\nWelcome to Good Burger selfie
\nand talks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:19,300
\nI’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
\nBrian, thank you for joining us <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:19,300 –> 00:00:21,900
\nthis week.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

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

5
\n00:00:26,500 –> 00:00:29,300
\nWe post a new episode of the
\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n

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

7
\n00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:33,600
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n

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

9
\n00:00:50,700 –> 00:00:53,000
\nWelcome to the good
\nchristadelphians talks podcast. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:53,400 –> 00:00:57,100
\nThis is brother Brian.
\nThis week’s talk is a class from<\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:57,100 –> 00:01:01,500
\na series that was just given at
\na regional Gathering here on the<\/p>\n

12
\n00:01:01,500 –> 00:01:03,700
\nEast Coast.
\nBrother. <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:03,700 –> 00:01:07,600
\nRyan King gave six classes on
\nJohn the Baptist. <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:08,200 –> 00:01:11,800
\nAnd today we’re listening to
\nclash 3 which is entitled. <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:12,200 –> 00:01:18,000
\nWhat went ye out to see the
\nentire series is phenomenal. <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:18,100 –> 00:01:22,000
\nAnd I’ll work on getting all the
\nlinks coordinated to be able to <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:22,000 –> 00:01:27,000
\npost on the extended podcast.
\nBecause brother Ryan had great <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:27,000 –> 00:01:32,600
\nslides to go along with the
\nclasses and coupled with a <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:32,600 –> 00:01:35,200
\nrecent trip that he had taken to
\nIsrael itself. <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:35,700 –> 00:01:38,800
\nThere’s just a lot of cool
\ncontent to take in that you want<\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:38,800 –> 00:01:41,300
\nto see as you’re listening to
\nthe classes. <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:42,900 –> 00:01:47,400
\nI would at the very least,
\nhighly recommend that you listen<\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:47,400 –> 00:01:52,200
\nto the class before this one,
\nwhich is class 2, as that was <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:52,200 –> 00:01:56,900
\nSensational in and of itself,
\nbut it sets the stage even <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:56,900 –> 00:02:03,100
\nbetter for what this class laid
\nout, which was a visual <\/p>\n

26
\n00:02:03,100 –> 00:02:09,400
\nbreakdown of the events from
\nLuke 3, With John’s excitation <\/p>\n

27
\n00:02:09,400 –> 00:02:14,500
\nin the wilderness between the
\nsymbology of his appearance. <\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:15,600 –> 00:02:18,400
\nThe back and forth between the
\nvarious groups of people. <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:19,400 –> 00:02:23,900
\nAnd ultimately, the Legacy, the
\nJohn set up for Jesus to pay off<\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:24,600 –> 00:02:29,100
\nin Matthew 11, when being asked
\nabout the signs and the rumors. <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:29,100 –> 00:02:32,800
\nAnd if he was in fact, the
\nChrist Jesus is declaration to <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:32,800 –> 00:02:35,900
\nthe crowds.
\nBeing truly, I tell you that <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:35,900 –> 00:02:39,900
\namong those born of women, there
\nhas not been any one greater. <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:40,800 –> 00:02:45,700
\nThan John the Baptist.
\nSo I’d like to think that it’s <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:45,700 –> 00:02:50,200
\nnot just confirmation bias
\nbecause I’m posting this series,<\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:51,000 –> 00:02:54,200
\nbut I think that this class and
\nparticularly two and three <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:54,200 –> 00:02:57,700
\ncombined are some of the best
\nmaterial that I’ve heard in <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:57,700 –> 00:03:04,100
\nyears between the mix of
\nscriptural connection historical<\/p>\n

39
\n00:03:04,100 –> 00:03:06,700
\ncontext and practical
\napplication. <\/p>\n

40
\n00:03:08,500 –> 00:03:12,400
\nSo I’ll refrain from waxing
\npoetic any further and just <\/p>\n

41
\n00:03:12,400 –> 00:03:14,700
\nencourage everyone to please
\nmake the time for the full set. <\/p>\n

42
\n00:03:14,700 –> 00:03:19,800
\nOnce it’s posted So as always,
\nwe hope this strengthens your <\/p>\n

43
\n00:03:19,800 –> 00:03:22,900
\nfaith and brightens your day
\nbrother. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:22,900 –> 00:03:28,000
\nRyan King what went ye out to
\nsea Good afternoon. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:28,100 –> 00:03:32,200
\nOnce again, brothers and sisters
\nhave everybody’s refreshed for <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:32,200 –> 00:03:38,100
\nthe back half.
\nWhen John was asked by a <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:38,108 –> 00:03:41,900
\ndeputation of the Jews that were
\nsent to him, who are you? <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:43,300 –> 00:03:46,400
\nit’s interesting to see that the
\nmore John said, actually, the <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:46,400 –> 00:03:51,500
\nless he said, The Jewish leaders
\nasked, are you the Christ, his <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:51,500 –> 00:03:54,600
\nanswer?
\nI am not the Christ. <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:55,200 –> 00:03:58,500
\nAre you Elijah?
\nI am not. <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:59,200 –> 00:04:01,800
\nAre you the prophet of
\nDeuteronomy 18? <\/p>\n

53
\n00:04:02,900 –> 00:04:07,500
\nno, well will then who are you
\nNothing. <\/p>\n

54
\n00:04:08,400 –> 00:04:11,700
\nJust a voice.
\nThe very fact that John saw <\/p>\n

55
\n00:04:11,700 –> 00:04:15,800
\nhimself as nothing brothers and
\nsisters is what allowed God to <\/p>\n

56
\n00:04:15,800 –> 00:04:19,899
\nmake him a voice.
\nSee if there’s one thing that <\/p>\n

57
\n00:04:19,899 –> 00:04:22,800
\nprevents God speaking through
\npeople, it’s when we insist on <\/p>\n

58
\n00:04:22,800 –> 00:04:27,700
\nspeaking for ourselves, It’s
\nonly when were able to divest <\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:27,700 –> 00:04:33,000
\nourselves of self that God can
\ntake our mouth in and use that <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:33,000 –> 00:04:37,700
\nmouth for his purpose.
\nIf we don’t need brothers and <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:37,700 –> 00:04:40,500
\nsisters, who go around the
\nEcclesia, speaking their mind, <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:40,500 –> 00:04:43,800
\nwhat we need is brothers and
\nsisters who are going to speak <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:44,100 –> 00:04:47,900
\nGod’s mind and we can only do
\nthat. <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:48,000 –> 00:04:51,200
\nAs John is going to show us when
\nwe empty ourselves of our own <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:51,200 –> 00:04:54,300
\nthoughts, that we might be
\nfilled with God’s. <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:54,800 –> 00:04:58,900
\nI am not the Christ.
\nI am not know. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:05:00,100 –> 00:05:03,600
\nLynn.
\nWho are you just a voice? <\/p>\n

68
\n00:05:04,800 –> 00:05:07,600
\nIt was interesting that he of
\nwhom it was said that he’s the <\/p>\n

69
\n00:05:07,600 –> 00:05:10,700
\ngreatest Prophet born among
\nwomen. <\/p>\n

70
\n00:05:10,700 –> 00:05:15,300
\nWe have just one verse of
\nscripture that spans 30 years of<\/p>\n

71
\n00:05:15,300 –> 00:05:18,200
\nhis life and like, you just
\nfocus on that verse of <\/p>\n

72
\n00:05:18,200 –> 00:05:20,900
\nscripture.
\nNow, if with me in Luke chapter <\/p>\n

73
\n00:05:20,900 –> 00:05:26,000
\n1 and at verse 8 e much like the
\ntestimony about our Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:26,000 –> 00:05:28,000
\nChrist, we have just a glimpse
\nof him. <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:28,000 –> 00:05:32,000
\nThey are don’t weigh in the
\ntemple dazzling, the the doctors<\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:32,000 –> 00:05:34,300
\nof the law.
\nBut although this one verse Is <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:34,300 –> 00:05:38,900
\nspans 30 years of John’s life?
\nIt it really fits his purpose. <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:39,000 –> 00:05:44,200
\nAbsolutely beautifully.
\nLuke 1, the very last verse The <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:44,207 –> 00:05:46,800
\nchild grew and waxed strong in
\nspirit. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:46,900 –> 00:05:51,000
\nHis parents are probably have
\nnow passed off the scene and was<\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:51,000 –> 00:05:56,500
\nin the deserts until the day of
\nhis showing unto Israel. <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:56,500 –> 00:05:59,900
\nAnd as we’ve been repeating
\nthroughout the classes, he’s in <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:59,900 –> 00:06:03,700
\nthe deserts.
\nThat’s where God’s voice can be <\/p>\n

84
\n00:06:03,700 –> 00:06:05,500
\nheard.
\nThat’s where he can be <\/p>\n

85
\n00:06:05,500 –> 00:06:07,400
\nunderstood.
\nWe have to isolate. <\/p>\n

86
\n00:06:07,400 –> 00:06:10,600
\nDon’t we ourselves from this
\nworld? <\/p>\n

87
\n00:06:11,500 –> 00:06:14,500
\nYou don’t think that God expects
\nany of us brothers and sisters <\/p>\n

88
\n00:06:14,500 –> 00:06:16,400
\nto live.
\nLike John the Baptist. <\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:17,100 –> 00:06:21,000
\nYou were taught in the Book of
\nEcclesiastes to live a basic <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:21,100 –> 00:06:24,000
\nlife, having contentment with
\nfood and raiment. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:24,900 –> 00:06:27,200
\nYou, he doesn’t expect us to
\nlive, like, John the Baptist. <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:27,200 –> 00:06:30,500
\nBut what he is saying is that we
\nhave to cut off ourselves from <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:30,500 –> 00:06:32,900
\nthis world, go out into a
\ndesert. <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:33,000 –> 00:06:38,200
\nEven if in our minds and their
\nuncluttered from society, we can<\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:38,200 –> 00:06:41,000
\nhear the voice of God and that
\nwas his message. <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:41,000 –> 00:06:45,800
\nHe He lived his message, he was
\nin the desert for all of those <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:45,800 –> 00:06:50,700
\nyears in a world that seized and
\nIntrigue and all of its class <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:50,700 –> 00:06:53,400
\ndistinctions, the voice was
\ncrying. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:53,700 –> 00:07:01,500
\nCome out here, come out here and
\nlearn something about God. but <\/p>\n

100
\n00:07:01,500 –> 00:07:07,500
\nthat first says, Something else,
\nJohn the Baptist claim to be <\/p>\n

101
\n00:07:07,500 –> 00:07:10,000
\njust a voice.
\nNow I understand that when you <\/p>\n

102
\n00:07:10,000 –> 00:07:13,200
\nhave a voice you listen, but
\nwhat does that verse say he was <\/p>\n

103
\n00:07:13,200 –> 00:07:18,500
\nin the deserts until the day of
\nhis showing. <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:19,600 –> 00:07:21,600
\nUnto Israel.
\nSo they were looking at <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:21,600 –> 00:07:24,000
\nsomething.
\nIt wasn’t just that they were <\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:24,000 –> 00:07:26,800
\nhearing a voice.
\nThey were seeing something, as <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:26,800 –> 00:07:29,600
\nwell, you in the Lord.
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:30,000 –> 00:07:34,000
\nSpoke about John.
\nHe said in Luke 7 verse 24. <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:34,500 –> 00:07:40,000
\nWhat went she out to sea?
\nSo, it wasn’t just a voice. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:40,300 –> 00:07:44,700
\nAlthough, John claimed to be
\nonly that they were seeing <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:44,700 –> 00:07:47,000
\nsomething about there was
\nsomething they saw in his <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:47,000 –> 00:07:50,200
\ncharacter.
\nThat was Was impressive too. <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:50,400 –> 00:07:52,800
\nAnd we need to go down this
\nmorning and we need to have a <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:52,800 –> 00:07:56,100
\nlook at him.
\nThis was efficient in the <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:56,100 –> 00:07:58,700
\nwilderness, his exhibition in
\nthe desert. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:58,700 –> 00:08:02,600
\nWell, well, what do we see?
\nLet’s come to Matthew chapter 3 <\/p>\n

117
\n00:08:02,600 –> 00:08:04,800
\nbecause Matthew gives us those
\ndetails. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:08:05,400 –> 00:08:08,800
\nWhat went ye out to see said the
\nLord Jesus Christ? <\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:08,800 –> 00:08:14,300
\nWell, here he is.
\nAnd everyone would have seen <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:14,300 –> 00:08:17,100
\nhim.
\nYou guys, we turn up that <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:17,100 –> 00:08:18,700
\nreference.
\nLet’s just have a look at the <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:18,700 –> 00:08:23,700
\nlayout of the land where John
\nwas John was in the wilderness, <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:23,700 –> 00:08:25,600
\nthe deserts until the day of his
\nshowing. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:25,600 –> 00:08:28,700
\nSo he was here in the the
\nWilderness of Judea which is <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:28,707 –> 00:08:33,600
\nvery inhospitable terrain, very
\ndifficult to to walk through <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:33,600 –> 00:08:35,799
\nbecause it’s just up and down
\nand up, and down, and up, and <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:35,799 –> 00:08:37,100
\ndown.
\nVery dry. <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:37,400 –> 00:08:40,400
\nHe was in the wilderness until
\nthe day of his show. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:40,600 –> 00:08:44,600
\nShowing unto Israel.
\nNow when John appeared on the <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:44,600 –> 00:08:47,800
\nscene to the, to the nation of
\nIsrael, he moved out of the <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:47,800 –> 00:08:50,300
\nWilderness.
\nAnd he went down here on the <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:50,300 –> 00:08:54,700
\nvalley floor, which is we know
\nis the lowest spot on the earth,<\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:54,900 –> 00:08:58,400
\njust north of the Dead Sea on
\nthe Jordan River and there he <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:58,400 –> 00:09:03,900
\nmanifested himself to the people
\nand everyone would have been <\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:03,900 –> 00:09:07,400
\nlooking down on him.
\nThese Hills were you see this? <\/p>\n

136
\n00:09:07,400 –> 00:09:11,000
\nThis rough part of the map,
\nthose Hills are about A thousand<\/p>\n

137
\n00:09:11,000 –> 00:09:14,300
\nfeet above sea level.
\nJohn is down here on the valley <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:14,300 –> 00:09:17,200
\nfloor.
\nProbably about fourteen hundred <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:17,200 –> 00:09:20,000
\nfeet below sea level.
\nSo everybody’s looking down on <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:20,000 –> 00:09:20,800
\nhim.
\nIt’s like they’re in a <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:20,808 –> 00:09:23,600
\ngrandstand and down there on the
\nvalley floor. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:23,600 –> 00:09:26,600
\nIs this, this Apparition what
\nwere they all? <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:26,600 –> 00:09:28,400
\nLooking at.
\nEverybody would have seen him <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:28,400 –> 00:09:33,100
\nlooking down the valley floor,
\ndown the amphitheater of nature.<\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:33,600 –> 00:09:35,400
\nMatthew chapter 3.
\nThis is what they saw. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:36,300 –> 00:09:40,200
\nFirst three, this is he that was
\nspoken by the prophet, Isaiah <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:40,200 –> 00:09:43,300
\nsaying, the voice of one crying
\nin the wilderness prepare. <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:43,300 –> 00:09:46,200
\nYe the way of the Lord, make his
\npaths straight. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:46,600 –> 00:09:50,400
\nAnd this same, John had his
\nraiment of camels hair and a <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:50,400 –> 00:09:55,300
\nleathern girdle about his loins
\nand his meat was locusts and <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:55,300 –> 00:09:58,400
\nWild Honey.
\nNow that is the total of John’s <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:58,400 –> 00:10:02,300
\npossessions.
\nOne leather girdle. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:10:03,900 –> 00:10:07,200
\nAnd one camels hair garment he
\nhad nothing. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:10:07,700 –> 00:10:10,700
\nHe was completely undistracted
\nby this world. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:11,000 –> 00:10:13,500
\nThat was all he had.
\nAs we said, a camel skin doesn’t<\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:13,500 –> 00:10:17,000
\nhave to be dry cleaned too often
\nand grasshoppers, don’t need <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:17,000 –> 00:10:19,900
\nmuch cooking, and because of
\nthat, he was available. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:20,200 –> 00:10:23,200
\nGod could get through to him,
\nGod could speak to him. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:23,700 –> 00:10:25,300
\nNow, it’s interesting that
\nthere’s a fascinating <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:25,300 –> 00:10:27,000
\ndifference.
\nWe saw the parallels, didn’t we <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:27,000 –> 00:10:30,100
\nwith Elijah and Elijah was
\ndressed in nature. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:31,400 –> 00:10:33,500
\nLike, I’d like a piece of
\ngranite that was just cut out of<\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:33,700 –> 00:10:37,400
\nThe escarpment of Gillian.
\nBut of Elijah, it said that his <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:37,400 –> 00:10:39,000
\nclothing was the skin of an
\nanimal. <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:39,000 –> 00:10:44,400
\nIt doesn’t say what one but of
\nJohn, we’re told what animal it <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:44,400 –> 00:10:49,200
\nwas because it says there in
\nverse 4, that it was camels. <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:49,900 –> 00:10:53,900
\nHey, Now, why would the
\nscriptures note that? <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:53,900 –> 00:10:58,500
\nWell, you know, the camel of All
\nCreatures bows and sisters is <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:58,500 –> 00:11:01,400
\nmade by the Creator for the
\ndesert. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:11:02,300 –> 00:11:05,600
\nIt’s the ship of the desert.
\nYou look at the unique features <\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:06,100 –> 00:11:09,500
\nof a camel.
\nA camel has special foot pads, <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:09,500 –> 00:11:12,900
\nwhich mold itself to the sand of
\nthe desert. <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:13,000 –> 00:11:15,500
\nIf you put a camera on Rocky
\nground, he’s hopeless. <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:15,900 –> 00:11:18,900
\nBut if you put them on the sand
\nof the desert, he’s absolutely <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:18,900 –> 00:11:22,900
\nsure.
\nHe has a hump in which to store <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:22,900 –> 00:11:24,900
\nhis food.
\nThe poor camel doesn’t know how <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:24,900 –> 00:11:26,500
\nlong he’s going to have to be
\ntrotting. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:27,200 –> 00:11:29,300
\nSo he has a hump that stores
\nfood. <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:29,700 –> 00:11:34,300
\nHe’s got a massive three.
\nBird stomach in which to store <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:34,300 –> 00:11:37,600
\nwater so that he can constantly
\nhave a replenishment. <\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:38,400 –> 00:11:43,100
\nIts nostrils are all pinched in.
\nSo, you see the blowing, Sands <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:43,100 –> 00:11:47,000
\nof the desert, can’t get in his
\nnose, because they’re pinched <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:47,000 –> 00:11:52,700
\nin. it has lips that are like
\nleather, so can eat cactus and <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:52,700 –> 00:11:57,100
\nall of the plants that are that
\nare in the desert it sheds its <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:57,100 –> 00:11:58,800
\ncoat just before the hot
\nweather. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:59,900 –> 00:12:03,600
\nSo, it has a thick coat in the
\nwinter and it has a small coat <\/p>\n

187
\n00:12:03,600 –> 00:12:07,700
\nin the summer.
\nIt can go 100 miles in 12 hours.<\/p>\n

188
\n00:12:08,900 –> 00:12:12,300
\nAnd if it needs, it can go for
\nfour successive days. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:12:12,300 –> 00:12:14,800
\nWithout a rest.
\nKeeping going and keeping going <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:14,800 –> 00:12:17,300
\nand keeping going.
\nAnd keeping going and John’s <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:17,300 –> 00:12:19,000
\nclothes in.
\nAnd now, you look at, look at <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:19,000 –> 00:12:22,700
\nthose characteristics Doesn’t
\nthe word of God need to be in <\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:22,700 –> 00:12:24,500
\nseveral chambers of our
\nthinking. <\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:25,800 –> 00:12:28,700
\nDon’t we need to have special
\nshoes to get through the terrain<\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:28,700 –> 00:12:32,200
\nof the world.
\nYou don’t, we need to have food <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:32,200 –> 00:12:37,200
\nstored up in case of a long
\ntrial that we’re going through, <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:37,900 –> 00:12:40,500
\ndon’t we need to have our
\nnostrils, you know, pinched in. <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:40,500 –> 00:12:45,100
\nSo we don’t get the, the, the
\ndegrading Sands of criticism and<\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:45,400 –> 00:12:48,900
\nnegativity in there.
\nYou know, we need to wear warm <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:48,900 –> 00:12:52,200
\ncoats in the winter to prepare
\nfor the trials of the winter. <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:52,200 –> 00:12:54,500
\nAnd then when the hot weather is
\nbeating down on us, we need to <\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:54,500 –> 00:12:58,300
\nhave our thin coats.
\nHe’s adapted to his <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:58,308 –> 00:13:02,300
\ncircumstances.
\nAnd John’s clothes in and that’s<\/p>\n

204
\n00:13:02,300 –> 00:13:04,700
\nwhat God is saying to us in that
\nCamel. <\/p>\n

205
\n00:13:05,200 –> 00:13:10,400
\nHe is made for the desert and so
\nmust we, we’ve got to be made, <\/p>\n

206
\n00:13:10,400 –> 00:13:13,100
\nnot for this world and to be
\nconformed to that. <\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:13,100 –> 00:13:17,300
\nBut to be made for the desert.
\nAnd you know, the camera was <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:17,300 –> 00:13:20,200
\nunclean under the law of Moses.
\nHe’s a priest. <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:21,300 –> 00:13:24,600
\nAnd John’s clothes in him.
\nWhat? <\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:24,900 –> 00:13:26,500
\nGod has cleansed brothers and
\nsisters? <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:26,500 –> 00:13:28,200
\nNo man.
\nWas the dare call common or <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:28,200 –> 00:13:31,900
\nunclean.
\nThat message was reverberating <\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:31,900 –> 00:13:35,100
\nout of John, what went ye out to
\nsea well he’s dressed in that <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:35,100 –> 00:13:38,400
\nbecause that’s the way that we
\nhave to be adapted to hardship <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:38,600 –> 00:13:42,300
\nadapted to the difficulties of
\nthe desert, having the word of <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:42,300 –> 00:13:48,200
\nGod, in several chambers of our
\nare thinking, and what was his. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:48,300 –> 00:13:50,800
\nHis energy bar has entered his
\nstrength. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:54,100 –> 00:13:57,400
\nIt was locusts.
\nNow who would live on Locust? <\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:58,100 –> 00:14:02,000
\nI’m told they taste like armpits
\nwhich I’ve never put to the <\/p>\n

220
\n00:14:02,000 –> 00:14:04,600
\nproof but that that’s what I’m
\ntold. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:04,600 –> 00:14:08,500
\nNow this seems like a strange
\nthing to eat locusts until the <\/p>\n

222
\n00:14:08,500 –> 00:14:11,200
\ndays in which we live and you
\ncan go to Whole Foods and pick <\/p>\n

223
\n00:14:11,200 –> 00:14:15,600
\nup yourself a bag of chirps
\nwhich are sort of a cricket <\/p>\n

224
\n00:14:15,600 –> 00:14:20,800
\nbased potato chip.
\nNow, but everything about this <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:20,800 –> 00:14:26,600
\nman is Clint is linked with the
\ndesert He’s eating Locust. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:26,700 –> 00:14:28,700
\nNow, locusts were clean under
\nthe law of Moses. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:28,700 –> 00:14:34,100
\nDepending on what type you see,
\nif a creature of a little Locust<\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:34,100 –> 00:14:38,200
\ncould could spring above the
\nEarth, you could eat it. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:38,700 –> 00:14:42,100
\nGod didn’t authorize them to eat
\nanything that groveled in the, <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:42,100 –> 00:14:44,400
\nin the dirt.
\nBut if a little creature could <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:44,400 –> 00:14:48,900
\ngo doing like that he’s clean.
\nDo you think about the message <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:48,900 –> 00:14:51,700
\nof John, the Baptist?
\nWhat is he counseling us to do <\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:51,900 –> 00:14:57,200
\nget Above This Life Spring?
\nOff by setting our affection <\/p>\n

234
\n00:14:57,200 –> 00:14:59,800
\nupon what’s above.
\nGet away from the world, get <\/p>\n

235
\n00:14:59,800 –> 00:15:03,900
\naway from the earth, go out into
\nthe desert if you can spring <\/p>\n

236
\n00:15:03,900 –> 00:15:09,000
\nabove your clean.
\nAnd he’s eating those <\/p>\n

237
\n00:15:09,000 –> 00:15:11,900
\ngrasshoppers.
\nThat was his message. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:15:11,900 –> 00:15:15,600
\nYou, he wasn’t asking us to do
\nany more than what he’s doing <\/p>\n

239
\n00:15:16,100 –> 00:15:18,500
\nhimself.
\nHe lived his message. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:15:18,500 –> 00:15:21,000
\nYou’ve got to get away from this
\nworld. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:15:21,000 –> 00:15:24,200
\nIf ever, God is going to speak
\nto you. <\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:25,200 –> 00:15:27,100
\nNow, what were the Locust
\nflavored with? <\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:28,100 –> 00:15:31,000
\nWell, they’re flavored there
\nwith Wild Honey. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:15:31,000 –> 00:15:34,700
\nNow, it doesn’t mean sort of
\nangry, honey, that is wild in <\/p>\n

245
\n00:15:34,700 –> 00:15:36,500
\nthat sense.
\nThe word really means natural <\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:36,500 –> 00:15:37,700
\nhoney.
\nAnd where is it found in the <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:37,708 –> 00:15:40,700
\nland of Israel?
\nIt’s mostly found in the desert <\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:40,700 –> 00:15:44,400
\nunder a rock.
\nSo Deuteronomy chapter 32 talks <\/p>\n

249
\n00:15:44,400 –> 00:15:48,100
\nabout how I gave them honey out
\nof the rock. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:15:48,400 –> 00:15:51,300
\nNow, this picture here is a
\npicture of bethsaida, which is <\/p>\n

251
\n00:15:51,300 –> 00:15:54,900
\none of the places you can visit
\nin the land of Israel today. <\/p>\n

252
\n00:15:55,600 –> 00:15:58,900
\nNow, what happened when we went
\nto bethsaida is in all of these <\/p>\n

253
\n00:15:58,900 –> 00:16:04,300
\nrocks that you see here, the
\nbees had made their nest and <\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:04,300 –> 00:16:07,500
\nthey were making honey in
\nbetween all of these rocks here.<\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:07,500 –> 00:16:09,900
\nActually, there were so many
\nbees and so many wasp, but we <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:09,908 –> 00:16:12,100
\nactually couldn’t visit
\nbethsaida because we would have <\/p>\n

257
\n00:16:12,700 –> 00:16:17,000
\nYeah, we have been stung.
\nSo there was honey out of the <\/p>\n

258
\n00:16:17,000 –> 00:16:19,300
\nrock submit get everything about
\nthis. <\/p>\n

259
\n00:16:19,300 –> 00:16:23,000
\nThis man is connected with the
\nWilderness with the desert. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:16:24,700 –> 00:16:28,300
\nAnd note the context of
\nDeuteronomy 32 Deuteronomy, 32 <\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:28,600 –> 00:16:32,800
\ntalks about how God In His
\nblessings upon upon Israel. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:16:32,800 –> 00:16:35,700
\nHe gave them honey out of the
\nRock. <\/p>\n

263
\n00:16:35,700 –> 00:16:37,500
\nAnd you know what?
\nIt says, two verses later. <\/p>\n

264
\n00:16:38,200 –> 00:16:43,800
\nIt says I have brought you into
\na waste howling Wilderness that <\/p>\n

265
\n00:16:43,800 –> 00:16:48,600
\nI might instruct you.
\nAnd in that context, we read <\/p>\n

266
\n00:16:48,600 –> 00:16:50,700
\nabout honey out of the rock.
\nNow, what is, what is John <\/p>\n

267
\n00:16:50,700 –> 00:16:53,800
\ndoing?
\nCome out into the Wilderness and<\/p>\n

268
\n00:16:53,800 –> 00:17:00,500
\nlearned something about God,
\nthat I might instruct you, it <\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:00,500 –> 00:17:03,800
\nwas in the wilderness where the
\ninstruction of the word takes <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:03,800 –> 00:17:10,099
\nplace. we can’t do that,
\nliterally But we have to do it <\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:10,108 –> 00:17:13,300
\nin our minds.
\nClose the door to our studies. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:17:15,800 –> 00:17:21,200
\nGo out at least in our minds
\nwalkout to the backyard and sit <\/p>\n

273
\n00:17:21,200 –> 00:17:24,200
\ndown and open the word.
\nBut how’re we ever going to do <\/p>\n

274
\n00:17:24,200 –> 00:17:26,800
\nthat, where we sit down and we
\nopen the Bible and we read for <\/p>\n

275
\n00:17:26,800 –> 00:17:32,900
\nfive minutes and then Bing.
\nAnd then we we address whatever <\/p>\n

276
\n00:17:32,900 –> 00:17:34,500
\nthe ding is.
\nAnd okay, when it was his first <\/p>\n

277
\n00:17:34,500 –> 00:17:38,200
\nsaying to me, read Real 2
\nminutes and then Bing, How’re we<\/p>\n

278
\n00:17:38,200 –> 00:17:40,000
\never going to understand the
\nBible like that? <\/p>\n

279
\n00:17:40,600 –> 00:17:43,000
\nHow’re we ever going to hear
\nGod’s voice? <\/p>\n

280
\n00:17:43,600 –> 00:17:46,800
\nYou put those things away,
\nthey’re being, they’re dragging <\/p>\n

281
\n00:17:46,800 –> 00:17:51,100
\nus away all the time, put the
\ncell phone away, turn the Wi-Fi <\/p>\n

282
\n00:17:51,100 –> 00:17:55,000
\noff, and transport yourself to
\nwhere the voice of God is heard <\/p>\n

283
\n00:17:55,200 –> 00:17:59,000
\nand he will speak to your heart.
\nAs Hosea said, I will lure her <\/p>\n

284
\n00:17:59,000 –> 00:18:04,100
\ninto the Wilderness and there, I
\nwill speak to her heart to see <\/p>\n

285
\n00:18:04,100 –> 00:18:06,100
\nthe point of these studies
\nbrothers and sisters is really <\/p>\n

286
\n00:18:06,100 –> 00:18:10,400
\nnot very hard to grasp.
\nLaughs, what’s very difficult is<\/p>\n

287
\n00:18:10,600 –> 00:18:14,900
\nthe application.
\nAnd it’s, perhaps harder now <\/p>\n

288
\n00:18:15,000 –> 00:18:18,700
\nthan any other age in human
\nhistory, you can read articles <\/p>\n

289
\n00:18:18,700 –> 00:18:21,400
\non, you know, that have been put
\nout by people who have no <\/p>\n

290
\n00:18:21,400 –> 00:18:25,600
\nconnection with the Bible.
\nNo belief in God at all. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:18:25,600 –> 00:18:28,100
\nAnd they’ll tell you that the
\ninternet destroys your mind. <\/p>\n

292
\n00:18:28,900 –> 00:18:31,000
\nThey’ll tell you that
\ntelevision, damages the <\/p>\n

293
\n00:18:31,000 –> 00:18:34,600
\nleft-hand hemisphere of the
\nbrain, whether it’s a good <\/p>\n

294
\n00:18:34,600 –> 00:18:39,200
\nprogram or not, That’s what
\npeople in the world, you know, <\/p>\n

295
\n00:18:39,200 –> 00:18:41,900
\nthey’ve got no connection at all
\nwith with the Bible. <\/p>\n

296
\n00:18:43,200 –> 00:18:47,000
\nSo we’ve got to put away those
\nthings, John had no possessions.<\/p>\n

297
\n00:18:47,000 –> 00:18:50,700
\nHe had no status, you had a very
\nlow opinion of himself. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:18:52,000 –> 00:18:55,600
\nBut he lived what he taught.
\nAnd God was able to get through <\/p>\n

299
\n00:18:55,600 –> 00:18:58,300
\nto him his clothing, his desert,
\nhis food is Desert, he lives in <\/p>\n

300
\n00:18:58,300 –> 00:19:00,700
\nthe desert.
\nSo let’s come to have a look at <\/p>\n

301
\n00:19:00,700 –> 00:19:02,200
\nhim.
\nNow in the desert, in Luke <\/p>\n

302
\n00:19:02,200 –> 00:19:07,100
\nChapter 3, The Day of His
\nexhibition unto Israel. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:19:07,100 –> 00:19:09,600
\nWhat?
\nWhen she out to sea the sea, ask<\/p>\n

304
\n00:19:09,600 –> 00:19:10,500
\nthe Lord.
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:19:10,500 –> 00:19:13,100
\nWell here, here it is.
\nNow, good. <\/p>\n

306
\n00:19:13,100 –> 00:19:16,800
\nBible study is always based as
\nwe’ve been taught on good Bible <\/p>\n

307
\n00:19:16,800 –> 00:19:18,900
\nreading.
\nAnd here is one of those <\/p>\n

308
\n00:19:18,900 –> 00:19:22,200
\npassages of scripture where all
\nyou have to do is read it <\/p>\n

309
\n00:19:22,700 –> 00:19:26,300
\nbecause the message is so,
\nDidn’t first one of Luke chapter<\/p>\n

310
\n00:19:26,300 –> 00:19:29,100
\n3, it lists, all of the world’s
\ngreats. <\/p>\n

311
\n00:19:29,300 –> 00:19:33,000
\nNow in the fifteenth year of the
\nreign of Tiberius Caesar, <\/p>\n

312
\n00:19:33,900 –> 00:19:37,400
\nPontius Pilate being governor of
\nJudea Herod. <\/p>\n

313
\n00:19:37,400 –> 00:19:38,800
\nBeing the tetrarch of Galilee
\nme. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:19:38,800 –> 00:19:43,100
\nHow’s this for, a who’s, who of
\nnames and his brother Philip <\/p>\n

315
\n00:19:43,300 –> 00:19:47,100
\ntetrarch of it Sharia and the
\nregion of track and it\u00eds in. <\/p>\n

316
\n00:19:47,100 –> 00:19:50,200
\nLice Aeneas, the tetrarch of
\nAbilene e, Aniston Caiaphas <\/p>\n

317
\n00:19:50,200 –> 00:19:55,300
\nbeing the high priest.
\nThe word of God. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:19:56,500 –> 00:19:59,800
\nCame unto John, the son of
\nZechariah swear. <\/p>\n

319
\n00:20:01,400 –> 00:20:05,100
\nIn the wilderness.
\nYou see there’s all the world’s <\/p>\n

320
\n00:20:05,100 –> 00:20:09,800
\ngreats real prizes, some of them
\nand there’s all their territory <\/p>\n

321
\n00:20:10,600 –> 00:20:13,100
\nand it finishes up with the last
\ntwo, the high priest of the god <\/p>\n

322
\n00:20:13,100 –> 00:20:16,300
\nof Israel himself.
\nAnd the word of God went past <\/p>\n

323
\n00:20:16,400 –> 00:20:20,400
\nevery single one of them and it
\ngoes to John in the wilderness <\/p>\n

324
\n00:20:20,400 –> 00:20:25,500
\nwearing a camel skin.
\nIn the wilderness really whose <\/p>\n

325
\n00:20:25,500 –> 00:20:28,100
\nterritory?
\nNone of those guys would have <\/p>\n

326
\n00:20:28,100 –> 00:20:30,700
\nwanted.
\nYour God can’t get through to <\/p>\n

327
\n00:20:30,700 –> 00:20:33,600
\nTiberius Caesar.
\nHe couldn’t get through to Herod<\/p>\n

328
\n00:20:34,200 –> 00:20:39,000
\nJohn tried, with Philip and
\nHerod Antipas, but gods were <\/p>\n

329
\n00:20:39,000 –> 00:20:40,900
\njust wouldn’t find room in their
\nlife. <\/p>\n

330
\n00:20:43,400 –> 00:20:45,200
\nBut God could get through to
\nJohn, because he was <\/p>\n

331
\n00:20:45,200 –> 00:20:49,000
\nunencumbered with the things of
\nthis life. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:20:50,300 –> 00:20:53,400
\nHe couldn’t speak through Herod.
\nHe couldn’t speak through <\/p>\n

333
\n00:20:53,400 –> 00:20:57,300
\nTiberius Caesar because the
\nthings of this world were two <\/p>\n

334
\n00:20:57,300 –> 00:21:00,000
\nimportant, they had to position
\nto protect, they had riches to <\/p>\n

335
\n00:21:00,008 –> 00:21:02,400
\npreserve.
\nBut when you thinking about <\/p>\n

336
\n00:21:02,400 –> 00:21:04,300
\nthose things brothers and
\nsisters, you can’t think about <\/p>\n

337
\n00:21:04,300 –> 00:21:06,500
\nGod.
\nAnd so the word of God goes past<\/p>\n

338
\n00:21:06,500 –> 00:21:11,600
\nevery one of them and it comes
\nto John in the wilderness <\/p>\n

339
\n00:21:12,100 –> 00:21:16,800
\nwearing a camel skin.
\nHe’s not asking us brothers and <\/p>\n

340
\n00:21:16,800 –> 00:21:19,900
\nsisters to do any more than what
\nhe’s doing, himself. <\/p>\n

341
\n00:21:19,900 –> 00:21:22,900
\nThere is his message.
\nWe have to leave the world. <\/p>\n

342
\n00:21:22,900 –> 00:21:25,400
\nWe have to leave.
\nOur possessions have to put <\/p>\n

343
\n00:21:25,400 –> 00:21:28,000
\nbehind materialism.
\nWe don’t need those things. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:21:28,700 –> 00:21:30,200
\nAll we need to live a Godly
\nlife. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:21:30,200 –> 00:21:33,800
\nWith contentment is the things
\nwhich God provides food and <\/p>\n

346
\n00:21:33,800 –> 00:21:38,400
\nraiment and and time to study
\nthe Bible. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:21:39,000 –> 00:21:41,700
\nSo John was down here in verse 3
\nand he was baptizing. <\/p>\n

348
\n00:21:41,700 –> 00:21:46,400
\nIt says the baptism of
\nrepentance For the remission of <\/p>\n

349
\n00:21:46,400 –> 00:21:48,400
\nsins.
\nNow, to a christadelphians <\/p>\n

350
\n00:21:48,400 –> 00:21:50,400
\ncourse, is a very familiar
\nconcept. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:21:51,300 –> 00:21:54,300
\nBaptism.
\nWe are all very familiar with <\/p>\n

352
\n00:21:54,300 –> 00:21:56,800
\nbut you see you have to
\nunderstand what the scribes and <\/p>\n

353
\n00:21:56,800 –> 00:21:59,800
\nPharisees top.
\nSee they thought they taught? <\/p>\n

354
\n00:21:59,800 –> 00:22:03,500
\nThere was a difference between
\nJews and well, we’ll call him <\/p>\n

355
\n00:22:03,500 –> 00:22:05,500
\nGentiles but they called them
\ndogs. <\/p>\n

356
\n00:22:06,700 –> 00:22:10,500
\nAnd a Jew when he came to the
\nage of 13, we know was inducted <\/p>\n

357
\n00:22:10,700 –> 00:22:14,700
\nas a sign of the Covenant in a
\nvery elaborate ceremony. <\/p>\n

358
\n00:22:14,700 –> 00:22:17,500
\nBut but what if a gentile wants
\nto be a son of the Covenant, <\/p>\n

359
\n00:22:17,600 –> 00:22:20,400
\nwhat do you have to do?
\nYou gotta wash him. <\/p>\n

360
\n00:22:21,600 –> 00:22:27,700
\nBaptism was something that Jews
\nreserved to wash filthy and <\/p>\n

361
\n00:22:27,700 –> 00:22:31,200
\nunclean Gentiles.
\nThen what’s John saying here? <\/p>\n

362
\n00:22:31,300 –> 00:22:33,700
\nThis is absolutely staggering to
\nthem. <\/p>\n

363
\n00:22:34,600 –> 00:22:37,200
\nIt’s not just Gentiles have got
\nto get baptized. <\/p>\n

364
\n00:22:37,500 –> 00:22:42,600
\nYou’ve all got to get baptized
\nunless you’re prepared to all. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:22:42,600 –> 00:22:47,500
\nGo down into the muddy stream of
\nJordan confess that all flesh is<\/p>\n

366
\n00:22:47,500 –> 00:22:49,800
\ngrass.
\nAnd there’s no way that you’re <\/p>\n

367
\n00:22:49,800 –> 00:22:54,800
\ngoing to find Repentance.
\nImagine imagine a Pharisee <\/p>\n

368
\n00:22:55,000 –> 00:22:59,800
\nhaving to lower his dignity to
\nthat you with his, his Royal <\/p>\n

369
\n00:22:59,800 –> 00:23:02,900
\nrobes and his broad.
\nPhylacteries, you’ve all got to <\/p>\n

370
\n00:23:02,900 –> 00:23:08,500
\nget down into that.
\nMuddy mess and confess who you <\/p>\n

371
\n00:23:08,500 –> 00:23:10,500
\nare.
\nHave a look at what John was to <\/p>\n

372
\n00:23:10,500 –> 00:23:12,200
\ndo.
\nCome back to John’s chapter <\/p>\n

373
\n00:23:12,300 –> 00:23:15,800
\nIsaiah 40.
\nSo we said, we were going to be <\/p>\n

374
\n00:23:15,800 –> 00:23:19,200
\nhere in every session because
\nthis is the work of John all <\/p>\n

375
\n00:23:19,200 –> 00:23:21,300
\nspelled out.
\nNot just in the gospels with all<\/p>\n

376
\n00:23:21,300 –> 00:23:26,100
\npredicted here by Isaiah In view
\nof John’s preaching, the glory <\/p>\n

377
\n00:23:26,100 –> 00:23:29,900
\nof Yahweh was to be revealed,
\nsays verse 5. <\/p>\n

378
\n00:23:32,200 –> 00:23:37,100
\nThe glory of Yahweh was to be
\nrevealed and All Flesh verse 5 <\/p>\n

379
\n00:23:37,100 –> 00:23:41,400
\nof Isaiah 40, shall see it
\ntogether. <\/p>\n

380
\n00:23:41,500 –> 00:23:43,900
\nThe word together.
\nThey’re really means to become a<\/p>\n

381
\n00:23:43,908 –> 00:23:48,700
\nlike it’s the were decade which
\nmeans to be United to to become <\/p>\n

382
\n00:23:49,000 –> 00:23:54,300
\nalike.
\nThis Glory will bring everyone <\/p>\n

383
\n00:23:54,700 –> 00:23:57,600
\nto a common level, whether
\nyou’re rich, whether you’re <\/p>\n

384
\n00:23:57,600 –> 00:24:03,000
\npoor, no matter your race.
\nEverything will be brought to a <\/p>\n

385
\n00:24:03,008 –> 00:24:08,800
\ncommon level by what John is
\nabout to do, all distinctions <\/p>\n

386
\n00:24:09,000 –> 00:24:11,900
\nwill disappear and it was the
\nglory of Yahweh. <\/p>\n

387
\n00:24:11,900 –> 00:24:14,100
\nIt says that will that will do
\nthat. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:24:14,300 –> 00:24:18,300
\nNow in John 1:14, you need turn
\ninto it but it says the word <\/p>\n

389
\n00:24:18,300 –> 00:24:22,200
\nbecame flesh and dwelt among us
\nand we beheld, his glory The <\/p>\n

390
\n00:24:22,200 –> 00:24:25,100
\nglory, as of the only begotten
\nof the father, full of grace and<\/p>\n

391
\n00:24:25,100 –> 00:24:27,300
\ntruth.
\nSo there’s the glory of verse 5 <\/p>\n

392
\n00:24:27,500 –> 00:24:33,100
\nbeing revealed that’s in John
\nchapter 1, John chapter 3 deals <\/p>\n

393
\n00:24:33,100 –> 00:24:37,500
\nwith Nicodemus, a man who
\nthought his blood was blue and <\/p>\n

394
\n00:24:37,500 –> 00:24:42,100
\neverybody else’s was red.
\nAnd John chapter 4 deals with a <\/p>\n

395
\n00:24:42,100 –> 00:24:46,500
\ncorrupt, Evil Woman of Samaria,
\nthe other end of the scale. <\/p>\n

396
\n00:24:47,600 –> 00:24:55,600
\nAnd God brought them together.
\nHe met Nicodemus at night, he <\/p>\n

397
\n00:24:55,600 –> 00:24:57,700
\nmet the woman of Samaria at the
\nblaze of dead. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:24:58,900 –> 00:25:02,100
\nHe said to Nicodemus, God, so
\nloved the world. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:25:02,700 –> 00:25:04,700
\nHe said, to the woman of
\nSamaria, salvation is of the <\/p>\n

400
\n00:25:04,700 –> 00:25:06,900
\nJews.
\nHe brought them together. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:25:07,000 –> 00:25:11,600
\nHe narrowed Nicodemus has
\nperspective, and he sorry. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:25:11,600 –> 00:25:15,200
\nYeah, he brought Nicodemus, his
\nperspective and he narrowed the <\/p>\n

403
\n00:25:15,200 –> 00:25:20,600
\nwoman of Samaria use because all
\nstatus All positions. <\/p>\n

404
\n00:25:20,600 –> 00:25:24,300
\nEverything Fades into
\ninsignificance in the view of <\/p>\n

405
\n00:25:24,300 –> 00:25:30,200
\nthat glory and every Valley was
\nto be exalted. <\/p>\n

406
\n00:25:30,900 –> 00:25:35,100
\nEvery Mountain Hill, was to be
\nmade low, the Crooked places <\/p>\n

407
\n00:25:35,100 –> 00:25:37,600
\nshall be made straight and so
\nthose lives that were crooked <\/p>\n

408
\n00:25:37,600 –> 00:25:41,200
\nin, God’s sight would be
\nstraightened out and the rough <\/p>\n

409
\n00:25:41,200 –> 00:25:45,000
\nplaces smoothed over and there
\nare four classes in that verse. <\/p>\n

410
\n00:25:45,600 –> 00:25:48,900
\nThere’s The Valleys, there’s the
\nmountains and Hills. <\/p>\n

411
\n00:25:49,200 –> 00:25:53,500
\nThere’s the Crooked places and
\nthen there’s the rough places. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:25:55,200 –> 00:25:57,100
\nAnd we come to the record of
\nLuke chapter 3. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:25:58,300 –> 00:26:02,200
\nThere are only four classes of
\npeople who ask John questions. <\/p>\n

414
\n00:26:03,100 –> 00:26:05,900
\nThere’s the common people that
\nhe elevated. <\/p>\n

415
\n00:26:07,000 –> 00:26:11,300
\nThe scribes and the Pharisees
\nthat he leveled the tax <\/p>\n

416
\n00:26:11,300 –> 00:26:13,900
\ncollectors with all, their
\ncrooked dealings is tax <\/p>\n

417
\n00:26:13,900 –> 00:26:17,800
\ncollectors.
\nHe straightened them out and <\/p>\n

418
\n00:26:17,800 –> 00:26:22,200
\ndown came the Roman soldiers,
\nwith all of their brutality and <\/p>\n

419
\n00:26:22,200 –> 00:26:25,900
\nhe said do violence to no man.
\nHe’s smooth them over. <\/p>\n

420
\n00:26:26,800 –> 00:26:28,200
\nWhat?
\nA remarkable fulfillment. <\/p>\n

421
\n00:26:28,200 –> 00:26:31,800
\nThere is of Isaiah chapter 40.
\nThose are the only four classes <\/p>\n

422
\n00:26:31,800 –> 00:26:35,200
\nthat ask them questions, the
\ncommon people whom he elevated, <\/p>\n

423
\n00:26:35,200 –> 00:26:36,600
\nthe scribes and the Pharisees
\nhome. <\/p>\n

424
\n00:26:36,800 –> 00:26:39,200
\nLevel.
\nThe tax collectors, he <\/p>\n

425
\n00:26:39,200 –> 00:26:42,400
\nstraightened out and the rough
\nbrutal. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:26:42,400 –> 00:26:44,900
\nRoman soldiers.
\nThey said, what are we going to <\/p>\n

427
\n00:26:44,900 –> 00:26:48,000
\ndo?
\nHe’s smooth them over what we <\/p>\n

428
\n00:26:48,000 –> 00:26:49,600
\nwant.
\nNow, want to consider is what he<\/p>\n

429
\n00:26:49,600 –> 00:26:52,600
\nsaid.
\nIn fact, to each class come back<\/p>\n

430
\n00:26:52,600 –> 00:26:57,100
\nto Luke chapter 3.
\nSo, the glory of Yahweh is <\/p>\n

431
\n00:26:57,100 –> 00:27:00,400
\nrevealed and All Flesh will be
\nmade alike. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:27:01,800 –> 00:27:03,600
\nSo who comes there?
\nWell, of course, it’s the <\/p>\n

433
\n00:27:03,608 –> 00:27:06,900
\nscribes and the Pharisees.
\nAs you can expect that that come<\/p>\n

434
\n00:27:06,900 –> 00:27:11,600
\nfor first, they make their
\npresence known immediately, Luke<\/p>\n

435
\n00:27:11,600 –> 00:27:18,100
\nchapter 3, and verse 7, then
\nsaid, he to the multitude that <\/p>\n

436
\n00:27:18,100 –> 00:27:21,500
\ncame forth to be baptized of
\nhim, o Generation of Vipers. <\/p>\n

437
\n00:27:21,500 –> 00:27:24,000
\nWho hath warned you to flee from
\nthe Wrath to come. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:27:24,500 –> 00:27:27,400
\nNow, in verse 7, where it says,
\nthey’re the multitude. <\/p>\n

439
\n00:27:27,600 –> 00:27:31,100
\nWe know from the parallel
\naccount in Matthew chapter 3 <\/p>\n

440
\n00:27:31,100 –> 00:27:34,600
\nthat this is In fact was the
\nscribes and the Pharisees. <\/p>\n

441
\n00:27:34,600 –> 00:27:39,300
\nThey come first to be baptized.
\nDo you know what a Pharisee <\/p>\n

442
\n00:27:39,300 –> 00:27:44,600
\nmeans the word Pharisee?
\nThat means a separate one. <\/p>\n

443
\n00:27:45,400 –> 00:27:47,400
\nIt’s a separate one.
\nHave a look at who they’re <\/p>\n

444
\n00:27:47,400 –> 00:27:54,400
\ntalking to who’s separate.
\nJohn the Baptist or then down, <\/p>\n

445
\n00:27:54,400 –> 00:27:59,200
\ncome the separate ones and and
\nJohn doesn’t even let them open <\/p>\n

446
\n00:27:59,200 –> 00:28:01,700
\ntheir mouth.
\nThe Pharisees who, you know, <\/p>\n

447
\n00:28:01,700 –> 00:28:06,500
\ncould talk who make long prayers
\nfor a pretense. <\/p>\n

448
\n00:28:06,600 –> 00:28:09,900
\nThey don’t even get one word in
\nthis record, John, just cuts <\/p>\n

449
\n00:28:09,900 –> 00:28:12,200
\nthem off before they even get
\nthere. <\/p>\n

450
\n00:28:12,200 –> 00:28:16,900
\nHe says, o Generation of Vipers
\nwho hath warned you to flee from<\/p>\n

451
\n00:28:16,900 –> 00:28:21,300
\nthe Wrath to come bring forth.
\nTherefore fruits Worthy of <\/p>\n

452
\n00:28:21,300 –> 00:28:23,600
\nrepentance.
\nSo in Isaiah’s prophecy, the <\/p>\n

453
\n00:28:23,600 –> 00:28:27,900
\nmountains are now going.
\nBecause they were the mountains <\/p>\n

454
\n00:28:27,900 –> 00:28:31,300
\nof that day and Jewish Society.
\nThey were the clergy, the <\/p>\n

455
\n00:28:31,300 –> 00:28:35,400
\nmountains are now.
\nJohn doesn’t even let them get a<\/p>\n

456
\n00:28:35,408 –> 00:28:40,200
\nword in bring forth therefore
\nfruits meet for repentance. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:28:40,200 –> 00:28:43,200
\nAnd what he’s actually doing is
\nhe’s really drawing on the <\/p>\n

458
\n00:28:43,200 –> 00:28:48,300
\nfigure of the land.
\nYou see, Jordan overflows, its <\/p>\n

459
\n00:28:48,300 –> 00:28:53,200
\nbanks during the time of
\nharvest, Every Spring, And if <\/p>\n

460
\n00:28:53,208 –> 00:28:57,500
\nyou’ve ever seen a war, you
\nknow, a river flood and then <\/p>\n

461
\n00:28:57,500 –> 00:29:01,800
\nrecede, what it does, is it
\nleaves behind it, all the debris<\/p>\n

462
\n00:29:01,800 –> 00:29:06,400
\nand trash in the, the sticks and
\nthe leaves that leaves that <\/p>\n

463
\n00:29:06,400 –> 00:29:10,400
\nbehind it.
\nAs it as it recedes, then, in <\/p>\n

464
\n00:29:10,400 –> 00:29:12,700
\nthe land of Israel gets really,
\nreally hot. <\/p>\n

465
\n00:29:13,800 –> 00:29:17,300
\nAnd it bakes, all of the debris
\nin the Bracken and the trash <\/p>\n

466
\n00:29:17,300 –> 00:29:19,800
\nthat the Jordan has washed up
\nand it makes it really, really <\/p>\n

467
\n00:29:19,800 –> 00:29:21,300
\nhard.
\nIt’s really caked. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:29:22,000 –> 00:29:24,700
\nAnd in John’s day, you know, who
\ngot down into and all that <\/p>\n

469
\n00:29:24,700 –> 00:29:29,900
\ndebris and all that Bracken
\nsnakes you in Zechariah the <\/p>\n

470
\n00:29:29,900 –> 00:29:32,100
\nprophet in, Jeremiah the
\nprophet. <\/p>\n

471
\n00:29:32,100 –> 00:29:35,800
\nHe warn people about the Jordan,
\nthey were vipers down there. <\/p>\n

472
\n00:29:35,800 –> 00:29:38,700
\nThey were Lions down, there was
\na dangerous place. <\/p>\n

473
\n00:29:39,600 –> 00:29:41,900
\nAnd so, what the farmers used to
\ndo is they would sometimes put <\/p>\n

474
\n00:29:41,900 –> 00:29:46,400
\nthe torch to that trash and all
\nof that Bracken down there along<\/p>\n

475
\n00:29:46,400 –> 00:29:50,000
\nthe Jordan and outcome.
\nAll the snakes fleeing away. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:29:50,800 –> 00:29:52,700
\nOh, serpents and Generation of
\nVipers. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:29:52,700 –> 00:29:55,900
\nWho hath warned you to flee from
\nthe Wrath to come says, John <\/p>\n

478
\n00:29:56,300 –> 00:29:59,900
\nbring forth therefore fruits
\nmeet for repentance. <\/p>\n

479
\n00:30:00,100 –> 00:30:02,500
\nSee the mountains are being
\nleveled. <\/p>\n

480
\n00:30:03,800 –> 00:30:09,800
\nMalachi 4:1 said, this the day
\nis coming, that shall burn as an<\/p>\n

481
\n00:30:09,800 –> 00:30:14,100
\noven and ye upon all that are
\nproud and all that do wickedly <\/p>\n

482
\n00:30:14,200 –> 00:30:16,700
\nand he will need him, neither
\nroot nor branch. <\/p>\n

483
\n00:30:17,200 –> 00:30:19,800
\nAnd the end of that chapter
\nsays, behold, I send you Elijah.<\/p>\n

484
\n00:30:20,500 –> 00:30:26,000
\nSo here is John Drawing on the
\nfigure of the of the times, you <\/p>\n

485
\n00:30:26,000 –> 00:30:29,900
\nknow, who hath warned you to
\nflee from the Wrath to come, you<\/p>\n

486
\n00:30:29,900 –> 00:30:33,000
\nGeneration of Vipers bring forth
\nfruits meet for repentance <\/p>\n

487
\n00:30:33,000 –> 00:30:37,600
\nbefore I ever baptize you, they
\ndon’t even get a word in, they <\/p>\n

488
\n00:30:37,600 –> 00:30:41,100
\ndon’t even get a word in.
\nYou see there in verse 7, where <\/p>\n

489
\n00:30:41,100 –> 00:30:44,500
\nit says, o Generation of Vipers.
\nThe word actually is a little <\/p>\n

490
\n00:30:44,500 –> 00:30:50,500
\nbrew, a little brood of snakes.
\nThat would be fleeing from this <\/p>\n

491
\n00:30:50,500 –> 00:30:52,700
\nfire.
\nThat the farmer would would use.<\/p>\n

492
\n00:30:52,800 –> 00:30:56,800
\nTo burn up all that trash, the
\nlittle little brood of snakes. <\/p>\n

493
\n00:30:58,100 –> 00:31:01,900
\nMany years later.
\nJesus came along and he called <\/p>\n

494
\n00:31:01,900 –> 00:31:05,000
\nthem a Generation of Vipers.
\nBut then he said o Generation of<\/p>\n

495
\n00:31:05,000 –> 00:31:08,200
\nVipers.
\nHe said ye serpents and he used <\/p>\n

496
\n00:31:08,200 –> 00:31:11,200
\na mature word, therefore for
\nserpents. <\/p>\n

497
\n00:31:11,900 –> 00:31:13,300
\nThey’re just a little brood
\nhere. <\/p>\n

498
\n00:31:13,300 –> 00:31:16,000
\nBut by the time the Lord comes
\nalong and Matthew chapter 23, <\/p>\n

499
\n00:31:16,000 –> 00:31:20,000
\nwhere a absolutely up a braids
\nthem for their iniquity. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:31:20,700 –> 00:31:25,400
\nHe calls them serpents since
\nlittle brood and now matured, <\/p>\n

501
\n00:31:25,400 –> 00:31:29,900
\nand it’s iniquity and had become
\na Full-blown serpent. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:31:30,900 –> 00:31:33,800
\nYou have to change your thinking
\nbefore I’ll ever baptize you. <\/p>\n

503
\n00:31:35,200 –> 00:31:39,300
\nBy the time, the Lord came they
\nhadn’t changed and they had <\/p>\n

504
\n00:31:39,300 –> 00:31:43,000
\ngrown up.
\nNow, just to remind ourselves <\/p>\n

505
\n00:31:43,000 –> 00:31:46,300
\nwhere we are, John is baptizing
\nright here, where this, this <\/p>\n

506
\n00:31:46,300 –> 00:31:50,900
\narrow is at bethabara.
\nBethabara, you may remember, was<\/p>\n

507
\n00:31:50,900 –> 00:31:55,200
\nwhere the children of Israel
\ncrossed in the days of the exes.<\/p>\n

508
\n00:31:55,200 –> 00:31:57,000
\nHe’s not baptizing in the Dead
\nSea. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:31:57,400 –> 00:32:01,900
\nHe’s baptizing a little further
\nnorth in the Jordan at <\/p>\n

510
\n00:32:02,200 –> 00:32:05,600
\nbethabara.
\nNobody says next. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:32:06,900 –> 00:32:09,900
\nHe says, don’t think to say
\nwithin yourselves that we have <\/p>\n

512
\n00:32:09,900 –> 00:32:13,100
\nAbraham to our father, but I say
\nunto you that God is able of <\/p>\n

513
\n00:32:13,100 –> 00:32:18,300
\nthese stones to raise up
\nchildren unto Abraham, give me <\/p>\n

514
\n00:32:18,300 –> 00:32:20,600
\nwhat Joshua did with the stones
\nwhen they crossed. <\/p>\n

515
\n00:32:21,300 –> 00:32:24,900
\nYou see, they were stones in the
\nJordan in the muddy filth of <\/p>\n

516
\n00:32:24,900 –> 00:32:29,500
\nJordan at the priest had to pick
\nup 12 of them and put them in <\/p>\n

517
\n00:32:29,508 –> 00:32:33,200
\nthe land.
\nAnd then Joshua, not the priest.<\/p>\n

518
\n00:32:33,200 –> 00:32:37,700
\nJoshua took 12 Stones that were
\nnative to the land, native to <\/p>\n

519
\n00:32:37,700 –> 00:32:40,500
\nthe land.
\nHe took those 12 Stones and put <\/p>\n

520
\n00:32:40,500 –> 00:32:42,600
\nit back in Jordan and Jordan
\nwashed him over. <\/p>\n

521
\n00:32:43,300 –> 00:32:49,400
\nJoshua, did that?
\nGod is able of these stones to <\/p>\n

522
\n00:32:49,400 –> 00:32:55,000
\nraise up children unto Abraham.
\nSo just because you’re native to<\/p>\n

523
\n00:32:55,000 –> 00:32:59,000
\nthe land just because you’re
\nAbraham’s natural, descendants <\/p>\n

524
\n00:32:59,600 –> 00:33:02,000
\nthat doesn’t mean anything.
\nJoshua took the stones that were<\/p>\n

525
\n00:33:02,000 –> 00:33:05,600
\nnative to the land and stuck
\nthem in the Jordan and then <\/p>\n

526
\n00:33:05,600 –> 00:33:07,400
\nstones that were not native to
\nthe land. <\/p>\n

527
\n00:33:07,400 –> 00:33:10,400
\nYou could say Gentiles stones
\nthat aren’t native to land were <\/p>\n

528
\n00:33:10,400 –> 00:33:14,000
\npicked up out of the muddy,
\nfilth of Jordan and put in glory<\/p>\n

529
\n00:33:14,000 –> 00:33:17,200
\nin the promised land.
\nGod is able of these stones. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:33:18,000 –> 00:33:20,600
\nTo raise up children unto
\nAbraham. <\/p>\n

531
\n00:33:21,800 –> 00:33:24,600
\nHe’s just keeps on going.
\nI mean, the indictment just you <\/p>\n

532
\n00:33:24,600 –> 00:33:28,000
\nget a feeling here for the the
\nway John thought about these <\/p>\n

533
\n00:33:28,000 –> 00:33:30,400
\npeople.
\nHe knew they absolutely needed a<\/p>\n

534
\n00:33:30,408 –> 00:33:37,600
\ndressing down and he says, the
\nax is laid first nine at the <\/p>\n

535
\n00:33:37,600 –> 00:33:41,800
\nroot of the tree.
\nEvery tree which bringeth not <\/p>\n

536
\n00:33:41,800 –> 00:33:45,000
\nforth.
\nGood fruit is hewn down and cast<\/p>\n

537
\n00:33:45,200 –> 00:33:48,400
\nInto the Fire.
\nWhen Israel planted a fruit <\/p>\n

538
\n00:33:48,400 –> 00:33:51,400
\ntree.
\nThey weren’t to touch it for <\/p>\n

539
\n00:33:51,400 –> 00:33:54,900
\nthree years.
\nThey were to leave that alone <\/p>\n

540
\n00:33:55,400 –> 00:34:00,000
\nand give it to God.
\nThe did bear fruit in the fourth<\/p>\n

541
\n00:34:00,000 –> 00:34:02,500
\nyear.
\nThey chopped it down. <\/p>\n

542
\n00:34:03,400 –> 00:34:06,300
\nSo John is here at the beginning
\nof the ministry of our Lord. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:34:06,300 –> 00:34:09,500
\nJesus Christ.
\nWhich lasted three and a half <\/p>\n

544
\n00:34:09,800 –> 00:34:15,400
\nyears and he’s saying is an axe
\nat the root of that tree. <\/p>\n

545
\n00:34:17,199 –> 00:34:23,500
\nYou got three years, bring forth
\ntherefore fruits meet for <\/p>\n

546
\n00:34:23,699 –> 00:34:26,500
\nrepentance.
\nThree years later. <\/p>\n

547
\n00:34:26,500 –> 00:34:30,600
\nJesus comes along, and he gives
\na parable in Luke Chapter 13, a <\/p>\n

548
\n00:34:30,600 –> 00:34:33,800
\nparable of a fig tree in a
\nVineyard, it been going for <\/p>\n

549
\n00:34:33,800 –> 00:34:35,800
\nthree years.
\nIt hadn’t brought forth fruit. <\/p>\n

550
\n00:34:36,300 –> 00:34:39,400
\nAnd he says, cut it down and
\nsomeone says, well, let it go a <\/p>\n

551
\n00:34:39,400 –> 00:34:42,500
\nlittle further.
\nLet’s see if it brings fruit, <\/p>\n

552
\n00:34:43,000 –> 00:34:48,600
\nbut doesn’t and cut it down.
\nLook at the correlation now <\/p>\n

553
\n00:34:48,600 –> 00:34:52,400
\nbetween John and Jesus and their
\nteachings and your brothers and <\/p>\n

554
\n00:34:52,400 –> 00:34:53,699
\nsisters.
\nWe don’t know how much longer we<\/p>\n

555
\n00:34:53,699 –> 00:34:56,300
\nhave.
\nIs it three years? <\/p>\n

556
\n00:34:57,000 –> 00:35:00,700
\nI don’t know.
\nThere’s an axe, it’s there. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:35:00,700 –> 00:35:05,100
\nIf we don’t bring forth, fruits
\nmeet for repentance. <\/p>\n

558
\n00:35:05,400 –> 00:35:07,500
\nI like to think about that verse
\nbecause I think, you know, I <\/p>\n

559
\n00:35:07,500 –> 00:35:10,300
\nthink I’ve got an unlimited
\namount of time in life, you <\/p>\n

560
\n00:35:10,300 –> 00:35:11,700
\nknow.
\nI’m always one of my worst <\/p>\n

561
\n00:35:11,700 –> 00:35:13,600
\nproblems is, I think I’ll do it
\ntomorrow. <\/p>\n

562
\n00:35:14,700 –> 00:35:18,900
\nBut there’s an axe if I don’t
\nbring forth fruit. <\/p>\n

563
\n00:35:19,900 –> 00:35:22,700
\nWe’ve got to do it now today, if
\nyou will hear his voice. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:35:22,900 –> 00:35:25,200
\nSaid the song Harden?
\nNot your hearts. <\/p>\n

565
\n00:35:25,400 –> 00:35:26,400
\nHe’s yeah.
\nWhat. <\/p>\n

566
\n00:35:26,400 –> 00:35:29,500
\nA-what, a verbal blast this is
\nfrom John who could stand up to <\/p>\n

567
\n00:35:29,500 –> 00:35:33,000
\nthat, the mountains, not accept
\nit. <\/p>\n

568
\n00:35:33,000 –> 00:35:35,000
\nDon’t come here until your
\nattitude changes. <\/p>\n

569
\n00:35:36,700 –> 00:35:39,900
\nWhat about the valleys?
\nWhat about the used in me is <\/p>\n

570
\n00:35:39,908 –> 00:35:43,000
\nwhat about the working class
\nverse 10? <\/p>\n

571
\n00:35:44,200 –> 00:35:48,000
\nThe people this is the common
\npeople asked him saying, what <\/p>\n

572
\n00:35:48,000 –> 00:35:52,000
\nshall we do?
\nJohn you know, the common people<\/p>\n

573
\n00:35:52,000 –> 00:35:55,000
\nthey would have just witnessed
\nthe Pharisees, you know, getting<\/p>\n

574
\n00:35:55,000 –> 00:35:57,100
\nup writing native been a little
\nbit more confident, you know, <\/p>\n

575
\n00:35:57,107 –> 00:36:01,500
\nJohn, we’re not like those guys,
\nyou know, we’re not proud, we’re<\/p>\n

576
\n00:36:01,500 –> 00:36:04,600
\nnot materialistic.
\nYou know, we’re just we’re just <\/p>\n

577
\n00:36:04,600 –> 00:36:06,200
\ncommon folk.
\nWe’re not like those Pharisees. <\/p>\n

578
\n00:36:06,200 –> 00:36:11,900
\nWhat what should we do?
\nHe that’s got two coats. <\/p>\n

579
\n00:36:13,300 –> 00:36:18,000
\nGive one away.
\nAnd every eye in that audience <\/p>\n

580
\n00:36:18,600 –> 00:36:24,800
\nwould have been on his coat.
\nAnd if he offered you, his coat <\/p>\n

581
\n00:36:25,200 –> 00:36:26,800
\nbrothers and sisters, you
\nwouldn’t take it. <\/p>\n

582
\n00:36:29,100 –> 00:36:32,900
\nAnd he that has food.
\nLet him share it. <\/p>\n

583
\n00:36:34,200 –> 00:36:39,500
\nAnd all eyes are looking at a
\nhandful of grasshoppers if he <\/p>\n

584
\n00:36:39,500 –> 00:36:41,500
\ninvited you to dinner, brothers
\nand sisters. <\/p>\n

585
\n00:36:42,600 –> 00:36:46,700
\nYou’d feel sick.
\nThose are the only two things, <\/p>\n

586
\n00:36:46,700 –> 00:36:49,800
\nin fact that we know about
\nJohn’s personal circumstances <\/p>\n

587
\n00:36:49,900 –> 00:36:53,100
\nand they’re the only two things.
\nHe tells the common people, what<\/p>\n

588
\n00:36:53,100 –> 00:36:55,700
\nhe ate.
\nAnd what he wore? <\/p>\n

589
\n00:36:56,800 –> 00:37:00,100
\nyou know, as I was going through
\nthese notes, this morning I was <\/p>\n

590
\n00:37:00,100 –> 00:37:03,600
\nthinking to myself You know, I
\nwould love to be in that <\/p>\n

591
\n00:37:03,600 –> 00:37:06,500
\nposition.
\nYeah, I would love to be able to<\/p>\n

592
\n00:37:07,000 –> 00:37:11,000
\ntell you today to, you need to
\ndo this in your life and you <\/p>\n

593
\n00:37:11,000 –> 00:37:13,800
\nneed to do that your life.
\nAnd in every one of those things<\/p>\n

594
\n00:37:13,800 –> 00:37:19,700
\nthat I’m telling you, I do in
\nmine, but but I don’t, The Siege<\/p>\n

595
\n00:37:19,700 –> 00:37:24,800
\non could say that, you know,
\nwithout any hypocrisy at all. <\/p>\n

596
\n00:37:25,500 –> 00:37:29,600
\nYou know, I’ve, I’ve got a nice
\nsuits, I’ve got a car, I live in<\/p>\n

597
\n00:37:29,600 –> 00:37:33,000
\na better than average home.
\nYou know, I wish I could stand <\/p>\n

598
\n00:37:33,000 –> 00:37:35,500
\nup here and say, yeah, whatever
\nyou see me, do do the same <\/p>\n

599
\n00:37:35,900 –> 00:37:39,900
\nyourself but he could.
\nHe wasn’t asking any of us to do<\/p>\n

600
\n00:37:39,900 –> 00:37:43,800
\nwhat he hadn’t done himself,
\nshare your coat and share your <\/p>\n

601
\n00:37:43,800 –> 00:37:47,000
\nfood.
\nYou know, hearts hearts would <\/p>\n

602
\n00:37:47,000 –> 00:37:50,200
\nhave melted, the common people
\ncome up confident, they’ve just <\/p>\n

603
\n00:37:50,200 –> 00:37:53,000
\nwatched the Pharisees, get
\nblasted, this, we’re not like <\/p>\n

604
\n00:37:53,000 –> 00:37:56,700
\nthose guys, what would we do?
\nJohn and then they all look at <\/p>\n

605
\n00:37:56,700 –> 00:37:59,500
\nhis coat.
\nAnd they all look at his food, <\/p>\n

606
\n00:37:59,800 –> 00:38:03,300
\nthey think.
\nWell, now they have something to<\/p>\n

607
\n00:38:03,300 –> 00:38:06,700
\nthink about.
\nNow they have something to think<\/p>\n

608
\n00:38:06,700 –> 00:38:08,900
\nabout John.
\nDidn’t let anybody off easy. <\/p>\n

609
\n00:38:10,700 –> 00:38:12,500
\nAnd what he told, the common
\npeople that those are the only <\/p>\n

610
\n00:38:12,500 –> 00:38:16,900
\ntwo things we know about his
\nfood and what he ate. <\/p>\n

611
\n00:38:17,200 –> 00:38:18,600
\nSo they now have something to
\nthink about. <\/p>\n

612
\n00:38:18,600 –> 00:38:21,600
\nSo the common people as opposed
\nto the scribes the Pharisees. <\/p>\n

613
\n00:38:21,600 –> 00:38:25,400
\nThe common people are elevated,
\nif they could take that advice <\/p>\n

614
\n00:38:25,400 –> 00:38:28,200
\nand put it to practice, they
\nwould be elevated. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:38:29,600 –> 00:38:34,600
\nNow, who’s next?
\nClass number three, the <\/p>\n

616
\n00:38:34,600 –> 00:38:36,900
\npublicans now, these of course,
\nare the people. <\/p>\n

617
\n00:38:37,000 –> 00:38:40,500
\nThey are the Crooked places of
\nIsaiah chapter, 40, the all <\/p>\n

618
\n00:38:40,500 –> 00:38:44,000
\ntheir crooked dealings as tax
\ngatherers, and they’re going to <\/p>\n

619
\n00:38:44,008 –> 00:38:47,600
\nbe made straight, they’re going
\nto be smoothed over. <\/p>\n

620
\n00:38:47,600 –> 00:38:52,600
\nYou know, the tax system in that
\nday was was known as the farming<\/p>\n

621
\n00:38:52,600 –> 00:38:54,500
\nsystem and it was full of
\ncorruption. <\/p>\n

622
\n00:38:55,100 –> 00:38:58,500
\nYou had the treasurer in Rome
\nwho was at the head. <\/p>\n

623
\n00:38:59,400 –> 00:39:02,500
\nAnd he would say to his under
\nTreasurer, you look, I don’t <\/p>\n

624
\n00:39:02,500 –> 00:39:05,500
\ncare what you charge.
\nThis is my cut. <\/p>\n

625
\n00:39:06,500 –> 00:39:08,600
\nAnd then the under Treasurer
\nwould say to the under under <\/p>\n

626
\n00:39:08,600 –> 00:39:13,200
\nTreasurer, look, I don’t care
\nwhat you charge, but the Roman <\/p>\n

627
\n00:39:13,200 –> 00:39:17,000
\ntreasure needs this.
\nAnd I need this and well, <\/p>\n

628
\n00:39:17,000 –> 00:39:20,000
\nwhatever you charge is your
\nbusiness and then the under <\/p>\n

629
\n00:39:20,000 –> 00:39:23,900
\nunder Treasurer would go to the
\nMatthews and would go to the, to<\/p>\n

630
\n00:39:23,900 –> 00:39:26,500
\nthe Zacchaeus has and say, well,
\nthe Roman treasury wants this <\/p>\n

631
\n00:39:26,500 –> 00:39:28,500
\nand the undersecretary wants
\nthis and the under under <\/p>\n

632
\n00:39:28,500 –> 00:39:34,400
\nsecretary wants this and I don’t
\ncare what you get, but this is <\/p>\n

633
\n00:39:34,400 –> 00:39:36,600
\nwhat we need.
\nAnd so people You’ll like <\/p>\n

634
\n00:39:36,600 –> 00:39:39,400
\nZacchaeus and people like
\nMatthew had to charge exorbitant<\/p>\n

635
\n00:39:39,400 –> 00:39:43,200
\namounts just to get to get any
\nway to survive. <\/p>\n

636
\n00:39:43,300 –> 00:39:48,900
\nIt was called the farming system
\ncontrolled by the treasure in <\/p>\n

637
\n00:39:48,900 –> 00:39:51,100
\nRome.
\nThey had to charge incredible <\/p>\n

638
\n00:39:51,100 –> 00:39:53,100
\namounts which is why people
\nhated them. <\/p>\n

639
\n00:39:53,900 –> 00:39:56,200
\nYou know, I thank God that I’m
\nnot as other men, are <\/p>\n

640
\n00:39:56,200 –> 00:40:01,400
\nextortioners unjust adulterers
\nor even this public. <\/p>\n

641
\n00:40:02,000 –> 00:40:05,200
\nI mean, it’s hard to
\noveremphasize how much these <\/p>\n

642
\n00:40:05,200 –> 00:40:08,600
\nthese guys Tax Collectors were
\ndespised. <\/p>\n

643
\n00:40:08,800 –> 00:40:10,900
\nSo what does John say to them?
\nTaking. <\/p>\n

644
\n00:40:10,900 –> 00:40:17,700
\nLet them off easy.
\nVerse 13, Exact no more than <\/p>\n

645
\n00:40:17,700 –> 00:40:20,400
\nwhat is appointed.
\nYou that really hurt. <\/p>\n

646
\n00:40:21,100 –> 00:40:24,100
\nI mean, there’s there’s no place
\nthat you can hurt someone in the<\/p>\n

647
\n00:40:24,100 –> 00:40:26,200
\nworld more than hitting them in
\ntheir pocket. <\/p>\n

648
\n00:40:26,600 –> 00:40:29,600
\nEvery time you hear of a tax
\nincrease you, every time you get<\/p>\n

649
\n00:40:29,600 –> 00:40:31,500
\na bill in the mail, I mean it
\nhurts. <\/p>\n

650
\n00:40:32,400 –> 00:40:37,500
\nHe says If the taxes say, that’s
\nhow much you receive and that’s <\/p>\n

651
\n00:40:37,500 –> 00:40:43,400
\nwhat you receive only tax.
\nWhat you need, exact, no more <\/p>\n

652
\n00:40:44,200 –> 00:40:46,700
\nthan what is appointed to you.
\nI hope that would hurt because <\/p>\n

653
\n00:40:46,700 –> 00:40:51,300
\nyou see all the cream is gone.
\nAll the all the extra that that <\/p>\n

654
\n00:40:51,300 –> 00:40:54,600
\na tax collector would want.
\nThat’s all gone only tax. <\/p>\n

655
\n00:40:54,600 –> 00:40:56,100
\nWhat you need?
\nI mean, he may get a little bit <\/p>\n

656
\n00:40:56,100 –> 00:40:59,200
\nof commission, but all the
\ncream, all the extra money is <\/p>\n

657
\n00:40:59,200 –> 00:41:03,000
\ngone.
\nIf you follow that advice, you <\/p>\n

658
\n00:41:03,000 –> 00:41:08,700
\nlive paycheck to paycheck.
\nJust exact no more than what is <\/p>\n

659
\n00:41:08,700 –> 00:41:13,700
\nrequired.
\nYou only take what you need and <\/p>\n

660
\n00:41:13,700 –> 00:41:17,800
\nnothing more.
\nThat the rough places would have<\/p>\n

661
\n00:41:17,800 –> 00:41:19,600
\nbeen straightened out, wouldn’t
\nthey? <\/p>\n

662
\n00:41:19,600 –> 00:41:23,200
\nThe Crooked places they would be
\nstraightened out in the view of <\/p>\n

663
\n00:41:23,600 –> 00:41:28,600
\nthat advice you know one thing
\nthat impresses me every day Is <\/p>\n

664
\n00:41:28,600 –> 00:41:32,700
\nwhen Paul said the love of money
\nis the root of all evil, there <\/p>\n

665
\n00:41:32,700 –> 00:41:36,600
\nis not a crisis in this world,
\nthere is not a crime that is <\/p>\n

666
\n00:41:36,600 –> 00:41:39,400
\ncommitted.
\nThat does not have somewhere. <\/p>\n

667
\n00:41:39,400 –> 00:41:45,200
\nAlong the line to do with money.
\nMoney is at the bottom of every <\/p>\n

668
\n00:41:45,600 –> 00:41:49,100
\nill that we see in the world and
\nthat’s where John hit them. <\/p>\n

669
\n00:41:49,600 –> 00:41:52,700
\nExact, no more than what is
\nappointed. <\/p>\n

670
\n00:41:53,800 –> 00:41:56,700
\nExact no more.
\nThat would have really hurt. <\/p>\n

671
\n00:41:56,700 –> 00:41:58,700
\nI mean, these are already
\npeople, who are ostracize, <\/p>\n

672
\n00:41:58,700 –> 00:42:02,900
\npeople who are hated people who
\nmaybe need a needed a lift up in<\/p>\n

673
\n00:42:02,900 –> 00:42:08,000
\nlife.
\nHe said, you only take what you <\/p>\n

674
\n00:42:08,000 –> 00:42:11,400
\nneed even necessarily tell them
\nto give up their vocation. <\/p>\n

675
\n00:42:12,100 –> 00:42:18,900
\nHe said only take what you need.
\nBe content with what you have <\/p>\n

676
\n00:42:19,700 –> 00:42:22,900
\nthe crooks.
\nWere straightened out. <\/p>\n

677
\n00:42:24,000 –> 00:42:26,900
\nAnd you were the fourth class.
\nWas that came down of all people<\/p>\n

678
\n00:42:27,900 –> 00:42:32,500
\ndown, came the Roman soldiers,
\nand all their brutality, and as <\/p>\n

679
\n00:42:32,500 –> 00:42:34,400
\nthey sent their delegate, to
\nJohn, you know, the guy would <\/p>\n

680
\n00:42:34,400 –> 00:42:36,500
\nhave plunked his spear in the
\nground and say, what do we do? <\/p>\n

681
\n00:42:38,300 –> 00:42:40,500
\nIn a threatening manner.
\nHey you what do we do? <\/p>\n

682
\n00:42:41,500 –> 00:42:46,000
\nWhat do you have to say to us
\nthe John shrink back in fear? <\/p>\n

683
\n00:42:47,800 –> 00:42:52,700
\nJohn told them three things.
\nHe said do violence to no, man. <\/p>\n

684
\n00:42:54,400 –> 00:42:56,000
\nDon’t accuse.
\nAnyone falsely. <\/p>\n

685
\n00:42:57,600 –> 00:43:01,600
\nAnd be content with your wages.
\nNow, the three things really all<\/p>\n

686
\n00:43:01,600 –> 00:43:04,800
\nhave to do with one thing and
\nthat’s money. <\/p>\n

687
\n00:43:06,200 –> 00:43:08,900
\nDo violence to no, man.
\nWhat they would do is the Roman <\/p>\n

688
\n00:43:08,900 –> 00:43:12,700
\nrations were very, very small.
\nAnd so, what would they do to <\/p>\n

689
\n00:43:12,700 –> 00:43:15,600
\nmake extra money?
\nGet extra rations. <\/p>\n

690
\n00:43:15,600 –> 00:43:18,300
\nThey would threaten people.
\nThey would do violence to them <\/p>\n

691
\n00:43:18,400 –> 00:43:21,200
\nand take their rations.
\nHe says do violence to, no, man.<\/p>\n

692
\n00:43:22,700 –> 00:43:26,300
\nNewark use any man falsely.
\nIf they wanted to get in the <\/p>\n

693
\n00:43:26,300 –> 00:43:32,600
\ngood graces of a high-ranking,
\ngeneral or Legion in the Roman <\/p>\n

694
\n00:43:32,600 –> 00:43:36,400
\narmy, Legionnaire they go to him
\nand say, well he you know, so <\/p>\n

695
\n00:43:36,400 –> 00:43:40,500
\nand so is plotting against you
\nand there’s this there’s this <\/p>\n

696
\n00:43:40,600 –> 00:43:44,000
\naim to take down your position.
\nI’ll tell you all about it if <\/p>\n

697
\n00:43:44,000 –> 00:43:48,600
\nyou pay me.
\nAnd be content with your wages. <\/p>\n

698
\n00:43:48,800 –> 00:43:53,300
\nThe Roman soldiers did not make
\nvery much all three of those <\/p>\n

699
\n00:43:53,300 –> 00:43:56,900
\nthings actually have to do with
\none thing money. <\/p>\n

700
\n00:43:58,400 –> 00:44:00,700
\nBrothers and sisters.
\nHow much did John have in the <\/p>\n

701
\n00:44:00,700 –> 00:44:05,400
\nbank?
\nThink money worried him how <\/p>\n

702
\n00:44:05,400 –> 00:44:12,300
\nDiversified was his portfolio.
\nAre we content with our wages? <\/p>\n

703
\n00:44:14,800 –> 00:44:17,700
\nIf I was to tell you that,
\nyou’re going to get a 20% pay, <\/p>\n

704
\n00:44:17,700 –> 00:44:20,400
\ncut starting next month.
\nHow did you feel? <\/p>\n

705
\n00:44:22,100 –> 00:44:26,000
\n25% pickup.
\nThe 30% pick up. <\/p>\n

706
\n00:44:26,500 –> 00:44:30,300
\nHow would you feel?
\nWould you still be content? <\/p>\n

707
\n00:44:30,500 –> 00:44:32,700
\nIt’s one thing to say, I don’t
\nhave a problem with money when <\/p>\n

708
\n00:44:32,700 –> 00:44:34,900
\nyou got plenty.
\nBut what if what if someone <\/p>\n

709
\n00:44:34,900 –> 00:44:37,300
\nstarted sort of poking and
\nstarted taking more and they’re <\/p>\n

710
\n00:44:37,300 –> 00:44:39,900
\ntaking more?
\nNow, how would you feel? <\/p>\n

711
\n00:44:41,500 –> 00:44:43,900
\nBe content with what we have.
\nAnd I think what that means, at <\/p>\n

712
\n00:44:43,900 –> 00:44:46,100
\nthe end of the day, brothers and
\nsisters, is that we always live <\/p>\n

713
\n00:44:46,100 –> 00:44:49,300
\nwithin our means.
\nWe should always live within our<\/p>\n

714
\n00:44:49,300 –> 00:44:51,600
\nmeans.
\nWe don’t rack up credit cards. <\/p>\n

715
\n00:44:51,600 –> 00:44:54,400
\nYou know, we don’t spend beyond
\nwhat is necessary. <\/p>\n

716
\n00:44:54,900 –> 00:44:59,200
\nWe live within our means.
\nIf we’re a wife, we learn to <\/p>\n

717
\n00:44:59,200 –> 00:45:02,400
\nlive within our husband’s
\nsalary, we don’t spend Beyond it<\/p>\n

718
\n00:45:02,400 –> 00:45:07,300
\nor look for ways to get around
\nthe barriers that he is set. <\/p>\n

719
\n00:45:08,400 –> 00:45:12,900
\nWe’re content always with what
\nwe have. <\/p>\n

720
\n00:45:14,500 –> 00:45:17,500
\nJohn says, take the salary.
\nYou’ve been given Roman soldier <\/p>\n

721
\n00:45:18,500 –> 00:45:22,400
\nand be happy with that.
\nThe rough places were made <\/p>\n

722
\n00:45:22,400 –> 00:45:24,800
\nsmooth.
\nYou know, I wonder how you could<\/p>\n

723
\n00:45:24,800 –> 00:45:28,200
\nhave been a Roman soldier after
\nimplementing those three things.<\/p>\n

724
\n00:45:29,300 –> 00:45:31,000
\nI mean, I don’t know if you
\ncould, I mean, this is a verse <\/p>\n

725
\n00:45:31,000 –> 00:45:33,900
\nthat back in the days of the
\nVietnam War our Brethren would <\/p>\n

726
\n00:45:33,900 –> 00:45:36,900
\nbe getting hit with, you know,
\nsoon as you John doesn’t say <\/p>\n

727
\n00:45:36,900 –> 00:45:39,600
\ngive up their their job as
\nsoldiers, does he? <\/p>\n

728
\n00:45:40,100 –> 00:45:43,000
\nWell, if you put into practice
\nthat advice, I don’t know how <\/p>\n

729
\n00:45:43,000 –> 00:45:47,100
\ngood of a Roman soldier you’d be
\nbecause that was their lives. <\/p>\n

730
\n00:45:47,100 –> 00:45:53,100
\nThat was how they survived.
\nBut he smooth them over. <\/p>\n

731
\n00:45:53,600 –> 00:45:59,200
\nAnd so there is the summary,
\nevery Valley Shall be exalted, <\/p>\n

732
\n00:45:59,200 –> 00:46:01,900
\nthe common people were elevated
\nEvery Mountain and Hill. <\/p>\n

733
\n00:46:01,900 –> 00:46:06,400
\nThe scribes and the Pharisees
\nwere level, the Crooked places <\/p>\n

734
\n00:46:06,500 –> 00:46:10,900
\nwere made straight.
\nAnd the rough places plane or is<\/p>\n

735
\n00:46:10,900 –> 00:46:13,400
\nIsaiah 40 put it.
\nThe glory of Yahweh shall be <\/p>\n

736
\n00:46:13,400 –> 00:46:18,300
\nrevealed and All Flesh shall
\nbecome a like everybody’s on one<\/p>\n

737
\n00:46:18,300 –> 00:46:23,900
\nlevel after that exhibition. the
\ncrowd would have gone home, and <\/p>\n

738
\n00:46:25,400 –> 00:46:27,800
\nNot only would they’ve been
\nreally struck with what they <\/p>\n

739
\n00:46:27,800 –> 00:46:32,000
\nheard brothers and sisters, but
\nIt says in verse 15 that all men<\/p>\n

740
\n00:46:32,800 –> 00:46:38,300
\nmused in their hearts, whether
\nhe was the Messiah or not, if <\/p>\n

741
\n00:46:38,308 –> 00:46:41,100
\nyou’re thinking, oh boy, I hope
\nhe’s not the Messiah because if <\/p>\n

742
\n00:46:41,100 –> 00:46:44,900
\nhe’s the Messiah boy, have I got
\na clean up my life because his, <\/p>\n

743
\n00:46:45,000 –> 00:46:48,900
\nhis example was, so unhip a
\ncritical, everything he said he <\/p>\n

744
\n00:46:48,900 –> 00:46:53,200
\ndid in his own life.
\nNow you can imagine the common <\/p>\n

745
\n00:46:53,200 –> 00:46:56,500
\npeople, you know, heads down low
\nand thinking, well, you know, I <\/p>\n

746
\n00:46:56,900 –> 00:47:00,800
\nI really wanted a vacation and,
\nyou know, I really wanted to <\/p>\n

747
\n00:47:00,808 –> 00:47:04,200
\nlive in prosperity, like a
\nPharisee but, you know, I guess <\/p>\n

748
\n00:47:04,200 –> 00:47:06,300
\nit’s best that I share what I
\nhave. <\/p>\n

749
\n00:47:07,700 –> 00:47:09,900
\nThe Pharisees would have the
\nPharisees would have murdered in<\/p>\n

750
\n00:47:09,900 –> 00:47:11,500
\nthemselves.
\nYou know, who is he to call us <\/p>\n

751
\n00:47:11,500 –> 00:47:13,600
\nthose names in front of the
\npeople? <\/p>\n

752
\n00:47:13,600 –> 00:47:16,200
\nI mean, we came down here with
\nwith good intentions. <\/p>\n

753
\n00:47:16,200 –> 00:47:19,600
\nWe thought we were serious and
\nhe said all those things about <\/p>\n

754
\n00:47:19,600 –> 00:47:23,100
\nus about fleeing from the Wrath
\nto come and, you know, the <\/p>\n

755
\n00:47:23,100 –> 00:47:27,100
\npublicans would would go away.
\nAnd, you know, they’d say, well,<\/p>\n

756
\n00:47:27,200 –> 00:47:31,400
\nyou know, it’s one thing for him
\nto say, not to charge more but, <\/p>\n

757
\n00:47:31,400 –> 00:47:35,500
\nyou know, I’ve got to make a
\nliving and I’ve got to do what <\/p>\n

758
\n00:47:35,500 –> 00:47:37,200
\nI’ve got to do.
\nAnd well, the truth Maybe. <\/p>\n

759
\n00:47:37,300 –> 00:47:40,000
\nImportant and I may need to get
\ndown to my Bible study and I may<\/p>\n

760
\n00:47:40,000 –> 00:47:42,600
\nneed to go visit those who are
\nsick but you know I gotta earn a<\/p>\n

761
\n00:47:42,600 –> 00:47:46,800
\nliving too.
\nAnd if I do what he does, if I <\/p>\n

762
\n00:47:46,800 –> 00:47:48,900
\nplay it straight, then I’m not
\ngoing to get the things that I <\/p>\n

763
\n00:47:48,900 –> 00:47:52,000
\nwant.
\nAnd the soldiers might say, <\/p>\n

764
\n00:47:52,000 –> 00:47:54,800
\nwell, you know, it’s one thing
\nfor him to be living in a <\/p>\n

765
\n00:47:54,808 –> 00:47:56,500
\ndesert.
\nBut how can we do this <\/p>\n

766
\n00:47:56,500 –> 00:47:58,500
\noccupation?
\nIf we’re not violent, if I’m not<\/p>\n

767
\n00:47:58,500 –> 00:48:02,300
\nRoth, if I don’t, you know, mess
\npeople up and hurt them, then <\/p>\n

768
\n00:48:02,300 –> 00:48:06,500
\nhow can I make a dollar and it
\nall that, that really hurts. <\/p>\n

769
\n00:48:07,400 –> 00:48:09,200
\nSo, they’re all amusing in their
\nhearts. <\/p>\n

770
\n00:48:09,200 –> 00:48:14,400
\nWhether John is the messiah.
\nYou know why? <\/p>\n

771
\n00:48:14,400 –> 00:48:20,100
\nBecause all of them, Pharisee
\ncommoner Publican and Soldier <\/p>\n

772
\n00:48:20,100 –> 00:48:21,600
\nwould have to say in their
\nhearts. <\/p>\n

773
\n00:48:21,600 –> 00:48:24,200
\nFinally, that, however,
\ndifficult it may be for me, I <\/p>\n

774
\n00:48:24,200 –> 00:48:28,400
\ncannot say that guy’s a
\nhypocrite, What whence you out <\/p>\n

775
\n00:48:28,400 –> 00:48:31,400
\nto sea, ask the Lord, Jesus
\nChrist. <\/p>\n

776
\n00:48:32,200 –> 00:48:34,700
\nYeah, that tells us brothers and
\nsisters about the power of an <\/p>\n

777
\n00:48:34,700 –> 00:48:37,200
\nexample.
\nThe name of John became a <\/p>\n

778
\n00:48:37,200 –> 00:48:39,400
\nhousehold word all over the
\nworld. <\/p>\n

779
\n00:48:39,400 –> 00:48:42,900
\nAs we saw, in our opening point,
\nthey knew him in Asia, Minor, <\/p>\n

780
\n00:48:42,900 –> 00:48:45,100
\nthey knew him in Egypt, he was
\nall over the land. <\/p>\n

781
\n00:48:46,200 –> 00:48:49,000
\nNot because he broadcasted how
\ngreat he was but because of his <\/p>\n

782
\n00:48:49,000 –> 00:48:52,500
\nawe-inspiring example of
\nsingleness of mine, he lived <\/p>\n

783
\n00:48:52,500 –> 00:48:56,200
\nwhat he said.
\nNow do we if we say something, <\/p>\n

784
\n00:48:57,700 –> 00:48:59,800
\nDo we do it?
\nWe say we’re going to do <\/p>\n

785
\n00:48:59,800 –> 00:49:00,800
\nsomething.
\nIf we say, we’re going to <\/p>\n

786
\n00:49:00,808 –> 00:49:03,100
\nfulfill a commitment.
\nDo we do it or do we drag our <\/p>\n

787
\n00:49:03,100 –> 00:49:05,800
\nheels?
\nYou know, heads would have been <\/p>\n

788
\n00:49:05,800 –> 00:49:09,100
\nhung in shame on that day, but,
\nyou know, Luke doesn’t leave it <\/p>\n

789
\n00:49:09,100 –> 00:49:11,300
\nthere.
\nI’d like to finish with Verse <\/p>\n

790
\n00:49:11,300 –> 00:49:15,200
\n18.
\nYou know, the people would have <\/p>\n

791
\n00:49:15,200 –> 00:49:18,400
\nall gone away in their hearts
\nand all that hurt. <\/p>\n

792
\n00:49:18,400 –> 00:49:20,000
\nHow am I ever going to apply
\nthat? <\/p>\n

793
\n00:49:20,000 –> 00:49:23,600
\nBut that’s not all John did on
\nthat day. <\/p>\n

794
\n00:49:24,500 –> 00:49:28,000
\nWell, in verse 18, it says and
\nmany other things in his <\/p>\n

795
\n00:49:28,000 –> 00:49:31,700
\nexhortation preached.
\nHe unto the people I’d like to <\/p>\n

796
\n00:49:31,707 –> 00:49:35,700
\njust give that to you from from
\nthe dive lot and exhorting, many<\/p>\n

797
\n00:49:35,700 –> 00:49:40,200
\nother things.
\nHe proclaimed Glad Tidings. <\/p>\n

798
\n00:49:41,000 –> 00:49:46,200
\nUnto the people Glad Tidings
\nthat’s Isaiah 40. <\/p>\n

799
\n00:49:47,200 –> 00:49:50,400
\nUnto the people.
\nSo you pictured on John down <\/p>\n

800
\n00:49:50,400 –> 00:49:54,500
\nthere on the valley for he had
\nleft them with stinging, rebukes<\/p>\n

801
\n00:49:55,300 –> 00:49:59,000
\nadvice that that would have been
\nreally really hard to implement.<\/p>\n

802
\n00:49:59,000 –> 00:50:03,000
\nIt would have hurt.
\nI mean the be to tell the public<\/p>\n

803
\n00:50:03,000 –> 00:50:06,200
\nand you got to you got to only
\ncharge what is necessary and <\/p>\n

804
\n00:50:06,200 –> 00:50:09,800
\nwhat the system says would have
\nbeen very difficult. <\/p>\n

805
\n00:50:11,800 –> 00:50:14,300
\nYou’re telling the soldiers, you
\nessentially have to give up your<\/p>\n

806
\n00:50:14,300 –> 00:50:15,600
\njobs.
\nIf you want to survive, would <\/p>\n

807
\n00:50:15,600 –> 00:50:19,100
\nhave been very, very difficult.
\nBut, you know, the strength of <\/p>\n

808
\n00:50:19,100 –> 00:50:23,200
\nthat beautiful, golden voice
\ndidn’t just dwell upon the – he <\/p>\n

809
\n00:50:23,200 –> 00:50:25,900
\nalso went to the positive.
\nYou, he would have said to the <\/p>\n

810
\n00:50:25,900 –> 00:50:27,600
\nPharisees, he would have said to
\nthe people. <\/p>\n

811
\n00:50:27,600 –> 00:50:30,800
\nLet me tell you what the kingdom
\nof God is going to be, like he <\/p>\n

812
\n00:50:30,800 –> 00:50:33,700
\ngave them encouragement.
\nYes, yes, I know. <\/p>\n

813
\n00:50:33,700 –> 00:50:36,400
\nI’ve had some hard things to
\nsay, yes, I know I’ve had some, <\/p>\n

814
\n00:50:36,700 –> 00:50:39,700
\nsome difficult things to say,
\nbut, but let me tell you what <\/p>\n

815
\n00:50:39,700 –> 00:50:43,500
\nthe kingdom is going to be like.
\nSee, he gave them an incentive. <\/p>\n

816
\n00:50:44,900 –> 00:50:49,100
\nTo press on.
\nHe gave them motivation to <\/p>\n

817
\n00:50:49,600 –> 00:50:52,000
\ncontinue and you won’t stoop to
\nbark at people. <\/p>\n

818
\n00:50:52,100 –> 00:50:57,700
\nThey have its place.
\nWe have to supplement <\/p>\n

819
\n00:50:57,700 –> 00:51:00,100
\neverything.
\nWe say that’s hard with some <\/p>\n

820
\n00:51:00,100 –> 00:51:04,000
\nsites with some kind of
\nencouragement and make people in<\/p>\n

821
\n00:51:04,000 –> 00:51:07,100
\nour number feel like it’s worth
\ncarrying on like the kingdom is <\/p>\n

822
\n00:51:07,100 –> 00:51:11,300
\nworth fighting for otherwise
\nwe’ll never really change <\/p>\n

823
\n00:51:11,800 –> 00:51:15,100
\nanyone.
\nSo Verse 18 says there that, you<\/p>\n

824
\n00:51:15,100 –> 00:51:18,200
\nknow, yes, John had some hard
\nthings to say and we have some <\/p>\n

825
\n00:51:18,200 –> 00:51:21,400
\nhard things to say at times to
\nespecially in this age, where we<\/p>\n

826
\n00:51:21,400 –> 00:51:24,500
\ncan see the world making inroads
\ninto the Brotherhood. <\/p>\n

827
\n00:51:24,600 –> 00:51:27,100
\nYeah, we can see that that
\nthings are Challenging and we <\/p>\n

828
\n00:51:27,100 –> 00:51:29,500
\nhave to point out those
\nchallenges but but let’s make <\/p>\n

829
\n00:51:29,500 –> 00:51:33,400
\nsure that we’re also giving
\npeople a reason to carry on. <\/p>\n

830
\n00:51:33,900 –> 00:51:38,100
\nThat’s what John did with many
\nother things in his exhortation.<\/p>\n

831
\n00:51:38,100 –> 00:51:42,200
\nHe preached Glad Tidings unto
\nthe people. <\/p>\n

832
\n00:51:43,600 –> 00:51:47,100
\nYou know, it’s the Majestic and
\nPowerful expositions that have <\/p>\n

833
\n00:51:47,100 –> 00:51:51,200
\nchanged me.
\nFar more than getting a lecture <\/p>\n

834
\n00:51:51,200 –> 00:51:53,900
\nfrom someone.
\nYou know, it’s those positive <\/p>\n

835
\n00:51:53,900 –> 00:51:56,800
\nthings that we hear from the
\nword, even the most simple <\/p>\n

836
\n00:51:57,000 –> 00:52:00,500
\nexcerpt ations have been the
\nmost powerful because they <\/p>\n

837
\n00:52:00,500 –> 00:52:04,400
\nencouraged me that.
\nYes, it is worth going on. <\/p>\n

838
\n00:52:05,500 –> 00:52:07,500
\nSo what went ye out to see
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

839
\n00:52:07,500 –> 00:52:09,700
\nLook at those four classes.
\nPut yourself there. <\/p>\n

840
\n00:52:10,200 –> 00:52:13,400
\nHow are you going to apply that
\nadvice? <\/p>\n

841
\n00:52:14,900 –> 00:52:18,200
\nIt says, we lay in bed tonight
\nas we go to bed. <\/p>\n

842
\n00:52:18,500 –> 00:52:21,600
\nLet’s let’s try to get a mental
\npicture of that, of that day. <\/p>\n

843
\n00:52:21,600 –> 00:52:25,300
\nAs John is down there on the
\nvalley, floor exhorting, all of <\/p>\n

844
\n00:52:25,300 –> 00:52:29,000
\nthese people.
\nYou know, let’s let’s say in our<\/p>\n

845
\n00:52:29,000 –> 00:52:32,700
\nprayers before our God that we
\nwill try to make the most of the<\/p>\n

846
\n00:52:32,700 –> 00:52:35,200
\ntime that we have left.
\nLet’s take away those things <\/p>\n

847
\n00:52:35,200 –> 00:52:38,400
\nthat in our lives are not
\nnecessary. <\/p>\n

848
\n00:52:39,600 –> 00:52:41,100
\nTo say that, you know, I’m
\nsorry. <\/p>\n

849
\n00:52:41,100 –> 00:52:45,300
\nLord for the time that I’ve
\nwasted my life and I want to use<\/p>\n

850
\n00:52:45,300 –> 00:52:49,500
\nit better and grind on in this
\nWilderness and help me to make <\/p>\n

851
\n00:52:49,500 –> 00:52:54,000
\ntime to hear the voice, the
\nvoice that kings and queens and <\/p>\n

852
\n00:52:54,400 –> 00:52:57,200
\nand prime ministers and
\npresidents will never ever hear.<\/p>\n

853
\n00:52:57,900 –> 00:53:01,700
\nThat’s the wonderful voice of
\nGod’s word. and let me never <\/p>\n

854
\n00:53:01,700 –> 00:53:06,700
\ncease to be impressed with the
\npower of what I went out that <\/p>\n
