:09:58,000
\nHad their clothes washed in the
\nblood of the lamb and have been <\/p>\n

168
\n00:09:58,000 –> 00:10:01,100
\nsealed with the name of God on
\ntheir foreheads. <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:01,900 –> 00:10:06,400
\nAnd what morning when I was
\nconsidering this passage, what <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:06,400 –> 00:10:11,500
\ncaught my attention, what caught
\nmy focus is the way when this <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:11,600 –> 00:10:17,100
\nthis multitude are described, I
\nheard how many there were, who <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:17,100 –> 00:10:23,300
\nwere marked with the Seal of the
\nLord 144,000 from all the tribes<\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:23,300 –> 00:10:26,200
\nof Israel.
\nAll right and I think in another<\/p>\n

174
\n00:10:26,200 –> 00:10:29,100
\nversion it says from the
\nchildren the tribes of the <\/p>\n

175
\n00:10:29,100 –> 00:10:31,700
\nchildren of Israel were going to
\nhighlight that in the moment and<\/p>\n

176
\n00:10:31,700 –> 00:10:35,200
\nthen he goes on to say, I’ll
\ntell you how those hundred and <\/p>\n

177
\n00:10:35,200 –> 00:10:38,800
\nforty-four thousand were made up
\nand he then mentions each of the<\/p>\n

178
\n00:10:38,800 –> 00:10:41,800
\ntribes and gives us the the
\nnumber twelve thousand for <\/p>\n

179
\n00:10:41,800 –> 00:10:46,300
\nJudah, 12,000 for Ruben, 12,000
\nfor Levi, and I won’t go through<\/p>\n

180
\n00:10:46,300 –> 00:10:48,700
\nall the lists, what caught my
\nattention and this is what often<\/p>\n

181
\n00:10:48,700 –> 00:10:51,700
\ncatches, your attention when
\nyou’re meditating is the level <\/p>\n

182
\n00:10:51,700 –> 00:10:54,600
\nof detail again.
\nI mean, he could have stopped by<\/p>\n

183
\n00:10:54,600 –> 00:10:58,700
\nsaying, you know, I saw a great
\ncrowd 144,000 of the tribes of <\/p>\n

184
\n00:10:58,700 –> 00:11:01,800
\nthe children of Israel and we
\nwould have had a good picture, <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:02,500 –> 00:11:06,600
\nbut he goes specifically to
\nmention each of the names of the<\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:06,600 –> 00:11:11,000
\ntribes and to tell us that each
\nof them is allocated 12 hours. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:11,700 –> 00:11:14,400
\nSo I think, you know, again from
\na from a high-level point of <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:14,400 –> 00:11:16,400
\nview there we go.
\nJust need to press the button <\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:16,400 –> 00:11:19,500
\nand it would have got nice and
\nclear from a high-level point of<\/p>\n

190
\n00:11:19,500 –> 00:11:21,800
\nview.
\nWhat we’re seeing is is this <\/p>\n

191
\n00:11:21,800 –> 00:11:25,500
\nbeautiful idea that Amongst the
\nsealed of God amongst the <\/p>\n

192
\n00:11:25,500 –> 00:11:27,800
\nreveal.
\nThe redeemed is a place for all <\/p>\n

193
\n00:11:27,800 –> 00:11:29,900
\nof us.
\nThere’s a place for everyone. <\/p>\n

194
\n00:11:30,000 –> 00:11:34,400
\nIt’s an entry of abundance is an
\nabundant injury often, we <\/p>\n

195
\n00:11:34,400 –> 00:11:37,700
\nobviously look with fear and
\nuncertainty, will there be a <\/p>\n

196
\n00:11:37,700 –> 00:11:40,700
\nplace for me?
\nBut the message in Revelation <\/p>\n

197
\n00:11:40,700 –> 00:11:43,300
\nand certainly In this passage,
\nis this a place for everyone. <\/p>\n

198
\n00:11:43,400 –> 00:11:48,100
\nThere’s 12,000 for every tribe
\nand I think the reason every <\/p>\n

199
\n00:11:48,100 –> 00:11:50,700
\ntribe is named is in a way.
\nYes, we’re no. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:11:50,700 –> 00:11:55,100
\nThe allusions to at the Israel
\nand and Becky each of the <\/p>\n

201
\n00:11:55,100 –> 00:11:56,100
\ntribes.
\nAnd we’ll look at that in a <\/p>\n

202
\n00:11:56,108 –> 00:11:58,800
\nmoment.
\nBut the point is each trop also <\/p>\n

203
\n00:11:58,800 –> 00:12:00,500
\nrepresented.
\nI’ve been talking about <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:00,500 –> 00:12:03,400
\ndiversity different
\ncharacteristics and all of them <\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:03,400 –> 00:12:07,200
\nare there all of your cultural
\nbackgrounds, all of your <\/p>\n

206
\n00:12:07,200 –> 00:12:09,600
\nheritage, all of your
\npersonality traits. <\/p>\n

207
\n00:12:10,100 –> 00:12:13,100
\nGod has a place for every one of
\nyou and your Equity treat it <\/p>\n

208
\n00:12:13,100 –> 00:12:16,600
\n12,000 for each.
\nAnd of course that message is <\/p>\n

209
\n00:12:16,600 –> 00:12:19,200
\ncoming out strongly because when
\nwe go back to look at the tribes<\/p>\n

210
\n00:12:19,200 –> 00:12:22,700
\nas they recorded in numbers,
\nwhen the numberings were done, <\/p>\n

211
\n00:12:22,700 –> 00:12:25,200
\nthey were certainly not.
\nEqual in size, some of the <\/p>\n

212
\n00:12:25,200 –> 00:12:28,800
\ntribes were two times the volume
\nin terms of population. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:12:28,800 –> 00:12:32,200
\nThe number then other traps had
\nsome very fertile woman in their<\/p>\n

214
\n00:12:32,200 –> 00:12:34,800
\ntribes.
\nSo but when we come to the <\/p>\n

215
\n00:12:34,800 –> 00:12:38,500
\nmessage of of the sealed of God,
\nevery tribe receives 12,000. <\/p>\n

216
\n00:12:38,500 –> 00:12:41,800
\nAbundant entry space for
\neveryone that’s inspiration for <\/p>\n

217
\n00:12:41,800 –> 00:12:45,100
\nus.
\nBut then of course we do know <\/p>\n

218
\n00:12:45,100 –> 00:12:48,800
\njust a little detail, a little
\ndetail becomes apparent and it’s<\/p>\n

219
\n00:12:48,800 –> 00:12:53,300
\nthis detail.
\nHere is the, the tribes of the <\/p>\n

220
\n00:12:53,300 –> 00:12:57,100
\nchildren of Israel and he goes
\nthrough each of them and names <\/p>\n

221
\n00:12:57,100 –> 00:12:59,000
\nthem.
\nAnd and what do we notice? <\/p>\n

222
\n00:12:59,000 –> 00:13:03,300
\nWell there’s a list of
\nRevelation chapter 7 when we go <\/p>\n

223
\n00:13:03,300 –> 00:13:08,100
\nback to Genesis chapter 29 where
\nwe have a list of the children <\/p>\n

224
\n00:13:08,100 –> 00:13:11,300
\nof Israel.
\nWe notice of course that the <\/p>\n

225
\n00:13:11,300 –> 00:13:16,400
\nlist in Revelation chapter 7 is
\nmissing someone and that is Dan.<\/p>\n

226
\n00:13:16,600 –> 00:13:19,200
\nNow you’ll know that a Numbers
\nChapter 1, when the tribes are <\/p>\n

227
\n00:13:19,200 –> 00:13:22,000
\nlisted in terms of the way that
\nI camped around the Tabernacle <\/p>\n

228
\n00:13:22,400 –> 00:13:26,600
\nEphraim and Manasseh as a part
\nof the double portion coming to <\/p>\n

229
\n00:13:26,600 –> 00:13:31,100
\nreplace Joseph.
\nAnd Levi, although remaining as <\/p>\n

230
\n00:13:31,100 –> 00:13:34,500
\na tribe was not one of the
\ntribes that kept in the twelve <\/p>\n

231
\n00:13:34,600 –> 00:13:37,800
\nencampments the the three
\nencampments on the four points <\/p>\n

232
\n00:13:37,800 –> 00:13:41,300
\nof the compass.
\nBut I think when you look at the<\/p>\n

233
\n00:13:41,300 –> 00:13:45,000
\ncomparison between Revelation
\nchapter 7 and Genesis 29 being <\/p>\n

234
\n00:13:45,000 –> 00:13:47,900
\nthe children of Israel, that’s
\nthe difference, it’s made in <\/p>\n

235
\n00:13:47,900 –> 00:13:52,300
\nRevelation chapter 7 the missing
\nperson actually Actually is Dan.<\/p>\n

236
\n00:13:52,500 –> 00:13:56,200
\nWhat’s happened is Levi’s, been
\nbrought back in as you can see, <\/p>\n

237
\n00:13:56,300 –> 00:13:58,800
\nand then Joseph is brought back
\nbecause he is one of the <\/p>\n

238
\n00:13:58,800 –> 00:14:03,700
\nchildren and in replace of Dan
\nin place of Dan is Manasseh. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:14:03,700 –> 00:14:07,700
\nWho, in fact was the first born
\nchild of Joseph, perhaps he’s <\/p>\n

240
\n00:14:07,700 –> 00:14:09,500
\nthere because of the double
\nportion, I’m sure we could have <\/p>\n

241
\n00:14:09,500 –> 00:14:14,000
\ndiscussions about that but the
\nmissing tribe is that you know I<\/p>\n

242
\n00:14:14,000 –> 00:14:16,600
\nthought about it.
\nI thought imagine this you know,<\/p>\n

243
\n00:14:16,600 –> 00:14:19,300
\nit’s this beautiful scene is
\npainted. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:14:19,400 –> 00:14:23,800
\nImagine if you A part of the
\ntribe of Dan and you come to <\/p>\n

245
\n00:14:24,000 –> 00:14:28,100
\nthis Revelation chapter 7 and
\nyou come to imagine the picture <\/p>\n

246
\n00:14:28,900 –> 00:14:30,900
\nand you know like when we all
\nlook through photograph albums <\/p>\n

247
\n00:14:30,900 –> 00:14:33,000
\nIf we’re honest we looking
\nthrough a photograph album. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:14:33,000 –> 00:14:35,600
\nLook at the photos and suddenly
\nwe were looking for one of our <\/p>\n

249
\n00:14:35,600 –> 00:14:38,000
\nselfie.
\nSonny’s double there I am we we <\/p>\n

250
\n00:14:38,000 –> 00:14:40,700
\ndrawn to ourselves.
\nWe might not want to show it we <\/p>\n

251
\n00:14:40,900 –> 00:14:45,100
\nput but if you are of the tribe
\nof Dan and you were reading <\/p>\n

252
\n00:14:45,100 –> 00:14:49,600
\nRevelation chapter 7, you
\nwouldn’t be very happy because <\/p>\n

253
\n00:14:49,600 –> 00:14:53,800
\nwe’re not there.
\nAnd so, it got my mind thinking <\/p>\n

254
\n00:14:53,800 –> 00:14:59,200
\nabout why, why would in this in
\nthis picture of abundance. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:14:59,400 –> 00:15:02,900
\nIn this picture of God, making
\nplace for every trap, <\/p>\n

256
\n00:15:03,600 –> 00:15:06,100
\nspecifically one trap is left
\nout. <\/p>\n

257
\n00:15:06,100 –> 00:15:09,100
\nSo, let’s take a while just to
\nthink about what spiritual <\/p>\n

258
\n00:15:09,100 –> 00:15:12,600
\nlesson we can take from missing
\nDan. <\/p>\n

259
\n00:15:13,200 –> 00:15:17,700
\nNow, this idea of of one being
\nmissing amongst the chosen is <\/p>\n

260
\n00:15:17,700 –> 00:15:20,700
\nEcho, definitely in the life of
\nJesus. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:15:21,600 –> 00:15:25,900
\nRemember when Jesus said in John
\n6, did I not Choose You the <\/p>\n

262
\n00:15:25,900 –> 00:15:28,100
\ntwelve and one of you is a
\ndevil. <\/p>\n

263
\n00:15:28,700 –> 00:15:34,600
\nSo there’s a lovely Echo there.
\n12 chosen one has turned Twelve <\/p>\n

264
\n00:15:34,600 –> 00:15:38,600
\nTribes, 12 children of Israel.
\nOne is not there, of course, in <\/p>\n

265
\n00:15:38,600 –> 00:15:41,500
\nthe case of of Judas, we know he
\nwas a betrayer. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:15:42,200 –> 00:15:46,400
\nHe was not prepared to wait for
\nJesus to work out his own <\/p>\n

267
\n00:15:46,400 –> 00:15:49,600
\npurpose, he wanted to force the
\nissue, whatever your view is as <\/p>\n

268
\n00:15:49,600 –> 00:15:53,700
\nto why he portrayed Jesus.
\nSo that’s quite clear but but <\/p>\n

269
\n00:15:53,700 –> 00:15:58,300
\nDan is it the same spirit and
\nDan that that will not allow us <\/p>\n

270
\n00:15:58,300 –> 00:16:01,100
\nto be a part of those redeemed?
\nIt’s an important question. <\/p>\n

271
\n00:16:01,500 –> 00:16:03,700
\nSo let’s think a bit more about
\nthe answer. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:16:04,400 –> 00:16:09,900
\nLet’s go in search of Dan.
\nNow, typically people will say <\/p>\n

273
\n00:16:09,900 –> 00:16:13,900
\nto you and I’ve certainly heard
\nit that Dan is missing from this<\/p>\n

274
\n00:16:13,900 –> 00:16:16,900
\nlist and I’m sure some of you
\nthought about it because his <\/p>\n

275
\n00:16:16,900 –> 00:16:23,900
\nname means to judge And this
\nlist of people that we have in <\/p>\n

276
\n00:16:23,900 –> 00:16:28,300
\nRevelation chapter 7 of the
\nredeemed, Mercy, we’ve been <\/p>\n

277
\n00:16:28,300 –> 00:16:31,400
\ntalking about that throughout
\nthis week, triumphs over <\/p>\n

278
\n00:16:31,400 –> 00:16:33,900
\njudgment.
\nSo, in a sense from just, the <\/p>\n

279
\n00:16:33,900 –> 00:16:35,900
\nmeaning of his name, we
\nshouldn’t expect to find them <\/p>\n

280
\n00:16:35,900 –> 00:16:38,700
\nthere because these are the ones
\nwho have had mercy. <\/p>\n

281
\n00:16:38,700 –> 00:16:42,500
\nSo, I guess there’s some Merit
\nin that, but when we dig deeper,<\/p>\n

282
\n00:16:42,500 –> 00:16:45,500
\nand we understand and we look
\nfor The Echoes, I think there’s <\/p>\n

283
\n00:16:45,500 –> 00:16:48,000
\na greater spiritual principle
\nunderlying. <\/p>\n

284
\n00:16:48,700 –> 00:16:52,700
\nWhy someone Might be missing,
\ndespite the availability of <\/p>\n

285
\n00:16:52,700 –> 00:16:55,200
\nmercy.
\nSo, so yes. <\/p>\n

286
\n00:16:55,500 –> 00:16:58,600
\nDad’s name does mean to judge to
\ncontend to vindicate? <\/p>\n

287
\n00:16:58,600 –> 00:17:01,500
\nThe question is, what is meant
\nby that judgment? <\/p>\n

288
\n00:17:01,900 –> 00:17:03,800
\nWhat do we mean by that
\njudgment? <\/p>\n

289
\n00:17:03,800 –> 00:17:06,200
\nAnd the way to answer the
\nquestion, of course, is what <\/p>\n

290
\n00:17:06,200 –> 00:17:09,099
\nwe’ll do just now is to go back
\nto Genesis and to try and <\/p>\n

291
\n00:17:09,099 –> 00:17:14,099
\nunderstand what was the very
\njeans that you re very DNA of <\/p>\n

292
\n00:17:14,099 –> 00:17:16,200
\ngas before.
\nWe do that some interesting <\/p>\n

293
\n00:17:16,200 –> 00:17:19,099
\nthings.
\nDan as a name, both referring to<\/p>\n

294
\n00:17:19,099 –> 00:17:21,200
\nthe individual.
\nRap is about 60 times in the <\/p>\n

295
\n00:17:21,208 –> 00:17:24,000
\nBible.
\nThis surprised me, he’s the <\/p>\n

296
\n00:17:24,000 –> 00:17:26,099
\nfifth most reference son of
\nJacob. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:17:26,099 –> 00:17:29,200
\nSo you got the obvious guys that
\nyou would think are in the in <\/p>\n

298
\n00:17:29,200 –> 00:17:32,600
\nthe top spot Judah.
\nLevi obviously being mentioned <\/p>\n

299
\n00:17:32,600 –> 00:17:35,500
\nquite a lot of times but here is
\nDanforth in line. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:17:36,100 –> 00:17:39,900
\nHe’s mentioned a lot more than
\nsome other quite famous. <\/p>\n

301
\n00:17:39,900 –> 00:17:42,500
\nI think Ruben, for example, is
\nmentioned far less times and <\/p>\n

302
\n00:17:42,500 –> 00:17:44,200
\nDan.
\nHe was the first one. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:17:44,500 –> 00:17:49,100
\nSo he becomes quite an important
\ntrap in the land of Israel. <\/p>\n

304
\n00:17:49,800 –> 00:17:53,200
\nHe’s the only son.
\nObvious real. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:17:53,200 –> 00:17:55,700
\nHe’s not mentioned at all in the
\nNew Testament at all. <\/p>\n

306
\n00:17:55,800 –> 00:17:58,200
\nSo, not in Revelation, nowhere
\nin the New Testament. <\/p>\n

307
\n00:17:58,900 –> 00:18:02,500
\nSo interesting, let’s do what
\nwe’ve been saying. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:18:02,500 –> 00:18:06,300
\nWe’d like to do and go back to
\nGenesis and see if we can find <\/p>\n

309
\n00:18:06,300 –> 00:18:09,300
\nout something about Dan.
\nAnd I think the essence of the <\/p>\n

310
\n00:18:09,308 –> 00:18:13,200
\nspirit of Dan is actually
\ncaptured in his naming and his <\/p>\n

311
\n00:18:13,200 –> 00:18:16,700
\nbirth.
\nSo this is what happens when he <\/p>\n

312
\n00:18:16,700 –> 00:18:20,500
\nis born.
\nRachel said, God has Vindicated <\/p>\n

313
\n00:18:20,500 –> 00:18:21,700
\nme.
\nRemember, that was one of the, <\/p>\n

314
\n00:18:21,700 –> 00:18:24,100
\nthe tri-state.
\nSo, it’s named in the King James<\/p>\n

315
\n00:18:24,100 –> 00:18:25,700
\nversion.
\nIt says, God is Judge Me. <\/p>\n

316
\n00:18:26,000 –> 00:18:29,400
\nHe has listen to my plea and
\ngiven me a son because of this, <\/p>\n

317
\n00:18:29,400 –> 00:18:32,400
\nshe named him, Dan.
\nSo here, she’s capturing the <\/p>\n

318
\n00:18:32,400 –> 00:18:34,300
\nvery Spirit of the birth of her
\nson, Dan. <\/p>\n

319
\n00:18:35,500 –> 00:18:38,800
\nNow, I want you to think a bit
\nabout that word that’s been used<\/p>\n

320
\n00:18:38,800 –> 00:18:41,300
\nat the Tri-State, as choose to
\nuse the word Vindicated, <\/p>\n

321
\n00:18:41,300 –> 00:18:43,100
\nslightly different in our
\nlanguage. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:18:43,100 –> 00:18:45,700
\nThe word judge.
\nI think it’s actually a bit more<\/p>\n

323
\n00:18:45,700 –> 00:18:48,500
\nhelpful.
\nThe idea there is that God has <\/p>\n

324
\n00:18:48,500 –> 00:18:52,700
\ncome through for me.
\nHe and she says that I pleaded <\/p>\n

325
\n00:18:52,700 –> 00:18:56,800
\nto him, he’s listen to my plea
\nand he’s given me what I wanted,<\/p>\n

326
\n00:18:56,800 –> 00:19:00,700
\nwhich was a son.
\nAs we unravel the story, we’re <\/p>\n

327
\n00:19:00,700 –> 00:19:04,500
\ngoing to see that there’s
\nnothing true about that and this<\/p>\n

328
\n00:19:04,500 –> 00:19:07,600
\nis where the real spiritual
\ntruth lies. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:19:07,600 –> 00:19:11,400
\nThat’s been revealed to us, I
\nBelieve by focusing on the <\/p>\n

330
\n00:19:11,400 –> 00:19:14,100
\nmissing Dan in Revelation
\nchapter 7. <\/p>\n

331
\n00:19:15,300 –> 00:19:17,900
\nSo, how does the story begin?
\nWell, you know, the story, <\/p>\n

332
\n00:19:18,900 –> 00:19:21,300
\nthere’s a two arms and they’re
\nin a baby competition. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:19:21,800 –> 00:19:25,100
\nAnd, of course, Rachel was the
\nfirst one, she was the favorite <\/p>\n

334
\n00:19:25,800 –> 00:19:29,900
\nand all she wanted to do was to
\ngive her husband a son, but she <\/p>\n

335
\n00:19:29,900 –> 00:19:32,300
\nwas Barren.
\nAnd Leah was just producing the <\/p>\n

336
\n00:19:32,300 –> 00:19:34,900
\nwives one after of the wives 4
\nSons. <\/p>\n

337
\n00:19:34,900 –> 00:19:39,800
\nOne after another four in a row,
\nevery season, she becomes <\/p>\n

338
\n00:19:39,800 –> 00:19:41,800
\ndesperate, and look at what she
\nsays. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:19:43,000 –> 00:19:45,900
\nIt is when she saw that she was
\nnot bearing. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:19:45,900 –> 00:19:47,900
\nJacob, any children she became
\njealous. <\/p>\n

341
\n00:19:48,300 –> 00:19:52,900
\nSo she said to Jacob, give me
\nchildren or I will die. <\/p>\n

342
\n00:19:54,200 –> 00:19:56,700
\nSo immediately we learn a lot
\nabout Rachel, don’t we? <\/p>\n

343
\n00:19:57,500 –> 00:20:01,700
\nShe has a problem.
\nShe’s desperate for children. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:20:01,800 –> 00:20:05,300
\nShe doesn’t get on her knees,
\nlike, Hannah and pray to God <\/p>\n

345
\n00:20:05,300 –> 00:20:07,500
\nbecause she had on you.
\nThat. <\/p>\n

346
\n00:20:07,500 –> 00:20:11,500
\nThat’s where children come from.
\nShe goes to Jacob, says, give me<\/p>\n

347
\n00:20:11,500 –> 00:20:15,600
\nchildren or I will die.
\nJacob course, being a man of <\/p>\n

348
\n00:20:15,600 –> 00:20:20,400
\nFaith answers correctly.
\nJacob became angry with her and <\/p>\n

349
\n00:20:20,400 –> 00:20:24,300
\nsaid, am I in place of God who
\nhas kept you from Having <\/p>\n

350
\n00:20:24,700 –> 00:20:27,700
\nchildren, so he points her in
\nthe direction that she should be<\/p>\n

351
\n00:20:27,700 –> 00:20:30,300
\ngoing.
\nHe says, I’m not the one who can<\/p>\n

352
\n00:20:30,300 –> 00:20:31,600
\ngive you children.
\nIt’s God. <\/p>\n

353
\n00:20:31,700 –> 00:20:33,100
\nAnd I want you to notice those
\nwords. <\/p>\n

354
\n00:20:33,100 –> 00:20:39,000
\nAm I in place of God.
\nAm I the substitute for God in <\/p>\n

355
\n00:20:39,000 –> 00:20:41,200
\nthis case and so he’s
\nencouraging her. <\/p>\n

356
\n00:20:41,200 –> 00:20:43,800
\nAnd so what does Rachel do, does
\nshe get on her knees like Hannah<\/p>\n

357
\n00:20:44,000 –> 00:20:46,400
\nand pray for children?
\nAs she said, she’d it does she <\/p>\n

358
\n00:20:46,400 –> 00:20:49,900
\nplead for children?
\nThat’s not in the record, maybe <\/p>\n

359
\n00:20:49,900 –> 00:20:52,800
\nshe did but it’s not the way the
\nwriter of Genesis chooses to <\/p>\n

360
\n00:20:52,800 –> 00:20:55,300
\nreveal the story to us.
\nThis is what she does. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:20:57,300 –> 00:21:02,100
\nSo, she said, here is my maid
\nbulla, go into her and she will <\/p>\n

362
\n00:21:02,100 –> 00:21:05,700
\nbear a child on my knees.
\nThat I also may have children by<\/p>\n

363
\n00:21:05,700 –> 00:21:08,600
\nher.
\nShe came up with the solution. <\/p>\n

364
\n00:21:09,100 –> 00:21:14,300
\nIronically the solution she came
\nup with was the very solution <\/p>\n

365
\n00:21:14,400 –> 00:21:19,400
\nthat God had said to her,
\nfather-in-law his father rat. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:21:19,400 –> 00:21:21,400
\nRemember when Abram was
\nwondering where the promised <\/p>\n

367
\n00:21:21,400 –> 00:21:24,100
\nseed would come from, was he
\ngoing to come through Eliezer? <\/p>\n

368
\n00:21:24,100 –> 00:21:27,000
\nWas it going to come through?
\nHis hand made that had been <\/p>\n

369
\n00:21:27,000 –> 00:21:30,400
\ngiven to him from Sarah and God
\nsaid very clearly. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:21:30,400 –> 00:21:33,600
\nNo, no, no.
\nYour wife Sarah will bear you, a<\/p>\n

371
\n00:21:33,600 –> 00:21:36,000
\nchild.
\nSo, in the family, they had <\/p>\n

372
\n00:21:36,000 –> 00:21:39,600
\nalready learned this principle,
\nbut but for Rachel, she wanted <\/p>\n

373
\n00:21:39,600 –> 00:21:42,900
\nso desperately to have a son
\nthat she would find her own way <\/p>\n

374
\n00:21:42,900 –> 00:21:47,200
\nto do it and that the use of the
\nHebrew expression, I think it’s <\/p>\n

375
\n00:21:47,200 –> 00:21:49,700
\nlost in some of the newer
\ntranslations is so powerful, <\/p>\n

376
\n00:21:49,700 –> 00:21:52,100
\nisn’t it?
\nLook at that phrase and she will<\/p>\n

377
\n00:21:52,100 –> 00:21:56,900
\nbear a child on my knees.
\nShe’s giving us a visual image. <\/p>\n

378
\n00:21:56,900 –> 00:21:59,900
\nShe’s going to take this hand
\nmate, and when she’s about to <\/p>\n

379
\n00:21:59,900 –> 00:22:02,500
\ngive birth, she’s going to put
\nher on her knees, so that it <\/p>\n

380
\n00:22:02,500 –> 00:22:05,500
\nwill appear that.
\nThe child that is born is <\/p>\n

381
\n00:22:05,500 –> 00:22:10,000
\nactually from Rachel.
\nI’ve done it, I’ve given birth <\/p>\n

382
\n00:22:10,000 –> 00:22:13,700
\nto a child to a son.
\nThere can be given to you. <\/p>\n

383
\n00:22:14,300 –> 00:22:17,000
\nJacob.
\nAnd when we stop to think about <\/p>\n

384
\n00:22:17,000 –> 00:22:20,500
\nthat.
\nAnd we now read these words. <\/p>\n

385
\n00:22:21,100 –> 00:22:24,800
\nGod has Vindicated me.
\nHe has listen to my plea and <\/p>\n

386
\n00:22:24,800 –> 00:22:28,300
\ngiven me a son.
\nWe understand how incorrect it <\/p>\n

387
\n00:22:28,300 –> 00:22:31,900
\nwas.
\nShe had Vindicated herself, she <\/p>\n

388
\n00:22:31,900 –> 00:22:36,600
\nhad judged herself.
\nShe had found a way to deliver <\/p>\n

389
\n00:22:37,000 –> 00:22:40,800
\non the problem that she had and
\nI guess we might summarize that <\/p>\n

390
\n00:22:40,800 –> 00:22:47,000
\nparticular Spurt as this, my
\nplan is God’s plan. <\/p>\n

391
\n00:22:47,900 –> 00:22:51,200
\nAnd, you know, so often in our
\nlives, we find ourselves in that<\/p>\n

392
\n00:22:51,200 –> 00:22:54,000
\nsituation.
\nWe find ourselves impatient not <\/p>\n

393
\n00:22:54,000 –> 00:22:57,500
\nwilling to wait for God to work
\nin us and through us. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:22:57,700 –> 00:23:00,900
\nAnd so what we do is eventually
\nwe find our own way to do <\/p>\n

395
\n00:23:00,900 –> 00:23:03,300
\nwhatever it is.
\nWe want to achieve, but there’s <\/p>\n

396
\n00:23:03,300 –> 00:23:06,100
\nsomething a bit more Insidious
\nyears in there and we’re good at<\/p>\n

397
\n00:23:06,100 –> 00:23:11,300
\ndoing this as well, we work our
\nown solution and then we ascribe<\/p>\n

398
\n00:23:11,300 –> 00:23:16,300
\nit to God.
\nWe find a way to manipulate what<\/p>\n

399
\n00:23:16,300 –> 00:23:18,200
\nwe have done and say, well, it’s
\nthe work of God. <\/p>\n

400
\n00:23:19,200 –> 00:23:21,800
\nNow, I can test it in you, and
\nyou can tested a me. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:23:21,800 –> 00:23:25,800
\nBut in our hearts and in our
\nconscience, we can sometimes see<\/p>\n

402
\n00:23:25,800 –> 00:23:28,600
\nthat.
\nAnd this is where this dangerous<\/p>\n

403
\n00:23:28,600 –> 00:23:31,600
\nSpirit lies.
\nThis thing that God cannot <\/p>\n

404
\n00:23:31,600 –> 00:23:36,100
\nthrough his Mercy, because God’s
\nmercy cannot deal with autonomy.<\/p>\n

405
\n00:23:37,100 –> 00:23:41,100
\nGod’s Mercy is only dependent on
\none thing that you are dependent<\/p>\n

406
\n00:23:41,100 –> 00:23:44,500
\non him.
\nThe the unforgivable sin that’s <\/p>\n

407
\n00:23:44,500 –> 00:23:47,800
\nin that says the spirit and
\npower of God, the Holy Spirit <\/p>\n

408
\n00:23:47,900 –> 00:23:52,700
\nhas no power in my life because
\nmy power is what counts becomes <\/p>\n

409
\n00:23:52,700 –> 00:23:55,600
\nthe unforgivable sin.
\nMy plan is God’s plan. <\/p>\n

410
\n00:23:55,900 –> 00:23:58,700
\nNow, we see this.
\nNow in the spirit of the birth <\/p>\n

411
\n00:23:58,700 –> 00:24:03,400
\nof Dan, The Echoes of Genesis
\nthat something about Dan speaks <\/p>\n

412
\n00:24:03,400 –> 00:24:05,900
\nto this desire to to execute our
\nown will. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:24:05,900 –> 00:24:08,700
\nBut as we go through now very
\nquickly, we’ll do it as we go <\/p>\n

414
\n00:24:08,700 –> 00:24:12,100
\nthrough other parts of that and
\nwe see the same idea coming <\/p>\n

415
\n00:24:12,100 –> 00:24:14,900
\nthrough.
\nFor example, you’ll know that <\/p>\n

416
\n00:24:14,900 –> 00:24:19,100
\nJacob gave these blessings to
\nthe 12 children and they <\/p>\n

417
\n00:24:19,100 –> 00:24:21,900
\nsummarized the characteristics
\nof each of the children. <\/p>\n

418
\n00:24:22,100 –> 00:24:25,000
\nSo up on the screen yet when he
\nwas blessing Judah, he <\/p>\n

419
\n00:24:25,000 –> 00:24:27,100
\nsummarized the fact that Judah
\nwas going to be a leader. <\/p>\n

420
\n00:24:27,100 –> 00:24:29,900
\nMaybe he read, he had
\ndemonstrated those qualities and<\/p>\n

421
\n00:24:29,900 –> 00:24:33,400
\nhe said, you’re like a lion and
\nfrom this we get the idea of the<\/p>\n

422
\n00:24:33,400 –> 00:24:35,600
\nLion of the tribe of Judah.
\nYou’re a great leader. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:24:37,400 –> 00:24:39,600
\nWhat did he say when he came to
\nDan? <\/p>\n

424
\n00:24:42,200 –> 00:24:44,700
\nHe said Dan shall judge his
\npeople as one of the tribes of <\/p>\n

425
\n00:24:44,700 –> 00:24:47,300
\nIsrael.
\nDan shall be a serpent by the <\/p>\n

426
\n00:24:47,300 –> 00:24:51,400
\nway, a Viper by the pot, that
\nbotched the horses heels. <\/p>\n

427
\n00:24:51,500 –> 00:24:53,800
\nSo that it’s Rider shall fall
\nbackward. <\/p>\n

428
\n00:24:55,300 –> 00:24:58,800
\nSo isn’t this an amazing
\ndescription of what we had seen <\/p>\n

429
\n00:24:58,800 –> 00:25:02,100
\nwith Rachel?
\nThis idea that Dan is going to <\/p>\n

430
\n00:25:02,100 –> 00:25:04,500
\njudge his people.
\nI don’t think he means become a <\/p>\n

431
\n00:25:04,508 –> 00:25:06,700
\njudge on behalf of God, he’s
\ngoing to judge. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:25:06,700 –> 00:25:08,700
\nHis people will see in a bit
\nlater. <\/p>\n

433
\n00:25:08,900 –> 00:25:13,900
\nAccording to his own way, it’s
\nhis own rules and not only is he<\/p>\n

434
\n00:25:13,900 –> 00:25:17,200
\ngoing to do that, he’s going to
\nbe very deceptive, he’s going to<\/p>\n

435
\n00:25:17,200 –> 00:25:19,800
\ncome as a snake behind the
\nrider. <\/p>\n

436
\n00:25:19,900 –> 00:25:22,200
\nSo he’s going to be a snare to
\nthe rest of Israel. <\/p>\n

437
\n00:25:23,200 –> 00:25:25,400
\nAnd he’s going to present to
\nthem something that looks like <\/p>\n

438
\n00:25:25,400 –> 00:25:28,300
\nthe judgments of God and he’s
\ngoing to take them out just like<\/p>\n

439
\n00:25:28,300 –> 00:25:34,100
\nthe echo of the serpent that
\nsaid, God knows that the day <\/p>\n

440
\n00:25:34,100 –> 00:25:37,200
\nthat you eat of the tree of the
\nknowledge of Good and Evil, you <\/p>\n

441
\n00:25:37,200 –> 00:25:40,600
\nwill become like him.
\nIn other words to present that, <\/p>\n

442
\n00:25:40,600 –> 00:25:44,300
\nthat this opportunity that you
\nhave Eve, is really not that <\/p>\n

443
\n00:25:44,300 –> 00:25:47,800
\nbad, because really, it’s just a
\nway in which you can make the <\/p>\n

444
\n00:25:47,800 –> 00:25:51,000
\njudgments of God yourself.
\nYou can discern between Good and<\/p>\n

445
\n00:25:51,000 –> 00:25:53,600
\nEvil.
\nAnd that was really the essence <\/p>\n

446
\n00:25:53,600 –> 00:25:58,100
\nof the Serpent’s Temptation and
\nno wonder, Jacob says, in Dan is<\/p>\n

447
\n00:25:58,100 –> 00:26:02,800
\nthe spirit of that deception
\nthat thing which says I can make<\/p>\n

448
\n00:26:02,800 –> 00:26:08,000
\nthe Judgment separate from God
\nand I can ascribe it to God. <\/p>\n

449
\n00:26:08,800 –> 00:26:11,700
\nIsn’t it interesting that
\nSuddenly at the end of his <\/p>\n

450
\n00:26:11,700 –> 00:26:14,700
\ndescription of Dan, Jacob puts
\nVerse 18. <\/p>\n

451
\n00:26:15,600 –> 00:26:18,000
\nAnd when you’re reading it, you
\nthink I see put that in there. <\/p>\n

452
\n00:26:18,000 –> 00:26:19,200
\nWhat’s that?
\nGot to do with the rest? <\/p>\n

453
\n00:26:19,400 –> 00:26:24,200
\nI have waited for your cell.
\nOvation own Lord isn’t that the <\/p>\n

454
\n00:26:24,200 –> 00:26:27,600
\nessence of it?
\nWell is it that we want to <\/p>\n

455
\n00:26:27,600 –> 00:26:31,100
\nexecute our own judgment when it
\nis it that we want to do it our <\/p>\n

456
\n00:26:31,100 –> 00:26:33,400
\nway when we no longer prepared
\nto wait? <\/p>\n

457
\n00:26:34,600 –> 00:26:38,600
\nYou see, patients is one of
\nthose incredible qualities of <\/p>\n

458
\n00:26:38,600 –> 00:26:40,700
\nGod.
\nIt’s in almost all of the lists <\/p>\n

459
\n00:26:41,100 –> 00:26:42,500
\nthat represent the
\ncharacteristics of God. <\/p>\n

460
\n00:26:42,500 –> 00:26:46,700
\nIf you go to Exodus chapter 34,
\nit’s the third long-suffering, <\/p>\n

461
\n00:26:46,900 –> 00:26:49,700
\nmerciful gracious.
\nLong-suffering you go to the <\/p>\n

462
\n00:26:50,100 –> 00:26:52,200
\nfruit of the spirit.
\nWe’ve got love joy. <\/p>\n

463
\n00:26:52,200 –> 00:26:55,400
\nPeace.
\nPatience, you go to the First <\/p>\n

464
\n00:26:55,400 –> 00:26:57,100
\nCorinthians 13.
\nDefinition of love. <\/p>\n

465
\n00:26:57,100 –> 00:26:59,400
\nLove is kind.
\nLove is patient. <\/p>\n

466
\n00:27:00,300 –> 00:27:04,500
\nOver and over again, patients,
\nthis incredible, quality of <\/p>\n

467
\n00:27:04,500 –> 00:27:07,400
\nwaiting for the Salvation of the
\nLord and Rachel couldn’t do it. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:27:08,700 –> 00:27:12,400
\nAnd it’s built into Dan and Dan
\ncannot wait for God’s. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:27:12,400 –> 00:27:15,300
\nWill, to be worked out the very
\nessence when it comes down to <\/p>\n

470
\n00:27:15,300 –> 00:27:17,300
\nthe crunch with the Lord.
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n

471
\n00:27:17,300 –> 00:27:20,400
\nWhat is it that he’s tested on
\nin the garden? <\/p>\n

472
\n00:27:21,200 –> 00:27:27,000
\nIt all comes down to this that
\nyour will may be done and not <\/p>\n

473
\n00:27:27,000 –> 00:27:29,300
\nmine.
\nThat was the essence of the <\/p>\n

474
\n00:27:29,300 –> 00:27:32,100
\ntest.
\nAnd so, when we go and have a <\/p>\n

475
\n00:27:32,108 –> 00:27:37,400
\nlook at the, the nation of Dan
\nthe tribe that was born out of <\/p>\n

476
\n00:27:37,400 –> 00:27:40,000
\nthe spirit.
\nWe’re not surprised that we find<\/p>\n

477
\n00:27:40,300 –> 00:27:43,500
\nthat they called the, the city
\nthat was the capital of Dan <\/p>\n

478
\n00:27:43,500 –> 00:27:46,300
\nafter the name of Dan, he was
\ntheir leader. <\/p>\n

479
\n00:27:46,300 –> 00:27:48,400
\nSo, let’s call it down.
\nHe’s going to be our judge. <\/p>\n

480
\n00:27:49,200 –> 00:27:52,600
\nAnd they, they the children, it
\nsays, verse 30 of Dan sets up <\/p>\n

481
\n00:27:52,600 –> 00:27:56,100
\nfor themselves, a carved image,
\nand Jonathan, the son of <\/p>\n

482
\n00:27:56,100 –> 00:27:58,500
\ngershom, the son of Vanessa.
\nAnd his sons were priests to the<\/p>\n

483
\n00:27:58,500 –> 00:28:01,600
\ntribe of Dan until the day of
\nthe Captivity and I set up for <\/p>\n

484
\n00:28:01,600 –> 00:28:05,600
\nthemselves Marcus cough image,
\nwhich he made all the time that <\/p>\n

485
\n00:28:05,600 –> 00:28:07,500
\nthe house of God was in China.
\nWhat do they do? <\/p>\n

486
\n00:28:09,000 –> 00:28:10,900
\nThey decided, you know what?
\nWe still want to worship? <\/p>\n

487
\n00:28:11,000 –> 00:28:13,600
\nYes, we still believe in God, we
\nwere seeing this. <\/p>\n

488
\n00:28:13,700 –> 00:28:15,500
\nWhat did you call?
\nIt was a better word. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:28:15,500 –> 00:28:19,700
\nSeen Chris, was it syncretism
\nbeautiful word syncretism? <\/p>\n

490
\n00:28:20,100 –> 00:28:23,000
\nThey mixed what work for them
\ntogether, what? <\/p>\n

491
\n00:28:23,000 –> 00:28:26,600
\nLooked like Devon and godly
\nworship, own priesthood. <\/p>\n

492
\n00:28:26,600 –> 00:28:29,400
\nStill got a priesthood, we’ve
\ngot places to worship, don’t <\/p>\n

493
\n00:28:29,400 –> 00:28:32,500
\nneed to go down to Shiloh.
\nLet’s, let’s mix what God has <\/p>\n

494
\n00:28:32,500 –> 00:28:36,000
\ngiven us, but that which is
\ninconvenient will take out And <\/p>\n

495
\n00:28:36,000 –> 00:28:39,400
\npresented back as something
\nacceptable. <\/p>\n

496
\n00:28:40,400 –> 00:28:41,800
\nYou see what’s so powerful
\nabout? <\/p>\n

497
\n00:28:41,800 –> 00:28:44,800
\nThis isn’t just a normal sin,
\nGod can deal with those. <\/p>\n

498
\n00:28:44,800 –> 00:28:46,700
\nHe’s promised us that he will
\nwash them away. <\/p>\n

499
\n00:28:46,900 –> 00:28:52,100
\nThis cannot be dealt with, you
\nwon’t be amongst Revelation <\/p>\n

500
\n00:28:52,100 –> 00:28:57,200
\nchapter 7 with this condition.
\nThose who swear by the sin of <\/p>\n

501
\n00:28:57,200 –> 00:28:59,800
\nSumeria who say as your God
\nLives. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:28:59,800 –> 00:29:01,800
\nOh Dan?
\nAnd as the way of Beersheba, <\/p>\n

503
\n00:29:02,000 –> 00:29:06,700
\nthey shall fall and look what it
\nsays and never rise again. <\/p>\n

504
\n00:29:07,500 –> 00:29:11,400
\nIn this state in this state,
\nwhat is called the city of <\/p>\n

505
\n00:29:11,400 –> 00:29:13,600
\nSamaria.
\nWhen you have given yourself <\/p>\n

506
\n00:29:13,600 –> 00:29:19,300
\nover to independence from God,
\nself-reliance autonomy, driving <\/p>\n

507
\n00:29:19,300 –> 00:29:23,000
\nyour own judgments.
\nThere is no place, you shall <\/p>\n

508
\n00:29:23,000 –> 00:29:25,700
\nnever rise again.
\nSo in summary, we have This, <\/p>\n

509
\n00:29:26,000 –> 00:29:32,200
\nthis wonderful message coming to
\nus from this little meditation, <\/p>\n

510
\n00:29:32,800 –> 00:29:34,600
\nlearning to submit our will to
\nGod. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:29:34,600 –> 00:29:37,700
\nWe’ve got to understand in our
\ndaily living that that he is the<\/p>\n

512
\n00:29:37,700 –> 00:29:39,800
\nPotter.
\nWe are the clay and how often we<\/p>\n

513
\n00:29:39,800 –> 00:29:41,700
\nwant to resist him.
\nWe’re impatient. <\/p>\n

514
\n00:29:41,700 –> 00:29:44,000
\nWe’re not willing to let them
\nwork with us. <\/p>\n

515
\n00:29:44,500 –> 00:29:46,700
\nPatiently waiting for his will
\nto be done. <\/p>\n

516
\n00:29:48,400 –> 00:29:51,700
\nThere’s no places there for the
\nspirit of Dan in the sealed of <\/p>\n

517
\n00:29:51,700 –> 00:29:54,300
\nGod.
\nGod, God cannot the one thing he<\/p>\n

518
\n00:29:54,300 –> 00:29:57,800
\nwill not and cannot do is cure
\nself Vindication. <\/p>\n

519
\n00:29:58,400 –> 00:30:02,400
\nAnd so, let’s be aware of that.
\nThere is an abundant entry. <\/p>\n

520
\n00:30:02,700 –> 00:30:04,600
\nWe’re being taught in
\nRevelation, chapter 7, and <\/p>\n

521
\n00:30:04,600 –> 00:30:07,800
\nabundant entry into the kingdom
\nfor all of us, and that’s an <\/p>\n

522
\n00:30:07,800 –> 00:30:10,100
\ninspiration.
\nAnd that’s an encouragement. <\/p>\n

523
\n00:30:10,500 –> 00:30:14,800
\nExcept if we refuse to submit
\nour will, if we make our <\/p>\n

524
\n00:30:14,800 –> 00:30:19,200
\njudgments God’s judgments, if we
\nchoose not to Wait for the <\/p>\n

525
\n00:30:19,208 –> 00:30:24,700
\nSalvation of God.
\nSo there is a meditation on some<\/p>\n

526
\n00:30:24,700 –> 00:30:27,600
\nnames and some people that we
\ncan go back and listen to The <\/p>\n

527
\n00:30:27,600 –> 00:30:31,700
\nEchoes from the Old Testament.
\nLet’s keep in this theme and I <\/p>\n

528
\n00:30:31,700 –> 00:30:35,900
\nwant to draw your attention to
\nthis passage also very <\/p>\n

529
\n00:30:35,900 –> 00:30:39,100
\nwell-known passage from
\nRevelation, Chapter 2 and verse <\/p>\n

530
\n00:30:39,100 –> 00:30:43,700
\n17.
\nSo let’s read it together, he <\/p>\n

531
\n00:30:43,700 –> 00:30:46,700
\nwho has an ear, let him hear
\nwhat the spirit says, to the <\/p>\n

532
\n00:30:46,700 –> 00:30:50,700
\nchurches to him who overcomes, I
\nwill give some of the Hidden <\/p>\n

533
\n00:30:50,700 –> 00:30:53,300
\nManna to eat.
\nAnd I will give him a white <\/p>\n

534
\n00:30:53,300 –> 00:30:57,500
\nstone and on that stone, a new
\nname written which no one knows <\/p>\n

535
\n00:30:57,700 –> 00:31:02,500
\nexcept him who receives it.
\nSo, thinking again, about Echoes<\/p>\n

536
\n00:31:02,500 –> 00:31:06,100
\nof themes and names in the
\nprevious one, we were looking at<\/p>\n

537
\n00:31:06,100 –> 00:31:08,100
\nthe names of the children of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

538
\n00:31:08,600 –> 00:31:12,300
\nHere, we have direct reference
\nto this name that that’s going <\/p>\n

539
\n00:31:12,300 –> 00:31:15,200
\nto be given to us.
\nThis beautiful idea that we can <\/p>\n

540
\n00:31:15,200 –> 00:31:17,500
\nimagine ourselves.
\nI can picture it. <\/p>\n

541
\n00:31:17,500 –> 00:31:22,200
\nSo so beautifully being there,
\nbeing accepted by Jesus waiting,<\/p>\n

542
\n00:31:22,200 –> 00:31:26,400
\nas he comes to me and he
\npresents me with a white stone. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:31:27,700 –> 00:31:32,500
\nAnd as I grab that watch Stone
\nand I turn it over, it says it <\/p>\n

544
\n00:31:32,500 –> 00:31:37,300
\nhas a new name for me and it’s
\npowerful because it says, you <\/p>\n

545
\n00:31:37,308 –> 00:31:40,000
\nknow, that new name that you’re
\ngoing to get no one else would <\/p>\n

546
\n00:31:40,000 –> 00:31:43,300
\nhave heard of it before.
\nIt’s an interesting thought, you<\/p>\n

547
\n00:31:43,300 –> 00:31:46,000
\nknow, we we often think about
\nthe fact that we have taken on <\/p>\n

548
\n00:31:46,000 –> 00:31:49,400
\nthe name of God.
\nOf course, that’s Central to the<\/p>\n

549
\n00:31:49,400 –> 00:31:52,500
\ngospel message, isn’t it?
\nThis idea that Simeon has <\/p>\n

550
\n00:31:52,500 –> 00:31:55,100
\ndeclared Our God at the first
\nvisit the Gentiles to take out <\/p>\n

551
\n00:31:55,100 –> 00:31:56,600
\nof them.
\nA people for his name. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:31:57,700 –> 00:32:02,100
\nYes, we are called out to Bear
\nthe name of Yahweh, the name of <\/p>\n

553
\n00:32:02,100 –> 00:32:04,300
\nGod, the name that was given to
\nJesus. <\/p>\n

554
\n00:32:04,300 –> 00:32:07,100
\nThat is above every name, but
\nthis is sense in this <\/p>\n

555
\n00:32:07,100 –> 00:32:12,400
\nmeditation.
\nThat there is a new name, a name<\/p>\n

556
\n00:32:12,400 –> 00:32:17,000
\nthat is given to us personally
\nthat no one else knows except <\/p>\n

557
\n00:32:17,000 –> 00:32:21,300
\nhim who receives it.
\nAnd this is where my focus went,<\/p>\n

558
\n00:32:21,300 –> 00:32:22,900
\nthis is where my thought process
\nwent. <\/p>\n

559
\n00:32:22,900 –> 00:32:26,700
\nAs in terms of not just the
\nEchoes that abound throughout <\/p>\n

560
\n00:32:26,700 –> 00:32:30,800
\nthe word of God on names, but
\nthe the idea of giving and <\/p>\n

561
\n00:32:30,800 –> 00:32:35,000
\nreceiving names that that we
\nwill receive a new name. <\/p>\n

562
\n00:32:35,800 –> 00:32:38,300
\nThat seems to be very personal.
\nNow, if we think about names, <\/p>\n

563
\n00:32:38,300 –> 00:32:41,200
\nvery Let’s think about names a
\nvery quickly. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:32:41,700 –> 00:32:44,600
\nWe each have two dimes, some of
\nyou may have more because your <\/p>\n

565
\n00:32:44,600 –> 00:32:47,400
\nparents were feeling generous
\nand have the money to give you <\/p>\n

566
\n00:32:47,400 –> 00:32:50,800
\nmore names, but we at least
\nhopefully, each have two names <\/p>\n

567
\n00:32:51,100 –> 00:32:53,000
\nthat are used to identify us
\nuniquely. <\/p>\n

568
\n00:32:53,600 –> 00:32:55,700
\nWe have our surnames, we call
\nthem. <\/p>\n

569
\n00:32:55,700 –> 00:32:59,100
\nOur family names are second
\nnames and primarily if you think<\/p>\n

570
\n00:32:59,100 –> 00:33:03,400
\nabout your surname, it’s a name
\nthat yes, it identifies you, but<\/p>\n

571
\n00:33:03,400 –> 00:33:06,000
\nit more identifies you in terms
\nof belonging. <\/p>\n

572
\n00:33:07,000 –> 00:33:10,100
\nSo you can tell a lot about
\nsomeone by knowing their Cerner.<\/p>\n

573
\n00:33:10,600 –> 00:33:12,200
\nYou can often tell where they
\ncame from. <\/p>\n

574
\n00:33:12,700 –> 00:33:16,000
\nSo if your surname is slum in,
\nyou probably haven’t heard that <\/p>\n

575
\n00:33:16,000 –> 00:33:17,900
\nin the u.s.a.
\nThat’s a very common surname <\/p>\n

576
\n00:33:17,900 –> 00:33:19,200
\nback.
\nYeah, you will work out. <\/p>\n

577
\n00:33:19,300 –> 00:33:20,900
\nThis chap doesn’t come from the
\nUSA. <\/p>\n

578
\n00:33:20,900 –> 00:33:23,500
\nProbably comes from somewhere
\nelse and I can tell you comes <\/p>\n

579
\n00:33:23,500 –> 00:33:26,800
\nfrom a province, called
\nkwazulu-natal in South Africa. <\/p>\n

580
\n00:33:27,400 –> 00:33:32,500
\nIf the person’s name is Trump,
\nyou probably work out that he <\/p>\n

581
\n00:33:32,500 –> 00:33:34,600
\ncomes from.
\nWhere should I say Russia? <\/p>\n

582
\n00:33:34,800 –> 00:33:35,900
\nRussia must be Russia.
\nYes. <\/p>\n

583
\n00:33:38,600 –> 00:33:43,400
\nBut we can work out a lot from
\nthe surname of the individual, <\/p>\n

584
\n00:33:43,700 –> 00:33:47,300
\nand who they belong to.
\nAnd, in many ways, the name that<\/p>\n

585
\n00:33:47,300 –> 00:33:49,300
\nwe’ve been caught to is our
\nfamily name. <\/p>\n

586
\n00:33:49,700 –> 00:33:53,400
\nWe’re going to belong to the
\nfamily of God, but then we have <\/p>\n

587
\n00:33:53,400 –> 00:33:56,000
\na first name.
\nAnd, you know, our first names <\/p>\n

588
\n00:33:56,000 –> 00:33:58,400
\nare a lot about our
\nindividuality on that. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:33:58,900 –> 00:34:01,600
\nWe associate people’s first
\nnames with their individual <\/p>\n

590
\n00:34:01,600 –> 00:34:04,100
\npersonality traits.
\nThat’s why often if we had a bad<\/p>\n

591
\n00:34:04,100 –> 00:34:05,900
\nexperience with a particular
\nfirst name, and then the wife <\/p>\n

592
\n00:34:05,900 –> 00:34:07,900
\nsays she thought, To call
\nsomeone by that name, I’ll go <\/p>\n

593
\n00:34:08,000 –> 00:34:10,800
\non, touch it.
\nLove to call my child, at off, <\/p>\n

594
\n00:34:11,100 –> 00:34:13,100
\nlike a table.
\nStart working for me. <\/p>\n

595
\n00:34:13,600 –> 00:34:17,400
\nAll right.
\nSo so first names talk to <\/p>\n

596
\n00:34:17,500 –> 00:34:20,400
\nindividualization and and there
\nis an idea. <\/p>\n

597
\n00:34:20,400 –> 00:34:23,100
\nHere isn’t the in Revelation
\nChapter 2 and this meditation <\/p>\n

598
\n00:34:23,100 –> 00:34:27,000
\nthat that although we are called
\nto be one, although we are <\/p>\n

599
\n00:34:27,000 –> 00:34:30,900
\ncalled to bear that one name, we
\nare diverse. <\/p>\n

600
\n00:34:31,699 –> 00:34:34,000
\nAnd me, God is the creator of
\ndiversity. <\/p>\n

601
\n00:34:35,100 –> 00:34:39,100
\nIf that were not true then why
\nis it that every one of us has I<\/p>\n

602
\n00:34:39,199 –> 00:34:42,600
\nabsolutely unique fingerprint
\nand absolutely unique eye and <\/p>\n

603
\n00:34:42,600 –> 00:34:45,900
\nabsolutely unique DNA,
\neverything completely unique. <\/p>\n

604
\n00:34:46,000 –> 00:34:48,500
\nEvery snowflake that falls is
\ncompletely unique. <\/p>\n

605
\n00:34:48,600 –> 00:34:51,800
\nHe is a God that creates
\ndiversity and brings it into <\/p>\n

606
\n00:34:51,800 –> 00:34:56,199
\nUnity not uniformity.
\nSo there’s a sense that that, as<\/p>\n

607
\n00:34:56,199 –> 00:35:01,200
\nan individual You have a name
\nthat fits into your belonging <\/p>\n

608
\n00:35:01,200 –> 00:35:02,900
\nname and I want to explore this
\nidea. <\/p>\n

609
\n00:35:03,000 –> 00:35:05,800
\nThis idea of of first names
\nbecause I think this is what’s <\/p>\n

610
\n00:35:05,800 –> 00:35:08,400
\nbeen captured in Revelation
\nChapter 2. <\/p>\n

611
\n00:35:09,100 –> 00:35:12,700
\nLet’s think quickly about giving
\nand receiving of names. <\/p>\n

612
\n00:35:12,900 –> 00:35:15,800
\nHave you ever noticed this in
\nthe Book of Genesis course <\/p>\n

613
\n00:35:15,800 –> 00:35:19,400
\nyou’ve noticed the passage.
\nThis is our Genesis Gene that <\/p>\n

614
\n00:35:19,400 –> 00:35:22,100
\nthat in the midst of all the
\nintensity of everything that’s <\/p>\n

615
\n00:35:22,100 –> 00:35:25,300
\ngoing on in Genesis and all the
\nthings that are being explained <\/p>\n

616
\n00:35:25,300 –> 00:35:30,800
\nto us it makes so much sense.
\nWe have Curious event where Adam<\/p>\n

617
\n00:35:30,800 –> 00:35:32,700
\nis taken.
\nAnd God says, I’m going to bring<\/p>\n

618
\n00:35:32,700 –> 00:35:35,500
\nthe animals in front of you and
\nyou can name them, and he gets <\/p>\n

619
\n00:35:35,500 –> 00:35:38,300
\nto name all of the beautiful
\nanimals of God. <\/p>\n

620
\n00:35:39,200 –> 00:35:43,100
\nWhy did God do that?
\nAnd why is it recorded for us? <\/p>\n

621
\n00:35:43,600 –> 00:35:47,100
\nIt’s the first time that name
\nappears in the Bible, Adam <\/p>\n

622
\n00:35:47,100 –> 00:35:50,300
\ncalled them every living
\ncreature, the name that he would<\/p>\n

623
\n00:35:50,300 –> 00:35:53,500
\ngive them and such was his name.
\nThe first time it appears. <\/p>\n

624
\n00:35:53,600 –> 00:35:55,200
\nSo there’s, there’s a DNA in
\nthis. <\/p>\n

625
\n00:35:55,200 –> 00:35:57,700
\nThere’s something for us to
\nunderstand, I want to put it to <\/p>\n

626
\n00:35:57,700 –> 00:36:01,100
\nyou.
\nThis you see that the <\/p>\n

627
\n00:36:01,100 –> 00:36:03,900
\ncharacteristic of God that we
\noften don’t talk about, but it <\/p>\n

628
\n00:36:03,900 –> 00:36:07,900
\nis the very first thing we learn
\nabout God, is that he is <\/p>\n

629
\n00:36:07,900 –> 00:36:12,000
\ncreative.
\nThe first thing we re in the <\/p>\n

630
\n00:36:12,008 –> 00:36:17,400
\nbeginning God created, he’s a
\ncreative God, he’s Innovative. <\/p>\n

631
\n00:36:17,400 –> 00:36:20,700
\nHe’s about making things, and
\nthat’s what he did. <\/p>\n

632
\n00:36:20,700 –> 00:36:23,700
\nHe made the whole earth and this
\nbeautiful landscape that we’re <\/p>\n

633
\n00:36:23,700 –> 00:36:28,100
\nenjoying this week and in a
\nsense, what did he do? <\/p>\n

634
\n00:36:28,700 –> 00:36:32,900
\nHe created this incredible
\nfabric of creation and he makes <\/p>\n

635
\n00:36:32,900 –> 00:36:36,800
\none part of that creation
\nspecial with the ability to also<\/p>\n

636
\n00:36:36,800 –> 00:36:39,600
\ncreate with the intellect and
\nthe power. <\/p>\n

637
\n00:36:39,700 –> 00:36:42,300
\nThe free.
\nWhoa to also be creative. <\/p>\n

638
\n00:36:42,300 –> 00:36:45,400
\nIt’s what’s unique about humans?
\nCompared to the rest of the <\/p>\n

639
\n00:36:45,400 –> 00:36:48,500
\ncreation and the way that he
\ndemonstrates, that that’s what <\/p>\n

640
\n00:36:48,500 –> 00:36:51,400
\nhe wants is he says to Adam, you
\nknow what, I’ve done this <\/p>\n

641
\n00:36:51,400 –> 00:36:53,200
\ncreation but I want you to
\nfinish it off. <\/p>\n

642
\n00:36:53,800 –> 00:36:56,300
\nYou guys often the honor and the
\nprivilege. <\/p>\n

643
\n00:36:56,300 –> 00:36:59,800
\nIf you’ve a scientist and you
\ndiscover something new, it’s the<\/p>\n

644
\n00:36:59,800 –> 00:37:02,900
\nhonor and the privilege of the
\nscientists to be able to name. <\/p>\n

645
\n00:37:03,300 –> 00:37:08,800
\nIt is the privilege of the the
\nthe Creator to name that which <\/p>\n

646
\n00:37:08,800 –> 00:37:12,400
\nis created.
\nSo we get the privilege when we <\/p>\n

647
\n00:37:12,400 –> 00:37:16,300
\ngive birth to a baby as the mom
\nand dad have been heavily <\/p>\n

648
\n00:37:16,300 –> 00:37:18,800
\ninvolved in the creative part to
\nname the job. <\/p>\n

649
\n00:37:19,300 –> 00:37:22,000
\nWe wouldn’t feel very good if we
\nadd the child, then some person <\/p>\n

650
\n00:37:22,000 –> 00:37:25,300
\nthe doctor walks in and says, oh
\nthis looks like an author and <\/p>\n

651
\n00:37:25,300 –> 00:37:28,900
\ngives the name and so it is when
\nsomeone discovers a news and you<\/p>\n

652
\n00:37:28,900 –> 00:37:32,100
\nstar or some new discovery they
\nname it. <\/p>\n

653
\n00:37:32,200 –> 00:37:33,600
\nIt’s a part of the creative
\nprocess. <\/p>\n

654
\n00:37:34,700 –> 00:37:40,400
\nAnd I think this idea that that
\nname giving is given to Adam is <\/p>\n

655
\n00:37:40,400 –> 00:37:44,400
\nreally God saying I’ve called
\nyou to be a co-creator with me. <\/p>\n

656
\n00:37:45,600 –> 00:37:47,800
\nThe first commandment he ever
\ngot the first words he ever <\/p>\n

657
\n00:37:47,800 –> 00:37:51,000
\nspoke to man, be fruitful and
\nmultiply we are called not just <\/p>\n

658
\n00:37:51,000 –> 00:37:55,300
\nsit back not to to hold on to
\nthe very little that we have. <\/p>\n

659
\n00:37:56,400 –> 00:37:58,800
\nGod says, I want you to grow, I
\nwant you to be abundant, but I <\/p>\n

660
\n00:37:58,800 –> 00:38:04,000
\nwant you to grow in supporting
\nmy creative work, understanding <\/p>\n

661
\n00:38:04,000 –> 00:38:06,400
\nthat you have to create together
\nwith me, the idea of <\/p>\n

662
\n00:38:06,400 –> 00:38:08,400
\nco-creation.
\nNow, this is a very important <\/p>\n

663
\n00:38:08,400 –> 00:38:11,800
\nInsight, especially, for me.
\nIt teaches us that in every part<\/p>\n

664
\n00:38:11,800 –> 00:38:17,700
\nof our life, we have a way to,
\nto live out our calling, whether<\/p>\n

665
\n00:38:17,700 –> 00:38:23,400
\nit be at work, whether it be in
\nin our relaxation, Tom, whether <\/p>\n

666
\n00:38:23,400 –> 00:38:26,000
\nit be in the family, we are
\nbeing called to use. <\/p>\n

667
\n00:38:26,200 –> 00:38:29,500
\nCreativity to ultimately move
\nhis plan for it. <\/p>\n

668
\n00:38:30,100 –> 00:38:31,600
\nAnd that’s what he was calling
\nAdam to do. <\/p>\n

669
\n00:38:32,800 –> 00:38:36,600
\nNow, if you think I’m making too
\nmuch of that when, when the <\/p>\n

670
\n00:38:36,600 –> 00:38:40,700
\nfirst human is named, who was
\ngiven the right to name the <\/p>\n

671
\n00:38:40,700 –> 00:38:44,100
\nfirst human?
\nWell, the often the the <\/p>\n

672
\n00:38:44,100 –> 00:38:47,600
\nspontaneous answers.
\nWell that was God because the <\/p>\n

673
\n00:38:47,600 –> 00:38:52,200
\nfirst human named is Adam and if
\nI have my slides up there, I’d <\/p>\n

674
\n00:38:52,200 –> 00:38:54,900
\nbe able to show you that
\nactually Adam never received the<\/p>\n

675
\n00:38:54,908 –> 00:38:58,600
\nname.
\nOkay, so Adam, who we know, as <\/p>\n

676
\n00:38:58,600 –> 00:39:03,100
\nAdam in fact, all that is is the
\nHebrew word that describes the <\/p>\n

677
\n00:39:03,100 –> 00:39:07,000
\ncreation of, man.
\nIn fact, when we first have the,<\/p>\n

678
\n00:39:07,300 –> 00:39:11,400
\nthe now use my little glasses.
\nWhen we first find, Adam <\/p>\n

679
\n00:39:11,400 –> 00:39:15,000
\nmentioned, think his first name
\nis mentioned. <\/p>\n

680
\n00:39:15,000 –> 00:39:16,700
\nIf you have your Bibles, you’ll
\npick it up. <\/p>\n

681
\n00:39:17,100 –> 00:39:21,000
\nHis name is first, mentioned in
\nGenesis 2, verse 19, the first <\/p>\n

682
\n00:39:21,000 –> 00:39:22,800
\ntime he’s called Adam.
\nIf you got the King James <\/p>\n

683
\n00:39:22,800 –> 00:39:27,500
\nversion Genesis 219, do you know
\nthat the Word has been used, non<\/p>\n

684
\n00:39:27,500 –> 00:39:31,000
\nThomas before that.
\nCha States has just decided at <\/p>\n

685
\n00:39:31,000 –> 00:39:32,300
\nsome point, we’ll just use the
\nHebrew. <\/p>\n

686
\n00:39:32,900 –> 00:39:34,800
\nSo in actual fact to be
\nconsistent do you think just <\/p>\n

687
\n00:39:34,800 –> 00:39:38,200
\nkeep calling a man?
\nThe man, the man, so the word <\/p>\n

688
\n00:39:38,200 –> 00:39:41,200
\nname and you can check it is
\nnever used that guard named him.<\/p>\n

689
\n00:39:41,200 –> 00:39:42,900
\nAdam.
\nI think that’s important because<\/p>\n

690
\n00:39:42,900 –> 00:39:46,900
\nthe first human ever night, he’s
\nin fact, Eve, and that’s <\/p>\n

691
\n00:39:46,900 –> 00:39:51,000
\nrecorded for us in Genesis 3,
\nverse 20, Adam called his wife’s<\/p>\n

692
\n00:39:51,200 –> 00:39:55,400
\nname, Eve, you see?
\nThis is consistent. <\/p>\n

693
\n00:39:55,600 –> 00:39:59,100
\nGod has given name giving two
\nmen. <\/p>\n

694
\n00:40:00,500 –> 00:40:03,700
\nAnd it’s interesting that the
\nnames that are then given when <\/p>\n

695
\n00:40:03,700 –> 00:40:06,600
\nhe gives her the name, Evie
\nsays, she shall be the mother of<\/p>\n

696
\n00:40:06,600 –> 00:40:08,800
\nall living.
\nIn other words, the name was to <\/p>\n

697
\n00:40:08,800 –> 00:40:12,800
\ncapture the way that person was
\ngoing to be a part of God’s <\/p>\n

698
\n00:40:12,800 –> 00:40:15,000
\ngreat creative process.
\nShe was going to be the <\/p>\n

699
\n00:40:15,000 –> 00:40:17,100
\nbeginning of creating living
\npeople. <\/p>\n

700
\n00:40:18,400 –> 00:40:21,600
\nAnd who do you think gave the
\nname to the first human ever <\/p>\n

701
\n00:40:21,600 –> 00:40:24,400
\nborn?
\nOf course, it was Adam and Eve. <\/p>\n

702
\n00:40:24,500 –> 00:40:27,200
\nAnd the first human ever born
\nwas Cain and they gave him his <\/p>\n

703
\n00:40:27,200 –> 00:40:31,100
\nname and his name actually was a
\npart of the idea. <\/p>\n

704
\n00:40:31,200 –> 00:40:35,000
\nIt actually means position.
\nIt means possession, it’s quite <\/p>\n

705
\n00:40:35,000 –> 00:40:39,000
\ninteresting when, when Eve
\nnames, akane and Genesis for <\/p>\n

706
\n00:40:39,000 –> 00:40:43,500
\nburst, once you said I have
\ncreated a man, just as the Lord <\/p>\n

707
\n00:40:44,600 –> 00:40:48,200
\nShe’s starting to work out.
\nThat this idea of, of creativity<\/p>\n

708
\n00:40:48,200 –> 00:40:51,300
\nis a part of our calling.
\nThe very fact that I could have <\/p>\n

709
\n00:40:51,300 –> 00:40:54,200
\nchildren, even saying, is
\ndemonstration that. <\/p>\n

710
\n00:40:54,200 –> 00:40:59,000
\nI’m a co-creator with God.
\nAnd she was able to name him as <\/p>\n

711
\n00:40:59,000 –> 00:41:01,100
\ndemonstration of it.
\nBut there’s something in the <\/p>\n

712
\n00:41:01,100 –> 00:41:04,300
\nwords of Eve that that catches
\nour attention. <\/p>\n

713
\n00:41:04,700 –> 00:41:07,300
\nI have created a man just as the
\nLord did. <\/p>\n

714
\n00:41:08,700 –> 00:41:10,200
\nAnd here’s the edge brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n

715
\n00:41:10,400 –> 00:41:12,400
\nIt seems so simple.
\nDoesn’t it? <\/p>\n

716
\n00:41:12,900 –> 00:41:16,500
\nThat that on the one hand we
\nhave to rely on God, but you <\/p>\n

717
\n00:41:16,500 –> 00:41:18,900
\nsaid God is calling us to be
\ncreative. <\/p>\n

718
\n00:41:18,900 –> 00:41:22,800
\nHe’s calling us to multiply,
\nhe’s calling us to be abundant, <\/p>\n

719
\n00:41:22,900 –> 00:41:27,600
\nhe’s calling us to be named
\ngivers but in that process there<\/p>\n

720
\n00:41:27,600 –> 00:41:33,000
\nis the risk that we become name.
\nBuilders in that process, we <\/p>\n

721
\n00:41:33,000 –> 00:41:36,800
\nbecome not co-creators but self
\ncreators. <\/p>\n

722
\n00:41:37,200 –> 00:41:38,900
\nAnd as we follow the theme of
\nJames. <\/p>\n

723
\n00:41:38,900 –> 00:41:41,600
\nIt doesn’t take long before we
\nget to the Tower of Babel and <\/p>\n

724
\n00:41:41,600 –> 00:41:46,800
\nwhat do they say?
\nLet us make a name for ourselves<\/p>\n

725
\n00:41:47,500 –> 00:41:50,300
\nand so they go from being named
\nCaboose demonstrated, the <\/p>\n

726
\n00:41:50,300 –> 00:41:54,700
\nco-creative role that we have
\nbeen caught, 22 name, givers and<\/p>\n

727
\n00:41:54,700 –> 00:41:59,300
\nname, builders And and then we
\ncome to to the next <\/p>\n

728
\n00:41:59,300 –> 00:42:02,400
\nmanifestation of Babylon that we
\nwere talking earlier and we come<\/p>\n

729
\n00:42:02,400 –> 00:42:05,400
\nto that incredible passage that
\nI think you will know. <\/p>\n

730
\n00:42:05,400 –> 00:42:07,600
\nWell you don’t even need to see
\nit in the screen. <\/p>\n

731
\n00:42:08,000 –> 00:42:12,000
\nWhen Nebuchadnezzar stands on
\nthe same planes, where they <\/p>\n

732
\n00:42:12,000 –> 00:42:14,200
\nbuilt the Tower of Babel, where
\nthey had built a name for <\/p>\n

733
\n00:42:14,200 –> 00:42:17,600
\nthemselves.
\nAnd, and captures, the very, the<\/p>\n

734
\n00:42:17,607 –> 00:42:22,700
\nvery Spirit of Babylon when he
\nsays, is not this great Babylon,<\/p>\n

735
\n00:42:22,900 –> 00:42:28,200
\nwhich I have built by the power
\nof my might and for Honor of my <\/p>\n

736
\n00:42:28,800 –> 00:42:32,000
\nname.
\nYou see you see what has <\/p>\n

737
\n00:42:32,000 –> 00:42:36,000
\nhappened yet?
\nIs is Nebuchadnezzar has has <\/p>\n

738
\n00:42:36,000 –> 00:42:39,900
\nlost contact with the cause of
\ncreation. <\/p>\n

739
\n00:42:39,900 –> 00:42:43,900
\nYou see as co-creators we never
\nlose sight that he is the cause <\/p>\n

740
\n00:42:43,900 –> 00:42:47,700
\nwe purely have a fabric, he’s
\ngiven us this incredible Fabric <\/p>\n

741
\n00:42:47,700 –> 00:42:50,000
\nand all we doing is putting the
\nfinishing touches fishing <\/p>\n

742
\n00:42:50,000 –> 00:42:54,300
\ntouches, but when we lose sight
\nof the cause of our creativity, <\/p>\n

743
\n00:42:55,000 –> 00:42:56,500
\nwe will lose sight of the
\npurpose. <\/p>\n

744
\n00:42:57,200 –> 00:42:58,700
\nSo they begin is a looks at
\nGreat Babylons. <\/p>\n

745
\n00:42:58,700 –> 00:43:00,900
\nThis is not this great Babylon
\nthat I have built by the power <\/p>\n

746
\n00:43:00,900 –> 00:43:03,200
\nof my mind.
\nAnd therefore, for my honor, <\/p>\n

747
\n00:43:04,200 –> 00:43:08,300
\nWhat a great lesson, you know,
\nDavid I think picks up on this <\/p>\n

748
\n00:43:08,300 –> 00:43:12,900
\nidea, David spends so much time,
\ndoesn’t he in the Psalms? <\/p>\n

749
\n00:43:12,900 –> 00:43:17,400
\nHe tells us to constantly?
\nBe reminded that all that we see<\/p>\n

750
\n00:43:17,400 –> 00:43:21,800
\nout there is a reminder that he
\nis the cause of all creativity. <\/p>\n

751
\n00:43:22,300 –> 00:43:25,300
\nEverything that you’ve ever
\nachieved is only because he gave<\/p>\n

752
\n00:43:25,300 –> 00:43:28,200
\nyou it to work with.
\nSo he looks upon the stars and <\/p>\n

753
\n00:43:28,200 –> 00:43:31,600
\nand looks at the heavens and
\nbeholds, the glory of God, the <\/p>\n

754
\n00:43:31,600 –> 00:43:35,700
\nhandiwork of God and because
\nDavid Always understood that God<\/p>\n

755
\n00:43:35,700 –> 00:43:40,000
\nwas the cause of creativity, he
\ntherefore understood that he was<\/p>\n

756
\n00:43:40,000 –> 00:43:42,500
\nthe purpose.
\nIn other words, it was always to<\/p>\n

757
\n00:43:42,500 –> 00:43:45,300
\nhis glory.
\nThat was why when David brought <\/p>\n

758
\n00:43:45,300 –> 00:43:47,700
\nthe Ark of the Covenant into
\nJerusalem? <\/p>\n

759
\n00:43:48,200 –> 00:43:51,200
\nThe first thing he did as it
\ncame, as a manifestation of the <\/p>\n

760
\n00:43:51,200 –> 00:43:54,800
\nglory of God, is he took off his
\ncrown, he took up his Royal robe<\/p>\n

761
\n00:43:54,900 –> 00:43:58,600
\nso that he could say, here is
\nthe purpose of creativity? <\/p>\n

762
\n00:43:58,700 –> 00:44:02,700
\nHere is where the glory belongs,
\nbecause his wife marker, looked <\/p>\n

763
\n00:44:02,700 –> 00:44:04,200
\nat that.
\nAnd she couldn’t see what He was<\/p>\n

764
\n00:44:04,200 –> 00:44:08,100
\ndoing, you have made yourself as
\none of the vulgar ones because <\/p>\n

765
\n00:44:08,100 –> 00:44:12,000
\nyou have humbled yourself in the
\nsight of the Communists. <\/p>\n

766
\n00:44:14,200 –> 00:44:19,400
\nSo when we look to ourselves and
\nwe understand that we are called<\/p>\n

767
\n00:44:19,600 –> 00:44:23,400
\nto be named givers to be
\nco-creators and yet in doing <\/p>\n

768
\n00:44:23,400 –> 00:44:29,400
\nthat as we gain success, as we
\nget the satisfaction that God, <\/p>\n

769
\n00:44:29,400 –> 00:44:32,000
\nalways intended you to have in
\ncreativity. <\/p>\n

770
\n00:44:32,600 –> 00:44:36,700
\nAs we start to get, perhaps some
\neconomics behind our name. <\/p>\n

771
\n00:44:37,500 –> 00:44:41,000
\nPerhaps is at the end of your
\nname, PhD, be calm, or whatever <\/p>\n

772
\n00:44:41,000 –> 00:44:43,200
\nit is or perhaps it’s at the
\nfront of your name. <\/p>\n

773
\n00:44:43,200 –> 00:44:46,000
\nDoctor Sir?
\nAnd we begin to build the <\/p>\n

774
\n00:44:46,000 –> 00:44:50,500
\nTemptation, is we become brand
\nbuilders that the Legacy moves <\/p>\n

775
\n00:44:50,500 –> 00:44:54,100
\nfrom being a legacy for God?
\nBut a legacy for ourselves and <\/p>\n

776
\n00:44:54,100 –> 00:44:56,600
\nwe’re on Facebook, and we’re on
\nLinkedIn, and we can Google <\/p>\n

777
\n00:44:56,600 –> 00:45:00,600
\nourselves and our name gets
\nbigger and bigger until such <\/p>\n

778
\n00:45:00,600 –> 00:45:06,900
\ntime, as we have the spirit of
\nBabylon in each and every one of<\/p>\n

779
\n00:45:06,900 –> 00:45:10,300
\nus.
\nSo I think the lesson is very <\/p>\n

780
\n00:45:10,300 –> 00:45:15,900
\nclear brothers and sisters.
\nIt is for us to understand that <\/p>\n

781
\n00:45:15,900 –> 00:45:19,900
\nhe gave us the opportunity.
\nHe gave us the blessing of being<\/p>\n

782
\n00:45:19,900 –> 00:45:23,700
\nco-creators so that we could
\nfinish his creation. <\/p>\n

783
\n00:45:24,400 –> 00:45:28,600
\nBut you know what, ultimately,
\nhe wants to give you that first <\/p>\n

784
\n00:45:28,600 –> 00:45:31,400
\nname that your mom and dad gave
\nyou, he wants to change it. <\/p>\n

785
\n00:45:31,400 –> 00:45:35,400
\nHe wants to complete his
\nCreation in you and we know <\/p>\n

786
\n00:45:35,400 –> 00:45:37,400
\nthat’s true from revelation.
\n2:7. <\/p>\n

787
\n00:45:37,600 –> 00:45:40,600
\nWe read in On one, this this
\nbeautiful passage when John Was <\/p>\n

788
\n00:45:40,600 –> 00:45:44,300
\npreparing, the message of the
\nGospel he says, but as many as <\/p>\n

789
\n00:45:44,300 –> 00:45:48,500
\nreceived him to them, he gave
\nthe right to become the children<\/p>\n

790
\n00:45:48,500 –> 00:45:50,900
\nof God.
\nIn those, who believe in his <\/p>\n

791
\n00:45:50,900 –> 00:45:53,900
\nname, who were born?
\nNot of blood, nor of the will of<\/p>\n

792
\n00:45:53,900 –> 00:45:56,000
\nthe flesh, nor of the will of,
\nman. <\/p>\n

793
\n00:45:56,000 –> 00:46:01,100
\nBut of God, you see, it’s not
\nabout whether we choose. <\/p>\n

794
\n00:46:01,100 –> 00:46:05,500
\nIt’s about whether we receive
\nHe’s chosen to give you a new <\/p>\n

795
\n00:46:05,500 –> 00:46:07,100
\nname, he’s waiting to give it to
\nyou. <\/p>\n

796
\n00:46:07,300 –> 00:46:09,200
\nYou will receive run from your
\nparents. <\/p>\n

797
\n00:46:09,200 –> 00:46:12,800
\nIt wasn’t by your will not by
\nthe will of man or by flesh. <\/p>\n

798
\n00:46:12,800 –> 00:46:15,000
\nYou just got it.
\nYou can’t even complain about <\/p>\n

799
\n00:46:15,000 –> 00:46:15,800
\nit.
\nI know some people like to <\/p>\n

800
\n00:46:15,808 –> 00:46:17,500
\nchange their names, but that’s
\nit. <\/p>\n

801
\n00:46:17,900 –> 00:46:21,600
\nHe says, but I am willing to
\ngive you a new name. <\/p>\n

802
\n00:46:22,400 –> 00:46:26,000
\nI’m willing to give it to you,
\nbut you need to want to receive <\/p>\n

803
\n00:46:26,000 –> 00:46:28,400
\nit.
\nYou need to be ready to give up <\/p>\n

804
\n00:46:28,400 –> 00:46:30,200
\nall that.
\nYou’ve achieved behind your <\/p>\n

805
\n00:46:30,200 –> 00:46:33,200
\nfirst name here.
\nAnd you know what I believe. <\/p>\n

806
\n00:46:34,200 –> 00:46:37,600
\nI believe that when we were in
\nthe Kingdom with him, and he <\/p>\n

807
\n00:46:37,600 –> 00:46:41,500
\ngives us that watch stone, that,
\nthat new name, that’s recorded. <\/p>\n

808
\n00:46:41,500 –> 00:46:46,400
\nThey will summarize everything
\nthat we did all of our talents, <\/p>\n

809
\n00:46:46,400 –> 00:46:50,100
\nall of our skills that
\nco-created with him, that helped<\/p>\n

810
\n00:46:50,100 –> 00:46:52,500
\nus each person.
\nNeed to do something to forward <\/p>\n

811
\n00:46:52,500 –> 00:46:55,500
\nhis master plan.
\nAnd that is why when you turn <\/p>\n

812
\n00:46:55,500 –> 00:46:59,200
\nthat stone over and you read
\nthat name though, nobody else <\/p>\n

813
\n00:46:59,200 –> 00:47:01,300
\nwill know it because they never
\ncalled you by that name. <\/p>\n

814
\n00:47:01,400 –> 00:47:03,600
\nThey called you Harold, they
\ncalled you Cameron. <\/p>\n

815
\n00:47:04,800 –> 00:47:08,900
\nThere is a name that God will
\ngive that summarizes everything <\/p>\n

816
\n00:47:08,900 –> 00:47:12,100
\nyou ever did to co-create with
\nhim. <\/p>\n

817
\n00:47:12,800 –> 00:47:15,500
\nAnd to me, that is so
\ninspirational because today <\/p>\n

818
\n00:47:15,600 –> 00:47:20,500
\nwe’re working on that new name
\nand we need to hold on to it and<\/p>\n

819
\n00:47:20,500 –> 00:47:23,100
\nmake sure we don’t.
\nHold on to the name that we were<\/p>\n

820
\n00:47:23,100 –> 00:47:26,300
\ngiven by our parents.
\nSo may God bless you as you <\/p>\n

\nof Revelation. <\/p>\n
