Class 3 from this series was used in GCT Episode 197<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:02,700 –> 00:00:04,700
\nBible School.
\nOur first period teachers for <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:04,700 –> 00:00:07,500
\nthe dev Ram shree.
\nIn his General subject is the <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:07,500 –> 00:00:11,400
\nwhole duty of man.
\nToday’s topic is counsel for <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:11,400 –> 00:00:15,400
\nuncertainty brother Dev.
\nWell, that was the end of the <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:15,400 –> 00:00:20,400
\nweirdest set of announcements
\nI’ve ever heard in all my years <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:20,400 –> 00:00:24,700
\nin the truth.
\nBut they would wake us up every <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:24,700 –> 00:00:27,800
\nmorning, wouldn’t they?
\nWe would look forward to the <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:27,800 –> 00:00:31,200
\nannouncements after the first
\nset that shocked us and then we <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:31,200 –> 00:00:34,800
\nwould look forward to it after
\nthat, and it was always fun. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:35,700 –> 00:00:38,900
\nVanity of vanities.
\nAll is Vanity. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:41,000 –> 00:00:44,700
\nThat’s what the preacher says,
\nwhat profit is there? <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:46,800 –> 00:00:51,600
\nOf all that a man labors in.
\nThrough the days of his life. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:53,000 –> 00:00:56,000
\nNow, it starts off in that place
\nand the impression that you <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:56,000 –> 00:01:00,300
\nwould get is at this book is
\nvery dark and everything that is<\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:00,300 –> 00:01:03,100
\nin.
\nIt is altogether depressing, he <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:03,100 –> 00:01:07,000
\nkeeps talking about death, we
\nmake money, we do these things, <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:07,000 –> 00:01:10,400
\nwe have fun, and they would die,
\nand all ends in death. <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:12,400 –> 00:01:15,300
\nBut if we interpreted from the
\npoint of view of a Believer, it <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:15,300 –> 00:01:17,300
\nhas a different opposite
\nmessage. <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:18,400 –> 00:01:23,400
\nAnd this is the message.
\nDon’t get so taken up with the <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:23,400 –> 00:01:27,100
\nthings of this life.
\nThat you forget? <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:28,500 –> 00:01:36,000
\nWhere we’re headed as believers.
\nYour life in this world ends in <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:36,000 –> 00:01:40,300
\ndeath so that means you’ve got a
\ntimeline that you’re working to <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:41,100 –> 00:01:45,300
\nbe busy in it.
\nEnjoy your life, enjoy the <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:45,300 –> 00:01:48,500
\nblessings.
\nYou receive from God, honor him <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:49,600 –> 00:01:54,100
\nhonor him in this life and see
\nthe things that you have as <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:54,100 –> 00:01:58,700
\nblessings from him, that you
\nought to be able to enjoy So you<\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:58,700 –> 00:02:02,900
\ndon’t walk around furtively
\ncarrying a burden of guilt on <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:02,900 –> 00:02:07,000
\nyour shoulders that you well
\nthat you you have a life or you <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:07,000 –> 00:02:08,900
\nhave some Prosperity that you
\ncan enjoy. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:09,199 –> 00:02:12,600
\nThe prosperity of this life is
\nnot our Focus. <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:13,600 –> 00:02:16,200
\nIt’s not our focus, our focus is
\nthe kingdom. <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:16,900 –> 00:02:21,400
\nAnd while we have life while we
\nhave breath in our lungs, this <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:21,400 –> 00:02:26,300
\nwork for us to do and we saw on
\nMonday night that well, as an <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:26,300 –> 00:02:31,300
\nold man or old woman and I knew
\nthat that would lurk you. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:31,400 –> 00:02:33,400
\nI knew it would make.
\nI’m not old. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:33,900 –> 00:02:38,800
\nI’m only 100 years old old.
\nHe’s old. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:38,800 –> 00:02:43,200
\nI’m not old.
\nI used it deliberately because <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:43,200 –> 00:02:45,400
\nit’s Fashionable.
\nIn this world we’re living in <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:45,400 –> 00:02:50,600
\ntoday but we are old.
\nYou are old relish, it. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:51,800 –> 00:02:55,700
\nCelebrated.
\nIt is not something that somehow<\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:55,700 –> 00:02:59,400
\nis a curse that has fallen upon
\nyou and an unfortunate stage of <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:59,400 –> 00:03:04,200
\nlife.
\nIt is the best phase of your <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:04,200 –> 00:03:06,200
\nlife.
\nNo matter what. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:06,200 –> 00:03:10,500
\nOur society says, about old age,
\nTon of wisdom. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:11,600 –> 00:03:16,700
\nIt’s a time of recognition.
\nIt’s a time of realizing how <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:16,700 –> 00:03:20,400
\nactive God has been in your life
\nall the way through, right up <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:20,400 –> 00:03:24,300
\ntill now.
\nIt’s a time of grandchildren and<\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:24,300 –> 00:03:28,200
\ngreat-grandchildren and seeing
\nthe generations. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:28,600 –> 00:03:30,500
\nOh yes.
\nYou see the challenges. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:30,500 –> 00:03:32,700
\nYou see what’s not working,
\nright? <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:32,700 –> 00:03:36,900
\nBut you also have the joy of
\nthose relationships. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:37,600 –> 00:03:40,500
\nIt’s a time where your
\nrelationships with your friends <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:40,500 –> 00:03:43,500
\nthat are still alive becomes
\neven more precious because, you <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:43,500 –> 00:03:49,200
\nknow, each day is a gift, it
\nalways was But she didn’t <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:49,200 –> 00:03:53,300
\nrealize it till now.
\nIt always was a gift. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:54,300 –> 00:03:58,400
\nIt’s a time of life where if
\nyour wife or your husband is <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:58,400 –> 00:04:02,300
\nstill at your side, even though
\nsome days you drive each other <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:02,300 –> 00:04:06,000
\ncrazy, and I’m not using that
\nword in the clinical sense. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:08,500 –> 00:04:12,100
\nEven though you may have your
\ndays when you get on each <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:12,100 –> 00:04:17,800
\nother’s nerves, it is a
\ntremendous blessing to have that<\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:17,800 –> 00:04:23,700
\ngift of another human being
\nkeeping company with you along <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:23,700 –> 00:04:28,700
\nthe road to God’s Kingdom.
\nSo the vanity of vanities B is <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:28,700 –> 00:04:33,500
\nto is to give us a bracing, bit
\nof knowledge, don’t forget this <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:33,500 –> 00:04:36,900
\nlife ends.
\nDon’t get wrapped up in it. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:38,900 –> 00:04:41,900
\nBe always about thankfulness to
\nGod. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:42,100 –> 00:04:44,900
\nEnjoy?
\nWhat he’s given you, but get <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:44,900 –> 00:04:47,500
\nready for his kingdom.
\nThat’s the message. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:48,600 –> 00:04:51,200
\nFor a man of this world, a woman
\nof this world. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:51,400 –> 00:04:55,100
\nThis is a dire message because
\nit says all that you have is <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:55,100 –> 00:04:56,500
\ngoing to be ripped away from
\nyou. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:56,500 –> 00:05:02,100
\nThe minute you stop breathing.
\nAll you wasted your time on all <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:02,100 –> 00:05:04,700
\nyou were obsessed.
\nWith all you thought was the <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:04,700 –> 00:05:08,700
\nmost important gone with you and
\nyour God. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:09,300 –> 00:05:16,200
\nYou’re done, Dever, am Tren,
\n1962 Dash, whatever the entire <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:16,200 –> 00:05:21,000
\nthing, summed up in a dash.
\nAnd that’s what their life is. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:21,800 –> 00:05:24,300
\nThis is the dash world.
\nWe’re living in. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:25,200 –> 00:05:31,400
\nBut we are not Dash people.
\nWe go on and on, and on you, <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:31,400 –> 00:05:36,400
\nfall asleep in the Lord.
\nWhat happens you wake up just <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:36,400 –> 00:05:41,600
\nlike that because time, Time
\ndidn’t happen to you anymore. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:42,700 –> 00:05:45,700
\nYou died.
\nYou woke up at the Judgment <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:45,700 –> 00:05:48,900
\nseat.
\nLaying before the Lord and <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:48,900 –> 00:05:53,100
\nhearing everything you’ve said
\nand done all those things that <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:53,100 –> 00:05:56,400
\nwill be revealed that you, you
\nkept covered up because you were<\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:56,400 –> 00:05:59,300
\nashamed.
\nLike me, all of us have those <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:59,300 –> 00:06:04,000
\nthings.
\nAnd then you hear the words of <\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:04,000 –> 00:06:06,400
\nMercy, not great.
\nHope that we have. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:07,400 –> 00:06:11,000
\nEnter into the joy of your
\nfather’s Kingdom. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:12,100 –> 00:06:16,000
\nNow, that’s beyond the dash.
\nThat’s our Focus. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:16,700 –> 00:06:22,900
\nSo then, does this period of our
\nlives and I say our with you <\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:24,100 –> 00:06:29,100
\nDoes it constitute the most
\nmiserable difficult awful? <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:29,500 –> 00:06:32,200
\nYou know, depressing stage of
\nOur Lives? <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:33,500 –> 00:06:35,100
\nOr are we getting ready for a
\ntrip? <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:37,600 –> 00:06:39,200
\nRemember, how you got ready to?
\nCome here? <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:40,400 –> 00:06:45,100
\nYou hauled out the suitcase.
\nTony put in about 50 dresses, 10<\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:45,100 –> 00:06:50,300
\npairs of pants.
\nAnd wondered if she’d remember <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:50,300 –> 00:06:52,300
\nthat special sweater, she was
\ngoing to bring. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:53,000 –> 00:06:55,100
\nAll right?
\nAnd you haul. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:55,100 –> 00:06:58,600
\nThat thing out that you were
\nvery careful, exactly what you <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:58,600 –> 00:07:01,300
\nwere packing.
\nWell that’s how the stage of <\/p>\n
102
\n00:07:01,300 –> 00:07:04,400
\nyour life has to become.
\nWhat are you packing into it? <\/p>\n
103
\n00:07:05,600 –> 00:07:08,000
\nWhat are you leaving behind and
\nin people? <\/p>\n
104
\n00:07:09,300 –> 00:07:13,100
\nWhat kind of Peace are you
\ntrying to make celebrate this <\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:13,100 –> 00:07:16,800
\nstage of your life?
\nOh, it hurts joints fingers, <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:16,800 –> 00:07:20,500
\ncan’t turn the pages properly,
\nwrite all of those things. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:20,500 –> 00:07:24,100
\nYes, but that’s just stuff on
\nthe side. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:24,100 –> 00:07:25,800
\nThat’s going to happen to
\neveryone. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:27,000 –> 00:07:29,900
\nCelebrate, what?
\nYou know to be true. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:31,000 –> 00:07:35,400
\nWho, you know, to be worth
\nleaning on and relying on. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:36,400 –> 00:07:41,900
\nAnd be the kind of person who
\nquietly. but at the same time <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:41,900 –> 00:07:47,200
\nintentionally, Preachers God
\ntruth God’s truth to people <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:47,200 –> 00:07:50,700
\ninside the truth in your family.
\nWherever you may be find <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:50,700 –> 00:07:53,400
\nyourself.
\nThis is what you do in your last<\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:53,400 –> 00:07:57,200
\nstage of life. and when you look
\nat the people that are around, <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:57,200 –> 00:08:03,400
\nyou everyday is a fond farewell
\nIt’s like the end of this Bible <\/p>\n
117
\n00:08:03,400 –> 00:08:06,500
\nSchool.
\nEvery time your son daughter, <\/p>\n
118
\n00:08:06,600 –> 00:08:10,800
\ngrandkids great-grandchildren,
\nleave your place where you are. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:11,400 –> 00:08:14,100
\nIt’s a fond farewell.
\nI don’t know if I’ll see you <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:14,100 –> 00:08:18,100
\nagain, this side of the Kingdom,
\nbut my hope is, I’ll see you on <\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:18,100 –> 00:08:22,400
\nthe other side.
\nSo we go then to chapter 8, <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:23,400 –> 00:08:31,500
\nchapter 8.
\nSo, who is the wise man? <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:32,400 –> 00:08:34,799
\nAnd who knows the interpretation
\nof a thing? <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:35,799 –> 00:08:37,299
\nHe says something quite
\ninteresting. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:37,299 –> 00:08:43,600
\nHe says this A man’s Wisdom,
\nmakes his face to shine. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:45,500 –> 00:08:51,800
\nAnd the sternness.
\nThe hardness of his face. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:52,800 –> 00:08:56,900
\nIs changed.
\nNow, Abe Lincoln is supposed to <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:56,900 –> 00:09:05,600
\nhave said, every man.
\nOver 40 is responsible for his <\/p>\n
129
\n00:09:05,600 –> 00:09:16,700
\nface. if you have a miserable
\nscowl, And you look at life, <\/p>\n
130
\n00:09:17,700 –> 00:09:19,900
\nthat’s what people see.
\nYou look like one of those <\/p>\n
131
\n00:09:19,900 –> 00:09:23,800
\nwrinkly dogs, you know the ones
\nI’m talking about, you’re <\/p>\n
132
\n00:09:23,800 –> 00:09:27,400
\nresponsible for that.
\nLook it’s not a thing that <\/p>\n
133
\n00:09:27,400 –> 00:09:30,400
\nhappened to you.
\nIt’s a thing that you made. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:30,400 –> 00:09:37,900
\nSo what this is saying is this
\nOur knowledge of the truth and <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:37,900 –> 00:09:42,600
\nour understanding, and our
\ngladness about the love of God, <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:42,600 –> 00:09:45,700
\nand the gospel, and what our
\nLord did for us. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:46,900 –> 00:09:51,600
\nIt changes our face.
\nIt puts into our face. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:53,100 –> 00:09:55,400
\nA joyfulness.
\nIt’s right under the skin. <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:56,700 –> 00:10:02,700
\nA calm and acceptance a
\nrecognition that life may have <\/p>\n
140
\n00:10:02,700 –> 00:10:08,200
\nits troubles its challenges and
\nits tears but ultimately we have<\/p>\n
141
\n00:10:08,200 –> 00:10:12,300
\nso much to be grateful for
\nsomeone should be happy about <\/p>\n
142
\n00:10:12,300 –> 00:10:14,200
\nit.
\nAs oh. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:10:14,300 –> 00:10:18,400
\nSo that’s why it says our face
\nis altered. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:10:19,500 –> 00:10:24,400
\nBy the things we realize about
\nGod, about the truth. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:10:25,300 –> 00:10:29,300
\nAnd about the blessings.
\nWe have received Then he has a <\/p>\n
146
\n00:10:29,400 –> 00:10:32,700
\nnumber of verses where he talks
\nabout making sure you will Bei. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:10:32,700 –> 00:10:36,300
\nThe king, do not fool around
\nwith those who are in Authority.<\/p>\n
148
\n00:10:36,600 –> 00:10:44,500
\nYou never know when the when the
\nthat, that heavy fist of rebuke <\/p>\n
149
\n00:10:44,500 –> 00:10:48,300
\nor discipline by the authorities
\ncan fall upon us. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:49,000 –> 00:10:53,500
\nNow, in that the days of
\nSolomon, it is more than likely <\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:53,500 –> 00:10:55,100
\nthat, the king had all kinds of
\npower. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:55,100 –> 00:10:58,400
\nThat a ruler today would not
\nhave accept. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:58,500 –> 00:11:02,900
\nWho might be a tyrant in North
\nKorea or Russia or one of those <\/p>\n
154
\n00:11:02,900 –> 00:11:07,200
\ncountries that we know of today.
\nAnd we see tyranny in action <\/p>\n
155
\n00:11:07,300 –> 00:11:12,600
\nright now as we are here
\nassembled together, So he says <\/p>\n
156
\n00:11:12,900 –> 00:11:16,000
\nmake sure that you’re careful as
\nit relates to the authorities <\/p>\n
157
\n00:11:16,200 –> 00:11:20,200
\naround us verse 6.
\nHe says to every purpose there <\/p>\n
158
\n00:11:20,200 –> 00:11:25,900
\nis a time and judgment.
\nTherefore, the evil, the evil of<\/p>\n
159
\n00:11:25,900 –> 00:11:31,100
\nman is great upon him for he
\nknows not that, which shall be <\/p>\n
160
\n00:11:31,200 –> 00:11:34,000
\nfor who can tell him when it
\nshall be. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:11:35,100 –> 00:11:39,000
\nThere’s just been talking about
\nrulers about the authorities and<\/p>\n
162
\n00:11:39,000 –> 00:11:43,800
\nthen he talks about the the fact
\nthat we are inherently evil and <\/p>\n
163
\n00:11:43,800 –> 00:11:47,800
\nreally, he’s talking about the
\nfact that people in absolute <\/p>\n
164
\n00:11:47,800 –> 00:11:52,300
\npower or prone to doing wrong
\nand terrible things. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:53,100 –> 00:11:57,500
\nWe see it happening right now,
\nright now today, Robin terrible <\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:57,500 –> 00:12:01,700
\nthings.
\nAnd he says, they don’t know <\/p>\n
167
\n00:12:01,700 –> 00:12:03,400
\nwhat’s going to happen to them.
\nIn the end. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:12:03,800 –> 00:12:08,200
\nThey have no clue verse 8.
\nThere is no man that hath power <\/p>\n
169
\n00:12:08,200 –> 00:12:12,900
\nof the spirit to hold, on to it.
\nJeff Bezos. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:12:13,100 –> 00:12:17,900
\nAll of these people they cannot
\nhold on to the life that’s in <\/p>\n
171
\n00:12:17,900 –> 00:12:23,000
\nthem.
\nThere is no discharge in that <\/p>\n
172
\n00:12:23,000 –> 00:12:26,100
\nwar were fighting which involves
\ndeath at the end. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:12:26,600 –> 00:12:30,300
\nWhat he’s saying is this
\nsoldiers might get a discharge <\/p>\n
174
\n00:12:30,400 –> 00:12:33,400
\nin the days of Israel because
\nthey would newly married or <\/p>\n
175
\n00:12:33,400 –> 00:12:36,600
\nwhatever the case may be.
\nThey had these exemptions and <\/p>\n
176
\n00:12:36,600 –> 00:12:40,000
\ntoday soldiers have certain
\nexemptions which allow them to <\/p>\n
177
\n00:12:40,000 –> 00:12:44,900
\nhave an honorable discharge but
\nthere’s no discharge in this war<\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:44,900 –> 00:12:48,800
\nagainst death.
\nWe are all going to be conquered<\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:48,800 –> 00:12:52,000
\nby it at some point in time,
\nsome with no hope. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:53,200 –> 00:13:00,100
\nBut us with hope, the hope that
\nwe will see Life Beyond Death At<\/p>\n
181
\n00:13:00,100 –> 00:13:04,000
\nThe Return of the Lord.
\nNeither shall the wicked deliver<\/p>\n
182
\n00:13:04,000 –> 00:13:07,900
\nthose the winch out wickedness
\ndeliver those that are given to <\/p>\n
183
\n00:13:07,900 –> 00:13:11,600
\nit.
\nSo right now Vladimir Putin is <\/p>\n
184
\n00:13:12,100 –> 00:13:17,600
\nbombing hospitals in Kiev.
\nHospitals, but there are <\/p>\n
185
\n00:13:17,600 –> 00:13:21,700
\nchildren.
\nNow that wickedness is not going<\/p>\n
186
\n00:13:21,700 –> 00:13:25,500
\nto deliver him and we just use
\nhim as an example, because he’s <\/p>\n
187
\n00:13:25,500 –> 00:13:31,900
\na very powerful current example
\nof men trusting in wickedness to<\/p>\n
188
\n00:13:31,900 –> 00:13:36,300
\nget something, they think is
\ngoing to make them happy, but it<\/p>\n
189
\n00:13:36,300 –> 00:13:42,200
\nwon’t and his wickedness, no
\nmatter how clever he is, is not <\/p>\n
190
\n00:13:42,200 –> 00:13:45,300
\ngoing to deliver him in the end.
\nNow, there’s a comfort for us of<\/p>\n
191
\n00:13:45,300 –> 00:13:47,200
\nthat.
\nThe world around looks at what’s<\/p>\n
192
\n00:13:47,200 –> 00:13:50,200
\nhappening and all they see is
\nthe Terrible. <\/p>\n
193
\n00:13:50,200 –> 00:13:55,500
\nDark shadow of tyranny spreading
\nacross Europe, the way Nazism <\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:55,500 –> 00:14:00,900
\nhad done the 1930s and 1940s.
\nFor us, we see something <\/p>\n
195
\n00:14:00,900 –> 00:14:04,000
\ndifferent.
\nWe see a man with an end and God<\/p>\n
196
\n00:14:04,000 –> 00:14:05,600
\nwill take him out at some point
\nin time. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:14:06,400 –> 00:14:08,800
\nThat’s what we see.
\nSo there’s an inherent <\/p>\n
198
\n00:14:08,800 –> 00:14:10,300
\nhopefulness.
\nOf the way, we look at the <\/p>\n
199
\n00:14:10,308 –> 00:14:14,400
\nsituation, we feel terrible for
\nour brothers and sisters in the <\/p>\n
200
\n00:14:14,400 –> 00:14:17,100
\nUkraine.
\nAnd in Russia, who will now have<\/p>\n
201
\n00:14:17,300 –> 00:14:22,400
\nterrible times of deprivation of
\nnear famine conditions. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:14:22,700 –> 00:14:26,600
\nNothing in the grocery stores,
\nno money to buy things with, <\/p>\n
203
\n00:14:27,100 –> 00:14:29,300
\nthat’s what our Russian brothers
\nand sisters will have. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:14:29,500 –> 00:14:33,700
\nDeal with.
\nIt’ll be like, living in Germany<\/p>\n
205
\n00:14:33,700 –> 00:14:37,900
\njust after the war where people
\nhad to eat cats and dogs to stay<\/p>\n
206
\n00:14:37,900 –> 00:14:41,000
\nalive.
\nThat’s what our Russian brothers<\/p>\n
207
\n00:14:41,000 –> 00:14:44,300
\nand sisters might go through, if
\nwe’re not able to get help to <\/p>\n
208
\n00:14:44,300 –> 00:14:47,800
\nthem through agencies, like the
\nCBM of the wonderful work that <\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:48,100 –> 00:14:52,200
\nthe mark and Mary and others are
\ndoing so selflessly. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:53,600 –> 00:14:57,700
\nBut all that will come to an end
\nwith the return of the Lord <\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:57,700 –> 00:15:03,100
\nJesus Christ.
\nSo we go on then and we’re going<\/p>\n
212
\n00:15:03,100 –> 00:15:06,900
\nto move past that.
\nBy the way, I’m going to try to <\/p>\n
213
\n00:15:06,900 –> 00:15:09,300
\nend a little early in this
\nsession so you can have some <\/p>\n
214
\n00:15:09,300 –> 00:15:13,500
\nmore socializing time and then
\nmaybe the second session will be<\/p>\n
215
\n00:15:13,500 –> 00:15:21,200
\nthe the prescribed amount of
\ntime verse 11, because sentence <\/p>\n
216
\n00:15:21,200 –> 00:15:24,500
\nagainst an evil work is not
\nexecuted speedily. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:15:25,200 –> 00:15:27,900
\nTherefore, the heart of the sons
\nof men is fully set in them to <\/p>\n
218
\n00:15:27,900 –> 00:15:33,600
\ndo evil and boys at being Rated
\nright now today they don’t see <\/p>\n
219
\n00:15:33,600 –> 00:15:38,500
\nGod doing what he does and and
\nrebuking and disciplining them <\/p>\n
220
\n00:15:38,500 –> 00:15:43,700
\non the spot.
\nNow how do we frame these things<\/p>\n
221
\n00:15:43,700 –> 00:15:45,800
\nand find a way to make sense of
\nit all? <\/p>\n
222
\n00:15:46,600 –> 00:15:50,000
\nWe read in an earlier.
\nPassage that God takes our lives<\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:50,000 –> 00:15:53,700
\nand he interleaves good days and
\nbad days. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:53,700 –> 00:15:58,500
\nYou remember that?
\nAnd he does it so that we can’t <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:58,600 –> 00:16:02,800
\npredict what’s going to happen
\nand relax and we can’t figure <\/p>\n
226
\n00:16:02,800 –> 00:16:05,900
\nhim out because we don’t know
\nwhat he’s going to do next, the <\/p>\n
227
\n00:16:05,900 –> 00:16:08,100
\nend result is it throws us upon
\nhim. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:16:09,200 –> 00:16:12,900
\nFor help for our support, for
\nguidance. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:16:13,000 –> 00:16:18,800
\nIf everything.
\nWas happy sunshiny days. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:16:19,100 –> 00:16:22,200
\nWe wouldn’t need God.
\nWe wouldn’t reach out to him. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:16:23,400 –> 00:16:25,500
\nWe wouldn’t even pay much
\nattention to him because <\/p>\n
232
\n00:16:26,000 –> 00:16:29,700
\neverything’s going great.
\nSo those times that are not <\/p>\n
233
\n00:16:29,700 –> 00:16:33,200
\ngood.
\nPushes towards him. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:16:34,700 –> 00:16:36,700
\nNow, the same thing happens in
\nthe world. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:16:37,700 –> 00:16:42,300
\nThere are good periods and then
\nthere are rough periods. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:16:42,800 –> 00:16:45,800
\nNow, we are largely sheltered
\nfrom what the rest of the world <\/p>\n
237
\n00:16:45,800 –> 00:16:50,800
\ngoes through?
\nWho are used to famine, who are <\/p>\n
238
\n00:16:50,800 –> 00:16:58,200
\nused to pandemics?
\nWho are used to evil leaders who<\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:58,200 –> 00:17:01,000
\nhave the freedom of the power to
\ndo whatever they want you to <\/p>\n
240
\n00:17:01,000 –> 00:17:04,099
\ntheir populations and no one can
\nstop them. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:17:04,400 –> 00:17:06,300
\nWe’re largely sheltered from
\nthat. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:17:07,400 –> 00:17:12,200
\nWhat has brought it close is
\nwhat’s happening in Europe today<\/p>\n
243
\n00:17:12,900 –> 00:17:16,900
\nbecause this is now touching the
\nWestern World were used to <\/p>\n
244
\n00:17:16,900 –> 00:17:20,099
\nseeing things like this happen
\nin Africa in the Middle East, <\/p>\n
245
\n00:17:20,099 –> 00:17:24,099
\nbut we’re not used to seeing
\nthis coming to Europe with the <\/p>\n
246
\n00:17:24,099 –> 00:17:28,500
\nfeeling that it might somehow
\ntouch people in the United <\/p>\n
247
\n00:17:28,500 –> 00:17:33,900
\nStates and Canada and Britain.
\nThe English-speaking countries <\/p>\n
248
\n00:17:33,900 –> 00:17:37,200
\nof the world that we feel a
\nkinship, with Australia, New <\/p>\n
249
\n00:17:37,200 –> 00:17:40,300
\nZealand, South Africa, the
\nCaribbean, and so on and so <\/p>\n
250
\n00:17:40,300 –> 00:17:43,500
\nforth.
\nThere’s a sense that could <\/p>\n
251
\n00:17:43,500 –> 00:17:48,300
\nthings move closer.
\nWhen most of us were young <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:48,300 –> 00:17:51,500
\nbecause I remember growing up as
\na child in the Cold War, many of<\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:51,500 –> 00:17:54,700
\nyou were adults.
\nDuring that period, there was <\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:54,700 –> 00:17:57,500
\nalways the threat of nuclear
\nHolocaust. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:57,500 –> 00:18:01,500
\nRemember, remember the
\ntelevision, show The Day After <\/p>\n
256
\n00:18:01,600 –> 00:18:04,600
\nThat shocking program, that
\nshowed, what would it be? <\/p>\n
257
\n00:18:04,600 –> 00:18:10,200
\nLike if somehow the Russians
\nbombed, the United States, What <\/p>\n
258
\n00:18:10,200 –> 00:18:11,900
\nwould life be like the day
\nafter? <\/p>\n
259
\n00:18:12,400 –> 00:18:15,500
\nAll right, well, those days feel
\nlike they’re here again, don’t <\/p>\n
260
\n00:18:15,500 –> 00:18:19,500
\nthey?
\nAnd that standoff between Russia<\/p>\n
261
\n00:18:19,700 –> 00:18:24,400
\nand the United States.
\nAnd we remember 1962, remember <\/p>\n
262
\n00:18:24,600 –> 00:18:27,600
\nwhat happened then, right and
\nthen the Bay of Pigs that <\/p>\n
263
\n00:18:27,600 –> 00:18:31,200
\nhappened after.
\nAnd then the Vietnam War, all of<\/p>\n
264
\n00:18:31,200 –> 00:18:36,800
\nwhich involved War by proxy, two
\nmajor Nations fighting it out <\/p>\n
265
\n00:18:36,800 –> 00:18:41,600
\nusing proxies that, that, that
\nrepresented them, the Vietnamese<\/p>\n
266
\n00:18:41,600 –> 00:18:46,200
\npeople against the Vietcong, who
\nwere funded and trained by the <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:46,200 –> 00:18:51,400
\nSoviet Union, That was a world,
\nit was very fragile and full of <\/p>\n
268
\n00:18:51,400 –> 00:18:54,400
\nuncertainty.
\nPoutine has brought it back. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:55,000 –> 00:18:59,000
\nHe’s brought it back.
\nNow, for us, it’s actually to <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:59,000 –> 00:19:02,100
\nindicate to us and the whole
\nworld should be turning to God. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:19:03,000 –> 00:19:07,700
\nNow we should be preaching and
\nwe should have campaigns and we <\/p>\n
272
\n00:19:07,700 –> 00:19:09,700
\nshould really make sure that the
\nlearn to read. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:19:09,700 –> 00:19:15,000
\nThe Bible seminar series are on
\nand going online, face-to-face. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:19:15,000 –> 00:19:17,700
\nWhatever the case may be, just
\nto make sure that the message is<\/p>\n
275
\n00:19:17,700 –> 00:19:21,100
\ngetting out there because the
\nworld as a whole is, <\/p>\n
276
\n00:19:21,100 –> 00:19:24,400
\nexperiencing what we have
\nexperienced as individuals, good<\/p>\n
277
\n00:19:24,400 –> 00:19:28,400
\ndays, and bad days.
\nGood times and now potentially <\/p>\n
278
\n00:19:28,600 –> 00:19:31,700
\nbad times, they won’t see an
\nend. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:19:32,500 –> 00:19:36,700
\nThey won’t see hope in this
\nsituation but we know there’s <\/p>\n
280
\n00:19:36,700 –> 00:19:39,300
\nhope and we know what’s going to
\nhappen. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:19:39,500 –> 00:19:43,000
\nYes, we may argue and quibble
\nabout the details of Prophecy, <\/p>\n
282
\n00:19:43,000 –> 00:19:47,700
\nbut ultimately, we all agree on
\nthe one thing Christ is going to<\/p>\n
283
\n00:19:47,700 –> 00:19:51,200
\nreturn to the Earth, by the way.
\nJust in case you’re writing <\/p>\n
284
\n00:19:51,200 –> 00:19:54,100
\nnotes, brother death doesn’t
\nbelieved environment. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:19:54,800 –> 00:19:59,100
\nI’m a traditionalist as far as
\nprophecy is concerned but I am <\/p>\n
286
\n00:19:59,100 –> 00:20:02,700
\nopen to and listen to the non
\ntraditionalist because Always <\/p>\n
287
\n00:20:02,700 –> 00:20:04,100
\nsomething we can learn from each
\nother. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:20:04,700 –> 00:20:08,200
\nAll right, we always have to be
\nflexible to see what’s going to <\/p>\n
289
\n00:20:08,200 –> 00:20:11,100
\nhappen.
\nRemember when we said, Britain <\/p>\n
290
\n00:20:11,100 –> 00:20:14,300
\nwill never join the European
\nUnion? <\/p>\n
291
\n00:20:15,200 –> 00:20:18,700
\nWell, they did, how man will
\nnever land on the Moon? <\/p>\n
292
\n00:20:20,300 –> 00:20:23,300
\nWell, unless the whole thing was
\na fake which some people believe<\/p>\n
293
\n00:20:23,400 –> 00:20:28,400
\nhe did land on the moon now,
\nBritain has come back out of the<\/p>\n
294
\n00:20:28,400 –> 00:20:32,300
\nEuropean Union, right?
\nWhich then sort of seems to <\/p>\n
295
\n00:20:32,308 –> 00:20:36,700
\nindicate that traditionalists
\nmay not have had it wrong. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:20:37,600 –> 00:20:40,900
\nSo be open and see how things
\nare going. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:20:41,100 –> 00:20:44,400
\nBut ultimately Christ returns to
\nthe Earth in a time of trouble. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:20:44,400 –> 00:20:49,200
\nHe said so great trouble, men’s
\nHearts, failing them for fear <\/p>\n
299
\n00:20:49,200 –> 00:20:52,700
\nfor things that they see coming
\nupon the Earth, right? <\/p>\n
300
\n00:20:53,900 –> 00:21:01,100
\nso we go on then and he says, In
\nverse 17 of chapter 8 then I <\/p>\n
301
\n00:21:01,100 –> 00:21:05,400
\nbeheld all the work of God that
\na man cannot find out the work <\/p>\n
302
\n00:21:05,400 –> 00:21:09,900
\nthat is done under the sun.
\nWe cannot identify with <\/p>\n
303
\n00:21:09,900 –> 00:21:15,300
\nprecision and write it out and
\nshow exactly what God is doing <\/p>\n
304
\n00:21:15,300 –> 00:21:18,600
\nand why we can’t.
\nIt’s not his intention for us to<\/p>\n
305
\n00:21:18,600 –> 00:21:23,400
\nbe able to do that because
\nthough a man labor to seek it <\/p>\n
306
\n00:21:23,400 –> 00:21:26,400
\nout yet he shall not find it
\nyet. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:21:26,500 –> 00:21:29,700
\nMoreover.
\nThe wise man, think to know it <\/p>\n
308
\n00:21:30,200 –> 00:21:32,700
\nyet, shall he not be able to
\nfind it? <\/p>\n
309
\n00:21:33,800 –> 00:21:37,300
\nSo, if spiritually wise people
\ncan’t figure out precisely what <\/p>\n
310
\n00:21:37,300 –> 00:21:40,400
\nGod is doing, then that means no
\none can. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:21:40,800 –> 00:21:45,900
\nNow in the overall frame of what
\nGod is doing with history, has <\/p>\n
312
\n00:21:45,900 –> 00:21:50,000
\ngiven us a sense of what is
\nhappening and what is going to <\/p>\n
313
\n00:21:50,000 –> 00:21:54,600
\nhappen, but the details.
\nWell, we struggle, we struggle <\/p>\n
314
\n00:21:55,400 –> 00:21:58,800
\nbut we know Brethren who have
\nfor instance, predicted for the <\/p>\n
315
\n00:21:58,800 –> 00:22:02,200
\nlast 25 years that this is the
\nyear of Christ’s return. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:22:03,900 –> 00:22:08,300
\nWell, it could be it could very
\nwell be but we don’t know <\/p>\n
317
\n00:22:08,300 –> 00:22:10,600
\nexactly.
\nWhen we just know the conditions<\/p>\n
318
\n00:22:11,100 –> 00:22:13,400
\nthat we see the conditions
\ngetting to a point where they <\/p>\n
319
\n00:22:13,400 –> 00:22:16,500
\nlook more and more like, we’re
\nin that day. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:22:17,100 –> 00:22:19,600
\nWhat day with our?
\nWe don’t know. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:22:20,700 –> 00:22:25,200
\nVerse one of the next chapter
\nfor all this, I considered in my<\/p>\n
322
\n00:22:25,200 –> 00:22:30,800
\nheart even to declare all this,
\nthat the righteous and the wise <\/p>\n
323
\n00:22:31,400 –> 00:22:35,600
\nand their works are in the hand
\nof God. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:22:37,000 –> 00:22:40,200
\nLook at the hope and the joy in
\nthat. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:22:41,700 –> 00:22:44,400
\nI can’t figure out what God is
\ndoing, but you know what? <\/p>\n
326
\n00:22:45,100 –> 00:22:49,200
\nGod’s looking after me,
\nnevertheless that I could know <\/p>\n
327
\n00:22:49,200 –> 00:22:52,100
\nwith everything in my being, I
\ncan trust that. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:22:52,100 –> 00:22:54,900
\nThat is the case.
\nThat’s what this is saying. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:22:56,200 –> 00:23:01,100
\nI haven’t been able to figure
\nout what God is doing cool <\/p>\n
330
\n00:23:01,100 –> 00:23:04,800
\nHealth says But boy.
\nOh boy. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:23:04,800 –> 00:23:07,800
\nDo I know that God has his
\nchildren in his hand. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:23:09,700 –> 00:23:11,800
\nThat’s what’s most important for
\nus to hold onto. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:23:12,600 –> 00:23:17,600
\nIs that a dire – message?
\nIt’s an altogether hopeful, <\/p>\n
334
\n00:23:17,600 –> 00:23:21,100
\nuplifting message that we should
\nrejoice in. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:23:21,500 –> 00:23:23,600
\nDon’t think about Deuteronomy 33
\nverse 3. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:23:24,100 –> 00:23:31,000
\nYay, he loves the people’s.
\nAll his Saints are in thy hand <\/p>\n
337
\n00:23:31,500 –> 00:23:33,400
\nand they sat down on that.
\nI feet. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:23:33,700 –> 00:23:36,100
\nEveryone shall receive of thy
\nwords. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:23:36,900 –> 00:23:40,200
\nIs this Moses?
\nThe last words he will say to <\/p>\n
340
\n00:23:40,200 –> 00:23:46,300
\nthe nation.
\nHe tells them God’s separate, <\/p>\n
341
\n00:23:46,300 –> 00:23:50,500
\nholy ones are in his hands and
\nthey’re not wholly because of <\/p>\n
342
\n00:23:50,500 –> 00:23:54,900
\nthe fact that their sin less,
\nbut because he’s chosen to see <\/p>\n
343
\n00:23:54,900 –> 00:23:59,800
\nthem as separate and holy
\nthrough his son and their <\/p>\n
344
\n00:23:59,800 –> 00:24:06,000
\nrelationship to his son that’s
\nus, we’re in God’s hands, it <\/p>\n
345
\n00:24:06,000 –> 00:24:10,100
\ndoesn’t matter what trouble,
\nwhat pain, what challenge you go<\/p>\n
346
\n00:24:10,100 –> 00:24:14,800
\nthrough in your life.
\nYou’re God’s child and you’re in<\/p>\n
347
\n00:24:14,900 –> 00:24:19,100
\nhis hands, John 10:27 starting
\nin that verse. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:24:19,400 –> 00:24:24,600
\nThe Lord says my sheep hear my
\nvoice and I know them and they <\/p>\n
349
\n00:24:24,600 –> 00:24:32,800
\nfollow me and I give unto them
\neternal life and they shall <\/p>\n
350
\n00:24:32,800 –> 00:24:39,600
\nnever perish.
\nAnd no one shall snatch them out<\/p>\n
351
\n00:24:39,600 –> 00:24:43,600
\nof my hand.
\nThat’s what the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
352
\n00:24:43,600 –> 00:24:48,100
\nChrist says about his
\nrelationship to you. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:24:49,900 –> 00:24:56,100
\nSo in this dash world, the dash
\nworld we live in you’re way <\/p>\n
354
\n00:24:56,100 –> 00:24:59,600
\nbeyond that.
\nYou will have life. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:25:00,700 –> 00:25:03,300
\nForever.
\nForever. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:25:04,600 –> 00:25:09,100
\nNow yes it is subject to the
\nmercy and the will of our <\/p>\n
357
\n00:25:09,100 –> 00:25:11,300
\nfather.
\nWe’re not people who say I’m <\/p>\n
358
\n00:25:11,300 –> 00:25:15,400
\nsaved, meaning I’m for sure.
\nGoing to be in. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:25:15,700 –> 00:25:19,700
\nWell they believe heaven.
\nWe don’t say I’m for sure going <\/p>\n
360
\n00:25:19,700 –> 00:25:23,000
\nto be in God’s kingdom but we
\nsay, we hope that in God’s <\/p>\n
361
\n00:25:23,000 –> 00:25:25,200
\nmercy.
\nHe will look at our little <\/p>\n
362
\n00:25:25,200 –> 00:25:29,400
\nlives, forgive us and give us
\nlife in his kingdom because <\/p>\n
363
\n00:25:29,400 –> 00:25:34,100
\nthat’s what he wants for us.
\nThat is what he wants for us, as<\/p>\n
364
\n00:25:34,100 –> 00:25:38,800
\ntook a quick look at Romans 8.
\nVerse has 35 to 39, you know, <\/p>\n
365
\n00:25:38,800 –> 00:25:42,100
\nthis, you know, the section
\nreally well but just to be <\/p>\n
366
\n00:25:42,100 –> 00:25:51,800
\ncomforted by it.
\nRomans 8. and beginning at <\/p>\n
367
\n00:25:51,800 –> 00:25:59,900
\nverse, 35.
\nLet me just find this page. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:25:59,900 –> 00:26:02,400
\nHere we go.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:26:04,000 –> 00:26:06,100
\nI there yet.
\nYes. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:26:06,400 –> 00:26:09,500
\nVerse 35.
\nWho. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:26:11,100 –> 00:26:13,900
\nThis is Dev Ramjet version.
\nOkay, I know you’re a modern <\/p>\n
372
\n00:26:13,900 –> 00:26:16,300
\nversion group.
\nSo let’s see how this goes. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:26:17,500 –> 00:26:20,400
\nWho is ever going to separate us
\nfrom? <\/p>\n
374
\n00:26:21,700 –> 00:26:28,000
\nChrist’s love.
\nHis trouble and distress, and <\/p>\n
375
\n00:26:28,100 –> 00:26:35,300
\npersecution is being hungry, or
\nhaving nothing to wear is Peril <\/p>\n
376
\n00:26:35,600 –> 00:26:40,400
\nor violence, going to separate
\nus from the Lord, not a single. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:26:40,400 –> 00:26:43,900
\nOne of these things is going to
\nseparate us from the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
378
\n00:26:43,900 –> 00:26:50,400
\nChrist, as it’s written for your
\nsake, we are killed all the day <\/p>\n
379
\n00:26:50,400 –> 00:26:54,200
\nlong.
\nAnd we’re looked at as sheep <\/p>\n
380
\n00:26:54,200 –> 00:26:58,200
\nready to be slaughtered.
\nIn all these things and all <\/p>\n
381
\n00:26:58,200 –> 00:27:02,100
\nthese troubles and all this,
\nanguish in all this distress, <\/p>\n
382
\n00:27:02,300 –> 00:27:04,700
\nwe’re not people.
\nThat people have victory over. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:27:05,300 –> 00:27:10,100
\nWe are more than conquerors
\nthrough him. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:27:11,300 –> 00:27:13,800
\nWho loved us so much that he
\ngave his life for us. <\/p>\n
385
\n00:27:14,700 –> 00:27:23,400
\nI am sure in my mind that death
\nlife, Angels principalities <\/p>\n
386
\n00:27:23,800 –> 00:27:28,100
\npolitical powers Nothing.
\nThat is on high. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:27:28,400 –> 00:27:32,900
\nNothing is down below.
\nNo creature will ever be able to<\/p>\n
388
\n00:27:32,900 –> 00:27:35,200
\nseparate us from the love of
\nGod? <\/p>\n
389
\n00:27:37,000 –> 00:27:39,900
\nWhich is the same love that our
\nLord Jesus Christ has for us. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:27:42,900 –> 00:27:45,400
\nThose are some pretty powerful
\nwords, you just read. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:27:46,900 –> 00:27:48,600
\nAnd they’re intended to comfort
\nyou. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:27:49,600 –> 00:27:52,400
\nAnd so, they go right back to
\nwhat Ecclesiastes is saying. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:27:55,100 –> 00:28:00,000
\nThe righteous and the wise and
\ntheir works. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:28:01,400 –> 00:28:06,400
\nAre in the hand of God. he goes
\non and he says in that verse and<\/p>\n
395
\n00:28:06,400 –> 00:28:11,800
\nchapter 9 of Ecclesiastes,
\nWhether it be love or hatred man<\/p>\n
396
\n00:28:11,800 –> 00:28:16,700
\nknows it not all is before them.
\nand let me tell you the <\/p>\n
397
\n00:28:16,700 –> 00:28:20,700
\ncommentators struggled mightily
\naround those words, and no one <\/p>\n
398
\n00:28:20,700 –> 00:28:24,100
\nknows exactly what it means, but
\nin the context, it could mean a <\/p>\n
399
\n00:28:24,100 –> 00:28:31,000
\ncouple of things, it could mean
\nthis, We have no clue. if the <\/p>\n
400
\n00:28:31,000 –> 00:28:35,600
\nworld around us living as we do
\nas Believers is going to love us<\/p>\n
401
\n00:28:35,600 –> 00:28:39,300
\nor hate us and if we’re going to
\nhave an easy or hard time of it,<\/p>\n
402
\n00:28:40,600 –> 00:28:43,200
\nYou don’t have any clue, but
\nthat does not change. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:28:43,200 –> 00:28:44,700
\nThe fact that we’re in God’s
\nhands. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:28:45,900 –> 00:28:50,600
\nAnother interpretation is this
\nwe have no clue of our life with<\/p>\n
405
\n00:28:50,600 –> 00:28:54,900
\nall of its experience will make
\nus look some days like God Hates<\/p>\n
406
\n00:28:54,900 –> 00:28:58,000
\nUs and other days, like God
\nloves us because of what we’re <\/p>\n
407
\n00:28:58,000 –> 00:29:03,500
\ngoing through, we don’t know.
\nBut we are certain that were in <\/p>\n
408
\n00:29:03,500 –> 00:29:07,900
\nhis hands and that in fact he
\ndoes love us. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:29:09,000 –> 00:29:11,300
\nSo there are multiple ways of
\nlooking at what that is saying, <\/p>\n
410
\n00:29:11,300 –> 00:29:15,400
\nbut it can’t be in conflict with
\nthe fact that we’re in his hands<\/p>\n
411
\n00:29:16,000 –> 00:29:21,100
\nand that he loves us a message
\nof Ecclesiastes is not dire <\/p>\n
412
\n00:29:21,100 –> 00:29:25,800
\nforeboding darkness and The
\nDescent of a black cloud upon <\/p>\n
413
\n00:29:25,800 –> 00:29:28,300
\nyou.
\nIt is to say your life is short,<\/p>\n
414
\n00:29:29,100 –> 00:29:33,800
\nmake it a worthwhile life.
\nEnjoy what God gives you along <\/p>\n
415
\n00:29:33,800 –> 00:29:36,900
\nthe way, hold on through the
\ntough times. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:29:37,900 –> 00:29:41,200
\nThank him for everything that he
\nhas and has given to you. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:29:42,300 –> 00:29:45,300
\nAnd look forward to the hope of
\nhis kingdom. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:29:45,800 –> 00:29:49,800
\nThat’s the real message.
\nThat’s the real message and <\/p>\n
419
\n00:29:49,800 –> 00:29:53,300
\nColette was crying out to men
\nwho were all about, what they <\/p>\n
420
\n00:29:53,300 –> 00:29:58,300
\ncould spend the Chariots.
\nThey could drive in the horses. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:29:58,300 –> 00:30:02,800
\nThey can own the Weaponry, the
\nsoldiers of the private armies <\/p>\n
422
\n00:30:02,800 –> 00:30:05,700
\nthat can afford, they were all
\nabout that stuff. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:30:05,700 –> 00:30:10,000
\nAnd he said all that is empty
\nfoolishness if that’s all you <\/p>\n
424
\n00:30:10,000 –> 00:30:13,300
\nhave.
\nBecause one day you are going to<\/p>\n
425
\n00:30:13,300 –> 00:30:19,000
\ndrop dead as the British Shake
\nsay, as surely as eggs is eggs. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:30:20,600 –> 00:30:24,200
\nBecause eggs can’t be anything
\nelse but eggs, that’s the point.<\/p>\n
427
\n00:30:25,400 –> 00:30:30,200
\nAnd so we go on and we read
\ngoing down further. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:30:31,300 –> 00:30:37,900
\nIn verse 9 and this is for you
\nhusband’s to reflect on live <\/p>\n
429
\n00:30:38,700 –> 00:30:45,100
\njoyfully with the wife whom thou
\nlovest all the days of the life <\/p>\n
430
\n00:30:45,100 –> 00:30:49,100
\nof thy vanity which he has given
\nyou under the sun, all the days <\/p>\n
431
\n00:30:49,100 –> 00:30:55,300
\nof your vanity for that’s your
\nportion in this life and in your<\/p>\n
432
\n00:30:55,300 –> 00:30:59,700
\nlabor.
\nWhich you take under the sun? <\/p>\n
433
\n00:31:01,600 –> 00:31:06,500
\nSo love your wife.
\nDon’t be crabby and irritable. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:31:06,500 –> 00:31:08,500
\nI don’t have time.
\nI told you then to get the <\/p>\n
435
\n00:31:08,500 –> 00:31:11,700
\ntickets sir.
\nHow how we going to get to the <\/p>\n
436
\n00:31:11,700 –> 00:31:13,100
\nBible school?
\nNo tickets. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:31:14,100 –> 00:31:15,100
\nYou gotta go.
\nListen to the breath. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:31:15,100 –> 00:31:17,400
\nTalk about love.
\nI’m so tired of you messing <\/p>\n
439
\n00:31:17,400 –> 00:31:22,900
\neverything up all the time.
\nNot that you would do a thing <\/p>\n
440
\n00:31:22,900 –> 00:31:28,000
\nlike that brother.
\nBut the point is, he’s not <\/p>\n
441
\n00:31:28,000 –> 00:31:32,600
\nsaying live critically and crab
\nAli with the wife who you love, <\/p>\n
442
\n00:31:32,600 –> 00:31:36,600
\njust not live joyfully with her
\nbecause tomorrow she may not be <\/p>\n
443
\n00:31:36,600 –> 00:31:43,200
\nthere.
\nThe joyfully with her all the <\/p>\n
444
\n00:31:43,200 –> 00:31:45,800
\ndays of your life.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:31:46,900 –> 00:31:53,200
\nAnd christadelphians marriages.
\nGets stronger and stronger and <\/p>\n
446
\n00:31:53,200 –> 00:31:59,600
\ndeeper and richer.
\nAs the years go by, I had <\/p>\n
447
\n00:31:59,600 –> 00:32:03,800
\nfriends of my 40s when they were
\nin their 40s who left their <\/p>\n
448
\n00:32:03,800 –> 00:32:10,800
\nwives one day, ran off with
\nsomebody that was 26 years old. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:32:12,600 –> 00:32:14,600
\nI remember sitting down with one
\nsaying, Rick. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:32:16,600 –> 00:32:19,500
\nYou realize she’s going to be
\ndoing your diapers and just a <\/p>\n
451
\n00:32:19,508 –> 00:32:25,600
\nfew years.
\nHe thought that was hilarious. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:32:26,700 –> 00:32:30,000
\nThen she left in two years.
\nSo, this is what he was left <\/p>\n
453
\n00:32:30,000 –> 00:32:33,900
\nwith.
\nAlmost 50 years of age. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:32:34,800 –> 00:32:39,600
\nNo wife, two sets of alimony.
\nHe had to be paying out. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:32:40,800 –> 00:32:43,100
\nKids had wanted nothing to do
\nwith him whatsoever. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:32:45,100 –> 00:32:46,700
\nAnd so I asked the question,
\nRick. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:32:48,800 –> 00:32:51,500
\nWould you leave your wife again
\nif you knew this was going to <\/p>\n
458
\n00:32:51,500 –> 00:32:53,700
\nhappen?
\nHe said, no. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:32:55,000 –> 00:33:01,300
\nI wish I’d stayed with her.
\nBecause it wasn’t easier, except<\/p>\n
460
\n00:33:01,300 –> 00:33:05,300
\nfor a short time.
\nAnd then whoever I was with <\/p>\n
461
\n00:33:05,300 –> 00:33:11,200
\nrealized, I will probably leave
\nher too because I already left <\/p>\n
462
\n00:33:11,200 –> 00:33:15,100
\nmy wife for her.
\nAnd she made a decision. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:33:16,600 –> 00:33:23,400
\nYou left, right?
\nSo for us, we all go through a <\/p>\n
464
\n00:33:23,400 –> 00:33:25,500
\nstruggle.
\nNow they call it midlife crisis <\/p>\n
465
\n00:33:25,500 –> 00:33:29,300
\nlaughingly but it’s a serious
\nbusiness because this is what it<\/p>\n
466
\n00:33:29,300 –> 00:33:32,500
\nis in actual fact.
\nIt’s not that you finally want <\/p>\n
467
\n00:33:32,500 –> 00:33:36,000
\nto do by that red sports car or
\nred. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:33:36,000 –> 00:33:37,400
\nFred what was it?
\nA red truck. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:33:38,700 –> 00:33:43,400
\nYes, it’s not that we wanted to
\nbuy that. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:33:43,400 –> 00:33:47,300
\nAnd, you know, it’s that we
\nsuddenly got to a point where we<\/p>\n
471
\n00:33:47,300 –> 00:33:54,100
\nrealized, hey, I’m dying.
\nWorking and working and working,<\/p>\n
472
\n00:33:54,100 –> 00:33:56,500
\nand working and stuff.
\nI wanted to do that. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:33:56,500 –> 00:33:59,500
\nI wanted to experience that what
\nI wanted to have. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:34:00,100 –> 00:34:02,000
\nI never got the chance to do
\nthose things. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:34:02,400 –> 00:34:05,700
\nSo I’m going to go out there and
\nbuy that read whatever. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:34:07,400 –> 00:34:10,699
\nI’m going to and, of course,
\npeople think you’ve lost your <\/p>\n
477
\n00:34:10,699 –> 00:34:13,500
\nmind.
\nIt’s death that makes us do that<\/p>\n
478
\n00:34:13,500 –> 00:34:16,800
\ndeath.
\nThe recognition of death on the <\/p>\n
479
\n00:34:16,800 –> 00:34:19,800
\nhorizon.
\nThat’s what drives us to do. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:34:19,800 –> 00:34:23,300
\nThose silly things and in the
\nworld you just fishtail your way<\/p>\n
481
\n00:34:23,300 –> 00:34:26,300
\nthrough it.
\nDangerously knocking traffic out<\/p>\n
482
\n00:34:26,300 –> 00:34:30,000
\nof the way and creating all
\nkinds of accidents. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:34:31,100 –> 00:34:35,699
\nNow we do it too but the truth
\nacts as a constraint on us. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:34:37,199 –> 00:34:41,600
\nAnd it gives our wives many
\nopportunities to forgive us for <\/p>\n
485
\n00:34:41,600 –> 00:34:43,699
\nthe mistakes that we make in
\nthat period. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:34:44,900 –> 00:34:48,500
\nBut with this man who wrote Such
\ndark things seemingly in the <\/p>\n
487
\n00:34:48,507 –> 00:34:52,900
\nbook is telling us is make sure
\nthere’s joy in your marriage. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:34:53,900 –> 00:34:57,000
\nIt’s something you built into it
\nand work at it and work at it <\/p>\n
489
\n00:34:57,000 –> 00:35:00,000
\nand work at.
\nAnd sometimes it’s a decision, <\/p>\n
490
\n00:35:00,000 –> 00:35:03,100
\nyou make not a thing that just
\nnaturally falls out of the sky <\/p>\n
491
\n00:35:03,200 –> 00:35:05,900
\non you.
\nAnd when you ask some of these <\/p>\n
492
\n00:35:05,900 –> 00:35:09,600
\npeople who leave each other,
\nwhat was it that made you do it?<\/p>\n
493
\n00:35:09,900 –> 00:35:12,800
\nI wasn’t happy and I felt I
\ndeserve to be happy. <\/p>\n
494
\n00:35:13,700 –> 00:35:17,700
\nAnd so I thought if I left and
\nfound someone else or went with <\/p>\n
495
\n00:35:17,700 –> 00:35:20,700
\nthe someone else had already
\nfound, I’d be happy. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:35:22,400 –> 00:35:26,300
\nAnd of course, the first mistake
\nthey made was that you always <\/p>\n
497
\n00:35:26,300 –> 00:35:30,400
\nhave to be happy.
\nThat’s what this world teaches <\/p>\n
498
\n00:35:30,400 –> 00:35:32,600
\nus today.
\nGot to be happy, you have to be <\/p>\n
499
\n00:35:32,600 –> 00:35:34,500
\nbuying things, you have to be
\nbeing things have to be <\/p>\n
500
\n00:35:34,500 –> 00:35:39,300
\nexperiencing things that keep
\nyou happy but happy happy happy <\/p>\n
501
\n00:35:39,300 –> 00:35:45,700
\nis not real life.
\nRemember God interleaves unhappy<\/p>\n
502
\n00:35:45,700 –> 00:35:51,200
\ntimes with happy times.
\nAnd so we make these disastrous <\/p>\n
503
\n00:35:51,200 –> 00:35:54,000
\ndecisions.
\nBut scripture itself says, this <\/p>\n
504
\n00:35:54,000 –> 00:35:58,100
\nis the way to happiness.
\nLive joyfully. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:35:59,300 –> 00:36:02,500
\nWith the wife.
\nThat you have. <\/p>\n
506
\n00:36:04,100 –> 00:36:07,600
\nAll the days that you’re with
\nher because that’s the greatest <\/p>\n
507
\n00:36:07,600 –> 00:36:12,200
\ngift, God has given you.
\nThat’s the portion. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:36:12,200 –> 00:36:14,400
\nRemember Israel got their
\nportion of land. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:36:15,500 –> 00:36:20,000
\nRemember, Levi and the priests
\ntheir portion was the service to<\/p>\n
510
\n00:36:20,000 –> 00:36:22,400
\nYahweh.
\nThe god of Israel and all that <\/p>\n
511
\n00:36:22,400 –> 00:36:26,100
\nentailed.
\nWell, your portion brother is <\/p>\n
512
\n00:36:26,100 –> 00:36:29,800
\nthat woman at your side That
\nmoment I don’t know what I’d do <\/p>\n
513
\n00:36:29,800 –> 00:36:33,000
\nwithout mine.
\nWe’ve been together since I was <\/p>\n
514
\n00:36:33,000 –> 00:36:39,200
\n19, and I’m 60 now.
\nAnd there’s that worry which of <\/p>\n
515
\n00:36:39,200 –> 00:36:43,000
\nus will go first that you never
\nhave when you’re in your 20s and<\/p>\n
516
\n00:36:43,000 –> 00:36:45,500
\n30s.
\nBut you begin to have these <\/p>\n
517
\n00:36:45,500 –> 00:36:49,600
\nsorts of thoughts which makes
\nyou that much more precious to <\/p>\n
518
\n00:36:49,600 –> 00:36:54,800
\neach other.
\nSo we go on he says verse 10 <\/p>\n
519
\n00:36:55,100 –> 00:37:00,300
\nwhatsoever your hand finds to
\ndo. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:37:01,100 –> 00:37:04,000
\nDo it with all your might
\nbecause you’re not going to live<\/p>\n
521
\n00:37:04,000 –> 00:37:08,400
\nforever in this world, right?
\nSo whatever you do whatever <\/p>\n
522
\n00:37:08,400 –> 00:37:13,500
\nyou’re working at do it.
\nWell as well as you can. now, if<\/p>\n
523
\n00:37:13,500 –> 00:37:16,700
\nwe were to translate that into a
\nmessage for older Brethren and <\/p>\n
524
\n00:37:16,700 –> 00:37:22,000
\nsisters, but primarily the
\nbrethren don’t retire from the <\/p>\n
525
\n00:37:22,000 –> 00:37:26,200
\ntruth.
\nYour work in the Ecclesia may <\/p>\n
526
\n00:37:26,200 –> 00:37:31,000
\nchange.
\nBut keep active, keep helpful, <\/p>\n
527
\n00:37:31,900 –> 00:37:36,900
\nkeep being a positive supporter
\nof the younger brothers and <\/p>\n
528
\n00:37:36,900 –> 00:37:42,200
\nsisters and the Ecclesia.
\nDo some Bible study, if you’re <\/p>\n
529
\n00:37:42,200 –> 00:37:45,400
\nworried about, you know, the
\nfailure of your mind and it’s <\/p>\n
530
\n00:37:45,400 –> 00:37:48,200
\ndeterioration.
\nThere’s nothing like some Bible <\/p>\n
531
\n00:37:48,200 –> 00:37:52,600
\nstudy to keep it going, keeping
\nthe brain functioning really <\/p>\n
532
\n00:37:52,600 –> 00:37:57,300
\nwell, it doesn’t have to be
\nsomething heavy duty, but keep <\/p>\n
533
\n00:37:57,300 –> 00:38:00,600
\nstudying.
\nKeep doing some Bible study some<\/p>\n
534
\n00:38:00,600 –> 00:38:05,000
\nBible reading.
\nBecause there’s, there’s no <\/p>\n
535
\n00:38:05,000 –> 00:38:07,800
\nknowledge.
\nNo wisdom in the grave, where <\/p>\n
536
\n00:38:07,800 –> 00:38:09,400
\nyou’re going.
\nWhere you’re going. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:38:10,200 –> 00:38:14,400
\nAll right.
\nNow, verse 11, I returned and <\/p>\n
538
\n00:38:14,400 –> 00:38:17,800
\nsaw Under the Sun that the race
\nis not to the Swift, nor the <\/p>\n
539
\n00:38:17,800 –> 00:38:21,800
\nbattle to the strong, your
\nbread, to the wise riches, to <\/p>\n
540
\n00:38:21,800 –> 00:38:24,900
\nMen of understanding favor to
\nMen of skill. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:38:25,500 –> 00:38:27,800
\nSo what are you saying?
\nIs I looked out at life and, you<\/p>\n
542
\n00:38:27,808 –> 00:38:31,600
\nknow, it was kind of unfair.
\nThe things you would expect, <\/p>\n
543
\n00:38:32,000 –> 00:38:33,500
\nthey just didn’t work out that
\nway. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:38:34,700 –> 00:38:36,900
\nGood people didn’t have good
\nthings happen to them. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:38:37,400 –> 00:38:39,700
\nBad people didn’t have bad,
\nthings happen to them. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:38:40,400 –> 00:38:45,200
\nUnfair things seem to happen in
\nthe world that we live in then <\/p>\n
547
\n00:38:45,200 –> 00:38:53,800
\nhe says, But time and chance.
\nHappens to them all. now <\/p>\n
548
\n00:38:53,800 –> 00:38:58,800
\nremember the context We are in
\nGod’s hands. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:38:58,800 –> 00:39:03,200
\nThat means he knows every hour.
\nEvery minute, every second of <\/p>\n
550
\n00:39:03,200 –> 00:39:06,300
\nwhere we’ve been, where we are
\nand where we’re headed more than<\/p>\n
551
\n00:39:06,300 –> 00:39:11,400
\nwe will ever know, So we’re in
\nhis hands, but in the context <\/p>\n
552
\n00:39:11,400 –> 00:39:13,500
\nhere, he’s saying the things you
\nthink would happen. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:39:13,500 –> 00:39:18,100
\nDon’t When ought to be, the
\ncase, isn’t in the world, in <\/p>\n
554
\n00:39:18,107 –> 00:39:21,900
\nwhich we live.
\nAnd so, when he says, time and <\/p>\n
555
\n00:39:21,900 –> 00:39:25,500
\nchance happens to them all, he’s
\nsaying as an extension of that <\/p>\n
556
\n00:39:25,500 –> 00:39:30,300
\nthought in its context, Though,
\nGod knows what’s going to happen<\/p>\n
557
\n00:39:30,300 –> 00:39:34,900
\nto you and nothing happens by
\nchance, from his view of you in <\/p>\n
558
\n00:39:34,900 –> 00:39:37,500
\nyour mind.
\nAnd in your experience, it does <\/p>\n
559
\n00:39:37,500 –> 00:39:42,200
\nhappen that way.
\nBy chance you get cancer, did <\/p>\n
560
\n00:39:42,200 –> 00:39:43,800
\nyou expect it?
\nDid you see it coming? <\/p>\n
561
\n00:39:44,700 –> 00:39:49,600
\nNot necessarily.
\nIt was by chance to you time the<\/p>\n
562
\n00:39:49,600 –> 00:39:54,700
\nexperience of it and things that
\nlook random to you though. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:39:54,700 –> 00:39:59,300
\nFrom God’s perspective, they are
\nnot So in the context of the <\/p>\n
564
\n00:39:59,300 –> 00:40:04,600
\npassage where expected things
\ndon’t happen and unexpected <\/p>\n
565
\n00:40:04,600 –> 00:40:09,400
\nthings, do this sense is it
\nflows through seems to be in our<\/p>\n
566
\n00:40:09,400 –> 00:40:13,100
\nexperience.
\nLife is like that life is like <\/p>\n
567
\n00:40:13,100 –> 00:40:17,800
\nthat the will end will end with
\nverse 17. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:40:18,400 –> 00:40:24,600
\nThe words of wise men are heard
\nin quiet brother will come and <\/p>\n
569
\n00:40:24,600 –> 00:40:28,600
\nsit beside you and say, you
\nknow, Dev when you said such and<\/p>\n
570
\n00:40:28,600 –> 00:40:33,600
\nsuch you realize what that was
\ninterpreted to be. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:40:35,100 –> 00:40:37,000
\nI remember what Donald Trump was
\nin power. <\/p>\n
572
\n00:40:37,000 –> 00:40:39,400
\nI had a lot of things to say
\nabout Donald Trump. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:40:41,200 –> 00:40:43,900
\nWhich I regret.
\nNow, I really do and a very wise<\/p>\n
574
\n00:40:43,900 –> 00:40:46,600
\nkind to brother.
\nAt Idlewild took me aside and <\/p>\n
575
\n00:40:46,600 –> 00:40:51,400
\nsaid Dave, We have some brothers
\nand sisters here, who struggle <\/p>\n
576
\n00:40:51,400 –> 00:40:55,600
\nabout whether they should Vote
\nor not and it was such a shock <\/p>\n
577
\n00:40:55,600 –> 00:40:57,300
\nto my system.
\nI thought, oh no. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:40:58,500 –> 00:41:00,300
\nDidn’t realize what I was doing
\nnow. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:41:00,300 –> 00:41:02,700
\nEven if he hadn’t told me that I
\nshould not have been saying that<\/p>\n
580
\n00:41:02,700 –> 00:41:09,600
\nbecause even if with a Nero our
\njob is to hunker down and be <\/p>\n
581
\n00:41:09,600 –> 00:41:13,500
\nobedient and to pray for the
\npeople that lead our country’s <\/p>\n
582
\n00:41:14,000 –> 00:41:19,200
\nno matter what their perceived
\nquality might be But that sure <\/p>\n
583
\n00:41:19,500 –> 00:41:23,700
\nwas like a nail in the heart.
\nRight now. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:41:23,700 –> 00:41:29,700
\nThat was a wise word, spoken
\nquietly. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:41:30,300 –> 00:41:35,200
\nSo there’s an example of how
\nwise brothers and sisters help <\/p>\n
586
\n00:41:35,200 –> 00:41:38,800
\nus will end this session there
\nand I’ll only give you like <\/p>\n
587
\n00:41:38,800 –> 00:41:40,000
\nseven minutes extra.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
