Class 3 from this series was used in GCT Episode 197<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:02,800 –> 00:00:05,200
\nBible School.
\nOur second period teachers for <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:05,200 –> 00:00:07,800
\nthe dev Ram.
\nSRI Ram is jeannot topic. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:07,800 –> 00:00:12,100
\nIs the whole duty of man.
\nToday’s topic is fear and obey. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:12,100 –> 00:00:17,400
\nGod rather deaf Well, the last
\nclass, it’s always a little bit <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:17,700 –> 00:00:20,900
\nsad, isn’t it?
\nBut at the same time, we look <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:20,900 –> 00:00:23,800
\nforward to seeing our home,
\nseeing our loved ones back home.<\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:24,400 –> 00:00:27,200
\nSo there’s that to balance
\nthings out, right? <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:28,000 –> 00:00:34,200
\nSo we will start then at the
\nbeginning of chapter 10, And the<\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:34,200 –> 00:00:35,900
\nbeginning of chapter 10, we have
\nwritten. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:37,400 –> 00:00:41,700
\nDead flies cause the ointment of
\nthe Apothecary to send forth a <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:41,708 –> 00:00:45,000
\nstinking saver.
\nThat’s hard for us to relate to <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:45,008 –> 00:00:48,600
\nbecause you think of leaving
\nsome Jurgens on a saucer in your<\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:48,600 –> 00:00:51,300
\nbathroom.
\nIf a fly fell in it, nothing <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:51,300 –> 00:00:54,500
\nwould happen.
\nBut in those days, when <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:54,900 –> 00:01:00,200
\npointment was made the way it
\nwas made, if a fly fell in there<\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:00,200 –> 00:01:03,600
\nwould be rapid deterioration and
\nit would smell pretty bad, <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:03,600 –> 00:01:06,400
\npretty quickly.
\nSo, something that was intended <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:06,400 –> 00:01:10,000
\nto make you smell good would
\nactually not have that effect. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:10,900 –> 00:01:12,500
\nAnd what are you saying, is
\nthis? <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:13,700 –> 00:01:18,500
\nJust like that little fly
\nfalling into a vat or a <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:18,500 –> 00:01:22,100
\ncontainer of ointment can make
\nthe whole thing smell bad. <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:22,800 –> 00:01:29,000
\nSo a little Folly and the
\nrevised version says, so Dolph a<\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:29,008 –> 00:01:33,100
\nlittle falling out way wisdom
\nand honor. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:34,900 –> 00:01:40,300
\nOkay.
\nNow, we have in our community, <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:41,300 –> 00:01:45,700
\nThe Cult of the speaker.
\nThere’s something we need to be <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:45,700 –> 00:01:49,500
\non guard against because
\nspeakers are not different to us<\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:50,300 –> 00:01:54,100
\nspeakers have as big, a circus
\nin their personal lives as you <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:54,100 –> 00:01:57,300
\ndo in yours.
\nThere is as much Brokenness <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:57,300 –> 00:02:01,500
\nthere is, as much challenge,
\nsometimes even more because <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:01,500 –> 00:02:04,000
\nthey’re our speaker.
\nWho are they going to tell their<\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:04,000 –> 00:02:07,300
\nproblems to your speaker?
\nYou’re supposed to be that the <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:07,300 –> 00:02:10,400
\nto do, whatever comes after that
\nand the Ellipsis, right? <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:11,300 –> 00:02:15,600
\nThe fact of the matter is this
\nThe only difference between a <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:15,600 –> 00:02:19,800
\nspeaker and everyone else is
\nthere up there, speaking to you <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:20,000 –> 00:02:22,100
\nabout something.
\nThey’ve done a little bit of <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:22,100 –> 00:02:24,400
\nstudy on, it’s not that they’ve
\nlived. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:24,400 –> 00:02:29,000
\nIt, it’s not that they’ve
\nachieved it, it’s not that their<\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:29,000 –> 00:02:31,800
\nlife is a spiritual Cut Above
\nyours. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:32,200 –> 00:02:37,200
\nDon’t put anyone on a pedestal.
\nbecause it’s a part of us that <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:37,200 –> 00:02:41,300
\nis ready to bury that person
\nbeneath the pedestal as soon as <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:41,300 –> 00:02:45,000
\nthey show their Humanity, their
\nweakness or Frailty, their <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:45,000 –> 00:02:48,800
\ninconsistencies, there
\nhypocrisies their play-acting, <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:49,000 –> 00:02:52,700
\ntheir problems, their
\nchallenges, their difficulties <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:54,200 –> 00:02:57,100
\nWhen we put people on a
\npedestal, you know, the effect <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:57,100 –> 00:03:00,000
\nit has on us, we don’t have to
\nlisten to them. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:01,400 –> 00:03:05,300
\nBecause that brother that is
\nhe’s he’s he’s up there <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:05,300 –> 00:03:09,100
\nspiritually.
\nHe can do those things but I I <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:09,100 –> 00:03:10,900
\ncan’t live like that.
\nI can’t do that. <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:11,600 –> 00:03:13,300
\nI can’t live the way he’s asking
\nme too. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:14,900 –> 00:03:18,800
\nBut with that brother is looking
\nat you at eye level, not <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:18,800 –> 00:03:21,500
\nelevated.
\nNot some kind of higher life <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:21,500 –> 00:03:25,900
\nform then it’s more
\nuncomfortable for you because <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:25,900 –> 00:03:28,300
\nthen it’s just somebody who’s
\njust like you telling you what? <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:28,300 –> 00:03:32,200
\nScripture says then we can’t
\nignore it by saying well, he’s a<\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:32,200 –> 00:03:36,600
\nspiritual person up there and
\nI’m not Then we have to take it <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:36,600 –> 00:03:42,600
\non board and say well he’s
\nstruggling, I’m struggling and <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:42,600 –> 00:03:44,800
\nall he’s telling me is what the
\nword of God says. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:45,500 –> 00:03:48,800
\nAnd I really don’t want to hear
\nthis right now because it hurts <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:50,000 –> 00:03:52,300
\nSo we don’t put them on
\npedestals. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:52,300 –> 00:03:57,500
\nThe other thing is this, I have
\nbeen a Gatherings where A <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:57,500 –> 00:03:59,400
\nprominent brother has walked
\naway from the truth and <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:59,400 –> 00:04:01,400
\nannounced he no longer believes
\nin the Bible. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:01,700 –> 00:04:06,000
\nHe’s not even sure if God exists
\ntwo or three families were in <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:06,000 –> 00:04:10,300
\nshock for the rest of that
\nfraternal weekend because they <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:10,300 –> 00:04:13,600
\nwere so close to this brother,
\nthey looked up to him so much, <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:13,700 –> 00:04:16,700
\nhe was so valued and treasured
\nby them. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:16,700 –> 00:04:21,000
\nThat when he made that move,
\ntheir world fell apart and no <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:21,000 –> 00:04:24,800
\none’s World should fall apart,
\nbecause someone makes a mistake.<\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:26,500 –> 00:04:30,600
\nthe other thing is this, Because
\nyou find a dead fly in, <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:30,600 –> 00:04:34,200
\nsomebody’s ointment.
\nDoes that mean that they were <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:34,200 –> 00:04:38,000
\nworthless?
\nAnd that who they were was <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:38,000 –> 00:04:41,300
\nrubbish.
\nThat everything you learn from <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:41,300 –> 00:04:44,000
\nthem was garbage and that you
\ncan. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:44,000 –> 00:04:47,100
\nNow throw them on the rubbish
\ndump of those who are the <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:47,100 –> 00:04:52,200
\nrejected and and nonentities in
\nthe truth. <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:53,200 –> 00:04:58,000
\nNo, that only happens if we are
\nfoolishly putting people on a <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:58,000 –> 00:05:04,100
\npedestal, if we don’t, Then we
\naccept the fact that people have<\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:04,100 –> 00:05:06,900
\nflaws and things will fall
\napart. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:07,700 –> 00:05:09,700
\nSometimes, they’ll fall apart in
\na shameful way. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:10,400 –> 00:05:14,300
\nIf you were to uncover my head,
\nthis bald head of mine. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:15,400 –> 00:05:19,100
\nAnd look inside it, you would
\nrun as far away as you could <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:19,100 –> 00:05:23,800
\nrun.
\nYou would and if I did that to <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:23,800 –> 00:05:26,400
\nyou, I might have the same
\nreaction to. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:27,300 –> 00:05:30,700
\nSo let’s accept that.
\nWhat we are made of is broken, <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:30,700 –> 00:05:37,800
\nit’s faulty, it fails and in
\nspite of all that be encouraged <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:37,800 –> 00:05:42,100
\nby each other.
\nOut of the word without putting <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:42,100 –> 00:05:46,200
\nanyone on a pedestal.
\nAnd when somebody comes to tell <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:46,200 –> 00:05:49,500
\nyou about the fly, they
\ndiscovered in brother or sister <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:49,500 –> 00:05:55,000
\nexes pointment You need to have
\na quiet word with them and say, <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:55,000 –> 00:05:58,900
\nlook.
\nShe helped me a lot when I was <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:58,900 –> 00:06:03,300
\ngoing through my marriage
\nproblems and you may have just <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:03,300 –> 00:06:08,600
\nfound something else out about
\nher private life, but that does <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:08,600 –> 00:06:11,200
\nnot reduce the value that that
\nsister has to me. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:12,100 –> 00:06:15,000
\nSo I would thank you to not be
\ntalking about that with people. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:16,800 –> 00:06:22,000
\nall right, you know this
\ntelephone And then there’s Tela <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:22,000 –> 00:06:26,600
\nchristadelphians.
\nAnd tell a christadelphians <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:26,600 –> 00:06:29,700
\nspreads bad news faster than a
\ntelephone ever did. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:30,900 –> 00:06:34,000
\nAnd we need to, we need to be
\nashamed of that and do something<\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:34,000 –> 00:06:38,800
\nabout it.
\nSo A little Folly, doesn’t even <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:38,800 –> 00:06:43,400
\nhave to be baked a little Folly
\ncan destroy someone’s reputation<\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:43,400 –> 00:06:46,800
\ncompletely.
\nA wise man’s heart. <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:46,900 –> 00:06:50,100
\nIs that his right hand?
\nThe place of strength, Lord, <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:50,100 –> 00:06:53,400
\nJesus is sitting at his father’s
\nright hand. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:53,500 –> 00:06:59,600
\nYou turn to the right and you
\nyou confer with the person who’s<\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:59,600 –> 00:07:07,500
\non your right.
\nSo for a wise man, Wisdom is <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:07,500 –> 00:07:11,300
\nsomething that he values highly.
\nBut there are people who are the<\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:11,300 –> 00:07:14,000
\nopposite of that.
\nThey’re not in this room. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:14,700 –> 00:07:18,300
\nDo not people who believe
\nthey’re people who are in the <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:18,300 –> 00:07:23,100
\nworld.
\nNow, we’re going to drop way <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:23,100 –> 00:07:28,500
\ndown in chapter 10.
\nAnd we’ll get to the end of the <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:28,500 –> 00:07:31,700
\nchapter.
\nI just look at it briefly, very,<\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:31,700 –> 00:07:38,800
\nvery briefly. and this is for
\nme, this is what I was doing <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:38,800 –> 00:07:41,900
\nwhen I was corrected gently by a
\nbrother who pulled me up short <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:42,300 –> 00:07:45,900
\nverse 20, Curse, not Donald
\nTrump. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:47,400 –> 00:07:51,900
\nNo, not in your thought curse,
\nnot the rich in thy bed chamber <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:51,900 –> 00:07:55,400
\nfor a bird of the air, shall
\ncarry the voice, and that, which<\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:55,400 –> 00:07:57,400
\nhath Wings shall tell the
\nmatter. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:59,500 –> 00:08:02,900
\nAll right, so that’s the king,
\nthat’s the president, that’s <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:02,900 –> 00:08:05,100
\nwhatever.
\nBut what about each other? <\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:06,500 –> 00:08:10,500
\nDo we badmouth our brothers and
\nsisters that we disagree with or<\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:10,500 –> 00:08:15,000
\ndislike or feel hurt by or
\ninsulted by? <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:15,600 –> 00:08:18,400
\nDo we do that.
\nWell, what this is saying is, is<\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:18,400 –> 00:08:21,600
\ndon’t do that.
\nIt’s not a good thing to do. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:22,900 –> 00:08:27,600
\nIt’s not the right thing to do.
\nGossip bad-mouthing. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:28,500 –> 00:08:32,000
\nThese are things that we do in a
\nstate of mind. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:32,200 –> 00:08:37,600
\nThat is less than spiritual.
\nThe more that we gossip, the <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:37,600 –> 00:08:41,700
\nmore we make other people’s
\nfaults, failings and, and <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:41,700 –> 00:08:45,400
\ninconsistencies the matter of
\nour conversation. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:45,900 –> 00:08:49,900
\nThe more we’re trying to hide
\nour own from ourselves and from <\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:49,900 –> 00:08:54,900
\nother people.
\nAnd so, the point is that we do <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:54,900 –> 00:08:59,900
\nwhat we can to not do that.
\nAnd to remind each other not to <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:59,900 –> 00:09:03,500
\ndo that.
\nLikewise We all know that one <\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:03,500 –> 00:09:07,900
\nperson who all that they do is
\nGossip, it’s as if that’s who <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:07,900 –> 00:09:11,900
\nthey become their gossip from
\nfrom, from from, from top to <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:11,900 –> 00:09:14,900
\ntoe.
\nThey come at you and have some, <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:15,000 –> 00:09:17,500
\nyou know, what, brother, such
\nand such. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:17,600 –> 00:09:20,400
\nHe’s having an affair.
\nDid you know that? <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:20,600 –> 00:09:24,200
\nI just found out poor sister
\nsuch and such isn’t that <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:24,200 –> 00:09:27,800
\nterrible, right?
\nAnd some people keep a secret, <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:28,000 –> 00:09:30,900
\nthis is how they keep it.
\nThey only tell one person at a <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:30,900 –> 00:09:35,400
\ntime.
\nBy limiting, is the one person, <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:35,400 –> 00:09:40,000
\nthey’re keeping the secret.
\nSo I mean there’s a silly things<\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:40,700 –> 00:09:43,000
\nbut they can they can burn
\npeople’s lives down to the <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:43,000 –> 00:09:46,000
\nground.
\nTongue can become a fire. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:46,000 –> 00:09:50,400
\nThat destroys James tells us so
\nwe have to be mindful that we <\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:50,400 –> 00:09:54,100
\nall have it in us, especially if
\nwe nurse a grudge against <\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:54,100 –> 00:09:55,600
\nsomeone else for whatever
\nreason. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:56,900 –> 00:10:00,600
\nWe can we can take Delight in
\ntheir demise and they’re in <\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:00,600 –> 00:10:04,200
\ntheir failings.
\nAnd those times when they met <\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:04,200 –> 00:10:07,600
\nFallen skin, their knees All
\nright, then. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:08,800 –> 00:10:13,400
\nDon’t curse the king and let’s
\nbe careful we say about each <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:13,400 –> 00:10:16,700
\nother.
\nNow, verse 11, verse verse 1 of <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:16,700 –> 00:10:22,300
\nchapter. 11, says, cast your
\nbread, upon the waters, For you <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:22,300 –> 00:10:27,300
\nshall find it after many days.
\nGive a portion to seven and also<\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:27,300 –> 00:10:31,000
\nto eight but I know it’s not
\nwhat evil shall be upon the <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:31,000 –> 00:10:33,900
\nEarth.
\nThere are two main ways of <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:33,900 –> 00:10:39,200
\ninterpreting that the one way,
\nis this be generous, be <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:39,200 –> 00:10:43,600
\ngenerous, be generous to all
\nkinds of people, in all kinds of<\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:43,600 –> 00:10:47,000
\nways because you don’t know when
\nyour life is going to need <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:47,000 –> 00:10:51,000
\nsomeone else’s generosity to
\nhelp you, and to look after you,<\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:51,400 –> 00:10:53,500
\nand that’s, that’s one valid way
\nof looking at it. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:54,300 –> 00:10:57,400
\nNow, another way has to do is
\ninteresting when I read this <\/p>\n
164
\n00:10:57,400 –> 00:11:01,100
\nwith on never thought of it that
\nway, it’s about what you invest <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:01,100 –> 00:11:03,900
\nin financially.
\nRight? <\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:04,500 –> 00:11:08,100
\nSo there are Brethren who have
\nput all of the money they had <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:08,100 –> 00:11:12,000
\ninto some Technology stock which
\nthey thought was going to turn <\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:12,000 –> 00:11:16,100
\nthem into kazillion, Aires.
\nOnly to find that it turned them<\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:16,100 –> 00:11:19,500
\ninto nothing Aires.
\nRight? <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:20,200 –> 00:11:21,700
\nAnd they and they lost
\neverything. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:22,000 –> 00:11:25,200
\nThey lost everything.
\nAnd so what this is saying that <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:25,200 –> 00:11:30,400
\ninterpretation goes this way is
\ninvested diverse things. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:30,900 –> 00:11:33,300
\nNot just in the one kind of
\ninvestment. <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:33,900 –> 00:11:36,400
\nI choose the previous
\ninterpretation, but that is <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:36,400 –> 00:11:38,900
\nstill useful, advice.
\nIt could be seen that. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:38,900 –> 00:11:40,000
\nThat’s what it could be saying
\nto. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:40,000 –> 00:11:41,800
\nDon’t put all your eggs in one
\nbasket. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:11:42,300 –> 00:11:46,200
\nThe old saying goes because if
\nyou drop the basket, no more <\/p>\n
179
\n00:11:46,200 –> 00:11:47,600
\neggs.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:11:48,800 –> 00:11:52,200
\nSays, if the clouds be full of
\nrain, they empty themselves upon<\/p>\n
181
\n00:11:52,200 –> 00:11:54,800
\nthe Earth.
\nAnd if a tree fall toward the <\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:54,800 –> 00:11:57,700
\nSouth or toward the North, in
\nthe place, where the tree <\/p>\n
183
\n00:11:57,700 –> 00:12:00,900
\nfalleth, there it shall be.
\nYou look at that. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:00,900 –> 00:12:05,000
\nYou think?
\nThat’s like saying wherever you <\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:05,000 –> 00:12:06,300
\ngo.
\nThere you are. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:07,900 –> 00:12:10,900
\nDoes that mean anything?
\nWherever you go? <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:10,900 –> 00:12:14,300
\nThere you are.
\nWhere the tree fell their it <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:14,300 –> 00:12:19,800
\nfell.
\nWell, the sensible sort of way <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:19,800 –> 00:12:25,800
\nof looking at it is You know
\nthings happen and we just have <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:25,800 –> 00:12:30,500
\nto live with what has happened.
\nWe can’t unhappen some of the <\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:30,500 –> 00:12:33,900
\nthings that happen in our lives
\nand in our kids lives and our <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:33,900 –> 00:12:38,700
\ngrandkids lives, things happen,
\nwe have to, we have to address <\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:38,700 –> 00:12:41,200
\nlife with that thing that has
\nhappened. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:12:42,100 –> 00:12:44,300
\nYou know, sometimes things
\nhappen and we want to pretend, <\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:44,300 –> 00:12:47,400
\nthey didn’t really happen and
\nact like they didn’t happen and <\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:47,400 –> 00:12:50,000
\njust look past them and, you
\nknow, squint one eye, and keep <\/p>\n
197
\n00:12:50,000 –> 00:12:52,700
\nthe other eye open.
\nSo we can’t see the Over there <\/p>\n
198
\n00:12:53,000 –> 00:12:55,800
\nthat has happened.
\nWell, what this thing is saying,<\/p>\n
199
\n00:12:55,800 –> 00:12:57,000
\nis Well for trees.
\nFall in love. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:12:57,000 –> 00:12:59,600
\nThere it is.
\nIt’s Fallen. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:12:59,800 –> 00:13:03,400
\nIt’s not upright like it.
\nOnce was If something has <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:03,400 –> 00:13:05,600
\nhappened in somebody’s life.
\nWell, that’s now a part of their<\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:05,600 –> 00:13:09,900
\nlife.
\nNow for our friends in the truth<\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:10,800 –> 00:13:15,500
\nand they fall on Hard Times,
\nwe’re happy to go in and help. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:17,100 –> 00:13:22,500
\nBut when they fall into shameful
\nsins, that become public, what <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:22,500 –> 00:13:26,000
\ndo we tend to do?
\nI should point out to Jeff that <\/p>\n
207
\n00:13:26,000 –> 00:13:29,200
\nphone that’s ringing.
\nIt’s outside of this room. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:13:30,500 –> 00:13:35,500
\nIt’s not somebody in here.
\nWhen something shameful happens <\/p>\n
209
\n00:13:35,500 –> 00:13:42,300
\nin someone else’s life. then the
\neffect it can have on us is We <\/p>\n
210
\n00:13:42,300 –> 00:13:45,900
\nwalk away from them.
\nWe say, you know what? <\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:46,700 –> 00:13:50,400
\nThat’s disgusting.
\nI can’t believe you did a thing <\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:50,400 –> 00:13:55,200
\nlike that.
\nWhen they need us the very most <\/p>\n
213
\n00:13:55,200 –> 00:14:00,200
\nin their time of Shame of loss
\nof embarrassment of humiliation.<\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:00,800 –> 00:14:03,800
\nThat’s when we feel like we want
\nto walk away from them. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:04,700 –> 00:14:07,500
\nNow, I’m not saying that you sit
\nwith your friends, say, you know<\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:07,500 –> 00:14:11,200
\nwhat?
\nNow, you’ve got this disease <\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:11,200 –> 00:14:16,300
\nbecause of your behavior.
\nIt’s okay, there’s nothing wrong<\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:16,300 –> 00:14:18,800
\nwith that, that’s not.
\nWhat is what we required to do? <\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:19,500 –> 00:14:22,700
\nThey look, I I can understand
\nhow you got yourself in this <\/p>\n
220
\n00:14:22,700 –> 00:14:26,100
\nplace, but I want you to know
\nI’m still here to help. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:14:27,600 –> 00:14:31,300
\nAnd to encourage you.
\nAnd I’m especially here to to <\/p>\n
222
\n00:14:31,800 –> 00:14:35,600
\nwalk beside you to bring you
\nback to the truth if that’s what<\/p>\n
223
\n00:14:35,600 –> 00:14:39,100
\nyou need me to do.
\nAs christadelphians, we <\/p>\n
224
\n00:14:39,100 –> 00:14:44,100
\nsometimes feel as if that person
\nsin is going to Splash up on me <\/p>\n
225
\n00:14:44,400 –> 00:14:46,100
\nand I’m going to be defiled by
\nit. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:14:46,100 –> 00:14:47,900
\nAnd it’s not the way things
\nwork. <\/p>\n
227
\n00:14:48,200 –> 00:14:51,200
\nYou already have your own
\nsplashing up going on inside of <\/p>\n
228
\n00:14:51,200 –> 00:14:58,400
\nyou already as it is. but if we,
\nif we are willing To work with. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:14:59,800 –> 00:15:06,300
\nAnd to continue to encourage
\nthose that have fallen into <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:06,400 –> 00:15:09,000
\nshameful sin.
\nLike the tree that has fallen <\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:09,000 –> 00:15:11,300
\nand there it is.
\nNow you’ve got to contend with <\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:11,300 –> 00:15:14,200
\nthat thing as it is.
\nNot as you thought it off to me.<\/p>\n
233
\n00:15:15,400 –> 00:15:19,600
\nThen we can do a lot of good.
\nA lot of good. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:15:21,700 –> 00:15:26,600
\nOne of the saddest things to see
\nin an occlusal situation. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:15:28,600 –> 00:15:31,400
\nIs a sister or a brother who has
\nsinned in a public way. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:15:32,700 –> 00:15:37,500
\nCome to the meeting.
\nNo one sitting beside them at <\/p>\n
237
\n00:15:37,500 –> 00:15:41,400
\nall.
\nThe whole row emptied really or <\/p>\n
238
\n00:15:41,400 –> 00:15:44,900
\npeople sitting at the ends of
\nthe row rather than interacting <\/p>\n
239
\n00:15:44,900 –> 00:15:49,200
\nwith them or engaging with them.
\nBecause we think they don’t <\/p>\n
240
\n00:15:49,200 –> 00:15:53,000
\ndeserve our friendship, given
\nwhat they’ve done, but think <\/p>\n
241
\n00:15:53,000 –> 00:15:57,600
\nabout us.
\nAnd the fact that a man gave his<\/p>\n
242
\n00:15:57,600 –> 00:16:03,700
\nlife for us, with all our
\nfaults, all our failings, <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:04,500 –> 00:16:07,900
\neverything that we think and say
\nand do that is wrong. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:08,900 –> 00:16:13,600
\nHe saw the fallen tree that we
\nwere, and still gave his life <\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:13,600 –> 00:16:16,900
\nfor us on a tree that we might
\nhave hope. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:18,200 –> 00:16:21,800
\nAs though we can look at this
\nlittle work a day, you know, <\/p>\n
247
\n00:16:22,100 –> 00:16:28,600
\nexpression and draw out of it.
\nDealing with the things that <\/p>\n
248
\n00:16:28,600 –> 00:16:34,400
\nhappen.
\nWith common sense and spiritual <\/p>\n
249
\n00:16:34,400 –> 00:16:38,000
\nwisdom.
\nAs opposed to ignoring them, or <\/p>\n
250
\n00:16:38,000 –> 00:16:44,400
\navoiding them or running away
\nfrom them. goes on, and he says,<\/p>\n
251
\n00:16:46,500 –> 00:16:52,000
\nVerse 5.
\nAs thou, knowest not what is the<\/p>\n
252
\n00:16:52,000 –> 00:16:54,700
\nway of the wind?
\nYou don’t know where it’s going <\/p>\n
253
\n00:16:54,700 –> 00:16:59,200
\nand what it’s doing, nor how the
\nbones do grow in the womb of <\/p>\n
254
\n00:16:59,200 –> 00:17:04,300
\nher, that is with child even.
\nSo thou knowest, not the work of<\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:04,300 –> 00:17:08,099
\nGod.
\nWho does all to see how that <\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:08,099 –> 00:17:11,700
\ntheme keeps coming through.
\nIt’s not to make us think I well<\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:11,700 –> 00:17:14,200
\nI could never understand God.
\nTherefore I could never have a <\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:14,208 –> 00:17:17,800
\nrelationship with him.
\nIt’s intended to give us the <\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:17,800 –> 00:17:21,500
\nsense that I can’t work out
\nexactly what he’s doing when <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:21,500 –> 00:17:24,599
\nthings are happening or when
\nhe’s allowing them to happen. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:26,000 –> 00:17:30,200
\nBut I know I’m in his hand.
\nHe loves me. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:17:31,400 –> 00:17:36,800
\nHe loves my family.
\nI need to trust in him and hold <\/p>\n
263
\n00:17:36,800 –> 00:17:40,500
\non to him as I go through this
\nroller coaster ride. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:17:40,800 –> 00:17:44,600
\nThis bungee cord.
\nJump that my life can sometimes <\/p>\n
265
\n00:17:44,600 –> 00:17:49,000
\nbe you don’t know what he’s
\ndoing, but hold on to him. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:17:49,800 –> 00:17:54,400
\nIn the morning.
\nSo you seed the evening, Don’t <\/p>\n
267
\n00:17:54,400 –> 00:17:57,400
\ndon’t withhold your hand keep
\nworking for. <\/p>\n
268
\n00:17:57,400 –> 00:18:00,800
\nThou knowest, not.
\nWhether shall prosper either <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:00,800 –> 00:18:05,700
\nthis or that or whether they
\nboth shall be alike. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:05,700 –> 00:18:09,100
\nGood.
\nSo it’s using the the language <\/p>\n
271
\n00:18:09,100 –> 00:18:13,200
\nof crops and agriculture.
\nBut what it’s saying is this be <\/p>\n
272
\n00:18:13,200 –> 00:18:19,200
\nbusy Be doing, we apply to
\nocclusal life be busy, doing <\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:19,200 –> 00:18:22,600
\nthings in the truth.
\nWe’ve got a fearful problem <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:22,600 –> 00:18:28,900
\nhappening all around the Western
\nworld, It is getting harder and <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:28,900 –> 00:18:34,600
\nharder.
\nTo get young men and women to <\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:34,600 –> 00:18:37,400
\nhelp in the Ecclesia, the work
\nit has to do. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:18:39,300 –> 00:18:45,700
\nWe’re finding you’ll ask 10
\npeople. if they would do a <\/p>\n
278
\n00:18:45,700 –> 00:18:49,900
\nparticular kind of work and only
\none will say yes, And what’s the<\/p>\n
279
\n00:18:49,900 –> 00:18:51,800
\nreason you’re hearing, I’m too
\nbusy. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:18:53,400 –> 00:18:55,900
\nThis that I have all these
\nthings on the go. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:18:57,100 –> 00:18:59,400
\nNow, that has always been the
\ncase. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:19:00,400 –> 00:19:04,700
\nWe have always been too busy,
\nevery one of us for every <\/p>\n
283
\n00:19:04,700 –> 00:19:08,600
\ngeneration.
\nBut we’ve made the Ecclesia a <\/p>\n
284
\n00:19:08,600 –> 00:19:13,300
\npriority.
\nWe’ve made the work of the <\/p>\n
285
\n00:19:13,300 –> 00:19:15,800
\nEcclesia.
\nAn important thing that we do. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:19:17,700 –> 00:19:23,300
\nAnd we’ve got to pray and try to
\nhave conversations with our <\/p>\n
287
\n00:19:23,300 –> 00:19:28,300
\nyoung brothers and sisters, many
\nof whom are in their 40s. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:19:29,300 –> 00:19:35,100
\nSome even older than that to get
\ninvolved and to keep involved. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:19:36,300 –> 00:19:39,800
\nNow, a part of the problem,
\ncould be the sense that. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:19:40,300 –> 00:19:44,900
\nWell, I don’t feel like I get
\nanything out of the Ecclesia and<\/p>\n
291
\n00:19:44,900 –> 00:19:49,700
\nthe Bible class and the
\nafternoon lectures and the Bible<\/p>\n
292
\n00:19:49,700 –> 00:19:53,200
\nschools, and the study we gets,
\nI’ll get anything out of that. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:19:54,300 –> 00:19:57,100
\nDo you see how that attitude is
\nthe same as my friend who left <\/p>\n
294
\n00:19:57,100 –> 00:20:00,500
\nhis wife?
\nI’m not happy. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:20:00,500 –> 00:20:02,000
\nI don’t get happiness out of all
\nthat. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:20:02,000 –> 00:20:04,700
\nI don’t feel like I’m
\nentertained or, you know, I <\/p>\n
297
\n00:20:04,700 –> 00:20:08,000
\ndon’t get something out of it.
\nSo why should I be involved in <\/p>\n
298
\n00:20:08,000 –> 00:20:11,600
\nthat work?
\nmy friend had terrible regrets <\/p>\n
299
\n00:20:11,600 –> 00:20:15,700
\nabout the breakup of his
\nmarriage after We don’t want to <\/p>\n
300
\n00:20:15,708 –> 00:20:20,900
\nstand at the judgement seat and
\nhave to answer to the Lord about<\/p>\n
301
\n00:20:20,900 –> 00:20:24,700
\nthose things.
\nWe didn’t do and could have So <\/p>\n
302
\n00:20:24,700 –> 00:20:28,500
\nlet’s get involved.
\nNow you are involved, but for <\/p>\n
303
\n00:20:28,500 –> 00:20:32,100
\nyour children, your
\ngrandchildren encourage them to <\/p>\n
304
\n00:20:32,100 –> 00:20:35,300
\nget involved.
\nNow, I don’t know if there be <\/p>\n
305
\n00:20:35,308 –> 00:20:37,700
\nsuccess.
\nI don’t know if things will <\/p>\n
306
\n00:20:37,700 –> 00:20:41,400
\nsuddenly turn around but we can
\nstill make some kind of an <\/p>\n
307
\n00:20:41,400 –> 00:20:45,400
\neffort.
\nI’ve got three daughters two <\/p>\n
308
\n00:20:45,400 –> 00:20:49,100
\nwere baptized one left, one
\nstill in and very, very <\/p>\n
309
\n00:20:49,100 –> 00:20:52,400
\ncommitted.
\nAnd one never was baptized. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:20:53,200 –> 00:20:57,200
\nNow as a dad mum, you torture
\nyourself with those things could<\/p>\n
311
\n00:20:57,200 –> 00:20:59,000
\nhave done, this should have done
\nthat, should have been home, <\/p>\n
312
\n00:20:59,000 –> 00:21:02,400
\nmore to deduct that a less
\nspeaking around the place, <\/p>\n
313
\n00:21:02,400 –> 00:21:04,900
\netcetera, Etc.
\nBut you know what? <\/p>\n
314
\n00:21:05,400 –> 00:21:07,600
\nIt happens to families.
\nWhere everybody stayed at home <\/p>\n
315
\n00:21:07,600 –> 00:21:11,700
\nall the time, too.
\nIt just happens and we don’t <\/p>\n
316
\n00:21:11,700 –> 00:21:16,900
\nknow why and we don’t know how
\nbut we know God is still at work<\/p>\n
317
\n00:21:16,900 –> 00:21:22,800
\nwhere there isn’t life.
\nThere is still hope he still at <\/p>\n
318
\n00:21:22,800 –> 00:21:29,200
\nwork. go further in that
\nchapter, it says verse 7. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:21:30,400 –> 00:21:32,800
\nTruly the light is sweet and a
\npleasant thing. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:21:32,800 –> 00:21:35,400
\nIt is for the eyes, to behold
\nthe Sun. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:21:36,400 –> 00:21:40,100
\nBut if a man lived many years in
\nrejoice in the mall yet, let him<\/p>\n
322
\n00:21:40,100 –> 00:21:45,200
\nremember the days of darkness
\nfor they shall be many all that <\/p>\n
323
\n00:21:45,200 –> 00:21:49,800
\ncometh his vanity and let’s not
\nbe Smitten by that statement is <\/p>\n
324
\n00:21:49,800 –> 00:21:52,800
\nif it’s a terrible pessimistic
\nthing. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:21:53,000 –> 00:21:56,700
\nWhat he’s saying is work while
\nyou can Well, you’ve got <\/p>\n
326
\n00:21:56,700 –> 00:22:01,000
\nstrength while you can still see
\nbe busy, you’re going to have <\/p>\n
327
\n00:22:01,000 –> 00:22:04,000
\nsome health issue days where
\nyou’re not going to be able to <\/p>\n
328
\n00:22:04,000 –> 00:22:07,300
\ndo those things.
\nSo do them while you can’t. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:22:07,300 –> 00:22:12,700
\nLook, you’re all on a Bible
\nSchool. how many Bible schools <\/p>\n
330
\n00:22:12,700 –> 00:22:17,500
\nhave got as many people in their
\n80s and their 70s and their <\/p>\n
331
\n00:22:17,500 –> 00:22:20,500
\n90’s, and I should say in their
\nfirst century, as the school <\/p>\n
332
\n00:22:20,500 –> 00:22:25,200
\nhas, how many But you’re all
\nhere. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:22:26,300 –> 00:22:29,800
\nThat’s an amazing feat of
\ndetermination. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:22:31,300 –> 00:22:34,500
\nI’ve decisiveness.
\nOf commitment. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:22:35,500 –> 00:22:38,300
\nOf love.
\nThat’s what that all is. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:22:39,400 –> 00:22:42,400
\nIt was a big bit of work that
\nyou did to come here. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:22:43,100 –> 00:22:48,700
\nNow, somebody who’s 50 has no
\nclue what it was like for you to<\/p>\n
338
\n00:22:48,700 –> 00:22:54,100
\nwalk from your room on the
\nsecond floor to the elevator or <\/p>\n
339
\n00:22:54,100 –> 00:22:58,700
\ndown the stairs to go and open a
\ndoor, they don’t get it. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:22:59,100 –> 00:23:04,200
\nThey don’t understand to open a
\ndoor is a big deal when you’re <\/p>\n
341
\n00:23:04,200 –> 00:23:08,400
\n80 and Terrible arthritis.
\nThey don’t realize that. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:23:09,200 –> 00:23:12,500
\nSo the work you’ve put into this
\nschool only God knows. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:23:13,600 –> 00:23:18,800
\nJust to be here.
\nTo be busy at it and to listen <\/p>\n
344
\n00:23:19,700 –> 00:23:26,000
\nand to love and to care, right?
\nAnd to notice things, I mean, <\/p>\n
345
\n00:23:26,600 –> 00:23:29,500
\nAuntie Toni looked at my shirt
\nand she just said that has <\/p>\n
346
\n00:23:29,500 –> 00:23:32,100
\nembroidery on it.
\nWe have. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:23:32,100 –> 00:23:37,200
\nIs that what that is?
\nWhere’d you get that from Cuba, <\/p>\n
348
\n00:23:37,400 –> 00:23:40,300
\nCuba?
\nWhy did you get that from Cuba? <\/p>\n
349
\n00:23:40,900 –> 00:23:43,600
\nShe said, I thought Fidel was
\ngetting better, but he didn’t <\/p>\n
350
\n00:23:45,100 –> 00:23:48,800
\ntalking about Cuba.
\nThat’s a lot of thoughts from <\/p>\n
351
\n00:23:48,800 –> 00:23:52,200
\none person’s brain, all
\nconnected together very complex <\/p>\n
352
\n00:23:52,200 –> 00:23:55,900
\nthinking, so don’t underestimate
\nyour old brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:23:57,000 –> 00:23:59,400
\nThere’s a lot going on there,
\nyou don’t realize, but there’s a<\/p>\n
354
\n00:23:59,408 –> 00:24:03,400
\nlot more that they struggle with
\nin the way of pain and so on. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:24:03,700 –> 00:24:10,700
\nAnd yet, in spite of all that
\nthey are here, they are here old<\/p>\n
356
\n00:24:10,700 –> 00:24:14,000
\nbrother.
\nPaul from California is here, <\/p>\n
357
\n00:24:14,600 –> 00:24:17,100
\nand you will never hear him.
\nComplain. <\/p>\n
358
\n00:24:17,300 –> 00:24:21,800
\nOnce about his chronic pain, not
\nonce. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:24:22,800 –> 00:24:26,200
\nPeople never say a word about
\nthat, he’s just so glad to be <\/p>\n
360
\n00:24:26,200 –> 00:24:27,800
\nhere.
\nWhat an inspiration. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:24:28,900 –> 00:24:31,900
\nThat’s the greatest thing that
\nyou have right now, when you <\/p>\n
362
\n00:24:31,900 –> 00:24:36,700
\nthink there’s nothing you can do
\nor give, you are an inspiration.<\/p>\n
363
\n00:24:37,900 –> 00:24:39,300
\nTo people who are younger than
\nyou. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:24:41,300 –> 00:24:42,500
\nThere are years.
\nYes. <\/p>\n
365
\n00:24:42,500 –> 00:24:45,500
\nWhere there’s all these
\nstruggles, and that’s where we <\/p>\n
366
\n00:24:45,800 –> 00:24:51,200
\nneed to be tender and
\nunderstanding and aware of what <\/p>\n
367
\n00:24:51,200 –> 00:24:53,400
\nour brothers and sisters go
\nthrough at this age. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:24:54,800 –> 00:25:00,400
\nThen he says, verse 9.
\nRejoice O young man in your <\/p>\n
369
\n00:25:00,400 –> 00:25:05,100
\nyouth rejoice, in your youth.
\nLet your heart cheer you in the <\/p>\n
370
\n00:25:05,100 –> 00:25:08,500
\ndays of You Youth and walk in
\nthe ways of your heart and the <\/p>\n
371
\n00:25:08,500 –> 00:25:12,600
\nside of your eyes but no, you
\nneed this to balance you out. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:25:13,400 –> 00:25:18,200
\nKnow that all these things for
\nall these things, God will bring<\/p>\n
373
\n00:25:18,200 –> 00:25:20,400
\nyou into judgment.
\nAll right? <\/p>\n
374
\n00:25:21,100 –> 00:25:23,100
\nNow, that’s not to terrify young
\npeople. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:25:23,700 –> 00:25:27,600
\nIt’s the just say, Don’t run the
\nfull course. <\/p>\n
376
\n00:25:27,900 –> 00:25:31,800
\nThe world that you’re in, not do
\nwhatever the world does all the <\/p>\n
377
\n00:25:31,800 –> 00:25:37,000
\ntime, like that.
\nRemember you have a higher a <\/p>\n
378
\n00:25:37,000 –> 00:25:42,000
\nhigher calling than they do?
\nYour brother in Christ, your <\/p>\n
379
\n00:25:42,000 –> 00:25:47,600
\nsister in Christ, rejoice in
\nyour Youth and make it something<\/p>\n
380
\n00:25:47,600 –> 00:25:51,500
\nthat you do useful, things with.
\nWe’ve got some young people who <\/p>\n
381
\n00:25:51,500 –> 00:25:55,200
\nare with us in the audience this
\nmorning, they were her last <\/p>\n
382
\n00:25:55,200 –> 00:26:01,200
\nnight volunteering to sell food
\ncakes and so on. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:26:01,900 –> 00:26:06,000
\nFor the good of their school
\nthat wonderful They’re doing <\/p>\n
384
\n00:26:06,000 –> 00:26:09,600
\nexactly what scripture is
\nguiding them to do something <\/p>\n
385
\n00:26:09,600 –> 00:26:12,600
\nuseful and worthwhile with their
\nyouth. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:26:12,600 –> 00:26:15,200
\nIt’s a wonderful thing really
\nwonderful thing. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:26:16,000 –> 00:26:18,400
\nRejoice, O young man in your
\nyouth. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:26:19,000 –> 00:26:22,800

\nsorrow from your heart and put <\/p>\n
389
\n00:26:22,800 –> 00:26:27,400
\naway evil from your flesh. so,
\nwhat he’s saying is this there <\/p>\n
390
\n00:26:27,400 –> 00:26:32,200
\nis evil that we can involve
\nourselves in That is harmful to <\/p>\n
391
\n00:26:32,200 –> 00:26:36,900
\nus, harmful to our flesh,
\nharmful to us as human beings. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:26:38,300 –> 00:26:43,000
\nHe says put those things away
\nfrom you. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:26:44,200 –> 00:26:50,300
\nBecause this world youth.
\nAnd the prime of Life are <\/p>\n
394
\n00:26:50,300 –> 00:26:53,300
\nvanity.
\nAnd he’s not saying that your <\/p>\n
395
\n00:26:53,600 –> 00:26:56,600
\nyour time of life is useless and
\nworthless, he’s saying the <\/p>\n
396
\n00:26:56,600 –> 00:27:02,000
\ntendency of this world and you
\nthin, it is to get involved in <\/p>\n
397
\n00:27:02,000 –> 00:27:05,200
\nthings that are useless.
\nBut that’s not what we see with <\/p>\n
398
\n00:27:05,200 –> 00:27:08,000
\nthe young people that are here
\nwho were here last night and <\/p>\n
399
\n00:27:08,000 –> 00:27:11,900
\ncontinued with us.
\nThey are an inspiration to us <\/p>\n
400
\n00:27:12,500 –> 00:27:16,100
\nyou as old brothers and sisters
\nlook at them and it gives you <\/p>\n
401
\n00:27:16,100 –> 00:27:20,500
\nJoy to see young people.
\nBusy, and the truth. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:27:21,500 –> 00:27:25,600
\nIt’s a lovely thing.
\nRemember now your creator in the<\/p>\n
403
\n00:27:25,608 –> 00:27:32,000
\ndays of your youth?
\nBefore the evil days come and <\/p>\n
404
\n00:27:32,000 –> 00:27:35,400
\nthe years draw nigh.
\nWhen you’ll say, look, I have no<\/p>\n
405
\n00:27:35,400 –> 00:27:40,800
\npleasure in these days.
\nSun light, the moon, the stars <\/p>\n
406
\n00:27:41,000 –> 00:27:43,800
\nare darkened and the clouds
\nreturn. <\/p>\n
407
\n00:27:43,800 –> 00:27:48,000
\nAfter the rain And then he
\ndescribes a very poetic <\/p>\n
408
\n00:27:48,000 –> 00:27:49,400
\nlanguage.
\nWhat? <\/p>\n
409
\n00:27:49,400 –> 00:27:52,100
\nIt’s like to grow old this
\nstuff. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:27:52,100 –> 00:27:57,300
\nAs it is, was never intended.
\nIn this age, in this world to <\/p>\n
411
\n00:27:57,300 –> 00:28:00,900
\nlast forever.
\nPeople try, they try with <\/p>\n
412
\n00:28:00,900 –> 00:28:05,300
\nplastics and the replacement of,
\nof joints, of, of body. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:28:05,300 –> 00:28:08,600
\nParts of of organs.
\nThey try to extend life and <\/p>\n
414
\n00:28:08,900 –> 00:28:13,800
\nit’ll only go so far.
\nIt won’t take you on and on <\/p>\n
415
\n00:28:13,800 –> 00:28:17,200
\nforever.
\nYou know, I would not want to be<\/p>\n
416
\n00:28:17,200 –> 00:28:20,400
\n200 years old, with the mind, I
\nhave the brain. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:28:20,400 –> 00:28:24,000
\nI have, would you want that know
\nwhat something better than <\/p>\n
418
\n00:28:24,000 –> 00:28:28,900
\nwhat’s in there and it’ll only
\ncome from the Lord one day. and <\/p>\n
419
\n00:28:28,900 –> 00:28:34,200
\nso, so he says Remember there
\nare days that come where you <\/p>\n
420
\n00:28:34,200 –> 00:28:37,600
\nsay, I have no pleasure in them.
\nWell, you have the pleasure of <\/p>\n
421
\n00:28:37,600 –> 00:28:41,900
\nthe Gospel of the hope of
\neternal life but getting up <\/p>\n
422
\n00:28:41,900 –> 00:28:45,800
\nsitting down Mobility all these
\nthings become much more <\/p>\n
423
\n00:28:45,800 –> 00:28:47,900
\ndifficult.
\nThat’s what it’s saying is it’s <\/p>\n
424
\n00:28:47,900 –> 00:28:51,700
\ntalking about the Practical
\nreality of the aging process <\/p>\n
425
\n00:28:52,100 –> 00:28:57,600
\nthat we have to be mindful of.
\nAnd then he goes on and he talks<\/p>\n
426
\n00:28:57,600 –> 00:29:02,800
\nabout in verse 3 in the days
\nwhen the Keepers of the house <\/p>\n
427
\n00:29:03,000 –> 00:29:07,700
\nshall tremble.
\nNow he’s using the image of a <\/p>\n
428
\n00:29:07,700 –> 00:29:11,900
\nhouse that starting to Decay.
\nHe’s talking about the pillars <\/p>\n
429
\n00:29:11,900 –> 00:29:14,000
\nof the house that start to
\ntremble. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:29:14,000 –> 00:29:19,800
\nWell, what’s that our legs?
\nThose strong muscles that start <\/p>\n
431
\n00:29:19,800 –> 00:29:25,300
\nto become very frail and they
\nstart to tremble right there he <\/p>\n
432
\n00:29:25,300 –> 00:29:29,800
\ngoes from there.
\nAnd he talks about these strong,<\/p>\n
433
\n00:29:29,800 –> 00:29:33,800
\nmen would shall bow.
\nThemselves could be, our could <\/p>\n
434
\n00:29:33,800 –> 00:29:38,500
\nbe our back could be, could be
\nour arms, could be our legs <\/p>\n
435
\n00:29:38,500 –> 00:29:41,700
\nagain, but he’s talking about
\nareas of strength of the body <\/p>\n
436
\n00:29:41,700 –> 00:29:45,100
\nthat are not strong anymore.
\nAnd then he talks about the <\/p>\n
437
\n00:29:45,100 –> 00:29:49,200
\nGrinders and the grinder cease
\nbecause they are few. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:29:50,200 –> 00:29:53,600
\nI have a Manitoulin Island tooth
\nin my mouth. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:29:54,200 –> 00:29:57,200
\nWhat does that mean?
\nI gave a study weekend, Amanda <\/p>\n
440
\n00:29:57,400 –> 00:30:00,700
\nAn island and had a breakfast at
\nbrother and sisters house and <\/p>\n
441
\n00:30:00,700 –> 00:30:06,000
\njumped and something that was
\nhard. for two or three months <\/p>\n
442
\n00:30:06,000 –> 00:30:11,000
\nafter I ignored it being a man
\nand all And treated myself with <\/p>\n
443
\n00:30:11,100 –> 00:30:13,700
\nsalt water.
\nWhich did nothing but keep <\/p>\n
444
\n00:30:13,700 –> 00:30:16,300
\nswelling.
\nDown one day, I was feeling <\/p>\n
445
\n00:30:16,300 –> 00:30:19,400
\naround the tooth and it was
\nsplit right down the middle. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:30:20,900 –> 00:30:24,000
\nSo, I went into the dentist and
\nshe didn’t even say a word, she <\/p>\n
447
\n00:30:24,000 –> 00:30:29,200
\njust looked at me.
\nI said I know I should have come<\/p>\n
448
\n00:30:29,200 –> 00:30:31,200
\nto you when it was just cracked
\na tad. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:30:31,200 –> 00:30:33,400
\nI did calm.
\nI did foolishly I. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:30:33,600 –> 00:30:38,600
\nThat I she said yes and now
\nhere’s your choice. $500 for a <\/p>\n
451
\n00:30:38,600 –> 00:30:43,800
\nplate with a tooth sticking out
\nof it or five thousand dollars <\/p>\n
452
\n00:30:44,000 –> 00:30:46,400
\nfor a tooth we’re going to put
\nit on a post. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:30:47,500 –> 00:30:50,300
\nI said, well, I will now have a
\nfalse to thank you. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:30:51,700 –> 00:30:54,800
\nSo if you hear a lot of shushing
\nand shushing going on as I speak<\/p>\n
455
\n00:30:54,800 –> 00:30:59,300
\nto you, it’s not because I’m
\nWelsh talking like Sean Connery,<\/p>\n
456
\n00:30:59,400 –> 00:31:03,500
\nfor instance, it’s because I
\nhave a false tooth. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:31:04,200 –> 00:31:07,000
\nSo my Grinders aren’t what they
\nused to be. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:31:08,500 –> 00:31:12,600
\nBe careful what you eat by the
\nway for brother and sister would<\/p>\n
459
\n00:31:12,600 –> 00:31:14,600
\nbe mortified if I actually told
\nthem. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:31:15,300 –> 00:31:21,100
\nSo the Grinders the sound of the
\nGrinders is low and he shall <\/p>\n
461
\n00:31:21,100 –> 00:31:24,400
\nrise up at the voice of a bird
\nand all the daughters of music <\/p>\n
462
\n00:31:24,400 –> 00:31:26,900
\nshall be brought low.
\nSo what’s he saying the <\/p>\n
463
\n00:31:26,900 –> 00:31:30,500
\ninconsistency of our old age
\nexperience? <\/p>\n
464
\n00:31:31,200 –> 00:31:33,500
\nWe can’t hear what our son is
\ntelling us. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:31:34,000 –> 00:31:37,600
\nWe can’t hear singing, But A
\nBird Goes cheap in the morning. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:31:37,700 –> 00:31:39,000
\nWe’re up.
\nA flash. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:31:39,900 –> 00:31:43,300
\nIsn’t that the truth and it’s so
\nweird but it’s what happens? <\/p>\n
468
\n00:31:43,800 –> 00:31:48,600
\nSo this is a description that is
\nso modern, isn’t it about what <\/p>\n
469
\n00:31:48,600 –> 00:31:51,600
\nhappens to us?
\nNow this we already know is <\/p>\n
470
\n00:31:51,600 –> 00:31:54,700
\nolder people.
\nThis is for the young people to <\/p>\n
471
\n00:31:54,700 –> 00:31:58,500
\npay attention to what he’s doing
\nis he’s starting off by saying, <\/p>\n
472
\n00:31:58,500 –> 00:32:01,000
\nenjoy your youth, but let me
\ntell you how it’s going to go, <\/p>\n
473
\n00:32:01,600 –> 00:32:06,400
\nhow it’s going to go, right?
\nSo when this young man finds his<\/p>\n
474
\n00:32:06,400 –> 00:32:10,100
\nbeautiful young girl with her
\nPretty soft skin and so on, her <\/p>\n
475
\n00:32:10,100 –> 00:32:12,600
\nGrinders are one day going to
\nfall out. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:32:14,100 –> 00:32:18,300
\nThe pillars aren’t going to be
\nso strong, so it’s got to be <\/p>\n
477
\n00:32:18,308 –> 00:32:21,700
\nsomething beyond what she looks
\nlike that that that draws them <\/p>\n
478
\n00:32:21,700 –> 00:32:27,500
\ntogether, right?
\nand so he goes on and he says, <\/p>\n
479
\n00:32:28,300 –> 00:32:34,900
\nalso when they shall be afraid
\nof that, which is high and fear <\/p>\n
480
\n00:32:34,900 –> 00:32:38,500
\nshall be in the way.
\nSo you’re walking along old <\/p>\n
481
\n00:32:38,500 –> 00:32:41,200
\nbrother or sister, and you see,
\nwe have to climb three steps <\/p>\n
482
\n00:32:41,900 –> 00:32:43,900
\nnow, any of the rest of us, just
\nfly up there. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:32:43,900 –> 00:32:48,600
\nLike goats you are taking your
\ntime and assessing in your mind.<\/p>\n
484
\n00:32:49,100 –> 00:32:52,800
\nCan I make that first step?
\nCan I keep my balance? <\/p>\n
485
\n00:32:53,700 –> 00:32:58,100
\nAm I going to falter?
\nAnd if I fall oh no, I could go <\/p>\n
486
\n00:32:58,100 –> 00:32:59,700
\nto the hospital with a broken
\nhip. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:33:00,600 –> 00:33:03,100
\nThis is the reality of this
\nstage of life. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:33:04,600 –> 00:33:08,400
\nAnd the Almond Tree shall
\nflourish and the grasshopper <\/p>\n
489
\n00:33:08,400 –> 00:33:11,800
\nshall be a burden and desire
\nshall fail? <\/p>\n
490
\n00:33:12,100 –> 00:33:15,700
\nBecause man goes to his long
\nhome, and the mourners go about <\/p>\n
491
\n00:33:15,700 –> 00:33:19,300
\nthe streets.
\nSo, so what he’s saying is this <\/p>\n
492
\n00:33:20,100 –> 00:33:24,500
\none day, you will die.
\nThere will be people morning <\/p>\n
493
\n00:33:24,500 –> 00:33:27,800
\nyour death, and that’s reality.
\nNo, it’s not a thing. <\/p>\n
494
\n00:33:27,800 –> 00:33:30,900
\nWe run around and Terror of,
\nthat’s how people do it in <\/p>\n
495
\n00:33:31,100 –> 00:33:34,000
\nAmerica, you hide death away,
\nyou hide. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:33:34,000 –> 00:33:37,700
\nYou want you the society, your
\nHideaway death, your Hideaway <\/p>\n
497
\n00:33:37,700 –> 00:33:42,200
\nold age of, put it far from you
\nas opposed to realizing no, no, <\/p>\n
498
\n00:33:42,500 –> 00:33:47,700
\nno just accept it work with it.
\nCelebrate this stage of life to,<\/p>\n
499
\n00:33:48,500 –> 00:33:54,000
\nit’s even more important than
\nuse. and he goes on and he says,<\/p>\n
500
\n00:33:55,100 –> 00:34:01,500
\nor ever The silver cord be
\nloosed or the Golden Bowl, be <\/p>\n
501
\n00:34:01,500 –> 00:34:06,100
\nbroken, or the pitcher be broken
\nat the fountain or the wheel <\/p>\n
502
\n00:34:06,300 –> 00:34:10,600
\nbroken at the cistern.
\nWhat he’s saying is this? <\/p>\n
503
\n00:34:13,000 –> 00:34:16,800
\nAll these useful things have a
\nmoment where they break. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:34:18,900 –> 00:34:22,699
\nYou have a lab that gives light
\nhanging of a silver cord, it’s <\/p>\n
505
\n00:34:22,699 –> 00:34:26,699
\nmade of gold precious thing.
\nAll you need is one link to snap<\/p>\n
506
\n00:34:27,100 –> 00:34:32,500
\ndone.
\nSmashed and he’s saying you <\/p>\n
507
\n00:34:32,500 –> 00:34:34,600
\ncan’t predict when you are going
\nto die. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:34:36,199 –> 00:34:40,000
\nThat day will come one day, so
\nbefore it happens. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:34:41,300 –> 00:34:43,699
\nThink about what you need to be
\ndoing for your creator. <\/p>\n
510
\n00:34:45,199 –> 00:34:47,800
\nSo, that means old brother or
\nsister. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:34:49,000 –> 00:34:51,100
\nYou’re still a source of light
\ntill the day you die. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:34:53,199 –> 00:34:57,400
\nYou’re still a still a source of
\nthe Water of Life, till the day <\/p>\n
513
\n00:34:57,400 –> 00:35:01,200
\nthat you die.
\nAll the way through to the day <\/p>\n
514
\n00:35:01,200 –> 00:35:05,000
\nthat you die.
\nYou are a useful person. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:35:05,600 –> 00:35:10,300
\nYou are, you may not have
\nthought you were Our society <\/p>\n
516
\n00:35:10,300 –> 00:35:13,300
\ndoesn’t make you think you are,
\nbut boy, does Scripture make you<\/p>\n
517
\n00:35:13,400 –> 00:35:19,100
\nsee the usefulness you have in
\nyour old age. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:35:20,500 –> 00:35:24,300
\nThen he says verse 7, then shall
\nthe dust return to the Earth as <\/p>\n
519
\n00:35:24,300 –> 00:35:29,700
\nit was the spirit shall return.
\nUnto God, who gave it now. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:35:29,700 –> 00:35:34,100
\nYou have a wisdom conditioned by
\nthe acceptance of those things <\/p>\n
521
\n00:35:34,500 –> 00:35:38,900
\nthat the people and the rulers
\nof this world don’t have because<\/p>\n
522
\n00:35:38,900 –> 00:35:41,000
\nthey will not accept those
\nrealities. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:35:41,700 –> 00:35:44,800
\nWe accept them and say, okay,
\nthis is going to happen, let me <\/p>\n
524
\n00:35:44,800 –> 00:35:49,700
\nkeep busy while I can be if if
\nsome major shameful event <\/p>\n
525
\n00:35:49,700 –> 00:35:53,500
\ndoesn’t happen in my life, which
\ncould happen today tomorrow, any<\/p>\n
526
\n00:35:53,500 –> 00:35:59,300
\nday I might have 10 15 years of
\nspeakers life in me. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:36:00,100 –> 00:36:01,700
\nThen I cannot get on a plane
\nagain. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:36:01,700 –> 00:36:03,600
\nI just can’t and won’t have the
\nstrength for it. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:36:04,400 –> 00:36:08,700
\nOr the kingdom will be here.
\nSo assess where you headed, and <\/p>\n
530
\n00:36:08,700 –> 00:36:12,100
\nhow can I keep busy and do
\nsomething of value. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:36:12,700 –> 00:36:19,100
\nWherever I might be at whatever
\nstage of life, Verse 8, that is <\/p>\n
532
\n00:36:19,100 –> 00:36:20,800
\nyour vanity set.
\nThe preacher. <\/p>\n
533
\n00:36:21,100 –> 00:36:25,300
\nAll is Vanity and now it’s not
\nlike a whip crack of pain and <\/p>\n
534
\n00:36:25,300 –> 00:36:28,100
\nsorrow to hear.
\nNow it’s yeah I think I can <\/p>\n
535
\n00:36:28,100 –> 00:36:33,500
\naccept that life.
\nOutside of God is useless and we<\/p>\n
536
\n00:36:33,508 –> 00:36:37,600
\nknew get to an end where we no
\nlonger are of any use. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:36:38,300 –> 00:36:43,000
\nBut while we were live in God’s
\nhand, this much that we can do <\/p>\n
538
\n00:36:44,200 –> 00:36:49,300
\nRemember the most powerful thing
\na human being can do for <\/p>\n
539
\n00:36:49,300 –> 00:36:52,300
\nanother.
\nHuman being is to pray for them <\/p>\n
540
\n00:36:53,200 –> 00:36:57,900
\nto pray for them.
\nEvery one of you has an has <\/p>\n
541
\n00:36:57,900 –> 00:37:02,100
\nstories about how God has
\nanswered your prayers. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:37:02,800 –> 00:37:07,700
\nA very kind brother spoke with
\nme in the break and said, look I<\/p>\n
543
\n00:37:07,700 –> 00:37:09,700
\nget what you said about the
\njudgement seat, but I want to <\/p>\n
544
\n00:37:09,700 –> 00:37:13,300
\npoint this out to you.
\nIf everyday, we are praying for <\/p>\n
545
\n00:37:13,300 –> 00:37:18,000
\nGod’s forgiveness for our sins,
\nthere will not be a scroll full <\/p>\n
546
\n00:37:18,000 –> 00:37:21,500
\nof all the things.
\nWe’ve done wrong, that will be <\/p>\n
547
\n00:37:21,500 –> 00:37:24,700
\nread out to us.
\nBecause according to this song, <\/p>\n
548
\n00:37:24,700 –> 00:37:29,300
\nas far as the East is from the
\nWest, our sins will be forgiven.<\/p>\n
549
\n00:37:30,400 –> 00:37:32,800
\nWe still have to be accountable
\nfor everything that we’ve done. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:37:32,800 –> 00:37:37,600
\nBut we can hope positively that
\nwill have life in God’s kingdom <\/p>\n
551
\n00:37:38,200 –> 00:37:40,500
\nbecause of the Forgiveness of
\nour sins. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:37:41,000 –> 00:37:44,200
\nNow, I think it was a nice way
\nto balance out those comments. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:37:46,000 –> 00:37:49,600
\nFirst night at 9:00 and moreover
\nbecause the preacher was why’s <\/p>\n
554
\n00:37:50,000 –> 00:37:52,600
\nhe still taught the people
\nknowledge. <\/p>\n
555
\n00:37:52,800 –> 00:37:57,800
\nYay, he gave good heed and
\nsought out and set an order. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:37:58,100 –> 00:38:02,900
\nMany Proverbs, it’s an old man
\nwho wrote this little man who <\/p>\n
557
\n00:38:02,900 –> 00:38:06,100
\nmade mistakes.
\nHis heart had been drawn away by<\/p>\n
558
\n00:38:06,100 –> 00:38:10,500
\nForeign wives, he’d made
\nmistakes and had so much and <\/p>\n
559
\n00:38:10,900 –> 00:38:15,100
\nrealized it was all useless
\napart from faith. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:38:15,600 –> 00:38:21,100
\nSo what we are now bearing down
\nupon the destination were about <\/p>\n
561
\n00:38:21,100 –> 00:38:25,300
\nto arrive at is not just an
\nadditional afterthought, like <\/p>\n
562
\n00:38:25,300 –> 00:38:26,700
\nsome commentators.
\nSee it. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:38:26,700 –> 00:38:33,600
\nIt is the full totality and the
\nsome the importance of <\/p>\n
564
\n00:38:33,600 –> 00:38:37,900
\neverything he has said before,
\nand all he is realized, and what<\/p>\n
565
\n00:38:37,900 –> 00:38:43,000
\nwe need to Value above all else.
\nAnd not see Ecclesiastes is a, <\/p>\n
566
\n00:38:43,000 –> 00:38:49,900
\nas a – diatribe Life.
\nIt’s a celebration of life in <\/p>\n
567
\n00:38:49,900 –> 00:38:53,700
\nGod’s truth.
\nIt’s a warning against a life of<\/p>\n
568
\n00:38:53,700 –> 00:38:57,800
\nheedlessness of what is
\nimportant to God. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:38:58,600 –> 00:39:03,500
\nSo that we really value our
\nlives and value what we can do <\/p>\n
570
\n00:39:03,500 –> 00:39:08,500
\nin it that will both make us
\nhappy and that will honor him. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:39:11,100 –> 00:39:15,200
\nVerse 11.
\nThe words of the wise are as <\/p>\n
572
\n00:39:15,200 –> 00:39:23,700
\ngoads and his nails, fastened by
\nthe masters of assemblies. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:39:24,800 –> 00:39:26,400
\nWhich are given from one
\nShepherd. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:39:30,300 –> 00:39:34,100
\nSo a Shepherd gives nails to a
\ngroup of men who go and they <\/p>\n
575
\n00:39:34,100 –> 00:39:37,300
\nfasten them in a wall for people
\nto hang things on. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:39:38,700 –> 00:39:41,800
\nBut it starts with a gold.
\nA sharp stick. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:39:43,500 –> 00:39:47,400
\nThat was used to move an animal
\nforward and product in the right<\/p>\n
578
\n00:39:47,400 –> 00:39:51,100
\ndirection.
\nSo that’s what the words of the <\/p>\n
579
\n00:39:51,100 –> 00:39:54,700
\nwise are.
\nLike, they’re both like goads in<\/p>\n
580
\n00:39:54,700 –> 00:39:59,200
\nour search for truth.
\nBut then they provide nails for <\/p>\n
581
\n00:39:59,200 –> 00:40:02,600
\nus to hang things on our
\nthoughts. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:40:03,800 –> 00:40:07,200
\nOur hopes.
\nOur dreams. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:40:08,700 –> 00:40:10,800
\nThe things we anticipate look
\nforward to. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:40:12,200 –> 00:40:15,900
\nThose are the nails.
\nBut, you know, there is there is<\/p>\n
585
\n00:40:15,900 –> 00:40:24,400
\nsomeone who is both a wise man.
\nand to Shepherd, His words act <\/p>\n
586
\n00:40:24,400 –> 00:40:28,800
\nas God’s to us and he’s like a
\nnail for us. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:40:29,700 –> 00:40:33,900
\nLet’s take a quick look then.
\nAnd Isaiah chapter 22. <\/p>\n
588
\n00:40:36,900 –> 00:40:39,500
\nIsaiah 22.
\nAnd we’re going to look at <\/p>\n
589
\n00:40:39,500 –> 00:40:45,400
\nverses 20 to 25.
\nNow, look what it says. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:40:47,400 –> 00:40:50,700
\nAnd it shall come to pass in
\nthat day that I will call my <\/p>\n
591
\n00:40:50,700 –> 00:40:54,900
\nservant Alia came the son of
\nhilkiah and I will clothe him <\/p>\n
592
\n00:40:55,200 –> 00:40:58,200
\nwith thy robe and strengthen him
\nwith I girdle. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:40:58,400 –> 00:41:01,500
\nAnd I will commit that
\ngovernment into his hand and he <\/p>\n
594
\n00:41:01,500 –> 00:41:05,800
\nshall be a father to the
\ninhabitants of Jerusalem into <\/p>\n
595
\n00:41:05,800 –> 00:41:09,500
\nthe house of Judah, and the key
\nof the House of David, will I <\/p>\n
596
\n00:41:09,500 –> 00:41:13,200
\nlay upon his shoulder.
\nHe shall open and None Shall <\/p>\n
597
\n00:41:13,200 –> 00:41:15,000
\nshut.
\nHe shall shut. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:41:15,200 –> 00:41:19,500
\nAnd None Shall open.
\nAnd I will Asking him as a nail.<\/p>\n
599
\n00:41:20,700 –> 00:41:26,400
\nIn a short place.
\nAnd he shall be for a throne of <\/p>\n
600
\n00:41:26,400 –> 00:41:31,500
\nGlory to his father’s house and
\nthey shall hang upon him, all <\/p>\n
601
\n00:41:31,500 –> 00:41:35,300
\nthe glory of his father’s house
\nThe Offspring. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:41:35,500 –> 00:41:39,800
\nAnd the issue all vessels of
\nsmall quantity, from the vessels<\/p>\n
603
\n00:41:39,800 –> 00:41:45,700
\nof Cups, even to all the vessels
\nof flagons, That day set, the <\/p>\n
604
\n00:41:45,707 –> 00:41:50,400
\nLord of hosts shall the nailed.
\nIt is fastened in the shore, <\/p>\n
605
\n00:41:50,400 –> 00:41:57,500
\nplace be removed and be cut down
\nand fail, and the burden that <\/p>\n
606
\n00:41:57,500 –> 00:42:00,300
\nwas upon.
\nIt shall be cut off for the Lord<\/p>\n
607
\n00:42:00,300 –> 00:42:04,500
\nhath spoken it.
\nSo there’s a nail that is going <\/p>\n
608
\n00:42:04,500 –> 00:42:09,200
\nto be cut down and removed.
\nBut then there’s another nail. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:42:10,200 –> 00:42:15,500
\nUpon which the glory of God will
\nhang. and of course you can <\/p>\n
610
\n00:42:15,500 –> 00:42:20,800
\nthink in terms of well, those
\nleaders of Israel, those leaders<\/p>\n
611
\n00:42:20,800 –> 00:42:25,200
\nwho failed along the way and
\nwere, who were not Faithful Men <\/p>\n
612
\n00:42:25,700 –> 00:42:30,200
\nNails, the people hung things on
\nthat fell out of the wall, or <\/p>\n
613
\n00:42:30,200 –> 00:42:34,400
\nwere broken down and cut out by
\npeople like Assyrians and <\/p>\n
614
\n00:42:34,400 –> 00:42:39,500
\nBabylonians and Romans, Then
\nthere is at Shore nail. <\/p>\n
615
\n00:42:40,500 –> 00:42:44,300
\nThat we hang our hopes on even
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
616
\n00:42:45,300 –> 00:42:49,100
\nThe words of the wise, the
\nBible. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:42:50,600 –> 00:42:54,800
\nGives us something to hang our
\nhopes on. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:42:57,100 –> 00:43:01,200
\nAnd the Bible tells us primarily
\nabout the Lord Jesus Christ from<\/p>\n
619
\n00:43:01,200 –> 00:43:06,100
\nbeginning, all the way through
\nto the end, he is both a gold <\/p>\n
620
\n00:43:06,700 –> 00:43:09,900
\nand a nail.
\nHe is both the wise man. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:43:10,800 –> 00:43:16,000
\nAnd the one Shepherd Of us his
\nsheep. <\/p>\n
622
\n00:43:17,300 –> 00:43:21,000
\nAnd further my son, be
\nadmonished of making many books.<\/p>\n
623
\n00:43:21,000 –> 00:43:25,400
\nThere is no end and much study
\nis a weariness of the Flesh and <\/p>\n
624
\n00:43:25,400 –> 00:43:29,800
\nthat to his true.
\nWe need to enjoy life. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:43:30,700 –> 00:43:34,800
\nCelebrate life.
\nBut at the same time, recognize <\/p>\n
626
\n00:43:34,800 –> 00:43:40,300
\nthat study is important but we
\ncannot be doing that 24 hours a <\/p>\n
627
\n00:43:40,308 –> 00:43:45,000
\nday, every day.
\nSo verse 13, he then sums it all<\/p>\n
628
\n00:43:45,000 –> 00:43:49,700
\nup and some commentators say ah,
\nsuggested this is an additional <\/p>\n
629
\n00:43:49,700 –> 00:43:52,200
\nnote boobs.
\nPut in there at some point in <\/p>\n
630
\n00:43:52,200 –> 00:43:53,300
\ntime.
\nNo, it’s not. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:43:53,700 –> 00:43:57,600
\nIt’s the whole point.
\nThis is the whole point. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:43:58,300 –> 00:44:01,200
\nLook what he says, let’s hear
\nthe conclusion of the whole <\/p>\n
633
\n00:44:01,200 –> 00:44:04,400
\nmatter.
\nFear God. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:44:06,400 –> 00:44:11,800
\nKeep his Commandments.
\nFor this is the whole of man. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:44:14,400 –> 00:44:18,300
\nNow that word duty is added in
\nthere. so, what this is saying <\/p>\n
636
\n00:44:18,300 –> 00:44:26,100
\nis this Our whole life.
\nHas to be colored. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:44:28,200 –> 00:44:32,000
\nHas to be tinged with this
\ndecision. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:44:33,100 –> 00:44:36,200
\nTo fear God and to keep his
\nCommandments. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:44:36,200 –> 00:44:41,100
\nAnd when we fail to seek
\nforgiveness, Fear God and keep <\/p>\n
640
\n00:44:41,100 –> 00:44:43,900
\nhis Commandments.
\nThat’s the whole of man. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:44:44,500 –> 00:44:47,100
\nSo what are you saying?
\nIs this, the Hall of man is not <\/p>\n
642
\n00:44:47,100 –> 00:44:50,100
\nmoney.
\nIt’s not women. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:44:51,200 –> 00:44:59,300
\nIt’s not power, it’s not land.
\nIt’s not Gardens and pools. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:45:00,100 –> 00:45:05,200
\nIt’s not horses and armies.
\nThe whole of man. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:45:06,600 –> 00:45:13,000
\nIs Duty.
\nWe were created for Duty. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:45:14,700 –> 00:45:19,200
\nFor service.
\nHer giving back to God. <\/p>\n
647
\n00:45:20,300 –> 00:45:25,300
\nIngratitude and rejoicing in all
\nof his blessings to us. <\/p>\n
648
\n00:45:26,700 –> 00:45:29,900
\nFor God shall bring every work
\ninto judgment with every secret <\/p>\n
649
\n00:45:29,900 –> 00:45:32,200
\nthing.
\nWhether it be good or whether it<\/p>\n
650
\n00:45:32,200 –> 00:45:35,700
\nbe evil.
\nNow what is that to do to put us<\/p>\n
651
\n00:45:35,700 –> 00:45:37,600
\ndown into a negative frame of
\nmind? <\/p>\n
652
\n00:45:37,600 –> 00:45:40,700
\nNo, it’s say this.
\nFear God and keep his <\/p>\n
653
\n00:45:40,700 –> 00:45:44,700
\nCommandments, you know you’ll
\nhave to do you’ll have to deal <\/p>\n
654
\n00:45:45,000 –> 00:45:49,200
\nwith things that you do or say
\nor think that are well that are <\/p>\n
655
\n00:45:49,400 –> 00:45:53,300
\nthat are evil.
\nSo, step away from those things <\/p>\n
656
\n00:45:53,700 –> 00:45:58,400
\nas best you can and fear.
\nGod keep his Commandments <\/p>\n
657
\n00:45:58,400 –> 00:46:02,200
\nbecause that’s the whole of what
\nwe are to be all about. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:46:02,700 –> 00:46:05,900
\nNow, right now we do that in
\nfits and starts because we’re <\/p>\n
659
\n00:46:05,900 –> 00:46:09,700
\nhuman and we’re faulty and we’re
\nmortal. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:46:10,400 –> 00:46:11,900
\nBut in God’s kingdom.
\nBoy. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:46:11,900 –> 00:46:14,200
\nOh boy.
\nWill that be absolutely <\/p>\n
662
\n00:46:14,200 –> 00:46:19,100
\nfulfilled.
\nThe whole of what we will be. <\/p>\n
663
\n00:46:20,400 –> 00:46:23,800
\nWill be all about service to God
\nfearing him. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:46:24,900 –> 00:46:27,700
\nAnd keeping his Commandments the
\nold brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:46:29,300 –> 00:46:33,100
\nShare your experiences.
\nTell people your stories. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:46:34,200 –> 00:46:36,400
\nTalk about God’s hand in your
\nlife. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:46:36,400 –> 00:46:40,000
\nWhat he’s done for you?
