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

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

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

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
\n00:00:50,600 –> 00:00:52,100
\nthis week.
\nWe’re listening to an excitation<\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:52,100 –> 00:00:55,800
\nthat was given by Brother Frank
\nable back in 1998 at the <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:55,800 –> 00:00:57,900
\nIdyllwild.
\nBible school brother, Frank is <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:57,900 –> 00:00:59,800
\nfrom the Shelburne Ontario
\ncliche. <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:00,000 –> 00:01:03,100
\nCanada and this excitation which
\nwas given right at the end of <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:03,108 –> 00:01:05,600
\nthe Ottawa Bible school.
\nHe’s taking a look at the <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:05,600 –> 00:01:10,200
\nlessons from Rahab in the story
\nof Joshua and what I really <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:10,200 –> 00:01:12,800
\nappreciate about this is it’s a
\nreally good reminder for us. <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:13,300 –> 00:01:16,600
\nHe starts by talking about some
\nof the Ebbs and flows in faith <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:16,600 –> 00:01:20,800
\nthat we can feel in our lives
\nand takes lessons from Rahab and<\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:20,800 –> 00:01:23,900
\nhow that we can apply that.
\nSo that we can more whether <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:23,900 –> 00:01:27,100
\nthose Ebbs and flows as we live
\nour life, waiting for the return<\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:27,100 –> 00:01:29,200
\nof Christ.
\nI really appreciate. <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:29,200 –> 00:01:31,400
\nHe does away.
\nReally great job at looking at <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:31,400 –> 00:01:33,800
\nthe details of the story and
\npulls out, some really awesome <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:33,800 –> 00:01:36,000
\nnuggets that I’ll save for you
\nto discover when you listen to <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:36,000 –> 00:01:40,300
\nit, to be able to kind of put
\nyourself more in rehabs place <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:40,300 –> 00:01:44,700
\nand understand what was going on
\nboth for her for the spies and <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:44,700 –> 00:01:47,200
\nfor everything else.
\nIt’s a this expectation to me is<\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:47,200 –> 00:01:49,200
\njust a classic example of
\nunderstanding. <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:49,600 –> 00:01:52,200
\nWhat is really great about some
\nof the Sunday school lessons <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:52,200 –> 00:01:55,200
\nthat we’ve learned growing up
\nand how many details sometimes <\/p>\n

31
\n00:01:55,200 –> 00:01:57,900
\nwe can lose when we’re?
\nOtherwise just focused on the <\/p>\n

32
\n00:01:57,900 –> 00:02:01,100
\noverall story that just makes
\nthem More powerful as you dig <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:01,100 –> 00:02:04,500
\ndeeper and deeper into them.
\nAs always, thank you for <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:04,500 –> 00:02:08,400
\nlistening and for sending in any
\nsuggestions, I hope that you <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:08,400 –> 00:02:11,400
\nenjoy this excitation and find
\nit to be uplifting for your walk<\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:11,700 –> 00:02:13,400
\nwith that.
\nI will turn it over to our <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:13,400 –> 00:02:16,800
\nbrother, Frank able for his
\nexcitation entitled lessons from<\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:16,800 –> 00:02:21,100
\nrehab, good morning, brothers
\nand sisters and young people. <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:21,400 –> 00:02:26,500
\nWe At one final, time to open
\nour Bibles and to open our <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:26,500 –> 00:02:30,300
\nminds.
\nAnd to consider some things that<\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:30,300 –> 00:02:33,000
\nwill help us.
\nWe pray when we come down from <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:33,000 –> 00:02:38,300
\nthis mountain, I suppose there’s
\nnot too many young people here. <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:38,300 –> 00:02:41,700
\nHave the tendency to wake up
\nearly especially at bible <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:41,700 –> 00:02:46,600
\nschool, but some of the older
\npeople out of habit when they <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:46,600 –> 00:02:49,500
\nwake up in the morning, it’s
\nit’s very difficult to get back <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:49,500 –> 00:02:55,100
\nto sleep and sometimes there’s
\nreal benefits in noticing that <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:55,100 –> 00:03:00,200
\nthere is quite a time between
\nthe first rays of day and before<\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:00,200 –> 00:03:05,200
\nyou ever see the sun, When you
\nthink of it as a proportion of <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:05,200 –> 00:03:09,600
\nthe day, it’s quite a period of
\ntime which in various parts of <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:09,600 –> 00:03:13,000
\nthe world, of course varies.
\nBut in our part of the world <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:13,000 –> 00:03:16,400
\nwould be about 60 to 90 minutes
\nat this time of the year. <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:18,200 –> 00:03:23,200
\nNow, God has told us that there
\nare certain things to think of <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:23,200 –> 00:03:27,900
\nwhen we see things like that,
\nyou may not have thought of it <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:27,900 –> 00:03:33,300
\nthis way.
\nBut in Joel chapter 3, In verse <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:34,100 –> 00:03:40,500
\n1 and 2, he talks about the
\nreturn of the Jewish people from<\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:40,500 –> 00:03:47,100
\ncaptivity.
\nAnd he does say in those days in<\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:47,100 –> 00:03:52,000
\nthat time when I bring again,
\nthe Captivity of Judah and <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:52,000 –> 00:03:56,300
\nJerusalem, I will also gather
\nall nations and will bring them <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:56,300 –> 00:03:58,400
\ndown into the valley of
\nJehoshaphat. <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:00,200 –> 00:04:03,800
\nSo there are certain things
\nprophetically which are like the<\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:03,800 –> 00:04:09,300
\ndawning of a day.
\nThe first rays of the sun means <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:09,300 –> 00:04:12,700
\nsomething, the full sun means
\nsomething else. <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:13,600 –> 00:04:17,200
\nAnd it would seem to me that
\nthere were good reasons for our <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:17,200 –> 00:04:20,600
\nbrothers and sisters, quite
\npossibly a number of you here <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:21,300 –> 00:04:25,600
\nwho can remember back to the joy
\nand the excitement in our <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:25,600 –> 00:04:32,000
\ncommunity in 1947 and in a 48.
\nWhen finally Israel became a <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:32,000 –> 00:04:39,100
\nstate And Joel chapter 3.
\nWithout any doubt, we were now <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:39,100 –> 00:04:42,200
\nseeing the return of the
\nCaptivity of Judah and <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:42,200 –> 00:04:45,300
\nJerusalem.
\nObviously, there would be people<\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:45,300 –> 00:04:48,200
\nwho would have said, they could
\nhave seen those first rays of <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:48,200 –> 00:04:51,900
\nlight in 1917 sometime before
\nthat. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:52,400 –> 00:04:58,300
\nBut there was no question in
\n1948, that the first rays of <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:58,300 –> 00:05:02,800
\nlight were there, Now, the
\ncharacteristics of the first <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:02,800 –> 00:05:05,700
\nrays of light, till the actual
\nappearance of the sun is that <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:05,700 –> 00:05:08,900
\neverything becomes brighter and
\nbrighter. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:10,200 –> 00:05:14,200
\nYou can see more.
\nYou might guess that there could<\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:14,200 –> 00:05:17,200
\nbe some link between that and
\nwhat the Prophet Daniel said <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:17,200 –> 00:05:20,900
\nthat in the latter days,
\nknowledge would be increased. <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:21,500 –> 00:05:25,000
\nThat’s exactly what happens when
\nthe sun becomes Higher and <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:25,000 –> 00:05:28,100
\nHigher and almost comes to the
\nHorizon. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:28,400 –> 00:05:30,500
\nYou can see things you couldn’t
\nsee at night. <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:31,900 –> 00:05:35,900
\nSo the Brotherhood was looking
\nvery strongly for the time of <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:35,900 –> 00:05:40,100
\nthe Gathering of all Nations
\nbecause it tells us at that time<\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:40,300 –> 00:05:44,800
\nI will also gather all nations.
\nSo for some time now, there’s <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:44,800 –> 00:05:49,200
\nbeen high expectations in the
\nBrotherhood of the return of <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:49,200 –> 00:05:53,000
\nChrist.
\nThat yes, there may not be many <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:53,000 –> 00:05:58,000
\nmore times that we will break
\nbread together until he comes. <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:58,500 –> 00:06:01,600
\nAnd that’s the joy of our
\ncommunity. <\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:02,300 –> 00:06:06,500
\nThat’s what so often binds us
\ntogether when we leave the <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:06,500 –> 00:06:08,500
\nassembly that we are in this
\nmorning. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:09,000 –> 00:06:11,200
\nThat we may very well.
\nThe next time. <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:11,200 –> 00:06:15,500
\nSee each other at the calling
\ntogether of ourselves by the <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:15,500 –> 00:06:19,900
\nLord.
\nNow, what was interesting this <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:19,900 –> 00:06:23,000
\nyear we had a difficult time
\nwith the strawberries in the <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:23,000 –> 00:06:25,600
\nspring because we had some very
\nlate, Frost’s. <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:27,000 –> 00:06:29,600
\nAnd to deal with that, you have
\nto get up early in the morning <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:29,600 –> 00:06:34,600
\nat the earliest, you can see the
\nstrawberries, get the hoses out <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:34,600 –> 00:06:38,100
\nand wash the frost off the
\nactual berries. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:38,100 –> 00:06:41,600
\nThe frost doesn’t kill a plant
\nbut it does damage the fruit. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:42,400 –> 00:06:45,800
\nYou have a period of time to do.
\nThat is from the first light of <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:45,800 –> 00:06:49,100
\nday, when you can actually see
\nwhat you’re doing, till the sun <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:49,100 –> 00:06:52,900
\nrises, when the sun’s actually
\non the horizon and provides heat<\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:52,900 –> 00:06:56,400
\nto melt that ice itself, then
\nit’s too late to do anything. <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:56,400 –> 00:06:59,600
\nSo it’s it’s a unique period and
\nwe had a lots of time to think <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:59,600 –> 00:07:02,800
\nabout spiritual analogies this
\nyear because we had four nights <\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:02,800 –> 00:07:06,600
\nin a row in the first week of
\nJune when we had quite heavy. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:06,600 –> 00:07:14,600
\nFrost’s And I was thinking, I
\nwonder how typical it is that we<\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:14,600 –> 00:07:18,800
\ngo through this roller coaster
\nride between the first rays of <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:18,800 –> 00:07:22,900
\nlight and the actual Sun
\nappearing that people’s <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:22,900 –> 00:07:27,700
\nexpectations of the Lord Rises
\nand then it falls and it rises <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:27,700 –> 00:07:30,300
\nin it falls.
\nAnd you wonder, how many times <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:30,300 –> 00:07:32,900
\nyou can go through that before
\nyou get a little weary of the <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:32,900 –> 00:07:37,100
\nprocess and you get a little bit
\ncallous to the even the <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:37,100 –> 00:07:40,500
\nsuggestion that the law.
\nIs coming or is coming is near <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:40,500 –> 00:07:43,600
\nbecause we’ve been through this
\nscenario so many times. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:43,700 –> 00:07:46,400
\nIt just seems to be another one
\nof those times. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:47,600 –> 00:07:52,500
\nSo, in 1967, same people looked
\nat what was happening in the <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:52,500 –> 00:07:57,000
\nMiddle East Saw Jerusalem now
\nbecoming free, not totally, but <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:57,100 –> 00:08:01,000
\nbecoming free of Gentile
\ndomination and began to Rejoice <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:01,000 –> 00:08:04,600
\nagain.
\nBut nothing came of it and we <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:04,600 –> 00:08:08,500
\nhad to wait until 1973 before
\nsomething else significant <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:08,500 –> 00:08:13,200
\nhappened in the Middle East and
\nexpectations rose again and then<\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:13,200 –> 00:08:16,600
\nfell.
\nAnd then in 1989 the events in <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:16,600 –> 00:08:21,300
\nEurope and the brotherhood’s
\nexpectations again a rose and <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:21,300 –> 00:08:25,000
\nfell and then the Gulf War and
\nthere may be a number of other <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:25,000 –> 00:08:29,600
\ntimes like even this week being
\ntogether and being away from the<\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:29,600 –> 00:08:32,600
\ninfluence of the world and
\ntalking about these things are <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:32,799 –> 00:08:35,400
\nour expectations and our
\nfeelings, about the coming of <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:35,400 –> 00:08:40,299
\nthe Lord are probably high.
\nBut I wonder what they’ll be <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:40,299 –> 00:08:43,299
\nlike tomorrow.
\nAnd later on in the week, when <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:43,299 –> 00:08:47,500
\nwe get back into those grooves,
\nthat we came out of so happily <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:47,500 –> 00:08:52,400
\nat the beginning of last week.
\nWe have to deal with this <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:52,400 –> 00:08:56,500
\nbrothers and sisters this rising
\nand falling of expectations. <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:57,300 –> 00:09:00,700
\nThere, can’t be any question
\nthat when you see the first rays<\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:00,700 –> 00:09:06,400
\nof light, the sun will appear on
\nthe horizon being that way, ever<\/p>\n

136
\n00:09:06,400 –> 00:09:10,500
\nsince God created it, and he
\nguarantees that we’ll continue <\/p>\n

137
\n00:09:10,500 –> 00:09:13,200
\nthat day and night will continue
\nbefore him. <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:14,600 –> 00:09:17,800
\nSo we don’t doubt that there
\nwill be an appearance of the <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:17,800 –> 00:09:19,800
\nsun.
\nWe don’t doubt that our Lord <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:19,800 –> 00:09:24,400
\nwill come but we would sure like
\nto have a little more comfort as<\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:24,400 –> 00:09:28,000
\nto how to deal with the rise and
\nthe fall of the expectations. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:29,100 –> 00:09:31,500
\nWell, we need to go to the Bible
\nto get that comfort. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:32,800 –> 00:09:37,500
\nWe were here yesterday in class
\nand there’s one major example in<\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:37,500 –> 00:09:40,400
\nthe life of Rahab.
\nWe’d like to look at before we <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:40,400 –> 00:09:44,500
\nleave the subject in Hebrews
\nchapter 6, you may remember the <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:44,500 –> 00:09:50,900
\ntheme we were working on was
\nrevealed to us in verse 12 that <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:50,900 –> 00:09:56,200
\nyou’d be not slothful or lazy or
\nfall back into sort of the <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:56,200 –> 00:10:02,400
\nspiritual doldrums but followers
\nof them who through faith. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:10:03,000 –> 00:10:06,200
\nAnd patience, inherit the
\npromises. <\/p>\n

150
\n00:10:07,400 –> 00:10:09,900
\nNow it’s those two
\ncharacteristics we’re working on<\/p>\n

151
\n00:10:09,900 –> 00:10:12,800
\nit’s not as if they were all.
\nThere was we know that there are<\/p>\n

152
\n00:10:12,808 –> 00:10:16,500
\nonly two of many seven, other
\nfruits of the spirit, we need to<\/p>\n

153
\n00:10:16,500 –> 00:10:20,300
\ndevelop.
\nBut there are at least two main <\/p>\n

154
\n00:10:20,300 –> 00:10:26,100
\nthings we need at this time, in
\nour lives, faith and patience. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:27,000 –> 00:10:31,500
\nAnd we like to point it out in
\nthe life of this young lady <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:31,500 –> 00:10:36,000
\nRahab.
\nIt’s there’s four things, I <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:36,000 –> 00:10:41,200
\nthink in the life of that young
\nwoman that are remarkable, and <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:41,200 –> 00:10:43,600
\nif we can remember them around
\nthe four points, that will <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:43,600 –> 00:10:48,600
\ncertainly help us later on.
\nI’ve often wondered. <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:49,900 –> 00:10:52,600
\nWhen you consider Rahab
\nmentioned in the New Testament, <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:52,600 –> 00:10:57,700
\nit almost seems a slam on her to
\nfind her mentioned as Rahab. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:57,700 –> 00:11:02,500
\nThe Harlot, why would you ever
\nmention where a person came <\/p>\n

163
\n00:11:02,500 –> 00:11:05,500
\nfrom?
\nWhen you talk about them years <\/p>\n

164
\n00:11:05,500 –> 00:11:08,800
\nafter their conversion, why
\nwould you mention that? <\/p>\n

165
\n00:11:08,800 –> 00:11:10,700
\nThat’s where she was initially
\nfound. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:11:11,000 –> 00:11:16,400
\nSo, for instance, in James in
\nchapter two were, it’s a verse <\/p>\n

167
\n00:11:16,400 –> 00:11:20,600
\nabout commending, this young
\nlady yet, it still says Likewise<\/p>\n

168
\n00:11:20,600 –> 00:11:26,300
\nalso was not Rahab the Harlot
\njustified by works, when she had<\/p>\n

169
\n00:11:26,300 –> 00:11:28,800
\nreceived the messengers and had
\nsent them out another way. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:11:31,200 –> 00:11:35,500
\nWe can’t forget brothers and
\nsisters, how the gospel in that <\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:35,500 –> 00:11:40,000
\nextends out so far as to embrace
\npeople that maybe even we <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:40,000 –> 00:11:44,200
\nwouldn’t reach out to.
\nBut God as he reached out to the<\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:44,200 –> 00:11:47,400
\nApostle, Paul and he considered
\nhimself the chief sinner, <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:48,000 –> 00:11:50,200
\nbecause he had persecuted the
\nEcclesia. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:51,100 –> 00:11:54,400
\nThat’s the breath.
\nThat we must understand as well <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:54,400 –> 00:11:59,000
\nconcerning this young lady.
\nI don’t know for sure but you <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:59,008 –> 00:12:02,000
\nknow you wonder sometimes why
\nthe record mentioned certain <\/p>\n

178
\n00:12:02,000 –> 00:12:06,400
\nthings and it doesn’t
\nimmediately tell us But it does <\/p>\n

179
\n00:12:06,400 –> 00:12:09,400
\nsay that when she took the spies
\nup to the roof of her house, she<\/p>\n

180
\n00:12:09,400 –> 00:12:13,100
\ncovered them with flax of when
\nstalks of flax. <\/p>\n

181
\n00:12:14,400 –> 00:12:16,400
\nNow, I don’t know too much about
\nflax. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:12:16,400 –> 00:12:19,000
\nI haven’t really worked with it,
\nmuch on the farm, but we have <\/p>\n

183
\n00:12:19,000 –> 00:12:25,900
\nhad a little experience, and
\nflax is the kind of of a crop <\/p>\n

184
\n00:12:26,300 –> 00:12:28,500
\nthat after you get the seed out
\nof it, you’re pretty. <\/p>\n

185
\n00:12:28,500 –> 00:12:33,900
\nWe’ll have to burn it because
\nthe stock is so strong and so <\/p>\n

186
\n00:12:33,900 –> 00:12:37,900
\nlikely to entangle anything that
\nthat tries to rake it or bail it<\/p>\n

187
\n00:12:37,900 –> 00:12:41,600
\nor some some water, otherwise
\ndeal with it that most often in <\/p>\n

188
\n00:12:41,600 –> 00:12:43,900
\nour area.
\nPeople growing flax will burn <\/p>\n

189
\n00:12:43,900 –> 00:12:47,400
\nthe stocks.
\nWe do know however that the <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:47,400 –> 00:12:50,800
\nstocks are used in the
\nscriptures in another sense. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:50,900 –> 00:12:57,900
\nSo that we go to Revelation
\nchapter 19, It talks about <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:58,500 –> 00:13:06,400
\npeople who were clothed were
\nclothed in linen verse 8 to her.<\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:06,400 –> 00:13:11,100
\nThe bride was, granted that she
\nshould be arrayed in fine, linen<\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:11,600 –> 00:13:16,500
\nclean and white for the fine.
\nLinen is the righteousness of <\/p>\n

195
\n00:13:16,500 –> 00:13:20,400
\nsaints.
\nSo you see this flax in the <\/p>\n

196
\n00:13:20,400 –> 00:13:25,200
\ninitial stages of what could
\nbecome fine linen. <\/p>\n

197
\n00:13:26,100 –> 00:13:28,600
\nOr righteousness.
\nAnd it seems to me that that <\/p>\n

198
\n00:13:28,600 –> 00:13:32,400
\nunfolds a little bit about the
\nlife of this lady of how in the <\/p>\n

199
\n00:13:32,400 –> 00:13:35,200
\nlater part of the scriptures the
\nNew Testament, it keeps on <\/p>\n

200
\n00:13:35,200 –> 00:13:40,000
\nbringing back the idea of Rahab
\nthe Harlot, she covered the <\/p>\n

201
\n00:13:40,000 –> 00:13:45,900
\nspies with stalks of flax
\nunprocessed righteousness. <\/p>\n

202
\n00:13:46,100 –> 00:13:51,700
\nBut nevertheless The first stage
\nof it and so many people we find<\/p>\n

203
\n00:13:51,700 –> 00:13:55,200
\nin the scriptures when we first
\nsee them, they’re just in the <\/p>\n

204
\n00:13:55,200 –> 00:13:59,200
\nfirst stage of being called out
\nbecause God seen something in <\/p>\n

205
\n00:13:59,200 –> 00:14:03,700
\nthem that will mature into the
\nbride of Christ. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:14:04,000 –> 00:14:07,900
\nSo that that person can be
\nclothed with the fine linen is <\/p>\n

207
\n00:14:07,900 –> 00:14:13,000
\nthe righteousness of the Saints.
\nSo we see Rahab initially <\/p>\n

208
\n00:14:13,300 –> 00:14:15,700
\ndeliberately lying to cover up
\nthe fact. <\/p>\n

209
\n00:14:15,700 –> 00:14:19,500
\nShe had hid these spice.
\nWe see her as a harlot coming <\/p>\n

210
\n00:14:19,500 –> 00:14:21,900
\nout from the world.
\nThat’s where she was. <\/p>\n

211
\n00:14:22,100 –> 00:14:25,100
\nThat’s where many people that we
\npreach to our found today. <\/p>\n

212
\n00:14:26,300 –> 00:14:27,900
\nBut we don’t stop preaching to
\nthem. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:14:27,900 –> 00:14:30,800
\nWe don’t stop reaching out to
\nthem because that’s where they <\/p>\n

214
\n00:14:30,800 –> 00:14:34,500
\nstart.
\nIf in fact, God is drawing them,<\/p>\n

215
\n00:14:34,500 –> 00:14:38,200
\nthen they will respond to the
\ngospel message and I believe <\/p>\n

216
\n00:14:38,200 –> 00:14:40,800
\nthat is the point.
\nOne about the life of this <\/p>\n

217
\n00:14:40,800 –> 00:14:43,700
\nwoman.
\nShe represents the Gentiles. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:14:43,700 –> 00:14:47,400
\nThey weren’t found in the way of
\nrighteousness, but there was <\/p>\n

219
\n00:14:47,400 –> 00:14:50,400
\nsomething about them that
\nIllustrated that given the <\/p>\n

220
\n00:14:50,400 –> 00:14:55,100
\nopportunity, they would develop
\nthe final in the righteousness <\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:55,100 –> 00:14:56,800
\nof the Saints.
\nSaints. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:14:58,600 –> 00:15:03,700
\nNow, what is stated about this
\nperson is very brief. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:15:03,700 –> 00:15:06,500
\nWe have one chapter.
\nWe have a few comments on it <\/p>\n

224
\n00:15:06,500 –> 00:15:11,800
\nlater on but just really have
\nthe one chapter So as the <\/p>\n

225
\n00:15:11,800 –> 00:15:15,300
\nscriptures come to our Aid.
\nSo often with just the minimum <\/p>\n

226
\n00:15:15,300 –> 00:15:18,000
\nnumber of words but saying quite
\na lot. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:15:18,000 –> 00:15:23,400
\nOn those words we find her
\ncommended in verse 11 chapter 2 <\/p>\n

228
\n00:15:23,400 –> 00:15:30,700
\nof Joshua She says to the spies
\nthat in terms of what she had <\/p>\n

229
\n00:15:30,700 –> 00:15:33,900
\nheard because it does say that
\nverse 10. <\/p>\n

230
\n00:15:33,900 –> 00:15:38,800
\nWe heard how Yahweh dried up the
\nwater of the Red Sea for you. <\/p>\n

231
\n00:15:38,800 –> 00:15:42,400
\nWhen you came out of Egypt, and
\nwhat you did to, the two kings <\/p>\n

232
\n00:15:42,400 –> 00:15:45,600
\nof the amorites, which were on
\nthe other side, Jordan sihon and<\/p>\n

233
\n00:15:45,600 –> 00:15:51,100
\nOG whom you utterly destroyed.
\nAs soon as we had heard these <\/p>\n

234
\n00:15:51,100 –> 00:15:55,700
\nthings, our hearts didn’t melt
\nneither, did the In any more <\/p>\n

235
\n00:15:55,700 –> 00:16:02,000
\ncourage in any, man because of
\nyou for Yahweh, your God, he is <\/p>\n

236
\n00:16:02,000 –> 00:16:07,200
\nGod in heaven above and in Earth
\nbeneath. now, it’s that <\/p>\n

237
\n00:16:07,200 –> 00:16:10,700
\nDeclaration of this young lady,
\nwhich separated her, it would <\/p>\n

238
\n00:16:10,700 –> 00:16:17,200
\nseem from everybody else in
\nJericho, There was it would seem<\/p>\n

239
\n00:16:17,300 –> 00:16:22,400
\n99% of the people all melted.
\nBecame useless. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:16:23,200 –> 00:16:28,500
\nThere was no courage in them.
\nBut in this young woman what she<\/p>\n

241
\n00:16:28,500 –> 00:16:32,600
\nhad seen and heard, I should
\nshouldn’t say seeing because I <\/p>\n

242
\n00:16:32,600 –> 00:16:34,200
\ndon’t believe she ever did see
\nthis? <\/p>\n

243
\n00:16:34,300 –> 00:16:37,200
\nShe only saw it in the eye of
\nher mind. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:16:37,400 –> 00:16:40,900
\nIt was what she heard and what
\nshe made out of those details. <\/p>\n

245
\n00:16:40,900 –> 00:16:44,000
\nThat convinced her that Yahweh
\nmust be God. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:16:44,100 –> 00:16:48,300
\nSo she says, for Yahweh your
\nGod, he is God. <\/p>\n

247
\n00:16:49,000 –> 00:16:52,200
\nNow that’s the Declaration.
\nGod had tried to get out of the <\/p>\n

248
\n00:16:52,200 –> 00:16:55,500
\nJews.
\nIt go back to Deuteronomy in <\/p>\n

249
\n00:16:55,800 –> 00:17:00,500
\nChapter 4 and see what God
\nspecially did besides coming out<\/p>\n

250
\n00:17:00,500 –> 00:17:04,300
\nof Egypt to try to get the
\nJewish people to come to the <\/p>\n

251
\n00:17:04,300 –> 00:17:15,000
\nsame conclusion. so, he says,
\nInverse. 31 Deuteronomy, chapter<\/p>\n

252
\n00:17:15,000 –> 00:17:18,700
\n4 at verse 31.
\nMaybe will read verse 32, Port <\/p>\n

253
\n00:17:18,700 –> 00:17:21,700
\nconnection, when our and
\ntribulation and all these things<\/p>\n

254
\n00:17:21,700 –> 00:17:24,500
\nare come on.
\nThe even in the latter days if <\/p>\n

255
\n00:17:24,500 –> 00:17:27,599
\nthey’ll turn to Yahweh, thy God,
\nand shall be obedient unto his <\/p>\n

256
\n00:17:27,599 –> 00:17:31,200
\nvoice for Yahweh.
\nThy God, he is a merciful god, <\/p>\n

257
\n00:17:31,500 –> 00:17:34,600
\nhe will not forsake thee, nor
\ndestroy thee, nor forget the <\/p>\n

258
\n00:17:34,600 –> 00:17:36,800
\nCovenant of our fathers, which
\nhe sware unto them. <\/p>\n

259
\n00:17:37,500 –> 00:17:40,600
\nAnd he goes on to say, you ask
\nin the days that are passed. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:17:42,100 –> 00:17:47,100
\nAsk anywhere you like verse 33
\nwas there ever people that ever <\/p>\n

261
\n00:17:47,100 –> 00:17:51,100
\npeople hear the voice of God
\nwhich God had arranged for them.<\/p>\n

262
\n00:17:51,200 –> 00:17:55,400
\nSpeaking of the fire, as you
\nhave heard and Live Verse 34, <\/p>\n

263
\n00:17:55,900 –> 00:17:59,200
\nhad any other goddess Aid to
\ntake him a nation from the midst<\/p>\n

264
\n00:17:59,200 –> 00:18:03,300
\nof another Nation by Temptations
\nand signs and wonders and War <\/p>\n

265
\n00:18:03,500 –> 00:18:06,800
\nand by a mighty hand and by a
\nstretched-out arm and B great <\/p>\n

266
\n00:18:06,800 –> 00:18:08,400
\nTerrors.
\nAccording to all that Yahweh, <\/p>\n

267
\n00:18:08,400 –> 00:18:10,800
\nyour god did for you in Egypt
\nbefore your eyes. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:18:11,700 –> 00:18:15,300
\nUnto thee.
\nIt was showed that thou mightest<\/p>\n

269
\n00:18:15,300 –> 00:18:20,300
\nknow that Yahweh he is God,
\nthere is none else beside him. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:18:22,700 –> 00:18:24,400
\nNow God had done this for
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

271
\n00:18:25,900 –> 00:18:30,500
\nThey had the opportunity to walk
\nthrough the Red Sea and see the <\/p>\n

272
\n00:18:30,500 –> 00:18:33,000
\nwalls.
\nThe water on either side and <\/p>\n

273
\n00:18:33,000 –> 00:18:34,800
\nthink about it as they went
\nthrough. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:18:35,200 –> 00:18:38,400
\nGod did that for them so that
\nthey might come to that <\/p>\n

275
\n00:18:38,400 –> 00:18:41,900
\nconclusion, that Yahweh, he is
\nGod. <\/p>\n

276
\n00:18:44,100 –> 00:18:48,500
\nBut here Rahab without ever
\nseeing it only hearing it <\/p>\n

277
\n00:18:49,300 –> 00:18:52,700
\nbelieve the same thing, she came
\nto the same conclusion. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:18:54,000 –> 00:18:58,200
\nNow that can’t help but strike a
\nnote in you going right to the <\/p>\n

279
\n00:18:58,200 –> 00:19:01,200
\nNew Testament.
\nYou have a look at John chapter <\/p>\n

280
\n00:19:01,200 –> 00:19:07,200
\n20 verse 29.
\nThis was Thomas’s. <\/p>\n

281
\n00:19:08,900 –> 00:19:13,200
\nDeclaration.
\nTo of Jesus Christ, Thomas <\/p>\n

282
\n00:19:13,200 –> 00:19:15,800
\nanswered and said unto him, my
\nLord. <\/p>\n

283
\n00:19:15,800 –> 00:19:20,700
\nAnd my God after he had actually
\nput his his fingers into the <\/p>\n

284
\n00:19:20,700 –> 00:19:23,800
\nholes that were left in the body
\nof Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

285
\n00:19:23,800 –> 00:19:28,100
\nConcerning the, the crucifixion
\nbased on that Thomas was to say,<\/p>\n

286
\n00:19:28,100 –> 00:19:32,200
\nmy Lord and my God and Jesus
\nsaid unto him Thomas because you<\/p>\n

287
\n00:19:32,200 –> 00:19:35,800
\nhave seen me, you have believed
\nblessed? <\/p>\n

288
\n00:19:35,800 –> 00:19:38,200
\nAre they?
\nThat have not seen. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:19:39,300 –> 00:19:44,000
\nAnd yet have believed.
\nNow Rahab was the type of those <\/p>\n

290
\n00:19:44,000 –> 00:19:47,000
\npeople.
\nShe was a person who could by <\/p>\n

291
\n00:19:47,000 –> 00:19:52,300
\njust hearing perceived that this
\nmust be God, who could possibly <\/p>\n

292
\n00:19:52,300 –> 00:19:56,300
\ndo these great wonders and signs
\nexcept he be God. <\/p>\n

293
\n00:19:58,200 –> 00:20:00,200
\nThat’s what we’re trying to
\nstill in ourselves brothers and <\/p>\n

294
\n00:20:00,200 –> 00:20:01,700
\nsisters.
\nThat’s what we’re trying to <\/p>\n

295
\n00:20:01,700 –> 00:20:07,400
\ninstill in our children who can
\nmake that connection, that if <\/p>\n

296
\n00:20:07,400 –> 00:20:10,300
\nGod did those things, then he
\nmust be God. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:20:10,500 –> 00:20:14,900
\nAnd it was on the basis of that
\nthat this woman, then acted in <\/p>\n

298
\n00:20:14,900 –> 00:20:20,500
\nthe way of faith and she was
\naccepted when 99% who knows. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:20:20,500 –> 00:20:24,000
\nMaybe everybody else in Jericho
\nwas weak. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:20:24,600 –> 00:20:27,600
\nTheir hearts melted in them when
\nthey heard these things. <\/p>\n

301
\n00:20:28,400 –> 00:20:32,400
\nHere’s a young lady who is
\nfilled with faith who identifies<\/p>\n

302
\n00:20:32,400 –> 00:20:36,500
\ncompletely with that God and her
\nlife is so totally different <\/p>\n

303
\n00:20:36,500 –> 00:20:40,700
\nbecause of it.
\nNow, look at what she did. <\/p>\n

304
\n00:20:41,900 –> 00:20:45,600
\nThat was point, two point.
\nThree is look at what she did. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:20:46,100 –> 00:20:53,200
\nVerse 13, 12, and 13.
\nAgain, we have to rely on the <\/p>\n

306
\n00:20:53,200 –> 00:20:56,100
\ntext of the scriptures to tell
\nus the details. <\/p>\n

307
\n00:20:56,800 –> 00:20:59,300
\nThere’s nothing added, nothing
\nto be added. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:20:59,400 –> 00:21:03,500
\nNothing to be taken away.
\nJust look at what it says she <\/p>\n

309
\n00:21:03,500 –> 00:21:06,100
\nsaid.
\nNow, therefore, I pray you swear<\/p>\n

310
\n00:21:06,100 –> 00:21:09,900
\nunto me by Yahweh since I have
\nshowed you kindness that you <\/p>\n

311
\n00:21:09,900 –> 00:21:13,700
\nwill also show kindness unto my
\nfather’s house and give me a <\/p>\n

312
\n00:21:13,708 –> 00:21:19,000
\ntrue token that you will save a
\nlive, my father, my mother, my <\/p>\n

313
\n00:21:19,000 –> 00:21:22,800
\nbrethren, and my sisters.
\nAnd all that they have and <\/p>\n

314
\n00:21:22,800 –> 00:21:28,300
\ndeliver our lives from death.
\nAnd I thought, well, surely she <\/p>\n

315
\n00:21:28,300 –> 00:21:31,800
\nwould have said herself.
\nSave me. <\/p>\n

316
\n00:21:34,100 –> 00:21:36,100
\nDo you notice that’s not in that
\nrecord? <\/p>\n

317
\n00:21:36,900 –> 00:21:40,600
\nShe says, give me a true token
\nthat you will save my dad. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:21:41,300 –> 00:21:46,900
\nMy mom, my brothers and my
\nsisters and all that they have <\/p>\n

319
\n00:21:48,000 –> 00:21:51,700
\nAnd I think that’s a secret
\nbrothers and sisters of how to <\/p>\n

320
\n00:21:51,700 –> 00:21:58,100
\ngo about our life after we leave
\nthe mountain. if our life is <\/p>\n

321
\n00:21:58,100 –> 00:22:05,000
\nconsumed in trying to serve and
\nsave others, That very process <\/p>\n

322
\n00:22:05,600 –> 00:22:10,000
\nis how we save ourselves.
\nLike someone might say, well, <\/p>\n

323
\n00:22:10,000 –> 00:22:12,200
\nfirst thing you do is save
\nyourself and in the sense of <\/p>\n

324
\n00:22:12,200 –> 00:22:15,300
\nDoctrine we’d have that
\nadmonition from the scriptures <\/p>\n

325
\n00:22:15,300 –> 00:22:17,900
\nthat we save ourselves first.
\nSo we can save others. <\/p>\n

326
\n00:22:18,500 –> 00:22:21,900
\nBut when it comes to working it
\nout, when it comes to the mental<\/p>\n

327
\n00:22:21,900 –> 00:22:27,500
\nprocesses that drive us in our
\nlife, it was her desire, her <\/p>\n

328
\n00:22:27,500 –> 00:22:31,400
\nburning desire to save her dad,
\nand her mum to save her <\/p>\n

329
\n00:22:31,400 –> 00:22:36,100
\nbrothers, and her sisters, and
\nquite possibly her little nieces<\/p>\n

330
\n00:22:36,100 –> 00:22:40,700
\nand her little nephews.
\nThat was moving her to say these<\/p>\n

331
\n00:22:40,700 –> 00:22:44,900
\nthings.
\nShe wanted them saved knowing <\/p>\n

332
\n00:22:45,100 –> 00:22:47,900
\nthat as had been done to the two
\nkings on the other side of the <\/p>\n

333
\n00:22:47,900 –> 00:22:50,100
\nJordan.
\nSo they would do to Jericho, <\/p>\n

334
\n00:22:50,100 –> 00:22:54,500
\nthey would kill everybody.
\nNow, brothers and sisters, we’ve<\/p>\n

335
\n00:22:54,500 –> 00:22:56,400
\ntalked about this already this
\nweek. <\/p>\n

336
\n00:22:57,700 –> 00:23:00,600
\nBut if we’re really interested
\nin the life of our children, we <\/p>\n

337
\n00:23:00,600 –> 00:23:04,000
\ngot to set examples for them.
\nWe’ve got to show them the way <\/p>\n

338
\n00:23:04,900 –> 00:23:08,300
\ninstead of many times coming
\ninto the conflicts that we have <\/p>\n

339
\n00:23:08,300 –> 00:23:10,200
\nin the Ecclesia with how to do
\nthings. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:23:10,200 –> 00:23:14,700
\nTheoretically just to show
\npeople how to do it is the the <\/p>\n

341
\n00:23:14,700 –> 00:23:18,400
\nmore honorable The Higher Ground
\nwhich were called to in Christ <\/p>\n

342
\n00:23:18,400 –> 00:23:23,500
\nJesus.
\nSo Point number three, like the <\/p>\n

343
\n00:23:23,500 –> 00:23:28,700
\nLord Jesus Christ, who was
\nlaying down his life that we <\/p>\n

344
\n00:23:28,700 –> 00:23:33,000
\nmight live.
\nSo Rahab was risking her life <\/p>\n

345
\n00:23:33,000 –> 00:23:37,700
\nbetter family, might live.
\nAnd in both cases, God honored <\/p>\n

346
\n00:23:37,700 –> 00:23:40,800
\nthem so that they lived as well.
\nI mean, there’s wonderful <\/p>\n

347
\n00:23:40,800 –> 00:23:45,300
\nprinciples, involved in what
\ndrives people, what motivates <\/p>\n

348
\n00:23:45,300 –> 00:23:47,300
\npeople to do the things they do
\nin their life. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:23:49,000 –> 00:23:53,300
\nBut I tend to think the fourth
\npart of the life of Rahab is <\/p>\n

350
\n00:23:53,300 –> 00:23:56,100
\nwhat’s most benefit to us this
\nmorning. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:23:58,300 –> 00:24:00,400
\nNow you contemplate, this
\npresent sisters or what <\/p>\n

352
\n00:24:00,400 –> 00:24:03,900
\nhappened.
\nThe spies told her very <\/p>\n

353
\n00:24:03,900 –> 00:24:11,200
\nspecifically in verse 18 and 19.
\nWhen we come into the land, find<\/p>\n

354
\n00:24:11,200 –> 00:24:15,200
\nthis line of scarlet thread in
\nthe window, when did she do it? <\/p>\n

355
\n00:24:16,800 –> 00:24:19,500
\nIt seems to need that Rahab must
\nhave thought they were going to <\/p>\n

356
\n00:24:19,500 –> 00:24:22,700
\ncome back almost immediately.
\nSo it tells us just over in <\/p>\n

357
\n00:24:22,700 –> 00:24:29,100
\nverse in verse 21, according to
\nyour word Soviet and she sent <\/p>\n

358
\n00:24:29,100 –> 00:24:32,200
\nthem away and they departed and
\nshe bound the Scarlet line in <\/p>\n

359
\n00:24:32,200 –> 00:24:34,600
\nthe window as far as Rahab was
\nconcerned. <\/p>\n

360
\n00:24:34,600 –> 00:24:36,900
\nThere was not going to be any
\nquestion about whether she <\/p>\n

361
\n00:24:36,900 –> 00:24:40,800
\ncarried out her obligations as
\nsoon as they left, it was bound <\/p>\n

362
\n00:24:40,800 –> 00:24:45,000
\nin the window, ready for her
\nsalvation but they went on and <\/p>\n

363
\n00:24:45,000 –> 00:24:49,900
\nsaid You’ve got to bring your
\nfather, your mother, your <\/p>\n

364
\n00:24:49,900 –> 00:24:54,400
\nbrother, and all your father’s
\nhousehold home to You Verse 18, <\/p>\n

365
\n00:24:54,400 –> 00:24:56,900
\nverse 19.
\nIt shall be, that whosoever <\/p>\n

366
\n00:24:56,900 –> 00:25:00,400
\nshall go out of the doors of
\nyour house into the street. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:25:00,700 –> 00:25:03,300
\nHis blood shall be upon his head
\nand we will be Guiltless <\/p>\n

368
\n00:25:04,000 –> 00:25:05,900
\nwhosoever shall be with the in
\nthe house. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:25:05,900 –> 00:25:09,300
\nHis blood shall be on our head
\nif any man be a if any hand be <\/p>\n

370
\n00:25:09,308 –> 00:25:14,800
\nupon him Further verse 20, if
\nyou alter this our business, <\/p>\n

371
\n00:25:15,000 –> 00:25:17,700
\nthen we will be quit of thine
\noath, which thou Hast made us to<\/p>\n

372
\n00:25:17,700 –> 00:25:22,000
\nswear.
\nSo Rahab was bound, just like, <\/p>\n

373
\n00:25:22,100 –> 00:25:25,300
\nit seems with the Scarlet thread
\nto get it in the window as soon <\/p>\n

374
\n00:25:25,300 –> 00:25:29,100
\nas possible to go to her father
\nand her mother, which probably <\/p>\n

375
\n00:25:29,100 –> 00:25:32,300
\nwere not in her house and her
\nbrothers and her sisters and to <\/p>\n

376
\n00:25:32,300 –> 00:25:34,400
\nbring them to that house on the
\nwall. <\/p>\n

377
\n00:25:34,500 –> 00:25:35,800
\nAnd to tell them they had to
\nstay there. <\/p>\n

378
\n00:25:35,800 –> 00:25:40,200
\nThey could not go out.
\nAnd don’t tell anybody about <\/p>\n

379
\n00:25:40,200 –> 00:25:42,700
\nwhat we’re doing.
\nYou just think about how she <\/p>\n

380
\n00:25:42,700 –> 00:25:44,600
\ncould have possibly carried this
\nout. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:25:45,600 –> 00:25:48,300
\nShe had no idea of how long it
\nwould take you. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:25:48,300 –> 00:25:51,500
\nAdd up the days that are in the
\nscriptures and you come up with <\/p>\n

383
\n00:25:51,500 –> 00:25:57,000
\nat least two weeks, at least two
\nweeks later before they came up <\/p>\n

384
\n00:25:57,000 –> 00:25:59,300
\nin the walls, actually fell and
\nshe was saved. <\/p>\n

385
\n00:25:59,800 –> 00:26:02,800
\nIt would seem to me by how
\nquickly she put the Scarlet line<\/p>\n

386
\n00:26:02,800 –> 00:26:05,900
\nin the window that she must have
\ncalled her family together and <\/p>\n

387
\n00:26:05,900 –> 00:26:08,300
\ntold them right away.
\nYou can’t leave the house. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:26:10,900 –> 00:26:12,800
\nBut not knowing it would take
\ntwo weeks. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:26:13,200 –> 00:26:15,500
\nI’ve often wondered, did she
\ntake enough food? <\/p>\n

390
\n00:26:17,400 –> 00:26:20,600
\nDid you take enough water to
\nlast two weeks? <\/p>\n

391
\n00:26:24,200 –> 00:26:27,500
\nYou must wonder what the
\nexcitement that they had when <\/p>\n

392
\n00:26:27,500 –> 00:26:32,300
\nthey first saw Israel.
\nComing towards the city and the <\/p>\n

393
\n00:26:32,300 –> 00:26:36,000
\nArmy may have been 40,000 of
\nthem that would came first <\/p>\n

394
\n00:26:36,000 –> 00:26:38,100
\nbefore the ark and marched
\naround. <\/p>\n

395
\n00:26:38,100 –> 00:26:41,500
\nTotally silent, except for the
\nblowing of those horns, by the <\/p>\n

396
\n00:26:41,500 –> 00:26:44,100
\npriests who wouldn’t have any
\nidea of what was going to <\/p>\n

397
\n00:26:44,100 –> 00:26:46,100
\nhappen.
\nThere was no suggestion that the<\/p>\n

398
\n00:26:46,100 –> 00:26:48,800
\ntwo spies knew how that City
\nwould be taken. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:26:48,800 –> 00:26:52,800
\nIt’s only revealed later on, So
\nshe wouldn’t have known what was<\/p>\n

400
\n00:26:52,800 –> 00:26:55,800
\ngoing on, but she had been
\nconvinced. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:26:55,800 –> 00:26:58,900
\nShe had convinced her dad her
\nmom her, brother’s her sisters <\/p>\n

402
\n00:26:58,900 –> 00:27:02,200
\nto get into this house and stay
\nthere and don’t dare go out of <\/p>\n

403
\n00:27:02,200 –> 00:27:06,100
\nthat door.
\nAnd with possibly the rations <\/p>\n

404
\n00:27:06,100 –> 00:27:09,600
\nand the house running short
\npossibly being on the wall, <\/p>\n

405
\n00:27:09,600 –> 00:27:12,700
\nthere would be other problems
\nyou think of the sanitation <\/p>\n

406
\n00:27:12,700 –> 00:27:14,100
\nproblems they would have in that
\nhouse. <\/p>\n

407
\n00:27:15,800 –> 00:27:20,700
\nAnd they saw the army’s coming.
\nAnd they walked around the house<\/p>\n

408
\n00:27:20,700 –> 00:27:23,800
\nor what around the city and they
\nwent back to their camp and <\/p>\n

409
\n00:27:23,800 –> 00:27:27,300
\nnothing happened.
\nYou see the expectations were <\/p>\n

410
\n00:27:27,300 –> 00:27:31,900
\nraised.
\nAnd they fell under difficult <\/p>\n

411
\n00:27:31,900 –> 00:27:34,600
\nsituations.
\nMaybe not enough food enough <\/p>\n

412
\n00:27:34,600 –> 00:27:37,900
\nwater, cramped conditions, no
\none can leave the house. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:27:39,300 –> 00:27:43,500
\nBoy, that lady must have had
\ntremendous power over the rest <\/p>\n

414
\n00:27:43,500 –> 00:27:46,500
\nof the family often thought
\nabout whether one of my <\/p>\n

415
\n00:27:46,500 –> 00:27:49,600
\ndaughter’s could ever come into
\nour house and have such an <\/p>\n

416
\n00:27:49,600 –> 00:27:52,400
\ninfluence on all of us.
\nLike, it doesn’t mention <\/p>\n

417
\n00:27:52,500 –> 00:27:53,300
\nfaithful.
\nDad. <\/p>\n

418
\n00:27:53,300 –> 00:27:56,100
\nOr faithful, mom, or faithful,
\nBrothers, our sisters. <\/p>\n

419
\n00:27:56,100 –> 00:28:00,800
\nIt only talks about her.
\nSo she’s calling the shots at <\/p>\n

420
\n00:28:00,800 –> 00:28:04,400
\ninfluencing the family.
\nSo, the next day they come and <\/p>\n

421
\n00:28:04,400 –> 00:28:07,700
\neverybody now is thinking, well,
\nI guess they were just looking <\/p>\n

422
\n00:28:07,700 –> 00:28:10,100
\nout over the city, the first I’m
\nin wanted to see where the <\/p>\n

423
\n00:28:10,100 –> 00:28:12,300
\nweaknesses were.
\nSo they all come around the <\/p>\n

424
\n00:28:12,300 –> 00:28:15,000
\ncity.
\nAgain, silent, except for these <\/p>\n

425
\n00:28:15,000 –> 00:28:17,400
\npriests blowing, the horns.
\nNo one can figure out what’s <\/p>\n

426
\n00:28:17,400 –> 00:28:21,100
\ngoing on.
\nAnd again, they disappear, they <\/p>\n

427
\n00:28:21,100 –> 00:28:24,200
\ndisappear because imagine the
\nquestioning that may have went <\/p>\n

428
\n00:28:24,200 –> 00:28:25,800
\non in that house.
\nThe brothers and sister, you <\/p>\n

429
\n00:28:25,800 –> 00:28:28,700
\nreally think you know what’s
\ngoing on here, and let’s just go<\/p>\n

430
\n00:28:28,700 –> 00:28:32,400
\nthrough this story once once
\nmore, we’re not to leave the <\/p>\n

431
\n00:28:32,400 –> 00:28:34,700
\nhouse, we’ve got to stay in
\nhere. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:28:34,700 –> 00:28:37,400
\nNobody can say anything to
\nanyone about what’s going on. <\/p>\n

433
\n00:28:39,200 –> 00:28:43,100
\nThen the third day.
\nThen the fourth day. <\/p>\n

434
\n00:28:44,600 –> 00:28:47,700
\nThen the fifth day you would
\nthink it might have been a <\/p>\n

435
\n00:28:47,708 –> 00:28:50,100
\nlaughing stock at that stage
\nwhere people were starting to <\/p>\n

436
\n00:28:50,100 –> 00:28:53,900
\nmock her in the house.
\nI doubt it myself but you can <\/p>\n

437
\n00:28:53,900 –> 00:28:55,800
\nsee that human nature being what
\nit is. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:28:56,200 –> 00:28:58,600
\nNow, here’s the fifth time.
\nThese people are coming marching<\/p>\n

439
\n00:28:58,600 –> 00:29:02,300
\naround that what is going on,
\nbut he stands and they don’t <\/p>\n

440
\n00:29:02,300 –> 00:29:05,500
\ntake the city.
\nAnd then, finally, the seventh <\/p>\n

441
\n00:29:05,500 –> 00:29:09,000
\nday I think God does put us
\nthrough, trials, brothers, and <\/p>\n

442
\n00:29:09,000 –> 00:29:13,100
\nsisters.
\nIt’s through faith and patience.<\/p>\n

443
\n00:29:13,800 –> 00:29:17,400
\nWe inherit the promises.
\nIt’s looking to people like <\/p>\n

444
\n00:29:17,400 –> 00:29:22,700
\nRahab that when our expectations
\nrise and fall we remember what <\/p>\n

445
\n00:29:22,700 –> 00:29:26,900
\nit must have been like in that
\nhouse with the limited rations, <\/p>\n

446
\n00:29:27,600 –> 00:29:30,200
\nwith the sanitary conditions,
\nthat would have been there. <\/p>\n

447
\n00:29:30,300 –> 00:29:34,200
\nAll those people in this house
\non the wall all that time. <\/p>\n

448
\n00:29:35,800 –> 00:29:39,400
\nYet, the Scarlet thread was in
\nthe window and she Faithfully <\/p>\n

449
\n00:29:39,400 –> 00:29:43,900
\nheld on not knowing how long it
\nwould be before the city walls <\/p>\n

450
\n00:29:44,100 –> 00:29:48,000
\nwould finally come down.
\nI think it is a tremendous <\/p>\n

451
\n00:29:48,100 –> 00:29:53,500
\ncredit to the faith and patience
\nof Rahab as it is attested to in<\/p>\n

452
\n00:29:53,500 –> 00:29:58,000
\nboth James and Hebrews that this
\nwoman was able to influence her <\/p>\n

453
\n00:29:58,000 –> 00:30:00,400
\nhousehold not to go out
\ndiscipline. <\/p>\n

454
\n00:30:00,400 –> 00:30:04,300
\nIt would seem did not break down
\nThey were all there when the <\/p>\n

455
\n00:30:04,300 –> 00:30:07,300
\nwalls fell and they came in to
\ntake her out of that City. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:30:08,100 –> 00:30:10,600
\nHave a look at Joshua 6, verse
\n20. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:30:13,600 –> 00:30:16,600
\nSo the people shouted when the
\npriests blue with the trumpets <\/p>\n

458
\n00:30:16,700 –> 00:30:19,000
\nand it came to pass, when the
\npeople heard the sound of the <\/p>\n

459
\n00:30:19,000 –> 00:30:22,400
\ntrumpet and the people shouted,
\nwith a great shout that the wall<\/p>\n

460
\n00:30:22,400 –> 00:30:25,700
\nfell down flat.
\nSo the people went up into the <\/p>\n

461
\n00:30:25,700 –> 00:30:30,100
\ncity, every man straight before
\nhim, and they took the city, and<\/p>\n

462
\n00:30:30,100 –> 00:30:34,100
\nthey utterly destroyed, all that
\nwas in the city, both men and <\/p>\n

463
\n00:30:34,100 –> 00:30:38,100
\nwomen, young, and old ox, and
\nsheep and ass with the edge of <\/p>\n

464
\n00:30:38,100 –> 00:30:41,200
\nthe sword.
\nBut Joshua had said unto the two<\/p>\n

465
\n00:30:41,200 –> 00:30:42,900
\nmen that had spite of the
\ncountry. <\/p>\n

466
\n00:30:43,100 –> 00:30:44,800
\nGo.
\nDo the harlots house and bring <\/p>\n

467
\n00:30:44,800 –> 00:30:48,500
\nout fence the woman and all that
\nshe have as you swear unto her, <\/p>\n

468
\n00:30:49,100 –> 00:30:52,500
\nand the young men that were
\nspies went in and brought out <\/p>\n

469
\n00:30:52,500 –> 00:30:57,900
\nRahab and her father, and her
\nmother, and her brother and and <\/p>\n

470
\n00:30:58,000 –> 00:31:01,000
\nall that she had.
\nAnd they brought out all her <\/p>\n

471
\n00:31:01,000 –> 00:31:04,800
\nKindred, all her family’s, the
\nmargin says, and left them <\/p>\n

472
\n00:31:04,800 –> 00:31:07,700
\nwithout the camp of Israel.
\nAnd they burnt the city with <\/p>\n

473
\n00:31:07,700 –> 00:31:10,700
\nfire and all that was there in
\nonly the silver and the gold in <\/p>\n

474
\n00:31:10,700 –> 00:31:13,200
\nthe vessels of brass and iron.
\nThey put into the treasury. <\/p>\n

475
\n00:31:13,400 –> 00:31:18,800
\nOf the House of Yahweh and
\nJoshua saved, Rahab the Harlot <\/p>\n

476
\n00:31:18,800 –> 00:31:22,700
\nalive, and her father’s
\nhousehold and all that she had. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:31:23,000 –> 00:31:26,700
\nAnd she dwelleth in Israel even
\nunto this day because she hid <\/p>\n

478
\n00:31:26,700 –> 00:31:30,700
\nThe Messengers which Joshua sent
\nto spy out Jericho. <\/p>\n

479
\n00:31:32,300 –> 00:31:34,600
\nWhen we leave this mountain
\nbrothers and sisters in your <\/p>\n

480
\n00:31:34,600 –> 00:31:38,600
\nfaith wavers.
\nJust remember this case. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:31:40,000 –> 00:31:44,900
\nOf the rising and the falling of
\nexpectations of the faith. <\/p>\n

482
\n00:31:44,900 –> 00:31:48,200
\nAnd the patience of this
\nremarkable young woman who was <\/p>\n

483
\n00:31:48,200 –> 00:31:53,600
\nable to influence all her family
\nto be faithful unto the end for <\/p>\n

484
\n00:31:53,600 –> 00:31:58,700
\nit, is through the faith and the
\npatients that we develop that <\/p>\n

485
\n00:31:58,700 –> 00:32:01,700
\nthe Lord will surely come and
\nfind us waiting. <\/p>\n
