2
\n00:00:07,700 –> 00:00:10,300
\nrather than by way of
\nintroduction through a reading. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:10,900 –> 00:00:15,500
\nSo our subtitle for today, for
\nstudy for the meaning of <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:15,500 –> 00:00:19,300
\nsuffering and our topic is the
\nprecious sons of Zion brother, <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:19,300 –> 00:00:30,400
\nNate.
\nWell, thanks, brother Brendan <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:30,400 –> 00:00:33,600
\nand good morning again, brothers
\nand sisters and our Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:37,800
\nChrist.
\nWe now come to the last class, <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:37,800 –> 00:00:40,000
\nreally proper on the book of
\nLamentations that we’re going to<\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:40,008 –> 00:00:43,600
\nspend together this week because
\ntomorrow we’re going to really <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:43,600 –> 00:00:46,700
\nlook at the subject of
\nfellowshiping our Lord. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:46,700 –> 00:00:50,200
\nJesus Christ’s sufferings.
\nSo this morning we want to <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:50,208 –> 00:00:56,400
\nconsider Lamentations chapters 4
\nand 5 but you will remember from<\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:56,800 –> 00:01:03,300
\nOur last class that we looked at
\nthe Survivor of chapter 3, the <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:03,300 –> 00:01:09,700
\nman that had seen Affliction and
\nwe saw that despite experiencing<\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:09,700 –> 00:01:14,100
\nall of the pain and suffering
\nthat the nation had experienced <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:14,100 –> 00:01:18,400
\nin Lamentations 1 and 2.
\nHe was able to see past the <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:18,400 –> 00:01:23,500
\ndestruction, past the horror,
\nand the grief, and the loss. <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:23,900 –> 00:01:30,200
\nTo what is described in chapter
\nthree, Verse 26, the salvation <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:30,200 –> 00:01:34,200
\nof yah-yah-yah is salvation
\nyahushua. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:34,500 –> 00:01:41,800
\nAnd we saw that this man had
\nperspective, hope Trust yahweh’s<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:41,800 –> 00:01:43,900
\ncompassion’s and new every
\nmorning. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:44,100 –> 00:01:49,400
\nHe told us that if amidst the
\ndarkness of Affliction, we lose <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:49,400 –> 00:01:52,700
\nhope.
\nIt is because we have forgotten <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:52,700 –> 00:01:58,400
\nthe character of God himself.
\nHe told us that our tribulations<\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:58,500 –> 00:02:02,700
\nare the pressure that God brings
\nto conform us to the image of <\/p>\n
26
\n00:02:02,700 –> 00:02:07,800
\nhis son and that amazingly we
\ncan be grateful for his hand. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:02:08,100 –> 00:02:12,800
\nWe can be satisfied with the
\ntravail of our soul. <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:13,300 –> 00:02:17,400
\nThat remarkably the trials of
\nthis life, are his Mercies in <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:17,400 –> 00:02:20,000
\nDisguise that.
\nOur sufferings might be our <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:20,000 –> 00:02:25,600
\nbiggest blessings.
\nAnd this man’s example, in verse<\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:25,600 –> 00:02:32,100
\n30 of chapter 3 was to willingly
\nsubmit to whatever his father <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:32,100 –> 00:02:36,100
\nthought was the best way to
\ndevelop his love, whatever his <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:36,100 –> 00:02:41,100
\nfather thought was the best way
\nto develop his trust, whatever <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:41,100 –> 00:02:45,500
\nhis father thought was the best
\nway to develop his faith. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:47,000 –> 00:02:51,900
\nAnd if chapter 2 and verse 13
\nposed, the question, our bruise <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:51,900 –> 00:02:54,900
\nis great like the see who can
\nheal us. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:55,100 –> 00:03:00,200
\nThen this suffering man, stepped
\nforward to provide the answer <\/p>\n
38
\n00:03:01,100 –> 00:03:05,300
\nthe suffering servant of Isaiah
\n53 of whom it is said with his <\/p>\n
39
\n00:03:05,300 –> 00:03:09,800
\nbruised, we are healed and you
\nmight remember that. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:03:09,800 –> 00:03:13,500
\nWe spent some time looking at
\nthe progression of thought in <\/p>\n
41
\n00:03:13,700 –> 00:03:17,400
\nchapter 3, but just to
\nsummarize, Guys, what we looked <\/p>\n
42
\n00:03:17,400 –> 00:03:21,000
\nat yesterday?
\nThis is really the thought flow <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:21,000 –> 00:03:26,800
\nof chapter 3.
\nThe man of Affliction, he never <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:26,800 –> 00:03:31,900
\nblames God, but he’s highly
\naware of his miserable State <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:31,900 –> 00:03:38,200
\nversus 1217.
\nThen in verses 18 to 21, <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:38,200 –> 00:03:44,900
\nchoosing wisdom, he remembers
\nthe experiences of the past, he <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:44,900 –> 00:03:52,200
\nreminds himself in verses 22 to
\n23 of God’s glorious, merciful <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:52,200 –> 00:03:55,700
\ncharacter.
\nIn verses 24 to 32. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:55,900 –> 00:04:00,800
\nHe concludes that suffering.
\nHas purpose and ultimately good <\/p>\n
50
\n00:04:00,800 –> 00:04:05,500
\nobjectives which means verse 33
\nto 36. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:04:05,500 –> 00:04:09,300
\nGod will never afflict without
\nexcellent reason. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:04:10,800 –> 00:04:15,800
\nAnd if we question or complain
\nabout our sufferings, we are <\/p>\n
53
\n00:04:15,800 –> 00:04:18,700
\ndoubting God’s character and his
\npromises. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:04:19,000 –> 00:04:25,300
\nIt was a slow but inevitable
\nchange towards a new way of <\/p>\n
55
\n00:04:25,300 –> 00:04:28,600
\nthinking, an amazing perspective
\nto see. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:04:28,600 –> 00:04:33,400
\nSo clearly God’s objectives and
\ngoodness amidst the chaos and <\/p>\n
57
\n00:04:33,400 –> 00:04:35,400
\nmisery.
\nThis is God’s perspective, it is<\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:35,400 –> 00:04:39,700
\nhis Divine work, we can’t
\nunderstand it, sometimes we <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:39,700 –> 00:04:41,900
\ncan’t even see it.
\nHappening in our lives. <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:42,200 –> 00:04:46,700
\nBut in the trials of life, When
\nwe look back. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:47,800 –> 00:04:53,100
\nWe are becoming more patient.
\nWe are becoming more humble. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:53,700 –> 00:04:58,900
\nWe are becoming more trusting
\nmore reliant on him. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:05:00,100 –> 00:05:04,100
\nAnd the suffering that we that
\nwe we don’t want to ensure that <\/p>\n
64
\n00:05:04,100 –> 00:05:08,000
\nwe despised that we want to cast
\noff is actually changing our <\/p>\n
65
\n00:05:08,000 –> 00:05:13,400
\nminds and characters.
\nNow, you’ve probably never heard<\/p>\n
66
\n00:05:13,400 –> 00:05:16,900
\nof a Woman by the name of
\nElizabeth. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:05:16,900 –> 00:05:21,800
\nKubler-Ross she is a Swiss
\npsychiatrist. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:05:23,300 –> 00:05:30,000
\nShe wrote a book in 1969,
\nentitled on death and dying in <\/p>\n
69
\n00:05:30,000 –> 00:05:33,800
\nwhich she outlined the five
\nstages of grief. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:05:35,000 –> 00:05:38,900
\nShe received 20 honorary degrees
\nfrom different universities <\/p>\n
71
\n00:05:38,900 –> 00:05:43,600
\naround the world and apparently
\nshe taught 125 thousand <\/p>\n
72
\n00:05:43,600 –> 00:05:48,200
\nstudents.
\nHer theory on Griff and here it <\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:48,200 –> 00:05:52,300
\nis.
\nThere’s five stages to grief. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:52,800 –> 00:05:56,700
\nIt starts out with denial, is
\nthis really happening to me? <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:58,100 –> 00:06:03,200
\nThen it moves to anger.
\nWhy is this happening to me? <\/p>\n
76
\n00:06:04,600 –> 00:06:12,100
\nEmotional disturbance, then we
\nmove to bargaining. <\/p>\n
77
\n00:06:12,200 –> 00:06:16,500
\nWe attempt to negotiate as this
\nreally feel true. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:06:16,500 –> 00:06:19,000
\nHow can we how can we make the
\nsituation better? <\/p>\n
79
\n00:06:19,000 –> 00:06:23,200
\nIs this a trade-off.
\nMaybe we can do something to to <\/p>\n
80
\n00:06:23,400 –> 00:06:29,500
\nconvert the situation.
\nBut slowly we realize No, we <\/p>\n
81
\n00:06:29,500 –> 00:06:33,200
\nhave suffered loss.
\nWe enter into depression <\/p>\n
82
\n00:06:33,600 –> 00:06:40,100
\nPreparatory, grieving.
\nAnd finally The grand stage of <\/p>\n
83
\n00:06:40,600 –> 00:06:46,300
\nacceptance where we are able to
\nachieve some objectivity. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:06:47,300 –> 00:06:50,800
\nThis is the greatest
\npsychiatrist that the world has <\/p>\n
85
\n00:06:50,800 –> 00:06:55,700
\nseen with the best cycle of
\ngrief yet discovered. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:06:55,900 –> 00:07:00,100
\nBut what a lousy ending?
\nWhat a lousy ending brothers and<\/p>\n
87
\n00:07:00,100 –> 00:07:04,000
\nsisters to the cycle that we get
\nto the end. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:07:04,200 –> 00:07:07,400
\nWe’ve experienced all of this
\ntrauma and pain. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:07:07,700 –> 00:07:12,800
\nAnd the end of the cycle is
\njust, yes, it has happened to <\/p>\n
90
\n00:07:12,800 –> 00:07:14,700
\nme.
\nI accept it. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:07:16,700 –> 00:07:20,900
\nWhat is missing from this human
\nmodel of coping with Affliction.<\/p>\n
92
\n00:07:20,900 –> 00:07:29,600
\nAnd the answer is this last step
\nthat we see purpose that we find<\/p>\n
93
\n00:07:29,600 –> 00:07:34,200
\nmeaning behind are suffering.
\nThis only comes by a <\/p>\n
94
\n00:07:34,200 –> 00:07:37,000
\nrelationship with God without
\nGod. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:07:37,100 –> 00:07:40,800
\nThis last step is impossible, it
\nneeds his character, his <\/p>\n
96
\n00:07:40,800 –> 00:07:45,200
\ncompassion, his purpose, and
\nwhat a wonderful Journey. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:07:46,000 –> 00:07:50,500
\nLooking back through
\nLamentations, we can see that <\/p>\n
98
\n00:07:50,500 –> 00:07:54,500
\nthe nation and the prophet were
\ntaken on by their loving <\/p>\n
99
\n00:07:54,700 –> 00:07:59,500
\nHeavenly Father.
\nBecause when we look at these <\/p>\n
100
\n00:07:59,500 –> 00:08:05,100
\nstages of grief with our sixth
\nstage tacked on the end, we can <\/p>\n
101
\n00:08:05,100 –> 00:08:10,400
\nsee that in actual fact, both
\nthe nation and the prophet are <\/p>\n
102
\n00:08:10,400 –> 00:08:16,000
\ntaken through these five or six
\nstages of grief, wonderfully by <\/p>\n
103
\n00:08:16,000 –> 00:08:19,300
\nour loving heavenly father.
\nLet me just illustrate it very <\/p>\n
104
\n00:08:19,300 –> 00:08:21,800
\nquickly and you can look at it
\nin your own time. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:08:22,900 –> 00:08:27,900
\nLooking under the nation.
\nWhen it says denial chapter 1 <\/p>\n
106
\n00:08:28,000 –> 00:08:34,799
\nverses 11 and 12 all her people
\nsigh, they seek bread, they have<\/p>\n
107
\n00:08:34,799 –> 00:08:38,100
\ngiven their Pleasant things for
\nme to relieve, the soul CE, o, <\/p>\n
108
\n00:08:38,100 –> 00:08:40,799
\nYahweh and consider for I am
\nbecome vial. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:08:41,700 –> 00:08:45,000
\nIs it?
\nNothing to you all ye that pass <\/p>\n
110
\n00:08:45,000 –> 00:08:50,400
\nby behold and see if there be
\nany sorrow like unto my sorrow? <\/p>\n
111
\n00:08:50,600 –> 00:08:54,500
\nIs this really happening to me?
\nIs that really? <\/p>\n
112
\n00:08:54,500 –> 00:08:57,500
\nThis bad?
\nThe nation is saying to the <\/p>\n
113
\n00:08:57,500 –> 00:08:59,600
\npassers-by.
\nHave you ever seen anything like<\/p>\n
114
\n00:08:59,600 –> 00:09:00,500
\nthis?
\nTell me. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:09:00,600 –> 00:09:05,300
\nIt’s all a dream.
\nWhat about the third section <\/p>\n
116
\n00:09:05,300 –> 00:09:08,100
\nbargaining?
\nNegotiating with God? <\/p>\n
117
\n00:09:08,100 –> 00:09:12,500
\nLook at chapter 2 and verse 20,
\nbehold o, Yahweh, and consider <\/p>\n
118
\n00:09:12,700 –> 00:09:15,300
\nto whom thou Hast done this
\nreconsider. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:09:15,300 –> 00:09:18,900
\nIs there any chance we can?
\nWe can have a talk about about <\/p>\n
120
\n00:09:18,900 –> 00:09:22,800
\nchanging things.
\nShow the women, eat their fruit <\/p>\n
121
\n00:09:22,800 –> 00:09:24,700
\nand children of a spend long
\nshow. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:09:24,700 –> 00:09:27,900
\nThe priests in the prophet be
\nslain in the century of Yahweh. <\/p>\n
123
\n00:09:28,000 –> 00:09:29,800
\nIs this really where you want to
\nleave us. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:09:29,800 –> 00:09:33,100
\nGod The nation starts
\nbargaining. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:09:33,400 –> 00:09:37,700
\nBut finally they come to the
\npoint of seeing the purpose <\/p>\n
126
\n00:09:37,700 –> 00:09:42,200
\nbehind their suffering.
\nSuffering was to make them turn <\/p>\n
127
\n00:09:42,600 –> 00:09:46,400
\nand in chapter 5 and verse 21,
\nwe finally get there and we will<\/p>\n
128
\n00:09:46,400 –> 00:09:51,600
\nthis morning turn their us unto
\nthee o Yahweh and we shall be <\/p>\n
129
\n00:09:51,600 –> 00:09:55,100
\nturned as a brother.
\nJames showed us straight words, <\/p>\n
130
\n00:09:55,100 –> 00:10:01,100
\nstraight out of Jeremiah So
\nlemon tations has everything <\/p>\n
131
\n00:10:01,300 –> 00:10:03,900
\nthat the top clinical
\npsychiatrist in the world have <\/p>\n
132
\n00:10:03,900 –> 00:10:08,300
\ncome up with and more.
\nThis is a masterpiece brothers <\/p>\n
133
\n00:10:08,300 –> 00:10:10,500
\nand sisters in dealing with
\ngrief. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:10:10,500 –> 00:10:15,300
\nAnd this morning, we want to
\nfocus on chapters 4 and 5. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:10:16,200 –> 00:10:19,800
\nAnd see just how the nation
\nwhich was engulfed in Hopeless. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:10:19,800 –> 00:10:23,100
\nBlackness back in chapters one
\nand two respond. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:10:23,100 –> 00:10:29,900
\nNow to the man of chapter 3
\nWe’re now going to go from The <\/p>\n
138
\n00:10:29,900 –> 00:10:35,100
\nAfflicted Daughter of Zion to
\nthe precious sons of Zion and <\/p>\n
139
\n00:10:35,100 –> 00:10:39,300
\nthe answer to that question.
\nHow has the man of chapter three<\/p>\n
140
\n00:10:39,300 –> 00:10:44,400
\naffected them is?
\nNot much at all. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:10:45,200 –> 00:10:50,700
\nBy the time we start chapter 4,
\nchapter 4 is really a return to <\/p>\n
142
\n00:10:50,700 –> 00:10:55,800
\nthe Blackness of chapters 1 and
\n2 to the pitiful, horrific state<\/p>\n
143
\n00:10:55,800 –> 00:10:58,800
\nof the nation.
\nAnd it starts again with this <\/p>\n
144
\n00:10:58,800 –> 00:11:04,600
\nNational lament, how is the gold
\nbecome dim? <\/p>\n
145
\n00:11:04,600 –> 00:11:10,300
\nIt’s a return to self-pity and
\ndisbelief return to the story of<\/p>\n
146
\n00:11:10,300 –> 00:11:15,500
\nhow everything was upside.
\nI’d down and in actual fact, the<\/p>\n
147
\n00:11:15,500 –> 00:11:21,800
\nfirst 12 verses of chapter 4 are
\ngoing to be a series of six <\/p>\n
148
\n00:11:21,800 –> 00:11:27,900
\ncouplets where the profit is
\ngoing to describe how completely<\/p>\n
149
\n00:11:27,900 –> 00:11:31,400
\nGod has turned everything upside
\ndown. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:11:32,400 –> 00:11:37,600
\nWe read in verses 1 and 2.
\nThese words, how is the gold <\/p>\n
151
\n00:11:37,600 –> 00:11:40,800
\nbecome dim?
\nHow is the most fine? <\/p>\n
152
\n00:11:40,800 –> 00:11:44,800
\nGold changed the Stones of the
\nsanctuary are poured out in the <\/p>\n
153
\n00:11:44,800 –> 00:11:50,000
\ntop of every street, the
\nprecious sons of Zion comparable<\/p>\n
154
\n00:11:50,000 –> 00:11:54,500
\nto find gold, how are they
\nesteemed as Earthen pictures the<\/p>\n
155
\n00:11:54,500 –> 00:11:59,000
\nwork of the hands of the Potter?
\nThe most fine. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:11:59,000 –> 00:12:02,900
\nGold was changed.
\nTheir faith was gone. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:12:04,800 –> 00:12:11,700
\nNow it was lusterless dim
\ncontaminated unreflective. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:12:12,800 –> 00:12:17,600
\nYou remember Ezekiel had said in
\nEzekiel 21 and verse 26 of <\/p>\n
159
\n00:12:17,600 –> 00:12:23,100
\nzedekiah, remove the diadem take
\noff the crown, the shall not be <\/p>\n
160
\n00:12:23,100 –> 00:12:27,700
\nthe same and it wasn’t the same,
\nit wasn’t the same, the most <\/p>\n
161
\n00:12:27,700 –> 00:12:29,700
\nprecious possession of Any
\nNation. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:12:29,700 –> 00:12:34,000
\nIts people had gone from
\nFeingold to something like <\/p>\n
163
\n00:12:34,000 –> 00:12:40,300
\nelement IAM a base metal that
\ngone from holy Stones as the <\/p>\n
164
\n00:12:40,300 –> 00:12:45,500
\nrevised Standard Version.
\nPuts it in in verse 12 <\/p>\n
165
\n00:12:46,300 –> 00:12:50,500
\nshattered, Pottery, it was a
\nremarkable Fall From Grace, <\/p>\n
166
\n00:12:50,900 –> 00:12:56,500
\nGod’s peculiar treasure verse 7
\nsays more ready than rubies like<\/p>\n
167
\n00:12:56,500 –> 00:12:59,300
\nsapphires for brightness, his
\ngemstones. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:12:59,700 –> 00:13:05,900
\nNow lay scattered abandoned
\ndiscarded in the street The <\/p>\n
169
\n00:13:05,900 –> 00:13:09,200
\nFeingold.
\nThe faith of the nation was <\/p>\n
170
\n00:13:09,200 –> 00:13:11,800
\ngone.
\nIt had changed. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:13:12,100 –> 00:13:16,000
\nIt’s a bit like Solomon’s
\nShields of of gold Feingold. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:13:16,000 –> 00:13:18,400
\nAnd first of Kings teen and
\nverse 17. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:13:18,700 –> 00:13:24,400
\nYou remember that got replaced
\nwith kind of cheap imitations by<\/p>\n
174
\n00:13:24,400 –> 00:13:28,500
\nriobamba and first of Kings, 14
\nverses 26 to 27. <\/p>\n
175
\n00:13:28,700 –> 00:13:32,200
\nIn the brass Shields, really
\nweren’t the same as the <\/p>\n
176
\n00:13:32,200 –> 00:13:35,600
\nFeingold.
\nThe Feingold has Has changed and<\/p>\n
177
\n00:13:35,600 –> 00:13:40,300
\nhere Jeremiah bewails.
\nAgain the said and sorry state <\/p>\n
178
\n00:13:40,300 –> 00:13:46,900
\nof the nation their faith had
\ngone in verses 3 and 4. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:13:48,600 –> 00:13:53,200
\nIt’s going to describe the
\ndeparture of the feelings of the<\/p>\n
180
\n00:13:53,200 –> 00:13:56,900
\npeople.
\nHe says, even the sea monsters <\/p>\n
181
\n00:13:57,100 –> 00:14:00,000
\ndraw out the breast and give
\nsuck to their young ones. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:14:00,400 –> 00:14:04,300
\nThe daughter of my people has
\nbecome cruel like the ostriches <\/p>\n
183
\n00:14:04,300 –> 00:14:07,200
\nin the wilderness.
\nThe tongue of the sucking child <\/p>\n
184
\n00:14:07,200 –> 00:14:09,600
\ncleave Earth, to the roof of his
\nmouth for thirst. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:14:09,600 –> 00:14:13,700
\nThe young children, ask bread
\nand no man break Earth it unto <\/p>\n
186
\n00:14:13,700 –> 00:14:16,900
\nthem.
\nDo you know the Hebrew word for <\/p>\n
187
\n00:14:16,900 –> 00:14:20,200
\nsea monsters?
\nAs probably bitter rendered <\/p>\n
188
\n00:14:20,200 –> 00:14:23,000
\njackals.
\nThat’s how the RSV puts it in. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:14:23,000 –> 00:14:27,400
\nActual fact, it’s used six times
\nin the book of Jeremiah and it’s<\/p>\n
190
\n00:14:27,400 –> 00:14:33,700
\nalways translated jackals rather
\nrooms has wild dogs keil and <\/p>\n
191
\n00:14:33,700 –> 00:14:37,500
\ndelitzsch has she-wolves.
\nSo, it’s talking about wild <\/p>\n
192
\n00:14:37,500 –> 00:14:43,000
\ndogs.
\nHe’s saying even the wild dogs <\/p>\n
193
\n00:14:43,000 –> 00:14:47,800
\ngive suck to their ones.
\nThis this nation was worse than <\/p>\n
194
\n00:14:47,800 –> 00:14:51,700
\nScavenging, dogs.
\nScavenging, dogs might eat their<\/p>\n
195
\n00:14:51,700 –> 00:14:57,100
\nown vomit.
\nBut not usually their own <\/p>\n
196
\n00:14:57,100 –> 00:15:01,000
\nchildren.
\nBut verse 10 tells us that’s <\/p>\n
197
\n00:15:01,000 –> 00:15:03,800
\nexactly what the nation of Judah
\nwere doing. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:15:04,000 –> 00:15:07,300
\nThey were worse than Scavenging
\ndogs. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:15:07,700 –> 00:15:09,500
\nThere were eating their own
\nchildren. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:15:11,300 –> 00:15:15,100
\nNow, this is not the first time
\nthat the prophets have compared <\/p>\n
201
\n00:15:15,100 –> 00:15:19,400
\nIsrael to animals and found them
\nwanting you might like to take a<\/p>\n
202
\n00:15:19,408 –> 00:15:22,300
\nquick note of these Isaiah 1 and
\nverse 3. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:15:22,400 –> 00:15:27,300
\nThe ox knoweth his owner, the S
\nhis master’s crib but Israel <\/p>\n
204
\n00:15:27,300 –> 00:15:32,600
\ndoes not know.
\nMy people does not consider Or <\/p>\n
205
\n00:15:32,700 –> 00:15:36,300
\nJeremiah 8 and verse 7, ye the
\nstalk and the heaven knoweth her<\/p>\n
206
\n00:15:36,300 –> 00:15:39,400
\nappointed time, the turtle and
\nthe crane and the swallow <\/p>\n
207
\n00:15:39,400 –> 00:15:42,500
\nobserved, the time of their
\ncoming, but my people know not <\/p>\n
208
\n00:15:42,800 –> 00:15:47,200
\nthe Judgment of Yahweh in
\nexactly the same way here. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:15:47,500 –> 00:15:51,200
\nThe nation is worse than the
\nanimals. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:15:52,300 –> 00:15:56,200
\nEven the animals do what God has
\nasked of them. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:15:57,400 –> 00:16:01,600
\nHere, the nation has no natural
\naffection, that become like <\/p>\n
212
\n00:16:01,700 –> 00:16:07,600
\nostriches and verse 3, which job
\n39 and verses 15 to 16. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:16:07,800 –> 00:16:10,400
\nSay, they leave the eggs and the
\nEarth. <\/p>\n
214
\n00:16:10,600 –> 00:16:13,200
\nThey forget that their foot may
\ncrush them. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:16:13,500 –> 00:16:16,200
\nShe’s hardened against two young
\nones as though they were not <\/p>\n
216
\n00:16:16,200 –> 00:16:19,800
\nhers.
\nAll natural feelings are gone. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:16:21,000 –> 00:16:24,400
\nShe’s indifferent to the needs
\nof her own children. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:16:26,000 –> 00:16:30,900
\nAll her feelings have gone.
\nIn verses 5 and 6, we’re going <\/p>\n
219
\n00:16:30,900 –> 00:16:33,100
\nto find that.
\nTheir wealth was gone. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:16:33,400 –> 00:16:35,800
\nThe wealthy have become
\ndesolate. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:16:36,400 –> 00:16:40,300
\nThey that did feed delicately
\nare desolate in the streets. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:16:40,500 –> 00:16:44,200
\nThey that were brought up in
\nscarlet and Brace dung Hills for<\/p>\n
223
\n00:16:44,200 –> 00:16:47,400
\nthe punishment of the iniquity
\nof the daughter of my people is <\/p>\n
224
\n00:16:47,400 –> 00:16:51,700
\ngreater than the punishment of
\nthe sin of Sodom, that was <\/p>\n
225
\n00:16:51,700 –> 00:16:56,000
\noverthrown, as in a moment, and
\nno hands stayed on her. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:16:57,300 –> 00:17:02,800
\nThe revised standard version. 4
\nverse 5, says these that feasted<\/p>\n
227
\n00:17:02,800 –> 00:17:07,200
\non dainties and now begging for
\nscraps. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:17:07,300 –> 00:17:13,700
\nEverything is upside down if you
\nwant a description of the high <\/p>\n
229
\n00:17:13,700 –> 00:17:19,300
\nsociety Dandy’s of Judah, just
\ngo back and read in your own <\/p>\n
230
\n00:17:19,300 –> 00:17:25,099
\ntime.
\nIsaiah 3 verses 16 to 26, The <\/p>\n
231
\n00:17:25,099 –> 00:17:30,800
\ndaughters of Zion are haughty
\nwith stretched forth Knicks and <\/p>\n
232
\n00:17:30,800 –> 00:17:36,000
\nwanton eyes minsang.
\nAs they go, they have tinkling <\/p>\n
233
\n00:17:36,000 –> 00:17:42,700
\nornaments bracelets Mufflers.
\nBonnets headbands, tablets <\/p>\n
234
\n00:17:42,800 –> 00:17:47,500
\nearrings, Rings knows Jewels
\nmentals whimpers. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:17:47,700 –> 00:17:51,600
\nCrisping pins mean it puts the
\nfashion models of today to <\/p>\n
236
\n00:17:51,600 –> 00:17:57,700
\nshame.
\nAnd God is saying those people, <\/p>\n
237
\n00:17:58,300 –> 00:18:02,200
\nthose who were the fox, who
\ndined, sumptuously, who, <\/p>\n
238
\n00:18:02,200 –> 00:18:05,900
\ncultivated good taste, who
\nworried about fashion, and the <\/p>\n
239
\n00:18:05,900 –> 00:18:08,800
\nArts.
\nRather in the says, they who <\/p>\n
240
\n00:18:08,800 –> 00:18:14,800
\nused to be carried on Crimson.
\nNow, embracing dung Hills <\/p>\n
241
\n00:18:15,600 –> 00:18:20,600
\nrubbish heaps, scratching
\nthrough the the bins, at the <\/p>\n
242
\n00:18:20,600 –> 00:18:23,900
\nback of the restaurants
\nsearching for food. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:18:24,100 –> 00:18:28,500
\nIt’s a graphic description of
\nGod, turning High Society upside<\/p>\n
244
\n00:18:28,500 –> 00:18:32,000
\ndown their wealth and their
\nstatus was gone. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:18:34,500 –> 00:18:39,200
\nIncidentally, verse 5 seems to
\nbe, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n
246
\n00:18:39,300 –> 00:18:44,100
\nPerhaps the basis for Christ.
\nParable of the rich, man and <\/p>\n
247
\n00:18:44,100 –> 00:18:47,900
\nLazarus.
\nIn Luke chapter, 16, the rich <\/p>\n
248
\n00:18:47,900 –> 00:18:53,500
\nman is clothed in purple, he
\nfears sumptuously every day. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:18:55,500 –> 00:18:58,100
\nBut then the dogs come and lick
\nhis sores. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:19:00,700 –> 00:19:06,300
\nHe is, he is punished for his
\nsins and maybe Christ alludes to<\/p>\n
251
\n00:19:06,300 –> 00:19:10,400
\nLamentations.
\nWhat about verses 7 and 8? <\/p>\n
252
\n00:19:10,600 –> 00:19:15,000
\nThe nazarites, the leaders are
\nunrecognizable, they’re not <\/p>\n
253
\n00:19:15,000 –> 00:19:18,900
\nknown in the streets, her
\nnazirites were pure than snow, <\/p>\n
254
\n00:19:19,200 –> 00:19:21,600
\nthey were whiter the milk.
\nThey were more ready and body <\/p>\n
255
\n00:19:21,600 –> 00:19:24,300
\nthan rubies are polishing was of
\nsapphire. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:19:24,500 –> 00:19:29,100
\nBut now the envisage is blacker
\nthan a coal. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:19:29,300 –> 00:19:32,900
\nThey are not known in the
\nstreets, this skin Cleaver to <\/p>\n
258
\n00:19:32,900 –> 00:19:36,900
\ntheir bones of his withered, his
\nbecome like a stick. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:19:38,800 –> 00:19:42,900
\nThe lead is separated to
\nHoliness and cleanness. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:19:43,000 –> 00:19:49,400
\nAnd now withered and dirty.
\nLook at how verses 7 and 8 are a<\/p>\n
261
\n00:19:49,400 –> 00:19:54,700
\ncontrast of each other.
\nThe nazarites used to be pure <\/p>\n
262
\n00:19:54,700 –> 00:19:59,500
\nthan snow.
\nBut now blacker than coal verse <\/p>\n
263
\n00:19:59,500 –> 00:20:02,800
\n8, they used to be whiter than
\nmilk now. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:20:03,000 –> 00:20:07,300
\nUnrecognizably, dirty.
\nThey used to be more ready than <\/p>\n
265
\n00:20:07,300 –> 00:20:12,100
\nrubies now, this skin cleave
\nEarth to their bones are used to<\/p>\n
266
\n00:20:12,108 –> 00:20:13,900
\nbe more beautiful than
\nsapphires. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:20:14,400 –> 00:20:22,400
\nNow, that just like a worthless
\nugly withered stick The <\/p>\n
268
\n00:20:22,400 –> 00:20:29,300
\nHoliness, they cleanness, their
\nhealth, their beauty had all <\/p>\n
269
\n00:20:29,300 –> 00:20:35,800
\nbeen taken away.
\nThey have gone from whiter than <\/p>\n
270
\n00:20:35,800 –> 00:20:41,200
\nsnow verse. 72 as the margin
\nsays in verse 8. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:20:42,300 –> 00:20:46,800
\nDarker than Blackness, there
\ncouldn’t be a greater Fall From <\/p>\n
272
\n00:20:46,800 –> 00:20:50,000
\nGrace.
\nFor the rulers, the leaders, the<\/p>\n
273
\n00:20:50,000 –> 00:20:56,300
\nElders of the nation.
\nComplete reversal of Fortunes <\/p>\n
274
\n00:20:56,300 –> 00:21:01,900
\nonce highly esteemed.
\nNow forsaken, their leaders were<\/p>\n
275
\n00:21:01,900 –> 00:21:06,400
\ngone, the cream of the nation.
\nAnd what about, what about <\/p>\n
276
\n00:21:06,400 –> 00:21:11,200
\nverses 9 and 10?
\nThe compassionate mother’s boil <\/p>\n
277
\n00:21:11,200 –> 00:21:15,100
\ntheir own children, their
\nconscience was gone. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:21:15,500 –> 00:21:20,900
\nThe cities of Sodom and Gomorrah
\nin verse six were destroyed in a<\/p>\n
279
\n00:21:20,908 –> 00:21:26,000
\nmoment.
\nBut look what it says in verses <\/p>\n
280
\n00:21:26,000 –> 00:21:31,100
\n9 and 10, they that be slain
\nwith the sword are better than <\/p>\n
281
\n00:21:31,100 –> 00:21:36,700
\nthey that be slain with Hunger
\nfor these pine away stricken <\/p>\n
282
\n00:21:36,700 –> 00:21:40,200
\nthrough for want of the fruits
\nof the field, the hands of the <\/p>\n
283
\n00:21:40,200 –> 00:21:44,700
\npitiful woman have sodden their
\nown children, they were there. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:21:44,700 –> 00:21:48,900
\nMeat in the destruction of the
\ndaughter of my people and of <\/p>\n
285
\n00:21:48,900 –> 00:21:52,000
\nSodom and Gomorrah verse.
\nSix were destroyed in a moment <\/p>\n
286
\n00:21:52,100 –> 00:21:54,100
\nthat turned out.
\nOut to be God’s mercy. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:21:55,400 –> 00:22:00,000
\nThat it just took a second and
\nthey were did Jerusalem and its <\/p>\n
288
\n00:22:00,000 –> 00:22:05,700
\npeople have tortured themselves
\nto death over months and months <\/p>\n
289
\n00:22:05,900 –> 00:22:08,900
\nand months of pain.
\nWhat a graphic picture. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:22:08,900 –> 00:22:15,600
\nImagine imagine Wanting to be
\nlike Sodom and Gomorrah in their<\/p>\n
291
\n00:22:15,600 –> 00:22:19,500
\ndestruction, in the swiftness of
\nthat judgment was more <\/p>\n
292
\n00:22:19,500 –> 00:22:23,600
\ncompassionate to boil your own
\nson, then to watch his life. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:22:23,700 –> 00:22:26,500
\nEither way from Hunger or
\nmaternal Instinct. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:22:26,500 –> 00:22:29,700
\nAll conscience is gone what a
\nhorrific time. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:22:31,300 –> 00:22:35,200
\nJeremiah had predicted hadn’t.
\nHe that they would eat their own<\/p>\n
296
\n00:22:35,200 –> 00:22:38,700
\nsons and daughters and friends
\nin The Siege and in the <\/p>\n
297
\n00:22:38,700 –> 00:22:41,900
\nstraightness, Jeremiah 19 and
\nverse 9. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:22:42,100 –> 00:22:46,500
\nAnd it had all come true.
\nEverything was upside down and <\/p>\n
299
\n00:22:46,500 –> 00:22:51,300
\nyou couldn’t get more upside
\ndown then, mothers eating their <\/p>\n
300
\n00:22:51,300 –> 00:22:56,700
\nown children.
\nBut it had happened and lastly, <\/p>\n
301
\n00:22:56,800 –> 00:23:02,800
\nthe last couplet verses 11 and
\n12 the destruction of the city. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:23:06,700 –> 00:23:09,900
\nWhere am I?
\nI’m lost are here before we move<\/p>\n
303
\n00:23:09,900 –> 00:23:12,600
\non to the last.
\nCouplet I have inserted another <\/p>\n
304
\n00:23:12,600 –> 00:23:15,100
\nslide and it’s this.
\nThis is a great lesson. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:23:15,100 –> 00:23:20,500
\nBy the way, the children, Have
\nbeen eaten. <\/p>\n
306
\n00:23:21,200 –> 00:23:25,400
\nThis is a sub theme throughout
\nLamentations and it’s the fate <\/p>\n
307
\n00:23:25,400 –> 00:23:28,400
\nof the children.
\nLook at this lemon. <\/p>\n
308
\n00:23:28,400 –> 00:23:32,400
\nTations. 1 verse 5, the children
\nhave gone into captivity. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:23:32,700 –> 00:23:35,300
\nThe children are crushed in
\ndesolate. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:23:35,500 –> 00:23:40,200
\nThe infant’s Swoon in the
\nstreets, their soul is poured <\/p>\n
311
\n00:23:40,200 –> 00:23:43,900
\ninto their mother’s bosom.
\nIt’s the small ones that faint <\/p>\n
312
\n00:23:43,900 –> 00:23:46,700
\nfor hunger.
\nIn the streets children are span<\/p>\n
313
\n00:23:46,700 –> 00:23:50,300
\nlonger eating his food, the Yong
\nLi did on the ground. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:23:50,400 –> 00:23:55,100
\nThose are swaddled are consumed.
\nThe little ones, the children <\/p>\n
315
\n00:23:55,100 –> 00:24:00,400
\nare dying of thirst and hunger
\nand 4:4 The Boiled, and eaten <\/p>\n
316
\n00:24:00,400 –> 00:24:02,800
\nhis food.
\nThe children fell under the <\/p>\n
317
\n00:24:02,800 –> 00:24:05,000
\nwood, what’s Lamentations
\ntelling us, brothers and <\/p>\n
318
\n00:24:05,000 –> 00:24:07,300
\nsisters.
\nIt’s telling us. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:24:08,600 –> 00:24:15,300
\nThat when we fail in our faith,
\nour children disproportionately <\/p>\n
320
\n00:24:15,400 –> 00:24:20,700
\nsuffer at children,
\ndisproportionately suffer, and <\/p>\n
321
\n00:24:20,800 –> 00:24:25,200
\nwe might have failed in our
\nfaith, but look what happens to <\/p>\n
322
\n00:24:25,200 –> 00:24:28,800
\nthem.
\nWhat a lesson in our own lives <\/p>\n
323
\n00:24:28,800 –> 00:24:33,400
\nto take heed to These Warnings.
\nAnd so lastly, we come to the <\/p>\n
324
\n00:24:33,400 –> 00:24:37,800
\nlast couplet verses 11 and 12
\nthe kings of the Earth. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:24:38,500 –> 00:24:41,700
\nNobody would have believed that
\nJerusalem could be taken. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:24:42,600 –> 00:24:47,100
\nTheir city was gone.
\nYahweh has a couple of stirs <\/p>\n
327
\n00:24:47,100 –> 00:24:48,300
\nFury.
\nVerse 11. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:24:48,300 –> 00:24:51,400
\nHe hath poured out his Fierce
\nanger and has kindled a fire in <\/p>\n
329
\n00:24:51,400 –> 00:24:53,300
\nZion.
\nHe has destroyed the <\/p>\n
330
\n00:24:53,300 –> 00:24:56,900
\nfoundation’s their of the kings
\nof the Earth, all the <\/p>\n
331
\n00:24:56,900 –> 00:25:00,600
\ninhabitants of the world would
\nnever have believed that the <\/p>\n
332
\n00:25:00,600 –> 00:25:03,400
\nadversary and the enemy should
\nhave entered into the Gates of <\/p>\n
333
\n00:25:03,400 –> 00:25:06,200
\nJerusalem.
\nThere was a real sense of wonder<\/p>\n
334
\n00:25:06,900 –> 00:25:12,100
\nincredibleness about the Uh seen
\nGod’s impregnable City in the <\/p>\n
335
\n00:25:12,100 –> 00:25:16,400
\ntemple that you think God would
\nnever allow to be destroyed. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:25:16,400 –> 00:25:20,900
\nNow, lay in ruins, it was the
\nultimate proof that he dwells <\/p>\n
337
\n00:25:20,900 –> 00:25:26,300
\nnot in temples made with hands
\nbut it was all gone their faith.<\/p>\n
338
\n00:25:26,600 –> 00:25:30,400
\nTheir feelings, their wealth,
\ntheir leaders, their conscience.<\/p>\n
339
\n00:25:30,600 –> 00:25:32,900
\nThis city.
\nEverything was gone. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:25:33,700 –> 00:25:36,000
\nWow.
\nHow had this happened? <\/p>\n
341
\n00:25:39,400 –> 00:25:42,500
\nIt’s like a return to the
\ndarkness of chapters 1 & 2. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:25:44,400 –> 00:25:48,300
\nBut you see chapters four and
\nfive are distinct from chapters <\/p>\n
343
\n00:25:48,300 –> 00:25:51,800
\none.
\nAnd two, it is not all doom and <\/p>\n
344
\n00:25:51,800 –> 00:25:56,200
\ndisaster because chapters four
\nand five have a sincere <\/p>\n
345
\n00:25:56,500 –> 00:26:01,600
\nself-examination, a sincere
\nrepentance a turning back to <\/p>\n
346
\n00:26:01,600 –> 00:26:03,600
\nGod.
\nAnd we see the start of this in <\/p>\n
347
\n00:26:03,600 –> 00:26:11,000
\nverse 17 to 20 because verse 17
\nto 20 of chapter 4 is a section <\/p>\n
348
\n00:26:11,300 –> 00:26:16,400
\nthat describes the broken.
\nFlexions of the common people on<\/p>\n
349
\n00:26:16,400 –> 00:26:19,900
\nhow foolish they had been in
\nhindsight. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:26:21,000 –> 00:26:22,800
\nThat been deceived by their
\nleaders. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:26:23,300 –> 00:26:27,400
\nLED astray by false prophets,
\nthey were guilty of trusting and<\/p>\n
352
\n00:26:27,400 –> 00:26:31,500
\nman, rather than God having
\nitching ears that only wanted to<\/p>\n
353
\n00:26:31,500 –> 00:26:36,900
\nhear what Isaiah calls and
\nIsaiah 30, and verse 10, smooth <\/p>\n
354
\n00:26:37,300 –> 00:26:42,100
\nthings.
\nAnd we know that verses 17 to 20<\/p>\n
355
\n00:26:42,200 –> 00:26:45,100
\nis a distinct section where
\nJerusalem is talking. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:26:45,100 –> 00:26:48,400
\nThe common people are talking
\nbecause, well, look at the <\/p>\n
357
\n00:26:48,400 –> 00:26:51,800
\nexplosion of different pronouns.
\nIn the text. <\/p>\n
358
\n00:26:51,800 –> 00:26:54,700
\nAnd for those of you who have
\ndone the coloring in this will <\/p>\n
359
\n00:26:54,700 –> 00:26:58,100
\njump off the page for you, and
\nyou’ll immediately see why <\/p>\n
360
\n00:26:58,300 –> 00:27:01,600
\ncoloring in the pronouns is so
\nhelpful. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:27:01,900 –> 00:27:05,200
\nWhen you come to verses 17 to
\n20, it’s all about. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:27:05,200 –> 00:27:08,900
\nWe it’s our eyes.
\nOur vain help. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:27:08,900 –> 00:27:12,400
\nWe have watched for a nation
\nthat could not save us. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:27:13,200 –> 00:27:17,200
\nThese are the broken reflections
\nof the common people on how <\/p>\n
365
\n00:27:17,200 –> 00:27:22,300
\nfoolish they had been.
\nNow, we looked Very briefly in <\/p>\n
366
\n00:27:22,300 –> 00:27:27,600
\nour introduction session at the
\ncharacters of the drama, but <\/p>\n
367
\n00:27:27,800 –> 00:27:31,000
\njust to just to illustrate why
\nthis is so important. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:27:32,000 –> 00:27:36,100
\nIt really gives us another layer
\nof understanding Lamentations <\/p>\n
369
\n00:27:36,100 –> 00:27:37,400
\nthat we haven’t really looked
\nat. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:27:37,400 –> 00:27:39,200
\nIt’s a bit like the Song of
\nSolomon. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:27:39,200 –> 00:27:43,800
\nThese different people speaking
\ninteracting with each other and <\/p>\n
372
\n00:27:44,500 –> 00:27:48,900
\nwe did look at this very briefly
\nwhen we were in chapter one, but<\/p>\n
373
\n00:27:49,000 –> 00:27:50,600
\nyou may be able to see from
\nhere. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:27:50,700 –> 00:27:53,800
\nHere.
\nThis is 1:9 and look how halfway<\/p>\n
375
\n00:27:53,800 –> 00:27:58,400
\nthrough verse 9.
\nIt just changes from one speaker<\/p>\n
376
\n00:27:58,400 –> 00:28:01,900
\nto the other and you can tell
\nbecause of this little change of<\/p>\n
377
\n00:28:01,900 –> 00:28:03,300
\npronoun.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:28:03,300 –> 00:28:07,800
\nSo it’s helpful to establish
\nwho’s speaking in the text and <\/p>\n
379
\n00:28:07,800 –> 00:28:11,100
\nwe see these are the characters
\nof the drama and a few. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:28:11,500 –> 00:28:13,900
\nIf you haven’t got a note of
\nthat, you can get a note later <\/p>\n
381
\n00:28:13,900 –> 00:28:21,300
\nor color it in in the coloring
\nin So, here in chapter 4 in <\/p>\n
382
\n00:28:21,300 –> 00:28:25,300
\nverses 17 to 20, you can see
\nthat we are back to Jerusalem <\/p>\n
383
\n00:28:25,600 –> 00:28:29,300
\nreflecting on what might have
\nbeen on, what they did wrong, <\/p>\n
384
\n00:28:29,800 –> 00:28:33,700
\nhow they put their trust in man
\nand refuse to listen to God. <\/p>\n
385
\n00:28:35,600 –> 00:28:42,000
\nThis is the reflections and the
\nregrets of the nation of Israel.<\/p>\n
386
\n00:28:42,900 –> 00:28:49,500
\nLook what they say, our eyes as
\nyet failed verse 17. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:28:51,100 –> 00:28:55,600
\nJust like zedekiah, their failed
\nKing, who turned out to be <\/p>\n
388
\n00:28:55,600 –> 00:28:58,200
\nwrong.
\nAnd what happened to his eyes? <\/p>\n
389
\n00:28:58,400 –> 00:29:02,200
\nHis eyes got put out by the king
\nof Babylon. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:29:02,200 –> 00:29:06,500
\nOur eyes have yet failed.
\nIt’s an acknowledgement where <\/p>\n
391
\n00:29:06,500 –> 00:29:10,600
\nare exactly the same as king.
\nZedekiah. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:29:11,700 –> 00:29:16,600
\nVerse 17 says, we have watched
\nfor a nation that could not save<\/p>\n
393
\n00:29:16,600 –> 00:29:20,200
\nus.
\nAnd they acknowledge that Egypt <\/p>\n
394
\n00:29:20,200 –> 00:29:23,000
\nwas not the friend that they
\nthought in. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:29:23,000 –> 00:29:26,900
\nJeremiah was, right, because
\nJeremiah had said in Jeremiah <\/p>\n
396
\n00:29:26,900 –> 00:29:32,200
\n30:7 and verse 7, Pharaoh king
\nof Egypt will not help you. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:29:32,300 –> 00:29:36,500
\nHe will return to his own land.
\nIt was words as clear as that, <\/p>\n
398
\n00:29:36,800 –> 00:29:40,600
\nand they had not listened and
\nnow they acknowledge. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:29:40,800 –> 00:29:46,700
\nJeremiah you were, right?
\nIn verse 18, they said at the <\/p>\n
400
\n00:29:46,700 –> 00:29:51,300
\nend is come.
\nNow we saw that phrase come out <\/p>\n
401
\n00:29:51,300 –> 00:29:53,200
\nin our readings.
\nThis morning with brother James <\/p>\n
402
\n00:29:53,200 –> 00:29:58,900
\nfrom Jeremiah chapter 4 but look
\nwhere else it comes from Ezekiel<\/p>\n
403
\n00:29:58,900 –> 00:30:02,700
\nchapter 2 over and over and over
\nand over again. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:30:02,900 –> 00:30:06,300
\nYour end your end has come.
\nThe end is come, the end has <\/p>\n
405
\n00:30:06,300 –> 00:30:10,400
\ncome in Ezekiel, they say now,
\nzekiel, you were right. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:30:11,200 –> 00:30:17,400
\nOur end is come, they say our
\npersecutors are swifter than <\/p>\n
407
\n00:30:17,400 –> 00:30:19,200
\nEagles.
\nWhere does that come from? <\/p>\n
408
\n00:30:19,300 –> 00:30:22,600
\nThat comes from Jeremiah chapter
\n4, and verse 13. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:30:22,700 –> 00:30:27,100
\nWe just read that this morning.
\nThe Babylonians had come and <\/p>\n
410
\n00:30:27,100 –> 00:30:31,200
\nthey were swifter than Eagles,
\nand Jeremiah you were, right? <\/p>\n
411
\n00:30:33,700 –> 00:30:38,100
\nIn verse 20, the anointed of
\nYahweh was taken. <\/p>\n
412
\n00:30:39,300 –> 00:30:42,500
\nIt was an acknowledgement that
\nthey had relied on Josiah too <\/p>\n
413
\n00:30:42,500 –> 00:30:46,600
\nheavily and they never developed
\na personal faith. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:30:46,600 –> 00:30:50,600
\nHe was taken away from them and
\nthey hadn’t listened to his <\/p>\n
415
\n00:30:50,600 –> 00:30:52,700
\nwisdom.
\nThe profits were right, <\/p>\n
416
\n00:30:53,100 –> 00:30:55,300
\neverybody, that warned us was
\nright. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:30:55,300 –> 00:31:00,300
\nAnd we were wrong.
\nThe broken reflections of a <\/p>\n
418
\n00:31:00,300 –> 00:31:07,200
\nbroken people. and so now we
\ncome to chapter 5 and the <\/p>\n
419
\n00:31:07,200 –> 00:31:12,900
\nclosing prayer of the nation.
\nGod has slowly brought them to a<\/p>\n
420
\n00:31:12,900 –> 00:31:16,400
\npoint of reflection
\nacknowledgement of their <\/p>\n
421
\n00:31:16,400 –> 00:31:20,900
\nfailures and now comes the
\nresponse that God has been <\/p>\n
422
\n00:31:20,900 –> 00:31:24,100
\nwaiting for chapter 5 in verse
\n1. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:31:25,000 –> 00:31:34,800
\nRemember o Yahweh what has come
\nupon us consider and behold our <\/p>\n
424
\n00:31:34,800 –> 00:31:38,800
\napproach.
\nRemember this is the word that <\/p>\n
425
\n00:31:38,800 –> 00:31:42,300
\ncame from the lips of the man of
\nchapter 3. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:31:43,500 –> 00:31:48,000
\nAnd now in chapter 5, the people
\nare slowly being changed by his <\/p>\n
427
\n00:31:48,000 –> 00:31:50,900
\nperspective.
\nThis is the change. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:31:51,300 –> 00:31:57,700
\nThis is the nation’s response.
\nIf Lamentations 1 and 2, are the<\/p>\n
429
\n00:31:57,700 –> 00:32:02,700
\nthief on this side who just
\nwallows and self-pity and misery<\/p>\n
430
\n00:32:02,700 –> 00:32:07,300
\nwithout meaning.
\nThe now we come to the nation, <\/p>\n
431
\n00:32:07,600 –> 00:32:11,700
\nthe thief, on this side, who is
\nbeginning to turn, who can look <\/p>\n
432
\n00:32:11,700 –> 00:32:14,100
\nto the man in the middle Christ
\non the cross. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:32:14,200 –> 00:32:18,800
\nAnd see an example of how to
\ndeal with suffering in faith and<\/p>\n
434
\n00:32:18,800 –> 00:32:22,100
\nin trust.
\nAnd now, this nation recognizes <\/p>\n
435
\n00:32:22,100 –> 00:32:23,900
\nthe innocent sea of the man in
\nthe middle. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:32:24,000 –> 00:32:29,000
\nAnd he starts to turn.
\nHe starts to repent, he starts <\/p>\n
437
\n00:32:29,000 –> 00:32:31,500
\nto change.
\nAnd what did that Thief say? <\/p>\n
438
\n00:32:33,200 –> 00:32:39,200
\nRemember me when that comes
\nfirst in thy kingdom, this is <\/p>\n
439
\n00:32:39,200 –> 00:32:44,300
\nthe nation’s response to the man
\nof chapter 3 and look what the <\/p>\n
440
\n00:32:44,300 –> 00:32:48,700
\nnation does.
\nThey remember. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:32:49,800 –> 00:32:56,200
\nThey recall to mind that’s
\nLamentations 3, 19 to 21, they <\/p>\n
442
\n00:32:56,200 –> 00:33:00,500
\nacknowledge, we have sinned, we
\nhave transgressed, that’s <\/p>\n
443
\n00:33:00,500 –> 00:33:06,200
\nLamentations 3 and verse 42.
\nThey talk about God’s steadfast <\/p>\n
444
\n00:33:06,200 –> 00:33:10,700
\nlove and mercy, as which are
\nforever in verse 19. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:33:11,400 –> 00:33:15,200
\nThey say, Yahweh will not cast
\noff forever. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:33:15,400 –> 00:33:20,100
\nIn verse 20, that comes from
\nLamentations 3 in verse, One <\/p>\n
447
\n00:33:20,800 –> 00:33:25,100
\nthey say, yeah, we will not
\nutterly reject us or crush us in<\/p>\n
448
\n00:33:25,100 –> 00:33:28,600
\nverse 22, which we’ll come to in
\na few moments that comes from <\/p>\n
449
\n00:33:28,600 –> 00:33:32,000
\nverses 33 to 34 of Lamentations
\n3. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:33:33,200 –> 00:33:39,200
\nAnd finally, in verse 21, they
\nsay turned our us unto thee o <\/p>\n
451
\n00:33:39,200 –> 00:33:43,200
\nYahweh and we shall be turned
\nthat comes straight out of <\/p>\n
452
\n00:33:43,200 –> 00:33:51,800
\nLamentations 3 and verse 40, let
\nus search and try our ways and <\/p>\n
453
\n00:33:51,800 –> 00:33:58,000
\nturn again unto Yahweh.
\nSo, Lamentations 3 and the man <\/p>\n
454
\n00:33:58,000 –> 00:34:03,700
\nof Affliction has greatly
\ninfluenced now, the nation and <\/p>\n
455
\n00:34:03,700 –> 00:34:07,100
\ntheir response in Lamentations
\nfive. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:34:07,700 –> 00:34:10,699
\nThey complained about their
\nBrews and who could heal them <\/p>\n
457
\n00:34:10,900 –> 00:34:15,600
\nbut now the man who was bruised
\nfor their iniquities, was able <\/p>\n
458
\n00:34:15,600 –> 00:34:18,000
\nto give them that.
\nPerspective. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:34:19,500 –> 00:34:23,400
\nAnd they were responding.
\nYou know, it’s a pretty hard <\/p>\n
460
\n00:34:23,400 –> 00:34:26,300
\nconfession to make.
\nIsn’t it in verse 16? <\/p>\n
461
\n00:34:26,800 –> 00:34:35,199
\nWhen the Nations says, we have
\nsinned And you know that’s the <\/p>\n
462
\n00:34:35,199 –> 00:34:38,600
\npoint of suffering.
\nThat’s the point that God wants <\/p>\n
463
\n00:34:38,600 –> 00:34:42,300
\nto bring all of us to finally
\nthe nation gets there in chapter<\/p>\n
464
\n00:34:42,300 –> 00:34:46,900
\n5 and verse 16, they acknowledge
\ntheir sin but look brothers and <\/p>\n
465
\n00:34:46,900 –> 00:34:49,699
\nsisters how it is dragged out of
\nthem. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:34:50,600 –> 00:34:57,200
\nLook at chapter 4 in verse 7.
\nWell, we’re prepared to admit <\/p>\n
467
\n00:34:57,200 –> 00:35:05,200
\nthat maybe we’re not quite as
\npure as the driven snow. 4:13, <\/p>\n
468
\n00:35:05,400 –> 00:35:10,300
\nwell, maybe the prophets and the
\npriests might have sinned. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:35:12,000 –> 00:35:16,500
\nChapter 4 verse 17 to 20.
\nWell we could have been more <\/p>\n
470
\n00:35:16,500 –> 00:35:24,200
\nfaithful, Preps. 5:7 well, our
\nfathers certainly sinned and we <\/p>\n
471
\n00:35:24,200 –> 00:35:27,800
\nare suffering because of them
\nuntil finally. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:35:28,500 –> 00:35:37,500
\nIt is rung out of them and 5:16
\nWoe unto us that we have sinned <\/p>\n
473
\n00:35:37,500 –> 00:35:41,700
\nat last there is total
\nAcceptance in ownership of their<\/p>\n
474
\n00:35:41,700 –> 00:35:44,000
\nsin.
\nAnd even verse 7 was just a <\/p>\n
475
\n00:35:44,000 –> 00:35:46,500
\npartial acceptance of
\nresponsibility. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:35:47,400 –> 00:35:52,200
\nIt took God’s judgments.
\nIt took his punishments, it took<\/p>\n
477
\n00:35:52,200 –> 00:35:56,200
\nknocking the crown clean off the
\nheat of the princess verse 16 <\/p>\n
478
\n00:35:56,200 –> 00:35:59,900
\nfor her to realize.
\nI have sinned I am guilty. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:36:00,000 –> 00:36:05,900
\nGod only is righteous and in the
\nlast A few verses of, the final <\/p>\n
480
\n00:36:05,900 –> 00:36:10,600
\nprayer of the book and only
\ntheir does God get the nation to<\/p>\n
481
\n00:36:10,600 –> 00:36:16,700
\nwhere he needs them to be.
\nWe can see the progress that <\/p>\n
482
\n00:36:16,700 –> 00:36:21,500
\nthey have made.
\nLook at Verse 18, but read with <\/p>\n
483
\n00:36:21,500 –> 00:36:27,000
\nme from verse 17, For this, our
\nheart is faint. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:36:27,500 –> 00:36:34,800
\nFor these things, our eyes are
\ndim because Of the Mountain of <\/p>\n
485
\n00:36:34,800 –> 00:36:41,200
\nZion, which is desolate.
\nThe foxes walk upon it. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:36:42,300 –> 00:36:45,600
\nDo you know that the word
\ndesolate is a keyword in <\/p>\n
487
\n00:36:45,600 –> 00:36:51,900
\nLamentations but look at the
\nprogress of this nation They <\/p>\n
488
\n00:36:51,900 –> 00:36:58,500
\nstart out in chapter 1 and verse
\nfor all her gates are desolate. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:36:58,800 –> 00:37:03,000
\nThe city is desolate.
\nBy the time we come to chapter 1<\/p>\n
490
\n00:37:03,000 –> 00:37:06,800
\nverse 13.
\nHe has made me desolate. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:37:06,900 –> 00:37:10,500
\nI am desolate.
\nBy the time we come to chapter 1<\/p>\n
492
\n00:37:10,500 –> 00:37:18,000
\nverse 16.
\nMy children are desolate. 4:5. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:37:18,700 –> 00:37:23,000
\nThe people are desolate.
\nThey that did feed delicately <\/p>\n
494
\n00:37:23,000 –> 00:37:27,300
\nare desolate until finally.
\nIn chapter 5, we find that the <\/p>\n
495
\n00:37:27,300 –> 00:37:33,200
\nmountain of Zion is desolate.
\nGod, and His Mountain are <\/p>\n
496
\n00:37:33,200 –> 00:37:35,700
\ndesolate.
\nAnd the people start to think <\/p>\n
497
\n00:37:35,700 –> 00:37:38,700
\nabout something other than their
\nown misery. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:37:38,700 –> 00:37:44,200
\nHow does God feel With his
\ninheritance turned over to <\/p>\n
499
\n00:37:44,200 –> 00:37:48,900
\nstrangers verse 2.
\nHow does God feel with his own <\/p>\n
500
\n00:37:48,900 –> 00:37:51,800
\nchildren did or abandoned verse
\n3? <\/p>\n
501
\n00:37:52,500 –> 00:37:55,800
\nHow does God feel when his
\npeople are paying money for the <\/p>\n
502
\n00:37:55,800 –> 00:37:59,400
\nWater of Life?
\nVerse 4, that he had given them <\/p>\n
503
\n00:37:59,400 –> 00:38:03,900
\nwithout price.
\nI mean Jeremiah had said to the <\/p>\n
504
\n00:38:03,900 –> 00:38:09,400
\npeople and 2:13 and chapter 17
\nand verse 8 that God himself was<\/p>\n
505
\n00:38:09,400 –> 00:38:12,300
\nthe Fountain of Living Waters
\nand now they’re paying for <\/p>\n
506
\n00:38:12,300 –> 00:38:15,200
\nwater.
\nHow does that make God feel? <\/p>\n
507
\n00:38:16,200 –> 00:38:20,700
\nHow does God feel in verse 18
\nthat the foxes unclean <\/p>\n
508
\n00:38:20,700 –> 00:38:26,400
\nscavengers are prowling over his
\nHoly Hill in the attention of <\/p>\n
509
\n00:38:26,400 –> 00:38:30,100
\nthe people suddenly turns, to
\nGod. <\/p>\n
510
\n00:38:31,900 –> 00:38:34,500
\nHow does God feel about all this
\ndesolation? <\/p>\n
511
\n00:38:35,300 –> 00:38:40,800
\nI mean, up until now it’s just
\nbeen about me but now How does <\/p>\n
512
\n00:38:40,800 –> 00:38:43,900
\nGod feel about his temple in
\nRuins? <\/p>\n
513
\n00:38:44,300 –> 00:38:47,800
\nHow does God feel about his
\npeople carted off into <\/p>\n
514
\n00:38:47,800 –> 00:38:54,000
\ncaptivity?
\nLook at verse 19, thou o, Yahweh<\/p>\n
515
\n00:38:54,200 –> 00:38:58,200
\nremain us forever.
\nThy Throne from generation to <\/p>\n
516
\n00:38:58,200 –> 00:39:00,400
\ngeneration.
\nThis is another sign of <\/p>\n
517
\n00:39:00,400 –> 00:39:04,200
\nprogress.
\nIf we saw that the word desolate<\/p>\n
518
\n00:39:04,200 –> 00:39:08,200
\nwas able to take us through a
\nprogression of thought, from <\/p>\n
519
\n00:39:08,200 –> 00:39:13,200
\njust being totally self-consumed
\nto finally realizing that Yahweh<\/p>\n
520
\n00:39:13,200 –> 00:39:17,000
\nwas desolated by what Babylon
\nhad done. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:39:17,300 –> 00:39:20,400
\nThen what about this idea of his
\nsanctuary. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:39:22,100 –> 00:39:26,000
\nIn chapter 1 and verse 10.
\nThe Heathen have entered into <\/p>\n
523
\n00:39:26,000 –> 00:39:29,000
\nher Sanctuary.
\nThere was disbelief at the <\/p>\n
524
\n00:39:29,000 –> 00:39:35,700
\ndesecration Then in Chapter 2,
\nthere’s a realization that he <\/p>\n
525
\n00:39:35,700 –> 00:39:38,900
\nhas abhorred.
\nHis Century there was confusion <\/p>\n
526
\n00:39:39,100 –> 00:39:43,000
\nthat God could allow this.
\nHow did how could God do this to<\/p>\n
527
\n00:39:43,000 –> 00:39:47,400
\nhis Sanctuary?
\nThen in chapter 3, there’s an <\/p>\n
528
\n00:39:47,400 –> 00:39:52,000
\nacknowledgement that we ought to
\nlift up our hands to God, who <\/p>\n
529
\n00:39:52,000 –> 00:39:56,900
\ndwells in the heavens?
\nA realization that God dwells <\/p>\n
530
\n00:39:56,900 –> 00:40:00,700
\nnot in buildings made with hands
\nin chapter 4. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:40:00,700 –> 00:40:05,600
\nIn verse 1, the stones of the
\ncentury are poured out the <\/p>\n
532
\n00:40:05,600 –> 00:40:10,000
\ndestruction, they realize, it
\nmust have been God’s will. <\/p>\n
533
\n00:40:11,200 –> 00:40:17,600
\nBut now in chapter 5 and verse
\n19, they realize that actually <\/p>\n
534
\n00:40:17,600 –> 00:40:20,300
\nGod’s Sanctuary could never be
\ndestroyed. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:40:21,300 –> 00:40:23,900
\nEven though Jerusalem lay in
\nsmoldering ruins. <\/p>\n
536
\n00:40:24,600 –> 00:40:29,300
\nThere was now a realization, a
\nrecognition that Yahweh still <\/p>\n
537
\n00:40:29,300 –> 00:40:33,000
\nset in throned in his real
\nsanctuary in the heavens just as<\/p>\n
538
\n00:40:33,000 –> 00:40:37,400
\nhe did before.
\nRoll the rooms, has their own <\/p>\n
539
\n00:40:37,400 –> 00:40:42,300
\nYahweh and two times age,
\nabiding dust remain. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:40:42,400 –> 00:40:46,100
\nAnd it was suddenly brought home
\nto them, how finite their minds <\/p>\n
541
\n00:40:46,100 –> 00:40:55,700
\nwere They were devastated about
\ntheir homes, this city, this <\/p>\n
542
\n00:40:55,700 –> 00:41:00,200
\nshort lives.
\nThey’re man-made Temple, but <\/p>\n
543
\n00:41:00,200 –> 00:41:04,500
\nYahweh rained, and throned in
\nthe heavens unfettered by time, <\/p>\n
544
\n00:41:04,800 –> 00:41:08,100
\nor place.
\nAnd it lasts in the final words <\/p>\n
545
\n00:41:08,100 –> 00:41:12,500
\nof the book.
\nGod sees his children, turn the <\/p>\n
546
\n00:41:12,500 –> 00:41:18,000
\nwhole purpose of our Affliction
\nis to make us turn 3:40 and now <\/p>\n
547
\n00:41:18,400 –> 00:41:20,600
\nthey do.
\nVerse 21. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:41:21,800 –> 00:41:26,500
\nTurned out us unto thee, o
\nYahweh, and we shall be turned <\/p>\n
549
\n00:41:26,800 –> 00:41:32,700
\nrenew our days as of old, but
\nthou Hast utterly rejected us, <\/p>\n
550
\n00:41:33,200 –> 00:41:38,900
\nThou Art very rough against us.
\nNow, you may know that verse 22 <\/p>\n
551
\n00:41:38,900 –> 00:41:41,500
\nshould really be rendered as a
\nquestion. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:41:42,000 –> 00:41:46,700
\nIt is not a statement that God
\nhad utterly rejected them, but <\/p>\n
553
\n00:41:46,700 –> 00:41:50,600
\nit should be like the margins
\nsays for wilt. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:41:50,600 –> 00:41:55,400
\nThou Actually reject us, aren’t
\nthere? <\/p>\n
555
\n00:41:56,000 –> 00:42:02,700
\nStill very rough against us?
\nThe ESV has unless you have <\/p>\n
556
\n00:42:02,700 –> 00:42:06,300
\nutterly rejected us and you
\nremain exceedingly angry with <\/p>\n
557
\n00:42:06,300 –> 00:42:09,300
\nus.
\nIt’s a rhetorical question and <\/p>\n
558
\n00:42:09,300 –> 00:42:12,500
\nwe already know the answer to
\nthat. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:42:12,500 –> 00:42:15,200
\nQuestion.
\nFrom Lamentations chapter 3 and <\/p>\n
560
\n00:42:15,200 –> 00:42:19,300
\nverse 31.
\nHe will not cast off forever. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:42:20,500 –> 00:42:24,700
\nHis character abundant and
\ngoodness and compassion. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:42:25,000 –> 00:42:27,800
\nAnd faithfulness means that he
\ncould never do that. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:42:27,900 –> 00:42:29,800
\nNot to people who turn back to
\nhim. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:42:30,600 –> 00:42:36,000
\nAnd now, God has the response
\nthat he’s been waiting for, from<\/p>\n
565
\n00:42:36,000 –> 00:42:39,300
\nthe nation in the same response
\nthat he waits for each of us, <\/p>\n
566
\n00:42:40,100 –> 00:42:47,400
\nweights from from each of us in
\nverse 21. turn their us unto <\/p>\n
567
\n00:42:47,400 –> 00:42:53,700
\nthee, o Yahweh and we shall be
\nturned Rotherham is has bring us<\/p>\n
568
\n00:42:53,700 –> 00:42:56,600
\nback.
\nOh Yahweh unto thyself and we <\/p>\n
569
\n00:42:56,600 –> 00:42:59,900
\nwill come back at last.
\nThere is true. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:42:59,900 –> 00:43:02,100
\nRepentance.
\nTrue. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:43:02,100 –> 00:43:06,100
\nHumility.
\nA recognition that if the <\/p>\n
572
\n00:43:06,100 –> 00:43:11,500
\npunishment all came from God,
\nthen forgiveness and healing and<\/p>\n
573
\n00:43:11,500 –> 00:43:14,300
\nrestoration must come from him
\nas well. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:43:15,600 –> 00:43:16,800
\nAnd, you know, brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:43:16,800 –> 00:43:23,200
\nThe most amazing thing is that
\nthe people in verse 21 actually <\/p>\n
576
\n00:43:23,200 –> 00:43:31,500
\nquote, do you know who Jeremiah
\nhimself because Jeremiah are <\/p>\n
577
\n00:43:31,500 –> 00:43:38,800
\nverse 21 is a quotation of
\nJeremiah 31 in verses 18 to 19. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:43:38,900 –> 00:43:43,100
\nIt’s almost as if they salute
\nthe prophet who had brought them<\/p>\n
579
\n00:43:43,300 –> 00:43:46,100
\nslowly.
\nBut inevitably to this <\/p>\n
580
\n00:43:46,200 –> 00:43:50,500
\nunderstanding it’s a mark of
\nrespect for the prophet who had <\/p>\n
581
\n00:43:50,500 –> 00:43:56,100
\nwillingly suffered everything
\nthey had but he’d been right all<\/p>\n
582
\n00:43:56,100 –> 00:43:57,900
\nalong.
\nJust come back. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:43:57,900 –> 00:44:01,300
\nIf you will to the Jeremiah 31
\nbecause it’s just read those <\/p>\n
584
\n00:44:01,300 –> 00:44:04,700
\nverses together and see how
\nwonderfully the nation pays. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:44:04,700 –> 00:44:11,900
\nHomage to Jeremiah Jeremiah 31.
\nAnd verse 18. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:44:17,700 –> 00:44:21,200
\nThese are God’s words out of the
\nmouth of Jeremiah the prophet. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:44:22,200 –> 00:44:26,800
\nI have surely heard a frame
\nbemoaning himself, thus thou <\/p>\n
588
\n00:44:26,800 –> 00:44:30,300
\nHast chastise me and I was
\nchastised as a bullock <\/p>\n
589
\n00:44:30,400 –> 00:44:36,300
\nunaccustomed to the yolk.
\nTurn thou me and I shall be <\/p>\n
590
\n00:44:36,300 –> 00:44:42,600
\nturned for thou art, Yahweh, my
\nGod shortly after that I was <\/p>\n
591
\n00:44:42,600 –> 00:44:45,500
\nturned I repented.
\nAnd after that, I was <\/p>\n
592
\n00:44:45,500 –> 00:44:47,600
\ninstructed, I smote upon my
\nthigh. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:44:47,900 –> 00:44:50,800
\nI was ashamed.
\nYeah, even confounded because I <\/p>\n
594
\n00:44:50,808 –> 00:44:54,700
\ndid Bear the Roach of my youth
\nis Ephraim. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:44:54,700 –> 00:44:59,200
\nMy dear son.
\nIs he a pleasant child for since<\/p>\n
596
\n00:44:59,200 –> 00:45:01,600
\nI speak against him?
\nI do earnestly. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:45:01,600 –> 00:45:05,800
\nRemember him still there for my
\nbowels are troubled for him and <\/p>\n
598
\n00:45:05,800 –> 00:45:08,500
\nwill surely have mercy upon Him
\nsaith. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:45:08,600 –> 00:45:16,800
\nYahweh, Set the up waymarks.
\nMake the high heaps sit by heart<\/p>\n
600
\n00:45:16,800 –> 00:45:20,900
\ntoward the highway, even the way
\nwhich thou wentest turn again. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:45:20,900 –> 00:45:27,000
\nOh, Virgin of Israel turn again
\nto these dice cities. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:45:28,300 –> 00:45:33,000
\nAnd now the nation is going to
\ndirectly quote from Jeremiah’s <\/p>\n
603
\n00:45:33,000 –> 00:45:37,700
\nwords because Jeremiah had
\nprophesied of Destruction and <\/p>\n
604
\n00:45:37,700 –> 00:45:42,800
\nmisery into ruins.
\nBut he also promised the <\/p>\n
605
\n00:45:42,800 –> 00:45:45,500
\nfeelings of God for his own
\nchildren. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:45:46,200 –> 00:45:50,400
\nHe promised healing and life and
\nblessings. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:45:50,500 –> 00:45:53,800
\nGod was not only the cause of
\ntheir punishment, but the <\/p>\n
608
\n00:45:53,800 –> 00:45:59,700
\nsolution to all of their woes,
\nThe purification and purging <\/p>\n
609
\n00:45:59,700 –> 00:46:05,600
\nprocess of Affliction has a
\npurpose to restore to show Mercy<\/p>\n
610
\n00:46:06,000 –> 00:46:11,700
\nto build again.
\nIt’s vain to lament the past if <\/p>\n
611
\n00:46:11,700 –> 00:46:15,600
\nour grief and soul-searching
\ndoes not make the future better <\/p>\n
612
\n00:46:15,800 –> 00:46:20,500
\nand God had promised a reversal
\nof all of the destruction and <\/p>\n
613
\n00:46:20,500 –> 00:46:25,000
\nmisery a reversal of all of the
\npain and horror of Lamentations <\/p>\n
614
\n00:46:25,200 –> 00:46:29,600
\nin Jeremiah chapter 31 is going
\nto outline God’s solution for <\/p>\n
615
\n00:46:29,600 –> 00:46:32,700
\nhis people.
\nIf they turn just come back over<\/p>\n
616
\n00:46:32,700 –> 00:46:37,300
\nthe page and read with me what
\nGod had already promised. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:46:38,000 –> 00:46:43,000
\nAnd see if you can hear Echoes
\nof Lamentations verse 10. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:46:43,700 –> 00:46:48,200
\nHear the word of Yahweh.
\nOh ye nations declare it in the <\/p>\n
619
\n00:46:48,200 –> 00:46:53,900
\naisles, afar off and say he that
\nscattered him. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:46:54,500 –> 00:46:58,100
\nIsrael will gather him and keep
\nhim as a Shepherd. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:46:58,100 –> 00:47:01,000
\nDuff is flock for Yahweh.
\nHath redeemed. <\/p>\n
622
\n00:47:01,000 –> 00:47:04,000
\nJacob, rent some time from the
\nhand of him that was stronger <\/p>\n
623
\n00:47:04,000 –> 00:47:06,800
\nthan he.
\nTherefore they shall come and <\/p>\n
624
\n00:47:06,800 –> 00:47:11,700
\nsing in the height of Zion shall
\nflow together to the goodness of<\/p>\n
625
\n00:47:11,700 –> 00:47:15,900
\nYahweh for wheat and for wine,
\nand for oil for the young of the<\/p>\n
626
\n00:47:15,900 –> 00:47:19,500
\nflock and of the herd, their
\nsoul shall be as a watered <\/p>\n
627
\n00:47:19,500 –> 00:47:22,100
\nGarden.
\nThey shall not so anymore at <\/p>\n
628
\n00:47:22,100 –> 00:47:24,900
\nall.
\nThen, shall the Virgin rejoice <\/p>\n
629
\n00:47:24,900 –> 00:47:27,700
\nin the dance?
\nBoth young men and old together <\/p>\n
630
\n00:47:27,800 –> 00:47:32,700
\nfor I will turn their mourning
\ninto joy and Will Comfort them, <\/p>\n
631
\n00:47:32,800 –> 00:47:35,100
\nand make them Rejoice from their
\nsorrow. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:47:35,300 –> 00:47:37,700
\nI will satiate the soul of the
\npriests with fatness. <\/p>\n
633
\n00:47:37,800 –> 00:47:42,400
\nIt’s my people shall be
\nsatisfied with my goodness. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:47:42,700 –> 00:47:43,800
\nSaith.
\nYahweh. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:47:44,800 –> 00:47:49,100
\nThus says, Yahweh a voice was
\nheard in Ramah lamentation, <\/p>\n
636
\n00:47:50,300 –> 00:47:55,400
\nbitter weeping Rachel weeping
\nfor her children refused to be <\/p>\n
637
\n00:47:55,400 –> 00:47:57,800
\ncomforted for her children
\nbecause they were not thus <\/p>\n
638
\n00:47:57,800 –> 00:48:00,500
\nsaith.
\nYahweh refrain thy voice from <\/p>\n
639
\n00:48:00,500 –> 00:48:03,000
\nweeping.
\nDon’t eyes from tears. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:48:03,400 –> 00:48:07,200
\nFor they work shall be rewarded,
\nsaith, Yahweh, and they shall <\/p>\n
641
\n00:48:07,200 –> 00:48:14,300
\ncome again from the land of the
\nenemy, and there is hope in <\/p>\n
642
\n00:48:14,300 –> 00:48:17,100
\nthose.
\nLine in saith, Yahweh and thy <\/p>\n
643
\n00:48:17,100 –> 00:48:21,800
\nchildren shall come again to
\ntheir own border. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:48:21,900 –> 00:48:27,600
\nThat’s the immediate context.
\nOf the nation’s quotation of <\/p>\n
645
\n00:48:27,600 –> 00:48:31,000
\nI’ve Jeremiah’s words in verse
\n18. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:48:31,200 –> 00:48:36,200
\nGod already had the solution to
\nall their pain to all their hurt<\/p>\n
647
\n00:48:36,600 –> 00:48:41,800
\nto all their suffering.
\nThere is hope in the end, he’s <\/p>\n
648
\n00:48:41,800 –> 00:48:45,300
\noutlined the solution before
\nthey even encountered the <\/p>\n
649
\n00:48:45,300 –> 00:48:49,800
\nproblem.
\nBecause you see brothers and <\/p>\n
650
\n00:48:49,800 –> 00:48:57,900
\nsisters Lamentations is not just
\nlimited to 586 BC and the <\/p>\n
651
\n00:48:57,900 –> 00:49:02,100
\nsufferings of one generation.
\nIt’s not a story that’s just <\/p>\n
652
\n00:49:02,100 –> 00:49:05,600
\nlimited to Jeremiah’s time.
\nThis is a story that will be <\/p>\n
653
\n00:49:05,600 –> 00:49:10,300
\nrepeated by the nation time and
\ntime again as they make the same<\/p>\n
654
\n00:49:10,300 –> 00:49:15,000
\nmistakes and learn the same
\nlessons over and over again. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:49:15,200 –> 00:49:18,200
\nThat’s why it’s recorded for us
\nbecause we make the same <\/p>\n
656
\n00:49:18,200 –> 00:49:25,800
\nmistakes. and we are able to
\nlearn the same lessons, you <\/p>\n
657
\n00:49:25,800 –> 00:49:32,600
\nknow, back in Lamentations, in
\nchapter 4, in verse 13. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:49:34,000 –> 00:49:39,800
\nWe read these words.
\nFor the sins of her prophets and<\/p>\n
659
\n00:49:39,800 –> 00:49:45,000
\nthe iniquities of her priests.
\nThey have shed the blood of the <\/p>\n
660
\n00:49:45,000 –> 00:49:51,700
\njust in the midst of her.
\nAnd whilst that was true of all <\/p>\n
661
\n00:49:51,700 –> 00:49:56,600
\nof the profits and it was almost
\ntrue of Jeremiah, he almost had <\/p>\n
662
\n00:49:56,600 –> 00:50:00,000
\nhis blood shed in the middle of
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
663
\n00:50:01,300 –> 00:50:07,400
\nThe blood of the just in the
\nultimate sinks was our Lord <\/p>\n
664
\n00:50:07,400 –> 00:50:13,400
\nJesus Christ.
\nIn Christ reaches back through <\/p>\n
665
\n00:50:13,400 –> 00:50:17,800
\nthe centuries to allude to the
\nbook of Lamentations again and <\/p>\n
666
\n00:50:17,800 –> 00:50:23,700
\nagain and again in his final
\ndays as he could see the nation <\/p>\n
667
\n00:50:23,700 –> 00:50:27,200
\non the brink of 80 70 and the
\ndestruction of another <\/p>\n
668
\n00:50:27,200 –> 00:50:32,200
\ngeneration and another Temple.
\nThis time just by different <\/p>\n
669
\n00:50:32,200 –> 00:50:36,400
\nenemies but all for the same
\nreasons and our Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
670
\n00:50:36,400 –> 00:50:41,800
\nChrist is going to allude to
\nLamentations in his lament over <\/p>\n
671
\n00:50:41,800 –> 00:50:45,800
\nthe city.
\nO Jerusalem Jerusalem, you have <\/p>\n
672
\n00:50:45,800 –> 00:50:50,200
\nshed the blood of the just your
\nhouse will be left unto you <\/p>\n
673
\n00:50:50,200 –> 00:50:53,900
\ndesolate.
\nThe stones will be poured out, <\/p>\n
674
\n00:50:53,900 –> 00:50:58,900
\ntaken down one by one.
\nThe enemy is going to stand <\/p>\n
675
\n00:50:58,900 –> 00:51:02,200
\nwhere they ought not.
\nPeople are going to Marvel that <\/p>\n
676
\n00:51:02,200 –> 00:51:06,100
\nthe Romans even got into God’s
\nholy place. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:51:07,000 –> 00:51:10,800
\nHe wept over Jerusalem, your
\nchildren will be lying on the <\/p>\n
678
\n00:51:10,800 –> 00:51:13,900
\nground.
\nWoe unto them, that give suck. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:51:14,200 –> 00:51:16,600
\nThey’ll be distressed and wrath
\nupon the people. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:51:16,900 –> 00:51:20,300
\nHe gives an exhortation to the
\ndaughters of Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:51:20,300 –> 00:51:23,700
\nA phrase taken straight out of
\nLamentations chapter 2. <\/p>\n
682
\n00:51:24,100 –> 00:51:28,000
\nTheir punishment would be
\ngreater than Sodom and if <\/p>\n
683
\n00:51:28,200 –> 00:51:33,100
\nLamentations 2 and verse 12
\nasked, where is corn and wine? <\/p>\n
684
\n00:51:34,600 –> 00:51:38,400
\nWe don’t need to wonder do we
\nfor the reason why our Lord <\/p>\n
685
\n00:51:38,400 –> 00:51:43,200
\nJesus Christ took bread.
\nAnd took the cup. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:51:44,800 –> 00:51:49,800
\nThese were symbols from the
\nbeginning of time to demonstrate<\/p>\n
687
\n00:51:50,200 –> 00:51:53,300
\nthe presence of God amongst his
\npeople. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:51:54,600 –> 00:51:58,200
\nAnd before he left, he wanted to
\nleave them with those tokens <\/p>\n
689
\n00:51:58,900 –> 00:52:01,500
\nbefore.
\nThe horrific destruction of the <\/p>\n
690
\n00:52:01,500 –> 00:52:03,300
\nRoman swept down upon the
\npeople. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:52:03,300 –> 00:52:07,500
\nAnd the same thing happened to
\nthe nation again, he knew it was<\/p>\n
692
\n00:52:07,500 –> 00:52:11,500
\nhappening all over again.
\nYou see the book of Lamentations<\/p>\n
693
\n00:52:11,700 –> 00:52:16,300
\nis for all times?
\nIt speaks of the universal <\/p>\n
694
\n00:52:16,300 –> 00:52:21,200
\nexperience of Affliction and
\nit’s universal meaning. <\/p>\n
695
\n00:52:23,000 –> 00:52:28,600
\nAnd while at the Dreadful events
\nof Jeremiah’s time Babylon, was <\/p>\n
696
\n00:52:28,600 –> 00:52:33,400
\nin the ascendancy.
\nAnd Israel was subjugated on the<\/p>\n
697
\n00:52:33,400 –> 00:52:38,500
\ndecline.
\nGod’s plans for the future are <\/p>\n
698
\n00:52:38,500 –> 00:52:43,200
\nentirely the opposite, he can
\nreverse their Fortunes in a <\/p>\n
699
\n00:52:43,207 –> 00:52:47,700
\nmoment of time and he will do
\njust that for Babylon because <\/p>\n
700
\n00:52:47,700 –> 00:52:53,800
\njust as Israel didn’t turn to
\nhim in Christ stay and they <\/p>\n
701
\n00:52:53,800 –> 00:52:58,300
\nsuffered the same fate as
\nJeremiah’s people because <\/p>\n
702
\n00:52:58,300 –> 00:53:03,600
\nBabylon has not recognize God.
\nIt will be their turn to drink <\/p>\n
703
\n00:53:03,800 –> 00:53:08,500
\nfrom yahweh’s cup.
\nLook how the the Dreadful terms <\/p>\n
704
\n00:53:08,500 –> 00:53:12,600
\nof Lamentations are going to
\noccur and pop up in Revelation <\/p>\n
705
\n00:53:12,600 –> 00:53:16,700
\nas God’s.
\nJudgments are poured out upon <\/p>\n
706
\n00:53:17,200 –> 00:53:21,200
\nthe very power, that desecrated
\nthe temple. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:53:21,200 –> 00:53:28,600
\nIn Jeremiah’s time, we have a
\nwoman, an adulterer one clothed <\/p>\n
708
\n00:53:28,600 –> 00:53:33,200
\nin fine Scarlet.
\nShe was drunk with Innocent <\/p>\n
709
\n00:53:33,200 –> 00:53:37,100
\nblood as we just read the blood
\nof the, of the just as poured <\/p>\n
710
\n00:53:37,100 –> 00:53:41,400
\nout in her streets.
\nShe was once a great City, but <\/p>\n
711
\n00:53:41,400 –> 00:53:44,500
\nnow, has she Fallen?
\nShe’s become a dwelling place <\/p>\n
712
\n00:53:44,500 –> 00:53:50,300
\nfor beasts once a proud Queen.
\nOnce known for Delicacies. <\/p>\n
713
\n00:53:50,700 –> 00:53:56,200
\nNow, desolate sitting on the
\nground in sackcloth and Ashes. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:53:56,200 –> 00:54:01,600
\nLemon tation made for it in.
\nJeremiah 51 is going to say, how<\/p>\n
715
\n00:54:01,900 –> 00:54:05,900
\nis she shek taken?
\nHow is Babylon become in <\/p>\n
716
\n00:54:05,900 –> 00:54:11,000
\nastonishment among the Nations
\nand Babylon will receive the <\/p>\n
717
\n00:54:11,000 –> 00:54:15,100
\nsame fate as Judah.
\nIf Judah was no better than <\/p>\n
718
\n00:54:15,100 –> 00:54:19,700
\nBabylon, then Babylon was no
\nworse than Judah. <\/p>\n
719
\n00:54:21,200 –> 00:54:25,100
\nAnd the lesson of This Book of
\nLamentations is about Universal <\/p>\n
720
\n00:54:25,100 –> 00:54:32,200
\nsuffering, Universal sin,
\nUniversal repentance and seeking<\/p>\n
721
\n00:54:32,200 –> 00:54:35,500
\nfor meaning, turning to God.
\nIf we don’t learn the lessons of<\/p>\n
722
\n00:54:35,500 –> 00:54:38,900
\nthis book, these people, the
\nlessons of the past. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:54:39,300 –> 00:54:42,200
\nWe will be doomed to repeat
\ntheir mistakes. <\/p>\n
724
\n00:54:43,300 –> 00:54:47,600
\nSo where do we stand brothers
\nand sisters, is we look at the <\/p>\n
725
\n00:54:47,600 –> 00:54:50,200
\nparable of the book of
\nLamentations. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:54:51,300 –> 00:54:55,000
\nWhere are we?
\nIn this story we did we find <\/p>\n
727
\n00:54:55,000 –> 00:55:02,000
\nourselves in 2021.
\nBut we have the example in the <\/p>\n
728
\n00:55:02,000 –> 00:55:06,400
\nmiddle of the book.
\nThe man of Lamentations 3, the <\/p>\n
729
\n00:55:06,400 –> 00:55:10,800
\nman who has seen Affliction
\ndespite his innocence. <\/p>\n
730
\n00:55:11,400 –> 00:55:15,800
\nBut who offers meaning and hope
\nin the choice for all of us is <\/p>\n
731
\n00:55:16,800 –> 00:55:21,600
\nwhich way will we go?
\nWill we be part of an <\/p>\n
732
\n00:55:21,700 –> 00:55:27,500
\nunrepentant Community Afflicted
\nbecause of sinfulness engulfed <\/p>\n
733
\n00:55:27,500 –> 00:55:30,900
\nby grief without meaning
\nchapters one and two? <\/p>\n
734
\n00:55:32,300 –> 00:55:36,300
\nOr will we respond to this man
\nin the middle? <\/p>\n
735
\n00:55:37,100 –> 00:55:43,600
\nThis man who was able to inspire
\na faithful Community to rely on.<\/p>\n
736
\n00:55:43,600 –> 00:55:48,600
\nGod and to wait, patiently for
\nhim, we’re going to be The <\/p>\n
737
\n00:55:48,600 –> 00:55:52,700
\nAfflicted Daughter of Zion.
\nOr are we going to be the <\/p>\n
738
\n00:55:52,700 –> 00:55:59,300
\nprecious sons of Zion?
\nWe stand on the edge of Israel <\/p>\n
739
\n00:55:59,300 –> 00:56:02,800
\nin the ascendancy and Babylon on
\nClimb. <\/p>\n
740
\n00:56:03,900 –> 00:56:10,200
\nWe are all waiting for yahushua.
\nYahweh is salvation and we’re <\/p>\n
741
\n00:56:10,200 –> 00:56:16,200
\ndoing what Lamentations 3 us us
\nto do both hope in quietly. <\/p>\n
742
\n00:56:16,200 –> 00:56:19,600
\nWait for him.
\nTodd sometimes, isn’t it <\/p>\n
743
\n00:56:19,600 –> 00:56:28,800
\nbrothers and sisters to wait.
\nQuietly for him let’s try to see<\/p>\n
744
\n00:56:28,800 –> 00:56:34,300
\nmeaning in our minor miseries to
\nsee hope Beyond life’s troubles <\/p>\n
745
\n00:56:34,600 –> 00:56:37,800
\nto realize that nothing happens
\nby accident in God’s <\/p>\n
746
\n00:56:37,800 –> 00:56:41,700
\narrangements and that whatever
\nhappens to us, it’s his love, <\/p>\n
747
\n00:56:42,600 –> 00:56:46,700
\nit’s his care.
\nIt’s his patients without an <\/p>\n
748
\n00:56:46,700 –> 00:56:50,800
\nability to learn.
\nIt’s his steadfast Relentless <\/p>\n
749
\n00:56:50,800 –> 00:56:54,900
\nlove to conform us.
\nUs to the image of his son. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:56:55,000 –> 00:56:56,900
\nHowever, hard.
\nThat might feel. <\/p>\n
751
\n00:56:58,600 –> 00:57:05,100
\nThat when his son comes to raise
\nZions smoldering walls to <\/p>\n
752
\n00:57:05,100 –> 00:57:09,100
\nrestore, Israel’s Kings and
\nPriests to make Jerusalem, a <\/p>\n
753
\n00:57:09,100 –> 00:57:13,400
\npraise again in the earth that
\nwe can welcome him with open <\/p>\n
754
\n00:57:13,400 –> 00:57:17,100
\narms, brother and sisters.
\nThat we know that man. <\/p>\n
755
\n00:57:18,200 –> 00:57:21,100
\nThat we love him for what he has
\ndone for us. <\/p>\n
756
\n00:57:21,700 –> 00:57:27,500
\nHe intimately new affliction.
\nBut now he doesn’t come as the <\/p>\n
757
\n00:57:27,500 –> 00:57:32,200
\nman who knew Affliction, he’s
\ngoing to come as the king of the<\/p>\n
758
\n00:57:32,200 –> 00:57:36,700
\nworld.
\nThe inspiration of all those who<\/p>\n
759
\n00:57:36,700 –> 00:57:41,500
\naspire to be, Zions precious
\nSons and Daughters. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:57:41,800 –> 00:57:45,100
\nLet us brothers and sisters in
\nyoung people try to take <\/p>\n
761
\n00:57:45,200 –> 00:57:50,900
\nLamentations into our own hearts
\nand Minds to turn to turn back <\/p>\n
762
\n00:57:50,900 –> 00:57:54,200
\nto him to be changed by his
\nperspective. <\/p>\n
763
