00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.879
 Father God, as we have gone through this series on your self-revelation throughout history,

00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:14.400
 we pray that we would heed the warning of Israel who listened to you,

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:21.160
 even delighted to listen to you, and yet ignored what you said.

00:00:22.140 --> 00:00:26.960
 So as we come to your word now, we ask, Father, that you would, by your spirit,

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:34.939
 help us to see it as light and truth and hope, and that we would be motivated to obey it.

00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:37.799
 And we ask it for your sake. Amen.

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:52.260
 On the eve of Operation Desert Storm in January 1991, President Bush Sr. said it was America's responsibility

00:00:52.259 --> 00:00:57.939
 to protecuate because we are the leaders of the world.

00:00:59.939 --> 00:01:01.500
 Fairly arrogant thing to say, really.

00:01:02.099 --> 00:01:04.500
 Typically American, but fairly arrogant thing to say.

00:01:05.379 --> 00:01:12.000
 Because they were on the winning side of World War II, they were the economic powerhouse of the world,

00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.219
 they've got Hollywood and Arnold Schwarzenegger,

00:01:14.219 --> 00:01:20.079
 in their arrogance, they just assumed that they would always be on top of the world,

00:01:20.179 --> 00:01:23.319
 that they would always be right and that they are always victorious.

00:01:24.659 --> 00:01:30.920
 The fact is, though, that they'd only been a major world player for around about 80, 90 years.

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.120
 In that time, they'd been defeated in Vietnam,

00:01:35.859 --> 00:01:38.640
 been sorely bruised in Korea and Somalia,

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.159
 and now in Iraq and Afghanistan.

00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:46.239
 Yet, in their arrogance, they think they will never be defeated,

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:48.280
 they will always be on top of the world.

00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:49.479
 Why?

00:01:50.739 --> 00:01:54.459
 It's got to be linked to the thought that God is on our side

00:01:54.459 --> 00:01:56.939
 as we battle the forces of evil.

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.000
 If you've ever visited America, you'll know what I mean.

00:02:01.299 --> 00:02:04.939
 The first thing you encounter when going into the United States

00:02:04.939 --> 00:02:08.060
 is US customs, homeland security.

00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:12.140
 They're the guys dressed up in black paramilitary stuff

00:02:12.140 --> 00:02:14.900
 with bulletproof vests and guns.

00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:19.560
 They're the guys who wanted to go to Iraq but got given a desk job instead.

00:02:20.620 --> 00:02:23.099
 And so they are looking for someone to shoot.

00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:31.939
 I remember coming one day from Canada into the United States.

00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.039
 Must be the riskiest border in the world.

00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:40.840
 And I was going in with someone with an Australian passport,

00:02:41.079 --> 00:02:42.060
 also a couple of people.

00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:43.599
 One person with an American passport,

00:02:43.819 --> 00:02:45.500
 two others with Australian passports.

00:02:46.060 --> 00:02:48.299
 And one of them needed to get the green card.

00:02:48.300 --> 00:02:53.060
 And so we pulled in, hopped out of the car, went in and stood in line.

00:02:53.880 --> 00:02:58.800
 One person stepped over the yellow line accidentally,

00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:01.219
 was just standing on the wrong side of the yellow line.

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.360
 And the customs guy comes right up into his face and says,

00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:06.160
 back off over the line.

00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.540
 It's like, whoa, we're in a major security risk area here.

00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.820
 Another person was standing in the line.

00:03:13.819 --> 00:03:20.400
 We were standing there for 45 minutes and the line didn't go anywhere in 45 minutes.

00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:25.560
 And there was a man dressed up in a suit heading down into the US.

00:03:26.340 --> 00:03:29.120
 And as the customs guy walked along the line, he said to him,

00:03:29.180 --> 00:03:32.379
 excuse me, sir, how long will this take?

00:03:33.259 --> 00:03:35.519
 And he said, how long are you expecting to live?

00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:42.080
 And he said, well, I don't really know,

00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.820
 but this seems to be taking a while.

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:51.920
 And he said to him, that's the price you pay to come to the United States.

00:03:56.260 --> 00:04:00.200
 And of course, he comes to me and I whip out my Australian passport.

00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.660
 Coalition of the willing, coalition of the willing.

00:04:02.660 --> 00:04:02.760
 Coalition of the willing.

00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.640
 The US has little reason for its arrogance,

00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:12.320
 but by the time of the monarchy in Israel,

00:04:12.880 --> 00:04:14.320
 they did have good reason.

00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:17.740
 With the promised land and the temple and the Ark of the King,

00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:21.500
 Israel had been on top for over a thousand years.

00:04:22.460 --> 00:04:24.120
 Their history was pretty impressive.

00:04:24.300 --> 00:04:28.199
 We started this series on the kingdom of God back in the book of Genesis,

00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:29.060
 right at the beginning.

00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:32.639
 And the framework for understanding the kingdom of God

00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.620
 and therefore the kingdom of Israel was established in the garden.

00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:41.539
 God's people in God's special place under the rule of God.

00:04:41.740 --> 00:04:45.039
 And God ruled them through his mighty word.

00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:51.719
 Genesis 3, however, reveals rebellion against God's word and his rule.

00:04:52.180 --> 00:04:52.719
 It's sin.

00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.120
 It's people who have no right to rule,

00:04:55.479 --> 00:04:57.959
 rising up against the one who has the right to rule,

00:04:58.139 --> 00:05:00.339
 ignoring his word and doing their own thing.

00:05:00.339 --> 00:05:07.500
 And the outcome is expulsion from God's presence and everything is cursed.

00:05:08.599 --> 00:05:10.819
 The good news is, we discovered very quickly,

00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.599
 that God has not abandoned his world.

00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.319
 He even gives Adam and Eve a very small glimpse there

00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:21.939
 that he will one day rise up someone who will crush the head of Satan.

00:05:21.939 --> 00:05:24.819
 And as we see, the Bible progresses,

00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:29.019
 God has a plan to undo and reverse the impact of their rebellion.

00:05:29.939 --> 00:05:33.800
 In Genesis 12, God makes a promise that he will undo Genesis 3

00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.019
 through one man and his descendants.

00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.819
 And God's plan is to bless this man and his descendants

00:05:39.819 --> 00:05:41.600
 by giving them a special place

00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.139
 where he will rule over them and dwell with them.

00:05:45.139 --> 00:05:51.680
 The plan was for the whole world to be blessed through these special people.

00:05:52.620 --> 00:05:56.300
 And in Exodus 19, as we saw, expands on it,

00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.339
 explains that the way God was going to bless this world

00:05:59.339 --> 00:06:05.079
 was to set apart a bunch of people who would be different than everyone else.

00:06:05.159 --> 00:06:08.300
 They were people who would be obedient to God's word.

00:06:08.300 --> 00:06:13.100
 The way that they would be different is that they would wholeheartedly love God

00:06:13.100 --> 00:06:14.579
 and that they would obey him

00:06:14.579 --> 00:06:17.939
 and that they would love their neighbours as themselves.

00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.400
 The book of Joshua takes us into the beginning of the conquest

00:06:23.400 --> 00:06:27.480
 of this special place of God, his promised land.

00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:32.660
 It was hard and slow because of the numerous enemies which occupied the land

00:06:32.660 --> 00:06:37.340
 and the numerous enemies of their heart which they did battle on on the inside.

00:06:37.339 --> 00:06:40.199
 And we saw last week in 2 Samuel 7

00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:45.799
 that they did finally rid the land of all of God's enemies under King David.

00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.019
 The promised land is here.

00:06:49.179 --> 00:06:50.019
 It's ours.

00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:51.079
 Fulfillment.

00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.399
 We have arrived at the destination.

00:06:55.579 --> 00:07:00.139
 And David's son Solomon sets about building a permanent temple in Jerusalem

00:07:00.139 --> 00:07:04.000
 with the Ark of the Covenant in its place in its permanent home

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.439
 and God would be a permanent fixture.

00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:09.779
 Israel is on top of the world.

00:07:13.459 --> 00:07:17.019
 And they thought that they would always be on top of the world

00:07:17.019 --> 00:07:21.439
 because in the middle of their land was the city of Jerusalem.

00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:26.079
 In the middle of the city of Jerusalem stood a permanent temple

00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:30.120
 and in the middle of the permanent temple was the Ark of the Covenant

00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:34.280
 which held the word of God and God's presence was assured.

00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.860
 Such was the arrogance of the people of Israel.

00:07:41.100 --> 00:07:45.819
 And it isn't long and we see the enemy within is still a problem.

00:07:45.819 --> 00:07:55.339
 1 Kings 10, the Queen of Sheba comes and Solomon shares the wisdom he has gained from God.

00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:59.279
 That is, the people of Israel are now blessing the nations.

00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:01.839
 That's in 1 Kings 10.

00:08:02.159 --> 00:08:04.920
 And the beginning of 1 Kings 11 we read,

00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:27.920
 Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in his love.

00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:33.580
 Turns out they are no different than anyone else.

00:08:35.340 --> 00:08:41.220
 Ezekiel 33 gives us a glimpse into the attitude of the people of God

00:08:41.220 --> 00:08:43.440
 as they consistently ignore the word of God.

00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:50.140
 As for you, son of man, your countrymen are talking together about you by the walls at the doors and the houses

00:08:50.140 --> 00:08:51.460
 saying to each other,

00:08:51.800 --> 00:08:55.020
 Come and hear the message that has come from the Lord.

00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:57.880
 And so my people come to you as they usually do

00:08:57.880 --> 00:09:00.460
 and sit before you to listen to your words.

00:09:01.520 --> 00:09:03.520
 But they do not put them into practice.

00:09:05.280 --> 00:09:08.140
 With their mouths they express devotion

00:09:08.140 --> 00:09:11.800
 but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain.

00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:17.399
 Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice

00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.620
 and plays an instrument well

00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:21.679
 for they hear your words

00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:25.539
 but they do not put them into practice.

00:09:26.079 --> 00:09:33.139
 The people of God would simultaneously sit, hear and enjoy the word of God

00:09:33.139 --> 00:09:37.379
 and then ignore it like it was just some kind of a love song.

00:09:37.379 --> 00:09:42.539
 They would go through all the motions of worship

00:09:42.539 --> 00:09:44.899
 but their hearts were far from God.

00:09:46.340 --> 00:09:49.799
 And so throughout Israel's history for the time of Samuel onwards

00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:55.000
 the prophetic office was closely linked to the conditions laid down by God

00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:56.960
 for enjoyment of covenant blessings.

00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:02.940
 Although Israel's salvation has for its basis

00:10:02.940 --> 00:10:07.060
 God's gracious act of saving the people out of Egypt

00:10:07.060 --> 00:10:13.800
 there is a close link between the enjoyment of the final outcome of that salvation

00:10:13.800 --> 00:10:16.540
 and Israel's obedience.

00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:19.060
 Now on the surface

00:10:19.059 --> 00:10:23.199
 that appears to mean that Israel's salvation

00:10:23.199 --> 00:10:26.459
 was achieved by obedience to the law

00:10:26.459 --> 00:10:28.719
 but that is not the case.

00:10:29.859 --> 00:10:34.819
 Grace first comes in the saving acts of God

00:10:34.819 --> 00:10:40.419
 and then the law binds the saved people to God as his people.

00:10:40.419 --> 00:10:46.219
 And should these people refuse to accept their responsibility

00:10:46.219 --> 00:10:47.919
 to live as God's people

00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:53.039
 then they must suffer removal from the land of blessing.

00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:54.479
 Exile

00:10:54.479 --> 00:10:58.939
 in the same way that they had previously experienced out of Eden.

00:11:00.139 --> 00:11:03.139
 The relationship of good works to salvation

00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:06.959
 is essentially the same in both the Old Testament and the New Testament.

00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.320
 In both salvation is by grace

00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.860
 but grace never stands alone with our good works.

00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:15.259
 To put it another way

00:11:15.259 --> 00:11:19.860
 we may say that no one is saved because of obedience

00:11:19.860 --> 00:11:24.480
 but no one is saved without obedience.

00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.220
 So the ministry of the prophets

00:11:30.220 --> 00:11:33.660
 was calling the people of God back

00:11:33.660 --> 00:11:35.420
 to covenant obedience.

00:11:35.419 --> 00:11:38.959
 Even when the kingdom of Israel split under Solomon

00:11:38.959 --> 00:11:42.679
 and they start to slide into destruction

00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:46.319
 the ministries of the likes of Elijah and Elisha

00:11:46.319 --> 00:11:48.259
 combined in an effort

00:11:48.259 --> 00:11:51.039
 to bring the people back to covenant obedience.

00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:54.559
 In their arrogance though

00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.419
 the people of God by and large

00:11:56.419 --> 00:11:57.719
 refused to obey

00:11:57.719 --> 00:11:59.919
 and listen to the word of God

00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:01.000
 from the mouth of the prophets.

00:12:01.459 --> 00:12:03.319
 Their sinful hearts were far from God.

00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.120
 And it gets that bad

00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.200
 that by Ezekiel

00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.300
 by the time of the prophets of Ezekiel

00:12:11.300 --> 00:12:15.120
 and other pre-exilic and post-exilic prophets

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:19.300
 they were defiling God's temple

00:12:19.300 --> 00:12:20.860
 with idolatrous worship.

00:12:21.920 --> 00:12:25.080
 A defilement that spread everywhere in the land.

00:12:25.160 --> 00:12:25.700
 In other words

00:12:25.700 --> 00:12:28.260
 God's special promised land

00:12:28.259 --> 00:12:30.419
 was now viewed as putrid

00:12:30.419 --> 00:12:32.120
 by God

00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:35.220
 according to Ezekiel 6 and 7.

00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.319
 And the penalty for this defilement

00:12:39.319 --> 00:12:41.740
 was expulsion

00:12:41.740 --> 00:12:43.279
 out of the land.

00:12:44.439 --> 00:12:47.279
 Israel had chosen uncleanliness

00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.799
 they have chosen

00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:51.600
 to ignore the word of God

00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.360
 and so they will have uncleanliness

00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:55.860
 in its full measure.

00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:59.799
 They will be driven out of God's land

00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.839
 into an unclean land.

00:13:04.199 --> 00:13:04.879
 Uncleanliness

00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:07.059
 will not just be their hearts

00:13:07.059 --> 00:13:08.439
 but uncleanliness

00:13:08.439 --> 00:13:10.600
 will be their total environment.

00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:15.620
 And so the unthinkable happens

00:13:15.620 --> 00:13:16.560
 in Ezekiel 10.

00:13:18.460 --> 00:13:20.040
 The thing that Israel thought

00:13:20.040 --> 00:13:20.899
 would never happen

00:13:20.899 --> 00:13:23.379
 God

00:13:23.379 --> 00:13:24.860
 leaves

00:13:24.860 --> 00:13:25.980
 his temple.

00:13:28.060 --> 00:13:30.019
 And now it is no more

00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:32.139
 than a few stones

00:13:32.139 --> 00:13:34.360
 heaped on top of one another

00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:36.519
 and with his departure

00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:38.699
 God hands the city

00:13:38.699 --> 00:13:40.740
 and the nation

00:13:40.740 --> 00:13:42.100
 over to be destroyed

00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:44.639
 and it happened in 586 BC.

00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:48.179
 According to

00:13:48.179 --> 00:13:51.500
 chapter 1 of Ezekiel

00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:55.319
 Ezekiel is one of God's people

00:13:55.319 --> 00:13:57.779
 that's been kicked out of God's place

00:13:57.779 --> 00:13:59.460
 and wondering

00:13:59.460 --> 00:14:01.000
 at this point

00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:02.399
 what has happened

00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.439
 to all the promises of God.

00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:06.580
 all our hope

00:14:06.580 --> 00:14:06.860
 was

00:14:06.860 --> 00:14:08.660
 wrapped up in this land

00:14:08.660 --> 00:14:09.240
 in this temple

00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:09.980
 in this ark

00:14:09.980 --> 00:14:10.600
 and now

00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:11.800
 it is all gone.

00:14:13.560 --> 00:14:14.080
 God

00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:14.560
 what have

00:14:14.560 --> 00:14:15.520
 you done?

00:14:18.020 --> 00:14:19.140
 Perhaps you can imagine

00:14:19.140 --> 00:14:20.400
 the 30 year old Ezekiel

00:14:20.400 --> 00:14:22.140
 wandering beside the Kibar River

00:14:22.140 --> 00:14:23.560
 thinking about his future.

00:14:24.500 --> 00:14:25.940
 As a 30 year old man

00:14:25.940 --> 00:14:26.900
 son of Busi

00:14:26.900 --> 00:14:28.060
 the priest

00:14:28.060 --> 00:14:29.660
 he would have began

00:14:29.660 --> 00:14:30.780
 his priestly ministry

00:14:30.780 --> 00:14:31.660
 in the temple

00:14:31.660 --> 00:14:33.280
 and now

00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:34.539
 he's 800 kilometers

00:14:34.539 --> 00:14:36.019
 from home

00:14:36.019 --> 00:14:37.899
 in a foreign land

00:14:37.899 --> 00:14:38.539
 under the rule

00:14:38.539 --> 00:14:39.639
 of a foreign empire

00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:40.799
 he was a captive

00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:42.019
 he was a slave

00:14:42.019 --> 00:14:43.220
 he was a long way

00:14:43.220 --> 00:14:43.679
 from home

00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:44.319
 both physically

00:14:44.319 --> 00:14:45.539
 and spiritually.

00:14:45.980 --> 00:14:47.039
 All of he knew

00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:47.799
 about God

00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:48.539
 and his promises

00:14:48.539 --> 00:14:50.639
 were 800 kilometers away

00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:52.500
 the temple

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:53.179
 was the center

00:14:53.179 --> 00:14:54.019
 of God's activity

00:14:54.019 --> 00:14:54.839
 with his people

00:14:54.839 --> 00:14:55.980
 but without a land

00:14:55.980 --> 00:14:57.319
 and without a Jerusalem

00:14:57.319 --> 00:14:58.779
 and without a temple

00:14:58.779 --> 00:15:00.139
 without an ark

00:15:00.139 --> 00:15:01.399
 what is left

00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.460
 is God dead?

00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:05.480
 Has God abandoned

00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:06.379
 his promises?

00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:07.819
 Has God forgotten

00:15:07.819 --> 00:15:08.840
 about his people?

00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:15.080
 Good questions.

00:15:17.299 --> 00:15:18.199
 And yet

00:15:18.199 --> 00:15:19.840
 in Ezekiel 1 verse 1

00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:22.080
 tells us that

00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:23.480
 Ezekiel saw

00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:25.559
 the heavens opened

00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:27.739
 and I saw

00:15:27.739 --> 00:15:28.559
 visions of God

00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:32.039
 on the Kiba River

00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:33.139
 800 kilometers

00:15:33.139 --> 00:15:34.799
 away from Jerusalem

00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:36.339
 in a foreign land

00:15:36.339 --> 00:15:37.119
 as a captive

00:15:37.119 --> 00:15:37.759
 no priest

00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:38.500
 no temple

00:15:38.500 --> 00:15:39.599
 only a few

00:15:39.599 --> 00:15:40.139
 of the people

00:15:40.139 --> 00:15:40.839
 of God

00:15:40.839 --> 00:15:42.639
 Ezekiel gets

00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:43.619
 a really

00:15:43.619 --> 00:15:45.659
 strange sight

00:15:45.659 --> 00:15:48.059
 he gets

00:15:48.059 --> 00:15:48.459
 a vision

00:15:48.459 --> 00:15:48.939
 of God

00:15:48.939 --> 00:15:50.659
 where God

00:15:50.659 --> 00:15:51.279
 should not be

00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:54.819
 God shows up

00:15:54.820 --> 00:15:55.940
 God has not

00:15:55.940 --> 00:15:56.320
 forgotten

00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:56.840
 his covenant

00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:57.300
 promises

00:15:57.300 --> 00:15:57.920
 to Abraham

00:15:57.920 --> 00:15:58.580
 and David

00:15:58.580 --> 00:16:00.220
 yes

00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:01.200
 right now

00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:01.760
 the people

00:16:01.760 --> 00:16:02.320
 of God

00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:02.720
 were put

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:03.260
 in the time

00:16:03.260 --> 00:16:03.860
 out corner

00:16:03.860 --> 00:16:05.340
 for their

00:16:05.340 --> 00:16:05.780
 rebellion

00:16:05.780 --> 00:16:06.280
 their sin

00:16:06.280 --> 00:16:06.540
 and their

00:16:06.540 --> 00:16:07.120
 impurity

00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:09.300
 and even

00:16:09.300 --> 00:16:09.680
 though

00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:10.860
 the majority

00:16:10.860 --> 00:16:11.840
 of the

00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:12.260
 messages

00:16:12.260 --> 00:16:13.000
 of the

00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:13.360
 prophets

00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:14.100
 is one

00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:14.879
 of judgment

00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:16.340
 it is also

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:17.100
 a message

00:16:17.100 --> 00:16:17.960
 of hope

00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:19.960
 in Ezekiel 36

00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:20.680
 God makes

00:16:20.680 --> 00:16:21.280
 a remarkable

00:16:21.280 --> 00:16:21.880
 promise

00:16:21.880 --> 00:16:22.660
 he says

00:16:22.660 --> 00:16:23.220
 for I will

00:16:23.220 --> 00:16:23.820
 take you

00:16:23.820 --> 00:16:24.360
 out of the

00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:24.760
 nations

00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:25.539
 I will

00:16:25.539 --> 00:16:26.159
 gather you

00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:26.860
 from all

00:16:26.860 --> 00:16:27.580
 the countries

00:16:27.580 --> 00:16:28.720
 and bring

00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:29.240
 you back

00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:29.819
 into your

00:16:29.819 --> 00:16:30.539
 own land

00:16:30.539 --> 00:16:31.720
 I will

00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:32.259
 sprinkle

00:16:32.259 --> 00:16:33.379
 clean water

00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:34.100
 on you

00:16:34.100 --> 00:16:35.240
 and you

00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:35.879
 will be

00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:36.759
 clean

00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.120
 I will

00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:38.779
 cleanse you

00:16:38.779 --> 00:16:39.279
 from all

00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:40.039
 your impurities

00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:40.919
 and from

00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:41.399
 all your

00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:41.840
 idols

00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:42.580
 I will

00:16:42.580 --> 00:16:42.939
 give you

00:16:42.939 --> 00:16:43.319
 a new

00:16:43.319 --> 00:16:43.679
 heart

00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:43.960
 and put

00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:44.299
 a new

00:16:44.299 --> 00:16:44.639
 spirit

00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:45.080
 in you

00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:45.600
 I will

00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:46.120
 remove

00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:47.220
 from you

00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:47.819
 your heart

00:16:47.819 --> 00:16:48.600
 of stone

00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:49.439
 and give

00:16:49.439 --> 00:16:50.019
 you a heart

00:16:50.019 --> 00:16:50.659
 of flesh

00:16:50.659 --> 00:16:52.299
 and I will

00:16:52.299 --> 00:16:52.679
 put my

00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:53.419
 spirit in

00:16:53.419 --> 00:16:53.700
 you

00:16:53.700 --> 00:16:55.500
 and move

00:16:55.500 --> 00:16:55.900
 you

00:16:55.900 --> 00:16:57.160
 from the

00:16:57.160 --> 00:16:57.700
 inside

00:16:57.700 --> 00:16:58.340
 that is

00:16:58.340 --> 00:16:59.540
 to follow

00:16:59.540 --> 00:17:00.440
 my decrees

00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:01.020
 and to be

00:17:01.020 --> 00:17:01.480
 careful

00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:02.440
 to keep

00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:03.160
 my laws

00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:05.759
 and so

00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:06.120
 through the

00:17:06.120 --> 00:17:06.500
 mouth of

00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:07.100
 this prophet

00:17:07.100 --> 00:17:09.340
 God reaffirms

00:17:09.340 --> 00:17:09.920
 his covenant

00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:10.620
 prophecies

00:17:10.620 --> 00:17:11.440
 to his

00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:11.980
 exiled

00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:12.420
 people

00:17:12.420 --> 00:17:15.200
 the people

00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:15.680
 of God

00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:16.080
 are now

00:17:16.080 --> 00:17:16.460
 looking

00:17:16.460 --> 00:17:17.120
 forward

00:17:17.120 --> 00:17:18.140
 to a

00:17:18.140 --> 00:17:18.340
 new

00:17:18.340 --> 00:17:18.900
 age

00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:21.140
 and the

00:17:21.140 --> 00:17:21.360
 new

00:17:21.360 --> 00:17:21.680
 age

00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:21.900
 will be

00:17:21.900 --> 00:17:22.500
 an age

00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:23.120
 in which

00:17:23.120 --> 00:17:23.480
 God

00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:23.820
 says

00:17:23.820 --> 00:17:24.500
 I

00:17:24.500 --> 00:17:25.019
 will

00:17:25.019 --> 00:17:25.720
 clean

00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:26.480
 you

00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:27.340
 I

00:17:27.340 --> 00:17:27.600
 will

00:17:27.600 --> 00:17:28.120
 purify

00:17:28.120 --> 00:17:28.480
 you

00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:28.759
 from

00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:28.960
 your

00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:29.720
 defilement

00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:30.000
 and your

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:31.120
 impurities

00:17:31.120 --> 00:17:33.920
 I

00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:34.180
 will

00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:34.480
 take

00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:34.660
 the

00:17:34.660 --> 00:17:35.060
 initiative

00:22:09.380 --> 00:22:09.700
 that

00:22:09.700 --> 00:22:10.560
 how

00:22:10.560 --> 00:22:10.759
 does

00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:10.880
 he

00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:11.120
 deal

00:22:11.120 --> 00:22:11.279
 with

00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:11.480
 the

00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:11.759
 sin

00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:11.980
 that

00:22:11.980 --> 00:22:12.560
 separates

00:22:12.560 --> 00:22:12.980
 them

00:22:12.980 --> 00:22:13.800
 in

00:22:13.800 --> 00:22:13.960
 the

00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:14.240
 first

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:14.800
 place

00:22:14.800 --> 00:22:16.480
 Ezekiel

00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:16.700
 doesn't

00:22:16.700 --> 00:22:17.080
 say a

00:22:17.080 --> 00:22:17.259
 lot

00:22:17.259 --> 00:22:17.580
 about

00:22:17.580 --> 00:22:17.779
 it

00:22:17.779 --> 00:22:18.120
 but

00:22:18.120 --> 00:22:18.240
 he

00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:18.440
 does

00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:18.640
 give

00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:18.779
 us

00:22:18.779 --> 00:22:19.000
 some

00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:19.380
 hints

00:22:19.380 --> 00:22:22.220
 hints

00:22:22.220 --> 00:22:22.560
 is

00:22:22.560 --> 00:22:22.740
 when

00:22:22.740 --> 00:22:22.980
 God

00:22:22.980 --> 00:22:23.300
 calls

00:22:23.300 --> 00:22:23.860
 Ezekiel

00:22:23.860 --> 00:22:24.060
 the

00:22:31.380 --> 00:22:32.480
 on

00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:32.760
 his

00:22:32.760 --> 00:22:33.240
 body

00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:33.880
 when

00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:34.700
 Ezekiel

00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:34.860
 is

00:22:34.860 --> 00:22:35.100
 told

00:22:35.100 --> 00:22:35.300

 side

00:22:36.600 --> 00:22:37.060
 in

00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:40.540
 God

00:22:40.540 --> 00:22:40.940
 promises

00:22:40.940 --> 00:22:41.160
 a

00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:41.460
 time

00:22:41.460 --> 00:22:41.640
 when

00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:41.780
 he

00:22:41.780 --> 00:22:43.100
 himself

00:22:43.100 --> 00:22:43.340
 will

00:22:43.340 --> 00:22:43.520
 make

00:22:43.520 --> 00:22:44.280
 atonement

00:22:44.280 --> 00:22:44.920
 for

00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:45.140
 the

00:22:45.140 --> 00:22:45.680
 faithless

00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:46.320
 Israel

00:22:46.320 --> 00:22:46.520
 that

00:22:46.520 --> 00:22:46.680
 is

00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:47.260
 God

00:22:47.260 --> 00:22:48.160
 himself

00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:48.880
 will

00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:49.680
 purify

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:50.259
 their

00:22:50.259 --> 00:22:50.680
 sin

00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:51.060
 and

00:22:51.060 --> 00:22:51.259
 God

00:22:51.259 --> 00:22:51.680
 also

00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:52.180
 promises

00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:52.620
 a

00:22:52.620 --> 00:22:53.019
 time

00:22:53.019 --> 00:22:53.460
 when

00:22:53.460 --> 00:22:53.600
 he

00:22:53.600 --> 00:22:53.779
 will

00:22:53.779 --> 00:22:54.340
 judge

00:22:54.340 --> 00:22:54.580
 the

00:22:54.580 --> 00:22:55.120
 people's

00:22:55.120 --> 00:22:55.560
 useless

00:22:55.560 --> 00:22:56.360
 shepherds

00:22:56.360 --> 00:22:57.380
 as it

00:22:57.380 --> 00:22:57.640
 says

00:22:57.640 --> 00:22:58.100
 in chapter

00:22:58.100 --> 00:22:59.140
 34

00:22:59.140 --> 00:23:00.120
 and place

00:23:00.120 --> 00:23:00.880
 over them

00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:01.820
 one shepherd

00:23:01.820 --> 00:23:03.000
 my servant

00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:03.400
 David

00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:05.040
 don't forget

00:23:05.040 --> 00:23:05.580
 the promises

00:23:05.580 --> 00:23:06.440
 we heard last

00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:06.759
 week from

00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:07.240
 2 Tamerals

00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:07.779
 chapter 7

00:23:07.779 --> 00:23:08.380
 that God

00:23:08.380 --> 00:23:08.660
 says the

00:23:08.660 --> 00:23:09.220
 descendant of

00:23:09.220 --> 00:23:09.660
 David will

00:23:09.660 --> 00:23:10.340
 sit on my throne

00:23:10.340 --> 00:23:10.680
 forever

00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:12.019
 and so here

00:23:12.019 --> 00:23:12.460
 we have in

00:23:12.460 --> 00:23:13.120
 chapter 34

00:23:13.120 --> 00:23:14.060
 I will place

00:23:14.060 --> 00:23:14.580
 over them

00:23:14.580 --> 00:23:15.320
 one shepherd

00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:16.539
 my servant

00:23:16.539 --> 00:23:17.200
 David

00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:17.960
 and he

00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:18.179
 will

00:23:18.179 --> 00:23:18.639
 tend

00:23:18.639 --> 00:23:18.980
 them

00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:19.480
 and he

00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:19.659
 will

00:23:19.659 --> 00:23:19.980
 tend

00:23:19.980 --> 00:23:20.139
 them

00:23:20.139 --> 00:23:20.460
 and be

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:20.720
 their

00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:21.220
 shepherd

00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:21.960
 I

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:22.179
 the

00:23:22.179 --> 00:23:22.519
 Lord

00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:22.720
 will

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:22.919
 be

00:23:22.919 --> 00:23:23.179
 their

00:23:23.179 --> 00:23:23.619
 God

00:23:23.619 --> 00:23:24.099
 and my

00:23:24.099 --> 00:23:24.500
 servant

00:23:24.500 --> 00:23:24.980
 David

00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:25.359
 will be

00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:25.859
 prince

00:23:25.859 --> 00:23:26.720
 among

00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:27.099
 them

00:23:27.099 --> 00:23:29.859
 the shepherd

00:23:29.859 --> 00:23:30.399
 who tends

00:23:30.399 --> 00:23:30.980
 the sheep

00:23:30.980 --> 00:23:32.119
 is none

00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:32.700
 other than

00:23:32.700 --> 00:23:33.119
 the good

00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:33.399
 shepherd

00:23:33.399 --> 00:23:33.799
 the Lord

00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:34.099
 Jesus

00:23:34.099 --> 00:23:34.579
 Christ

00:23:34.579 --> 00:23:35.059
 who picks

00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:35.819
 up from

00:23:35.819 --> 00:23:36.519
 Ezekiel

00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:37.359
 34

00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:38.460
 in John

00:23:38.460 --> 00:23:39.319
 chapter 10

00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:40.159
 and refers

00:23:40.159 --> 00:23:40.639
 to himself

00:23:40.639 --> 00:23:41.359
 as the good

00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:41.740
 shepherd

00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:42.379
 and why

00:23:42.379 --> 00:23:42.779
 is he the

00:23:42.779 --> 00:23:43.379
 good shepherd

00:23:43.380 --> 00:23:43.440
 shepherd

00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:45.180
 because he

00:23:45.180 --> 00:23:45.740
 lays down

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:46.640
 his life

00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:48.260
 for the

00:23:48.260 --> 00:23:48.740
 sheep

00:23:48.740 --> 00:23:50.960
 he is

00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:51.200
 the

00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:51.820
 sacrificial

00:23:51.820 --> 00:23:52.320
 lamb

00:23:52.320 --> 00:23:53.800
 and it's

00:23:53.800 --> 00:23:54.300
 because of

00:23:54.300 --> 00:23:55.300
 his sacrifice

00:23:55.300 --> 00:23:56.760
 that God

00:23:56.760 --> 00:23:57.420
 is able to

00:23:57.420 --> 00:23:58.360
 pass over

00:23:58.360 --> 00:23:59.620
 our sins

00:23:59.620 --> 00:24:00.940
 as we saw

00:24:00.940 --> 00:24:01.400
 in the second

00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:01.860
 sermon of

00:24:01.860 --> 00:24:02.380
 this series

00:24:02.380 --> 00:24:09.360
 and so

00:24:09.360 --> 00:24:11.760
 through Christ

00:24:11.760 --> 00:24:12.140
 we are

00:24:12.140 --> 00:24:12.780
 purified

00:24:12.779 --> 00:24:14.039
 the spirit

00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:14.359
 of God

00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:15.039
 comes

00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:16.559
 and we

00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:17.440
 are united

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:18.839
 with God

00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:19.519
 right now

00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:19.839
 in the

00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:20.579
 heavenly realms

00:24:20.579 --> 00:24:22.839
 right now

00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:24.019
 people of God

00:24:24.019 --> 00:24:24.599
 right now

00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:26.720
 and yet

00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:28.259
 we look

00:24:28.259 --> 00:24:28.920
 forward to

00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:29.420
 it too

00:24:29.420 --> 00:24:31.319
 we look

00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:31.700
 forward to

00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:32.420
 the complete

00:24:32.420 --> 00:24:33.660
 complete

00:24:33.660 --> 00:24:34.259
 fulfilment

00:24:34.259 --> 00:24:34.759
 of that

00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:35.740
 perfection

00:24:35.740 --> 00:24:36.279
 of being

00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:36.759
 in the

00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:37.000
 inner

00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:37.299
 sanctuary

00:24:37.299 --> 00:24:38.019
 with God

00:24:38.019 --> 00:24:38.720
 and actually

00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:39.359
 seeing him

00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:40.039
 face to face

00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:40.639
 and so

00:24:40.639 --> 00:24:41.379
 right now

00:24:41.379 --> 00:24:42.119
 this side

00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:42.500
 of heaven

00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:42.939
 we who

00:24:42.939 --> 00:24:43.539
 are purified

00:24:43.539 --> 00:24:44.199
 by Christ

00:24:44.199 --> 00:24:44.879
 live in an

00:24:44.879 --> 00:24:45.679
 impure world

00:24:45.679 --> 00:24:46.559
 and we live

00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:47.099
 by faith

00:24:47.099 --> 00:24:48.019
 and not by sight

00:24:48.019 --> 00:24:49.500
 and we live

00:24:49.500 --> 00:24:50.019
 in impure

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:50.559
 bodies

00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:51.259
 and that

00:24:51.259 --> 00:24:51.819
 means

00:24:51.819 --> 00:24:52.659
 this side

00:24:52.659 --> 00:24:53.019
 of heaven

00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:53.679
 it's a

00:24:53.679 --> 00:24:54.239
 struggle

00:24:54.239 --> 00:24:55.879
 both in the

00:24:55.879 --> 00:24:56.179
 flesh

00:24:56.179 --> 00:24:56.819
 and in our

00:24:56.819 --> 00:24:57.259
 souls

00:24:57.259 --> 00:24:58.299
 when you

00:24:58.299 --> 00:24:59.179
 don't feel

00:24:59.179 --> 00:24:59.859
 pure

00:24:59.859 --> 00:25:02.739
 can I

00:25:02.739 --> 00:25:03.699
 trust God's

00:25:03.699 --> 00:25:04.119
 promise

00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:04.919
 that he has

00:25:04.919 --> 00:25:05.500
 in fact

00:25:05.500 --> 00:25:06.459
 dealt with

00:25:06.459 --> 00:25:07.119
 my sins

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:07.879
 and that I

00:25:07.879 --> 00:25:09.159
 have complete

00:25:09.159 --> 00:25:10.059
 access to God

00:25:10.059 --> 00:25:10.480
 the Father

00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:10.759
 when I

00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:11.460
 don't feel

00:25:11.460 --> 00:25:12.079
 like it

00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:13.779
 when what

00:25:13.779 --> 00:25:14.240
 is before

00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:14.419
 me

00:25:14.419 --> 00:25:15.059
 consistently

00:25:15.059 --> 00:25:15.559
 that I

00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:16.079
 see is

00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:16.460
 my own

00:25:16.460 --> 00:25:17.279
 sinfulness

00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:20.379
 Romans 7

00:25:20.379 --> 00:25:20.759
 puts it

00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:21.139
 like this

00:25:21.139 --> 00:25:21.659
 for in my

00:25:21.659 --> 00:25:22.419
 inner being

00:25:22.419 --> 00:25:23.159
 I delight

00:25:23.159 --> 00:25:23.700
 in God's

00:25:23.700 --> 00:25:24.019
 law

00:25:24.019 --> 00:25:24.619
 but I

00:25:24.619 --> 00:25:25.319
 see another

00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:25.960
 law at work

00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:26.220
 in the

00:25:26.220 --> 00:25:26.599
 members of

00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:27.099
 my body

00:25:27.099 --> 00:25:27.919
 waging war

00:25:27.919 --> 00:25:28.500
 against the

00:25:28.500 --> 00:25:28.940
 law of my

00:25:28.940 --> 00:25:29.319
 mind

00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:30.019
 and making

00:25:30.019 --> 00:25:30.419
 me a

00:25:30.419 --> 00:25:31.059
 prisoner of

00:25:31.059 --> 00:25:31.319
 the law

00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:31.799
 of sin

00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:32.200
 at work

00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:32.599
 within my

00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:32.980
 members

00:25:32.980 --> 00:25:34.240
 what a

00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:34.559
 wretched

00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:35.460
 man I

00:25:35.460 --> 00:25:36.220
 am

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:39.640
 what's

00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:40.180
 the answer

00:25:40.180 --> 00:25:42.460
 to this

00:25:42.460 --> 00:25:43.039
 struggle of

00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:43.620
 being pure

00:25:43.620 --> 00:25:44.440
 and impure

00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:47.600
 next verse

00:25:47.600 --> 00:25:49.660
 who will

00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:50.299
 rescue me

00:25:50.299 --> 00:25:50.660
 from this

00:25:50.660 --> 00:25:51.380
 body of

00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:51.839
 death

00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:53.240
 and take

00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:53.680
 me to the

00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:54.279
 perfection

00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:55.200
 of heaven

00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:55.940
 where there's

00:25:55.940 --> 00:25:56.839
 no tears

00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:57.940
 when it's

00:25:57.940 --> 00:25:58.860
 all clean

00:25:58.860 --> 00:26:00.759
 when I'll

00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:01.180
 not just

00:26:01.180 --> 00:26:01.980
 do it by

00:26:01.980 --> 00:26:02.539
 faith but

00:26:02.539 --> 00:26:03.480
 experience it

00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:04.319
 physically

00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:06.599
 thanks be

00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:06.960
 to God

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:07.200
 through

00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:07.740
 Jesus

00:26:07.740 --> 00:26:08.299
 Christ

00:26:08.299 --> 00:26:10.700
 and so

00:26:10.700 --> 00:26:11.179
 I live

00:26:11.179 --> 00:26:11.779
 by faith

00:26:11.779 --> 00:26:12.679
 in Christ

00:26:12.679 --> 00:26:16.399
 2 Corinthians

00:26:16.399 --> 00:26:17.179
 5 talks

00:26:17.179 --> 00:26:17.539
 about the

00:26:17.539 --> 00:26:18.399
 same groaning

00:26:18.399 --> 00:26:18.859
 as we

00:26:18.859 --> 00:26:19.460
 long for

00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:19.819
 heaven

00:26:19.819 --> 00:26:21.220
 and that's

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:21.519
 where it

00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:21.960
 says in

00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:22.419
 verse 7

00:26:22.419 --> 00:26:22.819
 we live

00:26:22.819 --> 00:26:23.379
 by faith

00:26:23.379 --> 00:26:23.799
 and not

00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:24.379
 by sight

00:26:24.379 --> 00:26:25.159
 the battle

00:26:25.159 --> 00:26:25.779
 is to deal

00:26:25.779 --> 00:26:26.099
 with our

00:26:26.099 --> 00:26:26.599
 sin and

00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:27.119
 to trust

00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:27.799
 in the

00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:28.159
 promises

00:26:28.159 --> 00:26:28.759
 of God

00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:29.859
 so all

00:26:29.859 --> 00:26:30.559
 these promises

00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:30.980
 of the

00:26:30.980 --> 00:26:31.299
 gift of

00:26:31.299 --> 00:26:31.700
 the spirit

00:26:31.700 --> 00:26:32.480
 the purification

00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:33.039
 of sins

00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:33.500
 eternal

00:26:33.500 --> 00:26:34.039
 life

00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:35.159
 are not

00:26:35.159 --> 00:26:35.819
 meant to

00:26:35.819 --> 00:26:36.460
 make me

00:26:36.460 --> 00:26:37.359
 apathetic

00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:38.379
 they are

00:26:38.379 --> 00:26:39.220
 not meant

00:26:39.220 --> 00:26:39.859
 to cause

00:26:39.859 --> 00:26:40.259
 me to be

00:26:40.259 --> 00:26:40.960
 lazy

00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:42.000
 this side

00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:42.539
 of heaven

00:26:42.539 --> 00:26:43.539
 there is a

00:26:43.539 --> 00:26:43.920
 battle of

00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:44.500
 endurance

00:26:44.500 --> 00:26:45.220
 and holiness

00:26:45.220 --> 00:26:45.940
 and faith

00:26:45.940 --> 00:26:46.599
 raging

00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:47.559
 this side

00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:47.960
 of heaven

00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:48.639
 and the

00:26:48.639 --> 00:26:49.259
 promises are

00:26:49.259 --> 00:26:49.779
 there as

00:26:49.779 --> 00:26:50.460
 in 1 John

00:26:50.460 --> 00:26:51.039
 chapter 1

00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:51.579
 verse 7

00:26:51.579 --> 00:26:52.700
 if we walk

00:26:52.700 --> 00:26:53.220
 in the light

00:26:53.220 --> 00:26:53.740
 as he is

00:26:53.740 --> 00:26:54.240
 in the light

00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:54.839
 we have

00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:55.359
 fellowship

00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:55.799
 with one

00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:56.119
 another

00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:56.759
 and the

00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:57.259
 blood of

00:26:57.259 --> 00:26:57.599
 Jesus

00:26:57.599 --> 00:26:58.220
 his son

00:26:58.220 --> 00:26:59.119
 purifies

00:26:59.119 --> 00:26:59.680
 us from

00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:00.500
 all sin

00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:01.279
 if we

00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:01.940
 confess our

00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:02.220
 sins

00:27:02.220 --> 00:27:02.639
 he is

00:27:02.639 --> 00:27:03.319
 faithful and

00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:03.619
 just

00:27:03.619 --> 00:27:04.219
 will

00:27:04.219 --> 00:27:04.959
 forgive us

00:27:04.959 --> 00:27:05.699
 our sins

00:27:05.699 --> 00:27:06.639
 and purify

00:27:06.639 --> 00:27:07.539
 us from

00:27:07.539 --> 00:27:08.259
 all

00:27:08.259 --> 00:27:09.339
 unrighteousness

00:27:09.339 --> 00:27:10.259
 he is the

00:27:10.259 --> 00:27:11.219
 atoning sacrifice

00:27:11.219 --> 00:27:11.879
 for our sins

00:27:11.879 --> 00:27:12.939
 not only for

00:27:12.939 --> 00:27:13.879
 ours but also

00:27:13.879 --> 00:27:14.539
 for the sins

00:27:14.539 --> 00:27:15.239
 of the whole

00:27:15.239 --> 00:27:15.819
 world

00:27:15.819 --> 00:27:17.119
 and yet

00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:18.659
 don't just

00:27:18.659 --> 00:27:19.859
 sit there

00:27:19.859 --> 00:27:21.199
 because the

00:27:21.199 --> 00:27:21.779
 very next

00:27:21.779 --> 00:27:22.459
 verse says

00:27:22.459 --> 00:27:23.579
 we know

00:27:23.579 --> 00:27:24.459
 that we have

00:27:24.459 --> 00:27:25.000
 come to

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:25.919
 know him

00:27:25.919 --> 00:27:26.419
 that is if

00:27:26.419 --> 00:27:26.799
 we've come

00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:27.659
 to enjoy

00:27:27.659 --> 00:27:28.719
 in all this

00:27:28.719 --> 00:27:29.699
 purity and

00:27:29.699 --> 00:27:30.139
 forgiveness

00:27:30.140 --> 00:27:31.020
 of sins

00:27:31.020 --> 00:27:32.500
 if we

00:27:32.500 --> 00:27:33.160
 obey

00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:33.640
 his

00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:34.560
 commands

00:27:34.560 --> 00:27:36.800
 the man

00:27:36.800 --> 00:27:37.280
 who says

00:27:37.280 --> 00:27:38.060
 I know

00:27:38.060 --> 00:27:38.560
 him but

00:27:38.560 --> 00:27:39.020
 does not

00:27:39.020 --> 00:27:39.700
 do what

00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:40.300
 he says

00:27:40.300 --> 00:27:41.380
 is a liar

00:27:41.380 --> 00:27:42.180
 and the

00:27:42.180 --> 00:27:42.860
 truth is

00:27:42.860 --> 00:27:43.420
 not in

00:27:43.420 --> 00:27:43.780
 him

00:27:43.780 --> 00:27:44.720
 but if

00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:45.180
 anyone

00:27:45.180 --> 00:27:45.920
 obeys

00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:46.640
 his word

00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:47.540
 God's

00:27:47.540 --> 00:27:48.140
 love is

00:27:48.140 --> 00:27:49.280
 truly made

00:27:49.280 --> 00:27:50.420
 complete in

00:27:50.420 --> 00:27:50.720
 him

00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:52.000
 whoever claims

00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:52.620
 to live in

00:27:52.620 --> 00:27:53.080
 him must

00:27:53.080 --> 00:27:53.620
 walk as

00:27:53.620 --> 00:27:54.440
 Jesus did

00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:55.160
 in other

00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:55.500
 words

00:27:55.500 --> 00:27:56.920
 don't make

00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:57.740
 the mistake

00:27:57.740 --> 00:27:58.759
 of Israel's

00:27:58.759 --> 00:27:59.380
 history

00:27:59.380 --> 00:28:02.039
 listen to

00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:02.759
 Jesus the

00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:03.420
 good shepherd

00:28:03.420 --> 00:28:04.299
 when he

00:28:04.299 --> 00:28:05.200
 leads us

00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:05.660
 with his

00:28:05.660 --> 00:28:06.259
 words

00:28:06.259 --> 00:28:07.319
 words like

00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:07.839
 Sam just

00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:08.299
 read out to

00:28:08.299 --> 00:28:08.440
 us

00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:09.220
 not everyone

00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:09.779
 who says

00:28:09.779 --> 00:28:10.119
 to me

00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:11.000
 Lord Lord

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:11.740
 will enter

00:28:11.740 --> 00:28:12.140
 the kingdom

00:28:12.140 --> 00:28:12.579
 of heaven

00:28:12.579 --> 00:28:13.500
 not but

00:28:13.500 --> 00:28:14.160
 only he

00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:14.799
 who does

00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:15.480
 the will

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:15.900
 of my

00:28:15.900 --> 00:28:16.339
 father who

00:28:16.339 --> 00:28:16.619
 is in

00:28:16.619 --> 00:28:16.859
 heaven

00:28:16.859 --> 00:28:17.740
 many will

00:28:17.740 --> 00:28:18.079
 say to

00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:18.279
 me on

00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:18.619
 that day

00:28:18.619 --> 00:28:19.200
 Lord Lord

00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:19.500
 did we

00:28:19.500 --> 00:28:20.279
 not prophesy

00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:20.559
 in your

00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:21.180
 name and

00:28:21.180 --> 00:28:21.440
 in your

00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:21.920
 name drive

00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:22.660
 out demons

00:28:22.660 --> 00:28:23.099
 and perform

00:28:23.099 --> 00:28:23.940
 many miracles

00:28:23.940 --> 00:28:24.920
 and then I

00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:25.259
 will tell

00:28:25.259 --> 00:28:25.440
 them

00:28:25.500 --> 00:28:26.319
 plainly I

00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:27.099
 never knew

00:28:27.099 --> 00:28:28.180
 you away

00:28:28.180 --> 00:28:28.859
 from me you

00:28:28.859 --> 00:28:30.019
 evil doers

00:28:30.019 --> 00:28:30.900
 therefore

00:28:30.900 --> 00:28:31.980
 application

00:28:31.980 --> 00:28:34.160
 everyone who

00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:35.059
 hears these

00:28:35.059 --> 00:28:35.720
 words of

00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:36.960
 mine and

00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:37.680
 puts them

00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:39.019
 into practice

00:28:39.019 --> 00:28:40.359
 is like the

00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:41.319
 wise man who

00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:41.700
 built his

00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:42.599
 house on the

00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:42.900
 rock

00:28:42.900 --> 00:28:44.140
 Jesus says

00:28:44.140 --> 00:28:45.279
 don't make

00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:46.220
 the mistake

00:28:46.220 --> 00:28:47.299
 of the people

00:28:47.299 --> 00:28:48.000
 of God have

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:48.480
 made in the

00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:49.740
 past listen

00:28:49.740 --> 00:28:50.559
 to my word

00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:51.660
 and obey

00:28:51.660 --> 00:28:52.519
 my word

00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:56.920
 you see the

00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:57.379
 people of

00:28:57.379 --> 00:28:57.759
 God

00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:00.259
 in the

00:29:00.259 --> 00:29:00.660
 time of

00:29:00.660 --> 00:29:01.099
 the monarchy

00:29:01.099 --> 00:29:01.839
 were tempted

00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:02.440
 to trust

00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:03.039
 their wealth

00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:03.440
 and their

00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:04.119
 political

00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:05.000
 stability in

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:05.500
 the Davidic

00:29:05.500 --> 00:29:06.700
 line and

00:29:06.700 --> 00:29:07.559
 even in the

00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:08.519
 temple itself

00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:10.420
 while ignoring

00:29:10.420 --> 00:29:11.200
 the word of

00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:11.579
 God

00:29:11.579 --> 00:29:13.339
 they slipped

00:29:13.339 --> 00:29:15.180
 into apathy

00:29:15.180 --> 00:29:16.839
 because they

00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:17.379
 thought that

00:29:17.379 --> 00:29:17.660
 they had

00:29:17.660 --> 00:29:18.879
 actually arrived

00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:20.800
 at the

00:29:20.800 --> 00:29:21.180
 complete

00:29:21.180 --> 00:29:21.640
 kingdom

00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:25.980
 and the

00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:26.400
 warning from

00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:27.060
 their time

00:29:27.060 --> 00:29:27.920
 and the

00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:28.360
 mouth of

00:29:28.360 --> 00:29:28.720
 Jesus

00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:30.160
 is be

00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:30.820
 careful

00:29:30.820 --> 00:29:31.960
 of enjoy

00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:32.620
 listening

00:29:32.620 --> 00:29:33.720
 to the

00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:34.140
 word of

00:29:34.140 --> 00:29:34.560
 God

00:29:34.560 --> 00:29:35.700
 while

00:29:35.700 --> 00:29:36.520
 ignoring

00:29:36.520 --> 00:29:37.500
 its call

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:37.760
 to

00:29:37.760 --> 00:29:38.520
 obedience

00:29:38.520 --> 00:29:42.580
 and my

00:29:42.580 --> 00:29:42.940
 friends I

00:29:42.940 --> 00:29:43.260
 would love

00:29:43.260 --> 00:29:43.560
 to see

00:29:43.560 --> 00:29:44.240
 revival come

00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:44.560
 to St

00:29:44.560 --> 00:29:45.100
 Paul's

00:29:45.100 --> 00:29:46.900
 but revivals

00:29:46.900 --> 00:29:47.560
 don't happen

00:29:47.560 --> 00:29:48.180
 by talking

00:29:48.180 --> 00:29:48.760
 about them

00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:51.680
 true revivals

00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:52.160
 have happened

00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:52.799
 only when

00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:53.559
 people have

00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:54.000
 gained a

00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:54.779
 right idea

00:29:54.779 --> 00:29:55.420
 of God

00:29:55.420 --> 00:29:55.859
 and his

00:29:55.859 --> 00:29:56.420
 majesty

00:29:56.420 --> 00:29:57.039
 and his

00:29:57.039 --> 00:29:57.500
 holiness

00:29:57.500 --> 00:29:59.559
 revivals

00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:00.039
 have happened

00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:00.559
 when people

00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:01.420
 grew in

00:30:01.420 --> 00:30:02.019
 their sense

00:30:02.019 --> 00:30:02.700
 of accountability

00:30:02.700 --> 00:30:03.900
 before God

00:30:03.900 --> 00:30:05.579
 when they

00:30:05.579 --> 00:30:06.259
 grew in

00:30:06.259 --> 00:30:06.819
 their sense

00:30:06.819 --> 00:30:07.140
 of their

00:30:07.140 --> 00:30:07.720
 sin

00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:09.420
 and when

00:30:09.420 --> 00:30:09.859
 they grew

00:30:09.859 --> 00:30:10.200
 in their

00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:10.740
 sense of

00:30:10.740 --> 00:30:11.240
 Christ's

00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:11.879
 completed

00:30:11.879 --> 00:30:12.839
 saving work

00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:13.099
 on the

00:30:13.099 --> 00:30:13.480
 cross

00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:15.619
 all those

00:30:15.619 --> 00:30:16.539
 things together

00:30:16.539 --> 00:30:18.319
 in their

00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:19.039
 understanding

00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:19.720
 also of

00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:20.159
 their call

00:30:20.159 --> 00:30:20.319
 to

00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:20.779
 obedience

00:30:20.779 --> 00:30:21.079
 to

00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:21.559
 Christ

00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:23.119
 these

00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:23.559
 are the

00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:24.259
 times

00:30:24.259 --> 00:30:25.899
 when God

00:30:25.899 --> 00:30:26.680
 visits his

00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:27.399
 church

00:30:27.399 --> 00:30:28.960
 pours out

00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:29.920
 his spirit

00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:31.519
 and dead

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:32.399
 bones

00:30:32.399 --> 00:30:34.220
 come alive

00:30:34.220 --> 00:30:36.180
 amen

00:30:36.180 --> 00:30:38.720

00:30:42.840 --> 00:30:43.500
 to

00:30:43.500 --> 00:30:45.299
 this

00:30:45.299 --> 00:30:45.420
 in

00:30:45.420 --> 00:30:46.299
 Jesus
